22/6 [Heavensward] - An Exchange

Asel visits the Skysteel Manufactory in hopes of buying parts to replace Leofard's ship.

Asel opened her mouth, considered for a moment what she wanted to say, and then slowly closed it again.

She couldn't say she wasn't flattered by Stephanien's attention. Or uninterested for that matter in the aspect of furthering her studies of smithing. If Asel was lucky she could learn some of the basics of Magitek. That would be incredible.

Wait. Asel sighed internally. That wasn't what she had come to the Manufactory for.

She squared her shoulders, looked up at his face, and started her pitch. "My apologies Sir Stephanien."

And then she stopped as a strange expression flashed across his face.

"You can just call me Stephanien, Asel." He noted.

"Erm... right." She started again, brow raised. This wasn't exactly unusual for Ishgard, though it was rare in her experience. If one had a title here, they typically wanted you to use it. "My apologies Stephanien, but that's not what I came here for?"

"No? How odd. I was certain my prospectometer had detected a high level of interest." He trailed off before gently detaching a small device from his belt and looking it over.

"I'm interested." Asel corrected, drawing his gaze back to her. "Just not in Machinistry. I wanted to ask how much Manacutter parts cost."

"Hmmm?"

"Not for me, I should note. A friend of mine had an accident recently." Asel explained before Stephanien could continue. This only seemed to strengthen his curiosity.

"Hmm... This friend of yours-" He paused chin in hand and, a thoughtful look on his face. This lasted for but a moment before his eyes started to near gleam. "Asel?"

"Yes."

"I must confess, you are not the first to come into this shop asking about that," Stephanien admitted with a grin. "Also, There is a peculiar rumor going around the Jeweled Crozier. Are you familiar with the Redbills?"

Asel didn't speak. The only response she gave was a wary smile.

"Ah, pray do not worry Asel. I have a good deal of respect for Mistress Utata's work." He assured her. "Though I do have an idea. Would you be interested in telling me of the interesting mechanisms and technology you encountered on this ghost ship?"

"This will cover some of the cost of the parts, I hope?" Asel countered.

"Aye."

"I see. Fine. I'll share what I know with you." She agreed. It shouldn't be that hard. She just had to try and explain things without worrying him with the antics of voidsent. Or the near end of the world.

"Splendid! Come, we can discuss this over tea."

[novaloo]

Inevitable - part one - Unexpected aid

The lab was filled with the sounds of a pen scribbling against paper and the quiet hum of some scientific machinery. The man taking notes had crow black hair in a distinctive yet messy shape, with a lightning-shaped streak of white running through it. He wore an old lab coat with black protective gloves, boots to match. His goggles were up on his forehead. This mad scientist was no other than Dr Sunshine.

He was finishing up his research, when he remembered something. Something that triggered a flash of genius. One so inspiring that he actually felt like he could sing. And so he abandoned the notes, stepping into the center of the room, moving along to the music inside his head, and began to muse.

"My heart was stolen by a blind pickpocket

In the deep city streets

In the summer of 2012

And I never even saw her face...

My dreams were shattered like a stained-glass window

Jesus in pieces

I believe I threw a brick right through him

But my memory could not be saved!

It just seems unlikely that it's me who was to blame...

So I bookmark my DSM

Cause I need to remember my place!~

Ow!"

Sunshine had an amazing ability of manipulating his voice to match the tone of every word he meant to say. One would say it was miracle-like.

"This is not enough!

This is not enough to prove it yet!

No, I need to hit the bottom!"

He clapped twice.

"This is not enough!

This is not enough to prove it yet!

No, I need to hit the bottom!"

He clapped twice again.

"Gotta get to the bottom of this...

Gotta get to the bottom of this...

Gotta get to the bottom of this...

Take you with me...

My soul was crushed like a tall boy

Underneath the boots on the curb

And I'm still picking up my molars

And putting them back in my face

My name was soiled by a last call spill

With a backwash swill

And the blackout killed me sober

On impact from a fall from grace!

Take the road on higher ground

And tell me, 'Don't look down, you'll fall and break your back'...

But that just reminds me how

There's more to be found beneath the black!

This is not enough!

This is not enough to prove it yet!

No, I need to hit the bottom!"

Double clap.

"This is not enough!

This is not enough to prove it yet!

No, I need to hit the bottom!"

Double clap.

"Gotta get to the bottom of this...

Gotta get to the bottom of this...

Gotta get to the bottom of this...

Take you with me~"

Then his voice took another tone, one worthy of an opera singer.

"Bottle, well, or barrel, all are empty...

Dug, or drank, or poured it out...

When too much is not enough, there's plenty

More where that came from around!...

Looking up we see the point of entry

Between where we are and we've been

Looking up I could say Heaven sent me

Hand me my shovel, I'm going in!

Looking up, we see the point of entry

Between where we are and we've been!"

In his tone resounds a tinge of desperation, slowly growing into a scream that still sounded so melodic.

"Looking down I could say Heaven sent me!

Hand me my shovel, I'm going in!...

Oh, oh, oh...

Gotta get to the bottom of this

Oh, oh, oh...

Gotta get to the bottom of this

Oh, oh, oh...

Gotta get to the bottom of this

Ohhhh...

Gotta gotta get, gotta gotta get, gotta get

Gotta get to the bottom of this!

Gotta gotta get, gotta gotta get, gotta get

Gotta get to the bottom of this!

