#and nik is charming and funny

[on-a-lucky-tide]

The medical staff have to keep Price mildly sedated to stop him leaving before he's ready to be discharged. He's stubborn, restless, defiant and downright cantankerous otherwise. Sleepy, occasionally grumpy but otherwise mellow, is a huge improvement.

Despite the initial concern over injuries, Nik kind of enjoys those hospital stays. He holds John's hand while he sleeps, strokes his hair, traces circles and wiggly lines over his arms until John's skin is flushed with goosebumps. He'll sit and read, scroll his phone or watch daytime television, chatting and joking with John while he's awake; it's a peaceful, quiet time where John has no demand on his time other than to rest.

John is uniquely vulnerable in those moments, it's the only time Nik's ever seen him look frightened, and the way he grips Nik's hand when the doctor walks in to prod and poke at him some more makes Nik feel needed, trusted. The strongest person he knows turns to him for comfort, to feel safe again, and Nik can't help but puff up with pride every time.

Request: Love Sick!

@catmikaelson20 asked: hello, could you make a request for klaus where he is madly in love with the reader and is courting her and everyone makes fun of him because with the others he is an idiot and around him he basically follows her like a puppy and grabs anything to please her🥰🥰

Klaus normally gets what he wants. Women and men normally fall at his feet craving his attention, but Y/N wasn’t like that and he was happy about that. He had made it his mission to make her his. He was going to court her, he didn’t care the lengths he had to go to win her favour, but what he did know was that he was going to win it.

Klaus had decided that it would be Y/N or no one else. So, he decided that he would begin the courting process. He knew that it would take time, but he has all the time in the world.

Klaus decided to start off simple and thought it would be best to be friends. Getting to know one another and spending time together. Y/N loved spending time with Klaus, he was always so open about talking about everything he had seen and experience. Whereas, Stefan just wanted to bury it away like his nature and Damon would always make some wisecrack joke about his past. Y/N found herself spending more time around Klaus and his family and getting to know them. Spending time with them felt undramatic and simple, it didn’t feel like there was another drama around the corner and she was happy about that.

The more time they spent together to more often Klaus would bring her gifts like her favourite flowers and chocolates. But, sometimes it was the simple things like her favourite coffee or a small sketch of her. Without fail it would make her blush and she couldn’t help the smile that would invade her face.

It wasn’t just Y/N that he won over but also her family, his easy charm and manners won them over. They enjoyed watching him with their daughter and how kind and caring he is about her.

When it came to the ball, Klaus got her a stunning dress and requested that she saved him a dance. Y/N wasn’t planning on attending the Ball but she couldn’t refuse him. She loved it and felt like a princess the whole evening even though she had no clue what her friends had planned for the Mikaelson’s. It was Damon and Stefan who had noticed how his focus had gone solely onto Y/N.

Rebekah and Kol were watching as Klaus filled a basket with treats and gifts.

“Nik what are you doing?” Rebekah asked with a raised brow.

“Y/N is ill and I thought that I would make her a hamper with all the things she likes to make her feel better.” Klaus answered as he was putting the finishing touches on it. 

“Look at you Niklaus all domesticated.” Kol grinned manically at his brother.

“Shut it Kol.” Klaus glared at his little brother.

“I didn’t know you could do something so selfless.” Rebekah looked at her brother in shock.

“Well, I have my moments.” Klaus huffed picking up the basket and left quickly leaving behind two highly amused siblings.

Rebekah found it funny watching her love sick brother who refused to love anyone follow after her like a puppy. All she can say is that she is glad that it wasn’t someone like Caroline Forbes. 

Elijah found it refreshing to see his brother like this he had always said that love is a vampire's greatest weakness and now to see him fawning over someone was amusing.

Finn watched on in shock, but soon found it as amusing as his siblings especially in moments when Y/N wouldn’t give him the time of day.

Kol found it hilarious. Kol’s favourite thing is to flirt aggressively with Y/N and also to take up as much of her time as he can to make Klaus jealous.

Y/N decided that she wanted to go to the Grill for a little while and Klaus found out and decided to join her. Damon, Stefan, Caroline and Elena were also there and they watched as Klaus followed Y/N like a lost puppy.

