Billy Hargrove x Fem!OC

Summary: After a day of sledding with a group of her former classmates, JJ is freezing and prepares to walk home when Billy offers her a ride. She invites him in for a warm drink to repay his favor, and things quickly heat up when he lights a fire and shares his best tips on keeping the frost bite at bay. Bask in the glow of this incendiary encounter in the next 1.8k words🔥 CW: SMUT, oral (f receiving), overstimulation, Billy is a little demanding A huge thank you to my beta reader and editor @lifesshort-imshorter for helping me bring this piece to life!!!

DAY THREE OF HOHOHOE WEEK Prompt: Fireplace Read the rest of this mini series here: Part 1 | Part 2

JJ stood at the top of the snow covered hill with the rest of her classmates. Quite a few of them showed up to the Hawkins sledding reunion party Nancy had organized for those of them that were home for the holidays. Everyone was complaining about how cold it was and how they didn’t want to be chilled to the bone by falling in the snow. She couldn’t believe these people had agreed to make an appearance solely for a party to play in a winter wonderland and then refused to participate.

“Seriously, you guys?” She shook her head in disappointment. “Move. I’m going down.” The small crowd parted, and JJ steadied her sled at the top of the hill, making sure it would travel straight from where it started. Everyone’s eyes were on her, including Billy’s, whose burned brightly as he watched her daredevil antics.

“Need a push?” He stepped forward and offered to help JJ start her downhill journey. She smiled over her shoulder at him and replied with one simple word.

“Nope.” With that, she took a running step forward and jumped into the sled, the momentum propelling her forward and down the hill. Inspired by JJ’s bravery, the rest of the group followed suit, everyone finally conceding to having the good time they all gathered for in the first place.

The rest of the afternoon was spent laughing, catapulting snowballs, and wiping out in the icy powder. Everyone agreed they couldn’t remember the last time they had so much fun. Billy was just glad to be there with JJ, soaking in the warmth that emanated from her on that freezing winter day.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was setting, and JJ was completely soaked through her clothes. Teeth chattering, cheeks aching from smiling and the bite of the bitter wind, she began saying goodbye to her classmates.

“I need to get going so I’m not walking in the dark. I’ll see you guys at Tina’s in a couple days!” She waved, a chorus of farewells arising from the group as she gathered her sled.

“Walking?” Billy’s voice boomed above the rest.

“Yeah,” JJ answered. “It’s not far.”

“No way. You’re freezing. Come on, let me give you a ride. It’s on my way.” Billy stepped toward her while all of the bystanders quieted, waiting for her to bite back sarcastically. To their surprise, she accepted graciously.

“Actually, that would be nice.” JJ’s whole body shook from the cold as she spoke. Following Billy to where his car was parked, she was thrilled to see he was still driving that cobalt blue Camaro she had always made fun of him for but secretly loved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

“Thanks again for the ride.” JJ was still shivering as Billy pulled into the Ferons’ driveway.

“Any time,” he drawled, his signature smirk sliding into place. JJ had the house to herself for the night. Her parents were being entertained at another stuffy cocktail hour for some other overly posh law firm, and while she originally planned to get some relaxation time in, she now had a better idea.

“You want to come in? I’ll make you a hot drink for your troubles.”

“Thought you’d never ask,” Billy replied, his smirk blooming into a smile. He followed JJ inside, and he couldn’t help but notice she was still shaking from the cold permeating through her wet clothes.

“I’ll put the kettle on. You make yourself comfortable,” she instructed, leaving Billy alone in the living room. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

“What’s all this?” JJ’s grin shone brightly against the dim glow of a fire crackling in the fireplace. She handed Billy one of the mugs she was carrying back from the kitchen, taking note of the pile of blankets on the floor in front of the dancing flames.

“You’re freezing. We need to get you warmed up, and I thought a fire might help. Here,” Billy said, taking JJ’s hand and leading her over to the bundle of warmth he had prepared. They sat down on the plush area rug together, and Billy draped two of the blankets over JJ’s shoulders, wrapping his arms around her, moving them up and down slowly to create friction.

“What a gentleman,” JJ crooned in jest, giggling at Billy’s display.

“Frostbite is no joke, Jacqueline,” he quipped back, his smile still bright in the low light.

“I suppose that’s true,” she agreed. They shared a comfortable silence looking far off into the fire, the crackling and popping sounds keeping them company.

“You know,” Billy started. “Body heat is really the most effective way to warm up.” JJ met his gaze, and his ocean eyes were dark with a devilish haze. She knew exactly what he was playing at, and she loved this game.

“Oh, well, in that case.” JJ stood up, letting the blankets fall from her shoulders, and pulled her sweater over her head, discarding it onto the floor. Billy’s eyes followed her every move as she peeled off more layers – t-shirt, undershirt, pants, socks – until she was down to just her underwear, her blue lace bra almost matching the color of his stare.

Billy followed suit, shedding his sweater, shirt, and pants, still watching her all the time. JJ felt the heat of a blush creep up to her cheeks just looking at him. He was like a God. The outline of every dip and valley of Billy’s body was contoured by the flickering of the fire. His golden skin looked butter-soft, and all JJ wanted to do was touch him, but she forced herself to be patient.

They returned to their seats on the rug, and Billy leaned closer to her, cupping the side of her face in his hand with a hungry look in his eyes. JJ’s lips parted as Billy ghosted his thumb over them, and there was no more talking. He kissed her slowly, with passion and sincerity, and she was already losing herself.

Billy tasted sweet like honey and warm sugar, and soon JJ was melting into him while their kisses turned fiery, all teeth, tongue, and desperation. Billy pressed wet, needy kisses to her jaw, her neck, her collar bone, leaving playful bites in his wake. JJ’s breathing grew heavy, and all she wanted was more, more, more.

Just when she thought she couldn’t take it any longer, Billy leaned into her until her back was pressed into the thick, plush rug in front of the fire. He lowered himself to her face one last time, locking her lips into his and running his tongue along the bottom one, then the top. He was teasing her, and she was eating it up.

Billy placed nips and kisses again down her neck, to her collar bone, to her chest, and he didn’t stop until he got to the top of her panties, taking the waistband in his teeth and letting it snap back against her skin. He glanced up at her from between her thighs, eyes full of sin, and JJ’s heart hammered double time.

“Are you warming up yet?” Billy asked seductively before pressing his warm, wet tongue flat against her clothed slit, just enough so that she could feel the rush of his hot breath.

“Whatever you do,” JJ warned, running her fingers through Billy’s sandy curls, “just don’t stop.” A dangerous grin formed on Billy’s face just before he hooked his fingers into the waistband of her panties and slid them down her legs, tossing them to the side. Big, strong hands pushed her thighs apart, making room for Billy to nestle down in between them. His breath ghosted across her bare skin, creating goosebumps over her entire body as he licked a long stripe through her folds.

JJ’s breath hitched at the contact, and she pulled lightly on Billy’s curls, eliciting a growl from deep within his chest. His tongue was like warm velvet sliding up and down and in delicious circles around her clit, and her vision grew hazy in the glow of the flames. She didn’t have room in her mind to care that her moans sounded pathetic and desperate as she tightened her grip in Billy’s hair and moved her hips languidly against his expert mouth.

“Fuck, that’s so good.” Billy’s eyes snapped up to meet hers as she glanced down at his mesmerizing movements, the work of his mouth and his dark stare setting her core ablaze. She let out a gasp when she felt him push two fingers inside of her, curling them up to meet her sweet spot. He fucked her slowly, the constant contact of his tongue pushing her closer and closer to the breaking point.

“Billy, please,” she breathed, her eyes brimming with tears at the stimulation.

“Beg me,” he purred, the low vibrations of his voice against her aching pussy sending shockwaves crashing over her.

“Please, I want to cum for you so bad. Mmmm – please, Billy.” With those magic words, he picked up the pace, thrusting his fingers into her harder and faster and sucking fiendishly on her clit until her moans turned into blissful sobs. Every move Billy made stoked the embers in her core until it was white hot and smoldering, and then there was an explosion.

JJ’s eyes screwed shut, tears spilling down her cheeks as she lost control, her whole body shuddering as her walls clenched around Billy’s fingers. She writhed against his tongue, a string of colorful expletives flooding from her lips as she rode out her climax. Slowly seeping back into the fabric of reality, JJ steadied her breathing as Billy removed his fingers and set an iron grasp on her thighs, pushing them farther apart while his blunt nails dug into her flesh as he held her there.

He continued to lavish slow, lazy circles on her clit, the overstimulation sending jolts up her spine as more tears slipped down her cheeks. JJ couldn’t take it anymore and tried her best to push him away, but he was too strong.

“Beg me,” Billy commanded once more. He wasn’t going to stop until she was a pathetic, weeping mess.

“Billy, please,” she cried. “I can’t take it anymore, please.” He gave one last long lick along her clit and looked up at her, his cerulean eyes shining like the surface of the ocean under the sun. He steadied himself on his knees and stretched his back, the glow of the fire rippling over his defined muscles before he laid down next to her.

“You taste divine,” he whispered. He leaned in and kissed her fiercely, and she could taste the sweet and sour remnants of herself on his tongue.

Once she was finally able to string a coherent thought together, JJ knew she was in trouble. Everything about Billy consumed her entirely, and though she knew she’d never be the same, in that moment, all she wanted was to be completely immersed in him. He was going to ruin her, and she was content to let it happen.

Steamed Hams but it's Diesel and my OC Wesley

So @theflyingkipper and I have discussed peeps Diesel humanization and his Diesel interp in general and thinking about Diesel and Wesley interacting got me with… this in my mind. So without further ado, under the cut is Steamed Hams but it’s a Cartoon Villain Evil Type of Motherfucker Who Cooks Horrible 60s Housewife Meals and Enjoys Them Who Could Honestly Use Some Attention And Approval Despite Being A Total Bastard and A Very Confused Old Dude Who Gave The First Guy A Chance Despite Warnings And Things Have Gone… Weirdly Okay? (quick shoutout to my pal Sammy, whom of which doesn’t have a tumblr but she DID suggest the diesel equivalent of “cinders and ashes” to me, “grease and oil.”)

