#im really gracious ngl

[yawarakaizai]

Could I Request Jouno with a quiet People pleaser that'd be so cute ngl >-<I'll leave the rest up to you, and how you see fit hehe

RECIPITENT Jouno Saigiku (BSD) NOTE omg ,,,..... so many things to say , , ,.. ... ... jouno is so aaaa aaaaaaAAA <3333 i love h im

Note; fluff! gn reader (they/them), overprotective jouno

we all know that jouno is a big tease to his peers. you weren't an exception to his regular 'insults' and remarks.

what confused him the most is how you'd never bite back.

when you first joined the hunting dogs, you were naturally a reserved and quiet person.

he'd try to bug you, but you never really budged in the way he'd expect.

you take every insult with a nod and unbothered, gracious smile.

jouno began to feel bad. he pitied you for what he thought was you being oblivious when in truth - you thought that he wouldn't like to see you genuinely hurt by his remarks.

against all odds, you two fell in love rather quickly.

to simplify it ; you fell first but he fell harder.

jouno didn't have any previous relationship experience so it was DIFFICULT to figure out his emotions. he had to go to the other members for help.

tecchou was as equally dumb if not dumber than him when it came to love. teruko began to blackmail him, threatening to tell you about his crush before he even had a chance to confess. fukuchi, well.. he was too drunk to give any proper advice. jouno found he was able to confide in tachihara who suggested he take you out somewhere nice and tell you straight-forwardly about how he felt.

and so, he did just that. taking you out to a lavish restaurant by the sea, you were amazed at the thought jouno would even do this much for you.

you were even more amazed when he took you out on the pier with the night sky hanging above and got down on one knee, presenting you with a ring as he confessed his overdue romantic attraction towards you.

bashfully, you informed him,

" ...jouno, that's for marriage. "

he's immediately like &^!*(£*&?@? NO!! I knew that. duh, I obviously knew that!!

you're giggling at his cover-up and shut him up by getting down as well and placing a chaste kiss on his cheek.

he lost it.

for the first time in his life, jouno was so stupidly in love!

he treasures you like gold, like a princess, like treasure, oohhh you are so so spoiled and prized by him!

on a mission his last victim just barely alive vomiting blood by jouno's shoes as they claw desperately for his mercy, then he just,, ''would you like to see my cute s/o?'' the guy is so confused. does he say no? but if he says yes and sucks up to jouno, maybe he'd be spared! jouno goes ahead and turns his phone screen to the bloodied man, showing him his lock screen - a selfie of you and jouno that you insisted was worthy of having as wallpaper. times like that made jouno wish he could see, but nevertheless, " aren't we just the cutest? " with a nervous gulp, the criminal would nod his head rapidly. " yeah! " he'd agree with jouno, unable to care less, really. " they're adorable, yeah! you're a lucky man! " jouno grinned, straightening his posture to tuck his phone away. " i really am a lucky man. a nice one, as well. " he put his sword away much to the relief of the man below. " i gave you the privilege of looking at an angel from the heaven you'll never reach. " jouno had switched his sword for a gun.

you were such a kind person. jouno thought you were a bit too soft and way too forgiving for your own good.

when he'd tease you, he'd KNOW when he went too far, but he was so confused when you wouldn't be upset. at least not visibily.

he could sense that your body would deflate in quiet sadness at some certain joke, but you'd never say anything about it.

you kept your feelings to yourself and soon enough he found out it was because you didn't want to upset him by telling him his humour wasn't right for you.

the day he approached you about it, his heart broke hearing you sob as you were uncertain with how to set boundaries properly.

you were always a ''i don't mind, if you wanna!'' person, letting others push you around and use you how they pleased.

since that confrontation, jouno was always sure to be gentle with you.

he'd still tease you every now and then, but he'd compliment you so, so much.

when you'd oversleep, he'd wake you up by peppering kisses all over your face instead of his past pulling-the-covers-off-and-opening-the-blinds routine.

although jouno still can't fully grasp the concept of a 'people-pleaser', he feared that you were scared of him or at least had been scared of him which made you unable to approach him about your dislike for his mean behaviour.

after that, he was able to spot more instances where you'd allow yourself be taken like a dumb doll by others.

when people would boss you around and you'd comply obediently.

no. he didn't approve of that.

while he'd happily threaten others - with you, he'd sit you down and warn you that your kindness can be exploited.

you were always too afraid to tell people 'no', so jouno would begin to teach you how. steadily, of course!

no one was going to take advantage of you, not with him around.

he cares so much for you, he's such a sweet bf to have, looking out for you.

plus, it was so funny that he - a sadistic, cruel, extroverted ex-criminal had a sweet, shy partner by his side!

Beifong babies appreciation post

This is gonna be a more self indulgent post. But if you spend any time on my blog, you know how much I adore the Beifong family, particularly Suyin and her children. And you know what I don't see enough appreciation for Suyin's babies, which makes sense, since they're side characters, but here's a lil ramble about them and some reasons why I love them.

Baatar Jr

Actually, I think Baatar is actually a very underutilised character for being Kuvira's supposed right hand man, as well as her fiancé.

He's technically the brains behind Kuvira's collosus, and probably much more.

As damaging as living in his father's shadow was for him, I do find it extremely adorable how he engineered all Baatar Sr's projects, it's really cute!

His loyalty to Kuvira and his love for her is admirable. It's honestly adorable, how much she means to him.

Btw mans stared into Korra's eyes while she threatened him im the Avatar state and laughed. Say what you want about him but he has balls.

The angst surrounding his involvement with Kuvira is absolutely delicious.

Like imagine turning your back on everyone you know and love for one person, only for then to turn on you and try to kill you with upur own creation?

And then everything you've worked for for 3 years is null and void? Gnarly

Also him being under house arrest with the family he betrayed? You could argue he got off really easy, which he did... but goodness gracious the angst.

Huan

I'm like 75% sure that he's a reference to The Dark One, one of Toph's metalbending students, which is actually really fun I love you emo metalbenders.

I always found non combative benders very interesting, especially when they use their bending for things like art, it's very cool.

While I think a Huan's character is made to mock "tortured abstract artists" a bit, he actually isn't terribly caricaturised?

Like... he has a pretty clear ideology and moral compass, and he sticks to his guns, even when threatened. He clearly values personal freedom and freedom of expression, and is willing to stand up for it.

I also love headcanoning that he had a close relationship with Aiwei. Since some of Huan's ideals match up more or less with Red Lotus ideology, which makes me wonder if Aiwei did subtly indoctrinate Suyin's children.

Huan and Ikki's friendship is really cute too lol.

His design is also really cool ngl

Opal

MY BABY AHHH 🧡 honestly my fave female tlok character.

Free her from the heterosexual love interest dimension she deserves so much better lol.

Like, I really dislike Bopal as a ship, and part of it is because of how much of a disservice it does to both characters. But most anti Bopal takes I see are also horrifically anti Opal.

Honestly, Opal just gets a surprisingly large amount of hate in genral? Like why? People call her annoying and a brat/ a knockoff Korra and she's barely done anything lmao

Opal's is very interesting, her journey to independence, her unseen development between B3 and B4, her firece loyalty to her family despite her separation from them

A lot of people criticise her attitude towards Kuvira, but honestly, she was quite rational in her anger? I also think she should have been allowed to hold a grudge against Bolin for longer, like yes he redeemed himswlf somewhat when rescuing her family, but it does feel really shallow and a fast way of tying up a pretty complex storyline.

