message within the leaves: 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐁𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐊 | “we’re almost there, love.” hanamaru guides rock along, her hands over his eyes as she leads him outside. when she removes her hands, she smiles brightly as she reveals the motorcycle he has been looking for, adorned with a big bow. “happy birthday, my wolf. you deserve the entire world, but until I can give that to you, I hope this and the dinner will be suitable for now.~” | sender: @bravesung I 𝙰𝙲𝙲𝙴𝙿𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶

━━   ❝   𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞.   ❞   Rock spoke with both her hands before his eyes as he continues to step forward carefully upon her instructions, it wasn’t long until she removed her hands from his eyes and allowed him to look at JUST what she had instore for him. And rock couldn’t believe it..this was IT..this was the same bike he had pointed at a few months back, the one he’s been saving towards, putting in those extra hours at work..and it was RIGHT here in front of him. She bought it for him..eventhough she knew that he was planning on doing it himself. That didn’t matter to her, she just wanted to give him something she KNEW he would love on his birthday, hell she probably knew she could have bought him a candybar from the dollar store and THAT would have been more than enough but she got him a bike..THE bike he wanted. “Babe I-..” 

Shit he couldn’t speak, he was overjoyed..dammit he didn’t think he would have been this choked up. Not because he had gotten an expensive gift but his fiance went the extra mile and it was all just for him. To experience this type of love unconditionally..Rock couldn’t help but wrap his arms around his beloved and just like that her cheeks, lips, forehead, face were attacked by a multitude of happy and excited kisses. “Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you I love it soo much. I love you..you didn’t have to..Thank you Thank you.” He spoke out again giving her just one more kiss whilst the moisture finally fell from the corner of his eye.

━━   ❝   𝐎𝐡..𝐇𝐢 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.   ❞  Rock was friendly to the camera, towards her audience that’s really greatly supported her hobby. Granted, there’s still a part of him that’s far too shy to pick up much camera time so of course he’d then step away towards the sidelines because WELL he isn’t the star of the show after all. “But it’s okay baby, you just do what you need to, I’ll be right here.” He’s already handled most of the chores and kitchen cleaning downstairs so there wasn’t any rush to disturb his beloved within her element.

"You know, there was someone at work that said there's going to be a new horror game dropping tomorrow...something about a 'Quiet Place', I bet your viewers would love to see you play it." A dive into the horror genre would give her a good following and it could be something that she does either once or sparingly in order to garner hype whenever she does step out of the comfort zone.

( scarlxtleaves. ) –––––

"Whoops..I wasn't aware you were still streaming. Thought would have been doing by now." Rock said holding her lunch on a tray. "I'll set this aside until you're hungry."

That’s a no, he wouldn’t chance it.

His hands slowly removes the jacket from his frame and gently drapes it over her shoulder as they stood under a slanted roof in an alley. “Let’s make a quick run for it at the convenience store up ahead, we can stay there and wait this out.”

𝘾𝙍𝘼𝙎𝙃!! The sound of books was heard crashing against the floor before his feet as scarlet hues gaze at her figure dressed in lingerie..no matter what she wore, if it hugged or showed off her body it was enough to take him out. His mouth was left opened..slightly and his face adorns a crimson dust. ❝   𝐇𝐨𝐭!!   ❞ Was the ONLY word that his mind could have found at the moment before he brought himself back into reality.

“I mean..ahem..it looks great on you…it’s definitely something tailored made to you and I’ve REALLY got to thank Alyssa for this.” God BLESS That woman for designing the GREATEST pieces of fashion and giving his fiancee the special treatment of purchasing it.

Dammit..where could she be?? She might have to change her profession from model to ninja because she was great at hiding 𝙊𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙀𝘼𝘾𝙃.  Nothing to hide behind other than..the little huts for the stalls but he’s probably searched behind a couple of those already and came up short. Then before he knew it he felt a light thud against his shoulder, looking down to spot a beach ball. Rock crouches down and picks up the inflatable sphere so the wind does not claim it and began looking around.

Luckily enough he saw a child approaching him, the little boy was quite the 𝙨𝙝𝙮 type. Maybe it was because Rock was a foreigner and he was unsure how to communicate. ━━   ❝   𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐨??   ❞  His sentence slightly soft-spoken and filled with kindness. The child was so happy to hear Rock speaking fluent Japanese whilst..having a bit of a kansai accent. 

“Yes Mister.” The boy replies.

Rock then smiles and extends his arms forward to present the sphere and the boy took it, gave his thanks and continues on his merry way and then 𝙞𝙩 happened. 

