How To Unclog a Bathtub

The water drainage should take place immediately whenever an individual is showering. Or maybe within just a few minutes after taking the bath. Is your tub is draining slowly? This may be due to a shower trap or probably clogging of the bathtub with the soap, hair, or accumulation of other particles. In such a situation, do you want to know how to unclog a bathtub?

I bought some Draino because the snake didn’t work for my slow draining shower. In the past, Draino hasn’t helped much at all. However, preliminary testing seems to have proven me wrong this morning. I’ll still need to shower and see, but the water was draining very nicely as I ran the hot water down the drain to rinse it.

Tips to Find Affordable, Yet Reliable Local Plumbers Near You

Local plumbers and drain services are a necessity whose worth is understood only when the need arises out of the blue like draining a bathtub or when installing the best salt water softener. Like a clogged bathtub drain, while we choose to ignore things, they simply build up to the point where things just come apart and become visible. What is called for is a friendly 24-hour emergency sewer and drain cleaning service that stands by you when you are most in trouble and need their services.

Today we tell you a few tips to find affordable and reliable same-day plumber services near you.

Yellow pages listing

Most cities have a dedicated yellow pages that have detailed listing of everything from a pin to a plane. That being so, it is rather obvious that there would be details of known 24 hour emergency sewer and drain cleaning services who do other things including the maintenance of water softeners, draining bathtubs and unclogging bathtubs. Most places have a fairly efficient listing in terms of who does what and to what extent. Using this can be an effective means of getting across to the right same-day plumber.

     2. Google near-me searches or hyper-local searches

As of now there’s just one search engine the world knows and recognized. Google. And among the most used service of Google anywhere in the world are “near me” hyper-local searches which helps local business list themselves to get visibility in the local area. If your yellow pages just don’t seem to suffice (there’s always a lag between their getting printed and newer entrants entering the market), it makes sense to visit Google for a rightful “near me” search of same-day plumbers near me.

    3. Municipal listing

If you think either of the two won’t get you the desired information, try municipal directories in your local county office. They will have a list of emergency plumbing services licensed and registered with them. The added advantage of approaching the local county office is that you would get details of ONLY registered emergency plumbers whereas the other listings give details of everyone who is a plumber, irrespective of types and certifications.

    4. A visit to the hardware stores close by

Another good and productive way to find details of the best plumber in your locality would be to approach the hardware store of most repute in your area. They invariably have details of plumbers they work with given that you never give out home-related hardware stuff like pots, basins, faucets etc without the added assistance of a seasoned plumber. Yes, the US of A does believe in DYI but then there are those either short on time or experience who would much rather employ the services of a seasoned plumber.

   5. Ask a neighbor

One way of getting to the best plumber in your neighborhood, and which is used invariably by everyone everywhere on the planet is asking your neighbors for details. There isn’t anyone on the planet who hasn’t been troubled by issues of maintenance of water softener, putting up the best salt water softener, draining bathtubs, tub draining, unclogging clogged bath tub drain. And the only and best solution is the ubiquitous plumber who people do remember after a brush with near disaster! Asking your neighbor for the same is sure to elicit the right response in most cases.

   6. Your empaneled plumber

Those living in enclosed societies have the luxury of having in-house plumbers who are available 24 x 7. The only thing that you need to do to get to an emergency plumber is to call the designated phone number which in most cases is of the society administration.

    7. Local business listings

There isn’t a locality in most places in the US which doesn’t have its own local listing newspaper that contain complete details of businesses in the locality- including details of 24-hour emergency plumbing agencies. All it takes is a single edition of the newspaper, old or new, to get to the right local plumber in times of need.

John Price x AFAB!Reader

Self indulgent, needy, tired, needing a big bear to make me relax ramble... Enjoy🙌

MDNI!!!

The week had been unbearably long, people being rude, condescending, loud ignorant and testing your last nerve. The only thing really kinda holding you together the whole time is knowing that this weekend John had promised he cleared his schedule and the two of you were going to go on a little road trip together, to no where specific, just using it as an excuse to get away together. Although you thought you had cleared a shitty week without snapping or breaking, your boss had pushed you over the edge, humiliating you in front of your coworkers blaming you for something that you had nothing to do with, yelling right in your face, while then pulling you into his office to make back handed apologies and hitting on you, making you sick.

