Rhea Ripley x Fem!Reader

WARNINGS: 18+ SMUT, Thigh Riding, Spanking, Strap-On Riding, Strapwarming, Slight Manipulation??? WORD COUNT: 2,773 A/N: literally started working on this the second i saw this. loved this prompt

“Hello hello! I’m here!” You called out as you let yourself into your friend Rhea’s home. “You better not be robbing me, I have a knife!” Rhea joked from the kitchen.

You approached the woman finishing cutting up a watermelon. “You need to learn how to lock your door Rhe-Rhe.” Rhea set her knife down and turned to face your direction, flexing her arms. “Have you seen these guns? No one could stand a chance,” she said before putting the chopped up fruit in a bowl. “Also I left it unlocked for you, it’s fucking freezing out there. I didn't wanna make you wait in the cold.”

“What a gentleman,” You teased as you patted her back. The both of you made your way into the living room before plopping yourselves into the couch. “I swear people completely forget how to drive the second they see a couple of snowflakes.” You grumbled while a chuckle came from Rhea.

The two of you had spent the past few months spending bits of your free time together growing your friendship closer. But the past few weeks Rhea had been begging you to come to her place  nearly everyday. She also became more possessive over you, you noticed how jealous she got two nights ago when you went out with your group of friends. Rhea only talked to you the entire night and would tense up whenever you spoke to anyone other than her.

“Now why was I dragged to your humble abode today?” You questioned as the snow fell outside the large window several feet behind you. Rhea gave you a big cheesy smile before saying “Board games!”

You groaned “Will you ever get bored of forcing me to play your old people games everyday?” You complained to the woman. “You know you love it,” Rhea claimed before adding on “I just want to finish one last episode of my show.” As Rhea began watching her show, you stared at the dark twilight outside.

Both of you were soon disrupted by a weather alert blurting from the TV. You turned away from the window and looked over at Rhea whose eyes were glued to the TV screen, then turned your attention to the weather alert reading “Winter Storm – Blizzard Warning: In Effect 6 PM Through 11 AM – No Travel Advised.”

“Shit,” You mumbled looking at your watch. 5:28 PM. “I should get out of here before the roads get too fucked.” You said as you stood up. Rhea quickly grabbed your hand “No stay, I don’t want you driving out there. The roads are probably slippery already, I’d feel awful if I made you go home in this weather.” She coaxed.

“I’ll be okay Rhea, I really don’t wanna be a burden.” You said looking down at her. “I want you to stay.” Rhea stated, grabbing your other hand. The pair of you studied each other's faces before you nodded “If you insist…” You mumbled while the woman smiled and let go of your hands.

As the last few minutes of Rhea’s show played she made her way to the kitchen and grabbed a handful of beer bottles to place on the coffee table. “If we're gonna be stuck here we gotta at least get buzzed.” Rhea voiced as she made her way to her closet which housed all her games. 

You sat on the floor in front of the sofa as Rhea brought back an assortment of Monopoly, Skip-bo, and Connect 4.

“You ready to get your ass beat?” Rhea taunted, causing you to roll your eyes. “In your dreams, Ripley.” You bantered. Rhea winked at you before taking a swig of her beer. 

The woman had beat you in both Monopoly and Skip-Bo. “I need some damn wine.” You grumbled as you stood up.

You poured two glasses of the first red wine you noticed then brought them out to the living room. “Thank you, beautiful.” Rhea smirked, her compliment catching you by surprise leading your cheeks to flush. 

“You’re cheating!” Rhea accused after multiple rounds of her losing to you in Connect 4. You made a sarcastic angry expression “It’s Connect 4 how would I cheat!?” You snickered out. “It’s gotta be rigged!” She swore. “Rhe-Rhe it’s a piece of plastic I promise it's not rigged, also it’s not my fault I’m always two steps ahead of you.” You said playfully patting her thigh. 

“Not always,” Rhea muttered under her breath. You shot her a confused look, “Hm?” You hummed out. “Ah nothin’ you go pick the next game.” 

Rhea scootched back onto the sofa as she watched you make your way to the closet. Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion once you spotted a sealed box. You walked back to Rhea, sitting down next to her holding the box she bought just hours before you came over. 

It was a card game that you never heard of, ‘Drunk Desires’ was labeled on the plain black box. “I have literally never heard of this…” You commented, Rhea gave you a look of disbelief before voicing a simple “Seriously?” 

“What is it? Teach me how to play!” You urged, assuming it was a game comparable to Cards Against Humanity. “Oh I’ll teach you how to play,” She purred out as she opened the box. “All you have to do is draw a card and do what it tells you, if you don’t you have to take a drink…but only draw the white cards first.” Rhea instructed, scooting closer to you.

The game seemed simple enough so you took a hold of the white card on top of the deck.

“Tell your game partner what you adore most about them.” You read out, you looked at Rhea smiling. “Ummm, I like your constant attitude…and big strong muscles.” You giggled out. “Oh yeah?” Rhea took a loose grip of your upper arm, her thumb running up and down your skin caused your hairs to stick up.

Rhea used her free hand to pick up a card that read ‘Tell your game partner a dirty secret.’ “I think my little secret will remain a secret until later,” She grinned.

“Now tell me why I can’t know now?” You pushed. 

“I'll tell you later…I promise” Rhea offered. “Hmm, you gotta drink and tell me later.” You persuaded her, she shrugged before taking a sip of her wine.

You both took turns pulling seemingly simple yet flirty cards, you both had answered nearly every question. The drinks you both previously consumed had obviously built  onto the tension the two of you had building over the past few months. 

Rhea’s hand slid onto your thigh as she urged you to grab a black card. “Have a three minute kissing contest, the winner drinks.” You stuttered looking over at Rhea, the both of you staring into each other's eyes. Your breath hitched slightly, you weren't expecting the game to take a twist down this road. “I-I’m sorry, you can take a drink if you don't want to, no need to worry.” Rhea assured you.

“No, I want to.” You confessed quietly as you slowly straddled the buff woman. Rhea grinned, “You have no idea how fucked up I am over you,” Rhea whispered as you rested your forehead against hers.

“Fuck, what type of game have you gotten me into…” You muttered, your hands gripping on Rhea’s shoulders. Lust had taken control of the both of you. You weren't sure who dived into the other first, but the one thing you were sure about is how intoxicating that first taste of your closest friend was.

Messy kisses worked to sync together while Rhea’s hands explored your hips. Both of your tongues mashed together while light groans escaped the back of your throat when Rhea began grinding your hips against her lap. Your hands found their way tangled into Rhea’s hair as her tongue investigated your mouth.

Rhea’s lips traveled down from your jawline to your neck, her teeth bit down on your sensitive skin before pulling away licking her lips. You could tell Rhea had been waiting ages for this. “I think we both deserve a drink for that.” Rhea murmured after prying herself off of you. 

Once you had both set your glasses down you reached over to grab Rhea a card. Rhea bit down on her lip before reading “Both you and your partner must remove a clothing item of the other's choice.” She paused for a moment, “Let’s get you out of those pants, pretty girl.” You obeyed and stood up from her lap, you let Rhea pull the waistband down and off your legs. Her hands caressing your legs for a few moments as she admired you.

You eagerly pulled the woman's shirt off before tossing it onto the opposite end of the sofa. “We have all night sweetheart, what are you in such a hurry for hm?” Rhea teased.

You bent over, grabbing your second black card that read ‘Go into another room and send a naughty selfie to your partner.” Protecting the card in your hand you let the woman know that you’ll be right back before hurrying off to her bathroom.

Once locked in the bathroom you slipped your hoodie and shirt off. You leaned against the wall posing and snapped a photo of your body in the mirror before sending it to Rhea. You added a text simply stating “Missing you in here. :(“

You knew your message had been seen when you heard a yell from the other room, “Get your ass back in here!” Rhea demanded. You decided to stay inside the bathroom, curious as to how she’d take it. “I know you heard me, I don’t like waiting.” The woman's voice approached.  

Rhea had pulled her next card and slid it under the door. ‘Take your partner’s underwear off without using hands.’ was displayed. “You got two options, sweetheart. You could come out now and have some fun with me or you can stay in there and I’ll go to bed without you.” She threatened.

You reluctantly opened the door, Rhea caught you by surprise as she threw you over her shoulder. “Good choice.” She mumbled out.

“Now be a good girl for me and you’ll get what you need.” The woman warned you as she laid you back into the sofa. “I’ll be the best girl for you.” You promised as she kneeled in between your legs. Her lips smirked while kissing on your inner thighs, a thread of whimpers escaped from your throat. She began to bite and pull at your panties, using her hands to keep your legs open for her. As your panties fell to your ankles, Rhea’s finger struck a single swipe up your folds, causing you to yelp out. “Such a sweet girl…” Rhea stated, licking her finger. 

A new card was handed to you as Rhea sat down. You flipped the card around to show the woman. ‘Grind on your partner's thigh for two minutes.’ It read. Rhea spread her legs apart as you settled yourself onto her left leg. ”Atta girl” She hummed.  A moaned “Shit Rhea'' left your mouth once your bare core began rocking against the fabric of the woman’s jeans. The two of you connected your lips as you whimpered into Rhea’s mouth, her hands traveling around your back.

Rhea’s hands got to work unclasping your bra, sliding it down your shoulders, and discarding it.

“Such a wet girl for me,” Rhea pulled away from your lips as she muttered while your sweetness leaked through her jeans.

You both knew you were past the point of no return. You needed each other…and you needed each other fast. 

You whimpered as Rhea pulled you up off her leg. “Shh, give me one second and I promise I’ll make you feel so good.” She reassured you while tugging off her jeans to reveal she had been packing the whole night. Rhea knew tonight was gonna be the night you finally screamed her name.

“Come sit on my cock baby.” Rhea murmured, helping you align your hips with hers. Your head fell back as you began sinking onto her. A whispered “Rhea,” came from your mouth as you settled at the bottom of her strap. You slowly rocked your hips back and forth as you let your walls adjust to her size. 

As you began slowly bouncing up and down her you threw your head into Rhea’s shoulder. Your hands clinged to the woman’s biceps. “So big…Rhea” You whined out, your nails digging into Rhea’s skin.

“Fuck!” Rhea groaned under her breath. “Taking me like such a good girl.” She complimented while her hands guided your hips to bounce faster. Your hands lifted Rhea’s bra off her chest. Whimpers filled the room while your hips traveled up and down Rhea’s length.

“That’s it…so good.” Rhea quietly reassured you. She did not expect how sensitive you’d be, the smallest movements leaving you overwhelmed. 

Tears formed in your eyes as Rhea’s hands held you down, forcing you to rock your hips against her. You moaned against the woman’s shoulder, your clit rubbing against the leather of her strap-on. “Feels so good doesn't it baby,” Rhea comforted.

 Your teeth clamped down on her shoulder once her hands guided you to bounce on her length again. “I know princess,” was said before a kiss was planted on your forehead. “You’re doing so good for me.” Was whispered in your ear. A loud yelp came from you as Rhea’s hands striked down on your ass.

Rhea’s hands tightly gripped your ass leading your hips to rock forward and backward as you bounced on her. You rested your head against Rhea’s cheek, tears escaping your eyes. Your walls tightened around her as your cries turned to screams. “I need you to cum all over me baby.” Rhea urged you.

“Rhea!! Fuck!” You screeched as your orgasm peaked. “God!” You yelped. Rhea helped stabilize  you once your legs began shaking eventually she let you sink onto her length after your legs gave out.

Rhea’s hands brought your face to match hers, planting a long kiss on your lips while your final tears fell from your eyes. “You were perfect.” She praised, wiping your tears. She let you move your head to rest on her shoulder as you let out a pitiful whimper. “Shhh…it's all okay baby.” She quieted her voice, her fingers tracing in your hair.

The woman let you rest on her as you occasionally delivered weak kisses to her neck. “I got you darling…you have no idea how long I've been waiting to hold you.” She whispered, wrapping her arms around you. After letting you rest a while she lifted your hips off her length, shushing you as you whined. She slipped off her strap before lifting you off the sofa. “We gotta get you in the bath, pretty girl.”

Your back laid against Rhea’s chest while you bathed together whispering sweet nothings. “Hey…what was that secret you were gonna tell me earlier?” Your question broke the comfortable silence.

Rhea laughed before admitting “That wasn’t a real weather alert earlier.” 

“What's that supposed to mean?” She had confused you.

 “It’s some year old year old recording I found. I've been keeping an eye on the forecast and chose today as the perfect day. All I had to do was make sure it was playing before you got here.” Rhea grinned whilst coating your hair with conditioner.

You scoffed out. “And you think all that was easier than asking me on a date?” You teasingly asked. “Where’s the fun in all that?” Rhea quipped.

“You bought that game just for tonight, didn’t you?!” You interrogated Rhea. Her silence told you everything you needed to know. “You bought that game cause you were scared to make a move huh.” You accused. 

“Woah hold on!” Rhea protested, “I was not scared, I just wanted to try something new.” She tried deflecting.

“You’re not fooling me Ripley, you’re a major softie. All clingy and jealous!” You teased. “I am not clingy at all!” Rhea fussed.

“Rhea, we are in the same tub and you are clinging onto me for dear life, what’s your excuse for that, hm?” Rhea tightened her grip on you more “I’m keeping you warm of course!” She chuckled.

You were absolutely right, Rhea was so infatuated with you she wouldn’t let you out of her sight until she had to go back to work a week and a half later. She went as far as trying to beg for you to be able to travel with her. Now that Rhea got to hold you, she never planned on letting go.

Hellooo! First of all, I love your fics, especially Tomas's. They are very entertaining and the way you write is just great ^^

This is more of a question than a request, although you can develop it further if you want.

