𝐆𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐞 - What is the weirdest thing you’ve eaten?

my mom and i used to make this depression meal when i was still living with her. we were both unmedicated and undiagnosed autistic so we just combined a bunch of our safe foods into one big burrito. it was a can of corned beef hash, shredded pepperoni, shredded cheese, sour cream, and taco sauce, all wrapped up in a giant tortilla. all wed have to do is open a can and toss it in a pan and then wed be good so it was helpful when we both hadnt eaten all day and could barely drag ourselves outta bed

𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬�� - What’s the worst place you have ever been to?

Ghil Dirthalen: 'Interview with John Epler || Dragon Age: The Veilguard {Marketing Spoilers}'

(Before deciding whether to watch this video, please note the spoiler warning in the title and in the video description below. ^^ also the segments of the video I mention below are not to do with DA:TV!)

Video description: "Welcome, welcome! I was honored with being able to go to the Veilguard preview event earlier this month, and I got 20 minutes of John Epler's time to ask him questions on the upcoming game! Epler is currently the Creative Director for Veilguard, but has been with the series for ages now. Near the tail end of the video, I do ask questions about some details of the game that were released in marketing so far, so please keep that in mind!"

[source]

Segment:

Ghil: "Kind of in the background doing a lot of heavy lifting in the fandom is a Tumblr user called Felassan." John Epler: "Yes." Ghil: "And they're actually a very good friend of mine. And I know that they would just be overjoyed if I asked to your face, is there any chance that we can get a Last Court just out, back out into the wild?" John Epler: "Last Court - the problem, I would say I don't actually have a great answer to that one, largely because that's not, that's not fully ours, that's owned by another company, so."

Baby Kodzuken ❤️ I'd love it if his followers were a gushing in the comments about how cute the baby is and how happy Kenma is when he talks about his baby boy and us (his wife)? I love Kenma and the thought of him as a dad is just the cutest to me. Thank you so much! Take care 🫶🏻

≪ back to fics masterlist

kozume kenma x f!reader

a/n: OH MY GODSHKKAFYSYVUDNGUSYRGUKSYKS THIS IS LITERALLY THE CUTEST IDEA EVERRR OMG thanku for requesting my dear kenma anon ❤️ i'm so sorry this took WAY longer to publish than expected so THANK YOU for having the patience of an angel 😭 i really hope this was worth the wait so pls enjoy! lots of love and u take care too <33

cw: TIMESKIP SPOILERS, parenting au, domestic fluff, slice of life kinda thing, chat gg crazy bc kenma is an amazing dad. GREEN FLAG DAD KENMA

"Hey guys, welcome back. I've got a very special announcement to make today, so here we are," Kenma adjusted his camera, smiling slightly.

It was a regular Tuesday evening and you were taking the time to do some self-care, which left Kenma with his second favourite thing in the world - his son.

As a YouTuber, professional gamer, stock trader, streamer and CEO of his own company, Kenma's work schedule was extremely flexible, and both of you were grateful for that. Not only did he have various sources of income, but he could be home as much as he wanted. And being home meant being able to spend time with his precious son, Kozume Kaito.

Kaito was your six month old bundle of joy - literally. If you had told Kenma a decade ago that he'd be a dad one day, he would have never believed you. Until, that is, you had Kaito.

Even before Kaito's birth, Kenma had no idea how he was supposed to take care of and raise a whole child. He just knew that he wanted to be the best father you and Kaito could've ever asked for. And so, you saw how stressed he could got about even the tiniest of things.

"What size clothes do we buy for him? Will S or M be better? What if he's a huge baby? Let's just get one of each size... Wait, what about pacifiers? A-and bottle hoods? What shape will he prefer? Longer ones? Shorter ones? Softer or slightly tougher ones? Ugh forget it, we'll get one of each type too."

However, all his worries disappeared the moment he held little baby Kaito in his arms. Kenma had never really been a crier, but the second he laid eyes on your beautiful son, he couldn't help but let it all out in the hospital ward.

"Can you guys see me clearly?" Kenma asked. The excited responses of "YESSS" "what's the surprise??" "OMG YOU'RE SO PRETTY" "yes i can see your handsome face" confirmed that his camera was indeed working just fine. Amused, he chuckled lightly. "Great. I'll be right back."

As he left the frame, his viewers were left staring at the background screen in his office, a big logo of Bouncing Ball Corp. After a few seconds of silence, some shuffling could be heard as Kenma returned with a chubby ball of energy in his arms. The moment he stepped back into frame with his beloved son in hand, the chat exploded.

kodzukenner: NO WAY IS THAT YOUR BABY??? riceballzzz: CUTIEEEEEEEEE AHHHH nek0mab1tch: omg he has a kid ?? ADORABLE miyamiya07: hawajhjchdjvhhfjhfrsjkhfdhasjhjchjfhjvhkrh lookattheclouds: since when?! vballer1208: HE HAS A CHILD??????????????

