Admins refs!

Finally done… only took me all week… feel free to ask questions about them! (please)

Funfacts:

- Xara is based off: the End, dragons, lizards, reptiles etc., bats. The people of the Oasis are fancy but still need to wear outfits suitable for living in a Mesa so it comes around to something like Xara wears.

- Fred is based off: the Overworld, birds, deer, bears, angels. People in Fred’s Keep are all farmers/builders/creatives and from what you see in-game of what they wear, it’s similar to what Fred likes to wear. He likes to be comfy ^_^

- Romeo is based off: the Nether, cats, goats, demons/imps. Romeoburg citizens which are of COURSE called Burgers, they all wear thicker clothing for the colder environment tucked away at the mountains & fjords. There’s a lot of leather and furs, and long hair.

Armour refs

I don’t really like these but the idea is there. I needed their armours to suit their fighting styles and their general aesthetics including the ones of their towns.

Quick weapon refs

- Ending Eye is a longbow and its arrows are the sharpest hit you’ll ever get from a bow, owie

- Hoemeo is Fred’s diamond hoe, named this as a joke and it stuck, Fred couldn’t think of another name. He thought it wasn’t going to ever need to be used as a weapon so it didn’t matter. All I can say is that Romeo is lucky he wasn’t the one who died because that would have been an embarrassing death message.

- Ruby is like minecraft zenith and is very good at killing Freds

The pets

- Bonbon is a smaller-than-average creeper that is diffused and acts like a therapy cat to Romeo. He didn’t get a normal cat because he’s Romeo.

- Jean is THE Ender Dragon and was raised from a baby dragon into fully-grown Jean. She is often badly behaved and will only listen to Xara, if anyone.

- Waffles is Waffles… ya. Silly immortal chicken who also has an immortal need to peck Romeo to death

- Nugget, the old Clydesdale horse who is just happy to be there, happy lad ^_^

OK thats all I think. PLZ ask me questions. I will be joyous OK BYE

⭐ Favorite color:

i honestly have had some 'color opinions' sloshing through my head for a while.. its complicated but you can rarely go wrong with these ones 👆 these are the ones I like the most! specially when combined together!

for favorites.. it depends a lot on how you use the colors and if they're alone or accompanied! some things look bad if they're just completely sky blue and such..

(putting this under a read more bc its a Very long post)

for the purposes of having an ultimate favorite color.. man i honestly don't know. it's a completely even match between purple and blue, though only the non-100% saturated shades of blue bc true blue is quite unbearable. I think the ultimate champion in questions of how many things can work with it would be blue. sometimes too much purple can be unbearable, but too much blue not so much

red Can be beautiful in many cases, but orange is simply superior between pure yellow and pure red. pure yellow specifically is literally unbearable for me. i hate it so much. for me to like a yellow it HAS to be going towards orange or its nothin'. lime green is super beautiful but pure green is also too much, and so is cyan. though the specific range of teal/green-blue can be nice, but it does not come close to lime green, instead it accents it quite nicely.

we don't talk about pink. or magenta. or any of its hideous nicknames. perish the thought!

⭐ Last song played: erm. well. you see, most of the music i have downloaded came from youtube. and quite a bit of them from compilations of songs all in one usually 30+ minute video..

the one currently playing is by Lauren Bousfield. i've tried searching for the - actually paragraph cancelled. i thought it was one of the comps by the pavor nocturnus1 channel but it turned out to be from some random other channel. i was having trouble identifying which song it was because it's a single audio file but it turns out the song currently in that queue to be playing is the song Cascading Retail Spaces!

i've had this album compilation downloaded since.. 2017! damn! and other albums of hers too. I don't know anything else about her though, but her music slaps :3

⭐ Currently reading: ah.. i dont read at all sorry 😭 does looking at the drawings from the morpho books series grant me any pity points perchance..

⭐Currently craving: WAFFLES!!!! GOD PLEASE!! and cookies..

^my cookie pile in project zomboid. can you tell?? (no waffles bc they're randomly found and not able to be baked like cookies..)

