✸ headcanons % when you paint their nails.

✸ characters! . . . jinbei, crocodile, mihawk, shanks, roger, rayleigh, oden & kaido.

✸ cw(s)! . . . n/a. no pronouns used. not proofread.

✸ notes! . . . i usually never THIS many characters for headcanons. but i needed my ESDs, emotional support dilfs. they’ve been on my mind.

you originally asked to paint his nails because you wanted to see what a particular color looked like. but then it actually looked really cute on him, so you kept going

your loveable cuddle teddy bear doesn’t mind at all. definitely tries his best to model it for you

is the best model. he’s so precious :((

is very proud of your work and shows them off any time anyone asks

adores when you paint his nails to match his kimonos, especially when you add little designs that match the accents/patterns. he could just smother you in kisses

he loves when you give him sea themed nails. he adores that you want to remind him of his home. no one has done anything like that for him before

you don’t know how much it really means to him

tells you no but lets you do it anyway, only one nail tho he says…until he realizes it looks kinda weird, so he lets you do the whole hand

pretends he’s not interested in the slightest and has better things to do

but in reality he’s watching you the whole time, thinking how cute you are when you’re focused

he only wants black but has broadened his horizon to red. but any other color outside of those two is “not his type”

throughout his day when he’s not with you, he’ll look at his nails and be reminded of you

the type to take offense on your behalf if someone says something about his nails and will definitely over-exaggerate the situation to the extreme for the sake of making a point so that no one ever disrespects you again

you two give each other manicures

he’s probably better than you at it. his nail art is always so precise. he should run a side business if he ever gets tired of the pirate gig

mihawk himself prefers fall colors, your reds, oranges, deep purples, and golds. you know something that looks quite nice holding a wine glass

he doesn’t mind the occasional white though. but he doesn’t think green looks good on him

mihawk takes perfect care of his nails. he is going to make your work last !!

they always look so pretty when he’s holding his sword

mihawk loves matching nails with you. even if it’s a color he doesn’t particularly think suits him well

he asks you to paint his nails. don’t ask him why, because he doesn’t know, he just wants his nails painted

is terrible at staying still, he moves every five seconds, making you mess up. takes you longer to do his one hand than both of yours😭😭

shanks loves colors that pop out, especially ones that do not match his fit at all

he wants hot pink, the brightest shade of yellow around, even neon green

he wants acrylics so bad. he just loves the sound of nail tapping. but knows they’re going to hinder him further because he doesn’t know how to open things with them and will not take the time to learn

he’s too stubborn to. he’ll chip a nail or two for a bottle of beer without regrets

roger only becomes interested when he sees you painting your nails on the deck of the oro jackson

he practically flops in front of you with one of his hands already out. roger has his feet up in the air, kicking back and forth as you paint his nails

he likes all colors. and he doesn’t particularly want his nails to be all one color. plus he likes glitter

just go ahead and give him glitter rainbow nails

roger would like to try acrylics, only because you have had them before and he liked your set. he wants the exact same set you had

of course they don’t last long because he isn’t a fan of how they feel. they are quite pretty, but not for him.

was glad he tried them out though

has had his nails painted many times before, and a few of those times he did it himself

but when you do it, it’s special. and he definitely makes the actual process difficult with his constant flirting

and the way he’s looking at you ?? he’s doing it on purpose

loves wearing your favorite color(s). loves it, even more, when his nails match your outfit

he is another supporter of matching couple nails. he’s the one who suggests it. he paints your nails, you paint his over drinks

or sometimes he’ll just paint yours and massages your hands ( among other things of course ) and let you vent about your day

has had his nails painted before back in wano. izou and kiku did it. back then he definitely hated it. with you ?? oh he loves every second of it.

his eyes light up like christmas trees. you can without a doubt feel the love and admiration radiating off of him

he usually wants red to match his eyeliner or purple to match his nio-dasuki

after you finish his nails he likes to hold your face in his hands. it’s become a habit of his

is also not good at keeping his nails looking good. when they dry, he purposely peels off paint just so you can do it again just for an excuse for you to paint his nails again

he likes how gentle you are with him <3

he loves it :(((

it’s one of the few moments you get to see him

he loves when you paint his nails. he is as still as a rock when you’re doing your craft because he doesn’t want to mess you up

he enjoys darker colors like black, dark red, and dark purple

but he won’t pass up a cute lighter blue, only because you said it matched his dragon form scales

he’ll do any color you put on him really. who’s gonna make fun of kaido for wearing hot pink nail polish and live to see another day ??

makes little requests for designs he thinks would look nice on him. he wants gems babe. the shinier the better, he wants his nails to be seen

how you would spend a snow day with enhypen!

pairing : enha x reader :)

warnings : kissing, mentions of being sick, destroying things, mentions of eating/food

wc : 0.7k again 😭😭

a/n : another one bc my last one did well :)

heeseung - as soon as he sees the snow he fr RUNS out there with you ofc. but he’s so excited and then you’re like “babe we have to put on warmer clothes we’re going to get sick!” and as much as he does want to be sick so he could be pampered by you, he decides a snow day is much more fun. together you build a snowman and he pushes you down a hill with a sled :)). and you like insists on pushing him down but he’s like no bc he doesn’t want you to do the work for him :( and when you get inside he makes ramen and hot chocolate 😭😭 </3

jay - he wakes you up bc he’s made soup and hot chocolate to contrast the cold day :( and when you’re about to go outside to play in the snow he literally puts every single jacket on you known to mankind 😭😭 and you’re like “jay that’s too many jackets! i’m sweating right now!! 😠😠” and he’s like “hun i can’t have you being sick :(“ but in the end, he makes you wear three layers plus snow pants and a hat that covers your ears :). together you make snow angels and (try to) build a snowman ☹️

jake - actually drags you out of bed to play in the snow. and like jake i feel like is the kind of guy to make tiktoks of you two dancing in the snow if your relationship was out he would post it on the enhypen acc but if it wasn’t he probably has a private account he would post it on. but you guys literally spend like an hour making that video because one of you two keeps messing up. then when you get back inside you watch corny christmas movies together and cuddle :)

sunghoon - he’ll take you to a frozen lake and he’s so happy bc he bought skates for the both of you and he like teaches you how to skate properly :((. hes like “y/n-ah you’re so bad at this” and you’re like “i know 😒😒”. and eventually you give up so you both make snow angels and he turns it into competition obvi “y/n my snow angel is way better then yours!” “no sunghoon yours has your boot prints in the legs mine don’t so mine is better 😒😒” and you keep arguing and you know he’ll never give up so you give up and gives you his lil gummy smile ☹️☹️ guys im crying

sunoo - he would get a driver to drive you guys to the city so you can see all like the tree’s with the lights and snow on them 😣😣 and he like writes on the sidewalk “y/n <3 sunoo!” but he know’s it won’t be there for long so he takes a picture of it :((. when you’re admiring the scene he secretly takes a photo of you bc you’re so cute and he wants to remember this moment forever :(. and he asks a random person walking on the street to take a photo of you two and you both make it your wallpapers 😖😖

jungwon - would make hot chocolate for you guys and add like whipped cream and peppermint bits to make it all fancy and things :(( and once you finish it you has to make sure you’re warm by putting you in his jackets 😏😏 and when you’re outside you have a little walk stopping sometimes to throw snowballs at eachother :(. then when you get back inside you two would make gingerbread houses and eat them (maybe idk i find them gross)

niki - he literally doesn’t care about getting sick so he puts on a jacket but you its different he puts you in his warmest jacket! and a sweater underneath obvi. and the whole time you’re throwing snowballs at eachother and running away from eachother and you make a life sized snowman which takes sooo long and when you make the head he has to put it on and he teases you for it obvi “y/n aish you’re so short, here i’ll put it on for you like the best boyfriend i am.” and you’re like whatever 😒 and when you add all the decorations to the snowman he gets a tripod and takes a picture of you two :( then he try’s to knock down the snowman by running into it which fails terribly.

tysm for reading! i appreciate likes, comments, and reposts! have a great day!

The Last Possession

Yeah. That’s me. And yeah, I’m not cheap. You can’t afford to look this good workin’ a nine to five every day. Nah. I’m a freelancer. Call me a life coach for those who need some assistance finding who they really are. Sometimes you just need to have a little push in the right direction, eh? Plus, you know I’m the real deal by just lookin’ at this bod. If I do say so myself, I’m pretty damn hot.

