"Nimona" movie artbook thoughts

There's so much neat stuff here. Spoilers for the movie below the cut but just dang I love this

So many neat ideas for long-haired Ambrosius. Ponytail Ambrosius! He looks so cute!

There was going to be a magazine cover with "Goldenloin bares it all" and I like to think part of this is in reference to the two pin-ups Nate drew (Pin-up 1 and Pin-up 2). It's neat to see how much they were building up his celebrity in more ways. In other concept art, he was on more magazine covers, and he shows up as part of a parade. There are lots of concepts of Goldenloin fans.

Also this Ambrosius test is amazing. The weird Todd/Ambrosius fusion in motion lol But you can tell they even modified it later to turn it into Todd. He's a bit softer here in a way and just... fun. Todd cosplaying as Ambrosius/having a nightmare/dream about it aldkjalj

It was also interesting to see more confident Ballister. There's an animation test with him fighting some Institute guards, and it's very clear in early concept art (from that popular viral test back in 2021 as well) that he was more confident in earlier production.

More adorable Ambrosius/Ballister moments, and some cute Ambrosius. They're absolutely sweet.

And unfortunately one of the biggest losses in the movie: the amazing stuff they show for Meredith Blitzmeyer. At one point she was going to be covered in magic tattoos.

"For a long time, the character of Meredith Blitzmeyer was in the film. She served many different functions in many different iterations. At one point, she had a magical van that was bigger on the inside. In another, she was covered from head to toe in magical tattoos. And in another, she was the head of a vast underground society, called the Silver Society, comprised of all the magical creatures forced into hiding by the institute. Ultimately, the story went in a different direction, but her design and model were so beloved that she wasn’t lost but repurposed into The Queen." This all sounds so cool (except the repurposed into a character who dies in the first 10 minutes of the movie part T-T).

She has an entire spread. It's neat that she got to show up in some form (when they recycled her design for Valerin), but I love the idea of the Silver Society and her place in it and also Ballister having more friends and just ugh. These designs and world-building are so cool. I wish we'd seen all of them in the movie.

Also finally an eye dings chart! With everything clearly explained lol Neat to know I wasn't imagining some in-between diamond/square shape when Ballister is changing.

And this pride flags spread! There's a drag queen club! I just love all of this!! Seeing them spread throughout the movie is fun but it's neat to see the collection here!

Also this line: "In actuality, there has not been a monster attack since the first, so the fear and belief of the possibility is the only thing keeping the populace in check." It's neat to get confirmation of that.

Also a very much more violent Nimona was in the early/late-ish production lol.

José Manuel Fernández Oli talked on his Facebook collection of concept art about there at one point being an underground of outcast shapeshifters, and I don't know if that's what we're seeing here, but we were at least maybe also going to get more magical people (which matches the Meredith plans)??

Weres? People with fire magic? Satyrs? Demons? Elves? Or just a wider range of shapeshifter people. That would have been so cool.

There are environment designs for the Institute, Ballister and Nimona's hide-out, people designs, a few more test animations they haven't put up elsewhere, more Nimona shapeshifts (more dogs and cats, a second kind of gnome, more of her bulkier, muscular design, more types of dragons, a goat, more ancient Nimona concepts, plant monster Nimona, alien(?) Nimona, etc.). We nearly had goblin Director. Older Gloreth concepts... It's all really awesome.

All in all, a lot of really cool stuff.

Oh you have to do #11 with David and Patrick. I could just melt reading that prompt 🫠

“Sing for me.” “What would you like to hear?”

David never believed his first night in the cottage would be like this. First, they are not even in THEIR room: it's sand and stone color palette still has to dry. Instead they were on just a mattress in their living room. David flopped about like a giant fish seeking the creek. "Go to sleep, David!" Patrick huffed, full of laughter. They both turned to each other. "Sing for me?" All the sudden David realized that they finally had precious privacy. They could be as loud as they would like. Patrick's voice grew overly found, and David moved his hand to stroke his husband-HIS HUSBAND's face. "What would you like to hear?" Patrick pressed in to David's touch pressed a single kiss on his wedding ring. "Sing me a lullaby?" David snuggled under his brand new quilt, a gift from Marcy. "Hush little baby, don't say a word, mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.." "Ew." David interrupted. "David." Patrick hushed. "That's just how the song goes." "Sorry….continue?" "And if that mocking bird don't sing, mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring." "Where is 'mama' going to get the money, huh?" "Do you want me to sing or not, David?" Patrick sighed. "Sorry. Go on." "If that diamond ring turns brass, mama's going to buy you a looking glass." David hummed happily, and Patrick tangled his fingers in David's curls. "If that looking glass gets broke, mama's going to buy you a billy goat." "At least we could trade Heather for cheese?" David whispered. Patrick laughed. "Do you always interrupt your lullaby's?" "I've never heard a more incorrect lullaby." David argued. Patrick pulled David against his chest. "Does it help if I told you I'm having a hard time sleeping too?" "Yes…" David paused and nuzzled against Patrick's chest. "No." "Was there anything your mother used to sing to you?" Patrick wondered and stroked David's back. David started to hum something buried deep in his memory. "I know that one. Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques, Dormez vous? Dormez vous? Sonnez les matines. Sonnez les matines. Ding dang dong, Ding dang dong." David snored softly on Patrick's chest. "Goodnight, husband."

I can't stop rotating around the idea of Mimic and Fang getting together in my head and the absolute DRAMA it would cause with my Bark and Jewel rarepair over here this is absolutely your fault. /JK

Like, I'm assuming Bark and Jewel got together first, and Fang somehow missed the memo of Mimic=Bad coming from her, Tangle, and Whisper. (I say somehow, we know how he missed it... It's the lack of braincells and his arrogance that he TOTALLY has braincells LMAO)

I don't think Whisper would ever explicitly say he and Mimic should break up (Tangle might though!), but Jewel would definitely feel the pressure from her bestie and her poor traumatized girlfriend to probably say something to Fang. It'd be one thing if Mimic was an asshole or Whisper's ex or something, but he killed the Diamond Cutters... Has he changed? Should they forgive him? Is Fang in danger too?

Bark would probably feel very torn the entire time. He's been running with Fang and Bean longer than he's been together with Jewel... But it's Fang. He's rude, loudmouthed, and a bully sometimes. Bark's got a better relationship with Jewel, but Fang's still his friend, so is he supposed to support Fang's choice, or try to talk him down from maybe not dating the guy that betrayed and murdered his girlfriend's best friend's girlfriend's Merc team?

And meanwhile Fang's feeling the Shit I Might've Fucked Up feeling, but a mix of arrogance, stupidity, and perhaps some amount of love for the octopus is making him dig in his heels and refuse to budge on the matter.

