#//YOU GET IT OPO

[pupyuj]

either way yujin makes me feel so many things like she looks so gay filipina with a big ass cock coded with that hair like??? couldn't stop thinking about how good she'd be in bed specially when she's mad??? or jealous??? the normally sweet little puppy, now so fucking angry, she could ruin your cunt just by fucking it with her thick cock. ☹️

and can i just say... “hm, basang basa ah? putang puta ka para sa tite ko.” while laughing and slapping your tits. ☹️

🫀

okay terribly sorry for my non-filo followers cuz i'm gonna be mumbling some tagalog nonsense here yujin drives me crazysdbskddhk—

LISTEN... yujin is very filipina-coded to me IM SORRY LIKE she's your perverted, tambay-sa-kanto gf idk how else to explain it!! hand always on your ass, has no shame groping your tits in public IN FRONT OF PEOPLE, and never hesitates to pull you into her lap and press your ass against her bulge??? to everyone else, the two of look sickeningly sweet as they watched yujin whisper to you with a big grin,, but they don't know that she's berating you 😭😭

"letting me do this in front of our friends.. hindi ka na ba nahiya?" mmdjfdhks her hand nearly between your thighs and everything,, everyday you wonder how people never see all the things she does to you in public,,, at one point, she has literally fingered your cunt from behind through your shorts while huddled up with your friends watching a teleserye and standing outside a sari-sari store sdkhcskji,,

LITERALLY FUCKS YOU WHILE SHE'S TALKING TO HER MOTHERRR???? like you're in her room ofc but she's got you sat on her lap facing the door, fingers deep inside your cunt,, grins so widely while she watched you covered your mouth,, bcs her mother saw you as her daughter's sweet, innocent girlfriend (everybody did),,, what would she say if she heard you?? ☹️ "opo, ma!! we're coming down soon," yujin yells loud enough for her mother to hear outside the door,, and then she leans into your ear, laughing like the annoying piece of shit that she isnbdskdfhc,, "you're gonna come, right? right? huh? bilisan ko ba, ha?" yujin keeps asking,, you really didn't wanna do anything that would make you lose control but fuck her fingers feel way too good that you have to nod and let yujin push you over the edge,,

and omggg the mad + jealousy thing... you're one hell of a catch so yujin can be a bit paranoid sometimes,, esp when she sees people talk to you with obvious interest and it definitely doesn't help that you're very friendly and a bit touchy with your friends sometimes,, usually, yujin takes it like a champ because she knows you would never cheat on her but other times she lets her jealousy take over her and oh yeah it gets intense in the bedroom..

"sobrang landi mo pala... i didn't know you were such a fucking whore, (y/n).. why don't you just go ahead and let yourself get fucked by all of them??" she's saying while pounding into your cunt so hard that her bed rocks against the wall??? thank goodness nobody was home.. you were to scream as loud as you wanted,,, "tangina.. d'you actually like this? fucking slut..."

ya'll this kinda sucked i got distracted ICBBBB I'M LOSING MY MAGIC .. YOU GUYS...

[kairiscorner]

now what if

miguel x filipino reader (silly and soft hcs!!)

• he'd have little problems understanding you, same with miles, in the previous x filipino reader, he'd understand the shared words tagalog and spanish have.

• involuntarily, i think mans would full on speak spanish if he hears you use just enough shared words to get him expressing his thoughts in spanish.

• "beh, asan yung sapatos ko? hala ba't malapit sa bintana, okay, ah, bibili ako ng leche flan, gusto mo ba?"

• "oh, claro, seguro que me gustaría un poco."

• "ano, ah, okay"

• you two would kinda just get by picking up random tidbits of spanish and tagalog, BUT YOU CANNOT DENY THAT YOU FALL APART WHEN HE SPEAKS SPANISH; HIS VOICE >>>>>>

• he'd also fear the slipper.

• you joke that if another spider person came crawling to you, crying because he yelled at them, you threatened to throw your own slippers in his face; you refused to let him just get angry whenever things didn't go his way.

• "isa pa, sinasabi ko talaga sayo, TSITSINELASIN KITA SA MUKHA, WAG MO KONG SUBUKAN"

• "PLEASE, I'M SORRY, PUT THE DAMN SLIPPER DOWN, QUERIDA"

• he got less angry at the spider people when you threatened him, he became more patient and understanding because of your guidance, too.

• you taught him to use "po" and "opo" when addressing his elders, especially towards your parents when he met them. he was initially confused as to why you used it on him when you two were practically the same age, but when you explained it was just your habit, he didn't ask anymore. in fact, he kinda found it endearing.

• when he learned how "ate" (ah-teh) and "kuya" were used, he called you that for a while until you told him you didn't want him to call you that and just refer to you by name.

• "ate/kuya, what's the update?", "ate/kuya, your report?", "ate/kuya, i want some, what was it? ah, ate/kuya, i want some tinapay (bread)"

• but when he learned about filipino pet names......... he used them TO THE MAX.

• he calls you, "mahal", "beh", and the..... "bebe labs" (cries) he used the "bebe labs" one because you kept using it for him.

• "bebe labs, what's for dinner?" now that was the first and last time he ever called you that. yes, lyla and you have a recording of that, it's your ringtone.

• your song with him is "panalangin" by apo hiking society, change my mind.

• he doesn't seem too interested in teleseryes, what with his hardass and stern look, but when he caught you watching one at home at night when he came back, he found himself sitting down with you and making commentary about the antagonistic bitches and how it'd be so satisfying for them to receive karma, tearing about a character's death, and clicking his tongue as he says, "i fucking knew they were gonna cheat/weren't dead/that character was the parent"

• he'd make an effort to learn tagalog and/or your local dialect for you, especially if you were more fluent in that than in english. he also wanted you to feel that he valued your culture and your roots, just as much as he valued his own.

• HE LOVES THE CHICKENJOY IN JOLLIBEE 🫂🫂🫂

• if you two ever got into an argument, he'd buy you jollibee as an apology and say he was really sorry and that the whole argument was stupid, he shouldn't have said/done what he said or did.

• MIGGY IN A BARONG TAGALOG >>>>>>

• he blushes when you call him "guapo/gwapo", you do it all the time :> he calls you "maganda" and "mahal ko" regardless of your gender <333

[actionsurges]

I aspire to get my one shot prep on 1 page like you, but I'm afraid that if I don't have some solid plot points in mind beforehand I'm gonna fail at creating an interesting story. How much 'plot' do you usually prep for a oneshot?

so let me show you the prep for the oneshot i just ran yesterday and i am going to tell you everything on the sheet that i actually got to use versus what didn't end up making the final cut

on the bottom is the template i use for Planning what components a oneshot (or any story arc) needs. I think something to keep in mind is that with oneshots, a lot of the time less is more depending on how long you want the session to be. my OPOS work well because they're really short and loose and can play out in 2-3 hours.

so, for this game i prepped 3 out of the "five" travel days for them, knowing i wanted them to have an encounter and be flown to the 'end' by their new dragon ally. we only made it to night 1.

they approached tam and started rping, figuring out his deal and one of the party members was like 'well i guess we turn around and look for his mom'. i looked at the time and went. we don't have time to do that. and so i had Her Show Up and had an encounter with the whistling ones start.

i never got to tell them Nilyare's name, I had it prepared just in case but it didn't really matter, I didn't have to explain the 'backstory' to the whistling ones because they were just a fun Threat.

the environmental effects loomed over the party but never really had enough time to set in.

i think the key for oneshots is to create a compelling scenario for the pcs to be embroiled in.

Abilities: BRD/RDM main, MNK is always one broken weapon away from showing you why it's a bad idea to disarm her. Omniclasses p much everything but is worst at SMN/SCH. Her music weaves aether in such a way that it enhances her magical abilities, so even when utilizing her healing or destructive magics, she often weaves her bardwork into it.

Open-minded/flexible, she's not often put-off or caught off guard and is very accepting (at times forgiving, to a fault). Most Negative Trait: Still getting over the trauma of 'people who get close to me tend to suffer terribly', which leads her to distancing herself.

Grani was a gift from Emet-Selch, and is her primary mount esp. in places where Arrow can't go. Been Arrested: Amazingly not.

"...and I wonder if gods cry too-"

Act 1 - Bleed for him or Make him bleed

Disclaimer: I do not own Maliksi, or Makisig (the Tamawo bros). Full Credit goes to HC - @ask-emilz-de-philz. Please check out their blog for amazing art and the wonderful world of Planet Puto.. All involved characters are adults.

A/N: Pouring my heart and soul in this multi chapter fic. CHAR LANGGG. HAHAHAHA. If you see a she + she ship at the first part, that's intended. i didn't mess up the pronouns.

Genre: Angst pero may kissies po for us kasi galing po kami ni Maliksi sa date, opo.

Best paired with: Tiny Vessels by Death Cab for Cutie

"...smart move. Keeping true to your words is a smart move, tamawo."

Maliksi let out a sharp exhale through gritted teeth as he clenches his fists while looking at the ground, not lifting his head up to stare at the imposing dalakitnon in front of him. "Make it quick before my brother notices that I'm gone and god forbid starts looking for me."

"Impatient as ever. Do you remember that little story I told you before?"

The dalakitnons weren't always hailed as dangerously powerful before, as beings not to be dealt with...

Yes, their magic has always been far more superior than the other engkantos and that led to them toying with lives of weaker beings and mortals, not expecting them to retaliate.

There was that dark age when their kind was almost exterminated by the very humans they looked down upon and tormented.

Who would've known that humans, when working together can be an unexpected threat- especially since gods were known to favor some of them.

