Chapter 4

The sound of the alarm was blasting nonstop next to his head, and he groaned loudly as he opened his eyes.

He looked over to see it was 6:00 AM.

Eddie ran his hands over his face, and he rubbed his hair which was still wet from the prior night, having to take a shower as soon as he got home. He groaned as he slowly sat up, his hair falling over his shoulders, feeling the cold of it against his bare skin. He swung his legs over the bed, finally getting up to get a big stretch.

He walked outside of his room, heading towards his kitchen to get a glass of water, before going to the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror, and saw the tiredness in his eyes. He shouldn’t have stayed longer than he should. He’ll just message Gareth to open up the shop himself so he could sleep in a little bit. He opened the cabinet behind the mirror, and retrieved an orange pill bottle.

He opened it to take one of the large pills out, immediately chugging it down with a gulp of water. He closed the pill bottle and put it back into the cabinet, only to retrieve one of the small glass vials with a purple liquid in them. He only had to do this once a week, and it was due for him to inject a new dose.

He got a one-use sterile syringe from one of the drawers below and some cotton and rubbing alcohol. He put everything down on the sink and grabbed some of the cotton, drenching it in alcohol, to clean the area between his neck and shoulder. He then opened the pack of the syringe and took it out, to then fill it with the purple liquid that was in the vial. He tapped a few times to make the bubbles come out and then stretched his neck, injecting the medicine there.

He huffed a bit. He was used to this by now, because his health and his condition had been like this since he was 16. He felt how his whole body cooled down just a bit and he groaned in relief as it did. He was glad he had some tattoos running towards his neck, hiding the needle marks he has there from over the years.

He pulled the needle out and pressed some cotton on his neck to seal the small puncture. He noticed the anger last night, worse than a normal day, and he knew it was because he was due to this injection. He started tidying his bathroom up and then closed the cabinet to look at his reflection again.

He remembered his interaction with you. He was angry, beyond words after you threw the liquid into his face, and he got even angrier after you threw yourself onto him, ready to punch him square in the cheek. He was stronger than you, he knows it, and he kept his hands to himself as best as he could, but he was starting to see red last night, and he was glad that Steve knows about his condition and immediately took him away from you.

But if he couldn’t hurt you physically, then he would hurt you with words, and that’s what he did. What he didn’t know is that his words hurt you on a different level than he thought they would. Eddie winced at the memory of your distant eyes, when all he wanted was for you to go at him again, yell, throw a slap or something.

But you just stood still, looking at him, and then calmly left without speaking to anybody. He knows there’s so much more to your life than what you give Robin, and that’s the main reason he doesn’t like you. Robin is there to give you her full trust, and her friendship, just like she did for him, yet you didn’t want to open up to her, to anybody for that fact.

He was seeing his own friends, fighting for someone’s trust who didn’t even acknowledge it, or cared that they did. You weren’t even thankful enough to give them your real story, or your real motives. You often lied about your dates going well, and he won’t ever forget how you lied about wanting to go on a date with Jonathan.

It was a week after meeting you, Eddie really thought of apologizing and starting over, thinking that if you didn’t talk about your past it must be because of some personal reason he doesn’t have the right to meddle in. But then, Jonathan asked you out, and his friend had liked you since the first moment he saw you, but you; you accepted the invitation, already knowing you saw him as a friend.

And that irritated him even more.

He protected his friends like family, and something about you was completely off with him. He didn’t trust you, he didn’t like you, but his friends did for some unknown reason, and that might be because he didn’t get to know you personally and they did, but his first impression of you was enough for him to not be interested in doing so.

Whatever it is that you went through was obvious that you didn’t want anything to do with it anymore, but still, Eddie believes his friends deserve an explanation, and even more so if you were going to snap at him like you did last night. He doesn’t even want the explanation himself, he just wants his friends, who actually like you and trust you completely, to receive the same kind of trust from you.

He groaned as he clenched his fists against the sink, taking a deep breath in and cracking his neck, side to side. Should he apologize to you? Should he even try? But why would he? What good would it do? You won’t believe his apology, so maybe the best option here is to simply shut up about it, and let it go behind you both, put it in the past.

