I am so JoJo(ba)pilled rn so here I am, rambling about a jojo AU that’s been on my mind (also, to preface this: I’ve been watching the series out of order, I started with Golden Wind, went to Stone Ocean and all that’s left is eight episodes of Stardust Crusaders, so my jojo knowledge is a bit lacking but whatever)

Anyway, post part 6 AU where after Jolyne dies to Pucci, she wakes up in the past right before the events of part 3 takes place. Like, Jotaro has freshly put himself in jail and Holly’s taken in Jolyne.

Like, imagine from Jolyne’s perspective, 90% of her friends, including her dad who’s basically been her entire motivation for practically everything in the series, has just died, and she just has to hope to whatever kind of fate that exists that Emporio, this eleven year old kid that’s basically her younger brother at this point, will make it out alive. She lets go, and she expects herself to have died, but then…

She wakes up. Blinking awake she blurrily sees a woman with blonde hair, and her first thought is, “grandma…?”

Only to then fully wake up and realize oh shit she’s not dead???

And then, wait, Grandma??? She looks way too young??? wtf???

So yeah, then Jolyne becomes a Stardust Crusader, trying to keep the fact that she’s Jotaro’s daughter from the future and secret and also vaguely knowing plot points due to Jotaro’s memory disc

Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) 1998

"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" is a song by Italian music group Eiffel 65. It was first released in October 1998 in Italy and became internationally successful the following year. It is the lead single of the group's 1999 debut album, Europop.

The song initially found success in France, where it debuted in August 1999 and reached number one for three weeks. It then found success in other European countries, reaching the top spot on many charts in September the same year. It became one of the biggest-selling songs of 1999, reaching number one in at least 18 countries, charting at number three in Italy, and peaking at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100 in January 2000. It reached number one in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. In the UK, the song initially entered the top 40 purely on import sales; it was only the third single to do this. The song re-charted on 6 May 2013 at number 40 in the UK, following its inclusion in Iron Man 3.

The song received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 2001 Grammy Awards. "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" has also been heavily sampled and remixed in later years.

The accompanying music video for the song was released in 1999 by BlissCoMedia, a computer graphics division of Bliss Corporation, and featured computer-generated graphics that were done in 3ds Max. With very few resources, tutorials and books, and only one editing machine, the video was made between 1998 and 1999 in a garage in about two to three months.

"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" received a total of 75,2% yes votes!

Hardkorowe (i mniej hardkorowe) sposoby żeby nie jeść:

(będę wdzięczny za rebloga)

1. Wszelaki piercing w jamie ustnej:

a) cheeks/dahila piercing, kolczyki, które bardzo trudno wygoić, a przede wszystkim odpada możliwość jakiego kolwiek jedzenia poza praktycznie musami, a poza tym, trudno nawet pić wodę, również odpada nabiał ze względu na żywe kultury bakterii, noi bardzo wchodzi pokarm pomiędzy kolczyki, dlatego przez przynajmniej 2-3 tygodnie odpada kompletne opychanie się, prawie każde nie-płynne jedzenie, noi przede wszystkim to jest indywalne, bardzo trzeba o nie dbać. Oczywiście zero palenia i picia, chyba że lubicie ryzyko. Co więcej kolczyki te często robi się aby otrzymać dołeczki w policzkach, więc jeśli już wstępnie się wygoją możesz uzyskać dołeczki, jeśli nie chcesz nosić długo takich kolczyków.

b) Tongue piercing, kolczyk w języku to zdecydowanie mniejszy hardkor, ze względu na to że jest dużo bardziej bezpieczny oraz to że opuchnięty język to również rzecz idnywidualna i opuchlizna uniemożliwiająca jedzenie trwa od 3-7 dni. Również jak w przypadku cheeków zero nabiału oraz palenia.

c) Wszelaki piercing w jamie ustnej, może nie smiley, ale snake bites, cyber bites, wszystko co przechodzi przez obramę środka naszej twarzy, będzie w jakiś sposób nie umożliwiać nam jedzenie, ale cóż, takie małe kolczyki raczej są najmniejszą przeszkodzą.

2. Przypalanie sobie np. języka, jest to trudny sposób, ale najczęściej wystarczy sobie po prostu go poparzyć a wtedy już mamy jakiś efekt, zjaranie go na wiór nie jest raczej dobrym pomysłem.