Kenma proudly held up his son like he had won an Olympic trophy - he simply adored Kaito. Meanwhile, Kaito watched, enamoured, as comments flooded the chat. Among those comments were also questions about Kaito and even you.

He knew the news of his son would be a major surprise to his online community, especially since the two of you had very successfully hidden your pregnancy from the public. Neither of you wanted to deal with all the pressure from netizens, media and the public.

"'He has Y/n's smile'," Kenma read one comment aloud. Chuckling, he agreed, "He does, doesn't he? He's lucky to inherit the most beautiful smile on earth."

Another comment asked where you were, and when Kenma simply replied with "Doing her own stuff." some commenters gushed about how cute it was that Kenma was on "babysitting duties".

With a scrunch of his face, Kenma retorted, "It's not babysitting. He's literally my child. Y/n's just doing her own stuff, what's the big deal? Come on, y'all gotta delete those gender role stereotypes from your heads, that's so 1950s." He huffed.

"'What's his name?'" Kenma read. "Hm. Y/n and I have actually decided not to reveal his name, so we hope you'll respect our decision."

kodzukenner: omg i wonder what his name is he's so cute i'm sure his name is as cute as him! nek0mab1tch: what if they named him kodzuken bouncingballer: baby kodzuken HAHA miyamiya07: OMG BABY KODZUKEN ??

Kenma chuckled as he read the comments guessing his child's name.

"'Is he joining today's stream?'" Kenma read aloud. Turning to his son with a gentle smile on his face, he replied, "You bet. Aren'tcha, big guy?"

In response, Kaito burst into a fit of giggles, excitedly babbling and pointing at the big screen in front of him.

The comments once again exploded into cheers of happiness as Kenma sat down in his usual gaming position, but this time, with his beloved son in his lap.

a/n: i'm so sorry this is really short 😭😭 but i hope it's okay :,) tysm for requestingg! hope you liked it bae <3

[aha-chuu]

That event though,,,,,

So Kaveh wins and refuses the money because of all the baggage attached, which Alhaitham already kinda knew about cos it's the whole reason he's involved. Anyway they're still roommates.

But mostly.

Kaveh takes leftovers home

Alhaitham expects him to do this

All his friends know he keeps talking about Alhaitham

Alhaitham worries too - all that stuff about Kaveh's dad and the guilt comes up and Alhaitham keeps trying to shut it down!

Kaveh thanks Alhaitham!!

Alhaitham is a teasing bastard who wants three thankus, please 🥺

Kaveh invited Alhaitham to dinner too, his treat

Alhaitham got all "uhh yes um yes that no no thanku" babe do you want him to take you on a date. Is that it.

Rn I'm getting a lot more pining vibes from Alhaitham but he's too tsundere to actually get any of it across, plus he quite likes whatever the fuck they have going on rn. Meanwhile Kaveh is trying to fuck off, sort of, except every time his friends ask him if he's okay he doesn't tell them so there's literally no opportunity for him to move out which sounds like he doesn't actually wanna move out tbh.

Like, he gets the prize money and he is a person of integrity so he doesn't take it. But some people characterise Alhaitham as weirdly abusive (which is wrong, just incorrect) but if he were actually like that then Kaveh would be surely desperate enough to take some of the money just to rent a new place?? Or at least take Cyno's money when he first offers, or accept the research funding so he can get more work - but Kaveh isn't desperate at all to leave.

If you read Kaveh's character stories, you know he mostly just feels guilty about putting Alhaitham out. But Alhaitham likes Kaveh living with him!!

They are very much still bickering old married couple who have divorced twice etc, but I do think this event is a stepping stone to a slightly more overtly stable dynamic. Kinda like how Diluc and Kaeya went from outright malice to something more understanding. We'll almost certainly see more Alhaitham in Kaveh's hangout event, so I'm sure more groundwork will be laid there.

Anyway yeah it's good, really very good. Kaveh is a great character on his own but their ship also exists and is very cute - I also am not certain, but to my knowledge they are the ship that has had the most dialogue in game together? Except a few traveller ships but, you know, that's 49.9% Paimon, 0.1% traveller.

I hope you all liked the event too! I wonder if there are secret locations to find everyone in after the fact?