Let’s cut to the chase. I take over the bodies of nerds, has-beens, washed ups, losers, and everyone else in between. Over the course of a few days, normally, I change them into exactly what they wanna be. Cocky, sexy, built himbo bad boys. And they pay top dollar for the privilege.

That’s exactly what Michael asked for. For whatever reason, he was unhappy with his pretty okay life. He was a game designer in Seattle, a pretty decent looking otter boy, and well off. I’m not gonna lie, I was on vacation, so I wasn’t too excited to take a job out here in the Bahamas. But the pay grade was just way too good, and I had a nice little vacancy in my bedroom since my twat of an ex dumped me. “Too many good looking guys coming out of the apartment” apparently.

Pssh, what did that fucker know? I brushed whatever dumb scraps of affection I had for him aside, and took the kid’s offer. The dude bought a ticket and flew out to Nassau, and drove to my holiday place. From the picture, I wasn’t sure what he was looking for. He was pretty good looking already!

My clients are usually the old creepers, absentee fathers, and middle aged former jocks. Median age: 40. So, when this guy showed up at my door, looking like an adorable little gamer guy, I couldn’t hold back my curiosity. I handed him a Mai Tai, and we sat by the pool, where I asked him his reasons for wanting a transformation. His reasoning was super simple, and it took my by surprise.

“I just wanna try something new, I guess.” It was no skin off my back if he didn’t think it through. Even if he did, I had doubts he knew the full extent of what my plans were. I asked him about his life back in Seattle, probing to see if he had a family I had to worry about, a dumb bimbo, or anything like that. Nothing. Just his dog. Just how I liked it. The more we talked, the more I started to like this guy. He just really seemed like a cool dude that was a bit… Disillusioned with his life. There was just something about him. I don’t know.

I asked him when he wanted it all to go down, and to my surprise, he shucked his shirt off and turned his back to me. This dude had a majorly casual vibe about the whole thing. I wasn’t sure how to approach it. After a few seconds of really thinking about it, I thought, “Fuck it” and dove right in.

Now to give you some perspective: this guy was like 6′3, where I was like 5′9. He was super skinny too. This was gonna be a tight squeeze, but not anything I hadn’t done before. I placed my hand on his shoulders, just starting out with a light massage. I smelled a light dash of cologne. It was so cute, he tried to impress me with some expensive Gucci-knockoff he found at Kohl’s. But, as my hands started to knead harder, and they began to sink underneath his pasty white skin, I thought about the others I had changed.

They hadn’t gone the extra mile to even put on deodorant. I’m not talking about that sexy, musky smell that I gladly add to my clients charge-free. They were stinking like the geriatric ward, or like they just got back from a burger-flipping job. All they cared about was getting me in, and becoming something else. But this dude… Michael… He actually thought about me, and my experience throughout the entire thing. It was a little thing, but it was more than anyone else had done for me…

I had sank into him at a forearm’s length. Crossing my legs around his waist, I could hear him moan a bit. I nibbled on his ear, letting my hot breath caress him, allowing him to shudder. For the first time in a possession, I smiled. This wasn’t work, this was pleasure. I felt my arms slip into place, fingers into his own as a well-fitted glove. I brought his hand to his cheek, caressing it, sticking a finger into his mouth, letting it roll onto his lips.

I was sinking ever faster into his body, his warming skin inviting more of me into him. My built, muscular body effortlessly crept inch by inch into his being, taking up every available ounce of space. Through me, his hands explored his body, stroking and prodding everywhere. I had almost all of me within him. By the end, all that was left was my head, protruding from the back of his neck. A lot of guys ask me what it feels like at this point. Imagine being submerged in a hot tub filled with heavy jello. That’s the only way I can describe it. Everything is slick, tight, compressed, yet extremely buoyant… This time was that much more intense, as I had gone the extra mile to really give him a ride. You know, let him go out with a bang.

I slowly pressed my forehead against the back of his head, feeling his hard skull give way to the same dense, gelatinous feeling that surrounded the rest of me. It takes a minute for me to adjust myself within him before I can actually see out of his eyes, but that first breath… Damn. It’s always exhilarating. I let the humid, hot air of the Caribbean into my lungs, and opened my eyes to the bright, tropical sun. Michael, for all intent and purpose, was relatively gone. Well, normally he would be.

At this point in the possession, I get the memories and thoughts of the host, and usually I just wipe it clean, for the sake of a clean slate. Though, this time, as his memories flooded me, I knew everything about him. He was a good kid. Like, unbelievably so. He cared about others, and not an ounce about himself. Yet, this deep-seeded insecurity he fostered… It actually broke my heart a bit.

Lounging on that pool-lounge, at that beachside Bahamanian mansion, I decided this was my final possession. And this was gonna be the crown jewel. My magnum opus. Maybe it was for selfish reasons, but I couldn’t let this one go. He’d be mine. I mean after all, what more of a prize is there than my smokin’ hot ass?

I spent days in his body, reversing the clock, rewiring his brain, encoding his genetics. It was like shopping for a christmas gift for myself! He’d be just as cocky as I was, a show off to everyone he’d meet. Sexy, lean muscles underneath a perfectly sunkissed skin, painted with tattoos. From his mesmerizing frost-green eyes, to his gigantic, size 16 feet; this 6′3 God among men was going to be a blast to finally meet.

The last day, laying on the pool lounge where it all began, I thought about the last few tweaks. You know, the pierced ears & cock, finger tattoos, finishing up his background, changing his vocal range, making him an alpha top… I had thought long and hard about it over the transformation, and I had decided it was time. This lovable goofball would love me, and I’d love him back. As I pulled myself from his bronzed body, I left his consciousness intact. He was still him underneath it all. He remembered everything. He knew what it was like to have me within him. By the time my exhausted, sweaty body was finally detached from him, he had already opened his eyes for the first time.

He brought his inked hands to his face, smirking a smug grin. I watched him from the cement ground, flexing and kissing his biceps. Our eyes met, and the alpha bravado I had programmed oozed out of him. Yet… I could see Michael in his eyes. He pulled me into a kiss, gentle at first, then passionate and fiery. That mouthwatering musk poured into my nostrils, just as I wanted it to. I tasted that wintergreen tic-tac breath of his, just as I had intended. He groped me and bit my tongue, smiling at me. I had never been so into a guy before.

I knew that Michael would be proud of who he is now. He is truly experiencing something new. He also had a stud by his side to experience it with alongside him. I enjoyed every minute of his invading tongue in my mouth, of his strong fingers tenderly wrapped around my neck. He was perfect. This was perfect. Besides, the best Christmas gift came as he picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. A sizable, delicious, musky, uncut package waited for me to unwrap it.

TheWertsearch shipping chart

Ver. 1, Act 5.1

Let's get into it!

I've included every Player and a couple of wildcards. I thought about adding minor characters like the Guardians and Exiles, but we don't know too much about their dynamics yet. For what it's worth, I think the first three Exiles would be a cute triad, and might add WQ when we've seen more of her. I don't really ship any of the Guardians, since we know next to nothing about their personalities.

I'm going to mostly focus on potential dynamics. There aren't many canon ships in here, but hopefully that'll change as we move through the comic, because I honestly got pretty invested in some of these while working on this post. Let's dive in!

Hearts

Rose/Kanaya is an obvious lock. I've talked about it before, and my thoughts haven't really changed, so I won't repeat myself here. Their dynamic is great, and it's even better now that we know Kanaya used to idolize Rose. I can't wait to see them talk that one out. At this point, I'm 100% convinced that they should be a couple, and about 90% convinced that it's going to happen in canon. Bring on the #RosemarySweep!

John/Karkat is an intriguing prospect. John's optimism is exactly what a sourpuss like Karkat needs, and their conversations are clearly having a positive effect on him. Conversely, Karkat's decisive leadership style might, in time, rub off on John. The two complement each other well - and since it's clear that Karkat doesn't really hate John, I think they're well-placed for a red romance, rather than a black one.

Karkat/Nepeta has potential. Nepeta clearly sees something in him, and I don't think it's just the 'cat' in his name. They both have a romantic streak, although neither of them seems all that experienced with (concupiscent) romance. I don't know, I just think it might be cute! I could also envision a minor moirallegiance between them. Karkat isn't that hot-tempered, but chilling out with Nepeta and bouncing ships off each others' heads might help him let off some steam.

