closed starter for @tinkrbell.
a weekend getaway to her father’s lake house sounded like the perfect remedy for the stressful week she’d had. wedding planning had already begun and it was definitely taking a toll on her. her brain had been busy figuring out what aesthetic they wanted, what flowers would look best, what catering company to go with, what flavour cake they should pick—the list was endless. there was so much fuss about something she still didn’t completely know she was ready for. she hopes this trip will help with that and that the fresh pine scented air would ease her mind a little. it won’t be all pleasure though, she knows she still needs to let the cat out of the bag and finally tell alex about the engagement. she’d been putting it off for some time, she was so worried about how he’ll react to it. briar chews nervously on her bottom lip as she thinks about it, palms getting sweaty at just the thought. she’s pulled out of her thoughts by her fiancé’s voice, their car pulling into the driveway of the house. alex’s car is parked next to them, the familiar sight of it bringing a smile to her face. they hadn’t seen nearly as much of each other since she got into this relationship and she felt guilty about it—she never wanted him to feel like anything but her priority. her partner parks the car and she jumps out, eyes settling on her bestfriend. “well howdy there, stranger!” she cooes, rushing up to him to wrap him in a tight bear hug. “was the drive down okay?”

Dark Elf Chapter 8: Unexpected Discoveries
Series: Dark Elf
Fandom: The Royal Romance
Pairings: Riley x Liam, Riley x Drake
Word Count: 1,213
Rating: NSFW
Warnings for this series: Lemons! 18+ only
A/N: Hahaha, this was completely unplanned and unexpected smut. The last two chapters were smut and I had not planned any more for several chapters but...well.... these characters just took the reins as they usually do lol. Enjoy!
My other stuff: Master List.
Tumblr media
Liam crashed through the door with wild eyed panic, “Riley! Drake! What have you done?”
He tried to make sense of the sight that greeted him. Riley and Drake sat on the floor in the middle of her room. She was completely naked. A discarded blade lay next to them, coated with blood. His eyes tracked over her perfect, unmarred flesh. There was no wound. Drake was clothed but seemed unharmed.
That didn’t change the fact that there was blood dripped on the floor between them and clinging to the dagger. The dress he had left for her mere hours ago lay in two separate halves on the other side of the room. But he didn’t need any of that to tell him something had happened. Something that had shifted the balance of power in the palace.
He had felt it.
It was what had sent him flying out of a council meeting and through the palace hallways, knocking servants aside as he ran.
As the ringing in his ears subsided, he realized anyone walking by in the hall could see in. He stepped into the room and closed the door behind him, trying to calm his breathing. “Could one of you please tell me what’s happening? What did I just feel?”
Riely scrambled to her feet and drew closer to him, eyes glittering with curiosity, “What did you feel halfling?”
“I…don’t know…it was like something was ripped away from me…” his eyes went to Drake, “and then I felt a new bond, a stronger bond snap into place but it wasn’t with me!” His eyes found Riley’s, wide with confusion and anger, “Why am I feeling things that happen to you and what the hell did you do to my spell breaker?”
“Ohhh, this is an unexpected development!” Riley cocked her head to the side, curiously. “You gave your blood willingly, and that gave me a tiny bit of your power, but a psychic bond that lasts beyond the act itself? That’s never happened before.”
Drake stumbled to his feet, holding his pants up with one hand since the fastenings had been ripped out. He stood behind Riley, facing Liam as he struggled with his own mixed emotions. “She said we could all stay together this way!”
Liam lifted his eyes to Drake’s face, then his gaze ran down to take in the torn clothing, and the other man’s position, at Riley’s side, not his. He froze as he scented the air.
They smelled of sex and blood.
Sex, blood, and something else. Something stronger. It’s why he hadn’t picked up on the sex and blood scent sooner. The smell of magic permeated the air.
Elven magic.
Shock and denial washed over him. “No!” She had used his own magic to steal Drake’s services right out from under him.
“I’m sorry, my darkling prince,” she purred as her hand reached out and ran down his chest, “but you should have bound him while you had the chance. All those wasted years.” She clucked her tongue sympathetically with a slow shake of her head.
“But I never thought—"
“That’s your problem,” she moved her still-naked body closer to him, her hand moving from his chest to snake through his hair, “Living with humans has made you soft. You shouldn’t have trusted him, and you shouldn’t have trusted me.”
“No,” Liam shook his head, “We’re friends, I didn’t need to force him—"
“You act like the bond is a thing that traps him. The bond between a spell breaker and their master keeps you both safe!”
“In what way?” Liam asked incredulously.
She scooted closer still so that their bodies were pressed firmly against each other. Her head tipped back to stare up into his eyes. “It would have prevented me from taking him, for starters.”
“You tricked me!” He tried to hold on to his indignation, but it was a losing battle. The more she touched him, the more the anger and sense of loss were pushed aside and replaced with a burning hunger so strong it made him weak.
“Stop,” he whispered as he made a feeble attempt to push her away.
“Why?” she challenged as her fingers pulled at the buttons of his Oxford shirt.
His eyes flicked back to Drake. “We can’t just—”
“We can.” She whispered as his shirt fell to the ground.
Drake shifted position, his eyes dropping quickly to the floor, but he betrayed no emotion about the scene unfolding before him.
Riley was naked and her skin flushed as she pulled Liam’s shirt deftly from his body. She raked her nails down his chest, leaving eight angry welts smeared with blood. “Look at me, not him.”
Liam’s onyx eyes went somehow even darker as he turned his gaze back to her. A cloud of lust filled magic misted into being in the air surrounding them. He sucked in a hiss of pleasure as his hand shot out and encircled her wrist, yanking her to him. All his reticence gone, he used his other hand to grab her by the hair and jerk her head back.
Riley laughed with delight as Liam attacked her with wild abandon. His mouth claimed every inch of her body, kissing, licking, sucking, and biting as his hands ran over her curves proprietarily. His voice was hoarse as he told her, “You’re mine, Riley! I’m responsible for bringing you here! I’m the one that placed the cuff on you! I tamed you, demon!”
“Am I tamed then, my prince?” She taunted as she made short work of his pants.
Her words only inflamed his passions higher. In one fluid motion, he swept her off her feet and tossed her onto the bed. Grasping a leg, he dragged her to the edge of the mattress with a growl. “Open your legs!”
She complied.
His fingers dug into her thighs hard, leaving angry black and blue blotches blooming across her pale flesh as he drove himself into her.
“Yes!” Her legs wrapped around him as her nails clawed fresh, bloody streaks across his shoulders and down his back. “Faster! Harder! Fuck me like you mean it!”
Her fangs slid out, and she buried her face in the side of his neck. A sharp thrill of pleasure and pain coursed through him as she drank deeply.
They came at the same time. Liam rammed himself into her and collapsed forward, his naked body pressed against hers, sweat and magic mingling together.
He rolled off her, panting as he stared up at the ceiling, trying to catch his breath. A low moan caught his attention and his eyes shot to Drake, whom he had all but forgotten. His former spell breaker had stood by and watched the entire thing.
Drake’s pants were tangled around his feet as his hand pumped his cock.
Their eyes locked.
Steams of hot, sticky liquid poured out of him and coated his fist as his body jerked forward, lips parted, breath ragged.
But it wasn’t Riley’s name that fell from his lips at the moment of release.
It was Liam’s.
Riley’s eyes tracked from the blissful, fucked out expression on Drake’s face to the stunned look of shock on Liam’s.
Then she threw her head back and laughed.

AHAHA WAIT yuki stealing the show again with a badass entrance i love it
DARK ON DARK TYPE HATE CRIMES /j LMAO I think it’s pretty common for deino to have relatively volatile personalities too so that’ll be really interesting but LMAOO reader catching deino out of necessity so it doesn’t trash their campsite is so funny Karasu comes back to like half their things a mess and a bunch of used quick balls on the floor like “what the fuck just happened” and readers like “I had to use ur quick balls to save the world teehee” I’m laughing so hard otoya would so do that nurse joy asks him to uncover and entire underground abuse black market scene and hes like “anything for you babygirl” meanwhile reader who stepped away to stock on potions comes back and is like “you agreed to WHAT”
The one thing yk I won’t forget is that gorgeous graphic it’s burned in my mind dw but swapping out houndoom for each main pokemon mmmm yes imagine lining them all up side by side after they’re done that would look so clean
NAH FR I’m pretty sure I read that shortly before we started talking I’m ngl that’s probably one of the bigger influences of me requesting fwtkac
SHSHSHS wait yeah I forgot that a good amount of people don’t know the concept of familial/platonic love dw we manifest pursuit will be THE piece to enlighten the community then they’ll all understand the wonders of non-romantic love
LMFAOAOA I forgot that’s one of the starter picking scenarios he would so be that professor (Niko saving his ass would be SO funny Niko coming in clutch in oaeu and pursuit)
Wait also kinda unrelated but pursuit got me thinking…so it’s set in kalos right…do you remember that one plot involving the zygarde zygotes (idr what they’re actually called) but iirc in the show too the gang carries around one of the zygotes only later it’s revealed that they come together to form zygarde imagine otoya picks one up eventually and hes like great another weird looking small cute useless thing until one day it turns into a zygarde and he finally gets his badass pokemon moment (idk if we’re keeping this game or show consistent so even if he doesn’t catch zygarde he’ll still get to battle alongside it maybe or sth)
LMAO wait you writing on your iPad is insane for some reason I imagined it being a computer…actually now that I think about it if you have one of those cases that flips into a keyboard that makes sense but whenever I type on the iPad screen keyboard my typos increase like tenfold and my speed drops to like zero idk why I just HATE the feel of it LMAOOO
Yeah I’m also very confused (as usual with jjk) so yeah seems like last chapter is a mission?? Wait I didn’t even register that in three days all the pain and suffering will come to an end guys what!!!! I did hear some people talking that there’s hints pointing to some form of a sequel and I’m just like HUHH but ig we’ll find out in like three days
I bet when aiku offered only to split the dessert Niko was like “I’m not getting paid enough for this shit”
HAHAHA Karasu the only home wrecker I’ll accept I’m gonna miss the aikulations /hj but VERY EXCITED LMAOO Reo said “no I don’t want otoya cooties” or imagine alternatively we get evil team v Reo with “I don’t take advice from anyone shorter than me” LMFAOOOO
IM FR EATING JT ALL UP like what’ll Mira put out next/whats gonna happen next week I’ve said this a bunch before but your world building/development skills>>>>> makes the whole story a lot more fun to read and a lot more immerse esp for me personally I end up visualizing everything fr like an episode of a show in my mind so I love all the little details and Easter egg like things too!! You might think I’m kinda insane but I think esp because I’ve been slowly watching the bllk dub version whenever Barou was like “you fucking donkey” I read it in his dub voice LMFAOO
SHDSHSHA no it’s ok this way people get to marinate with their thoughts of s2 and then once you open them back up you’ll get the best of the best ideas that have been brewing in peoples minds and have been given time to age and develop!!!! Idk how you keep track of so many if it were me I’d probably end up replying to the wrong one LMAO
- Karasu anon
YUKI ALWAYS COMING IN W THE BADASS ENTRANCES omg wait imagine karasu’s inspired to get a ground type after seeing steelix in action against electric types and that’s why he’s so quick to grab gible
if you think about it the entirety of pursuit is just dark on dark hate crimes LMAOOO between the houndoom v houndoom battle, houndoom and deino disagreements, and literally all of barou’s team it’s fr just dark types going insane FJDJDHSJ okay wait it would be funny if he got mad at her but lowkey in my mind he’s like really worried at first maybe because she lowkey had to chase the deino?? so he gets back and the campsite is trashed and she’s nowhere to be found and he’s like uhh wtf and freaks out until she comes like “look at my new pokémon karasu 😄” AHAHAH that’s his first experience with reader just randomly going missing/dying…wait because the way i just went on an entire rant about how they’re strictly platonic/familial but now i kind of need him ☹️ i need to get back to thinking of more nagi scenes or else i’m going to swerve JFDJDJJS
HELP THAT’S EXACTLY THE VIBE TOO since in kalos the pokémart and pokémon center are in one building it’s even funnier because she’s literally at the checkout line and she overhears him and she’s like HELLO ⁉️ AT LEAST GET TULLIA AND KARASU TO COME THEY’RE THE ONES WITH SOMEWHAT FULL TEAMS 😰 but tullia and karasu are up to smth (ZERO idea what) so it’s truly reader otoya froakie and houndour against the world…the craziest part is that they’re actually successful LMAOOO I LOVE THEM truly a dumbass x dumbass chemical reaction (this scenario is def also a plus one to the karasu freak out tally JFDJDJSJ he and tullia get back to the pokémon center and are like “where are y/n and otoya???” and nurse joy’s like “busting a pokémon abuse ring for me 🥰” insert many expletives from our fave baby crow who immediately freaks out and goes to collect them only to find them just chilling because by that point they’ve already managed to bust the ring so it’s like nbd)
AHAHA I DO LOVE THE PURSUIT GRAPHIC IT’S SO PRETTY i think it would be fun to have the diff pokémon there for the side stories esp because they all have pretty sprites for their art since most of them are from the earlier gens when the art was still really good 🥹 omg i’ll def make a compilation of all of the headers too that would def be top ten most aesthetic m1ckeyb3rry posts LMAOO
FRRR like yes we’ve got this dramatic amazing slowburn going on with nagi but at the same time our friendships with tullia karasu and even otoya are so important to the story?? as well as the barou x reader cousin bond…considering how many people loved the gojo and reader bond in pomegranate ink i think barou and reader are def safe it’s just people mighttttt swerve to karasu especially because i like him as a character so i’ll definitely glaze him when i write him vs otoya won’t get quite the same treatment HAHAHAAH (love him too but he’s very bullyable so he gets to be menaced by tullia instead)
IMAGINE AIKU GETTING CHASED INTO A TREE BY A ZIGZAGOON LIKE PROFESSOR BIRCH 😭😭😭 and then niko has to save him…actually aiku lowkey gives professor birch hold on
Tumblr media Tumblr media
wait this is too good I’M CRYINGGG old age did my man aiku dirty (this is def making it into its own post i’m sobbing at this)
i’ve considered adding legendaries into pursuit especially because xerneas is one of my fav legendaries but for some reason i feel like it takes away from the feel of the verse?? it’s meant to be a bit of a different look at the pokémon world while not getting too crazily violent like some au’s do and since the legendaries are meant to be gods i think that IF they appear it’ll be very awe inspiring and terrifying…lowkey otoya does kinda look like zygarde if i was assigning legendaries he’d def have zygarde, nagi would have mew, karasu would have zekrom, reo would have suicune, chigiri would have zapdos, tullia would have cresselia, reader would have rayquaza (just based on her team’s vibes…going off of hers alone she’d probably have like diancie or shaymin or smth)
FJFJSJSJ YES I HAVE A KEYBOARD CASE i do have a laptop as well but it’s windows since most programs run better on windows and i write on apple pages so i can also write on my phone in a pinch which is why i have to use my ipad!! i used to use my laptop and google docs but in 2021ish i got my ipad w the keyboard case because it’s easier to carry around and fit into bags than a whole laptop…google docs is kinda glitchy and crashes a lot (there’s also a lot of ai rumors w them but idk how true those are so they didn’t impact my decision) especially once documents get longer and you know how much i write (i had to split pomegranate ink into three separate google docs) so i switched to pages in 2023!! i actually really like it much more than google docs i’d say…the customization options are much more fun and accessible and it runs way nicer without freaking out. but it does mean i can’t use my laptop to write sadly 😓💔 for a month my laptop was getting repaired so i had to borrow my uncle’s which is a macbook and it was SO NICE being able to write on my phone, laptop, or ipad as i chose but sadly all good things come to an end and now i’m back to my ipad and phone alone (i love my ipad though it’s super fun and functional that’s also where all of my silly diagrams are sketched out and notes are scribbled before outlines get upgraded to notion so it is nice having everything on one device for sure!!)
i feel like there must be a sequel there’s so many weird things that have been introduced in the last few chapters??? like that random ass old lady idk 😭 can’t believe we might have jjk boruto…tbh idek if i’ll read it if so because i’m very much not into the story arm 😓 ig i’ll probably learn what’s happening in it by osmosis/tik tok but anyways…we’ll see what happens ig
HAHAHA we still get aikulations in the nagi version, the yukimiya version, and ofc aiku’s own version 🤩 otoya reo and karasu do not have any aiku povs though sadly ☹️ but he’s still there still goofy and still keeping things silly so it’s all good
STOPP I’M BLUSHING for me i can clearly envision the scenes i’m writing in my mind like SUPER SUPER clearly as if i’m watching it happen in a show so i’m not writing or coming up with something new i’m just describing what i’m seeing in my head?? maybe that’s where the immersive feel comes from either way i’m glad it’s coming through!! and i’m actually thinking about dropping something very special tonight hehehe you might go crazy when you see it (no promises though so if you see this and are like “what is she talking about” i either fell asleep or chickened out)
HAHA it’s def a lot but i do love hearing everyone’s ideas!! depending on my mindset once everything’s cleared i might keep things shut for a bit so i can get back to working on my long fics…bllk fandom cannot think my max capacity is 41k words w bfb LMAOOO LET ME REACH THAT DELICIOUS 200K WORD RANGE AGAIN PLEASEEEE LFJSKDKSK anyways we will see how things go ig!! taking it day by day…i have a really good mix of characters in my inbox so i’m excited to write literally whatever strikes my fancy at the moment 😈

