︙Tressa “Catalyst” Smith x Gn! Reader →

Warnings: nothing, maybe some grammar mistakes ꒱

ʚ (Always wanted to play the guitar)

ʚ She thinks you look amazing, especially if you wear makeup

ʚ You two switch styles… a lot

ʚ While she wears your clothes and your kind of make up, you do the same with hers

“It’s like we’re a whole different person!” You couldn’t keep the excitement cooped up inside you. Even though this isn’t a rare occurrence, you still can’t help but get happy over it. Tressa scoots over next to you to also get a look in the mirror. Her grey eyes scan over her new look; this time you guys wanted to try something a bit different.

ʚ Fashion show

ʚ She would love if you taught her how to play the bass

ʚ Tress definitely knows how to play the piano and does have one laying in a room somewhere- she does show you it and lets you play it too

ʚ Never thought about learning how to play but seeing you play just lights a little lightbulb in her brain

ʚ Please teach her, she’ll be so grateful

ʚ The first time she probably went off playing the instrument without tuning it so it sounded awful

“Ow! Tress, tune that thing first before playing it!” Confused, she looks down, eyeing the instrument gently lying in her hands.

“Oh…”

Lantern Plankton Migration

Nereus x Reader

(Y/n) shot Flora a withering look, not to be combated with Flora’s famous puppy eyes. But (Y/n) held her ground…For ten seconds.

“Fine! I’ll go to the stinking party!” (Y/n) caved, throwing her arms in the air.

Flora cheered, choosing to ignore (Y/n)’s next comment “Who knew that zooplankton migration was Andros’ version of summer solstice…” 

“I’m so glad you're coming! No one else can, other than Aisha. And I’ll get to show you off as the newest member of the winx club!” Flora said excitedly.

“And here I was hoping to have a quiet Saturday after all that Trix nonsense…” (Y/n) said grumbling, but couldn’t help the smile that shone through. “Well, at least it’ll be a fun Saturday with my BFF!” (Y/n) said, jumping into the excitement right along Flora.

“Right?! And I have the perfect outfits for us!” Gushed Flora.

“Oh, is it…?” (Y/n) said, hyping her best friend up. Pointing to a certain set of outfits in Flora’s closet.

“You guessed it! We’re splitting the co-ords!” Flora squeed. 

“YAAS! But I call dibs on using the top.” (Y/n) said, and grinned with mock cunning.

“Aww…so mean.” Flora said with false disappointment.

And that’s how the girls showed up to the party. (Y/n) wore a flutter sleeve tube top with a tropical floral pattern and a pair of white high-waisted shorts. While Flora was rocking a maxi skirt of the same pattern, with a slit to the mid-thigh and a black lettuce edge crop top. Aisha came swayed over to the girls,

“Well, well, don’t you look like a pair of baddies!” She said, hugging both girls. “So glad you guys came.”

Flora gave nothing but a smile, (Y/n) laughing “Like we would miss it! Plus Flora threw those puppy eyes at me… Can’t ever say no to that.”

The girls all laughed at (Y/n)s’ little joke. Aisha turned towards the moon pool in the center of her family's pavilion walking (Y/n) and Flora over to greet her cousins.

“You haven’t met my cousins yet have you (Y/n)?” Asked Aisha as they made their way over.

“Can’t say I have, I was in Linphea College during that whole ocean… fiasco.” (Y/n) said, shrugging. Waving her arms around a bit when mentioning the betrayal of Tritannus.

“Well you’ll get to meet them now!” Aisha said as the girls got to the pool, turning and gesturing to two of the mer-people within the moon pool “Hey guys! I know you know Flora, but we have a brand new member of the winx club! This is (Y/n).” She said, presenting (Y/n) to the merman and mermaid. (Y/n) smiled and gave a little wave. “(Y/n), these are my cousins Tressa, and Nereus!” Aisha said pointing to the mermaid, and merman respectively.

“OH! So you’re fishlips’ brother!” (Y/n) said before she could stop herself. Seeing Nereus and Tressas’ confused glances she continued “Sorry, little nickname I gave him during Flora and I’s talks. So sorry about that whole thing by the way, it must have been devastating for you three. I just wished he didn’t get pushed to that point, ya know?” (Y/n) said a bit melancholy.

Nereus gave a solemn nod in agreement. Her sentiments (and playful insult) instantly endeared (Y/n) to him.

Tressa decided to lighten the mood, “Ah, it’s all in the past now… Come on! the lantern plankton are about to arrive!” She said diving into the moon pool.

Aisha and Flora transforming into their sirenix forms and diving in after her, Nereus hesitated with (Y/n). Waiting patiently to follow after her.

“What’s the matter?” asked Nereus when (Y/n) made no moves to enter the moon pool.

“Would now be a bad time to mention that I don’t have any spells to help me breathe underwater?” (Y/n) said, gesturing towards the pool where her friends disappeared.

Nereus laughed, it was a little funny to see someone so confident get nervous so quickly. 

“Here, stay next to me. I think I’ve got something for that.” Nereus said gently, pulling (Y/n) into the water.

(Y/n) chose not to protest, even though her clothes were getting wet. She was curious to see what the ocean prince would do. Nereus gently placed his arm around (Y/n)'s waist, amazed at her immediate trust in him, wondering aloud.

“You trust quickly,” he said.

“Oh no I don’t! But Flora trusts you.” (Y/n) said her expression turning serious “Which means you're someone worth putting at least a little faith in.” (Y/n) said, instantly returning back to her lighthearted teasing.

Nereus felt his cheeks warm a bit at the statement. He wasn’t sure why, since most people he knew praised his good character. But hearing from (Y/n), who was such a bombastic and friendly person herself, made it feel like guppies were swimming around in his gut. Realizing that (Y/n) had been patiently waiting for him for a bit he hurriedly placed an underwater breathing spell on her. Tucking her to his side and swimming her into the open water. Which made (Y/n) realize something about the spell rather quickly…

“You jerk! Ya could’a told me that the spell keeps you dry!” said (Y/n) playfully, slapping Nereus on the arm.

“Oh, my apologies! I guess I don’t really consider these sorts of things…” Nereus said, cheeks flaming with embarrassment.

(Y/n) couldn’t help but laugh, covering her mouth trying to hide her smile. “Relax, I’m not actually mad. Now come on, take me to this plankton march… thing.” she said,

“The lantern zooplankton migration?” Nereus said, raising a playful quizzical eyebrow. 

He wasn’t used to people talking so relaxed with him, being a crown prince and all. But he was enjoying it. (Y/n) brought out a playful side to him that he hadn’t had since his brother's banishment.

(Y/n) just rolled her eyes with a laugh, allowing Nereus to swim her to the observation area. Meeting up with Aisha, Flora, and Tressa. They talked until the plankton appeared. It was a beautiful sight, it was like glowing living smoke. The colors shifted with the twists and turns of the zooplankton colony. Everyone was quiet with awe, the occasional sounds of wonder murmuring through the crowd at a particular color shift or swirl of the plankton.

