Scarecrow, Two Face, Penguin, Mad Hatter, and Mr. Freeze with a Partner who Sleeps With A Plush of Them

Inspired by the Scarecrow and Two Face plushies I sewed.

Scarecrow

You had spent days hand-sewing this plush doll of Jonathan Crane, and though it wasn't perfect, you had put a lot of love into it.

The doll appeared to stare up at you with its button eyes while you held its floppy, huggable body and stroked its soft hair. It was like an exact copy of Jonathan, just smaller. And probably less likely to commit crimes.

Jonathan would be incredibly surprised to see the plush- lots of times when people made artistic interpretations of him they were meant to be terrifying. He had never seen a version of himself this...cuddly. He doesn't mind it, though. In fact, he's quite flattered.

When you tell him about how you cuddle the plush at night he practically melts.

Two Face

You made most of the plush Two Face with soft minky fabric, but decided to add something extra- faux fur on the white side of his hair and dot textured minky for his scars. He was perfect.

The first time you showed it to Harvey, he was speechless. His fingers ran across the soft fabrics you had used to capture him so lovingly, and you might have even seen a tear roll down the unscarred side of his face. Two Face is the one to break the silence, saying "you really want to cuddle me that much?"

When you admit to them you cuddle the plush at night to feel close to them, they immediately wrap you in a massive hug. You hug them back of course, making sure to kiss their scars.

Penguin

Oswald had always been insecure about his appearance, and no matter how much you tried to encourage and support him with words, hugs, everything...it always seemed as if his trauma would make him feel unworthy of you. So you got an idea. You would show him exactly how you saw him, in the form of a cuddly plushie.

You had to modify your pattern quite a bit to make it accurate, but it was worth it. The plush Penguin sat before you with its arms outstretched, just waiting to be held.

You paid extra attention to translating the parts of himself Oswald was insecure about into the plush- intricately sewn hands, a prominent beak-like nose, his cuddly, plump body, and of course his long, soft hair.

You're a bit nervous to show the plush to him as you're not sure how he'll react, so you start kind of awkwardly.

"Uh...I...I really wanted to show you how wonderful you are in my eyes and I...I adore every single part of you, so I made this..."

Oswald doesn't know what to think at first, but he's incredibly touched. He still tries to play it cool, of course.

"I mean, you could always have a life-sized version of me if you want."

Catch him off guard by kissing his nose and wrapping him in a hug.

Mad Hatter

Okay, uh.. You didn't sew this one. You just kinda found a Disney Mad Hatter plushie on Ebay or something and thought it reminded you of Jervis.

(Fun fact, I actually do have this plush and he's very soft!)

Even if you didn't sew it, Jervis freaking loves it. You want to cuddle? With him??? So badly that you got a plushie to hold when he wasn't there to comfort you????

Mr. Freeze

This man is very insecure about how he's unable to cuddle you due to his physical state, so you get an idea.

The plush was honestly kind of hard to make, with all the intricate details of his suit, but it was absolutely worth it. You even added a voice box inside so you could hear his sweet German accent whenever you wanted.

Also you added a small tuft of fluffy fabric for his hair, (ik BTAS doesn't have that but HQTAS does and I freaking love it so it's going here!)

He absolutely cries when you show it to him.

You wrap your arms around him when he does, it stings a bit but it's worth it to see him smile.

For Christmas that year you make him a Nora plushie, with magnets in her hands so she can hold hands with your Mr. Freeze plush.

You better believe he cuddles his Nora plush every day. It's not even close to having his wife back of course, but it does relieve some of the pain to get to hold her again.

[penkura]

I don't know how to word it properly but I want to request, Penguin and y/n (who are currently not dating) go on a Wano festival date.

Dressed in yukatas, playing games, winning prizes for each other, hand feeding food/takoyaki to eachother to try, watching fireworks near a cherry tree, a petal falls on one of their heads and they brush it out flustering the other a bit ☺️💕 That classic anime/manga trope.

Omg yes, the classic anime trope with Penguin, my heart. 💚💚 This is so cute thank you for this! I can see Penguin in this situation so well!

When Penguin asked you to be his date for one of the post-battle Wano festivals, you were quick to accept with such a bright smile that he couldn’t help but return it. He didn’t think you’d actually agree at first, but when you did, he was ecstatic! He was worried you didn’t feel the same way or would just say no thanks, but even Law could see how much the two of you liked each other. It was a wonder you hadn’t gotten together yet.

He figures the two of you will just see what happens the day of your date, there’s no definite plan apart from the end of the night. There’s going to be fireworks again and Penguin fully intends on bringing you to the hill with a cherry blossom tree to watch them. He does realize there might be other couples there, but it doesn’t matter. He likes you so much, he wants to make this first date special!

Penguin is so nervous though when he leads you through the festival stalls, holding your hand to keep from losing you in the crowd. He was nervous before you two even took off on your own, but when he sees you in your yukata he felt the blush creep up his face as you smile at him and tell him he looks nice in his blue yukata. He stammers out a thank you and replies in kind, which makes you just as happy.

Penguin watches you stare at a stuffed animal that one of the game stalls has, it’s a cute little penguin, making him grin over it. Maybe you’re thinking about him, or maybe it’s just a cute plush to you. Either way, the way you’re looking at it tells him you want it more than other toys or prizes you’ve seen tonight. When he offers to play the game to get it, you try to tell him not to worry about it.

“I don’t want you to waste your money on it! It’s just a plush, I can—”

“No, it’s not a waste at all!” Penguin’s grin is more then enough to make you relent, as he leads you over to the stall and puts down the money for the game, receiving three balls to throw at the bottles set up in return. “Just watch, I’m great at this!”

He might have over exaggerated his skills, but Penguin gets so close the third time, the stall runner gives him a smaller stuffed penguin as a prize. He feels a little bad that he could get you the bigger plush prize, but the second he hands it to you and tries to apologize, you just give him a kiss on the cheek that makes his face redder than before as you smile.

“This is perfect, thank you, Penguin! He’s adorable!”

You both decide to get some food after that, agreeing on a takoyaki stand nearby the game, Penguin stays to wait for your order while you wander off to another stall for a moment. When you meet back up, Penguin takes your hand again and starts to lead you somewhere you can sit to eat, picking a spot near a cheery tree so you can wait for the fireworks too.

“Did you find something at the stall you went to?”

“Oh, I did!” You give him a grin while you pull a small package from your sleeve and hold it out to him, “It’s a good luck charm for you!”

“You…you didn’t need to spend money on—”

“Well you got me the plushie…it’s only fair you get something too!”

