The Love Language of Nature
Want to send a special message to your Valentine? Say it with flowers!
Goldieâs eye caught on the flier taped to the inside of the window in front of her. Sheâd been walking through downtown Duckburg, between errands, heist-planning, and errands for heist-planning, doing some window-browsing. Every window display was making her painfully aware of the upcoming holiday, yet she still took time to take note of things she couldnât help but want to get for her special someone. Because of course she would.
The flower arrangements displayed before her were admittedly beautiful, and Goldie had seen plenty to compare around the world in her years. But these were close, were here, and the store offered free delivery with purchase if booked a week or more before the big day.
And the flierâs implications were making it all the more tempting. It listed a whole slew of flowers, and their special, hidden meanings.
She wasnât the best with words, she knew that; maybe flowers were her love language?
Browsing through the list still, she pulled out her phone and asked Siri (Louie had given her a smartphone 101 walkthrough a while ago, insisting that she needed to âup her tech game to at least the basics, câmonâ if she was going to pull off schemes in the modern age, and especially with him) to call Scrooge. She couldnât wait around for him to answer a text (which she was very good at, thank you very much) lest she lose her nerve.
It took him three rings to answer.
âHello?â
âHey, Sourdough. Would you kill me if I sent you flowers?â
âThat depends, are they poisonous?â Scrooge asked, not missing a beat.
There was an elevator ding in the background on his end, then more of an open din, and Goldie knew he was at the Money Bin. She automatically turned to the behemoth structure in the distance, as if it would amplify their conversation, and her ensuing indignation.
She let out an offended squawk. âHey! No they are not, thank you, but if youâre gonna be like that, then never mind!â
He laughed, and the sound reminded her why she did want to send the flowers, darn him. âHey, it wouldnât be the first time,â he unfortunately had to point out.
âYeah, well...â
So sending him a bouquet of lilies, tulips, and lupine from a mythic beastâs wedding from the Underworld to rid herself of a curse hadnât been her finest hour.
He lived.
âWould you kill me if I sent you flowers?â Scrooge asked, reversing the question.
A blush bloomed through her cheeks instantly. âI...n-no...â So much for not being cursed - her heart was getting softer by the second these days, it seemed.
âThen thereâs your answer, dear. Look at you, being so thoughtful.â
Goldieâs brain was ready to self-combust at that, but she had to recover some of her dignity as this call came to a close. A quick, stabilizing breath, and- âYeah, yeah, just try to forget this conversation ever happened, Sourdough. Iâll talk to you later.â
âSounds grand.â There was a squeak of his old desk chair as he sat down. âI love you.â
âLove you, too.â
Despite the teasing, the warm smile was what remained as Goldie hung up and scanned over the flower list once more before strolling into the flower shop. The air was intoxicating with lovely, fresh scents - heck, all flowers were poisonous if they made her feel like this, this...light, giddy, and airy, and despicably drunk with love.
âHey there, welcome to Rhodaâs Dendrons! Anything I can help you with today?â the young duck with curly black hair behind the front counter asked.
Goldieâs roving gaze snapped to her as she approached. She tapped a finger on an identical flier from the window that was laminated and taped to the counterâs glass top. âYeah, Iâd like to order some flowers for delivery...â
_____
On the evening of Valentineâs Day, an elaborate arrangement of flowers sat atop Scroogeâs dresser in a tall, multi-tiered golden vase. A pamphlet version of the storeâs flower guide, with the bouquetâs choices checkmarked with hearts in a sugary pink ink, laid waiting on the floor next to the bed, its seal broken despite the bashful protests the sender had put up for its recipient to wait to read until the next day (or until her near-impossible death, thanks immortality).
(She had insisted that the pamphlet be included, on a whim of courage, because as embarrassed as she would be, she was also pretty sure he wouldnât have a clue about the language of flowers, as far as she knew.)
And thankfully, he had read it (as she sat next to him on his bed in half-mortification, half-burning-desire, holding his hand and looking away, his own squeeze growing stronger by the second between sounds of amusement and adoration), because she had been immediately bombarded with hundreds of loving kisses when he finished reading, and now they laid entangled together, happily exhausted, utterly closer in heart, and basking in a symphony of floral aromas.
On the pamphlet, the following flowers were checked off:
Blue salvia - I think of you
Dahlia - good taste
Heliotrope - eternal love, devotion
Ladyâs slipper - capricious beauty
Lilac - joy of youth
Pink rose - happiness
Red camellia - youâre a flame in my heart
Red carnation - I admire you and am missing you
Red rose - love, I love you
Red salvia - forever mine
White camellia - youâre adorable
White chrysanthemum - truth
White clover - think of me
Yarrow - everlasting love

Boyfriend!Nico Headcanons
these pics are gonna get me everytime, i fear
just some soft nico thoughts floating around in my noggin. enjoy :)
-
- boyfriend!nico coming home from morning skate and tiptoeing into your room, careful not to wake you so he can lay back down and nap with you
- boyfriend!nico waking up about an hour later to an empty bed, huffing because you didnât wake him up, only for you to walk in the room wearing one of his t-shirts carrying two cups of coffee, a grin breaking out on his face
- boyfriend!nico suggesting you both shower together, even though he showered at the rink, simply because he loves when you wash his hair (and so he can use your products so he can smell fruity like you do)
- boyfriend! nico asking girls that approach him when heâs out with the team or on the road where they get various parts of their outfits/jewelry because he canât stop thinking about how good youâd look in them, writing every store down in his notes app so he can take you there the next time you two go shopping
- boyfriend!nico who looks for you in the stands of every home game during warm-ups, needing to know youâre there watching before puck drop because he swears youâre his good luck charm, but also looking for any and every reason to impress you when heâs on the ice
- boyfriend!nico who buys you a custom jersey with his name and number on it, but with small four leaf clovers embroidered on each sleeve so everyone knows youâre his good luck charm, not the teamâs
- boyfriend!nico who enlists jackâs help in surprising you with the golden retriever puppy youâve been begging Nico to agree to adopting, making the poor kid drive three hours one-way to pick up the dog and then sneak the puppy into your shared apartment so Nico can keep you distracted and occupied, wanting to see your face when you open the door and the little furball comes running towards you
- boyfriend!nico who rushes through every post game interview he can because all he wants to do, win or lose, is go home and watch whatever current netflix show youâve roped him into while eating whatever take-out you were in the mood for that night
- boyfriend!nico putting you on speaker in the locker room before games because the team overheard one of the pre-game pep talks you gave him earlier in the season, so now they all like to hear your encouraging words and how well you inspire each and every one of them to play their best (what jack refers to as your mrs. cap duties)
- boyfriend!nico who has to explain to his teammates why he canât bring you along to every event the team has to go to because you have your own job and responsibilities, only for the team to whine and grumble about how nico hogs you and they never get to see you (just for him to facetime you halfway through the event so he can pass his phone around for everyone to say hi a few of them asking you to blink three times if nico was holding you hostage)
- boyfriend!nico who arranges for flowers and various treats to be delivered to your door every. single. day. that heâs gone during the season so you know heâs still thinking about you and he misses you, even if he only leaves for a day or two
- boyfriend!nico who listens to the playlist youâve made for him anytime heâs traveling because he loves hearing whatever new song youâve found that day that reminds you of him
- boyfriend!nico who begs you to take a bath with him because heâs so sore from a nasty hit earlier in the night and wants to just relax with you and your peach smelling bubble bath with one of your vanilla scented candles burning (but heâll never admit he loves your sweet, scented candles)
- boyfriend!nico who will always trade a puck or a stick for anything that a fan brings as a gift for you, heart swelling seeing that the fans love you as much as he does
- boyfriend!nico who always wears a wrist full of friendship bracelets you make for him at warmups so he can trade them with the female fans that bring handmade bracelets for the players, so âthey always feel included and welcomed at the games, despite what the grumpy old men have to say about itâ

Gojos Son that says baby all the time is a complete mamas mom
Iâm assuming you meant mamaâs boy by this? And if so, Iâm gonna agreeâand itâs 100% because of Gojo. When the biggest reference for loving you comes from his father who is throughly obsessed with you, itâs no surprise that your baby is a huge mamaâs boy.
When your son sees Satoru come home and immediately go to hug and kiss you, before picking him up, of course that becomes his reference point for greeting you after getting picked up from daycare. Heâs managed to copy Satoruâs mannerisms down to a Tâor maybe he was just born with themâthe way he sees you and lights up, waddles right to you as fast and he can and starts squishing your face to give you kisses the second heâs in your arms. Even the way he says, âI missed you, baby!â has Satoruâs exact cadence.
Your on rotation babysitters (Megumi, Yuuta, Yuuji, and Kento) always mention that the kid has a knack for talking about you when youâre gone. Megumi always drops him off with multiple drawings and cards for you with lots of hearts and flowers on them; Yuuta jokes about how he was well behaved, just a bit stubborn during lunch because Yuuta didnât âmake the rice like you doâ; Yuuji sends you pictures and videos per request of your son because he wants you to see what theyâre up to; Kento notes how he often shows off his new spelling and growing reading skills by proving to his godfather how well he can spell your name :(
Youâre the first person Satoru leans on, so your the first person your son leans onâphysically and emotionally. You give the best goodnight kisses according to them both, you make the best breakfast, youâre the person either of them would rather hang out with then they donât have work/school. Your kid is absolutely, 100% attached to you, but he learns it from Satoru. Ironically, this also makes them two peas in a pod, theyâre the same person at this point.
Even when Satoru is alone with your little boy, theyâre always talking about you. âWanna find flowers for mommy?â Satoru will ask, ask theyâre walking around the mall. Two stores down, they spot a chocolate stand and Satoru feels an exited squeeze at his hand, looking down to see the three year old all but bouncing, âThose are mommyâs favorite!â They both just adore you so much :(( itâs beyond endearing to have so much love from the two of them :(((
#anonymous#also the kid looks like satoru. like#when we talk about the twins i always think the twins have your features but satoruâs color palette LMFAO#like they Look like you but they also look like him at first glance#but your son who calls everyone baby looks like satoru. carried that boy for 9 months just for him to be his fatherâs twin fr#just. precious. satoru and his baby satoru who also calls you baby. iâll cry#satoru x reader#gojo x reader#satoru.ask

⥠Poly relationship with Yandere Fyodor, Nikolai, and Sigma!! âĄ
If you were the darling of 3 of the 5 members of the Decay of Angels, it would be pretty bad luck for you.
All 3 of them are very possessive of you just like any other yandere. All 3 of them aren't very strict with you, the only rule is that escaping isn't allowed. Fyodor, Nikolai, and Sigma all know that there's no escaping from them with their vast connections and excellent combat skills plus the thousands of people under their command. They're confident that even if you somehow manage to escape, they can easily bring you back. If somehow they still can't find you, they might even pay a visit to Fitzgerald and "borrow" his Eyes of God.
Fyodor is the scariest one out of the trio. Unlike Nikolai, he doesn't necessarily give off a very friendly vibe. Fyodor gives off a don't-piss-me-off-or-you-will-regret-it vibe. It looks like Fyodor is always staring at you and judging you secretly with his challenging and cold gaze.
Fyodor often likes testing you, such as leaving the front door unlocked or even giving you an opportunity to escape. The first time you took the opportunity you were immediately caught and dragged back. Fyodor was dissapointed with you and you certainly didn't want to see him angry.
Fyodor sometimes even flirts with you just to mess with you and to see your reaction. It makes him laugh whenever he sees you blushing or getting nervous.
Fyodor can be pretty sweet with you sometimes and he loves giving you gifts! For your birthday he got you cake and flowers which made you happy. Fyodor glanced in awe at you as you happily ate cake without a care in the world.
Fyodor often calls you his Myshka (little mouse) as a nickname for you. It's only right for him because he's the leader of the Rats of the House of the Dead.
One time you even went with him into the underground base and you saw him typing away with a huge computer setup. Whenever you're at the base, Fyodor wants you to be in the same room. Under different circumstances, he would let you roam around but the underground tunnels were easy to get lost in and he wants to be able to have you at arms length.
This other time you were walking with Fyodor when he was giving out instructions to some of his underlings. You remember when you met some guy named Ivan and he gave off a pretty weird vibe.. you also heard from Pushkin that he was a "total nut case"..
Nikolai is the chillest one out of the trio. He's funny and he shows you tons of magic tricks. You could even fall for him if he wasn't a terrible person plus him being one of your captors.
Nikolai is pretty entertaining and there's never a dull moment with him. You entertain his silly theatrics and he always knows when to make you laugh. Nik's always messing with you by using that stupid coat ability of his. One time, he even grabbed your leg as a joke and he started tickling it. You bursted out laughing both from it being funny but it lowkey creeped you out. Especially with the look he gave you where he grinned really widely and started lifting his eyebrows up and down in a way.
One time, you tried escaping from Nikolai by running into a store and he contacted Fyodor and Sigma letting them know of the instance. Next thing you know, Fyodor and Sigma are laughing their asses off behind a computer screen on the security cameras at the way Nikolai messes with you by having random objects fall on top of you. You're scared shitless when Nikolai decides to drop a random mouse on you..
This other time Nikolai had wanted to show you something during one of his missions that he dragged you along too. Nikolai was recording some video in a meeting room with government officials. You couldn't help but laugh your ass off when Nikolai messed up during the recording session especially since it was live.
"Oh no! An on-air-oopsy! Quick stop the camera, I can't go on any longer!"
You couldn't help but feel bad for the "tiger boy" (as Nikolai referred to him as) when he got hit by a pole as a result of Nikolai's ability..
Sigma is the most lenient one of the trio. For instance, he grants you more freedom than the other trio members and he forgives you a lot more if you make a mistake and you're sincerely sorry about it.
Sigma often has you sit on his lap while he's busy at his desk at the Sky Casino. Whenever Sigma is busy with other things besides paper work, he'll even give you some money and let you roam around the casino.
You have fun playing with the machines and Sigma might even rig one of them to have you win the jackpot. He might even be watching you through the camera and smile at how happy you look when you win.
You're gonna be pretty confused when you see random explosions plus some weird people claiming themselves to be "Hunting Dogs".. especially when you head back to Sigma's office and see a random hole in the wall with Sigma panicking. Who knows what was even going on? Being around the Decay of Angels had its fair share of strange experiences so you weren't surprised when weird things happened in the Sky Casino..
Should you be worried when you spot a pink haired girl who could magically age herself up?..
Hm.
Nah.

