Kelbrey Week - Day 1 - Comforting and Grieving

Grieving the death of a friend.... ....and what you lost after.

HEYYY IT'S KELBREY WEEK!!! Hi, so, whenever Aubrey was upset, Kel would comfort her by being silly, because he doesn't like to see her cry.. And even though it might end up with her punching his arm, at least she wasn't sad anymore! But when Mari died..... They both lost that. Sometimes, in small moments, they kinda mourn those little things, no matter how much they push to deny it.

I HOPE TO GOD I GET TO KEEP UP WITH THIS WHOLE WEEK, GIVEN THAT I'M SICK BUT STILL KICKING RIGHT NOW IS A MIRACLE.... I would try my best fro them though because I love love love them so much, and I already have sketches for the next two days!!! YEAHH! Let's hope I can keep up!

@kelbreyweek hiii i made it!!!

Story below the cut. Thank you so much for reading! 💕

“It’s beautiful, Sunny,” sighed Aubrey with a kind smile as she stared down at the ring glistening in the small velvet box Sunny had set on the table in front of her and Kel. She blinked at it in shock and surprise that she tried her best to hide. When Sunny had asked if he could get their opinion on something before he headed out for the evening, she had not been expecting him to pull an engagement ring out of his pocket. After all, Sunny and Cris had started dating almost a year after she and Kel had, and they certainly weren’t engaged yet. She supposed every couple took things at their own pace, but since Sunny was usually so shy about his relationship, she had, albeit wrongfully, assumed he and Cris were taking things very slow.

Kel, it seemed, had not made this assumption, however, as he enthusiastically exclaimed, “Congratulations! This is great!” and quickly pulled Sunny into a tight hug and gave him a congratulatory pat on the back with not even a hint of shock or surprise.

With a curious tilt of her head, Aubrey wondered if Sunny had given Kel more of a heads up about his plans to propose. It was difficult to imagine since Sunny didn’t talk much to begin with and, as far as Aubrey knew, was usually very shy about his relationship, and even if he wasn’t, Kel had assured Aubrey multiple times that they never really discussed their love lives with each other. She wouldn’t have minded if they did, as long as Kel didn’t share anything too personal or private about her. Seeing as they were all mutual friends, it would be awkward both for them and for Sunny if he was privy to a lot of intimate details about their relationship, and to be fair, she didn’t feel it was her or Kel’s place to know a lot of intimate details about Sunny relationship either, even if, at least according to Sunny, Kel had, supposedly, set him up with Cris in the first place. The details were all a little fuzzy since Kel swore he hadn’t been setting them up on purpose and didn’t even know that’s what he had been doing, but Sunny was very insistent and very grateful that Kel had played a formative role in their relationship. Aubrey shrugged. Maybe he had involved Kel in proposal plans, if only for that reason. Still...Aubrey had to admit it was surprising that he was showing off the ring to them.

Sunny’s mouth twitched in the corners as the lightest tint of pink flushed in his pale cheeks, but he managed a nod at both her and Kel in turn and a quiet, “Thank you.”

“Cris is going to love it!” added Kel practically beaming at them.

Thoughtfully, Sunny pursed his lips together, but it seemed he couldn’t hold back his smile. Aubrey’s expression softened. It was nice to see him so happy.

“I hope so…” he said.

“Of course she is,” reassured Kel, draping an arm around Sunny’s shoulders. “I mean it looks like a seashell—it’s perfect!”

Aubrey’s jaw fell a bit slack as she tilted her head at the ring again. She hadn’t realized it before, but now that Kel had mentioned it, she could see that the jewels were cut and arranged in such a way that actually did look like a seashell—a gold and diamond seashell with a beautiful pearl in the center. Wow, thought Aubrey. It must have cost Sunny a small fortune, and where would he even find a ring like that? Did he have it custom made?

“I went to that place you told me about,” said Sunny turning to Kel who just smiled. Aubrey blinked at them. Wait…what?  

“Ah, cool! I’m glad it worked out.”

“Hold on,” Aubrey interrupted. “You told Sunny about a jewelry store?”

Kel shrugged with a laugh. “Hey, don’t look so surprised. You don’t know what I do in my free time,” he teased shooting her a wide, toothy grin, but Sunny’s eyebrows twitched and the blush in his face deepened. Aubrey’s brow furrowed, and she swallowed hard. Oh no. No. There was no way…

Aubrey took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down. If this really was what she thought, that would mean Kel had ordered his ring before Sunny, and there was no way that Kel would have been able to keep that a secret for so long. He would have told her or at least given some indication that he was planning to propose to her…right?