[OM!] Demon Brothers panic-buy MC a last-minute birthday present
Prompt: You drop the fact that your birthday is in a few days, much to the demon brothers’ surprise. They don’t have a gift for you prepared-- panic ensues.
Note: gender neutral; :) i just like seeing them get flustered
--
Lucifer
“Ah, your birthday? Of course I knew. You thought I didn’t?”
He didn’t know-- not until you told him just then a mere DAYS before your birthday
Internally panicking but he will NOT have you know that he missed this rather important detail
Casually asks you in the next few days if you’re free to go out with him because “he wants to spend more time with you--” which he DOES but he has ulterior motives such as hoping you’d point out something you like when you go out so he can gift it to you
Will watch your movement and gestures like a hawk trying to gauge what sort of present you would want from him
Money isn’t really a concern of him; he just wants to make sure that his gift is something you actually want and is thoughtful enough
If he’s unlucky and you are in fact NOT free in the few days leading up to your birthday, he paces a lot in his room, trying to remember if there was something you mentioned from a past conversation because he has too much pride asking you what you would want for your birthday
...but eventually caves in and asks his other brothers (probably Asmo or Beel) what they think you would like because his love for you >>> his pride
He has seared your birthdate into his mind now because he’d rather not have a repeat of whatever happened this year
--
Mammon
“Your birthday? Hahaha of COURSE I knew your birthday was in a few days… IN A FEW DAYS--?!”
He blurts this out but you tell him it’s fine but he won’t have it
He’ll try to cover it up, pretending he knew, but he sucks at lying and the fact he suspiciously walks out of your room to find a quick job listing to get enough money for a present is telling enough
First ideas most likely include rummaging in his room for anything valuable or shiny that you could possibly want
Considers giving you his car for a second in his panic but realizes you’d probably freak out at the extremely extravagant present
Will definitely try to snoop in his brothers’ rooms in search of things and collectively tells them (and makes them panic) about your birthday as well
Eventually sucks it up and works at Hell’s Kitchen, literally diving underneath counters and tables to avoid having you see him working
Terrible at making excuses to you about where he is so you probably know he’s working, and he feels bad that he has to avoid hanging out with you-- but he loves you and this is for you, after all, so he bears it
Buys you something he finds value in and thinks would like nice if you wore it; after all, the Avatar of Greed wants the best he can afford for you
--
Leviathan
You tell him your birthday is coming up soon while he’s playing something and the only thing he says first is “oh nice”
Then he realizes
“YOUR BIRTHDAY IS WHEN??”
He died on the screen, which you point out, but his eyes are wide and a little pleading
Asks you directly what you want for your birthday and he will literally search it up for you on Akuzon right there and then (it’s wild seeing online shopping on several screens)
“How about this one? Wait, no-- that’s terrible quality and the reviews are horrible; let’s check out this one.”
Makes you tell him everything you could have possibly wanted in the past few months so he can compile a list of things he can search up and select from
If he’s manic for the next few days, know that he hasn’t been gaming (has not since you dropped this very important detail) but has been vigorously searching up all the online shopping sites he can find to get the things you wanted down to its detail and quality
Definitely enlists his online friends for recommendations, but regardless will buy you matching gaming headset on top of whatever you wanted because he wants you to know you’re his Player 2, even if you don’t game
All the presents come on the same day (Mammon grumbles that it’s blocking the walkway) and he shoos you away as he carts everything up to his room to wrap it
Wishes he had more time to make you a present instead of buying something but hey there’s always next year
--
Satan
“O-Oh. Your birthday is in a few days, huh?”
Satan stares at you for a few moments too long as if he wants to say something but decides against it and gives you a benign conversation starter like “You must be excited for another year done”
Inwardly, he’s trying to calculate in his head when he has time to research for things you want, if going on a cat cafe date is too indulgent to be a gift to you, if he should just ask you what you want for a present-- all while holding a conversation with you
Not a great conversation, mind you-- you can tell he’s a little preoccupied, but you’re more worried about how his sentences trail than anything
Pops up randomly in the next few days in your room just to chat, looks around your room, and then leaves again (like a cat)
He’s trying to find a present that you’d want to use-- something practical-- but also something you’d also enjoy having (he’s setting up high standards, but he wants his gift to be good enough for you)
Low-key stressing a lot over this that he’s a little distracted at all times
Ends up combining all his gift ideas by setting up a date for you to spend some quality time with him AND buy your gift when the two of you are together AND has a gift ready for you just in case nothing catches your fancy on your date (he is anything if not prepared for all scenarios)
The gift he gets you is something he’d think you’d enjoy or reminded him of you (and hopes for the best)
--
Asmodeus
“WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME EARLIER?”
Asmo is almost offended that you didn’t tell him about your birthday-- how is he supposed to set up a extravagant birth week celebration if your birthday is in a few days?
But no matter-- he’s not that discouraged and is determined to rock your socks off with a present anyways, even though he would have definitely had your birthday celebration as a tag for the entire month if he had the time (now it’s only a week-long trending tag, but he’ll make do)
Will definitely coyly offer up himself as a present (and if you say yes, he will be at your mercy) but thinks he has more creativity that than to make you special day great
Takes you on a shopping spree where he dresses you up in the fanciest of clothes and things that you have always adored and refuses to let up until you let him buy you a gift
On the day of your birthday, he offers up his room as an entire spa day-- pedicure, manicure, whatever-cure you would ever want! Massage, face mask, bubble bath-- if there’s anything that can let him show how much he appreciates you, then tell him! He is at your mercy today!
Takes you out on a spin in town, buying you drinks and dancing with you at clubs if that’s what you want; but the night is yours, hun!
Beelzebub
You tell him when he’s eating something and his face morphs from surprised, delight, to sadness
“I… didn’t get you a present yet…”
You reassure him that it’s completely okay, but you know your words aren’t working because he still has that forlorn expression that reminds you of a kicked puppy
Asks you directly what you would want and if you tell him he’d be more than happy to get whatever it is you requested, even if it’s a physical gift or if you want to spend the entire day with him
It is your birthday and he already feels bad for not being able to really prepare for it properly, so he’ll do anything he can to make you happy
If you don’t tell him what you want, you better be strong enough to resist looking into his eyes to not cave into just telling what you want
Eventually settles on giving you something thoughtful and quickly hand-made-- like a set of coupons that say things such as ‘I will do your chores for a week’ or ‘I will make you dinner’
The coupon book has a lot of food-related things than anything, but you know his love language is basically food-- he loves you lots, okay?
Other than that, he’s super indulgent to you on your birthday. You want a lift? No problem. You want him to carry you bridal style to school? Sure, he can’t see why not!
--
Belphegor
“Wait, seriously? You waited until NOW to let me know?”
Kind of annoyed about the fact you dropped this detail on him now and decides to immediately punish you by trapping you in his embrace in a forced snuggle even while you laugh (so honestly, you have no regrets)
Tells you he’s not getting you a present
He’s getting you a present though, regardless of what he says, but now he has the element of surprise on his side (assuming you believe that he’s not getting you something)
Hangs out with you per usual in the next few days, paying more attention to what you would want in a present and asking low-key questions about possible gift ideas-- he’s real sneaky about it, so you honestly won’t pick up on it at all
Goes out of his way to help you study and help you out because it is your birthday, after all, and he’s pretending like he didn’t get you a present
Probably casually drops off a gift at your desk on your birthday, and if you’re surprised, he’s a little smug-- but if you’re not, he’ll be a little embarrassed but will tell you to just ‘open the present already’
Gift is most likely to be something that he’s noticed that you have continually needed but never had the thought or time to get-- just to make your life a little easier
Tells you to go nap with him as compensation for the work he’s done trying to think up of a gift for you

Prooooompt!! When Sev gets bullied by a group of kids, James is forced to look back and confront his own past behaviour. --- I'd love it if Sirius and Remus are there, too, and I'd love for Lily to get angry at some point. I kind of see this happening during the time where Sev and James' relationship is not so good (which is a very ample period of time, lol), but feel free to modify the idea as you want.
Thanks so much for this prompt, I really loved it! Wish I could've managed to include everything, but I'm delighted you still liked it so much.
Also, shout-out to @evilbeanghost for reading it beforehand and helping me see I was fretting over nothing, hahaha. Thanks, dear.
Also on AO3.
Looking in the Mirror
I. First Warning
It happens during his first week at school and Severus is paralysed by terror as he waits by the headmaster’s door. His fears are confirmed when not only Lily but James, too, turn the corner. He is in big trouble. For starters, he had no idea they would call any parents after just one fight. In addition, he has thrown the first punch, so the bruise blossoming on his own cheek had been written off as self-defence and he is the only one facing serious consequences.
He wants to cry. He wants to run. Instead, he digs his trembling fingers in the wooden bench. As soon as Lily is close enough, she crouches down. Her fingers brush against his unscathed cheek.
“Oh, Sev, what happened?”
“I reckon it’s pretty obvious,” James snaps coldly, stopping just behind her.
She glares back, but there is no time to do anything else as the door opens and the headmaster welcomes them. Only the adults, so Severus keeps waiting.
They are in the office for a really long time, enough that his need to cry passes and he starts feeling numb. He startles when they finally come out. Lily’s face is tauter than before, but James is strangely relaxed —hands in his pockets and hardly sparing him a glance.
“We’ll let you off with a warning this time, Mr Snape,” the headmaster’s booming voice warns him from the door. “Don’t let it happen again.”
He shakes his head silently, but then finds Lily’s eyes fixed on him and his stomach churns.
“I won’t, sir.”
There is a hand on his shoulder and they walk out like a perfect family. Severus tries not to think about it.
Their usual Apparating spot is near the school and yet, Lily makes an effort to get his side of the story before getting home. She is frustrated, as is James, but Severus does not let it get to him. He is not going to tell, he is no telltale.
Of course, Sirius is home when they get back —the man practically lives there and neither James nor Lily seems to mind.
“What was the matter, then?”
“Snape got into a fight,” answers James in a pretty conversational tone. Severus knows to spot the danger at moments like this, though.
“Did he kill someone? That why you had to go get him?” Sirius smirks, bouncing Harry up and down to the latter’s delight.
“It’s not funny, Sirius,” Lily cuts in.
There is certainly an edge to her voice and so, even if she has been safe so far, Severus steps back, putting some distance between him and the others.
“C’mon, Lils, you can’t be surprised.”
Her scathing look manages to shut James up and Severus is more than a little nervous when he follows her upstairs.
She heals him before asking any questions. Her tenderness is so great that his eyes well up with tears.
“I know it stings. It’ll pass soon,” she reassures him, breaking the fantasy that maybe, just maybe, this could be his mother fixing him up when it is merely a bruise.
“What happened, Sev?”
The question finally comes once they are done and have been sitting in silence for a little while.
“You know what happened,” he replies, stubborn, because he is sure the headmaster has not held back the details.
“Perhaps, but I’d like to hear it from you.”
He looks away to show his defiance —to avoid her disapproving frown.
“I started it,” he says, and waits.
Her only reaction is a sigh. She cups his face, forcing him to make eye contact. She no longer looks upset, but there is an intensity in her gaze he has no clue how to read.
“There must’ve been a reason, though.”
After a pause, the next words fall from his lips without his permission.
“I don’t wanna go to school. I– I can just learn here! I promise I’ll be good and do everything you say.”
He tries to plead with his eyes the way he has read in books, but he must not be very good at it because she sighs again and smiles the slightest bit.
“School isn’t a punishment. It might be hard at first, but it’ll get better. You’ll make friends, you’ll see, but you can’t resort to violence. No more fights, okay?”
II. Suspension
He has tried hard to keep his promise to Lily, he really has, but those pricks will not leave him alone. His blood boils every time they laugh at him and, when one of them has snatched his homework, he has seen red. This time, he has not even given them a chance to hit back. And so, now he is once again waiting outside Headmaster Wright’s office.
He stiffens when only James turns the corner. He keeps looking for Lily —surely she will be right behind—, but no one else shows up. James strides towards him and there is no mistaking his annoyance even from far away. The glare he spares him before knocking on the door is short-lived, but so intense it burns.
Shortly after, James comes out, closing the door behind him.
“You’re suspended. A week.” He does not even look at Severus, biting out the words in a way that makes the temperature around them drop several degrees.
Severus starts to tremble.
“It wasn’t my fault.” For some reason, he cannot help defending himself. “They–”
James’s head whips around all of a sudden, startling Severus so badly he forgets for a moment he is sitting. The back of the chair stops him from moving away as James gets in his face, so close the boy can see every pore on his skin.
“I don’t want to hear it. I don’t care. I don’t want to be called here ever again because you can’t get a grip on your anger. You’d better make sure this is the last time, understood? I won’t allow a violent punk in my home.”
James does not raise his voice beyond a whisper, but Severus nods energetically all the same. James is neither annoyed nor upset right now, he is angry. There are several seconds of absolute stillness and there is no way to guess how James will react if he decides not to believe him. Finally, though, the man straightens up.
“Let’s go,” he says, his tone still cold.
Side-Apparition with James leaves him feeling queasier than usual and only the strong grip on his arm stops him from leaning forward and dry heaving. James does not let go of him as soon as they reach the house. Instead, he leads him to the garden room, where Harry is having a flight session with Remus and Sirius. Remus looks concerned, but Sirius just looks irked by his presence. Almost instinctively, Severus longs to hide behind James, before remembering that the man is not feeling very favourable towards him at the moment. At last, his arm is free.
“What now?”
“He got suspended for attacking another student,” James replies curtly, already going to Harry.
Sirius whistles.
“Suspended in your first month, what an accomplishment. These Muggles don’t muck around, do they?”
“What happened, though? There must be more to it,” Remus intervenes, echoing Lily’s sentiment. It makes Severus look down.
“Are you justifying violence, Moony?” Sirius asks, teasing, but James cuts him off.
“What d’you say, Snape? Any reason why you had to beat up a classmate?”
James’s tone leaves no doubt about the right answer to his question, so Severus shakes his head, still not lifting his eyes.
“Well, it doesn’t matter because it won’t happen again, right?”
There is a ringing in his ears and he thinks about consequences and learnt lessons. This time, he forces himself to choke out an answer.
“No, sir.”
III. Final Straw
Severus feels like he cannot breathe. Somehow, he is on the same chair, all alone again, nearing the end of the first term. Now that Lily has got a job as an editor at The Practical Potioneer, he knows who will come to pick him up. It has hardly been his fault this time, but he is the only repeat offender, so while the others have been let off with a warning, he is facing expulsion. The headmaster has said as much.
He has wanted to beg to skip school for weeks now, because he was afraid something like this would happen. At first, he had refused to let them win, putting up with their insults and occasional incidents —nothing serious, just tripping him on his way to class or trying to stick gum in his hair. Things have started to escalate after they had realised he was avoiding them, though. Occasional had turned into frequent and Severus had been left with making up excuses for coming back home with stained clothes or a teacher’s note complaining about not turning in his homework.
He has borne all of this and, in the end, it has been for nothing. A couple of tears roll down his face and he hurries to wipe them. Crying has only ever managed to anger his father further.
He knows it is pathetic to fight so hard to stay where he is not wanted. He is not a little kid anymore, he can fend for himself. And yet, he is terrified of getting kicked out and ending in an orphanage or on the streets, where he would freeze to death. James had been very clear on this matter, though. Besides, he must be eager to punish him properly, since last time Lily arrived and decided that a lecture and boredom were enough punishment.
James has him waiting in the lonely corridor for a long time and, when he finally shows up, he is accompanied by Harry. Despite his urge to hide, Severus forces himself to look up. He will face whatever comes, it is the only thing left for him to do.
------------
James is fed up, both with the brat and with this situation. He respects that Dumbledore and Lily feel responsible, but neither is coming to pick up the lad early for the third time, are they? He does not like the bitterness of the voice that whispers these ideas in his head, even less so regarding Lily, but part of him wishes he could just tell the school to solve the bloody problem without involving him.
Snape is sitting on his usual chair, staring. He does not care that he has upended their lives, that much is clear. Today, though, he looks worse for wear. He has got a black eye and a split lip and one of his hands is mostly covered in purple. Absent-mindedly, James wonders if the other parents have already picked up their children. This looks like the result of a proper fight rather than one of Snape’s outbursts.
James stares back coldly, thinking about what he can say, but nothing comes to mind. In the end, he adjusts Harry on his hip and knocks on the headmaster’s door before entering. Whereas the first conversation went on for longer than necessary due to Lily’s questions and Wright’s complaints, their second meeting was much shorter. James agreed that Snape had a bad temper, blamed it on the story they had spun about him being Lily’s recently orphaned cousin and only asked about the length of the suspension. However, he can already feel this third meeting will not be as quick.
After a few pleasantries, Wright rants on about how they cannot tolerate this kind of violent demeanour, about how Snape likes defying authority, has a habit of lying and makes no effort to integrate. James already knows all of this —he grew up with the prick—, but lets the man get it off his chest. Harry is standing next to his chair, refusing to let go of his hand while looking around with eyes full of curiosity.
“So, what happened this time? I know his behaviour isn’t the best, but it’s been a while since the last fight.” His own question almost surprises him, but he reasons that Lily will demand an explanation about what the other boys got for beating Snape up.
“Well, apparently, he insulted some of his classmates without provocation and, when they confronted him, he threatened them with a pocket knife.” The headmaster puts the blade on the table with a dramatic flourish and James’s eyes go wide. “I’m guessing you didn’t know he owned one of these.”
“No, no… We had no idea.”
James swallows, his irritation fading away. This is more serious than he had thought. They have let someone dangerous get near their son.
“Well, the others got scared and saw no option but to defend themselves.”
“I see…” James mumbles, his eyes and thoughts still fixed on the sharp object.
He picks up Harry and settles him on his lap, where he can hold him close. It is understandable that the other boys would be afraid, but something does not sound right. James cannot quite put his finger on it.
“He’s been punched in the face, though,” he says, remembering the swollen lip. “Who’d punch someone who’s holding a knife? I assume that happened afterwards.”
Wright looks at him in confusion and James cannot help frowning. The more he thinks about it, the more he is certain he is missing something. Why the hell did Snape carry a pocket knife to school?
“How have you punished the other party?” he asks without preamble.
“Well, it’s their first offence this term, so–”
“Second, it’s their second one. Severus had a bruised cheek the first time.”
“Forgive me, Mr Potter, but how do you know they’re the same boys?”
James opens and closes his mouth like a gaping fish, feeling as stupid as one. He does not know because he has not asked. Unconsciously, he has pictured a fight of four against one and it is always the same four boys in his mind.
Resolute, he is suddenly sure of what he must do.
“You’re right, we should ask Severus.” Not waiting for an answer, he gets up, taking Harry with him, and opens the door.
Snape scrambles to his feet as soon as he sees him, taking half a step back. James breathes in deeply, willing himself not to feel irked. He reckons emotions are running high on both sides.
“Get in, we want to talk about what happened.”
Snape looks at him warily, but says nothing as he obeys. James points at one of the chairs and takes a seat on the other one. Harry tries to squirm out of his arms —as soon as he is put on the floor, he crawls towards the older boy and uses his legs to stand up. Snape’s attention, however, is fixed on the blade. ‘Good,’ James thinks.
“Mr Snape, your cousin and I want to hear from you what happened.”
Snape glances sideways for the briefest instant. When he looks back down, he finds Harry attempting to climb onto his lap. James would like to reach out and take his son away, but chooses to wait —Snape will turn him down soon enough.
Instead, though, Snape lets him grab his hands. At once, Harry pushes himself up and there is no option but to help him. The toddler is now securely on his lap, but the silence stretches nevertheless.
“Snape, speak up, is it true you provoked your classmates and pulled a knife on them?” insists Wright.
Snape nods ever so slightly. This should be it, but James still has questions.
“Are these the same lads that punched you during the first week?”
Big black eyes turn to him and, after a long moment, the lad offers another small nod.
“What about the incident that led to your suspension? Were they involved as well?”
It seems Snape has finally picked up on his intentions, because he blushes and shifts his attention to Harry.
“Doesn’t matter.”
“Headmaster, were you aware there’s been a group of students targeting Severus for months?” James asks, trying to keep his inner turmoil out of his voice.
“I don’t think that’s–”
“No one’s targeting me!” interrupts Sev– Snape.
“Don’t yell,” James scolds and turns back to the headmaster, waiting for an answer.
“The boy’s got a nasty temper,” Wright says, placating. “I understand you’d like to blame it on someone else, but these are good students. We’ve never had these issues with them. Surely, they’ve been provoked to reach this point.”
James’s own temper rises and he forces himself to swallow down the anger that threatens to take over. He reminds himself Snape is no saint —he does not even like the git.
“Sn– Severus, tell us what happened. From the start.”
He half expects Snape will refuse to speak the way he has done every time —half expects the lad will kick up a fuss. And yet, he is solely focused on Harry, who is playing with the buttons on his shirt. Despite the long pause and the headmaster’s obvious impatience, no one interrupts. At last, Snape takes a shuddering breath and starts talking, so low James has to strain to hear.
“They found me in the toilets and wouldn’t let me out. When I tried to get past them, they… they pushed me and I fell. I hit the sink, split my lip.” Severus peeks up at him and, for some reason, James feels completely inadequate, like he has no clue what expression he should be wearing. “I, um… I– I took out the pocket knife. I swear I wasn’t gonna use it, just wanted them to leave me alone,” he keeps on, with urgency and a tremor in his voice. “But, uh, I was down and I couldn’t… One of them stepped on my hand and another one threw a punch to teach me a lesson.”
There is no mistaking the shame in his words or on his face as he looks away from James.
“The school nurse has already checked him,” Wright hurries to assure. “She said nothing’s broken, just bruised.”
Not for the first time, James thinks he may be the only sane person in the room. How the bloody hell is that supposed to make it sound better?
“No teacher saw the incident, either, so it’s his word against theirs,” Wright continues, believing James’s incredulity to be an invitation to keep talking. “And he hasn’t complained before, so it sounds awfully convenient. Of course, his repeated offences and especially the pocket knife are grounds enough to expel him.”
James opens his mouth to protest, but closes it right away. When he thinks about it, the idea of getting Severus to remain enrolled at that school is not appealing, not when there are some bullies no one cares to stop. He gets up, picking up Harry, who protests.
“Of course,” he parrots, trying to channel an icy sort of politeness. “Let’s go, Severus.”
Neither says another word as they leave the school, but James notices the look of alarm on Snape’s face when they walk past their Apparition point.
“We’re flying today,” is all he says. It gets him a nod.
First, though, he needs to stop somewhere and think. Thus, as soon as he spots a fancy-looking café, he ushers the children inside. He orders three chocolate milkshakes when Severus says he does not want anything.
They still do not speak. James is busy helping Harry drink using the straw, but when he lifts his head, Snape has not touched his milkshake. The lad catches his gaze and glares.
“Are you dropping me off after this?”
“Dropping you off? Where?” James asks back, confused.
“At the orphanage,” he retorts, keeping up his defiant act. Any other day, it could have fooled him.
“You aren’t going to the orphanage, lad. After this, we’re all going home.”
“You said you’d kick me out if they called you again. And I got myself expelled.”
James is about to argue he did not say such a thing when another idea comes to mind. He remembers Snape’s meekness back in the headmaster’s office and his face when he had finally recounted the tale. There is more to it than wounded pride.
“Is that why you didn’t say anything about the bullying? Because you were afraid I’d kick you out?”
“I ain’t bullied! I can fight back!” The lad’s reaction is so strong that he nearly spills his drink. It does not seem to register, though.
“Lower your voice,” James chides, trying to keep the frustration out of his voice. “Fighting back has nothing to do with this.” Severus keeps glaring, but he looks so young that James cannot bring himself to feel truly annoyed. “How long have they been bothering you?”
He hopes against hope the lack of fights is partially due to things calming down for a time. Yet, Severus’s embarrassment confirms his worst fears.
“Since the beginning,” he mumbles after a few seconds, looking down and slightly huddling up, as if this admission could set James off.
James can only sigh. There is an emptiness in the pit of his stomach and the sight of his milkshake is starting to make him feel nauseous. In the meantime, Harry has managed to get chocolate stains all over.
“I’m sorry.” Difficult as it is, he forces the words out, because there is not much else he can say.
Severus’s shock is expected and, suddenly, James is too tired to keep up this conversation. He remembers taunting a boy his age, unconsciously knowing it was safe —there was nothing at stake for him. He remembers telling the girl he liked he would stop if she agreed to go out with him, because everything was just a game. He remembers seeing a black eye not long ago and thinking the brat must have done something to deserve it.
“What for?”
The quiet question breaks his bleak train of thought. When he looks up, Severus is very still and his shock has melted into a sort of tentative confusion.
“For not listening,” James settles on saying. He tries to convey with his gaze every feeling he cannot describe aloud. “I will do better from now on, I promise.”

