author's note: happy easter to all those who celebrate! this drabble was heavily inspired by the song strawberry blond by mitski!! all feedback is appreciated and please reblog instead of just liking! yes, i know i use ‘blonde’ instead of ‘blond’… i just like the way the ‘e’ looks better lmaoo.. txt comeback tomorrow and i’m so excited!!! i hope you enjoyed this little drabble!! ♡

you knew what you were doing was going to lead to heartbreak, but at the moment you couldn’t care less. you and kai had planned a picnic in a nice field that the two of you had been visiting since you randomly found it as kids.

at the moment, you were listening to kai talk about this girl that he’s been going on about for months now. the wind was flowing smoothly over your skin from the open window, the spring breeze cooling you off. it was nearing summer now. “we have a date later today that i’m actually really nervous about,” kai spoke, his eyes briefly glancing at yours from the road. “i really really like her, y/n.”

you turned fully from the window to him. despite your heart fluttering at your name on his lips, you gave him a small grin as you said nothing. kai had pulled up to the field, which had saved you from answering anyway.

looking down to your hands in your lap as he parked, you tried to ignore the crushing weight of your heart. of course it wasn’t you he liked—how could you be so naive? this wasn’t some sort of fairytale. you still remember vividly overhearing kai’s conversation at the surprise birthday party you and your mutual friends had threw for him. “don’t be ridiculous,” he had said.

“i could never see them that way.”

you got out the car, looking over to see the top of kai’s blonde hair kiss the sunlight and turn golden. a smile formed on your face. as long as you had kai, that’s all that mattered to you. you didn’t need anything else—not this town, not this road, not this field. not even the sunshine, you’d much rather be clouded in darkness. just him.

grabbing the picnic basket and the blanket, you followed kai out to the field. the field was quite beautiful, the lush green grass was spread across the rolling hills with tiny multicolored flowers dotted about. it looked straight out of a painting that claude monet would’ve painted, and it belonged solely to the two of you.

jogging a little to catch up with kai’s long legs, a giggle slipped from your lips. kai looked at you with a small smile playing on his mouth, “what?” another giggle escaped you as he dodged out of the way of a bee, shaking his arm furiously as the bee tried to land onto his arm after. “they must think you’re a flower,” you replied.

you wouldn’t doubt it, he looked like a sunflower if you’ve ever seen one. blonde hair like honey and rosy cheeks as sweet as pie. kai chuckled, “why are they only going after me then? what about you?” he waved his hand in the air at you to insinuate you’re just as much of a flower as him. you shrugged, “must not be shining as brightly as you are.”

kai tilted his head at you and shook his head. he then wrapped an arm around your shoulder as you both continued your way to your spot in the field. “come on now, don’t say that! you shine just as bright as me, if not more. if anything, we shine brighter together!” you couldn’t disagree with that.

you laid the blanket out onto the grass and kicked your sandals off so you were barefoot, kai doing the same. you sat down onto the blanket and began taking out the wrapped food the two of you had prepared. the wind picked up just as kai went to lie down, flicking the blanket up. instead of laying on top of the blanket, he was now laying fully in the grass. either kai didn’t notice, or he didn’t care about the change.

“the clouds are so beautiful,” he breathed, tucking his arms behind his head. you placed the remaining food onto the blanket and scooted over slightly so you could lay down next to him. pointing, you grinned as you tried to ignore the heat rising in your cheeks, “look, that one looks like a duck!”

kai looked over to you and it made you realize how close the to of you were to each other. “a duck?” he asked incredulously, “that’s clearly a boat!” you returned his gaze with raised eyebrows. “a boat? maybe you should get a new prescription…” you shot back. kai playfully nudged you, causing the both of you to laugh.

you sat up and reached for the muffins you had bought. as you took a bite out of it, savoring the sweet flavor, kai spoke up. you turned to see that he was sitting up now, unwrapping a sandwich as he looked over the field. “i think she’ll really like it here,” he stated before taking a bite from the now unwrapped sandwich in his hand. raising an eyebrow, you lowered the half eaten muffin, “what do you mean? you’re bringing her here?”

“yeah, it’s breathtaking here,” kai shrugged as if what he just stated meant nothing. “she said she wanted something quiet but meaningful and this is absolutely perfect.” you abandoned your muffin in the empty space where it once sat in the container. he had your full attention now.

“but this is our spot,” you spoke slowly. it was as if you were trying to convince yourself that what you just heard come out his mouth somehow got twisted and you were trying to set the record straight. kai just nodded, adding nothing. so you did. “our spot—since we were kids, kai.”

kai nodded once more. “i know, y/n. what’s the issue here? it’s a field. we can find another field if you want to,” he furrowed his eyebrows at you and anger started to rise in you at the confusion in his voice. why didn’t he get it? even if you didn’t have any feelings for him, this was still your spot. your field—just the two of you. not the two of you and some girl.