Her arc reminds me very much of Toph's in atla, which is bittersweet since we see how that ended for Toph.

I love her lil pouty face ahh.

Wei and Wing

Genuinely. Might be my fave underdeveloped side characters.

Avatar has a habit of making very interesting twin duos and these two are no exception.

I really like their strong bond with their mother, they really are the most mamma's boys to ever mamma's boy.

Similarly to Opal, the twins' firece loyalty to their family and city is really sweet, but also there's a lot of potential for angst here. Like, Opal gets to see the world and adventure, but the twins are probably stuck in Zaofu forever.

The twins also are the only ones of their siblings upholding that "Beifong metalbender" archetype that Toph started. I think there is a bit of pressure on them, ad they are the "golden boys" of the family

I'm also a sucker for when benders work together/combine their skills so seeing the twins work together is really sweet.

Also. Gay™️. [Insert longass ramble about weilin lol]

I actually find the small differences in personality between them that we are shown. Where Wei is a bit more snooty and competitive, Wing is very playful and outward with himself. I like picking their differences apart.

Okk.. that's it my ramble for today us over 😭 I love the Beifong babies so much and wish there was more appreciation of them lol

5 DILFS of the John Wick franchise who aren’t John Wick: very put together list by me and I’m definitely not writing this after getting up from like an hour nap

5.) Kirill - he may not be a father but Daniel Bernhardt is so he counts. I love how constantly stressed he looks in every scene and at this point we might aswell consider Iosef as his kid from how many grey hairs he has because of him💀 anyways, dilf bodyguard. Pros: strong, hot, actually a quick-thinker, cool. Cons: pushed a woman, will continue to push women.

4.) Viggo - what else do you want. Mob boss, actually does have a kid, probably the most coolest mafia boss I’ve ever seen. He’s the funniest guy ever and also I will romanticize his actions from hell to back. He’s also a shit father but let’s not talk about that🥰 (He literally put his son in danger) (He punched said son two times) (He ALSO grieved his son BEFORE he died). Pros: generally powerful socially, has networks and influence across New York, the only villain who knew John’s power. Cons: shit father, punches his own kid, still stupid enough to fight John in the rain without a weapon but at least he looked cool doing so.

3.) Harbinger - im sorry I find Clancy Brown hot that’s all there is to this. He’s enigmatic, he serves as a (kind of) father figure to Marquis if you really think about it. He’s also dressed in black always, and also he has a sick ass scar. John Wick Chapter 4 screenplay calls him a “behemoth of a man”. Michael Finch and Shay Hatten’s words not mine. Pros: actually chill, wiseful and mindful👍, the most respectful High Table emissary. Cons: high table emissary.

2.) Koji - Hirouyuki Sanada with a sword. He’s also a father of a very mean daughter which is funny cause he’s actually really chill (what is it with mean kids and their chill dads in this movie series??) anyways. He owns a cool ass hotel, he’s hot, I don’t think he has a wife (or a husband.) Pros: he’s super respectful and gracious!!! Also, really puts relationships above all things. Cons: he gets betrayed.

1.) Caine - now we have mean dad and chill daughter. Well, we don’t know exactly if Mia is chill yet but she kinda looks chill so. Anyways, Caine!! Ngl the cuntiest person in JW4 I don’t care if John Wick is there or Akira or Vincent, Caine is by far the coolest fucking guy in that movie and I will die on this hill. Pros: will fight for his family, funny, won’t kill certain types people. Cons: pissed off a friend’s daughter😨

[sadie-bug345]

Can I get a sugar mommy/daddy gn s/o x greasers headcanons?! (nothing creepy, and no age gap like that but I’m talking if like they dated a really rich soc who got them anything they wanted) I just think this would be super hilarious and kind of a good concept for a dynamic

Much love thanks youuuuu!

ILYSM and shore🫶🫶BTW IM doing these hcs with @urlocalnonbinarybastardwrites ‼️ check out their blog🫶🥰

ponyboy:

guy lowk balling after you start treating him to material things

like don’t get me wrong he’s really gracious

but everyone starts noticing his newer jeans and how you guys always go to nicer, more expensive restaurants

its honestly really cutie

and he always says thanks no matter what like even if it’s actually not that big of a deal he’s like

”🧍‍♀️🫵😀no. thank YOU”

LMAOO

johnny:

probably barely understands what’s going on ngl

just cause he has never been treated that nicely when it comes to material things

so it makes him kinda uncomfortable at first

cause money was such a tight subject in his awful family that he’s like NO don’t get me that ring and when you do he genuinely appreciates it

probably doesn’t really express it though, other than a quick “thanks😀”

but that’s ok cause bro has had a hard knock life asf✊

sodapop:

goes a LITTLE crazy with the shopping

but for genuine stuff like clothes or shoes or smth

not like TWO BIT (more on him later)

ANYWAYS

once he finds out you’re paying for dinner he gets MANY apps and ‘serts

as the middle child he kinda has to try a bit harder to get attention when it comes to his brothers

but he really appreciates all you do for him🫶

darry:

SAYS NO TO YOU PAYING FOR STUFF

but in like, an affectionate way🥰‼️

just cause he’s already used to having to work for everything he’s gotten

he doesn’t really like you paying for him bc of that

but you just keep. insisting. and he’s very thankful

bc he gets to save money on like groceries or smth actually important😭

dally:

probably just like

”*scoff* no.”

he just seems the type to not accept that cause he has an EGOOO

like if he and cherry (or someone like cherry) went on a date and they offered to pay he’d be like 🤨

“uh…what?”

but that doesn’t mean he’s paying for your luxury fashion sprees

yall just go to wherever he can afford so like

…the dumpster🧍‍♀️

LMAOOOO

two-bit:

GOOFY

i feel like i start all his hcs with “GOOFY” but here we go again

probably buys candy or cigarettes or pranks just dumb stuff

and he comes back with an armful of crap and you’re like

”o-okay then🧍‍♀️”

it’s funny though cause you learn to lighten up a bit

eventually you cut his money supply off tho LMAO

steve:

probably doesn’t really notice

but his household life SUCKS too so he seems like a johnny type reaction dude

just awkwardly says thanks

BUT

he really does remember all the nice things you do for him that you didn’t have to

very sweetie🥰

ANYWAYS MY INBOX IS OPENNN🫶‼️‼️

Beatrice was doing what she planned to do, which meant taking care of herself. This was her last week at the bar, so she wanted to be at her best both physically and mentally. With her pregnancy more and more apparent, she knew questions would be asked and she didn’t want to make people wonder ‘oh are you pregnant?’ they usually dropped the ‘again’ after a while.

She wets her throat with some water, hearing Nicole babbling happily in the living room as they both wait for Michael to show up. He wanted to stay with Nikki tonight, since Hannah and her son are there too and it’d be nice for them to meet finally. She smiles softly, shaking her head, because never in her life she’d think her former bully would date her brother and she’d be very okay with that.

She didn’t speak to Rooster that week, which was okay, she knew he was very busy with everything and tried to calm her heart because he was completely fine and alright. She leans back against the counter, turning her head to where she could see Nicole watching tv with a huge smile on her face. She sent him a picture of her teeth, they were fully out now, well, the bottom ones were.

