With a Touch of Fairy Dust

Pokemon: (Dachsbun, Grandbull, Gardevoir)

Gender neutral reader

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

*Click, Clack, Click, Clack*

The sounds that emanated from your keyboard as your fingers hit the keys. The only other noise that washed over the room were the sounds of gentle snoring coming from your Darling Dachsbun and Granbull respectively. They were Sleeping away peacefully for a gentle afternoon nap, in pink and goldilocks yellow beds besides your desk. Your Gardevoir was busy tending to simple house chores, that you never forced her to do, but rather she enjoyed doing them anyways. She would occasionally walk back into your shared lab to check up on you. Who's space were you sharing? Why Colress your lab partner and actual partner of course!

What used to be an even split down the middle soon become blurred lines as he encroached on your space and you encroached on his. Not that either of you took issue with it as it was only natural that after several years of living together you'd eventually merge together.

Stopping for a brief moment the soft silence brought about a gentle peace. As your eyes wandered around the room, they landed on one particular baby blue pen with a fuzzy PomPom end. Its ink has long since been used up and if it was yours you would have thrown it away yet here it was still sitting at the edge of Colress's desk. The first ever gift you gave to him.

It was several years ago when you first met your partner Colress. Stepping off the plane of Castelia Cities airport, one taxi ride later and you were one of thousands of other researchers, scientists, and professors alike attending the largest science confrence in the world in the heart of the Unova region. That year attendance shot up as it was the first year that fairy type Pokemon would be seen within these conference halls. Even the local news picked up this monumental opportunity that brought along the common folk who grabbed tickets just so they could see these newer Pokemon. It was admittedly a smaller research group that wasn't exactly expecting all the fan fair. Though who was there to guide the way and keep the team together, why none other than yourself and darling Pokemon Grandbull. Being a graduate from Kalos and having worked under Professor Sycamore you were given the golden opportunity to represent him and a few other researchers at that years conference as he was off to Hoenn to continue his study on Mega Evolution.

Standing before the crowd, despite the endless stream of chatter that filled the halls, your panel room was waiting in silence to see what these new Pokemon had to offer.

Tapping the microphone you finally addressed the crowd in the same bubbly sing songy esc voice you always had when talking to others.

(Y/N): "Goooood Morning everybody!! Oh we are so excited to be here today!! Thank you for stopping by, you have no idea how much it means for us to see your happy faces! As you all know my team and I have something very special to show you"

Gentle whispers have entered the room. Some excitement, some annoyed at your peppy attitude at this early in the morning, some with bewilderment. Hell some people began making subtle jabs at your appearance. Damn, and you thought a blush pink pant suit, with a cream colored matching blouse and lab coat was a major downgrade to your normal attire. Back home you'd be rocking the whole pastel rainbow with fuzzy leg and arm warmers, a whole accessories department work of hair clips and necklace and colorful mary janes. None the less you took everyones breif moment of chatter as an opportunity to grab their attention.

(Y/N): "Alrighty everybody I know how hard it can be for some of us to be fresh and bright this early in the morning. Some of us haven't even had our coffee yet." That small comment brought a few chuckles from the crowd. "So without further ado I want to introduce to you my darling GiGi!!"

Tossing your pokeball out popped your first ever partner, GiGi your granbull.

Dead silence. The crowd gazed at your Pokemon with intense eyes before one small voice shattered the silence.

Little Child: "But . . That's not a Fairy . ."

Another Stern whisper, you assume the childs mother, spoke to scold the kid. "Charlie!! Keep your mouth shut!!"

Little Child: "But its trueeee!!" The child whined.

Despite the embarrassment this brought some much needed laughter in the crowd. With a smile on your face and a gentle voice, you addressed the child.

(Y/N): "Quite to observant one! Charlie was it? What you have been taught before, and what many people believe still, is that the Pokemon you know as Granbull is a normal type correct?" The child happily nods along. "Well what if I told you that the information has changed? For years these wonderful researchers behind me have been trying to discover Fairy type properties in Pokemon and what if I told you that those properties can exist in older Pokemon."

Looking back at GiGi, happily waiting for your signal, you announce.

(Y/N): "GiGi use dazzling gleam!"

GiGi lept above the crowd and fired off and dazzling gleam that lit up the room showering everyone with sparkles and twinkles of light.

In that moment the eyes of every person in that room lit up like the sparkles above them. The eyes bathed in the glowing twinkles as your own eyes gazed upon a room overcome with wonder. These were the moments you lived for and to be here standing before this crowd brought to you a tsunami of joy. As the conference treked onto its last day, you got to talk with so many new people and old friends. Learning about new gadgets and gizmos that other researchers were working on. The other big talk at that conference was about your boss Sycamore and how he was fairing in his research into Mega Evolution. Beyond that you felt comfortable, relaxed hell one could even say you were at home here.

As the chatter and conversations came to an end. As you sent off your research team and promised to meet them back at the hotel after you wanted to tour the city, the loveliest of voices called out to you. A gentle "Excuse me" that grabbed your attention as you turned your head towards were the voice came from. There before you stood a man much taller than your own body. Blonde hair with a blur cowlick that swirled around acting much like the ribbons you donned on your own body. His eyes still shone bright yellow despite his pale white skin.

Colress: "Sorry to interrupt. It's just that I find that with less people to bother you I can talk to you with less distractions. My name is Colress." He spoke out to you, his voice smooth and inviting. "And I've been meaning to ask you about your research with Fairy Type Pokemon. I believe your knowledge will help me a great deal with my own research that is if you're willing to share."

Standing still your fixation on this man created child like feelings that resonated throughout your body. No, this was not love at first sight no matter how romantic it could be if it were true. Though you'd be lying if you said you didn't find him attractive. It was almost embarrassing how long it took you to respond. Something that Colress noted yet did not share aloud. A blush pink almost as bright as the outfit you were wearing rushed to your face.

(Y/N):. . "oh . uh . Yeah! . .Sure I don't mind. . I hope I'm not troubling you or anything. ."

Colress however did laugh at your flushed appearance. Not in a way that was ment to embarrass you further yet rather just at how strange you were behaving. This isn't the first time Colress has "met" you. That is to say he was one of those crowd members who became hooked on your enthusiasm and your philanthropy to excite a crowd so early in the morning. Though for Colress this performance became much more than simple intrigue when he started focusing less on the Granbull and more on you. Seeing you now as a person in front of him, someone who talks and breaths the same as he does, your blushing face and all made him want to research not just your Pokemon but you as well. Who are you with the person dressed in pinks and why was he so eager to learn more?

