#hope this answers your question 😂

[themeraldee]

I don't know if you're getting sick of the body type questions, but on one of your most recent asks you said, "It's not that I think that he will be immediately attracted to a larger size. He most certainly will throw all sorts of jabs and sarcastic remarks," and hooooo boy does that fulfill some kind of pathetic fantasy in me. I was wondering if you had any little tastes of like, what that would look like? The idea of being so disgusted with a girl because she doesn't fit his idealized image and slowly melting because she just has a force-of-nature personality that sees into his soul? Sounds great, give me 20.

I'm really just wondering of like, things he would say or think as he's going through it.

Deffo not getting sick of it!!! I read this in the morning and spent the entire day thinking back to this. Still somehow I don't have the perfect answers. I gotta say snappy and clever dialogue is such a weakness of mine that whatever I think of for this probably won't flow how I want it to so excuse that pls 😂

At first he'd treat her with 0 respect, dismissing her like any other office drone whinging in his ear about something they need from him. When her post turns more permanent and she doesn't scurry away at the first sign of discomfort he pushes it further, seeing how much more she can take. It's a lot less about insulting her weight and a lot more about getting under her skin and dealing with his own issues of getting increasingly more attracted to someone with a societally less desirable body.

He looks her up and down before making comments such as:

"I didn't know Vought hired women your size."

"Whew, must be real confident to wear a dress like that."

She has heard it a thousand times, men always just try to get the upper hand, wanting to be the dominant one in the exchange. While there's no question about his power, he acts just like any other man who thinks insulting her weight will magically make her turn skinny.

At first I imagine him ogling her, unabashedly staring at her ass or tits, watching as she walks or bends over. It's less about getting his dick hard and more about the condescending superiority because he feels like he's doing her a favour as according to him, pfft, who else is gonna look at you like that?

But really he always looks forward to her nonchalant responses anytime he tried to jab at her with yet another fat-shaming joke. She so doesn't take him seriously and it's such a nice change of pace that he's hooked on their interactions.

"Cookies today, huh? Still not had enough?"

"No actually, I brought some for you. The team had too many leftover so I thought I'd share."

"Well it's not like you need anymore." He's so caught off guard by the nice gesture that he has no choice but to default to more rude remarks.

"Just eat the damn cookie." He relishes in the way she shakes her head, rolling her eyes with a tiny hint of a smile.

---

"What in the christ are you drinking now? What kind of calorie bomb is that, it smells fucking awful."

"It's literally just a matcha latte, it's actually a little bitter - want to try some?"

And it's the little remarks or acknowledgements she sends back his way that get him a little too riled up. Because she has no issues with 'standing up' to him. Oops suddenly he's ogling her for a whole different reason. Jaw clenching, head swimming with thoughts of parting her soft thighs and feeling them squeeze around his head—

Until he's the one actively seeking her company because she's a breath of fresh air and doesn't cower in front of him. And he wants her so fucking bad. She offers companionship when nobody else is willing to have an entertaining conversation. It reaally doesn't take long for him to be desperate to be held by her soft body and have her words softly whispered in his ear.

How did henn and helob meet? Was she caught in one of his traps?

Lenn’s head was throbbing.

Consciousness came like a brick to the head as her eyes fluttered open. The bright moonlight made her groan, feeling a knife of pain stab at the back of her eyeballs. Stretching her back, she quickly found that she was restrained, hardly able to move her arms a centimeter from her sides. With a panicked gasp, she dropped her head forward, eyes widening at the sight of her body wrapped from neck to toe in a bundle of spider silk. 

“H-How…” she muttered to herself, already feeling a bead of sweat run down her temple. The last thing she could remember was being chased by heretics of the Old Faith, all while making a mess of her escape: stumbling into bushes and catching nearly every overgrown root with her feet as she made a desperate sprint in the opposite direction of their screeching calls and glinting swords.

Then, she remembered a scuffle, something she had no chance to witness as the world began to spin, leaving her faint and limp. Oddly enough, she didn’t remember hitting the hard, cold ground.

She was beginning to put together why.

Being mindful of her breathing, she struggled against the strong layers of webbing, her knees tucked to her chest and affording her no aid as she tried forcing them forward against her silken prison. It was growing difficult for her not to hyperventilate in panic.

