Hello, darlings! I wanted to say that I won't post now since me and my family are going camping and we will stay there for a week!

The problem is that the internet is really bad there, but I will try to post if I can.

If I will post the challenge/meme that @scrambledmeggys did, it might not have it's banner, it might be too short or it won't be posted at all. Though, I will try to post if I can!

But, if I cannot post while I'm on the field with my family, then when I get back from camping I will make all the posts that I needed to do, so don't worry!

I love you all❤❤❤

Kisses!♡

"Let's go in! Let's go in! Let's go in!" You shook Edge by his side.

"Okay, okay, okay!!" He huffed.

There was a new candy shop near your place and you really craved something sweet right now!

It would be nice to eat or maybe even drink chocolate!

You held Edge's arm as you two walked in and admired the place.

"It's so big!" You were in awe. "Look! Chocolate everywhere!!" You pointed towards a section that sold different type of chocolates.

"Yeah, yeah." He gently shook his skull, but there was a grin present on his face.

You looked around the place a bit. There were many sections: chocolate section, candy section, hot chocolate section, marshmallow section, cake section and so many more.

Of course, you went to the chocolate section first.

"Daridana, wait." Edge patted your shoulder to get your attention.

You turned around. "Yes?"

"How about a game?" When you listened for more, he continued, "you pick out a treat you think I might like from your favourite section and I pick out a treat I think you might like from my favorite section." He explained.

"That's a good idea, why not?" You grinned.

Then, you both went to see what the other one might want from your favourite section.

You went to the chocolate section, but then you went to the cake section, but then you went to the chocolate section again, then again at the cake section.... wooo boy was that a hard decision.

You ended up in the chocolate section after all.

There were many chocolate boxes, but none were appealing to you. You looked at some chocolate bars, but those weren't romantic enough! But it was all there was to this section...

You looked at the chocolate boxes again and saw- NO WAY!!!

They got Hello Kitty stuff! They got Hello Kitty donuts, Hello Kitty biscuits, Hello Kitty cupcakes...! You were in heaven!

You picked some Hello Kitty donuts and some cupcakes. Since it's a new shop, the prices were actually very cheap.

You went back were you left Edge and saw that he was back there, looking for you.

Once he spot you, you hurried your steps and got next to him.

"What did you buy that made you look so happy?" He asked, smirking. He had a bag but denied to show you what's inside before you tell him what you bought.

You quickly showed him what's in your bag. "Look, they have Hello Kitty stuff!!" You smiled in excitement and he chuckled. "Do you like it??" You asked.

"Of course I do, I love it." He confirmed. Despite not showing any signs or telling you, you knew for a long time that Edge liked cute stuff and especially Hello Kitty.

"What did you buy?" You wanted to steal his bag to take a look.

"Here." He handed you the bag and you looked into it.

NO WAY AGAIN!!!!

He got you some coconut shampoo and stuff to take care of yourself, soo cute! And he also got a chocolate wine???

"Hey, since when did you like wine or shampoo?? You don't even have hair!" You giggled.

"What can I say...? I really like you...~" He purred.

"Okay, but wine??" You asked, still smiling and blushing at the compliment .

"Well, it's my second favourite section." He told you.

"Oh? What's your first one?" You titled your head in confusion.

"You.~" he smirked, "but since I couldn't just go to you... I went to my second favourite section!" He chirped.

You blushed. "Okay, Mister Flattery!" You giggled.

"Now, let's go home because I got a surprise for you~" he wriggled his boney eyebrows (???)

"What is it????" You were excited.

"You'll see, my cutie." He held your hand and started walking out.

"Give me a clue at least!!" You were too happy to wait.

"Fine, fine." He chuckled again. "It's an edible cat-"

"YOU GOT ME A HELLO KITTY CAKE??!!!??" You shouted, gripping his hand more.

"HOW'D YOU KNOW???!!" He was shocked.

"YAAAAAAYY!!" You hugged him and kissed his cheek.

Then, you too went home and ate everything like two Ferals than you were.♡

Wait... since when did candy shops sell shampoo and wine???

Stop trying to see your DR if it’s driving you crazy. Actually, stop trying to force any angle if it’s making you anxious

(I’ve been debating whether to post this for over a month because I kept thinking it might overcomplicate things. Honestly, it’s mostly for me to share a viewpoint I’ve been mulling over. It’s about how instant manifestation and pattern recognition works my unfortunately logical mind soo...take if it resonates, discard if it doesn’t :/)

If you can decide something’s yours and treat anything that contradicts it as noise, great, keep doing that, you don’t need to hear this. But if you struggle, genuinely struggle, then you don’t have to keep beating a dead horse. If you hate trying to see your DR, pretending you’re already in your DR, if you hate waiting for the visuals, STOP TRYING TO SEE IT.

Stop staring into your CR hoping to catch a glimpse of your DR, and instead focus on being the person who can shift there in the first place.

Because here’s the thing: seeing your DR is an external lens pattern (I’ll explain what that is in a second). If you’re the kind of person who obsesses over “Do I see it yet? Am I there yet?” you’re relying on proof, which means your brain is scanning for a logical “yes” or “no.” And if you’ve been stuck, that answer is almost always “no,” which just reinforces the same loop.

When I stopped asking “Can I see my DR?” and started asking “Am I the person who can shift to my DR?” the whole game changed. I didn’t need proof for that. I didn’t need to see my DR for it to be true. I could assume “I’m the person who shifts,” and had nothing to contest because that’s not dependent on whether I’m seeing visuals, hearing sounds, or feeling sensations.

And the second you think that way, you’ve basically cut the dependency on an external “yes/no” signal. You’ve flipped the lens. You’re not asking reality to prove anything to you— you’re deciding who you are and letting reality scramble to keep up. That’s why it works so fast.

Internal-lens pattern

Observing and interpreting reality through yourself; your thoughts, feelings, abilities, and role in a situation. Example: “I must have done something wrong, that’s why they’re ignoring me.”

External-lens pattern

Observing and interpreting reality through the environment; people, events, and circumstances outside yourself. Example: “They didn’t text me because they’re busy, or the situation isn’t favorable right now.”

Both are ways your mind recognizes patterns, and flipping between them lets you bypass contradictions.

The whole point is to break the momentum of the unhelpful pattern before it cements itself.

You don’t argue with it, you don’t try to force it to be “positive,” you just jump to the opposite lens and let that perspective carry you.

Pattern recognition is your bestie. Literally. Sometimes (not always) it’s the thing that green-lights manifestation to your logical mind. Think about it, every time you set an intention, like “I’m going to shift tonight,” your brain instantly coughs up a pattern to explain why it won’t happen. And that pattern is the giveaway.

If the pattern sounds like “I’ve failed so many times,” “I can never do this,” “every night I try it’s always the same,” notice the I in there.

That’s internal. That’s you blaming yourself, looping it back to your identity. And the second you catch that, flip it outward.

