#Red Magic 6 Pro Price

[patrollingboston]

Hiya! Could you write a fic where we have to share a bed with Price?

Much love ❤️

An awkward conversation // Price x reader fluff

guilty pleasure one bed trope, this is not meant to be realistic!

After completing gruelling week on a mission, You, Gaz, Soap and Price were headed back to the pickup location to take you all back to base. The conversations being shared were short and snappy due to everyone’s exhaustion. Gaz was fast asleep snoring like bear and it was driving you insane. Soap had earphones in as Captain Price drove along the long stretch of road ahead whilst you were directing him from the passenger seat.

A loud crackle buzzed through everyone’s radio; Gaz snapped awake as everyone focussed on the voice on the other end of the radio.

“Bravo 0-6?”

“Price, you there?”

“What is it Laswell?”

Price held down the button on his radio whilst his eyes remained focused on the road ahead. He drove with one hand on the steering wheel occasionally looking over at you. Everyone’s curiosity was peaked as the mission was over, why would Laswell need to contact them now?

“Nikolai has a problem with exfil, his helicopter has needed some uh, um emergency maintenance. We can’t fly you back to base until tomorrow morning, can you all find a motel nearby just to rest up for a night?”

“Oh, fucking hell- “

Gaz groaned, Soap joining him. You flopped your head back against the headrest in protest. Everyone just wanted to go home, sleep in their own beds, eat normal warm food and be alone.

“Is there no other option? I think we all just want to be back ASAP Laswell.”

“Fraid’ not, earliest we can get to you is 8am tomorrow.”

“Alright, we will sort something out.”

Price said taking his hand off the steering wheel for a second to rub his temples, you glanced over noticing how tired his eyes looked. Everyone’s did.

With that statement the radio cut off. Everyone’s eyes were on Price as he was magically going be able to solve the issue.

“Well, what’s the plan?”

Soap chimed in, peeking his head round from the back of the car.

“There’s a cheap motel not too far, look we aren’t going to be there long. It’s already late, it’s just to clean up and get some rest. I know it’s not ideal.”

“I’m sure we can survive one more night, at least it will be warm?”

You spoke, trying to lift the mood of your fellow soldiers only to be met by awkward silence.

Price tapped on his phone to get directions to the motel. He was right about needing to clean up. Everyone was in their gear, dirt and mud were splashed over everyone’s clothes and face.

“I miss real food.”

Gaz said, Soap nodded in agreement as he began bumbling on about a restaurant near his house.

10 minutes later the car pulled up into the carpark for the motel. There wasn’t much to say about it, it didn’t look too bad from the outside but in your current state of tiredness you would sleep in a bed made of cardboard.

“Gaz, Soap go get us rooms, we will unload the car.”

Price ordered, Gaz and Soap split off entering the reception as you and him began lugging in everyone’s duffel bags. It was quite sparse, a few potted plants and a strikingly red carpet that frankly was hurting your weary eyes.

“Cap? They only have 2 rooms.”

You placed the bag down you were carrying and peered over to soap who was stood speaking to the receptionist.

Price sighed so loudly you could hear it from across the room.

“Well, we can go two and two, or we can take a chance on the other motel, think it was about 20 minutes away.”

You stepped over the pile of bags to join the conversation.

“I don’t mind sharing, please I just want to shower and lie down.”

You said rubbing your eyes, smearing the warpaint from earlier.

“Who goes with who?”

You suddenly felt everyone’s gaze on you.

“You pick F/N you’re the only woman here.”

“Why do you say that like it’s a bad thing?”

You teased as you watched Gaz’s face drop.

“No that’s not what I meant, c’mon.”

You weighed the pros and cons of each person in your head, quickly ruling out soap for how often he liked to flirt with people, that could never end well. Gaz was an option? But you recently discovered he snores and you needed sleep. That only left Price, your captain. You didn’t mind him, in fact over time you had grown quite fond of him despite his grumpy attitude and hat collection.

“I’ll go with Price.”

Price’s eyes widened ever so subtly; it seemed like he was taken back you chose him. His face quickly returned back to normal but you still managed to see the change in it.

A few moments later you stood outside in the hallway shoulder to shoulder with price as he wrestled with the dodgy room key.

“Sonofa- got it.”

He said before cracking a little smile and barging the door open.

You stepped inside looking at the (one again bright red) carpet laden with cigarette burns, you shrugged the bags onto the floor before going into the rest of the room and standing beside price who looked to be in deep in thought. You followed his gaze to find it.

One bed.

One bed that looks like it was made of concrete, with white ruffled sheets and 2 sad pillows.

Your stomach sunk, you had read about this in books and seen it in films and now it was happening to you.

You gulped loudly, praying Price didn’t sense your hesitation.

“I’ll sleep on the floor- “

He said sharply, it caught you off guard. What do you do now? Do you object? Do you share the bed? Do you let him stay on the floor?

“No, I know you’re just as tired as me, I don’t care, please.”

You said gesturing to the bed. He turned around and gave you a kind smile before he sat on the end and started removing his boots.

“I’m going to hop in the shower.”

He nodded as you stepped into the backroom locking the door behind you. That shower might have been the most heavenly experience of your life. Washing away weeks build-up of dirt on yourself. The warm water flowed down your back; you could have stayed in there forever. You stepped out wrapping the white towel around yourself as you reached for your bag. You searched through it trying to find something you could comfortably sleep in. Most stuff in there needed a wash as it was covered in dirt or sweat. You cursed under your breathe as you unlocked the bathroom door and peeked your head out.

“Hey Price?”

He was sat on the bed with his arms folded across his chest, intently watching the little crappy tv.

“Mhm?”

He said his gaze finding you, you could have sworn his eyes faltered and fell up and down you. Pushing back down the blush creeping up your cheeks you responded.

“Do you have anything I could sleep in? My stuff is all uh in need of a wash.”

“Oh, um let me look.”

He hopped off the bed and bent over to rummage around in his backpack before throwing you a khaki green shirt.

“That work?”

“Cheers.”

You closed the bathroom door again before changing into the shirt. It hung below your knees like a nightgown. It was so comfy compared to the mountains of gear you had been wearing for the previous week. It smelt like him too, it was comforting.

You walked into the room; Price had changed now. He was wearing a tight-fitting grey shirt and some baggy shorts. You had never seen him this casual, it was weird but you also liked it however you couldn’t deny how good he looked in his gear too but you would never let anyone know you thought this.

You peered over at the clock.

1:23

Price was just beginning to pull back the duvet on the left side of the bed. Would it be awkward if you did the same? God, it felt like watching an awkwardly married couple get into bed. You both climbed into the bed, the space between you was almost amusing, it was clear you were both trying to avoid one another.

“Night F/N.”

He grumbled, shuffling around to get comfy.

“Night!”

You chirped back, your voice slightly breaking in doing so.

The both of you were so tired you fell straight asleep.

 You woke up to some movement beside you in the early hours of the morning. Your eyes fluttered trying to gather your surroundings only to find yourself wrapped in someone’s arms. Realizing whose arms, it was you were torn on what to do. You decided to stay still, letting yourself take in the warmth. You lay there comfortably, his breathe tickling the top of your head as you fell asleep trying not to think about the awkward conversation this would lead to next morning.

