MASTERLIST | MY PATREON

2011

It was a tradition between your friend group at this point.

For the last two years, you've been celebrating New Year's Eve at Jonny's place, all of you getting together to celebrate and reminisce about your memories together.

You loved your friends to pieces, your group wasn't exactly huge, but you've made a bond so special over the years that no one could easily break.

However, you surely had a different and deeper connection with your best friend, Harry.

You met Harry the first day of middle school, and ever since your first interaction you've been inseparable. As time passed and you got closer to Harry, you began noticing some changes in how you felt. His laughter made you feel happier, his support meant a lot more, and being around him felt different—like something special. Sometimes, you found yourself admiring him in a way that went beyond just being friends. You started to realize that your feelings for Harry were growing into something deeper than friendship, something you hadn't felt before. It was like a secret you kept in your heart, waiting for the right time to figure out what it meant and terrified that making a move would ruin your friendship.

"Hey! I was looking for you." Harry's voice interrupted your train of thought, making you move from the fireplace you've been standing for the last few minutes.

"I got cold outside, wanted to catch some warmth." you said, looking at your curly haired best friend.

"The countdown is about to begin," he let you know, "Let's go with the rest."

You followed him to where your friends were hanging out, sitting next to him.

"What's on your mind? You're really quiet."

You took a moment before replying, "Just thinking about how everything's going to be different next year, we're barely going to see you."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked, a frown appearing on his face.

"You know, the band is taking off and you're going to be so busy," a confused look took over his face, "Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud of you, we all are. I'm just going to miss all of us here together, at Jonny's place."

"Come on, none of that," he said as he noticed a pout making its way to your face, throwing his arm around your shoulders and pulling you to his side, "I'm always going to be around, you won't get rid of me that easily," you laughed at this, "Next year we're all going to be right here together and nothing's going to change."

And as the clock counted down the seconds till midnight you wished for one thing: I wish he doesn't forget about me

2013

"Hey, stranger."

"Hello to you too, miss"

Harry's voice echoed through the speakers of your car, making you laugh as you drove the streets of Holmes Chapel, heading to your favorite wine shop.

"Are you coming to Jonny's place for New Years or are you going to spend it with your famous friends." You joked, and even though you couldn't see him you knew he was rolling his eyes.

"Of course I am, that's every year," you smiled at his words, "Besides, I need to see you so I can tell you all about this girl I'm seeing," and just like that your smile quickly faded, and you were glad he couldn't see you because you could swear your face dropped along with your heart, "I'm super thrilled, we hit it off right away and I honestly can't wait for you to meet her."

You weren't sure how many seconds passed in silence from you,but soon enough you heard Harry's voice asking if you were still on the line.

"Yeah, just got distracted by the traffic," you lied, "I can't wait to hear all about it, I'm glad you're happy."

New Year's was days away but you already had your wish in mind: I wish to be the girl for him someday

2015

There was just one thing in your mind as you sat on the bar stool with a drink in your hand: this year sucked.

That year, Harry had a super busy time with lots of success. He kept in touch, but it wasn't like before, your talks became shorter, and you didn't hang out much. You understood he was busy, but it felt different, you missed him and the fact he didn't show up for New Year's hit hard

On top of that, the headline "Spotted: Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles Getting Handsy on a Yacht" was the first thing you read in the morning, and it hurt.

You weren't even celebrating at Jonny's place, which made the night even more depressing for you, your friends insisted on trying something different and celebrate at a rooftop bar instead.

Maybe you held on to nostalgia too much, but you missed the old days when everything was simpler and you had Harry next to you.

"Hey! Countdown is about to begin, what are you doing on your own?" Ellis, one of your closest friends, called for you making you hop off the stool and join them.

"Everyone has their wishes for the new year?" Jonny asked the group, and you knew exactly what was the only thing you were going to wish for: I wish things would to go back to how they were

2019

"Look who finally showed up!"

Jonny's voice made everyone turn their heads towards the door, where a cuddly looking Harry stood with a bottle of wine.

"Hello to you too, mate." Harry said, making his way toward his best friend and giving him a hug.

After letting go of Jonny, he locked eyes with you and wasted no time to pull you close and wrap you around his arms.

"I missed you," he mumbled against the crown of you head, where he placed a small kiss, "I'm sorry I haven't texted, you know how chaotic album releases are."

You smiled with a tingle of sadness, Harry had just released his second album 'Fine Line', one that he described as having sex and feeling sad and that mainly talked about his most recent breakup.

A breakup that you helped him get through even though your own heart was being obliquely broken by him once again. But at the end at the day, he was still your best friend and there was nothing in this world you wouldn't do for him.

"It's okay, you're here now." You let go of him and squeezed his arm one final time before joining the rest of your friends in cheerful conversation.

Like every year, the night flew by and before you knew it you were a few minutes away from midnight, so you took that as a cue to look for Harry who had been absent from the room due to his phone ringing.

"H? Are you done with your phone call?" you asked, getting close to him, "Is everything okay?"

"It was Camille," he said, turning to look at you and showing you a small smile, one that gave away his contentment about it, "She said she wants to talk in person, to work things out."

"Oh that's, that's good I guess." You tried your best to give him a fake smile.

"It's more than good, this is great!" his smile widened as he moved from his place and wrapped an arm around your shoulders to give you to where your friends were calling for both of you, "Never thought this year would end like this."

His words echoed in your head as you stood with your friends who counted down the seconds until midnight, and a single wish came to your mind: I wish loving him didn't hurt so much

2023

The familiar setting at Jonny's place made you feel comfortable and at ease, no matter how busy your lives had been that year, your friends would always show up to celebrate the new year together and that was something you deeply cherished

This year had been extra special, with every aspect of your life blossoming, but there was a certain thing that made 2023 a great year: your relationship with Harry.

You two had become even closer that you were before, you had always been best friends who shared everything but things felt different now.

Maybe it was the way you exchanged looks that lasted a bit too long, the accidental touches that sent shivers down your spine, or the things you both didn't say but felt.

You couldn't shake the feeling that maybe, just maybe, Harry finally felt something more too. But your intrusive thoughts, the fear of ruining your friendship and the amount of times you've been heartbroken over the years kept pushing these thoughts away every time they popped up.

"Praying to the God's above that Harry finally kisses you at midnight?" Ellis' voice almost made you jump on your spot on the couch, she plopped next to you with a beer on her hand and a cocky smile.

"Ellis! What are you on about!" you complained, making her roll her eyes.

"Come on! We all know that's what you wish for every birthday, and we've noticed that he can’t keep his hands off you tonight, walking in hand in hand and all."

It was your turn to roll your eyes, but you could feel your stomach twist at her words.

After a few more drinks and not so subtle teasing from your friends about you and Harry, you slipped away for a bit, needing a break from the noise. Soon enough Harry spotted you by the window, looking up at the stars.

"Hey," Harry said standing next to you, you smiled as you felt his arm wrap around your waist, "The countdown is about to begin."

"Let's go join them then." You moved from the window and tried to head towards the living room, but Harry's hand grabbing yours made you stop on your tracks.

"Actually," he avoided your eyes, focusing on the scenery outside for a moment, "I've been wanting to talk to you about something, I don't even know if this is the ideal time but-"

"Hey," you cut him off, finding his eyes and giving him a tender smile, "It's okay, you know you can tell me anything."

"I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, about this year and everything that changed, especially between us," he began, his voice soft yet determined, and your face full of confusion and anticipation.

"These past years have been a whirlwind," Harry continued, "But in all the chaos and changes, there's been one constant, You. And I've been blind to not recognize what that means."

Your breath caught in your throat and you could swear you felt your palms drench in sweat.

"I've wasted too much time not acknowledging it, not admitting it to myself and hurting you in the process," Harry spoke again, his voice laced with a tingle of sadness. "I cherish our friendship deeply, but I've come to understand that what I feel for you goes beyond just friendship. It's something deeper, something I've been too oblivious to see clearly for my own selfish reasons."

His words hung in the air, you could hardly believe what you were hearing, the words you'd secretly longed for so many years, spoken by the person who meant the world to you.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you, I've loved you for longer than I realized, and I don't want another year passing without telling you."

Tears welled up in your eyes and without a word, you wrapped your arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace. It felt like the weight of the years of unspoken emotions was finally lifted, and in that moment, everything felt right.

"I love you too," you whispered, your voice filled with a all kinds of emotions. "I've always loved you, Harry."

From afar, you could hear the cheers and celebrations of a New Year, the clock had reached midnight and your friends already made their wishes.

And as you finally kissed the man you loved after he confessed that he loved you too, there was nothing else you'd rather wish for.

1-800-GRANDLINEBLING ♥ Call Me On My Shell Phone

To celebrate 1K+ followers, I opened up phone lines to the crews! Part 1 of 3 ~ X reader (and one OC) with Kid, Killer Law, Zoro, and Sanji for myself, @quinloki @icy-spicy @yamat0 @mandiemegatron and @leftsidebonfire Part 2 | Part 3

You are now being connected to...

