#i'm sure she'd get it after a while but the initial reaction... yeah

[wereh0gz]

Thinking abt ways Sonic's friends would reconnect with him after his amnesia and imagined Amy inviting him over to bake some sweets and stuff and then I thought

How would they break the news to Cream. How would she handle that. Knowing one of her heroes doesn't remember her or Cheese or Vanilla or Chocola. Sonic's friends are all heartbroken but most of them are older and would have an easier time understanding

Cream is six years old. Yeah she's smart for her age but she's still six

What would go through her mind when she sees Sonic again, but he's not talking like he used to (if he talks at all). When she goes in for a hug and he flinches instead of embracing her with an arm over her shoulder like he used to. When he doesn't look her in the eye like he used to. When he treats her like a stranger

Even if she was given a fair warning before they meet again, it would still hurt wouldn't it

Sonic doesn't mean to hurt her but she's a stranger to him. What is he supposed to do?

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ @bad-the-an-enjoyer request: AAAAAAAA OKAY IM NOT SURE IF YOU'VE ALREADY DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUT: can i request shiraishi an, kohane, and honami x reader with reader like.. constantly requesting hugs and stuff? thanks :)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ OMG AN and girlies!! REQUEST LET'S GOO!!! Also, this made me realize NONE OF THEM have hugs headcanons sooo I kinda included that too for my own satisfaction ^^ So I really hope you'll like it! Because I clearly did hehe Also is it just me or am I finally getting the hang of Honami-?! I feel like it so yayy!

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ fluff

✧ Honami is really caring and welcoming, did you really even considerate she could refuse your hug?

✧ she may only do that if she dislikes you or if you don't have pleasent past... but when you're her lover? She's never gonna decline that!

✧ sometimes you need a hug after hard day, week, big challange or generally a hug to know someone's here for you! And she'd be more than happy to do just that~

✧ she's almost never gonna let go first, unless she get's phone call, someone calls for her or there's an emergency... otherwise than that, she's gonna make herself comfortable, make sure you're comfortable, and she can stay cuddled for hours

✧ her hugs are actually so comforting too! She's cannonically strong so if you decide to be little spoon, prepare for that nice feelings of safety in her arms~

✧ and if you prefer being a big spoon? That's also fine! You'll just get more of a comforting feeling as she caresses your hair or fingers

✧ she doesn't even mind if you request a hug in public or private! Hug request is hug request, and if you need it, she'll be there to provide it!

"Oh? Why of course! Did you have a hard day? Or do you just feel affectionate? Either way, I'm ready to listen whatever's on your mind. Now let's get comfortable, shall we?"

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

@bleachtheidiot @bad-the-an-enjoyer @miya-akane - come get your apple pie lover~

✧ Kohane is a sweetheart, she may have problem initiating a hug, but how can she possibly decline when you're the one asking for a hug? She just can't!

✧ if it's first time or if you request it in public, prepare for smaller or bigger blush here and there! Don't worry tho, her reaction will be easier with time... she just needs to get used to it

✧ in public, it might be a bit stressing for her, but in private her hugs are way calmer

✧ she's honestly a bit nervous to let go sometimes, but usually she simply is too comfortable to do so

✧ she definitely would prefer to be the little spoon to hide her face when needed, but if you ask for her to be the bigger spoon, she'll still accept it!

✧ and when she's the one spooning you, she'll play with your hair, maybe do a little braid or curls if you and your hair allows her for that

✧ she may get a bit overwhelmed by how often you ask for hugs, but it only takes her few weeks or months to get used to this sweet trait of yours, and you won't even know before she starts initiating hugs naturally!

"As in... rigth now? Y-Yeah... yeah, it's alright. Shall we find more secluded are- Oh! Alright! Let's just do a quick hug here I guess!"

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

@bleachtheidiot @akitosheart @bad-the-an-enjoyer - come get your hamster girl!

✧ An is literally just as affectionate if not more! You think you can be the only one requesting hug? Oh, she accepts the challange!!

✧ you're always clinging to yourselves, it's almost impossible to find a moment when you're not hugging

✧ public? private? what's the difference?! All that matters is that she can hug with you and both of you can relax after long day!

✧ she's definitely more natural in being big spoon and enjoys having her arms resting on your shoulders or back

✧ but being small spoon sounds good too! When she's there, she might as well use you as a pillow and there's small chance she'll fall asleep while in this position~

✧ I just feel like you'd have this sweet competition when you count who asks for more hugs this day... Also, you say the same thing at the same tim! You want hugs, she wants hugs, it's like you're sharing one mind!

✧ thanks to that, she NEVER declines! She doesn't even care to get into comfortable position before cuddling, she can always walk while huggin you which is... a bit funny, but she just can't let go if you're not ready for that yet

"Hey! I want to ask you something! You too? Okey on 3! 1...2...3! Can we hug? Haha! Same thought again! Come here already! I got us blanket and comfy pillows for a reason, you know?"

So about that scene in WN where Beatrice is reading that journal entry to Ava...

I’ve only watched Warrior nun once this weekend, but I went back to rewatch this scene in particular and, there is just SO SO much to unpack from the suitcase this scene dropped on my lap 

1. Ava being like daamn she's translating straight from french that's hot (ava is someone who has effectively so far, missed on her entire life, missed on the most basic stuff walking, sensory tactile daily input, socialization outside of abuse. So she's truly getting to know and see and experience everything for the first time, she is hungry for living and knowing and finding out. So in this sense ofc it makes absolute sense that she'd be attracted to Beatrice who is pretty much a walking library, she's attracted to her on an instinctual level from moment one, she's just not rationalized yet that she is, but the magnetism is there) 

2. Ava repeating the word lesbich, because ofc her golden retriever brain would be like hey I know a whole new word and in a foreign language how cool is that?!! While also being painfully unaware that that word carries so much weight and pain for Beatrice and must be likely cringing internally to have the object of her affection just throwing the word around like it's nothing 

3. Ava's 'yeah she did!'. Once again reaching only an initial level of analysis and being excited because the nun in the story is a bada$s who just won't put up with abuse, cause in her eyes that must be literally so cool therefore violence and retribution is righteous. 

4. And then being crestfallen when she's notices Beatrice strong reaction to the whole story, then she's capable of grasping a deeper level of understanding of everything that's behind. It's not just retribution, it's hatred and fear and abject pain. She gets a glimpse of the other side of the coin, what the nun in the story/Beatrice deals with. A blinding rage, and overwhelming pain. It's not justice driving the sword, it's trauma. Her facial expression switched in seconds as does her approach to the rest of the story. 

5. Now she's able to see a connection between the warrior nun in this journal and Bea, she knows it is something primal but still can't put her finger exactly on what, yet she can feel that an immense pain is the thread that weaves both the story and Bea's visceral response to it.

6. Bea's realization that she's isn't the only one, she's not the only gay warrior sister. Up to this point I'm sure she must have felt isolated even inside her religious community, which became her family. They know who she is, but they don't know her completely. But there was someone just like her, through time, even at the distance she's not alone,  and she can also reach that feeling of being fully herself and at peace (I’ll forever wonder how Bea related to Shanon and Mary about this specific point). 

7. Bea being pissed at Ava's obliviousness. Ava being so close to the central theme of the story but still failing to connect they last final dots, which would save Bea an enormous amount of time working to an admission or confession of her love (which we actually didn't get, only after Ava was gone. Not even when Ava kissed her, not even when Ava took the leap and actually said I love you. Bea just wasn't going to be able to take those steps on time), if Ava could just realize by herself what Bea is feeling for her... But she doesn't and then Bea snaps because rly ava?! C'mon work with us here. 

8. Bea's gut wrenching admission that she became an academic overachiever to compensate for being gay. Now this is actually personal to me and I'm sure to most of the queer community, we've been there. Bea at some point literally felt she had no value as a person, only through discipline and excellence in everything she does :��(  she probably still feels that way, up until meeting Ava.

9. Bea dead a$s saying: 'What (who) you love, what (who) should make you happy only brings you pain'... while looking directly at ava.... Ava, sweaty, darling, honey baby, adoptive child of literal divine light, god’s chosen champion... my sister in Christ. Bea is pouring out her bleeding heart, looking straight into your eyes, admitting that even tho she loves you and you make her happy, you bring her pain. And in so many ways, as a christian believer/nun who's been told her whole life that being gay means your are doomed and automatically going to super hell, as a young queer woman who has gone to the almost ultimate stage of self denial of herself and her sexuality by becoming a nun, as a sister warrior entrusted with the safety of the halo bearer, as Ava’s very first and actual close friend, as a gay mess who’s trying so hard to keep her feelings on check because her relationship to Ava involves literally the world’s salvation and she has no idea if Ava is exclusively straight/or remotely queer. I cannot even with this specific exchange pls. This pained me on a molecular level because I was transported to my crush on a girl I met at bible camp when I was a prepubescent. (Yes I was at one point and against my will, an uncool christian nerd I’m no stranger to christianity and its multicomplex traumatic interseccion with queerness). And I still to this day wonder what became of Irene my Bible camp crush

10. Ava (despite not reaching the full understanding of the situation that Bea would like her to have) is emotionally smart, so whatever it is that's bothering Bea so much, she'll offer to listen to her, and if she isn't ready to do so, she can wait; but in the meantime she'll make damn sure to let Bea know that Beatrice isn't just 'barely acceptable', nor 'simply enough'. She is seen, she is full, whole and beautiful.

I did NOT need to have Beatrice thrusted upon me, introduced only to be taken away like this. I was living just fine without this knowledge, but yet here we are 

[imaginespazzi]

Hi bestie 🥰

Sorry it took me a lil while to check in but I wanted to make sure I formed some sensical thoughts after reading part 1! Although, this might actually all be non-sensical because I’m still reeling from it all and I’m nowhere near as articulate but anyway, here goes (side note: am I listening to if the world was ending while writing this? you bet I am):

WOW WOW WOW, the beginning? My heart broke immediately and as the biggest angst fiend, I was like oh- this- this is gonna be immaculate I already know.

And of course it was. OF COURSE IT WAS.