But if you’re the opposite—if you run external—your brain will feed you patterns like: “The method never works, a family member always wakes me up, there’s always noise outside, my environment just never cooperates, the attempts always fail, etc” Okay, great, you caught the external lens. So flip it.

When you flip it, suddenly you’re manifesting from a layer you usually ignore, which makes it feel fresh—and bypasses the resistance you’ve accidentally been feeding for years.

And if you’ve read this far and think “flipping perspective doesn’t matter,” then I ask: what was your outlook on life before you flipped it to believing in manifestation and shifting?

But (huge but):

It’s not that you’re always an internal-lens person or always an external-lens person across all situations. It’s situational, you’re not a robot. Some things, you automatically scan through yourself first (your thoughts, feelings, history, patterns). Other things, your attention naturally goes outward (environment, circumstances, what’s happening around you).

The key is noticing which lens you’re using in the moment and knowing you can flip it. Some situations call for an internal perspective, some for an external one.

For example, the other day I was craving sushi, so my first thoughts veered toward the internal lens: “Sushi is too expensive for me right now (it’s not, I’m just a cheap bitch). Nobody’s gonna want to go out for sushi with me. This isn’t realistic for me because it’s a Tuesday afternoon.” All of it pointed back to me as the problem.

But then I flipped the lens. I said: “Okay, I want sushi. Therefore, anything that tells me I won’t get sushi is an illusion.” And since I treat “illusion spotting” as an external pattern recognition game, the second I framed it that way, my brain stopped nitpicking me and started side-eyeing the outside world for false evidence.

Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I felt—because all of that was just “illusion noise.” I’d already decided sushi was happening. And it did. Instantly. Stupidly, tbh. My friend literally called me 20 minutes later and said she was craving sushi, then asked if I was up for going out with her to get sushi, and that she’d pay.

That’s the point: if you’re stuck, it might be because you’re manifesting through the lens you’ve been overusing your whole life to try to explain why XYZ will happen, and won’t happen.

Flip it, and the resistance falls apart, because you’re using one line of logic to explain why the other line of logic is actually illogical to your intention.

That’s why if you’re always looking through the external lens, obsessed with seeing your DR— stop. Stop trying to see it, stop asking reality to flash you proof. Because “Do I see my DR?” is an external question, and external questions are yes/no traps. If the answer comes back “no,” you’re stuck in the loop again, and you are going to keep scanning it over and over. I encourage you to label whatever contradiction you’re seeing, but that’s still external.

If that’s something you’re still struggling with, instead, flip inward: don’t ask if you see it, ask who you are.

The point is: whichever way you flip, you end up landing back in power.

Because the external world only exists in your awareness, and your awareness is you. Change how you observe yourself, and the world you observe reshapes. Change how you observe the world, and your self-image reshapes. As within, so without. As above, so below, yadda yadda yadda. Your awareness is the snake and reality is the tail. You’re an ouroboros.

“I don’t even know how to apply this, I didn’t understand anything you just said”

Okay cool, let me break it down with some examples:

Suppose your best friend is mad at you, you want to manifest that they speak to you again.

External observation: “They’re short with me, they don’t want to talk, they must be mad.”

External attempt to manifest: “They texted me right now, they’re texting as I speak, of course they’re calling me right now.” → stressed, external evidence seems to contradict intention.

Flip inward: “I’m their best friend. They can never stay mad at me for too long. I’m not bothered by this because it’ll be resolved soon.” → smooth manifestation, no contradiction.

Suppose you’re struggling with school.

Internal observation: “I’m too dumb for this subject, I can’t get it right, I always fail tests.”

Internal attempt to manifest: “I’m smart, I’m a genius, I can answer every question perfectly.” → stressed, internal evidence conflicts.

Flip outward: “The next exam could have easy questions, the teacher could grade generously, circumstances could bend in my favor tonight.....I intend to do well with school, so the external will bend to my favor” → smooth manifestation, no contradiction.

When you hold intention as the central axis, the sheer spread of patterns becomes irrelevant except in how they serve, bend, or dissolve in light of that intention. Patterns are the illusion forms that reality dresses itself up in. They can look infinite, they can seem to contradict each other, they can distract,,, but none of that matters, because your intention treats them as secondary phenomena. The only thing not swallowed by illusion is the intention itself.

“But I keep internally telling myself I’m a master shifter and I’m still in my DR”

SO FLIP THE PATTERN. Remember when I just said “flip it, and the resistance falls apart, because you’re using one line of logic to explain why the other line of logic is actually illogical” ?

WELL, if you’re someone who’s always inward, telling yourself “I’m a master shifter, I know this, I do everything right… but I still can’t shift, I keep failing,” then you’re choking on your own self-definitions.

That’s when you flip outward— and by outward, I don’t mean chasing proof or scanning patterns of failure. I don’t mean searching for your DR.

I mean looking at the possibility pattern. The external is wide open: Tonight could be favorable. Tonight you could naturally drift into an altered state without even trying. A method could work. Tonight your dream could turn lucid and you shift from there. Tonight your body could relax so deep, it makes the transition effortless. You could come up with a method on the spot that makes you shift. Tonight hypnagogia could be so deep that it pulls you in. Tonight external sounds or sensations could cue the shift unexpectedly. Tonight your dream could pivot toward your DR spontaneously.

You don’t knowwww. You’re just scanning for possibility patterns and assuming what will happen from there. So stop assuming that “because I failed 100 times, this next attempt will also be a failure.” And start assuming from “Because ABC XYZ, it means I can succeed.”

The external lens opens endless pathways that you can’t disprove. You can’t prove that none of those possibilities could happen, so automatically you’ve broken the loop.

And if you find yourself arguing that none of it will happen—because “none of those things ever work out”—well, that’s just an external pattern loop, isn’t it? So flip it inward. If you hate looking outward, remind yourself: you’re someone who can make the external happen.

Why it all boils down to “just assume it’s yours” (🙄)

Everything boils down to what you observe. The external world, the people around you, the circumstances; they’re all filtered through your awareness. What you notice, what patterns your mind latches onto, what you decide to give significance to—that’s what shapes your reality.

When you observe a situation through one lens—internal or external—you create a loop. If you only scan internally, you see patterns about yourself that can reinforce doubt or limitation. If you only scan externally, you see patterns in the world that seem to contradict your intentions. Either way, you get stuck in evidence that opposes what you want.

Label them as illusion, irrelevant, noise, and go about your day. That’s what I do. Buuuut, if pattern recognition is stifling your success, then the magic happens when you flip the lens. External contradictions become internal observations, and internal doubts become external possibilities.

When you flip your perspective, you remove contradictions. You’re not asking the world to prove anything, but deciding what’s true. You observe reality not as it seems, but as it must be according to your intention.

[darlingdarii]

sometimes people say, “if you know it’s yours, why would you even ask if you’ll have it? isn’t that contradicting?”

