#this took a long time to finish and all but aaah im happy

[lvvcian]

hello!! :D this is my first request ever so im sorry if i worded it or did it wrong. also english is not my first language so im sorry if this makes no sense.

i have a request for The disastrous life of saiki k with a romantic saiki x reader(gender neutral) pairing.

Heres my idea! so aiura and toritsuka start seeing some girl constantly following saiki during school and aiura and toritsuka are like “😨⁉️ lets help him get away from this stalker!” so aiura and toritsuka start doing dumb goofy stuff to sabotage the reader from following saiki and in the end it is revealed that saiki and the reader are dating so reader and saiki have been talking telepathically so it just LOOKS like the reader has been tailing saiki. so yea basically crack fic💀

maybe as a little bonus you could include some fluff between saiki and reader<3

────────────────────

☆ aaah the famous trio <3 also first Saiki fic, very happy about it c:

☆ I AM SO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG :'C it's 1:33am here, so I'm sorry if the ending is shitty , no energy fr but wanted to finish this today ":/

☆ (tw! slight bulling and not cool jokes ; swearing) ; gender neutral reader , fluff, crack fic ; Saiki has longer hair in here! Just a lil bit :)

☆ saiki talking normally ; saiki speaking in your mind ; your thoughts

☆ enjoy <3

"Do you think we should tell some people about... y'know" You looked up at Saiki. It was a normal sunday and you two were supposed to have a so called 'date' (which was sitting in comfortable silence at some cafe and enjoying each others company). But the weather had some other plans and once you stepped outside it started to rain. Of course Saiki could've change it in matter of seconds but he suggested to stay at home. They were too many people from his school on the mainstreet anyway.

"And draw attention to ourselves? Definitly not. We just have to keep the distance between us for school time ..." Saiki looked down at you. Who would've thought that Saiki out of all people would be the first to have a partner. "Enjoy while you can... I'll teleport you on the roof if you hug me at school..." you just giggled and snuggled up closer into his chest.

It couldn't be that bad... right?

──────────────────── ☆

Monday mornings weren't your favourite, at all. Shitty weather, cold shower and not so great breakfast. It was all making you fell even worse then you felt already.

It wasn't something natural for you to wake up in the middle of the night, but today your body felt extremely stressed. Something didn't let you sleep, your thoughts were going miles per hour and you could feel your whole body getting colder with every second (which was weird 'cause the temperature in the room was pretty high).

So you got up, rolled yourself in a blanket and went to close your window hoping it would get at least warmer, but as you walked up to it and started opening it...

"Holy shit..!" You backed away from the wall and fell on your back. There's was something standing right outside your window. It was horrible, like a ghost or a monster. It didn't matter at that time, you quickly run up to to window again and looked around your backyard.

There wasn't a single soul, just a stray cat walking around. You sat down on the floor and hold your face trying to calm yourself down.

After few minutes you were finally feeling better and decided to go back to sleep. At least try.

You were near PK Academy when you saw your lovely psychic and two other people. If you remember correctly one was a medium and the other... fortune teller?

"Its... Aiura and Toritsuka if I'm not mistaken. Should I say hi? Or just-"

"Don't do anything. They're already being very suspicious of you. Just walk past us as normal as you can. I'll meet with you at lunch." It wasn't something new for you to hear Saiki in your head. You didn't know why he was communicating like that, but you accepted it after a while.

"Sure, see you later then. I love you!" you saw Saiki close his eyes and shake his head a little, but you could see a faint smile forming on his lips

Giggling you walked past the trio with a small smile and went inside the building. Quickly you changed your shoes for school ones and headed to your classroom. You greeted some people on the way, saying 'hi' or just nodding at them.

Soon you saw Saiki entering the room too with Aiura. He looked at you, gave you a soft and quick smile and sat not far away from you.

──────────────────── ☆

Around 2pm lunch break started. Saiki immediatly left the classroom, avoiding his friends and went to your meeting spot, which was next to vending machines near the caffeteria.

As he got there, you were nowhere to be seen. He saw you packing your things and leaving right after him so he thought you would be there in few seconds.

Few seconds turned into few minutes and then into half of the break.

"Where are they... they couldn't forget about it, right?" Saiki checked his phone for second time, scrolling through your messages and refreshing them. Even if you'd be late he would got a text about it, but there was nothing.

He tried to focus on your thoughts, but it was immposible with so many people around. He sighed at went to bathroom, locked himself in one of the cabins and used his 'crossed eye thingy' as you called it.

"What...?" He got up and teleported to you, making sure no one was around. You were sitting on the ground, all wet and cold, in one of the hallways. Your clothes were all soaked which made you shiver and Saiki knew you'd be sick in few days.

"What happened? Why are you sitting here all wet?" He said and kneeled next to you as he took your face in his hands, holding it gently. "Are you... crying?" He asked, but your lack of answer told him everything. He took your hand, helped you get up and brushed off some of wet hair from your face.

He held you tightly as he teleported you to your room. Saiki went to your wardrobe, grabbed some dry clothes and a towel and then went back to you. He started to gently dry your hair and your cheeks from tears. You were looking everywhere but not him, which made him worried.

"y/n, what is it? What happened, please tell me." He kneeled down and looked at you with soft gaze. You looked away and closed your eyes.

"I went to get some documents for teacher... I forgot to tell you about it. I-I don't know how... some stupid bucket of water was on the door to the class." Saiki noded and rubbed your back as he sat next to you. He thought for a second and shook his head.

"Just... stay here, ok? I'll go make you some tea" Saiki got up and went to the kitchen. He didn't care about school right now, he would deal with that later.

Day passed with sometimes even worse 'jokes' and incidents. Sometimes it was missing shoes, sometimes weird notes. At night you felt this weird feeling of being watched as cold air got into your house. You woke up with cold sweat on your face from nightmares and night terrors.

Saiki heard about everything, comforting you day after day. He didn't know why it happened, weirdly he couldn't find any person with thoughts of making another prank to you. It pissed him off a lot.

"I'm staying at home for few days... you can come meet me after classes." You said to Saiki as you covered yourself under the blankets. The temperature in your house was incredibly low which made you wear your warmest hoodie and cuddle into the softest and thickest blanket at your place.

"I'll be there soon..." Saiki answered. His voice was cold , but you could swear you heard some concern in it. You chuckled and buried yourself in the blanket.

Saiki was getting closer to the bathroom, making sure no one followed him or saw him. He could become invisible, but that would take too much time.

As he went inside one of the cabins, he took out his phone and checked his messages. There were few of yours, he could tell you were really bored, one from his mom and one from Aiura.

"Aiura? What does she want now...?" Saiki opened the chat, read the message and sighed. She wanted him to help out with something. "Good grief, right now?" He grumbled while texting you that he would be later.

Future teller told him to come behind the school. He got there and looked at her with bored eyes. It was a really pain in the neck to help with some irrelevant things...

"What is it?" He said with neutral and cold tone.

"Oh! Finally you're here! We need some help to... hang something." She said as she looked up.

"We?" Pink haired boy asked, quickly realising who was the other person. He rolled his eyes annoyed. He should be there with you by now... but no, he's stuck with two idiots behind the school. "Nevermind... I don't care, it's your problem."

He started walking away, not listening to Aiuras pleading and some offers (although they did grab his interests for a second or two). He shook his head and was already next to school corner.

"Saiki it's for your good! We're doing this to help you!" Kusuo heard another, not really pleasant, voice from above. "We've seen someone smiling and looking at you all the time! It's giving a creep vibe, you know?"

Toritsuka looked at Saiki from the top of the rooftop. Psychic stopped walking and looked at them both with confused look. "Stalking? What are you talking about..?"

"You didn't see it? There's this one creep whose staring at you in every class! They smile randomly when looking at you and sometimes even blushing! It's just... Ew!" auira said as she got closer to saiki. He frowned a little.

"Me and Mikoto have been making some pranks from time to time. One time we've scared them at night! I asked some ghost for help and spooked them!" Toritsuka chuckled, remembering the look on your scared face.

Saiki didn't say anything, he only grabbed his friends by the shoulders harshly and teleported them to your place.

"O-Oi Saiki! What are you doing man?" He didn't answer, only knocked gently on your door. He could've teleported directly to your room, but he didn't want to scare you with... his nuisances.

You jumped a little as you heard soft knocking.

"Probably saiki." You got up, still cuddled up in a blanket and went to the door. "Finally you-" You cut your sentence as you saw your boyfriend holding his two friends by their shoulders tightly. " Kusuo why are your friends with you?"

He didn't say anything, just got inside your place and leading his friends to the living room. You didn't know what was going on at.all. Saiki never brought his friends. Even Kaidou or Nendou which were much closer to saiki then Aiura.

you walked behind the three of them. Saiki dropped them near the couch and looked at it. You sat down and started asking questions.

"What's going on? Is everything alright? You could've told me you were bringing your friends, I would prep-"

"They're here to apologize to you." His friends looked at him surprised. Saiki sounded like it was an obvious intention.

"Apologize? Saiki, this person was-"

"They're my partner. We've been together for... some time now." Saiki said, looking away. He thought this 'announcement' would look different. Well he didn't thought about those two..

"Partner? Saiki actually pulled someone?" Toritsuka said, but he got quiet right after his head was hit with one of the cans from the table. "What?! You never told us about having someone! How could we know!" Toritsuka said rubbing his head.

"R-Right! We thought it was some kind of stalker or a creep...!" Aiura wad explaining their motives to Saiki and you thought about all the stuff that happened 'cause of them.

"Saiki it's alright, they didn't know. Maybe you should let go." Even tho you wanted to see what kind of punishment those two would get, you couldn't bring yourself to. Damn your good nature and big heart.

Your boyfriend looked at you and sighed. He loosened his grip and let his friends go. Saiki didn't expect that to happen. He really wanted to send Aiura and Toritsuka on deserted island and leave them for few days. But that would be against his principals... unfortunately.

──────────────────── ☆

"I told you we should have said something..."

It was pretty late when you and Saiki cuddled together on his bed. The night was peaceful with clear sky and bright moon. It was nice and warm, even if it was middle of February.

You had your head on saikis chest as he played with your hair. He had his eye closed, resting them a little. His pink bangs fell on his glasses covering his nose and tickling his cheeks. He looked peaceful and relaxed. Finally after a week he wore his ring so there was no thought in his head. No annoying ideas, thoughts or questions. Only silence.

"Yeah... sorry I didn't know sooner.." Saiki looked at you with soft look. His eyes were half closed and his face was decorated with gentle smile. Kusuo being the 'tusndere' he is doesn't really smile often, but when he does toy cherish those few seconds. "Could've stopped them and prevent this whole thing..."

"Don't be, at least they know now." You looked up and placed few kisses on his jaw and face. He hummed in response, closing his eyes and breathing deeply. "Thank you for looking out for me.." You said as you finally planted last kiss on his lips.

"Always..." he smiled and cuddled you closer to him. He made the lights turn off and closed the curtains. You were finally able to have a peaceful and good night sleep and he would be damned if Saiki didn't try making it even better for you.

"I love you.."

ATE KEISY 😇✌️ i just binged ur works i missed over my hiatus hihi and i want to say that i loved them all !!! i think i only have empyrean prince cascades left cause its a bit long, so i decided to save it for my bedtime story today or tomorrow

but ate. lie to me.... it was so good 😭😭😭 YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW I MUCH I PHYSICALLY REACTED READING IT???? jaw dropped. its such an interesting read, like i dont think ive been this excited over a story structure in so long AND I LITERALLY HAD WRITING CLASSES FOR TWO SEMESTERS LIKE I WAS SO INVESTED IN READING IT

i dont think ive ever read a fic structured like that before? i mean ive encountered similar stuff but not in fics ... overall im just hyped at it ur so big brain ily and i love your works and i love your writing and its so huhuhuhu i cant stop thinking about it !!!! my other reactions on the story are in my reblog tags but still i think i'll keep that fic in my mind a lot (kinda wanna do smth like it too... ur so my inspiration coded)

OMG!! hi cielle! i'm currently reading your other feedbacks and i'm so happy you love my works. there are only a few since i haven't been so consistent with my writing after graduation hsksksk tbh i'm entertained (hard on that kauyabon core because me too TT) i'll reply to the rest in a bit.

i hope you enjoy empyrean prince cascades tho! it's one of my favorite fics and it took me weeks to write it! i know it's pretty short for a 10k-worth of words to write in weeks, i was so busy when i wrote it and i had to squeeze in during my work days HAHAHA and please take your time reading the story. it's kinda long tho 🥹

AAAH yes lie to me.. i wrote that fic for like a day or two days before the deadline for the collab? i forgot, i was also occupied that time. kdramas influenced me on writing that too and there was a song that was assigned to me to be able to make a story out of it! yung story sana eh masaya na sila sa piling ng iba chuchu but then i realized, cheating will make sense so i had to write it with that. i just finished my thesis that time too so maybe nadala ko yung pagsusulat ng thesis namin sa fic na yan? believe me i don't really have experience to these romance and cheating stuff, i just wrote what i see in other people talaga HAHAHAHA and lie to me felt like a rushed fic that time?? i didn't know it would turn out to be good for the readers since i wasn't confident with the result but thank you for your warm feedback cielle! and lucky you for having writing classes tho, i envy you!

thank you so much for appreciating me and my work even though sometimes my brain is not working properly. i just write whatever the hell my brain tells me and i hope i have a big brain to cater everything that i want to write! maybe soon, more future works to come HEHEHE i have an upcoming seungmin and chan fic this month sooo i just hope it will turn out good.

— LOVE LETTER FROM ANON ; 💌

this is from an ask i received. i copy pasted and replied here as a text post since i can’t put “read more” on anon asks and it’s quite long hehehe. to the anon who sent me this, i give you loads of my love, thank you so much for everything !!