And Mimic's just like 🧍. 😂 I can't even begin to imagine how he feels. Did he know Fang's connected to Whisper's new friend group? Or did he tell Fang to keep this quiet and is now dealing with the fact that he fucked that up lmao?

Ugh, sorry to brain dump in your inbox like this... I'm just going feral with Thoughts™ and my options were this or... Eat my notepad at my desk or something. Yes I'm at work, thinking about technicolor rodents. I usually am. 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DILEMMA I HAVE CURSED YOU WITH-

[Comidic /lh]

♡

Just gonna say this now : Your Bark & Jewel pairing is very much adorable 🥺💛💙

♡

As for my input on all this ding dang drama, hmmm.....

I kinda like to think Mimic & Fang had met before Mimic joined the Diamond Cutters & before Fang formed the Hooligans. They weren't exactly together then, but their paths just kept crossing, resulting in chaotic shenanigans.

They would've just kept a long distance relationship and literally tell no one about it for awhile. Like the question never really gets brought up to Fang, and Mimic just refuses to answer. Either way, I can guarantee you Bean will be the last one to find out 😆 (But that's just my silly opinion [/pos])

Tangle & Whisper are definitely firmly against it at first, like "Hold up- No, this is not really okay. What the hell". Arguments insues. Everyone tries to talk sense into Fang. Meanwhile, Fang's trying to defend himself while internally thinking, "Oh I F*ed up." Pretty much all the drama stuff you brought up happens.

The closest anything gets to being resolved is maybe something along the lines of this (?) :

It takes a while, but eventually everyone would get on somewhat a neutral ground. Like no one's really going to change morality wise, no relationship is going to break-up. It's just kinda awkward, but no one's gonna try and think about it too much... Just don’t let Mimic, Tangle & Whisper be within 100 feet of each other and everything will probably be fine 🫠😅

As for how long that neutral ground stands, up to you.

All I can say is Mimic was probably off causing trouble elsewhere during it all and has no clue any of it happened for awhile. [/hj]

♡

Also, don't worry about infodumping to me! I'm completely fine with it!

[/pos /g]

So after healing all corrupted gems, building accommodations for all off colours, recuperating all planets with organic life back to supporting that organic life, recovering all shattered gems which itself includes doing SOMETHING about the Cluster, what say we leave the Diamonds to live out the rest of their existences on a far off comet, never to have an opportunity to hurt another life form again?

Yeah. Okay. I’ll take that. I guess their goop is needed for how gem reproduction currently works, so that’s a snarl - but I’m sure a clever Kindergartener could devise a way around that and seize the means of gem production this could be an interesting future plot point to consider, tied into coexistence with organic life (paging @ajora). Alexa, play Want You Gone.

I’ve seen a lot of speculation about the future, about how this is only a tiny first step in fixing such an overwhelming amount of harm (and, really, how much is even fixable? Or a basic minimum of reversible? Planetary extinction sounds pretty final. What happened to the happy hugging rainbow gummy worm aliens from “the Kyanite colony”, huh? Huh, Blue?). And every tiny bit of nascent realisation on the diamonds’ part that we’ve been presented with is, yeah, baby steps, if anything.

Yeah, we’ve found a way to fix the worst of the corruption, but we have a massive intergalactic empire to consider. We still have the entirety of Homeworld society to deal with and a horrid system to dismantle, we need to get Peridot back on that whole sustainable coexistence of Gemkind and organic lifeforms project she had ideas about, the zoo, the rose quartzes, THE PEARLS, those bubbled forced fusion experiments that YD just happens to have hanging around (that was pretty easy to miss, but the implications are horrifying, and having the CGs be bubbled and awaiting punishment there was… nope). There’s still corrupted gems roaming out there, I’m sure, and the ones we have uncorrupted will doubtlessly need time and help to recover (I appreciate the traces of corruption “scars” left in their designs - things like that don’t just get erased). There is so, so much work to be done, by so many people.

I’m really interested in the future! I hope we get a lot of the aftermath and the actual meat of the Disney Musical Montage, I hope we get to see both Earth and Homeworld change and grow together in a truly new era. And there’s still so much we don’t know, and so much Pearl Content I, tumblr user oathkeeper-of-tarth, personally want to see, so clearly the show needs to get on that, stat.

(And once again, I am very, very, very tired of the diamonds. We can see all of this unfold without centering it on them and their drama. And I’m gonna stick it here, and then leave it at that because I’m tired of going on about it, too: Going all out with the “dysfunctional family” part over the past half-season or so and glossing over the “intergalactic tyrants behind a laundry list of unspeakable atrocities” part really doesn’t work for me, at all (no, Yellow! I don’t care that mom wasn’t looking when you committed your 500th perfect planetary genocide! holy shit!). Divorced from the context, I thought it was some damn powerful stuff even if WD’s concession there at the end is very hard for me to buy, but I get it, Sugar said as much, it’s an aggressively optimistic escapist fantasy where people do listen. Christine Ebersole really blew me away, the unapologetic identity-related stuff was lovely, and I can appreciate what it already means and could come to mean for people. But put together with how the diamonds got set up over the years, tonally and scale-wise and so on… it just doesn’t mesh at all, and I was and am immensely frustrated by this. There. Done.)

#[major kira voice] i'm always diplomatic #Anonymous #oathkeeper replies to things #endless words #thanks for that little heart there at the end anon i appreciate it #steven universe #su spoilers #steven universe spoilers #change your mind #ding dang diamonds #i am rather inexplicably fond of the gummy worm centipede alien friend

❝ you’re the one i want ❞ - yji

yang jeongin x reader | fluff | 1.8k words

WARNINGS | lowercase is intended, high school au, established relationship au (if that’s a thing lol), non-idol au, just your good old going on a date kinda fanfic where you two realize just how in love y’all are, whipped!jeongin, really fluffy, did i mention fluff?

SUMMARY | when your date ends with a giant promise.

AUTHOR’S NOTE | another fluff fanfic because that’s my forte and i haven’t written any skz things yet :P hehe the pic is my pfp. anyways jeongin is one of my ults and my bias in skz so this is gonna be fun to write! also i’m doing this right, right? it’s yji? yang jeong in? idk why but for some reason it doesn’t look right to me. also the ending’s trash i’m sorry-

“baby please stay still.” your boyfriend softly scolded as he carefully fixed the bunny hat on your head, one hand keeping the hair out of your face and the other placed carefully on the back of your neck to keep you still.

it was the last couple of days before the start of your guys’s senior year, before things get complicated academically. the august heat burns but you didn’t think twice about it, more excited about the fact that you and jeongin were at seoul land.

your tiny frame bounced up and down, slightly frustrating your boyfriend. he didn’t mind though because you were absolutely adorable in the bunny hat he bought for you. jeongin smiled softly at your excited face reminding him of a kid opening christmas presents.

his hands then went up to fix the froggy headband you chose for him, making sure he didn’t look completely stupid. when you first pointed out the headband, jeongin had a protest at the tip of his tongue. but dang, the way you looked at him had him nodding his head in approval before he said a word.