It was adorable, she wrote in the message, she is no longer bothered by it which is really good. I hope the pictures help you while away Roos :) 

She stared at the message for a few seconds, the sprinkles of hope filling her heart thinking that maybe he’d see it now and immediately reply, but of course it didn’t happen. She sighed, slipped her phone back in her pocket and ignored it for the rest of the day because wishing for it to happen didn’t mean it would.

So now she’s just there, by the kitchen, waiting until it was time to go. Beatrice sipped her water again, then leaned back to look at the glass, smacking her lips, “Strange,’ she mutters, “I think I’m tasting something that isn’t there. Or there’s some soap in the glass, tastes weird.”

“Maybe you’re just saying that to keep those pretty lips clean,gorgeous.”

She could hear his voice right beside her and she couldn’t help the smile that spread over her face, her cheeks warming up, “Is that supposed to mean you want a kiss?” she asks the nothing and is surprised when  she feels his huge hands cupping his shoulders and the warm of his front pressing up against her back. She closes her eyes briefly, she could smell his cologne.

“Could be.” his disembodied voice says “I do like kissing you.”

“You do, everywhere it seems.”

‘Oh yeah, just you wait. I’m going to kiss you all over.”

“I’ll be heavily pregnant by the time you get back.” she laughs softly, leaning back against his chest. He was solid, “Are you sure?”

She feels his lips on her face, the tickle of his mustache against her skin and the curl of his smile before he whispers, “I’m always sure when it comes to you,gorgeous.” he says “Wait for me.”

“Always.” and she leans back a bit more, but this time her eyes open and she remembers she’s…at home, alone and that he’s so far away from them. She sighs, placing the empty glass in the sink, reminding herself to wash it once she gets home from the bar later.

Beatrice takes a moment to collect herself,rubbing her temples and clenching her jaw, the brief fantasy of Rooster's presence fading away. She knows that longing for him won't change the reality of their situation, no matter how much she tries. With a heavy sigh, she pushes the thoughts aside and turns to where Nicole was, crossing her arms over her chest, her boots soles hitting the floor and making the little girl look back at her.

“Mama!”

“Hi,honey!” she coos, picking her up from the floor so they could sit on the couch together, “Are you enjoying your show?” Dr.Chimp was giving a fish CPR by making it chug water…that’s a bit weird, wasn’t it?  Nicole giggled, as if agreeing with her mother, letting Beatrice hug her close as they watched tv.

She checked her phone for the time, then looked at the window in hopes to see Michael’s car, “Your uncle is late.” She gently strokes her daughter's hair as she says that, feeling the thin and soft baby hairs touching her finger, as she glances at the window one more time, she notices the darkening sky and wonders why Michael is running late. 

Just as she starts to worry, and was about to call their mother, the sound of a car parking on the front of the house catches her attention. Relief washes over her as she sees Michael stepping out of the vehicle through the curtains, “Finally.” she says goodbye to the dogs, who are now happily asleep, Eleanor being the only one half awake. She stands up with Nicole in her arms, excitement evident in her light green eyes as she vibrates with joy.

"Uncle Michael's here!" she exclaims, her voice filled with joy. She opens the front door and walks out onto the porch to greet him, the second her daughter sees Michael, she lets out a happy squeal. Michael approaches with a smile, his arms open for a hug.

"Hey, sis," he says, giving her a warm embrace. "Sorry I'm late. Traffic was a nightmare."

Beatrice returns the hug, rolling her eyes. "It's alright, I forgive you." she replies, her voice laced with affection. Nicole wriggles even more, holding onto Michael’s shirt and tugging on the fabric to call his attention.

Michael's eyes light up as he glances at Nicole, who is looking at him with the cutest smile in her face, ‘Oh there’s my little booger!”

“Michael.”

“She is a little booger.” he smiles, booping his niece’s nose and earning a giggle, “I have everything ready for tonight, by the way. Hannah is just waiting at home right now and -” his sister gives him a knowing look, one that makes him stop and sigh, “Yes, we’re living together.”

“Has it been long?”

“Since Christmas.”

“Since Christmas!” she laughs, “And you didn’t tell anyone about it, obviously.”

Michael looked like the child who was just reprimanded for eating a cookie, looking away from her, “You know how everyone is. Anyway, don’t you have to go to the bar and work? And I’ll take you there?”

Beatrice nods, her playful smile never fading as she walks over to the car. "Yeah, I was just waiting for you and you know it’s quite a drive there, and I’ll have some questions for you.”" she replies, readjusting Nicole in her arms. "And thanks, I appreciate the ride."

Michael sighs, scratching his head before opening the door so she could put Nikki first,Beatrice buckles Nicole into her car seat, making sure she's comfortable and secure only to step back “Done! Now I go.” she walks around her brother who looks less than amused at her reaction, hearing him close the back door as soon as she gets inside. She’s already looking at him when he sits on the driver’s seat.

“Stop it.”

“What?”

He turns on the car, giving her a shifty glare, “You look like Marina.” he pauses, “It’s not a compliment.”

“She’s still our sister,Mikey.” and she purposefully used the nickname because she knew he’d hate it, “So…it is a compliment yeah.”

Michael rolls his eyes at Beatrice's teasing, but a smile tugs at the corner of his lips. "Fine, fine. It's a compliment then," he concedes, starting the car and pulling out of the driveway. "But let's focus on more important things, like your last week at the bar. Are you feeling okay about it?"

Beatrice leans back in her seat, resting her head against the headrest and deciding that she was okay not talking about those news yet…for now. "Yeah, I'm feeling good about it. It's the right time for me to step away and focus on the babies." She looks out the window, watching the familiar streets pass by. "Plus, being visibly pregnant behind the bar would have raised a lot of questions. I'd rather leave on a high note and not have people gossiping about it."

“More than they already do?’

“More than they already do.”

Michael nods in understanding. "Makes sense. You deserve some time off and a chance to relax before the little ones arrive." He glances at Beatrice, concern in his eyes. "Speaking of which, have you been taking it easy? I know how stubborn you can be sometimes."

Beatrice gasps in offense “I’m not stubborn! I just…I just,well I've been trying, Mikey. Promise. I've been cutting back on my hours at the bar, taking more breaks, and making sure to get enough rest." She reaches over and pats her baby bump affectionately. "The little co-pilots here seem to be doing just fine."

"That's good to hear," Michael says, his voice filled with genuine relief. "You know we're all here to support you, right? If you ever need anything, just let us know. Mom, Dad, and I are just a phone call away." he pauses, “And Gui would fly from New York to see you.”

“Yes,I know.”

“So is Bri but you know, she’s a lot busier and such.”

Beatrice smiles warmly at her brother, touched by his words. "I know, Mikey. And I appreciate it more than you know,I know you all will be there for me. I couldn't ask for a better support system." she looks back outside, following the line of palm trees she was so used to seeing, “And it’s going to help along the way too,since Roos is away.”

Michael glances at Beatrice, his expression softening. "Yeah, I can imagine it's tough with Rooster being away. But hey, you're a strong woman, Bea. You've got this. And when he comes back, it'll be even better."

Beatrice smiles, . "Thank you, Michael. Looks like Hannah has been a good influence on you." he sighs in annoyance, looking at the stop sign instead of his sister, “You’d usually throw a joke in there too.”

“I’m waiting for the segue.” he mutters, “Also don’t tease me, Leo already teased me enough.” and he shouldn’t have done that because now she wanted to know, “Okay, listen, just because the two of you are the youngest of all six of us that doesn’t mean you have to tease your older brother.”

