how would the ros feel if they heard mc saying i love you to them in their sleep? (or maybe just i love you to no one in particular for extra pain idk your choice but i feel like jareth is gonna be an ass smug regardless)
scenario: first time saying it in a romantic context but they're not in an official relationship
hebe: ur both in a bed that both of u are familiar with, hebe is awake doing sketches on her laptop with the cup of tea u made her before falling asleep. she chuckles when she hears it and just reaches down to pat ur head to let u know she's there. she loves u too. u have forever to talk about it
windo: awake bc he's stressed and ur sleeping in his bed to comfort him. u accidentally fall asleep first and he guiltily gets up and tries to finish a paragraph of his essay. idly thinks cute when you're talking in ur sleep but doesn't pay it much mind until he hears the three words. gets back in bed with u and tries harder to fall asleep bc he knows that's what you'd want
sailor: ur watching a movie on the couch and u fall asleep on them cliche. they play with ur hair/draw soothing patterns on ur shoulder because it's just like. how it is with u two. you mumble it out and they just sigh and rest their head on urs. "love you more," they mutter.
jelly: repeats it over and over in their mind until they forget just how u said it. ur cuddling and they're comfortable with this little intimacy but there's no way they're ready for that. happy to convince themself u were talking to some dream character instead for now. maybe a celeb crush. starts thinking about whether or not celebrities can have celebrity crushes
twenty: in his university apartment. you've never been to his room at home before. u fall asleep in his bed before he can really process what's happening. feels like a thousand bugs crawling under his skin because there's so many things he wants to tell u, about him, about how he feels and what if you think they're stupid things. knowing u could love him is scary.
noir: u fall asleep in his car and he has no idea what to do so he just sits there in the driver's seat after parking and simmers. say u love him and he suddenly gains the confidence to wake you. or, on the other hand, he just can't bear to have u this close when he wants to tear his hair out. tries to pretend u mean it for a while.
honey: isn't gonna deep it. maybe u do love her, maybe u don't. u can tell her when ur ready. she just smiles and resolves to do everything she can to make u feel comfortable doing so. understands both the fragility and strength of love better than most of the others.
jareth: on the contrary, guilty. he once thought making u fall for him would be the biggest boost to his ego but it just...isn't. he hasn't felt human in a long time and the hypothetical blood of his prey just doesn't taste as good as it used to. doesn't want u to love him. that means he has to be better.
ludo: "congrats, idiot," he mutters. then he feels bad about it. u look cute when u sleep and now his intrusive thoughts are telling him to flick u on the forehead. manages to hold himself back. it's crazy that he's actually starting to feel comfortable with u.
monty: feels safe. it's easy to get anxious at night when sleep is the only thing to do, but for a little while nobody and nothing else matters. if the world starts to fall down around u both tomorrow then that's alright. wraps her arms around u from behind and squeezes.

Tumblr media
Kim Taehyung was born December 30, 1995 his father left him when he was 11 years old that is when Taehyung realized that love never lasts. His mother pretended that his father never existed, she quickly hid the family photos away, along with covering his tomato garden with dirt. Taehyung wanted to ask where he went but stopped wondering when he heard a few of his classmates whispering that Taehyung’s dad left them for a young woman in her twenties. 
As Taehyung grew into his teenage years he would often get asked out by his classmates, he wouldn’t decline, accepting the dates to see if he can ever fall foolishly in love like his Mom once did. However, nothing ever happened, he would kiss them goodnight but won’t call them the next day. In high school he lost his virginity at a party, he wasn’t nervous, just did things he’s seen in filthy pornorgraphy. The very next day the girl spread the rumor that Taehyung was a sex god, that he probably had sex everyday with a different people. Was that a compliment? He remembered thinking to himself as he sat in the back of the classroom, feeling people secretly stare at him. 
That day he met Jimin. Jimin was a popular boy that everyone swoon over. Of course he had a girlfriend, they have been dating since middle school. The guys would gawk at her when she would wear a sports bra to track practice. Taehyung was in art class sketching an apple, Jimin came over and talked to him as if they were friends. It was nice, Taehyung listened to Jimin complain about his art. When class was over, Jimin asked Taehyung to hang out with him after school. When Taehyung sat on Jimin’s bed, he looked over on the desk and saw a picture of Jimin and his girlfriend. Right next to it was a picture of what he assumed was Jimin’s family. A Mom, Dad, an older brother, and Jimin. He turned his gaze back to Jimin...who was undressing in front of him. Jimin’s underwear was the only thing on, Taehyung didn’t expect him to have lean muscles and define abs. An hour later  they were both breathless, exhausted from the sex. 
“ I’m not gay.” Jimin tells Taehyung as he cleans himself with a rag. 
“ Okay.” Taehyung shrugs and pulls his pants up. He’s watched gay porn and straight porn before and got turned on by both of them, so it doesn’t come to much of a surprise that he enjoyed the sex with Jimin. 
*******
Taehyung watches from afar when Jimin kisses his girlfriend in the school halls, wondering if that’s love. The next few months, Taehyung and Jimin fool around more. Jimin would call Taehyung over, then they would fuck and they would both be on their way. There were never conversations or pillow talks, until right now.
“ I’m gay.” Jimin confesses to Taehyung. 
“Cool.” Taehyung shrugs, looking for his shoes. 
“ That’s all your gonna say?” Jimin rolls his eyes grabbing his t-shirt wiping the come on his stomach. 
“ I’m bisexual, happy?” Taehyung looks at his phone and notices a missed call from his mother. He tucks his phone away, “ Why are you still with her? Your girlfriend.” He finally asks the question he’s been meaning to ask since the beginning.
“ I love her and I don’t want to hurt her, but I can’t love her like that.” Jimin looks at the picture of them and flips it down, almost ashamed of how much of a coward he is. “ Plus my Dad would kill me if I told him I like men.” He throws his head back looking at the ceiling not wanting to cry his eyes out. 
Taehyung thinks love is complicated, he thinks people who are in love are selfish. They rather hurt themselves for the sake of love. It’s stupid he wants to tell Jimin that but he keeps quiet until Jimin looks at him with tears eyes. “ I don’t know what to say…”
“It’s fine...you don’t have to say anything just keep me company, yeah?” 
“ Okay,” Taehyung sits back on the bed watching but not really watching tv with Jimin. 
---
Taehyung’s mom was proud of him when he got accepted to a good college, she would brag to her friends and show pictures of his acceptance letters. Along with bragging how she raised Taehyung all by herself. Taehyung didn’t mind that he was in the spotlight, whatever made his mom happy he would comply with whatever she does. He was good with numbers so he was going to major in data analysis, he really wanted to major in art but his mom laughed in his face, telling him to be realistic. 
Taehyung is now in his third year of college, wanting to just graduate already, done with the shitload of classwork and long ass lectures. Just right now he just finished his homework that took him three hours. He’s about to call it a night until Jungkook barges in his room, yelling at him to get dressed for a party. Taehyung switches his dirty hoodie with a clean hoodie, opting out grey sweatpants with jeans. He keeps his glasses on, due to his eyes being tired and not wanting to irritate them with contacts. 
Jungkook hands Taehyung a drink, there’s obscene music, blunts being handed around, and people grinding on each other. “ When’s the last time you got laid?” Jungkook asked, as he took a gulp of his beer.
“ Last week...I think.” Taehyung searches through his mental sex list, but can’t seem to remember the girls face or name. He looks around and watches a couple argue with each other. The man rolls his eyes as the woman tries not to cry, the woman ends up leaving him and going upstairs.
“ Damn, lucky. I tried to hook up with this girl and she ended up leaving me hanging. Claimed that she’s not over her boyfriend, started crying on me when I was going down on her.” Jungkook cringes, sipping more alcohol. “ Be my wingman, yeah?” 
“ Sure,” Taehyung nods. Jungkook is talking to this pretty girl, and she laughs at every joke that Jungkook makes. Taehyung wasn’t even sure why he asked him to his wingman when Jungkook can easily get a girl to bed. Jungkook nods absentmindedly when Taehyung excuses himself, he wanders around the frat house looking at people getting wasted. Once he gets tired of it he goes upstairs, hoping to find solace in an empty room. He opens a bedroom door, and notices a girl with a pencil and notebook. “ My bad-,” Taehyung is about to close the door.
You look up from your sketchpad, you see a tall man with messy curls and glasses. “ You can stay,” you observe him, he looks like he was forced to come here. There’s no red solo cup in his hand, he looks like he hasn’t a good night's rest. Also why else would he look mindlessly into rooms, the bathroom doors have a handwritten sign stating ‘BATHROOM’, so he must be bored or something searching into bedrooms. “ Or don’t. I don’t care.” You watch him close the door, entering the room.
“ Is this your room?” Taehyung looks around the room, noticing posters of naked women and marvel posters. Weird combination he notes. Along with the dirty clothes scattered all over the floor. 
“ No,” you laugh. Shutting your notebook close, taking notice of his nice hands brushing his hair back. “ My friend’s room. I didn’t really feel like partying just decided to sketch,” you lift your pad up. He nods and sits on the bed.
“ Can I draw?” Taehyung points towards the sketchpad. He hasn’t drawn in months too busy in his schoolwork, his fingers would sometimes draw on foggy windows but nothing more. You nod tearing a piece of paper out and handing him a pencil, he thanks you. 
You were sneakily glancing at him, sketching him, his angular jaw, messing hair, uneven eyelid, long eyelashes. Getting lost at his elegant features, wondering if he knows how beautiful he looks. You shake your head for easily fawning over this man. His hands are even beautiful, they travel across the paper gracefully with each stroke. You turn your eyes away when he makes eye contact with you, cheeks getting warm. “ What’s your name?” You ask while shading the contours of his cheeks.
“ Taehyung.” He folded his paper into a small square, putting it into his pocket. “ Yours?”
“ Y/N,” you smile.
---
“ Did you get laid yesterday night?” Jungkook is shirtless with scratch marks behind his back, there’s a couple of hickies on his neck.
Taehyung takes a sip of his tea before answering, “No, just talking to some girl. Her name is Y/N.” 
“ Y/N. She’s a nice girl. One time I forgot a scantron for class and she gave me one. She’s also friends with Namjoon.” Jungkook pours himself coffee sitting next to Taehyung. “ Are you interested in her?”
Taehyung would be lying if said he wasn’t interested in you. When he entered the room he thought you were pretty and had a kind smile. “ Maybe...why?” 
“ It’s best if you don’t try to get at her. Y/N looks the type to fall in love easily.” Jungkook sighs cracking his back on the back of the chair, groaning at his achy body. Taehyung wonders how can someone fall in love easily, he’s not one to believe in love at first sight or any kind of stuff in that realm. “ Alright, I’m gonna take a quick shower and then we can leave.” 
Taehyung and Jungkook are at the library studying or trying to study, Jungkook is texting someone the whole time instead of studying for his macroeconimics test. While Taehyung is playing video games on his phone. “ Hey guys! Didn’t know you actually study Jungkook,” Namjoon jokes, ruffling Jungkook’s hair. Jungkook rolls his eyes pushing his hand off his head mumbling curse words at him. Taehyung looks to the side of Namjoon and notices you laughing as the scene unfolds. You’re carrying ice americanos and Jungkook immediately takes it out of the carrier, thanking you. 
You look at Taehyung placing one in front of him, “ I didn’t know what kind of coffee you liked.” Taehyung is wearing similar clothing to what he wore at the party, mostly muted green colors and his circle glasses, his hair is pushed back with a headband. He looks surprised to see you, but nevertheless thanks you for the coffee. The conversations between Jungkook and Namjoon get more serious when they finally decide to study for their materials. You try to study but you want to talk to Taehyung wanting to get to know him more, you nudge your foot against his leg. He looks up, looking at you in question, you nod your head towards the exit entrance, he nods slowly unsure to what you're up to but following your lead. Jungkook and Namjoon are too invested in their studying to see you and Taehyung leave. “ Do you wanna go to my apartment?”
“ Sure,” Taehyung shrugs. The apartment was small and kind of messy, you try to hurry up and toss some of the paintbrushes in the sink. There’s water cups filled with murky colors, and paint marks on the tables, he’s not used to a sight like this. In his apartment it is always clean and tidy, not a dirty plate in sight. “ You live by yourself?” he asked, placing his stuff on the table. 
“ Yeah, my roommate moved four months ago with her boyfriend.” You give up cleaning the mess since there’s too much to clean. “ Want some-” You are interrupted when you feel Taehyung’s lips on your, your hands push his chest flustered at the sudden kiss.
“ I-I- sorry...I must have read something wrong,” he looks embarrassed immediately backing up giving you space. “ I thought you invited me to your apartment for sex.” Taehyung notices how your eyes widen, fuck he feels like an ass, scared that he made you uncomfortable. “ I should go…” he goes to pick up his bags ready to bolt out.
“ I just wanted to talk...to get to know you better,” you speak before his hands grab the doorknob. “ We can paint and talk, if that's okay with you?” 
“ Are you sure? You don’t want me to leave?” 
“ Stay.” You go to the sink to wash your dirty brushes. 
Taehyung sits down looking at the wall, notices a canvas of a man, he has plump lips, gentle eyes, overall he is beautiful, something that seemed out of this world. Maybe it was the way it was painted that made it appear like that. “ You painted that?” Taehyung speaks shifting his gaze to you.
You look at where Taehyung was pointing at, it was the painting of your ex boyfriend, “ Yeah, that’s my ex boyfriend, Seokjin. The professor told us to paint the definition of love…,” you stare at Seokjin’s face, remembering the memories you shared. The brushes are all cleaned and you set them down, grabbing some water colors that are in the cabinet. 
“ Do you still love him?” Taehyung curiously asked, watching carefully at your reaction.
There’s a slight pain of thinking about him, truly not over his death. “ Yeah I’ll always have love for him…” 
Taehyung wants to ask more about him but doesn’t want to intrude, he doesn’t say anything else but paints. This is when Taehyung feels like he’s truly being himself painting, expressing himself without saying anything. Moments like these wish Taehyung would’ve chosen doing what he has a passion for insteading appealing to his mothers standards. 
“ Why are you a data analysis major?” The artwork he is doing is remarkable, there’s dark undertones and eerie about it but it is beautiful something that you have to keep staring at.
