WAIT! WAIT! you already answered my first question in my previous ask- I NEED to change it! Please- new 1st question:

What is the funniest looking butterfly you know?

I need to know this.

OOOOOOOO This is a fun one! And don't feel bad about asking about my favorite butterfly! (My secret is I always have more favorites).

I know a lot of funny looking butterflies. Ranking them by how funny looking they are is a task for another day, so for now I'll just give you a few I can think of off the top of my head.

Anna's 88 Butterfly (Diaethria anna)

There is a fun little trend of patterns on butterfly wings. Some are eyes, which make sense from an evolutionary standpoint. Some are bright colors, which help with mating.

And ONE IN PARTICULAR CHOSE

Numbers

yeah, idk get it either. They are funny looking little guys though. They mostly live in central America and Mexico, but if you're lucky you could find one in Texas.

2. American Snout

So, if you read the name, you may already have an idea of what this butterfly looks like. All I can say is that it definitely lives up to the name lmao. I mean, just look at that SNOOT!

Just a funny lookin guy with a big schnooz. That big ol' conk. It's a think of BEAUTY!

And also comedy lmao.

3. Zeltas amasa

Where's the common name, you may be asking. Well, I'll get to that later. For now..

LOOK AT THIS THING! LOOK AT IT'S LITTLE TAILS! LOOK AT IT'S LITTLE FACE! IT'S SO CUTE, AND SO RIDICULOUS LOOKING!

BUT THAT'S NOT EVEN THE BEST PART

LOOK AT THAT! A BRILLIANT BLUE REVEALED UNDERNEATH, LIKE CINDERELLA BEING GIFTED HER BALLGOWN BY THAT TREE SHE CRIED ON!

Now, you're probably thinking, why is this on a funny looking butterfly list? I get that. This butterfly is a think of beauty.

Well, the reason dear asker, is because of the name that was gifted to this magnificent creature. This marvel among mankind had the name bestowed upon it off...

The FLUFFY TIT !!!!

𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐃𝐎- (spencer reid editon) <3

that little book scan thing he does with his fingers. (Need I say more like omfg)

talking to you softly in that voice, yk the one . While making direct eye contact no less; reid does this more so when he wants to tease you or get a serious read on what your underlying intentions are. Though 88% of the time he doesn’t have to do this considering your tells are pretty obvious. It never hurts to see you all flustered and stumbling on your words when he does this. when (I was watching the infamous 11x11 episode I could only ENVY way Reid was talking to cat. I mean we all know he was playing her but come fucking on. I understand why she would be acting like how she did, I mean shiiiii. )

the way he sits (specifically after season 12 good god; it’s not exactly manspreading but it’s damn near it. And when he does it good lord, you could be talking about the details of the unsubs mo but once reid sits down suddenly your teeth are gnawing down on your bottom lip.

Tilts your chin up; and the thing is half the time when he does this it’s not even in a dominating or commanding way. It’s more so of him just wanting to see your eyes when you talk and those pretty lips of yours <3

does that little waist move thing when he realizes your closer to the street than he is; as a sweet, caring boyfriend he wouldn’t dare to let his darling walk near there street like that. So of course he’ll run his hand along your lower back, guiding you to the safer part of the street.

when he says good morning/ hi sweetheart I’m his morning voice UGH; it’s not too gruff or raspy just like soft but like butterfly inducing. That little smile he gives you when you finally wake up doesn’t help either.

that little puppy dog eye thing he does; it actually drives you ridiculously crazy when your sweet, golden retriever like of a boyfriend does this, it’s almost criminal. Cuz you would think he’s trying to tease you. He’s trying to mess with you right? No, surprisingly. Hes either begging you for physical attention or promising you that he’ll come back after a case. Promising to shower you in kisses and flowers as soon as he returns.

Honorable mentions <33

kisses you like he needs you to breathe

when he man handles unsubs

that one scene of him pining an unsub down with his foot

Diethria anna, known as the Anna’s 88 butterfly is native to central and south America. It gets its name from the unusual pattern on its wings, making it one of the prettiest butterflies.

