#hello tem my beloved

[corvidaearts]

Hello! I also got your ask in my inbox but I figured it'll be easier for all of us if I answer it here!

TLDR: i made moth wings that look like bird wings inspired loosely off my personal grian design, which combines bird and bug wing features

I got really carried away with my explanation but also this is not the extended edition. it could've been so much longer, I'm already sorry as it is LKASJDLLKSDJA but also im not the poet tem is <3

To start with, I took a lot of inspiration from a lot of different things. I've ranted about it in the Brainrot server before but essentially, one of the main things I wanted to factor in was that Watchers were more bug-like so it didn't feel right to just slap on regular bird wings to a worm so this was my attempt at combining the two designs in whatever way I can!

For moths, I specifically cited Atlas and Luna Moths for big design inspirations. The former gave me the idea for the tips of the wings to resemble primaries whereas the latter directly took in the tails of the wings, both for their aesthetic and practical reasons (from what I understand, it muffles the sound of its wingbeats, or like disorients them to an extent which I thought would be cool to factor in evolutionarily considering Seekers, but also I'm not an expert on this stuff) also, special shoutout to polyphemus and io moths and some others im sure im forgetting

Something I kept in mind was that I also wanted to make it Different from my personal grian design, (which I have my own specific commentary on) but the short of it is the my grian design has glassy/butterfly elements whereas hunger!watchers have a more moth aspect to them and its more that its basically moth wings that imitate birds instead of molding the two wing types together.

I also like to imagine the texture is like, felt. kind of like the fur on a fursuit with the fabric quality of tarp or some other thick fabric. of course, with the eye motifs added in as best as I could while still making it look somewhat(??) evolutionarily possible, idk but I tried

I wrote this all in one sitting so I might've forgotten something but this is the gist of it!!

What are the watcher wings based off? They're really cool!!

This might be a question better suited for @corvidaearts to answer as they're the one who designed them!!! :D iirc, its somewhat of a mix between bird wings and moth wings, but they'll have more detailed notes on the design features than me. Im so glad you like them though, i think theyre amazing and i love the work Crow does :]

Hello squish my beloved friend squish<3 for the spotify wrapped ask game UMMMMMM how about numbers 4 and 99 :]

Interesting number choice tem :)

#4 is "When the Night is Over" by Lord Huron (I've looped this song SO much this year <3)

#99 is "Way Out There", ALSO by Lord Huron! (bc Lord Huron was my #2 artist this year alskdhg)

ask game found here!

Happy Storyteller Saturday! So obviously with Veilguard out it's going to be difficult juggling video games and writing so I will ask about the balance between the two - is there anything in the Dragon Age world that inspires you creatively with your own worldbuilding? Or, if not Dragon Age, can you think of other creative influences on your work? Feel free to share snippets if relevant :)

hello happy Storyteller Saturday!

Oh it's going to be so hard to balance everything lmao but we shall persevere

(also this got long lmao my bad (I regret nothing))

So I have yet to meet a game with character design that doesn't result in me then. taking that character and putting them in stories lmao. We're seeing this most with Maverick at the moment (2nd BG3 playthrough, my beloved), so what I normally try to do to like. mitigate too many characters is create a character that I already have and play the game as them? And this has worked for some of the BG3 playthroughs.

Mav's is the most obvious I think bc there's the hag eye moment, then me going "we have to be mean so Astarion likes us and then I will drag him into the light", the second curse was just hilarious happenstance and then I. you know. ignore the end of the game for my own stuff :3

This has also happened with pokemon, I used Taerne when I played Kingdoms of Amalur... not so much Assassin's Creed bc that has a very definite Vibe for the assassins that doesn't feel like it gives you as much scope? I also haven't played them as much. Something about not getting to name them.

But ok yes for Dragon Age - and I only started playing them properly this year, but I've tried Origins many times before - I knew I didn't want to like. spawn more stories so what I did was go "these guys are now side characters in other stories" so they turn up in Mav's and Chant's and Tem's stories and that sort of helps

but particularly for my Hawke also, the backstory I've given her in the dnd writings is very similar to the DA2 background with the family et al. Girlie did not have a living family member (past her uncle and cousin ig) at the end of the game and she fully blamed herself for all of them :3

My hero of ferelden def meets his boyfriend in more or less the same manner as origins

so like yeah I pull the characters out and I pick 'n' choose their backstory and hilariously it is not the inquisitor I played that I slotted into Chant's stuff because he wasn't supposed to be my first run but I thought it was too funny to pass up. Have absolutely slotted my next one in there tho

Rook hasn't made an appearance yet because we're still working him out

Iiiin terms of world building. not? so much? ig bc I'm dumping them into dnd-esque stuff so I'm changing up things anyway. Have stolen their partners and renamed them and they're probably still obvious but it's not like this is for anything other than my own general enjoyment.