Humans can be strong, oh so strong- But they cannot get rid of the things that makes them human. They are too emotional, too attached to one another, too....soft.

It didn't took long for the dalakitnons to study them, discovering that they were lead by a babaylan- she was smart not to have blood related family present at that war. But not smart enough to conceal her budding feelings for one of the hunter's sister who often visited them. The way her hands brushed against hers, the way her eyes glimmered with more hope even after being beyond exhaustion, and the way she looks at her...

The remaining dalakitnons can still remember the babaylan's scream the night that they were able to lay hands on her lover- they didn't kill her right away... They poisoned her mind and heart slowly, corrupting her to the core until she was just an empty vessel, a puppet for their amusement as she grabbed her brother's blade and used it against her beloved babaylan.

Oh, the horror in that babaylan's eyes as she realized she was too weak to even think of hurting her lover just to save herself, the way her tears fell as she embraced her tight one last time and whispered how much she loves her before falling off a cliff to their deaths, not even mentioning a single one of her fault for being a victim of the dalakitnons.

Before the war ended shortly, the dalakitnons gathered to put a curse on that babaylan's bloodline- she is not to have any female descendants for 6 generations- making sure that that wretched bloodline will not live on, or at least be thinned enough to not produce someone who will be of threat to them.

The dalakitnon has always seen almost unrivaled potential from Maliksi, that's the very reason that they answered for his call when he was trying to revive his brother Makisig. And how convenient it is to make use of him right now, afterall, a debt is a debt.

"The curse we've put on that bloodline has been lifted 30 years ago, and as expected...And a female descendant has been born around that time... Remember our little deal, Maliksi?"

"Yes, but why don't I just kill her to make it easier and faster for both of us?"

The dalakitnon softly chuckled before answering,

"And keep killing every single female born out of that family for centuries until we engkantos raise suspicion once again?

We would've just curse that damned bloodline again if it was possible, but it's not!

Those damned gods favoring that wretch even after centuries!

It will only take time before some human stands up to us if we kill them, so we won't.

And don't act like it's much of a bother, all you have to do is to keep her and use her to make tamawo babies. Isn't that just your normal job? That's a win/win for both of us."

Maliksi looked at his reflection in the small pond under the moonlight, steeling his resolve before taking the path that you walk at night according to the dalakitnon. It didn't take long before he spotted you walking alone. You were young, probably in your mid twenties with a small stature. He wonders if he'll be sinning against the same gods that favored your predecessor for doing what he must do.

"Binibini~" He softly called out to you with that sweet tone his Kuya Makisig uses to get any lady swoon over him.

You turned around to be met with Maliksi's golden eyes and a smile no one could ever resist.

"...yes?"

You softly answered as you get lost in those eyes and before you knew it, he was already leaning in to kiss you. The tamawo's saliva instantly kicking in like a drug and quickly putting you in a trance.

Makisig was too impatient for all that sweet talk and such that his kuya usually does. As long as a tamawo kisses a human, or any other way to get them ingest their saliva, then everything is all set up for them to take the human back to Biringan City.

The moment you woke up from what seems to be days of slumber, you were already part of Maliksi and Makisig's household. You were informed of your set up, and what your agreed upon duties are.

Makisig was sweet but he never touched you nor interacted too much with you so it gave you an idea that you must've belonged to his younger brother, Maliksi.

It was weird since you were the only one who follows him around like a puppy while his brother has multiple ladies on his harem- you didn't question him though since he seems to not like it when the other ladies bother him with questions. To your surprise, he doesn't act that harsh around you. He often listened to your requests and treats you nicely and properly which often leads to the other ladies' jaws on the floor, eyes wide as plates as they question their own sanity upon seeing how calm he is around you.

Maliksi felt guilt out of anything else whenever he sees your face endearingly staring at him with those eyes. The night he found you, he made sure to put you into twilight sleep and tamper with your memories- something he will always beat himself over.

You were just an innocent human after all. A civilian caught in the crossfire. As much as he hated your kind for hurting his family, you didn't exactly do anything to harm him and his Kuya, hell if it weren't for his deal with the dalakitnon, you'll probably live a normal life until you're old...and die a normal death. Yet here you are following him around without any thoughts but to be at his side. It made him sick to his stomach how he practically erased all of your entirety- the memories of your friends, family, and even your own personality. It's as if you didn't exist before being with him.

He can never be mean to you- as much as the others may think how out of character it was to be seen holding you in his arms and making you smile, he knew that it's the least he can do for you after what he put you through-

"Maliksi?" You softly called out for him while sitting on his lap, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Yes, Y/n?" He smiled as he gently brushed your hair away from your face, tucking gently behind your ear.

"One of Maki's girls was talking about her life back at the human realm...why can't I remember mine?"

There it is- that dreaded question leaving your lips once again. And once again, he has to lie to your face.

Maliksi held your cheeks tenderly before pressing his lips against yours, "What do you mean, beautiful? Maybe it's because I give you too much kisses. You know how dangerous our kisses are, right?" he softly said in between kisses which made you giggle and just let the question slide like you always do as you wrap your arms around him while kissing him back.

"Hmm. Maybe. It's okay, though. I love your kisses, and I love you."

"I know, Y/n. I know, sweet girl."

There it is, out in the open- how you were falling for him. Completely and without any inhibitions. Not that you would know better since all you knew was him. Your world revolves around him.

Yet all he sees in you is a kind and gentle person that he's badly wronged. What he feels for you is pity above anything else.

Love? He is not someone who knows of love other than his love for his brother. That same love that brought this fate down to you. He doesn't love you or does he plan to. But he is not a monster, he will not say that to your face. What's a little lie to prevent him from hurting you more than he already has?

[wwrenwrites]

Jason Todd x Filipino! reader headcanons

A/n: i don’t care if this will be my most flopped post, I had to do God’s work

He would LOVE Filipino food

Jason is pretty open with food considering he has traveled frequently for work.

Being accustomed to seeing rice available even if it’s high in carbs lol. Started as a pancit (stir fried noodles) boy to a BIG garlic rice boy ever since you’ve introduced him to it.

Could see him really liking champorado (chocolate rice porridge) for some reason, since there is something so homey about it. Plus it’s not that sweet. He definitely have tried it with tuyo (salted dried fish) when you mentioned it but prefers it just the champorado alone.

Jason enjoys Jollibee most specifically the fried chicken, both of you have movie nights with a bucket on the coffee table with pineapple juice or alcohol. Would find Filipino spaghetti ‘meh’ cause it’s a bit too sweet for his liking but he wouldn’t mind it after a few more tries since there’s that child-like taste that makes it addicting.

Would 100% love lumpiang shanghai (Filipino spring rolls) and quotes as he explains it to Roy or any of his brothers ‘a way better version of Chinese spring rolls’, just like how you told him. He stops craving for the usual spring rolls if you guys go for Chinese take outs from then on.

Despite what the media depicts of having adobo (soy sauce & vinegar chicken stew), sinigang (tamarind stew) or ube hyped. He does think Filipino food is still very underrated compared to Thai, Chinese, Japanese etc.

Could also see him enjoying clear soup stews like pork sinigang & bulalo (clear soup with beef shanks & bone marrow) because of the homey taste versus the flavored stews but he definitely still enjoys them (also see him being a big kare- kare (peanut butter stew) lover by your influence.

Like every other man, he would be a sucker for San Miguel beer. He knew about it even before both of you were dating since there is a small Filipino town in Gotham. Considering he goes to different bars from time to time. He would enjoy the concept of food on sizzling plate but it would take time for him to actually try exotic street food specially Balut (duck embryo) lol. But he’s down for it!

Spicy White Boy

Canon- wise, he knows Portuguese and there are lots of similar words with Spanish. Which I’m sure he knows maybe the most basic and common sense ones; so Jason understanding a good amount of Tagalog shouldn’t be surprising but would baffle you when you find out he started learning bit by bit for you.

It is very impressive indeed, there are not a lot of good resources in studying it. However, Jason is a Wayne and if his father was able to learn Kryptonian. He would easily be in a level of fluency by time.

And being the intelligent simp he is. He would understand it in a good level in less than a year or two when both of you are pretty much ‘all in’ in the relationship. Especially when you brought up one time before you were both exclusive, that you were scared of the idea of your partner being left out in family events even if English is pretty much the second main language in the Philippines.

Though I feel he would have more confidence in trying to speak the language after a few more years including a few slangs cause he doesn’t want to handle the anxiety of being roasted by your family & friends even if he obviously has thick-ass skin.

You keep telling him that he has already won his parents approval (too fast) when he swoon them with just the use of ‘po’ and ‘opo’ the first time meeting them. Plus the very occasional whispers of ‘gwapo’ , handsome, or ‘matangkad’, tall, here and there would give him a mix of a sheepish ego boost.

Culture Differences

THE ‘NO SHOES IN THE HOUSE’ RULE is a mutual practice that both of you have no problem doing. It has always been a routine for Jason when he gets home and right away he would wash up just so he could be in bed with you.

The no shoes rule seems to be only followed by Alfred when he drops by with groceries for him in his apartment. It bewilders his siblings when he makes a big deal out of it even if they are just dropping by (uninvited as usual) but also more like so you wouldn’t get triggered if you get to meet them but frankly it triggers Jason more since he’s quite neat as a roomie (plus future hubby points too.)

THE FAMILY CULTURE in a Filipino household is usually a mix of chaos and laughter which Jason is quite familiar with but with your family he could tell how close all of you are from all the frequent get together celebrations or holiday trips.