[evansbby]

i’m not sure if you have done an ask on this before so apologies if you have. but how do you think poyt steve would react if he was really sick and omega had to take care of him, like bringing him medicine and food in bed and checking his temperature. would he be kinda daddy about it and thank her for everything? or be a really insecure alpha and tell her he doesn’t want her doing any of that because he’s supposed to he the one taking care of her🤔🤔🤔 thanku bby!💗💗💗

Steve would secretly LOVE being taken care of! He’d be how men typically are when they have the slightest cold and they act like they’re dying 😂

He’d pretend to be all like “hmph, I don’t need anyone to take care of me 😤” for like five seconds before giving in. He likes how his omega takes care of him, how natural she is at it. She makes him chicken noodle soup from scratch 🥹 and massages his back and head and gives him medicine and cuddles and Steve is literally enjoying life sooo much that he’d pretend he’s still sick after a few days when he’s better, bc he loves all the attention he’s getting from her and loves this extra-nurturing side of her 🥺🥺🥺

Like “babe I’m too weak to eat the soup, you’re gonna have to do it for me” and then she feeds him the soup while sitting in his lap and he’s inwardly like 😏😏😏. He also says that sex would make his fever go away and of course she has to comply 😂😂

Although Steve would die if his friends saw him acting like this while sick bahahahah

[felassan]

thank you for being literally the best resource on dragon age news there is. youre the backbone of this fandom and truly i dont know what we’d do without you. thank you so much!!!!

[gemstone-roses]

Hi!!! How you doing?

It's me again. Ik it's been like years.

Thank you so much for the last fic it really brightened my month tbh. I saw someone mentioned taking legal action but sadly in the country where I live mental illness isn't taken seriously. So yeah but I got a new job so it's cool.

Anyway lol.

Could I get Hannibal/Will x gn/male fic?

Reader has an expensive car that they always brag about(not in a mean way) and say they love the car more than the world. Then Will/Hannibal borrowed the car and got into an accident nothing too major. So they call reader expecting them to freak out but the reader shows up and hugs them. Reader tells them that they don't give a fuck about the car they're just glad their darling is safe. Maybe the first-time reader admits they love them? Or some mutual tears?

I suspect Will would freak out because he couldn't pay for the car and Hannibal would just be chill lol.

Love ya and hope you have an amazing week!

Ps. Sorry for the long message I've overthought this into oblivion.

~🦊

Hi! Glad to hear you got a new job! Sorry that happened to you. Also sorry it took me so long I kinda lost my muse a bit and yeah.... anyway, here you go, and thankyou for requesting, it keeps me going! I know very little about cars and driving so keep that in mind🥺

warnings: minor car accident, swearing, 18+ thanku!

Hannibal wasn't one to be jealous, not at all, but he did pause every morning and admire your car in the parking area. A small smile dancing across his face. He'd heard you talking about your car, your pride and joy, you said, not showing off, just genuinely happy and well, proud of the brilliant car you owned.

You and hannibal were close, you harbored feelings for the man. So when he asked if he could borrow your car for an afternoon of course you said yes.

What you weren't expecting was a phone call a few hours later from hannibal, slightly out of breath but still his calm self.

"Y/N, don't worry I'm fine but I'm afraid there's been a slight accident, and your car its-

You hang up the phone before he can finish, hannibal frowns on the other end.

Will gives you a ride, getting out the car you run straight to hannibal.

Wrapping your arms around him he's taken aback slightly, but he returns your hug.

"Oh thank god your okay!" You breathe.

"But, your car?" Hannibal questions lightly. He knew you loved that car more than anything... or so he thought..

"I don't care about the car! Fuck, the thought of you being hurt and-

"Y/N, I'm fine it's just a scratch honestly!" Hanbibal soothes, his hands on your shoulders.

"I, I couldn't bare the thought of something happening to you I-

You look at him hoping he's somehow developed mind reading capabilities and you don't have to say it.

"I loveyou" you say fast, hannibal pulls you back into his arms.

"I am so glad to hear you say that y/n because I've been wanting to say this for a while... I love you"

And despite your car being a total write off, and hannibal mildly injured, you were the happiest you've ever been.

[arvensimp]

Please do a Arven x male s/o hcs 🥺 (like how did they realise their feelings, possibly nsfw too describing their first time hehe) thanku <3

Hello! I hope you like this one!

-

Love Like You

Arven x male!reader, nsfw, realizing feelings, and just a really dumb reader lmfao. Also a bit of praise kink/body worship if you squint? These two are just v loving.

--

It only made sense for you and Arven to start wandering the region together after graduation. The two of you were thick as thieves after all. Also, truth be told, you don't have much a talent for cooking, and Arven still doesn't care much for battling, so you're pretty well suited to stick together!