GBPUSD Breakout Trading: Little-Known Secrets for Big Gains Breakout trading in the GBPUSD pair isn’t just another Forex strategy; it’s a gateway to uncovering hidden market opportunities. Whether you’re a seasoned trader or still figuring out the difference between a pip and a pivot, this article will take you behind the curtain to reveal advanced tactics, insider insights, and proven strategies. Let’s break out of the norm and dive into the world of GBPUSD breakout trading. The GBPUSD: More Than Just a Currency Pair Commonly dubbed "Cable," the GBPUSD pair has a history as rich as its volatility. Why does this matter for breakout traders? Simple: volatility equals opportunity. With an average daily trading range often exceeding 100 pips, the GBPUSD offers breakout traders plenty of chances to capture profits—if they know where to look. Breakouts Explained: Don’t Just Follow the Crowd A breakout occurs when the price moves beyond a significant level of support or resistance. While it’s tempting to jump on every breakout, here’s a reality check: not all breakouts are created equal. Insider Tip: The real magic lies in distinguishing between real breakouts and fakeouts (false breakouts). Think of fakeouts like that overly enthusiastic salesperson promising the world but delivering nothing. Don’t get duped; we’ll show you how to avoid them. Ninja Tactics for Spotting High-Probability Breakouts 1. Volume Confirmation A genuine breakout often comes with a surge in trading volume. Low volume? That’s a red flag. High volume? Now we’re talking. Use tools like the Volume Indicator or On-Balance Volume (OBV) to confirm whether the breakout has substance. 2. Wait for the Retest Patience is your best friend. After a breakout, the price frequently retests the broken level before continuing its move. Waiting for this retest can save you from entering a trade destined to fail. 3. Look for Confluence Combine multiple technical indicators for added confirmation. For example: - Use Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential support or resistance. - Pair these levels with candlestick patterns (like bullish engulfing or hammer candles). - Add the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to detect overbought or oversold conditions. Example: Suppose GBPUSD breaks above 1.2600 (a significant resistance level) with high volume and aligns with an upward trendline and bullish RSI. That’s your signal to pounce. Why Most Traders Get Faked Out Fakeouts happen when the price breaches a level but quickly reverses. Here’s why they occur: - Market Manipulation: Institutional players (think hedge funds and banks) often trigger stop-loss orders by creating false breakouts. - Weak Volume: Without significant trading activity, breakouts lack the momentum needed for follow-through. Pro Tip: Place your stop-loss below the retest level, not directly under the breakout point. This small adjustment can be the difference between a win and a wipeout. Hidden Patterns That Drive GBPUSD Breakouts The Asian Session Setup The GBPUSD often consolidates during the Asian trading session, creating tight ranges that act as springboards for breakouts during the London session. Monitor the price action between 12 AM and 6 AM GMT to identify potential breakout zones. The News Catalyst GBPUSD is particularly sensitive to economic news, such as: - UK’s GDP reports - Bank of England (BoE) interest rate decisions - US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) Use an economic calendar to track high-impact events, and be ready to strike when the market reacts. Breakout Trading Checklist: The Foolproof Approach Follow these steps to execute breakout trades like a pro: - Identify Key Levels: Use daily or 4-hour charts to mark support and resistance levels. - Wait for Confirmation: Use volume indicators or wait for the retest. - Set Your Entry: Enter the trade after confirmation, not during the breakout. - Use Risk Management: Risk no more than 2% of your trading capital per trade. - Define Your Targets: Use tools like Fibonacci extensions or ATR (Average True Range) to set realistic profit targets. - Adjust Stops Dynamically: Move your stop-loss to breakeven once the trade is in profit. Real-World Example: A GBPUSD Breakout Success Story Imagine the GBPUSD is trading in a tight range between 1.2450 and 1.2500. During the London session, the price breaks above 1.2500 with high volume. You wait for the retest, which holds at 1.2500, confirming the breakout. Using confluence from the RSI and Fibonacci levels, you enter a long trade. Within hours, the pair surges to 1.2600, netting you 100 pips. Not bad for a day’s work. Final Thoughts: Master the Art of GBPUSD Breakout Trading Breakout trading isn’t just about jumping on price movements; it’s about understanding the dynamics behind them. By focusing on volume, retests, and confluence, you can significantly improve your success rate. Remember, the GBPUSD is a goldmine for breakout traders—if you know where to dig.

Essentials Every Makeup Kit Should Have

Your makeup kit is your magical toolbox—the ultimate treasure chest to help you express yourself, enhance your features, and glow with confidence. Whether you're a beginner assembling your first collection or a seasoned beauty enthusiast refreshing your stash, having the right makeup products is key to slaying your look every day.

Let's dive into the must-haves for every makeup kit for women, ensuring you're prepared for any occasion—be it brunch with friends, a romantic dinner, or a Zoom meeting!

1. Primer: The Perfect Canvas

Before anything else, you need a smooth base. A good primer, (one of the most important makeup products) minimizes pores, smooths your skin, and ensures your makeup lasts all day. Try a lightweight, Perfect Match Primer like the ones from Colorbar for that flawless start.

Pro Tip: Primers also help keep oily skin in check—bonus!

2. Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer: For That Glow-Up

A good foundation is like the fairy godmother of your makeup kit set. It evens out your skin tone and creates a radiant canvas. For a natural finish, try Colorbar’s Crystal Glow Hybrid Foundation with SPF—it’s light, moisturizing, and perfect for everyday use.

Budget Hack: Explore beauty products websites like Colorbar for deals and check the makeup kit price to snag the best value for your budget.

3. Concealer: The Little Secret Weapon

Concealer is a lifesaver for dark circles, blemishes, or any unexpected skin surprises. Opt for a 24 Hrs Wear Concealer Pot that blends seamlessly and matches your foundation for a natural look.

4. Compact Powder or Setting Powder: Lock It In

No one likes a shiny T-zone! Keep your makeup in place and your face shine-free with a good setting powder or compact. Choose a product with a matte finish for oily skin or one with a subtle glow for dry skin.

5. Eyeshadow Palette: Add a Pop of Color

A versatile eyeshadow palette is a must. Look for a mix of neutral shades for daytime glam and bold hues for party nights. Eyeshadow palettes by top cosmetic brands like Colorbar have everything from soft pinks to sultry smokey tones—so chic!

Quick Tip: Use your shimmer shades as a highlighter for your cheekbones for extra glow!

6. Eyeliner and Mascara: Drama for the Eyes

Cat-eye, smokey, or a simple line—eyeliners let you create a variety of looks. Pair it with volumizing mascara to make your lashes pop. Check out Colorbar's eyeliner collection for smudge-proof options that last all day.

7. Blush and Highlighter: For That Radiant Glow

A blush can brighten up your look instantly, while a highlighter adds that lit-from-within glow. Stick to shades that complement your skin tone—think soft pinks or peaches for lighter skin and warm corals for deeper tones.

8. Lipstick: The Showstopper

A girl can never have too many lipsticks! From bold reds to subtle nudes, ensure your makeup kit for women has a variety of shades. Colorbar’s creamy and matte lipsticks offer both comfort and color. They also have budget-friendly options that’ll make you want to buy one in every shade!

Trending Now: Try peachy nudes or coffee-colored lipsticks for an effortlessly chic vibe.

9. Makeup Brushes: The Tools of the Trade

Even the best products need good tools. A basic set of makeup brushes—including a foundation brush, eyeshadow blender, and blush brush—makes all the difference. Alternatively, invest in a beauty blender for that airbrushed finish.

10. Makeup Remover: For a Clean Slate

Don’t forget the golden rule—never sleep with your makeup on! Add a gentle yet effective makeup remover to your makeup kit to keep your skin healthy and glowing.

