me: it's about monsters it's about those othered by society, it's about civilization and weaponized shame, it's about the power of controlling your own narrative and the devastation of it being taken away from you, it's about security vs freedom, compassion vs pragmatism, begging for admittance vs burning the house down, it's inevitability and foregone conclusions and the things we'll do for love. when the king brands us pirates, he doesn't mean to make us adversaries. he doesn't mean to make us criminals. he means to make us monsters.
guy who wanted to date me: oh yeah that's the uh, the pirate one right? yeah I saw some of that, it was pretty good

if you see absolutely anything that has kabru in it. And are unable to stop yourself from making it about L/abru (even when Laios doesn’t even appear or is irrelevant to the content in question!) and reduce kabrus entire deuteragonist-level character into wanting to fuck laios. I’m stealing something out of your house!!!!!
disclaimer: If you ship l/abru and gaf about kabru and don’t do this then this post isn’t about you 🤓
#I love kabru so much but finding content of him is so painful bro I cant#Flames flames flames up the side of my face!#I constantly consider just nuking my account and forgetting I ever read or cared about dungeon meshi many times bc of this lol#I care him so much. More than I care about dungeon Meshi as a work as much as I respect it and it’s fun to create for#I can’t be normal about this genuinely I never get like this but I turn into A.M from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream#Laios and kabrus connection is really sweet in the end and I don’t ship it but like the ship it’s so inoffensive in abstract just not for m#But in reality every day I get jumpscared by the things people are doing to my angel#Like just do laios self shipping that’s clearly what you daft cunts actually want why puppeteer kabru free my boy#I promised I would never post like this but like it really makes me so mad lol. And want to just go back to not looking up anything online#And I already specifically curate my experience to a crazy degree.#But the way that this fandom revolves around babying laios is crazy dude#Like every single thing is about poor poor laios#like he’s the main character but it’s insane even people who LIKE him have to put disclaimers when saying even jokey mean things#Because then 1000x idpol white autistic people will descend upon them otherwise#And I say this as an autistic person of colour it’s annoying asf lol I do not respect any of you! To put it mildly!#If the only way you can engage with characters or stories is through vectors which You can personally project onto and relate to#I’m doing a lot more than fucking stealing something out of your house!#It’s the most normal thing on earth to not like the main character of a series but I feel if you genuinely hated laios#And are not just “guilty” of criticising him or appreciating his flawed character. Then the legions of cornballs will descend on you#The only good spaces are small pockets of people engaging with each other together. The rest lol nuclear devastation#but I suppose that’s the nature of fandoms lol why complain about clowns at the circus 🚶#Like there’s literally characters whose main purpose in the story IS their relationship/dynamic with laios. Kabru is NOT JUST THAT!!#He is a deuteragonist!#Treat him like one!#Like why are people talking about labru on my freaking kaburin and kabushuro posts dude free me

note that i will only ever call mithrun "stupid" jokingly. by "stupid", i only mean "frustrating behavior that i am immensely familar with". seeing him do something that makes me groan aloud, closing my eyes, sighing "stupid (affectionate, mournful)". like when he fucking... his dumbass "i don't want to [use the bathroom] right now, so it's fine." oughh. i know you! i know you! that's not how that works!!! and he's smart!!! he's so smart... but god, god... he's kind of an absent professor. he's kind of a cloudcuckoolander. i love him dearly. he gets called a dummy, a little idiot, and i flick his forehead, a little bonk of hard-heads, like "try again, idiot. that's not how bodies work." and "ooh, 'that's not going to work'. yes it is. shut up, stoopid. stubborn little man, my god." rolling my eyes forever.
#mithrun#i'm not devaluing his intelligence#i feel like both can be true - that someone can be really smart but also take really stupid actions conversely#i fucking KNOW i do all the time#and i don't think there's anything particularly wrong with the word#it's not that his intelligence is compromised in any sense or that i think he's incapable#and it is solely#the fact that he is a stubborn little guy who doesn't listen and just goes 'that won't work' / 'i don't want to' / etc.#like... BUDDY...#buddy BOY#dummy#you are NOT a good judge of this ok?#zip ya lip little man#i know what you are#and i ain't fuckin listening to ya!#god. 'that won't work'. blah blah blah. okay sleepy. see you next panel.#fuckin knew that was going to happen#'i'm not tired' (his body stops working and he doesn't know why)#oh. OH. you're NOT? buddy i KNOW what happened ok? you need some fuckin rest#like - i'm gonna kick your legs out from under you + you're going to fall gently into bed + i tuck you in and smooch you#but i also fucking complain because OF COURSE YOU'RE TIRED ! you bastard ! go sleepy bye#it's his poor decisions and i know why he does them - because he doesn't know - but by god#it's also a little like please... listen to yourself...#on the one hand he doesn't know and never will#on the other hand ... you have been awake for hours and hours without sleep... please get some rest...#but yeah as someone who forgets needs and has little sense of that it is like... objectively a stupid experience#and i don't say that with judgement in my heart but it feels REALLY stupid when your body does something and you don't know why#it's not the disability though that makes me say as much - it is fully the fact that he is SO STUBBORN! SO STUBBORN!!!!#you say you're not tired and fall down? hm? then maybe you are? i know you don't know but whatever. let's get you to bed boy. ok?#caring for him + shaking my head like i get it so much but you gotta sleep! 'this won't work'. ok liar... i already know it will.