“You tease us all the time!”

‘Yeah, but that’s my job.” he says with his hands up in the air, as if it was obvious, “I’m the…fourth oldest. Shit I had to count in my head, but yeah,I’m the fourth oldest, and the coolest one, therefore that’s my job.”

Beatrice’s soft ‘ah’ followed by her smile was the answer he was expecting. "Of course, the self-proclaimed 'coolest' one. But don't worry, I won't steal your thunder." 

Michael smirks, glancing at her briefly before focusing back on the road. "Good to know you understand your place, little sis." He teases, emphasizing the word 'little' to get a reaction out of her.

Beatrice narrows her eyes at him, feigning offense. "Little? I'll have you know I'm only a few inches shorter than you. That doesn't make me little." 

“You are five seven.” he points to himself, “I’m six two, so��you are little.”

She pokes her finger into his side, eliciting a surprised yelp from him."Okay, okay, I take it back! Jesus woman!" Michael chuckles, swatting her hand away playfully. "You're not little, you're just vertically challenged."

Beatrice raises an eyebrow, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Oh, so now you're making height jokes? I thought we agreed to be nice to each other. You were always the nicest to me too,so."

Michael laughs, shaking his head. "Alright, fair point. No more height jokes, I promise." He glances at her, “But you are short- OW!”

-

McAllister’s plan was risky, more than either of them thought. Rooster, while appreciating the pilot’s suggestion, chose to tell him the cons of it and how they couldn’t ‘head into the wolf’s den with guns blazing’ because it made no sense. McAllister deflated a bit, apologizing as if he insulted Rooster’s family but the other pilot just laughed and said it was fine, “Just remember this,” he gestures to the base and the officers walking by, “It’s a group effort. That could work if it was just one jet.”

"I appreciate the suggestion, McAllister," Rooster said, his voice firm but gentle. "But we can't rush into this without careful consideration. We're dealing with a dangerous situation, and we need to approach it strategically."

McAllister nodded, his enthusiasm dimming. "I didn't mean to underestimate the risk, sir."

Rooster chuckled, placing a reassuring hand on McAllister's shoulder. "No offense taken, you are still young. We're all in this together, alright? It's just that going in with guns blazing wouldn't be the smartest move."

McAllister's disappointment began to fade, replaced by a glimmer of understanding. "I see what you mean. It's not about individual heroics but about working as a cohesive unit."

"Exactly," Rooster affirmed. "And since we are together in this, we’ll have to be extra careful."

McAllister nodded, "You're right, sir.” Rooster sighed because there was no way he was going to call him by his call sign any time soon “I got carried away with my idea, but I appreciate you bringing me back to reality, sir."

"Good. Remember, we're all here to support each other and achieve our mission. Your ideas and input are valuable, but it's crucial to assess the risks and make informed decisions." he arches his brow up to his hairline, “Don’t forget that.”

"I understand, sir," McAllister replied, determination gleaming in his eyes. "I won't let my enthusiasm cloud my judgment again.” He makes a brisk move to leave but stops midway, “May…may I leave…sir?”Rooster nodded with a smirk. "Thank you,sir! I appreciate it sir!" He turns on his heel and leaves the office, in turn leaving Rooster alone and sitting on his desk while holding his chin up with his interlaced hands.

He pulls out another map of the area, running his eyes at every little thing they took note at the first surveillance. He grabs one of his pens and circles the anti-aircraft weaponry, writing a little note of ‘how to evade?’ they couldn’t just turn the left and charge in directly. Rooster knew they needed a more calculated approach.

As he stared at the map, Rooster's mind raced, analyzing the enemy's defenses and searching for weak points. He knew that a frontal assault would be suicide, but they needed to find a way to neutralize or bypass the anti-aircraft weaponry.

He reached for his notebook and started jotting down ideas. He considered the possibility of distracting the enemy's attention with a diversionary tactic while a smaller team carried out a stealthy attack. Another option was to locate any blind spots in the enemy's radar coverage and exploit them to slip through undetected.

Rooster's brow furrowed as he weighed the pros and cons of each plan. He needed to consider the capabilities of their own aircraft, the skills of his team, and the intelligence they had gathered. It was a delicate balance between taking risks and ensuring the safety of his squad.

“No wonder this is going to take six months.” he mutters, “This is hell.” 

“Having problems?”

He smiles, hearing her soft voice behind him, the lavender smell coming up his nose, “A little. Just trying to figure out what to do,gorgeous.” he feels her arms wrap around his shoulders and her head prop on top of his, she was there. “Any tips you’d like to give me?’

“Oh,I’m not good at this Roos.” he hears her embarrassed laugh followed by her quiet pondering “I’m not that smart.”

“You are the smartest person I know.” he replies immediately, “Smarter than me.” he hears her scoffing, ready to say something back, “I don’t lie and you know it.”

The invisible Beatrice chuckled, her breath warm against his neck. "Well, if you insist. I'll give it a shot." She tightened her embrace, and he leaned on her touch "How about um…" she began, her voice calm and soothing,"How about utilizing the element of surprise?" she suggested, her voice filled with thought. "Think about ways you can catch the enemy off guard?Is that possible? Like when,in Mass Effect 3, Shepard wanted the krogans and the turians to attack the reaper in Tuchanka!"

Rooster's smile widened because he knew what she was talking about, he enjoyed the game just like she did. "A diversion could work. I can work with that."

“Is that good?”

He smiles more, “it’s great.” he feels the weight of her head on his shoulder, the soft strands of hair tickling his neck before he sighed, “...I miss you.”

“I miss you too.”

“Are you okay?” he waits for a response, but it doesn’t arrive, “Bea?” he asks again, the weight on his shoulders is gone and he turns around only to see the wall behind him with the several papers pinned onto an old cork board. His eyebrows lower as he looks back at the maps, then sighs heavily, “Fuck.” he drops the pen to rub his eyes, then press his face into his palms, “These might be the longest six months…longer than the ones when we were still dating.” he flicks his eyes to the map from between his fingers.

And then he blinks.

Because he just noticed something he hadn’t before. ‘...that’s an opening.” he mutters, “In the mountains, that’s an opening.”

Rooster's heart raced as he stared at the map, his eyes fixed on the newly potential route that could lead them closer to their objective while bypassing the heavily fortified areas.

He quickly grabbed a ruler and traced the path from the opening on the map. It seemed to offer a way to avoid the enemy's anti-aircraft defenses and potentially provide a more covert approach. It was a risk, but it could also be their best chance at success. He couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh,”...just like Shepard thought.” he mutters, “Fuck,Bea, thank you. This is going to give us even more time to prepare.”

With renewed determination, Rooster started drafting a revised strategy, incorporating the element of surprise and utilizing the newly discovered opening in the mountains, an opening that would require a better look but he had no idea why they hadn’t noticed it before. 

As he worked, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for Beatrice's presence, even if it was just a memory or an echo in his mind. Her suggestion had sparked the idea that led to this breakthrough, and he knew she would be proud of him

“Thanks gorgeous.” he smirks, “You never disappoint me.”