Where to Find Your Perfect Makeup Kit

Now that you know what to stock up on, head to Colorbar Cosmetics. Their curated makeup kit sets and individual products make it easy to find high-quality essentials without breaking the bank. Plus, you can filter by makeup kit price to stick to your budget while indulging in premium products.

Conclusion

A well-rounded makeup kit for women isn’t just about owning the best brands—it’s about picking products that suit your style, skin, and budget. With these essentials by Colorbar, your makeup kit will have you ready to slay any occasion.

So, what are you waiting for? Start building your dream makeup kit today—because life’s too short for bad makeup!

Makeup for Magick/Ritual p3: Beltane

We made it to Beltane, you guys! We did it! Is this actually going to go up in time without my computer freaking out? Only time will tell. And no, I didn't get a better phone.

.

.

.

I stole my sisters. ANYWAY!!!

It's the last of the three fertility sabbats (along with Imbolc and Ostara). And that's fertility in all its forms, by the way, not just the baby-making kind. You need fertile soil to for just about any kind of plant to grow, after all. The main colors that I, personally, associate with Beltane are bright/summery reds, lush greens, and… white. All colors of fertility, growth, passion, shmex… as you do. However! The entire rainbow spectrum is fair game. Think of all the colorful flowers, plants, and trees and stuff. For instance, just looking out my widow from where I'm typing this, you got the green of the new leaves on the tree, the reddish-orange color of the little helicopter seed fellas hanging from it, and little yellow, almost white, flowers on the bush in the neighbor's yard.

Any of the more nude palettes from Ostara are still in play. And DAMMIT! The picture's cut off at the edges. Because of course it is, why wouldn't it be? *groan* Whatever, let's get into Colourpop.

Top: Strawberry Shake, Main Squeeze, Orange You Glad?, Uh Huh Honey

Middle: Just My Luck, Blue Moon, It's My Pleasure, Oh La La

Bottom: Yes, Please!

If the red/green thing is what you wanna go for, grab the Just My Luck palette and either Strawberry Shake or Main Squeeze and you're good. And of course, as the rainbow spectrum goes, there it is. Hell, if you have the Fade into Hue palette, just grab that. I don't have it because, though the eyeshadow formula is decent for the price, there are pressed glitters in the palette. And unlike the BH eyeshadow formula, I don't think the CP formula is good enough to make up for the handful of arts-and-crafts-herpes shades you have to deal with in this palette.

Yes, Please! is here because Beltane is also a fire festival and this a cute and cheap fiery palette.

On to Give Me Glow!

Top: Summer Vibes, Extra Spicy

Bottom: Vintage Rose,Vivid Rose

Where there is the CP Yes, Please! Palette, there is the Give Me Glow Extra Spicy palette. Unfortunately, she's no longer available, but it's a great pick for this fire festival if you have it.

Kindly excuse the busted pans in my Summer Vibes palette, but a good chunk of these shades could work for Beltane. You can take it fiery or flowery, depending on what you're going for.

And if you want to look like a stereotypical flower fairy (and I mean that in the best possible way), the sister Rose palettes are the palettes to grab.

Now let's get the single-palettes out of the way.

Tarte's Tartelette Toasted palette is another one of those fire festival palettes, except more of a warm toned nude version of one as opposed to the bright fiery colors of Yes, Please! and Extra Spicy.

The Too Faced Life's a Festival palette is just full of great brights and those fun duochromes. Definitely the time to pull it out if you have it.

And then there's the ABH Modern Renaissance palette. This palette will give you serious vintage flower fairy vibes, and was the first time I got said vibe while using a palette. Okay,technically that was when I used the Makeup Revolution dupe palette, but that formula was utter trash.

And as for the ABH sub-brand, Norvina…

We got two. The Pro Pigment Palette Vol. 3, and the Pro Pigment Mini Palette Vol. 3.

The Mini's cherry reds, green and pinks and beautiful, and that white has a cherry red duochrome to it. Ignore the pressed glitter in the middle of the top row, the shades are pretty enough not to.

The larger Vol. 3 has some nice bright greens, reds, etc. that makes it great for the lushness of Beltane, even though it's meant to be a fall palette. Which it's also great for, but we'll get to that in a future post.

Now for BH Cosmetics!

Top: Trendy in Tokyo, Chillin' in Chicago

Bottom: Mimosa

Trendy in Tokyo is the typical rainbow palette, except the shimmers are more satin than metallic, so not my favorite of their Travel palettes.

Chillin' in Chicago would make a pretty good fire festival palette, and lays in between Tartelette Toasted and Extra Spicy/Yes, Please!. It's not as nude as Toasted but not as bright as the two others.

Mimosa's pinks with orange and yellow pops could give you a bright, flowery look.

And now the last of the palettes, Juvia's Place!

Left Column (Top to Bottom): The Masquerade Mini, The Magic Mini

Middle Column (Top to Bottom): The Zulu, The Festival,The Sweet Pinks

Right Column (Top to Bottom): The Warrior III, The Chocolates, The Violets

The Masquerade Mini's top two colorful rows are what you're reaching for if you want to do a fully colorful Beltane look, but can be paired with the bottom nudes if all you want (or can do because work or whatever) is a little pop of color. For The Magic Mini, you're looking at the top two rows, which are the warmer rows, and the purple duochrome (Faso) and the green (Buzo) in the bottom, cooler toned rows.

Both The Zulu and The Warrior III are beautiful colorful palettes. In Warrior III, I'd stick with the top six mattes. That green and red are beautiful, and that pink is almost neon in real life. The entire Zulu palette is good for brighter plant/flower looks. And that pink/gold duochrome in the bottom left corner? So beautiful.

In The Festival palette, I'd say all the shades except the metallic black, the deeper metallic teal, and the matte mustard gold. The red, pink and oranges are so beautiful and rich, guys! And that metallic white and gold? *chef kiss* But, guess what palette is getting pulled out for Samhain. X3!

The Chocolates, Violets and Sweet Pinks are basically companion palettes. The Chocolates have some "rich, fertile soil" vibes if you want to bring that into the look, while The Violets are fairly floral and The Sweet Pinks are more bright pops with a more floral matte and shimmer shade (top right, bottom left). The two pinky floral shades could actually be cute with the Violets, now that I think about it.

And finally, the singles! A few days ago, my first Terra Moons singles order arrived, but since I haven't really got to play with them much they won't be included in this one. Though they, as well as my first order of singles from Looxi beauty, will probably start showing up in my next post. Okay, Shroud singles first!

Top: Enigma, Azura, Vigor, Ignite, Vigil

Bottom: Oracle, Pillow Talk, Scrumptious, Magnetism, Soulstone

Pillow Talk, Scrumptious and Magnetism aren't pressed glitters, but definitely act and remove like they are. So, if you pick these up when Shroud reopens, keep that in mind.

Enigma (purple with a blue shift)

Azura (teal blue with a green shift)

Vigor (bright lemon-lime soda green)

Ignite (fiery copper)

Vigil (yellow-gold)

Oracle (champagne gold)

Pillow Talk (deep purple with a gold shift)

Scrumptious (coral red with a gold shift)

Magnetism (aqua green with a gold shift)

Soulstone (magenta)

And finishing off, Give Me Glow singles!