The photos of them on the wall?? And Paige’s realisation of how much she fucked up cos Azzi never once let go even though Paige ignored her for a WHOLE FUCKING YEAR!!!

The flashback to when Azzi broke the UCLA news to Paige; yeah you ATE that. I know you said you might take inspiration from my suggestion and that’s pretty much how it played out in my mind, only your version was a hundred thousand times better- like the talent is just unmatched.

Paige’s first reaction being “BUT YOU NAMED YOUR DOG STEWIE!!!!” Is so fucking real lmao, I laughed and cried.

Nika standing ten toes down for her twin always, I respect it.

And Jealous Paige? Yeah my favourite trope fr ✊ (also the fact that she already got jealous of carol of all ppl?? lmao, i can't even imagine how she'd react to seeing Azzi with someone that's actually into her 😭)

And then the ending?? You’re sick for that cos see now that’s all I’ll be thinking about until we get the next part (making your fics my roman empire? it’s only fair)

Thoughts on what might come next (which you should totally ignore if it's not what you have in mind bcos again, your brain >>> my pea-sized brain):

Imma need Paige to suffer a lot bit LMAO, like sorry to her but girlie deserves to pay for freezing out princess FOR A YEAR.

Like I know that’s the love of your life Azzi babygirl, but you better make blondie work. beg. grovel.

I also feel like Azzi’s teammates wouldn’t be so accepting of Paige straight away? They’d be super protective of Azzi cos like that’s pookie, who wouldn’t be?? And they were the ones who witnessed just how much she was hurting during her freshman year and how often she waited for a call that never came, so yeah Paige really gonna have to prove herself 😌

Anyhooo, to sum it up, you outdid yourself and then some bestie. Your stories genuinely give me the best escape from reality and I cannot express how thankful I am for you taking the time and effort to write masterpieces like that for us.

Oh finally, the tagline for the story being "everything changes, except the ending" - pure genius, in my humble opinion.

Until next time 💗

-🙋‍♀️ (I’ve decided to fully stick to this as my signature)

Hi bestieeee, I'm so, so, so, glad you liked it. Like I wanted everyone to like it of course, but you especially, it's very important to me that you like it.

Bestie, you helped so much with how Azzi would reveal it/Paige's reaction, like so much of that is your brain work, I just put it into words and I'm glad it turned out how you imagined it.

Lmao I wanted Paige's initial reaction to be so random and I was like WAIT, how is she going to bring a dog named Stewie to UCLA (again more proof that it was always gonna be UConn for her).

Jealous Paige is my favorite version of Paige because it's a) really fun to write and b) really hot to imagine. And it's only going to get worse for her.

Nika needs to be team Paige because I fear Azzi's teammates are about to be menaces to her and not in a good way.

I was actually gonna end it with Azzi running out and then have none of the stuff outside but I think it was important for them to have that conversation and I wanted them to kiss teehee

My current (loose) summary for the next part in terms of plot is "Azzi goes on a date and Paige goes insane" so trust bestie, blondie will in fact suffer. 😈

Always so happy to see you babe, come back with more suggestions or just to ki-ki whenever. ��💗💗

[mugzymiik]

Hello I just wanted to pop in and ask about your oc Bug :3

Specifically her backstory, I’ve seen snippets of her lore throughout your account but I’ve yet to find her whole backstory explained in one post (wouldn’t be surprised if you made a post like that but I haven’t found it) so yeah I just wanted to ask what her backstory is. Her lore seems super interesting :D

oh good. you'll regret this /j

buckle up :3

‼️CW: ABUSE, NEVER DIRECTLY DESCRIBED. I HANDLE THIS WITH CARE.

She was meant to be the Yellow Hero, but she ended up coming out gray and powerless- the most they could do was levitate anything lighter than a ballpoint pen in weight. So, you can probably tell how that went. Ae was thrown to the side for another, stronger Hero to be created: Gold.

Her initial assigned caretaker, Redd, did. Not Take It Well, to say the very least. He was a nobody his whole life, he saw having a Hero as a way to make a name for himself, and was very pissed when he found out that Bug was defective.

Bug was okay with her 'needing to be replaced' at first- after all, Paradise did need a proper Hero. But, when Redd began expressing distaste towards aer mere existence, ae grew bitter. The Trees put them in this position. They'd set her up for failure!

And so, her story started off horribly.

3 years into Redd's abuse, the Pink Corruption started up again. Bug had heard that Heroes could shatter if the Corruption damaged them enough... And also, let's just say that she'd been hoping for a certain yellow triangle's downfall. Totally nothing to do with the 'shattering' thing . . . Totally.

Eventually she ended up joining the Main Gang™ (all of the Heroes are matured at this point, I should mention :>) after she saw them passing through town- and they followed them, and by the time ae was spotted the group was too far to return aer, so they just took her along with them. (Also, the others had mixed reactions upon finding out that Pyrare knew of her existence because he was told upon receiving Gold. Gold was especially pissed.)

Anywho, back to Bug she was... Not fun to have around initially, not at all. Picking fights with the other Heroes (or, trying to), challenging anyone that said anything, etc... But, they eventually calmed the fuck down after some of the group (mostly Tsavorite, I'll mention) was actually nice to them.

...Ae liked that.

At the end of the Corruption, she does TIO alongside the other Heroes (and Cyanide) I'll mention, I'm not sure how exactly just yet (still figuring it out) but she does end up doing so. Fun fact: as they were fighting, they smacked Gold and went "oops." Afterwards, ae was exhausted due to the sudden surge of power because 1. her connection to the Trees of Life had just been restored, and 2. she was unmatured and not prepared at all for that exact same surge of power. Ae didn't care though. She started bawling her eyes out from happiness that day.

Once all of that was over, she was assigned a new caretaker, a hexagon monster named Hexalace. The status of 'caretaker' was now fully stripped away from Redd (about damn time), and Bug could begin her new life, with lots of healing ahead of her. But- she'd be okay.

She had to be.

I don't have very many specifics set down after this point yet, but she did get matured eventually by the groups Zef, FantomenK and Kubbi.

Anyways yeah they fistfought Gold a lot and often got into trouble because of it. But after a long while Hexalace finally convinced aer that hey, no matter how much you don't like him, this isn't right.

So Bug debated on it for a while and apologized to Gold. They hugged by the way.

-

and uhhh. that's all the important bits :D heres some trivia (that you didn't ask for but Bug /silly)

most of these are copied and pasted from some part of another post but its fine 👍

she often has anger outbursts bc like. Redd (i want him dead /neg) didnt teach her anything at all in her entire life. and so she was never taught how to healthily manage her anger

most, if not all, of their nicknames consist of just. bugs. Moth. Firefly. Bee. Wasp and Hornet are used a lot by the other Heroes (in an endearing way ofc). Beetle is by far everyones (esp including Bug's) #1 fav tho (she secretly named her journal "Beetle" but she wont ever admit it)

Bug got nervous at just the idea of maturing and they straight-up screamed when they got the first piece for them

before she was finally given her abilities and was able to float (so before the corruption ended) she struggled to climb onto tall stuff like chairs n things like that. and one time one of the other Heroes or caretakers noticed her struggling to do smth like that and just picked them up and set them down on it and she almosr cried

ae abso-fucking-lutely can buzz

ae's an avid birdwatcher. ae will talk to HOURS about it to Hexalace (Hexalace is TERRIFIED of birds BUT she tries her best to listen anyway

before she ended up apologizing to Gold for being a bitch she started going out of her way to do little things for him- very simple things like finding something he was looking for and leaving it in his windowsill during the night. (said example scared the shit out of Gold)

she listens to the other Heroes' rambles about their interests a lot and thats how she got into most of her own (she tinkers with a bit of technology thanks to Gold, in fact. shut up im inserting my headcanons here /silly/lh)

ae eats uncooked spaghetti noodles bc so do i

anyways Bug

[lingeringscars]

⭐ as is tradition

Akilah- gigi because I think I could put her in yj if I think about it and there is something about her quickly viewing violence as a means to an end vs akilah not even picking up a weapon, ryan. i still don't know how we'll do that without creating a whole sep verse just for them or akilah lives au but yeah <3, leoni. oh you know nothing about this but YEAH THEM. she's actually described as walking sunshine but also has contributed to destruction. she's devoted her life to helping other people because she was saved from death + as a result someone died to help her. as for yj chars, I feel like we don't talk about shauna as much. and then gen.

Travis- if i don't say shauna here who even am i? can't explain this one as well but my gut does say percy too. or maybe i just miss him. I do think harper and travis would be really interesting because she has that directness and kindness where she'd be like dude wtf at his outbursts while also extending empathy to him bc she's been there re taking shit out on other people esp after dads dying. she would also initially want to help look for javi but would taper off as more time went by and it became unlikely he was still alive rip. tyler. that same teenage boy anger at the world, shitty fathers, not able to regulate emotions well and reactionary because of that. ryan. feeling responsible for siblings deaths. he's really good at just adapting to whatever needs you have so if you wanna talk or sit and drink or explode he got u travis. miller. being part of the in group to survive.

Melissa- shauna and van because there is so little and we can go wild thinking about it. her and spencer would have played a sport together or like if we stick with rival team, would have met against each other across multiple sports growing up. melissa would you have tried field hockey at some point. also harper. they can be snarky together. then ofc mari and gen. akilah vc: duh.

Allie- layla is my gut reaction because of how they were supposed to be somewhere that turned disastrous (the plane crash, her mom's car crash). i think allie would get completely on her nerves though and would Try to be understanding because it is a vicarious trauma while also like oh my god i can't stand you. christian would be like oh my god you weren't on the fucking plane. sorry allie. lydia. i'm not really sure with this one i was just thinking about them being tertiary to some stuff but still affected by it.

Van- finch or hope m if just because I am thinking about landon and van being friends. i just think while you were streaming would be such an important place for spencer but also going to the movies and parents that don't notice you weren't home. maddie because needing to be the one that takes on that caretaker role and isn't taken care of when they need it, running, etc. thinking about van & rachel having different arcs almost. them both going through something traumatic that results in a disability but while van becomes harder and deflects with humor, rachel leans more into humor and becomes lighter and freer. gen & shauna. harper + mothers that don't really notice you're gone. she wouldn't understand most of the pop culture references and would ask. like mari. love u van sorry about that. emma duval. reclaiming identities, disdain for modern technology after All That, almost dying 432 times. lucy and van should hook up.