He chuckles, “ Because I need to eat.” You look down feeling a little insulted he must've noticed since he immediately apologizes. 
“ It’s okay. You know if you ever want to relax and paint, you can come here,” you continue painting small flowers. The first time, he smiles and nods his head.
---
5 months later
This is the third flower shop visited and he’s getting more tired with each second. “ This arrangement or this one?” You ask Taehyung, as you hold two bouquets. One was more filled with carnations and the other was filled with lilies. He gives it some thought before pointing at the carnations. “ This would be pretty to paint,” you smell it getting happy inside.
“ Finally, when can we eat...I didn't eat anything this morning,” his stomach growls at the thought of food. He’s still carrying the vases you bought at the thrift shop, you had to plead with you to not buy another antique mirror because he knows he would have to carry it to the apartment.
You gave the cashier the money, as he wraps the flowers in newspaper, turning your head you look at Taehyung, “ Why did you come with me if you were going to complain the whole time?” You laugh at his scrunched nose as you pinch it. The flowers are handed back and you thank the cashier, leaving with Taehyung.
“ Because I wanted to,” Taehyung shrugs. In your apartment he puts the flowers away as you cook him food, he always enjoys your cooking. When he was younger all he ever ate was ramen, never really ate some home cooked meals, his mother was always busy working trying to financially support the family so he never once asked his mom for dinner. Even at his own apartment he doesn’t eat Jungkook’s food since he doesn’t know how to cook either. Sometimes when he’s hungry he’ll just come to your apartment and you’ll be more than happy to cook for him.
When Taehyung enters his apartment Jungkook is watching anime, foot propped on the table and sipping some beer. “ Back from your girlfriends’ so soon?” 
“ Not my girlfriend but yeah, I left my schoolwork here so I had to come back,” he sighs. Taehyung doesn’t get mad when Jungkook teases him about you being his girlfriend, but he sometimes gets annoyed. He likes the friendship between the two of you, it’s different from any other friendships he had in the past. “ Tomorrow night the apartment is mine. This guy wants to hangout with me.”
“ Just say he wants to fuck you,” Jungkook yells as Taehyung closes his bedroom door. 
---
You meet Taehyung at the park with some bread, he hugs you and asks about your day. “ It was okay. Had lunch with my Dad, but it always ends up in some lecture. I swear, sometimes it feels like I’m fifteen or something,” you tear a piece of bread throwing it into the pond watching some ducks gobble it. You try to look at Taehyung but it hurts when you see some hickies on his neck. On the day you were about to confess your feelings to Taehyung you asked him if he ever loved someone, he laughed and said that he doesn’t believe in no such thing as love. As much as you wanted to disapprove of that idea, you couldn’t be the one to change it.
He grabs some bread, chucking some pieces out, “ What was the argument?”
You laugh thinking about your Dad’s red face, “ I invited him to my apartment, and he found the blunt we smoked together in the ashtray.”
“ Shit, I should’ve thrown it away,” Taehyung laughs too, pushing some of his hair back. 
“ Just glad he didn’t find any of my sex toys,” you cringe just thinking about it. You feel something tugging the end of your skirt, looking down you see a toddler smiling cheekily pointing at the bread. You smile, “ Here, have fun,” you hand him the rest of your bread. You watch him wobble as he runs to his mother throwing the whole slice in the water. 
“ Sex toys?” Taehyung asked once the child was out of sight. “ Like what?,” Taehyung is interested, he doesn’t know, maybe because he can’t imagine you using them. Or he wants to know how you use it. There were times when Taehyung wanted to have sex with you but he turned those urges off. He doesn’t want to give you mixed signals remembering Jungkook’s words of advice. “ Never-”
“ A dildo, vibrator, hitachi wand, or even my favorite pillow,” you trail off not thinking much until you realize who you are confessing to. “ I-I uh…”
“ How often?,” Taehyung asked quietly, not wanting any other people hearing the conversation. He shouldn’t get turned on but he is.
Something about Taehyung’s deep quiet voice is making you squeeze your thighs, “ Every night…” You're still looking at the pond, watching the ripples that are caused by the ducks swimming away. You can feel Taehyung's stare but you ignore it. The conversation switches to another topic when you talk about your school work. The sun sets and you both part ways.
The sound of tea kettle wakes you up from your concentration of you sketching, sighing you pour yourself the tea. Looking at your art, you turn it over not wanting to see Taehyung’s face right now. But fate has different plans when you hear knocking on the door, Taehyung appears, he lets himself in and is close to your face.
“ Taehyung?” You’re puzzled at his frazzled state, deeply staring into your eyes. 
“ Can I kiss you?” The words are quiet but firm. Stupidly you nod, not caring about any consequences. His hands cup your face, immediately going into the kiss. The kisses get deeper, his hands travel to your hips bringing you closer to him quickly, you lose friction from the fluffy socks you're wearing causing you to slip, immediately grabbing Taehyung as you fall backwards. His hands are quick to save himself from not falling onto you. There’s a slight pain on your tailbone but is immediately forgotten when Taehyung goes back to kissing you.
The big t-shirt you are wearing is tossed, his hands immediately fondle your breast, his lips leaving kisses on your neck, groaning as he pushes his bulge against your clothed core. “ Taehyung...let me touch you,” you moan when he bites your neck. He pulls back, pecking your lips before taking off his clothes. Your hands trail against his chest, his stomach, towards his pelvic, trying to remember every part of him. He is surprised to have you touching him like he was some marvel statue, usually his past hookups just rush into the sex. It’s very intimate and he doesn’t know how to feel about it.
 Taehyung groans when you touch his dick, he’s hard and wants to be inside of you already. He comes down kissing you, his hands get rid of your panties, fingers spreading your wetness. The moans you let out are turning him on even more, he stretches you out with his fingers. He likes the way your eyes flutter, the shape of your lips tremble, along with your chest inhaling and exhaling deeply. “ You are so pretty,” he doesn’t mean to say it loudly but he does. There’s a blush that blooms on your cheeks, it reminds him of the flowers you would get to study paint.
“ Taehyung,” you moan slightly flustered at his compliment. He reaches for his pants grabbing a condom. “ You don’t want to go to the bedroom?” The floor is still cold against your back, and the last time you cleaned the floor was days ago. 
Taehyung shakes head, already putting on the condom not wanting to waste time, “ Too far,” he smiles when you laugh. He enters you feeling you clench tightly around, he moans digging his head into your neck. “ You are so tight,” he groans. “ Feels so fucking good, having you like this,” he confesses.
You moan loudly, his thick cock streching “ Oh fuck, Taehyung, please just fuck me,” your hands go to his waist urging him to move. He listens to your command, thrusting slowly trying to get deep as he can. Maybe if you can close your eyes you can pretend that he’s in love with you. He goes faster and cries at the pace he’s going, the pleasure is overwhelming, something that you can’t get with your own hands. “ I’m close already,” your hand goes to tug at his wavy hair.
“ Me too,” his voice is deeper. His hand travels down to your pussy searching for your clit and rubbing it. “ Come for me,” he says into your ear. You moan his name loudly, cumming around his cock, scratching his back. The sight of you creaming around him makes him immediately come, he searches for your lips, moaning your name in the kiss. The two of you lay in the afterglow of the sex, panting loudly his body is barely being hold up, and you laying on the hard floor.
Taehyung gets up throwing his condom away, he looks at you still laying on the floor with your eyes close, the realization of him having sex with you just popped up. He hurriedly gets dressed, then helps you get dressed, he gets shocked when you kiss him as a thank you. The next morning Taehyung wakes up early, making sure to leave quietly, not wanting to disrupt your sleep.
---
You weren’t going to lie, it kind of hurt not waking up beside Taehyung but you shouldn’t have gotten your hopes up. Namjoon invites you to a kick back, only inviting a few people to his house to chill and drink. You take solace on the couch, watching people get high and drunk, you weren’t in the mood to do either so you make conversation with a slightly high Hoseok. He’s in mid-discussion about Shrek being a cinematic masterpiece, when Jungkook yells from the door entrance that he has Taco Bell. Taehyung is beside him wearing all black beanie, crewneck, and sweatpants, but still looks better than half of the people here.
 You turn your gaze back to Hoseok who’s left walking towards Jungkook immediately grabbing a taco. Sighing you decide to get fresh air, staring at the tall dark buildings. “ Whatcha you doing here by yourself? It’s fucking freezing,” Taehyung speaks out closing the slider door standing by you. He takes off his vape pen inhaling it.
“ Wanted fresh air,” you shrug, still staring at the buildings. “ Hoseok left me for tacos. He was onto something, saying that Shrek is a masterpiece. Who knows maybe he’ll write his thesis about it.” Taehyung chuckles, he keeps looking at you and you finally stare at him. “ Why’d you kiss me yesterday?”
He blows out the smoke, and puts his pen away, “ Cuz I wanted to,” he shrugs not thinking much about it. 
“ Nothing else?” You arch your eyebrow.
He continues to stare into your eyes “ Nope,” he shakes his head.  
Some part of you wanted him to say that he had feelings for you but in the back of your mind you knew that wasn’t going to happen. You smile pushing his chest, “ Well that’s the last time we are ever going to do anything like that.” The both of you know that is a lie.
---
For the next couple of months you and Taehyung continue sleeping with each other.
When you are studying with Namjoon in the library, Jungkook and Taehyung spontaneously show up, causing Namjoon to groan. “ You know you love me,” Jungkook jokingly says sitting next to him. 
Taehyung sits down next to you, looking at your classwork, “ How long have you been studying,” he whispers. 
You turn to look at the time of your phone, “ Like four hours,” you sigh. He hands you a jolly rancher, you immediately put in your mouth. “ Why are you here? You texted me that you were going to take a fat ass nap?”
“ I wanted to see you, kind of missed you,” he lays his head against the table. His eyes close when you brush his soft hair. 
“ I’ll be done in forty minutes.” He lets off a quiet okay continuing to look at you doing your work. 
Taehyung wakes up to you caressing his cheek, his neck is in pain from the awkward position he slept in. “ Where did Jungkook and Namjoon go?,” he looks at the empty seats. He tries to crack his neck and watches you pack your stuff.
“ They left about twenty minutes ago,” you get up stretching your legs. “ Let’s head home. We still have left over pizza,” you groan at the pain on your lower back. 
For some odd reason Taehyung liked hearing you say home, there’s some comfort it gives him but he never says it out loud. Taehyung grabs your backpack, holding it for you as you walk towards your car. You look in the fridge for the pizza, but Taehyung has other plans when he closes the fridge door, pinning you against it kissing you feverishly, his tongue already begging for entrance. Laughing you push him away, “ What’s gotten into you?”
“ I told you...I miss you,” his hands are on your waist. He kisses you again, picking you up easily and placing you on the kitchen table. He takes off your pants and panties, and you reach for his pants but he stops you forcing you to lie completely on the table. “ Look at you, laying so pretty on the table,” he bends down kissing you on your lips before he goes down on you. 
He licks your cunt, gently prodding his tongue up and down. Your hips move frantically wanting to feel more of him. His rough hands pin your hips, and he continues with his teasing, lightly kissing your clit before touring you with his slow pace.  “ Look at your pussy, it looks like the roses you painted yesterday…,” his finger goes up and down your folds.
The words make your cheeks grow hot, “ No it doesn’t,” you get shy shaking your head. The embarrassment fills your body, for maybe shamelessly liking his compliment. You are probably never going to look at roses the same way ever again.
“ Yeah, it does Y/N, but your pussy is more pretty,” he continues to tease you. Wanting to see you get more flustered, he likes it when you do it gets him more turned on. “ I wonder if it smells like roses too,” he’s about to smell your pussy but you hold his head. He watches you cutely shake your head. 
Taehyung is filthy but it makes you get even more aroused. “ It won’t,” you whisper, wanting to cry but he shakes his kissing the inside of your thigh to try to comfort you. 
He smells your pussy and he groans, your heart thumps faster and nervous for what's about to say, “ It smells better,” he kisses your clit. His tongue keeps tracing your folds gently wanting to make you beg for more. The movement of his tongue makes you want to pull your own hair out. The pleasure is barely there but it grows within each second of his tongue flicking up and down.
“ Taehyung,” you let out desperate whine, “ please, I need more.” One of his hands slap your cunt, and your back arches surprise but even more turned on. You never knew that you were into that. The sting hurts at first but shoots up ecstasy after a nanosecond, you can’t help but seek more. “ More!” 
Taehyung lets out a dark chuckle, he gives you another slap, slightly harder on the center of your clit, the stinging making your face scrunch up but letting out a lewd moan. He groans at your wetness seeping out some of it landing on the table.
Suddenly, he is done with all the teasing, and dives in, nose touching your clit and tongue inside your entrance going in and out. Finding it extremely hot that you are riding his face, like the pillow on your bed. Taehyung vividly remembers when you showed him how you ride your pillow last week. The way you desperately let out cute whines trying so hard to relieve yourself as Taehyung only watched, wanting to see you get off without his help. 
He moves his face side to side so his nose can rub your clit. Head in the clouds, your body is floating with ecstasy wanting to stay in it forever. Your hands reach down trying to anchor yourself, Taehyung reaches for your hand holding it tight. You cry out his name loudly, coming intensely, your eyes are shut when it doesn’t seem to stop. Your body finally calms down, looking down you see Taehyung’s face is completely wet. “ Oh my god, did I-
“ Fuck, that was hot,” Taehyung wipes his face with the back his arm. He kisses your lips, he helps you from the table, handing you your panties. 
“ Let me repay you?,” you tug at his belt loop, you look down to see the bulge is gone and there’s a wet stain. Your eyes widen, “ Did you come?”
“ Yeah, you squirting on me, made me bust a nut. I swore I never came that hard either,” he sighs happily. Laughing you go towards the fridge, finally eating the cold pizza. You hand him one and he eats it in two bites. “ My mom called me today…”
Taehyung hardly talks about his family, you only know that he was raised only by his mother. He never talked bad about her but you can tell that they didn’t have a close  relationship. “ What happened?” You and Taehyung move so you're sitting on the couch.
“ She told me that my father wanted to meet up with me,” Taehyung rolls his eyes. “ Told her that I don’t want to. She started crying and telling me that he’s my father...I sometimes think she’s still in love with him. She’s an idiot.” He lays his back staring at the ceiling.