Hello! I absolutely LOVE your Balkan!MC AU 😆 (and your writing in general). If it’s not a bother, could you write some dorm leader relationship headcannons with a gender neutral Balkan!MC? You can include holidays and other traditions too if you want, go wild! (Also if you don’t want to do it it’s totally fine, thanks a bunch in advance anyway ❤️)
AAAAAA I'm so glad to hear Balkanoid MC is loved ❤️❤️❤️ As you know, the Balkans are so diverse and at the same time, it is not. I thought about what could be added here for the dating part. You might know the stereotypical behaviour of Albanian, Bosnian and Turkish older brother/father and I'm unsure if it's the same for the rest of the Balkans. I tried to something from each of them and the things we all can agree coffee=date
Anon is talking about this Balkan MC, Part 2 and Part 3: Starter Pack
You can join the discord server :D:D 
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Riddle Rosehearts
Riddle and (Y/N) have been dating for a short time. During the weekend, they have convinced Riddle to go into the village for their date. After Trey promised to take care of the Heartslabyul while he is gone, Riddle agrees to go on a date outside. They go to a semi-fancy restaurant.
"Can I get the check, please? Riddle? What are you doing?" - "I'll pay for my share." - "No I'll pay both." - "That's unnecessary" - "I'll pay! This is Balkan way!"
After hearing Balkan way a number of times, Riddle decided to let go. He doesn't like the idea of them paying for both but he didn't want to argue. Despite that the check is higher than they expected, (Y/N) happily pays for both. They will make Riddle get used to them paying both of their date expenses in the future.
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
Leona Kingscholar
(Y/N) and Leona have been dating for some time. Their relation has been chill until Leona said that his brother wants to meet the person he's dating. (Y/N) choked on the air at that moment. This moment was inevitable so they said okay.
"This is (Y/N), Ferena. You have met now we can go." - "I'M (Y/N)! HAHAHA"
They have never thought of meeting his brother at all and now their nerves are getting wrecked from just the thought of it. They don't even think of the king status of Ferena, just the older brother status. They thought they didn't get Ferena's approval at first and thought how it would go, getting shivers from it. They still feel tense even after Ferena laughs and claps them on the shoulder.
🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙
Azul Ashengrotto
(Y/N) and Azul were flirting for some time and (Y/N) thinks it is time to ask Azul out properly. They are happy that Azul has no older brother that they will deal with but he has two dads, biological and step one and then there is the mother. 
"I want to date you so I'm ready to meet your parents, Azul." - "Why would you want to meet them?" - "So they can see you are dating a nice person and get some sort of acceptance from them?"
(Y/N) is used to being family-oriented, the family involving in a huge part of their lives. They thought Azul was the same. Even if they won't meet with Azul's dads, maybe they will meet with the mother. It feels weird for them to not interact with the parents.
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Kalim Al-Asim
Kalim has invited (Y/N) to a date set in Scarabia dorm. Of course, Jamil will be the one to prepare the dishes. Kalim is usually one to prefer to be in the crowds but since they are on a date, it is just two of them and Kalim wants to be the one serving. 
"You've finished already! I'll go bring some more!" - "Sure!":O
Regardless of who is cooking, Scarabia is the hosting place and (Y/N) is the guest. They can't just deny the food. They eat everything on the plate and Kalim keeps bringing more dishes. They have eaten the main dish, dessert and haven't even eaten any fruit. They don't want to be rude and refuse the food. Thankfully, Jamil comes and suggest Kalim that they should take a ride with the flying carpet.
👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Vil Schönheit
(Y/N) is from the Balkans, the macho men are very common regardless of how they look. They are certainly not macho but the idea of it embedded in their mind. When (Y/N) does not see any machoness from Vil, they feel uneased as if they will see his macho side later on. They couldn't stand this feeling anymore.
"Do you like me?" - "What type of question is that?" - "You have a controlling side but you don't act, you know, macho." - "Fufu~"
(Y/N) has to explain the relationship stereotype that they are used to first. Vil just rolls his eyes at the men they just described. Such old fashioned way of thinking. He assures them that they shouldn't expect that behaviour from him and not think about it at all briefly before continuing whatever he is doing.
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Idia Shroud
MC learns that Idia is Greek in denial, a fellow Balkanoid. They think they can get along well with Idia and he is good looking so they ask him out. The best way to go is to ask him to drink together. They could get to know him better too.
"Would you like to drink rakı/rakija/rakia together?" - "I don't even know what that is."
(Y/N) feels offended to hear this but they think it must have a different name. They look upon the internet and see the best drink of Isle of Lamentation. To accommodate him, they offer to drink at his room and Idia accepts 1) he needs one 2) he will be in his room 3)(Y/N) is likeable. 
Idia gets drunk after the first glass. Though he didn't add water in it so (Y/N) is impressed.
🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉
Malleus Draconia
Malleus loves drinking black coffee and he sees (Y/N) as his friend so he decides to invite them to drink coffee together. He is happy to hear them say "Yes!" with such excitement. They are such a nice friend. On the day of coffee day, he sees that they are dressed fancier than usual. He thinks it is just what humans wear to drink coffee.
"I didn't expect you to ask me out, Malleus." - "Ask you out?" - "Ah yeah, old terms... Courting." - "I did not ask to court you, (Y/N)"
(Y/N) cringes at that moment and slurps the hot coffee instantly, only to burn their tongue and start coughing. Their face seems like it's on fire. He offers to help but they refuse help. After the incident, they seem somewhat different during their coffee time. He will ask what this was about to Lilia later on.

Texts from the Lost Tomb part 6.1
🎶 Back on the bullshit I never got off🎶
Is this another unnecessary story arc?? With three sections??
Yes.
Wushanju Crew Chat
Wang Meng: You know, I’m someone who appreciates consistency in my day. My life is pleasant, very few issues indeed if you ignore the big ones. And yet. Yet here we are. With unresolved messes at the end of a day.
Wang Pangzi: SOMETHIN YOU NEED TO SAY MARY POPPINS
Wang Meng: We need to talk about Huo Daofu and the glittery bead curtain.
Wang Pangzi: MY FAVE TEEN WIZARD SERIES
Wu Xie: did you turn on that suggested word thingy lol
What glittery bead curtain
Wang Meng: I closed the shop at 6:00pm this evening on the dot. I locked all of the doors in and out of the shop very carefully, especially in light of recent events. The hall leading to the back office was empty. I filed the day’s paperwork, updated and sent emails, and then spent an extra hour organizing receipts and dusting. When I came back out, there were glittery iridescent bead curtains over the front entrance to the shop.
What could this mean?
Wu Xie: uh that you need to spend less time at work?
Wang Pangzi: LOOKS LIKE WE GOT ONE FOR THE DETECTIVES. THE MYSTERY OF THE BEDAZZLED THRESHOLD COMMENCES
Wu Xie: I think we can be relatively secure in thinking a glittery bead curtain isn’t a hostile threat
Wang Pangzi: SAYS YOU
I REMEMBER YE OLDE EXPLORATION TIMES HOW FAST THINGS GOT FURIOUS
BEANBAG CHAIRS SET AFLAME AND LEFT ON DOORSTEPS AS A WARNING
GLITTERBOMBS FOR DAYS
PANIC AT THE DISCO
Wang Meng: Ugh, forget it. I should have just taken them down, regardless of who they belong to.
Zhang Qiling: They are not mine.
Wang Pangzi: A BOLD STATEMENT COMING FROM OUR PRIME SUSPECT
SOMEONE QUICK GO DRAW CHALK AROUND THE DOORWAY TO MARK THE SCENE OF THE CRIME
Wang Meng: Do we know anyone who *would* sneak in and put those up? For whatever reason, legal or not? Even as a joke?
Wang Pangzi: ARE YOU SERIOUSLY ASKING WHETHER WE KNOW ANYONE WHO IS CHAOTIC, AN OUTLAW, A PRANKSTER AND/OR SNEAKS INTO PLACES
BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN OUR SUSPECT LIST IS LITERALLY EVERYONE WE KNOW EXCEPT FOR YOU.
Wu Xie: okay let’s think about this; for starters, I didn’t break into my own shop
Wang Meng: You would be in danger of doing some work in the process, that’s true.
Wang Pangzi: LOL
Wu Xie: ANYWAY let’s keep going. For example, Xiao Ge would only break in somewhere for a good reason. Xiao Ge, did you do this?
Zhang Qiling: No.
Wu Xie: okay who’s next
Wang Pangzi: YOU REALLY MISSED YOUR CALLING IN INTERROGATION TIANZHEN
REALLY PUT THE SCREWS TO HIM

Zhang Qiling: I wanted him to feel welcome. I wanted to be sure he understands he has a place here. A specific place.
Wang Pangzi: FOR A SILENT GUY YOU ARE A MASTER AT SUBTLE POWER PLAYS IM ALL TINGLY
LMAO THE IDEA OF WU XIE LEAVING YOU FOR HUO DAOFU IS HILARIOUS AND ALSO NOPE
Zhang Qiling: Rationally, I understand that.
Main Chat
Wang Meng: Huo Daofu is coming for the weekend—didn’t Wu Xie tell you? Wu Xie asked me to check in a week ahead so we could start getting ready for his arrival
Wu Xie: oh yeah I did do that
Wang Meng: Fortunately I know you and so I already went ahead and took care of everything.
Re: the trip
He made a deal with Wu Xie’s doctor that he would do periodic checkups on him here at Wushanju
Bc Wu Xie hates being in the hospital
And frankly the hospital hates him too
Wang Pangzi: FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT LOL
I FORGOT HUO DAOFU WAS DOING THAT
A VERY CHIVALROUS GESTURE
WOULDNT YOU SAY
XIOAGE

Which is a funny story in retrospect tbh
Wu Xie: haha what are you talking about sweetie hahaha need I remind you of certain anecdotes that could idk send me to jail maybe lmao
Unknown Number: …You know, perhaps an in-person meeting might be more effective?
Wu Xie: haha such a nice idea but why
Main Chat
Wu Xie: If I go to jail, I’ll have to create alliances for protection, right, that’s how it works on tv
Who do we know who spends time in jail
Other than Hei Yangjing, he’s only ever there for like 12 hours and i suspect he just gets himself arrested bc he enjoys the breaking out process