Pro tip: Follow along with your favorite copy of the original Steamed Hams so you can imagine what’s going on properly! Here's mine!

And finally, credit where credit is due, the Simpsons Wiki is where I got the transcript I edited from.

[Scene opens with Wesley ringing Diesel’s doorbell. When we get to the next shot, Diesel is wearing his DEVIOUS apron for EVIL cooking over his typical clothing.]

Wesley: Well, Diesel, I made it, despite your… directions.

Diesel (less saccharine-suck-up cheery and more… Devious. and OILY, in comparison to Skinner. still wants to impress though, seemingly, and still seems to be in a good mood): Ah, Wesley, welcome. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!

Wesley (he seems genuinely pleased to be here, if a bit nervous because he’s not the most fond of Diesel’s cooking, unlike Chalmers in the original, who seems so done with this already): Yeah.

[Diesel runs to the kitchen, only to find his baked stuffed salmon is burnt and gasps in horror. As he speaks, there’s some noticeable knocks in the background.]

Diesel: Grease and oil! My baked salmon is ruined! But what if I were to purchase some food from the chippy and disguise it as my own cooking? [chuckles] Delightfully devious, Diesel.

[He begins to climb through the window after taking off the DEVIOUS apron and setting it aside, but Wesley enters the kitchen, looking confused. The theme song to an imaginary show then plays:

Diesel with his crazy explanations

Wesley here is gonna need his medication!

When he hears Diesel’s lame exaggerations

There'll be trouble in town tonight!]

Wesley (concerned): Diesel?

Diesel: Wesley! I was just...uh---just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise! Care to join me?

Wesley: ...Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Diesel?

Diesel: Uh... ooh! That isn't smoke, it's… [visibly wincing at the thought of it] steam! Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmmm, steamed clams!

[Once Wesley leaves the kitchen (after having performed mental gymnastics, probably), Diesel breathes a sigh of relief, climbs out the window, and runs across the street to some fish-and-chips place, where he buys, you guessed it, fish and chips to replace his ruined baked stuffed salmon. He enters the dining room with the food on a silver tray.]

Diesel: Wesley, I hope you're ready for some mouthwatering fish and chips!

Wesley: I thought we were having steamed clams?

Diesel: Oh no, I said 'steamed sams'. That's what I call fish and chips!

Wesley: You call fish and chips 'steamed sams'?

Diesel: Yes! It's a regional dialect.

Wesley: Oh, I see. What region?

Diesel: Uh… Cheshire.

Wesley: Really? I’ve been to Crewe plenty of times and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed sams'.

Diesel: Oh, not in Crewe, no. It's a Chester expression.

Wesley: I see.

[Wesley takes a bite out of some fish and chews it a little, while Diesel sips his drink.]

Wesley: You know, this fish is quite similar to the stuff they have at the chippy.

Diesel: Hohoho, no! Patented Diesel Fish and Chips. Old family recipe!

Wesley: For steamed sams?

Diesel: Yes.

Wesley: Yes, and you call them steamed sams, despite the fact they are obviously fried, and that they’re also obviously… cod, I think, not salmon? Did you have to substitute something?

Diesel: Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... excuse me for one second.

Wesley: Of course.

[Diesel enters and leaves the kitchen swiftly upon seeing it is now on fire.]

Diesel: [yawns] Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped.

Wesley: Yes, I should be--good lord, what is happening in there?!

[Beat.]

Diesel: Aurora Borealis?

Wesley (again, more confused than angered): Ah- Aurora Borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, on this part of the island, localized entirely within your kitchen?!

Diesel: Yes.

Wesley: ...May I see it?

Diesel: ...No.

[They exit the house as the kitchen fire grows larger. The shot is panned so we can see Duck just sort of watching shit go down.]

Duck: Diesel, your house is on fire.

Diesel: No, Duck, it's just the Northern Lights.

Wesley: Well, Diesel, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good sam!

[As Wesley begins heading home, he looks back for a moment toward the house. Diesel gives him a thumbs up and a fake smile, causing him to keep walking away. Duck is still just watching all of this. Once Wesley is out of sight, Diesel rushes back into the house to deal with the fire.]

NFL Las Vegas Raiders Football Santa Claus Hohoho Christmas Pattern Sweatshirt

Chinese New Year can be the toughest time of a NFL Las Vegas Raiders Football Santa Claus Hohoho Christmas Pattern Sweatshirt for dropshippers if you don’t take steps to prepare. The holiday is a weeks long celebration where much of the Chinese economy virtually shuts down in celebration. Businesses close for weeks as their entire staff goes off to travel and celebrate the holiday. If you’re a dropshipper that relies on Chinese suppliers you could be in trouble if you haven’t taken the time to get ready for the disruption. Thankfully there are tangible steps you can take to prevent the Chinese New Year from slowing down your orders and angering customers. Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, or the Lunar New Year, happens each year sometime between January 21 and February 20. Chinese New Year is based on a lunar calendar, which is why the dates shift relative to the standard solar calendar. This year the holiday falls on Tuesday, February 5. To give you a sense of the variability here’s when the holiday falls the next five years.

[wasteland-squog-baby]

Chalmers: Well, Seymour, I made it, despite your directions.

Skinner: Ah, Superintendent Chalmers, welcome! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!

Chalmers: Eh...

[Chalmers enters. In the dining room, he sits at the table and places a bottle in an ice bucket, while Skinner runs to the kitchen, only to find his roast is burnt, and gasps in horror.]

Skinner: Oh, egads! My roast is ruined! [Chalmers' knocking on the kitchen door can be heard as Skinner looks at Krusty Burger across the street from his window] But what if... I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? [chuckles] Delightfully devilish, Seymour.

[Skinner begins to climb through the window, but Chalmers enters the kitchen and catches Skinner trying to leave.]

Chalmers: Uh--!

[Accompanied by a montage of scenes of Skinner and Chalmers from previous episodes, the theme song to an imaginary sitcom titled "Skinner and the Superintendent" then plays:]

Skinner, with his crazy explanations

The superintendent's gonna need his medication

When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations

There'll be trouble in town tonight!

Chalmers: SEEEEEYMOOUUURRR!!!

[The scene goes back to Skinner's kitchen]

Skinner: Superintendent! I was just...uh...just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise! Care to join me?

[Smoke can be seen coming out of Skinner's oven]

Chalmers: Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? [points to the oven]

Skinner: Uh... ooh! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed clams we're having. [Massages his belly] Mmmm, steamed clams!

[Once a suspicious Chalmers leaves the kitchen, Skinner breathes a sigh of relief, climbs out the window, and runs across the street to Krusty Burger, where he buys hamburgers and French fries to replace his burnt roast. The scene cuts to the dining room, where Skinner comes from the kitchen with the fast food on a silver tray.]

Skinner: Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers!

Chalmers: I thought we were having "steamed clams".

Skinner: Oh no, I said 'steamed hams'! That's what I call hamburgers.

Chalmers: You call hamburgers 'steamed hams'?

Skinner: Yes! It's a regional dialect.

Chalmers: Uh-huh. Eh, what region?

Skinner: Uh... upstate New York?

Chalmers: Really? Well, I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed hams'.

Skinner: Oh, not in Utica, no. It's an Albany expression.

Chalmers: I see.

[Chalmers takes a bite out of a burger and chews it a little, while Skinner sips his drink.]

Chalmers: You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger.

Skinner: Hohoho, no! Patented Skinner Burgers! Old family recipe.

Chalmers: For steamed hams?

Skinner: Yes.

Chalmers: Yes. So you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled. [opens one of the burgers and exposes the patty's grilled pattern to Skinner]

Skinner: Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... excuse me for one second.

Chalmers: Of course.

[Skinner enters and leaves the kitchen swiftly upon seeing it is now on fire]

Skinner: [pretends to yawn] Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped.

Chalmers: Yes, I should be-- [notices the intense light coming from the burning kitchen] GOOD LORD, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE!?

Skinner: Aurora Borealis?

Chalmers: Uh... Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?

Skinner: Yes.

Chalmers: ...May I see it?

Skinner: ...No.

[They exit the house as the kitchen fire grows larger.]

Agnes (voice): SEYMOUR!!! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!!

Skinner (looking up): No, mother, it's just the Northern Lights.

Chalmers: Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good ham.

[As Chalmers begins heading home, Agnes starts screaming for help, causing Chalmers to look back towards the house. Skinner gives him a thumbs up and a fake smile, causing him to keep walking away. Once Chalmers is out of sight, Skinner rushes back into the house to deal with the fire.]

Agnes (voice): HEEEELP!!! HEEEELP!!!

.... well shit that's impressive.

[yellllowstar]

"Well, Seymour, I made it, despite your directions."

"Ah, Superintendent Chalmers, welcome. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!"

He seems unimpressed. "Yeah."

I go into the kitchen.

There's smoke coming out of the oven.

Shit. I open it.

The roast is on fire.

Oh you are SCREWED.

Shit shit shit shit shit. "Oh egads! My roast is ruined!" I say.

I... Can I look out the window?

There is a Krusty Burger across the street outside of your window.

"But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? heh heh. Delightfully devilish, Seymour." I climb through the window.

As you start to climb through the window- you only get like one leg out before Chalmers enters the kitchen.

Shit.

Oohh~! 🎶 Skinner with his crazy explanations, the superintendent's gonna need his medication, when he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations, there'll be trouble in town tonight~! 🎶

Chalmers calls out: "SEEEEEYMOOUUURRR!!!"

Ok, fuck uhhh. I just say like. "Superintendent! I was just... uh---just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise! Care to join me?"

HAHAHAHA

...Roll for deception.

Uhhh... 14.

...Right he doesn't question it, but instead asks "Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour?"

"Uh... ooh! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmmm, steamed clams!"

There's zero way this works.

...Ok you're going to need to roll for deception again.

16.

...Whatever. He leaves the room.

