"you gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful", surprise me 💛

Sorry Em, this ask is super duper old, but I finally found the perfect thing for this prompt and you already know it, but imma write it anyway

@jojo-rolo you might be interested too!

-----

The hospital bed was about as comfortable as it could be for Lizo. He was 69 now, and he was dying.

He had had his yearly xenogenetic physical to check on his health about a year ago and for the first time, it didn't look good. Lizo, you see, was a genetic hybrid mutant. Humanoid genes fused with reptilian DNA. He was a beta experiment, "Lizard-Zero" (Liz-0 for short), the first successful one of Dr. Natura Blossana. The first one that lived beyond about a day.

But to her surprise, he fought for life, and kept on living until he became a strange infant she didn't know how to care for. She logged every failure and success with her AI assistant, NEMFA, who kept steady track of his progress as an experiment. Every meal he ate, how much he slept, if he got sick, and everything else. The doctor would make sure he had stimulation, education, and enrichment. But due to her own issues with her own scientist parents, refused to be called 'mother'. She preferred 'creator' and that's what he called her as he learned to speak. Until a medical assistant said that that was silly and told him he should call Dr. Blossana "mother" or "mama" or "mom".

It was an innocent enough gesture, trying to normalize the boy's childhood a bit. But it had consequences.

"Mother? You're my mother, right?" Lizo asked one day as he was dropped off to daycare.

Natura's face darkened. "No, a mother births you. I created you in a lab. You're my experiment and therefore you are my responsibility as your 'creator'." She said each word as if she were picking them carefully out of ice. "THAT’s what you call me. Not a thing ELSE."

She had never taken such a frosty tone with him before. It changed things. It scared him. Put a wall of ice between them. He started engaging more with her staff than her. They were a caring bunch, but he didn't trust them much either, for a reason he couldn't come to understand until later, which was that they caused the rift between him and his creator. They might have other dangerous ideas that might backfire as well.

But soon, the more clinical way his mother treated him became more and more stiff. She stopped picking him up. Told him to stop crying instead of soothing him.

Eventually, he grew to resent her. He started to call her mother or Mom as a way to needle her, because it was the only way to get an emotional response out of her.

He became a scientist as well, downloading the newest banks of knowledge into his head and passing the exams to become a Xenogeneticist like her, if only because he realized he'd have to, in order to keep up his own health without her help. She'd moved on to different experiments as well, bored of the new form of life she'd brought into the world.

His teen years were cold and sterile, but at least he was wearing the white coat this time. He had his own lab now, his own experiments to run to better their organization and keep their agents safe in the field.

He didn't leave the homebase or his mother's house that often. Why should he? He had occupation with his work, and people to talk to there.

What need did he have for fun anymore? It was a waste of time he could be using to help people.

He thought that way until he was seventeen.

Until he met her.

Lavie Crane was lost, and had wandered into his lab to ask for directions. Not unusual, but he'd just dropped a pot of coffee all over himself and his worktable.

She saved his life by stopping him from absent-mindedly plugging in a tool in the soaked outlet and it made him stop short. He'd almost died of electrical shock! His mother would've laughed smugly at the funeral! Such a foolish mistake!

And as he was pondering death, Lavie Crane was rewriting his equations on his whiteboard, apologizing while doing so, but according to her calculations, he would've blown himself up because he forgot to carry the 3!

She was a fascinating specimen of a human. Wild, brash, intelligent as hell, but would make stupid mistakes like trying to fight a pro cage fighter, or jumping into a wild space-sheep's pen. He knew this because she became his first friend.

Then, he pined for her. It was like she'd blown open the windows and let in a refreshing breeze, drawing him outside the lab and experiencing life together. One could've made jokes about her being a 'manic pixie dream girl', but no. While she was impulsive, she knew exactly what she wanted and had goals to do cool shit just because it was, in fact, cool. Build ships. Build mecha armor. Learn to fight, which they both went to do together. He was glad just to be close to her, and she was on his wavelength, making even his own projects more fun to converse about.

After much pining and lollygagging and a few end-of-the-world adventures that turned out just fine, thank you very much...

He asked her to marry him. And oh, she did. She loved him back. There was no one in the universe she wanted more than her best friend.

They married and went on to create many implausible inventions together. Fusing inspiring biology and space age mechanics into strange and delightful machines.

They had no children, as he did not want to continue a cycle of pain. Could they have worked together and continued his mother's research? Sure. But his new younger siblings, who looked more human than his monstrous lizard-man form, were already as perfect as the science would allow. He had to help them recover from being raised by his mother, after all.

Natura and Lizo eventually made peace, as he finally understood where she came from. A similar harsh environment where she was a labrat herself. When she was found wanting, she had been ejected. She wanted to prove she could create better life than her parents. Her family, all five of her children, told her that grandma and gramps weren't here to be shocked or impressed. Their opinion didn't matter. What would it get her, if the children were to their standards? Nothing.