“Let’s never go back to Corellia.” Sera huffed out.
“Agreed. That was too close a call.” Tech spoke from the pilot chair, the Havoc Marauder just now entering hyperspace.
“We’ve got what we came for, let’s just head back.” Hunter sighed. He was sitting by a console looking at a map of a star system.
“Corellian ale.” Crosshair spat, shaking his head. “One of the worst missions we’ve ever done.” The cargo was stored all over the ship. Someone who wanted to avoid going through the empire to acquire some had hired the boys to lift the ale from a contact they had in Corellia, and from what Sera heard, the buyer had some deep pockets.
“Why would someone want this so badly?” Omega chimed in curiously. Hunter looked at Echo who shrugged, Tech sighed, and Sera held in a laugh. Crosshair shook his head. “Good luck with that.” Crosshair spoke, and he left to be somewhere more private, walking past Wrecker who was entering the public area.
“Well, Omega-” Hunter started, but was interrupted.
“How much longer till we get there?” Wrecker complained loudly, shoving himself into a chair across from Sera.
“We only just went into hyperspace, Wrecker.” Tech spoke and sounded a bit annoyed. “We’ll be back eventually.”
“This is always the boring part!” Wrecker threw his arms up, exasperated. Sera let out a quiet laugh. Wrecker reminded her of a kid sometimes, with his lack of patience and affinity to, well, wrecking things. One of the few things that reminded her otherwise was that he was huge, and could probably throw her across the room if he wanted to.
A thought crossed her head, and a smile spread onto Sera’s lips, a glint lighting up her eyes. Echo had noticed and eyed Sera.
“I’ve got an idea, Wrecker.” Sera stood up, hands behind her back, and walked around a bit aimlessly for a moment.
“Huh?” Wrecker looked puzzled, but curiously watched Sera.
“What are you doing?” Echo asked suspiciously, arms crossed. Sera caught that Hunter had been peeking at her out of the corner of his eye. He quickly looked back to the star map. Sera felt herself scowl at the lack of attention she received from him.
“You know, I remember,” Sera suddenly turned around, and swiftly grabbed a bottle of Corellian ale. “That some of the bottles broke while we made our escape.” She easily twisted the top off.
“Oh no-“ Echo said. “We’re not doing that.”
Sera smiled mischievously and took a swig. “Sera!” Echo tried to reach and stop her, but it was too late. The warm liquid settled into her stomach, and she sighed. She handed the bottle to Wrecker. “Oh yeah! This should be fun!” Wrecker took a long drink.
Sera heard Tech sigh loudly from the pilot's chair, clearly wanting his opinion to be known. “Well, now you’ve done it.” He spoke loudly from the other room. “If he breaks my ship, you’re fixing it Sera.”
“Your ship?” Hunter chimed in finally, raising an eyebrow in Tech's direction. Otherwise he had been completely ignoring the conversation taking place.
“You and I both know you don’t want me trying to fix the ship tech.” Sera shouted loudly to the other room.
“Then you’re paying for it!” Tech countered. Sera laughed at that.
“Could I try it?” Sera heard Omegas' small voice and her eyes widened.
“No.” Echo and Hunter spoke at the same time.
“Shit-” Sera spoke at the same time as the other two, then covered her mouth and coughed.
“Sorry kid, adults only.” Sera addressed Omega more seriously.
“Aww” Omega sighed and leaned back into her chair.
Wrecker handed the bottle back to Sera and burped loudly. “Anyone else?” She shook the bottle, looking at Echo, then Hunter, who was still ignoring her.
Sera felt herself get more irritated. Whatever, she turned back to Echo.
“Not happening.” He spoke firmly, and also placed a brief pause between the two words for emphasis. Sera sighed and took another sip. She felt like she was beginning to weigh less with each drink she took, her mind wandering more too.
“I would offer you some Tech, but-“
“Alcohol consumption is well known to inhibit your cognitive functions, and make you susceptible to poor decision making. For starters, I am piloting, and secondly I would prefer to keep my wits about me, thirdly-”
“We get it!” Sera shouted out, interrupting Tech.
“Think you can out drink me Wrecker?” Sera turned and eyed Wrecker challengingly, raising an eyebrow and tilting her chin up to add more effect.
“Of course I can!” Wrecker pounded his chest, laughing heartily. Sera ignored the loud collection of sighs. She thought she heard Hunter mutter something under his breath, but she ignored it.
“Let’s put it to the test then.” She grabbed another 2 bottles and placed them in the middle of the table. “We each drink a full mouthful. Games over when someone can’t continue.” Sera laid out the ground rules.
“Deal!” Wrecker pounded his fists on the table, the drinks jumping up along with the shaking. “Let’s do it!”
“Would you all be quiet?” Crosshair walked out, clearly more annoyed than usual.
“You might not want to miss this Crosshair.” Echo said, somewhat sarcastically.
“What does the winner get?” Sera ignored the other conversation and spoke to Wrecker, trying to raise the stakes.
“Uh,” Wrecker scratched his head, trying to think of something.
Sera’s eyes flickered to the oversized knife on Wreckers belt. “If I win, I get to take your knife.” Sera pointed. Wrecker gasped shockingly. “Not my knife!”
“Just don’t lose.” Sera flashed Wrecker a grin, showing off her teeth.
“Well when I win, you have to buy me an explosive!” Wrecker grinned back and leaned back into his chair.
“Sure, if you win.” Sera countered.
“You seriously think you can beat him?” Crosshair said casually, not looking at Sera and examining a new toothpick.
“Watch me you little fu-“ Sera stopped herself and looked at Omega.
“Firaxan.” Sera finished, and coughed awkwardly. “Omega, maybe Tech needs some help up in the cockpit.” Sera gestured over to the direction of Tech. Omega peeked over to the pilots seat curiously, where Tech sat.
“Not really-” Tech started.
“Oh he would REALLY LIKE the COMPANY!” Sera yelled over him. Hunter had nodded his head to Omega, which caught Sera’s interest. Now he‘s interested in what’s happening? She complained internally.
“Alright then, good luck Sera! Oh, and you too Wrecker!” Omega added it after Wrecker had made a face at her wishing Sera luck. She trotted off to the pilots area happily, and Sera heard Tech sigh. She knew he actually would enjoy the company though.
“Alright, start us off Wrecker.” Sera smiled and handed the bottle over to Wrecker.
One and a half bottles later and Sera found herself being a bit more giggly than normal. She and Wrecker were both holding their own, and sides had been drawn. Echo had been supporting Sera, while Crosshair clearly wanted Wrecker to win. Even Hunter had begun to watch too. Sera had failed to notice that.
“It’s *hic* you’re turn, Wrecker!” Sera then laughed. “Keep it together Sera,” Echo counseled her carefully.
“Oh like that lightweight can outdrink him?” Crosshair spoke and gestured to Wrecker. Wrecker laughed at the both of them and took another drink “Ah, tastes so good! I’m almost not thirsty anymore!” Wrecker leaned back into the chair and brought his arms up, and kicked his feet up on the table. He waved his arms around a second to catch his balance.
“A-ha!” Sera slammed her hands on the table. Everyone looked at her, surprised at her outburst. “You wobbled! I win!” She jumped up, then had to lean onto the wall to keep her balance.
“No, I’m fine!” Wrecker complained. He stood up and wobbled a bit again, but held himself up fine compared to Sera.
“Gimme this I’m celebrating-” Sera grabbed the bottle and began downing the contents. Crosshair just snickered and Echo snatched the bottle away after Sera got two gulps in. “No way, you’re both done.”
“Boo!” Sera yelled, and Wrecker joined the booing. Echo only shook his head and kept ahold of the bottle.
“I gotta, I’ve, hafto pee!” Sera then giggled more and stumbled down the hall, searching for the bathroom.
----------
“I’ve got it.” Hunter stood up to follow Sera and the boys watched him walk down, Echo looking surprised, Crosshair suspicious, and Wrecker didn’t notice as he was trying to grab at the Corellian ale Echo was holding onto.
Hunter found Sera stumbling down the hall. He quickly caught up to her and grabbed underneath her arm, keeping her from taking a nasty fall. “Steady there.” He spoke quietly. She turned to look behind her and then smiled. “Hunter! What are you doing?” She looked at him confused, and for some reason was whispering.
“Making sure you don’t get hurt. Which is usually your job for the rest of us.” We did bring her along as a medic after all. Hunter wrapped his arm around her back and put her arm around his back, trying to keep her from falling.
“Pfft I’ve outdrank gamorreans, I’ll be fine.” She waved a hand at him trying to downplay how drunk she was. Hunter was watching her carefully, and he had noticed she had a blush on her cheeks from the drinking. It was a soft pink that was hardly noticeable, but Hunter found himself examining it closely.
“Hmmm what?” Sera wiggled her eyebrows at him, clearly taking notice that Hunter was staring.
“Come on, let’s get you to bed.” Hunter looked away and ignored her faces, and began dragging her down the hall.
“Oh, since when do you care, huh?” Sera hiccuped again when she finished.
“What are you trying to say?” Hunter wasn’t sure what he could’ve done to upset her. They continued walking together, just a few feet away from a cot. He turned to look at her, and found himself staring at her face again.
“Well you didn’t seem to care what I was doing earlier. You didn’t even say anything.” Sera grumbled it out, and Hunter was surprised at her complaint. She really thinks I don’t care?
Hunter had truthfully found Sera distracting. He had been listening to what she was saying and watching, but he also didn’t like how she grabbed at his attention so easily. He wanted to stay focused on the mission, and he didn’t want to let himself get too distracted by her. He didn’t watch her directly, or didn’t speak to her, but his thoughts would constantly drift to her. In the end, he watched the end of her little contest with Wrecker unfold, unable to keep his eyes away.
Hunter contemplated what to say to rectify the situation. “You’re my friend Sera. You’ve helped keep us alive. Of course I care.” He looked away for a brief moment after he spoke, trying to ignore how her breath smelled nice.
Hunter began steeling himself, getting ready to carry her the rest of the way. He heard her shuffle, and turned curiously, only to see Sera’s face just an inch from his. His eyes widened in shock to see her hazel eyes up close, the green in them looking striking, her blonde messy hair giving her a look of wildness. She moved in, and swiftly pecked him on the cheek.
Hunter touched his cheek, then looked back to her, his expression still shocked. Sera giggled again and Hunter's face began to turn red. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into an embrace.
“I care about you guys too.” Sera whispered into his ear. Hunter was frozen, unsure how to react for a second. He removed his hand from his cheek and put an arm around her awkwardly. He was new to physical affection, and had never really given anyone a hug. Only one time with Omega, but she was smaller, and it felt different than this.
Suddenly Sera’s head went limp on his shoulder, and her weight started to completely fall on Hunter. “Sera?” He stumbled, but easily held her up, and turned his head to look at her and see what was wrong. She was taking deep breaths, and Hunter recognized that she was asleep.
Hunter sighed and hoisted her up, carrying her bridal style the last few feet to the bed. He set her on the cot, being careful not to bump her into anything, and put the cheap blanket on top of her. She barely moved, except for her breathing, and seemed completely out of it. “So much for out-drinking gamorreans.” Hunter laughed to himself as he spoke the thought out loud.
He noticed she was laid flat on her back, and realized that could be dangerous with how drunk she got. Hunter placed one hand on her shoulder, and began to turn her onto her side. She felt warm underneath his hand, and her arm was smaller compared to his larger hand. He was watching her rose tinted face doze off peacefully as he shifted her. He indulged himself for a moment, and gently shifted a strand of hair out of her face, tucking it behind her ear. He turned away and quickly left after that, flexing his fingers as he walked away.
Hunter scowled as he contemplated, feeling very confused by Sera’s actions and his own feelings. She’s probably going to forget this by tomorrow, he thought to himself.
Can't say I will though.

“Brendon!! It’s really you!” An excitable voice called out from the other side of the phone.
“Oh my gosh, Dion, is that you?!” Brendon chuckled and smiled excitedly.
“Yes! Guys! This is Brendon’s new number! Come on and get in on this!” Dion said, chuckling.
“Brendon!! Where the hell have you been?!” A stern voice came through the phone. “We were worried about you! You had Mom worried most of all!”
“Hehe, sorry Patrick… I broke my phone when I first came on, I got a new one but I couldn’t get any of the phone numbers I lost…” Brendon said, chuckling uneasily.
“Well, you bet your butt I’m gonna give you a hard time when we see you, that’s right Davey told us that he made you promise.” Patrick said as a matter of factly. “And don’t go breaking your promise.”
“I won’t… I always follow through with my word.” Brendon said, reassuring him.
“Move over ya big lug! Brendon~! It’s Ivan! It’s so good to hear from you again! We all miss you and we can’t wait to see you in Kyoto!” Another happy voice butted into the call.
“Hehe, Ivan, it’s good to hear your voice again! We have to catch up later!” Brendon went back to washing dishes, a bit quieter so he could listen to his brothers.
“Definitely! Actually, Mom and Davey dropped hints that you might be bringing people with you to Kyoto? Something about… ‘roommates’?” Ivan said, his smirking could be heard in his voice.
“Ivan, you’re gonna meet them when they get to Kyoto, I’m not spoiling anything.” Brendon smirked.
“Why?! Why can’t you tell me about your roommates? At least tell me if they’re single! Do they have brothers?” Ivan groaned. “Come on, you’re not usually one to withhold secrets!”
“That’s because it’s my secret and my surprise,'' Brendon laughed, “No Spoilers~!”
“Ugh, Brendon you are such a brat! Fine… oh! And someone wants to say hi to you!” Ivan handed the phone to the next person.
“Brendon? Is it really you?”
Brendon sounded like he was about to burst into tears when he heard that voice. “Will… oh my gosh… I’ve missed you so much… how are you?”
“Well, for starters, I’ve been missing you, and I didn’t know what happened to you. But other than that, I’ve been writing, doing alright for myself.” Will said.
“Will… I’m sorry for not contacting you sooner… I…” Brendon’s voice trembled.
“H-Hey, Brendon, I was just giving you a hard time, don’t cry… gosh, I keep forgetting you’re emotional… now I feel bad…” Will sighed.
“Don’t make Brendon cry!” Patrick called out, “apologize to him!”
“It was an accident! And stop shouting, you’ll wake up Mom and Shawn!” Will hissed.
“Oh? Shawn’s not awake? That’s odd, he’s usually up and about at night.” Brendon inquired, still a bit teary.
“No, he’s trying to adjust his sleeping schedule to match Kyoto’s day and nighttime hours. He went to sleep around 4pm.” Will said, “Sorry for making you cry.”
“No nononono… these are good tears… I’ve missed you all something fierce…” Brendon sniffled and chuckled.
“We all miss you too Bren, Shawn has been desperately trying to find a trace of an update from you on all your social media.” Ivan said, listening into the conversation next to Will.
“Yeah, my phone got smashed when I arrived, the headmaster gave me a new phone when I arrived at the school.”
“What’s the school’s name again?” Will asked, “Cause I heard about exchange students making their home at your college, they didn’t really say anything about who the 4 students were…”
“Uhh… The Royal Academy.” Brendon said, a drop of insecurity suddenly hitting him.
“The Royal Academy?” Will asked, Brendon could hear Will’s eyebrow raise.
“The Royal Academy of Arts?! I knew you were in Europe!” Ivan said excitedly.
“N-No, just the Royal Academy… it’s… down under!” Brendon was panicking, but not technically lying.
“So your roommates are Australian?!” Ivan exclaimed and then began to parade through the room. “I’m gonna meet some Aussie hunks, I’m gonna meet some Aussie hunks~!” Ivan chanted, dancing excitedly. “I am so jealous!!”
“I mean… they aren’t really Australian… it’s very complicated… and kind of disturbing…” Brendon was sweating, he just wanted to scream in the sudsy water that accumulated in the sink... Oh no, the sink!! “Ahh! It’s overflowing!” Brendon screamed.
“Brendon? Are you okay in here?” A voice asked, walking into the kitchen.
“A-Asmo?!” Brendon said, turning the faucet off, but slipping on the wet floor.
“Brendon?! Are you okay?!” Will asked frantically, on speaker.
“Bren!! You better be in one piece when you get here, cause I won’t forgive you for hurting yourself!” Patrick growled.
“Oh my gosh… that voice didn’t sound Australian… is that one of your roommates? Yoo-hoo~! Hi roommate!!” Ivan called out.
“Guys, you’re hogging my phone! Brendon, it seems you got your hands full, so we’ll let you go, we’ll see you in Kyoto! Good night!” Dion took over once more.
“Dion! We need these questions answered!” Ivan exasperated.
“No you don’t!” Dion grunted, hanging up.
Brendon was lying face up on the kitchen floor, sighing in many emotions. He sighed in relief because the brotherly interrogation was over, in frustration because he didn’t tell them the truth, in pain because of the slipping, and in embarrassment because he slipped in front of Asmo.
“Brendon! Oh my gosh, honey, are you okay?” Asmo asked, helping Brendon up from the floor.
“Yeah… nothing but a bruised ego, and wet pants…” Brendon said, snorted in humility.
“I’m glad you’re okay… who were you talking to? Oh my gosh, were they your brothers?!” Asmo reassured, then asked excitedly.
“Ehehe… yeah, those were my older brothers and my younger brother.” Brendon rubbed the back of his head, and then Asmo started laughing, “W-What?”
“Hahaha! I’m sorry, it’s just… you look so cute when you’re embarrassed!” Asmo said with a smile.
Brendon blushed and looked down, before getting his phone back, putting it in his pocket. It was a miracle it didn’t fall into the sink. “U-Ummm… how much did you hear?”
“Well… I know that you didn’t really tell them the truth about us.” Asmo crossed his arms sadly. “But, I get it. Some families might not know how to take us being demons and all… but, your family seems pretty cool. I know they also love you.”
Brendon looked down and frowned, he didn’t want to lie to them, but he didn’t know what else to say, who knows how they would react if they found out the reason they didn’t see him for a whole year was because he was basically stuck in hell? Not quite hell, but it still complicates the explanation. Suddenly he got a ping from his phone, he took it out and he froze, it was a few texts from Will.
“Hey, it’s Thoth, you’re a terrible liar, and I expect you to tell us everything the next time I see you.” The text read. “I hope you sleep well.”
Asmo read the text over Brendon’s shoulder and blinks. “Oh my… it seems that someone’s not as dense either…” he said.
“Will has always been a perceptive person… he can tell when I’m lying… but, I just couldn’t tell them over the phone… it would have made them worry more about me…” Brendon sighed. “I didn’t want them to worry more, they’ve been worrying enough.”
Asmo gave a small smile and pat Brendon’s back. “I don’t think it’s fair to lie to your brothers either… and for the record, we are far from being Australians.”
Brendon and Asmo both started to laugh as they began to wipe the water up off the floor. Asmo began drying the dishes as Brendon continued to wash the remaining ones. Afterward, Asmo took Brendon up to his room and began to help Brendon combat the dryness of his hands after the dishwashing. Brendon really did love and appreciate how helpful, and charming Asmo was. He was a social butterfly, loved to entertain, and thoughtful. Although he was a bit extra, a bit of a flirt, semi-competitive, and soaked in vanity every night before bed, he was the friendliest and most approachable of the brothers.
“Thank you for cheering me up, Asmo… and you’re right… I need to tell my family about you all when we get to Kyoto.” Brendon said.
“I agree. I just think it isn’t fair to your brothers. Especially if we might eventually become brothers-in-law~.” Asmo winked playfully.
Brendon didn’t say anything to that, instead he leaned in and began tickling Asmo’s sides, just what Asmo hoped for.
“AH! Nuuuhuhuhu~! It was only the truth! Hahaha!” Asmo wiggles around, trying not to pull away but instinct betrayed him.
Brendon chuckles as he had stopped tickling, and shook his head with a smirk before hugging him close. “Seriously though, Asmo… thank you for setting me right.” He said, kissing Asmo on the cheek.
Asmo smiles and tried to kiss Brendon’s cheek back. “Hehe~! Anytime. And as much as I would love to have you play with me all night, I got some plans for tonight. And you need to continue packing. After all, 2 months is a long vacation~!”
“O-Oh, that’s right! There’s still some things I need to pack… I’ll see you tomorrow, Asmo!” Brendon said, getting up from sitting on Asmo’s bed and leaving out of his room.
“See you sweetie~!” Asmo said, then reached into his bag and pulled out a packet. “Ugh… the things I go through for him… well, I think he’s worth it.”
Brendon was walking back down toward his room when he heard music coming from the library. He walked over to the library and saw one of the bookcases were open, revealing the stairs down into Lucifer’s study. Brendon sighed contentedly as he let himself walk down to the study and saw Lucifer sitting at his desk, doing some paperwork. He only got down halfway, when he heard papers calmly shifting.
“Brendon, what a pleasant surprise. What brings you down to my study at this hour?” Lucifer asked all suave.
“I was heading back to my room, and I heard music. You know if you don’t want me to come down here, it would do you well to close the bookcase.” Brendon chuckles.
“Who said that I didn’t want you down here?” Lucifer leaned in, interlocking his hands together, “Tell me, cause I will not have anyone put words into my mouth.”
“Hehe, I only assumed, but I guess I assumed wrong.” Brendon shrugged and sat in front of Lucifer’s desk.
“Well, I suppose when you first arrived here, I wouldn’t have wanted you to be snooping down here, but now it’s different.” Lucifer said, putting his pen back in the inkwell. “Have you made your decision on who to pick for the trip to Kyoto?”
“Umm… no… I haven’t… it’s pretty difficult to choose…” he said, biting his lip. “Everyone has cons and pros about going… and it’s challenging to weigh in on everyone , cause this will be 2 months in the human world…”
“I personally would not have a difficult decision. I would either pick Satan or Asmo, because they are the ones who usually don’t cause too much trouble.” Lucifer said, “Mammon and Levi wouldn’t be a good combo at all, Beel in the human world would be catastrophic, Belphie, you can never really know about him…”
“Well, I see all the good and bad they contribute to daily life. And I think they would behave as much as they can if I can stay frosty.” Brendon clenched his fists in determination.
“Beel and Mammon would drain your wallet very quickly.” Lucifer pointed out, “if not yours, then one of your family member’s.”
Brendon slumped into the chair and sighs. “This is gonna be a disaster, and I already promised my older brother I’d go… I just wish I could bring you all…That way I don’t have to worry about any of you getting into trouble...”
Lucifer blinked and smiled, before getting up and walking over behind Brendon’s chair, and he placed his hand on Brendon’s shoulder. “It’s okay, I’m sure it will work out, Brendon. You have a talent for having everything work out.”
Brendon opened his eyes and looked up at Lucifer, giving a small smile. “Well… I don’t know about that… I guess it all depends on the situation… Diavolo said his decision was final…” he said, but then he stood up gently with Lucifer, and they began to dance to the music that was playing in the study.
Brendon was swept off of his feet and away from his mile-a-minute-mind but Lucifer’s leading waltz. Lucifer had to be the most charming of the brothers, he was thoughtful, considerate, hardworking, and sensual when he wanted to show it. Even though he was a bit of a sadist, authoritative, stubborn, and sometimes had too much pride in himself, he knew how to make Brendon feel like the closest thing to a Prince as he could.
“You really know how to make a guy feel special, Lucifer…” Brendon blushed as Lucifer stepped back, both their arms extending out, and pulled in Brendon, who spun toward him, his kilt catching air lightly in the twirl until their bodies came into contact, and so did their gazes upon each other.
“It’s because you are special to me, Brendon. There aren’t many people in this world who have traded hearts with me.” Lucifer said, putting his hand securely on Brendon’s waist and dipped him back gently. “In fact, you are the only one who managed to.”
Brendon smiled and leaned up to give Lucifer a kiss while hanging on by Lucifer’s grip on his back. Lucifer leaned in as well to the kiss and they held it for a good second or two before a pounding knock at the front door startled the pair, into the upright position.
Brendon and Lucifer looked at each other. “Who could that be during this time of night?” Lucifer asked, eyebrows raised.
Brendon chuckled a bit. “Lucifer… It’s always night in the Devildom.” Brendon let go of Lucifer, “Let’s go see who it is, it might be important.”
“I surely hope so.” Lucifer said, walking with Brendon upstairs to the front door.
“Hehe, unless the Devildom has door-to-door sales-demons, or Cain’s Witnesses, I doubt it would be anything less than important.” Brendon said as Lucifer opened the door.
“That is where you’re correct, Brendon.” A proper voice came from the front porch.
“Barbatos? What are you doing here?” Lucifer asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Pardon the visit at such a late hour, but Lord Diavolo wishes to speak with Brendon,” Barbatos said, bowing his head slightly, arm over his chest, “Privately.”