Jessica- christian/adrian/sonya. i can see her having connections to their powerful families, basically. being hired to manage things by christian's extended family, covering up adrian's escapades, sonya's fall. idk! same with tyler. his dad was mayor so. you sent a meme for melinda but yeah her & may. doing what needs to get done, i can see her getting mixed up with shield stuff too. michael bishop because this reeks of nikita. lmao spencer. her loose connection to the team so trying to talk to her like those at the beginning of the pilot but like. she's been through shit of her own because of A so she's not gonna talk about that or the yj team but also that being a whole other thing.

Hayden- kaley. idk they could meet at college or something. striving for independence. christian. moving after traumatic events, family member (sister, aunt) that means everything to you and helped raise you. JAYMEE. they could have worked together but also they just have a lot in common. i have zero thoughts about lydia/hayden in yj but like why not. all <3 gen, shauna, van, nat, mari. jenna. jenna studying psychology and hayden for social work.

Callie- hey cal wanna meet your mom's friends? kaley, ryan. just want her to have friends. also they would listen to her talk if she ever wanted to do that. christian. family secrets are the hardest kind are they not? sally because closeted lesbians who sometimes do the wrong thing because they're just trying to cope with their families. thea because navigating Life. Mariana also understands going through it because of family drama. don't know how to explain it but lydia and callie + the way they interact with their moms. oh also emma duval and the way your mom's life comes for you personally (sorry maggie ily).

@itchose sent ⭐for potential dynamic combinations / always accepting

[joxdrayton]

With her free hand, Josephine rubbed her temples, soothing out the growing headache. For some reason every time her thoughts wandered towards her marriage, the pain slowly build up. Deep down she knew Layla was right; she'd come to the same conclusion after giving herself time to access the whole situation and rewind the night in Vegas as best as she could given her sparse and hazy memories of most that's happened. But her initial reaction to reject anything that might create grounds for her to get hurt later was stronger, it was a defense mechanism she wasn't sure how to let go of. "I'm not ready for it." She sighed in the end, looking back up to her friend. "This whole situation is such a mess. It was fun while it lasted but I wasn't in the right mind to calculate the consequences then and now... This whole marriage thing is just too much. I don't think I have it in me to be a good wife. Hell, I don't even know if I have it in me to be a wife at all." She paused, musing over her next words for a hot moment. "Yeah, maybe there was a connection. But if I have to be honest, I'm a bit surprised he's willing to give it a try. I mean, it sounded like we both came from the same place when it came to relationships and suddenly we're trying to make one work. It's confusing."

She listened to Jo's confession, her heart aching for her friend. The fear and uncertainty in those eyes tugged at her. This wasn't betrayal, though. This was a whirlwind decision with real consequences. Layla squeezed Jo’s hand. "I can't imagine how conflicted you must feel right now." She paused, choosing her words carefully. "You know, sometimes the craziest decisions lead us to unexpected places. Maybe there is something there, something worth exploring.” Her expression turned serious but compassionate. "What I'm trying to say is, sometimes we make choices in the moment that seem right, or fun, or necessary. And then we have to deal with the aftermath. But that doesn't mean those choices were wrong. It just means we have to face them head-on." She offered an encouraging smile. "If you think there might be something real there, maybe it's worth giving it a shot. You don't have to decide right now, but don't let fear of the unknown hold you back either."

[evobedevo]

Everyone turned to face the boy who had said that, surprised to see that he wasn't kidding about the mannequin statement. His entire body hd a distinct plastic shine to it, and his limbs all had very obvious sockets and joints. 

"Nevertheless, I'm ready whenever you are." The boy, Ender had a smile on his face. He'd noticed before hand that Bianca tended to get irrational whenever she was annoyed, and the easiest way to make her angry was to make it seem like you weren't affected by her.

And of course, it worked. Bianca's smile turned into a pout. "Wait, wait, wait...why are you so eager to do this? You do realize what's about to happen, right?"

Ender put his hands behind his head in a lax motion. "Yeah, but I don't mind. In fact, I'm looking forward to it!" 

This was a lie, but Ender kept up the facade. Any moment now, she'd crack and do something dumb, and that would be his chance to get out of there. 

"Wh-what? No,that...that cannot be right. I studied up on all of you before I captured you all, making sure I grabbed people who would have the best reactions to this whole scenario. Ender, I know for a fact that you hate it when you're not in control of your own mind."

Internally, Ender gulped. She was right, but he couldn't let her confirm that. "You mentioned that you've hopped between dimensions before, right? Met alternate versions of all of us? Who's to say you didn't get the information on an alternate version of me instead? Because I know for a fact that what you said ain't true."

Bianca's pout slowly turned even more south as it began to dawn on her. She really didn't have a way to confirm that. She pulled out her notepad, flipping through all that she had written. After a fruitless effort, she slammed the booklet shut, bringing up a transport cube around Ender and pulling him out of the cage. However, instead of bringing him over to the empty chamber, she brung him towards the control panel, in front of her.

"Okay, I know for a fact that you're the correct Ender. But just in case, I'll have to run a few tests on you."

Little did Bianca realize. she'd given Ender a chance to try something he'd been wanting to test out for a while. Out of Bianca's sight, behind the console, Ender bean to fiddle around with his wristwatch until...

BZZZZZZZRRRTT! 

The transport cube glitched out, it's top half disappearing and materializing across the room. Bianca's face grew shocked, as Ender quickly took the opportunity to hop out of the cube and dash towards the door. He tossed a few needles behind him for good measure at the console, but Bianca had gotten over the initial shock and blocked most of them with her glowing gloves. She then raised her hand, summoning a wall of the 4th dimensional material from the floor in front of Ender. His speed was unmatched though, and he swerved right, attempting to find a way around the wall itself. Everyone in the cage was now cheering him on, seeing if he could find a way out of this situation. 

Bianca kept raising wall after wall, blocking off each path Ender would take. Ender reacted accordingly, turning faster and faster, nimbly jumping over any dead ends Bianca would attempt to make. He then got an idea, bounding towards one of the walls that Bianca was raising, and balancing on the top of it. He was now on top of the maze of 4th dimensional walls. `Taking a slight moment to taunt Bianca, he nimbly ran across the thin wall tops. However, in the midst of his confidence, he hadn't realized that Bianca was now tilting the entire maze. Ender didn't take notice until he noticed that it was getting harder to run. At that point, the maze was now 45 degrees perpendicular to the floor. Bianca then made a wave motion with her hand, and the friction of the walls began to decrease. Ender noticed that no matter how fast he was running, he was now struggling to just stay in the same place. At last, the frictionless-ness became too much, and he began to tumble on top of the maze wall towards the empty chamber. As soon as he crashed in, Bianca forcefully shut the door, fuming. 

For a while things were eerily silent. Nobody did anything, Bianca just grit her teeth, breathing heavily. Soon enough, she took a deep breath, and attempted to calm herself down. 

" Okay....you gave me a good run for my money, I'll give you that." With that, she tinted the windows on the empty chamber besides Dusk. 

"As a reward, I'm gonna make this next fusion a surprise." With a push of a button, the tinted window chamber lit up, but it was too dark to see who was inside of it. Without hesitation, Bianca pulled the lever that fused the two subjects together... which is when she realized that the console was beginning to spark. 

"AAAGH! What the-?" 

A few of Enders needles had lodged themselves into the console, shorting out a few of the circuits. The fusion process was still going on, but along with the normal colors of green and blue that usually appeared in the center chamber, there were now a bunch more streaks of white light and sparks. When everything settled, the chamber was still too smokey to see anything... which is when the new fusion stepped out. 

"I feel...soft? That's not right..." They shook their head, not noticing that it was now rather big compared to their body. "I feel...like...huggable, for lack of better term." Turning to look at the mirror, the fusion noticed that even their clothing felt softer than usual. And then they caught a look at themselves.

A combination of Dawn's beret and Ender's cap sat on their head, which was now chibi like in proportion. Huge, anime-like eyes adorned their face, along with a cute turned up nose and freckles. And weirdest of all, they could see the stitching line of cloth alongside their face. Looking down, they noticed that Ender's hoodie took on properties of Dawn's sweater, with it being shoulder less. Their sleeves hid their hands, until they brought them up to look at them...and realized they didn't really have hands. Just adorable stubs, like a doll. Dawn's skirt and Ender's shorts had become something of a mix of the two, splitting off near the knees so that the lower half could become long, striped stockings. 

I took a while for the reality to sit in for Endawn, but as soon as it did...

"AAAAAAAAAAAGGHH!" 

They began to scream in confusion. Bianca stood at the console, with a face that just screamed "What?" 

Everybody in the cage had a similar reaction.

"What is this? W-why can I hear two different people in my head?" And as if a cruel twist of fate, at that moment the two minds synched together. "W-wait...who am I?"

Endawn's expression went from one of fear, to one of confusion. "I feel strange. Like, everything feels too cold..." The fusion wrapped their plush arms around them self, shivering all the while.

Still with a shocked expression on her face, Bianca brought the transport box around Endawn, bringing them back to the cage. Whilst in there, Endawn realized everyone was staring at them. It made them a bit nervous, and so they backed up a little, whimpering slightly as they did. When they backed up into the wall of the cage, they slid down and sat, crossing their arms in front of their legs, balled up. At that point, Dawnanna's emphatic nature brought her over to the plush fusion, and she sat down next to her in an attempt to comfort her. 

"Hey...Ender? I mean...Endawn? Are you okay?"

Bringing her head up from trying to hide in her balled up position, (something that wasn't going to work anyways,) Endawn wiped her tears from her face, making her already endearingly big eyes all the more adorable. She then spread out her arms, as if to ask for a hug. Dawnanna obliged, embracing the plush. She was soft to the touch.

Normally, Bianca would squee at the cute scene in front of her, but she was still in shock.

"Okay...so we're going to have to take a little recess after...whatever it is that just happened." She began to mumble to herself as she pulled out a tool box from beneath the console.