... n I was going to dump some of the excerpts below the cut but apparently I do not have access to the ones I actually wanted lmao

Hi friend!! It’s Bad Batch asks time!! 💙💙💙

2, 8, 24, and 32 ✨

(have a cutiepie Gregor to help get you through tomorrow 🫂)

Hello friend!! Thank you for sending asks 🩵🩵🩵

2. Who was your favorite Batcher going into the show? Who is it now?

Going into it, automatically Tech was my favorite! I have a bias towards characters with glasses that are also the "nerd" or "rules are rules" type and he fits the bill. Plus I thought his helmet was the coolest out of the Batch! Then sometime during Season 2 my brain like,, I don't even know what happened,, but I suddenly became utterly obsessed with Wrecker. So he's currently, hands down, my favorite but Tech still is very near and dear to my heart.

8. What song(s) do you associate with the Bad Batch?

ooooh BUDDY! I have a whole playlist, lmao. If I had to choose like two though, a "badass" song and an "angsty" song I think that I'd choose "Born For This" by The Score for badass-ry and "Call them Brothers" by Regina Spektor for angst.

24. Do you have any hot or controversial takes?

OOF. Um, do I? Hm...I don't think it's super hot or controversial but the Batch would've looked a LOT better if they actually looked like Tem. That's the only thing that comes to mind honestly. Like don't get me wrong, I love Tech and Crosshair but like,, I'm sorry sometimes I look at them and go "they're ugly as fuck 😭". They did them so dirty. Still love them though.

32. Which Batcher would you like to give a little kiss on the forehead?

I would like to give Omega a little kiss on the forehead. She's my daughter, I love her 🩵 Also she's the only one whose forehead I can probably reach, lmao.

AAAA GREGOR MY BELOVED 🩵😭 Thank you for the asks and thank you for Gregor 🫂 I wish you the best for the finale as well!

Here's a link to the list if anyone would like to send asks or have asks sent to them :D!

[littlepuffy4ever]

Yeah, so, you know how Tem has a diary in the anime? (Ateast I don't remember it being mentioned in the manga)

I have this random hc where he likes to take photos to put on it

Like, he's hanging out in the carnivores dorm bc Riz cooked something and he'll take a pic of the food and maybe of Riz and the other bears

Or he'll cut an article from a newspaper about the Adler's play he participated and use tape to stick it on his diary

I feel that he might glue some other things like a cinema ticket from a movie he went to see with someone and he miight ramble about the movie in that section

- Não é assim que se faz, pai! - O garotinho emburrado encarou Jamil. - É assim, olhe! - Ele começou a pintar novamente o desenho com seus dedinhos manchados de tinta misturados com diversas cores no papel com descuido.

- Tem razão, garoto. - Kalim afirmou. - Olha só o meu desenho, não tá tão ruim mesmo estando pintado fora da linha. - Esbravejou mostrando o desenho de um avião verde e laranja. Jamil suspirou exausto, não era ao menos meio dia mas este dia já estava cansativo. Reunindo toda a paciência que lhe restava tentou dialogar novamente da forma mais calma possível.

- É porque pintura é uma boa atividade para estimular as crianças a serem mais criativas. - Enfatizou a palavra 'crianças'. - Mas ainda não lembro o motivo de vo…

- Olá, Kalim! Meu amor! - Eu cheguei, esperando o momento certo para interromper este momento. Meu menininho veio correndo para me abraçar, Jamil entrou na frente antes dele chegar até mim.

- Ei! As mãozinhas… - Sinalizou para a criança estende-la enquanto pegava um pano molhado para limpar as mãos do filho. Quando finalizou ele sorriu enquanto afirmou com orgulho. - Excelente, ago…

- Obrigado, papai! - A criança abraçou ele alegremente, depois veio até mim e me segurou forte, não tendo outra chance de me separar do meu amado filho.

Atrás de vocês, Jamil observou a sua pequena, mas alegre família que construiu. Ele nunca havia pensado quando era mais jovem que teria um futuro tão bom quanto este, muito menos uma família tão maravilhosa.

