rubiesintherough asked: “Where there is kindness, there is goodness and where there is goodness, there is magic.” ( aedus )

" I feel like my sister is rubbing off on you more and more. Not that it's a bad thing by any means --- I wish she'd rub off on more people in that way. " THERE were times when Sima truly questioned if her kindness was noticed. Most of the time, someone always wanted something from her, whether it was a patient wanting care or family wanting her time and help in some way. But she did a lot of things out of kindness and goodness. She lived her life wanting to be good, wanting to not be cruel or cold like her mother. Kindness and goodness were met with an abundance of love in the long term. She and Phen held a magic far greater than any magic conceived of bitterness and hatred.

Her sister's magic was beyond anything Sima had ever seen, considering all she'd been through. Despite everything, Phenex had remained kind and sweet; bitterness was not something in the firebird's soul. Aedus had helped to amplify and build that magic more and more. He'd shown her sister what love was like and for that, Sima was eternally grateful. Phen deserved to let her magic flourish, let her kindness be experienced and her goodness be seen.

rubiesintherough asked: ❛ today simply isn’t your day, is it? ❜ ( aedus )

TODAY HAD BEEN BEYOND DREADFUL. FIRST A CAKE HAD BURNED, then she'd fallen down the stairs and had broken her favourite mug in doing so and now she'd set off one of her triggers in trying to run herself a bath. If anything, she'd just wanted to relax after the first two things but now, she was on the bathroom floor curled up in a ball with tears falling down her cheeks.

She just wanted to be normal. Why was it so hard for her to be that? Normal. Her arms tightened around her knees as tears flooded and her features contorted. Her chest hurt from the panic that surged through her being. Her Aquaphobia ruled over her life more than her regression did and she just longed for it to go away, to not make her so much of a burden anymore.

She must have screamed out at some point within her panic, though she was not entirely sure when that had been. Then again, she often became blinded to it all when her mind raced with the memories of being trapped in a tiny box with no escape and an ocean of water slowly filling the small area around her. It took her a moment to register that Aedus had come in and found her, evidently alerted by her scream or something at least. But his voice was ever-calming. He was her safety net and she quickly scuttled across the tiled floor and into his arms, curling herself up even tighter as her face buried into his chest and her fingers curled into his shirt with a tight grip.

She tried to be independent. She longed for the independence and not having to rely on others so much but after this third event of the day, she found herself pulling back internally. She didn't want to be an adult anymore ~ she didn't want to face all of the panic and upset. She sniffled and inhaled shakily in an attempt to calm herself down, luckily Aedus's scent helped. Familiar; associated with safeness. He was her caregiver now, and her fiancé. She knew that she could slip back and he'd still look after her and protect her. " I --- I just wanted a baths... "

Emerald eyes slowly flicked upward and peered at him, her face a picture of child-like sadness as her bottom lip quivered. The faucet still ran in the background with a small mountain of bubbles slowly beginning to rise above the rim of the bath, but she did not care about that right now. She was trying her best to get over everything wrong that had happened throughout the day, get over the panic attack that running the bath had brought on. " C --- Can you join me...? Please? "

[firebirby]

HIS DELICATE KISSES; THE RESPONSE WITHOUT HESITATION; and the anchoring of her to him via her palms and his chest, all made her smile brighter and brighter. She had not really needed him to affirm his answer, but he so freely did so and how he showed her that they were one, warmed her even more than her core flame already did. A light glow emanated from her skin as she stood, her fingers gently curling against his shirt, feeling his firm chest beneath the pads while her fingernails gently bit into the fabric that covered his skin.

Not once did her eyes leave his gaze, nor did her smile fade as they stood in the dim glow of the room. Lighting did not matter, nothing else mattered but him; them. Steadfast and strong, together they were a strong pair. Together, they could face almost anything, and with Aedus, Phenex's worries and fears affected her a little less. She knew he would never allow her to face anything alone, be it a bathtub or an ocean, or the resounding need to hide away and be anything but adult. He was everything she could ever ask for and more, and she was beyond grateful that she got to call him, hers. " I love you... "

She would happily take him to be her husband right there and then. As much as she loved the idea of a day surrounded by family and friends to join them, she was more than happy to just take his hand and declare herself his for eternity, right where they stood, with no eyes but theirs and those of the one who joined them as one. She had never broached the topic with him, so she did not know which he would prefer. It could be a conversation for later on though. Right now, she was more than happy to take a gradual step closer to him ~ to close that small space between their bodies and allow their flames and warmth to combine in a dance so intimate through the air around them.

His hands rose, lifting hers slowly with them, to his lips. Lingering warmth fell across the hills of her fingers, dorsum, to even her wrist. " Resoundingly, earnestly, yes. " A promise, slipped in the spaces between kisses. Not a taste of hesitation, not a solitary shred of doubt to be found within them. He meant them fully. His entire, fiery heart was hers, and only hers, for however long she wished to hold it.