He really can’t argue with you about that, he might even need that good luck charm after tonight. He feels like all his luck is gone anyway, just because you accepted his invitation. Penguin thanks you while he takes the charm, before offering your share of the takoyaki to you. His face goes bright red when you don’t take it from his hand and just eat it right off the skewer, still in his hand, telling him it’s one of the better takoyaki you’ve had.  You laugh a bit at his embarrassed face when you offer a piece to him, which he eats in the same way.

He's so cute.

The rest of your food gets forgotten at you start talking, both glad everyone made it through the fight against Kaido and Big Mom, relieved nothing happened to Law or the other captains, or any of your friends. There so much to be done before your crew takes off, but you’re happy to have a small break, a night to relax and do whatever, especially with Penguin. Once the fireworks start, you watch them for a bit before looking back to your date, smiling as you watch him instead.

You’re beyond happy he asked you out, you had planned to do so before he got to you the day before. The fact he actually asked surprised you, after all the mutual flirting and a few close first kisses, he finally decided to ask you on a date, you went to Ikkaku squealing and non-stop smiling the rest of the day. After the last few years of having a crush on him, it’s nice to see it’s returned, you aren’t worried you’ve wasted time getting to know him better.

You surprise Penguin by brushing a few cherry blossom petals off his hat before placing a kiss on his cheek and laying your head on his shoulder. He knows his face must be redder the candy apples being sold, but he doesn’t mind, not when he puts his arm around your shoulders and kisses your forehead in return.

“This was a nice first date.”

“Yeah…?” You nod as Penguin realizes something, “Wait, ‘first’?”

“Well, yeah,” you glance up in time to see Penguin’s face is red but he’s starting to smile, “I expect we’ll have another one in a few days or something, after we leave Wano. Seems like Captain doesn’t mind it so.”

You shrug while Penguin laughs a bit, nodding.

“We’ll definitely have another date.”

My Foodfight! Collection: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Foodfight!

So here it is, here's my Foodfight! collection. Since I've been writing this blog for over a year now, I thought it was worth finally showing off all the merchandise I've collected during that time, as well as talking about the relationship I've developed with the movie over the course of my many posts. But first, the collection- from left to right, we have the Cinnamon Sleuth cereal box (yes it's fanmade but I still think it looks cool enough to be included), the Junior Novelization that started it all, a Daredevil Dan plush, a Dex Dogtective plush, a copy of the movie on DVD, the Deluxe Sound Storybook, a Polar Penguin Plush, and 18 inches of Cheazel T. Weasel.

The plush toys are especially interesting- I don't think I've really discussed this before, but they all have a tag on the back stating they're not to be sold at retail... I guess these were only intended for arcades and carnivals as prizes, which is where they ultimately ended up, but I've heard at least one person who worked on the movie claim these were being sold in stores as well. So... chalk that up to another unsolved mystery, even if it's not a particularly interesting one. If I had to guess, the Playmates action figures and more detailed plush toys I talked about a while ago were meant to sold in stores, but the deal fell through and somehow these cheaper Nanco plush toys ended up there instead, on top of arcades and carnivals as originally intended. Maybe Nanco just produced so much stock, anticipating the movie to be a big hit, then when it got delayed time and time again they had to sell them off however they could. I know these Nanco plush toys come in a BUNCH of different sizes- for instance, I have an 18 inch Cheazel, but there are smaller variants that show up on eBay every now and then. Speaking of Cheazel by the way...

About 10 years ago, a small child in Nebraska got stuck in a claw machine trying to win a Cheazel plush, with the incident even making the local news. You can read all about it in the above link- thankfully he was fine and nobody was injured, but it's just crazy to me that something Foodfight!-related was picked up by the news media and that there was a kid out there who wanted a Cheazel plush so bad he was willing to crawl into a machine for it. It's also a testament to how, after the movie came out, these plush toys were EVERYWHERE- there are so many stories of people finding them at local carnivals, and it's why a lot of them are still showing up on eBay to this day. I wonder if the Cheazel plush I have now is the same one this child tried to win many years ago...? Probably not, but it's certainly a possibility.

One more thing about the toys while I'm still on the topic- I know I've mentioned it before, but a bunch of concept art and prototype images for the Playmates plush toys and figures were found among the recently shared files from the Foodfight! tie-in game, and I just thought I'd share them here for anyone who hasn't seen them yet. While I love the idea of Dex Dogtective's Price Gun and the Daredevil Dan Crash N' Spin Plane, I've gotta say.... the plush toys we actually ended up with are WAY cuter. I know they're just prototypes, but look at how bulbous Cheazel's eyeballs are, it's just offputting. Granted, the character is equally if not more offputting in the actual movie, but when you compare it to the Nanco plush...

I mean just look at him, he's adorable!! How could you not like him, how could anybody like him? The tongue sticking out, the dopey expression on his face...he's just a rascal, a scamp, a mischief maker. I think in general the Nanco plush toys are by far the most visually appealing versions of the characters, partly because they're soft and huggable, but also because they all look really friendly and gentle in a way the designs never really did onscreen, even in the early footage.

Anyway, as for the rest of my collection, there's not a whole lot TO say about it that I haven't already said- I've already discussed the novelization and Deluxe Sound Storybook at length, I made the Cinnamon Sleuth box myself, and the only notable thing about the DVD is that one of the Chapter Select options takes you straight to the end credits. And so I instead wanted to take this time to talk about how Foodfight! has affected me over the past year.

When I first found the novelization on eBay, I just KNEW I had to write about it. Nobody else was talking about it, it was the only copy available for purchase anywhere, there was no other mention of it on the entire internet, and it seemed like no-one else even knew it existed. I was inspired by Ryan North's B To The F blog, in which he reviews the similarly obscure Back To The Future novelization, feeling this could be my very own "B To The F" moment. That kind of moment only comes along once in a lifetime, and so even though I was in the middle of an incredibly stressful move at the time, I bit the bullet and started my blog anyway. Ever since then... it's like Foodfight! exploded, all over the internet. A large part of that was of course thanks to Ziggy Cashmere's incredible work on ROTTEN: Behind The Foodfight, but it still made me feel like writing about the novelization opened a Pandora's Box of Foodfight! material across the world, or like I was living through an ARG designed just for me. I made a fangame, interviewed a cast member, I even got a speaking line in the aforementioned ROTTEN, and the more I wrote the more Foodfight! news seemed to come out. Every time I thought we'd found everything there was left to find, something new would come up and I'd be pulled right back into it. And through all that...god help me, I actually started to like Foodfight!.

