Javier Peña x GN!Reader

Word count: 1600 Warnings: soft!Javi, self-deprecating!Javi, one (1) mention of (rough) love-making

A/N: Day 5 of the December Writing Challenge by @honeymandos​! ❤️ This takes place after season 3. Javi deserves some rest and lots of love!

-----------------------------------------------------------

The streets of Laredo are bathed in colours, dozens of Christmas decorations adorning the shops and houses around you. Their lights are blinking in ever changing rhythms and festive music plays in the shops as you pass them, your fingers laced with Javi’s.

Javi never really cared about Christmas a lot since he moved away from his family. He hadn’t really celebrated it in the past years, too occupied with hunting down Pablo and then the Cali cartel.

This year’s Christmas is the first time he’s properly celebrating it in ten years.

Sure, the two of you would always kind of celebrate it together. But it was not enough, he knew that. He felt awful for keeping this away from you, knowing how much you loved Christmas. But he didn’t even have a break on the holidays. Work took him away from you for basically every day and it wasn’t really possible to celebrate a proper Christmas. But this year he was planning to go all out. Just for you.

Both of you have gone back to the States a few months ago, now that the Cali cartel had finally been shut down. You bought a house together and had decided to settle down, finally lay low and enjoy a life without danger lurking around every corner.

It took him a little while to get used to it, but now he’s enjoying it to the fullest. Every day with you is a blessing to him. He enjoys watching you dance around the kitchen in only his shirt and some undies while cooking. Gets lost in the way you scrunch your nose and frown, being the cutest thing he has ever seen, while being totally absorbed by a book. He enjoys doing absolutely nothing with you all day. You would lay in bed, your head on his chest, one leg draped over his lap and one arm laying in his stomach, gently caressing his skin.

These are his favourite days with you. In the past ten years he was never able to relax for a while, empty his mind and just lay around, not worrying about a thing. Now he can’t get enough of it. The two of you would talk about anything for hours, then make soft love, sometimes even rough if you’re in the mood for it. If you’re hungry you’d just order food, even twice that day because neither of you wants to move. You both relish in the presence of each other and he feels twenty years younger when he’s with you. He feels simply amazing since you two moved in together and it’s all just because of you.

Even back in Bogotá he could only go through it all because you were there to hold him together. Every day, when he came home, he would just hold you. Most of the times you were asleep already, but would snuggle into him and that was all he needed.

Your unique smell, the softness of your body against his, your quiet little snores, the gentle smile that you wore on your lips even while you were sleeping. All of you, it put him at ease and let him forget the horrors he faced every day. You were his anchor, and he was beyond grateful for having you in his life.

Now, as he walks next to you, one hand in yours and the other carrying several bags full of Christmas presents, he feels at peace.

He smiles at your expression of wonder and excitement, big eyes looking at all the decorations and things in the showcases, head moving back and forth, trying to take in as much as you can. The lights of the decorations make your eyes sparkle and he feels his heart swell with love and affection. It is a sight he would never tire of.

“Oh, baby, look at that!” you suddenly say, pulling him towards a showcase that is not decorated too much. Artificial fir branches hanging from the ceiling and laying in the showcase, adorned with silver baubles and simple white fairy lights. The two of you stop in front of it and Javi looks inside to see what you are so giddy about.

It is a black leather jacket, quite similar to the one he owns, but more modern.

You look up at him with a big smile. Both of you know his jacket is well-worn by now, old, the leather breaking in some places. And it got a little tight around the middle.

He looks at the price and gently shakes his head at you before pulling you away from the shop, further down the road. It is too expensive and he’d rather buy something nice for you. He wants to spoil you absolutely rotten after you had to waive all those years, because of him.

You pout but walk next to him, looking at all the other shops.

After a while you tell him to go look for a place to eat dinner at, that you would go back to that one toy store because you forgot something for your niece that you had seen in the showcase while walking past it. He presses a soft kiss to your lips before you go back and he turns to look for a restaurant.

Under no circumstances would you allow him to be selfless any longer. He had given you all he had, even when he was at his lowest and now, he wouldn’t stop this.

You enjoy giving him anything he needs and wants, the affection in his eyes would never fail to make your heart beat three times faster and your smile to almost split your face in half. He is your everything and you would spoil him just like he spoils you. He deserves it.

You know he will keep the old jacket as well. It’s still in rather good condition and would just need a little bit more care. But, and you admit that this might sound a bit selfish, you don’t want him to get rid of his little belly. It’s cute and soft and you love to put your head on it. You adore his laughs when you would blow raspberries on it and his shivers while letting your fingertips gently glide over the soft skin. It’s a sign of him finally getting the quiet life he deserves.

So you go back to that shop and buy the jacket. You don’t care about the price, all you can think about is the smile he would try to suppress at your stubbornness and the knowledge that he would be happy about the present, even if he won’t say it. But you knew. Because he would show you instead of saying it.

Around 15 minutes later you walk back down the street, looking around to see where he is. Javi stands in front of a Chinese restaurant a bit further down the street. You make your way over to him and then stand right in front of him, causing him to smile down at you before he gently kisses your lips. You hum and your smile widens.

“Got what you were looking for, mi amor?” He looks down at the bag in your hand and frowns.

“That doesn’t sound like a toy store. Hm, weird.” He stares at the bag and his brain rattles. The name, he had read it somewhere today.

When his brain finally finds the answer, he looks at you with his eyebrows furrowed.

“Tell me you didn’t.”

“I did” you say, softly cupping his cheek with one hand.

His sighs and looks down at the ground.

“It’s too expensive. I don’t de-“ You press a finger to his lips, silencing him.

“Baby, you deserve the world. You went through hell and back. And you still managed to spoil me and give me everything you had. You gave and continue to give me the world and under no circumstances will I ever let you be selfless again.” You gently kiss his lips and he closes his eyes.

“You didn’t have to…” he says and then opens his eyes again to look at you. They glisten with unshed tears.

“But I wanted to. I know Christmas is not about money and tons of presents. The past Christmases have all been wonderful still, because I had them with you. We could live in a shack, with no money whatsoever. No tree, no presents, nothing. And it’d still be the best Christmas because I’d have you. Because I know you love me as much as I love you. That’s more than I could ever ask for. But I want to gift you things. Because it brings me joy when you open them and you look at me like I’m an angel sent from heaven” you whisper against his lips.

“That’s because you are” he whispers back, a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. You giggle softly.

