Enjoy!!

. . .

. . .

You had been with Marcella for a couple of months and you couldn't have been happier. You're a ragdoll that had been sitting in an antique shop for so long, even your clothes were rotting and moths ate at them. Every day, your hope faded that someone would buy you, at this point you were even hoping to be in a display case. You thought you would have never been played with like you had dreamed until Marcella picked you up.

When she first brought you home, you were so nervous at meeting all of the other toys that you laid limply as if a human saw you. They tried to make introductions, but you were much too scared not being used to being alive during the day. You felt so silly for being so nervous, especially when you were called a 'pill' by Andy, but you couldn't help it.

You were so happy but didn't want to believe it was true, fearing you would just go back to the antique shop. Marcella proved your fears wrong however as she played with you all day when she first got you. She gave you a new dress, in your favorite color with lace that lined the dress, a pastel version of your favorite color. The bottom of the dress had sunflowers scattered along the skirt with a white apron tied around your waist.

You were in tea parties and fashion shows with Marcella, you had dreamed of this every day since you were in that blasted antique store. You even got played along with other toys, there were so many different ones, you wanted to cry in joy but had to keep it in. Marcella was so sweet, she wasn't the most gentle but you didn't care. You were getting played with! You couldn't believe it, it felt like a dream you never wanted to end.

When Marcella had to sleep, leaving all of you in the nursery, you sobbed hard enough to wake everyone. "Y/n, what's wrong?" Ann said, coming over right away. She fell from her excitement, landing by your feet.

Your emotions had been shut off for so long, you didn't even know you could cry. Marcella was a sweet little girl, so you assumed that her rules were that her toys could cry. At that realization, you only cried more. You won the lottery of getting such a good kid, all of that waiting was worth it.

You could see all of the toys crowd around you with Andy being right by his sister. Even Babette was there, although a bit further back. You were still very nervous, however you were dying to get all of your feelings out, they felt like a big dense ball in your body.

"I-I've never been played with before!" You wailed. "I've been sitting for decades and I got played with all day. I dreamed of this for so long, I love Marcella so much!" You wailed, grabbing Raggedy Anne to squeeze her tight.

"You really mean that, Y/n?" Ann asked, her voice tender and sweet as she held you right back. She loved hugs, any and all affection she welcomed with open arms. You didn't know that fact at the time, just being grateful that you could be held as you cried, crying for the first time overwhelmed you terribly, much more than being nervous.

You hummed a 'yes', getting a big cheer from the group. You stared off with Ann in your arms, staring at a pair of overalls. Andy shifted, then kneeled so he was staring right at you, your (e/c) button eyes widened at how he looked into your eyes.

"Yeah, Marcelle's pretty great, isn't she?" Andy said with a light-hearted sigh.

You looked away but nodded, letting go of Ann. Ann's eyes widened, then wiped your tears with her hand, your tears left a wet spot on the cotton material of her hand. "But Andy, I thought you didn't like being a girl's toy!" She said behind her shoulder with a giggle.

Andy crossed his arms. "I only said that because I was tired of dressing up and tea parties, but I still love Marcelle." He huffed.

You smiled. You didn't believe it when Marcelle said that Andy had a candy heart just like his sister, but he proved it right now. Although you could tell he didn't like admitting it, so you didn't comment on it, instead keeping it in mind for later.

"Thank you, Ann." You said, mustering a wobbly smile as you could still feel crying come on again.

"Of course, that's what friends are for!" She said.

"My sister is a very good friend." Andy said, putting a mitten on Ann's shoulder.

"Thank you Andy." She said bashfully, making the other toys exclaim at her.

They all gave a comment about her, making her hide her face. Even though she was the apparent leader of the toy room, greeting new toys first and solving the problems of the nursery, she was still bashful. Getting to be in a room filled with tender hearted toys made you so happy, your chest filled with warmth.

You had waited for so long and got not only a kid so perfect for you, but all of her toys were just as sweet and tender, all you could feel was relief that this is your new life. All of that waiting was worth it, you couldn't believe that you were going to be played with from now on.

That had been a couple of months ago. You had played a lot, immediately coming out of your shell. Ann was so sweet, it was hard not to come out of your shell around her with how tender she is. Many of the toys were like that and even Babette warmed up to you when you mentioned offhandedly that you enjoyed fashion.

Andy was the only one you couldn't figure out. Sometimes he would be so sweet, making your entire cloth body heat up while other times he gave you a cold shoulder, often either hiding himself or seeking you out.

You didn't understand why he would be aloof some days, but you knew you enjoyed every second when he wouldn't want to be alone because then you got to play with him. Even though he said he didn't like the more gentle games, if you asked him he would always say yes. He would pout and grumble if other toys were watching him play those games but when it was just you two, you could tell he liked playing with you a lot.

You had everything, yet you weren't satisfied. It was autumn, before coming here it was the only time you felt happy. You could see all of the beautiful colors of the trees, breaking up the monotony of being on the highest shelf of the antique store. You wanted to go outside so bad back then but you were afraid of more bugs eating your clothing.

However you were at Marcella's now, you heard of the other toys going outside. You wanted to see leaves for the first time and even take one inside with you. You had always dreamed of going outside and enjoying the different colors of the leaves.

You finally mustered up the courage to ask Andy to take you outside. At first you asked Ann, being the closest with her, however she suggested to ask Andy instead. It made you confused, wanting to know why you should ask him and not her since he had been so polar opposite with you.

"Oh yeah, y/n, he's strong and tough." Ann said, covering her mouth, trying not to grin too much. She then beckoned you over to whisper "He likes protecting other toys and he knows more shortcuts than I do. You should ask him!"

You looked over at Andy who was on his back lifting a barbell made with objects from around the room, a thick paintbrush with rolls of tape on the side. You bit your lip nervously, then looked over to Andy. Sure, you knew everyone was nice and you had come out of your shell a lot, but every new situation that called you to be brave made you go into your shell right away.

"You can do it, y/n!" She said, a warm encouraging smile on her lips.