Then something amazing happened, while the rest of the spectators with a large swath of the lantern plankton, a small arm of the colony meandered it’s way to (Y/n). Swirling around her (Y/n) reached out to them, playing with the little creatures pushing them to and fro. Nereus gazed at her, smitten. It was like an aquatic halo of multicolored light surrounded (Y/n), highlighting all her glorious features. Nereus could only equate what he was witnessing, to the magnetic beauty of a siren. Her light hearted genuine laughter was music to his ears. Nereus was bewitched by her, body and soul. Only the lantern plankton hurrying back to their migration was what returned him from his stupor. The tail end of the colony disappears into the ocean waters, causing the spectators to return to their homes.

The swim back to the party was a jovial one. Aisha gushed about (Y/n) and the lantern plankton, since it was something that no one had ever seen before. (Y/n) described how wonderful it felt to be amongst such amazing creatures. And it wasn’t until the trio of girls started making their good-byes that Nereus realized he might not see (Y/n) again for quite some time. It was now or never.

(Y/n) heard Nereus call her over, when got closer to him he waved her down to his level. However when (Y/n) leaned down, she felt lips on her cheek and heard a splash.

“Nereus! I’m so gonna get you back for that!”

[sunrise-imagines]

So uh, tucks hair behind my ear, I just read your farmworld Finn pda headcanons and I was wondering if maybe you'd be at all interested in elaborating on that part you wrote about dancing with him? The vibes are immaculate on that and I just adore your writing!

Absolutely! I just added that as a last little bit on a whim but I’m glad you liked it! I’m really proud of this one, hope you enjoy!

Also, I decided to name FW Huntress Wizard “Tressa”, since vampireworld HW is called Huntress and I don’t want the two to get mixed up

TW: Reader is referred to with the term “Mom”, but no gendered pronouns are used

Farmworld Finn x Reader

Slowdancing Together

• A few years ago, while he and Jay had been scavenging the wasteland for valuables, Jay came across a strange device and didn’t know what it was, so he asked his dad to come take a look.

• Finn recognized it as a record player, explaining that they had one in his old family home before it got destroyed, and that it’s used to play music.

• Growing even more interested in the contraption, Jay begged him not to sell it and instead take it home, and after enough pleading he finally said yes.

• The two brought it back and placed it on the kitchen table, the other kids gathering around in awe as they had never seen anything like it before.

• Tressa thought that it wasn’t very useful, but was nonetheless happy to see the kids so excited.

• After trading Choose Bruce for a box of old records, there were a few nights where they would put one on and Tressa and the kids would dance along to the music. They tried to get Finn to join them, but he refused to budge from his seat on the couch, seeing such a pass time as too silly for him.

• It wasn’t until Tressa took his hands and pulled him along with her that he finally got up, shuffling around awkwardly while she took the lead and she showed him the steps. Finally, a small smile graced his features as he looked at his family with joy.

• But it was soon after that his wife died, and thus the record player was shoved in a storage box and forgotten, as it was only one more reminder of what he had lost.

• Fast forward to after you two get together, you’re doing some spring cleaning and sorting through boxes in the attic when you stumble across the old record player.

• You wipe the dust off the top, surprised that the pragmatic Finn would even have something like this.

• After finishing in the attic, you take it downstairs and put it in the living room, asking Finn where it came from.

• He scoffs, saying that Jay had found it a long time ago and they barely ever used it. He promptly tells you to just throw it away, saying, “It’s just a piece of junk, no use in keeping it.”

• You frown at his words, it must have been important to him if he decided to keep it all these years. So instead you decide to set up a little surprise.

• That night, after tucking the kids into bed, Finn comes down the stairs only to be met with the sound of a soft piano melody crackling through the air.

• He enters the room to see that you’ve put on your nicest outfit, styling your hair in a way that frames your features, making you somehow look even more beautiful.

• He asks what you’re doing, and you reply that you wanted to spend a little one-on-one time with him, as a thank you for working so hard to support everyone. He stays frozen in place, unsure of what to do for the first time in a while.

• He can’t help keeping his eyes on you as you approach him, taking his hands in yours, and he involuntarily flinches away from your touch.

• You immediately look concerned, saying that you don’t have to if he isn’t comfortable with it. Finn apologizes, reassuring you that’s it’s not your fault, it’s just…been a long time for him. He’s doesn’t know if he remembers the steps, and he’s afraid he might step on your toes if he tried, or worse.

• You smile at him, saying that it’s okay if he doesn’t remember. You can make up your own dance together.

• With that he nods, taking your hands once again and you lead him to the center of the room. He lets you guide his hands to rest on your hips, and you place yours on his shoulders.

• You stay like this for awhile, swaying back and forth to the music. Right now, it’s just you and him, together in your own little world.

• You lay your head on his chest, breathing in his natural scent as he holds you in his arms. Finn sighs and rests his head on top of yours, finally able to relax and just be.

• He knows that no matter what happens, you’ll always have each other, and that’s good enough for him.

Little bonus!

•While the two of you are wrapped up in each other’s embrace, Jay shushes his younger siblings as they all watch from the stairs, still in their PJs.

Bonnie perks up and asks, “Does this mean we’re getting a new mom?”

Jay smiles, looking at how happy his dad looks for the first time in years, and replies, “I sure hope so.”

Anymore catalyst x horizon? I love this ship so much 😭❤️ I keep re-reading your other headcanons for them 😭

I'm glad you like my other work! Honestly astrowitch is one of my favorite ships in the game hdjdhaj I love them. I don't know if I have anymore headcannons that I haven't already said so I wrote a small fic instead, I hope you like it :)

Contains: hurt/comfort, established relationship, mention of child loss, grieving

I haven't written hurt/comfort since like middle school please don't bully me hdbsjsj

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The room Horizon sat in smelled heavily of incense and herbs. There were many plants lining the window sills and pretty much every other surface in the room. The space was comfortable, it felt welcoming and friendly.

Across the table in front of her sat Catalyst, looking ethereal like always. She was wearing comfortable clothes, a knit sweater and some sweatpants. She held a deck of tarot cards in her hands, shuffling them expertly. Ah, yes. They were having their weekly tea date. Catalyst had offered to give Horizon a tarot reading, since she seemed more spaced out than usual.

"Just think about what's been troubling you. It could be in the form of a question, or not." Catalyst's voice cut through the silent room, it was smooth. Horizon closed her eyes and thought about it. The room fell into comfortable silence again other than the sound of cards being shuffled and placed on the table. "Okay, open your eyes. Let me see what the cards have to say."

Horizon sipped her tea, tasting like lemon and lavender, and watched her girlfriend flip over the cards. Her fingers were entrancing, the way they moved without stutter or hesitation. She always seemed so confident in her actions. Horizon couldn't help but be amazed.

"The empress, reversed... Five of cups... The sun, reversed... oh Mary, you poor thing." Catalyst's expression changed, and she looked at Horizon in worry. It was obvious the cards weren't saying anything good.

"You're gonna have to tell me what they mean, Tressa. I'm not a mind reader." Horizon joked, trying to cover up her nervousness at the situation. She hated being vulnerable. She was supposed to be the one to comfort others, so when the situation flipped around on her it made her feel weak and scared.

To distract her from her discomfort, Horizon focused on the drawings that adorned the cards. They were hand drawn, all signed with a small star and moon in the bottom corner. Catalyst had made them recently and insisted on giving every legend a tarot reading to break them in. Every reading so far had been pretty positive, singing praise of strength and intelligence. This was the first time Horizon had seen Catalyst so troubled by the cards.