Then, a sound caught one of her long ears, sending it upright: joyful calls and hollers, somewhere to her right. Turning her head as best she could, she spotted two figures, both dressed in unfamiliar garb, romping around in an open field just outside the woods, flakes of snow just beginning to fall from the cloudy, gray sky. Joy overtook her as she opened her mouth for a loud holler, only for her lips to be closed shut by something that felt almost like solid bone.

She shuddered a breath through her nose as warm air blew over her neck, sending her fur to stand on end. A deep, sinister chuckle rumbled next to her left ear, making her shiver. She didn’t want to look, worried that maybe whatever was there was somehow worse than her own imagination, but she glanced slowly to her side anyway, letting out a muffled squeak upon seeing the large, purple-irised eye blinking right at her.

The monster let out another low chuckle, revealing said eye to be on his forehead - one of three - as he craned forward, drool dripping from his fanged mouth as he smiled at her excitedly.

“Such pathetic little morsels~” the giant spider mused, a lilt to his voice that almost sounded like an accent, “But so good for a midnight snack, mmm?”

Lenn was shaking, her entire cocoon shuddering like a leaf in winter, which only made the spider laugh more, though he was sure to keep his volume low so as not to alert her only possible saviors, who she could hear laughing to themselves in whimsy.

“And how should I cooks the little bunny, hm? Perhaps…roasted over a fire? Or maybe I’ll make it into a stew~” Lenn’s fear was becoming unbearable, feeling the stipple of anxiety in her chest as well as the racing of her heart. She stiffened as another one of the spider’s sharp legs grazed along her opposite cheek. “Or perhaps I’ll just eat it raw? I do loves the crunch, crunch, crunch of their little bo-”

CRUNCH

Lenn bit into the monster’s arm as hard as she could, her buck teeth driving directly into the joint of his leg. She immediately felt her cocooned body sag a bit, the monster having released his grip on her, one of his sharp legs scratching across her binds as he recoiled back in shock.

Lenn hit the ground hard. She thrashed to escape the remaining strips of silk and scrambled to her feet, hearing the pained hissing of her former capture quickly fall quiet as she hopped over some brush and weaved through the trees. Like her escape from the heretics, she didn’t have a plan for where she was going - just anywhere from here.

As she ran through the dense trees, she listened for any sign that the spider was following her - the snap of a branch or rustle in the trees - though she hoped he’d given up and saw her as too-difficult-prey. Fortune didn’t seem to be on her side, however, as something suddenly hit her in the back. She felt herself lifting off the ground.

“No, no, no, no, no!” she muttered in a panic as she thrashed midair, spinning herself every which way and grazing the dirt with her feet. Spotting an old, fallen arrow, she hurriedly grabbed it up by the sharpened head, paying no mind to the way it cut through her palm and under her fingers as she fumbled it behind her, desperately sawing at the piece of silk that had stuck to her back just as she began to lift even higher.

She felt the force of her body weight as she landed on hands and knees, shockwaves of pain traveling like lightning through her shoulders and hips. Looking up, she saw a large, fluffy, purple blob falling down towards her. With a scream, she scrambled to crawl forward, feeling one of the giant spider’s legs pinch at her side before roughly turning her to land on her back. He landed right over-top of her, all eight legs surrounding her like a spindly cage, save for the one she had bitten earlier.

The giant spider laughed, grabbing at her foot as she tried to scramble backwards, dragging her through the dirt back below him. “This little bunny is quick on her feet, hmm?” Despite his smile and jovial tone, he looked annoyed - really annoyed. Lenn flinched as he grabbed at her cut up hand, raising it for inspection before eyeing her mischievously. Her eyes widened as he opened his fanged maw, purple drool dripping down his chin as his tongue hung from his mouth. She tensed and cringed, her eyes shut tight as he dragged his large tongue over her bloody palm, with her making little, frightened sounds of protest until Helob let go of her arm. “So much fuss for one meal. I might just eats you whole right now to avoid anymore trouble-”

A rustle in the nearby brush snapped his attention away from her, his three eyes narrowing as his irises shrank to knife-like slits. She thought of attempting another escape but felt another one of his legs pin down into her shirt, effectively trapping her as he stared in the direction of the growing noise beside them. Looking for herself, she saw a sheep emerge from the darkness of the woods.

