No longer was I going to hide

Transcript:

[I talked about my heart condition, on how I wanted to be a doctor at first. Then about all the emotional scars from my past and how that changed to a lawyer. She reached out to me and whispered comforting words into my ear. I didn't want to dwell on it any longer and asked the same thing back, already knowing what it'd be]

Nancy: [gently taps his knuckle] What is your dream job, Vincent?

[Contemplating how to answer, I averted my gaze, so my cap covered my eyes. A lawyer, but then I'd have to tell her why. I wanted to open my heart to her: I didn't want to hide. She would learn about my family…today]

[We just talked about cooking after. We'd spent so much time in the kitchen together. I saw all her passion for it: the way her eyes lit up while talking about her grandma's special recipes, how her brows furrowed in concentration when picking ingredients. I fell in love with cooking and even more in love with her]

Vincent: What are your dreams for the future?

Nancy: A chef! I dream of opening a restaurant one day…somewhere that feels like home to everyone. A place with lots of happiness and chatter and where people are brought together through good food!

Nancy: And I want to spend my future with the one I love [gazes lovingly into his eyes]

[I raised my hand to caress her cheek and kissed her…to tell her she was the one for me too…]

Hey. Hey. Speaking of Kaveh being like Kaeya mischaracterizations, I've come to a realization.

People say they want Kaeya and Diluc to be shippable instead of siblings because they want the dynamic, but the dynamic they describe isn't even theirs to begin with half the time; it's Kaveh and Al Haitham

huh anon yeah you might be onto something. admittedly i dont know exactly what the k*el*c people see as super romantic in the dynamic because i dont ever look at what they do i just block on sight. but if they want a friends to enemies to lovers sort of thing, then yeah kaveh and alhaitham have it all. to play devils advocate for one second though i guess you could argue that, oh, kaeya and diluc have a much more serious falling out and theres more angst and the stakes are higher all throughout their stories compared to kaveh and alhaitham who are just living in a college/university slow burn au, and thus the comparison made is stupid or whatever, i dont know. but im not the devils advocate and i dont care. so yeah i do think you're onto something

[xiakeik]

U know especially for someone who hasn't consumed JJK in awhile, that's really accurate. I'd really love more details if u want but not only is that super accurate but man what a fucking fun character that would be. Idk even know who I'd want to see them interact with the most because I want to see them interact with everybody. The stuff like doing insane things to win arguments and caring so much about how they look is such a perfect way to combine their traits too

Little rushed comic I thought I could do of their interaction with Mr. Stanford Pines himself!

Further explaination under the cut :]

Some other fun things I thought of regarding Nopher that aren't specifically related to Ford/anyone:

Nopher (which I'll say is the fusion name), definitely will have a hard time getting used to the body first. If you think about it, it's just Sukuna & Itadori in Season 1 (which btw, IF my art block doesn't attack me, i MIGHT draw an interaction btwn them). Simply not pleasant LMAO. Ford doesn't really know what to do with it because Nopher isn't much of a threat for the moment. Another thing to note is that Nopher kinda just showed up to to Ford's doorstep (thanks Bill) and while Ford DOES immediately recognize Bill in Nopher, he does not recognize the physical body he inhabits. Ford doesn't know Nobara, and Nobara doesn't know Ford. Only connection they really have with each other is Bill. I feel like Ford would be VERY intrigued by how Nobara, who likely doesn't have much knowledge on Bill, is able to withstand brief periods of possession per say? I'd like to think that although Ford really doesn't want to do anything with Cipher At All, he can't really ignore the fact that he got a "random" person involved. Obviously Nopher's capable of pretty much the entire arsenal that Nobara & Bill have (except Bill's powers might be a teensy bit limited but they don't know that).

Don't ask me where they get the money from but they do enjoy clothes shopping/shopping in general for the trendy stuff. One of the very few things they "enjoy"/have in common.

Nobara within the mindspace once in awhile will get excited to see the things they have around Oregon, same with Bill when they meet the JJK gang in Tokyo.

Bill ABSOLUTELY gets really confused over the idea of being able to see Curses. The creatures released during Weirdmageddon couldn't leave the confinements of the town, so it's a shocker for Bill to find that there are actually other worldly beings residing in a place outside of Gravity Falls. Freely too! (If they aren't killed)

On the contrary though, Nobara will always see the weird stuff happening in Gravity Falls as a threat. She's been trained that way to never let her guard down and she's BRUTAL with it. I think during these times, Nopher's general "crazy" really starts to come out.