"Are you sure you want to hear it? I'm afraid it will be quite harsh."

"I'm stronger than you think, dear. I can take whatever this deck of cards will tell me." Horizon faked a smile and gestured for the other to go ahead with the reading. Still, Catalyst hesitated for a second.

"Okay," Catalyst sighed. "I just want you to know that I'm here for you."

The Empress is often a sing of fertility and femininity. When reversed, it signifies an emptiness within a person or that insecurities are showing. It can also signify a lack of progress.

"I feel like, maybe you are struggling to heal from a trauma that happened in your life. You miss something, it's making you feel empty, and you haven't been able to accept that it will never come back."

Horizon stared straight at the card, not wanting to see the pity that she could tell was in Catalyst's gaze. She didn't agree nor disagree with the statement, she couldn't bear to lie, but she couldn't admit her struggle either. So she chose to sit in silence and let her girlfriend move on to the next card.

The five of cups is a symbol of negative feelings, and often even just the sight of it makes a person feel discontent. They may be feeling disappointment or like they've been let down by someone close to them. It is also often associated with loss, grief, and mourning.

"You're grieving for someone... or something." Horizon could tell that Catalyst knew exactly who she was grieving for. "You're mourning something that you've lost. This can be the same thing that caused that sense of emptiness."

This time, Catalyst reached over to take Horizon's hand once she was done talking. She rubbed her thumb soothingly over her girlfriend's knuckles, and suddenly Horizon was aware of how her hands looked in comparison to the younger woman's. Horizon wasn't old, but she definitely wasn't young either.

She didn't understand how Catalyst was so okay with dating someone so much older than her. Sure, the age gap wasn't even ten years, but most people felt weird about the whole "lost in a blackhole for 87 years" thing. Catalyst didn't seem to mind though, in fact, she thought it was super interesting how space worked.

"Let's get through the last card. Is that okay, Mary?"

Horizon just nodded, finding that she was too choked up to speak.

The Sun represents joy, happiness, confidence, and success. Somewhat obviously The Sun reversed is a symbol of depression, pessimism, and overall negativity. This may be something bad that has happened to a person, causing them to feel negative, or it can also be a sign that you are being too unrealistic and need to ground yourself.

"The last card is telling me that the cause of your emptiness, your trauma, is preventing you from continuing on in your life. You can't do certain things that you'd like to because of this negativity bearing down on you." Catalyst looked up when she finished talking while Horizon continued to stare at the cards. "Mary... I know you miss Newton."

"I don't want to talk about him, Tressa." For the first time since she entered the room, Horizon didn't try to fake being happy. Catalyst knew that she was grieving, and that fact made her want to hide away forever.

"That's alright, love. What can I do to help you?"

"Some tea would be nice, and maybe we can just sit together?" Horizon looked up into Catalyst's eyes for the first time since the tarot reading began. In her gaze, she found the pity she was afraid of, but it was mostly overwhelmed by adoration and care.

"That sounds lovely. Let me put a kettle on." Catalyst stood up from the table, gently letting go of Horizon's hand as she walked towards the kitchen. "I assume you'd like something calming? Lavender?"

"You know me so well, dear." Horizon smiled. As Catalyst busied herself getting the tea together, Horizon took to running her fingers over the drawings on the cards. Such delicate, pretty things, and yet they tell you all your fears and worries.

Oh Newt, how I miss you...

Final - Coming To Terms ✮⋆˙

Authors Note: Damn. My style changes a lot doesn’t it? Anyway, Tressa x Trey final episode. Honestly, it’s gonna be a thing but it’s not going to become a thing in this series. Some other series maybe. But this one? No. Credits to @cafekitsune for the dividers as always ❤︎ . Btw, this is old Tressa, the way I perceive Tressa now is way kinder!

Contents: Nothing to really warn you about. Swearing though.

Taglist: @liviavanrouge @394091238483

WC: Not this time guys.

previous episode ✦

STUPID EX

So, let’s get this straight, Tressa was in denial about having any sort of feelings for Trey. She was completely and totally out of it, thinking, no way, or, bullshit talk! Love her rival? Her enemy? Yeah right! Life would have been so much easier if it had just ended like that. But no, even the Internet decided to get in on the action.

“Do you have feelings for someone but are in denial?” The ad asked, wow, what a mind reader. Tressa thought. But once she really though about it, she slowly but surely realized. She definitely had feeling for Trey.

All out crisis. She had feelings for the enemy. Her rival. The person she was meant to hate with her passion and blood. Yet here she was, crushing on him like a little high school girl. Accept high school girls aren’t always cringey or crushing on guys, but whatever! The simple thought of it sickened her, she liked someone. She thought she was over romance. But nope, she fell for someone else.

So how does she proceed in life? How does she go about living? Does she pursue him? Does she ask him out? Maybe try getting to know him? Or just out right confess that she started liking him? No. None of those actually.

Tressa decided to let it go. She decided, no. She didn’t have to do anything, she wanted to grow out of these feelings. Plus, Trey surely had an eye on some other person. Like that baker girl down the street. Yeah.

While this resolve isn’t the happiest one, it’s the best one in her opinion. She didn’t need romance. She needed time to herself. And that’s what she was gonna do.

“Earth to Tressa!” Trey said, waving a hand in front of her face, Tressa snapped out of her daze. She apologizes, now where we’re they?

[starghost-fics]

I've had quite the week. I think I'm going to eat some ice cream now, thank you very much.

Anyway, we are getting closer to actual Cyrus/Therion, by which I mean there is a kiss and a bit of confusion and denial. Classic.

Chapter 6—a thief in the night: The aftermath of the thieves' market and some heightened emotions. Therion makes a choice and then backs away from it and straight into a nice stranger's bed. Then he runs away from the others.

some rambling commentary:

fun fact: I think this chapter lost me a reader. I don't mean to lol but also I do. Someone had been reliably commenting (which I treasured) and then was never heard from again. Sorry if Therion sleeping with someone who wasn't Cyrus bummed you out. It certainly made him happy.

I directly lifted a beat in this chapter from The Secret History, which I read for the first time when I was writing this. It's a pretty small thing in TSH, I think, but I read it and went "Yes, I'll have that, thank you."

I giggle every time I think of Tressa going "SURPRISE" and pouring disinfectant on the million cuts on Cyrus's arm. She's getting it done.

Cyrus's observations on the battle, on Therion's actions, combined with his truly passionate nature, makes for a good moment. Finally trying to understand why Therion stopped wearing the talent.

A starry night, a swift breeze, a cold drink sweating on the table, not being killed by the man who betrayed you. Who wouldn't want to make out with someone? In other words: THEY KISS, THANK THE GODS.

Unfortunately, they are both dummies.

If not interrupted, what would have happened? But Therion also has some form of feelings for Cyrus, whether he admits it or not, and he does not like having feelings for a person, who by nature of being a person could hurt him quite easily and badly, and that naturally makes him quicker to back away.

Who pulled away first? Hard to say.

"you should bring your friend, not just talk about him" omg i forgot i wrote that. excuse me Therion, you talked about Cyrus with your fling??? and then ran away from him? babe

I love Alaya. She seems interesting.