[ the ask ]

hi lovely,

i just read earned it and i have a couple things i’d like to say to you if you don’t mind. before i start, i completely understand if you don’t want to share this ask or even read at all which is fair. but if you do decide to read it, i know that one person such as me cannot change the decisions a writer had made such as discontinuing a series but i hope that this allows you some sense of peace or happiness towards your creation and end of earned it. i’m actually writing this is my notes before i send it to you so that’s how you know i truly mean it. buckle up baby!

i’d like to start with this; i just read and finished all the remaining chapters of earned it. i don’t know how to say this without sounding arrogant or cocky which truly isn’t my intention here, i promise so i’ll just say it as is. i swear to ever loving god, i’ve scoured the entirety of tumblr, ao3, fanfiction.net, wattpad, everything and anything, and it still isn’t very often that i find works like these, far and few between dare i say. ive looked through almost everything i could get my hands on to read in the jjk fandom and dear god, do you manage to keep on surprising me. i’ve read majority if not all your works along with following you on ao3 and tumblr, and i must say. i truly am so fucking impressed. completely and absolutely fucking floored if you will. the amount of plot twists and pure emotion you managed to put into this is only something i can dream of ever creating.

i cannot lie, it truly my hearts to think that people gave you so much shit over this to which ended in you deciding to discontinue along with your lack of interest which at least, is understandable unlike the hate. i literally cannot comprehend how people would be unhappy with the outcome so far after reading it since it was beyond fucking magnificent in my eyes. it kept me on my toes the entire time whilst never managing to bore me once and as someone with adhd, thats fucking hard to do, i’ll admit it. props to you. and as much as i want to grovel and beg for crumbs, something, anything to know about how it ends, i know that that will most likely accomplish nothing to both you and i so decided to just say this.

thank you for writing this. thank you for not only writing it but dealing with the experience of unwanted and negative criticism to the point you had to stop and discontinue it whilst also being generous and amazing enough to keep it up so other people could still read it. i really hope your proud of earned it and how it turned out so far, because if i were you, i’d be so bloody fucking proud i wouldn’t know what to do with myself.

my friends often tell me i overstep my boundaries and i really hope i aren’t doing that with this but i just really, truly, wanted to express my genuine appreciation and thanks towards your writing and towards you as a writer that puts out content, not to mention for free!!!!, for people like me. i also don’t want to seem as if i’m glorifying earned above all your other works, because that’s not what i mean. your writing is just… just fucking chefs kiss. sorry, my brains starting to run out of words at this point but oh my god. thank you for letting me experience the experience of earned it even though there was no proper end. i’d rather have that than nothing at all. and maybe i misread this entire thing, maybe you are goddamn proud of your work, which you fuckinf should be considering the pure quality it is. once again, chefs kiss!!

i just… i don’t know what to say anymore. your writing, quite literally, has made me completely fucking breathless in a good way of course. anyways, i hope this wasn’t too much of a ramble and at least managed to make you smile or something. have a lovely day sweetheart!!!! <333 :*)

OMG ANON PLS FORGIVE ME IM SO SORRY THIS TOOK ME DAYS TO RESPOND TO, I DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE YOU A HALF ASSED RESPONSE SO I WAITED TO GET MY MENTAL ENERGY BACK TO A HUNDRED PERCENT SO I CAN SEND BACK MORE LOVE TO YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY !! FIRST OF ALL UHM… 

you really made me speechless with this one, you have no idea. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve reread this and teared up a little bit because you know… I’m so shocked like I really have no idea what I did to receive such a sweet message because I’m just writing silly fanfics when I’m feeling it yknow? Or at least that’s what it seems like because it turns out I have a huge impact on others and I’m able to make people happy like I’ll never EVER get used to that feeling and I mean that in a good way !! Like I’m in a constant state of disbelief that people are this affected by my content and I’m just… 

I’m so thankful truly PLEASE can I give you a hug I’m so happy sobs sobs sobs

also baby, thank you sm for this again AAAAHH. I’m not sure if you really mean ‘Earned It’ the mafia! gojo series or ‘Reckless’ the CEO gojo series though ?? Both are discontinued but Earned It was discontinued bcos my dumbass killed Naoya there and he was my favorite so I lost the motivation and it was all my fault SOBBSSS. as for Reckless though, yeah I’d say it was mostly the hate I got for it that demotivated me into continuing it :// but if this ask is meant for Earned It, then yes thank you so much for the kind words as well, though I didn’t really receive hate for it so no worries !!

and aaah anon im…I’m at a loss for words lmao but the part where you said where you would be proud if you wrote it, that’s really…LIKE IDK it just hit me bcos oftentimes I look at something I poured my heart into, but then I’d have days where I’d be like YIKES that wasn’t a good one. its so easy to forget the effort we put into something when we’re affected by external factors. and yeah even though I really don’t want to continue either series anymore, thank you for leaving me the important note of being proud of myself <33 

although the series (earned it) wasn’t really something I’d properly executed and planned for, I do remember being passionate over it and feeling truly excited to update. even if it didn’t end out the way I wanted it to, it’s still something I poured my heart on and that’s magnificent on its own, so I’ll be prouder of myself from now on <33

no worries bb you are not overstepping any boundaries at all !! believe me when I say this ask truly do means a lot to me – more than you’ll ever know. messages like these are what keeps me going, as feedback is important to writers, but most of all it’s the genuine support and sincerity that gets to me. 

I’m truly humbled and grateful right now. thank you for this again and again and again.

THIS MADE ME MORE THAN SMILE !! there’s a lot of things I’m struggling with even if I don’t publicly express it, but messages like these will always have a special place in my heart. I’m sincerely grateful for everything, and I’ll continue writing here and sharing my works!! It’s supportive people like you that make these moments worthwhile. I’ll never forget this message anon AAAAH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU THANK YOU YOU HAVE AN EVEN BETTER DAY OR NIGHT, you have me weak in the knees for this

OKAY BRB SOBBING IN HAPPINESS

[we-always-hit-our-ass]

I just read your fluffy headcannons with Toye and they are p e r f e c t. Made me realise how much I needed this and I was hoping if you could do one with Ron Speirs. 😔✊

anon, im incredibly happy that you think my Toye hcs were perfect- i also totally get you, anon. we all need some soft speirs hcs in our lives and i will do exactly that! 😩👌💞💕

btw im incredibly sorry that i took so long to write these hcs but hopefully you enjoy them!

Taglist: @floydtab, @deldontplay, @thatsonefishyboi, @noneofurbusinez, @meteora-fc, @hufflepuffpancakes​, @hihosilvers​, @rayleighshughes

shoutout to my wifey @floydtab for helping me on these hcs, this probably wouldn’t have existed without you- you gave me so much inspo i love you ma’am 💞💕

Fluffy/General Ronald Speirs HCs

-----------------------

-----------------------

Let’s get one thing clear here- Ron is a cold bitch but is ACTUALLY a big softie.

Only for you anyway, but no one else except you two need to know that-

Like Ron will subtly do things to impress you, and you’re just like, 'You dont have to do that I love you too fucking much already, stop tryna make me fall for you again-'

But you always appreciate it anyways because you know that this boy just wants the best for you-

Ron is straightforward and makes it his daily goal to make you happy-

If you’ve had a bad day, Ron will literally go and get your favorite food/drink/thing to immediately make you feel better, and it works 100% of the time.

Aaah- This man lowkey cares a lot in the relationship and he’s just but a bit worried and is self conscious.

But you just tell him that he's enough and that you'll love him no matter what.

After that he'll just immediately hug you and you would press kisses on his jawline while softly rubbing his back to reassure him that you’re there.

Soft declarations of love are always said and done between the two of you and you knew that you couldn’t live without it.

It was practically essential at this point and you’d never ever get tired of Ron saying ‘I love you’.

Ron is also very protective of you but he’s embarrassed to admit it.

The amount of times he almost yeeted someone because they either made you mad/uncomfortable have been endless.

Like they better HOPE that Speirs doesn’t find their address-

Ron isn’t really big on PDA but he will not hesitate to wrap an arm around your waist, and even sometimes he’ll sit you on his lap while he nuzzles his face on the side of your neck.

It’s just a personal preference of Ron’s and he just doesn’t want people to exactly see something that is intimate, you feel?

Even though he prefers to keep your relationship private, he would always softly call you endearing terms in your ear in public.

He prefers to love you in private, and he thinks that it feels more special that way.

Ron acts the complete opposite when you two are alone or behind closed doors. He’s extremely passionate and every single touch light yet intense.

Ron cannot keep his hands off you and he cherishes every moment he shares with you. 

He just loves the fact that you feel so right in his hold, like you two were always meant to be.

He loves everything about you and wouldn’t change a single thing about yourself, I promise you that.

Ron is also a MAJOR worrywart, like if he even heard you whisper ‘ow’, you better bet that he’s going to ZOOM his ass to you.

He also doesn’t express his worries verbally- oh no- his actions speak for him. He’ll hold you in his arms and will ACTUALLY kiss the area where you hurt yourself.

Ron just wants you to be alright and will fret over you even if it’s just a papercut.

Ron is also very discreet about your relationship and God forbid anyone from seeing him being soft towards you. (And God help them even more if they decide to bring it up.)

Ron constantly thinks how amazing you are while you’re right next to him with your hands in his.

He’s always extremely happy around you and he absolutely loves playing with your hair and it’s so cute.

Soft forehead kisses for this man are a must and he can’t help but smile when you press your lips softly against his skin.

Ron is definitely an athletic man and he adores swimming.

There have been countless times where Ron would take you to a lake just so he can swim with you.

When you’re done changing Ron will scoop you up and just straight up jump into the water.

Cue the WHOLESOME AS FUCK experience, thank you very much.

It’s always serene and the air is always filled with laughs as you and Ron splash each other endlessly.

Kisses are always pressed against your wet cheek whenever you two go swimming 

You’d also cradle his face in your hands as you’d stare lovingly into his eyes.

But you’d always finish swimming before him though and you’d admire him as he’d do laps.

Like Ron’s so beautiful, look at that man, he’s so fucking out of this world- 

He might or might not have been trying to impress you by doing laps, but that's a secret we'll never know-

When you’re finally dry, Ron comes up behind you as he just got out of the water and hugs you, causing you to be wet all over again.

Ron also has a special spot in his heart that is reserved for playgrounds. Like when he’s walking with you and he spots one his eyes LIGHT up and you don’t need words to tell what he was thinking.

Ron loves pushing you on the swings and your laugh and smile just keep him GOIN-

He’ll also wrap his arms around your waist as he’s behind you when you’re sliding on the slides-

The childlike wonder in Ron comes out whenever he sees a playground and that’s one of Ron’s many quirks that you loved-

Like literally the main reason he likes going to playgrounds more now is so he can just see your joyful expressions and sweet laugh-

Okokok, Ron Speirs might seem like a cat, but please believe me when I say that he adores dogs!

You could see the absolute love in his eyes when he sees Trigger and you just had the most perfect idea on what to get him for Christmas.

You fell in love with a little Bernese Mountain Dog puppy (please, please, please search them up- they’re adorable) and your plan was set in motion.

You immediately knew that Ron would love him too.

The lil pup was a pure fluffball of sunshine and this boy was bound to bring lots of joy during the holidays-

BUT HOLY SHIT YOU DID NOT EXPECT YOUR BOYFRIEND’S REACTION TO BE SO CUTE WTF-

When you presented the tiny bundle of fluff to Ron, you could see waves of euphoria emitting off of him-

You knew that Ron was already a man of a few words but he was just rendered speechless (in a good way, of course) when his eyes laid upon the Bernese puppy.

“Milo.”

“Ron- What?”

“His name is going to be Milo.”

You have caught Ron multiple times with Milo on his lap and it’s fucking adorable.

Ron would also fall asleep with Milo in his arms and you swore you were going to take a picture of that and frame it-

Milo’s energetic and bouncy personality somehow complimented Ron’s steady and calm one.

 It’s a beautiful dynamic and it just works in the best way possible.

Okokok I’ve rambled enough, but have I mentioned how caring and amazing Ron is? Yeah? Well screw it, here’s more-

Ron is a little spoon half of the time but he’ll never admit it like the stubborn cutie that he is-

You love holding him in your arms and he loves it all the same too!

But Ron is such a good fucking boyfriend, it’s making me ascend-

When you’d fall asleep in your desk while doing work, Ron would ALWAYS carry you back to your shared bedroom and lay you down gently on the bed.

Ron will get on the bed and he’d be the big spoon as he’d crawl into bed with you. 

But then you’d turn to face him in your sleep and you’d instinctively pull him closer and your cheek would be resting on chest 

Oml- I can’t the scene is too goddamn wholesome-

Buuuut if you fall asleep on the couch, Ron would bring a nice fluffy blanket to cover you and he’d sit next to you and he’d fall asleep while making sure you were ok-

You never liked waking up or mornings before, but mornings with Ron? Oh yeah, you were DOWN for that-

Ron’s fluffy tousled hair in the morning is GOLDEN and when you’d push it back to reveal his sleepy but hella handsome face, it’s fucking over I swear-

Ron also feels the same when he wakes up next to you and he genuinely thinks that it’s like waking up to an angel-

But Ron’s husky voice when he wakes up is 😩👌💕, is there anymore to say???

You’d two would just stay in bed cuddling with Milo by your side during the few hours of the morning and you couldn’t ask for anything better.

Ron was known and cemented as a hardened, scary, and stern soldier, but you didn’t mind one bit. 

Because to you... Ron was the best thing that could’ve ever happened to your life, and you couldn’t care less as to what other people thought of him. 💞

Hope you have a great day/evening/late night/etc.

✌🏼&💜

—sora—

I truly appreciate your sweet words, youre the cutest! regarding your question: You shares an apartment with Iwa, Oikawa and Yahaba (who also works at the tattoo studio!) and i don't know to be really honest- I just like the thought of these three being really good friends so after contemplating whether or not to go with iwaoi or matsuhana, I ended up going with those two dorks! hope you have a good one baby mwah!!

[cnc-hoebayb]

Mía

Sorry this pic is awful quality skfjsl but i was inspired by this vid this was in (y’all remember) and some songs i thought were pretty fitting

Also if u remember this vid, there’s a part with * by it and his dancing in it is what I’m referring to lol

.

.

It wasn’t just the night life, or the fame and action that made things exciting. It was always him. There was an electricity and fire within him that always made you feel so much bigger than life and so damn happy.

You fed off each other’s energy in every way, and life couldn’t have been more positive and genuinely fun.

There was no doubt that you were meant for each other. And it shone through to you in so many different ways.

Like tonight. It was similar to any other night that you guys spent with each other. There was always so much free time left in between rehearsals and concerts surprisingly.

Which gave you guys so many opportunities to go out and explore the cities. Some nights you prowl the town looking for the best burgers. Others you would go out to old dusty arcades or bowling alleys. And nights like this, it was so thrilling, and sometimes even relaxing to just go out to a club and dance.

You remember when Chris had used to be the jealous type, starting fights with anyone who looked at you funny or got too handsy. But after time he had became more confident with your guys’ relationship, and since then its always been the most fun you’ve ever had with him.

(I mean, he still wasn’t afraid to throw a punch, with your permission obvi, if he saw some creep try to cop a feel)

So you guys would stay close in clubs like this, not just as a cautionary, but where else would you want to be if he was all you needed? He always found a way to make the night so much better.

Like at this moment. He had dragged you from the bar where you were settled because “tenemos que bailar ahORA”

You laughed and he pulled your arm towards the dance floor as J Balvin filled the air. He loved this damn song.

“Si las mujeres piden,”

“REGGAetOn regGaETON” he scream sang to you and jumped up and down excitedly.

You hype him up with oohs and aaahs, even creating your own ad libs as he makes the floor his own show. He was at his peak rowdiness tonight. You had both been boozin it up lightly so he was a little more energetic that usual.

You liked that about him. He wasn’t the type to get gross trashed drunk, he always just became more hyper and sometimes even willing to go up and fuck with the dj until he was in charge.

So right now you’re lookin at him being a complete dumby singin at the top of his lungs and it’s so perfect. Until he reaches for his phone...

“Chris nO” you shout because you know he’s about to post the millionth video onto his infamous Instagram story. You reach for the phone as he raises it above his head so you can’t reach.