“You okay?” asked Kel with a concerned tilt of his head. “You’re looking kind of pale. You need to sit down or something? I can get you some water…”

“Uh, no,” she stumbled over her words, rubbing her hand across her forehead. “No. It’s fine.”

“Are you sure? You don’t look fine.”

“Kel—” she began but stopped abruptly. She knew the answer to the question she wanted to ask as soon as she met his eyes. Her heart raced, but her insides coiled and twisted. She didn’t know how she felt—shocked, happy, worried, excited, terrified, overwhelmed…angry? No, that wasn’t right. That last one was unexpected, especially given how much she loved him. She was mostly just…scared. Her hands began to tremble, but she rose to her full height on shaking legs.

“Do you…have a ring?” The question just slipped out before she could stop it.

“Huh?” Kel’s eyes widened, and he blinked at her dumbfounded, before a sheepish smile tugged at his mouth and he rubbed his hand across the nape of his neck. “Oh…uh…well…”

“I’m sorry,” mumbled a particularly red Sunny who Aubrey was sorry to say she had completely forgotten about.

“No, it’s fine, Sunny,” Kel awkwardly reassured him before turning to her in confusion. “Aubrey, uh…” He stopped. “Do you really want to talk about this now?”

She took a shaky breath, and her face grew hot. “Right…Sorry, Sunny.”  

“It’s okay,” he replied, but he wouldn’t look at her. He added hurriedly, “I’m actually supposed to meet Cris.”

“Are you gonna propose tonight?” asked Kel, completely ignoring the tense atmosphere.

Sunny shrugged. “I dunno.” He stumbled around, awkwardly gathering his things, and Aubrey could have sworn she saw him glance over at her before he added, “I think I’ll ask if I can first.”

Aubrey cursed under her breath, then started to trip over her words. “Sunny…Cris loves you. If you want to propose you—” She stopped. “That’s not what…”

As her voice trailed off, Sunny just blinked at her then mumbled. “Okay.” He paused, and his expression was frustratingly unreadable. “Thanks. Bye.”  

“Sunny…” Aubrey called after him, but within moments he had darted out of the front door. With a heavy sigh, Aubrey buried her face in her hands and wondered if she had ever seen him run out of the house so quickly. She cursed under her breath again.

“It’s okay,” Kel reassured her gently running his hand across her back. “Sunny just hates conflict—almost as much as Hero,” he added with a chuckle. “We’ll just apologize to him later. It’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”

“I feel terrible,” she mumbled, mentally kicking herself at her outburst.

“You want that water?”

“That’s not what I meant…” Aubrey sighed, but Kel disappeared into the kitchen anyway. While she waited for him to return, she glanced over at the clock. Hero would probably be walking through the door any minute, and she had no idea where Basil was but he could be home soon too. Aubrey sighed again. They needed to save them from also being unwitting witnesses to this…personal discussion—an unfortunate side-effect of them being roommates with Kel, she supposed.

“Do you think we could talk outside?” she suggested, gesturing at the sliding doors to the deck Kel had built on the back of the house.

“Okay,” said Kel with a nod as he handed her a glass of water. “Do you want me to get it?”

Confusedly, Aubrey tilted her head. “Get what?”

“The ring.”

Her chest tightened, but she opened the sliding door and stepped out onto the deck. “You have it here?”

“Yeah, uh…Hero said I could keep it in his safety deposit box at the bank, but I dunno, I just didn’t feel right about that. I’ve been keeping it in my sock drawer,” he chuckled. “With my clean socks, of course.”

“How long have you had it?”

Kel shrugged then closed the sliding door behind him and took a seat next to her on the outdoor sofa. “A couple of months. I had to special order it, so it took a while to come in.”

“Were you going to tell me about it?”

“Eventually…” Kel teased, but his smile faded, replaced by a certain helplessness in his eyes that made her heart ache. “Are you unhappy?”

Aubrey sighed, then evaded the question. “I just thought we talked about this—decided it was too soon and we weren’t ready.”

“No,” he gently corrected. “You decided it was too soon and you weren’t ready, and I said that was okay and I can wait until you are…which is exactly what I said the time before that and the time before that and the time before that.” Kel stopped and let out a heavy sigh, before he tilted his head towards her and gently teased, “You can’t be surprised I want to marry you. I keep bringing it up.”

