SPARROW! BEN ; runaways

summary ; your perfect life after running away with Ben except it doesn't end the world

warnings ; language

disclaimers ; no jail time for Ben / no s4 at all ig, reader isn't a brellie but refers to them as siblings + as kind of like an add on to them like lila

word count ; 363

masterlist

you and ben, after falling in love during the s3 era, decided you should just run away together

he'd taken a fond liking of you considering you were both so oddly peaceful when it came to just the two of you

the wedding at the end of the world really solidified it

and then you made out!

but after resetting the timeline and losing your powers, there was nothing to really stick around for

considering you wiped out all the marigold and sloane had disappeared (considering she would've never been born or was erased somehow) and your siblings had all gone off to live their lives, it was time you did too

you only knew Ben for like two weeks before you actually fell for each other so learning about one another was really fun

you packed up your bags (or what remained of them) and headed to wherever the back roads could take you

in the car you learned about each other's music taste and your hobbies, and all the sights you wanted to see around the world

the road took you to south carolina

you stayed on the beach for a week and it was honestly really nice

thank god you were able to steal thousands from sparrow-reggies secret stash lol

there you discovered Ben's hatred for water...

but after a week or so you packed up again and headed west

you drove around the country for about three years just sightseeing and living the most you could considering the two of you never really saw anything outside of home

but after a while, you had to settle down somewhere and make a proper life for yourselves

you both craved to be normal people, to pay bills and taxes and hold down jobs, maybe even make a family, as fucked as it was

I mean, trillionaires son moves to the middle of nowhere to live like a normal person? kinda crazy

you built a house on some old farmland on the outskirts of a little town, surrounded by forest and acres of empty land

you call around the family every once in a while, wanting to know how they're doing and what they're up to

ben couldn't really care tho, he only rlly cares for you, the others weirded him out

you couldn't blame him tho since he barely knew them and they knew a different version of him

when you're on the phone, head tilted as both hands are occupied by biscuit mix that you were mixing up, he stands by you with a soft smile on his face, helping you morph them into balls and put them on the tray

think a 90s type of house, very brown, window seats, etc

you live such a sweet ass life man

you sit on the front porch swing and drink coffee while you watch the sunrise

and in winter you cuddle up by the fireplace and watch shitty hallmark movies

you even started a YouTube channel for shits and giggles where you watch awful movies on cable TV and commentate over them because it's funny

you have a calico cat named sorbet

you have a strawberry garden in the backyard that surrounds the porch

and you go out to eat every friday

so many hugs from behind from the other when one is cooking

sweet kisses on the temple as well

so cavity causing sweet

sorry i wrote 1k words for a crack ship that nobody cares about (and that i just found out about today) do you still think im sexy

[brotherwtf]

the whole thing of austin doing pottery and making callum an ashtray had me immediately thinking of john & gale doing pottery together on a date. what kind of dates do you think they’d enjoy going on together or they’d like to plan?

oh my God so cute anon!

John and Gale would DEFINITELY do pottery together, I feel like Gale would take it super serious and John would be trying to do the scene from "Ghost" the whole time. Gale would eventually have to banish him back to his pottery wheel just so he can get smth done.

I feel like John would take Gale to Lake Michigan if they lived in Wisconsin, they would spend a day out there with John goofing in the water and Gale watching him fondly from the beach. At the end of the day they would walk along the shore and hold hands, talking about everything and nothing

They would go to the movies together, I feel like John really likes those cheesy romcoms while Gale likes scifi movies. There's always something playing at the theater that interests them. I have this cute idea where they're both huge wimps when it comes to horror, so they spend Halloween night cuddled under a blanket and trying not to freak the fuck out as they watch a horror film that Curt recommended (they'll beat his ass for it later)

Gale likes to take John horseback riding; there's a place that offers trail riding near them and they go almost every week. Gale likes the calmness of it, while John likes to see Gale so in his element. It's one of their calmer dates for sure.

Hehe I'm giggling thinking about Gale taking John to an amusement park, but immediately getting chicken whenever John tries to get him on a ride. Finally, John is able to pull Gale onto a rollercoaster, and Gale immediately becomes a thrill junky. He loves the stomach dropping intensity of it, the speed, the height, he loves it all. Maybe they go to amusement parks a lot during the summer.

I think they also like to do picnics, taking lunch out into a park or open space near them and just enjoying each other's company. John will point out cloud shapes that he thinks are funny, and when night comes Gale would name all of the constellations they can see. They usually just end up making out under the stars, but they couldn't be happier.

Gale would take John to baseball games even though he doesn't understand what's going on, he just likes to see John bursting with excitement. He'll sit and eat his stadium hot dog and smile fondly at John's loud cheers and shouts. If their team wins, John would pick up Gale by the waist and spin him around triumphantly, both laughing like children.

John would take Gale to all sorts of science museums, he likes to hear Gale talk when he's excited. A lot of the stuff goes over his head, but he just likes to watch fondly as Gale's eyes widen at a scientific instrument or exhibit. They'll walk into the planetarium, and when it empties they'll kiss tenderly under the projected images.

oooo this one made me giddy I loved writing about it :,)

lmk y'all's hcs for this!

[wehaveimagineshere]

Hey there! I thought of something cute for Carlos Oliveira. He and his partner (gn) slow dancing in their bedroom one night. It's something so soft and sweet and that's sooo him! Just sleepily swaying together and forgetting the hardships of life before cuddling up in bed.~ Thank you guys for all you do!

This is so CUTE, anon. This is definitely very him and I'm so happy I get to write this!! Thank you so much for sending this in!!

~*~*~

You expect to find Carlos already lying in bed, shirt shucked to the floor, blankets laying at his hips, and a hand outstretched to guide you into bed. The nightly routine, the last familiar bit of the day before all lights wink out and you fall asleep wrapped in his arms.