Days turn to weeks on the roads, backpacking and just having a blast in general. It's just the two of you, and you can't imagine things getting any better. At night when Arven serves up dinner for the two of you and your teams, you do silly voices for each of the pokemon, thanking him individually for his hard work, just to see him smile and hear that infectious laugh of his.

You set your sleeping bags side by side, and as you fall asleep, you watch the stars together. Neither of you knows anything about astronomy or astrology, so you just make up stories about the shapes you find among the pin points. Arven gestures to a particular set of stars one night, reaching out of his sleeping bag to show you exactly where he's looking, but it's no use, and you tell him as such. You have no idea what cluster he's talking about.

"Besides, Arceus knows you're only looking up at the sky with half your sight anyway, the way you keep your face hidden!" You tease him with a laugh, reaching out of your own sleeping bag to jostle his pointing hand.

The touch burns like fire, and you quickly pull away, feeling self conscious, but Arven doesn't seem to pick up on anything. He only snorts.

"I see just fine! I'm telling you, I'll look it up..." He yawns. "Tomorrow, or somethin'..." His arm retracts back into the bag, and you're suddenly wishing you could feel that burn from him again.

He turns to you, eyes already closed. "Night, lil buddy..."

"Yeah. Night, big buddy..."

You fall asleep with a strange, not unpleasant feeling rolling in the pit of your stomach.

The feeling doesn't go away by morning, and it seems that being around Arven has slowly become... different. The thing last night with that touch? Just one of a thousand instances lately. You ache for the chance to have him pat your shoulder or the top of your head over a stupid joke or for doing something well. Then again, the thought of him touching you also makes your tummy burst in something like nerves, all wriggling and wracking you from the inside out. Just being around him gets you all giddy and nervous and incapable of thinking straight.

You wonder if you're sick or something; you think about maybe leaving for a bit, going home and just resting. Maybe you've been on the road for too long?

You try to bring it up to Arven one night as you're sitting around the campfire, tossing table scraps to your pokemon to see who's best at catching them (skeledirge can be surprisingly agile when he wants to be!).

"Hey, so uh..." You start, tugging away another piece of bread from a slice. Arven looks up at you across from the fire, a pecha berry halfway between his lips. His eyes seem to sparkle in the glow of the flickering heat.

"Hm?" He asks as he bites into the fruit, entirely innocently, but so...beautifully.

You watch him watch you with wide eyes as he chews, swallows, and licks away the juice that beaded at the edge of his lower lip. Just the tiniest peak of his pink tongue that reaches out, and you forget entirely what you'd mentally rehearsed.

Your slice of bread crumbles just a bit in your hands.

"I-I..." Your face suddenly feels flush, hot. You can't look at his eyes. They're too pretty with flames dancing in azure irises. His mouth is also out of the question. Something about his lips? Your mind won't let you linger.

You look to his hands, strong and gentle, with long fingers that can sprinkle salt and layer ingredients in a sandwich, and run through your hair.

You can't look at his hands.

You look to the ground, head spinning.

"I don't feel good."

"Yeah?" He asks, not yet making the move to stand but certainly watching you more closely. "What's up? Stomach? Head? We should have plenty more water if you're dehydrated."

"I dunno..." You slump over a bit, broken and frustrated, and that gets Arven on his feet.

"I'm getting you some water, 'kay? How about you get to bed early tonight? I can take care of the rest of everything." Arven's already kneeling at your side with your water bottle in hand, freshly refilled. "Or we can call a cab. Did you wanna go home?"

You take the water bottle from him, and with hands now free he's got one at your back, stroking small comforting circles. You jolt at the sensation but quickly melt into it, smiling to yourself. Those butterflies are back in your stomach, making you every kind of anxious, but... Arven's here. That makes it feel better. You want to cling to that.

You take a deep, long swig of your drink, and Arven doesn't leave your side.

"You good, bud?" He asks as you puff out an exhale.

"Dunno... My head feels...swimmy..." One of your hands also clutches at your stomach lightly trying to calm the swarm of flutters.

Arven moves himself to be in your line of sight, pushing back his bangs to get a better look at you.

"Do you have a fever, maybe?" He asks, pressing his palm to your forehead.

The touch is warm but no warmer than you already were, given your intense flush at having Arven so close. When his hand touches your face like that, you jolt, but again a part of you forces yourself to relax against his touch.

He's only Arven after all.

He stays there for one...two...three long moments.

"I...I don't know what should feel like a fever or not, sorry." He admits then goes to stand. "We should get you to sleep though. Or that cab. Do you think you should sleep here or at home? Keep drinking your water, too."