He presses his forehead against yours, nuzzling your nose with his.

“I’m grateful for you. I know you know that, but I want you to hear it too. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. Without you I wouldn’t be the man I am today. And I will be forever grateful for your gentleness, your patience and your love. You are an angel sent from above. And whatever greater power there is, they sent you to rescue me. And you did just that.”

Tears fill your eyes and you gently caress his cheek.

“We rescued each other, mi alma.” You say before pressing your lips to his.

mi amor = my love

mi alma = my soul

As always, lemme know what you think, lovelies! ❤️

#7 having a phone call from the non sexual from of intimacy list - luke & charlotte

It’s been a long time since he’d been in this spot. Maybe in his early twenties when he’d be away from Scarlet, he’d find himself here. But there’s something about the open planes and the smell of the grass that makes him nostalgic for something wholesome.

“Hey bud,” There’s a voice behind him, and he turns around.

His dad’s finally looking like he’s aging. For a long time he’d looked like he’d been preserved in a glass case, forever thirty-three. But maybe it was the loss that did that. Froze him in time to the moment Mom got shot and he didn’t age until he found peace with it. Moved on.

Moved on in the shape of a six foot tall woman named Terry who looked a little bit like Sandra Bullock. She knits and goes to church every Sunday and calls her kids once a week to tell them everything they’ve missed in this bum-fuck town. She also sends Luke brownies on his birthday and he has no idea why they taste so good, or what she puts in them to make them hold up so well through postage.

But Dad’s happy and that’s all that matters.

“Hey,” Luke’s got his hands in his pockets, squinting from the light shining in from the hallway.

It’s not his childhood house. Dad moved out of there a long time ago. Both he and Terry work pretty good jobs, they were able to find some contemporary place on the edge of town. Big windows, hardwood. Modern. But how they built modern in the eighties.

“We’re all going to watch a movie downstairs. The kids picked.” He smiles. “I made the mistake of telling them about your famous popcorn and now they wont stop begging for it.”

Luke can’t help the lopsided smile on his features when his dad brings it up. Both of Terry’s kids have kids of their own. They’re cute. They call him Uncle Luke which makes his chest ache in a way he never thought it would. And his step siblings are nice. They don’t ask too many questions. The last time he saw them was when he went home after getting out of the hospital. Terry hovered a bit too much and her kids came by for dinner. One of his first meals in years he hadn’t cooked himself. It wasn’t too bad.

“Maybe in a bit.” He nods, looking at his dad. It’s hard to resent the man for years of neglect when really, he was doing what he could with the pain left at his front door. It’s not his fault Mom died. Not his fault he couldn’t handle losing her.

“Okay, bud.” He pats the door frame. “Happy to have you home.” Luke catches his smile in the light. It’s good to see it.

The man turns the corner and slides the door so it’s half shut, light still leaking in. Luke turns back around to sit on the edge of the bed, looking out the big floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the massive flat planes in front of their property.

He digs out his phone. He stares at the screen for a moment before he taps the button, holding it up to his ear.

It rings four times. By the fifth, he wonders if he should just hang up.

“I can’t come over.” It’s the first thing she says, and he can tell she’s tired. “It’s eleven-thirty.”

“Have you ever been the Wyoming?” He doesn’t answer Charlotte’s question, he just stands back up, stepping closer to the window.

There’s silence on her end, and she speaks. “I haven’t. Why?”

“I grew up thinking it was the most boring place on earth. Now I think I’m sort of getting the appeal.” He leans his arm against the window, watching the wind blow through the long grass.

“So you’re going to be moving out to Wyoming then?” She speaks the words slowly, still confused.

“No,” He presses his lips together. “I think I’m just appreciating things differently now.”

“Why are you calling me, Luke. I have to be up early in the morning.” She’s getting impatient with him. “Are you drunk?”

“I’m not drunk.” He looks down at the driveway where his rental car is sitting. Terry only keeps wine in the house and they drank it all last night. If he wanted some, he could get some. “I just wanted to talk to you.”

“To tell me you appreciate Wyoming?”

“To tell you I appreciate you.” He finger presses into the glass. He knows in his career life he’s moved at a mile a minute. But with Charlotte everything’s been so slow. So chaotic. There’s been yelling and bitter words and cold shoulders from both of them. But he likes when she speaks. Likes when she lays in his bed, or comes up next to him to try his breakfast in the morning. She likes her honesty and the way she laughs at his jokes. She doesn’t touch him with fear. She’s not repulsed by his body. She’s touched his scars not with some patronizing romanticism but with certainty.

“Oh,” She says after a few beats of silence. Luke’s not really sure what he’s trying to get out of sharing this. Maybe it’s that he’s not trying to get anything at all.

“I’m back home right now.” He continues, deciding not to wait for some type of answer. “I maybe come back once a year. Figured I’d come other than the holidays and see my old man.” He finger traces patterns in the glass, still a bit taken by the moonlight over the grass. Of being in the middle of nowhere. No cars. No trains. No people. Just this house. “I just spent all night wondering where you were, and what you were doing. I don’t know why. I think you just occupy my brain sometimes. And then I got back to my room after dinner and I kept looking out the window and--...” For once, he doesn’t know where his words were carrying him. “You ever just get the feeling of wanting to share something with someone?”

He can hear her swallow on the other end, followed by a, “Yes.” Which comes out a bit shaken, a bit breathless.

“I’ve had that feeling all weekend.” He steps back, sitting on the bed. Silence hangs between them. It’s thick. It holds onto them by the collar, and he wonders if her breath is caught just like his is. “I didn’t want to keep you long, you should go to bed if you’ve got an early morning.” He looks down at his lap. There’s a stain on the edge of his shirt. One he hasn’t noticed. How long has that been there? He always notices those right away.

“Yes,” She clears her throat. “I have to try Gianno’s Breakfast Diner in the morning.”

He hums. “I’ve heard they’re good.”

Silence wraps them again but this feels a bit more soft. It’s a touch to the cheek and he’s shivering.

“Will you call when you come back?” She asks, his hand shaking.

“If you’d like that.”

“I would.”

“Then I will.” There’s a lot of empty promises he’s made in his life time. But this was one he planned to keep. “Have a good night, Charlotte.”

“You too.”

When he hangs up, he sits there and stares out the window for what feels like hours. Watching the grass dance back and forth, it feels like it steady’s his heartbeat.