To be clear, I still think it's a bad movie. As a matter of fact, it's one of the worst movies ever made. BUT...it's the greatest movie STORY ever told. Everything that went on behind the scenes, all the scrapped tie-in products, videogames, crazy anecdotes about the director, it all coalesces into something much greater than itself. In the same way, it felt like writing about Foodfight! allowed me to be a part of something greater than myself too. I got involved with a community of like-minded fans, was lucky enough to able to share previously lost media with the entire world, connected to the internet in a way I hadn't in years, and did something nobody else had done before and will likely never do again. Maybe THAT'S the real Foodfight!...no, I really mean it. When you dedicate enough time and passion towards something forgotten and obscure, it takes you on this special kind of journey that's hard to describe, but you come out the other end with this genuine appreciation for it you couldn't have found anywhere else. Like if you didn't care so much then maybe you would never have got it, but you did and so you you really DO understand. Like at the end of Be Kind Rewind, when Jerry and Mike can't save the video store but it doesn't matter because through making their movies they brought the community together and shared a story in the way only they could. Maybe that's what this was for me, sharing a story in a way only I could. To date, not a single other copy of the novelization has surfaced anywhere... it really does feel like it was my destiny to write about it. Even if I stop updating this blog someday, I'll never forget about everything I went through writing about Foodfight! The Junior Novelization...but for now, here's to another year.

there's a present box , this time far better wrapped than his very first one . sparkly purple wrapping with a silver bow tied to perfection . it's somewhat noticeable that he's excited , a small smile resting on his visage . the present's contents ? an equally sparkly penguin plush adorned with a mini akali's popstars hat . now they can match . - yasuo <3

initially a fear ( albiet brief and incredibly small — evelynn does not harbor many fears towards humans ) washes over her as golden hues stare the neatly wrapped gift down. this one, alike the one before, beggining to be opened, yet with seemingly different reasons.

she’s be a liar if she said the smile he’s wearing wasnt endearing either.

instead of the torment of one delicately long claw tearing through such beautiful wrapping, she takes the present within her own hands. evelynn is careful to not make quick work of what seemed to be a delicate process ( perhaps, if anything else, a note to how she values his time ). so she does not stop the delighted gasp that escapes her lips ‘pon sight of the stuffed animal. nor the ever growing smile as she takes it all in, followed only by an adoring eyeroll at the signature snapback hat.

“ this is lovely, “ careful ears would catch the affection - the gratefulness - that resides in her tone. though she says no more, she reaches one arm out, inviting him to a rare hug.

McDonald's Happy Meal Toys 2024 - Current, Disney and more

McDonald's Happy Meal Toys 2024

McDonald's Happy Meal toys have been a beloved part of childhood for generations. These small toys, tucked inside the iconic red box, have brought joy and excitement to millions of kids around the world. From classic characters to cutting-edge collaborations, McDonald's has consistently delivered a diverse range of toys that capture the imagination and spark creativity. As we embark on 2024, McDonald's continues to surprise and delight with its latest offerings, while also paying homage to its rich history and cherished collectibles. In our super article, we'll explore the current 2024 Happy Meal toys, delve into the world of special edition and Disney favorites, and take a nostalgic journey through the evolution of these beloved trinkets.

A Brief History of McDonald's Happy Meal Toys

The journey of Happy Meal toys began in 1979 when McDonald's introduced the first Happy Meal in the United States. The initial toys were circus-themed, featuring items like stencils, wallets, and erasers. It wasn't until later that year that McDonald's partnered with the movie "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" for its first major film tie-in. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Happy Meal toys became increasingly diverse, featuring characters from popular movies, TV shows, and toy lines. Transformers, Hello Kitty, Legos, and Teletubbies all made appearances in Happy Meal boxes during this era. One of the most significant moments in Happy Meal toy history was the introduction of Ty's Teenie Beanie Babies in 1997. The popularity of these miniature plush toys was unprecedented, with McDonald's selling over 100 million units that year alone. As the new millennium dawned, McDonald's continued to innovate, introducing electronic handheld games and LCD toys in collaboration with companies like SEGA. The fast-food giant also embraced sustainability efforts, introducing eco-friendly toys made from plant-based materials and encouraging toy recycling programs.

2024 McDonald's Happy Meal Toys

McDonald's has kicked off 2024 with a bang, introducing a lineup of Happy Meal toys that are sure to captivate kids and collectors alike. The year began with the highly anticipated Squishmallows collection, featuring a dozen adorable plush characters from the popular toy line. These cuddly companions, each with their own unique personality, quickly became a hit among fans of all ages. Following the Squishmallows craze, McDonald's partnered with the online game Adopt Me! to bring a set of six pet-themed toys to Happy Meals. Kids could collect a penguin, chipmunk, lion, unicorn, dragon, and dog, each with its own character card and stickers for customization. In March, the fast-food giant teamed up with Warner Bros. to promote the crossover fighting game MultiVersus. The Happy Meal toys featured beloved characters from various Warner Bros. franchises, such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Bugs Bunny, in collectible tins with double-sided puzzles. April saw the release of the Just Dance Happy Meal toys, encouraging kids to get up and move with their favorite dance characters like Panda, Ron, Llama, and Boogiesaurus. Each toy came with a rotating stand, stickers, and dance cards, allowing kids to spin and groove along to the beat. As the year progresses, McDonald's promises even more exciting collaborations and themed toys, ensuring that every visit to the Golden Arches is an adventure waiting to unfold.

Squishmallows Toys (2023)

One of the most highly anticipated Happy Meal toy collections was the Squishmallows promotion, which debuted in the US on December 26, 2023. The collection featured 12 miniature Squishmallow plush toys, including popular characters like Cam the Cat and Fifi the Fox, as well as a special Grimace Squishmallow and a mystery character. Each toy came with a unique music playlist that could be accessed by scanning a QR code on the Happy Meal box, marking the first time a digital playlist was included with a Happy Meal toy.

Just Dance Toys (2023)

In March-May 2023, McDonald's partnered with the Just Dance video game franchise to release a set of 12 paper-based toys inspired by the game's characters. The toys featured characters like Panda, Marisol, Lucero, Llama, Ron, Fearless Pirate, Boogiesaurus, Kulikita Cat, Maloo, Dougie, Reece, and The Traveler. Each toy could be constructed into a figurine that could perform dance moves, and they came with stickers for customization. The toys also included QR codes to access songs and other digital Just Dance content.

MultiVersus Toys (2024)

In March 2024, McDonald's launched a Happy Meal promotion for the crossover fighting game MultiVersus, ahead of the game's full release on May 28th, 2024. The promotion featured six collectible tins, each with a different character from the game on the front and back covers, such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Bugs Bunny, and Harley Quinn. Inside the tins were small cardboard puzzles featuring artwork from the game.

