Masterlist | GOT7 Masterlist

You missed him when you woke up and he wasn’t still sleeping next to you. Or more like: you woke up because he wasn’t sleeping next to you. The mattress was still dipped slightly where he had rested but the place was deserted and only half warm. With a soft sigh you pushed back the covers, shivering when the cold air hit your warm skin. You hoped he hadn’t had one of his nightmares again – though it was to expect since he was nowhere to be seen – they tended to haunt him before every comeback.

The sound of your naked feet tapping over the cold floor was all that could be heard, everything else around you was dead quiet.

(Taking that it was past three in the morning, that wasn’t a huge surprise.)

You found him in the kitchen, staring out of the window with a mug of tea in his hands. His posture was hunched over, the pale light from outside dancing over the tensed up muscles that peaked through his tank top. He was breathing flat and jerkily, almost as if he was fighting for air. So he had had a nightmare again, a nightmare of him failing in the worst ways possible, losing everything and disappointing everyone.

Jackson was tough, but not eternally so. He was extremely hard working, the type of person that would sacrifice his own being for a cause. Be it staying in dance studios until he literally collapsed, taking vocal lessons whenever his schedule allowed him to, working out six days a week straight, dieting even through the toughest times…the list was endless. He would drown himself in work, the people-pleaser that he was, never hesitating to go the extra mile for anyone he cared for. And all that whilst making everyone laugh and raising the mood whenever he entered a room.

That was why comebacks were always a hard time for him and all the people who cared about him. Jackson’s sheer phobia of messing up the tiniest detail made him reckless and uncaring of his own needs – and that was nothing you want to see someone you love go through. He would do almost everything for ahgase…and sometimes he just simply shouldn’t. Because at the end of the day, his health should stand over a perfect choreography and two thousand percent stage presence. But not for Jackson, never for him.

“Jackson?”

His hands relaxed around the steaming mug of tea at the sound of your voice.

“Everything okay?” Nothing was okay, you could see that from here.

“I should be working out. I should be rehearsing or taking vocal lessons.” You stayed quiet, watched him from afar. He still hadn’t turned around. “I should be contributing something to the group. The fans have waited seven months for our comeback and I should be productive…” You stepped towards him finally, hands wrapping around his body from behind. With a small sigh you rested your cheek against his shoulders and kissed the tense muscles.

“You had a major competition not long ago Jackson-ah. A competition your team won first place, may I add.” His breathing already grew less rigid and deeper, and he relaxed a tiny bit. “You need rest. You have been practicing for months and almost slept in the studios after some days. And dieting for weeks too. Your body deserves a rest.” He sighed softly, his hands carefully cupping yours. “I know but…I’ve been slacking. I’ve been the opposite of productive and for a comeback…”

“Taking care of yourself is productive.” He stayed quiet after that for a while.

“But they waited for so long…”

“Jackson, I know. And you guys are coming back, right?” he nodded hesitantly. “Is you relaxing for two days and eating a bit more than rice and tomato juice going to change that?” He shook his head slowly. “See? Besides, I am one hundred percent convinced that your fans rather have you smile than your abs. Just to be clear.”

His eyes widened a little bit, and his lips pulled into his significant closed-lips smile that was to die for. That smile that made his eyes crease at corners a bit and seemed to hold the gentleness of the whole universe in them. “You think so?”

“Of course baby. Don’t trade your happiness for an unflawed image that you know you can’t hold up anyways, Jackson. You hear me?” He nodded, the smile fading into a small smirk before he saluted playfully. “Yes, chef.”

You chuckled softly. “Wonderful. And now come back to bed I missed you.”

TUMBLR FUCKED UP SOME OF MY ASK POSTS I AM SO SORRY ANYWAY 

@buckleydiazs​ asked:

talk to me about eddie and chris asking buck to move in, pls and thank u 🥰

Their first unplanned night together starts off with a text message.

Ironically enough, it’s not even a message between Eddie and Buck—it’s between Buck and Maddie. Eddie is all smiles as he pulls his truck onto the highway, Buck in the passenger seat, laughing easily at some story Eddie was telling. It was nice. It was easy, easier than most of the relationships Eddie had ever had before, but that wasn’t surprising—at least, not anymore, not with Buck.

Once Buck had gotten the stick out of his ass, Eddie realized how easily the two of them would get along almost immediately. Buck was... well, he was a far better person than Eddie was, and Eddie would be the first to admit that, but Buck seemed to be oblivious to the fact that he could basically out shine the sun with one of his big toothy smiles.

Their relationship was unique, certainly; they had survived things that went beyond the real of “regular people”; tsunamis, earthquakes, bombs, and most stressful of all (weirdly enough), a lawsuit. somehow, the lawsuit was the straw that broke the back on their friendship—Eddie had finally pulled his head out of his ass, realized how miserable his life had been without Bucky, and asked him out on a proper date a week after Buck's first call back on the team.

Though they spent a lot of time together as friends, and that had only grown after their first official ‘date’, they had been carpooling out of necessity for the week—Bobby had been good enough to match their schedules up while Buck’s Jeep was in the shop—and Eddie insisted that it wasn’t too much of a detour to shuttle Buck back and forth to work.

The mood in the truck was easy and light, and Buck was still laughing when he pulled his phone from his pocket, tapping at the screen a few times—and like someone had switched on a vacuum, the good mood was sucked through the window in less than a second.

“It’s Maddie. She says Taylor Kelly is at my apartment complex. Apparently there was a pretty big drug bust in the building across the way, she has her van camped out in our lot.”

And, well, Eddie wasn’t about to tolerate that, wasn’t about to tolerate anything that made Buck unhappy, anything that could suck the joy out of him in an instant, for reasons that he chose not to dive too deep into. He focused instead on the problem (and yeah, Taylor Kelly was a problem with a capital B), and what he figured was the easiest solution.

“Oh. Well, then you’re staying at our place tonight.”

As expected, Buck started up a whole litany of protests. It was a little sad, Eddie thought, how eager Buck was to talk himself out of a good time, and if he didn’t have the backup of a year of knowing Buck as well as he did, Eddie might have actually taken his ramblings at face value.

As it was, though, he had an ace in the hole. A surefire way to get Buck to shut up and accept some good in his life. He didn’t like to play it, but he knew that he had to as soon as Buck mentioned “I’ll just stay at the firehouse tonight, it’s really no issue, I’ll order take out, and—”

“Buck, it’s fine. Chris has been begging me to invite 'his Buck’ over for dinner for a week now anyway.”