- Nossa, ele nem me deu um abraço. - Kalim resmungou. A paciência de Jamil se esgotou neste momento.

- Olha seu…

"That's not how it's done, Dad!" The sulky little boy stared at Jamil. "It's like this, look!" He began to repaint the drawing with his paint-stained little fingers carelessly mixing colors on the paper.

"You are right, little boy." Kalim said. "Look at my drawing, it's not so bad even though it's painted out of line." He joked, showing a drawing of a green and orange airplane. Jamil sighed exhausted, it was not even half a day but this day was already tiring. Gathering all the patience he had left, he tried to dialogue again as calmly as possible.

"It's because painting is a good activity to stimulate children to be more creative." He emphasized the word 'children'. "But I still don't remember why yo..."

"Hello, Kalim! My love!" I arrived, waiting for the right moment to interrupt this moment. My little boy came running to hug me, Jamil got in front of him before he could reach me.

"Hey, the little hands..." He signaled to the child to hold out his hand while he took a wet cloth to clean his son's hands. When he finished he smiled while proudly affirming. "Excellent, no..."

"Thanks, Dad!" The child hugged him happily, then came over to me and held me tight, not getting another chance to separate me from my beloved son.

Behind you, Jamil observed his small but happy family that he had built. He had never thought when he was younger that he would have such a good future, let alone such a wonderful family.

"Wow, he didn't even give me a hug." Kalim grumbled. Jamil's patience ran out at this point.

"You..."

Baleful

September 4th, 2021

Divide and conquer. That was the decision they came to when Nona finished giving them the rundown of the other participants, and that was what led to Temuulen Mol wandering the streets of Ul’dah city in possession of a description and a name.

Three potential recruits to their cause, three targets. It was a fair enough division of labor, and it simply made good sense to set Temuulen to recruiting the man from the Steppe. Though they were from different tribes, the common homeland might prove to sway Khet Buduga to their cause.

Today, the Gods had bid him to aid Miss Nona. Whatever came of it would surely be what the gods desired for him.

The streets of Ul’dah were a confusing warren of circles, each seamlessly flowing into the next. The walls were too high, too thick, too impervious. Nothing like his beloved homeland, where the winds swept across the tall grass and he could see clear to the mountains in any direction. The problem, however, came when he realized he’d passed by the same shop front at least twice before. It was at that moment that the realization came to him.

“Ah. I’m lost.”

Temuulen halted his steps and took in his location, standing in place but slowly turning. This was the will of the gods, after all, and thus he had simply to open himself to them and his path would be discovered.

Several crates lined either way of the lane, dust and grime clung to the walls here. This was not one of the better kept areas of Ul’dah. The only souls in sight were a pair of men standing against the wall, a midlander and a highlander. They had noticed Temuulen and were watching him.

It was clearly the will of the gods that they met, and so, Temuulen approached, a hand raised, “Hello, good sirs! I am Temuulen, the Wild Flame of the Mol tribe, and I have lost my way!”

The pair exchanged a look, and the highlander took the lead, pushing away from the wall and stepping closer to Temuulen. Out of the shadows, he was scruffier than the Mol had thought. A wave of unease fluttered through his chest.

“Y’been by ‘ere ‘bout two’re three times,” the highlander confirmed.

Temuulen didn’t like the look in his eye, nor the way the midlander fell in behind them. It was too coordinated. Too familiar a motion between the pair. He’d left his axe at the inn, and that fact had him cursing himself for a thrice-damned fool.

The midlander sneered, “Ain’t your lucky day, Tem-yu-lan.”

“Temuulen,” he growled the correction under his breath, falling back a half-step. Perhaps in another time, another place, he’d have met them head-on, but this was the middle of the city, and he was here on a mission. “The gods guide my path, I am merely finding the next turn.”

“We’ll find it for ya,” the highlander said, a knife unsheathing from somewhere within his stained garments, “just gonna cost ya every gil ya got.”

“Hand it over, Temmy!” came the baleful, taunting howl.

“No!”

The highlander moved faster than Temuulen anticipated. The xaela’s boot caught a loose paving stone, and he threw an arm up to catch his balance. Too late, the highlander was nearly upon him, knife ready to bite into scaled flesh and then—the highlander fell back with a shocked grunt as something solid caught Temuulen from behind. Two strong, black-scaled arms wrapped around him, helping him regain his balance before letting go. Another shadowed figure had planted its boot in the highlander’s gut. The knife clattered to the ground.