Tavros/Gamzee would be pretty cute. Tavros is used to being Vriska's punching bag - and, more broadly, he's used to conversations where you're supposed to be punching. Gamzee, too, is frequently insulted, even by people who call themselves his friends. Bring these two trolls together, though, and Alternia's antagonistic social norms completely disappear. They're a breath of fresh air, and I think they deserve a quiet corner in the Veil to play Fiduspawn together.

Terezi/Vriska would make a great power couple, and I want to see them take on the world together - but I don't see it happening any time soon. They both have a lot of growing to do - and besides, I think another quadrant is in the cards first.

Jack/Droog. Yes, really. This one isn't complex, I just think they'd be funny together. Plus, a hot-blooded, stab happy gangster pairs perfectly with a stone-cold, calculating partner. It's like cookies and cream!

Dave/Jade is another one I've discussed before. Jade is playfully, authentically herself, and Dave, who's still treating life like a bit he needs to commit to, might have something to learn from her. There's a real person behind that persona, and Jade likes him.

I'm a Jade/Rose truther - but there's not much to report on this, since the game seems intent on keeping them from interacting much. Hopefully Act 5.2 will see them working together in the Medium, and we can really shine a light on this dynamic.

Gamzee/Eridan was initially a joke ship. Eridan wants a matesprit, but he'd only date a highblood, and Gamzee's the only one without that quadrant filled, so Eridan better learn to ride a unicycle. Except... weirdly enough, it sort of works? Unlike Feferi, Gamzee wouldn't be stressed out by being around Eridan - and despite what you might expect, Eridan doesn't even seem to dislike Gamzee. He opened up to him about Feferi, at least a little - and even slammed a Faygo when Gamzee suggested it. When talking to Gamzee, Eridan wouldn't be able to dance around the point, like he was doing with Feferi and Kanaya. Gamzee wouldn't pick on his 'hints', so he'd have to resort to direct, open communication, which might be good for him. Plus - you can say a lot of things about Eridan, but he sure ain't a quitter. Gamzee's Sopor addiction would annoy the hell out of him, and there's a decent chance he might actually be able to annoy him off the stuff. If we go with the moirallegiance angle, Gamzee would probably leave Eridan too baffled to give into any Alternian bloodlust - and any overblown genocide plans would fly right over Gamzee's head. Wow, this really did start as a joke, but I'm beginning to convince myself. I... guess we'll see what happens?

Diamonds

I'm convinced Kanaya -> Terezi would work. Terezi is violent and dangerous - but unlike Vriska, her violence takes the form of mind games. Kanaya is good at mind games, and I think she'd make an excellent, Machiavellian moirail for Terezi, using ConversationWithAVeryStupidGirl.txt-style rhetorical traps to trick her into good behavior. She could even collaborate with her future girlfriend, Rose, to design clever ways to keep Terezi from getting more of her friends killed. And you know Terezi would love it.

That leaves Vriska unattended. We can't have that, so it's time to make a case for Feferi -> Vriska. I think Feferi would make a lot more progress with Vriska than she ever did with Eridan. The biggest problem with Eridan was that he was insincere - he wasn't honest about his proclivities or intentions, and Feferi was working her ass off just to figure out what he was thinking. By contrast, Vriska is extremely sincere about her emotions - I don't think she can fake a feeling. Feferi will know exactly what she's getting with Vriska, because Vriska will constantly tell her. Feferi could pacify Vriska, I'm sure of it. She's cheerful, persistent, physically powerful, immune to Vriska's psionics, and has killed thousands to feed her lusus. Feferi understands Vriska.

Sollux <--> Aradia is a potential bidirectional moirallegiance. They both have their violent moods, and they know each other well enough to recognize and help each other through them. Aradia could potentially use her necromancy to get the soon-to-be-dead out of Sollux's head - and he might be able to remove Aradia's violent impulses entirely, using his technical know-how to revert Equius' changes and turn her body into a true reflection of her living self. Honestly, they still have a shot at hearts, too - but I think diamonds is the way to go for now.

Feferi -> Equius might work - he'd have to listen to a violet-blood. Plus, spending time with the princess might help Equius learn that the Empire is bullshitting him about the hemospectrum. After all, she's at the top of the totem pole - and yet, she's against a lot of what the Empire stands for. What gives?

Spades

Jack\Lord English was originally just a joke, but I've decided to start shipping it earnestly for shits and giggles - especially since we've learned about kismesissitude, a quadrant they fit perfectly into. Maybe there's more than one reason that Slick was so single-minded about catching the guy.

To be honest, Vriska\Terezi is basically inevitable. There's no way they peacefully talked it out during the session, and now they're stuck on a tiny meteor together. These are resourceful girls - they're probably already plotting their next moves, and they'd be fools not to factor each other into whatever plans they're making. They will come to blows, and then they'll realize how much they're enjoying the experience. I think this will be our first truly balanced kismesissitude, and I'm very interested in seeing where the chips fall.

Clubs

Aradia -> Vriska/Tavros. Someone needs to keep these two apart. Robot!Aradia doesn't have the ideal temperament for auspisticism, but things are far from ideal at this point. She's Tavros' old FLARP teammate, and even in her current state, she's still invested in his well-being. This might also be a way for Aradia to reconcile with Tavros, since it doesn't seem like they've spoken much since they died. What does Tavros think of this new Aradia, and will his opinion change if she starts to intercede against Vriska on his behalf? I want to find out.

Feferi -> Equius/Aradia. This one would be so easy. All Feferi would need to do is tell Equius to back the fuck off, and he'd be obliged to obey. I don't like the hemospectrum, but if we're stuck with it for now, let's at least use it for good, hm?

That's it! It was the first shipping chart I've ever made, and I had a lot of fun with it. I'll be doing this again the next time we 'finish' an Act, and it'll be interesting to see how this evolves over time.

See you next time, for the beginning of Act 5.2!

Seasoned Romance: A Great NaNoWriMo Project

Romance is a genre that everyone can write, no matter what other people may think! NaNo Participant Stella Fosse gives us advice on writing seasoned romance. Years ago, I read an article by a Romance author in her fifties advising her sister Romance writers that if they wanted to be published, they should create characters in their twenties. Shades of the Bronte sisters, forced to take male pen names! Fortunately, times have changed. With so many Romance readers past midlife, publishers have caught on and created a category called “Seasoned Romance.”

The Personal is Political Ageism is not exactly news to anyone over fifty. And studies have shown that a positive attitude about aging helps us live longer and healthier. Telling stories about the vivid lives of people our age is essential. If we want to change the cultural narrative, we are the ones to do it.

Why Seasoned Romance? By now, we have lived the role of romance character several times. We have known all kinds of people and witnessed their romantic fortunes. Autofiction was made for us: Mixing people, situations, and settings can lead to fascinating Romance. Plus, you get to write about sex. And Romance novels tend to be on the short side—perfect for NaNoWriMo. Not to mention, Romance sells a lot—more than Mystery and Science Fiction combined. Sex, money, and dishing your exes: what’s not to like?

How to Write Romance? Not every story that includes romance is a “Romance.” The genre expectations look like this:

Plot: The main plot in a genre Romance is the romance itself. There is an external plot—which would be the main plot in any other novel. But in a Romance, the back-and-forth in the relationship drives the story.

Characters: Each of the two main characters has a character flaw that makes them ambivalent about getting involved. They may have conflicts in goals and values (like the bookstore owner and the chain bookstore developer in “You’ve Got Mail”). And each main character has a sidekick—a confidante to share hopes and fears about the relationship.

Three Act Structure: Here’s a typical setup for a Romance novel.

Act One: Establish the lives of each main character before they meet. Engineer the meeting (the “meet cute”). Show the attraction and the conflict between the characters. Create an external situation that keeps them in each other’s lives throughout the story.

Act Two: Lots of ambivalence. The characters take turns chasing and running away. The external plot adds complexity. The sidekicks weigh in, to encourage or discourage the liaison. What looks like a final breakup occurs at the end of this act.

Act Three: Much soul-searching, resulting in each main character owning and resolving their character flaws. They bridge differences in goals and values, enjoy their mutual attraction (at mild, moderate, or spicy levels of heat), and begin a committed relationship.