A smile twitched in the corners of Aubrey’s mouth, and she stifled a chuckle in spite of herself but sighed. “I just…I didn’t expect you to have a ring already. I thought we’d…talk about that before you actually bought one.”

“I’m sorry,” he sighed. “I just wanted to surprise you, and the last time we talked about it you said that you knew you wanted to marry me someday, so I guess I was just hoping it was someday soon. I wasn’t going to ask you until you told me you were ready… I just didn’t see the harm in having it for whenever that was.”

Aubrey supposed he had a point. It was very practical, but… “That’s just such a big step, Kel. I just don’t want to rush it.”

“Aubrey, we’ve been together for years now, and we’ve known each other most of our lives. I don’t know how we could possibly take things any slower,” he chuckled lightly, but his expression softened. “I think at this point you know me better than anybody else on this planet—maybe even better than I know myself. If after all of that, you still don’t know if you want to marry me, then what are we even doing?”

“Kel, I…” Her voice cracked. That wasn’t fair. “You know that I want to marry you eventually. I just…want make sure that we’re ready.”

“Yes, you keep saying that, but what do you mean by ‘ready’?” he asked with a long exhale and an almost helpless shrug of his shoulders. “I’m not sure anybody can be completely ready because it’s always going to be a little scary but mostly exciting. If you’re waiting to feel 100% sure, I’m just not sure that’s ever going to happen.”

“Kel, I don’t think you’re thinking this all the way through. It’s a big decision. It means forever.” Swallowing hard, Aubrey curled her trembling hands into fists. “I just want you to be sure about this—sure that you aren’t going to change your mind.”  

“I’m not going to change my mind. I already spent three months’ salary on that ring.”

Aubrey gasped. “Wait…you spent how much?”

“I read about it online,” shrugged Kel with far more nonchalance than Aubrey felt the situation warranted. “It’s a tradition.”

“Kel, you didn’t have to…” she began, but he cut her off.

“It’s really pretty. It doesn’t look like a seashell or anything, but I got it in rose gold so it’s pink—your favorite color, like your hair used to be.” He playfully ruffled his hand through her hair with a warm, affectionate smile. “You sure you don’t want to see it?”

“No, I…” Aubrey turned away from him, staring intently at her hands. “I wasn’t talking about the ring, Kel. I meant the marriage—our marriage. What if you wake up one day and realize you’ve made a huge mistake? And decide you don’t want to be married to me anymore?”

“Aubrey…” He pressed his palm to her cheek, tilting her head until she was looking up at him again. “I love you. I’m not going to change my mind about that.”

Her heart raced, but she clinched her hands into fists. She wanted to believe him. She wished she could, but… “Talk is cheap, Kel.”

He tilted his head at her in confusion, and before she could even think to stop them, the words began to race out of her mouth, “Sure it’s easy to say that now when things are good and you want to get married, but what about when things get hard? Have you even thought about that? It’s not always going to be like this—life is hard, Kel, and things will eventually get difficult. And when that happens, actually sticking around will be really hard, and it’ll just be easier to pack up your stuff and leave.” As her eyes burned, tears began to prickle behind them. “And those words—those ‘I love you’s—they can’t change that. They can’t stop someone from leaving. Believe me, if they could, my—” Her voice hitched, and she stopped abruptly. She had already said much more than she had meant to.

“Aubrey”—he said her name with such an aching sadness, a helplessness that made her chest pang—“Aubrey, please don’t cry.”

With a gasp, she held her hand up to her face, catching the tears which had somehow struggled free from her eyes. She hadn’t even realized she was crying. Sniffling, she resisted the urge to bury her face in her hands. It was by no means the first time she had cried in front of Kel, and she knew it wouldn’t be the last.

As Kel wrapped his arms around her, she pressed her chin to his shoulder and began to tremble, tightly closing her eyes, trying to will herself not to cry anymore. “I’m sorry,” he said, running a comforting hand through her hair. “I’m really sorry about your parents, but I’m not your dad. I’m not going anywhere.”

“He wasn’t the only one who left.”

Aubrey hadn’t realized she had said those words aloud until she felt Kel’s shoulders stiffen as his arms turned rigid, his hands recoiling from her. The pain that crossed over his stormy eyes as he pulled away from her made her insides twist—a lump forming in her throat. She wished she could shove her thoughtless words back into her mouth.

