Bf Yuuta Okkotsu headcanons

He definitely is the perfect boyfriend.

Calls you with the sweetest pet name and softest tone: honey, babe, darling, my love, angel….

Whenever he sees you, his eyes always sparkle, full of love and affection.

Likes peppering kisses on your forehead, cheeks, nose, knuckles, neck….on every part of your body.

He’s a clingy person, always find a way to be close to you

If you’re in public, he’ll hold your hand, intertwine his fingers with yours and squeeze them tightly

And if he sees someone looking at you, he’ll hug you by grabbing your waist, pulling you closer and staring at that person with dead eyes.

Talking about dead eyes, the dark circles under his eyes just become bigger and bigger as time passes, in spite of all your efforts to make them disappear. But they’re endearing, aren’t they ? 

Anyway back to the clingy part, he finds it better to sleep when he has you on top of him, or when he can spoon you all night. And he somehow can always find a way to kiss your forehead or your cheeks a million times during the night.

He loves cuddling and hugging, really really love. If you’re watching a movie or scrolling your phone thoughtlessly? Sit on his lap so he can hold you tight. If you’re cooking in the kitchen? He will hug you from behind, resting his head on your shoulder and murmur “I love you”. If he or you just come home and are very exhausted? Cuddling will be the best remedy.

The way he holds you is so firm yet so gentle, like you’re the most fragile thing and will break apart if he adds more strength. And he will rub your back back and forth unconsciously, or draw small circles on it, or maybe caress your hair and play with it.

He loves lying on your lap, or on top of you too. He just so obsessed with how soft and warm your body is, and when you play with his hair, massage his scalp, it will lull him to sleep and get the best dream about you and him.

He’ll buy you gifts for no reason, just because he wants you to feel happier and have a better day (every day with him is the best day )

He prefers to take dates in some places like the cafe you both like, the peaceful and quiet movie theater or the aquarium, everywhere that brings comfortable and cozy vibes rather than noisy and hectic places (but if you want to go he’ll go without complain, he just likes to spend time with you, no matter the places)

Oh this boy has the warmest smile ( I love the way he smiles in movie 0, my heart melts every time I watch that scene), and his beaming face will never fail to light up your day, you always find yourself mirroring his emotion whenever he’s grinning at you.

He’ll never raise his voice to you, NEVER. If you two are in an argument, and if anger is going to take the best of you, he’ll hold your hand strongly, tell him to look directly at his eyes. That time you realize just how much affectionate in his gaze every time he puts his eyes on you, then you can be calmer and find a way to resolve the useless strife.

He tells you that he loves you every day, billions of times per day.

When he wakes up in the morning and finds you’re sleeping peacefully in his embrace, the three words “I love you” will slip out of his tongue as naturally as he breathes. At midnight, in his dream, he also quietly murmurs those three words while burying his head in the crook of your neck or bathing in the warmth of your chest, hearing your gentle heartbeat.

OMG I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCHHHHH OH MY BABY BOY :"((((. I WRITE THIS TO INDULGE MY DAYDREAMS. UGHH I NEED HIM SO BAD

English isn't my first language, so please be nice with all the grammar mistakes and odd vocabulary. You can point out my errors and I will fix them as soon as possible

Love language- Criminal Minds.

Summary: After a rough week, the family comes over for dinner.

Warnings: Mentions of a bad case, little angsty.

Pairing: David Rossi x fem!reader.

Word count: 1,099.

Translation: Ciao bella- Hi beautiful. Amore mio- My love. Mia famiglia- My family. Bella- Beautiful. Amore- Love.

"Ciao Bella," My head shot up to meet my husband's eyes as he all but crawled into our home. "How was your day?" The small talk didn't fool me, I knew it had been a rough week from the messages he has sent me.

"Better than yours I imagine, Amore Mio." I teased, taking his jacket from his hand and throwing it onto the sofa. "How did the case go?"

"Hmm, we managed to get him but not before he killed two more people." That explained why he seemed so defeated.

"Oh Dave," I pulled him closer to me. "You couldn't have stopped it from happening. You all did your best."

"I know, I know." He sighed heavily, holding me to his chest as he pressed a kiss to my head. "I invited the team over for dinner, figured they needed a pick me up after this week.

"That's sweet of you," I was more than happy to have his team over, they were family after all. "What do we need to get ready then?" I indulged in his plan. His love language was cooking for people. A good meal after a gruelling case was his remedy for everything and if he could help his team feel better by feeding them then he would happily do it.

I watched as he fixed up all his ingredients, a glass of scotch on the worktop for a relaxant whilst he waited for the team to arrive. We always loved having them around, the team were David's family and thus my family too, I loved them all just like he did.

Everyone began to arrive at around half past 6 once they had been home and cleaned up, leaving the kids with sitters for one more evening. Spencer arrived first, a tired smile on his face as I opened the door, pulling him into a hug without hesitation. For someone who didn't do physical contact, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he melted into my arms a little.

JJ and Emily turned up together, smiles entirely contradicting the dark circles under their eyes as they engaged in a general conversation and said hello to the others. Aaron had his usual stern, tired face on but smiled slightly when I let him in, taking his coat and hugging him.

"Just Derek and Penelope to arrive," Aaron handed me a glass of wine as we all sat in the living room. "How has Dave been since he got back?" His voice lowered as my eyes flickered to my husband.

"He's been okay, exhausted like the rest of you but," I paused, sighing a little. "I think it just gets to him when he feels like he hasn't done enough to save someone. I try to explain that you all do your best but some things just happen that we can't help, unfortunately." I bit my cheek as I placed my hand on his shoulder gently. "You all do an amazing but formidable job, I think sometimes you just struggle to see the good outweighs the bad." There was no denying my love language was physical touch, a good hug could fix a world of problems in my opinion.