And Natura broke down. She loved her children. She wished she'd given them a better childhood, with more love and warmth instead of iron clad structure. What she never had. And technically speaking, they had more freedom than she had had. Better conditions, even if it wasn't anywhere near normal. But still she was found wanting and... owned up to it.

She changed. She loosened up. She organized outings and dinners and they spent their adult years at peace with one another, the tumultuous emotions of their childhood soothed and smoothed away.

Lizo and his mother still had legendary debates and arguments, but they didn't end in harsh feelings anymore. They bickered until the day she died, Lavie often playing referee.

Forty-odd years of marriage later, here he was. In a hospital bed, Lavie holding his hand, making him comfortable.

Dr. Lizard-Zero Blossana-Crane was never made to last. It was only sheer luck and grit that he did. His DNA was unraveling. His organs were failing. His body was breaking down.

He said goodbye to his love a dozen times, just in case. They called his family and they came, each to say goodbye. His mutant brothers and sister, each an artist in their own now. Street artist, musician, magician, and comedian. They’d never been happier, and he was happy for them.

They left to wait in the lobby, or until responsibilities drew them home, and it was soon only Lavie and Lizo.

Lavie gripped his hand as she watched his vitals start to decline.

"Not yet! Please! We have so much to do still!"

He chuckled, "You gave me forever within numbered days. And I'm grateful. You made me live my life, my love. I'll love you forever."

And he died. Softly.

The Grim Reaper took him by the hand, though she was rather baffled as to *where* to take him. Where does a worldless, unique being go?

Lavie sobbed at his side, but was soon interrupted by a 'pin-pon!' beep above her from the speakers.

NEMFA made note, for all to hear:

["Experiment Lizard-0 Complete."]

["Experiment Successful."]

Songbirds in Winter (Update: 8/14/2023)

Title: Songbirds in Winter. Fandom: D. Gray-Man. Pairings: Alma Karma/Tyki Mikk, Kanda Yuu & Alma Karma (One-Sided/Unrequited Yulma), Lavi Bookman/Allen Walker. Rated: Explicit. Words: 146.1K+. Tags: Romeo and Juliet AU, Omegaverse, Alpha/Omega, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Royalty/Nobility, Renaissance/Renaissance Era, Medieval, Slowburn, Romance, Drama, Angst, Forbidden Romance, Secret Relationship, Eventual Romance, Pregnancy, Hints of Incestuous Feelings/Incest, Family Drama, NSFW, Lemon/Eventual Lemons (Please see AO3 for full list of tags and warnings). Chapters: 18/?. Summary: They had always known that their lives would be planned out for them. For Tyki, it is to eventually become the head of his family as the next alpha in line, despite his wishes for otherwise. For Alma, it is to be married off for the benefit of his kin — to be bred for political gain, regardless of his own feelings on the matter. The stage is set, and they have their parts to play. But being in the crossfire of a dangerous rivalry among noble families is never easy — not when the person you love is the very one you’re forbidden from being with. Chapter 18 Excerpt — What Passions Consume:

Alma looked around, bewilderment and curiosity evident. Although the square had been bustling with life during the Saints’ Festival, it was now dark and quiet, with hardly a soul in sight; the cold didn’t make for a pleasant time out and most people were likely keeping inside, tucked away into the warmth of their homes as the night drew on. “Is this it?” Alma asked, turning back to Tyki. “The square?” Tyki hummed. “Not quite.” He nodded for Alma to follow. “This way.” Alma complied, keeping up with Tyki as the alpha led him along to the north end of the square — right where the clock tower was. It stretched up several stories, the face of the clock high as the dark iron hands moved slowly, golden glass making up the background of the face. The two of them stopped in front of it, Alma’s focus naturally gravitating upward. His expression turned into one of awe, the omega struggling not to look away. Tyki noticed. He smirked as soon as he saw Alma’s amazement, the corners of his mouth quirking upward. “Tall, isn’t it?” Alma nodded his head. “Yeah…” He continued to gaze upward, craning his neck. “I can’t imagine what it must be like up there.” “Well, you’re about to find out.” Tyki grinned. “We’re going up.” Alma blinked, turning to Tyki suddenly. “What?” Flummoxed, Alma looked back to the clock tower. There was a pair of double doors with several steps leading up, but were they allowed inside? “Can people just go in?” “Not exactly,” Tyki said, walking over to the door. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out something. Turning to Alma, the alpha’s grin broadened. “But, you can if you have a key.”

Fluffy: * gives Jervis a friend* Here! My sister! I bet you two would get along great 💜

Her name is Lavy! ( Mouse )

I'll have to answer as Jervis is too busy bouncing around.

He is very excited over the possibility of a new friend. He has declared that he must host a tea party soon so that he can meet Lavy. And so that Lavy can meet March Hare (Jonathan), Dormouse (Edward) and Harvest (Mystery).

Jervis does have one question though. Does she like tea?

