ask game here

🛌 - do you and your f/o sleep in the same bed? if you do, do you have a favorite and least favorite thing about sleeping together?

yas me and spark sleep together every night ^_^ our bed is not that big so we must cuddle.. my fave thing is probably being able to just be close and warm with him cuz he's soft <3 least favorite thing though is not having a lot of space.. i love snuggle but i also like having my own space so RARRR. its ok though :)

💐 - do you have a garden? what does it look like? do you instead keep flowers in your home? what kind?

we don't have an actual garden, but we do have a few strawberry potted plants that i started growing earlier this year. i am hoping so hard that they don't die because I've put soo much effort into growing them >_< we had like 5 other plants and i did so much for them but they all died anyway </3

🪺 - what does your dream back/front yard look like?

hmmhmgm honestly not sure cause I've never had a yard, maybe something with flowers. because me and spark like flowers.. very pretty nice

⛈️ - what do you do when there's bad storms? is there anything you do to comfort each other? or maybe you like to watch the storms?

neither of us are afraid of storms so we just enjoy watching them, or we snuggle together and wait for it to pass

🧭 - what's your ideal travel spot? if you could own a vacation home with your f/o, where would your home be?

not sure, i just like going anywhere with spark. if we had a vacation home maybe it could be like in the forest or somethign. forest is nice and pretty

🎂 - do you have any special birthday celebrations you partake in every year?

sparklings birthday is december 20th so it's coming up soon! we usually go out on a date to somewhere fun if possible, and every year i do something related to him. like for 2 years i made a drawing of him, or last year i made him a little cake and lit candles on it. i wanna make a cake this year again and put 7 candles since his release will be 7 years ago ^_^ yay celebration!!

🎇 - do you and your f/o have a favorite holiday to celebrate together? what is it? do you have different holidays you like celebrating?

MEEEE MEEEEEEEE i do. because I'm fail. and spark has to come get me

☃️ - in the winter time, is there anything fun you two do together? make snowmen, snow angels, bake holiday treats?

🃏 - if you and your f/o were to be snowed in for several days with no power, what would you two do to keep away boredom?

YES oh my gosh I am like a candle enthusiast. i own and like a lot of diff scented ones like gingerbread, cinnamon roll, vanilla, caramel, i have one called "sparkle and shine" i associate as THE sparkling scent. like it doesn't get any more sparklingcore than that. ALSO i think spark would like vanilla scented ones.. i would give him some of mine that he can keep at his bar :D i imagine that he would sometimes gift me different candles since i really like them

[shuxiii]

merry christmas shu!!! 🤶🎄🦌☃️⭐🎁🎅🛷🥛🍪🌰

I just wanted to write something a bit more meaningful since it's christmas and I guess it's an appropriate day to say all of these things hahajahs

well first things first I wanted to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful and happy christmas!! I hope you get to enjoy this day to the fullest, eat the most yummy food and make great memories for the years to come!! I also hope that whatever traditions you and your loved ones have on christmas fills your heart full of that warmth and coziness only the joy of them can bring 😊

now buckle up because the cheesy words have only begun 😅

I'll try to keep it simple but I wanted to thank you for just being you and for gracing us with your incredible and heart-touching stories

I know I've only been an anon for a month or so now but I've been following you and reading your works for longer than that. I won't go much into detail because this is supposed to be happy and light but I was going through some stuff a few years back that I couldn't even write like I used to as a hobby (and coping mechanism) or even read stuff anymore. I actually haven't been using tumblr for almost two years before downloading it again this year. and then I discovered your blog pretty early on after being back again over here. I was already much better at the time but I was still taking my time with everything, but when I began reading your works it helped me more than I could've imagined. I was laughing, and feeling genuinely scared the characters wouldn't end up together and many other stuff and all of that was bringing such an immense comfort to me I was even shocked myself and so much so it even inspired me to write again! I managed to finish sixteen stories this year, which is like my biggest record ever because I would only manage to actually complete two or three per year. and it's all thanks to your amazing and inspiring work!!

you're also the first person I've send an ask to in all of my years here. I'm used to only reading silently while the authors interact with their readers but you're always so funny and light and the more I saw your interactions with everyone else the more I wanted to at least send in one ask to say how much I love your stuff. and when I did, you have always been so kind to me I couldn't help but keep coming back! it helped me get just a tiny bit more communicative in my life and I can say I've been better a jokes too because I swear you and your anons are so funny I've been keeping notes hahajahsjak

I feel like I said too much but didn't say much at all aaaaahdjdj, but I just wanted to thank you for being this amazing person and keep sharing with us your wonderful stories because you might not know, but they help people a lot. they're very entertaining and comforting and you're very kind and funny too 😊

so thank you for existing shu <3

I don't want this to be overwhelmingly long and I'm in the middle of nowhere, the reception here is horrible I'm scared this might not even send in on time 😅

so once again merry christmas shu!!! I hope your day is very happy and you enjoy it to the fullest!!

bye bye shu <3

- 🥟

I kid you not im sorry for the late reply because i was having a sad time in christmas so i couldn’t express my gratefulness to your ask but im so happy and this actually made me cry so much like i was crying out loud im so happy that i was ur inspiration and all ive never been so proud and happy LIKE i know i may say so little but this means more than the words i could ever describe and im sorry if it seems like i don’t appreciate it much but i really do! Thank you my dumpling 🙁🙁🙁mwa mwa love you!!