“Oh look it’s the puppy.” Damon grinned, receiving a fierce glare from Klaus and a low snarl making the group all flinch back at the sound, before Klaus quickly brought his attention back to Y/N and melted under her smile. The group watched in mild awe at how different Klaus was with her compared to others. When Y/N leaves after a call from her parents, Damon makes his way next to him. “I didn’t know the big bad Hybrid was all soft for some girl.” Damon grinned amused.

“Have care how you talk about Y/N.” Klaus glared at what Damon said.

“Ohhh, what hitting a nerve with the puppy?” Damon grinned amused.

“Just because you two seem doomed to always want each others girl doesn’t mean we all have to fall at her feet.” Klaus snaps at the two who where taken aback by his words.

Stefan likes to tease him about when they were werewolf hunting and he was continuously asking about her.

I'm just imagining what would happen if you had a chance encounter with Makarov.

All you wanted to do was go have a drink with Nikolai. The bastard had hyped up a new kind of Russian liquor that was sure to make your night.

You ended up by yourself at a hole in the wall bar, in the middle of Russia, because Nik gave you the wrong directions. And really, it's not entirely your fault that you don't realize who Makarov is until later. You're such a new member of the team they didn't fuckin' brief you! And if he'd told you his last name something would've fuckin' clicked!

But he introduced himself as Vladimir. And you thought he was cute enough to flirt with. He's intrigued by you, because well, you're obviously a foreigner (and a pretty one at that). You spend the night chatting, blushing as he tells you some funny stories from his youth. Hes handsome and charming and he looks at you with intrigue. At the end of the night he has one of his men escort you back to your hotel in a gorgeous white car.

You find out weeks later that your "chance" meeting had been meticulously planned from the start.

[cod-dump]

Nik: You’re very lucky going on that mission with John

Graves: Ugh, we have to rub elbows with some stuck up, prestigious pricks that never had to even wipe their own asses. I don’t see how I’m lucky

Nik: Oh, John will make it worth it. He cleans up very, very nice. Puts on this character. Educated, funny, charming like a prince right out of a storybook

Graves: *leans closer as he listens*

Nik: Dresses in this suits tailored just for him. They fit him oh so perfectly-

Graves: Hmm…

Nik: You’re lucky, Phil. I only got a small taste of him when he last got into character

Graves: *staring off into space*

Nik, grinning: Get a video if you can

Graves: NIK- … Okay-

Comfort

Not my usual, but wanted to start the year by doing something for someone

@nrdmssgs, I love you <3

''Милая?''

You raise your head when you hear Nikolai call out to you after closing the door. Usually you would be up and walking to him from wherever you were in your apartment, but this time you stayed on the sofa, trying to shake the feeling of dread and sadness that had plagued you lately.

''I'm here, Nik''

You knew he wasn't stupid. You knew he could sense something was wrong in the last weeks, how your demeanor changed slowly, sadder, weaker, ... disgusting. You felt horrible within your own body, and no matter how much you tried to rationalize, could not shake it.

His heavy steps approached the living room, but your eyes returned to the book that you were definitely not reading. You didn't even listen to what was on the tv, only needing the background noise to... what? You barely knew anymore.

His body warmth was suddenly next to you on the sofa, and then, his arms dragged you to his lap, and his enormous hand craddled the back of your neck to tilt your face up to look at him.

''Любимая, talk to me''

Your heart both swelled and broke at the sight of his worried eyes, and you forced a smile on your face to try and deceive him into believing there was nothing wrong.

''What do you want me to talk about? Everything's fine''

Nikolai sighed, deeply, and his hand moved from the back of your neck to cup your face, his palm scorching against your jaw and cheek.

''My little one, you and I both know that it's not true. Please, don't shut me out. Please''

Your sight was suddenly blurry, and you blinked quickly, trying to fight the tears welling your eyes, and your forced smile faltered until it disappeared.

It all came out, like a wind that couldn't be contained, a tidalwave washing over a beach, dragging out rocks and debris. How you have felt lately. How disgusting you felt in your own body, in your skin, in your mind... in your soul.

And he listened silently, nodding from time to time and not once his eyes turned from you, nor did his hand on your face leave it or his arm wrapped around you allowed you to go further from him than the latest weeks you had drifted.

When the words choked up in your throat and you couldn't continue, Nikolai sighed deeply again and cupped your face with both hands.