I-I thought they were all… she gulped, wondering if she was already dead and had entered some sort of hellish purgatory.

The spider’s smile widened, looking more genuine. “Ahhh, my number one customer~” he crooned, not moving his leg from her shirt as he adjusted his posture. “Dangerous wanderings in the woods once more, hmm?”

“Yeah, I mean - the usual,” the lamb replied casually, a relaxed smile on their face. Glancing down at Lenn, their ears lowered slightly, eyes quickly returning to Helob. “You seem busy yourself.”

Helob hummed sinisterly. “Mmmm, just gathering up a little snack…” His impatience was beginning to show, the large pair of external fangs near his mouth clicking once, then twice, before relaxing again.

“Oh, well, as it so happens-” Reaching under their red fleece, the sheep produced a rather hefty-looking bag of what sounded like gold coins. “I was actually hoping to run into you today, so…”

Helob’s eyes narrowed, his smile hardening. The sheep waved the bag around during his silence, jingling the golden currency inside. Lenn, meanwhile, was holding her breath and looking tensely between the two.

“Mmmmm, very well, Lamb,” Helob finally conceded. Lenn exhaled quietly as he unpinned her shirt, “I accept your generous offerings~” Taking the bag of coins from the lamb, Helob skittered back, allowing Lenn to shakily stand on her feet before quickly moving behind the lamb. Helob’s eyes narrowed thinly again. “Don’t eat them all at once…” With that he rose back into the trees, making a show of some noise they could confuse with him traveling away before falling completely silent.

He listened as the lamb introduced themself, Lenn reluctantly doing the same. She thanked them for saving her, which they waved off casually before tending to her bloody, drool-covered hand. The lamb’s attentiveness made Lenn blush slightly, and Helob could feel an irritated rumble grow in his chest. Helob counted the coin Lamb had provided - 500 whole gold pieces, just as he had estimated - as he watched them talk. Lenn obviously needed settling down before the lamb could convince her to come to their grounds, something Helob suddenly found…bothersome.

He watched as they both moved into the woods from the direction the lamb had originally arrived, soon disappearing from sight. His festering was interrupted soon after by a glint from something left behind in the clearing. Lowering back down, Helob picked a small pocket watch strung on a silver chain from the ground. It was downright tiny - small enough to wear around one’s neck as the chain implied - and shined under the silvery moonlight like a star. Turning it over, he saw the front was decorated with an engraving of a rabbit sitting on a crescent moon.

“Hmhmhmhm…” Helob chuckled to himself with a grin. “The little bunny dropped her tiny trinket~” he mused to himself, his interest peaked at the question now on his mind: would she come back for it, despite everything that’s happened? With another low, sinister laugh, Helob rose back up into the trees, tucking the small trinket into his body fluff for safe keeping.

D&D Character Asks - Gan

1. What influenced or inspired the creation of this character?

They were originally created in the Dragon Age universe as a cousin to my HoF, Briva Tabris. I wanted my Tabris to have some family for post DAO and decided on a cousin that would travel with her (since I didn't want Shianni or Soris to fill that role). I've brought them over to BG3 now (which I'm basing these asks off of) because they weren't tied to another central story and they are my evil/morally dubious character for RPing those things.

5. What creature would they like to have as a pet?

A ferret - I've made their love of ferrets carry over to multiple universes where I've used them (Dragon Age, Fallout New Vegas, Wasteland 3, Baldur's Gate 3). Why I chose ferrets, I couldn't tell you but I think they are adorable lol

7. Is there anyone they’d die for? Kill for?

Die for? Absolutely not. Let's get one thing clear, Gan dies for no one. Kill for though? A handful of folks - Astarion, Minthara, Shadowheart, Étoile (@omgkalyppso OC), Ixbalam (@meishuu OC), Penelope (@bhaalbaaby OC), and their family if they ever decided to get over their self imposed exile from them.

8. Who was their first love?

A femme elf I wrote about in this post

9. How would this character react to someone confessing their love for them?

So it depends on the circumstances but if we're talking about the normal one of someone they're involved with, it still depends LOL.