...they’re speaking from the ego’s framework, where asking seems like a contradiction.

but here’s the thing: the only reason you even ask “will i get it?” is because deep down, you already know you do.

if you truly believed you wouldn’t, the question wouldn’t arise at all.

if you were truly in lack, the question wouldn’t even show up, it would just feel like a closed door, like “nope, not possible.” the very fact the mind is asking “will i get it?” means the knowing is already alive in Awareness, and the ego is just fumbling around.

so instead of being proof of doubt, the question is proof of possession. it’s like the echo of already having.

questions aren’t contradictions; they’re evidence of knowing. the ego frames the question as doubt, but awareness knows it’s just confirmation: you wouldn’t even be asking unless it was already yours.

so the next time your mind goes, “but will it happen?” you can flip it: “the fact that i even asked proves it’s already mine.”

Day Nineteen, day to go to the beach!!

♡Day Nineteen: Beach♡

"So he did fall asleep.." You told him, not really surprised.

"He is very lazy." He nodded.

Red was in the sand, his lower half looked like a mermaid.

You and Edge thought it would be fun to put Red in the sand and make him a mermaid. It didn't took a lot of convincing and he accepted to be made a sand mermaid.

Though, Red fell asleep in the making and he still didn't wake up. For amusement, you put sunglasses on him and giggled.

"He looks funny like this." You whispered.

Edge nodded. "Indeed."

You and Edge both sat on the sand next to the sleeping Red and looked towards the sea.

"Wanna go swimming?" You asked, looking at the tall skeleton.

"You bet." He smirked. "Last one to get there is a cracked egg!" He shouted as he got the head start and started running towards the sea.

"Hey, not fair!" You got up and ran after him.

Curse his tall form! He almost made it! What a cheater.

As sand was gently burning your feet and the wind caressed your hair and face, you thought of a way to win this race.

It didn't take long, because an idea occured to you.

"Ow! Dammit!" You fell on the sand, holding your right knee safely. "Help! I injured myself!" You faked your cry.

Edge quickly turned around to see the sight of you on the ground, your knee close to your chest.

"What's wrong?!" He quickly sprinted towards you, kneeling down to see what's going on.

"M-My knee... it hurts.." you told him. It wasn't a total like though, your knee did hurt from this morning. Your knee usually starts to hurt after you sit crisscrossed with your legs for a few months every single day for too long. And you do sit like that when you listen to music.

"Come here..." Edge caressed your shoulder, soothing you. He started to examine your knee and see what's wrong.

Then, you kissed his cheek, got up and started to run towards the sea. The first few steps were... funny, because your knee did hurt, but you quickly started to run better afterwards.

Edge was shocked and worried, but laughed as he ran after you. Just as he was about to pass you, you got in the water.

"Ha! I win! I win!" You grinned at your victory.

"Yeah, after you cheated." He rolled his eyelights.

"Come on, it was fun-" Edge carried you bridal style and walked towards the rocks by the shore and placed you down on them. "Uhhh... Edge??" You called out."

"I'm examining your knee, dear." He informed you before you could ask anything. "You've been complaining about your knee since you accidentally tripped on a rock in the water and injured yourself." He mumbled. "Everytime you sit too long in a crisscross position with your legs... your knee start hurting and this pain lasts for at least a week, no?" He asked.

You nodded. "Yeah, but-"

"Shhh. Silence." He ordered you. "It's better if we see a doctor." Edge informed you.

"Can we at least swim?" You asked, trying your best with the puppy eyes.

"Of course." Edge nodded, making you smile. "But after we see a doctor." There goes your smile.

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

After the doctor took a look at you, they said that it's not that bad. You just need some physiotherapy for strengthening quads, hamstrings and glutes so the knee is stabilized. Plus, you need to learn proper posture to avoid stress.

Edge said you will start your physiotherapy after you all come back home from the beach. And so it is.

But since you really wanted to swim, he decided you can sit on a heart-shaped float to not force your knee, at least for a while.

Red joined you two and sat on the heart-shaped float too. But not for long, since you pushed him off. Most of the time, Edge and Red did bets and competitions to see who will win.

None of them. That's the answer.

You kept the scores and it turned out that they are equal.

After all of that, they both sat next to you and gossiped about everything and anything while they brought some drinks you could all share.

Welcome to the small beach party, baby!

[darlingdarii]

Day Eighteen! Are you ready?? 'Cause I'm not. Gonna see those fishes swimming☺

What to expect: Self!insert x UF!Paps, a little bit of swearing, a little bit of angst.

♡Day Eighteen: Aquarium♡

"It's moving!" You gasped.

"Of course it is, it's alive not dead." Edge rolled his eyelights at your attempt to annoy him.

You two decided that going to the aquarium would be a good idea. So here you were, in front of a fish tank.

"Would Undyne feel uncomfortable if she was here? I mean, a fish seeing a fish in jail must be weird, right?" You asked, looking at Edge.

He only shrugged. "Maybe, who knows." Then, he moved on to see the octopus.

"Ooooo, the octopus looks nice!" You commented.

"Indeed." He smiled.

"Would Onion-San feel appreciated because there is an octopus in the center??" You titled your head.

Edge let out a "I don't know" sound.

Moving on, there is a fish with a tail that reminds you of Shyren!

"Oh wow, Edge! Look! It looks like mini Shyren! Soo cute!" Your smile grew.

"Mhm." Edge nodded.

"Look! A lizard! I think they got lost! They shouldn't be here.." you mumbled.

There was a yellow lizard looking at you confused, surely lost.

You went to pick it up and give it to the 'Lost and Found'.

"Adorable." You complimented the lizard as they slowly made way to you. Once they got in your hands, you went to show Edge. "Edge, look! Doesn't it look like Aplhys a bit? They're both yellow!" You commented.

He only let out a grunt of acknowledgement.

You furrowed your brow. "You okay...?" You asked.

He nodded, turning around and started to walk. "Let's take them to 'lost and found.'" He simply told you.

"Okay..." you agreed and started walking after him.

Outside of the aquarium was a little boy crying. You and Edge quickly rushed to him.

"What's wrong?" You both asked at the same time.

"I-I lost Lissy..." he replied, tears rushing down his cheeks.

"You mean... this lizard right here?" You holded 'Lissy' up to his face.

"Yeah! Where did you found her?" He excitedly took Lissy back to him.

"It was in the aquarium, roaming around with nothing better to do." You grinned.

"Thank you!" The boy hugged you and Edge at the same time.

"No problem, little one." Edge reassured him.

Then, the boy rushed to his parents, holding the lizard safely.

"Phew, at least that is resolved." You told him.

"Yeah." He gave a simple answer.

He started walking to other parts of the zoo, with you following him.

"What's wrong? You seem a bit sad." You pointed the obvious.

"Nothing." Was his only answer.

"Are you sure?"