But as your feet guide you into that familiar path, what you see instead makes you pause at the bedroom doorway.

Carlos is in the corner, setting down his phone just as soft music starts filling the nightly silence. He turns and smiles when he catches sight of you, the moonlight from the windows glinting off his hair and bare shoulders as he pads his way over, a hand outstretched in invitation.

"What are you doing?" you ask.

"Asking you to dance, my dear," he replies, smile turning into a grin as your eyes dip to his hand, eyebrows raising in suspicion.

"My dear?" you echo, eyes lifting back to his.

"Would you prefer 'my love'? 'Your Majesty'? 'The love of my life'?"

"Carlos, what are you doing?"

His eyes roll up, an amused huff escaping his lips. "I'm asking if you want to do a little dancing before bed." When you're still eyeing him with suspicion, his voice drops into faux surprise. "Are you telling me you don't trust me? After all we've been through?"

"Carlos, you once put a spider prop in my cereal."

"And I apologized for it, didn't I?" When you don't budge, he adds, "You laughed."

You sigh, a smile tugging your lips as you finally place your hand in his. "Alright, alright."

Drawing you forward, he places a hand on your hip as your free hand finds his shoulder. Steps small but sure, he starts leading you in a loose, sloppy circle, his thumb making gentle swipes along your hip.

"Ever danced before, big guy?" you find yourself asking, feeling your muscles relax as the soft music envelopes the room and his warmth seeps into your skin.

"At clubs. They don't usually play this kind of music, though."

"I'm sure they do some nights."

On your next pass he steps closer, encouraging you to lean against him as he tucks your head under his chin. "You've been looking really stressed. How're you doing?"

"I'm alright," you mumble out reflexively, cheek warming against his collarbone. "Just, y'know. Life."

"Yeah." He drops your hand to instead wrap both arms around your waist, hands pressing gently against the small of your back. Your arms reach around his neck, fingers lazily interlacing. "Maybe we should take a vacation."

"And go where?"

"Anywhere we want. Can stay on home soil and go to Florida. They have good beaches. Sea kinda smells like shit though."

"Carlos."

"It does. You ever smell the sea?"

You roll your eyes. "I've heard Mackinac Island has amazing fudge."

"What the fuck is Mackinac Island?"

"A little island in Lake Huron."

"Michigan? Who goes to Michigan?"

"People live in Michigan, you know."

"Yeah and they're probably bored as hell."

At some point your feet had stopped their movement, your bodies instead just swaying to the music. Conversation peters out but neither of you mind, enjoying the simplicity of existing in this small little bubble, the worries of the day and tomorrow melting away with each sway of your bodies.

Right here, right now, all you know is Carlos.

His chin lifts from the crown of your head only for his lips to replace it, a soft kiss planting into your hair. Tilting your head up, he moves to your forehead, then to the bridge of your nose, and it's not until your lips are pulled wide into a smile he dips to catch them with his own.

The world is his warmth, his presence, his hair tickling your forehead, his stubble scratching your chin. It's the music drifting softly into the room, the slight sway of your bodies, his thumb tracing little circles on the small of your back.

It's each other, together, as the world should always be.

idk it's like

i talked to my therapist today through mid bites of food during lunch

i talked to her about how i kinda feel like i'm slowly forming into a person that actually feels sexual kinda. dooes this make sense? sorry i'm going to treat this like a diary entry. i'll spare you the long post and shove this under a read more.

i write an absolute onslaught of porn but it's always felt kind of like something that's not for me; i'm not a participant, but rather an audience, and i'm totally disjointed from the actual experience. it doesn't pertain to me, almost as if i'm not allowed to. no one's ever said i'm not allowed to be. i guess i've just grown up this way? maybe it's the way that i was never picked by anyone growing up or considered attractive, nothing like that was ever taught to me at a young age that i'm something people look towards to. i've been told my whole life by older adults— aunts, uncles, family-friend members, general, random adults— that they find me pretty, but that's never really translated to much. at the very most, i get called a "doll". i'm not really considered attractive. or maybe i am and i just don't realize?? anyway, it's like, that's fine? or i thought it was fine. sex wasn't for me, and it never was, and i thought i was fine with that— but i'm not. i'm self conscious, i'm shy, i'm scared and timid; instead of feeling anything good whenever i've been in those situations, i feel scared. flighty. i feel like i'm doing something wrong.

lately i've been feeling really okay with myself? dare i say kind to myself? i have no idea what's changed. maybe it's the fact that i'm taking care of myself— oh, god, here we go, talking about "self-care" while actually meaning "grooming myself— hair, nails, makeup— in a way that is socially acceptable" but eh. maybe. sort of. the pink hair was almost a revolution of the self (god, poetic much?) where it really felt like i had agency for the first time in my entire life, and it felt great. it felt good.

the fact that i'm able to dress myself with the little money i have and put on clothes that i picked out for me and me alone for my work and my car actually makes me feel like i have agency. at most, i've always felt like a dog with a propeller hat at a party, and i mean this genuinely. i always feel like i'm severely in the wrong place at the wrong time at every circumstance in my life, and people find it comical and silly that i'm just walking around. maybe they find it endearing; maybe they actually look forward to seeing me because i brighten up their day— look at that, a dog with a propeller hat on, isn't that silly? how cute is this!!!— but that's still not ideal. it would be nice to feel like a person. it would be nice to feel like i'm a 26 year old adult. not a dog with a hat.

lately i've been feeling like a 26 year old adult. i've been talking and showing opinions and having crushes (even if they're fleeting, even if they're stupid, they're real, and i have them, and the impulse to want kisses and hugs and laughter and someone to cuddle next to at night makes me almost incomprehensibly impossible to deal with because i'm so annoying about it) still makes me feel so grateful. i feel like a participant in such a long time with even the idea of sex. god, what a thing to say. i'm not a voyeur in the idea of sexual attraction, i'm a— timid! cautious! scared! but willing!— participant in my own thoughts. i want to go to the beach and wear cute swimsuits. i want to be less shy about how i dress. i want to look in the mirror and continue looking at my butt and being like :O because i like the shape it makes when i move my legs a certain way. i want to be liked. i wanna find myself attractive.

idk. idk. idk. idk. idk. idk. anyway. talked to my therapist today.