How is this working?

Ok thank god. I go out the window and buy some Krusty Burgers and fries. Once that's done, I come back in-

You come back in through the window?

Yeah, through the window. I come back in and find like a nice tray or something to arrange them on so they look nice.

Sure. You find a silver tray to put them on all nice and neat. I'm assuming you then go back into the dining room with the tray?

Yes. And I say "Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers."

...You do remember that you told him you were making steamed clams right?

Shit.

"I thought we were having steamed clams," he says.

How do you keep fucking this up so badly?

Shut up. Uhh. "Oh no, I said 'steamed hams'. That's what I call hamburgers."

HAHAHA

"You call hamburgers 'steamed hams'?"

"Yes! It's a regional dialect."

"Uh-huh. Eh, what region?"

"Uh...upstate New York."

"Really? Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed hams'."

"Oh, not in Utica, no. It's an Albany expression."

Ok I'm going to need you to roll a fat deception check.

16 again.

He just responds with "I see."

You can NOT keep getting away with this shit.

Ok he takes a bite of burger.

I sip my drink.

"You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger."

"Hohoho, no! Patented Skinner Burgers. Old family recipe!"

"For steamed hams?"

"Yes."

"Yes, and you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled." He takes the top bun off the burger to reveal obvious grill lines.

HA. He's got you there.

"Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... excuse me for one second."

Bro.

"Of course," he replies.

I go into the kitchen again.

It's on fire.

I leave the kitchen again.

HAHA

I fake yawn. "Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped."

"Yes, I should be--" He happens to catch sight of the kitchen as you reenter, "Good lord, what is happening in there?!"

"Aurora Borealis?"

HAHAHAHA

Bro there's no way.

"Ah- Aurora Borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?!"

"Yes."

You need to roll the fattest deception check of your life.

There is zero way this works.

NAT 20 BABY LET'S GO!

HAHAHAHAHAHA THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY DUDE.

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? HOW ARE YOU GETTING AWAY WITH THIS?

...I- ...Man whatever. Chalmers asks "...May I see it?"

...I can NOT fucking believe I have to let you get away with this...

Uh. "...No," Skinner replies.

Whatever. Both of you exit the house.

Agnes calls out from inside, "Seymour! The house is on fire!"

"No, mother, it's just the Northern Lights."

Still can not belive that worked.

I know right? I am losing it.

Anyways Chalmers says "Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good ham."

Chalmers begins heading home, as Agnes screams for help, causing Chalmers to look back towards the house.

I give him a thumbs up and a smile.

...Right, so he continues walking away.

Once he's out of sight I go back in to try to help with the fire.

Agnes cries out one last time, "Help! HELP!!!"

...And that's where we're gonna have to end the session for today.

That shit was crazy. I have no idea how you managed to pull that out of your ass.

Peak lying behavior.

| Be my valentines |

[zhongli, Venti, Childe, Xiao, Kaeya, Diluc x F!reader]

Here’s the scenario:

You’re alone on valentine’s day, probably thinking of your own problems and not paying close attention to the festivities of this new event. That is until he approaches you.

You’re standing alone in Liyue harbour. Watching the people of Liyue busy themselves down below. It was easy to distinguish the couples from the singles, as they all seemed to flock together.

You don’t notice the geo archon approaching until he clears his throat.

To which you’re obliged to spin around and face your contender, to your surprise you’re met with a familiar simple smile. A smile in which the last few months you had grown accustomed to.

You countered back with your own cheerful smile, eyes squinting against the sunlight as wrinkles formed around your eyes.

Your expression was priceless to the archon. Something that he would gladly die laying his eyes upon it for a final time.

Now unbeknownst to you Zhongli had made it his mission to confess his feelings to you, afterall Zhongli new all of Liyue’s history and he new today was a day of not only couples celebrating but of confessions.

The archon pulled a magnificent bouquet of glaze lilies out from behind him. He watched as your eyes lit up in twinkles and you gladly accepted his gift.

Clearing his throat he begun. “Y/N in the last few months we have spent together I have found myself growing rather... attached persay.”

“I was wondering if you would do me the honours of—”

“Yes!” You cheered, cutting himself off mid sentence.

“You didn’t even allow me to formally ask, it’s not official until I do so.” This grandpa and contracts I tell you.

Anyways in the end he officially asked you to be his girlfriend to which you joyously accepted and you spent the rest of the day together, showering each other in love.

Troubles long forgotten.

You’re actually relaxing in mond as you listen to your little bard friend play. He’s singing and dancing about making children laugh and couples smile.

He sings and tells tales of romances from long ago, how they fought to be with one another and died to stay together.

The talk of romances and relationships has you sighing, you had wanted to ask Venti to be your valentine but had cowered out at the last minute. Kaeya (your friend) had tried to convince you to continue, but unfortunately there’s no way to sway a stubborn mind.

Venti jumps over to you and plops himself down beside you. Leaning up against you which in turn cause a ferocious blush to spread across your cheeks, you spin away praying he missed it.

He didn’t of course.

Venti hums quietly to himself before finally piping up. “You know Y/N you’re so troublesome, I’d dare say more so than me!”

“No i’m not Venti!”

“You are so! You go about acting like you’re fine when there’s a question youve been dying to ask me all day, you can’t deny it I see through your lies.”

He booped you on the nose as your face snapped back to meet his turquoise gaze. HE KNEW?!

Venti whispered into your ear. “Kaeya told me, and yes. I’ll be your valentine.” He hummed sweetly before jumping up and singing once more.

You’d kill Kaeya if you ever saw him again, although he did get you your valentines so you couldn’t be too mad at him...

no you were defo mad and totally hit him as venti cheered you on

in the end you and Venti spent a wonderful day together singing and dancing and falling more madly in love than ever before, to top it off the two of you watched the stars from his statue.

Where you may or may not have shared a first kiss.

Childe didn’t actually formally ask you to be his valentines but he had seen your troubled expression earlier and big brother instincts took place.

He had grabbed your hand and said “Girlie let’s have a little fun, shall we?”

And so the two of you spent the day together, running from stall to stall eating fine Liyue cuisine.

Playing festive valentine games and winning each one, you know how Childe is hes in it to win it no other way.

It was the end of the day when the two of you had found a spot not far from Liyue, but far enough to be alone.

There you two sat alone, well actually with a giant bear Childe had won for you.

This time you spoke up first. “Childe... I wanted to ask you and I know valentine’s day is basically over but... would you be my valentine?”

Childe was taken aback. “Ojou-chan...” He began. “Wasn’t that what we were doing all day?”

hold up. WHAT??

“No way! Childe that wasn’t- did you think that was a date?”

“THAT WASN’T A DATE?!”

It took awhile to explain but he finally realised that no it wasn’t a date. Ngl he was disappointed but then realised you asked him out anyways so he cheered up fast.

Please he’s just a child someone explain to him you have to formally ask these things...

Okay please this man. “I have no interest in mortal festivities.”

He doesn’t. He really doesn’t. So lowkey like Childe you’re going to have to bring it up.

You go to Wangshu inn in hopes he hasn’t gone off to fight demons and as luck would have it he hasn’t!

You go up to his floor and see him staring across the endless Dihua marshas. In the golden light of the evening they’re actually something to marvel at.

You clear your throat in an attempt to get his attention.

He acknowledges your presence with a grunt and a, “What now?”

Nervously you step forwards and begin. “I made you almond tofu! A-and some chocolates... of course you don’t have to accept them but they’re for you so here!”

Xiao turns to face you. And unlike your expectations of having him meet you angrily at disturbing his peace hes actually surprised, shocked even. A mortal has never prepared him any kind of delicacy before.

Never mind that and chocolates. He isn’t oblivious to what you’re trying to do and he’s well accustomed to the ways of the Liyue people.

He knows exactly what he’s doing when he accepts them from you.

“I’m not very good with words... but if you want me to be your valentine you didn’t have to go through all the trouble. I may not care for mortal festivities but... I care for you.”

please marry me.

HOHOHO Kaeya.

Kaeya knows what he’s doing better than anyone in the seven counties of Teyvat. He has it all planned out.

Meet you in the morning with chocolates and a bouquet of flowers and then bring you to his favourite restaurant for some of mond’s finest cuisine and then he’ll take you out of the city where the two of you can watch the stars while sipping on dandelion wine.

However, the moment he sees you standing at the fountain centered in mond he’s for once at a loss for words.

You were utterly breath taking, a sight that he wished to savour like a fabulous glass of a 60 year old bottle of death afternoon wine.

You turned around and spotted Kaeya, waving him over. For a moment he forgot himself and actually stood staring. Before realising he wasn’t frozen in place and ran over to you.

Kaeya grinned his usual charismatic smile and handed you chocolates and calla lilies.

“I was wondering perchance, if this fine lady would do me the honours of accompanying me on such a romantic holiday?”

With a charming grin and honey laced words who could say no? Of course you were madly in love with this man so you accepted within a heartbeat.

Believe me when I say, Kaeya knows how to treat a woman. And that’s like a queen.

You went to visit him at Dawn Winery. He said he was too busy with work to come up to mond so you wanted to surprise him with a little gift; a box of chocolates prepared especially.

Like Xiao and Childe you were going to have to make the move with someone like Diluc. He didn’t care so much as for physical displays of affection and while he always took initiative love was a foreign language to him and so he didn’t know where to begin.

His butler let you in and you headed straight over to his office, knocking on his door.

“come in.” You heard the familiar low raspiness of his voice, a telltale sign he was overworking himself.

Upon entering you presented the chocolates with a proud smile. Almost immediately he got up from his seat and went over to greet you.

“I never expected to see you here Y/N but may I say you have made my day... and oh? What’s this?”

“Chocolates Diluc. I made them for you and I was uh... actually wondering something.”

He took them from your hands with a smile. He knew what you wanted to ask and yet he longed for you to speak the words.

“What is it Y/N?”

“Would you... be my valentine?”

Diluc’s smile grew, it was wider than you had ever seen it and it even seemed like a childish manour danced in his eyes.