Amber eyes, gently aglow in the soft light of the room, fixed to hers as he drew her hands to his chest. Pressed them there as though anchoring her to him. Forever her solace, forever her sturdy fortress, whenever she needed... in those trying days when her own strength faltered. He wished to be there. For as long as she would have him, he would stay beside her.

rubiesintherough asked:

"Are you alright?" ( aedus / duma )

There was a sadness to be seen in the angel's eyes, was she alright? No, she was not. Duma was on her way home from a hard day at work when she stopped for a coffee when she heard the voice beside her. Looking in the direction the voice came, she tried to offer a smile but that did not go too well. She sighs as she picks up her coffee and turns to face Aedus. "No, I am not alright." She admits in defeat. She was tired and exhausted both physically and mentally, which was not normal for her. She was hoping a coffee would help.

          supernatural & paranormal sentences

               Former hunter knew just how hellaciously vast the world was and there was a time when he was being raised to identify and kill every known species of non-human there was. But luckily for him, he was able to escape what was essentially a cult and was able to shed that mindset of everything non-human being evil. But then if they were all good people, he probably wouldn't have the scars all over face to prove otherwise.

Cane was tapped against feet as he leant against bench with guide dog by his side, him going forward with playing the boring mundane human façade.

rubiesintherough asked: "When was the last time you actually got some rest?" ( aedus / anya )

WOULD IT BE WISE OF her to attempt to bluff her way through his question? Perhaps not, but Anya was stubborn. Unlike her mother, she held a feisty undertone ~ that wasn't to say that her mother didn't have one too, but Anya hadn't endured the amount of pain and trauma that her mother had.

That, however, was not to say that things still didn't stress on her mind enough to warrant not sleeping for periods of time. Most girls who were the age that she appeared, spent their time out partying; drinking and dancing their nights away, without a care in the world before going to classes on little to no sleep. Anya, however, was at home. Whilst she delved into various studies, helping her mother with the bakery and moments of regression was a bigger priority. She never truly minded it, but there were times where she did worry, and where she felt rather inadequate or isolated.

She'd met Aedus in the kitchen when he'd questioned her. She hadn't really been expecting anyone, but it seemed he was awake too. She stood silent for a moment or two, her hands coming to settle upon her hips as she averted her gaze. Hopefully, if she didn't look directly at him, she could get away with blagging her way out of the questioning situation. A deep breath was taken and with it, her tongue brushed over her lips. " I slept a few hours last night... It was a bit broken, but it's still rest, right? " She'd not really slept in several days, aside from the odd hour here or there, but she liked her alone time as much as she liked her time spent with her mother and Aedus. It gave her time to decompress and to just do something she wanted to do, be that drawing or reading.

FILL IN WITH DETAILS ABOUT YOUR MUSE AS IF THEY WERE A CHARACTER IN A DATING SIM.

NAME — Sanae Hanekoma

PROFESSION — Non-route: Cafe owner, Romance route: anonymous artist CAT, Complete route: Producer of Shibuya

WHERE THEY CAN BE FOUND — Non-route: Hanekoma will be found in the cafe during certain events and at pivotal moments in the story. Talking to certain characters can increase the likelihood you'll enter into route opportunities in the cafe with him (such as Joshua or Joel). Romance Route: Hanekoma can be accessed through the cafe, through the apartment above his cafe, and if you clear a certain affinity you can find him on the roof of Mark City. Failing a conversation on Mark City will lead to a bad end immediately. Complete route: Hanekoma can be found almost exclusively on the roof of Mark City now, but you still have a chance of meeting him in the cafe, depending on how the route is going for you. Mark City is a guaranteed bad end.

FAVORITE FOOD TYPE — Hanekoma's absolute favorite food is a special coffee from a specific cafe. His second favorite food, however, is natto, which is much easier to get but offers less in terms of affinity.

FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK — Hanekoma isn't particularly fond of alcohol in general, but he gets a slightly bigger boost from expensive drinks.

WHERE THEY WOULD GO ON A DATE — 1st date: Hanekoma's first date takes place at an arcade after bumping into him by happenstance. This is more of a friend date and friendly banter. A failed interaction here will divert you back to the common route. 2nd date: Hanekoma will invite you to his apartment where he cooks you a home-made meal. Failing the interaction will divert you to a bad end where nothing really happens. 3rd date: Hanekoma takes you stargazing at the top of one of the buildings and pours his heart out to you. About how much his family means to him and how much he loves the city and how complicated everything is with his life. If you succeed in this interaction, you can get access to the complete route information that he's Producer of Shibuya and an angel. If you fail this route you'll get the first bad end that results in your death (or erasure, in this case). Coming in sideways in this interaction will lead to his exorcism.

IDEAL GIFT — Hanekoma loves homemade gifts the most, but he also really likes expensive gifts that affect him the same way natto does.