“...oh. Okay.”

Was it wrong for Eddie to use his son so easily, knowing that Buck was as wrapped around Chris’ finger to the degree that nearly rivaled himself? Probably. Could Eddie bring himself to care? Nope.

Especially not when Chris basically launched himself into Bucks arms, completely overjoyed that Buck was here for a “surprise sleepover”. 

Dinner had gone off without a hitch, with Chris easily dominating most of the conversation, rattling off facts, figures, stories from school, information about his friends, and Buck had eaten it up. 

Eddie had found himself staring at Buck—more than once—with a little bit of a dopey look on his face, he was sure, as Buck got more and more animated, making Christopher laugh, telling stories of his own, and he hadn’t even bothered to look away when Buck caught him staring.

Buck was a blusher. Eddie loved it.

Now, though, Chris had disappeared to brush his teeth and put on his pajamas, and Eddie and Buck were working in companionable quiet as they started to clean the table.

"You know, if Taylor being at my apartment means I get to spend the evening with my two favorite guys...” Buck said with a smile, closing the fridge as he leaned against it, keeping an ear out for Chris as he turned the faucet in the bathroom on. “...I’ll have to invite her over next time.”

Eddie shrugged, gesturing vaguely with a spoon, though he couldn’t keep the smile off of his face as he rose a brow. “Buck, you know you don’t need excuses, right? You’re allowed to like this. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I am as wrapped around your finger as you are Chris’s.”

Buck was blushing again, and that was all the encouragement Eddie needed to step forward, his arms wrapping around Buck as Buck started to speak again. “You... you know the feeling is mutual, right?” he asked, and Eddie felt himself light up. “And I... don’t really want to wait for a next time to spend some time with you either.”

Buck wasn’t sure which God was on his side, but either way, he was immensely thankful that Chris didn’t barge in until long after Eddie and Buck had separated, even if they were still breathing a little heavily.

--

The next unexpected visit, it turns out, was only four weeks and three planned dates later. 

Buck had had many a sleepless night after the tsunami, but after the lawsuit, his nightmares had become even worse, more intense, more real. There were nights where he had to tell himself, ten times, that Chris was okay, that he was alive, and then there were nights like tonight, where he let the fear outweigh the guilt and he called Eddie.

(It was probably telling that he was never afraid of his own death—only Chris’. If he had a therapist, he would probably bring that up, but... well, therapy had never been a great idea for Buck before.)

To his credit, Eddie hadn’t let it ring even twice before picking up. 

“Buck, Chris is okay. He’s okay. You saved him, Buck, and I can never thank you enough for that.”

“Ed—he was right there, and I lost him, and I—”

“He is okay. Buck, seriously, he’s okay. Here, you should come over. See for yourself?”

“What? No.” Buck may have been coming out of a nightmare, but even then, he knew not to risk disturbing Eddie more than he absolutely had to.

“Buck, whatever thoughts are swirling around in that head, you better, get your admittedly very attractive ass over here right now.”

...well, he couldn’t argue with that. 

Eddie could feel his heart break when he opened the door, though, and got an armful of puffy eyed, apologetic Buck in response. They quietly made their way over to Chris’ room and then to Eddies own, where he made no short work of Buck’s apologies, kissing him soundless every time he tried.

At the end of the night, Buck wasn’t sure what had helped him sleep better—seeing Chris alive and well, or spending his night in Eddie’s arms, wrapped up tight enough that he couldn’t break free even if he tried.

Not that he would.

--

“Hi Buck!”

“Hi Christopher!” 

Buck was all smiles as he swooped in to scoop Christopher into a big bear hug, leaning over to kiss Eddie’s cheek as he let Chris back down to the ground and they started walking back to the car. “How was school, buddy?” He asked, easily going into idle listening mode as Eddie’s hand slipped into his. It was an early release day for Christopher, and he had all but demanded that they spent the afternoon hanging out together—and it was moments like these that reminded Buck about how lucky he was, swinging his hand in Eddie’s like a teenager as they walked back to the car, Chris eagerly leading the way.

Honestly, if anything, the fact that a date night for Buck was now spending a night at the museum with his boyfriend and his kid (instead of in a club, or at a bar, or doing something he probably wouldn’t remember the next day) really was a testament to his own personal growth. No drinking, no drugs, no questionable sex with questionable people in questionable locations—just a nerdy firefighter and his kid.

Dinner consisted of hot dogs and pretzels and soda, and somehow Chris was outpacing them on energy as they wandered through the exhibits. Buck never quit being amazed at just how much Chris knew—hell, Buck was an adult and he still didn’t know the difference between a Monet painting and a Manet painting—but Chris was like the little brainiac Energizer bunny, his energy only weaning after they got home and demanded Buck read him two whole stories for bedtime, and Buck was feeling selfish enough to allow himself a few moments with Chris, sleeping on his shoulder, before he tucked the boy in for the night. 

“I’m gonna get going.”

“You don’t have to, you know?”

Eddie kept his voice low as Buck slid Chris’ door shut, his arms finding their way around Buck’s waist on autopilot, easily masking the twinge of annoyance he felt when Buck had the audacity to look surprised.

“What do you mean?”

If he ever met that Abby chick, he was going to give her a piece of his mind. 

“I mean you don’t have to leave. You can stay, sweetheart. I… well, I want you to stay, but I always want you to stay, so I’m a little biased. But you can stay as long as you want, whenever you want.” 

It was better, he hoped, to be direct, because Buck obviously didn’t get the hint after so many subtle cues. Hell, Eddie had given him a key after their third official date, and all Buck had commented was how glad he was to have it, in case of emergencies. Unfortunately, the fact that Buck seemed dumber then a box of rocks didn’t seem to count as an emergency. 

His argument seemed to be well received tonight, at least, because Buck smiled shyly as he looked up to Eddie, his own arms sliding around the other males shoulders. 

“You’re sure I won’t bother you and Chris, right? You really want me to stay tonight?”

“Of course I do.” Eddie said. For the rest of your life, he managed to keep inside. 

--

“Buck, you know you’re always welcome here, right?”

“Yes, Eddie.”

“And you know we love having you here, and we generally hate it when you leave.”

“I get it, Eddie.”

“So you know—“

“Eddie, will you please let me in?”

