#please adopt me random extrovert

Introvert being confronted with putting themselves out there as opposed to being dragged in by their extrovert friend

[blacknedsoul-blog]

Random Thought of the Day (VIII)

So, posh besties are finally canon, yay! Congratulations Annabel, you only had to die, get divorced, survive an assassination attempt and have about 4 or 5 mental breakdowns to make one (1) friend, that is progress! Hopefully the next one will take less effort.

That said, there are two things I want to dwell on here.

I should like to by your friend and Could we be friends?

This is not the first time we've seen Annabel ask or tell someone outright that she wants to be friends. It's the second.

Yes, Lenore is not only Annabel's wife, but -possibly- her first proper friend. And it's really interesting because these scenes show you two really different sides of her, even though it's a similar situation.

When she meets Lenore, Annabel comes across as a very confident person, full of confidence and absolutely charming. She is formal but approachable and straightforward about her intentions: "We can help each other".

On the other hand, at this point, Annabel is keeping the reasons she wants this friendship to herself, she seems nervous -even a little uncomfortable- and behaves much more awkwardly. She hesitates, chokes on words, doesn't quite know if what she's doing is appropriate.

If I had to think of reasons for this contrast, there are two.

First: Annabel when she has time to plan vs. when she has to improvise. She went looking for Lenore, probably had at least an entire night to think about what kind of person this mysterious woman locked in the attic might be and how to approach this conversation. On the other hand, this conversation with Prospero had to be pulled out of her sleeve after a lot of emotionally complicated moments, maybe it didn't occur to her that this conversation could actually happen, and she has no plan B if Prospero rejects the offer.

On top of that, Annabel knows better than anyone the risks of getting attached to someone in Nevermore.

Second, that the scene with Prospero functions in some way as a reflection of Annabel's feelings when she first meets Lenore: there's no reason to believe she was any better equipped to enter into a relationship with anyone at that point in her life than she is now. But in this scene, we -and Lenore- see what Annabel wants to show, the parts of herself that she may find most attractive or pleasing. Here, Prospero gets a glimpse of her awkward and uncomfortable side, and I'd bet that awkwardness was present in that first meeting with Lenore, it's just that she had a chance to think about it, rehearse it, and thus hide those sides of her character as well.

The thing that makes me think of it that way is this:

Annabel's first gesture to Lenore is to shake her hand, which she also mentions here:

She still doesn't remember doing it, but the idea behind it is more or less the same: Annabel associates this kind of formality with friendly or amicable gestures; a mixture of business dealings and affectionate promises.

Again, the same intention, but with a very different performance. One that makes me wonder what exactly her thoughs when she went to see Lenore.

The Introvert Who Adopts and the Extrovert Who Is Adopted

Another thing that got me thinking about this whole thing is that so far we've seen Annabel -a very introverted person- be the one to take the first step in getting into a relationship with someone: she's the one who asks the question.

The funny thing is that even though Lenore is an extrovert, it was the other way around, she never took the initiative to start a relationship with anyone: Annabel came to see her, Morella is her assigned roommate, Duke came to talk to her, Pluto was won in a Pokémon swap (and she didn't choose him, Ada threw him under the bus), and Eulalie and Bernice approached her first.

I can see why this would happen from Annabel's side; she's a person who moves in the shadows, someone who lives by appearances and isn't afraid to manipulate or deceive to get her way. Under this premise, explicitly telling the people she cares about that this is an honest relationship feels like something even necessary for the sake of the relationship and her own mental health.

But in thinking about why this is happening to Lenore, and going back and reading chapter 22 to do this little analysis, I remembered this scene:

And…I don't know about you, but I think I'm going to pin this one. For now.

Hi! This is my presentation post! I will update it from time to time! ^^

✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✴✳✴✳✴✳

— I am a teenager (between 15 and 19)!! Please don't ask me to send you money to help you with what you're going through, I will not be able to help you. It will only make me sad and uncomfortable, and make you lose time that you could use by asking the same thing to someone who can actually help you, and I will block you, I'm sorry.

And I've just been asked that so just to be clear: No, I am not interested in any kind of "sugar relationship", thank you very much. (*traumatized crying*)

— Please do not interact with me if you are racist, homophobic, transphobic or a terf, if you willingly body shame people, if you do not support and respect the disabled and LGBTQUIA+ communities, if you are sexist, if you promote any kind of non con/illegal-relationship (I'm talking about irl relationships. I don't really care if you're a proshipper, but I will probably block you if I get too weirded out by your ships.), if you are a nsfw-only account, if you are a Trump supporter, or if you don't like to see the most random post at any time of the day. Once again, I will block you.

— I am genderfluid! You can use any pronounces while referring to me, but I do have a preference for they/them most of the time. :)

— Also, I mostly go by Eleana online, but I like to be called Len too. Or by my url idc. (you can also invent a new nickname if you want!! I absolutely love those TuT) :3

— I do not have the energy to find the exact label for my sexuality, but I like to think of myself as queer and aroasepec! ^^

— I am mostly active in the following fandoms: stranger things (byler actually but shh), the goldfinch, one piece, and many others! Those are only the current mains. :)

— Most of my posts/reposts are absolutely random and probably a bit confusing lol

✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴

Here are some of the things I'll reblog/post that are related to...

... Stranger Things

— Lots of fanarts!

— Fic recommendations!

— Theories and gates

— Pretty much anything byler-related

— Sometimes actor related things. (Yes I do support Noah btw, don't come to me if you want to hate on him.)

— Memes!!

... The Goldfinch

— Anything Boreo related (fics, fanarts, headcanons, anything.)

— Character analysis and headcanons!

— Memes 👍

... One Piece

— Anything related to the ASL brothers (as long as it's not romantic. I do not ship them. They're brothers.)

— Anything related to the Whitebeard crew (as long as it's not a ship too. They're family.) (I'm only kinda okay with Marco/Ace because they can be a nice dynamic if well written and in an AU, but that's it.)

— Pretty much any ship related things that I find nice. I'm a multishipper in this fandom! (I'm chill with pretty much anything as long as it dosen't involve families!)

✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴

Some random things about me! :D

— I absolutely loooove music. It doesn't have to be any specific kind of music, I could listen to pretty much anything and I'd be happy, because it's music.

— I am a cat person, and I'd like to adopt one or two when I'll have my own place!

– Here are some of my favorite songs tho!

★ Ship in a bottle - fin

★ BLUE - Billy Eilish

★ The Red Means I Love You - Madds Buckley

★ Loved one - The Aubreys

★ I Hear a Symphony - Code Fry

— I am an extraverted introvert! (an introvert who has a group of extroverted friends and who was infected by them)(but still an introvert)(i dislike or am neutral about most people irl)

— Most people say I look antipathic or scary, but really I just have a "do-not-come-near-me-or-I'll-bite-your-head-off" resting face.

— My favorite love languages are physical touches and words of affirmation. :)

— I like to talk with people about their experiences and feelings, and I love to give advices when I can! :)

— My memory works in a really strange way: I can remember word by word some parts of books and their entire storyline when I've read them years ago, but it took me 7 years to know the birthdate of a friend of mine that I met when we where both three.