[hjnxx]

ok just bc im curious. and u dont have to answer this but in a parallel universe, if hijinxx was aespa, who would be who? also if u had to make them bg additions, what groups would they be in?

also im excited to know more about yuina’s secret relationship 👀 i can relate to her so much bc i too left a major career field for a newfound passion. im about to parasocialize w her so hard lmao. /j

AHYEON -> KARINA. i say this mainly because she the oldest, but ive seen many clips of rina babying the other girls and like. thats ahyeon to a t. she loves her girls so much. it’s not really about her position in the group and more about who ahyeon is—karina to me exudes maturity and poise, yk? there’s a quietness to her, even when she acts a lil silly. / as for what boy group i would put her in…. definitely ateez. she was the first female trainee to approach the boys and form a bond with them, so they get along really well. her and hwa in the same room… those are literally my parents sorry.

MICHA -> NINGNING. originally i was going to give ning to yuina but honestly… with the kind of allure ning had to me when i was first getting into aespa? definitely micha vibes. like remember when people were calling ning britney spears’ prodigy??? micha. vibes. the stardom quality, the stage presence, the aura?? heo micha the woman that you are. goodness gracious. / right off the bat, im putting her in nct. she screams 127 to me. ( she probably intimidates the fuck out of the trainees tho LMAO… tyong would love her tho. she gives neo vibes. ) ngl if she was an smrookie she most likely would have made the aespa lineup.

YUINA -> WINTER. they both just have that cutesy vibe to me. stupid pretty and can really kill it on stage. but total menaces. i feel like i see a lot of winter biases when im in aespa territory and its the same for aces, too. yui is definitely most biased ( tho micha is not far behind… ) out of the four girls. / hmmmm. maybe seventeen. yui doesn’t have siblings but she definitely gives ‘has a ton of older brothers’ vibes. into the performance unit she goes. i feel mingyu and cheol would have the biggest soft spot for her.

EUNJI -> GISELLE. i feel like every time i see giselle she’s always either laughing at something stupid or saying something incoherent ( ex : stupid cheese cat karina clip ) and like. yeah. eunji vibes. / to be honest my first thought was riize……… sohee would vibe with her character i feel. but then i was like. skz…… her and jeongin would be like two peas in a pod. ying and yang. eunji is not a menace like he is but she’s so good at the innocent act lmfao. she’d fit right in ( and probably have a fat crush on minho. me too girl. )

After a really harsh awful week...life decided to give me some encouragement...

[rockheadcd]

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER.

name: paloma, but i go by ovan here. either works! or fonze(worth) hee hoo.

pronouns: i really don’t have a preference ngl. but she/her if you need a choice.

preference of communication: discord, but i always start with tungie ims because i typically don’t add people right away until after we’ve had a conversation.

name of muse(s): steven, roark, adaman.

other muse(s): falkner @/zephyricd, and i have an au for my oc @/fonzeworth. 

experience/how long (months/years?): uhhh since 2011 or so ( i digress this really means nothing to me, like just bc i started writing in 2011 doesn’t mean it was like GOOD until like 2016 LOL..... )

platforms you’ve used: whirled, sms ( no fr ), msn/windows live, skype, discord, tumblr, deviantart, forums 

best experience: honestly... a lot of the stuff i wrote with my late girlfriend on @/amberenigma. this post fucking slaps and it was one of the last ones we did here. for this rpc, though, it hands down has to go to the clownery that spiraled out of hisui verse with @/electrivolt. this one in particular! 

rp pet peeves/deal breakers: i don’t follow/back blogs that don’t have their posts tagged, hands down. long posts are the same thing, because it really freaking sucks on mobile. otherwise, i’m personally not a fan of overkill on ooc, especially when posted in a way that’s basically as invasive as possible. i do tend to clean up my follow list bc if i wanted that sort of thing i could just........go to my priv twt. and lastly, that’s kind of mostly bugged me specifically writing in this rpc, if you don’t have the means to format a post......draft it and save it for later. it won’t hurt anything to wait.

fluff, angst or smut: depends on the dynamic, really. some interactions thrive towards one or two, sometimes even all of them. i probably write smut the least as i’m very picky on who i will write it with, and it certainly isn’t on this blog specifically to begin with. overall, i probably lean towards fluff and angst, but i present a third challenger: slice of life.

plots or memes: either works, but memes probably make it easy to have a more non-committal, casual interaction that has the option to be as committed and thought out as a plotted thread. my energy doesn’t really differ between the two ( but i just take forever to respond to asks more often than not q_q ).

long or short replies: whatever fits the post. sometimes the muses have a lot to say ( formal apology to you know exactly who you are ).

best time to write: sometimes a noodle from the flying spaghetti monster just presses down on my head and suddenly i have like five drafts done at 2am and other times i simply do not write for like 6 months. i fight constant fatigue so lately, i’ve been drafting things during work during the mid-morning when i have two gracious hours of functioning like a normal person. it’s a nightmare.

are you like your muse(s): kind of. we share different facets of personality, interests, and life experiences. but no one is quuuite a 1:1 to this village idiot. :^)

[sailfish-serum]

Is Rampage/Silverbolt a crackship if I can feasibly write a plotfic around the pairing? Because. Rampage/Silverbolt is good, actually

HONESTLY. They would work really well together ngl

Ok ok so like, it really is a good pairing, Silverbolt is a very steady and caring individual, and keeps well underpressure and is an amazing leader,,

but Rampage on the other hand? He lashes out pretty easily at friends and enemies alike (a very fussy boy) but absolutely ADORES learning about anything

So Silverbolt would be able to handle Rampage (and probably calm him down or help him through it), and Rampage would 100000% sit down and listen to Silverbolt info dump about anything.

Of course due to Rampage's attitude, knowledge and anger issues, he's bound to know a few sore spots and fights can get a lil dirty :( though they both always come around and apologize in the end, Silverbolt first more often than not.

All in All: what excellent lads! Goodness it never would've crossed my mind for these two. That fic would be a blessing

[if-mirrormine]

some people are taking this fun pet thing VERY seriously; and, im ngl, if i was you, id be weak at fighting off the urge of being annoyed and telling people to "touch some grass" in the tags. it's one thing to vocally be all "MY TEAM IS THE BEST TEAM", but its another to be all "that team is the WORST" like are you alright, bruh?? you're getting a lot of negative emotions attached to a poll thats meant to just be a bit of fun

which is just a very round-about way to (clumsily) try to compliment you. both in the sense of "wow, people are already THIS attached to your game?? nice job!!" and in a "you are so very strong, my patience would be thinning so hard" (while also nudging to the fanbase to please be more polite and gracious). i already finished with my vote/s and whatever happens, happens; ill be happy with whatever name is picked, im glad we get a pet and a cat of all things isnt a bad choice. thanks for adjusting your story for us to be able to have this fun round of polls, after seeing us have so much fun with the idea in your inbox. you didnt have to do that and it was super cool of you to go out of your way like this. and, considering you could have given us a pet you decided all the details on, it was a really sweet idea that you wanted us to get the privilege of having more of a hand on the pet's creation after accidentally setting off its existance. you owe us nothing, and giving us free access (to the demo if nothing else) to a project youve worked so hard on of yours is a gift in of itself. doing this in addition, every part of this, is above and beyond. i jope everyone drops a thank you in your inbox, but if not, i at least will: thank you so much for that. and for everything else too. this has been fun ♡

you're very sweet anon, thank you!! i like including you guys in stuff like this and i plan to do so again in the future, it's (mostly) nice to see you all get so passionate about this kinda stuff, makes me special :)

[firemblem-fics]

ok i finally have the courage to write this- i absolutely love your writing! 🤧💞 i remember reading your yuri x reader headcanons and i had a goofy smile while reading cause it was so cute- and yes i like every single one of your posts cause of those reasons- have a nice day!

goodness gracious you're the sweetest! i see your name on my notifs and ngl it makes me smile seeing you on there! it's so nice to know someone really enjoys my stuff 🥺👉👈 i always always always wanna make my people happy and im so glad i'm doing that!! and i know anxiety don't work dis way, but please don't be nervous to message me any time, i love it sm!! i understand it tho- sometimes i can't message creators i like too !!