“it’s not about finding another field. this field is suppose to be sacred—just for the two of us—and you want to bring some girl to our spot?” you practically seethed. desperately, you tried to control your tone, but the anger that had seeped through refused to be hidden. kai sat up straight and you knew you had made a mistake.

“it’s not just ‘some girl,’” kai said defensively. “she’s my girlfriend, and i can take her wherever i want to—even here. it’s just a stupid fucking field. it’s not even that special.” you opened your mouth to retort but all you could get out your mouth was a choked, “g-girlfriend?”

kai rolled his eyes at you, not hearing what you said, “save it, y/n. this is ridiculous.” he stood up from his spot in the grass and grabbed his shoes. kai began walking the path back to his car barefoot and you quickly stood to your feet. “you’re leaving me here? are you fucking serious right now, kai?” you shouted after him. kai continued, clearly ignoring you.

you watched as he got to his car and roughly flung the driver’s side door open. watched as he yanked his shoes back on and watched as he ripped out of the small gravel road and drove furiously away from you.

slumping to your knees, you let out a deep sigh. it looks like you’re walking home. you looked over to the spot in the grass where kai was just moments before. it was as if he didn’t even leave. the grass was still indented in the shape of him. your heart broke and your eyes watered as you reached over to softly touch the flattened grass.

packing up the food and the blanket, you tried your absolute hardest not to break completely. you knew this would all lead to heartbreak, and still—still you continued. foolish. you should’ve known better, maybe then all of this could have been avoided.

breathing out another sigh and looking over the field one last time, you began the walk back home. you were sure this was the last time you’ll ever be in this field again.

[beeneedssleep]

Had a dream where my roomie sent me this so I made it in real life.

Anyways happy birthday Claude von Riegan

[klausinamarink]

Hi Klaus! Ah, the birthday special is such a fun idea! If it's still available, I'll request:

You should have raised a baby girl, I should have been a better son

for Platonic Stobin

Happy early birthday! <3 Hope it's a wonderful year ahead -Jules

“Ok, I got another. If you were born a boy, would your parents still name you Robin?”

Robin snorted as she threw another almond in her mouth, “Oh, you should have seen their lists of names before I was born.” She shifted her seat on the couch and started counting off her fingers, “For their nonexistent son, there was Sebastian, Rocky, Thorn, Jay, Harry, Claude, Ethan, Todd, Luka-”

Steve already felt overwhelmed by the list. He almost interrupted but Robin was still going. 

“-Aloysius, Odysseus, and a couple more really obscure names. But the other ones they almost named me were Athena, Roberta, Viola or Violet, Crystal-”

Steve kicked at Robin’s shin, laughing, “You’re answering the wrong question!”

Robin kicked back before she too fell into laughter. Once she recovered, she wiped at her eyes and said, “Well, Robin wasn’t on the little boy’s list, so I guess that’s a no.”

“Oh god,” Steve moaned as he covered his face with his hands, “now that I know all of those other names, I’m afraid I can’t call you Robin anymore.”

An almond pecked him on the forehead. “Sure. Like you didn’t just already forgot all of them, dingus. Not that I’ll blame you.”

Steve peeked through his fingers, then took his hands off as he stretched up discreetly. “Yeah, you’re right. By the way, Viola, why didn’t you tell me your name was spelled Violet?”

Instead of taking his bait, Robin scowled at Steve and chomped on a few more almonds. Then she swiftly stole the pillow under his head so it bumped rather hard against the couch’s arm he was laying on. It didn’t hurt but he winced anyway.

“Robin!”

“I’m running out of ideas so I’m stealing your last question and making it my own. If you were a girl instead, what would your parents name you?

Steve answered immediately, “Stephanie.”

Robin blinked at him with surprise, “Wait, really?”

“I guess creativity is a Harrington weakness so,” he shrugged, “Steve for a boy or Stephanie for a girl.”

“Don’t tell me they did the same with your middle name.”

“Yep. Otis after my grandpa, Dorothy after my grandma.” He paused before adding, “They’re my dad’s parents. Not that my mom’s are bad, but I haven't seen them since I was, like, three.”

“Huh,” Robin said. Then they both fell into silence.

It didn’t take long for Steve’s thoughts to steer their way back to an old subject he hadn’t touched in ages.

The night after the fateful fight with Jonathan and the monster in his house, his parents had came home and his mother gasped at the state of his face. Steve had latched on the careful warmth she exhibited while she tended him in the bathroom. 

Steve had almost cried then. He had missed when his mother had dropped everything to take care of him whenever he was hurt. That was how she expressed the words ‘I love you’ to him without even saying it.

But his eyes had immediately went dry when his mother had looked at him and sighed like Steve was a stain on the kitchen napkins. 

Then she’d said, “If you were a proper lady instead, neither of us would be here.”

He had gone to bed, hollow and confused. Replayed her words over and over, thinking what did she mean?

And then it was like some floodgate was open. 

It didn’t matter if it was over the sparse phone calls or face to face, Shirley Harrington had found a new mission in making mournful quips towards her son of how much she had desired a daughter and how much better the never-born Stephanie would be.  

