hi um i was wondering if you could but my favorite vipper/utauloid on your list đđ their name is Mochizuki Kei and they are themed around and released on Halloween
oh sure !! and thank you for the ask !!!
i was going ot post them last year, and if you look at my last years halloween post under the cut youll see me discussing them there iirc, however i didnt post them as i wasnt sure of how to refer to them , and what their creator is presenting them as and stuff ?
the utau wikia says that kei is just called a transphobic slur by their creator
and shows they rather be refered to with feminine terms
also the fact that they are specifically being described as "becoming" a cool beauty, rather than like, dressing as one, makes me think this is more permanent, like transitioning, rather than crossdressing
ive also had people say that the most accurate translation of the word used to describe their gender is just "trap", which absolutely is transphobic
i think a better translation of "otokonoko" is more like "crossdresser" though ?? calling a character who says they want to be refered to in feminie ways a crossdresser instead is transphobis either way though
which makes it seem like this is like, a transfem character being presented in a transphobic way by their creator to me ??
as such, as a trans person myself, i didnt want to uncritically post about a character who is seemingly being refered to in such a transphobic way without knowing more about them and being sure that what im writing is true
kei reads a bit like grell from black butler to me ig ASDHKJASHDK like, a character who is being called male but says theyre a woman and wants to be refered ot with feminie terms ?? i have no idea what words are used to dscribe grell in japanese though, im only bringing this up as have another example to compare kei to
i could totally be all wrong about this though ???? i know that japanese words for gender do not easily translate to english, as they come from a different culture and society, so the words used specifically within that culture and society need to be viewed within that context to fully make sense, if you get what i mean,, and ik that my views and knowledge of gender as a person living in the uk and being on the (largely american) english-speaking internet are going to be different to those of people living on the other side of the world to me, so i get that my interpretation of kei could be completely wrong
to me in my knowledge though, the fact they want to be refered to with feminine terms and want to "become" a cool beauty seems to be pretty indicitative of them just being transfem, rather than a crossdresser like their creator says
i really cannot be certain though, and i am completely open to being corrected by anyone who knows better, or can give anything on this topic !!
so since i have such doubts about kei, their gender, what to call them, and how they translate from japanese to english, i decided not to post about them ahskjdhjkasdh
tldr: i didnt post kei because to me they seem to be a transfem character being presented in a transphobic way, but i dont know japanese and cannot be sure that is the case, so i chose againt posting them
#ask#I HOPE THIS ALL MAKES SENSE ????#its 2am so this might all just be nonesense bs#i hope its at least enough to explain my thought process at least#AND SORRY FOR THE MASSIVE WALL OF TEXT HAIKSHDJKASKLDJA#also !! i japanese there are different ways to say âIâ like first person pronoun#and this can change depending on gender#and in kei character profile they go to call themself âbokuâ#a mascule word#then switch to âwatashiâ#a more feminine one#as far as im aware#however this cannot be translated into english#due to our ungendered âIâ#and os has been switched to being in second person with âheâ and âsheâ in the translation im shwoinh#this is also why im refering to kei with they them#as not only might i be wrong in reading them as transfem#if they are transfem taht doesnt mean they would use she her in english necesarrily#yea i hope this all makes sense !!!!!#again if anyone knows better than me please help#correct me on where im wrong or just bring forth better knowledge or anything#also even if kei is in fact being refered to in transphobic ways by their creator#ill still be posting them#i just want to have the information i need to be able to explain taht#also thank you for the ask !!!!!!!!!#gives me an excuse to go off about how i dont understand keis gender#and to cry for help from those who know better#looks up at you with my puppy dog eyes#meoww#please someone help me make sense of this

no no listen i see the vision
what were the other ones then
#'but sarah very is camp and essentially neil's coming out album and bilingual has metamorphosis--' shh give me a second#yes all of their albums are essentially gay/queer in a sense due to the fact their experiences as gay men are going to influence#the songs and themes and perspectives and narratives#that's absolutely true#HOWEVER#in the case of very and im going to steal my friend's quote but it is gay as a byproduct of the relationship neil was in when they wrote it#but the album by and large is about neil falling in love and then that relationship breaking up#yes the visuals and aesthetic are camp but that doesn't mean then nonetheless as a whole isnt as well even though its not camp#(and classifying very as 'camp' is a whole other thing but you get it)#what makes nonetheless interesting is how queer themes and people and inspirations are woven into the album#new london boy is undeniably queer given it covers neil's queer experience and finding himself and moving to london#i view nonetheless and its queerness as essentially a successor from will-o-the-wisp on hotspot#you have that intrigue. the longing. the mystery. the tension#neil drawing from christopher isherwood as inspiration#and he describes the song as queer#elements of nonetheless reflect that#feel deals with a gay relationship based upon intense devotion but also immense longing. neil mentioned wilde as a partial inspiration so#that play on the narrator using friend when obviously the other person being their partner/lover adds some intrigue there#dancing star deals with nureyev and his defection and a core theme of psb and queer experience of escaping to a better life#a new bohemia references gay activist wisconsin group les petites bon-bons and the loss of community and artistic spaces and scenes#that largely had queer artists and theorists and activists as a part of them#love is the law is influenced by oscar wilde in france after he left prison#all of these queer references and experiences and themes are essential aspects of the album and an overall queer theme#it's all neil having a nostalgic reflection onto a queer past and history and experiences that in some ways no longer exist#or don't exist in the same way#even schlager has that theme of looking to the future and why am i dancing focuses on releasing inhibitions and embracing oneself#and then each music video has been queer. loneliness is. yeah. dancing star w nureyev + new bohemia w margate and majority queer cast#the key thing is intentionality. the queerness and references and experiences and all of it has been intentional#rather than a byproduct of their personal experiences and reflections of what is happening around them that just is in their work#anyway i will shut up now sorry this is long omfg. fair to disagree btw

Decided to fill out a template from @/falling-skyzz I feel normal about . The dragons ! List of characters & design & dynamic thoughts under the cut <3
Also If anyone else fills out thus template feel free to send me the post,, I would love to see other people filling this out!!! I love templates !!
Secretkeeper & Moon â˘Â I understand theres a lot of reasonable hate for Secretkeeper but!!! I find her & moon to be a very fascinating pair! To make a long ass thought short, I think Secretkeeper is the embodiment of âproduct of her environment & deeply traumatize & projectingâ. I think she genuinely really loves moon but obviously expresses that through being ââprotectiveââ. But I think shes genuinely a character with a capacity for change & realizing the autonomy Moon has over her own powers. Also from the perspective of Moon I think her arc around her relationship with her mom could be really interesting, especially as Secretkeepers authority becomes challenged in Moons life & she has to confront the bullshit her mother has put her through. Overall very very interesting pair I think about them a lot.
Design Note: Secretkeeper is duller in color than Moon & has less stars due to lack of moon light on the island! Also the scales around her mouth are almost completely black, making her mouth barely visible, giving her the name âSecretkeeperâ as she âhas no mouth to tell others secrets.â
Tsunami & Starflight ⢠Just one of my fav siblings! This specific illustration is from the Arena Scene in Dragonet Prophesy! I really really love Tsu & Starflights dynamic of looking up to eachother & their development together just. So neat!
Design Note: Starflight has very few constellation marks in this illustration as he hasnt spent much time under moonlight quite yet!
Shark & Abalone ⢠One of my more out-there ships! I based this on the thought that Shark was once close with Abalone (cough. Husbands.) and that relates to why he was willing to give Tortoise a lunch-break from watching the eggs. He already saw someone close to him die from being overworked to watch the clutch, he didnât want to watch another dragon die from his sisters selfishness. I could write an essay on these two I swear
Deisgn Note: Shark is based on a tiger shark & abalone is based on real abalones! hes one of my fav designs here
Six-Claws & Ostrich â˘Â Heâs just a sweet dad! the little we see of him he seems to really love her & vice-versa <3 theyâre just neat
Design Note: Six-Claws is based on a king cobra & is a specific sub-âspeciesâ of hooded Sandwings ! Burn found his hood mutation & six-claws super interesting
Tamarin & Pike ⢠My fav background friendship! Theyâre just fun. I like Pike just chillin out around Tamarin & describing flower colors to her to the best of his ability (she just likes to hear him ramble about a shared interest)
Design Notes: I updated how I draw Tamarins eyes to properly resemble a blind-born dragon ! Also Pikeâs deisgn got some yellow in it and I really like it <3
Whiteout & Thoughtful ⢠I just think theyâre neat!! They just seem like a sweet pair love them
Design Note: none really! Just experimenting with a rando Thoughtful design that I tossed together for my âships tier listâ
Tsunami ⢠Its just her :) my fav dragon <3!!! I definitely dont think she upholds the âprincessâ title once she gets older, her only link to the throne is by Coral insisting monthly visits but Tsu otherwise wouldnât be any interesting in royal life I would imagine
Design Note: Shes caught a waaururrghh something im going bonkers I cant remember what fish that is and my reference photo seems to have dissipated into the cosmos
Anemone ⢠I LOVE HER. SO MUCH ! Anemone haters BACK OFF!!!! Her relationship to her powers is so fucked man. Something youâd think would give her power & control is just a key by which others use to manipulate and abuse her like . Man :( shes literally never had any autonomy over her own identity & intermingled her powers into her identity So Much only for that aspect of herself to also be revealed to be a facade for someone elseâs desires like. GUH I love her so much I hope shes having a good day I dont care what anyone says she deserves to be a brat and I support her for it
Design Note: none really! The stars in her talons are just metaphorical though
Snowflake & Snowfox ⢠THE OGS!!!!!! MY FAVORITE PROBLEMATIC LESBIANS <3 Ahhh remember in the early days when they were considered the #1 most problematic ship because they were gay and also evil. I love the evil lesbians so much theyâre so shitty sorry Darkstalker Snowfox shouldâve been queen I wouldâve loved to see that go down itâd be so silly
Design Notes: Snowfox is based on an arctic fox shedding into their summer coat!! I know its p . Away from canon descriptors of her but it was sm fun to illustrate so shhh <3 Snowflake is just grey & blueish per-canon but shes sooo fun. love her.
Okay thats all here are the individual illustrations now !!!!! Because why not !!! If these arenât transparent its all over
#if youre wondering why I havenât linked the template itâs because it wont ! let me add a link for some reason! tumblr normal moments!#BUT GUH THIS BEAST IS FAINALLY BEHIND ME I dunno why this was so hard to work on#BUT IT WAS SUPER FUN <33#art#tideart#designin#WoF#Secretkeeper#Moonwatcher#Tsunami#Tsunami WoF#Starflight#Shark#Commander Shark#Abalone#Abalone wof#Six-Claws#Ostrich#Tamarin#Pike#Pike Wof#Thoughtful#Whiteout#Anemone#Snowflake#Snowfox

I think we all wanna know about the process for the last two pages
HAHA IM GLAD. THESE TWO PAGES TOOK FOREVER
I was really proud of them when I sketched them out and you can definitely see a lot of details ended up staying the same between the sketch and the final! These were the pages that I probably had the clearest ideas on because I wanted especially Ace drowning and Tage saving him to be impactful and pretty memorable, hence all of the different viewpoints and poses. Getting the head angle on that final page was really annoying but there are some excellent references on referenceangle.com for heads turned upwards, like the following:
What probably took the longest this time around was the lineart, actually, because I got Really Into It and couldnât stop adding more detail.
This becomes! A trend! Because that one panel of Aceâs hair made me feel like I had to keep that consistent quality of lineart for the rest of the chapter even after that. So thatâs why I had to split the chapter lmao
Extra notes on coloring:
Doing underwater pieces is actually a really good exercise for color theory, since warm colors in cool lighting and in a blue environment are often quite different than youâd expect them to be. You can definitely do a shortcut by using hard light blending mode on full opacity, as Iâve shown here, but when you use hard light blending mode, sometimes some specific colors may turn out muddled or brown-ish, like the orange, so I find picking your own colors also gives you some nice freedom over like. Cohesion in your palette.
The other thing that really makes the underwater scenes is the bubbles which are honestly a lot of fun to do! After you realize that bubbles are fundamentally just weird little glass/ mirror balls that take even less effort because the shapes will get distorted anyways you can sorta just do whatever. The key is mostly getting sharp contrast between the darker blues and the bright highlights I think?. If you want a tutorial on bubbles let me know :)