But also he was told a few times from some neighborhood titos (uncle) when he was still in the streets that the number 1 rule when dating a pinoy (shortened term for Filipino) is if you’re ‘dating a Filipino you’re also dating their whole family.’ You even tell him when you show pictures of your immediate relatives and family, that it’s basically a whole village if you include your extended relatives which shocks him even more. You don’t even know who are all your aunts or uncles names nor your second cousins.

You gave him a heads up and number of pointers to Jason when you were both talking about your families plus the never ending group pictures and selfies that awaits. You get worried if he would be overwhelmed even if he tells you, “Doll, don’t worry you literally met mine” “It’s not the same.” With a kiss on your forehead and the cute pout he loves still present.

He immediately gets interrogated and compliments which takes him a back getting him a bit shy. Would vibe with your cousins and would be forced to sing. The karaoke machine playing till midnight, the never ending food being offered in his plate but also your baby cousins getting attached to him which you greatly adore. He would purposely annoy you with flirty gestures in front of your cousins just for you to swat his arm or his biceps multiple times getting a reaction from your comments mixed of ‘yiee’ or ‘landi!’(flirt).

SOUVENIRS in Filipino is pasalubong, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re materialistic it’s more of the thought when a person is away; may it be for family & friends.

Jason bringing home food or snacks when he goes out or something unique when coming from a long mission for you has been natural. You don’t expect him to always bring something home for you of course. Fortunately, Jason loves spoiling you and seeing you sulk when you rummage his duffle bag filled with used clothes and is helmet is too cute. Plus, this is definitely one of the first words he would understand besides the word ‘makulit’ (a neutral connotation of annoying, cheeky, and naughty combined.) and other cuss words.

The first time Jason brings you to the Wayne manor Alfred and Bruce immediately doesn’t see you as a threat especially with a bottle of wine or fruits as formalities. You panic a bit when both of you weren’t able to bring anything to the manor every time you go after that, he has to reassure you it’s fine. Though he appreciates and finds it adorable on how much his family becomes fond of you because of how genuine you are.

When you and Jason travel, you would be having an extra luggage for goodies and shopping and would get endless teasing from Jason. You would tease him back though if he needs something but you would also use his luggage as well if needed for everything you bought.

[ratedfleur]

hi mikha! i really love your works so much, both on ur main and here on ur smut acc! i was wondering if you could write gyuvin with a noona kink or ate kink kasi baliw ako. like reader is older sister ng friend niya tapos ayun hehehehe. thank you in advance 🫶🏼

also, i would like to be 🫧 anon. sana machoose

omg .. CONGRATS AT IKAW AY NA CHOOSE emz aHHAHAHHA and sure, you can be 🫧 anon! 🩷

but honestly i love ur brain bc gyuvin would sooo be the type to be so hung up on you despite being his friend’s sister.

he hates how every time that he comes over, he’s constantly looking everywhere for you, trying to get at least a glimpse of you in your skimpy shorts that would get him all worked up in his pants, using a pillow to cover the mistake that’s bulging through his pants.

“huy, okay ka lang? pinagpapawisan ka.” his friend asks, eyes raking over a sweaty gyuvin.

gyuvin’s eyes would widen, ‘am i that obvious ???????’

he nods, “oo, mainit kasi..” he mutters but makes his friend look at him weirdly.

“but the ac is on..” they say to gyuvin who wipes his sweat, throat drying up.

“ate, paki-kuha nga yung fan please! naiinitan yung aso!” they holler, making gyuvin’s eyes widen even more when he sees you go down the stairs, eyes landing on your long legs. oh my god.. she looks so good..

you roll your eyes before fetching the fan from the guest room, heading back into the living room where a nervous gyuvin and clueless sibling sat.

you bent over to plug it into the wall, ass immediately landing on gyuvin’s vision. he went crazy at the sight of your milky thighs, long legs, and your ass that seemed even more plump this way.

gyuvin gulped, eyes immediately studying the sight so he could jerk off to it when he goes home.

his friend is clueless, still working on their project while gyuvin oogled at their older sister.

“okay na ba, gyu?” you asked, still bent over as you fumbled with the other plugs on the wall. gyuvin gulps and nods, forgetting you couldn’t see him.

gyuvin clears his throat, “opo ate, thank you..” he says as you stood straight.

the night went on not until rain started pouring down heavily, making you stay because you and his friend insisted to do so.

“hindi na ate, kaya ko namang mag motor pauwi..” gyuvin says, shyly trying to look at you.

you shook your head, “no can do, gyu. you’re staying here because i said so.”

having no choice but to comply, gyuvin simply nodded and this makes you smile triumphantly. “anyway, i’ll get the room ready for gyu.” you said before standing up to head up into the second floor.

this makes gyuvin’s eyes widen, tabi kami?! he thought.

minutes later, you call him from upstairs. “gyu, akyat ka na!” you call out to him.

gyuvin’s breath quickens, suddenly feeling nervous as he trudged up to the second floor, eyes immediately looking for you, only to see you standing in the hallways in front of a door frame.

“t-tabi tayo..?” gyuvin trailed off as he came nearer to you, this makes you laugh before reaching up to mess with his hair.

“baliw, dito ka sa spare room.” you laughed as you opened the door, making gyuvin flush in embarrassment as he walked into the room, you trailing behind him.

“i’m right across though if you need me.” you add, making gyuvin nod.

“okay na ko dito, ate. thank you po.” he says nicely, facing you as he spoke.

this makes you smile before you bid your goodbyes, “basta, katok ka lang kung may kailangan ka.” you said before leaving the room, heading into yours which is tempting for gyuvin to knock on.

he shuts the door to his room before plopping on the bed, “nababaliw ka na, kim.” he grunts.

haha me thinks delusional si gyu for ate 😮‍💨

[curiosiccus]

Huh.. Well would you look at that. I remembered the password to this account. Go me. So uh... Sorry about coming here and then just like disappearing. Let's just say a lot of stuff happened? Went through a lot of personal shit BUT I'm in a better place mentally and emotionally now than I have for like... years so yeah.

Hi! First thing first- Am I coming back? Maybe. I want to anyways because I lowkey have been thinking about my marshmallow as well as my other TF muses but I may make a hub blog and attach this blog plus some others to it that are TF-related only for the sake of keeping things that are similar together and making it easier for my ADHD brain to keep track of stuff and not get overwhelmed. So.. yeah. Dunno when I'm gonna get around to that but I want to and I will but it might be a bit! We'll see!

Also I go by NIHILES or NIHIL for short now instead my old alias. If you wanna call me Opo then you can. I don't mind. Just that nickname sorta has bad memories attached to it and I want to move forward from all that. So yeah... That's about it. Sorry for all that. I hope people are still interested in interacting with my shuttle here as well as any of my other TF muses I might add/keep.

I've missed you all and yeah! I'll see you around!

fortune - for the single word drabble prompt!

"Not a bad hand..." Alis murmured to herself, juuust loud enough for her opponent to hear. She leaned a little more heavily on her Thavnarian accent, eyes darting to the card on the far left before studiously looking away.

The merchant's eyes gleamed, clearly believing he'd caught her out. He tapped the card, "I'll take that one."

Her eyes went wide with feigned shocked, before indicating the middle right from his own hand to the merchant's grimace... all while smiling internally. They exchanged cards, and the grimace turned into a sour frown, before dawning horror settled in as he realized he'd just surrendered an Oschon for an Opo-opo.

If there was one thing Alis had learned in all her travels, it was that people were very much not good at getting a read on a viera's experience. If there were two things, it was that it was near universal that people assumed foreign travelers were easily duped. And if there were three things—

Games of chance were a lot more fun when you made your own fortune.

🎧 Ngayong Gabi by Al James

(read part 1 here)

“Ohmygod natapos din” sabi mo ng matapos mo ang case study niyo, tumayo ka at nag unat unat. Agad mong kinuha ang phone mo at nag scroll sa notifs and you saw na hinahanap ka na ng mga tropa mo. Napatingin ka sa bintana at nakita mong palubog na ang araw. You’ve been doing the case study for hours sa library di mo napansin na pagabi na pala. 

Nang makarating ka sa condo niyo ay agad sumalubong sayo ang mga kaibigan mong mga nag aayos. Right, may gala nga pala. 

“Aba saan ang punta niyo?” tanong mo habang binababa ang mga gamit mo. Napatigil naman ang kaibigan mong si Joy sa paghahanap ng damit. 

“Sis di mo ba nabasa texts ko? Kanina ka pa namin hinahanap!” bulyaw nito. She took out a piece of clothing at tumabi kay Marie para mag ayos. 

“Were you in the library again? Friday naman sana pinahinga mo na” sabi ni Marie habang nag lalagay ng mascara. Tinawanan mo lang ang mga kaibigan mo sa kanilang pa-nenermon. Very usual na yung mga ganitong scene sainyo, the two of them nagging at you kasi you always miss the fun madalas. 

“Opo nabasa ko po text niyo kaya nga umuwi na ako. Malapit na yung due nung case study kaya ginawa ko na” pag eexplain mo. It took you a week para matapos yung case study na yun buti na lang natapos mo na. 

“So? Saan nga kayo pupunta?” pagtatanong mo uli. 

“House party kina Yangyang, 9pm” Joy replied habang nagbibihis na. 

“Akala ko ba hindi na tayo pupunta sa parties ni Yangyang kasi sabi niyo it's ‘too wild’? Tsaka 9pm? Eh 7pm palang at parang aligaga na kayo?” sabi mo habang pinapanood mo ang dalawa mong kaibigan. 