Getting into your car to head home, you let a few aggravated tears fall freely not caring to try and hold yourself together any more, you couldn't. Pulling into the drive you wiped your cheeks, grabbing your bags you got out and made your way inside, dropping your bags with a huff. Making your way into the living room meeting John half way you slumped into him, head resting into his pecs, shaking your head slightly into them, shutting the world off now that you were in his arms. John didn't miss your red eyes, or flushed cheeks as you walked to him, giving you a moment to just relax in his arms before he questioned what happened, he squeezed you into him kissing the top of your head.

"Hello my darling, how was your day?"

"Shit."

John hummed, squeezing your sides, not pulling away till you do, and once you did he cupped your cheeks, thumbs swiping under your eyes feeling the still present tears. Scowling slightly he held on as you tried to pull away, "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not yet, I'll only break down before getting anything out."

Nodding his head, he pulled you back to him picking you up bridal style, "Come with me, I'll draw you a bath." Smiling at him you wrapping your arms around his neck kissing his cheek, letting him carry you down the hall to your shared room, sitting you on the counter in your bathroom, he went to the tub, clogging the drain, and turning the water on, holding his hand under the running water waiting and making sure it was the perfect temperature, then pouring in bath salts, bubbles and a sparkly soup bomb. Turning back to you, he slowly undressed you, kissing every inch of exposed skin as he went, it wasn't sexual but more sensual and sweet as he went, pleasant praise drifting from his lips making you smile down at him as he slowly raised himself.

Grabbing a hold of your hips he picked you up again and brought you to the tub, gently helping you ease into the water, letting the water fill up a bit more, he took your hair out of the messy bun, grabbing your brush, he slowly worked through the knots and gently brushed your hair before helping you get it wet and massaging your scalp. After work every inch of your scalp he turned the water off, as he was about to kneel to massage the rest of your body you looked up to him blissfully, "Will you join me John?"

Never being one to tell you no, he striped off his clothes and carefully got in behind you, pulling your back flush against his hair chest, kissing your shoulders. "You're so beautiful, is there anything you want specifically for dinner?" Shaking your head you rested your arms on his thighs, squeezing his knees smiling as his hands starting working on massaging your back, shoulders, neck, arms. You were starting to feel like putty in his hands as you let him rub you down, when his hands got to your waist, you couldn't help the wetness of your cunny, and not referring to the bath. Rubbing your own hands slowly up and down his thighs, or at least as much as you can reach, you moaned when his hands pushed into the apex of your thighs and hips. Squeezing his thighs close to your hips you turned your head looking up into his eyes, kissing him softly, before leaning back up and kissing him again longer. Pulling back you continued to look up at him as his hands moved to between your thighs...massaging between them, fingers working small circles into your clit, and others dipping slowly into you curling and turning rubbing as much as they could reach. "Oh, darling."

Pouting up to him, you twisted you arm to behind you, feeling his twitch cock against your back, grazing it with your hand, "John." Kissing him again you moved your hips more into his hands when you felt him push a few fingers into your g-spot, making your toes curl slightly and widen your legs. His fingers slowly worked you up to a orgasm that rolled over you like a wave, it was a slow roll through you as he continued to work you through it. Sliding away from him momentarily, you turned, facing him, the water sloshing around the both of you, moving your legs to either side of him, laying over the front of him, bubble's sliding down your breasts. Grabbing onto his shoulders you leaned forward, kiss slow and gentle as he grabbed onto your waist with one hand and his other going back to your core, fingers working to gently stretch you and prep you, and anytime you would try to rush the kiss and move your hips fast against his hand, he would pull back whispering to you, "Slow darling, slow. I got you."

The pace was driving you insane, but you appreciated the attention he was giving to make sure you were properly relaxed and cared for. Feeling the knot in your tummy form you tried your best to not rush through the orgasm, huffing against his lips trying to keep the kiss going through it. "God, John, please, I need you, please just..."