Column 1

My Sunshine (pale sunny yellow metallic)

Lucky Charm (light yellow metallic)

Lemon Lime (electric green with shifts of banana yellow)

Limeade (lime green)

Column 2

Peach Glaze (pale icy peach)

You're Cheesy (Mac n Cheese orange)

Havana (deep coral metallic)

Low Battery (neutral-toned, medium-dark red)

Column 3

Pink Frosting (icy bubble gum pink)

Heartbreaker (electric hot pink)

West Coast (deep vivid coral)

Floral Coral (peachy-pink coral)

Column 4

Strawberry Lollipop (reddish pink)

Pink Lemonade (pink base with electric gold a baby blue shifts)

Icicle (icy white)

Marshmallow (pure white)

Column 5

Pretty Little Lilac (icy lavender)

Electric Purple (neon pastel purple)

Bubbles (true icy blue)

Sky High (bright sky blue)

Column 6

Toxic (deep neon purple)

Purple Hills (a pure deep electric purple)

Under the Sea (deep sea blue)

Starboy (deep cobalt blue)

And we've reached the end of the Beltane post! Fun fact, the Beltane crossquarter day is on May 4th so, still relevant right? Yes? No? Maybe so? The fact that I was able to get this done by Beltane is a miracle in and of itself. Use these as color story inspiration for your own looks, maybe repost with palettes/singles you've found in your own stash, and I'll see you in the next one!

This year there are actually three different models in the lineup: the Asus ROG Phone 5, the ROG Phone 5 Pro, and the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate. All three share the same front screen and shoulder buttons (Air Triggers 5), with minor spec boosts as you move up the ladder. The design of the back is also different, with an extra screen and two additional touch sensors on the back of the Pro and Ultimate models.

As you can see this phone has an of 144Hz which is the second-highest available in the market but to be honest, this is more than enough, it is even full Hd+. It consists of snapdragon 888 which is a beast, there is not a single game you are gonna have trouble with. and an outstanding battery of 6000mAh. now you know why this is the no.1 pick.

The star of the show here is the OnePlus 9 Pro’s 6.7-inch AMOLED display, which can hit a QHD resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate (which is variable this time around) all at once. That’s not unusual any longer, and of course, some gaming phones have been able to hit 144Hz for a while now. But it looks and handles beautifully.

You also get a decent set of stereo speakers, and the haptics on this phone are truly excellent – two features that have a positive impact on gaming.

Both wired and wireless charging are extremely fast here, with a 65W power brick in the box. You can also buy a special 50W wireless charger separately, which is faster than the wired speeds of most other phones.

All three Galaxy S21 models offer top-of-the-line specs, including adaptive 120Hz AMOLED displays, Snapdragon 888 (or Exynos 2100) processors, and excellent battery life.

It isn’t just about the hardware, either. All three models offer Samsung’s Game Launcher and Game Tools options, allowing you to tweak performance in individual games. The Game Tools suite also lets you easily adjust resolution, take screenshots, record videos, and more.

Samsung Galaxy S21 series is a true powerhouse, it’s got everything a gamer needs. It’s a bit on the expensive side but the features kind of make up for it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series

Samsung’s Galaxy Note smartphones have always been among the most ultra-premium phones on the market, so it should come as no surprise that the latest Galaxy Note 20 series are some of the best gaming phones available.

$830

GET ON AMAZON

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the obvious choice for gamers. It sports a huge 6.9-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 12GB of RAM. The cameras on this model are also top of the line, with a triple camera setup led by a wide-angle 108MP sensor.

The regular Galaxy Note 20 is no slouch, either. Both phones have the Snapdragon 865 Plus processors (or Exynos 990, but you should avoid this model if possible) and, of course, the ever-popular S-pen accessory. You also get all of the standard premium trappings like an IP68 rating and wireless charging, although the less expensive Note 20 is made of a somewhat controversial plastic material instead of glass.

$585

Ohh.. this one has packed a quiet package for its price. It’s one of the best gaming phones on this list.

It has the latest Snapdragon 888 processor, up to 16GB of RAM, active cooling, shoulder triggers, and a blazing fast 165Hz AMOLED display. That display is only FHD+, but it’s still the fastest refresh rate we’ve ever seen on a phone.

The real kicker is that it costs less than half the sticker price of some of its brand-name competitors. It’s just a hair more expensive than many upper-midrange phones, with specs that punch well above that. You don’t get the same commitment to updates or camera performance, but for pure gaming, it’s a killer device.

⛄️ CHRISTMAS DAY 3 ⛄️ katsuki x neutral!reader | scenting candles

katsuki bakugou x reader

gender neutral

Katsuki has enough of you smelling every scenting candle you can find in shops.

no warning

''(Y/N) ! We don't have time, hurry up !'' Katsuki growled, waiting for you to be done. ''I'm sorry, I really can't help it...'' you said, smelling the scenting candles left as fast as you could. ''Oh, that one smelt great.'' You said. ''(Y/N) !'' You hurried up, walking to your boyfriend now that you had managed to make him mad. Usually, when you guys had some time, he would actually let you smell everything. You didn't know why you had to do it, but it was a tic, you had to. But whenever you had to be quick, it was annoying him -you couldn't blame him, though.

''I know there are new candles everywhere because of Christmas, but we're already late enough.'' Katsuki said, as an apology. He knew you couldn't help it and deep down, he thought it was one of the cutest tic he had ever seen. Actually, he loved that so much that he had started to take notes of which scent you liked the best. You were living together, so you restrained yourself from buying every candle you loved. However, you were allowed to have 1 or 2 for your living room and your bedroom ; Katsuki didn't mind a nice scent in the 2 rooms he was in the most. Thus, he knew that you liked jasmine and candied apple scents.

What you didn't know was that he had noticed your favorite scents were the Christmas ones ; maybe because it reminded you of Christmas holidays and because they were well decorated candles. That's why most of the time, when you were smelling every candle you could find and telling him which one smelt great and which one smelt horrible, he was typing it on his phone.

You thought he was texting someone whenever you caught him typing, so you never suspected him to have a whole ass file about your favorite candles. He had noticed that your favorite smells were candies and fruits but 'they were making you hungry' and that you liked those 'nature' scents. However, you didn't like those that smelt like products you could use in a bathroom. He could tell what you were talking about, but he couldn't really explain exactly what it was -not that he really wanted to talk about it to his friends.

Talking about friends, everyone knew you liked candles. At your birthday, Mina had offered you a 'perfect pumpkin' and a 'vampire blood' candles from a casket. But they didn't know about your tic, except if they had ever gone shopping with you. It's not as if you could find those in any shop -even though they were usually present in interior design stores. And as you hadn't been living with Katsuki for a long time, you guys were still going there quite often ; so he knew those candles were everywhere.

''Yeah, I'm sorry ! I just saw they had some Halloween ones left and they were calling me ! They know they'll be gone in a few days so I had to smell them before they're getting replaced.'' You explained, making your blond boyfriend snort at your statement. ''But you prefer Christmas ones though, don't you ?'' He asked. ''Yeah, they have a lot of candies ! It's weird, because it's mostly at Halloween you're getting candies.'' You explained. ''What are the Halloween scents then ?''

It's not that he really cared himself about the candles ; but you always let him talk about his quirk for hours and listen to him, therefore he could ask you question about candles. ''It smells a bit like alcohol and most of the time they put some pumpkin in it. I don't mind though, it smells great.'' He nodded, now proceeding to checkout.

A few days later, while you were out with Camie and Mina, Katsuki was at the Christmas store that had just open now that Halloween was over. ''Did you keep track of everything ?'' Kirishima asked him, looking for candles. ''I kept notes. We'll be looking for candies first.'' Katsuki ordered his friend, who nodded. It was complicated not to look at every Christmas decoration ; your boyfriend knew you would adore that store ! Everything was Christmas ! Music everywhere ! A Christmas village ! They even had a giant talking reindeer head !