“I heard pupunta yung crush ko from la salle kaya pupunta tayo. And dadaanan pa natin si Chi bago pumunta dun plus traffic na din mamaya kaya mag bihis ka na at maka gora na tayo” sabi ni Marie at hinagisan ako ng damit. 

Wala kang magawa kundi mag ayos na din. Sinuot mo yung hinagis sayo na damit, it’s a black backless dress then you wore a cute sandals to match it. 

As usual si Joy ang designated driver niyo bilang mataas and alcohol tolerance siya ang nag aalaga sainyo kapag lasing na kayo. Nang masundo na nyo si Chi ay agad na kayong pumunta sa party. 

Usual ‘weekly’ house party lang naman to. Hindi pa kayo nakakapasok ay kita na agad na maraming pumunta ngayon. People are really stressed talaga sa mga ganitong panahon. Best way to de-stress? Walwal.

“Sana maka swerte ako tonight” sabi ni Chi habang inaayos ang sarili bago lumabas ng kotse. 

“Nako andyan naman si yangyang” Tumawa naman si Marie at inasar si Chi. Inirapan lang siya ni Chi at nauna ng lumabas. Only god knows why Chi and Yangyang are ‘just’ friends

“Tara na nga! Baka may makauna pa kay Yangyang”

Pag pasok niyo ay agad sumalubong sainyo ang usok at ang mga tao. As expected, Yangyang never disappoints pag dating sa ganito. Medyo marami rami na ang mga tao kaya naman nakikipag siksikan kayo para makarating sa couch nila yangyang para batiin sila. 

Nakita niyo sina Yangyang at Hendery naglalaro sa couch. 

“Ano mag lalaro nalang kayo diyan?” biglang sabi ni Chi na naka pamewang pa sa harap ng dalawa. Napatingin naman si Yangyang pero bumalik din sa pag lalaro

“Si Hendery kasi nag aya” sabi ni Yangyang na parang nanunumbong. 

Umupo kayong dalawa ni Joy sa couch habang si Marie naman ay gumora para batiin ang mga ibang kakilala nito. 

“Hindi niyo man lang kami bibigyan ng beer? Yangyang you’re better than this” pag paparinig ni Chi at umupo sa tabi ng binata. 

“Oh ayan ikaw mag laro at i’ll go and get beer. Ano ba gusto niyo?” sabi ni yangyang at biglang binigay kay sof ang phone niya. 

“Mule lang okaya san mig” sagot mo naman sa kanya. Ayaw mong mabigla kaya you’ll start with something light lang

“Yun na lang din samin ni Chi” dagdag ni Joy, tumango naman si Yangyang at pumunta na ng kusina. You sighed and threw your head sa couch, nagsisimula palang ang gabi at nakakaramdam ka na ng pagod. 

“Himala hindi ka ata rumarampa ngayon” biglang tanong sayo ni Joy. tinaasan mo siya ng kilay at tinawanan. 

“Pagod lang” sabi mo. sobrang draining ng uni kaya pati energy mo sa pag socialize at pag landi ay nawala na din. 

“That’s new, hindi ba ikaw nagsabi na stress reliever mo ang pag landi?” biglang sabi ni Chi na kakadating lang at tumabi kay Hendery. 

“Oo nga ikaw? Mapapagod sa ganito? Impossi-” dagdag ni Hendery pero agad ng naputol ang sasabihin niya when his phone rang, nang makita niya kung sino ang caller ay agad siyang tumayo at sinagot ang tawag. 

“Hoy hendery ampota wag mokong iwan dito!” bulyaw ni sof na naglalaro gamit ang cellphone ni yangyang 

“Teka lang may tumatawag- Hello? Pre? Andito na kayo?” Umalis bigla si Hendery at pumunta sa labas. dami namang bisita

“Teka parang ang tagal naman ni yangyang dumating” pagrereklamo ni Joy.

“Pupuntahan ko na wait nga” sabi mo at tumayo ka. Para na din mabati mo yung mga kakilala mo sa loob. After exchanging a few hellos ay nakarating ka sa kusina nakita mo naman si Yangyang nakikipag daldalan habang nag lalabas ng alak.

“Yangs nagrereklamo na sila dun ang tagal mo daw” sabi mo at tinulungan mo na si Yangyang sa pag bitbit ng mga alak. Napatalon ka naman ng biglang may mga nag sigawan. Nanggagaling yung ingay sa salas. 

“BROO!! LONG TIME NO SEE!! PASOK LANG KAYO!!” Dinig na sigaw ni Hendery mula sa labas

Nang matapos na si Yangyang ay bumalik na kayo sa pwesto niyo. nilapag niyo yung mga alak sa table at muli kang napatingin sa malapit sa pintuan ng batiin ni Yangyang ang mga bagong dating. 

Agad namang naningkit ang mga mata mo when you saw a familiar figure, lalapitan mo na sana ng hilahin ni Joy ang braso mo. 

“OH OH TARA TARA CHEERS” sigaw ni Joy habang itinataas ang bote ng san mig. Nakicheers ka naman at agad na lumingon kung saan ka nakatingin kanina. Agad namang nawala yung nakita mo kaya you shrug it off at nakipagkwentuhan nalang. 

After a few hours ay nakaramdam ka na. Low tol ka lang kaya medyo nararamdaman mo na after a few bottles. You decided to take a break at kumain na lang ng pizza. Napatingin naman kayong lahat ng Joy ng bigla itong nag salita.

“Yangyang sino yung mga dumating kanina?” Pasimpleng tanong ni Joy. 

“Joy, the one na may two-tone hair yung crush ko from la salle!” Agad na singit ni Marie. Nanahimik ka lang kasi hindi mo naman nakita yung mga bagong dating kanina.

“Feel ko type mo yung moreno kanina, gwapo shet” biglang sabi ni Chi sayo habang umiinom from her mule. You scoffed at napaayos ng upo. Edi okay sila na nakakita ng gwapo. 

“Kung ganun ano pang hinihintay natin? Yangyang pakilala mo naman kami sa kanila” you cheekily said. 

Medyo may tama na ako. You mentally cursed ng narealize na the alcohol is taking its effect on you based sa malanding tono mo. Pero okay you’re feeling bored na din naman kaya naman bakit hindi?

“Okay wait akyatin ko si- Oh ayan na pala eh, PRE! Patawag naman yung iba may papakilala ako sainyo” sabi ni Yangyang at nilapitan yung isang lalaki na naka dark green na sweater. Napalingon ka naman para tingnan ito.

“Okay okay i’ll go and call them” sabi nito. Tinitigan mo si kuyang naka dark green na sweater habang paakyat ito para tawagin yung iba. You started feeling uneasy, the familiar feeling that the guy gives off makes your heartbeat fast. he looks familiar...

“Sino sasama sakin? Kuha ako ng beer para dun sa mga dadating” ani ni Hendery. Tumayo naman si Joy at nag presinta na tumulong. Hindi mawala sa isip mo yung lalaki kanina at for some reason ay kinakabahan ka. Shet ano bang meron today.

You felt a presence coming sa likod mo yet di ka lumingon. You’re too scared and nervous for some reason parang may mangyayari na hindi mo inaasahan.

“Yo guys sina Mark, Renjun, Jaemin, Jeno, at si Haechan, mga tropa ko from uni” pakilala ni Yangyang sa lima. You looked away dahil sa gulat and tried to hide your face sa likod ni mon ng makarating to. Napansin naman ni Joy ang kinikilos mo kaya tinignan ka niya at tinaasan ng kilay. 

"What the fuck?" You silently cursed.

“Gaga nakatingin sayo yung isa, kilala mo?” mahinang bulong ni Joy. 

Shet shet shet anong gagawin ko. Hindi ko sila kayang harapin. Napatayo ka sa pwesto mo at hinila si Joy sa kusina. You fanned yourself using your hands and let out a frustrated groan.

“Hoy anong meron?” nagtatakang tanong ni Joy.

“Kasi...” napakagat ka naman ng labi, nag iisip kung sasabihin mo ba. 

“Kasi?”

“Naka momol ko yung isa sa kanila.” pag amin mo sa kaibigan mo

“Oh tapos?” sagot ni mon na parang it’s a normal thing. 

“Hindi. hindi lang momol yun. Naalala mo yung sa resort?” you explained further, naalala mo na kinuwento mo sa kanila kaagad yun pag balik mo ng manila. Nanlaki naman ang mata ni Joy ng maalala ang kwento mo

“OHMYGOD! the one na you made out with sa pool?” 

“Yes”

“Gaga ka sino diyan sa kanila?” sabi ng kaibigan mo at sinilip yung pwesto niyo kanina. 

“Yung naka momol ko? Yung naka peach na checkered na long sleeves...”

“What the fuck, sinagip mo ba ang mundo sa past life mo at naka momol ka ng ganun ka gwapo?” Joy said with a tone of disbelief. Totoo naman kasi masyadong too good to be true. 

Sa kabilang banda ay habang nag uusap kayo ni mon sa may kusina ay may mga pares ng mata ang nakatitig sayo. 

Walang duda, ikaw nga.

Napangisi si haechan ng makilala ka niya right away, how can he ever forget you?

Nabali naman ang atensyon ni haechan ng bigla itong tinawag ni Jaemin. 

“It’s her, bakit ayaw mong lapitan?” kalmadong tanong ni jaemin habang nakatitig din sayo. Hindi siya sinagot ni haechan at uminom lang mula sa bote ng beer. Halatang di niya alam kung paano ka i-aapproach.