How would the linkuei trio react to a s/o who says "I hate men... except you"

It came to me out of nowhere and I thought it was funny 🙃

There Are Exceptions

Prior notes: Hehehe I throughly enjoyed writing this. Also I forgot to say this with other people’s requests who gave me compliments but thank you so much for liking my writing! (*´∀｀*)

Pairing: Lin Kuei Bros x Afab reader

Warnings ‼️: Men

Bi-Han

These dim witted, nitwit goobers who serve your husband are too much to handle. All they know how to do is punch and kick. They have no other survival instincts that can save their asses.

It’s so tiring being the one to try to help them with whatever. A woman can only do so much.

You tried teaching them how to sew only for them to say something stupid like it’s a woman’s hobby. Forget about cooking. You have never seen someone screw up scramble eggs so much that it doesn’t even form. How the fuck does it stay watery? And why are you the only one who knows how to fold clothes? Screw steaming out their wrinkles.

Your last straw today came in the nighttime when one of the clansmen came up to you and ask the most stupidest question you have ever heard.

“Uhm, some of the men were telling me that a woman’s period was when she peels her skin every month. Is that true? Cause if it is you hide it well.” This clueless assassin…oh goodness.

You just stared blankly at the young man. It had to be a joke, right? They can’t be that stupid. Actually, you don’t want to know if they are that stupid. You walked away briskly with one thing on your mind and you had to shout it out. The moment you walk into your bedroom you slammed the door shut and screamed,

“I hate men!”

Bi-Han was already in bed, waiting for you to come around. He stared at you with that grumpy expression he always has before folding his arms in front of his chest. A low grumble was being emitted by him.

How can you say you hate men when you are married to one? One that treats you like the queen you are considered you are the grandmaster’s wife. He is also one who pleasures you till you are fully satisfied. Course, it’s more like you have to go on until he is satisfied.

“…except you.”

“Mhm, that’s right. I should be the exception here. I am the grandmaster, I deserve your full respect.” Bi-Han reminded you of his role as if he doesn’t do so every day.

“And you are also my husband,” you walked up to him and placed a kiss on his forehead, “Now would you mind spooning me for tonight.”

“After that outburst, I am unsure if you deserve it.” Now he’s just being petty.

You pouted as you changed into your sleepwear. If Bi-Han looked for at least five seconds he would have caved. But he looked away immediately to prevent himself from changing his decision. You huffed as you slipped into bed. You went on your side and pretended like you didn’t care. You did because you always lost the idgaf war.

“Please, I love you.” You said over your shoulder.

Bi-Han let out a groan before turning over and wrapping his arms around your waist. Haha you win.

You may not like men but you love this man. You like this man because he’s your man.

Kuai Liang

Why does no one think of the logical answer to something?

You go out to the market all the time so you could help feed the Shirai Ryu. It helps lessen responsibilities for your husband. But even this simple task is made difficult and stupid because of some of the venders. More specifically the men.

You asked for watermelon and they hand you plastic containers with the funkiest bits of watermelon. They are discolored and are definitely past their ripeness. Yet they all tell you it’s fine. It’s not fine! It’s not good quality! Why even cut the watermelon in the first place you can do it yourself!

You want some mangos? Well you can’t fucking have any because they don’t got it. Oh what’s that? A BUNCH OF FUCKING MANGOS RIGHT BEHIND THEM! And they tell you that those are honey mangoes you didn’t specifically ask for those. They told you no because they thought you wanted Haden mangoes. Just give the woman a fucking mango!

You’re so over those male venders. They never even help you pack the carts up.

You’re too tired went you get back to the temple. You let everyone else pack the food away without helping out this time. You can’t be bothered. You take your shoes off, step into the temple, and sigh heavily.

“I hate men.” You groaned.

You didn’t realize Kuai Liang was coming up to you to greet you. You looked up and saw his face. He stared blankly with a bit of concern.

“…except you.”

You wanted to make it right so you ran up to him, giving him many kisses and hugging him.

“What has made you so hateful, my love? Did someone at the market bother you?” He asked with concern.

Kuai Liang was not at all mad at what you said. He found it odd which meant there was something wrong. His hands went up to check if maybe it was something physical. He would hate to find out you were hurt while out. What kind of husband would he be if he can’t protect his wife?

“Many people bothered me at the market today. Some people are unfortunate stupid.” You replied.

“Perhaps you can tell me all about it in bed. I’ll make you some tea to help with the stress.” He took your hands as you both walked to the bedroom.

Kuai Liang is the kind of man you need in your life. If only the men at the market had his intelligence. Though you do like being cared for when there is any sign of distress from you. It makes you feel like a princess.

Tomas

To help train the Earthrealm champions is like trying to train a seal, a kangaroo, a bison, and a Komodo dragon to leap at least a meter out of the water. One will succeed, another will jump but not reach it, another one won’t try to jump, and the other will be too busy trying to mate with you.

They are all nice in their own way but Johnny is the worst of them all. You tell him you are happily married and it’s in one ear and out the other. Just because his marriage failed doesn’t mean yours has to.

Kenshi is alright he just has stubborn. He believes it’s nerves that wins fights. If that were true why does he keep failing to you. And when he is not going against you he’s going after Johnny’s throat. You get it, Johnny won’t give back Sento. But now is not the time to bust his ass.

Kung Lao just gets on everyone’s nerves. You have never seen a bunch of monks ready to implode and strangle someone. Don’t forget that you almost lost your head because he flung his hat in the wrong direction. All you got back was a small ‘sorry’ before he took his hat and ran off.

And Raiden…he’s fine. He’s done no wrong.

Yet no matter what you always have to return and help the fools. You give and give and what do you receive? Hell!

You are exhausted when you return home. You don’t talk to anyone you just go straight to your bedroom. You let out a groan the whole time and when the door closes you let that groan become words.

“I hate men.”

Tomas was already waiting for you in the bedroom. He was walking up to you to hug you until he heard those words. He looked concerned and even a little sad.

Well he’s a man, do you hate him? Did he do something wrong? He hopes he didn’t, he doesn’t want an unhappy wife.

Your attitude immediately went away at the sight of Tomas.

“…except you.”

You ran into his arms and hugged him tight. You could never hate a man like Tomas. He is your husband after all. You picked a good one compared to all the other men that you have seen.

“I’m guessing they upset you again.” He asked.

You nodded. The day is already over you don’t feel like talking about every single stupid thing that they did. Tomas understood and hugged you tight.

“Do you want me to beat them up?” He whispered jokingly in your ear.

For once today you laughed. He always manages to bring a smile to your face. You wish you could let him but that would be a bad decision. Though it’s funny to think about. He was just happy to hear that wonderful laugh of yours. It just shows that he’s a good man to you. He can turn a frown upside down and make you see the good in men. Or at least the good in him.

After notes: Can you tell I got pissed off with Kuai Liang’s part? That shits a little too true. Those instacart tik toks be crazy. Here’s a little experience of when I hated men: one didn’t take no for an answer for YEARS. He still can’t take no even from other girls. But most of the men I know are good. Alright enough yip yap I must march on. Adiós!

Our Universe Chapter 5: A New Friend! Pairing: Poly!OT8xoriginal chararters Rating: 18+ Word Count: 2,794 Words Warning: pet names, Hinting at GxG relationship, talk of possible pregnancy.

Previous Chapter -> Here

Arthur notes: Hello, Deary So we won't see much of the guys in this chapter but it going to start bringing in new people and other idols. I really hope y'all are enjoying this so far!

--------

I went to grab my purse out of the car as she locked the building up. The ride was quick with loud music. Yechan had left Dune in her office, saying that he would be fine and that she would pick him up after she was done.

the small talk was a little awkward but that should have been expected. For almost the year I have been together with the guys, I had only been around Yechan a few times. She has a room and office at the house but for whatever reason she doesn't live full time there. She might stay a night or two a week but she has an apartment inside the city limits.

Seonghwa had once told me that she had gotten together with Yunho when they were still in Secondary Education, Yunho was also close friends with Mingi in Secondary Education. The other relationship came together slowly and 6 years later it is what they have now. I honestly don't know what to call it.

I had never been in any kind of relationship like this, The level of trust that is needed for 10 people to all be together at the same time is outstanding. There were rules in place to help. Being honest and upfront about things, was the biggest rule. We were allowed to see people outside of our little circle, but most of their relationships don't last for one reason or another, most people don't like the idea of sharing I think.

Turning onto the road that takes you back to the main street square Yechan random started to laugh over the song she was previously singing. I turned and looked at her "You know, If you're not already on birth control you might want to get on some." She said still laughing, I just started at her my mouth gapping " Yunho was telling me last night that they have a bet going as to see who will get you pregnant first" I could feel my mouth drop You better close that Bunny or you'll catch a fly" She was laughing again

"Are you serious? I asked her not believing my ears. Yechan just nodded "You might want to bring it up to Yeosang, If you would like to get on something," She said pulling up to Rhea's Salon.

The Urban Glow Studio and Spa was a privately owned and run hair salon and spa that Rhea had built from the ground up. they offer a line of different services, Everything from normal hair cuts and dye jobs to Nails and full spa treatments. She was working two jobs when she brought it. Buying the cheapest building she could find, Gutted it, and then built it from the ground up. It was her dream to have this place.

Walking into the salon from the front door you're hit with the smell of watermelon and sea salt. It was an odd combination but it worked for her. Due to spending so much time here, that was what Rhea also smelled like at any given time.

Today she had her long burgundy colored hair pulled up to a might messy bun and top of her head, and was in her normal work 'uniform'. Black pants, a black shirt, and her black/white Mike shoes. She also had a blue and silver bracelet on her left wrist. Today she was wearing a purple holographic apron and had what looked like Hello Kitty bandaids on her fingers.

Rose the spa technician was wearing an identical outfit but with a knee-length skirt and was spinning around in one of the Unoccupied salon chairs, and the nail tech Hannah was sitting at her workstation currently working on a set of nails. I walked over to Hannah as Yechan walked over to Rhea "What are you doing" I asked sitting down in the green comfy chair placed in front of her desk

"I am currently constipating every choice in life I have ever made and deciding what bridge I'm going to jump off of," she said then took a sip of her yoo-hoo through the straw. I laughed at her "Someone must have given you a crazy order and offered so much money you couldn't say no?" I asked, Hannah just nodded never taking her eyes off the nail before her.

I leaned over the table to look at them. They almost had a catholic look to them, The base was white with a risen gold top and little green stones throughout. A little bit on the bolder side for me "That is insane" I said to Hannah, Not a moment later Rhea walked up to me holding a black container with a lid "Here" she said holding it out to me "Knowing you the only thing you have put in your stomach this morning is coffee" I smiled at her "You know me so well" I took the container from her as three different voices yelled my name "For shame on you" Rhea shook her head " The spa area is up and running if you want to go out there, You know where everything is" She throw her hand up as she walked away

Inside the container were chocolate and caramel drizzle apple slices, Turning back towards Hannah she shook her head, Opened a draw on her desk, and pulled out a pair of wooden chopsticks "Throw them away when you're done" Then she started back on the nail set.

I stood up and walked to the glass door in the back of the shop, passing the hidden stairwell up to the second floor. Upstairs is mainly used as storage but it does have a full-size studio apartment attached to it.

I pushed the door open heading outside. The back Spa was a nice little space. There was a small fire pit off to the left with four wooden chairs around it, A stone path that headed up to a large inground Spa hot tub, and the control panel next to it.

Walking over to the hot tub, I turned it on and then grabbed a towel to sit on from the sealed container that Rhea stores the outside towels in. I took my heels off the stuck my feet in the hot water.

The apples were fresh, the dish most likely made this morning by the staff to snack on. I grabbed my phone out of my bag. No missed calls or new messages.

I opened the messages between Yeosang and me as I thought about what Yechan said in the car. I am not ready for kids. I typed a quick message to Yeosang.

Ari 9:23 am - Are you busy?

I locked my phone and sat it down reaching to get another apple slice. Before the apple was in my mouth, my phone rang. I answered without checking who was calling.

"Bonjour Ari, je parle" (Hello Ari Speaking) I said pushing the bite of the apple to the side of my mouth "Doll, Je ne savais pas que tu connaissais le francais" (Doll, I didn't know you knew french) It was Yeosang, I could hear the smile in his voice as well as loud voices in the background.

"I know the basics, but I need to practice it more," I told him leaning back on my right arm "I am more than happy to help you" He officered " but what's going on, I thought you were with Yechan today?" He asked, I could hear the light tone of concern in his voice.

"I am, I just have a quick question for you," I told him lightly kicking my feet in the hot tub. "I was thinking about maybe starting birth control, "I told him "Is that something you could give me?" I asked "Unfortunately it's not, I do have a good friend here that I would trust you to see. Would you like me to set up the appointment for you" he officered " I think so," I told him

"ok, I'll set it up and send you the time and date, But Ari. Are you ok?" he asked I could hear him moving now along with a door opening "I'm OK, I was just talking to Yechan and it got me thinking is all" He sighed "She told you about the bet didn't she?" He asked " I told them it was stupid" He muttered quickly "She did" I wasn't going to lie to him

One of the biggest rules was no secrets within the family " It just got me thinking, Yeo I'm not ready to have kids" I told him, He chuckled a little bit I honestly don't think any of us are" Yeosang replied. "But that's perfectly fine, it's your choice. None of us will force you into anything" He told me, I could feel the relief flooding my body. I wasn't sure if it would be a deal breaker for any of them.

"I do have to let Hongjoong know about your appointment. You know the 'when and where', the rest is up to you" He added I could almost see his soft smile " I do need to get back to work, But I'll call Chungha and set everything up for you. Love you" He said and then was off the phone. I do feel better now, I wonder what is going to be done at the appointment.

I closed the container and just sat there in peace for a minute, not worrying about anything. After a while, I ended up lying down on my back, with my feet still in the water. I closed my eyes.

"Ari" I could hear a voice calling but it sounded far away "Ari" It called again but louder this time. I opened my eyes.