⭐Coffee or tea: neither soz.. i did try to enjoy coffee like 10 years ago but its just meh. tea as well, very boring. not counting the fact i have to load these suckers with sugar for them to even be worth drinking >.> but i suppose i'd choose tea over coffee simply due to variety and that some are naturally sweet :J

tagging: @moodycarcass @oxu @crazysodomite (maybe even u again timo if u wanna awnser my curious inquiries below.. muahaha)

additionally might i add my own questions... for funsies :33

favorite stone pattern:

favorite time of day:

favorite cloud pattern:

actually hm its quite hard to come up with somewhat potentially universal interesting questions. fuck. erm

FAVORITE ANIMAL!!! this question never disappoints. additionally favorite family of animals maybe?..

also from the makers of the best question ever above.. what's the silliest/weirdest animal off the top of your head?

last dumb mistake in a game?

last triumph in a game? (life cant all be losses afterall..!)

favorite clothing pattern?

worst + best texture(s) to feel?

and finally.. name one cool thing that happened this week. no matter how small. it is your duty now! commence!

actually i suppose it'd be weird to not awnser my own questions.. well here goes:

i like the one stone pattern that's a bunch of thin slabs slotted together. the ref image i have says its name is cliffstone/bluff stone! i also like the 'bavarian castle' one!

time of day: DUSK!!! MY LOVELY DUSK!!! though dawn is veeery nice as well. i used to be fonder of the night but dusk is just sooo niceys. dawn loses points for giving way to the boring middays though. but every time of day has its charm

cloud pattern; i actually dont know their names besides cummulonimbus..? lemme search..

according to this chart ive found on ddg. nimbus! i love gray skies and i love rain and i love fog. stratus and scuds are also nice

fav animal: erm.. got myself in my own question! i dont think i have a true favorite? i suppose ill go with jerboas.. as for the family. rodents of course. im the rodent mutual how could i not choose rodents! blasphemy!

silliest animal: off the top of my head? its a worm-like animal with a goofy face.. i thought it was legless lizards but that's not quite it.. i dont remember the name 😞

though there is a guy that's named worm lizard apparently.. oh such a foofy goofus

last dumb mistake in a game: most recently i was trying to go back to my base in a car in project zomboid and ran straight into a insane zombie crowd. the car got stuck in the grass bc it was loaded to the brim and i tried to move it backwards and let zombies approach me with the hope i'd run away from them on time, but it was not moving and then i panicked and stepped outside the car near a zombie with the sprint key enabled, bumped into the zombie, fell on the ground and by the time the get up animation started the zombie was already eating my guy. i was so mad

last triumph in a game: not much of a triumph but i got to fitness and stregth to lvl 6 in pz which are grindy time consuming skills to lup. but i have a base and crops and my coogieeees

favorite clothing pattern: i also dont know!! id say checkers that arent too busy or its derivatives. but also star/celestial patterns of course

^ from my fashion inspo folder

worst + best texture(s) to feel: i hate silk and those ones that are like a million little hairs that i dont know the name in english. best i suppose would be plush/cotton? i dont know their names either lol

and finally.. name one cool thing that happened this week: hmm. i suppose the nice sky i saw earlier today? though also one my af attacks has gotten a lot more notes than i expected. which is epic 💪🐁

Just checking in to say that:

Sunday, I put my easel outside to paint my cat in the garden. Weather was cloudy but I assumed that was fine because there was nothing about rain on the forecast.

The plan was doing it alla prima onsite (because I'd never done that and, frankly, because it would be faster) using the background of this nice spot she likes, with the cat being mostly photo reference since she refused to lay down and sleep.

2 hours later, after I had mostly blocked the colors on canvas, it got really dark, then some very sparse raindrops started falling.

I picked up everything and ran back inside because even a little rain is too much rain for oil on canvas (the cat thought this was very much fun and ran alongside me.)

Since I had taken that photo ref, I decided to use it and paint in my room.

The whole alla prima thing expects you to load the brush and overlay colors mostly unmixed but I just. Can't. I need to dampen the saturation a little.

Painting without a drawing feels like an unhinged action. I feel like a little kid with a guache kit and a white wall.

I don't know if I'm enjoying the process of hating it. This is not something I would have done, this is not the way I paint. It doesn't even looks like the way I paint.

But I managed to paint a whole painting in about 8 hours! Usually a small painting takes me at least 20 hours in several sessions.

(I don't like to talk about painting as a matter of hours but there is a point here and the point is it really be faster)

It didn't stop raining. In fact, it rained harder.

Also, there was water streaming down the walls because the air humidity was about 97%, which is a sign that it probably wouldn't stop raining that soon.

