One time a friend told me that if she wanted to have a chill night she would come to me and ask for tea and a book to read. I didn’t like tea at the time, but I always made sure my cupboards had them in case she needed a quiet night. One time I told my boss that I loved oranges, but couldn’t peel them because of my nails. For a year he made sure to peel me one at least once a week. Once my friends gave me a made up superlative of “most likely to have a pen they could borrow” and ever since I’ve made sure I always carry a pen with me. A long time ago, my high school librarian told me that no one would care what my grade in my sophomore chemistry class was if I’m bringing them doughnuts and asking them about their day.
Image Description: John cuts a looming warm dark shape that curves over Arthur like a shelter. His head is tucked against his chest to pull Arthur up into a kiss. His left hand cradles Arthur’s face, his right is around Arthur’s waist. His expression is overcome with emotion. Arthur is blushing fiercely body arched softly against John, hands buried deep in his robes.
John’s eyes are open ever so slightly but it’s not so much to look at Arthur as it is a result of being overcome with emotion/to help the readability.
To my knowledge these are usually pretty temporary. Though I imagine with how often Jessie and James get zapped, theirs are a bit more severe/long lasting. They cover them up with makeup in the places where the scars would show.
Ash's go away quick. They're usually on his hands because he has, willingly given Pikachu his hand to shock in order to help him think, get an idea or wake up (this is a thing he actually does in the show LOL)