Chatting with this stranger, that you now love as your partner. The two of you on that day, talked for so long about Fairy Types and his own research that the convention heads had to kick the two of you out were you both continued your conversation walking around the city. You learned so much about Colress's research and he learned a great deal from you as well that by the time the two of you needed to part ways, you began to wonder if you would ever find a connection with someone like this again. Reaching the hotel you were staying at you found it hard to move your feet up those steps.

Colress: "Wait! . .Before we go our separate ways can I have your number?"

Stopping in your tracks you weren't expecting him to even want to keep chatting. You were for sure convinced he had wrung each drop of information out of you, but the thought of him still wanting to talk set your heart ablaze as a mad blush formed on your face. You almost drowned out his voice as he called to your attention once more.

Colress: ". . Perhaps email is more efficient for you? Here let me just . .*Colress began to pat up and down his body. His fingers gliding over his lab coat pockets though* . . hmm . . no . . *Observing each pocket his face turns with small frustration* . . ack . .of course when I need one most, none are on me."

Glancing over you notice his predicament as a small smile forms on your face. Turning back to him you take one of his hands and place a small baby blue pen with a fuzzy PomPom on top, into his grasp.

(Y/N): "Here. . . um *You turn around to avoid him seeing your blush* . . uh . .my phone number is (xxx)xxx-xxxx and my email is [email protected]."

And before Colress could tell you his own information, you were already running back inside the hotel. It was only until 3 a.m. that night, just before you had to get yourself ready for your plane ride back home did you get an email from one [email protected].

[@[email protected]]: Hello! Am I speaking with [Y/N]? You left in such a rush I was hoping I wrote the email down in time.

And there it was again. The racing of your heartbeat. Should your respond professionally? He didn't sound stern when you were talking. But talking and emailing are quite different things!! Should you email him like a coworker? A friend? No! Be yourself! If they don't like the you that you are now they won't like it in the future. But even still . . .what should you say?

As small shaking fingers type out, delete, then type again, you do this dance with they keys until you finally have the courage to respond.

[@[email protected]] hello! You are correct this is [Y/N]!

*Send*

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

It would be another year before you got to see Colress again. And during that time you weren't sure if he would even remember your face. Although the initial emails were splendid and he didn't seem to be bothered by your lackadaisical responses that used a heavy hand of emojis and funny gifs. Eventually the emails became few and far between. You both were busy with your own lives that the last time you emailed each other was two months before the conference. Sure he ended his email promising to come see you again but would that be true? Only today would tell as you made your way back into the conference building.

You were blessed with an opportunity months prior to head to Paldea to research the Properties of Fairy Type terrestrialization in the Paldea region. This was were you acquired you second lucky companion Dolly the Dachsbun. You'd hoped that having another Canine Pokemon to accompany GiGi would make researching them a lot easier. And truth be told it was! They have become unseparable though you would find that this terrestrialization was far beyond you or even Sycamores research capabilities and so you were requested to come back to Kalos to help focus on Mega evolution were your duo become a trio with a gifted Ralts named Fleur. This team of three would be your companions for this years conference. Your old team of researchers either stayed behind to help Sycamore or were off making discoveries of their own. This ment that your presence at the conference would be allocated to one panel today with a local Unovan Teacher who you heard was researching Terrestrialization and you offered to show off your Dachsbun.

Finding yourself in front of a map of the conference building your panel with Teacher Briar, wouldn't be for another four hours but it wouldn't hurt to start familiarizing yourself with this years layout. As your eyes scanned the map you started reading the names of the other panels "Magnetic Forces ft. The steel squad", "Lava Plumes and the effects of fire type Pokemon with guest speaker Dr. Haze", "Bugs and how they make the world go round featuring Dr. Flora and her research team." and on and on and on you read scanning each and every name thrice over. Not one said Colress. . . Colress, oh Colress.

Even though your time with him was short and your conversations had scattered to the wind your heart still beat whenever you remembered his name. You thought about him every day. What he was up to. Where he was now and how his research was going. You would wonder if he ever thought of you and then thats when your heart would break. Maybe it was just meant to be that the two of you didn't speak anymore. What would you even say? Would he even be interested anymore? Is he even here at the conference??? Sensing your unease GiGi did her best to try and comfort you by rubbing her head against your side. It was then did you feel a different tap to your side, how you turned your head to see who was trying to grab your attention, did your blushing face come back to haunt you.

(Y/N): " . . .C . . Colress??!?" *You said with a shout that caused the other people around you to stop and stare at your outburst.

Only after realizing that you were just excitingly greeting someone did they go back to their own duties. Though more importantly was that here he was, Colress was back at this conference and he hadn't forgotten about you either.

Colress: *Laughing at your flushed appearance*. . Well thats a first! I did say I was going to see you again now didn't I? I'm glad to see you are still the same (Y/N)."

You were wearing light pink cargo pants with each pocket filled with kawaii themed stationary that you mentally insisted was "just for emergencies". A light green and white striped shirt underneath your creme lab coat. The only thing that you wore that made you stand out was a matching light pink floppy sun hat with a frilly bow on its side.

Walking up to Colress you wanted to reach out and hold him. Grab his hand and feel it. Feel if it was real but before your emotions could take over your mind, your eyes noticed a familiar fuzzy blue pen sitting in his lab coat pocket.

(Y/N): "My pen! . . "

Colress: "Oh . . Yes! That, it has been very useful I've been meaning to thank y. ."

(Y/N): "So you do still remember . ."

It was Colress who became the blushing fool this time. How was something as trivial as pen able to cause your face to turn beat red as your eyes stared into his own with a longing gaze? This was what he was missing. . .

Trying to calm down his blush Colress faked a cough as he went to readjust his glasses.

Colress: " . .ahh! . uh . why yes . .like I was getting at I wanted to thank you for . . gifting me the pen. . I've been putting it to good use. And . . of course. . uh . . I wouldn't want to forget you."

As he noticed your own face becoming even more red he was quick on his feet to try and move the conversation into a different direction less both of you continue standing here sharing blushing faces.

Colress: "Ah! Why . why don't we uh continue this conversation somewhere else. Before your panel . . we could grab something to eat."

Nodding along you allowed for Colress to take the lead as he grabbed your wrist to guide you through the crowd of people towards the food court. It was with each step that eventually his own hand made its way to wrap around your fingers and next thing you knew you were holding hands with Colress.

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

After the wonderful lunch and an even better panel, the two of you continued your conversation discussing a great deal about how both of you have been and how each others research was going. What started off as informational soon turned personal and eventually the conversation was no longer about research.

Colress: "So your planning on moving out here, to Unova."