He gets up finally, squinting at the light from the hallway when he leaves the room. But he walks down the hall and slides open the door to the deck, where he steps out. It’s quiet. The crickets are loud in his hears and he’s pretty sure there’s owl somewhere, making itself known. The wind passes through the grass and the sound of green against green could put anyone to sleep. He lifts up his phone, turning on his camera, and capturing the moment for ten seconds. Stationary. With the grass moving in patterns to get lost in, and the bugs singing undying tunes to hear. He turns it off, and pulls up his chat box. He doesn’t send any caption with it. Just lets the shared moment speak for itself.

He goes back inside, tucking his phone into his pocket to be forgotten, and he trots down the stairs where the others have started their movie.

Five minutes with Steve

Steve was speechless. Speechless and a little annoyed. He flopped down on the couch in his living room and sighed heavily.

Maybe she was right, he thought, watching lazy snowflakes drift down from the bleak, grey sky.

XxX

“I miss home at this time of year,” you’d sighed, wistfully staring out of the open hangar doors, out of reach of the chill wind, but not really away from the November weather.

“Why this time of year? Leaves turning still where you grew up?” Steve had asked, his brow furrowing.

“No, usually there’s snow by now,” you explained. “That first snowfall of the year is so clean and pure. The air is crisp and your nose tingles from the cold. A little, but not too much. The snow is usually the big fluffy flakes, so it’s perfect for snowmen.”

“Sounds awful,” Steve had replied, and your faraway dreamy look vanished under deeply knit eyebrows. He realized too late that he’d hurt your feelings. He never had been good with women. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean -“

“Don’t apologize, Cap,” you’d interrupted, turning away. “I’m getting used to not fitting in.”

The hurt tone to your words was a kick to his gut and he was left, speechless and staring after you. You retreated quickly, never giving him a chance to see how deep his rejection had cut you.

XxX

The compound was surrounded by trees, and as the sun sunk low on the horizon, the snowflakes that had started falling in the afternoon picked up speed. The temperature dipped, and soon the snow started sticking, turning the manicured lawns white, obliterating all visible signs that this was the famed upstate compound where the Avengers trained and sometimes lived.

Your stomach growling finally drew you to the common kitchen, and you rummaged around in the freezer until you found something appealing. You started cooking and while the food baked in the oven, you sloshed a small amount of whiskey into a glass and sat down, watching the flakes dance to the ground.

“I owe you an apology.” Steve’s voice startled you and you nearly dropped your glass.

“You do,” you agreed.

“I wasn’t thinking about how much you liked this weather, and I insulted you. I’m sorry. I was lost in my story and forgot that you have your own.”

“I do,” you nodded.

“Care to tell me?”

“Maybe?” You smiled. He stood beside you and looked out across the snowy yard. S

“I was in the ice for a long time. Cold doesn’t do much for me,” he offered, the only excuse he would give.

“Yeah, that’s exactly it,” you nodded. “You didn’t do winter right. You went to sleep in an arctic glacier. That’s now how you enjoy this weather.”

“No?” He laughed.

“This is light a fire, make hot cocoa, climb under a fuzzy warm blanket and snuggle weather. It’s make snow angels in your jeans and come in with wet pants and strip down to stand in front of that same fire to warm up in your undies weather. It’s check out the holiday movies on Netflix weather,” you explained. “It’s think about the decorations and what you’re going to put out this year weather. And where’s the best place to hide the mistletoe weather.”

“We are still doing mistletoe after all these years?” Steve asked with a laugh. You nodded and headed back to the stove to check on dinner. “That smells good.”

“There’s enough for two,” you offered simply.

Steve looked at you and tilted his head. “I’m so sorry I hurt you. Maybe after we eat you can teach me how to make a snow angel?”

“Maybe,” you shrugged, still not completely warmed back up to him. He leaned in and brushed a gentle kiss against the top of your head.

“Maybe I could help you figure out where to hang the mistletoe too?” His voice took in a teasing lilt and you quirked an eyebrow at him.

“Maybe.” The tiniest smirk softened your mouth and Steve knew he’d won you over.

As a Kpop Idol

-oc: Cho Sanghee (last, first)

-stage name: Echo

-black hair —> brown hair

-hazel eyes

-company: CUBE

-members: 6

-roles: main dancer, lead singer, leader

-concept of group: creative

-group is popular after 2 years

-1st BTS member to notice Echo was J-Hope. He was intrigued by her casual, yet noticeable style and dancing.

-#1 fan is RM. He loves the way she composes the song lyrics and music. To him, she’s the backbone of her group, and everything she seems to do inspires him.

-The 1st member who asked for her number is RM. After exchanging numbers, they have coffee dates (as friends) and talk about their lives, careers, and futures.

-Jin is the member who fell at first sight for Echo. She’s his ideal type— she’s a hard worker, cooks, cleans, is organized, weird in her own way, and he thinks she’s cute and sexy.

-During BTS’ 1st meeting with her and her group, Soulmess, Suga was the one who hugged her 1st. Why? Even he didn’t know. He believed that she was a teddy, so he couldn’t ignore his bold feelings.

-V is the one who asked her out for dinner. 😱 What could this mean? Echo couldn’t reject his invitiation to food— and making a new friend. At first, that was what it was.

-After awhile of hanging out, Jimin and Echo become besties. They don’t hesitate to support and encourage each other. Jimin is the 1st boy idol she’s 100% comfortable with.

-The one who gives her advice and helps her with her serious problems is Suga. Even though he is sometimes rude to her (playfully mostly) and will reject the thought of giving her a hand with something simple, she knows that she can always rely on him. Suga may pretend to hate her, but he knows his limits.

-Her mentor is Suga (again lmao). Not only does he help her with her dilemmas, but he also helps with improving her music production and gives her tips for finding ideas faster.

-Echo and Jin enjoy taking selcas. She’s grown comfortable with him because they can be goofy and beautiful in their selfies and pictures. Furthermore, Jin is the one who encourages her to appreciate the way she looks. Fans are not sure if they should suspect if they’re secretly dating or not.

-Although Jungkook hates being called ‘oppa’, he forces Echo to call him that knowing that she hates calling other older boys ‘oppa’. After V introduced themselves to each other, they’ve acknowledged to each other as friendly rivals (in food, games, etc.)

-V and Echo are found having V-Live streams almost every time they visit each other. In their videos, they can be seen goofing off and laughing 95% of the time. You can tell they enjoy each other’s company, although there’s times where Echo is being a blank statue and V is still in his weirdo mode. Fans find it entertaining to watch.

