[destined-if]

Heya!! I hope you're well. Is destined still being worked on or did you end up deciding to focus on the other IF you had mentioned thinking about writing ? If you have been working on anything else, is there anything you can tell us about it? (if you're comfortable and it's not too spoilery)

Random question Do any of the Destined characters have a favorite hobby or past-time?

hii! i'm doing well, thank u for asking!!

currently, i'm splitting the work i'm doing... kinda like A days and B days?? i work on destined for a day then @mortala-if the next! so destined is still being worked on, just a slower pace! i wanted to even out my time on each project so it's fair to each one.

(the reason i haven't been posting is simply because i haven't been getting asks LMAO. i understand that i should push out content even if there's no asks, but I've been focusing on the actual demo for destined rather than the tumblr)

if you want to learn about it, you can go to my tumblr for it! @mortala-if has been floating in my head for a bit, longer than destined and much longer than when i posted the drabble! i just started putting it out there since i fully grasped the plotline and the character arcs i wanted to include!

and onto the question!!

Ian/Ivy: Surprisingly, they used to be really into journaling, but it faded away shortly after MC joined. They find it embarrassing now, but they still want to-- they just don't have that kind of time for a hobby anymore. They birdwatch sometimes, though. Isla: She likes baking and sewing, mostly sewing. She finds something calming about it, and the fact her grandma taught her adds to that. She likes when she's sewing and someone has a conversation with her. She tries to find time for it, but it's kinda futile.

Elias: He likes reading as well. I can see his favorite genre being murder mystery or horror books that he reads with a deadpan. Another hobby I see him having is cooking. Melody: It obviously used to be dancing, but that kinda faded into a career. They collect lots of things, mainly shells- seashells, snail shells, things of that nature.

Casper: He likes playing the harp, but like the other characters, he doesn't have a lot of time to practice. When he does, he plays in front of his siblings.

thank you for the ask!

I’m really excited for this IF. It kinda reminds me of those webcomics where the main character gets isekaid as a side character in an otome game who desperately tries to dodge the story, only to end up on one (or more) routes. Meanwhile, the comment section is readers desperately wishing she would just end up with the original game’s protagonist who she has way more chemistry with. This is why I’ll be romancing Isla. Sorry if this is weirdly specific.

Wow, I know about isekais and transmigration but I never thought of it that way for this IF and what an interesting way to look at, thanks for sharing ginkgo! Don’t be sorry, I love it so much 🫶 i hope you’ll enjoy romancing Isla along the way 💘

…and although you never asked, I’ll be sharing Isla Madison facts for you and other Isla romancers (I will soon be sharing other ROs’ facts too dw ^^)

Where do the ro's like to kiss/be kissed?

Marlon likes to kiss his S/O’s neck and nape. He likes his partners to get straight to the point and just kiss him on the lips.

Cyrus likes to kiss his S/O on the back - especially when they are cuddling together. He likes to be kissed on the cheek.

Isla likes to gently peck her S/O on the cheek or lips. She likes getting her cheek or hands kissed because she thinks it’s romantic.

Naomi likes to kiss her S/O’s on the lips. She prefers getting forehead and cheek kisses though because she likes the domesticity of it.

Kieran likes to kiss their S/O behind their ears and on their shoulders. They prefer forehead and neck kisses though because they enjoy the intimacy.

Talon’s End Devlog: August 2024

I thought August would be less busy than July, but that unfortunately turned out not to be the case! I'm hoping to have the first AU extra finished in the first half of September, so there should be some good stuff coming for the small but vocal group of werewolf!Hawk enthusiasts. Modern AU Shea and deities AU poly will come a bit later on.

I've also returned to TE proper to take an editing pass on what I have written for the autumn festival. I'm expecting to do some major streamlining of what I have to focus more on quality and flow over quantity. It's still going to be a hefty update! Just hopefully more manageable to write and more enjoyable to play.

