Together (we fall)

Repost, Fluff, Pining

Xiao gazed the estuary below him, his watchful gaze overseeing the golden plains of Liyue. His molten eyes contemplated the picturesque scenery from atop the Inn, with eyes clouded by wonder. When did he start being like this? His gaze fled, looking at the amber tiles of the roof and staring at them with shame, as if seeking refuge from the eyes of the gods.

A warm breeze from the south blew, as gingko leaves fell from the ancient tree. He couldn't help but ponder. Would your touch feel as warm and delicate? When did he start feeling so weak, almost human?

At these questions, Xiao could not find an answer. Instead he could only pray his master, Rex Lapis, and ask to keep away from him you, the bane of his existence.

It started with an unfamiliar feeling, imperceptible and evasive: akin to the flutter of a butterfly's wings.

And before he knew it, that innocent was solicitude something he never knew before: a tender affection like no other, one that kept plaguing him. Did you even knew the effect you had on him? Were you aware about the way his mind kept running back to you, wondering about your wellbeing and whereabouts? Did you know how much he loathed you for the curse you laid upon him?

That was your sin, afterall: to make him, an illuminated adeptus,human.

A soft voice, akin to a whisper, spoke his name. One, two, three minutes passed, yet the adeptus did not know if he should've fuel with your presence the curse you bestowed upon him.

You really were cruel.

Then, he acknowledged your call.

You smiled and- archons, Xiao could swear that your smile was so resplendent like none. "You're here" you whispered, as if making sure that the one before you was the Adeptus of Wangshu Inn himself and not a naive reverie.

"Why did you call me? Is something the matter?" he spoke, blaming once again your curse for making him utter those words more softly than he had intended. However, you didn't notice it, he comforted himself. Or maybe you pretended to not have heard.

You bit your cheek, trying to suppress a mischievous grin. "Well... I wanted to ask you a favour" the way you spoke those words did not foretell anything good.

Ages could've changed yet human's foolishness would never know boundaries. Xiao let out something between a sigh and a groan, uncaring about your hurted gaze. And after all, it wasn't worth it for an adeptus to deal with their stupidity. Few Qingxins laid forgotten on the balcony's wooden floor while others had been haphazardly placed inside a porcelain vase.

"What is that long face? It suits you well, you know" your pout did not take long to morph into one of those adorable smiles of yours.

The adeptus did not reply as he gazed at the faraway mountains, hidden by the veil of mist while begging the gods to not let you see the burning flush of his cheecks. You fell silent, observing the flowers you oh-so painstakingly intertwined in a flower crown. "Seriously, it suits you" you gazed away, eyes seeking a refuge from him "It makes you look... cute" you muttered that word softly as if trying to not be heard.

He blinked- once, twice, thrice- at you features still immersed in your own thoughts not cognizant of the feeling wholly taking over Xiao. "Stop spitting out nonsense" his words sounded more like a pitiful groan than the growl he intended.

Your angelic smile was now turned into a devilish grin. This side of you was rather... pleasing, he found himself shamelessly thinking much to his own dismay and chagrin. "But alas, I'm afraid that no flower could ever compare with your beauty"

Those candid guise of yours truly hid an imp. The words he spoke next were unforeseeable even to himself "....are you trying to woo me?"

Astonishment painted over your features and he eftsoons found himself enjoying the sight in front of him. Then, you reminded Xiao how obnoxious you could be. "Who knows" a lopsided grin adorned your features.

A sigh left his lips. "You truly are reckless". Archons above, please, do not let them hear this fondness in his voice. A giggle escaped from you as the mellifluous sound resonated through the air. He felt his heart flutter and, for the first time after aeons, Xiao cursed his human vassal.

He stared at you as he felt your eyes linger on his figure. "What's wrong?"

"You have a petal in your hair" you spoke, eyes still not leaving his features.

"You're the one that made me wear it" he huffed.

"You look adorable with it, however" you grinned teasingly. He abruptly turned his head, directing his gaze elsewhere "... Just how many times are you going to repeat that?"

You didn't reply as you grinned triumphantly at the Adeptus' reaction. A chortle left your lips "There, there, let me remove it"

"Do not give it much relevance" despise his words, your hand did not cease its path.

You gently took the minute petal, which hid itself in a teal lock of his hair. You were close- oh, so close that he almost melted under your touch. You didn't make any sense, how could you treat a creature that only knew the blood of the battlefield with such carefreeness? How could you touch him so delicately as if he could've break like glass?

You withdrawed your hand violently, feeling a sharp pain as if you've been hit by an electric shock. You groaned in pain, feeling your arm becoming numb. It hurts. If this anguish continued you were sure that you would've exhale your last breath.

"... Xiao?" you weakly called his name, your voice was now hoarse.

Your words were met by thin air.

You didn't know how much time passed before you managed to see him once again. No matter how many times you tried to approach him, every time you attempted to talk to him, he always disappeared right before your eyes. It hurted, for some reason.