“Is that what this is about?” he asked, the hitch in his voice betraying that he was far more sad than angry. “You know how much I regret that—how sorry I am that I wasn’t there when you needed me. I was a stupid kid, Aubrey, trying to deal with things way too complicated for a kid to have to deal with. I never wanted to hurt you. I just felt so useless.”

His voice cracked, and he paused, catching his shaking breath before he said apologetically, “I know that’s not an excuse, and if I could do it all over again, I would do everything differently—not just with you but with Hero and Sunny and Basil too. But we don’t get that option, and I don’t think it’s fair for you to hold me to that one mistake, even if it was a big one.”

“Kel, I’m sorry. I’m not…” she began, but she didn’t even know what she was trying to say. She took a long deep breath then admitted, “That hurt me, but I’m not still angry about it. I mean, that time after Mari’s death was…” Something panged and twisted in her chest, even after all this time. She couldn’t find the words to describe it. There were some things in life that were too painful to name. “A really bad time for all of us. It definitely brought out the worst in me, and then after my dad left, I just…I started taking all that out on everybody else, including you, and I’m sorry about that too.”

“It’s okay. I have no hard feelings,” he reassured her, running his hand across her back again. “Things are different now. I’m different and so are you. That was all I was trying to say. We’re not going to make the same mistakes again—at least I know I’m not.”

“I don’t know, Kel…” sighed Aubrey, sniffling with burning eyes. “Sometimes I feel like that angry girl with a nail bat is still in me—still hating the world, pushing everybody away, and trying to protect herself before…” Her voice trailed, but the look in Kel’s eyes told her that she didn’t need to finish that sentence. She fidgeted in her seat, feeling suddenly exposed, vulnerable. Swallowing hard, she changed directions. “I just…I feel like if you knew that, if you really knew that, you wouldn’t want to marry me.”  

“That’s not true,” Kel insisted, but Aubrey sighed, tilting her head at him questioningly.

“You’re sure you want to marry a nail-bat girl?” she teased, but her voice hitched and wavered.

“You know I always kind of thought that nail bat thing was badass—even if you did hit me with it a couple of times.” He gave her a reassuring smile before he bantered with a teasing grin. “Wouldn’t it be funny if we got married in that church where we had that fight? Like you’re walking down the aisle, and it’s the same aisle where you—”

“Kel,” she interrupted with a pointed glare, but he merely shrugged as he watched the smile twitching in the corners of Aubrey’s mouth. He always did this—tried to make her laugh with they fought. She twisted her mouth to one side with a somewhat begrudging concession. It usually worked.

“Made you smile though,” he said before his expression softened, and he tilted his head towards her. “I think you’re looking at this the wrong way, Aubrey. Yeah, I mean, I know all about your nail-bat delinquent phase—I was there, so don’t you think that if I really wanted out, that would’ve been it? I mean, if I didn’t really love you, I’d just be like ‘yeah, this girl fought me in a church with a nail bat, so she’s probably not the one…’” he teased with a laugh, and Aubrey stifled a chuckle of her own in spite of herself.

“Would it kill you to take this seriously?” she bantered dryly.

“I am being serious,” he insisted with an expression that was so affectionate and so sincere, it brought a blush to her face. “I love you, Aubrey, and I’m not going anywhere and I’m not changing my mind. I’ve wanted to marry you since like our 5th date.” He laughed, but her brow furrowed. She couldn’t be entirely sure if he was joking or not.

“Our 5th date?” she repeated, quirking an eyebrow at him. “I don’t even think I remember our 5th date.”

Kel chuckled, but his face seemed to light up. “We went to the movies—I don’t remember which one, but afterwards we went for a quick walk in the park. You still had some of your soda left so you were finishing that off on our walk, and I made you laugh so hard that soda came out of your nose.”

Aubrey pressed her palm to her forehead and shook her head as her cheeks burned. “Oh, I remember that. It was so embarrassing.”

“No, it was adorable,” Kel insisted with a bright smile. “And I just remember thinking: ‘I want to make you laugh like that forever.’”

He paused—something ardent and wistful in his eyes. “It was just the first time I really thought about that—us being together forever. I didn’t dwell on it too much, but as time went on, I thought about it again and again, until finally I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you.” Reaching out to her, he gently stroked his hand across her damp cheek, catching one of the lingering tears with his thumb. “And I do, Aubrey. I want to spend forever with you—want to settle down and have family, grow old together and someday when we’re both gray and wrinkly, I want to make you laugh so hard that prune juice comes out of your nose…”—he chuckled—“or whatever it is that old people drink. I’m sure we’ll figure it out.”