“Fuck.” He sighed heavily as the flash of your eyes came back to his mind. He really did fucking hurt you with that one. He blamed himself for it, for not being careful about his medication. He should have taken everything the day before, because if he did, maybe your lies wouldn’t have gotten to him the way they did. It’s not like you’re a special case, it happened to everyone at least once.

Steve never took it personally when Eddie would snap at him when his meds were running low in his system, but he did get into a fight with Robin once. That lasted for a whole week, and he took the matter in his own hands, showing at her home with flowers, and a pair of tickets to go see the nutcracker, even if Eddie fucking hated ballet.

He winced at the memory of forgetting his meds back here when he visited Wayne in Hawkins. He had to drive his uncle away because he was afraid of hurting the poor old man. He took a deep breath to look at himself in the mirror again. He hated this of himself, he hated it, with every fiber in his body, but there’s nothing he can do but keep taking his meds to balance his emotions out.

He turned the light of the bathroom off to head back towards his bedroom, immediately flopping onto the bed, head first. He grabbed his cellphone and messaged Gareth to open the shop for him, that he feels sick and will come in some time later. He blocked his phone and put it on the night table again, staring at the ceiling for a few minutes before closing his eyes.

He should have taken the meds one day prior.

—————————————————

He cursed in excitement as he turned the ignition key of an old Ford and the engine came to life. He had to put a lot of money in spare parts but the owner of the car had agreed either way in the repair.

“Food delivery!” Steve yelled loudly into the garage with four bags of Five Guys. Gareth and Jeff rushed towards him, starving and finally able to have a lunch break.

“God, Harrington, you are godsend.” Gareth exclaimed with a relieved sigh as he took his own bag of food while Steve chuckled, handing Jeff his own, who was rolling his eyes at his friend’s exaggeration. Eddie closed his car’s door, confused as to why Steve came by to his shop, but he won’t deny the bag of fast food in front of him. He walked towards him, ready to take the bag but Steve pulled it away from him, earning a glare from Eddie’s part.

“Oh no… You and I have some talking to do.” And shit. Eddie groaned loudly as he crossed his arms over his chest.

“Seriously Harrington?” Eddie stood his ground against Steve but the younger male didn’t budge, he simply shrugged and smirked at his friend.

“If we don’t talk, you get no food. Easy as that, and it’s your fucking favorite Munson.” At that Eddie’s ears perked up and he looked back at Gareth and Jeff who were already devouring their burgers and Eddie’s stomach grumbled in protest. He turned to Steve again, snatching the bag of food from his hands before walking outside of the garage.

Steve smiled at his friend’s antics and walked behind him, following him to the back of the garage where Eddie took his smoke breaks and he had a nice picnic table set so that he and the boys could have breaks with some fresh air. They both sat down, across from each other, and they started taking the food out of their bags. Steve munched on a fry as Eddie started preparing his burger with some of his fries inside.

“So… Care to tell me what the fuck happened yesterday?” Eddie winced at that and shook his head, closing his burger.

“She started it, Steve. She threw the beer on my face.” Eddie says, taking a bite out of his burger and Steve squinted at his friend.

“Yeah, of course, but I bet that she didn’t do it for the hell of it Munson… So what did you say to her?” Eddie looked at his friend with an offended look in his eyes and shook his head as he swallowed the bite.

“I am your best friend, and you don’t believe me?”

“Fuck no.” Eddie’s eyes widened slightly at Steve and then nodded as if deep in thought.

“I see how it is, Harrington.” At that Steve scoffed, already tired of Eddie’s dramatism.

“I believe you in everything else, but I don’t trust that you didn’t say anything to her for her to become like that.” Eddie looked down at his food as he ate quietly, deliberating if to simply talk it out, or keep it inside, but he knew that the pounding on his heart and the guilt he felt in his belly wasn’t just going to disappear. He sighed and put his burger down on the wrapped as he ran his hands through his face.

“I could tell she was lying about her date… Once again.” Steve shook his head as he took a bite out of his burger. “I mean, Steve, I’m sorry I just fucking hate liars. I hate people that try to fit in, and I hate even more the fact that you all trust her but she doesn’t trust you back.” At that, Steve rolled his eyes as he swallowed.