No spoilers this time! Instead, since I've been thinking about TE and lycanthropy, please enjoy this (not very serious) list of the ROs and MC's siblings(-in-law) as what lycanthropes they would be, purely based on vibes:

The Interview - Chapter 19

The Interview - A Captain America Fanfic

Masterlist PREVIOUS //

Rating:  E

Warnings: smut (M/F, vaginal sex)

Pairing: Steve Rogers x OFC Melody Danes

Word Count: 2873

Summary:  Melody Danes gets the break of a lifetime when as a lowly intern, she’s assigned to write a profile piece on Captain America.  Steve Rogers is a hard man not to fall for and as she and Melody get closer and Melody’s career takes off, jealousy leads to sabotage, and the potential to bring her whole world crashing down.

Chapter 19

There were two months of what Melody could only describe as pure bliss.  Work was exciting and fulfilling.  She was loving her home life.  She was getting more time to have a life outside of paying bills and was making time for hanging out with friends and starting new hobbies.  She’d been going out on group dates with her, Steve, Bucky, Bobbi, Matthew, and Sam.  They were quickly becoming a new family group and she hoped they all worked out because she’d hate to lose those dinners.  Best of all, things between her and Steve were calm and it felt like they’d reached some new milestone in the relationship that she couldn’t quite name.  It was more domestic and yet felt deeper.  They had started to talk about their futures more.  It wasn't intentional sit-down and talks about getting married and having kids and what religion they planned to raise them.  It was more that they casually dropped those things into other conversations like they were inevitable.  Steve had mentioned wanting to take her to Europe sometime.  She had said something about what they’d kids would look like.  They’d both casually mentioned parts of town they’d like to move to together.

Melody had never felt so on the same page as someone before.  Every relationship she’d had up until Steve, she’d felt the ticking clock counting down to the end of the relationship.  She did not doubt that Steve was for keeps and she’d debate whether or not to take him home to meet her parents.

It was a tricky situation.  Her relationship with her parents had been strained since she and Bobbi came out.  They still talked but it was much more shallow than it used to be.  They never asked if she was seeing anyone and conversations about Bobbi were usually fairly shallow.

“I love that you are mad at them on my behalf,” Bobbi said when Melody brought the topic up with her.  “But if you want to take Steve back to meet your parents, you should do it.  You know they love you, and I even know they still care about me.  But they’re just having trouble coming to terms with the fact that we’re not who they thought we were.  I plan to take Bucky back home, at the very least to meet Stella, Isla, and Ro.  Hopefully, my Mom and Dad will want to meet him too.  I live in hope.”

“Yeah, but I thought they were people that they showed they weren't too,” Melody said.  “Why do I have to be the bigger person? It’s their job to accept me how I am.  Not the other way around.”

“Think about this then,” she said.  “What if you and Steve end up getting married?  Would you want that to happen without them there?”

She huffed and nodded.  “No.  I guess I’d want them to be there.”

“So do the trip.  Let Steve meet them,” she said.  “You don’t have to go easy on them about the stuff you’re mad about.  You can make sure they know that you’re bi and I’m trans and they need to get used to it.  But you aren’t going to mend any fences here ignoring them,” she said.  “Besides, if anyone could get through to them, it’s Captain freaking America.”

It had left Melody with a lot to think about and she’d decided that maybe before taking Steve home they needed a deep conversation about what they wanted in their lives.

She had met Steve for lunch at the diner they’d met for their first interview, though this time she was dressed far more casually than she had been back then.  He’d gotten there before her and when she’d come in and she’d caught his eye, his whole face lit up.  Melody wondered if he’d always look at her like that.  It made her feel like the most important person on the planet.

He stood before she got to the table and kissed her cheek, his hand running down her arm into her hand.  “You look beautiful,” he said.

She chuckled. “I’m in shorts and a T-shirt.  You’re just a flatterer.”

“Or maybe you’re always beautiful,” he said playfully.

She laughed, taking his hand and kissing his palm.  “You are so smooth.”

“That’s what everyone always says about me,” Steve joked, running his hand along her jaw.

Melody picked up the menu and began to browse it.  “You know what I’m going to have today?” Steve asked.

She looked up at him over the menu.  “Pancakes?” she said hopefully.

“Well, no,” he said. “I want to get a Reuben. But - I will get it with a bowl of soup and a slice of pie à la mode.”

