PERISHED ROSE, perished beautifully

Since the day those things took over, they told you you were destined for only the best, and you were the most perfect creature on the planet they had taken over.

You would lay on the fake grass in the most expensive attire fit for royalty while everyone else was in white rags. Everyone looked at you as if you'd be their savior, but where you looked was at the floor, not even bothered by the people surrounding you, wanting to touch you, be saved by you.

Your voice was like nails on a chalkboard to me, your blank face was one of disgust to me, your nonspeaking tongue was an open invitation to me.

What would it take for you to have a different reaction? With your face so blank, like a canvas, it needed to be painted with a new emotion.

I approached you, but you don't even look at me; your eyes are always on the artificial green at your feet.

Nothing made you angry, happy, uncomfortable, or fearful because you knew nothing could happen to you; those things wouldn't allow it.

We had a connection.

Winter came, making the rose wither.

It was another song, you on stage with that stupid face. You were up against one of the top three, not that it mattered since you had always been number one. You were perfect after all.

You both belonged to the same thing, owner; it said it wanted to know who was truly the best, even if it costed a pet.

Who knows what the blonde was telling you for you to break that blankless face. Anger never seen before, it was a true look of hatred as you grip your instrument.

When they dragged you away, I could only think, why wasn't it me? Why couldn't I get that reaction out of you? Like a baseball bat swinging your instrument at me and taking what's yours, my life, It was the only way to truly go out.

Whatever words reached your ears that day by the true savior flicked an impossible switch in your brain for you to swing at various living beings that day; of course, who would mind? Their lives belonged to you.

After the 16th life they finally put the bullet through your head.

It was bitter, such emotion, but it wasn't caused by me. It was the insane glare of hateful emotions directed at someone else. What did he have that I don't?

Every human scattered, terrified of their savior being replaced by a monster, a cold, heartless charmer who took first place. What would they do without you?

But they do not understand how truly lost I am without you. It's not fair for humans to think they had connection with you.

You only spoke one sentence since those things took over.

"Ivan. When I die, I want to die perfectly. It's only fitting for a perfect rose like me."

I always hated you in a way. The way you never reacted to anything, but that day you spoke you had an emotion I still can't identify.

My goal was to make you have a reaction toward me or anything before you died. I never knew why.

I never knew what it was.

"Tonight, the perfect rose will die ugly, and a better one will bloom beautifully.

I finally rid of you and make that freak always by your side watch."

To Be Changed, Logan Walker x Reader

Your marriage was so happy and perfect, even though the world wasn’t. Despite the fear of your whole wedding being destroyed before you and Logan even put on the rings and said your vows, that didn’t stop either of you. If you were going to die, you might as well die tied to one another, surrounded by the people you treasure most. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. The wedding went without a hitch, ignoring the occasional pitches of anxiety that bubbled in everyone's stomachs. There was a beautiful mountain that overlooked a nearby beach, it felt like the clouds parted just for you two that day. The sun shone down on the white you and Logan wore. The red rose in his breast pocket, the artificial one you gave him when you went on your first date, was accentuated by the surrounding colors of blue water and green grass. 

Logan was usually fairly quiet, but that day when he said his vows, he spoke more than you did. He managed to avoid stuttering, though you could feel his hands shaking. You were so proud of him and each word from his lips warmed your heart. That alone let you know that this was the right decision, the only one. 

Before you cut the cake, he whispered to you, “I can’t find the words to describe how much stronger you make me feel.” You looked at him, confused and curious, before he continued. “I barely speak to my own family and brothers, maybe because I don’t need to… but you changed that. Now, I’m just droning on and on about whatever’s happening at the moment. Because of you. Hell, my mom barely heard me talk this much.” He wrapped his arms around you, cupping your hands that held the knife for the cake. “I bet she’s watching us now. She’d love you so much.” And with that, you both cut the first slice. 

A quote floated through your mind, “To be loved is to be changed.” and by God, did you change Logan.

That’s what made today so painful.

That’s why you sat on the floor in front of the front door to you and Logan’s home. That’s why David held you, holding the back of your head so you didn’t see him silently crying while you sobbed. You held Logan’s mask and dogtags close to your heart. Eventually, Keegan and Merrick had come out of the car they drove here. Keegan knelt down to rub your back, attempting to comfort you as best as he could. Merrick told you more than he, as a Captain, should tell any civilian. He’d made an exception for you. Seeing as he had a job to protect his best friend's children in the most dangerous job they could all have now, you joked that Logan and David were his adopted kids.

He never denied it. Because of that, you might as well have been his adopted kid, now in-law too. And as that in-law, it was his job to tell you that Logan was, for better or worse, not dead. You looked up at him with tears still falling. He explained what happened from the beginning. A man, a horrible man, named Rorke who was a former Ghost that the Federation destroyed and turned into something repulsive. David added that it was Rorke who had dragged Logan away on that beach. That fucking beach. He explained how it was his own fault for not doing more, for not saving him despite his injuries that, even now, two weeks after, he was still healing from.

You almost slapped him. You wanted to slap Merrick too. You were heartbroken and afraid and every negative emotion you could possibly feel nearly boiled over. You sat on the couch, the men around you as they tried to help you breathe. When you calmed down enough to speak coherently, you asked a simple question:

“Will we ever see him again? Alive?”

Merrick answered, as hopeful as he could be.

“We’ll do everything we can to make sure we will.”

That’s all you could really ask for. David moved and carefully dug into his front pocket before he pulled out his hand and offered something small and shiny. It was Logan’s ring. Both of your rings were made of titanium for its durability, Logan was worried about scratching or otherwise damaging it, so he chose titanium. Strong and durable. You had told him it reminded you of his personality, how he just kept going under all circumstances. You would’ve started crying again if this alone hadn’t already exhausted you. As much as you wanted to hold all of Logan’s things to try to feel like he was with you, you handed his mask and dog tags to Hesh. You knew where the mask came from. Who originally wore it.