3. Myj ciągle zęby oraz przepłukuj buzię, w ten sposób mało co może być smaczne, chyba że jabłko albo gumy do żucia.

4. Żuj ciągle gumy, w ten sposób nie będziesz mieć ochoty na jedzenie, możliwe że nawet nie będziesz mieć ochoty podjadać non stop.

5. Wypij wodę przed i po posiłku, od razu przestanie chcieć ci się jeść.

6. Patrz na jedzenie i głupio nad nim rozmyślaj, im dłużej będziesz zostawać w pokorze i wmawiać sobie jak bardzo tego nie potrzebujesz, nie będziesz tego jeść.

7. Rozpisz sobie wszystkie niemiłe komentarze na twój temat, które usłyszałxś o swojej wadze, wywieś je nad łóżkiem, czy na innym ważnym miejscu, odechce ci się jeść jak zobaczysz ile razy cię zwyzywano.

8. Jeśli bardzo chce ci się jeść, polecam zjeść albo zrobić sobie wszelakiego rodzaju kremy, musy, smoothie, białko itd. Im więcej wypijesz tym bardziej się nasycisz a często takie rzeczy nie mają kalorii za wiele.

9. Jak wychodzisz gdzieś z przyjaciółmi koniecznie nie zabieraj dodatkowej gotówki na potencjalny posiłek, albo zabierz ze sobą jedzenie z domu. Napewno mniej będzie kusić jeśli nie będziesz mieć skąd na to wziąć.

10. Wypij chlustem czerwoną herbatę, gwarantuje, że po tym nie będzie ci się chciało jeść, ba prędzej wymiotować.

Narazie to tyle, ale post będzie co chwila edytowany, aby zrobić jeszcze więcej sposobów. Będę wdzięczny za komentarz.

Moonreach Hall

40x35 lot (12 Ashwinder Rd in Glendalough)

§104,221 | §97,965

4 bd/4 ba

I'm sharing this mostly unfurnished. Only the kitchen and bathroom fixtures are included.

This lot may use items from any/all EPs. Custom content used:

Brick patterns by Peacemaker

Wood patterns by Simlicious (pic #3, 2nd row, patterns 5 and 6)

CAStable University Life chimney by demonwolf, and chimney cap piece by armiel

Roof by Hatshepsut

Barn walls by armiel

Enchanted ivy by Murano

Wall by Gelydh (textured paint 2)

I also used Dr. Prosper's Glowing Orb from the Store. I have it installed as a package, and I believe you have to have it installed the same way for it to show up in your game.

My rambling is below the cut...

When I opened my TS3 game for the first time in years, I started a new game. It didn't hold my interest though, and I hopped around a few different worlds and many new Sims. Eventually I dug through my old save games and found my one in Eltham's Drift. That particular save game really needed to be purged, but I used Porter to preserve the direct family tree line of my ten-generation legacy family and moved them to Glendalough. Eltham's Drift is my all-time favorite world, so I figured I would love another one by the same creator (neuroticrobotic).

I've been adding the lots and rabbitholes from EPs after the world's release, including the elixir shop, arboretum, and an observatory rabbithole rug for the decorative observatory already in the world. I'm finding room for my favorite old builds from Eltham's Drift—like Fiddleford House, where my legacy family is still living—and will be replacing/renovating other houses as I play. I'd like to build proper shells for the rabbitholes at some point, but community lots aren't my strength. I also made some new households to populate the town, and I'm keeping a spooky, supernatural theme—again, like Eltham's Drift. All that is to say that I'm very, very excited to play this game again.

Moonreach Hall is for my legacy family heir who's moving out of Fiddleford House. The interior will have a lot more CC and Store content before I'm done with it, so I decided to share this one unfurnished. Hope you enjoy.

Cześć kochani tu Lily

Porozmawiamy dziś o skutkach i romantyzowaniu Any

Dlaczego taki temat?

Ostatnio dużo grup ludzi do nas dołącza. Niestety nie przez to że wyszukali nas w Internecie lub już trochę się odchudzają a przez tiktoka. Nie znając skutków myślą że jest tak kolorowo. Już na nie jednej grupie znalazłam się z przypadkami że ludzie nie byli świadomi nawet że są takie skutki uboczne co uważam za niedopuszczalne.

Skutki zniżania się wagi?

Może zacznijmy klasycznie.

