A snakes comfort
@abellyfulloffriends 💕
It was a quiet moment, a time of closeness but not quite peace. Rosey was happily against Tero's side, in his coils as they were both lounging on a large stuffed chair. Teros tail would not stop shifting and twitching, showing that they were nervous about something, and Rosey wanted to help him.
So she gently wiggled out of his coils, his tail immediately releasing her and he looked at her. "I know it's all so new, and it can be so scary, but it's ok, Tero." she walked up his reclined body and sat on his collar, eyes locked onto her face. "You don't have to push yourself or change or anything. It's a learning experience and It can be scary but remember Adam and I are here for you." She cupped her small hand against the naga's cheek, his lips quivering with emotion and eyes becoming misty.
"but what if I hurt you?" he whispered since she was so close.
"you won't." She affirmed
"but how do you know that? I-I'm just so scared of hurting other people," he whined eyes watering more.
"I know that because you haven't yet and because that's not who you are." She wiped away a tear as it started to slide down his face. "I know this because you're scared of it Tero, meaning that you will do anything in your power to make sure it never happens." A small gasp and a choked back sound escaped Teros throat.
He curled around her hands shakily hovering behind her. She nodded and he quickly swept her up curling around her and letting out a quiet sob. She shushed him humming a song that she made up, the melody calming and full of love. then she started to sing.
the world is scary and we know that true but listen to me and listen to you despite our pasts and trials we are here there's no denial you are loved and seen and strong and kind and everything nice in between so ease your mind and know: it's going to be ok
Teros breathing started to calm and rosey made sure to kiss away every tear that was shed. Letting Tero know that she loved him, that she was here for them through hard times and good times.
Everything's going to be ok, even if we are unsure of what is to come, hold those you love close and they will hold you closer.

Media Naranja
Tumblr media
media naranja (n.) one’s better half; a partner, a spouse, or a soulmate; lit. “half of an orange”
Everything about life certifiably sucked ass, at least in Connor Murphy’s opinion.
His family never understood him, his social standing at school was beyond pitiful, and his love life, laughable.
You’d think as someone who was about to be a senior would have more to say for himself rather than a nobody who didn’t have a single friend and spent most of his time in a bitter state of self-hatred to make up for his lack of control over himself.
Not mention almost everyone thought he was absolutely insane, and sure he’ll admit he as a bit of a temper.
And sure maybe he could try a little harder to be nicer to everyone around him.
But that’s not the point here.
No, No, as far as Connor Murphy was concerned he didn’t care about a single thing that was happening in his life. He was simply a passenger on a ride he couldn’t seem to get off of.
As far as his family was concerned though, he was just some misfit who spent majority of his time getting high in the back of the woods and spent far too much of his time alone.
“I’m sure if you tried, you’d make lots of friends, sweetie.” His mother said to him one morning at the breakfast table as she refilled her coffee mug.
Connor couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “I’ll make friends when I make them, stop worrying about it.”
Zoe pushed her cereal around her bowl. “Nobody wants to be friends with someone who’s so pessimistic all the time.”
“Nobody asked you, smartass.” Connor said sharply, before pushing himself away from the table and getting up to leave.
“Where are you going?” His mom asked quickly as she side-scolded her daughter.
“Out.”
“Well when will you be home?”
“Don’t know, when I feel like it.” He answered, shoving on his coat.
“Connor!” His mother called, but it fell upon deaf ears as the front door slammed shut.
There were only a few places Connor took solace in, and it was usually on the outskirts of town where nobody else went to, more often then not they were secluded areas or abandoned lots where he was absolutely certain no one would be.
Today was no different, he was playing music loudly through his headphones as he walked the usual path to one of his favorite hideaways.
It was close to where he lived, but beyond the nice houses and lavish gardens was an scenic spot of land. What was once a small graveyard was turned into an open sitting area tucked away in a small grove of trees. The only evidence that it was there was a simple walking path that went along the back end.
The summer was coming to a close, the trees were stripped of their green hue and replaced with shades of crimson and gold. And sitting in the center of it all was a tall bronze water fountain with a statue of an angel purched at the top, one of it’s hands held outward as it reached for the sky.
Connor wasn’t a religious kind of person, but looking at it always gave him an odd sense of serenity and it helped him think. The quiet also did wonders to help with all the thoughts zooming around his head.
He made the usual turn, expecting to be greeted with the usual empty sitting area, with the only the rustling of the leaves to keep him company.
So imagine his surprise when instead, he sees you sitting at one of the wooden benches facing away from him, with what looked like a stack of books sitting beside you.
Connor pulled a face, wondering who the hell managed to find his secret hideaway. Maybe his sister found out where he went and decided to have one of her friends torment him.
He yanked his headphones out of his ears and shoved them in his coat pocket as he went around to the other side of the fountain, trying to get a better look at you. But your face was burried in the thick book you were reading so he couldn’t make out any of your features.
Deciding there was no other option, he stomped off the path, walking through the grass and making his way over to you.
He stopped a couple feet away, somewhat surprised the obnoxiously loud sound his boots made against the stone wasn’t enough to draw your attention.
“Hey!” Connor said, trying his hardest to look as pissed as possible, folding his arms tightly.
You didn’t say anything, you didn’t even move.
“Hey, I’m talking to you!” He said louder, moving closer.