“I think they’d want you to hold these.” you said, quiet as ever. David knew you weren’t just talking about Logan, but their father, Elias the “Scarecrow”, as well. He grabbed the mask and tags, putting the tags on and clutching the mask like a lifeline. As everyone stood up and walked to the door, you hugged David and whispered to him, your voice still shaking.

“It’s not your fault. I know he doesn’t blame you. I don’t either.”

“Thank you,” He paused, “I’ll do everything in my power to bring him back to you.”

You hugged Merrick and Keegan before they walked back to the car.

“Be safe!” You called out. A useless but well-intentioned farewell to the soldiers. They waved back before pulling out of the driveway, leaving you alone.

That night, you took Logan’s ring and put the chain of your favorite necklace, one he had given you before your marriage, through the ring and laid it around your neck. You cried, holding his cold pillow and wearing an old hoodie you’d stolen from his closet while he was gone. Your body ached with every sob.

Three months later, you began cleaning the house before the depression that kept you in your room most of the time got too bad. It helped a little, going through every nook and cranny. You even went into the attic. Any time either of you traversed into the usually dark storage, it would end with you holding the giant vacuum, claiming you saw a spider the size of your head while Logan chuckled. After a bit, he’d go up with a flashlight only to find some critter that got stuck up there because of a hole. Once he’d patched up the hole and cleaned out as much as he could, it all felt more comfortable.

As you looked through old boxes, you found pictures. The oldest going back to when you both first met. It was a charity for veterans in your old town where Logan, David and Elias were stationed. There were games you and your friends played, competing. At one point, Elias jokingly joined in which pulled David and, naturally, Logan. As the night went on, you and Logan got closer. He barely spoke but his chuckles at your comments were enough for you.

“I was so close to winning! You gotta give me credit for that!” You argued, cheeks hurting from smiling so much. You turned to see Logan looking at you, his brow raised and smirking.

“How? You’re 25 points behind me.” He remarked.

“I would’ve won if… if I had been playing with someone other than you!”

“Like who?”

“One of my friends, probably Ash!”

“You have 10 points.” Each time the tiny basketballs went in the hoop, it was 5 points. 

“Yes and I would be 10 points ahead of them which means I would win!” He practically wheezed at that as you giggled. You looked  over to see David and Elias staring at the both of you, wide smiles plastered on their faces.

You kept looking through the box. Finding photos from the day you met Keegan and Merrick, then the day you visited Mrs. Walker’s grave for the first time. You stared at that picture of Logan and David sitting together in front of the stone. It was so peaceful.

You held the photo to your chest and thought of Logan. You whispered to yourself, “Please, please protect him. Keep all of them safe. I just want them to be happy… Elias and Diane, please watch over all of them.”.

Another three months later, you hadn’t heard from David, Keegan, Merrick or any other military personnel. It had been a total of eleven months since you last saw your husband. You were Logan’s emergency contact and many people aside from the Ghosts knew you, so if something happened then someone would contact you. This should be comforting. No one calling you means no one’s dead, right? Nothing bad. So why were you so anxious? You couldn’t reach anyone so maybe something did happen and-

Your phone rang. It was David. You answered immediately.

“David? What happened? Where have you been?”

“Come outside, I have to show you something.”

It’d been a long time since you ran that fast. David sat in his truck, as you ran over to the passenger side, he leaned to open the door from his seat. As soon as your door closed and you buckled in, he began driving.

“David, what’s going on?”

He inhaled through his nose, you noticed how hard he was gripping the wheel and that he was going a bit fast. He was a careful driver normally. If he was amongst civilians, he was calm and never dared going above the speed limit in case there was a child or a dog or pedestrian walking when and where they shouldn’t be. This drive, however, was different. Something happened.

“We got him.” He looked at you, your eyes wide as they slowly filled with tears. “He’s back.”

“W-when did he get back?” You stuttered.

“Almost two weeks ago-” You opened your mouth to speak but David put his hand up. You waited. “Knowing Rorke and his history, we kept Logan on base to heal some and do some mental evaluations.”

“David…”

“I need to warn you right now, he’s not gonna be the same man you knew before all this shit happened. He’s gonna have a lot of recovering to do.”

David went on to explain Rorke and what the Federation did to him. You were quiet.

“Did he do all of that to Logan?”

“We aren’t sure. We just know that whatever it was wasn’t good. He’s clear to come home today if both of you are ready, but I just needed to tell you.” Good thing the house was clean.

“Thank you, David. I know this has probably been harder on you than anyone.” David tried to laugh.

“I mean it’s my job-” You put your hand on his shoulder.

“You know what I mean. Thank you. Seriously.” He exhaled slowly, he seemed to relax a little.

“You’re welcome.”

“You can come by whenever you like if Logan comes back. Maybe just give me a warning, ok?”

“I will. I promise.”

David parked the truck after you checked in at the front gate. Your heart beat rapidly despite the slow walk through the base. You recognized some of the men and gave a half-hearted wave when they greeted you. You could already tell. They knew why you were here.

You walked into the base hospital. David took you down numerous hallways you knew there was a chance you’d see one day but never expected, never wanted to walk down. But this was for Logan. David opened the door to the room you stood in front of.

You couldn’t tell if your heart was breaking or if you were having a heart attack or what…

There he was, sitting against the bed he must’ve been in since returning, looking at you.

Logan was in a hospital gown, his arms and legs below the knee exposed. The skin was covered in jagged scars and stitches that were still such a dark and aggressive red. Along with that were numerous bruises, a painful variety of purples, yellows, and green in some spots. His right arm in a cast and sling. On his other hand, his ring and finger are wrapped, probably broken or dislocated. You notice how his left shoulder and upper arm seem to be wrapped with gauze. You don’t want to imagine what injuries he must have that you can’t see.