''My little one, Я тебя обожаю'' His smile was as reassuring as ever, always the same charming scoundrel that could easily swindle anyone out of their soul or just ground you. ''There is nothing disgusting in you except these silly thoughts that I'd love to crush and toss out of your mind. You are not disgusting. You are brilliant, and talented, and funny and wicked smart, and I am honored to have you in my life. My life is better with you in it. The world is better with you in it. You are not disgusting. You are a light in the dark''

The tears running down your cheeks were swiftly wiped with his kisses and his soothing words, cleansing your soul and your mind. Maybe the thoughts would come back. But you knew he'd be there to cast them away, again and again, and again, until there wasn't need for it anymore.

[practically-an-x-man]

Cassandra crashes through your OCs' window, battered and covered in blood. It looks like she just lost a fight with the supervillain of the week, and she has a broken wing that she can't reverse the transmogrification spell on without hurting herself more. What do they do?

Ooooh, thank you!!

Rae: Actually knows how to set a broken wing, thanks to living with Warren, and promptly does so. She bandages up Cassandra's other wounds, offers her some water and a quick meal if it'll help, and sends her on her way.

Robin: Sends her down to Hank's lab to get medical attention, and immediately calls someone to repair the window - it wouldn't be the first time she's had to get that replaced.

Madison: Probably throws a knife at her at first, just as a reflex to her crashing through the window, but once she gets over the immediate shock she offers some field first aid and tries to get her broken wing set well enough for it to starting healing or for Cassandra to reverse the spell.

Ophelia: Brings her into her lab and patches her up, but asks way too many questions about how she's able to spontaneously generate functional, biological wings without any apparent conservation of matter. Probably also grabs her actuators to take care of the supervillain herself, once she's finished cleaning Cassandra up.

Gia: Screams and throws flowerpots at her until Cassandra staggers out to find some other help, then patches up the window with duct tape and a sheet of plastic and checks her bank account to see if she can even afford to have it replaced. She also doesn't sleep for a week after that.

Jasper: Dealing with wings is... new, but they look up a few anatomical diagrams and veterinary guidelines and are able to set the bone using that and their medical background to guide them. Cassandra might be a little surprised at how nonchalant Jasper is (at least after they've gotten over the shock of her crashing through the window), but they've dealt with witches before.

Kestrel: Goes to grab Warren, since he's got more experience with it than they do (hard to set your own broken wing when you're in kestrel form, and all) (also it's funny that both Warrens would have experience with this lmao), and he gets the bone set and splinted. Kestrel then uses a healing charm to heal it up enough for Cassandra to reverse her spell and remove the wings.

Katherine: Calls on Heka to regenerate Cassandra's own magical energy, so she can take care of her own healing and transmogrification spells, and the two of them proceed to spend hours talking about and comparing their respective forms of magic.

Quinn: Assumes it's some sort of hallucination and literally ignores Cassandra until she just gives up. Only realizes it was real when Billy asks her why the wall of her trailer is all dented in.

Eris: At best, offers to cut Cassandra's broken wing off so she can reverse the spell (it can't heal wrong if it's not there, right?). At worst, immediately jumps into the fight and probably does more damage than the original supervillain.

Nikoletta: Tries to help as best she can (there's a half-formed idea somewhere about sending Cassandra's wings to the shadow realm as a makeshift way of reversing the spell, but I'm not sure that really makes sense), but makes Cassandra promise in writing to pay for the window repair since Nik really can't afford to pay for it herself. She's also really curious about Cassandra's shadow-based magic and spends a while talking about it (and secretly spends the next week trying to see if she can summon wings of her own)

Jimmy: With much respect to Jimmy... what the fuck would he do? I guess he'd call someone at the Paranormal Research Center and see if they can help, but there's really not much he can offer here.

[cyb3rangel1]

CALL OF DUTY ZOMBIES AGERE HCS!!!! (primis crew btw)

(prolly shouldn't post this on main but idc)

Dempsey: he gives caregiver vibes, but more like in an older teen brother way. like yea he'll take care of you but he'll also try to get you to curse and give you a lot of candy. Tank will definitely rough house with you tho if you like that, or if you're a pet/puppy regressor!! and maybe he's a teen regressor, he certainly acts like one LOL

Richtofen: definitely an age regressor. i think he canonically had/has a teddy bear? idk but eddie hordes plushies, he loves them! his favorite is a jellycat bunny, he likes to chew on the ears! he regresses to about 2/3 (defo not because i do too) but he still has a paci. its a white one with red rhinestones on it, the charm has a red cross symbol!! besides plushies, Richtofen's favorite toy while regressed is a doctor play kit, he gives all his plushies check ups! he bites Dempsey sometimes tho cause he can be too rough >:(