Gotta gotta get, gotta gotta get, gotta get

Gotta get to the bottom of this!

If it kills me!

Gotta gotta get, gotta ow!

Gotta get to the bottom of this!

Gotta get to the bottom of this!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Gotta get to the bottom of this!

If it kills me!..."

At this point his voice was only a scream, filled with desperation and its own charm.

"This is not enough...!

This is not enough, not enough to prove it yet!

No, I need to hit the bottom!...

This is not enough...!

This is not enough, not enough to prove it yet!

No, I need to hit the bottom!...

Oh, this!

This is not enough!

This is not enough, not enough to prove it yet!

No, I need to hit the bottom!...

This is not enough...!

This is not enough, not enough to prove it yet!..."

And his voice returned to normal.

"No, I need to hit the bottom~"

And as his song ended, Dr Sunshine fell to his knees in a theatrical show of desperation, only for himself to watch. But then he heard the door open. And yet he didn't move an inch. The person walked in, stood beside him and extended their hand, handing him... a shovel. An actual shovel. Unable to contain his curiosity anymore, Sunshine looked up at the guest. It was a woman in black boots, black skirt and gray blouse. Her brown hair was tied into something of a messy bun with a hair clip and had some lighter streaks here and there. Just like his - a little messy, but spectacular in its own way. Her emerald eyes played perfectly with the polite smile. There was something familiar about her figure, but he couldn't really tell what.

– ...Why are you here? – Dr Sunshine finally asked.

– You asked for your shovel, sir – she replied, and when he heard her voice his eyes widened.

– No...

– Yes. It's me.

– But you were blind!...

– Intuition is best practiced without vision – her smile shifted into a slightly more amused one. Sunshine took the shovel from her, stood up and leaned against it as he smiled at her a bit.

– And I never even got your name... – he mused.

– Julie. Pleased to meet you, sir.

– You may call me Doctor Sunshine. But... What are you searching for here?

– I wish to become your assistant, doctor – Julie replied, to Sunshine's surprise. – I will answer to every call and complete every task, I promise.

– Hm... I could use some help with my science I suppose.

– I will not let you down, Doctor Sunshine! – she said once again, bowing a little. At that he smiled and helped Julie put on her new lab coat.

– Now... you're officially my assistant.

– So... What shall I assist you with first, doctor?

Harsh Thoughts, Gentle Praises

Your chest felt heavy as you walked home from RAD. Tears threatened to spill over your cheeks, but you didn't dare let them fall in front of him. You felt bad because you had snapped at him when he asked why you were so quiet, and now the tension was so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife. It's all because that stupid no-name demon called you that word. A word that had a tendency to trigger you. A word that was considered so ugly in the human world, and they knew that and used it to their advantage just to hurt you.

Fat.

The word echoed in your head. "Aren't you a little fat for a human? I bet you'd make a nice meal for those demons you hang around all the time. I don't know how they can even stand being around you." They had said. you tried so hard to not let it bother you. But you knew you were slipping into the toxic state of mind that you hadn't been in since coming to the Devildom.

Lucifer

The eldest demon was one of the first to notice your behavior. He kept a close eye on you after all.

He walked you home that day, and you immediately shut yourself in your room.

Lucifer will give you space at first. He knows all to well that when he's angry, he just needs time to cool off.

However this went on for a couple of days.

He notices you skipping meals, claiming you aren't feeling well.

When he does see you, you're wearing an oversized shirt and sweatpants and your hair is messy and unkempt. This isn't like you at all.

He eventually sits you down in his study to talk with you. "MC, I'd like to know what's been bothering you. Are you okay"

Suddenly, all of the feelings you've been bottling up explode.

"No, clearly i'm not okay!" you shout, throwing your hands up in frustration.

Lucifer is taken aback by your outburst, but he listens as you tell him everything. Anger rises in his chest and he clenches his fist in his lap.

You were a sobbing mess, "I don't even know why I'm upset, they're only stating facts anyways."

Lucifer immediately pulls you into a tight hug, silencing the toxic words that leave your mouth. “Regardless of whether their observations are true or not, clearly we all still care deeply about you. So they are wrong about that aspect.”

You continue to sob into his chest, but this time at his words. "B-But Luci...It's true..."

He pulls away and plants a delicate kiss to your forehead. “That's quite enough of that. MC, you are the most beautiful being I’ve ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on.”

He scoops you up onto his lap, cradling you close. You squeeze your eyes shut, enjoying the moment of tenderness you've been craving so much. "Now let's get you showered and ready for bed. Would you care to join me?"

Mammon

The Avatar of Greed is surprisingly quick to notice the habits you've formed.

You had yelled at him for barging into your room, which you didn't normally do anymore.

He was startled when he had walked into you crying, and decided he wasn’t leaving without an explanation.

“Mammon I said go away already!” You cried, tossing a book at him.

He had dodged it of course, and made his way over to your bed. “No way in hell am I leaving until ya tell me what’s wrong!”

You were stubborn. You sat in silence, staring at the floor. Mammon sighed, "Please MC. Don't think I haven't noticed you haven't been eating... or takin' care of yourself... and you're so stressed. It's my job to pay attention to these things!"

You began to weep again, explaining the situation through hiccups.

Once you finished, Mammon was pissed.

"Are you fuckin' for real?! I swear i'm gonna rip 'em apart..." He demands the name of the demon who dares say such vile things to his human.

He was so angry, his demon form was threatening to take over.