She was right, her smile made you know that you were scared because this was new, not because it was a scary situation. You walked over to Andy, a determined glint in your eye. However the courage you mustered up during your walk over to the ragdoll fell flat as you could hear him grunt and puff at lifting the barbell. You could feel a ball in your throat seeing him, wouldn't you be bothering him if he was already doing this?

You couldn't really back out as he noticed you not even a minute after coming over. He did a double take looking at the skirt of your dress, "Y-Y/n?" He asked in surprise, accidentally dropping the barbell on himself with an 'oof.'

"Andy!" You exclaimed, trying to grab one side of it. You didn't have much upper body strength, but you tried lifting it off of him the best you could. You tried and tried, your entire cloth body was warm from your efforts and it barely budged

"Here, let me get that." He said, lifting it with ease, setting it down beside himself.

"Wow, you really are strong!" You said. "I couldn't even lift that off of you."

You could see his face got so red, however he puffed his chest out. "W-well, yeah! I gotta be strong, tough, and terrific, makes me protect toys better, you know!" He said with a certain nod.

"Oh, that reminds me!" You said, remembering your question. "Do you think you could help me get to the backyard? I wanna get a leaf."

"A leaf? Why would you need a leaf?" He said.

You looked out of the window, seeing the orange tree by the nursery window. "I had been cooped up in that awful antique store. I saw autumn so many times and never could go and enjoy it, it was the only thing that made me happy then. I wanna bring some of it in here."

Andy hummed, rubbing his chin. "Well, why don't we bring a bunch then? Makes more sense that way."

"You'll help me, really?" You asked, a big smile on your face.

"Sure!" He said, standing up and offering his hands to help you stand up. "I'll take any excuse to go outside."

You could feel your cheeks get dark at the thought of holding his hands, even if it was for just getting up. You knew he was a very affectionate doll, but it still made you blush all the same. You took them, smiling as you got up. You were face to face with him, he was only a little taller than you but his face was so close to yours.

His black button eyes were wide and so were yours. You looked away and you could hear him cough, letting go. "Yeah, let's head out." He said.

The trip out was tense, but you didn't feel scared at all. He helped you down every stair, his hands on your waist and your hands on his shoulders. He insisted on helping you, saying how didn't want you exhausted before you even got to the backyard. You knew he couldn't help touching you, he was even like that with his sister, but it made you blush all the same. You enjoyed it a lot, it made you feel like he was your knight, and you were his princess.

Getting through the house was pretty easy. Only Marcella's mother would be here but she was out grocery shopping and she just left when you had asked Andy to come with. "I don't remember it taking this long to get there." He said with a huff. "Usually I just throw myself down the stairs."

"Why didn't you this time?" You asked.

"I know you're a ragdoll," He said. "But I don't want you throwing yourself down the stairs. I don't want you having to visit Susie to get new holes repaired after you went outside for the first time."

"You're so sweet Andy." You said, then hugged him.

"Gosh," He chuckled, hugging you back. "Of course! I wouldn't ever want you hurt, sweet cheeks."

"Sweet?" You asked, only parting enough to see his face that had a big grin.

"Well yeah!" He said, pinching your hot cheek. "They look like candy when they're so red!"

"Andy, you're making it worse!" You whined with a pout.

"You want me to stop?" He asked, letting go of you, opting instead to hold your hand.

You shook your head, hiding your face in your mitten. "No, you don't gotta." You said. You looked over, seeing his face even darker than what yours probably is. He nodded, then rubbed the back of his neck with the hand that wasn't holding yours. "Well, let's keep going. Marcella's mom might get home soon." He said, walking to the backyard.

He didn't let go of your hand once unt you both were outside. Maybe he forgot but you weren't going to tell him if that was the case. It was so nice holding his hand. He then had to open the door. "Watch this!" He said before he let go of your hand. He jumped high, grabbing onto the handle and pushed it open with his feet on the wall beside it.

"Oh wow!" You said, getting out of the way to give the door room to open.

He dropped down beside you and you helped him up so he could stand on his own. When you let go, he took off his hat and with a flourished bow, he said "And the outside, my lady." He said with a sweet smils.

You broke out into a fit of giggles at the exaggerated flourish. He gave a bigger smile, hiding his face with his hat. After you stopped laughing, he asked "After we get the leaves, do you wanna see some cool things out here?"

You nodded, going out into the backyard first with him following behind you. "We can grab at least five with us."

"Yeah that would be great!" You said, getting right to work on finding good leaves. All of them were beautiful but some called out to you more than the rest, the first five you felt that with, you had grabbed.

"Here, let me get that." He said, taking them all in his arms.

"You sure you don't mind grabbing them all?" You asked.

He shook his head. "Nah." He said. "I don't think she'll be back soon. Can I show you some stuff while we're here?"

"Yeah!" You said. He walked in a direction and you followed, he walked over to a log that was bigger than the both of you setting down the leaves in a nice pile.

"Sometimes twigs fall down and it hides a bunch of bugs." He explained. He went to a big stick, then flipped it over. Underneath was dirt almost black in color with something in the middle. It was something green and it kept squishing and expanding. You kneeled down, grabbing it with your mitten and put it in your arm. It covered a good part of your arm and you could see its skin was textured, looking like a softly curved 'L' with small appendages sticking out at the end that was by your head.

"No way you got that on your first try!" He exclaimed.

"What is it?" You asked.

"A slug!" He said with an amazed laugh. "Most girls would get grossed out. One time I showed Babette a slug and she didn't speak to me for a week!"

You looked, seeing the slug try to get off your arm and you gave it your other hand to crawl onto. "Why didn't she talk to you?" You asked, your eyes still on the slug.

"She was that grossed out!" He said with a big laugh.

You hummed, looking at it. 'Well, it's not gross to me." You said with a certain nod. "It's actually very cute." You said, seeing it crawl onto your other hand.

"Yeah well, Babette is kind of a pill." He said. "I know she's dating my sister so I gotta get along with her but," his mouth made a squiggly line, then he gave out a big sigh. "You know, I thought you were gonna be as stuffy as her too."

"What do you mean?" You asked, setting down the slug into its hiding place. He set down the branch and guided you to another place in the backyard.