So their is so sO SO much wrong with the Lightning thief movie But I think my two favorite things that don't make sense are
1) apparently Percy's name is just 'Percy' because he needed help to name a third demigod and he had to look at the Greek to get the name 'Perseus'
2) for some reason their are Thirteen thrones on Olympus. It's goes (right to left) Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hera (a decision to put her here of all places), Hermes, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Zeus (at the head), Athena, Ares, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, EMPTY THRONE! Why 13? For Hestia? But she doesn't have a throne she gave it up. For Hades? He also doesn't have one on Olympus!
#plus they really tell us everything. their is no showing. its all spelled out! we get shown Percy's dyslexia then hes gotta tell us#he has dyslexia and adhd. we get told the name and description of every god or monster as that shows up#damn have they never heard of show dont tell? and then they show moments and five seconds later they tell us what they JUST showed#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson#percy jackson and the lightning thief#the lightning theif#the lightning theif movie#percy jackson movies#then grover is just casually insulting the gods? like they wouldn't just strike him down.#grover#olympus#rick riordan#like we know they didnt read the book but did they even google greek mythology?#archery is just five feet from the Infermery over a walking path? thats nor dangerous at all 🙄 making more work for the poor apollo kids#apparently Aphrodite only has girls and ares only has boys..... for some reason?#no claiming! they just show up and they know whos kid they are? why is luke so pissed then? thats like half of lukes deal is unclaimed kids#Persephone is still in the underworld even though its near the summer solstice and she leaves the underworld in spring#they just mushed Clarisse with Annabeth like 'Annabeth` faught him at the river even though Clarisse did that#i could go on and on and on and on but you get the point

my hot take about descendants is that NONE of the core four were ready for a relationship until maybe like, the third movie (rant in tags)
#they were still adjusting to living life without struggling to survive#a girl should not be jumping into a relationship the same week she just tried her first piece of non-rotten food lol#thats not to say I don't like the canon ships#but mal married literally the FIRST man she met in auradon. at 18.#and even as far as in descendants 2 we see them still struggling to adjust in different ways (mainly mal)#in d3 they seem to have fully assimilated into life in Auradon (as much as a VK can anyway)#so it makes sense for them to THEN seek out relationships if that's what they want.#but disney ofc wanted to act like romantic love just automatically fixes a person's problems ig?? as if a relationship wouldn't just be#added stress given the position the VKs were in in d1#not to mention dating just like. wasnt a thing on the isle (mal even says this)#and I get that the kids are craving to be loved because their parents didn't gaf about them. But I wish the first movie focused more on the#finding that love in each other than romantically with outside people. a sort of “they had love in them all along” moment.#and then this fandom loves to argue about whether Jarlos/Janelos was 'rushed'. at least Carlos (and Jay +lonnie) waited a few months before#throwing themselves into the dating scene. Poor evie had her heart broken within like 3 days of being in Auradon. no wonder she was willing#to help steal the wand lol.#Anyway to wrap up this rant I didn't even mean to go on#I just think that kids who have spent the first 14-16 years of their lives fighting to survive and being put through continuous trauma on a#daily basis don't need dating right away. they need THERAPY.#if anyone here has seen stranger things its kinda an El and Mike situation were its like. the girl grew up in a lab and fell for the first#boy in regular society who was kinda nice to her lol. thats how I view Mal and Ben#same with doug and evie. he was nicer than chad but he still fell for her for her looks and she still fell for him because he was the first#guy in auradon to be genuinely interested in her. also evie had a whole “I dont need a prince” arc and ended up with a man anyway?#my problem with janelos was always that Carlos never quite worked out his mommy issues or his anxiety. I feel like he'd be afraid of hurtin#her even though that boy wouldn't hurt a fly. and we see Jane get pretty stressed out herself- have you ever been in a relationship where#both of you have anxiety? cause it either goes really well (you help keep each other calm) or REALLY terribly (you make each other spiral)#I actually really liked Lonnie and Jay (though I feel like it would've had a bigger payoff if she was in d3. not sure why she wasn't but I#wont dunk on that because it couldve been smth to do with her actress). I think Lonnie is someone who can 'handle' Jay well and match his#energy. And I like the idea of Jay finding someone he's loyal to after being commitment-phobic for 1 1/2 movies and the whole first book lo#and ofc I have to throw this in here: any auradon kid the VKs get with is never going to grasp even half of what they went through.#this doesnt mean they can't try to understand and be empathetic. but it will always cast a shadow on VK/AK relationships.