His face. His handsome face. He looks so tired. Logan turned towards you and tried to limp over, using the bed for stability. You rushed forward instinctually. Once he was close enough, he slowly wrapped his unbroken arm around your back. You looked at him. He had dark circles under his eyes, faded bruising on his left cheekbone, two intersected scars ran across his face. One started between his eyebrows to his cheek. The second from the middle of his chin, across his lips until it passed the other scar on that same cheek. His skin was cool and pale, unlike the warm complexion he had prior to the kidnapping. 

You ended up staying for about two hours before you got a list of medications from doctors, some extra gauze wraps and a pamphlet detailing how to handle a deep second degree burn at home. That was why his shoulder and arm were wrapped. You said goodbye to David, Keegan and Merrick soon after.

The first few weeks, Logan mostly stayed in bed. Every day you checked his injuries, the stitches and the burn, to make sure there was no infection and they were healing properly. By the fourth week or so, the burn had healed, leaving behind a large patch of discolored skin. At nearly the sixth week, his cast was removed. His arm and fingers had healed well and correctly. David had told you that when Logan was taken, his arm was broken. When he was found, his arm had healed incorrectly as a result of improper care, assuming any care was given, so the doctors had to re-break it before putting it in the cast. 

After the seventh week, Logan was able to walk around without limping. However, he mostly just stayed in your room. Sometimes, you’d spend the day in the living room in hopes it would coax him out. It didn’t work. You cooked his favorite meals but he would usually bring the food back to the room. When it was time for bed, you essentially snuck around the room to avoid scaring him in case he was sleeping. You were pretty sure he wasn’t sleeping, at least not as much as he should’ve been. It remained this way for a few more weeks.

A month and a half into Logan being back home and he’d uttered a scarce amount of words. “Okay”, “alright”, “yes”, “no” and whatever else kept his sentences short. He barely talked to you anymore. Of course, you kept David updated as often as possible. You felt like he just wasn’t there. Now, he was more of a ghost than ever.

Two months in and he started going to the base again. For what? You don’t know. You had asked where he was going, dressed in his “soldier getup” as you called it.

“I’m going to work. Can’t be late. I’ll be back later.” He’d stated hastily before heading out. This continued on for another two weeks until you decided to talk to him before he left.

“Logan, honey, can we talk?”

“Um… sure, but I have to leave before 9.” He was trying to rush again.

“I wanted to ask about that actually…” He looked at you, mostly expressionless. “You were just gone for almost, what, six months? Why are they having you back at work when you might as well have just finished actually healing?”

“I… There’s still work to be done.” he stuttered. You cocked your head. You turned to him from your position on the couch.

“What work?” you asked slowly and quietly. You knew he wasn’t lying. You didn’t want him to think you thought he was lying. You wanted to keep the conversation calm so he wasn’t overwhelmed.

“It’s a lot. I don’t think- right now isn’t the right time.” he began to turn.

“We can talk later if that’s better, but I just want to know. I’m worried about you.”

“You don’t need to worry, I just need to do some things.” His voice carried no emotion. He was almost at the door when you stood suddenly.

“Logan, I just want to understand!” Logan stopped in his tracks. You stared at his back. “I want to just talk, please… I know your job is important and I don’t want to get in the way with complaining…” Your voice cracked. You wrapped your arms around yourself. Logan was here, in the same house as you. You stared at him but you felt lonelier than ever. “You’re so far away, Logan… and… and I know there was so much that happened and we didn’t know if we’d ever see each other again, but we’re together now!” You walked closer to him. He heard your steps but he stayed still. “We don’t have to act like nothing happened. We couldn’t if we wanted to, I know that… but please talk to me again. I married you because I love you. I married you and everything that came with you. I said those vows and ‘in sickness and in health’ because even when you’re hurting, I’ll be there. I’m here right now! But I need you to let me be there. I need you to stop hiding yourself away from me. I want to know you again, Logan.” Your breathing had picked up as tears welled up in your eyes.

Time just stopped. You turned and sat back on the couch facing away from him. You quietly wept into your hands as everything just seemed to spill over. You had reached your boiling point. You didn’t hear the footsteps coming to you until you opened your eyes and noticed the giant boots that faced your much smaller feet. A large pair of hands slowly removed your hands from your face, one tilted your head up.

You saw Logan’s beautiful eyes, a sort of hazel that seemed gold in the light. He slowly knelt down in front of you and hugged you. Not like the barely there hug he mustered at the hospital when he couldn’t even walk on his own. He pulled you tight against him and you immediately curled around him as you sobbed. He let you. Logan pulled back after a moment and held your face. He wiped your tears with his thumbs. 

“I love you too… more than anything.” He stared into your reddening, tear-filled eyes for a moment before sighing as he sat next to you. You held his hand, his thumb stroked your knuckles as he thought about his next words. “A couple days ago,” he started, “something happened. I can’t tell you what yet but it was cause for concern. Especially with Ghost team.” He paused and looked at you, directly into you. “I want to tell you everything, but it’s going to be a lot to process and it’ll probably be scary. I don’t want you to deal with this, with all the problems coming to us because of Rorke but you’re right to want to know what’s happening and you deserve to know.” You looked at the time, 8:55 A.M. You stood, Logan followed, still holding your hand. He pressed your hand against his chest and over his heart.

“I love you.” You whispered.

“I love you too. I’ll talk to Merrick today and I’ll try to get home as early as I can. We can talk about everything while we make dinner.”

“Together?”

“Together. I’ll call you if anything comes up and if you need me to, I can get groceries, ok?” You nodded. This is all you asked for. You hugged Logan tightly as he wrapped himself around you. You walked him to the door where he kissed you goodbye, on the lips. It felt like it had been forever since you’d done that. You stopped him before he moved. He almost retorted when you pulled off the necklace you still had on. He stared at the ring hanging from it. You took the ring off and put it back on his hand. He stared at it for a moment and smiled. A tired little smile that took so much weight off of you. Logan grabbed the necklace and took the time to put it back around your neck before he kissed you again.

