May the fun commence

hey this the first fanfic i've ever posted so like if you could give any notes that would be really appreciated and also go a little easy maybe... possible pls.

summary: Y/N a college student who is traveling to Malibu beach and have a fun vacation and maybe get to know her crush Marlow a bit more, while also avoiding Tara the most annoying person. Little does she know that maybe more interesting paths await her at this beach house. Tara carpenter a free spirted women who likes to have her fun drinking and hanging out with friends and avoiding the one person she knows won't be here Y/N.

Part 1, Part 2

Loud sounds of pelting rain hit the roof. As Y/N sits in her room with the murmurs of the television in the background which has been forgotten. Scrolling through her Instagram mindlessly noticing everyone enjoying their summer, FOMO at an all time high. She has a long exhale of breath as she sees her crush Marlows’s post. Jealousy consumes her as she analyzes the photo of a random girl’s arms wrapped around their body. To close for her comfort she thinks. Quickly scrolling past to see her friend Alva’s post about her lavash vacation and the summer sun, wishing she could be there.

Yet here she lays in the comfort of her bed wasting the day away. You see it’s not like she wasn’t invited to come along with them on their vacation. She just said no. Her parents didn’t mind her going, it's just that sometimes they embarrass her. When she told them that her friends wanted her to come along on their vacation her parents were fine with it; they were actually happy. They couldn’t wait to get their daughter out of their house for some alone time and so their daughter could have fun.

To Y/n credit she was packing to get ready to go but then her mum pulled the stunt of giving her condoms and a sex talk and that just made her not want to go. So now the envy of her friends having fun, well she was stuck at home once again was on her this time, but maybe it was for the best since Tara Carpenter was there. A part of her didn’t mind that she wasn’t on Malibu Beach sun tanning and basking in the warm air but the other part was so pissed off.

A knock was heard at Y/N’s door, “darling hey I was just coming up to see if you were okay or needed anything?”. Her mother questions at the closed door. “Ah no i’m good thanks though mum” Y/N heard her mother sigh as her footsteps became distant. Is it possible for my summer to get any worse she thought to herself. *DING* the sound of a notification rang out into her room, her screen lighting up from the right of her. Of Course it could, why the hell would it not. There on her locked screen lit up a notification of a post Marlow just uploaded and in the tagged mentions was Tara Carpenter insta. As Y/N clicked the notification the image of Tara and Marlow was brought up to her face. The two of them grinning into the camera with their eyes covered by sunglasses. Marlow was wearing a wife beater while Tara had an unbuttoned Hawaiian style shirt and a Nike sports bra underneath.

Now normally Y/N would be smiling at this photo like a kid in a candy store but she couldn’t seem to hold that expression not when Tara was in it arms crossed over her chest, abs on display her biceps popping out with the sweat that dripped from her arms. Ugh why the hell did Tara have to ruin everything. She just had to be friends with Marlow. I mean who cares if they were friends since the start of college, maybe Y/N didn’t want Tara to ruin her only chance with Marlow.

That’s it this is how my love life is going to be something or someone is going to always get in the way. No matter what. I am just destined to be alone forever. Y/N thinks to herself as she continues to see her mutuals all hanging out and having fun, couples kissing each other and posting about their life while on vacation. She then decides to get up and leave her room and go somewhere. I mean she has several more weeks before she’s back at school. Maybe she should just go to Malibu and hang with her friends. They did say that she could fly over and stay at their villa when she was ready, and this is her being ready.

Y/N packs her bags once again and heads down stairs where she sees her parents in the living room. They both turn when they hear her footsteps coming down the stairs. “Hey honey, what are you doing with those bags?” her mum asks. “I’ve decided to get ready to leave for that vacation with my friends in LA” Y/N says looking at her mother with her head held high. “Well that’s wonderful news, but how are you going to get there darling? Flights are already fully booked for the next 2 weeks” her father responded with a confused look on his face. Amelia nudges her husband. “I was just going to drive there, nothing says great freedom like taking a 9 hour and 53 minute drive from here to LA, well LA Malibu beach” Y/N responded. “ Well okay then have a fun message when you get there and remember safe sex is the best option besides no sex but you know what i mean” her mother smiles at her giving her a wink. “Ew mum like I said I am not going to have sex i’m just going to hangout with Alva and the others” Y/N responded while walking out the front door towards her car. “Okay well don't forget that you have to wear protection when you get a little frisky with girls honey and also, please understand you could still get an STD!” her mother shouts out towards her. “Yes, I know mum, I take health class!” Y/N responded back, packing her bags into her car.

She hops into the front of her car and puts the directions on her GPS and connects her phone so she can listen to music on her way there. As she’s driving off she decides that this time is probably the best to get herself a coffee. So she pulls up to a cafe and off onto the road she goes.

Several hours of driving and great playlist’s later she arrives at the villa Alva messaged her when she was driving down. At this moment she second guesses herself on whether or not she should be here. Then she sees Alva on the balcony and texts her telling her she's here, she can see Anika read it since Alva bolts from the balcony 2 minutes later she’s running out of the front door and towards Y/N’s car. “You actually came!!! Oh my god, holy shit I really thought you were bullshitting again.” “At this moment I really do wish I was too.” Y/N responded with dread filling her face.