[sereniv]

Hi! Yaqui anon (again lol) So I was doing some thinking about what you were saying in your responses, and ngl, I think I’m at another crossroads. You really emphasized the importance of connection when it comes to reconnecting, and I realized that, to my knowledge, there are no family members, either immediate or extended, who are enrolled in the tribe or practice the culture. The only thing I have is basically a family story and information online that could honestly be inaccurate (I think I mentioned that I saw tribes connected to ancestors in my research online, though I’d ideally like to actually view the uploaded records and not rely on information that anyone could input and that isn’t actually based on data from records (literally just learned that today so yayyy 🙃🙃) Unfortunately I can’t view the records that might have ancestors’ tribes listed on them without a paid subscription to the site.

I’m not going to lose all hope of trying to reconnect just yet and I’m still going to reach out to relatives, distant and not so distant, for any info, but rn it’s looking like reconnecting and claiming I’m Yaqui may not be my place. I won’t lie and say the thought isn’t upsetting to me, but I know I’ll get over it, and better to figure that out and come to terms with it now than insert myself in spaces that aren’t mine. If you have any advice— maybe I’m missing something— I’d appreciate it very much! Thank you again for being so gracious and informative with your former replies. Take care and be well 🌸

Ill put this one under a cut just in case it gets long. sorry if its not best written. i had to take an edible for body spasms so im a little drowzy

connection isnt just to family since someone could not have family or want contact and thats fine. my dad is Yaqui but hes not Yoeme. hes just Yaqui by blood. Also hes a bigot. He SAYS he cares and wish that he could learn but i think hes lying and would rather just be white. he also says no one on the yaqui side wants to talk to him. like huh really? i wonder why, trumper??

connection is more for community. connection looks a lot of ways, not just talking to people, not just learning. like for me, language is what makes me feel connected. even though im just learning.

for someone else it might be activism. it might be talking to someone in the same boat as you. it might be listening to music, or gettinf envolved. connection could be donating for projects that benifit the community if thats all you can do.

and especially for reconnecting its not going to happen all at once. its going to be rocky, and its going to be drawn out. there is never going to be a time where it all falls into place and you can check reconnected off on a list

it can be as much or as little. but there has to be some tether. like i said, just taking a title and then doing absolutely nothing isnt it. like..

ok so im trans and disabled. big identities for me. i never know when pride is, or trans day of visibility. i dont know news about trans issues unless i see it on my dash. sometimes if i read stuff that doesnt effect me, or even does, i dont feel anything. or rather im not emotionally affected. basically, i support trans rights 100%, just sometimes some things feel meh even if its dire. if that makes sense. i still care!

but being trans makes me happy and proud and that is just who i am. i am always trans. even when im not in the community actively. and this can also be attributed to passing, white privilege, etc.

and with disability its the same, even if its something that is very relevant to me. thats just how my adhd mind is.

and i felt bad about it for a long time bc i felt, of im really trans or really disabled then i have to be an activist and do the most and fight for the community!! but theres nothing wrong with being in the community but engaging when you feel like it

so connection is going to be tailored to you, and whats relevent to you as a person. like identities always sounds like.. a jacket? but its just you. strip everything away and being disabled, being trans, being native, being a religion is still there.

again its never going to feel enough which is why you have to focus on you rather than how youre percieved. its so hard lol. at least for me.

But in terms of proof, im in a slightly similar boat? My cousin has papers which he says he has that indicate that my great grandma was full Yaqui. which lines up bc (BQ talk for sake of thr conversation) im 1/8th, which makes my dad 1/4th, and my grandma half. i think my grandma. and then my great grandma as 100%. which unfortunately i never got to meet. ive also been told he thinks a cousin lives on the rez in arizona. but other than that i dont know anyone other than my cousin who is connected or even attempting to reconnect

So again it lines up. but its really hard to get that info. and getting that info is especially hsrd when you have anxiety or are shy. which can seem like

well if its important enough, then you can work through it and should. but thats why we have to focus on us. push a little past what makes us comfortable, but ultimately dont beat yourself up for not being able to interact with people.

and youre so right, i think you have a great mindset- because yeah its not about searching to be native or yaqui. its not fingers crossed let me be native

its about a missing puzzle piece. and if the puzzle piece you find is actually not the one you thought it was, what matters is still finding the right piece

also i would love to know where u get your info and that subscription site, unless its the ancestry.com shit. that makes me mad. everytime it shows up with info it gives me a money screen

also if you want if youre on ancestry.com or 23andme we can add each other. who knows maybe we're related lol only if youre down. ill give my name so you dont have to publicly. but you said youre shy so its cool if no

otherwise idk how anyone does genealogy. like my jewish side has a lot of info and italian from one of my cousins who collected a bunch of stuff. and then on my dads side it goes to my grandma and it doesnt fill anything in.

but yeah even if you dont feel comfortable claiming yaqui yet, you can still connect to the native community

and at the end of the day a lot of native ppl dont know their tribe they decend from. they are still native. just from an unknown tribe. which is sad to not know but like, its not their fault. it feels shitty to say youre not native anymore bc colonization ttok away records and knowledge of your heritage.

like i think one some people do is support their local tribe. get involved locally.

unfortunately i dont have much info to give bc like i said im in a similar boat. im shy and anxious so its hard for me to talk to people, so seeking that info overwhelming

and then bugging my cousin sucks

but since you seem to have a little less to work on.. idk. maybe sign up for 23andme AND ancestry so that you have a wider net for family members that you can contact

otherwise maybe getting a genealogist to help you

and yeah its ok to not claim anything. Theres no rush! you can still be in the native community and support

sorry if i missed anything

I.A future spouse physical appearance and personality

Their physical appearance:

Ngl, this person likes part of their body is their head and styled their hair often. I think it's depends on their mood sometimes like for example this is what i'm getting — it's bald/shaved , on the other day it's dyed mostly and while for the other month it's curly,permed, spiral, wavy or ringlets (their hair grow fast too) something like that since they really love styling it. If they hair the colors will be black (raven), red (ginger) , brown (champagne) and grey (silver) it will be smooth, shiny and neat. If they're a man, they might have a facial hair. Skin color will be in the tones of light to medium colors, they might have a problem with their it can be ; blemishes, a lot of pimples, sweat or if they're woman they have stretch marks. Lips will be color of brown in the shape of cupid's bow with the texture of soft and thin. Hands will be strong and rough, nose will be in grecian shape, wide and dainty. Face will be sculpted in the shape of oval, someone who has medium build of body or can be fat and strong. Ears will be pointed or attached love, they might have piercings.

Their personality :

positive and negative traits

Gracious, neat, formal, honourable, comical, sensible, belligerent, dynamic and dependent.