1. Wypadają wam włosy. Nie mówię tu o kilku włosach na szczotce tylko wypadają wam garściami.

2. Występuje owłosienie na nogach rękach nieraz nawet twarzy. Dlaczego? Dlatego że nasz organizm chce się ocieplić zazwyczaj to tłuszcz robi za ocieplenie nas a jak go nie ma w takiej ilości organizm robi nam owłosienie jako formę ochrony

3. Macie dobry metabolizm? To po jakimś czasie nie będziecie go mieć. Metabolizm spowalnia się wraz z schudnięciem a tak właściwie głodówkami.

4. To chyba znane brak miesiączki co w przyszłości może doprowadzić że będziecie bez płodne

5. Nie macie odpowiednich witamin więc często będziecie odczuwać zmęczenie, kości zaczną was boleć i nieraz będą pojawiały się pryszcze (nie u każdego ale nieraz się to pojawia)

6. Omdlenia

Romantyzowanie?

Zacznę głodówkę to przecież takie fajne szybko schudnę.

Otóż nie, często jest jednak tak że głodówki są przerywane zaczynamy się objadać. I mimo że schudliśmy i tak przytyjemy to jest tzw efekt jojo.

Szczerze większość ludzi których poznałam tak naprawdę po czasie ma dość ale Tumblr i ana tak im weszły do umysłu że nie umieją już przestać bo znają każdą kalorie zamiast jedzenia widzą cyferki codziennie rano biegną na wagę obliczając ile schudli. A jak będzie większa liczba to zaczynamy ćwiczyć.

Dużo ludzi chce też aby schudnąć z nadwagi do normalniej. Nie w Anie. Po czasie mimo że na początku będą obrzydzały was zdjęcia kości zaczniecie je lubić nie będziecie dążyć do normalnej wagi . BA jak pojawi się normalna będziecie nad tym ubolewać bo mieliście np. Niedowagę a po czasie chcecie wygłodzenie.

Dużo nowych „motylków” uważa że 1000 kcal jest to dużo otóż to też głodówka nic wam nie da to jak będziecie głodować i później żreć z 3000 przez binge.

To samo się tyczy z zaglądaniem komuś do talerza i posty typu „moja przyjaciółka dziś zjadła całą czekoladową babeczkę i kinger kanapkę a popiła to cola nie zero! Jak tak można!” Można bo to są ZDROWI ludzie.

Mam nadzieję że osoby które trafiły tu przez tiktoka i romantyzują to przeczytają ten post i jeszcze raz się zastanowią nad wejściem do naszej społeczności ja teraz z wami się żegnam do następnego postu kochani buziaczki

[zutarasbuff]

Reasons why do I think Zuko is a walking green flag (according to what I have noticed within the show):

1. Always feels guilty after doing something that contradicts his principles.

2. Listens to his uncle despite the differences and always turns to him whenever the time calls.

3. Never ever harms the children unlike many of other fire nation soldiers and generals.

4. Lets Uncle Iroh play Pai Sho.

5. Keeps his trauma inside his heart, and even when gets provoked is extremely worried about troubling others with his inner conflicts.

6. Is a fine listener.

7. Lets Appa free and earns Appa’s trust.

8. Doesn’t feel ashamed in working at a tea shop despite being the heir to the fire nation’s throne.

9. Cares for Azula despite her wrongdoings.

10. Is ready to apologize for his faults.

11. Never forgets his duty toward Mai despite his suffering.

12. Is even ready to breakup with Mai to save her.

13. Is an extremely loyal and encouraging friend.

14. Doesn’t hesitate a bit to stand with the right, even if it means challenging his own father or sister.

15. Loves Uncle Iroh so much.

16. Never forgets his mother even after years.

17. Makes sure that the fire nation finds a new way of fuelling their bending other than anger.

18. Preserves the lineage of the dragons and honours them.

19. Hard outside, kind inside.

20. Puts himself at a risk by using fire bending to light up the fountain in Ba Sing Se in the days of wartime asylum just to make Jin happy.

21. Has a very empathetic nature and votes against fire nation waging a war on others in the council of the firelord himself.