Sliding you up his body, he guiding his dick right up to you, helping you slide down, seating you perfecting on him, both of you groaning as you slowly rocked yourself on him. "There you go darling." Whimpering you leaned back into him, still not feeling close enough to him, you held him, pushing your hands into his hair as his arms wrapped around you holding you to him steadily. Feeling that you were trying to quickly grind into him, he continued to slow you down, "Slow darling, slow, we've all night, for now, just feel." Letting his arms guide the pace you listened to him, slowing down and just feeling,

Loosing yourself into him, you felt so full of him, grateful that he knew you inside and out, easily wiping your mind clear of everything and making you be the center of everything. After breathing into each other and taking in everything, you could feel that heavy, blissful end slowly building in you, as his cock twitched against your cervix, pushed down into him a little more you grunted, your walls tightening hard around him, hips rutting uncontrollably against him, eye brows scrunched as you came, feeling him also cum inside you.

Stilling you slid down him slightly, his cock still buried in you, the both of you rested in the water, the silence comfortable to the both of you. No longer caring about the week, or anything that had happened that day, you felt better being there in his arms. "I love you John."

"I love you more darling."

[cozywolvie]

Could you do a fic on helping deadpool relax after a long night of merc work? or something like that lol. I just really love the idea of pampering and taking care of him....like massaging him and helping him to sleep

a/n: hell yesss i love this idea! thank you for requesting<3

-

You watch the front door anxiously, biting your fingernails. It was always nerve wracking waiting for Wade to come home from his mercenary missions. You knew he couldn't die, but you still didn't enjoy when he came home bloodied and battered, sometimes even with limbs missing. You really hoped tonight wasn't that type of night.

You hear the sound of keys jiggling in the doorknob, and you sprint to your feet, awaiting to see the damage this time. The door opens, and Wade enters in his red and black suit. It doesn't seem to be torn to shreds, so that makes you feel a little better.

"Hi baby." You greet. You see the grin he surpasses behind the mask. "Hey baby." You frown at the exhaustion in his voice. You reach up at the hem of his mask, pulling it over his head, making sure to be gentle. You smile at the sight of his face, caressing his cheeks.

"There's that handsome face." You say, intending to make him feel somewhat better, instead he chuckles back a loud laugh, "You sure we are looking at the same thing?" He teases. You laugh at his remark before shaking your head and placing a long kiss to his lips. He sighs in content, pulling you closer into him.

“How about I run you a bath?” You ask him, massaging one of the many knots in his upper shoulders. He moans in gratitude at the action, and looks at you with hooded eyes. "Only if you join me." he winks, and a blush coats your cheeks.

You practically run into the bathroom, and turn the bath on. You wait for the water to warm before clogging the drain. You grab all the bath bombs you can find and dump them into the tub, watching them disintegrate. Wade appears moments later in his stripped robe, taking it off and sighing in content as his body drifts down into the warm water.

You follow close behind on the other side, sinking down and leaning your head on the edge of the tub. “Mhm, this is even better than I could have imagined.” Wade moaned out, nestling deeper into the water. “I’m glad baby.” You smile at him, grabbing his hand that is hidden in the bubbles.

“You’re to good to me, ya’know that?” His tone is suddenly serious, not much like his normal carefree attitude. You look at him, and his face is just as serious as his voice. You smile, “You are more than good to me, Wade.”

He smiles at that, and the both of you sit in silence, bathing in the comfort of the warm water. After the water begins to turn cold, and Wades finger turn to prunes, you both decide it was time to get out.

You dry off and head to bed, slipping on your red pair of silk pajamas that Wade had picked out for you. He wears a red plaid of boxers, shuffling under the covers, smiling in content as his head nestles into the pillow. You do the same, watching as Wades eyes flutter open and closed, going in and out of sleep.

You watch in admiration, your eyes tracing along the features of his face, so calm, soft. It was rare to see him like this, so vulnerable, but you loved every second of it. You rub his cheek, tracing along his cheekbone and jaw.

“I love you.” He whispers out to you, half asleep. You grin, “I love you, Wade.” And just like that, Wades soft snoring is heard, and you fall asleep soon after, in the arms of the man you love.