Standing above me was Rose, with her perfectly long strawberry blonde dyed hair pulled back in a half updo, loose curls falling over her shoulder. A black bow sat at the back of her head, holding the hair in place. Her dark brown almost black eyes blinked at me slowly, showing off her perfect eye lineer. She always looks so effortlessly flawless and feminine.

"Yechan is almost done, If you want to come back inside. We ordered pizza too." she told me holding a towel. After drying my feet off I put my heels back on following her down the walkway back into the shop.

Walking back into the hair salon at the same time the front glass door opened. I didn't pay any mind to the door and went over to Yechan "What do you think?" She asked, I picked up a stand and played with the end. It was still so soft "It fits you" I smiled at her and looked back over to Rhea for a second and then back to Yechan. "It should, It's my natural color," She said with a sad smile

Yunho had told me once that Yechan had normally kept red in her hair but having to get it touched up every so many weeks was bad for the hair, It was slowly liking her hair. " Just because it's your natural color doesn't mean it's the best look for you." I smiled placing my hand on her shoulders and looked at her in the mirror. Yechan gave me a funny look "Ari" she started but was cut off by a guy calling "Pizza!"

Turning to the guy, corrected two guys. The guy holding the pizza boxes looked like Rhea, He looked a little bit on the dorky side with his fluffy black hair and big happy smile, the same smile Rhea gets when she gets on a kick about something she is passionate about.

He was wearing denim overalls over a black shirt. The shirt had some kind of pink writing but I couldn't tell what it said, along with plain red converses.

The guy standing next to him was looking over at Yechan and me, Rhea turned toward us as well "Bros, this is my brother Seungmin and his friend Jisung," she told us Her brother Seungmin had already turned around but the friend was still looking at us.

Jisung was strangely beautiful in an effortless way. He was sporting dirty blond hair over a black shirt with spiderwebs and pink wringing on one side of the chest and an odd shade of jeans, they looked both blue and pink at the same time. His face was bare with wire-rim glasses low on his nose.

Yechan next to me now had the flat iron trying to curl a little piece of hair in the front, It didn't want to cooperate with her already curly hair. "Here let me," I said taking the iron from her, Yechan handed it over without a fight.

Picking the piece up to start curling it, the friend of Rhea's brother walks over to us. He rubbed his hands on the front of his pants, nervously. I raised an eyebrow to him " The color looks really good on you. Makes your green eyes pop" He was flirting with her openly, It was very cute "Un ha" Yechan just looked at him a little bit suspiciously. I told her I was done.

Turning the flat iron off and sitting it down on the cooling pad I walked over to Rhea, She quickly sat her her phone down. Almost slamming it onto the counter. "You ok" I asked her, She was as white as a ghost. "I'm fine, It was just a weird email" she stated and then smiled "Pizza?" She asked holding out a small plate.

There was a chicken Alfredo with bell pepper, A Hawaiian style with ham, bacon, and bell pepper on it. Another was pepperoni and Italian sausage with green olives and extra cheese on what looked like a pan crust, Then a classic pepperoni and cheese pizza.

The two boys laughed at themselves after opening all the boxes. "What" Yechan asked the blonde boy next to her. He stumbled slightly, Looking at her. Jisung eyes went the size of dinner plates. "Just thinking about a friend of ours that strongly believes that pineapple doesn't go on pizza" Jisung stated running his hand through his hair "Or burgers" Seungmin added laughing.

As it should be" another voice added coming through the door. The guy who entered was about the same height as Seonghwa, He had narrow dark eyes. Wearing navy blue dress pants, a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and black dress shoes.

He walked up to Jisung " I need some help with these packages" He grabbed his arm then started back to the door, Jisung pulled at his arm playfully "No I don't want to help, They have Pizza!" he whined throwing his arm towards us"Sammy the pizza!" Jisung fake cried. "Too bad" and 'Sammy' pulled Jisung out the shop door. For a few moments after the door closed you could hear Jisung whine about how hungry he was. Yechan laughed, I looked at her "What, That was funny" she shrugged picking up a slice of pizza and taking a bite of the pepperoni and sausage pizza.

Rhea was picking at her pizza. Seungmin was giving her a questioning look, as was I. "Are you ok?" We asked at the same time. She looked back and forth between us for a second. "I'm fine, just not hungry" She shrugged her shoulders, The spaghetti starp falling. I gave Seungmin a funny look. Neither of us believed her, Something was off. But I trusted my friend, If something was wrong she would tell me.

After about 30 minutes of sitting around the 'Waiting room' talking I could feel myself getting antsy, I started to poke Yechan's shoulder as she was standing next to me.

After about six pokes Yechan took a deep breath "Bunny, I swear to the gods above if you don't stop poking me and tell me what you want, I'm going to pin you to the wall next to you" I yipped, "Will you go with me to the new dress shop? I asked her, Not able to meet her face. I could feel her lean in close.

"Maybe if you asked nicely," She said softly next to my ear. I hid my face in my hands, trying to cover the blush now covering it. "Yechan laughed "I'm just messing with you," She said placing her hand on my shoulder "Of course, I'll go with you," She squeezed my shoulder then let it go.

"Thank you for the new color Rhea, It's great as always" Yechan stands up. I followed her towards the door "I'll message you later" I told Rhea heading out to door behind Yechan.

Journal Entry #3

What else is there to do late at night other than rearranging your room? I spent last night making a house a home, and the layout is definitely unique. My room has three mattresses: One on the bed frame where I sleep, and two stacked on top of each other. At home, my mattress is on the floor, so I decided to pull this one off the bed frame and onto the floor as well. In which I discovered that the bed frame has a solid wood foundation that is the exact same height as the mattress. So I'm using it as a really large desk/floor that I can study on. Unfortunately, I can't really do anything about the other two mattresses since they are being stored in my room, so they are right beside my mattress acting as sofa (I'm leaning against it as I'm writing this). I'm pretty sure my room is 2/3 mattress and 1/3 floor, but hey, I like it. I also got gifted an old espresso maker, so that's sitting in my kitchen waiting to be used. Frankly, I'm a bit scared to use it as I didn't have the specific cleaner, just good ol' hot soapy water, but I'll be fine (probably?). I have yet to buy espresso beans though.

Today was a holiday, so I didn't have school! Instead, I went to the ocean and fished. It was quite disastrous. Here's a list of all the things that went wrong:

The hooks kept getting stuck to rocks and various other sea things

As I casted, the weight got untied from the rod so I yeeted the weight and hooks across the ocean (I wasn't the one that tied it, therefore, not my fault)

Someone accidentally dropped the net part of the net into the water and we had to fish it out

Someone accidentally dropped the pole part of the net into the water and we had to fish it out

As I casted again, the weight disappeared. Like, I casted forward, but nothing happened because the weight wasn't on anymore. It didn't go into the water, it wasn't behind me, I didn't hear it drop, it just disappeared. The knot on the rod's line was still intact too. Tis a mystery

The fish kept swallowing the hooks

However, I did have a lot of fun and I did catch a fish in the end. it was a multicolourfin rainbowfish. I named him 수박 which is watermelon in Korean because his skin was light green with dark green squiggles like the outside of a watermelon, and he had pink spots all over. I'm pretty proud of myself not only because I caught a fish, but because I cut up the sandworms and stuck them on the hooks. These worms have legs, fangs, a lot of blood n' guts, and are pretty big.

I also had a nap for the first time since coming here. It was definitely a well deserved nap, since I couldn't remember falling asleep nor what year it was. It was also pretty hot in the morning, so that could have tired me out. I got a bit of a sunburn on my arms and legs, but it's not too bad. Of course when I woke up and looked outside, it was rainy and windy. I had looked earlier at the forecast for today and saw that it was supposed to rain, so I was confused when I woke up this morning and saw blue skies and sunshine. In the end, I just had to be right.

Studying has been going well, I used the whole afternoon (after my nap) and evening to just study and go through what I have learned. It's still a bit difficult to remember when to use the proper grammar and structuring sentences while speaking but I'm determined to become fluent.

And He said to them, Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Matthew 4:19

[trivialbob]

Today I didn't work. So I had time for a little motorcycle trip.

First I stopped at Minnesota's Largest Candy Store, a little south of the Twin Cities area in the city of Jordan. Not only does this place boast the state's largest selection of candy, it also claims giant selections of soda pop, puzzles, and chips. Oh, and as you will notice, the largest application of yellow paint in the state.

When I first got inside my ears were pelted with "Mom! Mom! Mom! Dad! Mom! Look at this! I want... I want... I want... Mom! Mom!"

Yet another store that needs an adult swim hour.

A big selection of pies, homemade sauces, pastas, and such, the sort of things you might give as gifts, lines shelves. There is plenty of beef jerky and sticks. All sorts of decorations and non-edible things are there to look at too.

Seeing all that candy gave me a sweet tooth. I bought a bunch, then ate as much as a 9-year-old on Halloween night would consume before coming home and paying the daddy tax. At my house the daddy tax used to be red (cherry, not strawberry or watermelon) flavored pieces of assorted candy of my choosing.

Today I wanted all the sour candy, like Zotz. My tongue hurts now from all the fizzy stuff I ate. Those Sour Smog Balls were tasty. I'm glad I later gave the box to Jack (after having a few samples), otherwise I surely would have finished it all today and made myself sick.

After the candy store I went to Schmidt's Meat Market, in the small town of Nicollet (pop. 1200). The town is really small, the shop is really good.

I bought a NY strip steak for dinner tonight. That wasn't all. They have my favorite meat sticks, ones that have great flavors and the perfect ratio of moistness (little) to dryness (a bit more).

I also got a huge stick of summer sausage. The woman helping me asked if I wanted it sliced. I hemmed and hawed, trying to decide. Sliced would be convenient, but it's such a large stick I want to leave it whole to stay at peak freshness.

She smiled at my indecision and nicely offered, "You know what I can do, I'll cut in in half. I'll wrap the unsliced half in paper, and put the slices of the other half in a plastic bag."

Ingenious!!!!

From the meat shop it's a 20-25 minute drive to Jack's house. The route is mostly wide-open back roads, with no traffic and no cops. You do smell the "agriculture" though. My motorcycle stretched its legs, within reason. Its MPG average also decreased significantly too.

At Jack's house I hung out with him, Ali, and their dogs Lily and Luca. I gave Jack some of the meat sticks and also a gift box of cinnamon roll ingredients I picked up at the candy store. He also got the box of Sour Smog Balls and promptly offered me one of the cherry-flavored pieces!

Excuse me now. I need to go brush my teeth a few times.

[pbandjesse]

Today was a much better day. It was very busy but it was a lot better. Emotionally physically. And it wasn't as hot which I think helped.

I slept okay last night but it was not enough sleep and I woke up very dizzy. Thankfully halfway through the day I started to feel more like myself. But I was just a zombie. I was honestly a little worried about driving. But James got me up and I got dressed and I was okay. I just was a little unsettled by everything and just wanted to get to work so I could close my eyes. Driving was really tough.

But James sent me off with instructions to be safe and I wouldn't have a terrible drive. I was just so tired. And a little worried that I was struggling to keep my eyes open so much.

But I made it to camp at 7:55. And I went right to arts and crafts. There wasn't a time for me to set up but I did what I needed to do and I laid in my hammock and just scrolled on my phone for a bit. I was so tired. Honestly I probably should have closed my eyes but I was afraid that I would fall asleep and not wake up. So I just enjoyed being in my hammock and how nice and cool it was.

And it was pretty cool. I was able to wear my button-down shirt that I like to wear at camp and I would be in a better mood once the kids got to me. I did take a little walk to use the bathroom and just stayed in my spaces today.

I was not going to cry today. I was going to have a nice day. And I did have a nice day. The kids were also wonderful. So far I have just had excellent group after excellent group. And that is awesome.

I had my pioneer boys in woodland boys in the morning and they were super fun. It was funny seeing what they decided to make. The older the kids get the more awkward I feel when giving my instructions but I tried very hard to stay on script and make all my same jokes. Nurse Joan and Mirren were there for my intro and they had not seen my spiel and speech before. And they got to hear about the seven things we don't talk about at camp. Officially it is I think five things but we always say "These are the things we don't talk about at camp. 1. People you like. 2. People you don't like. 3. Politics. 4. Prayer. 5. Payment. 6. Profanity. (And then I added) 7. Private parts one. And 8. Private parts too. Which got a huge laugh every time.

I was having a great morning though and it was nice to be able to work on my knitting and hang out with the kids and talk and just feel like things were a little bit more normal.

I would get a lot of feedback about things that were and we're not working in the schedule. Honestly everyone just feels like there's too many programs. And I don't disagree it's a lot. And there's not enough just open free time and I think that we really should consider having some of the unit programs be optional because we are just overloading these kids. But not even just the children the kids. The counselors the kids. Because they're all like 17 18 19 20. There are ones that are older but there are so many of them that are just exhausted. And it's only day two. We feel two weeks in and it's less than 48 hours since Camp started. It's too much and I really hope that we can figure something out for next week.

So after my second program I went to the office with my watermelon and cornbread to eat my lunch while I tried to start working that out. First thing figured out that youth camp has no feel time at all. Oops. So I found three spots where they could have it over the week. And then I would work on just thinking about how we could cut some programs to consolidate and give us some wiggle room. And I thought I might have some ideas for later so I would just work on that best I could for that hour and then ate my lunch and just tried to remain positive.

I did not drink enough water today. I really should have brought my new purple mug with me because that for some reason is really helping me drink water. But I remained hydrated still even if it wasn't with straight water. And it wasn't as hot so it didn't feel as crazy imperative. But I know I will feel better if I drink more water.

The afternoon was a lot because I had four programs in a row back to back to back. But because the kids have been so good and they really like this project it was super easy and calm for me. I had my two day camps, then I had the oldest girls, and then I had horse camp. And it was just such a nice time.