Purururu purururu puru—

Kid: Hey babe, I know it’s been a while since we talked. Even longer since I’ve seen ya…and I miss ya…so damn much. I’ll be back from my trip soon and when I do, I’mma make it be like I never even left. Don’t make any plans for the next few weeks - yeah weeks, you’re gonna be stuck with me for a minute! HAAH? Sorry the line is busy, but I’ll see you real soon. I love you.

Waking up to start your morning routine, you were interrupted when you heard a commotion in your backyard. Hurriedly, you investigated and found that some kind of animal had gotten into your she-shed and left a mess. After you cleaned it up, you went back to your bedroom and was stunned to find your bed made up and decorated with flowers and treats.

"KID!" you squealed as the giant scooped you up from behind, burying his nose in your neck, softly kissing your skin until he reached your lips. Ravenous as he sweetly but impatiently kissed you, leaving traces of his favorite red shade smeared all over you.

"Hey," he finally whispered, kissing your cheek, "Get dressed, I'm taking you out. I have a whole day planned for us."

Killer: Hey gorgeous, it's good to hear your voice. Man I really miss you, actually we'll be docking very soon. Is it alright if I take up your day and night? Heh, you're so sweet. I'll be sticking around for a bit before the next trip, and I'd like to spend that time with you. Yeah? Awesome. I'll be there soon. I'm cooking you the best pasta you'll ever have!"

Killer did not specify which day he was visiting, which made you all the happier when someone knocked on your front door and it turned out to be your new beau. You giggled as he scooped you into a bear hug, your legs lifted off the ground by his strength and height difference.

"Mmmm there she is," he sighed behind his face mask, nuzzling your face to push the fabric away. "Gods I missed the way you feel in my hands," he kissed your cheek softly.

"Kiiilllller not outside," you whine.

"As you wish," he huffed, rushing inside and kicking your door close as you left out a delighted shriek. "We won't be cooped up in here all the time though, I think I owe my girl some spoiling and pampering."

Law: Hey. It's been a while hasn't it? How are you? Thanks, I'm doing ok, I'll be better when we dock on land. The crew is going to do their own thing but I'm hoping I can stay with you and make up for lost time. Yeah? I like the sound of tha--wait, dancing? You know I can--tch--Shachi needs the phone. We'll talk when I see you. No, you're not convincing me to go dancing.

Bitch he thought.

Law landed on your island and it took all of 2 hours before you dragged him to the comic book store. A simple route to throw him off his game - so when your day trip transitioned to lunch date, to at-home-nap, to dinner with friends, to the rave party down the block, he couldn't help himself but follow you into the booming building. All it took was some peer pressure, shots, a lot of tequila, and some glow in the dark bracelets. He's down so bad for you.

Zoro: Hello? Is this thing even on? Oh you can hear me! Good. We'll be on dry land soon enough, and if you want to hang out or whatever, I'm ok with doing that. TCH No, I don't need you to pick me up, I can find your place on my own. Yes I'm sure! I--hm I have to go, the stupid cook needs the snail. I uhm, look forward to seeing you.

You were pleasantly surprised to find Zoro on your doorstep, on time exactly like he said he would be. You didn't miss the way Franky zoomed away on his motorcycle, all sly-like.

"Told you I knew my way around," the swordsman scratched the back of his head, a pink hue grew on his cheeks as his eyes looked everywhere but you.

"Sure, sure whatever you say Marimo," you grin cheekily, and that made him more flustered.

"TCH, annoying ass. Look we don't have to hangout--"

"Shut up, annoying man!" you bite back, the curve of your lips growing wider as you antagonize your crush.

With a huff, Zoro finally looks you in the eye, the blush on his face deepening, "With an attitude like that, I know exactly what we're going to do first. Hope you still have your sparring gloves."

Sanji: MON CHERIEEEEE!!! I've missed you every day like a plant misses the sun on a rainy day. We'll be making port in a day and I can't wait to show up on your doorstep with my heart - no, not literally, I know that freaked you out the last time. Do you need me to pick up anything? You always say 'no its ok,' but I swear you're never inconveniencing me! I swear on the mosshead's life! I'll see you soon my love.

As promised, Sanji appeared on your front porch carrying a picnic basket full of goods and trinkets he brought from his travels. Delighted, you threw your arms over him and he swung you around once before planting a big kiss on your cheek.

"Oh, I've brought a friend if that's ok," Sanji whispered in your ear.

You looked behind him to find a shy little cow trailing behind the French cook.

"Of course," you squealed happily, "Everyone is always welcome here. Let's warm up some milk for this baby to eat."

Holding hands while going on a stroll was something you'd often find yourself doing during your free time together, especially when the sun was shining so brightly while a fresh spring breeze would occasionally sweep through the air.

Humming a random tune while you lightly swayed your joined hands back and forth.

Tetchou couldn't help but let a soft smile grace his lips at the slightly childish action.

No words could describe how much he enjoyed your leisurely strolls together. It would be seen as a nearly generic thing to do together as a couple but for him it was a time to be treated as sacred. Where else could he tuck your hair behind your ears when the wind would blow through it? Or where else could he see the sunlight make you shine impossibly brighter in his eyes, almost blindingly so?

But what really excited him were the "little" discoveries you'd make on your way.

And oh wait? What's tha-

"Y/N."

Hearing your name made you about to turn your face towards him yet there was no need!

Since your boyfriend forgot how strong he was...

Yanking a bit too hard on your arm made you hit his chest with your back, a small "oof" slipping past your lips.

"OUCH, Tetchou??? What in the-"

"Look."

"Huh?"

You let your gaze follow the direction his outstretched arm, finally stopping at what he was pointing at with his index finger.

To your not so much surprise it was a-

"It's a colony of ants. Look at how hard they're working, Y/N."

Before you could even think of stopping him, he had already moved towards them, crouching down to get a closer look.

You let out a sigh yet couldn't help smiling at his endearing but also random antics.

No matter how many times it would help, it never managed to not be funny. The Hunting Dogs were known for how powerful yet also how "eccentric" the members were, yet witnessing it for the first time and continuing to live with it never failed to bring a smile on your face.

Especially with just how cute your boyfriend looked right now! The way his eyes would twinkle at the mention of insects was something you personally could only understand but never relate to.

As much as you would love to go along and try to enjoy it with him, you kinda wanted to continue on your walk.

Because when he's focused on something then it would be a real nuisance to get him away from it.

But that's not a problem for the love of his life, right?

*

*********

Jokes on you, it actually was 💀

Like u got a hunch hes doing it on purpose when he pulls his puppy eyes and that barely but noticeable enough atleast for you pout on u when u said

"I love you, but i kinda wanna yk walk?"

"But Y/N 😟. *points at the ants* only for a minute, please 🥺"

YALL KNOW 😩 YALL KNOOOOW ITS NOT GONNA BE A MINUTE 😔😔😔

Your legs gonna start cramping from watching these fuckers crawl around??? Nah no one CARES 😤😤 jk jk

our cutie tetchouie would NEVER ignore his partners needs okur okur

Like hes already whipped from how we r atleast TRYING to enjoy what hes enjoying

He knows how unlikeable these little crawlers i hate bugs can be but his s/o is trying so hard and he just 🥺🥺🥺 looks at u wirh heart eyes

dw if u cant walk, he'll give u either a piggyback ride yall being cute 😤💕 or the classic bridal style 😩

And dw if he finds another interesting bug but his hands r occupied? Nah, he gon GET THAT ANYWAY

*

*********

"ACHOO"

"Bless you."

"Thanks." You told him as you lightly rubbed your nose with the back of your hand. You loved his hair but it would often tickle your nose whenever you'd try to look over his shoulder as he was carrying you on his back.

It was one of the small ways of him apologizing to you and enduring his antics.

His heart would nearly suffocate him from how much it would swell whenever you'd just reassure him that it was totally okay for you. If he loved ants then it's just what he loved and as his partner, you'd be open for everything that makes him happy.

Yet he still tried to keep it down around you so he was often a bit torn between.

"Ah. Wait is that...?"

Oh no.

You knew it.

You knew what was about to happen next.

Before you could stop him, he was already walking off of the path and into the field.

A whine got past your lips yet he seemed too caught up in his fascination of...?

"A horned beetle!"

Some meters above you, sat a beetle on a branch, seemingly undisturbed by the both of you and yet in Tetchou's eyes, it equaled a sacred national treasure.

A treasure that he wanted to get his hands on.

"Hold tight, Y/N."

"WAIT N-!"

Hooking your arm and legs tightly like a koala around his body, he made a leap for it. You didn't know HOW he managed to do it every time but there he was.

Jumping onto the tree and quickly pulling a tiny jar out of a pocket in his blazer (you don't even know how he even hid that...) and-

"I got it!" He exclaimed in happiness as he jumped down, holding his hand onto the open jar. Screwing a lid onto it, he gave it a quick glance before putting it back into his pocket.

Noticing that you were slowly losing your grip on him, he hooked his arms under your legs, hoisting you up again before almost nonchalantly continuing your walk as if he hadn't just jumped up a tree for a beetle...

"Uhm, you don't wanna stare at it or something?" You asked, genuinely surprised yet almost regretting the question since it could change his mind.