"I think we do,' He muttered, face changing to a slight smile as he looked down at me. "You always know what to say Y/N." I chuckled and nodded seriously, it was my job to do what I could to help. Even if it was just words to some.

A knock on the door dragged us out of our thoughts and I pulled myself out o my seat. A very smiley Penelope bounced on the balls of her feet as the door swung open and I managed to squeeze out a hello before she practically threw her arms around me.

"Ohh it's been too long, you look amazing Y/N!" I laughed at her energy, as infectious as always.

"Thank you, Penelope, you look beautiful, new dress?" Her eyes sparkled behind her glasses as she twirled a little for me. "Hello Derek, you scrub up well." I motioned to the shirt he was wearing as he kissed my cheek.

"You know I have to keep the ladies entranced somehow." I rolled my eyes at him playfully and closed the door behind the pair before grabbing them their own drink. Conversation flowed easily in the living room as I popped in and out with David, getting lost in jokes and normal life, watching the tension ease from each person as they felt comfortable and relaxed.

"Come on Mia Famiglia, time to eat." David clapped his hands together, calling them for dinner as I finished setting the dining table. A sea of smiling faces walked through and took a seat and as we all settled down I couldn't help the full, joyful feeling in my chest.

The meal was spent laughing and joking with each other. A conversation about their work never came up, they needed a break from it, to say the least, but we filled the time with memories and general topics like the children and how I may or may not have gone on a shopping spree for Henry and Jack (again).

By the end of the night, the team were much more relaxed, a few were even slightly tipsy but overall much better than when they arrived.

As designated drivers, and parents, Aaron and JJ agreed to make sure everyone got home in one piece so we wrapped up the night with more hugs and warm goodbyes.

"Bella," David smiled at me through my dressing table mirror as I removed my jewellery. "Thank you so much for tonight." His hand wrapped over my shoulders as he kissed my head.

"Amore, you invited them, that was all you."

"But you make them comfortable and happy, they relax around you because they love you. It's not easy to get a room of FBI agents to stop being on edge all the time but you manage it so easily. Even Reid comes to you for a hug now, that's a huge achievement you know."

"They're my family too," I turned to face him, "I know it gets too much for all of you and I just want to make sure you can all let go every once in a while." I cupped his cheek as I stood up, "Even you have to relax David, don't hold a grudge against yourself." I cradled his head as our foreheads rested against each other.

"Thank you Y/N," he whispered, eyes closed as he relaxed into the moment.

"Anytime Amore, Anytime."

< park seonghwa x any! reader >

warnings: very sad angst, suic!de

you didn’t think joining the special forces would have any consequences. after all, there’s never been a mission that was this important that they had to call you in. you lived your days in happiness with seonghwa, nothing could go wrong…

You and Seonghwa were laying in bed when you got the call. You were playing with his hair as he laid on your chest, something you��ve done since you dated, and something you’ve continued to do after you got married. It made you happy to provide comfort for him, and he knew that. It was past midnight, but that was okay. You and your husband were late sleepers, so you answered it without a problem. At least, it wasn’t a problem until you found out you were being sent on an assignment all the way across the world, in some desert. You look over at Seonghwa, who was already sitting up in concern.

“I have to go, my dear.” You tell him after the call was ended, and he nodded. “I know, star. I’ll be here waiting for you to get back.” He kissed your forehead, letting the kiss linger. Neither of you knew how long you’d be gone this time, it was your first assignment since you got married. In previous times, you’ve been gone for months on end.

He helped you pack your bag, and even ate a snack with you before the blacked out truck pulled into your driveway. With one last kiss, and one last ‘I love you’, you left out the door, and he stood on the porch, watching the car disappear into the nighttime darkness. When he went inside, the house felt strangely empty and cold.

That was a month ago. And the mission couldn’t have gone more wrong. You’ve had minimal contact with anyone, per agency rules. You had no idea what was going on back home, especially with the love of your life. You were held hostage, chained in a dark basement with no windows. You had no concept of time, your captors leaving in even shifts so you never knew whether it was day or not. No matter how much they tortured you, you never gave up. Your will was strong, keeping hope that someone, anyone would come save you.

Today, whatever day or time it might’ve been, felt different. You felt this strange feeling in your stomach, as if the world as you knew it was ending. And that’s when you saw two men come into your cell, one of them carrying an assault rifle. “It’s time for you to die, girl.” He spoke, his voice gruff. Your stomach dropped and your heart began racing, this wasn’t how it was supposed to go. You had so much you wanted to do.

And yet, you showed no fear. You lifted your head, and with the last amount of energy you had in your body, you mustered the strength to spit at his feet. 𝘖𝘩, 𝘚𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘩𝘸𝘢, 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. Those were your last thoughts as you heard the shot rang out, and then, nothing.

Meanwhile, back at home, Seonghwa continued to live. He had confidence in you, he had 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩 that you were coming home to him soon. So, he didn’t worry too much, and he kept the house organized like normal. And everyday for three months, he repeated the cycle. His days blended together, but the longer you were gone, the more worried he became. He contacted your agency, asking for a time that they expected you home. They gave him no answer, keeping the conversation brief.

The fourth month, he stopped sleeping. He couldn’t sleep comfortably without you by his side any longer. This was your longest mission that he remembered, and he wasn’t used to not having you home for this long. He tried many different sleep remedies, from melatonin and herbal tea to self induced hypnosis. None of the methods worked better than you. He had dark circles under his eyes, his hair had grown into a long mullet that rested against his neck. His coworkers became concerned, but they knew what you did for work and didn’t question him on it.