"It's fine Mammon, It's not like they were lying. Its true, I'm fat. I'm disgusting. Just look at me."

Mammon practically growls at the way you talk about yourself. His hands are suddenly on your shoulders.

"You're really gonna listen to some bastard demon who doesn't even know ya at all?! Yeah, I'll look at you. And when I do, all I see is this beautiful human who makes me fuckin' crazy."

He stared at you intently before crashing his lips to yours. You welcomed the kiss gratefully. His hands are exploring their way down your arms, and up the curves of your hips.

When you broke apart, he pulled you into his chest, squeezing you tightly. He just wanted to hold you. To protect you from everything that could possibly harm you.

Your legs trembled when he pulled you to your feet and you held onto him.

"Let's go watch a movie in bed or somethin', okay? I want to show you just how beautiful you are."

You nodded, taking his hand and wiping your tear stained cheeks with the other. All you wanted right now was his company. His love and attention. "I love you Mams. Thank you."

He flashed you a wide grin. "I love you too, Treasure. Don't you forget that."

Leviathan

Levi was shocked when you turned down his offer on watching the new episode of anime you've been watching together.

You muttered something along the lines of "I know I can't be as perfect as that one character you like so much."

Levi froze in place, watching you retreat down the hallway and to your room. W-What did you just say?!

It takes him a moment, but he follows you and cautiously opens your door.

You were sat on your bed, arms crossed and tears falling down your face.

"M-MC! What's wrong?? D-Did I say something to upset you?" He stuttered, unsure of how to approach you.

When you told him everything, he was practically crying right alongside you. "I know i'm fat, Levi. I don't know how you can stand me when all those anime characters are so perfect."

Levi shakes his head, his amber eyes filled with tears. "No, no, no. Don't even go thinking that. Those characters aren't real. You're real, MC. And you are perfect to me. You're my Henry, remember?!"

You let out a small giggle through your tears. "Y-Yeah, I guess. But-"

Levi interrupts you, pulling you into a hug.

You run your fingers through his purple hair and you begin to relax. You felt bad for snapping at him. "I'm sorry, Levi."

The purple haired demon pulls away, wiping his own eyes with his sleeve. "N-Now you've made me cry! Come on. Let's go back to my room." He glances down at the hoodie and pajama pants you're wearing. "I-I'll lend you one of my shirts if you want..." he said, shyly. He knew you loved borrowing his anime shirts.

You perked up at that, the thought of being surrounded in his scent cheering you up. He really does know you so well.

He grabbed your hand and lead you to his room, his face flushing in the process.

"Hey, Levi? I love you."

Satan

Satan could feel your pact mark with him burning.

You had just gotten done throwing a tantrum over not being able to understand the material you were studying for test the next day.

Satan's emerald eyes widened, reassuring you that it was okay, and he didn't mind going over it with you again.

"No, I'm just too stupid to get it! That demon was right. I don't know how you can stand me!" you yelled, sliding down to the floor of the library.

"MC...what demon? Will you please explain?"

When he finally got it out of you, his own wrath began to rise in his stomach. He felt sick with rage.

You pulled your knees to your chest, your own pact mark beginning to burn. "It's not like they are wrong or anything. They're stating facts."

Satan sat on the floor next to you, wrapping his arms around your trembling form.

"Now you don't actually believe that do you?"

You sniff, wiping the mixture of snot and tears from your face. "W-Well yeah I do..."

Satan shook his head. "Unacceptable. I believe we aren't finished with our session yet. I have another subject to teach you in."

The remainder of your study session was spent with Satan planting soft kisses on various parts of your body. Your face. Your hands.

He rolled up the sleeves of your oversized hoodie to kiss your arms.

He ran his hands over the curves and dips of your body. Over your soft, plush thighs.

"S-Satan...stop..." you sighed. But you really didn't mean it. All you wanted was his gentle touch. You couldn't get enough.

He smiled, wiping your tears. He helped you to your feet, and planted one final kiss to your soft lips.

"Let's continue this session after hours. I have lots more to teach you about yourself."

Asmodeus

You and Asmo were supposed to go to the spa together that evening. Needless to say, you weren't exactly feeling up to it.

Asmo pouted when you told him you were cancelling, and demanded to know the reason why.

You tried to come up with an excuse, but you began to grow visibly upset, finding it hard to speak.

Asmo's face fell and he quickly guided you to his room.

"Darling, what ever is the matter?" he asked softly, sitting you down on his bed.

You wept as you finally came clean. "I just don't get why you want to spend time with me! I'm fat and disgusting! I'll only ruin your image!"

His concern began to transform into anger. "As the Avatar of Lust, there's no way I'm letting you speak that way about yourself!" he cried, grabbing a tissue and dabbing at your wet cheeks.

You let out a choked sob as he pulled you to your feet, standing you in front the large mirror that stood in his closet. "A-Asmo, no... I don't even want to look at myself..."

Asmo only shook his head. "Look at this beautiful human standing right here with me. Who says being heavier is a bad thing? That demon's only goal was to hurt you because he's simply jealous."

You sniffed, staring up at Asmo's reflection in the mirror. You've never seen him this serious before.

"Y-You really think I'm beautiful? Are you sure?" you asked, timidly.

Asmo pressed the side of his face against yours as he continued to admire your reflection. "The beauty I see in you is undeniable, my dear."

You chuckled as he twirled you around to face him, bringing your hand to his lips.

If there was one thing Asmodeus was good at, it was loving himself.