More Late Night Writings

The first time Darling met Neo, Gage really had forgotten something at home. He was still adjusting to the new job and schedule so he had to call or text Roomie to bring it by. Neo trips over himself when they meet, struck by their bold nature and confident smile- only to feel a weight on him when this amazing creature asks to see Gage. Later that day back at the apartment, eating whatever takeout they decided to pick up for both of them, Roomie asks about the cute guy at the front office making Gage almost choke on his food when he hears it. "Gross, you think Neo's cute?" Roomie laughing at his reaction, recognizing the name as the one Gage has come home saying he'd gotten in an argument with- again. There was def a conversation about asking Gage to make up scenarios where they have to go by his workplace now and again. "And what do I get out of it?" Gage would do it anyway, just to see Neo fumbling over his words in front of his crush was funny enough, but Roomie agreed to pay him back somehow. Home cooked meals, getting his favorite snacks on their way home, going out for the night with friends so he and Bug had the place to themselves for night- nothing unreasonable. That's his friend so it's not like he wouldn't help them get with someone they're interested in. Gage's ability to help get friends together is second only to Lauren.

Dion, with the help of the internet, has been taking over a lot of the cooking now and does pretty well. Bunny coming home to some nice home cooked meals so they and Dion can hang out and play games or watch movies, or even take a night stroll on the beach has become something they come to look forward to now. They still need to work out the contract part of their dynamic, but they feel safe and happy with the current arrangement, and want to give Dion something that he'd really love since they can't stay home all day every day. One day Bunny brings home a kitten for the flame demon. They explain that they will help care for the kitten since before Dion showed up they were considering getting a pet anyway (neglecting to mention details of maybe feeling lonely living in the house by themself before the demon showed up.) The wide eyed look asking if this is real and not some sick joke to mess with him makes it all worth while to Bunny to take on any extra responsibilities just to see Dion so happy to (almost) be brought to tears as he loves on the small cat talking about how soft its fur is to the gentle purring it emits as it rubs back against his warm skin. When the kitten is resting and Dion needs to set it down, he clings to Bunny, not able to thank them enough for the little pet that's now "ours", much like everything else in the house, it was shared at this point.

It's supposed to rain later in the day so no park to go to today. Instead Law and Sweets start setting up a tent in the backyard while the sun is still out. Gathering up a few books, lamps, and food, they bring Nat out to the tent to spend time together, telling stories like at campfires around the lamp, having laughs and sharing food as if it wasn't raining cats and dogs outside around them. Eventually Nat would fall asleep, little ones need their naps after all, and as she rested in a warm blanket Law tucked around her, the pair would cuddle on the other side of the tent, either reading their own things or whispering sweet nothings to the other as they listened to the rainfall. On another rainy day Sweets decides to let Law cook dinner and keep Nat preoccupied. Getting her dressed in her rainy day best, boots, coat, hat, they set out and splash in the mud, maybe find some frogs and catch them just to watch them hop away enjoying their best froggy life. Obviously they would need to give her a warm bath before any chill set in from the cold rain and sitting down for dinner. (Both these instances I have been in Nat's place and these are things I did either on my own or with my dad on his weekends, so took the ideas from a special place in my own heart) There's more but this is all I felt like spending time spellchecking and all the fun stuff of having written most of this on my phone today. Altair thank you as always for these lovely characters, they're always fun to think about in different scenarios. 💙

what would tiny Izzy and tiny Stede look like together?

oh my goodness-

so! i've had this fic that i've been meaning to write for a while (since my first beach fic), but haven't been able to get to it yet. and it basically involves small stede and izzy on the beach with cg ed. i haven't decided on whether it'd be modern au or canon era, but other than that it's all planned out.

all that to say, i think tiny stede and izzy could either work really well together or be a total challenge for poor ed.

i think it would depend on just how old either of them were feeling!

but in general i think the two of them would get along rather well when small. they would have a few things in common, i think:

they're both very cuddly

if ed isn't there, they're more than happy to snuggle up together. all they care about is being warm and being close to someone else.

ed usually can't help but take a few pictures every time he catches the two of them cuddling. he has a whole album on his phone filled with the candid pictures by now. after he snaps the picture he usually just coos and joins them on the couch or wherever they happen to be.

they both like chewing/nibbling on things

although ed thinks it's cute, it's awfully difficult trying to keep things out of both of their mouths :<

stede is usually better at not chewing on things he's not supposed to, but izzy always seems to be reaching for something he shouldn't.

more than a few times has ed walked in on the two of them trying to chew on each other's sleeves.

they're typically both pretty calm

while izzy can have his moments/tantrums, he's usually content and happy. as long as he gets his way-which ed is trying to be a little more stern about, but he hasn't made much progress. :<

stede is very calm and quiet most of the time. the blond man has been known to get frustrated and upset on especially bad days, but there's usually nothing more than a few tears and whimpers. tantrums are basically unheard of with him.

they both love taking naps

usually ed can tell when it's best for a nap. stede tends to slow down a little, while izzy seems to become fidgety.

so he's very quick in letting them know that it's time for a nap. stede normally doesn't do more than a sleepy nod. and although izzy whines, he doesn't put up more of a fight than that.

both love doing art!

although izzy would definitely have a habit of drawing more on stede than the paper itself-he still enjoys making messy pictures and doing small crafts.

simple crafts that ed himself can do. he tries to remember some of the fun things stede showed him, but sometimes they don't turn out right-but neither of them ever really notice.

stede really tries on all his little art projects. wanting to make ed proud so he tells him that he did a good job. plenty of his art sits around the house (or ship), ed having put them there so stede will know that he loves all of his projects. from the messiest scribble to the prettiest picture. <3

Oh can you write ukfrain? I thought like a love triangle (real one) and they're all too dumb to notice they're in love with each other. I do like Frain being very close and lot of PDA dispite them not saying and England feeling jealous because he/she isn't between them.