[chuuyrr]

❀ headcannons for gon, killua, kurapika and leorio with a shy and easily flustered s/o ❀

Note: thank you so much for the anon that requested this. i’m terribly sorry that this took so long, i hope you like it xx

Gon Freecss

gon doesn’t mind his sweet s/o being timid by nature.

in fact, since your shy personality perfectly contrasts his bubbly and determined nature.

you and gon were different but that’s what makes you two special, it’s because you are opposites. 

since you are quite shy, you don’t talk much to other people.

so gon has to be the one to introduce you and help you spike up a conversation.

“[name]-chan, i want you to meet my friends! meet killua, kurapika and leorio.” gon says to you.

as you shyly hide behind gon, you peek from his shoulder and wave at them, blushing. “h-hello!” 

his friends think you’re pretty adorable.

you don’t talk much with them but you do try your best to get yourself comfortable around and they respect you!

gon respects your little personal bubble just as much

being with gon actually helps you boost your confidence!

he always cheers for you and would often praise you!

“you look so pretty [name]-chan!”

“it’s alright if you’re not comfortable.”

those words always sends a good kind of warmth and fuzzy feeling in your chest.

you tend to blush whenever he compliments you or cheers you up.

it was very sweet of him indeed, that’s why you love gon.

gon is so patient with you, he’ll even help you take baby steps in helping you boost your confidence so you wouldn’t be extremely shy.

“there’s nothing to be shy about, it’s just me and my friends. okay? and i’m here for you [name]-chan whenever you need it!” gon assures you, kissing you on the cheek in the process as he gives your hand a gentle squeeze.

it was more than enough to help you.

“t-thank you gon.” you thank him with a smile, still having that blush across your cheeks.

Killua Zoldyck

even if your chocolate tsun tsun, killua, can get embarrassed rather easily-

killua likes to tease you and he gets a bit cocky with it too.

he just can’t seem to help it.

the way you blush and stammer, your shy personality makes it even cuter for him.

“is that blush i see?~~” killua leans close to your face his breath gently pricking against your skin, “don’t cover your cute face, let me see.”

he’d always make you a blushing mess

“k-killua stop that!” you stammer, gently pushing his face away with your open palms. “you’re such a baka i hope you know that!”

“but i’m your ‘baka’ right? i hope you know that.” he counters with a winning smirk across his face.

killua doesn’t go overboard though, he has that respect for his s/o of course.

in your relationship, he’s always the first one to make the move.

that’s because you are quite shy.

killua doesn’t do anything unless he has your permission or if he knows that it will make you uncomfortable.

“c-can i kiss you?” you hear him ask, he was blushing. “it’s alright if you don’t want to okay?! i don’t want to make you uncomfortable!” killua quickly adds.

“it’s o-okay!” you squeak in return, blushing as well.

MWA

your shy and easily flustered nature makes you so precious to killua that he will do anything, everything just to protect his sweet and timid [name].

once he sees something being too much for you shy personality?

killua will go into DEFENSE MODE for his s/o

“is this person troubling you, [name]?” killua will ask you first, it is his way of giving a consent from you.

if you say no, killua will just help you excuse yourself and pull you somewhere you are comfortable at.

if you say yes, that’s when killua will engage at the person.

“i don’t like the way you are acting towards my s/o. let’s have a ‘talk’ shall we?”

killua always keeps an eye out for you, with him, you are safe [name] so don’t worry!

Kurapika Kurta

he thinks you’re precious.

kurapika goes into a mama-pika mode for you.

kurapika would be your moral support, your advice giver and your comfort giver.

he always cheers you up and helps you overcome your shyness bit by bit.

kurapika teases you lightly about your shy and easily flustered nature just like killua.

he is extremely patient with you.

kurapika never forces you to not be shy or to do something that’ll give you discomfort.

he wants you to feel safe and secure, overall comfortable in all things as soon as possible.

if kurapika notices something that’s troubling you or making your comfortable?

expect hugs and an apology from this caring person!

this guy is always looking after his precious s/o.

“come here, it’s alright.” kurapika pulls you into a comforting hug, allowing you to curl and lean against his body. “did that make you uncomfortable?

you shyly nod, “y-yeah.”

kurapika will kiss your forehead and hold you, giving you a sense of security. “it’s going to be okay.”

he is also the one to reassure things too.

“do you want to be left alone? have some time?”

kurapika is very understand when it comes to that too.

he respects you in all aspects and loves you very very much.

you are extremely grateful for him and the things he does.