“More low grade this semester? A girl studies much harder than a classroom of boys anyway.”

“No more girlfriends? Oh, but a daughter of mine would keep a boyfriend for far longer than you had with that Nancy girl.”

“Why are you being more difficult these days, Steve? If you were a woman, you would know exactly how to keep quiet.”

And then came that fateful day when Steve had admitted to his dad that none of the prestigious colleges had accepted him. 

After his father’s fury continued to ring in Steve’s ears long after his departure, his mother had shook her head in tired disappointment and hovered to her reading room.

Steve had called out to her, trying to reach out and grab on the edges of her old warmth he desperately needed. He wanted to beg her for something. Anything simple like a hug.

But he’d asked her, “What if I was your daughter who got herself pregnant before graduation?”

It was such a ridiculous question. But Steve had been getting sick of his mother’s ‘what-if’ comments and wanted to retaliate anyways.

His mother had paused but answered so quickly as if she was waiting for the opportunity.

“Then I would marry her off to a bachelor and wish for a son instead.”

“But I am your son.”

“Your father wanted a son anyways.”

She had left him in the kitchen as if her words were a snide compliment at an art gallery. Like she hadn’t just dove her hands inside Steve’s hollow chest, found the remains of his heart, splattered the walls bloody-red with it so he would be surrounded by the proof of his mother’s love, and wiped her hands clean.

That was three months ago. But fuck, it felt like it had happened three hours ago. 

A poke on his knee brought Steve out of the churning void he was about to fall back into. Robin was looking at him with a furrowed expression that yelled ‘I am very worried about you right now, should we talk?’

“I’m okay,” Steve said automatically. He pinched the bridge of his nose and sat up.

“No, you’re not.” Robin said, mirroring him so they were now sitting side by side. She bumped her arm against his.

“No, I’m not.” Steve echoed wearily.

Robin dropped her head on his shoulder. A comforting weight. She didn’t ask anything which Steve found grateful. But he couldn’t bear to hide the new aching in his chest from her. It would make him a hypocrite after the Russian torture.

“I guess it’s kind of funny that my mom wanted a daughter but she still would be disappointed in me.”

Robin made a small sad noise in her throat but said nothing. Instead, she grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

“As much as I would fear the tyranny of Stephanie Harrington, I wouldn’t regret being her platonic soulmate.”

“With a capital P.” Steve finished automatically, a tiny smile forming on his face. 

“With a capital P.” Robin echoed with a warm smile.

They sat together like this for several minutes. Then, Steve turned to her and asked, “So would that mean you would get a crush on me for having boobies?”

The bowl of almonds immediately exploded in his face. Steve fell back to the couch, clutching his stomach as he howled with laughter and Robin yelled, “Way to ruin an emotional moment, Steve Dingus Harrington!”

12. Stephen: Two thousand, three hundred, and ten years after bonding ceremony There was no one to say his last words to: I'm coming home

When you all meet again

You woke up in a dazzling field of purple flowers. You sat up slowly, breathing in the fresh air. The field was completely empty and you got to your feet. Looking around carefully, you confirmed that you were alone.

Your feet seemed to move of their own accord, as though a magnetic pull was leading you across this field.

Your feet made almost no noise as you walked across this path, you and you noticed that you weren't wearing any shoes. Your feet felt the grass prickling and tickling underneath your feet.

At the edge of the field, the forest opened up to show a single house down in a valley.

It was huge, stretching from side to side, extending far back. It had a whole farm with animals and fruits trees and vegetable plants. The sun shone down brightly on the entirety. A stream of water cut through the back end of the forest, a smaller, though good sized cottage sat there.

Kids played all out on the front lawn, before looking up at you. They were all around the age of ten to fourteen.

"Moms home!" Vincent shouted. "Look, moms home!"

The kids ran up the slope towards you, while you ran down the slope towards them. You had missed them so badly. They had died so early as they hadn't been passed along the immortality gene- unless they were Thor and Loki's children.

"I knew I felt something." A long time hearing, but hugely familiar voice said.

Your eyes pricked with tears, spinning to see Rhodey there.

"James!" You said, tears streaming down your face, throwing yourself into his arms. He kissed the top of your head.

"Hey there sweet mama." He grinned.

"Y/N!" Thor laughed, sweeping through to pull you into a huge hug. Loki, T'Challa, Fury, Clint, and Sam followed behind quickly.

"Steve and Bucky love you." You murmured as Sam gave you the last hug.

"I miss them." Sam mumbled.

"They miss you too." you whispered, cupping his face, before kissing him.

"Hey, we have one last person." Clint said, pointing. "Well I mean, you know, one more group."

You grinned, running over and pulling Elizabeth into a hug. "Oh my God I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too." Elizabeth said with a watery smile. "Thank you so much for everything. For taking care of Minerva and protecting her. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." You murmured. "Where is Minerva anyways?"