Happy-Ever-After (or Happy-for-Now): For decades, Romance novels were expected to end with a big wedding. A Romance novel still must end with the main characters happily together. Often there is an epilogue, where we see the happy characters years after the dénouement.

But wait—I hear you say: Isn’t that awfully formulaic? Sure, but so is a sonnet. Structure can be liberating.

Victorians were scandalized by early Romance novels because they highlighted female passion. Yet the genre became the stereotyped province of thin, young, white, able-bodied heroines. More recently, it’s broadened to include stories about LGBTQ+ characters, polyamorous characters, and characters of color (Stacey Abrams writes Romance under the pen name Selena Montgomery). And with the advent of Seasoned Romance, we Writers of a Certain Age can tell vivid stories about characters like us.

Stella Fosse writes stories of vibrant women and teaches about writing boldly after midlife. Her books include:

Aphrodite’s Pen: The Power of Writing Erotica after Midlife (North Atlantic Books)

A story collection, The Erotic Pandemic Ball: Tales of Love in Lockdown

And her debut novel at age 68, Brilliant Charming Bastard

She has taught romance writing through Secure Senior Connections. Stella blogs at www.stellafosse.com. Follow her on Facebook, Twitter , LinkedIn, and Instagram. Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash

*̩̩̥͙　-•̩̩͙-ˏˋ⋆ Peachy Kisses Gshade ⋆ˊˎ-•̩̩͙-　*̩̩̥͙

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ ITS FINALLY HERE!!

I have been secretly play testing this gshade preset over on my YouTube Channel for the past month now and the overwhelming amount of love and demand I had for this to release is so humbling! So here it is. I want to get into the backstory of how this came to be, I was never good at shaders, however I could never find the one that was bright enough, green enough, easy for gameplay, but also good for screenshots and machinimas! After months of trying over 20+ different reshades and then making the switch over to gshade. I finally found out what I liked and disliked in a shader preset. Plus many nights of headache over lighting issues...Thus the birth of Peachy Kisses!

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ Disclaimer:

This gshade preset is my very first one and I am no a pro at making these. I just wanted to create one that is simple, easy on the eyes, good for screenshots and gameplay that won’t kill your PC! It may not work for you since each PC is different. If you do run into any difficulties then please message me and I will try my best to help you.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ Recommendation:

I recommend you turn off the Ambient Light, Magic Boom, and all the DOF settings for CAS so it won’t blind your eyes :)

But for gameplay you can keep Ambient light on since it just adds extra cuteness to the game. Also, all of those that I mentioned have keybindings/toggle buttons on them so you don’t have to open the menu every time!

what's the wisest thing to invest on as a student? i wanna treat myself but i want to be prudent and look out for my future self

Invest in your self care! That’s literally the most important investment you can have during your academic years. If you imagine your future self being happy, wealthy, and well taken care of then you need to start now. Being prudent is just a scam they tell us so that we can work hard and be unhappy. Part of being a successful student is being happy and in a good mental/physical space so that you can focus on studying and getting good grades and subsequently be able to create wealth in the future. I’m not saying blow all your money, but worry less about “saving” or being “frugal” because you have to believe that your loans and all financial worries will be taken care of so you don’t actually have to worry. I probably spend $3-4k a month on self care treatments and my classmates are always so shocked because we’re supposed to be “broke/struggling med school student.” That may be their story but it’s not mine and I don’t want to claim that. Treat yourself and don’t feel guilty about it! You need your pampering and rest now, school is stressful af so don’t buy into that false struggle narrative. Here are some really great, relaxing self care rituals I recommend.

Monthly professional massages. This helped so much with my chronic piriformis/low back pain. I add the cupping and lymphatic drainage and feel like I’m in my teenage body again 😂

Nail salon twice a month. Mani/pedi unless it’s winter then maybe I’ll just do manicures

Cryotherapy a few times a month. This is something new I started this year. It’s soooo good for circulation and post workout soreness

Professional facials once a month. Get a skin consult and they will help assess and tailor your skincare routine

Eyelash extensions every 2-3 weeks. Another new treatment I started this year. It’s soooo much better than having to glue on fakes and actually look so natural and pretty. Makes me feel super feminine and I get compliments all the time

Brow threading and tinting every 2-3 weeks, brow lamination once every 2 months. My brows feel so soft and look so sexy afterwards

Laser hair removal. My 🐱 is so cute afterwards and it’s much quicker than waxing, lasts longer, and hurts a lot less. Plus better for your sensitive skin down there and lessens the impact of hyperpigmentation. Most places allow you to pay in monthly installments

Laserlipo. I started doing laserlipo to tone my arms (always been self conscious about them) at the same place I get my laser hair removal. Not gunna lie it’s pretty pricey ($6k for the treatment package) but I’m already seeing results and I haven’t even finished the treatment package yet. I hear it’s better for your body than coolsculpting.

Monthly or bi-monthly solo dinners. This has been my favorite self care implementation so far. It’s so empowering and relaxing going to an upscale restaurant to take yourself out to dinner. It’s such a great way to freestyle. I normally pick a different restaurant each time and most times I end up not having to pay for my dinner because I met someone. Even if you don’t meet someone the goal is to have fun with yourself and enjoy your own company. Meeting someone is just a bonus

𝕯𝖎𝖑𝖚𝖈

he’s usually pretty good at keeping his hair out of the way but when he comes home from a long night of being Batman, sometimes mans jus wants to go to bed and who could blame him

certainly not you

not when he wakes up with his hair a complete and utter mess of red velvet cowlicks aaaaahh

it’s my personal hc that Diluc actually has like. leftover baby face. which he pretends not to notice about himself but he does

like sure he acts mature it’s the trauma but he’s got the face of an angel baby and when his hair is messy and down, his more boyish charm is brought to light hehe

he wakes up a little grumpy bc of his hair bein all up in his face and he bats at it spluttering like damn he’s not even fully conscious and the day is already doin him a bamboozle

your cooing is the first sweet sound in his ears tho and your fingers carding through his hair are the first sweet touch he feels which is always a win in Diluc’s book

“sleep well?” you ask, your hands cradling his face

“well enough i suppose… *yawn *i always sleep better with you, sweetheart” he replied all groggy, “you… feel nice.” he adds, learning into your palm and his cheek smushes uwu

sleepy Diluc = no filter Diluc and he says the sweetest things

but only for a little while bc his own mushiness wakes him up (plus your giggling) as he awkwardly leans back and coughs, tryna hide in his mane and hope the blush on his cheeks jus blends in w the rest of the red

it does actually but that jus makes it cuter

𝕬𝖑𝖇𝖊𝖉𝖔

definitely the type to jus go to bed still wearing the same clothes he wore earlier because all he knows is alchemy, sleep, repeat

you’ve done a tremendous service in setting up a pretty decent nighttime routine for him which is basically jus making him use all the same products n things you use bc he already likes watching you use them so he doesn’t mind recreating the routine himself, it makes him think of you :) especially bc you’re likely to be asleep by the time he gets back from the lab

on his lazier nights tho, when he jus wants to go to bed and curl up next to you, he wakes up with messy braids that half the time aren’t even tied together in the back anymore and his bangs are pointing to the North Star lmao

many of those who are lucky enough to even see Albedo around Mondstadt will confirm that he is, in fact, beautiful to look at. like art. he’s a masterpiece.

and yknow what he’s still a masterpiece with his bangs pointing to the North Stare nodnod

he doesn’t understand why you’re giggling at him but he smiles when he feels you press a kiss on his exposed forehead ALBEDOEXPOSEDFOREHEADAGENDAALBEDOEXPOSEDFOREHEADAGENDAALBEDOEXPOSEDFOREHEADAGENDA

“is something funny?” he asks, keeping his forehead against yours

“you.”

“me?”

“mhm. your hair’s a mess- it’s cute!”

“i-i see… well, i’m glad you find it so endearing.”

he’s not the self conscious type normally but even Albedo can’t help wanting to look just a tiny bit more presentable for you as his hands start trying to fix his hair, only for his fingers to get intertwined with yours as you stop him

��i’ll do it. i know you secretly want me to every morning.”

“you know me too well, love. or maybe this was all an experiment to get you to do my hair for me forever.”

“hm… maybe.”