— I sometimes have an hyperfixation on a random thing for months and then suddenly loose any interest about it for literally no reason at all. I will might come back to it after years months and fall back into the rabbit hole lol

— And (you probably guessed that by now) I tend to overshare things about myself when people let me. (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

[hamliet]

Random ask, Hamliet. Can I ask how can your dog and cat not fighting each other? So I had a cat for 3 years, named Gojo (yes, I know it's cringe). And last month my sister who lived with me, got a puppy and want to keep him, she named him Sukuna just to spite me.... And they kept fighting each other. Do you mind if I ask for your advice, please?

HAHAHA I love their names! And it is not cringe! Well, aside from the fact that with their names you were kind of asking for it... (I'm kidding).

So. I think I lucked out to a degree? They have very similar extroverted personalities. That said, I do have some advice for you, so read on!

I've had Alyosha almost four years now, and he's a very friendly puppy who loves humans, dogs, and cats we see on the street. When we visit family who have cats (numerous cats) he would always want to snuggle with them, but only one allowed him. So I knew he liked them before I looked for a cat.

Smokey I got from a shelter, and he was actually being fostered at a home with dogs. He was noted to be good with dogs, but not with other cats, amusingly enough. So I thought it'd be a good fit, and I think it took them all of four days (two of which Smokey spent trying to die on me in the hospital, because he was a very sick kitty; like I got him and the next day had to bring him to the ER) for them to curl up next to each other.

Smokey, dying on me but still wanting to speak to the manager:

Smokey did hiss the first time he saw Yosh, but he kind of immediately took to me and so started taking to Alyosha soon after that. And Alyosha loves him; they frequently cuddle, and Alyosha refuses to eat his treaties unless Smokey is next to him and also receiving treaties.

Their first cuddle four days after I got him and 3 hours after I took Smokey home from the hospital; try to discern where one fluff ends and the other begins:

Awaiting treaties (and Smokey mimicking Yosh):

Also, Smokey is now larger than Alyosha by a fair amount. I accidentally adopted a panther I think -__- wish me luck, he's only eleven months and still growing...

(why is Smokey so large)

They do fight sometimes, though. It's kind of a sibling relationship. But it's never been like, a violent fight--more like annoying each other and then they slap each other a few times and storm off to me like MOM GUESS WHAT HE DID.

And then other times they team up on me. Like when I gave Alyosha a bath and Smokey sat on the counter watching and hissing... at ME. He then jumped onto the edge of the bathtub and touched noses with the dog like... I'm sorry Mom's such a bitch.

So, it depends on the size difference between Sukuna and Gojo. Is Sukuna a large dog? If that's the case, I would try to keep them from fighting. But if he is not, or even if he is a small puppy now, I would watch them when they fight. Are they actually trying to hurt each other? Or are they just being bratty? If the latter, let them fight; if the former, intervene.

I would also try to use their love for you. Namely, with the dog, since he's young. If the dog sees his beloved human loving the cat, then since he's so young he might not be jealous and might transfer that love to the cat. I think that's partially what happened with Smokey when he was a (younger) kitten--oh, she loves dog, she loves me, dog must also love me. I also think it might make sense when giving treats or something to have your sister start with Sukuna and you start with Gojo, just so that they both know that you prioritize them (to prevent jealousy, I always start with Alyosha since he was here first; I call it birth order rights, jk).

Good luck! And if anyone else has advice, please share!

Leaving you with a photo of the two of them from yesterday evening:

[novi-val]

random stuff i wrote down from luke's discord server q&a call (jun. 4, 2023):

"this is my therapy, sorry you all have to hear me"

he was drinking rosé throughout all of this

he likes roses but likes the stems + thorns more than the flowers, so his friends used to buy him bouquets of just rose stems and he thought it was great

one of his favourite books is the picture of dorian gray (this explains everything. why does this explain everything)

favourite eurovision acts were brunette and blanca paloma ("you thought i was gonna say blanka huh :///")

mimicat and teya were the friends who helped him out with stuff when he needed it, teya was the extrovert friend who adopted him at the preparties ("didn't talk to anyone, i was just drinking and doing duolingo")

"i learned english ostensibly through playing lara croft" + talking to online friends on video game forums

"i'm butchering french all the time. i was talking to la zarra a lot and she was just side-eyeing me"

TEYA AND LUKE COLLAB IN THE WORKS

favourite album is american life by madonna (first album he bought for himself(?))

had to google what a ttrpg is, bless

he's very, very happy that the server has brought joy and support for so many people, because when he was 15-16 he wanted to use his music to create a safe space so people wouldn't have to be so lonely and go through some of the same things he went through

question: if you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be? "i would've liked to not have my bitch era"

he only applied for the esc national final because he was planning on releasing samo mi se spava around that time and figured he'd go to promote it. he was not planning/expecting to win and go to eurovision. "i didn't even quit my job or anything"

if you see house on the hill live at a show, it'll be a longer version (the studio version is as short as it is because it was out of spite for universal music when they used to tell him all his songs were too long)

favourite game right now is solitaire

past fall out boy enjoyer, current panic! at the disco enjoyer (😭😭) also sir i need to know did you listen to my chemical romance. please. please this is very important

other artists he likes (incomplete): the killers, the cure, the white stripes, lana del rey, lady gaga, madonna, tamino, mika

"well after eurovision i'm bankrupt"

people were ordering merch from him during the call after he mentioned his merch site and the email notification sounds were going off in the background as he talked every few seconds (as of the end of him answering questions from the q&a channel the cds got sold out!)

aaand that's all i got before leaving the call because i needed to sleep

[ina11rarepair]

Fuyuka X fubuki headcannons, please.

TODAY'S GUEST IS (ANON) !!! ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

Fuyuka originally lived in Hokkaido as well (not in the same area as Fubuki tho), and one day during training, they had a little talk. Fubuki told Fuyuka he's from Hokkaido, and Fuyuka was like, "WHAT, ME TOO!" That's how their friendship started.

Fuyuka and Fubuki occasionally met up after FFI before Fuyuka transferred to Raimon. It made Fubuki think about transferring there too.

Fubuki started falling in love with Fuyuka because of her caring nature and their shared interests (Winter, Football etc)

Fuyuka fell in love with Fubuki because they understand each other, especially because their trauma is similar (losing both parents) as her and thinks he is mentally strong, which she likes in men.

They started dating when talking about organizational things during Fubuki's visit to Raimon. A random kid asked if they were dating, and Fubuki said "Well, maybe we are. What about it, Fuyuka?" Fuyuka was just a blushing mess and nodded.

At a Christmas party, Fuyuka got Fubuki for Secret Santa and crocheted two budgies matching their hair colors. Fubuki keeps them as keychains.

When one has a PTSD flashback, the other comforts and assures them they are going through it together.

Both are obsessed with Christmas year-round, listening to Christmas music except during the actual Christmas season.

When shopping, if the mall sells Christmas stuff early, Fubuki excitedly tells Fuyuka as in "HONEY LOOK THEY ARE SELLING CHRISTMAS STUFF IN SEPTEMBER!!!" She finds it cute and buys him small Christmas decorations.

Their favorite dates involve walking in the dark, looking for animals in the forest.

When they are engaged, they jokingly fight about taking each other's last names. Both names go well (Kudou Shirou rhymes, while Fubuki Fuyuka share the same 2 letters at the beginning).

They adopt a husky as their pet.

If Fuyuka gets pregnant, they both worry if their kid will end up like them in a bad way. They don't tell each other about this fear.

Both are introverts, but their kids grow up to be extroverts.