(Y/N): "Yes . . I am very excited . . ever since Sycamore gave me permission to study Audinos I've been excitingly waiting for the day I could study them out here. He suspects that Audinos who mega evolve out here will start attracting other fairy types to this region. . .he wants me to set up a place here for fairy type research."

Colress: "Well that sounds wonderful! I couldn't think of anyone else more suitable for this position. . ."

(Y/N): "But that isn't the only reason I'm here"

Colress: "Oh?"

(Y/N): "To be honest . . I've been meaning to come back to Unova for a while. Ever since I've been going to these conferences I've always wanted to move out here . . . I guess I was just waiting for the perfect excuse to do so. This might sound cheesy but I've never lived in such a big city before. . . all the lights and people seem fun! Oh and I'm sure all the small towns here are perfect as well . .but uh . I . I'm not sure."

Colress: "I could help! Be your guide and all. . if that's what you were trying to sneakily get at. *he says in a somewhat teasing tone*

(Y/N): "You would do that for me? . .and . hey! I wasn't trying to be sneaky *You say with a pout that brings a smile to Colress's face"

Colress: "Haha Oh sure let's just agree to disagree then. . .hmm . but of course I'd help you. One researcher to the other. *He says while holding his hand out to yours*

(Y/N): *Blushing you grab his hand back*. Mhm yes. . One researcher to the other.

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

And that was the start of everything. That moment was what led you to so many wonderful years with Colress. That simple opportunity became all that you are and all that you have today. From strangers, to research partners, to lovers.

Colress's world expanded the moment you said your first "I love you to him" and you felt the same. Each day was a discovery both with Pokemon and each other. Colress remained much of the same person, except he kept up with his health more especially after you would scold him to go to bed at a proper time and insisted he eat fast food less. You brought your own personality of course with your lab equipment colored the same shades of pinks and blues as your outfits. Fuzzy notepads, rainbow pencils and cute Pokemon stickers started lacing Colress's notes as well. But it was charming to him how much color you brought into his life. Not to mention how despite type differences your Pokemon became friends with his own. His Beheeyem was most fond of your now fully evolved Gardevoir, and your Grandbull and Dachsbun found joy in playing with his PorygonZ and Klinklang.

Fuzzy snorlax slippers next to his black ones graced the bedside. A Horsea shaped mug next to a mug of his own that reads "science rulez!!" that you bought for him. Cute photos of each others Pokemon you framed and tacked onto his cork board that intermingled with his notes. All this and so much more became a part of his norm that he simply couldn't imagine himself living a life without it. And of course there you were sitting at your desk staring off into space, the best gift of all.

Watching you become a stronger trainer has brought Colress endless amounts of joy. Your presence as a fairy specialist brought about trainers the likes of which Colress would have never seen had he continued researching on his own. Trainers would make arrangements in their journey to come battle Unova's one and only fairy type specialist and watching how you and your team worked hard each and every day to win made Colress fall in love with you over and over again. You were his sweetheart, the sweetest of them all.

Colress: "My love."

He called out to you as he leaned in to kiss you on your temple. Bringing you back to the present, you turned to face the skitty shaped clock on the wall. 3:50 p.m.

Colress: "Seems we have some guests today. I could turn them away if you're busy. .

(Y/N): "No that's alright my darling. *You lean in to kiss him on the lips, a thin layer of pink lipstick staying behind on his mouth* Let's have some fun again today! *With the help of Colress you get up from your seat and usher your Pokemon to follow*

Walking towards the door the sunlight peaks in ever so gently through the curtains of your shared home. As your Pokemon run towards the front of the house, and even Colress's Pokemon too. Both of you walk in tandem, your hands interlocked with each others.

(Y/N): "I love you Colress . ." *your words gently falling feom your lips*

Colress: *smiling* "and I love you too (Y/N). . ." *He leans in once more to kiss you on the cheek*

If I write fanfic for dungeon meshi I’m gonna start with writing about the demon cause I loooooooove cosmic horror and the way the demon was set up in the story is still giving me brainworms a couple hours after finishing the manga.

Honestly that element reminds me a lot of FMA, I think there are some pretty clear influences there, but tbh the winged lion in dunmeshi is a more compelling character than the dwarf in the flask.

AND the integration of dnd style planar stuff was so fucking goooood.

Like the moment I got to this bit I was like ‘Oh Fuck This Rules this is how you do a demon deal!’

And then the other little hints towards its nature had me !!!!!!

I already mentioned this panel in a post but I’ll do it again cause it’s fucking breathtaking

And these bits are gonna live in my mind forever now, SO fucking goooood

But what’s most intriguing is the backstory chapter for the demon like!!! Going from

To being like, the origin of magic and of the variation in humanoid races??? And worshipped as presumably many separate gods??? And then being sealed away at some point, somehow, cut off from the whole of the planet and confined to the saddest little pocket dimension of all time while the society driven by its influence collapses???????

AND THEN FINALLY this comment from the elves?????????????

GOD the worldbuilding in dunmeshi is making me crazy holy shit.

#dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi manga spoilers #the winged lion #dunmeshi liveblog #technically I finished it earlier but I’m gonna put it in that tag anyway cause I’m still thinking thoughts #caitie speaks #long post #once again no idea I will add them after I eat

how different are the Archie turtles from the 87 ones? I haven’t read Archie and really don’t want to

Fairly different, I'd say.

Spoilers for archie for those who care. Wouldn't rec reading it tho

Most obvious case is Raphael, because Mikey and Leo don't really do anything.

He's like an odd mix of the more classic, angrier Raphs and 87's flamboyant, sarcastic Raph.

He likes fighting, but I think it might be a release of some sort because he can't lash out at the things he's actually mad about: his life/situation. He is very pessimistic about his place in the world, and if Archie was written by more competent writers it could've been SOO GOOOOOD

When he first got with Ninjara during the weird Hiroshima arc, he literally almost got sucked into Hell because of whatever negative thoughts were swirling around in his noggin. Like... are we not going to elaborate on that?? He actually gets trapped in Hell later on after Ninjara doxxed him, and I thought they were gonna bring up whatever's wrong with him because you needed a pure mind to get out of Hell... and they didn't. Ninjara apologized for doxxing him and he apologized for being a lil bitch and they escaped wahoo. (5 panels btw)

(Side note: they made Splinter a survivor of Hiroshima in these comics btw. I'm so glad I pirated these things... also the comics take place in the late 90s so Archie Splinter is like 60-80yro btw. I do NOT blame any1 for not wanting to read these 77 issues of nonsense HELP)

Raphael gets the most interesting character interactions/arcs imo, likely because he is clearly someone's fave.

Also he roughouses with his bros a lot more in Archie. And he wears a stipid as hell black latex stealth suit for like 30 issues iirc.

