Drink in hand, grin on their face, Lucian spotted Bea from across the dancefloor and was quick to approach —- doing their best not to knock anyone out with their wings. “Of all the places...” they commented lightly, laughter lacing their words. “Getting into much trouble yet?” A serious question really, they couldn’t exactly go the night without causing a little mischief in their collective guises.

Summary:

The Monkey King was imprisoned under a mountain 500 years ago by his enemies in Heaven. Five hundred years later, the Earthly realm is overrun, and its humans oppressed, by demons. The gods and immortals are in hiding or oppressed by demons as well. A scholar secretly concocts a plan to bring together a few warriors and a monk, named Tripitaka, to undertake a quest to resurrect the Monkey King and find the Heavenly scrolls that were stolen by Monkey 500 years ago and hidden away secretly on earth. Anyone who finds the scrolls would gain unlimited power. However, the night the group is about to start on their quest, a demon attacks the scholar's home and kills everyone inside except for the scholar's adopted daughter, taking the golden crown necessary to revive the Monkey King. In his last moments, the scholar entrusts his daughter with the quest. She takes on the identity of Tripitaka and ventures out into the world, narrowly escaping death herself.

In a town she gives charity to a monk and ends up forced to work for a tavern owner, thus gaining a job and a room to sleep in. When the same demon that killed her adoptive father shows up, she secretly steals the magical crown and makes a run for it. When demons begin searching the town for her and the magic crown, she is disguised as a monk by the same monk she helped and successfully makes her way out of the city. In an opening along the side of a mountain, she finds the stony visage of the Monkey King's face, and puts the crown on his head. Finally, the Monkey King is free but he soon discovers that the crown is repressing most of his godly abilities. The pair return to the town and join up with Pigsy and Sandy, who are also gods, and the four of them begin their quest of finding the lost scrolls and gaining enough power to overthrow all the demons.

Weekend Update 01/21/2024

Hey Nerdie! How has your week been?

I’ve been good. It snowed, twice. Snow is for Hallmark movies. I hate cleaning my car off and digging out. Very much hate driving in it, felt like a stunt driver. 🤣

Wow…That’s a lot. Um, thanks for sharing?

I know, you didn’t ask all that. I overshare. It’s my jam. In addition to odd humor, innuendos and food jokes. Many food jokes. 😎

That is very on brand for you. The pickle is gone. We’re thankful. 🥹 What did you read this week?

I've been trying to work through different lists I have but I get them confused - most of the time. 😵‍💫 A quick list:

Locked out of Heaven by @fhatbhabie (Dieter Bravo)

A Baker's Dozen - Nine by @avastrasposts (Pero Tovar)

His Little Hawk by @iamskyereads (Pero Tovar)

I read a lot but I feel like I'm missing some. 🤨

What did you put out this week?

...You heard that right?

We did, we regretted it as soon as we said it. Just answer the question.

I have no idea if I post a lot or a little. Maybe too much? I have no clue. Some of what I did was organization and grouping.

Drops of Sugar Masterlist (Joel Miller)

The Mercenary and his Witch (Pero Tovar - part of PMAMC 2024)

Watch me and Touch it Quierda (Santiago Garcia)

Filthy Hooligans (Lucian Flores)

Don't know what you mean (Tim Rockford)

Geez Nerdie, do you do anything besides work and fanfiction?

It's a way of life. Not for the weak. I also don't have a lot going on so I need to keep occupied somehow. 🤓

I also am trying out some temporary tattoos to see if like the placement. I would like to get a tattoo this year. 🥳

Anything else Nerdie? You always have lots of things planned.

Nothing for now. I have to finish some other WIPs I've been working on. Slowly but there has been progress.

Until next time!

Stay warm, stay safe, hydrate!