The fifth month, his appetite disappeared completely. He couldn’t eat without you, he couldn’t complete a meal without you. Every time he looked in the mirror, he got skinnier and skinnier. His skin paled, and after a while, he stopped checking. He shattered the mirrors in the home, hating how he looked. He wondered how you’d react if he found out he wasn’t taking care of himself. He felt ashamed of his appearance, how empty he became without you. He wanted you to come home soon, but he didn’t rush you. He knew how sensitive your work was, and he believed you’d come home soon.

Before the fifth month ended, black cars pulled into his driveway. He ran to the door, thinking you’d come home finally. After 𝘢𝘭𝘭 this time, you were finally home, you came home to him. But once he saw all the special agents get out, and he didn’t see you, he thought the worst. He saw the videos, you explained what happened when agents came to your home without you.

They sat him down in the living room, explained how greatly you performed. How you were such an asset to the agency, and how you were the best. How lucky the country was to have such a talented agent protecting them. But, the words fell on deaf ears. He felt like he was drowning, his chest was tight and there was a ringing in his ears.

“Agent Park Y/N is dead. I’m so sorry.” An agent spoke, and he felt sick. “Our agency is willing to cover the cost of anything you may need, and we have arranged the funds to plan their funeral, whenever you’re ready.” They continued, but he shook his head. “Get out. Get the hell out!” He screamed, standing up and throwing the side table down, shattering the glass.

The agents nodded and filed out of the home. Seonghwa went on a rampage, throwing everything in his reach. The vases you picked together were thrown against the wall, framed pictures of you both with friends and family were destroyed. Tears streamed down his face as he sobbed, blending in with the mess around him.

After a while, his tears slowed, and he managed to pull himself up to go to your bedroom. He opened the closet and pulled out a box. You had prepared him for this moment, although you both hoped and prayed it would never come. Inside the box were a few of your mementos, as well as a letter. You left a kiss on the outside with his favorite fragrance, it was a pinkish nude colored bottle and it smelled rice milk, peaches, and clean soap. The same one you wore to your first date, and on your wedding day, and he loved it. He bought bottles every time you ran out.

He opened the letter, and out fell pictures you captured. Some without his knowledge. A picture of your first Valentine’s Day together, a picture of him you captured while he read, which he didn’t know you took. So many pictures of each other on your wedding day, all in selfie form. And finally, a more recent picture from your five year anniversary, one you guys had taken by a random stranger in Bali. More tears fell from his sunken eyes, but he pulled himself together to read the contents of the letter.

He finished the letter, running his fingers delicately over the dried out tear drops you left. His began dripping onto the paper, and he hugged it against his chest tightly, letting out loud cries as he finally realized it was happening.

He staggered to the kitchen, clutching your letter tightly in his fist. He dug through the cabinets, looking for something. He had this planned for a while, ever since he found out you could be killed in your line of work. He couldn’t accept that you were gone.

He opened the jug of cyanide and began chugging. It was disgusting, and his body immediately tried to reject it. He choked on it, but kept his hand over his mouth. Minutes passed and the onset of symptoms began. The dizziness, the vomiting, full of his blood, the shortness of breath. Then, he finally fell against the floor. With what little consciousness he had, he held the letter to his nose and inhaled. The scent of you brought him a bit of comfort as he passed out. And eventually, death overcame him too.

It was dark, he was surrounded by darkness. He wasn’t used to it, he couldn’t see anything in front of him. Was this the afterlife? Was he really dead?

“What are you doing here?” He heard your voice, and he turned until he found your frame, illuminating a white light. You were wearing a similar outfit that you went on a date in. A sweater, some jeans, and white socks. He ran over and engulfed you in a hug. “Oh star, I couldn’t be without you.” He cried into your shoulder, and you were stunned. You slowly lifted your arms to hug him, you couldn’t believe he was there.

You clenched the fabric of his top tightly, pulling him in close. “But if you’re here, that means that…Oh, my love.” You realize the lengths he had gone through to be with you again, and it bought tears to your eyes. You were both still, embracing each other, never thinking you’d see each other again so soon.

“I missed you.” He whispered, and you nod. “I missed you most. Are you ready?” You asked him, and he took your hand, and you both disappeared into the light.

Wraiths of the Past

Ghost x GN!Reader callsign Wraith

cw: character death (not Ghost), angst, the supernatural

summary: A Wraith visits Ghost when he cannot find solace after a botched mission.

1.1k // M // masterlist

notes: Reader is referred to by they/them; Reader is referenced to have a small stature; it's platonic I guess?, Reader is dead the whole time, they're just a ghostie themselves

a/n: this is the second version of the story. Ghost got scared in the first draft, I had to redo it.

Ghost didn't leave home base.

As soon as the plane touched down, a heavy feeling settled in his stomach. The day went by and the feeling didn't ease, no. It became something tight, a heavy knot he carried around for days more, weighing down on him like a parasite attached to his very soul.

Finally, days later, he dragged himself down to the empty gym at two in the morning, when sleep escaped him for the third time that night.

One sore spot, he couldn't quite remedy with a few warmups.

On the last mission, he fell particularly hard as a glass roof collapsed under him and another few soldiers in a grenade blast. Among those soldiers was Wraith.

Wraith.

Wraith, who had become his - dare he say - acquaintance during the time they were a part of his smaller circle. They never made it to the 141, but they were an honourary member.

And now they lay in an induced coma somewhere not even in the country; too weak to be transported from the base they had to rush them after the fall, and the eventual failure of the mission.