Nikolai: a switch! Nik would start as a babysitter but i think he'd try to regress and end up liking it. it's healthier than drinking yknow?? Nikolai is an older regressor, maybe 5/6. he also gives bear regressor vibes, he naps a lot! he also actually likes rough housing with Dempsey, so yay! he also likes playing with Richtofen, besties frfr. he doesn't use pacis, but he does chew on chewelery!! Nikolai's favorite is a necklace with a round silicone coin. its blue with moon phases on it!!

Takeo: finally, a responsible caregiver! it's probably really obvious i would make Tak a caregiver, but come on. look at him!! he's a very good choice, not too strict but also not too lenient. Nikolai and Richtofen both call him papa, cause they're european LMAO. while he mainly cares for Nikolai and Richtofen, he does have to punish Tank for being,, Tank. Eddie thinks its very funny when Tank has to stand in the corner!

thats all i have for now, hope yall enjoy! and feel free to request more head cannons and oneshots too!! this was really fun to write and maybe writing more will help me regress myself :3

Part Three. But with just TJ :)

@tragiclyhip

She sits in the driveway; engine off and rhythmically ticking as it cools down. Hands gripping the steering wheel hard enough to turn her knuckles white and pins and needles to form in the tips of her fingers. She can’t bring herself to go inside; not yet. Not with her tattered nerves and the unbearable heaviness that sits on her chest; it hurts to breathe, it’s uncomfortable to even move. She can’t go into the house like that; she’d already missed the bus drop off and their usual after school routine and she’s certain there’s hurt feelings and a little animosity on the kids’ parts.

She’s been gone a lot. First leaving Mumbai for Dhaka and then not returning to Australia when they did; relying on Ovi and Nik and Anil to keep them safe and happy while she stayed by her husband’s side. Their little lives have been turned upside down; a parent stuck in the hospital, the other nearly non-existent and their mind and their heart in another place even when they are home. It’s not fair to them; the upset to routine, the lack of proper quality time, all the missed hugs and kisses and cuddles and bedtime stories. They deserve more than that. So much more.

“I hate this,” she whispers, and her entire body begins to tremble. It finally releases; fear, worry, sadness, rage. “I fucking hate this!” she yells into the confines of the SUV, and tears stream down her face as she repeatedly stomps her feet against the floorboard and pounds her hands against the steering wheel. Screaming until her voice is hoarse and her throat is dry; continuing the assault until her wrists ache and her thighs burn. Then she slumps back into her seat and cries; hands pressed to her face as the sobs wrack her body and the tears stream down her face.

It takes several minutes for the moment to subside; until her body stops shaking and there’s no more tears left to cry. And she’s scouring the middle counsel for tissues to clean up her face when she hears it; the repetitive tapping of knuckles against her window.

“Mommy!” TJ stands in the driveway; already tall enough to see into the SUV without standing on his tiptoes. He’s long and lanky; all torso and limbs and beautifully tanned skinned. He’s only visible from the bottom of the nose up; the freckles across the bridge, those enormous blue eyes framed by impossibly long and dark lashes. “Mom!” He slams his palms against the glass. “Are you okay?!”

She nods, then places her palm against the window, covering his.

“Open the door!” TJ demands, and he’s suddenly so much his father. The concern that darkens his eyes, the furrows in brow, that assertive and demanding tone.

“I’m fine!” Esme assures him.

“Open...the...door!” He repeats, slowly and clearly pronouncing each word. “This isn’t funny! I know you’re upset! Open the door!” His eyes soften and he gives that charming, almost cheeky smile. “Please?”

He’s learned well. A true product of his environment.

“Go around,” she instructs, and watches as he hurries around the front of the SUV; sandy blond hair damp, the longer top strands sticking to his forehead and pushed in several different directions. He’s in his normal after school ‘attire’; shirtless and board shorts.

“What are you doing?” There’s a mixture of both concern and annoyance in his voice when she pops open the passenger side door, and she notices how impossible large his hands seem for only five; long fingers curling around the handle at the top of the door as he hauls himself inside. “Why are you sitting out there?”

“Why are YOU out here?”