"Uh..." A rational part of your mind tells you that you should go home. You need time away from Arven to figure out what the hell is going on with you. Thing is, that little voice is being drowned out by the much larger part of your brain (or is it your heart?) telling you that you just want Arven back near you again. Touching your forehead, rubbing calming circles into your back, pressing his mouth to yours--

And there it is. The realization washes over you like running water, chilling you to the bone and making you physically shiver.

You've fallen for your best friend in the world.

Fuck, you're stupid for not realizing it sooner. Of course you love him! He's amazing! His food is probably the best in the world, and he's got such beautiful hair? His eyes? God, you could swim in them... And he's so good and sweet when he wants to be! Of course you love him, it all makes so much sense!

You start to chuckle a bit as you sit there with your head in your hands.

Arven looks at you confusedly from where he's standing above you.

"Uh... Buddy? Did you hit your head earlier, and I missed it?"

Your chuckling turns into a full on giggle, then a laugh. You nearly fall off your seat.

"Okay, bud. You're kinda starting to worry me here." Arven leans back down to your level. "I'm gonna call a cab and take you back to your place, okay?"

"I-It's okay," You finally respond as the laughter subsides. "I just, uh... Realized something stupid. Like, really dumb."

"Uh-huh..." He can tell you won't elaborate further, so Arven lets it drop. "I'm still calling the cab though. You probably need to sleep in a real bed for the night."

So the two of you get whisked back to your apartment, which is basically just a storage area for your stuff in between camping excursions. Arven sees you off to bed, telling you that he'll be on the sofa for the night and is nearby if you need anything.

You want to protest and tell him that he doesn't have to do that. He can go back out or share the bed with you, but neither seems entirely appropriate, as much as you really would like to cuddle up to him. Wow, you have it bad for him, huh.

You lay awake in your bed that night, knowing Arven is just a few steps away from your door, ready to take care of you if needed, and your heart hurts.

You've gotta tell him. It wouldn't be right to hold onto something like this. Plus, that'll give you the chance to pick up the pieces and move on faster. He's your best friend. He won't leave you over something so silly as a crush on him.

So you resolve to tell him in the morning.

And then you don't. You just can't form the words. They get trapped in your throat like a too-big bite of food, blocking off your airway. You can only swallow down the lump slowly and try again.

Arven for his part seems to take your bizarre behavior in stride. In his mind you just don't feel well, so he makes you promise to go see a doctor and gets out of your hair with a final reminder that he's just a text away if you need anything at all.

After you usher him out the door with a smile and a wave, you collapse against the frame and sink to the floor.

You're so fucked.

But you do end up seeing a doctor.

Well...kinda.

You don't often return to the academy, maybe making the trip every month or so to check in with Jacq or Saguaro. Sometimes Clavell (or your good buddy Clive, as you like to remind him) has something league related to ask you.

Sometimes, like now, you go to hang out with Miriam and shoot the shit when all the students are in class and she's free from her own classes.

You sit there in a spinny chair going in circles.

"What the hell am I gonna do here?"

Miriam sighs, eyeing you from her desk as she taps a pencil against her lips. "I mean. I'm still surprised you two weren't already dating."

Your cover your face in your hands. "Miriam! That doesn't help! How do we even know he even likes guys at all?!"

"Sweetie." She deadpans. "Are you kidding me?"

"I'm serious!"

"Yeah, I really don't think you need to worry about that. Promise."

You groan. "This is fucked."

"I'm telling you, it's not that complicated. Make the guy a sandwich or something and tell him you wanna smooch. It's that easy."

"Yeah, for you! Aren't you like a former model or something?"

She laughs. "And you're a Paldean champion. C'mon the two of you have been hanging out together for how long now? Have faith in Arven. Even if he doesn't reciprocate, he won't be an asshole."

Well. He can be an asshole, but he stopped being one to you years ago. You just don't say that part out loud.

"You're right..." You admit. "I'm just gonna have to do this."

"Atta boy!" She cheers. "Wanna lollipop or something? Will that make it easier?"

"....yeah."

You leave the academy with like 5 cherry lollipops and a new resolve.

When you get home you text Arven that you're done at the doctor's and you're fine. He basically responds with a thumbs up emoji, but that's usually about as much as you get from him with texts.

You ask if he wants to come over to your place for dinner, and you get the same reply almost immediately.

Cool. So you're doing this. Gonna tell your best friend that you want to be boyfriends. Oof.

You've faced off against scarier things than this. It'll be fine.

So you grab some takeaway from the treasure eatery (Larry really turned you onto those rice balls) and then decide to make something from scratch in the kitchen. Arven would appreciate that. He always cooks, so it makes sense that he might appreciate you putting forth the effort, too.