I Can Feel Your Eyes Going Through Me

Author's Notes: A bit different from my first fic of them, these two are bestie, they just act they hate each other

Word Count: 5.2K

Pairing: Lavinho x Noel Noa

Content Warnings: Hurt & comfort, major character injury, and there was only one small bed, this is what I mean when I say I can't write angst

On AO3

Isagi always thinks it's weird that Noa only stays on the side lines or the monitoring room when they practice or exercise, he noticed that Noa is always the last one to leave after a game. Isagi thinks that behavior is weird but maybe that's the usual thing between captains, he could try ask his friends about the others, but something doesn't feel right, an top athlete definitely needs regular exercise to maintain their power and Noa is the best of the best, there's no way he reached that place by just standing in the sidelines.

This is bugging him quite a lot, so Isagi decides to share his concerns with Hiori, Kenyu and the others and they all seem to agree that something isn't right with Noa. Of course they still don't have the intel about all captains because to reach Bachira or Chigiri they would have to leave their block, leaving had the possibility of being expelled and it's better not to risk it. But regardless of the lack of some captains, the information that Isagi gathered was enough to reach the conclusion.

"Why doesn't Noa practice alongside us?" Hiori finally speaks up, breaking the silence of the cafeteria in which the Bastard Munchen were eating. Ness, Kaiser, Gesner and Grim all seem to exchange a look but Ness calmly explains.

"Master seems to prefer to practice alone, he was like this back in Germany too" he gives a nervous chuckle.

"Besides, he wouldn't like to practice with half baked idiots like you lot" Kaiser gives a shit eating grin as he points his fork to the Japanese boys who only cock their heads to the left.

"Don't you think... something feels weird about that?" Isagi asks, wanting to get to the bottom of the question.

"The only thing weird is you smegma!" Gesner replies as he slams his hands on the table and walks off with his tray of food.

"We don't know why he does it, but we don't have a good feeling either" Ness finishes as he gets up along with his teammates and goes away.

"Well that's that" Hiori chuckles to Isagi who only bites at the inside of his cheek. Isagi sighs but the rest of the group goes away defeated anyways.

Noel looks at the never ending numbers, charts and videos he has to look through until the end of the day. He clenches his jaw as he holds a small bottle in his hand. He should take three pills a day but he has been stubborn in not taking them ever since coming to Japan. He can feel the sting in his calf, just by sitting. Noel just wants to go back to his room and take a nap, he needs a break from all the homework he thought he wouldn't have to deal with. If only he had an extra pair of eyes to give him a hand.

He hears the door behind him open and he immediately hides the bottle in his pants, not wanting the word to spread out. He waits for one of the Japanese boys to start asking him questions but he doesn't hear any voice, only footsteps. He's about to turn around to question the intruder when suddenly two hands cover his eyes and he is extremely surprised.

"What are you doing here?" Noel asks the owner of those warm hands, the only one who would dare to play something like this on himself, sliding the hands off of his eyes and craning his neck upwards to look at the ceiling.

"Your team asked me to come speak with you" Lavinho looks down at Noel as he smiles. Noel only looks at him with bored eyes.

"Okay fine, I wanted to get out of this cubicle" Noel lets go of the warm, dark skinned hands and turns his chair to look at Lavi directly.

"Can we do that?" He asks half concern for Lavi, wondering if he will be kicked out even if he is an adult and not the target audience for this training camp.

"I don't know, but I'm not going to stop and ask" Lavi laughs as he leans on the table with all of the buttons and switches that he himself is still wondering how they work.

"Is everything okay?" Lavinho asks as he crosses his arms and looks at Noel.

"Go back to your team" Noel looks at him but quickly focuses on the videos again.

"They can handle themselves, don't worry about them" Lavi sighs "I'm more worried about you". Noel immediately loses concentration when he hears those strings of words, not knowing how to react; he just looks dead ahead as the words scramble to his mouth.

"Why would you be worried?" Is the only thing he manages to ask, to not make things weird.

"Something is bothering me" Lavi moves away from the table and goes behind Noel as he leans his arms on the chair "there's something you're not telling us, not telling me."

"Lavi-"

"Don't Lavi me, I can tell" Lavi shakes the chair gently as Noel grunts.

"Everything is fine! Stop bothering me!" Lavi perks up, it's the first time Noel has raised his voice against him, against anyone. He gives Noel some time to cool off.

"Stand up" Lavi takes a step back as he frowns.

"You're so annoying..." Noel sighs as he stands up from the chair and faces him. Lavi raises an eyebrow. He noticed in their first game at blue lock and since the champions league, there is something on Noel's leg, he can tell by the way he stood up and has been walking. He even went and revised the video from their game and noticed how Noel was slightly slower.

"Now, what do you want-" Noel wants to know what Lavi wants for him to stand up but his speech is interrupted by Lavi running towards him, he is caught by surprise but he doesn't know what the Brazilian wants to do with him so he just stands there, with his feet firmly planted on the floor. Lavi puts his hands on his shoulders and uses his body to push his own body off the ground. Noel frowns at this but before anything, he sees Lavi looking down at him, with his radiant smile shining like always and his breath is suddenly gone, it's like he's seeing this scene in slow motion. Everything is stopping, the only thing that is not, is his heart that quickly speeds up as his eyes look upwards. He is about to use his hands to grab Lavi's hips before the weight of the Brazilian makes his pain act up again.