Living with Leon headcanons

ya girl is back with some galar-champ goodness! i gotta say, the living-with hcs have to be some of my favourite to write, i love the cute domesticity of it all. i wrote over 1k words of this to prove it! and i still probs have more to say

features gn! reader, a suggestive reference or two, and a wee bit of angst.

nsfw part 2 here

Enjoy!

You jumped at the chance to move in with Lee

It meant you could spend way more time together

With his busy schedule, you could go a long time without seeing him in person

Five weeks at one point :(

Facetime just couldn’t cut it…

Your heart simply couldn't take it anymore!

Even just to see him briefly in the morning or at night

Share a quick kiss

Curl up against him in bed

You’d take any small, but precious, moments with your champion!

Truth be told, Leon's Wyndon penthouse wasn't much of a home before you moved in

It was picked out by Chairman Rose, paid for by him actually

Despite having lived there for YEARS

It never felt like home to Leon

Just a place to sleep, eat and workout

He never had the time (or motivation) to really just make it his own

With the exception of Hop's bedroom, which the two of them lovingly decorated together

He really wanted his brother to feel loved and comfortable whenever he stayed over

He wants you to feel that way too!

Lee lets you go as crazy as you want when it comes to redecorating

It's YOUR home now, and you'll be spending way more time in it

Even if it's not his taste, he still enjoys seeing your personal touch shine through the décor

Places you were not allowed mess with were Hop's room (duh), the gym and the master bathroom

Those last two are his sanctuaries! 

His gym isn't big by any means, but it has all his usual workout machines and free weights

A mat and bag for him to practice the fighting skills he learned from Mustard

Some stuff for his Pokemon to train too!

He likes to exercise in the mornings

At 5am eek

He invites you to join, though you usually just decline because that's VERY early and your bed is too big and cosy and warm and lovely

Sometimes though, you haul the covers into the gym and watch him work out all bundled up

Thoroughly enjoying yourself at the sight of his flexing muscles

While he thoroughly enjoys your shameless admiration

The one thing you do tend to join in as part of his work-out routine is the shower afterward ;)

Speaking of

The bathroom… omg the bathroom

There's a giant tub with jets

And he's got all the essentials

Bubble bath, bath bombs, Epson salts for when your muscles are cranky

He even has dried expensive seaweed from Hoenn if you want a seaweed bath that makes your skin so utterly soft

You swfinitely try and have a bath together once a week, it's the perfect way to de-stress, but also pamper yourselves!

His shower is also HUGE

And has jets too

Plus a waterfall option that makes it feel like you're in a sexy shampoo commercial

You have spent literally HOURS in there, it's so luxurious

And he can’t even complain because there’s plenty space for the two of you!

The drain gets clogged so easily from all his hair rip

Leon definitely takes care of appearance

His skincare routine is just perfection

His beard doesn't happen like that naturally either, he shaves quite regularly to keep the style neat

When you can, you love brushing Leon’s hair

He loves it too!

It’s so comforting for him, makes him feel all fuzzy

He likes when you style it too, even if it ends up a lil’ wonky

Like a lot of things about Leon his house, his TV is huge

He has a switch too!

Naturally, he gets competitive when you’re racing against each other in Mario Kart (but in a good-natured way!)

Cuddling on the couch while watching a movie is mandatory

If you EVER secretly watch the next episode of a show you’re supposed to watch together he will never speak to you again

His skill in the kitchen is not equal to his skill in battle, but he’s still pretty good

His meals tend to be on the healthier side, but he uses a lot of spices and seasonings to make them tastier

He makes a LOT of protein shakes be warned

Sometimes he even makes you breakfast in bed <3

He definitely has a secret stash of goodies for emergencies/when he doesn’t have to keep as lean during off-season

Of course, you do get curries from your local takeaway now and again!

Like every Galarian household, tea is sacred in your home

Both of you know exactly how the other likes theirs, and you both make sure it’s made to perfection each time

However you do butt heads on what biscuit to pair with your tea (and even the dreaded dunking debate :o )

By nature of the Pokemon League being such a phenomenon in Galar

Sponsorships are a huge deal

Meaning you often end up with a ton of free stuff

Leon lets you go through the goodies and take what you like

Most of the stuff is battle/sport related

You also end up with a lot of those rich people kitchen gadgets that are so much worse than what you already have

Why is dpes the blender need to be connected to the wifi?