Mikey gets kidnapped by the American army once and that's the most important thing he does. I guess he still has his surfer accent, but he's just there in the BG for the most part. Least problematic character in Archie.

Leonardo doesn't really do anything, as I've said earlier. He likes talking about how much he hates guns. He's also a lot more serious and doesn't really have any discernable quirks (besides the gun thing)

He is very much a standard Leonardo boiled down to the basics. Ie: older brother, leader, protective, composed, serious... Boring. He's boring. He doesn't have the quirks or charm that 87 Leo has imo.

While 87 Leonardo is a pretty flat character, due to how the 87 series is written in general, he has a very caring, sincere personality and expressive interests shown throughout the show that adds to his charm. And he doesn't have that in Archie.

Archie Donatello... is more like 03 Donatello from what I've seen. I haven't seen the entirety of 03, but from what I've seen from clips, 03 Don is a lot more... calm? Compared to other Donnies?

Also haven't read the Mirage comics, and I've heard nothing about Mirage Donatello so I dunno how he is compared to the og

But yeah, he rambles about smart stuff but he isn't all that loud about it. "Tbf you need a very high IQ to understand the difference between physics and AP physics" -- Archie Don doesnt talk like that, god bless.

But also he invented time travel in the future, and that lead to like one single good arc, the mutanimals dying brutally, and the convoluted finale that revealed it was all a timeloop or smth... so yeah I have beef towards him for that one. His future self is p cool though, he also dies.

Part three, back wall, floor, ceiling!!

Cardstock! I didn't wanna make the floor too breakable, so I decided just to recreate it by my usual trade-- drawing and coloring with marker.

I cut it up into panels for a little dimension between them.

Lighting test... LOOKIN GOOOOOD

For reference, what I referenced.

The back panel I also didn't want dimension in-- things were supposed to be flat against it and I didn't want any texture to interfere. SO! Marker it was. This panel wasn't attached-- more card stock. I just slid it in for photos lol.

This is the wall I referenced.

Wash one...

And wash two. I ended up putting a liiiiiiiiiittle bit of gold in my washes, just to make stuff sparkle for no reason. The tan hue I also liked.

I knew I wanted to make the window a particular shape:

I really liked this window (and the wall, too). I couldn't feasibly make it bend towards the ceiling, but I wanted to make it a little dimensional (I'll get to that part later).

The ceiling and floor were pretty much done in the same way.

The first wood beam! Just a chunk of pine bordered with popsicle stick wood, all painted and the dark lines are marker coloring. I love rendering wood texture.

☝ Like this!

To be continued~~~✨

Oke I just saw some panels from the Manga Vampire Knight, and yes you can debate if you liked it or not bla bla, but what I want to talk about is how GOOD Matsuri Hino expressed intimacy. Like you see a lot of physical contact but it never really feels sexual, but still really deep. Especially the way she draws hands and just uses hands a lot to express the characters ahhhh

HAAAAAAANDS MYYYY GOOOOOD MATSURIIIIIII

I am weak

Top 5 David Tennant characters!

Oh man!!!! This is a good one.

Ok, to no one’s surprise, Number One for me HAS to be the 10th Doctor. It’s what unleashed him on the world, we fell in love with the adorkable spiky haired slightly manic alien in the suit, I mean I don’t really have to say a whole lot do I? Just look at this face

Number Two: Crowley in Good Omens

Another kind of no brainer. There’s the sexy sneke walk, the clothes, the pining, god it’s just so goooood. Plus he and Michael have AMAZING chemistry. And there’s this fucking scene. We all won when he decided to do this

Number Three: James Arber in The Decoy Bride

It’s an adorable rom com up in Scotland, the chemistry between him and Kelly Macdonald is great and the final kiss is so sweet. The whole movie just leaves you with a giant smile on your face.

Number 4: Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing

Omg soooo funny. We already knew he and Catherine Tate were hilarious together and this production absolutely proves it. The paint scene has me rolling on the floor every time.

Number Five: Kilgrave from Jessica Jones.

SO. FUCKING. CREEPY. So creepy!! Talk about range!! I thought the first season of JJ was much better than the second and that in no small part had to do with his acting and presence in the show.

Honorable mentions for all the panel shows he’s done (like the Friday Night Project, QI, Never Mind the Buzzcocks) and the Ghost of Christmas Present in the Catherine Tate Show Xmas Special. I’m still convinced some of Crowley’s outfits were inspired by this one.

ALSO THE BEST COMIC RELIEF SKIT OF ALL TIME bahajaha told you he and Catherine were comic geniuses

Ask me Top 5/Top 10 of anything!

#ask games #ask games for ts #anon #anonymous #thanks for stopping by!!#this was fun!#also broadchurch isn’t on here cause I haven’t watched it #I know I’m a bad fan : (#david tennant

MTMTE 44-46

MTMTE 44

I forgot just how many infamously gay panels came from this issue lmfAO thank you Hayato Sakamoto

love how supportive Chromedome is of Rewind, it's real sweet. I also love how Roddy immediately picks up on how Megatron is stalling the quest so he can live a little longer lmAO

oughffj this conversation between Rewind and Minimus is so good...

fgdsjks RODDY AND MEGATRON ARE SO BITCHY TO EACH OTHER it is so funny how uncalled for all these comments are, like okay kids calm down

gooOOOD REWIND AND CHROMEDOME ARE SO IN LOVE IT'S KICKING MY ASS I remember seeing people try to say that Rewind was a bad husband because he's still looking for Dominus and even making Chromedome look for him too, like he cares more about Dominus than Chromedome and is just using Chromedome to help find him and like. Straight up I think that take also stemmed from people just not rereading shit and forgetting the contents of the comic because Rewind could not have made it more clear that he cares immensely about Chromedome's feelings on the subject of Dominus lmfAO it's right fucking there!!! It's RIGHT there he SAYS it even before literally having to choose one or the other, “tell me what to do,” “this affects both of us,” it's like. RIGHT THERE LMFAO

aww Nightbeat don't be mean to Censere just because he's not living proof of the afterlife

it's a little sad watching Rewind be so happy that Dominus isn't confirmed dead when you know exactly where he is

also a little sad watching Nightbeat tell Censere he should try to save those who are flickering but not yet faded when you know how that goes for him

I do still love the panel of Megatron in a sea of blue flowers, love the symbolism, love the imagery. Sure, Megatron's been confronted numerous times by now with the reality of just how much damage he's done but it's gotta hit a little different to visibly see just how many lives he's taken all in one place