“I asked you first. What’s wrong? How come you’re not coming inside?”

“I just needed a few minutes. It’s been a long day.”

“I was taking the recycling out,” he jerks his head over his shoulder; indicating the blue boxes that sit at the curb. “That’s my job, remember. That’s the job daddy gave me when we moved here. You didn’t see me?”

“You must have snuck by me. Like a ninja.”

“I don’t know how you didn’t see me. I’m hard to miss. Uncle Koen says I’m tall and skinny and awkward. Like daddy.”

“Your father is far from being skinny and awkward. You on the other hand…”

“That’s not nice, mom. When I’m big enough, I’m going to work out in the gym too. With daddy. He can show me how to get big muscles. I want to be big too. And strong. Do you think he’ll let me? Work out? When I’m old enough?”

“I know he will. He’ll like having a gym buddy.”

“Do you think I’ll be as tall as him? I hope I grow that big. I WANT to be that tall. I want to be a giant, too.”

“I think you’re well on your way to being just as tall as your dad if not taller.”

“Imagine?” His eyes widen in excitement. “If I grew taller and bigger than daddy? Daddy’s big. Like REALLY big. Sometimes he has to duck to get through doors in some places. Not to mention his hand is bigger than my whole face and his arms are massive! Imagine if I got bigger than him? That would be fucking awesome.”

Esme frowns. “Excuse me?”

“Sorry,” he gives a sheepish smile. “I don’t mean to swear. It just comes out!”.”

“You really do learn by example.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means your dad has to watch his mouth around you guys.”

SIMEON FINDS HE CAN RARELY HELP HIS DELIGHT IN THE COMPANY OF HIS CAPTAIN, HIS FRIEND. charming as he is, it might surprise some to learn he's had trouble maintaining friendships throughout his life for a number of reasons – some of which he's painfully aware and some he's yet to discover. he knows, at least, that he overwhelms some, or that at least he did when lived in ketterdam. perhaps the crew simply has different tolerances. either that, or maybe his energies are simply being put to better use aboard a ship like this. true enough, that he feels less restless here with the waves beneath him and activity ever available. his mother used to scoff when she cleaned his skinned knees or burned fingers or palms with splinters from the trees he climbed in the garden. can you not sit still for even a moment, my child? and unlike most other youths, he knows he’d never quite grown out of it ; he’d simply learned how to better hide it, when it was necessary.

the restlessness that lives beneath his skin, however, has calmed since becoming a member of sturmhond’s crew. the decks of the volkvolny seemed to welcome him from the very first day and he climbed the mast and rigging as though he were born to. for all the doubts he continuously harbors about himself, even he can see at least a fraction of the reasons why the infamous privateer allowed him to continue in his employ. that, and his entertainment value. sim doubts the crew would take kindly to losing his rowdy and rousing musical interludes or colorful storytelling, for all the lack of fun available on the open ocean most days.

" I fear they're far too mischievous to be so forthcoming, " he sighs in feigned wistfulness, as though lamenting motivations of the gulls himself. " I fear they would rather watch us flounder. but they share such deliciously scandalous gossip of all the creatures in the sea that I must forgive them. " if he leans a little too heavily against nikolai's shoulder, the other man does not show a stitch of it. simeon would hesitate to admit how comfortable it is, if only because it feels as though it's barely allowed, as though he were pushing the boundaries of some firm but unspoken rule. a foolish thought, a carryover from a noble upbringing he supposes, though only outside the walls of his childhood home. " and are you accusing me of being dishonest with our dear tolya? is it so surprising that I should enjoy his performances? perhaps I will agree to work with him on ... varying his tone. but only if you agree to grace me with a bit of verse yourself. now that you've piqued my curiosity. "

a warmth creeps in when nikolai turns his head to look at him, and even despite himself, sim can feel himself immediately soften before he can help himself. and if he's honest, he doesn't mind too much, doesn't mind the idea of the captain witnessing something gentle of him. even something genuine. it's been quite a long while since someone had earned it, but nikolai has. sim had almost forgotten what it was like, he supposes, to have somebody believe in him. he's not sure he'll ever truly understand what risk nik saw in him to make him take such a chance but he knows he's grateful for it. he wouldn't know how to begin thanking him. it seems less overwhelming to simply exchange verbal volleys.