“nonOno, solo quiero tomar un foto, just one k” his words slur a bit. You laugh at him and shake your head, “no, basta, your followers can’t take any more”

“Imma get you a water, stay here” you demand and run off to find an attempt to sober him up a bit. As you reach the crowded bar, the music changes rapidly into a little reggaeton breakdown before finally landing on one particular Bad Bunny song.

And it’s almost instantly that you hear Chris scramble across the room to find you. “T/N WHERE U AT” you laugh as he rushes up to you at the bar.

“Come on we have to dance to this one,” he insists another time and you try not to budge.

“Hold on im getting you a water, you really need it right now, Chris,” he rolls his eyes and whines like a baby.

“Amoooorrr, this song is for youuuu” you look at this puppy of a human and the begging stance he’s in, and you have no choice but to give in.

You smile and shake your head “Después, agua. Entiendes??” “yayaya” he responds quickly before pulling you once more into the dance floor.

You had to admit, the song choice was perfect and you were excited to be back in the crowd.

“Porque todos te quieren probar”

He grabs your hand and gives you a spin before holding you close. Even when he was a little tipsy, he always knew how to keep it together for a dance.

“See, perfect song,” he gives you a wink as he parts from you to dance to himself a little.

You both weren’t afraid to dance alone. It was almost more fun than together. This way you could see everything the other was doing and enjoy the view.

You would shake your hips a little, flip your hair from side to side as you swayed to the beat.

The first chorus was ending and Chris was doing that dance he had perfected over time. That one where he would hold his hand right over his belt and rock his lower half, his shoulders arched back the tiniest bit, almost always sticking his tongue out and smirking to you. It was his *signature move.

And as soon as that first verse hit, it was total alter ego moment for him.

“Bebé yo soy fan de tu caminar

Te doy todo lo mío hasta mi respirar,”

He immediately began to gesture toward you and rap like his life depended on it. He was always good at simple impressions, just never took it seriously enough in public. So in moments like this, it was a privilege to see it first hand.

So there you were, dancing like you would at a concert by yourself, jumping up and down and waving your hands in the air. And Chris, he was pulling all the typical Bad Bunny movements spot on.

Everything from the stance, the way he played with and touched his jewelery, he even threw in a little nudge at his glasses that made you visual him even more

He slowed down the act a little as the song went on, pointing to you like the lucky one in the crowd, and now singing into a fake mic in his hand.

“Que dejen de tirarte

Que a ti nadie va a tocarte...”

And like your minds were in sync, you both give a big smile and scream out while jumping in place..

“DILE QUE TÚ ERES MÍA, MÍA”

It was a mixture of dancing that had a purpose and rhythm at first, but also the product of one too many shots of fireball....

Limbs were flying everywhere, your hair and his looked a mess from the surprising amount of head banging that was goin on.

“Cuando yo te lo hacía”

Chris hypes you up as the next verse comes up quickly. He knew it was your favorite part, and he nods his head in a way that says “Go all in bro”

And with that you attempt at a not as great rendition of Bad Bunny as he had. It wasn’t as convincing as it could’ve been, but damn you performed your ass off in that moment.

“Yo soy tu Romeo, pero no Santo” you sang and began to drape your arms around his neck. He held on to you and swayed to the beat.

You gave him a little peck on the lips and sang your favorite part to him, changing the slightest detail to it.

“Pero yo soy tuya na’ más..”

He aligns your hips with his and you start a sloppy grind. You push off of him suddenly as you start to rap the next part with complete ease.

The words pour out smoothly and you’re so freaked out you’re doing so good that you look at Chris with wide eyes to make sure he’s seein it too. He’s just as shocked and starts bobbing his arm in the air, his other hand cupped over his mouth as he starts hyping you up with random noises and singing little phrases here and there.

The verse starts coming to an end and you gotta admit you feel on top of the world right now. You’re both in each other’s faces and finish it out together.

“Dile que yo no soy cualquiera,

Yo soy tu primero, tú eres mi primera”

He lets out a long and continuous laugh after he realizes how obnoxious you guys must look to others right now. You fold forward and laugh in that way that you feel throughout your whole body.

And you had to admit, after all that you were starting to feel yourself pretty hard. So you shut your eyes and laughed, letting the liquor from earlier and the song guide your movements.

You could feel Chris putting a hand or two on your every so often and singing the lyrics loudly, knowing he was directing it towards you.

���Tú sabes que eres mía, mía...”

Your heart started to get that glowy warm feeling that always happened around this time. The one whenever you and Chris would find that song of the night that made you truly feel free and more in love than ever.

That was always the best moment.

So you kept your eyes closed and locked it in to your memories, thanking the drunk dumby that kept dragging you to the dance floor.

[hotsexydorks]

hi there, im the guy that wrote the 3 prompts, fucking loved them btw. I think i have a way to extend the last one and maybe another idea?, 1) sheriff fucking stiles tells him to take off the blindfold, hes kinda freaked out but to addicted to0 his dads cock to do anything but ask for more, sheriff ends up whoreing stiles out in either a gangbang or just a regular pack bitch kind of thing. 2) one of the alphas (scott,peter or derek) sweat becomes super aphrodesiac for the pacl and licking them

First of all, how dare you :P . Second of all, glad you like them. 

1) Sheriff fucking stiles tells him to take off the blindfold, hes kinda freaked out but to addicted too his dads cock to do anything but ask for more, sheriff ends up whoreing stiles out in either a gangbang or just a regular pack bitch kind of thing. 

Hey pt 2 : Sheriff / Stiles

From that day John started growing bolder, his attitude growing stronger and his power over Stiles taking over. He should have been deleting everything and drinking himself into a stupor to try forget it all but he wasn’t. He wanted more. 

As their relationship went on Stiles started to divulge to the older male how much he wanted this to be real. How their conversations and interactions were enjoyable and how he kept thinking about him and his dick even while he was hooking up with other men. He told him none of them ever came close and that he had made the decision that his dick was perfect. 

That night John popped a viagra, not that he needed it, put on a cock ring and fucked Stiles harder than he had. Claim the boy as his own and showing Stiles how he truly had the perfect cock for him. He managed to fuck Stiles into a mess, he was just a bundle of limbs by the end of it his body left in any position John had wanted him in. When he stopped it was now morning at a Monday morning at that. He looked at his watch seeing that Stiles’ alarm would be going off soon he darted out of the room and into his car in hopes to make it home before his son. 

He had been so caught up in fucking the boy’s hole he didn’t pay attention to the time. John had barely had time to make his coffee once he got back, dressed down into his robe and underwear sitting at the table when Stiles came through. John wondered how often Stiles did this because he didn’t even hear his son come home or even through the front door. 

“Good morning.” John spoke up from his morning paper. He looked up at saw his son struggling to move doing his best to hide the effects of last night. The red marks, the bites, his writing. But more than that he could see the cum in Stiles’s hair, so if his son hadn’t cleaned his hair he doubted he had cleaned his ass after it. That’s when John realised his cock was still painfully hard and leaking from the viagra he took earlier. He shifted his body further under the table to hide it so his son couldn’t see. 

“..Morning..” Stiles yawned , which probably wasn’t faked following his time last night. He turned on the coffee pot and started to make coffee for the two of them. 

“Late night?” John asked him, like any caring father would. 

“Yeah.. stayed up ramming stuff into me for a mid term.” Stiles nodded his fingers drumming on the surface of the counter as he looked at his phone. Anxiously waiting for his Daddy to text him. He bit his lip debating with himself if he should send a text first, usually it didn’t bother him but after what he had said he was worried he drove him away. 

He poured out the coffee and handed one to his father not noticing his strange position at the table for an early morning read. With the first sip of his coffee he had made up his mind. Stiles went back to his room, pulling out his phone and found his Daddy’s number. 

“Hey Daddy, last night was awesome. When are you going fuck my hole again? My sloppy cunt is so needy right now, I didn’t get a chance to clean your cum out so I just had to use a butt plug to keep all your cum in.” 

John was a smart man, when Stiles insisted they swap numbers he was sure to get a second phone for just their escapades. So when he felt the phone beep in his pocket he smirked looking up to where Stiles’ room was. 

“Oh that needy already baby boy? How about this, you be a good boy and do everything I tell you today and I’ll make sure you get the best present you could ever wish for.” 

“Anything, name it ;)” Even with the flirty nature of it Stiles was ready for it, his hole already trying to use the plug to satiate the hunger.

“Good boy.” John smirked in the phone pushing it quickly away as he stood up his cock hitting the table. “Hey kiddo! You’re going to be late!” 

~~~ 

John texted Stiles throughout the day, teasing the boy with pictures of his cock, and giving him things to do and Stiles did them all. Take a picture in the bathroom stall stroking his cock; done, go to school commando; done, stroke himself during class under the table; done. John was happy seeing how obedient his boy was. For Stiles’ final task he told his son to take out the plug that had been holding back the cum he had left there and to let the cum drip from his ass as he walked out to be collected. 

Stiles was fidgeter than ever and his face was red while he did it but eventually his ass let the plug out with a loud pop and he was walking out to meet his father in the parking lot. 

The ride back was a battle of who could act the most normal, Stiles with the loads leaking from his ass or John knowing his son was his whore. 

Either way they got back and Stiles ran out of the car and up to his room texting his Daddy. 

“I did it Daddy, on please tell me what’s my reward “ Stiles sent the male a text with a picture of his ass still leaking the cum. 

“Wait until tonight, send me your address, leave your door open and be in position tonight at 1 am.” 

Stiles gulped looking at the message he knew he shouldn’t, they hadn’t anytime before but he was too horny to say no, too addicted to the cock to lose it. 

~~~

He did as John asked, going around the house and getting it already. Stiles had told the male that he was only allowed into his room and that’s it. So Stiles marked him a path and waited in his position where John came in. 

John saw his son, his little slut, with his ass up naked and his blindfold on. He made his presence known by walking forward and caressing Stiles’ ass. “What a good little slut boy you’ve been for me today.” 

Stiles moaned, nodding. “Yes Daddy!!” Knowing that his father left hours ago he didn’t hold back his voice. “Please fuck me Daddy!” 

“Oh I will baby boy, but first you deserve a your treat don’t you Stiles.” John said his sons name for the first time like this. His name feeling dirty on his tongue even as his son. 

“Yes Daddy!” Crap. Stiles thought he’d left one of his books out with his name, but even though he should have been scared he was turned on. “Fuck me first!!” He reached behind him, hooking his fingers at his hole and spreading it for the man like how he liked. 

John didn’t need more of an invitation, he slammed his cock in to Stiles’ ass and started to pound at his son’s hole. It didn’t take long for Stiles to turn back into the drool mess he was on John’s cock. His thick cock punched his hole over and over again, his hands smacking his cheeks turning them red. He was sure now was the time, all vulnerable and begging for cock.

“Time for you surprise kid.”  John pulled off the blind fold. By now he had turned Stiles on to his back, fucking him from above. 

It took Stiles a moment before he realised what was happening. He opened his eyes slowly the cock making his body feel light and loose like it always did, but when he saw the man’s face he’s body was confused. “DAD!?” Stiles shouted his body trying to move away but only pushing John against him harder. He could feel his balls pulling up and he was grabbing the base of his cock to try stop himself. This was wrong. So, so wrong. “STOP! DAD! PLEASE!! W-what are you..” Stiles sobbed as the pressure continued to build and with his hands stopping himself he just rode the line of orgasm. He rode the line on his father’s cock, a cock that was making his body tingle and his toes curl in pleasure.  

“ooo-ooo-mmmmhmmh-aaah!!” Stiles couldn’t rationalise it. He couldn’t think anymore about it, his body belonged to his father, it had for months and now he knew it. “ I’m cumming!” Stiles chanted repeatedly, his body shaking through it. 

John on the other hand was loving it, he could see the look in his sons eyes shift from euphoria to terror and then to something beyond euphoria as if he were experiencing all the splendours of the earth. “That’s it slut, cum on your Daddy’s cock.” 

Stiles covered himself in his own cum, reaching up to his face he panted reaching down to his ass without missing a beat. “Fuck me Daddy, keep fucking me!!” He laughed, there wasn’t anything else he could do but love his father’s fucking and laugh at his own sluttiness. 

John smirked leaning down as he fucked his own son. “You’re gonna take every cock I tell you too, even when I whore you out to your friends.”

2) One of the alphas (scott,peter or derek) sweat becomes super aphrodisiac for the pack and licking them

Gonna go with Scott cause I wanted to do a different take on this one.

Workout Buzz : Scott/Liam/Derek/Deaton

Scott had finished up coaching for the day, he sent the players home and he looked around the room remembering the fond memories he had of this place. All the things the pack got up to how they all met. It rushed back to him, he didn’t have time to think about it since he had become so busy with the job but now that there was some down time he took that moment. 

The lockers they used, the games they played it all was in here. He stroked his hand against the machines in the gym and shrugged, why not use the equipment that was here. Scott hadn’t worked out in a while so it would probably do him some god.

He hopped on to the treadmill to get some warmup cardio going before he moved over to some weighted machines working his legs and then his arms. By the time Scott was feeling tired his clothes had soaked through and his sweat rolling down his body, face, arms, everything. Engrossed by his workout Scott hadn’t heard his phone ring, or even notice Liam coming in until he spoke. 

“Hey.. could I get a lift? Stiles said he’s busy right now.” Liam fixed his bag on his shoulder, since Scott had started as their coach it had been a weird transition for him. They were friends, he was his alpha, but he couldn’t let interfere with Lacrosse or the team. He knew people would be all too happy to call favouritism. 

Scott whipped his head around nodding. “Sure, let me just dry off and I’ll dive you.” He smiled at his beta as he got up. The alpha approached his beta and collected his sweat in his hands, shaking it at the younger male to tease him. Being playful with Liam since he had been serious with him all the other times they had been together because of the company. 

“H-hey cut it out Scott” Liam laughed weakly as he tried to bat Scott’s arms and body away but in doing so he set his own fate. The sweat wasn’t just sweat it was more, the closer it got the more he thought it smelt good. When it touched his skin he felt the urge to lick it, to taste it. Even as Scott walked away laughing the thoughts still lingered, he didn’t know why. Why sweat, or even, a guy. 

Liam glanced up seeing Scott round the corner he licked his arm where some of the sweat had landed and his body shook. He felt fireworks and sparks fly through him. He wanted more. He had just found the best high in the world and he wanted it again. Liam blushed his inhibitions being melted away from the intensity of Scott’s scent in the room he had just been working out in.

Scott was still out of view and Liam didn’t know what to do. His sense were being assaulted and all his body was telling him was that he needed it again. The rush calling to him, the scent pulling him in. Liam ended up at bench Scott had sweat at and found his tongue pressed flat against the fabric licking of the male’s scent and moaning as his shorts tented from just Scott’s sweat, the sweet nectar as far as Liam was now concerned.