MTMTE 45

I am not gonna lie I kinda forgot about the Scavengers lmFAO it's been a minute. Thankfully we've got this recap page of all our favorite moments with them

oh this boy's attention is SO deficit lmAO

love how seriously these idiots are taking their nerf gun fight

on the one hand this moment where Grimlock wets himself has always been hilarious to me, not because of the actual context but simply because the confirmation that the robots can canonically piss is inherently hilarious, but on the other hand I remember there being so much discourse about how this moment's existence was ableist and Misfire is ableist for almost punching Grimlock and James Roberts is ableist for writing Grimlock having an incontinence moment and Misfire almost punching him for it and you're ableist if you don't drop the comic right now and uughjdsfk. My take on it is that I get if it makes you uncomfortable because bodily functions gross, but as someone who's had to help loved ones afflicted with incontinence, it happens, it's not the biggest deal, you get frustrated sometimes because now you have to clean up a big mess, Misfire's reaction was inappropriate but in character, and this wasn't meant to be a comedic moment at Grimlock's expense. In fact, I think Misfire's reaction is what cements that this wasn't meant to be funny, that wasn't a comedic reaction, it was a genuine reaction, and this whole scene's purpose is to showcase just how little control Grimlock currently has of his own facilities. Feel however your heart tells you to feel about it, but I'm not slapping the ableist label on the comic, its author, and everyone who reads it for this one

I hate that this Decepticon dude's stand-up is actually pretty funny lmAO

oof Krok buddy I feel you

“Oh sod off, Fulcrum. We've been walking on eggshells for years! Maybe a good stamp will clear the air!” honestly, this moment just makes me even more sure that I'm right lmAO Misfire's just not the kind of guy who can have enough patience to be delicate about peoples' mental health issues and disabilities at all times and I think it'd be fair if you wanted to slap HIM with the ableist label but I don't think it's an immoral act to write him like this in the first place

and then after all that Misfire slander, he goes and stands up for Grimlock, refusing to trade him for a quick buck. Honestly hell yeah, I love how the Scavengers are good guys at their cores but they aren't above doing some nasty shit for their own personal gain, good-ass characters

HELL YEAH FORT MAX it's so good to see you again lmAO

MTMTE 46

gfdhkjsal I forgot that Red Alert reads off the Scavengers' edited wiki entries... fuckin Pretendia........

“You didn't have to kill him!” yes he did, trust me lmAO

aww Krok... I do like seeing some Decepticons talking about the losses they've suffered at Autobot hands. Like, we've seen plenty of panels of the DJD ripping people to shreds but I like this reminder that the Wreckers can get pretty cruel with taking out Decepticons too

I like how I said all that shit about ableism in the last bit and now we're just. Talking about it lmAO I forgot that Krok comes right out and talks about how the war fucked everyone up but we still stigmatize anyone who can't hide it well enough. Also lol at Misfire saying “Hey, I'm a paragon of sensitivity” after all that shit I typed up about him lmAO

literally everything that people bitched and discoursed about in the previous issue is explicitly addressed in this one lmAO god. But we still had a whole month in between the two so that left plenty of time for people to get stupid about it (remember when I said people never really put full faith in this comic? The previous issue did NOT help, many people were convinced we had officially reached the moment where the comic falls off) and BOY do I remember it, to the point where I felt the need to explain myself in the bit for the previous issue, even. Old habits die hard I guess

gfhdsjk honestly the Scavengers are cute with Fort Max, he doesn't trust them now, and honestly for good reason, he's been through a lot because of Decepticons, but I could imagine them getting along after Lost Light

“Prepare, confront, repel,” I do not at all remember what that means but I remember that it's important, I gotta keep that in mind for later

aww omg I forgot that Fort Max still regularly video chats with Rung, that's so cute

w/c: 0.8k warnings: f! reader, pornstar/cam girl reader, masturbation (f & m), voyeurism? i wrote this in like 30 min i’m so sorry if it’s bad lmao

he'd stumbled across your page accidentally, your sweet face smiling back at him from the thumbnail while he scrolled, a small blinking green icon beneath your name, live! right beside it.

it was unlike him to be intrigued just from that, but he was, drawn in by you, his fingers moving to click your name beneath the the title, met with you nestled between plush pillows and blankets, all kinds of decor surrounding you while you leaned forward in the middle of it.

the first thing katsuki saw was your tongue sticking out in concentration, nimble fingertips fiddling with a plain cardboard box between your legs, armed with a cute penknife to cut the box open with an excited squeal. your eyes were bright, shining with anticipation and excitement.

"it's finally here! ah, look!" you held the smaller box from inside up to your camera, the clear plastic panel in the front showing the silicone toy inside. you continued rambling about it, discarding the plain box out of view from the camera, tearing into the toy's box now, pulling out the rabbit seconds later.

biting your lip, your eyes locked with the camera, looking as if you were staring right at the blond while he shifted in his seat, discarding the second box aside to sit comfortably on your knees. he could finally see what you were wearing, or the lack thereof, a thin cotton top with strings that could hardly count as straps holding it up, and a cute pair of underwear leaving your squishy thighs bare.

explaining a few things about the toy, you showed it off to the camera, your voice tinged with an excited smile, "i'm sure i'm boring you all, let's get started!"

a blond eyebrow quirked, the other joining it in raising to his hairline when you laid back, the pillows looking as if they were swallowing you whole, your limbs splaying as you got comfortable.

katsuki grew hot watching you, the way your eyes lit up when the rabbit came to life with a soft buzz, your eyes already rolling back when you rubbed the tip over your clothed cunt.

"oh shittt, the vibrations are so strong," your voice was soft, your face now far from the microphone, but he still heard your desperation loud and clear, your eyes looking as if a haze had gone over them, fogged over with your need.

face red, katsuki was entranced, eyes tracking your fingers pulling your underwear aside, slipping the rabbit into your soaking cunt, the vibrating ears making you choke on a moan, your voice breaking when you tried to speak again, only a wanton moan escaping you.

"i-it, fuck, it feels so goooood." your breathy voice had katsuki's fingers twitching, his hips adjusting where he sat, the front of the grey sweatpants getting tighter and tighter the more he watched you take the toy in, your thighs already shaking at the intensity after only a moment of having it inside you.

you groaned in time with the blond watching you, his hand wrapping around the base of his cock, sucking in a sharp breath when you adjusted the toy upwards, the soft tip poking at your g-spot, forcing a squeal from your glossy lips.

katsuki couldn't help but squeeze the base of his cock hearing you, desperate to keep your voice even and continue the review, the power of the toy ruining that for you.

"i-i... it... mmm" you'd descended into babbling, your thighs spread far apart as your hips bucked from the bed, eyebrows scrunched and your mouth falling open in a silent moan.