''Here !'' Kirishima shouted, Katsuki focusing on his mission to find some pre-Christmas presents for you. ''Candied apple !'' Kirishima said, smiling. ''No we already have that one in our bedroom.'' The red-haired boy looked at the prices. ''How many do you wanna buy again ?'', ''6 I think ? 1 for each room.'' The blonde replied, looking for nature-like scents for you.

Katsuki had hidden the candles from you ; he was waiting for you to be in the Christmas mood. Actually, you had gone to that Christmas store where he had bought the candles, but he avoided that special alley on purpose. Now that the tree was decorated and the whole house was red and green, he could finally show you what he had bought for you.

He waited for you to go to your parents', and he prepared everything while you were gone. He put a candle in every room ; the entrance, the living room, the kitchen/dining room, your bedroom, the bathroom and even in the room you guys were training. He didn't put any in the toilets, it was already expensive enough ! He had actually lighted them up a hour ago, so by the time you would be home, they would already have spread their scents.

When you came back home, you immediately smelt a nice perfume ; maybe he had cleaned everything, he liked to have a clean house. It didn't smell like a product, but surely he had used something that had a nice scent on purpose. ''Explosion Murder ! You heard me ?'' You asked, now closing the door. You understood he had heard you opening the front door when you saw him walking towards you. ''It smells good ! What is it ?'' He couldn't help but grin. ‘’Look around and guess.’’

That's when you noticed a tiny flame in the corner. You walked to it, and smelt it. ''Oh you bought a new candle, thanks ! It smells like candies, doesn't it ?'' He nodded, smiling at you being that happy only over a stupid candle. You looked at the packaging : 'ribbon candy'. ''Are you sure your quirk isn't the smell ?'' He asked, snorting at how right you were.

On purpose, he had closed every door, so the scents wouldn't mix. Then, he followed you to the living room, after blowing the candle at the entrance. You giggled and you noticed another smell. ''Did you buy candles for every room ?'' He laughed at how you had guessed already. ''Maybe.'' You laughed as well and walked to the candle : 'magical frosted forest'. You hopped to the dining room, excited to see what was the next scent.

''Oh that one makes me hungry ! That's why you chose the dining room, right ?'' Katsuki nodded. You blew the candle : 'vintage berries'. Then, you walked to the bathroom. It didn't smell anything like food ; Katsuki really had themes and stuff for the rooms ?! Scenting candles pro ! This one was 'winter garden'.

You noticed there weren't any in the toilets, but you still checked in the training room ; there was one ! 'Pinecone and tassel' this one was a bit particular, but you still liked it. ''Did I already smell all those scents already ? I feel like I remember them.'' Katsuki nodded. ''I know what you like overall. I wasn't sure about this one, but it smelt like nature. I thought it would fit in that room.'' You giggled, hugging him. ''Is the best one in the bedroom ?'' He chuckled. ''Yeah. I prefer the one from the living room though.''

You ran to your bedroom. ''Oh I recognize this one !'' You said ; this one was actually a scent you were smelling quite often. '''Cranberry peppermint' oh yeah I remember !'' You smiled at Katsuki. ''Are you happy ?'' He asked, a grin on his face. You kissed him, giggling. ''Yeah ! Thank you so much ! It smells so great !'' He snorted. ''You know that I actually took notes of your favorite scents and stuff on purpose ? It was hell with Kirishima to choose those ! There were so many scents !'' He explained.

''Were did you buy those ?'' You asked, confused. ''At the Christmas store. I avoided the candles alley on purpose.'' He laughed when you gasped. ''I promise I won’t light them up everyday.'' You said, and he chuckled. ''Thanks. You won't have to buy candles for at least 1 year !'' You gasped, chuckling right after. ''Are you joking ? It's maybe for 6 months maximum !'' His eyes widened. ''Bitch we've got 6 of them ! 6 ! Plus those 2 we still have from before !'' Then you guys started to play fighting because of those awesome pre-Christmas presents.

@babybakuu wanted me to tag her so here it is !

 As a daily recommended dosage, 2 pills of the Quietum Plus supplement are to be taken with water. It is advised to do so in the morning so one can experience the outcomes through the day. However, one must keep in mind that the Quietum Plus pills are not

Following the victory over The Traveling Gentlefolk and the celebration of the evening, the Cultbusters had come together to the home of one, Nelatha, where Amelia Zephyrine made her choice to remain in Crystalgate, having achieved personal goals that she had aspired to get done. After a seemingly unanamous acceptance of this decision, Luctan revealed to Nel and Malak his true appearance, after a long time of hiding.

With the intense fight, celebrations and revelations having come and gone, the party prepare for the next step of their journey and whatever life has in store for them onward in...

Seon Adventures Episode 29: STONKS AND SHARES!!!

It is the day after the tournament and each of the Cultbusters find themselves on a journey of preparations, conscious and subconscious of what’s to come.

First up, Mournimar Da’Vir~!

The Tiefling Ranger, accompanied by his trusty Dire Wolf, Morgan Da’Vir, headed off to a familiar face for a familiar ask. Specifically, the horned naturalist went to Delemmak and ordered himself a new armor and melee weapon, while Delemmak’s half-orc apprentice worked the forge, under the scruffy elven man’s instructions.

After some measuring and fitting, he was left with certain options. Mythril like chainmail in one category and a special studded leather armor with fuzed in metalic paddings. Mournimar would take the latter, for a combined 600gp, for base price of 400 and improvement price of 200 gp.

As for a weapon, the madlad, who once bought a nail bat from Delemmak wound up with the option of a magical blade. A rapier of sorts, with Elven writing on one side. Thanks to his knowledge of Elven, due to his herritage, he is able to discern the lyrics to “All Star” by Smashmouth.

Elven, turly a beautiful and magical language.

Following the purchase of this 250gp weapon, Mournimar would then find himself, alongside his animal companion, roaming the streets of Crystalgate and walking across the bridge, before taking note of something in the water.

A bottle of sorts. Curious, and much to the confusion and fatigue of an elderly woman that witnesses him do so, he jumps over the edge and lands in the shallow water, taking a closer look at what is revealed to be the bottle that was attached to Luck’s wings, which in turn were attached to that hellish contraption.

Still attached to said wings. Apparently this being where Kit’s disposal of the wings had led to.

Watching from dry land, after a “dramatic” fight with the straps of the contraption, Mournimar would see the wings drift away. 

(Coincidentally, did you know what Luck and the wings’ favorite style of swimming was? Butterfly B))

With this out of the way and opting not to share his findings with Luctan, Mournimar would carry on with the day, until reconvening back with the party in their new mannor.

Luctan’s day goes a biiiit differently, compared to the rest.

Following long pondering after the tournament and a near sleepless night, due to the situation he found himself in with TTG and Amelia’s sister, Sabrina, Luck had made a list of activities to keep his mind off of what was supposed to be a simple vengeance quest.

The streetdumb tiefling in disguise would begin by precuring supplies, tools, materials and work on building something he had never, until recently, thought he’d ever want to make: a shrine. 

Not for any god, but for a worshipper of a god. With hard work and determination, as well as a bit of an imagination, Luctan would construct a shrine to Keemis, for Malak.

He felt it the least he could do, given the work Malak had put up for them. And all their shenanigans until now.