“You think I tell her my biggest secrets Eddie? Seriously, just because she doesn’t want to tell us about whatever she went through in Atlanta, doesn’t make her a bad person.” Steve explained and now it was Eddie’s turn to roll his eyes.

“What if she did something back there? What if she did something bad? Something she is ashamed of saying?” Eddie exclaims as he takes a big bite out of his burger again and then a sip of his drink.

“Then if she is ashamed it means she regrets it. Eddie, we trust the girl we met now, not the girl she wants to forget.” At that, Eddie stared down at his food, his mind going back to your absent eyes as you looked at noone in particular. It didn’t look like someone who did something bad, but rather, it looked like they did wrong to you at some point. His stomach twisted and he cursed loudly because it was messing with his hunger.

“I went overboard last night…” Steve nodded as he took a fry in his mouth and his eyebrows raised up feigning surprise.

“No fucking shit.”

“My meds were due… I should of taken them yesterday morning.” Eddie looked up at the sky as he took a deep breath in, and his eyes immediately went to Steve, who was looking at him with worry.

“You okay with that? The meds are okay?” Steve asked and Eddie nodded, finally feeling the knot go away in his stomach and start eating again. Steve knew Eddie didn’t like talking about his condition, so he changed subjects again. “Are you going to say sorry to her?” Eddie almost chokes on a fry at that.

“No way. It would only make matters worse really. Just let some time go by and we’ll see from there, until then it might be better to not cross paths with her.” Eddie explains and Steve huffs at him, putting his drink down.

“Are you seriously going to run away from that? I mean, maybe if you apologize, you can get a new friend.” Eddie looked at him with a skeptical look in his eyes.

“I won’t tolerate her lying to me in my face, Harrington, I’m not like you, or anyone else for that matter.” Steve caught on his words and bit the inside of his cheek, and simply gave up on the subject. The worst part is that you both might even be good friends, and Steve knows it, everyone knows it, except for you and Eddie. Your tastes are alike, your sense of humor is the same, your exaggerated banterings are the same.

But Steve understood, or at least he tried to. He understands that Eddie’s condition is not one that would let him trust people that easily, but he can’t help but think that the older male is a little bit hypocritical.

Steve and Dustin are the only ones that know about his condition, about his sickness. Eddie never opened up about it to Robin, Nancy, Argyle or Jonathan. It was just a coincidence and simply bad timing, but if you think about it, it was excellent timing, because if Steve didn’t rush Eddie to his doctor in time, he didn’t know what Eddie would have done in that state.

“Fine… Just, don’t get on her nerves anymore Ed… Not like that. She looked deeply hurt with your last words.” And Eddie winced again, not wanting to remember your face any longer, because he remembered your despair, your nervousness, your fear. He could see it all. He knew Steve wanted to help, but what was done was done, and there really wasn’t a way to go back on his words now.

“Just let it go, Steve. She and I are never going to be friends.” And Steve gave a scoff at that, already putting away the trash in the fast food bag.

“You’re impossible. I hope you know that.” Eddie nodded in understanding but a small tug of the lips happened at the corner of his lips. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and opened his messages, searching for Wayne’s last conversation. He opened it and took a deep breath before sending a greeting to him. Steve noticed the slight switch of emotions in his friend’s eyes and body movement and cracked his knuckles as he looked at him. “Is he better?”

Eddie gulped and put his phone away as he put the trash away from his food, taking final sips of his drink. He rarely talked about himself, or his feelings, or about his family in general, and Steve was glad he could make his friend at least give him the short version of things.

“Lucia is taking care of him… She says he does look more energized after the last chemo session.” He replies, still not looking at Steve, but his friend noticed the lack of response of ‘yes’ or ‘no’. So he wasn’t going to nudge any further into that topic. He knew Wayne is the last family member Eddie’s got, and since he was diagnosed with cancer last year, Eddie’s been reluctant to actually let other people inside his life.