"i'm gon-na cum, oh myyyy godddd!" you squealed once more, katsuki's fist around his cock speeding up as you grew wetter around the toy, lewd sounds echoing in his ears from the computers speaker; your pleasured squeals, the wet sound of the toy fucking in and out of you, and the view full screen in front of him had his breath quickening, red head of his cock getting more and more sensitive.

your praise echoed, your voice higher and breathless, body jerking out of your control the closer you got, your thighs shining with your own slick and a wet spot growing beneath you. throwing his head back, katsuki kept his eyes locked on the screen while you humped the toy with a moan of your own, riding out your orgasm until you were only whimpering, the blond following quickly, his hand growing sticky from precum dripping from the head, wrist twisting just the right way to have him cumming right after you, eyes squeezed shut and teeth biting hard at his bottom lip, a wet patch growing on the front of his pants to match the one beneath your cunt.

you both laid still for a moment, muscles twitching, your fingers desperately reaching for the off button, whimpering at the over stimulation when your fingers slipped from it, biting your lip to muffle another whine when you finally had a reprieve from the intense toy. your body sank further into the pillows, your body too numb to move.

hearing your giggling, katsuki opened an eye to watch you on the computer screen once more, his cock twitching seeing you sit up, hair and eyes wild, still high from your orgasm.

"i think that's my new favourite."

Thank you all for the tags, @ivelovedhimthroughworse, @fatalfangirl, @artsyunderstudy, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, @cutestkilla, @ionlydrinkhotwater, @confused-bi-queer, @palimpsessed, @facewithoutheart, and @moodandmist. You guys are so goooood!

My snippets are long this week, so they're under the cut:

Playing with Fire, Treading Thin Ice

I’m brought out of the reverie I’ve fallen into by an odd crinkling sound. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Simon lifting something to his mouth. He’s acting furtive, moving slowly and carefully, like he doesn’t want me to see. Curious, I watch him from beneath my eyelashes for a few minutes. He repeats the motion that attracted my notice two more times and finally I can’t resist confronting him.

“Simon Snow. Are you eating fucking butter packets?”

He starts, and swings the hand holding his latest victim behind his back. Simon Snow had better never commit an actual crime, because he has no poker face whatsoever. It’s too dark for me to see the colour of his cheeks, but I can smell the blood rushing to them and I’ve been dating him long enough to be able to visualise the way his cheeks are glowing right now, each freckle standing out like dots of inks against the brilliant colour of his skin.

��No?” he says, and I can’t stifle my laugh at what a terrible liar he is.

“You are!” I accuse, still laughing. “What the fuck, Snow? Did you get them mixed up with the after dinner mints?”

Raising Dragons

Is it wrong to be thirsting over your gorgeous husband when your toddler children are running amuck at your feet?

If so, lock me up, because Simon just emerged from our bungalow wearing the tiniest swim trunks imaginable. I am the author of my own troubles, because I bought them for him. He looks like a god.

I corral Ebb from dashing into the surf with one foot while I ogle Simon. He’s long and lean, but powerfully muscled. His bronze curls need cutting; they dip into his eyes in the front. His golden red skin shimmers from the sunscreen lotion I bought him, and his red scales sparkle in the light.

His powerful tail is lifted high like a flag, and the designer sunglasses I bought him for the trip rest neatly in his curls right in front of his curling horns. He looks cool and hot all at once. I’m worried I’m going to get an erection just from looking at him, so I scoop up the triplets and busy myself adjusting their beach rompers.

Simon lopes over to me, a ball of energy as always and grins. “How do I look?” he says.

I give him a smouldering look. I shouldn’t have to be the only one trying to control my baser urges around my hot husband. “I’ll let you know what I think once the kids are in bed tonight,”

Mystery Project

I drag myself into the basement of Pitch Music and take a forlorn look around. Nothing has changed. The same wood paneled walls, the same windowless gloom. Working down here has always felt like being imprisoned in a wooden box. It’s worse now that I thought I’d escaped it.

You might think that I, being the only living heir of the Pitch family, would have a luxurious office. And I could, if I wanted. But a luxurious office comes with the trappings of that position; I’d have to give up music for myself and spend all my time handling the minutia and paperwork that goes with producing other people’s music. My father thinks that’s where I should be, but he’s not a Pitch. Fiona’s in charge, and she mostly lets me do what I want.

New puppy!!!

Alright. So. Last week, I saw a post about Namo having a dog. AND IT BECAME STUCK IN MY HEAD!!! Anyway, I did some research but there is mostly nothing on him, except his name and the fact that he was guarding the place Melkor was locked in.

So, I did what any bored person in class would do, I thought up some headcanons about him!

° He was supposed to serve Irmo, but prefered the quiet of the Halls instead.

° His everyday job mostly consists in gathering lost souls, a bit like a shepherd dog.

° But if you see him on a battle field, this is never a good omen, for it means there will be lots of dead people.

° Like all dogs, scratches behind the ears are very goooood

Anyway, in fanfic there is often references to stained glass panel as decoration, so here is the death puppy on one!!!

#silmarillion #gorgumoth #dog #namo #wait. if namo has a dog #this means it is another point in favor of him being a hades 2.0 #no?#the silmarillion #DinoDreams

How does it feel like for your fucking jaysteph agenda to be heard that your getting some panels of them on the recent episode

Do you know someone from the webtoon because now I want to do something for my rarepair to make myself be hard too (not for the batman one, but for a different webtoon)

the first part sounds aggressive ngl but i feel you just like to sprinkle in a curse word sometimes-

IT FEELS GOOOOOD i'm so used to giving not with writing jaysteph fics i'm new to that area but you know what i mean i finally get to receiveee ashfjshasahsa

okay okay so kindddd of a story time (no spoilers under cut this time just some rants)

i know my current jaysteph series is called "summer's jaysteph agenda for wayne family adventures" and it's really just that - tbh i didn't make it to be heard, i just made it as a personal thing for me because i wanna give some moments for my ship (i like to think that my "specialty" is writing missing scenes ever since i made my first doriano fic for encanto)

i can't really follow the current continuity cause there's a lot of stuff that branches from it so i chose wayne family adventures since i can easily update myself with the events there

as for the second part, unfortunately i don't know anyone from the webtoon. and i don't really think i was "heard" because of my series ashfjashfasa (it would be funny if i was tho, i can only imagine,,, webtoon if you're seeing this tho and wanna confirm my dm is always open ;>)

but i do encourage you to write for your rarepair. whether you get heard for it or not, at least you made something for yourself that'll satisfy your need for content on your rarepair - and for others out there that also ships your rarepair <33

#summer askbox #thank you anon!!#any chance to talk about jaysteph is welcomed here ahsfjahsasa #OH OH also if anyone is interested or curious #i just wanna plug #there's a jaysteph weekend this august!!#feel free to check out @jaystephevents for details!!