hullo! for the music asks: 1, 6, 7, 8 ☺️
Hello!! 😊 here you go!
1. A song that gives you goosebumps
Hmmm, classical definitely Tchaikovsky piano concerto no. 1. The beginning always gives me goosebumps! Other than classical, I might say The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel, idk why, love Simon and Garfunkel but that song ALWAYS gives me goosebumps
6. What’s a genre or style of music that you jist don’t understand?
Not understanding might be too extreme, but I’m not a big fan of Techno. Like yes, when I’m drunk at a party (before the whole Corona shizzle happened) and they play Techno music, I dance. But I don’t really like it that much.
7. Do you have a process for listening to music, such as listening to instruments more than words?
Hahaha okay, I love this question. For a starters I suck at listening/learning to lyrics/words. When I first hear a song I simply listen to the music and don’t listen to the words at all, except when they repeat it a lot. I listen to the melody but 9 times out of 10 I just randomly try to harmonize with it? Idk why, I think I try to sing along to the other instruments or just like to add more layers just because it’s fun haha. Just like singing along to instrumental parts instead of the words. Apart from the singing I usually ‘analyse’ or listen to every harmony/instruments seperatly and only than listen to the words.
8. What’s your favorite thing about your favorite song?
First, I don’t really have a favorite song. But what I love about pieces/songs is a nice bass/lower sounds and a nice melody and of course a more complicated harmony than just I-IV-V all the time hahaha. I’m not that difficult when it comes to music, as long as it’s ‘catchy’ I like it. I also like ‘abnormal’ things in music other than classical like a 4/4 song with a random 3/4 measure in it, or unexpected modulations,...
Thank you so much for asking 🥰

Tamaki Yotsuba RabbiTube Rabbit TV Part 1: Spending Time With Tamaki
Part 2 | Part 3
Staff: ...Now, on to the RabbiTube project.
Staff: Our plan is to introduce the videos by featuring clips on NEXT Re:vale!
Staff: We'd really appreciate it if you could show a side of yourselves that people don't usually get to see on TV. It's a pleasure to be working with you!
Momo: We've got high hopes for you guys!
Yuki: Feel free to fully expose yourselves to the public.
Mitsuki Izumi: Ahaha, please be gentle with us! Looks like I'm gonna have to do a RabbiTube study marathon..!
Gaku Yaotome: By the way, Tenn, I saw you watching RabbiTube videos the other day. Do you know any good ones?
Tenn Kujo: ...I was just watching cat videos.
Gaku Yaotome: Cats, huh. That's not gonna help us learn anything.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: ...I think they might help! You could learn ways to entertain and soothe people...
Gaku Yaotome:  Ryu, not all of us are gonna be able to do that...
Yuki: ...I'm liking the idea of Kitty Gaku.
Tenn Kujo: ...Pfft...
Gaku Yaotome: Tenn, why're you laughing!?
Riku Nanase: Kitties..! So could it be like a video of Iori going into a cat café?
Iori Izumi: Why do I have to go to a cat café!?
Yamato Nikaido: I'm not too excited about making videos like that, either...
Tamaki Yotsuba: I wanna do a pudding tasting!
Sogo Osaka: ...Personally, I'd like to rank my top 100 spices from all around the world...
Nagi Rokuya: And I shall hold a Cocona watch party!
Mitsuki Izumi: You guys aren't bringing anything new to the table!
Iori Izumi: ...Actually, I suppose animal videos do have their appeal, despite how banal they are...
Riku Nanase: Did you say something, Iori?
Iori Izumi: No, nothing.
Momo: Ahaha! Great, you're already brainstorming ideas!
Momo: You've all got the right idea! We wanna see you act natural for your RabbiTubes!
Yuki: Let's have a fun year doing this.
IDOLiSH7 & TRIGGER: Yessir! 
- - - -
Riku Nanase: We're going to be RabbiTubers for our birthday project this year..!
Sogo Osaka: All the group chats up until now were fun, so it's kind of a shame that we won't be doing one this year.
Mitsuki Izumi: ...Fair enough. It'll be awesome to make videos for our fans, but I wish we could have our own celebrations too!
Yamato Nikaido: It's become kind of a tradition by now.
Nagi Rokuya: ...We do not work together as much as we used to. Though I understand that it is difficult to match all our schedules...
Tamaki Yotsuba: Do we not get to eat Mikki's cakes this year?
Mitsuki Izumi: The cakes are the one thing we're gonna make for sure! Right, Iori!?
Iori Izumi: Yes. I'll help, too.
Riku Nanase: Hmm... Celebrations...
Riku Nanase: Ah! Why don't we all go somewhere together for our birthdays?
Riku Nanase: I guess we probably can't all go... But we can get our manager to arrange it so at least some of us can hang out!
Mitsuki Izumi: Going out, huh... That does sound like a nice change of pace from all the group RabbitChats!
Yamato Nikaido: It's a shame that we won't all be able to go, but getting to choose a spot does make it feel more special. ...You should take me to a beer brewery, by the way.
Mitsuki Izumi: Sounds like you've already got one in mind!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Let's take lots of pics and videos for the guys who can't go. We can send them over RabbitChat.
Nagi Rokuya: OH! A wonderful idea. It will make us all feel as if we are there.
Iori Izumi: I'm sure uploading them to Rabitter would make many people happy, as well.
Sogo Osaka: That sounds fun..! Let's ask our manager about it tomorrow.
Riku Nanase: Yep! ...Looks like we're going to have pretty fun birthdays again! 
- - - -
Tamaki Yotsuba: A King Pudding Museum..! Wow, I'm in heaven..!
Yamato Nikaido: Haha. Calling it heaven is a little much, don't you think?
Tsumugi Takanashi: He's our resident pudding lover, after all.
Sogo Osaka: I'm glad you like it. This museum was built at the end of last year, so I figured you hadn't been here yet.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Nope! Did you come up with this, So-chan!?
Sogo Osaka: No, it was Yamato-san's idea. He's the one who told us about the museum.
Yamato Nikaido: ...I would've been totally okay with you taking the credit for this, Sou...
Sogo Osaka: Why? I don't see any reason to lie about it.
Yamato Nikaido: I'm just here to keep things running smoothly.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Running..?
Yamato Nikaido: Hahaha. Don't think too hard on it. ...So, Tama, what do you wanna see?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Everything from this side of the place to that side of the place!
Sogo Osaka: ...Uh... The toilets are on that side of this floor...
Tamaki Yotsuba: I didn't mean the toilets!
Tsumugi Takanashi: Ah, here are  some pamphlets.
Yamato Nikaido: Thanks. ...Let's head over here, for starters. The King Pudding History Theater.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Let's go!!! Time to learn history!
Sogo Osaka: I wish he was this passionate about his actual studies... 
- - - -
Tamaki Yotsuba: ...That was awesome..! I can't believe the pudding jar looks different from what it used to..!
Yamato Nikaido: I didn't really know about this pudding brand before we started living in the dorm together, so it was pretty interesting to me, too...
Tsumugi Takanashi: It turns out Princess Meringue's character wasn't added until much later..!
Sogo Osaka: ...Did they change the containers for convenience's sake? Or did they have some other reason for it? Maybe food products just change with the times...
Tamaki Yotsuba: ...So-chan, you're clearly thinking way too hard about this.
Sogo Osaka: Huh? I wouldn't say that...
Tamaki Yotsuba: You're not allowed to think hard today! And my word is law!
Sogo Osaka: It is?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Yep, since it's my birthday. ...I'm King Tamaki! Hehe.
Yamato Nikaido: That's one hell of a king we've got.
Tsumugi Takanashi: You're today's star, Tamaki-san, so you can ask us anything!
Sogo Osaka: Exactly. As long as it's something we can do, of course.
Tamaki Yotsuba: ...Anything...
Tamaki Yotsuba: ...In that case, I wanna eat this museum's limited edition pudding with you guys!
Yamato Nikaido: Wow, they've even got their own pudding flavor.
Tsumugi Takanashi: Let's see... according to the pamphlet, you can even go see where it's made!
Sogo Osaka: Are you sure you want to ask us something so small, Tamaki-kun?
Tamaki Yotsuba: It's not small. I know you and Yama-san don't like sweets.
Tamaki Yotsuba: But if I'm selfish and ask you to eat it together with me, maybe it'll taste better to you guys.
Yamato Nikaido: ...That doesn't even come close to being selfish, Tama.
Yamato Nikaido: Let's go have a treat! King's orders.
Yamato, Sogo, & Tsumugi: Yeah..!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Hehe. Awesome. 
- - - -
Tamaki Yotsuba: Wow... Look at all those puddings on the conveyor belt!
Tamaki Yotsuba: I wonder if I could even eat this many in my lifetime.
Sogo Osaka: W-within your lifetime? Well, if you were to eat two every day for 80 years...
Yamato Nikaido: Sou, King Tamaki told you not to think too hard, remember?
Sogo Osaka: Ah... I-I'm sorry. I guess that was more of a rhetorical question.
Tamaki Yotsuba: ...I wish I could've come here with Aya and Mom, too.
Tsumugi Takanashi: Tamaki-san...
Tamaki Yotsuba: Haha. I know that's not possible. But King Pudding's just really special to me.
Sogo Osaka: ...We'll come here with all of IDOLiSH7 another time. You can count on that.
Tamaki Yotsuba: So-chan...
Yamato Nikaido: Yep. Sorry, manager, but we're hoping you could arrange our schedules for that...
Tsumugi Takanashi: Of course! I'll work something out!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Guys... Thanks a lot.
Yamato Nikaido: 'Kay, time to eat. Let's go have some of that limited edition pudding.
Sogo Osaka: I wonder what makes it so unique.
Tamaki Yotsuba: You get to pick your own toppings!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Also, you get to draw on the label!
Sogo Osaka: D-draw!?
Yamato Nikaido: That's pretty cool. Your pudding's guaranteed to be one- of-a-kind.
Tamaki Yotsuba: I know, right!? That's why I said this was heaven!
Yamato Nikaido: Haha. Figures.
Tsumugi Takanashi: No wonder so many of the people who passed us by were holding all kinds of puddings I'd never seen before!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Yeah! I'm gonna put a ton of chocolate sprinkles on mine. I wonder if they come in 7 colors?
Yamato Nikaido: Let's hope they do! And even if they don't we can use something else to make up for it.
Sogo Osaka: Just out of curiosity, do they have any spicy...
Tamaki Yotsuba: Nope!
Sogo Osaka: I knew it...
Tamaki Yotsuba: ...Listen.
Yamato Nikaido: Hm? What's up?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Thanks a lot... For bringing me here today.
Tamaki Yotsuba: King Pudding was a big part of my memories with Aya and Mom, so I'm really happy I get to share it with you guys.
Tamaki Yotsuba: We got to make some new memories together!
Tsumugi Takanashi: ...And we'll make many more, so your life as an idol is just as bright as your life was with them!
Yamato Nikaido: You're pretty dear to us, Tama. So you should tell us more about yourself.
Sogo Osaka: Can you teach us what kind of topping goes best with King Pudding?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Sure! But it's not gonna be beer or tabasco!
Tsumugi Takanashi: Hee hee. Let's use this chance to take a picture of you all..!
Tsumugi Takanashi: Say cheese..!