Temuulen blinked, and the world came back into focus. Two more xaela had joined the frey, and his heart, still hammering in his chest from the surprise of the unexpected attack, skipped a beat. Neither man wore a shirt, their tanned skin taut over rippling muscles. Kohakama left powerful thighs bared.He’d seen that mode of dress before.

The gods had guided him true.Surely these two were—”Buduga!?”

hello again Reece snickerdoodle here! Oh I see what you mean about heteronormative bullshit thrust upon Stiles and I feel u. And though I think Stiles is exactly the kind of person who would be like 'fuck the cis-tem' I also think he'd be very masc about it for some reason. Anyway, still not fem!stiles. Check. also if u tag the secret santa asks with 'secret santa my beloved' I might fall irrevocably in love with u<3

YES i agree! you get me <3

stiles would probably be pretty ambiguous when it comes to his relationship with his own gender as well as how others perceive him, like, he just overall doesn’t really care but he is also secure in who he is (which could also just be me projecting but….shhhhhhh). i agree wholeheartedly that he would be anti-roles but in a way that isn’t inherently feminine! you seem to be very in line with my own views regarding his character, so this is about to be easy peasy lemon squeezy for you!!! i felt bad about the last answer because i do not want to seem all grrrrrr when really i have experienced maybe two thoughts in my entire life, and that is being generous. i am stoked that we are on the same page and i cannot wait to see what you come up with!!!!

It's Not Flattery If It's True

He was cozy and warm and a gentle hand was stroking lazily through his hair. He blinked hazily. The world around him was fuzzy and unfocused.

But he heard that deep chuckle from above him, saw the bleary edges of that oh-so-recognizable silhouette. His lips quirked up sleepily.

"Hey, 'Tem," he slurred and leaned into the gentle fingertips massing into his scalp.

"Why, hello yourself," came the sonorous reply. Atem really did have a nice voice, Joey decided staunchly, again, as he would many times more. "You know, it's not everyday that I come home to such a handsome man sleeping on my couch." Smooth, suave, flirtatious but genuine.

The heat in his cheeks was undeniable, but Joey tried to anyways -- he buried his face into the pillow he was resting on and grumbled heartily. The cushions sagged -- Atem sat right on the edge, his thigh against Joey's stomach. His warm, gentle hand kneaded the back of Joey's neck and then petted down his back in long, soothing, wonderful strokes. Joey couldn't help his sigh of content -- Atem liked to touch, and Joey was a tactile person, too (though he, admittedly, wasn't as used to affectionate touches as he'd like to be).

"I sure hope it's my beloved boyfriend on the couch, and not some beautiful stranger I'm touching so much," Atem continued, leaning down to chastely kiss Joey's clothed shoulder. "I don't really know, since he's hiding his marvelous face from my view."

"Atem," Joey groaned. He rolls onto his back and half-heartedly glared up at those twinkling jewel-like eyes.

"Ah, good, beloved boyfriend it is," Atem chuckled, and the pads of his bronzed fingers pressed at Joey's chin, and he was leaning closer and closer until their lips touched gently, chastely.

Even Atem's lips were gentle, Joey thought sleepily.

"How was your day, Joey?" Atem asked, shifting to nuzzle his face into Joey's neck and lay his body gently against Joey's chest.

"Mm, work was long. Borin'. But tirin'. Nap was good, though. Yours?"

A delighted sigh that gusted against Joey's throat. "It's wonderful, now."

Atem loved cuddling -- it probably had something to do with being in thousands of years of isolation, Joey surmised. Joey wrapped an arm around Atem and set a hand at his waist, where he sleepily stroked with his fingertips. Atem all but purred.

"Was it not 'wonderful' before?" Joey asked, eyes falling closed again as Atem's cozy warmth seeped through him like sunshine.

A grunt. "Well, you know how Kaiba is."

"Complete hardass," Joey murmured back, lip quirking again.

"Mm," came the responding hum.

"I feel like it's still naptime," Joey slurred as he felt himself drifting off.

"Mmhm…"

[Y/N] glared up at the gates of Sunagakure and shook her head as she adjusted her hood, trying to deflect the glare of the sun. It had been an entire year since she had had this much sand trapped in her shoes and the sensation was far from pleasant.