Day camptown was very funny because all they wanted to do was make projects about brands and companies. Like one child made a Tesla cyber truck and two girls made Sephora and one made Ulta. I also had McDonald's, a Burger King, a Walmart, and a Target. It was very funny. And everyone just seemed really like it. I also just really enjoyed talking to the counselors and I was having just a really nice day.

The oldest girls were super easy and they wanted to paint and make bracelets and hang out and I was totally fine with that. And we were just chilling having a nice time. And then when horses came up they were so sweet and they did the project that I planned and seemed to really like it. A lot of kids have left their work behind because I'm going to put them all together to make a big mural tapestry thing and I think that that will be very cool for them to see some of their work all put together and hung up. Honestly I would love to hang it somewhere else besides the art building mostly cuz I'm running out of wall space but I'll figure something out. Even if it has to go in the rafters.

At the end of horse camps program I was so excited that we were all going to the pool. It wasn't really hot enough that I wanted to fully fully swim. Mostly cuz I didn't want to wash my hair. But I would leave them and run down to peeps to get changed. Callie had decorated her side a little bit more and it looks very sweet. She put a whole bunch of stuff on our bookshelf and it just looks so lived in and I love it. It did remind me that I forgot to bring another pillow. But I will be fine tonight I'm sure. Maybe tomorrow I'll go and figure out procuring another pillow. But I quickly got changed and filled my little shower bag and went to the pool.

I will put on sunscreen once I got down there and Katerina made a big fuss about how good it smelled. Because I only use one brand of spray sunscreen and it smells like toasted coconuts and it's beautiful. And then I went and sat in the cove and just enjoyed watching the kids and being in the water even if I wasn't swimming swimming. I was just really happy.

Eventually though I decided to go and sit with some adults. And chatted with Mirren and a couple other people that are new that I don't have their names down yet all the way. But everyone seemed like they were in a good mood and were willing to talk to me about changes in the schedule and things that could be better and I just have to keep reminding everyone but also myself that I have no emotional ties to these programs. They are not arts and crafts. And if they change that's okay. And I am totally down with changing them I just need people to tell me what they want changed and what we're going to do. I want everyone to have a really good summer. That's all I ever want. So hopefully we can figure out a better way as we move forward.

I would go and take a shower and put my mostly dirty clothes back on so I could walk back to my cabin. I got changed once I got down here and felt really nice. I laid down for a half an hour and watched a video and then it was time for dinner.

I wasn't entirely sure how dinner was running this year and it looks like they're doing a girls line and a boy's line which I think is really funny. But I'm glad they have a plan. I joined Blanche's group because I didn't know what we were doing. And we had enchiladas for dinner and it was really good. I would take my enchilada vegetarian meal and get sour cream and more cheese and some lettuce and then I went to go sit down by the pioneer fire pit where there's a picnic table because I decided that wall I am a little lonely sometimes I really do enjoy my own company and I really just wanted to sit and eat alone and not have to pretend that I wanted to hold a conversation because it's entirely too loud in the lodge and I just wasn't feeling it. Not saying that I don't want to hang out with people because I love hanging out with my friends and coworkers here but I definitely needed some time alone after how crazy today was.

Tony would come down and chat with me for a moment but mostly I was left alone. I read my book a little bit. I scrolled on my phone a little bit. And when I finished eating I went back up to tell the chefs how much I liked it. I had a really silly conversation with one of them and we were standing there in Charlotte's like hey I heard we're having tres leches for dinner and I was like excuse me that's one of my favorite cakes. And we were like you're spoiling us You're going to make us fat. And he goes well you know what they say fat and happy. And he's right. I'm just really excited that's so far the food has been excellent at every meal and I don't feel like I have to cry at lunch.

I would go back to the office after that though and after a quick stop over to chat with Tony again about some ideas I had for consolidating the schedule I would go and talk to alexian Heather. I insisted on giving both of them a hug because I felt like we all needed the support in that moment. And then I spent like an hour going over the schedule and I moved some stuff around and I think that I've made some positive changes and I'm hoping that everyone can look at it and give some feedback or make some decisions before I make any other major changes. I think that we're going in a good direction but we are definitely figuring it out as we go.

Finally though I decided that I had to be done for the night. Around 7:50 I walked up to arts and crafts and filled up my water and got a snack and came down to my cabin.

I think I probably would have enjoyed the evening program tonight. They had someone come in with big lizards. But I just could not focus on that and I think that me working in the office made more sense. And now I'm just enjoying sitting down by the pond and CJ is not here yet. She's going to come back around 10:00 apparently. It's her birthday today and I'm glad that she took the day off because she deserves that. And I'm just going to go and watch a documentary and eat my little snack of caramel rice cakes. And drink some water.

I hope you are all drinking water. Being better than me. And I hope you sleep really good tonight. Tomorrow is one of my shorter days and I hope that it is really nice. And I hope that you all have a great day. Even if it rains. I hope that you feel really good. Good night everybody.

A couple moments from me and my bff/adopted twin when we were rewatching pokemon movies earlier today. (Arceus and the jewel of life specifically)

Put under the cut so it doesn’t take up anyone’s dash

*”those are our watermelons!””we were cooling them down at the river”*

Me : -pauses- okay who the FUCK cools down watermelons?! THEIR WATERMELONS. THEIR NOT ON FIRE

Twin : take them out of the water and they just combust

Me : It makes NO SENSE

Twin : what are they trying to do, make WATER watermelons

*Dialga and Giratina start fighting*

Twin : its dialgas turn to get his ass beat

(We had just finished watching rise of darkrai)

*also said during the battle*

Twin : Giratina's the most reasonable, considering their PokeSatan

Me : Giratina's never even been antagonistic, even in the games. PLA was mostly Volo

Twin : *-noises of agreement-*

*Plot explanation about the dimensions*

Me : So Dialga and Palkia are fighting cause their rooms smashed into each other. That's fair

Twin : Don't you just hate it when your room smashes into your siblings room?

*arceus talking at anytime during the movie*

Me : oh god its so bad

Twin : he doesn’t sound even remotely like a god

We both wind up dissolving into laughter whenever he speaks

*Arceus shows up for the first time*

Twin : DADS BACK WITH THE MILK

Me : *-wheezes-*

Twin : HE GOT THE MILK *-laughs-*

Me : yeah he did. Only took him. Couple thousand years *-continues wheezing-*

*arceus beating up giratina, palkia, and dialga*

Twin : child abuse

Me : I- I MEAN. I GUESS

*At some point during an Arceus scene(I think...)*

Twin : Giratina really is just the tired older sibling Me : yeah he kinda is. Dad just left him to babysit his siblings for a thousand years while he went and took a nap Twin : thats just basic Dad behavior

*Arceus leaving in the past after being 'betrayed'*

Twin : He's gotta go get the milk Me : -snickers- yeah. gotta take a thousand year nap to get that milk.

*Ash and co. get captured* Me : ah yes, just yeet the children in jail. that makes sense.

*Arceus leaving at the end of the movie*

Me : and there he goes, leaving Giratina to babysit their younger siblings again.

Twin : he's gonna get more milk.

Me : probably for another thousand years.

...so as anyone can probably tell, Giratina is one of our favorites LMAO

There was a lot more shit said that dissolved into laughter, but I can't quite remember it now, so eh XD

Genmuiweek day5 prompt ‘After the war.’💜💙

If u dont like the ship(boyxboy)then DNI! Note: Genmui lived AU

It has been quite some time after the war has ended, but Muzan was long gone. Nezuko has returned to being human and the Demon Slayer Corps was disbanded. Everything was at peace. It was finally over. The war was over.

Genya and Muichiro surprisingly survived the fight against Upper One. Eve since they had the time, they were together and soon, they started a relationship. At first, Sanemi wasn’t fond of it, but he just wanted the best for his brother. They’ve grown together and after a few years, they eventually got married aswell. As of right now they are growing fruits and Muichiro is cutting wood for a living. It was one of the days where one of them would have to go to town, and sell their goods. Both of them would cling to the other which would cause this to be a very long process. Today, Muichiro was the one who left.

After around of 15minutes walking he finally got to the market area. The two always had a small stall where they would put their things for sale. Muichiro set down the fruit in some smaller baskets, and there was a holder for the wood.

The day went by quickly, as many people bought some fruits, and some bought the wood. Thankfully all the wood that was on sell had been sold, and there were only a bit of fruits. Muichiro also met his friend, Tanjiro who was just looking around for some stuff. They had a nice talk for quite some while, catching up with the other.

It was dark outside when Muichiro returned from town, as he entered the house, he and his husband owned together. “Hey Genya, I’m back!” He yells out, loud enough for him to hear, and soon enough he hears footsteps, and a moment later he is in a tight embrace with his lover. “Welcome back Mui! How did things go?” He asked with curiosity, as a bright smile creeped on his face. “It was great, and there’s not much fruit left, so we can use those later. Don’t worry, we still have some watermelon, I know how much you like them.” He says as he pats his partner’s head a bit at the last part, patiently waiting for an answer. “Mhm..well I made your favourite for tonight, so I hope you’ll enjoy!” He says as he takes the smaller man’s hand, rubbing it a bit before leading his husband to the dining area of course.

They’ve finished with everything for today, and they have already gotten ready to rest. It was a warm night, with a slight breeze, the moonlight shining through the window. There, on the bed were two lovers cuddling. Genya laying down on the bed, Muichiro laying ontop of him, his face crooked into the other’s neck, as both were tired from everything they did today. Genya’s hands gently wrapped around his lover’s back, as he rubbed small circles, the other feeling quite tired, feeling like he was about to fall asleep. Before he did so, he kissed his husband’s face a few times, as he laid his back in the crook of his partner’s neck. Genya felt more comfortable and tired aswell, and so, after a few moments the both of them were fast asleep.

It was a beautiful day, the sun shown bright. Birds sang on the trees and some others flew free all over the place. Some clouds decorated the sky.

The alarm clock rang. Pentagon closed it. He blinked a few times. He stretched and looked outside the window. Then he stared at the ceiling a couple of minutes before getting up. He washed his face, brushed his teeth and fixed his fluffy curly hair.

He went to the kitchen and kissed his wife (who woke up a few minutes ago) in the cheek "Buenos Dias mi amor!" he said, Luna/Lola smiled "Buenos Días  cariño". She prepared breakfast. While he poured two cups of coffee and boiled milk for his daughter.

Luna/Lola cut some cake and prepared and finished making breakfast. "Honey, Helen asked me to go for a coffee. It's a beautiful day you could do something with Ami. After all she will spent some more time with you! What do you say?" she asked.

He replied "I was thinking of going to that place a little below our home close to the lake. So yeah have fun!" he smiled. She smiled back.

Soon Amanda came  and hugged her parents. Pentagon lifted her from the ground and gave her a hug along with a kiss on her cheek.

"Ami I was thinking of going to the lake today what do you say? The two of us! " Amanda smiled and lifted her hands up "Siiiii!! Si! si! si!". She smiled big. Penta smiled as well "Eat first and then we will go!" she nodded. He put her down and happily sat down to eat her breakfast.

Later they got dressed took some snacks and went to the car. He started the car and drove for around 15-20 minutes.

Amanda was happily singing all the way to the destination while seeing the trees and landscape. When they arrived she ran towards the huge tree close to the river.

"Cuidado!" he shouted slightly. She stopped and looked at him. When he reached her, she took his hand and both walked. They sat down under a huge tree cherry tree.

They looked around. The trees stood tall, the river flowed gently, the lake was crystal clear.

Amanda played by the grass Pentagon kept his eyes on her.  Amanda's eyes fell on a small clover that was close to the flowers she was gathering. She leaned down and gently cut it. She examined it for a while and ran back to her father.

Penta saw his daughter playing in the flowers looking at the butterflies and singing happily. He also saw her coming towards him. He opened his arms and she happily hugged him.

"What you got there mi princesa?"

"Papa mira a clover! this is for you! It even matches with the drawing (tattoo) you have on your forearm ". she said cheerfully.

Penta smiled and showed her his tattoo, "could you please remind me what you told me about clovers?" she asked. He looked at her and said "They say its good luck" she put it his hand and said "Then have it for good luck papa!"

Pentagon took it carefully and put it in his pocket

"¡Gracias mi hermosa princesa!" he said. He smiled and kissed his daughter's cheek.

"You want a snack?" he asked. She nodded. He gave her some fruits. She took a piece of watermelon 🍉 and gave it to her father. He took some cherries 🍒 and gave them to her. They ate and talked about nature, animals etc.

After a while at the lake she saw a family of ducks, two adults and four ducklings.

She said "Dad look ducks!" he took her close and gave her something to feed them. Penta gently took one of the ducklings and Amanda petted it gently.

He let go of it and the little duckling went close to its family. Amanda was holding another duckling and let it go as well. As she saw the duckings going to its parents, she did the same.

The duck family saw them and in their way thanked them for the food. They looked around them and flew away. "Bye beautiful ducks!" she said waving at them from her father's arms. He hugged her close and kissed her forehead.

"would you like some water?" he asked. She nodded. He went close to the river and cupped his hands and brought them close to her face so she could drink. She drunk and wanted to do the same.

He held her from her waist so she won't fall in the water. She cupped her hands and attempted to gather some water. Even tho her hands were smaller than her father's she managed to gather some water. "Papa drink" she said cheerfully. He leaned closer and drank "Gracias" he said.

Soon they could see the sun hiding behind the enormous mountains. She smiled while she was at his arms. The sunset was beautiful.

After that he drove home, Amanda was happily sleeping in the back seat with her father's jacket all over her. When they arrived he took her gently in his arms, ascended the stairs and tenderly laid her on bed. He kissed her cheek "Buenas noches mi princesa!" he caressed her dark hair. She smiled at her sleep.

He tiptoed out of the room. He removed the clover from his pocket and looked at it and smiled softly. He walked towards the bedroom and Yolanda looked at him. "Well, how was it? You had fun?" she asked. He nodded "Yeah it was amazing! She gave me this clover for good luck!" he said smiling. She smiled back "Aaww!" he put his pyjamas and laid next to her.