𝖃𝖎𝖆𝖔

little meow meow doesn’t pay much attention to his appearance/hair bc yknow. karmic debt n demon slaying keep him pretty occupied

probs can’t even fathom the idea of bedhead bc mans don’t sleep hdfghjfksdfgjdjshjd im in spain but the s is silent

as his s.o, you have the profoundly unique ability to coax him into proper resting habits

it took him awhile before he was able to sleep in your bed w you but it’s become his sanctuary uwu if he feels like treating himself he’ll initiate cuddles

little spoon Xiao 🤝 bedhead Xiao like his short hair sticks up in all sorts of angles btwn getting squished in your arms, the bed n lots of pillows

he wakes up lookin like a wreck but he’s actually the most well rested he’s ever been in 2000 years wow

whines when you scoot away to go to the bathroom all wait where are you going pls don’t leave like he sits up n really contemplates following you bc he’s so attached to your presence, he doesn’t like being w/o you

waits patiently but grabs you n sets you on his lap the moment you’re back

melts under your touch as you run your fingers through his hair, mostly bc you know he loves scalp massages, but also in a halfhearted effort to “fix” his bedhead

“why’d you stop?” he asks quietly n you sigh “i think your bedhead is unfixable, but it’s okay. you’re still my pretty boy.”

“bedhead…? is that some mortal insult?” “what- no?”

you show him his hair with a nearby handheld mirror pushes you on the bed n covers your face with a pillow bc you were giggling at his surprised reaction

“Xiao!” you whine under the pillow “it’s fine! everyone gets bedhead!” “hmph. i’m ashamed you saw me in such a state.” “you’re still as cute as a button, i promise!” “……………………………promise?” “mhm!” “…okay.”

𝕶𝖆𝖊𝖞𝖆

doesn’t get bedhead. he’s Kaeya L’oreal commercial headass Alberich.

teases you for y o u r bedhead bc he’s a menace to society

the 2 of you probs end up w his hair in both yalls mouths

has yelped in the middle of the night from either of you tossing n turning in bed n his hair getting caught as a result

“as much as i love when you pull my hair in bed, this is becoming detrimental to my health” “then perish”

somehow convinces you to help him braid his hair so it doesn’t bother either of you anymore when you’re tryna sleep

ends up making him too powerful bc Kaeya w wavy hair? i am passing away.

maybe if he ever cuts his hair short then it would look messy when he wakes up n he kinda panics like wait this wasn’t part of the deal

has to sit through all your teasing as retribution for all the times he teased you for your bedhead, this is The Way

puts up w it all bc he loves any attention from you he even likes when you pull his hair better when it’s short oop

How a boy shows his love

pairing: gn!reader x Shousuke Komi

genre:Fluff

Warning: Neck kisses/hickeys!

Summary: There are many ways that people show their love in many different and many weird ways at that and Shousuke is …one of them.

Today is a calming and relaxing day for Shousuke (for once) and what’s makes it even better;you’re here with him all alone in his room.Days like these are rare,where no one would brother the either of you.

Shousuke would usually be doing something that seems impossible for just one person with little experience from anyone to Master, but alas this is Shousuke after all.

At the moment through he seem to be doing something that doesn’t seem that impressive on his part, but rather on yours.

That impressive thing is; SHOUSUKE LAYING ON YOUR CHEST WHILE HE LET’S YOU PET HIS HAIR!!!…Truly something of this level should get an reward for such a impossible achievement known to men kind.

For Shousuke on the other hand;it’s completely heaven for him.He’ll never admit this ,but he loves when you pet his hair and he gets to feel your heart beat as well.(Plus he does purr a little to add to that.P.S another thing he would never admit to.)

Just as Shousuke was about to doe’s off to sleep his phone beep repeatedly.At first Shousuke didn’t care to look, but as the ringing went on he did start to get grumpy about it.

Being the generous lover you are,you took Shousuke phone and look who was texting him;and to no surprise,Hitomi.Also Hitomi.

Hitomi

Heeeeeey Shousuke,wanna hangout today?! I just saw this cool new cafe at the street corner! It will be so FUN,come on.I’ll invite Y/N if you come along~~~~We can get smoothies!!And you and Y/N can SHARE one…..;)

When you finish reading one of the hundredth of the message,you couldn’t help but feel really bad for Shousuke.(Yes.you know that Shousuke suffers of the hands of Hitomi,you do see it first hand.But when it happens constantly you can’t help but feel a little worried. Especially if Hitomi gets the police just to drag Shousuke out of the house again.)

“It’s Hitomi.She want us to go to this new cafe and she is apparently trying to bride you as well;by using me as bait.” You signed of the silly girl antics of trying to get you and Shousuke on a date.(Despite her not knowing that you and Shousuke had been dating for months now.)

Shousuke grumbled and plopped his head back on to your chest and after about ten seconds,he started to rub his head back and forth as a way to tell you, ‘Keep scratching my hair!’

As quiet as it was,you knew Shousuke wanted something but didn’t want to say anything to make things awkward.You can tell when he wants something or the weird habits he has.

Even thought it has been months and Shousuke has been better at opening his feelings and telling in his own way how he feel;there are still times where he feel a bit…strange to ask for certain things.

So you stop petting his hair, (Shousuke was about to gate at you) gently grab his face and you pull him towards yourself.

You and Shousuke stare at eachother for a few seconds lost into the other gaze.Shousuke turned his eyes to your lips and you slowly started to lean in.

The kiss was slow and gently like cute puppy kisses,as the kissing went on it gotten longer and longer and Shousuke got more comfortable during it.

You open your mouth a little bit and he slipped his tongue inside yours.The more and more passionate it has became after the time passes.

You pulled Shousuke back lightly so you can caught your breath.The sound that can be heard in the room was you and his panting.

Shousuke stared into your eyes before he moved his sight to your neck,he gently went for your neck and stick his tongue out and big a long lick along the side of your neck as you gasp out of surprise.

It wasn’t the first time that Shousuke has done this.When he gets comfortable enough and knows that you’re ok with this,than he would and will go for it.

The more time that he went at it the more the both of you got into it.Shousuke was putting spots all over your neck and if it’s sensitive than be ready to hide your groans.

You and Shousuke was in your own little world,you both didn’t hear the phone,not the birds,not the car,not the passing by people outside,and unfortunately not the door that was opening.

Before you and Shousuke can proceed what happened you heard a very loud screech from someone that was at the door….Shuoko.It was Shuoko-KOMI-SAN.Shousuke big sister!!!

Shousuke whip his head up just in time to see Shuoko run out of his room,slamming the door behind her.Could you blame her though:You have you collar pulled down,Shousuke is on top of you,a hand over your hand mouth,and he was holding your wrist to the bed.Of course Shuoko would have ran out,especially since she has social anxiety.

The awkward since that went after that when Shuoko screamed and slammed the door.”should we go after her…?” You asked hesitantly.

“No.” Is all what Shousuke said.He got up,locked the door, went back to pin you down to the bed,and to continue what he was doing before hand.

“S-Shousuke!?” You honestly cant deal with this guys sometimes.First he acts all shy, but when he knows that your comfortable he totally flips and does whatever he wants.

Now the question is,how do you get Shousuke to stop making your neck look like a some wild animal attack you; also on top of that,having Shuoko not having a indispensable crisis….What terrible trouble you gotten yourself into!?

🜾🜅🝠🝈🜼🝤🜸| (• ◡•)|𝔹𝕠𝕟𝕦𝕤 𝕤𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖 | (• ◡•)|🜈🜘🜋🜘🜉🝳

You were finally was able to get Shousuke off of you.It’s not like you hate when he shows his love to you nor does he try’s to force you to do things when you clearly don’t want to do them.

Shousuke knew that Shuoko can be a big girl and learn that sometimes couples do things like this.(Not all, but some.) So here you both are; your still laying on your back with Shousuke on top of you.

You sighed and said, “ we should go and comfortable Shuoko before she has trauma from seeing that.” You knew by know Shuoko is panicking if she should go apologize or not talk about at all.

“She will be fine.” Shousuke said blankly. He did show that he has no interest to deal with his big sister,she’ll get over it,at some point…

You were about to sigh at your boyfriend uncaring personality until you heard something from Shousuke window.

“COME OUT RiGHT NOW OR ELES!!” That’s right…that was Hitomi voice.It also sounds like she using a microphone.Shousuke is really annoyed now.First Shuoko,than Hitomi.Why can’t he just have some peace and quiet with his lover???