But it wan’t enough. Liam got up his eyes shining and hungry. He moved swiftly to where Scott was finding spare clothes and a towel and he pulled the towel away from Scott , leaning into lick at his neck. Liam shuddered again the feeling of it from Scott’s skin making it ten times better to him, he couldn’t hold back the moan. He licked up to Scott’s jaw and back again trying to take more. 

Scott jolted forward when he realised what was happening, that wasn’t water going at his neck that was Liam’s tongue. He shoved Liam back and on to the ground as his hand ghosted over where Liam was just touching is shock. “LIAM!? What the h-” Scott couldn’t even finish his word when he saw what Liam was doing. The blonde jock was flat on his ass hand down his pants and jerking off.

“Fuckkk Scott you’re so hot!! Pleaseee!! Let me lick you!” The young beta crept forward trying to get more. Scott pushed Liam back not wanting to hurt him he hurled him towards the matts and Scott barely had time to grab his phone before he made it out.  

He ran from the school into the trees, running until he hit the preserve. His ears all the time listening behind him, Liam was still back at the school and he was away from him. He needed to find out what this was and fast. Scott looked out from the clearing and saw the old Hale house, he knew Derek would be there trying to get estimates for the renovation; maybe he knew. 

By the time Scott got to the land he was sweating again, his run making him exhausted and breathless. The alpha was hunched over trying to catch his breath again.

“Scott??” Derek appeared from behind Scott, coming from his camaro he reached out to the other wolf touching his back. “You okay Scott? What’s wrong?” He asked him but the touch was all it took. 

The moment Derek reached Scott the alluring waft of Scott’s sweat reached his nose. The tantalising liquid on his hand beckoning him to taste it, pulling him in deeper. Derek tried to fight it, but the struggle only made it more enticing. The taboo nature of it , his body fighting it only made his mind start to want it more. The dark haired wolf bit his lip as Scott spoke. 

“No…” He huffed almost between each word trying to get his breath back. “Liam.. he… locker room…. lick…” Scott had his eyes shut trying to recall everything and trying to keep his balance so the world would stop spinning from his run. 

Derek let Scott speak of course, but it wasn’t like he was listening very much anyways. Derek was already on his knees behind Scott his face mere inches from Scott’s musky balls and crack. His nose being assaulted and his body on fire. Even Derek who would have been a strict top or even just strictly straight for that matter couldn’t stop his mind from wondering how Scott taste. Not even wondering knowing that Scott would taste like heaven. He wanted to stick his face into the other’s round ass and rim the male and slobber over his balls, and what Derek wanted he was going to get. 

He leaned in planting his face into Scott’s ass he held Scott’s hips and inhaled deeply with a smile and groan. Enjoying every single second of it he fought against Scott’s struggles to move. “Fuck Scott… you smile.. amazing…” Derek moaned while he worked his face deeper his nose sinking into the other’s crack to smell him. 

Scott struggled and kicked back horrified that this was happening again. This wasn’t supposed to happen, whatever this was. He yelled at the other. “DEREK! NO!” He scrambled backwards on his hands and jumped to his feet. Maybe this was a wolf thing, maybe Deaton could help. Scott pulled out his phone as he tried to shake Derek off he called the vet and let a frantic message about Liam and Derek going crazy which he dodged the wolf and side stepped the trees to make sure he didn’t trip on his journey. 

When he got to the clinic he ran in the back entrance and grabbed on to the table for support. After working out, running from Liam and now running from Derek, his body was burning and aching for release. He panted and made sure he kept a distance from Deaton not knowing what would happen. 

When Deaton came in he started to explain what had happened, how Liam just went crazy and then went he went to Derek for help he did the same thing and he didn’t know what was happening or why. 

All the time Deaton listened he was being affected, although Scott was right about one thing; it was a wolf thing. His scent, his sweat, his musk. It was addictive and mind changing. It affected the wolves because of their higher senses but with Alan and Scott being in the same room and Scott now dripping even more he was hot-boxing the vet. 

“Alright.. Hope on the table and i’ll see if I can find something to solve the problem.” Deaton turned around and started to move around the cabinets. 

Scott nodded, trusting the male as he got on the table and lay down. It wasn’t unusual for him with Deaton so he didn’t have any reason not to, at least it wasn’t until he felt a sharp pain. Scott looked down but it was too late. All he saw was Deaton moving a knife away from Scott’s leg; kanima venom. 

“Sorry Scott, it was the only way.” The vet licked his lips and striped from his uniform down to his underwear showing how soaked the dark fabric already was just from their talking. Deaton used a pair of scissors and cut open Scott’s clothes exposing his body. He leaned down and licked up Scott’s abs and to his nipples. 

“Deaton!?? WHAT. no.no .no .no please!! no…” Scott pleaded with the man but he showed no signs of stopping. 

Even though he couldn’t move Scott could feel it all. The large tongue swiping against his skin and to his nipples, the sensitive nipples he always had. His cock started to fill out, since it wasn’t a muscle the blood rushed through him and hardened his thick alpha cock. 

Deaton had just finished with Scott’s left nipple when the doors burst open and in rushed two wolves. The same two he had been trying to avoid. Derek and Liam both shoved and pushed at each other trying to get to Scott’s body. Derek lifted Scott’s legs and reveled in the heavy musk on from his taint and started to lick at the skin. Liam had his attention elsewhere, moving his face to Scott’s pits he licked at the hair and moaned as he got his face wet. 

Even through his begging and pleading Scott’s cock stayed hard and started to leak, soon he came over himself and the trio eagerly lapped it up. 

“See it feels good Scott!” Liam smiled up at his Alpha cum on his chin. 

“I can’t wait till we show the rest of the guys how good this is.” Derek licked up Scott’s cock and kissed the head of it his eyes shining. 

“Why wait?” Deaton asked with Scott’s ear in his mouth, holding up his phone with the other hand ready to call the others and have them addicted too.  

The three smirked as the messages went out and their cocks added to the growing puddle of cum on the floor.

ti amo nyc! seeing phoenix 3x with feenix friends (jul 5 - 7 2018)

So! 3 days of phoenix with wonderful people in new york (my first time in nyc!), I don’t even know where to begin x.x (Pictures are on IG, video on YT). The Speciale shows are beautiful and incredible, and the boys put so much thought, detail, and love into it all. It was one of the best experiences in my life and it was so fun seeing everyone at the shows!!

under the cut is pretty much a rambling summary of the shows (amazing and adorably decorated), cute moments, and when we met them (ft. my fav convo with branco abt pokemon and witnessing brotherly tension) 

💘 @andersfel @funkyphoenixfan @thesunwillshineagain

7/5 | Night 1 💗

the show The show was amazing! It had been 7 months since I had last seen them. We were between Deck and Chris, I settled for the second row (I could have squished to the barrier but it was more comfortable to just be behind a little). That day was super humid and hot, so this show was probably the most sweatiest, but so satisfying. It was such a fun time! We got consolation prizes which is always super great! And countdown for Mads aaaaa (it was her 21st birthday, guess who (Chris ofc) sung to her 😭!!!) It was such a beautiful moment. They played Goodbye Soleil first and she was a bit down, but once it finished, COUNTDOWN happened! She was so happy it was the best reaction (what a complete 180 lol). Telefono was such a tune to hear live, I loved it! They were using the telefono booth instead of the red telephone (after the show you could get a polaroid in the booth for $1, such a cute idea whaaaa!!).

I thought for the Speciale they chose to use different guitars (Chris’s mint green, Branco’s array of guitars (black and red) instead of the og guitars (telecaster and cream bullet), but turns out they just didn’t have their regular guitars in time because their gear was still being held by air france until the 4th show lol.   

after the show

thomas After the show, we went outside to wait (we should have wandered the disco afterparty that was happening inside! The boys were hanging out meeting fans). About an hour later, Thomas came outside first wearing a white tee and backpack on. It was a small group outside so he went around to everyone, signing stuff and taking photos, and he hugged everyone too! He was so nice and gentle as usual. He left shortly after because he said it was past his kids bedtime and he had to put them into bed, something sweet like that 😭. Romy was at the show (with we think, Cedric’s daughter?) and they were helping run the merch stand! It was too cute!! They were so sweet. They were also in front of the barrier at some songs on the far right jumping and having such a good time during the show! It was so pure. (And I guess Vee is bffs with Romy now hahaha).   

deck Ok next up, Deck came out and was very chatty and goofy. He didn’t go to the afterparty. Vee said something about him being a charmer and he imitated playing a violin to be romantic, oh, he is so precious. Deck was really examining the Rally single I brought to get signed and he was like oh this is very rare and was looking at it, front and back. He was so nice and so cute 💘.

branco (and chris) Branco came out next and was so pretty wearing a koi fish print shirt. He has the best shirts. B was very friendly. Mads brought up the Coco thing (he signed as Coco on her INBLT booklet from the Manila show) and we got to hear him talk about his nickname again, it was so sweet and precious (his nieces call him Coco if you need a refresher). I love hearing him speak in general aaaa (you know me). Gotta say I also loved hearing him yell “Monsieur Mazzalai” at Chris because he was the last one needed to sign Mad’s awesome jacket. Chris made a face at him 😂. I had a few minutes with B and I am v happy he signed his name with the music note doodle! Sadly I didn't have the time to get to Chris bc he had to leave in a separate car (the rest of the boys got into one van, I remember Branco had a whole foods market bag aha). I did get to watch Chris run to the car with his suitcase which was funny and adorable, I love him. 

7/6 | Night 2 💗

the show They did long distance call!! Aaah! I was finally at the barrier, right between Thomas and Deck (literally the center can you believe it). The show was amazing as usual and they had balloons that would rain down on us in italian flag colors. It was at this show where a lot of balloons were falling onto the stage so Deck was using his bass and hitting the balloons (og it was so precious). He was having so much fun. I got a Deck wink during the show too aaa 💖 . Also, they played Lovelife with Giorgio Poi which was really cool! The boys had told us yesterday that they had a special planned for tonight, and this was that! And, I got to touch Thomas’s hair lol he was in our section a lot! 💘

after the show

so many faces We stayed for the afterparty because the boys had told us last night to stay and meet them here. It was funny because we were all awkward at the party so we followed them around like children while other people were actually partying.

We saw Sofia!!! She was gorgeous, literally radiating. It was unreal to see her in person. Cosima was with her! We also saw Chris’s girlfriend! Ah they were so cute (they were getting sake, dancing by the DJ, it was adorable). Chris was going around everywhere, drinking a lot of sake and beer lol. I flagged him down once to say hi and he said hello and he pat my back and LEFT 😂. So I had to flag him down again to ask for rally to be signed. It was a bit uncomfortable to follow them around and when there’s a moment/you get the guts to say hi they are either with someone else or with family and you’re just standing there so awkwardly lol. It’s easier to talk to them when they’re outside vs inside with music playing and it being a bit dark. I think we all agreed on this.

branco I also spotted Branco too! I found him near the back by the merch and asked for a photo again. My phone was such a failure that it took a while to get a photo so when it was done he asked if it was okay, twice 😭 (it’s still a bit blurry but I think it’s cute). Sweet bb koala you are so precious 🐨. 

7/7 | Night 3 💗

the show We were back at the barrier for the last night (for us), back to the right side between Deck and Chris. We got to hear playground love (waaaaaaah) and tuttifrutti! Playground love was so beautiful og 😭.

Throughout each night during sunskrupt, Branco would take a water break. A massive water break. He would drink water, keep the bottle at his lips and look into the screen, pondering life, then take another long drink of water. It was so long we were laughing and watching him drink water each night 😂 It was such a thing. I was that dork who took photos of this moment hahaha.

After playground love was countdown (when Chris came out, he brought his own guitar instead of picking up the one that was on stage, already tuned I think). Going into countdown, he had to put a capo on the guitar and tune it a bit, which took a very short amount of time but it was still something he had to do, and he was like ah merde! It was really funny and cute to hear him swear on stage since it was dead quiet 😂 

cute speciale things I tried their phoenix sake and took a polaroid in the telefono booth! It’s so cute. I also tried their childhood sandwiches on a “DAMN good baguette” (yeah they advertised it like this) and I gotta say, it sure was tasty. I didn’t get to try the gelato. Everything was so cute, they had ti amo balloons and a disco ball. They had a DJ too (I remember seeing Hedlund and Daniel Glass DJ-ing). The super mercato was so cool but I heard it kept breaking. Luckily I was able to get the pins and patches I wanted! (Though I didn’t notice they had a blue ti amo patch until it was too late!) The merch table also had a lot of cool merch and some old stuff from Bankrupt!. The entire vibe of the place was amazing. Every glass surface was graffitied with phoenix ti amo nyc 💘.  

after the show

chris and branco (ft. the greatest conversation) The afterparty this night felt a bit more natural for us. Maybe because we knew what to expect, but overall it was just more comfortable. At the party, we saw only Chris wandering around. We spoke to him and got to tell him we were all friends online and he was really surprised (it was cute). He was v thankful for us cheering so much! He was so smiley aaah. Mads finally was able to give him the cutest phoenix doodle she made (literal cutest he found himself and kept pointing to it 😭). I also remember a bit where Vee was talking about Deck’s spider pose and Chris was asking how to do it and then he tried to do it 😂 Chris is the best hahaha

After the venue kicked us out/ the party ended, we went outside and found that Branco was already outside talking to other fans. I was being silly on this last night and was speaking (was I loud?) about how cute he was to my friends and saying dumb things like look at those eyebrows and those cheeks (everything abt him is so cute ok i love this koala) and he stared into my soul 3 times (while talking to another group of fans) 🙈 and I didn’t know what to do im sorry for staring at u B 😭 💀 (you’re so pretty god!!)

Ok once it was our turn to talk to B, we talked to him abt…..pokemon 😂 (I don’t want to say too much but supposedly he has pokemon go and I love pokemon so you can imagine why we went down this path). It was a perfect opportunity since Vee also likes pokemon and her backpack featured the eevee evolutions. He was like ahh pokemon…. We asked him to pick a favorite from the backpack and I think he was confused (it was dark) and he pointed to eevee and named it as pikachu. The way he said it was so cute oh my god. He was like that’s pikachu (he said it twice). We were telling him that’s eevee and then he was saying that he is very old from another time, the shakespearean time. I think Vee then said he’s immortal or a vampire and he didn’t deny it. (idk why) I had to bring up the old cringe photoshoot they did where he looks like a vampire and he was watching and listening to me so intently as I was describing it. Mads saved it and just said it was posted on their IG and he was like ahh. (He probably was like these girls are so weird). Then he said that he knew the pokemon names but in french and so he pointed to vaporeon and said that’s aquali. It was SO CUTE. WOW. I can still hear his voice saying aquali. Literally so precious. 

Switching topics, Mads was asking if he saw the super cute doodle she did that she gave to Chris and I think he said he didn’t, but Chris said he showed him? (this part is a little fuzzy for me). Branco said that Chris never lies, called him over and then they were discussing if Chris had shown him/if Branco was present. Chris said that Branco probably forgot, then shortly after they started to speak in french to each other and we felt like shit was going down right in front of us omg (brothers fighting?!). At the end of it Branco opened his mouth without saying anything, then closed it, speechless (or, I thought of a cat showing its teeth lol) it was insane.  