If Buck wasn’t soaked head to toe, standing on Eddie’s doorstep, he’d probably start to think that the universe was playing a cruel joke on the both of them. It was certainly playing a cruel joke on Eddie, to be honest—they had finished a particularly grueling overnight shift just three hours ago, and he had all but begged Buck to come and get some rest at the house while Christopher was out with Carla that day, and Buck had politely but firmly refused, not wanting to trample on any of the time that he got to take for himself. It was driving Eddie crazy, to be honest—he had really thought that they had made progress on that front, that they had finally gotten to the point where Buck didn’t think he was intruding, or interrupting, or distracting, or whatever. He really had thought he had made his stance clear—that he always loved spending time with Buck, period. 

Well, he was certainly never one to back down from a challenge. 

“What even happened, Buck?”

“The pipe burst in the apartment above me. I got soaked through in the middle of a nap.” 

“Oh, Buck.”

“It’s not funny, Eddie! I was trying to be considerate!”

“Baby, I’m not laughing. I’m just very distracted by how good you look soaking wet.”

“Eddie, I swear to god—“

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

“….oh. Oh!”

--

“I meant what I said, you know?”

“Hmm?”

They had gotten down to the lazy, delighted moments of the evening, standing together in the shower, Buck slotted easily into Eddies arms. They were taking advantage of the last twenty minutes they had together before Chris came home, and needless to say, neither of them were exactly jumping at the idea of wearing pants again.

“We love having you here, Chris and I. And we really do hate it when you leave because you think that you have to, or you think that you’re intruding, or you think… well, whatever else that you’re thinking.”

“Eddie…”

Buck turned in his arms, pushing his wet hair back, but Eddie smothered any chance of a self depreciating comment by pressing their lips together. He didn’t pull back until he knew Buck would be breathless, panting, and dazed, and it probably wasn’t fair to fight that way, but Eddie couldn’t handle another comment about how much of a bother Buck perceived himself.

“You’re home to me, Buck. Chris too. He loves you and he looks up to you, and you drive me crazy thinking that you could be anything but welcome in our lives. Buck, I want you to move in with us. Stay. Forever.”

There was a time and a place where Buck’s self doubt would have run rampant faced with a confession like that—hell, Buck 1.0 wouldn’t even have allowed a relationship to get that far—but somehow, looking up at Eddie, nothing could be more perfect. 

“You’re home to me too, Eddie.” He started, softly, a smile on his face. “And if you and Chris really wouldn’t mind—“

“It’s not just that we wouldn’t mind, though. It’s what we want. We want you to live with us, sweetheart.”

“… well, I’ve never been good at denying anything my Diaz boys want, have I?”

--

(Over dinner, Buck had nervously approached the topic with Chris, because no matter how sure Eddie was, Buck had to hear it for himself. 

Chris got so excited he almost threw up. 

Eddie considered everything about that night as a win—but the best part of all was the price, Buck, beautiful Buck, waiting for him in his—no, in their bed.)

🍃 🐚 ⭐️

Hello mystery anon! Thank you so much for the ask! I forgot as I was writing that that were asks meant to be answered by me for my F/o, but considering my recent f/o takeover by my dearest Atsushi, he answered a few of the asks too! UwU;

"It is a shared blog between us, Darling," Atsushi commented lightly, resting his chin a top the petite brunette, "I'm sure they won't mind at all!" 🥰

"Well let's just jump right into it, shall we?"

🍃:  Do you live together? If not, would you like to? How would you or how do you decorate?

Atsushi: We do live together actually! You can know more about that here in this ask!

Though the second question is new to answer; it was a slow and gradual process to decorate our place after it was entirely cleaned and ready to inhabit. We started with basic things we could afford, the Agency definitely helping us to get a few other things to fill in the space and make it feel more homey. Which we were grateful towards nonetheless!

Even so, I think the decorator between us is Dany, she usually suggests colors and what might fit well with the setting of a certain room in our condo. As well as how the layout should be. Of course, I pitch in my own suggestions that she usually considers and takes full validation of 😄 it definitely helps her figure things out as she often hits a dead end and is left a bit irked when she runs out of ideas 👀

We often buy things at random that might make the condo more homey, be it buying some items for the living room or dining, some plants to make the place more lively, either inside or on the balcony space, or paintings and frames. Which might I add, we have hung some pieces we worked on together!

It was some quality time building when we painted and made a messy, yet nice piece done! I may not be much of an artist, but Dany does know how to boost someone’s confidence when it comes to the subject U///w///U she is very sweet, comforting and patient.

But yeah! We are a bit of a mix of traditional, minimalist, and modern through the home!

🐚:  Which one of you brings the most physical or emotional energy to the relationship? Are there ever times where it’s overwhelming to the other, or are you pretty evenly matched?

Atsushi: I think Dany and I have shared a decent amount of offering each other that physical and emotional and mental energy to our relationship. It varies a lot with what we experience individually, but overall it is evenly match. We have a deep understanding of one another and share a few similarities when it comes to how we think and want to act on our emotions and affections.

I think Dany gives more of the physical energy as she isn’t one to always put things into words as it sounds in her mind. Her affection is warm, sweet, comforting, it’s soothing and brings out any tension I feel personally after a bad day. She often sings and hums to offer a bit of vocal response, or asks questions for me that give me the door to open if I want to talk about something. She doesn't press instantly and allows space for me to figure out what I would like to say.

I do worry that sometimes I may be a bit overwhelming for her; she is rather emphatic and has the tendency to take other’s emotions that often do drain her later on. It..often leads her to be apathetic when she feels her own bad days.

Which leads to the opposite of me, she is more withdrawn from speaking about her struggles and worries. Always giving a lot of herself to me or others that she forgets about herself. That’s where I have slowly began to draw her out of that mindset, I can understand where she comes from in that regard and offer what she usually craves the most; To be listened without being interrupted or bringing up an assumption she hasn’t stated. She use to apologize,,, frequently for how she just kept rambling about some feelings and teared up out of emotion. She still does occasionally, but not as often as before.

We have been through a lot, uncovering old wounds and healing together. Giving each other that reassurance and validation we both crave more than anything. I think that’s a great positive to our relationship, is how well we share a wavelength in our emotions and how we naturally crave physical bliss from each other. It’s a steady and comforting recovery to just cuddle in bed together after a draining day, for either or both of us.