Right off the bat, this person has dark sense of humor, lol. Sometimes you won't understand them and feel like they're some sort of weirdo, they had evil personality within themselves and very pompous. They has mo life plan and just go with the flow of whatever they gonna do, they're harsh to themselves. Even though, they're like this person is very loyal, no matter what happened or where they're if they know they already taken they won't entertain others. You can share your secrets with them too.

current emotional state : jubilant

significant number : 4

made with love, danise

Take what resonates and leave doesn't please♡︎

He wakes up renewed, almost desiring to stay in bed since he was so relaxed. He hums happily, turning to the side in hopes to see Bea but the bed is empty and cold, which meant she woke up before he did. Unusual but not impossible since they had Nicole.  

He’s smiling however, moving to her pillow to smell the lavender scent that never seemed to leave her body. He wondered if that wasn’t just her normal smell and not a perfume. Bradley woke up really happy, not only he had an amazing night - he could still remember everything that happened with detail - but he knew he’d have an even better day. 

He was so glad that Beatrice was slowly going back to her old sweet self, sometimes he’d see her eyes glaze and look at nothing but she’d snap back into reality quickly. While he was in bed, enjoying the softness and leftover warmth under his body, he couldn’t help but remember that their anniversary was coming up and they hadn’t planned anything. 

Honestly, he wasn’t sure if they’d be able to, he still had to check if he wasn’t deployed by then. While everything has been calm these past months he couldn’t be too optimistic because he could be called at any second and leave for God knows how long. 

Bradley groaned, running his hands up and down his face to wake up and then sat on the edge of the bed, trying to wipe the sleep off his eyes as he heard Beatrice’s gentle singing coming from downstairs. He couldn’t understand the words but he knew she was singing to Nicole. He knew he had to go to work, even if his body demanded that he stayed longer in bed, he had to get up. 

And so he did, with some difficulty,walking to the bathroom. 

He usually never rushed his morning showers, but that day he really wanted to enjoy it. He was having a really good morning and he had to get ready for the day, so he allowed himself to just let the water fall down on him in silence. 

“Roos?” her soft voice calls and he looks over to the door, seeing her blurry figure approaching the shower. She opens the door just enough to peek inside, “Hey, good morning.” 

“Hey, come on, I’m at a disadvantage here.” he chuckles, then wipes his face with a hand to lean closer, pecking her lips sweetly, “It’s a great morning, gorgeous.” 

Beatrice tried to not flick her eyes downwards where rivulets of water dribbled down his body and below his navel or else she’d be very distracted, “I just wanted to check what you’d want for breakfast today.” she smiles, “Maybe some pancakes?” 

“Hm,I’d love some.” 

“Good, because I found a chocolate chip recipe I think you’ll love.” she says, slowly backing away, “I’m going to let you shower, Nikki just had her own breakfast and is enjoying her bouncer with the dogs, I just took the time to check on you.” 

“Gorgeous you know I love when you check on me.” he purrs, grabbing his soap to lather over his chest and adoring how she just fought back from following his hand, “Did you shower yet?” 

“Roos.” 

“I’m just asking.” he laughs, throwing his hands up in defense. “It doesn’t hurt to ask.” 

“Uh-huh.” She clearly doesn’t believe him, but reciprocates his smile, “Not because you were trying to find a way for us to shower together,right?” he doesn’t reply but he does have the boyish grin she loved so much, “Anyway, I’m going back downstairs and leave you be.” she slowly closes the shower door with a little wave thrown his way before she’s out of the bathroom. 

Once she’s gone,Rooster lets out a disbelieved chuckle, “Fuck.” he bites his lower lip as he lets the water rinse the soap away, “She has no idea how she fucks with me in the best way,” and a cheeky voice in his mind said ‘literally’. That’s why he had to come up with something nice for their anniversary, not only because he loved her more than anything but because she deserved to have another special celebration. 

Beatrice was worth everything and he’d never tire of saying that to her. He could look some stuff up online, something they could both do together and he prayed for whatever deity there was that they could at least enjoy their anniversary before he was deployed again. 

And now that he’s seeing Nikki grow so fast every day…he’s not really eager about leaving. He even asked some of the pilots who had kids if they felt the same way and they all replied the same - except Jim who apparently felt at peace while gone because his kids were loud and in turn he got weird looks from everyone - that leaving after the birth of your child and coming back only to see how much they grew without you was painful. 

Not only that but Beatrice would be alone and that also made him nervous. Not that he didn’t trust her but he feared that,well, maybe she’d get the baby blues again. He researched it one night when she was asleep and he couldn’t, he wanted to make sure that she’d have no night terrors or nightmares - something he read that could happen - while in bed. So, to him, the wellbeing of Beatrice and their daughter was of the utmost importance. 

He was good at his job, he wouldn’t achieve what he did if he wasn’t, but he also wanted to balance both things. He knew Beatrice wouldn’t mind, she never did, she was just an angel in this planet who came to bless him with her kindness and love…and he just wanted to repay her in some way. 

He didn’t plan on retiring yet but he wanted to make sure that every time before he left they’d do something. Either go out, watch movies, eat something both of them like, hell even playing video games together, he didn’t care. 

The spook in December messed him up a lot and he just wanted to come back to them every time. He still had Beatrice’s ring around his dog tags and the flower pouch she made saved up and hidden in his bag, he liked to believe they brought him a lot of luck and he couldn’t really get rid of them now. 

Bea didn’t mind, she rarely asked for her ring back and considering everything she accepted he took it for himself. But that was the thing, she was always so giving, she gave so much for so many people and she rarely accepted anything back. 

“Well,” he starts talking to himself as soon as he shuts the shower off “She deserves something great.” 

And she does, more than anyone he knew. While wiping the moisture off his body,Bradley couldn’t help but wonder what exactly they could do for their anniversary. It was still in his mind and it didn’t appear it’d leave any time soon.  

As he wraps the towel around his waist and walks to the closet to change, he pauses when he sees her hiking boots tucked safely in the corner. Holding up his shirt as inspiration strikes, he knows exactly what they could do: They could go camping! Of course they wouldn’t be able to take Nikki if that was the case, she was too small, but…if everything went well they could leave her with Bea’s parents. 

It was a nice idea and they never hiked together even if they mentioned doing so. 

But there was much to think until then and he hoped he had enough time to do so. 

As he finished dressing up, with the idea still fresh in his mind, he walked down the steps to the first floor where he could still hear Beatrice talking to Nicole. He tried to be as quiet as possible but the twins - as they called Eleanor and Jack - immediately poked their heads out when they heard him coming. He petted them in a greeting before he walked into the kitchen, seeing his wife explaining to Nicole what a pancake was. 

She even held a plate in such a way that Nicole would see it. He didn’t know what his daughter’s reaction was, but Beatrice’s smile probably meant she was happy seeing it. “Roos!” Bea placed the plate down right where he usually sat, walking up to him to meet his lips in a sweet kiss, “You are smelling really nice,lieutenant.” 

He smirks against her mouth, “Just the best for my beautiful wife.” he whispers back, pecking her lips two more times before she walks away from him, his brown eyes dropping to those wide hips to hers, following them until she sat down on her spot, “You telling Nikki how pancakes should be considered the World’s 8th wonder?” 

She laughs softly, holding her head up with her hand as Rooster walks up to Nikki, kissing the baby’s cheeks and baby talking to her when she starts to giggle, “Something like that.” she says, “She seemed curious.” 