It seems the nice relaxing day for you and Shousuke are over unfortunately.

Hello!💖 For the prompt list, may I request #1 or #30 (or both!) with Ran Haitani or Mikey (which ever one is okay!) Love ya!!💖💖💖

1 "But it's you, you're the one that I want" + 30 "Find another one cause they belong to me" - fluff with Mikey and Ran !

Note: I can do both, don't worry ! I just only put one of the line for Ran, I hope you don't mind but I was kinda stuck. Love you too 🤍 Thank you for asking ! From this

Mikey

You were supposed to meet up with Mikey after his meeting with captains and waiting for him was agony. You were bored as hell and nothing comes to your mind to entertain you before Chifuyu shows up. Yes, it was a “captain only” meeting so he had to wait for Takemichi too. In the end, he was as bored as you and honestly you even started to count how many times he sighs.

“That’s like, the eleventh time in three minutes I swear to god Chifuyu-”

“Not my fault they’re taking forever !” He defends himself. “Plus you’re doing it as much as me.”

Thinking about what you should do or at least talk about while waiting, you remember the last chapter of a manga you two read.

"Hey, the last chapter of xxxx was dramatic as hell, right ?"

He literally chuckles so hard you thought he was choking on his own saliva.

"For sure, I couldn't stop laughing," he adds, looking at you with a cute smile.

As Mikey walked out of the room with his men in his tracks, the first thing he saw was you being ridiculous with Chifuyu. You two were recreating the last scene way too seriously. Chifuyu tries to catch both your hands but you push him away way too dramatically.

"But it's you y/n ! You're the one I want !" Quotes the blond boy, making your lover's ears ring. What the actual fuck ?

In a second, Mikey was next to you, holding you with his eyebrows furrowed to Chifuyu. Probably ready to kill him, making the poor boy sweat.

"They belong to me, find another one," Mikey was dead serious here.

"I'm just kidding," he felt forced to defend his case before something happened to him. A tense smile on the lips.

Holding Mikey back, you felt his muscles relax under your touch.

"You guys take forever !" You sulk, taking all Mikey's attention to you to Chifuyu's safety. Kissing your temple to excuse himself, he just wanted to spend the rest of the day with you now, just to be sure that Chifuyu was really joking. He couldn't live without you after all.

Ran

Ran was patiently watching you and Rindou playing around with his legs crossed like an old mother. You two being in the same class and so spending lots of your time together makes him feel like a third wheel sometimes. He was still happy to see that dating him didn't kill your friendship with his brother. Rindou was being so natural and goofy with you, it was just a win-win situation for Ran. He still has to admit that you two look like 13 years old kids to run around the park like this but in the end who cares ?

Apparently the bunch of guys on the other side of the park did. Ran was looking at them for a moment now, how they laugh at Rindou's behavior or the way one of them follows you a bit too close to his liking. Not that he would get up or do anything, as long as he doesn't move he's safe.

On the other hand, you and Rindou were kinda bothered. The group in front of you was some people from your school that you don't really like and them following you here was annoying. Mostly because they placed a bet on you going out with one of them like you weren't already taken. Not that they knew it tho.

Rolling his eyes, Rindou sends them a killer gaze before deciding to leave. Agreeing happily, you walk to get back your jacket that was laying on the floor cause you were too hot earlier, someone picked it up for you before you could do it yourself. Looking up, it was one of your classmates - that you don’t necessarily like - smiling at you. Taking your jacket with a forced smile and a small thank you, you felt the urge to go back to your friends before he speaks but, unfortunately, he gripped your arm before you could. Closing your eyes in clear bother, you let go a sigh through your nose.

“Say, can you go on a date with me ?” the guy bluntly said, without any shame.

“No, thanks, I’m not interested-”

“Oh come on !” he insisted, pulling you to him. “It’s not like anyone would date you anyway-” It was his turn to be cut off but more brutally. Ran was standing behind you, a lazy but scary smile and just hit the poor no man’s arm with his baton. He growls at the sudden pain while Ran hugs your waist to keep you safe. Holding his baton in front of his face, he has to admit that he really wanted to knock him out after what he just said to you, but instead he contained himself and decided to hurt his ego.

“Sorry man, you have to find another one ‘cause they belong to me,” Ran says with a smile, making your heart flutter.

I know im posting like everything is fine cause there's nothing much to do, but I hope everyone is safe. I think we all know what is happening in Ukraine and Europe rn and I hope you and your family are safe.

I hope you liked it !

Hello! How is your day? So... A long time ago, I released people like sweaters? How can you blame them????? They’re so pretty, and I LOVE MAKING THEM tbh, I just didn’t want to over saturate my page with so many sweaters 🤭. Today we broke that, and I’m sharing with you a new one (plus a skirt to go with it). I started making this thing like since last year? But I didn’t feel ok with it, that was until I remove the hands, and let me tell you, it’s super cute now! And I made a skirt too! It has some pretty colors, I hope you like it!

Also, because it was taylor swift’s birthday recently I wanted to add something inspired by her 💕.

Please don’t forget to tag me if you use anything ❤️.

Later that night at the bar it was once again so packed it was getting hard to see, the old patrons were lucky enough their seats were already taken or else they’d have to wait outside for some space. Beatrice walked back and forth across the bar, every now and again walking part Roosters table where they shared a quick hand touch, just the softest brush of knuckles since they couldn’t do more than that while at the bar.

Rooster kept his eyes on her as she walked around, making sure she’d be safe with so many new people in the bar, people he had never met before. And yes, some of them were new recruits but he still had no idea who they were in reality, the last thing he wanted was for Beatrice to be uncomfortable because of the new patrons.

He does, however, smile her way when she turns to look at him from across the bar, her hands busy with the tray. He just follows her with his eyes, enjoying how her cheeks turned red and she skittered away back to Penny, asking for a refill. Nat, who sat next to Rooster, just laughed quietly, “My my, what a simp.”

Rooster blinks, turning back to her, “I’m sorry?”

“I don’t know, are you?” she retorts, snorting at his confused look, “I’m just saying, Rooster, that you are just looking at Beatrice like a lost puppy.” and her eyebrow raises after that, “It’s cute, and very amusing. Everyone here just waits for you to lose track of the conversation because you are too busy staring at Beatrice.”

“She’s my wife.” and his heart shuddered every time he said that outloud, “I like staring at her.” he proceeds to turn his head back to where Beatrice was, seeing she was talking to Penny, “Plus there’s a lot of new people lately,I just want to make sure she’s safe.”

“She can handle herself,” Nat adds, “You did say she punched her ex.”

Bradley’s proud laugh couldn’t be stopped after Nat remembers that time. Her ex…what a fucking prick, Rooster was still extremely annoyed by that man, which he shouldn’t be because he didn’t think he’d bother them again, hopefully…if he did the deal with Shells was still up. “I know, but still.” it was in his nature to make sure Bea felt safe, he wanted to do it. Not because it was his ‘job’ as her partner to do so, but because he cared about her and she’s been hurt so much.

Phoenix leans on a hand, watching her tall friend smile back at the brunette with her own face swimming with amusement, “You two are painfully adorable.” she mutters, bringing the glass of water to her lips.

“So are you and Umberto.” Nat chokes on the cold drink, trying to hold back the dribble by slapping a hand over her mouth, coughing dryly with her eyes widening. The same shocked eyes turned to Rooster, who just arched both of his eyebrows up with a very pleased smirk, crossing his arms over the table, “What? You two are.”

“What’s happening?” Fanboy asks after returning from the pool game with Payback and Hangman in tow, “Who’s what?”

“Nat and Umberto, remember Bea’s cousin?” Nat looked ready to kill him. Painfully and slowly, “When we visited Palermo for our honeymoon we met with Umberto, his parents and his brother, and you know he was really happy after returning from Cali.” and he turns his eyes, much like the cat that just lapped the cream, to Nat. The female pilot just narrowed her own gaze at him, still coughing quietly, trying to regain her bearings.

And now the attention was on Nat and not on Rooster, who looked back to where Beatrice was, seeing she was approaching another table, this time with one girl sitting alone. They met eyes again, Beatrice’s smile widened and she mouthed a ‘stop it’ before biting her lower lip. He just offered her an innocent shrug and a furrowed brow as if to say ‘who,me?’