…well, turns out changing to a Jo pfp is fitting in more ways than one.
#yeah turns out I’m going to be having a Jo and Laurie on the Hill moment. hopefully not to such a dramatic degree but#I went out with The Boy yesterday and I was dreading it so much#and it was fine but then at the end he asked if we could make it official that we were dating#and I asked him to give me a little bit of time to think (which he was super sweet about he did literally nothing wrong)#but yeah I just came to the conclusion within ten seconds of leaving the restaurant that it wasn’t going to work. like I felt nothing when#he asked me that question. and I wanted this to work so bad! it makes so much sense on paper but I’m just not feeling it#and I talked to my dad about it and he said that because the part of the brain that processes emotions is not connected to the part that#processes language aren’t connected that people who are married struggle to put into words why they married their spouse#so if I can’t put into words why I don’t want to date this guy it’s perfectly valid#and I suppose he’s right I just feel terrible about it. like how often do you find a guy this courteous and genuinely good? and like I#think maybe part of what’s bothering me was that there was almost no romance to this. like never at any point did he tell me that he even#liked me. it was just ‘hey we’ve hung out a few times now should we say we’re dating?’ and I’m not trying to rag on him he’s probably just#shy but it rang a little like a business proposition to me#but ugh. now I have to call (because I’m not going to do it over text) and break this poor boy’s heart#it’s a really good thing I have the play and my novel to distract me otherwise I’d be a mess#anyway prayers would be appreciated

thought too hard about putting neku from the 3yr timeskip between twewy & neo on the train and now i'm trying to untangle what the fuck that even Means for him
#kbitycus talks#if i start unpacking how planes work on the train im never going to stop but i LOVE thinking about it#also the concept of him accidentally making his number into a timer in some shape or form has me thinking#bc even if it doesnt. he absolutely thinks hes back in A game at least . the guy running the thing is called 'the conductor' ffs yk??#also i want him to get on in the art gallery car lmao. go boy kill that docent#i think assuming roxas is a reaper would do something to that boy also i want to see that dynamic#the thing abt 3yr timeskip neku is that something is wrong with him and not even in a mental way mostly just in like. a metaphysical sense#i like the idea that he is genuinely on the train to socialize . boy! get out of that ghost town#because the thing abt twewy is that the game kind of. is the therapy train but worse/better. i dont think neku is coming into this with#issues that arent ''well i got killed again and ive been in purgatory for ???? months'' maybe some issues that arent that#but mostly its the getting killed again and isolated Against his will thing#(neku vc) so whats the objective here what do i have to do before the timer runs out so i dont die again#(some poor denizen vc) What. the fuck#i dont know if this is genuinely coherent but im having fun

nah bro no matter what parents leaving their kids... fuck no. can't accept that.
i understand Palm's mom wanting to get away from his dad. but to just completely cut off your kid?? to the point you dont even know what he fucking looks like?????
#not to fucking mention palms dad couldn't work and take care of Palm at the same time#ultimately leading to his fucking money issues#which is the whole fucking reason he works for nueng's family now.#like not even attempting to help raise fucking Palm and apparently not even attempting to help in some way financially#(which she bad at that anyway bc you know gambling is very much another red flag)#I dont like any of palm's parents#my poor boy palm#i want to give him a hug#palm#never let me go#i hope palm comes to the relization that his parents fucked him over