Oh wait. It can be nyo if you want 👀

OH, OH ok apparentl;y this turned into the horniest thing ive ever written. maybe im just feeling gayer than usual. A lot of this went into describing what i like about women im so sorry

Y E S. These shits being oblivious and England being jealous and all being very gay

Names bc Nyos: Isabella (Spain) Francene (France) Elizabeth (England)

Dammit why was Isabella so pretty!

This was the simultaneous thought of more than one very gay women in the conference room as Spain flounced up to give her speech.

Spain in a suit could turn most women gay, let's be real here, but if they were already gay, that could be a small problem.

As she droned on about agriculture most people had tuned out and were busy doing various things, like being on their phones, irritating someone or staring at Isabella's hips, luckily for Isa, only 2 people were staring at her hips. But unluckily for her, it was Francene and Elizabeth, one was her best friend (and fuck buddy) and the other was her past rival (now occasional fuck buddy.) 

Now you could argue that  Francene and Isabella's relationship had long surpassed being just fuck buddies, looking after each other and cuddling in the rain, being there when the other was down, kissing eachther goodnight, while sleeping in the same bed.

Normal homie behaviour at its finest.

After that it was Francene, she gave an actually well delivered and structured speech about strikes and why they happen and how to prevent them to avoid major closures. Most people were listening and to some extent Isa and Elizabeth were too, but they were also getting occationally sidetracked by Francenes clothing choices. A very close fitting waistcoat that left little to imagination and even though the skirt reached the knee, it showed her stocking clad calves and if she stretched, parts of her thigh and it was really sending Elizabeth around the bend.

She knew that Francene was mostly occupied by Isabella, but she really wanted to be held dammit. Preferably by either or both of those 2.

When it was finally Elizabeth's turn to speak, she pointedly avoided looking at either of the two. After all she was not wearing anything exactly provocative and her bodily dimensions left a lot to be desired, so she wouldnt have to worry.

At least that's what she thought.

Her bin provocative clothing and her overall dimensions did nothing to stop the two romance nations imagining things that would have gotten them flogged in centuries past.

I mean Elizabeth has done it before, so why not again.

Elizabeth's presentation on urban and rural development was the end to the incredibly long meeting.

Most nations had agreed to go to the pub before going to their hotels and probably sleeping, though some noises occasionally said otherwise.

Elizabeth walked to the canteen, avoiding Isabella and Francene like the plague, even if that meant being around Julchen and Amelia, two women who had no idea what being quiet was.

Except today, they were mostly silent, only muttering to each other under their breaths.

After an infuriating 5 minutes she asked "What is wrong with you two, neither of you have said awesome or dude yet and you're being awfully quiet."

Julchen, being an absolute beast at covering up her tracks and 100% wanted to torture Elizabeth said "We were talking about how I'm pretty sure that Isa and Francene have a thing going on."

"Oh you think I dont know that? I hear ✨sounds✨" she said, quite disgruntled as you would imagine.

She looked over at the two who were being so sappy that she couldn't look away defo not imagining herself in some questionable positions .

Elizabeth stopped her beer while Julchen did as well, Amelia was being a pussy in the corner and drinking coke.

But a couple of beers later, everyone is understandably a bit tipsy and whilst Amelia was stuck with dragging a mooning Elizabeth and a very depressed Julchen out of the bar.

Amelia looked on in dismay as Elizabeth sort of walked (she wasn't stumbling but like still a bit wobbly) over to the very passionately making out duo in the back.

And her tongue being plied with a generous amount of liquid courage says "Can I join you?"

My #1 post of 2022

I think us, as the hetalia fandom, ship so prolifically because we know that without stupid romance what has hetalia got to offer us, I'll tell you what.

Pain, bloodshed, the sufferings of people who have lived though countless wars and lived to tell the tale, killed, maimed, often people close to their heart, or what's left of it

[paleclementine]

It's been a minute. Sorry.

Valentines day was awesome. Me and Anthony made chips and guac the day before that, and then on the 13th we had our annual valentines wing night and I fucked up those honey barbecue wings. we also watch jurassic park and he liked it :) on actual valentines day we... uh. what did we do. uh. oh yeah we cuddled and I had cauliflower rice for the first time with crab and sriracha and mayo and seaweed and Anthony got rancheritos. Thus marks the beginning of my grind after I gained weight from it and starting being in an intense deficit and working off every calorie at the gym/with steps. I got out of 109 hell and into 107 which I'm trying to work off now. School has been lame as hell. I have my full class workshop on tuesday and I'm nervous about it but it's a lot better than the girl who is going with me so uh yeah, that's fine. it doesn't really matter what people think of me or my writing at the end of the day. I just need to get through the workshop and then i'm homefree.