Regarding the past 2 bullet points, it's a just whole new struggle for Nopher: Nobara needs to continue protecting people from Curses that normal people can't even see, whereas Bill always wants to try and make allies with them. It's tough.

That's probably all I'm gonna come up with for now!! I do have a semi-large project I'd like to get started on & finish before the end of the week so story-building Nopher may not be prioritized for now. I do hope you enjoyed my ramble though, anon!

Ok before I fall even harder into this ship there's something you guys gotta know...when I was a kid I actually watched Lazytown a LOT! I remember a lot more of the first season + songs than I thought I did tbh.

But at some point, I had a dream that I saw Sportacus naked, and from that point on I was too embarrassed to watch the show again 😂😂😂

[fragaria-imagines]

Haii I really love your first kiss hcs with harlitt, tuxam, chaco and merold can you do it with Louter and klark? 🩷

I got a bunch of request for the Stellar Twins so I thought I’ll combine the two request! I decided to put an extra spin on this and lean in to the whole OHSHC harem vibes (even though I’m pretty sure you didn’t mean it in a literal sense-), so for this request the two stories are connected (going from Klarkstella to Louterstella) but it follows Otome rules where the romantic aspect/first kiss with one twin doesn’t happen, if you read the other twins story! I hope I explained it well(?), but I hope it’s enjoyable nonetheless!

Ever since you became a knight, quietness was not something that you experienced often. There was always something going on, a fight breaking out, training with noisy classmates, meetings with lord’s, there was never a moment of peace, never a moment for you to breathe, never a moment to sit in silence with only the thoughts in your head to keep you company.

So on the rare days like this, days where the birds stopped chirping, days where the wind stilled as if time stopped moving, days where nobody was around, you appreciated the silence even more.

The only noise that could be heard in the otherwise quiet eerie morning was the sound of the machine's churning, a sound which you have come to appreciate more and even look forward too, each passing day.

"You are doing it wrong, give me the hammer” Klarkstella bluntly said, glaring at you as you worked on the machines. Though his tone wasn't demanding, it didn't leave much room for objection either.

Or more accurately, you were looking forward to seeing the person who was responsible for those machine noises.

You don’t remember how this tradition began but every morning you’ll come by the mechanic shop, and see him already there working on the machines, never taking his eyes off it no matter what was going on around him. Truth be told, you didn't know much about the blue haired knight, you two were in different bouquets, and ran in different social circles, yet you couldn't help but feel intrigued anytime you were with him.

He didn’t say much back then, always hyper focused on the task at hand, though little by little, he finally started acknowledging your presence, whether that be giving you a curt nod or a blank stare. And you didn’t mind the silence, it was refreshing to be in the same room with someone without being expected to entertain a conversation, you quite liked the comfortable silence you two had going on.

But on the off times when he actually said a word to you, it was usually very short and to the point, never engaging in any small talk unless it was to critique or criticized you. Oddly enough, for someone who likes the silence so much, you found yourself to like those days the most.

You huffed in annoyance at his demeaning words, but you caved in and handed him your hammer, knowing that as much as you hated his arrogance, he was undoubtedly a genius when it comes to machines, and would most likely fix your problem.

“I don’t know what I did wrong though, I followed the instructions to a T!” You commented, watching him tinker with the machine. He rolled his eyes at your comment, knowing you did no such thing, but kept his thoughts to himself as he fixed your machine.

“I seriously don’t know why you even bother to come here so often, if you can’t even fix a simple machine” Klarkstella retorted, though there was no real malice in his voice, more so just tired annoyance from cleaning up your mess so many times. Still that didn’t stop the redness in your cheeks from spreading, knowing full well why you come by often, when you had no major interest in machines.

“And there we go, that should do the trick! You’re welcome by the way” Klarkstella confidently said, not even bothering to hide the arrogant smirk on his face.

“Oh shut—AH!” You started your insult but before you could finish it, you ended up slipping on a piece of loose machinery on the floor.

You shut your eyes and braced yourself for the cold impact of the floor but it never came, instead Klarkstella quickly grabbed your arm and pulled you into a warm embrace before you could hit the floor. You slowly opened your eyes and were met with his icy cold glare.