“Oh come on, it's not that Y/nn” Alva responded by wrapping her arm around her shoulder and dragging her along with her. “Not that bad?... look how many people are here.” as Y/N scans the driveway jammed packed with cars like a goddamn puzzle. With the music blasting out to the where the two stand outside facing the front entrance. “Look it’s really not this packed all the time we just so happen to have a party the day you arrived….” Alva says well looking away from Y/N to the house. Y/N turns back to face Anika and gives her a raised eyebrow “oh really? You know that's pretty weird considering you’re good at planning ahead of time and you knew I was going to be here today.” Alva doesn’t look at her as she response “what… that’s not-” in the middle of Anika responding she turns to Y/n to explain and see the really? Face Y/n is giving her “okay maybe i did know… but it doesn’t matter now you're here and you are going to have fun with me.” Alva gives Y/N a big smile and drags her to the house by her forearm. ‘May the fun commence.. I guess’ Y/n thought as she entered the front door.

Star Gala Dress 3

Starscream x human

Word count:1.2k

Warnings: smut, vavleplug, tiny/giant. Sex with emotions

Took me a while to finish this because I lost motivation for a little, finally finished it tonight, now I'm gonna head to bed because it's 2am.

Starscream masterlist

________________

The flight back was quick. And when starscream landed their hands were on him the Starscream lets out a low possessive growl as his human eagerly grasped at his frame the moment they returned to his suite. impatient hands roaming his helm and faceplate, pressing kisses to his mouth as he carries them through the halls towards his Berth.

He traces his digits against their skin pulling lightly at the dresses straps before his servo wraps around pulling them closer, relishing their sweet little sigh against his lips. “So eager, my little spitfire," he rumbled approvingly.

"You are a rather subtle tease with that display tonight. It has left me...thoroughly overcharged, and I intend to indulge." He outrightly purs against their skin. They lean into his touch, Their hands slowly undoing the top of their dress for Starscream. biting their lip lightly as part of the dress drops leaving their chest exposed to his optics.

Starscream let out a low appreciative rumble as they began undoing the fine material of the dress under his gaze. Tracing feather light touches against their back and sides.

As more of their skin is revealed, his engine revved faintly in response. "So tempting, my pet," Starscream purred. Leaning in, his lips trace their shoulders as he indulges in the texture of their skin. passing his glossa across the beauty marks and blemishes without a care, eliciting a delightful sigh from them as they lean back into him, one hand tracing the side of his face.

Trailing light touches down their sides, Starscream paused by their hip joints. "Hmm, it seems this troublesome dress has one more secret," he purred silkily. With quick digits he pulls at the remaining fabric down, revealing even more of their skin to his gaze. "So responsive to my touch, primus. you're such a delightful little thing to unwrap. all just for me." Sliding his fingertips lower, Starscream traced designs on their abdomen. "I detect your overheating, my pet." he mumbles against their skin. Slowly he guided them back, onto the Berth which made them giggle softly as they continued to admire him.

Starscream gazed down at his eager lover with half-shuttered optics, engine rumbling approvingly at the tempting sight before him. Trailing light touches along their body, Starscream paid close attention to each tiny sigh and shiver. His fingers gradually grew more focused, teasing sensitive skin as they dip down between their thighs. His glossa follows lapping against their skin as he nips at the tender flesh of their stomach. digits pumping slowly at first, steadily increasing pace and pressure with each moan that falls from their lips.

He nips and whispers praise in both Cybertronian and Terra to them as he worships their smaller form, learning every curve, mark and print of their skin as he presses kisses to each freckle as if they were constellations. He's slow, sweet and tender with them. He would never allow anyone else to ever see him like this, so willing to please another.

When he judged them ready, Starscream withdrew his fingers, letting his glossa lap against their sex when he finally pulled away his bulk slowly moving, letting out loud creaks and clicks as he positioned his spike. Slowly, he began to press into their much smaller and softer body, lavashing in the sweet tightness as they cling to the ridges of his plating. Starscream lets out a low moan at the exquisite sensation that is their body. Inch by inch he filled them, pausing when needed, asking if they needed to stop and to allow their much smaller frame to adjust to his size. "By the Allspark, you feel divine..." the jet rumbled once fully seated.

The bulge of their stomach is almost sinful under the gaze of his optics, one of his servos cup their face admiring his little human split on his spike. Eager moans and whines fall from their lips as they try rocking back against his spike. “Starscream” his name comes out as a desperate whimper and it sets his fuel line Alight.

Bracing on sturdy arms, Starscream set a deliberately slow pace, not wishing to rip or tear anything with his spike. Each thrust has him reaching deeper to rub every sensitive spot within. His free hand roamed their body cuping, squeezing and pulling at their skin as it leaves bruises, bite marks and hickeys across their form as if they were a painting.

the Seeker let out a satisfied vent and drew them close. "Simply divine," he purred, nuzzling them gently. They moan loudly, hooking their legs around his waist. they look divine under him so full for such a small frame yet they took him just as any Cybertronian would. Starscream rumbled appreciatively at the sight of their abdomen bulging with his spike. His fans kick on as he nuzzled against their neck. " You take my spike so perfectly I can think of nothing but you..." he purred silkily against their ear.

"Fuck starscream don't stop please don't stop!" They gasp out through the moans that slip past their lips, pulling him into another kiss which drives the Seeker feral. Arms lock around his neck.