"No, I can do that at home. Your legs are hurting after all."

A smile spread onto your lips at his kind words, only spreading further after hearing a slight hitch in his breathing as you let your lips graze his neck before planting a kiss on it.

"Anything for my love, you know? By the way, have you thought of a name yet for your new little friend?"

"I have but-"

You felt him tighten his grip around your legs before he suddenly began to pick up his pace, walking in long and fast strides.

"Want to be home as fast as possible, so we can you know..."

He peeked over his shoulder to see your slightly reddened face before looking forward, strongly focused on one thing.

"continue what you've started."

A small laugh slipped out of him, your nose tickling his neck as you hid your face in it, immediately knowing what he was implying and well...

You weren't complaining.

You were lounging on the bed in Papa Terzo's quarters. He was out for the day, as Papa Emeritus he is incredibly busy. You as a sibling of sin don't have very many duties, especially since you began seeing Papa. He had gotten you excused from most of your duties.

You were relaxing in the black and purple bedding, the time was 8:00 pm. You could see the sun setting beautifully through the massive window behind his desk. Terzo should be back within an hour at most. You were excited! You had been longing to see him all day. You were quite attached to him, he made you feel the safest and most loved you have felt in years.

Suddenly, you feel your phone buzzing next to you on the sheets. Not really wanting much social interaction with others at the moment, you groan in dissatisfaction as you grab the phone and look at the screen. It is an unknown number. That's weird...

You press the button to answer and hold the phone up to your ear. An all too familiar voice fills your ears.

"Y/N, where have you been?"

It is your father. 

You had fled your home in search of something better a few years ago, and in doing so you found the ministry. You had blocked everyone including both of your parents. They were conservative and abusive. You never, ever, wanted to hear from them again. 

Your breath was caught in your throat. How on earth did they get your number? 

"U-um. Hi" you choked out

"Y/N, answer me. Where have you been?!?" your father yells over the phone

You curl your knees to your chest "I ran away..."

"We have been trying to get in touch with you for years! How dare you just abandon us like that!!"

You want to hang up. You want to so badly, but your body and mind just won't let you. Part of you is too afraid to.

"Y/N, answer me this instant!!"

"I am staying somewhere else..." you say as tears prick at your eyes

"Tell me more..." your father states sternly

"No, im not going to!" you yell into the phone

"Y/N!! How dare you raise your voice at me!! Has the devil gotten to you or something?" Your father screams

Your body starts to shake, you feel yourself beginning to be on the urge of a panic attack. You must stay strong though, you must.

"You need to come home this instant. You have brought shame to our community..."

"NO! Im not doing that. I am happy where I am!"

"Stupid child, I am your father. You. Listen. To. Me!"

"I am an adult, I make my own decisions!!" You scream as tears stream down your face

"Not in our community you don't. I still make the decisions."

"Well fuck that. Im not in the community anymore!"

"Cursing now huh? What has gotten into you??"

You clench the phone in your hand as your breathing speeds up "Im happier now. Just leave me alone."

"This is what the outside world does to you. It brainwashes you! You cannot be happier"

"Well, I am. Deal with it, Dad."

"All that's out there is hellish and the devil. There is nothing good."

"Who says the devil is bad?" You say quietly into the phone

"Who says?? Everyone says!! What is your problem?? Are you nuts?!"

Now you are sobbing, and trying desperately to control your breathing. Him speaking to you again after years absolutely terrifies you. It was one of your worst nightmares after leaving the community, and now it is happening. But you cannot show your weak side to him, you must stay strong.

"The devil sure is better than you ever were."

Before your father can respond, you hang up the phone. You throw your phone down on the bed and curl up in a fit of sobs. You can't believe what had just happened. His voice brought you back to years ago when you were living under his roof.

Your breathing is frantic, and your entire body is shaking. You are having a panic attack and you know it. 

Very soon, Terzo has arrived back. You hear the faint sound of keys turning the doorknob and suddenly the two of you are in the room together. He takes in the sight of your shaking figure and panicked, tear-stricken face and he is immediately filled with concern.

"Mio caro, what happened? Is everything okay?" He questions as he approaches you

You open your mouth to respond but all that comes out is a pained sob. Terzo sits on the bed and pulls you into his embrace.

"Hey... it's gonna be okay yes? Im right here..."

You bury your face in his chest and sob into his arms. He rubs your back and kisses the top of your head in an attempt to comfort you.

"I love you... everything will be alright.. you are safe with me..."

"I-I love you too.." you say through sniffles

After around 10 minutes, you can feel your breathing beginning to become more normal, and you start to calm down. Your tears stop flowing, and he holds you close. You lift your head up to look at him.

"Do you want to talk about what happened amorina? Only if you want" he says with a soft smile

"Yeah, I do..."

He lets go of you so you can sit up and look at him face-to-face.

"I got a call from a random number. I answer it, and it is my father on the other end of the line..."

Terzo is taken aback "Your father? Cazzo... you told me about him.."

"Yeah, him. Well, he had apparently been trying to contact me for years and he wasn't too happy.."

"He yelled at me, he said a lot of nasty things, but I didn't show him my weak side"

Terzo puts a comforting hand on your shoulder. "Whatever nasty thing he said is not true you know. You are perfect"

You smile a little "Thank you..."

"He said a lot of things about how the devil is getting to me. I guess that part is true" you say with a small chuckle

Terzo smiles in return "Sí, the devil is not bad. It is how you found this ministry, it is how you found me"

"I am a little scared though..."

"Why is that? You are safe with me, you are always going to be safe with me"

"I don't know.. what if he finds me somehow?"

Terzo sighs and pulls you close to him again. "He will never be able to get you. I will always be by your side"

"What about when you are on tour? When you are busy?"

"Ah well, I can just have a ghoul keep watch over you. They will tear the hands off anyone who tries to harm you"

You smile against his chest "Okay... thank you Terz..."

Terzo presses a kiss to your forehead "Of course mi amore, do you feel a bit better now?"

"Yes.. I do.."

"Good! Im glad. Just remember, im always by your side forever. No matter what"

You sit up and press a kiss to his lips. You pull back and the two of you look deep into each others' eyes.

"You are everything to me amore, always remember that. Your father is not here to hurt you any longer. It is just you and I now"

He pulls you into another kiss. You will be forever thankful that the dark lord has blessed you with the life you have currently. It is out of your wildest wishes, and you never want it to end. You are safe, you no longer live with your abusive family. 

You are safe in the arms of Terzo Emeritus, you are safe within the walls of the Ministry, for all eternity.

"Just you and me"

TagList: @yo4sblog @miya-akane

"Choose wisely"

"Hehe, yeah, it's a yes!"

"I couldn't be happier! I actually would go right now since there won't be many people there, are you alright with that?"

"I mean... we have classes right now..."

"Yes, I do know that. That's why I will understand if you'd rather to go after school but I assure you that I can make teachers forgive is this one time situation! After all it's me who convinced teachers to go easy on you yesterday~"

You thought about it for a little while. It was school and you could have problems but on the other hand, he seems really good at convincing at today you had easy going lessons. So after giving it some thought you finally made your answer.

"Sure. But you have to promise that you'll get us out of troubles if that happens!"

"I promise you I will! Come on then, let's get going finally!"

Rui grabbed your hand, splitting your fingers while walking next to you to that cafe while the two of you were asking simple get-to-know questions, although you couldn't help to think like he already knew the answer on some questions but still asked them. But your walks didn't last long since you quickly made it to that cafe and it wasn't actually that crowded there, just like the two of you wanted it.

You actually spend some really nice time hanging out, not only at the cafe but walking around gallery, going to arcade and anything more that catched your attention. To be completely honest, you didn't even noticed when it started to get dark outside. It was Rui who walked you home saying that it's already dark and you should get some proper sleep if you don't want to be tired tomorrow which of course you appreciated.

The next day went surprisingly well, none of the teachers had against you that you didn't attended to their classes yesterday and some marked your status as present even tho you were hanging out with Rui. He must be really good at convincing others, huh?

Today you had combined lessons with other class, and right when you were about to leave you noticed that someone left a notebook there so of course you decided to take it to lost-and-found. The notebook was orange with some star stickers on it, so you thought that maybe it'll be easier to find the owner.

Surprisingly a kid from other class you just had lessons with approached you. It was Tsukasa Tenma, you remembered him since he was quite... loud whenever he went, so it's not easy to not notice him.

"Hello! I see that you found my lost notebook! Well then, that's a true miracle for a star like me! You really saved my day!"

"Ah, I was just going to return it to lost-and-found but if it's yours then here you go!"

"Thank you so much! This star owns you a favor! So just say whatever you want and I shall get you that! So do you know what you want now?"

That's the moment you remembered that you promised to meet with your boyfriend in front of the school and you might already be late for it... but on the other hand, you're not going to be mean and maybe Rui will understand that you're just making friends?