“Thank you.” He whispered, still smiling. You smiled back as he walked to the car, waving when he began to drive. It had only been 10 minutes at most but those 10 minutes were so freeing. The rest of the morning you spent outside, reading and occasionally texting your friends when they checked in. The sun warmed your skin and the air was so fresh. You went back inside around 3 P.M when Logan called you:

Logan: “I can come back home around 6 tonight.”

You: “Sounds good, any ideas for dinner?”

Logan: “I could really go for lasagna.”

You: “Can you stop at the store on your way back? I have a list!”

Logan: “Yeah, just send it to me.”

With that, you texted everything you needed before moving to clean up the kitchen and free up space.

Later that night, Logan returned with everything you asked for plus a tub of ice cream. Your favorite flavor. You got to cooking, boiling the sheets and preparing the sauce while the oven preheated. You cooked together, like old times. It had been so long. Music quietly played as you both took turns tasting everything. A little extra salt and paprika here, with some pepper too. You laid down the floppy lasagna sheets while Logan poured the sauce over top then you both spread your favorite cheeses before adding more sheets and so on. While the lasagna was in the oven, you sat on the couch together. Logan held you in his arms as you stroked the hair on the back of his neck. After savoring the peace of the moment, Logan started talking.

When he was kidnapped, Rorke had put him through the same trials he himself had experienced. Being force fed poisoned food was the start until Rorke seemed to grow bored and eventually forced him to eat the plants the poison had been extracted from. Logan told you everything. All the grim details. At some points, you actually felt nauseous just hearing the horrors. When he was almost done talking about what he was forced to endure, you just held him and continued to encourage him to talk. He held you tight as he explained. The beatings he was put through. The way his arm healed wrong and he could hardly use it without feeling pain.

Then he looked at you. You felt so fragile with the way he looked at you with his tired eyes. He spoke again.

“Rorke knows about you.”

You never met this man in your life, never saw pictures. But he was like a boogeyman. He could appear from under your bed at any moment. 

“His soldiers… left us a message… Threatening to take me again. They said this time they’d take you too.”

That’s why he was going back to base. To work with his brother and everyone to make sure nothing happened. You didn’t live far from the base but they were thinking about bringing you on post to be cautious. That’s why Logan went back to work so soon. To protect you. That’s why he was telling you all of this now, to further protect you.

You were scared. Hearing about something like this happening was one thing, but knowing the man who stole your husband and almost broke him from the inside out was completely different. Especially when you knew that he wanted you too. Oh god. Logan held you and told you that the two of you could always move on base where you’d be protected and closer to him. You’d be amongst him and the other soldiers and Riley, Hesh’s dog. They wouldn’t let anything happen. And so you agreed. That night you just focused on being together, holding one another and eating your delicious lasagna as you reminisced together. 

Over the course of the next week, you brought as many of your necessities over to base where you and Logan continued living together. You met some friends of his and their partners, gaining your own group of friends not long after moving. Some had even assisted in bringing more of your things over when Logan had to work.

Later down the line, the Ghost team flew out. You weren’t told anything about what the mission entailed, but when Logan came to you, mask on, and put his ring in your hand before kissing you goodbye, you had an idea.

“I will make sure no one, not a single person touches you. Not a single damn person. I will keep it that way. I promise.” He whispered, voice more stern than ever. 

Your friends on base were all a wonderful support system during the next week they were gone for. You weren’t able to reach out again but you believed in them. You took care of Riley, who’d grown to love you.

When the week was done, they came back and Logan had made a beeline for you. You were reading, his ring back on your necklace when the door opened and your husband walked in, covered in dirt and other unidentifiable muck and alive. You rushed to jump into his arms and kiss him, ignoring the weird taste of said dirt in your mouth. You gave his ring back, ignoring the dirt that was on his hands too. While you held him, he whispered in your ear, “It’s all over now. We can go home.”.

So you did. David, Keegan and Merrick were kind enough to assist with moving your things back over and checking your house for anything that wasn’t meant to be there, anything that indicated a break in. Shit, they’d even checked the vents too. When that was all done, you made lasagna for them and spent the evening laughing together and savoring the peace that had finally come over the world again. Later, you and Logan laid in bed together, happy as ever and whispered sweet words to each other. Both of you could finally get some rest.

The end, thank you for reading! I will also post this on my ao3 @ RiversSong82

i wish you roses.

“jiwoong, they gave me another!”

it was in first grade when you became friends with jiwoong. your teacher had given your class a seating plan and you'd been put next to him. you hadn't really spoken with jiwoong before that day, but you were generally a shy kid, usually opting to quietly colour during recess instead of going out into the playground.

he was one of the more boisterous kids in your grade, known for his visuals that swooned every female in the campus.

you remember the very first words jiwoong ever said to you, "that's a pretty drawing." he complimented, watching intently as you messily continued to scribble the green chalk as you coloured in the grass. you’d drawn an artificial yellow sun in the top corner of your page and a little red house on a hill in the middle with roses around it. a simple drawing, but one that you proudly gave effort to.

“another bouquet of roses?,” his voice beams from behind, gazing at the flowers in your hand, “i guess they really like you.”

“they’re so sweet.” you comment and hugged the bouquet to your chest.

jiwoong felt giddy inside seeing you so happy these fast few weeks. he couldn’t lie when he said he doesn’t have a crush on his best friend though that story is a bit cliché. him telling matthew he had no guts to confess, his friend suggested to just hinting and be secretive.

the flashbacks of him seeing you drawing roses for the first time came back and he had an idea of giving you flowers twice a week.

“i wish i could tell that how much i appreciate them.” placing them back in your locker and locking it.

the tall male beside you only hummed in response but was panicking inside. it has been exactly 24 weeks of him giving and wishing you roses, he wasn’t ready to be revealed.

he felt insecure to confess to you. you were absolutely an angel — perfect, friendly, popular, smart and active though he was the same, he felt that the love was all you. lecturers respected you and juniors, they look up to your kind actions.

while jiwoong was just an ordinary handsome man that plays that typical male character in the story. he plays basketball and is on the way on becoming a model for his good looks.