22. Is determined to accomplish his goal whether it’s catching the avatar or saving the world.

23. Never tolerates bullying.

24. Is a fine swordsman.

25. Is hot with a hotter voice (thank you Dante Bosco for being the perfect Zuko) and a freaking cute smile.

bllk characters reacting to you having a nightmare .𖥔 ݁ ˖

w/ NAGI SEISHIRO, BACHIRA MEGURU, AND RIN ITOSHI

Tags: slight angst, hurt/comfort, TW for sleep paralysis in Rin’s and mentions of choking, fluff!

NAGI SEISHIRO ⋆˙⟡

Nagi absolutely hates the cold. Naturally his body tends to run cold though, so he clings to your warmth like his life depends on it, especially in bed. It's not uncommon for you to fall asleep with all 6 feet and 3 inches of him wrapped around you or sometimes completely on top of you. At the beginning of your relationship, it took a lot of sneaking around to be able to free yourself from underneath his weight.

This time though, you couldn't manage to sneak around.

As soon as your eyes crack open, you're immediately suffocated by Nagi's weight. It doesn't ground you though, no. Instead, you can't help but feel the most suffocated you ever have in your entire life. You feel his body pressing down on yours, crushing your heart, your lungs, and your ribs.

Without thinking straight, you practically fling Nagi off of you, desperation giving you insane strength. Nagi startles awake, his heart racing as he quickly looks around, trying to see if there's some danger. He doesn't find anything though, only you sitting upright and clutching your chest. You're gasping and sweaty, and your eyes are leaking tears. They fall onto the blankets, soaking them and darkening the fabric.

"[name]?" he asks, his voice hoarse. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

It's not common for Nagi to get worked up over things, but one thing he absolutely will never mess around with is your health and safety. From the way you're sitting, he genuinely considers having to call an ambulance. You look like you're having a heart attack.

"[name], hey," his hand hovers above your shoulder, terrified to touch you in case that sets you off even more.

Eventually you manage to calm yourself down, your desperate gasps for air slowing to normal, deep breaths. Nagi finally manages to gather enough courage to touch you. He pulls you into his side, his arms wrapping around your shoulders.

“Sei…” you whisper.

“What happened?” he asks quietly, rubbing your arms. He’s never been very good at comforting people, but he’s your boyfriend he needs to at least try here.

“I… I just had a nightmare,” you explain, slumping entirely against him. Nagi holds your weight easily, pulling you tighter against him. “And then, when I woke up, you were on top of me, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe.”

He’s silent before whispering, “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be,” you sigh, your body stopping it’s shaking entirely. You look up at him, and smile. “I was just scared.”

Nagi looks down at you, his gaze softening. He rests his chin on top of your head and whispers softly, “I… I’ll keep you safe. Try to get some more sleep.”

You kiss his cheek and cuddle up against him, your head on his chest. He kisses your head, and makes a mental note to find different cuddling positions for the future.

BACHIRA MEGURU ⋆˙⟡

It was the middle of the night when Bachira thought he heard a whimper. It roused him a little bit, and he groaned back in response, not bothering to open his eyes. After all, it could’ve just been your guys’ dog, Sato. The border collie loved sleeping at the edge of your bed after all, so it easily could’ve just been him.

However, the sound came again a few minutes later. Bachira fully woke up, looking over at where Sato normally sits, but no dog was there. He looks around a little bit, trying to find him, only to find Sato standing next to you, watching you:

He yelps and Bachira shushes him. “Hey! Let mommy sleep, come back here.”

But Sato firmly shakes his head. He barks again and Bachira beckons him with his hand. Then the whimper sounds again. Bachira looks down at you, to find you shaky and curled in on yourself. He reaches his hand out and gently shakes your shoulder. When you don’t respond, he flips you onto yourself back and his heart races.

You’re crying in your sleep.

“Hey, hey, baby,” he says, shaking your shoulder a little more roughly. Wake up, c’mon…”

Your chest rises and falls with some difficulty, and the tears still fall down your face. Bachira swears and shakes you. His voice raises in volume and he calls out, “[name]! Baby, wake up, it’s just a bad dream!”

Your eyes fling open a moment later and a tiny gasp escapes your mouth. You pant a little bit, fear still echoing in your body still in overdrive.

“Meguru,” you whisper when your vision comes into focus. You touch your face and blink a little, coming fully into consciousness. “Huh? Was I crying…?”

“I think you were having a nightmare,” he says, sitting back on his legs. He takes your hands and pulls you up into a sitting position, brushing his thumbs over the backs of your hands. “Do you wanna talk about it?”