(air humidity is relative so being that high just means we're miserable, not that we need gills)

Monday it was still raining. This was extra bad because the damn oils hadn't even set, let alone dry.

Tuesday morning I was wondering how I'd manage to take this wet painting into class.

Then I got a cyclone warning. And a flood warning. Then I got an email from the professor cancelling class.

("please, try to be safe and stay in" it read, as we watched news about how the surrounding cities were underwater. One of my classmates sent a pic she took of the water levels near her house-- she hadn't been home when it started raining and hasn't managed to go back since-- the water was about two meters over the ground. Who knows what'll be left of home once it goes down)

(I'm safe, though. Home is in a higher spot of the city, we'd need some serious apocalyptic scenario to get flooded here.)

The rain seems to have stopped now. Well, it's still raining but it's much gentler and the birds are singing, which is always a good sign.

Gonna put a cut here before the painting pics.

Anyway here's the painting. I call it "An aspect of a cat at play" but I never managed to say it with a straight face (I'm sorry. It's only a bad joke for people into art history but it's still a bad joke.)

And a close-up of my girl:

The photos are bad because it's too dark outside but also light enough that just turning on the light won't help, and the paint is still too wet and thus shiny (so flash just makes it impossible to see). Also, and this might be part of the problem, I have no idea how to photograph a painting (I might have to take a class on that.)

Is this what I wanted to paint? Not exactly. Somehow I managed to paint far less of Waffles than I wanted. Too much grass. I hate that grass (you can feel my hate in the brushstrokes lol.)

I also feel like I should have done something with composition, but the whole point of doing it onsite was using my point of view so... Ugh.

Well, I don't hate all of it and it was a learning experience. So there.

Ok, so I got this 50x60cm canvas (that's about 20x24 inches) I have to paint (in oils) and by Crom I'm making it something geeky, goth or both. I just can't really decide what I want to paint. And I have to decide this weekend because I should paint all of it before the 19th

(and it's oils so it'll take me three days between coats so I need about 9 days but possibly 12 except I don't have 12 days so we're back at I NEED TO START IT)

Anyway if you want to poke a choice and help me think, here's a poll:

[vinnival]

could you please do doc, sheriff, tricky, auditor, and sanmos [sanford x deimos] + demon child!reader with fire powers?

RAAUARJSURJA

little tinny

Wreak Havoc!

2BDamned

Who's this... sassy lost child?

-him

Imagine his surprise! He's cruising along, taking a break from SQ, when he spots a flicker of flame in the distance

Tbh he thought it was Deimos at first because....... ykno

(But Dei was back at SQ? Doc JUST saw him when he left...)

But when he approaches to try and see what was going on, he spots a kiddo that...

That looked like a hellbeast from Hell!

He startles, not expecting that- and that caught your attention. You skittered over and chirped at him with a fanged grin, exhaling a bit of smoke.

"Oh Maker no."

-him

He tried to get away, but I mean. You probably recognized this guy because of the stuff he does n all! So you follow him.

No matter how he tries to shake you, you manage to dart through thr shadows fast enough to somehow always find him

It was in this moment 2B knew......... he fucked up

He finally relented and took you back to SQ on the promise that you didn't destroy anything or else he will, and I quote, "Deag you back from which you came so help me."

Surprisingly? You didn't really act TOO bad. Of course you left a couple singes from embers here and there and started small fires from time to time. But it was really nothing that 2B or the other SQ members can't handle.

After all, they DO deal with Deimos, so

If you squint, you can see 2B slowly growing on you, becoming more father-like and caring over time.

Whoop-de-doo. +1 dad!

Sherf

What are you doing in my house????? What are you doing in my house ????????????

"I want waffle fries! :3"

Yeah you hopped into MERC one day to terrorize and it sent Sher into a tizzy because why is a DEMON FROM HELL-

Oh hey you knew this guy! You saw him when he was down there, and played with him a bit, which gave him a break from the torture of the other adult hellbeasts/demons

But that doesn't mean he wasn't scared of you lmao, he had his gun out and shakily aimed at you

You plop right into the chair across from him in his office, wide-eyed, occasionally blinking. You Were Not Afraid Of The Gun

He's frozen in fear! Tfw he's scared of a Literal Child

But you simply blep at him, tail swishing

And then he finally realizes

Ah shit I gotta deal with a child demon

Yeah you were NOT leaving lmao

MERC actually really likes you tbh, you are surprisjngly helpful with the tasks and you do Cool Fire Tricks so that's also a plus

Sheriff takes a while to warm up to you, but he does! And soon he's fully comfortable with taking you under his wing

He introduced you to Church n Jorge and Oh Boy

He knew a fraction of what kind of chaos would break out. But he didn't expect all of it

No matter how many times you three went chaos mode and sorta scared everybody with your abilities? Sheriff would always be waiting (albeit ready to rightfully scold based on what happened) with open arms, pretty proud of his two Big Kids and one Demon Kid

Tricky

Omg !!!!!! Chaos gremlin !!!!!!!