“Well if she’s anything like me we both know she’ll love it.” he says as he sits down, running his hand through his already combed hair. Beatrice loved that even when he cleaned himself up like that he still had to mess it up just enough to make it fluffy. “But it looks really nice, you said there’s chocolate chips in this?” 

“Choco chips and some yogurt.” she smiles, “I saw the recipe online and I thought you’d like it.” 

“Mm,what’s this? Are you spoiling me?” He meets her eyes when he asks that, the subtle dark glaze over them not missed by Beatrice, “Last night…today…you are going to pamper me too much,you might never get rid of me.” 

“Hm,good.” she smiles wider, “I wouldn’t want to get rid of you.” 

“Careful, more talking like this and I’ll just stay here today.” he jokes before taking a bite of his breakfast, “So,I was thinking about our anniversary.” 

“Oh?” 

‘Yeah,I think we can figure something fun to do, don’t you?” 

Beatrice folds her arms on the table, tilting her head at him, “Do you have something planned?” 

“It’s an idea.” he shrugs, sipping his coffee, “But maybe we could go hiking, we can leave Nikki with your parents for one night and enjoy the time together.” Beatrice stares at him for a few seconds, then licks her lips as she thinks about it. 

“Well, I do like the idea.” 

“But?” 

“But my parents are going to Italy during our anniversary. It’s my uncle Roberto’s birthday and he invited them…for a yacht ride.” she laughs softly, “So, maybe we can…figure something out that we can do with Nikki?” 

Bradley shrugs with a nod, “Sure, it’s just an idea anyway.” He looks back to where Nicole was, her little hands on top of her light pink onesie as she looks at the moving mobile with such intensity you’d think she was interrogating each plastic animal above her head. “I mean,Nikki doesn’t have a lot of interests yet but I think we can work something out with her,huh?” 

“I think so too.” she replies, “She’s…a lot like you.” 

Bradley holds the coffee mug inches from his lips, arching his brow with an “Oh?” 

“Yeah, she has the same look when she’s really focused.” he furrows his brows in confusion, “Roos, you have this…look, your brows lower and your lips pout just a little bit because you are focused on something…and then you run your hand on your mustache. She has the same mannerisms already, so you are already being an influence to our infant daughter.” 

He looks back to where Nicole was, seeing her little focused face with his own confused one. She was looking at her mobile intensely and her lips were pursed up a little bit, little pink lips that seemed to pop out of her face with her tiny arms trying to reach the moving bird, “...if you ask me she has a lot of you too.” 

“She does?” 

“Her smile especially.” he smirks as Beatrice’s cheeks turn a light red, “She smiles with her whole face just like you do. And her eyes squint and shine at the same time, just like yours.” 

Beatrice only blushed more, cupping her cheeks with her hands and sinking into her seat a bit more, just enough that the upper half of her body was visible, “Stop.” she giggles, “You are too smooth and I might take your offer about you staying here today.” 

Rooster smirks even more, arching his brow with a flick, “Maybe next time, maybe I can…” he drops his eyes down her chest, “Be a little late.” 

“You are never late.” she retorts, cheeks red as ripe tomatoes, “How long would that even be?” 

“Mmm…forty five minutes maybe?” she gaped at him, then started laughing, shaking her head because she couldn’t believe him, “Not my fault you are hot.” and he was sincere about it, he’d stay home if there was a possibility. But this talk only made him feel better than before. 

Yeah, it was going to be a good day. 

- 

Bradley stands in front of Cyclone with his hands behind his lower back, chest expanding with an inhale,”...three months,sir?” 

“Three months,Bradshaw.” the Vice-Admiral says, his glasses resting by the bridge of his nose as he reads the papers in front of him, his blue eyes slowly rising up to the standing officer who looked a mix of surprised and disappointed. He slowly pulled his glasses off, “Speak your mind,Bradshaw.” 

“There’s nothing in my mind,sir.” 

“There must be,” he gestures the handle of his glasses to the officer’s stiff posture, “You are standing there like a green bean ready to snap, so, tell me what’s the matter.” 

Bradley didn’t know how to start, he stood there in silence for a few seconds before words finally appeared in his brain, “...I…may I ask something personal,sir?” Cyclone arches his brow even more, “...how was it…when you had Evelyn?” 

Cyclone’s expression went from curious to a blank slate, those blue eyes turned icy and Bradley feared he stepped over the line when asking his superior about his daughter. But Cyclone just takes a deep breath, almost meticulously opening the glasses case to place them inside, clicking it shut with one hand, pushing it aside before he interlaces his hands on top of his desk, “How old is your daughter,Bradshaw?” 

“She’s going to turn one month old,sir.”  

Cyclone pauses, his eyes looking to the side in thought, “One month…hm.” he chuckles almost dryly, one of his hands coming up to scratch his jawline, “Evelyn was one year old when I finally held her for the first time.” his eyes shadowed as he reminisced, “She was already so big and she had no idea who I was, we didn’t have facetiming back then and it took a while for us to actually bond.”  

He could see how his words affected the new father, whose shoulders tensed and relaxed as he tried to control his emotions, “This will happen often,Bradshaw.” he begins, “Your daughter will grow asking her mother where you are, how long you’ll be gone and when you are coming back.” Cyclone slowly rises to his feet, walking around his desk to stand in front of Bradley, “This is something she’ll have to get used to.” 

Bradley licked his lips but said nothing, avoiding his superior’s eyes as he looked down at him, “Sacrifices that must be made.” Cyclone says, “Sacrifices that she will understand when she’s older.” 

He almost wanted to retort that Evelyn didn’t seem to understand the sacrifices he made when she was younger considering how she acted around her father and around other Naval officers. “I know.” he holds back the frown, “I know,sir.” 

“What we do is for our children.” Cyclone’s voice is so dangerously quiet Rooster can feel it enter his ears as if it were a punch, “You have the possibility of talking to your daughter while you are away…do not waste that. Dismissed.” and he turns around to sit back down on his chair, leaving Bradley standing there quietly. 

He inhales one last time before saluting and leaving the room, clenching his eyes as he sighs loudly, walking ahead until he sees Phoenix and Payback talking not too far from him, “He let you in it too?” Payback asks and Rooster nods, “You look tense,man.” 

“I…” he sighs again, “...this is the first time I’m leaving Bea and Nikki alone.” 

“It’s not for long.” Nat adds, crossing her arms, “It’ll be over before you-” 

“Nat,” he holds up a hand, “I…don’t think that will help. Yeah,I’m glad it’s a short time instead of a year or two, but it’s still scary. Bea–” he pauses, his jaw moving as the words are held back behind his teeth, refusing to elaborate why he worried about his wife the most, they didn’t need to know that, “...I just worry.” 

“You are a new dad.” Payback smiles sympathetically,patting his friend’s shoulder “It’s normal to worry.” 

“Unless you are still thinking about what happened in December.” Phoenix’s voice is quiet, the words weighing more than normal and the three of them could feel the atmosphere change as they all recalled how close that was, “Which…honestly I don’t think anyone forgot.” 

“That too.” he whispered, rubbing his eyes with his thumb and index finger, pinching the bridge of his nose with his brows going up, “...I’m okay. Just…I’m okay.” he pulled out his phone to unlock it, seeing the pictures of both their wedding day and of Nicole as his backgrounds clearly helped him. 

But his day…well, it wasn’t going as great as he wished.  

And he had to talk to Beatrice later.
