I've really been enjoying @derinthescarletpescatarian 's Child of a Wandering Star, an amazing first encounter story from the POV of the aliens, and the image of an astronaut being read as a baby star-god was so delicious to me so I had to draw the "hatching" scene.

and because im normal i was like well if im drawing the aliens I need to hunt down mentions of their physical appearance so I can know exactly what they look like and model them after real arthropods. obviously

mobile iterator based on @capricoopla 's amazing design

your design is so clever and cool it inspired me to draw my own take on it

while I gave mine similarly exposed flesh and inspector limbs as well, I wanted to go for a more "cobbled together" look (more details on my tags)

[leashybebes]

i was yapping at @sazzynatural about my hurdle headcanon and then my hand slipped and now here we are, i guess!

tweaked a little and posted on ao3 [here]. thanks, y'all!

"Hey, Evan?"

"Yeah?" Buck calls, from where he's checking through his cupboards, making a shopping list. Tommy doesn't respond immediately and he turns back from where he's surveying the spice rack to look at him. "What's up?"

Tommy has that fond look on his face that, as far as Buck is concerned, might as well just be what his face looks like. The way that Tommy looks at him lights him up inside. He doesn't think anyone has ever looked at him that way, the way that he catches Tommy looking, so soft and endeared, like just looking at Buck makes him happy. It's - 

"I love you."

Buck's heartbeat roars in his ears. 

"Y-you - um. What? No, wait, I mean. I heard you. Tommy, that's - "

"Evan." He still looks fond, and that should be impossible, because Buck is screwing up, he has ring-side seats to this, is actively watching himself screw up, and Tommy's still looking at him like - like that. "Stop spiraling. You don't need to say it back, I just wanted you to - "

"No, no, it's not - uh - I, uh. I said I'd meet Maddie for coffee during her shift and if I don't leave now I'm gonna be late, so I, um. C-can we talk about this later? O-over dinner, maybe?"

Tommy's shoulders slump a little at that. "Uh. Sure. If you like."

"Uh-huh, yeah, that'd be great, I'll be back, don't uh - don't go anywhere, I won't be long, I just really - really need to get that coffee with Maddie, I can't be late but uh - that's - that's great, Tommy."

He sees Tommy's eyebrows go up, sees him mouth great, and then he's out the door.

Oh, shit.

***

The drive to dispatch goes in a blur, and he must look pretty freaked out because as soon as Maddie sees him, she quickly finishes her call and drags him into the breakroom.

"What's wrong?" she asks.

"I - I thought we could get coffee," Buck says lamely, and she gives him the big sister eyebrows. "Really," Buck says a bit frantically. "Can - can we have coffee?"

Maddie rolls her eyes, but she pours them both a coffee and hands him his, putting the table between them and leaning against it.

"I have fifteen minutes. Talk."

"Tommy said he loves me," Buck blurts.

"Buck, wow. That's amazing." Maddie's eyes widen at him over her coffee cup. "Wait. Not amazing?"

"I didn't - uh. I didn't say it back?" Buck says, and feels his heart sink. 

"Wait, you didn't?" Maddie tilts her head, looks honestly baffled. Which - fair. Buck is a little obsessed. "Do you - not?"

Of course I do, Buck thinks. How could I not?

"I - I'm being intentional," Buck says, and it sounds hollow already. "I don't wanna rush it and I had like - a timeline."

"Did - did you tell him about the timeline?"

"N-not in so many words," Buck admits.

"Evan! Please tell me you didn't just run out on the poor guy," Maddie pleads, over the sound of the breakroom door opening again. Buck doesn't even care about a potential audience, he's so suddenly miserable at the way he left Tommy at the loft.

"I - I didn't run," he says although - it was probably a close thing. "I…I told him I had to get coffee with you and we'd talk about it later," he admits, his voice getting smaller with every word.

Maddie's face does the thing - the scrunched up pout like she's holding back on telling him that he's a damn moron. Buck scrubs his hands over his face.

"Is this Buck's hot pilot?" Josh asks from where he's pouring coffee.

Buck hears Maddie's mm-hm. 

"He said he loves me," he says, still hiding behind his hands.

"Con…gratulations?" Josh says dubiously. "Or, how awful for you? I'm really not clear on the desired response here."

"He thinks it's too soon," Maddie says. "He had a timeline. Which he did not share."