Wraith… They were a presence. Their voice never became agitated, worked up, or even; happy. They were but a shade, lurking in unknown corners of the base, always seemingly hiding something Ghost couldn't quite make sense of. A soul akin to his, it felt like for him.

When he approached Wraith alone for the first time, he noticed they carried a strange air of unease. He never dared to talk to them alone again about anything other than lighthearted topics or professional matters, not for his but for their peace of mind. They almost seemed fragile off the battlefield, as if a gust of wind could knock them over.

But when it came to action, Wraith never missed. Deathly precision and the faint sound of the reaper lurking followed him around. A silent executioner, who could rarely spare a few words for fellow operators; but when they did, it hit the spot.

"Great hit."

"Flawless."

And the most curious remark Ghost had ever gotten from them:

"The Wraith approves."

Not bothering to turn on any lights, he maneuvered skillfully through the large room to the barbell rack.

Familiar warmth spread in his body as he rolled his neck once more, and settled for weighed squats. A strange sense of sudden emptiness hollowed his insides and even robbed him of that tight knot deep in his gut. Still, he pressed on and finished the set.

"Careless." A murky voice called from somewhere as he lowered himself to start the second set after a short rest.

Quickly, he picked his head up and trailed the voice to the half-open door of the gym.

Wraith was standing in the door, form leaning against the frame.

"You're back on your feet?" He asked somewhat confused, not being able to notice any crutches, bandages, or casts on the fragile body that was Wraith's. But he found no telling sign of a blinding white piece of bandage of the otherwise dark and shrouded figure.

"You are too." They dodged the question. "It's the dead of night, Ghost. Why aren't you in bed?"

He rolled his eyes and pressed on with the set, thighs lightly trembling under the navy sweats.

"Listen…" Wraith remained in the inky shadows, body seemingly phasing in and out of existence, as the shadows played tricks with Ghost's eyes. "There's something about the mission I need you to know."

Ghost picked his head up, and tried focusing on Wraith's figure while finishing the set.

"The mission is a bust. Haven't you read the briefs?" He scoffed and put the barbell back on a rack.

"It's not a bust." Their head swayed lightly, reflecting moonlight sparkling at Ghost as he looked for Wraith's gaze. "The intel is still there. I saw it. The whole server…"

"Why didn't you grab it then?" He fixed his gaze on the shadowy form that was Wraith's body and tilted his head in question. "If it's so easy. Besides, they could have moved it… It's not rocket science, that we were after the server, Wraith."

"You have to believe me, it's still there." Wraith's voice was insistent and emotional, something Ghost couldn't remember hearing before from them.

"Wraith…" He sat down on the dark leather cushion of the bench press. Thoughts swirled around in his head, and disbelief was getting the better of him.

"Yes, Ghost?"

"Is this a hallucination?" Ghost looked Wraith in the eye, as much as he could, finding the dark speckles around them disconcerting.

Silence.

"No," Wraith responded. "but I do need you to know something."

"Entertain me." He responded flatly.

"Price is going to call you in the morning, when he gets the news."

"News?"

"Go back for the server, Ghost, it's still there. They think we destroyed it. They're making a new one, with new code, new everything. You won't be able to crack that for a long time. Take this one. Please."

Wraith's voice almost pleaded. They remained in the doorway, body hiding in the thick shadow of the hallway.

"Wraith, I can't go off on your word. Tell it to Price yourself, see if he believes you."

Wraith chuckled, a sound with which Ghost was unfamiliar with yet again.

"But you do believe me, don't you?"

"Wraith…"

"Tell me."

"I want to."

"See?" They tutted with an audible smirk, which Ghost couldn't see from his vantage point.

Steps echoed outside, in the hallway, and Ghost registered Wraith's head turn in the direction of the footsteps, before they vanished from the doorway into the darkness.

Ghost recognized the footsteps as Price's, and looked up at him when he peeked in the room. His eyes were puffy from sleeping, hair toussled, and he only had a shirt and loose sweats on.

"It's the witchin' hour, boss."

"Wraith's dead." Price replied in a flat tone, and pushed in the door.

"What?" Ghost stood up. He and Price stood for a moment in silence in the large room.

"But we got some shaky intel that the server wasn't moved. At least nobody's spotted it outside the compound."

"It's still there." Ghost replied in an instant, staring at the floor.

"M-what?" Price asked, arms crossed, also focused on a spot on the vinyl.

"It's in there. They haven't moved it, I don't think." He added the last part of the sentence a second after. "When did the base call?"

"'bout Wraith?"

Ghost nodded and hummed.

"Few minutes ago. Mustn't have happened longer than thirty minutes. They said the trauma was just too much and too severe."

"I want to get back, first thing in the morning, Price." Ghost looked up at his Captain, eyes almost pleading behind his mask.

"If you're sure."

"Haven't been more sure about anything in a long time, boss."

Price put his hand on Ghost's shoulder as he walked past the Captain. "I like your thinking. The Wraith would approve."

"They did." He muttered from the doorway and disappeared into the pitch-blackness of the empty corridor.

Whumpuary 2024 Day 6

6. (Jan 11-12) Exhaustion / Blindfolded / Old Injuries

Barry Bluejeans was a strong man. Well, maybe not physically, but mentally he was strong. He could calculate the rate of necrotic damage at any skill level of a warlock. He could measure the precise amount of hair that he could grow on his chin in three days. He knew he was smart and therefore strong. 

On the other hand, emotionally? He wasn’t very strong in that area. 