Adopt Me! Toys (2024)

The Adopt Me! Happy Meal toys from McDonald's were released in January 2024 as a tie-in with the popular Roblox game of the same name. About the toys: McDonald's released a collection of 50 different toys featuring beloved Disney characters to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort. The toys highlighted 50 iconic characters like Mickey, Minnie, Genie, Stitch, and more, with lenticular images of the four Walt Disney World parks on the bases. Some of the characters included were Celebration Mickey, Celebration Minnie, Flounder, Sebastian, Thumper, Bambi, R2-D2, BB-8, Woody, Bo Peep, and many others from Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel films. The toys were released in late 2021 and were so popular that McDonald's brought back a second wave with golden accents on select toys in 2022.

Disney 100th Anniversary Happy Meal Toys

McDonald's offered miniature versions of Ty's popular Beanie Babies plush toys in Happy Meals multiple times.

OK HELL YEA LET'S GO

Toya is also good at Tetris (not as good as he is at Puyo Puyo, aka, he's not on any leaderboards) THEREFORE he's like a GOD at Puyo Puyo Tetris. He's like, scary good, like those moms who play for fun.

Akito DEFINITELY played Club Penguin when he was younger and got banned a lot for swearing. He just made a new penguin each time. Before the servers shut down he tried to do the swearing speed run, but he unfortunately wasn't fast enough to get into the top 50.

Mizuki likes Undertale. It's a vibe, I haven't even played the game but IT'S A VIBE THEY GIVE OFF.

Honami plays cooking mama sometimes when she's stressed. Sometimes Ichika watches her and they both cheer when she gets a full score (and Mama's approval).

Shizuku and Airi have those couples' tamagatchis. Surprisingly, despite her troubles with technology, Shizuku's is still alive and thriving.

An does K pop dances while practicing. She knows the whole choreo for Fancy by heart.

Saki and Tsukasa always give each other a good night hug.

Toya cuddles with his Pochacco plushie at night (this one is real to ME I don't care imagine how cute that would be IMAGINE IT)

Kohane and Minori have a secret handshake. It's not a secret.

Shiho pats Minori and Kohane on the head sometimes.

Haruka and An, when they were younger, once competed while playing the claw machine. An won, with the prize she caught being a small penguin plush. She gave it to Haruka. Turns out she was trying to get it for her friend the entire time.

Minori watches Doremon with her little brother and quotes it sometimes by accident on stream. Her fans find it adorable.

Emu draws little doodles on every piece of paper she comes across; every form, every test, every single tiny note. If she doesn't have time to draw much she just draws a goofy smiley face. Rui has adopted this habit slightly, sometimes slipping his own doodles into notes for her or for all of WxS. Nene draws stars next to the doodles. Tsukasa has most of them he has received saved in a notebook. Miku and the others have them hanging on a board (miku wanted to put it on a fridge, Kaito reminded her that there IS no fridge.)

I HAVE MORE BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER RN I WILL PROLLY ADD LATER.

my favorite headcanons are the stupid ones. idc about you projecting tell me that mafuyu sucks ass at solitaire but still plays it religiously.

tell me that ena and akito go on late night snack runs to convenience stores because ena would rather starve than eat a chicken cutlet at 2 in the morning and akito wants a specific brand of chips that isn’t in the house.

tell me that airi landed herself on a commentary channel, decided it was funny, and has since bribed someone (prob mizuki) to comment hate on her posts so she can “clap back.” though she was not as thrilled when bullying allegations came out against her (the people thought she was being too mean to minori and they had to manufacture a whole “minori and airi being besties!!” video).

tell me that toya found out that An likes LEGO flower sets and has since bought her every single one that has been released.

tell me that shiho once got absolutely rocked by a door after standing too close to it because tsukasa slammed it open to announced his presence.

tell me!!!

I'm new but what's the story behind Chidiac and penguins? She likes them?

It's been a lifelong thing. The reason is actually very sweet.

"It all started when she was born on January 15, 1999 in Sydney.

Chidiac was gifted an Emperor Penguin plush toy at birth, that affectionately goes by the name 'Mama Penguin', and she has been by the attacking midfielder's side ever since.

The toy is her second shadow and has travelled more miles than most, following Chidiac to Melbourne for the national camp this week ahead of Australia's game against Sweden.

It followed her to Kentucky for her NWSL debut for Racing Louiseville, to Spain for her two-year stint at Atletico Madrid, to Japan for her time at JEF United Chiba, and to South Australia when she played for Adelaide United.

And there is a sweet reason behind why she follows the Melbourne Victory player on her travels.

"It's meant to be like my mum when my mum's not there because I travel so much," Chidiac explained.

And then my mum has like a small one, and she gets that so that's meant to be me. So we're just adorable."

Just something soft and gentle for Christmas. Maybe it’s the evening, presents have been opened and dinner was had. The kiddos are all asleep, warm in their beds cuddling their newest toys. The sun has set over Sundari Palace, and Starlight sits by the fire with a glass of wine, joined by Maul and his own glass of the same wine. They settle on the couch, watching the fire that glows across from them. Maul tells his Starlight how much he loves them, and they bask in the fire’s warmth, comfortable and utterly in love.

Oh I just adore this after the one I just wrote!!! THANK YOU FOR SENDING IT IN 🥺🥺🥺🥺 you always give such lovely ideas!!! I adore you for it!!!

(For reference in the Mauldalor AU Danica is only 3 years younger than her siblings)

Oh this Christmas was one to remember fondly, the twins now six were overjoyed throughout the day. Aster received new ballet shoes, a cherry red pair, and a tooka plush in a artists smock with a hidden tube of her favorite violet watercolor and a dagger made special for her. Cress had been gifted a new field journal Starlight had bound herself and a handmade knife from Maul, additional a soft frog plush with a strawberry pink winter coat.

And Dani oh sweet three year old Dani was just overjoyed with the penguin plush that was as big as she! She sat with her back against her plush, looking over the soft cover books starlight had made her. At her small feet was her little bat, made for training in combat. Maul made sure not a splinter would fall into her palms.

Each child tucked away in bed with smiles and dreams of Christmas in their heads. Little Danica asleep not letting go of either her penguin plush or books.

——

Starlight watches out at the twinkling sky over Sundari, her palace…

She wouldn’t care if it was a palace just the knowledge that just beyond her bedroom door lay her sleeping children was enough to make love this place.

“Are they all still asleep?” She asks gently as Maul pours more wine into her glass.