He carefully embraced you and planted a kiss to your forehead sighing in pure bliss.

“I thought you’d never ask.”

Diabolik Lovers Zero Vol. 12 Azusa Mukami [Track 2]

Original title: 鋭利な切っ先

Source: Diabolik Lovers Zero Vol. 12 Azusa Mukami [CD not owned by me]

Audio: Here

Seiyuu: Kishio Daisuke

Translator’s note: In the other Zero CDs, it really did feel as if the boys were fighting ‘themselves’ because the voices were almost exactly the same aside from a slightly echo added to the ‘fake’ version. However, Azusa sounds so different when he’s actually talking normal/upbeat, it feels like his enemy is an entirely different person instead. xD I actually really like his normal voice too, especially all the little giggles and noises he makes. It’s a shame he never talks like that in the main series.

Track 2: A Sharp Point

*Rustle*

“Ah...Woah...That startled me...This is my first time...seeing a painting step out of its canvas...Also he looks...just like me...”

( Ehe~ Do I? Fufu~ What a relief. I figured you’d get mad at me for borrowing your appearance without permission. )

Your eyes widen in shock. 

( Ah~ I wonder if I spooked the lady over there? You could say I’m the manager of this place! I don’t have a physical body, so if I don’t do this, I can’t even talk to you guys. )

“A manager without...a physical body...Ah! M-My sincere apologies for entering this place...without asking. I accidentally dropped these drawings earlier as well...”

( Ahー Those sketches are amongst my personal favorites, so I was sad to see them being knocked over onto the floor. However, I happen to be in an excellent mood right now, so it’s all good. It’s been a while since we had visitors after all. On top of that...What a lovely scent. I’m sure you’ll make for an excellent meal. )

“...Eh?”

You flinch.

( Ah...Did I make you worried? Rest assured, she won’t be the only one, I’ll make sure you suffer the same fate. )

“W-What do you mean...? Are you going to...eat us?”

( Yeah, that’s right. The large amount of portraits you saw at the entrance are all of visitors who met their end here. ...Once you’ve set foot inside this museum, you cannot make it back out alive. After the two of you have been consumed, I’ll display your pictures there as well~ )

“T-That’s...troubling!”

Azusa grabs hold of your hand.

“Eve, let’s run...!”

The two of you make a run for it.

*TIMESKIP*

“Haah, haah...T-To think he...eats his visitors...Haah, haah...We should have...never entered this place...Haah, haah...We have to hurry up...and get out of here...before the other me...catches up to us...! Haah, haah...Eh!?”

You suddenly come to a halt.

“What is...this...? A large butterfly is...pinned to the door...? Haah, haah...We can’t get out through here. Let’s look for another exit...”

The painting demon suddenly appears in front of them.

( ...Woah there~ )

“...!!”

( The large pin keeping that butterfly nailed against the door...It’s one of my favorites because of how thin and sharp it is. Even after being turned into a specimen, the butterfly keeps its beauty, so I’m sure the two of you would love to experience it as well? )

“...! I have...no intention of becoming a specimen...”

( Is that so? Then...I guess this will strike your fancy more? )

*Cling*

“...Ah!”

( Say...This knife is incredibly sharp, don’t you think? If you cut with it, lots of blood would come flowing out...It’d make for quite the show, don’t you think? Could I test it out on you guys? You don’t mind, do you? )

He steps closer.

“Y-You can’t...! Doing that to me would be one thing but...I won’t let you treat her badly! Ugh...”

Azusa steps in front of you to protect you.

“Why do you...eat...us visitors?”

( I mean, hunger makes you sad, right? )

“Even if you are...hungry...We won’t become your food...I’m begging you...Please give up.”

( I won’t be the one eating you! The museum is the hungry one after all. )

“...E-Eh?”

( Right, you don’t know, do you? In that case, I have to inform you! ...You see, this museum is a living creature. )

“A living...creature? ...This building is...alive?”

( It sure is! Therefore, you have to feed it! )

The fake Azusa walks up to you.

( Hm...This girl over here... )

*Sniff*

( Smells so lovely, I’m sure the museum will be thrilled. Fufufu~ )

“...! I-I won’t let you...! I definitely won’t hand her over!”

( Why? Why would you be so mean? Do you enjoy tormenting me? Fufu~ That’s not bad either, but right now I have to prioritize meal time... )

*Cling*

( I’ve been honing it well, so I’ll make sure it hurts a lot, okay~? )

*STAB*

“...Ah!”

You rush over to Azusa’s side.

“I-I’m...fine...I’m used to being...hurt after all...Ugh...”

He collapses.

*Thud*

“My body’s...”

( Fufufu~ This knife has been coated with poison, so you won’t be able to move for a while, you know? )

“Kuh...! Eve...Go!”

You shake your head.

“No buts! Just run...! I’ll be...fine, okay? So hurry up...”

He faints.

*Rustle rustle*

( Hehe~ He’s out cold. ...You’re up next, huh? Fufu~ Don’t worry! I don’t want to waste your blood, so I’ll only make a very light cut. ...Goodnight~! )

*SLASH*

*TIMESKIP*

*Cling cling*

( Ahー You’ve awaken? )

You mistake the demon for Azusa at first. 

( Oh no, I’m the portrait! The boy you were with...is next door~ It’d be troublesome if you were to run away, so I’ve crucified you both. (1) )

You try and free yourself from the restraints.

*Cling cling*

( Ah...Why are you screaming? Oh, right! You didn’t like this exhibition floor very much, did you? What a shame, all of these specimen are lovely after all. )

You frown.

( However...Right now, you’re one of them! You’ve also been pinned down, so you have to get along with the other artworks! )

*Cling cling*

( Haah...Why won’t you listen to me? Just look at how good the other works are! Ahー Right! You can barely wait, can’t you? I guess you want to become this museum’s prey as soon as possible! I’m sorry! Did I leave you waiting? I wanted to hurry up and move to dinner time as well. Good thinking, let’s do just that! )

You protest.

( How am I wrong? Don’t worry, I’ve already got everything prepared. Usually, I would just hurl the prey into the canvas whole. That’s how the museum eats them. )

Your face turns pale.

( However, I’m sure you have a special taste, so to ensure the museum gets to eat you at your best, I’ve decided to chop you up finely~ )

*Cling*

( Fufu~ This knife has a very thin blade, so it cuts extremely well. Don’t worry. I’ll properly cut you up! )

You start struggling again.

*Cling cling*

( Aah...! I can’t cut very well when you’re moving around like that...Hm...I suppose I’ll have to keep you in place with something? Oh! Right! )

The fake Azusa picks up a large pin. 

*Thud*

( If I pierce this large pin right through you, you won’t be able to move, huh? )

Your eyes widen in horror.

( Aah~ The tip is sharp and looks very painful, don’t you think? No matter how feisty the prey may be, when you stab them with this bad boy, they’ll behave in no time! Hmm~ Now where to stab you? Your belly, perhaps? )

*Cling cling*

( Ah...Don’t make a fuss. I won’t be able to pierce it through very well. Keep still, okay? )

*Cling cling*

( Hm...Didn’t you hear me when I told you to keep still? The pin’s no good either? )

*Thud*

( Ooh! Right! You wanted me to do this...didn’t you? )

He steps closer.

*Rustle rustle*

( You prefer fangs piercing your skin over a pin, right? )

You flinch.

( You seem delicious, so stopping your movements by sucking your blood would be better, no? Mmh~ Let’s do it like that then. )

He leans in.

( Hmm~ The upper arm...It’s so soft, I’m sure my fangs will just sink right in. I’ll plunge them in deep, okay? )

The demon bites you.

*Gulp gulp gulp*

( ...Haah! Woah! It’s my first time tasting such sweet blood! I only wanted to paralyze your movements, but now I want to suck you dry! ...I wonder how you taste in other places~? ...How about I bite your lips? It’s a tender spot, so I’m sure it’d be painful for you. Fufufu~ Your frightened expression...It’s very nice! Very much so! )

*Sluuuuuurp*

( ...Oh? Does it feel good? You like being hurt, huh? )

*Cling cling*

( Eeh~? Why would you lie? I mean, your eyes are watering. You’re actually eagerly awaiting this, aren’t you? Fufu~ The more painful, the better, no? Don’t worry, I’ll hurt you even more. You’ll be turned into prey soon, so I’ll give you my fangs wherever you want them. )

*Cling cling*

( Ah, ah, aaah...You’re wrists are all scraped up because you kept struggling. Say, does it hurt here? )

You cry out in pain. 

( Fufufu~ It hurts yet you seem happy. Perhaps I should bite right through the scraped skin~? Fufu~ Ah...I’ll loosen the chains just a little, okay? )

*Cling cling*

( There we go...Woah...Hohoho~ The skin has turned red and it’s bleeding slightly. Don’t worry. I’ll soothe it by giving you an even greater pain, okay? )

He bites your wrist.

*Sluuuurp*

( Haah...Hahaha~ Ah. It feels that good, huh? The more you resist, the richer your blood becomes. Fufufu~ Hm~  There’s a delicious smell wafting through the air~ Say...Give me more? You don’t mind, do you? )

*Rumble*

( Wah...!? What was that just now...!? )

*Rumble rumble*

( She’s in pain...Oh no! I have to hurry and rush to her side! )

The fake Azusa immediately moves away, running towards the door.

( Ah...! You stay put here, okay? I’ll make sure to chop you up once I’m back! )

He leaves the room.

Translation notes

(1) 貼り付け or ‘hari-tsuke’ applies that they are not simply tied up, but also hanging to something. The word is also used to refer to ‘Crucifixion’ after all. It isn’t specified what exactly you and Azusa are tied to, but I assume it’s a wall of some sorts?

Singing the Song of the Hero in the Oasis of Scorching Sand - Part 6

Murr: Well, you’re going back, right? In that case, it’ll be reassuring to have Oz around in case something happens! He’s even stronger than you after all!

Shino: That’s a good idea. Let’s go ask Oz to fill in Mithra’s spot.