From that day and on he always kept that little clover inside his wallet or pocket.

🍀The end ❤️

Hello hello!

No garden post today, but I wanted to share some things I'm doing in the kitchen. After all, if the gardens producing then I need to be able to use and preserve things 🌱 as well, One of the things I've been learning along my sustainable/eco-journey is how to make food stretch better for my family. I like to think I've been pretty good at that over the years but with learning to grow my own crops as well as inflation hikes, i wanted to learn more.

This week I was researching ways to use up watermelons entirely. Surprisingly enough, I found that the rind and the skin are edible as well!

Usually I give what we don't eat to the chickens (the rind/green part) as a way to give them extra feed sources and to reduce my homes green/kitchen waste going out. Im not worried about them missing out though, With the way we eat watermelon they will still certainly still be able to enjoy the bounty melons provide.

This time I'm trying out some food use from a tiktok I found while doom scrolling the other day. The user morocooks, shared a video with uses of watermelon. This included a recipe on making watermelon rind kimchi. Now I enjoy myself some kimchii, it's good for the gut, delicious in soups, stir fry, as is and even blended into bbq sauce. But I've never tried kinchi that wasn't cabbage or onion. I've also never made it before either, so this will be a first on a few levels!

I didn't take a picture of the watermelon, but imagine a big watermelon 😉 to start I used salt and water to scrub down the exterior pretty well and gave it a good rinse after.

I peeled, sliced and cut the melon up. The flesh went in the fridge for dessert and snacks over the next few days and then came the usual waste/chicken scraps. The rind and the skin.

I peeled the skinoff, discarding the funky spots in the scrap bucket and then blended the watermelon skin with some water till smooth to make cubes for smoothie additives.

A lil online slouthing showed that Watermelon peels are low in calories, but are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium and zinc. And everyone can always use some more vitamins~

So far ive been mixing the melonskin w/ plain Greek yogurt, and some frozen fruit.

I did not blend the skins smooth enough, so definatly be sure their smoooooth! Or there's going to be a bit of texture that while I can get through, might be off putting for others.

The rind, cut up and salting.

A little internet slouthing says that Watermelon rind has high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium and zinc. Watermelon rind is also rich in nutrients with chlorophyll, citrulline, lycopene, amino acids and flavonoids, phenolic compounds and fiber.

I also found out some folks use the rind in stirfrys???? I am going to give a try with the next batch! I admit possible curiosity as to wanting to attempt a 'sloppy joe' with watermelon rind too.

The sauce/seasoning.

All mixed and ready for the fridge! I did add some ribboned carrots and sliced white onion. (Leftovers from meal prep this week)

Admittingly I've never had fresh or varied veggies for kimchi before, so I'm not sure if this will get a similar taste profile. So far (day 3) it smells pretty good. The taste is a bit, different. I expected that, and look forward to seeing the flavor develop.

A few other things I did over the last few days was to freeze up some blueberries while their in season at the market.

I like to wash them up (cold water and baking soda ratio is 2 c water to 1 teaspoon baking soda. Let set 15 minutes. Stir every 5 gently. Rinse well.)

Dry them out on a towel on a baking sheet, then freeze them. Usually overnight.

when frozen pull up towel and funnel into freezer safe containers. I use a ziplock bag, but will reuse them till the bag is basically useless. Though when I'm able to I want to switch to a silicone bag or freezer glass.

I did the same as well with starberries (though I like to slice them into quarters for easier use later!) And cherries. (Pit them before freezing.) If I had thought about it I would have made some cherry pit vinegar for sauce, but due to time restraints I was just trying to move along quickly.

Today I'm cooking up some spaghetti squash for the freezer for quick meals s well. That's not done yet, but perhaps later I'll do a seperate post for that alone if anyone interested. :)

I hear the oven, so for now i'll have to head off-

🌱🍉Happy homesteading and sustainable journeys! 🍉🌱

alright, let me share all the details of my day with you but I have to admit, it wasn't anything extraordinary, it was just packed rip to my social battery. I was constantly on the move since 7 in the morning, doing so much paperwork and interacting with different people, which left me feeling a bit exhausted haha now I’m very happy to be home in my room in cozy pj’s 😇

the weather today was SOO hot and sunny, normally, I enjoy the sunshine, but being under it makes me stressed about my skin aging with every passing second thank goodness for sunscreen

under the sun, my sister’s friends and I managed to plan a surprise party for her upcoming birthday the upcoming week. let’s see how that will go. later, I met up with my friends to barbecue while watching the champions league. oh, and I learned something new today: one of my friends made a "salad" using grilled watermelon (specifically the white part, I know, sounds weird) but it surprisingly tasted good (I was very skeptical at first) for anyone curious, I recommend giving it a try, it's like a combination of the taste of cucumber and grilled zucchini/eggplant (don't forget to add a bunch of seasoning)

and yeah, that’s it. now your turn, how was your day? what did you eat? what did you drink? 💕I hope no one got on my andra bb's nerves today 😒 

under the cut cause this is longggg hahaha

omg that sounds like a very busy day, i'm so proud of you, but also feel for your social battery cause mine drains really quickly irl and then i need 3-5 business days to recover. the weather in the uk is also horrendously hot for the uk and the houses here (and the rest of the uk) don't do well with heat, so i'm in pain, sipping on frozen margaritas hahahha.

the surprise party plans sound sooo nice, i'm so excited to hear how that will go, so keep me updated <3 also i'm cravinggg a barbeque, i haven't had a proper one in so long, back home my dad used to always make me bbq when i visited my grandma, but i haven't been home for summer in a long time unfortunately :( i've heard about the watermelon thing before, but haven't tried it, and now am vv curious and will let you know as soon as i try ittt

my day started with me going to university on a saturday, which i hate. there's one more week of the study that basically has basically ruined every aspect of my life lol, and until then i'm under constant stress bc of it. fortunately, i finished my job in about 2 stressful hours, and then i went to the cafe i always go to and wrote for a few hours, which was really nice. i had a normal latte, 2 ice lattes, an iced tea from starbucks, three frozen margaritas, and a lot of water hahahah. i ate a smoked salmon bagel for breakfast, and this thai chicken/broccoli stirfry we make with peanut butter sauce which is delishhh for lunch/dinner. i also went swimming today and broke my record for most calories burned swimming, which was a nice surprise.

that was my day my love xx thank you for asking <3 ilysmmm

I loved you first, but you’re not the last

“....You’re special so it requires extra effort. Happy Valentines and happy first day of being a couple,”

Pairing: Mark Lee x female!reader

Genre: Angst, SMUT, fluff, childhood best friends to lovers

WC: 4,588k

Warnings: Fake dating, break up,swearing, mentions or other idol, reader x Taeyong in the end, Taeyong as Mark’s brother, unprotected sex, virginity loss, a lot of making out, mentions of making out, touching, a small amount of dirty talking, oral sex (female receiving), overstimulation

A/N: NOT PROOFREAD. I’ll fix it once I get my internet connection back. Gosh I hope this posts. Part of Request Party

It was in the middle of the night when you received a call that did not just woke you up, but also woke your whole being. Body, mind and soul.

“You’re back?” crankily you sat up from bed, scratching your heavy eyes and about to get out of bed because the person on the other line is right outside your house, waiting for you.

He has been away and gone for too long because of college... and you should be excited as you go downstairs to meet him, but you know why he’s here and it’s no good news. Let’s face it, this night will not end nice.

“Here goes nothing,” you murmured. Wrapping yourself with your thick jacket before you finally step outside.

And the moment you opened the door, snow was falling and you didn’t miss how the snow landed peacefully on Mark’s eyelashes. Eyes looking straight to you, those sad eyes that can’t hide the pain that he’s holding. A pain that you caused.

You wanted to finally reunite first with a hug, but he got ahead of you and took your chance to show him how much you missed him.

“How could you?” he started, eyes still locked on yours. “I thought we were going to wait and do it right- how could you date my brother while I was away?”

Even you find it cruel. What you did to Mark was cruel, selfish, and unforgivable. And truth be told, you don’t have the right words now. You wanted to explain of course, but you’re scared it might break him even more. “I love your brother,” you said softly. Not even brave enough to look him in the eye because you feel bad.

“You loved me first,” he bite back. And you can’t help but be weak in front of him and cry. Usually whenever you cry, he will walk towards you and remind you how much you mean to him. But you guess not tonight, maybe you don’t deserve love tonight.

“You left me, remember?” you dried your tears and tried being brave even just for a short period. Just until you have the guts to walk away.

“Whatever. It’s not yet too late. Choose me. Marry me. Let me make you happy,”

He finally said his true purpose tonight. This was his last chance and the only to win you back. But even though he has never been more honest in his whole life except tonight, he feels like not even telling you his feelings can bring you back to him. Mark was so frustrated that he has tears in his eyes already that you wanted to dry so bad. But if you really want him to respect the relationship you have with his brother, then this is the perfect time.

“I may have loved you first, but your brother is the last man I’ll love. I’m sorry Mark,”

And just as you finish saying those hurtful words, you finally have the bravery to turn your back on him and ignore his shouting that you’re sure your parents and neighbors heard. This is you throwing a decade of good friendship because of unrequited love.

FOUR YEARS AGO

The day before Valentines day, you don’t know what’s up with your mood or with you in general, because you’ve been so envy with the people around you, couples to be exact. As you admire happy couples in school who celebrates Valentines as early as now, you can’t help but to imagine someone.... someone that will give you flowers, chocolates... kisses, or whatever you’ll accept in whole heartedly.

Valentines is like Christmas, it’s a day of giving and receiving. But that only applies if you have someone special whom you can spend the day with and exchange shiny, glittery, and sparkling Valentine cards with.

“I can be your fake boyfriend, come on it will be fun,” he raises his seagull eyebrows and smirked. Come to think of it, it’s not a bad idea. You’ve been best friends even before kindergarten, you watch each other grow and went through puberty together until the next thing you know, you’re printing college applications together in your room because his printer broke down.

“Let’s not go to college without having the experience of high school love... you know, let’s have fun before we graduate with flying colors. Let’s go to parties, participate in Valentine-gram tomorrow, go to prom together. What do you say?” he added.

“But everything’s fake? What’s the point of fake dating if we already look like were dating ever since we started being friends?” You whine and flop on your bed, Mark did the same thing.

“Don’t think about it too much, just say yes,” for a moment you both just stared at the ceiling, wondering what could go wrong if you started fake dating. “Anyway, you don’t have a choice. I need to get home and answer these- Bye, you’re my girlfriend now!”

“W-what? Mark-“

And just before you could reason out with him, he’s gone with his college applications and you’re left with your thoughts and excitement. You don’t know why but Mark’s crazy idea made your heart jump, it’s like a good electricity that made you look for your art materials and spend the whole evening making your fake boyfriend a blue shiny, glittery, and sparkling Valentine card.

Even if the motive was fake, the effort was real and it felt good and right at that very moment.

But little did you know that his idea of fake dating was only his way to not shock you when he finally confess his feelings to you.

That’s right, your best friend is in love with you.

If she wears blue tomorrow I will confess to her. He tells himself as he stares in his ceiling, feeling the same excitement and electricity in his heart. Trying so hard to sleep but he kept on thinking about you and can’t help but feel the excitement for tomorrow again.

“You and Y/n started dating? Since when?” Mark’s mother exclaimed happily while driving. Looking at his son admire the roses he got you from the flower shop downtown.

“We’re just starting mom. Thanks for helping me pick these up by the way,”

“Oh there she is! Wearing blue! Oh I never realized how you two grew such good looking kids until now,”

Mark breathed in and let it out with a smile, thankful that you wore his favorite color, because he can’t continue to hide his feelings for you. Maybe you and him are really bound to happen.

As you wave goodbye to Mrs. Lee with a bright smile, there you see Mark carrying a unique bouquet of roses and your eyes immediately went big and sparkled because. Not to mention your heart beats so hard and fast because he looked so handsome even in his casual clothes.

“Wow- I’m speechless, these are beautiful. Where did you get these?” you accept the bouquet as he hands it to you with a smile. Engraving the look of your face in his mind and heart, swearing to himself that from now on he will make you happy like this everyday.

“It’s a secret. You’re special so it requires extra effort. Happy Valentines and happy first day of being a couple,” he said and planted a kiss on your forehead. Something so natural for you and him, but today is different. Nonetheless, you believe that today will be a beautiful and eventful day.

In the see of people wearing red and white in your school’s hallway, you and Mark are happy wearing blue. Such a sad color but you wearing it makes him the happiest guy today. Everywhere you look has a dash of red and pink, hearts are hanged here and there and almost everyone has red roses on their hand... except you.

Because you’re holding a bouquet of rainbow roses.

This year’s Valentines wasn’t like any other Valentine’s you usually have. Today you have Mark.

You have Mark to hold your hand while you walk on the school’s hallway. You have Mark to look at you so lovingly that your heart melts whenever you catch him looking. You have Mark to take you out on a date after school and take cute photos in a photo booth. You have Mark to share a big drink with two straws.

And most especially, you have Mark to kiss you under the dark sky full of stars in front of your house.

His lips were soft as expected. And the way his tongue swipes on your lip in the most subtle way just makes you want him to kiss more. He smiled in between kissing when you pulled him closer and kiss him more when he was about to pull away. And oh! You did not miss the way he softly moans, such music to your ears but sad to say you can only hear them tonight.

“Did you liked my Valentine card? I left it in your locker,”

You finally pulled away and surprised him. Wiping away the spit from your mouth, you wiped Mark’s as well. He only smiled to you and you wish he would stop doing it because you’re growing a little crush on him already.

“It’s full of glitters, it’s blue and it has watermelons. Of course I love it” he said then did it again, melted your heart with that damn handsome smile.

“Good,” you said softly, fixing his hoodie and finally giving him a bear hug that he deserves. “I don’t want this night to end,” you finally admitted it.