“Asleep to the galaxy the three of them…” he goes quiet for the moment, “ Am I sure that I’m not the one dreaming this all? This life…you…them…”

Starlight gives him a sad smile and takes the bottle from him to set on the floor.

“Sit with me…”

He does as he’s asked. His own glass in hand, “ I don’t trust it at times. Thinking I’ll wake and I’ll be there again…down below…”

A hand to his face, tracing the tattoos, “ It’s the past. For 8 years now you have been Maul the Mandalore…ruler of this system…you have raised armies.

More importantly…you are a wonderful husband and an even greater father who celebrated yet another perfect Christmas for his twin children and made a little 3 year old girl smile so much for years to come.”

—-

Starlight and Maul hold another close, as they have done for many Christmas’s now. The fire in their room going low and the gentle dusting of snow starting outside the windows.

Picturesque and calm.

The two kiss softly as the minutes pass by, another time honored tradition it won’t be long until..

“Buir? Daddy?” In toddles in little Dani with her large plush dragged with her. Her curls messy and little frame barely holding her up. “Can I stay?”

“Of course.”

——

On this Christmas night Maul is once more surrounded by love. His youngest curled up in his arms and his love asleep beside him. As they will for years to come….

Heeeey!!!! I have another request! It's ver fun idea. Hehe. Can I request headcanons of Law & Zoro (seperate) x S/O? Okay the man are sometimes busy like Zoro is training, Law is busy work ye know. So S/O has a idea! They make a cute plush that looks like them. S/O call their plush Little Zoro and Little Law😂. Example if Law is still working. And S/O is sleeping alone again... Then she put Law jun plush next side where Law sleeps. If Law finally sleep next to her then see little Law in his place. And then S/O say "Sorry Law but little Law has taken place. If Law throws the plush from the bed then S/O say "No little Law! No!" In a funny dramatic way. And they pout but happy that he sleeps or just laying. Or by Zoro same sort of situation but then by that little Zoro has taken the chair by breakfast. It's a example. And how will they react to the plush little Law and little Zoro? Or you can also call Law junior or Zoro 2.0. You can decide. And that's it. Oh and have a nice and safe day.

Law & Zoro’s S/O Replacing Them With A Plush - HCs

A/N : this is actually really adorable— SEE, creativeeeee! 🤍 thank you for requesting! :)

Summary : in which, after being constantly busy and away from their attention-seeking significant other, they find their s/o all cuddled up with a look-alike plush of them. Did that make sense? I’m not good with summaries—

Law

Law was often busy, duties as captain and ship doctor, along with being overworked with paperwork.

And so, obviously, there will be days where you really want attention, missing your lovable surgeon of death.

During these times, you would usually cuddle and play with Bepo, or having joking conversations with Penguin and Shachi.

Until you had an idea. Bepo as a bit of inspiration, of course.

It luckily didn’t take long since you had a lot of free time, but when you finally finished your little creative project, let’s just say you weren’t feeling so lonely anymore.

It was a little plush doll of Law.

When you finished, you would show it off to the crew first, them all complimenting on it and gushing at how adorable it was, and nothing like their captain.

It looks exactly like him, the others would constantly ask to look at it again as you bring it around everywhere.

When Law finally hears the commotion, he’d come over to see what was going on.

He wasn’t expecting the sight of his crew area all gushing at a small toy version of him, much less find out that you are the creator of it and was holding it to your chest.

“Oh, Law, look! It’s a Little Law! Law junior!”

He wouldn’t even know what to say, just sweatdropping at how excited and joyful you seemed.

He’d only pat your head and compliment you on how detailed and accurate it was, secretly hoping you wouldn’t do something like that again.

He didn’t hate it though. He thought seeing how happy it made you was kinda cute.

But he soon learned how troublesome the doll was.

At First, it didn’t bother him that you brought it everywhere with you. It made him happy to know that you were comforted with a mini him around you and keep you company, ( although he’d be pretty concerned if you started to act like it was a real person ).

But as days passed by and Law grew more busy, he would notice how much less you focused on him, and more on the doll. You wouldn’t check on him as much, nor come in with little snacks so he was eating.

The last straw, was when he found you asleep, in bed beside you in the spot he usually sleeps in. You held the plush doll close to your chest, cuddling up to it as you slept soundly.

His brow would twitch at the sight and he’d clear his throat and wake you up.

“Oi, [Name]-ya. Why are you cuddling with a toy?”

Lowkey jealous that mini toy him has been getting more love than real him.

“Oh, Law, are you already finished with all your paperwork?” You sit up, still holding the plush close to you whilst rubbing your eyes.

It was a rather adorable sight but Law has important things to talk about.

“Get rid of the fake me.” He’d be blunt about it, and you would immediately pick up on what he means.

“Come here.” You reach for his hand and pull him into the bed, forcing him down and laid on top of his chest, the plush close to both of you as you tiredly smiled at him.

“Sleep. Good night, Law.”

He wouldn’t even know what to say, and since he can’t move without waking you up again, he’d just lay there and stare at you before accepting it and going to sleep.

The next morning, he’ll have a serious discussion with you about the toy.

Despite your protests, he’ll force you to put away the toy and he’ll toss it aside, even if you insist that it’s like both of yours’ own child.

He’d stare at you in disbelief before rolling his eyes slightly and place a hand on the back of your head, pulling you to his chest.

“If you wanted to have a child, you just have to ask, [Name]-ya. I could easily help you with that.”

Zoro

Zoro’s daily schedule consists of three things.

Sleeping, and at least three naps a day.

Fighting / Eating, if there’s no enemies and when it’s time for lunch.

Training. Lots and lots of training. This man lives off of training for hours.

Because you didn’t want to bother him during these times too much, you would spend time in the kitchen with Sanji, or talk with the girls and read the catalog magazines.

But it does become a bit much, and after days of no attention from the swordsman, you grew even more lonely. So you decided to take it upon yourself to solve your loneliness.

You had a bit of help from Nami with it, but you did do most of the work and came up with the idea. Nonetheless, you loved the work.

“How does it look?” You smile eagerly at it, holding it up. Nami just giggles at the sight of it. “Looks just like him!”

And so you would bring it out to show the others, Luffy, Usopp and most of all Sanji laughing hysterically at it, making fun of how stupid Zoro looks, but most definitely complimenting your skills and assuring you it was adorable. You weren’t sure how to feel about them.

Brook and Chopper would think it was super cute and play with it with you, whilst Franky and Robin just smile at it, also complimenting your skills on it.

After Zoro’s done training for the hour, he’ll come down and see the crew gathered around you. Wondering what was going on, he’d come over and see the little toy and furrow his brows.