I do enjoy watching the games after they happen both bc anxiety but also bc it lets me take attention span breaks.
ALSO i know its silly, and superstitions are not real, and i can logic my way out of it, but i stillllllll feel like SIGH if i had only managed to get out of bed long enough to do the thing on sunday. Like i said i would if the rangers won sat night, and then i got sick as a dog, and couldnt physically make the drive, and there's still a part of me thats like ITS MY FAuLT i jinxed my team ;_;
#NYR boots liveblog#I know i know its silly#Anyway i have a new idea for a good luck silly thing to do later in the summer#Times like this i miss hiker boy#Whenever he was in town he was always up for any stupid idea i came up with poor guy followed me on many pointless adventures#And never made fun of me for them even though i almost hurt his guitar playing hand dragging him on that one insanely steep hike#Now i have to convince my friends that this thing is going to be fun its so much more work#I do recognize that part of his enthusiasm for doing anything with me was the romantic stuff :/ i was maybe using that a little bit#I was texting timmy all saturday trying to get him to drive down with me and he was not buying it#Kept being like laura its bad weather why are you going down there in BAD WEATHER#Im like timmy its 60 the only place where thats bad weather is california pls#And then he made me tell him the name of the place we were going so he could do research to figure out if its worth it#Hiker boy never asked these questions

Might go get Dorian tomorrow. I was going to get him today but RSV is kicking my ass.
Here's a picture of the boy though
#dorian the cat#I'm going to start calling him Dorian Orange#my dad once knew a dude named Orange Brown who was a poor black boy in Tennessee and was a farm hand#and the farmer had shitty lazy kids who were spoiled rotten#so the farmer willed his fortune to Orange Brown who never had to work another day in his life#not oscar wilde

Not me having a mild panic attack at the grocery store when I realize how fucking expensive life is.
Not me also heavily fantasying about hot fictional and/or historical women. The. whole. damn. day.
Not me also stuffing fried chicken in my face.
Definitely not me saving about fifty articles about Radclyffe Hall for later browsing completely unrelated to my grad research (or is it???)
#a box of rice crispies should NOT be 7 dollars#the poor kid helping me at the store was like lady wtf is going on with you#I put back like a third of my groceries...that's not a fun feeling let me tell you#leaves pretty brain shitty never ended#girl help#The functioning on your local bipolar person may vary please#it has not been my semester lol#my professor must be so confused#she thought I was so smart when I turned in my thesis but then realized I'm only good at writing papers sometimes#and even then not always#boy howdy is it not fun when your brain decides to betray you#she was like wow you know who Radclyffe Hall is#yes I am gay professor#I swear I am the most clown town person in that class ugh#I want to be an academic but wow my brain needs to calm down#actually bipolar#unhinged gay grad student confessions#at least I get to see my friend tomorrow#and maybe I can catch up on my owed work tonight if I log off tumblr soon :/#and I have more ideas for memes...you already know where this is probably going to go#and I apologize in advance#my chatter

today i visited subway. the person behind the counter was a woman i went to high school with and used to work with at the subway in our hometowns four years ago. we both attend college within twenty miles of home. i don't know her last name but i still have her number in my phone. she said "small world" but i don't think the world is small. i think we're small.
#medieval peasants would call the length between my school and my house a journey but we still say small world#we can go anywhere we can even go to space#look up at the sky. our ancestors said i want to go there. and we did and we can.#i moved 14 times before high school. but we ended up in the same town in the literal exact same house we started.#my older sister just moved back in with my parents#you can't leave. you will always come back.#people who live in towns with more than three stoplights will never ever understand#appalachia is so twisted because we only have ourselves and each other#no one else wants us. we are safe here with our clans and family and tradition.#because anyone who tries to change that is the enemy not in a cynical way in a genuine way#the only people who come into redneck towns and try to change it are capitalists who alter our fundamental way of life or#go bankrupt trying. the reason we have walmarts that you can make fun of us for using is that they drove out our local businesses#we're a community of farmers and hunters but we have to buy the wilted brown stuff from walmart because our farmers can't afford to sell#anything!!! farmers markets are special events they can't feed a community crops can't even feed a family anymore#rednecks are afraid of change because everyone who tries to change our communities just abandons us in deeper poverty#we are born to work ourselves to death.#we are delivered an elegy for a family man and buried in obscurity on our family land.#looking back now my daddy would have told that poor boy from nazareth to rub some dirt in it.#op