“Dude, really? That’s new.” Jaemin laughed as he felt haechan’s frustration. Renjun overheard the conversation and decided to join in

“Ang tumal mo naman ngayon” sabi ni Renjun at inakbayan ang kaibigan. Sinamaan lang ito ng tingin at tinanggal ang pag kakaakbay. 

“Fuck off, alam ko ang gagawin ko.”

“Tara na bumalik na tayo dun” pag aaya sayo ni Joy. 

“Nahihiya ako” Umiling ka dahil ayaw mo pa bumalik.

“Naka momol mo na at lahat lahat?” Sumbat ni Joy. That’s the point! Naka momol mo kaya nahihiya ka!

“Gaga bahala ka dyan babalik ako nangangawit na ako kakatayo” dagdag ni Joy at biglang tumalikod. Hindi mo siya pinigilan at pumunta ka nalang din sa labas. Kailangan mo magpahingin at pakalmahin ang sarili mo. 

Pag labas mo ay bumungad sayo ang pool at garden sa bahay nila yangyang. You decided to chill sa may nipa hut sa may pool side dahil wala namang nakatambay dun. Mas konti ang tao dito sa may labas kesa sa loob. 

You took out your phone and scrolled through your camera roll, finding a certain picture. Nang mahanap mo yung picture ay tinitigan mo ito. It was a picture nung papel na binigay sayo ni Haechan last summer, you decide to took a picture of incase na mawala mo. 

After that day, you never dared to contact him. Pinangunahan ka ng hiya. Ano namang sasabihin mo if ever you did? Hello? Ako nga pala yung nakamomol mo under the slide? No way.

You’re too distracted by your thoughts kaya di mo napansin na someone’s coming. He smiled when he saw your face na naka simangot. With two bottles of beer in hand he casually sat in front of you. 

Kita sa mukha mo ang gulat pero hey you expected this to happen. Sandaling nagtama ang mga mata niyo at agad kang umiwas ng tingin.

“What are the odds? Sinong mag aakala na we’ll meet each other again?” He said with a grin plastered in his face. You badly want to punch him in the face pero he’s too hot. 

“Uhh did we meet before?” hala tangina ang bobo mo self!

Haechan raised his brows and stared at you, “I see, ganito pala. I'll play along” he said with a smirk on his face. You can feel your heartbeat increasing again, sino ba kasi ang nagsabi na magpanggap ka pa? 

“What do you mean?” you said, still playing your act. Bahala na!

“We made out in the pool” Haechan bluntly said nasaktuhan naman na umiinom ka kaya naman muntik mo na mabuga yun iniinom mo. you look at his with widened eyes and looked around if may nakarinig. 

“No we didn’t, anyway see you around” you said with a nervous laugh. You quickly stood up and umalis sa nipa hut. Felt a grip around your wrist kaya napatigil ka. Huminga ka ng malalim and hinarap siya. 

“Then, shall I make you remember babe?” Haechan said while looking straight at you then he cocked his head towards the pool. Tangina, what does he mean by that?

“Okay fine I remember, happy?” you decided to drop the act, Ayokong umuwi ng basa.

“You okay?” pag balik mo sa look ay agad kang tinanong ni Chi at inabutan ka ng juice, sa totoo lang? Hindi na ata.

“So ano nangyari?” bulong ni Joy, sasagot ka na sana ng biglang sumigaw si mark. 

“Hey! You’re here?! Wassup!” sabi ni Mark and greeted you. Ngayon nasayo na naman ang atensyon ng lahat. Nung binati ka ni Mark ay sunod sunod ka ng binati nila Jeno.

All of you enjoyed the rest of the night. nag laro kayo ng spin the bottle and other stuff. Halata na lasing na ang iba dahil si Jeno yakap na yakap na kay Renjun at yung iba naman ay tumatayo na at sumasayaw. Habang tinatawanan mo sa Jaemin na sumasayaw na ngayon sa gitna at biglang nag tama ang mata niyo ni Haechan. 

Mula nung nangyari sa may backyard ay hindi na kayo masyado nagpapansinan ni Haechan, Kasi naman para saan yung nangyari kanina sa pool? Ang gulo ha

Tinaasan mo ng kilay si Haechan and mouthed him ‘ano?’, Haechan stood up at nilapitan ka. Agad ka  namang napasandal sa couch ng ilagay niya ang kamay niya sa mga gilid mo at ilapit niya ang mukha niya at bumulong. 

“You look pretty”

And what if that is my last straw?

Haechan stood up and went to the kitchen leaving you dumbfounded. what the fuck? Agad naman kang tumayo at sinundan si Haechan. Nakita mo siya kumukuha ng alak

“What was that for?” You asked habang naka lean sa counter top. 

“I mean it babe”

“Can you please stop calling me babe?”

“Would you like to be called mine instead?” Haechan said with a flirty tone. Pero syempre hindi ka papatalo. 

You pulled his checkered sleeves and whispered to his ear, “i’d like to see you try” 

Haechan smirked and slowly closed the distance and nung tatakas ka na haechan trapped you between his arms. Ayan sandal ka pa sa counter top ah.

“Okay mine, would you like to be mine for the rest of the night?” Haechan said as he gazed upon your lips and eyes. Napatango ka lang naman unconsciously. 

He moved his head closer and you closed your eyes waiting for his lips to touch yours. Bigla ka namang napadilat ng maramdaman mo ang labi niya sa cheeks mo. 

“As much as I want to kiss you right now, madaming makakakita satin baby.” sabi ni Haechan and he tucked a hair in your ear. 

“Tara na hinahanap na nila tayo” he said at hinila ka niya pabalik sa pwesto niyo.

biglang dumami yung tao sa pwesto niyo at halos isang tao na lang ang kasya sa couch. Mabilis mong tinanggal ang pagkakahawak ni Haechan sayo (buti walang nakakita!) at pupunta ka na sana sa tabi ni Joy ng pigilan ka ni haechan. 

“Wala ka ng pwesto dun” 

“Oh okay i’ll get a chair nalang”

“No sit here” sabi naman ni Haechan and you confusedly stared at him. 

“Sit where? Eh halos wala ng space dyan” turo mo sa tabi pagitan ni Haechan at ang katabi niyang si Jaemin. 

“Sit on my lap” Haechan said and tapped his thighs. ano saan ako uupo?

“Maraming tao gago ka ba?” medyo napalakas ang pag kakasabi mo  kaya naman meron iilang napatingin sa gawi namin, by ‘iilan’  ay ang mga kaibigan mo. 

“Does it matter?” pabalik niyang tanong sayo. He has a point, ano naman kung kakandong ka sa kanya?  Ilang segundo kayo nag titigan trying to see kung sino mas matigas sa inyong dalawa. But in the end you gave up and made yourself comfortable in his lap. 

“Much better” Haechan said and wrapped his other arm around your waist. You blushed at his gesture.

Everyone’s super wasted, you can hear all of your friends whining and groaning dahil sa kalasingan. Surprisingly you’re still not THAT drunk kasi sinasalo ni Haechan yung tagay mo. naramdaman mo naman na nilagay ni Haechan ang baba niya sa shoulder mo. yes nasa kandungan ka pa din ni Haechan. 

“Ohh? Are you drunk na?” you asked and side eyed him. 

“No not yet,” he said at umiling. His faint breathing tickles your neck and ears. 

“Sa dami ng tinagay mo di ka pa nalasing?” you said with an amusing tone. 

“High tol ako” he said at tumawa. 

“Sus talaga ba? baka naman niloloko mo lang ako”

“Babe if im drunk di mo ako makakausap ng maayos”

“Hmm good point” 

You felt hot so you decided to tie your hair. habang nag tatali ka ay you felt something soft touch your neck. It sent shivers down your spine. fuck, you silently cursed. Backless nga pala yung dress mo and now you have your hair tied up your back is exposed. 

“You smell good, ” Haechan said, still kissing your back. you squirmed in his lap as his lips continues to place butterfly kisses on your back.

“Haechan...” you said with a warning tone. Kahit na lasing na yung mga kasama nila andami pa din tao na pwedeng maka kita sa inyo. 

“Hmmm” he hummed in response, he’s now kissing your shoulder up to your neck. Huminga ka ng malalim at tumayo sa kandungan niya. 

“Wag dito” sabi mo and you grabbed his hand and pulled him sa kusina. Haechan smirked and let you drag him. Buti naman walang tao sa kusina kaya naman Haechan pinned you against the wall kaagad. He didn’t kiss you agad which made you impatient. 

“So ano titigan mo nalang ako?” mataray mong sabi. Haechan laughed and smiled

“You’re so pretty. I can’t help but to stare” he lifted your chin up and kissed you, passionately. The kiss made your legs wobbly, napakapit ka sa braso niya. 

You missed this feeling, you missed his kisses, you missed him.

“Haech” you accidentally moaned when he bit your lips. Nagulat ka naman when the kiss became intense. He pressed his body onto you kaya naman dikit na dikit ka sa wall. teka di naman ako mawawala

Haechan broke the kiss and tapped your thighs, “Legs up, baby” 

Despite your tight fitted dress you lifted your legs up and let Haechan carry you and gently place you at the counter top. You automatically placed your hands at the back of his head and pulled him for another kiss. 

Haechan chuckled and placed his hands around your waist. As the two of you kiss like there’s no tomorrow. One of your friends shouted that made you and Haechan jump in surprise

“Hoy gaga! Text me kung uuwi ka! Pero mukhang hindi! Basta text mo nalang ako! Mauuna na kami!” Joy shouted mula sa sala, both you and Haechan stared at each other’s surprised faces and laughed. 

Haechan placed a quick kiss at your nose and asked, “My place?”