Love Nerdie 💕

ORIGIN

Blue stared at the clock it was 5:29 pm “One more ma minute left” he said in his head he was always ready to leave his miserable job as a medical student well technically it wasn't a job but it surely felt like it, it felt miserable to be sitting in a classroom for 2 hours straight waiting for every minute to get closer to the leaving time, Jackson was ready to go back to his dorm but even after school he had no rest he had to study for the exam the next day, he didn't want this miserable life he always wanted to be a writer he was great at it too but he's parents didn't think being a writer was such a good profession well his parents were doctors very well know they were successful in every way possible and he ofc had to follow behind their steps, he then heard the bell rang Jack got his stuff and left the classroom but before he went to his dorm he stopped by a class there was his girlfriend Lucinda who smiled at him greatly “Hi a be! Give me a second let me finish up” he chuckled as he walked to her and helped her put her stuff in her bag, Jack and luci were childhood friends they grew up together and then during highschool started dating they were a very happy couple, Jack loved luci since she was the only one who took her stress away and made him smile she was beautiful and true to him which made him love her even more, Soon Jack and Lucian left the class she held to he's arm as her head rested on his shoulder with a smile on her face she asked “how are he med classes?” he sighed in frustration, “Awful..” he said in an annoyed tone, “are they that bad? Must suck” she then kissed his cheek which made him smile “how are writing classes?” Jack couldn't lie he felt jealous of his girlfriend she was able to do whatever she wanted with her parents' full approval and love she got to do what he loved the most while he was stuck doing stupid medical tests and having to make his parents happy who wouldn't settle for anything less than perfection, “Jack? Baby, are you ok?” luci asked with a worried face and tone snapping Jack from his trance of jealousy “Huh? Oh yes, right” he smiled “Well where here…” she looked down with a sad face, “I'll see you tomorrow” he kissed her lips and left disappearing into the darkness of the college campus, luci felt guilty she felt terrible she has been cheating on Jackson for the past year with her roommate but jack was too blinded by love to notice it, she sighed and told herself that everything was fine and that he wouldn't find out.

A few months passed and it was still the same Jack and luci spent time during the day and during the night she would sleep with her roommate Jeffery and still Jack wouldn't know anything she wasn't planning to tell him he'll he didn't even know that luci had a male roommate she had told him that she and her best friend got the same dorm. Today was different though Jackson was in a bitter mood and didn't even bother to wait for luci at the dining area he just went straight to class luci and Jack had the same first period since it was English, and luci sat next to him “hey babe” she hugged him she waited for him to hug her back but that never came “can you let go please?” he asked coldly she was shocked and soon let go of him “sorry…” he looked at her from the corner of his eye he looked disgusted by her and she was confused but then she remembered what she did what if he found out she started to get nervous “why are you nervous?” he asked his hair covering his sleep deprived face that was full of jealousy and anger, “I'm n-not” a sweat drop ran down her face. The first two periods went by fast and it was time for lunch Jeffery was talking bad about Jackson again but this time before luci could comfort Jack he stood up “Where are you going?” no reply Isy had been like that the whole day, and that's when Jack walked up to Jeffery and punched him in the face he then grabbed him by the collar shoved him on the ground, and started beating him, jacks ears were ringing he didn't stop his knuckles where bleeding all he had in his mind was to beat the fuck out of the bitch who decided to fuck his girl that's when he then pulled away after a few minutes the guy tried to scream but his face was so broken and in pain that he couldn't even open his eyes, Jack ran away from the school going to the woods there he sat down and started to write on his notebook it was the death of his girlfriend and her new lover.

*FLASHBACK*

When Jack left for his side of the campus he saw Jeffery walking the way he came and they bumped into each other Jack was angered by this but also confused “What are you doing here Jeffery” he asked irritated, “I live on this side of campus you fuck” Jackson was surprised by this because Daisy said that he lived on the other side of campus where Jackson did “well Luci said you live on my side, and know that I think about it I've never seen u even near that side campus.” Jeffery laughed and Jackson looked at him confused, “It seems like she hasn't told you yet? Well let me tell you she's been having sex with me for the past year, she doesn't love you” Jeffery smirked, and Jack just stared at the ground in shock he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as anger and jealousy built inside him he turned and walked away this anger could be felt it even scared Jeffery who quickly left before anything could happen, Jackson's blue eyes turned black and red on the outside “they are going to pay…” he said under he's breath as tears streamed down his face. Jackson prepared everything for the next day his notebook, an ink pen with an empty glass ink cup, and his personal “DEATH” stamp, which he also added gloves and a face mask to the bag and placed on his desk ready for the next morning with a special outfit.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Jackson had fallen asleep but he soon woke up he had finished his two new stories he walked out of the forest and placed on his gloves and masks his eyes turning black and red on the outside he had a look of insanity on his face but he wasn't smiling he was frowning he had no energy to smile at the moment, Jack knew that luci and Jeff would be since he stalked them during the school day, Jack walked to Luci's parent's house he unlocked the door with a copy of a key that he had made without her knowing he then silently walked up the stairs he could hear them this made him even angrier but he stayed calm since he had to stick to his story he then opened the door to them both in bed Jackson turned off the light and heard them scream he then grabbed Jeffery by the arm luci screamed: “Jeffery where are you!?” Jeffery couldn't scream because his mouth was held shut soon the sound of a knife and the sound of flesh ripping was heard and then a scream then there was a thud Jackson plunged a knife into Jeffery's chest, then Jack grabbed Lucinda by the neck and plunged the knife into her heart mixing her blood with Jefferys and placing it in his empty ink cup and sat on her desk he wrote over his story with blood and then put the stamp in the blood and stamped the letter he then positioned them in a lovers way and then placed the page on their hands above them on the wall it said “THE WRITER” in the victim's blood. Soon Jackson left running into the woods with no evidence of him being left behind.