"Ah-!" He takes a step back and leans on the table, squeezing it with his hand so hard his knuckles turn white.

"I knew it" Lavi sighs with a pout "where did you injure yourself?" He questions as he gets on his knees to inspect Noel's legs, touching the other man's knees and shin bone trying to see where the pain is coming from.

"My calf muscle…" Noel sighs and Lavi looks up as he is trying to hold back laughter.

"You really are an old man" he snickers as he gets up. Noel only tsk's at him as he rubs the place where it hurts him to try and ease the pain. Right behind his right knee is where most of the pain comes from.

"I tore it a few months back, right after the world cup" Noel sighs as he tells a very abridged version of it, he whispers it as well, not wanting the cameras that are most likely in the room to pick it up.

"C'mon, sit down" Lavi takes his arm and leads him into the chair.

"Hey, what are you-" Noel becomes visibly confused when he feels Lavi's hands roam around his body until he hears the bottle of pills rattle.

"Katching" Lavi laughs as he reads the instructions "here, it's time to take another pill grandpa" he hands him the bottle and leans back on the table.

"You're so immature" Noel rolls his eyes as he indeed takes the pill and then drinks from his water bottle.

"Now, let's go analyze these kids'' Lavi claps his hands, Noel is about to ask for help but Lavi knows, he can see it in Noel’s tired eyes he could use the extra help, he just knows, it's kind of like a gut feeling he has "I thought you needed it." They actually work on relatively good terms for almost an hour with Lavi offering his own cents and opinions on what he thinks of the kids but before long their peace is interrupted.

"Lavinho '' Ego's voice echoes through the room and Lavi freezes "go back to your cubicle" he says calmly with his arms crossed and a calm look across his face but the captains are not fooled by his calm outside appearance. Lavi shoves his hands in his pockets and fishes for his headphones as Noa reaches for his pair that has been forgotten on the table.

"Just try me! You can't ever take away my freedom!" Lavi turns around as he points to Ego who only looks down at him.

"Oh? Want me to call the guards?" Lavi pouts, he knows there are no guards, Ego could use the Noa card but perhaps seeing how well they are getting along for now won't tell Noa to kick him out. The guards Ego could be referencing is Marc, so the fiery Lavinho begrudgingly goes away.

"Rest up" he smiles at Noel as he pats his shoulders and goes away grumbling as he rolls his eyes at Ego.

"How did he get here?" Ego asks towards Noel who only turns to the lanky man.

"How should I know?" Noel answers when Ego repeats the question as he rotates his chair, thus facing Ego with his back.

"I need to know so I prevent future break-ins to maintain the peace" Ego tells him with a calm tone but Noel knows that's complete lies, he wants everyone completely separate so they can all go slightly insane and more hungry to win. It makes him admire Lavi just a small bit, of course he would never admit that, as a small smile comes across his features.

"Is everything okay?" Ego asks before going away, Noel wants to turn around to examine the japanese's features and know just how much Ego heard from his and Lavi's chat.

"Of course" he doesn't even bother to ask what makes Ego suspect that, the sooner he's gone the better.

"It would be a shame if our master striker wasn't completely healthy" Noel's eyes grow slightly before resuming their calm and relaxed state. Getting up and putting his hands on the pockets of his coat he makes his way out of the room.

"It would indeed" Noel replies before walking out to his personal room. Despite him trying to maintain his steady mindset his heart starts beating faster with only one thing projecting in his mind. Ego knows.

He doesn't trust that man, there's something about him that makes every instinct on his body stand up and get ready to fight. The way he talks, explains things, it's just...gives him the creeps even if he agrees with most things Ego says. Now, more than anything he starts to regret what the owner of the club proposed and said to him, he thought this would be a good break for his muscle to recuperate but now that he is stuck here with no way to communicate with the outside world in a completely foreign country, does he start to worry. If only he could talk to the other captains it would ease him slightly.

"With that scowl on your face you must be worried about something" Lavi giggles as he shows up from nowhere and goes to his side, if Noel wasn't used to him he would probably scream.

"You're still here?" Noel asks but Lavi shushes him to quiet down as he only raises an eyebrow down at him with a small smile as if to tease him to which Lavi picks up and pouts.

"That guy knows" Noel whispers to Lavi, if he shares this concern there might be some peace of mind that comes to him.

"I know, I heard" Lavi looks behind him as he frowns "don't worry I'll handle it."

"What are you going to do?" Noel asks, obviously curious as to what Lavi has cooked up to solve this huge problem on their hands.

"Don't worry about it" Lavi slaps his back before going back to where he came from, wherever the hell he did come from initially as Noel looks back at where he went to.