Starscream lets out a hiss from how tightly they grip him as their body desperately attempts to milked his spike, urging him closer to the brink of overload. Breaking the kiss just enough to speak, the mighty Seeker growled, "By Unicron, you squeeze me so perfectly,. I won't last much longer at this pace!" pistoning his hips with urgency while his other servo once again cups their face intending to watch them as they orgasm.

The steamy sounds of their frames slapping together and the cries of pleasure spurred him on more, he becomes rougher digits digging into the berth as he restrains himself from losing control fully. with a final thrust and cry of their name, a blinding overload claimed his sensors. Load after load of transfluid flood his lover's much smaller body, it leaks out onto the berth but neither could care at that moment.

Venting heavily in the aftermath, Starscream nuzzled his tiny human affectionately. "Stunning like little light," Starscream purred with a sated smirk. They lay there panting, slowly tracing Starscream's face, leaning up to kiss him. Whining at how full they feel, slowly melting against his frame as starscream rolls over bringing them to rest atop of him.

"You seemed to find great pleasure in teasing me," the Seeker mumbled against their skin. They let out a content sigh followed by laughter. “That I do Handsome, and you seem to enjoy it just as much” they coo back at him.

He trailing light touches along their back, following the path of their spine down to their butt which he grabs and slaps earning him a shout of protest. Starscream chuckles as the pleasant vision of their saited form. “stay with me tonight, I… I enjoy having you close” it wasn't often Starscream asked instead of demanded things and it makes them smile. “I didn't plan on leaving” they call hum as they sprawl out across his chestplates soaking in the warmth that radiates off his large form. “goodnight Stars” “easy recharge sweet light”

What would be considered a typital lunch in Armenia?

I’d like to preface this by saying that I am probably the worst person to answer your question. First of all, I’m a vegetarian, which is already a big deviation from the traditional Armenian diet, and secondly, because of my complicated relationship with food. That being said, I’ll give you a very general answer and hope I won’t mislead you.

Traditionally, lunch (midday) meals in Armenia are light, with the main meal usually taking place around 5-7 p.m., after work.

A typical lunch may include

various wraps (like shawurma) with lavash (Armenian flatbread).

Jengyalov hats (Armenian bread with jengyal – greens) - a flatbread filled with about 25 types of greens. The recipe and the variety of greens used differ depending on the region.

Vegetable salads are common, often made with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and herbs like parsley or cilantro. Here, we eat a lot of fresh herbs—when I say a lot, I mean handfuls of fresh greens (kanachi) at a time.

Another popular dish is lahmajo - a Middle Eastern flatbread topped with minced meat, usually beef or lamb, minced vegetables, and herbs.

Soups are also typical for lunch—simple broths with vegetables, spas (a yogurt-based soup with herbs and grains), or khash (a rich, slow-cooked beef or lamb soup, often eaten in winter with dried lavash and pickled vegetables).

Anyway, this is what comes to mind when I think of lunch.

For me personally (before my relationship with food became complicated), the perfect lunch was lavash with grilled sausage, chanakh cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers.

Low Cal Bread: The Ultimate Guide to Healthier Bread Options For Weight Loss

Bread is trendy, but standard bakery varieties are often high in calories and have minimal nutritional value. If you’re watching your weight or trying to eat healthier, regular bread can be challenging to incorporate into a calorie-controlled diet. Fortunately, there are now many excellent low cal bread options available. By making this switch, you can continue to enjoy toast, sandwiches, and more without exceeding your calorie budget.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the different types of low calorie bread, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each, and offer advice on selecting and savoring healthier bread options. I aim to help you find nutritious, low-calorie bread varieties that align with your dietary goals and preferences.

What is Low Cal Bread?

Low-calorie bread refers to bread varieties that have fewer calories compared to regular bread slices. They typically contain 70-120 calories or fewer per serving, enabling individuals to incorporate bread into a calorie-controlled diet for weight loss or health objectives. Common types of low cal bread include whole grain, flatbread, pita, tortilla, and lower calorie sliced bread options.

Types of Low Cal Bread

Several main categories of bread generally contain fewer calories than traditional varieties. Let’s look at each one in more detail.

Whole Grain Breads

As the name implies, whole grains consist of the entire grain kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. This makes them higher in fiber, nutrients, and protein than refined grains.

100% whole grain breads include whole wheat, oats, rye, and quinoa varieties. They typically contain 70- 120 calories per slice.

Sandwich Thins and Flatbreads

Light and crispy thin sandwich “breads” such as flatbreads, lavash, and matzos provide an alternative to sliced loaves. With 60-90 calories per piece, they satisfy cravings with fewer calories. Varieties made with whole grains add nutrients.

Low Calorie and Diet Breads

Low-calorie and diet bread is formulated to reduce the calorie count by removing fat, sugar, and sometimes fiber. These sliced breads contain approximately 45-80 calories, thanks to ingredient adjustments. Brands offer varieties such as white, wheat, and gluten-free.

Pita and Tortilla Breads

Wraps made from pita, lavash, or large tortillas offer convenience, containing approximately 70-110 calories each wrap. Whole-grain versions increase the fiber content.

Bread Alternatives

For those seeking to eliminate bread, crunchy vegetable “chips” made from cauliflower, broccoli, or sweet potato offer textures with minimal calories (30-50 calories per bag).