“Then let’s not end it,”

“Wait, you’re not faking anymore aren’t you-“

And just like that Mark cut you off with a deep kiss. Nothing like how he kissed you earlier. This time he was holding you tight that you’re almost out if breath and you feel like he’s about to crush you anytime. But the way he kissed you... it’s his way of confessing his love to you.

On the following days, everything changed between you and Mark. Though it’s clear that what you feel for him is only just a crush now and he knows it, still the guy is hopeful that you will love him like how he loves you.

Mark is the perfect definition of consistent. He showed you how he feels for you each day, and each day he became better than the day before, sweeter and bolder. He was putting everything on the line for you, showering you the love he has always kept in him. That’s why, in a matter of months you finally made it official with him and you can’t wait what the future has in store for the both of you.

“What do you love about me?” you asked out of nowhere while he was in the middle of playing his guitar. It wasn’t a hard question, but it made him stop and think for a second.

“I love how you give me constant reasons to love you even more each day,” the first line was enough, but Mark has more to say. “The way you kiss my cheek in the most friendly way but it always meant something to me, how you accepted me to be your friend and now boyfriend. I love how you love me, because being loved back by you is something so special that only us can understand”

What he said moved you of course. You didn’t know that he loves you deeply even before you started the fake dating thing. And knowing that Mark is just crazy and madly in love with you, you can’t help but wish that you are too. For now all you can do is accept his love, and give back however you can. You love him of course, but you can’t keep up with his love yet.

Days passed by and your relationship grew sweeter. More sweet words were exchanged and more kisses were given. Way more. Until you find yourselves making out whenever you two are alone.

“Aw!” you express your pain when Mark accidentally bit your lip. Something so sexy but it hurt and it made you both stop what you’re doing.

“Oops. Sorry, I got carried away” he says and took a look at your lips. “You’re fine right?”

“Mhmm” You answered, but just before he was about to start kissing you again, you stopped him by pulling away. “And it’s getting late, I think you should go home,”

“But I want to stay for more,” he said with a sly smile. Caressing your shoulders and soothing your back. If course you did not miss what he was talking about for more. You and Mark are young, and being new to this relationship thing just makes you both want to explore and feed each other’s curiosity.

“When I’m ready. I promise it will be worth the wait, for now it’s getting late and you need to go home... And work with some homework,” you gave him a final kiss and thankfully he did not pry.

The relationship you have with Mark was nothing like the friendship you used to have. The friendship was still there, of course, but friends don’t kiss your neck while you’re busy reading a book or slam you to the nearest wall and kiss you wildly. Friends don’t taste your favorite ice cream flavor through your tongue in the middle of a Netflix movie, and friends don’t get affected when they see you in your thin shirt and panties only whenever they give you a surprise visit.

“It’s the weekend, why are you here?” You whine as you try to go back to sleep. Clinging to your pillow and thick blanket but your boyfriend is currently losing his mind. Nonetheless, he remained a gentleman and covered your exposed leg and butt, covering you completely and keeping you warm. “Come to bed with me. Cuddle with me instead”

The young man’s eyes brightened and quickly joined you in bed. Swinging his arm around your waist from behind and nuzzling your neck to tickle you.

“I got into my dream college,” he whispered excitedly beside your ears which made you quickly turn to him and hug him.

“That’s why you’re here! Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t realized” you planted kisses on his cheek the ones he loved receiving other than your slow and deep ones. “You used to talk about this ever since we were just kids. Ugh, I’m so proud of you”

“Promise to support me no matter what?” This time it’s him who went closer and planted kisses on your face. Of course you said yes, it has been his dream, but now that you knew you’ll miss him everyday and you know that the image of him walking away from you at the airport will truly hurt you, so you can’t help but fake it.

You rolled on top of him and his eyes immediately went big, wondering why and how are you like this. You have never been this bold and confident even in your wildest times, it’s like he’s seeing a totally different side of you and he loves it.

“Want to claim your early graduation gift?” you completely surprised him and started kissing his neck, while Mark is actually enjoying the moment by caressing your ass cheeks and teasing you by tugging your panties. You wish you have the same level of confidence with Mark, because you well know that between the two of you he is the one experienced with sexual activities, so now you try your best.

“Mmm” a loud pop surrounds your room as Mark sucks your nipples through your thin shirt. Taking turns with your left boob and right boob until your shirt is partly wet because of him and he can finally see your nipples. The sight of it gave him the feeling like no other. Of course this is not his first time seeing boobs, but this is different because it’s you.

The mere sight of your boobs just made him lose his mind and not to mention hard in no time. You watch him roll his head back while you slowly grind of top of him with a ruined shirt, looking so hot than ever so he quickly switched places with you. Putting you underneath him, looking down on you with hungry and lustful eyes.

“Do you wanna touch my boobs?” You asked him so innocently,reaching for his hand that’s placed on your waist. You put your hand and his hand inside your shirt, slowly lifting the wet shirt just above your chest to expose your boobs to him.

“I wish you were my first,” he said and immediately kissing your right boob while his hand kneads the other, pinching you or teasing you, or whatever he just wanted to hear something from you. And when he stopped making your nipples swollen, Mark just kept on kissing you softly and saying ‘i love yous’ over and over again. making you smile through his lips and soft touches, it is as if he’s taking away all your shyness and making you comfortable with the situation. The situation where your boobs are expose to him, your legs spread wide and Mark is in between your legs, grinding his clothed cock on your ruined and wet panties.

You were just kissing passionately but now you felt his hands hooked on your panties and the next thing you know he’s pulling it down without breaking the kiss until it reaches your thigh and eventually remove it but the shyness crept in again, making you close your legs and bite your lips in hesitation.

“Can I? Open your legs?” He asks, kissing your neck and calming you through the way he kisses you and touch you. And when he felt that you’re ready, he tried opening your legs again and this time you let him. Letting him place his body in between your legs, smiling through the kiss as if he’s telling you ‘good job’.

Mark spread kisses around your body, kissing every inch of your being, earning a giggle from you and with that he’s happy you’re not nervous anymore.

And when Mark pull away to discard his clothes, and release his cock, you were speechless when you saw it that you removed your own ruined shirt just to be fair ask him to get back in between your legs this instant.

“Lets do this right,” he said and immediately placed a finger on your wet slit that took your breath away. Up and down, you feel his finger nothing else, and when the moment comes and Mark put a finger in, your hand reached for his hand and tried to stop him because the pleasure was too much. But your handsome boyfriend was just smiling at you, smirking because you looked so ruined right now all you can do is smile back at him. And when he insert two fingers, he kissed you deeply and caught every moan you let out, every cry of his name, every groan, or whine.

And the next thing you know you’re closing your legs as you shiver and curl your body. Trying to get away from Mark because you’re sensitive already but your boyfriend is not stopping.

“First of many,” he says and stopped to pull out his fingers. But he is not yet done. He only gave you a few seconds to catch your breath and went back kneeling in between your legs again.

“Are you going to fuck me now?” you asked with ragged breaths and tired expression.

Mark did not answer you verbally, but he did physically. Licking your pussy juices and spreading your pussy lips while his eyes are completely locked on yours.

You said ‘no’, but you didn’t mean it and the moment his tongue swipes on your cunt you grabbed hold on your headboard and hold on for your dear life. Clenching and unclenching as Mark eats you out, trying so hard to close your legs but you can’t until your second orgasm drowned you quickly and all you can do is breathe in and out heavily.

“I hate you” you said but you’re clinging to Mark and sharing your warmth to him.

“I love you,” he said and intertwined his fingers with his, kissing your knuckles before he place both your hands above your head. You voluntarily spread your legs wider for him, and with his free hand he lines his cock finally.

“I didn’t know you’re big,”

What you said made him smirk and proved your discovery even more by pulling out entirely and slamming his cock back in your wet hole. “Now you know,” he said small grunts and went in deeper. He knew what he’s doing to you is too much pleasure because it’s your first time and also he can tell by the way you hold on to his hand.

“Planning to crush my hand?” he let out a cut giggle like he isn’t fucking you deep right now. How can he do that? Be insanely cute while doing something filthy to you.

“Y/n, I’m close can I go faster?” and you can only nod.

Fucking you faster and harder than earlier, you watch Mark become someone sinful when he started focusing on his own release, kissing your boobs while he fucks you, give your ass a tight squeeze, lick your neck like you’re a fucking ice cream and whisper dirty words or word that make you shy that you didn’t know you would love hearing. Like,

“Let me fuck you again,”

“You like it deep huh?”

“Y/n, you’re worth wait, you’re mine forever”

“This is the last pussy I’ll fuck,”

And in the end he pulled out and jerked in front of you, letting his cum fall on your lower abdomen and watch his cum drip to your sheets. It’s a shame that he can’t cum inside you, it would have felt great.

“Fucking shit- that sex was great,”

He rests his head on top of your boobs, but went back to kissing you again on the lips. Apologizing for his mess, aplogizing for his words and saying ‘i love you’ over and over again.

That morning, you stayed naked with Mark in bed for a few hours just talking and laughing, flirting and kissing. It felt great having a huge progress with your relationship, especially that it’s Mark who took your virginity.

“Hey, you okay?” he was talking about your pussy because even though he didn’t went hard earlier, he did fucked you a little bit harder knowing that it’s your first time. “I meant what I said earlier. Please be my last, I don’t want to give my love to anyone but you. It’s too early to talk about marriage but, I know it’s you. I’ll love you better each day, I promise”

Comfort, warmth and safety. That’s what you felt hearing those beautiful words from him that you became speechless and crashed your lips to him.

His promise was kept every day until you both finished high school together, enjoy the summer before he leaves and make unforgettable memories as many as you can.

But knowing that he’s going away to follow his dreams and fulfil his goals, Mark worried too much about long distance relationship and how it never worked.

“Are we really together now? I’m not dreaming right?”

Your sleep was disturbed when Mark called you in the middle of the night. Today, you taught him how to bake and had a couple of rounds during Netflix and chill, so to be honest you’re really exhausted and tired.

“Mark, we kiss, we date, we have sex almost everyday. Yes baby, we’re together for almost four months already. Now can we please go back to sleep-“

“Go down open your door. I’m outside”

And the moment you opened the door for him, you gave him a ‘shh’ sign, telling him that your parents are already asleep. You came closer to him for a kiss, and told him, “it’s real. I’m real. Can you please promise me to stop overthinking, you’re making me worry,”

He didn’t answer you but lowered his head. You knew he’s sorry and he’s just doing this for you,

“I love you, Mark. I’m yours forever,” you said and kissed him again. Deeply this time, to the point that it put you both in the mood and the next thing you know Mark is fucking you while he’s covering your mouth with his hand.

When Mark left you for college your relationship went downhill and you’re both getting hurt already. Fighting is part of the relationship, yes, but the fight you have with Mark almost everyday was becoming the reason why you want to distance yourself from him. You feel caged with how he love you, you feel like he’s strangling you with all these rules you need to follow to maintain trust in your relationship but nothing is working.

Until he finally realized what he’s doing to you.

So during his vacation, he visited you and you were so excited to the core that you welcomed him with a tight hug and the biggest smile. Only to find out that he wanted to break up.

But

“It’s just until we finish college. Let’s wait and do it right. I don’t want to fight for you while hurting you at the same time. Please understand. I’m not breaking up because I don’t love you. This time off will heal us both,”

The breakup did you no good. You were sad every day and to be honest you would rather want him to nag you than miss him like this and you can believe that between the two of you, he’s the one doing great in life. It makes you want to believe that he doesn’t love you anymore. Like the man you fell in love to, wasn’t there anymore.

“Still crazy about my stupid brother huh? Come here and help feed my fishes,”

His brother, Lee Taeyong, disturbed you and your ugly thoughts while you finish the drink their mom gave you during one of your visits.

“Well, college was good to you. I see you’re back and finally opening a bakeshop downtown” he hands you the fish food as you wait for him to talk and feed the fishes generously.

“I’m very much excited to open my bakery. Want to make cookies later instead of being broken hearted?”

And as days, weeks, and months pass by, not only Lee Taeyong making you forget about Mark, he also healed your heart and won it fair and square.

It started how he makes your heart flutter whenever he holds your hand while teaching you how to bake, how praises you and tell you that you look beautiful everyday, how he makes his kitchen your own little world during closing time and you’re sitting on the kitchen counter with Taeyong in between your legs and taking your breath away with a heated kiss.

When you and taeyong started dating, you experienced true love. You didn’t want to hurt Mark but what you have with Taeyong is real and you had to hide this from him for years and years and years, until you finally graduated in college.

And Tayong proposed to you. It was the only time you couldn’t hide your relationship from Mark anymore because Taeyong was the one who confessed to him.

By Any Other Name

Chapter One

Chapter Six:

Cooking lessons with Deceit were far more fun than Anxiety had thought they would be.  Not to mean that he hadn’t assumed he’d enjoy them, but he hadn’t thought they’d be quite this fun.  If the way Deceit seemed to act during them was any indication, he should have asked about this a long time ago, because he’d never really seen Deceit this happy before, or… happy at all, really.  He laughed and smiled and teased Anxiety far more while teaching him than he had before doing so.  Though he supposed part of that might have been him growing more comfortable with him being around.  Anxiety could relate to that part.  He had just gotten comfortable enough to tease Deceit right back.

Remus had provided Anxiety with a list of meal options, and Anxiety picked the one that sounded the least bizarre, which was just lasagna, but he’d written it down as “pasta and meat cake.”  There was also apparently going to be a side of crickets.  Deceit laughed when he heard such, and said Remus had a talent for making things that shouldn’t taste good taste good, and he turned out to be right in this case, because the lasagna was good, and the crickets were actually enjoyable.  Anxiety would easily admit the lasagna had been his favorite meal so far, and much more begrudgingly admit that the crickets would make a good regular snack.  Remus grinned at this and announced a success, and told Anxiety he’d be making more in the future.