Aubrey laughed, and the words slipped out without her even needing to think about them. “I love you.”

His warm eyes lit up—beaming at her as he gently pushed a piece of hair out of her face, “I love you too, and I will love you forever. That’s why I want to get married. I want to promise you that, promise you that I’m not going anywhere, so we can start the rest of our life together. I know forever is a long time, but I’m not scared of it. Honestly, it really can’t come fast enough.”

“Kel…” She pressed her palm to his cheek, the tips of her fingers tangling in his hair.

“I don’t know what else I can say or do to convince you that I love you and that that isn’t ever going to change. I’m always going to be here—you’re probably going to get sick of me,” he joked with a bright grin before his face softened, something so ardent, so sincere in his eyes as they met hers. Aubrey’s breath caught in her throat. The way he looked at her… She didn’t know what it was that he saw. “At a certain point, you’re just going to have to trust me.”

He let out a breathy chuckle as Aubrey’s hand tangled in the hair on the back of his head. She pulled him towards her, watched as his eyes fluttered closed and he gently cupped her face in his hands. He leaned forward and kissed her, slow and gentle but longing. As her eyes closed, she sighed against his mouth—finally letting go of a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.

When they broke apart from each other, Aubrey lingered mere inches from his face. “I do trust you, and I love you, Kel.”

She could feel the warmth of his breath as he laughed. “Enough to marry me?” he teased, and though she could feel the blush in her face, she pressed her palm to his cheek.

“Yes.”

He pulled away sharply, and his eyes widened. “Woah, seriously?” Aubrey’s blush deepened, but she shrugged her shoulders. “You want me to get that ring, now?”

“You really want to propose in your backyard?” she bantered.

Kel’s brow furrowed. “What’s wrong with that?”

“Usually it’s somewhere more…” She paused trying to think of that right word. “special.”

“Okay, princess,” he teased, rolling his eyes though there was something playful and affectionate in them. “What did you have in mind?”

“I don’t know…it would be nice if somebody could get a picture of it.”

“Basil, maybe?” hummed Kel. “But then we’d probably have to invite Sunny and Hero too so they wouldn’t feel left out, so we’d have to find some place that was big enough for them all to hide.”  

Her brow furrowed. “Why would they have to hide?”

“Because I want to surprise you.”

Aubrey laughed. “Good luck with that. I already know it’s coming.”

“Yeah, but you don’t know when. Now that you’ve given me the greenlight, I can propose whenever I want,” he bantered, but he beamed at her. “I won’t wait too long though, don’t worry.” He ruffled her hair before she laughed, and he wrapped his arm around her. She leaned her head on his shoulder watching the sun disappear below the trees at the edge of the yard.

“I’m not worried,” she said. And she wasn’t. Not anymore.

aAAAAAH ok lemme just say that when i saw u wrote an entire PARAGRAPH about kelbrey it made me SO EXCITED BECAUSE I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THEIR DYNAMIC!!!!! ITS COMPLEX AND COMPLICATED AND WHEN THEIR DYNAMIC IS SHOWN RIGHT, ITS SHOWN RIGHT 😄

goooosh i love them being soft too especially the BUILDUP that they both need to just have that softness. to hold eachother’s hand, to kiss eachother for the first time—it makes me so enthusiastic because i KNOW that when kel and aubrey kiss its not like anything else theyve ever experienced before. honestly, im a multishipper whos open to a lot of new ships (even when I have clear biases…oops lol) so i like the more popular ones more or less but i usually like the thought of those other ships being relationship experience for both kel and aubrey so when they get together finally its like Wow. After all that fighting and denial and wanting for someone who gets (or atleast, understands much better) what they’re actually going through, they both just click and find their missing piece. sure, to some it might not look like it fits with their back and forth banter—but then again, what if that means that it’s the best connection out of all the other ones? that kel and aubrey can match eachother’s energy reliably, always, and understand eachother better than anyone else because of it? if you think of kim being aubrey’s teenage girlfriend who Was A Great Person but just didn’t really get it, couldn’t actually start to understand how hard everything was for aubrey, then the interactions they have in omori are taken at a much deeper value than just surface level. and if you like, say, kel and sunny, sure they seem once again like the perfect pair. and maybe, to some people, sunny’s stotic and curious nature combined with kel’s fun and charming nature looks like the perfect duo, but honestly to me—once again, it just paints someone in h the relationship as the supporter 😅 kel is always there to put a smile on sunny’s face but imo his character isnt able to be explored individually as well because its just reduced to “sunny’s excitable boyfriend”. i LOVE LOVE LOOVE kel and aubrey together because their complexities just. match so well and we can analyze and explore how they’re eachother’s foils, how they see eachother, how if they got in a relationship (after admittedly, maybe some more peaceful circumstances that can nudge them to see eachother in a more positive light) itll be clear that like. WOW. they arent just eachother’s foils, they’re fully capable of being compliments too!!! compliments that WORK INCREDIBLY WELL!!!! GAAHHHH /pos