Homemade dinner and a bouquet of flowers
Orter MĂĄdl x GN Reader
Gender: Fluff
Warning: Mention of house arrest
This one-short references @dabi-drift ,thank you very much for giving me permission
 Summary: Orter returns home, and halfway through, he ends up receiving a bouquet of flowers from a sweet lady as thanks. Upon arriving, he didn't expect that the human without magic who is under house arrest in his house would make dinner for him
The Desert Cane, Orter MĂĄdl, was walking home with a bouquet of flowers in one of his arms...
 Well, this can be explained
 During a patrol, he ended up saving an elderly woman from a robbery. The lady owned a flower shop and gave Orter this bouquet of flowers as thanks.
 "Thank you very much, young man, for helping me in that situation" the lady says while walking next to Orter
 "I don't need thanks, I did what was necessary and correct for justice" Orter says while accompanying the lady to her home
 Arriving at the residence, which also happened to be the lady's flower shop, she starts going through her bag to find the keys.
 "Don't be like that young man, I want to thank you properly..." the lady says as she manages to find the keys and unlocks the door
 "Come in, I can make you dinner to say thanks" the lady says as she turns to find the very quiet boy
 And see him staring at a certain set of flowers
 âYoung man?â the lady says, breaking Orter out of his thoughts
 "Yes. I'm sorry I wasn't listening..." Orter says he is looking at the lady and adjusting his glasses
 "Ho, no need to apologize" the lady says while placing a hand "However, you seem to like these flowers very much"
 "No, and that was just thinking" Orter lies, he can't tell an unknown lady that these flowers remind him of someone inside his house under house arrest
 "Don't lie, young man, I know when there's something in your thoughts, or rather someone, hehehe~" the lady says as she enters the store and picks up the flowers that Orter was looking at and starts making a bouquet
 "Here" Orter says as he gives the lady the exact amount of money to pay for the bouquet
 "Oh, no need, that's a thank you, since if you take too long, maybe your loved one might get worried. Now go home" the lady says while returning the money and handing over the bouquet
Without letting Desert Cane refute it, the lady had already kicked him out of her flower shop, leaving him outside with a bouquet.
 Remembering the previous event, Orter continued walking home
 When you arrive at the door of your residence, Orter takes the utmost care not to damage the flowers, takes your keys and unlocks the door.
 Upon opening the door, Orter is faced with an unforgettable scene.
 A person without magic called (Name) (Surname) with a yellow apron is preparing the dinner table facing The Desert Cane Orter Mådl
 "...What are you doing?" Orter says while walking towards (Name)
 "Can't you see? I'm preparing the table" (Name) says as they places a plate of salad on the table
 Orter just looked at them , wanting to know why they were preparing the table.
 Noticing Orter's look, (Name) says, "Mister Ryoh called me asking if everything was ok, since you seemed grumpier than usual, so as a way to improve your mood, I decided to make dinner" (Name) says while cleaning your hands on your apron and completely turning your body to face him, until they notice the bouquet "Why do you have a bouquet of flowers?"
 "I helped a lady along the way, and as a 'Thank You' she gave me the bouquet," Orter says as he hands the bouquet to (Name) who happily accepts
 "Surprising, and these are my favorites" (Name) says as they go towards the kitchen and put the flowers in a glass of water
'I know' was what Orter would say but would never admit
 (Name) returns to the living room now with the bouquet in a vase and places it in the center of the dining table
 "There! Now it's perfect" (Name) says with a childish glow
 'Cute' Orter think
 "Now try it" (Name) says while pushing Orter to sit on one of the chairs
 Orter sat down and then waited for (Name) to sit down too so they could have dinner together.
 "It's not poisoned" (Name) says randomly as they wait for him to put some food on her plate
 "...Why did you just say that?" Orter says while looking at them with the same dull expression.
 "You're kind of staring at the food and stuff... and I thought you thought it was poisoned..."
 "It is impossible to be poisoned; there is no item that could be used to cause poisoning, given the fact that you are prohibited from leaving this house, and even if there were, I would be able to use a healing spell"
 "Then why don't you eat the dinner I made?"
 "..." Orter continues to stare at (Name) hoping they get the hint
 "If you don't want to and just talk, I can -"
 "I'm waiting for you to sit down so we can eat," Orter deciding to put some of his pride aside and finally deciding to say what was on his mind
 "Oh, right!!" (Name) finally gets the hint to sit in front of Orter
 "Have dinner~" (Name) says, clapping their hands and starting to pick up the food
 "... Have dinner." Orter repeats the same words and also starts to pick up the food
 As he put the first bite of dinner into his mouth, Orter couldn't lie, the dinner was delicious.
 "It's good" Orter says as he continues to eat
 "Heh~ I know that, and besides, I was the amazing (Name) (Last name) who did it!" (Name) says proudly
 "Hm..." Orter wouldn't say, but he wouldn't mind coming home early just to have dinner with (Name)
 And that night, Orter understood the concept of a pleasant dinner
BONUS:
 "Here!" (Name) exclaimed, holding a lunch box in front of Orter who was ready to leave
 "...What?" Orter speaks while facing (Name) and then facing the lunch box
 "I made a lot of food while making dinner, so I decided to leave half of it for your lunch, so you're not grumpier than usual and leave your employees alone" (Name) speaks without a hint of fear of being killed by Orter
 "Sigh, ok" Orter says as he accepts the lunch that (Name) made for him
 "Hehe~ have a good job, Orter!" (Name) says when they sees Orter leaving the front door to work
 Orter Mådl would never admit it, but his favorite food is food made by (Name)

Hey babe itâs me, I know Iâm the greatestđ but letâs get to the point. What if we got a one shot of Melissa thinking about popping the question đto reader and she talks to Barbara about it and she looks back on all the time she spent with El and reader and ultimately decides to do so.â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Im a sucker for happy endings bro â¨â¨
Love Thy Neighbor, Two Families Become One- pt 2
PART 1
WC: ~3.15k
That night, Melissa dreams of a life where you are officially her wife and Ellie is officially her daughter. That dream that shifts into a sort of hellish nightmare where both Gary and Jared are there, and sheâs doing everything that she can do to protect you. And then it flickers into a dream where you arenât around anymore, and because Ellie isnât officially her daughter in the eyes of the law, she ends up back with Jared.Â
That dream is terrifying enough for her to wake up breathing deeply and making sure that you were still breathing before going to silently check on Ellie in her room. The redhead lets out a sigh of relief when she confirms that it was indeed just her imagination running wild.
When the two of you wake up for the day, sheâs a bit more lovey than she usually is. Her hands donât leave your body, whether that just be holding your hand or a hand settled on your hip and squeezing lightly. There are more kisses pressed to your head than a normal day. When she and Ellie come back from the grocery store while you stayed home to clean, they both come home with flowers for you. While you arenât complaining, you are a bit curious as to why sheâs being so romantic today.
âIs it my birthday and I forgot?â you ask as you hold both bouquets of flowers.
âNo, youâre so silly Momma,â your little girl giggles from next to your girlfriend.
Melissaâs lips are on your own softly. âWe just thought Momma should know how much we love her.â
âWell, thank you,â you smile against her. Then you lift your daughter onto your hip and pepper her face is kisses while she squeals happily. âI love you both too.â
As youâre getting ready for bed that night, Melissa texts her work wife.
We gotta talk tomorrow morning.
About? Barbara texts back almost instantly.
Youâre still awake?
Well, I was falling asleepâŚ
Sorry. Weâll chat tomorrow?
Iâll ask again⌠about?
Y/N, Ellie, and me.
Oh lord, what did you do Melissa?
Nothin. Just⌠please?
Meet me in my room tomorrow morning after youâve stopped for coffee.
When the two of you head in for work on Monday, Nonnaâs words still havenât left Melissaâs mind. The three of you walk into the school hand in hand, Ellieâs backpack slung over your girlfriendâs shoulder.
âLittle girl, you have to hang with your momma this morning,â the redhead tells your daughter. âMom has a meeting.â
âYou do?â you furrow a brow. âOn a Monday morning?â
âWith Barb,â she tells you. âTo talk about insurance and how all of that stuff is changing.â
âAuntie Barb?!â Ellie asks excitedly. âCan I at least come say hi and give her a hug?â
Melissa almost says no, but those puppy dog eyes are strong and she relents. âBut very quickly.â
âWait, insurance is going to be changing?â
âThereâs a possibility,â she tells you, although you donât know that sheâs referring to the fact that it might change because sheâs contemplating asking you to marry her.
âShould I sit in on this meeting?â you ask her, concerned.
She shakes her head. âYou just worry about El, and Iâll fill you in later.â
âOkay,â you sigh as you drop your things in your room. âWhere are you meeting her?â
âJust her classroom after we get our coffees,â Melissa says.
After youâve gotten your coffees, the three of you head down to the kindergarten wing. Ellie, of course, sprints ahead yelling Barbâs name as she goes.
âAuntie Barb!â Ellie is giggling and clinging to your girlfriendâs best friend by the time you both catch up with her.
âBaby girl, not that Iâm not happy to see you, but where are your mothers?â
âHey,â you chuckle from the doorframe. âSorry to crash your meeting, but Ellie wanted to run in and say hi.â
âWell she knows Auntie Barb is always here to say hello to and give a snuggle,â Barbara chuckles as she releases your daughter.
âAlright, El,â Melissa looks at your daughter. âYou got to say hi to Auntie Barb, now I gotta talk with her.â
âCanât I stay?â
âI think youâll have more fun with Momma coloring in her room,â your girlfriend says.
Ellie contemplates this for a moment before nodding. She runs to the redhead and hugs her tightly before taking your hand and pulling you off down the hall.
Your girlfriend watches the two of you make your way down the hall before she closes the door to the kindergarten room.Â
âWell?â Barbara looks to her work wife curiously. âWhat on Earth could you have done that would require us to talk without Y/N and Ellie here?â
âI took them to meet my mom and Nonna,â Melissa states. âAnd Nonna told them that they were family and that Ellie was an honorary Schemmenti.â
âThatâs great news,â the kindergarten teacher states.
âAnd now, Iâm thinking about asking them to become official Schemmentis.â
Barbara gives your girlfriend a look in shock. âOh.â
âYeah.â
âI thought that you didnât want to get married again though, and Y/N seems perfectly content with that,â the woman says softly.
âI said that it would take a freaking miracle,â Melissa says. âAnd they⌠they are that miracle.â
âThatâs great though, Melissa,â Barbara tells the redhead. âWhy did we need to talk about this?â
âBecause⌠I need you to tell me that Iâm not insane for thinking this and throwing caution to the wind again for her,â the second grade teacher says quietly. âI- I never thought that I would consider getting married again.â
âWell, why are you?â Barb asks.
Your girlfriend folds her arms over her chest as she perches herself on one of the tables. âBecause I love those two more than Iâve ever loved anyone⌠Nonna and my mother adore them, called them family and honorary Schemmentis. And then, that night I had a couple dreams about them.â
âWhat were they?â the kindergarten teacher inquires.
Melissa sighs softly. âI had a couple⌠one where Y/N was my wife and Ellie was my daughter, another where Jared came back and I couldnât protect Y/N, and then⌠the last one was⌠something happened to Y/N, and because I wasnât legally Ellieâs mother, she went back to Jared kicking and screaming.â
âOh,â Barbara sighs quietly.
âThat one had me so shaken that I checked that Y/N was still breathing and that Ellie was asleep in bed.â
âThat makes sense, Melissa,â the kindergarten teacher says.
âWell? What do you have to say about this?âYour girlfriend asks.
âI think the answer is right in front of you, and you would be a fool to not follow your heart,â Barb states. âY/N has been nothing but wonderful for you, Ellie already calls you her mother⌠you have already laid down the foundation for a beautiful marriage.â
âWhat if itâs too soon though?â
âWhen you know, you know,â Barbara says smugly. âThink about it.â
âThanks,â Melissa smiles. She heads out after that, knowing that the kiddos will be coming in any second.
When lunch time comes around, Melissa makes her way into the staff room and has your meal out and ready for you when you get there. You sigh as you settle yourself in your chair and lean your shoulder on her head.
âThank you,â you whisper.
She presses a kiss to your temple with a soft chuckle. âHappy Monday?â she offers.
âItâs Monday, thatâs for sure⌠Roman started off the day spilling my coffee all over the floor and shattering my mug, so Iâm exhausted.â
âWell, I can fix that,â your girlfriend laughs quietly as she stands from her place and heads for the coffee machine. She pulls another mug from the cabinet, and while the coffee is brewing, her eyes linger on you.
Youâre half asleep as you bring your lunch to your mouth, but she canât help but think that you are the most beautiful woman in the world. She gets so distracted just looking at you that she doesnât notice the coffee is ready.
âBabe, stop staring at me,â you tell her.
She shakes herself out of her trance. âSorry. Youâre just⌠wow.â
âI donât have any makeup on, and Iâm in your old Eagles sweatshirt,â you roll your eyes. âI probably have bags under my eyes actually.â
She hums as she brings you the new cup of coffee, leaning down and kissing your cheek. âYouâre stunning, and I wonât hear anything else.â
That day after school, the two of you take Ellie to the park like you do on any day that allows for the little bundle of energy to run around and tire herself out. You find Melissa watching Ellie with a sparkle in her eye, not that that isnât uncommon, but thereâs something different about the way sheâs watching her today.
âWhatâs got you lookinâ at her like that today?â you ask as you squeeze her hand.
Melissa smiles fondly. âJust⌠thinking about how much that little girl has grown and changed, and how sheâs changed my life for the better.â
âWeâve been through a lot,â you smile softly.
Ellie is put to bed, and for once, youâre not entirely exhausted. So, you prepare for bed before heading out into the living room with two glasses of wine. Melissa is in her spot, glasses on the tip of her nose and looking at her phone with a soft smile.
âWhat are you looking at?â you ask as you sit next to her.
âThe album I have of you and El,â she tells you as she wraps her arm around you and pulls you practically in her laugh.
Thereâs a picture of Ellieâs seventh birthday up. Ellieâs eyes are wide and filled with so much love for your girlfriend as she grins at the camera, holding up the toy that your little girl had so desperately wanted but you couldnât afford.
âI canât believe you spoiled her as much as you did that day,â you roll your eyes.
She shrugs. âHave you ever seen the kid so happy though? It was worth it.â
You swipe over, and there are about a million pictures and videos of your daughter at the park running around with the sweetest smile on her face.
âThis oneâs my favorite,â Melissa sighs with content as she lands on a selfie of the three of you. Ellie was in her favorite lavender shirt, Melissa was wearing that salmon colored shirt you adore, and you were in your overalls looking exhausted but filled with so much joy.
âI look like a mess,â you roll your eyes.
âDo you remember that day?â
âYeah,â you chuckle. âThat was while we were moving in and I was at the end of my rope.â
âMomma! Please!â Ellie had pleaded with you, but you were in no mood to go out into the world after an afternoon of lugging all of your things across the hall or down to the storage unit a block over. âPlease! I just want to go to the park!â
âElizabeth,â you sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose with your thumb and forefinger. âI already said no.â
âBut please! I just want to play with you!â
âElizabeth, you are on thin ice,â you warned, but she didnât relent, and that finally got you to blow over. âElizabeth Ruth! To your room, now!â
Your little girl, never used to being reprimanded, immediately burst into tears. And something inside of you broke too. Melissa came out from where she was rearranging her closet to make room for your things at the sound.
âWhat- whatâs happening?â she asked as she lifted Ellie onto her hip and guided you to the couch.
âMomma- Momma yelled at me!â Ellie wailed into your girlfriendâs shoulder.
âI- I didnât mean to!â you had cried right back into her other shoulder. âI- This has all been so hard, and Iâm exhausted, and I just donât have the energy to take her down to the park today!â
Melissa blew out a breath. This was all over going to the park?
âMomma telled me to go to my room, but I donât even have a room yet!â your daughter whimpered.
âIâm sorry, El,â you apologized. âIâm sorry I lost my temper on you⌠that was not okay.â
âItâs okay, Momma,â your little girl forgave you quickly as she sniffled the last of her tears away.
âWhy donât we do this,â Melissa started. âIâll take El down to the park and play with her while you get a nap in?â
âN-no,â Ellie shook her head into the redheadâs neck. âMomma said no.â
âGo,â you whispered. âTake her, have fun, and Iâll be in a better mood when you come back.â
âR-really?â your little girl peered at you from her place in Melissaâs lap. You nod, but your daughter doesnât make any moves towards the door.
Eventually, with lots of promises that it really was okay, Ellie went with your girlfriend out the door and towards the park.Â
You relaxed into the cushions of the couch, but you felt absolutely terrible for snapping at your child. So, about ten minutes after they leave, you too headed down to the park.
You stopped at the coffee shop down the street from your house, and you grabbed your girlfriendâs favorite, your drink, and a lemonade for your little girl. You found them almost as soon as you entered the gated area of the playground, and Ellie was giggling with glee as Melissa pushed her on the swing. Your daughterâs eyes lit up at the sight of you.
âMomma!â Ellie squeaked as she pointed at you.
Melissa turned in your direction, slightly confused. âBabe?â
âI thought I should come down,â you told them. âIâve been so high strung lately, and I figured maybe I should just come down and spend a nice afternoon with my girls.â
âReally?â Ellie squealed as she continued to swing.
You nod and take a seat on the playground equipment next to her. You started to pump your legs, and soon you were in sync with your daughter. Melissa just chuckled as she continues to push Ellie.
âMomma! you never swing with me!â
âThatâs because Iâm always the one pushing you while Mel takes videos,â you laughed. And when you looked over, Melissa was indeed filming you both swinging.
It was a bit before you got off the swing, and the three of you ended up finding a nice little patch of grass that you could settle on. Ellie sipped on her lemonade while you drank your coffee. Melissa pecked your cheek before pulling out her phone and holding it out in front of her. She snapped a picture of the three of you, cheeks kissed with the sun and high on life.
âThat was a good day,â she smiles softly. âIt was so nice seeing you just be free for a little bit.â
âWe should do that again soon,â you tell her quietly as you sip on the wine in your glass.
The two of you go through her pictures, reminiscing on all of the good times.Â
âDo you remember this one?â she asks you as she shows you a picture of you and Ellie dozing on the couch.
âOh god,â you groan. âI was exhausted that day.â
You donât know what hit you, but the kids wore you down that day. And after school, you collapsed onto the couch and pretty much refused to move. Melissa started on dinner for that night while Ellie curled up in your lap and started to drift off too.
You only woke up when your girlfriend snapped a picture of you, trying to be sneaky.
âDammit,â she mumbled as the shutter sound rang out from her phone.
âDid you just take a picture of us?â you asked as you blinked awake.Â
She shrugs. âYou guys are just so cute. I canât help it.â
Eventually, the two of you head into your bedroom, and you fall asleep against your girlfriend rather quickly. But sleep doesnât come easily for Melissa. Sheâs reminiscing on the time that sheâs spent with you. All of the good, the bad, and the ugly. She remembers the first time she told you that she loved you.
The two of you had a night to yourselves, your parents offering to watch Ellie so you could spend some quality time together.
âThis was really nice,â you smiled at her as she drives through the city to pick up Ellie.
She nodded and brought your hand to her lips. âItâs always a nice time with you⌠I love spending time with you.â
âI do too,â you whispered as you leaned over the middle console to kiss her cheek.
She pulled up to a stop light and turned her head to kiss you gently.Â
âHoney, why are you stopping? You never stop,â you ask.
âBecause I want to look at you when I tell you, I would even say⌠that I love you.â
Your eyes went wide. âWhat?â
âI love you,â she said again, just as softly and just as genuine as the first time.
You couldnât help but kiss her again. âI love you too,â you mumbled against her lips.Â
She remembers the first time the two of you had made love. You were beyond nervous, claiming that you were in no shape to be seen naked after having Ellie- that itâs been too long since youâve been with someone knew- your only body was Jared. She didnât care- she worshipped you that night.
She remembers the night that she met you. She can still see her first glance at the two of you in her mind. You looked beyond stressed, Ellie was in meltdown mode, and yet she somehow still knew that the two of you would become two of the most significant people in her life.
She remembers all of the good, and all of the bad. How you get giddy at the sight of her. How her heart broke for you when you would cry over your failed marriage. The way that you celebrated the case against Jared. That time that you had your doubts in the relationship and tried to run away, only to come falling into her arms that night telling her that you were terrified of giving someone your heart again, only for it to be shattered- she promised you that she would never, ever do that to you.Â
She reminisces about it all, and by the time that sleep takes her sheâs decided that she is indeed going to ask you to marry her⌠so long as Ellie is okay with it. You, and your little girl, are worth everything to her.

