Title: The Boy Is Mine (Mar’s edition)

Pairing: Eddie Munson x Reader

Summary: A romantic night in doesn’t go exactly as Eddie had planned.

Word Count: 3.312

Warnings: Established relationship. Insecure Eddie. Hurt/comfort.

Notes: Written for @carolmunson’s The Boy Is Mine Writing Challenge (you can find the rules here). Super late entry and it feels like I’ve been working on this for months, but it’s only been about two and a half weeks. Anyway. Here it is.

At least I can finally read the other entries now so that’s the rest of my weekend sorted.

Not beta-read so if you find any mistakes… those are all mine.

“I’ll take care of everything,” Eddie promised you the night before. “You can just put your feet up, or on me if you want, and I’ll obey your every command. I am but your humble servant.”

It had been one month since you had moved in together and Eddie had insisted on doing this for you since he felt that he had been difficult to live with. Naturally you had disagreed with that assessment, but he had been adamant.

Every time that you walked into the bathroom and he had left the toilet seat up, he would apologize like it was the worst thing in the world. It didn’t matter that you kept telling him that you didn’t mind and that it was no trouble at all, he’d still apologize and dart around you to right the wrong.

Same thing happened when you found the odd sock in a place that wasn’t the laundry basket. Or when Eddie hadn’t used a coaster.

Ridiculous and tiny things that were easily overlooked and ignored. Nothing that would be able to ruin your day so you never called him out on these things, because you genuinely didn’t mind. It didn’t stop him from insisting that he was an awful boyfriend and promising to do better though.

Sure, living with Eddie provided some challenges, which was more down to this still being very new to both of you, but nowhere near as many as he himself seemed to think.

For now, you were eager to find out what he had in store for you. Eddie had been incredibly secretive about it and had offered up no clues whatsoever. The only things that he had said were that it was going to be cheesily romantic and that he would surprise you.

You had been looking forward to it the entire day and were positively buzzing as you parked your car next to his van. Work had been hectic this past week and you had been fast asleep at around eight every single evening.

Thankfully today had been relatively quiet so you had been able to leave early. Maybe you should have called to let him know, but you had completely forgotten in your excitement.

When you got out of the car, you could already hear Eddie swearing inside the trailer. The volume only increased the closer that you got and you could only silently apologize to your poor neighbors.

It made you giggle to hear him swear like a docker on the other side of the door. You could only guess as to why it was, but still tried to keep your face as passive as possible when you finally opened the door to see what lay within.

Nothing could prepare you for what was on the other side however.

The kitchen looked like a bomb had exploded in it and Eddie was standing right in the middle of the chaos with a pink flowery apron that had once belonged to your grandmother over his usual black outfit. It looked both ridiculous and endearing.

There were eggshells on the counter and the contents of said eggs were dripping down it. There were white footprints on the floor, because your boyfriend must have stepped in what you assumed (and hoped) was flour. And then there were the white globs of something that looked like frosting that were everywhere, including in his hair.

“Eddie?” Upon hearing your voice, he turned around with a horrified expression on his face since you had caught him in the act. The spoon that was in his hand clattered to the floor loudly. Whatever was on it spattered onto the floor and also left debris on his socks and his jeans. You covered your mouth with your hand to stifle a laugh. “What are you doing?”

“Oh fuck.” Eddie rubbed his hands on the apron, leaving white smudges in its wake. “I thought I had another hour at least.”

Very calmly, you took off your shoes and hung your coat and bag on a peg near the door before walking closer to survey the mess that your boyfriend had made. Somehow it was even worse up close and that was saying something.

There was a mixing bowl on the counter, which seemed to be the source of the mess, with a hand mixer next to it. You could picture him using the highest setting only to have the contents end up all over the place.

“I got to hand it to you, I’m definitely surprised,” you eventually managed to get out whilst desperately trying to suppress your giggles.

“But not exactly in the right way,” he admitted as he rubbed the back of his neck. “In my head, you would come home after I cleaned everything, with the table set all fancy, so many lit candles that it would be a fire hazard and with some sappy record playing.”

“That does sound nice.” There were paper molds with batter in them right behind Eddie, which he was unsuccessfully trying to block from view. “Shame that I got home a bit earlier.”

“You could always leave and pretend that you’ve never seen this.” That’s what finally makes you laugh and since you had been holding back for a while, it didn’t take long for your eyes to well up with happy tears. It made him crack a smile, too. “Which you’re obviously not going to do.”

“Course not,” you replied as you wiped your eyes. “And honestly, as much as I appreciate this,” you gestured around the messy kitchen and then at Eddie himself, “you need to take a shower.”

“Sweetheart, I’m not gonna-“

“No,” you interjected simply and when it looked like Eddie was going to argue, you simply pressed your pointer finger on his lips to ensure that he kept silent. “No.”

“Fuck’s sake,” he mumbled against your finger. “This was supposed to be about you.”

“And I love it.” You pressed a kiss to his frosting stained cheek and could taste the vanilla. When you pulled away, his thumb wiped over your lips to clear the residue that was stuck to it away before sticking it into his mouth. “But I also like you clean and you are, and I’m sorry for saying this, a mess right now.”

“Thought you liked that,” he retorted with an accompanying wiggle of his eyebrows.

“I do yeah, but not when you’re covered in raw eggs, flour, cake batter and frosting.”

“Okay, okay, point taken,” he sighed deeply as he held his hands up to indicate that he was going to let it go. For now. “But I could always leave some of the edible bits on so you could lick them off later though,” he added with a wide and naughty grin.

“Absolutely not.” You pushed him out of the kitchen and in the direction of the bathroom. “If you want me to eat stuff off you, buy some Cool Whip.”

“Kinky!” Eddie laughed when your hand came down on his ass to give it a firm squeeze before he rounded the corner. “I’m not forgetting about that by the way,” he called out before closing the door behind him.

“Didn’t think you would,” you answered.