“ Sometimes it’s hard to get over someone that you once loved. The one you shared your laughs, arguments, touches, memories...vanish into thin air... or you could hold onto it. Love isn’t easy...it’s messy, it’s confusing but it’s beautiful being able to share it with someone. Don’t you think?” You look at Taehyung’s side profile.
Taehyung turns his head looking at you, “ I don’t know...I will never fall in love. I don’t want to end up like my parents,” he closes his eyes.
“ Taehyung-“
He opens his eyes smiling, grabbing your hands, “ Let’s head to bed,” already over the conversation. 
---
Jungkook is cooking breakfast and almost burns his hand when a random girl walks out of Taehyung’s room. Immediately she exits their apartment, doing the walk of shame. Taehyung walks out shirtless with hickies on his chest and dishevelled hair. Jungkook clears his throat, “ Thought you were seeing Y/N,” he turns off the stove.
Taehyung grabs a glass of water, “ We are just friends,” he takes several gulps.
Jungkook scoffs rolling his eyes at his friend’s stupidity, “ Yeah, friends who have sex, hold hands, and almost spend every night together. My bad I forgot they changed the definition of ‘friends’ in the Webster dictionary.”
“ Whatever man...I'm out of here,” Taehyung leaves the kitchen going to his room. He looks at himself in the mirror, disgusted at his appearance, at the splotchy marks on his neck. Why am I like this? Taehyung leaves his apartment ignoring Jungkook, entering your apartment with his set of keys. He looks at you cooking pancakes, you look at him quickly and smiling.
“ Hey...you want some? It’s your favorite banana pancakes,” you flip the pancake. He looks at the big stack of pancakes you have on the table, you continue with the last couple of pancakes and sit down taking a couple of bites. You are consumed by the taste, not really focusing on Taehyung until he clears his throat, looking at him you notice marks on his neck. Your heart plummets, you thought the whole time the two of you have been messing around he wasn’t seeing anyone else. “ You hooked up with someone else yesterday?,” you set your utensils down.
Taehyung nods trying to look nonchalant, “ Yeah, is that a problem?” 
“ No,” you try to lie to yourself but it’s no use, your face looks the opposite of how you feel, disheartening, you can’t save face even if your life's on the line. Swallowing hard you shake your head, “ Actually, yes. It is a problem,” you sigh. “ I don’t understand you. You treat me like a lover, but then you do things like this…” you get up from the kitchen table tossing the plates in the sink, not caring that you didn’t finish the meal, “ I open my heart with you but you don’t do the same. I feel used in this relationship or whatever the hell this is,” your hands clenched tightly as you turn around and face Taehyung.
He’s now by the kitchen counter standing up, “ I told you I’m not looking for love. I’m sorry if I gave you mixed feelings but I don’t want this to end whatever we have with each other. I like how things are-”
You scoff, rolling your eyes at his words, “ Well I don’t...if you want to fuck around then do it... I’m not going to care for you like I love you anymore.” The angry tears stream down your face, your hands wipe them before he could, “ Go Taehyung. I wish you the best,” his face is etched with subtle pain, turning away from him you wash the dishes not bothering to look at the sound of him leaving.
---
Three days later
Taehyung hasn’t been sleeping well, tossing and turning, giving up completely and decides to study all night long. This has been a daily occurrence since the fight with you. I’m not going to care for you like I love you anymore. Taehyung groans, wanting to get the image of you out of his brain. Jungkook knocks on his door, eyes widening at the sight of him, “ You look like shit, c’mon Namjoon is having another get together.”
When Taehyung shows up to the party he watches you have a conversation with Hoseok, from a far distant, unsure how you would react if you saw him. Taehyung waits till Hoseok leaves, walking towards you as you are on your phone texting someone. He watches you jolt as he calls your name. “ Hey,” you greet him but there’s no smile or warmth like you usually greet. And he hates it, it makes him feel like a stranger.
“ About the last time, I’m sorry that we got into an argument,” Taehyung apologizes, he tucks his hands in his pockets, a nervous tick he developed when he was elementary. 
“ Ok,” you nod your head, not wanting to discuss something so private in a social setting. “ I should get going, I got a research paper to go over,” you give him one last glance and leave, not saying goodbye to anyone else.
Taehyung doesn’t like the way your back faces him, leaving him all alone with a place full of people. He pushes against people not wanting to let you go so easily, he wants to talk to you, he wants to hear you talk. He wants to lay in your bed and listen to your heart beat while you stroke his hair, letting him fall asleep in your arms. You're opening your car door, and you halt when he calls your name, you wait patiently for what he’s going to say. Please stay.  “ I-I uh...I wish you the best, Y/N” Taehyung says. He watches you give him one last small smile and drive away. 
---
Six months later
Taehyung hates visiting his mother, there’s always something unsettling when he enters his childhood home. As soon as greets his mother she comments about his weight, his slightly long wavy hair, and baggy clothes. She doesn’t ask him college, she never does. Instead he listens to her talk about her work. “ I told your father that you're in town,” she says over the sound of the faucet. Taehyung nods, handing her the dirty dishes, “ I told him you are free tomorrow, you are going to visit him at IHOP,” she leaves no room for argument. 
The sun wakes up Taehyung before his alarm does, he doesn’t really put in effort to look nice but when his mother gives him a look, he changes into something more appropriate. Maybe if Taehyung was in middle school he would be nervous meeting his father but now that he’s an adult he couldn’t care less. It takes him a while to find his father, he looks older from his adolescent years, has a few gray hairs and slightly wrinkled skin. His father stands up, and Taehyung immediately holds his hand out giving him a handshake not wanting to receive an awkward hug. His father looks surprised but compiles, awkwardly laughing and sits down taking a gulp of his hot black coffee. “ I ordered your favorite,” his father points to the triple drizzle chocolate milkshake with a red cherry on top that is set in front of Taehyung. “ How are you kiddo? You look so grown up, your mother has been feeding you well, huh?”
“ Yup.” Taehyung looks at the red cherry. 
There’s too much uncomfortable tension, and his father is letting more awkward coughs to try to fill the silence. “ Almost done with college, yeah? Just three more months, and you gotta face the real world,” his father comments.
Taehyung has been facing the real world since he was a teenager, he worked when he was in highschool to pay for college, he cooked his own dinner because his mother always came home late, he didn’t need to graduate college to find out the world was shitty. “ Yeah.”
His father tries really hard to have some sort of conversation with his son.“ You still like to paint?”
Taehyung smiles, getting reminded of you. He wonders what you are doing right now, if you are painting the canvas he bought you when you guys were friends. “ No. I mean yeah, sorta. I painted with this girl, she made me fall back in love with painting but I did something horrible to her. Now I can’t paint without thinking about her,” he sighs. 
There’s surprise etched on his father’s face, since more than a word came out of his son’s mouth. “ Seems like a very important person to you. You should talk things out with her, don’t want to lose someone like that.” 
Taehyung rolls his eyes, “ Why? You did the same thing to us.”
“ Taehyung-”
“ You really fucked me up father, I hate that you and mom made me this way. I want to love her but I’m scared...what if she ends up leaving me like you did. I rather be alone for the rest of my life than to have someone steal a part of me,” Taehyung grits his teeth.
“ I-I I’m sorry Taehyung...I really am. I hate myself everyday for not visiting you, I should’ve been there for you...Your mother and I once loved each other but sometimes people fall out of love, but that doesn’t mean love is evil. Don’t give up on love because of our failed marriage, son, you deserve to be in love.”
---
One week later
“ Fuck, watch where you going asshole,” you yell at the asshole who wasn’t paying attention that made you drop all of your art supplies. He doesn’t even bother apologizing, just continues to walk with his friends. You pick up your pencils, someone helps you pick up your other materials. “ Thank-” you stop midway when your eyes are met with Taehyung. He hands you the sketchpads, you quickly put it in your bag, “ Thanks.”
“ No problem. You just got out of class?,” he asked intently looking at you.
His hair is pushed back by his headband, showing his forehead, he’s wearing his usual baggy grandpa clothes. It makes your heart flutter, but you quickly push the feeling away. “ Yeah, but I have to go back to pick up my two pieces,” you shrug. 
“ You need a hand?” He offers with a careful smile.
You contemplate, you don’t want to make two trips, “ If you’re not busy…”
He eagerly shakes his head. “ I’m not, let me help.” Taehyung follows you to the art room, and picks up the pieces easily despite it being large canvases. There’s silence when you are done putting it in your car. 
“ Thank you,” you give him a grateful smile. “ Do you need to ride home?”
Taehyung took his car to campus but he lies, he accepts your offer in hopes that you guys can talk things over. The radio is on low, and Taehyung is almost near his apartment, “ I lied I don’t need a ride,” he starts off and you let out a surprise laugh.
“ Why are you just telling me now?,” you are about two minutes from the destination. 
“ I wanted to talk to you about what happened to us-”
You sigh, not wanting to reopen bandage wounds on your heart, “ Taehyung, I’m over it-” 
His head turns to face you, “ I love you. I think I always loved you since we became friends. I was scared to tell you because it was something so new for me...I was selfish, I thought that everything we had was fine but I never took your feelings into consideration.” He’s breathing really hard because he finally confessed his heart out, something he vowed he’ll never do since he was a child. 
“ Why? Why now?,” you swallow hard, not looking at him but only the road. Scared that if you look into his eyes, you’ll get lost into them. 
“ It took me a while to come in terms with how I am feeling. Because love is messy right?,” his voice cracks.
The car is now parked in his driveway, “ Yeah, it is.” Turning to finally face him, he has little tears in his eyes that haven’t fallen. “ I still love you, Taehyung,” your hand touches his soft cheek, caressing it. Taehyung leans closer to you and you close your eyes expecting a kiss, instead he sobs against your neck. Feeling wet tears against your neck, you try to coddle him but the tight space in the car is not giving you any room to do so. “ Tae, why are you crying?,” you comb the back of his curls.
Taehyung pulls away giving you a tearful smile, “ Because for the first time in my life I know what love is.”
end.

Flowers for a girl
A/N: This still comes back sometimes, so I thought why not to write it down, though I don't exactly remember some parts of it for some reason (is it ptsd? idk), but in Middle-Earth AU, Kili is little younger (12-13 in human years, in TH he'd be like 16-17 i guess. Reader is 10-11 years old) and it happens before TH events. It's something different than I usually write, because it's based off on my personal experiences, so...yeah.
I wanted to write it down mainly for myself, to accept my past. If this is happening to you, please seek for help!! Better be safe than sorry. If you'd needed to, my ask box and messages are open, if you need to talk.
Warnings/triggers: description of emotional and physical bullying, body shaming, very low self esteem of reader, hints of swearing, eating disorder thoughts, mention of catcalling
If any of these is triggering you, please don't read this story!! Even if there is fluff, there are still these.
Tumblr media
"Look at that fatty," one of the boys laughed into her direction. Y/n felt tears swelling in her eyes.
Don't cry, don't cry.
"How much do you weight? I bet as much as a pig!"
"You are so ugly and fat!" The other one said and pushed her. Y/n tried to do anything, but she was too scared.
"No, give it back, that's mine!" She said, when the boys took her sketchbook.
"Look at those drawings, they're like so bad," one of them pointed at them.
"Give it to me back!" She tried to grab him, but he put his arm up.
Don't cry, please, don't cry, not now...
"Ah, then come and get it!" He runned away, and Elle tried to catch him, but he was quicker.
"Ha! You out of breath already, you ugly fat pig? C'mon, come for it!" Him and other boys laughed. Y/N tried to catch his shirt, but he was running and jumping around.
"Look at how she jumps, look at her! It's like pudding!" They laughed. Y/N felt tears to come up into her eyes.
Don't cry, not now, you can't...
"Look, she's gonna cry!" You looked away, blinking furiously.
You can't cry in front of them.
"Leave her alone!" A voice came from behind the boys. They all looked back at him.
Y/N couldn't see him, she was shorter than them, and they were around her in a circle.
"Or what?" Said one.
"Look, the fatty got a boyfriend, eww!" One of the boys, and Y/N wanted to hide somewhere. She felt scared, shameful, and embarrassed.
Who would have ever loved her?
"Look, she's not speaking," they pushed her and Elle let out a surprised gasp as she fell to the ground.
"I'm saying it again, leave her alone," the other boy said. She looked around, and noticed him looking at her. She blushed, and looked away. He was handsome.
She knew she will hear about it later.
"Or what? What are you?"
"I'm Kili, from the line of Durin, and I would suggest you to get out, if you don't want me to kill you," he growled out, and Y/N felt fear rising in her. Would he hurt her?
Kili pointed the tip of one of his daggers to the main boy's throat, who then quickly took his friends and went away. They even threw her her sketchbook back.
"Did they hurt you?" Kili asked, then looked down at her for the first time.
She refused to look at him at first, but then she did. She was scared, and reminded Kili of a bunny.
She could be around ten years old. She was a human, he guessed, based on her ears.
"No, I'm...I'm okay," Y/N whispered and looked away.
"Thank you," she muttered.
"What happened? Why did they followed you?" Y/N looked down in her lap.
"I was drawing and reading here. I think they seen me, and went after me...it's been my safe place," You whispered.
"I can stay with you, in case they would come back," Kili offered before he thought of it. At this point, he was sitting down next to her.
"I-I don't know. They would laugh at both of us..." she said quietly, fearing of a wave of laugh. Kili furrowed his brows.
"How long has this been happening to you?"
"For over a year..." you said.
"I'm Y/n," she said a little awkwardly.
"I'm Kili," Kili introduced himself, remembering how his mother taught him to introduce himself.
"So that's decided, I'm staying with you," he said, and muttered some curses in Khuzdul, as he thought about the group.
"H-here, take my coat. It's getting cold," he said. She smiled nervously.
"Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you anymore," He offered her a smile, and she decided to take his offer, though she hoped he won't comment on her warming up face, or her body. She liked him, he was not just handsome, but actually kind to her.
It has never happened to her ever before, with a guy, who was a stranger...
The coat was big on her (that was a huge relief) and she cuddled into it.
"So, what are we going to do now?"
"Well, I-" Y/N didn't finished her sentence, because the first drop fell on her head, and other quickly started following. She gasped and quickly put her belongings to her bag. As she finished, it was raining heavily now. Her hair was soaking wet, sticking to her head.