Nagi Birthday(2024) SSR Story
Best Wishes Snap
Happy Happy Day! (1st part)
The Yellow and white marker is Toi, Red is Ryui, Beige over black is Yodaka, Neon Pink is Netaro, and the All-black is (probably?) oshisha-sama (iykyk)
Messages Toi: Happy Birthday Nagi-kun! We love you đ Ryui: Happy B Day, show some energy. đ Netaro: Birthday Boy đđđ Yodaka: All happiness on your birthday ⨠Oshisha: My pet âĄď¸ Fun fact the rat ears doodled on Nagi is in reference to his radio persona named 'Nure Nezumi' meaning Drowned Rat!
Nagi: Haa.....
Boy: Mama, that man on the swing set has been staring at the ground for so long now.
Mother of the boy: It's not good to stare, we should leave him alone.
Nagi: I couldn't tell anyone it was my birthday today in the end.
Nagi: The "Random Present System"... I wonder if I was counted in it too.
Nagi: I'm sure the person who was selected to gift me a present has been decided, but no one actually knows it's my birthday today.... Besides, it must have been a hassle to get me something when the system was only just implemented....
Nagi: ...... Well, I guess it's fine even if my birthday isn't celebrated.
Nagi: Sonia sent me off with a smile and told me to enjoy the party, so I can't just go back to the shop now. I'll just return to Hama House, take a nice hot bath and sleep.
Nagi: I'm ba...ck?
Ryui: Finally! Where the hell were you off to all this time? You're late!
Nagi: Huh? Um, I'm... sorry?
Momiji: Welcome back, Nagi-kun.
Yodaka: We were just about to set off to find you.
Yodaka: It wouldn't do for the birthday boy to be absent for his own party, now would it?
Nagi: But I thought no one knew my birthday...
Netaro: What a silly goose you are Gii~ Surely you must remember the fact that you had to note down your birthday on your profile.
Momiji: It was in the company's documents too.
Nagi: Ah... you're right.
Toi: Ushio-kun prepared the cake -"Blooming Happiness â Full Bloom Flower Cake"! The flowers on top of the icing are all edible, isn't that amazing?
Nagi: Not just that, the entire table is packed with all kinds of food...
Nagi: You prepared all this... for me...?
Momiji: Nagi-kun, I've prepared a ton of vases so I can receive as many flowers as you want to give me later, so enjoy tonight as much as you want!
Nagi: ....!!
Everyone at Hama Tours: Happy Birthday!!
Renga: As fellow team leaders... let's do our best to get along and hype up HAMA.
Renga: This pink rose is my birthday gift for you.
Renga: It's thanks to your advice that my roses grew so beautifully, so you can have this one.
Nagi: ....hic.....
Renga: ...Wait, huh!? Are you crying!?
Ten: Ah... look at those tears. Renga-san, how could you do that to him....
Renga: Is this my fault!?
Renga: It's not like it's something specia- I mean, I did put a lot of thought into it, but!
Renga: O-Oi, stop crying already...!
Nagi: ....hic, I've never seen such a beautiful rose before. It's the most beautiful one in the world, no, in this entire galaxy!
Renga: I-Is that so...!
Muneuji: Hachinoya-san, please accept this watering can from me. I hope you can make use of it at your store. I wish for 'Flower Laundry' to continue to flourish and prosper.
Nagi: I-I promise to make my store one that everyone loves for the next 1000 years.
Liguang: ... He keeps crying every time someone greets him.
Ryui: He's a pain...
Nagi: Liguang-san, and Ryui... Even the two of you prepared a present for me?
Liguang: That's right. Grease and cloth included, I've prepared a maintenance tool set that you can use on your beloved bike.
Nagi: Thank you very much....
Ryui: This is a little something to ward of bad luck.
Nagi: Band-aids? It's even got a nice design...
Ryui: It's because you keep getting hurt all the time and getting Toi all worried. And stop bawling so much it's gross.
Nagi: ... Thank you for getting someone like me a gift. It's the first time my birthday's been celebrated like this...
Chihiro: Oh em gee, isn't Nagipeko crying a lil too much tho? You'll shrivel up at this rate!
Nagi: It'll be ok if I drink water right after letting it out.
Raito: Haha, guess I should prepare a pitcher for you in that case.
Nagi: I would really appreciate that.
Nagi: I want to give back all this gratitude I'm feeling. So that all of you can smile just like I am-
Nagi: I'll do a stand-up comedy right now.
Momiji: Eh, all of a sudden?
Tao: That's not what I was expecting from that speech!
Nagi: Even if you feel like cringing, please don't look away. I'd like you to accept my honest feelings of gratitude.
Momiji: Huh, wait, Nagi-kun...!
Nagi: Presenting my short skit, "How I surprised myself on my own Birthday."

What about Jaime liking someone who works at/owns a flower shop so he keeps making excuses to come in and get flowers? Richmond is real confused about why heâs giving away so many bouquets all of the sudden
(Ps I love love love your work! Iâve got it so I get an alert whenever you post because of how much I love it!)
this one turned out SO CUTE I hope you like it!
wishing on every one
You know youâre fucked as soon as he walks through the door of your shop.Â
Then he tells you heâs looking for flowers for his mum whoâs visiting him for the first time, and you know youâre extra fucked.Â
Heâs absolutely gorgeous, especially in the soft light streaming through your flower shop windows, framed by the vibrant hues of the plants lining the shelves.
Then he says, âIâm Jamie,â peers at your name tag, and tells you that you have a lovely name. Youâre blushing the entire time you lead him around the shop, answering each one of his questions as best you can without stuttering. He cracks jokes, picks out a nice bunch, and leaves you one flower for yourself on his way out.Â
And then, the next week, he comes back.Â
Jamie Tartt, AFC Richmondâs star footballer, comes back to your shop and flirts with you again.Â
Of course you know who he his, you knew the moment he stepped through the door. You live in Richmond after all, and you agree with the great Dani Rojas that here, football is life. Itâs just hard to believe that your favorite footballer is back in your tiny little store and maybe sort of kinda definitely flirting with you.
You donât let it get to your head (much). Itâs Jamie Tartt, youâve seen him on Lust Conquers All. To him, flirting is like breathing. You also donât tell anyone, although you feel like youâre bursting inside. Your flat mate notes that youâre smiling more and that you always seem to be humming, and could you please maybe be careful when youâre skipping around because she just mopped the floor and doesnât want you to slip.Â
But Jamie Tartt keeps coming back; first once a week, then twice, then about every other day. He follows you around as you help him choose flowers for all kinds of occasions, and then heâa gone again, leaving you to wonder which time will be the last.Â
â
At Nelson Road, things are in chaos.Â
Ok, maybe chaos is too strong a word. Things are⌠out of the ordinary.Â
Well, but things have been out of the ordinary ever since Ted Lasso showed up.Â
Things are⌠weird. Yeah, thatâs a good word. Theyâre weird. And âthey,â refers to Jamie.Â
It starts off simple enough. It's Samâs birthday, so Jamie shows up with some flowers. He heard Sam say they were his favorites, so it makes sense that heâd bring them. No one notices anything.Â
The next week, heâs brought some for Ms. Welton.Â
âItâs for all the shit you do that we donât know about,â he explains. âDidnât want you to think we didnât notice.â
Rebecca doesnât comment on the double negative, just smiles and says, âThank you, Jamie,â as Keeley sits forward on the couch in a slight state of shock. The Jamie she was with had never done something like that for her romantically, and here he is doing it platonically. Holy shit, he really has changed.Â
Rebecca also doesnât take the flowers to mean something they donât. She knows that the team looks to her with the same respect they would afford an older sister or even a mother (although she is not old enough). Strangely, she doesnât mind. It makes her feel loved in a way sheâs unused to, and the flowers from Jamie hang upside down on her wall so they can be immortalized.Â
Barely a week after that, heâs gotten some for Keeley. âItâs to make up for the ones I never got you,â he tells her. Theyâre all bright pink with fluffy petals. Keeley wraps her arms around Jamie with a squeal of delight. Roy grunts angrily, so Jamie pulls out a bunch of dark red and black flowers. âDidnât leave you out, grandad,â he grins as Roy pretends to hate the bouquet. But even he isnât cold-hearted enough to hate flowers.
Suddenly, people are getting flowers every other day. Itâs become Jamieâs thing. Ted gets some sunflowers when he seems like heâs missing home a little extra. Will gets a bunch of sweet-smelling flowers that Jamie doesnât know the name of, but he knows that purple oneâs lavender because he remembers how you told him it reminded you of growing up. Dani gets a bundle of tulips and it almost makes him pass out from excitement, but luckily Isaac is there to catch him.Â
Dani is firmly seated on the bench in the locker room and Jan Maas has removed all tulips except one, and now Isaac has the chance to turn to Jamie and ask the question thatâs on everyoneâs mind.Â
âWhat gives, bruv?â
Those three words make Jamie turn bright red, but he shrugs it off with a laugh.Â
âWhat, canât get me best mates flowers?â
âIt is a little better than the PS5s,â Richard says. Thereâs a chorus of agreement, much to the surprise of Coach Beard.Â
Jamie thinks heâs in the clear and his face isnât red anymore but then Dani says, âJamie Tartt, why did you decide to give us flowers and not some other expensive gaming device?â and Jamie knows heâs completely and utterly fucked. He did not think this far. He has no excuse, no lie, so what comes out of his mouth is, âThe flower shop girlâs fit,â and then the locker room completely descends into chaos.Â
The boys are firing questions at Jamie faster than he can even understand them, and Tedâs just laughing at the pure pandemonium. He remembers similar moments when coaching other football teams, American ones, and the good feeling that comes along with âboys being boys,â in the way the phrase was originally intended.Â
All pertinent information is successfully extracted from Jamie before the team heads home, except your name and which flower shop it is. Colin says thatâs the most important bit, but Jamie refuses to tell them more than the fact that your laugh makes the sun shine brighter. Isaac nods thoughtfully and Roy shakes his head, but itâs with a fondness he reserves only for his team.Â
It could be any shop, really. There are conversations across the parking lot of the best way to figure out which one it is and Jamieâs getting nervous when he hears Tedâs voice call his name.
He turns, and Ted hurries over to where Jamieâs car is parked.Â
He carefully places a hand on Jamieâs shoulder (softly, unlike the crushing grip of his father) and looks Jamie straight in the eye.Â
âJamie, lifeâs too short to beat around the bush. You like her. I think it would be best if you rose to the occasion and just asked her out. I be-leaf in you, son. You just gotta get clover it and do what you gotta do.â
Jamie doesnât pick on the flower puns until about the third one. Heâs laughing a little bit and Ted is too, all while regarding Jamie with a soft look that Jamie always wished his father would give him. Ted pulls Jamie in for a hug and says, âIn all seriousness man, weâre rooting for you.âÂ
Jamie gives him a look, which makes Ted hold up his hands in defense. âAlright, alright, Iâm done,â he says. âFor now.â Then he winks and headed to meet Coach Beard.Â
â
Itâs the middle of the afternoon when the bell on your door jingles, and you look up from the register hoping to see Jamie.Â
Instead, you see a middle-aged man with a mustache smiling at you.Â
He says, âHowdy,â in a way that is so very American, that you canât help but break into a wide smile.Â
âHi!â you reply, âHow can I help you?â
âMy nameâs Ted Lasso,â he says walking toward you. âI coach football here in Richmond.â
Youâre still grinning. âI know who you are, Coach Lasso. Iâm a big Richmond supporter. Have been since I was a kid.â
âJust Ted is fine,â says Just Ted. âI usually donât like to introduce myself along with my job title because it makes me seem all uppity, but I thought it might make more sense if I did.â
You scrunch your nose in confusion so Ted says, âYou were expecting to see Jamie today, is that right?â
You nod. Shit. Shit, shit, shit. Jamieâs coach is in your flower shop and he knows that you like him and heâs probably going to tell you you can never see Jamie again because thatâs the only logical reason heâs here, right? Maybe Jamieâs been skipping practice to be here with you and that all has to end now because football is life and you of all people should know that. Shit.Â
Ted must be able to see the panic on your face because he shakes his head and says, âDonât worry darlinâ, it ainât anything bad. Iâm only here to let you know that boyâs got it down bad for you.â
Wait, what?
âOh,â you reply.Â
âYeah, oh,â Ted chuckles. âWhyâd you think he was here all the time?â
âI- I donât know,â you say. âHe flirts with everyone. Iâm nothing extra special.â
Ted shakes his head again. âThereâs where youâre wrong. Youâre somethinâ extra special. Did you know I found you based on the way Jamie talked about you alone? He didnât even give your name, but Iâve been in here once or twice myself and I must say, he was right when he said the sun shines a little brighter when you smile. I figured it had to be you the moment he said that.â
Youâre smiling again. Jamie said that about you? To his coach?
Tedâs talking again. âListen,â he says, a little more serious, âJamieâs like a son to me. And sometimes dads need to give their sons a little push so they can get rid of their training wheels and just go for it, you know what I mean?âÂ
Youâre at a loss but Ted just grins. âI got here exactly three minutes before the boys take a break for lunch, which means that Jamie should be in here-â the bell at the door jingles â-right about now.â
âCoach?â Jamie asks, looking very adorable and very confused. âWhatâre you doing here?â
Ted shrugs. âSometimes dads gotta take things into their own hands. Give you a little extra boost, as it were. Figured youâd be in here forever before you got the guts to make a move and by then Nelson Road would be completely overrun by flowers. Not that thatâs a bad thing,â he says with a glance to you. âAnyway. Iâll be on my merry little way. Beardâs saving me a seat at our favorite lunch spot.â
Ted waves a two finger goodbye and pats Jamie on the shoulder as he heads out the door, bell ringing behind him.Â
âSo,â you say, making your way around the counter over to Jamie.Â
âSoâŚâ he replies, looking down at you.Â
You take his hand. âHeard from a reliable source that you have a crush on me.â
Jamie grins. âAinât a crush babe, Iâm a grown lad. Think itâs somethinâ a little more real.â
âUh huh,â you say, smiling back at him. âWell it just so happens that I also have a crush on you as well as a thirty-minute lunch break that starts right about nowâŚâ