Part of you already knew that he’d run out to buy some the next morning and that at one point during the day you would end up finding him in the bedroom with the stuff lathered all over himself. You made a mental note to remember to put either a towel or a box of tissues in the bedroom tomorrow just in case, because you had a feeling that things could get messy.

But that was a problem for later. You had to deal with something else right now.

The kitchen was such a mess that you barely even knew where to begin, but the first thing that your eye fell on was a small notebook, one that Eddie always had on him, folded open to a page with a recipe that was written in handwriting that was much nicer than Eddie’s was, not to mention legible.

Chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting.

His little notebook was a closely guarded secret, something that your mortal eyes would not be able to comprehend (his words right before he had shielded it from you by holding a throw pillow in front of it). He used it to jot down notes for D&D campaigns, ideas that he got for lyrics, or whatever else that came to mind that he judged important enough to write down, so the fact that he used it for a recipe that he had procured for you was pretty meaningful.

This was quite possibly the sweetest thing that he had ever done, going through all this trouble for you by doing something that was completely alien to him, since he didn’t think that he was much of a cook. It wasn’t that he didn’t do it, it’s just that his repertoire seemed to be limited to heating up canned foods.

Lost in thought, you had barely even scratched the surface in concerns of the mess that Eddie had made, only managing to put several things in the sink and getting rid of the eggshells, when he reappeared again in a pair of black sweatpants with an old Iron Maiden shirt. If it wasn't for his wet hair, which was soaking the fabric of his shirt, you might have been inclined to think that he hadn’t washed himself at all.

“Did you just stick your head under the tap?”

“No. I took a shower, just like you asked.” He stepped in close enough so that you could smell the soap on his skin. “I just didn’t want you to clean my mess.”

“I don’t mind.”

“You always say that,” he groaned with obvious frustration. “Just let me do it.”

“We can do it together.” You held out a wet cloth to him, which he was eying reluctantly, simply because he felt that you weren’t supposed to help clean up the mess that he had made. “Is that a good compromise?”

“You’re not gonna let this go, are you?”

“Nope,” you popped the ‘p’ for emphasis. “I insist.”

“So I basically have no choice.”

“Pretty much.”

“Okay, whatever.” Seeing that he had lost the discussion, he admitted defeat and finally took the cloth from your hands. “Help me clean then.”

Cleaning together was a lot faster than if he had gone at it alone and before you knew it, all the surfaces were wiped clean, the dishes had been done and were drying in the dish rack, and most importantly of all, the cupcakes were finally in the oven.

“See? That didn’t take too long, now did it?”

“You weren’t supposed to help though.”

That much was kind of made clear to you while the two of you were cleaning. There were little looks that Eddie threw in your direction, whenever he seemed to think that you weren’t looking, that seemed to indicate that he was less than pleased with your help. His expressions were also somewhat… pained at times? It didn’t make a lot of sense and only made you think about why he was even acting like this to begin with.

“I genuinely don’t mind. I wasn’t going to sit and watch you clean, you know that.” You took his hand, pulled him along in the direction of the couch and gestured at him to sit. “Now. What’s this about anyway?”

“What do you mean?” Eddie immediately started fidgeting, even more so than usual, and his leg started bouncing anxiously. “I was trying to do something nice for you.”

Something was obviously bothering him. It’s not that you didn’t appreciate that he had done all this, because you really really did but there was a reason behind this and you’d keep picking at him all night if you had to.

“Excellent deflecting. I’ll get it out of you somehow,” you replied with certainty.

Leaving him on the couch, you stepped back into the kitchen to check the oven and to get something to drink. Eddie had even splurged on the soda by buying something that wasn’t store brand and therefore cheaper. It was amazing how he had managed to plan all of this without giving anything away.

“We appear to have run out of nice cups.” Instead you held up a red plastic cup that you found earlier in one of the cupboards. “So is this okay?”

“We don’t have any nice cups,” he replied without missing a beat.

“How dare you,” you clutched at your chest, pretending to be aghast at his statement. “That Star Wars cup is the best thing that we own.”

“Oh yeah, of course it is.” He rolled his eyes when you mentioned your favorite cup. You were always waving it in his face whenever you needed a quick laugh. “You’re just saying that because you have a thing for Han Solo.”

“You’re just jealous that they didn’t have one with Leia on it.” You handed him his drink and settled in next to him on the couch. Nudging your shoulder into him, you asked, “Now, tell me, why did you do all this?”

“Is it a crime to want to do something nice for you?”

“No, of course it’s n-”

“So why are you interrogating me?”

“Because I know you.” 

Eddie avoided your gaze and ran a hand down his face, because of course you’d be able to tell. He knew that he should have thought up some convincing excuse beforehand, but it was too late for that now and the chances that he’d successfully make up something on the fly were practically nonexistent.

Silence fell and for a second there, you thought that he wouldn’t tell you at all, that he would end up brushing it off, as if he was embarrassed to tell you the real reason, which was simply ridiculous. So what was it?

“I wanted to impress you,” he finally admitted softly and pulled you out of your train of thought. “Just once.”

His confession bewildered you and you genuinely didn’t know what to say. You had no idea that he had even felt this way, but you obviously needed to mend this situation since your actions seemed to have inadvertently caused this.

You liked taking care of Eddie, perhaps a little bit too much, and it seemed to have caused him to think that you didn’t need his help at all, which couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

“Eddie, that’s not- hey, look at me.” You cupped his face with your hands until his sad eyes, which were usually filled with so much warmth, finally focused back on you. “I’m already impressed.”

“You’re always looking after me, but I don’t do much,” he sighed dejectedly. “And I’m like the worst cook ever.”

"Aw, don't be like that. That’s not even true," you declared. “Your cooking is fine.”

“Don’t lie.”

“No one can make SpaghettiOs better than you can.”

“Ha, ha.” He tried to sound annoyed, but missed the mark completely when he (accidentally) laughed in earnest. It made him clear his throat in a very poor attempt to hide it. “Very funny.”

“Still made you laugh.” You poked a finger into one of his dimples until he jerked his head away with an even bigger grin than before. “I always like it when you make me breakfast.”