“are you done yet innie?” you whined, holding onto his arm as he chuckled. jeongin’s free hand goes up to squeeze the paw of your hat, one of the ears going up. his heart never failed to race whenever you two made eye contact. he wholeheartedly believes you are the most beautiful thing he has ever seen in jeongin’s eighteen years of life.

jeongin smiles at your blushing face before grabbing your hand.

“let’s go loser.” and he drags you to the viking ship on your left.

❝ i like shiny things, but i’d marry you with paper rings ❞

you couldn’t help but smile at your boyfriend’s focused gaze. you guys were taking a little break from rides and instead going around the games and food stands. his tongue poked out as jeongin focused on the target in front of him, fire behind his eyes.

you two were sharing a funnel cake when he noticed your eyes staring at the cute cow stuffed animal. jeongin immediately recognizes it from a kdrama you two watched on your first movie night as a couple. and that’s how you found yourselves standing in front of a water gun stand watching your boyfriend try and win you that stuffed animal.

the man at the running stand laughed quietly at your dumb and in love expression before the ding rang, indicating jeongin won. your boy jumped a little in victory before turning to you with the biggest smile ever.

and that’s when you felt it. that warm and fuzzy in your tummy, the racing in your heart, the automatic smile you gave him back. you and jeongin have been together since the summer before your second year of high school. you watched as he grew from the shy and timid boy to the (slightly more) confident man he is now. you couldn’t believe how you’re already gonna start your senior year with the love of your life.

love.

in that moment when jeongin stuffed the plushie into your hands and gave you a hug, you knew you were completely in love with him. you wanted to marry him someday.

you didn’t care if you two were in your pajamas or dinosaur suits, you just wanted to be his.

❝ uh huh, that’s right, darling you’re the one i want ❞

jeongin’s palms felt sweaty and clamp as you dragged him towards the carousel. your carefree and euphoric expression made his heart double in size as he blinked at you. suddenly the ring in his pocket felt heavy, weighing him down with every step he took.

the start of summer while jeongin was at the mall with his hyungs, a pretty ring caught his eye. it wasn’t anything too big or expensive (which he was thankful for as a broke high school student), but absolutely stunning. the ring had a thin silver band with one medium sized diamond in the middle, tinier ones surrounding the big one.

and before he knew it, jeongin was at the shop paying for a promise ring he was hoping to give to you before school started. there was a matching one he bought on a whim, leaving him more broker than before.

jeongin knew he was in love with you in the middle of your third year in high school when you two had a burping contest to see who could burp the loudest. you won (only because he let you) and from then he only had heart eyes for you.

he’s never felt that comfortable and safe with anyone. being so carefree and home. he was at home with you. so buying you that promise ring was his way of saying he wants to be with you forever.

❝ i hate accidents except when we went from friends to this ❞

you two met at the start of your freshman year when jeongin spilled milk all over your shirt. he was a shy boy so whenever the lunch bell rang, he ran out of the cafeteria like his life depended on it. but one day he wasn’t aware of where he was going and ran right into your timid frame.

suddenly you were met with a cold feeling running down your chest.

the poor boy freaked and apologized faster than you could register what had happened. you were a bubbly kid, though not very social so you didn’t mind what had happened. but for some reason you let yourself be dragged by the stuttered stranger, offering you his hoodie he had in his locker.

his hoodie felt foreign and warm on your body. although he was a stick at fourteen, jeongin was tall. the cloth looked big on your short frame, hands disappeared from the long sleeves. the boy was beyond red looking at you in his clothes. his eyes widened, malfunctioning on why he felt this way.

“i’m really sorry.” he muttered in embarrassment before turning around to leave.

“wait!” you called out, tugging on his wrist. if jeongin didn’t resemble a tomato then, he definitely did now. your hand felt warm around his wrist and the sudden source of heat was all his mind could think about.

“thank you.” you shyly said taking back your hand. you don’t know what has possessed you but suddenly you’re asking what his name was.

“what’s your name? i’m y/n!” you said with a small smile. jeongin’s heart felt like it was about to explode.

❝ uh huh, that’s right darling, you’re the one i want ❞

“come one baby it’s almost dawn let’s go~” you whined a bit, pulling his tall frame towards the line. it was almost sunset and you wanted to go on the ferris wheel as the last thing you two would do for the day before studies filled up your date nights.

well actually, jeongin was the one who suggested going on the ferris wheel to you before you stuck with it in excitement. it was all a part of his master plan to give you that promise ring. he was pretty confident you’d take it, after being together for so long, though of course there’s that small inkling of doubt that you’d reject it and him.

but now that it was almost time, jeongin couldn’t move his legs. he was really about to give you a promise ring.

jeongin laughed to mask his nerves but you knew better.

“awe is my baby afraid of heights?” you joked, no longer pulling his arm but putting your hand in his. “don’t worry, y/nnie is here to protect.” you broke out into a fighting pose which immediately made him laugh at your silliness.

❝ in paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams ❞

here you guys were at the top on the ride, the sunset warm on your face. jeongin’s leg was bouncing in nervousness causing the box you were in to shake. you were about to reach out to the boy before he spoke up.

“y/n?” he asked in a small yet serious voice. you couldn’t help but worry.

“yes my love?” you responded back, turning your body to face him on the seats you guys were on. “what’s wrong? you’ve been acting weird ever since you got on the ferris wheel.”

your mind was racing with possibilities, the worst one sounding the most obvious with the way jeongin seemed so serious. he wasn’t breaking up with you, right?

jeongin took a deep breath before looking into your eyes, the color more beautiful than the sunset behind you.

“i love you so much.” he continued before reaching into his pocket, fumbling a bit with the box the ring came in.

“and i know we’re young and have so much ahead of us. ah you know how much i’m bad with words but, there’s so much we’re unsure of like what’s 25 - 8 or what college we’re going to. but if there’s one thing i’m sure of, it’s that you’re my everything.” the boy said, trying not to stumble over his words. his heart was at an unmeasurable rate, one hand on the ring and the other on your own hand. suddenly he took out the ring, a red velvety box which made you gasp in shock.

at this point you were tearing up. so he wasn’t breaking up with you?

“this isn’t anything too big so don’t freak out.” jeongin joked making you chuckle a bit. “but i know that i want to spend the rest of my life with you.” his grip on your hand tightened before letting go, opening the box.