From there he heads to Peppery Pete’s, buying the party a number of potions. Out of habit, he buys five. Each of the Greater Healing Variety. Beyond that, he would get something else, in a glass casing.

The Catharsis Poison. Worth 250gp, A deep red, runny potion. Tastes like bad wine. Upon drinking, the drinker will sweat profusely, followed by intense vomiting, crying, urination, and diarrhea for 3d6 minutes. If the drinker survives, they lose all emotional attachment for 2d4 days.

After much complimenting being thrown Pete’s way, by Luck, the red tiefling would ask his business partner about where he may perhaps percure a tattoo of the magical kind. Given directions, Luctan would find himself at the home/establishment of a tattooist Elf with a floofy beard.

A real pro of 300 years, Luck would essentially be in safe hands, as long as he was good with the gold and tite with the toughness.

For the next 6 hours Luck would have to bite into his black tanktop shirt and grit and, occasionally shed a few tears, as magical golden and purple ink was fused to his chest’s skin.

By the time it’s over, the butterfly-wing esque pattern is infused into his flesh, perfectly and with no diseases! OR sepsis! (DARN!)

Mark of the Elvenkind:

Size:

Medium

Location:

Any

Intricacy:

Average

Power:

Low

This mark imbues its wearer with the benefits of Fey Blood, granting them immunity to magical sleep and advantage on saving throws against being charmed.

Feeling safer from the magical mind control of others, Luctan would pay his tattooist and dress back up. After which he’d continue to the next part of his work:

INVESTMENTS!

Meeting with Delemmak and then Father Eldod, the Dragonborn, Luctan would invest high quantities of gold into each’s respective field. In one way to aid his favorite people in Crystalgate and in another way to make money in town, while the party was away on adventures.

The grattitude in each man was evident as in one case, Luck was helping his colleague and his daughter, Glashta, who’s mother works as an Accountant (Orccountant, if you will). While in the other he was aiding a kindly old Dragonborn, with whom he had made one of the deepest connections two people could make. Personal. Intimate: THE LOVE FOR ARCHITECTURE!!!

And as he’d leave his greatful, tearful friend, Luctan would again make the “Call me” sign with his thumb and pinky.

As day gave way to night, Luck pondered on possibly hiring a butler for the Party’s Mannor. But he wasn’t fully sure on how to handle such a task yet, given that any previous “help” he had working under him did not do so of their own volition...

So put that one in the “LATER” category, as Luck would bring himself, with a package under arm, to Nel and Amelia’s place.

After formalities are out of the way, Luctan presents the package, put together with wrapping paper and rope, purple clumps coming out from a few openings. Amelia would accept said parcel and in turn pass to the tiefling a gift she had been holding onto, herself, for the longest time.

Wrapped in paper, there would be flowers. They’d be dried up, but still put together Gladiolus (Gladioli?). Flowers, famous for often being given to gladiators (hence the name).

The gladiolus flowers symbolize honor and remembrance,as well among many a other qualities: Strength of character, faithfulness, sincerity and integrity, Infatuation and never giving up. A number of these qualities deemed fitting by the blue Genasi, for the red Tiefling.

In turn, from Luctan’s gift to her, Amelia would become the owner of a purple jacket. Identical to Luck’s jacket, from the early days of their adventures, with the notable put togetherness of the sleeves.

And an item, stuffed in the inner pocket of the jacket: Luck’s Blink Dagger. Still in mint condition, too.

The two talk then. And hug it out and then part ways, promissing to meet again, later on, whenever time allows them.

ALL WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING, THOUGH!

Malak had come earlier to Nel and Amelia’s place, earliest of all.

Welcomed inside, Malak would make an offer of enchanting an item for Amelia, as a farewell present to her. After much searching, she would pick her seashell necklace out and give it for this enchantment.

Using diamond dust and the right incantation, as well as tracing his fingers over the necklace, the Death Cleric would spend a while, infusing a spell into the item. An hour after the casting, Malak would create a Necklace of Sending for Amelia. With a bonus password for personal usage only. Chosen by Amelia, the password is “Alexander”.

Thankful, she in turn would give him a fitting present. Her Keemis necklace, the one with the magical enchantment on it. With a bit of effort, she manages to place it over his head and onto his neck, asking only that he keeps the party safe. Determined to wait for their return.

Malak wishes the two of them a nice life together. A happy life together.

Amelia confides in him her worries. In 25 years of life, she’s never been so close to death and she nearly died twice with them. It’ll shake anyone and gives appreciation. She knew the time to leave was coming. And with the success at the tournament, it was the fitting moment to step back from the spotlight and reasess her life, now that she had Nel, Archie and Sabrina.

Malak takes this into account and Blesses Amelia, as the torch gets properly passed.

With this done, Malak preps himself and his know how to build himself a shrine to Keemis! Preferably in the garden! So he walks on back to the house. And following a note, he finds Luctan’s gift for him there, as it is.

(Much laugh is had ooc.)

The Cleric would approach and take position in front of the shrine, lighting up a pair of small flames atop the offering plates. One flame black. Another White.  Sick.

Speaking of spotlights and gifts! Belli Narah takes the stage and begins her busy day by Sending a message to Bardy Scott, asking him where he got that Thaumaturgy Stone from! "I bought it from Peppery Pete and you can too!” is the answer she gets in turn.

And to Peppery Pete’s she goes, buying herself a stone for 50gp. Which she narrows down the price of to 45gp, for advertisement purposses.

Words are said.

Jokes are made.

And the intricacies of adventuring life get debated between the two, before Belli parts ways for now and carries onto the Nature’s Bounty cafe.

Where she meets Guinnevere. A bald human woman, with a raven on her shoulder.  Why does she meet her? Because Belli demands to speak to the manager.

Why?

Because she wants to get a membership. Why? As a gift for Amelia, of course! Big money is paid as Belli goes all out for the Air Genasi Monk, Getting her a card with  50 visitations free of charge.

The chummy bard goes beyond the gifts, interestingly enough! For she also suggests the addition of a gift shop for customers and passer bys. So into it, she is, that she follows her rich kid instincts and makes...

Investments! She makes an investment in the establishment! STONKZ ARE BEING PUT IN!  100 gold is being placed in the investment... um... corner? Is that where you put investments?!

After gruelling and hilarious (ooc-ly) discussions on Familiar shapes, Belli heads off home, with the rest of the party, where they discuss in what order they are to do their work.

Luctan brings out the potions, handing a Greater Healing for each of the three and quickly realizing half-way into pulling out a forth that there are only 4 of them and thus, he had bought one in exess.

Putting it away, the quartet talk shop, with Luctan (with Mournimar’s aide) elaborating on their adventure in stopping their first cult. And the crystal ball involved. The visions there in and the specifity of Lake Stren in all this.

The four ultimately agree on an order of solving the cases:

Lake Stren > River’s Job Offer >  Lucius Bennett ‘s Offer.

Luck’s personal quest of regaining limbs was to be on wait for now..

As the group carry on conversations on what to do in the meanwhile, before making contact with the clients in the morning, Malak raises the subject of the shrine Luck had made for him in the garden. He would have much preferred to make it himself, as it was his deity and his worship...

But he is ultimately greatful to the tiefling for the work he put in. Luctan sharing that it felt the least he could do for Malak, after the priest’s kindness towards the party.

Then the idea gets brought up for a late night house warming party!

Belli takes to the task quickly and enthusiastically and makes calls to family and friends!