"Well, here's a new girl doll and Marcella gave her a brand new dress. I thought you were gonna be as stuffy as the last new girl doll." He said with a shrug. You wanted to ask him what he thought of you now, then something caught his attention.

"Oh yeah, here's another." Andy said. "But this might be the last one I can show you." You two were by another tree, he pointed up and you could hear twinkling. You looked up, seeing silver sticks clanging together, making them chime.

"What's that?" You asked.

"I think they're called windchimes." He said, scratching his yarn hair.

"They sound so pretty." You gasped, looking up at them. With every breeze, the chimes twinkled and shined in the sunlight. The air was cool but you felt so warm with the sound and being around Andy.

"Yeah, pretty sound and a pretty doll fit together I guess." He huffed, crossing his arms.

You could feel your blush come back again. He was always so sweet. "Thank you Andrew." You cooed, reaching over and gave a small peck on his cheek. "I was so scared coming outside today but you made it so much fun."

He gave a goofy giggle, holding the place where you kissed. You felt something land on you, your smile immediately dropped.

You could feel terror in your gut at what landed on you. "A moth!" You yelled, shaking it off. You could feel your cloth heart racing, pure shock through your entire body, afraid of it biting you.

Andy immediately came to your side, waving his hands until it flew away. "Lay off of her!" He shouted to the moth flying away.

You could feel hot tears run down your cloth face and you hiccuped. You tried covering it up before he noticed but it didn't take long for him to look at you. "What's wrong, y/n?" He asked, coming to hold you.

"Moths ate me when I was in that stupid antique store!" You sobbed before putting your head in the crook of his neck. "I don't wanna be eaten again or Marcella will throw me out because I'll be so beaten up! I already had five holes before!"

"Hey, hey, take it easy, sweets. Marcella wouldn't do that." Andy said, patting your back as you cried. He gave you a minute, wondering what to say to make you feel better. "And besides, I'll protect you from those dumb moths."

You looked up, seeing his confident grin. "You will?" You asked, your voice still soft, afraid of your voice cracking.

"Of course!" He said, wiping a stray tear. "I'm gonna protect you no matter what."

"Thank you, Andy." You warbled, seeing the tear soaked into his cloth hand. "I think I had enough time outside though."

"Yeah, let's head in." He said before he let go. You were about to get the leaves, but he beat you to them and gathered all of them in his arms. He stuck his tongue out at you, making you give a huff. "Gotta be quicker than that, y/n."

"Are you sure you don't mind holding that?" You asked.

"Nah, I was the one who suggested getting all of these leaves." He said. You walked ahead of him so you could close the door when he got inside. You two made quick work of getting up the stairs, however halfway through the front door opened. Marcella's mom came in with groceries. You went limp and Andy stuffed the leaves in his overalls before going limp as well. It took a couple of trips, you had to make headway up the stairs as Marcellas mom went to the car to get more bags. Everytime she would come in and walk back out, you two would go limp just in case. After she was done, the two of you were out of eyeshot enough for you both to book it back to the nursery.

Ann was the first one to notice and then Babette who was trying to show Ann how to play cat's cradle. "Andy, y/n!" She said, running to you both. Andy was in the middle of getting the leaves out of his overalls when his sister came over. "How was the trip?"

You smiled. "For the most part it was good, but then there was a moth and it made me scared. But Andy saved me so I'm okay now."

"Leave it to her to be not scared of a slug, but scream at a moth." Andy said, taking the last leaf out to hand to you.

"You brought leaves!" Topsy said from the other side of the room. "Ooh, they're so pretty too." Everyone came over, looking at what the pair brought with them. You smiled, you didn't expect the other toys to be so interested in your silly quest. "I never had the chance to go outside, I always wanted a leaf from autumn because of the colors." You explained to the group.

"I think this one is my favorite." Ann said, holding up a great big leaf.

"You can have it!" You said, seeing how her eyes lit up at the colors. It was dark red with splotches of orange, it was already hers the minute her eyes laid on it.

"Really?" She asked and you nodded.

"Of course!" You said, handing it to her.

"Oh thank you, y/n." She said before giving you a hug with the leaf in hand.

After everyone had their fun with the leaves, you were left with one for yourself. It was the prettiest one in your opinion. You looked around, trying to find Andy to thank him when you spotted him. He beckoned you and you ran toward him. You were making good headway until you fell down on your face, your entire body losing all stability

You heard a patter of cloth feet on the wood and you were lifted up by your arms. "Aw, y/n," He said with a warm laugh.

"Sorry, I got too excited." You giggled.

"It's alright." He said. You were able to get on your feet again and you held onto his forearms.

"Okay, I'm ready now." You said. Andy walked you over to the closet, although Marcella rarely put you in here you enjoyed how quiet it was. "Hey Andy?" You said, making him jump. "Thanks for coming with me today."

"Of course." He said. "There's something I want to tell you."

Before you could ask, he planted a kiss on your cheek and wrapped you in his arms. "I really like you, y/n."

You could feel your entire face burn up, you hid your face, trying to calm it down. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"I wanted to tell you that I liked you." You mumbled in your hands.

"What was that?" He asked in a sing-song voice, taking one of your hands from your face and into his.

"I-I," You clammed up, suddenly losing your voice. "I like you too." You said, barely above a whisper.

"You're gonna have to speak up, y/n." He said, he cupped his ear with a hand.

"Andy," You whined, dragging out the last letter.

"What? I only wanna be sure I heard right." He said, his smirk mischievous.

You blinked, realizing what he said. "Andy!" You said, batting his shoulder before hiding your face in the crook of his neck.

Andy chuckled warmly, he held you back and kissed your crown. "Now I get to do that all day." He said with a snicker.

"You'd do that even in front of the other toys?" You asked, your button eyes wide.

"Well yeah, you're my girl now." Andy said, a hand on your yarn hair. "If you want it, you got it sweetie."

"Andrew, you're so sweet." You said, wrapping your arms around him even tighter than before.

day 7. WHAT’S YOUR DR’S HOLIDAY DINNER LIKE? is it a grand feast with everything from turkey to trifle? a cosy, intimate dinner by candlelight? or something unique, like a themed dinner party or a picnic-style meal by the fire?