Now he was going to teach you, too.

Giving you a wink, Asmo guided you to his bathroom."Let's go have a spa night here, instead. You deserve nothing but the best treatment from yours truly."

Beelzebub

When dinner time rolled around, Lucifer called your name.

You reluctantly emerged from your bedroom, and in a cloudy state of mind found yourself at the table with a plate of food in front of you.

You stared down at it, and began picking through it with a fork.

Beel immediately noticed your behavior.

You normally ate your food with no hesitation and gratefully thanked whoever had made it that night.

It had been Beel's turn to cook, so he made your favorite, sensing you were down about something.

He only wanted to cheer you up.

"MC, are you feeling okay?" he said quietly as to not draw attention to the rest of his brothers.

Your lip began to tremble, and your fork clattered to the floor.

Now the other brothers were looking at you, and you felt your face heat up in embarrassment.

"Would you all quit staring at me?! I'm going to my room. I-I'm not feeling good." you yelled.

Beel got up, leaving his own unfinished plate of food behind to follow you.

When he knocked on your door, he could hear you sobbing. He entered your room and made his way over to you.

"MC, what's wrong?" he asked softly, reaching out to play with a lock of your hair.

You glanced at him, your face messy with tears. "How do you guys love me?"

Beel was confused by your question. "Huh? Why wouldn't we love you?"

You finally broke down, telling him everything. Beel's heart ached for you, and he suddenly didn't have an appetite anymore.

"MC...We could never feel that way about you..."

You buried your face in your hands. "But look at me! You don't see the gross stretch marks on my skin? How fat I am?"

Beel winced at your words. "MC, look." he said, pulling up his shorts slightly to expose his thigh. "I have them too."

You blinked in surprise as you saw the pale white lines traveling over the expanse of Beel's skin. "W-What?"

He nodded, pulling you to his side. "I do. I struggled with weight gain too. My sin is gluttony, and It got out of control for a little bit."

You sniffed, leaning into him. "I-I'm sorry Beel..."

He nuzzled his face into your neck. "Just promise not to say things like that anymore. I love everything about you."

His hands traveled down to your own thighs and squeezed. "You are everything I need. You make me feel hungry in a different way. I crave it all the time."

You sighed as he pressed his lips against yours. "Now only if you're feeling up to it, maybe we can finish our dinner in my room?"

You gave him a small smirk, "Sure, I'm looking forward to dessert."

Belphegor

Belphie didn't pay attention at first.

But when you didn't show up to your nightly cuddle session in the attic, he was worried.

He texted you, but there was no answer. Where are they? He wondered.

He decided to go search for you, going to your room first.

When he got to your door, he didn't bother knocking.

He entered to see you buried under your covers in your bed.

"MC?" he yawned, padding over to lift the covers slightly.

Your teary eyes met his, and he furrowed his brow in worry. "Why are you crying, Angel?"

Your lip quivered, and you began cry more. "G-Go away, Belphie."

The youngest demon only pulled back your covers and slipped into the spot next to you. He pulled the blankets back up to cover you both.

"Nah, I'm comfy here. What's going on?"

You rolled away from him, not wanting to meet his gaze.

"Belphie, why do you love me?"

He hummed, pondering the question. "Because you are you. I love everything. There's no way I can list them all. Too sleepy." he yawned.

You felt a bubble of laughter rise in your chest, but only for a second.

"So you don't mind that i'm um.... overweight?"

Belphie's eyebrows lifted in surprise at the question. "Where is this coming from?"

Fresh tears spilled as you began to explain what happened a few days prior.

Belphie growled, pulling you closer to him. He wanted to know who it was that dared say such disgusting things to you.

"But it's true though right? I mean it's pretty obvious they weren't lying."

Hearing those words only made him angrier. He forced you to roll back over so you were facing him.

"Dont say such things, MC. You always hate it when I say bad things about myself, don't you?"

You nodded, wiping your nose. "Y-Yeah, but this is different..."

He shook his head, reaching out to cradle your head in his hands.

"No it's not different. You are the greatest thing to happen to me. I don't give a shit about things like that, and you know it. And I know for a fact my brothers don't either."

You gasped as he pulled you into his chest. You began to relax as he rubbed circles on your back. "Belphie..."

He pulled away, staring into your eyes. "Did you know that every star you see is different? Even though they look the same from a distance. MC, you're the brightest, most beautiful star I've ever seen. If we all looked the same, it would be pretty boring, right?"

Your lip trembled, but Belphie put it to rest once he pressed his lips to yours. "I love you, Angel. Let's get our cuddle session in now okay?"

Side Characters coming shortly! (Will update)

@elliegoose i've been thinking about that cute post for weeks and I had to try and draw it... they don't make smaller saddles...

[ash-the-porcupine]

Art request of Buster Moon singing in front of his entire theater gang.

[doevademe]

So here is an idea with a slightly dark Percico, during the time where Percy has amnesia, rather than deny knowing him, Nico in a moment of weakness says that they are dating that he missed him so much. Percy goes along with it, seeing no reason not to trust Nico and something about him being his boyfriend just feeling right. Eventually they reunite with Annebeth who is pissed at Nico for lying but can’t convince Percy that he is, making Nico into even more of an outcast, only for Percy to reveal that has already gotten his memories back long ago and now that Nico has lost most of his friends Percy has him all to him. Now they can be messed up possessive people together

Nico couldn't take it anymore.