“Look at you,” Melody said.  “Sugar at lunchtime.”

“I know,” he said. “I’ll be all hyped up and then crash and need a long nap.”

Melody broke down into silent giggles, her shoulders shaking. “What an easy job you must have to be able to take naps in the afternoon.”

“Oh yeah,” Steve said.  “Piece of cake.  Anyone could do it.”

Melody hid her face as she broke down into laughter. Her leg bumped against his under the table.  He put his hand on hers and squeezed it.  “Do you know what you’re having?” he asked.

“I think I might go with the wild mushroom potato pancakes,” she said.

He smiled at her.  “Well at least one of us is getting the pancakes, even if they’re potato ones.”

“That’s what I thought,” Melody said.

Steve’s eyes flicked over the menu as they waited for the waitress to come over.  After they’d ordered and she took the menu away, he turned his full attention to her.  “I was considering that Thanksgiving lunch.  I think more out of novelty than anything.  Where else can you get whole turkey legs like that?”

“The only things I can think of are Disney and Universal Studios,” Melody said.

Steve looked startled at her answer.  “Really?”

“Yeah, they sell huge drumsticks so you can feel like a caveman,” she answered and mimed taking a bite of one.

He laughed.  “Is it weird that I’m more tempted to go to a theme park because of that than I would have been otherwise?”

“Well yes, because you don’t like eating in front of strangers,” she said.

Steve laughed hard, his hand going to his chest.  “That’s true.  Maybe all I needed was the ability to eat turkey legs like a caveman.”

Warmth bloomed in Melody’s chest and she linked her fingers with his under the table.  She wished they were sitting on the same side of the booth because she wanted to snuggle right into his side.  Seeing Steve as relaxed and happy as this felt like a blessing reserved just for her.

“Speaking of Thanksgiving,” she said.  “Did you have plans?”

“Not really,” he said.  “I sometimes go down and spend it with Sam and his sister.  Sometimes the team spends it together.  A lot of us don’t have families, so it just depends on if anyone else takes pity on us.  Though I was hoping I’d spend it with you this year.”

She wrinkled her nose at him playfully.  “Really?  I was hoping that too.”

“I figured that’s why you asked.  Would it be with Bobbi too?” he asked.  “You, me, Bucky, and Bobbi.  That could be fun.”

“No Sam and Matt?” she asked.

“Well, Sam will be going to his sister,” Steve said. “But don’t tell Matthew, I think Sam wants to take him home to meet her.”

“Oh, I hope Mattie can do it,” she said. “He is so into Sam.”

“That feeling is very mutual,” Steve said.

She leaned over the table, taking Steve’s hands.  “I’m so into you,” she said.

He smiled and leaned into her.  “That feeling is mutual too,” he said, pecking her lips.

They were interrupted by the waitress with their coffees.  They sat back in their seats and Steve thanked her as she filled their cups.  She blushed a little and mumbled something about it being her pleasure before leaving them alone again.

“So was it with Bobbi?” he asked.

“Well…” she said. “Maybe.  I just wanted to float the idea of taking you home to meet my parents.”

Steve blinked at her, the surprise written all over his features.  “I thought you were estranged.”

“Well, yes.  Kind of.  We don’t talk a lot and when we do it’s very shallow,” she said.  “But they are my family, and I think we’re serious.  Right?  We’re in this for the long term?”

Steve looked at her confused.  “Yes.  Of course.  I didn’t even know that was a question.”

“I just want to make sure we’re on the same page, because going home is stressful.  I want you to meet them if you want to meet them.  But also to introduce them to the person I plan to spend the rest of my life with.  So I just want to make sure that’s where you think we’re going too,” she explained.  Steve opened his mouth to say something and she held up her hand to stop him.  “I know you love me.  And this isn’t about pressuring you.  I don’t expect this conversation to end and for you to start looking for engagement rings.  I just want to make sure that we have all our cards on the table so that in a few years we don’t end up finding out that our ideas of having kids are completely different and it’s a deal breaker.”

A soft smile crossed Steve’s face and he reached over, taking her hands again.  “Wow, you have been overthinking this a lot haven’t you.”