The older male didn’t do things because of malice. He just believed that keeping people away is better than driving them in, knowing that one day they will probably leave, by their own accord, or life would simply run out on them. He is bracing himself for Wayne’s departure, because he knows there’s no way of stopping lung cancer, it’s just buying time for the inevitable.

His mood darkened at the thoughts and he groaned, standing up and Steve followed, looking at Eddie with a pained look in his face.

“You know that we’re here… right?” Steve reminded his friend, and Eddie felt his chest warm at his words. He gave a small nod as he patted Steve’s shoulder.

“Thank you for the food. Go help Jonathan, I’m sure you left him completely alone at the bar.” Steve waved at him with a ‘pff’ noise in his lips.

“He can handle an hour without me.” He said with a smile and Eddie shook his head with a chuckle, looking towards his shop.

“Okay, let me know if there are any plans for the week… And, well…” Eddie didn’t go on with his words, rubbing the back of his neck. Steve rolled his eyes and shook his head.

“We are not going to invite one and not the other. We’ll invite you both, and it will be up to you to see if you can stand one another.” Steve said with a frown to his face, and Eddie understood, nodding at him. He didn’t want to face you, he really didn’t. Not because he is scared, or because he is afraid of what could happen, but because he would want to apologize to you, and that will only make matters worse. He knows you don’t want him talking to you.

So distance it is.

random fanfic preview modern au

wyllstarion probably?? if I can make it work

Drip. Drip. Pause.

Drip. Drip. Drip?

Astarion frowned, eyes jumping to check on the sink. So not even that had any predictability left in it. The whole day was turning out to be wildly unforeseeable.

There was of course the matter of a sink in a police room office, that was unexpectedly decadent. The whole room was barely any bigger than a bathroom. Even the walls were a pastel blue, and it looked like someone had scraped out any traces of lavatory adjacent remains. A part from the leaking sink.

"Mr. Szarr, are you listening?"

Astarion pressed both his hands onto the laquered table. He had thought it green, but the light was playing tricks on him now. Was it blue? Sea green, probably?

"Of course," he replied, before he could even think of the words. He forced himself to look up at the elven woman. She did not look like police. Her blond hair were intricately decorated, golden and silver rings wrapped around them. She was definitely older than him, which was quite a feat, but her ears were smaller - maybe half-elven then? "I was enrapted by your beauty," he offered, enthusiasm leaking and dispersing at every word. He could say more, he knew how to enchant a beautiful - and not - woman.

He sagged into the chair, crossing his arms.

"You must have heard all kinds of interesting tales from these -" she paused, scrunching her nose, "diligent enforcer of the law. But I am here to facilitate the process until you get to trial, if you get there."

"Very comforting."

The sink stopped leaking once more, and Astarion's ears twitched. His hands moved down to his pants, pressing against the pockets. He could feel the shape of the two cilindrical pills bottles. That had to be enough, he was not going to take them out and check the label now.

"Well, your vampire sire is a powerful man and you went back once already."

"That was a while ago. I am going to see this through this time, my dear - I am sorry, I didn't catch your name."

The woman tapped at the piles of papers in front of her, before sliding them over.

'Social worker for magical creatures: Jaheira' was written at the top of it. Not a cop, then. And a traditional elf at that, no last name on sight.

"Gracious gods, you're here to make sure I don't go scurring back to my Master?" Astarion realized, with a groan of disgust. Social worker. Last time he had run, he had survived on his own for about a week before he had asked the policeman assigned to his case to return him to Cazador. The man had looked unbothered, probably happy to not have to proceed with enraging The Cazador Szarr, and Astarion had thrown up the blood he had drunk right on his shoes the moment they had stepped onto the manor's gardens. Good memories. "I thought you guys loved to suck Cazador's dick."

"Ha!" Jaheira blurted out, throwing back her head. The room was so small she missed the wall by a few inches. "I work for the city, not for the district."

"I'll stop you right there, my dear Jaheira. I don't care about the bribery, I don't care about the city, and I don't care about my lovely brothers and sisters. I am here for me. I am going to legally get my freedom, and if I can even get enough of Cazador's blood to become a real vampire. Nothing else. Well, maybe some money would not go amiss."