I'm so stupidly ready to go back home. I read Frankenstein, They Both Die at the End, Where the Crawdads Sing, and I'm halfway through Bones and All. I am trying to get through them so I can take some back with me and leave them at home. Anyway, where the crawdads sing mentioned southern food and heat and nature on every single page and it made me miss home so bad. if I really want good southern food while I'm at home and I'm too lazy to make it, all I have to do is drive literally 20 minutes away to Homewood and get it made for me at that awesome resturant that has a new menu every day. what do they call it? a meat and two sides place? sighhhhhh. It's really cool how soul food and southern food overlaps. I wish I could eat it rn.... that would be a binge I could withstand.

but overall I just want to be out of this awful cold. It's still grey, still freezing, still bleak. I called it that in a poem for class-- "Valentine-bleak"-- and everyone was like wooowww such good wording I love that!! even though in my head Valentines is the least bleak thing about all of winter. I just thought it sounded cool. ugh. I hate everyone.

I started watch h2o and it's really good. I ordered the necklaces from aliexpress lol and I'm getting rikki's (hot pink though) and hailey is getting cleo's blue one. I also ordered a red tank top because it was three dollars. I hope it's cute. uhhhhh oh yeah, I'm trying to get to at least 100 pounds by the time I go home. It's not hard as long as I STARVE. i tried to today but then me and anthony got raising canes and I'd never had it before and I wanted to try it. The verdict: Zaxby's is SO MUCH BETTER. the seasoning, sauce, and fries are all peak compared to Cane's. No fucking wonder western people love bland-ass Cane's-- they have no idea what they're missing. I hate the elitism people have out here. like, of course you think Americans have no culture. It's cause you're from white-ass mormon-ass Utah. travel ANYWHERE ELSE in the united states and you will find culture that are beyond lush and diverse. Step one foot in the south and you'll be stomping your foot to a folk song, drinking canned beer, and craving fried okra with your bland-ass raising canes.

I've grown very cynical lately. I don't think I'll get over this until I can be in the sunshine, eat homemade acai bowls for breakfast, ride a bike, wear a bikini by our pool, hang out with hailey, or be woken up by cicada song at 8 in the morning. fleetwood mac, fruit smoothies, mermaids, freckles, bike riding, the wind in my hair, sunset walks, spontaneous trips to the beach.

I know this was intended as an ask game, but I simply could not help myself and instead spent an hour writing something no one wanted...

❤💜 My beloved, Spike Spiegel ❤💜

💜Who kills the spiders? Or who spares them by putting them back outside?💜

If Spike had his way, he would just kill them. If the spider is small he probably wouldn't put in the effort, and neither would I. If the spider was medium, ain't no way am I going to touch it but if I annoy him about it enough he'll put it outside. If it's too big, I'll be hiding behind him as he kills it, screaming.

💜If someone tells you two that you make a cute couple, how do you both respond?💜

Spike is and always will be blushing. He's not dismissive of the idea, but he for one doesn't think he's capable of being a part of anything cute. He'll likely redirect it somehow. Eventually he starts to just mumble a "thanks..."

💜Who is more likely to take care of the household chores? Who’s more likely to cook for the other?💜

Good lord, Spike can't cook. Slowly, he learns one recipe at a time, and will just cook that recipe like once a week for months until he's confident and learns something new. It's never really his forte, but he likes to help out. He's more of a chore guy. He always does difficult gardening stuff - namely mowing and any sort of serious hot and sweaty stuff, which is cliche but he doesn't mind the heat and I very much do. Because I do most of the cooking, he does most of the house chores too. He complains a lot but he always gets them done when they're supposed to be done without any sort of nagging from me, which is nice. 

💜When date night rolls around, are you going to a fancy candle-lit dinner, or are you staying home and watching the stars? Or something completely different that’s special to you guys? Who plans said date night? Is the other surprised?💜

The key has always been variety. Anything goes. Deep down, Spike's a classic gentleman, so a candle lit dinner is certainly on the table, although we aren't really a big fan of high class dining. If it's fancy, it's gonna be like the spaghetti scene from Lady and the Tramp. Campfire in the backyard looking at the stars. Cuddling up in blankets watching an appeasing double feature of romcom followed by action movies with take out food. Going to the beach and eating fish and chips in the sand. All sorts… 

I'm very organized. Spike's...not… But he's been getting better at surprising me. Lots of fun adventures.

💜Do you guys cuddle real close when you sleep? Or do you sleep on separate sides and just cuddle in the morning?💜

Depends slightly on temperature but generally cuddling when going to bed and then in the morning. Some quick kisses and hugs in the middle of the night.

💜Do you have a garden? If so, who takes care of it? Do you plant vegetables or flowers?💜

Yes! We both love the garden. We both take care of it, Spike probably takes more care of it… We like the quiet but also like being active in cultivating that nature. Spike said that he didn't want flowers but I think he secretly did because he takes just as good care of them as the vegetables and other plants. Some wildflowers, lavender and roses.

💜Who carefully picks out all the throw pillows, curtains, table settings, furniture, and general decor? Who sits around reading the newspaper while the decoration process is happening, looking up every five minutes to praise their partner?💜

I am the decorator/planner, definitely. Spike jokes that he'd rather be reading the newspaper… He might - but I drag him around all the shops by his tie. I don't think he minds… If he was busy doing something, it's very likely I'd try and put it together, and then have a complete, frustrated, breakdown… when he gets back he gives cuddles and essentially drags me away from the task...

💜Do you have any pets? If so, who named them? Who’s more protective/clingy of them?💜

Yes - we have 2 cats. A black cat named Sunny, an orange cat named Basil. I'm more clingy of them for sure, but he is more protective. He would never say it though.

💜Who steals the other’s clothes, and does it annoy them?💜

I steal his clothes. All the damn time. Not just for gender affirming but since he's taller as well, it all fits quite well. 80% of the time, I'm wearing at least one item of his clothing. It's so soft and smells like him. He comments on it but he's never genuinely annoyed or anything. It's more like "wow, you look great today ;)." He doesn't fit into that many of mine but he steals one of my jackets so much it's basically his.