𝐒𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐇!!!!!!𝐒𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐇!! The water got him directly on the back as he turned and laughed, blocking with his hand. “Oh..you came prepared with weapons huh..wait until I get my hands on you.”He was going to give her the dunk of the century into the water.

message within the leaves: 𝐔𝐍𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐃 | there’s a note left for rock , it’s sealed in an envelope with a light , floral scent. should he open it , the note will read, “ I will be waiting in the park in the gazebo. please just do this one favour for me : if you like me as more than a friend . . . wear all white. ~ hanamaru. ” | sender: @bravesung I 𝙰𝙲𝙲𝙴𝙿𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶

━━   ❝   𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞?   ❞  He turned to look at the 𝐎𝐍𝐄 suit that he owned and it was anything BUT white. Reading this message he could only hope that rentals counted. His face burns in quite the crimson shade as he remembers the last line written in the message. Well now he definitely couldn’t disappoint her because Rock DOES in fact like her as more as a friend.

He began wondering if perhaps it would be okay to answer this letter with a text message. However, eventually he decided against replying to this letter through texting as he spent the majority of the day looking into places where he could buy white clothing. Remembering that they were meeting at a gazebo in the park the fighter figured that it would be easier to slip by with just nice-looking clothes rather than going completely formal. (that and he was afraid of overdressing)

It took some time but the clothes were chosen, a completely white outfit. White t-shirt, a white jacket THAT looked like a formal jacket at the very least, then white pants coupled with white shoes. “Eh..definitely not my color..am I joinin’ a wedding or somethin’? Hrmmm..well can’t ask her about it now Einstein.” Words spoken towards himself as he hopped onto his bicycle and rides towards the park from his complex. It didn’t take him too long as he had arrived maybe two minutes later than the scheduled time.

“Sorry I’m late..but I’m here Hana.”

They were held at gunpoint by this..franctic 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞 of a fanboy. Hanamaru being the beautiful model that she is, someone that is too 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 as this guy would describe her. Rock was patient enough before the other pulled out his firearm. But of course, no matter what he said it fell upon deaf ears but he did his best and remained at Hana’s side, protectively of course. Rock’s plan is to talk to the guy long enough in order to kick that gun out of his paws. 

But he became unhinged by the minute until he was simply sick of Rock’s voice so he had gotten visibly upset and held his gun firmly but at that moment Hanamaru did something unthinkable and took the bullet for him..in the shoulder probably..the other man was not a good shot to behind with however, realizing whathe had done the man panics and rushes out of the alleyway.

Rock of course paid no mind to him and simply comforts his fiancee.  ━━   ❝   𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐚..𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭..𝐰𝐡𝐲?   ❞  The tears threaten to fall from his eyes as he crouches and held his beloved in his arms. His eyes then scans the wound to see that the bullet had indeed hit her shoulder..but with no sign of an exit would he could only assume that it was left within her. Frantically he called for the ambulance and remained at her side..all the while feeling something 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙙 trying to take hold of him…it was his rage and that blasted man’s blood fed on his rage like a pack of piranhas.

But Rock resists and resists to the point that it pains his entire body..but he doesn’t mind. It allowed him to remain here with her. “C-can you heal yourself to push the bullet out?? I-...NGH…can you…” It was hard to concentrate..it was DIFFICULT to remain calm as Rock displayed discomfort with his facial expressions. There was a voice within the back of his mind telling him to seek retribution..blood for blood..but no..he would respect this cold voice in his mind forthe rest of his life.

━━   ❝   𝐇𝐚, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭.   ❞  There was a content smile on his face, considering her line of work he’d imagine that it was rather 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭 buying things as simple as sugary goodies. So of course he was incredibly happy for her, then his brow raised the moment he saw that bear-like cookie. It was so beautifully crafted..huh. Slowly he reaches into the bag upon her invitation to take a look of what she has here. “These all look good..just OH, hold on.” Rock managed to pull out a wolf cookie..but it was soo much smaller than the bear..was this a damn cub!? 

His appearance that was once excitement turned into pure disappointment. It seemed that he could never retreat from the ‘rookie’ label..even snack thinks he just wasn’t 𝙍𝙀𝘼𝘿𝙔 to step out of Terry’s shadow and bask in his own light. Or perhaps..this was something orchestrated by the man himself. “I don’t know how..but I definitely know Terry’s behind this. A cub? A cub?! Hana, you think I’m a wolf don’t you?”

The lakes here hit differently than they did at Second south. Granted one would have to drive for miles OUT of the city to even arrive at the nearest lake and that itself would be an hour and a half depending on the traffic alone. Either way California lakes were soo much better, the air was much warmer in contrast to the colder season back in Second South..again ANOTHER good thing about this place and that sunset, he wanted to spend 𝐒𝐎 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐘 more days like this with Hanamaru. 