The glares, the disappointment, everybody looked at him like he was a monster, and not even for the reasons they usually did.

If it was about being a son of Hades, Nico would at least feel outraged, like he didn't deserve what was happening to him, but this time it was different, this time he deserved the scorn of those around him.

"What's wrong, babe?" Percy asked, concerned. Nico bit his lip.

It had been a moment of weakness. Percy had just said he was important to his nonexistent past, and Nico had just said 'Well, as your boyfriend I sure hope so!' He had planned to dismiss it as a joke soon after, but Percy had just nodded like it made all the sense in the world and kissed him as an apology.

Nico hadn't been able to come clean after that.

"Percy, we need to talk," Nico said softly.

"Is Annabeth giving you trouble again?" he put his arm around him protectively. Nico saw a dark shadow fall over his eyes. "She really needs to stop that. Like I'd ever go for her when I have you."

Yes, things had only gotten worse once Annabeth had landed on New Rome. Nico had been sweating bullets. Surely seeing the actual love of his life would return Percy's memories. Then Percy would hate him for lying and taking advantage... again.

Yet what happened was even worse. Percy had rejected Annabeth, saying that he knew they were friends, but that he had rejected her to be with Nico. Percy weaved a story from the half-truths Nico told him and his own imagination, but the way he had talked made it sound as if Nico himself had been feeding him all those stories.

Annabeth had tried to claw his eyes out, and had only been stopped by Percy. The daughter of Athena had demanded him to break whatever spell he had put on Percy, but her boyfriend had refused to believe her.

"She has calmed down a lot," Nico lied. After Percy had remained 'loyal' to him, Annabeth had tried to prove their relationship with pictures and witnesses, and everyone had believed her, even his sister... everyone except for Percy. "It's about um... us."

Nico was now not only the untrustworthy son of Hades, he was also a homewrecker, an oportunist who had bewitched an amnesiac man into forgetting his girlfriend out of sefishness.

Everyone had turned their back on him, except for Percy, who kept kissing him and complimenting him like nothing was wrong.

"Did I do something wrong?" Percy's voice had a tint of worry as he looked around. "Was I too clingy? Or too clueless?"

Yes, Percy had been, but that was not the problem. If anything, Nico felt guilty over how much he enjoyed Percy's affections.

"No, it's not—"

"Is there someone else, then?" Percy's gaze turned possessive, even darker. At that moment, he was reminded of Poseidon being the god of storms and earthquakes. "Don't think I don't notice."

"N-notice what?" Nico couldn't help but stutter. When angry, Percy was almost a force of nature himself.

"Jason Grace and Leo Valdez, they look at you sometimes," Percy said dangerously. "Everyone should know that you are mine."

Nico blinked. No. There was no way that Percy was that oblivious.

"They look at me with nothing but disgust!" he finally exclaimed. "And they're right to do so!"

Percy's face softened as he turned to hug Nico properly, combing his fingers through his hair.

"Nico, there's nothing wrong with you... with us," he said. Nico wanted to scream in frustration. "If they can't accept us, we're better off without them."

"It's not about acceptance!" Nico sobbed. "Annabeth was telling the truth. You are her boyfriend, not mine!"

"Nico, you don't—"

"I lied Percy!" Nico screamed into his shirt. "That kiss you gave me on Camp Jupiter was our first. You've never seen me as anything but a friend or a traitor. I took advantage of you!"

He just wanted it to stop. To at least mend the relationship with his sister, even if everyone else, including Percy, hated him.

The son of Poseidon just hugged him tighter.

"Oh, Nico," he said, sounding disappointed. Nico braced himself. "I already knew."

Nico's eyes widened, he tried to pull away, but Percy just held on tighter.

"What?"

"My memories came back during my quest with Hazel and Frank," Percy explained. He caressed the top of his head. "I have known you lied since before Annabeth came back."

"But then why—?"

"Honestly, it was pretty hilarious to see her all mad," Percy laughed. "I almost cracked then and there, but I needed to keep at it, until everyone took her side, at least."

Nico shivered. It had all been Percy's ellaborate plan. To alienate Nico from everyone who could be on his side. To make him even more of an outcast. All to get back at Nico for lying about their relationship.

He didn't know the son of Poseidon could be that machiavellian.

"I guess I deserved it," Nico whispered. "I'm really sorry, Percy."

"Sorry for what?" Percy asked. He seemed honestly confused. "You know what I remembered when I got my memories back? How devoted you are, how many times you have saved me, how much you're willing to do for me. How utterly perfect you are."

Nico wasn't understanding. What was Percy getting at?

"You even lied to have me for yourself." Percy's voice was filled with amazement. Nico felt the hug tighten once again until it was almost painful. "But I also remembered all the people who could take you away, just as I realized how precious you were to me."

"Percy!" He struggled to get out, but Percy didn't let him.

"People like Connor Stoll and Will Solace, always looking at what's not theirs," he continued, almost snarling. "I knew if I wanted to keep you, I needed to make sure they wouldn't look at you twice."

Nico's heart was hammering in his chest. The worst part is, he wasn't sure if it was from fear or excitement.

"You did all this... so I'll stay?"

"I remember Nico, you have a knack for just leaving," there was a reproach in Percy's voice. "But that's in the past. Because now you know how much I love you."

Yeah, and now there was nowhere else that would take Nico in.

"It hurts, being hated by everyone," he admitted quietly. Percy's hug became slack.