“hey y/n,” seeing a male from afar, he was waving at you with a small smile, “saw you holding roses, secret admirer huh?”

a scoff leaves your lips, “hey seunghwan, yes and i really really wanna find out who this is.”

“okay then i’ll help keep guard for your locker.”

that made jiwoong’s heart drop to the stomach in panic. he eyes seunghwan and you who were talking amongst each other and joking around. he swore he was going to pass out any moment but still kept his blank stoic-like face.

“i have to get to cinema club, see ya jiwoong, hwan!” you walked away, holding onto the books pressed to your chest.

jiwoong’s orbs followed your figure that was walking giddily to your specific location. he adored you. the way you spoke to him, the way you look at him, the way you always act kind and friendly towards others, the way your leadership brings everyone together and the way whenever he sees you, his smile just widens even more.

a hit on the chest made him caught off guard — seunghwan looking at the male suspiciously and eyeing him up and down with his hands in his pockets.

“you’re the admirer right?” the sudden question made jiwoong’s eyes widened in surprise.

then, the black haired male gripped the back of seunghwan’s collar, dragging his friend at an empty hallway that was gloomy and dark.

jiwoong pinched the bridge of his nose, “how’d you know?”

“i come early and see you slipping in a note and roses in y/n’s locker, matthew was with me but he didn’t say anything about it.”

the male was glad that his best friend didn’t spill anything about his plan or anything else about his crush on you. seunghwan knew about it since it was too damn obvious.

“listen,” seunghwan starts, “i wish you the best of luck but y/n’s a great detective so, be careful. wish you all the best man.”

and with that seunghwan walked away from him, him feeling his heartbeat had raised.

it was another morning where kim jiwoong was placing another bouquet of roses in your locker. he was putting in the code of your birthday that was placed on the red locker, unlocking it smoothly.

he puts the bouquet in beautifully, searching into his pocket to get a note that he would wrote to you every week. but then, he hadn’t felt any type of paper in it. he was frantically searching for it and there wasn’t anything. then searching in his bag, he had gotten a pen and a small heart shaped sticky note.

“this would do.” he mumbled and opened the black inked pen to write.

“i feel really tired today.”

the moans of the cold wind were whooshing through the trees that were rustling. your hand holding onto your jacket and yawned, a hand placed over your mouth.

a deadpanned look from matthew made you stop yawning, “who asked you to go early today?”

“just because.” you easily answered.

“why me? not seunghwan, woongki or even jiwoong?” the last name he had said made you felt unsure.

asking jiwoong to accompany him to see your secret admirer would be tiring to him. jiwoong being the sleepyhead he is, you knew he would never get out of that deep slumber of his to go to college early. he sure was a heavy sleeper.

“jiwoong will never get out of his bed.” a logical answer made matthew nod, agreeing.

arriving in front of the college grounds, seeing it so empty without that many people around made you feel at ease. usually, it was crowded and loud for you to take in. the beep of matthew’s card to enter was heard, automatically opening to see a familiar figure in front of your locker.

he was opening your red locker, slipping in a note in his hand. that hand.

matthew froze beside you, glancing at you if you were witnessing the scene in front of you. the person had closed the locker shut, dusting off his jeans and stood up properly. the slicked back hair had totally knocked you over.

“jiwoong?”

the familiar voice of yours rang in his ears, shooting you a surprised look. jiwoong was panicking, he didn’t know what to do. his eyes staring into yours that were confused and questionable. and with that, matthew ran away.

you walked up towards him, seeing him in his round glasses, white t-shirt and jeans, topped off with a varsity jacket you had gifted him for his birthday. of course it would be given away just by his clothing. his orbs staring somewhere else that wasn’t you.

that feeling when your hand grabbed his, he finally looked at you, utterly shocked.

“if you wanna explain, you can.” you say, him inhaling sharply after.

“you see, umm, i honestly don’t care if you don’t answer me oppositely but i liked you for a really long time. i asked matthew for advice but i was the one stubborn and didn’t want to do it face to face. so he suggested to be secretive and i guessed you know what i mean.” he starts, staring into your eyes.

“what-”

“i gave you roses since it reminded me how i first met you — you drawing a scenery of a house and roses scattered.”

the cute memory made you grin lightly while jiwoong was fiddling the end of his shirt with his other free hand. it was not that he was scared to get rejected. he was scared and worried that you might be uncomfortable or him being over the boundaries line as friends.

jiwoong gazed at you just when you wrapped his arms around his waist. gosh, that smile of yours brightens the whole universe, that cheeks of yours with cute dimples, those delicate hands of yours so soft and gentle. he surely was going to melt into your touch.

a chuckle escapes your lips, “you can wish me roses any day.”

that easy sentence of yours made him smile and hugged you to his warm embrace closely. the butterflies in his stomach when he held you was fluttering lots.

“i might as well still wish you roses even if we’re together.”

oh, i wish you roses.

a/n ! thank you so much for reading and giving me requests. i’m thankful that you guys enjoyed reading it and giving all the notes and support. i do not own any characters, music or pics given, will definitely work harder for the next ones !

signing out, miaaa hihi !

To Belong

She was the weird foreign girl, he was the most useless Viking in the history of Berk. Together they were just Leandra and Hiccup. Two best friends who searched for their place in the world. Would their search for it unite or separate them?

Chapter 4

After the first artificial tailfin Hiccup and Leandra start a daily routine with their dragon friends.

In the night they work together to make a better tailfin for Toothless, early mornings they go to the Night Furries, and spend time with them, trying to get Toothless to fly again, then Hiccup goes to dragon training and Leandra to Gothi.

When Hiccup presents Toothless for the first time with a saddle and harness, so he could help Toothless fly, the dragon was not impressed and run away from him.

The boys chased each other through the cove.

Leandra, who leans on Starchaser, snorts, and the female dragon joins her.

Then Starchaser nudges Leandra, looking at her with big puppy eyes, then pointing at the still-running boys.

“You wanna play, catch?”, coos Leandra at her dragon, giving her a head pat.