“That’s nothing special,” he shrugged. “Just buttered toast and fruit juice.”

“So? I like it just fine.” Seeing him act so dejectedly over feeling inadequate was breaking your heart and you felt like an idiot for never noticing it before. “Just take the compliment, please. You do enough. Trust me.”

“Doesn’t feel like it.”

“You want me to give examples? Okay, how about when my car broke down and you dropped everything to come pick me up.” It was the first example that came to mind and you could see a spark of amusement in his eyes when you reminded him. “Dustin wouldn’t talk to me for about a week because I ruined your D&D night.”

“The little shit only forgave you when I threatened to kill off his bard,” he laughed. “As if I was going to leave my girl at some seedy gas station in the middle of the night.”

“It was nine, still light out, and mister Jenkins was fine with me hanging out with him until the tow truck showed up.”

“Of course he was fine with it. Have you seen you?” His hand came down on your thigh, giving you a soft squeeze, since the sheer memory of that night ignited a spark of possessiveness inside him. “I don’t trust him.”

“The man’s at least seventy, Eddie!”

“So?” He said very matter of factly, as if it made perfect sense for Eddie to act so territorial around someone that posed no threat whatsoever. “He’s still a guy and I didn’t like how he was looking at you when I got there.”

“Oh yeah? You’d beat up an old man to defend my honor?”

“Babe, I would beat anyone up to defend your honor.”

“And that’s how you take care of me,” you replied resolutely, because he had just proven your point. “You’d take on the whole world for me.”

“I have to. You’re my girl.” Hearing those words were enough to make your heart swell about three sizes in your chest and you managed to catch him off guard when you pressed your lips against his for a quick kiss. “What was that for?”

“For being you,” you sighed contentedly as you rested your head against his shoulder. “That’s why I love you.”

“I love you too.” He put his arm around you and attempted to pull you even closer into his side. “Let me try this again. How about a romantic evening with me, your loving boyfriend, while I fully intend to feed you the cupcakes that I made all by myself, and maybe then we can watch a movie?”

“What movie?”

He pressed his lips into your hairline, suddenly embarrassed, and mumbled, “A Room with a View.”

“Really?” It made you pull away from him, wide eyed and excited, so you could see his face and found that he was dead serious. “You didn’t!” you exclaimed in surprise. 

“I did,” he confirmed. “You should have seen Harrington’s face.”

“It’s not really your kind of movie.” Eddie’s taste in movies was fairly unique to put it mildly. He had a penchant for loving the ones that were unbelievably bad. “You must have really shocked him for not renting something shittier.”

“Hey, there’s nothing wrong with Hard Rock Zombies.”

“Oh my god,” you groaned when you remembered that particular movie. “Or Slumber Party Massacre, which you called an ‘underrated classic’ if I recall correctly?”

“It is! My tastes are just too high end for you and I accepted that shortcoming in you years ago-“

“Hey!”

“Let me finish.” It was his turn to place his index finger over your lips to ensure your silence this time around. “So yeah, I could have rented one of those masterpieces, but I didn’t because this is your night and this one came highly recommended by Robin. So, babe, would you do me the honor of watching this movie with me?”

“I would love to.”

“That’s what I thought,” he said with a self satisfied smile. “So just sit here and look pretty while I get everything ready, okay?”

“I shall eagerly await your return.” Eddie took your hand, kissed the back of it and let it slip from his grasp as he went back to the kitchen. “You’re such a dork.”

“Your dork,” he corrected. “And don’t you forget it.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t,” you confirmed.

And you wouldn’t. He was your guy after all.

Robert Kime, la maison-monde

"Les trésors d'au-delà des mers afflueront vers toi"

Robert Kime exerçait le métier d'antiquaire. Son travail consistait à parcourir le monde à la recherche d'objets de mobilier artisanal rare pour revenir les installer dans l'écrin de la rigueur londonienne qui lui était familier. Monsieur Kime avait trouvé la sprezzatura du logement en le rendant chaleureux sans qu'il ait l'air professionnellement décoré. Son style est le plus abouti de la catégorie "foyer colonial", un genre qui évoque les vies romanesques antérieures au tourisme, où le doux foyer du voyageur ancien s'enrichissait de trouvailles durement acquises au fur et à mesure des retours de pays lointains. Chaque salle exprime ici en miniature quelque chose d'impérial, chaque élément décoratif est la strate d'une sédimentation patiente, chaque objet concourt à former un vaste cabinet de curiosités. Lorsqu'un coin de salon abrite plusieurs continents et plusieurs époques, le terme de musée vient à l'esprit. Plutôt que d'être statufié, le passé est ici habité. Installé dans une demeure il peuple l'arrière-plan de la vie quotidienne d'une famille, il accompagne un foyer tourné vers l'avenir, il est témoin du passage des jeunes de l'enfance à l'âge adulte, des allées et venues, des éclats de rire, des grands départs et des réconfortants retours. Les intérieurs Robert Kime ont une âme.

Le style d'habitat fixé par Robert Kime était courant chez la bourgeoisie du 20ème siècle. La peau de panthère au milieu des boiseries victoriennes, nous voyons cela dans Tintin, Blake & Mortimer, c'est une image d'Épinal. Ralph Lauren Home a puisé tardivement mais abondamment à cette source. Les appartements meublés dans ce goût éclectique étaient courants chez les diplomates, médecins coloniaux, antiquaires, marchands au long cours, collectionneurs, officiers de marine, anciens expatriés et autres catégories sociales baroques qui faisaient le charme des beaux-quartiers. La maison selon Kime est une maison coloniale placée en Europe pour qu'elle raconte le monde entier. Accomplissement des promesses messianiques, elle est la salle du trône où les richesses du monde ont afflué : tapis iraniens, carapaces de tortue des Maldives, vases chinois, instruments de musique indonésiens, estampes japonaises, table de changeur byzantin, bas-reliefs moghols, fragment d'ostrakon athénien. Jalonnées de mobilier occidental plus sobre, ces raretés rassemblées en un même lieu offrent un panorama de provenances et d'époques. Kime est l'assembleur d'une beauté composite comme les parties juxtaposées d'un vitrail, il est le découvreur de l'harmonie entre des tons, des volumes, des grammages que tout séparait.