💜If you’re married, who proposed? What are your rings like, if you wear any? What was the ceremony like?💜

He proposed :)) We went and had a wonderful day at the beach and were eating a picnic dinner in the sand when he proposed under the stars. Rings are plain, matching, silver bands with the proposal date engraved. The ceremony was simple but lovely - we had close family and friends over, rented out a brick walled bar and function space and ate good food, drank good drinks, and danced to good music.

💜If you went on vacation/honeymoon, where did you go? The beach? The mountains? The road in an RV? Paris, the city of love?💜

2 weeks in the French countryside. Going on picnics and little walks, going out into the town center and marketplaces to get produce, just having a very idyllic time.

Hey there! thank you for participating! A glance into my scryglass revealed that...

Your Perfect Match is...

Albedo

The first time he saw you was when you sat at the fountain in Mondstadt.

He was just working at the alchemy station close by and no matter how hard he tried, his gaze always wandered back to you until he eventually whipped out his sketchbook and started drawing you.

Your attention was shifted to him as well when you heard a little girl yell out in excitement, pointing both at the sketchbook Albedo was holding in his hand and at you.

Unsure what it had to mean you just stared at them slightly puzzled until the little girl screamed "Miss, come look at this, Bedo is drawing you very prettily!"

That's how you got to know the Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius and grew closer to him pretty quickly, he was just so well mannered, gentle and caring that you immediately found yourself drawn to him. You don't remember how it happened but before you knew it you two were a couple.

Albedo loves how clingy you can get, he very much enjoys having you around and feeling your warmth.

Both of you are the science power couple of the town! You often stay in the lab until late, experimenting, documenting new finds and generally just philosophizing about anything. You're on the same wavelength! You always find something to talk about with ease.

You also enjoy just working together without any words though. Just knowing the other is there is comfort enough sometimes.

If you aren't in the lab both of you are found in your shared home (and 90% of the time one of you is drawing, if not both, needless to say you draw each other a lot, too).

Albedo would be very caring about your feelings and there'd be no teasing whatsoever. He is super charming and respectful of your boundaries. Would jump in to defend you if someone hurt your feelings faster than you could see. He's got you, no matter what!

"Ewww he eats bugs and spiders?" is what you would sometimes hear but did they ever see what he can cook? His signature dish? Any award-winning cuisine pales in comparison!

Museum dates? He is the museum date expert! You don't need any audio guide as long as you have Albedo around. Keyword: Walking encyclopedia!

"Kate? Mind helping me with this experiment - Oh I see, you're drawing, don't mind it, I got it. Looking forward to what masterpiece my darling came up with again."

[kaito-is-baby]

Um, can I have the sdr2 boys (if it's not too much) with an s/o that thinks they may be cheating, but they're actually trying to propose? Like they're busy all the time. Hopefully this isn't too much for you, I know you do dr1 a lot. You're one of my favorite imagine writers!

Awww Thank you so so much!!! I do DR1 a lot but I also love my DR2 and DRV3 babies so don't be afraid to request them. Okay, let's go to the imagine

I made Kazuichi, Fiyuhiko and Komaeda so so long so the rest are a little bit simple but I still find them cute, sorry for that

SDR2 BOYS PROPOSING TO THEIR S/O WHO THINKS THEY ARE CHEATING

Hajime Hinata

•He's been really distant lately

•Sneaking out whenever someone calls him

•Making up excuses to not assist to your dates...

•You don't want to think about it but you do

•It really seems like he is cheating

•And you are very sad now

•He tries to convince you to go with him to the beach

•On a date!

•You don't really want to go but you accept and try to talk to him about it

•"Hajime... is there something you are hiding me?"

•"What? No, not at all"

•You choose to trust him and forget about the issue

•Even if you are a little tense

•When nights falls you want to make him a little surprise and go tot he sand to write I love you on it

•And as you walk backwards you crash against something

•You turn around and it's your boyfriend

•In one knee and showing you a ring

•Oh, and you really though he was cheating on you

•He would never! He loves you enough to ask you to spend all your life with him!

•He gives you a long speech about all you two have been through

•And you can't really focus on it because you are too excited

•"S/O I love you, truly and forever, will you marry me?"

•You don't give him any answer, you just jump onto his arms and no words are needed

Nagito Komaeda

•He tried, he really tried so hard to make it cute

•But you know how his luck works

•The first thing he tried was to buy your favourite book and hide a ring on it

•As a reference for that love for books you two shared

•He took you out to a very fancy restaurant

•And you two had a great night

•And then he wanted to give you a gift, the book

•You opened it and no special reaction was given

•Of course you liked it but it wasn’t the reaction he expected

•Well, of course, you didn't know he was proposing

•Because there was no ring at all, it was lost

•He understood it pretty fast and tried another thing

•He tried to propose at the lake after a romantic day on there you two alone

•But a fish ate the ring

•And he tried to propose with fireworks

•But he ended up a little burned

• You started to doubt him, you knew he was hiding you something and all of those weird dates didn’t help, you liked him beiing extra romantic but he had been busy all week and at the end of every single date he looked quite... dissapointed?

• You know Komaeda would never cheat on you, he adores you 

• But it looked like he was cheating definetly

•Luckily, before you went absolutely mad or he killed himself trying to propose, he gave up

•"Look, S/O, I've been trying, really but it looks like my luck isn't on our side for this" he gave you his usual tender smile that smile that made you feel calm whenever you saw it "I love you and all of the bad luck from this world is worth it if it means I can spend my life with you forever, I know it is selfish to want someone as great and hopeful as you all for me and even more if there is no ring-"

• Oh, god, he wasn’t cheating, he was trying to propose all along!