“thank you k-kurapika.” you blush, tugging his sleeve shyly.

“anything for you [name].” kurapika smiles at you, gently squeezing your hand before giving it a gentle kiss on the knuckles.

Leorio Paradinight

leorio is a ball of sunshine indeed!

he can be just like gon, energetic and bubbly.

but he is as caring as kurapika.

he can get pretty loud at times but when it comes to the point it brings you discomfort, leorio will make up for it!

leorio would apologize like a lot.

and he would give you sweet gifts such as your favorite flowers, favorite snacks and favorite dessert.

“i’m so sorry [name]!” leorio claims, almost in a frantic as he kneels down before you, holding his sorry gifts and presenting it to you. “please forgive me!”

“it’s o-okay leorio!” you assure, waving your hands at him as your cheeks blush into a beet red color. “really that’s too much!”

“nothing is ever too much for you [name]! you know that!”

you love leorio a lot, a LOT.

sure he may be loud and energetic but he is very sweet and as mentioned earlier, caring!

leorio would do anything for you just to see that smile on your face.

this guy is happy as long as you’re happy because you matter to him!

“hey, now.” leorio turns to you, poking your cheek with a finger. “where’s that smile?” 

this would often make you red as a giggle escapes your lips.

“ah! there’s that smile. you should smile often, [name] because it suits a pretty lady like you very much.” leorio tells you as plants a quick kiss on the top of your head loving. “your smile makes me very happy too.”

leorio likes to shower you compliments, not only do you deserve it but he knows it boosts your confidence and lessens your shyness!

“that dress looks very dashing on you [name]!”

“you are perfect just the way you are my love!”

“we should take a picture of you and i. i want to show my friends how beautiful my sweet [name] is!”

leorio is the type to flex you to his friends!

and he is very loud and blunt about it too.

“my [name] may be a shy little baby but i’ll have you know she’s brilliant and wonderful in all aspects! that’s my girl!” he tells gon, killua and kurapika about you pretty much all the time.

leorio is very proud of you! i hope you know that [name]!

CURTAIN RISE on THE HARUSPEX who has just died for the 20th time, and found himself in the Theatre once again. On the stage, lit by a single spotlight, lounges THE DIRECTOR who is seated on a comfortable, velvet chair. In the wings, THE BACHELOR and THE CHANGELING are waiting, practising their lines. When THE HARUSPEX steps up onto the stage, a second spotlight turns on, and follows his movements.

DIRECTOR: How pitiful an attempt that was. Why, you barely made it further than the last time!

HARUSPEX: I'm tired. I need...rest.

DIRECTOR: Then linger here. Here is the only place you may stand still. Out there, time moves without you.

HARUSPEX: I know that. Shut up.

CHANGELING: (interjecting) If it's too much for you, all you have to do is sit back and let me do miracles.

HARUSPEX: I said, Shut Up.

DIRECTOR: What's that glint in your eyes, Haruspex? Are you thinking of giving up on me so easily?

HARUSPEX: I would never. I'm just...tired.

There is a long silence as THE HARUSPEX takes a seat on the stage, crossing his legs. THE DIRECTOR regards him coolly, for a moment, before shrugging, and going back to listening to THE BACHELOR butcher his latin lines.

HARUSPEX: Is this the only play you know? The only play you've put on?

DIRECTOR: Of course not. I'm very well-versed in all sorts of theatre, you know. That's why I can do something this...experimental.

HARUSPEX: Can do? Is there someone even pulling your strings, Director?

DIRECTOR: (archly) Pulling your strings? Is that what you think I do?

HARUSPEX: Well, I find it hard to describe it any other way.

DIRECTOR: I don't control you, fool. All you have to do is put down the script, and leave. Leave Artemy Burakh behind, walk out the door, and forget him. I won't stop you. There will always be another actor. He may be inferior to you, yes, but there will always be another.

HARUSPEX: So you think the script isn't a form of control? The punishments, the limitations...?

DIRECTOR: Limitations? If you see them as such, I don't think you're getting into character enough, Artemy. Maybe you need some more time backstage, practising until you know what Artemy would and wouldn't do. Look how diligently dear Bachelor has memorized his lines and his movements, until even the swagger seems natural.

BACHELOR: (tersely) Don't bring me into this. I agree with the Haruspex.

DIRECTOR: Oh ho?

HARUSPEX: Why cruelty? Why focus a theatre on cruelty, why push the characters further and further and further like this?

DIRECTOR: Hardship makes up the crucible in which a character may become wholesale. There. Is that cryptic enough for you?

HARUSPEX: Very much so. If anything, that only brings up more questions.

DIRECTOR: (laughing) Well, that's the point. If I just gave you the answer, what kind of Director would I be? The altar of the stage is where the human soul is illuminated and elevated. What is a tragedy when it is not seen? What are answers that are unearned? And where is the strength in the happy ending if there are not tribulations along the way?