Transportés en navire de fort tonnage à travers les tempêtes, débarqués par les dockers, les exigences du plaisir esthétique supposent une rude logistique. À Mayfair, Chelsea, Marylebone, à Jasmin, Trocadéro, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, l'honnête homme faisait de son foyer un résumé du monde où chaque mètre carré chantait la légende coloniale. "Saïgon", "Macassar" ou "Singapour", sont des mots teintés d'une telle force évocatrice que, prononcés pour qualifier la provenances des objets dans un appartement donnant sur un boulevard venteux, ils suffisaient à rappeler la position heureuse où la Providence avait placé votre petite nation capable d'en administrer d'autres situées à cinq semaines de bateau.

La maison de famille est elle aussi devenue universelle. Le monde est venu à elle, tandis que son génie local, occidental, s'est étendu au monde. La maisonnée en a rapporté les nectars les plus purs, chacun d'entre eux exprimant l'intégralité des sucs d'une cité étrangère, d'une histoire, d'un peuple. Toute cosmopolite qu'elle soit, la maison Robert Kime est une maison européenne d'abord, universelle ensuite.

Ne pas se fier aux apparences. Des richesses autrement précieuses que de menus chiffons gisent en ces demeures. Chaque motif de chaque étoffe provient de traditions anciennes, de savoirs-faire délaissés, de palais sauvés des orages d'acier du 20ème siècle. Le damas, le Jouy, l'arabesque, le point d'Alençon, ont chacun leur signification profonde. Le paisley par exemple ne figure-t-il pas la larme du Boudha dans une tradition antérieure de 800 ans à notre ère, et transmise par des générations d'artisans indo-aryens ? La maison Robert Kime c'est la petite Europe maintenue au sommet de sa forme, si haut qu'elle peut voir l'intégralité du monde, et le donner à voir.

Monsieur Kime a eu des goûts sûrs et des dégoûts encore plus sûrs, il était connu pour exprimer en public des opinions tranchées (il n'était donc pas un gentleman). En un temps de désastreux designers Monsieur Kime persistait disait-il, à "faire des intérieurs pour qu'ils soient habités, non pour qu'ils soient regardés". La dualité radicale de l'ergonomie et du design est ancienne or il existe une ergonomie de l'habitat qui la réconcilie c'est cet ameublement smart, terme jailli des fontaines de l'intuition qui se traduit chez nous par "intelligent", mais encore par "joli", "élégant", et "fonctionnel". L'accord gracieux du fond et de la forme, du principe et de l'exécution, tient en un mot.

À l'origine de cette passion pour la beauté on trouve dans l'enfance de cet homme un modèle familial menacé, puis l'équilibre trouvé à l'adolescence dans la stabilité du foyer de son beau-père, un lieu embelli de fournitures curieuses rapportées de l'Inde à l'époque de sa grandeur. "J'essaie de créer une atmosphère dont j'ai été privé enfant. Tout est là, c'est une histoire d'atmosphère". Il fut un jeune homme précoce mais inadapté, connut Oxford, les années 1960, la charnière entre une Europe productrice, religieuse, éduquée, et le monde moderne passif, consommateur, avide de loisirs.

Au terme de l'université, Sotheby's lui offre un emploi mais Kime se retrouve à la tête de sa propre boutique par la rencontre fortuite d'une héritière qui cherchait un antiquaire pour l'aider à vendre sa collection de famille. En 1970, il épouse Helen Nicoll, auteur de livres pour enfants, et le couple s'installe dans une ancienne école gothique. La propriété est si vaste que Robert Kime y ouvre un commerce d'antiquités spécialisé dans les objets antérieurs à 1700. "Chaque salle doit commencer par un tapis" sera sa devise, ainsi commenceront les premiers voyages en Egypte et en Turquie pour y trouver des textiles anciens.

En pleine dégringolade libérale-libertaire 1970, alors que la transmission s'effondrait, quelques rares passionnés remontaient la source. Ce parcours eut pour Kime deux étapes. Sa première période antiquaire lui enseigna les étoffes, objets et motifs issus des colonies qui venaient de fermer. Dans sa seconde période, la plus hardie et la plus belle, il devint en 1988 fabricant de ces objets, aussi la production d'ornements tombés en désuétude trouva par cette initiative une résurrection.

Les créateurs compétents sont en général formés d'une base de culture classique à laquelle ils ajoutent peu à peu des apports exogènes. Peu nombreux, ils sont des hommes ordonnés, configurés à un ordre supérieur, à un Surmoi qui leur enseigne le bon usage en toutes choses, et s'ils extravaguent parfois ils ne transgressent jamais. Chez les hommes de goût la seule faute grave est la faute de goût.

Le grand désarroi des gens riches: comment dépenser l'argent. How to spend it est d'ailleurs le titre d'un mensuel catalogue à snobismes hors de prix. L'éducation du goût permet des économies, et une conduite de vie où s'enrichir et dépenser concernent l'esprit aussi. Les hommes seront davantage portés à l'héllenisme s'ils ont côtoyé enfant chez leur parent un buste d'Athéna.