Aaaaaa if you made it here thanks for reading 💗 It was such a cool time seeing phoenix with the feenix gang from online! I hope we all get to do it again in the future ✨ You all made this experience so memorable. 

[uglypastels]

eeeek!! im so so sorry that it took me this long to read this. i'm so excited and you know it that i will be commenting as i go so let's get to itttt haha <33

so to start off- love a richkid moment <3 i'm getting ready for the Rolex Watch *takes out binoculars*

“God….” he murmurs, deep voice vibrating against your lips. He brings a hand to cup the side of your face, and you feel yourself gasp as the cool metal of his signet rings -- ok so we are getting straight to it 🥵 fuck the ringsss.

aaaah her wanting to mess up his hair because he looks soft, so true bestie :')

You’d only come with someone else to get his attention.- somehow this gives me very big Gossip Girl vibes and even though i never even managed to finish the show (oops) i fucking love it xoxo

“I like risk,” you say, “we’ve done worse. Do you remember the sauna? -- what happened in the sauna sis 👀

oh shit 👀 not a hickey... and fuck jealous!tom really is in a league of his own wow. god tier

Your heart is a delicate ware, and you hide it behind layers of snark and nonchalance. Only someone truly persistent would be able to reach it, -- well shit i was not prepared to be hit with such emotional pain right there. but also, i will take this time to say how beautiful your writing is (as always) ugh i envy you and your talent, seriously.

“You are not annoying,” he says seriously. “You are spectacular.” -- 😭😭

“I said, guess what, sweetheart?” -- he's such a dick and i'm so here for it fuCK

But we both know that the only way this ends is with you and me, getting together. It ends with us being in love and being happy-- the fact i actually fucking gasped at reading this. wtf my emotions did not sign up for this rollercoaster (but i will gladly go again!)

(at this moment, the cat decided to disturb my reading, so here you go a picture of the variant)

“And, seeing as you have a habit of declining my invitations, I made my own arrangement.” He pauses, eyes narrowing slightly. “Is that okay, darling?” -- such. a. fucking. dick. why is it so hot????

fuck i forgot golf!tom is making an appearance in this too. (eventhough you have 2 pretty obvious pics of him golfing. i just got so lost in the story lmao <33)

Nothing sounds attractive about chasing a ball around a field for several hours -- preach (laughing crying emoji)

i am literally scared and oh no poor harryyyy...

but your cousin Theo has brought his girlfriend, Annabeth. -- annabeth!!! 🥺

“I don’t know,” you drawl, maintaining eye contact with Tom, “I think he’s scared of me. -- scared... sorry but that did make me laugh a bit. aww harry <3

“Do not distract me from my game, or I won’t hesitate to make you regret it.” 👀👀👀

There’s a point where he ends up behind you, arms around you, hands resting over yours as he guides you through the swing. -- that is some good stuff right there 👌

“This is the worst performance I’ve put in all season,” he says, “it’ll ruin my average. Yes, darling. I’m mad.” Tom lets his teeth close around your earlobe as he bites. You whimper at the sharp ache. “Knock it off.”--- oh my fucking god- please abort the mission. abort the mission. im scared now.

You want a hole in one—it just isn’t the type that everyone else around you is striving for -- 👀

He’s open, willing to listen to the boundaries that both of you know have to be set before you engage in any sort of intimate activity. --- we love to see the consent king.

“Do you really want to keep this up?” he challenges. “Really?”.... yes.

Tom raises a brow./ “Thank you,” you say immediately, voice hoarse, throat scratchy. “Thank you, sir.” --- i- just keep breathing, dont scream, take a deep breath- aaah fuck fuck fuck

“Gimme a kiss, darling,” he coos. When he’s lingering in front of you, he puckers up his lips dramatically, staring at you insistently until you step forward to plant a kiss on his mouth. -- he's so fucking cuuute i can't take it and my head is spinning from the 360 this is taking.

and it took me this fucking long to realise that "skort" is an actual thing i- im so dumb 💀

you are absolutely mad but i love you for it H 💖

okay maybe i shouldn't be enjoying it as much but i love the snarky banter between them ah its just *chef's kiss* honestly, all my compliments to the chef.

not to out myself but the fucking degradation and praise is doing my head in- 💀

“Gimme a kiss, darling,” he coos. When he’s lingering in front of you, he puckers up his lips dramatically, staring at you insistently until you step forward to plant a kiss on his mouth. -

i am actually shaking. need a moment to get over this. holy fucking shit!!

and we're back to softboi!tom. be still my beating heart <3

His eyes are so pretty.-- they really fucking are.

Tom squeezes your hand. “What if I want you to melt?”-- can you hear that? it's just me screaming because they are so fucking cuteee

oh my god there's more?? there's more i am so not ready for this part oof ok you really went far and beyond with this one.

It’d shown you a new side to him—one you’d known was sure to exist, but you’d never had the pleasure of meeting before. You’ve discovered that Tom is really good at being domestic—has already memorised the way you take your tea and the layout of the cupboards in your kitchen. He looks just as good in sweats as he does in a suit, and being casual draws out his silly sense of humour. You’ve learned that Tom likes to kiss your forehead, enjoys snuggling his face into the crook of your neck. He’s cute, and he’s generous, and he’s considerate, and—---- im crying this is too fucking much. is there a warning for too much fluff? cause there should be 🥺😭😭🥺

He’s standing across the terrace right now, arm wrapped around the shoulder of somebody else. -- ex-FUCKING-scuse me??! do not mess around with me now. i'm already too emotional. i- i'd say i'm refusing to keep reading but we both know that i will never be able to stop reading your work hannah, but seriously if this- ah i'll keep on reading

“Did you ever consider that I like jumping through hoops? Love it, even?” --- how many times are you gonna make me cry today? how manyyyyy what have i ever done to youuuu

i would want to finish this off with a concluding paragraph saying how amazing this was to read but i feel like it would make me sound like a broken record but fuck it really is so amazing. the way you describe things is just so beautiful and heartwarming. no matter what the story is, you can't help but get sucked into it and it really is a testament to your skills. just- phenomenal. with each fic i read of yours they just keep getting better and better and i think, wtf have i done to know such a fantastic person with so much talent in them <3

Hi so i saw the sleepover ask game (im kinda late tho) and skdjf well i just wanna gush about my crush? Lol i don't wanna tell my friends about this, they would probably tease me forever skdjfhksdjf so lets call him blueberry cuz you gotta have code names for this stuff LOL ok so the first class i had with him was chem in 10th grade and i actually didn't talk to him much, we just sat next to each other and we would just check our classwork together (he would always finish super early and have a bunch of time left over and im like how??) We sat in rows in that class, and he sat next to me and there were also 2 other guys who sat in front of us, and towards the end of the year one of them brought his nintendo switch to class and he had 4 controllers so we would play mario kart together when we finished classwork. (im amazing at mario kart, i consistently get 11th or 12th place which itself is a skill LOL JK) The teacher got mad at us once because we were so loud lol, but we were all pretty good students so she didn't take the switch away haha. Nothing much happened, i never talked to him outside that class, i just thought he was kind of cool. And then we had to be quarantined because of covid so i didn't see him the rest of the year or my entire 11th grade year.

This year (senior year whoop whoop) we have comp sci and physics together. We play cards with our group of friends in comp sci because we don't really have too much work, and hes always playing around during games lol, like if we’re supposed to put one card down he’ll put his entire stack down and say “I’m done” as if we can’t see he just put his entire stack down lol XD Comp sci and physics are the last 2 classes of the day, so we walk together with this other 10th grader to physics class (its only like a 30 sec walk because the classroom are so close bskdjfhkjj) but im always happy to see him wait for me after class ^^ even though its really mostly us two waiting for the 10th grader LOL. so this one time we were waiting outside the classroom, i peeked into the classroom to see what was taking that 10th grader so long and blueberry saw the door about the close on me so he said “watch out” and held the door sdljfhdkf ok obviously anybody would probably do that but i thought it was cute. He makes me kind of nervous sdkfjhdk whenever we talk in those 30 seconds walk to class all i do is talk about the weather skdfjhds thats so boring why am i like this T^T

Last thursday and friday he wasn't at school and i was curious why so i texted him for the first time ever sdlfkjdl i think i probably thought of every possible way to ask “why weren't you at school the last 2 days” because i was like, does this sound like an accusation? Do I add an emoji? So it took me like an hour to make up my mind whether or not i should text him, but i did and i thought it would take awhile for him to reply but i saw those 3 dots immediately and i was like omg what he’s already texting back and turns out he went to help his sister move into college in california. i almost started asking him about the weather in california PLZ sdkfjdhk im such an idiot ok, but i didn't and then we ended up having a really nice conversation about what we wanted to do in the future which i think is probably the most ive really talked to him? Because normally im like, “hey what did you get for problem 7 on the homework” LOL yeah anyways thats really all i have, who knows maybe it could be some kind of inspiration for your fics? This ended up so long sorry haha but i hope it was a fun distraction from your homework! But you should do your homework too, go get that degree!

let me just file a note in the back of my mind hehehe this is so cute!! i love hearing about crushes!!! aaah i'm so happy you texted him, friend. look at you taking the leap and making conversation with a cutie.

this is a very fun distraction, thanks for sharing haha. i've been nursing a migraine all day so i'm just in bed, remaking my social media au and trying not to stress out about anything lol

hope you have a good day/night!!

[sky-writes-thingss]

And now, since that was so cute, what about the opposite? A MC who isn’t romantically interested in anyone but likes to casually flirt with the members of the RFA~? You wrote the first one so well I couldn’t resist requesting a second lol

okay omg this took really long school is shit. just as last time i will also post one in a post and tag you in it lol.Mc nonromantic flirting with the rfaHey i hope this is what you mint. I used the same concept as the last one where mc tells them how much she cares and how much they mean to her.I know Saeran is your fave and i really did want to write him but i couldn’t really think how as in mint eye it would kind of end up the same as in the route and outside mint eye (secret ending) would it probably break his heart or he would just straight up ignore you. But i got other stuff with Saeran planned!! Aaah im really sorry ☹ I hope you still enjoy it!Yoosung• This little man has no experience with this, or at least not from someone he likes.• Since all the teasing and the little compliments you give him make him like you.• But he sees how you also do it with the others, and he rather keeps that to himself.• So every time yoosung is trying to study or game he has his phone close to him to look if you are online to talk• And ping, its you in the chatroom, asking of everyone ate their meal.• Before anyone else got the time too reply to your question yoosung pops up in the chatroom.• “yes i ate, did you mc”• You did. If you did not this boy will come to your house and feed you• And you chat for a while, he likes it, he likes the compliments and he likes how you tell him how much you care about him• So he even starts sending selfies and telling you about his life, his interest the things he likes.• You discover so much about him, he isn’t only gamming he is so much more, yoosung likes a lot of things he just doesn’t show it as he’s always gamming.• You are interested in what he has to tell, you even care about it. That is not something he had before.• The other members make fun of him but you are kind to him and interested in him.• You make him happy, and that is rare since he felt mostly depressed after the death of rika.• You making him happy was so important for him, even the others notice it, it didn’t need to mean you would date him but just letting him know he is worth it and telling him he’s beautiful.• You are the only one in the rfa who really respects him who sees him as someone more then the boy who is addicted to lolol.• You even tell him when 707 is pulling a prank on him, which makes him much confident!• This little man has so much to thank you for.Seayoung• He just flirted back. Making jokes, pulling pranks.• He called you bea and you just did that back, he loved it. Just some flirting around and hearing he was loved• This is what he says though. • Because deep inside its breaking him. He is in love with you, and he knows he isn’t the one who should date because you deserve way better.• And dating him would bring you in danger anyway wouldn’t it?• So maybe a part of him was glad you had not romantic interests in him.• But it was still killing him. So much that he just didn’t show up in the chatroom as much as he used to. • But he always watched, he watched you being loving and nice to the others.• Which hurt him even more, but he hoped you would end up with one of the others, that you would be happy.• Yes you being happy is something he would love to see. • He would love to see you happy with him…. No he couldn’t do that, not with him that would be dangers. He guesses he will just stick to watch your endless flirting.• So after a while of just watching the chatroom he comes back. And you tell him you missed him, you missed his jokes and how he’s always happy.• If you knew the truth• He happily replies back with another joke, sending emojis and telling you and the other members that god707 was very busy with work.• Which he was, but he just didn’t open the chatroom for a while. • That made vanderwood happy, the redheaded hacker finely did his work but even he noticed he was sad.• The flirting and loving keeps going as he’s still in love with you. Even though he doesn’t want that.• And even when you get a partner, when you are happy, older and found the love of your life.• He keeps wising all the flirting had a meaning and that he would be the one you would call your soul mate.Oh my gosh that one ended up way more sad then i planned to im sorryJeahee• First she’s not sure why you talk to her like that. • She has experience, like she said in that long message she would rather erase.• So she’s knows that you are flirting, but her boss is around so she was not really planning to flirt back.• And she wasn’t sure of it was just how you talked to people or that you where into her.• Most experience she had was with man, she never flirted or had a woman flirt with her.• It confused her a bit, but she doesn’t show it and keeps talking to you, planning the party and such.• But it makes her feel things, things she felt before, with man?• But she ignores those feelings, since she has to focus on work and on the party.• Since that party does not only exists about answering emails, someone has to plan more things.• And that someone is jeahee, she works hard on that party you want to make. And she never really gets the credit.• Even back with rika it was mostly rika who got the credit, all that love how great she was. But jeahee did a lot for the party, a lot.• And no one ever thanked her, she just did her work.• But you, you thank her. • And that makes her so happy honestly, and it’s not only the thank you/ it is a sea of compliments.• It makes her smile, and feel those things again.• In short, you kind of make her discover she’s also into girls.• And that opens a whole new world for her, and even after you found your love of your life. She’s thankful for it.• She doesn’t admit it, but thanks to you she stared to experimented and watch videos online. And she was sure, she has a thing for girls.• She never says thank you though.Jumin• “okay thank you….” Is his reply when you compliment him.• He has a lot of experience with being flirted with. Girls at the RFAparty did it, and so did people at other places.• Basically everywhere, Jumin is handsome and rich so a lot of girls want to marry that man or just get in his pants.• And he sees his father flirt a lot, he sees it from a lot of sides even though he mostly doesn’t flirt back himself. • Maybe a part of him would have wanted too at a party. But he knows that most of the girls just want his money. • Maybe he has done it once when he was drunk, form too much wine.• But nothing much has happened though.• As much as everyone sees him as the daddy of the RFA he is a virgin in everything he hasn’t even kissed.• So when you just joined the RFA and the flirting started.• He really thought that you where one of those girls who want his money.• But after a while he notice that you don’t just do that with him, but also with the others. But the most with him though.• So that night he sits in his office and thinks, he asks himself things like “what does she want”, “is this romance”• And after a while he sees you enter the chatroom, and so does he.• It’s the usually again, Jumin recommends you a guest and you thank him. In your own flirty way.• And he just does it, as the straightforward person he is.• He types “are you flirting with me mc?”• And he click sends and watches how the message pops up in the chatroom, which it also did on your phone.• He waits for you to finish your typing. And it takes a few min as you take your time to explain that it’s not meant as flirting.• That this is how you talk, that you don’t mean anything romantically, but that it comes over as flirting to a lot of people. • You just apricate your friends a lot. And you are sometimes a bit teasing, but you do not try to flirt with him.• You say sorry. You didn’t want him to think that.• But he is okay with it, he understands now and says you should just stay yourself.Zen• Oohh this man loves it!’• A lot of the flirting you do with him is compliments about his amazing looks. And he agrees with them.• You tell him he is beautiful, he knows that and he takes all the compliments.• And he flirts back, as you are handsome, pretty and hot. And he lets you know that.• Which makes you like the flirting even more, so you keep going.• And then jeahee comes and tells you, you cannot do that he is famous actor.• And Zen understands where he comes from but he doesn’t care, he loves flirting with you. And wouldn’t care if you became his partner• Which jeehae notices again and sees tells you how you could better not do that.• But after you assure her it’s not to be his partner. But just because she talk like that. She will stop.• Well at least that is what she says as she doesn’t really stop• One day he is back from the gym and send a selfie without a shirt. • The first thing you do is compliment that beautiful body of his. Which makes Zen really happy, and he flirts back.• Jeahee is offline so she cannot complain. Which makes you have more fun in it, you use cute emojis and you ask questions about how his day was.• You lissen to his story and shown a lot of interest. Which is true though, Zen his stories are pretty interesting.• You also tease him a little, “hey Zen don’t let to many girls look up to you I might get a little jealous.”• He responds to this by telling that he can’t help that he’s so handsome. The narcissist comes up again. Covering all his insecurities.• And this keeps going, just a flirt between the 2 of you, jeahee keeps trying to stop it.• But after a while she gives up.• And the flirting keeps going between you two, you also flirt a bit with the others.• But mostly with zen, which he appreciates.