You are secretly trying to get him to get a squishmellows sponsorships haha

When he's had a rough day, coming home to you is simply heaven

He'll climb into your arms and bury his face in his chest

Holding you so tight in the security of your shared space

While you play with his hair

In here, with you, there are no fans, no executives, no great big titles, no legacy to defend within an inch of his life

It’s just two lovers, taking care of each other

While he likes the apartment well enough (especially now with you in it)

He certainly does not plan to stay there forever

After he loses the champion title, he moves you into a beautifully vintage townhouse near the Battle Tower

It's definitely cosier and more lowkey

With room for a (sizable) family if that's your plan

And ofc a home gym and fancy bathroom

Plus a garden too, which you didn't have before!

He indulges himself a little and gets a cottage in Postwick for you to escape to when the hustle and bustle of the city gets a bit too much

[TIME SENSITIVE] GOFUNDME LINK

Hi everyone, my name is Chase. I am creating this gofundme in hopes to help me, my fiancee Lily, my best friend Zoey, and our two kitties Mango and Cocoa escape out currently falling apart apartment by September.

The history with this apartment has always been sketchy, we learned in late 2022 our lease was fraudulent as our previous landlord hadn't disclosed to us that he was subleasing. When we suddenly got a notice that we might be facing an eviction, despite paying rent on time every single month, we ended up learning be was pocketing the money and ran. The property owners were kind enough to keep us in the apartment and sign a real lease, however unfortunately getting in contact with them regarding issues has been more difficult than it should be.

Since October, we have been dealing with broken windows, a broken front door (which only got fixed in May!) broken shower tiles and a clogged tub drain, shotty lighting, and other damage in the apartment. We also learned during that cold snap in January our apartment is not weatherproof for cold weather, it was around 30 F in my room near one of the broken windows before we had to tape everything up. This apartment has become a safety concern for both us and the cats, and despite repeatedly calling and emailing we have receive only one repair since October.

While I know we are more than set to cover rent, extra fees like pet fees and move in fees are a little harder to cover. I recently started a new job and went through about a month without pay, draining my checking savings and maxing out my credit card, I am still recovering from this slowly. My fiancee is frequently in chronic pain so working any longer than she does would take a toll on her, and when Zoey moved up it proved to be harder to find a job than she expected, so for a little while she wasn't able to help much with rent.

This combined with emergency expenses (hospital visit, vet visit, major repairs, etc) has put us in a place where we need a bit of extra help getting us into a nicer and safer place.

We are currently lined up for a couple apartments in our neighborhood, so as soon as we get confirmation we can move forward with one of these places we will be set.

Bathtime conversations

𝑬𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒙 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓

𝑪𝒘/𝑻𝒘: 𝒎𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒏 𝒂𝒖, 𝒇𝒍𝒖𝒇𝒇, 𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑

You sighed, as you walked into your shared appartment. Work at the office had been more grulling as yesterday, yet you were happy the day was over. As usal, your fiance was still working. She had started a job a week ago with the man that raised her up, Joel, at a new lumber company.

You would be lying if you said that you didn't go drop off her lunch sometimes just to see her lift some heavy wood. Slipping off your shoes and setting down your bag in its respective place, you made your way to the bathroom.

Deciding that you were gonna have a bath instead of a shower, you clogged the drain. As the bathtub started to fill you grabbed a new set of clothes and picked out a bath bomb that you knew would smell good. The basket was full thanks to Ellie's slight obsession with them.

Every time you would use one right after a bath she would always want force want to cuddle with you once she got home. It's not like you were irritated with it though, you could always work while she was sprawled on top of you. Playing your favorite playlist, you let out a sigh of relief as you slipped on your clothes and dipped into the bath.

The bath bomb fizzled as the water started to turn a nice pink pech shade, as the fizzling sound filled your ears. Your mind had drifted to Ellie, wondering if she would be working late again. For the past few days, she had to stay behind later than normal to help a few newbies trained and know what their job entailed. As you were in your thoughts, you missed the click from the front door.