HARUSPEX: My definition of a happy ending doesn't involve nearly 13,000 dead.

DIRECTOR: Well now. If you were better at your role, would there not be less dead? I think that's a personal problem.

THE CHANGELING starts giggling, almost despite herself. Both THE BACHELOR and THE HARUSPEX glare at her, and she stops, looking faux-contrite. When they turn away from her, she sticks out her tongue at their backs.

HARUSPEX: It seems to me like you've never stood in an actor's shoes, Director. You wouldn't be so quick to judge if you were playing the protagonist role.

DIRECTOR: Funny assumptions you make there, Haruspex.

CHANGELING and BACHELOR in the wings looks up from their scripts, and looks more interested. They inch onto the stage.

CHANGELING: Then you mean, you have played on the stage before.

DIRECTOR: The stage is an evolution, a mimicry of life, surely you know this? Every actor was once an extra, every director, once an actor....so goes the stage, so we inhabit these spaces.

HARUSPEX: ...then why?? Why do all this? If you've experienced how hellish these roles are...?

DIRECTOR: Why not?

All three main characters look at each other. For once they are in perfect agreement. BACHELOR, CHANGELING and HARUSPEX all jump off the stage, and move to the second row, where the DIRECTOR typically stands. CHANGELING points directly at the DIRECTOR and clears her throat.

CHANGELING: Ahem, ahem, turn your scripts to page 569, the beginning of Interlude 10.

BACHELOR and HARUSPEX ruffle through their script loudly, coughing and making noises that sound vaguely like the DIRECTOR's mumbling. The DIRECTOR arches an eyebrow, skeptical.

BACHELOR: (in a plummy announcement voice) Welcome one, welcome all, to the tale of a man who transcended death through the power of theatre, canes, and being a bastard.

AT CHANGELING's annoyed cough, BACHELOR flips the script forward a little more.

BACHELOR: Our....intense, protagonist takes the stage at the beginning of a revolution, a moment of intense oppression where artists, thinkers and visionaries of any kind are squashed under the heel of the Powers That Be.

HARUSPEX: (entirely deadpan) Mwa-ha-ha-ha.

BACHELOR: A young man with a great vision, he stands in front of his plucky companions and announces his plans to change the world....

DIRECTOR: What a tacky opening crawl. You give away far too much, you know. It's far more entertaining to be surprised by your protagonist and his goals, that to preface them immediately.

BACHELOR: My casting call was literally "Daniil Dankovsky, a Bachelor of Medicine and famed thanatologist, who seeks to destroy death." Only Haruspex got the benefit of his true motives being hidden.

CHANGELING: Yeah, you called me a miracle-bringer and plague-bringer in mine, wasn't that a spoiler, technically?

DIRECTOR: (surprised cough) Well then. It has been a long time since I was on the stage. But why not?  

THE DIRECTOR snaps his fingers, and Tragedians run onto the stage, carrying period-era appropriate furniture, to decorate the stage as a fancy salon, and with another snap of his fingers, his suit now looks neater and cleaner, although still quite shabby.

DIRECTOR: Under this red-dappled sky, we lay our tools on the ground and plan counter-revolution. In truth, the revolution may have already passed us by, and we may be remnants, clinging to a forgotten wasteland, but we still exist. We still dream of a better tomorrow. The world we have awoken to is a fiery ring of hell, and our spirits are crushed by the weight of the polished marble of progress. Who has been left behind, I ask you, fellow countrymen? Who must be liberated?

TRAGEDIAN 1: We all knew who must be liberated, but the question remains of why we should risk our hides to do it? Have we not suffered enough? What power do we have, to oppose the revolutionary movement?

DIRECTOR: My dear friend, we have the power to move the heart, to evolve the soul, to push a person past their limits. We are craftsmen, crafting the will to oppose in others. Do you think so poorly of yourself?

TRAGEDIAN 2: If we were so skilled, Immortell, would we have not stopped this from occurring at all?

DIRECTOR: Perhaps so. But I have just entered the stage. And I can elevate this. Elevate you.

[junghaans]

you’re my prince

Chan's POV

There were times when I loved the rain.

Ever since I was a kid the sound that lulled me to sleep was the soft pitter-patter of rain outside. And when I woke up, fresh morning dew would be on my Mom's flowers and the smell of the soil was wafting through my nostrils.

When I had my first date with the man I loved, when we just got out of the restaurant, it was pouring. We dressed elegantly since it was a fancy dining place he reserved. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the center of the road, and my suit was ruined. But we didn't care. He was a romantic, and so was I. We spent the night dancing under the rain, without a care in the world and our eyes brimming with love.

But today, the rain felt a little less comforting, and a lot colder.

The sound of rain hitting the ground reminded me of how he would whip his belt and slash it against my back. The sound of thunder made me remember how he would grab the nearest chair and smash it to bits and pieces next to me. And the absence of people on this highway took me back to the time I screamed for help in the parking lot, and no one dared listen.