You call your mom and have her text you your favorite sugar cookie recipe. They should be easy enough, and it's not like you're hopeless in the kitchen.

Arven arrives to warm food on plates on your kitchen's breakfast bar, since you don't really have a dining room in your apartment. You've just finished putting the cookies in the oven, thankfully, so Arven doesn't see the surprise. (Fuck. Hopefully it isn't too cringe?)

"So you're all good then? No concussion or flu or brain eating parasite?" He asks after tossing his massive backpack onto the sofa and sitting on a barstool.

"Yup. Just overexerted myself, I guess." You reply with a laugh, joining him across the bar. "Got kinda worked up into a frenzy or something."

"Yeah you got kinda weird there before I took you home." He tells you matter-of-factly as he digs in. "You were kinda getting cozy in the cab, ya know? Thanks for the food by the way!"

You flush furiously. "Uh. Yeah... Sorry about that. I didn't realize I made you uncomfortable." Fuck fuck fuck. Abort abort abort.

Arven snorts, bringing another mouthful to his lips. He speaks as he chews with a hand over his mouth, so you can't see a good part of his face. "Hardly. I didn't mind at all! You're my little buddy, after all. It just wasn't like you to get cuddly like that..." He coughs a bit. "But it's more than fine with me, y'know?"

You don't know, but you nod anyway. "So... I should get cuddly more often?" You hazard, feeling like you've just stepped into very dangerous territory.

Arven pauses, his gaze darts to you but then he suddenly becomes fixated on the patterned tile of the bar.. "I-I mean... I'm not saying you have to be that way. Like I'm not... I mean. I guess, I just mean... I want you to feel safe? With me?" He trails off.

Your stomach lurches. "I do!" It comes out far too loud. "I-I mean," You adjust your volume. "I do feel safe. With you. You're basically my favorite person..." You force a little laugh to lighten the vibe, but it just comes off as nervous. You push some food around on your plate.

Arven reaches across the bar to take your hand.

"You're my favorite person, too."

It takes all your courage to meet his gaze in that instant, and you just about feel yourself melt into a puddle from the soft look Arven is giving you.

"I like you so much." It comes out in a rushed half-spoken whimper, and you cringe as it leaves your mouth. You go to pull your hand away, correct yourself somehow, but Arven holds it tight in his grasp.

"What?"

"I-I..." You feel your throat closing up on you. Fuck what if this is anaphylaxis? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? Or wait, is it worse to be confessing your crush to your best friend?

"I like you too." Arven supplies softly when he sees that you've gotten lost in your head again.

You look at him, astounded. "Y-yeah?"

He slowly smiles, eyes going soft again. "Uh...haha, yeah. I do." It's his turn to blush under your gaze. He squeezes your hand again, and you squeeze back without thinking. "For a long time now actually. I just...I didn't know if you'd feel the same?"

"Same!" You reply. "I mean... I only realized what I was feeling...like a few days ago? But...I think it's been there for a while now." You laugh softly, feeling a crushing weight lift from your chest. Your other hand reaches over the bar to grab at his, which he gladly takes. "I like you." You say with a smile, more sure of yourself, revelling in the feeling.

Arven looks starstruck. "I like you too."

"Hold on!" You say quickly as you let go of Arven's hands. In less than a moment, you're around the bar and on the same side as him. You take his hands in yours again and get in closer now that the barrier is gone.

"Okay. Better."

Arven laughs and rolls his eyes. He's still seated on the barstool, so your heights are fairly even. He pulls you into a hug which you eagerly return, squeezing him close. The two of you laugh the tiniest bit in it, the relief feeling like a soothing balm.

When you pull away, Arven keeps you close and meets your gaze. He's got that soft gooey look again, and you have to remind your knees to keep you upright. He smiles, a single dimple appearing on one of his cheeks. You watch him look to your mouth.

He leans in, eyes closing, and you follow the motion.

Your lips meet in the middle, and it doesn't feel like a burn or like static electricity or a jolt. It's just. Warm. And soft. Just like Arven.

He pulls away before you do, and your mouth chases his a fraction of an inch. He huffs a laugh through his nose, barely audible.

You stand there quietly together for who knows how long, just looking at one another, leaning in for soft kisses on the cheeks and mouth, until Arven properly pulls away from you.

"Uh...do you smell that?"

You smell the air. "Fuck, the cookies!" You drop his hands and run back to the oven.

They're not...horribly burnt. Just a little more brown than golden-brown.

Arven laughs jovially at the attempt when you show him.

On the sheet are yours and his initials spelled out in dough with a heart shaped cookie between them.

Or. That was the attempt.

You can still kinda tell that was the goal, but the cookies spread too much in the oven making them look a bit too blobby.