For a man so strong in logic, he couldn’t understand how emotions continued to break him down. He knew, logically, that the night terrors weren’t real. He knew they just weren’t feasible any longer. There’s no Hunger, no threat to their plane of existence. No grand relics and no war. Nevertheless, he found himself waking up from night terrors long after everything started to settle down. The first two nights were fairly easy to keep under wraps. Barry had suffered from them before, but it had been months since his last one. Lup shook him awake on the third night after she found Barry crying out for her in their bed. 

After that night, he was determined to try and stop the nightmares from happening. Barry turned to his strength - his books - and started studying. He dove into logical explanations and jotted down notes about night terrors. He started coming up with a plan to build another body tank, just in case they needed it. He also read up on potions and home remedies for night terrors. Anything he felt the need to study, he'd drag out the chore into hours of reading and notes.

To further keep from falling asleep, he hung out with the twins and Kravitz who never needed to sleep. Taako and Lup were Twosun elves, which means they did sleep occasionally, they just didn't need it as often as humans. Lup used to be a lich and didn't need sleep, but since she gained her body back Barry found her catching up on that sleep a lot. Mostly with Taako at her side, the other times with himself. Kravitz was, of course, the Grimm Reaper. Not needing sleep is pretty much given to him. So Barry ended up spending nights at a time just chatting with the three of them in their shared living room.

One night of studying night terrors turned to two, turned to three. 

On the fourth night, Lup walks in on Barry barely keeping it together in the lab. 

“Babe, how long has it been since you’ve slept?” Lup asks as she moseys over to her husband at his desk. 

“Mm…” Barry mutters as he stares into a microscope at his latest project. Lup leans over his shoulder and reads some unintelligible scribble on one of the microscope slides. She can’t tell what he’s studying, but he’s definitely staring intently at something. 

“What are you looking at, Bluejeans?” Lup muses as she pokes his cheek.

He rouses and backs up to look at his wife. “M’spit” he mumbles and rubs at his eyes.

“Bear, why the fuck are you studying your spit?” 

“There’s somethin’ in it…” Barry removes his hands to reveal his eyes have deep dark circles under them. 

Lup grimaces slightly at the state of her husband and sighs. “Pack it up there, Bear. Time for bed.” 

“No, I’m studying, I promise I'm fine. I’m just not done yet.” Barry sounds like a small child insisting he can stay up late. Lup reaches out to take Barry’s glasses gently off of his face, earning a protest from the man. She knows he can't do shit without them. “Lup, please. I’m not done.” 

“And I’m not kidding, Barry. You’re exhausted, look at yourself.” 

“Lup, I’m not tired!” Barry shouts, glaring up at the elf. His angry expression falls instantaneously when he sees Lup is taken aback by his outburst. “I-I’m sorry, I just… I…” 

Lup gently folds Barry’s glasses and sets them on the desk. “I’m going to pretend you didn’t just hurt my feelings… I need you to be honest with me, babe. When’s the last time you slept?” She crosses her arms and leans against the desk, staring down at Barry.

Likewise, Barry stares up at her, a nervous energy vibrating through him. Should he be honest? Could he even lie about it at this point? Lup looks pretty when she’s mad… 

“Four…” is all Barry can make out before he breaks the eye contact and rubs his face again. 

“Four what? Hours?” 

“Days…” 

There’s an uncomfortable silence in the room as Barry’s hands don’t leave his face. Lup wants to yell. Scream at Barry for doing this to himself. Yeah, they were reapers, but he was still a human in a squishy, human, sleep-deprived body that needed sleep. Lup wants to yell, but instead, she sits for a moment and then lets out the most controlled sigh before standing up straight. 

“C’mon, Bear.” Lup takes his hands and moves them from his face. 

Barry sniffles and obliges, trying his damndest to not look Lup in the eye. He stands when Lup tugs at his arms to pull him up. She doesn’t let go as she leads Barry away from the lab, away from the basement, away from the living room. When they reach the bedroom, Barry starts to weep openly and it breaks Lup’s heart. 

“Talk to me, babe. What’s going on?” Lup pulls Barry into her arms, gentle hands rubbing his back. 

“I can’t do it, Lup… I don’t wanna sleep. It hurts too much.” 

“Hurts?” Lup questions, a hand gently raking through Barry’s thick brown hair. 

“The nightmares… They keep– keep taking you from me.” His side of the hug turns to trembling as he uses all his depleted strength to hug Lup. “I don’t wanna lose you again.” 

Lup holds her husband in her arms as tears prick at the edges of her vision. She knows what she did to him hurt Barry. She knows this is her fault, that he’s going through unimaginable trauma. Lup pulls away from the hug and leads Barry to bed, sitting him down on the edge. She looks him in the eye, a serious look on her face.

“I’m not going anywhere, Barry Bluejeans… I love you, and I’m not leaving you, never again. I swear.”

Barry nods and rubs at the tears across his cheeks. “That’s just it, I-I know you’re not gonna go anywhere. My subconscious is just having��� having a hard time catching up.” 

Lup smiles softly and kneels down, taking off Barry’s shoes and socks. “Then we’ll teach it. You love learning, babe. You can learn to tell your brain to shut up. You’re strong like that.” 

Barry sniffles and smiles slightly at that statement. He doesn’t feel like he can be strong like that right now, but Lup’s words are encouraging. 

“Tonight though,” Lup states as she helps Barry into the covers. “Tonight, you are allowed to be weak. I’ll be here to be strong for you.” Lup climbs into bed with Barry and tucks herself beside him. “I’ll be here, Barry… I’m right here.”

Home Remedies for Reducing Puffy Eyes from Allergies

One of the most popular and annoying symptoms of allergies is puffy eyes, which can negatively impact both our appearance and health.