Whole Grain Breads: A Nutritious Foundation

Whole grain varieties should be your go-to, low-calorie bread option when nourishing your body. Here are a few key reasons why:

High Fiber Content: Fiber from whole grains slows down and prevents blood sugar spikes, which helps to keep you feeling longer. For a longer period.

Vitamin: Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support immunity, heart health, and more. Refined grains lose most of their nutrients.

Blood Sugar Control: The fiber, protein, complex carbs, and carbohydrates in whole grains help regulate sugar levels steadily and effectively compared to carbs. Carbohydrates.

Very Satisfying: Whole fills are highly nutritious and can effectively keep you feeling full, with 70-120 calories per slice.

Top picks include breads that contain 3 or more grams of fiber and 5 or more grams of protein per slice. The fiber and nutrients will keep you feeling satisfied on a low-calorie diet.

Tips for Choosing the Best Low Cal Bread

With the wide range of bread options available on grocery store shelves, it can be challenging to determine the healthiest choice. Use these tips when selecting a low calorie bread:

Check the Nutrition Facts label and ingredients list to verify it as a true whole grain variety containing 3+ grams of fiber and at least 5 grams of protein. Avoid excessive sodium.

Watch out for sneaky added sugars on nutrition labels, even in “whole grain” varieties. Five grams of sugar or less is best for a slice of bread.

Compare calorie counts – whole wheat bread typically ranges from 70-120 calories per slice, while lower calorie bread may have 45-80 calories per slice, depending on the recipe or formulation.

Consider the protein content in addition to fiber – protein is filling and helps regulate blood sugar levels. 5+ grams per serving is ideal.

Be skeptical of claims like “low carb” or “high protein” without verification of whole grain or fiber contents. Marketed aggressively but not always healthiest.

Remember, it comes at a cost – flatbreads, pitas, and tortillas have more calories than sliced loaves for portability, but they also have calories and overall calorie content. Measure portions.

Experiment to find textures you enjoy for compliance – some appreciate lighter and fluffier low- calorie loaves versus denser 100% whole grain varieties.

Healthy Ways to Enjoy Low Cal Bread

Once you’ve stocked up on nutritious low calorie bread options, it’s time to start enjoying them! Try incorporating bread into your diet in these satisfying, low-calorie ways:

Open-Faced Sandwiches: Top slices of bread with your favorite sandwich fixings, then broil until lightly toasted for half the calories of a closed sandwich.

Bruschetta: Chop fresh tomatoes, herbs, and garlic and toss with balsamic for a zesty, crunchy bread topper full of flavor but few calories.

Toast & Avocado: Spread avocado in moderation on toasted bread for creaminess with monounsaturated fats to satisfy.

Pizza Rounds: Top pita bread or English muffin halves with pizza or pasta sauce, sprinkle with part-skim cheese, then broil until melted.

Quesadillas: Fill small whole wheat tortillas with desired fillings such as beans, spinach, and cheese, then pan-fry crispy.

French Toast or Bread Pudding: Get creative with seasonal produce and Greek yogurt in these decadent yet lower-calorie recipes.

Croutons: Cut bread into cubes, toss with olive oil and seasoning, and bake until crispy for crunchy salad or soup toppers.

Enjoying bread mindfully in small portions with lean protein and fiber-rich veggies makes it an integral part of a balanced, heart-healthy diet. Just be strategic with the type of bread and toppings chosen.

Armenian Food History: A Journey Through Culinary Traditions

Introduction

Armenian cuisine is a rich tapestry of flavors, influenced by the country's history, geography, and cultural diversity. This article delves into the fascinating history of Armenian food, exploring its origins, staple ingredients, traditional dishes, and the cultural significance of culinary traditions. Join us on a mouthwatering journey through the diverse and flavorful world of Armenian cuisine.

Armenian Food: A Reflection of Cultural Heritage

The Significance of Food in Armenian Culture

In Armenian culture, food holds a special place. It is not merely sustenance but a means of connecting with family, friends, and the community. Sharing meals is a cherished tradition, fostering bonds and creating lasting memories. Armenian hospitality is legendary, and food plays a central role in expressing warmth and generosity.

Staple Ingredients in Armenian Cuisine

Wheat: The Grain that Sustains

Wheat is a staple ingredient in Armenian cuisine, providing the foundation for various breads, pastries, and dishes. Armenians are known for their love of bread, and lavash, a thin, unleavened flatbread, is a culinary icon of Armenia. Other wheat-based dishes, such as gata (a sweet pastry) and anushabur (a soup made with wheat berries), also showcase the importance of this grain.

Meat and Dairy: Cornerstones of Armenian Cooking

Meat and dairy products occupy a significant place in Armenian cuisine. Lamb, beef, and poultry are commonly used in dishes like khorovats, a traditional Armenian barbecue. Dairy products such as yogurt and cheese are essential ingredients in many recipes, adding richness and depth of flavor to dishes like basturma (cured beef) and tolma (stuffed grape leaves).

Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs: A Bounty of Flavors

Armenia's favorable climate and fertile land allow for the cultivation of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Apricots, pomegranates, figs, and grapes are among the fruits that thrive in the region. Vegetables like eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs such as mint and parsley are integral to Armenian recipes, providing freshness and vibrant flavors.

Traditional Armenian Dishes

Khorovats: The Art of Armenian Barbecue

Khorovats, a traditional Armenian barbecue, is an integral part of Armenian culinary culture. It involves marinating meat, typically lamb or pork, in a flavorful blend of spices and grilling it over open flames. The result is succulent, charred pieces of meat that are often enjoyed with lavash, fresh herbs, and pickled vegetables.