"She's with Hogun." Elizabeth said with a smile.

"Good. I'm glad that he's here with you." You said softly.

Elizabeth's smiled was sad now. "I did get scared, when he killed himself. And I was angry at first, wanting him to stay for her, but I was glad for the company. Rhodey didn't show up until a little later."

"Is this. . . Heaven?" You asked.

Elizabeth paused and looked around. "Hmm, I don't really know. From what we've explored, it just seems like another world except. . . it's. . . brighter. It's happier. Although you can't have kids in this world. If you could, Hogun and I would have a thousand."

You giggled. "I'm glad that we're all here."

"As one family." Elizabeth finished.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

***

You woke up, feeling a tingly feeling in your stomach.

You quickly made your way out of the house, watching as Bucky walked over to the edge of the cliff. You sprinted up it, leaping into his arms. He hugged you tightly before laying kisses all over your face.

"I missed you doll."

"I missed you too Teddy bear." You mumbled.

You noticed that his metal arm was gone, a real flesh arm in place of it. You didn't feel disappointment this time. Here, you were all in your pure forms.

"Bucky!" Sam's voice was ecstatic behind you. The two of them collided in a fierce hug, teeth and tongue clashing as they tried to get as close as possible to each other. You were almost certain that they would rip each others' clothes off each other right then and there.

Now, you were only waiting on three more.

***

You were already with Sam and Bucky when the tingly feeling happened again, a year or so later. The three of you had been walking along the forest line and you raced back to the house.

"It's Steve, I can just feel it." Bucky panted. "I can feel him."

When you reached the top of the hill, you found that Bucky was correct, but both you and Sam did a double take.

While Bucky barreled in Steve's arms, you and Sam looked at his new body. He was about the same height as Bucky, instead of a few inches taller. He wasn't as muscular in the shoulders, more lean and thin. He didn't look sickly or scrawny, but he wasn't the wall of muscles that you had known.

"I know." Steve said, sounding almost apologetic as Bucky finally let him up off the grass. "It's different, isn't it? I've almost forgotten what Bucky looks like with a metal arm."

You sobbed, leaping into his arms. "Stevie you're home!"

"Yeah cookie, I'm home."

"Stevie." Sam mumbled, hugging him tightly, crying as well.

"Aww baby." Steve cooed, wrapping the both of us tightly in his arms. "Don't cry, everything's okay."

***

When Tony came, he came like everything was normal. His hands were in his pockets and he simply strolled along, not even pausing at the crest of the hill before sauntering down the hill like he owned the place. The only difference was there was no glowing arc reactor in his chest.

"Well don't you look a day over two thousand." He grinned, winking at you.

You giggled. "What a flirt."

"Guess I've still got it." He said, pulling you into a hug. "Fuck I missed you."

"I missed you too." you mumbled into his chest. "How's Stephen?"

"He's okay. He's grieving. I told him not to follow to soon after me. I didn't want him to kill himself like Steve did." Tony whispered. "But I'm afraid he will."

"Well, being in love for two thousand plus years is probably equivalent to when couples die a few months apart when they've been married for fifty plus years." You amended, "You know, the normal couples."

Tony chuckled. "Yes, but I do feel bad for the pain he's going through. I hope this gets easier."

"Once Stephen joins us, we're complete." You whispered. "There's no death in this world. You know I actually got to meet George Washington?"

"That's fascinating. I should call up Albert Einstein and Newton." Tony said, growing excited.

You giggled, "Call them up hmm?"

"Can we invent in this world? Gosh this is fascinating. Hmm, I wonder if the other world was a world for the dead as well, we just don't remember our previous lives. Wow, I wonder. . ." He immediately went off on a tangent that you quickly got lost in.

But that made everything feel like normal.

***

You and Tony were the ones to greet Stephen as he came striding out of the field. His hands were uncovered, and you noticed all of his scars were gone. He too was changed.

Part of you hated the changes. You hated that Bucky no longer had a metal arm. You hated that Steve wasn't the same. You hated the missing glow from Tony's chest. You hated Stephen's missing scars.

But this was the place for change. This was the new yous and the old yous put together. This was your new home.

"Stephen." A smile spread across your face in seconds, wrapping your arms around him. "Welcome home."

"Welcome home." Tony said, kissing Stephen passionately on his lips. "Did you do what I asked you to?"

"I did." Stephen nodded, wrapping one arm around you, holding Tony's hand.

"Are you going to tell me about it?"

"Every minute." Stephen promised and the three of you walked up to the house. "First I went parasailing. . ."

No, it wasn't actually perfect.

But that was what made it home.