â§.* cold hands
â summary : frozen yogurt dates with peter
â pairings : tasm!peter parker x gn!reader
â word count : 0,6k
â warnings : fluff, pet names, the normal cheesy first dates, peter and reader being awkward and cute, holding hands, messy plot, not proofread, lmk if i missed any !!
a/n : more fluffy peter blurbs because i may or may not have an angsty idea for him soon wink wink ;) this blurb is so random but i've been craving frozen yogurt so i thought this would be cute.
you grab onto your leather jacket as you see peter from across the street right next to the frozen yogurt store.
"hi." you smiled.
peter's eyes immediately lit up as he saw your smile, "hey." he smiled back.
"you look pretty nice." he says, fumbling his words â "wait- not pretty nice i mean you do i-" he pauses sighing as he couldn't find the right words, "you look pretty, and nice. really pretty and really nice."
the skies turn pink as your face does the same. "you look really pretty and nice too." you nodded.
"oh! these are for you bye the way." peter pulled a flower bouquet from his bag, a bit crumbled. "aw they're lovely." you commented as a petal fell, "they were nice."
"i'd say they held up pretty well, you got my favorite colors there too." you added.
"i'll get you new ones, that don't have missing petals on each flower." peter smiles, putting the flower back in his bag.
"well, let's get some frozen yogurt now." you say, gesturing towards the store.
peter bought you some frozen yogurt and you two talked for a while, walking towards a park as the sun begins to set.
you got to know eachother, his interests, your interests, favorite colors, food, music taste, and much much more.
you've always admired peter from afar in your class. he always stood out to you, his sarcastic humor, his well written character, the way his hair is always so perfect everyday.
he's always nice too, standing up for you that one time flash made a comment about your art studies.
but you've always just seen him as a small crush, too afraid to make any moves. until you found a note from peter in your locker, asking if you wanna hang out sometime.
you've worked with him in projects before, but you've never had an actual conversation and interaction with him.
you're nervous yes, but peter is just that type of person that you could easily talk to, like talking to an old friend you haven't seen in a while.
"you wanna try it? it's really good!" you offered, "no it's fine you go enjoy it." he nodded still smiling at you.
"it's really good, pete," â "really, try it!" you offered again as he accepts it.
"see?" you look at peter as he furrows his brows. "not a fan?" you pout.
"sour." peter states, "it's yogurt peter, say it with me, yo-gurt." you smiled.
"i mean if you like it i can learn to like it too." he shrugs his shoulder.
you smile at his sentence as you arrive at the park with peter.
you finish your frozen yogurt, sitting next to peter at the bench, getting the best view of the sunset.
you rub your hands on your jacket, warming up your hands from the cold treat you just had.
"you cold?" peter asked, "oh, no, just my hands." you reply as he looked down on your hands before gently holding it.
he looked every where else other than you, avoiding the awkwardness of eye contact.
"that is literally so cheesy." you smile, holding his hand back. "cheesy?" he laughs â "it's sweet, but cheesy." you stated.
you continued your afternoon walking around the busy streets of new york before peter walks you back home.
"tonight was really nice y/n." â "i had an amazing time with you, really." continued, "it was really nice spending time with you peter, i really enjoyed it." you wave.
"i'll see you tomorrow?" he says, referring to school. "mhm, bye pete." you wave goodbye as he skipped away.

âGirls Night 2 pt 2â
Kent: dude! Eugene, this honey butter is so good!
Eugene: thank you! Itâs my mom Janetâs recipe
Wednesday: I asked your mom Sue for the recipe to the honey glaze for the chicken wings
Eugene: I thought that was mom Sueâs recipe-chuckling- I loved the brown sugar bbq rub ones. Whose recipe was that?
Bianca: that was mine! Itâs not quite but based on what I can remember my father making. Iâm glad you liked it, Eugene. He had some spices in it that as a kid I had no idea what he put in. Iâm still trying to figure it out
Yoko: I do hope you figure it out.
Bianca: yeah. Itâs one of the things I remember most about my father. I used to help him. He had names for them like âHenryâs Homer mixâ Gordonâs Flash sauceâ so I have no idea
Kent: you canât find Henry or Gordon?
Bianca: I figured out Henry was a reference to Hank Aaron a baseball player thus âhomerâ And Gordon is Flash Gordon
Wednesday: you should come over and talk to my father, Grandmama and Lurch. Describe what you remember them smelling and tasting like and they might be of some help in figuring them out
There was a knock on the door. Enid opened it. It was Principal Thropp
Principal Thropp: hello. How is everything going? I managed to smell some of what you were cooking earlier this evening
Divina pointed out the table with the food
Divina: help yourself to whatâs left.
Principal Thropp: quite a selection.
Wednesday: Korean barbecue wings, Honey glazed wings, brown sugar barbecue wings, Plain light salted wings. And Lemon pepper rub, Tajin pineapple sauce and honey mustard. Honey butter for the cornbread. The honey is from the Nevermore hives
Principal Thropp: oh really? Nevermore honey? I have never cared for honey. Is there a difference?
Eugene: yes actually! Store bought honey is usually clover honey or not actually honey at all! The flowers that the bees draw nectar from creates a different taste to the honey
Principal Thropp: I did not know that - she prepared herself a plate with everything to taste- I came here actually, Wednesday to let you know that your family has arrived. They are staying in the faculty dorms. Your Grandmothers have already started exploring the grounds for their preparation so if you hear or feel anything
Wednesday: ah. Yes. Thank you for allowing them to stay here at Nevermore
Yoko: your whole family?
Principal Thropp: Morticia did say Lunch would be returning to Westfield with Pugsley on Sunday. They will be returning for Parents Weekend
Divina: wait what?
Bianca: Your grandmothers. They are helping to get Nevermore ready for Ilvermornyâs visit right? Lucas brought up a point. Certain places in Jericho we may want some extra protection
Wednesday: you may be right. Pilgrim World although off limits due to filming Iâm sure those cheating witches will find a way in. Oh! Connie. Iâll have a talk with her as well
Bianca: I forgot about Uriahâs Heap. Good idea.
Divina: wait. Wednesday, your parents are here?
Wednesday: yes. My mother is here to keep the producers in line. My father because of my mother. Mr Burton is fine. But Mr Johnson and Ms Rowling have so far proven to be a pain in the arse We shall see if Mr Waipapa will prove to be as much as a headache as Mr Gunn was
Divina: WAIT WHAT?? Wednesday? Mr Waipapa? As in Teariki Waipapa? Mr Gunn as in Thames Gunn? Mr Johnson as in Doug Johnson? What the fuck, Wednesday?
Wednesday: yes. They are producing my episode. Mr Burton is the primary and technically âshow runnerâ. Ms Rowling has attempted to mutilate my story by makes things more warm and fuzzy. Mr Johnson wants everything big and strong. Mr Gunn had to step down directing episode 2 and appointed Mr Waipapa. None of them believe I am only 17. Only Mr Burton does. My mother is here to oversee the treatment of me. Mr Burton wants me on the set as much as possible to work with him
Divina: Oh. My. God.
Enid: they are going to be hiring some Jericho locals for extras
There was a tapping on the window. Everyone panicked
Wednesday: Grandmama! Granny!! -Wednesday unlatched the window so they could come in-
The two older witches entered
Granny: so this is your room? I remember touring Nevermore with Morticia. She was in love with this window. I like what the two Iâve you have done with it.
Enid: was this her room?
Granny: not it was not. She did end up in Ophelia Hall but she didnât want to stay in a dorm named after her older sister
Wednesday: did Aunt Ophelia go to Nevermore?
Granny: she did not. She chose to take in the melting pot that was public school. And attempt to keep her older brother out of trouble
Thing: -tapping out Morse code- ha! An honorable attempt but to no avail
Grandmama: hello, Thing. And you are right. Fester was and still is quite the menace to society
They all heard it. A moaning male, at least it vaguely sounded male. Calling out Wednesdayâs name in between the moans
Wednesday: oh bother

If Cosmere Characters worked at a coffee shop...
[Spoilers for Rhythm of War & Mistborn Era 1, technically! All other references should be safe.]
Letâs say the Cosmere characters lived in our world and worked as baristas. What would they be like in that role?
1. Kaladin: Keeps trying (in vain) to unionize with the other employees
Kaladin:Â I really thought we had it, that time.
Kaladin:Â I canât believe Iâm the only one who didnât get fired.
Kaladin:Â AGAIN
2. Shallan: Makes the most gorgeous latte art youâve ever seen
Customer:Â H-How did you make the flower 3D? Itâs just MILK
Shallan:Â I learned it from a book!
3. Sarene: Is the queen of malicious compliance and working to rule
Sarene:Â Manager got on my case because the customer said the coffee was weak.
Sarene:Â I am using this scale to measure out the proper coffee amounts to the gram.
Sarene:Â These tweezers help.Â
4. Kelsier: The rumors of his firing were greatly exaggerated
Doug the normal barista:Â Uh, Iâm pretty sure our new coworker Ty Decker is just Kelsier in a mustache.
Doug the other normal barista:Â Impossible! We saw him get fired!
Doug #1:Â Iâm telling you, man! Itâs like he canât leave this coffeeshop!
âTyâ (to a customer): Hello would you like to join my secret club?
Doug #2 (whispering):Â And Iâm pretty sure heâs in an MLM!
5. Adolin: Knows each customer by name (and flirts for tips)
Adolin:Â Janala! Itâs so great to see you! You look gorgeous as always!
Janala:Â ...
Janala: Is our date going to be just hanging out at your coffeeshop while youâre working?
Adolin:Â I-Itâll be fun; youâll see!
6. Lirin: Refuses to apply upcharges
Lirin:Â No one should have to pay EXTRA for oatmilk!
Lirin:Â Iâm just going to give this to you for free.
7. Steris: Has the employee handbook memorized
Steris:Â Actually, itâs illegal to ask Doug to start the coffee before he clocks in.
Steris:Â Employee handbook Section 3.7a.
8. Lightsong: Refuses to believe that he is a god (of coffeemaking)
Lightsong:Â Ugh, WHY are we always so much busier when Iâm working?
Lightsong:Â Iâm not even that good at making coffee!
Llarimar:Â People believe your coffee is the best in town.
Lightsong:Â The coffee maker does all the work!
9. Lezian: Keeps forming grudges against coworkers
Lezian:Â Every time someone else gets chosen for Employee of the Month instead of me...
Lezian:Â I make it my mission to see them FIRED before the month is OVER!
Kaladin:Â But thatâs...always.
Kaladin:Â Youâre not very good at your job.
Lezian:Â THATâS IT
Lezian:Â YOUâRE ON MY LIST
10. Tress: Really just loves the cups
Tress:Â Oh! I love your travel mug!
Tress:Â Where is it from?
11. Vivenna: Gradually has all of her coffeeshop illusions shattered
Vivenna:Â Man, I really thought people would come in, order off the menu, and then wait politely for their drink to be made and delivered.
Customer:Â NINE SHOTS OF ESPRESSO! WHIPPED CREAM!
Vivenna:Â I have seen the darkest parts of humanity.
12. Hoid: Is somehow everyoneâs previous coworker
Shallan:Â Wait, didnât we work for UberEats together?Â
Kelsier:Â No, thatâs the bastard who slapped me! In the middle of Walmart! While we were on the clock!
Kaladin:Â Huh? I think thatâs the guy who always changed the radio station in the store I used to work at.
Steris:Â I think he did Lyft with my sister.
Vivenna:Â Are you sure? I thought he worked at a bookstore with MY sister.
Sarene:Â I think I recognize him from my last office job. He never really seemed to do anything.
Adolin:Â How old IS this guy??
13. Rock: Makes the coffee...very strong
Rock:Â This is how we drink it where Iâm from!
Customer:Â M-My tongue is dissolving!
14. Jasnah: Doesnât like coffee
Shallan:Â You donât like coffee??
Jasnah:Â I do not.
Shallan:Â You work in a coffee shop!
Jasnah:Â I donât try to convince others to dislike coffee.Â
Jasnah:Â But I do believe that it is an unnecessary contrivance that people depend too much on.
Shallan:Â I thought you pulled, like, constant all-nighters!
Jasnah:Â Thatâs just sheer willpower.Â
15. Silence: Takes safety rules very seriously
Silence: Hey!
Silence: Wash out that cut, put on a band-aid, and wear gloves! You canât bleed around food!
Silence: T-turn off that stove! You shouldnât leave an open flame if youâre not heating something up!
Silence: AND NO RUNNING!

Just like the rain
Thought it would be cute to write the moment Jihyo realised she fell in love with R:
Inhale. Exhale.
All of them had been repeating that mantra in their head for the past 5 minutes. After a gruelling day of practice, Twice were finally granted rest. It was close to midnight and despite their hunger, no one had the energy to move; simply relying on the bottles of water they provided.
Even the leader was grateful for this reprieve. This week felt never-ending and took its toll on each of them.
Jihyo was disappointed that she wasn't able to see you due to the hectic schedule, but you reassured her that it was alright. Despite that, it didn't stop you from sending messages throughout the days and even surprising her with flowers at one point.
You were irresistibly sweet, and she would never admit it out loud, but you captivated her when you met. You were a bit brash, mixed with a slight dark sense of humour but it was obvious that your softer side was reserved mainly for Jihyo.
"What are you smiling at?" Nayeon's voice broke Jihyo's train of thought, and she slipped back into a neutral expression.
"I wasn't smiling." Jihyo wanted to facepalm at the attempt of lying. It wasn't even a believable denial.
"I bet she's thinking of about her girlfriend." Sana chimed in before cooing at the leader.
"Y/n isn't my girlfriend!"
Crap
"HA! Sana didn't even name anyone in particular and you thought of y/n!"
Why are Sana and Nayeon ganging up on her?
"Well, the implication is there." She pouted before crossing her arms.
"Unnie is right, we could all tell who Sana was referring too. After all, who else besides Y/n has been trying to woo Jihyo?" Tzuyu tried to hold her laughter, and Jihyo couldn't tell whose side the youngest was on.
"Woo me?"
8 pairs of eyes turned, each member looking incredulously at her, and Jihyo just wanted to sink into the floor.
"Is she being serious?"
"Oh good god..."
"I thought Dahyun and Sana were the only dense ones. "
"Hey!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
She got flustered to the point where she couldn't tell who was speaking anymore but then a knock on the door caught all their attention.
"Come in."
You walked through the door and smiled cheerfully at them.
"Hey gang, heard you just finished and thought you guys might be hungry." They ran to you and snatched the bags out of your hand, but not before profusely thanking you.
You turned to Jihyo, still smiling but your smile turned softer.
"Hi."
"Hey y/n. Thank you, for the food."
"Don't mention it. It looks like you guys needed it tonight." You face the others, and Jihyo follows your line of sight, looking at the others fervently eating.
"You should join them before they eat everything."
She was about to agree when you sneezed.
"Are you okay?" Jihyo went to put her hand on your shoulder but was surprised when she felt how damp your hoodie was.
"Why are your clothes wet?"
"It's raining and I walked here."
"Pabo! What were you thinking?"
"I wanted to see you." Your sincerity warmed her heart but she played it cool.
"Well if you get sick, I hope it was worth it."
"I got to see you, so I'd definitely say it was worth it."
A towel hit you in the face before Jihyo could respond.
"I don't mean to interrupt the flirting, but here's a towel."
"Thanks Jeongyeon." You took your hoodie off leaving you in a plain shirt and dried yourself, placing the towel around your shoulders to keep warm.
"Oh! Before I forget" you pulled a small box and tossed it to Sana.
"Noise cancelling earplugs. I heard thunder on my way here but I saw these at the convenient store."
"Ahh y/n you're so sweet!" Someday you're going to make someone very happy.
"I hope so." If anyone noticed you glance at Jihyo, no one commented on it.
-x-
Jihyo laid in bed but couldn't fall asleep. She kept replaying the last hour in her mind.
You went back with them to the dorm, wishing them a goodnight until it was only you two standing outside the door.
"Thanks again for stopping by, I missed hanging out with you."
"Me too. But hopefully it won't be long to wait after this."
In a bold move, you kissed her cheek.
"Goodnight Jihyo."
She was bombarded with questions when she went inside but went straight to bed.
One comment by Nayeon kept repeating in her head.
"Look how smitten she is, someone's in love!"
She didn't answer but surely it's not true is it?
Memories of the year so far ran through her head including what you did tonight.
Y/n is just a caring person that's all. I mean sure, my heart skips a beat when she does something sweet and thoughtful; but that doesn't mean I'm in love with her right?
Right?
Oh.
She couldn't help but smile.
Everything fell into place, but she wasn't afraid of this newfound revelation. She welcomed the feeling. And just like the rain that night, Jihyo had fallen just as hard.