˚　　　　✦　　　.　　. 　 ˚　.　　　　　 . ✦　　　 　˚　　　　 . ★⋆. ࿐࿔

the magnitude of the Christmas feast at Hogwarts can best be expressed by the fact that first-year students often throw up in their dorms afterwards, since the average witch or wizard is so unaccustomed to having so much food in front of them that they simply must overeat

the Great Hall itself is transformed into a winter wonderland, with floating enchanted snowflakes, towering Christmas trees adorned with golden fairy lights (meaning the actual magical glow of thousands of fairies), and warm hearths crackling with roaring fires, casting a golden glow over the feast:

Extra information

His top three games to play FNAF, Monopoly and Mariokart!! Mario Party Superstars and Super Mario Wonder are close runner ups

He can cook contrary to popular belief. He can cook palak paneer, schnitzel, ramen and idli sambar very very well. He does often set things on fire in the process but it’s tasty!

He can’t feel high temperature. He has no sense of heat

He does start calling his old boss from the mafia “Boss” or his mother “Mama” when he’s in a bad mental state

He loves turtlenecks an unhealthy amount

He also loves chunky booths and certain chokers

He likes emo / punk aesthetics

He loves to wear dresses or fem clothing and does his makeup sometimes

He has worn a bunny suit on several occasions for fun

He will also wear dresses and bunny suits for his boyfriend too

He’s got quite a bit of money from Katie’s will/inheritance

He owns a house in Sweden

His left eye is extremely weak

Behavior patterns

A absolute sucker for headpats and pets. He doesn’t care about the feeling or motive behind them, he will melt into the touch and slowly grow more attached to the person giving them to him

He loves rewards. Food, clothes, anything. He loves loves loves rewards

Doctors make him spiral. Even seeing a long white coat will send him into a panic, and he hates medical equipment

It’s even worse with needles. He sees a syringe, a needle or anything of the sort and he’ll be sent into a panic attack or a hallucination episode

Weirdly he finds some comfort in basements. Because when he was in the basement in the mafia he was “safe” with his box and plush, he couldn’t be hurt by punishments or Boss

He loves cheese. Katie used to only really manage to sneak scraps of cheese, bread and cold slices of meat to him when Kris was forced to starve as punishment, which led to him to viewing all of those as “safe foods” and finding deep comfort in them

He’s used to being called derogatory terms such as ‘creature’, ‘weapon’, ‘monster’, ‘demon’ etc etc so he often tries to call himself those terms when he thinks he’s done a “bad thing”

Dissection was a punishment in the mafia so when he’s had a really really bad day he will gut/dissect himself to punish himself

He drinks a lot after bad days

He spends time on roofs and throws things off of them to release anger and stress

Easily manipulated because he just needs to be praised and given physical affection. Currently working on it

Has bad trust issues but if someone tells him something that feeds into his own insecurities he will believe it after a little convincing

Behavior patterns (fused)

He will grow attached to a person he views as “Boss” and absorb some of their personality traits

He will also grow attached to anyone who speaks German with him!!

He only really eats human flesh when in this state. Any other type of food makes him nauseous and he can only really stomach raw flesh and blood

He has a permanent smile stuck on his face so he uses his eyes and the glow levels in them to show his emotions. Plus when he’s excited or angry or deeply annoyed more black liquid will drip from his mouth

The liquid dripping from his eyes will always be trickling out. It doesn’t matter how he feels, it’s an eternal flow of neon goop

He can’t really feel any other emotion other than all-consuming destructive anger, intense overwhelming joy, or complete and utter boredom or annoyance.

He’s basically run by his thirst for blood and violence, and his need for death and slaughter

He has really spotty memories when he unfuses, being able to remember some things but not others. These amnesia barriers are really frustrating for him

Does not trust anyone. Will only act on his own impulses + bloodlust and orders from whom he views as “Boss”

He genuinely is a monster. A weapon to be utilized for mass destruction

Apollo and Klavier go over Christmas plans. Klapollo week 2023 day 4: family

Christmas was a bit of a touchy time of year for Apollo. It hadn’t been Klavier’s favorite for a while either. The first year they spent together, it had been just the two of them, healing and finding comfort in each other’s company. They’d gone to the Wright’s party of course and made a brief appearance at the Prosecutor’s office event, but this year they were really ready to throw themselves into it.

“I asked Trucy about it. They haven’t planned anything yet, so if we want to be the hosting house this year, it’s ours.” “Fantastich! First we should sort out the guest list, ja?” “Ja. Did you want to, you know, invite anyone…”

Apollo was doing his best not to state what he meant directly in case that made Klavier feel pressured to do something he didn’t want to. Apollo had met the other members of the Gavinners a total of once and at this point figured meeting Klavier’s parents was out of the question. He still wanted that option to be available, though, in case his boyfriend felt like reaching out.

“Nein. Maybe we should focus on your family?”

Apollo recognized that tone as one that meant he didn’t want to talk about it right then. They had talked about it before and undoubtedly would again, they were very good at the whole communication thing after the initial stumbles, and Apollo knew there was a time and place for certain topics. That was fine. But he also recognized this made his boyfriend incredibly sad, and he hated that more than anything. Klavier was loved and he deserved to know it.

“They’re your family now, too, you know.”

Klavier felt that this was something he had known theoretically, but hearing it said aloud by someone else…

“Ja, they are, aren’t they.” “Ja. So let’s invite our family. Trucy is going to be so excited to hear about your new music, and Mr. Wright was interested in that smuggling case you picked up. Of course, if the Wrights are coming, so are the Feys and Mr. Edgeworth. Athena will want to show Juniper off to you, so add two more. We can’t leave Ema out, and she’ll bring Kay. And we’ll need to invite Debeste and Blackquill. While we’re at it, we should see if Miss von Karma and Nahyuta will be in the states. And if we’re inviting that many people anyway, we should invite the Gumshoes… Am I missing anyone?” “Would you be up to inviting your mother… ?”