November 24th, 2019
San usually doesnât ignore your calls like this.
Your worry was starting to grow with each flight of stairs that you ascended to reach his apartment. You sent message after message with no response, giving leeway to the most irrational part of you to think of the worst possible case. You stopped for a moment and opened your chat rooms again, finding Yunho, his roommate in your contacts and shooting him a quick text asking if either of them were home.
Of course San would do something like this after just asking you the night before to go on a date with him and standing you up.
Asshole. You asked yourself countless times why you still put up with him, but you fell short of an educated answer. You just loved him and that was enough of a reason for you. However, you were frustrated and freeing and had half a mind to turn around and leave, but your phone suddenly rang with a new notification.
Yunho had answered you. He said that he wasnât home, but San was. He had talked to him just an hour ago before you arrived in the area. He said it was possible that he could be playing video games with his headset on and doesnât hear his phone going off. He told you not to worry about him too much.
Easy for you to say..
The nagging feeling in your chest slowly began to subside at his response. Yunho knew you long enough to know that you loved to worry about San even if unwarranted. He also knew that you were in love with him before you did. Yunho was always present and knowing of everything without actually witnessing it himself. Sometimes his assuring and know-it-all behavior pissed you off; mainly because you wish you had that much confidence in everything around you. You envied him in more ways than one.
ě ě¤í¸
81024# is the code for the key lock, you can let yourself in. If he is playing video games he probably cant hear you ringing the doorbell either. Dont steal anything ;)))
You laughed a little harder at that than you intended to. Why was he always so unserious about everything? You would question him on his behavioral tactics later, all you wanted to do was get out of the petrifying cold and be with San. So, you moved quicklyâ scared that if you stayed in one place for too long your boots would freeze to the concrete beneath your feet. You quickly shot Yunho another text, thanking him for his help.
Shuffling up the last flight of stairs, you grounded yourself on the platform and rounded the corner that led to the first set of apartments on the floor. You continued forward until you came to the eighth door. Your ears perked at the sound of movement inside.
And then a voice. And another.
Unfortunately, it was too muffled for you to pick up anything else, and you assumed that he had company over. More than likely Wooyoung. Maybe Yunho didnât know he was coming?
Referring to the code that he had granted you, you slid up on the keypad and punched in the digits. A short and kind of cute chime sounded from the mechanism telling you that you put in the right code and the door buzzed, undoing whatever security measurements that came with the system and clicked open. You made your way inside, being welcomed to the familiar, manly, but still good scent of their home. The warmth from the heater hit you and you never accounted for how much you desired to be hot for once.
You pulled your boots off along with your coat before wandering into the rest of the apartment. Peeking your head into the living area just around the corner from the entrance where you knew their joint gaming console was. The television was still on and playing a show loudly rather than a game, which explains the voices you heard from outside, but he was nowhere in sight. Neither was Wooyoung like you expected.
He must be in his room. You thought.
As many times as you have been to his place and even spent nights here, you still felt like you were intrudingâ that eerie feeling telling you that you shouldnât be here was looming over your gut, but you continued anyway.
âSan?â You called out instinctively as you neared his bedroom. The door was closed, so you placed your hand on the door knob and pushed it open. The worst possible case was that he was naked, which you didnât mind as youâve seen many parts of each other anyway. âIâve been trying to call you, but you didnât-â
You werenât sure what look you had on your face, but you were more than sure that it resembled exactly what you were feeling on the inside. Heartbreak. Your eyes went wide and your lips parted in shock at the sight of Choi San, the man you loved more than anything, scrambling from underneath a naked girl. A girl that wasnât you. But it wasnât some random girl. No. That dark hair, that disintegrating butterfly tattoo on the back of her shoulder. You knew her.
Your skin glossed over with a chill. And your heart broke into a million pieces.
It was Veronica. Your best friend. At least thatâs what you thought until now.
âJesus⌠What the hell?! What are you doing here?â Panic was obvious in Sanâs voice as he sat up in the bed, looking just as frightened and bewildered as you were. He climbed out of the bed and quickly pulled on his boxers.
âYouâŚAre you serious?â There was nothing in you that tried to maintain composure as everything you were feeling began to bubble to the surface and you let it come out. âWhat the fuck are you doing here, V??â
âHow the hell did she even get in here??â She barely even acknowledged you. Just looked to him like a savior of some sort. And that pissed you off even more.
San took a step towards you and you took two steps back. âLook, I can explain.â
You put your hand up to him to stop him from speaking. âDonâtâŚtalk to me. You don't get to speak to me right now.â
âSan, can you just make her leave? Sheâs being a nuisance.â
âHey, stop. Just let me handle this.â San corrected her and she shifted in place, gripping the covers that were keeping her breasts from spilling out into the open.
Meanwhile, you shot daggers towards Veronica at her words. Your brows furrowed across your forehead, possibly leaving a mark from the tension that you could feel between the bridge of your nose. Your lip twitched with the want to say so many things, but no words were strong enough to show what you were really feeling. Rage.
You looked eagerly around the room for something. All you needed was something. Anything. Thatâs when your eyes locked onto it. A medium sized glass cup sat dormant on his computer desk, and with the quickness of a quality athletic star as well as the strength of one, you grabbed the glass and hurled it in Veronicaâs direction before San could grab and stop you. She let out an ear-jerking screech and covered her head with her hands before the harsh sound of the glass shattering filled the room and silenced everyone in it. You couldnât control yourself at that moment. You missed her by a few inches as the glass impacted with the wall just above the headboard, sending shards falling on the sheets and her. Part of you wanted it to hit her. You wanted her to hurt like you were hurting, but it still wasnât enough to quell your anger.
âWhat the hell is wrong with you?! Youâre mental.â Veronica snapped.
âSeriously?!â San grabbed your arms, trying to push you back to get you out of the vicinity of Veronica. âYou need to calm down.â
You pressed your hands to his bare chest and pushed him back off of you. âDonât fucking touch me! Calm down?â You focused your gaze back on her. âYou knew. You knew about us the whole time! And you do this?â
âObviously, there wasnât an âusâ between you if heâs fucking me and not you. Right?â She spoke with such a venom lining her words and they were aimed directly at your heart. âMe and Jamie warned you. You didnât listen.â
âI should have known from the beginning that you were a grimey bitch. Youâd open your legs for anybody that so much as blinks at you.â You snapped back.
âHow do you think that I got in his bed then?â
You were going to kill her. You felt like crying right there, but your blood was already boiling in a crimson pot. It not only pained you to hear those words from someone you once considered a friend, but from someone who also knew every single thing that happened between you and San. Every tear you cried was on her shoulder, every message of happiness and celebration you sent her, she sent you her congratulations. She was there for it all.
And she betrayed you. He betrayed you.
âI canât fucking believe youâŚboth of you.â You scoffed, backing away from San with weak and rigid steps. âYou two deserve each other.â
You attempted to turn and walk out, but he grabbed your arm to stop you. âGod, donât be like that.â San coaxed. âThis didnât mean anything.â
He always tries explaining everything away, making everything seem smaller than what it was. Acting as if none of this was a big deal, but he just couldnât see the pain in your eyes that was hiding behind the blind rage. You glanced down at his hand for a second and then back up to him, yanking your hand away without another thought.
âI donât give a fuck what it meant. Whatever it isâŚthat I thought we had? Itâs over. Keep her for all I care, just donât talk to me ever again. In fact, forget I existâforget that we ever existed.â Those were possibly the coldest words that you have ever said to him. It hurt you to even say them, and you could see the sly grin that was on his face soon falter.
âYouâre not serious. Come on, we can fix this. She doesnât mean anything to me. You do.â
âGodd! Youâre so full of shit, San! She meant something if it was enough to risk-.â Your eyes burned through him like you had laser vision. You wanted him to hurt. You wanted to tear him down just like he did you over the years. âForget it.â He just couldnât know that your heart was breaking into pieces. âAnd if I really meant something to you, you wouldnât have fucked my best friend behind my back. Iâm done. Weâre done.â
He had heard you say that many times before, but now he realized you were serious.
You stomped out of the room, making a b-line for the front door. Quickly stuffing your feet back into your boots and grabbing your coat from the rack, you placed your hand on the door knob and was just about to crank it to leave when you heard Sanâs voice crowing and breaking from the same spot where you had just left him.
âPlease, letâs just talk about this. I- I donât want you to go. I-â He paused. âI love you.â
You thought when you heard those words from him for the first time, that it would light a fire in your stomach. You would smile like an idiot and throw yourself into his arms like a love sick puppy. It was everything you ever wanted to hear him say, but hearing them now? Like this, when you were on the verge of breaking down? All it did was burn a hole through your heart, severing the last bit of forgiveness you could ever give himâ along with whatever love that remained.
A singular tear fell from your eyes but was absorbed by the thick fur of your coat. You didnât even bother to look at him. If he saw you cry, it would give him the satisfaction of your sadness. It would tell him that you still cared. That you still could possibly love him despite what he had just done to you. That there was still a chance at redemption. And you didnât want to care about him anymore. So from this moment, you decided to hate him. For good.
You took a deep breath. Letting that numbness wash over your heart. And with the last inkling of strength in your voice, you spoke to him one final time and meant it.
âFuck you, San.â
ęłěíë¤
Present Day
Those were the last words you ever uttered to him since your relationship ended.
Calling it a ârelationshipâ is a bit of a stretch though, it could better be compared to Hell on Earth. An excruciatingly ugly, painful, heartbreaking, love story that went up in flames once the final straw had been broken. The thought of it filled you with agony and it felt as if the pain would be eternal, which is why you stopped thinking about it completely. But for some reason it resurfaced.
For whatever grudge the universe had against you for whatever reason, the thought of what you once had, had oddly brought you⌠comfort. If that was the right term to use. It felt familiar even with the blight it left on your heart. Thatâs how he was, Choi Sanâ albeit possibly your worst decision in a man at the timeâ he had a way of conflicting every emotion and thought you had just by saying a few simple words. He was a smooth talker, you see. Blessed and born with a silver tongue and a kindness that made his every transgression against you seem minute (my-nute).
He always had a knack of luring you right back into his trap whenever you attempted to free yourself. His smile brought you to the closest feeling of love that he would permit you to have, and his kisses made you fall even harder. If he cut you by his bastard-like actions, he would heal you with his words, or by fucking you so good that you completely forgot why you were angry in the first place. Until he does it again and the cycle continues.
It was all a part of his little game and you were too in deep not to play.
Each night with him that you did not spend yelling and throwing tantrums, you would lay in his arms and let the calm sweep you into a deep slumber. When you shut your eyes all you could see were the same blaring red lights that flashed constantly behind your eyelids. They were your warning. A wailing and urgent siren that was almost deafening to your ears, screaming for you to get away while you were ahead. Every neuron in your brain fired off in an attempt to make you aware of the damage that was set to ensue if you continued this way with him.
You never listened.
That was probably the most justifiable reason behind all of your sleepless nights. Maybe if you had heeded those warnings, and listened to your first mind back then to leave him before you gave him a piece of yourself , you could have been saved from the intense heartbreak later and the aftermath of pain that followed in his wake.
You hated him, but for some reason unbeknownst to you, you still mourned your separation.
He was your first love after all.
You built a fantasy world around your heart to protect it from the truth of who he really was. It was the only solace and peace that you could maintain by giving yourself a place to hide when false hope seeped in. The hope that he would love you back. It kept you content with your situation and never allowed you to think any deeper about a future with him until you stopped hoping completely.
You tried your hardest to forget every moment he made you smile, the softness of his fingers when he touched your most delicate places, the way his lips felt on your flesh, and every warm feeling that resembled even an ounce of love or admiration that you had for him. You tried to forget it all. You wanted to. You needed to. And now the only memories that remained were all filled with regret, anger, sadness, and hate.
Although it has been four years since you have felt that way, those feelings still linger even now, trickling into your present no matter how hard you tried to keep them in the past.
âSooooooâŚthe company dinner-â Yunho tried the topic again, but you quickly shut him down.
âHell no.â You didnât even have to look at him when you said it, just continued to work on the stove, stirring around the ramyeon that would be your lunch.
Yunho let out an egregiously loud, and seemingly frustrated groan. âDude, you promised.â
You set down your cooking utensil next to the pot and cranked down the heat before turning to face him at the kitchen island where he sat across from you. âYeah, I did! That was before you so graciously informed me that that evil bitch would be there.â
âI didnât know that she was the event coordinator this time. The other one got booted off at the last minute, Jamie was the one that told me, and told me to tell you as soon as possible.â He explained, mentioning yourâ mentionably more loyalâ other best friend of almost ten years, Jamie, moving his hands around so wildly while he spoke that it was hard for you to focus on him.
âLook, Iâm grateful that you gave me a heads up!â
âThank you for some recognition! Jamie and I work hard for you.â He said.
There he goes being unserious again. You sighed softly. âBut thatâs where it stops. I think if I get within ten feet of her I may actually kill her.â
âYou tried that once, remember? Didnât really work out.â Yunho grabbed the glass of wine sitting in front of him and took a sip of it.
Low blow. You flicked him off for his comment, visibly irritated at what he said, but all he did was laugh.
Yunho cocked his head to the side, leaned forward on the marble surface of the kitchen island and stared up at you with the most aggravatingly cute smile. âDid you know that you look even prettier when youâre pissed off at me?â
You rolled your eyes and turned back to the stove. âYouâre annoying..â
âYou love me for it.â He cooed.
âDebatable topic at best.â You said flatly, moving over to the counter to chop up the rest of the meat slices to mix into the broth.
The chair scraped across the tile. Heavy footfalls began to round the corner of the kitchen island, leaving your mind to the imagination of where Yunho was going as you focused on your task in the kitchen. The muscles in your back tensed when you felt a sudden weight pressed against it. Long, strong arms stretched out beside you; his hands found purchase on the counter and trapped you against it as your breath hitched at his closeness. Yunho cleared you in height alone, standing at a whopping 6â3 compared to you. You werenât short yourself, but anybody that stood next to him would look like an ant. His presence alone was dominating and commanding and suddenly you felt much less brave than you did 3 seconds prior.
You stopped cutting and slightly turned your head towards him. His lips were pursed against your ear and you were scared about what would follow after.
His breath was cool and it made the hairs on your neck stand on end when he whispered, âI donât think itâs that debatable..â
He placed a kiss on your earlobe. Another on your jaw. Your neck, canvassing the beautiful tone of your skin. He pressed his pillowy pair against your shoulder and it caused you to shiver. You could feel the smile pulling at his lips at your reaction.
âYunho..you know we canât. Jamie will be home soon.â You said almost breathlessly. The warmth radiating from his body also made you hot. You could feel the heat rising in your cheeks.
âYou even say my name pretty. How am I supposed to resist you if you talk like that?â His voice was deep and sultry, housing a slight grumble at the end of every word.
âWhat if Jamie-â
âI donât care about Jamie. I care about you.â Yunho snaked his arms around your waist and spins you around to face him.
Jamie would probably kill you if she found out since Yunho was just as much her best friend as he was yours. Besides, I doubt she would want to know that the two of you ever had sex in the first place or how you even got there to begin with.
When you ended things with San, you also tried to cut every piece of him out of your life entirely. Including Yunho. Even though the two of you were close, he was even closer with San than you were. You didnât need to have that constant reminder of the man that broke your heart, so you stopped talking to Yunho as well as his friend group entirelyâetching that part of your life out of your head for good. However, Yunho didnât take that too lightly.
A little bit after the incident one night, while you were crying your eyes out on the couch in the very apartment that you stood in, there was a resounding knock at the door. Thinking it was Jamie, your roommate, who left her key again, you wiped your tears and quickly shuffled to let her in. To your surprise as well as your dismay, it wasnât the olive toned ginger you had come to spend your teenage years with, but instead Jeong Yunho in all of his terrible timing glory.
You tried to close the door on him and tell him to leave, but he stopped you. Insisted that he wanted to merely check on you since it had been so long since you spoke. He then spilled that Jamie knew you needed a friend and she wouldnât be home for another two days, so she asked him to come see you. As much as you wanted to yell at her, you knew her heart was in the right place.
You werenât sure how things got to where they did, but you remembered that he apologized over and over again for letting him hurt you and that he had no idea about him and Veronica. He said they even got into a fight about it and hadnât seen San since that night. Him telling you that opened the floodgates and you found yourself pouring everything you kept inside out onto his shoulder. He held you with his fingers hooked into your hair and pressing you even deeper into his shoulder for you to cry. He said it was okay and he understood. He pulled you off of his shoulder and cupped your face with his hands, wiping away the neverending flow of your burning tears with his thumbs. Yunho called you beautiful. He hated to see you cry so he smiled and the sight alone unthawed the iceberg that you had locked around it. One thing led to another⌠and well.
He kissed you. You didnât stop him. Nor did you want to. You needed him more in that moment than you ever had since you met.
You tried many times to end whatever it was between you countless because of your guilt, but Yunho never wanted to.
âLetâs be guilty together.â Is what he would say to you.
Thatâs how all of this mess started. Ever since then, itâs been an unspoken thing. There was no commitment there, but rather a comfort. Something only the two of you understood. You felt horrible, but at the same time it was just nice having someone. He was not yours and you werenât his, but when you were together it was just you two. No expectations. Maybe it made you a hypocrite, but you stopped caring a long time ago.
For the first time you looked into his eyes and saw the hunger lying in his hues. He scoured every inch of your face, but danced around the lining of your lips as if he could taste them just by looking at them.
Throwing your arms around his shoulders, you pulled yourself in closer to him and smiled, lowering your voice to speak as if it werenât only the two of you in here. âIf I knew you were going to be this much trouble, I would have left you outside that night.â
Yunho moved in even closer, so that you could feel his breath brushing across your lips. âWell, since you didnât, now I can do this.â
His lips collided against yours tenderly. They tasted just as sweet as they were the last time you kissed him, hinting at a slight berry flavor from the chapstick he frequently wore. They felt smooth and delicate against your own. Yunho guided you through the kiss and you followed. The kiss was gentle but firm, like he was trying to let you know that he meant every single word he has ever said to you.
His arms tightened around your waist more, tugging you closer to him so that your bodies were pressed against the other. The two of you were perfectly in sync as you explored each otherâs mouths. Your fingers tangled into his thick blonde hair before dropping to his chest, fisting the white shirt he had on. With soft exasperated sighs in between each motion of your lips, Yunho dipped his hands down from your waist and around to your ass, grabbing almost all of you with both of his massive palms. You chuckled softly against him and he did the same.
Then you heard a clunking sound. Something similar to a chime. The door. A Lock. Keys. Oh God. Jamie. Sheâs home. The cute moment was ruined by the two of you scrambling to look as unsuspecting as possible.
âIâm baaaaaaaack!â Jamie sang out in an awful tune, sending goosebumps across your arms. Eerie.
You cleared your throat and continued cooking your lunch. Yunho acted as if he was rummaging the cabinets for snacks as your best friend came galloping into the kitchen.
âOh, youâre here. Why?â Her words were laced with disappointment and you knew she was referring to Yunho.
âOuch. Why did you say it like that? Am I not welcome?â
âYou are! Itâs just.. youâre a still man. Iâm just shocked at your presence.â Jamie said. âAnyway! I come bearing giftsss!â
âWhatâd you get me?â Yunho asked, suggestively.
âHopefully out of my house soon.â Jamie bit back.
You chortled, but tried to hide it when you felt Yunho staring daggers into the back of your head. You quickly finished cutting up the meat and added it to the broth to simmer, placing the lid overtop and turning to Jamie finally.
âYou went shopping?â You asked her curious about what she brought.
âOf course I went shopping! You know what tonight is.â She sounded more ecstatic about it then you thought she would.
âOhhh about that.â Yunho scratches the back of his head nervously. âI donât think sheâs going.â
âWHAT?â Jamie exclaims, looking expectantly between the two of you for an answer. âWhy isnât she going? Why arenât you going? Are you sick? Pregnant?â
âPregnant??â You questioned.
âPregnant?!â Yunho also questioned, seemingly more shocked that it could even be an option. The two of you nervously looked at each other.
âIâm asking you!â
You waved her off. âNo! God no. Veronica.â
âOh.â Jamie untensed and set down the bags she brought in down onto the chairs in front of her. âThat bitch. I forgot about her.â
âExactly my point. I canât be trusted around her.â You tried to plead to Jamie, hoping that she would understand.
âGood, you won't be around her. Youâll be around us. Youâre going. Iâm not letting that skank control your life anymore.â
âShe doesnât!â
âIf you wont go somewhere because of someone they control your life. Look, I know you hate her. Hell, I hate her too for what she did to you but I canât let you stay cooped up in the house all the time just because thereâs a possibility that you might run into her again. Tonight will be fine, I promise.â
You appreciated Jamie for trying to be such an assuring force in your life amongst all the uncertainty surrounding you. She had a knack for pushing you out of your comfort level, and then it may appear to be forceful to some. Jamie never did anything unless it was with love.
âHey, we wonât let anything happen tonight. Iâll even stay on Veronica watch if itâll make you more comfortable.â Yunho piped up, leaning against the counter as he delved into whatever odd snack he actually managed to find in the cabinets.
âWeâll take care of you. Itâll be fine. Plus, I also spent $100 on buying a dress for you and itâs really freaking cute so if you donât put it on, I will. But Iâd rather see you in it.â Jamie picked up one of the fancy looking shopping bags, with a designer brand you had never heard of, and held it out to you expectantly.
You looked between Yunho and Jamie and their happy and hopeful stares caused you to cave instantly. âFine⌠Iâll go.â
ęłěíë¤
This was the worst decision you ever made. Why were you here? The fabric from your dress was tightening around you with every movement you made, making the long leg slit that was cut into it ride a little further up your thigh than you were hoping it would. The heels you wore were comfortable, but you only wore these things on occasion and still werenât the best at walking in them especially for long periods of time. And these company dinners are always long.
Yunho was the first to get out of the car, and in a gentlemanly manner he walked around to your side and opened the door.
âMy lady.â He bowed before you and offered you his hand to help you out. The gesture brightened your smile and you accepted, feeling much like a princess on the way to a ball.
He assisted Jamie out as well and tossed the keys to the valet who dutifully took his car for him.
The place was flooded with people. Rich people mainly, stepping out of luxury cars and limousines. Almost all of them had a partner that they would ascend the stairs withâ some were older men in their sixties with women possibly in their early thirties . Gross. You thought to yourself, but who were you to judge? Although, you were.
You looked to Jamie who was just more excited to go in as anybody else. Her dress was black, strapless and shimmery compared to your steel gray silk. Her hair was curled like a supermodel from the 1950âs, falling over the bareness of her shoulder more on one side than the other. Your hair was in coils, falling down the length of your back. Yunho wore a black tuxedo as well, complimenting the both of you, but his collar was slightly undone without a tie and opened up a V down to his chest where the only thing you could see was a gold chain that he wore fitted around his collarbone. He stepped in between the both you and Jamie and extended his winged arm on both sides for the two of you to take, which you did.
âHow does it feel being my dates for tonight?â He chimed, sounding just as much of a man as he had always been. You rolled your eyes, and Jamie physically hurled.
âIs it too late to ask the valet to bring the car back?â Jamie mused.
âConsidering that Iâm your ride for the night. I would have left the sly comments at the apartment.â Jamie laughed at Yunhoâs words and you did too, feeling more loose and less anxious than you did moments before when you stepped out of the car.
The three of you walked up the stairs together, arm in arm, following the rest of the crowd into the party. You felt a tug on your arm and suddenly a Yunho parked right beside your ear. You stiffened immediately.
âYou look beautiful, by the way.â He whispered.
His compliment made you hot under the collar, if you had one to get hot under, sending a spark up your spine. You cleared your throat and smiled up at the giant figure beside you. âYou look handsome yourself. You clean up nice.â
âI try my best. If I would have known you would be looking like this tonight, I would have tried harder.â
Yunho chooses the worst times to flirt with you. Around all of these people and Jamie being right there, you grew more and more flustered as the conversation went on. He escorted you successfully into the partyâ giving you a full view of the large dining hall. Not only was it the biggest hall you had ever seen, it was also a ballroom. Tables surrounded the extremely glossy floor that was covered with a sea of people engaged in conversation. Chatter and obtuse laughter filled your ears, but it was so hard to focus on one conversation with how many people it was. Servers walked through the crowd with refreshments and offered the three of you one upon entry. You all took it and thanked him.
âIâm going to go mingle a bit and see if I can find the guys. Donât have too much fun without me.â Yunho said, pulling himself free from the two of you, he slipped into the crowd but not without rubbing the back of his hand across your backside.
Yunho would be the death of you.
You and Jamie were left to your own devices now and there was no way you were going anywhere without her. You didnât know anybody here except her and Yunho, so you latched yourself to her side.
âOh! Oh, thatâs the chairman I was talking to you about right there. Come on.â She motioned off to a group of people standing in a circle, laughing about something amongst each other. She pointed to an older guy, stout, but still kind of handsome? His hair was going gray, but still had streaks of black in it and he was dressed to the nines in a bright white suit. Bold.
Jamie clasped her arm around yours and dragged you over to his direction. She called out to the chairman who recognized his name, and Jamie bowed politely to greet him. He seemingly knew her very well because he greeted her by name, welcoming the two of you into the conversation. Jamie introduced you to him and you bowed as well, bowing to the others who you were amongst since they also looked like important people but you only stood there awkwardly. You had no idea what they were discussing, so you were there as moral support for Jamie.
Instead you looked out at the rest of the crowd and all of the different people in it. It was fascinating how many rich people were all in one roomâ hell you didnât know this many of them existed. The ballroom itself was currently the most powerful place on earth. There were old men, young men, young women, old women. So many different types of people dressed in their best. You wondered where Yunho was and wanted to see if you could find him, but he was nowhere to be seen. He must have found his friends. Your curiosity got the best of you so you stared for a little longer to see if you saw them by chance. And you did, knowing that they were the only people in here with those hair colors. Most of them had their backs to you, so you could only tell based on that alone, who was who. Seonghwa with his black hair was standing beside Wooyoung and Maddox, who you had only met once or twice, Yeosang with his dark hair on the other side of him, and Hongjoong with his light brown was next to Jongho who stood in the middle of Mingi andâŚ
Silence fell over you. You couldnât take your eyes off of them. Off of him. No Yunho in sightz Only San. Veronica. Together. You didnât realize how long you had to be looking at him because by some miracle he noticed that someone was staring straight into the side of his head. He suddenly turned and looked directly at you. His shock was just as apparent as yours, and you lost your footing for a second, stumbling into Jamie who was beside you. The chairman and the others turned to you with concern.
âWhoa, Are you okay?â Jamie asked, gripping your arms to hold you upright. âWhat happened?â
âI-Iâ You stammered.
Jamie cleared her throat and bowed to the Chairman. âExcuse us for a moment.â
She took you out of the circle and placed a hand on your shoulder. âWhatâs going on? Are your shoes hurting you? Are you hungry? Thirsty? You feel cold.â
âHeâs here.â You said softly to her.
âWho?â
âSan.â You said through gritted teeth, looking around, hoping not to conjure him up around you.
âWHAT?â Her voice elevated among the crowd and a few people turned to look. âWhat? Heâs here. Why the fuck is he here?â
âHeâs with Veronica and the others.â
âOh that son of a bitch. Heâs got some nerve. Where is Yunho? Is he with him?â
âI didnât see him. I think I need a drink.â
âYou need more than that. Come on.â Jamie grabbed your hand and weaved through the crowd that was gathering.
You followed her, not knowing where you were going in the slightest. Once you made it through the wave of bodies, you were pulled up to the large bar top.
âWhat can I get you ladies tonight?â The bartender asked, whilst cleaning out a glass with a rag.
âThe strongest thing you have.â You said with no resistance.
âComing right up.â The bartender immediately got to work, fishing out a few bottles from the shelves behind him and started pouring and mixing, taking orders from the other customers who walked up as well.
In a matter of minutes, he placed two orange colored glasses down to you and Jamie , sticking a lime in each slit of the glass. You thanked him and immediately drank it.
âIâm so sorry. I had no idea he would be here. I even looked at the guest list. That's how I knew Veronica would be here.â Jamie explained. âThis is my fault. I should have let you stay home.â
You separated from the glass and leaned against the counter, putting all of your weight on your hands. âItâs not your fault Jamie. I just- I just need a second.â
âOkay. OkayâŚum. Do you want to leave?â She asked, placing a calming hand on your arm. âI donât want to risk you two running into each other.â
Downing what remained of your drink, you let the liquor burn a stream of worry down your throat. You grimaced from the pain, but took it, sucking in a vat of fresh air to cool your lungs again.
âYeah. I think I should go. Iâll go find Yunho.â you insisted, waving off Jamie from taking on anymore hassle.
âAlright, Iâll be waiting here and we can leave. Just scream if you need me. Well- donât actually, but just call me.â She nodded to you half-heartedly. You had a feeling she was itching to follow you, but you didnât need her to babysit you.
Seeing San was not what you had expected to happen tonight, but who were you kidding? Of course he would be wherever his friends were, they were inseparable. You just assumed that you would not have been there to even know it in the first place.
You slammed your drink back down on the bar top and gathered your clutch purse and your phone. Returning a reassuring nod to a very visibly anxious Jamie and wandered off into the thicket of the dinner crowd. You maneuvered through countless bodies, searching for a remnant of your friend. There was nothing really differentiating him from the other patrons despite his long blonde mullet in a sea of pepper-gray hairs so you looked out for that. You peeked through conversations, from behind the backs of stockholders and possible CEOs in the hopes that one of them would be Yunho who magically disappeared.
You wandering about so curiously earned you some concerned glares from the partygoers, but you gave them a soft smile in the hopes to ease their tension from seeing you so confused and distraught.
Where is he? The ballroom was large and there were so many people, you could be searching for him forever, but time was of the essence and you needed to find him so you could get out of dodge as soon as possible. The last thing you needed was to run into San or, equally, Veronica again tonight. Youâve had your fill of both of them for a lifetime even if it was for five seconds. A few minutes went by and you had searched a good sum of the ballroom floor, but there was still no sign of Yunho anywhere.
He wasnât answering your texts or your phone calls, which was weird because he always answered no matter what. Where could he be that has him caught up? You looked around and thought for a moment and then it hit you. Standing on the tips of your heels, you looked around at the looming walls above the party hoping to find some kind of sign that pointed to the direction of the nearest bathrooms. Your eyes latched onto a black sign pointed towards a dark hallway that would lead you exactly where you wanted to go.
Quickly, you dashed that way, calling your pardons and excuses to the people you plowed through and or pushed by. There were people coming out of the darkness of the hallway, some men, some women who had just seemingly handled their business. None of who were yunho who you were hoping for. So you tread further. The hall was dimly lit by a few candelabras attached to the wall, giving it a soft yellow glow. Thanks to the light, you finally managed to locate the restrooms decorated with their set signs to let you know which was which.
Then, the door to the menâs bathroom flew open with a screech. Happiness filled your features. You waited for the moments that the striking, tall blonde would appear in front of you and crack a joke about how he drank too much and didnât realize it.
âYunh-â You called out, hopeful.
But your hope was misplaced because as soon as the door opened and the man stepped out into view, you were met with black. Not blonde like Yunho was.
Your happy appearance fell. You locked eyes and both stood there awkwardly yet again. San. Of course it was San. Why wouldnât it be San? You cursed the gods at the moment in your head.
All you could think about at that moment was escape. You needed to get away from him, you could turn around and get lost in the crowd, return to Jamie and tell her that you both lost your ride and couldnât find him anywhere, but San was fast enough that he could catch you before you even managed to think about leaving.
So you had only one other option to make it look less suspicious. Your eyes left his and flickered over to the womenâs restroom.
San called out your name, but his voice was lost to you as you charged through the door and let it shut him out.
There was no way he was going to come in here, anybody could walk in or walk out in a momentâs notice. Heâll have to leave or wait for you to come out and there was no way that you were doing that with him still here. Due to the lack of movement in any of the stalls, you assumed you were alone, so you walked over to the sinks and set down your purse, going back to your recent call logs and ringing Yunho again. You put the phone to your ear and paced against the polished tile floor.
âPick up, pick up, pick up.â You repeated, wishing it was the magic words to make him reappear.
The phone rang and rang and rang. No answer.
âGod dammit, Yunho.â You cursed and hung up the phone.
The bathroom door suddenly pushed open. You thought nothing of it, but silenced yourself to not disturb whatever woman was coming to do her business.
âSo, you and Yunho are a thing now?â
Your heart slid from its position in your chest and down into the pits of your stomach. You quickly glanced up to see Choi San standing before you with his back perched against the door. In the womenâs bathroom. He seriously came in here? Is he fucking insane?
He was simultaneously blocking you in and keeping whatever potential savior there was for you outside.
âWhat the fuck- you need to leave.â You commanded.
âYou didnât answer my question.â
âI donât have to answer you. The door is right there. Leave.â You pointed towards the exit again, but he didnât budge.
âAre you together? Fucking? What is it?â He asked again, this time moving off of the door and taking a few steps towards you. He was working the last nerve you were willing to give him right now.
âWhy does it matter to you anyway?!â You bit back, your voice echoing through the emptiness of the restroom. âYou know what? Fuck this, Iâll leave.â
You grabbed your things and tucked them under your arm, heading right for him. You put your hand on the door handle and pulled it open slightly, but San slammed his palm against it and closed it on you again.
âIt matters because heâs my best friend. And he wouldnât give me an answer, so Iâm asking you.â
You laughed. You didnât mean to, but you found the irony in his statement too funny to pass up the opportunity. âIâm sorry, thatâs just really rich coming from you, San, considering you fucked my friend behind my back.â
âAnd you fucked mine. So, that makes us even.â
âNot even close. Yes, I had sex with Yunho, but I didnât fuck him behind your back. You lost all my loyalty, when you chose Veronica over me. Thatâs on you.â
He huffed, staring down at you with those piercing brown eyes. Now that you could see him up close, his once baby-faced features were replaced with a stoic disposition. His brows were thicker and sharp making them more prone to furrow. His jawline was sharp and tense from how he was gritting his teeth, seemingly trying to hold back whatever words were about to come out of his mouth.
âLook..â San spoke your name so gently that it threw you off guard. His eyes softened and he looked upon you with no awkwardness or fear. He looked.. genuine. For the first time in forever.
But you couldnât bring yourself to hear whatever it is he had to say to you. âSave it, San. Please.. save it. I donât want to hear whatever excuse you cooked up in the last four years, or rehearsed to say to me whenever we saw each other again. I donât.â
âYouâre right. Iâm sorry.â
Iâm sorry? Thatâs⌠not what you expected. You didnât have a snarky comeback for that one, it completely threw you for a loop. He doesnât apologize for anything. Why is he apologizing to you now?
âI fucked up. I know and I realize that, even if it was too late when I did. I had already lost you at that point, I just didnât know how to fix it. I hurt you. What I did with Veronica was stupid and it was on me. It was no oneâs fault but mine. Iâm sorry for everything that I put you through. You can keep hating me forever if you want, thatâs your choice, but I couldnât keep going on knowing that you were the only person who ever loved me and I ruined it and never apologized.â
Each word was like a shot to your stomach. Every ounce of resolve that you had was slowly beginning to crumble before him. You turned your head away from him, staring down at the ground for a moment, folding your arms across your slightly exposed chest.
âWhy did you do it?â You asked firmly, still keeping your guard up with him. âDid you like her?â
There was a push on the door that startled you both and then a knock. You looked at one another in a panic and motioned to San to handle it since he was the one blocking the door.
San didnât say a word and neither did you. He just kept a steady pressure on the door as they tried to get it open, until they only assumed that the door was jammed. There were a few disgruntled noises outside the door and then they walked off, leaving the two of you alone again.
âTo answer your question. No, I didnât like her. I didnât love herâI didnât feel anything for her that was remotely close to what I felt for you. I donât know why I did it���it just happened. We were with friends and we were hanging out, we talked a bit, I guess a bit too much. Next thing I know, we kissed and well.. the rest was history.â
âAnd tonight? Did you come with her?â
He scoffed. âNo. Iâm not stupid.â
âWell?â You sang.
San glared at you.
âSorry, it was too easy.â You shrugged. âGo on.â
He rolled his eyes. âWell, I did come with her, but I didnât technically come with her. She just needed a ride, Seonghwa and I gave her one. I cut it off with her a few weeks after weâŚâ He motioned between the two of you. âYou know. She was already on to the next by then and we havenât seen each other much since, until now.â
You nodded your head, feeling somewhat lighter now that he told you. âI see. Well, uhm. About Yunho and I..â
San stopped you before you could start. âYou donât have to explain to me. Letâs just say that it just happened.â
You nodded. âYeah, it just happened.â
There was a mutual understanding in those words. Though you and Yunho had a deeper connection than what San and Veronica had, it was merely an understanding of position. You didnât forgive him for what he did and San was probably livid deep down and probably couldnât forgive you either, but the anger that was there from before was subsiding.
The two of you stood in silence for a moment before you spoke. âI- thank you for that, San. It was nice of you to apologize, but I have to go.â
You tried to open the door again, but instead of slamming it shut on you like he did last time, he grabbed you by your hand and held it in his. You whipped around to look at him and were met with the most heartfelt look you had ever seen him wear.
âDid you know that Iâve thought about you everyday for the last four years? I couldnât get you out of my head for the life of me.â
âSan-â
âNo. Itâs always been you. Everything has always been you. I canât go to sleep at night without seeing your face. When I laugh, I think about yours. When someone smiles at me, I think about how yours was always brighter.â
âSan stop.â You begged. You wanted to pull your hand from his, but for some reason you just couldnât move. You had to get to Yunho. You needed to find himâ you needed to leave. Why canât you leave?
âDo you know what that feels like?â His hand tightened around yours. âItâs agony.â
âWhy are you telling me this?â His grip only tightened.
âI meant what I said back then. I just should have said it sooner. I love you. I never stopped loving you and seeing you tonight only confirmed it. And if you donât feel anything for me at all, we can free each other from this fucked up game right now. Iâll get out of your life for good.â
You stood there like an inanimate object. Not knowing what to say or what to do. You had felt everything that he was feeling ten times over and then some. Of course you thought about him in the past. You had thought about him living a life without you more than once. You thought about him every second of the day. The two of you were tethered by a string of damnationâyou two were messy and you knew it, but you always thought that there was a possibility that you could work. Maybe he could love you the way you loved him. Maybe you could love him again. Maybe.. You wished maybe was a guarantee.
You wiggled your hand free from his grasp. San looked at you obviously distraught by the way the light in his eyes suddenly faded. You dropped everything that you were carrying in your arms as your phone and purse went clattering to the bathroom floor. Your hands moved faster than your brain ever could. You reached out to San, clasping both of your hands against his face and pulled him into you, lips crashing into a fiery slope of passion as he wrapped his arms around your backside like it was second nature to him. His build was much wider now and you felt incredibly small in his grasp, but San held you with every intent not to let go of you again.
As the kiss grew deeper, San careened his hands across your body, feeling the very places that he had been missing for the last few years. He worked your frame like he was trying to remember what spots connected to what, which ones were your favorites to be touched nowadaysâ he was trying to figure what kind of person you were now in just a matter of seconds.
Removing your hands from his chiseled features, you found new purchase on his suit jacket, which you tore off immediately, pulling the expensive fabric over his muscles. San pressed you against the door, letting your back meet the cool, polished wood; a single hand wrapped around your neck while an extended tongue flicked across your bottom lip, nonverbally asking for entrance, which you granted him with no hesitation. He slid his tongue between your parted lips and into your mouth, swirling his own instrument around yours. The kiss turned frantic, more hungry and needy. You moaned into his mouth, fingering the strands of his slightly long black hair while he simultaneously shifted the leg slit on your dress to the side, gripped the back of your thigh and pulled it to wrap around his slim waist.
This somehow brought the two of you even closer than you were already. He fell into you perfectly like a missing puzzle piece. You could feel his growing erection between your thighs each time he ground into you. The two of you were a bumbling mess of hormones and unsatiated emotions. San broke the kiss, using the same hand that was wrapped around your throat to tilt your head to the side. He attacked your neck like a predator, and you let him. His mouth was warm and wet and your body reacted almost instantly. You could feel the temperature rise inside your body. San continues his performance, lapping up the skin on your neck like it was refreshing to him, his kisses led down to your collarbone, your breasts. Unfortunately with the minimal time you had as well as the fabric of your dress covering the rest of you, San was limited in the love he wanted to show to your body, but that did not deter him.
Falling to his knees before you, he took the very thigh that he had wrapped around him and began to pepper it with kisses as well. Your hand was caught in his hair as you guided him, your mouth agape at the sight. You watch San with intention, as he kisses further and further up your thigh, inching the silver silk out of his way. You stuck your teeth into your bottom lip and smiled naughtily. San pulled his sharp gaze to you, and you could feel a gush between your legs. Why did he have to look at you like that? Your immediate reaction to this excited him and he continued onward in a devilish manner. Using both of his hands, he caressed your legs admiring you in all of your glory and fiddled underneath your dress, finding a latch on your panties and tugging them downwards to your ankles leaving you completely exposed.
San repositions himself as well as you. He places your leg just over his shoulder now, giving him a full view of your womanhood that was now glistening with your moisture. San licks his lips, practically salivating and grumbles with satisfaction even when he didnât have a taste of you yet.
âGod, I miss the way you taste. I think I need to remind myself again.â He said sweetly before moving forward against you.
Your breath caught in your throat once his lips connected with the sensitive hood of your clit. It was a small kiss to it, but it had so much power as well. You closed your eyes and rested your head against the doorframe, moaning softly into the air while San worked his magic. You still played with his hair offering some encouragement to continue even though you could not speak very clearly without a moan following soon after. San flushed his mouth against your pussy, you could see the lust swimming in his eyes as he stared at you the entire time.
âYouâre already dripping for me. Good.â
He widened the part in your lips to give him enough room to slither his tongue inside, invading you, but of course you did not mind. It felt good already, you almost couldnât believe it.
âFuck..â you groaned to yourself, putting your eyes back on the beautiful man that was between your thighs.
His tongue prodded at your insides, slurping and sloshing about your velvety walls and sipping on the honey-like thickness of your juices. Every lick sent you further into the depths, you couldnât control your moans. You almost felt too loud, but you couldnât stop. And by the look in his eye, you almost felt like that was what he wanted. San continued to suck and kiss along the flaps of your portions , savoring every ounce of your flavor.
San separated from you for a split moment, leaving a string of his saliva as well as your wetness which his mouth was completely drenched in, and smiled at you deviously. âDamn, you taste so good.â
You could feel the rope that was holding your senses together slowly begin to unwind itself. You were too sensitive for your own liking sometimes and San knew that much about you. It didnât take much for you to cave and now was no different. The way he was eating you out was almost too much to bear, but you didnât want him to stop. You were just getting started.
San followed a figure eight movement on your clit, but moved his tongue like an expert inside of you, never leaving a single part of your pussy untouched. Your moans got louder and louder, you grabbed a handful of his hair and pressed him deeper into your temple. Your hips worked against his mouth and he invited it, digging his nails into your hips and pulling you closer to him. You whimpered, sounding more desperate than you had hoped to. With the way you were grinding on him, you were practically riding his nose at this pointâ each buck getting more uncontrollable than the last. Sanâs satisfied groans vibrated against your clit and you were even closer to losing it now. And he knew it.
San put more pressure on your clit using his free hand, massaging it in light circles with his thumb while he ate you out. You were getting attacked from all angles and you couldnât handle it anymore. You let out a blood curdling yelp, followed by sharp moans and heavy breathing â releasing all of your pent up aggression onto his mouth. You twitched in place and tried to find some grip on the wall beside you to right yourself but there was nothing to hold you other than him. San lapped up your climax, and planted a kiss on your pussy before coming to meet you again. He didnât give you a second to think as he kissed you. This time more direct and with intent. You could taste yourself on his lips. It was sweet and sticky.
âHow bad do you want me to fuck you?â He asked lowly between kisses.
You were in a state of delirium, but you responded coherently. âReally fucking bad. I just want to feel you right now.â
âGood. Take it out.â He commanded.
You didnât hesitate much to do so. You lurched forward, hooking one finger inside of his dress pants and pulled him closer to you. You undid his belt without issue, and his button followed, giving you free access to what you wanted the most. Your eyes were locked on San as you did this and he watched you with joy evident on his features. You swiftly pulled down his pants along with his boxers in the same fashion he did your panties, the belt hit the ground with a clanging noise leaving San exposed to you. He was just as big as you remembered him being if not bigger. It frightened you almost the way it stood massively at attention, twitching with eagerness. A smirk found his features, his tongue ran smoothly across his K-9âs and you had a feeling that you were in for a treat.
San pressed you flat against the door again, closing the space between you with his body. He kissed your lips again, and then your cheek and hummed lightly against your skin. âI canât wait to see how pretty you look while I make you cum.â
San wrapped his hand around his hard-on, glancing down as he rubbed himself against your warmth, letting out a low rumble in his throat from the sensation. You soft groans mixed with his as the adrenaline pumped through your veins, filling the next few moments with anticipation. He pressed his tip against your opening, and slowly pushed himself inside of youâ filling that space that he left empty. Your mouth fell agape at the shock of his size, it felt like he was stretching you out completely just to adjust to his size.
He started moving inside of you slowly at first, helping you to get used to him. âI got you baby just keep taking it, youâre doing so good.â
âYouâre so fucking big..â you huffed out, holding onto Sanâs wide shoulders as he dug you out.
His pace quickened slightly, he wrapped your leg around him again, angling himself to hit you in just the right spot while he bounced you on his dick. His thrusts were powerful, but cohesive. His hips had a flow to them that made it feel like he was fucking you in waves.
âYeah, you feel good wrapped around my dick. You take me so well.â He complimented, lurching into you at a speed that you were trying to keep up with. His hand was still wrapped around your neck, squeezing the air from your lungs. The pressure was comfortable, but just enough to heighten every sensation. You held onto his arm, scratching at his skin.
Still sopping wet from the last climax you had, the sounds of skin on skin contact along with the constant sloshing of your insides, was the perfect storm for the both of you. San gripped your thigh tightly, hiding his face in the thick of your neck as he roared loudly from the pressure building up against you.
âOh San, Right there!â You coached, holding him close to you as he fucked you. Your nails clawed at the fabric on his shirt so harshly you thought that you would pierce it. The remnants of your sexual encounter were running down between your legs and you were almost at your limit. âOh fuck, Iâm going to cum.â
âCum for me.â He stammered. âGod, youâre so wet.â
His dick pumps into you at a pace no man should reach, making you cry out for him in pleasure. You grip tightly onto his backside, struggling to keep yourself upright while he fucked you senseless to the point you lost your balance. If it werenât for his strength, there was no way you were standing up on your own.
San was committed to making you cum first, but he becomes sloppy the closer he gets, but he doesnât stop. âCum for me babygirl,â he demands, âCum for me..!â
And like a dog with a whistle, you obeyed his command and came. Your orgasm smacked you like a ton of bricks, and everything came rushing out of you all at once with no forgiveness. San followed suit with your flow, hearing the beauty of your moans and bursted inside of you. His pants were ragged, and his grunts were deep and gravely. The two of you tried to catch your breath, but the air escaped you. The two of you stood sweaty and stuck together with your juices intermingling inside of you. You were high off of all the sensations. It took you more than a second to come down off it. San collapsed into you and you did the same.
âThat felt good..â He said into your skin.
You stared blankly up at the ceiling, admiring the intricate designs of old Renaissance paintings that you had never noticed until now. Your vision began to come back to you, and you were welcomed to reality once more. And the realization hit you.
âYeah..â You responded shortly.
San pulled out of you and collided with the door beside you. sweat beading off his brow.
âAbout what you said earlier. About me feeling something for you?â You turned your head to look at him.
He glanced back at you with a wandering look, but still curious as to what you were going to say. âYeah?â
âI still feel something for you, San. Iâd be lying if I said I didnât, butâŚâ You paced yourself, swallowing your own spit to lubricate your throat as you said the words. âAfter everything we've been through, I donât think I can love you..â
âWhy not? You said you felt something right?â
âI do,â You paused for a moment trying your best to find the words to say it, but you took a deep breath and finally let it out.
âIâŚI think I fell in love with Yunho.â
TO BE CONTINUED IN
âLOUDER THAN BOMBSâ

AITA for wearing a flimsy shirt and flashing my husband's friends?
Ok. So the key players here are. Me (25F), my husband (27M) and our friends who are all around our ages.
I run a D&D game on sunday evenings for my husband and 4 of our shared friends. 2 of them are big dudes and 2 are women, but we live in a basement suite and having 6 people in it makes it heat up fast. This is on an average day.
Recently, our landlord got our heating fixed. We didn't realize it was broken and blamed the cold in the suite on it being a basement. When it's just us it got pretty chilly in there pre-fixing. After the furnace was fixed, our landlord (who lives in the upstairs suite) absolutely cranked the heat to compensate for a recent week-long cold snap in our area.
As a result, it's been sweltering hot in our suite (like, i've been wearing a tank top and underwear as my at home loungewear because anything more is torture). I anticipated the high heat being a problem before the gang came over this past Sunday, but I knew I had to wear pants bc obvs. I decided i'd wear a loose flowy tank top though, just so i didnt absolutely die from the heat.
Here comes the problem. We play DND on our admittedly low to the ground coffee table. As i bent over to set up a map, my shirt fell a little too far and revealed too much. I didnt notice when it was happening until my husband pointed it out by making a joke about it. I was like "oops" and took greater care to crouch instead of bend over for the rest of the session, so as not to accidentally flash anybody again. I didnt think anything else of it and nobody said anything.
The next day, my husband was quiet and not really engaging with me, and I thought he was just tired because he gets like that when he's tired. I went to work. About 5 hours into the work day, i get a text from him saying "Just so you know, and I know I have voiced how I feel about this before, but you flashing my friends is a MAJOR turn off for me"
I was confused at first, but then realized he was referring to the accidental flashing on Sunday night. But it wasnt just his friends, it was mine too, and it wasn't on purpose. Like i wasnt doing it for kink or anything. I also am bothered by him implying i've done this before, as I dont remember ever doing something like that. Before anyone asks, I have body dysmorphia and deeply hate my appearance so it doesnt make sense to me that I would have flashed people before and just forgotten.
But im autistic so i sometimes dont know limits for appropriate behaviour. Which is why im asking AITA for wearing a flowy tank top in our very warm house and accidentally flashing people when i bent over?
What are these acronyms?

The Sacrifice of Souls, Part 2
alt title: why im putting corentin in the torment nexus
this is the second instalment of a 2-part essay series. the first part focused on the events of emmrich's quests, as well as my analysis and critique of his quest line overall. this part will focus specifically on the effects these choices have on the romance, as well as my thoughts on how i'm handling the events for my emmrichmancing rook, corentin.
spoilers ahead! beware that both essays are going to assume you have completed The Sacrifice of Souls and at least one of the follow up quests, Heir to the Dead or Will and Testament. if you have not, i suggest returning to this later and playing it out yourself.
so let's start with the most important question of the day:
what happens to the romance after the sacrifice of souls?
good news! no matter what you pick, the romance can continue on unabated. there's just some long-term details and tone changes that need to be considered.
if you choose to save manfred, be prepared for parenthood. previously, the game had poked at the idea of manfred being emmrich's kid, but now that manfred is talking and progressing at a rapid pace, he is in full "magic-flinging skeleton son" territory, and a romanced rook is going on that journey with emmrich. there is also now a near certainty that rook is going to outlive himâregardless of your personal headcanons, the game assumes that rook is younger than emmrich, and now that he's locked into a mortal lifespan that's something that needs to be considered. especially since, as discussed in part one, emmrich's fears of his own mortality haven't really been addressed at all.
but if you're into co-parenting a rambunctious skeleton with an older, gentlemanly necromancer (which, let's be real, is what most people signed up for when they hit those first flirt options anyway), then this path is probably exactly what you were looking for.
that said, let's talk about the lich romance angle. i was worried when i went down this path that the romance would just immediately end, but it actually doesn't! emmrich certainly wonders if it willâbefore he undergoes his rites, he has a conversation with rook about how they'll navigate a relationship once he's undead. he says that his senses will change, the way he feels (not about rook, but literally the way he feels) will change, and his body will be different. but they agree they can make it work, so hell yeah.
and if you like the whole "immortal lover" trope, there's some stuff here to like. the lich lords, when you arrive to bear witness to the rites, refer to rook as "challenger of the gods, volkarin's beloved", and emmrich waxes poetic about how even after rook passes, the way he feels about them will be immortalized alongside him. there's also a very sweet kiss before he goes into the rite, and rook has the opportunity to tell him they love him, just in case he doesn't come back out. and afterwards, they have a powerful, immortal skeleton boyfriend, so for the monsterfuckers in the audience.... nice.
so what's the catch?
if you're looking for a fairly unambiguously "happy ending", and if you like the idea of your rook parenting for the foreseeable future, saving manfred is your easy option. on this path, rook and emmrich will have many good years together before he dies. there's absolutely still room for angst here because of emmrich's unresolved issues, but there's definitely a more... domestic, low-key quality to this path.
the lich romance has some pretty glaring obstacles, and that's probably a big part of why a lot of people doing the romance might not pick this. first of all, he wasn't joking, he's literally a skeleton. he can put on a glamour for polite company, but he is a skeleton. realistically, intimacy is going to be complicated by that. on top of that, as a lich for the mourn watch, he's going to have certain duties that he can't get away from. myrna herself asks if they're going to be seeing less of emmrich now that he's a lich, and his answer is basically not yet. at some point, some time in the future, he is going to have to go into the necropolis to begin his lich duties and he won't really be coming back out after. so in a very real way, there is an invisible timer on the relationship where it'll basically be dead in the water unless rook makes some serious lifestyle changes* to accommodate that (assuming they're allowed to). so there's some built in angst with the lich romance that may or may not be your preferred flavour, because his job might end their relationship long before rook's mortal lifespan even becomes a consideration.
*theoretically a mourn watcher rook is going to have an easier time with that particular adjustment, but i'm speaking from my perspective as a LoF rook
decisions, decisions
this is the part where i start talking about my rook, but do us both a favour and keep reading, because believe it or not there is still some emmrich analysis in this part, and it might inspire you to do your own dissection for your rook, too.
so my rook is corentin laidir, and from the moment emmrich said the word "lich" he's been quietly freaking out about it. largely because of the whole "you're going to leave me to be a lich in the necropolis" thing.
i had hoped that resolving emmrich's quest line would give me a very clean solution to the lich freak out issue, and it does! ....if i liked the ending where we save manfred. which i don't. controversial opinion, but i don't actually care about manfred enough for corentin to be his second dad, and from a roleplay perspective i don't think corentin would advocate for bringing manfred back.
but on the other hand, the lich!emmrich option is quite literally corentin's nightmare. what corentin wants, at his core, is for emmrich to accept both manfred's death and his own, whenever it may come. he wants emmrich to understand that running from his own fear of death like that is beneath him. is it honouring death to defy it like that, even (supposedly) in the name of service? corentin would argue no, if he could bring himself to argue with emmrich about anything.
selfishly, corentin is also afraid of what eternity means. sure, emmrich says now that he'll always remember corentin and what they have, but what about a thousand years from now? he's afraid of being replaced, and of becoming insignificant to someone who is so, so important to him right now. in this life.
so the question becomes: do i choose an imperfect, happier ending that maintains emmrich's mortality, or do i throw corentin into an emotional blender?
why i'm putting corentin in the torment nexus
one of the problems of being a creatively-minded person while playing decision-based games is that there comes a time when you have to make a choice:
do i work with the options available to me, or do i pull out my scalpel and gut this thing?
and in moments like this, where neither option is quite right, i have no choice but to get surgical. pick what's interesting, and frankenstein that thing into something that works well enough to carry me to the end.
and the fact of the matter is, the lich path is just more interesting to me in this case because it's an angst machine, and because it makes sense for him to get stuck in it. if i dig into corentin's character, in that exact moment when a decision is made, there's no world where he's going to tell emmrich to give up on his life's work just to bring manfred back and stay mortal. but there is a world where he'd recognize that telling emmrich to give up on his life's work for a guy who loves him who he met five minutes ago is a dick move, and then he'd get completely caught off guard when emmrich says he's going to start preparing for his rites now.
so where does this leave corentin?
here's how i'm handling the situation for the time being, unless something comes along that completely revolutionizes how i feel about all this.
every time emmrich has talked about becoming a lich, it's always been a vague future thing with no real timeline attached. in hindsight, it's pretty clear that the only thing delaying the process was himselfâemmrich was uncertain if he was willing to risk the danger of the rites. this uncertainty, however, has left corentin with the impression that even if he was 100% sure and raring to go forward, there would be tests and preparation that needed to happen first, and there would be time before the rites could happen.
so when the question of whether or not to save manfred comes up, corentin does what any good boyfriend would and he tells emmrich that he's dedicated his life to potentially becoming a lich, and he needs to be really certain before throwing that away.
corentin is allergic to being a bummer; even when he's really struggling with something, he feels like he can't talk about it if it'll upset someone else. emmrich is desperately afraid of death, and corentin is desperately afraid of being alone, so he's gotten very good at keeping himself... palatable. so when emmrich responds to his encouragement by saying that he'll start preparing for the rites immediately? well, corentin feels locked into the supportive boyfriend schtick. he feels like he has to be unerringly supportive and not question emmrich's decision, even though it is definitely something that effects him, too.
the whole time emmrich's preparing to become a lich, corentin is thumbs up "you got this babe!"-ing his way through it, all while frantically trying to squash down the feeling of impending doom. because he is 100% completely convinced the other shoe is going to drop at any moment and emmrich is going to go to the Lich Corner Store for cigarettes and never come home.
though it should be noted, the skeleton part of "skeleton boyfriend" is really the least of his concerns. it's just everything around that.
and where does this leave emmrich?
he doesn't know it, but it leaves him with a pretty miserable boyfriend. they're going to have to reckon with corentin's issues at some point.
just like they're going to have to deal with emmrich's. becoming a lich is maybe not 100% a good thing, at least not right this second. he says that he "thought he knew its price," and in keeping with that banter i linked in the first part, he seems unprepared for the reality of losing people. it feels a little like he's rushing into it headfirst before the grief can hit him full force and he can get cold feet.
i'm really curious how he's going to feel if something happens to corentin (or almost happens), and it gives him a reality check on his boyfriend's mortality. losing manfred is already unimaginably hard... is he prepared for what it's going to be like when he loses corentin?
because i don't think he's realized that he isn't, yet.

hello!!! if youâre up for this, can i request any genshin men with a reader who feels like a horrible person because of things theyâve done in the past? i have a guilt complex lmaoooooo (i say lmao but itâs agony) (PEOPLE IN THE CROWD WITH A GUILT COMPLEX PUT YOUR HANDS UPPPP)
also this is a complete side note but i think this concept would be especially interesting with wrio since heâs always in the fortress or meropide, seeing people who have done wrong everyday in the fairly normal system (by jail standards) they have down there
guilt | wriothesley x reader
OH GOD THIS HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY ASKS FOR A WHILE NOW IM SO SORRY MY NOTIFS ARE ALWAYS FILLED UP AND I DONT SEE ASKS ANYMOREEE T-T
angst w fluff at the end, soft!wrio, heâs comforting youu, gets a bit suggestive at the end, no pronouns used but reader is referred to as âmy loveâ and âprincessâ
itâs nothing to be concerned about really, if you were a criminal and probably rotting in the fortress of meropide forâ archons knows how long, you wouldâve just let your conscience be the death of you.
but you arenât! your not sitting around and laying in the fortress of doom meropide, thank the archons.
though you canât help but think if the seven are laughing at you, quite literally. your state isnât so stable as it seems..
wriothesley, your partner, had called sigewinne ages ago to check on your health status. although it was all negative, the tests, the results, the examinations, all negative.
there wasnât anything wrong with you, so why is there an aching pain in your stomach whenever your brain just relapses back to the past, the time where you had done such unforgiving sins, you couldnât even do a whole statement word for word on what you had done to those poor victims.
one of them, someone special to you. someone special that you had lost because of your own carelessness, someone you had lost because you were being selfish, someone who you wished to cherish for a lifetimeâ though fate is mocking you unfortunately.
and the pain, the inkling pain deep inside that you cant ignore, itâs annoying. itâs frustrating. itâs ⌠sad.
itâs a pity to see someone like you, a nice person who only wished to improve themselves and hope for a better future. yet it seems celestia didnât approve.
your longtime partner, wriothesley, had been worried for you. ever since you met, you were always dozing off, not focusing, you looked uncomfortable yet he couldnât pinpoint what was actually wrong.
it was starting to piss him off, really. the way you doze off when he talks to you, when you two spend time together and your too busy in your own little world to pay attention to him.
wriothesley had decided to sit you down, like what any partner would do when they encounter a misunderstanding or a mishap. communication is key after all.
he couldnât ever forget the look on your face, the day where you looked at him with such pitiful eyes and regretful ones while he just stared back at you with a stern look.
he feels pity, wriothesley feels pity. someone like him shouldnât, so what is this he feels?
âtell me whatâs been bugging you for months, [name].â wriothesley takes a deep breath, then exhales as you sat there, fidgeting with your fingers. âi didnt get the chance to ask you back then, since it was your privacy after all, hm?â he spoke firmly, his voice laced with curiosity and the tone where he just wants to know the truth.
just tell him, it wouldnât be so hard. heâs your partner after all, you have every right to tell him so. â[name], iâm doing this to help you. youâre someone extremely precious to me and i canât help myself just seeing you look so lost.â wriothesley explains, sighing deeply as he waits for your response.
how would he react? heâs the all mighty scary wriothesley after all. heâs known to have less mercy and sympathy on others. why tell? youâll just embarrass yourself, you thought to yourself.
but you couldnât. you couldnât keep a secret, especially towards him. if he was any other people, a stranger, you wouldâve kept it till the end of your life. but heâs not just a stranger.
heâs your partner, your loved one, your everything. wriothesley is someone you can trust, someone you care for. is it really worth keeping a secret from him?
you took a deep breath, letting the air get past your nostrils. âi have.. committed alot of unforgettable things in the past, someone like you wouldnât like. someone like you wouldnât appreciate.â you confessed, looking down and avoiding your belovedâs longing stare.
wriothesley looks at you, tilting his head in confusion. you? doing things that he couldnât possibly imagine? âever since iâve started to open up a new path to walk on, the guilt in my chest still pains me. itâs almost eating me whole.â you continue.
he smiles at you, not a happy smile, a faint sad smile. heâs quite joyful about how you were guilty, and not like any other person who wouldnt even feel the slightest bit of empathy to what theyâve done wrong in the past.
this is the [name] he fell inlove with. the honest, confident, firm, one. there was no denying that wriothesley was hopelessly inlove with you. and he finds it lovingly amusing.
âif you regret it, then itâs okay. you donât have to be in debt of a thing you regret on doing. if you truly feel guilt, then it just means your improving and want to be a better person my love.â he smiles, standing up and walking over to your seat, crouching before you as you were forced to look at him.
wriothesley holds your chin, going up to caress your cheeks coated with a red flush. âit may be your fault or not, but there will always be a way to fight back the sins of the past. you can get through it, i know you can.â
âyour the strong and confident lady i love after all, hm?â he says with a grin, which makes your already flustered enough face go even more red.
you smile tenderly as he continues to caress your cheek, you leaned into his touch as you hear him chuckle lowly. wriothesley stands up straight, his hand now on your head as he ruffles your soft and silky hair.
wriothesley smirks, a teasing one. which means heâs probably going to say something just to tease you and to lighten up the mood a bit. âbesides, iâm the only one whoâs allowed to eat you whole, princess.â
made by @seaadc and @seaadc only !!

GENDERBEND RAHHHHHH
i love drarry and i love women so put it together and you get this, i present to you: Harphine
Harry is consequently now named Harley; Draco is also now named Delphine (Full name Delphinus Lucius Malfoy, however asks to be referred to as Delphine because it's pretty). I decided to keep everyone else the same because the world centres around them. Delphine is the ultimate coquette girl, lana del rey wishes she could be as coquette as her. Mega popular girl and a trendsetter, one day she wears a headband to school, the next day, half the female students are as well. Extreme closet gay, internalised homophobia...
Harley on the other hand is a major tom-boy, as a toddler and young childhood she probably had a buzzcut or short hair because her hair was too much maintenance for the Dursley's. She also wore Dudley's old clothes so she was mistaken for a boy for most of her young life, she only began to grow it out when she started attending Hogwarts and got a major glow-up in third year. and now the multitude of headcanons: 1) Delphine resorts to flirting to get her way with male students, however it is only by accident does Harley discover Delphine is prudent when she flirts with her. Delphine immediately goes red, sputtering incoherently:
"MY FATHER WILL HEAR OF THIS!!!" "good, I'm glad he knows about me so it wonât be as awkward to meet him when I'm over for dinner"
Harley uses this to her advantage and begins to spread rumours about Delphine to finally get back at her for all these years 'Pure Blood Delphine Malfoy, sole heir, is a homosexual?!' It gets out of hand and Delphine's rep gets ruined or somethin
2) Harley is a bit of an artist, she likes drawing/doodling. One day she's sitting in potions class, not listening because fuck that, idly drawing on her parchment without much thought, only for her to realise that hey... this kind of looks like Delphine, and then realising she's just been drawing Delphine in various sitting poses for the past half an hour.
3) Even though Harley really hates Delphine, she has to admit, she's really fucking gorgeous, and in an odd way Harley kind of admires how put together she is. Harley does try to imitate her makeup one day because she wants to know how it feels to be pretty/put together, it turns out shite, Ron laughs at her, Harley beats him up; Delphine also laughs at her. But when they do become good friends, like fifth year or so, Delphine does do her makeup (imagine that one img of the girl on top of the other doing her eyeshadow, that's them).
3.5) Slight extension from the previous one, I mentioned this on my xwitter awhile back -- Harry purposely messes up his tie so Draco can fix it, because Draco's love language is to clean up people, i.e brushing lint off their shoulder, adjusting their collar, kind of like a cat. In this genderbent au, Harley messes up her lipstick everytime so Delphine can redo it.
4) Delphine is a massive closeted lesbian, and is pining for Harley in her own odd way. When they begin to get close, Delphine instictually reels back, because she's used to playing hard-to-get with other guys as a flirting method. She doesn't quite register that it doesn't work with girls, which leaves Harley wondering what she did wrong and why Delphine isn't as interested.
5) When they do finally get into a relationship, most likely like sixth/seventh year, it's very low-key and secretive because Delphine still has internalised homophobia/closeted. But Lucius ends up arranging her marriage because she's an only child and a female to the Malfoy name. What happens next is idk
6) Lucius either dotes on Delphine like a child who is in constant need of being helped and cannot be independent, or never speaks to her ever because he's disappointed he has a daughter.
OKAY THATS IT, I HAVE MORE HEADCANONS THAT I WILL POUR IF ENOUGH ASK FOR IT LOL... i wanna see if I can make Harphine their genderbend ship name, it's cute
also boobs bc im gay and so are they

Murder?âŚAnyone? âŚAnyone?âŚBueller?
First of all, solid title.
Secondly, im back (sort of). Lets get into it!
I LOVE this episode. I love the insight into who gus and shawn were as teenagers, i love how gus and shawn are both stuck in the past in different ways, and i love Abigail Lytar!
From the first moment we meet her, we know that she gets Shawn. She not only clocks his judd nelson pic, she also plays along with the joke and makes another obscure reference.
Abigail is the best love triangle addition in the history of television and i will die on that hill! They made her a genuine âcompetitorâ to juliet by writing her as someone almost catered to shawns personality.
Normally with love triangles, they write the âcompetitionâ as less compelling of a choice to really emphasize how the mains are end goal OR theyâll make the decision split the center characters personalities, so like one choice will be the girl next door and represents the past version of them and the other is more career focused and represents the future (think sweet home alabama, uh, 13 going on 30, romcoms in general, you get it) And to a degree, thats sort of what this is with abigail and juliet, except it doesnât split them in a way that is determined by shawn. Like, who shawn chooses doesnât impact who heâll be. The choice isnt a lesson or a determination of his character, if that makes sense. Plus, theres no caveat to Abigail. Like, sheâd be perfect for him if it wasnât for ___. None of that. Abigail and Shawn could have worked (ill go into it more in season 4 when they finally do get together).
Sidenote: i think her dynamic with both shawn and gus was really cute (which is another win in the abigail is a great love triangle addition column)
So apparently Shawns recall is so good he can do an instant replay. Idk if i should add that to his list of skills or just lump that into his existing memory power. I also love though, that its a blurry image because thats how Shawn saw it and they didnât try to make him super human and see it in high definition.
Ravi shinkar is a heck of a reference to make and an even crazier one for lassie to have seen and shawn to understand haha
There was a joke made by Gus that Shawn didnât know anything about their senior class or what happened senior year or the school, but Iâd like to point out that his parents were on the brink of a divorce and then did divorce his senior year so im guessing he was pretty distracted. This is kind of random, but im wondering when Shawn decided he wasnât going to be a cop like his dad. Like what was his tipping point. I always thought it was after his mom left because she said when she left she thought he would be okay, which to me meant that he had his path set. Now, because of how he didnt seem to care for school at all and was already off doing his own adventures (becoming part of the janitors society to get keys presumably for some reason) he was already aimless. Maddie was either delusional or Shawn lied to her? Idk im over thinking this silly cop show.
Now, the box of cop cars is not unexpected. We know who henry is. But this little bit actually tells us that Maddie never bought him other cars?? If Iâm Maddie, and my husband is training my kid to become something i must have noticed he didnât want to be because Iâm a psychologist, Iâm going to say something! Idk, maybe part of the reason they divorced was because of how henry was with Shawn, but then why would she leave him behind and think he was okay? So, i guess, i donât understand why Maddie wouldnât have pushed back. Why wouldnât she buy shawn other toy cars for him to play with to provide choices for him. There is the possibility that shawn never told her that henrys training made him miserable because they were already fighting and didnât want to give them another reason. Again, over thinking.
Some smaller notes:
-low blow for Gus to straight up tell Shawn no one had any expectations for him. Like i get heâs having a quarter life crisis or whatever, but, all the same, rude.
-that prom queen was Serinda Swan who was in a show called breakout kings with our own Mary Lightly aka Jimmi Simpson :)
-my favorite thing about carlton is that heâs a good head detective and yet has absolutely the worst instincts around. Like true south all the time.
P.S
âWhat does every great john hughes movie have? A love triangle!â Omg i just now saw what they did there and now i feel like an idiot lol
#also that picture instead of nametags idea was actually great#another example of Gus being stuck in the past wondering where he went wrong#hes so lost poor baby :(#psych#shawn and gus#shawn spencer#burton guster#Class of 95 i was 2 đĽş#but im now old enough to attend my own 13th high school reunion

Hype Train!
F! Streamer Reader x M!Yandere Streamer OC
Part 1~
His Info: đšâ¨
Part: 1 2
!!!MINORS DNI!!!
CW: lots of boring tech talk(sorry i nerd out sometimes and i wanted to show his thought process for his intro) yandere, f!reader, use of she/her when referring to reader, reader has a vagina, stalking, internet stalking, lewd comments not from ML, edit: sorry! i forgot to tag NONCON EXHIBITION!!! omg thatâs probably huge. i am so sorry!!!
He is always looking for smaller streamers to raid, to bring in his moderately sized and very active audience to someone who may often only get about 5-10 people.
Today, he picked you. Your cute little VTuber model already having captivated him. He looks up your sinsta first, and sees your selfies. You somehow look just like your tuber!
Youâre so cute.
He clicks âraid nowâ, and says to shower you in love!
As soon as the alert goes off for the raid, so does a long line of follower alerts. âWh-what?! OMG! Thank you so much!!! Welcome to my stream! how was yours? if you have to raid and run, go eat and sleep pleasantly!â
Oh goodness, you sound cute. You even cared about him without knowing him, sure he knows itâs just polite for streamers to say those things. But coming to him in your adorably sugary voice, he instantly believes you really care.
While heâs watching the swaying of your adorable little avatar on screen, heâs imagining the movements in your actual face behind the camera.
âOh my! im so sorry, uh-â Your mic picks up your ferocious typing, and your sudden shock snap him back to the moment,âI forgot to shout you out, Jasper!â
His name rolling off your tongue sounds so perfect, as if heâs been waiting to hear it that way his entire life.
He springs into action, realizing you have no mods, lithe fingers dancing across keys swiftly and with new purpose, âNo worries! Tysm for the SO!! also, i can mod for you, if you want!đâ
You beam behind your screen, âOh! i could never ask that of you! maybe if youâre here again next time!â
Of course he will be. You donât know that though.
âO-m-gee! Thank you all soooo much for the hype train!!! level 5?! iâve never even had a level three!! this is crazy!â
God youâre cute when youâre so excited.
He has your selfies from sinsta pulled up in front of him as he listens deeply to you speak.
Youâre so thankful, and so, so sweetâŚ
You must be so innocent.
Youâre at the very least naive, and heâd hate to just leave you to be eaten up by this cruel, cruel worldâŚ
He must get to you first.
Your stream ends a few hours later, his followers stayed the whole time to shower you in love.
He knows heâs got a lot of simps⌠Theyâd do anything he tells them to.
You though, youâve had the most fun streaming that youâve ever had so far! And that payout this month is really gonna help, they gave so much!
On your dipcord you see a new friend request, itâs him! You add him without a second thought, always looking for more streamer friends.
within seconds you receive a dm from him, âWant to VC?â
âSure!â you respond, full of excitement. Something in your gut roils, you feel so nervous but your excitement overrules your bodyâs initial warning.
When you shouted him out you saw his own Vtuber, and heard his melodic voice, your face warms at the thought.
He calls and you answer after long seconds that feel like minutes of deep breathing, and hyping yourself up.
âHow are you feeling, Y/Username, you had a pretty productive stream,â Jasperâs voice is even softer than in his clip, your stomach turns to a fluttering tangle of knots.
âOh! haha,â you giggle, âonly thanks to you!â
His heart melts in response.
âYou were why the viewers stayed, donât sell yourself short,â as he speaks heâs sifting through your public scocials.
He has noticed one older woman with her real name as her username that follows you on every single account. He continues down this path through the web. She has pictures with you, confirming that sheâs your mother in the descriptions. she has her state tagged on flapbook.
That narrows it down as long as you didnât move too far.
On your own socials you often have pictures of flowering trees near red bricks. And in one Selfie a street sign is reflected in your dark shadesâŚ
He floogle maps it, then goes into street veiw, thereâs a couple red brick houses, but thereâs also a red brick apartment complex right around the corner with magnolia treesâŚ
He smiles as his fingers find his lips idly zoning out slightly.
Youâre only a few hours flight away from him thereâŚ
âJasper?â Your timid voice pulls him back.
âYes, pretty,â He says in a low groan, âCan I follow your private?â
You blush fiercely, âYe-Yeah! o-of course,â youâre so glad he canât see you right now, your face completely buried in your hands.
You open your phone and go to sinstagram, he sent you a follow request and already followed your public streaming account.
You smile to yourself bashfully, tucking stray strands behind your warming ears.
He sees there are a few live cameras connected in the apartment buildings.
âHey, this is a random question, but do you have a cat cam? i do, and i saw you have a cat on your publicâŚâ He asks, hoping to sound inconspicuous.
âY-yeah! i do, wanna exchange kitten pics?â you laugh feeling more comfortable, heâs got a cat too! You canât help but love cat dadsâŚ
âAlways! and do you have protection on it?â he can already see that only a couple of the cameras donât have any sort of blocker on them in these buildings. Heâs almost disappointed.
There⌠âHow cuteâŚâ He finds the one with live footage of your cat just as pictured sleeping on itâs giant plant shaped cat tree across the room.
âYou mean like the warranty? Y-yeah! I paid for the 2 yearâŚâ You try to keep calmâŚ
He sees a few creeps are already connected to your cam.
He easily follows their trail, typing away on his loud mechanical keyboard. The sound of it soothes you, you end up closing your eyes for a second.
âOh no- You paid?â he sighs in frustration, not at you though. At whatever store took advantage of you. âThis brand comes with a free two year when you buy itâŚâ Shit. he misspoke. He isnât supposed to know the brand.
You donât consciously notice.
âFor real?! I had no idea!!â Youâre almost as frustrated. That was like thirty bucks you didnât even have to spend.
He canât help the small enamored smile that creeps across his face.
âNext time you want to buy something techy lemme know. Iâll make sure you get the most for what ya pay an all that⌠But, back to my question- I meant what kind of firewalls do you have on your router, do you use two-factor authentication on the camera?â He knows you donât have either, but heâll tell you what to do to start protecting yourself from these animals.
One of the connected IPs is a live cam website that nobody signs up to be onâŚ
The comments on you from just walking in front of it sometimes are lewd and disgust him.
âI hope she walks by today, sighâŚâ
âSheâs so hot⌠I wish sheâd take those panties off more often thoughâŚâ
âI saw the side of her ass again yesterday. looks so good, god i want to taste herâŚâ
âIâd fuck her so good, better than whoever that ugly fucker is that comes over sometimesâŚâ
âThat guyâs so luckyâŚâ
His face is twists in a deeper and deeper disgusted scowl the more he reads, he almost ignored the comments about a guy visiting you.
Almost.
His blood boils.
âI-I didnât know you need stuff like that⌠I mean it just faces my catâs tree anyway! hahâŚâ You giggle more nervously again, feeling a little creeped out by the thought of someone accessing it. Do you walk by sometimes? You realize you doâŚ
âLemme help you.â He says almost too eagerly. Save it, he thinks quickly. âI-, I like to make sure the people around me are safe at least.â
âThatâs so nice of you!! but, I donât want to ask too much of you, Iâm sure i could floogle how to myself!â You sound determined, itâs adorable, and his face softens immediately.
âNah, itâs seriously no problem, weâre already talkinâ righânow, an itâll just take one sec. Promise.â You can hear the smile in his soft voice and feel more at ease again.
âOkay! if you say so, thanks so much, Jasper!â
âMm,â He canât help the quiet groan from hearing his name exit your lips, ââcourseâ He begins the process with you, and makes sure you check the âlog out of all other locationsâ box. of course his doesnât disconnect though.âIâll keep you safe from now on.â His words carry a weight that you can feel. Your heart pounds.
âThank you. I feel better already knowing my catâs safe!â
Youâre more worried about your cat than yourself.
Youâre so pure
âLike i said, âs no problem. Come to me for whatever you need technologically.â God he hopes you do. He continues typing, working on sending his homemade virus to all these sickos that have gotten to see more of you than they deserve. âIâll protect you from now onâŚâ
âYou-uh- S-sound like you work a lot!â You try and change the topic, your heart flipping over inside you.
âHmm?â His rumbling voice keeps sending chills throughout your body.
âOh! sorry, I can hear you typing on your keyboard, what are those? lubed yellows? They sound so niceâŚâ Your face warms, a little embarrassed.
âMhmm,â He practically moans again, you shiver, âglad you know your switches. Theyâre my favorite.â
âCould you show me how to lube mine sometime?â
Now itâs his turn with a warm, reddening face, hearing your voice say lube is making him think of anything but keyboards. He idly plays with his lip again, tugging it up with his teeth.
âhow âbought I do it with you,â You shudder, not knowing, but directly feeling his hidden implications.
You sigh through your nose hoping he doesnât hear.
He does.
He smiles, ecstatic with the knowledge that you got what he meant.
âHey, Y/username, I have a little bit of work to do righânow, can I call you tâmorrow?â
âOf course! and itâs Y/Nâ
He beams, âhave a nice evening, Y/Nâ His voice smooths even more than it already was. Heâs barelyy above a whisper speaking into his mic, and straight into your ears.
The effect it has is⌠A little bit maddening.
âYou too,â you speak up with a soft and shaky voice, âsee ya later, Jasperâ he can tell youâre at least a little aroused by him.
He bites his lip, feeling the tug on his snake bites.
After you hang up, he doesnât have to wait even a second before the next call is answered:
âSup Jazzy,â heâs used to hearing his own voice, but itâs always weird coming from another âpersonâ.
âSup Devvy, howâre you an Issac?â

Mild vent. Idk. I promise itâs not as bad as last nights utter mental shattering.
I donât know what it is.
Maybe itâs a U.S centric Gen X mindset, or a remnant Boomer one from that âpull up your bootstrapsâ individualism thing, and no shade to any of the ones who follow me, my only point of reference are my parents and other older adults in my immediately family, and some friends families who tend to echo the same stuffâ
Maybe itâs because a lot of my older family members never got to fulfill any particular ambition of theirs and had no choice but to work in fields they hate, maybe they overestimate how things work these days, and maybe itâs just me being an outlierâŚ
But itâs so hard to discuss jobs especially creative ones of any kind when Iâm the kind of person who is just⌠content working beneath somebody else. Or at least within a group professionally.
I donât really have the ambition to start any individual practice or âbe my own bossâ so to speak. I donât even feel comfortable in positions where Iâm in charge of myself.
I donât disagree that if that were to happen Iâd probably be competent. I just feel more at ease and in my element when Iâm able to just be given a task or assignment in a group setting and just doing it. Then going home and not think about it.
And if I outwardly say that Iâm just⌠fine in that position Iâm looked at weird and getting lectured about it. Itâs not like I donât get it⌠and Iâm sure they just want better out of me or have a positive outlook that I could âbe my own bossâ in a hypothetical and have my own little business and be successful. As much as I do doubt myself in most cases, I just donât feel any connection to those proposals at all.
I legitimately do not that any desire to do those things. At least, not now nor ever in the last few years. It just doesnât really appeal to me.
Iâve never even got my foot in the door in a normal way yet to even know if a leap like that would work or is something I want.
I just know Iâm genuinely more content just being given a task, doing it well (regardless if it ever surfaces, most donât), and moving onto the next thing. Iâm usually at my best there.
Itâs a weird spot when Iâm told that I can allegedly do âanythingâ, but when I say I just want to remain low key and Iâm fine working under someone else, that suddenly isnât a viable thing to be okay with.
âOh you donât wanna do THAT-â âwhy dont you do this instead??â âim sure you could do this that and third and have your own ââ meanwhile I know every single one of them wanted that self sufficient whatever for themselves but never got it.
And itâs not like Iâm not blind enough to see how hard, insular, exploitative and under-appreciated creative fields can be (and downright abusive, even).
I just⌠donât have an urge nor want to do the most âidealâ and individualistic thing ever. I know what theyâre saying is out of this idealized positivity, I get it. Itâs not like I was the happiest person on earth with my old non-creative 9-5 job, yeah I would rather have been putting my skills to use, but I also donât have much interest in being some kind of independent art business owner. Whatever that would entail. (the homies were even talking con booths and junk, like, sure hypothetically it sounds neat and shoutout to those who do it, but itâs not for meâŚ)
Iâm just⌠fine not shooting that high, nor being that notable. But I also didnât hate my old job setup either. I wasnât always excited to go in (who even is), but I didnât hate it. I was pretty fine just âŚworking.
Not that it matters. I donât have a foot in that door anyway.
I donât know. I donât remember my point at all.
Iâll be rid of this later.

Day 2: I đ DILFS
All Parts
pairing: angel/demon fem!reader x 141
word count: 2.2k
tags: semi-canon compliant, no use of y/n, reader is referred to as 'Angel', 3rd person pov, minimal description of appearance, proofread by me so sorry for any mistakes
warning: none
summary: This is day 2 of meeting 141 and Angel starts her assignment, officially.
a/n: can u tell im British when reading? sometimes I accidentally spell words in the American way cuz English is my third language but I swear I live in the UK đ
It was Saturday, and Angel didn't have to be anywhere. After getting settled in her new home, she woke up excited to start her assignment officially. She stared at her huge wardrobe and at the ridiculous amount of accessories. Hands on her naked hips and hair sticking to her face and neck, she was humming while her cat, Kuromi, was making biscuits on the unmade bed.
âWhat should I wear today?â She mused out loud, the sunlight coming from her bedroom window warming her semi-wet skin pleasantly. She grabbed a very short jean skirt and held it in front of Kuromi, âWhat about this?â She asked, laughing.
âYouâre right, this is not very grocery shopping friendly.â She nodded, putting the skirt away and grabbed a pair of baggy jeans, underwear and stopped herself before reaching for a bra. Her eyes landed on a cropped t-shirt that fit her like a glove. She grinned while holding the garment in front of her, âOh, yeah, Iâm wearing you today, and no bra.â
Angel giggled, while Kuromi was busy playing with a loose thread she found on the floor.
.
.
.
âAlright, lads, who wants to go to Tesco with me?â Price asked while wearing his wristwatch, already dressed to go out.
âMe!â Gaz exclaimed, looking up from his phone on the couch and running upstairs to get his hoodie and a jacket.
âGhost, are you going?â Soap asked the man, who was watching a random show on the TV.
âNo, are you?â Ghost said, looking over at the man.
âYeah, I want some snacks. They provided us with old people food before sending us here, no offence, Captain, I want some chocolate and biscuits.â Soap complained, slipping on his jacket, making Ghost chuckle.
âFuck off, Johnny.â Price said, without looking up from checking his wallet.
âDâyou need anything, Simon?â Gaz asked when he walked back down, fixing his hood over his head and checking he had his phone on him.
âNo, thanks, Gaz.â Ghost shook his head and shifted his attention back to the TV.
âAlright, if you need anything, call us. Letâs go.â Price said to Ghost who hummed in acknowledgement and the three walked out of the house, closing the door behind them.
âI call dibs on the passenger seat!â Soap quickly said, making Gaz laugh, the two walked towards the car in their driveway before Priceâs voice made them look back.
âYouâre alright, there?â
Price was standing with the car keys in his hands, looking at his very attractive neighbour, who was frowning down at her phone, standing in front of her door dressed so much more casually than the first time they met.
When Angel heard him, she lifted her head and immediately smiled, âOh, hi! Iâm just trying to get myself an Uber but the appâs acting up.â
âWhere are you going? Maybe we can drop you off if itâs on our way...â Price suggested, and completely missed how both Gaz and Soap glanced at each other, smirking.
âAw, thatâs so sweet. But Iâm just going to Tescoâs, I need to buy a few things so donât bother yourself with that, I can try again on the app.â Angel said, sheepishly laughing.
âOh, weâre going there too!â Soap loudly said, making Gaz grin when Price took a deep breath.
âYeah, we also need to buy a few things, come with us!â Gaz said, grinning and looking at his Captain then his hot neighbour.
âThat would be amazing! if you donât mind of course.â Angel said, looking at Price and his eyes widened, "Why would I mind? Come on, get in."
When Price unlocked the car, Soap opened the passenger's seat door wide and spread one of his arms, "Please, allow me." He said in an overly posh accent which made Angel laugh.
"Thank you, Johnny." She smiled and got in, buckling herself in.
When everyone buckled in, Price started the car and drove out of the driveway. "Which Tesco's are we going to, by the way?"
"We're going to take the M25 and go to the one outside the area. Is that alright?" Price said, stealing a quick glance at the woman seated next to him.
"Wait, isn't that far? Aren't we in inner London?" Angel frowned, confused.
"No, love. We live in the outer circles, it's only going to take us 20 minutes to get there if there's no traffic." Price said.
"Sorry, first time living here." Angel apologised, feeling sheepish.
"It's alright, you don't have to apologise." Price said, making her smile.
"Sorry to interrupt, but am I dreaming or does your t-shirt say 'I heart DILFS'?" Soap asked, leaning forward from his seat at the back.
Both Gaz and Price seemed to be taken back by the question and also very surprised. Angel glanced down at her t-shirt and smirked, "Yeah, it does."
Right as the words left her mouth, Gaz started laughing and Soap had a stupid grin on his face. "That's an interesting choice of clothing, don't ya think?"
"I bought it as a joke.." Angel said, glancing at Price.
"But do you actually love dilfs? That's the most important question, don't ya think so, Captain?" Soap asked, radiating mirth and mischief.
Price glanced at the rear-view mirror and glared at Soap, who didn't seem to be intimated one bit.
"I don't know, maybe?" Angel shrugged while wearing a grin.
Then Angel felt a little evil all of a sudden, and cleared her throat, "Do you know what a dilf is, John?"
In reality, she wore that t-shirt because it reminded her of John. She knows he doesn't have children, he's not even married, never was for that matter. But in the mortal realm, young humans are fascinating on the Internet. Angel when she's bored, she opens up her laptop and accesses the servers on the planet, and sees what they're up to.
Imagine her surprise when she witnessed young mortals calling older celebrities, both men and women, dilfs and milfs just because they were older and attractive. They often claim the label doesn't necessarily mean the said person is a father or mother. Most of the time, it's just pure vibes, and it's honestly just for shits and giggles.
She bought the t-shirt a while back, before even getting her task force 141 wish assignment, and was surprised to find that John Price, could be in fact, considered a dilf.
John isn't even old, he's 37 and would look so much younger than he actually was if he didn't go through so much stress and difficult work for so many years. Either way, Angel isn't even bothered by his age because at the end of the day, she was older than all of the men, ages combined. But obviously didn't look like it, due to her immortal nature. Her files say she's 25 this time, so there's that.
"How can I not? You learn all sorts of new things when you're around someone like Johnny." He said and heard Soap gasp at the back, offended and demanding what did that mean.
Angel grinned at that and remembered to ask them something. "I have a question; Why did Johnny call you captain?"
"We work together." Price answered while Gaz and Soap were watching them in silence.
"Can I guess what work you do?" Angel grinned. She already knew their occupation, but she had to ask, had to play her cards right, use everything to get closer to them and build a mutual trust between them.
"Alright, guess." Price shrugged.
"Okay, uhm, are youâŚ.. Rugby players?!"
All three men seemed surprised at her guess, "Rugby players? Haven't heard that one before." Gaz said.
"I mean Rugby teams have a captain, right?" Angel mused.
"Aye, they do." Soap confirmed.
"And you're all very big and strong, so it's very likely you're part of a rugby team." Angel said proudly, with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Ah, makes sense." Gaz nodded, grinning. He imagined his team and himself in the field, wearing tight jerseys and shorts, knees muddy and sweating. It would be fun, playing all together in the base against the rookies to encourage teamwork and healthy competitiveness.
"We'd make a killer team, no?" Soap looked at Gaz who nodded.
"We're not a Rugby team." Price chuckled, making Angel's smile drop.
"You're not? What a shame. Well, I only had two guesses, so that only leaves me with one." Angel pouted.
"What is it?" Gaz asked, looking at her cute frown and shiny pink lips.
"Pirates.." She mumbled, glancing at Price who started laughing.
"Pirates? Why?" Soap laughed.
"First of all, you call him captain, and your said captain has a beautiful beard, not to be stereotypical or anything.." Angel explained making Gaz grin.
"My beard?" Price said, running a hand through it.
"You laughed, so I'm going to assume I was wrong." She said, acting slightly frustrated at guessing wrong.
"You do have a beautiful beard, Captain." Soap smirked, reaching at the front to squeeze the man's shoulder.
"If you said, marines, you would still be wrong but still close." Gaz said, making her eyes widen.
"Really?"
"We're in the army, special forces." Price finally said, glancing at the civilian woman next to him.
"Okay, yeah, my guesses were very wrong." Angel blushed, embarrassed.
Now that they revealed their occupation by themselves, she can get to reveal her occupation and make them share their nicknames. She knows that they're only living next to her for work, for random short breaks, away from their families. And she knows they would prefer for her to use their field names, to protect their privacy but also her, as a civilian, to some extent. The only reason they haven't given them to her yet is to not weird her out. But they'll get to it, Angel will make sure of it.
"Are all of you special forces? Even Simon? Speaking of which, is he alright?" Angel asked and watched them tense up a bit and internally smirked, they're protective.
"What do you mean is he alright?" Soap asked, raising a brow. He thinks she's talking about his mask, maybe thinks she sees Simon as weird. Even though that's ridiculous, he was wearing a surgical mask when she first saw him, and normal people would probably assume he had a cold and didn't want to pass it on. But she knows Ghost's team is used to him wearing his skull mask more often than not, and probably forgot he wasn't wearing one that day.
How adorable are they?
"All of you are out except him." Angel said, voice brimming with innocence and genuine concern.
She noticed how the tension left their bodies and looked at Price for explanation.
"He's alright, just wanted to rest at home. And to answer your question, yes we're all in special forces, we're just here for work." Price said, making her nod.
"What do you do for a living?" Gaz asked, changing the subject.
"I'm a sex therapist and PhD student." She said.
"That's amazing! What's your field of research?" Price asked, glancing at her and back at the road.
"Psychology." Angel revealed, smiling proudly.
The funny thing about realising wishes, is that lying becomes so easy. You get given a scenario to follow, a character to study and become. And then manage to slowly become that character to the point where your reactions are genuine while your mind is fully aware that you're not who you say you are. It's an act, and a really good one at that.
You're even incapable of feeling guilty over lying to humans. Because Wish angels are gifted with powers that allow them to achieve almost anything and everything. I lied about knowing the Royal family? The Wish Office will temporarily tamper with history, memory and fate and manage to make you exist in the mind of the royals, as if they always knew you. It's an incredible power, completely able to create and destroy anything and everything.
But luckily, Wish angels have no interest to mess up with the humans beyond realising their wishes. They can tamper with time and memory, but after their assignment is completed, everything will return to normal, with the exception of the realised wish.
And so far, Angel hasn't felt the need to use any of her powers on the men. And she doesn't think she will any time soon.
"That's very impressive, the dedication you have is admirable." Gaz said and Johnny agreed, nodding.
Angel flushed at the compliment, "I'm just trying my best, but thank you either way."
The car was enveloped in comfortable silence, the big superstore now in view when Soap spoke.
"Why do you prefer Angel instead of Angela?"
Angel smiled, "There was a girl who had the same name as me back in primary school, and since then, I was always called Angel to differentiate us. It feels natural to be called Angel, instead of Angela. That's what I prefer at least."
"Well, in that case call me Soap." Johnny said, grinning.
"Soap.. It's nice, you have to tell me the story behind it one day." She smiled.
"Maybe." Soap winked.
"Call me Gaz instead of Kyle, please." Gaz added.
"Of course, Gaz is a pretty name." Angel turned to look at the man who flushed.
"What about you, Captain?" Angel turned to Price as he parked the car in the huge parking lot in front of Tesco.
"You can just call me John." He said, smiling at her.
"And Simon?"
"Simon will tell you his own nickname."

(TuT) ok so i got a few but my most thought about are these silly characters who are based on the arthurian legends but mixed with final fantasy and their trying to fight the queen because she doesn't like magic (even though her children are half elf and therefore have plenty of magic) im still struggling to find designs i fully like but this is like the current designs. (Idk if you wanted me to pm u about my ocs or ask??)
Tell me about your ocs too!!!
LESGOOOO okay I do know some things about Arthurian legend but I know fuckall about final fantasy so you're gonna have to bare with me. I love this art, first of all! I'm presuming you drew it but either way massive kudos to the artist, I'm really liking these designs :D (also the style in general but that's more subjective :P)
Headcanons,,, hmm,,, ok I'm gonna go from left to right (and I'm also gonna refer to these charas as their hair colours bc I don't know their names, lo siento xD) (also I am kinda presuming genders based on appearance here so sorry if I get any pronouns wrong xS)
Pink:
There are chains on most of these characters' outfits but the majority are on hers so I like the idea that maybe she made, or at least fashioned, them and then gave them out to the rest of the group?
(by that logic there must be some reason that brunette doesn't have a chain... hmm... maybe pink doesn't like him, or maybe the chains represent some specific thing that brunette isn't/hasn't done)
She's self-conscious about the mole on her cheek :( (if I'm presuming correctly and pink is one of the queen's half-elf children, her self-consciousness could be compounded by the fact that this mole is also an identifying feature that people could use to find her)
I like the idea that Pink is one of those people who just doesn't feel the cold. Not sure why. Maybe it's the fit :P
Ginger:
I know her ears are probably hidden bc of her hairstyle but low-key when I noticed that detail I thought it might be that she's hiding her ears for plot reasons. Is she pretending to be a half-elf and have magic when she actually doesn't? Is she ACTUALLY a half-elf and hiding that fact bc of the queen's grudge against magic? Who knows? Not me! :P
She's actually ambidexterous and only wears arm guards on one arm to throw off anyone she's swordfighting with
The only thing sharper than Ginger's blade is her tongue; her insults are lethal and she is very liberal with their usage
Funny idea: this character has a very low pain tolerance. Like, in the heat of battle she can obviously power through life-threatening injuries, same as any self-respecting protagonist can - but outside of adrenaline-fuelled action? Hoo boy. If this woman stubs her toe on a rock, you're gonna be hearing about it for hours
Blond:
I get the sense that blond has 100% tried to use magic to cook a chicken at least once (and that it hasn't gone well)
Maybe the shared colours are just convenience for the sake of faster colouring but I like to think that blond got ginger a corset the same shade of red as his shirt and boots because he wanted them to match :)
He's actually very good at dexterous skills relating to string and ropes - braiding, embroidery, knotwork, and so on (this inspired by the little braid in his hair (ignore the fact that I've ignored the fact that pink's hair ALSO has a braid in it))
Blond strikes me as the team confidante. I like to think that if anyone has problems, or needs someone they can trust with sensitive information, they know they can go to him :D
Brunette:
I think brunette's cloak is cool as hell so I like to think that HE thinks it's cool as hell too. Like, he wears it all the time, and everyone else is just like 'ugh it's brunette being edgy and mysterious again' but his interior monologue is something more along the lines of 'man... I look so good in this cloak... I've got that shit ON'
He'd actually really like to grow a proper beard, but he just can't for whatever reason so all he's got is stubble đ
Something about him tells me that he enjoys tripping people up with that staff he's carrying
He can sleep standing up (and it freaks the hell out of anyone when they see it lmao)
-
And,,, that's it off the top of my head! (In a manner of speaking. This was not ALL off the top of my head xDD) I hope you crack that character design conundrum you're wrestling with! Thank you sm for sharing your charas, this was honestly fun as hell :D (Either PMing or ask'ing would've been fine with me :3) Keep loving them and making content for them and you will find your audience, I promise! <33
ALSO 'tell me about your ocs too!!!' OKAY YOUR ENTHUSIASIM HAS TWISTED MY ARM but this post is already pretty long so I'll put it under a cut :)
Broski I have WAY too many OCs to fit into one post that isn't as long as my bionicle lore summary so I'm gonna pick out 3!
First we have DANTE
I love this guy. He started off as a self-insert back when I first started writing (12-ish years ago?) and now he's his own fully developed character. I'm so proud of him T_T
Anyways! My guy got evil superpowers from a magic rock - long story, sorry - and decided he was going to become a superhero anyway. He's a paragon and a charismatic protagonist and he tries his best, but he's also a stubborn, chaotic man with no off switch. Maybe not the best person to hold the fate of the world in his hands, but oh well, it's too late now! :P
(aah, I love putting characters in situations)
Next up we have: RAELYN
Remember that magic rock? Yeah, turns out that rock has a consciousness. That's Raelyn. She doesn't like Dante, and especially doesn't like the fact that she's now stuck in his brain - but she likes the main villain of this story even LESS, so she's sticking with him for now. She's an unrepentent fucker and I really enjoy writing her >:3
And finally, we have IVY
Ivy is a cyborg that spends, like, a year fused into a suit of armour (another, slightly grim long story) before the good guys rescue her. The good thing about the longform story I'm telling is that we get plenty of time to watch her blossom from a haunted, emaciated cyborg into someone who's happy and healthy :)
(not pictured: me, valiantly resisiting the urge to call my own OC an absolute smokeshow)
Aaaaand there we go! Hope that fulfilled your curiosity about my own OCs - thank you so much for asking! <3 Have a good one, you absolute champion! :D
#ofc I am willing to offer more OC content if people ask but this post is about BOOGURINE'S characters and not mine#so I am holding back the yaps and making sure I don't steal too much of the spotlight :P#not a pic#someone asked me a thing!#boogurine#IK I said it in the main post but MAN. this was so fun. hope I can spread some creative + OC love with this one

Analyzing the Circus & Biblical Elements in Hellaverse: Asmodeus
And other things, I guess
The embodiment of Lust, one of the most dangerous sins in Mythology, your demon hoste, Asmodeus!
Something I absolutely love about the sins designs is the fact that they're all animals, with Lucifer being the only human one. It really adds to the whole circus element. But, while Ozzie is a chicken, I really also want to talk about the demonic aspects as well and why his design works for him!
Why Asmodeus is a Rooster
The first reason is because another word for Rooster is cock, so the Ruler of the Lust Ring is a giant cock. And, in this world, all the Goetia Demons are birds.
ANYWAYS, there's also other reasons why he's a cock (Im not calling them roosters anymore). In general, cocks symbolize masculinity, pride, enthusiasm, strength, honesty, and most importantly for Big O, sexuality. Makes sense, though. For farming, the entire point of roosters is to protect and mate with the females. And while Ozzie is most likely pan, and he's dating a dude, his entire thing is still sex.
The masculinity and pride element is there as well. Stereotypically, masculinity is being really buff and dominant. Ozzie is literally a king and is buff as hell (I still wonder why his arms shrink sm when he's in his regular outfit. Maybe Fizz is right about him being really good at "squeezing things in."
But, it also doesn't just mean physical strength, it can also refer to mental strength as well. And, let's be real here, Ozzie is one of the most mentally healthy characters in this show.
Strength can also be used for protection, and since roosters protect hens, it could also be seen with how Ozzie is very protective of Fizz and is also one of the few sins we've seen who seems to somewhat care about his citizens. From what we've seen of Lust, it's one of the safer and healthier rings to live in. Ozzie is shown to be very prideful of his sin as well, so it makes sense that he'd want to protect the people who feel lust and live in the Lust Ring, which is why he also despises noncon stuff. (I've heard some people say him not liking noncon stuff doesn't make sense bcuz that's the prime of lust, but SA is more wrath and greed than lust.)
But, his pride for his sin is the next thing. Roosters are prideful, and Ozzie is very prideful of his Ring and his work, and his club. Also, this is probably just a coincidence, but did you know that Lust & Pride were some of the most dangerous sins in mythology? I think it's bcuz they both alienate from God or smthn like that. I Kinda like these 2 overlapping for that reason.
Another thing: did you know that he's also a moth, which is why he has the fluff an antenna? Kolkocat on YouTube said that Vaggie is a moth bcuz of "women if the night referring to prostitution" (she was theorizing about her death, btw), and I think that fits. Val's a moth for the same reason. I also think the fluff could be lion related since they're also symbolized as kings.
Demon Elements
Asmodeus & Mammon are one of the two characters I've seen that look the most like their biblical counterparts, so talking about their designs is the most fun.
We've all noticed that Ozzie has three heads, right? That's actually from his biblical design!
This is from The Lesser Key of Solomon Book!
Honestly, I have no idea why he looks so fucking ugly. My Christian friend theorizes that it's because it's supposed to show that Lust is an ugly sin, and while I absolutely love that explanation, it probably means nothing, considering it was the 1500s and they just wanted to make demons look as ugly as possible so people wouldn't fall into sin.
But, I love how semlesy they incorporated the horse head and goat head into his design. Though, in the show, I think it's a gost head instead of a horse head. God, I need to talk about Bull and Goat symbolism now, don't I?
Bulls are interesting. They symbolize strength, but they also symbolize fertility. And, like cocks, they're also primarily used by farmers to mate with the females (his design really just fucking screams "HEY LOOK! HES THE EMBODIMENT OF LUST! HE FUCKS A LOT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND???")
Goats are easy. They symbolize the devil so much. Hell, the demon Baphomet is litterally just a winged goat. They're also commonly associated with demons bcuz of their eyes and horns. But they also symbolize another thing which is, you guessed it! FERTILITY.
Circus Elements
Actually going back tho the title elements, wooh! (I'm so sorry for getting off topic on all of these).
In a Tweet, Vivzie mentions that all the sins represent a Circus Act, with Bee being an animals trainer which is why she has so many hoops on her design and in her mansion. Ayy Lmao on YouTube theorizes that for Asmodues, he is a dancer and trapeze artist since his club has so many dance and trapeze things.
But, bcuz I'm a chatty little bitch, I want to add to this.
I think Ozzie could be seen as a secondary ringmaster to Lucifer. Yes, he's obviously a pimp, but his outfit reminds me of a cool, modern ringmaster, especially with the tophat, boots, and glowing suit.
It makes sense as well because his entire club has a Circus theme to it. And, again, Lust & Pride are said to be the most dangerous sins. Perhaps Lucifer communicated with him the most about Hell.
Also, bcuz I won't get to the others for a while, he also said theorized about this for the other sins
Satan (wrath): Strongman bcuz his app is a weight lifting app, Bee mentions his abs, and it makes sense the sin of Wrath would be Strong.
Mammon: Obviously a clown
Belphagor (sloth): He said contortionist since her ring has to do with Healthcare, but this person pointed this out, and I like this theory a lot better
Leviathan (envy): He chose Magician for them because they would want to conjure things that they don't have.
Thanks for coming to my messy essay that would make my English teacher cry in shame at the things she has failed to teach me :)

wc: 2132
everything comes crashing down at the sight of your boyfriend kissing her. sure, school has been a lot, but when is it not?
but this? nothing can compare to this pain. you lock eyes with him after he pushes her away, a crestfallen look on his face. youâre not sure why.
is it pity? is it regret? whatever it is, you donât care to find out. you rush to the door, the crowd erupting in âbooâs and lots of yelling, making way for you to get out.
soobin chases after you of course, youâre not very surprised. ây/n! wait!â
you grab your phone and use the flashlight to clear the way, walking to your dorm. you can hear him chasing after you, but your pace only increases.
ây/n please! please just listen to meâŚâ
âwhatâs there to listen to? you kissed a girl, big deal, you regret it. i know how the story goes, soobin, im not that naive.â
he winces at the sound of his name slipping from your tongue, the two syllables sounding disgusting coming from you.
âitâs not my fault, y/n! she came onto me, i swear!â
âisnât that what everyone says? âit wasnât my fault?â nothing you say will change my mind. you kissed her, and thatâs not fair to me. thereâs nothing left to fix.â
âi didnât want to kiss herâŚâ
âyeah, well⌠seemed like you only pushed her away when i looked at you.â
you continue walking, and thereâs another moment of silence. you know heâs still following, but you suspect he must just be going to his dorm.Â
that is, of course, until you hear the sniffles. âstop crying. this is your fault. i get that i havenât been the best to you affectionately lately, especially because of finals, but that gives you no right to just⌠kiss other girls at random fucking parties.â
âi- iâm telling you⌠i didnât want to kiss her.â
âsure.â
you finally make your way to your dorm, grabbing your keys from your bag. you turn around to see soobin still there.Â
this time around, he doesnât fight it. he knows your hurting, and he knows you need space. he just prays you donât need it forever.Â
you open the door, looking back at your now ex boyfriend for the last time. âtext me if you change your mind. iâll be waiting for you, love.â
you roll your eyes at the petname, walking into your home and quickly shutting the door from behind you.
you stop walking when you hear a sound from the door, similar to a whimper, and you look out your window. theyâre tinted so that itâs a one way, and he has no idea you can even see him in this state right now.
he cries so hard that you can hear his voice cracking with every sound, and he finally gets up after a ten minutes, resting his head along the window youâre peeking through.
âi love youâŚâ, it comes out muffled, but you can still hear it. a teardrop falls onto the glass as he finally accepts your decision. he walks down the steps to leave, when suddenly he slips, hitting his knee on the brick.Â
he lays there, unable to move due to his mental state, and just smiles up at the sky. the clouds flash a white, then return to their black color, finally pouring down onto him.Â
the blood from his knee washes away with the rain, but he doesnât care about that. his wounds donât matter to him anymore, itâs your wounds that are important.
you canât bear to look at him anymore, but you check back every ten minutes to make sure he isnât badly hurt.
the next time you check, heâs already gone, limping across the pavement and wailing. his tears mix with the rain water, disguising his sadness.
there has to be some way he can prove it to you. prove his love, prove his innocence. he needs you back. he needs you to believe him.
life without soobin feels different. itâs as if heâs been completely wiped from your life now that youâve broken up with him. he hasnât been to classes, nor is he there to drive you around.
you find comfort in your roommate, but it doesnât feel the same as it was with soobin. now that youâre completely sober, itâs harder to think about what happened.
he kissed that girl just a week ago, but his words still replay in your head.Â
âi didnât want to kiss herâ
he said it many times that night, maybe you should give him a chance to explain. you figure thatâs the best idea, and quickly get ready to head to his dorm.
the walk is short, but it feels so much longer with your thoughts. thereâs a terrible feeling in your gut, he hasnât been to class at all. what if something happened to him?
was he really that hurt that he couldnât even make it to his classes? you rush up the steps, knocking on the door.
beomgyu swings open the door, a smile erupting on his face as soon as he sees you. that means soobin is back right? gyu desperately needs some help with math.
âhey gyu⌠can i talk to soobin for a second?â
his smile instantly drops, and you suspect itâs because soobin doesnât want to talk to you.
âwhat?â
âplease? i know heâs probably upset, butââ
âi thought he was staying with you?â
youâre surprised at first, and then your heart just plummets into your stomach. âw-what? what do you meanâŚâ
worry flashes over his face now, âi- he didnât text me back after the party. i thought he stayed at your placeâŚ?â
you shake your head, âno⌠we broke up.â
âso⌠heâs not at your dorm⌠and heâs not at mine⌠have you seen him in any classes?â
you shake your head again, tears welling up in your eyes. what couldâve happened to him?
âum⌠iâll call and check. iâm sure he just needs some space or somethingâŚâ
you nod, the tears finally escaping your lashline. âlet me know if you reach him. thanks gyuâ
you dart down the steps before he can say another word. you hear him calling out your name from behind, but you canât even focus on that right now.
you run all the way to the creek you always used to go to. this was your favorite place to have dates with soobin. the sun always shines perfectly here, but not today.
the clouds shroud the brightness of the sun, the dark grey sky ready to let go and pour down. and so it does, the heavy droplets hitting the rocks and drenching you.
the cool wind hits you too, making it even colder, but you donât say anything. you let yourself drown in your feelings for a bit. what if it truly wasnât his fault?
you let yourself cry, no one else being around to see you so weak. the rain is too loud for you to be able to hear the crinkling of the leaves behind you, the shrouded figure startling you.Â
you know who it is the second you see his injured knee, but you donât say anything, too scared to face him. he sits down next to you, wordless and clearly afraid.
you canât tell if heâs shaking because of the cold or because of his sobs, but you assume itâs a little bit of both.
whatever soobin did, you know that he still loves you, but youâre scared that he really did want to kiss that girl.
you use your pinky to grab onto his hand, holding it in yours. his heart cracks more and more, until heâs finally breaking down. the rain has finally stopped, but soobin still feels like heâs drowning.
his sobs are much clearer now that itâs quiet, and the guilt eats you up. you try to think of something to say, but nothing comes out.
luckily, he speaks first.
âwhat are you doing here?
âi wanted to talk to you. gyu told me you werenât at the dorms. we were worried about you, you know.â
âiâm sorry⌠i just figured you needed some spaceâŚâ
you clutch onto his hand tighter, letting him continue. âi know you might not want to talk about this right now, but⌠i promise she came onto me.â
you nod, still scared of course, but trying your best to understand him. his breathing gets heavier, almost sounding like heâs suffocating.
âiâd never try to hurt you, ever⌠and i regret what happened with every fiber of my being. i shouldnât have been close enough for her to do that to me⌠i shouldâve just stayed with you- and im⌠im so sorryâ
âsoobinâŚâ
his breathing gets even heavier with his sobs, unable to even look at you. âi-â
âbin?â
âi- i canâtââ
âhey hey hey⌠deep breathsâ
you guide him through it, inhaling and exhaling with him. you manage to calm him down, frowning. âsoobinâŚâÂ
âno⌠i- i have a video. her friend recorded it and sent it to meâŚâ
âwhat?â
he struggles to unlock his phone, fingers still slippery, but he hands it to you. you watch him struggle to push her off, her hands gripping his wrists tightly. tears fall from your eyes again at the sight, why didnât you trust him?
you look back up at him again, only to be met with a sobbing soobin again. âiâm so sorry⌠i know itâs selfish but⌠i need youâ
you set the phone aside, wrapping your arms around him and pulling him in for a hug. âsoobin⌠iâm so sorry⌠i shouldâve trusted you.â
ân-no, i know what it looked like. itâs okayâŚâ
âno, i shouldâve let you explain.â
a moment of silence passed, the only sound being the sniffles passed between you two and the leaves rustling in the wind.Â
âdo you still want to break up?â
âwhat? soobin- no⌠i never wanted to break up⌠i just- i thought you kissed her on purpose. it seemed like the right thing to do, since i thought you just got bored of meâ
he pulls you onto his lap, smiling and grabbing his phone back, making sure not to drop it into the creek.
âi know weâve been very busy because of our studies, but i would never get bored of you.â
he strokes your hair out of your face, leaning into kiss your cheek. his actions are so tender, even after all the pain youâve caused him, and you almost start crying again.
âhowâs your knee?â
âoh- i⌠i think itâs okay. itâs not broken or anything, butââ
âiâm so sorry.â
âoh, itâs no biggie. i just slipped.â
âno soobin. iâm sorry for not listening. i wouldnât have caused you so much pain otherwise.â
âitâs okay⌠you thought i kissed her. from the angle you saw, i wouldâve thought so too.â
you cry into his shoulder once more, his warmth spreading through your entire body. if you werenât focused, you probably wouldnât even hear him whisper.
âi love you⌠y/n.â
you hadnât heard those words from him in an entire week, but it felt like your heart was breaking again. he sounds so⌠small. tentative, almost.
as if he thinks you wonât say it back.
âi love you too, soob.â
he picks you up, kissing the tip of your nose and walking towards his dorm again. âsoobin! i can walk by myself. if anything, i should be helping you. youâre injured.â
âfor you, id travel miles by foot even if my legs were brokenâŚâ
âyouâre so corny.â
he smiles softly, another tear leaving his eye. âw-wait, no- i didnât mean it in a bad wayâ
âi know⌠i wasnât crying about that. i just missed hearing your voice.â
âoh babyâŚâ
you hug him a little tighter, leaving small kisses onto his neck to comfort him a little. you finally arrive at his dorm, and he carefully makes his way up the stairs.
you kiss him again before he can even get his keys out, and he smiles at you. but then you do it again. and again.
he unlocks the door, removing his keys and kicking the door open. your lips are still on his, a newfound motivation to make everything up to him.
âoh! you guys are⌠backâŚâ
beomgyu watches the two of you rush into soobins room with wide eyes, confused as to whatâs going on, but he just closes the front door and lays back on the couch.
before he can even turn the movie back on, a loud moan rips through the apartment. he groans, covering his face with a pillow.
this was going to be a long night.