" most of the men on this ship could learn a thing or two about flirting from a rock, so that isn't saying much, but I will admit her success rate is impressive. " better than his, even, though he doesn't say it aloud for reasons he cannot quite reason. ever so briefly and he tosses a glance toward the crew again, his temple bumps nikolai's and he snorts as if it were terribly funny. the kvas has started to warm him down to his toes, and for good measure, he takes another swig. " I fear her advice would be lost on me, but alas, I was born cursed by my singular attraction. " he sighs somewhat dramatically, letting his weight sag briefly against nik's shoulder before returning to his previous position. it's comfortable – perhaps too much so, but the night is too clear, the festivities too bright, and the liquor too generous to think too deeply about it.

instead, a hum escapes him and he cannot help but smirk, almost proudly. from a nearby lantern drains a tendril of flame, lazy and controlled, curling before sim in swirls and patterns as he directs it with fluid fingers. " my dear captain, surely you do not truly think I would set you alight. come now, even if I were inclined to cheat you, I am an artist. I appreciate beauty. I would walk myself off the plank before I damaged either of your singular faces. " all the while, the flame moves like a lazy snake, stunningly cast against the night sky and sapphire blue at its edges. " not that you require such compliments. I know you're nearly as vain as I am. but it would be a shame to waste such advantages on false modesty, don't you think? "

a good captain takes care of his crew. sturmhond is not only a fearsome reputation but a weight to carry, though in this case it is one nikolai likes to carry and is aware enough to make an effort, to carry it well. when he first embarked, he hasn't expected for his crew to become so tight-knit, for all of them to sink into each other like tides into the currents below, but they have forged themselves into an iron-clad bunch not many could rival. it was the root of their success, of his reputation too, and he knows to upset this balance of harebrained but mutually devised schemes and dangerously close calls with death would hurt him more than anyone else - he would carry the brunt of it like a mark, a scar on him to add to the battle-torn memories etched into his mind, and that is one thing nikolai tries to avert like hell. well, that and the shores of the country he hails from, even if he knows he's got a better shot trying to keep the people on this ship afloat than to remain out of ravka's tangible reach for too long. all the more reason to remain among the volkvolny's happy troupe of inhabitants for as long as he could allow himself, allow themselves even, and tonight speaks of fulfilling this resolution.

" you certainly sound like one and i don't see any other around. then it must be you, now it all makes sense. though knowing you are sidling up to the gulls and not sharing any of their rapport with me is a transgression i can only barely turn a blind eye to. what if they can foresee our enemies before even i can? it would be such crucial knowledge, don't you think? " nikolai shoots back immediately, voice airy as he teases simeon in return. it is easy to talk to him, not only because simeon is a good conversationalist - a little too good even, like a mirror reflecting everything and never letting anything of himself spill through - but because he has genuine interest in the world and the people around him at the very least. there is no ignorance to him when it comes to the experiences surrounding him, more than open to soak up tamar's hard-boiled lessons as he is to cheer one the navigators and even nikolai, or to offer biting but humorous commentary. and then there is his temper of course, that is almost the too honest part of him, peeking through when provoked. sometimes nikolai liked to prod at that too, though not now. " as important as it is to keep our secrets, tolya does need a bit of an honest audience. he couldn't grow otherwise. though i have to say that his repertoire is impressive as is. my hand at poetry has certainly never retained that much, i can tell you. "

not that sturmhond lacks in any qualities needed for the sea, wordly and violent as he is in equal measure, but nikolai is just as aware that a privateer of such station is better to dabble at work with a pistol or the most potent way to throw a dagger than to see the flourishes in verses and rhymes. a man of innovation before anything else, nikolai could see the beauty in the world but he still prefers to create his own mark, his own scar, onto the surface of it in return for all the marks left on him - hence the necessity of a crew matching his capabilities and his ruthlessness, nothing else would do in the long run. looking away from his good friend to instead watch simeon where he sits, nikolai likes to think that a night sky as dark as this one brings a new form of beauty to his eyes as well, especially as a backdrop for someone as alight as simeon. little could make him not look the part of a dashing nobleman or at least some form of well-grown youth, the kind of beautiful that rich families boast in their ranks before marrying him off to someone matching his beauty and wit with influence. it happens all the time, as a second son of royal nonsense nikolai would know, but still the unique charm of simeon's infectious roughness sets him apart from the lot nikolai has seen paraded around in west ravka and in kerch.