"What are you trying to do?" you tried to ask one day. You didn't need to say anything else.

"I'm harmful to mortals, even my presence alone is enough to hurt you" his Gaza moved on you, his eyes finally indulging on you instead on the Liyue's landscape illuminated by the golden rays of eventide. "You should be well aware of it"

"Stop avoiding me, please" you begged, on the verge of falling into despair. The look in your eyes was enough to make his heart ache.

His mind was filled with sorrow. "It's for your own good" speaking those words felt like being stabbed. "I'm sorry" he murmured to the wind. It hurted, too much. Ages of endless slaughter made him used to endure sufferings unknown to this world. But he was defenseless like a newborn in front of regret.

"I'll endure it, we'll find a way but please..." You letted only the voices from afar of the other travellers fill that silence. You smiled melancholically, his heart fluttered both for the pain and something else. "Unfortunately for you I like being with you

You were a paradox to him, something that he couldn't understand even in ages-no, millenia. He loathed you completely for your nativity even if you were the only one that taught him the meaning of human emotions, even if you could put at ease for an ephemeral time his tormented soul.

He hated you for your curse, even if he knew that it wasn't by no means a fruit of witchcraft. "I am bound to protect this land by a contract that has been forgotten by many if not immortals. My duty is simply to protect Liyue from evil, yet... yet I would hate to see you hurt because of me" he paused, his Amber eyes gazing at you. You swore you saw the ghost of a smile on his lips "Besides, you are deserving of all the happiness of this world"

im actually really happy w this lil bit of writing so im posting it here too ok bye

tw // graphic details of eye injury/loss, explicit emeto, abuse implied, victim blaming, gore, needles-mentioned, medical

It's after dark when Chris manages to peel himself off of the bathroom floor, sticky with sweat and drying blood. The back of his shirt protests its removal from the yellowed tiles on the floor with all the strength it has, but Chris' mechanical motions of musculature overpowers the fabric in the simple and rehearsed motion of slowly sitting up. An exhale leaves him as he accomplishes this, a heaving in his back of exertion well-made. The lightbulbs in the room burn in cold-tones, a faint hum of electricity merrying away in static order on the wiring. The dark is kept on the other side of the port-shaped window at the end of the room over Chris' shoulder. In front of him, then, is the door. The entrance, the exit. It goes out to the larger portion of the suite, a walk in closet, vanity room, hot-tub-having stylings of wealth, and the large bedroom and its balcony over the ocean. Not that the doors out to the balcony have ever been unlocked in Chris' entire tenure of being here. No, only the sunshine and thunderstorms get to be privvy to the oak boards comprising the floor, and they both knock with their own fiercenesses at the glass windows and doors that make up the birdcage of a room Chris is kept in.

As his vision steadies and rights itself, stops dipping at either side of his freshly shortened peripheral into a sharp darkness, into a tunnel, into a telescope's curve and dizzying specks politely excuse themselves from his field of view, Chris takes a slow inhale and begins the work of standing. It's disorienting, and a hand instinctively goes to cup gently the side of his face wet with tears, with blood and plasma. As if that would do anything to defend the torn skin now, a delayed defensive posture.

It's not that he thought he was immune to harm, Chris reasons. It's not that he thought Jezebel was above this, he chastises. It's just that he thought he'd have better reflexes, when it came down to it. That he could trust his body to know the ways to hold his bones such that harm was minimized, the way to flex his tongue into a shape that produced a sound convincing enough to ward off the knife, the hands and all the wicked ways one body can clash into the next, the way two people can become a car crash as much as any vehicle.

Somehow, he's standing. Little miracles keep the devil on the back porch, Chris thinks bitterly. No word yet on what miracles are needed to get the devil out of the home he owns.

His free hand steadies his body by clutching desperately at the marble counter of the sink. Chris breathes in, and out, and in, when his vision starkly reduces down to a warm and fuzzy black for a brief moment before conscience rushes back in from his stomach and leaves his mouth a form of bile and foam that spills without grace into the porcelain bowl conveniently embedded in front of him. He hacks a few pathetic coughs, feeling his hand turn clammy with sweat and shake coldly against the counter, his eyelids trying to reactively screw shut with the automatic force, which in turn makes the right side of his face spasm in pain.

When the sick is satisfied, and his throat feels coated only with the normal amount of saliva, Chris slowly, unsteadily, straightens his back out and chances a glance in the mirror now in front of him, looking up at himself through his lashes, a hand again covering his right eye, a dark purple and yellow bruise forming under the other, and freshly popped blood vessels pooling a light pink in the glistening wet of tears threatening to spill salt into any wound it can find. Chris' lip warbles, less in sorrow and more in unbridled disgust, and his hand abandons his face as he quickly turns the faucet on until ice cold water flows frantically down, and he washes the sides of the sink down with both hands until it's all clear and wet and slick again with the banal neutrality of tap water. Lifting his hands to his chest, Chris looks around weakly and then limply drops both hands into a towel hung from the wall, clumsily balling and unballing his fists to manipulate the fabric into a drying motion. As he does, the patheticness of his motions overcome him, and the tears win their battle with his eyelashes, carving out sizzling rivulets down both cheeks, charting paths through the blood stains and founding new colonies in the crease of his nostrils, the wrinkles of his frown and tickling along his jaw and chin in frustrating marches.