quick drabble about my favorite boy bc i’ll go insane if i don’t get this out wc. 420 warns. a loud, shameless man, cum:>, just a slutty boy, fem (s/her) reader.
choso is sooo fucking loud when he’s in it.
he doesn’t understand the concept of embarrassment, especially when it comes to letting you know how good you make him feel.
when you ride him, my goddd. when you ride him so good like you always do, your pretty pussy— his pussy all his clenching and sucking him so tightly he just can’t help but whine and moan like a filthy, filthy little whore in your ear. just babbling— words all jumbled up, interrupted by needy little hiccups and breathy laughs as he smiles so cutely when you milk him.
and he knows hearing him drives you crazy. the more you two fuck, the more he picks up on the little things that turn you on. he notices how much you tighten up, how your lips quirk up into a smirk when he rambles about how good you feel, how he’ll be such a good boy for you if you “pleasepleaseplease just let me cum again”
and he’s so pretty, too. looking up at you with the neediest eyes ever like a little porcelain doll, begging with purple orbs as his hands dig into your waist because if he’s not grounding himself when you sink onto him, he’d cum as soon as his tip makes contact with your sloppy pussy sliding in between your puffy, slimy folds.
but you spoil him too much. now he can’t get off without you :( — your soft, pretty hands or your wet mouth. when you’re gone and he gets all riled up— soo, so fucking hard just by the smell of you on his sheets. always sends you the prettiest pictures, the hem of his shirt tucked between his pinky lips, his dribbling cock resting against his abs or voice messages filling your ears with his poor whimpers. doesn’t even warn you, just sends them, because he knows you’ll take care of him.
and when you don’t— if you’re just too busy caught up in work or running errands, he’ll wait so, so patiently, like a little pup, not touching because he knows only you can make him feel so good.
when he cums its buckets. in ropes painting your pretty face all over your lolled tongue or your boobs, fists wrapped around the base of his throbbing cock to finish himself off on you. never, ever ever wants any of it to go to waste. he’ll lick it all up, panting, sucking on your puffy nipples— licking stripes up your cheeks till you're his clean girl again.

#also to be fair he was a kid when he did it
Okay I wasn't going to comment on the original reply because 1) Yubel's crimes aren't even the point of this post* and 2) that user doesn't seem to like me in particular (given they have an "anti" tag that's just posts of mine they've commented on) and I've blocked them to save us both some headache, but before this risks breaking containment too hard I want to point out the original tags here:
Note that the person who made these comments chose to omit the last tag, which on top of phrases like "never 4get" is intended to communicate that I am attempting to be funny on the Internet and roasting a character I'm fond of, rather than seriously attacking his character. On a joke post, about Yugioh characters saying skill issue.
* And before someone tries to take this out of context again, I shouldn't even have to say this but this skill issue joke post is not intended to be a post where I discuss my opinions of Yubel's crimes and it never was.
Edit: I realize this post is a bit cranky so here's an additional joke now that I've had to comment on the original reply anyway:
Check for comprehension (in the style of reading-comp-posting):
What meme is the original post referencing?
Are the speakers of the shown quotes taken seriously? Are lines like "while you were wasting time being dead" intended to be interpreted as reasonable judgements of others' circumstances?
Is it likely that the tags are taking described offenses seriously? Out of the three shown quotes, why are OP's tags referencing one speaker specifically? What do phrases like "the most guy ever" convey about OP's opinion of that character?
How does user janestvalentine interpret the quoted tags? Given your answer to #3, is this a reasonable interpretation?
Of the original tags, which ones does user janestvalentine include or exclude in their quote? Is any information lost from excluded tags?
OP posted a screenshot edit attributing user janestvalentine's comments to a particular character. Discuss with a mutual familiar with GX: is this a usual comment that character would make? Given your answers to #2 and #5, why might OP have chosen to make this comparison?
Yugioh characters simply have no patience for your skill issues.
#i don't even know how to tag this#tumblr#i guess#if you want my full unabridged opinion on yubel my ask box is open i guess#but BOY can i not stress enough that this is one of the posts least about yubel i have ever made#the way tumblr works there's a not inconsiderable chance the deliberate omission propagates anyway#but if someone starts beef based on this post taken out of context i swear#yeah i know this is the 'how dare you say we piss on the poor' website what did i expect#anyway i feel like i may have to link this multiple times in the future#because you can't centralize replies#but to be clear:#the person who made those comments pretty clearly does not like me#i blocked them so they don't have to see my posts and so i don't have to deal with situations like this#i will refrain from outright speculating on motive but i will point out that they tagged their comment as 'anti soulshipping'#despite neither my post nor my tags relating to shipping#and that their 'anti soulshipping' tag as of time of posting is exactly two posts from me ten months apart#one of which was under a readmore#no other posts no other users#take that context as you will#i have no plans to interact with that user unless they go out of their way to circumvent the block#in fact i think it's healthier if we never interact#i will however correct people who took a bad faith comment in good faith#to avoid further misinformation