"..Yeah."

...

"Okay."

..

...

....

...

..

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

You tried cheering Edge up with ice cream, funny faces, jokes, even puns seemed to not affect him anymore.

You ended up being silent and watching two goats staring at each other.

You tried to initiate conversation.

"Heh, that looks like a normal interaction between Miss Toriel and Mister Asgore, right?" You grinned, joking.

Edge sighed, shaking his skull. His expression seemed more... depressing? Angry?

Your grin faded away. "Too bad of a joke?" You mumbled.

He shaked his skull again. "It's not that.." he quietly replied.

"Then, what's wrong?" You tried again. The weather seems to be wanting to rain too. The cloud were getting darker and darker.

"It's just... you always talk about somebody else." He started. Your eyes widened at the realisation. He wasn't mad at you, he was mad that you were talking about other people. "Look," he turned into your direction, "I have no problem with you talking about other people, it's just that you never shut up about them. I get it, you like being friends with them and all that... but what about me?"

You tried to find the right words for this. "Edge, I'm sorry. I just... don't realise when I hurt somebody or when I talk too much. I never wanted to make you feel left out or that I don't care about you! I do." You explained.

It was true. Ever since you got to the zoo, you kept talking about other people, not about you two.

"I can't help the way I am, but..."

"But?" Edge asked, a soggy expression on his face.

"But I will try my best to start seeing us. Just us." You told him.

He looked away, to the goats. Thunder started to make noise and soon lighting followed.

"It's hard..." you admit. When Edge seemed to be listening to you, you continued. "It's hard to imagine... to realise that I have someone that's so caring, y'know?" You started to explain. "Never in my life I thought that someone would be so invested in me and would actually care for my opinion and to spend time with me...." you muttered. "Of course, my best friend was always there for me, but you? You feel... different. In the best way possible...." you were honest with him.

He hugged you... tightly.

"Of course I would care for you, dumbass. I love you." He made it clear.

You both stayed like that until rain decided it would be a good idea to start wetting people.

You both ran home hand in hand laughing. It was fun! And everything seemed to be clear.

"Hey Edge?!" You yelled at him to hear you in all of your running and laughing.

"Yes??!" He gave you a big smile.

"I love you too, dummy!" You exclaimed.

He blushed and held your hand tighter.

It was a nice day, wasn't it?

The rainbow seemed to make their way on the sky as the sun was lighting up the storm. But the rain and thunder still didn't stop. Not that you minded, of course.

At home, you two took turns in taking a shower and then you both cuddled, planning to make a fort later since the storm wanted to persist more at midnight, so you two would have a small sleepover, 'cause why not?

Day seventeen!! I'm glad I made it this far!

@scrambledmeggys

What to expect: Swearing, self!insert x UF!Paps.

♡Day Seventeen: Roadtrip♡

.

♡

.

♡♡

♡♡♡

.

It was going to be a good time!

You, Edge, Undyne, Alphys and your bestie decided a road trip would be a good idea.

You packed clothes, Edge packed food, your bestie packed games, Undyne and Alphys packed books and other things to do whenever.

Edge bought a van a few days ago and actually suggested that it should be decorated, then you can all go on a road trip to who-knows-where!

The bags went in the back with you, Undyne and Alphys. Your bestie wanted to drive, but so did Edge. It was war a friendly argument! It was decided that Edge will drive half the way and then your best friend will drive the other half.

Despite your tiredness from waking up at a unholy time, you were exited and happy.

Undyne and Alphys played gambling games with you... the loser has to say something embarrassing.

"Come on! Chicken already??" Undyne smirked, looking at you.

"No?" You responded back. It mostly sounded like a question.

It wasn't that you were scared or anything. It was just that you were sure that they will make you say something embarrassing to Edge. And you couldn't do that to your crush childhood friend!

Alphys picked up the card game and cleared her throat. "Well, are we playing or just gossiping??" She asked, wanting to make things clear.

You sighed and nodded. "Yeah... we will play." You accepted. You heard and saw Undyne throw a fist in the air and quietly saying 'YES!'. "But with one condition." You made things clear. Undyne huffed at the word 'condition'. "We can play and I can lose for all I care... but, I won't say anything or do anything embarrassing in front of Edge." You stated. You couldn't risk looking like a fool in front of him!

"Ugh, fine." Undyne crossed her arms.

"Why? Are you scared he will make fun of you?~" Alphys asked in a sing-song voice and smirked.

"No..." you mumbled.

"Then-" Alphys tried, but she was quickly interrupted.

"Shut it!" You hissed.

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

The game went well and luckily you haven't lost any of the rounds yet. You just hoped you didn't jinxed yourself...

Well, at least you had big chances to win this ga-

You lost.

Your eyes widened.

"H-How???" You were shocked. "There was no way you could have won! You cheated!" You protested.

"What?~ Are you a sore loser?~" Undyne raised her eyebrows and lowered them in repetition.

You did jinx yourself. Damn it.

When Alphys lost, she was dared by you to say some cringe bullshit in Japanese to Undyne.

When Undyne lost, she was dared to say the most cringest thing ever to Alphys.

You were scared what they will dare you to do. You did put the condition to not say anything or do anything cringe in front of Edge after all.

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

They didn't care.

The van stopped at a gas station to be filled up and to eat. Of course, Edge said that you should all eat on a bench somewhere, because he didn't want the van dirty.

So here you were, eating on a bench next to the two idiots that come up with stupid ideas.

"Do it!" Undyne pushed.

"Yeah!" Alphys smirked.

"No!" You responded. "I said I will do nothing or say something cringe to Edge!" You would die of embarrassment!

"Yeah, you said nothing cringe. This isn't cringe." Undyne defended herself.

You hated the fact that she was right.

You sighed. "But-"

"No buts! Now go to him!" Alphys beckon you.

"Yeah girl, go!" Your best friend wiggled her eyebrows.

"When did you come here?! And how do you know-" your eyes widened.

"Girl, I was right here eating and I heard everything in the van." She explained.

"Great..." you sighed for what seemed the millionth time.

"You should go, we won't look! But we don't promise either!" Your bestie snickered.

"Fuck you!" You cursed. "Fine, I'll go!" You got up.

You went to Edge, who was filling up the van with gas.

When he saw you he waved at you. "Hello, Daridana-" he tried to greet you.

But he couldn't. Because you wrapped your arms around his neck and kissed him.

His eye-sockets were wide and his hands stilled. But he soon took control of himself and wrapped his arms around your waist, starting to become more comfortable with the kiss.

You haven't stayed there for long probably, but it did seem like an eternity.

When you broke the kiss, he looked straight into your eyes.

There was silence for a few moments. But then, he spoke, having a dreamy look on his face:

"You're such a bad kisser..." he mumbled.

You giggled. "Says the one with no lips!"

He leaned in to kiss you again and you gladly accepted it. The kiss continued good, until...