Rustica: Oh, Lord Oz will join us on this vacation too? But it’s a pity that Mithra won’t be around anymore.

White: Well, it is what it is. Since dear Mithra says he’ll turn back with his tail between his legs, let’s go ask our stronger than strong Ozzy for help.

Chloe: I’d like to play and chat some more with Mithra, but we shouldn’t make him stay here against his will.  

Murr: Yeah, it’s a pity! Anyway, let’s part ways here! Bye bye, Mithra! Please bring Oz here to us!

Mithra: …..

Mithra: Isn’t it the case that a stick is more useful than that man at night? Since I am stronger than strong, I’ll do you a favor and stay here.

Chloe: Eh? You will stay? For real?

Murr: Yay!

Rustica: Thank you, Mithra. You’re really reliable, offering to stay with us like that.

Akira: (The Western wizards are pretty reliable themselves)

Shino: That aside, where has Owen gone? He said some random thing, riled the whole town up, then just disappeared like that. He’s nothing but trouble.

White: His aura is still around here, so he is just somewhere in town. Perhaps he’ll appear when we least expect him again.

White: Well then, since we’ll stay the night here, I can’t be alone. I should call for Snow before the sun sets.

Cain: That’s settled then. Let’s separate and investigate individually until nightfall, then gather again by dinner. Master Sage, do you mind giving me a hand in asking around for information? I need some help with how my eyes are.

Akira: Understood. Just leave it to me.

The wizards went their own ways and gathered information until the appointed time for gathering.  

Akira: (Where has Owen gone? It’d be nice if he returned to our group by night time.)

[A while later]

By the time for dinner, we met again at the rendezvous point, a tavern of Cain’s acquaintance. The terrace of the tavern, which allowed a good view of the surrounding area, was half-full. We could see the lake very well from our table.

Akira: Wow, this is delicious! The flavor is so rich, and it melts in your mouth like first-grade fatty tuna.

Rustica: Indeed. It goes really well with the wine too.

Cain: That’s the liver of the fish Shino and Murr caught earlier today. I asked the kitchen to cook it for us.

Shino: Hehe, it’s yummy, right? Feel free to have a taste.

Mithra: Do they serve charcoal here?

Chloe: Uhm, they don’t seem to have it in the menu?

Murr: My dear twinned teachers, a-h.

White: No, no, no, no.

Snow: That fish has nothing but bones.

Snow and White, who sat next to each other, shook their heads in sync at the fork Murr was holding out to them.

Akira: Snow, sorry for calling you here all of the sudden.

Snow: What are you talking about. It’s fun to come late and slip in the vacation. Bradley’s community service work finished without incident too.

Chloe: Sorry for not preparing an outfit for you. I used up all of the fabric so I can’t make another one. Next time, you’ll definitely have a splendid outfit, Lord Snow!

Snow: Hohoho, I’ll look forward to that then.

I drank and ate my fill. While enjoying the ambiance and cuisine unique to our host town, we exchanged the information we had gathered.

Shino: I went around the market and talked to people, but didn’t hear anything relevant to the incident. Instead, I nearly ended up buying everything the crafty merchants tried to sell me.

Chloe: It’s the same for our group too. People in the shops we went to said they have seen Seth the Hero too, but somehow our talk turned to the topic of what the shop had on sale, and we bought many items from them. Have a look, this one and this one too.

Akira: This glass is so beautiful. It has the same color as the lake.

Chloe: I know, right? That will be our gift for Shylock.

White: Hmm, looks like everyone is the same.

Rustica: Lord White, did you go shopping too?

White: That’s not what I meant. I was commenting on how we all didn’t find anything. I went with Murr to have a look at the documents that record the legends that are around the town.

Murr: But there was nothing of note. No new incident or curious story.

Everyone’s investigation had a roughly similar result. Wherever we went, there was no talk of something serious that happened. Cain and I, who went searching in a different area, were the same.

Cain: We went around asking a lot of people. Somehow the responses of the local here were a bit strange. When we asked them if something unusual had happened, they all replied ‘Oh there was this and that. Is that what you meant?”

Chloe: I know what you mean! That’s indeed the vibe everywhere. People saw illusions, or heard voices while travelling on empty road at night. Milk that was left by the window at night disappeared in the morning. We heard such stories here and there. However,…

Shino: It seems the local attitude is like, those are not new incidents but something that happens all the time.

Akira: That’s right. To them, such incidents are somewhat surprising but nothing to be alarmed about.

Murr: We heard this from the bearded uncle who showed us the stories and records.

Murr mimed a beard and said in a husky voice.

Murr: “Such incidents happen because this region is full of miraculous power under the influence of the Sacred Chalice”.

Rustica: Ahaha. You’re really good, Murr. You act just like him.

Shino: Who did he just imitated?

Rustica: Well, I have no idea.

Mithra: My imitation is closer to the real one than that.

Shino: Mithra, do you know who you mimicked?

Mithra: I don’t know though.

White: I get it now. The many unusual, inexplicable phenomena that happen in this town may have something to do with the power of the spirits in the region.

Snow: In an area with a strong holy ambiance, divine beings like spirits or fairies often gather.

Akira: That reminds me. You said something similar when we just arrived, that there’s a thick presence of spirits in this region.

White: That’s right. In regions where the power of the spirits are strong like in this town, mysterious phenomena occur frequently. That someone’s things disappear or someone hears voices is often the pranks or the chatters of the spirits and fairies.

Snow: It may not be something intentional, but this power or aura may have certain effects on people’s lives.

Rustica: To the townspeople, a little miraculous incident is probably like an acquaintance they run into from time to time. It has no shape or name, but everyone knows about it, like a neighbor one would greet ‘oh I just saw you at that place the other day’.

White: Yeah. The locals treat such things as a part of their lives, to which they don’t have much surprise or fear. They have been living alongside invisible, miraculous presences in peace all this time.

Visitors aside, the people who lived in this town generally had an indifferent attitude about stories of miracles and curious incidents. To those from the outside, the people here talked about such experiences in the same manner as talking about the weather.

Cain: Anyway, it seems we can conclude that such little unusual incidents happen on the regular in a region like this. As a result, even though many people mention that Seth the Hero has been sighted a lot recently, it isn’t something that causes a big stir.

The Little Big Things (2/4)

(@ricksanchezdwc) So like we had done not too long ago, me, @hoodoo12 @porkchop-ao3 @rickstexaschick are doing the same prompt cause we all loved the idea. Thanks to @dorklyevil for allowing me to use a line from one of her comics. And I didn't mention it before, but this story references Labyrinth, and it follows the events of this fic As The World Falls Down.

This is part 2. If you haven't read part one then read it here. (Read Part1 Here)

Chapter 2: The Scientist Who Became A King

Here, it was evergreen, and it never rained.

You had never known a time without the tears of God; the rain, which washed the earth clean of its trials, and its yesterdays, welcoming the oncoming morrows ever to come. Though, there was a time, you did without it, and you longed for it, and the places it touched upon; once upon a dream.

“Rick,” you wondered, as you did about many things. “does it rain here?”

“Only during certain seasons. I-I know there is a lake on the west side of this planet, but it's - it's a-a bit far from here. Why d-do you ask?”

“Hmm, I was just wondering.”

“Hohoho,” he chuckled. “as y-you should. Curiosity means a-a desire t-to learn or know about anything, and it isn't - I-I-I don't dislike it. ” He admitted with a wink. “Just in case y-you were wondering.”

You pouted, which made him laugh, a full on belly laugh. The little tease, perhaps the Rick in him couldn't resist.

______________

Side glances, soft smiles, random stories from Citadel, he was in another one of his talkative, happy go lucky moods. Blame it on the scenery, or you telling him an hour or so ago how cute he was, but he was running on happiness. “And th-thats how I-I got this lucky penny.”

Holding your hand out, you giggled. “Can I hold it? Maybe something good will happen.”

Glancing between you and the penny, he placed a quick peck on your cheek and dropped the coin on your palm. With a blush, he replied softly. “F-for extra luck.”

You gave it back, and continued walking, allowing him to wait anxiously, before blowing back a kiss that made him tear up a little. Damn it he was cute. Perhaps, you felt uninhibited, though Zeta-7 had that effect on you a great deal of the time; that or you two really were being affected by the environment. You two walked among enormous flowers for what seemed like hours.

The blood red blossoms drooped heavily from above, their faces turned down towards your tiny forms; their blessings hidden in the wind and its whispers. For a while you couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. It was as though the world around you was calling for you to return. You wanted to roll around, and tumble down hill, and the flowers gave you the strongest sense to climb them; their perfume thick and sweet, emitting a soft, amber glow. Petals drifted down like leaves falling in autumn. Each time one touched the ground, a soft sound could be heard; like a chord being struck on a harp. A great symphony was all around you two, with no beginning or end. Feelings of deep peace and satisfaction were within you; as well as nostalgia from false memories.

The thing about memories, they were like homemade movies; messy and out of focus, with the select few which were hidden gems, located in the corners of the basement in a random cardboard box; only remembered when stumbled upon. Though, if you closed your eyes, you would be back there, in that place where you had lived a second lifetime. And you'd remember that as charming as it had been, it truly was melancholic; like the rain. You'd remember the days you were almost a princess, and the loneliness of the mountain.

At the very top of the white capped mountains, it would sometimes rain for days, especially on the ones when you were the saddest; perhaps the mountain king had his own sadness too.

It made you wonder, if it was because Zeta-7 had been longing for you, or if he knew you were longing for him. For now, observing him, and seeing him happy, made you hope it really wasn't all that bad for him. If it had been, you would do all you could to make it better.

________________________

The ground was soft, and with every step you took, you'd sink a little into the moss pillows before bouncing back up; a lilting tune encouraging your playfulness. This place had a charm akin to the forest in the middle of spring, whose flowers and trees had spread themselves to enjoy the filtered beams of light. Of course, if you replaced the trees with flowers, and the light with that of bioluminescent pollen, then there wouldn't be much difference. Oh, that opened up a whole other line of questions which you could ask later, but for now you were giddy, and every time you bounced back up, you'd erupt into a fit of giggles. A few times, Zeta-7 had to stop and make sure you didn't hurt yourself, but for the most part, he'd stand back and watch, or take pictures of your amusement. A few times, you caught him wiping at his eyes, but he'd say it was nothing; you knew better of course, but let him be.