Finally, Chris gets the courage to unmoor from the bathroom counter and open the door with all the dignity of a wet fish at market, leaning heavily on the doorknob before moving slowly out into the wider room. Through the larger space, the tiled floor and gilded molding of the small suite lounge or large walk-in closet, depending on how you looked at it. Whatever the room was, the hot tub in the corner was too gaudy for it regardless, and yet it persisted to be there as a fixture, almost as a testament even to the will of the owner; there not to do anything, there simply because it can be. Simply because you cannot stop it. Chris moves on and into the main bedroom. All plush carpet and heavy curtains, crisp white sheets and down-feather comforters. Cold to the touch, and cold just to look at. A crystalline electric chandelier adorns the center of an indented ceiling, casting warped light around the room in an array dizzying on merit alone, never mind when viewed through injury and gore. It's all Chris can do to avoid an unfortunate sick fit into the aggravatingly white carpet. It's the kind of room that feels desperate to tattle on you to any witnesses. Any mistake, any stain, any tear, painfully made obvious in the same way a martyr is singled out in religious reliefs. A massive dinner plate of divinity erected behind the source of holiness.

Blood drips off of Chris' cheek alongside some of his tears, and burns an incriminating red drop into the carpet, and it's already too late. But why should he be so keen to hide his injury, Chris wonders, being as the benefactor of the home is the harbinger of the open wound? There's no decency in hiding the crop from the horse. He sighs and sways on his feet in a dangerous warning of lost steam to remain standing, and he makes the executive decision to all but collapse to the floor where he is, considering it far enough to at least not be considered languishing in his own blood. And then it's all dark and spinning light as he stares at the ceiling until he faints.

Chris wakes up slowly, and then all at once as he registers hands near his face, as he feels breath on his face, measured and steady, and he attempts to lunge upward into sitting but is fouled by it, immediately in pain, immediately too dizzy to commit, and instead only succeeds in a weak, slight thrashing in protest, which is easily quelled by cold hands resting insistently on his bicep, anchoring it still to the bed. Chris twists his head aside, and his movements calm, his muscles loosen. Not Jezebel.

It's the only other resident of this sprawling Hell of a mansion; a young girl, with frazzled hair and knobbly hands and lips bit to perpetually bloodied pieces. Light freckles spatter her face, which Chris hasn't had the chance to notice before. Her eyes are dark, and wide, like a deer evaluating a spotted threat. Chris thinks he hasn't realized how young she was, before. But now, in his own blood-loss induced fugue, it seems the largest revelation in the room. She couldn't be older than sixteen.

Without a word, of assurance or otherwise, she sets back to Chris once he stops struggling, her hands deftly making work of a stinging sensation along his cheek- stitches, Chris realizes must be the case. No wonder she wanted him still; even then, he barely contains a shudder at the unwelcome intrusion of a vision of a needle entering his already-damaged eye, popping like a jelly-filled water balloon. He looks at the ceiling again, and realizes he's now on the bed in the grand room, the chandelier still weaving its fractured light, and the sun just coming up in the grayscale light of a bleary morning through the windows.

"Jackie," Chris says quietly, hoarse; more a statement to himself, of remembering her name, than having any plan to say anything after.

All the same, Jackie pauses in her motion, confirming Chris' memory of what she was called. He can feel her silently staring him down with all the care of a starved cat. Realizing she's waiting for his next words, for his statement, for his question, Chris finds his chest filling with the sludge of awkward anxiety, and it leaves his mouth in a slew of half-phrases.

"Oh- no- no, I- I just meant, no, I don't- there's nothing. Nothing after that. Wanted to- couldn't remember your name."

She's quiet still, but soon resumes her even stitching, and Chris does his best to abide as best a patient he can play at. "It's Jackie." She says after a moment, curt and stilted.

A half-sigh, half-laugh bubbles out of the corner of Chris' mouth like rabid foam from the snout of a wild fox, and he feels it churn seawater inside the cavity of his throat. The shock of laughing at all, realizing for some odd reason, only now, that he's lost an eye- that he'll never see fully again, that always the world is a half-filled thing to him, and here he is, laughing- laughing at the absurdity of awkward conversation with a stranger at the precipice of his newfound-loss.