The Love and Deepspace Boys Trying to Get You to Sleep ⋆。°✩
Tags: Fluff, teasing, needy boys, mild sexual content, gender neutral reader (I had to re-write so please let me know if I messed up.)
─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───
Xavier is surprisingly softer than you expected when you first met him on your mission together. He’s an incredibly powerful hunter but possesses a quiet and gentle, almost oblivious, aura when navigating everyday life, like a ghost floating through the space he takes up. It should also be understood that this very nature of his makes him affectionate, so much so, that he won’t unwrap his arms around your waist and stop pressing his head to your shoulder as you sit at the kitchen bar, typing on your laptop.
“Are you planning on staying up later than the stars?” he mumbles.
There’s a gentle yawn against your skin from the sluggish man, highlighting just how long he’s been trying to coax you into going to bed.
“I wanted to finish this report for work.”
“The report will be there tomorrow,” he says. You swat away his hand that reaches for the power button on the laptop causing him to pout. He grumbles. “You should go to bed. Otherwise, I can’t sleep.”
Smiling to yourself, you decide to tease him. “Oh, so you’re really trying to get me to go to bed for your own benefit?”
“Well, you can’t very well expect me to do it by myself anymore.” Xavier nuzzles his head into the slope of your neck, cuddling you. “It’s your responsibility since you ruined my sleeping habits.”
“Ruined?”
“Ramshackled,” he repeats quietly, causing you to giggle. With an airy sigh, he presses his weight into you more. “How do you expect me to sleep when I can’t hold you?”
Defeated, you save your work and close the laptop. You swivel in your chair, enough to meet his eye, and cup a hand to his cheek. It never stops being endearing to you how he cutely closes his eyes and angles his head to snuggle your palm.
“Alright, alright, you don’t have to beg.”
His eyes flutter open, and the smile on his face grows as he wraps his fingers around yours. Carefully, he pulls on your hand to bring it up enough to begin to lace your wrist with affectionate kisses, tracing your pulse.
“I thought you enjoyed my begging.”
“That’s different.”
“It isn’t,” Xavier mutters into your skin, pressing another light kiss.
“It is.”
“So, you're resolute about that position?” he questions “innocently”. There’s something mischievous about the glint in those arctic eyes, which makes your face warm. You find yourself breaking eye contact, or else you’d lose it.
“Yes.”
Xavier chuckles then begins to lead his kisses down your arm. “In that case, care to explain the difference in detail, love?”
─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───
“Sleep.”
“But—”
“Sleep.”
Zayne narrows his eyes at you from his side of the bed. You can’t blame him for being a little annoyed right now but the movie you put on to fall asleep was much better than you expected; and instead of falling asleep, you were more awake than ever at a very late one in the morning.
“I’m almost done with the movie,” you tell him, hoping he’ll cut you a little slack this one time.
“Everyone dies at the end of their own stupidity,” he bluntly states and grabs the remote. The television turns off with an overly loud click, and you pout. “Now, sleep.”
Crossing your arms over your chest, you huff. “You’re the worst.”
“I’m fine with that title if it gets you to rest,” he explains with a smooth yawn. “Poor sleep habits lead to bad decision-making later. You’re more likely to develop high blood pressure, and with your heart in particular—”
“I get it. I get it,” you say, wanting to be spared the lecture. Zayne is a good person and a better doctor, but you wish he didn’t worry about you so much just because you might have a little big heart problem. Sighing, you squiggle onto your back and pull the sheets up to your collar, kicking them a little childishly in the process (totally not to let him know that you were not pleased with his spoiling). “I hope you’re proud of yourself.”
“Very.”
Zayne turns over onto his side, away from you, and you frown at the loneliness. Softly, you poke him in the back, once, then twice then a third time before you finally get a hum in response.
“Am I really not getting a good night kiss?”
“Do you need one to sleep?” he asks, his voice deeper from the lack of sleep, urging you to convince him to kiss you even more.
“Duh,” you explain. Slowly, he turns back over to look at you, propping himself up on one arm with a look that says “Is that so” as you continue to ramble. It makes you a little flustered when he watches you so intently. He’s always had this silent dominance that makes you obedient, but you could get what you want from him just as easily with the exact opposite strategy. Cutely, you puff your bottom lip out at him. “There has to be some health benefit to it. Kissing makes people all happy. Happy is good, right?”
It takes a second for him to take in what you say, those smokey eyes closing in on you with thought before he climbs over you. He places both hands at your sides and quickly boxes in your upper thighs with his knees.
“You’re thinking of dopamine,” he says.
“Huh?”
“That makes you “all happy”,” he explains and presses a deep kiss to your lips, leaving you thoughtless and breathless all at once. He moves to your jaw, and you begin to squirm from the pressure of his impassioned lips.
“And Serotonin.”
Another kiss, lower.
“Oxytocin.”
He’s at your shoulder when he starts to nip your skin, and one of his hands moves to ski up the back of your thigh.
“Reduced cortisol.”
Flustered, you grip his arms.
“Zayne, stop, it tickles,” you whine, but it’s the last thing you actually want as he readjusts his position and hovers above you.
His usually neat hair is messier and his breathing a little heavier judging by how his chest laboriously rises and falls. Groaning, you bite your bottom lip as he knowingly leans in and whispers,
“You need it to help you sleep, isn’t that what you said?”