the language of flowers | lsm
pairing: lee seokmin x f! reader genre: flower shop! au (seventeen), tattoo shop! au (nct), rivalry (slightly subverted), fluff, angst, comedy word count: 10.0k summary: you have a big, fat crush on the owner of the flower shop across the street but there are two pretty big problems: youâre pretty certain he has a girlfriend and both of your staff hate each otherâs guts. warning(s): cursing, very suggestive content (tipsy almost-sex, sexual references and allusions, etc.), reader has some tattoos, insults and slander between both shops (everyone kind of acts like a jerk to one another), seokmin lifts reader off the ground, unedited  authorâs note: wow, this was a doozy! i didnât expect it to get this long tbh and i definitely should have been working on a paper instead of writing this but seokmin has really been hitting different to me recently, so this was born out of that! playlist: fallinâ flower by seventeen ⢠call out my name by the weeknd ⢠take a chance on me by niki ⢠tattoos together by lauv ⢠la vie en rose by ĂŠdith piaf
You werenât sure when the whole Neo Tattoos and Piercings versus Fallinâ Flower rivalry happened but what you were a hundred percent sure about was that it started with Donghyuck. You loved him like a little brother but you knew it had something to do with one of the flower shop employees spilling something on Donghyuck one day when he was in a foul mood. And Donghyuck in a bad mood was something none really wanted to deal with.
Or maybe it started when Doyoung made some off-handed comment about how little effort it took to create wedding bouquets versus tattooing and piercing.
Or maybe it was because Yuta and Mark laughed very loudly when one of the flower shop workers, you were pretty sure his name was Hansol, pulled on their push door.
Okay, maybe you werenât a hundred percent sure how this mess all started.
You did think the owner, Lee Seokmin, was pretty cute though. He had been extremely friendly the first day he had opened his store, coming across the street to introduce himself and you welcomed him to the neighborhood. You even invited him to grab some lunch the next day and that meal together had you smitten, embarrassingly so.
So this supposed ârivalryâ between your store really threw a wrench in your plan to ask him out.
âDo you see this shit?â growled Donghyuck as he practically flung the door to your shop open. âTheyâre opening a cafe in that flower shop!â
âSeriously?â Mark asked, rushing to your storefront to peer out. âOh, shit, they are!â
âDid you think I was lying?â
âI donât know, Hyuck, you kind of have a track record for that.â
âFuck you, Mark Lee, this is why you get no bitches.â
âFuck you, I do get bitches!â
âChildren, children, calm down,â Johnny cooed mockingly. You caught Taeilâs eye and you both rolled your eyes.
âDoyoung, whatâs on schedule for today?â you asked and your staff quieted down to listen to Doyoung, one of your receptionists and schedulers along with Jungwoo and Taeil.
âJohnny, Chanyeolâs coming in today to finish his tattoo at ten-thirty. Taeyong, youâve got two new clients at eleven and at three today; the first oneâs not sure what she wants so youâll have to help her with that. Jaehyunâs got a helix piercing at one, and Yuta has a septum piercing a two, another one twenty minutes later, and then a belly button piercing at four. Mark, youâre shadowing Yutaââ
Yuta cheered a little, lunging at Mark and squeezing him in a hug. You all snickered at the way Mark flailed a little before wrapping his arms around Yuta to return the embrace. ââand Donghyuck, youâre with Johnny today.â Doyoung pointed at you and said, âSoojinâs coming into get a tattoo at eleven today too.â
You grinned at Taeyong and Johnny. âGuess weâll be working side-by-side today.â They smiled back at you, Johnny opening his mouth to say something but there was a knock at your door and everyone looked up, faces immediately darkening.
Seokmin stood outside, unperturbed by the glares coming his way, and you rolled your eyes at your staff members as you walked over to the door and stepped out. âHey!â
âHi!â Seokmin chirped. He jabbed his thumb back at Fallinâ Flower. âWe just opened a coffee shop inside so I wanted to bring you something to try. You like an iced latte, right?â
âI canât believe you remembered,â you said as he handed you an iced latte and a slice of cinnamon coffee cake wrapped in wax paper. âThanks so much, this was so sweet.â He slipped a single flower in with his gifts.
âWhatâs this?â you asked, wiggling the flower in your hand.
âA white gardenia,â Seokmin said. âWe just got some in today.â
âItâs beautiful, thank you. Youâre really too sweet,â you said, feeling your face warm.
He chuckled and you could have sworn his ears were pink. âYou deserve it all,â he said.
Someone cleared their throat behind you and you peeked over your shoulder to see Jaehyun leaning against the closed door. Even with his arms crossed, it was clear he was trying to make himself look larger and more intimidating, which was a pretty simple feat for Jaehyun given that he was already both of those things to a lot of people. He frowned and said, âWe should get ready for opening.â
Seokmin chuckled, taking a step back from you. âI got it,â he said. âWe should get ready to open too.â
âIâll see you around,â you said. Seokmin nodded and smiled brightly, which had your heart thumping.
Jaehyun snorted and you glared at him. âWhat is your problem?â
âWhatâs my problem?â he asked. âYouâre fraternizing with the enemy.â
âHow is the flower shop an enemy? We donât even have the same clients.â
Jaehyun huffed and didnât respond, electing to open the door and let you duck under his arm to go back inside. Yuta scoffed, âWho does he think he is?â
âRight?â Jungwoo grumbled.
âOkay, everyoneâs got to lay off them,â you said.
âWeâll back off when they do,â hissed Donghyuck. âThat Chan fucker said our shop always looked dirty yesterday.â
âAnd whatâs-his-face⌠Soonyoung said tattoo artistsââ
âI couldnât care less about what they said,â you said. âI told Jae this outside already â we donât share the same clients, so thereâs no loss of revenue. I know that there have been incidents in the past that have bred some weird hatred but I need you all to be professionals like I know you all are. No more of this today, do I make myself clear?â
âYes, maâam.â
âGood. Weâre opening in five, so everyone should get to their stations and get ready.â
Everyone scuttled off to where they needed to go and you sighed, sitting at your station and setting your coffee and the flower aside. You practically inhaled the coffee cake Seokmin gave you. It was perfect, just the right amount of sweetness without it being overpowering. You took another bite and sipped a bit of your coffee and you finally understood why coffee cake was called coffee cake. The pairing was heavenly.
âYou sure he didnât poison that?â Johnny asked. You gave him an exasperated look and he said, âIâm kidding⌠mostly.â
He said, âWeâre not doing it to cause trouble. Weâre just protective of one another and of the shop.â
You ran a hand down your face. âI know, I know. And Iâm sure the guys across the street are the same.â
Johnny shrugged and you said, âI just need you guys to tone it down. We canât have this petty feud hurt business.â
âWeâll be on the best behavior we can be.â
You said, âYou realize that thatâs not a high bar, right?â
Johnny laughed and Taeil led Chanyeol inside for the first appointment of the day.
Before you knew it, you were sitting on your stool, bent over Soojinâs arm as you did the linework for her new tattoo â the moon with some stars dotted around it. She was talking with you as well as Chanyeol and Johnny at the station beside you. You half-listened to her and Chanyeol talk about a concert they were both at the night before but didnât know the other was there while you listened to Taeyong patiently talk through the steps of getting a tattoo to his new client.
You rolled your chair over to take a sip of your coffee quickly before resuming Soojinâs tattoo. She asked, âIs that from the new cafe in the flower shop?â
âYeah!â
âI was thinking of going over there after my tattoo. Do you like their stuff?â
The shop went eerily quiet with only the buzzing of yours, Taeyong, and Johnnyâs tattoo guns making any noise. Yuta and Jaehyun had stopped chatting, and Donghyuck and Mark stopped bickering. You felt your eye twitch. Were they all fucking serious?
âYeah, I really like it,â you said and you heard a sharp inhale of breath a few feet behind you. âAnd the owner is lovely.â
Something like a snort came from the corner. You focused only on Soojin and said, âI definitely think you should check it out.â
âI think I will,â she said, âbecause Iâm really jealous of your coffee.â
âYou can take a sip if you want?â
âReally? Can I?â
âIâve injected ink into your skin for hours, Soojin, Iâd say weâre good enough friends for you to share a drink.â
She giggled and reached over with the arm that wasnât getting tattooed to take a sip. âShit, this is good.â
You hummed in agreement and looked over your shoulder, pointedly glaring at your staff. They immediately went back to what they were doing but the energy in your store definitely dropped. If you had any free hand, you would be massaging your temples in frustration right now.
Soojinâs tattoo took about an hour and she gleefully told you how much she loved it and loved you. You gave her whatever she needed for aftercare and watched as she crossed the street to Fallinâ Flower. Doyoung said, âStill think theyâre not competition?â
âNo, I donât because theyâre not curbing revenue from us.â
âMaybe we should open a cafe,â said Jungwoo.
You snorted, âWho would run it? Mark canât even cook an egg, much less make a tulip out of crema and steamed milk.â
âHey!â Mark shouted from the back. âYou promised not to bring that up again!â
You heard Johnny ask, âDidnât Gordon Ramsey respond to the tweet Donghyuck posted about that?â
âYou all suck.â
It was around four in the evening and you were busy shoving chicken lo mein into your mouth with Jaehyun, Johnny, Taeyong, and Donghyuck in the break room when you thought you heard the entrance bell jingle. You had had a bunch of walk-ins throughout the day; seven people looking to get pierced and five wanting tattoos. And one was a hookup from a few nights ago that Jaehyun didnât call back, which had you all either laughing at Jaehyun or giving him looks while he ushered her outside, his ears bright red.
Taeil opened the break room door and said, âThereâs a woman here asking for you.â
âMe?â you asked, putting your takeout container down on a side table.
Johnny snickered, âIs it a hookup you didnât call back?â Jaehyun threw a wrapped fortune cookie at Johnnyâs head with a âFuck youâ accompanying it.
âI donât think so,â you chuckled, following Taeil to the front of the shop.
The woman was making small talk with Doyoung and Jungwoo, and she brightened up when she saw you. âHi,â she said, âIâm Yuna and I was wondering if you had time to tattoo me today.â
âWe do,â you said. âItâs nice to meet you, Yuna. Do you know what youâre looking for?â
She nodded and pulled out her phone, showing you a photo of the word âfirstâ in elegant script. âA friend of mine recommended you specifically to do it.â
âIâm flattered,â you said. âIs this your first time getting a tattoo?â
She nodded and you said, âIâll walk you through the process and then weâll get started.â
You wrote out the stencil, showing it to Yuna, who clapped her hands and said, âItâs perfect!â She chose to place the tattoo on the back of her arm, right above the bone of her elbow. You had her fill out the paperwork and settle up payment, cleaned the area on the back of her left arm, and reaffirmed that it was exactly where she wanted it placed.
The tattoo didnât take long given that it was just black lettering, no shading or coloring necessary. As you dressed the tattoo and gave her instructions on how to take care of it, you asked, âCan I ask who recommended me to you for tattooing?â
She replied, âDokyeom did.â
You raised an eyebrow. âI donât think I know a Dokyeom.â
âOh!â She said, âSorry, you probably know him as Seokmin. Dokyeom was his nickname back in high school.â
Something ugly twisted in your gut. âGot it,â you said. âThat was very kind of him.â
Yuna nodded and said, âHeâs the sweetest.â
âHe is.â For some reason, the words felt bitter on your tongue.
âThanks so much again,â Yuna chirped, giving you a bright smile. You did your best to return it despite the pit in your stomach. You wanted to ask her more about Seokmin and how they knew each other and what they were to one another but were scared, frankly, scared of the answer.
The day flew by with a couple of more walk-ins asking for various piercings and tattoos. When the clock hit eight, Jungwoo flipped the sign on the door from âopenâ to âclose.â Taeyong stood up and stretched his arms above his head, sighing in satisfaction when he heard cracks and pops. Doyoung commented, âThatâs how you know youâre getting old.â
Taeyong shot him a glare. âSleep with one eye open, Doyoung, I know where you live.â
âOh, Iâm so scared.â
âWhatâs he doing here?â Yuta hissed and you all followed his gaze to the door, where Seokmin stood outside with a vase of flowers. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Johnny move to get the door so you hurried over quickly, opening it first.
âYou need anything?â
Seokmin shook his head and held out the vase of flowers to you. âNo, but I wanted to thank you for taking good care of Yuna today. She was kind of nervous to get her first tattoo and she told me just how amazing you were with her and how you made her feel so comfortable.â
That ugly feeling reared it head again as you accepted the vase. âJust doing my job.â You glanced at the flowers and asked, âWhat are these?â
âYellow lilies,â he replied.
You nodded. âThanks.â The word came out much more curt than you intended it to be and you caught the flash of surprise go across Seokminâs face before it melted back into his warm smile.
âJust doing my job,â he parroted back at you. You wanted to give him a nicer smile but the question about just who Yuna was to him and who he was to her were still plaguing your mind. The two of you stood there in an awkward silence â a rare occurrence for someone like Seokmin â before he piped up quietly, âIâll see you Monday, then.â
âYeah, see you.â You retreated back into your store and watched as he made his way across the street, back to his. It was only then when you noticed his employees peering out the window and into your store, where you absolutely knew all your guys were glaring from.
You didnât even have the energy to tell them to knock it off. The vase felt heavy in your hands as you placed it on a side table. You remembered the gardenia Seokmin had given you in the morning and you grabbed it from your station, placing it among the yellow lily bouquet.
Jaehyun nudged you and asked, âAre you going to Jungkookâs on tonight?â
âI honestly totally forgot about that,â you said. Jungkook was a friend of yours and Jaehyunâs from college. He took over his fatherâs company right after you all graduated so you rarely saw him since he was always so busy. Recently, though, he successfully completed a merger with a different company, and he finally was able to justify a break for himself, which included throwing a party in his uptown penthouse.
You werenât really sure you were in much of a partying mood right now, though.
Jaehyun said, âI think you should go, we havenât seen him in a while.â
âYeah, I guess youâre right.â
âI can pick you up at around ten,â Jaehyun said, âand we can go over together.â
âPerfect.â
It turned out that every one of your college friends going to Jungkookâs party remembered it but you. You got a FaceTime call from Jihyo, who asked what you were wearing and then gasped when you said a t-shirt and jeans. âYou cannot do that.â
âWhy not? Whatâs wrong with it?â you asked her, taking a few steps away to show her the full outfit as if it would change her mind.
âHow often do you get to be all dressed up?â
âJihyoâŚâ
âY/nâŚâ
You crumbled under her stern gaze and sighed, âFine, fine. Iâll look in my closet.â You opened it up, rifling through it until you came upon a periwinkle blue halter top and the matching skirt. You couldnât remember the last time you wore it, maybe to some club in your senior year?
You showed the set to Jihyo, who squealed and nodded emphatically. âI remember that one! You always looked so sexy in it! Plus, itâll show off your tattoos and I know lots of guys whoâll love that.â
âIâm not trying to get laid at Jungkookâs.â
âYou may not be trying but that doesnât mean you canât.â
âIâm hanging up now.â
âWait, wait! Are you coming alone or are you going in with someone?â
âJaehyunâs coming with me.â
Jihyo wiggled her eyebrows suggestively and you said, âYou and I both know itâs not like that.â
âIâm not sure why it isnât, though, that man is fine.â
You made a face. âIâve seen Jaehyun take soy sauce shots and drink milk straight from the carton then put it back.â
Jihyo waved you off. âSemantics.â
âIâm hanging up.â
You met Jaehyun in your lobby about fifteen minutes later and he gave you a once over and a whistle. You punched him in the shoulder and he just chuckled, âI havenât seen you like this since college.â
âYeah, I know.â
He glanced at you again and said, âJungkook should throw parties more often.â
âJeong Jaehyun, do you want to die?â
He just smirked back at you and the two of you got in a cab to Jungkookâs high-rise. You rang the buzzer for Jungkookâs apartment and you werenât sure who replied and buzzed you up but you had a feeling it was a very, very drunk BamBam.
âYo!â Jungkook answered the door, dressed in a tight dress shirt and slacks. âYou two look great! Thanks for coming!â He dapped Jaehyun up and gave you a tight hug. Then, he gently poked the tattoo on your shoulder â a small abstract representation of the moon and the ocean that Taeyong did for a you a couple of months back. âThis one new?â
âNot really,â you said. âGot it about six months ago.â
Jungkookâs eyes widened. âShit, has it really been that long since weâve seen each other.â
âTime flies,â you said. Jungkook nodded and stepped aside, letting you and Jaehyun cross into his apartment. He was lucky that owned the entire floor because if you were his neighbor and the music was this loud, youâd be issuing a noise complaint right now.
Jungkook showed the two of you to the bar, manned by two shirtless bartenders. Jungkook introduced them as Jimin and Jin, who both agreed to work the party as a favor to Jungkook. Jaehyun ordered a screwdriver while you said youâd take some of Jinâs specialty sangria.
âMy favorite friends!â You and Jaehyun watched Dongmin stumble toward you, draping his arms around your shoulders in a hug. You and Jaehyun smiled as you steadied Dongmin; he had never been particularly great at holding his liquor, which meant that Dongmin didnât often get drunk. It would be endearing to see your normally cool and collected friend red-faced and staggering if you werenât worried that he was just going to tip over at any moment.
You patted Dongmin on the back and asked, âAre you going to be okay standing up on your own?â
âTotally fine,â he said, giving you a drunken grin. He reached up to squish Jaehyunâs cheeks. âI missed this face.â
Jaehyun gave you a look that screamed âHelp me!â but you just smirked at him and said, âYouâre doing great, Jae.â
You ignored his protests as you slipped away to find some more of your friends. You located Jihyo and Mina, who were doing rum shots with Taeyang and Hyunjae. âYou look even sexier in real life,â Jihyo said. She pointed at you and asked the other three, âDoesnât Y/n look hot?â
âDefinitely,â Hyunjae said. Mina and Taeyang nodded in agreement. Distantly, you heard the buzzer go off again and, again, BamBam took up the task of answering it with a garbled yell. You glanced around the penthouse; you thought everyone was here.
âWho else could be coming?â you asked Jihyo.
âI think Jungkook invited some friends from high school.â
You hummed and took the shot Mina poured for you, setting your cup of sangria down and tilting your head back, gulping the shot down just as Jungkook opened his front door. You choked on your drink as you saw Seokmin walk in with two other Fallinâ Flower workers â Mingyu and Minghao â and Yuna.
Oh, you have got to be kidding. Not only were the two people you really didnât want to think about here together, but you werenât in the mood for Jaehyun to get into some altercation with Minghao and Mingyu.
âGive me another shot,â you demanded, turning back to your friends. Taeyang and Hyunjae shared a glance but Hyunjae still poured you some more Bacardi. You relished in the burn of the coconut rum, wiping your mouth with the back of your hand. âExcuse me.â You left without another explanation, searching for Jaehyun. You needed to get to him before he saw Seokmin, Mingyu, and Minghao on his own, and you also just wanted to avoid seeing Seokmin and Yuna together.
âThanks for your help,â Jaehyun deadpanned when you found him near one of the floor to ceiling windows, free of Dongmin.
âSorry,â you muttered, swiping Jaehyunâs drink from him and taking a sip.
He snatched it back from you and said, âYou seem kind of tense right now.â
âOkay, Iâm going to tell you something and I need you to not freak the fuck out.â
âOkayâŚâ
âMinghao, Seokmin, and Mingyu are here.â
Jaehyun immediately straightened up and his jaw clenched. His eyes scanned the crowd and it was clear when he found them. You grabbed his shoulder to bring his attention back to you. âThis is the first time Jungkookâs been able to relax in a while. Please donât start some inane argument tonight.â
Jaehyun exhaled through his nose and said, âI wonât.â
You nodded but there was still an uneasy feeling in your stomach. You couldnât tell if it was from the possibility of some blowup between the guys or if it was because of Seokmin and Yuna, who you spotted in a corner together, their heads bent close to one another.
You took in Seokminâs profile, all the sharp points of his face that were contrary to his gentle personality. He was handsome, undoubtedly so, and it made your heart hurt just a little.
Whatever he and Yuna were talking about, it was intense and passionate and you wondered if it would end in some equally intense kiss. You didnât want to watch and find out.
âIâm getting another drink,â you announced to Jaehyun. You made your way to the bar station again when you bumped into someone, who just barely avoided spilling their drink on you. âFuck, Iâm so sorry.â
âYouâre all good,â the man said. He smiled at you, the corner of his mouth dimpling. âI donât think weâve met. Iâm Chan.â
âY/n.â You shook his hand and asked, âHow do you know Jungkook?â
âWe studied abroad together,â he explained. âWhat about you?â
âCollege too,â you replied. âIâm sorry, I feel like he definitely mentioned you before but I canât remember.â
Chan shook his head good-naturedly. âItâs okay. Heâs clearly got a lot of friends to remember.â He motioned with his drink to the apartment and you laughed a little.
âClearly.â You pointed at his drink. âWhat do you have?â
He peered inside and swirled his cup a little, both of you watching as the liquid sloshed around inside. âI think itâs a Long Island iced tea but Jungkook just shoved it in my hand when I arrived. I really havenât drank any.â
âCan I try?â
âSure.â He handed you the cup and you took a long pull from it, feeling the delicious rush of alcohol to your head.
You pushed it back into Chanâs hand. âItâs good, try some.â
He took a drink and said, âWow, that is good.â He handed the cup back to you and you took turns drinking from it, the booze making your head feel light and airy.
The music picked up into a slow, seductive song and you grabbed Chanâs arm, setting the drink down on some random surface. âDo you want to dance?â
âYeah, letâs do it!â You giggled at his enthusiasm and dragged him closer to the middle of the room, where people had started pairing off to grind against one another. You drew Chan closer to you, guiding his hands to your hips. He pressed your back to his chest, resting his chin on your shoulder as you swayed to the beat together. Some hazy voice at the back of your mind told you to look around to see if Seokmin was dancing with Yuna but it quickly disappeared when Chan nuzzled your neck, his hot breath against your skin making you shiver. Your hands slid to rest atop his on your hips and you pressed yourself closer to him.
You whined when you felt his lips finally make contact with the nape of your neck, sending electricity pulsing through you. You flipped in his arms, draping your arms around his shoulders as he wrapped around your waist. You tipped your head up and kissed him, running your hands through his hair as you still moved to the rhythm of the music.
âThis is a little forward,â Chan murmured in your ear, low and slow, âand I donât usually do this and Iâm a little buzzed but do you want to get out of here?â
âYes, please,â you answered breathlessly and you peeled yourself away from him, grabbing his hand and leading him to the door. You shot Jaehyun and Jihyo separate texts to let them know you were leaving with Chan. Jihyo was the first to reply, requesting that you share your location with her. Your fingers fumbled but you eventually sent your location to her. You didnât read Jaehyunâs reply, too occupied with peppering kisses along Chanâs neck as he ordered an Uber for the two of you.
You stumbled up the stairs of his walk-up, eventually coming to his front door. He unlocked it as quickly as he could and as soon as it closed behind the two of you, he pressed you against it and kissed you again.
As you two made your way languidly down the hall to his bedroom, Seokminâs face flashed bright in your mind and you started wondering what it would be like kissing him, grating your hips against his, pressing pecks along his elegant neck.
You fell back against Chanâs bed and he hovered of you, hands hot on the bare skin of your waist. You slipped your hands underneath his shirt, feeling the rows of lean muscle. He kissed along your shoulder, pressing a particularly reverent kiss to your tattoo, before continuing a path along your collarbone. He began trailing closer to the chest when you pushed your hand against his shoulder, gently urging him away from you. Chan immediately backed away and asked, âEverything okay?â
âYeah, yeah,â you said. You took a deep breath. Seokminâs smiling face appeared in your mind again and there was a knot in your stomach. You said softly, âIâm sorry, I donât think I can sleep with you.â
Chan said, âNo need to apologize for anything.â
You smiled weakly at him. âYouâre much nicer than most of the guys Iâve turned down for sex.â
âWell, being nice about that is, like, the bare minimum of being a decent person.â Chan glanced at the clock at his bedside and said, âIâm not totally comfortable letting you go off into the night on your own so you can sleep here and I can sleep on the couch.â
âIâm not kicking you out of your bed, Chan,â you said.
âIâm seriously okay with sleeping on the couch.â
âChan, itâs your bed. If anything, I can sleep on the couch.â
âNo.â
You said, âWe can share your bed.â
Chan raised an eyebrow. âAre you comfortable with that?â
âYou just had your tongue in my mouth and we almost had sex,â you said. âI think I can handle sharing a bed.â
Chan barked out a laugh and said, âGot it. Let me get something more comfortable for you.â
Chan climbed out of his bed, staggering a little drunkenly. He righted himself quickly and reached into his drawers, pulling out a t-shirt and basketball shorts for you. He turned around when you changed and clambered into bed next to you when you laid down.
âCan I ask you a question?â he asked.
You hummed in assent and he said, âDo you have any more tattoos? Other than the moon and ocean on your shoulder?â
You nodded, sitting up and reaching over to turn his dim bedside lamp on. âYeah.â You showed Chan your underarm, where your birthday was written out in Roman numerals. You also lifted your (his) t-shirt and pulled the band of the shorts down slightly to show him your hip, where you had a sprig of lavender.
Chan said, âIâve always thought about getting one but I keep chickening out.â
âYou could drop by my shop some time and we could have a consultation.â
Chanâs eyes widened. âYouâre a tattoo artist?â
âYeah, I even did some of Jungkookâs.â
âThatâs wickedly cool.â
You grinned at him. âThanks.â Your eyelids drooped, either from the alcohol or your own tiredness but it was enough for Chan to reach over you and turn the light off.
âWe can talk in the morning if youâre still here,â Chan said. âLetâs go to sleep now, though.â
âOkay. Good night, Chan.â
âNight, Y/n.â
Your head was throbbing and your mouth was as dry as the desert when you woke up. You heard Chan groan behind you and you guessed he was feeling just as shitty as you were. âIâm never drinking again,â Chan grumbled.
âNever say never,â you replied. âBut Iâm inclined to agree.â
Chan huffed a laugh and said, âDo you have to get to work this morning?â
âNo, the shopâs closed on Sundays.â
He said, âDo you want to go to this new cafe? My friends told me they have good hangover baked goods.â
âSounds perfect.â
You both struggled to get out of bed and Chan let you use his shower first. He also let you keep his t-shirt and shorts, which you wore over your party set, since wearing it by itself at eleven in the morning was not the vibe. You, unfortunately, did have to wear the party heels you stuffed your feet into because there was simply no way youâd fit into Chanâs shoes.
You insisted on paying for the cab to wherever Chan was taking you, finally getting Chan to agree to let you do so as long as he paid for the food and drinks. When you stepped out of the car, you felt fucking stupid that you didnât realize where he was taking you.
Fallinâ Flower.
You pursed your lips as he held the door open for you. You didnât go over to Seokminâs flower shop as much as he came over to Neo Tattoos and Piercings so you werenât sure what his staffâs reaction would be to you, their persona non grata, strolling in.
Immediately, your mood soured when you spotted Yuna. Logically, you knew you shouldnât feel this negatively towards her. If she and Seokmin had a thing, if they were boyfriend and girlfriend, that was none of your business, but you couldnât help the way your heart sank at the thought.
You wondered if you were doing a bad job of hiding that you didnât like her because, when you walked in, she looked almost appalled and angry. Mingyu was at the counter and you mentally cursed as Chan and you walked up to it. Mingyu looked up with a broad smile but it swiftly slipped off when he spotted you and Chan. âWhat are you doing here?â he asked brusquely.
Chan frowned, taken aback. âExcuse me?â
Mingyuâs eyes narrowed at you and he spoke past Chan to you, âYou have some fucking nerve.â
You almost rolled your eyes. This fucking feud really was the most obnoxious thing youâve ever experienced. But you had to set an example for the rest of your staff and friends at the shop and, honestly, your hangover didnât put you in any mood for this bullshit so you tried your best to ignore Mingyuâs attitude. Chan, however, did not. âDonât talk to her that way.â
Mingyuâs head snapped towards him. âAre you her boyfriend or something?â
âMingyu! Do you haveââ One of the other workers, Jihoon, came out of the florist part of Fallinâ Flower, freezing when he saw you. His expression immediately became colder and he said, âYouâre here.â
Chan scowled. âIs this really how you treat customers? Because if it isââ
âChan,â you said, placing a hand on his shoulder. âIâll explain later but donât get worked up over this. Iâm fine.â
He looked at you incredulously. âAre you serious?â
âJust stay out of this,â you muttered to him. You turned back to Mingyu and squared your shoulders. Despite Mingyuâs larger frame, youâve seen how he acted like a golden retriever with Seokmin, so whatever intimidation he was trying to carry out failed miserably. âIâll take aââ
âYouâre still going to order here?â
âI have a right to be here as a paying customer,â you replied tersely. âIf you walked into the shop and asked for a piercing or tattoo, we wouldnât turn you away.â
Mingyu sneered at you and from next to him, Jihoon opened his mouth to say something but they were cut off by two sharp calls of their names. Seokmin rushed out of the flower shop and into the cafe, and you were a little startled by how he looked. His eyes were a little bloodshot and puffy and his shoulders were slumped. Still, he said sternly, âThis is not how we treat people here.â
âButââ Mingyu began to protest but Seokmin gave him a warning glare. Seokmin mad was much scarier than you ever envisioned. You couldnât even fathom what he would look like mad before now.
âGo to the back and cool off. Both of you.â Jihoon and Mingyu left and Seokmin took over the register. âIâm sorry about that, Y/n. What can I get you today?â He gave you a polite smile but it didnât reach his eyes.
You frowned but gave him your order with Chan giving his own after. Seokmin rang you up and, though you tried to pull out your card first, Chan beat you by tapping his own on the chip reader. âNice try,â he said, nudging your shoulder. Out of the corner of your eye, it almost looked like Seokmin was queasy. Maybe he was just as hungover as you were.
You shuffled to the pick up area and watched as Joshua and Minghao made your drinks and handed you your food. Minghaoâs glare sent an unpleasant shiver down your spine but he didnât say anything to you.
You didnât want to stay in Fallinâ Flower any longer than you needed to, so once you got your orders, you suggested that you sit in the small park a few blocks over. As you left, you swore you heard Yuna mutter, âHeartless,â as you passed her but you couldnât be sure.
You were almost down the street when one of the flower shop workers, Hansol, came running after you. He held out a small bundle of flowers and said breathlessly, âOn the house.â He sprinted back into the shop and slammed the door.
You and Chan exchanged equally perplexed looks as you stared at the flowers. You two still continued on your way to the park. You were lucky it was a cloudy day because the sun would have been way too bright for the state you were in. The fresh air helped soothe your raging headache a little and as you settled onto a bench, Chan said, âYou said youâd explain what the hell was up with the way they treated you back there.â
You sighed heavily and told Chan all about the rivalry between your stores across the street from one another. He made a face. âThat just seems stupid.â
âIt is. Seokmin â he was the one who took our orders â and I have tried to get them to cool off but it seems like they just keep inciting one another.â
Chan frowned and said, âThey seemed pretty sharp with you even though youâre not the one carrying out this feud business.â
âTheyâre just hostile to anyone at Neo.â
âI have half a mind to write a bad review about customer service.â
âIf you did that, youâd have to write one about my shop too since thatâs how my guys act when Fallinâ Flower guys come around.â
Chan gave you a small smile as he sipped his coffee. âThen I wonât.â He looked at the flowers next to you on the bench and said, âIs this part of the feud too?â
âIâm not sure; this is new.â
Chan eyed the flowers and said, âI think those are yellow carnations.â
âYouâre a flower expert?â
He blushed a little. âNo but my motherâs an avid gardener.â
âWhy would they give these to me for free when they obviously donât like me?â you wondered aloud.
âMaybe they mean something,â Chan suggested. âFlowers all symbolize something.â
You nodded slowly and said, âMaybe. Iâll look this up later, I donât think I can stomach looking at a screen right now.â
âSame here.â
You and Chan finished your coffee and food and parted ways after exchanging numbers, promising to hang out another time without a) tipsily making out or b) being hungover.
âI still feel like walking death,â you said to Jaehyun as you started to prepare for the work day. Monday came around much sooner than you wanted, especially given that you were still recovering from Jungkookâs party. âHow are you so chirpy?â
Jaehyun shrugged with a smirk. âBetter alcohol tolerance?â
âScrew you and your genetics.â You massaged your temples and asked Jungwoo, âWhatâs on schedule for today?â
You zoned out while Jungwoo read what appointments were made for the day. Blessedly, you only had one appointment on tap and it was much later in the evening, which meant you had a fairly relaxing day even if there were walk-ins.
As everyone dispersed to their stations, you remembered something. The yellow carnations. You were about to whip out your phone when you recalled that Johnny was pretty well-versed in flower symbolism given that he specialized in realistic tattoos, specifically flowers and plants. He was the one who tattooed the lavender sprig on your hip, after all.
âJohnny?â
âYeah?â
âDo you know what yellow carnations symbolize?â
He thought for a second and said, âI canât remember; I know there was a client who almost got them tattooed but their friend stopped them before she could for some reason. Why?â
You contemplated telling him about the flowers from Hansol but decided against it. It seemed like the flowers couldnât have any positive connotation to them, which you had already figured, and you didnât want to fan the flame anymore so you responded, âIâm coming for your brand, Suh.â
He glared playfully at you. âIâll kill you before you can even try.â
You chuckled and shoved him lightly, earning a laugh from him as well before you both went back to getting ready. You pulled out your phone this time and plugged the flowers into the search bar.
Your stomach dropped when you read the first result.
Yellow carnations: rejection, disdain, and disappointment with someone.
Well, that was certainly a very clear message. And you werenât super surprised. That doesnât mean that it didnât stump you. You understood the disdain part â it was very clear how much Fallinâ Flower employees didnât like you or the rest of the Neo Tattoos and Piercings crew, but what was up with rejection and disappointment in someone. As far as you knew, you didnât reject anyone they would care about recently.
What a bunch of weird guys. Still, the flowers were pretty so you put them in a vase with some water and set them up in the window.
Not that you were keeping track or anything, but youâve spotted Yuna going into Fallinâ Flower a lot more in the past few days. You tried to push down the ache in your chest when youâd see her enter the shop.
You were fortunate that things had been hectic recently. It seemed like there were a lot of birthdays going on, thus a lot of people coming in for celebratory tattoos and piercings. You didnât have a lot of time to think about Seokmin and the way he looked when you last saw him nor about the rest of the Fallinâ Flower workers and Yuna in those moments, but it was safe to say that in your free time, you were pretty in your head about all that stuff.
You knew the guys saw your change in demeanor and you appreciated the way they tried to cheer you up. Yuta and Mark began calling each other increasingly ridiculous pet names; your favorite one was Yutaâs âmy sugar plum spice cake.â Johnny and Taeyong dragged you into random dance parties in your down time. Doyoung and Jaehyun bought you your favorite treats. Jungwoo and Taeil belted the lyrics to your favorite songs. It made you smile and it warmed your heart just how much your friends wanted to make you happy, but you knew your sadness wouldnât just go away.
Chan dropped by your store one day with a bouquet of chrysanthemums, telling you that he had looked up what the yellow carnation meant and that he hoped these would be a kinder replacement for them since they represented joy and optimism. You ignored the curious looks from Taeil, Doyoung, and Jungwoo as you placed the chrysanthemums in a vase on their desk.
For some reason, you didnât want to take the carnation down. It almost felt like giving into the defeat by getting rid of them. You wanted the guys at Fallinâ Flower to look at the bouquet and know that they didnât scare you one bit.
It was the end of the day and you just finished tattooing your last client, Chaeyoung, resting up in the break room with Yuta and Jaehyun, when the bell in your shop sounded very loudly, which meant the door was opened with a lot of force. You heard shouting from Taeil, Jungwoo, and Doyoung, catching only a bit of what they were saying. âYouâre not allowed back there!â cried Jungwoo.
âHey!â Doyoung huffed.
Seokmin burst into the room, looking a little panicked. Yuta and Jaehyun immediately stood up and you followed them quickly, placing your hands on both of their chests before they could do anything further. You leveled Seokmin with a firm look and said, âOnly employees are allowed back here, Seokmin.â
âI know, I know, I just need to ask you about something.â
âOkay, letâs do it outside then.â
You brushed past Jaehyun and Yuta and followed Seokmin outside, pulling him around the corner so that you were away from prying eyes. âWhat is it?â you asked.
âThe yellow carnations in your window display. Who gave them to you?â
âHansol from your shop.â
Seokminâs frown deepened and he sighed, âI was afraid of that.â
âI know what they mean, Seokmin.â
âYou do?â
You nodded, staring down at your shoes. He said, âI swear I didnât ask them to do that.â
âI know,â you mumbled quietly. âI know you wouldnât do that.â
A tense silence fell over the two of you. You werenât sure what else to say to him and then Seokmin, almost inaudibly, said, âThose chrysanthemums are nice.â
âPardon me?â
A little louder. âThe chrysanthemums are nice.â
âThanks.â
Seokmin crossed his arms and leaned against the outer wall of your shop. âDid your boyfriend give them to you?â
âMy what?â
âYour boyfriend,â Seokmin said. âThe one you left Jungkookâs party with.â
You stilled. You didnât even think that Seokmin saw you at Jungkookâs, much less that he saw you leave with Chan. You said slowly, âHeâs not my boyfriend.â
âYou seemed awfully cozy with him.â Your eyebrows raised at Seokminâs flippant tone and even he seemed shocked by what came out of his mouth.
Something white hot burned in your chest. Who was he to judge you about anything? âWhatâs it to you?â
âI didnât mean toââ
âSave it.â You scowled. âAnd tell your boys at the shop that they need to do a lot more to scare me off.â
You turned on your heel but Seokmin grabbed your elbow, spinning you around to face him again. âWait!â he said. âI came here to apologize on behalf of Fallinâ Flower about the yellow carnations.â
âOkay. Is that all?â
âIââ
âHey!â Johnny rounded the corner. âWhat the hell are you doing?â Before you could react, Johnnyâs pulling Seokmin away from you and shoving him back.
Seokmin stumbled back a little and put his hands up in surrender. âIâm sorry, I wasnâtââ
Johnny pulled himself up to his full height as you saw Mingyu storming across the street.
Oh, great, just what you needed today.
Yuta, Jaehyun, and Donghyuck came around the corner, which seemed to prompt Jeonghan, Soonyoung, and Chan (also known as Dino and not be confused with the Chan you met at Jungkookâs party) to cross the street and join whatever argument Johnny and Mingyu were in.
There were so many voices and so much noise and so much chaos and all you wanted was some fucking peace and quiet to gather your thoughts and calm yourself down. You wanted to run but you knew you were responsible for your staff. Plus, the last thing any of you needed was police being called in for disturbance.
As the voices got louder and louder, you took a deep breath and yelled, âEveryone, shut up!â
All involved parties seemed shocked by your shout. They all turned to you and you dragged a hand over your face, feeling the pent up anger and frustration, not just for the past few days, but from when this ridiculous feud began, start to bubble to the surface. âFor once,â you said quietly and steadily, âfor once, I just want a day where nobody antagonizes someone else across the street. Clearly, thatâs too much to ask from any of you grown men to do. I canât believe that this fight has been going on for this fucking long over some minor fucking thing that just snowballed into this mess. Iâm so sick of listening to everyone bitch and moan about the shop across the street and of being antagonized just for going over to the other side. Iâm sure Seokmin is sick of it too.â
You turned towards your employees and said, âWeâre closing early today. Iâm going to take a long walk and I want you all to stay in the break room and reflect long and hard today. Do I make myself clear?â
Donghyuck weakly protested, âBut what about the Fallinâââ
âSeokmin can do whatever he wants with them, I donât really care.â You tried your best to not think about the way Seokmin flinched at your words. âBut as long as you work at Neo Tattoos and Piercings, youâll do as I say. Iâll ask again: do I make myself clear?â
âYes, maâam.â
You didnât look at any of them as you brushed past and started off down the street on your long, long walk.
You walked down to the pier on the other side of the city. You used to come here a lot when you first started Neo Tattoos and Piercings, but you havenât had a chance to do it in a while. You leaned against one of the guardrails, staring out at the bay. The breeze felt nice on your skin and you breathed in the salty air of the brackish water.
You felt someone stop a few feet away from you and you didnât even need to look to know it was Seokmin. You side-eyed him and he said, âI swear I didnât follow you.â
âI know.â
Silence.
âIâm having my staff members reflect on their actions as well.â
âIâm glad for you.â
Silence.
âI wasnât judging you about leaving with someone from Jungkookâs party.â
You rubbed a hand across your face. âIâ I know you werenât. Iâm sorry, I think I was justâ these past few days have been emotionally draining for me so I guess I lashed out and I apologize for that.â
Seokmin shuffled a little closer to you. You didnât move away. He said, âIâm sorry as well. About the yellow carnations Hansol gave you. I gave him an earful about it; heâs a good kid, but he was egged on by some of the older guys.â
You snorted. âHe looked scared shitless when he handed them to me.â
Seokmin laughed a little. âI can only imagine.â
Silence.
Seokmin asked, âDo you know what the other flowers meant?â
âWhat other flowers?â
âThe other ones Iâve given you?â
You wracked your brain. âThe, uhâŚâ
âThe gardenia and the yellow lilies.â
âRight. No, I donât know what they mean.â
Seokmin replied, âYellow lilies symbolize thankfulness.â Thank you flowers for tattooing Yuna.
âRight.â
Silence.
âWhat does the gardenia mean, then?â
Seokmin was looking anywhere but you. He muttered something but you couldnât hear it over the churning of the bay water. âSorry, what did you say?â
Seokmin glanced at you. âSecret love,â he said finally. âIt means secret love.â
Secret love.
Your heart stopped.
There was no way Seokmin was confessing feelings for you. You whirled on him, furious. âAre you fucking for real right now?â
Seokminâs eyes grew giant. âWhat?â
âYouâre seriously confessing a secret love for me while you have a girlfriend?â
âGirlfriend? I donât have a girlfriend!â
âYuna!â you practically shouted. âYouâre dating Yuna!â
Seokmin blinked at you three times before saying, âIâm not dating Yuna.â
It was your turn to blink at him. âWhat?â
Seokmin said, âYunaâs a good friend of mine but she would never date me.â
âHowâs that possible? Youâre handsome and kind and generous andââ You stopped yourself, feeling your cheeks heat up.
Seokmin grinned at you, relaxing as he shuffled close enough that your shoulders brushed against one another. âShe has a girlfriend, Y/n. Sheâd sooner date you than me.â
You didnât expect that. âOh.â You fiddled with the rings around your fingers. âThen why was she giving me such nasty looks the last time I was in Fallinâ Flower?â
âThat⌠thatâs my fault.â
Your eyes narrowed and you shifted away from him. Seokmin quickly added, âI didnât ask her to do it! I⌠I justâŚâ He sighed, âWhen we were at Jungkookâs party, I was supposed to confess to you there and ask you on a date and while I was talking through the plan with Yuna, we saw you and that guy... you knowâŚâ
You were pretty sure you were very up-close-and-personal with Chan by then. âYeahâŚâ
Seokmin flushed a little as he continued, âI⌠I was so hurt by that that I just started crying and Yuna, Mingyu, Minghao, and I actually left pretty soon after that because I was so upset.â
Your heart cracked. âIâm sorry, Seokmin.â
His face was pink as he waved you off. âYou didnât know. I was just being a baby about it.â
âNo, I get it. I was⌠the past few days have been so hard because I thought you and Yuna were dating.â
Seokminâs head whipped toward you so fast you were scared he got whiplash. âReally?â
âYeah.â
âDoes that mean that you like me too.â
You felt a shy smile creep across your face. âYes, Seokmin, that means I like you too.â You chanced a look at him.
His grin was as bright as the sun and before you knew it, he was wrapping you in his arms and picking you up, spinning. You yelped and gripped his shoulders tight, whining, âSeokmin, put me down! Iâm getting dizzy!â
âSorry, sorry!â He set you down but didnât let go of you, arms wound around your waist. âIâm just so happy.â
âMe too.â You paused. âSo all those times you brought me flowers for the shop, they had some hidden love confession?â
âWell, not all of them.â
âThe red tulips?â
âYeah, those meant âtrue love.ââ
âWhat about the peonies?â
ââYouâre the most beautiful.ââ
âThe sunflowers?â
âAdoration and pure love.â
âTheââ
Seokmin cut you off, âCan I kiss you?â
âHell yeah.â
Seokmin pulled you closer and pecked you chastely on the lips. You scoffed playfully at him, âYou call that a kiss?â
âGuess I need you to show me how itâs doneââ
You dragged him into a passionate kiss and Seokminâs hands grabbed tightly at your hips. You slid your tongue into his mouth and you swore you heard him whimper when you tugged on his hair. You filed that away for later usage.
You parted with him, delighting in his half-lidded, glazed eyes and his still slightly-parted mouth. âOh, weâre going to have so much fun together,â you purred, planting a quick kiss to the corner of his mouth.
âYeah,â he said absent-mindedly. He brought your knuckles to his lips, pressing reverent kisses on each one.
âCanât wait to break the news to everyone.â
Seokmin groaned, âDonât remind me. I donât want to think about them right now.â He buried his face in your neck.
âDonât worry. Right now, itâs just us.â
You and Seokmin thought it would be better to actually deal with the rivalry between your shops before revealing that you were dating to them. You stopped about a block away from your respective stores â you pulled him in some alley for another quick make-out session â and you went ahead of him to Neo Tattoos and Piercings.
When you opened the break room door, Donghyuck instantly threw himself at you, wrapping his arms around your legs. âWeâre sorry!â he wailed.
âDonghyuck, get off her,â Doyoung scolded.
âWe really are sorry though, Y/n,â Mark said, trying to pry Donghyuck off of you.
âWe thought we were protecting you and each other,â Johnny said with a sigh. âBut we know that it wasnât the right way to go about it.â He helped Mark peel Donghyuck from you.
âPlease accept our humble apology cake,â Taeyong said, motioning to the break room table, where a cute, circular, pastel blue and white cake sat with green lettering: Weâre sorry for being immature assholes.
You approached the cake, glancing down at it. âHow did you guys even get this done on such short notice?â
âWe called Sicheng and his friend, Kun, is a baker and he had this cake available and we just asked him to write that,â explained Yuta.
âDo you like it?â Jungwoo asked.
âWhat flavor is it?â
âChocolate with vanilla frosting layers,â Taeil said.
You turned to your staff and said, âYou know I hate chocolate with vanilla layers, right?â
Donghyuck cried out, âWeâre sorry, Y/n!â
Doyoung grumbled, âI knew we should have gotten a different flavor. Taeyong, this is all your fault.â
âMy fault? Jaehyun ordered the cake!â
âWow, way to just throw me under the bus there.â
âGuys, guys!â You said before they could erupt into further hysteria. âIâm kidding, I actually love chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.â
âYouâre evil, you know that?â Johnny said.
âCall it payback,â you said with a small shrug. âNow, letâs dig in.â
As you ate the cake on paper plates and with plastic forks and knives, you said to them, âYou know you still have to apologize to the Fallinâ Flower staff, right?â
You felt the wave of dissatisfaction but Taeyong replied before anyone could say anything stupid. âWe understand and we will. We also hope that theyâll apologize to us.â
You nodded. âIâm sure Seokmin is seeing to that.â
âSpeaking of him,â Yuta said, swallowing his piece of cake, âare you going to tell him how you feel?â
You choked on your cake. âYou knew?â
Taeil hummed, âIt was kind of obvious,â just as Mark yelped, âWhat?â
âDid you seriously not know?â Jaehyun asked.
âNo!â
âMark, I swear youâre so dense,â Johnny said.
âI am not!â
Your staffs did, begrudgingly, go over to each respective shop and apologize to the other staff. Both you and Seokmin knew the ice wouldnât thaw overnight so, as a way of trying to quicken the process, you both begged Jungkook to let you use his penthouse to throw a party for your staff under the guise of it being the anniversary of both of your shops. Jungkook, being the good friend that he was, let you on the condition that nothing gets broken.
The party started out a little tense at first, given the long history between your shops and that neither you nor Seokmin told your staffs that the other would be there.
The ice thawed a lot quicker than you expected though. Joshua and Johnny bonded over growing up in America; Hansol, Wonwoo, and Mark traded rap lyrics and favorite musicians; Donghyuck took shots with Soonyoung, Doyoung, Dino, and Taeil; it turned out that Jaehyun and Seungcheol went to the same gym; Jihoon and Taeyong both had a passion for music production; Jeonghan and Yuta had a kindred fondness for pulling pranks on their friends; Jungwoo and Seungkwan became fast friends; and it turned out that you all shared a mutual friend with Jun and Minghao in Sicheng.
As you all sat around at Jungkookâs enormous table, exchanging stories and eating the food you ordered in, Seokmin held your hand under the table. You still hadnât told your staffs that you were dating yet, even after your conversation with the guys. You wanted to wait until the dust finally settled, which it seemed it had, but before you could say anything, Soonyoung poked Seokminâs neck. âDude, is that a hickey?â
Seokmin dropped his fork and his hand flew up to his neck to cover the spot Soonyoung touched. He let go of your hand and grabbed his phone, flipping the camera and tilting his head. Sure enough, there was a small bruise just under his jaw.
Whoops.
Yuta pointed accusingly at you. âThat was you, wasnât it, Y/n?â
âYeah, that was me.â You leaned your head on Seokminâs shoulder. âCan you blame me though? Iâm just so happy to have my boyfriend with me.â
And like that, the room descended into chaos with people cheering and shouting and whining, âWhy didnât you tell us!â
Seokmin put his phone down and rested his head on top of yours, muttering just loud enough for you to hear, âWho would have thought that weâd ever get here?â
âIf you told me weâd all be eating together and that weâd be dating, I would have told you to pinch me.â
âBy the way,â Seokmin said, his voice cutting through the din and quelling it, âI have something for you.â He reached into the inside pocket of his jacket and pulled out one long-stemmed red rose. âFor you.â He handed it to you.
Well, you didnât need the internet to know what a rose meant.