On a positive note, we are very affectionate and sweet together, so a lot of other people tend to say. Sometimes saying how we are wholesome, or adorable together. It is nice and validating to hear. I tend to be more loving in public when given the chance, Dany isn't much into PDA as she doesn't like so many eyes on her. But has gradually learned to not care too much on it. She has gotten more confident in that regard 🥰 especially with surprise kisses U///w///U

I think the first time she ever kisses me a bit...passionately in public was when someone was apparently flirting with me? I didn't have a clue about it if I have to be honest 😅 and I do think her wolf ability may have given her that forward reaction to kiss me. Surprised I was, but not at all opposed to it~ it was so cute to see slowly realize what she did later and how she practically combusted into embarrassment for her forward action. She definitely needed some reassurance and words of encouragement from me 🥰🥰🥰

Needless to say, she is adorable and I love my darling, tiny lover UwU <3

⭐️: Does your FO have any habits that you only noticed after spending a significant amount of time with them? Do they notice any of yours?

Habits eh? Hmm, Atsushi has some peculiar ones that are caused by his tiger ability... I mean so do I, but I'm normally like that since I was a child. 😅 He is like a cat sometimes and it is honestly endearing to witness and very comforting 🥰 he purrs when we cuddle and has these big eyes sometimes when I give him praise and kisses UwU. Sometimes dilated during more... affectionate times~

He also still bares some habits that stem from his time at the orphanage that I never noticed until we started living together. Such as his early sleep and morning wake up schedule. I’m not much of a morning person in the slightest 😅 I can be very irked and tense and need at least an hour to mentally wake myself up as I move about the place. I especially need coffee and some sort of protein with my food to wake me up.

I’m not very lively and may look irritated to a fault 😔 the amount of times I worried mi Tigre at the start because he thought he did something wrong ;;;w;;; of course with time he understood and got use to it and definitely gave me the space to compose myself. He definitely makes it easier to wake up with a few affectionate kisses and preparing breakfast ;;;w;;; I, of course, in the rare times do the same for him, I just have to be up prior to his now 6am wake up 😮‍💨

Hmm.. he also has his bad days, usually when a memory of his past flickers in his mind he kind of shuts down and it leads to nightmares occasionally. They were more frequent earlier on when we moved in together in the dorms and the first few weeks in our new home and have gradually slowed down. But sometimes I would wake in the middle of the night to him gone, immediately picking him out cowering away in a closet. Huddled in a ball and attempting to stifle his tears when I find him..

I was concerned, but not overly as before when he first did this prior to our relationship. Instead I joined him and offered him my comfort to ground him back from his terror and memory. Usually wordless, gentle comfort and letting him cry out all the emotions that twist and pained his heart. Once he calmed a bit, I offered any words of validation and usually pitch the question if he would like to talk about it. Sometimes yes, sometimes no, either or I don’t let up holding him and keeping him steady to present time.

It’s definitely helped a lot, mi pobre tigre… he feels bad sometimes for the disrupt sleep or mental toll it brings me. But I always remind him, gently but stern, that in those moments he is the one that matters and I am not about to abandon him in his time of need.

Maybe it’s because I understand him deeply in that sense, while our lives may not have been the same, we understand the toll our traumatic past takes on us, individually.

Atsushi has definitely been there for me a lot of the time, I have a lot of self doubt and need plenty of reassurance. I’m..overly sensitive too so I don’t like arguing or any rise in anger, it’s hard for me to…really stand up for myself in that regard; hee..to literally not cry because I am trying to make a point…

Ah sorry, about the small downed turn this took; I don’t normally talk about these things. Am trying to get better by talking more about it, especially with mi Tigre who honestly listens when so many … often don’t.

Nonetheless, some more positive, funny/cute habits from the last; Atsushi tends to ramble on about new things he learns and enjoys telling me more about it. I remember he spoke for a whole hour about chameleons, I drew him some cute doodles as he told me more about them. He keeps the image somewhere in his phone. He also rubs his neck or cups his chin a lot when confused, nervous or in deep thought.

He on the other hand has noticed how often I tend to sit on my legs, that I don’t have a single perfect posture no matter where I sit. Could be the most comforting chair or very stiff, hard ones and I still keep my legs up with me. I just can't for the life of me sit still at all, it'd last like less than 5 minutes at most 😅 but he finds it adorable and cute how often I can just curl myself into what looks like an awkward position to others but for me is rather comfy and just how I prefer to sit.

His lap is the most comforting place to sit tho 👀👀

Atsushi: You also have the bad habit of biting your lips, Darling 👀

👀...Noooo... okay yes I do, a lot, like a lot more as of recent,,, And I crack my fingers a lot too...and tap my feet, more so in public out of nervous jitters I think...

Well, that's enough of that~ we greatly appreciate the emoji asks and honestly love doing these kinds of asks 🥺 it gives me so much more of a chance to explore the dynamic and relationship between mi Tigre and I ❤️😍🥰 Leaves me warm and fussy and soft. A melting puddle of silly and foolish love U///w///U...

Please by all mean's don't be shy to send asks or talk with me! I do my best to respond when I can and want to give all my love and support to every self shipper! Till the next asks! Take care!

[barb610]

@earthquakeofideas​ asked - pls may my lonely ass have a ship 🥺 i’m a girl w brown hair + blue eyes, glasses, and im kinda thicc and short. i rly like all things horror even tho i’m a huge chicken. i love to draw, and i also love indie music, and fashion. i’m also a vegetarian :-) i love reptiles and dogs. also, i’m a very empathetic person uwu! thank u bro 💕💗🥺🥰

Of course you can!  I am so sorry that this took so, so long!  Remote learning had really messed up my schedule (not that I really had one to begin with).  

I ship you with... 

Horace Somnusson!

I know this might sound strange, and I know that he is one of the younger wards of the loop, but let’s just assume that he’s a few years older!  I got a little carried away, so there’s a LOT of stuff under the cut

So you work at a small family owned boutique in a no-name town in Florida, it was one of those “My friend’s aunt who knows this lady, who’s sister-in-law owns this” kinda things

On one particular day, business was very slow, so you decided to listen to your own music through your earbuds instead of whatever trending pop music was playing over the intercom of the boutique today

You’re jamming out, folding some nice sweater, and hanging up dress on the “Sale! 10% Off” rack, so you don’t notice the bunch of people that walk in

You finally realize that they had walked into the store when you get a tap on your shoulder

You turn around to see a beautiful blond boy with impeccable fashion sense

I’d like to think that Horace gets quite a bit taller as he gets older so he’d kind of be staring down at you 

Hi miss!  Do you happen to have this dress shirt in a smaller size?  Wonderful blouse you have on there, truly quality craftsmanship.  Maybe a medium?  Or do you have any slimmer styles?