You two probably met for like 5 seconds total and it already wanted to fight you

Probably because it saw your demon-like features and deemed you worthy of The Slap™️

Of course, when the tie came around, you two were on the floor and panting, giggling to yourselves

"I LIKE YOU!!! YOU'RE COOL!!!"

Cue happy demon

Soft tacos later ?

SOFT TACOS LATER !

You equally drag each other around a lot. Straight up, as in the title, wreaking havoc and watching shit go down with popcorn

When fighting Hank, you cheer it on!

You two like playfighting a lot, it's all in good fun!

Clown dad nyeh >:) /ref

It really cares for you! If you're hurt via water ( you make Fire so logically- ) it will plop down next to you and hug you until you get over the pain

Speaking of fire, it probably asks you to help with the circus tricks clown knows just to add more flair to it

Tricky is obviously cold all the time due to being a Literal Corpse, so it curls up next to you a lot to stay warm

"THANK YOU SPACE HEATER :o)"

you've lost your demon title how do you feel/j

Auditor

Thus could go one of two ways! But because this is intended to be a fluff request, I won't go the Evil Warlord way

When Audi detected a new presence among the land that wasn't like the usual buzz of grunts, spirits, G03LMs, etc...

She had to check it out before the other employers could

Quickly whisking away to your location, she spots a child chasing a screaming grunt around

Smoke trails bellowed behind you as you laughed and spat fireballs at the poor grunt

Wait is that child-

Oh yeah she finally caught you weren't a normal grunt

They swooped in just in time to catch you as you jumped to pounce on the scared grunt, immediately wrapping you in binds to keep you from attacking. (Not that it would hurt.)

"What? Huh?! N- lemme go! Lemme go!"

They simply raised an eyebrow at your sttempt to look weak and like a literal child, hiding away your horns and tail and closing your eyes shut

When you attempted to sneak a fire attack conspicuously (to which it didn't hurt. fire employer, rmr?), she decided to speak up

"I know what you are, hellbeast. Are you one of Stygian's?"

You froze up at that name, finally letting your horns pop back out. Oh, yeah. You definitely knew that name; that was your old leader before you decided to run off and see the overworld of Nevada

With you slowly nodding, Audi stayed quiet and simply dragged you back to the AAHW facility she was at.

And you didn't protest! You already probably upset one employer, you didn't want to upset another

She brought you up to her office quickly,

"Stay here, I'll get accommodations ready for you soon. Do not burn down my office."

You quickly nod at hearing the growl in her voice

Of course you obliged, resisting the urge to idly play with your fire until he came back

Once Auditor did, they gave you the rundown of the rules, and asked you to repeat them before you were permitted to head to your room

Yes, you memorized them with ease and repeated them back; you were soon on your way to a pretty comfortable room to live in

Audi personally accompanies you a lot, asking you idle questions to learn more about you and teaching you some nifty things! Like swordfighting!

Lesson one never give a demon a sword

Unless said demon is fighting an emoloyer

Otherwise you have no chance lol

Stygian never shows up to take their kid back, so Audi just keeps you tbh

Neat liddle kitto

Sanmos

Hoooollyyyy shiittt

Dei FREAKS OUT when seeing you, immediately spitting out fire of his own to excitedly catch your attention

You two were just immediately "my man 🤝"

Meanwhile San in the bg "Oh No Twoaddem"

San can't really resist Dei's puppy eyes when immediately asking to take you in

"Alright, just remember that this is a literal demon, Dei, and shit could go down at any moment."

happy deimos and demon

You are subsequently apsorped into The Family™️, now including TWO dads!

Sanford obviously secretly adores you, but he puts on a more firm front when parenting you, making sure to scold you accordingly; just as 2B would.

Deimos is a flat out cool father, always hanging out with you and/or inviting you to do stupid shit together, cracking jokes when needed and doing fire stuff together

(outside of sq btw. no more accidents inside.)