I drew. a lot for this. Also heads up for non RE mutuals this is going to be. confusing for you. I'm going to do my best to annotate and provide context but you are in for a wild ride.
Anyway long ass lore post for how Lisa and Robbie go from fighting to working together in this AU.
In the RE8 cannon all of the Dimitrescu daughters are made at the same time but for the sake of â¨the situations⨠I am going to change that. Lisa lived the longest as a human before being assimilated into the mold with a Cadou (infecting extension of the Megamycite). Technically her 'sisters' are older than her, as they were assimilated a while ago. Lisa has been a member of house Dimitrescu for about 2 years now. This puts her in this. Weird middle child zone. She wants to make her 'family' proud but she's also aware that what makes them proud isn't really the most achievable thing in the world (expecially with Bela to contend with. Older sibling overachiever to the maximum). She's got a certain degree of distance from them and sometimes wonders if she wasn't better off before all of this. Her memories are fuzzy but still there for the most part. She cant remember faces or names but she remembers feelings and situations. She doesen't remember families being like this (she wants OUT).
Chasing prey brought in is fairly standard for her. It's some of the only entertainment she gets. So when she catches Robbie exploring around the castle she has no idea that he's special in any way. He's just some new guy she gets to mess with before eating and DAMN he's FUN. If she didn't know any better she could almost think that he has experience being chased around (he does. he very much so does. all of RE7's worth). What she ALSO doesn't know is that Mother Miranda (big bad. Different from Lady Dimitrescu, who she refers to as 'mother') is planning on using Gabe (who is replacing baby Rose in this) to try and resurrect her dead kid with a 'perfect vessel' and this requires. uh. disassembly (in the base RE8 gameplay the reason Ethan goes to each house is because uhhhhhhhh his infant daughter has been dismembered and stored in jars and he needs to collect them so he can put her back together.... yeah). Robbie intervenes before this can get going and is instead going house to house because if he wants to get out of this stupid fuckass villiage he needs to collect the key components to unlock the gate keeping him in here (i need him to have a reason. to kill everyone. its important to me ok).
When Lisa finds out this random, but fun guy, she's been chasing who she thought was JUST SOME NORMAL GUY killed one of her sisters she mentally goes 'Oh. OH. THERES A CHANCE FOR ME TO GET OUT OF HERE'. That in conjunction with discovering Mother Miranda is planning on FULLY DISMEMBERING A CHILD she uh. Makes some decisions.
What you have to understand about her plans of matricide is that neither Lady Dimitrescu or her sisters can actually really fully die. Sure, their bodies are gone, but their consciousness is stored in the hive mind and they can reform later after gathering their strength. If she has to put her kinda shitty found family in time out for the sake of getting herself out of here + keeping her newly revived conscience clean she's absolutely going to do it.
(fuckin. backgrounds. dialogue. fuck. why can things not just take place inside of the void. DUKE MY BELOVED WE LOVE AND RESPECT DUKE IN THIS HOUSE HES A REAL ONE fuck now I got it in my head that he keeps trying to play matchmaker for them and i need to. go draw that because its too funny not to.)
Lisas plan involves this lab I had her mention in the comic above. It's where Robbie needs to go to synthesize more poison for the dagger of deaths flowers, and SUPPOSEDLY where a medicine that might allow her to go outside again might be (enemies of Lisas type become SIGNIFICANTLY weaker in the cold. She could try to bundle up but its still really not a good idea). She would love to go there herself, but it's in an area of the castle thats exposed to the cold of the outdoors.
The Two of them make a fairly decent team and Lisa finds herself having a LOT more fun hunting with someone else than she does on her own. They balance each other out pretty well; Robbie works primarily with guns so he can watch Lisas back while she's up close wrecking any grunts they run into. It's also pretty helpful having someone who can turn into a swarm of flies for puzzle solving purposes.
After all this Robbies trust for her increases SIGNIFICANTLY. He's still not really sure about her, but she's moved out of the 'active threat' classification into the 'kinda helpful' zone.
Lisa's plan has three ways it could go:
They all fail miserably and get sent to mental and physical time out in the megamycite.
They win and get to go free but either the medicine isn't there or it doesen't work. In which case she's just planning on getting as many coats as possible and Try-or-Die-ing it.
The medicine is there and she actually gets to roam free
Luckily for her, the medicine IS there, it DOES work, and Robbies sense of honor / noticing her usefulness (its hard to wage a one man war on an entire community of mutants ok you cant blame him for appreciating having some ACTUAL HELP for once) all align for the best possible scenario.
The cold does still affect her; her healing isn't as quick as it usually is and her increased strength / speed is a bit reduced, but she can go!! outside!!
She decided to stick with Robbie in getting out of the village as a whole. She doesen't really know what the world outside is like but anything has to be better than here (plus if she stays here she's probably getting shoved into the Megamycite by Mother Miranda PERMENANTLY and that just. wont do).
Also yes Lisa being with Robbie for the rest of his adventures means that she is there for Heisenbergs 'proposal'. She uh. Does not like that much.
this all made. more sense in my head I hope it at least makes a little sense out loud.