════ ⋆★⋆ ════

When Y/N found out she was pregnant, she couldn't figure out who she was more afraid to tell: her boyfriend, Dean, or his dad, John.

Once she'd gotten past the initial shock and actually told Dean about her pregnancy, his reaction was nothing short of ecstatic.

However, one of the first things Dean said after finding out was, "I can't wait to tell Dad and Sam!"

Sam she wasn't worried about. Y/N knew Sam would be every bit as excited as Dean was. John's reaction however would be a little bit more unpredictable than that.

Sure, Dean was John's favorite child, and he could be happy about becoming a grandfather. On the other hand, John also had the mentality that hunters were not to reproduce because he didn't want Dean to make the same mistakes he (and many other hunters) had made while raising children.

Regardless, Y/N was now thirteen weeks pregnant and ready to tell Dean's father about the baby. They'd planned to meet up at a restaurant for dinner, which Y/N assumed John would think was strange anyway because he always met up with Dean at bars.

"Dean," Y/N said as she walked back into the room after changing her clothes.

"Hmm?" he hummed in response.

"Does anything look different to you?" she asked.

Dean finally looked up from the notebook he was currently writing in. He was met with the sight of Y/N wearing her normal clothes, but she was accompanied by a small baby bump.

"It's so cute," Dean grinned giddily.

"It is not cute! How am I supposed to dress normally and hide a baby bump?" she complained, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Just wearing one of my shirts. It's not like you haven't done it before."

Y/N's face turned to a frown. "Dean, are you still gonna love me even when I'm big and fat?"

"OK, first of all, I will love you no matter what size you are. I love you, not your body. Your body just so happens to be an added bonus. Second of all, it's not fat. Your body is making room for an extra human. If anything, it's extra sexy."

"Since when did you have a breeding kink?"

Dean let out a long, deep laugh at her comment. "I think you would've known about that by now."

Y/N shook her head as she laughed at him. "Come on, we've got places to be."

And so, the two rushed out the door, driving off to the restaurant. Luckily for them, the thirteenth week of Y/N's pregnancy just so happened to fall during the same week as Father's Day, so they knew exactly how they wanted to tell John.

Once they reached the restaurant, Y/N nervously grabbed Dean's hand as they walked to the door.

Dean leaned over, placing a reassuring kiss on Y/N's temple. "It's gonna be OK. Who cares about his opinion anyway?"

"You do."

"Not really," Dean admitted. "I mean, yeah, he's my dad so I kind of have to care, but in the end, his opinion doesn't matter. If he tells us he hates it, then that's on him. Just means he won't get to be in our baby's life."

Y/N smiled, giving Dean a kiss on the cheek. "I love you sometimes, you know that?"

"I love you sometimes too."

The two walked into the restaurant, immediately spotting John who was already sitting at a table and sipping on a beer.

Y/N took in a deep breath as she and Dean walked over to the table, sitting down beside each other on one side of the booth.

"Hey, Dad. It's good to see you," Dean smiled once they had both made it into the booth.

"You too, son," John smiled. "Y/N," he nodded toward her with a small smile, "You look nice."

"Thank you, John," she replied, trying to hide the anxiety she had in her voice.

Dean placed his hand on her knee affectionately, rubbing small, delicate circles into her skin. The feeling of Dean touching her was enough to melt all of her worries away for a moment, just long enough to help her forget why she was nervous.

The three continued on talking for a while, catching up on everything they hadn't been able to talk about in the four months they hadn't seen each other. Dean caught John up to speed on a couple cases he'd worked on, while John caught Dean up to speed on everything going on with all their hunter friends like Bobby and Ellen.

One of Y/N's favorite sights was watching Dean and John interact. Most days (other than the occasional argument they had over Sam), they were best friends, and there was never a dull moment in their conversation. Dean hated to admit it, but he was John's favorite child, and it showed when they got the chance to hang out.

"Well, I definitely enjoyed dinner," John smiled as the three walked out of the restaurant.

"Well, we just wanted to find some way to tell you 'Happy Father's Day,'" Dean replied. "You know, Dad, this time next year, I'll be celebrating Father's Day."

John blinked a few times in confusion. "What?"

Suddenly, Y/N's anxiety from earlier reappeared. She felt like she'd throw up, though she wasn't sure if that was due to her nerves or the ever-growing baby in her belly.

"Yep, this time next year, I'll be celebrating my first Father's Day," Dean restated.

"Are you serious?" John's mouth flew open as he turned to Y/N. "Are you pregnant?"

Y/N slowly nodded, readying herself for a disappointing response from her boyfriend's father.

Instead, she was met with arms being wrapped around her gently. "That's wonderful, Y/N."

"Huh?" Y/N couldn't believe the words she'd just heard. She'd been preparing herself for John to be angry, for him to yell and scream about why getting pregnant as a hunter was a horrible decision. When she was met with the opposite reaction, she didn't know exactly how to respond.

"How far along are you?" he asked as he let go of the hug.

"Thirteen weeks yesterday," she answered. "We wanted to wait and tell everyone after I was out of the first trimester. That way, I'd be in the 'safe zone' as my doctor keeps referring to it as," she explained.

"No, I understand. Mary didn't tell anyone she was pregnant with Dean until she just couldn't hide it anymore," he replied, followed by a small chuckle.

"We'll be able to go for the anatomy scan in a couple weeks," Dean mentioned.

"Well, call it 'Grandfather's Intuition' or whatever, but I already have a feeling it's gonna be a boy."

A small smile tugged at Y/N's lips, knowing John was just saying that because he was secretly rooting for a mini Dean.

After a few more minutes of small talk about Y/N's pregnancy and the baby, the three finally parted ways.

On the way home, Dean said the exact words that Y/N knew he'd say:

"See, what did I tell you?"

[kurogane-redfox]

Gajeel had to give his favorite blonde crap whenever he could. Yeah, they got on one another's nerves but there was more than one reason for that. There were quite a few members in the guild that often commented about the two of them needing to 'fuck and get over it already' but that hadn't and more than likely would NEVER happen. There was something that he seemed to find enjoyment in getting reactions out of the tiny blonde. She was a bit of a psycho but that was fine it wasn't like she was entirely off the rails ALL the time or anything like that. Such as now, for some reason she felt that reading in the guildhalls main room was just fine when no one else did it. He was surprised that Jose let her get away with most of the shit she did. The creep probably had a thing for her. Oh that thought made him grimace.

"Who the fuck is sayin' the call would give me what I want? I'm pretty sure yer incapable of givin' me anythin' I could possibly want, bunny-bitch,"

Of course the Dragon would have to snark back at her sass. This was a much tamer exchange than the ones in earlier months shortly after her initial arrival and subsequent joining of the guild. He still wasn't sure why Jose thought it was a good idea for HIM to be the one training her in hand-to-hand combat he knew better than to decline the job. He was getting paid for it after all. Sure, there was no mention of it because the job was a few months out still but that didn't mean he couldn't give her shit for whatever reason he came up with at the time.

"I love how yer fuckin' assumin' that I'm gonna be disappointed that yer fuckin' ass ain't callin' a number that probably doesn't even fuckin' exist. Yer sittin' here actin' like a fuckin' PRINCESS when yer just a crazy bunny."

The Dragon didn't mind her craziness though. In fact, he felt that the way she acted was just that, an act. Likely one to make sure she fit in with the rest of the guild and its insanity on a daily basis. While they weren't nearly as off the wall insane as some other guilds were known for being, they were incredibly powerful and packed full of wizards with power. One such has her had a really hard time fitting in when her only magic was summoning. Speaking of, he'd pull out a leather bound box with gold trim and unceremoniously drop it into her lap.

"Got this as a reward for the job I just finished. I have no fuckin' use for it other than it collectin' dust with the others like it that I have so it's yers. Don't say I never gave ya anythin' bitch."

That being said, he'd turn on his heel, tuck his hands into his pants and make his way to his room toward the top floor of the guildhall. If she even bothered to open the box she'd find one of many gold Celestial Keys lay within the satin lining. Now, had the box itself been part of the reward or had the Dragon decided to wrap it up for her? She'd only find out if she asked him which he doubted she'd try.

@glitteringxchaos

@kurogane-redfox asked: Well, you could call 1-800-BITE-ME. [for Lucy in the Phantom verse]

Of course Gajeel was going to be his usual asshole self - really she should have expected it by that point. She'd been hopeful that, having gone most of the day without some sort of scathing comment or rude remark from the iron slayer, maybe he'd decided to just lay off it for at least one day. Clearly, she couldn't even give him that much credit. And all she'd done was roll her eyes once when he'd walked in the room. It wasn't her fault that just seeing his obnoxious face annoyed her, especially when he'd made eye contact and smirked in her direction.

"...mmmmm...you know I could do that...if I had any inclination of giving you what you wanted. But, you know what?"

A pause, and she studied him for a second with the most bored, unimpressed expression she could possibly manage before turning her attention back to her book and making herself comfortable while picking up her tea. She wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of reacting. Not this time. He'd been needling her for long enough that she knew that her reactions only fed into the apparent joy he got out of picking on her, and she had no intention of bringing him any kind of joy.

"I don't think I do. I really don't. So as much as I hate to disappoint you yet again, I'm afraid you're just going to have to call them yourself. Because I just can't help you today. I'm so very sorry."

[rare-and-beautiful-things]

Headcanons for Eto with their s/o please? (Sfw or nsfw is fine by me)

Omg someone requested my girl Eto 😖 So happy! Hope it's to your tastes, dear anon~

Yoshimura Eto with her s/o

SFW

I can see her with a woman or a nb person more easily than with a man but she'd probably be fine with either as long as its someone interesting enough.

Whether you're a ghoul or a human or something in between you'll have more chances with her if you meet her Takatsuki Sen persona first. While Eto is Eto no matter how she presents herself, her more sentimental side comes into play when she's wearing her Takatsuki mask. Aogiri Eto is more brutal, focused on the end goal, hungry for all too many things. Not that hunger ever really subsides but it's less agonizing when she acts as Takatsuki even if it's mostly play pretend.