You giggled and nodded at him. He grabbed your waist and helped you makababa ka sa countertop na medyo mataas pala. paano niya ako naakyat dun? you wondered. Pag labas niyo ng kusina ay nakatanggap kayong dalawa ng asar at mga kantsaw sa mga kaibigan niyo. 

“Grabe meant to be ata kayo”

“Hinay lang naman”

“Respeto sa single”

“Get a room”

“Sana all nalang”

Mabilis niyong dinaanan ang mga kaibigan niyo at nagtungo na sa labas. Nasa parking kayo and haechan stopped at a dashing red mustang. Napasipol ka naman at tintigan ang kotse.

“Nice ride” 

“Right, and you will be riding me next” he playfully said nang makapasok siya sa loob. Hinampas mo naman siya at tinakpan mo ang mukha mong namumula. 

“Gago ka talaga”

“Bakit? Am I wrong?” Jesus take the wheel na po.

Haechan started the engine and looked back para makaalis sa pag kaka park. He placed an arm in your headrest and slowly drove the car in reverse. 

And that’s the hottest thing that you’ve seen today, it feels like Haechan became 100x hotter than before. Nang makaalis na kayo sa pwesto ay nag drive na si Haechan papunta sa condo niya.

The two of you were silent until his phone rang, may text message. Haechan picked his phone up to check the message with his other hand. 

“Hay nako, eyes on the road mister” sabi mo then you crossed your arms. Haechan gave you a quick glance at binaba ang phone niya. 

“My bad, out of habit lang” sabi niya at bigla ulit kayong natahimik. Unsure what to do with the awkward silence between you too you reached out your hand and tapped his thigh. 

“Baby, not here.” Haechan jokingly said and lightly slapped your hand away. Nanlaki naman ang mata mo at hinampas siya

“Hoy nakakailan ka n-” hinapas mo siya uli

“Isa pa hahalik- teka i'm driving!”

“Ikaw kung ano ano nasa isip mo! tatanungin lang kita if i can listen to music” you immediately said at tumawa naman si Haechan. He placed his hand to your thigh and gently caressed it. 

“Naninigurado lang ako. i'm up for it but baby safety first, okay?” sabi niya, inirapan mo lang siya at pilit mong kinakalma sarili mo dahil you’re feeling things dahil sa kamay sa hita mo. 

Not gonna lie, you could get used to this.

Haechan pulled up and both of you hurriedly went inside, atat lang?

As soon as the door closed Haechan immediately pinned you against the wall and claimed your lips. you pressed your body to him and kissed him back. Haechan’s hands travelled down from your arms to your waist, feeling every inch of your body.

“God, this dress does wonders on you” he said between the kiss, his kisses went down to your neck and you tilted your head to give him better access. 

“Hmm? I think I look better without it” you teased, lifting his chin to meet his eyes. His eyes went darker and you yelped when he flipped you around. 

“I bet you do”

With your face facing the wall, Haechan peppered your bare back with kisses and his hands reaching for your breast. A tiny moan escaped when he squeezed your left boob.

“No bra? How convenient” 

You gasped when you felt his hand in your inner thighs. He placed his thigh between your legs for support.

“Haech” you moaned his name when you felt something weird in your stomach when haechan traveled his hands up to your thighs. He hummed and continued to tease you

you whined and turned around, you badly want to feel him too. You placed your arms around his neck and kissed him. He lifted you up and you wrapped your legs to his waist. 

Pumunta at umupo si Haechan sa couch without breaking the kiss. You’re now sitting on top of him kaya naman you smirked and rolled your hips. The unexpected friction made the both of you moan. Haechan slid his tongue inside of your mouth and placed his hands at your waist to press you harder to him as you grind on his lap. 

“Fuck baby” he moaned and threw his head back the you latched your lips to neck, leaving marks. You bit your lips when you felt his clothed member become hard as you grind your hips. Haechan grabbed your ass and lifted you up once again. 

This time he gently placed you on his bed and removed his shirt. Exposing his toned body, he smirked when he saw you staring at his body. 

“Like what you see?” Haechan said as he crawled between your legs. He tugged the hem of your dress and removed it. Haechan stared at you for a moment. He felt his heart skip a beat when he saw you sprawled in his bed, bare and pretty.

He gave you a sweet kiss and placed his forehead to yours, 

“Are you ready?”

You and Haechan shared each other’s warmth that you thought you didn’t need. Magkayakap at magkatabi kayo buong gabi.

Alas nwebe na ng umaga ng magising ka, pag bukas ng mga mata mo at agad sumalubong sayo ang sinag ng araw. You find yourself alone sa kama. Napaupo ka at tumungin ka sa paligid. 

“Hindi ko to kwarto” mahinang sabi mo sa sarili mo, napatigil ka naman sa pag unat ng mag sink in sayo kung nasaan ka at kung ano ang nangyari kagabi. 

Agad namang namula ang pisngi mo at nakaramdam ng kilig. Tangina ang aga aga

You reached out to your phone at nakita mong may iilan kang message from your friends. 

From: Joy

Gaga ka talaga, happy landi! Wag mong kakalimutan na you have class sa tanghali. 

From: Chi

Gm bestie <33 balita ko di ka daw umuwi. Edi sana all may dilig.

Tuluyan namang nagising ang diwa mo sa text ni Joy. Shit, you have anaphy class mamayang 11 pm at heto ka naka hilata pa din sa kama ni Haechan. Nag bihis ka at dahan dahan mong binuksan ang pinto palabas ng kwarto. 

Pag dating mo sa kusina ay agad na tumumbad sayo si Haechan na nakatalikod, Napangiti ka naman kasi you know you made the right decision nang makita mo siya nag luluto ng almusal. 

“Hey” mahinang bati mo sakanya. Napalingon naman si Haechan at ngumiti. Itinigil niya muna ang ginagawa niya at binigyan ka niya ng tubig. 

“Hey good morning, you good?” He said at hinalikan pisngi mo. 

“Medyo dry at masakit lang lalamunan ko but im okay” 

“You screamed my name non-stop kagabi, no wonder masakit lalamunan mo” he said with a smile. muntik mo na mabato sakanya ang baso

“Haechan! Ang aga aga” sigaw mo sa kanya at tinawanan ka lang niya. Pinaupo ka niya sa lamesa at nag almusal na kayo. The two of you talked about random things about each other hanggang sa biglang nagtanong si haechan

“So…why didn’t you called me?” Napatigil ka naman sa tanong niya. 

“Bakit? Hinihintay mo ba ako?”

“I did, so bakit nga?”

“Nahiya ako, and ano gusto mong bungad ko sayo? Hi Haechan it’s me yung naka momol mo sa pool” 

“Well tama naman?” He teasingly said.

“Shut up, andito na ako sa harapan mo okay” sabi mo at inirapan siya. 

After niyo kumain ay nag handa ka na umalis, you told him na may pasok ka today. 

“Hatid na kita”

“Nakakahiya, wag na”

“Baka malate ka if nag commute ka kaya tara na” Makakatanggi pa ba ako?

Bago ka pumunta ng school ay nagpadaan ka muna sa condo mo para kunin ang ibang libro and to your surprise nakasalubong niyo ni Haechan ang Mama mo. Naestatwa ka lang ng makita mo siya palabas ng elevator. Huminga ka ng malalim ng makita mong papalapit ang mama mo sainyo. 

“Sabi nila umalis ka daw sa- oh? Hijo!” Agad namang napansin ng mama mo si Haechan. Ngumiti si haechan at binati ang mama mo. 

“Hi po tita!” Masayang bati nito. Agad mo namang siniko si Haechan, hoping na tumahimik muna siya. 

“Ah ma-” naputol ang sasabihin mo nang nagsalita ulit mama mo. 

“Hijo magkakilala pala kayo ng anak ko, what a coincidence!” Haechan side eyed you bago sumagot. 

“Common friends po tita” he calmly said.

“I see pero bakit kayo magkasama ng anak ko ng ganito ka-aga?” Mama sorry huhuhu

“Mama ano kasi-”

“Nililigawan mo ba anak ko?” Deretchong sabi ng Mama mo nagulat ka naman dahil Haechan is definitely not courting you. Tinapik mo ang Mama mo at pinanlakihan mo ng mata

“Mama ano ba! hindi no magkai-”

“Kung papayagan niyo po ako ng anak niyo at syempre kung papayagan niyo din po ako tita. Manliligaw po ako”

End.

Hiii idk if ur asks are open but 42!Miles x Filo reader pls 🙏🏼

HI PO !! omg, ykw, i was thinking of this, BUT OK ANON CONSIDER IT DONE >:))

miles 42 x filipino reader

i kinda have this feeling that if you get this boy smitten with you, he's at your every beck and call :> like just hit him up with a text or a call (i think he prefers call cuz he wants to hear your voice all the time) and if you'd ask him to go with you to the ukay-ukay to buy a ton of clothes or to come with him to run some errands, BOY HE'S NOT WASTING ANOTHER SECOND, HE'S ON HIS WAY

and he does not follow filipino time ok, when he says he'll be there at one time, he'll be there at that time. if he says he's otw, he's otw (or there alr actually) and you'd probably be like, "akala ko otw ka palang?" ("i thought you said you were just otw"?) and he'd respond with a slight smirk and tell you, "mahal, i follow morales time, not filipino time. if i say i'm otw, nandito na ako (i'm alr here)."