-Despite their busy schedules, Jimin, Jungkook, and Echo have sleepovers from time to time. They do board games, Overwatch, watch movies, and have pillow fights. Jimin and Jungkook sleep on one bed while Echo sleeps on the other, which disproves of the rumors of them having a polygamist relationship.

-After awhile, fans suspect V and Echo dating. They continue to support and adore the ship, Taehee, by posting cute and funny moments they share onto a variety of social medias.

-J-Hope has become extremely protective of Echo. Other than the BTS members, he doesn’t let any other male idol approach her in any way. This is because he knows she was traumatized when an idol tried to rape her. (It was good he was there to save her :) Although she has mostly recovered from it, J-Hope can never forget that incident.

-To show his undying love for Echo as his family, Suga made a rap for her about how she was so annoying and somehow makes him smile.

Here: (Drive Thru, Idiot)

It’s definitely the concept bringin'

Handle it, got so far gone

What to say, I believe is my command

Nobody ever could handle me

Takin' notes and keys she said hi

I gave you reason to pretend

Feel now every time one time for love

That's where I need, she's my friend

How to jerk it 212 and 310

Lose myself to the smile

Won't you roll with me that's the time

Drive thru idiot... you idiot

You're gonna meet your destiny and with the uh

Uh 'cause that's how I feel

Breath away on the line roll back go roll

Freeze the line but I'm afraid, don't be influenced

How to jerk it 212 and 310

Lose myself to the smile

Won't you roll with me that's the time

Drive thru idiot... you idiot

Arms tonight I, I, I, I i could feel

The flame of her laughter down on the floor

Sleep ya body right here (referring to the couch), girl

To keep it— hush, no questions on warmest affection

How to jerk it 212 and 310

Lose myself to the smile

Won't you roll with me that's the time

Drive thru idiot, idiot... you idiot

-Jin is the one who anonymously sends Echo flowers. BTS and Soulmess already know it’s him except for the clueless Echo.

-Ever since Jin and Echo acted in a K-Drama together, they’re known as the K-Drama couple. Some fans began shipping them because of the heart shaking moments of the series. It was their first time officially becoming actors. Although Echo was 100% acting, Jin knew he didn’t have to.

-RM, J-Hope, and Echo spend their times together during a short holiday in Thailand. They take many pictures and videos of the sights and ridiculous moments of Echo and J-Hope being crazy.

-Eventually, it is proven that V and Echo are dating. Fans start demanding a K-Drama with Sanghee and Taehyung in it.

Most of this was inspired by a BTS video game or door or whatever you call it. Yee

[thetrashyvulpix-blog]

I want the following questions answered plz~ Luna/Dustin: 4, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 25, 34, 35, 40. AK/Ray: 4, 5, 8, 14, 32, 34, 36, 38, 41, 43. Salvus/Enya: 2, 13, 14, 25, 27, 31, 33, 34, 39, 40. Dorothy/Chris: 4, 5, 8, 11, 12, 26, 29, 34, 38, 41. Dashy/Garrett: 2, 7, 12, 13, 25, 30, 34, 35, 39, 45.

Luna/Dustin:

4. Who wakes the other one up with kisses?

Dustin. Whenever Dustin happens to be up first, he wakes up Luna with kisses. Whenever Luna gets up first... N-Next question.

8. Who sleeps in their underwear (or naked)/ Who sleeps in their pajamas?

I haven’t even looked ahead at all the questions yet but I’m going to assume Dustin gave this ship tons of the lustful questions. XP Luna always has some sort of nightgown, and I can see Dustin sleeping in boxers. Luna probably switches things up, though, depending on what she wants.

14. Who kills the spiders?

“DUSTIN DON’T KILL THE SPIDER HE’S MY FRIEND”

15. Who is scared of the dark?

Neither. Luna for obvious reasons. Dustin because he’s faced way worse than just some dark room.

21. Who has an obsession (over anything)?

Dustin has an obsession over his work. His questing, gathering lux, all of that stuff. It makes Luna worried a lot of the time, to the point where she has taken on his identity and done things for him without his knowledge.

22. Who goes all out for Valentine’s Day?

Dustin’s a sweet boy so he probably goes and does a lot for the two, but all Luna wants is his attention for the whole day~

25. Who wears the other ones clothes?

I can see Luna wearing some guy clothes from time to time if she’s having a lazy day around the house.

34. Who would wear “if lost return to…” t-shirt/ Who would wear “I am…” t-shirt?

This is the most fun question tbh.

“If lost, return to Luna.” “I am Luna.”

Get wrkt Dustin.

35. Who goes overboard on the holidays?

Dustin goes overboard on some of the holidays, but on Christmas Eve, Luna goes really overboard because she views Christmas Eve as this really romantic couple’s night, even better than Valentine’s Day.

40. Who is the fun parent/ Who is the responsible parent?

Dustin is responsible because Luna is too not responsible. And then if both of them aren’t responsible then Marine is responsible for them.

AK/Ray:

4. Who wakes the other one up with kisses?

Ray, probably, unless AK has miraculously woken up before him. owo;

5. Who usually has nightmares?

Ray, for sure. AK doesn’t understand them half the time but she does her best to help.

8. Who sleeps in their underwear (or naked)/ Who sleeps in their pajamas?

Ray probably sleeps in boxers, but AK tends to just wear a bra. She doesn’t wear much around the house anyway, fuck clothes, who needs clothes when you can watch anime in your undies. Damn straight.

14. Who kills the spiders?

Ray. Ray must defeat the terrible, terrible spider that torments his fair kitsune maiden.

32. Who likes to have really long (deep) conversation?

I think they both do. Ray has deep conversations whenever his fears over his darkness and what-not start popping up. AK starts deep conversations whenever she’s thinking about their future.

34. Who would wear “if lost return to…” t-shirt/ Who would wear “I am…” t-shirt?

“If lost, return to Ray.” “I am Ray.”

36. Who is the social media addict?

I don’t think either of them would be into social media. The most ‘social’ media AK has is her anime websites where she has accounts and argues with people online.

38. Who likes to star gaze?

AK loves the stars!~... For about one minute, before realizing she’s super bored.

41. Who cries during sad movies?

AK definitely does. She has to have Ray hold her for comfort because why did that need to happen goddammit ;w;

43. Who wins the stuffed animals at the carnival for the other one?

Ray wins anything that AK wants, and he does it with ease. Even if the games are rigged, Ray’s got skills...