"I know, and I'm sorry." Percy at least sounded sincere. "I know I made it worse but... I couldn't lose you."

And it was like something switched inside Nico's brain. Like everything made sense now. He had always been an outcast anyway.

But now he had Percy.

"You'd never lose me, Percy," he said, giving him a kiss. "Because I'm as yours as you are mine."

And Percy smiled like Nico had just told him the moon really was made of blue candy.

"I'm glad we both think the same way."

Nico nodded and kissed Percy again.

The whole world could hate him for all he cared. Percy was his, and it was more than worth it.

@requestingdead I know it’s not what you originally wanted, but I hope you still like this one 🥰your oc was fun to draw! I hope I did a job 🥲

[i-love-to-draw1]

Olia and Aisa are aliens from a planet called Felimunplesstills,

They are known as Aurorans.

Species sheet i finally did it qwq!!!!

The planet Desprition:

The plant is that of very bright colors, even glows when night falls.

The glass is the most Lightens of blue, the trees in a beautiful rosy red, with leaves that are beautifully white that cyan flowers would sometimes blossom in the winter that make it seem like stars. The plant life aids in cat to horse size insects that have markings that glow, and are so gentle. The produce grow vast and plenty before the winter storms arrive. The water as purple as a plum, filled with glowing fish that shine like glitter as they swin. The deeper the water the bigger and the more dangerous they are. The ground a soft peach hue. The entire planet is covered in baby blue crystals, that gives a low dim, as if lanterns are gently guiding you at night. In the mountains, caves give life of many gemstones and minerals, the rarest being gold. Despite the planet size, there are only a few tribes spread apart. Each with their own culture, but same belief. Community is importance in surviving peacefully. Teamwork is key!

Species and description:

Aurorans, a hermaphrodite species that are able to gain abilities the moment they turn 18 years old.

They grow at normal pace till 18 years old but then age slowly, 30 years is equal to one year as they age.

They can live for as long as 2 to 3 thousand years

Reason why their population is small

Since the species have both genitalias, either one can produce an offspring. They do not understand the need of pronouns, each using titles or names when addressing eachother.

Xer is a title given to the one who gave birth (closes to 'mother')

Tec is given to the one who did not (close to 'father' )

Mostly use for or around the children

Their blood is a violet color.

• Babies: when an auroran is born, they are the lightes shade of grey with small sharp ears and gummed mouth with small tufts of white hair. They can appear to have 1-9 eyes, varying from the parents. The eye placement and size varies, it can only appear in one side of the face, the center, or both. Thin lines edge between the  mouth to the ear, signifying that they unhinge their jaws and appear to have a long and sharp tounge.

• Youth 1-10: As they grow the young aurorans will have a variety in their teeth. The most common being regular teeth that appear human or feline set. There are also a set that appears like a sabertooth, it may appear on either above or lower jaw, it's not as common but it isn't rare. Rarest ones are those that have a second row of teeth. Their white hair appears to grow slowly and straight. They also slowly learn to shift into their second form resembling that of a feline, tho they appear completely blank, no marks or patterns unless it's jewelry or scars.

• Pre-teen 11-12: Their white hair starts to form its own unique trait, they continue to train in their shifting abilities

• Teen 13-17: Hair becomes longer, either appearing as wavy, straight, curly ect. It can grow up to the waist or even longer. Shifting has fully developed and puberty hits.

• Adult hood 18-2499: once they are 18, the hair is finally cut to fit what the auroran feels is correct, once they have done their ritual they gain abilities, only one. There are 5 (6) abilities, 3 being elemental (earth, fire, water), 1 is space, and the other is nature (the last one is forbidden it is so rare it never happened and even if it did there is no history of it, the power to control all 3 elements). Once the ritual has been performed, the aurorans skin color changes in different shades of gray,  freckles appear, each being unique for each auroran and vary in different colors that glow in the dark. Their hair also  change, those who gain water, their hair appear to be a constant water fall, usually kept long. Those who gain fire, have a flame that changes its color varying their emotions and can be long or short. Those with earth have a varying shade of peach and can make it harden, it is strong  as steel, usually kept long (they are also able to manipulate it). Those who are of nature, becomes different shades of purple and appear to have vine like strands with varying leaves and flowers, usually kept short but sometimes long, as well as stylized. Space is very rare, their hair changing in cloud like, with sparkling twinkles appearing as stars and can change color depending on their emotion. (The full element can vary in hair, usually what is best suited of the species). Their eyes also change, a light velvet with white pupils for water, pure black with white pupils for earth, variety of colors with 3 rings and black pupils for fire and can also change color, space can vary in color due to emotion and have white pupils, and finally nature, variety shade of pinks with either black or white pupils (full elemental can vary). Depending on how they grow their "hair"will also grow

• Elderly 2500-3000 ect: as they get older their hair becomes regular hair, slowly going back to white, their abilities weaken. The closer they r too death the weaker they are. Once they die a huge blast of whatever power they had left finally disappears become one with planet.

Culture:

Auroran are a species that value life and community. But it also values strength, the strongest are those whose abilities are unmatched.

The adults let the children be children before asking them to work to gain experience in teamwork and bonding once they have matured enough. They also go to their chief the leader the descendents of the founder, and learn of their culture and traditions for they need it once they become adults. Children are to be treasured and prioritized for they are our next generation. The entire planet value trading and exchange as currency.