It was as they settled into this routine that Anxiety started to tentatively let time pass without paying such close attention.  It seemed less likely that It would find him at this point, and Deceit and Remus both seemed to appreciate having him around.  Remus didn’t quite go back to being the bouncy hyper person Anxiety first met him as, but he still laughed and caused chaos wherever he went, there were just also days that he was quiet and contemplative and Anxiety knew to leave him be.  Deceit’s leg improved, and he stopped using his cane all the time.  He also continued to warm up to him, and it wasn’t terribly long before Anxiety would call them friends, which felt… something.

It felt nice.  Yeah, that was it.  It was nice to not be snapped at, and he liked Deceit.  The correct and appropriate amount that one likes their friends.  And that’s what they were.  Friends.  And it felt nice.

Which is why when he woke up one day and Deceit wasn’t downstairs in the kitchen, like he normally was when Anxiety got there, he got concerned, the normal amount for casual friends.  “Hey, Remus?” he called, looking over to where Remus was cutting up Anxiety’s latest watermelon that shouldn’t grow in the fall but did because Anxiety said so.

“Yeah?” Remus asked, glancing over his shoulder.  “Good morning.”

“Morning.  Do you know where Deceit is?  He’s usually down here by now.”

Remus winced.  “Yeah, he… that’s what the watermelon is for.  He’s out on the back porch.  I don’t think he’s going to leave it today.  It’s… today’s a bad day.”

“Why?  What happened today?”

Remus winced again.  “It’s… just a tainted thing.  It used to be a really good day.  I don’t think he’s gonna want to talk about it.  I’m just trying to cheer him up a little with the watermelon.”

Anxiety looked towards the back door, where sure enough, Deceit was visible through the window, looking tense from here.

“Okay,” he said, standing.  “I’m gonna go grab the book I’m reading, since we’re probably not cooking today.  I’ll be right back.  Let me know if you want me to try and make his favorite dinner or something, okay?”

“Yeah,” Remus said, waving as Anxiety headed back up the stairs, and past his room.  He stopped outside Deceit’s door and hesitated.  This was probably a terrible idea.  Deceit’s room had been off limits since he’d been in the house.  But he had to try something.

After another moment of pondering he opened the door as quietly as he could, and shut it after him in the same way.  He turned to face Deceit’s room, and paused.

The room was still too bare, just like everything else in the house, but the bed looked familiar, and the dresser over in the corner, and both looked bigger than Deceit would need.

Anxiety wasn’t really sure why he thought this would help anything.  There was barely anything in here at all.  He supposed his best chance was the nightside table over by the bed, and he headed over there and was about to pull the drawer open when suddenly he sensed something magical off to his right, catching his attention.

He turned and reached under Deceit’s pillow, and pulled out three pieces of colored rope, purple, white, and gold, tied together.  Anxiety turned it over in his hands, trying to figure out what it was or why it matched the magic that always seemed to come off of Deceit.  Either way, it felt important.  He just couldn’t place why.

He was jerked from his thoughts by the sound of the back door opening downstairs, and he shoved the rope back under the pillow on instinct, moving back towards the nightside table drawer.

The only things in it were a picture with Remus that looked like it was years old, a couple of stargazing maps, and what looked like dance steps drawn out with “Our Dance” scribbled on top.

Anxiety picked up the stargazing maps and saw a bunch of what were clearly made up constellations, which didn’t surprise him at all given what he knew about Deceit (his Safety Name was Deceit, after all).  But he couldn’t see anything in here that might help him with his goal of cheering Deceit up.  The last time he and Remus had been stargazing Deceit hadn’t seemed to want anything to do with it.  But it’s not like a good alternative would be asking Deceit to dance.

Anxiety pulled the dance out and looked over it.  It felt very familiar, but he could say with certainty that Deceit wasn’t going to dance it with him, and that doing that probably wouldn’t help anyway.  He turned back to the stargazing maps and looked at some of the constellations Deceit had made up.  Now that he was looking closer, there were other constellations written by different handwriting.  It didn’t look like Remus’ handwriting.  Vigilance must have gone stargazing with Deceit a lot.

Anxiety looked over some of the names given to constellations.  Some were more ridiculous than others, as noted by “Sepiida Major” and “Violent Sloth” being written right next to each other.  Anxiety bit his lip.  Maybe if Deceit was still outside when it got dark…

Eventually, Anxiety put everything back in the drawer and looked around the empty room with a sigh.  If he was feeling a little more stupid, he would try to decorate the room, but that was definitely a more terrible idea than stargazing.

He headed back out of the room with a vague plan and shut the door behind him, trying to be just as quiet as he had been going in.  He went quickly to his room and grabbed his book, then flipped it open as he started down the steps, moving slowly enough that it could account for the missing time if Remus asked.

He found Remus sitting at the kitchen table picking at his breakfast.  Anxiety set the book down on the table and sat down next to him.  “Are you okay?” he asked.

“Fine,” Remus muttered, nudging an egg backwards on his plate.

“Bad day for you too?”

Remus sighed.  “Not as much,” he said.  “But… yeah.”

Anxiety looked at him for a minute, biting his lip and trying to think of something.  Ideas for cheering up Remus seemed much more achievable than ideas for cheering up Deceit.

“Hey, Remus?”

Remus glanced over at him.  “Yeah?”

“Would you like to come hunt some squirrels with me?”

Remus smiled, small but also excited enough that Anxiety felt he could call it genuine.  “I’ll grab my morningstar.”

…

It turns out squirrels were hard to catch.  Anxiety couldn’t really find that fact too surprising.

He was a little more on guard given the fact that he’d left the house and the magic field for the first time in a while, but it was worth it to cheer up Remus, and he made sure they stayed close enough that they could rush back if they had to.

Remus managed to nail a couple with the morningstar, but apparently preferred trying to catch them with his hands.  Anxiety tried his best not to be grossed out by all the animal blood, and succeeded long enough that Remus was smiling again.  He ended up spending most of the time looking at the surrounding forest, which he hadn’t gotten a good look at on the night he ran through them in desperation.  He spotted a path through the trees that Remus confirmed led to town.  Anxiety hoped he’d get to see it someday.

That didn’t mean that his chest didn’t loosen the second they walked back through the magic field.  They had spent several hours out, and lunch time had long since passed.  Remus took the squirrel meat he’d brought back inside to make for dinner, and Anxiety was sure it would be delicious and not at all slightly nauseating to think about.

Remus was grinning though, and that made it worth it.  Anxiety watched Remus as he took the meat outside to clean it and appreciated the feeling of being helpful.

Anxiety spent most of the afternoon trying not to go outside and talk to Deceit, because even his half-formed plan seemed pretty unlikely to work, and he would have no idea what to say if he attempted to have an actual conversation with him.  He went out once, to grab his empty bowl and ask if he wanted any more watermelon, and was met with a glare.  (He got him more watermelon anyway.  Deceit ate it.)

By the time the sun was setting Remus cooked the squirrel meat on the stove for dinner, took some out to Deceit who still hadn’t moved, and set up the table for Anxiety and himself to eat.

Anxiety cut off a piece of the meat, remembered how Deceit had told him that Remus had a talent for making things taste good that really shouldn’t, and took a bite.

Of course, it was delicious.

Anxiety headed out to grab Deceit’s dishes after dinner, carried it back inside to put in the sink, and headed back out as Remus started the dishes.

He sat down on the chair next to Deceit and got glared at again, but ignored the nerves in his chest and didn’t move this time.  He watched the sun setting behind the trees, then waited as the sky darkened, and got the distinct feeling that he’d done this a thousand times before.

Huh, that was weird.  One of the books he’d read talked about deja vu, that must have been what this was.

“Sunset looks nice, huh?” Anxiety asked.

“Don’t.”

Deceit’s voice was firm and cold, in a way that it hadn’t been towards him in a while.  Anxiety took a breath and shifted in his chair to try and help with the nerves, or at least acknowledge them.

“Remus said this is a hard day.”

“Don’t.”

“I’m sorry.”

Deceit’s breath caught, but he didn’t say anything.

“You know,” Anxiety said hesitantly.  “When I’m in a shitty mood, I generally find it better to be with someone else.  Rather than stewing in everything by myself.”

“Oh, how would you know?” Deceit snapped.  “Since when have you ever been in a shitty mood around someone else before you met Remus and I?”

Anxiety winced.  “I just don’t think you should sit out here alone all day,” he said quietly.  “It doesn’t seem like it’s helping.”

“Well, who asked you?  You haven’t even been here six months, you don’t get a say in my emotional stability.”

“I’m just trying to help.”

“I never asked you to.”

Anxiety sighed.  “Yeah, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need it,” he said quietly.  He wasn’t surprised when he didn’t get an answer.  He looked up at the sky, and saw stars starting to appear.

He started looking closer once enough clusters appeared to make any kind of image, and settled on one off to the right with seven stars.

“You know, when I was in a shitty mood before I met you guys, if I was alone at night I would make up constellation names,” Anxiety said, glad that at least the statement was actually true.  “Like, that one over there looks like a small dagger, so I’ll call it, uh—” dammit he was so terrible at naming things— “…Small Dagger.”

He expected a glare or some kind of sarcastic remark, but Deceit didn���t say anything, and when he looked over, Deceit was looking away.

Anxiety looked around the sky.  “And that one kind of looks like a short string of stars, so I’ll call it… Tiny Scarf.  Wow, I’m really great at this.”  Anxiety looked over at Deceit.  “Look, I’m just saying if you really want to stay out here all alone, you shouldn’t just stare off into space all day.  You should at least try to think about something else.”

“I want you to go away,” Deceit said, though he didn’t look nearly as angry.  Instead he looked fragile, and more than a little conflicted.  “I don’t want your help, and I don’t want to come up with constellation names.  Especially not with you of all— of all people—”  He pressed a hand over his mouth and his shoulders started shaking, and suddenly Anxiety realized he was crying.

“Oh shit,” Anxiety said.  “That’s not what I meant to happen.  Shit shit shit uh—”  He didn’t know what to do now.  Deceit normally showed his bad moods through brooding or anger, not tears, and he honestly hadn’t expected that to change.

“Hey, hey, it’s gonna be alright,” Anxiety said, leaning over and trying to decide what to do next.  “Uh… there there?” he patted him on the shoulder in about as awkward a manner as he was pretty sure had ever been accomplished.

Deceit looked over at him, looking incredulous and a little offended at first, but something on Anxiety’s face must have changed his mind, because then he was leaning forward and resting his head on his knees, but rather than continuing to cry, he seemed to be laughing.  Or maybe it was both?  Either way, Anxiety was now completely lost.  Eventually he leaned forward and wrapped an arm around Deceit’s shoulders, expecting to get thrown off.  Surprisingly, Deceit just leaned heavily into it.

The mixture of laughing and crying went on for about another minute before Deceit shifted to put his head in his hands and took a couple deep breaths.  He leaned back against his chair, and to Anxiety’s surprise, he didn’t look nearly as closed off as he had before whatever that was.

He gave one last half-laugh, and ended on some poor copy of a smile, with tears still in his eyes.  “I think I kind of needed that,” Deceit murmured.

“Uh… the laughing or the crying?” Anxiety asked, trying to decide what to do next.

Deceit gave him a lopsided smirk.  “Yes.”  He narrowed his eyes slightly, though he still didn’t look terribly mad.  “You snuck into my room and found my stargazing maps, didn’t you?”

“Uh… maybe,” Anxiety admitted.  “But I wasn’t lying.  I used to make up constellation names whenever I was alone at night.  It was something small I could do that It didn’t know about.  I guess I haven’t really gotten better at it.”  He bit his lip.  “Did… did you and Vigilance do that a lot?”

Deceit nodded slowly.  “Yes.  I just… I can’t really bring myself to do it without him.”

“What happened to trying to enjoy the things you did before?”

“It’s different,” Deceit sighed.  “It was always something we did together.  It wouldn’t feel right to do it by myself.”

Anxiety opened his mouth, and shut it again.  He opened it again.  “I could… I could do it with you,” he offered hesitantly.  “If you want.  I can’t imagine the names will be very good though.”  he looked back up at the constellations he’d named.  “I guess depending on what yours are.”

“I would have named those two Kopis and Magnadi, personally,” Deceit said.  “Which means ‘cutting’ and ‘scarf.’  So I even stuck with your theme, Mister ‘Small Dagger’ and ‘Tiny Scarf.’”  He smirked over at Anxiety, who chuckled awkwardly and looked away as he felt his face growing hot.

“Well, I guess I can guess what names on that map were yours,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

“It’s alright,” Deceit said, sounding amused.  “I can’t help it if I take all the intelligence for myself.”

“You are the worst,” Anxiety said, turning and shoving Deceit back by his shoulder.  Deceit laughed again, and leaned back against his chair again, seeming much more relaxed.

There was a moment of comfortable silence, and then Deceit smiled at him.  “Um, thank you,” he said, looking back up at the sky.  “I wasn’t really expecting anything good to come out of this day anymore.”

“Happy to, uh… prove you wrong,” Anxiety said hesitantly, hoping he was pushing too far.

Thankfully, though, Deceit just smiled at him.  “Me too,” he murmured.  His smile dropped slightly.  “I don’t think it will ever be a celebration again, but I don’t want it to be miserable either.”  He seemed to realize something a second later, and turned back to Anxiety suddenly.  “How’s Remus?  I really should have checked on him, I just—”

“He’s okay,” Anxiety said, holding up his hands to cut Deceit off.  “We both went out and hunted the meat you ate earlier.  I think it cheered him up.”

“You’d have to leave the house for that,” Deceit said suspiciously.  “I thought you didn’t want to do that.”

“I mean…” Anxiety looked away.  “Remus was upset.”

Deceit didn’t say anything for a long enough moment that Anxiety looked back over.  Deceit was gazing curiously at him.

“What?”

“You care that much about Remus?”