If it's a situation where they weren't expecting it because they had completely different ideas of what they had with the other person, they would listen and gauge whether or not they needed to say those words back to them. If they can get by without having to say them and just react kind of similarly through action to keep the person from being brokenhearted they will do that instead.

If they are kind of expecting it and they feel a bit like the other person, they will verbally express caring about the person but not love.

A confession of your love for them does not guarantee they will be confessing love for you. Only when they are ready will love be expressed 🤷🏾‍♀️

10. How old is this character?

Gan is 138 at the start of Baldur's Gate 3

18. What is their favorite spell or method of attack?

Method of attack - melee sneak attack with daggers coated in a paralytic poison

General spell - Disguise Self

Spell in combat - Greater Invisibility

Do you think Rizzley- I mean Wriothesley classifies as a dilf

it seems we have a particularly serious matter in hands so i would like to conduct a through evaluation before announcing the final verdict.

dilf, also known as dad i'd like to fuck, a contemporary word to denote an attractive older man who's usually a father. i collected a few pieces of evidence to back my statements and i'll proceed to go into further detail now so please stay with me.

exhibit a: dilf is a mindset, dilf is a lifestyle. time isn't real, a child can be made anytime

exhibit b: he's hot. scientists claim global warming has worsened since he was shown to the world... coincidence? definitely not.

exhibit c: he has enough cake to feed a whole family, therefore he is a caring family man. gotta respect the grind

exhibit d: he keeps the stickers his very tiny friend keeps adding to his gauntlets. very dad behaviour

exhibit e: this right here was worthy of paying child support and tuition fees (he clearly wanted to fight)

exhibit f: daddy. no further commentary.

*clears throat* after this through and careful examination i hereby declare that rizzley does possess enough qualifications to be awarded with an honorary dilf title. case closed *hits gavel*

[overgrownbat]

Do you think Snape ever saw elements of James' personality in Draco? I don't really care either way about James but the way you feel about James is how I feel about Draco.

Oh, hello. I have an ask. Thanks Nonnie!

Beyond an oversimplification of Draco and James being rich pure-blood bullies? No, I don't think so.

Whilst we're given little information as to why or how James is the way he is, Draco is a product of his parents, and the echo chamber that is Slytherin House. They're fundamentally different people, which I think is something Severus would recognise.

To add, Draco, whilst a spoilt brat, doesn't outright misbehave in front of Severus directly, and without having me reread the books entirely to provide a better answer, the one or two altercations I recall have Draco waiting until Severus' back is turned so him making the first move is often missed and the punishment is directed at Harry. (Not that this is the only reason for Severus doing so, but it's a factor.)

To be honest, I think if Severus were to compare Draco to anyone from his schooldays, it'd probably be Lucius. We don't see much of him as a student, but if present-day Lucius' behaviour is anything to go by, I don't think Draco would be far off. However it should be noted that Lucius was the first to accept Severus into Slytherin, and very likely Hogwarts as a whole. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that due to this, any misdemeanor that Lucius, and by extension Draco, commits is likely forgiven in Severus' mind if it's registered as such at all.

Until book six at least, where everything just goes pear-shaped.

If we get our part of the corpse at a bad time/can't finish it, can we have it passed along to the next person so that the chain isn't disturbed? I'd love to participate but am afraid I can't 100% commit

I'm so pleased you've asked this! 🥹 I know it's hard to commit to an event - especially when I can't make proper guidelines until the From is through 💀- so questions like this are invaluable.

The way I've decided is most manageable will be to put all our names in a randomiser. I will start by randomising those who will be OK going first or last and continue by taking the first and last person and putting them aside to randomise the rest of the names together.

This will create the event's "Timeline", as I've been referring to it as. I'll go in afterwards and add each person's estimated start date and end date and send out that list to everyone - however! I will not finalise the list until a few days later because I'll wait for those who may have conflicts to reach out to me - once I'm certain everyone is satisfied with their timeframes, I will share the list again. It shall stand as the event's official Timeline.

Now, on the very possible chance something may come up for a participant that leaves them unable to work within their selected timeframe, I'll reach out to all the remaining people and see if we can make a quick and painless swap. If this does not work, I'll check in with the final person and see if they won't mind moving their portion back to accommodate our wayward friend!