When you come on missions and work with the two to drop bodies by the tens every few seconds, they're the proudest dads EVER omg

"Our kid could probably beat Hank!"

I'm personally not sure if you could tbh but! It's the thought that counts?

*coughs this up* how old is this rq.......... like 4-5 months old....... im. so sorry <- addicted to discord

hope you liked it, though! I'll be slowly working through the requests, all! Be patient please!

*toothpick voice* can I get a waffle? Can I please get a waffle /ref

[spottyissleepy]

*waits excitedly for leaf pool ref* speaking of her, how does the wife trio interact with one another? What with two of them being villains/antagonistic characters and leafpool. just being there ig

Her ref’s gonna come up in a few hours at the latest!! Just gotta decide if I want Round Leaf™ or Skinny Leaf™

Leafpool, sitting in the background while her wives beat people up: “Can I get a waffle,, can I PLEASE get a waffle-“

Lmao but nah, Nightcloud isn’t really an antagonistic force, she’s just. Kind of bitchy lol but we love her for it. She and Leaf were horrified when all of Moth’s crimes came to light, as Moth did a lot of her plotting behind the scenes - and especially behind her mates’ backs, which made her feel horrible, but she didn’t want them getting hurt by getting involved in her web

They never get to confront her, though. Because by then, Mothwing is dead, her siblings are wanted criminals or banished, her bloodline is doubly disgraced, and Leafpool is pregnant.

Things… fall apart, to say the least

Koimonogatari Summary Ch.23

Hello! So I'll be posting a slightly detailed summary of the latest chapter (23) of koimonogatari but before we move on, disclaimer that I'm still learning JP so it'll probably be not as accurate ;; Please refer to the official translations once it comes out and/or, if you prefer, from a scan team that's scanlating this manga! With that being said, I'll also be posting a few images that I've translated/typeset (i won't be translating the sfx effects since they take too long to edit orz) so spoilers ahead! 

So first page takes place after Yuiji and Nemoto had that talk from the previous chapter. Nemoto proceeds to complain while calling Natsumi "Neko-chan" about how she told Yuiji something troublesome/annoying. (she said something like, 自己焼悪 "self-loathing" or "I hate myself" afterwards). Natsumi decides to do the same thing and complained about how she might've said something strange too to Yamato. After that, they both decided to eat crepes together to forget their worries lol

Next, it shows Yuiji and Yamato walking together and they talk about the culture festival and how the girls are really reliable when it comes to preparations. They even agreed that they're strong (they didn't specify who here but i'm sure they implied nemoto and natsumi). Yuiji then talks about how he started talking to Nemoto after a long time and he felt a sense of relief in talking normally. He then asked if they can hug and Yamato was confused how it was related to what he talked about, but Yuiji went for it anyway. Yuiji says that he used to embrace Kyousuke (Hongou) whenever he gets "struck by the source" so now he's using Yuiji for today as his "healing point." 

(T/N: I was a bit confused with このへん here and because この means "this" and へん could mean "strange" I was thinking "this strange-" but then I saw the preceding particle で (このへんで) that could indicate location or where an action takes place and found out このへん together means "this area/around here" so I chose this one instead of the other one, I'm probably wrong ;; oof just know that they hugged here lol)

In Yamato's thoughts, he's happy that he's a substitute for Hongou and he couldn't stop his heart from beating fast in his chest. He keeps telling himself that he's scared that he was going to get caught and that he couldn't hug Yuiji (it shows a half hug from him so i'm guessing he couldn't hug him fully?). Yamato kept on saying, 怖い (kowai) meaning "scary" in the page during the hug ;; 

Now we jump to the culture festival! (i probably won't go over too much till the end, so i'll probably skip some parts) Yamato and Seki appeared and people were saying how they look really cool in their outfits. After that, they started preparing and splitting the groups into two: beautiful girls and handsome boys. The handsome group goes first.