"No, yeah, I know- you're Jackie. I know." Chris hears his mouth say, a separate entity from the reeling of his gray matter into terror, held off only on the cusp of shock. "You're Jackie, I'm Chris, and we're both in Hell-"

Chris' sentence is cut-off by an abrupt giggle that spills against his chest and pools like ice in his clavicle, moving through his throat like a blood clot, violent and unrelenting, turning from laugh to cough with the stumbling affection of a foal. It peters off into an almost-whimper, as he resists the urge to curl on his side into a ball, grasping his own shoulders in a bid to see if the human form could become a tortoise if it fought hard enough against biology.

Jackie says nothing in turn to him, and a quiet snipping of scissors, uncomfortably close to the minute hairs on Chris' chin, is all that fills the cavern of oxygen in the large room that suddenly feels only all too small for all the hands inside of it.

In the uncomfortable buzz of silence as Jackie switches to wiping blood from Chris' face, using alcohol pads to cut through the grime with efficiency, a new stinging not any more welcome to his senses, Chris feels his mind turn aimlessly over. In the fog of memory, Chris sees a lecture hall from his first semester; an English class he found endlessly boring, in the way the teacher could never seen to hear enough of his own voice, the way he read with such force you'd think he was the secret identity of an immortal Shakespeare come to torment first year university students with literary analysis. In thinking on the class, in the scraps of words written before any of the students were born, before any of their parents had teeth, and even before their grandparents knew about the devil in their left hands, Chris remembers the only exchange in a work examined that left any impression on him. Euripedes, translations done by Anne Carson, and the way she'd interpreted out a simple way of interaction: I'll take care of you, says one. And the response, which always felt humorous in its devastation to Chris;

"It's rotten work." Chris finds his tongue mumbling, as if made of cotton or half-asleep at the wheel of recitation. The words are pushed in a slurry out of the middle of his teeth, whistling like dying geese.

The hand pushing a damp, synthetic cloth into Chris' skin pauses at that. There's the unmistakable feeling in the air that Jackie is stunned at the words, either from recognition or bewilderment at what he's saying, depending on if she's even familiar with what he's quoting. She begins a word, which tumbles into a low and shaken hum, somewhere between uncertain and rattled with indignity. For the moment, Jackie seems to decide against response, only focusing on cleaning Chris' face, his held together skin, pressing gauze over his ruined eye and finishing her diligent work, too informed for her age on all the ways to ward infection out of the fenceposts of a body. She even turns out the huddled away tears caught those hours ago in the crevices of Chris' face, bidding them to dry up and prevent undue moisture gathering and rotting there.

The silence is absolute and tersely held by both parties until at last, Jackie sits back on her ankles, hands folding delicately in her lap as she looks down at Chris' tended-to form with an apathy that strikes Chris as probably not dissimilar of the seasoned mortician sending a body down to the pits of the earth once more. A trained, somber expression, distantly assailed in grief. Chris looks at her with his remaining eye, and the sun rises behind her back in the way the dark was held at bay behind his own, only hours ago.

"Yeah." She says in a weak voice, her chin dropping down to her chest as though a string were cut from her puppeted body, too upset or too shy to see Chris directly in such a way.

"Yeah, it is."

footsteps on the tile for the fic titles ask game

Cold tiles. Porcelain. It's freezing out tonight and RIcharlyson is hungry.

He knows not to be out of his room so late, heaven knows his pai worries enough when he's a moment uncovered in overpowered armour. But Richas is a brave little egg, he thinks at least. That's why he's taking his crutches and ambling his way to the kitchen, toes barely touching the tiled floor.

A shiver crawls up his back as soon as he presses more of the sole onto the floor. He forgets how cold it gets in the castle sometimes at night, no matter how many extravagant torches and lanterns his pai puts up. The place is big and tall, the walls would swallow Richarlyson whole if they could. They'd trap him in an endless abyss of warmthless brick and metal railings, drawing out all the innocent warmth left in him like vampires. If he so much as breathes, it will be nothing but frosted exhales.

...Anyways, the food.

Richas slips the crutches on his wrists to set himself in front of the counter just below the shelves. With his crutches, he lifts himself even higher just enough to sit on the counter. Truly a talent, Richas is, as he indulges himself in the forbidden cookie jar. While he crunches down on the dessert with devilish desire, he looks outside. Nighttime. No sudden changes in the sky. He's safe.

The castle is very safe, there are turrets to shoot bad guys and pai's bedroom is just an elevator away. He's not worried. Just lonely. Richas used to stay up at night, so late past his bedtime because he couldn't close his eyes. It wasn't impossible, he can blink as slow until they were so slow it was practically a nap. But he couldn't, or more of wouldn't. It was just a month ago. The first time in that while he slept was when he was sat facing the window, waiting for the sunrise.

Richarlyson turns to the open balcony of the kitchen. He's older than the sunrise now, yet somehow the younger is still so late to start. Silly him. Richas swallows the cookie and the strange heart caught in his throat. It's weird now, not eerie but weird. That the world is so silent. It's no fault of his that piercing ambience is all that permeates his world now. It's no fault of anyone but the ones keeping them here. Even as he bites into a cookie with a snap, it's quiet. Cold. Hungry

Up until there are clicks of feet across the porcelain.