They take turns caring for the household and working. Their schedules complement each other.

As they grow old, they become ultimate grandparent figures for everyone.

In fights, they can easily exaggerate or get loud, but they both apologize at the same time unintentionally.

Fubuki sends Fuyuka a lot of TikToks/Reels.

Their home is warm and cozy, filled with blankets and cushions.

Fuyuka randomly holds Fubuki's hand to warm them up because his hands are always cold. She asks why his hands are so cold and Fubuki just gives her a scientific explanation (Like in the Tiktok Audio)

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── AGAIN VERY FUN PERSON TO WORK WITH!!!!! I love their writing alotz,, /pos

About the Time and Memory Universe + Random Tidbits :)

About:

SO... this Time and Memory Universe of mine is just a self-indulgent, college, slice-of-life series that I do not plan on legitimately writing 💀

It may or may not also include time travelling and dystopian features... I'm yet to decide

Yes I know it has a lame ass name but I'm terrible at titles LMAO

It's more friendship-centred than romance, but all the characters are open-ended for ships :P

But yeah, there's no legit plotline. They're just struggling college students and a gang of friends :D it'd probably be an SMAU

They may be underdeveloped, but they are a work in progress!

PLEASE ask me questions about them (or literally any oc of mine) I'd be so happy to talk about them 😩🥺💕

Headcanons

Ellie and Jessie first met being classmates since intermediate, bonding over having twin brothers. The brothers eventually meet too and the four have been pretty close ever since.

Eli met Kevin through being in a club together, and Eli being the extrovert, adopted the introvert.

Josh met Mari and Sam being in the same education course and often worked with them and they eventually joined the group.

Similarly, Josh meets Lee through the same process. Coincidentally, Lee caught Eli’s interest and he adopted the introvert too.

Eli and Ellie bicker the most and cause the most silly drama. Surprisingly, Kevin is one to start drama too. Eli tends to be the butt of the jokes. Mari and Sam are the parents of the group, and everyone babies Lee (and Kevin).

After hearing Lee call Ellie and Mari “Ate”, Jess insisted that Lee call her “Unnie” too

Lee bonds with the girl twins the most, talking about drawing, designing, writing, and music. 

Karaoke, dancing, gaming, binging, and study sessions!

Kevin isn’t usually called by nickname, BUT, only Lee is allowed to call Kevin “Vin”.

Podcast/SM!AU

BFBS have a podcast called “ChillPog” (Eli came up with the name, please think of something better.)

They started it during their first year of uni, when the gang got together. Lee and Kevin have become a new addition.

They all use online aliases, eg. Lee = leeyanyan

Their real names get used in the podcast most the time anyways.

They just chill and chat, talk about anything and everything. They have game nights, karaoke sessions, study sessions and all sorts of things.

Kevin, Eli and Samsul are gamer streamers.

Jess, Mariel and Yuki are vloggers.

Ellie (often joined by Eli and Jess), Zack and Bea are cover artists.

Ellie is also a content creator, and is generally all-around.

Lee is an underground casual cover artist. She hasn't told anyone about it and doesn't plan to :)

They each all have their own fanbases, Lee’s growing after her involvement with ChillPog

They’re basically like DanPlan/Plan3

They also have a second account for when the group needs to split into two for 4-player games

Alternating between "ughhhhh" and bitter laughter

Soooooooo people who are Facebook friends with me already know I'm mad/laughing about my managers today.

I was scheduled from 12pm-6pm, but I actually CLOCKED OUT at 6:40pm because nobody came to grab my till.

Managers then griped at me going "Jadevine, it's forty minutes past your shift end! You gotta be faster about this and tell people when you're about to leave!"

And I'm like "WELL I USED TO DO THAT. PEOPLE TOLD ME TO QUIT CALLING FOR MANAGERS BEFORE MY SHIFT ENDED BECAUSE I KEPT ANNOYING PEOPLE ON THE RADIO. NOW I DON'T CALL FOR MANAGERS ANYMORE." Inside I'm just going "bitches, why do I need to tell YOU about my schedule, which you print out every fucking week???"

Everyone just keeps asking me for help with random shit because we're understaffed, and no manager has ever called on the radio "wait now, Introvertbard is about to leave, find someone else" or at least "Introvertbard, you go do that and go straight to the office, I'll grab your cash drawer so you can count out afterward."

Just making sure this is clear, I'm mostly okay with staying over my shift end because I get that extra $17 an hour. What I don't like is how the managers gripe about me being "slow" and costing them money, when they're the ones who either lose track of time or they just don't follow the fucking schedule they want to use.

During a work party thing, they actually gave me a fake award for "the slowest employee" and I thought it was a joke because the OTHER awards were like "most likely to hide in the bathroom" and "[Manager]'s favorite."

I was annoyed as fuck that they actually consider me slow at working, but it's BECAUSE THEY DON'T LET ME FUCKING LEAVE ON TIME.

Anyway, I'm bringing my statue of Loki to work tomorrow, and I'll see if they actually start paying attention to our scheduled shifts, lolllll.

Technically I keep "bringing Loki to work" whenever I forget that I put him in my bag and I was going to put him back on the dresser after I did whatever chores I needed, but this time I'll do it ON PURPOSE.

Does the god of Chaos like bowling? FIND OUT TOMORROW AT NOON.

Note: This is not Marvel Loki, who looks like Tom Hiddleston. It's a statue of Loki LaufeyJARson, god of chaos, from Norse mythology. I bought the statue at a witch festival after I heard a couple of teenage girls go "it's my boy! Asterisk!", which just tickled me.

Two hours later, everything kept going wrong. I was like "LOKI STOPPPPPPPPPPPP, PLEASE!!!" I then rolled the statue up in a frantically-drawn picture of Mjollnir, massively regretting that I didn't think to buy the vendor's THOR statue to keep that fucker in line.

Loki and I have a complicated not-relationship, even before I bought the statue. Imagine an extrovert adopting an introvert as their friend, only the extrovert is an abrasive motor-mouth and constantly spoiling for a fight. I don't call myself a Lokean, because that implies I actually want to hang out with Loki.

Then he makes a lot of hard but true observations about me, my life, and how unfair American/Western society is to the people who fall through the cracks, and I'm like "...okay, you have a LOT of good points. But please. Give me some peace."

[mammonswhore]

Heyo! How would the Obey Me brothers react to MC being a teenager/younger gen Z? Like, the paper-work got mixed up somehow, and said they were like 26, when they were actually like 16? Also (you don't have to include this), what if the teen MC was actually really interested in demons and angles before coming to devildom, so they're really nervous, but also really excited? If you don't wanna do it, that's fine tho :) Have a great day/night!

I love this prompt! Have a great day too,love🖤

Brothers reaction to MC being a Gen Z teen. (Platonic)

✒Lucifer.

He can already picture himself struggling with you.

Six brothers to take care of + a TEEN? Man is about to loose it.

If you are an introverted he will like you automatically and feel relieved that you will not always get into his brothers shenanigans.

If you are an extroverted (or just a curious one tbh) he will keep an eye on you 24/7 so you won't get into Mammon schemes or Satan's nerves and get yourself in trouble.

Really amused if you like demons and angels, will curse himself for misreading but will not hate himself too much since you are not that scared.

Gets tired of you quickly if you make too many questions and will always send you to ask Mammon or if it's something that he doesn't know himself he will ask Diavolo and tell you later but he will (of course) act all high and mighty as if he already knew the answer to such question.