L'offre d'ameublement pour la bourgeoisie a versé depuis la fin des année 1980 dans l'asepsie de loft Patrick Bateman, dans la cuisine et salle d'eau de style "bloc opératoire", dans l'armoire en métal, dans le noir et blanc. L'épure était chez les mondains une aubaine pour fuir dans l'abstrait, une transposition concrète d'un rapport au monde imposé. Le lissage des textures, la granulométrie faible, visaient à présenter un visage objectif, glissant, neutre. Les européens avaient soudain honte de tout charme qui leur soit spécifique et c'étaient les débuts de l'art-robot, anti-local, anti-artiste. Certains historiens avaient compris que 1945 serait une épuration non pas ponctuelle mais le prélude à une épuration continuelle. Épurer les lignes du mobilier était une manière d'offrir des surfaces où un coup ne peut que ricocher. Passion nouvelle, il fallait ne laisser nulle prise à la critique, n'être jamais soupçonné pour ses goûts de quelque intention condamnable. Qu'est-ce que nos intérieurs sinon les lapsus de nos intentions profondes? Un chez-soi, c'est soi-même rendu lisible par les autres. Une époque de toute-puissance du second degré dans les invitations à dîner commençait, langage de l'équivoque et du compromis, grammaire de toutes les servitudes. Ne pas nommer, ne pas assumer, ne pas penser. Patrick Bateman est l'archétype du mondain lisse, au point qu'il est contraint de chercher une soupape dans la violence, au point d'épurer L'Épuration elle-même pour pouvoir la supporter.

Robert Kime s'est consacré au parti-pris, au subjectif, au palpable qui se donne tel qu'en soi-même, il a pris le risque du ridicule et a triomphé par la beauté. Ne dit-on pas d'un travail très réussi qu'il est "désarmant"? Ainsi de ces arrangements mobiliers qui tombent sous le sens au point qu'ils renvoient même le second degré dans son repaire, complètement battu. En une époque de showroom publicitaire Robert Kime a osé la ligne courbe, le matériau noble, la texture granuleuse présente au toucher. En une époque de grisaille et de conformisme Robert Kime reste la solution idéale pour colorer son intérieur en lui conservant un goût parfait.

KEEPER OF THE GLISTENING SEA - a merman!elliott x plus-sized!reader love story

01. LIGHT IN THE NIGHT

word count: 2.6k

warnings: mentions of shady capitalistic schemes (joja, duh!), one-off mention of psychedelics/hallucinogens

summary: it’s time for you to learn the ways of the lighthouse from willy, the expert of all things sea-related. you befriend a few residents of pelican town and find yourself easing into the groove of the valley. but what’s that flash of red you keep seeing at night?

author’s note: i wrote this like an hour after the prologue so enjoy <3

The incessant gawking of seagulls startled you awake before the crack of dawn. You grumbled a curse to yourself at their volume and tried to fall back asleep. Of course, that was a waste, as the seagulls continued to shriek at one another. Defeated, you kicked the covers off your body and pulled yourself out of bed, the woody floor creaking loudly under your bare feet. You soon dragged your exhausted body into the tiny bathroom and began your morning routine.

Halfway through brushing your teeth after your shower, you heard rapid knocking on your door. You exited the bathroom and opened the front door, revealing an older man with a greying beard and a brown cap, “Ahoy,” he greeted you, “Name’s Willy. Benny informed me that you arrived yesterday.”

“Willy!” you mumbled aloud, pulling the toothbrush out your mouth, “It’s, uh,” you realized that you were still in your pajamas and with terrible bedhead, “Wish we could’ve met when I was more… dressed.”

“No need to fret,” he reassured you, “I’ve seen worse, such as the time I caught the mayor in his lucky purple shorts,” the fisherman jested. He then held out a white box to you, “I just wanted to deliver you yer uniform, I got dear Emily making a few spares in the meantime.”

You took the box from his hands, surprised by its weight. Willy tipped his cap to you, “I’ll see you in an hour,” and walked off towards the nearby docks, where you noticed a small shop perched on it. You waved him off and shut the door behind you, eager to see your uniform. Gently, you unboxed the package, pulled out each part of your uniform, and fully assembled it on the dining table. Your face grew hot at the design of the uniform, a cross between traditional lighthouse keeper's attire and the kind of seafarer outfit someone would purchase for a Spirit’s Eve party.

The top half of your uniform was pretty fine, consisting of a white button shirt with a navy blue suit vest and matching suit jacket. Yet, it was the bottom half that made your palms sweaty. The pants, while appropriate for the warmer seasons, were high-waisted black shorts, adorn with three metallic buttons on each side. At least, the pants were the only real issue you had, the provided knee high socks and sturdy docker shoes not being much of an issue. You looked back at the pants and let out a frustrated huff before returning to your morning routine.

You stood before the wall hung mirror on your bathroom door in your new uniform, trying to break it in a bit before work. It caught you off guard how good it fit you, especially the pants. You adjusted your hat, navy blue with the symbol of the valley’s pride and joy- the Stardrop- in the center. Almost like the keeper’s uniform from hundreds years ago, you fiddled with your uniform, Except mine’s… more twink-ish.

You checked the time on your phone, thankfully able to get service from the one cell tower in the valley, Oh! It’s time.

After double-checking that you had everything you needed for your big day, you made your way out of the cabin and towards the lighthouse, only a few feet away. Outside its entrance, Willy was nursing a cigar, he quickly sniffed its flame upon your arrival, “Ahoy, again,” the fisherman pulled out a large ring of keys and selected the shiniest one, “Thank you for being timely, laddie, I do appreciate it,” he unlocked the door to the lighthouse, “Follow me and do be listening to all my blabbering.”

You followed Willy into the lighthouse, the door slowly closing behind you. A soft whistle escaped your lips at the interior, just as sleek as Benny described it in his letter. Yet, you couldn’t admire its shininess for long, as Willy began reviewing the basics of lighthouse keeping while walking up the spiral staircase, “Usually, it be up to a member of the Ferngill Republic Coast Guard or Navy to man a lighthouse such as this beaut, but given the ongoing war, not many are available to take this job.”

“How come I got it?” you asked, “In all honesty, I have very little experience with this kinda thing.”

“Oh, I’m aware,” chuckled the fisherman, “The mayor wanted me to do it since I’m a retired member of the Navy,” his footsteps thumped against the stairs, “But I already have my hands full at my shop. That’s when yer cousin told us that you had the guts to take it on,” the older man stopped upon making it to the main mechanical floor of the lighthouse, “And the fact that you be the strongest swimmer he knows.”