Only A Play-Part 2

Word Count:3053

Pairing : AU Henry & FemBlack! Reader

Warning:Angst, soon to come Smut

Summary: Y/n and Henry still trying to navigate their mutual attraction but, their job is making it harder to deny.The next chapter is already written, there’s sex in it I swear.

"So today I want you guys to focus on working with Dana" Steve began

"She's our resident intimacy coordinator, I've already gone over the scene with her and she's going to make sure it goes over as smooth as possible. We're going to get her assistance a couple times during this process but today we're going to empty out the studio so have fun, play and get to know eachother. Today is just a day for you two to find some comfortable physicality with eachother." Stephen winks at you and then begins ushering tech and the few ensemble members out of the room. Friend or not, anyone attracted to men could not deny that Mr. Cavill was absolutley gorgeous, as wasted as it may be. In all honesty you hadn't spoken much aside from that snowy day outside the studio. He did begin to bring coffee and Kal to rehearsals and you tended to find the snuggly, bear of a dog always next to you when you were waiting for a cue but, it wasn't as though the two of you had had a heart-to-heart and resolved any of these unspoken differences. And as far as the scene was concerned your heart was doing backflips unable to tell which action would come more naturally, to kiss him or to hit him.

"So I'm seeing a lot of passion here! O !Please remove your shoes for today's lesson." Dana cuts in breaking the silence. Both of you look down at the wood paneled floor. Now was the time where you really had to work, you think to yourself while slowly slipping out of your shoes.

“Unfortunately Dana, “ Henry begins, immediately charming the brakes off of her.

“ At this point of the play I believe her character is quite conflicted, as a woman she obviously wants to give in to him but, at the same time she knows she'll be letting down her family and he will too, they'll live a life with no family outside of the one they create for themsevles. It's quite powerful.But, a tough emotional point to bring oneself to."

"That may be how Christopher sees it -" you snap referring to his character. You are suddenly aware that you sound way more upset then you had intended to. "She doesn't want have sex with him because if she does she's giving up more than him,she always has.That's the whole story of their relationship. " you say, allowing your words to be the dam between the flood of frustration you want to direct his way.

"So as you said we both have a lot of emotions here, we need to work on honing them into something that could potentially work itself into this explosion of passion okay?" Dana jumped excitedly. She looks exactly like what you would have expected from an intimacy coordinator.She wore a long moo-moo like dress and chunky amber jewelry.She smelled of a ton of weed, not as though you were really complaining but, it all added to the aesthetic that had washed into the room on her heels as she had entered.

"I want to begin with an exercise- Mr.Cavill I know you've done scenes like this before so please work with me if I touch on some things you've already heard." she says leaning over and squeezing his forearm while winking. Great even the sex scene coordinator thought he was hot.

" I'm going to give you the space to choose but I want you both to just slowly go through the scene and when you hit a line that feels acceptable you remove an item of clothing. On stage you've both agreed to full nudity but today I just want to push you to do what feels comfortable!" Quietly you both moved to the opposite ends of the room, hitting your marks to begin the scene. You said your first few lines focusing on washing the dishes, the studio didn't have running water so it ended up being more like mime washing dishes. You were so much more professional than you were proving to be in this moment but, the second Henry removed his shirt you couldn't help but feel embarrassed. On his first line?Really? That was so like him ,so pompous. And even more upsetting how ridiculously attractive he was. God was his body sculpted from marble? Nothing but pure muscle rippling evenly, he seemed somehow tanned, despite the blistering New York winter. You focused hitting your next line perfectly ,completely unphased by his topless body.With the following delivery you shrug out of your jacket, revealing your tank top. Thank christ you had expected to have a hook-up with a bartender after today's rehearsal. You weren't in full lingerie but, you were definitely in a matching set. A matching set that happened to make your ass look great. You held that in your back pocket, knowing you had every right to parade about, naked in the same room as someone who was a shoe-in to be named 'World's Sexiest Man'. You went for it, pulling off your tank top with your next line. This is when your blocking got physical. You had run this scene before but, running it scantily clad was an entirely different matter. You were supposed to straddle him. That seemed simple enough. You stood before him, gingerly sliding one knee up onto the couch and then swinging another to the other side of him.

"Are you sure?" he whispered, low and slow. You hated how during the scenes he actually had moments of completely brilliant acting where you could see an amazing talent. Then, you felt his hand on your knee. It was absurdly large and warm, so warm. You froze. You didn't want to do it but, you froze.Your eyes flitted all over the room, desperately looking for a way out , to end the scene. You feel his hand move up your thigh, it's the blocking, he's just doing his job, you remind yourself. But, something in you makes you afraid of his touch. You look into his eyes and you can tell he's noticed you shrinking under his touch. He clears his throat and drops character.Changing his intention toward Dana.

"I'm sorry can we start over? I completely forgot my line." he smiled at her.

"Sure! That was really great I think just focus a bit more on your intention. It's funny I think you guys had more sexual tension at the start of the rehearsal than at the top of the scene!" she laughed to herself. "Okay, let's take a step back, relax , stand up ! Stand up!" she says, jumping to her feet. The two of you peeled yourself apart from each other and you found yourself looking down at your perfectly perky breasts feeling more insignificant than ever. You could feel your face heating up by his move to take the blame for the scene. It was much more gentlemanly than you were expecting from him.

"How about we take a break and come back in twenty? She suggested after a few warm-ups of jumping around and saying self -assuring mantras out-loud. After half a bottle of water, redressing, boring stretches and pretending to avoid eye-contact with Henry your rehearsal was finally up.

“ Oookay guys good stuff. Goooood stuff ! So for the weekend tomorrow I know Stephen had you signed up for a few meet and greets and publicity shoots but, I actually think that if you guys could set aside the time that you do spend together to get physically comfortable it could do a lot for your onstage comfortability. Hand holding, general petting or stroking, you may even want to try a light sitting on the lap, just anything really to get you more used to one another. This relationship needs to seem as effortless and fluid as possible.” She smiled “ also note that my number is free for 24/7 communication so if something comes up for you emotionally in this work feel free to get in contact with me, even if it's just to chat my door is always open!" she beams,collecting her water bottle and other assorted scripts she was reading through at the beginning of the rehearsal.

Stephen reenters and, he and Dana go to the corner of the room to talk.

You work your back pack onto your shoulder and begin to head for the door.

"Wait up!" Henry calls out from behind you. You whirl around and almost bump into him. His sweatshirt is baggy but unzipped enough that you can see the small tufts of hair playing at the tops of his chest, his baseball cap pulled way down over his forehead. Those blue eyes shined bright from the shade under that baseball cap.