Will practically adopt you and spoil you a lot because hes is big brother.

Overprotective. Oh you met a lesser demon and you want to go on a date with them? Haha he won't let you.

You will be the only person who gets in trouble and leaves with just a warning.

Also you are totally his soft spot. Man can't resist your sad face and will do anything to make you happy even if he doesn't like to admit that.

Totally lost when it comes to TikTok/memes references and will ask about it a lot.

✒Mammon

He is amazing. Not only does whatever you ask him to but also has the best ways to get you out of boredom.

He will teach you how to scam people and how to be a good thief even if you don't need it or want it.

Teaches you about demons and angels without even knowing. Sometimes he drops random facts but it's not until he realizes you write down what he says that he stops doing it just to hear you ask him things so he can act all smug and smart.

If someone breaks your heart he will be ready to throw hands,no one hurts their little siblings.

Like Lucifer,he adopted you and always claims to be "the one you choose to be with you first" making sure his brothers hear him.

He will help you make your homework. Even if he doesn't understand he will try his best.

Please refer to him sometimes as "big brother" he will die.

When he saves your ass from getting killed by lesser demons he will be ready to receive the biggest hug ever and is absolutely ready to be praised.

If he saves you and you say "thanks,big brother" now you have a problem. He will brag about it for a week (at least).

Will steal things from you to keep them with him when he is going thru an episode. It reminds him that someone thinks of him as worthy and love deserving.

Will die for you,you are not only family now but his favorite person.

Will compliment you in the best brotherhood way he can "looking good today,kid", "your hair looks nice,brat" and "You are the best looking sibling after me of course" are his go to compliments. Mostly does it because you compliment him back and because he knows his comments make you feel closer to him and boy loves it.

✒Levi

If you are an introvert like him you can expect him to go out of his room more often just to see you or talk to you.

If you are not he will try to make you an indoors person but if he can't he is might be willing to take a risk and go out once a week but just to the manga store and back,don't expect more,normie.

If you like any thing he likes he will try to test you and prove he is better than you,he doesn't give a fuck you are practically a child he can't loose.

If he wins he will be very happy and more open to you to open up with some things.

If he doesn't win he will cry when he is alone and call himself an ugly unworthy idiot who can't even be considered an otaku but relax my dude,MC will go to you and reassure you you know better than them and that they will love to hear what you have to say (even if they don't mean it,they love you and will love to see you happy again).

Knows the basics about demons and angels so he is not the best to go to if you have too many questions. That's the only time he will let his envy go away and tell you to go to Satan or Lucifer since they know more than him.

He does not takes his duty as a big brother as something serious since Lucifer is always there but if you call him "big brother" he is going to take that role serious but for you and you only.

Will 100% find siblings cosplays and gets you to do it with him.

If you ever said something like "I'm lucky that my big brother is also my best friend" he might tear up a little since he has never been considered someone's best friend ever.

If any of his brothers try to get you to call him "big brother" he will go on a rampage unless it's Lucifer. Boy is envious not dumb.

If it was Lucifer he will go to him later and ask you if he can stop trying to get you to call him that way because that's they way you call him and it makes him feel special. Lucifer will probably agree because he knows Levi doesn't feel special often so he might give in; if he doesn't Levi will start an argument and won't stop until Lucifer cuts him off or agrees.

Keep calling him big brother, he adores it.

✒Satan

As grumpy as he is,he loves to have yo by his side. Not because he loves company but because he likes to be able to answer all your questions.

Ask him anything about demons or angels and he knows it,fuck he is smart.

Will get you a notebook so you can write what he says and will give you books to read as "extra homework" it's kind of a bad deal if you think of it but it's his way to show love.

The only person who calls him "big brother" often is Asmo and got used to it coming from him and him only. If he hears you calling him that way he will probably jump out of happiness when he is alone but for know he will just answer to that name name and act like nothing happened.

You don't want to do your homework? Fine you can copy mine but just this once.

If you struggle with anything he will solve it for you,no cap.

He will get you cat themed items like pencils, notebooks,necklaces or rings.

Matching is a must. Not because he likes the concept of being associated with a part of someone but because he will love to brag with his brothers obviously.

Will definitely get mad if you ask any type of demon/angel related thing to others.

Names a cat after you but it's the cats middle name so he won't get mocked. Won't tell you tho.

Very very protective but good at hiding it. He might be following you down the street but you wouldn't even know. Kinda creepy? Yes. Have you ever got eaten? Nope.

✒Asmo

Yes! Exactly what he was waiting for.

You are part of his experiments. You don't like makeup? Well now you do. What type of clothes do you have? Do you have an aesthetic? No? Well now you do.

He is always there when you need him to. Best of them all to give advise when needed.

Definitely will be annoyed by all of your questions but will try to be as gentle as possible to tell you that.

Can help you to become really good at comebacks,believe him he knows best than anyone.

He is the one making sure you are educated when comes to sex. Simple but worthy lessons such as "sex is about experimenting and finding what you really like but you always need your partners consent" or "always have a safe word,even when you have vanilla type of sex" or the best one yet "if they want to fuck with you that's fine but always remember to use protection because I will not like to see you having a child so young or having an abortion" because yeah that's what big brothers do.

If you hit him with the "you are the best,big brother" he will jump into your arms and say that he knows he is the best but that hearing that was way too magical,do it again!

He is very aware of insecurities and will try to be the shoulder you cry on if you need to,he is always there to wipe of your tears (or wipe off the ones who hurt you).

Not as protective as the others but keeps an eye on you because your curiosity might hurt you.

Will be crushed if he sees you suffering from the most minimal thing. That lipstick does not fit your skin color? Fuck that lipstick! We are getting new ones,go get Lucifers card!

Spoils you way more than any other because he wants to create a brat. He needs to have someone like you who will cling into Lucifer and beg him to let you do dumb things because you know Lucifer can't say no to you. He needs your power and is not afraid to tell you that

Constant reassurance. He always calls you by cute nicknames and as long as you call him "my beautiful big brother" every time he is amused.

✒Beel

Baby is ready to give you life lessons. Don't stab anyone,drink enough water and be patient with the ones you love.

Yes,he learned the "don't stab anyone" from talking to Belphie.

Is very lost when it comes to you being so interested in demons and angels because he is not used to be the one answering the questions but making them. Bare with him, he is trying to get a good answer.

Will ask for advice on how to answer you, probably goes to Lucifer but mostly Belphie.

Soon you two start doing things together that involve learning from humans and angels. Maybe you are walking down the street working out and when you both start chatting about demon life and suddenly everything stops.

Beel is clueless when it comes to comforting someone about an insecuritie since he was the one being comforted most of the times but will give you space if you need to or do whatever you feel comfy with.

If you call him "big brother" he will hug you like no one has ever hugged you before. Teddy bear hugs are a must now.

Will die for you and is not afraid of telling you such. "MC I will die for you" "whAt?" "As your big brother I may protect you with my life" "Please don't."

Tells you how much he wants you to be happy and constantly asks if you have any type of dreams or goals.

If you do have goals or dreams he will encourage you to go get it. Beel is there to support you no matter what.

✒Belphie.

Absolutely fucking not.

Why is everyone spoiling this stupid brat and not me? I hate them.

But hold on there,he doesn't completely hates you he just hates the attention you get.

