✨WIP Wednesday✨

HELLO HELLO it's been a while! <3 i was tagged by @veeples and it took me a bit to find something to share, but then i remembered i started writing some directionless Juni/Mason stuff on the bus a little while ago, because it's kind of my feel-good comfort pairing now hfdkjlsahghkj it's late and im not sure who's already been tagged, but if you've got something you wanna share, feel free to tag me in it! <3

Juni flops into bed beside him, and he immediately sticks his hands underneath the shirt and starts to ruck it up over the detective's belly. "Hey!" he squawks, trying to yank it back down. His laugh is bright, even as late as it is, sweet and happy.

"I need that back," Mason grumbles, lips twitching with the effort not to smile. "Got a mission brief to get to. Need to hurry if I want to be able to shower."

Juni deflates, but he still wrestles the shirt back down to cover his modesty, like Mason hasn't seen (and touched, and tasted) it all. "Oh," he sighs. "Well, you can use my shower, if you want?"

Mason scrunches his nose. While it would save him a lot of time (and give him a little longer to lounge around in bed with the detective) his shower back at the warehouse has his stuff. There’s no truly unscented products, when you’re a creature with super-senses, especially as sensitive as Mason’s are, but the Agency’s managed to get a hold of some that are close enough to unscented for Mason to actually use without being drowned in artificial fruit smells.

Juni purses his lips. “If it helps, my soaps and stuff are all pretty mild?” He wiggles closer, tips his head so his curls brush over Mason’s cheeks. He conditioned his hair, and even still damp, it’s soft, and smells like something Mason can’t name, sweet and lightly floral. “I have crazy sensitive skin, so most commercial stuff makes me break out, and sometimes strong artificial smells give me migraines...” Mason is hardly listening, too busy burying his fingers in Juni’s hair and scritching at his scalp, indulging in the wealth of sensory information that is the detective.

Under the clean scent of him, he smells like Mason, bundled up in the vampire’s shirt, and that’s doing things to him he has no hope of picking apart.

And when Mason tugs a little at his hair on a puckish impulse, there’s the faintest hint of arousal, a weak little noise catching in Juni’s throat.

“Mason,” he mumbles, pressing a hand to his chest. Mason tilts his head, “Want me to stop?” he asks, smirking a little.

“You gotta go soon,” Juni sighs. His eyelids are starting to droop, though it’s hard to tell if it’s because of the late hour or something else. “Gonna shower here or not?”

He chews it over for a moment, fingers still tangled in dense, soft curls. Juni waits patiently for his answer, though it’s obvious he’s starting to list, even if his big, hazel-green eyes are watching Mason with sleepy focus. “Yeah, why not,” he grunts. It won’t kill him to do it just once, even if it does leave him a bit out of sorts. “Gonna let me borrow one of your shirts, then? Since you won’t give me back mine?”

Juni smiles, blood rushing to his skin. Fuck, Mason’s never wanted to move less. “I like oversized clothes, so at least you know they’ll fit.”

Mason huffs out a laugh, and checks the time on Juni’s bedside alarm clock. He groans and starts to disentangle himself, feeling cold where the detective’s soft limbs were tangled around his. It doesn’t help that Juni makes a tiny sound of displeasure, his lips curling in a faint pout. He rolls over in the warm spot Mason’s left behind, and watches him stretch through slitted eyes. “Keep looking at me like that, sweetheart, and I’ll blow Adam off and stay right here.”

“And then he’ll come storming in to look for you,” Juni fires back, laughing quietly. "And I'm not wearing pants."

"Lucky Adam, then," Mason snorts, but the second the words leave his mouth, he's left feeling sour and strange. It's not like Adam would care, and if he did he'd leave immediately—

Mason shakes his head. What a pointless train of thought. Still, he skims a hand up Juni's bare thigh, squeezing a little harder than is perhaps necessary, but Juni doesn't seem to mind.

"Go shower!" he blurts, pulling a pillow over his face and squeezing his legs together as Mason's hand starts to wander.