MHA Prompt

Aizawa’s wife forgets him (Wanted to do so much more with this, sad it didn’t work out)

Captured by the league with the intent to transform you like they did to Oboro

You're rescued before the transformation can be completed

No physical damage is done but mentally you weren't the same

you flip flop between yourself and a programmed villain

Aizawa was committed to staying by your side and had total faith that the partial effects could be reversed

You tried your hardest but the following year was turbulent. The outburst and fits created messes sometimes too big to hide from you once you turned back to normal, making you feel guilty and like a burden.

The doctor explained that you were being affected in a way that was somewhere in between of a split personality and alzheimer’s. Slowly this switch would continue to take over; overriding your natural state of mind until you eventually become this other person.

A person with no memory of who they 'used to be'.

A person who didn’t love Aizawa anymore.

It felt like your life ended right there.

You and Aizawa kept trying to make it work, even when you 'went away for a while'.

A unique spin on long distance relationships is how Aizawa tried making light of it but you could see how much he was hurting

Your doctors worked out as many bugs as possible; there's no more 'evil twin' of yours after a year but there was nothing to be done about you still turning into another person.

The switches were increasing in frequency and duration as well.

It wouldn't feel like the end of the world if this 'other you' didn't have zero romantic feelings for Aizawa whatsoever.

You couldn't cope with the knowledge that one day you'd refuse his loving embrace, and not be filled with butterflies when he smiled at you.

You finally snap and Aizawa accepts the reality of the situation

Aizawa couldn't stand it any longer and tried absolutely everything to put it off but you were in so much pain, so was he, and things reached a point that it was unavoidable any longer.

Aizawa divorces you. So when 'the time comes' you can be set free entirely.

You cling to him for every waking moment of sanity that you have left

Then one day you drifted out of his reach for good

People grieved with and comforted Aizawa as best they could

Then struggled to pretend that nothing's happened around you

A year passes and things relatively settled

you lived a brand new life and Aizawa truly wished you a lifetime of happiness

Before your mind completely went, the 'other you' developed a crush on none other than Allmight

It became a nightmare for both men

Allmight wanted to drop dead the first time he realized you were flirting with him, knowing this had to be violating some kind of bro-code or law or moral something!!!!?

He avoided you as best he could then later, once you were yourself again and full of shame, he'd awkwardly accept your apology

He also pleaded with Aizawa to understand he wasn't feeding your crush whatsoever, that this was a very uncomfortable position to be in

Aizawa never thought he'd have to watch you fan over another man with his own eyes and the pain of seeing it is agonizing

But he says it's okay

Because he can't remember how long it's been since he's seen you so happy; so much like yourself again

So Aizawa implores Allmight to give things a chance.

If it meant you'd be well taken care of by someone he knew to be trustworthy and treat you how you deserved, then Aizawa would support it

Allmight is hardly put at ease but Aizawa can no longer hold the torch for you. Who better to carry it for him than Allmight.

Finally, for his friend's peace of mind, he agrees to entertain things

At a very VERY slow pace

A snail could run laps around Allmight he took things that slowly

Everyone around you could understand the situation, also wanting the best for you as well, but it took so long to get used to seeing you with someone other than your husband, whom you loved dearly 'til your final days of sanity

Allmight struggled to shake feeling icky about this whole thing but there are moments he could see the silver lining and cherished getting to see you happy again

People ask Aizawa how he deals with the agony of seeing you with someone else, acting so normal when you'd come to visit Allmight on campus every now and then, and engage in conversations with you as if you had only ever been acquaintances.

He tells them to just look at you and how full of life you were again

He'd never deny that there isn't a single day he wished this was all a dream or that you'd magically come back to your senses and fall back into his arms. Arms that ached to hold you and a heart that missed you more than it could bare.

Aizawa would never remarry, he'd never consider it.

Aizawa would tell you how he was once married to the love of his life, and how she's long passed, but that he will always love her and couldn't wait until they’d meet again

Here we are with xxxholic 88 - now featuring Watanuki in the naughty corner. 