B-1B bombers perform joint training with Singapore and Japan in the Indo-Pacific

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 01/22/2024 - 9:00 p.m. in Military

Two U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancers bombers were moved to the Indo-Pacific region where they carried out joint exercises with the Air Force of the Republic of Singapore (RSAF) and the Air Self-Defense Force of Japan (JASDF).

The two B-1B Lancers assigned to the 345º Expeditionary Bomber Squadron of Dyesss Air Base, Texas, arrived at Paya Lebar Air Base, Singapore, on January 18, as part of regular training of the United States Air Force and commitments to key partners in the region.

Posts from the singapore

community on Reddit

The bombers will perform air refueling training with RSAF's Airbus A330 MRTT planes.

B-1B Lancer bomber lands at Paya Lebar Air Base in Singapore.

Integration with RSAF provides valuable professional exchanges and training opportunities with different aircraft and crews.

In a statement, PACAF emphasized the importance of integration with RSAF, mentioning the valuable professional exchanges and training opportunities with different aircraft and crews.

Although PACAF did not label the bomber deployment as a Bomber Task Force, the B-1 also participated in separate training with four JASDF F-15 Eagles over the Sea of Japan on January 18.

Photos released on PACAF social networks showed supersonic bombers flying next to Japanese F-15 fighters. The purpose of these exercises is to improve the deterrence and response capabilities, as well as the tactical skills of the US-Japan alliance, as declared by PACAF.

The PACAF spokesman added that they continue to conduct bomber missions in the Indo-Pacific region, demonstrating the effectiveness of the forces to ensure security in various environments. These training opportunities, according to him, support the national security objectives through the speed, flexibility and readiness of strategic bombers.

At the same time, U.S. Air Force F-35 fighters conducted joint training with several aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on January 17 and 19 over the waters of the southern region of the island of Okinawa, Japan.

The two-day exercise involved 27 F-15 jets, one E-767, two E-2C Hawkeyes and two KC-46A Pegasus tanker planes from Japan, along with approximately 10 American F-35s poachers. JASDF announced that the training aimed to improve bilateral response capabilities and tactical skills.

The PACAF spokesman reiterated his commitment to carry out various missions, such as bombers, cargo, refueling and hunting in the Indo-Pacific region, highlighting the effectiveness of the forces in providing security in a varied and uncertain environment.

UNTITLED BARRY-CENTRIC FIC #01

[idk what to title this so please pretend this is a relevant title]

*

Volkner’s eyes widen for a fraction of a second when he first meets Barry. He quickly schools his face back to its usual bored, ‘this-is-beneath-me’ look, and Dawn almost believes that she’d imagined it.

And then Volkner calls.

(“Your friend; the blond one. How…” a deep breath. “… how is he?”)

***

Cynthia, champion of the Sinnoh Pokémon League and current champion of the Pokemon World Tournament, is incredibly doting.

There are, however, differences between how she dotes on Barry and everyone else, small as they are. The sweets. Ruffling his hair.

(“— and it’s almost like… almost like aunt Ethan,” Dawn tells her mum over the phone. Lucas’s battle against Lucian is over and Barry is just about to start against Bertha. Her mother stays silent so long that Dawn is sure the call ended at some point without her realising it. And then she sighs.

“How is Pip?”)

***

Volkner looks mortified that Cynthia decides to pull up a chair next to him. She orders them both drinks; something she hadn’t done while she’d been with Maylene, or Aaron, or — and then she ruffles his hair.

It’s surprises Dawn that Volkner doesn’t snap at Cynthia when she gives him a parting hug.

***

“Flinton!”

There’s smile on Flint’s face goes stiff. He’d been giving Barry and Dawn a tour of the Sinnoh Battle Frontier. They turn to see a blond man in a long green coat running up to them. Dawn is absolutely sure Flint will get knocked over, but the man — the Battle Tower’s Tycoon, she realises — comes to a stop right before him.