If you go to him with a soft attitude and ask him if you can nap together he will say yes and will enjoy the moment a lot .

He has never been someone's big brother so it kinda hits him if you call him like that and will try to act confident and smug about it but it's kinda terrified.

What if he doesn't catch up on the big brother thing and fucks up? He doesn't want to disappoint you or make you feel awkward. So he copies his big brother and tries his best,believe me he does.

You need help with something? Ugh well I will help but you owe me one (you don't owe him anything really,he just doesn't wants to be seen as soft for you). Oh did someone caused you problems? No biggie,I will take care of it.

Spoiler alert: he is very overprotective with you,he doesn't want to lose you.

Healing: If you’ve seen a healer recently or will need to see one soon, it’s very possible that she will be there. When not hired to travel with a group and tend to their wounds on the go, she can be found in various healing houses across the land. Were you hurt on your own travels nowhere near civilization? She would not have hesitated to stop and help you if she chanced upon you.

Souls & Spirituality: Having grown up in a traditional Hellsguard village, she believes strongly in guiding souls and helping the living with understanding spirituality. When she isn’t healing, nurturing her spirituality and communicating with the souls of those long gone are part of how she spends her free time.

Witchcraft:  While she is newer to witchcraft, she does her best to learn and practice it when she can. She will sometimes offer divination sessions to hone her skills and is comfortable performing traditional rituals to help those in need.

Nightlife: Are you a fan of the nightlife? Rose will occasionally visit smaller, cozier lounges and clubs to sit back, have a drink, and people watch. She almost always welcomes company and would be hard pressed to turn down someone asking to sit with her for a while.

Other: In general, Rose is a very flexible character. If none of these fit your character or interest you but you're still wanting to RP, please reach out to me! I'd be happy to set up a random encounter or plan a scenario out with you to fit both of our interests.

Rose is on Balmung, but I am just as happy writing on Discord if you’re located on another DC (until visits are added!) or just prefer that over RP in-game. Thanks for reading. :)

[manjiroro]

hello!!!!!! congratulations for the 500 event!! you deserve it!

I came to make a matchup request! and sorry but i only watch tokrev these days so please put me with a lad la heheheheh!

I'm an INTJ girl, 8w7 and choleric.

i have very big kin in sasuke uchiha and bakugo katsuki.

I'm introverted, very quiet actually but I can explode easily because I accumulate a lot of anger.

I'm the kind of person who scares others by walking with a classic death glare and having a violent reputation (can't deny it). some people are afraid that I'll randomly punch them because I've done it a few times when I was high on adrenaline.

when i'm not being this wild animal, i'm very serious and quiet. I just like to stay quiet, hoping that nothing takes my patience and seeking as much silence as possible.

i love cats so much!!!!!! sometimes I take care of some puppies before they go to adoption and it is very therapeutic for me. it makes me calm down and feel like i'm worthy of love (usually i think otherwise so i do shit to get people to walk away from me).

my closest friends are never bothered by anyone because I'm like their "protective dog".

I have anger and mommy issues ☠️☠️

i fight muay thai. I sometimes feel weak and discouraged in training so I really wanted someone to help me with this.🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕

I used to play guitar and paint, but I neglect my feelings so I end up doing nothing.

I really like to read too! I love fiction!

i hate people who appear to be weak, you know? emotionally speaking.

I hate study. I'm really bad on matters with numbers.

I hate that they try to control me or put me in a cage. I hate stereotypes. I hate rain on a summer day. like because it's raining but you can't relax like you would on a cold day with a tea and blankets because it's FUCKING HOT with RANDOM COLD WINDS WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT. and then it rains with lightning and thunder and then suddenly SOME can't plan the day. when you think it's gone after five minutes THIS SHIT STARTS AGAIN MAKES ME FEEL INSANE

my favorite things about other people are usually things that remind me of myself, because I'm kind of narcissistic.

I like violent people who defy the world. however I prefer extroverted people to give a balance. if the person doesn't like animals or star gazing, he can drop out.

so now i'm going to talk a little bit about my insecurities because i'd like the person i got romantically involved with to help me with that, come on!

physically speaking, i hate my teeth. the fronts are slightly bigger and it makes me feel kind of pathetic even though it's barely noticeable. i hate my height so much. I have 155cm and sometimes I want to die for it. I hate my face seen from the side. I hate feeling too small and powerless.

sometimes I feel like a shitty friend for not being able to show feelings easily. I'm not the kind of friend who can give you emotional support if something happens but a solution. I've never been able to say "I love you" to anyone. I don't usually like physical contact, but man, if you get into my heart I'll literally be gum.

now about what I would like to do with my s/o...

I would like him to take me out and get some fresh air, because I look like a corpse vampire decomposing me at home (and also to get away from my mother...)☠️

he should take care of cats with me simply because yes! would be our children!

I would like to exchange book referrals. usually the things I read are very large and complex. he could help me get to know lighter things simply for a quick distraction.

my hair is long, straight and black. a bit of a punk rocker format. I'm obsessed with him and my s/o would take care of his hair with me! we would make ridiculous hairstyles with each other!

maybe skincare too but I'm not an expert on that.

he would study with me because i'm really fucked this end of year and i need a grade in math and physics. I see him complaining about studying and being someone who doesn't like to study either (because I couldn't stand someone who defends this fucking educational system) but he would try to understand the matter for him and for me. I see ourselves having nervous laughter when we can't get a basic equation right. it's like I laugh because I've given up and I want to explode and he laughs with me because he sees life more lightly than I do. I need to stop making my life so hard.

about "seeing life lightly" he would be the kind of guy who takes care of me so I don't worry so much about everything. with jokes, with vandalism around, getting into a fight with me to relieve the tension, reading lying on my lap. anything.

hummm and by the way i would be the kind of girlfriend who at the end of the day just wants to go to bed and stay there. if we are too tired to talk or do anything, i would lie on his lap or he on mine and appreciate that he is there for me and loves me. but maybe i would start a conversation about something i/he likes. or it would just be too “😆😆🤩🤩💗💗 YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL DID YOU KNOW THAT??????? 💕💕💕💕💕😛😛😋😋😋😋😛😆😆😋😋WHO IS MY CUTE KITTEN?????”

something very fluff... I'm very loving deep down I think.

he would be a guy who likes to annoy me by joking and placing bets, he would probably laugh while i make a 😾 and then after a few seconds i would laugh along.

he would be so energetic that on days when there were tragic and motherfucking summer rains he would do lots of random things at home with me. maybe try to cook but i don't have the skill so if he didn't we would have to eat fast food or we would starve. nothing would ever be boring with him. I like unpredictable people because I'm also one hehe.

...I wanted to do double cheesy like matching toothbrushes and wear a ring with cat ears.

I WOULD MAKE HIM DRESS A CAT FOR ME NO DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!

his hug would be my greatest comfort while I was tired and he would lift me up on his lap to play tricks. if I do not were in the mood for it, he would suggest activities that could distract me and if I didn't have the energy for that he would just stay there with me.

I... secretly... wanted him to motivate me to paint because... I need to get feelings out sometimes.

he wouldn't try to break my habit of getting into fights or graffiti random stuff because like i said, i wasn't made to be in a cage.

we would dedicate cheesy songs to each other from time to time.

well... he would be my sun and I would be his moon, that's it.

well I think it's complete!!!! thank you in advance and sorry if it was too long!!!!