“it’s nothing too big but hopefully this could show you how much you mean to me, y/n. here’s a promise ring because i really want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

the ring was beautiful in your eyes. tears fell on onto your cheeks as you looked to your boyfriend. all you could see was genuine love and care.

you caught him in a hug, causing the box to shake again, sobbing into his chest.

“i love you, i love you, i love you.” you chanted into his chest making him laugh.

“don’t cry my love. i still need to put it on you.” jeongin chuckled. you wiped off the salty water before holding out your hand. jeongin slowly took your hand as if it was made of glass before slipping on the ring. it fit perfectly.

❝ oh, you’re the one i want ❞

you put his ring on as well before the box moved indicating that you guys were going back down. before the sight of the pretty sunset escaped your view, you quickly grabbed jeongin’s face to meet yours in a kiss. a kiss to promise that you’d guys would be forever. because yang jeongin is everything you’ve ever wanted.

Philosophy Class for Rock Bottom Demons: 1/3

A/N: I don’t know why I’m finally getting around to posting this old fic now, but I’m in a hellstrop mood

As Michael watches the humans snipe and scurry about (he doesn't care what Eleanor says, that cockroach analogy was on point) he thinks, this is rock bottom. A demon begging his torturees for help; that's as low as it gets.

Then Eleanor tells him he has to take philosophy class.

Does she forget whom she's dealing with? He's not some zit-speckled check out boy who will "remember" that he already scanned her margarita mix if she yells enough. Despite his appearance of bespectacled innocence, at his core he is pure immortal evil that has been torturing humans since before her grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother was even conceived, thank you. Does Eleanor know how much force is needed to pry the nail from a grown man's big toe? Does she know the sound a human makes when tossed into a giant juicer? No--but Michael does, and she'd best not forget it.

Except maybe he's the one who's forgotten whom he's dealing with, as Eleanor throws his words back in his face until he's well and truly cornered.

So now he's taking philosophy class.

Now this, this is rock bottom, Michael thinks, as Chidi, in all of his sweater-vested glory, hands out their neatly printed syllabi.

"Right. Now that we all have our syllabi--"

"Oh, dip," Jason says, his eyes impossibly wide. "Are you sure that's safe?"

Chidi blinks. His forehead scrunches up in that way it does.

"Pardon?"

"I mean aren't those those weird monster thingies that make you like mad horny?"

Michael catches Eleanor's eye, and they quickly look away.

"I--you're--no. Jason, you're thinking of a succubi. These are syllabuses." Chidi winces, as if the improper grammar physically pains him.

It doesn't clear things up.

"Chidi, man, if you need to see a doctor I know this dope one in Jacksonville. She accepts food stamps as payment and doesn't ask questions if you come in with jellyfish stings around your ding dong--"

"Jason, you're thinking of--you know what, never mind."

Then again, maybe it won't be so bad if he gets a front row seat to Chidi being tortured by his students.

* * * * *

The syllabus is garbage. Human philosophy is garbage. Every higher being knows that, even the stuck up angels farting around in the real Good Place.

(Not that Michael's actually met an angel before, but still).

He'll just have to fake it. Put on his best face, lure the humans into trusting him.

It'll be easy.

* * * * *

This is rock bottom, the knowledge of existence's fleeting nature. Of the expanding, gaping maw of the abyss that will devour them all as easily as dog-spiders devour human eyeballs. How can anyone expect him to go on like this, knowing the fate that almost certainly awaits him (because let's be real, Shawn will find out eventually)? Why was he even created all of those eons ago if this is his ultimate fate? How can existence even continue without Michael, who's always existed before? How can--?

It's okay. Eleanor's showed him. If he can just push those feelings down, and keep pushing and pushing and--

Eleanor's towering above him. Huh. Usually she's not because she's so ridiculously tiny. He remembers the reboots where she got so angry she physically attacked him--it was hilarious, like a chihuahua barking at a grizzly bear. Her eyes are more blue than green tonight, maybe because of her dress.

"All humans are aware of death," she says,"so we're all a little bit sad, all the time. That's just the deal."

"Sounds like a crappy deal," he mutters.

"Well, yeah, it is," she says, sitting down, "but we don't get offered any other ones."

Eleanor's gaze is absent of any judgement or mockery or disdain. He can't recognize what he sees, because no one's ever looked at him that way before, not humans or demons or Janets. It's not sad but not happy either; it's more like she somehow knows what he's feeling even if he doesn't say it, and that's okay. Her eyes tell him that it's okay.

It doesn't make it better, exactly, but maybe it's not rock bottom either.

* * * * *

"It's so forking stupid! 'How can you tell if an action is good or bad blah blah blah?' Because of the points, dummy! The points tell you if it's good or bad, Professor Know It All."

"I feel you, bud," Eleanor says, lounging with her feet on the coffee table, a notebook propped up against her legs. "But--and don't rip my head off or whatever you guys do--"

"It's rip your head off," Michael says.

"Right. I'm just saying, maybe things would go a little better if you didn't rip the pages out of every book Chidi gives you."

She might have a point there.

* * * * *

"In this experiment, people continued 'shocking' patients even after they heard them beg and scream. The influence of authority was too strong, and overrode their moral instincts. So the question this possess is how do we stick to our morals in the face of conflicting authority? Yes, Michael?"

"I don't understand the problem. When your superiors tell you to up the voltage, it's a good thing. Why wouldn't I want to use the shocks--why are you all looking at me like that?"

All four humans stare at him like his human disguise just slipped.

Chidi squints. He rubs his hand against his forehead. Michael can see the sweat beading on his face.

"Michael, you're still thinking like a demon. From a human perspective, we don't want to torture people. I think you need another ten lines."

Michael sighs, but he doesn't question it.

"People good," he mumbles, as the chalk screeches against the board.

"Keep it up, bud," Chidi encourages. "You'll get there eventually."

* * * * *

"Why did you give me Les Miserables? That thing's almost as long as your stupid thesis!"

Chidi frowns. "Thank you, once again, for casually insulting my life's work."

"Come on, man, you gave Jason Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret."

"Did you seriously just compare your intellectual abilities to those of Jason Mendoza?"

"...fair point."

* * * * *

What was Chidi's problem?

Michael searches for Eleanor's eyes. She's good at explaining things; out of all of the humans, she makes the most sense. But Eleanor won't look at him. She actually looks away from him, following wordlessly after Chidi.

Michael doesn't understand.

* * * * *

"I can't high five that!" Eleanor shouts. "No matter how much I want to."

Michael turns away, laughing. She seems like she's mad at him too, but then he gets her laughing with the reddit story. Things can't be that bad if he can still make her laugh.