"We were taking it slow!" 

"I hate to break it to you, but the way that man looks at you is not slow," Josh says.

"He's not wrong," Maddie says, and Buck hangs his head. Because they're right. They're both right.

"Look, you know me. I stumble into things, I end up too serious too fast and it blows up in my face. I - I really didn't want it to blow up in my face. And then he just goes and - and looks at me like that, and says that, and I don't - guys, I think I really screwed up."

Maddie gives him a sympathetic look. 

Josh gives him a deeply, deeply unsympathetic one. "Oh, I have totally dated a Tommy."

"I'm sorry, what?" Buck glares at Josh who looks supremely unimpressed.

"Calm down, ankles," he tuts, and Buck is absolutely going to kill Eddie. Or Chim. He's going to kill someone. How does everyone know about that? "I said I dated a Tommy, your man's virtue is safe."

"What does that mean, you dated a Tommy?"

"Look, not everyone knows when they're five like me, and not everyone goes from adorably clueless to out and proud as fast as you. Sometimes, and I know this might be a little revolutionary for you, Buck, but sometimes the queer experience? Fucking miserable for a really long time. So sometimes you just want to grab happiness where you can find it, as soon as you find it."

Buck thinks about the things he's learned about Tommy over the months they've been seeing each other, each one a little treasure to be hoarded, a part of the puzzle that makes up the man that he already can't imagine life without - the asshole father, the dead mom, the army, the closet, the loneliness - and he wants to slap himself. 

His phone buzzes in his pocket and he pulls it out, his heart sinking further at the message Tommy's sent.

Do you want me to cancel the reservation?

Buck turns his phone to show Maddie and Josh the message.

"What reservation?" Maddie asks

"Dinner," Buck says miserably. "Date night."

"Okay," Josh says. "Some of us are supposed to be working and don't have time for your little baby bi crisis. Evan Buckley, are you actually going to fumble that man? Before you answer, be aware that two thirds of the population of WeHo will get a hard-on the moment he's back on the market even if they won't know why."

"He's not going back on the market," Buck snaps. "I just - I just need to talk to him."

"There we go," Josh says, rolling his eyes and disappearing with his mug of coffee, and an idiot called back over his shoulder.

Maddie's a little kinder, hugging him quickly. "Tell him how you feel, Buck. Talk it out."

***

By the time Buck gets back to the loft, he has another message from Tommy.

Hey, I headed back to my place. Let me know if you want to talk, or if you want dinner. I'm sorry if that was too much. It doesn't have to change anything.

"Goddamnit," Buck grumbles, throwing the Jeep back into gear. The drive to Tommy's has never felt so long, and he sits outside for long enough that the neighbor across the street is just openly staring through the blinds. It's enough to propel him out of the car and up to the door.

It takes Tommy a minute to answer when Buck knocks and he looks - surprised to see him, honestly. Buck feels a horrible twist of guilt.

"Can I come in?"

"Evan. Of course. You want a coffee or something?"

"No," Buck says, trailing Tommy into the kitchen. "I - I did have one with Maddie, I'm kinda…vibrating out of my skin enough as it is."

"I'm sorry. That's not what I was aiming for."

"Y-you don't need to be - Tommy, I - "

"Hey, look, it's fine," Tommy says, and it looks like he really believes it. Like it really is completely fine that he told Buck he loves him and Buck's response was to buffer internally for a minute and then run out of his own damn apartment like his ass was on fire. Tommy taps his knuckles on the table between them in what Buck recognises as a nervous gesture. "I know that I'm not - I'm not the forever guy, and that's okay. I didn't say it to make you say it back. I said it because it's true and I wanted you to know."

"What are you talking about?"

"That I - " Tommy honestly looks a little puzzled. "What I said, this morning. It wasn't - there weren't any strings attached."

"You're not the forever guy? What the hell does that mean?"

"Just that - that I know I'm not exactly a…long-term prospect, and that's okay."

Okay? It's so far from okay. It's the worst thing Buck has ever heard.

"How are you not a long-term prospect? That's - that's the dumbest thing I ever heard, take that back."

"Evan. I used the L word and you couldn't get out of there fast enough. It's okay. You don't have to try to make me feel better. It's fine."