[or Richas is about to get caught with hands in the cookie jar in the kitchen]

Please Don't Leave

Hi, here's a bittersweet little fanfic based on the aftermath the latest episode. All of them are traumatized but it's going to be okay. This is for all my homies who just need a hug.

CW: Swearing, brief mention of blood, child abuse, and guns (nothing more dramatic than the canon show)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some days are better than others. Some days you wake up at 9AM to the sound of a painfully off-key four year old singing to an NHK kids program, the distant clatter of cutlery, and the smell of pancakes. Some days the sunlight spills over the peony scented sheets like gold and you let the calm swallow you whole.

Today is not one of those days.Today is one of those days where you wake up in a cold sweat, heaving on the bathroom floor. The tiles had drained all warmth from your body. The prickly gash in your arm has bled through the tensor bandage and is now staining the sterile white porcelain of the bathtub. You forgot to turn off those sickly greenish lights again. Serves you right for staying up three nights buzzed off of energy drinks with a loaded glock at your side. You wish you had saved more on your energy bill so you wouldn’t have to see your gaunt feverish reflection in the mirror.

‘Clean it up—“ you hear in your father’s voice. It sounds dangerously close. The tension in those words is so tight it feels like it’s inches from making contact with your skin. Shakily you erase any trace of your stay in this room.

‘Miri.'

You silently pace down the hall. Gentle on the heel and breathe through your mouth slowly so you don’t make a sound. You’ve memorized where the floorboards creek and where they hold your weight without complaint. Gently you push the pads of your fingers into the sticker and crayon covered door before slipping your head in. The cat clock is ticking away methodically. It’s 2:08 AM. You watch the lump of pink pyjamas and messy brown hair with bated breath. Your shoulders ease an inch when your confirm the rise and fall of her chest. She groans and mumbles something before rolling over to face you.

'She’s safe.' You scold yourself mentally. 'Go back to your post.’

That’s when she opens her big brown eyes and screams. You jolt and step backwards. Your footing is lost on a discarded heap of laundry resting on the hardwood floor. Your head makes contact with the threshold. Stars. Suddenly the whimpers hidden behind a quilted shield becomes uncontrollable wailing.

Within moments you hear sheets being thrown down the hall and the slam of a bedroom door. Kazuki sprints down the hall within seconds with a baseball bat over his shoulder, hair as wild as his bleary stare. You lock eyes. He slowly lowers his weapon, tosses it to the side, and starts hissing exasperated remarks before bursting into Miri’s bedroom and flipping on the light switch. “Papa, there’s a monster—“ Miri chokes.Kazuki sighs and meets her embrace with a firm bear hug. “Miri, there is no monster—"

‘Monster.' You only catch the tail end of what Kazuki says because you’re already halfway down the hall.

He finds you an hour later on the balcony. He’s likely lulled her back to sleep and replaced himself with several plushies to get here. The cool air and calming scent of tobacco has reduced rigors to a fine tremor. It’s peaceful for a moment as you watch the flickering lights over the bridge and the faraway sound of the river flowing. Another drag of a cigarette steadies your uneven breathing. Kazuki knows better than to rest a hand on your shoulder right now and you are grateful for it. Instead he joins you at the railing.

“Kyu-chan called.” Kazuki said softly. “Is this why you gave us these?” He slipped a couple plane tickets, forged passports, and an envelope of cash out from his dressing gown and waved it listlessly over the three story drop.

“You two don’t deserve this.” You murmur. You don’t deserve to get hurt because of me.

Kazuki gave a bitter laugh. “Is this why you’ve been so eager on chores and taking Miri to school lately? You’re playing hero?” You turn to him a little shocked. “Miri didn’t deserve the parents she was given. I didn’t deserve to lose my wife and unborn child. You didn’t deserve to be abused and turned into a child soldier.”

“I—“

"Do you know what we do deserve, Rei?” He barks. “We deserve this stupid little family. I don’t care how much I suck at our job or how much you suck at being a civilian, I would die to keep it. You are fucking insane if you think I’m going to leave you!”

You stare, something sadder than a scream trying to escape your paralyzed tongue. A raw, beaten, and longing part of you lamely lifts a hand to reach for him. Within seconds you’re holding onto each other for dear life. Kazuki’s shaky breathing is muffled into your shoulder. You can feel the steadying beat of his heart against your ribs. One hand is woven through your hair and another drawing circles into your back. All you can do is squeeze him tighter.

Somehow you both make it to the living room. Kazuki pulls two chairs between the sofa and coffee table before reinforcing them with couch cushions. Everything is moving in slow motion, slipping between your fingers like water. It’s only when he returns from the hall with a blanket that you start to question the scene unfolding in front of you.