It doesn't last for long.

Eleanor tells him that this is entirely up to him to fix, then leaves, before he can think of a retort. He's left alone to wonder how the here he can worm his way back into Chidi's good graces.

Wait, what? Why does he even want to make it up to Chidi? He should be thrilled; he didn't want to attend those stupid, worthless, stupid, boring, stupid classes to begin with! Now he can have his proverbial cake (teaming up with the humans) and eat it too (no dumb classes). This is perfect.

Now he has more time to write fake torture reports instead of reading up on those old farts. Or complaining about reading with Eleanor and Jason and sometimes Tahani. Or seeing Tahani's shocked delight whenever he shares some surprising tidbits about her celebrity pals. Or trying not to laugh at the expression on Chidi's face during yet another of Jason's long winded anecdotes. Or sitting besides Eleanor, occasionally cheating off of her, each doing their best to make the other laugh. Now he doesn't have to waste any more time with any of that nonsense.

It's perfect.

* * * * *

There's something wrong with his chest as he watches Tahani clutch her diamond and Eleanor gush over her shrimp dispensary. It's warm, not warm like whenever he got too close to the fire pits, but softer, and not exactly unpleasant. He still doesn't get Chidi's deal, not entirely, but he's back on Team Cockroach, so everything's fine.

* * * * *

He's on his best behavior for his first day back to philosophy class. He doesn't rip the pages out of his book, doesn't talk about torture or mention humans' stupid anatomy. He doesn't even laugh at Eleanor and Jason's many jokes about happiness pumps, though that's partly because he doesn't get most of them.

* * * * *

Chidi passes back last week's philosophy papers. "Everyone's made great progress since we've started. You should be proud."

Eleanor leans over to Michael. "What did you get, bud?"

He shows her.

"Dang, A. Good for you, Michael."

"Well, I am a superior being," he says, rubbing his leg and smiling like a dope.

"Hey, we should celebrate. Do demons celebrate? Or is that just torture for you guys?"

It's just torture. He knew better than to ask Eleanor if he can have a go at one of them (like forcing Jason to listen to a blow-by-blow recap of every Jaguars defeat). Besides, he doesn't really want to, anyway.

Huh. Imagine that.

Instead he says, "In some of the other reboots, you would try to distract me from investigating the neighborhood anamolies by doing fun human stuff. We played aracade games, sang karaoke, went bowling--"

Suddenly, Jason jumps into the conversation. "Laser tag! Did you play laser tag?"

Michael thinks. "No, we never got around to that."

"Yo, homies, we have to play laser tag. I am a beast at laser tag. Me and Pillboi would do a bunch of shrooms and then go crazy all over the place. Also, I think I shot a mall cop once. Or maybe that was a dream."

Eleanor nods. "Laser tag could be fun. Don't know about the shrooms part."

She eyes Chidi, silently asking him.

"Definitely not," he says.

Twenty minutes later, thanks to Janet, Michael finds himself wearing purple plastic strapped over his chest and carrying a fake gun, surrounded by enough multi-colored smoke to fork up the humans' vision but not his. Without ever explicitly agreeing to anything, he and Eleanor have formed an alliance. He saves her from Jason's sneak attack, and together they shoot him in the chest twenty times.

"Yes!" Micheal shouts.

"Eat that!" Eleanor screams.

"Aw, man," Jason says, with the same dejected look as when he popped Pikachu.

He and Eleanor high five.

Then his chest lights up.

"Ooh," Tahani says, smiling like she can't believe her luck. Michael can't either. "I'm starting to get the hang of this!"

She notices the murderous glint in Eleanor's eyes, and bolts into the smoke.

"Don't worry, I'll avenge you," Eleanor tells him, then she shouts after Tahani, "You're going to die, you sexy skyscraper!"

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to him.

* * * * *

So he can't marbalize Janet. And also may have teared up in front of her, despite no known demon ever crying before. So what?

* * * * *

Eleanor Shellstrop is an enigma. Nothing about her behavior on Earth indicates she should be able--or willing--to sincerely change, and yet she has. She has a limited human brain yet she keeps outwitting him. No one can rile him up like her, yet no one understands him quite like her, either.

Also, he made him a paperclip bracelet that one time.

That's why he visits her instead of Chidi when he's feeling frustrated with ethics. Because even if she is a human, she understands him more than his own kind ever did.

They sit across from eachother. In the artifical light, he can't tell if her eyes are more blue or green.

They talk a while, and in the end, she tells him that she believes in him. That she believes it will all work out. He doesn't fully understand why, but the words stay with him long after he leaves, keeping a smile on his face that he can't wipe away even if he tries. He's still smiling when he walks into his office and sees Shawn at his desk.

* * * * *

Shawn tells him it's everything he ever wanted, and he can't disagree. Because it is. As an apprentice, toiling away on others' designs, he dreamed of the moment that his own work would be recognized. Micheal the Architect, senior staff member, exhalted in the Bad Place.

It would be so easy to snatch the pin, place it on his lapel, and pretend that the last few months never happened.

He's not sure what will happen to Janet, though. It's not like they can realistically sneak her back to the warehouse. Maybe they'll reboot her, and reuse her for a replica neighborhood. As for the humans, he knows exactly what will happen to them; they'll be tortured forever. He tries to imagine it. For some reason, he keeps going back to the moment that Trevor threw his arm around Eleanor, prepared to take her to the "Bad Place," and the way she looked, resigned and disgusted all at once.

He remembers stretching his hand out to her, and her accepting. He remembers leading her back to the fake Good Place.

It turns out he's already made his choice.

He doesn't even regret it.

* * * * *

He collapses into Eleanor's arms like a puppet whose strings were cut, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"I was so worried for you! You're my friends and I wanted to save you!"

Eleanor whispers that it's okay. He wishes he could believe her, he really does, but he can't escape the fact that they're completely and utterly forked. The humans still think he can get them to the real Good Place, but he knows that they don't have a chance. They're at the end of the road. They've seemingly run out of options.

But maybe he can figure it out, if he stalls long enough. He's done it before when he thought he hit rock bottom, and he can do it again. He always figures something out.

* * * * *

He doesn't figure it out.

* * * * *

The Shellstrops are right about one thing: drinking really does help.

He tells stories about past reboots that get everyone laughing. Someone (Eleanor or Jason, he can't remember which) suggest Never Have I Ever. Michael figures out the trick after two turns, getting everyone, even Janet, out with gems like "never have I ever been rebooted," "never have I ever smashed food holes," "never have I ever had a beating heart," and "never have I ever been to Earth." By the time they try to gang up on him ("never have I ever tortured humans," "never have I ever worn a fake human suit," and Jason's "never have I ever worn a bowtie", which gets both Chidi and Tahani fuming because Micheal and weird turtle dealers aren' t the only one's who wear bowties, Jason) it's already too late.