[morningstar-chronicles]

oh!! before i go lemme tell you about the DR i'm headed to:

it's a crossover between toh x tmi x pjo x hp, and i'm still valentine morgenstern's biological kid. my bio mother is dead (murdered by valentine) and she was a boiling isles witch and best friends with darius. valentine raised me until i was fourteen, at which point i ran away and darius stumbled across me (haven't decided the exact details but eh). he takes me in and i'm his only child :) (for now...)

my main friend group is boscha, amelia, skara, cat, and amity. boscha is my best friend, and she's a lot nice than she was in the show. she and willow aren't specifically at odds, boscha is just kind of Like That and people tend to peg her as a bully, which i guess isn't entirely incorrect. she's less overtly mean and tends to be a little more fake nice, and she loves to gossip with me. once you get to know her she's actually pretty cool, and our friend group sees that, which is why we choose to hang out with her.

in my DR, despite cutting her off, amity does still do her best to socially protect willow from afar. won't let anyone talk shit about her and still thinks about her quite frequently. thinking about willow and missing willow probably consume most of her waking hours. talks to me about willow (not the rest of the group) because i can keep a secret, and i won't try to mess around. boscha -despite not really liking willow- would absolutely intervene to try and make amity happier (amity is very clearly not happy with her life most of the time, and despite being kind of prickly, boscha really does love us and want us all to be happy).

boscha also does have a specific reason for not liking luz, willow, and augustus though- they're my friends, and one, she's a little jealous, and two, she absolutely does not trust them to look after me like she does. she thinks they're flippant and careless, and they think she's cold and uncaring. both parties are wrong, and i know that, and you know that, but at this point idk what i'm supposed to do. it's not like boscha is much of a listener.

amelia is the other girl in our friend group with green hair- her hair is naturally green! she's captain of the hexside quidditch team, and she loves sports in all capacities. she loves doing makeup but hates wearing it (she says it makes her break out and itches her face- i'm concerned she's just allergic to those specific products), and she's very loud and excitable. she's super friendly to everyone, and she's pretty competitive. sometimes we call her "amy" or "ames", but people who aren't in the immediate friend group still call her "amelia". on movie nights (saturdays) she brings homemade popcorn and it's the best food you've ever tasted. tastes like movie theatre popcorn but better. ames is in the plants track with willow. they're actually pretty good school friends, but they don't really hang out outside of class.

skara is student council president (i scripted one in lmao). amity is vice president and campaigns for skara. her parents want her to be president instead of skara but she just kind of gets annoyed with them and doesn't listen because "that would take time away from her school work". anyways, skara is also super friendly, loves people, makes time for everything, gets good grades, maintains a good relationship with her family and friends, and basically runs the school. she's good at everything, she's absolutely beautiful, and she's the popular kid you wish you could hate for being so perfect but you can't because she's too nice.

cat is like the polar opposite of amelia and boscha. she's super quiet, likes being on her own, and prefers calmer activities like painting or reading. she's the person i go to if i've had a bad day and i just want some peace and quiet time. we don't really talk -we don't really need to- we just sit and enjoy each other's company. she does have a more aggressive side when she plays grudgby though, and she's an absolute menace on the field. she loves going out for tea or coffee (she prefers coffee) and will always join me for brunch. she likes history and medicine classes, and she's in the healing track.

finally we have amity. ohboy this girl is *uptight*. i love her, but she's so stressed out. girl please take a breather. despite not being on the grudgby team anymore, she comes to all of our practices (morning and afternoon, girl is committed) to cheer us on. she's usually in the library either volunteering or doing homework. she rarely has time to hang out, but she'll make time for us by bringing her homework with us or forcibly making time by speedrunning it all in like an hour. she has an insane amount of drive and honestly she terrifies me. she can be a bit socially awkward sometimes, but overall she's pretty cool. she also really looks up to me, even though i'm only like, maybe a year and a half older. she should not look up to me lol.

anyways, i'm also friends with willow, luz, and augustus!! i originally wasn't looking to make more friends, but luz was really insistent and eventually i gave up. at first willow and augustus are kind of afraid of me because i'm like a "popular" kid or whatever, but pretty quickly they find out i'm just like. a person. they're all pretty cool, and they care a lot about each other. they all immediately stop getting bullied by our peers when i'm seen with them (people at hexside are all kinda either scared of me or in love with me lol).

i would keep going but i wanna shift and also this post is already too long okay byeeee ily happy shifting

[obsidiancypher]

You'd think, after all this time, I'd be used to it: the long quiet empty days, the complete isolation, the aimlessness, the avoidance (or rather repulsion) of any sort of social interaction or relationships.

But I'm not.

Practically a decade has passed since I've talked to... well... anybody. I haven't had a "friend" in just about 10 years now. Not to say I don't talk to coworkers or make the occasional chitchat with strangers on the elevator, but I haven't really had any sort of... I dunno... casual friendship with anybody in longer than I can even really comprehend.

And I don't know how to feel about it. It feels bad. I don't know how to describe it. Not good. Like there's something very wrong or missing or, frankly, just plain idiotic I'm doing with my life.

I look back on all the people I knew and hung out with, and... it was easy. Relatively, at least. I was an introvert then too, but I could handle that. I could manage the interactions I had. I could go out and hang with friends. I could laugh. I could relax. But now? I definitely can't. And it gets worse by the day.

Nobody reaches out. Nobody cares. Everybody's moved on. And there isn't a chance for me any longer. This is the future I have before me. Just... emptiness. More of the same, but worse.

I can't even blame them for forgetting about me. I would forget me too. Not only did I completely obliterate myself from the outside world, but I actively retreated from all past attempts to reach out. Life got too complicated for me. I got embarrassed. I was threatened. I ran away.

I can't even say I'm "living for myself" or whatever either. I'm definitely not. Nothing is done for me. Not from others, and definitely from myself. Everything I do, it goes to somebody or something else.

Literally all of it. Long work days, evenings filled with chores or random tasks that don't benefit me in the slightest, going to bed exhausted, waking up over and over again to do shit that I don't need to do, and waking up with so little sleep that I want to scream or cry. Only to do it all again the next day. And for what? An empty bank account. No savings. A shrinking list of dreams and material items that I know I'll never afford for myself. You'd might be asking yourself: Where does that money go? Not to me. Other people's desires. Their needs. Their life goals. I get the scraps. Only problem: There are no scraps. Only increasing debt.

And in return, all I really get are empty promises I make to myself to treat myself next time, knowing full well I won't be able to when that time comes around. Nothing from anybody else. Barely a kind word. Just complaints about how broke I am.

I don't know. I heard a name that I hadn't heard in a long time and it took me back to a decade ago when things seemed so... simple compared to now. Easier. Happier. More fulfilling. A time when, if I wanted to do something or say something or be with someone or feel some sort of way, I just could.

Now, I can't. I just exist, and barely at that.

I say all this and complain and mope, but like... nothing will change. I won't change. This is just how things are. And I know that anybody who did suddenly return to my life would be relegated to such a small and impersonal space and even that would be depressing and embarrassing. Even writing this, knowing anybody would read it, would absolutely be a turn-off of every magnitude for everybody. I'm just pathetic.

I'm not even writing this because I want somebody to read it. It's certainly not directed to anybody in particular. Honestly, truly, I only write it because... I need to put it out there. For myself. It's all I really can do. And even that makes me feel guilty. Like some... pitiful cry for attention from a narcissistic baby. Woe is me. Boo hoo.

Man, even I hate myself. No wonder I am alone.

[cubicle-thoughts]

I binged all of the Attack on Titan anime in 7 days (May 18-24, 2024). I'm left feeling philosophical and existencial. The fans who went through 10 years of emotional attachment while I just breezed through them in a week, makes me feel like I missed out....

I missed out on not just being a part of the community during it's peak, but I feel like binging them left me little room to process my emotions of the series as I jumped from one plot to the next. I gobbled up the episodes like a mindless Titan and only halted when I was working. Only in Hange's death did I feel like taking a genuine break from watching.

While processing the emotions, I realized "huh, I must've really loved her character". I barely shed a tear but I made a sad face which was more than the reaction I had for Erwin's death. Speaking of his death, I didn't "feel" it when he was dead dead, I felt it when Levi made the decision to make it permanent. So I was more sad for Levi upon Erwin's death.

I had to rewatch her death scene via a clip on Youtube because I wanted to "feel" it again. It still hurts especially her afterlife scene. Erwin always being at the front of her and Levi's imagination when looking back to their fallen comrades, never fails to add more emotions. To cheer myself up I rewatched the video of a Hange cosplayer dancing to "talk dirty to me" hahaha iykyk. I won't watch her death scene ever again. I can't.

It's funny because that was the first ever scene I decided to watch a few years ago. It was a clip recommended on youtube. I never watched clips of the anime when it on-going. I put off watching the anime until it was completed because I thought to myself "I can't possibly suffer the waiting period in between seasons if the show was good". I don't know why I decided to break my rule just for this one clip. And looking back, I don't think I even understood why it was called her death scene because she looked so peaceful (note: it was out of context for me and I didn't know Erwin was dead). And it's funny because the me from the past didn't know it would affect me in a big way today.