"Truly, such an idiot" Noel shakes his head as he finally arrives at his room. Gray walls that look like they came from a sci-fi movie set, one closet for his belongings and one desk with a chair if he chooses to read or write something, he doesn't really mind his room to be like this. Even if it was his home he would have probably kept it like this. Laying down on his single, cheaply manufactured bed he closes his eyes, getting the pain washed away and his tiredness take over his body as he falls asleep for a much needed nap.

A week goes by and the Bastard Munchen are facing F.C. Barcha again. As he walks into the field he sees Lavi perk up and look around his team until finally setting his fiery eyes on his own figure. He can see Lavi steal looks from him every few seconds, perhaps dying to come to his side and ask him how he's doing. He also wants to ask him how he managed to talk Ego out of any possible injury that the world's best might have. But most importantly, he can also see Lavi's legs nervously jump up and down as he looks to the field and sees all of the teenagers run around and play the best game they can. He can practically hear the whine on Lavi's throat, he knows he wants to play, but Lavi also knows that if he goes out to play he will have to drag Noel down with him. In a way, it does soften him how Lavi can actually be considerate. So he decides to gamble, it's down to the final point so he gets up as he takes off his gym coat and pants and enters the field to use the star change system. Lavi immediately perks up in delight and quickly takes off his coat as well. He goes to talk to Noel and only as he walks does he remember that he is injured, but he cannot back down now. His only option is to talk in code with Noel.

"Oh, so you've finally come to ask for a rematch?" Is what he says but what he truly means is 'are you sure you can handle it?'

"Only fools think of the past, you know that already" Noel rolls his eyes down at him but what he replies is 'I can handle three minutes'.

"Don't get left behind" Noel warns him as he enters the field but Lavi pouts at what Noel truly means 'go easy on me and follow my lead'. Noel is always saying he's an idiot, but now he starts to wonder who the real idiot is.

As the game starts again he can tell that Noel is definitely slower today and something feels off, like everyone has been saying, it's like a clog is out of its place. Lavi follows up on Noel and does his extravagant theatrics like never before. Before, you could clearly tell that they would fight like gods for their rightful place at the pantheon. But as Lavi manages to steal the ball from Noel, he forces him to his own pace and now, now, it just looks like a dance between two partners. Lavi laughs as he moves around less unpredictable and more calmly, as if waiting for Noel to catch up to him, who despite taking a second longer to do so, never fails to keep up. It is like there is no one else in the whole world except them, no one dares to break in their space and interrupt them, not even Isagi who is only confused by the soft smiles that Lavi throws in Noel's way and whom he seems to reply with a much smaller smile, but a smile just the same. He feels his right leg starting to burn, he wouldn't call it pain so to say but his doctor would, something is starting to creep up and down his leg as it shakes slightly, making him feel uncomfortable but he can handle it for three minutes, last time he did and this time it's no different.

Lavinho just seems to be provoking the French by the way he keeps dribbling the ball around Noel who only stays in his place waiting for a chance to steal the ball. Noel doesn't even focus on the ball at this point, only at Lavi’s face who also should be focused on the ground and his surroundings but they seem to not care for any of that. One trick Lavi did made Noel have to take a step back as he landed his right foot in a bad position. He feels electricity run through his leg upwards and arrive at his muscle that nearly makes him buckle to the ground, but he stands firm. Lavi notices it and quickly loses his focus on Noel to drive attention away from him, luckily, as soon as he does Kaiser makes his move to steal the ball from him. He feints to be caught off guard and lets both their teams chase away the ball as he goes to Noel’s side.

“Shit…” he hears Noel curse and gives a small chuckle towards him. He goes to Noel’s right side and lets the french man lean his body weight on his own. In the meantime Kaiser tries to score a goal but someone blocks him, he can't exactly be bothered at this point. The boys all notice that Noel is not well and almost stop but Lavi calls out to them.

“Don’t stop! It only ends when you reach three points! Lara take over me” Lavi screams back at them as he grabs Noel by his waist and readjusts his right arm over his shoulder. Noel doesn't say anything but remains focused and with good posture, as if Lavi is the one insisting he is injured even though there is nothing wrong with him. Lavi has to admit Noel is a good actor. The Brazilian prima-donna takes them both out of the arena to take Noel to his room but as soon as the door closes behind them Noel collapses his entire weight on him.

“Ayo! Up! Up!” Lavi nearly falls to the ground as well with Noel being quite heavy and nearly dragging them both to fall down.

“Fuck, shit” Noel whines, having to keep up with Lavi’s stunts really made it worse, he can now barely put his leg on the floor. He grabs Lavi’s shoulder hard as his breath starts increasing, he tries to calm down the pain by breathing but at this point he’s too far gone.

“Breath” Lavinho reminds him as he tries to go down the hall with Noel nearly on the ground and pulling him too, he pulls him by the waist to try and get him to stand and walk “here, don’t use your right leg.”

“It seems to hurt even more,” Noel says through clenched teeth. Raising his foot up seems to make his leg throb in pain. His entire leg is screaming and cramming up and he is having a hard time focusing on breathing. Suddenly he feels Lavi’s hands slamming against his back.