"It's not fine," Buck snaps, rounding the table to get closer to Tommy, catching hold of his wrist. "I'm not - look, I had a timeline, which, Maddie pointed out I didn't actually tell you about that, so that's my bad. But it was a timeline for me, to stop me going too fast and falling too hard and - and going full Buck. I didn't expect that you would - "

"Stomp all over this mysterious timeline?" Tommy asks, his eyebrows going up.

"And I'm now realizing how stupid that was. Did - did you mean it?"

"Evan. Of course I meant it." He glances down at where Buck is still squeezing his wrist, not quite holding his hand "I - honestly, I didn't think it would come as a surprise, I'm not exactly - "

"I love you."

Tommy blinks. "Evan - "

"Please believe me. Tommy. God, I screwed this up so bad, but - I do. I do love you. You are the forever guy. You're my forever guy. I promise. I just - I was just scared. But about me, not about you. Never about you. Tommy, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I - "

"Evan. Say it again."

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

Buck lets himself sway forward, lets his forehead meet Tommy's shoulder. "Not the forever guy. You're a goddamn idiot is what you are."

"I'm your idiot," Tommy promises, and Buck laughs shakily.

They love each other. They love each other.

soo this little silly is kind of a thing i made cuz of a class in uni. but yes a silly lindwurm but they have been Realed... head and feet are 3d printed/painted with acrylics while the body is needle felted!

theyre not a super solid character or anything but actually they sort of are bcs they are a minor character in pareidolia. But i just thought it would be funny to make a lindwurm model especially with their weird long face

[chronicowboy]

i do wonder if the unfamiliar situation chris sees eddie in is just. eddie having free time. like i think it might be one of those log lines that can apply to a lot of different aspects of the episode but like. yeah eddie was in the army. eddie was working three jobs after he was discharged. eddie had crazy shifts as a firefighter even if he did always make sure he made time for chris. but suddenly eddie has the time to breathe. and christopher gets to watch this. and it's still laboured breathing because he needs to find a job in this town full of ghosts and his parents are needling him with little passive aggressive comments about stability and career and responsibility. but eddie is just using this time to be with chris. and chris is a teenager and he has a life and school and clubs and friends and he's still kind of mad at his dad. but eddie is just there. always. getting knocked down by ten job rejections a week and still showing up to see christopher with a smile on his face because that's his little boy. and maybe stability doesn't mean a steady paycheck or normal working hours. maybe stability is the loudest, longest, steadiest, most unconditional love you've ever had.

I Never Planned On You Chapter 17: Mrs. Samuels- Specs Samuels x Marley Samuels

Word Count: 1.6k

Five Years Later

Specs waved at his patient as they finally left the office, sighing in relief afterwards. Things had felt so busy lately for him with new technology with glasses, it felt like patients were coming in nonstop. But today was different. Today he made sure that his lunch hour was completely uninterrupted so he could go visit his dear fiancé. He hadn’t changed much over the years since the strike, but he did mature quite a bit. He said a quick goodbye to his receptionist before walking out and grabbing some food from his fiance’s favorite restaurant before heading to the school that she worked at, knowing it was nearing her lunchtime as well.

Marley had just finished ushering children out of her classroom to the playground for recess and walked back into her classroom, sitting at her desk with a small sigh. Her desk was piled high with spelling tests and homework to grade, but it was also decorated with gifts from students, framed newspaper clippings and a picture of her and Specs. She had changed over the years and matured into a woman. She had allowed her hair to grow out and often pulled it out of her face into a more mature look rather than the braids she had worn as a young girl. She wore a brown linen dress with a white undershirt that complemented her figure well, and her smile was void of braces.

Specs was known at the school by this point, having come to surprise his fiancé many times before. That meant he was let in with ease, which allowed him to arrive at her classroom rather quickly. He knocked on her open doorway with her free hand and a smile on his face. Even now after so many years of knowing each other she still managed to bring a smile to his face by simply existing. 

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Samuels,” he greets. Sure, it wasn’t officially her last name yet, but he was much too excited at the prospect of marrying her to care. The woman looked up and smiled at the mere sight of him. She hadn’t expected him that afternoon and she was always so excited to share lunch with him.

“Good morning,” she responded with a small blush at the name. “What a pleasant surprise, I didn’t expect company.” She stood, rounding her desk with open arms to hug him. He returned the hug with a smile, kissing the top of her head. 