500 milestone event (closed!!)

hello! thank you for joining my event!! YOU REMIND ME OF BAJI HELP- AND SO I’LL GIVE YOU HIM

i match you with.. BAJI KESUKE

baji practically checks all your boxes

the both of you are so similar that it sometimes scares the other toman guys

they view the both of you as the chaotic couple and are menaces

the both of you never seem to stay away from trouble and the guys take turns to get you both out of it

baji will not hesitate to barge into your room and drag you out with him simply because 1. you need sunlight and 2. he’s bored

he’s actually very excited when he’s with you because not many of his friends would be willing to do the crazy shit he does

and because of that he’ll want to do everything with you

as much as hates studying and reading, he’ll be willing to do it for you, he’ll help you study and pick up on reading just for you

baji is patient with you and he wouldn’t rush things if you’re uncomfortable, he wouldn’t be bothered with the lack of physical affection too, all that matters to him was the valuable time spent with you

he’s willing to do all those cute, domestic couple stuff because he knows how much you love them and so he’ll do it to make you happy

he’ll complain at first but he doesn’t mean it

dating baji kesuke was a rollercoaster indeed, dating him brought thrill and excitement that only he was able to provide you. but on some days, he brings you a calming and relaxing feeling. the duality of baji was something you truly adore and on top of all that, he was able to give you the love and affection you’ve never thought of receiving.

“oi get up.”

you rose from under the covers to see your boyfriend standing at the doorway, light from the outside shining into your dark room.

“what”

“i’m bringing you out, if not you’ll stay in here for the rest of your life.”

baji grumbles, walking over to you and dragging you out of your cave. pulling you along with him out of your house and to his bike. you squinted at the bright sun shining down onto you.

“where are we going?”

“my place.”

without waiting for your reply, he sped off, catching you off guard as you wrapped your arms tightly around his waist in fear that you’d fall.

once you reached his house, you got off, feeling a little lightheaded from how fast he was going.

“okay, now that you’ve kidnapped me, what’re we gonna do.”

you asked, crossing your arms at him as he leads you to his room. you stared at him as he took a seat on the floor. he gestures for you to come closer and when you do, he pulls on you, making you sit right on his lap.

“hey now, i didn’t kidnap you. we’re just gonna have a chill time together”

he mumbles into your neck as he nuzzles into you. just then, a cat crawls into his room, making its way over to you. it jumps into your lap and purrs, your heart swells at the sight.

“okay, we’re having a chill date with this cat.”

your boyfriend speaks up, resting his chin on your shoulder as he reaches over to pat the cat. you sighed in content as you enjoyed the love and warmth provided by the cat and your boyfriend.

[sweater-daddiesdumbdork]

Have to share this phone call with my best friend and nephew I just had.

So my best friend is the opposite of me in just about every way imaginable. How we are best friends, I really dont know. She is my extrovert that adopted me when we were kids and kept me. She doesnt get my love of reading, movies and random characters, but she accepts that I do.

Anyways, her son and her watched The Lion King, cartoon version. Of course we know what happens, Mufasa dies. She knows this, she was expecting him to be sad cause its a sad moment. So she thought she was ready for it to be a "Oh yes its sad, but its just a movie kiddo."

What she was unprepared for was just how sad it made my nephew. See she lives in the very real facts of life. For her, its a cartoon character, so hes not really dead because he never really existed. Sure its sad, but its not like a real person just died, or a real lion. She was kinda at a loss of how to help him with his feelings.

So she calls me with a "Amber, can you just talk to him please?"

Of course we discuss what happened, and how it was okay to feel bad for Simba and Mufasa, why he felt guilty and even though it was not an actual person, our feelings are real and it was okay to express them. Once he just spit it all out and was able to talk to someone who felt the similar way he did, he felt better about it.

I love my friend, she is my sister in every way. But sometimes she is to damn grown up for her own good. LMAO

[moonlit-imagines]

Okay cool, that's what I thought but I thought I'd ask just in case haha.

Meredith • Titans please • extra choice: sibling • Female she/hers • sexuality: straight (kind of ace/demi spectrum?🤷‍♀️but also romantic at heart lol)

-likes: Redemption arcs, nerding out over an interest with someone, animals, disney and disney world, Musical theater (cant sing to save my life tho opps),history and museums(love old artifacts and places, a friendly debate(especially about nerdy things)

-dislikes: initiating the conversation, cocky people, rude people, bugs, when people verbally attack something I love, healthy food lol

-hobbies: dance, Video editing, traveling and going on adventures, watching movies and shows

-extra info about you/any random stuff: Physical touch is my love language, tho often too scared to initiate it. But hugs and cuddling are my fav things ever. Can be super awkward but like I think cute awkward? Super innocent. I'm annoyingly empathetic, often over little things like someone getting their feelings hurt. Extroverted introvert, I like to be included and LOVE adventures but I NEED my alone time to recharge.

Ambitious, super passionate, super sweet. Can always find a positive in any situation. super over sensitive tho and think everyone hates me and that I'm annoying. I can be super intense sometimes and steam roll but it's because I'm super passionate. I get excited about any and everything. Both a kid at heart and an old soul. Dad issues.

Thanks so much girl and congrats again!!!(and sorry if this was too long lol)

thank you mer!!! (and don’t worry about it!! it’s perfect)

s/o: gar logan and you are total nerds together. he’d never gotten to experience anything super fun outside of TV and gaming media considering his previous life, but when the titans were reformed, disneyland wasnt too far away from san diego. you guys may have taken bruce’s cash and had a few dates around there, and who could really blame you? it was an awesome date location. you wanted to show gar everything exceptional in this world.

enemy: jason todd was family, but he annoyed the crap out of you. always cynical, always rude, always moody, always treating everyone like they were doormats. you knew he was dealing with a lot, you went through it too when you worked with bruce, but it was no excuse to treat everyone around him so awful, so you’d attempt to make him back off whenever you could because that just wasn’t right.

best friend: rachel roth just gets you. she always has. the idea of serenity and privacy that you have resonates with her and she’ll give it to you whenever you need, even ward other people off when you need it. and she’ll keep you company in silence while you each do your own thing if you so choose. it’s nice just spending time with her while trying to relax on your own and you know she’d do anything to make you feel comfortable.

sibling: dick grayson and jason todd were both adopted by bruce wayne, so you became one big happy family. not really, though. dick was a brother to you and he was actually pretty protective, too. you two were an amazing team and saw eye to eye for the most part. jason was newer, you tried figuring him out but all you learned is that he was bitter and really needed friends. he didn’t want them, though. you’d work on it, for sure.

The Lake

NCT fanfic - 3.4k - Gender Neutral- A group of friends go to their nearby lake to hang out:)

Warnings: Drowning is mentioned but don't worry! No one actually drowns, the narrator just can't swim and is scared. Sex is also mentioned. Alcohol.