You raised your eyebrows, “What does good swimming have to do with maintaining a lighthouse?”

Willy cracked a small smile, “You be surprised. When out on these waters, yer ability to swim be the divide between making it home for supper or sinking to the bottom.”

You pressed your lips together, still not comprehending his words. Nonetheless, Willy moved onto explaining the basic functions of the lighthouse and your duties. To your joy, your main responsibilities were cleaning the light and troubleshooting its automated systems when necessary, “Thankfully, ‘is not like the old days where a keeper had to maintain the wicks of the lighthouse,” stated Willy, “The system is set up to do most of the work for you.”

He showcased the various dashboards of equipment, detailing each of their purposes. You made sure to take notes while he explained, not wanting to break any of the obviously expensive equipment. By the time you finished your tour with Willy, you were utterly drained, lighthouse terminology bouncing around your head like ping pong balls. Willy flashed you a toothy grin, “You’re doing well, laddie. This won’t be too hard for you and I’ll be here to train you for the next week and so.”

“Oh, that’s good to hear,” you relaxed your posture, relieved to hear that you weren’t being thrown to the wolves- or sharks, in this case- already.

“Report here tomorrow by dawn, laddie. We got a lot of work on our hands! Other than, you be free to enjoy the rest of your day,” Willy laughed, giving you a gingerly pat on the back before making his way to the bottom of the lighthouse. You copied his move and headed outside, grateful that you could change out of your uniform. Back in the cabin, you swapped your uniform for a comfy muscle tee and some shorts, collapsing on your bed. You checked the time again, that took FIVE hours? you gawked at the change in time. A groan fell from your lips, “It’s not even noon and I’ll already tired.”

Not wanting to succumb to your exhaustion, you switched your focus on unpacking your belongings. It only took an hour or so to fully unpack, you didn’t bring that much with you. For the final touch, you placed your photo frames on the dresser; one of you and Benny as kids at the beach and another of your mother holding your toddler self. You weren’t sure why you kept those photos for all those years, but you were now grateful that you did.

A knock on your door suddenly caught your attention, “Willy?” you questioned when you opened the door.

“Nope, it’s me,” your cousin greeted you, “I take it you wrapped up your tour with dear old William, huh?” they were covered in dirt and reeked of something tangy but ultimately nasty.

“Yeah,” you pinched your noise, “Why do you smell so… so putrid?”

Benny sniffled his shirt, “Sorry, I’ve gotten nose blind to the smells of the farm. You might be smelling my homemade fertilizer.”

“Yeah, that’s,” you tried not to gag at the smell, “That’s probably why I’m smelling.”

“You’ll get used to it,” snorted Benny, “The whole town has,” he gestured to the pathway to the community you came to know as Pelican Town, “Speaking of the town, I thought I’d swing by and get you acquainted with the residents!”

You grimaced, “Are you sure that I have to talk to them?” They didn’t seem so welcoming.

Benny crossed their arms, “Yes, yes you do,” before offering you a hand. Hesitantly, you grasped it and allowed your cousin to drag you off to Pelican Town. It appeared to be a busy day, as groups of people wandered about the main area of town. Benny, the extrovert of you two, waved at the group closest to you, an elderly couple, “Hi Evelyn! Hi George!”

The woman, Evelyn, wore her smile like it was made of pearls, absolutely radiating positive joy, “Oh, hello, dear! It’s so nice to see you!”

The man, George, on the other hand? He seemed to be the exact opposite of his counterpart, sporting a bitter frown, “Mmpf! Ben, it’s too early for your hollering!”

“Sorry, George,” your cousin placated the grump with a bowing nod, “I want to introduce you two to my cousin, (Y/N).”

“Oh, goodness!” proclaimed Evelyn, “I remember you! You were just a munchkin the last time I saw you, oh how big you’ve gotten, my dear.”

You winced a bit at the word big, but promptly shook it off, knowing that she wasn’t referring to you by your weight but rather your overall growth. Evelyn resumed her chatter, “I used to bring homemade cookies and lemonade to you both when you would stay with Charlie for the summer. I’m so glad you’re well, sweetie.”

“Thank you, Evelyn,” you gave her a small nod and an awkward smile. Meanwhile, George huffed and commented, “I remember you, too. You were quite the troublemaker, you nearly destroyed my TV set!”

Benny concealed a snort of laughter and you did the same, thinking back to the time you visited the Mullners’ house and nearly ran straight into the TV while being chased by Benny and the Mullners’ grandson, Alex. I wonder if Alex’s alright, you thought to yourself; you’ve seen him in years, surely he was off in a city somewhere doing something.

“It’s nice to meet you, uh,” you held back a playful snicker, “Again, George.”

“Well, we should be off!” your cousin diffused the situation and whisked you off to another group of townies before George could run you down with his wheelchair.

Throughout the afternoon, Benny introduced you to the various residents of Pelican Town, from the carpenter Robin and her family to the general owner Pierre and his family. Everyone in town had such a bizarre energy about them, but you found yourself most comfortable with Robin’s son Sebastian and Pierre’s daughter Abigail. They were the closest to you in age and you could relate to them as a fellow “weird” person, as you were quite a fan of the occult like Abigail and of Solarian Chronicles: The Game like Sebastian. Soon, you were introduced to Sam, another member of the “weird kids” clubs in Pelican Town, who fancied himself a musician. You spent the remainder of the day getting to know the three of them, as you all longued about the rec room of The Stardrop Saloon, owned by a kind moustached man named Gus.

“It’s really cool that you moved here, (Y/N),” mused the purple-haired girl to you, “Don’t get me wrong, your cousin is cool and all but they’re too focused on their farm work to really hang out like this with us.”

“Yeah, that makes sense,” you acknowledged, “Kinda glad I didn’t inherit the farm then.”

“Oh yeah, what’s with that?” Sam piped up, “Is it like an age thing that determined it?”

You unknowingly shifted your body away from the trio, “Yeah, something like that.”