Cyrus's voice was so fun to write here. I'm not entirely sure I've held onto it, which is frustrating since I'm trying to write a sequel!! Anyway, here in particular, when he's obsessing over the kiss, is fun

Therion loves to deflect, man. He knew what Cyrus was trying to ask. But he takes the other explanation and runs. Literally! Babe!! Go get some counseling!

(Spoiler: he kind of does.)

Treasure

Summary: Your looking through your inventory, thinking of what your most treasured item could be, but all you can think about is your seven travel companions.

Written for the BTS Ghosite Marathon. Prompt: Themes: Types of Love

Drabble: 27/30

Pairing: n. Reader x OT7

Genre: fluff, humor, friendship

Warnings: homesickness, a kiss on the cheek, some clueless iditos

Word Count: 1,384

A/N: Thank you @yoongsgguktae​ for helping me brainstorm some ideas for this and some other prompts. This prompt is also inspired by Octopath traveler.

You were sorting the inventory, some of the odd trinkets and doodads ended up in your bag for quick storage, and you couldn’t get rid of the captain’s words out of your mind.

What is your most precious treasure?

There was so much treasure and you were eagerly looking forward to haggling it away at the market tomorrow, but none of it was precious, not to you anyways. Then you look at your small pile of personal items you accumulated over the tip. You smile as you take notice of some particular ones gifted to you by your travel companions.

Laid out carefully on the blanket you spread out over the sand is your journal and feathered pen. Namjoon gifted you the pen, helping you enchant it to never run out of ink. He saw you writing in your journal as you do every evening, shaking an ink well furiously, wishing for just one more drop of ink.

Namjoon wished you would use it in the lessons he forced upon you though, hoping to further your non-existent academic career. You know that is his way of caring though so you humor him. His knowledge did come handy selling some things though and he did have an excellent eye for detail, as long as it wasn’t anything involving romantic intentions.

Next you see a fragile piece of paper with a pressed flower held down by some medicine. While helping Jin look for supplies for his apothecary kit, you found this beautiful flower, one like you never saw the likes of before, growing high up on a cliff. Jin offered to get it to you, saying it was no problem, and he did, but only after a him hanging off the rocky wall and the both of you screaming. He got it though and didn’t die for it so you both counted it as a win. Knowing you didn’t want to see it wilt, Jin offered to press it for you, saying his friend back home showed him how.

The medicine was left over from a cold you got out in the frost lands. It was a mess of a storm, too many ice wolves trying to fight you for your food, and you got separated from the group. Jungkook was able to track you down somehow through it all, and Jin helped you back to health. His soup warmed your heart but his bitter medicine still makes you grimace as you recall the taste.

Thinking of Jungkook, your hand reaches up to touch the feather sticking out of your cap. The young hunter gifted it to you after your previous one got ruined. You were stricken, having gotten it from your family before leaving home. Jungkook had asked you why you were so sad while you were looking down forlornly at your hat and so you told him. He hummed and stalked off with his direwolf, not returning until later that night.

When Jungkook returned, he came back with a beautiful feather and offered it to you. He confessed he couldn’t find a feather from the same species in this area but thought you might like this one, but would understand it you didn’t want it. You take the feather and gave him a kiss on his cheek in thanks, turning his sad pout into one gaping in surprise. Why were your travel companions so clueless when it came to romance?

You can’t help but snort as you think of the clueless men. The most innocent comes to mind and you lean over, searching for the perfect little seashell he gave you. You trace the edges of the shell, and smile as the sense of home hits you. While you love traveling, there are times you do miss your little ocean town that you wished to leave so eagerly.

Taehyung picked up on your feelings easily. When a night came you were close to the coast again, he grabbed your hand and dragged you to the shore. There, you soaked your feet in the ocean and breathed in the salty air while Taehyung searched the beach. He ran over to you excitedly with a boyish grin, handing you the beautiful seashell in front of you now.

Stiffly, you rotate your shoulders, the workout Hoseok put you through earlier starting the burn. The ex-knight saw it as his duty to help train you as his traveling companion, wanting to make sure you can protect yourself. You can fight just fine, your skill with a spear and bow quite impressive, but it never hurts to be more prepared. Just, ouch, he’s trying to over prepare you, that’s for sure.

Hoseok doesn’t talk about his past much, but when you spar you can egg a little out of him. You know he values honor and protecting the innocent like any other knight, but Hoseok fully enacts on those beliefs, and you look up to him for it. As cheesy as it sounds, when you pick up your weapon, you think what would Hoseok do? It has saved you more than once or twice too.

You pick up the last gift from the blanket and unfold a beautiful fan with a snap of your wrist. When you said Hoseok didn’t talk about his past much, that’s an understatement compared to Jimin. The dancer’s sharp glare cuts as much as his deadly knives do so you quickly learned not to ask. It makes you happy though that he’s soften up around the edges some, at least to your group anyways. Plus, it’s hard to stay away from the man that can seduce nearly anyone with his grace. You’re glad he’s on your side.

The fan is decorated with beautiful petals blowing in a stylistic wind. You could sell this for a lot of money, but there’s no way you would do that. Jimin got it for you when you helped him sneak into the mansion to help fulfill part of his revenge plot. He could have gotten you any fan, but he picked one with the same petals as the flower Jin pressed for you. It’s a sign of Jimin opening up to you, and you wouldn’t trade it for the world.

“You could sell that for a high sum, you know.”

“I know,” you snap, closing the fan. Frowning, you turn toward the voice behind you to only see no one there. “Stop showing off.”

When you turn around again, you see Yoongi crouching down over your personal belongings. A coin shines as it flips through his fingers and you pat down your pocket only to find it empty.

“Yoongi, give it back.”

“Is it stealing if I gave it to you in the first place?” Yoongi looks up with a smug grin. It only grows at your frustrated huff.

“Yes, it’s mine now.” You stretch out your hand. “Please.”

“If you insist.” He flicks the coin up in the air and you watch as it flips up into an arch and into your hand. Showoff.

Your thumb traces the foreign mark on the coin before you slide it back into your pocket. Yoongi found the coin from one of his marks’ coin bags. It was useless to him as he didn’t know anyone who took that foreign currency, so you took one of the coins before he could toss them all out, fascinated by its design and wondering how it got to this little corner of world. Yoongi snorted, calling you a kid and saying you could have it so badly if you wanted. You never took any of Yoongi’s stolen goods, except for this little coin.

“What are you thinking about so hard over there?”

For not wanting friends, he sure looked out for you a lot. Always offering help if you wanted it and stepping back when you wanted to do something on your own. He respected your boundaries and talents and you did the same despite not agreeing with each other all the time.

“Just thinking about my most precious treasure.” All these items you hold close to you, but even more so are the memories that surround them and your friends. The eclectic group of people you travel with and this journey you are on is what you love the most in the world.

Hi! Can I request some platonic Octopath Traveler headcanons with a reader who's in a party with Tressa, Cyrus, Therion, and Alfyn? If that's too much, then just Therion and Tressa are fine! Thanks so much!