Someone from the store shouted something about the gas and when you both looked at your van, the gas was was leaking put from the van.

"Shit!" Edge cursed, taking it out. But he did hold an arm around your waist.

"Soo cute!" Your bestie shouted.

"Kiss again!" Alphys smirked.

"When are you going to-" Undyne started, but you glared at her. "Fine, my bad." She raised her hands in a defense motion.

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

Well, you payed the guy who worked at the store.

You all got into the van. Your bestie was ready to drive.

Edge had you sit on his lap while he played with your hair and Alphys with Undyne were in the 'punishment corner'. You enjoyed it.

Later, it was night time and you arrived on a field. The stars were amazing!

You all got on the van and started to stargaze.

You were cuddled up next to Edge and his hand was caressing you. You caressed his ribs in return, since it was the only place you could caresses comfortably in that position.

You were all in the van, sleeping.

The day together was awesome and tomorrow you would all go explore some places and then go back home.

But for now? You will just enjoy sleeping in Edge's arms.

"What's wrong?" Edge asked groggy when he felt you shift, slowly opening his eye-sockets to look at you. "Are you hungry?" He wanted to make sure, out of love. ♡

"No, just getting more comfortable." You told him.

He nodded and held you tighter, nuzzling the crook of your neck. And in return, you drool all over him. Out of love, of course! ♡

♡Day Sixteen: Surprise!♡

Today, you needed to make a special cake for Lily.

It seemed that Lily needed a cake for her cafe, since a customer ordered a very special cake and they even pay double! And who better with cakes other than you?

Were you going to bake a cake? No.

You suck at baking, the only thing you're good at is tasting them and judging. So that's why you're going to be the judge of tasting cakes made by Lily and other friends.

You just couldn't wait! Free cake? Just for you? Hell yeah!

You met Lily at her cafe and set down your bag. She said that, in the best worst case scenario, you will be here for a few hours.

"Okay, let me bring in the first cake!" She said, going in the kitchen.

Not long after she came back with a dark blue cake in the theme of fish. You have a small idea of who made that.

"Please, try it." She beckon you.

Without needing to be told twice, you took a spoonful of the blue cake.

"So, how is it?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

Before you could comment, Undyne came into the same space as you two. "You better say that it's good!" She smirked.

"Well... not that bad, but...." you made an so-so hand motion, "the taste is kinda salty... very... actually." You were raw honest.

"Oh, c'mon!" Undyne huffed.

The next cake was yellow-ish, with the theme of lizards and science. You already knew who made this.

The taste was.... interesting to say the least. It had a combination of... lemons with strawberries and berries??

Alphys came too, excited for your honesty.

"Soo?-" she started to say, but you interrupted her.

"Tastes just like science: complicated. In a bad way. Sorry." You apologised, putting the spoon down.

The next cake was made by Lily herself, if the nature theme was anything to go on.

It was... delicious! But it needed something else too....

"It's actually good... but it just feels a little empty.." you said, thoughtful.

"Awh!" Lily sighed. Until her face suddenly brighten up. "Wait! I have another cake!" She went into the kitchen and quickly came back.

The last cake was.... enormous... it was decorated with whipping cream, probably coffee and strawberries.

When you went close to it to taste it, it exploded on you.

"Surprise!" Everyone shouted.

In the cake was Edge! He surprised you!

"But... why??" You asked, shocked in the best way possible.

"Because it is the day you and Edge met!" Lily excitedly exclaimed. Her pet was trying hard not to fall off her shoulder.

"Wait- really?" Your eyes widened.

"I thought you forgot." Edge smirked and shook his skull.

Undyne and Alphys were both enjoying this.

"Well.... jokes on you!" You grinned, taking out a present from your bag. "I was prepared for this day!" You shouted.

Now it was Edge's turn to look surprised. "Really?" He bewildered asked.

"Duh!" You gave him the present box, which was small.

He took it and took a look inside. There were two rings!

One ring was for Edge and the other was for you.

"I wanted to gift you these as a promise to always remain together." You smiled, going next to him.

He quickly wore the ring and then, with a sparkle in his eyelight, he took your hand and kissed it, putting the ring-

"Hold it!" Someone yelled. Everyone looked shocked as they watched the door. It was your bestie! "Doing marriage without me?" She smirked.

Before you could go to her, she made a hand motion for this to continue.

Edge kneal down in front of you. "Daridana.... do you promise to stay with me forever?" He asked, the sparkle in his eyelights more glittery.

You smiled, small tears appearing in your eyes. You nodded. "Yes!"

He put the ring on your ring finger and got up. Everyone was cheering.

You weren't actually marrying each other, but the thought was nice... even thought you were just best friends! Nothing more! ...Right?

You stole Edge's ring from his finger and kneald in front of him too. "Edge, you moron, would you like to spend all your life and other lifetimes and other lifetimes from other universes, multimverses, in everything and nothing at all... with me?" You asked.

You weren't blind, you saw how he was trying not to cry. He wasn't subtle at aall, was he?

He nodded, excited. "Of course!" He took out his hand (and his glove) in front of you. And you placed the ring gently on his ring finger.

Afterwards, you both hugged each other and kissed your cheeks, even thought everyone was cheering that you should definitely kiss each other on the lips (even if Edge doesn't have them).

Apparently, the whole cake tasting was a lie, it was an excuse to bring you here in the first place.

You all ate good cake, not salty or soggy, and enjoyed your afternoon. Then, you and Edge would go on a walk and enjoy the rest if the day together... maybe he would like a sleepover? It would be nice to cuddle sleep next to him.

Well. I never thought I'd get on Tumblr, but since I am...

How do you get inspiration? And through writer's block? And, y'know, all of the thibgs that come in-between?

BTW I really like your writing style. It's so open, friendly, and believable. ❤️

Awww thank you 🩵🩵🩵

And the thing for me personally?

The big thing that helps me is simply the realization that your writing doesn't have to be Shakespeare lmao

It is okay to be mid. It's okay if you feel your writing is basic or clunky. It's okay if certain description of mundane things feel mundane. Just focus on having fun

Also be cringe. I love cringe. Stop worrying about being cringe. Sometimes things are cringey. Embrace it.

In terms of writers block my two main solutions are

1. TAKE A BREAK DONT BURN YOURSELF OUT UNLESS WRITING IS HOW YOU PAY THE BILLS DONT STRESS

2. Music or Pinterest, I make both Playlists to hep me get into the mood for writing and boards for ideas especially involving characters & ocs

[darlingdarii]

Okay, I might have a small idea for day fifteen.... maybe...

@scrambledmeggys

♡Day Fifteen: Scars♡

You were ready to go in the water again!

A few hours ago, you decided you wanted a break from going into the water. You ate delicious food, rested a bit, enjoyed the sun... but now you want back in again!

So, you went to grab your swimsuit from the sun, and yes, it was dry to be worn once again!