You shake your head, “I don’t even remember it now,” you admit. “I don’t know why I was so upset.”

“Hmm yeah, I get that,” he smiles and kisses a spot on your cheek where a tear had just been. “Don’t worry, I’m here to keep you safe!”

You smile back at your boyfriend, just as Sato leaps onto the bed. He nuzzles against you and you laugh breathily, petting your dog’s coat.

“I’ll get you some water and then we can go back to sleep, yeah?” Bachira asks.

You nod and Bachira stands to go to the kitchen. By the time he comes back though, you’ve already fallen back asleep, Sato draped over your waist. Bachira chuckles and sets the water on the nightstand, before crawling back under the sheets with you, spooning you and kissing the backs of your shoulders until he falls asleep as well.

ITOSHI RIN ⋆˙⟡

When you wake up, everything’s completely normal, if not dark. The room lights are all off and the ceiling fan whirs above you. Your eyes are open, and you try to move but nothing happens. You try again, having to manually think it. Arms, move.

Nothing happens. Then it appears.

The door to your bedroom is cracked open, something you swore was impossible because you vividly remember shutting it tight before you and Rin went to sleep.

Rin. Where is he? You try to move your head again, but nothing happens. You can’t even blink, and your eyeballs are the only working part of your head. You try to call out to Rin, to do something, to help, but your lips remain glued shut.

Suddenly, something grips your ankle. Then it moves up your shin, the warmth of what feels like a hand creeping up your body. Your knee, your thigh, and then your waist. You’re crying now, and sobs want to burst through your mouth but there’s nothing.

Rin. Please. Help.

The hand presses down on your chest and moves up to your neck. It feels like your choking, and you feel like you can feel the creature’s breath on your neck. Finally, your paralysis breaks. You shoot up in bed with a blood curdling scream.

You clutch at you neck and sob, the sounds finally flying free out of you in a waterfall of horror.

“[name]! [name]!” Rin is up at your side, shouting, grabbing your shoulders. He’s squeezing you and gently shaking you, trying to coax you back to reality. “[name]! Look at me! What happened?! What’s wrong?! Hey!”

He grips your wrist and pries them from your neck. You dry heave a little before gulping down air. Eventually, you fall against Rin, who’s paralyzed in shock. He hesitates, before wrapping his arms around your shoulders, squeezing you.

“Rin,” you brokenly whisper. “I couldn’t move. Something was in here, it got me.”

“Nothing was in here,” he whispers.

“Yes there was it was crawling on the bed!”

“I would’ve felt it, [name]-”

“It was on top of me!”

“[name]!” Rin pulls back, staring you deep in your eyes. “I wouldn’t let something get . . . get on top of you. It was just a sleep paralysis thing, nothing was in here, I promise.”

He cups your cheek and takes deep breaths with you. He rests his forehead against yours and kisses your nose. “It’s okay. I’m here.”

“I’m scared,” you whimper and his heart shatters.

“D-don’t be,” he says, “I’m here. I . . . I won’t let anything happen to you.”

The two of you are silent, before you whisper, “Can you hold onto me, while we sleep?”

Rin nods and lays back down with you safely curled in his arms. He doesn’t know if he believes in demons or spirits or whatnot, but he if there was something in here, he has to keep you safe no matter what. He’ll never let you get hurt or scared like that again.

[fairytaleendingss]

Hello! I’m loving Room For One More, and you said you were taking requests?

This is kind of a general one, but could you do another chapter focusing on Remus’ chronic illness?

I struggle with severe chronic pain and chronic illness in general and haven’t had a relationship in 5 years bc of it (it’s hard to meet people and a lot of people see it as a burden, unfortunately) so seeing cute fluffy things with chronic illness representation gives me hope for the future 😅

Thanks for the consideration :))

- ✨💚

Room for One More?

Chapter 13

Summary: You and Remus have some time to bond.

CW: Depiction of chronic illness, alcohol consumption.

Pairing: Poly!Marauders x fem!reader

Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8, Chapter 9, Chapter 10, Chapter 11, Chapter 12

So I received this request a few months back and I feel really guilty that I haven't gotten to it sooner. I know how important representation is and I wanted to make sure I gave it a the proper time and thought it deserves. I also I wanted to include it somewhere that made sense to the plot of the story and I hadn't found a good spot previously.