Jaheira tapped on the stack of papers once more, pushing it even further on. "Calm down, I'm here for you too, even if you might not like it. We do things differently now, even police got training on thralls and spawns." She flipped through the pages until she found an half filled form.

'EMERALD GROVE' it said, on the top of it, all in big elegant letters. There was a flower at the center of the O. 'Rehabilitation center and safe house of enthralled creatures, spawns, warlocks and magical victims`.

"That is a mouthful."

"Wait till you find out that Emerald is supposed to be an acronym." She had the air of someone who wanted to be asked, so Astarion kept his mouth shut. Jaheira continued: "It is a safe place, outside the city. Your sire won't be able to find you, and the location will only be revealed to your lawyer and your assigned social worker for magical creatures, which is me."

Astarion's eyes went back on the form in front of him.

'Please select what kind of magical creature you are' there was written, followed by a long list. Warlock (contract signed in distress), warlock (contract signed with your full consent), chosen one (eternal being), chosen one (other creature), slave, thrall, charmed or magically dominated for more than six months, vampire spawn (turned against your will), vampire spawn (turned with your full consent).

He had no real choice here. He had no money, he knew no one outside of Cazador's circle, what was he even supposed to do? At least last time he had run he had grabbed a bunch of rings and chalices with him, and then he had been unable to sleep when Cazador had gone to the police to accuse him of theft. Astarion had seen the report - the policeman assigned to him had made sure he did. It had been quite ironic to find his own name among the things he had supposedly stolen. Just after the 'Ancient Baldurian silver plate'.

Astarion grabbed the pen and scrabbled an x on 'vampire spawn (turned with your full consent)'. Jaheira kept explaining. Safe house. Somewhere outside the city. He would have an allowances untilt he trial, a room, food in the form of blood of his choice (in the limits of what was available). Astarion ignored her, rushing to fill all the missing pages.

He kept thinking the police woman from that morning could come back at any time. He was not sure what he was going to do if she showed him Lord Szarr's new accusation of theft.

My spawn Astarion had stolen a pair of black trousers, a wrist watch with a recently changed leather strip, and a white long sleeved shirt. And himself, of course.

Astarion shoved the papers back at Jaheira, before pocketing the pen. The woman raised an eyebrow at the gesture but did not comment.

"Alright, let's go then. You have a court-appointed lawyer, I think. You'll meet them soon enough. Do you have a phone they can contact you?"

Astarion laughed.

Chapter X - Adorable valentine, part II

FEBRUARY 14, 2023

1:00 pm

The Brit and the idol now arrived at the former's residence. This house was a box house made out of concrete and wood, which made the perfect, simple yet unusual house structure that sets it apart from the rest of the houses seen in Korea. The exterior was fascinatingly designed, and the materials that were made to create this masterpiece brought a combination of modern and natural aesthetic to it.

The house served as a symbol of Axelle's distinctive taste, being a man of simplicity and sleekness. The excitement was written all over Momo's face. She is still clinging onto her boyfriend's back.

"Wow. That's a really good looking house you got here!" Momo looked at the house with marvel in her eyes. "It's so sexy."

"It literally just looks like a box, though." The Brit chuckled, approaching the wooden door.

"I'm not kidding! The house is indeed sexy. Especially the one that is living in it." Momo giggled flirtatiously.

The Brit immediately got the message. "No, I'm not sexy. You are."

"No, you. Ehehe." The idol giggled again.

Axelle then opens the sliding wooden door, revealing the interior of the house. Again, it was made out of wood and concrete again, and it definitely created a sense of welcoming atmosphere, especially the living room.

(IGNORE THE BLURRY BABY)

He then puts his girlfriend down the sofa to relax herself after a long time of shopping him gifts, and excused himself for a moment. While he was gone for a while, Momo looked around the interior and was taking in the environment around her, amazed by how it was constructed. But moreover, she couldn't believe that her boyfriend, who is still a graduating student in college, resides in such a glorious and remarkable house.

Axelle then went back with a wash basin filled with water and soap.

"What are you going to do with that, darling?" Momo curiously asked.