Santana: The Adventure Begins!

You know the drill! 

Jacob was still getting used to his new surroundings. He and Cheetara mainly had hung out at home mostly together. As long as Jacob tended to Cheetara, she was such a happy cat. He didn’t mind that she jumped on every piece of furniture that she could see.....even the fridge at times. He’d marvel at the fact that she could get herself up there to begin with. It was quite a leap from the counter! 

She loved to play with the laser pointer. She thought that there was an actual fish to catch that fell on the floor! Silly Cheetara! 

While this was a favorite thing for him to do with Cheetara, Jacob also loved to post pictures on simstagram of her. Each time he did, he swore she knew it and would give him this sassy pose!

One night though, as he was settling in, he realized that he had yet to get out and meet some people. While being here with his cat and being contented in doing so, he knew he needed some social interactions. Stroking his cat and giving Cheetara some much needed love, he made plans to go out the very next day. 

“Tomorrow Cheetara, I am going to have to go out for a bit” he told her. She yawned and stretched herself out on her bed once Jacob laid down in his own bed. 

The next day, he got a good breakfast and searched the papers for the nearest gym. That was his first mission. To join a gym nearby and start going regularly.

Once he found one, he went in and applied for a membership. When he went up to the floor he found that the place had punching bags--it was perfect. He started working out and it felt really good to get back into routine again. 

After that, when he was through, he decided to go home and shower there. He was sure that Cheetara was missing him terribly. Cheetara, on the other hand, was asserting her independence quite well and he didn’t need to worry so much. But, he decided to spend some time with her anyway before heading back out. He really did need a cup of coffee!

He decided to leave her while she was intent on attacking the fake bird on her little house and hop on down to the nearest Bearbucks place. He heard that it was pretty good coffee and that it got a lot of business so he was ever hopeful that he would meet someone. 

As he got to the place and went in to order, he found that the place was doing quite well for itself. He had ordered a skinny vanilla latte and was waiting on his drink when a gorgeous lady bumped into him accidentally. 

“Oh, excuse me”

“Thats quite alright” he said smoothly. Then he looked up and caught her eye. She smiled. 

“Youre new in town, aren’t you?”

“How can you tell?” Jacob chuckled. She laughed at the joke, there was really no way she could really tell to be honest. 

“Well, you know how towns are.......everyone knows everyone else.......new people come in and suddenly its the talk of the town”

“Im the talk of the town?”

“It was an over exaggeration.......” she seemed to have decided that it was a stupid thing to say and shook her head. She then extended her hand, “Im Mandy”

“Hello Mandy, my name is Jacob” he smiled. He rather liked this lady and was very intent on getting to know her better. Clearly she shared his feelings and the two started flirting. 

“You want to grab your drink and talk a while?” she offered. 

“Sure!” 

The conversation went from that to jobs, cats, hobbies, and other things. She learned that Jacob wanted to be physically fit and was working out at a gym in the next town over and that he didn’t have a job yet. He wanted to become a trainer at his gym but felt that general knowledge of what the place had to offer and the clientele was essential before trying to procure a job there. Finally, it went toward relationships. Something that Jacob had some interest in. 

“So......are you single?” Mandy asked and turned bright pink. Jacob, by this time was totally smitten with her and thought it was cute.

“Yeah, its just me and my girl Cheetara at home”

“She sounds like such a beautiful cat” 

“You can meet her if you want to” he suggested. He got a little closer and decided to try his luck. 

They talked like this for another hour and a half, til Mandy realized that she needed to head on home. They exchanged numbers and parted ways. Jacob couldn’t believe his luck! She was such a great lady and beautiful too! He wanted to meet up with her again after that and resisted the urge to call her right away after she had left him. 

It was nearing the cocktail hour by then and he didn’t feel like going home just yet, so he went to Jaime’s Jailhouse bar for a drink. There, he met a young man by the name of Jace and had witnessed him asking this young lady out. It seemed like love was definitely in the air and it made even the most surly bartender smile. He learned that Jace was needing some time to relax as his studies were getting to him and how his dog Hazel was needing to be trained. Both jobs really stressed him out at times. 

After a while, he sighed, drained his glass, and left. He was tired and Cheetara was waiting on him, he had no doubt. He devised a plan to get up the next day and call Mandy right away for a date later. Little did he know that she was going to do the same thing. 

At 10 am, the phone rang.

“Hello, Jacob?”

“Yes! Hello!”

“Its Mandy and I wanted to know if you’d like to go on a date tonight?”

“Sure thing! In fact, did you want to show me around town? We could make a day of it”

“That would be lovely” she brightened. They planned to meet at noon. Between now and then, Jacob hurried along with his usual chores and worked out at home this time. Then, he took a shower before leaving. 

“Cheetara, I’ll be back” he cooed at her, rubbed her belly, and was off. They decided to meet at the Bearbucks cafe first. 

Upon seeing her, he decided that right then and there that he wanted to give her a kiss. He couldn’t help himself and he found that she was more than willing to reciprocate!

The thought of there being something behind that kiss was electrifying. So much in fact that he decided to dip her. 

Once she caught her breath and he set her back on her feet again, she fanned herself and said, “If this is the start of our date, one has to wonder what else is in store!” she giggled and turned an even deeper shade of pink. Jacob loved eliciting that response from her. 

During the date, she took him to the museum and showed him all the priceless works of art there was. When they came up to the ship display, he caught her hand, “mademoiselle......”

“Yes?”

“You are such a beautiful woman......I can hardly resist” he said, feeling as corny as it sounded, and sunk down to kiss her hand in a gentlemanly way.

“Oh.....oh my, sir” she chuckled and fanned herself yet again. “In that case, there is a view I want you to see. Its simply a must see!” she said and took his hand. They left for the light house just down the road. 

When they got there, Jacob admitted that he wanted to do something more than just flirt with her and make her laugh. He wanted to woohoo! She seemed to feel the same, so they snuck inside for a bit.

As they finished and came back out to go home, they kissed each other and said their goodbyes. He had a wonderful time and again, he wasn’t ready to go home. He was floating on cloud nine. 

The night seemed to drift past him and before he knew it, he was in his bed and waking up for the gym that day. No matter what he tried, he couldn’t get past the thought of Mandy. He certainly hoped to see her more often. 

As he was enjoying his chef salad, Cheetara came up to see him and sniff at his meal. He chuckled and petted her a little bit. 

“Aaah, Cheetara my dear......I think that we have found a place we can be happy in. Are you happy?”

Cheetara questioningly looked up and meowed. 

“Oooh, I have been out and about huh? Do you need some lovin?” he cooed. He picked her up and held her.

For the rest of his night, he hugged and played with Cheetara as well as scratched her in all her favorite spots. He was definitely happy in this adventure he had chosen to go on. 

Thanks again for reading! Hope you all have a good evening!

iiiiiiii.

"Are you nervous?" Jonas whispers as he feels Isak's shaky breath rattle his body, his fingers working quickly to fix his tie.

"No," Isak takes a big gulp of air. "Yes, fuck, I'm nervous. I never thought I'd be doing this."

Jonas chuckles, letting his hands drop to his sides and he steps back as Isak takes in another deep breath - his hands are shaking, and Jonas notices, "Just think, you're marrying the man of your dreams."

"I'm not exactly sure if he's the man of my dreams-"

"Isak Valtersen, you're literally thirty-three years old and have been chasing after him since high school and so has he. I'm sure he's the man of your dreams."

Isak laughs weakly, shaking his hands frantically to try and get rid of his nerves, but of course it doesn't work. He feels Magnus pat his shoulder and he smiles at the boys in front of him, all standing there, looking proud of their best friend.

"Are you happy?" Jonas asks.

"Yes," Isak answers quietly.

"With him?"

"Of course."

"Then get your ass over there, walk down that aisle, and marry the man of your dreams," Jonas grins.

"Always so pushy," Isak rolls his eyes jokingly.

"Well, I should be, since you are getting married."

"Guys, we should head out. If we're gonna be Even's best men, we need to get out there. Isak has to be at the altar in ten," Magnus explains and Mahdi nods, following them out the door and Isak is left alone in the dressing room.

5 minutes pass before his mother walks in, pride beaming from her face, "Halla!"

Isak manages a smile, "Hi, mamma."

"Are you almost ready?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"You think? Or are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Isak responds.

"Good. Now, come on, we got only a few minutes, pappa is in the very front row, and just remember. You can turn back at any time if you're not sure," she says, a stern look in her eyes.

Isak huffs, "I'm sure about this, mamma."

"I'm just glad I'm still around to see my boy marry - took you long enough."

They both laugh a little as they walk towards the entrance, the wooden floor below them and Isak swears he's standing on a cliff, anxiety taking over. He looks over at his mom for reassurance and he gets a nod in response, and he slowly interlocks his elbow with hers just as the soft music begins, and his heart is racing with every step, and he hopes to God he doesn't trip. Not now.

He sees Jonas and the boys standing next to Even, smiling. He swoops his eyes through the crowd and spots Anette who is smiling so widely at him and he nods his head slightly in her direction as a quiet thank you, and then he quickly averts his eyes to Even. His heart swells with so much love and pride, and he almost quickens his pace, but he manages to stay steady. It seems like millions of years have gone by and soon he's holding Even's hand in his own, his mom taking her seat next to pappa, and he just wants to grasp her hand and make her stay, but it's too late.

He lets out a breath, smiling at Even, and Even grins back, his eyes sparkling and Isak just wants to stare into his eyes the whole time - and really, that's all he does. He almost drowns out the sound of the pastor but he quickly jumps to attention when he hears the word vows. He clears his throat, and Even waits patiently for Isak to start.

"Even, I don't know where I would be without you. Definitely not here, that's for sure. I probably wouldn't be in any happy place, either, but you've saved me. I was so broken and somehow, some way, you managed to put me back together so quickly unlike anyone else, so thank you."

"I know we've had such a rough past, but we're so mended together now. Not just as separate puzzles but as one of those painful puzzles that have so many pieces that are hard as hell to put together, but too beautiful to take apart again, and that perfectly sums up us," Isak takes a quick breath, his eyes burning with tears that he knows are bound to be shown.

"Just know how much I appreciate you. I could not be who I am right now without you. I love you," he finishes, slipping the silver band on Even's finger.

A tear slips and he quickly reaches up to wipe it away with his hand, letting out a weak laugh and so does Even, and Isak can see too that Even is on the verge of tears, but he starts on his own vows.

"Isak, the first time I saw you on the first day of school, I knew I couldn't ever forget about you. The grumpy teenager that still had so much love inside him. The Kosegruppa meeting meant so much to me, even though we barely knew each other even then, but now I feel as though I know every thing about you, even everything you think needs to be kept away in all those cracks of yours," Even smiles.

"One day, I swear to make a movie about you, and show you how much you mean to me, and how much I love and care about you. I hope you know you've changed me as a person, and that I can never love someone as much as I love you, right now. There are probably an infinite collection of Isak's and Even's doing this right now, but it's just that we're outside or something," Isak and Even laugh together, and Isak shakes his head, continuing to absorb every word.

"It has been my privilege to be able to put you back together again, and it is my greatest joy to be spending every minute with you for the rest of my life. I love you, so very much," and just like Isak, he finishes too, placing the silver band right on Isak's ring finger and Isak's heart jumps a bit. This is real.

Isak reaches up gingerly to wipe away Even's tears, and then he wipes away his own just as the pastor begins to speak again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am so very proud to announce the newly wed couple of Isak Valtersen and Even Bech Naeshiem. You may now kiss your groom," the pastor beams as Even pulls Isak close by his waist and quickly leans down, sealing their lips, despite the salty taste from their tears, and in this moment the puzzle is finally completed.

They hear everyone around them cheering, and when they finally pull away, they're grinning at each other as they take each others hand and start down the aisle, hugging their family and friends.

As they leave, everyone else files behind them and into the venue for the after-party. The music is already blasting, and when they enter the room, Isak is engulfed in compliments from the boys.

"Isak, we're so fucking proud of you man," Magnus exclaims, throwing his arm around Isak's shoulders.

"We're happy for you, Isak. Really," Mahdi grins, already gulping away at his champagne.

"Thank you, guys. For being there for me when I needed it and for being here with me now, it means a lot."

"That's what we're here for, man," Jonas smiles.

Even makes his way over to the boys and pulls Isak to the side, winking as the boys give them dirty but joking looks, and Even has to lean in close to Isak can hear him due to the loud music, "Eva and them want to talk to you. They're over there by the cake."

Isak nods, smiling, brushing his hand over Even's waist before heading towards the girls. As soon as they spot him, they all scream in excitement.

"Isak! We're so happy for you!" Eva says, wrapping Isak in a tight hug.

"Thank you, Eva."

"We knew you would meet each other in the middle sooner or later," Sana laughs and Noora smiles, taking a small sip of her wine.

"I'm pretty sure we all knew since high school," Vilde grins. "We're all happy for you, you deserve to be happy. And thanks to my Kosegruppa meeting, you two got closer!"