Or rather Watanuki wrapped up like he’s a cursed item? The Monkey’s Paw looked a little bit like this as well. I wanted to look into this kind of thing a bit more but the only thing Google will show me is Jujutsu Kaisen results so I guess I will just suffer instead. I’ll just assume it’s a seal unless anyone can tell me more. 

Either way I’m fascinated over some of the small changes in iconography here. We have Evil Wolverine’s symbol on the pedestal but it’s not in its usual shape - here it’s slightly twisted like it’s an actual bat trying to avoid the moon, which is on the plaque as well. Watanuki has a giant sunburst behind him, with rays coming down all around him - and the sun as a symbol is pretty rarely used in Tsubasa/xxxHolic, since most of the cast are associated with the moon instead, except a few like Clow Reed. At the very least it gives a little family connection, even aside from all the spiritual symbolism.

There are little bats in the bottom corners of the page too, but they’re also shaped a little strangely, almost looking like evil peaches? Like that's probably not it but it's all I can see now. Yuuko’s butterfly is here also, sort of, in the shape of the incense holder. 

It’s a very fun take on Watanuki - like a living curse on the universe made real, sealed away and hidden from the person who made him and wants to use him for personal gain. (Also like the Monkey’s Paw) It’s strange to see Watanuki in the framing as something dangerous, or harmful - but it links together with the idea that he is a glitch of a person who was never supposed to exist. And those sad eyes as he stares directly at the camera! Like he’s resigned to it. 

The frame of the page is also giving Clow Card, which is really making me wonder what you would title this if it was. I’m open to suggestions!

Artists / Y/n Y/l/n

Pop Female Vocalist Indie Folk Post-teen Pop Singer-songwriter

Published December 2nd, 2023. 11:29AM PST

Y/n Y/m/n Y/l/n (born January 11, 2001, in Annapolis, Maryland) is an American singer-songwriter. Y/l/n is a 3-time Grammy winner with a total of 11 nominations (as of October, 2023). As of October, 2023, Y/l/n has sold 26 million albums and 88 million singles worldwide.

Y/n Y/l/n is a internationally praised pop-indie phenomena. She quickly rose to fame at only 17 when she released her debut album Pause (February 19, 2018). Pause sold over a million copies in less than 48 hours, soaring to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 8 of Y/n's songs took place on the top ten and it took 41 weeks for Y/n's songs to exit the top 10. Pause racked up 3 Platinum singles, including Blouse, Innocent, and Bags.

Y/n Y/l/n's fame somehow skyrocketed higher when she released her second album Chaser (January 19th, 2020). The album features mostly love songs, rumored to be about her then boyfriend, NHL player Mathew Barzal. The album featured best sellers such as Cruel Simmer, Habits, and Happiness is a Butterfly.

As we stay on the topic of her ex boyfriend, she has been stuck in one scandal regarding her love life. In September of 2021, 20 months after releasing Chaser, there were paparazzi videos released of the IT couple in a shouting match on the street outside of popular restaurant, BOA Steakhouse, in Los Angeles, California. Video depicted Y/l/n crying as she fought with the hockey player, who was caught insulting Y/n very explicitly. The video ends with Barzal storming back into BOA Steakhouse, and Y/l/n sitting on the curb, awaiting her ride after the NHL star shouted, "Get a f***ing Uber back if you're going to be a b***h and embarrass me like this!" Bystanders watch as Y/l/n entered long time friend Tate McRae's car.

Less than a week later Y/n confirmed the end of the three year long relationship, with no further comments. While there have been no albums released since Chaser, in January 2020. Y/l/n has released two singles, Memories, and The Cut That Always Bleeds, both released in the summer of 2022.

As of now, December 2023, there has yet to be any major news of new music, but there's always the tiny bits and rumors that get down to the public. While Y/n has promised an album in 2024, she has yet to set a release, causing fans to believe it will come in the later months of the new year.