"That's not, that's not even fair," Tahani says, swaying sligtly. "How do we even know--can you even get drunk?"

"I can," Michael says with dignity. "It just takes longer."

"Prove it!" Eleanor starts up the drunken chant, getting the others to all chime in. "Prove it! Prove it!"

So Michael downs an entire bottle of whiskey in one go.

In retrospect, that might not have been his smartest decision.

* * * * *

In the end, Eleanor's the one to come of with the crazy, bound to fail plan. The humans slowly trickle back to their beds, since humans need to be well rested before facing off against impossible odds, until it's just him and Eleanor left sprawled on the blanket, their legs stretching out before them. Eleanor rests against his side. Tonight, in the Michael-made starlight, her eyes look more green than blue. There's a pleasant buzz in Micheal's brain, leaving him light and (despite everything) happy.

"Micheal," Eleanor says suddenly. "Do you think there's something wrong with me?"

"Not particularly," he says. "Why?"

"You said that me and Chidi were 'in love,'" she starts to use air quotes but gives up halfway. "But now we're not. Or he doesn't feel that way, or can't decide what way he feels, I don't even know. I don't know if it's me--if there's just something unloveable about me."

Something about that statement hurts Micheal, but he's not sure why. He's no good with feelings talk--he only just learned what 'guilt' means. But Eleanor was there for him when he needed it (a smile across a table, a hand patting his back) so he gives it his best shot.

"Chidi's just Chidi," he says. "He's trapped in his own Chidi world, which, just between us, is what made torturing him so fun. There's nothing wrong with you. Whatever Chidi's dealing with, it's not beccause you're 'unloveable' or whatever."

They're quiet for a moment.

"Hey, Micheal? Do you really think kissing is that gross?"

His face twists in disgust. "Yes. But to be fair, I think a lot of human bodily functions are disgusting."

"Cuz we're like cockroaches," Eleanor nods sagely.

That's not...entirely right, but he can't figure out why.

"Sooooo," she says. He knows that look in her eyes. "Does that mean you wouldn't ever try kissing? Just to say you tried it?"

He barks out a laugh. "When would I ever get the chance to try it?"

"Well, we could. Right now. If you want."

Michael feels too warm again. He's having trouble meeting those more-green-than-blue eyes. He's suddenly aware of how close they are, pressed together like this.

"Why--would you--you, you actually want to?"

"Sure."

He's always trusted Eleanor before when it came to human things. And he can't lie to himself: he does like the feel of her in his arms, pressed so closely that he can feel her heart beat, away from everyone else. He doesn't want it to end.

"Okay," he says softly.

It's a little awkward at first, because Micheal doesn't know what to do while Eleanor shuffles around, positioning herself in front of him. She closes her eyes, so he does too. Her hands are on his back and her lips press against his. It's...nice. Her lips are soft and warm and not as gross as he expected.

She pulls away too soon. She leans forward, like she wants to sit on his lap, but loses her balance. He catches her before she faceplants the grass.

" 'm okay," she says.

A voice in his head, which sounds suspiciously like Professor Buzzkill, tells him she's not.

"Okay, it's time for bed," he says. "Sleep it off."

She lets out a disappointed whine, but she doesn't fight him. He pulls her to her feet and walks her back to the clown house. Just as they reach the door ("Ya know," Eleanor slurrs, "tonight I'm not even gonna mind the creepy clowns watching me sleep."), a terrible thought occurs to him.

"Eleanor? Was I a rebound?"

"What? Pff, no. You're not a rebound. You're...you're Micheal."

He pretends that he knows what she means.

* * * * *

Why didn't he grab another pin? Stupid, stupid. Eleanor watches him fumble through the jackets, trying not to freak out, but he can feel the tension radiating off of her from the seventh dimension.

It's too late. Shawn's on the balcony. He has two options. He could go through the portal after the others, leaving Eleanor behind to be torture. Forever. Or he could give her his pin, be retired for sure, while Eleanor has only a slim chance of winning her case.

Once, there wouldn't have even been a choice. He doesn't want to be retired. He remembers his existential panic when Chidi explained death to him. He thought it was the worst possible fate.

Now, peering into Eleanor's panicked face, he can think of another.

She doesn't understand as he explains the trolley problem, not until he removes his senior staff pin and pins it on her dress.

"No," she says.

"Take care of the others," he says. He is sad that he won't get to see them all on the other side, but he knows that they're all in good hands if Eleanor's there to guide them.

"Goodbye, Eleanor," he says, pushing her through the portal. He's tempted to kiss her before she goes, because that warm feeling is building up in his chest and it needs an outlet, but there's no time. He hopes she understands all of the things he doesn't say, because he sure as hell doesn't.

She vanishes. She's safe now, he thinks as he waits for Shawn to reach him. He knows that he's facing rock bottom--in all of eternity, only eleven demons have been retired--but he can't find it in himself to care.

gentle breeze - pt. 12

♡ - list of chapters

and another round of sobbing starts, as hongjoong panics and tries to calm seonghwa down again.

the school day ended, and many students made a beeline for the school gates, or to the dorm blocks. hongjoong and seonghwa were no exception. they squeezed into the crowded stairway, making their way up to the third floor, where their dorm resided.

along the way, hongjoong had noticed that many students had turned around and gave them weird looks. he had known this would happen but didn’t give it much thought anyways. he looked over to seonghwa to check if he had noticed too, but instead, a smile lingered on his face, like he was in his own world. seeing this, hongjoong smiled to himself. it was great that seonghwa had opened up to him. he didn’t know if it was just him, but he felt that his ‘cold’ aura had disappeared. he felt and looked much warmer. he was even smiling to himself.

“hwa,”

“mm?”

“you should smile like this more often,”

“oh…”

hongjoong chuckled at his small reaction and continued his way up the crowded stairs.

once they reached their dorm, hongjoong placed his bag on the floor beside his study table, and collapsed on his bed, whipping out his phone.

he decided to check the student website first, and as soon as the page loaded, their news was on the banner of the homepage.

'ice prince' seonghwa and transfer student hongjoong! what is their relationship?!

hongjoong scoffed as he read the title of the article.

a video of them hugging was posted too, along with a picture of a crying seonghwa.

hongjoong still can't quite understand why the school is making a huge fuss. yeah, seonghwa might have a reputation that's not as bright, but he's still human, right? why can't he cry?

"i shouldn't have done that... i'm sorry. now everyone's talking about us," seonghwa, who was seated by his study table, apologised in a quiet voice, looking at hongjoong with a soft gaze.