“You idiot watch where you’re going! You could have seriously gotten hurt!” Klarkstella scolded you. You winced at his harsh stern voice and waited for him to loosen his grip, before pushing you off him with contempt, but it never came. His embrace never wavered, in fact you felt like he only tightened his hold on you.

You wanted to say you’re sorry, you wanted to apologize for inconveniencing him time and time again, but you couldn’t bring yourself to do so because as held you so close to his chest, you could feel his heartbeat thumping against your ear, you could feel his breath, his arms, his face so close to yours. It was at that moment you realize, you didn’t feel sorry for the inconvenience at all.

He always helped you any time you were having trouble with something, even when he could be doing anything else, and for that, you wanted to show your gratitude and appreciation for him.

An idea blossomed into your mind and you quickly turned red at the mere idea of it, his face being inches away from yours, and having his arms tightly wrapped around your waist, was definitely not helping your case, it did give you the courage to go through with it.

Slowly you moved your head closer to his and engulfed his lips with yours. You heard a small gasp coming from his lips but he made no movements to kiss you back, realizing what you have just done, you instinctively tried to pull back, in hopes to salvage whatever dignity and pride you had left.

But before you could pull away fully, Klarkstella pulled you back towards him, closing the gap between you two once again, this time more animated than before. You wrapped your arms around his neck, melting under his touch, you could stay in this position for hours.

Unfortunately, while you two may be fairies, life is not a fairy tale. You reluctantly pulled away from Klarkstella to catch your breath.

“Ah how cute…!” You thought, chuckling to yourself, once you noticed his ears had turned a bright shade of red.

Klarkstella, noticing that your attention shifted towards his ears, scowled at you. Though it wasn’t as threatening as he would have liked, since his face was just as red as his ears.

“A-anyways, um thank you for helping me with fixing my machine, a-and for catching me when I fell…! That was really nice of you so t-thanks, and I’ll love to stay and chat but I’m meeting up with a friend afterwards, so uh, see you tomorrow…!!” You awkwardly said, too embarrassed to even come up with an eloquent explanation.

You bolted out of the shop right afterwards, but you didn’t miss the amusing smirk he had on face as you helplessly explained yourself, nor the small chuckle he gave as you ran out.

Though you didn’t wait long enough to hear his response, you had a good feeling everything would be alright when tomorrow comes.

You had plans to meet your friend at a local café, but thanks to an incident at the mechanic shop -an incident that you may or may not have been responsible for-, you were running late on meeting him.

You knew he wouldn’t mind and would be understanding of your circumstance, but you couldn’t help but feel guilty for making him wait so long. So you did your best to quickly rush out of the shop to hurriedly meet up with him, Klarkstella’s lectures be damned, that was a problem for another day.

“I’m here!! I’m sorry I’m late!!” You shouted an apology to your friend. You quickly came to regret that decision, as the usual empty café, -that you specifically picked out because it was so empty, now was filled with hundreds of people…. who all heard your sudden outburst, and gave you looks of confusion, annoyance, or a mix of both.

“Y/N, over here!” Louterstella, who was sitting at the back of the café, gently called out, ignoring all the attention and turning heads that he received. You quickly made your way towards him, not wanting to draw any attention further, and sat down right across from him.

“Why is there so many people here today? It’s usually so empty” You asked, once you were seated, the embarrassment slightly started to wear off as people continued on with their day.

“It’s the morning crowd, it’s usually always like this” Louterstella explained, taking a sip of his tea afterwards.

“It’s a full house today, I’m surprised you even managed to get us a seat��.” You replied absentmindedly, taking a bite of his croissants, as you looked at the menu.

“Ah yes, it is a bit difficult to find a good spot when it’s so crowded, it’s a good thing I didn’t come so late like some people” Louterstella teased, his smile never wavering. You choked on your croissant, the earlier bashfulness from before, was coming back in full gear.

“Careful now, have some water” Louterstella gently said, handing you a cup of his water, which you graciously accepted.

“Yeah sorry about that, there was a bit of an incident at the shop that kept me later than usual but it’s fine now” You explained after you were finished drinking water. “I would have come sooner hadn’t the accident happen, honestly!”

Louterstella waived your explanation away, seemingly not that upset about it. “Relax Y/N, I’m only teasing, I know hard it is to work a machine so don’t worry about it, I assume Klark was not pleased about it, though?”