"What are your plans for tonight ?" he asked, slightly exaggerating his breathing from the light jog across the room. You searched the room awkwardly,looking for an out. What is it with him? Why did he think, especially after the last time the two of you had spent alone together, that you would ever want to be included in his plans for the night.

"Perfect Idea!" Stephen exclaims from across the room. "You guys use tonight to bond as much as possible before tomorrow afternoon's interview session yeah?"

"Uhhhh sure ." You agree, not wanting to seem like the town buzz-kill. You turn shrugging towards Henry. He smiles, seeming almost relieved that you agreed without putting up a fight, as Steve moves to rejoin Dana in the back

"So uhhh my place or yours?" he asks in a half hearted joke.

"Uhhh" you definitely don't want him at your place, where there is laundry strewn all over the apartment .

"I mean I have to feed my dog and run some errands anyway so my apartment would be ideal."

"O great! Okay yeah , let's do that then." you pushed on the door and headed for the elevator, the ride down to the lobby of the rehearsal studios was entirely silent, filled with awkward shuffling and avoided eye contact. Only punctuated by a short uber black ride in silence to an apartment on the upper east side. Ofcourse he lived on the upper east side.The doorman was polite as you followed behind him, clearly him bringing strange women up to his apartment was not entirely unheard of. Once in the room, you asked where to sit your bag down, your afternoon ritual usually included a trip to the gym, that is what had become your me -time since college. He motioned you to his guest room, in which you were shocked,contained a shower, granted the entire tiny room was a shower but, being a guest in New York with your own bathroom was definitely not an everyday thing. Especially, for a little black girl from the south.

"Is it okay if I shower before we grab dinner?" you ask.

"Oh! You wanted to grab dinner?I was just going to order chinese."

"That's fine! " you ungracefully exclaimed from the other room.Shit. Hopefully he didn't think you really meant grab dinner like on a date.

"Do you have a special order?"he asked, appearing in the doorway. You turned around slightly alarmed that his voice had gotten that much closer.

"I love everything!" you smile, he looked down at the floor nervously. "but shrimp lomein is my favorite." you say unzipping your jacket and placing it on the bed, your bra was working overtime holding you up and you made a mental note to order another one exactly like it. He cleared his throat and there was a second of silence. You could feel his eyes slowly darting around the room trying not to look at your chest. As actors, especially ones who have to do nude scenes together you didn't think it would be a big deal to him that you were getting ready to shower. You had mentioned on the elevator earlier that you had wanted a shower. Taking off your jacket just seemed like the right next step, nothing to feel weird over.

"Sounds Good!" he exclaims, finally showing you his full smile, for the first time since the rehearsal process had started. God he was a sight, he had removed his hat and you noticed how perfectly his hair curled onto his forhead.It was adhered by sweat but, not the weird homecoming- football helmet sweat, you get from your highschool crush. This was a grown-man glistening infront of you. It sounded ridiculous, the situation itself was ridiculous,why was he even sweating ?

"Sorry-I uh- I didn't know you were showering right now. We can talk about it later if you-"

"It's fine" you say, stepping in and laying a hand on his forearm.His eyes shot down to your hand then immediately back to your eyes, sure to avoid seeming like he was staring at your breasts. He clears his throat again and you can smell the faint cologne on him as you watch his adams apple bob. The air in the room changes and you feel him shift away from you. You mumble a thanks for the dinner as you hear him close the door between you.

Your shower was perfectly steamy and warm, much unlike your brooklyn apartment that had charm and character but, a much worse hot water heater. As you washed away the dirt from the day you tried not to think of Henry, of what he must think of you for absolutely chewing him out just a few short weeks ago. He seemed to have gotten over it but, at the same time perhaps he was just trying to be the better person. As much as you hated to admit it he had completely accepted your scathing critique and was now treating you like the highest paying guest at a five-star resort. You turned down the hot water, basking in the last bit of steam and enjoying the first true silence of your day. Reaching an arm up, you grab a towel, wrapping it around your body. You stretched out for another towel that you had laid across the sink, somehow your legs completely slipped from under you and you crashed to the floor,grabbing the sink for leverage. Really all you did was knock over some toiletries that you had put on the sink earlier and you could feel your cheeks heating up. It was weird to be embarrassed in a room by yourself but, you knew he must've heard something. You sat on the floor, allowing your chin to rest on the top of your knees. You desperately needed a moment to breathe. Life had been so stressful lately, and you possibly had let off a bit too much steam on him. He was actually a nice guy, sure the accessible information on him didn't make him look amazing but when it came down to it once you explained how you felt about him he had worked so hard to seem normal and accessible. For whatever reason he seemed to respect your opinion as an artist. The knock at the door kept you from becoming completely lost in your thoughts. It knocked again and you could hear his feet shuffle on the hard wood outside of the door, the nails of the large dog clicking the floor next to him.

"You okay in there?" It seemed earnest enough.

"Yeah!" you called back "My mind has really been somewhere else lately, I just umm lost my footing- that's all."

"Okay well let me know if you need anything." It was cheery but helpful. Once you heard him close the door to your room you got up and got dressed as quickly as you could, fumbling to get sweatpants on without accident. Today was definitely not your most agile day. You finally let your hair down and put on just the smallest amount of mascara to make your eyes pop.It was an effortlessly hot look that had worked for you for years, especially in college. You closed the door behind you and gently padded your way to the kitchen. The apartment was cozy, Kal was curled up on a rug in the corner of the room while Henry portioned the food onto pristine white plates. You noticed the baseball cap was back on and at least thanked god for giving you that small assistance in removing the temptation to touch him by running your fingers through his hair.

"So you order takeout but refuse to eat it out of the container?"you asked jokingly as he whirled around from the counter.That smile appeared on his face again and you knew you were putty in his hands,The way he filled out his navy blue t-shirt was unbelievable.

"It's less calories this way." he winked. Thank god he had a sense of humor.You returned his smile now sitting in the chair closest to the kitchen. The conversation veered from workout routines, to body image stress as a performer and then back to work. You found yourself sucking a noodle wishing he'd bring up something else. You absolutely could not do a night of niceties and small talk at this point in your life but, you also weren't ballsy enough to walk right up to him and tell him you wanted him.

"Y/N?"he asked

"Yeah?" you jumped being pulled once again from you daydream

"Do you wanna run lines or watch tv or something?"he asked shyly

"Yeah I mean -we can run lines if you want I just thought we were supposed to bond by talking or something." you laughed trying to take the edge off the awkwardness of the scenario.