I ran away from that man, the one that offered me love and gave me pain instead.

I looked up, and closed my eyes.

The sky was crying with me. Offering me sympathy.

Somehow I smiled, and felt comfort in the compassion I felt in the cold, bitter rain.

I'm in a deserted highway, the kind you see in movies where the lead character probably gets his car broken down. Most times it's a desert, but nonetheless they find a way to get home. Not today, though. I ran away of my own accord. It's my fault I'm still here anyway. I was too weak to even try and walk to see any places I could spend the night in.

But if I haven't ran away, I would've been dead still. A walking corpse, a man no longer alive.

This was the only option I had.

I shivered, and held my yellow jacket closer to me, laying on the cold, wet ground. It was the only piece of clothing that was mine, he refused to let me buy any other garments without him. What I wore were his pants, and his sneakers as well. And I hated it. I hated it so much that even when he left, I still had pieces of him with me.

I stayed in that position for a while, and ended up sitting up since I was too cold. I closed my eyes, just to catch a few flitting moments of rest. I felt a light shining from the back of my eyelids, and squinted them open. What's going on?

My eyes struggled to see because of the pouring rain, but I caught a hazy figure of a red car. I rubbed my eyes and tried to flick away the rain on my face. The car to the driver's seat opened. A tall man with dark coffee hair walked out with a black umbrella, wearing a long, light brown cardigan that reached his knees. He had a white knit sweater and black trousers underneath. Maybe he's a model or something. He looks good.

The man crouched down beside me and held his umbrella above my head, the rain momentarily stopping. I looked up his eyes and it took my breath away, I almost fell forward.

They were beautiful.

They were the same shade as his hair. A deep, chocolate. Even under the dark gloom of the sky and the harsh roar of raindrops against pavement, they twinkled. Like a million stars were dancing inside. He looked at me with so much care and concern that I felt myself tearing up. Nobody's ever looked at me like that. He was the first.

This is stupid. This is the first time I've ever seen him, and I'm already like this? I must've gone crazy. Insane.

I'm not looking for love or self validation after what happened, right? I can't go that low. I look desperate. I don't breathe and exist on love.

I quickly got myself together, and let my brain sort things out. His hand reaches out to hold mine, his palm small yet warm in contrast with my big, shivering ones. He holds it tighter. "Are you okay?" He asks me. His worry was clear, and resonating throughout his deep, clear voice. Even his voice reminded me of the warm hugs of my mother.

Was I okay?

Maybe, maybe not.

Nevertheless, I still struggled to answer. My lack of response was worrying me, since maybe he'll leave me too. Surprisingly, I earned a soft look from him instead. He smiled warmly at me, his eyes making me feel like home. He helped me up on my feet, almost stumbling in the process. He held an umbrella in one hand and my arm in another, and guided me to his car.

I stepped back and shook my head fiercely, afraid to even look in his eyes. "What's wrong? Do you not want to go in?" Cautiously, he loosened his grip on my hand. He took a step and came to face me. I looked up, and said in a hushed voice, "but I'll get your car wet."

He smiles, "that car's importance can't compare to yours, you know. I'm letting you in, regardless if you'll get it wet or not." He held my hand and guided me to the passenger's seat. He let go for a split-second to open the door, and even in that small frame of time, I was missing his touch. I stepped in carefully, already grimacing at the amount of rain I was leaving on the leather seat.

I never thought today would go like this. Me being inside a stranger's car who actually cares about my well-being. It's crazy. I thought I would've just died of pneumonia out there.

Then I remembered the soft, caramel eyes that were staring into mine.

Maybe fate just has a way.

He closed the door and went around to the other side, sitting in the driver's seat and closing his umbrella, placing it beside him and closing his door then. The low hum of the engine comforted me, and I eased more onto the seat, despite worrying still about the wetness. I allowed myself to sleep for a while, a slow descent into a world of black.

I was running. For my dear life. My legs felt like giving way but my mind knew better than to stop. He was behind me. He was shouting my name. Not really my name but a slur of what I was used to hearing.

Slut, whore, bitch, dirtbag, fuckface, maniac. I heard them all leave his disgusting lips. Lips in which mine have once touched. I felt like ripping it off my face. I was so disgusted. How could I ever have fallen in love with such a horrid monster.

I’ve had enough. Of what were once loving hands that caressed my body, they now delivered harsh slaps to my face. The same hands that held my face so tenderly under the moonlight were grabbing candles and dripping them onto my bruised thighs. It hurt. But nothing hurt more than not being to leave.

I was crying now. I sped up running. I was small, and he could easily get me and take me back to the hellhole. But then I heard the footsteps fading. I turned around. He was leaving, he had his back turned to face me. He was walking calmly, as if he never meant to  put up a fight to catch me. I scoffed, a mixture of hurt and relief. Hurt because he didn't even care about me enough to run after me, and relief that he finally left me.