Confirmed guests from the Sending are Sabrina, Ficus, Kit, Pete and Samson. Bob Narah confirms that he’ll get the kids and enough alcohol for a cheeky 50.

All out of slots, the Bard goes old school and heads to the home of Nel and Amelia, becoming the last person of the party (currently) to visit the two that day. She makes with the knocking and is welcomed inside by a pajama’d up Nel, quite surprised with how everyone’s coming in order again and again.

Before the announcement of the party, she hands the fellow half-elf bard a knitted hat that she had made for her, which Nel accepts. With the excitement of that one relative that keeps getting socks for Christmas.

Being pointed to Amelia, Belli elaborates on the evening’s imprompty party (cut back to Luck as he uses some magic to light up candles and stuff with Purple Flames).

Weary of going out at this time, now that she was with Nel, Amelia asks for the level of the party, who else would be there and the like.

“Super casual.” is Belli’s answer as Nel, having heard the word “party”, immediatelly would switch outfits like in a cartoon, magically wearing an evening gown and ready!

“How’d you do that?!” Belli would ask, shocked at the sudden change.

“Showbusiness, Darling!” is Nel’s answer.  Nel is always ready.

Like Luctan and Malak before her, Belli too would then have a heart to heart conversation with Amelia, over the Air Genasi’s departure from the party. Truths are spoken. Amelia feeling herself an outsider in the group, with how the others had bonded. And felt herself unappreciated in the time, having closed herself off to some extent.

The alchohol during the time she traveled with the group was no incident. It was a coping mechanism.

With adventuring done, she had made the decision to cut down on the drinking.

Belli would, in turn,apologize for making Amelia feel unwanted and unapproached. She’d cry, genuine tears of remorse for not being there for her enough.

The two would hug it out then.

Mad respect.

(THERE ARE EMOTIONS! I AM SOBBING LIKE A FUCK AS THEY HUG!)

With Belli handing Amelia the card from Nature’s Bounty, Amelia would deliver a gift in turn to Belli. Flowers for the bard, as well. This time, specifically for Belli, Chrysanthemums.

Parting ways, until the party, Belli would visit one more person to offer them a spot on the guest list:  Doreen. The head of the orphanage. And after some successful chatting, Doreen would join in.

And the party would follow next...

Dodging Death Pt 9 (Hakuno, Caster Gilgamesh)

Previously: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, 7, 8

___

I had to bathe you…

I had to bathe you…

The phrase alone had her mind running haywire. She couldn’t breathe, especially after realizing that she was in his arms and she was having him help her eat. This guy was still just as cuddly as before. He still made small sounds here and there, nuzzling against her neck.

Gods, but she could almost picture the man actually bathing her like a cat.

He was already holding her so close. She could already feel his breath on her neck and shoulders. The nightgown, a gag gift from Rani, was slipping off her shoulders since she had thin lace holding the golden fabric up.

This is too much!

Far too much.

She wasn’t betrothed, she was bewildered.

Telling him anything was impossible at the moment though.

The fact that he was upright and holding her as a man was enough to have her stilled. The fact that the man, whom had just recently been the fluffiest golden feline that she’d ever seen, was telling her that her kiss, which she could faintly remember, was the cause of his being human again was enough to make her head spin.

True love’s kiss.

She looked up at him after another spoonful of the soup, seeing the king pull back enough to meet her gaze.

“You’ve barely eaten.”

Yeah, but Rin couldn’t cook. This soup was lukewarm at best and the ingredients left a bit to be desired. More than that, she wanted to understand what exactly she was in for.

“W-what are you going to do now?”

The soft chuckle did nothing for her.

“What?”

His finger wiped at her cheek, pulling back with some soup residue on it. He pressed that finger to his lips, lapping it off as those red eyes remained focused on hers.

“…I’m too young to marry.”

The man raised a brow.

It was true. She was in her early twenties. That meant she was still in the phase of making bad decisions and roaming around afterwards with her head held high and a handful of sleepless nights to think back on all those poor choices. She was still in that stage of life where she could stay up all night and go out to parties with Cu Chulainn without a second thought.

Responsibility was paying for things and that was already enough of a headache.

Marriage, and to someone like the great king here, was not on the table.

“In my kingdom, you would already be round with your second child,” Gilgamesh told her simply. “I did inform you that I would work slowly though. I will get you comfortable with-“

“I’m too plain.”

The man paused.

“…You’re a king, aren’t you?” Hakuno stared up at him, remembering bits of his speech from before.

“I am. Again, I am King Gilgamesh from Uruk.” He seemed to enjoy introducing himself.

“Shouldn’t you be finding some doe-y eyed, soft-spoken lady who is princess of some far off kingdom? Someone who is so pretty it literally hurts your eyes to look at her?”

That was how fairytales worked.

The king- or rather- the prince because princesses always married princes, would wander out and find the fairest lady of them all. They would safe the woman from danger and the woman would fall blindly and madly in love. She’d shit out some kids and the kids would do the same thing while the princess and the prince would grow old together in some musty castle.

Then again, this was an Uruk king…

Did they have castles in Uruk?

I should have really paid more attention to my books.

She’d gotten distracted by the Ishtar insults. That and the king’s insults to Humbaba.

Speaking of that…

This guy had more wives than all of Fuyuki. What did he need another wife for? Again, her becoming betrothed to him was becoming more and more farfetched.

“Do you think so poorly of yourself then?”

The man tilted her chin up, running his thumb over her lips once more.

She was still transfixed by that gaze.

“I’m not naïve,” she told him, meeting that gaze seriously. “I’m nothing like a goddess or a model. I am passable.”

“Passable.”

“I’m sure you had wives that were also passable. They were nice enough looking, but you wouldn’t seek them out for anything. That’s how I am.”

“That is nonsense.”

“And you have how many wives?” Hakuno shook her head, dispelling his bewitchment of her and standing up. She held the fabric of her nightgown tighter around herself. “I’m not a wife. I’m hardly even human with how much I work. You’ve seen me. Dawn ‘til dusk, always typing at my computer or working or studying. Even when I watch TV, I’m still studying during commercial breaks.”

He reached out, but she took a step further away.

True love or not, that didn’t mean anything.

His hand caught her own.

“Hakuno, sit and speak with me.”

“I can’t.”

She needed to be dressed. She needed to figure out what had happened while she’d been passed out. She’d already slept with this king and that was something that was going to earn her a one way ticket to the doctor’s office for a checkup and a good two minute test.

However, to her surprise, he released her hand and stood up. The bowl that she’d abandoned was pulled into hand before he was walking passed her.

“You’re being stubborn. I will assume that you’re not shamefully hiding from someone that you willingly slept with and shared magic with. You’re better than that. Fate would not chose someone weak at heart to stand at my side.”

“You’d be surprised.”

He threw a look her way.

Those eyes said nothing less than shut up.

“You saved my life.” He kept his voice level, but the tone was clear enough, authoritative enough. “You went out of your way for a creature in this world that you knew nothing about. I could have bitten you and you could have become injured. You could have died yourself. Instead, you put your faith in something and you cared for me. You showed your love to me, holding me to your chest while you slumbered and bringing me into your baths and to your meals to join you.”

She hadn’t known he was human.

“You think that I want some naïve chit that will wilt at the mere sound of my voice, but I have had many of those given to me. I’ve accepted many of those for the sake of treaties and peace. I’ve seen them into the homes of soldiers and nobles as well. They enjoy the comforts of Uruk, pledging their loyalty to Uruk and enjoying the benefits of their decisions.”