I feel like I could've done better during this series in general with including Remus' illness and I'm going to try harder to make more reference to it in the remaining chapters. I feel that my representation of RA throughout this story hasn't been present enough since it was introduced and I'd like to try to capture a more accurate depiction of it going forward.

One again, I want to disclose that I myself do not suffer from any chronic illnesses, so I apologise for any inaccuracies that may be in here.

I hope this is what you were looking for, anon and sorry again that it took so long. Enjoy the chapter.

Mary was staring. Leaning up against the kitchen counter in her brand new apartment. It was her housewarming party. She and Lily had just moved in to a new place together and decided to throw a celebration. All of their friends were there, crowded around, drinking wine and listening to an eclectic shared Spotify playlist.

However, there was something not quite right about the picture she was looking at. She was watching from across the room as you and James danced together, laughing goofily as you pretended to know what you were doing. Beside you on the couch sat Remus and Sirius, snuggled up together, laughing at the display.

She narrowed her eyes as she watched. She was happy for you all, of course she was. She loved how happy you'd recently seemed, however, she couldn't shake the nagging feeling that there was something... off about the new sets of couples that had recently emerged in the apartment.

"Is everything okay, love?"

"Huh?" she was snapped from her thoughts as Lily came to stand beside her, rubbing a gentle hand down her girlfriend's arm.

Lily chuckled. "I wanted to know if everything's okay. You look like you just bit down on a lemon."

Mary raised her brows. "Do you think something weird's going on with them?"

Lily glanced across the room. "No? I think they look happy."

"Hmm, maybe," Mary responded, unconvinced. "I just feel like there's something we're missing."

Lily just smirked, taking Mary's glass of White Wine from her hand. "I think you've had a few too many glasses of this tonight."

Mary rolled her eyes affectionately. "Nonsense. I don't know what you're talking about."

Lily leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her girlfriend's waiting lips.

---

The energy in the room was high as Mary's playlist gave soundtrack to the evening. You and James were dancing around the room, utterly embarrassing yourselves while Sirius and Remus sat curled up together, Sirius throwing his head back and groaning dramatically every time a Taylor Swift song came on.

"Come on, Sirius. You aren't fooling anyone!" James exclaimed towards his friend as he twirled you playfully. "I know you listen to 1989 while you work out."

"I do not," he grumbled, folding his arms across his chest. "Back me up here?"

He looked up at the man his lap was played across, however, Remus only shrugged. "Sorry love, you hum in your sleep."

Sirius sighed thickly. "You all are the worst. How am I supposed to maintain my rockstar image with accusations like these!"

"I say own it," you chimed in.

"Come on, mate! You know you want to dance!" James exclaimed, doing that stupid lasso throwing move towards him, causing you to let out a loud groan at his silliness.

"I do not," Sirius huffed petulantly.

"Yes you do!"

Sirius paused for a moment, weighing his options before rolling his eyes and begrudgingly standing.

James cheered as Sirius began to join in, moving goofily around to the music. You couldn't help but chuckle as you watched the two dance together. They were always a chaotic duo.

You looked over at Remus who was watching on affectionately.

"You want to join us?" You asked, extending a hand to the man.

He chuckled but shook his head. "I'm alright here, thank you."

"Oh come on, Rem," Sirius exclaimed. "It'll be fun!"

"I'm alright," he stated once more.

"Are you sure?" you asked.

"Uh, yes," he muttered bashfully. "Truth be told, I'm not feeling the best this evening."

"Rem! Why didn't you say anything," James all but shouted, moving to take a closer examination of his friend.

"It's nothing, really. Just my usual symptoms," he tried to brush off but you could see the crease of pain between his brows.

"Well, this won't do," Sirius muttered. "Come on, I'll take you home."

Sirius moved to find the car keys but Remus stopped him with a tug of his wrist.

"Sirius wait. I'm fine, I promise. You were really looking forward to tonight. Besides, I'm designated driver, remember?"

"Oh. Yeah," Sirius hummed, deflating slightly.

"That's okay. I can take you. I've only had one drink," you intervened.

"A-are you sure?" Remus inquired, looking at you guiltily. "I don't want to pull you away from the party."

You smiled at him. "It's okay. There'll surely be others."

"Well thank you. I really appreciate that," he responded sincerely.

"It's no problem, Remus. Let's get going."