Author's Note: This is written in first person but the narrator is referred to as Y/N. Johnny and Ten aren't THAT important in the story, it's mostly the narrator and Mark.

~~~

It was almost time.

My friends and I were getting ready to go to the lake for a celebration.

Though the only thing worth celebrating was that Mark was finally graduating high school. He was the baby of our group. Ten and I were both 20, Johnny was 22 and Mark was just 18. We all started being friends in high school, I met Ten in dance class and Johnny in chorus my freshman year. We adopted Mark during my junior year though. We noticed some random kid sitting alone at lunch most every day. Nothing wrong with that, I myself sat alone sometimes during my freshman year. But this was different. Another group of kids began to sit with him, we thought he finally found his crowd. Until one week, Mark's little table was empty. We just assumed he was sick or something, until it lasted the whole week. We didn't have any classes with him and we had never spoken to him so there was no way to know what happened. The next Monday, Johnny just so happened to stop by the bathroom during lunch and saw poor Mark sitting on the (disgusting) bathroom floor, crying and eating alone. Then he brought him to sit with us. The rest is history.

Not really, I've never had a history class with any of them.

But that brings us to tonight, I am just about to open the door to leave my dorm room when my roommate asks, "Where are you going?"

Dangn't. I had been trying my best not to wake them up but I failed. Like always.

"Just out with some friends." I answer in the most calm way possible.

Adrian isn’t a snitch or anything, I just don’t want them knowing my business. We were never really that close.

"Okay," They roll back over in their bunkbed, facing the wall.

I almost slip out of the door when they ask, "What time will you be back?"

"Before 5."

They roll over again. "Okay, just be more quiet when you sneak back in please."

They must be referring to the time I came in at 6 A.M. and my morning alarm started blaring. I kept trying to push the off button but my screen was too cracked for me to press it. They'll never let me live that down.

I slip out of the door and am on my way to the bathroom. I don’t need to think of a plan to get out or anything, my Resident Advisor doesn’t care if we leave during the night. Ten wouldn't have such an easy time though, I hear the advisor at his dorm is more strict.

I finally step outside of my building only to notice that Ten beat me here.

"How'd you get past your RA?"

He laughs. "It's easy to reason with someone you've slept with."

"Gross." I shove him to the side. Not gross, quite cool actually. I was very jealous. Ten's RA was drop dead gorgeous and the amount of times I asked him if I could sleep over to see if they'd stop by his room is far too many to count.

We were on our way to Johnny's place to go chill at the lake behind his house. He went to the same college as Ten and I but he lived at home with his parents. I would too if they were as loaded as his family, not to mention they live pretty close to school. A walk was only 35 minutes away which never seemed like much if you walked with other people.

Walking to Johnny's was normally silent when I went by myself but that was never the case with Ten. He always had some cool college story to tell, we were both juniors but his experience seemed much more interesting that mine. Whether he was spilling gossip about the dance team or who he'd been flirting with during his most recent seminar, it was always something eventful.

"What college do you think Mark will choose?" Ten asks.

Woah. That's a much different direction from where he normally goes.

"Why such a somber question to start the night? (morning actually) I wanna know if anything new has happened between Veronica and Tamika?" I try changing the subject. Veronica and Tamika were two girls in his dance class who had supposedly been best friends since their freshman year. Everyone knew they liked each other but neither of them had ever asked the other out.

"Seriously Y/N. What if he doesn't come to our school?"

"Well," I normally try not to think about what would happen if Mark left the country for college. "Then we'll video chat with him every week and text him all the time and he'll come home each summer."

Ten doesn’t look at me but I know that this is eating him up.

It'd been eating all of us up. Johnny, Ten, and I had all gone to GC State for our own separate reasons and we were hoping Mark would too but he had his eyes set on an arts school in Vancouver. He was born in Canada so it would mean so much to him to move back there for college but he didn't want to leave his friends (us).

"I just don't want us to split up. We were gonna be his older college buddies." It was dark out but I could still see the frown on Ten's face.

I put my arm around his shoulder. "He still has about a month left, we don't know what he's going to pick. And whichever school he does choose, we'll support him."

Ten sighs. "I guess your right. We don't where he'll go yet but we have to be happy for him."

I nod my head and continue walking beside him.

"Oh and Ica-Ika is never gonna work out." 'Ica-Ika' was a cute ship name Ten and I made for Veronica and Tamika. "Imagine being a senior in college and still being too nervous to confess to your crush."

I raise my eyebrow at him. "You're one to talk."

"Look. I've got one more year. Quit rushing me."

I laugh at Ten. He's had a crush on Johnny since high school but has never told him. At this rate he never will.

~~~

We finally arrive at Johnny's house. He has that type of house that you have to drive down to since it's off by itself. The three story ones with the huge yards. The house where everybody wants to be and where all the parties were. Not to mention the lake in the back. I was surprised when I found out that Johnny was an only child. Why would their family need such a big house if there were just 3 of them? But it's not my place to judge what other people do with their hard earned money.

Johnny's car is the only one in the driveway so his parents aren't home. Ten and I don't bother walking through the front door, we walk straight to the back and find Mark sitting in a lawn chair and Johnny standing right beside him.

Johnny had always taken a liking to Mark ever since he found him in the bathroom. Not in the cliché high school relationship type of way though, Johnny was not a creepy senior guy on the varsity football team and Mark was not an innocent freshman girl who had 'developed' over the summer. They were 4 years apart but the way they act, you'd think they were the exact same age. Except they don't look the same age. Johnny was tall (a giant really) with long brown hair. Between his extroverted personality and his beefy arms, he had all the girls, guys, and honestly anyone with eyes after him. Mark was... not like Johnny. He was much smaller with short black hair and I'm sure people would be after him if he wasn't so darn oblivious to everyone who wants him. It's like he was waiting for someone special to come along and ask him out but who knows when that will happen?

"You're finally here!" Johnny turned at the sound of our footsteps and came up to hug us. He always gave great hugs.

"Now the party can start!" I say while Ten and Johnny hug for a second too long.