All in all, Y/n Y/l/n is a talented, young superstar. She captivates audiences like few can, and with the way her career is going now, could be one of the biggest star the world's ever seen. Most recently, Y/n was spotted in a cozy Baltimore suburb alongside Taylor Swift, who Y/n has repeatedly mentioned as her biggest influence when it comes to music, as well as her biggest fan. Swift seemed to take Y/n under her wing in 2019, even having Y/n open a stretch of her shows at The Eras Tour, in 2023, as well as the US shows in late 2024!

There are obviously large things in store for this young influential woman, and I can't help but applaud all of her hard work and dedication to her work.

The others were used to it now, only ever stepping in if the argument went too far. Despite the consistent rivalry, there was an unspoken tension between you two, and no one decided to speak about it. You'd all gone on vacation for the summer, your friend group and your brother's friend group, with you unfortunately being stuck in the same car as Johnny, Yuta and your best friend, Haeun. “Keep your legs on your side and we won’t have a problem, understood?” He said as he leaned back and spread his legs out. "You do the same then!" you groaned, rolling your eyes at him. He smirked and spread his legs out further, taking up more of the space. “What? Is this bothering you?” He asked in a mocking tone, looking over at you. A devilish glint in his eyes as he purposely pushed his knee closer to yours.

Johnny just chuckled at your pleas, looking into the rear mirror to see Yuta watching the interaction intently. Johnny wasn’t stupid, he knew how much you two annoyed each other and he also knew how much Yuta secretly liked you. He wasn’t about to let you get out of this car though. “No, you’re staying put.” He chuckled, declining the offer. "Oh come on!" You groaned, throwing your head back in frustration as you pressed your legs to your chest. Yuta chuckled at your reaction and smirked, enjoying every bit of your frustration. He was amused by how easily he could rile you up. He leaned over towards you slightly, getting in your personal space as he spoke in a mocking tone. “What’s wrong? Don’t you wanna share such a small space with me for seven hours?” he smirked, enjoying riling you up with the situation. you huffed, ignoring him and moving your legs up, resting them up on his lap.

Yuta raised an eyebrow at you when you put your legs on his lap. He didn’t expect you to actually retaliate, let alone to put your legs on him. The smirk on his face was now gone, replaced with a more surprised expression. He could feel his body warm up the moment you touched him, and butterflies in his stomach. He kept his eyes on you, his hand slowly going down and resting it on your thigh. you didn't say anything, keeping in mind the way he was looking at you before listening to your music and closing your eyes to take a nap. Yuta's hand remained on your thigh, not moving at all. He looked at your face intently as you closed your eyes and started to listen to your music. He slowly started to rub your thigh, feeling how soft and smooth your skin was under his touch. He couldn’t help staring at you, thinking about how cute and innocent you looked when you weren’t annoyed or yelling at him.

----

you let out a groan as you saw the room you were meant to share, shaking your head. "please tell me Johnny's joking." you asked Yuta as you walked in first. Yuta followed you into the room and instantly froze when he saw the bed. He had to stop himself from widening his eyes in surprise when he realised they’d be sharing the bed together, having to spend seven days in the same room as you. He also couldn’t deny how good you looked, but he quickly pushed that thought away. “This can’t be happening” He muttered under his breath as he walked towards one side of the bed. "I'm gonna go complain at him. it's one thing swapping so he can stay with his girlfriend but it's another thing having to share one bed with you." you grumbled, shaking your head at him as you shoved your suitcase to the side. He quickly reached out and grabbed your arm, gently tugging you back towards him to stop you from going to find Johnny. He didn’t want you to complain, he didn’t want to ruin this opportunity. “Wait. Just.. just wait” He didn’t even know why he stopped you, but something about the thought of changing rooms annoyed him. “Can you just.. can you at least stay and think about this?”