Salvus/Enya:

2. Who is the big spoon/ Who is the little spoon?

Enya is clearly the big spoon. Salvus is clearly the little spoon. Case closed.

Nah but really, Salvus has this thing where he hugs Enya but as he does that he wraps his wings around her to protect her. It’s like a double-hug. Two hugs in one. nwn

13. Who is considered the scaredy cat?

Enya is very much the scaredy cat, but Salvus can get triggered (for once I am not using that term jokingly) by certain events or horrors, causing him to blank out or fall into some sort of mental relapse.

14. Who kills the spiders?

Salvus vs. Spider. The ultimate battle.

25. Who wears the other ones clothes?

I can see Enya wearing Salvus’s robe one time and being cute as fuck about it. Then Salvus catches her and she gets really, really super flustered.

27. Who takes a long shower/ Who sings in the shower?

They both have to take long showers for different reasons. Enya because she really likes being clean (except when she doesn’t), and Salvus because he has to get everywhere, including his wings. Enya probably sings in the shower sometimes~ And she’s great at it, even if she won’t admit it.

31. Who is more affectionate?

Enya, definitely. Salvus may be affectionate and loving, but Enya spends more time on it and basically devotes herself to him completely, which can be a little overboard at times.

33. Who would wear “not guilty” t-shirt/ Who would wear “sin” t-shirt?

Enya is not guilty ever. Salvus had to go through a lot of fucked up shit but I wouldn’t call him “sin”... Plus he can’t wear T-shirts. He’s a big ol’ Draconian. owo;

34. Who would wear “if lost return to…” t-shirt/ Who would wear “I am…” t-shirt?

Enya has a collar and she is very happy with it for whatever reason. Now she will never get lost!

39. Who buys cereal for the prize inside?

“Ooooh, I want the cute little robot toy!~”

“Ssssalvussss givessss it one hour until it breakssss. ewe”

40. Who is the fun parent/ Who is the responsible parent?

Because Enya can be easily walked all over, even by her own children, she’s more of the ‘fun’ parent, while Salvus is where all of the responsibility and discipline comes from.

Cafe OTP:

4. Who wakes the other one up with kisses?

Chris has recently decided that kisses are the best things ever, and as such, uses them if he manages to get up early enough. So he can use them on Kat. But not so much Dorothy, because Dorothy gets up way earlier than either of the rest of them, so she gets to kiss them both awake so they can get to work.

5. Who usually has nightmares?

Kat and Dorothy probably do have regular nightmares about the adventure and the fears from time to time... But Chris definitely has some really bad nightmares on a regular basis, if only because of... Well... His death...

8. Who sleeps in their underwear (or naked)/ Who sleeps in their pajamas?

I can see Dorothy sleeping in her underwear while Chris and Kat have cute little pajamas that they cuddle in.

11. Who likes horror movies/ Who likes romance movies?

Chris gets lots of inspiration for paintings from the romance movies, so I can see him loving them. I could see Dorothy having the slight morbid fascination with a certain horror movie here and there, but Chris and Kat would get waaay too scared about it.

12. Who is smol/ Who is tol?

Chris is about 5′9′’, so he’s the tallest. Dorothy is in the middle by only about one inch under Chris, and Kat’s an adorable smol even if she isn’t that smol.

26. Who likes to eat healthy/ Who loves junk food?

Chris loves candy. Candy is life. But Rosa makes him eat healthy because she’s basically his mom. Dorothy also makes him eat healthy because she’s the momfriend girlfriend.

29. Who is the better cook?

Dorothy knows a lot about making a good dish, but Kat would be a contender thanks to being an Apprentice and having grandpa Tip as a mentor for certain things. However, I actually think Chris would be the best cook if he put his mind to it, because culinary is an art form, and therefore his passive creation abilities would kick into gear.

34. Who would wear “if lost return to…” t-shirt/ Who would wear “I am…” t-shirt?

Kat and Chris both wear lost shirts. Dorothy has to wear the “I am Dorothy” shirt. XP

38. Who likes to star gaze?

Chris loves looking up at the stars for inspiration. Kat probably learned to appreciate stargazing from her parents, who love it. I don’t know about Dorothy, but if both of her partners enjoy it, she probably has fun, too.

41. Who cries during sad movies?

rip kat and chris

Dashy/Garrett:

2. Who is the big spoon/ Who is the little spoon?

Garrett is the big spoon, Dashy is the little spoon, mostly just because of the size differences. Also because Garrett is a surprisingly good cuddler.

7. Who sweats the small stuff?

Dash, definitely. Garrett is too chill to care about the small stuff, so he only gets worried if Dash is really, really worried.

12. Who is smol/ Who is tol?

Dashy is such a smol, Garrett is a total tol.

13. Who is considered the scaredy cat?

Dash is brave. Dash is strong. But OH FUCK IS THAT A BEAR!?... Otherwise, they’re both relatively brave, although certain headcanon events I can imagine Garrett becoming much more jumpy and scared at certain mentions of the past.

25. Who wears the other ones clothes?

Dash wears Garrett’s clothes from time to time, but they’re so big on her that it’s mostly for only if she’s having a lazy day around his home.

30. Who likes long walks on the beach?

Dash would be more for this than Garrett. Garrett’s idea of a romantic date is a rooftop dinner with really expensive foods that he definitely didn’t steal. owo; Also sometimes he has her watch MLP with him and eventually they both get super into it and binge the whole show together.

34. Who would wear “if lost return to…” t-shirt/ Who would wear “I am…” t-shirt?

They both have to alternate. They’re both dumb at times, although Dash probably wears the “I am....” shirt more often because she’s at least more responsible. XP

39. Who buys cereal for the prize inside?

“DASH, THEY LIED ABOUT THE MLP TOY. THIS IS A FUCKING TRANSFORMERS TOY, WHO CARES ABOUT TRANSFORMERS ANYMORE!?”

45. Who is more likely to get drunk?

Garrett doesn’t touch alcohol unless certain headcanon events  have occurred.If certain headcanon events have occurred, he sometimes downs a few beers to get himself to pass out and sleep, but Dash discourages this heavily. ewe

Shakespearean - Chapter 10 - Wally

AO3 | Wattpad | FanFiction

Chapter Summary:

What happens after dinner.

Alternatively, the before-they-share-a-bed-awkwardly part of the story where tension is resolved so they don't have to share the bed awkwardly (unfortunately. maybe I'll write that another time.).