Mason snickers, smacks the back of his hand against Juni's thigh to enjoy the way it wobbles, and saunters off to the bathroom.

by popular demand, here is my oc chatter regarding stuff like relationships n random character traits. its rly long oops but i divided it by character at least lmao,, these are all things that i think id also wanna use if i ever use these characters as humans (which i def will at some point honestly)

- i thinkkkk i want toad and pike to date. toad would come across pike in their lagoon one day while hes wandering around on another wonked exploration and pike is like hey lol :B with their pointy teeth and long ass hair and toad is like :0 he just sits and talks with pike for hours and comes by a few times a week to hang out with them. they fall in LOVE

- fred and lani are def gonna date too. two butches who use he/him pronouns fuck yeah? they have a powerful relationship. mega BDE. power couple. not a lot of pda but alone together theyre both very loving and tender, its a vulnerability thing for both of them. like lani is very cool and can be either stoic or borderline obnoxious while fred is punkish. fred is very head over heels for lani tho 

- mardi n berg.....complicated....i gotta figure out how they actually end up together. berg is a jogger and mardi is a piercer/tattoo artist so that doesnt....make them line up very much in that department. ill think about it more and figure something out. itll probably have something to do with berg’s nose stripes and eye rings

- also side note on mardi......i want his backstory to include a grey period set off by his brother being eaten when they were both young at the troll tree. like he becomes angry and depressed, sorta like branch, his tattoos that he gives himself the only color on his body, until he learns to let go and his colors come back (high key this was inspired by 21 savage, mardi’s voice claim, and the line in his new song A Lot “my brother lost his life and it turned me to a beast”). ill develop this idea further but i just wanted to get it written down

- bismuth.......unsure. they had a crush on pepper and kept trying to ask her out until she came out to them as a lesbian, then they were like :’) but theyre ride or die theyre not gonna be an ass to her because they cant date her. they just care a lot about her. its like icarly

- gazpacho and jupiter CUTE two small trans trolls in That Love. i need to develop them more but. theyre just cute 

- talia is still a little too new for me to develop her......but im thinkin about it...

- kinda same with ernie and olive. they kinda mostly just exist as cute babby characters right now? if anything olive is a trouble maker and ernie is a chatterbox

- clem and thursday also fuckin cute as hell......clem was a nervous wreck asking thursday out but theyve been together like ever since, which is more than a few years. they have a rly cute gentle lovey dovey relationship. thursday is usually hanging around up on her gf’s shoulder giving her kisses on the cheek

- bea and crystal.......adorabl relationship......crystal is another character thats kinda nervous but bea is so chill n confident is helps calm her down. theyre both trans and love the hell out of each other. rly slow n steady relationship, bea is very patient

- pj and marcus!!!! dumb mlm rep relationship. pj is so so gay for marcus he can barely comprehend it. its a dumb ego boost for marcus but hes also very in love with pj, he just expresses it in a weird cocky way idk marcus is a nerd. i need to make more content for them i think about these two way more than it seems

- dwight!! he has a boat. he lives on the boat.....ive thought about maybe pairing him with toad and pike. deciding on his voice claim has been the most difficult thing ever

- kass and current HELL yeah buff gf and tol gf......they spar with swords and wrestle for fun and hang out at the beach a lot. kass fuckin loves the gem on current’s back. i gotta make more content for them 

- celia......i wanna do more with celia. friends with berg probs theyre both sporty. shes just a sweet giant troll who loves mushrooms. i gotta pair her with someone whose palette goes nicely with her pastels 

- carrot and harriet are literally cricket and tilly from big city greens just older. yeehaw siblings. havent thought about relationship stuff with harriet yet.....i think she also needs ANOTHER redesign her colors are just too heavy still. maybe if i can make her colors compliment celia’s that could work as a pairing? hm hm.....carrot tho is dating ford’s oc rye theyre gentle country gays

- rainer. hm. i dont think theyre rly the dating type......theyre just chill with being them. they just wanna swim and be funny

- hammond and andromeda are probs two of my least developed characters.....hammond still needs a redesign. he might be cute to pair with walter, theyre around the same age. andromeda tho i have no idea. she might be a nice pairing with eve? if i ever feel like pairing her with someone...who knows. eve is very carefree and might find andromeda’s energy too intense

- radish i wanna make more content for!! i rly like her a lot....i think shes another troll who isnt interested in dating. shes very focused on being a chef instead. loves her friends a lot!