“I cleared my lunch hour, figured it’s been a while since we had lunch together,” he explained, holding up the bag containing the food. “Hope you’re not too busy.” Marley shook her head and took a step back. 

“No not at all, I needed some company,” answered, making her way back to her chair and setting some papers aside. “The kids were just asking me when you were going to come back, they love you so much.” Specs laughed softly as he set the bag down in the space that the papers used to occupy. 

“I almost feel bad because I don’t know how long I’ll be able to stay,” he admitted as she opened up the bag of food to set it out for them. 

“It’s okay, I’ll tell them you came by,” she assured him as she glanced out her window, looking at the group of children playing outside. “How’s work going along? Busy?” 

“Very,” he breathed out with a quiet laugh as he sat down. “But I’m not complaining. People are allowed to get their vision improved, I’m happy with that.” The woman smiled softly at him. She always admired that he was helping people, she loved his selflessness and dedication, even if she had to remind him to take a break for himself every once in a while. 

“You look so great in the white coat, if I weren’t your fiancé I would come in once a week just to look at you,” she joked as she began to eat. The man laughed and shook his head amusedly. 

“You still could, school gets out before the office closes,” he pointed out jokingly. A small smirk settled on her lips. 

“Maybe I will, doctor,” she giggled out. “Did that shipment go smoothly? I know you were stressed out about it.” Specs nodded and grinned.  

“Everything went according to plan. Better than expected actually,” he laughed. “And how have the kids been for you? Did you ever talk to Millie’s parents?” 

“No, Millie’s parents talked at me,” she half joked. “Those people are no joke, I’ve never seen someone get so red with anger before. I didn’t mind though, I mean- she’s a good kid, I just need her to stop copying off of other kids.” The man huffed softly. 

“Some people, I swear…” he muttered. “Parents who insist their child is a saint are the worst.”

“I will believe my child is a demon because I know anything spawned from us can’t be a good outcome,” she giggled out in between bites of food.

“From you, you mean. I, meanwhile, am a godsend,” he joked, turning up his nose in a posh manner. The woman covered her mouth as she laughed. 

“Oh sure, a godsend who can’t do the dishes or make the bed, pardon me.” 

“Oh, excuse me, I thought that being the one to cook dinner and take out the trash was enough, my mistake,” he retorted with a playful grin as he took another bite of food. Marley shook her head amusedly. 

“Thank you for that, I was so tired last night I think you would’ve found me asleep in a kitchen fire if I made dinner,” she giggled out. Specs shrugged with a small smile.

“You deserved the break. You’ve been working super hard these last few weeks, I knew you were bound to get tired at some point.”

“Well, I’ll make dinner tonight, as long as you don’t claim to be a godsend.” The man rolled his eyes playfully and huffed. 

“Always has to have a catch with you,” he pouted playfully, crossing his arms like a child.

“Don’t make me give you detention,” she teased as she finished her food and tossed her trash.

“If it’s you, I don’t mind,” he joked as he finished eating as well, tossing away his own trash afterwards. The woman leaned against her desk a little, gazing at him with pursed lips. 

“You’re cheeky, you know that?”

“Of course. That’s why you fell in love with me,” he chuckled. “That, and my dashing good looks, of course.”

“Of course,” she repeated, reaching across the desk to take his hand. Specs laced their fingers together like it was second nature to him - which it probably was at this point - and lifted her hand to press a kiss to the back of it.

“You’re beautiful, you know that?” He asked, his eyes conveying his sincerity as he looked into hers. 

“It’s always so flattering coming from such a handsome man,” she whispered. “You’re the love of my life, sometimes I have to remind myself this isn’t a dream.” 

“I know the feeling,” he chuckled softly. “Sometimes I’m worried that I’ll wake up any second, but I couldn’t be happier that this is real. That you’re real. And I��ll thank any higher power above for it for the rest of my life and beyond if I could.” Marley sighed in content, her sparkling eyes locked onto his.

“I���m so lucky. We’re so lucky,” she muttered. “I’m lucky to have someone to share my life with, that we spend every night together. I feel so bad for poor Poppy having to wait for Davey.” Specs nodded and smiled sympathetically. 

Davey had volunteered for the army as a medic just over four months ago, leaving Poppy at home alone. Not long after he left Poppy had discovered something shocking that made her only miss her husband even more. She’d taken to asking Marley or Specs (or sometimes both) to spend the night so the house didn’t feel so empty.  Over the years Specs and Poppy had formed a bond with each other through their love for Marley. Now they were almost (if not the same) as close as her and Poppy. 