ok so as i look back on this i realize that i totally rambled so much more than i thought i would. SORRY HAHDB I JUST LOVE THEM SM and theyre just so interesting honestly

GAHHHHH U LIKE GOOD OMENS AND ARE A HUGE KELBREY FAN I LIKE GOOD OMENS AND AM A HUGE KELBREY FAN LETS BE FRIENDS PLEASE :D

whats ur fav kelbrey fic. i love paper rings on ao3

OH OH OH YOU GET IT!!!!! I’d love to talk to you haha i love. having common interests with someone

Kelbrey Week - Day 4 - Free Day!

Transcript: *Flustered abt being held* "....you stink." "What?! No I don't!" "Yes, you do." "Well, if I stink so bad, you can just go, y'know." "..." "Weeell???" "I would go! But, it's cold. And you're... warm.." "Aubrey, you're warmer than I am." "So?!" "Just sayin'!"

@kelbreyweek IT'S FREE DAY, thus, it is their free day. It's cold in Faraway Town, and the (just new) couple decided to warm up in the most cliche way possible! (Well, it was Kel's idea-) And Aubrey has no idea how to react to affection, and so <3

[kelbreys-baseball-bat]

Kelbrey is by far my favorite ship in any fiction, ever. So much so, that when I was in the Omori fandom, I ended up writing fanfiction. The only fanfiction I have ever written. Seeing as this account has become active, I have decided to send it to you. Mostly because I still really like kelbrey and have a need to share this thing I wrote with more people. There's nothing weird in it, my brain would just not stop violently shaking until I had written some Adventures of Loverboy and Hatergirl.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/41137701/chapters/103118595

Kelbrey Week - Day 3 - Flower Languages

@kelbreyweek i forgot to @ you yesterday LMAO but yes Hiii <33

Basil tells Aubrey the meaning of a bunch of flowers, and camellia catches her eye for... some reason ;3 She asks him if she could have one camellia flower <3

Kel then proceeds to go home with the flower in his hair, and Hero asks where it was from. He says it's from Aubrey, and that Basil told her about it or something, he just shrugs it off. But Hero, being not as oblivious as his brother, knows that it means a special little something, and that if it was from Basil, it probably has a special meaning <3 And prompts him to look it up <3 And so...

Kelbrey Week - Day 2 - Aged Up

[Scribbles on a journal]

Aubrey came to my tournament today! I mean, I knew she probably would, but it was just so great seeing her! She'd been so busy with her psyche classes, I was worried she'd miss it. The others were so happy to see her too! She cut her hair too, I think it's really pretty it really suits her!

After the match, we all decided to ride over to Gino's, like old times! We got the bus to drop us off. It was snowing too! Aubrey was teasing me for tripping at the match earlier, so I took her hat and bolted off! I knew she probably couldn't catch me if I went full speed though, so I slowed down a bit. It's really nice seeing her, I missed having her around.

This takes place probably a couple years after the events of the game! They're all in college now!! Kel is a Varsity player at his school, and Aubrey's a psychology major! Naturally, they all aren't as close as they were as kids, but they keep in touch and still care about each other and still hang out!