Now he will see how I'm ugly, and laugh at me and call me names, and- she wanted to cry. Kili noticed her expression.
"So they did hurt you? Where is it?" Y/n shook her head, as they walked in the heavy rain.
"N-no, I just...I hope the sketchbook didn't got wet," she decided for the safer version.
"But you got wet. Where do you live?"
"Well...around twenty minutes of walk," Y/N said, so if anything, he wouldn't try to find her, though she was kind. But just to be safe.
"I'll take you home with me, it's not that far," Kili offered, and you quickly turned to him. He was kind, but her parents warned her about going somewhere with strangers.
"I-I think it's okay, thank you for your offer,"
"You are going to get wet to bone if you keep walking," Kili said and Y/N looked at him, but quickly looked away. The rain sticked Kili's hair and clothes to his body, and she blushed.
He surely has a girlfriend, don't be stupid, she snapped at herself.
He would never want to be with you, you are a child, and he is older. And he is super kind and handsome.
"Alright, then...I will go with you," you said unsurely. She thought she would think of something, if anything would go wrong. Plus, he was a prince. Y/N doubted he would do anything like this, if he was a prince.
"Amad, I'm home!" Kili said as he closed the door behind him. Y/N curiously looked around. It was a nice small house, with the smell of bread hanging in the air.
"Come with me," Kili said, and as Y/N was about to make a step, she noticed the puddle, and how she was soaked.
Before Y/N knew it, she was sitting in clean dry clothes, borrowed from Kili, wrapped in sweater and a blanket, sipping on warm tea.
"Kili, who is this?" Dis asked her son quietly. Kili looked at the human girl.
"Well, some boys called her names, so I went there, and then started raining, so I told her to come with me, because she told me she lives futher away, and she was soaking wet already..." Dis nodded, though she eyed her son, if he wasn't hiding anything.
"Where do you live, dearie?" Dis asked the little girl, who shyly looked around.
"I live near that small forest, my family owns multiple fields, and we work there," she admitted to the woman, who introduced herself as Dis.
"Would you like to have anything else to eat?" She offered her. Y/N shook her head. She didn't wanted to embarrass herself, and look like all she could do was to eat.
"No, thank you for your offer," she smiled, and carefully sipped on her tea.
The rain stopped, and Dis went with the girl where she lived, to explain what happened, and make sure she was safe.
Kili didn't seen the girl for next couple days, but when he was on the hunt in the forests, he overheard a conversation.
"He was cute, brown eyes and he was kind to me," Smile stretched across his lips, as he recognized that voice. He wasn't considered as too attractive among his kin, but hearing this made his heart warm up.
"Blue eyes are prettier, aren't they?" a voice of another girl said. Y/N was quiet.
"Well, they just are. Brown eyes aren't that pretty," the girl said.
"Don't you think so?" She turned to Y/N.
"W-well, um, depends on a person, I think?" The other girl got up.
"They are prettier." Kili could clearly see how Y/N looked down, and she seemed to feel sad.
He walked away, with thoughts of Y/N in his head, when he suddenly overheard some voices in the distance.
"Do you think we will find the pig today?"
"Probably. Her and her ugly drawings."
"It's not just her drawings who is ugly," the boys laughed.
"Do you remember her? 'Don't do that,' and then she went and started swearing back at us,"
"We are going to get her back, don't worry. She's slow runner, what about if we would take her things and made her run around? She would lose some weight at least."
"Great idea," other boys said. Kili felt his blood boiling.
How dare they to talk about her this way?
As the boys walked along, Kili prepared to scare them a little, but then he overheard another things.
"The guy who protected her, he has horrible taste in girls."
"Yeah, what a jerk. And those eyes the small fat pig made on him," one of them widely opened his eyes and wildly started blinking. The other boys were laughing.
Kili gripped his bow. He didn't knew the girl too much, but nobody deserved to be treated this way.
His arrows found their target quickly. The boys stopped, and looked around. Kili noticed they were really afraid, and smirked to himself.
When he came back home with two rabbits, he decided to go look around again. The sun was still not setting, so he still had some time.
His thoughts took him far away, and he didn't noticed he stepped on something, that felt like a pencil. He looked down, and realized it was a few pencils, hidden in grass, and when he looked around, he noticed sketchbook, hidden in old willow. If he wouldn't know what to look for, or didn't had as swift eyes, he wouldn't ever notice it.
He took the sketchbook out. It was familiar, and though he felt a little guilty, his curiousity was stronger.
He noticed a few sketches of trees, flowers and attempts of drawing people. They all were made with precision. They were not as realistic, but that certainly didn't mean they were not nice. It was drawn by someone, who was still learning, but truly excited about it.
Kili put it back carefully, and got back home.
It's been a few weeks, when he met the girl again. He came home with Fili from sword training, and his eyes widened when he noticed Dis with Y/N, chatting in the kitchen.
"Hi," she greeted them shyly.
"We have first strawberries, so I thought I would bring some for you," she shyly looked at Kili.
-
"Stop it," you muttered. Kili rose his brow.
"Oh, what is it?" He looked her into face, and noticed her shy smile, while he was grinning.
"You made me obsessed with these strawberry cakes your grandma bakes, can I have another one?" He made puppy eyes. Y/N sighed.
"Fine. But don't distract me, okay?" Y/N handed him the sweet pastry, and Kili winked at her.
"You're the best," He kissed her cheek quicker, than he thought of it. They both deeply blushed.
"Um, thank you, I suppose," Y/N muttered, and looked back into her sketchbook.
Meantime, when Kili chewed on his cake, Fili came back from his and Kili's room, and started reading a book. He started laughing, and Kili quickly took a look what was his brother laughing about.
"C'me read this, Y/N, this is so funny!" He said, but his smile froze, as he noticed her ashamed expression.
"What happened, Bunnie?" He used the nickname he gave her, because she loved bunnies. Y/N sighed.
"Well, um...it's embarrassing," she whispered.
"Neither of us will laugh at you, I promise," Fili said, and the girl looked at both of them. She took a deep breath.
"Icannotread," she muttered, and quickly looked away.
"You can't...read?" Y/N nodded shamefuly.
"It's, um...the school is too far for me to go  alone there, so, um...yeah." The brothers shared a look, which Y/N took in different meaning. She felt tears in her eyes, but Fili was quick enough to notice.
"No, we won't laugh at you, Y/N!" He said and pulled the girl into a bear hug. Kili quickly joined.
"Yeah, Bunnie, don't worry. We would never laugh at you," Y/N relaxed in the hug.
"Thank you," she muttered, and hugged them back.
They spend rest of the day by teaching her how to read, and write. Soon after, Y/N started studying with the brothers.
-
"You are distracting me," Y/N muttered, as Kili was kicking his legs back and forth. It was summer - over four months after they met. Y/N sat up on the tree, and Kili was sitting down on branch a little lower.
"How can be that possible?" He looked at her innocently. Y/N blushed, when she seen his big brown eyes in sunlight. They were in shades of melted gold and caramel.
"The tree is shaking, and I want to enjoy reading this book without distractions."
"I'm not a distraction!" Kili pouted.
"You are," Y/N offered him a smile, and got back to her book. Kili pouted a little more.
"Will you read it to me, then?" Y/N looked at him, and dramatically sighed.
"Fine. But let's sit down on the ground," Kili got down, and then he carefully placed his hands around her waist, Y/N placed her hands on his shoulders for support, and he put her down.
Y/N sat down, her back leaning against the tree, and Kili placed his head on her lap. Y/N smoothed her skirt and placed her book next to her, so she could read it, while playing with Kili's hair.
Y/N was the only one allowed to touch Kili's hair, aside from Kili's family. She never understood why dwarves were such touchy about their hair, but again, she was the same way, so she fully respected it.
Kili fell asleep after a while, on the sound of her voice.
-
"You the last cake I said was mine!" Y/N growled out and Kili laughed, but he quickly stopped laughing.
After the months of spending time together, running around the fields and archery lessons, she got much stronger, so her punches had strength and would hurt. Kili and Fili would never hit or fight with a girl, and though Y/N became like another part of the family, only tickle fights were allowed with her.
"You-you Kili!" Y/N was more upset than angry, and Kili started laughing again, as he was jumping around and trying to get away from her punches.
"Stop, Bunnie," and tickled her.
"N-NO-T T-HAT P-PLAC-E, K-KI-LI!" Kili grinned.
"Awn, who is ticklish?"
"I ha-te you!" Y/N slid her hand across the back of his neck, and Kili let out a squeal.
"N-NOO!" You giggled as you started tickling him.
"Gotcha," You sticked out your tongue on him, and quickly runned away to hide, before he would get you back.
You runned, but didn't noticed when you bumped into someone.
"Aah, long time no see," a voice said, and you shivered.
"You squeled on us, huh? Is that everything you can do? You loser," the boy said. Y/N kept quiet, with her head down.
"Oh, look guys, she's going to cry! What are you gonna do? Run to your mommy, or your friends? Go on, you tettle-tale." Elle felt tears in her eyes, and quickly looked up.
"I'm not a tettle-tell, I-"
"That's what you say, and then you will go and tell your mommy about 'the big boys are bullying you'," they laughed. Elle wished she could hide somewhere, and try to cry. She wasn't able to cry, even when she was alone, as she learned to hide her tears.
Whoosh
And then a yelp from the boys.
Y/N looked up and noticed the arrow in one of the surrounding trees. It was Kili's arrow.
"You told someone to spy?! You will pay for this later," one of the boys said, and then another two arrows pierced through the air. The boys quickly walked away, leaving her alone.
Kili runned out from behind the trees, and pulled her close to his chest. He started saying something angrily in Khuzdul, and Y/N was sure those were swear words.
"Shh, it's okay, I'm here," Kili whispered, when he finished his quick session of swear words. Y/N shook in his embrace.
"Let's go home," he said. They picked up his arrows, and went home.
Kili made Y/N tea and gave her his favourite sweater, which also happened to be her favourite as well.
When Y/N went to sleep, Kili checked her every few minutes. He felt guilty. He should've protected her better, stay with her.
He carefully sat to the edge of the bed, and slid his thumb softly over her cheek.
"I will make sure they get what they deserve," he muttered and softly caressed her cheek.
-
"Sure, I will go with Bella and Alia, you don't need to worry about me, I will be safe," Elle gave Kili a smile. Her two friends from her neighbourhood, with who she enjoyed to spend time too.
"I just don't want you to get hurt," he shrugged, and sharpened his dagger. Y/N started on brushing her hair.
"The boys won't do anything, if they meet us in a group. Plus Fili gave me that sharp dagger for my fourteenth birthday, I always keep in my shoe."
Kili looked at his friend, focused on brushing out the knots in her hair. Y/N grew up and changed the way she reacted to what other people told her. But that wasn't just what changed.
She grew up into a young woman. She was beautiful, and some girls were jealous of her because of it, but luckily, Y/N had great friends.
"You home, sleeping beauty?"
"Oh, of course I am!" Kili grinned as he heard Bella's voice.
"No, you are snoring beauty."
"That's Fili!"
"That's both of you," Y/N rolled her eyes, but chuckled. She and Kili said their goodbyes to each other, and her friends she knew for three and two years, turned to her.
"So, how was your date?" Y/N blushed.
"He gave me flowers for my birthday, so what? That's what friends do." Y/N turned to Alia to change the topic.
"How about you and girls?" The blonde rolled her eyes.
"Some of them are arrogant, but other than that it's good. But I have you, so I don't care," she grinned and hugged her friends around their shoulders.
"So, what do you-" Bella started, when a group of boys passed them. They whistled, and started talking about them. Y/N's cheeks blushed, as she overheard them.
"Don't listen to those idiots, they still share one brain cell," Bella and Y/N said at once, and they all laughed, though Y/N didn't felt any happiness. Her instinct to run and hide from these boys was still there.
-
And then we arrived to the market. I still looked around if they were not there, but luckily not, Y/N wrote down the sentence, and put the notebook aside. She felt happy they didn't recognized her, but it still stressed her out. She looked over to the bow and quier with arrows Kili gifted her, when she had thirteenth birthday.
"Trouble with sleeping?" Kili's raspy voice appeared behind her.
"Yeah," Y/N sighed out, and pat on the bed next to her.
"C'me here, snoring beauty," Kili chuckled at that nickname.
"Ugh, again?" You nodded with a grin.
As you laid in safety of Kili's arms (and him being soundly asleep), your mind turned into a specific direction. Would Kili like you? Not just as a friend, but...more?
You'd fall asleep like this, if you had bad dreams. Kili fell asleep first, and softly snored, but he looked cute while doing so. You shook your head, and decided to listen to his breath, and soon, you fell asleep yourself.
The memories of the times you used to be bullied by those boys came back. You didn't felt confident at all, and mostly sad. You couldn't fall asleep at night, and you often found yourself looking over your body. Fat pig, that's how they called her. Was she still...like this? Would she ever be pretty enough?
It's been a while, since she cried before sleep, and then fell asleep afterwards.
The brothers noticed something was going on, when their friend seemed to be bothered by something. So, they decided to do thing they always did, which was making flowercrowns together.
-
"You're messing it up, Fili," you giggled, when the blonde prince's flowercrown fell apart.
For fifth time in twenty minutes.
"Well, I'll go get some fresh flowers, over here," he pointed to the carpet of daisies in the golden light of setting sun.
"Guess who," Said smooth voice next to your ear, when his hands covered your face.
"Hmm, is that you, Ki?"
"Who else."
Kili sat in front of you, and placed a flowercrown on your head. You both stood up, and he twirled you around.
"I've got you something else," he whispered.
"Flowers," you looked happily over the small fresh bouquet of wild flowers, and felt warmth spreading in you. You looked into his chocolate eyes.
"Kili, thank you so much, it's...it's beautiful,"
"Not nearly as beautiful as you," he looked deeply into your eyes.
"Flowers for a girl," he said, with a slightly pink-tinted cheeks.
"Now finally braid her hair," the lion prince's voice interrupted the romantic scene.