“Mr Palmer,” Flint says, bracing himself as Palmer gives him what looks like an extremely painful hug.

Palmer laughs. “How many times do I have to tell you to drop the ‘mister’, huh?” A mischievous glint appears in his eyes. “Unless… you finally ready to be my in-law?” Palmer wiggles his eyebrows and Flint looks like he wants the earth to swallow him up.

And that — wow.

Palmer finally turns his attention away from Flint. He grins and scratches the back of his head. He looks surprised, though only a little bit. “Barrington! Didn’t see you there.”

Barry’s smile is painfully awkward. “Hey dad.”

***

Volkner and Flint are whispering to each other in a corner of the room. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Volkner’s agitated gestures have to do with Palmer, who’s having a stilted attempt at normal conversation with Paula and seems oblivious to the fact that Barry and Jan look like they’d rather be anywhere but Palmer’s table.

The tightness around Paula’s eyes and Volkner’s agitation lessen when Cynthia finally arrives. Barry and Jan look relieved as they go to her, assuring her that she isn’t late at all. Cynthia gives them each a hug; Barry, Jan, Paula, Volkner and even Flint.

Everyone pretends not to notice the way Cynthia hesitates briefly before giving Palmer a hug, wooden and slightly shorter than the others.

And when everyone begins to converse again, and Lucas and Buck look in Dawn’s direction, all she can do is shrug.

*

[Notes:

I was just asking myself a lot of questions about Palmer, something along the lines of ‘gamefreak wouldn’t place four blond characters who look almost similar in the same region without good reason, right? Right???’ This feels less like a story and more like an answer to my own question that just happens to be a narrative. Whatever.

And then my brain ran away with the idea. Don’t get me wrong, I love Palmer, but whatever you’re thinking about Palmer’s character by the end of this is likely what I wanted you to think.

For clarity: Paula is Barry and Jan’s mother, Cynthia is Palmer’s sister, and Jan is indeed short for Janington.

I might post this on AO3. Who knows (not me). Whatever the case, I hope you had fun reading it.]

Today we also celebrate the Glorious Apostle Ananias of the Seventy. Saint Ananias was the first Bishop of Damascus. The Lord ordered him to restore the sight of Saul, the former persecutor of Christians, then baptize him (Acts 9:10-19, 22:12). Saul became the great preacher and Apostle Paul. Saint Ananias boldly and openly confessed Christianity before the Jews and the pagans, despite the danger. From Damascus he went to preach at Eleutheropolis, where he healed many of their infirmities. Lucian, the prefect of the city, tried to persuade the holy one to offer sacrifice to idols. Because of Ananias’ staunch and solid confession of Christ, Lucian ordered that he be tortured. Harsh torments did not sway the witness of Truth. Then the torturers led him out beyond the city, where they stoned him. The saint prayed for those who put him to death. His relics were later transferred to Constantinople. May he intercede for us always + Source: https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2020/10/01/102825-apostle-ananias-of-the-seventy (at Damascus, Syria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJLYXBrjGp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lucian’s Birthday

████████████████████

June 30th, xxxx.

1:01 pm.

The scent of birthday cake blew through the air, swaying the balloons that hung delicately over a large white table full of party hats and confetti. In a meadow of flowers, right outside their house, held a party of only three. Despite having so many empty seats for the ones who were meant to show up, that did not change the tone for the little boy’s second birthday. The smiles of his parents was all he needed to be in a state of bliss.

“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, dear Lucian, Happy Birthday to you…”

Then, as quickly as the flames were lit, they were blown away by the small toddler sitting in his mother’s lap. He clapped as the adults cheered for him, not understanding why they were so happy.

“Felix, honey, should we wait for my parents before opening the presents?” Michelle asks, rubbing the birthday boy’s soft head as he attempts to touch the colorful icing.

“Yeah, we’ll wait. We can just do the one from me so that he doesn’t get bored when we wait.” His father answers before he bends down to look his little son in the eyes. “Lucian, you’re turning two years old! See? That much!” Felix held his two fingers up, smiling as Lucian grabbed onto them. However, the smile soon went to a smirk once he realized his son had icing caked onto his hands already. “Lulu-belle…did you take some of the pretty icing?” He asks, grabbing a napkin for his son.

The toddler giggles in response.

“Oh, look who’s a bad boy! You did!” Michelle points at the cake’s icing, which had tiny finger prints in it from the birthday boy. “You know better than that, Lucian.”