5/28/24: Happy Birthday to Me! Happy to be traveling with my One and Only, G.O.A.T. husband Claude GOETZ! We were about to reach max sabbatical homeostastis, and then Claude came down with a nasty cold yesterday. By today, he was down for the count. He was a trooper, and we packed up and left our Pusada (government-run hotels in Portugal—really surprisingly nice!!!) in Arraiolos to drive to our next destination, Condeixa. But Claude was slowly fading, and I ended up driving (even though I am not on the rental contract…shhh). Stopped in Abrantes, to check out another lovely village with windy cobblestone streets and a castle on the hilltop. I dragged Claude up the hill to the Castelo Jardin, and put him to sleep on a bench. I took a walk around the castle, and entertained myself with experimental selfies. Am I getting any better at it? Anyway, Claude slept on the bench, slept in the car on the way to our next hotel in Condeixa, called Conímbriga Hotel do Paço. Claude slept until dinner. I went out to the beautiful pool, did some mini laps, and read my New Yorker. Claude hauled himself out of bed in time for our 8:00 dinner reservation in our hotel (he tested negative for Covid, shew!!). We had wine, fish soup, grouper and mushroom risotto with crispy bacon (YUH-UM), and the whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday to me…Claude was feverish and shaking by the time I got him back to the room, and he laid back down and yes, went to sleep. I will take a rain check on the wild birthday celebrating that we might have done if he were not so ill, and I will use the four(!!) drink vouchers the hotel gave me for my birthday. Maybe not tonight though. #StillGratefulAfterAllTheseYears.

So how do we feel about that update

because I'm obsessed

Sheds are changing my life. This is exactly what I wanted. I'm so happy.

(this got really long so I'll put my thoughts under a read more! spoilers for, the update I guess!)

I am speedrunning sheds immediately. I have already found some places to set them up and figured out how I can fit my entire crafting operations into 2 sheds. Now I just need to move over all the stuff in the chests in my one barn so that I can replace it with the shed and put the barn elsewhere.

Then I can use shed 3 for storage as I've wanted so badly so I don't need nearly so many hecking chests everywhere. Shed 4.... I actually don't know what I'll use it for yet. I actually have options! Maybe I will dress it up like a cute little room, or keep some of my pet collection in it, or fill it with stuffed animals, or see if I can make a cute little flower shop like Lavender would want.... I'm excited. I have options again. And assuming I can find somewhere else to put my other barn, that opens up a lot for me.

Also the barn upgrades are great. They don't take up any more space than before, they look cool, sure they give me more junk that I have to remove to fit more animals in but that's always the truth so it's neat. Now I have... ladders I guess. But I can store them in my shed!

But also. Nel'Vari barns. I am. SO excited

the moment I saw. that they had added in a frog barn animal. I knew. I would need Nel'Vari barns immediately. I love him I need 10 of these things right now immediately

All the new animals are so cute! I'm excited to get stuff set up so that I can put them places and gain their resources.

To that end, though, I realized that Nel'Vari barns were going to require me to actually do Progression that I hadn't done yet (because so far I hadn't really found anything I wanted that required Nel'Vari mines stuff. I knew I wanted to get there sooner or later, but just... didn't need to yet). I have a fire under my butt again and I'm actually making progress which feels amazing. Trying to seriously manage multiple farms is going to be a problem but what I really need to find a spot to do a massive amount of wheat production which will help with all the barns. It'll be complicated, but I'll figure it out.

uhhhhh oh yeah more RNPCs happened. They're cool! I like Kai, I've met him and I like his stuff so far as I've seen it. I haven't met Vivi yet but I can't WAIT to forcefully befriend her. Wesley is... Wesley. I'm happy for him. I'll befriend him eventually, probably while I'm in the middle of running around Nel'Vari doing mine stuff.

The house customization I haven't been able to play a lot with yet but I will more when I have my sheds figured out and money to waste. Playing Mix and Match should be fun, and I'm glad they're planning to put out more in the future! Even more stuff to look forward to~

Also now sometimes ghosts come and water my crops and I love them. Me and the ghosts are buds.

But also... this list... ohhhh man this list. I love this list. I'm p excited for most things on it but ESPECIALLY Farm Structures and WG and NV fruit trees. I LOVE fruit trees. I have a whole orchard section on my farm. Passive income is my JAM. Black market? Birthday? MORE RNPCs? I'm looking forward to all of these so much. Race-based dialog I know is something a lot of players have been looking for for a long time so I am interested to see how that gets put in! More dialog is generally good and they seem to have the personalities of the characters pretty well in hand so hopefully they'll just be fun fluff things and Lavender will finally be able to relate to Kitty and Catherine and they'll be best Amari buds forever (And then with Vivi too!)

Anyways I just wanted to spew my thoughts everywhere for a bit because I've been having so much fun again. Tell me your thoughts! Anything you don't like? What do you want to see in the future?

Bonus: Claude continues to have a hard time fighting the vampire allegations.

Chapter 3 - Oh Goddamn, Not Another Rockstar

Talk about me, make it all about you. Caught you ripping your jeans, and that's when I knew. You'd leave me dead if it'd set you apart, and I'm like, "Oh, goddamn, not another rockstar".

After the graffiti stunt, he was more careful. He told her she was pretty and adorable and fun to be around, he told her she was special. She couldn’t believe it. The most gorgeous person in the school and he was interested in her , no strings attached? It seemed to be too good to be true!