Beatrice rolled her eyes with a gentle shake of her head, then turned her gaze to the woman, “Hello, how can I- oh.” that was the girl from last time! What was her name? Jane, Joy…Jessie! That was her name! “Oh, hello! Glad to see you here again.”

“Oh um…y-you remember me?”

“I usually do, it’s nice to remember your patrons when you work.” Beatrice giggles, “Can I get you anything?”

Jessie, was still wearing a long sleeved shirt, using some of her hair to cover part of her face curling into herself almost “Um…j-just a bottle of water? I’d like that if you can.”

“Sure thing! I’ll be right back.” Jessie opened her mouth as if to stop her, but Beatrice watched the girl just close it and lean back into the seat, looking around almost as if she was scared. And boy, did Beatrice know that feeling.

She approached the bar top, letting Penny know what she needed and looked back to where Jessie was. She was looking around, sometimes intently at a handsome officer who walked past her table only to avoid her gaze if they turned around, combing more of her dark hair over the side of her face. Beatrice felt the pang of recognition, the memory of being just like that almost fogged her mind, hiding the sounds from outside, voices getting farther and farther –

“Bea.” the brunette blinks in surprise, snapping her head to where a worried Penny looked over at her, a hand touching her shoulder, “Are you okay, hon?”

Beatrice licks her lips, then nods with a small smile, “I am, just looking around. I’s very…full tonight.” she says, trying to ease her boss’ worried gaze as she grabs the chilled water bottle. Penny agrees, asking Bea again if she was okay and the nodding returns, a bit quicker and Beatrice is rapidly stepping away from the bar top to the table where the girl was. She inhaled shakily, slapping on a smile as she neared Jessie’s table.

The girl still looked uncomfortable, plucking her cuticles and the end of her long sleeved top, only looking up when she notices Beatrice nearby. They share a small greeting, Jessie leaning back on her seat so Beatrice could place her water bottle down, “Well, let me know if you need anything else.” Jessie’s eyes snap back at Beatrice when the woman turns on her heel to leave.

“I-I…” Beatrice stops, looking over her shoulder, “I just…can I ask you something?”

“Well, sure, if I can answer it.”

Jessie hesitates, still playing with her fingers, “...are you– the mustached guy,” Beatrice inhaled again when Rooster was mentioned, “Is he–are you two really together?” Unlike the other times when she was asked that question, there wasn’t mockery or sarcasm within her words, but genuine curiosity and dare she say, wonder.

“We are,” she holds up her left hand, wriggling the ring finger, showing the wedding band,”It’s been…two weeks now, since we tied the knot.” normally Beatrice wouldn’t share stuff like that with patrons, but she had a feeling this girl needed to hear about it considering how she looked at her so intensely.

Jessie still had her eyes on Beatrice, assessing the other woman’s expression before moving her gaze away, “That’s…that’s really cool. Have you two um…been together long?”

“Oh, not really.” Bea looks over her shoulder when she hears someone else asking for a refill, “Sorry I’ll have to get this, I’ll be around if you need anything else!” and Jessie nods eagerly, holding the bottle with both hands, watching Beatrice walk away from her table. Her eyes stay on the brunette as she approaches the table her husband is sitting at and watches, amazedly, as one of his hands gently touches the side of her arm before dropping back down to the wooden top.

Rooster looks back to where Jessie was, meeting the girl’s eyes and she immediately looked away, chugging her water loudly out of panic. He arches one eyebrow in question, but his attention goes back to Bea who grabs the empty bottles with one hand, “Not too long for your break, right gorgeous?” he asks and Beatrice shakes her head negatively with a smile, backing away from the table and showing him her five fingers signaling she only had five minutes left, “I’ll meet you outside.”

He winks and she melts on the spot, but she nods in agreement before walking away from him. Bradley watches with a little smile until he can no longer turn his neck to see her, focusing back on his beer and the constant teasing from the others to Nat. He does, however, move his gaze back to the girl that was looking over to them…was she the one that Beatrice said reminded her of herself?

She unfortunately stuck out by wearing a hoodie in such a place, her hair covering her face and her body almost touching the wall. She looked really uncomfortable and he was sure it wasn’t only because of how stuffy she probably was. Part of him felt bad, because the Hard Deck was a fun place and you shouldn’t feel so scared to the point of trying to hide yourself because of people, but he could somewhat understand why she was doing so.

He drops his eyes back to his watch, smirks seeing that the five minutes have passed and slides out of his seat, “Excuse me guys-”

“Go on, loverboy,” Payback chuckles, “We know.”

Bradley just huffs out a laugh, adjusting the Hawaiian shirt on his shoulders before he treads through the crowd to the outside of the bar. He finds Beatrice immediately, she’s waiting for him at the Bronco as always, her smile immediately widening when she sees him, “That smile is going to hook me in.” he says while nearing her form, “One of these days.”

She smiles even more, laughing quietly and immediately wrapping her arms around his neck once he’s close enough, her lips meeting his in a soft kiss, “That’s the plan,” was whispered against his mouth with another peck soon following. He chuckles into her mouth, the kiss deepening just enough to make Beatrice sigh quietly, the hold on his neck tightening and her body getting closer to his until their chests are touching.

She giggles into his mouth, feeling his mustache tickle her lower lip when he breaks the kiss, trailing his mouth along her jawline, “Brad!” she tries to stop him, but there’s no one outside,so it’d be safe, “You are awful.”

“I sure am.”

One of her hands gently comb the back of his hair, just enough for him to feel the nails scraping on his scalp and a shudder dart all over him, “So,” she begins as he keeps his mouth on her neck, not biting or sucking, just kissing the soft skin of her throat, “Ev is going to throw a Halloween party this weekend.”

“I might’ve heard something about that.” he replies.

“Do you…want to go? I know we planned to go out but– and then my mom wants us to have lunch on Sunday so, well–”

He lifts his head from her neck, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear - the one that always slips out of her bun, “Well,I mean…I’ll have to find a costume, but I don’t see why not? We don’t have to stay too long, we can just get in, talk a bit and get out. Plus, if we need to, we can go out Sunday night.”

Beatrice furrows her brows, “Are you sure?”

“I know you are worried about me,” he smiles, pressing their foreheads together, “And you want me to have fun before I leave…but gorgeous, the important part is no matter where I go. As long as I'm with you I’ll be happy.” her cheeks turned red immediately, her smile turning bashful, “We can still have a lot of fun and honestly, I kinda wanted to do a couples costume with you ever since last year.”

“Well,I don’t know exactly what I’ll wear. Shells wants me to visit her tomorrow so she can show me…ideas I guess?”

“Hm.” he tucks the stubborn strand of hair behind her ear yet again, rubbing the side of her face with his thumb, “Well, do let me know and if it’s something easy I can come up with an outfit. If not, we just go to a store and get those couple costumes that cost 29.99.”

Beatrice smiles, but much less than before, “Those places don’t usually…have things my size, Roos.” she says almost ashamedly, chewing her lower lip and looking to the side “Those couple costumes are either…really small on me or really big on me.”

“Then we’ll both be there dressed up as Magnum PI.” he smirks, “You can be the feminine version and use one of my shirts.”

“You’d reuse your costume from before?”

“I don’t mind,” he shrugs, “As long as you have fun wearing it too.”

Beatrice’s heart shuddered inside her ribcage, how could he be so…understanding and sweet? The fact he just wants her to wear something that makes her comfortable and immediately suggested his own clothes made her feel warm all over, “Roos, you…” she laughs quietly, “You are too sweet.”

Bradley smirks, giving her a quick shrug, “I do try.” he says as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, “It’ll be after your shift right?” Beatrice nods, “We can change at home really quickly and stop by Evelyn and then enjoy the night the best we could.”

Beatrice agrees with that, even giving him a single nod with a bright grin, then leaning closer to kiss his lips again, “Hm,” he breaks the kiss, arching both eyebrows, “Was the girl with the hoodie the same one you talked about before?”

“...talked about before…oh! Yes! Yes, that’s her. Why?”

“She was looking at us when you came to greet me.”

Beatrice blinks up at him, “She asked if we were really together.” she explains, “Not menacingly or mockingly, but I think she wanted to hear from me that we were married.” Rooster just ‘huh’ed quietly, looking to the side in thought, “I mean, she didn’t try anything.”