Notes:

Okay, everybody, I know it has been a forever and a half since I posted last (it hasn’t actually been a whole month yet, but I definitely wasn’t counting at all). I am super sorry about that. I had a really rough month, and it actually had nothing to do with the holidays or anything. I had a lot going on, as usual, but I also had some crazy mental stuff going on, including realizing that I actually am depressed (I’ve been in denial for a while) and mentally debating about whether or not I should come out to anybody as bisexual. Depression’s a bitch, and being a gay Christian can be super hard guys. Especially in the Bible Belt, not gunna lie. Anywho, with a new year comes new motivation, and feeling accomplished makes me feel happy, so here’s the latest update for you guys! Remember, every fifth chapter is from a perspective other than Jay’s, and this one is from Wally’s! I hope you guys like this one, because, as I remember, writing Wally’s perspective was a lot of fun for me. Enjoy, frands! (And thanks for putting up with my impromptu and un-forewarned hiatus!)

Story:

Wally West was satisfied.

He was almost always satisfied when it was Alfred doing the cooking. That man knew what he was doing in the kitchen. He was a food ninja just as much as he was a regular ninja. It was one of the reasons why Wally loved coming over to Dick's house for dinner.

The main reason, though, was Dick, himself.

Dick was so awesome. He was so funny and super smart. He was proud and he was a little shit sometimes, but Wally liked that about him, too. Dick had a genuine desire to help people, too, as shown by his desire to be a social worker. Criminal Justice is a difficult field in itself, but social justice was a particularly difficult and financially unrewarding career. Wally was actually really glad that Dick had elected to put off starting his career until he had gotten his master’s degree. It gave him more time to be free and enjoy his youth before the hard life of a social worker sucked all the energy and joy out of him.

Not to say that Wally didn't think that it was a needed job or a fulfilling career. Between being such good friends with Dick and Roy and knowing people like Bruce Wayne, it would be hard for Wally not to have a certain understanding for how hard the world could be for people without good parents, or any parents, and he had a definite appreciation for the people who sacrificed their time to help the kids who suffered at the hands of the cruel world they all lived in.

But that didn't mean he didn't wish Dick had picked something... happier.

Once everyone had finished dinner, they all dispersed. Jason had collected his stuff and left for the night, Tim driving him home, Damian had been sent to his room since he still wasn't behaving, Conner and Cassandra (the cutest couple ever, in Wally's opinion) were chilling like they usually do, Clark had gone home to get ready for more classes tomorrow, and Babs was getting advice from Bruce about the case she was working on. Meanwhile, Wally and Dick had headed up to Dick's room.

"You staying over, Walls?" Wally knew Dick well enough to know that he wanted him to stay.

"Of course. As if I could pass up on the cinnamon rolls Alfred is almost certainly making for breakfast tomorrow."

Dick chuckled, shaking his head at Wally's undying love for food. They got to Dick's room and went inside, making Dick remember something. "Shoot, Walls. Damian was being a little turd and broke the roll-away bed you usually stay on. We haven't had time to get a new one to replace it." He surveyed the room, taking in the modest desk, queen size bed, and the comfortable chair in the corner. Dick was only living with Bruce until he finished his master’s degree, then he fully intended to get his own apartment. He didn't like depending on Bruce for anything, something that Wally could sort of understand but didn't really approve of. "I'll just sleep on the floor tonight," Dick decided, his internal martyr complex making its regular appearance.

Wally rolled his eyes. "You are not sleeping on the floor in your own home, Richie Rich. I'll sleep on the floor."

Dick crossed his arms stubbornly. "No way. You're a guest."

"Oh please, Dick. I practically live here at this point. I know your mansion better than I know my own apartment."

They both stared determinedly at each other for a good thirty seconds before Dick relented, sighing. "Fine, but you still aren't sleeping on the floor. Neither of us will."

"Then I'll take the chair."

"Nobody is taking the chair, Walls." Dick shifted his weight on his feet. "It's a queen size bed. If you're going to be too stubborn to let me be a good host, then we can share it. We're both skinny enough to make it work."

Wally tried not to let his nervousness show. Wally West sharing a bed with the Dick Grayson, arguably one of the most attractive and most eligible bachelors in all of Gotham City, was not the best idea. Mostly because Wally was hella gay and he'd had a huge crush on Dick pretty much since they'd met.

Still, what was he going to say? 'Nah, Dick, I think I'll just go home instead. I'm too straight to share a bed with my best friend for one night.' Because that doesn't just scream closeted gay.

And the cinnamon rolls, though. Those are important. Those are worth it.

"Okay, Dickie. You're the boss." He gulped noisily, hoping Dick didn't notice.

The two of them went about their nightly routines, brushing their teeth and changing into sleepwear. Wally would have been happy that they had sleepwear at all, except that Dick's was only pajama pants. He slept shirtless, all that glorious, lean muscle on display for Wally to drool over and dream about.

Wally hated his life.

They didn't go to bed right away, because they never do. They stayed up for a figurative forever, actually, talking, playing games on their phones, helping each other with the subjects that they were having a hard time with, etc. Dick had a bachelors in Criminal Justice, but his masters was in Social Work. That wasn't really one of Wally's strong suits, but he was good at the science part of it. He himself was working on a master’s degree in Chemistry, so he was pretty useful.

At one point, Cassandra came in to say goodnight. Wally had been working on his sign language for years, but languages in general didn't really come easy to him. At all. Even still, his consistent practice – and help from Dick and Cassandra – was paying off because he was able to have a pretty decent conversation with Cassandra. She wasn't deaf, so she could understand perfectly fine if he spoke aloud, but she loved it when someone took the time to communicate with her in her own language.

When the two of them finished up their conversation with Cassandra and she left for her own room _ without Conner, to the relief of both boys (they were understandably protective, even with someone as trustworthy as Conner) – Wally had gone back to his textbook, wanting to get some last bit of studying in before they inevitably went to bed for the night.

Before Cassandra came in, Dick had been watching a documentary on social work for one of his classes. When Wally realized that he hadn't played it again he looked up, eyebrows wrinkled in confusion. Upon doing so, he saw Dick looking at him with an unreadable expression. It was actually just a bit unnerving for Wally, who had long ago learned to read pretty much every emotion and thought Dick had. It was a by-product of being best friends since childhood, and the thought that Wally was losing his touch worried him.

"Dick, you okay?" Wally wasn't sure he would get an answer, and he wasn't sure he really wanted one either, but after a few seconds' hesitation, Dick responded.