"Yuta-" you started before he cut you off again, shaking his head in response. “Let me finish!” He snapped suddenly, his grip getting slightly tighter on your arm as he pulled you closer. “Can you just.. hear me out?” He asked with a calmer voice. He didn’t know why he got so frustrated with you but part of him desperately wanted you to listen to him and not go to Johnny. "Why do you keep looking at me like that?" you murmured, looking at him. Yuta froze for a moment, realising that you could see through him. Nobody else has ever been able to tell how he really felt and he couldn’t help but feel exposed under your gaze. He quickly composed himself, acting like he didn’t know what you were talking about. “Like what?” He responded blankly. "Like that. Do you like me or something?" you asked, chuckling gently, not serious at all. Yuta froze up and his heart started racing at your words. He didn’t know how to respond, so he tried to act like his normal sarcastic self. “L-like you? Pfft, of course not. Why would I ever like you?” He tried to keep up the act, but it was already slipping.

“I’m asking because I’ve seen the way you look at me. You don't look at someone you hate like that." you huffed, looking at him, inching slightly closer. He was starting to panic a bit, he felt like he was backed into a corner with nowhere to run. He wasn’t expecting you to figure out how he was actually feeling. He let out an annoyed scoff and looked away, trying to keep up the act but he knew it was futile. “Bullshit. I don’t look at you any type of way” He tried to sound nonchalant but his words came out rushed and panicked. "no?" you mumbled, now standing in front of him, only a little space in between. He swallowed hard and looked back at you, the way you were standing in front of him making his body feel like it was on fire. He hated this. He hated how flustered he was feeling and the way his heart was beating hard against his chest, especially having you so close to him. He quickly realised there was no point trying to deny how he felt. “I.. I…” He stuttered, at a loss for words as he looked down at you. "then there's no issue in me changing rooms I suppose then." you murmured, teasing him as you slowly pulled away.

He panicked as you started pulling away from him, feeling desperate to keep you close to him. He quickly reached out and grabbed your waist, holding you in place. “Wait.. wait wait” He suddenly blurted out, keeping his grip on your waist as his eyes roamed all over your body like they usually do, taking you in. Your cheeks heated up, arms wrapping around his neck to keep yourself balanced. His breath hitched in his throat and his heart pounded painfully in his chest when you wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling your body closer to him. His grip on your waist involuntarily tightened more, so close to just pulling you against him and holding you there. “Fuck..” He whispered under his breath, unable to look away from you. you couldn't help your eyes from trailing between his eyes and lips, the tension at a peak. He noticed you looking at his lips, his eyes following yours as he realised you’re now focused on his lips. His heart was on the verge of exploding out of his chest and his brain screamed at him to just lean down and kiss you. He couldn’t resist anymore. With a sudden movement, he pushed you back against the wall, trapping you against his body with a hand on either side of your head to brace himself.

"don't tease.." you murmured, whining slightly, looking up at him innocently. He smirked at your whiny tone, loving how helpless you looked against him. His own body felt like it was going to explode from how much he wanted you, he wanted to just push you onto the bed and have you there for himself. He just couldn’t resist messing with you first. “And you think you’d be able to handle me not teasing you?” He spoke in a smug tone, his smirk widening as his eyes raked all over your body. The little pleading whine that came out of your mouth was absolutely intoxicating to him, and he leaned in more so that his body was pressed up against yours completely. He was barely resisting the urge to just kiss you right there and then, but he was also having fun riling you up at the same time. “Please what, hmm?” He asked in a low voice, a smirk plastered on his face knowing exactly what you wanted him to do. "Kiss me. please." you whimpered, desperateness clear in your voice. He inhaled sharply as your words and whimpering finally pushed him over the edge. He couldn’t control himself any longer or hold back from what he’s been wanting for so long. He groaned again and instantly closed the gap, smashing his lips against your own as his hand immediately moved from the wall to the back of your neck, pulling you even closer. He kissed and nipped at your lips desperately, like he couldn’t get enough of you. He didn’t want to ever let you go.