Tickle Me Azzy
Happy New Year, everyone! :D And to kick off 2021, here is a belated Christmas-themed request I did for Rubygirl692 on DeviantArt. She wanted a tickle story involving Frisk and Asriel and I felt that a Christmas setting taking place 7 months after the events of “Tickles of Justice” and 14 months after the events of Undertale would be perfect for those two and fun fact, this is the first holiday-themed story I’ve ever written. So, with in mind, feel free to let me know what you think in the comments… or in notes. ;)
 Undertale© Toby Fox.
 TICKLE ME AZZY
 It is December 22; 3 days before Christmas; and Frisk and Asriel are currently alone in their mother's house. Currently, it is 6 pm and at this time, Frisk and Asriel are wrapping Christmas presents together in Toriel's living room; a few feet away from their large beautifully decorated Christmas tree; their last presents to Toriel, Asgore, Chara, and friends to be exact. With Toriel at a school staff party, and Asgore and Chara working at the mall as a mall Santa and elf respectively, it seemed like the perfect time to do so. Frisk and Asriel love Christmas very much and in a few days, they will be celebrating their second Christmas together on the Surface after the destruction of the Barrier 14 months ago. It's such a special time of year for both of them and one of their ways of getting into the holiday spirit is swapping out their usual striped shirts with red and green striped shirts to wear along with their usual color pants (Asriel's are black and Frisk's are blue); same stripe patterns as their usual striped shirts, just different colors (the green stripes on Asriel's Christmas shirt are a darker shade of green and the other stripes are red rather than yellow; and Frisk's shirt is red with two green stripes instead of blue with two pink stripes). Chara does this as well. Every Christmas, she wears a green shirt with her usual brown pants that's the same shade of green as her usual green shirt but with a red stripe rather than a yellow stripe. But one thing has changed this year however. Frisk and Chara, instead of wearing Christmas socks a lot of the time, have chosen to bare their feet every time they are indoors and in non-public settings. The reason being is because they painted their toenails red and green this year and just can't resist showing them off every chance they get. And nobody can really blame them either! Especially since their nail polish colors alternate between red and green; Frisk with green nail polish on her, right pinky finger, right middle finger, right thumb, left index finger, left ring finger, left pinky toe, left middle toe, left big toe, right index toe, and right ring toe and red nail polish on her right ring finger, right index finger, left thumb, left middle finger, left pinky finger, left ring toe, left index toe, right big toe, right middle toe, and right pinky toe; and Chara with red nail polish on her right pinky finger, right middle finger, right thumb, left index finger, left ring finger, left pinky toe, left middle toe, left big toe, right index toe, and right ring toe and green nail polish on her right ring finger, right index finger, left thumb, left middle finger, left pinky finger, left ring toe, left index toe, right big toe, right middle toe, and right pinky toe. Christmas fingers and toes! :D Perfect for one cute little girl that recently turned 13 (Chara on November 30) and another cute little girl that will be turning 13 the following month (Frisk on January 7)! X3
 Asriel: Hehe. Wow, Frisk! You’re good at that. …You make it look so easy! *said Asriel to Frisk while sitting on the floor in a cross-legged position next to the Christmas tree, complimenting her superb wrapping job on every present she’s wrapped so far* What’s your secret?
 Frisk: Hee hee. Well, for starters, I don’t have fur that keeps getting stuck to the tape. *joked Frisk, who’s currently on her knees; barefoot in jeans and wiggling her toes cutely against the floor* Heeheeheeheehee!
 Asriel: Ha, ha; very funny. *said Asriel sarcastically in response* But yeah, you’re right.
 Frisk: Heeheehee! Would you like some help? *asked Frisk, moving closer towards Asriel*
 Asriel: Hehe; sure. I’ll cut and fold the paper, you tape. Sound good?
 Frisk: Heeheehee! You got it, fluffy boy.
 Sometime later… after all of the presents were wrapped…
 Frisk: Annnnnnnnd done! Great job, Azzy!
 Azzy: Hehe. All thanks to you.
 Frisk: Heeheehee. Awwww! X3
 Azzy: Can't wait to see everyone's reactions when they open their presents in a few days! I bet they're all going to love their presents very much!
 Frisk: Hehe; they better! Mom worked hard knitting those hats, mittens, scarves, and tail warmers for everyone!
 The tail warmers are for Alphys, MK, Rocco, Lydia, GK, and Rex. The lizards! X3
 Asriel: Hehe, yeah. ...Oh! Remember that time Mom, Dad, Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, and Alphys all played hockey together?
 Frisk: Hehe. Of course I remember! That was the talk of the town for quite some time last winter! And a lot of that had to do with some weirdo writing an article all about it on the Internet! Though funny, it was kind of inaccurate to how it all really played out to be honest.
 Asriel: Pfft! Kind of inaccurate?! (More like super inaccurate! Lol.) Well that’s certainly putting it lightly, my dear sister. Hahaha!
 Frisk: Heeheehee, yeah. But, hey, that's what writers do. They like putting their own little spin on things. Especially during that part where they talked about how Mom and Sans didn’t know what the heck they were doing and made them sound like they were flirting with each other! (They read how to play hockey beforehand for gosh sake! Why would they agree to play a game that they don’t know how to play?! XD) Oh! And that other part where they talked about Sans doing some cringy victory dance! (Oh my god, Sans was NOT happy when he read that part!) Heeheeheehee. Silly guy… or silly woman! Everyone knows that Sans doesn't dance. ...Well, at least not while others are watching. Heeheeheehee.
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheehee. I know, right? Heeheeheeheehee.
 Frisk: ...Wait, why did you bring up the hockey game just now! That was very… random of you, Azzy!
 Asriel: Hehe. Just thinking about how fun it might've been if we had participated in that game. Ooh, but I don't like wearing ice skates though. You know, seeing as how I… never wear shoes. *said Asriel while wiggling his six toes cutely*
 Frisk: You could always skate barefoot like Mom, Dad, and Alphys did. Your feet can handle the ice.
 Asriel: Haha! Very true! But who needs to ice skate when you can go sledding instead?
 Frisk: Oooooooh, yeah! Do you think that Santa will get you that sled you've been wanting, Azzy?
 Asriel: Hehe. Well, after getting me that red bike I wanted last year, I'd say that there’ll be a sled next to that tree in a few days.
 Another thing Frisk and Asriel (and Chara as well) do to get into the holiday spirit is talk about Santa like he’s a real person. They know that Santa isn’t real but pretending that he is real and the one responsible for giving them their presents every year just brings them so much joy and happiness; and last year, they went the extra mile by setting out milk and cookies on the night of Christmas Eve before going to bed and they certainly plan on doing so again this year too; for Asgore when he shows up dressed as Santa Claus to put their presents beside and/or under their Christmas tree; or inadvertently, the Annoying Dog if he happens to be skulking around Toriel’s house when he’s not supposed to be. XD
 Frisk: Haha! I’ll have to take your word for it. …And, um, while we’re on the topic of Christmas presents, I got you a little something, Azzy. *said Frisk a bit shyly*
 Asriel: *excited gasp* You did? What?
 Frisk: Heeheehee. Close your eyes.
 Asriel: Oh. Uh, ok then. Hehe. *said Asriel in response, giggling while doing what Frisk asked him to do*
 Frisk: Heeheehee. Perfect! Now, keep those eyes closed until I give you permission to open them, ok, mister? *said Frisk politely*
 Asriel: Heeheehee. You got it, Frisk.
 Frisk Heeheehee. Ok, just checking.
 About one minute later…
 Frisk: Heeheehee. Ok, you can open them now.
 As Asriel opened his eyes, Frisk handed him a mirror and when he looked at himself in the mirror, he was overly excited to see that Frisk had tied a red ribbon around his neck; a beautiful red ribbon, one that wasn’t too loose or too tight; just the right size. X3
 Asriel: *excited gasp* OH MY GOSH, I LOVE IT! *exclaimed Asriel excitedly; hugging and nuzzling Frisk with glee and blushing noticeably red* Oh my gosh, I love it so much! Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Heeheeheeheehee~!
 Frisk: Pffffffff… Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! *giggled Frisk preciously in response, giggling due to Asriel’s fur tickling her as he nuzzled her and rubbed his face against her own as if he were a cat* Azzeeheeheeheey!!! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! Azzy, cohohoohohome on!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhaahahahahahahaha!!! You knohohohohohohow how much that tihihhihihihickles me!!! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheheeeheehee!!! *snort* Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee~!!!
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheehee! Of course I do! That’s why I do it, silly! *Asriel then said cutely to Frisk as he stopped nuzzling her* Heeheeheeheehee!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! I don’t blame you; and I’m very happy to hear you love your early Christmas present from me too! X3 It looks so good on you, Azzy!
 Asriel: Heeheeheehee! I agree! X3
 Frisk: Heeheeheehee! And, uh, speaking of early Christmas presents… Heeheehee! Presents, presents, presents, presents; presents, presents, presents, presents! *sang Frisk, scurrying towards the Christmas tree and lying down on the floor next to it to eyeball her Christmas presents that she’s super excited to open in a few days… or in a few seconds XD*
 Frisk knows enough not to open her presents until Christmas Day. She’s just messing with Asriel, that’s all; like she has been for the past week or so.
 Asriel: Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! *bleated Asriel nervously in response* No, Frisk! Get away from those! We’ve told you multiple times! You have to wait until Christmas!
 With Frisk lying down on the floor next to the Christmas tree to look at her presents tucked underneath of it, she has left her bare feet completely vulnerable. So, with that observation in mind, maybe there’s something Asriel can do to those bare feet of Frisk’s that will convince her to wait until Christmas to open her presents; or, punish her for opening her presents too early. ;)
 Frisk: Aw, come on! Just a peek! Please; pretty please; pretty please with a cherry on top? *asked Frisk, wiggling her toes in an unintentionally teasing manner while sliding underneath the tree a bit further to get a better view of her presents*
 Asriel: Frisk, you get away from those presents or else…
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee; or else what, Mr. Fluffy Puffykins? *asked Frisk cheekily, wiggling her toes in an unintentionally teasing manner once again* Heeheeheeheehee! Huh? Hey, wait! Wait a minute!
 All of sudden, Asriel positioned himself on top of Frisk's legs; trapping them underneath his own legs with his back facing towards her own back; and then shortly afterwards, he tickled her bare feet, scribbling his furry fingers wildly up and down her soles.
 Asriel: Coochie coochie coo! Coochie coochie coo! *Asriel teased* Heeheeheeheehee!
 Frisk: EEEEEEEEHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *Frisk squealed and laughed hysterically in response, letting her ticklishness get the best of her* AZZY, NUUUUUUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* NOT MY FEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEET!!!!!! *she pleaded through her laughter, flailing on the floor like a fish out of water* HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!! GYAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hee hee hee. Not your feet? Hee hee hee. Then how about your toooooooooes? *asked Asriel cheekily, grinning like a mischievous young man as he began playing with Frisk's toes. Heeheeheeheehee! Kitchie kitchie kitchie koo, look who's tickling you! *he teased, sticking his fingers in between her toes to brush his fur against those overly sensitive toe stems of hers*
 Frisk: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!! *Frisk squealed hilariously in response, wiggling each of her toes wildly with every passing second as Asriel tickled in between and around each one of them, letting his fluffy and tickly fur do all of the work* HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHHAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! NOHOHOHOHOHO, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, NOT THERE!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! NOHOHOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHEEHHEHERE!!!!!! *SNORT* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEHEEHEEHEEEHEEHEEEHEEEEHEEHEEEHEEHEEEEHEEHEEHEEHEE~!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahahahahaha!
 After about a minute or so, Asriel sang a little song, a verse from "Holly Jolly Christmas" but with different words; and it caught Frisk by surprise so much that she lost all focus to her surroundings. She found Asriel's song incredibly hilarious; but also incredibly cute; and she wound up laughing so hard and so much to the point that her laughter grew silent at least 4 times during the next 2 minutes or so.  
 Asriel: Oh, ho, Frisk's Dreemurr's toes; cute just like her feet. Somebody tickle her. Make her laugh with glee. *sang Asriel cutely as he continued tickling Frisk's feet*
 Frisk: BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! AZZY, OH MY GOHOHOHOOHOHOHOHOD!!!!!!! *shouted Frisk through her even more hysterical laughter, lying down on the floor and making no attempts to tickle Asriel back due to how hard she's laughing at both tickles to her bare feet and Asriel's song* [HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!] *she laughed silently for a few seconds, overtaken by her laughter so much that all she could think about was laughing* EEEEHEEHEEHEHEEHEEHEEHEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEHEEEHEHEEHEE!!!!!!! OHOHOHOHOH MY GOHOHOHOHOHOD, AZZY, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU FLUFFY GOHOHOHHOAT BOHOHOHOHOY, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA, YOU CRACK MEEHEEHEEHEE UP SOHOHOHOHOHOHO MUCH!!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* [HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!] *SNORT* GYAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahahaha! Oh my gosh, that silent laughter! That’s when I know I’m getting you good, Frisk! Really good! Hahahahahaha! Kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie koo! *teased Asriel once more, picking up the pace a bit with his furry fingers* I’m still tickling you! Hahahahahaha!
 Frisk: GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA~!!!!!!!
 Frisk laughed at both tickles to her feet and Asriel’s song for a good two minutes; and just when Frisk thought that she was finally finished laughing at Asriel’s song, Asriel sang another song; this time, a verse from “The Christmas Song” (aka “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire”) but with different lyrics; and made her laugh incredibly hard once again.
 Asriel: Snail pie roasting on a magic fire. Goat Bro tickling your soles. Hahahahahahaha!!
 Frisk: PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF… HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! AZZY, STOHOHHOHOHOHOHOP SINGING AND TIHIHIHIHICKLING MY FEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEET!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!! YOHOHOHOHOHHOHOHHOHOHOU’RE KILLING ME HEHEHEHEHEHERE, BUDDY!!!!!!!! *Frisk claimed falsely through her hysterical laughter, blushing heavily as the tickles to her bare feet continued* [HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!] *she laughed silently again; for all she could do at this point was laugh* EEEEEEHEEHEHEEHEHEEHEHEEHEHEHEEHEHEEEHEEHEHEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* GYAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahahaha! Uh-huh, suuuuuurrrre I am! *said Asriel cheekily in response as he continued scribbling his fingers rapidly against Frisk's soles in addition to swirling and twirling his fingers in between her toes against the stems of each of them, letting his fur and scritchy nails/claws do all of the work once again* Hahahahahaha~!
 Frisk: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! YOOHOOHOOHOOU AHAHHAHAHARE!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!! HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! YOU'RE GIVING ME TOOHOOHOOHOO MANY THING TO LAHAHAHAHAHAHAUGH ABOUT!!!!!!!! *SNORT* [HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!] *SNORT* *SNORT* BWARGHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahahaha! I most certainly am! *Asriel then exclaimed both cheekily and joyfully, seconds before blowing 4 long raspberries on the balls and heels of Frisk's bare feet; one on her right heel, one on the ball or her right foot, one on her left heel, and one on the ball of her left foot* Haha! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!!
 Frisk: GYAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! AZZEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!!!!! *SNORT* [HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!] *SNORT* *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA!!!!!!!! CUHUHUHUHUHURSE YOU, FLUFFY BOHOHHOHOHOHOY!!!!!!!! *SNORT* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel is having so much fun tickling Frisk's bare feet; and Frisk had it coming too! Not just for supposedly trying to open her Christmas presents early but also for not wearing shoes and socks in her friends' and relatives' home this month! If being around fluffy boss monsters for more than a year has taught Frisk one thing, it's that being barefoot makes her feet much more inviting targets for tickle torture. ;) But Frisk was willing to take that chance this month though and multiple times, she paid the penalty! She and Chara both did! XD But she's not complaining about it though. She loves being tickled on her bare feet. Especially by her loved ones! But sometimes however, it can be a bit much; and Asriel is aware of that too, which is why he is planning on pulling her out from under the tree after at least three more minutes of tickle torture. So, until those three minutes are up, the only thing Frisk will be doing is laughing. Due to being stuck under the Christmas tree with Asriel sitting on top of her legs, it's all she can do! XD
 3 minutes later…
 Asriel: Hahahahahahaha! Ok, Frisk, I’ll pull you out now. *said Asriel, stopping his ticklish assault on Frisk’s bare feet* You ok?
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!!!! Yehehehehehes!!!!! *answered Frisk, laughing and giggling due to phantom tickles as Asriel pulled her out from under the Christmas tree* Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!!!! Oh my gosh, thahahahahahat was so fuhuhuhuhun!!!!! *she added, rolling onto her back while wiggling and splaying her 10 little toes to shake the tickly sensations in all of them plus her soles* Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! *snort* Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee~!!!!!
 Asriel: Heeheeheehee! Good! Because now it’s time for me to give you an early Christmas present!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee!!!!! Whahahahahahahahat?!?! A prehehehehehesent?!?! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Fohohohohor meeheeheeheehee?!?! *asked Frisk both excitedly and confusedly while giggling and moving into a sitting position on the floor, curious as to what Asriel is planning to give her as a present* Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee… Heeheeheehee… Heeheehee… Heehee... Hee……… What? What is it? What did you get me, hmm?
 Asriel: Something veeeeerrrrrry special. *answered Asriel, blushing red and giggling preciously while picturing how Frisk might react to his present* It’s in the basement; but d-d-don’t come down until I c-call you, all right?
 Frisk: Oh, um, o-ok then. *said Frisk awkwardly* But why do I have to wait? Is it not wrapped yet or something? *she then asked, confused as to why she wasn’t allowed to immediately follow Asriel downstairs and into the basement of Toriel’s house*
 Asriel: *sigh* Just trust me, ok? I shouldn’t be too long.
 And with that, Asriel went downstairs to supposedly do what he said he was going to do; and while waiting, Frisk just sat on the floor and admired her red and green toenail polish as she wiggled her toes lightly against the floor. Frisk doesn’t know what Asriel is intending to give her as an early Christmas present but whatever it is, she knows that she will love it no matter what. It’s the thought that counts after all but Asriel usually tends to give his friends and relatives some very thoughtful and creative presents anyway. And this year is certainly no exception! ;)
 5 minutes later…
 *Frisk’s cell phone rings*
 Frisk: Hello?
 Asriel: Ok, Frisk; you can come down now.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee! Awesome!
 After a short waiting period, Frisk went down to the basement to see what Asriel got her as an early Christmas present. Last summer, the main room in the basement became a new hangout area for the kids; one with a big television, a couple of bean bag chairs, a chair with armrests, a futon, and space for additional activities such as arts and crafts and playing with toys (they’ll probably have a pool table and/or foosball table or something in that space when they’re older); and as of right now, that’s where Asriel most likely is! :D
 Frisk: Azzy? Oh, Azzy; where are you, buddy?
 Once Frisk arrived in the basement, she was surprised to see that Asriel wasn’t anywhere in plain sight! “Where did he go?” she wondered to herself as she searched the basement for her fluffy brother. But then she stumbled upon this large box; a box that at one point contained all of the wrapping paper Toriel bought to wrap presents this year.
 Frisk: Huh? The wrapping paper box? What the heck is it doing over here? *asked Frisk confusedly as she lightly tapped the box with her left bare foot, only to get startled once SOMETHING INSIDE THE BOX STARTED MOVING AROUND* Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! Huh? What’s this?
 Frisk then noticed a tag on the box that said "To: Frisk" on one line and "From: Asriel" directly below it. It was the front of a tag and after reading it; she opened it up and read a message written by Asriel inside:
 Frisk: "Frisk, my early present to you this year is a stuffed animal version of myself. Hope you like it! Hee hee hee. X3" ...Wait! What?!?! Ok, now this I have to see!
 Frisk could barely contain her excitement after reading Asriel's message. "A stuffed animal version of Asriel; does there exist such a thing?" she wondered as she swiftly took the lid off of the wrapping paper box; an easy-to-open box designed to look like a carefully wrapped Christmas present; to see what was inside.
 Frisk: *excited gasp* OH… MY… GOD!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! AZZY!!! AZZY, THAT'S SOOOO CUUUUUUUUTE!!! YOUR GIFT TO ME IS YOURSELF!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! OH MY GOD, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
 Despite what Asriel's message said, there was no actual stuffed animal in the box. But what Frisk found in its place was even better! Inside the box was ASRIEL HIMSELF PRETENDING TO BE A LARGE STUFFED ANIMAL! :D And to add to the cuteness, he put a big red Christmas present bow on top of his head prior to positioning himself in the box. He already has a cute red ribbon around his neck so he figured a bow would be a nice touch as well. X3
 Asriel: (Awwwww! You're very welcome, Frisk. I had a feeling you would like my present. X3)
 As much as Asriel wants to talk to Frisk right now, he feels that he shouldn't. He is pretending to be a stuffed animal after all; one that supposedly can't talk; and if he wants Frisk to get the most out of her early Christmas present, then he feels that he should commit to the act as much as possible. And so far, he's doing very well; continuing to smile the same way he did the moment Frisk took the lid off of the box; but he did struggle a little during Frisk's excited reaction though. So, as long as Frisk doesn't do anything to make him break character, then he should be ok.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee! Wow, Azzy! I can't believe you did this! Very unique idea! But I'm curious though. What made you want to do something like this?
 Asriel: ………
 Frisk: Uh, A-Azzy? Hello? Azzy? *asked Frisk, waving her left hand in front of Asriel's face to try and get his attention* Azzy?
 Asriel: ………
 Frisk: Ohhhhhhhh! I see what's going on here. Heeheeheeheehee. Sure, Azzy; I'll play along. Heeheeheeheehee.
 After realizing what was going on, Frisk then tried to lift Asriel out of the box. Under normal circumstances, Asriel would've got out of the box himself; but because he is fully committed to acting like a stuffed animal, he didn't move a single inch, forcing Frisk to move him around herself while he was deadweight.
 Frisk: Oooof! Azzy, you're heavier than you look! *said Frisk as she somewhat struggled to lift Asriel up and out of the wrapping paper box*
 After a small struggle, Frisk managed to get Asriel out of the box; by tipping it on its side in a way that she was able to force Asriel to roll out of it. Then once Asriel was out of the box, Frisk removed the red bow from Asriel’s head and cuddled with him for about 15 minutes; pretending he was a large stuffed animal all the while; just as Asriel wanted her to do as he lied on the floor next to her completely motionless except for occasional blinking. It was difficult for Asriel to stay still all the while Frisk cuddled with him; due to how much he wanted to hug Frisk back and nuzzle her; but the young boss monster wanted to do everything he could to stay committed to his stuffed animal act and he found a way. But after those 15 minutes were over however, Frisk, being the (playfully) mischievous girl she is, wanted to see if she could make Asriel break character. In other words, find out if she could somehow make her "stuffed animal" "come to life." She's already got him blushing noticeably red after all of that cuddling but blushing isn't enough for her. She wants him to make some noise and there's one guaranteed way to get some noises out of him too. But first, she’d like to do some teasing; to see if she can make him break character before the main course of action. ;)
 15 minutes later…
 Frisk: Mmmmmmm... Oh, I love my new stuffed animal so much! And for a stuffed animal, he’s very warm too! So warm that I think I’ll warm up my feet on his fluffy belly. *said Frisk cheekily, wiggling her toes while moving into a sitting position next to Asriel* Heeheeheeheehee~!
 With that said; Frisk lifted up Asriel’s shirt and rubbed her somewhat cold bare feet on Asriel’s belly; thinking that doing so would make him “come to life.” But instead, she wound up giggling preciously; due to Asriel’s fur brushing against her bare feet as she rubbed them all over his belly. XD
 Frisk: Pfffffffffffffffffffff… Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! Ohohohohohohohohoh my gohohohohohohohosh!!! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! Ugh, I always fohohohohohorget hohohohohow much thahahahahat tihihihihihihihihickles me!!! Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee~!!!
 Asriel: ……… (Pfffff… Heeheeheeheehee!!! Oh no, not her giggling!!! Heeheeheeheeheehee!!!) *thought Asriel worriedly to himself the moment he heard Frisk giggle*
 It was hard to resist giggling along with Frisk but somehow, Asriel managed to stay in character. But after about two minutes however, Frisk tried something different with her feet. Rather than rubbing them on Asriel’s belly, she instead held them directly in front of Asriel’s face; as close as she could without touching Asriel’s head; and wiggled her toes to tease the young boss monster himself, believing that doing so will make him want to grab her feet and tickle the ever-loving daylights out of them.
 Frisk: Hahaha! Hey, Azzy! Tickle my feet again, please! Come on! You know you want to! *teased Frisk as she wiggled her toes in Asriel’s face, causing the young goat boy’s face to fluster with tomato-red blush* Enough pretending to be stuffed animal already!
 He does! He so does! His tomato-red face says it all! But he can’t! For the sake of this early Christmas present to Frisk, Asriel wants to do everything he can to stay in character! And to stay in character, he needs to sacrifice the things he desires most. It was a massive struggle for Asriel but with both patience and perseverance, he managed to prevent himself from “coming to life” all the while Frisk teased him with her bare feet.
 3 minutes later…
 Frisk: Ugh! All right, Azzy; time to bring out the big guns! *said Frisk in a surprisingly intimidating tone, scaring Asriel a little in the process* Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? *Frisk then asked in playful pet talk a few seconds later, lifting up Asriel's red and green striped shirt to pet him on his fluffy belly* Heeheeheeheehee~!
 Oh no! Belly rubs! Asriel's weakness! Well, that and one other thing; hehe XD. It's surefire way to get him kicking his right leg repeatedly as if he were a dog! XD But not this time though! It was extremely difficult for Asriel but all the while Frisk pet him, he kept up his act as a stuffed animal! What a little trooper! X3
 3 minutes later…
 Frisk: Ugh! Ok, now you’re asking for it, Azzy! *shouted Frisk, raising both of her hands up while making claw gestures with them* If this doesn’t make you “come to life,” I don’t know what will!
 Asriel: (Uh oh!) *Asriel shuddered in his thoughts*
 A few seconds later, Frisk began wiggling her ten fingers wildly all over every inch of Asriel’s exposed fluffy belly, causing Asriel to immediately burst into a fit of bubbly laughter that was too pure for this world.
 Frisk: Kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie koo!!! *teased Frisk with a giggle, relishing in the sweet sound that was her brother’s laughter for the next minute or so* Heeheeheeheeheeheehee~!!!
 Asriel: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! FRIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHISK, NOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!!!!! *pleaded Asriel through his precious laughter, wiggling and squiggling on the floor as ticklish sensations overflowed his ultra-sensitive stomach* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOT THE TIHIHHIHIHICKLES!!!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA HEEHEHEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE HOHOHOHOHHHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!! Azzy, that wasn’t even a second!! Heeheeheeheeheehee!! *gasp* Wait a second! *Frisk realized something all of a sudden* Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! My very own “TICKLE ME AZZY!!” Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Similar to that ticklish red monster toy but better!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Tickle, tickle, tickle, Azzy!! Come on!! Laugh!! *demanded Frisk, mere seconds before poking Asriel’s tummy just one time*
 Asriel: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! THAT TICKLES!!
 Frisk: Huh? …Coochie coochie coo! *she teased once more, this time gliding her index fingers slowly along his sides*
 Asriel: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!! OH BOY!!
 Frisk: *gasp* Oh my god! No way! But just to be sure…
 Noticing that Asriel was saying the same exact quotes as the ticklish red monster toy Frisk mentioned earlier; 2 of the 3 quotes to be exact; Frisk then scribbled her fingers wildly all over his torso once again to find out if he would say the third quote. And he did! Through all of his adorably precious laughter! X3
 Asriel: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA!!!!!! *SNORT* AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* OH BOY, THAT TICKLES!!
 Frisk: *delighted gasp* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! AZZY!! OH MY GOD!! AZZY!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Just like that red monster!! *Frisk fangirled, seconds before blowing several raspberries over Asriel’s bellybutton; to hear those adorable screechy bleats of his that sound like that of an actual baby goat* Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff…
 Asriel: Wait! Frisk, no… BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEHEE!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HOHOHOHOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel was laughing so hard he couldn’t form a single sentence. Though not as tickly as Undyne’s raspberries, Frisk’s raspberries are enough to send Asriel over the edge with insanely hysterical laughter! And Frisk knows it too! Asriel was laughing, squealing, screaming, snorting, and everything in between for the next while; 2 minutes to be exact; and once those 2 minutes were over, Frisk gave him a much-needed breather; but only so she could hug him and then leave momentarily to grab a few things.
 2 minutes later…
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee!! Oh my god, Azzy!! Best early Christmas present ever!! *shouted Frisk happily while giving Asriel a quick hug* Heeheeheeheeheehee!!
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!! Glahahahahahahahad you like it, Frihihihhihisk!!! *said Asriel, hugging Frisk back while laughing and giggling due to lingering ticklish sensations on his fluffy belly* Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha~!!!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee!! So cute!! *Frisk said in response to Asriel’s laughing and giggling as she started making her way out of the basement*
 Asriel: Hahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahaaha!!! Hehehehehey!!! Hahahahahahaha!!! Frisk, hahahahahahaha, where are you going?!!! *asked Asriel confusedly while continuing to laugh and giggle due to phantom tickles* Hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha~!!!
 Before Asriel could get an answer out of Frisk; Frisk left the room, leaving the young boss monster himself in a state of utter confusion. At first, he wondered if he should follow Frisk; to see what she was up to; but then he realized that maybe what she’s planning on doing when she returns requires him to continue his act as a stuffed animal. So, because of that factor, Asriel felt that he should stay put; to see what Frisk may or may not have in store for him next.
 Asriel: (Heeheeheeheeheehee!! Oh boy! I wonder what Frisk is gonna do next!!) *Asriel thought giddily to himself, wiggling his six toes cutely as he lied on the floor minding his own business*
 5 minutes later, Frisk returned with 2 bags. From Asriel’s position, it was hard to make out was in the bags but something tells Asriel that he’ll find out what’s in them soon enough.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee!! Ok, Azzy; time to take you over to the chair. *said Frisk, seconds before proceeding to drag a motionless Asriel along the basement floor*
 A few moments later, Frisk dragged Asriel along the floor over to a chair; the chair with armrests to be exact; and once she got over there, she wondered how she was going to get Asriel in the chair while he was deadweight.
 Asriel: Hey, Frisk. I’ll get in the chair for you; on one condition. *said Asriel cheekily, purposely breaking character*
 Frisk: Oh? And what might that be? *asked Frisk confusedly in response*
 Asriel: Kneel down on the floor next to me.
 Frisk: Heh. Well ok then.
 Frisk did as Asriel asked her to do. She kneeled on the floor right next to her adorable brother. And once she did, Asriel pinned her down on her back, lifted up her shirt and tickled her mercilessly for about three minutes; scribbling his furry fingers up and down along her sides as well as nuzzling her belly.
 Asriel: TICKLE ATTACK!!!
 Frisk: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!! AZZYHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!!! OHOHHOHOHHOHOHHOHOHOH, YOU ARE SOHOHOHOHOHO DEHEHEHEHEHHEEAD!!!!!!!! *said Frisk through her hysterical princess-like laughter without any actual spite as her stomach quivered due to immensely tickly fur brushing against her torso at an alarmingly fast rate* HAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheeheehee!! Don’t worry, Frisk! After I’m done here, we can do whatever you want! *assured Asriel sincerely; but it was hard for Frisk to tell* Sound good?
 Frisk: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! OKAHAHAHAHAHAHAY!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!! I’LL TAHAHAHAHAHAHHAKE YOUR WHOHOHOHHOHORD FOHOHOHOHOR IT!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE~!!!!!!!!
 Asriel: Hahahahaha! Good! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!!
 And just when Frisk thought that the tickle torture couldn’t get any more intense, Asriel started blowing raspberries on her stomach and over her bellybutton. But not just that though! In addition to blowing raspberries, he also rubbed his face against her belly as if he were a cat. All while continuing his ticklish assault on her sides with his furry fingers.
 Frisk: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! OHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH MY GOHOHOHOHOHOHOSH, NOHOHOHOHOHOHOT RASPBEHEHEHEHEHEHEHERRIES!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* BWARGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 3 minutes later, Asriel stopped tickling Frisk; just as he promised he would. Then, a few seconds later, Asriel, knowing that Frisk wanted him to sit in the chair with armrests proceeded to sit in that said chair and let Frisk whatever she’s intending to do either with him or to him for the next while. And to the young prince’s surprise, Frisk took a set of 300 multi-color mini Christmas lights, plugged them into a nearby outlet, and wrapped around them loosely around his torso, arms, legs, and the chair itself. Then after she did that, she took a second set of multi-color Christmas lights; one with 100 mini lights; plugged them into the set of 300 lights, and wrapped them around his ankles and a nearby footrest that he had placed his feet on not too long ago; not too firmly around his ankles but firmly enough that Asriel was unable to escape his predicament.  Then once that was taken care of, Frisk pulled out a red ribbon and tied it around Asriel’s two innermost toes, binding them together in a way that made it impossible for him to pull his feet apart.
 Asriel: Pfffffffffffffffffffffff… Hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha!! *Asriel snickered, giggled, and laughed all the while Frisk tied a ribbon around two of his toes* Ohohohohohohoh!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!! So, you wahahahahahahahahanna tickle my feeheeheeheeheeheeheet, huh? Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheheeheeheehee!! Yeah, heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee, probably shohhohoohhohould hahahahahave seen that coming after whahahahahahaahat I did to yohohohour feeheeheeheeheet earlier!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~!!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!! Yes, you should’ve!! *Frisk agreed, right as she finished tying Asriel’s innermost toes together* And hey, look! You have two ribbons now! One around your neck! And one around your toes! *she then pointed out to Asriel, gliding 8 of her 10 fingers lightly down both of Asriel’s snow white soles from the bases of his toes to his heels for a little less than 10 seconds*
 Asriel: PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF… BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! FRIHIHIIHIHIHIHIHISK, BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I WAHAHAHAHAHHAASN’T REHEHEHEHEHHEEADY!!!!! GAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee!! Consider that a little warm-up, Mr. Fluffy Puffykins!! Because for the next half-hour or so, your feet are all mine! Mwahahahahahahaha!!
 They most certainly were! For 25 minutes, Frisk tickled Asriel’s feet like there was no tomorrow; and she did so with a variety of Christmas-themed tickle utensils in addition to her own ten fingers.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!! Coochie coochie coo!! Coochie coochie coo!! *teased Frisk “evilly” as she began tickling Asriel’s feet* Heeheeheeheeheehee!!
 Asriel: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! FRIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHISK, GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, GAH, THAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES SOHOHOHOHO MUCH!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 To start it all out, Frisk tickled Asriel’s feet with her fingers for 3 minutes, scribbling them wildly all over every inch of her brother’s snow white soles as well as wiggling and twisting them in between his six toes…
 Frisk: Hahahahahaha!! Azzy, the fluffy goat boy; has such super ticklish feet! And if you tickle them just right, you can really make him bleat! *sang Frisk as she continued tickling Asriel’s feet, replacing the words of “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and causing Asriel to laugh even harder in response* Hahahahahaha!!
 Asriel: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! OHOHHOHOHOHOHOH GOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOSH, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHON’T SING TOOHOOHOOHOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* THAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT MAHAHAHAHAHAHAKES IT WOHOHOHHOHORSE!!!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 Then she used a red feather for two minutes; gliding it along every inch of his right sole as well as sawing it in between his toes on that same foot…
 Asriel: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used a green feather for two minutes; gliding it along every inch of his left sole as well as sawing it in between his toes on that same foot…
 Asriel: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! SOHOHOHOHOHHO TICKLY!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used two multicolored feathers for two minutes; gliding both of them along every inch of Asriel’s soles as well as in between his toes (one for each foot)…
 Asriel: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!! GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! OHOHOHOH GOHOHOHHOD, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, NOHOHOHOHOT TWO FEHEHEHEATHERS!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used a red toothbrush with green bristles for two minutes; brushing every inch of his right sole and three right foot toes…
 Asriel: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 Then she used a green toothbrush with red bristles for two minutes; brushing every inch of his left sole and three left foot toes…
 Asriel: BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 Then she used both toothbrushes for two minutes; brushing every inch of both of Asriel’s snow white soles (she didn’t tickle his toes or in between them because she didn’t have any free hands to hold his feet still)…
 Asriel: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! OHOHHOOHOOHHOH GOHOHOHOHHOHOHOD!!!!!!!! *SNORT* HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! OHOHOHOHOHOH JEEHEEHEEHEEHEEZ!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! IT’S TOOHOOHOOHOOHOO MUCH!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!
 Then she used two candy canes for two minutes; poking his soles and toes with them as well as gliding them along his soles…
 Asriel: HAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! HEHEHEHHEHEHEY, HAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA, YOHOHOHOHOHOU’RE SUPPOSED TO EEEHEEHEEHEEHEEAT THOHOHOHOHOSE; HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, NOT TIHIHIHIHIIHICKLE FEEHEEHEEHEEHEEET WITH THEM!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used a strand of gold tinsel garland for two minutes; “shining” every inch of Asriel’s soles with it as well as “flossing” all six of his toes with it…
 Asriel: AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!!!! *SNORT* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA!!!!!! OHOHOHOHOHOHOH MY GOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOSH, THAHAHAHAHAAHAHAT’S DIFFERENT!!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 The she used two cotton balls for two minutes; rubbing them against every inch of Asriel’s soles and six toes as well as in between his toes (one for each foot and she did this right after dumping an entire bag of them all over Asriel’s feet to simulate snow)…
 Asriel: PFFFFFFFFFFFFFF… HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH GOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOSH, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHA, THOHOHHOHOHOSE REEHEEHEEHEEALLY, *SNORT* REEHEEHEEHEEALLY TIHIHIHIHICKLE TOOHOOHOOHOO!!!!! *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!
 Then she used two stuffed reindeers for two minutes; rubbing their noses and antlers all over every inch of Asriel’s soles (and to make things more intense for Asriel, she gave the reindeers silly voices to make him laugh even harder)…
 Asriel: HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!! NOHOHOHOHHOHO, REINDEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEERS!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! BAD REINDEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEERS!!!!!! *Asriel played along with Frisk through his hysterical laughter* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!
 And then, while holding mistletoe next to Asriel’s feet, she blew raspberries on Asriel’s feet for two whole minutes…
 Frisk: Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!!! Pbfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff…
 Asriel: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* *SNORT* *SNORT* *SNORT* BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE HOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 2 minutes later…
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheeheehee!! *giggled Frisk as she stopped tickling Asriel* Adorable, soft, warm, lovable, huggable, and ticklish; I don’t want to stop. *she added, giving his right foot a platonic kiss and then his left foot shortly afterwards (under the rules of the mistletoe she’s still holding in one of her hands)*
 Asriel: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!! Then don’t!! *suggested Asriel with an exhausted tear-soaked look on his face while laughing due to lingering ticklish sensations on his bare feet* Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! *snort* Hahahahahahaha!! *snort* Hahaha!! Haha!! Haha!! Ha!! Ha. Whew!
 Frisk: Oh, but I must! Because if I leave you like this, then it will be difficult for you to exact your revenge! *stated Frisk with a cheekily smile while freeing Asriel from his bind, causing Asriel to perk up in response*
 Asriel: Wait, what?! A-are you serious, Frisk?!
 Frisk: Pfft! Of course I am! You know me, Azzy! I love being tickled! Especially on my feet! *Frisk assured Asriel, wiggling her toes against the floor in anticipation*
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheehee! That, you do! Heeheeheeheehee! Ok, I’ll do it.
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee! Terrific!
 As soon as Frisk completely freed Asriel from his bind, Asriel left the basement briefly to grab something from his bedroom. And while Asriel was doing that, Frisk positioned herself in the chair the same way Asriel was positioned for 25 whole minutes. But she did not use Christmas tree lights to bind herself though. Instead, she positioned herself into a giant Christmas gift bag (a big red plastic bag with snowflakes on it) with her head sticking out at the top of the bag and sat down in the chair with her feet resting on the nearby footrest. Then once Asriel returned, Frisk commanded him to tear open the bottom of the bag to reveal her bare feet for him to tickle.
 Asriel: I’m ba… Heeheeheehee! Well, look at you all wrapped up in that gift bag! Heeheeheeheehee!
 Frisk: Heeheeheeheehee! I knew you’d like it. Heeheeheeheehee! Now, technically you’re not supposed to open this until Christmas but… I don’t think tearing open the bottom for a little peek won’t hurt anything… if you, um, get what I’m saying. *said Frisk with a wink and a real big grin on her face as she kicked her legs lightly and wiggled her toes inside the large bag*
 Asriel: Heeheeheeheeheehee! Oh, I do. I so do, Frisk! Heeheeheehee!
 Asriel then tore open the bottommost portion of the giant gift bag, revealing Frisk’s cute bare feet. Then a few seconds later, he tied her ankles to the footrest with some red tinsel garland; to prevent her from pulling her legs away. And with a red ribbon, he tied her two big toes together; to prevent her from pulling her feet apart.
 Frisk: Heeheeeheeheehee! Perfect, Azzy! Enjoy my second early Christmas present to you!
 Asriel: Heeheeheehee! Thanks, Frisk; for everything you do for me. *said Asriel with a heartwarming smile*
 Frisk: Hehe; of course, Azzy. You’re very much welcome. And if you like this present so much, I can’t wait to see your reaction to the main thing I got you this year!
 Asriel: Hehe, yeah, same here. I bet that you and Chara are going to love what I got you!
 Little does Frisk know, Asriel got both her and Chara THEIR VERY OWN “TICKLE ME AZZY” TOYS for Christmas this year! :O Gaster, Sans, Alphys, and Monica helped him make them; Monica for sewing the toys’ skins and capturing Asriel’s likeness; and Gaster, Sans, and Alphys with everything else (this included tickling Asriel to record his laughter for the toys’ audio XD).
 Frisk: Heeheeheehee! I bet I will! But am I going to enjoy more than you tickling my feet in a few seconds?
 Asriel: Hehe; maybe. But, uh, I’ll let you be the judge of that. *said Asriel with a cute smile as he began tickling Frisk’s bare feet and continued doing so for the next 25 minutes* Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!! Kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie kitchie koo!! Hahahahahahaha!!
 Frisk: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH; HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA, OHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOH JEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEZ!!!!!!!!!! *SNORT* BWARGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 For the first 13 minutes, Asriel tickled every sensitive inch of Frisk’s bare feet with 3 toothbrushes (a red toothbrush with green bristles, a green toothbrush with red bristles, and a red and white toothbrush with a candy cane pattern); getting her everywhere on her soles and the tops of feet as well as on the pads of her toes, the stems of her toes, and even in the spaces in between her toes. But that was nothing compared to how he tickled her during the last 12 minutes though. During the last 12 minutes, Asriel DREW ON FRISK’S BARE FEET with a 4-color pen (red, green, blue, and black), which he personally won while playing a Christmas-themed game at school; drawing Christmas wreathes on the balls of her feet (2 wreathes per foot) and Christmas trees on her heels (2 trees per foot) and writing “MERRY” on her right foot toes (one letter per toe), “CHRISTMAS” vertically on her right sole, “HAPPY” on her left foot toes (one letter per toe), and “HOLIDAYS” vertically on her left sole. Asriel had so much fun drawing on Frisk’s bare feet and Frisk in turn had so much fun being tickled by Asriel in that way. Her hysterical laughter said it all! XD
 Frisk: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! HOHOHOHOHO, HOHOHOHOHOHO, HOHOHOHOHO!!!!!!!!!! MEHEHEHEHEHEHERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!!!!!!
 THE END.