“Look, Zoro. It’s a mini you. Except this one’s much more cuter than the original.” Usopp teased, the others snickering along with him as Zoro’s eyes narrowed and brow twitching in irritation at their comments.

“I think it’s cute. Don’t you, Zoro?”

Hearing your soft tone would make his heart melt internally, and with warm cheeks, he’d just turn away. “Sure, whatever..”

Secretly wants his own version of you, so he can keep it around with himself.

The next several days, he’s not bothered at all by the plush, other than Sanji’s stupid insulting teasing comments about it, but other than that, he doesn’t really care that you have it.

However, when he decides to relax from training for a day and can’t find you anywhere, he’ll be annoyed, since he’s feeling a little needy for attention right now.

When he finally finds you, you’re hugging the the toy while talking with Nami and Robin about random topics, in the lounge.

“Hey, [Name]! Why do you still have that?”

You’d move the plush onto your lap and smile at Zoro when he comes in. “Because it’s so cute! Zoro 2.0. It’s kinda like our kid, right?” You joke, giggling as you glance down at it.

Zoro just clicks his tongue and grabs the plush from your hands and glare at it before tossing it behind him. “Oi, Zoro! What’re you doing?!”

“Why are you hugging a fake me, when you have the real thing right here?!”

You’d huff at him with puffed cheeks as you pout at him.

Then he’d grab your hand and drag you out and into your room, where he’ll force you into bed and then cage you below him.

He’ll narrow his eyes at you as he leans down by your ear.

“Next time, just tell me if you want to have kids. There’s a proper way to do it, y’know.”

-

These turned into some long headcannons, basically scenarios— hope you liked it! :)

HARRY'S 27th !!!

Author's Note: Tooth rotting fluffy blurb 'cause it's my baby's birthday. I love him so much uwu.

He was swarmed with reverent loving kisses doting from his relaxed temple down where the centre of his sentiments and the luminosity of love resides in for you – his heart. His taffy mouth blew raspberries against her cheeks in effort to wake up as she gives him generous cuddles wrapped around him like one of his fuzziest warmest blankets. They day hasn't even started and he's already feeling so loved by his lovie.

"Happy birthday, honey!" She whispers squeal with excitement flickering in her eyes as she nuzzled her cheeks under his chin peppering lil soft kisses, "Thank you m'love you're such a pleased gift to wake up to." He giggles squishing her tight against his solid chest.

"C'mon up up! Made brekkie for you!" She exclaims sponging a tender kiss to his plush lips trying to lug him off from bed tugging him from wrists, "alright alright lil penguin." He tries to pick up his limbs with same vibrancy she's expecting from him.

She makes him sit fetching plates from the kitchen and Harry heart might burst into confetti. The love he has for her scattering all over around as he awes looking at the heart shaped pancakes with hearty eyes made from chocolate syrup. I'm her utter thrill she rips it off with a fork hovering it over his mouth, "hmm. Pet yummiest pancakes 've had in me life." He praises her when she feeds him tilting her chin and kissing her lips softly.

"Thank you. Wanted your birthday to be best -- wanted to celebrate you." If her propaganda is to make him cry she's already succeeding at it. He shifts her into his lap crooning sweet nothings and thankful kisses into the cave of her neck, "It's already the best with ye' in my arms baby." He sighs chewing feeding her some and she gulps quickly interjecting.

"I've a surprise for you!" She flutters her fingertips from the dollop of his cheeks down this throat, "You didn't have to." He shakes his head with a intact grin eyes still puffy from sleep.

"Yes I do. I love you baby!" She smothers him in loud kisses cause the affection is spilling from the brim of her heart and the roles have been reversed so beautifully since Harry's the one being this gooey for her all the time.

//

"Can I open 'em now?" He chuckles trying not to tumble as she's covering his eyes with her palms to keep from ruining the surprise. She was ecastic padding towards him with bags and boxes of gifts but when he tried to unwrap them after emotional gazes and smiley faces of "'m s' lucky to have you pet." "You didn't have to . ." She jumped on her bum almost shouting at him not to unwrap them at the moment cause another surprise is waiting for him in afternoon, kissing him sheepishly after that.

Harry gasps awestruck. Eyes total heart shaped and candy mouth babbling like a goldfish. He laces his fingers with her pulling her closer to him to kiss her head as she smiles in victory, "The weather was too pretty today -- knew it's your birthday." She giggles pressing her lips to his chest.

She has set-up a small picnic in their garden. With a cake she was baking and adorning with frosting whole previous night, fruits and wine, different breads and fruity drinks of pinks and orange.

Grass lush with white roses and pink bearths surrounding them with a wooden fence infront of them that has nothing but vast rich land full of trees behind it. There are cotton wet clouds in the marble blue sky and sun that winks at them time to time. It's perfect.

"I love it lil penguin. Love you." He breathes out happily leading her to sit down with him. Her cnoodled between his warm embrace and she hands him gifts to unwrap. He take out tissues from the bag and glances at her gleefully picking up the gloves made of sheer sage satin fabric, "'s just your hands looks s' pretty in them." She clutches at the hem of his shirt making him grin that wide it suckles dimples deep into his cheeks.

Then the matte lilac box that has flimsy hearts painted at it's borders with his name in between, "Painted those for you." She mumbles shyly and he cups her cheeks leaving everything to whisper into her mouth, "you're s' contagious not to love you." When he opens it up with same gentleness he holds for her it reveals a pink silk top with his initials embroidered on the vedge of it's pocket along with a lil flower.

"Froggy helped me choose the silk you like the most 'n . . 'n guided me sewing it." She calls Harris froggy. "Gonna wear it all day and every day." He giggles fumbling with her bottom pink lip.

"Last one then . . ." She squeaks handing him the tinsy bag and when he shoves his hand a card comes into his grasp. He reads the contents on it and sighs ever so loud full of happiness. It's an invitation to a dulcimer playing get together, where old people from certain cultures gather to play their folk tunes.

"Can take Mitch maybe Harry with ya." She says nervously and he watches with glittery eyes tracing the edges of card, "I'll take you. Would ya like to go on a date with me miss y/n?" He smirks playing with her fingers and she bobs her head.

"Let's cut this cake 'm starvin'." He rubs his hands together to show his eagerness and she laughs out aloud, "wait wait lemme put a candle." She pushes him away putting a single candle and litting it up.

"Make a wish baby!!" She claps her hand closer to her chest leaning against his shoulder with cheshire grin. He closes his eyes blowing it and she smothers him in kissing holding his face from side. He looks at her confused when she hands him a wine glass scooping up cake in it with it, "do it. It's fun!!" She giggles and he shakes his head doing the same clanking the rims together.