•You cut him with a passionate kiss before he starts degrading himself

•"I want to marry you, Komaeda, I want to marry you because you are the greatest person I've ever met and I don't care about your luck, the ring or whatever you think of yourself, I want to spend my life with you"

•And after a long long kiss Komaeda finally says something

•"Yeah, I am definetely the lucky student, that's how I managed to find someone like you"

Kazuichi Souda

• Kazuichi had been working on his repair shop all week

• And you hadn’t seen him a lot in the past month

• But what made you more anxious was the fact that he hadn’t told you about waat he was working in

• He would usually spend hours talking about his inventions

• And you adored to listen to him because he loked too happy while doing it

• But this time he was keeping it a secret

• And you were a little bothered

• You didn’t want to admit it because Kazuichi was the most caring and attent guy you had ever met

• And he loved you deeply

• But he was also easily distrated by other people

• You knew he would never cheat on you

• But sometimes you were specially sensitive about it if he had been delusioning too much lately

• And that along with the lack of communication issue made you paranoid

• But then Kazuichi called you and planned a date for the next day

• And the wall was projecting something

• He was trying to fix a projector all this time?

• And when you were on the verge of tears the projector started to sho things that hadn’t happened 

• Yet

• Like you dressing for your edding, a big family house,, picures of you to on it

• Cookig, cuddling, playing videogames, talking about his machines... all with matching rings in both your hands

• Some kids maybe?

• And when you turn around and finaly see him he is in one knee giving you a ring

• And you were thinking you had lost him... you had been such an idiot

• He doesn’t really propose because he just can’t talk

• And you can't either, being honest

• And then he is hugging you

• With sucb strentgh yuo breath, he is just way too nervious

• Your poor boy is shaking and his heart razes at lighting speed

• And once he calms down he whispers lots of “thank you”s to your ear

• I mean, he is so thankful for having you on his life... expect a lot of spoiling for the next few weeks

Gundham Tanaka

• Let’s be honest you have always been a little jealous of Sonia

• They were always so... close

• And he had been spending his time in her bedroom more than usual

• Canceling your dates to go see her

• You were about to lose it when the Devas came to your room

• Carrying a little box with them

• It was a rather scary ring, you could almost see hell inside it

• But that was your boyfriend style and you loved it!

• You knew what this meant

• He wasn’t cheating with Sonia, she was helping him and the Devas prepare all of this

• “S/O my dear” It was your boyfriend behind you “there is no one as powerful and valuable as you in this world, and having you by my side has made my power increase" He took your hand in his "would you be the spouse of Tanaka the forbidden?”

•He was too sweet to do it, right?

•RIGHT?

•Peko accompanied you all night long

•It was to keep you save but you thought it was to make you forget about your boyfriend abandoning you on your favourite festival

•When the fireworks ended and you arrived at home all that you wanted to do was cry on your bed

•But then Fuyuhiko was there

•With a little box of fireworks on his hands

•"I'm late, I know, but those fucking morons- I... It took me longer than I thought to fix some problems but I'm here"

•"Problems? What kind of problems?"

•"Yakuza's problems"

•"You should have told me"

•"I didn't want to ruin your night and... I brought fireworks"

•You would like to be angry but you imagined Fuyuhiko with all of his bad temper and anger issues searching for a place to buy fireworks just to cheer you up and you couldn't help but to smile and thanks the world for sending you this wholesome boy

•You went to kiss your boyfriend and watched his special fireworks together when he pulled out a little box of pants

•Until he asked you to go on a walk with him

•But being him it looks more like an acenary from an... adult movie

•You called him and no responses

•But still when you arrive home you love it!

•He has been so distant lately

•And with his constant comments to the people around you it was easy for you to think he would cheat on you

•But no, he was planning this surprise right?

•Yeah, sure it was that

•Your boyfriend's dishes were spectacular

•But your favourite plate was the dessert without any doubt

•And no, Teruteru wasn't the dessert even if he joked about it

•It was a beautiful pink an white cake

•And inside of it a ring

•"S/O, I had never met somebody like you, in you I found another family and I want to be with you forever, will you marry me?"

•"Of course yes babe!!" Is the only thing you say before kissing him

•They didn't really know how to propose to you

•They had never had nobody that loved them for who they were

•They never had nobody who knew them at all

•Except you

•And they wanted to spend the rest of their life with you

•But how? They dressed up as joyero to ask the costumers about their ideas

•But then you saw them and another person (who were just they digused) and started to think he was cheating on you

•You know where dies he gets all inspiration from

•You eventhough it so much that you decided to ask them once they were at home

•"Oh, S/O, baby" they laughed "I wanted to make it special but it will only make it worse" he se puso sober una rodilla and you already knew what he was doing

•And you were so so happy

•"Yeees!" You answered before they could even ask the question

•You just jump over them tirandola al suelo and hugging then

•You were so so very happy and so were them

"i'm too tired for this."

Written for @harringroveweekoflove 's prompt "Bed-Sharing". I also posted this to the collection on AO3.

This is the first time I'm participating in an event/writing challenge and I'm really excited! I don't really know what else to say here. Soo… enjoy these 1.4k words full of fluff~

It's winter. It's winter and they're on a class trip. In a small town in the middle of fucking nowhere. Billy doesn't exactly hate it, but he doesn't particularly like it either. ...Well okay, maybe he does hate it.

Their teacher originally promised that they would go somewhere sunny and warm. Billy was already super hyped because he thought he was going to be sitting on a beach and maybe surfing... It could have been so good. But then the teacher announced that they would be going to somewhere else, somewhere cold and decidedly not sunny. And on top of that, now Billy has to share a room with the one and only Steve Harrington.

As in: The guy he's had a crush on since he first saw him at that stupid Halloween party. Also the guy he beat up that one night when he was looking for Max. He still hasn't really apologized for that, but somehow they managed to form some sort of friendship that's not really a friendship. At least they don't really hate each other anymore.