Hearing his mother’s disappointed voice, Lucian shamefully looks at the ground with a frown. Before he could get too down though, his father scoops him up and twirls him around, cheering him back up instantly. “Before we eat the cake, let’s open your present first! That way, you won’t get icing all over your gift!”

Michelle scoffed. “Giving him everything he wants now? Come on, he should get punished a little-!”

“It’s his birthday, honey.” Felix reminds his wife with a gentle smile, causing her heart to melt almost instantly. “Let him have a little fun, okay?”

Lucian was then sat on the ground surrounded by flowers and grass by his father in order to open his present. The strands of grass from beneath him tickled his arms and legs, causing him to laugh and wriggle around in enjoyment. As he grew distracted, his parents sat down in front of him and set the colorful box in the meadow as well. Lucian’s eyes focus back onto his parents almost instantly afterward. He crawls a short distance before reaching the gift, touching it with both hands and waiting for his father’s approval to open it.

“Go ahead,” Felix warmly coaxed the child. “What’s in there?”

Lucian moved his white hair out of his face with a giggle. He then pulled the lid off of the box, revealing the present inside - A mint green bunny plush with lilac paws and ears, and a small bow tied around its neck.

“What is it?” Michelle asks the boy, clearly knowing what it is.

Lucian looks up toward his mother with joyous eyes. “…bunny…”

“Yes! It’s a bunny, Lucian! Good job!” She gushes.

The two-year-old lifts the toy up from the box by its soft ears, blinking in awe before hugging it. “Bunny! Bunny!” His little voice rang out.

Felix pulls the small tag clipped to the toy’s ear, showing the boy a single name plastered in fine print. “Her name is Ester,” his father spoke as Lucian hugged his gift tighter in his arms. “Ester. That’s a pretty name, isn’t it, Lulu-belle?”

“Ester…” Lucian repeats quietly. He then nods with a tint of blush to his cheeks, cradling her like a baby in his arms. Felix proudly watches as his son treats the plush with care, knowing that she would be fragile, like a bunny.

“Are you happy, Lucian?” Michelle asks her son, leaning her head against Felix’s arm to gain her balance as she sits. He responds with his arm around her waist, resting his head on top of hers.

The toddler doesn’t answer, biting down on the toy’s ear without hesitation. Felix groaned, quickly grabbing the child and pulling him toward the two of them.

“No, Lucian. Don’t put her in your mouth, that’s not nice.” He corrects the child, pulling the toy out of his mouth. Lucian merely pouts a little and yearns to be in his father’s arms, giving him grabby hands with a frown. Felix sighs and scoops the boy into his lap, resting Ester back onto the toddler’s chest. “There. Much better.”

“Wow, honey! Lucian is getting so big he can hardly fit in your lap anymore!” Michelle exclaims, teasing the birthday boy into pouting more.

Felix sees through her antics, rolling his eyes with a playful smile. “No, no, he’s just the right size. Lulu will always fit in papa’s lap no matter how old he gets!”

“But he’s sooo old!”

“Nuh-uh!” Lucian whines. The adults laugh at the worried expression on his face. However, Lucian didn’t find it very funny. He clung to his father like a monkey to a tree, making sure he would never let go unless absolutely necessary.

Michelle watches as Felix gently rubs their son’s back to soothe him, in awe from how much he really did care for him. She loved them both too, of course, but she felt that she could never match the love that her husband shares with Lucian. That stung a little in her heart, but made her incredibly happy that her son would be able to experience a healthy relationship with his parents.

That being said, she rests her hand on Lucian’s head and lovingly brushes her fingers through his hair, grabbing the attention from the boy. She merely smiled once they made eye contact, continuing to show him affection. “Happy birthday, Lucian. Momma and papa love you very much.”

“Very much!” Felix repeats, kissing Michelle’s head. “We’ll always love you, sweetheart…”

Lucian gazed up at his parent’s adoring faces, slowly gaining a smile on his round face. He loved them too, more than words could express.

June 30th, xxxx.

8:45 am.

Lucian wakes up to the sound of morning birds singing outside his window and the light shining in from the blinds. Usually he would have been up before this time, but today he felt especially lazy. He groans softly and rolls over to the other side of his bed, covering his face with the pillow to block out his senses - this doesn’t last long. As soon as he realized he wasn’t going back to sleep, Lucian springs up with the brightest smile on his face and a sing-song voice. “Good morningggg!”