Later, there was laughter in his voice when he said, “Y-y-y-y-you enjoying yourself?”

You nodded in between giggles, and when you had enough, you stepped off the moss, and leaned against one of the flowers stems, breathless and tired. My, how the light filtered through the canopy of leaves, the low humidity, the intoxicating scent, and the view made you wistful. “The garden fairies had told me about a place like this once, as well as...” you faltered, suddenly afraid of triggering bad memories.

Though, he picked up where you left off. “A-a place you saw once upon a dream?”

“Yeah. Um, is it okay to talk about it?”

With his back towards you, Rick nodded as he unpacked the contents of his backpack in search for a snack. “If y-you want to.”

Sometimes, his passive responses stopped you from talking any further. You assumed it was a trait he had picked up or learned in order to avoid drawing attention to himself or to stay out of trouble, but it also made you uncomfortable at times. If he wasn't interested, then usually you would avoid the subject, but this time you carried on; even if with reluctance. “We haven't talked much about it since it happened.”

“I-I know.” His voice picking up that endless guilt.

“It's not one of those things that's going to go away,” You sighed. “and to be honest, I haven't gotten over it.”

Everything that had happened, at least the parts you remembered, you didn't want to forget. Well, except for the loneliness; you didn't like that part. In a dream, you had a family, friends, and almost became a queen, but what did you almost lose in order gain all that? Forgetting Rick? Almost losing your life? The lesser of two evils was your current life, but it didn't always feel that way.

You rubbed your arm, suddenly finding your shoes a bit interesting. “Am I supposed to bring it up casually, or what?”

“Do what y-y-you think is right I ugh - I suppose.”

“That's sort of the problem. I don't know what's right anymore” This caught his attention, as he had stopped moving, and soon after began to wring his hands. Damn, you needed to remember to control your tone. You continued, in a gentler tone. “You take me to these dazzling, wonderful places, and we usually go home happy and tired, with a handful of stories to add to our memory jars, and I enjoy that, and what we do. However,” You paused, nibbling your bottom lip in hopes of finding something better to say, but continued on. “there's something we haven't addressed, and that's me, and how what I do affects you. When we flirt with death, and get injured, because I wanted a good photo or something, how come you don't get mad? I mean, you deserve to after you went on a journey that could have been avoided in the first place if I would've listened. And forgive me if I sound shrill, but I almost forgot you. Doesn't that bother you?”

Placing the items back in his pack, and slipping it over his shoulders, he stood there so frighteningly still, you wondered if you had finally crossed the line. Then, he took out the penny he talked about a few hours ago, and gave it a squeeze. “It - it does, but y-you didn't forget me. At least not completely, and I-I-I guess I left a deeper impression then I had pr-previously believed..”

“But if I would have? Don't you see, I'm not prepared for this. We've gone over the other hypothetical, important what not, but not about the incident, at least not in detail. And I think it's about time we do, that way we're both aware of what not to do next time, and how I can avoid making an ass of myself. Don't you agree?”

Turning around, the lines around Zeta-7s eyes deepened, as well as the creases of his forehead, and there was a pensive cloudiness of his usually electric blues. The sweet songs around you had transitioned almost without your notice. Adagio, the melody now reminded you Clair De Lune, and Gymnopédie. “Well, I-I-I-I thought you - I assumed it made you uncomfortable, and that's the last thing that I'd ever want you t-t-to feel. W-w-we can talk if you're - you're ready.”

“If I'm ready? Are you?”

“P-p-possibly.”

“Honestly, I am uncomfortable talking about this,” you admitted, which compelled him to pull you close, rubbing your back in soothing circles. Enveloped in the warmth of the man you loved, and a distance away from everything else which could possibly hurt you, you second guessed on whether it really was a good time to think of it again, but how else would you two get past this? You continued, in that small, girlish voice that pained him. “but it's not because of what happened to me. I couldn't care less if I had gotten hurt, but if it meant hurting you, and if what I've put you through has, then I wish I hadn't been so careless. I thought I had it all together, and knew what I was doing, but all I seem to do is give you trouble. God, I'm such idiot.”

“Shh,” he cooed, brushing away a lock of hair. “th-thats not true. Y-you're thoughtful, and - and perceptive, and s-s-so clever.”

“What have I ever done that's so clever?”

Leaning forward until your foreheads touched, he confessed. “Y-y-y-y-you got me to - to loosen up and try new things, and showed me its okay to get e-emotional. Why, y-you even brought me t-t-to the moon without ever leaving the ground.”

“What do you mean?”

“I-I-I have wanted many things during my life,” he admitted, pulling back enough to study you. “but none of them have been as - as wonderful as you. And I've - you know that I've traveled across the universe, but it's usually been alone

I'm - I-I-I don't want to be alone anymore. Having you around has inspired me t-t-to get back in touch with my surroundings a-and the world, but I - you're m-my world. Gosh,” he blushed as he caressed your cheek, his thumb brushing away fresh tears. “you're - you really are more beautiful than the night and stars combined, and y-y-you don't even know it. Y-you're my satellite, m-m-mi Luna, and it takes a strong women to put up with me. You're my treasure, and I'd - I'd do anything t-t-to protect you. That's why I-I-I-I chose t-to do it, to go and find you. We're all w-we got, and despite what I thought might of - of happened, I'm s-s-so happy I found you, and that you're safe. W-w-with me.”

“What did you think would happen?”

With serious, but tender eyes, Zeta-7 answered. “Th-that you would have forgotten me completely, and never woken up.”

“And?”

He cleared his throat in the manner he did from time to time, trying to piece together the right words that wouldn't upset you. In a voice above a whisper, he finished. “And p-p-p-passed away.”

“Oh.”

“Th-that blue moss did a-a number on you, but there doesn't seem to be any residual side effects. I'm glad a-about that.”

“What if I would've had brain damage? What then?”

Jokingly, he answered. “Hmm, then I guess I-I would've gone back and used Mr. Needfuls gift.”

“You…..you would've done that for me? No, that's outrageous. If you did that, then you wouldn't have been able to do your science stuff.”

With a shrug, he softened. “Th-that's true, but we would have had other stuff w-we could do, and I-I-I still would love you. Diminished intelligence d-doesn't affect happiness. On the contrary, we'd only focus on - on what truly matters. That, and I'd have the joy t-to learn it all over again.”

“Rick, I love it when you get cheesy, but you couldn't mean all that.”

“I-I-I do, but it's okay if you don't believe it. I'll - I'll prove it, but for now let's not - not think about it too hard. Everything bad th-that happened, we'll - we'll talk about it and g-get through it. T-t-together.”

“So, I can ask whatever I want?”

“Y-y-yes, wherever, whenever.”

You knew he meant it to sound sweet, but it took a moment for it to sink in what he actually said, and you couldn't help it when you giggled. “Rick, I'm pretty sure that's the title of a Shakira song.”

“Hohoho, r-really? Was she on - on American idol?”

His obliviousness only made it worse. How cute. You really were lucky to have him, this patient dork of a man. “No, but nevermind that. I'm glad I still have you too.”

“I'm glad y-you're still as adorable and lovely as - as ever.”

Giving him a playful shove, despite the heat in your cheeks, you hid your face in the scratchy fabric of his linen shirt,. “Rick, how can you say stuff like that with a straight face?”

In his matter of fact way, he answered. “B-because I mean it.”

This man really would one day kill you with kindness, and this time it was your vines which stretched out, wrapping themselves on his arm, and it's flowers kissing wherever they could touch; his neck, cheeks, eyes, forehead, and mouth. It was amusing to watch him laugh and squirm, which encouraged his vines to do the same to you, but you two pulled back a little, and they returned to place, and behaved; at least for the moment.

________________

Rick decided to call the silly, cheeky, little vines from your matching bracelets Ioculus vines, which meant funny if you heard him correctly. Anyway, they were mischievous, and had minds of their own; or so you said, because you didn't want to admit how fun it was to tease Rick. Why, he might have been in the middle of an explanation, and they'd by climbing up his arm, and across his back, but he'd only squirm and continue. Though, the one time your Ioculus managed to kiss the back of his neck, he jumped back so violently, you'd swear he had seen a ghost. And watching him lightly scold the Ioculus as though they were children, then apologize for getting annoyed at them, not only made you laugh wholeheartedly, but it made you imagine him as a father, and what it would be like if he had to be a disciplinarian.

Perhaps it was but your girlish dream at work, but you could see him playing with two or three kids, telling them stories, showing them the magic of science. If they misbehaved, he'd take them aside, and explain why they might be getting disciplined, but never out of anger, and always reassure them that it was all out of love, and that he'd always care for them. And if you were honest with yourself, you pictured yourself sitting on his lap, after they had gone to bed, listening to how his day was, and how much he missed you. And you'd tell him….. Oh, but those were just thoughts; and you imagined a lot of things.

You wondered if the ioculus worked like mood rings and acted upon your feelings for each other. Did they know what the heart truly wanted? Because, as long as the two of you were close, the vines along your wrists seemed to interact with one another, but when Zeta-7 distanced himself, the blooms growth was stunted, and withered a little. And after a while, whether it had to do with the sensory overload, or your bending the forces according to your will, you were drained. “Rick, is it okay to rest for a while?”

“Of - of course.”

Leading you by the hand, he took a moment to spread out a blanket and you proceeded by laying beside him, feeling more worn out then you had anticipated. “Ughhh, I'm so tired. Honestly, when we get home, I might just go straight to bed.”

“Do y-y-you want to go home now?”

“No, I’ll be fine if I rest for a while.”

“Are you hungry? D-do you want a snack? I-I have fruit, sandwiches, and I-I even brought granola.”