Anxiety blinked.  “Well, I mean yeah.  Why wouldn’t I?”

Deceit didn’t say anything in reply to that, just hummed and remarked, “Just be careful leaving.  I don’t want to have to track down my only chance to take It down.”

Anxiety winced.  “Yeah,” he said.  Deceit probably didn’t mean that that was all he saw him as, but Anxiety still found himself wishing he hadn’t said it.

They both looked back up at the stars again.

“I think I would like to stargaze again,” Deceit said.  “Not tonight.  But I would.”

Anxiety smiled a little, and looked back over at him, feeling happy to have helped, more so than with Remus.  He blinked in surprise at the realization, wondering for a moment why that was the case.  He really hadn’t liked it when either of them were upset, but with Deceit, it was heightened to a surprising degree.  Was this similar to the way he liked his laugh so much?  Was Deceit finding a way to curse him or something?  There had to be something that could explain the weird amount that he cared about him.  What else could it even be?

Anxiety looked over at Deceit, who was still looking up at the stars.  There was now a tiny smile curling around his lips, and Anxiety wanted to make sure it never went away again.  But then again, he might be able to tolerate it going away if the reason it did was because he’d leaned over and kissed it away—

Well, shit.

Chapter Seven

sweet summer days

-> husband!iida tenya x gn!reader

read before continuing!!: although reader is labeled as gender neutral, the kids sharing both your features and tenya’s implies female anatomy or the ability to bear a child. this can be twisted to be gender neutral friendly though, like a relative of yours being a surrogate. you have tohru (7), toshiro (6), and tomoe (5).

ack this isnt as good as i wanted it to be ㅠㅅㅠ it just sounded so much better in my head aaaaa. i just wanted sweet n soft cuteness. i also fell in love with the children omg i want. kids. now ...

warnings: none.

word count: 1.4k words

check out my masterlist for more of my works!!

laughter and the sound of tiny feet running across the hardwood floor filled your spacious home. what was meant to be a lazy day off for your husband has turned into a chaotic day of cheeky grins, sticky fingers, and rough splashes of pool water. your husband tenya, however, couldn’t be any more happier than he is right now.

the clinking of ice cubes against glass and the mattress dipping underneath you gently woke you up. you look up to see tenya opening a new book he bought recently, quickly becoming submerged in it’s contents. groaning ever so softly, you contemplated whether you should wake up or stay in your comfortable position. unfortunately you didn’t have much of a chance to decide, as your youngest, tomoe, woke you up with a soft grunt, kicking her feet in the air as she desperately tried making her way up onto your bed.

“tomoe? what are you doing up so early?” your husband asks, reaching over you to pick up the girl with ease. tomoe was the sleepiest of your three children; she was shy, silent, and soft in nature, much different than her two older siblings. it was rare to see her this active in the mornings, much less awake, as she had a tendency to nap whenever she saw the chance to.

“tohru and toshiro are fighting again” she whines, a lazy hand reaching up to rub her eye as you sit up, patting down the stray hairs sticking up from her head. she had shoulder length blue hair, with your eyes and smile, along with tenya’s quirk. he swore up and down that he’d train her the best he could so she could continue his legacy. while he promised he had no favorites, you could tell tenya was excited to have tomoe as his successor.

“ahh,” tenya shakes his head “those two tend to bicker quite a lot. did they wake you?” your daughter only responded with a soft nod, already falling back asleep, soothed by her father’s embrace and your gentle hand stroking her head. “i guess i’ll have to scold them a bit for making a commotion, then” tomoe let out a soft ‘mhm’ in agreement, her head finally resting against tenya’s chest as he stood whilst carrying her in his arms.

ever since graduating, becoming an adult, and starting a family with you, tenya’s become a much calmer man. it was a bit hard at first, but after learning from you and tohru that his stiffness and sudden movements aren’t exactly the most relaxing, he tried to become more loose. despite this, he’s still the awkward, nerdy, and strict boy you fell in love with at heart.

“you’re so mean tohru!” your son toshiro’s voice could be heard loudly as soon as you opened the door of your room. your two other kids were in the living room, minecraft sounds playing loudly over their argument.

“i'm not being mean, i'm being fair toshiro! papa made times for us to be on the game so we wouldn’t get into fights!” you sighed, thinking to yourself ‘so much for that schedule tenya put all that effort into’. “you shouldn’t have started a game when you knew your time was almost up!” tohru continued to holler at toshiro, who looked like he was about to cry.

tohru took mostly after tenya, his strict way of being mixing with your louder, more carefree side. she was a stickler for rules but enjoyed picking on her brother and had a tendency to be loud and over-the-top. she had your hair color but tenya’s sharp eyes. she had long hair and lighter skin than the other two from staying inside and reading more than being outside.

“tohru, sometimes, we can just choose to be nice. when you’re nice, most of the time your kindness will be returned. either way, seeing your kindness make someone happy will always be the best part of being nice. if you see that your brother is having a fun time, why don't you let him keep playing?” you take your eldest into your arms, pulling her close to you as you sat down. you weren’t afraid to talk to her about more complex/harder to grasp topics as she was extremely intelligent like her father.

“i guess you’re right…” she hung her head and sighed.

“yeah, tohru!” toshiro angrily huffed, chopping her head tenya style. tomoe continued to sleep as her siblings ran after each other around the house, chaos ensuing wherever they went.

“dad!” toshiro climbed tenya’s back and flashed you a toothy smile. toshiro was the most hyper out of the three, but also a complete cry baby. he was a proud older brother to tomoe yet relied on tohru to protect him, and was an all around happy, cute kid. he had short messy hair that was the same color as yours, with a single streak of blue. he was generally the most balanced combination of you and tenya and had much darker skin than the others, constantly playing around in the sun with todoroki’s kid.

he continued to poke his fathers cheek as he spoke “can we get in the pool today? can we? can we?” he repeated, only stopping and climbing down when your husband caved and said yes to toshi’s whining. “dad! (mom/dad/parent)! you should come in too!” was the last thing the little boy said before disappearing to quickly change and get his towel, which tohru did as well.

“what do you say? wanna go into the pool?” you asked tenya, getting up to change before toshi started whining again. tenya shook his head softly.

“i'm going to cut up some watermelon for the kids and then sit by the pool. i’d rather read for today.” he contentedly sighs as he moves toward the kitchen island, pulling out a watermelon from god knows where and starting to cut it. allowing him to enjoy his day however he’d like to, you went on ahead without him.

“how are you not burning up, ten?” you asked once he joined you all outside, just the mere sight of him in the blazing sun making you sweat. he just smiled and shrugged, continuing his book with the sounds of his children playing together in the background. you held tomoe cautiously as she half heartedly splashed the other kids. honestly, how she came out with a personality more like todoroki’s is beyond both you and tenya, though todoroki jokes that tomoe is really just his child that you guys stole from him.

the first to leave the pool was tohru, then curious toshi, and then you after tomoe whined that she wanted to go with the other two. they all went back inside, towels covering them before pouncing on the plate of watermelon like it was the last in the world. luckily tenya preplanned and saved a couple small slices for the two of you, otherwise you would’ve missed out.

laying next to your husband on the beach chair, he let out a soft groan when your cold, wet hair and hands met his warm skin. “did you not bring out a towel? you’re really cold, love.” you let out a whine which tenya knew meant ‘no and i regret not bringing one’. he adjusted himself to put his arm around you, in attempts to warm you up.

it wasn't long before the sound of children running came close, tohru chasing toshiro angrily and tomoe slowly trailing behind them. you chuckled as tomoe climbed onto you and tenya, a watermelon seed stuck to her cheek and another in her hair. as you removed the seeds, tohru and toshiro kept running after one another.

“toshiro you took the last piece of watermelon so don’t cry when you get what you deserve!” she shrieked, and you decided you probably should no longer let her go over to bakugo’s house, because as much as his youngest boy liked to read with tohru, the rest of his kids took after him, which was probably where she learned her more aggressive behaviors.

holding tomoe in your arms, your children became background noise that lulled you to sleep. the last words you heard were “papa can we go to sanrio puroland tomorrow!?” from tohru. with tenya being puddy at the hands of his children, it was safe to say the summer fun wasn’t done just yet.

[pbandjesse]

I felt so much more like myself today. And for most of the day I felt great. I would feel bad every time I ate. But when I wasn't eating it just post eating I felt great.

I slept a lot better. I think that helped. Waking up was not as horrible. I didn't even snooze my alarm!

I would get up and get dressed. I felt alright in my outfit. I knew I was going to be in the mud today but I wanted to feel pretty. Did my makeup and everything.

Everyone else apparently thought I looked great though because I got so many compliments today. James kept telling me how lucky they were to have a pretty wife. It made me feel nice.

I had a really easy drive to work. (I wish I had gotten a picture but there was a baby grand piano on the side of the highway???) And when I got to camp it was just really pretty. I would stop at the eyrie to get my supplies. And then drove to the art building. Where I set up my water color painting project and cleaned out all the trash I had in the doors. I wish we had a little more storage inside of the car and so I bought a net for the ceiling of the car so when that gets here I am hoping it helps me feel more organized.

I would walk down to the office. And was alone for a while. I had my egg sandwich and regretted it. I felt very out of sorts after eating it. But my mood was still really good. Elizabeth and Nick came in. There was discussion about the day. And he went to go set up the tower.

I would head to the lodge with Elizabeth and Sarah so we could set up tables and chairs and we were very efficient and got everything ready.

The group was a little late. We would have to alter the schedule just a bit. But this group was literally a dream. They were so lovely. I am so cool to second graders and they gassed me up hardcore.

At first I think they were unsure of me. But I took my little group to the pond and we went through everything. I was slightly put off by the one chaperone not wanting them to explore without an adult next to them and being very concerned about them getting muddy. I just had to go. This is the nature of the program. They will get dirty. It is okay. I'm sure the parents will complain but also why did you send your child to any field trip in New shoes. That's crazy to me but I don't know their lives. I just want them to have fun and not be afraid of nature.

But once we got into it we had so much fun. The first group found 14 things!! They did so good! And we had a couple extra minutes because Nick's group at the tower needed the time. So I pulled out some of the larva and had them identify it by picture. It was fun.

One little girl, Ashley, got a sticker bush stuck in her hair and in getting it out she got a finger prick. And she was hysterical. Just scream crying. I carefully took her hands (avoiding the cut) and was just very very calm. Her teacher got a first aid kit and while she got that ready I sat Ashley down and had her breathe with me and she calmed down and was just quietly crying. And I validated her upsetness, "that was really scary right? You are being very brave." I told her that I also got a cut last week and I'm only stronger for it. And by the time she has a bandaid she was all good and would be a joy for the rest of the day and also my best friend. Her and her friend Genesis were my shadows and we would look under many many logs. We even found a morel mushroom!! My very first one!

They were not my only shadows. In the second group Nevaeh was all red faced crying. I'm not sure why. But I got her to come look with me and I think she thought it was really cool when I was able to grab two different slippery frogs. This group was very good at finding the frogs. We even dug one up from under the grass. Literally pulled the "sheet" of grass up to grab him. It was so fun.

Lunch was quick. But the second group has helped me bring all my materials back to the eyrie so I was able to enjoy my little half hour. I was very disappointed to find my watermelon didn't taste right. But I enjoyed my little pizza and things were good.

The afternoon was art! I would collect my group and we went up to arts and crafts. Lots of hand holding and hugs. Such a sweet group. And I had them draw in sharpie at least one plant and one creature they really liked seeing today, OR one that they WISHED they had seen. So we had some snake and bear drawings. But also a lot of tadpoles. And then they would watercolor paint. And it went so good. I was very very happy with this project.

The second group would be super sweet as well. Nevaeh would paint a picture of me!! And she gifted it to me so I promised to hang that in the art building. I also had a really lovely conversation with two parents and shared some of our Africa pictures. It was just a really lovely time.

One of the little boys also kept telling me how beautiful I was. My makeup: beautiful. My hair: beautiful. My personality: so cool. These kids were echoing everything he was saying and I was just like. Guysss stoooppp. But it made me feel really nice.

At the end of the program we cleaned up and I packed up their art in bags to give to their teacher. And we walked back to the lodge. Where the little girls wanted to wear my hair clip and look at pictures on my phone. We're disappointed I was not wearing my engagement ring but also it would get so dirty! My wedding rings go through enough as it is. I did show them some of our wedding pictures though and that was fun.

Nevaeh and Ashley and Genesis and a few other girls helped fold chairs as they were leaving. It was so sweet. I loved this group. Absolutely would have again. I hope my future child is as sweet as them.

Nick and me would finish folding the chairs. And I would go clean the bathrooms. And once that was done I went to the art building to put things away. And then to the office. Where I very badly answered some emails (with incorrect information because I wasn't thinking about alcohol when someone asked if they could bring outside drinks to the music festival. I assumed water bottles??). And I offered to go pick up our total wine order.

This ended up taking more then an hour which I did not expect. Traffic was bad. And then when I got there they couldn't find our order. But the man was nice and looked really hard and would find both orders and everything would be fine. I enjoyed just sitting in the car for a bit. I wasn't in a rush.

When I got home James helped me out and brought everything inside. I was worried about them getting taken from our car? Can't risk it.

James made me a salad for dinner and it was great. I would change into my comfy clothes and painted my toes and ate my salad and eventually I went downstairs to play the new video game James got me.

Little kitty big city! It's very fun so far but video with walking games still make me nauseous. But I would play for a couple hours. James would join me and made pizza and I shouldn't have eaten it because I have felt bad since. Maybe it's a bread issue? I will try to have less bread tomorrow.

I just got a shower and James is dozing on bed while I'm sitting on the floor. I am tired. But I am feeling good. My stomach didn't hurt at all today (I mean it did but not in the way it has been. No crazy scary cramping). And I am feeling really good emotionally. I hope to keep these good vibes going.

I hope you all sleep good tonight and have fun tomorrow. Goodnight everyone!
