Heart

Dorcas ran her hands through Marlene’s hair, feeling the silky blonde hair between her fingertips. The other girl sighed in contentment and leaned forward to plant a kiss on Dorcas’ chin. The whole scene was the definition of bliss.
They curled up closer to each other, letting the rest of the world fade into obscurity. It wasn’t often the two of them could just live in the moment together.
In times like these, Dorcas felt like she could truly forget about the war. Everything else felt like a distant memory when she was pressed up to her girlfriend.
“I have to go soon, love” Dorcas leaned forward to whisper into Marlene’s ear.
The girl groaned in disagreement, pulling her closer; “Why?”
“I have quidditch, I told you this,” Dorcas chuckled lightly, brushing Marlene’s hair out of the way so she could kiss the top of her head.
“Those Slytherins can go a practice without you,” Marlene mumbled.
To get her point across that Dorcas should stay, the girl nuzzled into Dorcas’ neck and lightly began pressing kisses all over. Dorcas giggled as she tried to gently push her away. Her hand landed right on Marlene’s chest and she could feel the girl's heart pounding.
“Your heart is beating really hard,” Dorcas breathed out, barely succeeding in unlatching Marlene’s lips from her neck.
“It’s because you’re so pretty it makes me nervous,” Marlene muttered.
“Yeah?” Dorcas asked, failing miserably to stop the grin splitting across her lips.
“Yeah.”
Dorcas grasped Marlene’s tie and tugged her into a kiss.
Her team could wait a few extra minutes.

gojo would kill your work husband. but if he were the work husband, that's a different story
REAL!! he’s such a hypocrite because if someone mentioned you had a work husband, his entire world would stop and he wold devise the absolute worst plans to make sure that your co-worker, everyone at your job, and everyone in the next building over knew that he was happily committed to you
but if he is the work husband, he’s very........ dutiful in his role. there’s a loose office/lawyer au in my head where satoru is your secretary, and for all intents and purposes, your personal assistant, and he’s good at his job, but mostly because he considers his job to be pleasing you. he has coffee for you when you arrive, he moves your schedule around without you asking, he has answers to questions before you can even ask them, he has fresh flowers on your desk weekly, pokes into your meetings to pretend to hand you a file that’s really just maybe a single document in a manilla folder with candy on top of it—he’s made himself your business, your partner; he’s made himself irreplaceable, and he loves to remind everybody of that fact.
he’s also extremely loyal. sure, he could day a week’s worth of work done in about a day, but that doesn’t mean he’ll just use his talents for anybody. he’s your secretary, so he’s at your beck and call, and everyone knows it. they know he’s the best, but also that he’s off limits—not because you won’t share him, but because satoru won’t let himself be shared.
he also extends his duties beyond work, of course. when he hands you a print out of your schedule for the day and you’re confused by the three-hour block of time you have in the middle of the day, satoru just helps you shrug your coat of your shoulders and smiles, “that’s for the lunch date you have with me, of course!” hanging up your coat in your closet for you, “i’m paying, see you soon, sweets.” and because you’re great at your job, and satoru helps you be great, nobody really questions when the two of you have time for a 13-course tasting menu at 1pm on a tuesday afternoon. and if they did, all satoru would say that you two had a lovely date

some more cool facts about thunderstorms that you can use in your writing:
while tornadoes are incredibly dangerous and destructive, a far more common and possibly deadly threat to be aware of during storms are straight-line winds! when a thunderstorm collapses, all of the air in it flows downwards and scatters in random directions across the ground in straight lines, picking up momentum. these events are called microbursts or downbursts. straight line winds are only classified as such when they exceed a speed of 50-60 mph (~80-97 kmh). microbursts have been known to rip the roofs and shutters off of houses, overturn vehicles, and launch heavy wooden beams into the air.
broad swaths of straight line winds that occur at the front of particularly large and strong storm systems are called derechos. derechos can last for hundreds or even thousands of miles before dissipating and are only classified as such when their damage exceeds 240 miles (~386 km) and if the wind speeds exceeded 58 mph (~93 kmh). due to their size and strength, derechos can cause catastrophic and widespread damage. they're often found in the Great Plains areas during storm season in spring and summer.
single-cell thunderstorms, often called "popcorn" storms, are brief, weak storms that pop up and die out usually within an hour, most often caused by the ground heating up in summer.
multi-cell storms are a common variety of thunderstorm in which several cells of storms form a line or group, called a squall line. individual cells may last from 30 to 60 minutes, but the group as a whole may take hours to die out.
supercells are huge, long-lasting, highly organized storms centered around updrafts (rising air), which can be up to 10 miles (16 km) wide and 50,000 feet (15km) tall. most of the most dangerous and destructive tornadoes come from supercells.
the big, overhanging cloud that stretches over a supercell is called the anvil!
a line of clouds that precedes and accompanies the supercell around its edges is called the flanking line.