-----

I never spoiled myself of plot points. I didn't know the ending but was very hopeful that it would be a happy one. Every character death left me thinking "it's okay, the ending's gonna be happy". Like a mantra to keep me optimistic. I read somewhere that Eren could travel back in time (but I didn't read further on how he could) so I was hoping that during the last few episodes, any time now, Eren will find the "happy ending" and go back in time to prevent the war. I much preferred he had altered the timeline where most of his friends never met if it meant that all of them led happy lives because I know Armin and Mikasa would still be with him. If not him, I was also hoping Ymir would instead. Changing her fate by letting the King die and maybe, the outcome would be happier (we'll never know).

But the thing is Eren did find the happy ending...for everyone else that is. I just wanted one where he got it too. Not an ending where Mikasa has 10 years of emotional baggage. God damn it.

A lot of comments/critiques say Eren's choices were done with free will but I'm left thinking that it doesn't seem that way. He chained himself to the only outcome where everyone is free from the titan curse. Feels like he was forced down this path...I guess because he wasn't selfish.

Arghh it would've been easier for me to process if his reason was simply "I want to do this for everyone's sake". At first, I thought his reason was because "protect Eldia, massacre everyone else" then it was "the outside world isn't filled with only flowers so I'll till the land myself and make it so". I think I'll revisit the ending in the future and maybe I'll finally come to my own conclusion.

-----

I binged the show on Netflix and I later found out that they altered the ending. For one, they played Call of Silence during the scene where Mikasa sat beside Eren's grave. After that it cuts to The End card. This ending felt a lot more sentimental both to the character and to the fans. However there was a post credits scene Netflix didn't include (in my region's version as far as I know) where the ending was...a lot more hopeless. Depicting a future where the cycle of war in Eldia never ends and Eren's efforts may not have changed anything. Because his grave is the next mysterious tree that may be holding the parasite that gives the Power of the Titans.

Anyway, I'm wondering if Mikasa married years down the line. The man she was with looks like Jean to me because it can't be Armin. Personally I hope she stayed single because she defied Eren's words asking her to move on just like how she never discarded the red scarf. It's still possible she married though because I caught a glimpse of a ring on her hand in-between the flowers. But married or not, both paths are bittersweet because she clearly never got over Eren and was even buried(?) on the same tree.

-----

Arghhh what a rollercoaster. I'm going to let these feelings simmer for awhile and won't be watching another anime for the next 7 days at least. I find myself watching analysis videos of the ending and random clips. Probably might read some fanfics too because I really want some ErenxMikasa romance, lord knows we only got crumbs in canon.

The show finished airing in November 2023 but it felt like it had been 2 years. I wonder what Isayama is going to do next.

I started watching the series on a whim and ended with eMOtional damage.

Extra bonus (not so) mini tangent: money edition

I also hate the concept of "you should only be spending money on bare essentials of what you need don't spent $50 on stuff that isn't necessary". Because it's like, do you not understand that buying the absolute bare minimum will leave you empty in a very specific way. It becomes depressing, you do not feel fulfilled when you live your life like that.

Money doesn't buy you happiness is a phrase used that once you hit a certain threshold of expendable money, material goods are not going to help you feel content. It doesn't mean you're not supposed to buy fun things. If you fill your home with things that make you happy, you will be happier than if you had nothing. Buying a mug that brings you joy every time you see it in your cabinet is better than buying a $2 white mug that gets the job done. Filling your wall with fanart or other visuals that make you happy will make you feel better than leaving it empty.

Not having the money to buy what you want causes people to get depressed. Living paycheck to paycheck only getting what you absolutely need drives you into a type of despair that I really hope most of you don't have to experience, and I'm sorry if you HAVE had to deal with that or if that's what you're experiencing now.

This also doesn't just apply to material goods. People should have money to do things outside of their home. You SHOULD be able to get out of the house and go to a museum or a concert or a movie or just ANYTHING that doesn't include you being home 24/7. People shouldn't have to think "I'd love to go hang out at my friend's place but I don't know if I can afford the gas money" people shouldn't be thinking "oh I'd love to go to this free event but I couldn't afford to eat out if I went there" it shouldn't be "I'd love to learn something new but I can't afford the class".

I know I make more money than I used to because I no longer have to limit myself to a budget of 1 dollar a day or less for my meal breaks and if I spent more I had to make it stretch multiple days. I used to buy a bag of pepperoni rolls for 5 bucks and I'd make it stretch for at least three days and I hate how expensive it was even if it was more filling. I gave myself SO much shit when I had to stop buying 60 cent microwave noodles because the sodium was giving me KIDNEY PAIN from eating them near daily. I can buy better groceries now but I still live paycheck to paycheck and I have to be extremely mindful of what I'm buying when. I had a lot of things going on at this point in my life's, but only having enough money for food made it 100 times harder to be motivated into waking up tomorrow.

I can buy fun things now, and I can occasionally go do fun things, but there are people who can't do that. And I don't know about you guys, but I still don't make enough money to actually have meaningful savings. Because every time I have a little extra money something new falls apart. Shoes have holes, clothes are torn, furniture broke, always something. And if I went 30 days without a job I'd be in a extremely bad situation. I am closer to going back to that situation than I am being middle class.

Raising minimum wage isn't enough and it won't be enough, unless we hold the market better accountable and have more public resources available, there will always be people barely surviving in this world. And barely surviving means they are not thriving. When people talk the bare minimum needed to survive they do not take in consideration what a person needs to thrive. They don't care about the humane side, the part that feels joy and sadness, they only care about what keeps you alive from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep.

People who say you shouldn't be spending money on things that make you happy don't understand just how much depression can destroy you. Happiness IS necessary, it's a bare minimum for quality of life. And yeah happiness looks different for everyone, but telling people to stop buying fun stuff so they can afford necessities in life isn't fixing the god dam problem.

Complete (Eddie Munson story)

12. I am no reward

Eddie reached up to the cupboard and put down the breakfast tray.

"And if you'd looked here, you could have saved yourself the stress." "I'm sorry I woke you up like that. I had planned to make it gentler." "Then I'll go back to bed and let you do your thing." Eddie pressed a kiss to her hair and returned to the room.

Alissa, with a smile on her lips, placed the prepared breakfast and coffee on a tray and walked into the room where Eddie was curled up in bed sheets, pretending to sleep.

Eddie heard her walk in, so he closed his eyes, waiting to see what she would do, but he watched with a half-opened eye as she bent just in her panties, placed the tray on the floor, and knelt on the bed next to him.

"Good morning, sir." she whispered in his ear, sending shivers up his neck.

She ran her lips over his earlobe, along the jaw and she ended up at his lips. Eddie started kissing her back, cheerfully pulling her under him and leaning on his elbow next to her to keep himself from lying down on her.

"Well Mr. Munson." Alissa started laughing. "You are in a good mood." "I have a beautiful girlfriend. My good mood comes with that." he kissed her again, Alissa felt that it wasn't just Eddie's mood that was growing up. "Don't you want to eat first?" she suggested, but Eddie was already tracing her neck with his lips. "Oh, screw the food."

They ate their breakfast late and cold. After meal, they cleaned up together and lay down on the couch, both having a playful mood.

"What now?" Alissa broke the silence. "Are we going out? We can get something to eat, we'll take a blanket, there's a nice forest in the back. You can walk to the canyon from there. We can take a bath." "Sounds good to me." Alissa was delighted. "I'm going to get dressed. Are you coming?" "I like what you're wearing now." Eddie tugged at her shirt. "Keep it." "And what will you have?" "I'll make a new one." he waved his hand. "I made a T-shirt for every member." "Mine too?" "Especially yours. It was done at very Friday night you played the first game with us." "And if I didn't join you?" "Oh honey." Eddie laughed. "I knew from the first moment you're gonna join us. We are meant to be." "And yet you didn't want to accept me at the beginning." Alissa dragged Eddie into the room, where she took a pair of shorts from her backpack and tucked Eddie's t-shirt into them. "You're Carver. Jason's sister. I'm still in danger of getting beaten up somewhere outside the school." Eddie smirked. "I really believe he'll come to his senses and accept you the way I accepted Chrissy." Alissa looked around the room. "What are you looking for?" Eddie noticed. "Something for the hair. A bandana or something." Eddie opened the closet and pulled out a black bandana with white skulls on it from the top shelf. "Something like that?" he handed it to her. "That's great." Al took it off and tied it in her hair.

She pulled out Eddie's ring on a chain from under her T-shirt and let it hang loosely on the T-shirt.

"All done." she turned to Eddie. "Is it okay?" "You look stunning. As always." but he was most pleased that she was wearing his things.

Eddie packed a blanket in his backpack and put a bag of dry goods, papers and a lighter in the side pocket. Leaving the safety of the trailer, they walked around it and Eddie led Alissa into the woods where he knew a nice place.