Kel and Aubrey's friendship is less rough now, but they still tease each other like friends do. They're much.. softer now. Kel really likes Aubrey's company, and Aubrey really likes Kel's. There's something there that both of them... kinda notice, but don't acknowledge. For now <3

Kelbrey Week - Day 6 - Valentine's Day

"Happy Valentine's Day guys!!!" Kel says cheerfully as he starts pulling out small boxes of chocolate and hands it to his friends. Each of them tied with a ribbon, with a color that he associated with them. "I got one for each of you, and for your favorite kinds of chocolate too!!" Kel said, as he hands one to Basil. "Awww, Kel, you shouldn't have!" Basil smiles, as Sunny takes his box from Kel. Kel grinned proudly, but then glanced over at Aubrey. "Oh, and Aubrey! As for youu-" Aubrey had been only half paying attention to what was happening, trying not to think too hard about today and what Kel was doing. She looked over at him and sighed. "Kel, you know I'm not supposed t-" "I know!" Kel responded, still with a smile, as he rummaged through his bag again, "I know you're not supposed to have too many sweets! Sooo!" He pulled out a single Valentine's themed chocolate bar, with a small pink heart stickered on it. "I got you a smaller chocolate bar! I saw this at Othermart and thought it'd be perfect! It's dark chocolate, too! Your favorite!" Kel exclaimed, grinning widely at Aubrey as he hands it to her.

Aubrey was completely in shock at this. Her face was flushed pink, and she struggled to find words to say; even as she tried to think of a witty comment, she drew a blank. She then simply huffed and took the chocolate bar. "...Thanks, Kel." Kel put his hands in his pockets and smiled proudly, "No problem!" Aubrey stared at the bar for a moment. "...You do know I don't have anything to give right now, right?" Kel shrugged, "Didn't expect ya to! None of you have to give me anything, I just wanted to give you all a little treat on this special day!" He chuckled lightly. "Thank you, Kel. That's so sweet of you!" Hero said gratefully. Aubrey stared at the candy bar once again, thinking deeply. "Yeah... Sure is."

@kelbreyweek Okay soooo I might've gone a LITTLE overboard with this one– I had an entire scene in my head!!! I had to write it down!! And then I had this fun idea with the drawing where I separate it the way I did! With the silly borders and everything!!! Makes sense, since this is gonna be my last installment, I have no more ideas and my inspiration juice has run dry :[ But it was SO FUN while it lasted :D

After this moment, Aubrey opens the chocolate bar and finds that it's engraved with the words "I LOVE YOU" into the chocolate itself. Aubrey is flustered as all hell, but of course Kel was not aware of this (he quite literally just saw it on the shelf, read that it was dark chocolate, and nabbed it-)

ALSO!!! BONUS SCENE AGAIN!! Along with extras <3

After a little bit, Aubrey stops by Othermart to find something to give Kel, cuz she feels he deserves to get something back regardless what he said! Then she saw this little brown and orange teddy bear and just immediately thought, "...That's Kel." and got it <3333

here's the full image btw, and variations!

QUICK BEFORE IT BECOMES THE NEXT DAY

Kelbrey Week - Day 5 - Prom

"Aubrey! About time, it's about to start!! Where have you been!?" "Jeez, calm down, will ya?? There's still 15 minutes left 'til it starts!"

@kelbreyweek PROMMM!!! And yes, they have the DRIP. Pros of formal wear events: I can give them drip. Cons: I have to design the drip. I HATE designing clothes it's so so hard, but this time it actually came a lilll bit more easily? BUT I'M STILL ALMOST LATE-

Anyways, have a bonus scene:

"Kel, what in the world is up with your tie??? It's a mess!" "Ah- W-Well I was sorta in a rush, and Basil said it was alright so-" "Basil doesn't know how to tie a tie! *Sigh* Here." "?" "This is supposed to be pulled higher, and this is supposed to be tucked in the back. And you even have a pin! And you aren't even using that right!" "Hey, I know how to tie a tie, I was just in a rush okay!?" "Whatever, Kel."

the song soft bitch by rio Romeo and the song p.u.n.k girl by heavenly. With kelbrey ♥️

SOFT BITCH OOOOOH I adore it I love it, it fits so well with Aubrey <3 It's so cute and the way it emphasizes how she used to be edgy is so so adorable. She's the softest bitch she knows because of love <333 Adding this into my future playlist for sure!!

And P.U.N.K Girl... It's a bit more of a tough one, but I can see what you're going for. I assume this is Kel towards Aubrey! Though Kel was definitely equally aggressive towards Aubrey when she was angry at him, I guess it fits the idea that he can see through her and remembers the Aubrey she used to know.

P is for the painful way she made him feel sometimes, U is for the utopia she is some other times, N is for the new wave dreams she used to share with him, and K is for the kid in her he remembered her having <33333

My very first attempt at line extraction drawing (p.s. I have no idea what I'm doing)

Me and my friends had this running gag when getting to this part in Omori where we kept saying that, Kel COULD have slept with Aubrey on the couch JUST SAYING THERE WAS ENOUGH SPACE! So I made my dreams come true.