“You don’t seem like the farm type, anyway,” stated Sebastian. You tensed up, “You think so?”

“Yeah,” he sunk deeper into the couch, “You seem like you don’t give a rat’s ass about the boring logistics of it all, I know from Benny that being a farmer requires you to wear too many professional hats.”

“You’re totally right about that,” you laughed, letting go out of the tension in your body, At least he didn’t call me too fat for manual labor. Trust me, I’m more than capable of doing it. you kept your thoughts to yourself.

“I’m gonna grab us some drinks!” the blond next to you exclaimed, “What does everyone want?”

“Joja Cola,” was Abigail’s order.

“Beer,” replied Sebastian.

Sam looked at you curiously, “And you?”

“Oh, uh,” you squeezed the loose ends of your tee, “Just water will be fine.”

“Okie dokie, be right back!” the musician skipped off to the bar to grab the drinks. Sam returned shortly after and passed out the drinks, having gotten himself a Joja Cola. With drink in hand, he raised it to the ceiling, “I propose a toast!”

“A toast?” you adjusted you grip on your glass of ice cold water.

“Yeah! To you moving to the valley,” elaborated Sam. Abigail smiled and held her drink up, followed by Sebastian. You did the same, all four drinks pointing at the ceiling.

“To (Y/N), may they find success in the valley!” Sam toasted.

“To (Y/N)!” Abigail followed.

“To (Y/N),” Sebastian add on.

“To me!” you exclaimed.

The four of you clinked glasses and cans together; feelings of joy and peace bubbled in your stomach, as dusk passed and the night went on. You didn’t have many friends back in your hometown and you most definitely didn’t have any in ZuZu City so this was a nice change of pace.

A new beginning, your cousin’s words crossed your mind. You smiled to yourself, A new beginning.

You found yourself back on the shore outside your cabin, nursing another cup of melatonin. Your new friends unfortunately had to depart for home sooner than expected, Sebastian and Sam having work in the morning and Abigail having to study for a class of hers. Nonetheless, you were beyond grateful to have befriended them, happy to have a chance to socialize with like minded peers. Like your first night in the valley, the ocean waves were almost hypnotic in their movement, you felt yourself grow sleepy just from watching them.

Then it happened, you noticed a flash of red, just like the night before. You rose from the ground and walked closer to the shoreline, squinting out into the distance to see if you could locate the possible buoy responsible for the flash of red. Yet, much to your confusion, there was no buoy in sight. You looked down at your cup of tea, “Do I need to switch brands?” you muttered aloud. It was Joja Doz-ja Melatonin Tea and Joja was known for their shady shortcuts, it wouldn’t be that much of a shocker if their tea contained psychedelic or hallucinogenic ingredients.

Another flash of red darted across your eyes, earning an exasperated grunt from you. You downed the rest of your tea and stomped to bed, not wanting to entertain the potential hallucination you were having. Thankfully, with the magic of Joja Doz-ja Melatonin Tea, you were out like a light and sleeping the night away.

In the midst of twilight, your supposed halluncation was perched upon a nearby rock. Long ginger hair clung its form like seaweed, as it flapped its tail against the rock.

“Come back soon,” the creature whispered into the darkness, its deep seafoam eyes twinkling like stars in the sky.

Staging on a VPS: Safely Preview Changes Before Going Live

🧪 How to Build a Staging Environment Using Your VPS

Safely test changes before going live — the smart way.

If you're running a website, web app, or SaaS project, you know the pain of broken layouts, buggy features, or downtime after updates. That’s where a staging environment comes in — a replica of your live website where you can test everything before going public.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up a reliable staging environment using your VPS hosting (ideal if you're hosted with VCCLHOSTING).

🧠 What Is a Staging Environment?

A staging environment is a testing ground — separate from your production (live) server — that simulates the real-world environment of your website or app. You can use it to:

Test design updates, new features, or plugin installs

Preview major code or content changes

Troubleshoot performance and security

Collaborate with your dev or QA team

Avoid downtime or user experience issues

🛠️ Why Use a VPS for Staging?

Using a VPS (Virtual Private Server) gives you:

Root access for full control

Dedicated resources (RAM, CPU)

Ability to isolate staging from live environment

Freedom to run multiple domains/subdomains or even container-based staging setups

💡 Tip: If you're using VCCLHOSTING, you can easily configure multiple environments on a single VPS or request an additional one at discounted rates for dev/testing purposes.

🧰 Tools You’ll Need

A VPS with Linux (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS)

Web server: Apache or NGINX

PHP, MySQL/MariaDB stack (or your app’s language/runtime)

Optional: Git, Docker, cPanel, or phpMyAdmin

Domain/subdomain for staging (e.g., staging.yoursite.com)

🔧 Steps to Build a Staging Environment

1. Create a Subdomain or Separate Directory

Subdomain method: Set up staging.yourdomain.com in your DNS settings Point it to a new virtual host directory on your VPS

Folder method: Use a separate folder like /var/www/html/staging

✅ If you use cPanel or DirectAdmin (available on VCCLHOSTING), this can be done with a few clicks.

2. Clone Your Production Site

Manually copy your website files (via SFTP, rsync, or Git)

Export your live database and import it to a new one (e.g., staging_db)

Update configuration files:

Database credentials

Site URL paths (e.g., in WordPress: update wp-config.php and wp_options table)

3. Add Security

You don’t want Google indexing your staging site or hackers testing exploits.

Use .htpasswd to password-protect the staging directory

Block indexing via robots.txt

Restrict IP addresses if needed

Use HTTPS (let's Encrypt SSL or clone your live certificate)

4. Use Version Control (Recommended)

Set up Git to manage your staging deployments:

bashCopy

Edit

git clone https://github.com/yourrepo/project.git

This allows your devs to push to staging for testing before merging to live.