"Do you have any plans for the holidays?" Eddie asked. "I gotta work." Alissa sighed. "I got a job this week. And since it's holiday, the arcades will be full." "Oh." Eddie stopped. "And again from four to ten?" "Exactly." Ali waved her hand. "And the time I'm not at work, I'll spend with my boyfriend." she smiled. "Such a happy guy, I can tell." Eddie smiled. "No happier than I am when I'm with him." Alissa poked him in the ribs. "I hope there's no one in the canyon." "Why?" "I'd like to sunbathe while we're there. And I won't if someone were to watch me." Eddie looked at Alissa with a raised eyebrow. "You can." she laughed. "At least that way." he kissed her. "We'll find out soon if we're gonna be alone."

They came out of the forest onto a pebble path, ran down the slope and stood on the shore of the lake.

"Looks like your wish will come true." Eddie spread the blanket and threw his backpack on top of it.

He and Alissa stripped down to their underwear, Eddie sat on the edge of the blanket and Alissa lay down in the sun with her head in his lap.

"You look funny from below." she smirked. "Whatever. You look fucking great from below, dear." Eddie laughed when he saw Alissa blush. "I would say it's my favorite view of yours." "You're an idiot." she stuck out her tongue, rolled onto her stomach and let the sun's rays burn her legs and back a little. "My idiot." she whispered as Eddie slid down next to her.

They lay next to each other without saying a word for a while, Alissa's eyes were closed, but Eddie couldn't take his eyes off her.

"I can feel it." she smiled. "I can feel you looking at me." she turned her head towards him. "It's not my fault. I still feel like I'm dreaming. That when I turn around you'll be gone." he admitted, rolled onto his back, pulled his backpack under his head and lay there. "Why?" Ali lifted herself up and turned to him. "I remember when I came home last Monday after I dropped you off at work, I thought a girl like you would never fall in love with a freak like me." he fixed his big sad eyes on her. "And less than two days later you agreed to be my girl. So I wonder if fate is just playing tricks on me or what I did to deserve you." "Oh honey." Alissa stood up and sat on top of Eddie who immediately placed his hands on her thighs. "I am no reward for you to deserve me." she ran her fingers over his tattoos. "It looks like we've both been lucky in that way." "How is that?" "Because I couldn't have wished for a more gentle and nicer man than you." she bent down and kissed him. "You underestimate yourself. You have no idea how perfect you are." "You must have heat stroke." Eddie was moved. "You must have- Erm- Heat stroke." he shuddered a little at the end, Alissa copying his jaw and neck with her lips. "Yeah. That would make sense." "Stop talking, Munson." she laughed and connected their lips.

The next two hours flew by. Eddie prepared them both a small cigarette, after which Alissa got so hungry that she almost ate the backpack and Eddie was just laughing at her.

They also got into the water, it was cold and they didn't last long in it, both of them got soaked and preferred to return to the heated blanket.

"Too bad I don't have my camera here." she sighed. "It stayed at yours." "No, it didn't." Eddie pulled camera out with a smile. "What do you want it for?" "We'll take a picture together." she was pleased, set up the camera, put it in Eddie's hand and went over to kneel behind him. "Now point the camera at us and press the shutter." she ordered Eddie.

They posed for their first photo together, which when it came out and dried, was pretty successful and Alissa couldn't help but smile.

"We look really good together." she sat down next to Eddie, but he moved her to his lap and ran his nose over her jaw, Alissa quickly took a picture of that moment, which turned out to be very romantic. "I guess I just found my favorite subject for photography." she admitted, showing Eddie the photo. "This is so beautiful." "Same as you." he winked at her.

"But I need your opinions," he tried to protest only to give up soon after, "I likely will tire from shopping and pick the first one to make everything easier." At the expected reaction he chuckled a little, "It's the beach, Bri! I'm not not going to be barefoot, it feels wrong. I'm not displaying my feet.. that's.. so not what is gonna happen!" Laughter rang in between as he spoke, disbelief at what she had said settling into his features, "Don't worry, I'm not making you or anyone be barefoot, I just want you all to be comfortable."

As Bri continued, confusion took over, "I didn't know you wanted us three to hang out?" he questioned, unable to hide the way surprise coloured his tone, "Neither of you get along, why would I deliberately force you two together if there's hurt sentiments there? I…I'm sorry.. I tried that before, talked and tried to see but I just don't know how it would go? I wasn't leaving you out. I didn't mean to give up completely on the two of you ever reconciling… it just… I don't know if it would've helped?" He wanted them to get along since the beginning and even spoke to them about the other and feelings involved, but in all his efforts all he hit were brick walls and high emotions, he knew he was selfish, in more ways that Bri pointed out the time he town, but he could not keep hurting her on things he wanted, "Wait… double dates? Ho-how would that work when you've stated any time you're around Rohan you feel sad? Is there something I'm missing here? I'm very confused. Do you not think I introduce you as family?" He continued to look at her, gears in his head not clicking at what she was meaning, "It's not official, just a thought we thought made sense…I'm very sorry for making you feel that way, truly, I just didn't want to bring up any of the Rohan stuff when I knew it was hurting you." Perhaps that had been the mistake, maybe he didn't try hard enough. "Of course you are, you're family. I want his and your relationship to change, or at least I'm hoping it would? At least for they day when we have kids, you're gonna be a really cool aunt. I don't mean to be selfish in that want, but I picture it a lot." She was one of the reasons for him being in this town.

He gave her another small smile, "No no, not cold feet, just… trepidation? I'm nervous but in a good way? I just hope nothing bad happens." They deserved one day at least, one day where they could smile and not worry about who will die or who will get get hurt but that was a lot to ask for in this town. "I-I no, I'm not gonna freak out like that. That night was a lot for me too? But I should've not reacted like the way I did, it wasn't fair to you after everything you've been through that night as well." Apologies stacked in a habitual manner, a result of everything really, not just life in Lunar Cove, but since the get go he'd always been sorry, at times sorry for existing too. But he shouldn't think on such thoughts, life saw happier moments too and he knew the sun would shine more in the future. "They're not like me, they'll take it well. We don't need code words, it'll be okay. I'm afraid I won't give them a choice," he said and attempted to be resolute in the way he sounded, "They won't want to leave, I know they won't, but for once I think I'll grow a spine and tell them to go. I get you miss them, and I'm sorry for making them leave hope you forgive me one day but I'm so damn terrified on what could happen to them here. And I know the outside world is not without its dangers, but I'll take the chances." Humans simply did not fit in here he knew that first hand. Jonah shook his head, "I'll say no again. I would stay here, I have to stay here. Were you not here and were this a landlocked town and held no bodies of water there would be more hesitation, but I have all I need here. Home is what you make it." And he will make this home. There was a future out there, the pipeline he had for his life didn't include a magical town but plans change and he would just have to adjust with it.

Perhaps he had missed something happening between them, they way she asked that Rohan would a person to contact did make him want to question further but he decided against it in that moment, they could talk later. "I've been told it's not like the movies, but never seen one so really I can't say anything on that, he would more." Hearing husband did feel good though and he felt the giddy excitement returning, "Let's just hope for no old ladies, but yes," he nodded, turning away from the beach and onto the path back, "Home for now."

"I know," She promised him, giving his arm a light squeeze at the thought. "Oh no. Nope. You're going to try on what you want. I'm keeping my opinions to myself. You're the groom. It's your day. Whatever you want, I'll make happen, even if it ends up killing me a little bit inside," She teased, peaking a look up at him from where she was currently still resting her head against his shoulder. But, as Jonah prefaced his next sentence with 'you'll hate this', Bri scrunched up her nose. Lifting her head up as she looked over at him in anticipation. And there it was. She didn't even bother to hide the visible grimace. "Why? Why do you hate me? And it does not make sense! You could have a platform and an aisle. I mean at least for the ceremony. Take off your shoes after in between the ceremony and the dinner, if you insist. But, you want the pictures that are going to be memorialized for the rest of time to have you and your bridal party's feet on display?" She asked with a raised brow. "But, what do I know. It's your wedding. I will not be barefoot though and you can't pay me enough to do that. No matter how much I love you."

"Isn't it?" Bri countered. "Maybe not deliberately, but it does feel like I've been left out. Okay, but when have we hung out the three of us? Ever? Or even with other people? I mean I have Ben. We could go on double dates, but we don't. Bexley treats you two like your her gay dads and Amrita was introduced to you as family the second they discovered they were siblings. And then... there's me and, you can say that's not the case, but I didn't know you were planning on hyphening your names until Rohan told me, so yeah, it does feel like I'm constantly the last to know things. But, it's okay. Really. I get why. Ro probably loves Amrita already and Bexley and you get along with everybody. So, of course, you guys would hang out and be close. She's his sister and about to be your sister-in-law and I'm just the cousin and not a very likeable one at that. So, it's okay, I promise," She told him, giving his hand a small and reassuring squeeze before she dropped her arms back down to her sides. If it had been a couple months ago, she might have been hurt by it or devastated and sure, she'd be lying if she said it felt great to always seem to be the last person to know things, but she also knew that she was overly dramatic and took things way more to heart than she likely should, so she had made her peace with it. "Yeah, you do and that's a good thing. Jonah, it's a good thing. You don't have to try to prove to me that you love me. I know you do and we're always going to be close and hang out. I just... I don't know if I'm really part of the life you're building with Rohan? And maybe that might change, but it might not, and it's okay."