“Yeah, she invited you to spend the night with her at some point this week right?” The man asked, earning a nod from Marley. 

“She’s got real bad morning sickness right now so I stopped by this morning too. I’m worried about her.” 

“Do you want to stop by her house on the way home too?” He asked, now concerned.

“I’m sure she would appreciate that. We can share dinner, I’m sure she would appreciate not having to cook tonight,” she answered. Specs nodded in agreement and smiled.

“I believe she said something about craving your baked chicken the last time I was there, too,” he offered. 

“I just work magic, what can I say?” She joked.

“Glad to know you’re still as humble as ever,” he retorted dryly with a sarcastic smile. She giggled and perked up as the group of children began to run from the playground to the back door, the chatter growing louder as they neared and they lined up against the wall beside her classroom. She stood with a small smile.

“Back to work we go,” she sighed in content. Specs chuckled and stood as well, pulling her into his arms to give her a quick peck.

“I’ll see you after work?” He asked with a big smile. Marley nodded as she returned the hug. 

“I’ll see you after work. Now go change some lives,” she said with a smile to match his.

“I will,” he chuckled softly, pecking her lips one last time before making his leave, saying hi to all the kids on his way out. The rowdy kiss all waved, hugged, or tried to talk to him as he passed. Marley could do little more than laugh as she opened the door to let them in, watching as her future husband walked off.

House!Reader x Human!Dateables

Skylar Specs & House!Reader

Part 1, Part 2

You are a House

More Specifically the Personification of a beautiful two-story house surrounded by nature and in a beautiful neighborhood.

Despite you being a beautiful spacious house, You had the unfortunate luck on becoming a rentable house.

Yes that's right, despite being a house originally created to be a permanent home you are relegated into a home with temporary homeowners.

Which kinda upsets you a bit.

But in the end you had no choice, as you watch multiple people stay and leave you every week, maybe a few months if you're lucky.

Which is kinda your fault to begin with.

You see you were a bit picky on what type of people that can live in you.

You don't like people who don't respect you especially when they try to destroy some of your beloved objects in the house.

There was one time a human thought it'll be a good idea to change some parts on the bedroom, which it's fine for you until they started to remove the bed, as they started to disassemble some parts you feel your anger creeping through.

You were so angry that you may or not have decided to burst one of your lightbulbs. Which made the tenant scared and immediately ran outside out of fear.

This event literally got you a new reputation on being called 'Haunted'

You thought it is a bad thing, but it got you more people to live inside of you! Which is great unless they started to destroy some your objects and furniture which is a big no. no. for you.

But as time passes it gets tiring to watch as people don't respect your rule for yourself. And still destroy some of your beloved objects.

So you have decided to do a thing that no house personification has ever done (if they exist).

Is APPEAR to your tenants, and tell them about your one rule.

It all started with this one Pink-Haired girl, She was a new human living in your house.

You wanted to show yourself to her ever since she decided to let that flying drone thing destroy the glass part of your front door, and made no attempt to fix it which left you a bit frustrated.

Which led you to appear Infront of her and tell her your problem.

It goes as well as you expected: A lot of screaming, A lot of running then she immediately went to the door she broke part of.

But then you immediately willed it to shut close.

As she tries to open the door crying as she tries to push and turn the knob to open while begging you not to hurt her.

You had enough. And smacked her in the head. Which led her to stop crying and just look at you in shock.

You sigh, Making eye contact with the scared human.

"Listen I know you humans have a lot of things to do, BUT I appreciate it that you do not destroy some part of my house and just leave it broken. It makes me angry when you humans don't appreciate a good home when you live in it. I mean look at me compare to other houses" You gestured towards your interior.

"I am a catch with two-storys, an attic, a spacious bedrooms, a good kitchen... (more detailed explanations about all the parts of the house) you humans are lucky to live in me, so I appreciate it if you learn to respect your home!" You end your rant by pointing at the Pink-Haired human who's scared face turn into a shock of confusion.

"Wait...what?"

The pink-haired human managed to say, as she stared at what she thinks is the ghost that the previous tenant says it exist.

She didn't expect a very beautiful being with a presence that make you feel like you belong and feel safe.