He hops out of bed and throws on his bunny slippers, skipping to his closet to put on his clothes for the day. Typical Lucian clothes include his red sweater, whichever pants he could find, and his hair clips to see better. However, once he opened the doors to his closet, he did not find exactly what he was looking for.

“RAAAAAAAAHHHHH!”

“EEEEEEKKKKK!” Lucian screeches as he’s grabbed by something from inside. He closes his eyes tightly, not wanting to see the monster in front of him, until a familiar voice chirps out.

“Y-You’re supposed to say ‘happy birthday!’”

The boy peeks out one eye to see the one holding him hostage was none other than Thomas with a birthday hat. He blinked in confusion until he saw Sam from behind him, still remaining in the closet. Then, it all clicked. They were surprising him for his birthday!

“Yeah, yeah, it’s more fun this way, pip-squeak.” The sixteen year old chuckled, elbowing Sam in the gut.

“You guys remembered my birthday…!” Lucian gushed, his eyes full of glitter. He was so excited that he had totally dismissed the fact that Sam and Thomas were on the verge of fighting, spinning around on his heel. “Hahaha, thank you! I bet today will be great!”

“Not if we still have Mr. Party Pooper.” Thomas scoffs, nooging Sam who was stomping on his foot in response. “Aye, you better be happy. I had to sit in there with this loser inches away.”

“Sh-Shut up…you’re so annoying…” Sam grumbled, blowing the curly strands of hair from his face. Suddenly, he was met with two arms wrapped around his shoulders and Lucian’s face closer than ever. His face erupted in blush.

Lucian cuddled his face into Sam’s shoulder, causing the boy to go beet red. “Sammy! You’re wearing a party hat too! Haha, this is great!”

“M-Mhm…!” Sam gulped, remaining completely still while in the birthday boy’s hold.

Once his head had perked back up, his eyes met Thomas’s. Thomas slowly began to back away, only to be jumped on next. This time, Lucian had to launch himself pretty far to get up to his face, in which he succeeded by wrapping his legs around Thomas’s waist and his arms around his shoulders. “Thomas! What are we gonna do today?! Did you get me a present?!”

The black-haired boy gulped. “Y-Yeah, dude…duh…”

“Hahaha! This is the best day ever!“ Lucian hopped off of him, spinning around once again. “I wanna do all sorts of fun stuff!”

“Like wh-what?” Sam asks.

Suddenly, the boy stopped in his tracks. A smile was still visible on his face, however, it seemed he was deep in thought. A few seconds pass before his eyes explode with shine. “A birthday party! I really wanna have a birthday party!”

. . .

“That’s it? Wow. Lame.” Thomas chuckles, putting his hands on his hips.

“Th-Thomas!” Sam yelps, shooting him a dirty look. He then looks back at Lucian, who seems completely put in the dirt by his statement. He quickly grabs onto him with a hug, glaring at Thomas the whole way. “It’s not l-l…lame…I think it’s a g-good idea…!”

“Yeah, but only little kids have birthday parties.” The black-haired boy sneered.

“That’s not t-true!”

“It is.”

“No, it’s not! You’re just trying t…to make Lucian upset!”

“It’s okay…” Lucian sighed, rubbing his upper arms for comfort. The two boys stare at him in awe before he pushes through the both of them to grab his clothes. “I don’t need to have one anyway. It’s just…what I wanted to do…”

Sam and Thomas exchange glances before exiting the room, knowing that Lucian would be changing shortly after. As soon as the door behind them shuts, Sam slaps Thomas across the face.

“OW!” Thomas hollers. “THAT HURT!”

“Y-You’re so stupid! This is Lucian’s b-birthday, not yours! Why would you even say that?!” Sam growls, turning his back so as to not face him. He was too angry to even look at his stupid expression. “You know how he is! He’s practically still a kid! A-And for you to put him down like that…it’s just so wrong!”

“Whatever. Have your little birthday party for all I care,” Thomas rolls his eyes, marching away from the situation. “Just don’t expect me to show up.”

9:01 am.

“Happy birthday, Lucian!” Evelyn cheered, fixing his hair almost as soon as he entered the kitchen.

The boy smiled weakly, still hurting from what Thomas had said about his idea prior. “Thank you, Evelyn…”

The brunette raised an eyebrow as she watched him sit down silently. She knew Lucian quite well, so this was definitely a red flag instantly. The boy was always chippy and happy in the morning, especially when he knew breakfast was on the table. But yet, he just sat down without a word, poking at the food on his plate that Evelyn had made for him. What really shocked her is that he nudged the bacon she had made for him to the side with his fork. Lucian loves bacon. That was the last straw.