Please do soc reader x sodapop!!!! Iâm sure he would be one that wouldnât actually mind that youâre a soc
soc!reader x sodapop
warnings: suggestive hcs at end, separated ofc!
a/n: this is super cute!!! i definitely think Soda would be the most likely in all thr gang to end up w a soc, its his movie star handsomeness that leaves heads turning đ
you guys obv first met at the DX
you drove your white/pink mustang up to a gas pump and you walked into the store looking for (your) favorite candy bar
you ended up having to go to the register since she couldnt find it and might as well pay for her pump
and then BOOM eye contact. 2 extremely gorgeous people meeting each other
You couldâve sworn they sold [candy bar] here and tried scurrying around the store in all directions before finally giving up. You hesitantly walked up to the register waiting for the guy to turn back around.
Your jaw slightly dropped when he turned. He was stunning.
âHey pretty lady, do you need help with anything?â He smiled and your heart skipped a beat. His smile was absolutely perfect.
âH-hi.. yea, uh, wow.â You mentally facepalmed at your words escaping your thoughts. Your hand flew quickly to your mouth in embarrassment. He chuckles at your compliment.
âOh my gosh I am so sorry, I didnât mean to say that- Uh, Iâm looking for [candy bar] and was curious if you guys had it? Also I wanna pay for pump 3.â
âIts alright beautiful. Your lucky, we do have that bar, its my favorite too! Let me get it real quick for ya.â
He walks to the back and you cant help but start fawning over him. You blush and giggle thinking about how nice he was despite being a greaser, he called you pretty and-
He comes back and places the bar on the desk. âPump 3 you said, right?â
âYeah, thats right.â You reach into your white mini purse for some cash but he interrupts you.
âIts on me dollface, its not everyday a goregous girl like you walks into my gas station.â
âWow uhm I- I dont even know what to say, thank you-âŚ?â
âSodapop. Sodapop Curtis. Have a nice dayâŚ?â
âY/n. Y/n L/n.â You blush and shyly shake his hand.
âI hope I see you around gorgeous.â
He winks at you before walking to the back of the shop again. You stand there shocked, flushed and elated. You just got called gorgeous by him.
~~
When you get home, you find his number written on the back of the bar and you decide to give him a call. đ¤
Sodapop is used to getting alot of attention from girls, i mean heâs literally gorgeous.
But he always makes sure to tell them that he belongs to the most prettiest girl ever.
He wonât immediately tell them to go away if they arenât actually doing any harm, but heâll get more assertive if they become touchy
No matter how you see yourself physically, he thinks the WORLD of you
He is head over heels, whenever he loves someone, HE LOVES HARD
You guys took it slow, he explained what happened with Sandy very early on since he didnât want to get your hopes up
But you were very understanding to him, especially with taking things slow
He had such a huge crush on you after that, already so into you just from how nice you were
When you first met the gang, they already know so much about you from how much Soda talks about you
âHi everyone, um, I dont know if or what Soda has said about me but my name is Y/n.â
The gang all looked at you and gave small introductions, Two-Bit spoke up.
âAh so, youâre the broad who keeps making Soda giggle like a little kid at the telephone every night.â
You blushed and started laughing.
âStop it Two-bitâ Soda said giggling. (guys im picturing this like a girl saying stawpp itttt đ¤đ¤)
He likes referring to you as princess, dollface, any nickname that compliments you in some way (beautiful, pretty, gorgeous etc etc)
You guys usually hangout at his house, the DX, or you go with him and Steve (including whatever broad Steve is with) kindâve like double dates
He would so be the boyfriend who brings a boombox to your window, leave flower petals, light candles, EVERYTHING
You guys are so pda everywhere, the gang always makes jokes about it
Your parents were skeptical when first meeting him since 1. He was a grease and 2. He was a drop-out, but they realized how much of a gentleman he was
They sometimes still get a bit on the fence about ti, but for the most part, they see he isnt just a regular greaser (theyâre thinking of Dallas Winston.)
⢠more suggestive ones â˘
He loves praising you, he doesnât usually degrade or do anything on the meaner side but he can go to some extents if youâre into it
Not into full on quickies, but wouldnât mind receiving a bj from you in the back of the DX or fingering you if you guys need to let off some unattended âneedsâ
Always makes sure you finish first, he knows how girls lie about it and the first fee times you were intimate, he really made sure that whatever he was doing was actually making you feel good
His favorite body part of yours is your face, he loves the way you look at him with so much love, how pretty you look when sucking him off, the expressions you make when he is legit destroying you (â ď¸)
His favorite position is missionary. He feels like its the most loving position, he can see if your actually enjoying it, can change pace and how rough he is easily, but also really good access to your chest, neck and your clit
â Ë・âŕ¨ŕ§â Ë・â
a/n: pls send more reqs. idk what to write đ§ââď¸đ§ââď¸