Dolma: Stuffed Delights

Dolma is a beloved dish in Armenian cuisine. It consists of various vegetables, such as grape leaves, bell peppers, or cabbage leaves, stuffed with a savory mixture of rice, ground meat, herbs, and spices. Dolma is typically served with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of lemon juice, adding tanginess to the dish.

Lavash: The Versatile Flatbread

Lavash, a soft, thin flatbread, holds a special place in Armenian cuisine. It has been a staple for centuries and is used in various ways. It serves as a wrap for khorovats, a base for toppings in dishes like lahmajoun (Armenian pizza), and even as a utensil to scoop up food. Lavash is versatile, delicious, and an indispensable part of Armenian meals.

Harissa: A Hearty Porridge

Harissa is a traditional Armenian porridge made with cracked wheat and meat, usually chicken or lamb. The dish is slow-cooked for several hours until the grains and meat meld together, resulting in a thick and hearty porridge. Harissa is often enjoyed during festive occasions, and its comforting flavors evoke a sense of nostalgia and tradition.

The Influence of Armenian Cuisine on the World

The Spread of Armenian Culinary Traditions

Armenian cuisine has left an indelible mark on the culinary landscape of the world. As Armenians migrated to different parts of the globe, they brought their culinary traditions with them, influencing the cuisines of various countries. Armenian dishes like dolma, pilaf, and baklava have found their way into the kitchens and hearts of people around the world.

Armenian Diaspora: A Global Impact

The Armenian diaspora has played a significant role in promoting Armenian cuisine internationally. Armenian communities in different countries have established restaurants, bakeries, and food businesses that showcase the flavors and traditions of their homeland. These establishments not only preserve Armenian culinary heritage but also introduce it to a wider audience.

Preserving and Celebrating Armenian Food Culture

Food Festivals and Culinary Events

Armenians take pride in their culinary heritage and celebrate it through food festivals and culinary events. These gatherings bring together people from different backgrounds to savor traditional dishes, share recipes, and pass on culinary knowledge to younger generations. Events like the Yerevan Wine Days and the Dolma Festival highlight the richness and diversity of Armenian cuisine.

Traditional Cooking Techniques and Utensils

Armenian cuisine has a wealth of traditional cooking techniques and utensils that have been passed down through generations. From the tonir (a clay oven used for baking bread) to the saj (a domed griddle for making lavash), these tools play a vital role in preserving the authentic flavors and textures of Armenian dishes. The use of traditional methods adds a unique charm to the culinary experience.

The Role of Food in Armenian Festivities

Armenian festivities are incomplete without a lavish spread of food. Whether it's weddings, New Year celebrations, or religious holidays like Easter, food plays a central role in bringing people together and honoring traditions. Special dishes like gata (sweet bread) during Easter and choreg (buttery, braided bread) during Christmas add a sense of occasion and joy to these festivities.

Conclusion

Armenian food history is a vibrant tapestry of flavors, influenced by centuries of cultural exchange and a deep-rooted connection to the land. From the delicious aromas of khorovats on a summer evening to the comforting warmth of harissa on a winter's day, Armenian cuisine reflects the spirit, hospitality, and resilience of its people. As the world embraces diverse culinary traditions, Armenian food continues to captivate and delight, sharing its rich history one bite at a time.

brothers S/O proposing like them (obey me)

Oh he loved this,

Lucifers (while not my favorite) was a simple yet sweet proposal

He’s confused when you suddenly approach him while he works away in his office, your hands resting on his slumped shoulders gently squeezing to relieve at least a little of the tension in them.

He’ll set down his quill and shift to look up at you as you beamed at him

He’ll go soft before inquiring why you were here?

And then you’ll tell him, gentle smile on your face you’ll cup his cheeks and press your head to his

And then you say it

You’ll say you loved him, that out of any being in the three worlds you wanted to spend your time with him, you’ll say how much you love him and how deep your love runs

Lucifer will break out in a grin, pride and love swarming his body and making his head go fuzzy

he’ll hold you tight in his arms, face pressed into your stomach so you cant see his glossy eyes

He’ll accept with his voice only slightly quivering

Almost a member of the “yeah i cried” squad

You walked into Lucifer’s office, the large doors creaking a bit as you entered. You knew he could sense your presence as you quickly walked up behind him, your hands coming to rest against his shoulders. Squeezing gently you kissed the top of his head. Lucifer set down his quill letting out a small sigh as his shoulders slumped, he shifted in his chair, red gaze fixing on your (e/c) eyes. They softened at the sight of you, a tinge of relief quickly washed away as he opened his mouth to speak, “y/n? Why have you come here? Do you need something? I swear if mamon has done something again…” he trailed off, thin brows knitting together as he began to plan how to string up the second born.

You let out an airy laugh before shaking your head, (h/l) (h/c) hair swaying with the movement. “No luci, it isn’t mammon…” you paused, delicate (s/t) hand cupping his cheek, thumb suning over his porcelain skin. His eyes widened and his cheeks reddened slightly, he could feel the love in your touch and he could see the adoration in your eyes. “I love you luifer, in all the beings in the tree worlds I want to spend my life with you, i love you so deeply lucifer, for all of your faults and flaws, and every little thing about you, that’s why i want to spend the days with you. Lucifer, please marry me.”