But like everything, it was. Sure, he was cool, popular, really different from every other boy who had ever vied for her attention. He didn’t get himself into trouble needlessly, he seemed so nice, he didn’t take more than she gave him. 

And he had given her a necklace this one time, a pink flower with a pearl center, and said that he wanted to date her. She said yes, obviously, who wouldn’t want to date Gorgeous Nathan from the gym club? It gave Marinette a… feeling in her stomach. She wanted to think it was good, but her gut kept making her extra aware of things. So did Felix’s warning.

As time went on, she noticed more.

He was very self-obsessed, more concerned with his reputation than remembering lunches or birthdays, anything like that, he openly complimented other girls that were ‘special’ and ‘amazing’, but why would Marinette have a right to be possessive over that? Sure, they were dating, but this was Nathan.

But then he’d apologize and everything would be okay. And they’d start the dance again. He’d flirt with other girls, he’d ignore her, he’d apologize and get her a gift, and then he’d ignore her again.

He spent more time with his friends and admirers than he did with her, but that was fine, right? He was really popular anyway. And that was all well and good. For a little while at least.

He's been a player since the cradle. Aren't I lucky 'cause he could have chosen any girl to fuck with? And he chose me, so I guess I should be grateful, no, no, no, no.

Marinette walked through the halls, looking for the spot where her locker was. She turned the corner and stopped as she passed Nathan and Claude. Claude didn’t look happy and Nathan looked annoyed, which was strange, considering they were really close friends, so she stuck around to eavesdrop. 

“–You can’t just do that to her.”

“What exactly is stopping me? We both know you won’t tell her.” He leaned on the locker above Claude’s face. “You can’t because I know too much, don’t I? You can’t risk it.”

“Is that supposed to be a threat?” Claude didn’t even blink, crossing his arms. “And I never even said I was going to do anything, you’re being overdramatic. My only point was that you’re using her and it’s not right.”

“It’s not my fault she’s boring as fuck, I have no need for her.”

“Oh, that’s funny, because you seemed to be obsessed with the idea of having her before you actually got her, now it’s like you don’t even care.”

“So?” Nathan shrugged. “She won’t give me what I want, I’m done with her.”

“So then actually tell her? You’re being an ass, don’t leave her in the dark about it, you’ll shatter her. And honestly, the fact that you’re using her to try to get something from her is sick, what the fuck is wrong with you?”

“Again, why should I care?” Nathan shrugged, straightening and adjusting his backpack on his shoulder. “It’s not my problem. And you’d do well to stay out of my business, got it?”

Marinette blinked tears out of her eyes, taking a breath to compose herself before turning around and running, heading to her classroom and sliding into Claude’s seat next to Alina.

“Hey, girl! Mad at Nathan again?” Alina tilted her head as Marinette sat down in a huff. 

“You should’ve heard what he said.” She was near tears as she turned to Alina. “He and Claude were fighting about it, I heard it.”

“Fighting about what?” Alina asked. Mari didn’t bother answering, staring at the desk in front of her.

Instead, Marinette watched as Nathan winked at her before sitting down. Alina wrinkled her nose. Claude got to where Mari was sitting, rubbed her hair sympathetically, and went to his usual spot by Nathan, not even glancing at him.

“Mar, I’m sorry.” Alina patted her shoulder. “That sucks.” She didn’t respond, turning to look at the teacher. Did that mean she focused on the lesson? Of course not. She could just figure it out later when she actually felt like thinking.

It seemed like forever had passed by the time class ended. Nathan got up and approached her desk, ignoring Claude and Alina glaring daggers at him. 

“Hey, Mari, you okay?” He asked with a model grin. She didn’t meet his eyes.

“You should’ve told me you didn’t want me around anymore, I shouldn’t have had to figure it out by overhearing you.” She glared at the desk in front of her.

“Babe, you don’t know what that was about. You know I love you, don’t doubt me like that, sweetheart.”

“What else would it be about?!” Marinette stood up. She felt small next to Nathan, but he was going to hear her if she had any say in it.

“Sweetheart, don’t make me out to be the bad guy here.” Nathan said, smiling sweetly at her. She didn’t blush. She didn’t even blink.

“Don’t even!” She glared. “I heard you! You’ve been doing this with me over and over again, just running away to someone else then coming back because you need something! I’m not an idiot!”

“Clearly you are if you think there’s something going on.” He rolled his eyes, losing his patience. “You have no idea what’s going on here.”

“ Ugh. Just leave me alone, Nathan! I don’t want you to keep toying with me like this! I should’ve just listened to Felix earlier.” She hissed.

“Listened to Felix? What’d he tell you?” He raised an eyebrow indignantly. 

“He told me that you’d do this! He told me you weren’t who I thought you were and why is it that he’s right? You told me you loved me and you pull this over and over again! How could you?” 