"Good, because you should be. You're getting married! That's huge. And we should be celebrating," She reasoned, trying to change the subject off of the elephant in the room. "Whoa, no, no, no. It's way too late to be getting cold feet- And okay. Well, they won't b..." She started to say only to trail off as she realized that discovering your niece is alive only to have to leave the town to not wind up dead yourself and forget her might do just that. "Okay good, because I- I can't handle another panic attack at the sight of me. No offense. It's just Dilan already freaked out at me and stabbed me back at New Years. And I really can't take another freak out to that extent. Not that I think the aunts will stab me, but you know what I mean. But, okay. I'd like that too. I miss them and home in general, but... maybe we should have a code word for when I should come out? In case they don't take the news too well? But, okay. Yeah, I figured as much. But, question," She bite down on her lower lip as she snuck another peak up at him. "What happens if they don't want to leave? I just wanted to check if you had a contingency plan?"

"I was... I was only joking, but... I don't know if you should promise that? I mean I get you have no plans on leaving town now, but what if you and Rohan decide that is where your futures take you? I mean I know Rohan can't leave right now, but what if he one day decides to walk away from this life for you. would you honestly stay here?" She pointed softly out.

"Obviously I have a binder. I have binders for everything and they're color coding. You know how much organization brings me joy. And I'd love to. Just let me know when you're free and I haven't seen a creepy old lady wandering around yet, so as of now, I don't actually think it's haunted. But, if that changes, I may need you to ask your husband about how one may go about conducting an exorcism. Do I get a priest to bless the place or is that only in movies? And yeah, yeah. You're both happy in love and, you can consider yourself lucky, I just know he's luckier is all. But, okay. Home it is - or, welp, home for now."

[love-toxin]

Coming over to worshipper Eddie's after a bad day, and asking him for help fixing your car. "Eddie knows cars, he can help, right?" Is your thought process. Meanwhile, Eddie is just over the moon to help you.

(cws: worshipper!eddie, f!angelface, fluff, mutual pining, a bit of crying and panicky protective eddie)

"Eddie, I need help."

Your sniffles destroy him in a matter of seconds. Your timid voice coming through the crackly receiver is the last thing he expected to hear tonight, so late that he'd finally started thinking about taking a shower before he crawled into bed. But now he's alert, awake, and begging to know what's wrong and how he can make whatever problem you have go away.

"My car broke down. I'm–I'm down near the highway, by the first backroad off the turn. It's really dark, I…I'm scared, Eddie."

He has to breathe. And he has to remember that he can't teleport, even though every fibre of his being wishes that he could, so he could appear in front of you this very second and reassure you that everything's okay. But since he can't, he cuts out every unnecessary second by squeezing out of you the name of the gas station whose phone booth you're using, and rushing through his spiel–"I'm coming right now don't move stay inside I'm coming I promise" and waiting only until you're calm enough to hang up before he's sprinting and scrambling for the necessities, his keys and wallet and jacket, and doubling back to nearly crash into his desk as he yanks the handle of his toolbox out from underneath it and makes a break for the van.

You're not far, but he peels out of the driveway and kicks up a flurry of gravel anyways, tires squealing as he swings around and throws it into gear so fast the van hits the air as he skids out on to the road. He couldn't be less fucked about a speeding ticket or a reckless driving lawsuit, he needs to get to you and he needs to save his princess.

The first time he actually can take a breath is when he passes by what he knows is your car on the side of the road, headlights out and seats empty. But even so, it's been at least five or ten minutes since he left his phone dangling off the receiver back home, and he won't relax until he sees you as he's pulling up to the well-lit gas station not far from where you'd stopped. While it's barely any time for him, every inch of that space between those two places hurts him, it hurts him to think of every step you took with the cornfields on one side and nothing but forest on the other, cold and alone and scared. It makes him never want to leave you by yourself again, but if nothing else, at least he takes comfort in the fact that he was the first person you thought to call. And when you come running up from the curb outside of the station, and he finally brakes to a stop to roll down his window, Eddie could just kiss that sweet mouth of yours that bears a chill from standing in the night air. You wear your relief so clearly on your face, and oh, how he couldn't be happier to see your skin warm against the breeze and alive.

"Are you okay? Get in! Get in, get warm," Your hands clasped over his feel so good, glorious, but the coolness of each of them worries him and he sucks in a breath when you nod and hurry around the front of the car, and he reaches across the console to open the side door for you and watch as you climb in. "Why were you outside? It's so cold–you don't have gloves!" He exclaims as if the realization just hit him, and as you pull the door shut and buckle yourself in, he pats around the console and glovebox before finally producing an old, holey pair of mitts from his jacket pockets and placing them in your lap.

"I…I used up my change for the phone, so the clerk wouldn't let me stand inside. I wasn't buying gas either, so-" He can tell by the shivers and shaking of your teeth that you've been out there longer than you should've. Way longer.

"You don't let a girl stand outside in the dark at night! That's so fucked!" Some kind of deep, unsettling fury rises up in him as he swivels his head and turns to glare at the unsuspecting station attendant through the clear glass windows, fingers braced around the handle as he clicks open the lock to get out-

"No, no, Eddie! Please," You grab his arm though, and he freezes, eyes totally softened as he looks back over his shoulder and slowly slides back down into his seat. You let out a breath of relief when he shuts the door again, and yet you still don't let him go and somehow move even closer into him. "It's okay. Please don't go. I-I don't wanna go back, don't leave me, please?"

It takes an embarrassingly long minute for Eddie to recover from the way you look into his eyes. The sweet, longing warmth that runs right through him at the sight of your pretty face, the desperation in your touch as you squeeze him and silently whimper for him not to abandon you. How could he? He would never do that to you.

"I…yeah, of course, sweetheart. Yeah. Let's just go get your ride looked at, kay?" With a nod from you the air settles, and he can bring himself to shoot a smile your way as he puts the car in gear. In the meanwhile, you delicately pluck the pathetic pair of mitts off your lap and slip them on each hand, sweetly thanking him over the rumble of the engine as he pulls out and starts puttering down the road towards the spot you had pulled over on.

"Thank you, Eddie. I owe you…just, the world. The world. You mean so much to me." A stifled chuckle erupts from him then, only thinly masking the deep and intense desire that bubbles up inside him in that moment to blurt out how much he loves you. He couldn't, not now, not when you might feel as though you owe him something more because you don't. He owes his life and every ounce of happiness he has to you–but he just smiles to himself, and glances over at you when he has the chance.

"I'd do anything for you sweetheart, I promise. Anything."

Goodnight n Go ~Steven Grant Imagine~

Summary: You have a crush on Steven and can't help but imagine what it would be like to date him.

Author’s Note: I've had this in my drafts for a while and I had been meaning to post this but never had time.

Song: Goodnight n Go by Ariana Grande

Reader’s Pronouns: She/Her

Warnings: none

Please do not post this anywhere!!!

Side Note: This is a secondary blog. If you comment a question down below, I will not answer since this is not a main blog. Please send the question to my inbox if you want a response back!

Tell me why you gotta look at me that way You know what it does to me So baby, what you tryna say? Lately, all I want is you on top of me You know where your hands should be So baby, won't you come show me?

You didn't know what attracted you to the sleep-deprived man but whatever it was, it worked. You were helplessly in love with Steven Grant of the gift shop.

You worked as one of the tour guides in the museum but before then, you used to work in the gift shop with Steven. That's how you met and eventually fell for him.

"So, Steven, where do you want to go to lunch?" You asked as you leaned over the counter. Your afternoon tour had just ended which meant that you were allowed to go to lunch. Normally, yours and Steven's lunch schedules were aligned which let you two hang out more than hanging out outside of your apartment.

"I hear there's this good vegan place not too far from here. They just opened up," Steven suggested.

"Okay. I can become a vegan for a day with you," you joked.

"Great. Shall we get going?" Steven asked you.

"We shall," you smiled at him.

I got you, I got you dreamin' You close your eyes and you're screamin' Play with your mind for no reason I know you love how I tease it You know that I'm playin', so don't be mistaken You already know what I'm thinkin', boy

You smiled at Steven while he told you what he read last night about Egyptian mythology.

"You're such a nerd. You know that?" You asked him.

"Oh. Sorry."

"No. I like it. You know I like it when you tell me more about Egyptian mythology," you smiled at him.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Sometimes your mind wandered to what it would have been like to just sleep with him. Is he good in bed? Is he inexperienced? It didn't matter. You were human. It was normal to have these thoughts about the man you had been crushing on for a while.

Oh, why'd you have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you, ah Why must you make me laugh so much? It's bad enough we get along so well

You passed by the gift shop but stopped when you saw Steven. You smiled before walking over to him. His back was turned, facing you as he stocked up the stuff toys of the Egyptian goddess Taweret.

"Hey, Steven," you greeted.

Steven jumped in surprise as he turned around to look at you. You giggled at his little jump. He held a hippo in his arm as he looked over at you.

"Hi, Y/n."

"Sorry for startling you. I just saw you in here and wanted to say hi," you said.

"It's alright. No harm done here," Steven smiled.