not coding homework technically, but i think you could still point me in the right direction. I do a lot of coding but it's all for data sciency stuff. like i don't know any computer science, or what makes a "good code", and most of the things you complain about are things i've never heard of.... where should i start looking if i want to actually understand how to do things well
ooooo so this can be a bit tricky since data science by nature is actually pretty different from the type of programming i tend to talk about in that the goals are fundamentally different
i kind of googled and skimmed this but i think this article goes over it pretty well, but to offer my own thoughts on it basically data science to me is very research/developmental based and not necessarily meant to be maintained and/or run for a long time. as such it doesn’t have to necessarily be efficient, the focus is more on experimentation and maximizing the different types of results you can get.
production code on the other hand DOES have those intentions; at that point the research is done, we select our best algorithm(s) and we want to maximize efficiency and maintainability so that it can easily be scaled. but of course there’s a happy union between the two if you know where to draw the line.
that being said, a lot of the work i do is take such “data sciency” code and productionize it, which is why i bitch and groan about it all the time lmao (perhaps unfairly afdjklad). so it’d certainly be wonderful for me if the people giving me this code were more conscious of good software practices associated with production code.
but i’m not sure where to point you somewhere specific other than just probably googling “good programming/software practices” hahaha. but these are some points that i think are good starters. things in bold are like “topics” you can probably google easily.
understand, like really understand, what DRY is, and a lot of the techniques that come with it
this stands for “don’t repeat yourself” and there are a bunch of acronyms like this in software design but i consider DRY one of the more important ones and you’ll see it reflected in a lot of other principles
the goal of DRY is to literally write less code. if you find yourself repeating the same thing over and over, you should wrap that code in a maintainable function or class. the point being, should you need to CHANGE that code, you only need to do it in one place, and not the 82394832 different places that use that logic
have a good idea of what procedural vs functional vs object oriented programming is
procedural has some benefits but in most cases its written out of lack of knowledge of good programming principles 
i think data science tends to be pretty functional in the better cases although i’m sure with bigger tasks it benefits from OOP is as well
a lot of the code i tend to write is OOP, which is a whole subject on its own, and is the one that requires the most conscious knowledge of design imo
as such, learning about OOP in general is probably a good step towards learning good software design, but may be out of context for data science usages
note none of these paradigms are mutually exclusive though, if anything they usually all happen at once in some form or another
parameterize things to give flexibility and avoid hard-coded values
this ties in pretty closely to DRY
in data science i think you guys tend to have a lot of “magic number”, e.g. hard-coded values that might represent thresholds or whatever
stop doing that :(
at the very least, extract those numbers as a named constant that you can reference throughout your code, again so if that number is tweaked during development (as it probably will be) you only need to change it once
or, by making it an input to your program, you have the flexibility of executing your algorithm several times with different input parameters to match different situations
from a production standpoint this is valuable because you don’t have to change the internal code/algorithm to get different results, simply the inputs
i feel like that isn’t entirely useful but hopefully it gives you an idea jdklfadj ofc i’m always down to talk about something specific at more length!!! at the end of the day good programming practice comes solely out of experience. you have to do it for yourself and see the inefficiencies for yourself to really understand where you can write “better code”