You were in awe of the style he had and the fact he had an elegant British accent, something very unusual for no-name town in Florida

Most guys that came in here were sent in by their girlfriend or wife with a picture of what they needed

This guy wore beautiful leather oxfords, exquisitely tailored slacks, and a button up that was probably nicer than a lot of the shirts in here

You had to look up at him to see his face (and he had a pretty nice one)

Oh, yeah, we actually have a few slimmer ones, they’re behind that display over there.

Responding to him makes you realize the group of people he’s with

There’s another boy older than the one you just helped, and one other boy that looks around the same age, he had almost cartoon-like bags under his eyes

There were two girls, one practically had fire in here eyes and one wore a quite tomboy outfit

Thanks, love!

“Love?” You thought to yourself, who calls someone they just met “Love”?  Is it a British thing?

You watched him walk over to the other side of the store and later helped him and his friends check out at the counter

You had an interesting conversation about cashmere versus alpaca wool while him and his friends payed for the clothes they picked out

The rest of the day, you kept the strange interaction in the back of your mind, wishing you had gotten his name

Once you had finished up closing the shop, you walked out, holding your sketchbook along with your other belongings and began locking the front door of the boutique

There was the sound of expensive shoes slapping against the pavement, but you didn’t think of it because there was always a bunch of rich kids running around this neighborhood

You turned around, only to see the boy from earlier running towards you and slam into you sending your sketchbook flying, papers floating in the air

They settled in the ground revealing your drawings of outfits and cute little reptiles

Oh my, oh dear, I am so sorry, so unbelievably sorry.  Let me help you pick these up, love

“Love? again?” you thought

He bent down and started to gather the pages that were strewn out all over the sidewalk

As the boy helped you pick up your sketches, he began to admire your sketches

These are quite superb!  I love this chameleon you have here!

You weren’t too sure on how to respond, you don’t even know why he ran into you in the first place!  Let alone his name!

Oh, you must be confused a bit on why I ran into you like a madman.  I truly am sorry, I was trying to get here before you closed the shop because, well, this must sound absurd, but I wanted to get your name.  I’m Horace by the way.  I just wanted to talk to you a bit more.

You were a little shocked, but you introduced yourself and the rest is history

You two started going out on the town as friends and it quickly evolved into something else

It wasn’t a surprise when he asked you to go on a real date with him

After a wonderfully planned date, he was walking you home when you both noticed that you were being followed

Millard, I know that you’re following us!  Please come out of the bushes so I can introduce you to her.  I figured this was going to happen sooner than later.  

When nothing stepped out of the bushes even though you heard the sound of rustling leaves

Horace introduced you to Millard, briefly going over the fact that he was invisible, something that seemed a lot more important to you than Horace apparently

I suppose I should explain the rest to you now shouldn’t I?

He took you to a large expensive house on the other side of town, where you were introduced to the rest of the gang

He explained the peculiardom to you, and told you what he could do

You were a little skeptical at first, but quickly realized that he wasn’t joking around

You guys were hanging out at your place when he fell asleep on the couch

This was after a mutual agreement to stop a horror film you guys were watching because of the antagonists’ mutated animal that would have given you both nightmares if you continued

At first Horace was just squirming a bit

Then he started to whimper and cry out for someone that you didn’t know

But you really understood what he was talking about when he shot up from the couch, eyes wide open and glossed over, not really focusing on anything

Oceans will rise to claim what was stolen from them, ashes will fall from the skies to punish the destructive, cities will burn in the name of greed,  after the fog lifts the only remnants will be of those who tried, we will be no longer, six-legged wings will devour us in the end

When he first started talking his voice sounded almost dreamy, but by the time he finished, he was shouting, his limbs flying everywhere, it was as if he was in physical pain, but it was only a dream

As soon as he stopped spewing out apocalyptic riddles, he slipped back into a restless sleep

You were so freaked out that you didn’t let him sleep for long, you woke him up and asked him what that whole thing was about

He told you that he didn’t remember anything he saw or said, and the ones he can’t remember barely every come true

You trusted Horace, so you relaxed and decided to put that horror film you stopped

It took a few scenes to remember why you had shut it off in the first place

Horace started taking a lot of naps at your place, he usually didn’t get a lot of sleep when he went to bed at night due to his visions

You weren’t aware how little sleep he was getting, oh the wonders of concealer 

Sleeping somewhere else didn’t stop the visions of seeing people he didn’t even know get in car accidents, get shot in a back ally, and many other worse things

He wanted to sleep wherever you were because when he would wake up in a cold sweat, he didn’t want to have to explain what he saw to Miss P, or answer Millard’s endless questions, or have to endure Enoch’s rude comments

He wanted to be with you

You would be there for him, if he wanted to talk, you would listen, if he wanted to just sit and think, you would be right next to him

He’d absolutely love your glasses!

He’d love picking out new frames with you

He’d search the whole store to find the perfect pair

And Horace would love to go shopping with you because let’s be real here, Horace is the only peculiar with any fashion sense whatsoever

Do you know happy he would be to have a conversation about fashion with someone who knows what he’s talking about

He would totally buy you outfits at completely random times for absolutely no reason

I just saw this and I knew that you would look spectacular in it, even though you look spectacular in everything under the sky, love

Did I mention that he calls you “love” all the time?

Well, he does and refuses to call you anything else

He has you in his phone (assuming he gets one when he’s out of the loop) as Love

Just Love

When he finds out that you’re vegetarian, he goes on a vegetarian kick himself

He learns a bunch of vegetarian recipes to cook for you guys

And the dishes he cooks taste so  g o o d

Horace totally revamps his own diet to match yours and is the most supportive boyfriend ever

Enoch makes fun of him a lot for it

Horace is would be an amazing boyfriend

I didn’t realize how long I made this!! I hope that you like them and I am so sorry that it took me so long to get to this!  I hope that it was worth the wait!