OH AND WHEN HE LEARNS TAGALOG, HE SPEAKS TAGLISH MORE OFTEN AROUND YOU. it's not just to impress you or tell you how much he appreciates you and your culture, but it's also for him to learn more about you and your roots because he genuinely finds it interesting :>>

ngl, he also struggles with the tenses. like sometimes he'll go like: "wdym it's 'naglalakad' and not 'lumalakad'? 'nagtatago'? but 'tumatago' sounds right though..."

you chuckle a little when he messes up sometimes, and he doesn't get mad, it makes him laugh, too :> he's very open to learning more about you and your culture, ESPECIALLY HOW TO TELL YOU HE LOVES YOU IN MORE THAN ONE WAY<3333

being raised by the rizz master uncle aaron himself, he'd know a lot of ways on how to say he loves you without it being a simple "i love you" in english or spanish, and he'd def try that in tagalog and/or in your local dialect!

he found out about the different ways to say "i love you" in filipino dialects, so even if it isn't your dialect, he'd experiment and say them around you a lot just to let you know he loves you without it ever getting old <:)

he calls you: "mahal", "mahal ko", "pangga", "aking sinta", "iniirog ko", AND ON RARE OCCASIONS "beh".

i headcanon that, like miguel, he's very extra with how he tells you he loves you, but in a more lowkey way. like he's more concise in telling you how he loves you, but makes it so heavy.

"handa akong mamatay para sayo, mahal," "ikaw ang tanging minamahal ko," "hayaan mo na ako nang aalaga sayo panghabang-buhay", "wag ka nang mag-alala, ako nang bahala sayo, mahal," "palagi ka nandito sa puso ko, palagi kitang napapanaginipan." (ang cute ng tsikiting ko oh)

OH AND YOUR PARENTS??? JESUS, HE'D BE SO FREAKING RESPECTFUL I CAN'T. like you'd've told him about the mano po culture and saying "po" and "opo", and like noir, HE FOLLOWS IT TO A TEE.

he calls your parents "tito" and "tita", and though he doesn't show too much emotion in greeting them unlike his counterpart, he flashes them a chill smile, which... kinda led them to think he was way older than you LMAO

they fr ask if he was 15, because they have never met any other 15 year old boy like him who respects his own mother and uncle, is willing to learn your native language to understand you and your parents, never fails to do the "mano po" and say "po" and "opo" AND OFFERS TO DO THINGS FOR YOU????? man they're asking him alr if he's planning on marrying you in a few years fr

oh, and i think his favorite dishes would be adobo (pork and chicken adobo !!!!!!!) and lumpia (be it the fried or sariwa ones) >:) IDK I JUST LIKE IMAGINING HIM EATING THE LUMPIA YOU MAKE AND HE'D SMILE AT YOU WITH STUFFED CHEEKS AND TELL YOU, "ansharap mahal"

a/n: I WANTED TO ADD THE COURTING HEADCANONS BUT I MIGHT MAKE THAT SEPARATELY HUHUHU BUT ANYWAY ENJOY THIS ANON <333

Bark: A dog heist

Wealthy people love having things. They get a sick thrill out of it, I think, to be surrounded by things– all the things that people like you and me could never have if we had to pay for it the way those people want us to.

The rarer a thing they have the better. And the more expensive a rare thing is even better still. I'm convinced that half these sickos don't remember the names of the items they acquire, just the price tag.

This holds true for everything, really. If there is something that can be hoarded away in a collection and kept away from those who might love it for what is, rather than for its cost, you can bet some rich fuck has taken it up on themselves to start that collection.

Paintings, jewelry, sculptures, houses, clothes, vintage wine, whatever. It doesn't matter! There is a rich person who is happy to have the thing locked away so that no one else has it.

This is true for animals, too.

And, listen, I've done animal heist jobs. I don't usually like them. Please, don't tell me what a good person I am for stealing away fancy, little animals from fancy, little assholes. The animals are always uncooperative. I respect that, but I don't have to like it! Kestrel and I once had to spirit away a horrible nightmare of an opo-opo from a wealthy idiot. I still have scars from the claws on my shoulder!

As far as I'm concerned, if an animal is being treated reasonably well by its rich collector it's fine. Wealthy fucks haven't yet figured out how to breed animals to care about how much something costs and so, in my opinion, animals are the best thing for those idiots to collect. Let them tear up the expensive curtains, break the expensive pottery, and shit on the expensive sheets. Perfection.

On the other hand…

Sometimes you meet a person so intent on the collecting part that they completely forego the caring part. Sometimes you've been given a job by your world weary fixer to subtly break into a place, steal a stack of papers, and get back out again. And sometimes you can tell your fixer isn't telling you the whole story (I'll be honest here, he rarely tells the whole story). He focuses on the words "quick" and "clean" and reiterates the "subtle" part.

But you and he both know that if he really wanted quick, clean, and subtle he never would have asked you to do this job in the first place.

And maybe you break into that fancy mansion expecting it to be like every other fancy mansion you've ever broken into. You find yourself wondering if the thrill of it is finally starting to fade for you. Is this boring? Why are you doing these jobs if they're boring? Given the time you've spent organizing how to get in here when the place is mostly empty– and how to get around the people still inside– you'd hoped this would be more exciting. You could have planned the ultimate sexy hedonists' party in this time. You could have gotten sloppy drunk so many different times! Why the fuck are you here stealing a stack of papers instead of–

And then you see why Sibert really had you come here. He presents himself as an oh so serious, the business is my life, I hate surprises, I never smile when a frown will do, absolute stick in the mud, I was somehow old by the time I was thirteen sort of man. But he's a secret softie. And he loves animals.

And this place? This place does not love animals. It only loves having them. There are mistreated animals in cages in the room the stack of papers are in. The dogs are so cowed that they don't even bark. They just stare, too scared to lift their heads.

You grab the papers. You think about just going. What else can you even do here? There are too many animals. There is only one you. There are still people in this place. You'll get caught.

Maybe you'll come back later. With a plan. Maybe you just need time to think about this.

"I'll figure this out later," you tell a random dog. You don't know its breed. That's not your thing. Honestly, dogs aren't really your thing.

And then it barks.

It's quiet. Probably no one but you heard it. But it was defiant. It was a sound when all these animals had clearly been "trained" not to make one. And fuck you if you're not responsive to displays of defiance. You're not coming back later to do this. And you're not doing anything subtly. You were never really expected to in the first place.

You're going to save a dozen mistreated animals right fucking now.

You just happen to have a secret weapon: A friend who the Twelve blessed with extraordinary powers to whisper to animals and who doesn't particularly care about trespassing or "laws". All the people you love most are aligned with you on that point.

Like Sibert, Roman loves animals. And like you, he's not interested in these animals being here another single day.

And Nymeia? Her mood is so variable. Her opinion of you shifts day to day, bell to bell. But it seems she loves animals, too. She is firmly on your side for this "quick, clean, subtle heist."

Roman knows someone who can take care of these animals. He has a carriage to get them there. It might be easier to get them to the carriage if you take them in their cages. But you'll be caught before you get 12 animals out in cages and FUCK THAT you're not taking their prisons with them!

This is a prison break!

Your faces are hidden the best they can be.

You both know it's jail if you get caught and the likelihood of getting caught is so absurdly high right now. And you don't care.

There it is!

There's the thrill again!

There's the reason you do these jobs in the first place!

He's made friends with these animals in an instant. Less than instant. Automatically. Automagically. It has to be magic.

There are a few more defiant barks. These ones have been heard. There are people coming up the stairs to the room you're in. This could get bad.

This could get AWESOME.

By the time they're at the top of the stairs you're ready. Prisons unlocked! Animals worked up! They smell opportunity. They smell freedom! When the door opens all the animals burst through, knocking the one maid and two guards down. You slide down the bannister with your cargo barking defiantly as they race down the stairs.

You bark with them!!

You're not usually a dog person. But today? Oh, today you fucking are!

You're not a thief crawling through windows anymore tonight; you're a liberator swinging open the front door! A parade of loudly barking dogs follow you and your friend out and to the getaway vehicle.

Tonight the ward is not quiet. Tonight the ward is alive. It is chaos.

You will not get paid for the job you screwed up. But your fixer will be smiling behind his admonishments. And that might just be payment enough.

((Thank you to @the-wanted-man for letting me steal his character for this dumb story. We're all about stealing here.))

FFXIVwrite 2023 - 02 Bark

Crystal Ash could not remember her time before being amongst those of the Conjurer's guild. She grew up an orphan of Gridania, blessed that the elementals did see fit to spare her from the same cruel fate as her parents, waylaid and slew by Ixal. 

From the moment she could hold a wand she was seen with one, and though the halls of Stillglade Fane were nary a place conductive to rearing children, she was often there, underfoot of the healers and causing them many minor inconveniences.

If not for the patience of Brother E-Sumi-Yan and the others, she for sure would have lived a less fulfilling life. Their recognition of her talent for magic kept her on a steady path, and she grew into an adept mage.

There were few Roegadyn in the Twelveswood and fewer still those of the Viera, but somehow she found her place amongst the Elezen, Hyur and Miqo'te without too much ill attention. The Elezen children were taller until they were not, the Hyur saw her as not different from the cat-earred Miqo'te, and the Miqo'te themselves usually mistook her to just be tall.

It was her sixteenth summer that she suddenly shot up, surpassing all her peers in height, and attracting a bit of unkind attention from those less inclined to accept outsiders. However by then she was well established in her learning and confidence and did not allow for strangers to bother her.

Crystal had seen twenty summers come and go before she knew it, and she had become a very integral part of Gridania's weave. When not meditating in the fane, she was oft lending a hand to the botanist's guild, tending plants at Greatloam Growery or foraging the woods for whatever bounty the surroundings had to offer. Crystal loved her life, she loved the shroud, and never imagined herself leaving the shaded boughs. 