“Maybe later.” you yawned. “Come here, I want to use your chest as a pillow.”

Carefully, he laid back, making a little old man sound as he settled himself. With your head resting above his heart, you kept quiet for a little while, listening to his heartbeat, the plants around you, and the Ioculus interact. When they did this, there was a sense of completeness, and you'd look at Zeta-7 and wonder how you could adore him so much. The way he wrinkled his nose, his ever changing expressions, soft skin, his sweetness, his everything; you adored it all. Aware of how vulnerable you've become with him, you just want to melt into him, and give him everything; anything that would make him happy. “Rick?”

“Yeah?”

Tentatively, you combed his hair with your fingers, gauging his response as you traced shapes lazily along his scalp. “Are you happy?”

He chuckled, draping an arm over you, answering softly. “When I-I'm with you I am.”

“Flirt. What about your hair, who cuts it?”

“I-I do. Why,” he tensed. “sh-should I change it?”

Brushing his bangs away from his forehead, you pressed a kiss on his brow. “No, I like it this way. It's part of your charm. I guess I was just curious, because it's not even in the back.”

“Oh that, well it's - it's not always easy t-to reach it.”

“Do you mind if I help you next time? I wouldn't want you to go out, not looking your sharpest.”

“I - I don't mind.”

“You'd probably mind if I kissed whatever I could reach. Especially right here.” you softened, pressing a light kiss on his neck which made his heart beat faster.

“I - I do mind that, but it's - I-I-I'm sure you'll probably just tease a-a-a little.”

“You're right, but I might surprise you. Maybe, I won't try anything and I'll just cut your hair. You'll just have to wait and see. Though, this isn't what I meant to talk about.”

“I ugh - I-I didn't think so. What's on y-your mind? You can tell me, if y-you want.”

Snuggling yourself closer, you wondered.“When you were in my dream, you knew about me, but I knew little to nothing about you. How did you become the mountain king? I mean, you don't seem like the type to rule or lord over anyone. So, how did that happen?”

“Oh, it's - are y-y-you sure you want to hear it?”

“I do.”

Caressing your hair, he sighed. “I-I will admit, that it - it wasn't as exciting as y-you think it was, but if y-y-you are sure, then I'll tell it.”

“I am, but tell me just the good parts. Oh, and the parts with me in it. ”

His blue eyes shone with amusement, as he kissed your temple. “O-o-okay just th-the good parts then."

[snowmanmelting]

I'll keep adding stuff bc I can't aaaa

Ok ok so like every dance that's in pairs, you gotta have great understanding with your partner? Sooooo (sorry here comes my Helsa ass I can't help it) what if like, Hans was Elsa's partner and they were kinda couple or smh, so you know, life happens and they split up. A lovers to enemies type situation (?). And the thing is that they were preparing for the Tango World Cup but start having a lot of trouble putting real life problems aside in order to make a good presentation oop--

So in one of those days, Elsa decides to visit a tango bar she hadn't visited in a very long while just to have a drink and maybe dance, the usual.

Buuuuttt as it can happen (apparently) that night there weren't many men, so with no one to ask you to dance you just don't dance :(. And here's were Anna's very gay ass comes in, asking for her hand ;;;;;)))))))

It takes a bit of insistence of her part but Elsa ends up being "pfff sure I guess" not expecting much, but turns out Anna is being very good at leading?? 🙊🙊🙊🙊 Oohh hohoho >:)

So, this turns into a routine of sorts, twice a week they woulx meet at that bar and dance together or smh uwu. And they start talking too, obviously, and 💖💖 love sparks *dramatic voice*

Ok nah, but maybe Elsa eventually tells Anna about her troubles with her dance partner and the World Cup and this and that and "What if we both enter? As a couple?"

:^) and that's the end :^)

Hi hello Snow "pulls AUs out the hat" Manmelting here with your very stereotypical, very Argentinian™ AU:

Professional Tango Dancer!Elsa because it fits her a lot oh my god 🙊🙊 she'll be a really good dancer, working in one of the top tango companies (I think that'll be in Colon Theatre 🤔)

And, you know, I was gonna go with Anna works in scenography and they meet there somehow but!!!! There's actually a company called Tango Entre Mujeres (Tango between women) and aaaaaaaa 🙊🙊 what if they meet and like, Elsa is all about oohh the tradition and the classics bc family pressures and yadda yadda but she actually really likes the idea. And here there would be a dance with Anna that convinces her of the contrary and this is turning into something really cliche but I'll scream about it anyways because YES?? 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

[cutegirlmayra]

Hi~ You probably know who I am lol, but I'm curious, what do you think of ShadowXMaria? I personally adore it as much as SonAmy. Also, would you ever write something cute with Shadow and Maria? :3 Fics revolving around them are super rare lol

Oh, yeah! I’ve seen those shades before! ;Db pretty epic!

My opinion? I love their bond they have, but as for romantic, I don’t support animals and humans :( I barely do out of species lol! But that being said, I do see the big influence she’s been in helping Shadow choose good, I just don’t see it as a ‘lover’ but more as a ‘Guardian Angel’ in a sense.

I could write a respectful and cute ‘motherly’ type of prompt? No problem! And hey, you might see it different than that, but that’s up to you and your enjoyment purposes ;)

Prompt:

Shadow skated down the Space Colony Ark, and skid around a corner. He didn’t seem to need to be moving urgently, but he was.

Suddenly, as he passed by a closet, he heard something tussle and looked back.

Skidding around, he walked casually up to the closet, and folded his arms.

“…Ehem.” he cleared his throat.

“Oh! Oh, dear! I-I’ve been found!”

Maria stumbled out of the closet, hopping on one foot as she did so with her hands out to catch her if she fell. She had lab coats all over her from her grandfather, and even some gentlemen’s hats on.

She looked embarrassed and smiled cutely to Shadow, though slightly curling inward in her nervousness.

“I… I suppose I’m not the greatest at this game, am I?” she giggled, a tiny sweat drop dripping down her face.

“…I never understood the purpose of.. hiding and seeking… what fun is there in wandering around aimlessly when the other could be by your side, enjoying your company?” he gestured his hand out, before she bent down and giggled, holding a hand up to her mouth.

“Oh, Shadow. Don’t you see?” she kindly look to him. “As you miss the person you’re searching for, you long for them. And while you look, that feeling of wanting to find them, and see them again, simply grows and grows! Then you just get so excited! It makes finding them all the more worth it.”

“…I’d rather remain by your side always… Maria.” Shadow looked up, still not smiling as we usually knew him to be, but there was more genuine innocence in his eyes.

“Oh, Shadow!” Maria bent down and hugged him, making him unfold his arms and blink a moment, not sure how to react to this. “That made me very happy!”

“…What… are you doing?” he looked back to her.

She pulled away, and put a hand up to her mouth, holding in another giggle at how little he knew about the world and it’s customs.

“That’s called a ‘hug’, Shadow.” she loved playing teacher, and got down on her knees, placing her hands on them, and then holding them out for him. “You start with your hands.”

He looked at the action, before back to her and seeing her smile, as if to encourage him to participate.

He held out his hands.

“Now what?”

She beamed.

“Now, we spread them out, like this.” she held them out.

He mimicked her.

“Then, we do what I just did. And we embrace!” she leaned forward and hugged him, placing her head on his forehead.

She giggled, “Not so confusing now?”

He lowered his hands to her shoulders, and ducked his head. “No… it’s nice.”

She pulled away and rubbed his head. “It is nice… isn’t it?”

Later, Gerald had prepared a lunch break, and Maria commented that she would of liked to cook for everyone, but Gerald insisted.

They had a small talk at the table, before Gerald mentioned something about the future, and Maria held a sorrowful smile.

Later that day, Shadow was walking down a long row of neverending window screens, where Maria could watch the universe unfold before her.

She had her hands behind her back, that same pained look in her eyes, but gentle smile.

She was so strong, dying from such a powerfully consuming disease, and yet… she could smile through it all.

Shadow looked up at her, growing concerned in her silence. “Maria?”

“Hmm?” She closed her eyes, the windows of her soul, and smiled down to him. The last thing she would allow Shadow to see was pain and suffering inside her.

“..What troubles you?” He stopped walking, looking more serious. “You barely ate. And your silence is disturbing. Is something wrong?”

His care made her happy, after all, he was meant to be her miracle. The very lifeform that would save her from this curse.

She never saw it as a curse though, she always considered it another adventure to take with a stride.

She bent down, “I’m alright, Shadow. But as grandfather mentioned… my family… I… I suppose I started playing hide and seek within my memories.” she didn’t know how else to describe it other than that.

She leaned up and turned back, angelically, towards the long windows.

“You see, Shadow… I’ll never be able to get married.”

He seemed confused by the jargon, looking up at her, and folding his arms.

He looked down to earth.

“I’ll never be able to have a family… or be a mother… or go to school… I can’t see my family anymore… besides of course, my dear grandfather.” she smiled to Shadow.

“And of course, you Shadow. You’re my family as well.” she bent down to hug him, and he fidgeted a moment, but allowed her to do so.

She sat down and began to stroke his head, leaning her own against it as he listened to her further.

She closed her eyes, relaxing… “You are to be a great help to the world, Shadow… I feel selfish.. thinking that perhaps… you are my miracle and mine alone! I would never allow myself to keep you like that, but I would like to be someone very special to you.” she leaned up, and grinned down to him again.

“Would you like that, Shadow? After everything is completed… would you like to live with me down on Earth? We could be a family! Me, you, Grandfather… it would be like a dream.” she placed her hands together as if saying a prayer, ducking her head down.

“…Maria..” Shadow lifted a hand gently to her face, and pulled her chin up with a few of his fingers.

He smiled.

“I would like that very much.”

She beamed, and hugged him again.

Later that night, the two sat in the hallway, up against the wall, as Shadow was fast asleep in Maria’s arms.

The experimentation were done for that day, so Gerald Robotnik started walking along the Ark, admiring the cosmos, before looking to see his granddaughter and Shadow.

He blinked in surprise, before smiling like a proud father.