"...Okay, sure." shura:.....we're on speaker mode, arent we? felisia: yep. shura: -__________________-;;;;; Mephisto: "So, have Rin defeat the Impure King, or kill Rin. Take your pick." shura:....*siiiighs* alright then kids, you heard the man. go find rin and madoka, then kick some impure king ass. shiemi: oh thank you miss shu- shura: just keep this under wraps for now, ok? shiemi: *nods* konekomaru: but....where are they? Bon: *stares at Shura* shura: that's the problem... *notices something on her phone*...............mephisto......why....DIDNT YOU TELL ME....there was a GPS tracker?! Mephisto: "I put those things on so often I lost track." *holds up his map--and sees 40 different color spots on it* "...Huh. Why did I put a tracker on _that_ person?" shura: can i narrow it down? Mephisto: "The blue dot." shura: right. *hands her phone to bon* you guys find rin and madoka, i'll help subdue the impure king. Bon: "How are you going to do that?" shura: just leave it to the pros kiddos~<3 -in the woods someplace- madoka: .....*uneasy* Rin: "..." *hugging his legs, turned away from her, seated in the tree branches* madoka: ....rin?... Rin: "...How high are we?" madoka: im not sure.......rin.....am i....being selfish? Rin: "...How?" madoka: when i heard they were going to kill you....i was so scared....and i made you run away with me because i wanted to keep you safe.....i dont want you to get hurt, rin....*trembling* Rin: "..." *hug* "Love is selfish--because the person you see completes you." madoka:...*hugs him* i guess....t-that makes sense... Rin: "...Where are we going? We can't just..." madoka:....im not sure.... -creeeak- madoka: WOAH! -CRASH- Rin: "Ow..." madoka: ow....a-are you ok? *she landed on top of him* Rin: .///. *nod nod* madoka: t-thats good... *blush* konekomaru: ._.;;;; um..... izumo: there you are! madoka: O-O;; Rin: o\\\\o madoka: w-w-we-we werent doing anything lewd!! >////< izumo: um...i didnt say you were? madoka: *realizing...and grabs a branch* im not letting you hurt rin! *her hands are shaking* izumo: *facepalm* oh for the love of. we're here to _help_ him. Rin: " 'Help'?" *holds his scabbard* "Funny way to 'help' when I got a death warrant." izumo: listen knuckleheads. do you want to stay on the run forever, or do you want a chance to clear your name? Rin: "..." *puts down scabbard* "What're you thinking?" shiemi: *turns him around.....to face part of the impure king* that. madoka: ....how did we miss that? -shiemi and the others explain the situation- Rin: "...So, it's weak to fire?" izumo: *nods* madoka: you're able to control the flames better now, right rin? Rin: owo;;;; "Kinda?" izumo: good enough. let's go! Rin: "Well, I'll need something to get up there--" ???: *cough cough* madoka: ?? izumo: ??... !!! bon! isnt that your dad?! Bon: "!!!" *runs to him* "Dad? What happened?" tatsuma: s-son? is...that you?...guess...i didnt die... -a small bird appears- karura: i have healed your wounds, but you must take it easy, or else you will certainly die. Rin: "...Why is that bird talking? And on fire?" karura: i am known as karura. once upon a time i was servant of the myoda dharmani, but when the secret was exposed, that pact was anulled. i am now bound to tatsuma suguro by a personal agreement. Bon: "So Dad can stop the Impure King--" tatsuma: i cant....im already spent. but i can tell you how to beat the impure king. it will continue to grow until it is the size of a fortress. then a large spore sack will form in the center. Rin: "...Then we just got to burn this mushroom. Where's the weak spot?" tatsuma: inside of the sack. but should it rupture, it will release a deadly miasma. Rin: "Right, that thing!" *starts running* tatsuma:....15 years ago, i made a deal with karura to use the aeon wave flame. it converts one's lifespan into flames. i was planning to use it to defeat the pure king, but i was only able to hold it in place. Bon: " 'One's lifespan'..." *looks at his dad* tatsuma:...rin...i want you to use the kurikura to cleave the impure king's core like fukaku did many years prior...then i will use the remaining aeon wave to finish it off... Bon: "And what will happen to you?!" tatsuma: *smiles* the lives of hundreds are more important than the life of your good for nothing father. karura: oh? you are tatsuma's son? Bon: "...Yes, I am." karura: i am able to transfer the aeon wave to one of the high priests blood. tatsuma: NO! bon's still so young, you musnt get him involved!! i swore on my life this plague would end with me! Bon: *bites his finger, revealing blood* tatsuma: !! karura: so that's how it is then? Bon: "It is. Give it to me." karura: so be it... -a flame appears from the blood- Bon: "!!!" tatsuma:....*sigh* i never wanted you to bear this burden... Bon: *stares at the flames* "...Just have to stop this miasma before it's too late." tatsuma:...listen close son. im going to reach you a barrier sutra. listen well... izumo: .... konekomaru: .... Bon: "Barrier...How?" tatsuma: should the spore sack burst, this will prevent the miasma from escaping....so pay close attention... Bon: "Right..." *watches* -elsewhere- shura: *slicing* damn! they keep multiplying... uwabami hojo: how are things on your end, mr okumura? Yukio: *firing shots* "Trying to hold the line--with little luck!" ???: mr okumuuuuraaaa~ Yukio: *freezes* -a red light is seen in the distance- Yukio: "...!! A fire!" myoda: good! bring it over here! Yukio: "I-I don't think that's an ally coming..." Yukio: *runs towards it* -a young man with feathered ears is staring up at the sky- Yukio: "!!! Todo..." todo: *grins* lovely evening, isnt it, mr okumura? -elsewhere- tatsuma: do you get it now son? Bon: *nods* tatsuma:...you're finally becoming a man. Bon: -___-;;; "...Whatever. Let's go kill this thing." madoka: we're right behind you, bon. *smiles* Rin: *nod nod* "Let's get going!" -back with yukio- todo: come on out boy, i just want a friendly chat <3 *throws a fireball* Yukio: *dodges, fires a shot* todo: ah, there you are. you look tired. busy night i take it? Yukio: *firing more shots* todo: tsk tsk, so violent. *It's coming down onto Todo* todo: *dodge* phew. that could have gone