It all seemed too easy, running away. I never thought that just by opening his car and running outside would be the way I would redeem my freedom. But I was glad. I walked a little slower now, feeling lightheaded and dizzy. My steps wonky and distorted. And I ended up falling on the ground. I sighed, maybe it was easier like this. Motionless. Finally I could get some rest.

Then there was a flash of light. Then a cracking, roaring sound. Thunder. Then came the rain.

Someone was shaking my shoulder, and I abruptly woke up. It was the guy. "Are you okay? You were crying in your sleep. Was it a nightmare?" I timidly nodded. He reminds me of a prince somehow. He not only looks like one, he acts like one too. "I parked near a convenience store, we should get down. I'll buy you something to warm you up. But first I'll let you clean yourself up." He smiled, then got out of the car, leaving me with time to fix my sobbing mess. I wiped away my tears and fixed my hair, still wet. He opened the door for me, and I stepped outside carefully. The rain was still heavy. We went inside the store.

I was met with the cold air of the air conditioning above, and I shivered. I wish I had brought a thicker jacket. I rubbed my hands together and blew some warm air, hoping to get some warmth from there. I felt something rest above my shoulders and saw his cardigan. He smiled the same wide smile, and let me sit down. "I'll just buy some coffee, okay? I'll be back."

I smiled back, feeling a rare comfort and happiness just a few moments away from the darkness I was in. I looked at my reflection in the glass. Brown hair, small face, clothes too big for such a small body, and bruises underneath those garments. I was a mess.

The reflection of a paper cup with steam appeared beside me. I looked to my right and saw him sitting down, a coffee cup of his own between his hands. I thanked him and held mine, grateful for the source of heat. I let the coffee's steam pass by my face for a few seconds before bringing it up to my face, taking a sip.

It was creamy. With a hint of sugar. I smiled since this was probably how he took his coffee too. Very much unlike the bitter black I was used to drinking.

The silence was comforting. The neon sign, the rain outside, the soft music coming from the store's speakers, and the sheer presence of him beside me, is enough to make me grateful and happy.

Not soon after, he broke the ice. He leaned his body towards mine, so did I. "So, what's your name? And would you care to explain to me why you were outside when the rain was pouring so heavily?" I smiled, finally able to take grasp of my facial emotions after being so stoic.

"My name's Chan. Kang Yuchan. And I ran away."

He looked surprised with my sudden confidence and outburst, but he was happy with how I was finally talking nonetheless. "Ran away? From home? Or is it something else?" I was about to reply when he suddenly said, "ah, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Park Junhee," and smiled with his teeth showing this time. He looked like a star. He was so beautiful. I was becoming more and more enthralled with him by the minute.

Stop it Yuchan. You can't be like this. You need to get a hold of yourself. You can't throw yourself onto anyone who shows care or affection for you. You'll get hurt again.

I was probably staring too long since he suddenly waved his hands in front of me, confused. "Channie? Are you alright?" My ears perked up at the nickname and my face flushed red, looking down in embarrassment. Channie. It was...nice. I'm not sure if I considered myself worthy of such a name but I liked the way it rolled off his tongue. Like a soft huff of air with the slightest of movements.

"Yeah, I'm okay, sorry. I just blanked out for a bit," ruffling my hair, I heaved out a sigh. It's a messed up story. And a long one at that. I wouldn't want to waste his time. "A-are you sure you'd want to hear it? It'll take up your time..." He smiled at me and held my hand again. The warmth was back. "The rain looks like it won't be stopping anytime soon, right? We have time. And even if we don't, I'll make time for you. I'm concerned."

I held his hand tighter, grasping my courage. I held in my breath for a few seconds, and let go. This stranger is about to know more about my life than anyone else, except him. I'm about to let him know everything now.

Except,

I'm not scared.

I feel like I'd want to tell him everything anyway too.

He makes me feel safe, like a home.

And just that thought makes me be brave.

So I did. I went on, and told him everything.

Doing so, I remembered it all. The pain, but it was okay. I'll be alright.

It was a Thursday when it all started. He just got home from college, and I didn't attend my classes since I was sick. After hearing the door click, I went downstairs, giddy to see Donghun again. He closed the door rather loudly and had a grim look on his face. Nonetheless, I tried my best to be happy and cheer him up.

"Hi Hunnie! Are you hungry? I made you dinner so you could study for your test tomorrow!" I beamed with a proud smile. He said he always loved my cooking. "Not hungry," he said with a grunt. I pouted. "But I made all this for you! Won't you atleast try some?"

"Just shut up! You never even did anything for me, why are you forcing this? You're just a fucking kid that's leeching on to me!" He screamed while throwing his plate on the floor, and grabbing another one and aiming for the empty space next to my feet.

Oh my God. Please, this can't be happening. Oh my God, oh my God. Please let this be a dream, please. I closed my eyes and bit on the inside of my cheek, scared of what's to come.