Billy still has this stupid crush on Steve that won't go away no matter how hard he tries (he's kind of already accepted that it's actually way more than a crush at this point but in Billy's opinion nobody needs to know that).

❀

Now they're in the elevator to their floor together and Billy's trying really hard not to stare at the boy in front of him. It's late, they're both tired and just want to get to their room so they can sleep. When they reach the correct floor, Billy takes a deep breath and steps out of the elevator ahead of Steve.

He has the keys, so naturally he should be the first to arrive at their room, right? He reaches the door a couple seconds before Steve and unlocks the door to reveal a generic looking hotel room. Billy steps into the door frame, looks around and just stops dead in his tracks. Steve almost walks right into his back and suppresses a swear.

Then he sees Billy's face. Steve immediately grows concerned. "Uhm... Hargrove? What's wrong?"

Instead of answering, the blonde just steps aside so Steve can take a look too. He does, and he reacts just like Billy expected. "Whoa, okay. There's... there's only one bed."

Billy just kind of shrugs in response. "Yeah, I know." Then he sighs and turns to look at Steve. "Well, I suppose one of us is gonna have to sleep on the floor..."

Steve nods in agreement while he sets his bag down next to the bed and waits for Billy to do the same. He offers to let Billy take the bed, but the blonde can't bring himself to do that - not when he knows that Steve almost fell asleep on the train and should sleep in an actual bed.

"It's fine, you should take the bed." Billy gestures in Steve's direction. "I'm not that tired anyway."

❀

Billy goes into the bathroom first, to take a shower and get ready. When he steps out, Steve's already set up a makeshift bed on the floor. He smiles at Billy, an awkward smile, and explains: "Didn't wanna sit around and do nothing, so..." He gestures between himself and the bed. Billy nods at him as a thank you, which prompts the brunette to get up and head into the bathroom.

Billy flops down on the 'bed' (it's more like a nest of blankets, but that's okay) and tries to get comfortable. By the time Steve's done in the bathroom and opens the door Billy has managed to position himself in a way that doesn't feel too bad. He gives the brunette a tired half-smile and yawns.

Steve chuckles softly at that and decides that it's time to sleep, for both of them. He climbs into bed, turns the light off and whispers a small "good night" in Billy's general direction. When he gets a groan in return, Steve turns around and closes his eyes. He falls asleep with a faint smile on his lips.

❀

A few hours later Billy wakes up with a start, barely able to contain the scream that desperately wants to come out. He's breathing hard and his heart is beating irrationally fast. He doesn't remember what his dream was about, all he knows is he won't be able to fall asleep again. At least, not when he's on the floor.

So he decides to do something he'll probably regret in the morning.

He'll get up, check if Steve's awake and then just climb into bed with the other guy. But of course that's easier said than done... Billy gets up and gets closer to Steve's bed. He notices nothing wrong, but then Steve takes a sharp breath and he almost flinches. Billy's surprised eyes flick up to his face and he discovers that the other boy is staring straight at him (thank god for the faint light that falls through the curtains).

"What are you doing?" Steve demands to know. Billy sighs and whispers back: "Had a nightmare, couldn't fall back asleep so..." He trails off and looks away, fixates one point next to Steves head. "So?" Billy takes a deep breath. "So I thought maybe it'd help if I could sleep in the bed... With you?" His heart starts beating faster again, but for a different reason this time.

❀

Steve raises one eyebrow. He doesn't do anything else, just looks at Billy with his raised eyebrow as if he's expecting him to burst out laughing and to say that it's a prank. But the thing is - it's not. Billy actually wants to sleep next to Steve.

Steve is starting to get slightly annoyed after a few seconds of Billy staring at him silently. So he thinks this through really quickly and honestly? He just wants to go back to sleep. Without starting a fight. Also, it might be nice to have someone to cuddle - not that Steve would want that, of course.

He sighs, defeated, scoots closer to the wall and lifts one egde of the blanket. "Okay, okay! I'm too tired for this. Just- Come here, alright?" Billy looks at him like he's grown a second head. "Are you serious?" "No, Billy, I'm just saying this because it's funny…. Obviously I'm serious! Now come here."

Steve fully expects Billy to just turn around and go straight back to his pile of blankets, but that doesn't happen. Instead, the blonde actually gets into the bed next to him. Steve's a little surprised, but he doesn't let Billy know. And he feels like he shouldn't, considering he invited the other boy and everything.

In the morning, Steve wakes up and the first thing he sees is blonde hair. A lot of it. It's kind of tickling his nose and he moves his face away before he sneezes and possibly wakes up Billy. He gently untangles their legs and somehow manages to get his body out of Billy's grasp without waking the younger boy, who apparently decided they were cuddle buddies in the middle of the night.

Steve finds he doesn't mind, it's been warm and comfortable. In the next moment he almost does a double take because he realizes exactly what he's thinking there. Then he just shrugs and decides he doesn't care. So yeah, Billy's hot, and he noticed it - so what?

But it's not just that Billy's hot. He's also genuinely trying to be a nicer person since that night at the Byer's. (He hasn't really apologized yet, but Steve knows he's deeply sorry and has already forgiven him in his mind). And he's pretty tolerable if he's nice! Actually, more than that if the way Steve's heart flutters in his chest every time Billy laughs is any indication.

Steve heads to the bathroom to shower, brush his teeth and - most importantly - fix his hair. He gets dressed a couple minutes later and walks back into their room.

He looks over at Billy and sees that he's still fast asleep in the bed, his head buried deep in the pillows. He looks a lot younger like this, and vulnerable. His hair is fanned out around his head, almost like a crown. It looks pretty and soft and Steve… Steve wants to touch it.

Billy's snoring softly now, and Steve can't help but smile at how cute he is.