Excited Starchaser wiggles her tail.

So the two girls play catch with each other, laughing and smiling happily.

Hiccup who finally managed to catch Toothless and put on the saddle on him, can’t help but smile softly at the scene before him.

His best friends seem so carefree chasing and getting chased by Starchaser around. It reminds him of the little girl he meet ten years ago, who became his dearest friend.

Toothless is just happy that his mate has another playmate. He likes the black-haired girl, she gives good pets.

“This is AMAZING!”, shouts Leandra into the heavens.

She is flying for the first time on Starchaser back over the cove.

This feeling of freedom!

It’s unexplainable. You need to experience it yourself.

Starchaser cooes at her.

The dragon is happy that her human girl is so excited.

Toothless and Hiccup are also trying out to fly together. But the tail breaks free sending Hiccup flying.

“Hiccup, Toothless!”, shouts Leandra worried.

Starchaser whines, thankful both boys landed in the pool of the cove.

The girls are flying over to them, stationary in the air.

Toothless seems to let out a sign, while Hiccup decides he needs to build something which doesn’t make him fly off the saddle.

Leandra is sitting with Starchaser beside her in the cove. Tufts of different healing herbs before them.

“Okay, what do you think about this?”, she holds a tuft of Chamomile under Starchaser’s nose.

Her dragon friends sniff it, making a pleased sound.

The black-haired girl nods and writes it down in her journal. She is determined to make her own healing herbs book for dragons with receipts for ointments and salves for them.

Starchaser is a big help.

She gives the Night Furry a kiss on the snout, which Starchaser recuperates with a lick on her cheek.

“Aww, Starchaser, you know this takes awhile to wash away!”, whines the Spanish girl.

The female Night Furry just laughs.

That’s when Toothless and Hiccup come back from their test flight and Toothless…seems high?

Leandra really doesn’t have a better word for it, how Toothless is all wobbly on his legs, tongue lolling out and peaceful expression on his face.

Worried Starchaser walks over to her mate, but he just falls down before her, showing her his belly. The female Night Furries doesn’t seem to know how to handle this situation either.

“Hic, what’s wrong with Toothless?”, ask Leandra standing up. She worries too.

Her best friend just grins and hands her some green grass.

“Toothless landed in dragon nip, you know, just like cat nip.”

Oh, this explains it!

She gets her journal down and writes this down too.

Could be useful in the future too.

Leandra and Hiccup give their respective dragon a good cuddle and scratch session.

Both Toothless and Starchaser are enjoying it greatly.

That’s when both teenagers rub behind their ear plates, causing the dragons to relax and fall over.

The best friends stare at each other and then at the purring dragons on the ground.

They can’t help but laugh.

Finally, Leandra’s grounding is over and she can eat again in the Great Hall with Hiccup.

Like they are used, they take a table for themselves when suddenly they are swarmed by the teens minus Astrid and some adult Vikings.

“Hey Hiccup.”, greets him Fishlegs.

“What was that?”, ask Snotloud excited. “Some kind of trick? What did you do?”

“Hiccup, you're totally going to come in first, there's no question.”, tells him Tuffnut.

Even more, questions get fired in Hiccup’s direction.

Of course, no one takes note of Leandra, she is just like an appendage on Hiccup, even if she sits beside him.

She rolls her brown eyes and catches how angry Astird smashes her cup against her now vacant table.

Well, at least someone else feels worse than her.

Maybe that will take down the Hofferson from her high horse and make her humble.

That’s when she feels how a hand takes hers.

She looks down and sees how Hiccup gives her hand a squeeze.

This makes Leandra smile a bit.

Even if Hiccup is now famous, thanks to the things he learned from Toothless and Starchaser about dragons, he will never forget her.

So Astrid is in a worse situation than her.

Hah!

Leandra can’t help but feel satisfaction in it.

With his hammer, Hiccup has created a little light spot, which Toothless and Starchaser chase around the coven like big kitty cats.

“Dragon nip and now this.”, can’t help Leandra but laugh. “Are we sure our Night Furries aren’t actually big cats?”

“Well, they DO love their fish.”

“Oh my lord you are right!”

Both best friends laugh heartfully.

Leandra spreads her arms to feel the wind around her. She and Starchaser are taking a flight around Berk.

The Spanish girl will never get enough of this feeling of liberation.

Up there, close to the clouds, she feels like she can be her true self.

No parents who want a Viking girl, no Gothi who wants a perfect apprentice, no villagers who see her only as the foreigner.

Here with Starchaser, she can be…just Leandra.

Thankful she pets her dragon.

“I love you.”, she tells her. “Without you, I would never feel this.”

Starchaser purr at her. She loves her little human too.

They return to the cove and see how desperate Hiccup tries to get off Toothless.

“What’s wrong?”, asks Leandra.

“The harness is jacked. I can’t break it off.”

That’s how Leandra finds herself sneaking into the village at night. She told Hiccup to stay put with their Night Furries since it was better she got the thing from the blacksmith stall he needs to free himself from Toothless.

She sneaks up to shadow to shadow. Careful that no one sees her.

Finally, she is at the blacksmith stall and gets the thing Hiccup needs.

Like she is a shadow herself, she makes haste back to the cove.

No one in the village is non the wiser.

“Are you both ready?”, calls Leandra on the back of Starchaser to the boys.

Both Night Furries are flying for the first time in a long while side by side.

Today is the final test.

Today it will show if Hiccup succeeded in making a tailfin for Toothless and if they can fly together.

Billowing clouds rise like mountains. The ground seems miles below them.

“Ready as we will ever be!”, calls back Hiccup to her.

“Okay, me and Star, will stay close if something happens, but the stage is your Hiccup and Toothless.”, tells them Leandra and makes Starchaser fly now behind Toothless.

“Okay there bud, we're gonna take this nice and slow.”, reassure Hiccup Toothless with a side pat. “Here we go. Here we go...position three, no four.”

He presses the pedal, causing the tail to flare. They roll off into an arcing bank, gloriously lit by the late afternoon sun.