Allergens like dust, pollen, or pet dander can cause an immunological reaction those results in these swollen, itchy, and painful eyes.

The good news is that there are other ways to deal with this issue besides taking medicine.

Let's analyze efficient at-home treatments for allergy-related swollen eyes as well as preventative measures to maintain the health and vibrancy of your eyes.

Home Remedies for Reducing Puffy Eyes from Allergies

Identifying the Symptoms of Puffy Eyes Due to Allergies

Effective management of allergy-induced swollen eyes begins with recognizing its signs.

Other symptoms of allergy-related puffy eyes include redness, itching, watery eyes, and occasionally dark circles under the eyes.

In comparison to puffiness brought on by exhaustion or dehydration, allergy-related symptoms can strike out of nowhere, particularly during seasons with high allergens or following exposure to particular triggers.

Allergens are probably at blame if you wake up with puffy eyelids or find yourself massaging your eyes a lot.

Quick Fixes for Immediate Relief

There are times when you need a fast fix to lessen discomfort and puffiness.

These easy fixes might provide immediate comfort.

1. Cold Compress:

Use cold spoons over your closed eyelids or wrap a fresh cloth around a few ice cubes. By narrowing blood arteries, the cold helps in reducing edema.

2. Over-the-Counter Eye Drops:

Anti-allergy eye drops can reduce inflammation and help wash away allergens. For sensitive eyes, look for products without preservatives.

3. Hydrate:

Being dehydrated can make puffiness worse. In order to help your body eliminate toxins and lessen fluid retention, drink lots of water throughout the day.

Simple Home Remedies to Soothe Puffy Eyes

Many mild yet efficient remedies for swollen eyes brought on by allergies can be found in nature.

1. Cucumber Slices:

Cucumber slices, which are well-known for their cooling and moisturizing qualities, might lessen edema.

Just cover your eyes with cold slices for ten to fifteen minutes.

2. Tea Bags:

Because of their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities, green tea or chamomile tea bags can be quite effective.

Once steeped, place the bags on your eyelids and allow them to cool in the fridge.

3. Aloe Vera Gel:

Aloe vera is perfect for relieving inflamed skin because it is cooling and relaxing.

Be cautious not to get any pure aloe vera gel in your eyes; instead, apply a thin coating around them.

4. Coconut Oil Massage:

Using a few drops of coconut oil to massage the region around your eyes will increase blood flow, decrease puffiness, and hydrate the area.

Frequent exercise helps your body get rid of extra fluid and increases circulation. Add enough sleep to this to help your body heal and rebuild.

Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough quality tears to lubricate them properly. Tears play a crucial role in maintaining healthy eyes by keeping the surface moist and clear. Without proper tear production, you can experience chronic eye discomfort.

Dry eye syndrome is classified under the ICD-10 code H04.12 for medical documentation and diagnosis.

Dry Eye Symptoms

Recognizing the symptoms of dry eye is the first step to addressing the condition. Common dry eye symptoms include:

Redness or irritation

Stinging or burning sensation

Feeling like there’s something in your eye

Blurry vision

Sensitivity to light

Watery eyes (as a response to dryness)

Causes of Dry Eyes

Several factors can contribute to dry eyes, including:

Age: Tear production declines with age.

Environmental conditions: Wind, smoke, and dry climates can cause tears to evaporate.

Prolonged screen use: Staring at screens for long periods reduces blinking, leading to eye dryness.

Medications: Certain medications, including antibiotics, can cause dry eyes.

Can antibiotics cause dry eyes? Yes, antibiotics like antihistamines and decongestants may reduce tear production, leading to dry eyes.

Best Eye Drops for Dry Eyes

One of the most effective treatments for dry eyes is the use of eye drops for dry eyes. There are several types of eye drops available:

Artificial eye drops for dry eyes: These mimic natural tears and provide immediate relief. They’re ideal for mild cases.

Best dry eye drops in India: Brands like Refresh Tears and Systane Ultra are popular options for individuals seeking relief in India.

Best eye drops for dry eyes: Depending on your condition, you may need preservative-free or lubricating eye drops recommended by a doctor.

If you wear contact lenses, it’s important to choose the best treatment for dry eyes with contacts that won’t interfere with your lenses. Specialized rewetting drops can help keep your eyes comfortable throughout the day.

Causes of Dry Eye Disease Explained by Dr. Hayat Khan — Consultant Ophthalmologist at Fakeeh University Hospital Dubai

How to Cure Dry Eyes Permanently?

While permanent cures for dry eyes may not be possible in all cases, lifestyle changes and medical treatments can significantly improve the condition. Here are some tips:

Use a humidifier: Adding moisture to the air can prevent your tears from evaporating too quickly.

Take breaks from screen time: Follow the 20–20–20 rule to prevent strain on your eyes.

Omega-3 supplements: These can help boost tear production naturally.

Prescription medications: In severe cases, a doctor may prescribe medications that increase tear production or reduce inflammation.

Home Remedies for Dry Eyes

In addition to artificial tear drops, several home remedies for dry eyes can offer relief:

Warm compresses: Applying a warm, moist cloth to your eyes can help unclog tear glands and improve tear flow.

Massage your eyelids: Gently massaging your eyelids can stimulate tear production.

Use eyelid wipes: Keeping your eyelids clean can prevent blockages in the oil glands that contribute to dry eyes.

Dry Skin Around Eyes: Causes and Remedies

Sometimes, dry skin around the eyes or dry skin under eyes can accompany dry eye syndrome, causing discomfort and flakiness. The delicate skin around your eyes needs special care. Using the best eye cream for dry skin and dark circles can help hydrate and restore the skin. Look for creams that contain hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and natural oils.