“What are you doing?”

“Making a pillow fort,” he huffs.

“Why?”

Kazuki looks at his work with a solemn smile. “When Miri does it she always seems happier.”

Before you can comment he’s already dragging you by the shirt collar and crawling inside. It’s cramped, dangerously soft, and the little lamp between covers the fleece ceiling with a maple syrup hue. You sink into the cushions a bit before someone draws up your sleeve and starts working on the shoddy dressing. You’re too exhausted to protest.

“You were bleeding on the floor, dumbass.” He scolds. “How long were you planning to hide this?”

You shrug halfheartedly. He pours saline over the gash. You clench your jaw. By the time the blood has been dabbed away with gauze, the edges taped together, and a thick pad of cotton is slapped overtop, you’re nodding off. You wonder if there is another reality where you two met as children and sat in a pillow fort together.

You don’t realize that he left until you hear the ticking on the gas burner and the clunk of the kettle. A needy insecure part of you wants to call him back. Instead of pushing it down as usual, you think of what he said on the balcony and feel a little more at ease. It’s not long before you are both sitting shoulder to shoulder with warm herbal tea in your hands. It’s raspberry, lavender, and camomile, with honey, of course.

That’s when you hear footsteps.

The floorboards groan.

The hair stands on the back of your neck.

A shadow looms over the fleece roof of the pillow fort.

That’s when a drowsy Miri appears with a strawberry print blanket trailing behind her. She whines about Kazuki-papa leaving before crawling into your lap. Kazuki appears relieved but a little offended.

“Rei-papa,” she yawns. “You’re not a monster. I’m sorry.” You gently brush her bangs out of her eyes. “When mama gets sad, she leaves. Please don’t leave.”

There is that creeping feeling in your throat again. She nuzzles her porcelain cheek into your chest and grips balls up the grey fabric in her tiny hands. Neither you or Kazuki say it aloud but raising Miri has become a kind of healing. For Kazuki, it's moving on. It's becoming the father he was so excited about becoming before it was all taken away. For you it's learning the patience and kindness that you were never entitled to. Suddenly the numbness of blue screens and cigarette smoke falls away with a sober realization: you could lose what you thought were never worthy of.

You curl into her little fragile body and feel your bones start to shake. You don’t realize how hard you're biting back tears until you taste metal. Kazuki envelopes both of you like the giant space heater he is. Maybe it’s the weight on your mind or Kazuki’s stupid pec crushing your aching arm but years of self loathing, guilt, and anger start to spill out in tears racing down your cheeks. It’s so overwhelming your stomach collapses into itself and all you can do is gasp for air. Startled, Miri starts bawling too. It takes twenty minutes of gentle rocking, whispered words of reassurance, and wiping away tears but the tide of your breath turns slow and littered with hiccups. You forget the feeling that catharsis forced out of you and float in that cotton headspace a bit while smoothing out the cowlicks on your daughter’s head.

“I’m sorry I made Rei-papa cry…” Miri sobs.

“No!” You blurt out. The thought of letting her carry that guilt makes you queasy.

Kazuki sighs and cups her face with one hand. “Miri, sometimes people need to cry but they don’t feel safe enough to do it.” He explains. “Then all that sad and angry makes you sick and you forget how to smile.”

Miri sniffs and lets out a meek but thoughtful “oh".

“That’s why we need family,” he announces. Oh god, not another inspirational rant. “So we don’t get emotionally constipated!”

Miri knocks her head to the side. “What’s a con-stah-pated?"

Kazuki cackles. You elbow him in the side. He pulls both of you down with a dramatic roar into the cushions in retaliation. Miri squeaks and giggles. She looks up at you with equally red and puffy eyes, slaps her grubby fingers on your cheek, and smiles. It’s incredibly effective.

“I’m not leaving.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

The next day you wake up from a dreamless sleep. Hazy shadows slowly come into focus. You hear the noisy little inhales and exhales of a child pressed into your shoulder. Your forehead is warm against a man’s stubbly jaw. The refrigerator hums and somewhere far away there are sparrows singing. Shards of rose and orange morning light dance across the blanket canvas protecting all of you. All of the tension wound up in your back has come undone. The pain in your arm is dull and distant. Your eyes start to grow heavy again. Next time you wake up it's 9AM, there’s a painfully off-key four year old singing to an NHK kids program, the table is being set, and you smell pancakes.

What are the most durable slip-resistant flooring materials for outdoor areas?

When it comes to outdoor spaces, slip-resistant flooring is a must-have. Whether you’re designing a patio, balcony, garden path, or pool area, ensuring safety and durability is key to long-term enjoyment and function. In places like Brisbane, where the weather can vary from intense summer heat to heavy rainfall, choosing the right flooring materials is essential to maintaining both safety and aesthetics.

In this article, we’ll explore some of the most durable slip-resistant flooring materials ideal for outdoor areas, with a special focus on Brisbane slip-resistant flooring options. Let’s dive in and discover what’s best for your outdoor space.