"You've put an awful lot of effort into learning sign language, Walls."

Wally was no less confused than before. What did that have to do with anything?

Oh god. Please, please, please don't mean that Dick thought Wally had a thing for Cassandra. Please.

"She's your sister, Dick. Might as well be mine, too, so it just makes sense to try, right?" Wally really hoped that explanation covered it, because this was getting a little weird and a lot awkward.

"Really? That's why?" Dick didn't look as though he disbelieved him, but he didn't exactly seem to think that was the whole story either.

"Yeah," Wally said slowly. "Why else would I do it?"

Dick shrugged. "I don't know. It could just be that you're really nice. I wouldn't exactly put it past you to learn a language for pretty much anyone, honestly."

Wally squinted his eyes, his confusion growing. "Okay? So what's the problem?"

Shaking his head, Dick turned his chair back to facing his desk and looked back to his computer screen. "No problem. Not a one. Nope." He popped the 'p', telling Wally that he was most definitely, without a doubt, hiding something.

Rolling his eyes, Wally put down his text book and marched over to stand in behind Dick. "No. We are not doing this." He grabbed Dick's chair and spun it around to face him, placing a hand on the back of it by Dick's shoulder and leaning down to put his face in Dick's personal space. "If you don't tell me what's up then it's going to bother me for a small eternity. So what's bothering you?"

Dick kept his mouth shut and shook his head, refusing to say a word. Wally sighed and resorted to his last measure. The puppy dog face.

Eyes wide and innocent, lips turned down in a small, pouty frown, and overall expression looking downcast and dejected, Wally knew Dick would never be able to resist. Sure enough, after only seconds of eye contact, Dick caved, spewing everything out at once. "You're just a really nice guy, Walls, and it's so sweet that you've put so much effort into learning sign language for Cassandra even though she understands you when you talk and literally nobody minds translating what she says for you, and you're always doing nice things like that, Walls, that's just who you are. You're such a great guy and I love it, that's why I love you, and I just- oh shit," Dick shrank back from Wally, refusing to look him in the eye, apparently displeased with what he'd said.

Wally couldn't imagine why Dick would be upset about what he said. Wally thought it was beautiful. Still, if Dick was going to shy away from Wally, how was he going to kiss him? He raised his free hand and poked Dick's cheek. "Hey, Dickie?"

Dick shook his head, eyes downcast and expression regretful. That just wouldn't do. Wally moved his hand down to Dick's chin, gently coaxing him to turn his head and look at him. When he had finally managed to get Dick to meet his eyes, he smiled. "What was this I heard about you loving me?" Wally asked playfully.

Dick groaned and looked away again. "I didn't mean it like that, Walls. No homo, right? I just meant kind of like a brotherly love. Like family, you know?"

Wally snorted, refusing to let his doubt and insecurity win. "Liar," he said, and then he kissed him.

Dick was unresponsive at first, but Wally was patient, for once in his life. This one thing he wouldn't rush, because if he was wrong, if he had somehow gotten all the signs wrong or misinterpreted them out of wishful thinking, then he wanted to make the best out of this kiss. Just as Dick finally let himself loosen up and enjoy it, Wally pulled away. When Dick tried to follow his lips, Wally smiled triumphantly. "Right, but you don't love me or anything. We're like brothers. No homo at all."

Dick sighed in exasperation, leaning his forehead against Wally's. "Shut up, you sarcastic asshole." Wally decided to comply, but only because Dick kissed him again.

Somehow, Wally thought, as he straddled Dick's hips and ran his hands all over those glorious muscles, he really didn't think sharing that bed tonight was going to be that big of a deal.

(He was right. It was actually totally awesome. Dick was a fantastic kisser.)

Notes:

So what did you think? Worth the wait? A horrible disappointment? Not a fan of BirdFlash (not that I would take it out anyway, but still a nice poll to throw out there)? Thank you so much for keeping with my story and for reading it and (I hope) liking it! I’m a huge fan of comments and they always pick me up after a rough day, so don’t feel shy! I will love every word and letter! Have a lovely week, guys! Until next Tuesday, -author-chan

2016 Reflection

Three words that sum up my year: adventure, growth, and love. 

2016 was filled with many highs and lows. I graduated from UCLA - received visits from my best friends and family, spent the entire night reminiscing and decorating our caps. I rented my second apartment and spent the summer in it too. I turned 22 - celebrated with cake and flowers from friends, going clubbing and kayaking, a KBBQ outing with cousins, and a sushi dinner with a dear friend. I made it onto the Dean’s Honor’s List. I went on my first spring break road trip with the greatest friends - Monterey, San Francisco, and Yosemite for the first time and fell in love with it. I went to San Diego for the first time - Balboa Park, Coronado Beach, and Cuyamaca Peak (the greatest friends planned the entire trip). I attended my cousin’s wedding, and it was absolutely lovely. Spent fourth of July with the entire family in Minnesota. I started driving again. Went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my dad and little sister after so many years. I took part in Foundations, Dance Marathon, Bubble Run, UCLA’s Undergraduate Research Week, SPCN, Undie Run.

I was actively involved in TEACH - learned the ins and outs of administrative work and helped kiddos be the best and healthiest they can be. I joined Best Buddies and met some of the most accepting and resilient people who refuse to let their disabilities and others’ opinions dictate their potential. I was blessed to be paired with a remarkable woman who has endured so much, yet always finds a reason to smile. I spent most of my summer working with UCLA’s FSP Program - I got to facilitate learning, mentor inspiring incoming college freshman, and feel like I made an impact in their college experience. I partook in research and learned the importance of communication both in the healthcare setting and in my own work. I spent time volunteering and learning and fell more in love with the idea of becoming an OT. I started working as a substitute teacher in my old school district - I got to experience education from the other side and what it feels like to really pour your heart into your work, and in the people you work with. I got more comfortable with being an authority figure and have continued making progress growing into that role. 

I flew out to Minnesota for grandma during winter quarter in February and then for grandma’s funeral in November (you are dearly missed). My apartment mates and I were almost evicted from our apartment because of my subletter, and one of my FSP students happened to be one of the other subletters who ended up moving out. Although these are the lows of my year, I’ve been able to take away important lessons from each of them - the impermanence of life, importance of good friends and family, and to listen to others when it comes to the small details, and to always take precaution when it comes to new people and serious matters. 