I opened my eyes for a bit and saw him going up the stairs, leaving me alone. I was motionless, confused, then I fell to a heap on the floor, sobbing, covering my mouth to soften my cries. My shaking hands grabbed the broken shards of porcelain, hiccups leaving my spit-covered mouth. The tears haven't stopped yet. I wished they would.

That night, I ate dinner alone. Me and Donghun lived together, and even slept together, but I slept on the sofa. When I woke up the next day, he already left. Without a note, text, or even touching the breakfast I left and woke up early for. It left a hole in my heart, thinking that maybe this whole relationship will end soon.

He wasn't the same Donghun I knew. His eyes were bleak, smile almost non-existent. What happened to the Donghun I knew that danced with me under the rain? What happened to the Donghun I knew that almost starved himself at school just to buy me a record player for my birthday? What happened to the Donghun I knew that went stargazing with me despite his fear of the dark?

What happened?

Maybe it was all a lie, the Donghun I knew. Maybe I was just fooling myself to see what I wanted to see. Maybe he's had enough of me. He calls me worthless anyway.

It went on like that for a few months. Donghun being aggressive, not even caring to apologize about it, and I still stayed despite it all. Why, you ask? I didn't know too. I used to say that it was because of love, but now maybe it was fear. Fear of angering Donghun more than I've already had.

When Donghun's anger got the best of him, it wasn't pretty. There were times when he dragged me at the mall, earning evident stares because of my hurt cries. He would take out his belt at home and whip me on the back for about 20 times a day, and even when I was shouting for help, no one batted an eye. The worst was when he slammed me against a concrete pillar in an underground parking lot. I barely made it alive, my head was bleeding. Luckily someone called for help. Bastard Donghun lied all the way and said he tried his best to help me when I fell.

At that point, I was numb. People started asking about the bruises, so I did my best in covering them up, mastering my fake smiles. Whenever Donghun had a death grip on my arm, I just smiled. Whenever Donghun threatened me at home, I just kept quiet. It's better to say nothing rather than barking back and getting thrice more pain that I already have.

A couple of weeks after, I was in his car, going home after going with a party of his. No music from the radio, just the slow, steady hum of the engine and tires on the road. Then I realized,

I could run away. Right now.

It’s  a highway, deserted by the looks of it. I could run away and no one would be there to care. Yeah, I could. I could open the car door right now, despite Donghun being right next to me. I could.

I licked my lips, gulping nervously. My heart pounding so loud in my chest I could hear it. This is it. The moment I've been waiting for. All I need to do is just to reach the-

"Hey, can you grab me the charger I left in front of the dashboard?" Donghun says without as much as looking at me. I jolt, hands retreating back to my sides, nervous and finicky. "Y-yeah, of course." He looked over at me with confusion, with my sudden stutter and all. I flashed a weak smile and grabbed the wire and handed it to him, going back to my chair as fast as lightning.

He stopped the car for a bit to attach the wire to his phone, and my brain short-circuited for a while. This is it. You have to do it now, Yuchan. Now or never.

In a rushed daze, I forcefully pulled up the car lock, opened the door and ran outside, the fresh air almost suffocating. I ran, sprinted if you would call it. My legs felt like wires. I could hear his voice, laced with more anger than usual. Saying it's slurs. I could barely hear since the wind was harshly blowing against my ears. But I heard him say my name. And a few other disgusting titles.

Tears pricked my eyes, and they were now running down freely on my flushed face. I kept running. Then his footsteps were inaudible. I was confused, then turned around.

He was leaving me.

I wasn't even worth the fight.

Then, I fell to the ground. That's where I met him. My prince, Park Junhee.

When I got to the end of the story, his fists were balled, and it looked like he was about to blow up any minute soon. He placed his fingers on his temples, and heaved out a heavy sigh. "So, that jerk's name was Donghun, right?" He said the name with so much anger it actually made me rethink of what I said about him, but then again he deserved all the hate in the world.

I nodded furiously. That scumbag. I hope he gets what he deserves.

Junhee starts talking, angrily and without pause. "He's such an asshole. Honestly, you didn't deserve such a monster. You're so beautiful and kind and pure and I don't understand why he wanted to do that to you. Jerk. He's the worst scum of all. Channie, please promise me you will never let such a horrible man like that make you forget your worth, please? You're a star, so bright. You're important."

My face flushed at the sudden burst, and I looked down in surprise. After a few minutes of Junhee cooling down, he let out a soft sigh. He cupped my face with both hands, and I flushed like a beet. I'm internally panicking, since he could feel my cheeks and probably knew what I was feeling. He let out a soft chuckle at my state, and brushed his thumbs against my cheeks. Shit, I'm blushing harder now.

Maybe it won't be so bad loving Park Junhee.

"Channie."

"Y-yeah, Junhee?"

"Run away with me."