did you really think I was gonna say that and not give you akaashi headcanons? 🤨🤨
anyways some of these are general akaashi headcanons and some are romantic ones
☆ he's not the best at art, but he learned basic anatomy + sketching techniques just to create portraits of you
☆ he's really great at poetry and creative/descriptive writing though and writes about you and generally the way you make him feel
☆ once compared you to grass though 💀 but it turned out kinda nice because it was a metaphor for how even when people hurt you you always come back and you keep him (the dirt) from being washed away and stuff 🥺
☆ he has a good singing voice. I think he'd be a tenor, and his voice is good for jazz he can also play the piano really well (it's those long setter fingers 😩)
☆ he loves flowers and either has little potted ones around place or a small garden outside. you've caught him talking to the plants about you. all good things, of course. I think his favorites would be lillies (the white ones I think) but idk much about flowers
☆ he likes to get you jewelery (bruh how do you spell that???), especially engraved jewelery. sometimes it's got random dates on it and you have to ask him what happened that day, and he'll start telling you about something you thought was small but meant a lot to him that happened that day. usually it's a day when you two had a date and he felt it should be remembered.
☆ he really likes musicals. not as in he's a theatre kid (though he could be) but more like he loves the stories and how they're told through song and dance.
☆ he annotates his books. sometimes you'll borrow one from him to read and find he's underlined and written about things that made him think of you 😭
☆ he's very romantic but he doesn't necessarily try to be. he's also naturally very aesthetic.
☆ he can tap dance. I've literally been in tap dancer akaashi brainrot since I listened to "King of new york" from newsies 😭😭 and he's so HOT when he tap dances, he's really good at it but he hasn't practiced/done lessons in forever, so he's a little rusty. but he used to do competitions and stuff and was extremely good at the dance.
☆ I feel like although he doesn't really seem like one to do so, he uses reaction memes in texts somewhat often. not just the affectionate ones, but also the "😐" or aggressive ones (very hot of him to use reaction memes 😌)
☆ he collects mugs! he drinks coffee in the morning so he needed some mugs at first, but then he started getting one wherever he traveled to as a souvenir (and he doesn't travel too often, whether it's for vacation or business it's usually around every other year or something) and now he has a whole cupboard of mugs
☆ he also likes tea. and while i feel like he prefers his coffee somewhat bitter, he usually adds milk to his tea. I think he's also a big fan of boba tea, and his favorite (mine too) is milk tea (made with black tea) with brown sugar and boba
☆ his dream home is an industrial apartment (is that what it's called?) with a balcony or patio. he likes the city since he's from tokyo... I think. he'd love to live somewhere where the skies are clear and he can see the stars, but he's gotta live near the city for work 🥲 though some stars are visible, at least, from that patio
☆ he likes to wear rings. even though he's lowkey insecure about his fingers and rings would draw more attention to them, he likes to fidget with the accessories
☆ he's really good at braiding hair. he hasn't really practiced, he's just a natural. first time he braided your hair it looked really good and both of you were kinda shocked. he's pretty good at hair things in general, actually.
☆ loves holding hands. LOVES LOVES LOVES HOLDING HANDS.
☆ he really likes fuzzy blankets. whenever he's on the couch he's wrapped up in one.
☆ one of his favorite cuddle positions is with you sitting on his lap, curled up almost cat-like with your head on his chest and his arms wrapped around you. and a fuzzy blanket.
☆ he has really long, dark eyelashes and it's so pretty.
☆ he likes talking to you about his dreams and he likes hearing about yours.
☆ he's down to try anything with you. you want to try veganism? he'll join you. want to learn a language? so does he. want to get a tarot reading? what a coincidence, he was thinking the same thing!
☆ he has a little tattoo above his right ankle. it looks exactly like this ☆ and it remind him of you 🥺
have a great week ily nova 😊

@ezraslittlebirdie tagged me to share 5 facts about me... Well uh... Thanks for your interest :’) 
1. Basic info: my full name’s Lyudmila but basically everyone calls me Lucy. One of the reasons is that I’m a huge beatlemaniac and, you know. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds :) I live in the north of Russia. Profession - teacher of English and French but currently my main job is a librarian in a medical university, and I give lessons in the evenings as a side job. Virgo, 31 y.o, INFP, Ravenclaw, forever single, annoying perfectionist, maybe not a very good person ‘cause I can be jealous and selfish, but I think I’m quite loyal though. Idk.
2. Creative activity: been doing it since very young age. Always loved handmade, drawing, sewing, making bracelets of beads, etc, etc, etc. I always loved drawing but I started doing it consciously only about 5 years ago. I wasn’t very good at the beginning and I almost gave up at some point, but then Nicholas Hoult liked my sketch of Nux from Mad Max: Fury Road on twitter. So, basically I’m drawing thanks to him, and he’ll never know xD Nowadays I’d say my hobbies are drawing, making gifs, scrapbooking (I make cards for friends) and writing.
3. I started writing almost 2 years ago, thanks to a friend. I always had stories in my head, ever since I remember myself. But I’ve never thought of writing them down, because who needs my daydreams? All these fantasies are probably already written - that’s what I thought. I’m still very surprised someone actually reads my stuff, especially considering the fact I write about not so popular characters. Talking about writing, I used to write diaries when I was at school and university. I could just sit and write anything that comes to my mind - a stream of consciousness... Idk why but now it’s gone. Although I’m thinking of trying to write some kind of a diary (on the paper) again.
4. I’ve never been a fandom person. I usually fangirl with just a couple of friends, in the internet I’m just a quiet fan who seldom initiates conversations because I’m an introvert, I guess. But small fandoms are okay and comfortable for me. I think it’s also a reason why I write unpopular characters... But it’s actually weird. You see, on the one hand I need attention. I CRAVE for it. I need other people to tell me I’m good enough. But on the other hand too much attention kinda scares me %) This is why, for example, I chose to write for Ezra not Mando - Mando is too popular for me xD Guess I need attention but from not a very large group of people... and mostly from the people whose opinion is important for me. Yep, I’m weird :’D
5. I like theatre and cinema, travelling, rock music, riding a bicycle, reading. I drink a lot of tea at home, but I usually take coffee in the cafes. Also I’m a geek and I have a rather big comic books collection. 
Guess that’s all I can say. Thanks for your attention. Idk who to tag but y’all can do it if you want.

Can i get a ship w Queen & BoRhap? Not feeling so emotionally great right now and i could use some cheering up. 💕 I’m 5’2, brunette w lots of curls, I speak Spanish and I wanna learn Italian, I love to travel, I always need music on when I’m driving, I love dogs and cats and animals in general so much that I’m slowly becoming a vegetarian. And I’m very artistic, I love to sketch and draw. Thank you! 💞
Im so sorry youre not feeling great lovie ❤ you already know I ship you with Gwil & Bri
Did Gwil go to acting school? Idk but lets say he did
He had a credit floating around that he couldn't grab a hold of
He needed to fill his schedule with something, so why not be a model in a live drawing class?
Usually those folks had to be naked, but he worked out just being topless
You were sitting on your stool arranging your chalk waiting on the model just like anyone else
And here comes Gwilym looking like a greek god
A hunk
A snack
A hottie
Just looking damn good
He couldn't see you cause youre small™ all he could see were your curls bouncing about
He posed, and you drew him for the duration of class
His eyes kept looking in your direction & it made your heart pound everytime you peeked from around your canvas
Then at the end of class Gwilym was making rounds to look at what everyone did
When he got to you, you looked up and was met with nothing but his bare chest
Needless to say Gwilym knew you thought he was hot, he thought you were hot and everything went from there
He volunteered for art class way more often & you sat in the auditorium while he rehearsed for plays
He liked the drawing btw
As for Dr. May
He saw you walking Shelter animals
Well one of the dogs saw him and took off in his direction
Luckily Brian was in a good mood & greeted the lot of the pups with a smile
Then he saw you & his shy mode was activated
Somehow he was smooth enough to walk about with you and the dogs
He slipped in how he was going for tea a bit later
You slipped in how you were free
And for about two hours you both sat over tea you weren't actually drinking
Brian went on a rant about animals that had you all starry eyed
He ended it with a "Y'know?" And you said "Yeah"
And then you both laughed
Freddie likes to refer to you two by your hair
"The curly haired duo" is his go to
Roger says "Bri and smaller, nicer, much prettier, lady Bri"

I had this idea to draw Cooper in a different outfit for the Spring/Summer so i made a Sun Bun! :3
This outfit (in this case a white tank top w/ a loose blue shirt w/ black capris pants) was heavily inspired by an outfit worn by Anna in “When Marine Was There”, I’m sure if you’ve seen that movie you can see the resemblance.
I thought he would look cute in an outfit like that so I drew him in it & decided this is his outfit for when a long-sleeved shirt under a short-sleeved shirt with long black jeans isn’t weather appropriate.
ANYWAY this drawing took forever but thanks for your patience! This will probably be the last drawing I do just digitally, I find if I sketch out my drawings on paper first things go a lot quicker so I’ll probably be doing that from now on until I get a new tablet.
Mod Commentary under the break!
for the record i’ve never actually seen “When Marine Was There” BUT I PLAN TO but anyway the straps may have been a bra in that movie? here they’re from a tanktop, i just couldn’t find a way to comfortably show it other than the straps without it looking weird (i tried to have the bottom of it sticking out from under the shirt but it just didn’t look right so i just stuck with the straps). i don’t particularly care if it looks like a bra i just thought the outfit in general was cute and the straps were a part of that but for the record cooper doesn’t have boobs so it’s a tanktop and not a bra js (in retrospect i probably should’ve added more to the upper exposed chest area but i think that would’ve just made it look more like a bra so it’s whatever, the important part was the straps).
THIS TOOK AN ETERNITY cuz yea this was another one i drew 100% digitally while the last thing i drew (cooper saying good morning to cristabelle) was a drawing that i drew in my sketchbook first and i finished it that night (although it didn’t have color that was a stylistic choice because the art it was in response to wasn’t colored either) but i definitely could’ve colored it if i’d felt like it, that’s usually the easiest part
there were definitely some issues regarding cooper’s white fur parts, especially on his hands ;w; but i never like to get stuck on those things, all i really want to do/tell myself is to do better next time.
i did make an effort to make his paw beans more 3d this time around instead of just circles and i think they’re good for the most part! i changed the shape of his palm bean to something more like i’ve been meaning to draw instead of what i’ve been drawing which was more of a compromise since i didn’t actually know how to draw the palm bean that well yet
it only occurred to me in this drawing that i can move his whiskers wherever so while the whisker on your left isn’t perfectly aligned with the whiskers on the right, i feel like that’s okay because whiskers are things that you can move so he has his right (your left) ones up a little bit because before the top whisker lined up right with the tips of his fingers and it looked really weird, and the 2nd one intersected the lines of a bean (the thumb bean i think?) so moving them also fixed that
i also had the idea to make his shirt a little more loose at the bottom, like have it flowing in the wind or something but i decided against it because i wanted this to be more of a static pose and also because it looks more like his shirt actually fits him, if i wanted to i probably could’ve made it hang a little bit but ultimately i think it just would’ve looked strange so i didn’t do it at all
WHILE THESE DO HAVE AN UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE TO MY AVATARS I PROMISE I DIDN’T TRACE ANYTHING I’VE JUST GOT THIS SHIT DOWN TO A SCIENCE AT THIS POINT or just muscle memory i guess, i just draw & put things where i feel they fit correctly and it all ends up looking the same so i guess that’s just how it is, i’ll try to experiment with more varied head shapes and stuff in my sketchbook probably
there was also a point where his left shoulder looked too skinny and that’s because i had no sense of how shirts worked (how the fabric hangs when you have your arm out like that) so i did actually end up fixing that and it looks a lot better now so that’s cool
i like this one mainly because i got to draw cooper without so much stuff covering his arms & legs, and i got to show off a little bit of his chest which has a white pattern that goes all the way down to the bottom of his tummy (we don’t see that here but i’m js that’s what it looks like)
i like this pose too much lol even tho i’ve only drawn it twice (once with sofia & once right here) but idk just every time i think about drawing a character i imagine them in this pose, especially his left hand, i keep doing that cuz idk i think it’s cute and i’m tryna keep my characters’ hands out from behind their back so that’s just kinda what i default to (also so it doesn’t cover any of their clothing which i like to show off)
i made the sunglasses version last-minute because i got the idea for it when i drew the “sun bun” with sunglasses i was like hm... we can’t NOT have cooper also wearing sunglasses just like the bun on his shirt so i did a quick one of that too, please ignore how the sunglasses have no temples just assume they fit on his face perfectly, no more questions, i’m really bad at perspective atm so i think they’d look really weird also his ears aren’t down there so what would they even be holding on to there’s no point
ALSO HAVING THIS SHIRT SAY “SUN BUN” INSTEAD OF “FUN BUN” BECAUSE IT’S HIS SPRING/SUMMER SHIRT WAS LITERALLY LIKE THE ONLY THING I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE WHOLE TIME I WAS DRAWING THIS BESIDES THE BUN ALSO WEARING SUNGLASSES ASLDKFJLASJOISEJKL
at some point i was debating on whether or not to make the tank top gray like the cuffs of his pants in this case, but it felt like not only was he wearing overalls or something but also that there was too much of that one color on him so i decided to keep it white just to mix things up and not have it blend in so much with the rest of his colors, especially since with color it looked like something i didn’t want it to (overalls)
i think this took so long because i hadn’t drawn a full-body of cooper with the new method i use to draw legs yet so i kept trying to get his butt to form into his legs correctly without making him look too skinny and eventually i got it right (this is why i want to sketch things out before i digitize them so i have more control over my lines, it took so long because it had to be one perfect stroke otherwise it would look bad, drawing that out on paper first would fix that because on paper i have 100% control over where my lines go unlike in SAI where they often like to flip all over the fuckken place)
but yea i definitely don’t have drawing paws down, especially not at angles, but y’know small steps, like i said i try not to get stuck on stuff like that, if it looks good enough i just move on and do better next time
TO THAT END I SHOULD PROBABLY GIVE MY CHARACTERS KNEES/KNEECAPS AT SOME POINT I JUST GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT NOT LOOK WEIRD SLADKJFLSDJFOISDJFLKSEJFOISJEKL
i drew his other foot behind the foreground foot because i didn’t know what else to do with it, but i didn’t want it in the exact same pose so i made it look like he has a little kick in his step which i thought was cute c:
I HAD TO LOOK UP CAPRIS BECAUSE IDK THE MEASUREMENTS THEY’RE LIKE ALL OVER THE FUCKKEN PLACE so basically the length i went for was “not quite shorts, not quite pants” and it looks like capris so they’re good enough lol, at some point they basically looked like rolled up jeans which isn’t what capris are so i made the ends look more like cuffs instead of rolled-up pant legs
ALSO at some point i had his shirt fold over his shoulders a lot like moria’s shirt, and while it looked okay i didn’t want to do that twice and i also wanted it to look more like Anna’s outfit from the movie so i looked back at the gif i had saved and redrew that to look closer to Anna’s outfit like i wanted
the background used to be a blue gradient and i was going to put the sun there but all-in-all it just looked bad so i kept the blue gradient and shoved the “hue” slider all the way to the right and it gave me this cool like sunset/summer tea color so i added some translucent circles to that and i thought it looked like a summer drink in the background so i liked that and kept it
his sleeves look kinda uneven but i assume it’s just the different angles they’re at so i didn’t really bother trying to fix those, also i didn’t know any way to draw the paw beans on his left hand without them looking weird so i didn’t draw them there either, just assume they’re too flat & don’t stick out that much so that you’d be able to see them from that perspective, same with his feet kinda except they’re facing more away so it makes a little more sense for them
anyway i think that’s it for now, i hope you enjoyed this drawing and hopefully the next one will be quicker! thanks for reading & see y’all next time!<3

- 𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚒 𝚛𝚞 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛 -
(o7. january 2o21 - o9. january 2o21)
So... here we go again, Psy testing stuff out in hopes of figuring out how on earth this is supposed to work. Since I posted that sketch of Ruindîr and Ember yesterday, I thought I could try the text-function to chat a bit about the two, as well as my drawing process, including WIPs and so on...