You stared at the human as she stares at you back with wonder in they're eyes.

Well at least she's no longer scared

You thought to yourself, as you continue to talk to remind the human again about your rule.

"So please, Do not destroy some parts of my house or any objects for that matter. Or I will get really angry..." You glare a little on that last part. Letting your voice go a bit deep and echoey.

The human immediately nodded. Then you let out a breath of relief as you finally managed to convey your rule.

Then you reached out your arm to her helping her get up from the floor. She was a bit hesitant but still took your hand with a bit of shyness as she muttered.

"sorry..." She says voice being a bit low

You look at the human again in confusion

"hm? What did you just say?"

The human just straightens herself as she looked at you apologetically,

"Sorry for destroying your house (Mr/Mrs) Ghost." She says as she looks at you with her arms both on the sides then she looked down in guilt.

You sigh as you smile feeling her genuine apology. As you float towards her and took both her hands to yours as you stare towards her.

She moves her head back up again as she stares in shock at your closeness.

You chuckle a bit, "Well... At least you're apologetic and know what you'd done. But please don't call me a ghost I am a lot more different than that." You smile to the human, with her getting a bit flustered as the god-like being spoke to her.

Then she steels herself, "Wait then what are you?" She questions as she looks at you with curiosity.

You stared back eyes crinkle with amusement, oh how cute! You thought to yourself. Then you let go of her hands as you stepped back.

"Well allow me to introduce myself to my current homeowner." You then bow in a polite way feeling the human's eyes move across your presence. Then you smile as you looked back at her,

"I am your home, the house that you stand in and the place that you currently reside in. Where your secrets become my memories and where your memories will live in eternal"

Then time goes like a blur.

You and the human which you learned her name is Skylar develop quite of a relationship.

Which is you telling her to not overwork herself too hard or she might misuse or hurt herself with some of the objects accidentally, which happened a while ago when her tiredness got the better of her and led her to fall face-flat on the bedroom floor instead of the bed.

Which eventually led you to carry her to the bed as you tuck her in.

You were always curious on to why she always pushes herself to the limit of what her body can handle.

You eventually ask her and says that she needed the money from her job to buy food, necessities and other stuff. Which you realized are some things that humans need to live and be happy.

As you watched Skylar in rest as you settled her down to the bed. You have decided to have a new purpose for your human.

And is to try to help her be happy as long as she lived inside you!

You may not understand what your human truly needs, but you get the gist of it: Food, Water, Hygiene, Adequate Rest and Entertainment.

Which led you two to have a routine of basically trying/forcing her to do all 5. A lot of which involve you controlling some of the objects inside the house to force her into eating like immediately moving her chair, she's currently using to work into the kitchen so she will not miss breakfast.

Sometimes even wrapping her in some of the blankets so you can carry her to sleep or even just telling her to drink water and take a break for a few minutes.

As much as you try to give care to your human. Skylar felt as if you're thinking she was fragile and she feels as if you're babying her.

Which led you two to have an argument, with her putting her foot down and yell at you to stop treating her as if she was weak and can't take of herself.

Her tears filled with frustration slowly drips to her eyes as she glares at you expecting a response.

You just sigh, as you look at her worriedly.

"My dear Skylar, I know you're anger at me is justified. because for I've been treating you like as fragile like one of your glasses. But I just couldn't stand watching you break yourself too hard for work when you can appreciate your life more like other humans. I just...." You hesitate as you looked at her throughly remembering her thin frame, and weak body the moment she stepped foot to your house. Which you know it's not good for a human to be like. Then you continue.

"Can't. Let. You. Slave yourself like this when there is more to this house that you can do instead of just letting yourself wither away like this..." Your voice trembles as you speak. Feeling a bit frustrated to yourself that you let it get this far.

You feel Skylar move a hand towards you but you stop her as you continue.

"You're one of the humans who respected me. Ever since that day when I first appeared to you, I thought you would leave in fear or be angry that you have to follow my only rule. But you didn't! You stayed! You cared! and it's only fair that I try my best to make you feel happy like you did to me...but... I did it too far didn't I?" You asked as Skylar slowly nodded at you

then you feel a bit guilty as you remember some times where can a get a bit too persistent at her. Not caring of her frustrations.

