"you know, after i watched paddington, i'm fully convinced animals can talk. you know⎯like in toy story. but they're hiding it from us," you rambled, tapping your finger on your chin like you were in deep thought.

alhaitham flipped over on his stomach, shoving his face into his pillow, "please, go to sleep." his voice is muffled as he pleads, which prompts you to go on.

"and another thing," you continue, "does a straw have two holes? or just one? but there has to be two, right? since there are two holes in a straw."

alhaitham turns around, laying on his side as he listens to you, "you do realize you just answered your own question, right?" he mocks you.

you roll your eyes in return, threading your hands through his hair and ruffling it as revenge. you pretend not to hear him sigh out of content, "yeah. but like⎯if it has two holes, why do we only drink out of one?"

this time, alhaitham does not sigh. he groans, "it's getting too late for these kinds of questions."

you raise your eyebrows, a grin slowly appearing on your face, "oh? so i've finally frustrated the curiosity out of you,'" your sentence turned into laughter at the end.

"you have not," alhaitham countered.

"i think i have," you brush your thumb over alhaitham's eyebrow. he held your hand over his eyebrow and rubbed his thumb over it. he takes your silence as a sign that you are succumbing to exhaustion and you are finally about to fall asleep. but he was wrong.

"i just have one more question," you blurted out.

"only one?" he looked up at you with sleepy eyes. the sight made you want to giggle. alhaitham looks vulnerable. he looks adorable, you think.

"only one," you reaffirm, and rub your thumb across his eyebrow once more, "do you think we're together in every universe?"

the question caught him off guard. you never asked questions like these. most of the time, your questions range from shower thoughts to absurdities. but something seemed more intimate about this one.

alhaitham does not know if you two would be together in every universe. the universe is vast and unpredictable. there are endless possibilities and endless outcomes. it would be impossible for you two to be together in every universe.

that being said, he hopes that you two are together in most of them. alhaitham⎯though he holds disdain at your questions⎯could not imagine a life without them. he simply could not think of a world where he doesn't listen to the sound of your voice every night. he could not visualize a world where he wouldn't be a recipient of your love and your warmth.

to envision a world without you in it is like envisioning a world without it's sun. the world would be shrouded in darkness, without a single bit of light. there would be no warmth, and everything would have froze to death and died.

he looks at you while he thinks about his answer. if he had to wake up every day, and your face wasn't the first thing he saw, alhaitham knew he'd be miserable. he spends at least ten minutes of his morning admiring you. without you, what would he do?

there would be no one to brush his teeth with. there would be no one to eat dinner with. there would be no one to talk to in the middle of the night. life truly seems empty there. he pities all the other alhaithams in the vast universe that have to live without you. it must be horrific, living like that.

so, he makes sure to make this universe count.

"c'mere," he pulls you down to lay with him. you're on your side now as alhaitham pulls you closer, "i'll tell you my answer."

your eyes perk up, having been anticipating his answer the past few minutes. would he disagree or agree? does he think you two would last over different dimensions?

"really? because i think that we'll⎯" alhaitham cuts you off by placing his hand on your jawline and pressing his lips onto yours. it's slow, soft, and quite sensual. his other hand travels down to your hip, slowly rubbing circles on the bone as he continues to kiss you. you don't seem to mind or pull away, as you wrap your arms around his neck and kiss him back.

your legs are intertwined with alhaitham's as you pull away. suddenly, you feel a lot tired than you did a few minutes ago. was this alhaitham's plan all along? did he just try to kiss you into exhaustion? whatever just happened, it would not work. you will get your answer.

you lean on his chest for one minute, and then you fall asleep.

alhaitham didn't intend for that to happen. it was just a small bonus. what he really wanted to do, was to appreciate what he had in front of him. to not take you for granted. he considers how lucky he is: he is here, in bed with you, and he gets to listen to you ramble. he is privileged enough to hear the sound of your voice, your laughter, your thoughts. he just wanted to show that off.

but now, you're entangled in his limbs, dozing off peacefully as you relax into his chest. you'll harass him more about his answer later, but for now, he only mumbles it to you.

"i hope we are together in every universe."

Ah Ms. Dunnstock, y'know I was wondering how you were doing. Or when the last time you talked to Veronica was

I am doing amazing.

au where orin gets tired of bhaal's shit, overthrows him, and takes his place and ascends to godhood somehow

[mercless]

🗡 what if i rb'd that anon kissing meme to talons dismay

[byanyan]

so i've put a little box with a soft towel inside it behind my tv for cookie since she had a good nap back there the other day, and oh boy has she made herself comfortable lmao

[accidentallyatekneecaps]

Tbh the way that kubosai is literally just 2 traumatized silly billys finding comfort and healing in each other is something I love so very very much

Like both of them may not realize it at first that they need the comfort or the lack of control but as time goes by they get more comfortable around each other and trust each other to be there for them so they can let themselves fall, let themselves give up on control and have emotions

Whether it's sadness, anger or just the genuine want of human touch and comfort

They both are so similar in a sense that they're relationship could blow up so quick if they don't learn to trust but they can do it since they both are stubborn and care way way to much about the people around them

Just woke up, got dressed, and climbed back in bed to begin my daily "hollis spends 20 minutes extra minutes in bed again before they leave for work" and it makes me wonder if any of my muses would do that.

Like i feel like out of all of them, the ones that are most likely to do that are.... probably Dakota? And Mikah ( though they probably do all their morning rituals first and then get back in bed ). Lawali is another one that strikes me as the "maybe 5 more minutes" type of person and cocoons himself in his blankets

would love to sleep if i wasn’t thinking so hard about ren experiencing doomed romance and the painfully slow realization that he is in love or falling in love after centuries of believing that love is not real and if it is real then it’s ugly, agonizing and painful—but most of all: bound to end.

not to mention what other things he would realize along the way. maybe, you know, he and df didn’t do what they did because of desperation or a moment of stupidity. maybe he shouldn’t feed into the narrative he’s been force-fed and shred every ounce of affection sent his way. maybe they did it out of love.

anyway. some quote from my favorite movie.

[autonomousxselves]

So which one of you is going to tie her ribbons now

[bravevolunteer]

dating michael is hilarious for many reasons but specifically because you have to be willing to put up with his fuckass night shift schedule. he’s getting home at like 6:30-7am and crawling into bed after another night of the horrors and if his partner tries to get up at a normal time like most people have to he looks at them like this

[gourdbiologist]

Lol. Lmao, even.

@wrathfulthrenody . L📖k whose pitch flirting now . huh.

[kingbcwser]

//Oh also! I played some M&L s.uperstar s.aga the moment I got the opportunity to play it and...

I didn't know I could get in BeanBean castle in less than 3 hours

[the-sky-llama]

Excuse me, you are this world's god, right?

(@yourturntofall)

Greetings, both of you! The multiverse is... strange, so I have found. It is entirely possible that you have ended up in the timeline I reside in. If that is the case, the answer truly would be yes. Regardless, I hope the two of you are doing well.

... is it ironic for the bird lady to like those little bell anklets when falconry jesses have bells on them

[mute-call]

it’s not even a joke anymore. g.genuine hc that steve learned about trans rights from the freddys characters