“Marinette.” Nathan growled, his tone getting dangerously aggressive. “You have no idea what you’re talking about. Felix is a liar. You stay away from him, you’re mine .”

“Make me.” She challenged. He growled, like an animal, and his hand went back like he was going to hit her. She winced.

“Nathan, back off.” Alina ordered, stepping in front of Marinette as Claude held his arm back in a warning gesture.

“Nate, don’t.” He warned.

“Get the hell off me.” Nathan snarled, shoving Claude into the desk behind them. Claude actually cried out when he hit it, causing Alina to go help him back up. Now that she was away from Marinette, Nathan saw his window and did the unexpected.

He grabbed Marinette’s shoulders and got up in her face. “I don’t want you to talk about Felix ever again .” He growled. 

“No.” Marinette said, trying to not look absolutely terrified. Nathan was huge. He could hurt her easily. She didn’t have a chance.

“ Excuse me? Marinette, you’re really starting to get on my nerves.” He said.

“Like you’re not getting on mine?” She did her best to glare. Nathan let go with one hand and hit her. He hit her. Marinette fell back into her seat, leaning on the desk as her hand shot to her cheek. 

“That’s it.” Alina growled. “You get away from her now.”

“Or what, you’ll tell the teacher?” He mocked.

“Nathan.” Felix said, his voice stern and cold, drawing everyone’s attention to the boy who, apparently , was still in the room. “You leave her alone, or I’ll tell Father .” He warned.

Nathan froze. “You wouldn’t.” He managed. Felix raised an eyebrow in challenge. “…Punk.” Nathan glared before leaving the room.

Felix grabbed his bag and walked over to Marinette. Alina pulled the girl closer to her protectively, not letting go until Felix pulled out a first aid kit. “Let me see it, Marinette.” 

“I’m okay, it’s just a bruise.” She said shakily, pulling her hand away. 

“You’re lucky he didn’t hit you with his ringed hand, it would have left a scar.” Felix said calmly. “Ms Leroux, could you get some ice from the cafeteria for her.”

“Yeah, sure thing. Be right back, Mar.” She pat Marinette’s shoulder before leaving the room.

“Do you have a headache, Ms Cheng?” Felix asked. Marinette didn’t miss the switch from first name to last name.

“No.” She replied. “You know, you don’t have to call me Ms Cheng. You can call me Marinette if you want.” She smiled. 

“I’d like to apologize for my brother… Marinette,” he started, “I couldn’t say much and you deserved better.”

“It’s okay, Felix, really. You warned me well enough.”

“I’d also like to offer an apology from me. I was worried about telling you too much and getting in trouble with Nathan. I should’ve done better.” Felix added. 

“It wasn’t your responsibility, Fe, don’t blame yourself for this mess.” She shrugged with a smile.

“He’s my brother, he is my responsibility.” Felix said dryly.

“Your savior is here!” Alina announced, striding into the room with a couple ice packs. “Think fast, Haprele.” She threw the bag at Claude, nailing him in the face with it. 

“Ow, fuck you.” He grinned playfully.

“That’s one way to ‘heads up’ it.” Alina shrugged, tossing the other bag to Felix.

“Thank you.” Felix said, catching the ice pack. He pulled off his black tie and wrapped the ice pack in it before gently touching it against Marinette’s bruised cheek. “Hold that there, it should help with the swelling.” 

“You’re… nice, Felix. I didn’t know that.” Marinette chuckled. 

“I do my best not to be.” He offered a smirk in response, letting his gaze meet hers for a second before focusing back on her cheek.

“How come?” She asked, blushing as she averted her eyes too.

Felix paused. “I always thought people were a distraction. That they created problems for me and that I was better off alone. But… I suppose you just need to find good friends to realize… they’re not so bad.” He said softly, a light blush rising to his cheeks.

“Well, I’d love to be your friend if you’d let me.” She smiled.

“I think I’d like that.” He blushed, looking down quickly.

“Get a room.” Alina and Claude groaned in unison before snickering.

Felix shot them his usual cold glare, then paused and changed his reaction to a cold “shut up” instead. Marinette giggled. 

“Friends then?” She asked, offering him her hand to hold his.

“Friends.” He agreed, shaking her hand instead. Close enough. She thought with a smile.

if you’ve read this far, thanks! This chapter got written to fill in the ‘no’ prompt from @marithanmarathon (tomorrow’s prompt), but it might not count because it’s part of a bigger Marithan fic lol

"Happy birthday, Marianne."

Claude nods in greeting with his trademark smile, extending a small gift towards Marianne. It was wrapped in a thin, pale parchment and tied with a haphazardly tied bow, royal blue in color and lopsided on the right side.

"Hopefully I'm not too late to the party--Er, lack of it, anyways. I figured you'd prefer a simpler surprise instead." For a moment, his smile becomes near sheepish, scratching the back of his head with a quick glance downwards towards the gift. "Still..." He clears his throat before he continues, "I think you'll like it."