Klavier had gotten along very well with Apollo’s mother, but that was before he knew everything that happened and that she was in fact the mother of the man he loved. He could understand Apollo’s apprehension. Just because someone was agreeable, even if they were a fantastic person, that didn’t necessarily mean they were a good parent. Not that he necessarily thought she was a bad one either, it was just complicated. He knew Apollo wanted to try getting to know her, mostly for Trucy’s sake, but at least a little bit for his own. It was especially odd for him not having known her until he was already an adult.

“I guess we should, huh? I’ll never get to know her better if I keep avoiding her. We should tell her to bring Machi, too.” “This time of year really has you charitable.” “… I don’t want to be alone. I don’t want anyone else to, either.” “You won’t ever be alone if I can help it.” Apollo blushed and turned away. “You’re such a sap.” “But you love me.” “No. And I love you.” Klavier blushed a bit himself. “Now who’s being a sap?” “Shut up.” Apollo kissed him gently. “Now if we’re filling this big ass house with people we’re going to need enough food to feed an army, so I was thinking we could have everyone bring a dish. We’ll cook the ham, obviously… Actually I think we’ll need two.” “Mm. We should also provide some of the drinks. A couple bottles of wine and sparkling cider.” “That sounds good. With everyone here should we have games for people to play? Clay’s family always did this saran wrap ball thing and pin the nose on Rudolph. We sent Mr. Terran a card, right?” “We did. I think he sent one back in the mail on the table.” “We should probably start actually looking at the mail when we pick it up, huh?” “That would probably be smart, ja. I think games are a great idea. Sebastian and Kay are fond of trivia, I believe.” “Trivia would be fun. I think almost everyone is competitive enough to really get into it. Maybe we should do one of those jars where you have to guess how many candy canes are in it or something?” “Great idea, Schatz, though I'm fairly sure Herr Blackquill will win. He has an uncanny ability to guess the exact number of items inside other items.” “That’s like the lamest superpower ever.” “Maybe so, but it wins him gift cards whenever we do it at the office.” “I guess any super power can be useful in certain situations.” “Like increased perception of when someone is lying or being able to hear someone’s emotions?” “Both of those are incredibly useful!” “They are, but they are also their own weakness.” “Hmm… I guess there aren’t really any downsides to being able to guess how many things are in other things… So what’s your superpower?” “Being charming enough to catch mein Häschen.” Apollo blushed and turned away slightly. “That’s not a superpower, Klav.” Klavier scooped him up and nuzzled in. “Then it was a miracle. A Herculean feat. And the best thing to ever happen to me.” “Aw, gee. It’s the same for me, you know.” “Obviously. I’m Klavier Gavin.” He flipped his hair. “Alright, moment over. I’m gonna get some more coffee.” He slipped out of Klavier’s lap and grabbed his mug off the table. “Me too?” Apollo smirked. “I dunno, Klavier Gavin must have a ton of people lined up just dying to get him coffee.” “Schatz,” he whined. “Yes, I’ll get you coffee,” he chuckled in response.

All Night | Nap Date 1

1:45 am felt later than it usually does for Shawn. He’s been at this party for three hours now, and it truly felt like he’s been here the whole day. He honestly just wanted to go home. 

He landed in Toronto at 9:57am this morning. Since leaving the airport at 11:00, after getting all his luggage loaded and taking millions of pictures with his fans, he’s met with his manager for lunch, stopped by his condo to make sure his stuff made it home okay, and jetted out after a quick 15 minute shower to Raul’s. 

Jet lag is a bitch, and Shawn doesn’t even know how he’s still standing right now. He felt like he could barely keep his eyes open, and he was absolutely regretting riding in with Raul and Peter tonight.

The three triplets stood together, laughing at Brian’s tour stories about Shawn and Connor. Shawn was standing a bit uninterested, having lived through these stories. His blinks were becoming heavy and he was swaying back and forth to the music in a way to soothe himself. 

“There she is.” Raul says to himself, catching Shawn’s attention.

“Finally found June?” He mumbled, looking over and spotting his brothers girlfriend laughing with a group of girls around her.

“Yeah, she texted me like a half hour ago saying they were headed to the bathroom, but I hadn’t seen her since and it was making me a little nervous, but she’s here, she’s safe. I’m good.” Raul nods. “Her book is killing it right now Dude, I’m so proud of her.” 

Shawn smiles, looking at his brother who is so utterly in love. He can’t wait until that’s him someday. “I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but I plan too on this break. I gotta support the Sis in her crazy good work.” 

Raul smiles at Shawn’s choice of words. “She wants to thank you.” Raul says sipping from his solo cup. Shawn’s gulping from a water bottle, brows furrowed in confusion. “For lending us money when we first moved in together. I told her a little bit ago, and she wants to thank you for helping us. I know you say it wasn’t a handout or anything, but just, could you just-”

“Accept her gratitude with a smile.” Shawn nudges his brother. “Like I would have had you not told me.” 

“I just wanted to warn you.” Raul looks at his shoes. “She’s everything to me, and I want her to be happy. Always.” 

Grinning, Shawn looked over at June and caught sight of an angel next to her. His whole world felt like it stopped spinning. A long legged beauty was dancing with June, a blue dress that hugged her curves but flowed around her thighs. Light brown hair that hung loosely down her back in the softest curls he’d ever seen. Her smile was bright, and her hips swung back and forth fluidly. His mouth went dry and his voice got caught in his throat. “Raul,” He choked. “Who’s that girl with June?” 

Raul looked back at his girl and smiled when he saw Juni’s best friend Ember clutching her waist and swaying together. “That’s Ember. Her and Juni have been friends since high school.” 

Shawn nodded, mouthed the name Ember, and smiled at the way it felt to say. 

Shawn suddenly didn’t feel as tired as he did 2 minutes before. He was wired now, wired with the need to hear her laugh. To pick her brain, know her story and maybe, if he’s lucky, walk away with her number saved in his phone. 

Shawn jumped back into the conversation around him, nodding when Brian asked for his back up on if he’d really been kicked out of a bar because he wasn’t 21 yet. All the while sneaking glances at Ember. 