I felt all the air leave my chest. It was knocked out, just by those four words. I can't speak, my eyes and mouth are wide open. Why, why, why, why, why. Why all of a sudden, Junhee. Giving me such an option. I want to run away with you. I do. I really do. But I'll be a burden, a rock, I'm just a child, a piece of trash that shouldn't even be taken care o-

"Hello? Channie? Are you still listening?" Junhee's hands were no longer on my cheeks and were now waving in front of my face.

"H-huh?"

"I asked if you had a fever, since you were warm earlier. You've been blanking out a lot lately too. I can buy some medicine for you."

Oh. Of course.

It was just my stupid brain, ha.

I just met him today, why would I even think he'd take an interest in me...I'm dumb. Very dumb. Dumbest. God damn Kang Yuchan.

I shook my head. "No, it's okay. I'm feeling fine, there's no need." I tried my hardest to smile. It hurts that out of all the people I had to fake my smile with, it was him.

Junhee gave me a smile, the kind that makes your insides churn. I loved that smile. I really did. I don't know why but I think I'm really in love with him.

I'm in love with a man named Park Junhee.

Yeah, that's it.

I love the way his eyes crinkle when he smiles. I love the way his smile looks like that of a cat, wide and beautiful. I loved his sparkling eyes. I love the way one eye seems to be a little bit smaller when he smiles brightly. I love the sound of his voice. I love how it rumbles and comes deep from within his body, but still carrying a softness that embodies his persona. I love it all. I love it so so much.

But maybe, I didn't.

Maybe I was just seeking for love from someone else. Maybe...I just wanted Junhee to love me back. Maybe I just wanted to make a home out of him. To feel safe.

But I didn't want to believe that. I'm sure I'm not that bad of a person. Right? Junhee said that I'm important to him. Yeah. He's important to me too.

"Do you have a place to stay? You said you lived together, so I don't think you have any other place to go. We can go to your parents if you want." Junhee asked me all of a sudden. My eyes went wide, and I shook my head. They haven't seen me in years, I think they'd have a heart attack if they ever saw me like this. Plus, they're in Jeju anyway.

Junhee huffed, "looks like you'll have to stay with me then." He flashed me a grin.

Is this real?

Am I still imagining this?

"R-really? You'll let me?" My voice tiny and hushed like a child, still scared that my imagination may get the best of me again.

Junhee laughed, a loud one. "Of course, I'm not letting you fall into the wrong hands again. From now on, I'll take care of you, Kang Yuchan."

I smiled, a real one. All teeth. Mom said I looked like a star when I did. I felt like exploding.

"Junnie.."

His ears perked up at the nickname, but it didn't look like he hated it, so I guessed it was okay. He had this big goofy grin. I hope he feels the same way I do about him, seeing him like this.

"Yes?"

"You remind me of a prince. You know, for saving me at such a time, and accepting me."

He smiled so brightly my legs felt weak. "Can I be your prince, Yuchan?" He held my hand and kissed the back of it and held my palm to his cheek.

Fuck, my heart is about to burst. I love him. I love him so much. Truly. I don't doubt that now. I don't care if I'm hallucinating his feelings for me. I love him more than anyone and anything else in this world. In my eyes, there's only him. He's my everything. I want to cuddle with him at night, hold hands, and let him know that I will love him til my last seconds, and even after that. I want to grow old with him. I want to spend the rest of my life, forever, with him.

Only him.

I let out a smile from the bottom of my heart. So wide, and my eyes overflowing with love I felt like they were tearing up. My eyes conveyed all the warmth I felt in my heart.

"You're my prince, Junhee."

“Waaah Manell nakikita ko nalang sa timeline ko na tinitry mo mag-pursue ng law while studying engineering and stuff and I'm so proud of you, you have no idea :( Dati talaga sobrang lost natin sa buhay tas ngayon I'm so happy seeing you chase after your dreams, with a clear goal in your mind :( Miss na kita sobra huhu and it saddens me so much kasi feeling ko sobrang nag-drift apart na tayo. I have so much to tell you but gets ko naman na busy ka. Kahit sobrang tagal na natin di nagkikita or nakakapag-usap, the moment na andyan ka naman na sa harap ko, feeling ko parang walang nangyari. All the comfort and trust I have in you is still there and I hope that never changes. Lam ko namang love mo ako sooo :p To be honest, feel ko sobrang different mo na ngayon sa dati kong blocmate na si Manell. Tangina dati naiinis ka sa mga nagtatawag ng beb/whatever/nagkikiss emoji HAHAHA anyare?? Pero despite that, you're still one of the most important people to me (as if may choice, bigla ka nalang dumadating sa bahay ko). Happy new year!!! Joke lang HAHAHA. Happy birthday, metromanella!!! :) Ginawa ko nang conyo to kasi baka miss mo na ka-conyohan ko. Love you!!! (yuck) <3 Looking forward to more quality time with you! Sana mas marami na sa 2018??? Tangina naman eh dejk HAHAHA enjoy your day.  <3 <3 Matanda ka na, gago. :*“