“What the fuck?” Noel curses against caughting Lavinho by surprise.

“You weren't breathing!” Lavinho explains himself.

“So you thought putting me in more pain would help?!”

“I just needed you to snap out of it! You weren't listening to me!” Noel acknowledges that at some point he started focusing on the pain so much Lavi’s voice became background noise. Noel shuts up and lets Lavi help him to his room. After a lot of grumbling from Noel who keeps almost falling to the ground they finally arrived at his personal room. Lavi lays down Noel on the bed as he looks around the room searching for the bottle of pills as he takes off his gloves. Lavi looks at Noel laying down on the bed with his hand on his face and his breathing not having calmed down a bit, he looks at his legs that are planted on the floor and he goes to undo his shoes. He gets on his knees and tries his best to take it off as gently as possible on the right foot and puts his feet on top of the bed.

“Just stay there, I’ll be back in a few minutes” Lavi tells him as he goes out of the room and Noel rolls his eyes, as if he can go anywhere with the way he is in pain. He hears Lavi run off to the distant as he is left with his thoughts and crippling pain. He clenches his jaw as he thinks about the world, his team, his family knowing about what has happened to him. He cannot afford to stop playing, his family depends on him financially, even if he knows he has received enough to support them through the rest of his life, there is still something inside him saying it will never be good enough.

The Bastard Munchen and France’s National Team rely on him to win the champions league, the world and euro cups, without him there to orient all of those players, guide and teach them the teams are as good as gone. Loki will be there to pick up his slack in the French National Team and drive them towards victory, but he’s just a kid, he won’t even have the chance to play with him and teach him what he should know as the future captain of the team. He could still teach them by the sidelines but there are certain things one can only learn by seeing and practicing.

But besides the other reasons, not being able to keep playing the sport that got him through so many tough times and let him crawl from the rotten streets of France makes him nearly scream. He is not emotional by any means, always trying to think of things rationally, but just thinking of not being able to play anymore puts him through an unimaginable pain he never thought he could even go through at this age. He always had a perception that he had more time to enjoy himself on the field, if he took care of himself he could even push well into his late thirties perhaps forty. Realization is sinking as everyone noticed today, his time as the world's best is shrinking and he just does not know how he will be able to live with himself if he can't play again. He covers his eyes with his hands and bites on his lip hard so no sound comes out of his mouth, his mind is starting to spiral but he doesn't know how to reel it back in.

Out in the distance, he hears Lavi's light steps as he flies through the empty and cold corridors, nearly falling down. His tears immediately dry up as he releases a small smile. That idiot really is something else.

“I’m back, don’t die on me!” Lavi bursts through the door as he wheezes. Noel finally takes his hands off of his eyes and looks at the brazilian that has lost his cleats along the way and his hair is all disheveled. He seems to have something on his hand.

“Up” Lavi goes to him and grabs his hands, not bothering for an answer as he pulls him up. Noel realizes its ice by the way it’s cold on his hand and he shivers slightly.

“Show me where it is” Lavi says as he also sits down on the bed, Noel rolls his eyes as he lays down once again, he figures it will be easier this way for him. He pulls his sock gently down and then proceeds to raise his foot to meet Lavi’s shoulder who glares knifes at him but does not move away the foot. Lavi grabs his ankle and slowly rotates the leg to peek and his eyes grow big.

“Do you see this? It’s completely bruised” Lavi shoots a concerned look at Noel who only seems to ignore him.

“What did your doctor say?” He asks as he sees Noel refuse to further explain.

“To rest for a few months and then see how it heals up, I do check ups once every two weeks” he grumbles under his breath.

“Ai Noel! Have you seen the condition your leg is in! I can barely imagine the pain!” Lavi’s expression switches between worry and anger a few times before settling in on worriness. He looks for something around the room he can tie the ice to the leg with before settling it down on the bed as slowly as possible. Noel keeps on not answering him and he sinks into the bed. He stretches his legs on the bed and they touch the French man's arms. Noel looks at him but follows his lead and stretches his own legs and places them on top of Lavi's thighs.

"So does this mean we won't play again?" Lavinho asks, maybe this way Noel will crack over how bad the injury truly is.

"Lavi…" Noel sighs but when he sees the Brazilian's worried expression he reconsiders his scolding "nothing is set in stone yet, I just need to rest-"

"Which you haven't been doing."

"And take my meds-"

"That you haven't been taking."

"You are cruel" Noel releases a dry chuckle.

"I just think about it happening to me" Lavinho offers that as an explanation but with it only being half true, the other half is him actually worrying for the well being of his long time friend and rival.

"It will be fine, with the world knowing now, I will only have the one chance to rest and perhaps do surgery" Noel sighs as he supports his head with his left hand.

"What if you are forced to retire?" Lavi asks as he starts to gently scratch Noel's right leg in a soothing manner that kind of feels good to him.

"Then the title of the world's best goes to you" he offers no resistance as he releases another dry laugh.

"I'm saying like" Lavi suddenly shouts as he gestures vaguely with his hand, Noel's eyes shoot up at him asking him to continue what he was doing earlier to which he complies.