Edge, Mettaton, Undyne, Alphys, your bestie and the others were also getting ready!

You went back into your room with your swimsuit that was a two-piece.

When you finished putting the stubborn swimsuit, you looked into your mirror. You looked so beautiful! You made a small twirl, just for show.

Going down the stairs, you encountered Edge!

"Hi Edge!" You greeted him.

"Hello, Daridana." He greeted back.

"Are you coming with me to the sea?" You asked.

"Of course, but first I need to grab the sunscreen." He told you.

"For?? I mean, you don't need it since your made of bone." You raised your eyebrow.

"Because you forgot it to bring it to your best friend, so she send me to get it." A smirk was showing on his skull.

Your eyes widened. "I really did forget, thank you."

"No problem." Edge said before he continued climbing the stairs.

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

On the beach, you waited for Edge to show up. When he did, he first gave the sunscreen to your bestie and then he walked towards you.

When he was side to side with you, you stretched.

You both looked at the sea a little bit, but you soon noticed he was looking somewhere else.

"You okay, Edge?" You asked, looking at him.

He was looking at... the right part of your waist. "Oh... that's what you're admiring?" You giggled.

His gaze snapped up to your face. "S-Sorry..." he mumbled.

"Don't be! It's fine, really." You smiled.

A few years ago, you got bitten by a dog, it wasn't that bad... but it did scar. The scar isn't a big one, really. It just looks a little weird.

"And I told you, you should be more careful around dogs!" He chastised you, like the scar was made now.

"Oh please, it was a few years ago!" You protested.

"I know, but I still care." He told you. Now your heart feels all warm and fuzzy.

You looked at the scars on his ribs. They aren't too visible, but enough to be seen. Some faint scars were made when Edge saved you from the dog that was ready to eat you, and some prominent scars were made from other situations. Mostly when some kids used to bully you or his brother and Edge decided to beat them up. They did put up a fight though...

Seeing that you were now looking at his ribs, he caressed your head. "What's wrong, sweetie?" He asked.

"Just admiring you and your bravery." You responded.

He chuckled, kissing your cheek. Of course you did didn't blush!

"Come on, you beautiful soul, let's go into the water, shall we?" He took your hand and you both started to walk towards the water.

"Of course, my beautiful darling..." you responded, caressing his hand.

Scars or not... you still loved him.

...

And he did love you too.

You can’t shift, you’re still in your CR, and you’ll never have your desire

Do you know what’s really funny? It’s that you’re out here feeding yourself a script that you don’t even believe in. Because I guarantee that the title made you pause, scroll back, and read this post with a critical eye as you get ready to not believe a word of it.

But it comes so naturally when you tell it to yourself, huh?

You’ve built this narrative about yourself that you swear is real, when I guarantee you don’t believe in it at all. Imagine you ask me:

“Why am I still not in my DR? Why don’t I have my desire? Why does every attempt to shift fail?”

And I answer:

“Because you’re worthless. Because you’re stupid. Because you can’t shift or manifest for shittt. Because you’re literally the one person on earth who can’t shift. Because you’re not worthy of your desire. Because you’ve done everything wrong, never even tried, and you’re doing it all incorrectly.”

Instantly, you go:

“Wait, what? How dare you! No way. I’ve put in the work, I’ve intended. I am worthy of my DR. I can shift. I can have my desire. Why are you telling me this? You have no clue what you’re talking about!”

You reject it. You’re defensive because it sounds absurd. But the second you list the same reasons to yourself, you swallow it whole. You believe it.

And then you realize the punchline: when the exact same message comes from an outside party, someone irrelevant, you shrug it off. You don’t believe it at all. What does that show you? That all external noise doesn’t matter, because deep down you know the truth. Isn’t that just the funniest, most absurd thing?

But fine, let’s say you’re reading this and you’re like: “Well, yeah, Clover, I do hate myself. I do think I’m worthless. Thanks for nothing.”

Okay.....great! You’re completely right, you’re worthless :) And you don’t shift because you didn’t intend to be in your DR :) in fact, I bet you’re not someone who can’t shift at all, right?

If the above agreement makes you want to punch me in the face, congratulations. It makes you want to argue with me because you know that’s not true. That spark of defensiveness is you knowing, deep down, that only what you define is real. And the reality is that you can shift.

You ask me “Why am I not in my DR?” and I tell you: “Because you’re in your CR. You’re still here!”

And instantly, you’re like “Are you kidding me? I’ve intended to be in my DR, I am in my DR.” See how fast you reject it? That’s the whole point. You already know outside noise isn’t the authority.

But if your case is:

“No, if you told me I can’t shift, I’ll just believe it more, so this isn’t very helpful to me”

So very gently, I’m pointing out that you’ve already handed me the keys. You’re letting me, an irrelevant outside source, decide what’s real for you. That means you’re not actually holding the authority—you’ve outsourced it.

Or rather.....you think you’ve outsourced it.

The only reason you’re even here, reading about shifting, trying to manifest, is because you already believe you have the ability to change reality!! The act of trying is proof you think you’re the one in control!!!!

It’s like saying “I know I’ll never win the lottery” while still buying a ticket every week. If you truly believed you couldn’t win, you wouldn’t waste the money. You wouldn’t even be in line at the gas station with the ticket in your hand.

So no, the problem isn’t that I could “confirm” anything for you. The problem is you’ve been pretending you’re powerless while constantly proving you’re not.

Let’s say you really do think you’re worthless, incapable of shifting, the one person alive who can’t do it. Now imagine I tell you: Stop trying. Just give it up. Never attempt to shift again.

What’s your gut reaction? It’s rolling your eyes at me, because “oh here’s this bitch who thinks she knows what she’s talking about.”

Or you’d consider it. You could take it as the sign you needed to quit shifting. But you’d probably feel that stubborn little spark, the “But I don’t want to stop. I actually do want to keep trying.”

Why? What does that tell you?

It tells you you’re not actually convinced you’re incapable. If you were, you’d shrug and walk away. The fact that you keep coming back means there’s a part of you that already knows you can do it, but you’re just smothering it under a bunch of false stories.

(side note: if this offended you in any way, I’m very sorry, and I want to make it clear that my point isn’t to belittle you. It’s to show you that your actions are already contradicting the negative story you’ve been telling yourself.

The fact that you’re reading posts about shifting, testing out techniques, and even questioning why you’re “not there yet” means you’re already operating from the observation that it’s possible for you. If you genuinely believed you couldn’t shift, you wouldn’t be here. You wouldn’t be asking, you wouldn’t be trying, and you wouldn’t be disagreeing with me. You’d have already closed the book and walked away. See?)

Since when did day fourteen come???😭😭😭

@scrambledmeggys

♡Day Fourteen: Gaming♡

"No."

"Why????"

"Because it is childish."

You tried to convince Edge to play video games since morning.