badly. i just want to talk. so tell me, how is your brother these days? Yukio: "Nowhere near you." -elsewhere- madoka: it almost looks like a real fortress... Rin: "With a giant mushroom in the center." kuro: rin! there's a really stinky monster around! Rin: "?! Which direction?" kuro: *points to the impure king* Rin: "...Oh. Um...Well, spores kinda smell, and you got a strong sense of smell..." madoka: kuro, do you want to help us get up there? kuro: NYEH?! rin! you guys cant be serious! Rin: "Well, yeah! We need your size and great leaping ability to get us up there to squash that thing!" kuro: *sigh* alright then. *POOF* madoka: thanks kuro! ^^ Rin: "Yay!" -elsewhere- todo: *dodging bullets* my my, what got into you tonight? Yukio: *silent, firing more shots* todo: did i touch a nerve? how's your dad? Yukio: "Quiet!" *shoots at Todo's feet* todo: i heard he's in weak condition. who knows how long the old codger has left- Yukio: *leaps at Todo, firing* todo: *punch* oops. Yukio: *knocked back* "Ugh..." todo: you must be so stressed from your family holding you back. i understand that completely... -he grins- todo: you're a doctor, correct? Yukio: "Yes...and you'll need one..." todo: from what i heard, fujimoto was also a skilled doctor. as well as a skilled dragoon, but such is to be expected of a former paladin....he always gave your brother the better treatment....and what of you? you were trained to be a weapon. his replacement, so to speak. Yukio: "Quiet..." todo: you think to yourself 'this isnt fair'....admit it. you hate your brother, dont you? Yukio: "N-No! I don't--" -elsewhere- kuro: *running along the 'walls' of the impure king* madoka: woah! Rin: *hanging on* O_O -tendrils shoot at them, but madoka shoots at the tendrils with her arrows- Rin: *flames along his scabbard, as he tries to swing at them* kuro: rin! i see a bolder down there! Rin: "To land on, or toss at this thing?" kuro: to land on! Rin: "Okay! Then do it, buddy!" -nice landing- Rin: "Okay! Now, point me to it's soft spot!" madoka: bon, get ready. -a large round shape is in the center- Bon: "Okay...Just got to prepare the incantation..." madoka: we'll hold off the enemy. Rin: "Right!" *holds the scabbard on fire* madoka: *shooting arrows* Rin: *striking at flames* Bon: *inhales* -elsewhere- todo: already tired? Yukio: *panting, struggling to stay standing* todo: *smirks*.....?? oh? what's this now? Yukio: *aims again--but stumbles, firing just past Todo* -several magic circles begin to glow- todo: so you werent just aimlessly shooting....clever boy. Yukio: *smirks* "You will be contained now..." -several watery creatures appear, some female looking, some male looking, some resembling children- Yukio: "Naiads..." todo: *smirks* water beats fire....well im right in a pickle, arent i? Yukio: *gets on his knees, panting, exhausted* todo: heh. you cant even keep up...so much for in your prime....*lunges and pins him to the ground* how boring...perhaps i should kill you here and now... Yukio: "L-Let go!" -inside the impure king- madoka: rin! look out! *shooting arrows* Rin: *dodges, still trying to unsheathe his sword* "Damn it..." -elsewhere- shura: ..... !!!! oh shit- everyone! outside the barrier! now! Monk #1: "!!!" -the spore sack twitches violently- Monk #2: "That d..."Monk #2: "That ain't good..." -BOOOOOOOOOOOM- Monk #1: !!!! -elsewhere- todo: *pulls back fist* good night, yukio okumura~ *about to punch* Yukio: "NO!" *he's feeling warm...* todo: hmm? *FWOOSH* todo: *jumps back* well, this certainly is a game changer... Yukio: *trying to look* ("Everything's dark...No...Blue?") todo: seems i underestimated you...those eyes.....they arent your own... -POW- todo: *knocked back* oof- Yukio: *vision slowly returning* "Wh-What?" todo: well, fancy seeing you here mr shima. juzo: word to the wise, it's not a smart idea to go flaunting your flames about like that if you're trying to hide. Yukio: ("...Flames...") juzo: after all the lives you have ruined, there wont even be ashes left of you, todo! -inside the impure king- madoka: *cough* rin! bon! are you guys ok?? Rin: *forcing a smile, as he swings his sheathed sword at tendrils* "Just fine!" Bon: *focusing the fire* "..." kuro: *looking at a large entity* t-that's- impure king: *ROARS* -outside the barrier, rain begins to fall- Bon: "...W-We can't stop this thing...It's not possible..." -elsewhere- Yukio: "..." *light bulb* todo: *still battling juzo and the others of the myoda* Yukio: "Um, excuse me? I think I have an idea..." juzo: eh? monk: you want to make a strategy now?! Yukio: *shrug* "It's that or Todo keeps gaining ground..." juzo: ....alright. what do you have in mind? todo: done already? awww, but im just getting started~ Yukio: "So you'll hold him while we let Mother Nature weaken him..." juzo: right. narumi! shishamo! take the lead! Narumi: "Have at thee!" todo: *battling* *smirks* have at me all you like, i'll just absorb the weaker flames anyway. it's almost like trick-or-treating! juzo: TRICK OR TREAT THIS! FIRE LIFE SAMAHDI! *throws a bigass fireball at todo* -BOOOOOM- Yukio: *watches* "Just a bit more..." todo: fighting fire with fire? despite how the saying goes. it wont work-...urk-...w-what? Yukio: "Over-working yourself in your old age, teach?" todo: ....clever boy... -FWOOOOOOM- *Everyone is blown back, Yukio having to hang onto a boulder...* juzo: is he....dead? Yukio: "He's ash." ???: huhuhuhu~ Yukio: "!!!" todo: *getting up, his body ash and crumbling* making me overheat. not a bad plan...however, dont underestimate the healing abilities of a phoenix... Yukio: "No..." todo: *crumbling in the rain* oh...i forgot its raining...this might....make recovery difficult... -inside the impure king- madoka: *panting* this is bad... Rin: "J-Just have to keep going...as long as we can..." madoka: r-right. cant give up now... Bon: *stumbling, his finger still pressed to the ground* kuro: *clawing at tendrils* Bon: *panting, staring* "How much longer...?" karura: with thing going the way they are, the barrier may not last if you continue to be exposed to the miasma. Bon: "I'm fine--" *cough cough* madoka: !! Rin: "Bon! Hang on! Let us protect you like those princesses in fairy tales!" Bon: "...The hell you just call me?!" madoka: ^^;; dont worry, we got you covered! Rin: "Yep! Shining Knight Madoka and Rin to the rescu--" *cough cough* madoka: rin! Rin: *waves his hand* "I-I can do it..." *smiles* "Just trust me..." madoka: *nods and keeps shooting arrows* Bon: *on his knees and hand, trying to keep a hold...