1. Rubber Flooring: A Safe and Durable Option

Rubber flooring is a popular choice for outdoor areas, particularly in high-traffic zones such as pool decks, playgrounds, and outdoor gyms. One of the main benefits of rubber flooring is its slip-resistant properties, which are ideal for wet conditions. In Brisbane, where the climate can bring sudden rain showers, rubber flooring’s ability to maintain grip even in the wettest conditions makes it an excellent option.

Rubber tiles come in various designs, colors, and thicknesses, providing versatility while maintaining their durability. They’re not only slip-resistant but also weather-resistant, making them perfect for Brisbane’s variable climate. Rubber flooring is known for being soft underfoot, reducing the risk of injury in case of a fall. Additionally, it’s highly resistant to wear, making it an investment that will stand the test of time.

2. Concrete with Anti-Slip Coating: Strong and Functional

For a more industrial look, concrete is a reliable and durable slip-resistant flooring option. When properly sealed or treated with an anti-slip coating, concrete can offer a high level of traction, especially in outdoor spaces exposed to moisture or water.

Concrete is extremely durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it perfect for driveways, patios, and walkways. In Brisbane, where outdoor living is so popular, concrete’s ability to hold up against both sun and rain makes it a top choice. Moreover, adding an anti-slip coating ensures that the surface remains safe even during wet weather, which is crucial for maintaining safety around pools or during storms.

For additional customization, concrete can be stamped or stained to create a variety of textures and finishes, all while retaining its non-slip qualities.

3. Timber Decking with Anti-Slip Treatment: Classic Elegance Meets Safety

Timber decking has always been a staple of outdoor design. Its natural warmth and aesthetic appeal are timeless. However, timber can sometimes be slippery, particularly when wet, which is why an anti-slip treatment is essential in Brisbane’s moist environment.

When choosing timber for outdoor areas, it’s crucial to go for materials that are naturally resistant to moisture, such as hardwoods like Merbau, Spotted Gum, or Jarrah. These woods are not only durable but also perform well in outdoor conditions. After installation, applying an anti-slip coating can enhance safety without compromising the wood’s beauty.

Timber decking treated for slip resistance offers a smooth yet safe surface, and when properly maintained, it can last for many years. Whether you’re creating a cozy patio or a spacious deck, timber with slip-resistant treatment combines functionality with elegance, making it a perfect fit for Brisbane homes.

4. Porcelain and Ceramic Tiles: Stylish and Slip-Resistant

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are common choices for both indoor and outdoor spaces due to their durability and wide range of design options. When looking for Brisbane Slip-resistant Flooring materials for outdoor areas in Brisbane, tiles can be an excellent option, provided you choose the right type.

Not all tiles are created equal—some offer better slip resistance than others. Textured porcelain or ceramic tiles with a matte finish are ideal for outdoor areas like patios, verandas, and pool surrounds. These tiles are less slippery compared to their glossy counterparts, even when wet, making them a perfect choice for Brisbane’s unpredictable weather.

Additionally, porcelain and ceramic tiles are easy to maintain, resist stains, and offer a variety of colors and patterns that can enhance the aesthetics of any outdoor space.

5. Gravel and Pea Gravel: Natural and Effective

Gravel might not be the first flooring material that comes to mind when thinking of slip resistance, but it offers a unique and highly effective solution for outdoor spaces. The small, loose stones provide a natural texture that increases traction, making gravel a safe choice for pathways, garden areas, and even driveways.

In Brisbane, where outdoor living spaces often blend with nature, gravel complements a rustic or natural aesthetic while providing a slip-resistant surface. Pea gravel, in particular, offers a smoother surface that is still effective at preventing slips.

While gravel doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, it’s important to note that the stones may shift over time, especially in high-traffic areas. However, the inherent slip resistance of gravel makes it a solid choice for creating a safe and durable outdoor surface.

6. Decking Tiles: Quick and Easy Slip-Resistant Solution

Decking tiles have become increasingly popular due to their ease of installation and slip-resistant properties. These tiles often come in materials like wood, composite, or rubber and can be placed directly over existing flooring, making them a convenient option for anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space quickly.

For Brisbane homeowners, composite decking tiles are an excellent choice as they combine the beauty of wood with the durability of synthetic materials. Composite decking tiles are resistant to moisture, UV rays, and wear, making them ideal for hot summers and wet winters. Their slip-resistant surface ensures safety while still providing a stylish, modern look for patios and balconies.

Decking tiles are also low maintenance, with no need for sealing or refinishing, making them an easy and cost-effective solution for Brisbane slip-resistant flooring needs.

7. Outdoor Carpeting: Soft and Secure

Outdoor carpets, often made from synthetic materials like polypropylene, provide a soft, comfortable surface that is also slip-resistant. These carpets are designed to withstand the elements and are perfect for creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere in outdoor areas like patios and balconies.