I most certainly can! I haven’t written for Octopath before so I apologize if anything is ooc-

– – – – –

Therion

It does not matter if it’s platonic or not, he will show off

Oh you haven’t watched him fight before? Watch him take out three monsters singlehandedly, telling his teammates they’re all his to defeat the whole time

He gets all smug when he kills a monster and the entire party has to deal with it (until he gets smacked up by another monster and his ego gets put back in check)

It’s not all bad though because sometimes he’ll buy everyone drinks at a nearby tavern to celebrate

He’s bragging to the patrons and barkeep the whole time but he’s paying so none of you feel a need to stop him

He and Tressa regularly get into arguments about stealing things, Therion insists that with their limited funds it’s a more financially sound decision to just take things, Tressa lectures him on how people make their livings selling things, Therion seems unaffected

You and Alfyn are usually the ones to break it up

They always start up again eventually though- neither will ever concede

He’s really good at spotting things out in the field so you’ve taken many ten minute detours to grab some shiny thing Therion saw in the distance

Alfyn Greengrass

He is a sweetheart

Like, he will heal you when he’s on the verge of collapsing because he wants to help

You might have to remind him that he needs to survive just as much as you do

But it’s all out of wanting to make sure the party is at their best so they can do good things

Sometimes he’ll stop everyone as you’re adventuring because he noticed a person or animal looking ill and he wants to make sure they’ll be okay

He’s also very personable with innkeepers and can get you guys a discount pretty often

Usually he insists on staying in the inn if somebody has important business to their personal journey to be respectful

He doesn’t want any of his party members feeling weird having everyone watching some deep personal moment

While you aren’t sure if any of you actually care that much, it’s still a sweet gesture that he’d wanna give you all privacy

Plus you guys get an extra nap out of it so you aren’t about to complain

Cyrus Albright

During battle he’s focused but also very bad at shutting up

Like, yeah he never misses an enemy but also he will not stop giving advice on everyone’s weapons

It’s very endearing because it’s obviously from a desire to teach but still Cyrus maybe stop talking Therion looks like he’s about to slice you

He mumbles a lot in and out of battle, usually about strategy or repeating enemies’ weaknesses so he can write them down later

It’s lucky he does that- you’ve noticed the others aren’t fantastic at note taking (out of not caring or forgetfulness you aren’t sure, but you know it’s good that Cyrus is there)

He will talk your ear off the entire walk between cities if you let him

He has a lot of stories to tell and information to share, so when given permission it all just starts flowing out of his mouth

You can often hear him and Alfyn discussing healing techniques and salves and balms, Cyrus doesn’t seem very knowledgeable on those more natural solutions

He really is like a sponge with new information, one time you heard Alfyn tell him how every plant in a certain family behaved and he was already mumbling about it to himself the next day

Tressa Colzione

Extremely protective

She will jump in the way of a monster to keep you safe

She cares a lot about her friends, she doesn’t want any of you getting hurt

This also means she will attack anything that seems to be a threat and yes she did stab a tree branch because your sleeve got caught in it and she thought it was a monster grabbing you but that was just one time can we stop bringing it up-

She’s very personable like Alfyn, although her skills lie more in getting you better equipment without running out of money

Therion would argue it’d be easier to just take the stuff when they weren’t looking but Tressa simply can’t agree with that and now they’re arguing again

Despite her scuffles with Therion, she really does seem like the glue of your party sometimes

None of you are exactly hostile towards each other, but some of you are certainly less social than others and it would be easy for one of you to drift

Easy, that is, if it weren’t for Tressa constantly coming up with things for you to do as a group to prevent that drifting

Can I request snow fairy winx club chubby reader x Nereus based on season 4 fanfic

Hello dear 💖 sorry this was also short. I hope you enjoy this.

Nereus x chubby ice fairy reader🧜‍♂️🧚‍♀️

In love with the sea 🌊

y/n was an artic fairy that protected her kingdom, she was allied with the son of the seven seas Nereus. Unlike his brother, Nereus is quite kind and caring he isn’t cruel even in the slightest. Y/n had secret feelings for the young prince, but she was often interrupted by his evil twin, he would try to kidnap the young artic fairy. Nereus would try to rescue y/n along with the help of the Winx club.

Nereus would sneak away to his chambers and secretly talk y/n which led to an affair. This little affair made the two of them have feelings for one another. Y/n had the power of ice and Nereus had the power of the sea, Ice, and water.

Y/n was also best friends with Tressa the sister of Nereus, they had a lot in common. Sometimes she would tease Nereus, it was only because she liked him. Y/n would form snow balls and try to hit him with it, she would often miss though.

Y/n had been in the Winx club once or twice mostly because when they needed help, she would assist. It became awkward after she realised, he had feelings for her, y/n would blush and stumble when trying to use her frost powers.

“I-I” Y/n nervously stumbled “You alright, your face is going bright red” Nereus teased. “Yes, I’m fine” y/n had planted her lips on him. She had to do something to get his attention, y/n was in love with the king of the sea. “I- y/n” he looked softly in her eyes; he caressed her cheek.

Nereus and y/n shared their first kiss in the palace of the sea, and she was chosen to be the next queen.

Anyways that's all I have for now:

Octopath Traveler (Modern) Road Trip Headcanons

Because I can

This is going to be set in a modern setting also because I can

Might just refer to the travelers as the octofam because found family tropes my beloved also because it's catchier and easier to type

The octofam decide to go on a road trip because y e s

They decide to go drive around and eventually stop at some nice place with grass to have a picnic because picnics are fun

The car they take has three rows, two seats in each of the first two rows and three connected seats at the back row, as well as a really large trunk

(I don't know how to describe cars lmao please forgive me)

The group votes Olberic as the designated driver and H'aanit as backup driver because they don't trust anyone else with the wheel (especially Therion or Tressa)

They set off. Olberic sits in the front with Cyrus holding a map just in case they get lost

Once they leave, Cyrus starts talking about everything but the map with the occasional "I think you should turn left" here and there

Primrose and Ophilia take the middle row and they both start chatting about their plans for the road trip

Primrose occasionally decides to comment on Whatever The Hell is going on in the back row

Tressa, Alfyn and Therion are in the back row. Therion had chosen the middle seat and now he absolutely regrets it

No one knows what the hell those three discussing back there but they are LOUD. It's chaotic back there

The trunk is big, comfy, and lined with pillows and blankets. It's connected to the rest of the car and has a back window

This is Linde's spot because she insisted on coming along, and H'aanit insisted on keeping her company. The two opt to take a nap in the back

In the beginning, everything is very loud, mostly due to the back row's loud chattering, and Ophilia and Primrose raising their voices a bit in an attempt to hear each other

Amidst the confusion, Cyrus accidentally gives Olberic the wrong directions, and they have to find another road to the picnic place

Everyone is annoyed by this (besides H'aanit and Linde who are miraculously still asleep), and everyone attempts to give Olberic the right directions all at once

Olberic is understandably having a very bad time in this position (rip my guy)

Therion complains about carsickness, and Alfyn opts to help, only to realise that his satchel had gotten onto the floor in Who Knows Where

The entire back row dips out of helping with directions and are helping Alfyn find his satchel

Olberic leads them to a gas station, where everyone gets off to either stretch their limbs, use the washroom, buy some snacks, or all three

Tressa gets loaded on snacks during this period

Linde does not get to get out of the car because a snow leopard in a gas station probably isn't the best idea. Linde is sad

Everyone gets back onto the car in their original positions

Therion and Alfyn switch spots because the middle seat of the back row is uncomfortable af and Alfyn didn't mind