If it's her that pursues the relationship with you in the first place and not the other way around she'll probably also use Sen. It's the obvious decision if you're human but even if you're not and even if you're acquainted with the Aogiri Eto, Takatsuki has the luxury of being a bit more peaceful - and Eto knows that most ghouls would appreciate the feeling.

She'd probably prefer to be the one pursuing the relationship and initiating most things btw. In the beginning, I mean, after a bit of time it stops mattering. It's just that with her past she'd probably be wary of random people trying to get close and personal with her (just expressing your interest and appreciation is fine tho, as long as it's respectful).

She won't make a big effort to hide her nature from a human partner. She wouldn't outright tell that she's a half-ghoul of course and she'd avoid that kind of conversations in the beginning, but at some point she'd invite you to her place and you'd open the fridge and see a human head or something in there. And she'd be like 'what, no, I'm not a ghoul, dummy. I'm a half-ghoul. But yeah, I eat humans, very tasty'. She'd make it sound like a casual joke but she'll be waiting carefully for your reaction. And if your reaction is to run away or to scream loudly or to fight her, odds are you're gonna die that day.

She'd try hard not to get attached. She won't let herself get attached to a human before she knows they're fine with her being half-ghoul at all - as well as she'd never let herself get attached to a ghoul until she knew for sure that their goals aligned. After that... she'd still try to deny herself that attachment but she wouldn't succeed. She'd be able to cut them loose or even kill her partner if she felt there was no other choice - but it would be so, so painful. Not like Eto's a stranger to the pain though, huh?

She doesn't expect unconditional loyalty, she doesn't expect you to prioritize her before everything and everyone else in your life. She couldn't promise you that either anyway. But some loyalty and some prioritization are expected. You are going to put in an effort if you want this relationship to last and not end with your lungs in her mouth.

You're her muse. She's gonna model a character or three after you. You'd think she'd write you as a love interest or a main character - but nope. You're gonna be either a mysterious prophet that dies tragically soon after being introduced and gives motivation to the main character, or a fierce young revolutionary that dies cuz they choked on their own tongue or somehow even more stupidly, or a background character who's repeatedly appeared on a sight of every great tragedy but they're never involved with anything dramatic and are just living their life as best as they can. She's gonna bully you lovingly, troll you a bit, but her writing is also where her hopelessness and loneliness are most noticeable. On the other hand, if you manage to give her some hope and light and make her feel loved, you'll be able to see the subtle but almost immediate change in the world of her books.

While she doesn't expect unconditional loyalty she does want unconditional love. She doesn't believe anyone could see the ugliest parts of her and still love her, so if someone's able to? She might just cry. And laugh at the same time. But she'll feel so happy and powerful - and she will make sure you know that her love for you is as strong as yours.

She'll give you gifts. They seem almost random cuz it may be clothes, or rocks, or jewelry, or something miscellaneous, and they can be very different in style and price, but the thing is they all reminded her of you in one way or another. It's her way to tell you "I think of you always, and here's the proof". And she does think of you - a lot more than she tells you with words.

Eto will make fun of you and prank you. You'll just have to live with that, there's no way to make her stop. She can go easy on you if she sees that it makes you upset but stopping completely? Out of question. You can prank her too tho, she's totally fine with it.

She'll steal your hoodies and sweaters and probably like half of your clothes. If you're bigger than her? Excellent! If you're smaller than her? She'll do that anyway and will whine about how little you apparently love her if you're so worried about some stretched shirts smh. You can wear her clothes if your size is the same or smaller and she'll still be unhappy about it. There's no way she lets you wear her clothes if you're bigger than her.

She's good with words but if you need encouragement or reassurance sometimes it's hard for her to give it. Because even if she consciously undestands what you need to hear, another part of her is like is it really? Wouldn't it be better in the long run if they were tougher? Or maybe I should break them and rearrange the pieces? Most of the time she'll say the right words but every once in a while... well, you'd better not be very fragile.

At some point, if you're able to overcome all the differences between you and all the obstacles in your way, you're going to be more important, valuable, precious to her than anything and anyone else - more than the revolution, the truth, the justice and the revenge. Ironically, it will probably only be possible if you share her ultimate goal and some of her values.

Nsfw under the cut

NSFW

She's a domme. More playful than controlling, but if you think you can control her... lol. She might let you have your fun for a bit but don't let it fool you, she will put you in place.

You can and will top sometimes - just remember who has the control here.

She indulges in bondage from time to time - prefers to go all out with it when she does tho. So unless you have a thing for handcuffs or something when she ties you up you won't be able to move at all.

Nicknames must reflect your dynamics so they may differ, but I think she'd enjoy being called daddy. ('mommy' would only come up if you have a mommy complex or something, otherwise she won't find it appropriate)

She wants to be worshipped - and sometimes she also wants to worship you. She doesn't expect you to pray to her or praise her tho (especially since sometimes you won't be able to talk), it's mostly something she wants to see in your eyes. Look at her like you would look at god and be eager to please her.

She's loud. You can be loud too but you shouldn't be louder than her - unless she specifically demands it. It's not just moans and noises, she just won't shut up during sex. She'll mix praise and degradation for you really nicely - but it will be so poetic she could as well publish her dirty talk.

She's hardcore. Especially if you're ghoul but even with a human she will rarely be soft. She wants to give you pleasure as well as pain and she wants you to find pleasure in the pain she gives you, so someone masochistic would probably work best with her. She's willing to go easy on you if you make it clear you don't enjoy that tho.

Edging or overstimulation? Why not both? She'll enjoy the first part more but she wouldn't want to stop so it'll naturally turn into overstim. None of that nonsense for herself tho, thank you.

She doesn't care much about marking you but she does care about tasting you, and marks occure naturally when she does that so... You're gonna be covered in hickeys and bite marks all over. Get used to it.

If you were afab she's gonna enjoy eating you out on your period so much if you let her. Will keep track of your cycle and look forward to it every month.

Quickies aren't very rare but they're... kinda one-sided. She'll opt for a quickie when she wants to play with you for a bit, to taste you. She'll take time when taking care of her own needs.

Will probably like having sex in semi-public places. She doesn't get much adrenaline out of these things but she'll like how it if it makes you flustered.

Aftercare is mostly determined by your needs. She'll get you water and maybe a snack, will help you to get to the bathroom. If you're human she'll check the bruises, if not there's a good chance she won't bother. She'll like some cuddles but most of the time she'll prefer some space when sleeping, even if you sleep together. There's also a good chance she'll wait until you're asleep and then go do her things - maybe write for some time or go to the Aogiri hq. She'll try to be back by the time you wake up though, brew some coffee for both of you.

[faulty-writes]

i wont stop envisioning how will rumi reject someone in highschool valentines day so i came to madam famous faulty since she makes the best characteristics. How ya doin i got some roses 🌹 :)

I'm doing pretty okay, looking to go back to school already after I finished my medical coding course. So I've been busy filling out all the forms for that and whatnot. I'm aiming to take a creative writing class, I really want to learn how to write scripts and all that good stuff. So, I'm sure y'all will get updated on how that's going later. Also roses? How romantic, I'll take that as compensation. Thank you.

Anywho, ask and you shall receive. Madam Faulty presents How Rumi Rejects Someone On Valentine's day.

Picture it: Rumi is in her last year and off her nut over finally becoming a pro hero. She already has the mindset that romance is kind of bullshit and that she's going to be taking the solo train. Choo choo. Her initial reaction to finding out it's Valentine's Day is well...almost comedically childish. "Yuck, you actually celebrate that BS?" she'll question as she sticks her tongue out in disgust before jabbing her thumb into her chest. "If ya ask me, it sucks being weighed the fuck down by someone. That's why I'm going solo style as a hero!" she'll give a big ol' smirk before walking away.

However, despite her high level of self-confidence, it doesn't even cross her mind that she's able to somehow spark someone's interest which is what makes her reject other people's advances so easily.

If someone attempted to walk up to her and ask her out then and there, her initial reaction would be confusion. She'd look at them with a raised eyebrow and her ears would be folded down as if she doesn't fully comprehend what they are asking her. So that will prompt them to explain in more detail that they'd like to take her out on a date, maybe dinner or something like that and she'll just laugh before slapping their back, a little too roughly of course. "Pff, don't tell me you bought into this damn crap too there pretty face," she'll say before yet again laughing. "Yeah...I don't think so," she'll start walking away while saying, "I can get my own damn food and eat in peace without your ass there," she'll turn to look at them one last time before giving a friendly wink as if telling them 'nice try' and disappearing down the hallway or inside a nearby classroom.

If one were to say, try and surprise her with little gifts. Say a small box of chocolates in her locker, or a small stuffed bunny animal on her desk, or even a love note. She'd more than likely climb to the roof and throw the chocolates over it, taking some extra pride as she watches them hit the ground and splatter everywhere. She'd all but rip the stuffed bunny's head off before tossing it in the trash. "I'm the only damn bunny around here," she'll mutter, and finally when she's done reading the love note or what she could stomach which isn't a lot. She'd crumble it up and throw it in the trash before tracking the person down. Once she finds them, she'll kick the nearest locker, wall, or other they are standing next to or near and effectively scare the shit out of them before crossing her arms. Her leg will still be embedded in whatever she kicked to effectively block one of the person's escape routes before she gives them the darkest glare. Her red eyes would look quite menacing before she'd reach over and grab them by the collar of their uniform. She'll pull them right up against her and use her free hand to point a finger in their face. "Next time you try to give these stupid little hand-me-down gifts, DON'T. Got that!?" she'd snap before shaking the poor person and dropping them to the ground. She'll then nod and smile because she enjoys the sight of people cowering beneath her before she yet again walks away.

At least those are the two examples I can think of, hell I've never been romanced but uh people do this kind of stuff right? Regardless, as much as one can love Rumi. It'd be quite a dangerous mission to try and pursue her.

[overnightheartbeats]

Damn, she was good. And he almost raised an eyebrow at her hypothetical. If this was anyone else, he’d wonder how they came up with these things, but it didn’t surprise him coming from her. She was always saying the most random things, Diego had grown used to it. Though, it had taken him a while. He remembered their early days, always surprised by the things she said. How her mind just came up with these random things. Still, the things that once caught him by surprise, he now found absolutely adorable. "And just like that, a recording of our conversation is being sent to the authorities." Yeah, he got her ass now. They both knew though, there was no meaning behind their words. Diego just kept going, partly to see the tint in her cheeks and to continue seeing that wonderful smile that brought him to his knees.