"We will see, '' Noel sighs as he closes his eyes. Feeling Lavi's trimmed nails softly touching his calf does something to him that he can't quite understand. Feeling Lavi's quiet presence right now makes him so much more calm, even if he is injured and the entire weight of the world is placed on his shoulders. With Lavi, he can take a step back and breathe. He looks at the man opposite him and every bone and muscle on his body is telling him to pull the easy going Lavi close to him and run his hand through his long hair. He knows Lavi’s hair is completely gelled up but he nearly opens his mouth to tell him to wash it off, however, his self control is extremely well trained and he holds back. He feels his eyes getting heavy as he nearly falls asleep but Lavi's weight moving around the bed wakes him up as he examines the Brazilian's moves.

"Scoot over, I also want a nap" Lavi laughs as he goes to the head of the bed and tries to get under the covers.

"This bed isn't big enough for us" Noel sighs but gets up just enough for Lavi to take the covers and get under them, letting Noel go along with him.

"If you didn't have those wide ass shoulders it wouldn't be a problem" Lavi grumbles under his breath.

"What was that?" Noel reminds him of who's room he's in.

“Nothing” Lavi whistles as he lays down on his side in between Noel and the wall, feeling extremely cramped up. But honestly, it’s better than being alone all those weeks. He can’t handle being alone and even if it is Noel’s reserved personality, it’s still someone and he will take that over complete emptiness.

Noel lays on his back as he stares ahead at the ceiling, Lavi’s warm body is right next to him but it is starting to bother him and he knows Lavi is uncomfortable too so he decides to make an effort since Lavi has been helping him out quite a bit lately. Lavi might be a lot of things but he is loyal and trustworthy to the end.

“Lay on top of me…”Noel rolls his eyes, it physically hurts him to say this, physical contact makes him feel a little itchy but he has steeled his mind. Lavi doesn't say anything as he snuggles close to him and lays his head on top of Noel’s chest. The hair that he has been dying to touch is finally near him, it’s close enough that it tickles his nose and he can easily scratch Lavi’s scalp and run his fingers on the latter’s hair. But he hates feeling the gel sticking on his fingers so he holds back with much effort.

"Say…" Lavi quirps as he puts his chin on Noel's chest as he makes a small acknowledgement noise "if you need me to support you financially just say the word."

"I swear to god I will kick you down from the bed."

"I'm serious! You just need to cook me meals and I will help you out!" Lavi laughs but he is completely serious.

“Just for that I will never retire” Noel scoffs as he closes his eyes.

“I know better than anyone how old you truly are, you should be retired already” Lavi sticks out his tongue.

“Sure sure.”

“If you move I can hear your joints cracking.”

“Lavi” the brazilian quiets down after hearing Noel’s tone as he frowns. He listens intently to the French’s heart beats and can tell that it is faintly racing, he laughs thinking of the possibilities of what is making Noel nervous.

“Thanks,” he whispers.

“For what?”

“I hate being alone” Noel opens his eyes and looks down at Lavi but he can only see bleached hair, he doesn't reply but he does bring out his hand to pat the back of the man who has his head on top of his chest.

Lavard 35

"Running out in the middle of the night to get a food item they're craving"

"Babe." Came Lavie's voice. Ardou had just laid his head down after finishing up some notes on a project. She had that tone. That tone that rang with the promise of frustration and adventure all in one.

He gulped before answering. "...yes?"

She got up and leaned over his shoulder. "I need cherry pie."

He cracks a grin, "Is that a euphemism?"

"Usually, but not tonight. I need Cherry pie. Right now." She was quite serious.

"So I assume you want me to go down to food-replocopier and make some." He grumbled, getting snuggly.

Then she said it and he knew he would not know sleep this night.

"No, I need a specific pie."

"What pie?" He sat up, rubbing his face.

"The Cherry Pie from Ruby's Diner on Route 412 outside of Helena, Montana, America, Earth, Delta Dimension."

He looked down at her broken leg. She looked up at him with her big kitten eyes. Obviously SHE wasn't going to go get it.

<>

The door to Ruby's Diner swung open at 2:34 AM. An 8 foot tall Lizardman in a winter coat, purple scarf and boots stomped up to the counter. The few truckers that were in there ran for the other entrance, screaming their heads off. Ruby herself was shaking in her pumps as he walked up to the counter and slapped 30 american dollars, newly replicated, onto the counter. "Two Cherry pies please." He grumbled.

She just gaped up at him, mouth open.

"Oh, Lavie sent me." He remembered to say.

That seemed to snap her out of her state of shock. "L-Lavie? The little manic mechanic?"

"Yeah, that's her. She's my girlfriend and we broke her leg doing- erm! -That's not important. -POINT IS she's not feeling well and assures me that your pie is some sort of 'magic' that'll help her." He manages to stutter out.

Ruby understands and smiles warmly. "Oooh. I see. Here." She boxes up the pies from under the display and slides them over. "So, you two are dating?"