“No, baby,I know.” he reassures her, wrapping his arms around her waist tighter so she could rest her chin between his pectorals, looking up at him with her brows low, “I’m asking because she was staring and I just wanted to make sure she didn’t try anything funny.”

“Oh, no no! She didn’t.” Beatrice says, shaking her head, “She’s here all alone, no friends of hers this time…”

“She looks really uncomfortable.”

“She’d be uncomfortable with or without them, Roos.” she explains, “Maybe she just wanted to know more about us. Maybe…” and she doesn’t finish her sentence, looking to the side as the words complete within her brain. Her husband just stares, giving her a gentle nudge to her waist, making Beatrice look back up at him with her gaze unreadable.

“What’s wrong?”

She parts her lips, hesitates, but then gathers enough courage to voice her thoughts, “...I considered that if it was me looking in,I’d want to know more. Because if someone else could do it, then maybe so could I.” she says quietly, “...she looked at the guys at the bar, she wanted to know if it’d be possible for her to,maybe, get a guy like you too.” Rooster looked down at her with his brows furrowed just the tiniest bit and he felt so bad about the girl. No wonder she was staring, it was probably what she wanted to have but didn’t know how to.

“Ah. Well…damn.”

“I know.” Beatrice offers him a small smile, “Maybe all she needs is…a little push, I’ll try to talk to her while inside, you know? Who knows, maybe there’s someone else at the bar who gets interested. Like you did.”

Rooster’s smile widened, “Maybe so.” he pecked her forehead, “Maybe it’ll be a Rooster and Bea 2.0, huh? I just hope the guy doesn’t step in when it comes to piano playing. That’s my thing.”

“I think we don’t have to worry about that, you are one of a kind Roos.”

She complimented him several times with several names, but everytime she called him ‘one of a kind’ or ‘one in a million’ it made something inside him vibrate. He liked compliments, but he liked when Beatrice complimented him the most, because for some reason, it sounded so much more sincere than if someone did the same. He didn’t think people were dishonest when complimenting him, of course not, but Beatrice’s voice always had that intonation of wonder and admiration, something that he didn’t know if he deserved.

If he voiced that outloud she’d be so offended and tell him he did deserve that, one hundred percent! Both of them still had their own self doubt issues and they’d work on them together, “One of a kind, huh?” she grins at him, squeaking out a laugh when he kisses her jawline, the fuzz of his mustache tickling her neck as she tries to hold onto his neck, “Look who’s talking.”

“Well,” she begins once her laughter dies down, “I’m not lying when I say it either.” she giggles, cupping his face in her hands, kissing his lips repeatedly. They stay in the parking lot until it’s time for her to go back, which makes Rooster sigh because in his own words he ‘had to behave or else Penny was going to kick him out.’ but before they both got inside, he quickly smacked her ass cheek when they were steps away from the door.

Beatrice holds back her yelp so no one would look outside to check on them, then swats his arm repeatedly as her cheeks turn bright red but the smile never falters. It is a bit more embarrassed, but it never leaves her lips. “One more.” he coos before they step back into the Hard Deck, pulling her to the side so the shadows would hide the two from curious eyes, “Just until it’s time to go.”

“One more?” he nods, “One peck,right? You won’t try to make out with me before I go inside, right?”

He’d absolutely do that, “Of course not, pretty girl.” he smirks, “Don’t you know me?”

“Too well, Lieutenant.” cue to his posture stiffening, but Beatrice steps closer to him, “Too well.” she cups his face again, bringing their lips together and trying to hold back the soft moan when his mouth opened and his tongue met hers for a brief second, but it was enough to leave her flushed and breathing heavily, “You are so awful.” she whispers against his lips, kissing him one more time, “You are lucky you are cute.”

Bradley laughs, letting her enter the bar first and waiting a few minutes before he did it himself - after adjusting his jeans for a quick second - sending her a smirk from where she now was behind the bar top, her still flushed lips curling into a knowing smile and she turned away from him.

Beatrice looked over her shoulder to where Rooster sat back with the others from the Dagger squad, only looking away when he was already talking to the others, focusing on taking care of whoever came to the bar for drinks. Her eyes did wander to the girl,Jessie, who was still in the same spot, leaning closer to the wall, trying to be invisible. Her eyebrows lower when she notices the girl is just playing with the empty water bottle, her shoulders slumped…and then they meet eyes.

Beatrice didn’t even notice when she gestured to the stool right in front of her, only seeing that the girl quickly hurried over and sat down with her eyes wide, “So, do you need anything else?” Bea asks, but the Northride student shakes her head negatively, “...So, where are your friends?”

Jessie blinks, then shrugs, “Out. They didn’t invite me.” Beatrice inhaled sharply, more memories returning, “And I didn’t want to be alone in the dorm, so…I came here.”

“That’s okay. How are you enjoying the night out then?”

Jessie rubbed her hands together, “Um…I’m nervous to be honest,” she laughed awkwardly, “I…I don’t know why I came here, but I did. I like it here.” Beatrice offers her a smile as she refills someone else’s mug. “...have you worked here for long?”

“Oh, well, let’s see.” Beatrice closes one of her eyes while thinking, muttering the numbers under her breath, “I think I’ve been here for a whole year already. If I’m not mistaken.”

“Ah, okay…” Jessie murmured, “...do you like it?”

‘I love it.” Beatrice smiles, “It has a lot of perks, it’s a very sociable job and I was really shy when I started.” she stops for a second once the crowd settles so she could turn her attention to Jessie, “I had people who helped me overcome it. And myself of course.”

Jessie still looked at her in surprise, but her small smile widened, “...I want to apologize for Stacy’s comment, the last time we got here. She…well, she was really rude. “

“Nah, it’s fine.” Beatrice smiles, “As long as she doesn’t repeat it.”

“...You are so confident.” the girl mutters and Beatrice looks at her with her brow up, “You…I wish I had your confidence.”

Wow. She’s really seeing herself in this girl…well, she did say she’d try her best to help her out if she showed up again, “Not all the time.” Beatrice says softly, “It’s not easy being confident, sometimes it’s really bothersome, because your brain can’t fathom you want to do better, you know?” the girl nods, of course she knew, “It’s a long walk, but I think I’m trekking through it just fine.”

“...I wish I could do that.”

“Well, you can.” Bea says, “Word of advice? You should start by checking who your friends really are, breaking free from toxic people really helps.” she didn’t know if she was overstepping, but Jessie stayed silent as she took in the information, eventually lowering the hood to her neck and exposing the dark brown long hair - that looked black from a distance - and she just looked at Beatrice with her fists clenched on the bar top.

She doesn’t say anything, but she does slide a few dollars on the bar top and mouths the words ‘thank you’ to Beatrice, pushing herself off the stool and walking out of the bar. Beatrice followed the girl with her eyes until she disappeared into the night, the sound of a car revving away from the parking lot signaling she was gone. Penny’s presence appeared by her side, the older woman looking in the same direction, “...she needed that.” she says softly, hugging Beatrice’s shoulder, “You did good,Bea.”

Beatrice turns to face Penny, giving her boss a small smile, “...I’d like to hope so. It’s what I would’ve liked to hear when I was her age.”

“I think we’ll see the results soon enough. Now,” Penny juts her thumb over her shoulder, “Your husband is waiting for you.”

Bea tilts her body back, seeing that Rooster was leaning on the counter, giving her a pleased little grin. She hands Penny the payment and walks over to where he was, “What do you need,Roos?”

“Yo-” he stops at Beatrice’s amused glare, her lips pursing as she tries to hold back her own grin, “A few more beers, gorgeous, if you could.”

“I can.” she says sweetly, turning on her heel to grab the beers from the fridge and she could feel his eyes on her ass,”Rooster.” she calls from where she was, looking back over her shoulder to catch him quickly lifting his brown irises to meet her green ones. She laughs breathily, setting the beers down with a soft ‘thunk’ “Did I mention you are awful?”

“Yes,” he replies, grabbing the beers between his fingers, “You also said I was really cute.” he whispers, throwing her another wink, slowly backing away from the counter. Beatrice huffed out a laugh,crossing her arms and following him with her eyes until he got back to the table. Beatrice’s cheeks reddened, but she just smiled more, shaking her head with amusement before going back to work.