5. Test Your Changes in Staging First

Always use staging to:

Apply plugin/theme updates

Run database migrations

Test performance under simulated load

QA user flows, logins, carts, or contact forms

Once everything works in staging, deploy to live using:

Git-based CI/CD

Manual sync

Hosting control panel tools (e.g., Softaculous staging)

🤖 Bonus: Automate Staging with Docker or Containers

If you manage multiple apps, use Docker Compose or Kubernetes to quickly spin up isolated environments on your VPS.

Example with Docker Compose:

yamlCopy

Edit

version: '3' services: app: image: php:8.1-apache volumes: - ./code:/var/www/html ports: - "8081:80"

🛡️ Staging Environments with VCCLHOSTING

With VCCLHOSTING VPS, you get:

Full root access to configure staging as needed

Support for Linux or Windows environments

Optional cPanel/DirectAdmin for GUI-based staging

Local data center in Kolhapur for low-latency testing

Backup & restore tools to sync between live and staging

🧠 Final Thoughts

A staging environment isn’t just for big companies — it’s for anyone who cares about uptime, stability, and professionalism. Whether you're running a SaaS project or an eCommerce store, setting up staging on your VPS saves time, avoids downtime, and helps you launch with confidence.

Redefining Digital Transformation with Cloud Native Application Development

In a world driven by digital acceleration, enterprises are under constant pressure to innovate faster, deliver more personalized user experiences, and stay operationally resilient. Traditional software models are simply not agile enough to meet these growing demands. This is where cloud native application development is stepping in as a game-changer.

Cloud native is not just a buzzword—it’s a fundamental shift in how applications are built and deployed. It empowers organizations to move away from monolithic legacy systems and embrace a model that prioritizes speed, scalability, automation, and flexibility.

Understanding the Cloud Native Approach

Cloud native application development involves designing software that is specifically optimized for cloud environments from the ground up. Instead of being hosted in a static environment, these applications are built using microservices, deployed in containers, orchestrated by platforms like Kubernetes, and integrated with DevOps practices.

This approach allows for frequent releases, minimal downtime, and seamless scaling, regardless of the infrastructure provider or the nature of user demand.

Why Cloud Native Matters More Than Ever

The demand for digital-first solutions has grown across industries. Customers expect seamless, responsive services that evolve constantly. Cloud native architecture allows organizations to deliver on these expectations with:

Rapid Deployment: Releases can happen weekly, daily, or even hourly without disruption.

Fault Tolerance: Failures are isolated and contained without bringing down the entire system.

Elasticity: Automatically scale resources up or down depending on traffic.

Agility: Teams can develop, test, and deploy features independently, leading to faster innovation.

Cloud native isn’t about moving existing applications to the cloud—it’s about rethinking how applications are built for the cloud, by design.

Core Technologies Driving Cloud Native Applications

Let’s explore the key components that make cloud native development successful:

1. Microservices

Applications are split into smaller, independent components that communicate via APIs. Each microservice is responsible for a specific business capability and can be updated or scaled independently.

2. Containers

Tools like Docker package code and dependencies into portable units that can run consistently across development, staging, and production environments.

3. Orchestration Tools

Kubernetes and similar platforms handle the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, ensuring high availability and resource optimization.

4. DevOps & CI/CD

Automation tools integrate development and operations, streamlining code integration, testing, and deployment, reducing manual intervention and errors.

5. Observability Tools

Monitoring, logging, and tracing solutions provide visibility into system behavior, making it easier to detect and resolve issues quickly.

Industries Benefiting from Cloud Native Innovation

Cloud native development is transforming operations across a wide array of industries:

Retail: Enable real-time inventory tracking, personalized promotions, and seamless checkout experiences.

Banking: Improve security, scalability, and compliance for high-volume financial applications.

Healthcare: Facilitate better data sharing, telemedicine capabilities, and patient engagement tools.

Logistics: Optimize supply chains with real-time data analytics and smart routing systems.

Media: Scale content delivery based on viewership demand without service degradation.

Benefits of Moving to Cloud Native

Organizations making the switch to cloud native gain access to a host of business advantages: BenefitDescriptionFaster InnovationIndependent service updates mean new features reach users faster.Improved ResilienceFailure in one part doesn’t affect the whole system.Operational EfficiencyAutomation reduces overhead and boosts productivity.Enhanced Customer ExperienceReliable, always-on services improve user satisfaction.Vendor IndependenceWork across multiple cloud platforms without lock-in.

A Typical Cloud Native Transformation Journey

Every enterprise’s cloud native journey is unique, but most follow these key stages:

Discovery & Assessment – Analyze current infrastructure, define goals, and identify legacy bottlenecks.

Architecture Redesign – Break down monoliths into loosely coupled services.

Toolchain Setup – Implement containers, orchestration tools, and CI/CD pipelines.

Development & Testing – Agile teams build, test, and deploy microservices independently.

Monitoring & Scaling – Use observability tools to optimize system performance.

Throughout this process, collaboration and cross-functional team alignment are critical for success.

Challenges and How to Overcome Them

Cloud native transformation is powerful but not without its challenges:

Cultural Shift: Moving to DevOps and agile requires mindset change and team retraining.

Security Complexity: More components mean broader attack surfaces—requiring zero-trust models and advanced security strategies.

Skill Shortages: Kubernetes, microservices, and observability demand specialized expertise.

Tool Overload: Managing multiple tools can be overwhelming without a unified platform.

Organizations must address these issues early and invest in the right people, tools, and practices to ensure a smooth transition.

Looking Ahead

The future of enterprise software lies in cloud native development. As technology landscapes evolve and customer expectations rise, only agile, resilient, and scalable applications will thrive.

Organizations that adopt this approach will not only gain a competitive edge but will also build systems that can grow, adapt, and innovate alongside their business needs.

Data Storage in Docker

Docker images are built-in form of layers and docker containers store all the data being used, on the container writable layer which is only persisted till the lifespan of the container i.e. it is no longer accessible once the container is removed. This also makes it difficult to get the data out of the container if it is required by some other processes. To persist the data irrespective of the container’s lifecycle so that the files are available in the host filesystem even if the container is no longer available, Docker provides two options: Docker volumes Bind mounts Though we […]