"hwa, i told you not to apologise. it's not your fault. we're all human. we're able to cry," hongjoong returned the gaze, and went forward to give him a tight hug.

ah, how warm it was. how protective it felt. seonghwa felt that he could overcome any difficulty with it.

"j-joong-"

"hongjoong-yah! open up!" a few loud knocks and a loud and rough voice interrupted their mini hugging session. the voice belonged to our dear song mingi.

annoyed, hongjoong took his time to open the door, and mingi rushed in, along with a flustered yunho.

"hongjoong, seonghwa, have you heard?" yunho exclaimed, looking as if he's just been chased by someone.

"the headlines? yeah, we have," hongjoong answered nonchalantly, grabbing his chair out for either of them to sit on. seonghwa too gave up his chair for them and sat beside hongjoong on the lower bunk.

"why do y'all seem okay with it?? if it was me i'd be jumping," mingi asked, raising his eyebrows. "look, i'm so nervous, and y'all just sitting on the bed like,"

"like what? we're different people," hongjoong raised an eyebrow and gave him a look, "why'd you come all the way here? just spam the keyboard through text,"

"well, because we know who posted this, and i can have him take it down," yunho answered, and the two victims looked at each other, shocked. "what do we have to do for you to tell us?" seonghwa mindlessly asked in a hurry, earning a chuckle from yunho.

"no worries, friends. we don't need anything in return. or, we could be closer friends after this?" yunho grinned, showing his cheekbones, which are mingi's favourite part about him.

seonghwa's eyes lit up, and nodded his head eagerly, like a child receiving their favourite candy. hongjoong smiled at the scene, his heart warming up at it. for the nth time, hongjoong swore that he'd stay together with seonghwa for the rest of his life.

"thanks, guys! what could we ever do without you?" hongjoong gave yunho and mingi each a hug. "we are now a squad. plus yeosang. and yunho's helpful friend, maybe," mingi announced, placing a hand on his hip, and the other around yunho's shoulders.

"good idea. seonghwa would love it. right, hwa?"

"mm!" at this point, seonghwa was too happy to form words. a… squad!! with him in it! he was beyond cloud 9. maybe he was on cloud 100. maybe his happiness and excitement couldn't be described with words. or clouds.

surprising or not, the news article wasn't such a difficult situation, after all. with the thought of hongjoong staying by his side, seonghwa felt like he could overcome anything. he wasn't scared of any whispers and weird looks the students gave, he wasn't scared of anymore new or old rumors about him. he decided, he didn't have any time for that. for now, he wants to focus on his feelings for hongjoong so he could tell him as soon as possible.

the one who posted it was the friend of yunho's friend, choi san. he was attentive enough to notice that hongjoong and seonghwa from his math class had a thing. he pitied seonghwa, and even wanted to befriend him from a long time ago, but he didn't know how to, since he was a very awkward person and didn't have many friends himself, even though a ton of girls had tried to hit him up. he was glad that hongjoong had transferred, so he wouldn't ever have to try to think of a good conversation starter to speak to seonghwa. he thanked the heavens for giving him this chance to help seonghwa, so he decided to ask his friend to delete the post, in return for 500 diamonds in a game. rip choi san's wallet. /crying noises/

after this whole fiasco ended, the weekends welcomed them. students were able to leave the school compounds for the whole weekend, but had to return before 11pm on sundays.

seonghwa was excited. he wanted to go on a date with hongjoong, even though they hadn't really… started dating. so was this considered a date?

"joong," he called from the top bunk. it was 6.43am, by the way. coincidently, the two of them were early birds.

"mm?"

"if we aren't dating but go on a date, is it still a date?" he asked, shifting his position to the edge of the bed. he let his upper body hang down on the edge, so he could look at hongjoong.

hongjoong was using his phone, but had put it down after hearing the question. he was quite baffled. after all, he had just woken up ten minutes ago, and was shocked after seeing the news of his childhood friend, wooyoung debuting as a soloist. he was shockedx2 after hearing seonghwa's question.

"uh… yeah? it could be a date if you want it to be. why? you wanna go on one?" he put down his phone and sat up, reaching an arm out to ruffle seonghwa's messy hair.

"mhm! let's go to the movies! and then to the arcade! or the karaoke!" seonghwa jumped down from the top bunk, and sat beside hongjoong, bouncing excitedly as he suggested each location. he really reminded hongjoong of a kid going on his first trip to the zoo, or the amusement park. just any place in general.

"sure. we can go anywhere you want,"

"really?"

"really. i don't mind as long as i'm with you,"

"same here! i'm happy as long as i'm with you too!"

damn it… why do you have to be so cute…

hongjoong almost can't take it. be wanted to give seonghwa the biggest and fattest smooch on the lips, and ask him to be his. but he can't. they had agreed to give each other time, and he didn't want to rush things, and even worse, ruin things. that would be the last thing he ever wanted to do.

"alright then. how about we head to the movies, then to the arcade? we can have karaoke another time, i need to head back home," hongjoong patted seonghwa's head as he spoke.

"oh… you have to go back?" damn, hongjoong could literally see seonghwa's ears droop like a puppy's.

"mhm. i have to visit my parents," there was silence for a while, as seonghwa thought of an answer.

"oh!" a lightbulb dinged inside hongjoong's head, "you could come stay over!"

"can i?"

"totally! my parents would be more than happy. they've been worrying about me trying to make friends, so bringing you back would be nice," he smiled gently, playing with seonghwa's hair.

"okay then! we should start packing our things!"

hongjoong had never felt so many butterflies erupt in his stomach as he watched seonghwa run around the dorm, looking for his things.

dang, he really wanted to kiss him.

So, Let’s Just Enjoy the Time We Have

How many days did they have left together?

Henry's time as Kid Danger had been the most enjoyable when he wasn't someone's serious boyfriend. With that new responsibility, he was always mindful that he needed to come home safe, especially after Thanksgiving.

Charlotte gave him a scrapbook for Thanksgiving. He was a little bit salty about it, because he didn't know that they were giving each other stuff for Thanksgiving. While she said that they weren't, but she just wanted him to have this - what "this" was; it was something that he would always be grateful for.

She had used her research and interviewing skills to find articles and stories about Kid Danger and to ask people around Swellview, "Why are you thankful to have Kid Danger?" Their answers were quotes that she included in this scrapbook and the last page was "Why am I thankful to have Kid Danger?"

She went on to give this long detailed report of how she felt about Kid Danger and how Swellview would never have been as safe without him. She had him all choked up and he kept that thing in a lockbox and looked at it every single night since she gave it to him.

Then, they had Christmas together. She spent the morning and afternoon with her parents, but met him at the Man Cave at 4. Everybody did gift exchanges, but Henry told her that hers were at his house, so she opened what she had from the rest of their friends and gave him his gift.