“Well, here’s the thing,” she said.

The waitress chose that moment to bring over their food.  It took a moment for her to put out the plates and top up their coffees.  She was definitely enjoying her opportunity to talk with Steve.  Not that Melody could fault her.

Steve thanked her and told her everything looked great and once again she blushed before she left them alone.

“She’s really star-struck,” Melody said.

“She’s being very sweet,” he said.  “She’s really trying not to let it affect our experience.  I’ve had people try to insert themselves into my meal.”

She laughed.  “I hope not literally.”

Steve wrinkled his nose and bared his teeth. “God, I hope not too.”

Melody let her laughter taper off as she cut up her potato pancakes and Steve pulled his sandwich closer and tore it in half.  “What were you saying?” Steve asked.  “About why you were overthinking taking me home?”

She sighed and took a bite of her food as she gathered her thoughts again.  “Okay.  I knew Bobbi was trans long before she came out to anyone else.  She was scared of telling her parents.  They’re not conservative… but they were pretty traditional about gender roles.  We were never ever worried about my parents accepting us.  They were always really outspoken about LGBT rights.  So when Bobbi came out, her parents told her they didn’t want her in the house living a lie and corrupting her sisters.  We knew - we didn’t even doubt for a second - that my parents would let her stay with us.  But when we came to ask, there was a lot of stammering and making excuses.  Our moms are really close, that’s why we call each other cousins.  So we thought maybe she didn’t want to do that in case it upset Bobbi’s parents and she’d lose the friendship.  Eventually, Mom settled on them maybe having a point and that Bobbi should think about how she was affecting everyone else.  I got really pissed.  I was so angry at them.  I said that this was who Bobbi was and that she was our family and they needed to accept that about her, and I yelled at them. I asked if they’d feel the same way if I brought home a girlfriend.  They didn’t take that well either.  They said don’t be stupid and that I’d always had boyfriends.  They couldn’t even fathom the thought that I could be bi and told me I was just trying to hurt them and it was just a phase.  I couldn’t believe it.  Bobbi and I went and stayed in our car that night.  Bobbi couldn’t stay in a women's shelter, but she made me stay in one for a couple of nights.  Then found a friend we could couch surf with until college started.”

Steve had listened carefully through the whole story, and he’d taken her hand and held it as she spoke.  “I’m so sorry, honey.  For both of you.  That must have been such a letdown for you.”

She nodded and took a breath.  “So if I bring you home to meet them, it’s going to be a thing.  They’ll think they were right about it being a phase or just me trying to hurt them.”

“So you want to be sure that I’m here for the long run,” he finished for her.  “Well, I can tell you, I think about my future and you’re a part of that.  I do want to get married one day.  I don’t know what you think about that.”

“I think that - if I was in love with someone and they didn’t want to get married, that wouldn’t be a deal breaker, but I would love to get married,” she said.  “And if I think about us in the future, we’re married.”

He smiled and lifted her hand and kissed it.  “Me too.”

They took a moment, just looking at each other.  His gaze was so full of love that it was almost overwhelming.  She leaned over the table and stole a kiss.  His hand went to her cheek, holding her there for a moment longer than she’d intended and when she sat back she smiled at him.

“Where would we live?” she asked.

“I keep picturing us in Brooklyn,” he said. “Is that weird?”

“Well, it’s where you think of as home,” she said.  “So no.  That’s a bit of a move from here though.”

“It is.  Would you do it?” he asked.

“I think so.  If we found somewhere we both liked that we could afford,” she said.  “It’d be a bit of traveling for work, but I think we could handle that.”

“It’d be a nice place to raise kids.  We’d be more likely to be able to afford a place with a yard,” he said.

Melody had her fork halfway to her mouth and her face broke into a huge smile.  “You’ve thought about us having kids?”

He nodded.  “Yeah. I’ve thought about it.  I get scared sometimes.  I feel like the work I do - it doesn’t exactly lend itself to a family life.  But I must want it because I think about it so much.”

“I feel like I could be happy without them,” she said.  “But I do want to be a mom.”