you kissed him back, hands tangling in his red locks as you pulled him closer. He let out an involuntary moan as your fingers threaded through his hair, sending chills down his spine. He loved the way you pulled his head down, needing him closer and closer. He moved his body even more against you, pinning you against the wall and practically trapping your body with his. His hand moved from your neck to your thigh, slowly stroking along the skin underneath your shorts as his kiss got more and more heated. you kissed him back with just as much passion, muttering a curse under your breath as you heard your name being called from downstairs. "Fuck sake.." you mumbled. He let out a frustrated groan as he heard someone call your name, desperately not wanting to stop. He didn’t want anyone else to get in the way and he didn’t want to have to let you go. “Ignore it” He breathed between kisses, his hand moving further up your thigh, fingers teasing the hem of your shorts. "Yuta, I can't…it's..johnny.." you murmured in between kisses, caressing his cheek.

He let out a huff of annoyance and slowly pulled away from your lips, resting his forehead against yours again. He was getting frustrated at the constant interruptions and he couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the sound of Johnny’s voice. “I’m gonna kill him” He muttered under his breath, the hand on your thigh still rubbing along your bare skin. "I'll see you in a bit, pretty boy." you murmured gently, kissing his cheek before pulling away, looking at him one last time before disappearing out and down the stairs. He just watched as you retreated out of the room, still breathing deeply and trying to calm himself down. His heart was still racing and his body was on fire, his thoughts still filled with your taste and the way you felt when he held you. He let out a frustrated groan and ran his hand through his hair, pushing it out of his face as he flopped back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling and waiting for you to return.

Maybe you weren't enemies anymore.

----

You spoke way too soon. Ever since that incident, he had been avoiding you. Going to sleep once you were in bed, always moving away once you approached him, sitting far away from you when he used to move closer. Even the others had picked up on it, no arguing filling the vacation home like it usually did, instead you walked and moped around, confused and hurt by the incident. Everyone had noticed the sudden change in the two of you. You went from arguing and fighting like cats and dogs to barely speaking, and Yuta was acting like you didn’t even exist. Johnny and the others had picked up on the tension and weird atmosphere whenever you and Yuta were in the same room. Yuta knew he was being cold and distant towards you but he couldn’t help it, he didn’t want you to notice how flustered and flustered he still was around you. He just needed to stay away from you. you'd decided to sit on the balcony in your room, letting him get ready for bed in the room while you leaned on the balcony, taking in the view.

Yuta got changed for bed and got into the shared bed, sighing to himself as he laid there. He couldn’t sleep, he hadn’t been able to sleep the past few nights when you were in the room with him. He sat up, looking over at the balcony windows to see you standing out there by yourself. He watched you for a minute, debating with himself on whether or not he should go out there. He eventually gave in to the thoughts in his brain, getting up off the bed and walking towards the balcony door. He slowly opened the door and stepped out, walking up beside you without saying anything. "Do you ever think about me?" you spoke quietly, breaking the silence after a few minutes, looking at him, ignoring your shivering from the chilly wind. Yuta froze when you spoke and turned to look at you, almost shocked that you were talking to him after he’d been cold and distant. He could still see the hurt in your eyes because of him. He stayed quiet for a moment and swallowed hard, his heart immediately racing as he tried to think of what to say. “Of course I do” He finally answered, his voice soft and low.  “I’ve spent all this time wondering and worrying about you. You didn’t think of me once?” you spoke, voice wavering slightly as you hummed, looking away from him immediately.

He looked at you with an emotionless expression, his heart feeling painfully tight as he watched your body shiver from the cold. He desperately tried to hide the way his heart was racing and aching from having you so close to him again. “Nope, not once. You’re nothing to me” He lied through his teeth, knowing he shouldn’t be saying any of this. "Whatever." you grumbled, wiping your tears as they rolled, brushing passed him to go back into the room. He couldn’t stop you that time, he felt frozen and completely paralysed watching you turn away from him and walk back into the room. He stood where he was for a few more seconds, contemplating what he should do or say. He hated seeing you like that, he hated the way you tried to hide your tears from him, he hated that he couldn’t touch you and tell you he didn’t mean it. He eventually snapped out of his frozen state and quickly walked back into the room after you and grabbed your arm. "let me go." you whispered, tears streaming as you gently sobbed. His heart broke even more watching you cry, seeing how hurt you are and not being able to do anything about it. He just wanted to reach out and hold you, to comfort you and tell you the truth, but he was afraid of being vulnerable and letting his guard down. "No..” He mumbled under his breath, grabbing both of your wrists now and turning you around to face him. "Stop lying to me yuta." you sobbed, not fighting as he pulled you into his chest.