It was after a very successful trip of foraging in Treespeak that she was returning to Gridania in the afternoon, just before the sun had completely disappeared beneath the treeline. Crystal had been gathering all around North Shroud, attempting to fill orders for the Adventurer's guild and the Carpenter's guild. She had a good haul of things Miounne had asked for, which she planned to deliver to her personally, and though she was tired, she was still in good spirits.

Crystal followed the road back to the city, enjoying the sounds of the forest. Birds chirping, leaves rustling in a gentle breeze above. Then there was a low and strained sound, like that of someone in pain. If not for her exceptional hearing she might have missed it. Her blue eyes narrowed warily as she veered off the beaten path. 

The area was known for being swarmed with Ixal, and on more than one occasion had she been pelted with stones by mischievous opo-opo, so Crystal found herself on edge, ears perked and alert atop her head.

Again the pitiful sound filled the air, this time closer, and Crystal urgently scanned the brush until her eyes landed on the outline of a man cast in shadow. He was very still, his slumped figure almost completely hidden between the rock face and a tree. Without hesitation she bolted over, jumping clear through the brush to get to him.

"Oh my goodness, are you alright?" Crystal blurted, but it was clear that the man was not. In dim warm light she could see he was battered and bloody, the leathers he wore pierced through, hiding beneath them terrible seeping wounds, his blonde hair plastered to his face by the dark liquid. "What happened to you?" she asked, looking into his face.

He was an Elezen man with pallid skin, though she could not tell if the color was because of a loss of blood, or if it was his natural complexion. His eyes were skewed shut in pain, a low gurgle wheezing up from him as he breathed. 

Crystal knew his injuries were grave and if he were not treated soon, he would no doubt parish. Quickly she laid her hands upon the worst of his injuries, channeling aether to what seemed to be the worst of his wounds to stabilize him. Once she was done with her ministrations, the blood-flow slowed. Crystal adjusted the pack upon her back and pulled the man into her arms. Though he was about the same height as her, his lithe frame allowed for him to be lifted with ease. 

Crystal thought only for a moment of where she would be going. Hyrstmill was in the north, Fallgourd Float to the west and Gridania in the west, but she knew the longer she took to get him help, the less chance he would be able to make a recovery. She made for the south, where right up the way the Treespeak stables stood.

---

Crystal had been to the Treespeak stables many a time. The Greatloam Growery coveted their fertilizer, and she would help transport it from time to time. However, she'd never been into the stable proper. Young chocobo were easily frightened, and they always asked those that didn't work with the birds to keep their distance. She never thought her first time inside would be under these circumstances.

She came up the hill, shouting to the Wood Wailers standing guard, she was thankful that they didn't ask too many questions before ushering her up into the building. There was a little room annexed away from the stables. It was just enough room for a chair and a cot, but it was clean and it was all she needed.

Tasking the sentries to send for a more experienced healer, Crystal had set about helping the man to the best of her abilities. She peeled his bloodstained leathers from his skin, till all of his wounds were bared to her. She thanked one of the stable hands profusely as he had boiled some water for her and brought some sterile rags, and went about cleaning him off.

If she were not so concerned with saving him, Crystal would have thought how handsome he was. The man was all lean muscle and sinew. As the blood on his face was wiped away a tattoo was uncovered, orange ink emblazoned into his silvery skin. His hair was mostly pale, a gold so light it reminded her of the color of flour. There were was looked to be streaks of a darker color as well, but with the blood staining him, she was not sure if it was natural or otherwise.

Most of the cuts were superficial thankfully, but even the least life threatening looked irritated. Crystal had seen similar wounds before when helping a poor soul that had come through the Shroud before. Ochu were prevalent throughout the great forest. The wounds were usually superficial, but a few more dangerous of the species would spit a nasty acidic mist.

Crystal had patched up the worst of the wounds, but still found his breathing labored. Perhaps he was dealing with a poison as well. She began sorting through her pack, pulling out all the things she'd gathered that day and some other things she'd processed and packaged for delivery.

Sprigs of herbs sweet and savory, bundles of mushrooms and roots and fragrant flowers. She had one bag that she kept separate, full of more dangerous finds, ingredients for a much more learned Apothecary than her. However as she looked over the items, the gears in her head did turn and she found herself pulling out her mortar and pestle.

She dropped in a dried minty herb in and ground it into a fine dust, followed by a bitter herb something said to be good for the pain. She then reached for a strip of bark from her stash, something that she'd meant to give to Miounne. She'd gathered, stripped and dried the bark all on her own and had it tied in a neat little bow of leather ribbon.

Crystal couldn't resist giving it a sniff before she dropped it into the mortar. The smell was sweet and spicy, a fine cinnamon. She wasn't very good at harvesting it yet, so instead of the elegant curls of bark that you would find in the markets, these were thin strips of the stuff. She'd never suffered from embarrassment at her lack of skill, she happy to be learning, and she knew Miounne would love it all the more for the effort she put into gathering it.

With practiced hands Crystal began to crush and grind the bark into the herbs, it was much more work than the flimsy leaves, but she did it all the same, her practiced hands making relatively quick work of it.

The kettle she'd been brought had since gone cold, and so Crystal went out to ask for help and was directed by one of the stable hands to a small hearth right down the way from the room. It didn't take long to reheat the water, and she hurried back to the injured man.

Crystal held her breath as she entered the room, frightened that in that short amount of time away he would have perished. She was still there, eyes skewed in pain and breaths ragged however, and she almost sighed in relief at the sigh because even though he was in pain, it meant he was still there to be saved.

It took no time at all to dissolve the powder into the hot water, and then she was slowly and carefully wetting his mouth with it. Though he'd yet to speak, he eagerly gulped down the liquid. Crystal wondered if he must be still aware of her presence despite the pain, and she prayed to the Matron that the healer would make it sooner than later.

Hours passed with no word and before Crystal knew it the sun was rising again. The small cup of tea she'd made had steadily been drained over the evening, and come morning the mans labored breaths had slowed and steadied. She'd just been about to let herself relax when hurried footfalls alerted her once more.

---

When the healer arrived Crystal was relieved. He was a Hyur man of average height, in plain robes and a pointed hat. He asked her questions about the aid she'd given him, all the while apologizing profusely for his late arrival and praising her on her ministrations. Her medicine seemed to be doing the trick, it would just take them getting him to a more suitable place of rest and recovery, which the doctor had organized in form of a chocobo carriage awaiting them outside.

Crystal helped move the Elezen man into the landau, asking for a ride back to the city proper, where she allowed him to be taken care of by the healer in her stead. Though she did wonder of his safety, she kept herself preoccupied by diving back into work after getting a bit of rest herself.

---

It was after another day of foraging perhaps a moons time after the ordeal that Crystal was stopped on her way to her room by Miounne. The Elezen beauty nearly gushed with pride as she stopped her, beaming as she announced that Crystal had a visitor. 

Crystal was too tired to realize Miounne's strange behavior, but she curiously raised an eyebrow and followed the Elezen woman's gaze to a seat across the room to a man that was seated by himself. At the moment her eyes met his face, he happened to look up, and it was with trepidation that he stood. She recognized him immediately, the Elezen man she had helped.

Crystal found her feet moving before she could think to thank Miounne, and she met him a few steps from the table. She stood unblinking for a moment taking in his appearance. His grey skin was clean and unblemished, his hair pushed back into a sleek handsome style. He wore a plain tunic belted at the waist and a pair of rather tight looking leggings that showed off his long slender legs. A smile lit up her face as she looked him over.

The Elezen man blinked, a look of regret or pain flashing through his eyes for just a moment.

"Dearest Lady." He began, taking a knee carefully before her. "I was told when I woke from my slumber that to find mine savior I needed look for a brawny lass that worked for the Conjurer's guild, pray tell me it is you I have been waiting for?"

Crystal's eyes skewed wide in embarrassment as she panicked, trying to think of how to even reply.

"Br-BRAWNY?!" Was all she could muster.

Authors note:Oops this one is way longer than I mean to make it but whatever! It helped me with figuring out some of Crystal Ash's back story and how she met one of her retainers. I did want to write more about them getting to know one another but my gosh, I needed this to be done so I don't get to caught up in it. I really want to participate all month this time, so I can't let myself burn out on one piece.

[virgilisspidey]

The most embarrassing thing just happened to me.

For context, Filipinos use "po" and "opo" when politely addressing someone with higher authority/someone older.

So I went out with my mom to get our aunt's things to her (even if i was dizzy af, but it turns out i just needed sugar in my body but anywhizzle)

And then I see this tall ass dude. I assumed it's our aunt's driver since they're rich and stuff and didn't think any of it.

So my mom said "Pakidala sa kotse nung gamit" (Get the things to the car)

And he nods and takes the plants and went to the car. And then he asked me

"Pwede pakilapit" (Can you bring that closer)

He's referring to the big ass plastic crate container thing we have and you know what I said??

I SAID

"Opo" (It means the polite way to say yes)

AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT WAS MY COUSIN.

THE GUY I GREW UP WITH, THE GUY THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SMALLER THAN ME, THE GUY THAT'S YOUNGER THAN ME BY A YEAR.

WHAT THE FUCK

I THOUGHT HE WAS AN ADULT.

To be fair tho he wore a facemask

BUT "OPO"??????

KINGINA VRO I'M SO EMBARRASSED I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS HIM SOMEONE PLS THROW ME OFF A BRIDGE NOW