Mark gets up to hug us as well and we make our way to the lake, although he lingers to walk beside me instead of with Johnny and Ten.

~~~

"Have you decided which college you're going to yet?" I glare at Ten from my chair and Johnny does the same.

"You haven't even gotten him to drink yet and you're already asking him important questions? What am I teaching you Ten?" Johnny takes another swig of his own glass of wine. He's the only person who would bring fancy glasses and expensive wine to hang out at the lake with his friends at 3 A.M.

"I can't drink yet Johnny." Mark says.

Johnny winks at him. "Riiight."

I laugh as I drink from my own glass. "There's no rush in your decision Mark. We'll be happy with whatever you choose."

Everyone was silent as we all thought about what Mark's decision would be. Our guess was as good as his.

"C'mon guys no being sad at our celebration." Johnny jumps up from his seat. "To the lake!"

He begins walking to the lake, Ten close on his heels cheering. I get up from my seat to follow them but notice Mark still sulking in his chair. He must still be thinking about college. No doubt he has exams soon, he has this big decision to add on top of it all.

I walk over to Mark and grab his hand, motioning for him to walk with us.

When we get to the lake, the rest of the guys rid themselves of their shirts while Mark keeps his on. I opt to keep my shirt on as well, I don't plan on swimming today.

"You're not gonna swim?" Mark takes his shoes off, preparing to get in the water.

"No, not today." I sit down on the dock and stick my feet in the cool water.

Instead of getting in the water like Ten and Johnny, Mark sits down beside me. "I won't swim either then."

There's no use in telling him to go ahead and swim. He hates for any one of us to be left out so he'll stay with me no matter how much I protest.

The sadness in Mark's eyes from earlier disappears once he looks at the lake. His expression when he looks at the water makes it seem like he's never seen a lake like this before. He's always loved coming here. Johnny would sometimes pick him up after school when he had the time so they could just sit here at the lake and talk about anything. It was like his safe place. He wouldn't have the lake in Vancouver.

"Were you being serious earlier?" The reflection of the moon is still in his eyes but the sadness is back.

"Serious about what?" I say as I flick my feet in the water.

"When you guys said you'd support me. No matter what college I go to. You won't leave like-"

"No Mark," I stop him before he can even finish. "We won't leave you. It doesn't matter how far we are, we'll always be friends okay?"

He doesn't say anything but I know he understands. Ever since those kids ditched him in high school, he's had trust issues about people leaving him. There were so many people that tried to be friends with him but he always pushed them away because he thought they'd do the same. Sure he talks to some people at school, but his only real friends are all in college. I can't imagine how lonely that must feel.

I try to lighten the mood. "Hey Buddy," I say jokingly.

"Oh no, not buddy."

I place my arms around Mark's shoulders. "You know you're getting older and your life is changing..."

He then rips my arm from his shoulder laughing, "What is this?"

I grab his arm once again. "I'm just trying to tell you about college because you're a growing boy."

"Are you trying to give me the talk? Because I've had it before."

I turn and face him. "You've had sex before?!"

"What no! I meant the talk!"

I sigh out of relief. "Phew. Good. I couldn't believe you had never told me."

We both laugh until it gets quiet.

"You never told me whether you've had sex before."

He was not wrong. Johnny and Ten talked about their 'partners' all the time but I've never mentioned it because I've never been with anyone like that. I've always been waiting for the right time but it was really just me being cautious and refusing to have my first time in a cramped college dorm. No one (near my age) had caught my interest and, unfortunately, Johnny never volunteered so I've just been saving myself up I guess.

"That is correct." I don't know what Mark is getting at but I just keep letting him talk.

"Well do you thin-"

Before he can finish his sentence, I feel a splash of water hit me. Ten and Johnny float in the water in front of us with two big grins on their faces.

"Hey spoilsports, come swim with us." Johnny hits us with another splash and Mark jumps in to go play with them. Thank God. I was not about to let Mark down and tell him that I won't have sex with him during his last year of high school. There is nothing wrong with Mark except for how he is basically still a child and as (or even more) inexperienced as I am.

The guys stay near my area so I can still splash them from sitting down. Except it's mostly them cheating because whenever I throw water at them, they just duck under the surface whereas I have to stay up here and get wet.

By the time we're done, I'm soaking wet and Ten and Johnny have swam out again. Mark almost joins them but swims back to me.

"How come you aren't swimming with us?"

The word 'swim' is incorrect in this situation. He knows I can't swim. Normally, when we go to the lake, I lazy around in a floatie but I just don't feel like it right now.

"Mark, you know I can't swim."

"Well yeah," He flips his hair back and unintentionally sprays me with more water. "But we all can."

I'm sorry. I think he's failed to understand the concept of 'me not being able to swim = me drowning.'

Before I can inform him of that, Johnny and Ten come swimming towards us with a weird look in their eyes. When they get up on the dock, they shake their hair out as well, getting me wet again and then Johnny grabs Ten's hand and begins leading him back to the house.

"Where are you two going?" I question and they just giggle.

"Johnny wants to show me his room." Ten smiles up at the older and they're still walking away from us.

Mark calls out after them, "But we've all already seen his room!" They keep laughing, hand in hand, walking back to the house to do who knows what except we all know exactly what they're doing and I curse them in my head for setting up such a venereal tone in the air.

"What are they doing?" Mark looks up at me with the most oblivious look in his eyes.

"Sex."

"Gross."

Again, not gross. Very jealous.

I wish the moonlight and calm lake were not making the environment so romantic right now. Not to mention the text from Ten that says, 'Don't bother us. Go bang Mark :)'

Although that sounds very tempting, I will not be a senior in high school's, first time. Or let him be my first time.

"I can hold you if you're still afraid of swimming." Mark's quiet voice interrupts my thoughts.

"What?"

"We were talking about swimming earlier. If you're okay with it, I can just hold you in the water. I won't let go."

I get another text from Ten. 'Don't see any banging yet :(' I look up to the window of Johnny's bedroom and see a silhouette of them standing there. Mark waves at them and I can't see that far but I can tell that they're smiling before they close the curtain.

I put my phone away and respond to Mark. "It's really okay. You don't have to do that."

He moves from leaning on the dock beside me to being right in front of me, laying his hands on my knees.

"I pinky promise you'll be safe. Please swim with me."

Once again, the reflection of the moon does me dirty, illuminating the sincerity in Mark's eyes. I can't say no. (I absolutely could but I won't)

I take a deep breath. "Okay." I don't bother removing my shirt since he didn't either. Mark places his hands lightly around my waist and begins pulling me down into the water.

"Don't drop me." I say. I've done this before but with Johnny and he's much bigger and stronger than Mark so I can't say that I'm not a little worried he won't be able to carry me.

Mark just smiles and pulls me down until I'm no longer on the dock.

My first instinct is to immediately flail because I believe I will sink all the way to the bottom of the lake but Mark's grip on me tightens, obviously noticing how my body tensed up when I got into the water.

"I got you." He doesn't let me go as promised and we stay close to the dock, my back against the wood.

"See. All safe."

Being in the water isn't as scary as I thought it would be. I'm glad Mark is here with me. And I'm glad that we didn't leave the dock, giving me the option to change my mind and climb back up if I want to.

"What are you thinking?" He asks.

I haven't spoken since I got in the water. Maybe it's the calmness of the lake itself or the fact that Mark is holding me, but I can't think of anything to say.

"Nothing really." I feel the urge to wrap my legs around Mark's waist but I fight against it.

"Well I'm thinking of us."

I smile, staring at the moon. "Yeah. I really enjoy hanging out at the lake with you guys every once in a while.

"No Y/N." I look over at him. "I mean us. This."

I shake my head. There's always been something between us but it was so minute that we never spoke of it. "There is no this Mark. You know that. We both know that."

"Do we really?"

The water around us seems so still. The only movement is from our too close together chests, rising and falling at the same time. My eyes drift to his lips and I can't help but wonder how they would feel against my own.

Mark notices me staring, closes his eyes, and leans in but right when our lips almost touch, I turn my head to the side. His lips graze my cheek which is better than nothing I suppose. As much as my heart wants to, I cannot kiss him and add on to the already long list of reasons he would rather stay here than go to Vancouver. A kiss would only hold him back even more and I know how much he wants to leave.

"I'm sorry Mark." I lean my head into the nook of his neck hoping he won't push me away after what I just did. I don't want this to be awkward but I tighten my grip on his shoulders, not wanting to rid myself of his touch just yet.

"I understand." I want him to pull my face back up and tell me all the thoughts he's had about us. I want him to try to kiss me again, and this time I may kiss him right back. But he doesn't. Instead, his hold on my waist never loosens or falters even though I know his arms and whole body must be tired from swimming for so long.

I hope what we have won't falter either.

~~~

Sometimes when Mark calls me and I hear everything he's been doing and everyone he's been talking to, I wish I would've kissed him back at the lake. The people in Vancouver sound really pretty. And he always sounds really happy. What would've changed if I did kiss him? Maybe he would have went to college here and then we could be a cute couple like Ten and Johnny. But there's no telling what would happen. I just know that I'll always have a best friend halfway across the world.

But hey, there's always summer break.