--

Up close, it became all too apparent that Remus really wasn't feeling well. His eyes were shut and he was resting his head against the passenger window the entire way home, his face pinched in pain.

You couldn't help but cringe in sympathy. You wanted to say something but you weren't sure what would be helpful right now, if anything at all. So instead, you drove in silence. You said an internal thank you to whatever higher power encouraged Mary and Lily to move only 20 minutes from where you lived.

Remus sat up slowly, blinking heavily as you pulled into the garage of your building. You looked over at him, biting the inside of your cheek.

"The stairs are going to be a pain," you muttered sympathetically.

Remus sighed deeply and ran a hand down his face. "'Just have to get it over with I suppose."

You exited the car before making your way around to the passenger side to assist Remus. Where he normally would have seemed uncomfortable with this kind of doting, today he just felt grateful.

His joints were so stiff that he could barely make it up the stairs at all but with your support and a lot of effort you managed to get to the front door.

Walking into the apartment, you deposited him on the couch. He groaned and lifted his heavy legs up so they were stretched out in front of him. You sighed deeply as you watched.

"Can I get you anything?" You asked gently. You couldn't help the pang of worry that was congealing in your stomach as you watched him. He was looking extremely pale and there were drops of sweat beading across his forehead, an indicator of the pain he was experiencing.

"My wheat bag would be nice if it's not too much trouble," he muttered stiffly.

"No of course not!" you were quick to respond. "I'll be right back."

You couldn't help but watch him over the kitchen bench as the bag went around in the microwave. You bit your lip nervously. You weren't quite sure what to do to make him feel better. In the time you'd lived with the boys, you'd seen him go through a few flare ups here and there but nothing nearly as bad as this one, and you'd never been here with him on your own either. You'd always had one of the other boys to help out.

You thought for a moment about calling James or Sirius for help but you quickly dismissed that idea. You were being silly. You and Remus had on good terms as of late, you would even go so far as to call him a friend. And he'd taken such good care of you when you'd been unwell all those weeks back, the least you could do was repay the favour.

You straightened up as the microwave began to beep and hurried to deliver the bag to Remus.

He looked up slowly through tired eyes when you returned, smiling appreciatively.

"Where do you want this?"

"My right knee," he muttered and began to carefully lift up his pant leg.

Your eyes widened as he revealed the red, swollen joint.

"Remus! This looks awful!"

You gently placed the wheat bag on the appendage and he let out a gentle sigh of relief.

"Thank you. It's really not that bad."

You gave him a look that told him you could tell he was lying.

"You don't have to pretend to be okay, you know? I'm here to help. I want to know what's really going on."

He let out a breath and ran a shaky hand down his face. You watched as his front receded ever so slightly. In all honesty, he was too tired to put it on anymore.

"Do you mind grabbing the pills from beside my bed?"

You smiled at him gently. "Of course."

--

You spent the next while doting on Remus. You got him everything he needed, completed his usual chores around the house and even ordered food from his favourite Chinese place for dinner.

All the while, Remus thanked you profusely and you could see the guilt that lingered behind his eyes, despite your continuous reassurance that you were happy to help.

It was about 11pm when you found yourself sitting in the arm chair beside the couch where Remus was situated, watching Netflix together. Every now and then your gaze would flicker towards him, eyes flitting over his features in an attempt to assess how he was feeling. You couldn't help but take notice the way his lips pursed in concentration as his gaze stayed glued to the TV, or the way his hair, in need of a cut, was slightly disheveled and began to curl around the base of his neck. There was something endearing about him, you observed. He was handsome in a sort of tender and understated way. Where James was strong and buff and had a boyish charm, and Sirius' look was bold and unique, Remus' attractiveness was more subtle. He had gentle features and dark, kind eyes that you couldn't help but become lost in. There was something so intriguing and mysterious about him that made you curious to learn more, even during the times where you hadn't been friendly. He was unlike anyone you'd known before.

"You can stop worrying, you know?" He drawled lowly, not turning his gaze away from the TV.

You sat back in your seat, being broken from your thoughts. "I'm not."

"Yes you are. I can feel you looking at me."

"Oh well, excuse me for being concerned about you."

He sighed thickly. "I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Remus," your voice was small as you replied. There was so much on your mind, especially when it came to him. So much about him you didn't understand.