Maria was stroking his head, humming to Shadow as she leaned her weary head against his.

Gerald walked over, and placed a hand on her head.

She blinked her eyes open slightly and looked up to him, smiling.

Gerald carried Shadow to his containment pod, and Maria watched as he lowered him in, and hooked him up.

“He’ll need to recharge for some time.” Gerald stated, and looked back to Maria’s worried expression.

“Don’t worry my dear. Hohoho!” Gerald placed a hand under her chin, trying to cheer her up. “He’ll be up and running around before you know it!”

“Yes… and we’ll play hide and seek again.” she nodded, as he looked down one final time… before closing the lid, and turning the mist on to keep him preserved.

Chapter 7: Spinel Is Not Ok

“SPINEL WHAT?!?!” The Diamonds exclaimed

Steven Universe told moments later, with tears in his face, to The Diamonds the inconvenience he had with Spinel. At some point The Diamonds agreed with Spinel reaction, they were worrying about her behavior, after all, she is free to express her anger like that because has been around 6000 years abandoned.

Steven tries to figure out that they got a point, but things have to change. He just put aside the conversation and asked them to help him trying to heal Spinel’s gem.

“Are you sure about this Steven?” Asked White Diamond

“She tries to literally kill you, which is not a surprise but is very funny to think on it” Laugh Yellow Diamond with a comic tone.

“Maybe we should give her an opportunity to talk with us and maybe we can heal her emotional bounds.” Commented Blue Diamond

“Yes we should” said Steven

“Ok, let give this little sweetheart an opportunity.” Conclude White Diamond.

Steven smeared his hand with saliva to put it over the gem, it slowly starts to heal, then Yellow Diamond ribbed her hands and touches the gem, seconds later Spinel restores and now she is back but passed out. Blue Diamond touches Spinel with her powers to repair her emotions. Spinel wakes up but she was confused, but she was overcoming with thoughts, a mess in her words, couldn’t understand what’s happening. White Diamond touch Spinel head, maybe this way she can reorganize her thoughts and try to understand what happened to her moments before.

Later, Spinel just notices that she is surrounded by The Diamond and quickly as she can jump over her feet to greet them.

“Spinel, we are glad to see you again” Said the Diamonds

“What?” Spinel was confused “What happened to me?”

“Steven told us that you let yourself be carried by your emotions and tries to hurt him.” Answer White Diamond.

“What? Wait, I can’t be so crazy to try it…” She started laughing.

“Spinel can you remember what happened moments before?” Asked Steven

“Oh don’t worry we understand, staying alone can make you carry all thoughts in your mind that you can let it go.”

“Yellow! You are not helping” Interrupt Blue to Yellow

“Sorry Blue… look Spinel, we were worried about you, about your messy behavior.”

Spinel looks that she couldn’t understand what is happening, is like she have forgot all what happened before she was shattered.

“Spinel we were talking about your…”

“Oh yeah! I remember we were talking about me.” She interrupts

“Yes, on how was your relationship with Pink Diamond”

“You know, maybe we shouldn´t talk about it. I think it may cause any trouble if you’re saying that I have gone out of control.”

The Diamonds looks at her with a suspicious face. Spinel clearly knows what happens, she go out of control, she sees her as a darker form, an evil form, when she interacts with her reflection she was blind, through her body she have feel all the weight of being abandoned, and clearly all the revengeful thoughts take control of her. She is not prepared for violence, she is made to be kind cute, joyful and silly.

“Spinel! Spinel!” Yellow Diamond was trying to draw her attention.

Spinel replies her but she is not sure to continue talking about her problems. To avoid the conversation she pretends being dizzy, showing that she needs some space to think. The Diamonds don’t judge her, they understand the situation, considering that is an unique gem, all of it has been a mess and continuing talking about it is going to make the situation worst as it could be.

Spinel was at a room far away from The Diamonds while this were searching for another planet to visit. She was just thinking about the situation avoiding all kind of thoughts that makes her going out of control.

Moments later, the communication system was warning that a spacecraft traveling across Yellow’s Diamond colony region wants a meeting. The Diamonds and Steven think about it, if it should be important or not, but as always Steven convinced them to let them join, something could be wrong or can be a warning of any outer space circumstance. Without thinking twice, The Diamonds gave permission to the other ship. At the other part they’ve seen two gems that they have met before.

“Captain Lemonade and Billie reporting to The Diamonds”

Yellow Diamond starts to laugh; she can’t resist how cute those new names for both gems were.

At the other side of the screen was Lemonade, a Peridot with technological tips and Billie is a middle height Bismuth. Lemonade has her at her back with a size of an oval. Her companion Billie was strong and a very talented armorer who have specialized in her skills with different cultures. Her gem was at the right arm with the size of a pentagon. It was a dynamic duo that has traveled all around Blue Diamonds independent colonies.

“My Diamonds we should report that we have an inconvenient that could affect life in the Universe.” Announce Lemonade.

“What’s the matter right now?” Ask White Diamond

“Our spacecraft was traveling around Uniwan, this Solar System consist of two stars, both at the same size and 6 planets orbiting it. The problem is that when we were preparing the ship for light speed both stars as a coincidence gave off huge solar flares. We were a little bit near to the stars that we couldn’t have enough time to scape. The big stuff is that so much radiation energy hit the spacecraft and if you remember we were preparing the ship for light speed, this cause that such much energy stored in the ship makes it to overcharge and suddenly big sharps of radiation were fired over random directions.”

“That’s a big problem you both cause, but tell us what will happen to those sharps.” Ask Yellow Diamond.

 They couldn´t see but Spinel was close to the cabin to understand what is the matter happening at the meeting.

 “We predict that if a sharp may collapse with any satellite it would cut it entirely and if this happens, this interaction would emanate the same amount of energy in form of radiation waves to every direction.”

“And you have identified if any planet, system or organism has been affected?” Steven asks concerned.

“We have receive various signs that have the same amount of intensity, almost it were very strong that only the interaction of the sharp could make it. The near ones have been in Blue Diamond’s region but had only been two moons and one unoccupied death planet and far away to Yellow Diamond’s region only two comets and a single planet. The matter is that we have studied the behavior of the material and the results are incredible.”

“This is taking too long” Said Yellow annoyed

“Sorry my Diamond I’m almost finishing, so much amount of energy could divide a satellite but almost can repair it, what I want to say is that can reconstruct the satellite, we have go over the first masses and we have seen the same moon twice, the same planet twice, this could be an amazing discovery but we have a doubt.”

“Say it” Told Yellow Diamond losing interest.

“In one of Yellow Diamond’s region near to the border limits with Blue we search a planet that had been inhabited, when we go through the analysis we found out a different case that the other satellites. One planet looks nice, with a badly vegetation and the other one looks very different like if it was destroyed recently by an organism… we have evidence.”

 Spinel was upset, that was it, the evidence shown The Garden, that’s what really happened to her and now all make sense. She realizes that this sharp of energy cut her with the planet. That was the reason she was damaged and then restored by a thing she doesn’t know about. She was crying, another time a big huge of ideas came to her. What would happen if it doesn’t search her? Will she play the game for the entirely of her life? What if the Diamonds suspect anything from her? She was being lazy to herself in overthinking, she sees the entirely universe at the window waiting for an answer but she didn’t realize that the answer will come.

“Who are you?” Spinel heard from everywhere a little voice. “I’ve seen you since I restored up”

“Who is there? Please reveal yourself.” Spinel yelled everywhere.

“You don’t see me little doll? I’m in front of you.”

Spinel was upset, she knows were the voices came; it was in her head, again. Somehow the light of the ship makes her to see barely her reflection on the window.

“No… not again” Spinel said.

“What’s the matter, you look different to me, like a memory.” Said her reflection.

“No! Go away. The last time I interact with you everything goes wrong.”

“What do you mean, how does you exist if you are only a reflection or a thought?”

“No! You are the thought; you are all the negative ideas about what happens to me. I try to search a new life with The Diamonds and Steven Universe but I can’t but you” Spinel was being disturbed.

“How are you… are you with that Steven Universe?” Ask the reflection.

“Yes and you are not going to hurt them, not again.”

“Oh hohoho, I would do whatever I can to kill him”

“Shut up!”

“But wait, I’ve change, I’m trying to enjoy a new life right now.”

“What!?!? How do you deal with all what Pink Diamond do to me? She was so stupid to leave me alone.” Spinel was growling

“Hey hey hey, calm down”

“No! You are not going to give me instructions, you’re going to make this worst, and you are not going to control me right now.” Spinel was preparing a huge fist behind her.

“Hey please calm down; you’re going to hurt yourself”

“Ha… the only who has hurt me was you and your dumb existence.”

Spinel have scream that last words and with a big fist hit hardly the window followed by another blow destroys up the window causing that a big wind current will try to pull it out of the ship. Spinel with tears in her eyes couldn’t imagine, it happens again, she goes out of control but this time has gone worst. Without any light of hope she left the wind to get her off that place and face her destiny.

 Yellow Diamond recognizes the picture of the planet that Peridot shows them.

“That’s the garden, a little planet we gave Pink Diamond with…”

“Spinel” Blue completed.

“Wait just a moment” interrupt Steven “Spinel told me that the reason she moves on was because something hits her very hard that she puff.”

“If Spinel was being stand still for almost 6000 years, and suddenly this events happens at the same time… should it be”

White understood what’s going on.

At the other side of the screen Lemonade and Billie don’t have any idea of what they are talking about.

“We must talk to Spinel, she need to know this.” Said Steven with a high tone

“Yes but what if…”

A loud scream from the other side of the ship interrupts Blue and followed by this, a short-circuit close up the communication with the other gems and turn off the light. Steven runs faster to the origin of the noise with the Diamonds behind him to found out that a huge hole has been produced. Steven being pulled out produces a big bubble to close it.

The warning alarm was ringing loudly, Steven don’t want to think on it, but maybe Spinel goes out of control again, but this time by her own. Believing in the worst case Spinel may be pulled out of the ship to the outer space.