Anyways, let's get to the actual drawing, eh?? Welp, I planned on making this a nice rendered drawing of small Ru and small Ember, since I realised that I... only drew a headshot of Ember once and never drew the two together...
So here's than ancient headshot, so you kinda know what Ember looks like... I never finished the drawing, so... welp, that's just how it is.
Tumblr media
>> pats the sassiest dragon ever <<
Oh boy... I just love the dynamic between her and Ru... they're just so pure and... ah. Makes my heart melt about as much as Feredir with Maethdess or his children, or Certhadan and his dragon.
So yeah... Ember is a dragon, that started off fiting in a teacup after hatching, and the grew exponentially, being stuck in "dog-size" for quite some time, before growing into a large, beautiful creature... ah.... welp, fully grown she's about as big as.... um..... >>looks for size reference<< ... maybe an elefant?? Well, when Ru went to the Paladins in the first place, she was a bit larger than a horse. But in this picture, she's just still big enough to fit on Ru's lap ^-^
... I just realised that I started a sentence without finishing it... like... way back.... so I planned on making this a nice and rendered drawing of the two, but the lost motivation so it's essentially just a glorified and uncoloured sketch in the end >w<""
Here's the ugly start anyways!
Tumblr media
As always, just rough guides, very messy, mainly shapes and placement guides... and for the sake of it, I added some more ugly details to it >w< 
Tumblr media
My main idea was Ru being all worried, having some deep talk, whilst also giving Ember some nice little chin-scratches ..... essentially the combination of adorableness and Ru's worries...
Welp, after the drawing above, I went ahead and started to refine the sketch on top... Ruindîr was a huge struggle, since I wanted to draw him in the age somewhere between these two drawings I've made last year:
Tumblr media
.... I think I did an okay job on the face, whilst also fucking up the anatomy really bad... I'm overall not all that happy with him in this drawing, since he looks less recognizeable than I actually wanted. It wasn't a problem originally, since I would have gone over it with another line-layer on top... but since I just left it as it was, it turned out to bother me quite a bit...
Anyways, the main focus should indeed be directed towards Ember here, since she's the first full-body dragon I drew since... well this abomination here I copied off of a tutorial or pinterest picture in 2o16:
Tumblr media
the quality is indeed terrible.... but it's a bad drawing that I didn't even properly do myself, so who cares about the quality xDD
Welp... a huuuuuuggeeeeee thanks to Mithiell for helping me out on Ember though. Like... idk what I would've done at times without her input of cat-references.. so... >>gives her extra batch of cookies<<
And I also finally decided on what I wanted our little prince to say ^-^
Tumblr media
Anyways. That was all my advancement over the 7. january... on the 8. I didn't do anything. And on the 9. I realised that I probably will never finish the drawing, so I just coloured the lineart, erased the places that needed to be erased... you know, make it look more presentable as a "finished" thing, you know?? (Even though some things still kinda annoy me.... like... the wrong angle of the hand and arm on the (for us) left side... I would've fixed that up, but I'm too lazy to...
Tumblr media
So yeah... that was that then. Even if it is only a sketch, it's an admittedly adorable sketch... so I hope you like that. I plan on drawing small Cev with his fathers dragon sometime soon, since Crona only came along, after being accepted to the Paladins.
That's all for me then. I hope I’ll get the hang of all of this soon, because... DANG do I like this text function here. And I also like tumblr a lot so I can’t wait till posting here becomes something regular for me ^-^
So I will try out how uploading the final picture seperately goes, and then also posting a text-thingy with all the extra stuff around it directly after. Until then I wish you a great day/night/whatever ^-^
>>cuddles you, gives you cookies and some tea<<

Notes Between Strangers (Kenji x F!MC Headcanon)
Another request for a Kenji HC by @aliaisreal ❤ You’re gonna have to tell me where you find these fun FUN prompts!!
Based on this prompt:  “We write notes to each other on the desk we share at different times and I never knew who I was talking to until I saw you stay behind after class to write on it and holy shit you’re HOT.”
Note: Hope you don’t mind, it’s easier to HC when the AU is still somewhat linked to their reality, so instead of classmates this is an AU where they’re coworkers, but Alex (Hero name: Asteria) wasn’t put in charge of Kenji and The Grand, so they haven’t met yet.
Note 2: GOD HELP ME this is practically fanfic all the bullets were so long I just clumped them into paragraphs so yeah. Fun fact I used to write. Majored in it even, but haven’t done so in two years, so any measures to convert it from bullet hc notes to fanfic is probably A MESS™ Hope you like at least some of it tho lol
Word count: about 2800 which is RIDICULOUS. If you’ve never heard of a slowburn hc, well here you go.
HC request prompts / HC masterlist
Tumblr media
Alex is sitting in the Prescott Industries conference room. She always sits in the same seat near the corner of the room, next to the largest chair in the room where her boss, Grayson is sitting. She’s listening to him talk to a room full of clients and noting down everything that’s happening. Sometimes these things go on for hours and they talk in circles. Alex tends to space out. She absent-mindedly scribbles in the edges of her notebook when this happens: little doodles of stick figures flying and fighting villains shooting fire from their hands, or she writes little notes about how she feels.
I’m tired. This meeting is boring and going nowhere. Wish I was in my tub with a good book right now. Or wine.
“Alex!” Grayson calls out, snapping her out of her daze. 
“Yes, Mr. Prescott?”
“Did you get that last part?”
“Yes,” she replies trying not to look flustered, tearing out the sheet of paper with doodles and thoughts on it and placing it in the tiny shelf area the conference room table has underneath, out of Grayson’s sight. By the end of the meeting Alex is so flustered by all the instructions Grayson’s spouting off on their way out of the room that she forgets the piece of paper.
That afternoon Kenji was called up to the conference room to have a meeting with Grayson and a few important figures involved in The Grand’s opening night later that month. He shakes hands all around the table, flashing his signature charismatic grin, and takes a seat next to Grayson in the corner of the room.
He’s absent-mindedly drumming his fingers on the table as he’s listening to the men in suits drone on, when something falls from the table’s shelf and lands in his lap. Curious, he picks it up and reads it under the table, now ignoring Grayson and the others. He smirks to himself, amused by the doodles of whom he recognized to be Asteria, the other hero he’s been seeing running around the city. Kenji looks up and nods along. He answers a question or two to make sure he still looks like he’s paying attention.
He then picks up his pen and scribbles next to the note underneath the hero doodles: 
Books get wet you know. Wine’s good.  A good Darjeeling tea is even better. ;) 
- K
Kenji folds the sheet of paper and returns it to the small shelf, letting it stick out just a little bit in the hopes that it catches its owner’s attention. He’s not sure why he replied. Or signed his name. But he found the writer amusing and honestly, he was bored of this meeting, too.
A couple of days later Grayson calls Alex into yet another meeting in the conference room. Things are getting hectic with preparations for The Grand’s opening. She sits in her usual seat and spots the folded paper peeking out from below the table. Did she leave something there? Unsure and curious, she takes a peek at the note as others take their places around the table.
Alex recognizes what it is the moment she sees her little Asteria sketch and is a little flustered to see that she had left one of her doodle pages in the conference room. She’s about to crumple it up when she notices something new. Alex stares at the words for a few seconds, a little baffled that someone was writing back to her. The corner of her mouth turns upward in amusement. She barely manages to hold in a giggle when she sees a tiny sketch of whom she recognizes to be Talos, wrestling with her doodle of Caleb. Then another of Talos posing with his muscles flexed and grinning.
Amused, she plays along and responds, 
I’ll try that. Thanks, stranger. So… Talos fan, huh? Is it the bronze abs? 
- A
As the days go by and the opening night of The Grand draws near, the conference meetings become frequent. Alex is usually called in with one group in the mornings, and Kenji with another just before the day ends. To pass the time and to relieve stress, they keep up with the notes. Something about the writer’s humor strikes Kenji, makes him want to play along even more. 
Funny! I like Talos more for his shining (get it?) initiative to protect Northbridge. I mean, if we’re talking about sexy heroes I’d say a guy like me would look better with Asteria. 
(A doodle of Asteria inside a heart is drawn next to the note) 
But more importantly, you noticed Talos’ abs huh? You like those? /:) 
- K
Alex blushes at the thought of this stranger being attracted to her. Well he means Asteria, but she is Asteria. 
Hah! Let’s just say a classy girl like me can appreciate a sculpted figure. And Asteria’s wayyy out of your league. 
She pauses and considers this stranger being so candid with her, and she’s interested in him. 
Who are you again anyway?
 - A
Kenji smirks to himself at the new message. He’s starting to like this snarky mystery girl. 
You wound me! I’m a catch! Better than Talos, even. 
(A doodle of a sad-faced Talos with a large X over his abs and a doodle of Kenji grinning, eyes closed and hands on his hips with fireworks behind him sit side by side underneath the note)
And me? Just a company man. Why? You interested, A? ;) 
- K
It’s been about 2 weeks of notes now, and Alex wonders how she still lets herself get surprised by this cocky stranger greeting her during morning meetings. She sits there in disbelief again, but can’t help smiling at the little flirtation he’s started. There’s something comforting about the way they banter that Alex had been enjoying during these busy days. She wonders if she should encourage this.
“Alex,” Grayson calls to her, a slight frown on his face, “you’ve been distracted a lot in these meetings lately. Mind telling me what’s going on?”
Shit, she thinks. 
“Sorry, Grayson, just a little overwhelmed by all the upcoming things to do on our… to do list,” Alex chuckles awkwardly.
“Yes, there is quite a bit, isn’t there?” Grayson replies, sighing. The conference room empties leaving the two of them. “Well, looks like I need to catch you up. I notice your pad’s blank, and you don’t have your laptop.”
Alex’s eyes dart to the notebook resting on the desk. “Right.”
Grayson pulls his chair in closer to Alex and begins to recap the end of the meeting. Alex is rushing to jot down all the important details, forced to stuff the note from “K” back into the shelf, forgotten.
Kenji is a little shocked, and worried, if he were to be perfectly honest, that he didn’t get a reply when he returned. As confident as he tries to be, his thoughts get the better of him; Maybe she just didn’t have a meeting this week. It’s happened before. Or…was I too forward? That usually works. In person, though. Huh. 
The next day Alex hurriedly sits in her spot and searches for a note. She couldn’t find the time to even write back when there weren’t any people in the conference room because lately, there were always people. Or Grayson always needed her. Her hand feels underneath the table and shelf where they’ve started hiding their notes, in case other coworkers used the shelf space, and she lights up when she feels paper. She quickly reads through it before Grayson and the others come in.
The paper was littered with doodles of Talos in various poses with little speech bubbles telling “A” how much he loves her: Talos making a heart with his hands and grinning, or Talos holding out flowers, or Talos baring his chest with the words “I love you” written all over it.
Sorry if I came on too strong. The shameless flirting kinda gets in the way sometimes. But then again maybe you just need to see my pretty face for it all to work? lol I’m kidding. Really, though. Your messages have been the highlight of my weeks.
- K ;)
Alex giggled. She felt a little embarrassed, too, when she realized how much she was smiling by herself. She quickly regained her composure and wrote a response:
Ha. Alright, you’re forgiven… but honestly it wasn’t you. I just got caught up in a lot of work for The Grand. You might have heard of the project? Idk. Things are getting stressful though.
- A
The next days were busy, but it allowed them more frequent chances to pass notes. They both can’t deny that they looked forward to it.
Well! That’s a load off my mind. Couldn’t have the mysterious A mad at me. What would I do during these god-awful meetings?
Huh, you working on The Grand’s opening, too? We must’ve seen each other already. I haven’t gotten a decent night’s sleep actually. Busy busy.
- K
Riiiight. You, too? We would’ve known though, I mean clearly you sit in my seat soo… you work for Grayson, too, then?
- A
Right. Silly me. The lack of sleep and worrying that you were mad at me must have made it slip my mind. Yeah, Grayson’s my boss. Ok, who are you?? 
- K
And just like that the notes went from teasing and funny doodles to little comforts from a stranger. Funny doodles that cheered the other up. Little notes of encouragement. A piece of candy stuck to the back now and then. Alex was liking this side of the elusive K. She realized one day when she didn’t receive a note back that these messages were now the highlight of her workdays, too.
Kenji hadn’t been called up for a meeting in a while. He’d been forced to run around town meeting contractors and designers and musicians to get ready for the big night. He wondered whether or not he should drop by and give Grayson an update anyway. At least, just an excuse to drop off a note for A, he thought. It’s weird. He actually misses this girl he’s never even met before. Maybe in the morning, he promises himself.
It’s the day before the opening night and Alex is in the last big meeting. She decides she’ll leave another note. Maybe he just got busy like she did last time there was a lapse in notes, she thinks to comfort herself.