He’d made a move to go introduce himself, planting himself next to Juniper. She’d hugged him and made her rounds with all her friends from school, but it happened to be at a moment when Ember went to get another drink. So Shawn was sucked into a conversation about his hair, his shoes, his stylist, and what it’d be like to have a stylist for about 30 minutes before he saw Ember across the room speaking to another guy.

He deflated when he saw her laugh, holding onto this guys arm as she threw her head back. She was so beautiful, the brightness in her features made Shawn want to smile, the way she held herself, her confidence, had him groaning to see it up close. 

“Who are you-Ember?” Juniper said noticing that Shawn was in his own world, staring at someone. “Are you staring at Ember?” 

“Yeah.” He breathes out.

“Why?” Juniper squints her eyes.

“Is she with him?” He asks, pointing to the guy Ember was standing with. 

“No, she’s single. That’s Derrick, they work together.” 

“What do they do?” Shawn asks, turning his attention to Juniper with raised eyebrows. 

“She works for Style at Home magazine. She writes under the ‘How To’ ‘Organizing Tips’ section. Derrick writes under the ‘Gifts and Must haves’ under ‘Shopping’.” 

“Oh.” Shawn stands straighter. “That’s really fucking cool.” 

“Yeah, for as long as I’ve known Ember she’s been the biggest neat freak ever. I mean she would organize her locker daily in high school.” 

Shawn smirks, looking back at Ember who had body glitter clinging to her skin and slightly smudged lipstick on the corner of her mouth. “That’s really cute.” He murmurs.

“I’ll introduce you, if you want?” Juniper offers.

“Can I be honest?” He asks, looking at her. She nods and smiles at him. “That’s the whole reason why I came over here to begin with. I’m sorry, that makes me sound like such an ass but she’s just-” He looks back up at her, eyes widening when he notices she’s making her way towards Juniper. “She’s coming.” He squeaks. 

“Breathe Shawn.” Juniper giggles.

“June, I thought Raul was wearing a matching red shirt to your dress?” Ember teases. 

“No I’m-” 

“She knows who you are Shawn.” Juniper lands a hand on his shoulder to hopefully soothe his anxious nerves. 

“Hi I’m Ember, it’s nice to finally meet the last triplet.” 

“Shawn.” He blurts as he shakes her hand. Juniper snorts and backs away too Raul to let Shawn and Ember have a moment. “Oh my god I’m sorry I’m being weird.” He groans when he notices he’s still shaking her hand. 

Ember just giggles and shakes her head at him. “It’s okay.” 

“I’m sorry,” He puts his head in his hands. “I just, I saw you with June earlier and I wanted to say ‘hi’.” His cheeks are a nice bright pink and his tired eyes sparkle when they land on hers. 

“Why didn’t you say ‘hi’ earlier?” She asks softly, stepping closer. 

“Um well you looked to be having a lot of fun dancing, and I didn’t want to interrupt that.” 

“You could have, I wouldn’t have minded.” She grins at him. 

He smiles, nervously chuckling as he looks down to his feet. 

“I came over to meet you.” He explains. “But you disappeared.” He shrugs. “Like Cinderella.”

Ember almost spits out the sip of her water she’d just taken, staring up at Shawn with wide eyes. “Did you just call me a Princess?” 

Shawn blanches when he realizes he’s just spoken all of his thoughts out loud. “I mean,” He shrugs, embarrassed. “You look like one.” 

At this Ember laughs, slips her hand into his as she throws her head back. When she’s calmed and meets Shawn’s entranced gaze she says, “That was really smooth. I have to give you credit for that one.” 

Shawn frowns when he hears her say that. “Get hit on a lot?” 

“No,” She scoffs. “But my friends do.” She points to the group of girls who are dolled up for the house party. “I’ve heard about all the pick up lines any sleezy fuck boy can come up with.” 

Shawn takes his hand out of hers, “Do you think I’m a sleezy fuck boy?” 

Ember snaps out of her giggling, standing straight, eyes wide. “No, no Shawn I don’t. I’m so sorry, that’s not what I mean-”

“I’m kidding.” Shawn’s smooth voice flows around her. His hand back in hers as he pulls her a little closer. “I’m glad you don’t think I’m a fuck boy. But I wasn’t giving you a pick up line. I was being honest, you truly look beautiful tonight.” 

Ember’s cheeks flush, and she giggles as she looks to her heeled toes. “You won’t be saying that when the alcohol wears off.”

“Actually,” Shawn grins. “I’m completely sober. I’ve been traveling all day, and have work tomorrow, so I’m the DD.” 

“Oh.” Ember stares up at him, taking in the fact that he actually thinks that she’s beautiful. “Oh.” She says again, eyes going wide.

“Yeah.” Shawn smiles at her softly. “Can I-” Shawn starts to say when her phone starts to go off. 

She looks down and almost physically whines when she sees it’s her alarm going off. She’d promised Juniper she could go out, as long as she left at a decent hour to get home. She has work in the morning, she is selling a really big pitch to the editors. She can’t afford to be overtired and drunk for such an important meeting. 

“What’s up?” Shawn asks when she angrily clicks off her phone.

“I have to go.” She says pulling away.

“Hey, Cinderella.” Shawn catches her hand. “You already disappeared on me once, let’s not do it again.” 

“I’m sorry Shawn, I have to go. It’s getting late and I have work in the morning.” 

Shawn follows her outside, pushing Peter and Connor out of his way when they try to stop him to join their game of beer pong. 

“Hey, hey, hey.” He says when he finally catches up to her outside. He’s slipping his jacket off his arms and over her shoulders as she clicks through the UBER app on her phone. “Before you order your pumpkin carriage ride home.” He pushes her hand down with his left hand, using his right to tilt her chin up. “Let me take you?” 

“Shawn I-” 

“Listen, you know Raul, you know Peter, you know me.” He says with a small smile. “But I don’t know you, and I’d like too.” 

“Why?” She asks, staring up at him with bewildered eyes. 

“Because you’re gorgeous, and your eyes hold a story I’d like to hear. I’ve heard a small bit about your job, but I’d like to learn more. I’d like to get to know you Ember. Let me take you home, so I know you get there safely, and maybe you’ll let me take you out sometime.” He raises one eyebrow, teeth clenched together as he awaits her answer.