Still, they don't taste bad.

So your relationship was sealed with several kisses and slightly burnt cookies.

-

As for first times, they come later on down the road. Actually, literally down the road, as you shared sleeping spaces together while camping.

You were on Socarrat Trail, well away from any other human contact, tucked into a cave and lost in your own private world the first time you two truly touched one another. The evening had started innocently enough with simple kisses in your now shared sleeping bag. You're both shirtless and in sleep shorts, nothing crazy. You're on your sides, swapping kisses while your fingers knot themselves in Arven's hair and he scratches loving lines down your exposed back. His kisses drift a bit further down, and he mouths softly at your neck, teeth scraping against your pulse point without pressing too hard. You gasp at the sensation, making him chuckle lowly. "New spot," He notes, teasing, before moving to straddle you, which you allow easily enough. It's nice having him be physically overpowering in moments like these, taking control away from you when you're usually the one keeping you both safe out on the trails.

One of his hands pins yours by your head as he leans in to worry at that spot again. The other dances down your chest, resting lightly on your abdomen. He loves the way he can feel your breathing hitch and your muscles contract from here.

Your hips roll up to meet his, looking for any kind of friction beyond the fabric of your shorts.

"C-can you, mmm..." Your request is cut off by Arven's teeth at your earlobe, biting with just enough pressure to make you want to keen his name.

"Hmm?" He asks, not actually letting go.

"Can you...touch me? Fuck," You grind against him again, this time actually making sweet contact. "Please."

"I think that can be arranged..." Arven tells you in a sickeningly sweet tone. The hand lightly pressed against your abdomen trails lower, his fingers moving softly through the trail of hair beneath your belly button before he gets to the elastic waistband of your shorts.

"You sure?" He asks with sincerity.

"Yes, please!" You reply, rolling your hips again in hopes of meeting his hand.

Arven nods against your skin, and he dips his hands beneath your waistband. His slender fingers meet your cock, and you jolt just a bit at the contact, hissing your pleasure into the comfort of his hand wrapping around you. Fuck, that's better than the feeling of your own.

You grind against him, basically fucking into his fist, feeling the warmth of him envelope you so wonderfully. It takes very little time for you to set a rhythm. He doesn't really even have to do anything but hold you there as you hump against his hand like some horny teenager.

A tiny whimper leaves your throat, and Arven kisses you where the sound reverberated against your throat. "Fuck you're good like this. I-I got some lotion though. Want me to grab it?"

You nod, and Arven briefly moves away from you to uncap a little bottle. He squirts some into his hands and rubs them quickly, warming it up before bringing bothbback to you.

You nearly cry out at the sensation of having both hands on you, holding you warm and wet and tight, but hold it back, moaning into your bitten lip. Arven watches you, enthralled.

"God you look good like this." With a proper lubricant, he finally allows his hands to stroke properly up and down your shaft. You arch your back at the sensation just a bit, your legs spreading to find purchase against the vinyl of the sleeping bags. "Shit that's nice... Can I do the same for you?"

You feel Arven's fingers twitch around you when you ask, but he nods all the same. "Y-Yeah...when you're done. C-can I make you cum?"

You groan. "Fuck yes!" Your hips pick up the pace, not caring for the loving steady tempo Arven set as he strokes you. "Just get me there..."

Arven meets your pace, squeezing your cock with little pulses that have your hips going haywire for a moment. His other hand dips just a bit lower, warmly cupping and then gently squeezing your balls in a way that makes your breath hitch. His touch is firm and warm, and in very little time, you grunt out a quick warning of "C-cumming!" Before you splatter your abdomen and chest. Arven keeps stroking you through it, watching with rapt attention as more spurts dribble from your tip before you start to recoil into softness, growing over sensitive.

You hear him audibly swallow as you catch your breath, reaching for a rag or something to wipe yourself up quickly. He tosses one to you and looks away as you make quick work of cleaning yourself.

"That was..." You both say at the same time, then chuckle awkwardly.

"C-Can I...?" You ask, as you sit up a little woozily as the blood slowly returns to the remainder of your body.

"Uh...y-yeah! Please." Arven replies softly, meeting your gaze only briefly as you swap places. You quickly lube up your hands before you lean over him, biting his neck softly as your hand travels down to his already painfully hard erection.

He jumps at your touch, the slightest groan of excitement slipping through his lips.

"Fuck, that's hot. You're so hard..." You tell him with a touch of wonder in your voice as you firmly grip him at the base of his cock.

"Not fair!" He whimpers. "I-I had to watch you first... 'course I'm hard after that..."

You laugh a little and kiss him. "Well I'm taking care of you now."