luka couffaine headcanons
⢠luka is a pretty laidback person
⢠he sometimes stargaizes at night, just so he can look at the constellations
⢠he isn't actually afraid of snakes, in fact, he's actually considering having one as a pet
⢠he and juleka have a secret communication system through music. like when one of them asks a question or speaks they would respond by playing a few notes on an instrument and they would know what it means.
juleka: "luka, have you seen my phone?"
luka: *plays a few strings on his guitar*
juleka: "found it, thanks!"
____________________________________________
luka: "what happened to my toffee pudding?"
juleka: *plays a few strings on her bass*
luka: "really, jules? I was saving that!"
juleka: *plays some more strings on her bass"
luka: "how was I supposed to know that spaghetti was yours? I didn't even see your name"
juleka: *aggressively plays some more strings on her bass while also pouting and glaring at luka*
luka: "okay, it was half finished. but i was hungry and i wasn't really craving any other foods"
juleka: *plays some more strings on her bass*
luka: "whatever, i'll just buy some"
____________________________________________
⢠might want a houseboat when he's older. he just loves listening to the calm waves of the water when he's sleeping or meditating
⢠writes songs for marinette even when they broke up
⢠sometimes uses juleka's head as an armrest because he's taller than her. just a way for him to tease her and laughs when she gets annoyed.
⢠he has really good memory. this stems from his obsession with music. not to mention that he's pretty observant. like if someone places a book somewhere and they can't remember where they put it, luka would tell them where it is.
⢠luka's love for music comes from when his mom used to play guitar for him and juleka as a kid. in fact, the guitar was the first instrument he learned how to play
⢠luka goes to the pet store to buy mice because sass admits that mice are his favorite food.
⢠luka is pretty chill, it's rare for him to get angry. there are only a few times where he gets angry (silencer for example)
⢠remember when I said that luka isn't afraid of snakes? yeah, may I mention that snakes are his favorite animal? he's considering having a snake tattoo when he's an adult, although he's not sure if he wants it on his arm or on his back.
⢠an empath
⢠his favorite flower is the devil's trumpet
⢠studies psychology & philosophy
⢠he keeps his hair his natural color for a while because keeping his edges blue can be a pain in the ass since the color washes off very quickly. so he keeps it black until he gets bored and dyed them again
⢠he has chromesthesia
⢠he firmly believes in rebirth and that there is life after death
⢠reads past life regression books
⢠he doesn't really have any aspirations for fame. despite his dad being a famous rockstar, he doesn't want to be in the spotlight. he instead wants to teach music to other people, which is why his choice of a career is a music teacher
⢠he is a buddhist. he believes in the majority of buddhist beliefs, including samudaya
⢠allergic to seafood
⢠plans on getting just a few more piercings
⢠luka is explicitly against sass calling him master
⢠luka will sometimes play with sass' tail whenever the kwami sits in an elevated position
⢠he knows how to play the lyre (due to being viperion), keyboard, & the cello.
⢠he is very protective, especially towards juleka. he has gotten in trouble a lot as a child for starting fights with people that bullied her.
⢠despite being french, he does not like cheese. he once passive-aggressively (but in a good way) gave adrien deodorant because he couldn't stand the smell of camembert
⢠when luka is stressed. he plays notes on his guitar with his eyes closed and tries to guess what pitch the note is at
⢠he is pansexual i refuse to believe he's straight!
⢠jokingly refers to himself as an old man because he mostly hangs out with juleka's friends, who are all two years younger than him