- mack and pepper 2gether 4ever obvs......they have a relationship that gets richer with age for sure

- im just gonna ramble about mack. i thinkkkkkkk i wanna make her half latina? columbian specifically. she doesnt quite read as white and i didnt make her with the intention of making her white. anyway i love mack a whole lot and should really develop her backstory more. its not rly as like...””tragic”” or whatever as pepper’s i know that but she def has layers. i wanna give her whole family more depth. she has a very complicated relationship with her own feelings and motivations that i need to think about more fully. my powerful femme tho i lov her

- mack’s parents, robin and champagne, i need to like....think about them more. they have kinda a comedic relationship thats sorta inspired by roger rabbit and jessica rabbit. robin is a very caring, gentle troll who’s very smart and cares a lot about his nursing responsibilities in the village. champagne is very relaxed and the “voice of reason” character of the family. she loves a good party and has her party planning down to a science. both are very successful power parents. kickass family

- i already talked about topaz and marney in a separate post but i still love them both so much. big wesbiabs

- pepper....pebber. im gonna talk about her the most obviously gfhjdkrs i wanna talk about her mental health i feel like i think about it a lot but i never write about it explicitly? this is gonna be long oops hgjfksd she has depression and ptsd stemming from the trauma of her crash...im thinking she also has adhd and thats just something shes always had. her depression rly got heavy during her recovery and right after like...she hated being bed/housebound and felt rly powerless to her situation and just let it eat at her until her personality had actually changed considerably. like extroverted wild child rebel to introverted, soft-spoken sulker. this got better with time but she still is pretty introverted, just turned her moodiness into chill energy. 

- she has bad depression habits like letting dishes, old food, laundry, or just stuff pile up in her room until it gets overwhelming and she spends like two days just manically cleaning; or staying in bed for way longer than she should and messing with her hygiene; or eating way more or way less than she should eat in a day. just stuff thats hard to completely break out of when youre recovering. her color is pretty consistently the dark red but if shes having a particularly rough day she might look a little paler, or like a muddy brick color at her worst. thats kinda rare tho

- her ptsd is the thing she hates the most. for a while it made her feel very weak and she’d beat herself up over being traumatized by the crash which was obviously not helpful to her mental state but she was really all over the place during her bodily recovery. its part of the reason why she started working out, she wanted to reclaim some sort of feeling of strength and power that she felt she’d lost completely. she still gets really frustrated with this feeling of loss but she gets a lot of support from loved ones which has helped her not self-blame so much. her ptsd manifests mostly as nightmares/insomnia, chronic headaches/stomachaches, intrusive thoughts and sometimes flashbacks. the nightmares are what rly get to her, she really doesnt get a lot of good sleep and it can get to the point where she just doesnt want to sleep sometimes and she’ll stay awake until she crashes hard

- her scars used to be a big trigger for her ptsd, which is why she has her bangs covering the one on her face and wears long pants (her knee braces are too bulky for pants and would force her to wear shorts which would force her to expose her scars). she just. really really hates them. this is something she struggles with for a majority of her life

- once she and mack start going steady with their dating and start consistently sleeping in the same bed, pepper starts to sleep better. she still has nightmares that wake her up at least weekly, but having mack there to comfort her (whether she wakes mack up accidentally or if mack is already awake) helps a TON with getting her back to sleep soundly. it also just helps her sleep in general to have that comforting, loving presence in her bed snuggled up to her ;w; mack is a big help in general with pepper’s mental health, pushing pepper to make better, healthier choices and get out in the village more and have fun. mack for sure does not “”cure”” pepper of anything but shes a very positive light in pepper’s life that helps her pull thru tough times!

- i love all my goofy trolls so much. its so fun to just chill and blab about them to relax between working on big projects ;o; ty if u cared enough to read this whole thing ur so rad