The questions were not too much of a surprise, but somehow, he was still unprepared. Funny. It mirrored how he felt about her too. Diego wasn't too surprised when he came to terms with his feelings. Once he got over the initial shock, and the questions along the lines of, how did this happen? Things made sense, his feelings seemed obvious. Yet, he still felt unprepared with the rush that hit him. Like getting smacked across the face with the truth. Oh shit, I'm falling for this girl. and then, a bit more relaxed, oh...of course, I'm falling for her. Hm, Tessa had a point. Maybe, he did deserve a bit more credit, but standing next to her, level one seemed pretty appropriate. "It could never be an issue," he assured her.

This pretend job interview had really been flipped on him, how did this even happen? "Ah, well I'm assuming the pay is good. What can I say? I'm optimistic." He couldn't deny that the smirk on her face made him nervous. He felt the odd butterflies rummaging in his stomach, and he wondered, is that the reaction he elicited in her? How did Tessa put up with him? Diego didn't know, but he hoped that she wouldn't get tired of him someday. Her laugh brought him to life, but the question stunned him a bit. Did Tessa really not know the actions he meant? How he was always a phone call away? Or how he showed up time and time again, despite her pushing him away? How he couldn't stay away from her, and he silently vowed to be there for her? Diego wasn't sure he was up for that today, for having to bare his soul further. He had done enough of that today, and he just couldn't...not when he didn't know how the story ends. So, instead, to answer her question about his actions...he quoted her. "That's for me to know, and you to find out." If he needed more time, Diego only shook his head slowly and offered a smile. As if to say yes, though he didn't point out who (between them) needed that time and space. That much, seemed obvious.

Tessa was saying all the right things, the words his heart didn't even know he wanted in that moment. No one else she'd rather share it with. That was heartwarming, and he felt special. Really special. So, maybe he did have a shot after all. His heartbeat sped up just a tiny bit, Diego shouldn't. He knew he shouldn't get his hopes up so quickly, but there was just something about exchanging these words in the comfort and privacy of his car. "You always think I'm exaggerating," he added, lightly squeezing her chin before letting go, and opening the car door.

The conversation had started with random facts. Diego reciting the fun facts he knew about the movie. Though, he wasn't a talker during movies, he did enjoy discussing these things afterwards. But between fun facts and their conversation steering away from the movie, he felt himself dozing off. That wasn't an indicator of the movie, or his company - Diego was very entertained, but it was like his exhaustion had caught up to him. Her hair looked a bit out of place, sleeping on the couch was definitely not the most comfortable. He couldn't help the yawn that followed, taking the opportunity to stretch his limbs. "Hey...good morning." The man hadn't even been awake for five minutes, and she was already calling him out. "Photos?" A groan fell from his lips. "I will get you back for that Tess." Despite his threat, a smile quickly formed. "Drooling on you, and yet you stayed with me all night." Hey, she could've easily moved to her bed and left him here, right? "What?" Did he? Diego did tend to mumble in his sleep sometimes, Tessa knew this, but a lot of what he said never made much sense. Or, was she just messing with him? That seemed more likely. A bit unfair of her to mess with him so early in the morning. "Did I? You sure you weren't dreaming it? Wishing I said all those things about you?" After a moment, he stood up from the couch and stretched once more. Just for good measure. "So, can I interest you in some coffee..maybe breakfast?" A glance down at his watch. "I have a few hours before work."

"I'd be careful if I were you... You're giving me ideas. Since, at least I don't think you have paper or a pen, then what's going to stop me from doing something before you have the chance to write a note? And here I thought you were smarter than that, D," Tessa teased, the idea amusing her greatly. As if she would ever dare, though the idea was tempting on the occasions where he pissed her off - nope, even then she could never. The idea of speculating was more than plenty for her to go on. Such as now, with the way he managed to get under her skin and fluster her without even trying. The smirk that adorned his lips indicated all too well that Diego knew what he was doing. Made her want to wipe it off his face but he also wore it so well that she would be content with leaving it there, no matter how often he left her with rosy cheeks. To his rebuttal, she just offered a sweet smile.

Tessa was simply the girl who asked too many questions. Her questions could range from: why do you have to 'put your two cents in when it is really only a 'penny for your thoughts?' Where’s that extra penny going? to are there any belly buttons on Adam and Eve? to where does it say Humpty Dumpty is an egg in the nursery rhyme? All varying kinds of weirdness. They were fun to ask; made for good discussion points. And this now, discussing his choices for level numbers, that was frankly another one of her usual questions. And maybe there was a part of her who liked to put him on the spot, naturally interested in his answers. She liked knowing what he had to say, his thoughts. Her eyes were trained on his as she patiently waited for an answer, tugging her lower lip between her teeth. "Okay. Fair enough, that makes sense. I still think you could probably give yourself more credit than level one, though. From what you've told me today, that is," Tessa mused. "But that's okay. I'm sure we can find ways to level you up, get us on the same level. Unless I keep leveling up, that is... but we'll see," she added with a thoughtful hum. Her smile grew at Diego's additional comment about liking her 'romantic vibe.' "Good! I'm glad it won't become an issue then."

How the tables have turned! Yes! Yippee! It was nice, refreshing even, to finally be on the other side. To be the...flusterer. That wasn't even a word, was it? She didn't care. All she knew that as much as Diego did his usual, trying to keep his cool stance, which she would normally have believed, but she knew him too well. The way he kept nodding along to whatever she said... almost as if he was stumped for words and then to top it all off, there was that little stutter when she suggested now being the interview. She caught him off guard and that gave her a wave of smugness and satisfaction, her turn to develop a little smirk on her face. It was nice to be in his shoes for a change. "But you just said the pay was good," Tessa pointed out, quizzically raising an eyebrow, that very smirk growing more and she never even tried to hide it. Why would she? It wasn't like he ever provided her with that same courtesy! "Your actions, huh?" she said, as though having to consider the words, unable to contain the bubble of laughter that slipped. "What actions are those then? And you never prepared for this interview? Did you want to completely throw the job opportunity or what?" Of course, Tess was merely teasing him. He had managed to get her worked up so many times today alone, and many more days to come she assumed, so this was her way of getting her own back. Seeing if she could return the favour and push his buttons for a change. "Would you like to reschedule this interview? Do I need to give you more time to prepare?" How funny that was, considering it was her who needed the time to prepare...whatever this was, whatever the next step in their relationship was. Assuming that's what would happen, that is. Of course, it would, who was she kidding?

Hearing him thank her honestly made her heart melt, and made her feel all warm and gooey inside. In the most sickening, cheesiest way possible. Tessa's perfect style and way of being, that was for sure. Such simplicity in a sentence, such a normal phrase and gesture, and yet, it meant everything to her. Diego meant everything to her. "Sharing is caring. And there's nobody else I'd rather share it with." Oh, god, had she really said that out loud? Being cheesy again. Was she allowed to do that, knowing she was making him wait for her to think about them? Again, she couldn't take that back either. It didn't have to be a big thing, and it wasn't really. It was the truth; there was no one else that she would rather share it with. That place, or anything else, really. Tessa wanted to share everything with him. Anything he wanted. Surely that meant something, didn't it? That whatever would happen between them, it was inevitable. The way he looked at her brought butterflies in her tummy, the sound of his laugh was like music to her ears. Anything he said and did had a profound effect on her... How long had it been like that? How long has these feelings been festering? "I think you're exaggerating, personally, but thanks," she said, eliciting a soft giggle. And why was her heart racing so fast when he held her chin? "That's me." Another laugh. She shook her head at his mention of bribery, muttering an offhanded comment about how he shouldn't need to be bribed under her breath, rolling her eyes when he called her a huge bully but laughed yet again anyway before they headed inside.

The Legend of Zorro probably wasn't the first film Tessa would have chose, honestly, but a deal was a deal. She'd let him choose for a change so she couldn't comment on it. In fact, it turned out she ended up enjoying it more than she thought - it had been a fair amount of time since watching it for the first time. Maybe she enjoyed it because she was in his company. And how much of the movie had she actually been watching when she wasn't talking to him? Sometimes about the movie, other times literally anything else. Diego was most definitely the first to fall asleep and she only realised when she rambled for about five minutes straight and received no response in return. She never had the heart to move him, besides he looked adorable when he was sleeping. After that, it never took her that long to drift off either. The next time she stirred from her peaceful slumber was when she heard the sound of his voice. "Hmm?" she murmured, yawning quietly before opening her eyes, tilting her head a fraction to peer up at him. "Hi," she giggled. "You fell asleep first, for the record. I have photos to prove it," Tessa teased, a little grin shaping her lips. "Drooling on me and anything, disgusting." She was only playing him up, teasing to get a reaction out of me. "And you were rambling in your sleep about how amazing I am. It was cute."

Imagine having a second child with Viktor Drago...

So I wrote this because @lady-olive-oil was insistant on killing people off, lol. Love you Liv!

I also kind of forgot I wrote this so there was more I wanted to write but I forgot those parts.

**********************************************

You weren't meant to give birth so early. But here you were sitting in a nice relaxing bath, Lily on the bathroom floor drawing more pictures for Viktor while you soaked. If you were honest the contractions had started early in the morning, but they varied between 4hrs and 3 minutes apart. So you had ignored them. But now it was 2 in the afternoon you were pretty sure you were having contractions - the proper ones.

"Lily baby, can you pass mommy here phone please" her little head popped up beside the bath with a big smile. "Are you going to ring daddy? Can I talk to him?" she asked as she disappeared out of the bathroom.

Viktor should have been the one you were going to call but he wasn't.

"I'm going to call Aunt Jenny" you smile kissing her forehead in thanks letting her get back to her drawing. "I'll make Aunt Jenny a picture too" she states, paper rustling about. You pressed the call button next to Jenny's picture (a picture of her and lily at the beach) and waited for her to answer.

"Thank god you called. I'm so tired, I'm literally falling asleep at my desk… What's new?" she sang.