They…

That wasn’t something in the history books.

Hakuno found the man moving forward, setting the bowl down nearby. His hands went to her shoulders, wrapping around her to pull her in close to his heat once again.

The very nearness of him was like laying near a fire. And perhaps there was no better description for someone like this man, with ember colored eyes that burned you to the core.

“You, Hakuno,” Gilgamesh told her. “You’re defiant. You are interesting. Plain, of course, but there is something unique to the way you look to another. You show wit when the time calls for it. You show softness at times when I would appreciate it most.”

He slid the straps of her nightgown from her shoulders, holding it up with his hands alone.

“I intend to court you.”

That voice of his didn’t make it a goal or a desire. He said it like the courting was already done, like she would be stripping her body of all its coverings right here and now for his gaze to partake in.

“I intend to make you see what I have come to find in you. When you do ask me to take you again, because I will prove myself to you, you will find that you feel quite like those goddesses and models that you think yourself on uneven level with.”

The nightgown slipped.

His gaze remained on her face.

“Is this your necklace?”

“It is,” he told her.

She reached behind her neck, letting the thing fall to the floor with her nightgown.

“Are you inviting me to touch you or declining my courtship?”

“How expensive was that?”

He shrugged, “Perhaps the price of one of those car collections in the small showings on the television.”

She dove down immediately.

“YOU HAD ME DROP SOMETHING THAT EXPENSIVE?!”

“You chose to drop it, Hakuno!”

She picked it up, checking it and stammering away at an apology. The thing was heavy gold. Thick, heavy gold with jeweled accents here and there; she could almost hear the sounds of appraisers weeping at the sight of her treatment.

And then touching it with her hands.

Gods!

She wrapped it in her nightgown, glaring at him.

“You should have told me!”

He could have not put it on her!

Oh no, but Rin and Cu Chulainn had seen her in it. She must have looked like some bought off rich housewife to them.

She’d be stuck hanging out with Shinji in her classes.

This was it, the end of it all.

The man’s arms wrapped around her, earning another squeak as he touched her sides.

“STOP!”

“What’s wrong?”

“I need to put this in a safe or something!”

“Hmm?”

A certain softness pressed against her neck, a set of short hairs brushing against her skin. With that touch, she could feel chills run through her veins. Another press. Another.

She wasn’t even sure what had happened, but the feel of his lips made her whole body feel lighter. The light fluttering of what felt like wings were in her stomach as a warmth spread in her chest. Over and over, she could feel that rubbing and those fleeting presses of softness. The mewl that left her lips came a moment before she found them both on the floor.

“This… is too expensive,” she breathed, exposing more of her neck as she spoke.

There was a prickling to her eyes. She wanted to just lean in and get more but she wasn’t sure how to do this.

She wasn’t sure if she was even strong enough or wise enough to know how to ask.

“You need more of them,” he murmured. “I want to hear your wrists and your ankles jingle when you walk, Hakuno. That is something more I can give you.”

“I don’t need it.”

“And that makes me want to all the more,” he insisted, his voice becoming more upbeat by the minute. “You will become a great magician by my hand.”

“…I thought you were courting me?”

A soft chuckle came, she could feel him nip at her lightly.

Why did she have to be this affected by him?

“I am, but you can be both. You show great promise by being able to speak Sumerian fluently already. You don’t seem to realize how often you speak it, but your lilt to the tongue suits you.”

She needed ice cream.

The whole bucket. She was going to devour the whole thing and then take the coldest shower known to mankind. She’d freeze away what this warmth was doing to her brain. She wasn’t being foolish enough to turn slightly, looking up at him.

And he wasn’t brushing a hand through her hair, leading her back to lay against the floor.

And she definitely wasn’t pulling him in by the robes he had on, her eyes falling to those lips.

I’m not a romantic.

I don’t even read that kind of cheesy garbage.

“You look like you want me to touch you,” he murmured, brushing his cheek to hers in order to murmur into her ear. “Say that you want me and I will do what your body is asking. Do not tell me that I’m alone in feeling this heat between us.”

He’s too good.

Hakuno found herself holding him there, pressed against her chest. His body was pinning her down. His mouth was doing more of those soft kisses just under her ear. She was sure she was going to have some face burn or something from all of his rubbing.

Her chest would feel good with that…

“Gilgamesh,” she found herself almost moaning.

“You are the most breathtaking woman I have ever seen,” the man dared to tell her.

“Just do it,” she replied.

She held his shoulders as he carried her back to her room. She found herself stretched out across her bed and her hips lifted, that mouth of his with the small start to facial hair rubbing against the space between her legs.

Time failed to mean anything.

She could only perceive time in how many times the man seemed to get her to cry his name with that mouth of his. Words had been sweet, but the way he could devour her was far, far more dangerous to her senses.

He found her mouth when she cried out for him to come to her.

His fingers wreaked havoc then.

She could feel him clean her up later, tenderly moving his mouth along her body as she thought uselessly about holding onto the sheets.

First, she needed to have any energy at all.

He brought a cloth to clean her up with. Wiping her off and murmuring. So much murmuring. His voice was a permanent echo in her head as she lay underneath him.

“You can have this when you please,” he promised.

This was far too good, too perfect for asking to have whenever she wanted. They would never leave this bedroom. They’d never survive more than a week. The two of them would simply stop existing after that.

Even as it were, Hakuno wasn’t sure if she was going to live through this.

Was it all that bad?

She really didn’t need anyone else. She looked after herself well enough and she had her friends in times of need. 

A soft sound met her ears. 

It sounded like a light pounding noise.

Her neighbors must have forgotten their key. 

A louder sound cam now. 

Hakuno opened her eyes, staring up at the ceiling as she felt Gilgamesh stir next to her. He was moving to sit up, frowning as he stared towards her bedroom door. 

In the second few seconds, chaos. 

What sounded like splintering came from outside her room. The sound of glass, most likely from her living room, came next. 

“The door!”

She shifted, aching too much to move much as Gilgamesh leaped out of bed.

“Cover the door! Don’t open-”

The axe that wooshed by Gil’s face was enough to make her blood run cold. She could see him slam the door shut immediately, grabbing the dresser nearby and sliding it into place.

Her phone... 

Looking around, Hakuno all but crawled to where it was.

Hakuno dialed without a second thought. She could hear the operator, rattling out her address as reasonably as she could as she heard the sounds of someone moving through the house. Repeatedly, she shook her head at Gilgamesh.

They needed to stay.

Sirens could be heard. 

Lights flashed outside their room.

Hakuno could hear the sounds of several feet clambering along the outside of the house, moving around before she heard someone bang on the door to her room.

“Police!”

“We’re in here,” Hakuno called. “We’re okay!”

Well-

Gilgamesh opened one of the drawers of the dresser he’d moved, tossing her a shirt and pants. The task of dressing was impossible without him coming over to help her, telling the police they’d be a moment.

Her eyes were on him, but he was moving fast. He didn’t take any time for granted, nor did he bother with trying to allow her to move. 

That, of all things, was clearly pointless. 

There were a series of police outside her bedroom as the dresser was pushed aside and Gilgamesh carried her into the hall. 

She could see sparks coming from the light fixtures, books and items torn and chopped and shattered all over the place. 

In a matter of a few minutes, with them hiding in her room; her entire world had been sliced down to nothing. She had been reduced to an owner of very, very few things. 

Her arms tightened on Gilgamesh.

“We need to leave.”

She couldn’t agree more.