* Rin: *knocking down tendrils* impure king *ROAAAAAR* Rin: *thinking, as he sees a small flame on his shoulder* "...Could I...?" madoka: *nearly about to collapse* Rin: *remembers...* "Do these flames only burn humans or..." *spots Madoka* "!!!" *catches her* madoka: *pant* t-thanks.... RIN! BEHIND YOU! Rin: "?!" *turns* -a large tendril is coming down onto them- Rin: *tugging at his sword* "Come on, come on!" -why was i saved?- Rin: ("...I just wanted to be a hero...But then...I'm...") -why did fujimoto save me?- Rin: ("Because...Because...I...don't know.") -why are you alive?- madoka: RIN! Rin: *flames are along his back* "..." madoka: ....*holds his hand* Rin: "!!!" madoka:....*smiles* Bon: "Urk..." *falling down* madoka: !!! Bon: *he lets go* Rin: "Oh crap..." shura: *fighting off tendrils* GUYS! NOW ISNT THE TIME FOR MAKING GOOGOO EYES AT EACH OTHER! D8< Rin: "THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE DOING! I'm trying to figure out how to burn these things!" shura: USE YOUR SWORD THEN! PROVE FUJIMOTO HE WAS RIGHT TO RAISE YOU! Rin: *tugs on the sword from its sheathe* -why did he save me?- Rin: *removes the sword* "So I can do this!" *ignites in blue flames* madoka: !!! *smiles* shura: *grins* raise hell, kid. Rin: *leaps and slices at tendrils* ("This is too slow...") ???: good grief. this is pathetic to watch. Bon: *lying on the ground* "Wh-What...?" Rin: "?!" -a large bird like creature has appeared besides rin- bird: i am ucchusma. the impurity kongo. the impure king is my age old foe. the blade you wield was once our lord's weapon. if you desire to defeat the impure king, i will teach you how to guide the flame. Rin: ._. "...'Kay. What's Step #1?" -the bird has now possessed the koma sword- Rin: " So, you gave me a power-up?" ucchusma: more or less speaking. i will call forth the fire life samadhi, a flame with the power to burn anything in the material world. with that, i will purify the impure king and the whole mountain with flame using your flames of satan. Rin: "Wh-What?! By 'material,' that'd kill everyone on this mountain!" ucchusma: so? it is of little consequence. all those who entered the impure palace and were touched by its servants are contaminated. the impure king can come back from even a remnant, therefore each one must be purified. let us go. Rin: "...So, just need to burn away impurities...even those attached to living flesh..." *small sneer* ucchusma: *chanting the sutra* Rin: *repeating the chant* ("So what do I do...") madoka: *running up the steps, shooting at tendrils as she does* Rin: ("Just need to burn...") impure king: *ROOOOOOOARS* madoka: RIN! Rin: ("Burn it all...Burn it all!") -CLANG- ucchusma: ?? why do you hesitate? Rin: "...Because...I can't kill them..." -its in your nature- Rin: ("No...I mean, I know I am...Satan's son...") madoka: *jumps* -BURN IT ALL! BURN IT! SCORCH THEM! THEY WANT YOU DEAD! KILL THEM BEFORE THEY KILL YOU!- Rin: ("...I want to...") -hug- madoka: *she had jumped onto his back, and is holding him* it's ok rin... Rin: "...What do I do...?" madoka: *holds his hands* we got this. all of us. *smiles* Rin: *inhales* "O-Okay...I just have to focus--* *FWOOM* *Flames cover Rin and Madoka* madoka: !!!....*closes her eyes* it feels warm... -a large wave of blue flames appears- uwabami hojo: !!!.... wha? monk: hey, only the fungus is burning off... monk 2: feels kinda nice actually... Yukio: "...Rin...What the hell have you done...?" monk 3: LOOK! THE IMPURE KING! -the impure palace is vanishing- Shima: "...Wow..." konekomaru: he...he did it! shiemi: *smiles* i knew he could do it! izumo: well i'll be... true cross member: wait, satan's son is...helping us? true cross member 2: am i tripping balls right now? Monk #3: "Not exactly proper language..." -the impure king has vanished, and rain still falls- Rin: *panting* "...Damn..." madoka: ha.....we....*she hugs rin tightly* we did it!! Rin: .\\\\. "...We did?" *looks around...then smiles widely* madoka: ^////^ *tears falling* Rin: "???" *hug* madoka: im so proud of you rin. Rin: "...You are?" madoka: ^^ of course rin. *smiles* shura: great job, kiddos. the three of you are heroes. -several people come running up- konekomaru: okumura! Bon: *struggling to stand* Shima: "What the heck did you all do up here?!" madoka: well...we beat the impure king. ^^ izumo: *JAWDROP* she says it so casually....are you _sure_ she's a rookie? shiemi: wow! so brave. madoka: oh, i was terrified! but i couldnt let that stop me. Rin: "Always brave is more like it..." *rubs the back of his head* ^\\\^ shiemi: ?? yuki? Yukio: *grim stare, as he marches up the hill* Rin: "!!! Bro! Look what I did! I told you I'd do this!" shura: ?? Rin: "I said I'd be the hero you wanted me to be, who Dad would want, who could leave you eating my-" Yukio: *Punch* madoka: !!! shiemi: YUKI! Rin: *stunned, down on the grass* "...What the hell?!" Yukio: "I told you not to use those flames!" shura: those flames just saved our asses! Yukio: "And what if he got out of control? He is Satan's son! The powers that be could still kill him! I told you to keep control of him, and you just did not list--" Rin: *Punch* shura: *grabs him* RIN! YUKIO! CALM DOWN! *clunks their heads together* Rin: X_X Yukio: X_X madoka: D8> shura: -_-; -later- Rin: *snoring* madoka: zzzzz....*asleep next to him* Rin: *yawns, opens his eyes* "..." o\\\o madoka: *yawn* hmm? hey rin....how's your head?

Mephisto: "..." *smiles at her* "You know what would be a shame?" shura: is this going to be some vague threat? Mephisto: "Not vague. A promise." shura:.....*removes the kunai and heads for the door* i got my eye on you.........oh...and tell felisia i said congrats on her pregnancy. *exits* Mephisto: "...Huh." felisia:....*hug* i trust your judgement...call it instinct i guess....
