i’m not grumpy, i’m tired. / help this is frm bruce ;m;

little bear. / accepting. / @willrebuild

        ❛ okay, but those are not mutually exclusive, you know. ❜

        despite the teasing tone to her voice, bell watches him with a furrowed brow, concern shining in her eyes. she knows there are various reasons behind why he could be tired — and yes, maybe she should give him a bit of a pass considering one of those reasons is saving the city, but she can’t help but be a bit concerned despite it. 

        especially if he’s actually admitting that he’s tired. now that’s something she never thought would happen. and it’s something that concerns her a bit more than she’d like to admit.

        ❛ okay, jokes aside, though — ❜ her voice is gentle as she sits down next to bruce, resting a hand carefully on his shoulder and digging her thumb gently into the hollow of his shoulder blade in a makeshift massage, ❛ there’s actually a pretty easy fix to being tired. ❜ giving him a wry smile, she raises her other hand to poke at his cheek, something much more insistent lingering underneath the levity in her joking tone as she speaks again. ❛ it’s called resting, dunno if you’ve ever heard of it, but i think you should give it a shot. might be just me, though. ❜

with languid movements they gently tuck a flower behind her ear, the petals a little crushed from it being tucked into their pocket for a few hours. "saw it and thought of you," cillian mumbles as they look away from bell, trying to distract already from the action.

      ❛ what are you — ❜ 

      the question slips from her mouth unfinished, the confusion at the feeling of their hand suddenly against her head washed away once her fingers brush against the soft petals resting against her hair. a burst of warmth swells in her chest and bell glances towards cillian, surprise curling the corners of her mouth into a sweet smile — and it only grows once she notices the uncharacteristic bashfulness in their posture. it’s cute. she doesn’t want to embarrass cillian more than they clearly already are, but it’s really cute.

      she brushes her thumb against the petal once more ( she can’t see it, and there’s no way she’s going to take it out to look at it right after they just put it there, but she can’t help but wonder what the flower looks like ) before she drops her hand back to her side, reaching for theirs instead. 

      ❛ thanks, ❜ she says, lacing their fingers together.  ❛ i love it. ❜

hi im here too :)

[mermade]

can you stop swimming near my ship you’re distracting my crew :/

        ❛ hm, ❜ she hums, tail swishing from side to side like a pendulum as she hangs off the edge of the ship, her chin resting against her arms. she cocks her head to the side as she flicks the edge of her fin against the surf, sending a spray of water directly onto the pirate’s pants, the fabric darkening and sticking to his legs in what looks to be a very uncomfortable way. ❛ nope, i’m good here. ❜

little bear taken from the tv show.

you’re okay. i’ve got you.

i’m not grumpy, i’m tired.

the things i do in the name of friendship!

come here, you little monster.

why don’t you shut your eyes? a nap will help you feel better.

if you listen closely, you can hear the music in the wind.

compasses make my head hurt.

come on, up you go.

i’m afraid you’re too little to do that.

nobody loves me.

the stars are your friends?

the grass! it’s talking!

i’m having a bad day.

well i’ve seen a lot of yawns in my day, and i have to say, it looked an awful lot like a yawn to me.

the north wind is an angry wind. he has a very bad temper, and you never know what he’s going to do.

oops, sorry.

not too big to jump into my arms, are you?

everyone should have hot soup after playing in the snow.

somebody has a cold.

there’s only one way to make sure gingerbread cookies don’t run away. 

i won’t take a nap today, or tomorrow, or ever again!

did you know that if you sneeze when you’re eating a cookie, it means that there’s a full moon outside?

now, now. your health comes first.

good morning. it’s nice and cozy under the covers, isn’t it?

we’re starting! we’re starting! we’re starting! uh, how do we start again?

this camera has taken some excellent pictures in its day.

you be the big chef, and i’ll be the little chef.

we need more nature for our collection.

you always make me feel better.

goodnight, sun. see you in the morning.

old frost wiggles his toes. where is he hiding? nobody knows.

whoever made this loves you very much.

i’ll tell you a secret. if you want your sunflowers to grow big and healthy, you should talk to them.

that’s why we have a “because” party. if you’re sad, it cheers you up, because we can all be together.

i’m all right. are you?

there’s a monster in the sky.

yes, that’s the harvest moon. it’s the biggest moon we’ll see all year.

hello, tree. did my scarf keep you warm?

when i was sick and lay in bed, i had two pillows at my head, and all my toys beside me lay to keep me happy all the day.

my poor dear. do you remember me?

          they do not fight the touch as their sober self usually would.   hands actually search out for bell,  fingers wrapping around her wrist as she tilts up their hand.   just resting over the pulse point.   the wolf inside whines at the thought of how easy it would be to bite and break skin, marking her.   she was so delicate…

          a free arm snakes around her waist,  gently pulling her in closer  ( as if there was any space left between them in the first place. )   irises flare yellow again as they sternly study her expression,  a playful grin slowly creeping up.   ❝   i said… you do care about me.   ❞   a chuckle escapes as they lazily trace circles against her back,  head canting to the side.   ❝   you get a crease between your brows when you’re worried. clog beag amaideach, ag titim don mac tíre.   ❞

      cillian’s words throw her for a loop, and not the ones spoken in the language she doesn’t understand. is that — is that something they hadn’t been sure about? the thought baffles her. sure, neither of them have said anything about the ... whatever it is going on between them, but they must know she cares at least, right?

      ❛ is that a surprise to you? ❜ her voice is soft as their hands search her body, pulling her closer and sending a flare of heat burning through her, warm and heavy and almost-overpowering, and she shakes her head once to clear the haze starting to creep through her mind at the touches she’s been craving for weeks now ( why does it take this for them to happen? ). she brushes her thumb against their cheek once. ❛ you should get some rest, cillian. you’re still drunk. ❜

(click directly donate now).  many Palestinians have asked that we donate directly to them, so here’s a link to further fundraisers .