She steps through the large wooden door and begins her walk towards the office of the Kazekage. The village had barely changed since the last time she had walked it’s narrow streets, but she had.

Rounding the corner into the marketplace she ganders amongst the wares, pausing at her old favorite booth.

“[Y/N]? Yours is a face I never expected to see gazing over my jewelry again.” A cheerful voice calls out as she looks up into the face of the cheerful old woman who often provided [Y/N] with beautiful gemstones. They were common in the desert, and the old woman just always seemed to find the very best ones.

“I’m on a mission, I’ve been spent to speak with the Kazekage.” [Y/N] explains and watches as the woman’s smile falters slightly.

“Ah, I had hoped…-” She trails off, a soft glance down at the young girls left hand, “-Ah! None the matter, only the ramblings of an old woman!”

[Y/N] gives a soft smile before picking up a small carved Jade flower and looks at the delicate little trinket in her palm.

“How much?” She looks up into the old woman’s eyes, who chuckles softly.

“For you? Nothing.” The old woman closes [Y/N]’s hand around the green stone, and [Y/N] gasps softly.

“But-” She goes to protest but the woman cuts her off.

“I’ve missed the happiness you brought to this village, and the smiles you gave to people.” She explains slowly, “He hasn’t been the same, you know.”

The last sentence hits [Y/N]’s soul, causing her to close her eyes for a moment to keep her composer.

“I must be going. Thank you for my gift.” She hurries away from the booth, dropping the flower into the pocket on her flak jacket, as she speeds down the main road to the offices.

He hasn’t been the same, you know.

The words echoed in her mind as she steps into the cool building. She removes her head covering as she pulls her [Y/H/C] braid out from being tucked in the hood. She glances in the mirror as the electric lights cause a shimmer to glow across the symbol of her beloved hidden leaf village.

She steps down the hallway towards the door of the Kazekage’s office, her footsteps echoing along the empty corridor.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly raises her fist to deliver three quick knocks to the door.

“Enter!” Gaara’s usual sullen voice calls out from behind the door, and [Y/N] opens it.

“[Y/N]!” Gaara exclaims as she walks inside and shuts the door behind her, “When the Hokage said she was sending someone, I never expected, it’s a relief to see you.” The words rushed out of Gaara’s mouth as he was quick to give the familiar girl a hug.

After all, she had been engaged to his brother only a year ago.

“It’s a relief to see you as well Gaara, I’m sorry I didn’t write.” She stands up and faces the red haired boy who had almost become her brother and let out a deep sigh.

“I-I don’t blame you at all, after what….happened.” His voice falters and she nods, sitting down in the chair in front of his desk.

“Shall we discuss the Hokages message then?” Her voice is curt as she desperately tries to change the subject. Gaara sits across from her as they begin to discuss the current state of affairs of their respective villages.

A short time later a door hidden in the wall of Gaara’s office swings open and Temari stepped into the office, a folder of papers in her hand.

“Gaara, will you be home for dinner tonight? Kankuro is bringing that new girlfr-” Her sentence is cut short as she stares at [Y/N] in a mixture of joy and shock.

[Y/N] gives a soft laugh, “You know Temari, it’s amazing how someone can still look so cute with their face looking like that.” She teases her long time friend as they pull each other into a hug. Unlike Gaara’s hug, Temari’s wasn’t awkward, she really needed it just as much as [Y/N] did.

“You are the sunshine I needed to see today!” Temari says as they pull away from each other and [Y/N] sits back in her chair.

“I probably won’t make it to dinner tonight, [Y/N] and I have a lot of work to do.” Gaara says gesturing to the papers that now littered his usually neat desk.

“Are you going to be staying in your old apartment? I think it’s still the same as when you left.” Temari asks and [Y/N] shrugs.

“Probably, I’m expecting a fellow shinobi to be arriving any minute now and that place has two bedrooms.” [Y/N] explains as she begins to stack up her papers.

“Anyone we know?” Temari asks as she joins them at Gaara’s desk.

“Oh, just Sasuke,- ” [Y/N] says as she pulls out a pen from her pocket and starts to underline things on the paper in front of her, “-We’ve been partnered on a few missions lately, we’re leaving for another mission as soon as I’m done here.”

Gaara lets out a cough, as he and Temari exchange a look.

“Maybe dinner wouldn’t be half bad,-” Gaara says as he stands up, “-please join us [Y/N] it will be nice having you in the house again.’