They even told the customers not to take photos of them lol Yamato and Seki got into character (they were discussing a character system, i'm not sure if Seki mentioned his but he told Yamato to do a "prince" type and he even acted like one to a little girl) and were serving customers samples, charming them, etc. (the "here you go" first image ref!) Meanwhile, Yuiji was making waffles and they were getting a lot of people lining up to get some so it was a huge hit. Part of it was because of Yamato and Seki's customer service. When they met up, Hongou's friends who came over (and even took notice of Seki and Yamato's looks) loved the waffles too. When Seki and Yamato switch with the girls to take a break, Mikeda and the girl (i wasn't sure if her name was mentioned), who were from the last page of ch.21, are in the festival and also tried the waffles. It then cuts to Yuiji and Natsumi who told each other good work and realized they both ended up getting the same drink from the animal cafe that Nemoto is working in. Yuiji starts talking about his relationship with Nemoto to Natsumi and being friends. Natsumi said something about love is merely fun until you realize your mistake (or probably too late in this case?), then wondered if she'll fall in love with someone again. 

Mikeda shows up out of nowhere then asks if they know where Yamato is and introduced himself as his middle school friend. Natsumi made a weird face when she saw him and Mikeda noticed it then asked if she knows him. As he was talking, she tried texting Yamato not to come to them but it was too late orz

- end of chapter - 

If you have reached the end, take everything with a grain of salt! I didn't want to make it long so I had to cut off some parts ;;  Hopefully the scan team will release the full pages with translations soon! Nonetheless, thank you for reading! 

If you want to pay for the official to support the author, please go on this website! https://www.tokyopop.com/book-catalogue-new-titles/koimonogatari-love-stories-vol-1 (it tells you on the side what platforms it's available on and so far, there's 2 volumes) 

I am also not affiliated with any scan team! I've only been in one so far and have only worked as a proofreader/quality check/helped with translations sometimes

kankri, annoyed that he's being dragged into what he assumes is just musician beef even though he's been like.. the subject of all the the tings they're talking about: Can I ple-- can I PLEASE get a waffle? (ref) -KPA

Another year, another hiatus...

So, with the new year comes the Young Justice Phantoms midseason hiatus. In an effort to keep everyone entertained while we wait for the next new episodes to drop, I wanted to take this time to invite anyone and everyone to start sending me asks about, well, ANYTHING!

I’ve really been wanting to do asks from people for a while now, but I just don’t get them very often. Feel free to just drop by and ask me anything! You can share your own theories for the remainder of season four, ask me about mine. We can converse about favorite characters, episodes, scenes, whatever!  Send me art, fanfic refs, anything creative really! Or you can ask me stuff about myself, about my plans at the moment for my eventual Young Justice season five first episode script and season plan (Yes, I have some thoughts on those already. I’m just that good lol), what other fandoms I’m a part of, my hopes, my dreams, my world-famous recipes for various types of waffle sandwiches (Waffles: even better than bread!), literally you may ask me anything you want. Nothing is off limits except for spewing hate of any kind. Please try and keep it civil as can be.

So, there you go, folks! A clear invitation to send me stuff! Enjoy it, have fun with it, and please don’t abuse it!

My ask box is open! Ask me anything!

The Marriage Project (10)

Hellooooo! For 300 followers, I decided to drop chapter 10! Please enjoy!

Masterlist

Word Count: 2202

Warnings: maybe some language? 

% approximately the last weekend of october %

By the time everyone and their families had gotten to the city and eaten dinner, it was around 8:30 pm, so you and Tom decided to try and knock out your project work.

You sat in the breakfast lounge next to each other at a table as other team members and families conversed. You noticed Nikki and your parents talking and gave Tom a glance.

Since this was your last ever volleyball tournament (at least for high school), your parents had come and you were getting to stay in their hotel room instead of a team room.

You mostly worked silently when you and Tom overheard some people talking about homecoming.

“Who’re you taking to homecoming?” he asked casually. “And don’t say Paddy or Harry.”

You laughed at that one.

“Uhh, no one. I don’t really have anyone to take so guess I’m flying solo with the girls again. Why? Who were you gonna go with?”

“Eh, nobody. The guys brought it up earlier to me and I was just curious.”

“Oh, really? I thought you had girls lined up at your feet. And a couple guys, too.”

“I’m pretty sure I could say the same about you. And you mean freshmen? Yeah right. I’m not about to catch a case, not that I’m remotely attracted to any of them.”

That comment made you laugh again.

“Yeah, well, those same freshmen are the ones spreading rumors about us. It’s stupid. We oughta stick it to them somehow.”

“What are you getting at..?” he trailed, suspicion in his voice.

“I don’t know… What if we just went to the dance together? I mean, we’re already on homecoming court and are most likely gonna win, so what if we just showed up together to annoy them? It’s not like we have to make it some big deal or anything.”