Kenji calls Grayson to tell him he’s visitng. 
“Hey I was about to call you in for an early meeting. There are a few things I need to coordinate with you. My assisstant will help you out.” 
Kenji comes over in the morning, clutching his note inside his pocket. He lets his eyes casually wander around Grayson’s floor, trying to see if he could spot A. He laughs to himself. You don’t even know what she looks like. 
He decides to head over to the conference room where Grayson is already addressing a group of sponsors. Kenji stops in his tracks when he looks up and sees a woman sitting in his usual seat, typing away at her laptop, occasionally glancing upwards at Grayson. Something tells him that this is her.
Kenji loiters outside the conference room for a few moments, looking through the glass walls at “A.” He couldn’t believe how beautiful she was. He watched her, observed the way her dark hair draped her shoulders. Her smooth skin. Seductive eyes. She was perfect.
He knocks on the door and Grayson looks up to greet him, “Ah, Mr. Katsaros, come in! Everybody, this is Kenji Katsaros, the manager of The Grand I recently hired. Ah, Kenji, this is my assistant, Alex, Alex, Kenji.”
Kenji nods to the sponsors, shakes Grayson’s hand, then turns to Alex and shakes hers, lingering for a second. She gives him a confused look.
Just then Majorie peers her head in the door and calls Grayson out. He excuses himself, leaving Kenji next to Alex. The rest of the people in the room take this time to talk amongst themselves, and Kenji seizes his chance. He leans over to Alex who’s typing on her laptop and whispers, “So Alex,” he savors the name on his lips, glad he finally knows what “A” stood for, “you’re self-doodles certainly don’t do you justice.”
And Kenji watches her as her face changes from confusion to wide-eyed realization. He smirks back at her and winks. Grayson reappears before she could say anything else, and Kenji leaves his seat to sit across from Alex, with Grayson now in between them at the head of the table.
Kenji is relishing in getting to tease Alex in person. He’s definitely in his element now. He flashes her flirtatious glances with those gray eyes of his.
Alex is fidgeting in her seat, trying to stop herself from cracking a smile at his teasing or roll her eyes. She tells herself she’ll ignore him, just focus on her notes and Grayson and the meeting, but she can’t help but glance back at him, too. And she can’t help but notice how handsome he was. Those gray eyes were doing things her to her that she shouldn’t be feeling right now.
Kenji excuses himself to go to the bathroom during a lull in the conversation. He maintains eye contact with Alex as he stands up and turns to leave, slyly smirking as he went.
Kenji takes this chance to make a move. He’s always been one for surprises. He makes his way towards Grayson’s office, looking around for a sign of where Alex’s office or desk might be. He finds a nameplate on a desk in a smaller office outside of Grayson’s, and sneaks in. Kenji picks up a piece of paper and a pen, scribbles something then leaves it right in the center of her desk.
After the meeting is dismissed Kenji hangs back to walk with Alex and Grayson.
“So Kenji, you excited for the opening night tomorrow?” Grayson asks, taking on a more conversational tone.
“Oh, definitely,” he replies, but his eyes settle on Alex who tries to avoid eye contact while holding back a smirk, “Would it be cool if I brought a date?”
Alex’s eyes dart towards Kenji, an indiscernible look on her face. Kenji smirks in response, but speaks to Grayson, “she won’t get in the way of my duties, don’t worry. But showing off The Grand would be an impressive date, don’t you think?”
Grayson laughs and nods, “Of course. Go ahead.”
He glances at his watch and excuses himself, “Sorry, I’ve got another meeting to get to before the day ends. Alex, would you mind showing him out?”
“Not at all,” she replies.
When Grayson leaves she turns to Kenji and they hold eye contact for a moment before bursting into laughter. 
“You are ridiculous! I can’t believe you!” Alex exclaims, giving Kenji a playful shove.
“Sorry! Couldn’t help it. Was too good a chance to pass up,” he says laughing.
They laugh it off for a bit and make remarks about seeing each other for the first time. They don’t admit it but they’re both in awe of the other.
“Hey so, you’re not my boss, right?” Kenji asks her, as they ride down the elevator.
“Nope. So?”
“So I don’t have a date for tomorrow.”
“I thought you said you had a–”
“I asked if I could bring one, not that I had one,” he smirks. They reach the ground floor and Alex walks him to the door, excited at where the conversation is headed, but trying her best to keep cool.
“Well then,” Kenji says with a grin, “see you around, Alex.” 
He turns to leave and gets on his motorcycle. Alex stands there in disbelief, her expectations shattered. All she can do is laugh to herself. 
“Unbelievable,” she murmurs, making her way back upstairs.
Alex walks over to her desk, still scolding herself out of embarrassment for expecting something from Kenji, when she spots a piece of folded paper neatly placed on he center of her desk, and a large “-K” written on the outside. She huffs at the sight of it .
She opens the note to find a phone number and, written in large letters:
Be my date tomorrow, A? Call me.
(A quick and messy doodle of Talos winking is scribbled in the corner)
Grinning from ear to ear and shaking her head in disbelief, Alex dials in the number and calls.
“Yo,” Kenji picks up almost immediately.
“So I saw the note.”
“And?” he says playfully.
“And you’re gonna pay for that little stunt.”
“Promise?”
“You’re absolutely unbelievable.”
Kenji laughs, “I know. Pick you up tomorrow at 8?”

Unknown Parts (Gaston)- Part One
Tumblr media
Pairing: Gaston x OC
Warnings: None
A/N: I know I say this every single time I write someone new, but he was hard to pin down! I definitely went off the live action version, as I felt he had this vulnerable, sweet side to him that appeared once in a while. IDK. Part two isn’t written yet, but I’ll get there. In the meantime, enjoy
@ohmyjesusjake @mortalflower @tea-atfive @panda-reads-stuff
ps- If you want to be added to my tag list add yours here!
Part Two
There was a place near the western end of the village where you could see the sunset perfectly. A place where the houses and shops petered off and there was nothing but a deep, green valley with purple, snow capped mountains in the distance. From there, I could watch as the sky turned a miraculous shade of dusty pink and the sun sank lower and lower beneath the horizon. Stars would then slowly emerge to replace its light. I never got tired of watching. Some people would scoff and say, ‘once you’ve seen one sunset, you’ve seen them all’. But that wasn’t true at all. Each one was different. Maybe only subtly so, but still. The colors were never quite the same. Which maybe explained why I was having such a hard time capturing it in paint or chalk.
I climbed over the low stone wall that separated the edge of the village from the valley below, smoothing my skirts before sitting. The sun hadn’t begun it’s descent just yet so I took my time, pulling my sketchpad out and my box of colored chalks that Rosalie had picked up for me from the market a few months ago. Some of them had been used right down to the nub, not much left but a tiny scrap barely able to be held. I wiggled my fingers a little, my hand hovering over the chalk as I tried to decide which color to use first. I noticed there was still a little blue paint tapped beneath my fingernails and staining the skin around my fingers. I glanced down and sighed, seeing a few blue splotches on my white apron as well. I suppose that was what I got for painting in my nice clothes, right before rushing off to work.  
Rosalie never seemed to mind, though. Maybe because she understood in a way, though instead of paint on her apron it was dirt. She grew the prettiest flowers in the entire village and her shop was always busy. No one even came close to the green thumb she had. I could paint a pretty flower, but was hopeless when it came to actually planting them. Which I suppose was why Rosalie always had me taking the orders and chatting with customers instead of doing any of the actual gardening. I’d been worried I was more of a nuisance to her than anything, but after years of working side by side, we became a team. Though she’d been reluctant to hire me at first, having been only a teenager at the time, I think she was glad now. After all, with her husband gone it must’ve been lonely at times. With both my parents gone, I understood that loneliness.
Life in the village was simple. But I loved it. I loved working in Rosalie’s shop, and I loved my quiet evenings sketching or painting. My eyes lifted from my sketchbook again, flickering across the skyline before quickly dropping back to my paper. The sunset never lasted as long as I needed it to, so I always found myself quickly trying to commit it to memory. It always surprised me I never ran into anyone else at my spot. Well, maybe it didn’t surprise me that much. This was the time of day most people were sitting down to supper with their families after a long day of work. No one ever seemed the least bit interested in things like sunsets, or the wild flowers in the meadow. Or the way the stars looked like tiny pieces of shattered glass strewn across the sky. Neither of my parents had been artists, but they’d always supported and nourished my hunger to capture anything and everything beautiful in the world.
It wasn’t long before the light had faded too much to continue my work. My hands were covered in a fine, dusty powder and I brushed them off on my skirt. My drawing sat in my lap, half-finished. I wrinkled my nose, tilting my head to one side as I studied it. I’d managed to capture the mountains, the shadows of the valley, even some of the wild flowers. But the colors of the sunset….maybe that was just something too perfect for me to ever fully capture on a simple piece of paper.
“Ugh,” I sighed, letting my shoulders slump. 
Slightly more dramatic than what was necessary but there was no one around to say a thing about it. Without the warmth of the sun, the temperature had dropped and I shivered in the coolness. Still, I didn’t leave right away. I waited a few minutes longer until the crickets had begun to chirp and the sky had turned from a kind, patient blue to a deep, dark midnight color. The view was breathtaking. And once again, it seemed I was the only one who cared to admire it. I would’ve stayed all night, had I not been cold, tired, and covered in chalk. I packed up my things into my basket and began my short trek through the village and toward home.
There wasn’t another soul in sight, all the shops and stalls closed for the evening. Nothing but the flickering light of the street lamps as I meandered my way through the empty town square. It always looked so different at night time, without the usual hustle and bustle. So still and silent.
Well, not completely.
From inside the tavern, loud music and raucous laughter spilled out onto the street. I could hear music too, but the melody was hard to pick out over the deafening shouts and voices. It was the only place in town where anything went on after nightfall, but I’d never actually stepped foot inside before. I knew plenty of people who frequented the pub, though. Some for the beer, others for the darts and games, and some just to be in the presence of Gaston.
Ah, yes. Gaston the war hero. Gaston the brave. Gaston the valiant, the handsome, the everything every other man was not. At least that was the picture everyone else seemed to paint of him. Or perhaps Gaston painted that of himself and was just so confident everyone else was inclined to believe him. I’d never spoken a word to him and even I knew who he was. Everywhere he went, heads turned. There was no denying he was handsome. Broad shoulders, narrow hips, 6’0” at least. And with the kind of chiseled features that could put carefully sculpted statues to shame.
Oh, who was I kidding? The man was beautiful. In that utterly attainable sort of way. Not that I was interested. But a girl could look. My life wasn’t all paintings and flowers after all.
I blinked, realizing I’d stalled to a complete standstill outside the tavern’s heavy wooden doors. I quickly looked around, hoping no one was around to notice me standing outside, staring at the lit up windows like a fool. There I went again, daydreaming. I rolled my eyes at myself and adjusted my basket in my hands. I’d barely taken another step when suddenly, the doors swung open with a bang and a crowd of people spilled out.
My eyes went wide as people stumbled toward me, all shouting something…something that sounded an awful lot like fright? Or fight? The realization dawned on me instantly. Fight! There was a bar fight! I tried like mad to find my way out of the surge of people, pushing and shoving in any direction until I did finally stagger out into an open space. And with a tumbling stomach, I realized I was on the wrong side of the circle. Instead of safely outside the crowd, I was on the inside.
In the middle of the fight.
And no one seemed to notice. Why was I not surprised? Why did no one ever seem to see me?
Two huge lumbering men swayed on their feet, one of them missing half his thick, auburn mustache. The other had blood dripping from his lip and onto the torn, stained collar of his shirt. Clearly itching to continue whatever they’d started inside. The one with the mustache let out a growl and charged...completely masking the squeak of terror that escaped me as I covered my head and tried to duck out of the way. I was only half aware of my basket dropping from my hands and the contents spilling over the street.
I gritted my teeth, bracing for the impact of the hard ground. Or maybe to get sandwiched in-between the clash of two enormous drunks, or to become the target of a stray punch. Instead, I suddenly felt a strong arm secure itself around my waist. I was effortlessly lifted off my feet and whirled out of the way of the brawl. When my feet touched solid ground again, I was tucked against someone’s warm, solid chest. My heart was beating a frantic rhythm inside my own chest, but slowed a little when I realized I wouldn’t be having my first bar fight today.
My thoughts had been flitting around in my head erratically, like a hummingbird’s wings, but I pulled one front and center. Just who was I clutching right now? Who’s arm was this around me? Not that I was going to complain. They’d clearly seen me when no one else hadn’t. And they smelled nice too. Like gunpowder and pine trees.
Focus, I reminded myself. But before I could get any more of my thoughts in order, they were scattered again by a loud, booming voice.
“You idiots!” The voice roared, rumbling through the chest I was currently pressed against. My pulse jumped when I realized, with a mix of a little awe and a whole lot of surprise, that I recognized that voice. “Go home before I knock you both out and drag you there myself!”
I struggled in his tight hold, and his embrace relaxed enough for me to crane my head back and get a good look at my hero, just to make sure it was who I thought it was. My mouth fell open slightly before I closed it fast. Before he had a chance to see. A man like Gaston didn’t need anything else to gloat about.
“Gaston,” a different voice said, this one a little higher pitched and speaking fast. LeFou, I knew without asking. Gaston never seemed to go anywhere without him. “You told them to take it outside and that’s what they did—“
“I know what I said, LeFou. However, I did not factor in the possibility of a damsel in distress situation.” Gaston’s voice came out like a low growl. “Show’s over, everyone! Go back to your drinks!”
Damsel in distress? It took me another half a moment to realize he meant me.
Finally, the arm around my waist dropped and I took an automatic step back. My eyes were wide as I followed his broad chest, stalling for half a second on the dark hair that curled out of the top most unbuttoned part of his shirt,  all the way up the column of his throat to his face.
Gaston looked back down at me, dark hair swept back away from his forehead and brown eyes watching me curiously. Were they brown? Or a murky green? Or maybe a little gray too? The anger that had been in his voice was no longer reflected on his face, if it’d ever been there at all.
“Are you alright, mademoiselle? Are you hurt?” he asked in that smooth way of his. His large hands moved to rest on either side of my shoulders before sliding gently down my arms as he took my hands in his much larger ones. They were warm, dwarfing my own, and I could feel the rough callouses on his skin. One side of his lips was curled upwards into a confident smile. All around us people were scurrying back into the bar, casting us curious looks. I hardly noticed, though.