“Oh, I don’t think that would be a good ide-” [Y/N] begins to protest but Temari shakes her head.

“If Kankuro says a damn thing to you, I’ll kick his ass myself.” She nods in her friends direction, who takes a deep breath.

“Fine, just let me go shower first.” [Y/N] groans inwardly and stands up, pulling her hood back over her face.

“And don’t worry Tem, if Kankuro says anything to me, I might just kill him myself.” She smirks and steps out into the hallway.

———————————————————-—-—––

The hot water of her shower brought ease to [Y/N]’s tensed shoulders as she tried to calm herself down.

He hasn’t been the same, you know.

[Y/N] punches the wall of the shower, she didn’t want to think about him. As her hand began to throb she felt a tight pain in her lower abdomen and her hand finds its way to the series of scars that littered her stomach.

They hardly ever hurt anymore.

Although there wasn’t a day that went by where she didn’t think of where they had come from and the repercussions they had had. She brushes her teeth in the shower, a quirk she had picked up while living here.

Quick showers and brushing your teeth at the same time to conserve water.

“Showering together is the best way to conserve water.” Kankuro had used to tease her when they first met. Sometimes she missed his sense of humor.

After drying off, she wraps herself in her black silken robe and sits in front of her vanity. Seeing her [light/tan/dark] skin in the glow of nothing but the vanity lights gave a very eerie effect to her already sullen face. The year had taken its toll on her, not holding back at all.

She begins to brush out her hair, deciding to wear it up in a tight bun instead of her usual braid. It takes a few tries before she’s happy with the result, she moves onto her makeup. When she’s satisfied with her presentation she walks over to her closet full of clothes she hadn’t seen in a year.

She had never cleaned her apartment in Sunagakure, after all she was the elected diplomat between the two villages under Lady Tsunade. [Y/N] was grateful that the fifth hokage hadn’t pulled her out of the position after last year's attack on the village hidden in the sand.

The year off had been filled with recovery, both physically and mentally, back home in the leaf village where [Y/N] had been born.

[Y/N] changes into a dark green dress that was hugged her curves gently, and a pair of black thigh high leather boots. They had been a gift from Temari for her twenty-first birthday.

She walks through the kitchen, making sure she has everything she needs for the night when she hears a heavy knock on the front door. She has a grip on the kunai hidden in her belt as she turns the doorknob.

“Oh, Sasuke!” She lets out a sigh of relief as her comrade smiles at her as his gaze wanders up and down her body.

“You look incredible [Y/N], what’s the occasion?” He asks as he steps inside, tossing his bag onto the table in the kitchen.

“A dinner party with lord kazekage and his siblings, you’re welcome to join.’ She says as he looks up at her.

“You aren’t nervous about seeing Kankuro?” He questions and she sighs, her gaze falling to a photograph that was framed on a shelf.

“You two looked very happy.” Sasuke observes as the photo of [Y/N] and Kankuro the day they had gotten engaged.

She takes the photo and tips it down so that she doesn’t have to look.

“It’s the past Sasuke, and besides, he has a new girlfriend according to Temari.” [Y/N] remarks as she grabs her keys and heads to the door again.

The two friends step out into the street as the sun started to dip down on the horizon, a cool breeze brushes through the usually scorching desert.

“You ready for this?” Sasuke asks as they stand in front of Gaara’s front door.

[Y/N] shrugs, “We’ll see.”

Sasuke knocks on the door and it opens soon to reveal Temari who smiles at the two of them.

“Come in! It’s good to see you again Sasuke.” She says as they walk through the front hall and into the dining room.

[Y/N] and Kankuro make eye contact from across the table as an awkward feeling began to take over the room.

“Hello.” She says simply as Sasuke pulls out a chair for her. She thanks him and sits down. A clatter from across the table causes her to look up to see Kankuro had knocked over his glass which had made contact with his plate.

“Sasuke, [Y/N], it’s good to see you.” Kankuro says as he sits up in his chair. The girl to his right, clears her throat and she makes eye contact with [Y/N].

“[Y/N]? Your ex-fiance [Y/N]?” She asks her lips pressing into a thin line and [Y/N] looks down at her plate, her jaw clenched.

“And a dear family friend.” Gaara says coldly and [Y/N] smirks slightly as she turns and starts to talk with Sasuke and Temari.