His long arms wrapped around you, his face buried in the fabric of your shirt. You couldn’t see his face, couldn’t see the prideful grin or glassy eyes, and definitely couldn’t see how flushed his cheeks were .

You remained like that for a moment, gently smoothing his hair as his grip never faltered. “Yes” he said, the strain in his voice muffled and hiding the slight quiver it carried. Soon enough he pulled back, gleaming ruby eyes now soft and brimming with the love he felt, he pulled you down and you could feel the love head for you brimming from his fingertips, you could feel the devotion and adoration threw the touch of his lips as he kissed you deeply, and you could feel the joy as he held you close.

Mammon

First member of the “yeah I cried” squad

He was super confused when you came running up to him with a defeated looking luck and solomon

Seriously who died (too soon?)

When he turns and asks what your up to and you pull out a radio hes even more confused??

And then you start singing and dancing and he goes 0o0

It finally dawns on him that “OH SHIT AIN’T THIS THE SAME WAY I PROPOSED”

You didn’t even get the hole thing done (much to luke and solomons relife) because mammon nearly tackled you into a hug, lavashing your flushed face with all the kisses that he could

He absolutely loved this

Like hes full on bawling and blabering, wiping his eyes and saying hes not crying over some dumb human

*HIS dumb human

You had a broad grin on your face and a bounce in your step as you carried the small speaker/radio. Your cheery aura was a stark contrast to the two behind you. Luke and Solomon followed behind with deep set frowns, a look of dread and embarrassment etched into their eyes. The moment you saw the familiar fluffy white hair you immediately made a b-line towards the greedy demon. “Oh great mammon!” you called out knowing he secretly (not so secretly) loved it. “What’d Ya want, human?” he asked feigning annoyance despite his flushed cheeks. Your grin grew as you set down the speaker putting on the song you picked out, the bumping beat starting as Luke and Solomon danced miserably. Mamon stared at you, confused out of his mind until you started to sing.

“We’re no strangers to love~ you know the rules, and so do I!” you sang as mammons azure eyes stared at you, wide and shocked. Blowing him a cheeky kiss you kept singing “a full commitment what i’m thinking of! You wouldn’t get this from any other (prefered pronouns)!” you did a little spin, pointing directly at mammon. “ I~ just wanna tell you how i’m feeling~ gotta make you understand-” you were about to get to the chorus when a blur of white and orange flew at you, the air was almost knocked out of your lungs as mammons arms wrapped around you pulling you into his chest. “Yes! yes,yes, yes! Of course i’ll marry ya! I am your man after all!” he practically shouted, bright blue eyes flowing with tears down his dark skin. One arm came up to wipe his face, sniffling slightly. “I ain’t crying! Not ‘cause some stupid human proposed to the great mammon” he looked down at you with frantic eyes, “ya did propose right!?” he asked, you chuckled and nuzzled your face into his chest, “of course that was a proposal you dummy” a wide grn spread arocss his face as he planted kisses acros your flushed cheeks, forehead, and nose. He bent down slightly, arms hooking behind your knees as he effortlessly housed you into the air, spinning you around. “IM GONNA BE YOUR MAN! YER GONNA MY SPOUSE! MY HUMAN”

Luke and solomon just sighed, quickly scampering away to avoid any further embarrassment as you two shared this sickly sweet moment.

Levi

Second member of the “yeah i cried” squad

So doing this took FOREVER because you straight up made a video game for him

It was a simple 8-bit game with levels like pacman and mario, it also held a tone of easter eggs from tsl you knew he’d enjoy

The story levels are based on the little adventures you two have gone on, including a danganronpa style recreation of the tsl quizz thing were you got his pact.

The hole game is threw his eyes but he gets little snips of your thoughts (you play a side character who follows him) about how much you love him

He beats the game pretty quickly and is about to hand it back to you and say he liked it when he hears the music of the final achievement screen.

Starts crying when he sees that you just proposed to him

His brain short circuits a bit

He accepts and gets really clingy

Also tried to pull that “ BuT I’m An IcKy OtAkU” bs so plz tell him u luv him and that he is poggers

Levi quirked his head to the side when you handed him the see-thru orange disc casse, inside a basic white game disc. “I-i uhhh, i made you a game and i want you to play it” you said, face red and fiddling with the hem of your shirt. Levi wanted to squeal, you were so cute being all blushy like in his otome games. He beamed his little ha-ha laugh ringing in the blue lit room, “of corse ill play it” he paused face lighting up red “s-sence you made it and all”

He gingerly placed the disc in his desktop disc slot, the game sliding in and roaring to life. Levi started to play, his slender fingers taping away at the wasd keys, his sprite character, that looks suspiciously like him, jumping and swimming over all the obstacles like he had played the game a thousand times. You smiled, sitting down next to him you waited for him to finish, you knew it wouldn’t be long, it was levi after all.

And soon enough he came to the final level, the sprite you had made to fallow him, the one that looked and acted suspiciously like you, had said they would go ahead and wait for him. So he sawm threw the last level, it was a simple water level with a few mini fights and a boss that levi said looked like mammon. You giggled as he noticed all of the easter eggs you placed, from his gaming headset, ruri-chan figurines, and henry 2.0, to all of his TSL merch.