Too bad he was too much of a coward to tell her that out loud. But still, at the very least he gets to enjoy this 𝙬𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 scenery alongside her. There were still many children splashing about at the water’s edge, laughing, and giggling with conversations had all around them but throughout all of that the only person Rock had his eyes on were Hanamaru. Bathing suit or not, she looked so beautiful today, but there was his 𝐂𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐄 that came out whenever she would turn her own gaze. That was when Rock’s gaze would swiftly shift towards the water.

━━   ❝   𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐚...𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.   ❞  Words were the only way he could truly express his own gratitude for she might have saved his life on an emotional level. It wasn’t far from today last year where he’s dealt with his Uncle’s madness, when Kain revealed that his mother was still 𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 Rock had been skeptical but there was a grand part of him was still hopeful to believe in his words. Ugh, he was just going to get depressed if he sat here thinking about it too much. Without warning Rock had stood up. “Let’s set up camp…where it’s just the two of us.” That’s when he turned to look at her, the troubles of his past melting away the moment his eyes met with her own and he would smile genuinely towards her.

━━   ❝   𝐎𝐡 𝐦𝐚𝐧!!   ❞  He looked at the plush given to him by his fiance. The little Egyptian-esque feline in his grasp..in doll form of course. Overjoyed Rock leans forward and plants a barrage of gentle kisses along her face, cheek to cheek and finally her lips. “I love this, it’s definitely gonna be sitting just at the top of my pillow..or maybe even between us. Who knows it might bring me luck and she’ll visit my island..my probably..1-star island.”

message within the leaves: 𝐔𝐍𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐃 | “ oooh! rocky! I found the plushies! okay, do you mind holding these? — and these? — and these? ” by the time hanamaru is done, the shopping cart and rock himself is covered in a mountain of plush toys. she may have went a little overboard while shopping. | sender: @bravesung I 𝙰𝙲𝙲𝙴𝙿𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶

━━   ❝   𝐎𝐇 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐞.   ❞  He spoke softly as he extends his hand to take a hold of it as she went on ahead to look at more things..but then she came around with a second plushy for him to hold. “Oh sure, the plushies need pals, can’t have ‘em lonely all over the bed.” Being the patient fiance that he was Rock of course spoiled Hana rotten when it comes to her shopping habits but soon enough she came back with a plush every ten seconds for him to hold. How was she moving this fast?? “I’m a marrying the flash?” His question was soft and muffled under the mountains of plushies that he held next to their overfilled cart.

It didn’t take long for two or three to be seen falling over creating a little hole so Rock’s face could be seen (and so he could breathe) “Babe..I think you took enough..” Not to say he wasn’t prepared to hold the entire shipment container of these things if she wanted more. BUT he could hope that these hundreds were enough.

[burnxngslash]

━━   ❝   𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭.  ❞  Rock was just content the source of her distress came from a video game and nothing external. From beneath the covers Rockextends a hand forward and over her so he could be the big spoon and it let’s him see exactly what she was currently playing. “I’ll give you all the cuddles you’d need. As long as Tom Nook doesn’t encourage a rage kick.” The sentence left him with a smile on his face before his lips would plant a gentle kiss at the back of her head. “Don’t you have a show tomorrow?? Are you nervous?”

A little get-together by Sachiko in the US might just be what the doctor ordered. Once they land he could give Terry, Mary or even his uncle Andy a quick text or call to let them know that he was back for a limited time considering there was still his internship to deal with. ━━   ❝   𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐞?  ❞  There was NO hiding Rock’s excitement of going back home, to LA of all places. It was a quick ride from the airport and they’d be at him and Terry’s little apartment…that he could only hope isn’t turned upside down considering his adoptive father was anything but a 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙧. Whilst no total slob..he wasn’t exactly the best when left unguided.

“There’s this place where Terry and I-” Oh his sentence caught off guard due to the turbulence, and with that came Hana’s koala clutch against his arm with her head leaned against his shoulder. The sight alone made him smile as a hand reached to comb through her teal locks. “It’s okay babe we’re fine. So..Sachi said she also invited someone else..how funny would it be if she invited your Semi-truck of a cousin?” Now he was simply trying to get her mind off the previous bout with turbulence.

He knew that expression all too well, poor girl was a nervous wreck but AT the very least she wasn’t making any reservations in Paris this time around so there’s definitely time to calm her nerves before the actual visit.

So, how could he not love you just the way you are?”