Inside the gift was a book, a bit bigger than average in size, with the cover detailing various depictions of life-like birds. Scrawled across the top was a title in thin, gold letters that mentioned the words 'Field Guide' in fine print beneath.

"I bought this from a merchant the other day. It talks about types of birds you can find around here and how to identify them and what they eat and what they sound like--Stuff like that. I figured you could use it for your flying friends." The notion makes him chuckle slightly to himself before finally adding, "But whatever you decide to do, I hope you can find a good use for it."

ORIGINAL A.U (i think :v)

This is au is a little bizzare of the promised neverland (or yakusoku no neverland) and kuroshitsuji (black butler) in the mansion phantomhive, Sebastian gives Ciel a letter, saying it was given by an unknow person, Ciel thinks is someone on name of the queen and decides to open it.

the letter talks about an "strange" orphanate, what despise that the children lives as an happy and comfy way, theres someting rare, and the misión of Ciel is discuber what it is and how to help children who live there. what catches Ciel attention is that the orphanage its from another world, but at the end of the letter is the Undertaker's name in, he thinks is a stupid joke.

when its appears Ciel was going to total ignore the letter, Undertaker says he was gonna be there yes or yes, that he doesn'ts have a choice. Ciel seeing that will be going agaist his voluntary, stars remember the children of the circus arc of noe, and a little of his past, convincing himself to go, but tomorrow. :v

on the night, Ciel asks himself what as rare the orphanage where kids lives as a way happy and comfy, until he falls asleep, and for power of magic shinigami and the power of the screenplay... ¡boom! ¡wake ups on of the beds from gracefield! \>:D/

The first person he sees is Emma, who Ciel though was a boy, then he notices she's just a girl with a short hair, without understad anything, Ciel goes down the floor of the house until he meets with Sebastian, who is also confused. literally he was vigilating the mansion in the night until everything turned blurred and by front of him there was Isabella and then he meets with the children who calls him "dad".

sebastian doesn'ts understads, Ciel doesn'ts understads, nobody understads, but ciel remembers undertaker told him someting about the orphanage with someting weird, and seeing so many kids with white uniformes (and the fact hes using on) gets to know that at some way, they get to go there, someting weird is that the children as numbers on the left of their necks, someting that sebastian was the firts to notice this and when he revised ciel's neck, notices he as the number "141294" ( i don't know how the numbers works on the anime so i just put the day of his birthday and thats it xd.)

anyways, Ciel notices that they are two centuries in the future. tag it, (where he almost lost a lung), washes clothes for the firts time of is life, ¡lives a normal orphanage life!.. ¿or no?.

comes the day of Conny's adopción and everyone knows she forgets her bunny, so Emma with Norman and Ciel goes to give it and.. they knew everything, ciel tolds Sebastian to investigate everything about the place and with that seduce Isabella (someting at the begining hard but not imposible) and they end doing ✨things.✨

and thats how its born the bizzare ship from this bizzare au, "Sebastianbella". XD

Sebastian takes information from Isabella, and tell ciel like a good gossip- i mean, butler. and now that Ciel knows the truth with Emma and Norman (then Ray) they planned their escape.

Now, you may be thinking, "¿doen'ts everyone think it is weird that two randoms appears of nothing?" Let me answer that cuestión... NO. ¿Why? because Undertaker took it upon himself to stuff cinematografics on everyones memorys, and with that, he made an history and everything speaking about historys, i will tell you about Sebas :D

Sebastian was a cattle boy, along with Isabella and Leslie, and being Claude's younger brother, where they get along like "dogs and spiders". xd But those are small details. Leslie was adopted, Claude was "adopted" and Isabella we already know what happened to her. And finally Sebastian was left alone... until his 12th birthday. There they offer him training to be "dad", this is only offered to girls but Sebastian was an exception. And also, being a man, he would help with the reproduction of children (they prostitute him, in a nutshell). 🕴 He meets Isabella, they grow up, and there comes a time when they fall into their carnal desires and... we already know what happens. And so Ray was born! HA HA HA \>:D/ Now analyze, if Sebastian is a demon, and Ray is his son... then that means... Ray is a demon too! >:D (That's why I say that this AU is kind of bizarre xd). Leaving details aside, Ciel goes to Lambda along with Norman. Where there they would use Ciel as a project for the other farms called "cloning". Where they had to subject Ciel to physical tests that instead of strengthening his body, weaken it. Do you remember Claude? It's a Lambda Scientist! Since, like Sebastian, he demonstrated a knack for science (although he had to be a guinea pig first). If Claude is here, Alois is here too, on one occasion Ciel comes to meet Alois. Alois is a Lambda experiment who has lived in that lab all his life, he didn't know about the farms until Ciel told him. When it looks like Ciel is ready to start the cloning project, the scientists decide to start at DAMN 11 PM. WHO THE FUCK WORKS AT THAT TIME?! Well, obviously Ciel won't let him and Sebastian takes him out of Lambda and that's when they part ways again. What they don't know is that they will be separated for two long years...