"I'm sorry Skylar..." You then bow your head towards her. "I know I can be a bit too much b-but...i-!" You feel your face getting wet as you try to explain yourself but got confused as water appeared in your face. You touch it in confusion "W-what is this?" You say to yourself looking at your wet hand as more water flows down dripping from your face towards the floor.

You panic a bit thinking you accidentally burst one of your water pipes in the house because of your frustration

But Skylar immediately took your hand holding it gently as she took a handkerchief and dab it to your face.

"You're Crying, Silly!" Skylar exclaims as she looks at you her glare turning into fondness as she tries to console you.

Telling you that she understands where you're getting at. But she just doesn't want you to over do in taking care of her, since she feels bad about letting you take care her cause she feels like she didn't deserve your care for her.

You stopped her in her degradation. telling her that you only want to help her as long she lived inside of you. Wanting her to feel safe and comfortable.

Then by the end you two immediately hug each other whispering apologies and reassurances. As you both promise to understand each other more.

As Skylar promise to not neglect her needs and you to not baby her too much as she is an adult and can handle herself.

Then as time passes the relationship between the two of you gradually changes. As the two of became comfortable with each other.

You begin to talk to her about yourself no longer just talking to her about taking care of herself as Skylar also begins to talk about you about her life, her work, her hobbies and etc.

Then you also decided to talk about your former tenants. About how one of the nearly destroyed your wall or how one of them nearly burned down the kitchen. You both giggled as you reminisce and also asking her about humans are in general since you still don't understand somethings since you just mostly observed them in silence.

Then she talks to you about relationships. Which you listen attentively, She says that some humans need companionship whether it is just interactions from other people, familial relations, and also friendship.

In which she explained that she currently feels for you right now. As a friend. A best friend even

Which made you feel giddy inside like a bomb about to burst inside of you. As you learn about being friends with Skylar.

Then she talks about love and hate. Which a lot of humans seem to do.

Where Hate is a feeling where you dislike someone or something like the humans who don't respect your rule and always trashing the house.

A negative feeling that curls inside for you which led to humans being angry or just being disgusted or apathetic towards someone.

You promise to Skylar that you will not let hate become the basis of your friendship. Which she gladly agreed

And there's also Love which is a feeling of true Positivity, where you find someone that can make you feel truly happy.

Which confused you a little, isn't friendship already making people happy? Or even interaction with other humans or things already making people happy?

Then Skylar explains that love is something different it is a feeling that make you complete. Like a little hole inside of you that needs a perfect piece to fit inside. Which is more to what friendship or hate can offer.

You look at Skylar with confusion as to ask to why she feels towards you is friendship instead of love.

She explains that love takes time and care, As a person needs to learn more about the other person through conversation and contact and only if the other person let's the other in and do the same, they wil become and love and be the other half of each other.

"It is a beautiful thing that us people need and want. But it is also a fragile feeling that can either let a person be a better version of themselves or the worst. Either way Love is one of the reasons for us to live as humans so that we could have a better future." Skylar explains with a smile as she looks at you gouging your reaction about the new knowledge you learn.

Then you look at her "Have you ever been in love?" You question her as her face turns a bit red as she explains that back then that she had a few crushes here and there. But she is still looking for the one that could truly complete her heart.

Then as time goes you learn more about relationships and humans as you and Skylar converse

She says that humans need to get to know each other first through dating so that they're relationship evolves into love.

Which still confuses you for a bit then you remember as you stand outside in the roof of the house. You see other human's interaction towards each other. Some conversing with others, some conversing in a small rectangular thing which Skylar explains to you that is a 'Phone' which is a thing that humans use to entertain and communicate to other humans without interaction, and also some pairs of humans that sometimes smash their faces towards each other. Which shocks you a bit in to why they do such an odd thing.

Then as to answer your confusion you ask Skylar about it she just becomes flustered and says that is a thing that people do when they're in love and it is a very intimate thing to do.

She shows you a video to her phone about the thing known as a "Kiss" which grosses you out a little. Because why would humans need to interact with they're mouths when they could just interact through touch.

Which Skylar laughs nervously, and explains that a kiss is a very intimate act but a little more subtle than sex.

"What is 'Sex'?" You then ask her curiously as she mentioned it.

Her face turns full red as she immediately came up an excuse and ran away to another part the house.

You look to where she once stood and shrugged. Maybe she'll teach you in another day.

To be Continued....