Blocked Tear Ducts and Dry Eyes

A blocked tear duct can cause dry eyes because it prevents tears from draining properly, leading to irritation. If you suspect a blocked tear duct, consult an eye specialist for treatment options, which may include warm compresses or surgery.

Treatment Options for Dry Eyes

Effective dry eye treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Common treatments include:

Artificial tears or lubricating eye drops

Prescription medications to reduce inflammation or stimulate tear production

Punctal plugs to keep tears on the eye surface for longer

In chronic cases, surgery may be an option to address underlying structural issues, such as a blocked tear duct.

ICD-10 Code for Dry Eye Syndrome

For medical purposes, dry eye syndrome is identified with the ICD-10 code H04.123. This code is used for documenting cases of dry eyes in medical records and insurance claims.

Conclusion

If these home remedies do not provide lasting relief, or if your symptoms persist, it’s essential to consult a specialist.

Our team of experienced ophthalmologists can provide you with the most effective solutions to manage dry eyes and other eye conditions.

Top Tips for Reducing Dark Circles Around the Eyes

Dark circles under the eyes are a common beauty concern that can affect anyone, often making us look tired or stressed. But what causes these circles, and how can we minimize them? In this article, we’ll explore the causes and share tips to reduce dark circles.

Causes of Dark Circles

Several factors contribute to dark circles, including:

Genetics: Inherited traits like thin skin or hyperpigmentation can make dark circles more prominent.

Lack of Sleep: Sleep deprivation can dull the skin and make blood vessels under the eyes more visible.

Aging: Thinner skin and the natural loss of collagen and fat as we age make dark circles more noticeable.

Allergies: Inflammation from allergies can cause puffiness and dark circles.

Sun Exposure: Too much sun can stimulate melanin production, leading to pigmentation.

Dehydration: Dry, sunken skin from lack of hydration can make dark circles worse.

1. Get Enough Sleep

The most effective remedy is ensuring 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Sleep allows your body and skin to repair. Creating a consistent sleep routine and calming bedtime habits can help improve both the quality and quantity of your rest, reducing the tired appearance.

2. Stay Hydrated

Dehydration makes skin appear dull and thin, which exaggerates dark circles. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can plump the skin and reduce the visibility of blood vessels under your eyes. Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily to maintain optimal hydration.

3. Use a Cold Compress

Applying a cold compress can constrict blood vessels and reduce puffiness and dark circles. You can use chilled cucumber slices, cold spoons, or a gel eye mask. Fifteen minutes of cooling can significantly improve the under-eye area, reducing the appearance of dark circles.

4. Use Eye Creams with Key Ingredients

Eye creams designed to target dark circles can enhance your skincare routine. Look for ingredients like caffeine, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. Caffeine constricts blood vessels, reducing puffiness, while vitamin C brightens and strengthens skin. Hyaluronic acid hydrates, and peptides boost collagen production. Brands like SkinGym offer products that focus on nourishing and brightening the delicate skin around the eyes.

5. Protect Your Skin from the Sun

Excessive sun exposure worsens pigmentation. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, especially around the eyes, is vital to protect your skin. Sunglasses can also shield the delicate eye area from harmful UV rays, preventing further pigmentation.

6. Try Tea Bags

Cooled tea bags, especially green tea, can be an effective natural remedy for dark circles. The caffeine and antioxidants in tea improve circulation and shrink blood vessels, reducing puffiness and discoloration. Simply place cooled, steeped tea bags over your eyes for 10-15 minutes.

7. Consider Professional Treatments

If home remedies aren't yielding results, professional treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or microneedling can improve skin texture and pigmentation around the eyes. Dermal fillers can also address under-eye hollows that cast shadows mimicking dark circles.

8. Address Allergies and Health Issues

If allergies are causing dark circles, treating the underlying issue is essential. Over-the-counter antihistamines can reduce allergy-related puffiness and dark circles. Iron deficiency can also contribute to the problem, so checking your levels and taking supplements if needed can help.

Conclusion

Dark circles can be frustrating, but with the right approach, they can be reduced or even eliminated. Whether you focus on improving sleep, hydration, and sun protection or use eye creams and professional treatments, consistency is key. With the right care, you can achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance.

How to Reduce Dark Circles and Under-Eye Bags

Dark circles are almost the most common reason for a tired and aged look in both men and women. These can occur as a result of many factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, and core health issues. This comprehensive guide will explain in detail the various causes of dark circles, their treatments that really work, and preventive measures for the same to achieve brighter and healthier-looking skin.

What Are Dark Circles?

Dark circles refer to the darkened skin under the eyes. This common condition affects people of all ages. Although dark circles are commonly associated with fatigue or a lack of sleep, they can be caused by a variety of causes such as aging, heredity, lifestyle choices, and medical conditions. Dark rings under the eyes typically appear gloomy or blue. Depending on your skin tone and the underlying cause, they may seem blue, purple, or dark brown. The skin under the eyes is more sensitive and thinner than the skin elsewhere on the body. Signs of damage and tension, including as fine lines, discoloration, and swelling, are also more common in this area.

Causes of Dark Circles

Getting to the root cause of your dark circles is very instrumental to performing effective treatment. Some common causes are enumerated below:

Genetics Genetics definitely play a big role in the formation of dark circles. Chances of getting it are pretty high if your parents or relatives have it.

Aging As we age, the skin starts to thin out and loses some collagen. This causes the blood vessels under the eyes to become visible and appear as dark circles.