• The ritual:

• Before they turn 18, they must travel to the tallest mountain with the crystals that's surrounds the platform and a circular and colorful gemstones that centers in the top. Usually families, and close friends travel with the soon to be adult auroran, but half the community comes with to be a witness of the event (also to be sure it isn't an full elemental). When daylight finally enters and hits the the gemstone it shines on the auroran which triggers their abilities to arrive. Once it is done, congratulations are spread to the now adult and family. They return back home and the entire community celebrates the auroran. Feast is made with beautiful decorations in the center of their town, where they dance and drink away the night with music that plays loudly. Performances of other aurorans are displayed as well.

• A month is then used to train the auroran with an elder of said ability in honing their skills, focus, mental and emotional state being key when doing so.

• The next day after the last day of the training, they will battle with the other aurorans of the same ability and fight in a fighting ring. This will establish their strength, and every 5 years they will come back to see if the status has change. It also values to see if they can do a certain job. Experience is nothing compared to that of raw power. Usually the weaker ones go first. Who ever leaves the ring is the looser crowing the opponent the victor. It only ends when the auroran either is unable to fight or looses

• There are 5 titles given when evaluating strength.

•  Pep :1st stage weak

• Pan : 2nd stage mediocre

• Res: 3rd stage neutral

• Ful : 4th stage strong

• Caf: 5th stage powerful

• Depending on the rank they will work in minor jobs that are normal, such as housekeeping, chefs, farmers ect

• The stronger they are they aid in construction, fishing or mining or medicine

• The strongest gain the full authority in traiding with other alien species that arrive here, negotiations, and other political events from other tribes or alien species.

• The caf are the only rank that are able to do braids and wear gold to show their status. Especially the children so others may know that their is a lineage, it usually stays the same since it is difficult to defeat them. They also never leave the tribe.

• Dating and marrige: when aurorans are prepared to start dating usually around their Adulthood, it is best to find those with the same status tho it isn't strange of the gap rank is bigger, love is love no matter the rank (altho the caf prefer to set ther children with Ful's to continue the strength)

• Aurorans mate for life it is very rare for there to be a re-marrige unless the other auroran died.

• When they fine someone they desire they will give the auroran of interest a gift, when presented the auroran can either reject or accept. If rejected the dejected auroran must find another who will accept them. If accepted the two will see eachother and exchange gifts, as well as date and learn of eachothers family and history, if they are satisfied and content in happiness they can discuss marriage. It is important that the two are in full agreement of thos commitment, if either party is still uncertain then they'll continue on their dating status, or if the two are no longer interested with one another they may move on to someone else and start again.

• When both parties agree on marriage the two will seek the parents approval and they would be given a token to wear at the ceremony. The entire community will aid in the planning, setting the town beautifully. Usually taking a month to set up. The couple would wear traditional clothing walking along side together as they walk  with one of their arms bind together with soft silk like rope. As they enter the center of town the chief will then tie the other arms to be together. Then give the two their own made rings the two exchanging it. Then the leader will sing and display their ability surrounding them and giving them their blessing. Once it's settled the two would kiss to seal their union. Afterwards feast and music happens and dancing. The newlyweds would then do a choreograph dance, the two never touching as they also display teor abilities and having it mix with eachother till they finally stop once they grasp eachothers hand to show their union. Afterwards they prepare to leave, their town saying good bye to friends and family and head to another tribe to settle down in

• Family + Community:

•  Once they settle in the new tribe they socialize with their new community and follow their culture and traditions (there are tribes that live in trees, by the waters, the fields or the mountains)

• When they talk to the leader of the tribe and establish their rank, they will be assign a job.

• Once everything has settled, if they desire to have children, the two discuss who will carry the child, and once set in stone they mate.

• It takes a year before the child is born. Aurorans are only able to have one child in their lifetime. So the two will protect their child till the end or once they leave. Both parents raise and care for their child, each taking turns in raising them.

• Religious belief :

• There is a reason why the ritual is common. They believe in gods that gave them these abilities. There are 5 gods, the representation of fire, earth, water, nature, and space. Space being the leader, followed by the elementals the triplets and the young nature God. Each having a statue of the gods as well as a small bowl to give gifts as thank yous.

• The story:

• There was single god, alone in vast of darkness the only light being it. It decided to create a universe filled with beauty. So it created planets of all shapes and sizes, stars with various colors surrounded in clouds to let it give birth of light. This leading to various galaxies that painted the dark canvas it leaved. Due to what the space God created, it lead to the creation of the triplets, fire that blind and burned you if you were to near it but so much warmth and kindness it gives, so much love to give. Earth god, the very fabric of dust, stone, minerals, the very ground you walk on. It aids in providing so much physically but also a graceful beauty as it shines with a variety of colors due to gems it has. It is something tht will soon give life but for now it is just an assistant. Always tough and realistic. Water the source of liquid that will lead to life. It is the most calm of the triplets, but easy to anger when it isn't still. The very thing that can be kind but also cruel due to the freezing ice and snow non the less it is beautiful. The space God was happy to have more company and so forth all 4 traveld the universe seeing the beauty as well as assistance. This led to the final God being made. Nature, it was covered in so much greenery as well as flowers. They are the most kindness yet cruel if needed.  All the gods were happy to have eachother, all exploring and discovering something. This led to the creation of alien species, especially the aurorans. Which the gods favor, and due to that the gods have granted the aurorans 5 different abilities. Each happy to have one and aiding eachother when needed.