Just finished watching "Scoob!"
Ok, as a life time Scooby-Doo/Hanna-Barbera fan I feel like I have to say (before getting into it) the movie could have definitely been better
!- HOWEVER -!
It really wasnt a bad movie as some would have you believe, and I can say i thoroughly enjoyed it.
With that out of the way let's focus on the positive first and then lead you into the more critical part of my review, okay ^__^?
* (!~POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW~!) *
For starters, one I really liked was all the references to all the Hana-Barbera properties that are littered throughout this movie. It was so great, I honestly was expecting to see speed buggy crew to show up (or maybe I missed it, lol)
Another thing I loved was the modern remake of the "Scooby-Doo Where are you?" Openning. It was so amazing and great to see that (definitely sang along to it)
Also (as an aspiring animator/artist) I have to say I couldnt get enough of the character designs when they first dropped. Usually I feel a bit let down when I see remake designs of childhood shows but man as soon as I saw these all those months ago I knew I had to see the movie no matter what.
Finally despite what I say below here the movie had a lot of heart with its story and it got me to honestly laugh quite a bit, way more than I was expecting. (and that was with my inner fanboy trying really hard to criticize and complain about every little detail, hahaha)
Now, what I found that could have used fixing(mostly minor, but hey it's a review right?)
For one the voice acting. Hold on, hold on, dont rush to conclusions. Overall the cast wasnt too bad, I mean they werent my preferred choice but they all seemed to fit well in this new scooby gang (or should I say Scoob gang)....All except one.....yup you know where this is going....Shaggy. Shaggy's voice was so jarring and stood out so much that majority of the time that he would be talking it would constantly take me out of the movie. Like why, why Will Forte as Shaggy. (Also, a small bit of Tracey Morgan's captain caveman, but mainly Will Forte's Shaggy)
Some other things I found could use fixing were
-The "How Scooby got his name" scene I mean come on his name is Scoobert damn it! (lol please dont take me to serious with this part)
-Fred being dumb as a post. I mean come on, I know we have the tendency to call Fred a himbo in this fandom but he isnt actually stupid (as the movie makes him seem). Hes more like that kid in school with good grades and is book smarts but when you talk to them outside of school they're a bit ditsy and you wonder how they do so well, you know?
Now the final "negative" point
The movie felt more like those scooby doo episodes around the middle of the Scooby-Doo franchise where the focus was more on Shaggy, Scooby, and the Guest Star than the early Scooby episodes and the Golden Age Scooby movies where the focus was on the gang being together solving mysteries.
Honestly if the movie was more like how the childhood meet up scene went I think it would have been perfect.
Now, with all that said. If you're still reading thanks for listening to what I had to say...er, reading...oh you know what i mean.
I hope you found my review helpful/entertaining, now go watch "Scoob!" and see what you think about it yourself (I don't think you'll regret it)
Overall: 7/8 out of 10

✏: Do you have a process when it comes to making OCs? Can you make one out of thin air or do you take months to build them? 🖓: Is there a OC you have that just doesn't click with you yet?
{i am the caretaker of souls} ✏: Do you have a process when it comes to making OCs? Can you make one out of thin air or do you take months to build them? I just answered this for another ask, but about Tumblr muses... so I guess I'll talk about book characters, which is a completely different process for me. Also I just realized there was a second part to the question that I forgot to answer, hahaha. A lot of times when I create characters for books, I'm trying to create a timeline, a plot, a story arc, or something like that. Instead of just following a burst of inspiration, I'm trying to create families and relationships and tiers of government and things like that (I write a lot of medieval fantasies, heh). In that case, I'll usually start with an idea for a plot or a character arc and build the character around that or build them for the purpose they're needed. And then I'll just... word vomit into a Word doc, basically, heh. I'll literally just start writing about the character and see where it takes me. I'll describe them, talk about their likes/dislikes, their motivations, what brought them to this point where they start in the story, anything I can think of. And I'll save that file and just keep adding to it as I write the story, so that I remember my original ideas for the characters. Other than that, I just see where the story goes and let the character develop as it will.
I can definitely make a character out of thin air. Very easily. It's my strong suit. Making worlds, maps, languages, story arcs, magic systems... those are a lot more work and require more thought for me. But just pulling a character out of nothing? Sure I can do that, no problem. It just comes very easily to me. Now... really loving the characters, bonding with it, feeling that emotional connection to it as a writer, that takes time. Getting up to the level of detail that I've come to require of myself for major OCs, that also takes time. But to just come up with a random OC with a basic description, background, motivations, and story starter? That's super easy for me.
🖓: Is there a OC you have that just doesn't click with you yet?
Hmm...... that's a really good question. And it's kindof shocking to me that I can't think of one off the top of my head. Even characters I hate, the villains and the really nasty people, I end up with some kind of affection for just because I created them. If a OC doesn't click with me, I generally don't keep them. Because I need to be inspired and excited about the character to want to keep writing about them and continuing their story. If I don't care or I'm just really not getting them at all... then why would I keep writing them? So I'd have to say no, I click with all the OCs I end up writing in any meaningful capacity, because that's kindof a prerequisite of me writing them in the first place.

[Sengoku Night Blood] Toyotomi Hideyoshi【Doc in a White Coat】5☆ Story Translation: Dr. Hideyoshi's treatment!
**Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut *Name will remain as my normal ( ラン ) ✾ Senbura will be terminating service on the 25th of December✾
Hideyoshi: Coming in! How's your leg? Has the pain from your sprain let up yet?
Ran: Oh, Hideyoshi-san. Sorry for making you worry about me. It doesn't hurt anymore, so I think it should be fine.
Hideyoshi: I see. Still, you're barred from pushing yourself while that sprain heals, even if it doesn't hurt. Now, time to change out your bandages for new ones and re-apply the ointment.
Ran: I-I can do that myself!
Hideyoshi: No can't do. I'll do it for you so just sit still. It'll be bad if your condition worsens all because you overdid it while trying to change them.
She ducked her head in embarrassment as gently chided her in a way that one would, to a small child.
Ran: ...Alright...I'll leave it to you.
Hideyoshi: No problem, you can leave it all to me! How about you sit down and show me your leg, for starters? I'll be taking the bandages off, so do tell me if it hurts.
Ran: O-Okay...
Hideyoshi: Alright then, let's have a look at it. Ahh, the swelling seems to have gone down so that's a good start. I'll just re-apply then ointment then.
I gently wiped away the remnants of the previously applied ointment on her leg with a wet towel.
Ran: Ngh!
Hideyoshi: Sorry, that hurt, didn't it?
Ran: No, it didn't hurt at all...but it was a little ticklish.
Hideyoshi: Huh. I see.
Ran: Sorry. I'll try my best to bear with it so please, don't mind me.
Hideyoshi: (So she says...But with that reaction, it only makes me want to tease her even more. Hm, maybe I shall.)
I purposely ran my fingertips up and down her leg, slowly but surely, feeling as her leg jerked in response.
Ran: Eek! T-That's ticklish!
Hideyoshi: What? But I'm just re-applying the ointment! Come on now, surely you've got more than just that in you? Do your best to bear with it.
Ran: You're definitely doing this on purpose, aren't you!?
Hideyoshi: Hahaha! Sorry, I say! Here. Now I just have to re-wrap it in a clean set of bandages so keep still.
Hideyoshi: (I'd love to continue on and see more of those cute reactions of hers, but it'll be defeat my original purpose in being here if it causes her leg injury to worsen. I suppose I should stop.)
━━━━━━━∘◦ ✾ ◦∘━━━━━━━
Hideyoshi: How's it? Are the bandages too tight?
Ran: Not at all; it's great, actually. Thank you very much for doing this for me.
Hideyoshi: You're welcome. This concludes the treatment for today. Take care then.
Ran: Heh. You're just like a doctor.
Hideyoshi: A doctor? What's that?
Ran: Someone who dons a white coat and goes around treating illnesses and injuries alike. I guess it's my world's version of a physician...?
Hideyoshi: Hmm...I might be up for donning the same thing and treating your injuries dressed as such.
Ran: I think it'll suit you well so maybe...
Hideyoshi: You're making me feel regretful for not wearing that here and now while treating that leg of yours...Oh no, I should really return to work soon. You can just stay in your room and take it easy for now.
━━━━━━━∘◦ ✾ ◦∘━━━━━━━
Hideyoshi: I brought some snacks along with me, so how about we eat them to-
The sun was already starting to set when I came round her room for the second time today, only to see her all sprawled out on the floor, asleep.
Hideyoshi: Were you studying up on the words of this world since you couldn't go out? You'll catch a cold if you sleep out here.
Ran: ......
Hideyoshi: Well then, no one can fault me for this.
Seeing as how she was probably not going to grace me with her presence in the waking world anytime soon, I gathered her in my arms and made to move her to the bed without waking her up in the process.
Hideyoshi: Still, you look absolutely defenseless when asleep like that. *Yawns* ...Even I'm feeling sleepy now.
Looking at how well she slept, I ended up succumbing to the temptation of sleep soon after...
━━━━━━━∘◦ ✾ ◦∘━━━━━━━
Hideyoshi: Mmngh...I fell asleep just like that? Huh? What's this?
There was a white lab coat lying atop my lap, for some odd reason along with a written note atop the writing table. I didn't remember either of this being here previously.
I glanced around the room, in an attempt to regain my bearings. The door slid open, as she entered the room.
Ran: Sensei, I-
Hideyoshi: S-Sensei!? Uh, what's wrong...?
Ran: There's something I'd like to talk to you about...
She regarded me with teary eyes as I tried to wrap my mind around this newly-found situation of mine.
Ran: My heart beats like crazy whenever I see you, and my body gets all hot and bothered...but I don't know why it's reacting as such...
Ran: So, please... give me a medical examination!
Hideyoshi: A medical examination? You don't mean-!?
She started taking off her clothes before my very eyes, as I sat there, shell-shocked and stunned into silence...
━━━━━━━∘◦ ✾ ◦∘━━━━━━━
Hideyoshi: ......!!
My eyes snapped open. It was already dark out and glancing to the side, I saw her still sleeping soundly.
Hideyoshi: A dream...
Hideyoshi: (I suppose it's a good thing it was, too. She was so sexy and way bolder than how she usually is...)
Hideyoshi: (...Still, it's a little of a pity that it was only just a dream.)
Watching her sleep all so soundly, I realized that there was a cuteness to her, one that even the dream-her could never dream of replicating.
Hideyoshi: (I suppose I must have fallen head-first into the rabbit hole since I think that you're still cute, no mater what it is you do.)
Hideyoshi: ......
I pressed a kiss onto her forehead, hoping that this turbulence of feelings within me would be conveyed in one way or another.