Some time in between then and when they leave the gas station they find Alfyn's satchel

Tressa starts handing everyone a bag of assorted nuts, which she presents to the octofam by asking "do you want a pack of deez nuts"

This earned a collective groan from those who understood the joke

Cyrus did not understand the joke and tried to ask everyone else what the matter was with the phrase "deez nuts". Poor Cyrus

The three in the back row had fallen asleep after all the shenanigans. At this, the car's atmosphere grew immensely quiet. Even Ophilia and Primrose began to doze off

PICNIC TIME HELL YEAH BABY

Everyone who was asleep got up and got off the car

Tressa proceeded to dump all the snacks she'd bought from the gas station onto the picnic mat

The picnic wasn't too crazy and everyone had lots of food

Linde got let out and started roaming around the grass area. Good for her

H'aanit drove on the way back because Olberic was rightfully tired

Cyrus got demoted from being the map reader (because H'aanit knew the way back) and sat in the trunk with Linde

The journey back was pretty uneventful because they all just talked about the road trip

Oh wait no it was not uneventful because they were playing music

Everyone picked a bunch of songs to sing along to but they ran out of songs they liked so everyone started suggesting songs. All at once.

Tressa tried to rickroll everyone but her suggestion was rejected (I just think she'd have chaotic gen z energy)

In the end they just played cool jazz for the rest of the journey (cool jazz as in the jazz genre not jazz music that's cool, although jazz is good)

And when they got home, everyone had a nice long nap

The end

Relationship headcanons with Catalyst and M!Reader maybe? Love your headcanons for her!

Surely!!! Also tysm!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so glad you guys are enjoying my silly little fanfics B]

Tressa “Catalyst” Smith x M! Reader

Warnings: nothing, maybe some grammar mistakes

She’s huge into zodiac signs and other astrology stuff so she did see it the two of your guy’s zodiacs were compatible

(For research purposes)

Loves reading tarot cards with you and seeing what cards you pick

Would brew up some tea if you asked, she has a whole cabinet full of different tea leaves just for the time of day or how she’s feeling

She makes some killer ass tea though

When you have your back towards her she’ll most definitely hug you from behind

She does this quite a lot

“Good morning, handsome.” A familiar voice rang as you stood in front of the bathroom mirror right above the sink. You were in the process of brushing your teeth while trying to adjust to the bright lighting of the lights. Tressa wraps her arms around your waist, the warmth of her body mixes with your slightly cooler temperature.

If you save her in a match she’ll call you “her Prince Charming”

Right after you heal her she goes “What would I do without my Prince Charming.”

DQXI/Octopath Traveler Crossover

Crossover week: Home | 1 | 2 | 3| 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |

Anyone call for a story idea with just character roles planned but no plot? Oh boy do I have the post for you! I’ve only played through chapter 2 of Octopath but from how things are going I have a few ideas for plotlines… on the whole, however, this post outlines each of the characters and their backstories.

Character descriptions under the cut because it’s long! Mentions of a character who's deaf, another character who's trans, and another character with DID.

I’ve been loving Octopath Traveler, but if there’s one thing I had to nitpick, it’s that there’s not enough moments woven in between all the characters! There’s a “travel banter” feature that covers the thinnest bases, where at some points in the game, the option for travel banter will appear on your screen and you can select it to see two characters have a short conversation. You have no choice in which characters talk to which, and you can’t go to that chat feature whenever. Also, let’s say you’re doing someone’s storyline. The other characters don’t talk in other’s cutscenes!

It sort of feels like there are eight games in one when you format the game that way. It's a little… disjointed.

Premise: Another fusion fic where the eight characters in Octopath are swapped for the team in DQXI (plus Gemma). Each character can still have their own backstories and subplots, but I am hankering hard for an overarching plot and antagonist. Maybe there’s, like, an evil League of Villains or some cult. Shouldn’t be too hard to find a place to slot that in, right?

Just like in the game, you stick to one character’s perspective and travel around to pick up the rest of your team, only in this fic, there’s varying dynamics between all the characters and oh boy it’d be prominent.

Characters

H’aanit ➡ Elimelech (El)

The Hunter

Born deaf, Elimelech hunts with his wolf companion and a quiver on his back. Despite appearances, El is not one to be underestimated; he is the pride of his village, which has recently celebrated his rite to adulthood. However, with adulthood comes an unexpected discovery, one which spurs him to leave the village in search of answers to his true heritage.

A literal strong, silent type. But has his shy moments, too. I can imagine you having to tap his shoulder to get him to see you talking to him sometimes, and he has this cute, brief look of curiosity on his face… 🥺

Similar to how H’aanit spoke in Middle and Old English, I think sign language would be interpreted the same way in this world. So everyone’s comprehension of SL is good, signing back… maybe not so good.

Animal companion (Sandy but beefed up into a wolf) would help him interact with the world, or at least keep him out of trouble.

Therion ➡ Erik

The Thief

Like the muck wiped off someone’s shoe, Erik’s not much wanted in most places, but luckily not thought about, either, which helps when he’s stealing coin purses. After a heist goes wrong, he’s tasked with retrieving priceless heirlooms to get back something important.

Does Derk fit well as replacement for Therion’s best buddy? (Sure?)

Therion was apparently well-known despite no one knowing what he looked like. Maybe I can make the opposite work for Erik.

The whole thing with Therion was getting a silver band off his wrist but I still like Erik’s canon plot more, so I’d find a way to shove that in.

Tressa ➡ Gemma

The Merchant

An ambitious and overly friendly adventure wannabe, Gemma uses an anonymous journal as her guide to the wonderful — and perilous — world beneath her feet.

Original plot for Tressa tracks fine, although wouldn’t it be cool if Gemma’s journal were written by Sudo Nim??

Old Dragon Quest had merchant classes, too. Wonder if there’s anything in those mechanics I could add to this fic.

Gemma and El hit it off right away and converse excitedly about everything from cuisine to cute boys. Though… no one tells Erik, who thinks they’re crushing on each other. (love triangle that really isn’t, haha!)

Cyrus ➡ Rab

The Scholar

Newly retired and looking for a new purpose in life, Rab decides to answer a decade-old mystery. While scholarly work has always been a hobby for him, he’s prepared to get to the bottom of this puzzle and hone his analytical skills in the process.

Definitely NOT following Cyrus’s plotline here

I could still have fired Rab (similar to Cyrus) and claimed workplace discrimination, but I like my alternative: “Rab was the head of a royal estate but got bored and ‘quit,’ putting someone else in charge so he could go fart off elsewhere.”

Is Rab related to El in this??? He could be. (Sercretly.)

Alfyn ➡ Sylvia

The Performer

A talented performer with an elusive path, Sylvia has called many places home. Following in the path of a traveler who once changed her life, she sets out to bring smiles to people’s faces and avoid the roots of a past that refuses to leave her alone.

Alfyn was last on the list when I was doing matching so sorry Sylv that you got matched with this backstory. But I can adjust it to make it work

Sylvia and Alfyn both have the goal of cheering up sick kids and ya know I think Sylv could learn some healing stuff along the way! She’s much more than just a pretty face, you know.