I will do everything in my power to make it so everyone who wants to participate can. But, if there does come a situation that can't be altered or adjusted, we will unfortunately have to continue on without them. The chain must go on!

But please don't fret! We can always host another exquisite tomarrymort corpse down the line 🥹

Why do you wanna do rewrites, I quite like your 'old' fics, do you not like them?

I am in a different mind set and place then I was when I originally wrote some of my old stuff. I adore a good chunk of my old writing but there are two things in particular I look back on and feel so ashamed because I know I could have done better and you guys deserve better from me. Since it seems that no one really has any specific ones in mind those two will be the only ones rewritten and if you guys truly like the original I will keep those available for you to read. I however want you all to have my best work because that is what you deserve.

I am not always the best to myself but seeing that my writing connects with so many people and can make them happy makes me want to give you all I can. And if there are specific fics or writings you don’t want me to touch feel free to let me know! I adore all of my followers and mutuals for allowing me to share my writing and inspiring me to keep writing more!

I hope this helps in clarifying my reasoning and I hope that you feel comfortable enough to let me know more things like this! Because I love hearing for you all!

who on god’s green earth does a fifteen hundred word essay word limit serve i would just like to know . 🚬.

In supercharged, is any of the other boys going to have love interests? :) & how slow of a slow burn is it? I love it so far oh my god!! Can’t wait for more hehehe I love enemies to lovers

heyy I'm glad you're enjoying it!! thanks for the ask🥰I'm not going to give major spoilers, but I'll put my answers under a cut since it is about future parts of the story💜

as for the other love interests, there is one side pairing which is already established between the boys, and you'll find out who they are! but they aren't a focus, altho I have thought of a whole backstory for them hahahaha.. but nothing dramatic! and I defo have another ship in my mind which hasn't made its way in here lol

hmmm so as a slow burn I'd say it's pretty slow🤣I defo took the approach of exploring the build-up of reader and jk's relationship, so we get a fair bit of juicy enemies content in the next few chapters (considering the first two are mainly setting up the plot), before they start to discover more about each other and go through different situations. romance doesn't come until very near the end, but there will be no shortage of content of the two together, I promise!!

but in classic me fashion, I took a while to get to the right moment. I really took myself on a journey writing it, so their emotional bond is going to be the forefront before romance arrives... I hope you enjoy the ride as we get there👀(I hope I'm explaining ok, but you'll have to judge as it goes on! for me, the bond really forms the foundation for their relationship, so idk, certain things might not happen until later, but some of my fave scenes are actually from the middle of the story. it's all still meaningful for them getting together)

anyway most of the chapters are similar in length, and you can see all the future chapters in the masterlist to get an idea of how long this is haha

[kindahoping4forever]

When 5sos say the show is available on demand what does that mean? Like what platform is it available on, I don't see it on YouTube? Thanks for the help!

I'm glad you asked, I've seen a lot of confusion about this!

This release is being handled as a movie would, so it's available on the platforms you would typically go to rent or purchase a newly released film. For example, in the US, I see it available on Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, Microsoft and YouTube Movies. (These are US links so if they don't auto redirect to your country's version, try searching on your store!) It looks like pricing is generally in the same range (Amazon is a bit higher, go figure), $3.99 for a 48 hour SD rental, $4.99 for HD and $9.99 to purchase in SD, $11.99 HD.

I assume the promise of "more territories soon" refers to the platforms listed above possibly not being available in all countries (I believe Vudu in particular is US only) and they're working on getting it on similar rental/purchase platforms worldwide.

The continued usage of the phrase "on demand" rather than "streaming" leads me to believe that there are currently no deals in place with a subscription service (such as Netflix, Apple, HBO, Disney, Hulu, etc) and that it will remain exclusively on these types of rental/purchase platforms unless something changes with the licensing.

Hope this helps! 💙

10, 27, 50🥰

10. Do you believe in love at first sight?

Nah. Like you said there’s infatuation at first sight.

27. Has someone ever written a song or poem for you?

Yes 😭 I’ve had a few poems sent to me on here either through anon, DMs or posting one and saying I’m the inspiration behind it.