HOW MANY DATES UNTIL THEY KISS — You'll have to make it through the second date with a success to get a cheek or forehead kiss, but if you want a passionate kiss you need to succeed the full of the third date. If you make it all the way to the end of the romance route without failing or coming in sideways, you'll get another passionate kiss before and after the climax of the route. If you take the complete route, you won't be able to obtain a romantic kiss, but you can still get forehead and cheek kisses.

rubiesintherough asked: “everyone has crossed the line every now and then.” ( aedus )

        “  You’re right about that one, everyone has, whether they’re completely aware of it, or not.   ---   I’ve done my own fair share of lines crossed in my aeons alive; both through idiotic acts of my own accord... and to keep my family safe.  ”   It was really no surprise that his answer was, what it was. Lucifer was very much both an idiot at times and protective of his family. Perhaps it was why he was so intent on talking with Aedus; he was his firebird’s beau and people could call him distrusting, but when it came to his daughters, he wasn’t opposed to giving them all the fifth degree questioning to ensure his babies would be safe with them.   “  And you, Aedus? have you crossed the line every now and then?  ”

Taking a few steps back to be behind him, Blaez finally spoke up. “Then shouldn’t we be going in the exact opposite direction then?” Voice high pitched, body tense. “Like, shouldn’t we be backing away right this moment?”

@rubiesintherough​ called: ❝ my apologies. didn’t mean to scare. ❞ ( aedus / anyone! )

Imagine, a god such as him startled. To have his features inlaid with the lines of shock – even if it was momentary. There and gone in a blink. Fates forbid if Pantasos was notified of such a thing. His brother would be beside himself from the news alone; doubly so if the Oneiroi had borne witness to it all in person. 

A hand went to soothe over the hem of his shirt once the surprise receded. Throat cleared, his expression evened out once more. Calm, steady. “An apology isn’t needed. It’s not often that I’m frightened.”

rubiesintherough asked: "You’re in a rather odd mood today." ( aedus )

HE'D NOTICED THAT? Well, she supposed that there was no point trying to keep herself hidden now then. It was something that she had never been good at when it came to those closest to her. She could mask certain emotions and states, but this was perhaps a little different than her usual need to hide how little she'd slept, or how much she needed to busy her mind.

Perhaps the fact that she was donning one of Wraith's shirts was the first clue and that she wasn't at work was the second. The biggest was perhaps the platinum band that lay up on the table before her as she ate her brunch. " Did Phen send you to check up on me or get the scoop? She's good at figuring me out... but then she is my baby sister. " A fond hint of laughter slipped from her lips as she spoke. She knew that Phen cared deeply about everyone, especially her, Aedus, and Anya. " How would you go about asking your very reserved and quiet boyfriend to be more than your boyfriend? --- How would you tell them that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with them? "

They'd been together for quite some time now, and Sima had not felt as she did fo Wraith, for well over an aeon. But Wraith was also different. He was so much more than the loves she'd had and experienced in the past. With him, there was something far deeper that she could not explain. " Aedus... I love him, beyond anything... I could not imagine a life without Wraith in it. "

rubiesintherough asked: [ HANDFUL ] sender peppers the receiver’s cheek with multiple, playful kisses ( aedus )

GIGGLES LEFT HER IN A FLURRY AS HER CHEEKS ROSE WITH THE grin that had come about her lips. The kisses being given had been rather spontaneous, even though it was not beyond Aedus to shower her with such affection and she was certainly not going to stop him from giving them either. In fact, she scrunched up her features and leaned into his lips, letting him continue with the small act of adoration.

" Birdieeee! It tickles! " Her giggles continued as she let out a small squeal, trying to curl herself up in an attempt to stop him with the attack of kisses. She was still leaning into them but wanted to play a little, even with her love of receiving his adorations. It was always fun to get this side of Aedus, especially after a stressful day. Besides, how could anyone resist his charming looks?

@rubiesintherough different kinds of kisses / accepting

[firebirby]

THE PLAYFUL LOOK NEVER LEFT, NOT EVEN AS SHE RETREATED AND kept her gaze upon him. Her grin was ever cheeky, mischievous in fact. All should be more than indicative to him that she was in a certain mood, wanting, no CRAVING his attention and his touch. She'd not wanted to stop the kiss, but she'd wanted to be teasing, make him question her motives, though her giggle probably gave that away after hearing his questions.

They were met with a small shrug of her shoulders as her eyes fell to the extended hand before flicking back up to meet with his. The grin became a small smirk as she slowly stepped backward one foot at a time. She was attempting to be alluring, attempting to coax him to start following her. She wanted to have some fun together with him and if it meant she had to play brat just a little bit, then she would.

Send “ah, fuck it” to shove my muse up against a wall for a surprise kiss 👀 ( for Aedus because the size difference of Phen instigating this is highly amusing to me. )

@firebirby

Aedus was familiar with the glint in her eye... one that usually heralded playfulness and mischief. And he'd only a moment to register that before his back met the wall with a sudden thud, her hands on his chest, not even time enough for form a word before Phen's lips were on his own. Passion in the kiss like a blazing wildfire. And over in an instant. Left him blinking, processing as her steps retreated, his hand darting out into open air as though attempting to pull her back. " Darling... only one kiss? Just one? "

               Wolf knew all about that. Those who she considered family now had nothing to do with blood. In fact, she'd stay as far away from her biological mother as possible, a totally deliberate choice. Drink in hand was stared at for a moment before the rest of it was downed without hesitation. "You can say that again."