"Here goes to me 27th full of love and smiles." His accent deeply british with cheeks rosy from the light zephyr.

They fed eachother, her head in his lap listening to the vinyl recorder playing a french melody. He cackles loudly when a squirrel steals the crumb of her blue berries and kisses her pout gazing the little creature accompanying him in his cute lil birthday party. They are slightly tipsy, maybe Harry thinks but the fuzziness and clinginess that's tickling his tummy proves it right.

He just couldn't resist kissing her and lovin' her. Praising her. Thanking her. Staring the candy shaped clouds. He couldn't want anything else. Just him and her. In their little bubble of adoration.

July 9th, 2022

On this day I went to the aquarium! Let me say this really quick, if you don't like sea creatures even one bit - like ALL sea creatures - then you wouldn't find SEA LIFE London worth it.

SEA LIFE London has a bunch of small sea creatures like ants (ah!), piranhas (yes!), seahorses (cute), and some big creatures like a ton of sharks! They had a virtual reality part (only like 8 pounds) where you went diving with sharks and they told you shark facts! Like when a shark flutters their eyelids (at least for tiger sharks, I know small sharks just roll their eyes), they are getting hostile. Hammerhead sharks see the world in 360 and how at certain times sharks can be docile versus hostile (they start getting hostile around sunset which is about feeding time as a bunch of fish and sharks started getting in the area, so the divers had to leave). Worth the 8 pounds.

Continued through and saw penguins who were very friendly, walked right up to the glass and interacted with people. I found out that the types of penguins they have is the Gentoo penguins. During mating season, Gentoo males will present their favorite pebble to a Gentoo female and if she accepts, they will build a nest. That is adorable!

Continued on my way and saw a bunch of different jellyfish! They were so cool and pretty and colourful (from lights in the aquarium but still)! They were amazing!

I got myself a tiger shark plush and I love him.

2 and 8 with the reader humming a song and when Peter realizes what she's doing he asks if he can hear her sing and she does that in public and everyone thinks she's really good? 🥺

Half a note P.P

a/n: I changed it a bit, I hope you like it!

"Look how cute this is!" You exclaimed and pulled Peter by his hand in yet another shop. It was a Saturday, and since you had a lot of free time, Peter decided to take to the mall for a mini date. Right now you were admiring a dolphin plush doll while Peter was admiring how your eyes lit up at all the soft toys in front of you. "Aww." You cooed as you lifted up a small dinosaur one making Peter chuckle at your antics.

"Your cuteness is making everyone stare, stop it." Peter smiled at you.

"I can't help it they're so adorable!"

"Which one do you want, the dino one or the penguin one?" He grinned, making your eyes light up.

"Wait really?" He nodded, "Can we get both?" You pouted.

"Of course we can! Anything for you!"

"Thank you!" You squealed and wrapped him in a tight hug. After paying, you and your boyfriend walked around the mall, hands intertwined and swinging as you clutched the toys in the other; when suddenly your eyes landed on an old piano that was lying in the corner, as did Peter's. Now he new you could sing but it was very rare that you were public about your talent, but Peter wanted to be the reason that changed. "Why, don't you give it a go?" He encouraged.

"No." You blushed.

"But I want to hear you sing," he pleaded, "please?" How could you say no to those doe eyes? So you walked over and sat on the little stool, noticing that it was quite old but in a good condition, thinking of a song you turned to Peter when you thought of one. The minute you started to play the notes he sensed the familiarity of the tune, a wide smile plastering over his face. It was 'I will always love you' by Whitney Huston, yours and Peter's song.  

Peter stared at you lovingly as you hit every note perfectly, and not missing a single beat. You were so lost in the music that you were startled when a thunder of applause came your way at the end of the song. Apparently your sweet voice and enticed a crowd and were absolutely  blown away. You stood up and gave a little bow the walked over to your boyfriend who was clutching the soft toys, looking adorable as ever. "You were amazing!" He beamed, pecking your lips.

"Thank you Pete," You gave a loop-sided grin and linking your arm around Peter's strong one as you went on to enjoy the rest of your day.

Cold Hands, Warm Heart

“Jeez Zane your hands are cold,” Jay said, taking his boyfriend's palm and spreading his fingers out, stroking his index finger down each of his fingers,”You can put it in my pocket if you want. My hands are pretty warm too so we can hold hands in my pocket.”

‘’Jay, you do realise I’m the elemental master of ice, right? I can create ice out of my hands, it stands to reason I’d be cold. I’m also a nindroid,” Zane said, raising his eyebrows with a small laugh.

“Well yeah, but it can’t be nice being so cold all the time,” Jay puffed out his cheeks indignantly, absentmindedly letting his hand run over Zane’s rough skin. It felt so human, so individually scarred. Every lump, blemish and line told a story. A story better than any human could wish to tell with their entire lives.

Zane just shrugged and smiled, watching and Jay traced a smile out on his palm.

“Either way, as long as you’re happy.”

“JJ, I’m perfectly happy whenever I’m around you. I couldn’t ask for anything more,” Zane said, wrapping his fingers around Jay’s with a smile. Jay frowned and rested his head on his shoulder, feeling the comforting chill run through him. There was something so… wonderfully juxtaposed about the feeling he got when he touched Zane. The ice shot through his veins like ivy lacing its poison into his blood, but he didn't mind. He didn't mind that whenever he moved away, the skin near Zanes own would turn an icy blue-purple or a rigid pale. He really didn't mind.

Yet… he did. The thought that Zane was constantly cold like this; he could feel human emotions, so why wouldn’t he be able to feel temperature? Dr. Julien was very intelligent, so he wouldn’t put it past him. On top of that, when they were trying to get the scroll of airjitzu, Zane wore a fluffy coat so he must feel the cold. That’s when it hit him. Jay stood up abruptly, causing Zane to jump a little.

“I have to go do some last-minute Christmas shopping. I think I forgot to get something for my moms… cat,” He said, walking towards the door and opening it.

“Jay your mom doesn’t have a cat? Your parents have no pets what are you-” He was cut off by the door slamming shut, leaving him all alone in his room. His shoulders sagged as he let out a long, sad sign, looking down at where Jay had just traced a smiley face on his pal. Had he said something wrong? It wasn’t like him to lie, mainly because he was so inexplicably bad at it but that was just weird.

“Ok I’ll see you later then,’’ He said quietly to himself, getting up and straightening his bedsheets and walking out of his room.

Squatting down on the couch, watching as Cole continuously died to the same enemy.