She sighs as she looks around. Holding onto his arm she takes one shoe off at a time. 

“What are you doing Cinderella? Gonna give me your shoe?” He grins. 

“Shut up.” She giggles. “I’ll let you drive me home, but you have to be okay with me being barefoot because these heels are killing my feet.” 

Shawn laughs and nods, looking her up and down, loving the look of her in his jacket. 

“Here.” He says, quickly toeing off his shoes and kicking them towards her feet. 

“What are you doing?” 

“If one of us is going to walk without shoes to my car it’s going to be me. I at least have socks on. Put my boots on, give me these.” He takes her strappy heels, dangling them on his fingertips. 

Ember laughs as she steps into his shoes. She feels so ridiculous right now. His feet are three times the size of hers, and as he leads her to his car all she can do is stomp her way there so they actually stay on her feet.

Once he’s got her seated in his Jeep, and thanking himself for actually taking his Jeep and not the Tesla tonight, he lets his nerves bleed into confidence. 

“Are you hungry?” He asks looking over at her.

“What?”

“Food? Are you hungry?” 

Now that she’s thinking about it, yes she is. “Um, yeah. But I can make a snack when I get home.” 

“Or.” He says, turning into a side road diner she’s always heard of having good shakes. While he puts the Jeep in park she blushes in the passenger seat.

“You’re laying it on thick Mendes.” 

“That’s not fair, you’re calling me by my last name but I don’t know yours.”

“It’s Mills. Ember Rose Mills.” 

“That’s really beautiful.” Shawn smiles. 

Before Ember can even respond he’s slipping out of the Jeep, in only his socks, walking around and opening the door for her. 

“Let me feed you, and then I’ll take you home.” He compromises. “I can’t, in good nature, send you home hungry.” 

“If I’m late for work tomorrow because I’m overtired I’m blaming you.” 

“I’ll take all the blame.” He nods, placing his hands on her waist to lift her out of his Jeep.

“You’re just smooth huh?” She giggles as he tangles his fingers with hers on the walk to the doors of the diner.

“Not usually.” He answers with a laugh. “But if it’s working for you then let's go with it.” 

“Hi Shawn.” Doris smiles when she sees him enter. 

Doris is a 53 year old waitress at the diner. She’s been Shawn’s waitress for years. She knows his order like the back of her hand, and knows his stories inside and out. He’s really the only reason she enjoys the job.

“Hi Doris, is there a chance we can get my booth in the back?” He asks, plucking a menu from the waitress stand in the front by the door. 

“Of course, you know I always keep it empty in case you stroll in.” She smiles. “Can I get your order started?” 

He smiles, shaking his head. “Put my order in when my date does.” He says, tugging Ember back to the corner booth he usually takes claim in. 

“Come here often?” Ember asks as he helps her slide into a booth. 

“Yeah, it’s so discreet and hidden that I can come here whenever and no one cares who I am. Met Doris when I stopped in the first time to hide from paps. She recommended the bacon cheeseburger with a side of fries and ranch. Says it’s her favorite. So I tried it, and now it’s the only thing I order.” 

“That sounds really good.” Ember nods, watching as Doris smiles at her behind Shawn. 

“How are you Darling?” Doris asks. 

Shawn looks up with a wide smile, “I’m doing well Miss Doris.” He nods. “This is Ember MIlls, Ember this is Doris Mae.” 

“That’s a lovely name dear.” Doris smiles at Ember. “What can I get you?” 

“I’d love Shawn’s order please. With a Coke.” 

“Of course.” Doris nodded, turning to Shawn. “Lemonade or Soda today?” 

“Lemonade please.” He nods. 

“Coming right up.” 

“Thanks Doris.” 

**

The food was delicious, and Shawn watched in awe as Ember ate all her food and a few of his fries. Every girl he’s been around since his fame shot through the world refuses to eat in front of him. Like eating is a major turn off or something, trust him when he tells you it’s not.

They talked through their meal. Telling childhood stories, and tour memories, comparing concerts and ultimately deciding that they need to see one together soon. 

When she’s explaining what her pitch at work is about tomorrow Shawn feels a pang of guilt. She wanted to be home so she could get to bed and be well rested. Yet here she was munching on fries with him in the middle of the night.

He watched in adoration when she rubbed her eye with the back of her hand, smearing a little mascara. Her blinks were getting heavy and slow, and her body was relaxing in sleep. 

“Okay Cinderella.” Shawn says leaving money and a hefty tip on the table. “Let’s get you home.” 

“No,” She whines. “I’m having such a good time with you. I don’t wanna.” 

“Hey.” He reaches for her hand across the table. “Let me take you home so you can turn into Sleeping Beauty. That way you get a little sleep before this killer pitch.” 

“You’re lines are getting worse.” She grins at him. 

He rolls his eyes as he pulled her from the booth, hugging her from behind when he walks her out. He winks at Doris when he passes her, tale tell sign that he got her note on the receipt and he intended to do as she said. 

‘Don’t let her go Shawn. No girl stays up all night to get her heart broken.’

He gets her situated in the passenger seat and climbs in himself, smiling as she tries to scoot as close to him as she can. He’s never hated a center console so much in his life. 

He drapes his arm over the console and she quickly hugs against his arm, resting her cheek on his shoulder. “You work out?” She slurs as she squeezes his arm.

“Yeah, every morning.” He nods.

“I can tell.” 

Just for effect he flexes his arm and smirks as she giggles against his skin. He looks over when he turns down her street, heart melting at the sight of her so comfortable with him already. Something was different with this. He hoped this was something that could last a while. 

He parked and dreaded the fact that he was dropping her off. True to his gentleman fashion he walked her to her door, making sure she got the door unlocked okay. 

“Lock the door behind me okay?” He said nodding at her. 

“Okay.” 

“And kill it at work tomorrow.” 

“Okay.” She smiles softly. 

“And maybe you can call me after the pitch to tell me how it goes?” He raises an eyebrow.

“Hand me your phone.” She says, pointing to him with her chin. 