“Yeah,” he said.  “I think that might be a good way to describe how I feel.”

Melody finished up her pancake and took a sip of her coffee.  “Do you want to go to Oregon with me for Thanksgiving and meet my parents?”

“I’d love to,” Steve said.

The waitress came over and topped up their coffees again and when Steve finished his soup and sandwich she brought his pie.  Steve shared it with her and they ate together talking about much less serious topics.  The stress she had felt had melted away and while she knew it would come back later when it fully hit her about the logistics of taking Steve Rogers home to meet her parents, for now, she was just happy to feel so safe where she was with Steve.

Her stress returned much sooner than she’d expected, because when they stepped outside the diner they were immediately surrounded by a wall of press, filming, taking photos, and calling out to them.

It was the first time they’d ever been swarmed by the press.  Up until now, there were just vague rumors they were dating and no one seemed to care.  Melody had spent enough time around celebrities to be used to this level of intense press scrutiny, but this was the first time she’d ever been blindsided by it.  She recognized many of the faces in the crowd, including a couple of the celebrity gossip reporters from the Daily Bugle.  The invasion of privacy from her own workplace made her blood boil.

“Shit,” Steve cursed.  “We were having such a good run.”

He shielded her body, putting his arm around her shoulders and using his bulk to hide her from the cameras, and began to muscle his way through the crowd.  “I’m sorry, honey.  I figured they’d get us one day.  I wonder if it was the waitress who told them.  Maybe she heard us talking about getting married and having kids?”

“Maybe…” Melody said, but she wasn’t so sure.  It was possible of course.  She had been excited that she was serving Steve and it could be that she’d spread the word out of excitement.  Somehow Melody doubted it.  This, she felt, might be her fault.

La verdad es que sí me siento bien mal por Pepito y q!Roier :(.

Realmente me gustaría que los otros padres entraran porque siento que podrían ayudarlos a ambos, pero al mismo tiempo sé que los CC tienen sus tiempos y realmente lo respeto :D! Es solo que no se me ocurre otra idea on-rol para que ayuden a Pepito O-(-(

(ola! yo hablo español fluidamente, así que siéntete libre de enviar preguntas en español si así lo deseas. principalmente escribo en inglés ya que este sitio es muy angloparlante)

sí, la verdad es que la situación es increíblemente triste. qroier perdió todo su sistema de apoyo. está solo e inestable. lo ha estado durante semanas desde que su propio marido empezó a volverse inestable. creo que las cosas podrían mejorar para pepito una vez que sus otros padres aparezcan o al menos qroier se dé cuenta de que lo que está haciendo está mal y no está pensando correctamente. es una dinámica triste pero es una que es real y no debería ser minimizada por ninguna de las partes.

espero que un dia qroier pueda curarse de todo su dolor. espero lo mismo para pepito y que pueda vivir la vida que merece <3

(honestly getting asks and seeing posts in spanish makes me very happy. idk if you saw but there was a post that analyzed qroier and whats been going on and it was completely in spanish and i was like !!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!! so if you don’t feel confident voicing your thoughts in english thats okay theres a lot of spanish speakers here lurking in the shadows that’ll love to see what you have to say🫶)

Since I spent like 3 hours researching I thought I would share with you my own little head cannon about what subspecies the pack is

Claire -Northwestern Wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis) Or sometimes called the Mackenzie Valley wolf. They are among the largest wolves in the world, with males typically tipping the scales at an average of 124 lbs (56 kg).

Beth-Eurasian Wolf (Canis lupus lupus) Is a notable subspecies of wolf that inhabits various regions of Europe and Western Asia and weighing in at an average of 86 lbs (39 kg).

Ro- Red Wolf (Canis Lupus Rufus) They are a highly endangered species of wolf that is native to the southeastern and Midwestern regions of the United States. Also In terms of size, the red wolf falls between that of a coyote and a gray wolf

Tristan- Indian Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes) is a small subspecies of wolf that can be found throughout India, as well as certain regions of Pakistan and Iran. Indian wolves are highly adaptable and can thrive in a range of different habitats.