Then, a soft knock sounded from the bathroom door.

"Can I come in?" Ellie asked.

You shouted back a yes as she entered the bathroom, her eyes scanned the room for a second. It was actually normal that the two of you had just walked in on each other like this, the both of you growing into that security in the relationship. You could tell she was tired as she sat down on the toliet seat.

Her shoulders were slightly hunched, and the eyebags were a little bit more prominent than normal. Well, something that was normal was her coming home later than normal. Maybe something happened at work?

"You ok? Normally you aren't home this late. But don't get me wrong, I love seeing you here!"

You rambled, as you intertwined your hands with each other. Ellie had shifted her attention from the spot she was looking at to you. She sighed, bringing your hand up to her lips to kiss it, despite it being wet.

"You used the peach bath bomb today?"

Ellie asked, a tired smile on her face She had looked more relaxed now at least, despite her still looking tired.

"Yeah. I needed one today, I swear the people at the office are going to put me on the ground or have wrinkles before I'm 30."

You ranted, using exaggerated hand movements to your point. As you continued to ramble, Ellie looked at you with a look of admiration. She had always loved these conversations with you, you talking while she listens.

"So, why are you here? Did something happen at work?"

She suddenly snapped back to reality, not realizing that she was spacing out while taking in your features. She turned her face away and puffed, as if a child would.

"Joel sent me home early because he thinks I'm, 'overworking myself' over training the newbies. He's also giving me tomorrow and Friday off, and I'll be so lonely without you."

Her expression had changed into a sad one, despite you detecting a hint of sarcasm in the last bit that she had said. She had also grabbed your hand that was dangling over the tub, playing with your fingers. Ellie continued to rant as she fiddled with the engagement ring that she had proposed with to you.

You remember it like it was yesterday. The both of you were on a vacation to [favorite country] just exploring the country there. Beforehand you didn't even know that she had saved up the money by getting another discrete job on the side + a little bit of Joel's help.

She had done it at sunrise, despite you being grumpy at the time due to getting woken up so early. She had guided you to a beautiful view, giddy with how it was going to turn out. When you had turned around and processed the situation, you had cried happy tears the whole time and the way back to the place you stayed.

The ring was simple, yet elegant in the perfect way.

"Do you wanna watch Spirited Away with me and get takeout?"

Ellie proceed what you said for a second before nodding, getting you a towel as she got up.

"I don't really mind what we eat, its up to you!"

You said, her nodding as she shut the door behind her. You knew, that you were going to have a comfortable, cozy evening with your favorite person in the whole world.

[speedlimit15]

downstairs pipes froze (just the tub as far as i can tell) even thoigh the faucet was dripping. i noticed this because i heard drips collecting and was teying to figure out how it was clogged and noticed what i thought was clear goop around the drain. i touched it and no that was ice

[khaleesiofalicante]

I'm willing to pay cash to see Anjali's reaction upon receiving the "complaint" letter from Arthur. Also, the conversation with Rafael about deciding to fund the tech for his school.

Something I've noticed so far In the new LBAF timeline is, that Max has become so much similar in character to Alec's. The way he's parenting and communicating with the kids.. its very much like Alec. It's hot. It's mature. It's beautiful.

I accept payments in the form of Lewis Hamilton Thirst Traps :)

PS - Your observation about Max's parenting is >>>

“Are you in there?”

“Yeah!”

She leaned into Cami’s bathroom and sighed. “Rafael. I’ve told you to let her handle it.”

Her husband, who was leaning into the tub and wiping at it furiously, didn’t even bother to turn around to answer. “The drain got clogged again. How much hair does she lose when she showers?”

“She can unclog her own drain next time,” Anjali rolled her eyes. “Can you come out for a minute? I need to talk to you.”

“Just a second, amor, I need to let the baking soda sit for a minute-”

“It’s about the New York Institute.”

The blue latex gloves came off immediately as the man rushed to wash his hands and came out of the bathroom. “What happened?”

Anjali pressed a soft kiss to his lips first. Just because she wanted to. Just because he deserved it. He deserved all the love and appreciation. He needed to know that. Especially with everything going on. 