He scrambles, but quickly gets his phone open and ready for her to put her info in. She types a few things and hands it back.

“I texted myself so I have your number. I’ll let you know how it goes.”

“Okay.” He nods. He slowly leans in a little, hinting that he really fucking wants to kiss her. 

She inhales sharply, leaning up on her toes. He ghosts his lips over hers, waiting for her to reject him at any moment. Not wanting to pressure her at all. When she doesn’t do anything but curl her fingers into the side of his shirt he goes for it. He slowly presses his lips to hers, allowing himself to respect the simplicity of this kiss. 

It gets a little needy when she sucks his bottom lip into her mouth, tracing over it with her tongue. It’s the biggest cliche known to man, and the amount of books she read about it can be counted as embarrassing, but she feels the spark. It’s like this zing went through her entire body when he touched her, and now that he’s kissing her it feels like she’s vibrating. 

Shawn pulls back, breathing heavy, resting his forehead against hers. “Let’s not go too fast.” He nods. It’s hard, but he controls the urge to push her against the door and blow her goddamn mind. 

“I’ll talk to you tomorrow Honey.” He whispers, lips brushing over hers. He leaves her with another small kiss. 

He watches with dark, hungry, eyes when she reaches a hand up to touch her tingling lips. She looks innocent, but sexy, and it makes his knees buckle. 

“Okay.” She nods, smiling softly as she looks up at him. “Thanks for the ride home.” 

“My pleasure.” He grins, backing away to his Jeep. 

“Goodnight Shawn.” 

“Goodnight Ember.” 

He waits in his car for her to close and lock the door, smiling to himself as he looks to his phone double checking he got her number. He laughs and shakes his head when he sees her contact information.

hi what's gin taste like?

It tastes very similar to what it smells like! Which is juniper berries! If you find the kind of tree that makes juniper berries and stick your nose right up in the wood to sniff the wood oils it tastes sorta like that!

I've mixed it with lime juice and sparkling grapefruit water, which cuts the alcoholic bitter taste somewhat. It's commonly combined with citrus juices (gin-and-juice) where the sweetness of the juice can cut the bitterness of the gin.

Several years before I started drinking, I had dorm friends (Atwood, not East, for those in the know) who were very into gin, and out of culinary curiosity I would smell their cocktails. Gin smelled quite lovely to me: a good precursor to it becoming one of my favourite liquors and in fact the main alcohol component in my signature cocktail!

Now I am the designated gin-and-tonic creator for my mom when she throws fancy parties lol

Here are some popular new year cocktail ideas for you,

Juniper Champagne Cocktail: This will definitely help you keep going. Though you will need to add the final touch before serving it, the main preparation can be done up to a week in advance. You will need to add sugar and juniper berries to around two cups of water and heat it while stirring continuously. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool down. Strain using a muslin cloth to remove the solids and refrigerate for around a week or 10 days. When serving of the eve party, just pour three tablespoons of the mixture with half a glass of sparkling wine and serve with ic

You just need to mix the ingredients with champagne and serve with ice cubes. That’s it.

Hence, with these easy-to-prepare cocktails, you can say that one part of your New Year’s eve party is sorted.

Set The New Year’s Eve Party Table Like A Pro One of the best DIY decorations you can have this New Year. These interesting and crafty party table decorations would add a bit of spice to the sophistication. And this is what you need to make the party a memorable one.

And since this affects the ambience of the party directly, it is considered to be one of the top New Year party ideas. All you need are some sheets of coloured paper, balloons and some adhesive. Take a sheet of paper and cut out long pieces, ideally of the size of 12 x 3 inch. Roll the sheet completely and stick the end with glue. Now with a pair of scissors, make around 5-6 slits that are about 50% the height of the roll. Once done, pull the inside of the roll outwards to make it look like a fountain stick.....

Now take a sheet of coloured-pattern paper and cut it into a rectangular piece of the size 12×6 inch. Take the sheet and roll it over, holding one side, so that you get a funnel-shaped cone and stick the edge. Now insert the fountain stick over the cone head and fix it there with sellotape. And there you have the New Year hat fountain that you can place at the centre of the table along with the balloons to go with it. You can also write New Year quotes or wishes on the hat for your friends to come and read.

Throw A Theme Party Go-retro Though a very old idea, this will never be out-of-fashion. A theme party is always fun. However, selecting the most appropriate theme for the best New Year party ideas can be a little difficult. There are some of the most interesting themes that you can base your New Year party on.

Go retro: And indeed, this is one of the most popular themes that are very common in parties in India. New Year’s eve has maiory  of party-goers dressed up in their best and newest-fashion attire. So if you get the theme be retro, expect a lot of attendance, all of them wearing retro-styled dresses. But make sure that you keep the decoration relevant to the theme, along with some of the most exotic retro cocktails or at least mocktails.

The majestic party: how about a party with all the guest dressed up in extravagant gowns with tiaras and blazing suits? Sure it would look like a grandeur, more like a grand reception of the Prince or Princess in town. And then, watch everyone get the rocking countdown to the New year before the fireworks go up.

Balloons Never Go Out Of Fashion Balloons Never Go Out Of Fashion Balloons are probably the best way to do it. Christmas has just been a week into the past and New year is knocking at the door. So go ahead and ask some of your friends to come over and help you get the balloon-decorated gate done, which you can use at the main entrance along with a big banner wishing all the guests a very happy New Year.

When you get to decorate your house or the party venue with balloons and get some of your friends to join hands with you, the feeling of excitement will be just memorable, and this is what makes it one of the best New Year’s parties ideas.

The decorations should aptly include a big balloon entrance and a red carpet leading to the party hall. Also, it would be apt if you leave a lot of balloons laying on the floor. And yes, if you have made ar.......... for drinks, make sure that your bar serves more than a couple of cocktails.

Plan Games, Interesting Ones Plan Games the Interesting Ones If you are looking to throw a party for a core group of friends or even a medium number of invitees, make sure that you don’t make it too dull for the introverts around. More often than not, introverts find it extremely difficult to get going in an environ that has loud music, a dance floor and plenty of drinks on offer.