You tried to convince him with every game you knew: minecraft, roblox, free fire, fortnite, a dating sim, horror games, cute games, tamaweb, educational games, literally everything. But he was being stubborn.

"Come on, Edge! There has to be a game your willing to play!" You sighed.

"Again, these games can destroy your eyesight. Believe me, it's better this way." He explained and chastised you at the same time. "If you want to play a game, go outside and play 'hide and seek'." He added.

"But Edge-" you tried.

"No." Was his answer and decision.

"Is there any way to convince you???" You asked, almost giving up.

"I actually like seeing, so no." He crossed his arms and went into the living room.

You sighed again.... this seemed impossible...

You really should maybe stop trying....

But maybe Alphys has something that helps?

Or maybe your bestie has some game recommendations that you didn't think of.

Puzzle games don't seem to interest Edge... he wants them "physical".

There was noooo hope.

Maybe you can recomend him the game called "60 seconds"? You mean, this is a game that needs fast reflexes and good thinking!

As you thought of more ways to convince him, you went into the living room. Edge was cleaning the table, but stopped when he saw you.

"Listen, I know that-"

"I don't want to hear it." He told you, going to sit on the couch.

When he did, a cat-like sound came from... his coccyx?

You both stared at each other.

"I knew you were special, but I never thought that you were this special." You joked.

"I can't do that.." Edge got up to see what was making that noise under him.

Oh! It was a tamagotchi! You tried to convince him with it, but to no use, he didn't even look at him. You must've forgotten it when you went to try and convince him more.

Edge took the tamagotchi and looked at it.

"You can take care of pets..." you spoke slowly. You k we what to do. "You can also take care of cats-"

"Really? Show me." He commanded you.

"Gladly." You went close to him. "The best part of it is that it doesn't hurt your vision." You explained. Then, you proceeded to explain how to raise animals.

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

It was two hours since Edge was playing on the tamagotchi. He really liked it.

You were on his right side and looked at him play.

When he noticed you were starting to become uncomfortable sitting like that, he brought you to his lap, continuing to play with his small animal.

Guess all you only needed to convince him were cats!

Day Thirteen, time for musicccc

@scrambledmeggys

♡Day Thirteen: Concert♡

.

♡

.

♡♡

.

♡♡♡

.

"Are you ready to party???!!!" Your best friend shouted.

"Yes, yes!" You laughed.

Today, yours and your bestie's favourite artist will come in your country to sing. So of course you and your bestie will go!

"Okay, meet me at 5 p.m. outside, okay?" Your bestie told you.

You nodded. "Sure thing."

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

You started to prepare your backpack after your bestie left.

After the concert, you would go at her place to stay there overnight.

You packed some clothes, a list of fun things to do, your phone and charger, your headphones, toothbrush and a towel (since your going to take a shower there). Your shampoo is at you bestie, you forgot it there last time.

You went outside as you were instructed and waited for your bestie.

Soon, a car showed up. It was your best friend's boyfriend car.

"Get in girl!" She yelled.

"Coming!!" You got into the passenger's seat and put on the seatbelt.

The car ride was three hours long, but so worth it.

You were texting your other friends and told them that you were going at a concert.

After one hour, the car was slowing down until it stopped.

"What happened?" You asked, one eyebrow raised.

"The car slowly broke down." He announced you and your bestie.

"Oh no! What are we going to do?" She sighed, taking out her phone.

But as she could text someone, two cars showed up.

In one of the cars was some other friends. "Get in losers!" Undyne told you three.

"Undyne??" You and your bestie asked at the same time.

"Well, free ride!" Your bestie's boyfriend got out and got in the car. But not before he took your bestie out of the car like a princess.

You went to Undyne's car too, but she honked. "No, no, no. Your going in the other car." Undyne grinned.

"What, why???" You asked.

"You'll see." She then started driving.

You were confused. Where was she going? What happened? Who is in the other car?

The window rolled down, revealing Edge. "Come on, get in! We won't let them win!" Edge told you.

"Okay!" You got in the front seat, next to him.

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

Apparently, Undyne; Mettaton; Alphys; your other friends and Edge came to see the concert too. So that's why they were there when the car broke down.

You and Edge were alone in the car, but you two were the ones who won the race!

The concert was very nice. It was all you wanted to do in that day.

You sang with the artist, you got an autograph, you bought some clothes at a good shop. Everyone was having a good time. You all made jokes, wore silly things, and the best of all? You all had a sleepover at your bestie's house!

You played truth or dare and seven minutes in heaven!

Seven minutes in heaven was... interesting...

Overall, you all had so much fun!!

The best day ever.

[darlingdarii]

Day Twelve, here we swimmm

@scrambledmeggys

♡Day Twelve: Swim / Ocean♡

.

♡

.

♡♡

.

♡♡♡

.

Today, it was the day you learned how to swim.

Nobody taught you how to swim, but your friends were ready to help you learn.

"Just get in the water slowly." Undyne instructed. And so you did.

The water was cold, but bearable.

"Now, just ease in. Get comfortable." She told you.

"Okay..." you mumbled.

"Y'know, just walk around here in the water. Let water touch your hair and face and practice putting your face in and blowing bubbles." Undyne added.

You walked around in the water, slow and steady. Then, gently placed your head in the water and tried to blow bubbles, but a lot of water got in your nose.

"Okay, now you just need to learn to float." Alphys said.

"How do I do that?" You asked, rubbing your eyes to be able to see.

"Try to lay on your back, let your body relax, look at the sky and spread your arms and legs slightly." Alphys explained.

"Sure.." you try to do just that, but found it hard to relax. In short, you got scared and sinked in the water.

Undyne came to help you and so did Alphys. "Are you okay?!?!" They both yelled.

You closed your eyes, and tried to hold your breath before they came to your rescue. Luckily, it wasn't long.

"Yeah..." you confirmed, rubbing your nose and eyes again.

"You scared us, really!" Alphys told you. "Maybe it will be harder than I thought."

"Of course, because you morons can't do anything right." Edge said as he got in the water.

"Edge!" You grinned, trying to walk towards, but he held up a hand, signaling to stay put.

"Don't worry, just stay there." He instructed.

He was wearing only shorts, perfect for swimming, you were wearing your swimsuit and so were Alphys and Undyne.

"You two are always rushing everything!" Edge rolled his eyes. "Here, sweetie, try these." He gave you a flotation aid. "Wear it, it's going to help you. Then, when you learn to stop being afraid of water, you can take it off." Edge instructed.

"I'm not afraid of water..." you mumbled as you tried to wear the flotation aid.

"Still. Let me help." He helped you wear the flotation aid safely and securely. Undyne and Alphys both snickered. "Shut up you two!" He chastised them. They quickly shut up, but they were still grinning.

Edge did the same Undyne did. He told you to walk through the water, to get used to it. But this time, he went with you. He walked with you and held your hand.

Then, he said you should try floating next. He was very close to make sure you were alright.