He looked at you for a minute, like he was doing calculations.

“So… you and me, no matter whether we win or not, go together? You don’t think that’s just gonna make things worse?”

“I’m pretty sure anything we do will keep causing rumors so long as we’re doing this project. We don’t have to, I just thought it would be funny to see everyone’s reactions.”

“You know what, let’s do it. There’s nothing for us to lose. Let’s just not tell people we’re going together and then just show up there. If anyone asks just say we’re going solo?” He suggested.

“That’s not going to work completely… what if you came to dinner with me and my friends beforehand? We can surprise them all and then the rest of the school at the dance. It would be really sus if I bailed on dinner and I’d like for your mom to take some pre-dance pictures.”

You decided to shake on it and get back to work, but your stomach was doing the same fluttering it had been the past couple weeks. By the time you two finished, it was just past 10 pm and most of the parents and even some of the team had gone to their rooms. 

The only people you knew nearby were Sam and Julia, who were sitting on a chair together watching something on her phone, and of course Tom, who was watching snap videos from friends at the Halloween party that had just started.

“I think I’m gonna head upstairs. Even though top seed doesn’t play the first round, I have to be up kinda early,” you explained as you stood, gripping your laptop across your chest.

“What’s your room number, I’ll walk you up. Some of the people here have been giving me weird vibes.”

“Umm, let me check,” you pulled out your phone with the text your mom had sent earlier. “415.”

“Oh that’s perfect. We’re in 416. Just across the hall.”

You said goodnight to Sam and Julia as you passed and went to the elevator. As you waited, a young couple, probably in their mid twenties came up, obviously drunk. They were dressed up for the holiday, and you were surprised that they were seeming to cut the night short. 

“Oh my God babe, look, they’re like younger us!” the girl attempted to whisper, giggling. Your face burned as you glanced at Tom, who looked as uncomfortable as you.

“That’s so dope! How long have you been with this little lady?” the guy said directed to Tom, giving you a once over, as all four of you entered and pressed the buttons to your floor.

“Oh we’re no-” you began when Tom interjected.

“‘Bout a year, man,” he smiled, tossing his arm over your shoulder and pulling you in tight. The elevator doors closed.

You simultaneously wanted to push him away and fall into his tight, warm grip. You decided to play along as you continued to hold on to your computer. 

“Best year ever!” you exclaimed, leaning up to give him a peck on the cheek.

“Oh come on! You can do better than that! Kiss him! Kiss him!” the girl egged on. You both chuckled nervously and gave each other a look. There seemed to be a silent consensus to just do it for the bit.

Tom moved his arm to your waist and lightly pressed his lips against yours, smiling as he pulled away. You were left a little stunned as the inebriated couple clapped and cheered.

You could tell they were going to say more when the doors opened on the fourth floor.

“Well here’s our stop. Nice talking to you. Come on, princess,” Tom said, the both of you rushing out of the elevator, his arm still around you. 

Once the door closed, you both let out a sigh as you turned down the hall towards your rooms.

“Well that was...  weird,” you stated, the both of you walking pretty slowly. You were keenly aware of the way his hand tightly cupped your side as you clumsily knocked into him a few times.

“Couldn’t have said it better myself. Sorry about that. I didn’t know what they were gonna do and that guy had creepo vibes and I panicked.”

“I get it. We are married, after all,” you said quietly, wiggling your left hand. “Well, here’s my room. Thanks for keeping an eye out. See you tomorrow?”

“Yeah, see you at breakfast. You’re gonna kill it tomorrow,” he said softly, squeezing you in a side hug one last time before letting you go. Your side tingled from where his warm body was no longer touching as you entered the hotel room.

It wasn’t long before you were also saying goodnight to your parents and laying in the dark room, reflecting on the wild day that was Friday. 

You knew that back home everyone was still partying, as you’d received pictures and videos of your friends dressed as Guy Fieri, but you’d had a whole different kind of experience, unsure if it was a good or bad one.

Tom’s lips were kinda soft though

And his big hands around my waist fit nicely

You pushed the thoughts away as you finally fell into deep slumber.

You headed to breakfast wearing sweats, a baggy tee, and a pair of socks and slides. Looks were not a priority right now. While you waited on your waffle to finish cooking, someone appeared next to you, yawning.

“Morning, princess,” he muttered, stretching and rubbing his eyes.