And something about that really must do something for Arven because he practically crumples in your hands at that moment. "G-God, please!" He whines, fucking into your fist without you even moving, and if that isn't a fucking sight. If you weren't spent from a moment ago, you know you'd be getting hard again at the blissed out and needy look on Arven's face.

You continue pumping his cock, placing loving kisses along his throat and collarbone as you do.

Arven writhes beneath you, huffing out little moans of pleasure at your touch.

"P-please... So good!" He whines, matching the pace of your hand. You muffle him with a kiss on the mouth, peppering his face in kisses soon after.

"I've got you," You tell him. "You just tell me what you need, 'kay?"

Arven practically sobs. "J-just keep going, please!"

"Sure thing," You reply, refocusing your attention on pumping his cock. You lift your thumb, just a bit, to smear the precum that's beaded from his tip. Fuck, you want to taste him... Another time.

"You look so good like this, ya know?" You whisper into the shell of his ear. Arven whimpers, his hips stuttering, losing their rhythm. "I love seeing you like this, all needy and vulnerable for me? It's really hot."

"P-please..." He whines.

"Please what?" You ask. "Are you looking for permission to cum? Oh, Arven..." You murmur, feeling how every muscle in his body seemed to tense at that moment. "You cum whenever you like. I've got you. I'm here..."

And that's what does it. Arven shoots his load hard and far, more of it landing on his chest than you were expecting. Fuck, it looks good...

You keep pumping him through it, milking him for all he's worth while he babbles sweet nothings between moans of your name until he goes fully soft in your hand.

You let yourself collapse next to him as he pants.

"Good?" You ask.

"Fuck..." He breathes heavy and hot.

You laugh and pass him a rag to clean up with.

"You looked so good like that. Shit... I dunno, man. We might need to go again." You snuggle up next to him as he tosses the cloth away.

"Give me a minute..." He says with a laugh. "We got all the time in the world."

I know it's normal for progression of skill to take time, but whenever I write something and it's not 'good enough' it makes want to metaphorically tear it to shreds. How did you improve your writing?

okay so first of all thank you so much for this ask; i’ve never had anyone ask me something like this before 🥺

i know this might not be helpful, and i’m not claiming to be an expert, but the things that helped me to improve were:

1. writing all the time: when i look at the first fanfic i ever wrote i actually cringe. i’m not saying that i’m any good now, but since then i’ve improved so much!

2. editing constantly: my first drafts are always complete and utter shameful trash 💀

3. reading! i spend way too much of my time reading, particularly devouring other people’s fanfics. i’ve learned so much from the amazing authors in this fandom!

hope that answers your question! & thanku again for asking!

[huckleberrykai]

berry hear me out..................Soft Boi Kai who just can't resist touching you 🥺 like It could be any type of touches! head pats, tummy rubs or just having his arms around you while you guys are sitting together <3

yes :(( he's such a touchy guy i can just see him being an even more touchy bf <3

he'd always always have his hands on you. even in front of others he'd at the very least be holding your hand or has an arm around your shoulders. it's not even that he wants to be clingy he just finds so much comfort in your presence that he wants to be close to his pretty s/o and hold them how they deserve !! cuddle king kai 25/8 !!

alone it's just that 1000x.

he loves back hugs so much ! brushing your teeth? back hug. his pretty s/o is cooking? hm time for a back hug. just standing there doing nothing? don't mind if i do. kai will just take any opportunity to just drape himself over you - even worse if you're laying or sprawled out on the couch. dating kai? say hello to your new personal weighted blanket!

ultimate cuddle bug whenever you're sitting or laying together ~ holding you close and more often than not rubbing your belly softly or patting your head, running his fingers through your hair or squishing your cheeks :( just so affectionate and soft !!

i had this thought the other day that deffo fits into this but if you are a boob-haver,,, his hands are on them. like 100%. especially when you're in bed cuddling to sleep, his hands would just find your boobs and hold them. not even in a sexual way i just think he'd be like 'mm warm soft yes pls.' if you're on the couch and he's just holding ur tits for comfort and someone else walks in he moves his hands SO FAST so it doesn't look weird 😭

also he always asks before he touches you in any way. always. and if you say no he respects it immediately. as much as he always wants you in his arms he'd rather hang out with you from a couple feet away than to make u uncomfy :( sweet boy

you said it, i already said it, but i will say it again TUMMY RUBS !!!!!! these often come with the back hugs and most forms of cuddles. even in front of friends he'll rub your tummy he just likes that you're soft and warm and all his :')

i have so many thoughts about touchy kai i am sorry i could literally write forever rn but i will stop ugh i want him thanku for putting this in my brain raven <3