You internally rolled your eyes at the mention of Klarkstella’s name, but your annoyance wasn’t that well hidden it seems, as Louterstella let out a small laugh seeing you so defeated at the mention of his brothers name.

“Oh, so it was that bad, Klark usually means well but he does come across a bit harsh when machines are involved, I hope you don’t hold it against him” Louterstella nodded in understanding, sipping his tea.

“Yeah I get that but Louter, you have to understand, it was a total accident! I followed the instructions and everything, I don’t know how it all went so wrong!” You ranted, remembering the moment where you slipped from the broken machines parts, and Klarkstella just stared down at you, with his “I told you so” smug look.

Louterstella didn’t interrupt your long winded rant, just sat there and nodded in sympathy, understanding the frustration when it came to working a machine. And that was the great thing about him, he never had to say anything or do anything to make you feel seen or heard, his presence was more than enough. There was just something comforting about him, where you’re able to let your guard down and confess your greatest sins to him, and you wouldn’t have to worry about him judging you or thinking you were odd, he just gets it.

“I understand, I’m not great with machines myself, one time I accidentally set a room on fire because the machine I was working on exploded” Louterstella said it so softly and so casually, that if you hadn’t been paying close attention to him, you would have thought he was talking about changing the curtain drapes to another color.

“You what!? How did that even happen?” You questioned, completely in shocked as to what you just heard.

Louterstella only shrugged, like setting a room on fire and accidentally exploding a machine was the most normal thing ever. “I don’t know really, it just happened, but on the bright side the room had to be completely refurbished and now it looks better than ever!”

You laughed at how nonchalant and casual he was, yet another great thing about Louterstella, how he always managed to find a positive in every situation he’s in or faced with, even if the whole world was looking very bleak and depressing, he’ll still find a way.

It was something that you admired greatly about him, and one of the first things that attracted you to him. As a newly turned knight, you have to admit that sometimes you don’t have the most positive outlook on life at times, there are times where you are way in over your head, and feeling like the whole world is out to get you.

That’s why, you’re so glad to have Louterstella by your side, someone who would pull you away from your own dark thoughts, someone who would always be by your side no matter what, someone who cares about what you have to say, and not only cares but actually listens to what you have to say.

As you come to find out there’s a lot of great things about Louterstella, and the more you spend time with him, the more you want to find out about every single one, every nook and nanny that there is to know about him, you want to know it all.

But the question is why? Why do you want to know so much about him? Why do you want to spend so much time with him, that you rushed out of the shop, mid Klarkstella lecture, just to go see him? And the truth is, you don't know why. You don't know what these new found feelings are called. Is it love? Is it infatuation? Is it just friendship? And what were you supposed to do with all these new feelings that you don't know the name of? Do you confess? Do you put it in a little box and shove it in the back of your mind till it goes away? You just don't know. All you do know is that Louterstella makes you feel happy, makes you feel safe, makes you feel heard and seen, and isn't that enough?

“Y/N are you alright?” Louterstella asked in concern, noticing how you suddenly went quiet.

“H-huh, I’m sorry Louter, can you repeat that?” You asked. You tried to pay attention to what he was saying, you really did, but you got lost in your own thoughts— and oh god, was his face always this pretty? You knew he was an attractive man, hell there were times where you would just stare at him and say nothing, completely mesmerized by his beauty. Was that what you were doing right now? Was that why he looked so concerned? Was he weirded out? He is weirded out, isn’t he-

“Y/N!” This time Louterstella called out your name more sternly, his eyebrows furrowed in worry, and your stomach flooded with guilt.

“I-I’m sorry Louter, I don’t know what’s with me today…!! I must be feeling tired from work and— Louter…!?” Your sentence trailed off, as Louterstella gently put his hands on your forehead, activating the butterflies in your stomach that were begging to crawl out and combust.

“You look very red Y/N, it seems like you’re running a fever” Louterstella said, matter of factly. Your heartbeat was pounding against your chest at his sudden movements, and your blush only darken, which didn’t really help your predicament.

“I-I’m really fine Louter-”

“Are you sure? Because your face has only gotten redder” Louterstella pointed out, he removed his hands from your forehead, to your relief and disappointment, and started packing his things.

“What are you-”

“I don’t feel comfortable leaving you alone when you’re so sick, so I’ll be accompanying you and nurse you back to health” Louterstella explained, with a genuine smile on his face. You, on the other hand, wanted to die right there on the spot.