What makes outdoor carpeting ideal for Brisbane is its resistance to mold, mildew, and fading. Additionally, outdoor carpets have built-in slip-resistant backing, providing extra grip even in wet conditions. They come in a range of colors and textures, allowing homeowners to add a personal touch to their outdoor décor.

The soft surface is especially appreciated in areas where people spend a lot of time barefoot, such as near pools or in relaxation zones.

8. Epoxy Coatings: A Durable and Safe Choice

Epoxy coatings are often used to enhance the durability and slip resistance of existing flooring, particularly concrete surfaces. Epoxy is a tough, long-lasting material that can withstand heavy foot traffic and exposure to the elements. It’s also highly customizable, with various finishes and textures that increase its slip-resistant qualities.

In Brisbane, epoxy coatings can be applied to outdoor concrete surfaces like driveways, patios, and pool areas to create a smooth, safe surface that prevents slips and falls. These coatings are also resistant to water, oil, and stains, making them easy to clean and maintain. Epoxy is a great option for those looking to enhance the performance of their flooring without completely replacing it.

Conclusion

Choosing the right Brisbane slip-resistant flooring material for outdoor areas is crucial for ensuring safety, comfort, and longevity. Whether you opt for rubber flooring, concrete with anti-slip coatings, timber decking, or any other material, the key is to find a solution that meets both your aesthetic preferences and functional needs.

The materials discussed in this article, including rubber, concrete, timber, and more, all offer various benefits when it comes to durability, slip resistance, and weather resilience. By investing in high-quality slip-resistant flooring for your outdoor space, you can create an environment that’s both beautiful and safe, allowing you and your family to enjoy the outdoors with peace of mind.

Don’t forget to consider the unique Brisbane climate when making your decision, as the right choice will help you enjoy your outdoor area for years to come.

Durable and Safe Flooring Solutions for High-Traffic and Outdoor Spaces

When selecting flooring, durability and safety are top priorities, especially for high-traffic areas and outdoor spaces. High traffic area flooring solutions must withstand constant foot traffic while maintaining their aesthetic appeal. Similarly, non-slip outdoor flooring tiles ensure safety in areas exposed to weather conditions, reducing the risk of slips and falls. Finding the right balance between durability, functionality, and style is essential for any flooring project.

Choosing the Best Flooring for High-Traffic Areas

High-traffic spaces, such as commercial buildings, retail stores, and public spaces, require flooring that can handle constant use without showing signs of wear. The ideal flooring should be resistant to scratches, stains, and heavy impact. Some of the most reliable options include:

Porcelain Tiles – Known for their strength and low maintenance, porcelain tiles are a top choice for commercial and residential high-traffic areas. They resist moisture, stains, and heavy foot traffic while offering various design options.

Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) – LVT provides the look of natural materials like wood or stone while being highly durable and water-resistant. It is an excellent choice for offices, shopping malls, and restaurants.

Epoxy Flooring – Commonly used in industrial settings, epoxy flooring is incredibly tough and resistant to chemicals, making it ideal for warehouses and factories.

Concrete Flooring – Polished concrete offers exceptional durability and a sleek, modern look. It is often used in showrooms, offices, and public spaces.

The key to maintaining high-traffic flooring is proper installation and regular maintenance. Investing in quality materials ensures long-lasting performance, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Importance of Non-Slip Outdoor Flooring

Outdoor spaces, such as patios, pool decks, and walkways, require flooring that enhances safety and aesthetics. Slippery surfaces can become hazardous, especially in wet conditions. Non-slip outdoor flooring tiles help prevent accidents and provide better traction in outdoor environments.

Best Non-Slip Outdoor Flooring Options

Textured Porcelain Tiles – Designed with slip-resistant surfaces, these tiles offer a stylish yet practical solution for patios and pool areas.

Rubber Pavers – These are impact-absorbing and slip-resistant, making them ideal for playgrounds and fitness areas.

Natural Stone Pavers – Materials like slate and travertine provide a natural, non-slip surface while enhancing the outdoor aesthetic.

Decking Tiles with Grip – Composite or wood decking tiles with anti-slip coatings are excellent for balconies and terraces.

When choosing outdoor flooring, considering factors such as climate, exposure to moisture, and maintenance requirements is essential. Proper installation and sealing can extend the lifespan of the flooring while maintaining its slip-resistant properties.

Enhancing Spaces with Durable and Safe Flooring

Whether upgrading commercial spaces or outdoor areas, the right flooring solutions play a significant role in functionality and aesthetics. By selecting high-quality materials, property owners can create long-lasting, visually appealing spaces that meet safety standards.

For those looking for reliable options, All Tile & Stone provides a wide range of high-traffic and outdoor flooring solutions tailored to various needs. With an extensive collection of durable tiles and flooring materials, customers can find the perfect match for their projects.