One of these days You'll miss your train and come stay with me (It's always say goodnight and go) We'll have drinks and talk about things And any excuse to stay awake with you And you'd sleep here, and I'd sleep there But then the heating may be down again (At my convenience) We'd be good, we'd be great together

"It's getting late again," Steven said as he looked at his phone.

"Do you really need to go?" You asked him.

You had invited Steven to a movie night since you both had gotten out of work a little earlier. The two of you were getting closer making you happier and falling more in love with him.

Yet you still couldn't help but think about what it would be like to finally be with Steven. He was everything you could ever ask for. He was nice, gentle, and perfect for you.

"Yeah. Don't want to be a bother and I got to make sure I feed my goldfish," Steven said with a shy smile.

"You could always spend the night here. I wouldn't mind you know," you tell him, trying to get confident around him now.

"I'm not sure. I don't want to make you uncomfortable," Steven said.

"You're always so sweet, Steven. But you wouldn't make me uncomfortable. Unless, I make you uncomfortable," you tell him with a small frown in the end.

"What? No! You're always so nice to me and I really... appreciate that," Steven tells you. You smile softly at him before standing up.

"I'm just saying, you always welcome here," you tell him as you kissed his cheek. Steven blushed hard as he looked at you.

"Oh shoot. I miss my train."

"Oh no. Really? I'm sorry. I can call you a cab or something," you offered.

"Maybe it wouldn't hurt to stay for a night," Steven said as he scratched the back of his head a little.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"I can pour us a drink," you tell him.

"Yeah. I'd like that," Steven smiled.

"Um... Y/n?" You snapped out of your thoughts to look at Steven.

"I'm sorry. What?"

"I'll see you later?" Steven asked.

"Oh yeah. Bye, Steven," you said.

Why'd you have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you, ah Why must you make me laugh so much? It's bad enough we get along so well

Steven couldn't help but admit that he had fallen in love with you. You were so kind to him unlike others who thought he was a clumsy idiot. Every time you walked into a room, he felt like it became brighter with you. He loved it how he could make you laugh and vise versa.

"So, Y/n. Would you like to go on a walk around the park with me?" Steven asked you.

"Yeah. Sure. I'd love that," you smile.

As the two of you walk around the park, you both decided to grab some coffee before sitting down on a bench.

"Steven, is it okay if I tell you something?" You asked.

"Yeah. Of course."

"I like you. I really like you. I understand if you don't feel the same way but-"

He didn't know what came through to him. Steven quickly leaned in to kiss you to stop your sentence.

"I like you too. I'm sorry if I rushed into that. I should've asked first and-"

It was your turn to kiss him. When you pulled away, you both were blushing hard. You smiled softly at him before leaning your head on his shoulder.

"We can take it slow if you'd like," you tell him.

"I'd like that."

"Just promise me we can go on a date this weekend okay?"

"I promise," Steven smiled as he held your hand.

reqested by: @taiyakiithoughts — thank you for the cute request for this event! now i wanna dance with zoro, even though we'll most likely look stupid while doing so. ah, and have a wonderful day too, ily! <33

Nothing can match a beautiful, and peaceful Saturday afternoon where the only thing that you'll hear is the wind's breeze, and the water hitting the ship—and your lover's light snores.

“Oh Zoro, you're sleeping again! All you do is eat, sleep, and train..!” You exclaim with a pout, hands by your hips as you lightly shook the moss head by your feet, waking him up..

“Wake up, my moss haired swordsman..!” You snickered as Zoro's eyes fluttered open, falling on your face that beamed brightly, almost blinding him.

“Hnn... What is it? I was sleeping, y'know..” He grumbles, scratching the back of his head, causing you to roll your eyes at him.

“I'n pretty sure you got enough sleep to be productive, so come with me...!” You gush, taking his hand and pulling him up, dragging him in the middle of the ship.

“Yawn.. So, what d'ya wanna do? It better be something good, and productive as you said, or I'm going back to sleep.” He says with a yawn, following your figure that bounced towards the table where a music box is sitting on, clicking it open and playing a song.

“Huh? You gonna sing or something?” Zoro questions with a raise of a brow as you hurried to him, taking his hands and holding them.

“No, silly! We're gonna dance, haha!” Laughing, you then started dancing, following the lively beat of the song as Zoro stood frozen as a stone, not moving an inch.

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone

It's not unusual to have fun with anyone

“I-I'm not gonna fucking dance, I'll just look stupid!” He argues, trying to shake his hand off from your grip, well, he tried to, but you just won't let go of him.

But when I see you hanging about with anyone

It's not unusual to see me cry,

I wanna die

“Oh stop being such a wuss and just dance!” Pulling him closer to you while you scold him, your dancing continued, missing the reddened face if the swordsman.

It's not unusual to go out at any time

But when I see you out and about it's such a crime

Heavens! He's a swordsman, not a dancer. But the smile on your face and the way you move your body in sync with the music that boomed, Zoro is ready to dance, if it is what you want and will make you happier than ever.

If you should ever wanna be loved by anyone,

It's not unusual it happens every day

No matter what you say

“Zoro, come on, don't be shy, we're the only ones in here!” Urging him to dance, Zoro then lets a sigh out of his mouth, brows furrowed slightly as he started moving, grooving with the song.

“F..Fine, here. I'm dancing now, happy?” Having the reddest blush appear on his face as his hands swayed with you, you chuckled, knowing that your lover is probably dying inside, embarrassed.

You'll find it happens all the time

Love will never do what you want it to

“There we go..! Now move your hips, baby!” Controlling his moves with a big smile on your face, Zoro bit his lower lip, holding a smile back.

Why can't this crazy love be mine?

It's not unusual to be mad with anyone

It's not unusual to be sad with anyone

He looks stupid while dancing so stiffly—and Zoro knows it, yet he pays no mind. As long as you're happy, he's more than willing to make himself a fool, only for you.

But if I ever find

That you've changed at anytime

Looking at you face that is bright like the sun, Zoro wore a small smile on his face before looking down, hiding it as he lets a whisper out, “It's not unusual to find that I'm in love with you..”

Soon after the song finished, you then let a heavy sigh of joy before opening your arms wide open for your lover to dive himself into.

“Mhm, we should make this a pastime habit, Zoro.” You suggested, feeling the moss head's face heat up as he shook it ‘no’ by the crook of your neck.

“No. I am not dancing again. No more.” He grumbles as you rubbed his back, laughing him off.... “Okay, okay, I'm sorry, it won't happen again, don't worry, love you.” “..Good, and love you too.”

“...Aw, how sad. I thought we'd get to see more of you two dancing—like a worm that has salt sprinkled on it, and a bamboo that is swaying, Y/n, Zoro.” Robin suddenly commented, describing you two as she stepped up the ship along with the rest of the crew who had finally returned, laughing as Zoro falls shock, blowing a fuse and exploding red once again.. “GEH!?”

I kind of agree with you with earth not seeing how sun is REALLY doing

But I personally can't blame her tbh for this, as you said, she's the little sister and as far as we know, sun doesn't want people to worry about him but especially people younger than him. As a person with little siblings I would never show weaknesses in front of them

And I feel like sun is kinda the same. He knows that people knows that he's not well but ig he's like "I shouldn't have talked this much, now I need to make her see me as a happy person again". Plus we can all notice the unsure "yeah.." he was mumbling when earth told him that he seems happier etc..

I don't blame earth for not seeing how sun is really doing because that's what sun wants. But I do blame her for telling moon that he shouldnt be concerned etc.. even about the alcohol. I Know they can't get drunk and sun knows this as well, it's not about being drunk but about what the alcohol represents and in what situation and state of mind it is overused. She should take in consideration moon's concerned this he litteraly lives with him— I know you hang out with him a lot of earth but people are usually being their real self at home, not outside.

Choosing which mask you'll use to go outside is easy.

I'm relieved that moon is concerned about sun (and that sun is concerned about moon as well, I like the fact that they show real concern for each others now even if sun seems to show it more than moon which is understandable given on how the situation is for him.)

Also I won't blame how the therapy session itself is since kat isnt a psychologist and does her best :>

Sorry Earth but you're wrong about Sun..

He never talked to you about anything like for example Moon is doing here in this episode or Lunar..

Sun treats you like a younger sister..

Moon is right that Sun is self-destructive and it's good that at least Moon is concerned..

I'm glad..

Yes, Sun is strong and he's a good person and brother but he doesn't believe in it..

Earth cares about Sun but unfortunately she isn't a good therapist for Sun..

*huge ahh sigh*

At least she is able to help Moon and Lunar and I think Eclipse as well if he'll be interested to come back for more therapy..

I'm slightly angry at Earth for how she's blind to any signs Sun gives about his mental state..

I like Earth but it starts to get on my nerves slightly..

She almost dismissed Moon's concerns.. glad that she added later that he can be concerned.. but wtf.. why she's like that about it?!

Hope when something will happen to Sun that Earth will regret being so dismissive!

I hope that Moon will be still concerned and he won't be listening to stupid things that Earth is saying about how much he should or shouldn't be concerned about Sun..