Isak laughs, nodding, "Yeah, I guess you're right. I think thanks are in order. Thank you, Vilde."

Vilde nods, taking a drink of her wine straight from the bottle, "I knew those meetings weren't for nothing."

-

They talk for a while before Magnus announces over the mic that it's time for the cake to be cut and Isak feels the butterflies erupt in his stomach because once again he's realizing this is real. His hand finds Even's as they head towards the beautiful cake, and they both take the knife in their hands and gingerly make an incision in the side, cutting out the perfect piece. Per tradition, they take turns feeding each other and Isak can't help but giggle at how cliche it is.

In the middle of eating their cake, a slow song comes on. Isak ignores it, but Even is there pulling at his hands, "Come on! The newly weds are supposed to have their first slow dance," Even grins.

Isak groans but follows Even out into the middle of the dance floor anyway, the feeling of Even's hands placed on his waist enough to make him feel comfortable, and arms placed behind Even's head. They dance carefully, their hearts syncing to the slow music. Isak lets out a content sigh, lying his head on Even's shoulder and he knows Even is smiling.

"How much longer until we can go home?" Isak mumbles quietly.

"Maybe an hour or so, depends when people get too drunk," Even chuckles.

Isak smiles to himself, looking up at Even with eyes filled with love and adoration, "I want to go now."

"Now? Really? We've only been here for about two hours," Even pouts.

Isak sighs softly, shrugging, "I just want to go back to our home, we can tell people I'm not feeling well or something."

Even sighs but eventually gives in to the younger boys request. He heads off to tell Magnus and them and to make sure to spread the word as Isak stands near the door. Within five minutes, Even is by his side again, taking his hand and leading him out the door to his car. He holds the door open for Isak and he gets in quickly, anxiously wanting to get home.

Even enters the car and starts the ignition, but hesitates before pulling out of the parking lot, "Why do you want to go home?"

"I want to be with you, and just you," Isak admits, shrugging, and he can't help but blush.

"Good enough for me," and with that, Even heads off towards home.

They arrive in about ten minutes and they quickly make their way into their flat and shuffle out of their shoes and they change into something more comfortable - sweats, hoodies, etc.

Isak quickly makes his way towards Even who is standing on the other side of the room and wraps his arms around his waist, pulling him close and into a deep kiss, and eventually his hands wander up to Even's hair. He can feel Even laugh into the kiss and that makes him pull away, raising an eyebrow.

"What's so funny?"

"I know why you wanted to leave - you're still a lightweight. You could barely handle three beers. You're tired," Even grins.

"Am not!" Isak says defensively, crossing his arms.

"It's late, lets just sleep okay?"

Isak sighs, but he does really know he's tired, so he obliges, slipping off his shirt and Even does the same and they crawl into bed together and their legs entangle automatically, Even's arm draped across Isak's waist, and that's how they sleep that night - just peacefully, because they really deserve it.

-

When Isak wakes up in the morning, he smiles to himself, looking down at his hand and finding the glistening ring. He looks over at the clock and finds that it's almost eleven in the morning, so he makes his way out of bed, not even bothering to put on a shirt and when he makes his way into the kitchen, he sees Even was thinking the same thing.

He watches as Even pulls out the eggs from the fridge, placing them on the counter along with a pan, setting it on the stove. Isak shuffles across the room, wrapping his arms slowly around Even's waist and he can feel him shiver. Isak grins just as Even turns around in his arms, raising a mischievous eyebrow.

"Well, good morning, sunshine," Even says and Isak places a small kiss on his lips.

"Good morning," Isak glances over at the food on the counter. "What are you making? Breakfast?"

Even nods, slipping away from Isak's grip and goes back to stand by the counter, arranging the ingredients. Isak goes over to the empty counter and jumps up onto it, the cold marble underneath his hands. He watches Even intently, a warm feeling spreading through his stomach.

Even lets out a huff - a huff of anxiousness and wanting - and all of a sudden Isak finds Even between his legs, his hands placed on his thighs, and Even has his face cradled between his hands and he's kissing him roughly.

Even pulls away for a moment, and Isak's eyes are wide with bewilderment but pleasure, his hair a way worse mess than what it was when he woke up, and Even mumbles in his husky voice before reconnecting their lips again hastily, "Breakfast can wait."

Isak grins, running his hands through Even's hair as they kiss, and soon he finds himself being picked up from the cold counter and being carried into their bedroom by Even, and Isak can't help himself but let out a small noise that gets lost in Even's mouth. Isak would have never guessed that putting together a puzzle could get so intense.

-

Afterwards, they just lay there in their bed, Even stroking Isak's eyebrow as Isak just gazes at him, lying on his stomach, Even on his side.

"How was that for you?" Even asks quietly, a small smile playing on his lips.

"Fucking great," Isak laughs. "For it being my first time, amazing."

Even grins, "Your first time? With a guy?"

Isak nods, "Yeah."

Even hums a bit, his eyelashes brushing against his skin and Isak takes in how beautiful Even looks to him. He reaches up a hand, brushing his fingers over Even's lip and Even smiles underneath the fingers, raising an eyebrow, "What are you doing?"

"Enjoying this moment," Isak answers honestly.

Even grins, "I love you."

"I love you, too," Isak answers as he leans forward, placing a gentle kiss on Even's lips.

"We've been through hell and back just to be together, but honestly I would do it all over again just to have you back," Even tells Isak, smiling softly.

"I would do anything for you," Isak responds, his eyes drooping a little from exhaustion.

"I appreciate that. Now sleep, baby," Even orders, smiling, as Isak's eyes drift shut. How perfect everything is fitting together for them.

How perfect.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN – RED SAILS BEST FORGOTTEN

According to Captain Blackeye, the Lunar Swell shaved four days off the six it would’ve taken to get to Galaga Island, affording them all two days to come to know one another better. On the first night, the meeting in the small dining room just below deck was a cramped and stilted experience until Wally set to work in the galley. As he found the space just the right size for him to work, he concluded it was Polly who prepared any of the captain’s meals, as imagining the bulky frame of the great commander of the sea doing anything in the small kitchen was far too hilarious to have ever actually happened.

The smell of whatever Wally happened to be cooking put everyone at ease enough to turn the atmosphere from confined into cozy. When the meal was finally placed before them, they all ate as if food was a long forgotten concept.

“Mm! Wally! What is this?!” Rozzi said as she hurriedly swallowed another mouthful.

“Well the galley’s storage didn’t exactly have a lot of variety, a number of drie goods and cured meats and a few containers with rice and spices… So I threw together an Icthyite recipe I knew with some of the vegetables I picked up at Areca. I mixed some potash into Wistea’s, extra salt for the Captain and Polly, a touch more meat in Hector’s, and a bit of bitter fruit in yours because Cri’tet told me you enjoyed that sort of thing.”

Blackeye savored his last bite quite audibly before speaking in an awestruck tone, “By the currents lad, if you’re this talented with a pot and pan, why on Mondia d’ya stick with makin’ cakes?”

Wally finished serving himself and sat at the table with everyone. “Well, aside from more personal reasons, there were dozens of cooks in Animana, but bakers were in short supply. After the war, everyone got used to making their own bread which, anyone will tell you, is the mainstay of any baker. So it was a difficult business, one where you had to be creative to survive. Everything about it appealed to me and the rest was just leading up to that.”

Polly attempted to speak in an ancient language that had never been deciphered, as it required the speaker to almost choke on the food filling their mouth at the time. As was always the case with innovators in said language, only a few garbled noises escaped before the food won out and made a direct charge on the throat. She beat on her chest to force down the mass of chewed rice, meat, and vegetables before it finally plopped into her belly.

“Chew then talk, sunshine.” Captain Blackeye nudged Polly’s drink toward her, which she happily gulped down to ease her throat.

“Captain,” began Hector. “I’ve been meaning to ask… A ship this size would need at least ten hands to manage. Even if you could do the work of five sailors, that’s still five short. What happened to your crew?”

“Gone on to betta things I bet. Told them I’d wait for the swell and sent’em off. That’s the way for us at sea. We drift on as the currents guide, maybe we run into each other on the way. But, some just stick with you… S’how I ended up with this little one here.” Blackeye patted his granddaughter on the head. “No doubt it’s clear she ain’t exactly the spittin’ image of this old fish. Her mam was a member of my crew ‘til she passed. She always had the habit to call me ‘pappy’ and it just kinda stuck, loved her the way father’s do and came time to deal with this one, I was happy to do it.”

“Mam was the ship’s navigator, so I do that now.” Polly said proudly.

“If I may also ask a question,” remarked Wistea. “How is it we were able to reach the top of the swell? I honestly felt as if we were going to tumble back into the ocean for a moment there.”

“Aha, that’s our Kettle Engine! Y’no doubt done seen the big metal bits ‘round the stern, yeah? That’s where the steam builds up from the boiler just under the galley. You take in sea water; boil it up ‘til y’get steam, then throw the switch by the wheel and OFF YA GO! Got it years back from a fella from Insicai named Rollo.”

Wistea suddenly sat a little straighter. “… I know I really should not be surprised to hear when one storied individual meets another but… You actually MET Rollo Poda, the so-called ‘Shining Star’ of Insicai?”

“Met ‘im? I carted him around Mondia for a year after the war was over. Said he was looking for something, didn’t tell me what ever. But he was a brave sort, liked him plenty, so I helped him out. Plus, I got to see some pretty amazing things on the way and he gave me the Kettle Engine as a gift. The God’s Fortune was already the fastest thing on any waters, that just made it even faster!”

“May I… See the boiler?” Wistea could barely contain her excitement.

Blackeye looked to Polly who happily hopped onto her feet and gestured to Wistea to follow. Her chair nearly toppled as she sprung from it and squeezed past everyone.

“Guess Poda was a big deal,” Wally concluded as he finished off his plate and set about cleaning the table. “Mind you the curiosity’s infectious now... I’ve been meaning to ask how you knew I used Fire magic.”

“You smelled like you’d been inside a furnace.”

Wally recalled being the center of a massive geyser of flame a few days earlier. “You could call what I did that…”

“Eh? Not that! I can tell that happened days ago… All magic usin’ folk got a smell to ‘em.” He gestures his fork at Rozzi. “She smells like a breeze o’ spring so she got Air magic.” He points to Hector. “This one’s a fresh rain, Storm magic. Your greenie friend smells like a mess’a flowers, Forest magic.”

Hector sat back. “Blimey, and I thought my nose was sharp.”

“Aaah, you’ll get there someday! Years of practice iz’all.”

“So you’ve met other people with Fire magic who had the power of insight?”

“All them magics come with lil’ extras y’never notice until you do. Fire folk shine their light on the absolute truth. Air folk are agile as leaves on wind. Storms c’n move faster than a blink when they want, Forests live long and hold onto memory like steel traps.”

“What about the others?” Rozzi said as she leaned in.

Blackeye grumbled a bit before leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms behind his head. “Ain’t gonna tell ya.”

“What? Why?!”

He chuckled quietly. “Where’s the fun in me tellin’ ya? Ain’t an adventure iffin’ I just toldja everythin’, eh? We meet some, then I’ll tell ya.”

Hector sat up, his tone serious. “Captain, Sir, I mean no offense but this is hardly an ‘adventure’. This is-”

Wally held up his hand, cutting Hector off. “He’s not going to tell us, Hector. His mind’s made up… We’ll be thinking on the fly half the time anyway, so better he tell us when we need to know it most.”

Hector stared at Wally for a moment before finally relaxing in his seat and going back to his meal, replying between mouthfuls, “Alright… But I don’t have to like it…”

---

A day away from port, the towering mass of water that carried them over the great expanse of ocean finally began to shrink, just as the captain had predicted. As the swell calmed, Blackeye saw fit to salute its passing and thanked it for the comfortable ride. Soon, when the sun rose to midday, Wally found himself looking out over the water again, but not in calm reflection. Something in the back of his mind raised a flag of caution that he couldn’t ignore. His legs felt tight and ready to hop, and his ears danced back and forth in search of something he couldn’t quite place. He approached Captain Blackeye slowly as the question he wanted to ask finally took shape. “Captain… Is it normal for there to be no other ships in sight this close to a major port?”

“The Lunar Swell ain’t exactly part of the normal ‘round these waters, but you’re right to worry. Gettin’ stiff gills I am, even if the waters got choppier than they’d ever been, there’s a few hard barnacles who’d sail out regardless. Should’ve seen one by now.”

“CAPTAIN!” shouted Polly from the crow’s nest. “THREE SHIPS! AHEAD STARBOARD! NO FLAGS!”

Wally and Blackeye turned their eyes and found the three vessels as barely dots in the distance. The reveal did nothing to alleviate Wally’s tension, in fact it only increased. “Something’s… Wrong.”

“Aye lad, don’t need your insight t’ know that. KEEP EYES ON ‘EM POLLY!”

“AYE CAP’N!”

“Mister Walter, take Mister Cani down to the Gun Deck and load starboard cannons, Proper knight like him knows how. MISS ORLAND! MISS FABOI! BE READY TO REPEL BOARDERS!”

Wally and Hector quickly rushed down to the gun deck, a small space with only four low caliber cannons, the kind best suited to a ship built for speed and agility over offense. Hector quickly walked Wally through the loading of one so he could move on to the other. As with everything he’d taught him, Wally caught on quickly and moved efficiently. He wondered for a second or two if that was the hard working kitchen boy in him or the knight he’d been fostering, and if their was even a difference anymore.

On deck, Rozzi kept her eyes on the approaching ships and her hand wrapped tightly around the grip of her sickle as Wistea questioned the Captain.

“So are they pirates? Corsairs? Privateers?”

“Pretty sure those are all the same thing, Wistea!” called out Rozzi.

“Preposterous! Why have different words for them then?”

“Greenie…” The captain almost growled. “They all the same when they tryin’ to cut your head off.”

Wistea instinctively reached for her neck and swallowed hard. “U-understood, Captain.”

Blackeye reached over the wheel to its pedestal, lifting up the brass cap there, revealing one end of a voice pipe. “You boys ready down there?”

Hector and Wally quickly searched the room for the source of the captain’s voice, finding the other end of the voice pipe at the far end of the gun deck.

“Aye sir!” called out Wally. “Just one question, who’re we even shooting at?”

“Hopefully no one,” replied Blackeye. “Defensive stance’s ‘til we know better.” Blackeye pressed on the center of the ship’s wheel, locking it in place. He headed into his cabin and from the wall pulled down his harpoon. It thrummed ever so slightly as he held it in his hands, its silvery sheen masking its age and exposing its mystical nature. A round dark blue gem seated in the foreshaft below the harpoon’s head flashed briefly as he gripped it. He then slid it into the slots stitched into the back of his vest and headed back outside, pulling the wheel lock out. He exhaled slowly as he took a loose grip of the wheel and allowed the rudder to drift slightly as he closed his eyes to focus his thoughts.

