Synopsis: Bryce has a special surprise waiting for Olivia.

*This is a follow up to the textfic Build-a-Bear: After Dark

Olivia paused in the doorway, her eyes widening, her brow arching curiously. "What's that look for?"

"What look?" He shrugged, feigning innocence. 

"You know the look. What are you up to?" Her gaze narrowed on him. 

Bryce stepped aside, revealing two boxes on the table.

"It's not—" She panicked for a moment, hoping she hadn't gotten her days wrong, but no, it was definitely still the thirteenth. "Valentine's day is tomorrow."

"I know!" 

"So what are these?"

"You were so excited about them that I thought you deserved an early gift."

Her puzzled expression quickly gave way to warm, rosy cheeks. "Oh... Oh! From my text? You really bought them?"

"How could I not?" He wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Her face scrunched as she bit her lip nervously. "Do I want to look? How cringy are they?"

He nipped her ear softly, whispering, "only one way to find out."

She inhaled deeply, preparing herself. "Okay. I'm ready. Wait—where are we hiding these?" She panicked. "We can't let anyone else see them. Ohmygosh, where is Keiki? I can imagine her commentary if she found them."

"Relax." He held her tenderly, nuzzling into her neck. "Keiks will be staying with friends for a couple of days. It's just us. This is for us. No one else needs to know if that's what you want."

"Are you sure?"

"This is for you, for us, whatever makes you happy."

Olivia nodded, her smile growing. "Do you know which is which?"

"Yes."

"Should we open them together on the count of three?"

He pressed a kiss on her shoulder and moved beside her, taking one of the two boxes. "Ready?"

"Yes... 1...2...3..." Olivia closed her eyes as she opened the box quickly. 

Bryce laughed, watching as she opened one eye and then the other, stealing a peek inside the box. 

Her worry faded quickly, a smile growing wide. She lifted a stuffed bunny dressed in a white robe with bunny slippers, a mask, and rose wine. "What is this?"

"I went to order two from the ones you sent me, but while I was on the Build-a-Bear After Dark website, I found this one, and I felt it was much more you than the other two."

"Bryce!" Her eyes widened as she hugged the stuffed animal to her chest. "She's adorable, but what about yours?"

Carefully, he opened his box, revealing a sophisticated bear in a silk robe and pajamas, pouring a glass of champagne. "I thought this would match yours better. I mean he's a handsome bear, and he doesn't need to be lounging in front of a fire in his boxers to be handsome. He knows he's got it."

Olivia stifled her giggle in her stuffed animal as she held it to her face. "They're perfect. Thank you. I love them so much... I love you so much."

"I love you too, Liv." He extended his hand to her. "But you're not done. This gift has a part two."

She laced her fingers with his. 

"What? There's more? Bryce. It's not Valentine's day."

"I know." He took his bear from the table. "Your bunny needs to come too."

"Why am I suddenly nervous again?"

"Don't be." He led her to the bedroom. The soft glow of candles bathed the room in their warm light. A white robe lay on the bed, bunny slippers on the floor below it matching that of her Build-a-Bear. 

"What is all this?"

"How can you have a spa day rabbit without a spa day for yourself, or in this case, a spa evening?"

"Bryce, I—" She shook her head, searching for the words as she took in the tranquil scene. "I can't believe you did all this."

"You deserve it." His thumb brushed over hers as he released her hand. "I'll take your bunny. SpaOlivia and ClassyBryce will be over here enjoying their evening together. You relax, have a glass of wine, wash up from work, and when you're ready, I'll be here ready to give you a massage."

"A massage or a massage," she smirked, knowing all too well how this could end up.

"A massage, the very best, satisfaction guaranteed. My magic hands are ready to pamper you all night."

"What did I do to deserve you?" Her finger traced his jaw as she studied his face. 

He leaned down, meeting her lips softly, capturing her in his arms once more.

"Bryce?"

"Yes?"

"Will you be my valentine?"

"Always."

"Even if it's not technically Valentine's day for a few more hours?"

"Today, tomorrow, and every day after that. I will always be your Valentine."

"Good. Me too!" She rocked up on her tiptoes, pressing a kiss on his cheek before grabbing the robe and slippers and retreating to the bathroom to wash up for her spa evening.

I wrote this in about 20 minutes and didn't really have time to edit/revise so I apologize for any errors, I really just wanted to share this story now incase I never had time to fix it up.

I absolutely loved the original Build-a-Bears Olivia sent in her text. I totally could see Bryce getting them for her, but upon further review of the "After Dark" part of the B-a-B website, I found these two others that I feel perfectly capture each of them a bit better. I hope you enjoyed this, I know a few of you were curious to see which Bryce bought and I hope you were not disappointed

Thank you so much for reading. I am truly grateful for your support.

poem from feb. 2022

I’m sometimes unsure why my writing goes unnoticed

As if words uncited are words unheard

Word that have not yet been categorized or theorized

Remain as good as silence

Unknown by the masses

As good as unspoken experiences

But I have lived those things

Those theories you speak of 

The Westernized quantities of numbers

They are part of my everyday life

So why will you not hear me?

Are my words not loud enough for you?

My whole life I have screamed

The bleeding words of a woman begging to be heard

And I scream to you again and again

I will not stop although I will suffer the consequences

And I remain aware that you do not

For you only notice and choose not to act as I cry

I tell you so clearly

So publicly I make my needs be known

I have for years

Sketch-dump under_glitches

Well, hi again! today i'm going to post some of my underglitches drawings/sketches, i'll put only the digital ones in this post, later i'll post the traditionals (there are more of them)

I'll explain the context of each of these drawings

Those above are some characters practices, i drew these just to understand the way i'd draw them

Here i tried to set the dynamic between sans and Frisk, the context to this conversation is sans's "visit" to the loading screen(void), Frisk and Chara saw a giant blast while they were reseting, i'll give more details next post

Finally Sans Gaster Blaster design (First version)

This is the first design i've come to think of, later i changed it to be more humanoid, newer design will be next post

This an Alter version of page 10, not as bad as i thought it was back then

Here are the pages i was working on (12 and 13), i was going to finish them this year but as i said here, the script had more holes than a swiss cheese

The UNKOWN

AANNNNDDDD the "villan", basically "he" was an error created after Frisk reseted the timelines too many times

"he" has these tantacles that can be used as arms, everything "he" touches becomes "glitchy" (thats why this au name's under-glitches lol) and he can posses other NPCs body, but only the "weak"ones, i have his whole origin story, maybe i'll do a post about it later

All drawings from this post were done in december2021 and february2022

And for this post that's it, i'll post the traditional drawings tomorrow, hope you have a nice day, see u next post :D

Mio's Hikikomori Period in February 2022: A Misunderstood Choice

In February 2022, during her hikikomori period, Mio found herself dealing with many people who did not understand her choice. This misunderstanding caused her a lot of frustration. 🏠🔄

Mio's decision to withdraw from society was not an act of isolation, but a need for reflection and introspection. It is not always easy to make others understand personal choices, especially when they go against social norms. 💭🔖

Despite the misunderstanding and frustration, Mio continued her journey. She showed courage and determination, remaining faithful to her choice despite the difficulties. 🌟💪

Mio remained true to herself, even when others do not understand. 🌼🔙