He slowly wrapped his arms around you, letting out a shaky exhale as he held you against his chest. Despite what he said aloud, he was secretly relieved to finally be holding you after days of trying to avoid you like the plague. He rested his chin on top of your head, trying to soothe you and calm you down as he stroked along your back gently. “I’m not lying sunshine.” He whispered into your hair, hating himself for keeping up this act for so long. "I don't believe you." you sniffed, shaking your head. He hated the fact that you didn’t believe him, he couldn’t blame you for it when he’s been acting so cold. “Baby.. Look at me” He whispered, putting his hands on both sides of your face and gently pulling you away from him so he could look at you. He wiped away the tears falling on your cheeks with his thumbs, his heart breaking at the sight of how upset you looked. your heart rate sped up at the nickname, finding yourself forgiving himself anyway, looking at him. "..what?" you whispered, leaning into his hand. His eyes roamed all over your features as he wiped away your tears. Even when you were crying, he still thought you were the most beautiful person he’d ever seen. He didn’t know how long he could keep denying what he truly felt for you. “Please.. don’t cry anymore”. He murmured in a soft tone, his voice almost pleading for you to stop crying. He slowly pulled you back into his chest, wrapping his arms around you gently and holding you against him.

He let his words settle in between the two of you before he continued speaking. “I think about how annoying you are, how sarcastic and bratty you can be” He let out a small huff, trying to hold back a smirk at the thought. “And I think about how much you drive me crazy.. how pretty you look when you glare at me, how I want to kiss you when you pout your lips at me” he confessed, his voice sounding desperate and shaky. He could tell he had your attention now, he could see the change in your eyes hearing him say that he thinks about you. His heart was racing at a mile a minute, his brain screaming at him to stop lying but he couldn’t resist any longer. “There’s not a second that goes by when you’re not on my mind, I think about you every second of the day and it’s driving me crazy.” He admitted in a quiet voice, watching your expression intently. He swallowed hard as he kept looking into your eyes, his heart thumping in his chest as his own words hit him. He was realising how stupid he’s been for trying to stay away from you, how stupid he was for pushing you away like that even if it was what he thought was right. “I think about how good it felt when I had you pinned against the wall” He suddenly blurted out, the memory from before coming to mind. you giggled, sniffing as he wiped his tears, kissing his cheek. "so do I." you croaked out.

It might not seem like it, but his heart swelled. He loved having you back in his arms again and he loved feeling your lips against his skin, seeing you smile and hearing you giggle. “Yeah? You enjoyed that, huh?” He teased but his voice was quiet and shaky. His hands moved from your face to your waist, holding you against him. "but what about Johnny?" you murmured, playing with his hair as his hands ran along your back. He froze again when you mentioned Johnny, sighing deeply. He hated having to talk about his friend at a moment like this, he hated how Johnny’s presence was hanging over the both of them. He gently buried his face in your shoulder, nuzzling against your neck and breathing in your scent. “I don’t care about Johnny” he mumbled against your skin, his hands on your waist slowly rubbing gentle circles on your hip bones. "but what if my brother doesn't agree?" you frowned, caressing his cheek, slightly anxious. He pulled his head away from your shoulder, looking you in the eyes again. “I don’t care what your brother thinks” He said simply with an edge in his voice, his fingers still rubbing gentle circles against your skin. “I just want to be with you.. to hold you like this all the time.. to kiss you whenever I want” he added softly, letting his true feelings come through.

Maybe this wasn't so bad after all.