He laughed and asked, "What do you think that you can even give me at this point, after what you did for my birthday and for Thanksgiving?" But, whenever he opened it, he almost started crying. "Is this what I think it is?"

"Do you think that I made an award winning gizmo for the gizmo fair and gave you the improved version so that whenever you're killin' it at Swellview U, you won't have to worry about your spelling?"

He smiled brightly and bragged as he pulled it from the box, "Hey, Guys! Charlotte made me a Pocket Dyslexicon!"

"Actually, it's called the Communiclicker, because it helps you to make things click."

Schwoz wondered, "What does it do?"

Henry began to show him, "It has a voice to text feature that pretty much never gets your words wrong. You can record and save all of your reports or whatever and send them to documents to print… or email or whatever. And she has a feature where I can write a sample onto the screen and it can even create files in my handwriting, from my voice."

"Until more people are empathetic about how difficult reading and writing can be for him, he needs a little boost," Charlotte said, humbly.

"You are always making his life easier and better," Schwoz said. Henry smiled. That much was true. Everything about her was pure and true, to him. He just wanted to give her everything.

Then, whenever they went back to his house, she confessed, "I got you something else."

"What???"

"Because that one was more functional. I wanted to also give you something nice."

"This IS nice. It's one of the nicest gifts ever."

"Yeah, but open this one," she said and gave him a small box.

Henry opened the box and there was a kinda gaudy, but he actually still loved it, pinky ring. It was white gold with November birthstones topaz and citrine, and clear crystals to look like diamonds. "I have been wanting a badass pinky ring for ages!"

"I know!" He gave her a hug and put it on, then took her hand.

Charlotte's gifts were plentiful. Henry figured he could do one good quality one and supplement it with a quantity of others. So, for her quality present, he got her this personalized surfboard, because the school she was going to was near the beach and she said that she would want to learn to surf. They were good at listening to each other. And she loved it, even if she wasn't sure if she would actually have the time to learn to surf.

He got her several articles of jewelry, a naturalista holiday gift basket, and the new Captain Man and Kid Danger talking figurines with 20 rhyming lines. "In case you miss us."

"I'm gonna be in communication with you. But, I love these. I was gonna buy them myself, but Jasper told me not to. Now I see why. Wow. In a few blinks, it'll be months from now and I'll be heading off…"

"I don't want to think about that."

And he didn't speak of it, but he certainly did think about it.

Valentine's Day was epic. Henry planned a VDay Weekend Staycation for them. He cooked, pampered and loved on her for three straight days. It was excellent. She had found the most traditionally romantic gifts that she could think of for this day, since it was really her first real one and simultaneously probably their last one for a while.

He got a huge platter of chocolate covered berries from her, a gigantic teddy bear, roses, a jumbo sized card, and she wore shirts the entire weekend that said, "Henry's Girl" on them. And Henry ate it up.

The Airbnb was in town, but he made sure that they didn't have to leave by providing everything that they needed, along with all the candles and rose petals and stuff he used to woo her for days.

Plus, he bought her a ring, too. "Is this a Pulse Promise ring?" She asked, taking it out of the box. "Henry… these cost A LOT of money…"

"I had it," he said. "Remember whenever you said that you'd rather know as soon as possible if anything ever happened to me?"

"Yeah, but that didn't mean get me a ring with your ding dang pulse attached to it!" But, as she fussed, she slipped it onto her hand. She could feel his pulse in it and she placed her hand over his heart, to feel them in tandem. "It works." She said, then sadly added, "And if God forbid something terrible happens, I'll know right away…"

"I always do my best to come back to you safely," he said. It's basically to confirm for you that I'm okay when you're too far away to really see for yourself."

"Just a couple of months…" she said.

"Shhhhh. We've got all weekend to enjoy. Don't bring it down."

It wasn't that he was avoiding the inevitable, but he really didn't want to dwell on it. Spring Break was litty. He and Jasper hung out while she checked out spaces near her college. She only had two days to actually chill with them, so they made the most of it without her.

For her birthday, since she hadn't allowed them to do anything last time, Henry told her that she'd BETTER BELIEVE that they were doing something this time. This time, she had a party with Jasper, Henry, Schwoz, Ray and Piper. They put her on a throne that Henry decorated, in a crown that he bought her and did a gift presentation. "This is really extra," Charlotte observed. "But I'm enjoying it."

Ray came up, patted himself down and pulled out a folded envelope, "Happy Birthday!"

She accepted it, looked at it and told him, "This is my paycheck."

"Hand delivered to you. You're welcome."

"I mean… I earned it, so it isn't a gift…"

"The gift is that I hand delivered it to you. You are welcome."

She rolled her eyes and waved him away, excited for whatever Henry's gift would be, though at this point, she was positive that they had been spending WAY MORE than they should have this close to their independence. Henry told her, "Don't freak out. Your gift isn't something that you can take with you…"

" Why would I freak ou…?"

He showed off his collarbone and revealed to her a tattoo that made her not only gasp but almost choke on her own saliva. "It's an infinity symbol with our names scripted into it." Everybody but Jasper gasped too.

Piper said, "Mom is going to kill you! I'm texting her right now!"

"I'm 18, Piper!" He reminded her, then asked Charlotte, "What do you think?"

"I think that's a serious and permanent decision!"

"That you love?" She was stunned. Ray pulled him aside before she could respond and she was glad, because that was SO overboard, in her personal opinion. She would NEVER get a boy's name tattooed on her. Not even Henry.

Ray whispered, angrily, "You put an identifying mark on Kid Danger's body???"

"I put it on MY body. My body, my rules."

"Your rules are being VERY reckless right now."

"Dude, if ever someone gets Kid Danger naked, I doubt they'd have left the mask on and if I die or something like that, I'll be dead. Chill out." He patted him on the back and returned to the Queen of the Day.

She came off of her throne and spoke quietly. "Why did you do that? Henry, have you ever once considered that this might not BE a forever thing?"

"Of course I've considered it. I consider it all the time. But, I know how I feel, what you mean to me, and who we are. Even if "this" isn't a forever thing, these are forever feelings for me. Besides, you're my best friend." She sighed. It was done now. "You hate it."

"I don't hate it, it's just… scary. Do you know how close we are to our lives and relationship changing drastically?"

"I'm not concerned about it…"

"Less than two months and our world shifts. We have no idea what the future holds."

"Okay, but that means you don't know if after you're done with school, we'll be inseparable again. So… I'm confident in my decision."

"If you like it, I love it."

"THAT is all I wanted to hear!"

But, she was right. Less than two months. How many days did they have left together?

"Not enough," he said to himself.