“Why don’t you just say you don’t love me anymore?”
You look up from your phone screen at the sudden accusation. You’re resting on the couch, your back propped up by the armrest and legs splayed out on the other cushion while Rafayel looks down at you with crossed arms and a less-than-pleased scowl on his face. You’re entirely confused as to what you could’ve done to make him think something like that.
“Huh?”
“You’ve been playing video games for what—the last two hours?” he says, uncrossing his arms to grab your phone. It’s too late to warn him as he glances at the screen, clicking a few times. “What are you playing anyway? An…otome? Sheesh, go ahead and say you want me gone. Come on, tell me you actually hate me.”
Holding in your smile, you shake your head and affectionately roll your eyes. It takes an enormous amount of effort to not laugh as he continues to rant. “So, it’s one of those things. I thought I was actually in trouble.”
And by those things, you mean his dramatics.
“Hush, my complaints are perfectly legitimate,” he demands as he pushes your legs aside and sits on the couch. Leaning over, he flashes the screen at you to show the evidence he has that you’re completely unfair, unfaithful, and downright mean. “What’s this game giving you that I’m not? Are my dashing good looks and even better personality not enough? Is that it?”
Gently, you take the phone from his hand and set it down on the end table. “You’re plenty, perfect even.”
He scoffs and refuses to look at you. “Apparently not. Don’t you ever think about anyone else? What if I want to cuddle with you one day but you’re too busy to notice because you’re playing silly games?”
Ah, there it is. His real want. You never know why he can never just come out and say it.
“Rafayel, do you want me to come to bed and cuddle with you?”
“Want is a strong word,” he remarks but you can see his resolve (can you call it that when he planned to give in all along?) crumbling as he slowly turns back to meet your gaze, “but I wouldn’t be opposed to it. Not that you deserve it or care.”
Humming, you sit up, wrap your arms around his shoulders, and pull him down onto you. Lovingly, you snuggle him, stopping to only take in how red his neck and ears start to get when you squeeze him and start to stroke through his hair. You’re not sure if Lumerians can blow happy bubbles like he claims, but he definitely hums and relaxes his entire body weight to lay on top of you like he wants to sink into your skin.
Teasingly, you coo at him. “You’re so needy.”
“I’d rather say you humans aren’t needy enough,” he fires back as he wraps an arm around your waist and kisses the corner of your lips. “Ah, the sweet taste of victory.”
Giving out a gentle and short laugh, you lightly tap his back. “Go to sleep.”
