Excerpt from my fic ~ Bernard x OC

a/n: ya’ll don’t even have to squint to see the Peter Pan reference and I apologize for nothing lol

It took her longer than she was willing to admit to realize that she didn’t know what time the competition started… or where it was taking place. She had been properly fiddlefarting around, kissing noses and scratching behind ears for who knew how long, when she realized her mistake. Then, with the urgency of someone who slept through their alarms, she was barreling out of the stables—

—and colliding body and soul into the trim frame of the Arch Elf.

“Easy there, little lady,” he said with the whoosh of breath that was pushed out of him from her crashing into him. “I thought I would find you here,” he added, righting his hat back to its perfect angle and straightening his shirt, both of which were askew from the collision. He frowned when he spotted glitter on his shirt and started batting it away to the best of his ability.

Gale grinned, dancing from one foot to the next excitably, “You were looking for me?”

Bernard looked back to Gale, giving her a friendly smile as he watched her move. “I was. It’s just about time for the competition to start and I was wondering if you wanted to go,” he tilted his head toward her conspiratorially and said with emphasis, “as friends?”

Gale’s smile was so big that she felt like her face might split in two. Her heart warmed so much from what the elf said, she couldn’t help but lift off the ground as her wings fluttered happily. She took his hands in hers and spun them in place as she excitably chattered, “You are so darling. I would love that. You should have told me sooner. We could have arranged to have complimenting outfits. How do you feel about glitter?”

Bernard didn’t fight the smile tugging so insistently at the corners of his mouth. Her excitement, her joy, was contagious. “I feel that it suits you much better than it suits me,” he said, resting his shoulder against the doorway of the stables after she had finished spinning the two of them.

Gale settled herself on the other side of the doorway, looking him over with her bright, dancing eyes. “Oh, I think it suits you just fine. Especially the bits that ended up on your cheeks. Just a little bit of shine and you look positively Fae.” She winked.

“Please don’t tell me I’m covered in glitter,” he begged, looking back down at his shirt for any glitter he might have missed.

She watched him fuss in amusement, admiring how the glitter on his cheeks shone with each of his movements. “Okay, I won’t…” she promised before adding, in the defense of glitter, “even if it is very a tasteful and timeless look for every type of person, I guess it’s not the look you’re going for today.” She captured his fussing hands with her own and tugged him over to her. “Hold still,” She commanded gently, moving her fingers from his hands and up to the smooth, warm skin of his face. Her eyes moved over his every feature, noting each little bit of glitter (even the one so perfectly at the corner of his mouth, like a hidden kiss.)

She tried her best to ignore how perfect the opportunity would have been to steal a kiss. He looked beautiful and slightly ruffled and affected by her, if only because it was her who had skewed his clothes and it was her whose glitter was clinging to him as if it had listened to her heart and, like her, also couldn’t get enough or be close enough to him.

Her eyes moved back up to his and she smiled when she saw that he was watching her as she delicately picked the glitter off of him. He blushed beneath her fingers and smiled back at her. She liked the looks of affecting him, she had decided. It made her want to do more.

how to brain dump like a pro

what you need

a messy notebook (I like the Leuchturm bullet ones)

a pen

a beverage for emotional support (or several <3)

how to get started

grab your notebook, and sit down in a quiet moment with enough time so you won't stress even more. The point of a brain dump is to unload all your thoughts, everything that is stressing you is put to paper. not aesthetically, no cutesy Pinterest vibes; we need it plain, unromanticised, and personal.

some prompts to get you going

do I have any deadlines coming up?

have I been making time for myself and my hobbies?

what projects, tasks, appointments, and/ or plans are currently stressing me out?

am I procrastinating anything?

am I properly looking after myself? (mental/physical health, skincare, hobbies, school/work, etc etc)

am I currently working through any challenges, and if yes how is that going so far?

how are my friends/relationships doing?

is there an area in my life that I should prioritise right now?

do I feel confident and comfortable at the moment?

Review and reflect

take some time and go over your writing; you can underline or highlight the points that you find most important. make this whole "brain dump" thing a routine; sometimes it takes a bit of writing until you actually get comfortable with putting your emotions onto paper (it sounds easier than it is..), but the more often you do this, the more comfortable you will get!! <3

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments! <3

love ya ･:*₊‧✩