Ardou smiles, a terrifying thing for the unfamiliar to him. "Yeah, hopefully more soon." He looks over his shoulder and fishes out a purple ringbox, opening it to show it off. "Do you think she'll like it?"

"I've known that girl her whole life. And my advice? Get a recessed gem. Girl like that runs around a mile a minute and its gonna snag and take her whole finger off."

He looks at the cut amethyst sticking up in the traditional way. "You're so right! Thank you! I can't believe I didn't think of that!" He sticks it back in his pocket. "I'll get it fixed, thanks so much!" He was about to leave, going for the door.

"Uh, hon? Your pie?"

"RIGHT!" He grabbed the boxes awkwardly.

"And whatever you do, don't stick it in food! You KNOW that girl will swallow it whole!"

"Drat, I'll have to think of something else!" He snapped his fingers and laughed.

He left and the doors chimed as he let them close behind him. He summoned a glowing green portal and disappeared off the face of the planet.

"Poor guy. Gonna get eaten alive by that gal." Ruby chuckled.

<>

Soon they were back comfortably in bed, snuggled up with pie and a musical.

Lavie leaned on his chest, craving satisfied. "Thank you. I love you babe." She sighed, content.

"I love you too. To the moon and back." He kissed her head. The ring was safely put away in a drawer. Someday soon. Maybe they'd have pie at their wedding.

Galerie de portraits pour Legend ! en prévision du Inktober 2017.

Portraits gallery for Legend ! in anticipation of the Inktober 2017.

[thefogoflife]

My favorite shows: Canceled too soon and summarized badly edition

Surviving Jack: A sitcom (minus a laugh track, thank christ) about a retired soldier that becomes a full time dad and SUCKS at it, starring Christopher Meloni. 1 season.

The Middleman: A super weird, pulpy, freak of the week/twilight zone deadpan comedy about the people that save the world from extra dimensional stuff...pretty sure the girl that plays Penny Peabody in Riverdale is in this. 1 season? Idk it was on like 12 years ago.

Sleepy Hollow: This is Lucifer before Lucifer got big, with an American history/illuminati twist. Freak of the week/buddy cop format with a time displaced Ichabod Crane and a police officer who have to delve into revolutionary history and conspiracy in order to prevent armageddon/the arrival of the four horsemen (Tom Mison plays an excellent Ichabod...like a pretentious and technologically clueless Lucifer. I would die if the two characters ever met). 4 seasons.

Imposters: Ezra Bloom gets robbed/abandoned by his whirlwind romance wife, who turns out to be a con artist. He tried to track her down and finds a couple of her other victims, and they learn to con, and con their way across the country to track her down, and it's equally hilarious and intense. Uma Thurman has a recurring role, and the lead is played by Inbar Lavi (Eve in Lucifer, Winsome in SOA), who is one of my favorite actresses. Parker Young also plays the big hearted idiot hilariously. It is FELONIOUS that this show isn't more popular. It's on par with Lucifer, Hannibal, etc. 2 seasons.

Hannibal: Fuck you. If you're on this website, you know what this is. 3 seasons.

Dominion: God disappears from heaven, and the angels blame it on humanity's depravity. Archangels Gabriel and Uriel lead an army from heaven down to yeet the humans, and Michael raises an army to protect them. Post apocalyptic fallout/mad max vibes. 2 seasons.

Revolution: Scientists create nanobots that will occupy the atmosphere and conduct electricity, thereby creating unlimited free energy all over the world. They turn it on and instead it creates a massive explosion that ends the world, and absorbs all electricity permanently. The world breaks down into factions and warlords and begin fighting for control. Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring from breaking bad, or Moff Gideon from The Mandalorian) is his typical bastard self, but as usual, is amazing. This show starts off super cheesy with the acting and then becomes legitimately great. 3 seasons.

Almost Human: Buddy cop formula with a human and an android that fight crime in a dystopian future. Ahead of it's time, it tackles issues like in Detroit: Become Human, but people weren't ready for that. Karl Urban (of the infamous "The Boys" ad) stars. 1 season.

Stan Against Evil: Indie freak of the week parody horror show, and it's basically Buffy. This town has a curse that all sheriffs will die in office, but this one guy, Stan, doesn't (played by the lovably sarcastic douche Dr. Cox from Scrubs), and learns it was because his wife was protecting him from the demons that inhabit the town. Wife get yeeted, and it's up to alcoholic and apathetic Stan, the new sheriff, Evie, and Stan's nerd daughter to fight off demons. This show is fucking hilarious, and has a lot of cameos (for example, Mike Ogg, the voice of Trevor in GTA V, cameos as a murderous horse demon). 3 seasons.

Enlisted: War hero comes home after punching a superior and ends up on Rear D (the guys that get left behind to mow the lawns and shit when soldiers are deployed) with his idiot brothers. Deals with PTSD, but is also pretty funny. Sitcom without a laugh track. Keith David has a recurring role, and Parker Young is once again the lovable idiot. 1 season.