“You really aren’t a morning person, are you?”

“Nope. Now how much longer are you gonna be here because I’m in need of a waffle,” he asked, nudging your sides. It seemed as though you were both pretending the previous night had never happened.

Once you both built your plates, you went to sit with some of the team when Tom plopped into the seat next to you. He immediately began digging in, but paused when he realized the whole table was starting at him.

“What’s wrong, you want me to bless the food or something?” he looked to you.

“No it’s just surprising that you’d come sit with us is all,” one sophomore said. “I mean, you’re like the most popular guy in school.”

“Yeah well the real legend is this bit-” your glare stopped him in his tracks, “...I won’t call you that word, but anyways y/n ranks above me. If anything, she’s the intimidating one.”

The girls giggled and went back to their conversations, occasionally looking at Tom still. 

“Sorry I almost called you a bitch. I meant it the good way,” he whispered into your ear.

You stared at him for a few seconds as you finished chewing a bite of apple.

“I’m just confused as to why you came over here with all the girls.”

“Well it might come as a shock to say that you’re the only person here that I’m friends with other than Sam, and he’s on thin ice after hogging the bed sheets last night,” he explained, shooting a glare to his younger brother, who was obliviously eating with Julia and his mom.

“Today’s gonna get real boring then if I’m your only friend.”

“Hey, remember our conversation Monday? Cute uniforms?” 

You slapped him on the chest for that one.

A long, hard day of games had led up to this moment. A whole season. A big portion of your life.

It was probably between 7 and 8 pm. You weren’t sure. All you knew was that the scoreboard said 24-23 your team. Meaning, one point for you equaled a final win.

You wiped the sweat from your brow as you stood on the back line of the court, nervous and determined.

There were cheers from all sides of the gym as you prepared to serve one last time, hopefully for the better.

The upper ref blew her whistle and motioned her hand for you to serve.

One

Two

Three

bounces on the gym floor. A toss in the air. A slap to the ball.

The ball passed the net and sunk right to the gym floor without a single person touching it.

It took you a second after the whistle blew and the scoreboard changed to realize that you had won the game. You were snapped back to reality by the loud cheers of your teammates and supporters.

The team came and congratulated you, slapping your butt and squeezing your shoulders. They pushed you to the front of the line to shake hands with the other team and refs under the net.

You didn’t realize until the team went into a huddle that there were tears slipping down your cheeks and everyone reached out to love on you and Anna. All those years working for this moment and it had finally ended. 

Coach made her speech short and sweet, because you could tell she was holding back tears as she looked between you and your co captain.

The two of you led one last cheer for your team. A tournament official came to hand the team the trophy, give you another tournament MVP medal and both you and Anna all tournament and all state awards. You hung them on your neck proudly, happy to feel their weight.

Upon turning around, the first person you saw was Tom, who had a big smile on your face. You immediately rushed to hug him, jumping a little into his arms.

“Told you you could do it!” he exclaimed, wrapping his arms over your sweaty frame. You pulled away, arms still loosely holding each other.  He casually brushed the residual tears from your cheeks.

“And what’s this? Some new ice?” he asked, grabbing all three medals in one hand. He raised one up pretending to bite it.

“My drip is just too clean,” you joked, flipping your ponytail over your shoulder. You heard someone clear their throat behind you. It was your dad.

You went and hugged your parents and talked for a few minutes, then were called over for Nikki to take team pictures. 

Everyone showed off their fiery hair ribbons (you had stayed true to your joking promise) and got pictures with the trophy. You and Anna also took some biting your medals and alone with the large award.

You finally headed to the locker room, changing and packing up your volleyball bag one last time. 

The end of an era was a sad one to say the least.

You said goodbye to everyone as your parents got the car ready. Tom came up.

“Hey. Good job once again. I’m proud of you. See you Monday?”

You felt yourself blush as your stomach flip flopped.

“Thank you, Tom. I’m glad you were here this weekend, especially last night. See you then.”

You gave one last side hug before getting in the car and preparing for the long ride home. You were sitting still for a while reflecting on the day when your phone lit up.

“How’s the ride so far?” Tom asked over text.

“It’s been 20 minutes, Tom.”

“Well if I’m going to be stuck third wheeling Julia and Sam I’m gonna need someone to talk to.”

You rolled your eyes and smiled, continuing the conversation all the way home until you were falling asleep in bed.