Isla- Steppe Wolf (Canis lupus campestris) A fascinating subspecies of wolf that is commonly found throughout the Caucasus, including parts of southern Kazakhstan and northern Ukraine.

Simon- The Gray Wolf(Canis Lupus) is the most well-known and widespread species of wolf in the world. adults can range in weight from 18 to 80 kilograms (40 to 175 pounds) and have a biting force of almost 400 pounds

These are some INCREDIBLE species claims for the characters!!! This was so cool to read, thank you for taking the time to do so much research, it is very much appreciated!

OMG!! THE DRABBLE!! it's finally here!!! its really rushed and not very long (559 for ivy's, 560 for ian's). i wish i could make it the best quality i can due to the wait, but that'd be even more waiting time and i just don't wanna make you guys wait even longer!!

so... please accept this from my humble hands....

Ivy:

Dusk seeps into the air, painting ribbons of colors across the sky and glowing down onto the city below. The sun shines the earth in a divine golden hue as a kiss goodbye while the moon rises to take its place.

Although the time, the heat is still blistering, beating down on the people that litter the downtown streets. Kids play in the small puddles formed in the wedges between the road and sidewalk, teens lean on the side of walls, and adults walk out of stores, bags in hand.

Isla steps out from an antique jewelry store, one of her hands covering her pocket. She slips around people and eventually stands in front of a medium-sized, worn-down house. Its walls are stripped of most of its paint, and vines coil up and around it. The few windows are boarded up with planks of rotten wood.

She walks onto the cracked driveway up to the door and jumps when a voice speaks from beside her: "Ew, you're back?"

She relaxes when she processes the familiar voice, an easy smile pulling her lips up while she turns to face them. An ivory-skinned girl with jet-black hair sits crisscrossed on a rocking chair that squeaks each time she moves.

"Hi, Ivy," she greets, walking closer as she grabs something out of the pocket she was covering, "I got you somethin'." She holds it out in front of her. It's a black steel ring with tiny red gemstones that glisten in the setting sun.

"What the hell?" Ivy mutters, taking the item in. "How much was it?" She asks, snatching it from Isla's hands to observe it better. "Free. I stole it," she grins, her eyes crinkling.

"You didn't have to do that," Ivy reassures despite the fact she's slipping it onto her middle finger, which already has a simple black ring adorning it. "You're right, I didn't have to. I wanted to, though," Isla inclines forward, fingers landing on Ivy's shoulder. "Think of it as a birthday present."

She quickly shrugs the touch off before speaking, "It's not my birthday," she grumbles, turning her head to squint at her like she's stupid. She probably is in her mind, anyway.

"You don't know that. It could be," she shrugs. "Thank you," Ivy says lowly, her eyes moving back to the ring. Isla's grin widens, "What was that?" She questions, leaning forward dramatically.

"God, you're annoying," Ivy groans, pushing her back, "Last time I try to be nice to you," she adds with a roll of her eyes. "No, it's not," she hums. "Is everyone inside?"

"Yeah, and they're being loud," she huffs, leaning back on the chair, her gaze still wandering around on the ring. "Is that why you're out here?" Ivy nods, glancing up at her. "Do you want me to stay here with you?" Ivy's eyes soften at the question before she lifts her shoulders into a shrug. "I don't care what you do," she mutters. "But where would you sit? There's no more chairs."

Isla blinks at her, looking around incredulously, "…On the floor?" She replies. "No," Ivy shakes her head, already getting up, "Sit here."

"Aw, thanks," Isla runs her hand down Ivy's arm as she passes. "I knew you loved me." She's graciously given another eye-roll, "That's hope talkin', believe me when I say I don't."

"Liar."

Ian:

Dusk seeps into the air, painting ribbons of colors across the sky and glowing down onto the city below. The sun shines the earth in a divine golden hue as a kiss goodbye while the moon rises to take its place.

Hey 👋 I am a new, who is excited to read your story, and meet the ROs ( i am in love with Law)

Anyways if you haven’t already answered this before, how would the ROs react to the Mc saying that they(ROs) were in their dream while blushing and can’t keep eye contact?

Rbglish isn’t my first language, so if something is wrong, sorry.