The man had a presence. Of course I’d known that already. Hadn’t I just been thinking about how he turned heads wherever he went? But this was the first time he’d ever acknowledge me, and this was also the first time that I’d spared him more than just a fleeting, admiring glance. After all, I wasn’t one of those girls. I wasn’t going to trip over myself for the affection of a man who clearly loved himself first and foremost.
So why was I still standing so close to him? Why was his scent too intoxicating to move away from?
As if spurred on by that thought, my stubborn feet finally took a second step back. I sucked in a breath, expelling the smell of his cologne.
I shook my head in answer to his question, finding it a little difficult to form words. For the love of god, what was wrong with me? I was becoming one of those girls, wasn’t I? The ones that followed him around with heart eyes, swooning and fainting every time the tall, handsome man came near. Was this all it took? His attention?
I tried to tug my hands out of his grip. “I’m fine, thank you. I should've been more careful.” I finally managed to say. “I’ll just be on my way.”
Instead of letting my hands slip from his grasp, he held on tighter, tugging me a step closer and undoing my work from a moment ago. “Not so fast, ma chere.” He murmured softly, an irritatingly handsome smirk appearing on his face. “Must you run so quickly from the man who just saved your life?”
I averted my eyes to the cobble stone, looking at his shiny boots. “Well, I don’t know if was truly a life or death situation but—“
“Nonsense, of course it was.” He argued lightly, shaking his head as if it were ridiculous to think otherwise. “No need to be embarrassed.” His voice was like whiskey with honey, strong but sweet, and commanding my attention without so much having to ask for it. Right away, my gaze snapped back to his face.
Goodness, he was even dreamier up close. Strong, defined jaw and sculpted cheekbones. A prominent brow and expressive eyes. The slope of his nose was even perfect. Every angle and line of his face seemed to have been crafted with the utmost precision and care. I realized a second to late my stare had lingered a bit too long. This only made his smirk grow. Lord, that was irritating. Not only was he handsome, but he knew it. Everyone knew he knew it. I’d watched him parade through town before, basking in the attention. I swore once I’d even seen him catch his reflection in a particularly reflective window and stop to stare. And I’d rolled my eyes, laugh, but now that I was this close to him…it was hard not to react.
“Well, thank you. For saving my life. Since you insist that’s what it was.” I said, trying and failing to blow a stray strand of hair out of my face. It must’ve escaped my braid during the scuffle.
“Now hold on a moment. How come I don’t know your name?” he asked carefully, eyes squinting a little as he studied me. He let go of one of my hands to reach up and brush the hair aside and for a moment, I lost my breath. “I know every beautiful girl in this town, but you…how have I not seen you before? Did you just arrive?”
This made me laugh out loud and he lifted an eyebrow, watching in amusement. “Well I certainly know you. I’ve lived here half my life.”
“Not possible.” He murmured. “You are much to beautiful for me to have missed.”
My cheeks flushed and I was thankful it was dark aside from the flickering light of the street lamps. “Perhaps it’s just a trick of the light, or perhaps you’ve had too much to drink, monsieur Gaston.”
His lips curled into a devilish smile. “No, not likely. I have to know the name of the beautiful girl standing in front of me. What is it?” He lifted the hand that was still clutched in his to his mouth and carefully brushed his lips across my knuckles. A soft, embarrassing gasp escaped me. He never once broke eye contact, his eyes lingering and watching me with a gaze that was equal parts curious and amused. “It only seems fair, since you know mine.” He continued, lowering my hand.
The moment his lips had touched my skin, my heart had begun to hammer a new, unrecognizable rhythm behind my ribcage. One no man had ever made me experience before. Not with a gesture so simple. Yet there was nothing innocent about the almost predatory way he watched me. It made me shiver a little, but not unpleasantly. Gaston was arrogant. Harmless, but arrogant. I knew this, yet I still had yet to walk away from him. I pulled my hand from his grasp and stepped away, taking in a deep breath once there was a suitable space between us.
My name was poised on the tip of my tongue, but I thought better of it and shut my mouth. If I gave him my name, he would most definitely repeat it. And I didn’t need to sound of my own name rolling off his lips right now. He was a man used to getting what he wanted, to having all the power. Not this time.
I smoothed my skirts. “No, I don’t think I’ll tell you.” I said, shaking my head. I felt a tiny bit pleased when his eyebrows shot up in surprise.
“You won’t tell me?” He repeated, watching me as I began picking up the contents of my spilled basket. “What’s to stop me from asking another one these villagers?”
It was easier to speak to him when I wasn’t looking directly at him. “You won’t.” I said, feeling confident with this answer. “Because that would give you no satisfaction.”
“You’re incredibly stubborn, aren’t you?” He said, sounding absolutely fascinated. I raised my head at this, and we locked eyes. He had crossed his arms over his chest and was watching me closely, as if still puzzling out how we’d never crossed paths before.
I realized I’d just given him a challenge. Of course, I’d given a challenge to the most competitive man in town. Now he’d never leave me be. And I was still confused on whether this was a good or bad thing.
We both held one another’s gazes for a moment longer, that devilish smile still on his lips. His eyes were alight with the fire of my challenge…finding out my name. There was something else though too. A spark. A curious energy that seemed to pass between us. I bit my lower lip, unable to stop myself from assessing him from head to foot once again. He was so tall and solid. And I wasn’t immune. I inwardly cursed at myself for being so ridiculously attracted to him.
Of course, he didn’t mind my lingering stare. He was probably basking in it. He licked his lips carefully before speaking again. “You know, I find stubbornness to be an insanely attractive trait.”
I cleared my throat and went back to my task. “Do you?” I made to grab for the handle of my basket but he got there first. He straightened up, holding it out to me with a smug grin. I made to grab it from him but he didn’t let go right away.
“I think you may find my stubbornness a bit frustrating after some time, so if I were you, I’d give up now. Like you said, there are plenty of other pretty girls in this village.” I said, as calmly as I could, trying again to grab my basket but he held on.
His gaze was unwavering, holding mine. “Perhaps, but I suspect you’re nothing like them.”
I ignored this. “Goodnight, Gaston.” I pulled the basket and this time he let go. I sidestepped around his large, hulking frame and began walking in the direction of home. I felt his eyes on my back still and I bit back a smile, realizing I was enjoying this game even though I shouldn’t have been.
Not a full moment passed before I heard his footsteps coming after me and he fell into step next to me.
“At least allow me to walk you home. It’s late after all.” He explained nonchalantly.
“If you think your chivalry will get you my name, I’m afraid you’re mistaken.”
I shot him a glance and a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. “We’ll see. I may have a way or two of convincing you to tell me.” His voice grew low and suggestive, making my stomach flutter. I was given no time to recover before he suddenly snatched my sketchbook out of my basket.
“Hey! That’s mine!”
“I know,” He said in an obvious tone. I tried to grab it from his hand but he held it out of my reach. “Tell me your name and I’ll give it right back. I swear.”
“You lie!”
“Why not tell me and see?” He flashed me a grin that would’ve turned me to putty if I’d been any weaker. I pressed my lips tightly together and he shook his head. “That stubbornness only spurs me on, love.”
When I didn’t respond, his eyes lit up victoriously. I tried not to act like I cared as he began flipping through the pages of my sketchbook. His gait slowed as he did so. It would’ve been easy for me to snatch the book out of his hands and run, but instead I found myself slowing down as well to match his pace. My eyes snuck to his face, trying to find a reaction. Any reaction at all to what he was seeing. I wasn’t sure why I cared what he thought. Gaston clearly was not an artist type. He was all muscle and action. But no one had ever shown any interest in my artwork. Other than Rosalie, of course.
His dark eyebrows were furrowed together, and he tilted the book before flipping the page and turning it sideways. “You did these?” he asked and I smiled. He was impressed.
I nodded. “All of them.”
“An artist.” He added under his breath, and was distracted another moment as he flipped another page. It was the sunset I had been working on earlier.
The word made me smile and straighten my spine. “If you insist.”
At that he chuckled. “You are full of surprises. I can tell.”
“Already? We’ve only just met?” I reminded him as we began walking again, side by side. His arm brushed against mine, sending a tingle of electricity rushing through me.
He frowned. “Which I don’t understand. You are stunning after all.” The sketchbook was placed back into my basket, and I ducked my head hoping he wouldn’t notice my blushing cheeks. “And your drawings are so…colorful. Pretty even…but of course, I still prefer looking at you.”
“You are too much.” I laughed, face still warm. He clasped his hands behind his back as we walked and I was aware of his full attention still on me. I focused my gaze toward the cobblestone lane. “I’m assure you, I’m nothing special.”
“Please,” he argued, and I felt his eyes combing me slowly. Starting at my boots and stopping when he’d reached my face. “You are…exquisite. You truly must go through painstaking means to go so unnoticed.”
I shrugged at this, glancing at him and feeling almost shy for a moment. “Not really. But I do prefer it. I mind my own business. Unless I’m at work of course.”
“Work?” He repeated the word curiously.
“Well, I work in the flower shop.”
A hum of interest escaped him. “I’ve never been there. Never had a reason to. Until now.” And he shot me a broad grin, making my stomach dip.
I was spared from coming up with a response to this as we reached my gate, a waist-high wooden fence that surrounded a small, faded yellow house.“Well, this is me. Thank you for walking me home.”
“It’s the least I could do as a gentleman.” He shrugged, looking past me and toward the house.
I rocked back on my heels for a moment before turning and passing through the gate, but apparently the night was not over for Gaston. He followed me through the yard and up the stone steps until we stood outside my red painted front door.
“You know very well what a proper thanks would be, ma chere.” Gaston murmured, smirking at me. He stood on the step below me and was still almost an entire head taller.
My lips lifted into a smile despite myself. “I’m still not telling.”
And as we continued to stand there, in the shadows of the street lights, I felt that same tug of attraction again. It would be difficult to forget the way it felt to be pressed against his chest. 
Oh lord, I was a goner.
“Lucky for you I’m not the type that gives up easily.” He said, his voice low and husky as he stepped onto the final step, towering over me. I pressed my back against the closed door, heart hammering loudly as I looked up at him. He pressed one hand against the door near my head, his other hand cupping my face. His thumb brushed my cheek, one side of his mouth lifting. “Are you often covered in paint?”
“Usually.” My voice was embarrassingly breathless. “That must be from this morning.”
“It looks good on you.” He said, shaking his head. A small, frustrated sigh escaped him. “There’s something about you.” I tried to fight a smile but lost. I dipped my head toward the ground but his thumb and pointer finger moved quickly to cup my chin, lifting my face back to his. “I mean it.”
“I’m sure you say that to all the girls.” I said softly. I meant it to be teasing, but there was a questioning tone there.
I knew he heard it from the confident smile that swiftly appeared on his face. “Only to the stubborn ones.” His eyes traveled down to my paint spotted apron and back to my face. “Perhaps you might invite me inside, show me some of your other…paintings.”
I could feel the heat from his body radiating between us and it took every resolve of strength in me not to pull him closer. His closeness was intoxicating. The attraction was undeniable, on both ends. But more than that, there was a chemistry. A fire between us I hadn’t felt before in my life.
“If you won’t give me your name, I’ll settle for a kiss.” His voice grew teasing.
I rolled my eyes for good measure, though internally I liked the idea of his lips brushing softly against mine. His hands on my hips as he pressed me into the doorway. “I don’t kiss random men I only just met.”
“But I’m not random. You said it yourself, you know who I am.” His voice grew soft as he leaned in. His free hand rested gently on my waist, tugging me toward him. I closed my fingers into fists, willing my hands to stay at my side and not find their way into his hair. My breath hitched in my throat as he move closer, leaving mere inches between us. I noticed the freckles scattered across his nose. “Or perhaps that will be my reward, when I do finally get you to tell me your name.”
There was more confidence in his words than I’d ever heard from any single person in my life. I realized my body had involuntarily reacted to him, leaning forward I straightened up and brushed the front of his white button down shirt, fingers running across the golden buttons of his jacket.
“I’m looking forward to watching you try. But I wouldn’t get my hopes up, monsieur Gaston.” I said.
“And I’m looking forward to that kiss.” He countered, giving me a wink.
I felt my face flush, and before giving him the satisfaction of seeing so, I turned on my heel to slip inside the house, shutting the door in his handsome face. As soon as it clicked shut, I rested my back against it, biting my lower lip. My heart was hammering and butterflies were swarming inside my stomach.
I tentatively turned toward the window then and snuck a glance out toward the front step. He still stood there, looking momentarily dazed. A smirk began to slowly lift his lips and his eyes seemed to light up with excitement. He smoothed back his hair and turned swiftly, taking the steps two at a time before walking down the pathway and out gate with the pace of a man on a mission.
My name was that mission, I reminded myself. Which meant I hadn’t seen the last of Gaston. I ran my hands over my chalk and paint covered apron, trying to maintain some semblance of calm. Of dignity.
Nothing to get excited about, or to get anything at all about. Honestly. I chided myself. Hadn’t I just been thinking about the other girls in town? The way their eyes followed him, the way he smiled in their direction, the way he flirted. My conscious was struggling to take control. Perhaps he only saw me as a conquest. I had yet to give in, so perhaps the moment I did, it would all be over.
“Oh, for crying out loud!” I sighed, dropping my basket on the wooden kitchen table. “You hardly know the man!”
But there was something about him, beneath that smarmy arrogance. And if it was his mission to discover my name, then it was mine to discover what that was. Gaston was arrogant, narcissistic, and at times temperamental. But I felt drawn toward the unknown parts of him. To the side of him I saw as he flipped through the pages of my sketchbook. Just as maybe he was drawn to the unknown parts of me.
And even if the discovery led to nothing but disappointment, I would let it play out. After all, people had ways of surprising you.
I knew because my mother had once spoke of a man who was loud, boisterous, and arrogant. Who was wrong for her in every way. Who went out of his way to find her in a crowded square and tease her, follow her home and bid her goodnight from the front door. Who made her angry. Who annoyed her to no end. Until she found herself falling in love with the parts of him that weren’t as clear as what was on the surface.
People were full of surprises.
I had a feeling Gaston was too.