Someone from Sylvia’s path definitely shows up again and that will be trouble for her

Primrose ➡ Jade

The Dancer

Jade’s patience and sharp mind have sustained her through years of hard living, although it is all worth it when she finds her chance to exact revenge upon those who killed her father.

— Pretty straightforward, can take a lot from Octopath’s plot for this one.

— Hard decision of whether to somehow incorporate this into Hendrik’s storyline or make Jade’s father and the king Hendrik serves two completely different people

Olberic ➡ Hendrik

The Warrior

An erstwhile knight of a fallen kingdom, Hendrik melts into life in a quiet mountain village until word comes of a former comrade who’d turned traitor and killed their liege.

Jasper is the traitor, obviously!

As for their slain liege… can it really be Carnelian again when that’s Jade’s storyline? Like a plot twist that they were both following the same guy this whole time? Probably not. Probably needs to be someone different. Or Carny can just be twice as dead.

Ophilia ➡ Serenica (Serena and Veronica)

The Cleric

A level-headed cleric, Serenica serves the faith alongside her adoptive family. She takes up the torch to fulfil a traditional pilgrimage to rekindle light across the realm.

This one is complicated and I’m not sure how I’m going to do it yet

I wanted Veronica and Serena to both inhabit the same body and considered them having Dissociative Identity Disorder. I am very not sure about this. If I do it that way, I’d want to do it properly, with a sensitivity reader, research, etc. Because being respectful is Cool.

(P.s. There was fanart but someone (me) misplaced the art and never took photos of it???)

Embracing the Seasons | 118 | You vs. Yul

Shuichi had the potential for anything in life — he could be outrageously wealthy, successful in his ambitions, and could quite likely woo any woman he set his eyes on.

However, none of that interested him. Or so he thought.

He longed for something more, something that sparked the thrill of adventure, purpose, and challenge.

He never could fathom how the call of the autumn wind would one day summon the side of him he left behind and bring to him a future, a love, worth protecting.

This is a wholesome and wistful account of Kurama, and how he finds a love so compelling that his world is shaken. He meets phantoms of his past, and the sacrifices he makes to keep his loved one safe forces him to confront the piece of his soul that is demon. Both Kurama and his beloved must overcome the darkness that threatens to destroy their future together.

[Reader x Kurama]

@tressa-rose @nanajaems0308

[jaeminscoffee]

Ineffable.

Ineffable - Too great to be expressed in words.

Pairing - Lee Taeyong x reader

Genre- Pure fluff!

Word count- 2.58k

Warnings- None but please let me know if THIS amount of fluff is cringe or not kselkkd. Also, I'm sorry if this story's dissapointing, my health hasn't been the best so if the storylines not good, let me know :)

Summary- All it took was a couple of smack on his head, water splashed onto his face and being called friend on the first date for him to step out of his comfort zone and confess to you.

You and Taeyong had a really complicated relationship. If you could call it one. 

You're neither friends, nor enemies, neither were you dating. You wish you were but no. 

But still at the end, the two of you always end up paired together, be it projects, going for business trips, being promoted together, you'd basically seen him all day. So it was obvious the two of you spoke. 

Well, you spoke, he'd listen, giggle at your talks, and then say a sentence or two max. You guys would be what people other than your friend group called acquaintances.

Anyone with eyesight would know immediately that you're head over heels for the lad. You made it a little too obvious. Always talking frantically around him, your heart flutters when you hear him laugh, his presence in all just made you giddy. And so you'd always been happy when he'd be paired up with you in everything. 

Your friends basically divided themselves into two groups. One that supported you and pushed you to go confess your love for him, the other being one who ridiculed you for loving a guy that they thought would never like you back. 

On the other hand, Taeyong was just shy. 

Your bubbly persona overwhelmed him. Of course he liked you too, he just needed one smack at the back of his head. Or not because his friends have done it way too many times, yet here he is, just daydreaming scenarios of what he'd do for you if the two of you dated resulting in him not talking much. 

So when Yuta, his friend, poured the tiniest amount of water onto his face and yelled 'BOOMER' at him, he thought it's finally time to make a move. 

A hangout. Exactly what the two of you needed. 

Break time had come to an end, you were walking with Luna to your cabin, when you crossed paths with Taeyong, who was indulged in a conversation with Johnny, another one of his friends from the same department as the two of you. 

"Oh boy, here we go again" Luna spoke from beside you. You look at her, confusion spread all over your face. "huh?" she let out a chuckle, shaking her head, "You've been staring at him long enough for him to look back at you-" she pointed at the direction where Taeyong and Johnny stood with her head, as you turn around to look at him "-but you were so busy devouring his existence to realize that", He waved at you, which you did back but then turned back at Luna, flustered. 

She looked behind you gesturing something to either Johnny or Taeyong, then turned you around and pushed you towards where the boys were, Johnny doing the same with Taeyong as both your bodies collided, gently, but hard enough to send the two of you stumbling back a few steps. 

You hear the other two laugh and walk away, you turn back to send a glare at your friend, but ended up landing on Johnny who winked to that. 

You face your crush, "Hey" you tuck a stray piece of hair behind your ears. He sent you a smile and nodded his head, greeting back. 

"How's your day so far?" you ask him, raising an eyebrow in anticipation. "It's been good, tiring but doable" he ended the answer. Your shoulder slouch down as his answer again ended in a sentence. "What about you? How's yours going" you look up, caught off guard, since this was the first time he's ever asked a question back. 

Okay that's an exaggeration, he did ask questions, but that was a rare occasion. 

"It's good! Tressa spilled her coffee over her documents which got Mr.Kim extremely mad, i finished the final task just a few minutes before break, i was just going to gather my things and head out" you smile radiantly. He smiled at your excitement of finally getting off of work.

There was a second of silence, this time Taeyong being the one breaking it. 

"Could you wait for just a little while? I'm almost done too, so we can head out together" he asked, fidgeting with his hands, a habit he has that comes out of nervousness "If that's too much of a hassle you could go now that's fine too!-" he quickly added after seeing your eyes widen. 

You interrupt, waving your hands in the air in quick motions, shaking your head," No no! It isn't, i could wait" you smile at him, which he returned back with equal enthusiasm. 

-

No longer than 10 minutes later, you and Taeyong made your way towards the elevator, him initiating small talks every now and then, asking questions about you, to which you gave long answers for. 

"-and then Lisa just threw up on him because of how much booze was in her system" you end your story from last Saturday, Taeyong let out a hearty laugh at the ending, sending warmth streaming all through your nerves. 

The door opened at the basement, where his car was parked, "Oh? I took the bus today,I sent my car for servicing yesterday " you say, stepping out. "That's fine! I could drive you" he offered. 

"No no! That'll be a trouble for you! I could just take the bus-" "Please. I'll kidnap you if I have to, if that means you'll ride with me" Taeyong said, smiling widely at you. You giggle at his words, feeling heat rush up your cheeks, as you cup your face to reduce the heat. 

"Alright no need to involve kidnapping here" you say making your way towards his car alongside him. 

Okay Okay Taeyong, be outgoing. Fun to be around. Ask questions. This your chance. 

"Welcome aboard" He said, the second you stepped into the passenger's seat, you laughed at his antics, reaching out to fasten the seat belt. Taeyong beat you to it, reaching over across your body, tugging at the seat belt and fastening it. 