“Lucian, dear…whatever is the matter?” Evelyn asks, sitting to his left while putting her gloves on to eat. The boy shrugged and continued to pick around his plate, unmoving his eyes from the food. Evelyn soon decides not to pry on his distasteful energy, but to uplift him into a happier mood. She quickly thinks of a topic she could easily speak of with him and goes for it. “Why are you wearing your same clothes today? You should get dressed for the special occasion!”

“Special…occasion?” Lucian repeats, his eyes now locking with hers.

She nods with a beautiful smile. “Yes! It’s your birthday, so you should be dressed with class! Allow me to help you after breakfast, I’m sure there’s an outfit I could put together for you!”

Lucian’s turquoise eyes glimmer with excitement once again, his smile appearing back onto his face. “Okay! Hehehe…”

Before the two could exchange anymore words, Scarlet enters the kitchen rubbing her eyes. She was still in her nightgown, as usual, as she plopped down into her seat across from the two. They watched as she tried her best to keep her eyes open, giggling at the sight of her almost falling back to sleep.

“Good morning, Evelyn. Good morning, Lucian.” She hums in a sweet voice, smiling ever so softly. “And happy birthday…”

Lucian’s cheeks turn a light shade of pink from the remembrance of his birthday once again. He giggled flusteredly, looking down at his lap. “Thank you…”

“Mmm…what do you want to do today?”

“I…” The boy hesitated. “…I want to have a birthday party, Scarlet. Do…do you think that’s childish?”

The girl shook her head almost instantly, providing Lucian a sense of relief. “Of course not. All sorts of people have birthdays no matter how old they turn…it’s silly to believe parties are for kids anyway…”

Evelyn nods, agreeing with what the older girl had stated. “Yes, parties are for everyone, darling. Oh, but if that’s the case, I would have to prepare everything very quickly for you! What theme would you like to have? No, the color scheme! What cake would you like me to bake? Side dishes? Actual food? What about the decorations-oh, the decorations! What would you like for decorations?”

Scarlet laughs sleepily. “Evelyn, I don’t think Lucian c-!”

“Flower pastel theme. Mint green and lilac. Chocolate. Any kind of meat. Meat. All sorts of flowers, bunnies, and lil fluffy animals!” Lucian answers without hesitation. This stunned Scarlet, but not Evelyn in the slightest.

“Of course, Lucian. I will get started straight away!” The girl gushed, rushing to get her cleaning clothes on.

“Evelyn! You need to eat first…!” Scarlet cried. But she does not stop running off.

The white-haired boy giggles, happily bobbing his head back and forth in excitement. “I’m gonna have a birthday party! A real birthday party!”

Scarlet tilts her head to the side, beginning to eat her breakfast as well. “You seemed to have everything planned out as well…you must be very eager to have this party…”

There was a silence for a moment, one that the girl almost understood instantly; Lucian had all the time in the world to plan this party, because he had not had one in a long while. He must have been dreaming about this day for years, planning everything out in his head once somebody had asked him. It made Scarlet a bit sad for him, considering she knew everyone else here had the childhood memory of a birthday party - She wondered if he ever did have one.

Before she could go further with the statement, Lucian begins to speak. “Mhm! It’s just like the one I had when I was two!”

“…Oh? When you were two?” Scarlet smiles fondly at him, awakening the sense of storytelling inside of him.

“Yes! When papa was still alive, he threw me a really nice party! We had cake and flowers everywhere…! It was in our backyard, by the woods! A-And…my grandma and grandpa came, so did my aunt and uncle with my cousins! Oh, my cousins were a little older than me, so I didn’t always understand what they were saying…but it was still very fun to play with them! We would play hide and seek! And tag! And we got water balloons too! And-!”

“Wow, Lucian…you seem to remember a lot about this day…but you were only two!” The girl exclaimed.

Lucian giggles with pride. “Yeah, I have a good memory like that…my grandma and grandpa gave me lots of clothes to wear…and my aunt gave me really cool toys! She was my momma’s sister. My papa doesn’t have any siblings…or parents.”

“Oh…” Scarlet murmured. She wondered why he would add that onto what he was saying.

“Mhm! He’s kinda like me, huh?” He chirps.