Dinner goes smoothly, [Y/N] catches Kankuro staring at her from time to time but she tries her best to appear unbothered. As the meal draws to a close, she steals away to the kitchen with Gaara who offers her a drink.

“She is revolting.” He mumbled against his glass as he takes a sip and she chuckles against hers.

“Kank seems happy.” She comments and Gaara shakes his head.

“You haven’t seen him as much as I have [Y/N], he’s changed so much since the attack.” Gaara goes on and [Y/N] sighs, glancing out the window.

“I saw the way you were looking at her Kankuro!” The shrill voice cuts through the conversation [Y/N] is having with Gaara. They both exchange a look and head back out to the dining room where Kankuro stands on one side of the room and his girlfriend on the other.

Kankuro looked on the verge of tears and his girlfriend was using that to her advantage.

“You’re not over her, and you expect to just be okay with her being around here? We’re leaving!” She goes to storm past him and he doesn’t move.

“I’m not leaving.” He says bluntly and [Y/N] gasps softly as the scene unfolds.

“Excuse me?” The girl glares at him and turns back to face him,

“I said I am not leaving.” His voice is firm and he looks directly at her.

She raises her hand as if to strike him and [Y/N] bursts forward and grabs her wrist, stopping her slap midair.

“I suggest you leave now.” [Y/N] hissed through gritted teeth as she shoved the girl forward and towards the door.

The other girl laughs and glares directly into [Y/N]’s eyes, “You may be a better shinobi than I am, but at least I would be able to protect my child.” She pulls her hand away from [Y/N]’s grasp before storming out into the night.

She turns around to finally face Kankuro with an entire years worth of baggage in her gaze.

“I’m sorry.” The two words fall heavy from her lips, “ I don’t think she likes me very much.”

She was sorry.

Sorry for running away.

Sorry for breaking off the engagement.

Sorry for trying to pretend she was okay.

Sorry for not being able to protect-

“I will never blame you for what happened that day [Y/N].” Kankuro’s voice is barely above a whisper as he steps towards her.

[Y/N] pushes past him and walks towards the backdoor. She hoped some fresh air would do her mind well as she steps into the cool dark desert night. She pulls a cigarette and lighter out of her purse slowly and lights one.

She had picked up a few bad habits over the year.

Kankuro follows her moments later, he steps onto the porch and stands by the door awkwardly.

“So, who was she?” [Y/N] nods her head back towards the door as he steps closer to her. His purple face paint looked ghastly against his sullen skin.

“A girl from the village, nothing really special.” He comments and sits with her on the steps.

“Special enough to bring around your siblings.” She replies and he reaches for a smoke.

“Just enough to patch the void that you left.” He mutters as he lights his cigarette.

“Ouch.” She chuckles as she takes along drag.

“So, you and Sasuke huh?” He questions and [Y/N] raises an eyebrow.

“Why? You jealous?” She teases him softly before giving a soft cough as she inhales again.

“Jealousy? You know that word isn’t in my vocabulary poppet.” He chuckles as he stares out into the night, the cigarette slowly burning away in his grasp.

“No, we aren’t a thing. He’s just my escort for the next mission.” [Y/N] extinguishes her cigarette before putting the butt back into the pack.

“I do wish you had stayed. You’re not the only one who lost something that day.” She hears the falter in his voice and the tears jump to her eyes.

“I don’t want to talk about it Kank.” She says and goes to stand up but he grabs her hand.

“[Y/N], our baby was real. You can’t just try and pretend that it never happened, that isn’t healthy!” He exclaims and she feels the tears stream down her face.

“I may not understand exactly how you feel but I watched the love of my life almost die, I lost my first born before I even was able to meet them.” His voice cracks as he grips onto her hand.

“I killed him you know, the rogue ninja that stabbed you” His voice changes as he says this, an icy chill creeps over [Y/N]’s spine.

“I had heard rumors.” She admits and he nods as she sits back with him.

“[Y/N], do you think our baby knew how much we loved them?” He asks suddenly and she feels her stomach lurch and she closes her eyes.

“They knew. The entire village loved that baby.” She smiles as she thinks back, they had just announced the pregnancy the week prior. Their engagement had been the most exciting news for the village hidden in the sand, followed by a practically royal baby? Both villages had mourned along with the young couple

“I still love you Kankuro.” She whispers as she looks at him and he smiles.

“I never stopped loving you,-” He replies before kissing her cheek gently, “-The ring is still in my workshop, and I hope someday it will be back on your finger poppet.”