He was silent for a few seconds, debating if he should go as far as to snatch the book out of your hands and make you listen to him.
Just then, your eyes flickered up to his and then down again, but noticing someone before you, you raised your head, trying to decipher if you recognized him.
“Listen dumbass, what are you-” Connor cut himself off whenever he got a full look at you.
You were pretty.
Like really pretty.
Like ‘hot damn where have you been all my life’ pretty.
Connor just stared for a minute, honestly taken back a little. He even felt his face get warm.
You took out your headphones and turned to him. “I’m sorry were you saying something?”
Oh wow, your voice was nice too.
But nevermind that, remembering that he was supposed to be angry he scoffed. “Oh, so she does speak.”
You blinked languidly, wondering how you got in this situation. “I’m sorry?”
“Did my sister put you up to this?” Connor asked, slowly but surely getting more angry by the minute. “That’s what’s happening here, my darling little sister had you come up and invade my space just to piss me off, didn’t she.”
Now you were annoyed too. “Excuse me?” You asked, setting your book aside. “Invading your space, if i remember, you were the one who interrupted me.”
“What the fuck did you just say?” Connor asked as he tried to keep his temper in check.
“I was sitting here reading by myself, I wasn’t interrupting anyone,” You said as you made a show of opening your book again. “Besides, even if I did have the misfortune of knowing your sister, I certainly wouldn’t take the time to bother someone as miserable as you.”
That was it.
Connor was practically spitting steam out of his ears.
“Yeah? Well I certainly shouldn’t be wasting my time talking to a bitch like you, but hear I am!” He was raising his voice now, the birds that had gathered around the fountain all flew away.
You were looking wide-eyed at him now, a bit surprised by the sudden increase in his volume.
“Huh, you suddenly have a lot less to say now, don’t you!”
“Why are you so angry?!” You yelled back as you stood from the bench, beginning to grow tired of his unwarranted attitude.
That was what snapped him out of it.
Connor’s face fell and he looked at you curiously. “What?” He asked, now becoming quiet.
“Why are you so angry! It’s not like I did anything to you. You don’t even know who I am and you’re going off on me!”
Why are you so angry?
It was a question Connor asked himself all the time, a question his sister once cried at him while he was in the midst of one of his fits of rage.
“I-I’m sorry.” He said, grasping onto the shoulder strap of his bag tightly with his hands, trying to make himself as small as possible.
Now was your turn to be quiet, was this guy bipolar or something?
Still, there was something about the look on his face that made you forget about being angry.
“Well,” You started before shoving your hands into the pockets of your cardigan. “Thank you for apologizing.”
Connor’s hand went to the back of his neck, scratching his head as he flushed in embarrassment.
It was quiet, Connor almost forgot you were there for a moment until your voice brought back into the moment.
“What’s your name?”
Connor frowned. “Why do you wanna know?”
You quickly held your hands up. “Nothing, I just wanna introduce myself to you.”
“Fine, you can go first then.”
You gave him a look before shaking your head. “(Y/n). My name’s (Y/n).”
He nodded, taking note to remember that you weren’t one of Zoe’s freinds. “Um, well mine’s Connor Murphy.”
“It’s nice to meet you, Connor Murphy.” You said, now standing in front of him as you hold out your hand.
He looked at it for a moment, giving it a look.
“You shake it.”
“I know what a handshake is.” He said sternly before yanking your hand and shaking it.
You quickly took your hand back, laughing a little as you rubbed your wrist. “Then maybe next time you won’t have to pull so hard.”
Connor looked scandalized for a moment. “What d'you mean next time, are we meeting again?”
You noticed his expression and quickly reverted. “Well I mean if you don’t wanna meet me again, I can find somewhere else to read and-”
“No!” Connor said, much too loud and too urgently for his liking.
He cleared his throat and crossed his arms. “I mean I don’t really care if you come back or not,” He said trying his hardest not to look at your face. “I’m just saying it might be nice to have someone who doesn’t totally annoy me hanging around.”
You nodded, deciding it was his special, long winded way of telling you you could hang around him here.
“Well okay then.” You told him, glad the tense atmosphere had disappeared.
“Do you come here often?” Connor asked before his brain stopped him. “Uh…no, i didn’t mean for that to come out the way it did,” He said, his eyes locking with yours as his mouth hung open while he tried to cover for himself. “You know what, nevermind.”
“Yes,” You answered, “I come here a couple times a week if I’m not busy.”
“Cool, cool,” Connor said as he kicked the ground, arms now limp. “So…I’ll see you around then?”
You nodded. “See you around, Connor Murphy.”
His mouth flickered up in the slightest hint of a smile before he turned around on his heel to walk away from you. When he reached the beginning of the tree grove he turned around, wanting to see if you were still there.
Then he realized he just awkwardly made eye-contact with you again before quickly turning around and zooming away to his house.
A/n: aaaAAAAA i did it, i wrote for DEH and i was internally crying the whole time. I actually really love Connor’s character so writing this was super fun, but I’m still new to the musical so i’m sorry for any character inconsistencies.
I’m halfway through a bootleg of the thing but from what I’ve seen Connor is the sort of character who’s real insecure and actually a decent person, but when he’s angry it just all goes out the window. (lots of prince adam vibes, eh?)