Finally he beat the final level, he was about to turn to you for the kiss you gave him evry time he beat a game when more music started playing. Levi reconised this immediately “HUH!? Is that the wedding music from episode 248 of TSL when the lord of shadows has to crash a wed-” levi was about to start rambaling when his orange eyes caught a glimps of the screen.

Neon orange letters flashed and blinked back at him “Marry me great hero” he read outloud, slowly processing the letters that hung above the sprite character. It dawned on him in that moment, you had proposed, this game was a storey of the little things you did together. Gentle tears rolled down his cheeks as he turned to you “b-but im just a icky otaku! W-why would you” he trailed off, voice growing meek and near a whimper. You cupped his cheeks and kissed the corner of his eyes “because i love you leviathan, and your not an icky otaku, your an amazing boyfriend, and hopefully an amazing husband to?” you asked, waiting for his answer. He wrapped his arms around you pulling you against him tightly “Y-Yes! N-normie” you smiled and squished his cheeks “my little pogchamp~”

Satan

You had his full attention when you came into his room carrying a book

So when you hand it to him and tell him to read it you don’t have to tell him twice

Satan is a smart boy, so the moment he opens the book and its a picture-pop up book he knows exactly whats up

You make his heart all fuzzy with love instead of rage

Reads the hole book before setting it down and going into soft satan™ mode

Pulls you into his arm chair and buries his face in your neck

U aren’t leaving hun

He accepts and teases you about the hole soul mates thing

Tease him back cause that was his idea (his super fucking cute idea)

Once this little shit is done cuddling you he immediately go’s to brag about it to lucifer

Even better if lucifer comes looking for you in satan’s room and satan go’s “oh mc is just cuddling with me, their FUTURE HUSBAND”

Cheeky bastard

He keeps the book in a safe place and gets angry if someone even thinks about looking at it.

Reads it again in private and joins the “yeah i cried” squad, i’ll die on this hill

Satan’s teal eyes shot up the moment his door opened, he smiled gently as you walked in, apoliginging and hoping you weren’t bothering him. His interest was honed in on the book you hold in your hands, the dinky cover covered in small and large cat designs, his eyes drifted up to meet your (e/c) ones “hmm? y/n, what’s that book? “ He asked, curiosity taking hold of his mind. You smiled brightly and handed the book to him “ I made you a book! W-would you like to read it” you looked to the side shyly as you scratch your neck. You definitely didn’t have to tell him twice, he smiled gently and opened the book, the colorful illustrations popping out at him.

“It’s about the journey two soul mates go on” you said, oh he knew exactly what you were doing, but of course he still read the book. He felt his heart flutter at the small tales of your midnight walks, the time you two went to the cat shelter, and the times you two spent reading in his room, all of the little moments, and as he turned the last page of your picture book, the final illustration popping out. He looked at the picture, a small illustration of you standing in front of him, the bubbly letters “marry me?” written above with bold outlines.

He smiled gently, teal eyes locking with yours as he closed the book and set it down on top of one of the many stacks. He pulled you onto his lap in the arm chair, his blond hair tickling your cheeks as his face nuzzled into your neck. “Soul mates? How cheezy y/n, but i accept nonetheless.” he said chuckling. “Oh your one to talk mr. “I wanna spend my life with you, ur my soul mate” just remember this idea was YOURS first” you said giggling with him. He smiled, placing a chaste kiss on the corner of your lips.

“I can’t wait to rub it in Lucifer’s face,” he smirked, mind running with how he’ll gloat about this. You let out a breathy laugh, shaking your head at Satan’s ridiculousness. You were glad he had accepted, and little did you know the tears he shed once he was alone.

Asmo

Alright so the bouquet you got him was a combination of pink peonies and pink hydrangeas

It’s a very pretty bouquet

Pink peonies mean happy marriage and pink hydrangeas mean heartfelt emotion

Prepare to have lipstick smooch marks all over because the first thing asmo dose after he gets over his shock is hug you and give you a smooch

To think you would propose with his idea

And with such a beautiful bouquet!

Who knew you were knowledgeable about flower language

Honestly he’s really touched and the only reason hes not crying(pretty crying) is because his foundation was 50 grimm

You took a deep breath and knocked on asmos door, you knew better then to walk into his room of all places. One you hurd him give you the ok to come in, you pushed open the intricate door. Stepping inside you saw him infront of his walk in closet. “Hey asmo~ i have a surprise for you!” he whipped aroug now excited, “oh darling you shouldnt have!” he said waltzing twords you. From behind you back you pulled the bouquet of flowers, the shades of pink blending into one another the accents of green highlighting the intracat clusters of petals. “The hydrangeas symbolise heartfelt emotions, and the peonies represent happy marriage” you paused, his eyes were wide and his soft lips were pulling up into a smile.

“T-that’s because i want to marry you, from the bottom of my heart i love you…so…will you mary me” you asked, holding out the flowers to him. A gentle smile tugged at his lips and he took the flowers setting them aside on the bedside table.

He cupped your face in his hands, softly running his thumbs over your cheeks lovingly. “Oh y/n, of course I accept, after all you gave me a bouquet almost as beautiful as me! Who knew you knew flower language “ he said, eyes gleaming with love. He placed a passionate kiss on your lips, the shimmery pink lipstick leaving a sideways smooch mark on your lips.