"Code Red" you whispered down the phone.

"Huh?" you can hear the frowns of confusion on Jenny's face. "Oh, Lily, I can go get her from preschool" you could here her moving around more on her end.

"No, Lily's here with me-"

"Hi Aunt Jenny!" Lily called from the floor, voice echoing off the bathroom tiles.

"Oh" Jenny was frowning again.

"The other code red, the new one. The second one" you watched Lily for a reaction but she was absorbed back into her drawing.

"Shit" Jenny shouted.

"Shit, shit, shit! SHIT! Are you sure? It's not those fake ones, those pickle hiccup contraction things" she panicked, you could hear things being knocked around and a draw open and then slam closed.

"You mean Braxton Hicks, and no"

"You're not due for like another 2 months, I'm looking at my calendar. It says on my calender" you could hear her voice go up an octave in panic. You were pretty sure she was also poking the calender too.

Jenny was down as your second birthing partner, after Viktor of course. But since Viktor was away for a fight that was still wasn't due for another 6 weeks, Jenny had happily (and in a drunken state) assured Viktor she'd be your number two should anything happen. But it would be fine because nothing would happen because you still had two months to go.

"I know, I know...Can you maybe come anyway, and maybe it'll be fine by the time you get here"

"Of course, I'm leaving now" she hung up quickly.

"Will Auntie Jenny bring me jellies" Lily asked, pencils poised in her hand.

"Maybe" you laugh, glad she oblivious to what's happening.

By the time Jenny arrived you were out of the bath and sitting in the living room on your yoga ball wondering if you should call Viktor or not.

He'd flown back to the states to fight again, and really concentrate on getting ready as this opponent was almost equal in size to Viktor. You knew if you called him he'd freak out and even fly back (or walk if he had to).

"(Y/n)!!!" Jenny practically screamed, slamming the door closed. You could hear her but not see her. Lily sprinted off to find her Aunt, and reappeared on Jenny's hip.

"Are they for real?" she asked looking like a deer caught in the headlights.

"I think so, they've just got worse"

"Auntie bought me jellies!" Lily waved the box and then wriggled out of Jenny's arms and ran off. At least she was occupied.

****

“Is it okay to make a call?" you asked in the back of the ambulance. The female paramedic nodded as she carried on writing things down.

Jenny was following in her car with Lily and your hospital bags.

You pressed the call button and held the phone against your ear. There was a series of tial tones, including the international one.

"Hello" it was a quick, short answer.

"Ivan, it's y/n" slight relief washed over you hearing his voice.

"Hello. You want to speak to Viktor?"

"No, no, no, no, no" there were too many no's for Ivan's liking - he felt worried but the fact you weren't crying and he could understand you made him worry a tiny bit less.

Ivan said something in Russian but you couldn't hear, it was muffled, like he had his hand over the mouthpiece. There was the sound of a metal door slamming closed and then silence.

"What's wrong?"

"The baby, its early" there was a long pause from both of you - you both didn't know what to say.

"I'll get Viktor"

"No don't...I mean I know he needs to know, but not right now. You know he'll get on the first plane back, won't think twice about the fight. I can't let him do that." Ivan said nothing but also agreed. But he also wanted to tell his son. Congratulate him, tell everyone in the training room - he had another grandchild.

"I'll let him know it was all my idea not to tell him, just try and act like everything's normal. Please?“

“Are you okay? Are you at the hospital?" the concern in Ivan's voice broke you and you started to cry.

"I'm fine. I'm on my way in an ambulance"

"Are you on your own?" he sound panicked. "Where's Lily?"

"She's following in a car with Jenny" Ivan remembered Jenny from when she came to the beach that day. Ivan was struck by how caring Jenny was with Lily - making sure she ate and drank enough while still having fun.

"She must call me" you nodded even tho Ivan couldn't see you.

"Here" the paramedic handed you a tissue to dry your eyes. "Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay"

***

Olivia May Drago, born 2 months early but otherwise healthy.

Jenny had called Ivan to let him know everything was okay - you were okay, Lily was okay (but probably had new found profession as some sort of Antinal Nurse specialising in premature babies) and that Viktor's new baby girl was okay too. It was only when Jenny came back into the room, an hour later did you realise she had been talking to Ivan for an hour. "He's so funny, Ivan" she said with a smile on her face. You raised a quizzical eyebrow at her as she peered into the neonatal cot to look at Olivia. "Did you just say Ivan's funny?“ you asked, maybe the drugs were making you hear things." Yeah, the jokes he cracks. But otherwise he says he's glad everyone's okay. I said I'll call him tomorrow"

"You should go, it's late" Lily had crashed out on the bed in the room reserved for partners to sleep on.

"No way, do you know how hard it was to get this parental leave. HR officially hate me, so I'm going to use every moment to stare at this beautiful girl" she cooed, picking up Olivia from her cot.

Lily had been born 4 weeks early, so Jenny had fought tooth and nail to have the right to use shared parental leave to help you look after Lily and the baby assuming Olivia would be born early too, despite not actually being a parent to either. She had initially demanded full maternity leave, but had settled for 3 and a half weeks "shared parental" leave. "That's what they get for not having a watertight policy" she'd smugly smiled sipping non alcoholic wine with you when she told you when you met her for lunch just after Viktor left to prepare for the fight.

You were trying not to cry but the harder you did, the quicker your eyes filled up with tears. So when you blinked they came streaming down your face. "Hey, don't you start crying because I'm gonna start crying again" Jenny moved to perch on the edge of your bed still holding Olivia.

"I know you feel bad, but don't. Everything is okay, you're okay, baby's okay. Lily's okay. I'm okay" the last part made you laugh and you brushed the tears away.

"But we need to make sure Viktor's okay, and that means not telling him just yet because we app know what will happen. I'll just keep taking a million photos and videos so he has stuff to watch. Here, hold her" Jenny passed you Olivia and grabbed her phone to take pictures.

"Do I look a mess?" you asked, aware that not only had you given birth 6 hours ago but you had also cried one too many times. "Actually, you look so good. Which makes me slightly hate you" she placed her phone down and then made grabbing hands at Olivia. "My ovaries hurt when I don't hold her" she blushed.

***

You where now sat in the hotel suite that had been reserved for Viktor. Lily was laying on the floor - half on top of the fluffy rug, half off - drawing more pictures for Viktor. You were sure she was on over 100 at this point, but it kept her occupied, you enjoyed listening to her stories behind them and writing them on the back of the picture for Viktor to read later.

She was currently drawing the picture of him winning his current fight - the one that was meant to start in 45 minutes.

You were sat on the overly large sofa breastfeeding Olivia, after having to shout at Buddy Marcella and the entourage he brought for you to leave. He'd brought a nanny with him - just in case you wanted to leave Lily and Olivia to go watch the fight. He was driving you crazy more than usual.

You didn't need help, you just needed space and for not a single soul to mention to Viktor that he had an earlier than expected baby girl he'd never seen. You'd also spoken to Ivan at length who had been extra hard and stubborn on your behalf making sure everything and everyone would be perfect.

***

Just as the fight started Olivia woke up with a cry. You half didn't mind as she'd been asleep for a long time, as if she was waiting for the perfect moment to announce her presence in the world. She was very quiet for a newborn.

You noticed that Viktor seemed to be fighting differently, quicker, even harder, like he just wanted it to be over.

But that wasn't surprising. When Viktor had agreed to the fight, there were a few additional requirements that Buddy had added in. Endorsements and a whole bunch of extra PR stuff, including promo stuff with Adonis Creed.

"Hey!" you called to Buddy. He turned around with that stupid grin on his face. "Just remembered my husband's a person and not just your cash cow" he'd then proceeded to try and butter you up but it didn't work.

***

As the ring filled with people from either team and the official referee to call the match you spotted Buddy climbing into the ring. You held your breath as you watched him whisper something to Viktor. Ivan appeared and pushed Buddy away, but you could see Viktor was getting impatient and just wanted the result said. You watched Ivan place his hands on Viktor's shoulders and he calmed down a little. The referee appeared and the camera angle zoomed back showing Viktor and his opponent standing either side of the referee.

You didn't let your breathe go until the referee held up Viktor's arms and the crowd cheered. Lily jumped up dancing around with her picture in her hand. "Told you daddy won" she wiggled her hips side to side and threw the picture in the air along with her crayons.

***

Now you felt sick. Sheer panic and you tried to organise your thoughts and your words to explain to Viktor that you were sorry for not telling him that Olivia had come early, that you cried after every phone call with him because you wanted to just tell him. But you were glad that you didn't, that there were no distractions.

"Lily, come here please" you call, her silence not always a good thing. She skips from the bedroom, her face covered in melted chocolate. Then she stop rigid, eyes wide. "Daddy!“ she screams, sprinting past you. You turn, this isn't how you wanted him to find out. "Grandpa!“ Lily screeches, almost another octave higher. She doges Viktor and throws herself at Ivan.

Viktor doesn't seem to mind that Lily skipped him. He's staring at you or Olivia, or both of you as you rock Olivia in your arms. She's quiet now, as if nothing happened. He drops his bag and slowly walks closer to you. When he reaches you, he pulls you against him, his lips rest on forehead which makes you cry.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there, I'm sorry you had to do this on your own" Viktor tenderly hugs you, careful not to squash Olivia.

You pull away to wipe your face with one hand, surprised at how relaxed Viktor is. "My dad told me. I made him when I saw he had a lot of calls from Jenny, I thought something was wrong" you looked to Ivan, but he was busy cleaning the chocolate from Lily's face.

***

Everything was calmer. Everything was fine. Viktor sat holding Olivia, with Lily on his lap. They talk in hushed tones over a sleeping Olivia. Both falling quiet every so often to stare at the peaceful baby.

Viktor was stunned by how beautiful his second baby girl was. Her tiny nose, her tiny mouth, her ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes. Lily's mind was slightly blown by Viktor telling her she was once this small, even he was too.

Together they couldn’t stop looking at Olivia. Every now and then Lily gently kissed her sister - telling Viktor all the things she planned to teach her little sister - coloring within the lines, eating jellies that Aunt Jenny brings etc, eating all the chocolate you could find in a hotel suite.