Hiccup tucks tight against his neck, thrilled that his new harness and vest are holding. The foot controls make the tail appendage quick and responsive. He watches Toothless' every fluctuation, trying to match it with the prosthetic.

He sizes up a target a towering arch of stone, rising from the sea.

“Get ready for anything, Star.”, whispers Leandra to her dragon. “We are going in and the boys could need our help.”

Starchaser grumbles in agreement.

“All right, it's go time. It's go time.”, calls Hiccup.

They dive toward it, lining up to pass through the arch.

“Come on. Come on buddy. Come on buddy!”, Hiccup encourages Toothless

They zip through the arch. A perfect maneuver.

“Yeah! Yes, it worked!”, he yells happily.

Leandra and Starchaser sign together. Seems all to be okay. The triumph is short-lived. They smack into one of several sea stacks as Hiccup tries to keep up with the turns.

“Sorry.”

They hurtle into another rock pillar. Toothless grumbles. Leandra facepalms and Starchaser deadpans.

“My fault.”

Toothless swats him with his 'ear' plate.

“Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.”, Hiccup promises and checks again his cheat sheet. “Position four, no three.”

They pierce the clouds. For the first time, Hiccup can see the whole of the island below them. Leandra all ready seen it on her flies with Starchaser, but she is still charmed by the view.  

It shrinks with every passing second. He swallows hard and tightens his grip on the handles.

“Yeah! Go, baby! Yes! Oh, this is amazing! The wind in my...CHEAT SHEET! STOP!”

However, Toothless obeys the command and suddenly stops beating his wings. As they slow to a stop, Hiccup goes weightless. The rings of his vest float off of the harness hooks. Hiccup suddenly finds himself detached, free-falling!

“STARCHASER, GO GIRL!”, commands Leandra scarred for the life of her best friend and his dragon.

Like she is a rocket Starchaser dives after Hiccup and Leandra can pull him behind her. He hugs her so tight, that she can’t breathe, but she lets him.

“Toothless!”

“I know, Hic!”

Starchaser dives after her mate, helping him to roll back into the flying position. 

The girls can’t even look that fast as Hiccup bravely jumps from Starchaser back to Toothless.

“DIOS MIO, HIC!”

Hiccup finally grabs hold of the harness and manages to lock in just in time to pull Toothless out of his dive barely shy of the tree tops. Leandra and Starchaser are again behind the boys.

They careen past the wooded cliff and directly into a treacherous slalom course of jutting sea stacks. Hiccup pulls the cheat sheet from his teeth and attempts to check positions. It flaps violently in the turbulence, making it impossible.

With no time to think, Hiccup throws it away and steers Toothless' tail on instinct with perfect intuition. Together, they manage a tight, hair-raising series of split-second turns, making it to the open water, unscathed.

The girls are behind them and let out a relieved sound.         

Hiccup takes a breath and glances back at the death-defying obstacle course, now safely behind them. He beams, relieved.

He sits back and throws his arms up in victory.

“YEEAHHH!”

“WUHU!”, can’t help Leandra joining Hiccup in his celebration.

Toothless and Starchaser concur with happy squeals and a fireball each. Hiccup's and Leandra’s glee turns to dread as they fly directly into it.

“Ah, come on.”, he groans.

Leandra just puts her arms over her face.

Better than nothing.

Later our quartet is on a deserted little island on its beach. With Toothless’s help, Hiccup made a fire and Leandra with Starchaser caught for them enough fish to eat.

Leandra and Hiccup are cooking their fish over the fire while leaning comfortably on their respective dragon, who gleefully enjoy their share.

Suddenly Toothless regurgitates a fish head. Hiccup smirks with forced politeness.

“Uh..no thanks. I'm good.”

Starchaser does the same thing and looks with big eyes at the black-haired girl.

“I’m good, Star, don’t worry.”, she tells her Night Furry and waves around her stick with her cooked fish.

Several Terrible Terrors land like seagulls, hissing and nipping at each other as they approach Toothless' pile of fish. One grabs the regurgitated fish head and drags it away. Another attempt to steal it from him. They face off and last fire balls at each other to settle the fight.

The four watch, amused.

That is until Toothless spots one of his fish leaving the pile. A stealthy Terrible Terror is exposed as the thief. They tug on the fish, and it snaps back into Toothless' mouth.

He swallows it back tauntingly.

Irate, the little dragon paws at the ground and blast Toothless. He opens his mouth, the gas hiss comes, and Toothless fires a tiny flame straight into its mouth, causing the gas to backfire into the little dragon. It coughs up smoke and staggers away, looking ill.

Hiccup, Leandra, and Starchaser laugh.

“Not so fireproof on the inside, are you?”, the brunette says to the little dragon. He throws the helpless Terror his freshly cooked fish. “Here you go.”

The appreciative little dragon gulps down the meal and approaches Hiccup cautiously. He curls up next to him.

Both humans are amazed.

“Everything we know about you guys is wrong.”, Hiccup carefully pets him sending the Terror into an immediate, blissful sleep.

Leandra joins in and signs: “The world is such a cruel place. We judge before we understand something. Look at us being friends with dragons. I wonder if others can do it too.”

“I don’t know Lee, for 300 years my people fought and killed dragons…why did no one take the time to understand them, as we did?”

“I don’t have an answer either.”

Now both teenagers sign loudly.

Their dragons don’t like the mood swing of their riders and they nuzzle their cheeks.

This makes Hiccup smile a bit and Leandra hugs Starchaser.

How the world changed for them.

What should they do now?

Modern Landscaping Ideas For A Stylish Outdoor With Turf & Hardscapes

Transforming your outdoor space into a stunning, functional retreat is easier than ever with the perfect blend of turf and hardscapes. Gone are the days when landscaping was limited to grass or concrete; today, homeowners are embracing a more creative approach to outdoor design. By integrating synthetic grass with elements like pavers, stones, and other hardscapes, you can create a low-maintenance yet elegant environment that boosts curb appeal and property value.