The proximity had blood rush up your cheeks once again, damn it. 

"Safety first!" he said wearing his own seatbelt, starting the car, pulling out of his parking space and out of the basement. 

Once you were away from the building of your work space, you turn to the side looking at Taeyong's side profile, admiring the way the street lights shone upon his face,highlighting the scar on the right side of his face, he's perfect, no doubt. But this slight scar proved he was too, nothing more than just a human. The grip he had on the steering wheel made the veins on his hands more prominent. "So Tae-" "-Y/n" you start at the same time, "Oh you go first" you say quickly, knowing that if you'd stay there admiring Taeyong he'd probably ask you to go first. 

"There's this really good restaurant by the corner in just two minutes and it's really late, so, wanna go grab dinner together?" he said in a breath, looking at you for a split second before turning his focus back onto the road. 

"Oh sure! If though, either you let me pay or we share the bill" you reply excitedly, smiling at the fact that you'd get to spend more time with him. 

"No? Come on, let me pay for the first date-" he stopped abruptly as you look at him with wide eyes, "date.. I like the sound of that" you let out a chuckle as you see him gulp down.

The rest of the car ride, you spoke back and forth, Taeyong replied much better than how he'd used to, you two even jammed to some of the radio music together, eventually pulling over in front of the restaurant Taeyong wanted to take you to.

"Korean barbecue? How did you know I was craving it?" you say, removing the belt and turning towards the driver's seat, to see no Taeyong. 

You jump when the door of your side opens, Taeyong standing there with his hands out, offering it to you. You hit his palm at the extremely cliché action, then held it and stepped out of the car. "Because it's Saturday and everyone craves it on the weekends, now let's go!" he pulled you out of the seat, slamming the door shut and jogging towards the restaurant as you laughed at his sudden bubbliness.

The two of you went and took a seat at the end of the restaurant, it wasn't anything too posh, but it wasn't not too plain either, it was cozy. Taeyong removed his coat and hung it on his chair. And then hurried over to your side and pulled your chair out, you smack his shoulder, to which he grinned and made his way back to his seat. 

"What do you want to eat?" he asked, looking at the menu. 

"The classic, wouldn't want to add any other flavor to the classic" you reply back, looking at the names of different delicacies written on the card, not noticing Taeyong look at you. It's when you set the menu card down that you notice his gaze. You feel yourself starting to blush for the nth time that night. This is the impact Lee Taeyong has on you. One gaze is all it takes and you're completely melted. 

The waiter came in minutes later, took your orders and went back, you just waited, having common talks with the boy in front of you, sometimes drifting into your subspace, maybe fangirling over him way too much from time to time.

"Oh oh I got another one, do you know why Hershey chocolate closed down?" he asked. 

One thing you found out about him is that he's a sucker for pick up lines. "because I'm too sweet?" you giggle as you see a frown forming up on his features "come on, yong, that's a classic try again." 

"Unfair! Even if you know the answer you shouldn't say it!" he whined out, messing his hair, you laughed out loud at how cute he looked and sounded, drawing a few eyes onto the table, which neither of you paid attention to, Taeyong joining along with you with his tiny giggles. 

The food arrived, and you dig in immediately, earning a chuckle from Taeyong as you stuff your cheeks. 

You looked cute.

"Alright this is a tough one, are you my appendix?" he asked, gulping down a decent amount of food. 

"clearly not? why?" you reply, voice coming out muffled. 

"because i have a funny feeling in my stomach that makes me feel like i should take you out" he said, looking at you intently. You start choking due to his reply, to which Taeyong laughed out loud, calming himself, leaning forward to pat the top of your head and pushing your water glass at you.

"Taeyong what in the name of heaven even!" you ask, now you lean forward to hit him as he started laughing again. 

"Hey admit it, that was a good one!" he said, looking at you with his eyes wide as you kept hitting him. 

"Whatever. Eat" You chuckle and turn back to your food, the blood most probably clot on your cheeks through the entirety of the night. 

The both of you finish, getting up from your seats as Taeyong gestured you to wait for him by the entrance. 

He paid for the food, and made his way back to you, with two fruit Popsicles in his hand. 

He handed one over to you, and started walking the opposite direction from where his car was parked. "Yong, it's this way-" you say, standing in the same place. "I know" he simply replied, stopping and turning back around to look at you. "Come on hurry, follow me!" he said and started walking again. You jog to catch up with him. 

You walk in silence for ten minutes, eating the Popsicle he'd bought, shoulder's sometimes brushing past each other. 

"We're here!" he said excitedly, you look up from your feet and stare at whatever Taeyong was looking at, eyes immediately lighting up as you see the calm waters of the river in front of you. 

"Beautiful, right?" he asked, smiling at you as your eyes stayed fixed at the scenery in front of you. 

You hum in agreement, walking towards the railing to get a closer look, Taeyong following suit. 

"Thank you" you said, all of a sudden. 

"Hm? For?" he asked, confused. "Today, it was fun! I guess we can call ourselves friends now right??" you ask, taking your eyes off the river and turning to look at the boy. 

Come on Taeyong, this is your chance. 

"Y/n." he started, you look at him with your eyebrows raised. 

"Friend's is so far off from what you really are to me, Y/n" he said, letting out a sigh and turning to face the river. 

"What do you mean?" you knew exactly what he meant. You felt your heart flutter, beating a little faster than normal, if he would back out now, you'll take a step forward. 

"Oh god how do i do this, I- just.. Okay listen, i like you okay? I really really like you" he said fast, turning to look at you this time. "I thought I made it obvious? How didn't you get even the slightest of hints if my feelings for you?" he said, his eyes furrowed.

"Because, honey you never made it obvious, if anything, you looked like you had no interest in talking to me" you said, laughing and stepping forward, feeling your stomach churn in weird ways, the muscles of your face, starting to hurt from how widely you were smiling. 

"don't mind that! I'm just-just usually like that around everyone-"

"I like you too" you cut him off, stepping forward to get a little closer to the boy.

"-and i felt like, wait what?" he stopped, looking at you with wide eyes. 

"i said i like you too! I think, in fact, I'm in love with you. A little too much" you add, seeing a red hue take over Taeyong's face, as he temporarily looked down, and back at you the shocked expression replaced by an extremely wide smile. 

You two just stared at each other, Taeyong stepping forward with a questioning look on his face.

"Can i kiss you?" he asked, his voice tiny. You laugh in content, and instead of answering him, you walk closer to him, standing on your toes, placing a soft peck on his lips. 

Taeyong let out a chain of giggles, leaning forwards and capturing your lips again, hands going around your waist, yours finding its way around his neck as the two of you smile into the kiss. 

He pulled away first, looking at you with a loving look.

"So i can call you mine from today right?" he asked, his eyes shimmering in the twilight. 

"Only if you tell me one of the best pick up lines you've got" you reply, crossing your arms over your chest watching Taeyong mumble out a 'you know it' and step back, looking you up and down, placing a hand under his chin. 

"I-...damn, I'm sorry you're so beautiful you made me forget my pick up line" he said, looking straight into your eyes.

"Ew Tae, you are such a cheesy man" you say, taking large steps towards him. He reached out to you, snaking his hands around your waist placing another soft kiss on your lips.

"I'm your cheesy man"