Anjali sat on the edge of her daughter’s bed and held out the fire message. “This came in earlier today.”

Rafael’s brown eyes scanned the contents the letter carefully. 

She’d been at a meeting with the auditors when the fire message appeared in front of her, thankfully she was always glamoured at office. 

She read it twice and then spent the next ten minutes wondering if it was a prank. A quick chat with one of her colleagues in admin revealed that mundanes did indeed cut up open frogs in biology class. 

She almost felt as if nephilim were better. 

Then she remembered that nephilim used to do that to downworlders not very long ago, and so no, nephilim weren’t any better. 

Maybe everyone just sucked. Except for her Rafael.

“Well,” Rafael said when he finished reading, and neatly folded the letter. “What do you think?”

“He spelt positively as paw-sitively,” Anjali pointed out. “This school obviously needs all the help it can get.”

Rafael chuckled tiredly, pulling the edges of the letter which had traces of glitter. “Do you think Max knows about this?”

“Honestly?” She asked and shook her head. “I don’t think he would’ve allowed it.”

“He’s a proud man,” Rafael mumbled. 

“He’s a pig,” Anjali replied, still a little hurting because Max didn’t attend Arjun’s rune ceremony. Even after Anjali has specifically asked him to. “A stubborn pig we love.”

“He used to be like this,” Rafael said, chuckling softly again, unfolding the letter. “He was always kind to animals.”

“He never got a pet?” Anjali asked, wondering why she had never asked that question before.

Rafael chuckled properly and shook his head. “Chairman Meow likes being an only child.”

Anjali smiled at that and touched the man’s arm. “I’m thinking of helping him out. It shouldn’t be too difficult. Some of our donors are interested in working with private schools.”

“Okay,” Rafael nodded quietly. 

“Are you okay?” she asked him carefully. 

“He’s in high school,” Rafael said, clutching the fire message tightly. “I’ve missed a lot, haven’t I?”

“They’ve missed a lot too, Rafael,” she reminded him gently.

“I just hope the next time we’re all in the same room isn’t at a funeral,” Rafael sighed. 

“Whose funeral?”

“Does it matter?" Rafael sighed again and managed a smile. For her. The way he often did even when he was hurting. He’s gotten a lot better at it over the last few years. “Thanks for sorting this out. I’m gonna finish cleaning up.”

“Rafael?” Anjali called. “Should we tell Max about this?”

“The donation?”

“Yes.”

Rafael exhaled and shook his head. “He doesn’t have to know.”

“Maybe it would help to know.”

“I don’t want him to think I’m trying to cosy up to him with money, Anjali,” Rafael said in frustration. 

“From what I hear, your brother is doing just fine making his own money,” Anjali hummed. 

“Don’t listen to Clave gossip.”

“Even if it’s from your father?”

Rafael pinched the bridge of his nose. “Please don’t tell Max.”

“Is it because you don’t want him to know you’re helping him or is it because you want him to reach out to you first?” Anjali asked. 

Rafael opened his mouth and closed it. “This bath tub is not going to clean itself.”

“You’re a proud pig too, you know!” She called out after him. 

“Well, you married this proud pig,” he yelled back from the bathroom.

He still cared a lot. She knew that. He always will. 

He didn’t give back the fire message to her after all. 

+ Bonus - Arthur’s Letter to Anjali. 

Dear Aunt Anjali,

I wanted to talk to you about something that's hopping around my heart like a little bunny. You see, in my freshmen biology class, we're about to do a frog dissection. Apparently, it's part of the curriculum. That’s not very nice, is it? I’m sure you agree with me. My daddy and papa say you are very smart! 

I was thinking about Devlin Corp and the super cool 4D technology you have. Wouldn't it be pawsitively amazing if we could use that cool tech to explore the mysteries of life without hurting any innocent animals? 

Everyone keeps saying it doesn’t matter because they’re already dead. But if we can’t even be nice to dead things, then that’s very scary. 

I totally get that this is a tadpole of an idea, but if you could consider it, it would mean the world to me and, hopefully, to all the little froggies out there.

Love,  Arthur x