When you started to panic, he soothed you and tried to make you relax.

"Excellent!" Edge praised you, "now... you have to learn to breathing control." He told you.

"What is that?" You asked, stopping yourself from floating anymore and instead you were standing.

"It means you have to take a deep breath through your mouth; submerge and exhale slowly through your nose or mouth underwater. It would become natural in time." He explained to you.

"What?!" Your eyes widened. Wasn't that an invitation to drown??

Edge was gentle and showed you how to do it. He took a deep breath and went into the water, he breathed and then.... where was he?

Edge grabbed you by the legs and made you fall flat ass in the water. You let out a loud yelp.

"Edge!" You crossed your arms.

He chuckled when he emerged from the water. "What?" He pretended innocence.

"You dumb..." you sighed.

You tried to do exactly what Edge did (instead of trying to push him in the water). But you did wanted to push him too, but quickly dismissed it. You needed to learn how to swim... and then.

You then learned basic kicks, then learned arm movement, combined breathing with movement, practiced basic strokes (your favorite is breaststroke, freestyle and backstroke), learned how to tread water, build endurance and lastly practice safety skills.

You were tired after everything, but it was worth it.

After everything was finished, you all ate and then relaxed and rested, it was time to swim once again in the water!

It was so much fun! Undyne did a cannonball, Alphys swam freestyle, your other friends that joined were having a good time and you and Edge were playing together.

You went underwater, ready to surprise him, but instead.... he surprised you.

He went underwater too and kissed your lips, but quickly left before you could have reacted.

♡

♡♡

♡♡♡

You did get him back, tho.

He was talking to a friend of yours and his, having a good time.

Not for long.

With all your strength, you pushed him into the water after he said he will take a break from swimming.

Everyone looked to see what happened.

Edge soon glared at you from the water, the only thing visible was his half face with his eyelights. Was he feeling ashamed? Mad? Both?

You kinda regretted that...

You thought he would be mad at you.

But instead...

"Game on, sucker!" Edge yelled and quickly got out of the water and chased you.

Everyone had a good time.

You and Edge had a good time.

And that's all that matters. ♡

[darlingdarii]

Day Eleven, time for gym! Maybe...

@scrambledmeggys

"No!" You told him the millionth time.

"Yes." Edge kept insisting.

Edge has been insisting for a few days to go to the gym with you. Of course, you said no.

It's not that you don't want to exercise, it's the fact that you are already in shape in your eyes.

Edge always complimented the way your body looks, directly and indirectly. But he thinks you need a diet and to exercise to remain healthy.

He saw too many humans getting sick and having heart problems, so Edge doesn't want this to happen to you. How caring of him...

"Daridana, I told you-"

"Edge, I am healthy. Look, I'm fine-"

"That's what the majority of humans say before they get sick. Or worse, while being sick." Edge explained his logic.

"Edge, please-" you tried again.

"Yes, Daridana, please. Please stop being a pain in the coccyx and let's go already!!" He yelled.

"Listen, Edge! I won't die if I don't exercise!" You shouted at him too.

"Shut it and let's go! You won't lose anything if we go to the gym!" He tried to convince you again.

"Look, I wouldn't have been stubborn if we decided to go to the gym because of something else! But you want me to exercise because you're scared! And I promise you, I'm fine!" You tried to convince him once again.

"I'm not scared! I'm just cautious." He took a deep breath and tried to explain it to you.

You huffed. "Edge... we can go to a walk or go to the gym, I don't care. But I don't want to exercise because you are worried sick about me." You tried to explain your point of view.

When he looked like he was listening, you continued. "I know you don't mean that I'm fat and need to go on a diet, I understand that. But I want you to understand that I am healthy. With you by my side, I will always remain healthy because you chug healthy food in me like it's water." You joked, trying to lift the mood.

"....Promise me that you will tell me right away if you feel sick or you feel bad, okay?" Edge asked.

"Of course." You nodded. "But I also need you to promise me you won't go nuts if I will ever be sick." You grinned.

Edge chuckled. "Yeah, yeah... I promise..."

Afterwards, you two went on a walk. Not to the gym because you ate so much you were in no shape to exercise you were a bit tired.

Edge told you tomorrow you won't escape to go to the gym, he saw you eating unhealthy food so many times. Guess you have no choice in the matter.

You went out to work your day shift at the new café in town.

Upon entering, the bell chimed with your arrival. You scan the big room:

It was beautiful! It was filled with decorations and tables. Candles, too. The light didn't hurt to look at. The windows accepted the beautiful light from outside.

Lily greeted you. "Daridana! Thank you for accepting to work at my new cafe!" She hugged you.

"Please, you know that I had to work at a cafe! And plus, I like working with my friend! .... Who's now my boss too!" You smiled.

"Come on! Time to go to work!" Lily smiled, her little pet going to the kitchen.

"Wow! Already? Tsk, tsk... and here I was, hoping you'll go easy on me." You shrugged, your smile big.

Lily giggled. "Well, the customers wiall arrive in thirty minutes!" She announced you.

Your eyes widened. "Already????" You were shocked.

"Yes!!! That's why I need your help in the kitchen!" Lily dragged you by your hands in the kitchen.

You started to cook and bake the recipes you were mostly good at.

You made cupcakes, ramen, soups and chocolate in the shape of hearts.

While you started to make cupcakes, your phone rang. It was Edge!

"Yes, Edgy?" You responded. You placed the phone to your ear and holded by your shoulder while you baked.

"Hello, Daridana. I just wanted to wish you good luck with your new job." Edge voiced told you.

"Thank you so much! I also wish you good luck with your new job as well! I know you got one." You giggled as you felt that his eye sockets widened.

"How do you know?" Edge asked.

"Let's say your bad at keeping secrets." You grinned.

"Haha, very funny." It was Edge's response.

"Well, good luck at being a chef, Edgy. I gotta end the call or else Lily is going to steal my phone! Or worse, her pet takes it from me!" You dramatically told him.

"Okay, okay, do your thing. And thank you for your wishes." Edge then ended the call.

"Daridana, I need your help here!" Lily called after you.

"Coming!" You called back.

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

"Thank you! Have a good day!" You told the customer that left.

"I think that is the last one." Lily said.

"I think so too." You agreed.

"No, actually." Edge told you as he entered. "I'm the last customer." He smilee as you went in to hug him.

"Don't worry, we'll handle it." You assured him.

After getting everything down and Edge seated, you took his order and brought everything he asked for and a surprise.

"What is this?" He asked, surprised.

"It a latte. In shape of a cat." You grinned at him. "A small 'thank you' gift."

"Thank you, Daridana." He patted your shoulder.

"Thank you, for being my friend, Edge." You smiled for what seemed the millionth time today.

Maybe you will go to his new job to surprise him as well.

Lily was snickering with her pet in the kitchen. "They are sooo made for each other, I swear." She told her buddy.