You laughed as he guessed about wedding plans, deciding that he had to update his devil gram to “3 relms most beautiful spouse #1” and that you had to change yours to “3 relms most beautiful spouse #2” because you were of course just as radiant as he was, at least in his eyes.

Beel

Alright so this almost went horribly wrong

Beel eats plates lmao

So what you had to do was get him a box of cupcakes from madame screams +1 special cupcake that you put the ring on top of

He loves this idea but it takes him a minute to process what you meant

Once he dose tho he gets the biggest puppy grin and pulls you into a kiss

Of course he accepts

Immediately tells belphie because of course he has to be the first to know

You smiled as you walked into the kitchen, beels head immediately snapping towards you as his senses were filled with the smell of soft cakes and sweet frosting. He looked at you with hopeful pleading eyes, “yes beel, the cupcakes are for you” his two toned eyes lit up and his face cracked into a grin.

You happily watched him munch on the cupcakes eyes closed in a big grin and cheeks puffed out like a squirrel. He stopped for a moment and turned to you, offering a deep purple cupcake. “Ah, no thanks beel, these are for you, you eat them” you said with a loving smile, with that he turned to continue eating his cupcakes.

It wasn’t long before he was finished with the cupcakes and ready to go raid the fridge. “Wait beel! I-i have one more for you, but this one is a special one” you said, holding out the bright orange cupcake, the simple ring placed delicately on top of it to make sure beel didn’t eat it too. His eyes stared at it for a moment while he processed what you were asking. “y/n…are you?” he asked, voice laced with hope, you nodded, a shy grin plastered on your flushed face. Beel smiled wide, placing the ring on the kitchen counter and eating the cupcake in one bite, his strong arms wrapped around you holding you tight in his warm embrace. His lips were lightly stained with the colorful frosting dyes, the corner of his puppy-dog smile smeared with vibrant frosting. His now colorful lips met yours in a sweet kiss.

You giggled at the sweetness of the frosting, your lips now matching his with the color. Beel let out a rumbling chuckle before lavashing your stained lips with more kisses “you taste like frosting y/n” you laughed, hands cupping his cheeks and squeezing slightly “YOUR the one who taste like frosting beel”

You stayed like that for a while, just giggling and laughing with each other. Beel was beyond happy that you had proposed to him, and with his favorite thing (besides you and belphie), once belphie woke from his nap he would tell his twin the good news, altho with their odd tendency to be insync with each other, belphie might already know.

Belphie

Oh boy this was both the hardest and easiest thing to do

Final member of the “yeah i cried” squad

So finding belphie awake was the hard part, but when you texted him that you wanted to cuddle he damn near sprinted over because mans got priorities

When you told him to go to sleep he was like “yeah duh” cheeky bastard

He was a little annoyed when you woke him up a few minutes later but when he saw you holding his hand with the ring on it he started crying because fuck man, after all thats happened you still want him

You two have a good moment of emotional vulnerability because you’re one of the people belphie trust the most

First person he tells is beel, but first you’re taking a nap with him, no this isn’t a question its nap time.

Belphie groaned feeling his D.D.D vibrate, he was initially going to ignore it but decided against it. Looking at the bright screen he smiled seeing your name.

“Belphie come to my room”

“I wanna cuddle”

His eyes lit up and he sprang out of bed quickly making his way down to your room. He entered the room, smiling softly when your (e/c) eyes met his and brightened. You were sitting against your headboard in your hoodie and fluffy pajama pants, surrounded by soft pillows and blankets, some that were gifts from him. You patted your lap with a smile and belphie was almost instantly there, setting his cow print pillow next to you and laying his head in your warm lap. “Alright belphie, go to sleep” he scoffed slightly “mmm, that’s what i planned on” he said, slender yet toned arms wrapping around your waist as he snuggled into your stomach.

You chuckled and ran your fingers through his hair, the soothing motion quickly putting him to sleep. He couldn’t help it, between your softness, warmth, and your fingering tangled in his hair, he was out in seconds.

You were nice enough so you let him sleep for a little while, peacefully watching his chest rise and fall. After a while you gently slipped the ring onto his finger. You gently shook him awake holding back a giggle as he groaned and stirred, brows knitted together and he glared at you for only a moment before his eyes softened into a halfhearted scowl. “You’re lucky I love you y/n, mmmm, now why did you wake me up” he said looking up at you, he then noticed you were holding his hand, your fingers no longer in his hair but rather intertwined with his, a ring now placed on his finger. His eyes widened, tears welled in his eyes, the dusky irises going glassy as he stared up at you. “Belphegor, I love you. I want you to be there every morning when I wake up and every night when i go to sleep, your face is the one I want to wake up to, I love you belphie and I want to spend life together with you” you said, kissing the top of his nose.

His eyes welled with tears again and he sat up, the blue sleeves of his cardigan damp as he wiped his eyes. His arms wrapped around you squeezing you tightly, you returned the jester giving him a squeeze and petting his hair. “After all i’ve done…a-after I- you really want that?” he sobbed lightly. You kissed the top of his head and nodded. “Of course I do, i love you belphie, i’ve forgiven you, and i love you.” he wiped his eyes, now smiling gently at you “ i love you too, i want to wake up and go to sleep with you y/n”

He hugged you again, this time picking you up slightly as he fell backwards, you now on top of him. “But you still owe me for waking me up” he said, getting comfortable. “Nap time”