• The legend: there was once an auroran who was weak and easily ill. It desire to be strong, but was very Impatient and greedy. The auroran decided to trick the triplets into giving them all 3 of their power. The auroran would completely cut their hair, as well as appear to be blind by covering their face with wrappers to not show their ability  they received from the gods. The single auroran went to the fire god 1st

• "My dear fe, bringer of light and warmth I ask of you to give me a bit of your power for I'm a weak and ill auroran, and I desire to at least be strong enough to aid my fellow auroras and not be a burden."

• The fire god showed pity to the auroran and with kindness it agreed "very well, your fire will be stronger than any of the others, you will be able to aid your people with this warmth." The God gave a piece of it's fire for the auroran to swallow. They gave their thanks and fake as they leave to "aid their tribe". Only for them to head towards the water god.

• "Dear and beautiful Wu, I desire to give life to my community, for I am a blind fool who falls once illness hits. Please give me your power so I no longer feel useless"

• The water god sighed and look at the auroran with pity. "Every member is a value when surviving. Very well ill give you my power. You will be stronger than any other, and have the most freezing and sharpness of ice. Use this to aid ur tribe in the winter or storms." It formed a single ball of water and the auroran drank it.

• Once thanking the God it went to the earth god. It ran to the God and sobbed, "Ti, I'm blind auroran, hit by an illness that caused this. I have used my ears to sense everything around me but I feel useless for I cannot do much without my sight, please help me be useful to my tribe.

• The earth god laughs "u are not useless, for you are part of a caring community to still care for you. But I will aid you! You will be stronger and durable than anyone, as well as having the ability to sens your surroundings with every step as if you were seeing with your very own eyes" with that it gave them a pebble to swallow.

• The auroran smiled and thank the God before heading back home. What the gods have done was not their fault but the auroran for being greedy. The auroran couldn't handle its ability as they rest an let it settle. It was too much even for them. It has caused a explosion. Destroying everything in its path, the auroran was no more, a creature of pure destruction was born. Everyone faught it, trying to keep it abbay but failed. Till the gods arrived the elementals felt guilt and anger at the auroran, but the God of space only felt anger. With all its might it trap the vial creature in a bubble asking the other gods to assist in crushing the once auroran. It's screamed in agony till it stop, they became nothing but the very this it was made from, a circular matter filled with gemstones and minerals.

• The gods place it at the highest peak of the mountain all of them creating a beautiful sanctuary as they place the gemstone in the center.

• Once they returned the God of space said this "we will no longer be with you all for what has happened. From now on you must travel to the mountain and wait till Adulthood to gain ur powers. It will choose for you. But be warned. It is still in there, it will continue to give powers even if it's gone. If anyone shows to have more than one elemental than do what you must, but know this, it will go back in the gemstone and the cycle will continue. This is your punishment" with that the God of space left. The triples apologize n left. The God of nature, with much sadness said goodbye not before giving us one gift. "I will give this ability I took from ces, the ability to travel. It is rare for any to gain space but I will make sure that you can harvest the crystals to travel up the mountain to gain your abilities" with its last goodbye it left.

• Non of the gods appeared again the tribe rebuilt. The days becoming lonesome but we must do what they said and prepare and move on.

• The trade of Teleportation and space politics:

• The planet has the unique trait. It is able to create crystals that have the ability to teleport to an area. The bigger they are the stronger and longer the lifespan. Though only the aurorans know when to harvest it.

• Due the galactic protecters and order have discovered them and their species the leaders and Caf discuss amongs themself and the leader of the organization. They all agreed to ship their crystals so long as the protect their home from any invaders.

• The planet become a bit of a tourist site, with occasional trading on not only crystals but other goods they give. Though it is illegal to live there due to aurorans being very closed off from others and prefer to keep to themself and the deal with GPAO.

• The tour is more of a cultural or camping experience, a small getaway. There's only two ports in the entire planet.

• One for tours and the other for trades

Bucky planning something super special for Peter's 18th birthday, for after they've come out to the rest of the team as a couple. Maybe he does a super special kink, maybe he does something romantic? Maybe he blows Peter's mind completely out of the water and shows the boy exactly how relationships were done in the 50's? -- mattiecrypt

Thing is. While a lot of things have changed, taking out your significant other for a night out to Coney Island it's still top tier dating. The food, people watching, games, fun houses and the rides. It makes for a great time.

So after weeks of asking Tony if it's okay to take Peter out he gets permission. Which gets him threats on his life from Tony and Natasha, a lecture from Steve and a " use protection" from Sam. He doesn't have to tell Tony that Peter and him have been dating since he was 17. But those were quick little moments, date nights in the tower or out at the compound. Sometimes they could do a late night walk together. Once Peter turned 18, and they could officially be out this would be the 1st real date. Where they could be out as a couple.

Showed up at Peter's, brought him some small flowers for him and his Aunt. Promises to have him back by midnight at the latest.

They end up at Coney Island a few hours before the sun starts to set. Laughing, holding hands, eating, playing games; Bucky won Peter an Iron man stuffy and Peter won a teddy bear for him. They have a ton of photos from the photo booth. Making silly faces, normal smiling poses bunny ears included, and heavy-duty making out shots.

They end the evening on the ferris wheel. Pulling Peter close kissing him then Bucky gives Peter his dog tags to wear.

" These tags are almost as old as this ferris wheel Doll- never thought I'll be able to give these tags to someone special... after everything didn't think it would be possible... but you doll? You make me feel whole again. I love you Peter Benjamin Parker"