Whether you’re looking to design a cozy backyard getaway, a lush putting green, or a kid- and pet-friendly play zone, combining artificial turf with hardscapes offers endless possibilities. Let’s explore some modern design tips to elevate your outdoor space and turn it into a stylish sanctuary.

7 Modern Design Tips for Combining Turf with Hardscapes

Creating a cohesive outdoor design involves more than just laying down some fake grass and stone paths. It requires thoughtful planning and creative solutions that suit your lifestyle. Here are seven design tips to help you seamlessly blend turf with hardscapes.

1. Define Spaces with Turf and Pavers

One of the best ways to enhance your landscape design is by using pavers to define different areas within your yard. For instance, alternating between artificial grass and pavers can create a modern checkerboard pattern, giving your patio or garden walkway a sophisticated look. This technique adds visual interest and provides a functional surface that’s easy to maintain.

A study by the National Association of Landscape Professionals found that properties with well-designed landscapes can increase a home’s value by up to 15%. Combining synthetic grass with hardscapes is an excellent way to achieve that appealing aesthetic while keeping maintenance to a minimum.

She Has All the Control

We are so fascinated by a lone flame, a moldering ember. In terms of awe, we really have not come so far from the cavemen. The ephemeral nature of a flame holds us captive and entranced like moths. The gentlest flicker could take an entire landscape down in a matter of hours. Our lush green western landscapes decimated to scorched earth and brown plains. We hear wind in the trees, but we can never hear a raging fire whizzing steadily by at 14 miles an hour, speeding by before we can register its destruction. Our simple, caveman minds cannot truly fathom the destructive power of a forest fire.

~

Fire gives and takes and kills and creates. Ash is our purest form, and fire purifies us and our surroundings. It ravages our topography while letting in new light and new life. Wildfires create new meadows and open new patches to let sunlight in. The burned earth carries carbon and encourages new growth. Ash is our end, but it’s also one of the best fertilizers.

The carbon-rich soils and sunlit landscapes after a wildfire help seeds immerse themselves snugly into the sediment and come above ground. They’ll replace the perished greenery and the cycle will repeat long after we’ve been put into the ground. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, sprightly and sprouting, new growth will always emerge.

~

Nature has no mercy; she is no holds barred. We grasp for control over the winds and tides, the landforms and gravity, and we constantly fight a losing battle against nature. We ask for her mercy and her forgiveness and receive none. I fear we are testing her patience. North American wildfire management is innovative and technological. It’s controlled and contrived. We smother the smoldering overgrowth with chemicals. Native Americans, though, worked in junction with nature, encouraging small, controlled fires to let nature purge and begin again. Contemporary forest rangers use their concoctions of water, fertilizer, thickener, stabilizer, bactericide, and colorant to silence the flames. We taint the landscape in a deep crimson red; our artificial colorants paint the land, marking it for sky-traveling pilots and their godly panoramic view. We should not be able to play God. Nature knows better than that, she fights back.

~

Deep in the woods, between campsites and picnic spots, wooden signs sit off the side of roads attempting to control and predict the forest’s destiny. Fire danger dials measure the likelihood of wildfires on a five point scale ranging from low to extreme, green to red. But never forget the holy word of the Bear, “Only you can prevent wildfires.” Nearly 90% of wild wind fires

are started by people, so why don’t we rank the likelihood of our negligence on roadside wooden signs? We’re fascinated by what’s wild but we also fear uncertainty. We do our best to forecast the likelihood of a wildfire, but we can’t pinpoint when a cigarette butt will hit dry grass, or, in rarer cases, lightning strikes a tree at the perfect angle.

~

All of the most severe fire seasons in the United States happened after the year 2000. They’re growing bigger and faster, and they’re forcing us to create new words for their increasing severity. We didn’t fear megafires a hundred years ago. We didn’t have megafires a hundred years ago. Yet, we have evidence of fires all around the wild. Forests of old were patchy from regular, small wildfires. They appeared as green and brown spotted patchwork quilts: ever evolving, creating and destroying canopy forests in the same areas. Open canopy forests created tranquil meadows and closed canopy forests emerged covering lush undergrowth. Megafires fed on the ever evolving quilt like ravenous moths, shredding its integrity and leaving it barren and flat, brown and lifeless. Fire season has changed our landscape and altered our quilt, leaving it monochromatic and severe, ravaged by moths.

Sod Installation

For those who prefer the look and feel of natural grass, Turf Green Pro offers expert sod installation services. Sod is an excellent option for homeowners who want an instant lawn without the wait and uncertainty of seeding.

Benefits of Sod Installation:

Instant Lawn: With sod, you can have a lush, green lawn in just a day. This is especially beneficial for new construction or areas where erosion control is needed.

Erosion Control: Sod acts as a natural barrier, preventing soil erosion and stabilizing slopes. It’s a great choice for areas prone to heavy rain or wind.

Aesthetic Appeal: Sod provides a dense, even lawn with fewer weeds and a more uniform appearance compared to seeding.

Turf Green Pro ensures that your sod installation is done right, from soil preparation to proper watering and care instructions. Our team selects the best sod varieties suited to your local climate and soil conditions, ensuring that your lawn remains healthy and vibrant.

Stone Hardscaping

In addition to our turf and sod services, Turf Green Pro also excels in stone hardscaping, adding structure and beauty to your outdoor space. Hardscaping involves the use of stone, concrete, and other materials to create patios, walkways, retaining walls, and other landscape features.

Stone Hardscaping Services:

Patios and Walkways: We design and install custom patios and walkways that complement your home’s architecture and landscaping. Whether you prefer the classic look of natural stone or the clean lines of modern concrete pavers, we can create a space that suits your style and needs.

Retaining Walls: Retaining walls not only add visual interest to your landscape but also serve a practical purpose by preventing soil erosion and managing water runoff. Turf Green Pro designs and constructs durable retaining walls that blend seamlessly with your outdoor environment.