“ U M . . . ”

“Lucian, let’s go get you dressed!” Evelyn pops out of nowhere, pulling the boy straight from his seat and dragging him along. He yelps with surprise before skipping away with her, as happy as could be.

June 30th, xxxx.

12:27 am.

With Evelyn’s hard work, everything was done except the cooking only a few hours later. She had been working like a mad man, running around and doing project after project nonstop. The others tried to help here and there, but always ended up causing a bit too much trouble than intended in the first place. (For example, Sam tried to help set up the decorations only to fall onto the table and mess up a whole bunch of things that Evelyn precisely put down.)

Lucian, however, was a bit troubled himself. Evelyn had picked out a bunch of outfits for him to wear, but he didn’t feel comfortable in any of them. It wasn’t the clothes fault, of course, but his mind. All of the outfits showed hardly any skin and yet, Lucian stood in front of the mirror and shuddered at the thought of being around anyone with them on. If it showed his legs, he wanted to puke. If it showed his arms, he wanted to cry. If it showed his neck, it was unbearable to him. Nothing but his sweater even felt like his anymore.

It wasn’t the clothes, he knew it wasn’t. It was him. If anyone he knew walked down the street with any of the outfits Evelyn had picked out, he wouldn’t bat an eye to them. They looked normal - it was normal. But if he wore it, he felt like all eyes would be on him.

“I’m being stupid.” He told himself, staring at the mirror in front of him. “I’m so stupid…no one is going to care if my arms are showing…or my neck…or even my legs, it doesn’t matter! Everyone has those things. No one feels so uncomfortable to show them when they’re with people…it’s just you. You’re stupid. You’re so stupid…”

A knock at his bedroom door sent him almost across the room. He panicked and tried to hide, despite knowing no one was there to hurt him.

“Yo. No one has seen you for like hours!” Thomas’s voice called with another knock. “Evelyn got all of your stuff ready and she invited everyone over…you should probably come out.”

Lucian doesn’t answer him, feeling tears at the corners of his eyes forming. He wasn’t ready yet. He was still scared to go out like this. Everyone would be looking at him.

“Bro, are you sleeping? C’mon! Everyone came here to see you!”

“I-I’m coming…!” The boy stammers with a shaky voice, standing up and approaching the door. He places his hand on the handle before chickening out and backing away again, choking back tears with a burning sensation in his throat.

“…Lucian. You okay?” Thomas asks, his voice much calmer and gentle. When he had no response, he decided to open the door a bit and peek inside.

There was Lucian on the ground with his knees huddled against his chest and his face hidden behind his hair. Thomas didn’t understand why the boy was crying in the slightest, but immediately knew that he had to try and comfort him before he went out there in front of everyone.

“Hey, dude…what’s going on? Why are you crying…?” Thomas mutters, dropping to his knees to face him leveled.

“I-I’m scared…” Lucian cried out, almost too quiet for anyone to hear. “…I…I look l-like a slut…”

The profanity that came from Lucian’s mouth shocked Thomas more than anything. He shakes his head in awe before looking him up and down again, confused as to why he would think that. He was wearing mint green overalls with flowers sewed into them, a white undershirt, and a small party hat on the top of his head. There was nothing revealing about his outfit at all. This only stunned Thomas more, now that he understood that Lucian was completely and utterly wrong.

“Lucian, you look-” Thomas chose his words carefully, but quickly so as to not make the boy doubt himself. “-wonderful! Your overalls are really cute! You don’t look like a slut, come on! Why would you say that…? You’re not showing anything…weird at all!”

Lucian hiccuped, wiping his tears away on his arm. “D-Do…do you really think so?”

“Yeah, man! I’m sure your boyfriend is gonna love it too! Everyone is! Not in a weird way either, it’s just…it really fits you, Lucian.” Thomas smiled at him, grabbing his hands to make him feel more secure. “And hey…I’m sorry about what I said. I didn’t mean it…the party is totally gonna rock!”

Without another word, Lucian tackle-hugged Thomas to the ground, almost knocking the wind out of him. When he heard the younger boy’s giggle, he instantly knew he had done it. He was back in shape and ready for his birthday party. Thomas smiled at his success, ruffling the boy’s hair up into a mess. “Okay dude, I’ll let this one slide cause you’re the birthday boy…but don’t tackle me like that again!”

“Hahaha! No promises!” Lucian winks, hopping off of him and helping him back up. “Come on! You gotta lead me to where everyone is!”

Thomas rolled his eyes, putting his hands on his hips. “Yeah, yeah, whatever…let’s go.”