You bit your lip as you turned back to the TV, watching the colours flicker and flash through the screen, casting light in the otherwise dark room.

After a moment you heard a shuffling begin beside you. Your eyes widened as you turned to look at Remus, who was attempting to swing his legs over the side of the sofa.

"Remus, what on earth are you doing? You're in no position to be walking around right now."

"I'm not! I promise. I was just trying to make some room."

"Oh." Your brows furrowed as he scooted over on the couch. You weren't quite sure what he was trying to do until he patted the spot beside him, glancing up at you with hopeful eyes.

"Will you sit?"

It seemed a peace offering of sorts.

Hesitantly, you got up from your chair and moved to sit beside Remus. Once he was sure you were comfortable, he carefully placed the blanket he was previously using over both your laps.

You looked at him skeptically, unable to gather what was going on in his head. Remus was just like that. Completely unreadable. An enigma.

He cleared his throat nervously. "I'm sorry if I've been a little short with you."

"Remus, it's okay," you responded sincerely. "You're in pain. It isn't your fault."

He sighed. "I don't just mean today."

He turned to look at you, guilt clouding his chocolate eyes.

"I've behaved poorly towards you ever since you moved in. I know it's no excuse but if I'm being honest, I was scared," he didn't know entirely why he felt the need to say it. Maybe it was the medicine or the pain or a combination of both but you'd been so undeservingly kind to him this evening. And all these feeling had been swirling around inside of him for so long, they were ready to burst out of him.

"Things weren't easy for me growing up with... all this." he gestured absently to his leg that was now propped up on the coffee table. "People weren't always understanding about it. Especially when I was younger. It took me a long time to find a place where I felt accepted and not like I was an outcast or a burden. I suppose that means I don't take too kindly to change."

He scratched the back of his neck, feeling his walls slowly but surely begin to lower, as you watched him sympathetically.

"But that was no reason for me to be cruel to you when you've been nothing but kind in return. So for that I'm sorry."

You smiled gently. "Remus, that's okay. I understand."

You shuffled closer to him. "And I'll have you know that no one thinks of you as a burden. You have amazing friends who care about you so much. And as scary as it is to be vulnerable around new people, I promise I would never judge you. I'm always happy to help whenever you need me."

He let out a breath of relief, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He smiled at you kindly, appreciation pooling in his eyes.

"You're wonderful. You know that?"

His words sunk in to your skin and you felt heat rise to your cheeks, suddenly exposed under his gaze. Your eyes fell to your lap as a nervous chuckle escaped you.

Remus reached up, brushing a stray strand of hair behind your ear. The gesture was unbearably tender. You looked back up at him. His eyes flickered with vulnerability as a heavy tension settled between you, completely unlike the kind that has encompassed you before. Your heart began to race.

It was at that moment, the door burst open and James and Sirius stumbled into the flat.

"Honey, I'm homeeee!" you heard James call out, followed by a excessive amount of snickering from Sirius.

You pulled away from Remus suddenly, scooting back on the couch as if you'd been burned.

"You two are back early," you remarked in surprise.

"We just missed you guys too much!" James exclaimed as he came around the back of the couch and pressed a sloppy kiss to your cheek. His breath smelt like wine.

"How are you feeling, my love? Did Y/n take good care of you?" Sirius cooed, coming to sit beside Remus on the arm of the sofa and running a hand through the mans hair.

"She did a lovely job. I might have her replace you next time."

You chuckled and watched as Sirius pressed a hand to his chest and gasped dramatically in mock offence.

"I can't believe this! My own lover is replacing me. How ever will I go on?"

You giggled once more as Remus rolled his eyes fondly.

"On that note, I think it's time for bed, love." Remus turned his attention to you. "Thank you again for all your help tonight."

You smiled gently. "Don't mention it."

--

As you laid in bed with James' arms curled around you, sleep refused to come.

There was a heavy lump of guilt in your stomach and you didn't fully understand why. It wasn't like you'd done anything wrong. Nothing had even happened. You and Remus had just been talking, that's all. However, the feeling hung over you like a raincloud over your head.

You rolled over to face the boy beside you. The sweet boy who you truly cared for so deeply and you snuggled into his chest.

You shut your eyes tightly, trying to rid your mind of the thought. But as you began to drift off, it was Remus' eyes you saw.

You wondered as you fell asleep, if it was possible to have feelings for more than one person at the same time.