This also counts as a drawing practice using line extract! It.... works better with lineless sketchbooks... But I think it looks okay!

One of my favorite Kelbrey comics I've drawn (besides the Seer Goggles one I REALLY need to start doing)

Kel is a dumbass <3

IDs under the cut

1ST IMAGE ID: [Aubrey's back is facing the viewer trying to reach something high, left hand on the counter and the right hand trying to reach up at a cabinet. She seems to be struggling.]

2ND IMAGE ID: [Aubrey is now leaning on the counter, front facing. She looks very annoyed, with her eyes shut, and is saying "Goddamn... shelf..."]

3D IMAGE ID: [It has Aubrey in the same position, but a shadow is now cast over her while she her eyes are are looking up at someone. Someone off screen is saying "Need some help?"]

4TH IMAGE ID: [It shows Kel cast in a shadow, the light being behind him. He has his right hand on his hip and smirking in amusement. In small text he is saying "Pff.. shortie."]

5TH IMAGE ID: [A closer drawing of Aubrey leaning on the counter, she seems to be a bit flustered, a seemingly confused expression on her face as she blushes. She says "Uh... Sure. Whatever."]

6TH IMAGE ID: [Aubrey and Kel are now in the same scene, Kel standing a bit from her as he looks up at the open cabinet, he is saying "Whaddya need?" Aubrey is still leaning on the counter, though she is blushing and looking away from Kel, responding with "...Cereal..."]

7TH IMAGE ID: [A closeup of Kel leaning very close to Aubrey, his head is out of the shot, saying "Oh, there it is!" His chest is inches from Aubrey's face as his right hand reach upwards, his left is leaning on the counter for support. Aubrey has a surprised and flustered expression on her face, and she is blushing.]

8TH IMAGE ID: [It is the full image of Kel leaning near Aubrey, he seems too focused on trying to grab the cereal to be able to acknowledge their position. His hand is in the cabinet above them, and his left hand is pinning Aubrey on the counter, he says "Just a sec. I almost got it". Aubrey looks utterly shocked, unable to say anything. Her face is bright red, along with her ears.]

9TH IMAGE ID: [There are two drawings in one. The first one is Kel now holding a cereal box out, with a proud expression on his face, saying "Here ya go! Perks of being tall am I–" In the second picture he is cut off with a hand snatching the box from him. His expression switches to surprised, similar to the surprised Pikachu meme. He continues his sentence in confusion, "...right?"]

10TH IMAGE ID: [Aubrey is sprinting away from Kel, as she holds the cereal box to her face, covering the bottom half of it. She is blushing immensely, as she says "WHATEVER– Thanks or some shit, dumbass–" Kel is in the background with a confused look on his face as he watches her leave.]

Welcome Kelbrey/BaseBall enjoyers!!

My name's Astro and I am here to deliver you Kelbrey content!

First and foremost, I might not be updating as much because I'm still in school and I have a LOT of things going on. But just know that I love them very much.

Second, tags:

Asks - #baseball asks

And third! Reasons as to why I love and adore Kelbrey. Prepare yourself for an essay:

Kel and Aubrey have that INCREDIBLE bond where they're constantly at each other's throats half the time, getting on each other's nerves and making fun of each other; but in any other case, every situation away from that, they care about each other so much. They bounce off each other SO well and it's amazing. They're constantly in agreement, but not to each other's face.

It's the best kind of relationship where, no matter how much they fight, or how many insults they've already thrown each other's way, when the moment comes, they're always by each other's sides, they're always gonna be there to support each other. They fight a lot, sure, but they always come back to each other. That kind of relationship is the best. Because if you're in a relationship where it's all sunshine and rainbows, disagreements are harder.... For them, they're so comfortable around each other that... disagreements are casual and somehow slowly resolves itself.

For example! At the picnic with Mari before going to Basil's house, Kel comforts Aubrey when she was about to cry, saying he doesn't like it when she cries, and reassures her about Basil. Aubrey accepts it and even smiles at him. In which, Kel says it's creepy (which is honestly probably Kel not knowing how to react to her smiling at him but shhhh) and them going back to their banter. Which makes them so human.... I love them SO MUCH.

Okay, that's that for now, because if I keep going, this'll become SEVERAL paragraphs.

I also like other ships in Omori, most of them actually! This is just my favorite, a little bias perhaps..... Anyways! Enjoy the blog! Good job for getting this far!