2016 taught me a lot. I spent the entire school year prepping myself for graduation and finally learned how to manage my time better so that I could make time for the things and people that mattered. I had so many adventures in LA. From spontaneous outings to lunch/dinner dates to actual dates, shows (EHLAE and Blue Oyster Cult), DineLA, museum days, the beach, kayaking, night time pier, morning and night time runs, boba runs, movie nights, apartment bonding nights, photo shoots, banquets, visits from friends, parties, clubbing, even study sessions became an adventure, hiking trips, yoga and gym sessions, cooking adventures.

Making room for this quality time helped me grow personally. I discovered new interests, met incredible people, made connections, and strengthened existing friendships. I learned to be more open with others and myself. As a result, I started accepting myself more, which led to me feeling more confident and comfortable in my own skin. This year, the people I’ve met and the experiences I’ve had (both good and bad) have all influenced my taste in the type of friends I want, as well as to my evolving outlook on love and relationships. 

As I enjoyed all these adventures, post-grad life was always on my mind. I prepared myself by reflecting on my goals and outlining the specifics. I sought help and advice from those wiser and more experienced than I am. I confided in those who were going through this process with me, making it seem less scary. I formed relationships with others aiming to go down the same path as me. I made connections with professionals who could help me. I put in effort to nourish these relationships, as they take time and effort too. I started reading about life skills that one should possess and practice - it’s the little things that can make a big difference and leave a lasting impression on others. I realized that as much as it helps to be professional and polished, it is also just as important to be yourself. Your authenticity is what makes you memorable, and a lot more fun :) 

2016 filled me with so much love, in so many different forms. I spent the year single, but I don’t say this with embarrassment or disdain. I had my fun, as well my not so glamorous moments - just as any hopeless romantic would, especially during the holidays - but at the end of the day, I know there is so much in store for me even if it’s not at this very moment. I also know that love doesn’t only exist in the one person that I decide to be with. It exists all around me in various forms - in my friends, my family, my community, and even in myself. 

I’ve met some of the best people in college. After graduating and moving home, I wasn’t really sure who I would actually still stay in contact with, and vice versa. It’s one thing to say we’ll still talk, but it’s another to actually do it. I’m thankful that my friendships have survived the time and distance post college. Perhaps distance makes the heart grow fonder. I can also say the same about my high school friends, whose friendships have lasted all throughout college. I feel loved and supported by them, and I hope that I make them feel the same way.

This year, I experienced the strength of family. We lost our glue, our stronghold, the woman who has left her legacy in each of us. Upon learning that my grandma had gotten sick and wanted to be with her children/grandchildren, my entire family dropped whatever we had going on and went to be with her in Minnesota. We stayed for a week. We took over the entire hospital lounge. The nurses said they’ve never seen so many people visit one patient before. My grandma seemed to be recovering from her pneumonia, but overall she had become weaker than before. My entire family sat down to discuss the following steps in terms of my grandma’s care. I remember lots of crying and emotions. We put my grandma on hospice care and she remained with us for nine months after. She was able to attend my cousin’s wedding. I remember the day we had to leave. I gave my grandma a hug, bid her farewell -  “Bye Ama!” - and gave her a kiss on the cheek - the same ritual I had always done whenever it was time to leave Minnesota. I then realized that this might be the last time I got to see her while she was still with us. I got scared and my heart broke, but I tried to keep hope alive. In November, I learned that she had passed away. That day was so empty. Everything felt strange. That night, I broke out in hives. I still don’t know why, but that’s the first time it’s ever happened to me. We flew out to Minnesota for my grandma’s funeral the following night. It was a tough time for us, but the love amongst all of us was strong. I like to think that my grandma lived a full life and got to feel the love our family has for her and for each other even during the moments when her health was deteriorating. I will never forget seeing my grandma for the last time, kissing her cold cheek one final time, and placing a rose down for her in honor of her life that has touched so many people. She gave and loved unconditionally, and that’s something she’s taught the rest of us. My family has given me the greatest love of all - it’s unconditional and everlasting.

2016 has been tragic on a personal, as well as a global scale. The world is suffering. The amount of shootings, bombings, natural disasters, racist acts, etc., has been happening at an alarming rate. The political landscape of our country is becoming more divided and poses a threat especially to minorities, women, and LGBT/Q communities. In the midst of all the chaos, communities have rallied together to make their voices heard and fight for change. I’ve seen and felt the love and support of the community. Times like these remind me of Martin Luther King Jr., Ghandi, Rosa Parks, and all these figures who have fought for social and political change despite all the powerful forces against them. Now, it’s up to us to make change happen. In her concession speech, Hillary Clinton said, “And to the young people in particular, I hope you will hear this. I have, as Tim said, spent my entire adult life fighting for what I believe in. I've had successes and I've had setbacks. Sometimes, really painful ones. Many of you are at the beginning of your professional public and political careers. You will have successes and setbacks, too.This loss hurts, but please never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it. It is -- it is worth it. And so we need -- we need you to keep up these fights now and for the rest of your lives.” (November 9, 2016). 2017 marks the beginning of Trump’s presidency in this already unstable world. I can only hope he doesn’t destroy us, but if he starts his demolition, I am ready to stand by those in my community to fight for what’s right. 

This year, I really embraced the concept of loving myself: self-love. I’m not perfect. Being called perfect is actually pretty frightening to me. I’m allowed to make mistakes, to have my days, to not have to please every single person. I’m allowed to say no. I started giving myself credit for being a good friend, a good daughter, a good student, etc. But I know that self-love does not mean ignorance. I was critical of myself when I was not these aforementioned things, not in an attempt to put myself down, but rather in an attempt to reflect and become a wiser, more mature version of myself. To me, self-love means accepting who I am in the moment, but adapting and evolving as I learn and experience more in order to be the best me I can possibly be. It also means having patience with myself to get there. I also started appreciating my body more -- aesthetically, physically, and biologically. My body is a temple ;) I only have this one life to live and this one body to experience it all with. It amazes me. We can do so much; we are capable of so much. We just need to believe it and start loving who we are. I’m still on a journey, but I think I’m going in the right direction.

2016 has been a roller coaster. It’s time for this ride to end and a new one to begin. Here’s to everything I got out of 2016, and here’s to what’s to come in 2017, like more subbing experience, taking the GRE, graduate school applications, acceptances (crossing my fingers), my first trip outside of the country with friends, more travels and adventures, more good food, and many, many more. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see ;) 

Let’s do this.