“Oh I can’t ask you for that! I don’t want to cause trouble for you!”

“Nonsense, it’s no trouble at all! Just think of it as one of my knightly duties” Louterstella said, he said it gently but sternly, leaving no room for you to argue with him.

With a heavy sigh, you agreed, knowing full well there was no changing his mind when he decided on something.

“This is going to be a loooong night”

————

For the rest of the day, Louterstella spent every waking minute nursing you back to health, and while you knew that there was nothing physically wrong with you, you had to admit that it did feel good to be looked after and taken care of by Louterstella, even if it was under false pretenses.

“How are you feeling, Y/N?” Louterstella asked, putting a wet cloth on your forehead, standing next to your bedside.

God, how crazy was that, Louterstella standing next to your bed? Louterstella’s in your room? Louterstella in your house?? The thought of it would have sent you blushing, but you tried to control it, knowing he would have mistaken your flustered face as sickness, and while you were happy to be taken care of, you didn’t want to take advantage of his kindness even more than you are.

“I’m feeling great Louter, you’re a really great nurse!” You complimented, you didn’t know if it was your mind playing tricks with you or what, but you could have sworn his face turned pink at your words.

“O-oh why thank you, but it’s really no problem, I used to take care of Klark a lot of times when we were younger” Louterstella said softly, rubbing his neck bashfully.

“I guess I like taking care of people that mean a lot to me” Louterstella continued, in a hushed tone. He said it so softly and quiet, yet there was no denying the genuine feeling behind his words, or the fact that his gaze on you lingered for a lot longer than it was appropriate.

Unfortunately for you and him, you didn't catch his lingering gaze or the double meaning behind his words, for you were too focused on the sibling comparison. Is that what he thought of you? Just another young sibling to take care of? Suddenly you felt your face start to heat up, but this time not from being shy and bashful, but from utter embarrassment and shame.

Here Louterstella was just trying to be a good friend and you not only completely misinterpreted his actions and words, but you also took advantage of his kindness and his hospitality. You're not even sick! And that's the only reason why he's here, because you're "sick", yet you foolishly deluded yourself into thinking of something that wasn't even there!

"Well I'm fine now, so you can leave" You replied curtly, you knew you were being cold for no reason, but you just couldn't help it. Now that you know how Louterstella really feels about you, it hurts too much to even look at him, much less be in the same room as him.

"Oh....yeah, I should probably get out of your hair then" Louterstella said in a dejected tone, taken aback by your cold words. Though he said he'll leave, he made no effort to do so, he just didn't get it, did he do something wrong? Were his feelings for you not clear enough? Or were they not convincing enough?

Never the one to sit there and not do anything about it, he made his way towards you, if words weren't enough to convince you, then maybe actions would get through?

Just as you were about to ask why he was leaning over you so suddenly, your words caught in your throat, as his lips crashed into yours. Overcoming your initial shock, you kissed him back just as intensely and passionately, you were overflowing with joy, cradling his face in your hands, your thumb gently tracing over his cheek.

Louterstella was the first to break the kiss, his was completely flushed, and you would have teased him about it, if yours wasn't flushed as well.

Still even with the adrenaline rushing through your veins, even with your heart about to explode from your chest because of the sheer happiness you felt, there was still something, you still didn't quite understand....

"Louterstella why did you..." You trailed off, not finishing your sentence, whether it was because of disbelief or because you were still in cloud nine to come up with a proper sentence, you didn't know.

"Kiss you? To be honest, I'm not sure about it myself... I really like you Y/N, maybe even more than a friend. This is all so new to me, I never had anyone that I was close to other than my brother and our Lord's, and then you came around, and then everything changed. I look forward to our hang outs, I like being around you, I don't know if that's considered love or what, but all I know is that I'm never lonely when I'm with you...." Louterstella confessed, his eyes never leaving yours for a second.

Your eyes widened at his confession, his words mirroring your own thoughts from not too long ago, the confusion, the embarrassment, the guilt, you understood it all.

Once he finished his confession, you pulled him into a warm embrace, which he happily accepted. No words were exchanged but there didn't need to be, because no amount of words could ever convey what you two were feeling.

For once, you weren't afraid of what the future had in store for you, because you knew no matter what happened, no matter if something would transpire between the two of you or not, you know you'll be okay, because Louterstella would be right by your side no matter the outcome.

And you wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