/ have a good day/night 🫶

Hi Anon! and welcome fellow Law Romancer ^^ Also I didnt even notice that its not your first language too, you're good 🥰. Thank you for the support <33

ROS reacting to MC dreaming about them:

Assuming MC and the ROs are both in the crushing stage 🫢

Diesel: Would raise his eyebrow at you in amusement before grinning. "Oh? What kind of dream is it?" He'd ask you, clearly pleased at seeing your blushing face. He won't stop teasing and pestering you to admit, and when you do, he'd be worked up but won't say it. "You should dream only of me."

Seth: Blush and fold!! "You dreamt about me?" Would also panic at seeing your reaction. "Well to be fair, I had a lot of dreams about you too." He'd confess, his hand rubbing the back of his nape, avoiding eye contact. Seth avoids speaking more of it because he is afraid he might say too much about it but nonetheless someone is going to sleep elated.

Az: "What dream was it?" He'd genuinely ask but seeing your reddening face and you can't seem to look at his face would get some ideas in his head. "W-well that's completely normal." Az would say, assuring you and you can't help but notice him stutter and his ears a bit red, since you've started spending time with him this was the first time you've seen it. "...especially now we're always working together." He quietly continues, still not looking and something the way he says it, suggests its not only you dreaming about him. Could it be he had dream about you too?

Grant: "Interesting..." He'd just say, he won't say anything more but with the way he was looking at you feels like something in him changes. You'd notice him be more clingy towards you and gets your attention. Starts dropping more hints that he likes you.

Leon: "Then I hope it was good dream." He'd say, smiling at you softly but seeing your reaction gets him flustered. He clears his throat awkwardly. "It's fine, its normal to dream about... that" Although, he is curious and interested but won't ask you more about it. Leon is secretly pleased you dreamt about him and it makes his day.

Markus: He grins at your reaction. "Please, I have all day. Tell me all about it." Markus would be elated and even light heartedly joke with you. "We can make that a reality, if you want. I'd be happy to provide you any service."

Dom: Would reassure you that its fine to dream about him but deep inside is freaking out. You had dreams of him?! Has so many questions. "Do- do you want to talk about it? I mean, no pressure of course" but is dying to know. You may have occupied his mind but now he can't deny it anymore.

Isla: Teases you about it when seeing your reaction and when she sees you had enough of her teasing bc it makes you so shy, she'd tone it down or try to differ the conversation to her. "You know I had a dream once that you were very jealous when I was dating an ex..." She smiles at seeing your pouting lips, she taps it with her finger lightly, she stares back at your eyes, longingly. "-and it made me happy that you wanted me." The last line has you almost holding your breathe.

Conrad: "Hey, no need go get shy." He smiles at you affectionately. Conrad pulls your hand away from your face to get a good look of you. "Hearing you say you dream of me makes me so damn happy and to be fair you're a dream come true to me." You almost snickered at his flirtation attempt and almost pull away but Conrad gently stops you. "What? Its the truth!" You shake you head at his antics sometimes but its one of the reason you've been enamored to him.

Law: He invited you for a dinner at his place, sitting down in his expensive sofa, nervous you'll spill your drink but he only rolls his eyes at you playfully, "Its just a drink. It'll be easy to clean them."

Which still didn't help as you're even more nervous, you blurt out your dream of him that starts like this and somehow it spiraled to you almost confessing to a direction of the said dream that you've swear to bring with you to the grave, you look back to see Lawrence only staring at you in turn before blinking rapidly, he turns to his head to the side, covering his mouth with the back of his palm and you almost wanted the ground to swallow you up, waiting for him to laugh or make fun of you, so you looked down on your lap and waited for a sound but he didn't.

Curiously, you raised your head slowly to see him in the same position but he was now looking at you. You raised your eyebrows to see him openly blushing. It was the first time to see him like this. All because of you? You can't help but urge to tease him, you start to grin.

"Don't."

He warns you, dropping his hand. "Or what?" you answer back lightly and he starts smirking, getting close to you, causing your grin to drop, oh no. Law smirking is never a good combination for you (and your heart)

"I'll kiss you."

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

note and an update:
