Cold Hearted: Chapter 2

Modern AU Law x Fem!Black Reader

previous chapters:

TW: some angst, smoking (weed and cigarettes), fighting,cussing, blood, violence, bullying

Chapter 2 is here!!

Note: I feel like this is going slow but please stick with me. Also I know the blood blood fruit is not real but I figured why not 🤷🏽‍♀️. I also just wanted to give a small flashback of Y/Ns life that you'll learn more about as the chapter go on.

Sunday, August 14th

"We're called the Straw Hats, wanna join?"

Luffy ask with a huge smile on putting a straw hat on his head. 'Well the name makes sense'. You thought some more about Luffys strange request considering almost everyone just met you.

"Fuck it why not." You say shrugging your shoulders.

You were a pretty spontaneous person and you were always down to do anything if it were reasonable.

Luffy starts laughing and patting his knee like crazy "that's great welcome to the crew." He gleams with joy.

You laugh and smile thinking about how cool Luffy is. You're sitting at a big round table in what appears to be your guys dining room. To your left is Nami, to your right is Robin, and Luffy is sitting on the table facing you.

You've never seen anyone like Luffy before and he definitely surprises you the more that you get to know him. As you look away from Luffy you see a blonde haired man making googly eyes at you for a little too long.

"Soooo I'm Sanji and does a gorgeous woman like you have a name." He flirts.

"I'm Y/N L/N it's nice to meet you Sanji, you're not bad yourself."

Sanji isn't used to other women flirting back with him so he has an instant nosebleed reaction which lands him on the floor muttering "She called me handsome."

A green haired man walks in with an adorable looking raccoon on his shoulder.

"Get off the floor you curly eyebrowed freak." He growls.

"Screw you moss head." Sanji barks back getting up.

You direct your attention to this apparent moss head, observing him 'he's cute' you thought but before can say anything you see this cute looking raccoon on his right shoulder and suddenly you jump up with excitement

"OMG he is soooo cute, what's your name and what are you?"

He gleams "Awe silly you don't have to call me that, it's not like it's makes me happy or anything." This makes you laugh harder.

"His name is Chopper, Tony Tony Chopper and he's a reindeer, I'm Roronoa Zoro."

He extends a hand for you to shake and you gladly do so. He looks you up and down almost either admiring your figure or he's giving you a mental background check.

You blush deciding to be delusional and think he's checking you out.

"I'm Y/N L/N, it's nice to meet both of you" you smile.

He nods and then looks over at Usopp who is sitting on the couch playing a video game on the PS5.

"Ya Usopp you tryna run and get some saké with me," Usopp gets up and turns off the playstation.

"You only want me to go with you cause you'll get lost even with the GPS."

Usopp was the first to greet you when you walked into the house and of course he didn't fail to mention that he's some famous 'sniper king' and great inventor. You thought Usopp was also cute with his slick back, big puffy ponytail, and broad chest, it definitely made him look attractive in your opinion.

"Can you take me or not long nose."

Zoros voice agitated cause he's ready to drink. Usopp was gonna say no at first but then he remembered he needed to get something from the store anyway.

Usopp directs his attention over to you, "Hey Y/N do you smoke because I sell" pointing his fingers at you like he's trying to sell a product with a big grin.

"Okayy plug Usopp and yeah I do actually I had to bring my dap pen cause ya know can't have weed on the plane," your response sounded quirky; showing everyone your pink bedazzled dap pen.

"Wow you're definitely a girl," you hear Zoro say looking at your dap pen.

"Hey what is that supposed to mean, I think it's rather cute, it's very me." With a small pout and chuckle.

At this point Luffy is laughing uncontrollably, he might've took an edible earlier cause he laughing more than usual. Nami gets up from her seat and comes up behind Zoro hitting him in the back of head.

"SHUT UP ZORO, don't listen to him Y/N I think it's cute, do you think you can make me one?"

Your mouth is agape trying to not laugh at what just happened. Zoro mutter something under his breath walking to sit on the couch.

"Of course I can Nami, what about you Robin?"

Robin smiles "No thanks I don't smoke I prefer a nice drink with a book, I guess you could call me boring."

Sanji out of nowhere, "There is nothing wrong with you Robin, you are perfect the way you are my sweet beautiful gorgeous angel."

At this point everyone is dying laughing not phased by Sanjis antics. For the rest of the night you guys basically had an initiation for you since you just joined the Straw Hat crew. You guys drank and smoked some weed until you all retired to bed.

A/N I decided to not write Brook, Franky, and Jimbe into the book cause I wasn't sure how they would fit.

Timeskip~

You are sharing a room with Nami and Robin, after a long night of getting to know your new friend group and hearing about everyone's passion and devil fruit/speacial abilities. Also, seeing Luffy get the size of a house from eating all of Sanjis cooking was something you'll never forget. You all decided to head to sleep because you all had class in the morning.

To your surprise you, Nami, and Robin all have first semester Chemistry together as well as Intro to Greek Mythology. It made you happy to able to meet such kind people because you didn't receive much kindness growing up; you were bullied a lot as a kid.

You were heading to sleep but you couldn't help but think about your passion and dreams of traveling the whole world; spreading joy to people around the world whether it be through music or spiritual healing.

Your mom knew you ate a rare and powerful paramecia devil fruit...The Blood Blood Fruit giving you the ability to control peoples bodies using their blood, you can also use your own or other peoples blood as defense when you have to fight.

With your power you can take lives and save lives making you rather important and an asset to the world government. If you had to choose you'd do everything in your power to protect those who couldn't protect themselves.

Your family spent years on the run before finding a Ping Fort Island in the North Blue, hiding from the World Government. Your mom did a good job of concealing your identity by making it seem like you died while traveling and changing your last name in order to get the World Government off your back, which is why you were able to have a simple life living in Ping Fort Island.

You roll over in your bed thinking about the episode from your childhood that led to you eating that damn fruit when you were younger and your family was living on the East Blue.

Flashback~

You were just a kid living on the East Blue with your mom, dad, and baby sister with big hopes and dreams. You were a shy kid who had a hard time making friends because you lacked social skills. But, there were three little boys in your village who would pick on you quit often.

Back then you didn't know how to fight or speak up for yourself so you would let them bully you. One day the boys took you deep into the forest. But before they left you they shoved a devil fruit down your throat and they told you to find your way back. You couldn't find your way back to the village and you were scared; missing for two days.

You ended up making your way back to the village and your parents were worried sick. When you saw the boys again you were angry but, they didn't care. They kept harassing and picking on you until you let your anger boil up and go too far. Let's just say one of the boys had his arm blown off without you even touching him.

Everyone in your village was scared of you which made you an interest for the world government because one of the boys snitched on you to his parents who told the world government. Your family escaped the island sometime later but, ever since leaving the East Blue you haven't been the same since. The light had been gone from your eyes for a long time but, you just recently was able to gain it back.

Currently no one else knows about your ability other than your family. Not even your best friend knows about your devil fruit, so you're even more scared that the straw hats might want to kick you out the crew if they learn about you. As you're thinking about tomorrow you ended up fall asleep and having a nightmare about losing control with your powers and hurting the people you love.

The Morning~

You decided to wear a pink mini skirt, white crop top and black chunky hightop sneakers (ya know with the thick white lace). You had some gold jewelry on with your gold necklace that had your name on it. you had light makeup on with a brown lip and gloss combo and you put your hair up in a cute style (your choice of style and I feel like Y/N got a belly piercing).

You were sitting at the table eating some bacon and eggs that you requested from Sanji, "Damn you can cook Sanji, that's very attractive." you flirt making Sanji blush and practically faint to the floor. You started giggling but, he soon got up when he realized that it's almost time for you guys to head out and Sanji wasn't even ready cause he kept gawking at you.

Today was your first day of class and it's current 7:45 am both, you and Sanji have class at 8am. Sanji offered to walk you to class but you declined because you didn't want him to get the wrong idea. You did however have him drop you off close to the building your class was in.

As soon a you got out the car Sanji didn't hesitate to roll down his window and start screaming "Y/N my love." you could hear him getting ready to embarrass you some more in front of everyone looking at you. So as you're walking you decide to close your eyes and imagine Sanjis body, the warmth of his skin and his blood coursing through him it struck a happy nerve in you knowing how warm his body was.

To Be Continued…

Thank you for reading 🙂.

hey! i was interested in your regupete posts or whatever you called it. could you maybe give some more explanation? i havent heard of it before but it seems interesting.

omg ofc i'm always happy to talk about themmm- thanks for the ask! i am going to infodump though, so get ready for a long post lol

so basically regupete, known by many other names (my favorite being black plague), is the ship between regulus black and peter pettigrew. it seems kind of random and i did actually start shipping it as a crack ship but i just think they're so fun together.

i say they're canon because they were both death eaters of the same age at the same time with ties to the same people. obviously, peter was best friends with remus, james, and sirius, and regulus was sirius' brother. i just think it's so silly of them to be little plotting backstabbers together, yk? like they at least made out once in canon, that's just a fact. peter is just irresistible, even to the great regulus black!!!

can you imagine both of them being death eaters running around and torturing and killing people for funsies and being absolute menaces???

i also just think peter is a super shippable character which probably has something to do with the fact that he's rarely shipped with anybody and often pushed off as a character altogether. why not regulus with peter, honestly? they're both sarcastic and not quite enough for what people expected of them and silly little guys that i would like to keep in my pocket forever.

i especially started thinking about it when i looked back at one of my own pieces and realized how in awe of peter regulus was when he first met him and how much peter was showing off and i was like oh there's potential there.

so for my personal headcanons, regulus met peter and was like omigodhe'ssocool and peter is like really good with spells and really kind but also hella sarcastic and witty which reggie loves. not to mention he's gorgeous. regulus is peter's best friend's little nerd brother who's really secretly quite fit and effortlessly amazing at quidditch. i mean come on, everybody knows everybody had a crush on both of them why not each other, huh?? explain that!

don't get me wrong i still fucking adore jegulus, but i also really like regupete and given their canon potential i think they need more attention! in the case of jegulus, i personally think it's hilarious that regulus and peter hooked up once or twice and james was soooo upset and they never let him forget about it. it just. comes up in conversation all the time, and every time james doesn't let go of regulus for like 5 business days (that's part of the reason they do it).

that's my little two cents on regupete/lionrat/plack/black plague!! atp i might have to add a canon-compliant or canon-adjacent regupete story to my list of things i want to write *sigh.* i'm already coming up with ideas, goddammit

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK, ANON!!! this was really fun and honestly cheered me up so much to write! we all need to infodump every once in a while :D

Last weekend, I went to my first comic convention! I've been to conventions before (Star Trek ones) but not comic ones.

I was by myself, and it was a bit overwhelming lol. I'd bought the weekend ticket, because I wasn't sure which day I'd go to and was potentially thinking of both. In the end, I heard the Sundays were quieter and so went on Sunday.

If that was quiet, I'd hate to see what busy was 😂There were sooo many people, and it was so noisy.

I didn't go to any of the panels. That felt like too much for this time, so I spent the few hours I was there walking around all the tables, trying to scan for anything that looked interesting but also trying not to get too close and get drawn into sales pitches and/or conversations I'd not be prepared for (I was only semi-successful at this).

I must've had A Look on my face every time I approached a table, because more than one of the people at the stalls said, "It's okay, you can touch them". 😂Which did not, in fact, make me feel any less nervous about touching the comics on display. 😂

I also went up to a stand manned by a couple guys I'd met previously at my local comic shop's social get together. The guy there when I approached didn't recognise me, and he asked what kind of comics I like. Being already so far out of my element, I didn't know how to bring up that we'd met a couple times before and panicked, so I just said I don't know what kind of comics I like 😂(although, tbf, that is essentially the truth hah, no matter how funny it sounds to anyone hearing it) and focussed on my other reason for dropping by their stand - the other guy was debuting a comic at the convention, which I'd backed on Kickstarter, and was there to pick up.

There were a few other people I've met before there (like, a few people who own/work at my local comic book shop), but there were just sooo many people that I didn't cross paths with any of them, except for a person I recognised, having met at another of the comic book shop's social things, who had a stall for their book(s).

Aside from just generally looking around, my other aims for the day were to visit a few specific tables. I picked up my own copy of Ask for Mercy (and a cool bookmark) from Abigail Jill Harding and, fortunately, no one at the table seemed offended when I said I hadn't thought I'd read the book, because the story was too weird for me but that the art is just soooo gorgeous that I have to read it anyway xd (which is good because I didn't mean it offensively) (Seriously. The art is so incredible. I'm going to also give Parliament of Rooks a go, because I think I really love her artwork. Also the title makes me think of Six of Crows, so... xd)

Another top priority was visiting Jacob Phillips's table. I picked up a really cool print of The Enfield Gang Massacre issue #1 cover art and a That Texas Blood button. It has joined the other TTB button I had at home. :D

I'm kind of hoping there will be prints like this of all the covers, because they're interlocking covers, and I'd rather frame the prints instead of the actual comic books.

He was going to sign the poster, but I asked if he could sign something else instead. Last year, before I'd really got into comics but could tell it was a matter of time, I made a little drawing on the subject. And because that represents something for me, how important comics now are to me and how much I love them, I decided I wanted to ask those folk whose work I love and is important to me to sign the back of that (I've actually laminated the drawing and then glued a sheet of cardstock to it). Jacob Phillips's work is very high on that list for me. And he did agree to sign it. He also briefly looked at that terrible awful drawing, so that was embarrassing, but... 😂😂😂

He had some other art for sale, but I was way too nervous to stand there and go through it. It was funny that I already own a copy of almost every single book he had for sale on his table haha. I think there was only one that I don't have, and I think it was one of the Ed Brubaker/Sean Phillips ones that I'm not yet sure I want to try. Although, now that I think about it, if Jacob Phillips was on colours... ngl, that means I do want it. Darn it. My brain was definitely not working by then xd.

I had hoped to come across a couple other people, but did not. One of them is another person whose work is on that "very important to me" list. Next time, perhaps!

There were also a lot of queer tables, which was really cool. I picked up this patch from one of them.

I don't really know what to do with it, 'cause I don't put patches on my clothes or bags lol, but I love it, so I'll have to find something.

I haven't really started on the comics I picked up from the convention yet, except for one. That one (not pictured) is (hopefully) the only dud. I'm a bit of a sucker for the setting/topic and was just so nervous that I basically just agreed to buy them without really looking at them or considering what I thought the odds of the topic being handled well by the creators were. That was definitely my mistake. I kinda feel icky having them in the house, so I'm not totally sure what to do with them lol.

Oh, I did read Zac: Death and Admin. That one's cute, and I hope I can pick up any others that may exist. Ambrosia is also technically a gift for a friend, but I'm gonna read it first xd.

Overall, it was a pretty good day. I'm glad I went, though I kind of wish I'd gone to the first day. Next time, I may have to figure out something for my cats so I can perhaps stay in the town overnight (and not travel way too much) and go to both days. I'm also going to go to panels next time.

so i finished sonic frontiers today and...wow... just like berseria re-ignited my love for tales of games, frontiers did just that for sonic games (i already bought some used copies to replay generations and finish unleashed :y ). my favorite game before this was sonic generations, but frontiers just blows it out of the water. some more junk thoughts below.

what i loved most about generations was just how much FUN it was to play through the levels. adventure 2 is a classic but the added speed in generations and frontiers make the levels seem slow in comparison. i'm not a big fan of classic 2d sonic, but generations made the modern sonic 2d sections a blast, and frontiers does it just as well. i looked through the frontiers stages and it looks like they remade most of the unleashed, generations, and adventure 2 stages. i hadn't read anything about this game beforehand so i had no idea that all of the stages would be remakes of older ones. i recognized and just completely LOVED all of the adventure 2 stages (metal harbor is the beeeeeest!!!), so for the unleashed/generations ones that i didn't recognize/remember i had a blast playing through them since they were new to me.

i was a bit skeptical about the open world aspect at first because i was like how the hell is that going to work for a sonic game, but to my most pleasant surprise, the worlds are just pure JOY to explore. honestly running around the first world made me think, wow, this is everything i ever wanted when i played through sonic adventure 1 all those years ago. i remember exploring mystic ruins and WISHING the area was bigger and that there'd be more stuff to do in it. filling out the map and doing all of the small little challenges/open levels to collect memory tokens never got old. like, you'd think i'd get tired of grinding on rails, jumping through purple rings, running through loops, doing light speed dashes through rings etc., but no!! each time i'd encounter one of these bite-sized levels was always so awesome to see how smoothly they would flow to a memory token. i never bothered to get all of the korok seeds in breath of the wild because that BS was boring AF, but the tokens? they're actually super fun to collect and will definitely aim to obtain them all.

one of the parts that completely blew me away was the part where you had to climb the towers. like...holy shit i was just in awe at how fucking amazing that part was. the music and the design of the towers was just pure art. there would be similar levels when you'd have to collect an emerald in the open worlds (there was one where there were like giant rotating rings in i believe the second world that was soooo fucking cool), and ugh i just can't stop praising how great the fluidity of the levels were and the satisfaction that i as a player would get when i'd get to the end of them. just a completely stellar job.

the music in sonic games NEVER disappoints and sonic frontiers is no exception. from the beautiful ambient music in kronos island to the brass-filled powerful melodies in chaos island, frontiers manages to perfectly capture the mood of the world you're exploring. and then when the music would change each time you'd collect a chaos emerald? fantastic. so you have all these gorgeous, melancholic melodies while you're out exploring to fit so well with the story, and then when you enter the actual stages it switches the mood completely to various types of edm to go along with the fast-paced levels (stage 1-2 my beloved!!). and do i even have to mention how gorgeous the lofi fishing theme is? that's going into my study playlist automatically. like...the variety in this soundtrack is just astonishing and the fact that it wasn't nominated at the game awards is a joke.

the combat in the game was also surprisingly fun and satisfying. the mini bosses were a blast to fight, and encountering a new one was always a welcomed surprised because it'd be like oh, i wonder what the strategy for this one will be since they were all so unique. fighting giganto for the first time was so cool, i mean that fight was so badass, iconic, and nothing like i had ever seen before in a sonic game. i must admit that the novelty of the titan fights went down each time you'd fight one, but they were all still pretty amazing.

so i mean honestly, i don't have any major complaints about this game. i don't play sonic games for the story and that actually managed to be pretty interesting. loved tails character development, that was unexpected to hear from him!! i wonder how they will follow up with what he said at the end?? and can't wait to see how they'll bring sage back or what role she will play in the future! (not sure i understood 100% her sacrifice at the end but she's still "alive" so whatever!) i guess the only thing was that i thought the S ranks were a bit too easy to obtain (minus the one level that we're all aware of), and i wish that they had included at least one sonic adventure 1 stage. i mean sure, they're not as fun and dynamic as newer sonic stages, but surely they could have made some changes to them like they did with city escape. really the only thing that sonic adventure 2 still holds over it is the chaos garden, but other than that, frontiers is definitely the best sonic game i've ever played. i still have to collect all of the memory tokens and record my personal best records in the Arcade Mode, but for now i'm going to take a small break from the game.

i have no idea how sega is going to top this. i saw on wikipedia that they wanted frontiers to be a model for future sonic games just like how Sonic Adventure was, so that's very exciting to hear because wow, i swear this game never ceased to amaze me at how good it was throughout the 30 hours it took me to finish the story + all of the stages. really hyped to see where they go from here!!

13 (you frost cookies like you're neither left or right handed but a third other hand that you don't actually possess and I can't stand it (affectionate)) w blupjeans please :O?? -ise

Kravitz is fighting for his life in this dessert-decorating course, and he thinks he's finally lost the battle. He certainly feels like he's going to be executed, watching the instructor walk over like he's a shark and Kravitz is a flying fish that lost his pilot's license. He forces back the urge to destroy the evidence and beg for an A, because he's an adult and he paid to be here, damn it, but his heart is still pounding when Taako gets close.

"Soooo," he drawls, turning the plate around. "Tell me about your art." He looks like he's holding in giggles hard enough he's about to get the hiccups.

"Well," Kravitz is not going to bite his head off, he's not, even if being here is driving him up a wall. He's a normal adult and he can function. Maybe if he works hard and does his best, he can add an adverb there–he can function well, or admirably, or unlike trash. Gotta have aspirations.

"This one is a cat," he gestures to the purple cookie's lopsided smile and far too many whiskers, which make it look like a walrus that an ai tried to come up with on a lot of cold medicine. "And this one is. Um. Happy." The yellow frosting got mixed up with the black and made an awful mess, and yet through this saccharine deformity, the expression on his emoji cookie is somewhere between murderous and horny.

There's a beat, a staredown, the tumbleweeds rolling behind them in this classic cowpoke standoff, and Taako can't hold back anymore. He grips the counter and doubles over, laughing so hard he sounds a little bit like he's barking, or being abducted by aliens that have dial-up and have to go ten percent at a time. Kravitz doesn't know how to respond to this. It is not exactly the kind of criticism he deals with on a professional basis.

"Hang on, hang on," Taako wheezes, and he laughs even harder. He actually has to sit on the floor, and, as he's catching his breath between snickers, gestures for Kravitz to come down to his level. Kravitz can't exactly walk away, so he squats down and hopes his slacks can take the pressure.

"My guy, I-" Taako wipes tears from his eyes. "Don't take this the wrong way-" Kravitz will. "But you honestly, you, fuck," he drags a hand down his face, still shaking from mirth, "You decorate cookies like you're not, you're not left handed, OR right handed, but a third- fucking, secret hand that doesn't even exist."

Kravitz is… not sure how to process that.

"Fuck, my dude, I can't stand it, I-" He pushes himself up and offers Kravitz a hand, which he takes, against his better judgment. He's busy feeling deeply cut down about the cookies, and then he looks at them again, and he's laughing too. He really did make a mess of this. What can he say? There's no defense.

"Shit, gorgeous, why- again like, not to make you quit or anything, but, shit, this doesn't feel like it's your thing, yet, I- what even brought you to this class?"

Kravitz almost chokes on "gorgeous" and has a hard time getting the rest of the question to go down.

"Um," he says, a little pitchy, and he clears his throat. His cheeks are even warmer now than when his decorating skills were getting reamed. "My boyfriend wanted to do something as a couple," Taako’s face falls. "But he dumped me, and I'd already paid for the course, so, I figured," He rubs the back of his neck. "Maybe it would be fun?"

"Sorry to hear that." Taako is bouncing on his toes like a preschooler waiting impatiently for his turn to speak in the school play. "I can't say you're there quite yet, but uh," He grins. "Maybe a bit of private tutoring would help?"

"Taako," Kravitz looks him right in the eye, and takes a bite of his pink walrus. "I don't think anything could help me on this front. But if you'd like to go out for dinner, I'm free after this class."

Taako giggles and nods enthusiastically, and Kravitz is incredibly relieved he only decorated the cookies and had no hand in baking them.

#okay so someone was really bothered by long posts taking up the whole tag so i tried to put this under a readmore but i am on mobile #so cross your fingies #i hope u guys still read this! i feel bad...i wasnt trying to be a nuisance and take so much space #taz #tazb #taz balance #the adventure zone #taakitz #the adventure zone balance #fan5fics #taakitz fic

🎁 YOUR MUSE GIVING MINE A GIFT (Mia giving Sia a gift!!)

Warm & Fuzzy

(Since you asked for two of mine, I might just have to get a certain sweet dormmate of theirs involved, I think you know the guy.)

Early in the morning, Mia took her official Neige leBlanche calendar down from the wall, and ran a manicured finger down the edge of the photo. "It's been a sweet September with you, but all good things gotta come to an end," she said as she turned the calendar page to the next month. A bright new photo was revealed - Neige in a Halloween costume - and she giggled. "And new good things will start! Aw, he looks like a lil' superhero here." She rehung the calendar, and then grinned at the stickers covering the first day of the month. "And now it's time for me to do my hero stuff!"

She gave herself a quick once-over in the mirror, nodding in approval at how her uniform and hair looked, and grabbed a little bag from her vanity table. She picked it up and addressed it. "Just one more thing to add before you go to your new home, haha! I just need to find my special helper."

Bag in hand, Mia rushed over to the botanical gardens. Hopefully, she'd find her target there, before he left for classes. She wound her way through raised beds and just managed to avoid getting spritzed by a watering sprinkler before she finally found them, carefully digging around a particularly enormous orchid.

"Hi, Rose! I'm glad I didn't miss you!" Mia skipped lightly over to him, and held out a hand to help them get to their feet. Rose dusted some grass blades from the front of his knees, and smiled gently at the little freshman.

He raised a hand in greeting. Hello, Mia! shimmered across his palm. They loosed their long hair from the bun it was tucked into as they worked. Mia oohed under her breath, then rocked back and forth a bit on her feet.

"I don't wanna be a pain, but today's the day! Do you have the thingy I asked about?" She looked up at Rose, almost apologetically. "If anyone could make this happen, it'd be you. I know it's not—"

Rose let their shoulders shake a bit with silent laughter, cutting Mia off. He raised a finger, and gestured for her to follow a little further into the grounds.

Mia's eyes grew wide as the two approached their destination. Spreading out ahead of them, wildly out of season but beautifully pink and delicate, was a rare and gorgeous sight. A cherry tree bloomed, oblivious to the autumnal world outside. "OM7, Rose!! You did it! Is it really okay for me to take a branch?"

Rose nodded their head, and pulled a small hedge clipper from their apron pocket. Mia indicated a particular branch, and with a few quick snips, Rose had it in hand, and passed it over to the young beastman girl.

"I can't believe it! This is soooo perfect. I can actually give my sister her favorite flowers on her birthday! I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help, Rose. Thank you!!" She threw her unoccupied arm around Rose and gave a tight hug. "I promise, I'll give you three weeks of help in here in exchange!"

Mia opened the bag, and carefully withdrew a small ceramic vase. She had painted small siamese cats along the bottom edge, and they glittered in the light of the botanical garden. She gently placed the cherry branch into the vase, and held it out in front of her to look. "It's perfect! Sia's gonna loooove this, so much! I'm gonna give it to her, right away! Thank you again, Rooooooooose!" And as quickly as she ran in, she ran back out. Now all she needed to do was find her big sister, so she could start her happiest birthday ever with her favorite flowers!

How does your dream engagement ring look like?

Ohhh tricky question! My actual engagement ring is my dream engagement ring. But there was a dream engagement ring before this one that was ALSO my actual engagement ring, lol.

When my husband first proposed to me, he proposed with a 1.10ct princess cut diamond set in a slightly raised halo with a white gold setting. This was the ring I had been drooling over and adored. It was the exact ring from the exact store that I had shown him and told him I wanted a million times.

THEN (and if anyone was following me in 2013/2014 you'll remember this b/c I went batshit on social media against the company, haha) I had to send my ring to be fixed because the setting was slightly crooked. Ultimately I sent it back three times - and the final time I sent it the company (a large chain retailer in the US) went MIA. They told me that "the diamond broke" and they could send me everything back - broken diamond, setting, etc or they could shave down the diamond and reset it. And I was like EXCUSE ME you BROKE my DIAMOND?!

Now, my husband had agonized about the diamond. He went to many, many jewelry stores looking for the PERFECT diamond. He wanted one with the best color, cut, and clarity that he could get for his budget at the time. So the diamond itself was a labor of love for him and he was really proud of it - and of course, it was my ENGAGEMENT ring so there was a lot of sentimental value there. And they BROKE it.

I told them that shaving down the diamond was unacceptable since my husband had paid for a diamond that was just over 1 ct and shaving it down would significantly reduce the monetary value of the ring (the value of diamonds drops significantly when they're below a carat - that's capitalism for ya). And they just went silent.

Soooo - at the time my main blog was getting a shitload of viewers per day/month and my Twitter was very active. I sent their VP of Public Relations an email with all of my social media stats and was basically like "You have 24 hours to make this right or I'm going to start telling this story everywhere." And they didn't.

So I started tweeting haha. And within 2 hours of my first post going up someone from their customer service department called my husband (not me, mind you - which pissed me right off b/c I had been the one dealing with them the entire time) and was like "sooo, we see your fiance has started tweeting..." and they told him that they would give him a full refund of everything he had paid.

Now. From the time my husband had proposed to the time all this happened he had actually gotten a new job which paid significantly more. And now we had to get a new ring. So we went together to a LOCAL (non-chain) jewelry store and picked out my new ring together. I didn't want to just get a replica of the original ring b/c that felt like a bad omen. But I still liked the general vibe of it. And my husband decided that since he was making more money he wanted to "upgrade" my ring a bit (even though technically I barely ever wore the original b/c it was always getting fixed and then broke.) This ring is a 2.25ct oval diamond with a split shank halo setting ... I adore it. I'm obsessed with it. I've been wearing it since 2014 (so 7 years now) and will sometimes still just sit and stare in awe at my hand. It's so gorgeous and so timeless AND we picked it together. And it's got a story behind it, lol.

Two words:

Lady Dimitresu

"Oh!" Janus clasped their hands together "I know that character! Remus invited me over to have a game night with him where we played that game! Sometimes I even got to use the controller....though we died a lot when I played. He liked it for the horror but I enjoyed the gothic aesthetic the most"

"Of course" Logan replied "It suits the mystery feeling you always exude"

"Exactly! Ms. Lady D has a big hat and you know how much I adore a big hat"

"I do know that"

Jan showed his boyfriend a photo of her before they split off to look around the shop for some long white dresses or a big black hat, maybe even dark gloves. He'd found a fitting dress when Logan came up behind him.

"I think I found high heels that fit you and some fake pearl necklaces" He held forward shoes with the smallest little heel ever seen to man.

"Oh darling I'm unsure if those even count as high heels"

"You're right. The lady was very tall. More is needed before you can truly embody her"

Logan went off again. Janus found a hat. They smiled into the mirror as they put it on. It was big enough to push accidentally push things off of shelves. Perfect.

He went over to the dressing room with the hat, dress and necklaces. He'd already started to undress when Logan knocked.

"Come in hun. I'm only murdering someone in here"

Logan stuck in a pair of proper black high heels before entering "Are these better?"

"Great catch. I have never worn high heels by the way. Do you think that will be a problem?"

The nerd actually let up into a snort which he quickly tried to hide "How about you sit down"

Janus sat down on the stool in the corner of the dressing room and pulled off their snake themed socks. Logan hunched down on the ground to help them on with the heels. His partner weaved their fingers through his dark hair as he tightened the small clasps in the front of the shoe.

Their hand trailed down to hold tightly hold his as he helped them up on their shaky feet. Janus took an unsteady step and gave their boyfriend a cocky small when they didn't fall.

When they immediately stumbled at the next step Logan was there to catch them in his arms. He sent them an equally cocky look. In response they shoved their palm right into his face which made them both laugh.

"it's certainly...a start" Logan said.

"Like you could do any better"

"I can testify that I am indeed horrible. I have tried on my good lady wife Patty's heels a few times and I have always ended up with a bruise somewhere from it"

Janus had a shit eating grin on his face as he bopped his boyfriend's nose "Knew it. Be a dear and help me with the dress"

Logan held the dress up so Janus could slither into it. It was a bit long for him so the dress trailed down onto the ground but he liked that. His boyfriend carefully placed the necklaces around his neck and held his hair so he could put on the hat properly.

"Oh" Was all Janus said at first when he turned around to look in the mirror. His cheeks heated up if just a little "It doesn't look half bad"

Logan leaned down to press a kiss to their cheek while moving his arms around their shoulders "That costume looks gorgeous on my equally gorgeous partner. He is incredibly handsome no matter what and I am always in awe of their beauty"

A warm feeling spread in Logan's chest as he saw his love shine up into a bright smile. The happiness even reached their eyes. A flutter of giggles left their lips.

"Thanks darling"

"Excuse me if I mess any gender stuff up. I am still new to it regarding you"

"Oh dear I think you're getting used to it quicker than I am" Janus replied "I'm still a bit unsure if genderqueer is even the right label but uhh hearing you call me partner makes me feel happiness I didn't know I could feel soooo" They shrugged.

Logan nodded. Then he suddenly went quiet. His eyes went big as he stared out into air.

"Wait....You......You're the third partner of mine who has realized they're trans shortly after the start of our relationship" Logan met their eyes. He had a completely serious look on his face "Jan do I turn people trans??? Do I need to write up a hypothesis and start doing experiments on my trans turning abilities???"

Janus broke out into laughter. He theatrically wiped away a tear and everything "Oh dear I think you just happen to date a lot of different people"

"......Right....Right yes that does make sense........Though it would be quite cool if I did turn people trans would it not"

"Oh it would be the coolest! Just like how it would be the coolest if I had any sort of ehm substantial titty mass to give true justice to Ms. Lady of the Dimitrescu"

Logan blinked at him "I can fix that"

"wHat?" Janus voice cracked just a little out of surprise.

"Of course" He picked up his partner's socks "Before Patty began to transition I tried my best to help her relieve dysphoria, including chest dysphoria, in any way I could. If I may?"

"Uhm sure"

Logan ever so gently moved his hands down into the chest part of the dress. He kept looking to Jan's expression to make sure he wasn't uncomfortable.

"You already have an immaculate chest so really all these socks needs to do is push them together and up and then- Bam. There you have it. The illusion of boobs"

Janus' eyes widened as they looked at themself. It was like the last piece of the costume had fallen into place. Even they had to admit they looked good.

"Holy shit Logie you're a wizard"

"No. I just love my wife a lot"

He chuckled "I'm aware"

Janus tested out taking a few steps in the high heels again. They were already thinking of texting Remy to get makeup tips to fully embrace the glamour.

He spun around and when he saw the way the dress twirled he spun around even more. A grin grew on his lips as he flapped his hands around.

"Oh dresses are simply spectacular stimming objects" He exclaimed.

"That reminds me, I was supposed to go as the ghost version of whatever costume you choose right? So I should go find a white dress right?"

Janus' flapping intensified "I didn't think you would be comfortable with that. I uh I'd assumed you only liked being masc"

"Honey I just prefer polos and suspenders. I am not against dresses. None of Patty's dresses fit me though so it's not like a wear any that often. Wait here please"

Logan left the changing room to find a white dress and a hat. Janus stood still for a few seconds but quickly broke out into more spins. The dress twirled against his legs and the heels clattered against the floor.

They'd never felt as comfortable in their own body as this past week. That was the thing about realizing you're trans isn't it.

"Okay honey I found something. Please cover your eyes" Logan said before entering the dressing room.

Janus sat down on the stool and closed his eyes. He waited as his boyfriend changed into the costume.

"Honey. The zipper"

They opened their eyes to see Logan turned away from them. He had on the dress and hat but the zipper on the back was down. They got up and moved their hand to pull it up.

Janus noticed the freckles on his lover's back. They were so light in the winter he barely even saw them. but they were. They looked like stars splattered across his pale skin.

He leant in and pressed a soft kiss between Logan's shoulder blades before pulling the zipper up.

Logan turned around and showed off the costume. The dress was a bit short on him but otherwise it was perfect. Janus just stared in gay for a few moments before managing to blurt out,

"Oh wow you're so incredible ugly wow holy fuck horrendous. Hideous. Hate it. Burn it"

"Glad you like it" He looked at himself in mirror. He did a few poses as well "Ah yes. I am looking above room temperature!"

Janus smiles "Did you just try to call yourself hot?"

"Yes. Am I wrong on that?"

"No dear. Not at all. You are speaking facts actually"

"I always do! I assume this means we are going as Ms. Lady Dimitrescu of the Dimitrescus and the ghost version of the lady correct?"

"Oh yes! Of course! If I get to see you look this handsome all night there is no way it won't be an amazing party!!"

Janus threw their arms around their boyfriend's shoulders and spun around in an embrace with him. Their dresses twirled together as the sound of their laughter mixed together.

"So I can buy all the things for the costumes and then we can maybe go out and eat? I think I saw a place with fancy marmalade somewhere around here. Then if you want to you could stay over at my place? Sound good?" Logan asked.

Janus just looked at him for a little bit "Sorry dear I am just- I am very distracted by how handsome you look right now. but yes! Sounds- sounds wonderful"

Logan leaned down and kissed them "I love you so much dear. Especially when you have that glimmer in your eyes"

"It's the special Logie glimmer, it's there just because I love you too. And also I love you paying for this whole thing! Muhahahah!"

After changing back the two of them left the costume shop while holding hands even though their hands were already overflowing with several bags of newly bought clothing. Janus' heart was bubbling over with excitement for the halloween party.

soooo tw for adults dating minors aha just ranting about this thing cause im disappointed

markiplier uploaded a video on this bad end theater and i fell in love with it, its openly queer (wlw even, which you never see) and just really pretty and the music is gorgeous, went to twitter to find the creator and ohhhh so they have locked and left their account cause they were outed for dating a 14~ year old when they were 22 a while back. NICE awesome no thats so cool. they literally admitted it in their google doc apology, and apparently the minor (whos now 21) did some shitty things and there a literally ppl defending this creep cause the kid they dating did some bad stuff after they broke up. why are ppl awful. Idk how you can literally see, literally face to face a 14 yr old that you're dating and be like yea nah this is fine. Apparently they didnt know the teens age and just assumed they were old enough, yeah how many times has that excuse been shat out.

Oh jeez I actually never heard of all of this before but I'm kinda behind with yt and Twitter Drama. I haven't even seen the markiplier vid you are referring to but yeah that's actually really damn bad. Literally I can't even imagine how they didn't notice it's a 14 year old, the headspace ur in with 14 is so different from 22 no matter how "mature for their age" they seem with 14 it's impossible to have the mind of a grown person. Idgaf what the kid did for creeps to excuse this shit it doesn't matter at all and has nothing to do with them dating. No minor deserves creepy adults around them and this can't be excused. I hate twitter so much you even find people defending stuff that can't be defended

Soooo just wanted to say I'm super excited for this FWOG update! I'm like bursting at the seams! This will be one of those that I reread over and over and over again. Loved the angst, development of their relationship, the supportive friends Alll of it. Do you read fics? Would you recommend any that you've read recently that hit you in the face???? I'd love to know if u have any recs. ❤

ahh anon!! thank you for the kind words and I hope you enjoyed the update! sorry for the delay on this but I really wanted to take time and not forget stuff! as always I do have a “fic rec” tag for anything I read and enjoy if you want to check that out.

but to get more specific here are some “hit you in the face” (asjkslsj this is exactly how I’d describe it too) fics, aka my emotional support fics. a lot of these you’ve probably read if you read elu fic, and also a lot of them are one shots, but I’ve never done one of these lists myself so here you go:

gonna start (unsurprisingly) with nat @lepetitepeach and my fave elu series maybe it starts now. talk about getting punched in the face by a fic!! it’s heartwrenching and beautifully written and has literally made me gasp on multiple occasions. my favorite part is no one ever tried like you but please please read the whole thing. (my other fave fic from nat is la lune et le soleil but really I’d recommend anything from her!!)

next!! reduce it to a touch (but maybe we’re in love) by @lumierelovers. this fic!! it’s SO good really like I love all anna’s fics but this one has stuck with me and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve reread it. there’s just a softness and obliviousness to them in this that’s so heartwrenching and satisfying oooooof (also highly recommend illusion of bliss obvs and lumière, darling)

onto lauren!! in the hope that you’ll see me by @tawmlinsun I mean big oof. this fic is so tender and raw and beautiful and I, my god, I’ve read it a lot because it’s gorgeous just like everything lauren writes. another fave is if I can recognize real and I’m also highly invested in gold to you

next is maybe everything by @mauuvelesbian. I am not kidding when I say kath has this talent that makes it so I like feel my heart in my chest every time I read one of her fics. faves include: i think i’ll borrow tomorrow’s happiness for today, all your words in disguise, making me think like you’re mine, and of course the god tier coffee shop au

a catalogue of afternoons by @oheliotts hit me so hard that I still remember exactly where I was when I first read it. it’s beautiful, slightly angsty in the way you want and so so lovely and romantic and damn please read it!! (also PLEASE read things I forgot to tell you if you somehow haven’t yet because that’s a whole other brand of beautiful and heartwrenching and god tier writing)

em (@eliottamoureux)!!! look I ADORE alors laisse-moi tenir tes mains (dans les trous de mon pull)!!! it’s got that period-piece edge and em’s particular brand of soft and adorable elu that had me screaming and so so invested. it’s just such a gorgeous and unique fic and all I can say is please read it. (also pas peur is next on my list!! the pieces I’ve read are so beautiful - em really does eliott POV like no other - but I blame getting into this fandom late on why I’ve somehow not read it through yet)

in a shocking twist I’m gonna rec tempo by @surrealsunday!! I mean, look no further for the kind of heart pinching angsty shenanigans that have me re-reading again and again as well as incredible moments of tenderness and a level of humor that I’m very much in awe of. it’s become a fandom classic for a reason (also currently reading hollow edge but I have to catch up!!)

felt like it’s only fair to rec the fic that basically inspired me to start writing for skamfr. it’s a brief for the defense by @unquaintly and idk why but I had to like take a walk after reading this. just like everything she writes, the descriptions are so incredibly beautiful and I found myself feeling like I’d actually left this world while reading it. keep in mind I’d never seen pacific rim so I had no idea what I was getting into and it still floored me so…

and finally the last thing I hear at night (and the first thing in the morning)…I just this fic really hit me in the feels with it’s understanding and romance and gorgeous writing and jfc I return to it when I need a serotonin boost truly. like it hit me in the face but I thanked it for that, you know?? anyway, please read

hopefully this was helpful anon!! and happy reading! 💛

#elu fic #fic rec #this got so long but I have so much love for this fandom and it's writers so I don't care #also there are many fics I love that I didn't mention here so pls don't take it personally #i happen to sometimes be dumb and I may have forgotten rn lol

stimmypaw reads the apprentice’s quest, a blog post

A big one, just a bunch of thoughts as I’m reading it, of course, lots of spoilers for the first book in the Warrior Cats series A Vision of Shadows. This will be covering just the first book tho, it’s all in the Read More, let’s gooooooo!!!!

Vision Of Shadows time

Lots of new cats!!! I don't remember these guys as kits or anything wrow!!! I like their names but itll take a while to get used to them

Also cant believe they printed stormcloud's dead name

Omg there's a cat named beepaw

I love these cats all of them so much im going 2 cry

All new names are perfect

I FORGOT HOW GORGEOUS THE CAT VIEW IN THE RECENT BOOKS WAS, LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

I'm glad leafpool smokes weed

I love reading from Jayfeather's point of view, his grumpiness hasn't grown on me ever but thats just me, I still enjoy it lots he's great and its fun

Firestar and Leopardstar's characterizations are On Point i love it

OOF i feel so bad when jayfeather is mean to others, poor kestrelflight, I love those two

Lovely Jayfeather moments now its time for the first chapter

I like this duo! Also I didn't think I'd ever say this but shut up squirrelflight one can have fun AND learn with their mentors

Sparkkit sounds nice she makes jingling bell noises when she walks around

Alderkit is chadphobic /j

I can see Alderkit taking deep breaths to relax its rotating in my mind its beautiful

God this first chapter feels so good and comfortable, like eating noodles and chicken nuggets. I am so so deeply in love with it, its gorgeous!

Sparkkit is so perfect too, and Graystripe remembering Firestar aaaaaa

DUSTPELT SAID WHAT? PHDHAHAHHA OH NOOOO I don't remember their relationship much, must have been fun, I love young little creature squirrelflight I MISSED HER SO BAD WOW

I started reading the second chapter and died, I think ill take a break now 2 sleep heehhee

I love them describing twoleg stuff its always so fun and alien, like watching an animal planet show about funny sea creatures.

Also I have determined sparkpaw is my favorite, might be my favorite cat ever next to hollyleaf??? I really identify with her and also she's autistic i have decided that

Alderpaw baby noooo hhhh their mentor at least is trying to show its okay, he seems very emotionally distant so far and alderheart feels very emotionally needy, actually both of them do, did I mention I love Sparkpaw??? I might be imprinting myself 2 much on her

I love how like, its clear both of them are absolutely anxious and worried about others opinions on them, which is clearly something they got from being Firestar's grandkids, deputy kids and leader kids. And bramblestar too, I recall him being quite the anxious lad ahhah. Sparkpaw will be showing confidence and being loud but the second anyone isn't approving of her or she does something "wrong" she gets small and quiet, and she ended up setting a high bar for herself by being good at hunting and fighting so I'm curious to see how that will go. Also there's nothing wrong with being guided through a crowded place to meet others Sparkpaw!!! I bet the two of them would be stuck without not knowing how to talk to others had Needlepaw not shown up. I love them, my gf is mocking me saying I'm a Sparkpaw kinnie.

Apprentices will like learn about a thing and tell everyone about it all the time and assume its always true in every situation and thats valid I love kids like that. Also in my head Needlepaw kinda looks like a porcupine. Oh boo she's fatphobic >:(

I love apprentices they are so fun and silly, just making fun of the leaders like its nothing. The way they are clearly learning and absorving everything their warriors say and do like sponges its just ***chefs kiss***

Omg shadowclan is just full of 12 year olds help

And then the old person said "it sure is hard being old!" And everyone clapped

Shout-out to pretty Riverclan apprentice #481977 I love her

Leafpool: 👁👁

Alderpaw: I knew it im cursed and awful and terrible and I will never amount to anything

I wish the cats didn't seem to be giving up on him so easily though

Ah yes the classic thunderclan move "you suck, into the medicine hole you go"

The way sparkpaw changes the things she says and how she does when it isn't the status quo around her oooooooooooooyeaaaaaaa I love 1 autistic cat

Alderpaw considering your problems lesser than other cats won't help you deal with them better bro

I love Needlepaw's excitement about Alderpaw being a medicine cat apprentice, and her sarcasm, she feels like a preppy teenager

Ahhh this is so good, I am so thirsty for family moments like this, just Alderpaw bonding with grandma, I’ll definitely want to draw this one it’s so sweet.

Oh to be young and silly.

I really am enjoying like, Alderpaw’s struggles to seeing how he fits in the clan, how he fits in himself, how he wants to be seen and what he wants to be, it’s really good. I Am Engaged(tm) With This Plot.

SPARKPAW NOOOOOOO but also Yes I want her to be shown vulnerable and weak please

POP, god watching this stuff always awful, the cats must have thought he broke her ahahah

Also, really great that they learned from Dovewing and now like leave choices and discussions about prophecies between adults

And plus Brambles seemed to take the time to explain stuff to him, seems he wont be going alone either the 1 thing is that he will be the only one knowing what the journey is really about, why though??? I didnt read Firestar's Quest or whatever why does Skyclan need to be secret??? Seems quite silly really!

YESSSS SANDSTORM GET HIS ASS FIGHT FIGHT LOVE THIS LOVE SANDSTORM

I could feel squirrelflight nearing explosion here, this was very fun, i wish they werent hiding this though!!!

The secret thing is showing to be a plot point so I am once again Very Engaged

Also, wonderful dialogue bit, someone asked Bramblestar why an Elder is going and:

Lovely perfect perfect

I miss you dovewing

SQUIRRELFLIGHT LOVE YOU

Oh boy this is it

Traveling book moment

Graystripe: Soooo you're excited to go on the journey to the old territories and Skyclan?

Sandstorm: Yes! It's been ages and-

Graystripe: I'm sure the tribe will love the visit too

Sandstorm, groaning: Oh noooo I forgot about how the tribe is in the way of every journeyyyyy noooooo they're such a racist caricature, please tell me you have a plan

Graystripe: Yes don't worry about it the writers forgot about the tribe in my comic book so you can just use the excuses i did to actively avoid it

Sandstorm: Oh thank Starclan

Sparkpaw's desperation to prove herself oof, her anxiety with understanding the prophecy, oh boy, and Alderpaw feeling too overwhelmed by the questions and not managing to talk!!!! I am so glad they are both autistic

Hoping "Being Leader" wont mean theyre putting nonsense responsibility on the apprentice again

Ah good Sandstorm is on the lead again, as she should, she should have been leader she would have been great

I can't believe Alderpaw thinks I look stupid and diseased :( /j

Everything about this twoleg scene was scandalous I loved it, Sparkpaw just toppled over a trash bag and they are eating from it, iconic, also did those twolegs throw out a whole turkey? Damn

Its not that Sparkpaw is freakishly good at hunting she is very hungry and constantly on the watch for things to eat

BRO Ive never been in a road where the drivers are this wild, throwing bottles out of the car????? Ive seen Fruit being thrown like once or twice, what the fuck!!! I'm glad they are going to wait until the morning to continue

Okay I was not expecting Needlepaw to show up this girl is chaotic I love her

ACTUALLY YEAH WHY DIDNT THEY TELL THE OTHER CLANS ABOUT THIS SINCE THE PROPHECY IS ABOUT ALL THE CLANS???

Needlepaw is like Rono from Bambi 2 if he wasnt a mean bully and thats very epic

Very curious character though, how come her mentor isnt teaching her the warrior code properly? Is that an issue with all apprentices?? Is the clan overwhelmed by 12 year olds and they won?

Having lots of fun trying to play the game "what animal are they describing this time" the erins made here, im glad they're in a farm. Worried about Sandstorm though :c

Fuck im worried about sandstorm a lot, her wound hurt on Me

Yeah water is good youre right sandstorm

Aw man I hope she's okay let her at least survive to meet skyclan please

NOOOOOOOO SANDSTORMA A AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Sandtteooonrjrbbbmmnnnnnnnnnn

I am so sad

Alderpaw denying it, Starclan shining upon their vigil, everything crushed me i cried

Alderpaw considers Nihilism

Haven't seen a cat thank starclan for prey in a while its

Oh look they time skipped a journey! They don't tend to do that thats nice

I'm so excited to be meeting The Skyclan that everyone in the fandom knows now

So far they seem kinda mean but thats most clans at first glance really

Okay somethings up

I uh have heard of Darktail pretty sure he's a bad guy so yeah something really bad happened to Skyclan

Am worried

Darktail sounds like an evil himbo* i may be enjoying him actually

*himbos are usually nice by default so he's just evil and stupid and strong

Does needletail know these cats already?????

Shit

Oh okay fuck

I've been quietly reading the rest because I am just concerned and I want them to be okay as quickly as possible

Waterfalls are a classic nice

Oh boy time for our unlikely duo of Alderpaw and Needlepaw to get out of a Mess!

I did not expect this to end up with the two of them journeying into parenthood, but I'm happy it did

Well actually I'm very unhappy theyre so lost and there's no sign of Skyclan I am very worried for everyone involved Sparkpaw must be feeling awful!

Twigkit is a great name

Yeah this ended terribly

Overall! Frigging loved it this book was GOOD and a great start for the series I am very excited to read the rest, SO WORRIED ABOUT SKYCLAN THO AAAA the characterizations were great the characters were great the pacing was fun and I didn't get bored once!

I think o only wish I had read this sooner really so I could look up others thoughts without getting heavily spoiled about the last books, I can watch a few videos already though thats a start ahhaha. But yeah it was great and it felt very good to read, haven't swallowed up a book so quickly in a very long time!!! Very happy I finally got my hands on this 💕💖💕💖💕💖 cant wait 2 start the next one

If you read all this, hope you had fun hahaha, ill be making more of these cus theyre fun and I like talking about warrior cats thats just my thing

Til next time

#wc #the apprentice's quest #warrior cats #a vision of shadows #avos #warrior cats avos #avos wc #wc avos #avos warrior cats #warrior cats a vision of shadows #alderpaw #needlepaw #sparkpaw #violetkit #twigkit

Leo :

The summer festival was packed fullwith people, tonight ! You were hesitantly walking amongst the crowd, reachingon your tiptoes to try and see if your boyfriend was here. Unfortunately, he’snot exactly the tallest, so he doesn’t stand out in crowds… that is, unless hestarts shouting.

“Heeeeeyyy ! Over heeeere !” Ah, that was definitely Leo’s voice ! You turned around, and here hewas, grinning widely at you. Not paying mind to the people still going about,you rushed in your boyfriend’s arms, giggling happily. He was laughing too,even carrying you to the best of his ability. You were surprised to see he waswearing a yukata, and it suited him really well ! The garment reallycomplimented his skinny frame. He took in your own figure with a wide smile.

“Whoooaa, you’re wearing a yukata too ! It’s so cute !” he exclaimed, and yousmiled, a bit relieved to hear he liked it.

“Thanks, yours looks really good too !” He grinned at the compliment, his hand naturally finding yours andsqueezing it tight. That’s what you loved about your boyfriend : he tended toact on impulse ! That just made his every action so much more genuine.

“Ruka-tan helped me put it on, since I’m so bad at it!” Leo laughed loudly, prompting a few people to turnand watch him in amusement. He seemed to be in an even better mood than usual !The colorful and enthusiastic atmosphere of the festival probably had a part inthis… but before you had the time to ponder about that, he was already pullingyour hand and pointing at a stall in the distance.

“Whoa, not so fast, Leo !” Youwere struggling to match his pace, but this just made it so much funnier. Leodidn’t slow down anyway, just drawing his tongue at you before going evenfaster. Your wooden sandals were making it pretty hard to run, at least withoutstumbling. Leo was excitedly blabbering, visibly not noticing your struggles.

“Hurry hurry, there’s a game I wanna play ! I betyou’ve never tried it, too !” He stopped in front of a stallwhere children were lining up, eyes twinkling with impatience. To be honest,his enthusiasm was extremely contagious and you found yourself smiling widelytoo.

When it was finally your turn, Leorushed to the stand owner to pay for the game. It seemed to be about catchingfish with a scoop… Goldfish were swimming calmly in the water, their long finsundulating in the ripples. Leo was focusing already, squatting down to observethe fish at eye-level. His tongue was slightly drawing from his mouth in hisconcentration, and that sight made you giggle.

“Whaaat ? You making fun of me ? I bet you suck atthis though, even more than me !” He tried to scoop one of thegoldfish out of the water, but it swam away immediately. With an impatient little groan, hetried again, and once more the fish went to hide at his brusque movements.

“Hey, you’re doing it too fast ! Look, the fish areafraid. Let me try !” You tried to take the scoop out ofyour boyfriend’s hand, but he wouldn’t let you, eyebrows furrowed.

“Aah, don’t steal my scoop ! It’s mine, I paid for it!” You huffed your cheeks in protest, but he wouldn’tbudge and you eventually gave up, groaning. Leo’s triumphant smile was soonwashed away by concentration again as he tried scooping out one of the fish, onlyto fail again.

“I told you, you’re too fast, but you wouldn’tlisten.” You were pouting, much to Leo’s dismay.

“Hey, don’t be angry at me ! You’re not angry, right?” You didn’t answer, looking away. The stand ownerlaughed, shaking his head, and Leo tried to meet your gaze, to no avail.

“Of course I’m not angry.” Youturned a bit towards your boyfriend’s worried face, but your lips were stillcontorted in a small pout.

“Thank god ! Here, I’ll let you try. I bet you can’tdo it anyway !” Leo handed you the scoop, and you grinned at him,kissing his cheek before looking the fish over.

“I think you have to go for it more slowly”, you whispered, gently approaching one of the fish with the scoop. Assoon as you were getting close to it, you scooped it out of the water, andLeo’s eyes widened… only for it to fall in the water. The scoop was made ofpaper, and it softly tore right under the fish you’d managed to catch.

“Ah, that’s not fair ! You were so close !” Leo was pouting, and you smiled, taking your wallet. Once you’d given afew more coins to the stand owner, you had a brand-new scoop and were trying tocatch the fish again. That is, until Leo suddenly started flailing about.

“Not that one, not that one !” He’d suddenly screamed way too close to your ear, and you jumped a bitin surprise, causing the fish to swim away quickly.

“Hey, don’t scare me like that, Leo ! See, the fishare afraid again now.” Leo quickly pecked your cheek inapology, then pointed to a bright orange fish with a white tail.

“Try to catch this one ! I want it.”

“Why ? I think the white one is cuter”, you retorted, watching your favorite fish leisurely swim with theothers. Leo grinned at you, leaning his head on your shoulder.

“Because it has cute eyes. They remind me of yours !” You just stared blankly at the huge, empty eyes of the fish. Was thatsupposed to be a compliment… ?

“Uh, thanks, I guess ? But I don’t know, it reminds meof you, actually. It’s the same color as your hair !” Leo gasped at your comment, nodding furiously.

“Ah, you’re right ! Then I’m going to call him Leo theSecond !” Well, at least he has an interesting naming sense.

“Wait until I catch him first”, you laughed. You tried to focus on the one fish Leo wanted, when hesuddenly grabbed your face with two hands and loudly smooched you. You wereleft blinking in surprise, cheeks slightly pink.

“It’s a good luck charm ! Now scoop Leo the Secondout, I really wanna bring him home !” Leo wassmiling widely, the colorful lights from the paper lanterns reflecting in hiseyes. He looked absolutely gorgeous, and you suddenly realized you’d beenstaring at him in awe for a moment. With a sheepish little nod, you got readyto try scooping the fish again. You approached it as slowly as you could,hoping the paper wouldn’t break this time… and you successfully scooped it outof the water, proudly showing it to the owner. Leo laughed brightly, clappingas the owner gently put the fish in a small plastic bag filled with water.

“Be careful, alright ? Treat him well.” You took the bag from the stand owner with a smile, then handed itover to your boyfriend, whose eyes widened slightly in surprise.

“Eh, why are you giving it to me… ? You won it, soit’s yours !” he chirped, giving you the bag again. You shook yourhead, teasingly pecking Leo’s lips.

“You’re the one who really wanted it. It’s all yours !Let’s say it’s a gift from me.” Leo stared at you incredulously, notsure if he should believe you. He then shyly took the bag, cheeks tinted pink.

“Thank you… It’s the first time someone ever—” He suddenly stopped, mouth hanging open. You briefly wondered why, butthen you heard them. The fireworks. Leo gasped, and you could swear his facehad literally lightened up in just a second.

“Aah, it’s the fireworks show ! We can’t miss it !!Come on, hurry up, I wanna get a nice spot !” And heleft running, tugging on your hand to get you to move. You laughed, trying yourbest to match his pace without stumbling.

“Don’t run so fast ! What if you harm the fish ?” He just sent a boyish grin your way as a response, but actually sloweddown a bit.

“I won’t, promise ! You gave it to me, after all. It’skinda like we’re its parents !” You stopped in your tracks,blushing a bit. Parents, huh… ? You couldn’t help but imagine, maybe… you andLeo, older but even happier, with kids of your own…

“Come on, you’re soooo slow ! Hurry or we’re gonnamiss it all !!” You hadno time to dawdle on these thoughts any longer : as usual, Leo was pulling onyour hand and laughing brightly. But there was no way you’d ever get tired ofit.

Hinata :

You were nervously fiddling withyour yukata’s sash, sitting on a bench. You weren’t usually so nervous, buttonight, the festival was crowded. People were looking at you, and youself-consciously fixed your hair. You just hoped you didn’t look too weird…

Your boyfriend was just a little bitlate, but as you suddenly spotted him amongst the crowd you understood why. Hewas with his twin brother and some of his classmates, joking around. As soon ashis eyes met yours, he waved at them and happily trotted to you.

“Sorry I’m late ! Yuta-kun had some trouble with hisyukata, and I couldn’t leave him looking ridiculous, you know ?” He winked at you, then gently helped you get up. Only then did he fullytake in the view, and he grinned, blushing a bit.

“Ah, you’re wearing a yukata too !It looks really nice on you~” He regretfully took his eyes awayfrom you, but took your hand with a mischievous grin. You looked around a bitand saw some other couples holding hands, so you decided to throw yourembarrassment by the window and intertwine your fingers together.

“Is it fine that you’re with me rather than with yourfriends ?” you asked, and he fervently nodded, squeezing yourfingers briefly.

“It’s a date, so of course yes ! I don’t wanna be withanyone else tonight, you know~” He wiggled his eyebrowssuggestively, making you giggle. Hinata looked positively delighted at thesound.

“Well that’s good, because I didn’t plan to give youaway to anyone else”, you airily answered, prompting yourboyfriend to smile. That was obviously the answer he’d been expecting.

You looked around a bit, unfamiliarwith the stalls and games of the festival. Hinata was quick to catch on,smirking teasingly.

“You’ve never come here before, right ?” he asked, and you nodded. “Then,does it make tonight your ‘first time’ ?” He sent a pointed look your way,eyes twinkling with amusement. You drew your tongue at him, making him chuckle.

“It’s just a joke, a joke~ Well anyway, hope you’rehungry, because tonight’s schedule revolves around sweets !” He looked so happy at that prospect, and you found his excited smile tobe contagious.

“Sounds good ! What’s first ?” He just pointed at an endless line of food stalls with a huge grin.Before you knew it, you were queueing alongside him, while he happily ordered abit of everything, from most of the stalls. Did he… intend to eat all of that ?

Soon enough, you were seated at atable near the main street, lit up by paper lanterns. Hinata went to get papernapkins and gave half of them to you with a little smile. “Believe me, you’re gonna get cream or chocolate all over your chin atsome point.” You could only stare at the impressive number of plates andcups filled with various desserts, your stomach grumbling in hunger.

“Yeah, looks that way… Ah, can I try that ?” you asked, pointing towards what looked like a fish-shaped waffle.Taiyaki, right ? Hinata nodded happily, handing you the treat.

“Just eat whatever you want ! There’s more than enoughfor two~” And he was right : even after sampling a bit ofeverything, there was still a lot more. But Hinata was certainly not planningto stop there.

“Come on, aaah~” Youhappily opened your mouth when he prompted you to, letting him spoon-feed you icecream. It was delicious, too ! Hinata looked pleased you liked it, taking aspoonful of it to try it too.

“Ah, wait”, youinterrupted, “I have to spoon-feed youtoo, right~ ?” He grinned, handing you the spoon and exaggeratedly openinghis mouth, prompting you to giggle. He didn’t look like he liked the icream though, andyou curiously titled your head sideways.

“I thought it was amazing, but you don’t seem to… ?” He shook your head at your question, even grimacing a bit.

“Nah, actually I think it’s not sweet enough.” But it was just perfect to you ? He grinned devilishly as he added : “But I know something that will make itmuch, much sweeter.” Before you had the time to answer anything, he leaneda bit and gently kissed your still-parted lips. You could only close your eyesand melt into the kiss as he deepened it, his hands finding your own. His lipswere warm and tasted of strawberry ice cream… You were surprised when hesuddenly pulled back, cheeks pink but smiling.

“There, much better, right ?” You just blinked, still dazed from the kiss, and he laughed, adding : “Man, I’ve always wanted to do that ! Sorryif it was cheesy.” He winked, prompting you to smile.

“I wouldn’t mind if you did stuff like that moreoften, though !” You stood up, throwing away the napkins and emptycontainers with your boyfriend’s help, before he gently guided you amongst thecrowd again. His hand was softly squeezing yours again, and it felt so nice tobe connected to him…

“I have something else in store for you~ I hope you’renot afraid of fire ?” You answered his question with asmall frown. You hoped he wasn’t planning anything dangerous…

“It depends, I guess ? Why ? Don’t tell me—” He cut you off with a laugh, gently stroking the back of your hand withhis thumb in a soothing motion.

“Hey, do you really think of me as someone sodangerous ? Naah, it’s nothing like that !” Hestopped in front of a stall, which seemed to sell…

“Sparklers ?” youasked, and he nodded happily. He definitely seemed to know a lot about them,asking for specific ones and happily going through the bag once he was donewith his purchase.

“Yep ! I’ve been playing with them a lot~ I remember,when I was little, Yuta-kun was really afraid of them for some reason ! I’dchase after him with sparklers and say ‘Yuta-kun, I’m going to burn you alive’…! Ah, fun times.” Well, at least hewas having fun…

“You know, Hinata, I think I’m starting to grasp whyYuta always runs away from you.” You smiled at your boyfriend, wholaughed loudly before playfully elbowing you.

“Don’t say that ! It’s just that he’s shy aboutshowing his love for me~ Anyway, help me find a nice, secluded little cornerplease ! Wouldn’t want to accidentally burn anyone alive, for real this time~” You giggled and started looking for a quiet place where you could gowith him, and eventually you found a perfect spot.

As you were holding the bag open andexamining its contents carefully, Hinata took one of the sparklers and expertlylit it up. You reflexively took a few steps back, but he was laughing, waving thecolored light around.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s not dangerous or anything !Look, it’s so pretty.” He lit up another one and wasforming intricate shapes and patterns by moving them fast. You couldn’t tearyour eyes away from him.

“You’re right ! It’s really beautiful”, you whispered. He grinned before gently handing you one of hissparklers. You hesitantly took it, but soon got used to it and started to playaround with it just like Hinata did. Whenever one of the sparklers would gooff, Hinata would light up a new one. Some of them sent bright sparkles flyingabout, while some were best to move around fast, and your boyfriend knew whatevery single one of them was just perfect for !

“Hey, hey, look !” Hinatacalled out, and you turned your head his way. He was forming a heart out ofbright light, grinning happily. You smiled, trying it out too to see if youcould do it.

“I can do it too ! I really wish I could take somepictures though…” Hinata shook his head at your comment, whichsurprised you for a moment.

“No need for pictures ! Just carve tonight into yourmemories~ Y’know, I’m going to remember you for my entire life !” Maybe he was just joking around, as he usually was, but for some reasonyou profusely blushed at that thought. If he was serious… then it would be oneof the prettiest things you were ever told. Not noticing your sudden shyness,Hinata was still playing around with the sparklers.

“Look, look, I’m writing your name ! And mine too !H…. I…. N… Oh wait, we should totally carve them in a tree somewhere !” He suddenly stopped moving his sparklers around, looking for a suitabletree nearby.

“I don’t have anything you could use for that though”,you answered. Hinata nodded dejectedly, visiblydisappointed at the thought he wouldn’t get to carve your initials here foreveryone to see.

“Maybe that’s better for the trees anyway… Well,sometimes I want everyone to know about us, but I probably don’t need to~” You thought his face looked just a bit more serious for a moment, butmaybe it was just the weak lighting of the sparklers…

He lit up another sparkler, and youcould briefly distinguish his face in more detail. He was looking at you, asmall smile on his lips, so uncharacteristically different of his usual grin.

“I mean”, he added, “why should I need everyone knowing ? As long as you do, I’m happy.”

You smiled bashfully at his words,watching your last sparkler go off. Hinata’s went off too, and suddenly it wasjust the two of you, holding hands and kissing, with just the stars knowing.But it was more than enough.

Chiaki :

Everyone was so fired up tonight !It made you smile, your heart thumping loudly in your chest. You lovedfestivals, and you were so happy your boyfriend invited you to a datethere ! Besides, it seemed like he’d love the festival too.

… Right. It seemed. You couldn’tfind him anywhere, and even though you tried to call him, he never picked uphis phone. Well, knowing him, he must have gotten pulled into something andyou’d run into him soon enough. You took your time strolling peacefully in thefestival, stopping by at stalls for a moment, buying delicious-looking food andenjoying it quietly. While it wasn’t bad to relax once in a while, you kind ofmissed the boisterous excitement your boyfriend would bring anywhere just by beingthere.

As you thought, it’s a lot lessfunny without Chiaki, right… ?

You were contemplating buying someapple candy when something else that was bright red suddenly caught yourattention. On the next stall were displayed a variety of masks to be worn witha yukata. You smiled as you looked one of them over. It was a tokusatsu hero’smask, red and all ! Once more, you were reminded of your boyfriend. You didn’thesitate one second and bought it, thinking you’d give it to Chiaki once you’dfind him.

As you were strolling down theendless line of stalls, you suddenly heard the distant sound of singing anddrums. The people who were walking about as you were had stopped, lining upalong the stalls. Was there a procession of some sort over there ? You tried tostand on tip-toe, but you couldn’t see much. The crowd seemed enthusiasticthough, whispering happily as the sound drew closer and closer.

Eventually, the procession came by.It was preceded by singing women in traditional attire, and you watched thempass by with wide eyes. The sight was so impressive ! Then came men carrying amikoshi, those portable shrines. They were chanting proudly, even though theylooked exhausted. That shrine certainly looked heavy… And then came the taikodrummers, led by… none other than Chiaki ?

Wait, was that Chiaki ? Yeah,actually, no doubt about that ! He was leading up the drummers proudly, joiningin the chants once in a while. When his eyes met yours, he gave you a brightsmile, full of enthusiasm and energy, before he went away with the rest of theprocession.

As soon as the procession had ended,he immediately rushed to you. Before you could say anything, he swooped you ina rib-crushing bear hug, even spinning you around.

“Chiaki ! I’m so happy you’re here !” You hugged him tight too, secretly relieved he didn’t just forget yourdate.

“About that… I’m awfully sorry ! I’m so late, this isunforgivable… ! I was held back by the procession, as you can see… They weremissing a drummer, and I couldn’t just leave them be !” He gave you an apologetic smile, to which you answered with one of yourown.

“It’s fine ! I’m just really, really glad you’rehere…” He gently stroked your hair, a small frown on hislips, seemingly not reassured by your comment.

“But still, I made you wait… I shall be all yours fromnow on ! You can make me do whatever you please— what is that ?” You were handing him a paper bag, inside of which was the mask you’dbought for him earlier. Your mischievous smile made him grin happily in histurn, and before you knew it, he’d opened it.

“It’s a gift I bought for you ! Do you like it ?” He was admiring the mask reverently, touching it with the utmost care,as if he were afraid to break it.

“It’s… absolutely perfect ! Well, anything from you isperfect anyway, but ! This is… !” He stopped a moment, clearly at aloss for words, then he put it on the side of his head with a smile. He wastrying his best to look composed, but his fingers were slightly trembling. Youeven had to help him, your fingers brushing against him and making him smileeven more. Once it was on, he leaned down to gently peck at your lips. Itlasted only a few seconds, but his cheeks were already red.

“T-The fireworks should start shortly, so I suggest wego and try to find a nice spot to watch them !” Younodded, and he looked a bit relieved. He didn’t even tense up too much when youtook his hand, instead stealing a glance at you and starting to smileuncontrollably when he noticed how happy you looked.

The locals seemed to know Chiaki, asa lot of people would smile to him or wave as he passed them by, and it madeyou acutely aware of how much people were looking at you too. They were mostlysmiling, their eyes falling on your jointed hands. Chiaki was still blushing,but bravely smiled back, even squeezing your fingers tighter. How cute…

You stopped on the way to buy somesweets, and as you were done, a sound suddenly caught your attention. Was that…crying ? More accurately, a child was crying. He looked like he was about threeor four years old, sobbing uncontrollably between two stalls. Chiakiimmediately spotted him and rushed to him, kneeling in front of him.

“Are you okay ? Did you get lost… ?” The child nodded, sniffing loudly. You quickly looked for a tissue, andhelped the poor little boy wipe away his tears. Chiaki sent you a worried gaze,then looked back to the child. He was visibly conflicted. Finally, he took ashaky breath.

“Do you mind if…” Youinterrupted him, smiling gently.

“Of course not ! Let’s help him find his parents.” Chiaki looked immensely relieved, and smiled shakily at you before hegently swooped up the boy in his arms. He seemed like he was used to it !

“Don’t cry, young boy ! We will help you find yourparents again ! I’m a hero, you know, so it’s nothing unusual for me !” The boy had calmed down a bit, and was staring at your boyfriend withwide eyes.

“You’re a… real hero ?” Chiakinodded fervently, before shooting you a meaningful look and adding in a boomingvoice :

“We’re both heroes, actually !”

“That’s true !” youchirped, nodding proudly. The child looked half-impressed, half-overjoyed atthe thought of meeting heroes, and Chiaki skillfully kept going, captivatinghis single-member audience fully.

“So you shouldn’t worry, alright ? We will definitelyfind your parents !” He kept reassuring the boy, addingin funny stories of his past hardships as a hero and soon enough, the child waslaughing in his arms, having completely forgotten about his parents. You justlooked at him with a happy smile. Chiaki seemed to be having a lot of fun too…

A sudden noise made you jump insurprise. That’s right, the fireworks… ! Chiaki immediately turned your way,panicked.

“I forgot, but we were supposed to go see the fire—”

“Hey, it’s alright ! I really don’t mind. Shouldn’t wemove away from them actually ? Isn’t the boy afraid of them ?” You and Chiaki looked over to the child, still cozily snug in Chiaki’sarms… and he was peacefully asleep against his chest, even drooling a bit overhim. You smiled at the sight, and Chiaki got a bit closer to your ear towhisper :

“Then let’s just stay here and watch ! We can stillsee them from here, look !” He was right : it was pretty crowdedhere, but at least you had a nice view of the night sky. The fireworks weregorgeous… You were so absorbed in your contemplation that you were surprisedwhen Chiaki shyly put his free arm around your waist, and you leaned your headagainst his shoulder. The night was so calm and peaceful…

“Oh my, isn’t your little boy a darling ?” A kind-looking old lady standing near you smiled at you, and Chiakisent you an embarrassed little smile. You felt your cheeks heat up a bit andshakily raised your voice.

“Oh, actually, this is—”

“He is, isn’t he ?” Chiakihad suddenly cut you off, and for a moment, you completely lost track of yourthoughts. Did he just… agree with her ? His cheeks were getting increasinglyredder, but he was smiling happily at the child snuggled up in his arms, like afather would.

“How nice, to be young and in love !” The old lady laughed and raised her head to admire the night sky again.You sneaked a glance at your boyfriend, who did exactly the same thing, and thetwo of you just exchanged a happy, if flustered smile.

Sure, you’d find the boy’s parentssoon enough but… maybe you could enjoy your evening for just a little bitlonger, beforehand. It’s okay to be a little bit selfish sometimes, right… ?

Natsume :

You were absorbed in yourcontemplation of the colorful paper lanterns lighting up the streets, notreally paying attention to the people going about. It was a warm and pleasantsummer evening, buzzing with excitement. Children were running about andlaughing, people were chatting… but Natsume looked strangely serene, when youran up to him.

“Natsume !” You jumped in his arms,hugging him tight. He chuckled and held you briefly, eyes twinkling withamusement.

“Did you really miss me that much ?I’m touched, little kitten.” You couldn’t help but smile when you noticed hereally had a dissonant air of calm about him, almost as if the overexcitedatmosphere wasn’t contagious to him. He casually slipped an arm around yourwaist, strolling lazily between the stalls and examining your every reaction.If you knew him any less than you did, you’d think he was used to festivals orjust very casual about them…

… but Natsume’s probably the one personyou know best. His eyes were constantly darting all over the place, and hiseyebrows were just a tiny bit furrowed. He never came here. It’s his first time,and as much as he was trying to guide you in the stall-lined streets, he justended up following the other people strolling about. You couldn’t help but feellike teasing him…

“Feels weird to finally get out ofyour room, huh ? How’s the outside world ?” He smirked in response, bringingyou a bit closer to him.

“I can still go back home, you know.”He said that in a light, teasing tone, but you wondered if he wasn’thalf-serious… You couldn’t help but sneak a glance at him, when he was notlooking. He did wear a yukata and was carrying a folding fan in his free hand,but he looked over-cautious. To you, it was painfully obvious he wasn’t feelingat ease here. Maybe he’s really the indoor-type…

His eyes widened subtly for just asecond when you gently took his hand, softly removing it from your waist tohold it in yours instead. The pressure of your fingers against his was warm andgentle, just enough to remind him you were there, with him.

“It’s all good, Natsume, I’m here”,you smiled to him. He immediately answered back with a smirk of his own, butyou did sense his confusion just moments ago.

“I do hope it is. I came here foryou, you know.” His golden eyes reflected the colorful lights from the paperlanterns, and for a moment you were lost deep inside them. They didn’t look nearly asteasing as they usually did and were instead much softer… Was that gratitude ?

Too soon, the usual Natsume was backthough, whispering snarky comments to make you laugh. You didn’t exactlydislike this Natsume, but… you also were curious about the one you caughtglimpses of, sometimes. The quieter, more emotional Natsume that hid behind hisusual witty façade. Today, you faintly felt his presence, as your boyfriendgently squeezed your fingers in his from time to time. A particularly insistentsqueeze brought you back to the real world, as he nodded towards a stall.

“If it isn’t thatone plushie you really wanted last time…” You gasped, suddenlyremembering it. This small cat plushie ! You’d seen it in a crane game lastweek ! Neither you nor Natsume could win it though, so you had to give it up…

“Ah, you’re right ! I still want itthough ! Come on, Natsume, win it for me… !” You were practically bouncing inexcitement, gripping your boyfriend’s hand tighter, and he chuckled. He didlove your childish side…

“Aren’t you a lucky one, kitten.Shooting games are one of my specialties.” You laughed at his comment, as he wasgetting his wallet and paying the stand owner.

“What isn’t ? You’re always so good ateverything you try”, you retorted teasingly. He smiled in response, but itlacked the usual slyness he had most of the time.

“I wish, kitten.” Another glimpse ofhis hidden self, but it disappeared with just a blink. The usual, smirkingNatsume was back, studying attentively the display with his air gun in hand.

“You’d better focus real hard,Natsume ! I really want this plushie, you know ?” He chuckled in response,already aiming. His eyes were calmly roaming about, catching every detail, and he looked sofocused already…

“You can count on me. I’m not goingto let it slip me right by another time.” And with that, he shot. You gaspedloudly : he really was good ! The targets fell one after the other, and he onlymissed one, although you could tell he was pretty annoyed at it. Once he wasdone, he gave the gun back to the owner with a smirk while you rushed to hughim tight.

“Hey, you’re so good ! I thought itwas just a bluff !” He shook his head at your comment, amused.

“I don’t make it a habit to backdown when it’s for you, you know.” Your attention was quickly caught by thestand owner, who was smiling at you.

“You definitely earned one of theprizes from here ! Which one do you want ?” Ah, he was showing the display inwhich the plushie you wanted was ! You pointed at it immediately.

“This kitty here, please !” Theowner took it from the display and handed it to you, and you couldn’t refrain ahappy little laugh. Natsume chuckled when you jumped in his arms, hugginghim so tight you might leave bruises.

“Thankyouthankyouthankyou ! Youreally did it ! Aaah, I’m so happy !” Natsume was about to tease you for beingso childish, but you kissed him right then and there, effectively making himshut up for the first time since you started dating him. He quickly got a hangof himself though, and broke the kiss soon enough.

“People are waiting, kitten. If youwant to do that sort of things, you’d better find a quiet place before.” Youcould tell he was serious though, so you quickly gripped his hand with a blush.Right now, there was nothing you wanted more than being alone with yourboyfriend…

Soon enough, you and Natsume hadfound a quiet little corner, not far from the nearby river. You were out ofbreath from all the kissing, but he wouldn’t stop, gently pushing you against atree and nibbling at your neck. He looked unusually serious today… There was noteasing, no smirks and no chuckles. He was just quietly longing for your warmth,eyes half-lidded as he kissed you over and over again. That is, until henoticed you were looking pointedly away.

“Could it be that you’re notsatisfied yet, kitten ? You’re distracted.” You blushed a bit but drew yourtongue at him in response, prompting him to kiss you a bit more roughly thistime.

“No, actually, I was looking at theriver… It’s really pretty, with all those lanterns.” Intrigued, he shot a lookat the river and his eyes widened a bit at the sight. Square lanterns weredrifting on the water, lit up by candles. It seemed like people were lightingthem up further away before putting them on the water… Your boyfriend’s lipsparted for a moment, but quickly closed.

“It is.” It was all he couldeventually say, surprising you a little. Was he moved by the beauty of thesight ? That thought made you smile lovingly, and suddenly, you had an idea.

“Do you want to go and light up alantern too ? These people must be getting them from somewhere”, you remarked,and he looked a bit surprised but nodded slowly.

“If you wouldn’t mind, then… By allmeans.” When you took his hand to guide him to the riverbank, it was grippingyours almost shyly, prompting you to giggle. It’s like you caught anotherglimpse of the quieter and shier Natsume…

You and your boyfriend got each alantern, and you were kneeling on the grass bed before the river, a sharpie inhand. “Looks like we have to write a wish inside before we light them up”, youcommented, lost in your thoughts.

What could you write… ? It’s prettyhard to come with a wish on the spot. Natsume looked just as deep in thoughtsas you were, then slowly started to write. You tried to sneak a glance, but heprotectively hid his lantern under his arms. When he realized it, he smirkedlightly, leaving you to chuckle. Secretive, isn’t he ?

Once you were done with your ownlantern, you lit up the candle inside. Natsume soon did the same, and the twoof you gently placed the lanterns on the rippling water. You were worried itwould just sink, but it floated instead, softly illuminating the river as itwent further away. You just sat there, watching as the lanterns drifted away,carried by the water. Your boyfriend looked so absorbed in his thoughts thatyou had to gently squeeze his hand for him to get back on earth.

“Come on, Natsume, our clothes aregoing to get dirty. Let’s move !” He nodded, helping you up. He did try to makea few sarcastic comments, as you were going back to the colorful andenthusiastic atmosphere of the festival, but you faintly felt he was feelingcontemplative tonight. He looked a bit more withdrawn than usual, too… Which is whyyou were surprised when he suddenly hugged you from behind, just before you gotback to the main area of the festival.

“Can I ask what you wished for ?” Hewhispered near your ear, making you shiver. You tried looking at him, but hehid his face in your neck, gently biting it as an excuse. Oh, but he wouldn’tfool you…

“It’s a secret ! If I tell you, itwon’t get true, you know~” You felt his lips curl into a small smile againstyour skin, but he didn’t insist. He seemed to be taking this whole wish thingvery seriously, which was uncharacteristic of him… “Well, I can tell youit’s something related to you though”, you added as an afterthought. You didn’treally say what exactly you wished for, so it shouldn’t count, right ?

Natsume just stayed silent a moment,arms unmoving around your shoulders. You closed your eyes, lettingyourself be swept by the moment. When your boyfriend finally answered, hisvoice was quieter than usual.

“I’m glad.” He kissed your neck onelast time, then your cheek, and finally the corners of your mouth. You turnedyour head sideway, trying to kiss him too, but he denied you with a littlechuckle. Now that you could see his face, his eyes were brighter than usual andlooked so much softer…

Before you could look at him formuch longer, he suddenly kissed you. Usually, he’s all teeth and tongue, buttoday he was oh so gentle. His hand even slowly cupped your cheek, stroking itsoftly with his thumb. You closed your eyes and melted into the kiss, losingtrack of time. It felt just right… Warm, safe and right.

When Natsume softly broke the kiss,you hugged him tight. You could faintly hear his heartbeat under his skin… andin the absolute silence surrounding you, the words he whispered in your earsounded so much louder.

“I don’t really believe in wishes, but Ithink mine just came true.”