By the time Ivan got back with food for everyone, it was his turn to fuss over his new grandchild. "World's happiest grandfather" Ivan announced taking Olivia from Viktor. He sat down on the couch with Olivia while you pulled out your phone to show Viktor the million photos you'd taken while he was away.

America: too long LOL America: but that'd be 1 date in his case Libi: I can't imagine how awkward that must be when it's your mum and your house Libi: it's bad enough when a friend or an auntie or something dates a dickhead America: she's dated fuckwits for as long as she's dated America: but they don't usually see a month in Libi: I'll 🤞 he's gone sooner rather than later America: Thanks Libi: You're okay, right? Libi: That might be weird to ask America: I guarantee it's weirder to answer Libi: You don't have to, that was out of line Libi: but if you wanted to, I wanted to give you the chance, even though all I can do is listen Libi: but we can as easily leave it America: I'm 👌 in the sense that he's probably not gonna murder us all in our beds Libi: That's always something America: but if your grandad decides to leave your nan, I'm down to move in & have nightly debates Libi: It's been nearly 60 years so Libi: he's either overdue or change or you're out of luck Libi: but you're still invited to come crash when you need America: unless Sean makes me a better offer, you win Libi: Of course, of course America: unlikely, I can't really open with please rescue me Libi: Might be a bit strong Libi: but the spare room doesn't come with any of those connotations America: Can I have the dog too? Libi: She'll have to decide for herself, it would be rude for me to Libi: but she's pretty chill as long as you give her treats or attention so it's likely America: What's her name? Libi: Killer Libi: I did not name her America: 😶 I don't really get to say anyone's got a shit name anyway Libi: What's in a name, the English teachers will chime in America: music teacher would probably say a lot Libi: **harmonize it, please America: [does as if we're not fully in class rn] Libi: Brava! 👏 Libi: so much better than whatever 'painting' I've managed this lesson, whoops America: that'll be my L to take for not shutting up America: sorry to your 🎨 Libi: We'll all survive, even if this not-masterpiece does not 🗑 Libi: painting is not my thing anyway America: I never got prime fridge real estate America: as an only child, you would Libi: Only child, technically, but my grandparents have ALL the grandkids, so it didn't always work out like that America: my nan has the same favourite as my mam so 🤷 America: consistency 🎊🎉 Libi: I don't need 3 guesses Libi: why is it Libi: is she most like them or what America: 👼 America: blue eyed, blonde haired fucking wonder America: my entire family IS that shallow Libi: Well I can say blue eyes are overrated and you can say blonde hair is America: skipping over the 🚩 of taking German when my family are basically neo-Nazis Libi: will have to get you out of my DMs stealth if that one rings true Libi: no negotiating America: I don't want to do the cliché plea of how different I am but like, in this instance, it holds up Libi: I'll hear it America: how does a girl prove she's not a Nazi around here? 💭 Libi: 😂 Can you prove/disprove a negative is a big 💭 Libi: too big for before lunch, I think America: Gary's existence proves a negative Libi: 📢🔥 Libi: He felt that America: 💖✂ Libi: If that's the order of the day, I'm not mad Libi: have played cupid once here so America: What about you? Libi: What about me? America: There's absolutely no 😍💖? Libi: Oh, nah Libi: not right now 🤷 America: Then you probably can't answer my kissing questions America: I think that practising on my hand has to be movie propaganda but pretending it'll be perfect & I won't 🤤 all over anyone has to be too Libi: I could try Libi: I've had some but maybe not recently enough to experience counts? America: this close to picking up a 🎸 & opening the floor for them but my sister would KILL me Libi: and Miss would fully be staging an intervention before you could get any decent ones America: even though she's literally a teacher & I'm asking to be taught something Libi: The hypocrisy 😏 Libi: I think the less you think about it the easier it is Libi: which is such non-advice I know America: 👌 have a drink & just do it Libi: lowkey, yeah Libi: nerves never help a performance, right Libi: sure your teacher would have to agree on that one America: Did I agree to putting on a show for him? 👌 I see how it is Libi: 😲 Libi: not what I meant America: No?

Libi: You know Libi: didn't want to be the girl who makes everything about her dead parents Libi: but arguably I'm the proof of everything going 🤯 so I do know a little bit about it America: Shit sorry! I forgot Libi: Don't be Libi: it's good it's not like, forefront of the facts you can recall on me, if anything America: I know what you mean, from a family of attention seeking whores isn't how I like to advertise myself Libi: I'm sure I could make a claim for that title too according to the masses Libi: but neither of us need to 📢 America: send my apologies to Sean if that's what he was expecting America: I do need attention but it doesn't have to be sexual specifically, as Miss can testify Libi: I should HOPE she can America: She plays hard to get, for all her therapizing Libi: She in the 🏃?

America: Cool or his teacher is a dick 📴 America: hopefully he's not in a lesson with my sister, that'll turn him off Libi: Not ideal Libi: She's probably changed all her classes to match Jake's, right? America: 🤮 Libi: Too real America: the upside of Gary's regime is that I don't have to see Jake at my house on the regs Libi: Upside? Libi: That's the WHOLE appeal America: 👏 You're not one of the 'everybody' Chi thinks is obsessed with him 🎊🎉 Libi: I don't even know him, in reality Libi: so I probably shouldn't 💬 on him but the only times I've heard him speaking he's been being dismissive or rude so Libi: meh America: Nobody knows him in reality, they live a bubble 🏰👑 America: but when you party, you'll get to know him America: what a fuckwit he happily presents himself as Libi: 😰 Libi: as long as that's in the bottom 3 of the experience, not top, then it won't put me off the 🥳 as a whole America: don't worry, you're too pretty to have to hear the full 💯 Libi: ❓❓❓ America: I just mean, he'll frame it like a compliment for you, so it'll be easier to take or brush off Libi: Compliments don't mean much when they come from an arsehole Libi: 🤷 America: I know Chi didn't feel that Libi: We've all got our taste, I guess Libi: or lackthereof Libi: I'm making myself sound more and more like a nun by the minute America: Not gonna insist that you prove you're not Libi: 🤞 it'll become clear Libi: obvious lack of habit aside America: Excellent wordplay Libi: Do my best Libi: though as it's art, not english, probably not appreciated by anyone but you rn America: Graffiti is words a lot of the time & that's art Libi: That's a good point Libi: I'll have to see if he goes for it America: Good luck Libi: Do you like high school so far? America: maybe that's supposed to be a weirder question than if I'm okay, but I lowkey do like it Libi: Me too 🙃 Libi: Primary was really boring by the end America: I thought everyone would treat me like a giant baby but I've made so many cool older friends already America: & I refuse to give my sister credit for them ALL Libi: Yeah, I thought the same thing Libi: apart from the usual dickheads being like that to everyone whatever the reason, everyone's been pretty chill Libi: and it's nice that we have SOME say over what we take now, instead of just doing a bit of everything America: My even older sister, from your flashbacks, made this place seem really different America: in a bad way Libi: SAME Libi: not your older sister, that would be random Libi: my aunties and stuff made it sound like literal HELL though America: She is a LOL random type, honestly, I'd believe it Libi: 😂 Libi: No DM slides from either sister, we're 👌 America: that'll happen when she finds out you pimped me to Sean Libi: 😬 Libi: well when you put it like THAT America: jk she hasn't threatened anyone on my behalf since everyone was over my OUTRAGEOUS lies about who my da was & I got doxxed to prove how 🥱 he is America: Primary really did get boring by the end Libi: Like I said, no imagination America: what was your favourite lie of mine?

America: this would be the PERFECT time for an elaborate lie Libi: Feel free America: you're expecting it now Libi: Suppose that does take away most of the fun Libi: Everyone thought I made up all the stuff about my parents too America: Why didn't you? Libi: That's the thing, probably would've been more comfortable for everyone if I did, honestly Libi: guess the details made it seem unbelievable enough but it just didn't cross my mind, really Libi: I was just wanting to 💬 about them all the time when I was little America: I remember that! Not saying you inspired me to become a pathological liar with how cool it all sounded though America: I probably wouldn't even if Chi hadn't be so mad you gatecrashed her birthday party Libi: 😏 See, can't say I couldn't hang America: she'll still try to but she's said worse Libi: To be expected America: like a text from Sean Libi: Let's not get it twisted though Libi: not excited for it America: 😐 is me Libi: What emoji can I be/ America: 🥳 when I'm done with you, bitch Libi: 😂 I accept America: ask your not boyfriend when he's down & slide into my dms Libi: I will Libi: You can hit up Sean and ask him when he hits you up, finally Libi: I think he's gonna hit you up just after lunch Libi: to show he's casual America: 🐁🐈 America: I'll resist the urge to throw myself at him before then America: to show I understand how this all works Libi: Very mature Libi: or actually, not, but we have to get down to boy's levels America: he's about at our level right now, I think that's how the age gap works Libi: That's fair Libi: there's a lot of lads who still think we're diseased or are more interested in whatever game they are rn America: yeah, I don't know how much he knew about me before we met but there's no escaping that we only just got here America: an age based lie isn't happening Libi: No, that's not working Libi: I don't think you need to lie though Libi: he clearly wants to get to know you more too or I'd be awkwardly letting you down right now, right America: unless you're either too nice to do it or mean enough to want to see me make a twat of myself Libi: 🧐 Libi: Have to see, but I am neither, for the record America: catch me on the rebound 🕷🕸 Libi: All part of the plan America: I'll partner up with you in PE, give you a chance to make your move America: the seating plan'll fuck you over for the rest America: really would look like a nazi if I force Bekah to give up her seat for me like I'm your new BFFL America: 💖💣 Libi: Maybe we don't bring up the 2nd N word around her, like Libi: otherwise she's gonna be cool America: 👌 I'll 🤫 America: no casual German dropped into the conversation Libi: You wanna sit next to each other in German though Libi: the boy I sat next to is 🥱😴 America: The boy I sit next to did fall asleep recently so yeah America: I need to know if I'm 🥱 or he's 😴 & it's not about me Libi: 👋 It's a date Libi: 😘 jk America: they do like it when we roleplay America: 💐🕯🍷