" well, her flirting is not the boasting i'd police anyhow, though most of the men on this ship could learn a thing or two from her. the turn-around rate she's working with is impressive, as ever, " nikolai then comments, grin spreading to the sly expression of a fox who unwound from a trap. " not that she could tutor you in the wiles of women, no, that wouldn't stick. i do enjoy seeing you two battle it out on the planks - she may be able to beat me, though you still have some ways to go, my good friend. especially when it'd be solely reliant on our mortal gifts. it wouldn't be a fair fight if you'd burn me to a crisp. just how tamar knows it wouldn't be fair too simply sap the life out of my muscles. we might fight dirty here, but not with each other. "

If it wasn't obvious, Nik had a soft spot for Felicity. He had ever since she moved to Bearcreek. The woman was literal sunshine and the epitome of everything good. He couldn't help but be drawn to her. Had she gone to high school with him, she would have absolutely been the popular girl he secretly harbored a crush for. Although he severely doubted she had any interest in him, Nik couldn't help the flirting that surfaced whenever she was in his presence. Lucky for him, she didn't seem to mind. Whether her reciprocation was genuine or she was just throwing him a bone, he leaned into it regardless. Deep down he was still that insecure teenage boy, but he masked it with confidence and laying on the charm thickly.

Nikhil's dark eyes swept over her twirling figure, drinking in the sight. She was stunning. "Beautiful. Truly." He couldn't stop the way his face lit up. "Now you're going to be the one to make me blush." Right away, he felt the warmth reach his cheeks. "But thank you. Nothing compared to you, but I will take it." Felicity's touch drew the smallest gasp from Nik, but he hoped she pulled away before she could feel how quickly his heart sped up from the simplest gesture. When he'd made the comment about the corn dog, Nik hadn't meant for it to come out so crass, but it was too late to recant. He was glad she took it easily, her melodic laugh putting him back to ease.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, dear. I believe your mind went to the gutter before mine." Nikhil too was laughing now, and he tried to pop a small piece of the funnel cake into his mouth. It wasn't an easy feat to accomplish without getting powdered sugar all in his beard or on his shirt. "Is that so? Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I'll happily accompany you for longer if you'll have me. Only a tiny bit of trouble," he assured, holding up his fingers and pinching them together. "Just by some really cute blonde in cowboy boots. How about you, gorgeous? Just how many hearts have you already stolen today?"

Was she ever happy to run into Nikhil! Felicity took a step back to give him a whole show, spinning here and there to allow the mid-thigh summer dress with its sunny yellow and white floral print to billow slightly. Her favorite tan cowboy boots completed the look. Felicity beamed and brushed loose blonde strands away from her face as she returned to standing before him. “You look as handsome as ever,” a light touch went to his chest as she said this, playing into Nikhil’s flirty nature. Her fingers trailed down for a moment before innocently returning to her food.

She needs to eat this corn dog before it gets cold however as she bite into it he caused Felicity to laugh. In an attempt to cover her mouth and speak at the same time she mumbled around a bite of food, “You naughty man.” She managed to swallow and lightly swatted his arm, laughing. “The best time and I’ve been here less than ten minutes. Could have something to do with the current company…” her voice trailed, trying to not smile and eat at the same time since that’s difficult to achieve. “How about your cute self? Gotten into any trouble since your arrival?”

Review: Hani & Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar.

Hani and Ishu couldn't be less alike - and they definitely don't like each other. But when fates collide and they pretend to date each other, things start to get messy... A heart-warming queer YA love story for fans of Becky Albertalli.

I didn't think I was big on romances, however I just read this in the day so I think I need to re-evaluate my tastes, because I love them when they are this well written!

Hani and Ishu are brilliant characters and so well developed throughout this whole book as they go through their own character arc, but also the growing relationship they have between one another. I love how honest the dynamic at first is between them, that awkwardness is so well written and is so genuine it brings the story to life.

The plot is funny, charming, heartbreaking in moments and brilliantly delivered throughout, with connections to family and friends done in a profound and important way - personally for me what I love about this book was the relationship Ishu and Nik, her sister formed in this book, I'm so glad the author chose for them to be there for one another.

I loved this book and devoured it in a day, I can't wait to read more from this author as she writes compelling stories with characters that you feel you must know, they feel so honest as you read them. One of my new favourites! (I received an ARC from Netgalley for honest review).