In his mind formed an image of a flat and endless ocean, in the distance; vague silhouettes of the approaching vessels appeared. The illusory ships caused the imagined water around them to ripple. Suddenly the ripples formed into waves and Blackeye quickly snapped back to reality and drew his harpoon. With the quick upward motion of it, a geyser of water rose beside the ship, and just as the sound of an approaching cannon ball reached the ears of those on deck, the geyser readily intercepted the shot, throwing it entirely off course and plopping it in the ship’s wake.

“Bilge drinkin’ scallops think they c’n take ol’ Blackeye from that far out… HAH!” the Captain thrust his harpoon in the direction of the ships and a sizable swell rushed toward them, forcing the ships off course and throwing off the following volley of shots just as they fired. “HANG ON LADIES, WE’RE MOVIN’ IN!” Blackeye spun the wheel hard and the ship took a sharp turn, now quickly moving toward the opposing vessels. “LET’S SEE YOU FIND YOUR RANGE NOW!”

Cannon shots flew over and beside the God’s Fortune as it charged toward the enemy flotilla with great speed. Blackeye called down through the voice pipe. “READY TO FIRE, STARBOARD SIDE!”

With the gunlock lanyards in hand, Wally and Hector readied themselves for the force and noise of the firing to come.

The God’s Fortune raced up to the ship furthest to the left of the formation, putting its broadside squarely in the cannon’s crosshairs. For barely a second, Blackeye’s senses picked up on something that made no clear sense; he quickly ignored it and shouted, “FIRE!”

The small cannons roared without fail, punting their ammunition into the hull of the enemy ship. Blackeye turned the Fortune for another pass as a bizarre sound drowned out all others. The air around the struck vessel began to shatter like heated glass and explode into a shower of what could only be called dark light. When the paradoxical cloud of non-light faded, beneath it was the rotted remains of a sailing ship. The wood was black and soaked, massive gaps filled with wriggling tangible darkness dotted the whole structure, and the sails were a tattered and stained mess of red cloth with a barely visible sickle of silver across their surface. On deck, the once barely visible figures of sailors became clear. To those aboard the Fortune there was no doubt, before them was a ghost ship, crewed by the dead.

The visibly damaged, waterlogged, and slightly bloated corpses of Icthyite sailors shuffled aboard the now exposed enemy ship, still working their stations long after life had left them. Rozzi could almost make out the sounds of their gurgling, raspy voices shouting out the Fortune’s position to whoever captained the ship.

The captain snorted scoffingly. “Isto the Red’s fleet… Back from the abyss. I’LL BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU ROTTING SCOUNDRELS BACK TO IT! WALTER, CANI, BACK ON DECK, CANNONS ARE NO GOOD HERE!”

The two other ships in the enemy flotilla dropped their illusions with as much fanfare as the first, repositioning themselves to assail the Fortune. As the ships turned, a figure was revealed on the largest of the three, positioned in the middle of the formation. Standing on the very end of the ship’s spar was the Ragged Rogue, his sickening and muffled laugh somehow crossing the distance. Rozzi grit her teeth to force down the feelings of panic that jolted up her spine, driving her mind to focus on the now and not her prior encounter with the otherworldly monster. As she did, she noticed something out of place.

The Rogue seemed larger somehow, and less patchwork. She wondered if it meant he was stronger than he’d been, and if so, were all of Kota’s Generals growing in strength?

Wally and Hector arrived on the deck just as the opposing flotilla had adjusted course.

“So its Ghost Ships now…” growled Hector.

“Aye, not my first either.” replied Blackeye who’d turned to face them. His attention quickly focused on Wally, who’d brought a barrel filled with cannon balls with him. “What’s that all for?”

“Well, I had a thought. Since we can enchant our weapons with magic, I wondered if one could do that with anything, in this case the cannons. Hector said yes, but there were two problems, One I’d only be enchanting the cannon, not the balls themselves, and two the more you use a weapon the more of your magic it can handle.” Wally set the barrel down with a considerable thud. “So I wouldn’t be able to enchant the cannon balls as much as the Flare. Therefore we make up for power with numbers!”

It was then Blackeye realized that Wally had easily carried a barrel full of cannon balls up from the gun deck without a drop of exhaustion or strain to show for it. “Just… how d’ya plan on doin’ that?”

Wally easily scooped up two cannon balls, one to each hand, and hopped up on the ship’s railing. Using his tail to keep himself steady against the rolling of the waves, he carefully gauged the distance between the leading ship and himself, and reared back his right arm. The ball was then engulfed in bright magical flame, gleaming like it’d just come from a blacksmith’s furnace. Wally then pitched it as hard as he could, striking the enemy ship across the bow with a powerful explosion of fire, shaking the entire ship from stem to stern.

“BY THE EASTERN GALES!” Blackeye watched in awe as the mystic fire danced across the old and seawater drenched wood of the ghost ship, spreading unimpeded until the waves coming off the keel doused them. “You pitched that faster than any cannon I ever seen! How in the world d’ya pack that much power in such a small body?”

Wally shrugged as he tossed the other cannon ball to his right hand and pitched it, blowing another burning hole in the nearest ship.

The captain laughed triumphantly. “RIGHT! Mister Walter to the foredeck! The rest of ya cover ‘im! WE’RE TAKIN’ THESE LOT HEAD ON!” He steered the ship hard to port to take them back toward the flotilla.

Wally hopped down, hefted the barrel and rushed to his place flanked by Hector, Wistea and Rozzi when he finally caught sight of the Rogue. Without a second thought he plopped the barrel down, picked up another ball and pitched it directly at the rag monster only to see the ball cleaved to pieces mid-flight, falling to the sides of the targeted vessel. Daylight glimmering on their narrow surfaces revealed the cause, thin snaking threads from the Rogue’s body.

“Of course,” muttered Wally angrily before a flash of inspiration overrode his frustration. “Rozzi! Come here, I have an idea.” Rozzi approached as he held up a cannon ball. “Now see if you can put your magic in while I do…”

Rozzi’s smile was almost devious as she happily placed her hand atop the ball. The sensation was an odd one as their magics intermingled within the heavy mass of iron, causing it to vibrate slightly. Briefly the two of them felt as if their hearts were somehow seated next to each other in their chest. Instead of mystic flames, what coated the ball was more of a halo of bright light that flickered like candle light over its surface. Wally pitched it at Kota’s General where, in mid-flight, it exploded into the form of a whirling tornado of flames that wildly veered off course and bashed into the vessel left of its intended target.

However, the force of the blast was enough to blow the keel clean off the ship. Dark tendrils desperately grasped at splintering, burning wood as seawater rushed in and began to drag the damaged ship back down to where it belonged.

The Rogue reached his hand out to the sinking vessel and the barely visible threads from his body yanked up several decaying sailors and flung them like violent marionettes at the Fortune.

“POLLY! JUMP DOWN!” Shouted Blackeye.

The young Icthyite girl quickly dove from the crow’s nest just as a strung along carcass crashed into it and shook the foremast. The captain caught her easily, setting her down on her feet. “Stay by me sunshine, things are gettin’ ugly.”

She nodded and gripped the hilt of her small dagger as she watched the other corpses slap hard onto the deck and railings. The undead sailors moved slowly at first, their rotten muscles yanking on the bones they barely held as they sloshed about in search of targets.

Immediately, Wistea whipped one off the ships railing before it could climb up, the sound of her vine striking it down almost a cue for all the others to mobilize. Wally kept throwing cannon balls at the flotilla, hoping to prevent the two remaining ships from firing anything else as Hector, Rozzi and Wistea moved to block for him. Hector parted one of the ghastly assailants clean down the middle, sparks racing out from where he struck, only to have both halves topple to the ground while still grabbing and flailing at him. “DAMN! Cutting them doesn’t work! Improvise!”

Rozzi smirked. “I got an idea! Wistea, can you try and herd them together?”

“Umm… OH! Yes! I can!” Wistea tapped her hand to the deck, a flash of green light sliding outward from her touch, followed by rapid shoots of bamboo instantly growing at bizarre angles, slamming into the befouled sailors and forcing them to cluster.

Rozzi quickly took up some spare rope from the deck and dashed around the amassed undead, wrapping it around them tightly before she handed the far end to Wally. “Flick of the wrist if you wouldn’t mind, dear.”

Wally looked at the rope and the struggling monstrosities before easily understanding her plan. Taking up as much of the slack as he could around his forearm, he dragged them off their rotting feet and into a spin. The disgusting mass rotated faster and faster over their heads before, with the suggested wrist flick, Wally flung the whole decomposing mess off into the mast of the second enemy ship, demolishing it and part of its deck as well.

Any possible celebration at the minor victories thus far faded from thought as the Ragged Rogue began to laugh once more. The sickly unnerving sound drew everyone’s attention, toward the general, still on his perch. “FLAREBEARER! I SEE YOU’RE FINALLY LIVING UP TO THE TITLE! WHICH IS WHY WE WILL SHOW YOU NO QUARTER!”

Everyone readied themselves for whatever could come, but it was Captain Blackeye to make the first move, slashing his harpoon in the direction of the ship’s aft, summoning a wall of water to block an almost unexpected barrage of cannon fire, two shots were stopped dead by the mystically aided water but a third slipped past and rocketed toward the deck where Wally leapt up to intercept, hooking his foot around it and kicking it away from the ship.

From behind the wall of water three more ghost ships appeared, approaching the battle rapidly.

Blackeye growled quietly, he hated running from a fight, but he could always see one he couldn’t win without losing more than he’d like. “MISTER WALTER!” He waved Wally in close and spoke quietly. “Whip us a distraction if y’can, we’re leavin’ in a big hurry.”

Wally nodded and spread the word quietly to everyone else who moved into position. The wallaby himself stood in the center of the deck and drew the Stellar Flare. “… Right, this should work…” He held the sword high above his head and took a deep breath. “EIGHT GODS INTO ONE MOMENT, FROM MY SOUL INTO THE WORLD! DRAGON’S CALDERA!”

From the blade sprung a spire of fire that rose into the air above the God’s Fortune and blossomed outward like an infernal fountain, cascading around the ship to flash boil the seawater beneath it creating a rapidly expanding fog of steam.

There was the sound of cannon fire, and old ships creaking before a piercing whistle and a rapidly accelerating God’s Fortune raced out of the handmade cloud, rocketing away from the deadly melee.

The Ragged Rogue shouted, “YOU USELESS UNDEAD SCUM! TURN THE SHIP! GET US OUT OF THIS FOG!”

The ships all groaned, creaked and shuddered violently, from what the Rogue could see of the other ships; they all seemed to be locked in place. As the fog lifted the reason was made clear. Dense ice had formed around their hulls, adding stress and weight to the already barely held together wrecks and locking their rudders.

A voice behind the Rogue spoke up. “It appears, my General, that Cofresi hasn’t lost a step, even at seventy-two.”

“BAH! MISERABLE OLD FISH! Ah… But I best control my temper. This can work for us, with them sailing to whatever safe spots they have, we can return to our mission. Now get us moving before I get bored, Isto!”

“As you wish, General.”

---

The God’s Fortune sailed until nightfall with all hands on deck, every set of eyes watching the horizon for any pursuers. Finally a large waterlogged cave provided the cover they sought to anchor down for the night. Once there, everyone was ready simply sit and rest out the stress of the day, but Wistea called Wally and Rozzi aside. She sat them down across from one another on deck. “Now, please hold hands.”

The two shared a speculative look before both shrugged and did as she asked.

“Now, channel magic like you would to enchant your weapons.”

They both looked down at their hands briefly with a bit of concern before looking up.

“Count of three?” Wally said.

“On three.” Rozzi answered.

They both silently counted as tiny jets of wind and wisp of flame danced down their arms. Slowly, the space between them filled with the same white light they’d created earlier that day. It was small, and flickering, and once again it felt as if, somehow, their hearts were beating alongside one another’s before the feeling quickly fated and the small light banished in a tiny tumult of wind and fire.

Wistea crossed her arms and hummed thoughtfully. “It is a start… The Wind and Fire attributes relate positively on the Wheel of Creation, so the two of you should be able to produce a stable unified result with some work. Maybe with a bit of practice…”

“Maybe they should kiss!” Shouted Polly from her seat on a barrel a few feet away.

Wistea yelled back over her shoulder. “Y-young lady! T-this is a very serious matter! Please do not disrupt it!”

“Huh, I was right; her leaves totally go darker when she’s embarrassed.” Rozzi said casually.

Turning back to the two of them she stomped a foot in frustration. “R-Rozzi! Please take this seriously, if you and Wally can combine your magic, it may give us a considerable advantage against that ghastly fleet out there.”

“Not tonight,” Captain Blackeye said as he finished inspecting the foremast for damage. “Need us all up bright and early, so we’re beddin’ down now. Mister Walter you’re on first watch so you sleep most of the night after your shift.

Wistea sighed. “I… Suppose we will pick this up tomorrow then.”

As everyone else set to leave, Wally began to stand when he realized Rozzi was still holding his hands.

Wally readied himself for more playful derision and teasing when he saw that Rozzi’s expression was one he hadn’t seen before. It was so outside her normal range that he could hardly recognize it as shyness.

“Wally… Did you… I mean, when we tried this did it feel like, I dunno… Our hearts were like, right next to each other?”

He nodded slowly. “Happened again just now, so I guess that’s supposed to happen.”

“Oh! Good, not just me then! That makes me feel a little better.”

Wally cocked his head to the side curiously.

“Okay so maybe, JUST maybe. I thought very briefly that… I dunno… I was holding you back.” Wally was about to say something when she continued. “I mean, you’re Mister Magical Destiny n’ you’re carryin’ around a literal gift from the gods and I’m just…”

“Someone who’s helped save my life more than a few times? Rozzi… Where’s this coming from?”

“I know, I know, it’s silly, but… It was there and if I didn’t say somethin’ it’d’ve just festered, y’know?”

Wally nodded again and held her hands a little tighter. “Let’s try it one more time before bed, eh?”

Rozzi took a moment to steady herself and nodded when she was ready.

As their hearts came into sync once more, the bright halo of light flickered into being once more before them. The two chose a single point within the light to focus the energy before finally, with a kaleidoscopic flash of light, a small whirlwind of bright orange flame danced in the air between them before flitting out of existence.

Overcome, Rozzi sprang forward and hugged Wally tightly, laughing happily.

Wally happily hugged her back. “There see? I knew we could do it!” He waited a few moments until she pulled away, except she didn’t. “Um… Rozzi…”

“Not done yet,” she replied.

Wally, if reluctantly, let her take the time she needed.

A minute or so later she spoke up. “You know I could just fall asleep like this.”

“Rozzi.”

“… Carry me?”

“Rozzi!”

“Alright!” She giggled and pulled herself away. “But I’m expecting double next time.”

“… What on Mondia do you mean by ‘double’?”

Rozzi smiled coyly and winked before walking away, humming happily as she went.

Wally sighed and shook his head, a clear smile on his face as he headed up to the foredeck to begin his watch. He began to idly play with the knoka nut bracelet his sister had given him before leaving home, silently relishing in the respite of the night, knowing moments of calm would become sparser as time went on.