Lack of Sleep Sleep deficiency can lead to dilation of blood vessels which, at times, creates an illusion that they are more prominent underneath the eye. Additionally, lack of adequate sleep causes the body to hold liquid, which causes puffiness and darkening.

Allergies The presence of allergies causes the body to release histamine which is a blood vessel dilator, eventually resulting in a dark appearance. Also, if one continues rubbing or scratching his or her eyes due to allergies, then it will aggravate the dark circles.

Dehydration Dehydration makes the skin sink under the eyes, thereby revealing dark circles.

Lifestyle Factors A poor diet, excessive drinking, and smoking all contribute towards dark circles. Such habits shall impact blood circulation and the skin condition in general.

Treatments That Actually Work for Dark Circles

Topical Solutions

Eye Creams Eye creams rich in ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, hyaluronic acid, and peptides may help lighten and tighten the area under the eyes. Look for products specifically targeting dark circles.

Cold Compress A cold compress can help compress blood vessels and de-puff a puffy eye, making dark circles less noticeable. Chilled cucumber slices or a cold spoon can be used to get a cool relief from darkness.

Medical Treatments

Chemical Peels These chemical peels reduce this pigmentation and improve skin texture. The procedures remove the superficial layer of skin, increasing cell turnover, and giving way to brighter skin from underneath.

Laser Therapy The laser treatments work to target the pigmentation while stimulating collagen production that will help do away with the dark circles and improve your skin texture.

Dermal Fillers That's where dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid can be injected into the tear trough area to create volume and reflect light onto the shadowy area. This works best for dark circles brought on by thinning skin or loss of fat.

Home Remedies

Cucumber Slices The slice of cucumber is known for its cooling effect, and has antioxidants that help dispel puffiness and brighten up the under eye area. Place chilled cucumber slices on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.

Tea Bags Tea bags, mainly green or chamomile tea, contain caffeine and antioxidants that help reduce swelling and improve blood flow. Steep the tea bags, let them cool off, and apply them on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.

Almond Oil and Honey Dip a cotton swab in almond oil and honey mix and apply it in the under-eye circles. Let it stay overnight. Both the ingredients are nourishing and will lighten the dark circles with regular use.

Prevention

Healthy Life Habits

Get Enough Sleep Aim for 7-9 hours of good sleep every night to help reduce dark circles. Have a regular sleeping pattern and create a relaxing routine before bed.

Stay Hydrated Drink much water throughout the day. This will keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Dehydration makes dark circles more prominent.

Eat a Balanced Diet A good intake of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can promote healthier skin. Foods that are rich in vitamins C and K and iron can help in reducing dark circles.

Sun Protection

Use Sunscreen Protect your skin from the sun. This will help in preventing pigmentation and premature aging. Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 throughout the day, even on cloudy days.

Wear Sunglasses Sunglasses will act to shield the tender skin around the eyes from UV damage and thus help reduce formation of dark circles and other forms of sun damage.

Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes Eye rubbing and scratching will break the delicate skin and, as such, will further aggravate circles under the eyes. If scratching or irritation is needed, then local eye drops will be effective, or seek medical advice.

Consult a Doctor

Persistent Dark Circles If you have dark circles and many treatments have been tried by you to no avail, then it is time to go to a dermatologist. They can identify the root cause and treat accordingly.

Associated Symptoms If other symptoms are associated with it like swelling, itching, or pain, then the advice of the doctor must be sought as it can signal some underlying health problem that may need treatment.

Conclusion

Dark circles can be a pain in the neck, but with the right approach, they sure can be managed. You can ensure that your skin looks brighter and healthier by just grasping the causes, treating them, and living a healthy lifestyle. Keep in mind that it's all about being consistent; sometimes it takes time for results to be noticeable.

Consult a dermatologist or professional skincare expert for advice and treatments tailor-made for you. They will guide you as needed based on your skin type and condition.

By the end of this ultimate guide, you will have gone through some of the most dramatic ways of reducing dark circles under your eyes and achieving a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.

1. Cucumber Slices

Cucumber slices are a classic remedy for tired, puffy eyes. They contain antioxidants and silica, which can help rejuvenate the skin and reduce inflammation. Simply chill cucumber slices in the refrigerator for a few minutes, then place them over your closed eyes for 10-15 minutes. The cool temperature and natural properties of cucumber can help constrict blood vessels and lighten dark circles over time.

2. Tea Bags

Both green tea and black tea contain caffeine and antioxidants that can help shrink blood vessels around the eyes, reducing puffiness and dark circles. After brewing a cup of tea, allow the tea bags to cool down. Then, place them over your eyes for about 10-15 minutes. Regular use of tea bags can provide noticeable improvements in the appearance of dark circles.

3. Cold Milk

Cold milk can help soothe and nourish the delicate skin under your eyes. Dip a couple of cotton pads in cold milk and place them over your closed eyes for 15 minutes. The lactic acid in milk helps to soften and hydrate the skin, while the cool temperature reduces puffiness and dark circles.

4. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is renowned for its healing and moisturizing properties. Applying fresh aloe vera gel under your eyes can help lighten dark circles and hydrate the skin. Leave the gel on for about 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. Regular use of aloe vera can also improve skin elasticity and reduce pigmentation.

5. Rose Water

Rose water has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce puffiness and refresh tired eyes. Soak cotton pads in chilled rose water and place them over your closed eyes for 10-15 minutes. The gentle astringent properties of rose water can help tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark circles.

6. Almond Oil

Almond oil is rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants, making it a great natural remedy for dark circles. Gently massage a few drops of almond oil into the skin under your eyes before bedtime. This helps improve blood circulation and can lighten dark circles over time with regular use.