50. If your first true love knocked on your door with apology and presents, would you accept?

That’s pretty complicated lol

[freak-vy]

It could be ether really lol, I was more thinking of Envy having a harem but a harem consisting of the 3 Envy’s would be halrious

If it’s the harem of Envy’s it could be with one of the Elric brothers, imagine Ed or Al just having to constantly balance their attention between all 3 En’s because if they don’t the other two would get jealous XD

Or with Envy having a harem every person within a 10 feet radius just falls head over heels for him (Ed,Al,Ling,Roy,etc), to add a bit of angst, after the second person gains a crush on them En starts thinking it’s one big joke because he can’t fathom one person let alone two actually wanting him, but they all smother and spoil him with the love he deserves

(Sorry if this is a lot 😅)

I do like the concept! Though, a few issues for me personally. I find that my max in terms of writing characters all at once is three XD writing poly type relations while keeping individuality at the same time is hard in writing.

So it would either have to be like, Ed interacts with them all separately or something? (also, side note, I haven't read the manga -i know sue me lol- so I'm not sure how manga Envy is different from the others 😂) generally, I know that 03 Envy is a lot more brutal, has more lore, and there's a lot more hatred there. Where as Brotherhood Envy is like, jokey/flirty. And, granted, I haven't seen the 03 anime in years 😅 idk if I'm even still able to represent him lol.

BUT I'm rambling.

With the second idea, I love that Envy is just getting all the bitches 😝 I agree, Envy is definitely the kind of person (homunculus) that would attract attention. He's always boastful, flamboyant etc. He loves attention! Though, I also love the idea that once he actually has the attention, he has no damn clue what to do with it/thinks it must be a prank. It's simultaneously hilarious and angsty 😜

I see this one being some sort of series of interconnected one shots where Envy is getting fawned over, that are all emotionally connected or something like that. (Not sure if I'm capable of all that 😂 but I'll put it on the list bc I genuinely do like the concept!)

[pjxckson]

do you have any particular references for characters, or do you draw them just from your head? What's your drawing process like?

Also as an lesbian, I could not cope with lesbian!Sirius, the thirst😂😂😂

My drawing process changes a lot depending on what I’m doing so sometimes I’m just trolling around the internet and see something and just HAVE to draw X character as the thing I saw IMMEDIATELY but other times I have something specific in mind and will go hunting for some references that fit what I’ve got in my head (this usually involves 2-8 different references that I’ll mash together)

I don’t really have specific references I go back to after I’ve used it once though. Their facial features/hair/etc are mostly from my brain and I just smack them onto whatever model I’m using for the pose. That being said… there are quite a few models that I’ll use over and over that have completely taken over my Pinterest at this point

(yeah same that’s why the only fem Sirius I’ve ever drawn was basically a succubus 😂😂)

Random question! What are your five favorite YouTube channels?

Hey there, thank you for the ask!! Random questions are so fun and I'd love to have a better answer for you than this but unfortunately my use of Youtube is primarily streaming music or checking for misc Owen related uploads 😅

Never seen an influencer in my life lol and don't actually subscribe to any channels either but there are a couple I do check out from time to time!

Free time's at a minimum and I don't get around to playing video games like I used to so NicoB's Let's Play content has always been really fun to watch, his Danganronpa playthroughs gave me life years ago and while I haven't checked in for a while I was just about to start his Master Detective Archives: Rain Code run even though I own the game lol. Plot sounded fantastic but minutes in the mascot character gave me a headache so his voiceovers should be a big improvement 😊

The other is by a Thai backpacker named Sunny who has a really awesome travel channel updating several times a week. His content is super genuine with regards to the good and bad of every experience (plus no product sponsorships or placements), English subs are always available, and overall he's just a chill, kind person with a lot of respect and interest for the local culture so it's easy to follow his travels and learn a lot too!

A Lap to Nap - Bang Chan

Bang Chan finds peace in your lap, but duty calls him back to the studio.

Chris pushed open the door to your apartment, his eyes heavy but brightened by the sight of you waiting on the couch.

"Hey," he said softly, dropping his bag by the door. He crossed the room in a few steps, leaning down to press a tender kiss to your lips. "Missed you."