“Cole, are you even trying?” Kai laughed, poking Cole with his foot.

“Yes, actually Kai now shut up and let me concentrate,” Cole said sternly, pushing his boyfriend's foot away from him.

“Aren’t you supposed to learn from your mistakes in these sorts of video games Cole?” Zane chuckled as Cole died to the same enemy yet again.

“Hey, you just got here don’t take his side!”

“Speaking of,” Kai said, turning to face Zane, leaning back on Cole, causing him to fall down an easily jumpable gap, “What are you doing? I thought you and Jay were hanging in your room.” Zane sighed.

“We were. Then he got all weird and just jumped up and ran out saying he had to get a present for his mom's cat or something,” He shook his head, letting out a long breath.

“His mom doesn’t have a cat? They live in a junkyard in the middle of the desert there's no way a sane rescue place would give them a cat,” Cole said confused, finally putting down his controller.

‘’Did you say anything before that could have triggered whatever that was?” Kai asked. Zane shook his head, pulling his legs underneath himself and crossing them on the couch.

“It was just normal topics of conversation, then he started talking about how cold I was. Then he went all quiet for a couple of minutes, like he was lost in thought and just jumped up and ran out.”

“Eh,” Cole shrugged nonchalantly, picking up a can of soda off of the floor and opening it, taking a long swig and putting it back down onto the floor, “Knowing him he probably forgot something. Don’t worry too much Z, it’s probably nothing.”

“Yeah. Anyway, he isn’t here so it's not like we can ask him. Just chill with us and watch Cole die to the same mob 100 more times,” Kai said with a grin which was quickly snuffed out as Cole smacked him on the back of his head with a cushion. Zane laughed, unfolding his legs and laying them across his friends and leant back, watching the chaos that ensued.

(I can’t be bothered to write a middle thing for this so it's Christmas day now bc I said so)

“Zane! Wake up!” Jay yelled, shaking his sleeping boyfriend. He opened his eyes slowly taking in his surroundings, including the overly excited boy sitting on top of him.

“Good morning JJ,” Zane muttered, rubbing his eyes to clean his optical receptors of any dust that may have accumulated overnight.

“Guess what day it is?” He continued yelling.

“Friday?” Zane said with a mischievous grin.

“Christmas!” Jay yelled, finally flopping down on top of him, tired of yelling.

“Merry Christmas JJ.”

“Merry Christmas snowball.”

“Can I get out of bed now? The sooner I’m up the sooner you can see what I bought you,” Zane said with a smile, knowing exactly how to get him even more excited Jay jumped off with a smile and raced back to his own room, presumably to begin getting dressed and ready for the long day ahead. Zane began to do the same, swapping out the baggy shirt and sweatpants for a comfortable blue turtleneck and black jeans, before heading to brush his teeth and heading to the living room, where Cole and Jay were already assembled, sprawled out and excitedly chattering about the day ahead.

“No Kai?” Zane said, moving Jay’s head and sitting down, letting it fall back down into his lap.

“Nope,” Cole said, staring, fixated on his phone, “He’s doing his hair apparently,” He paused, before leaning back across the arm of the sofa and yelling to his boyfriend “Kai you’re gorgeous as it is come down before I come up there and drag you down!”

“Alright, Mr Mardy I’m coming!” Shouted Kai, not too long after appearing in the room and shifting Cole out of the way so he could sit down.

“What about Lloyd, Nya and Pix?” Kai said after sitting down.

“Lloyd’s with his mom and Wu, Nya and Pixal are at Cyrus Borg’s then said they were gonna go to your parent's place,” Jay replied, not looking away from Zane’s hand he was fiddling with.

“Well then. Who’s first?” Cole said, looking at the others.

“Me!” Jay jumped up and dived towards the pile of presents under the tree, grabbed 6 and handed 2 to each of them, “I hope you like them.”

Cole ripped into the packages and pulled out a rhino plushie with large round eyes and a small smile and a grey and green donkey plush with polka-dotted legs.

“Jay, buddy, I’d kiss you if Kai and Zane wouldn’t kick my ass for it,” Cole said, wrapping his arms around his new children with a large, goofy grin. They laughed as Kai wrapped his arm around Cole’s waist a little tighter.

Kai was next to finish unwrapping his gifts after he finally loosened his grip on Cole, pulling out a small, shiny, red pocket mirror with his name written on it in an explosive font. The second gift to fall out was a red bandana.

“You’d said about wanting to start wearing more headbands like the one Cole wears sometimes so I figured to help you both out I’d get you your own,” Jay said with a smile as Kai wrapped the red bandana under his bangs.

“Jay that’s so sweet what the heck?” Kai said, looking at his new bandana in his new mirror. Jay just shrugged, his cheeks turning a slight red tint.

“Zane’s turn!” Cole said, pushing himself up slightly, stretching his legs back over Jay and Zane’s.

Sheepishly, Zane began opening the first gift, revealing a large, fluffy penguin plush toy.

“Oh my gosh,” Zane said, holding it up and letting his hands run over the soft, his eyes wide with unfathomable joy, “This is adorable, thank you so much JJ,” He said quietly, planting a kiss on his boyfriend’s forehead.

“Stop being gay and open the other one!” Cole complained, shoving his foot in Jay’s face and prodding at his nose and cheeks.

“Go away Cole no one likes you,” Jay said, pushing his foot away, glaring at his best friend.

Zane laughed and began to unwrap the second gift, opening his mouth in awe and surprise when he saw what it was.

“Why are there 13 hand warmers and 7 hot water bottles on my lap right now?” Zane said with a confused grin, looking down at the strange pile of items in his lap.

“Well,” Jay said, pushing himself up slightly, “Yesterday when we were talking about how cold you were, you didn’t say you couldn’t feel it. Plus, you wore a jacket when we went to get the scroll of airjitzu that one time and you feel human emotions so why wouldn’t you be able to. So I bought you hot water bottles and hand warmers to help warm you up.” He finished, looking expectantly up at Zane who sat there in shocked silence.

“So you weren’t getting a present for your mom's cat?” He said quietly.

“No my mom doesn't have a cat. I’m just god awful at lying.”

“Yes, I know she doesn’t. I just- I thought I’d said something wrong so you were mad at me,” Zane laughed, nervously touching the back of his neck.

“Do… Do you like it?”

“Of course I do blue-belle!” Zane said, pulling Jay up onto his lap and pushing a strong, affectionate kiss onto his lips before pulling him into a tight hug, which Jay happily reciprocated.

“If you don’t react like that to my present,” Kai whispered to Cole, “I’m taking them back and dumping you.”