You smiled, reaching out to brush his curls away from his forehead. “Missed you too,” you said, patting the cushion beside you. He sank down heavily, the weight of hours spent in the studio evident in his sluggish movements.

"You okay?" you asked, letting your fingers wander into his unstyled hair.

"Just tired," he murmured, eyes fluttering shut as his head found its way onto your lap. He exhaled deeply, his body melting into the couch. You continued stroking his hair, marveling at how peaceful he looked. The usual intensity and focus you associated with him were gone, replaced by serene exhaustion.

Minutes passed in comfortable silence, broken only by the hum of the TV. You glanced across the room when the soft buzz of a phone vibrating caught your attention – it was your boyfriend's phone, still in his bag at the door. For a moment, you considered getting up, but his head on your lap anchored you in place.

Your own phone buzzed on the coffee table instead, and you reached for it carefully.

Changbin: "Yo, is Chan with you? Can't reach him. Need to talk about re-recording something."

You smiled at the irony, glancing down at Chris. He was fast asleep, his lips slightly parted, utterly unaware of both phones vying for his attention. Gently, you took a quick photo – his head tucked against your thigh and your hand in his hair as though it was the most natural thing in the world.

You: "Does this answer your question?" You attached the photo and sent it.

Changbin’s reply came almost immediately.

Changbin: "😂 Sorry for disturbing. Tell him to call me when he wakes up. Hate to take him away, but we need him back for a bit. 😅"

You sighed softly and put your phone back down. Your gaze returned to Chris. You hated the thought of waking him, but you knew how important his work was. With soft fingers, you traced his cheek.

“Channie,” you called softly. “Baby, wake up.”

He stirred, his brows furrowing slightly before his eyes blinked open, glazed with sleep. He looked up at you with a faint, sleepy smile. “Didn’t… didn’t think I’d be out like that,” he mumbled, his voice warm and husky.

You chuckled, still massaging his head softly. “Changbin texted,” you said gently. “He says you need to go back to re-record something.”

Chris groaned softly, his eyes closing again for a moment, enjoying the tender sensation of your fingers against his scalp for a few moments longer. “Of course he did,” he murmured, his voice muffled against your leg.

You laughed, brushing his hair back. “He felt bad for disturbing. You were completely knocked out.”

“Was I?” he asked with a shy smile, looking up at you. “I’m sorry. I just… couldn’t help it. You’re too comfortable.”

Smiling, you leaned down to meet him, your lips brushing his in a soft, lingering kiss. When you pulled back, you whispered, “Go finish your work. You’ll have me – and my lap – all to yourself after.”

Chris grinned, sitting up reluctantly. “You better keep that promise,” he teased, stealing another quick kiss before standing and grabbing his phone.

Later that night, as time in the studio slipped by, Changbin nudged Chris with a playful grin. “Hey, hope your girlfriend isn’t mad at me,” he teased. “I mean, I did kind of steal you away. I don’t want to end up on her bad side.”

Chris chuckled, shaking his head. “She’s not mad, Binnie. Trust me, Y/N’s way too chill for that.”

Han, who had been quietly listening, raised his head. "Whaaat? You called him when he was with Y/N?" he teased, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “Really? What a move, man."

“Hey, it wasn’t my fault,” Changbin chuckled, rolling his eyes. “Still, you owe her a date night after this.”

Chris smiled softly. “Oh, don’t worry—I’ve got plans.”

The next day you received a message from Chris. It was a screenshot of the Stray Kids group chat. Your eyes widened as you saw the very picture you’d sent Changbin the day before – Chris peacefully sleeping on your lap, his curls messy and his expression serene.  

Changbin: "Guys, look what I got yesterday 😂"  

Your cheeks instantly heated up. You looked through the messages that followed, feeling a mix of embarrassment and amusement.  

Han: "OMG, this is ADORABLE."  

Felix: "Can we all agree this is peak boyfriend goals? 🥺"  

Hyunjin: "That’s so cute... 🤢❤️”

Seungmin: "The old man needing his afternoon naps – I’m saving this for future blackmail."  

Jeongin: "Honestly, same. Imagine the chaos this will cause when we tease him about it."  

At the bottom of the conversation Chris’s reply stood: 

Chris: "Blackmail? Nah, y’all are just jealous. I’m living the dream."