He places the basin on the floor and then removes his girlfriend's shoes, and then puts her feet in, soaking them in the water. "A family tradition. This is how we welcome visitors in our home."

"Really?" Momo tilted her head.

He then kneeled on the floor and looked up at Momo. "No, I was kidding, I just made that up." He then chuckled.

She lightly tapped his head. "야, 바보! (Ya, pabo!) I was starting to think you were actually doing some family tradition!" She then shared a chuckle with the Brit, who then started to wash her feet.

(야 yah = hey)

"But for real. A little soak does feel so good. I should visit your house everyday so that you could wash my feet like this." The idol looked at him soaping her feet, feeling his fingers work their magic.

"As long it's not as stinky as the fish markets back in London." He snickered.

"Hey! You again and your silly little barbs!" Momo laughed. "I don't know if I should be insulted, haha!"

"I'm English. My mouth is a bit sharp sometimes." He commented. "It runs in my blood. But I use this 'weapon' depending on the person."

"That makes sense." She replied.

The Brit finishes washing her feet and leaves the living room, pouring out the water in the bathroom and setting aside the soap. He then returns not a few milliseconds later, and then does the surprising act of grabbing her chin and kissing her briefly.

He pulled away but kept his face close to Momo.

"You're so adorbs, little Axelle. I am really glad you are mine to keep."

"So I guess I'll have to stick with you calling me 'little' all the time?" Axelle asked.

"That is my little rule when we're together. You may be a tall boy, but you have a fragile heart like that of a child." Momo whispered, her aura becoming a bit possessive. "As long as you stay with me, I will make sure that you will be called 'little' for the rest of your life."

He shrugged. "Maybe I'll get used to being babied."

The idol wagged her index finger, playfully scolding him like a little boy. "Tsk tsk tsk. Nuh-uh. What did I tell you about the maybes, darling?"

He definitely did notice the motherly yet subtle dominating tone of Momo, yet he brushes it off anyway. "Sorry. No maybes. Only the yes's."

"Good boy∼" She whispered in a soft, husky voice. "You're sooo easy to talk to. I love that in you, my precious baby boy." She then chuckled seductively, pulling his head in between her clothed breasts.

As his head nestled in that spot, he begins to think for himself, with questions running in his head.

"Why is this... This is so uncertain of me. But why is Momo so tantalizing when she's... dominant and motherly? Is this because I lacked the love that was supposed to be given by my own Mum? Why do I feel so vulnerable? I shouldn't be like this... being babied is a bit cringe... yet why do I feel this way for my darling?"

The idol's lips let out another alluring mirth, caressing her boyfriend's hair. "Oh, Axie. You're sooo cute∼" She then kisses his forehead repeatedly, giving him affection. "I sooo want to take care of you now. My baby boy."

The young man thinks for himself once again.

"Am I being submissive at this point? Now that I think about it, I clearly remembered she gripped my neck last time back at that roof terrace... She wasn't even choking me, but she was so powerful, so dominant, that it makes me want to kneel down to her. But how does she do all of this? How?"

Momo drew his head away from her breasts and brought it closer to her face. "Hey, cutie. What do you wanna do now? We're all alone in your house now... We can do anything here. Tell me, boy."

He looked at the gift bag that was beside Momo and grabbed it, putting the thing beside him. He reaches inside the bag and pulls out the first gift that he grabbed.

"Oh! Strawberries!" Axelle smiled like a child. "And it's four packs! Incredible!"

Momo chuckled. "Yes. I knew you'd like strawberries, so I bought four packs just to be sure." She caresses his hair again. "Now go ahead and reach for the other gifts, darling."

He reaches for the bag again and pulls out the two strawberry Kitkat packs, and the strawberry plushie.

"Wait, no way!" He looked at the three items in his hands. "Nah, wait, hold up. Now I feel bad..."

"Feel bad for what?" Momo chuckled, her hands on her man's back.

"You walked for a long time just to get me these gifts, though. You shouldn't have done that for me. I mean, I should be doing that. I'm a man, right?"

Momo shook her head. "It's a thing here in Korea and the rest of East Asia for a woman to give something to her man on Valentine's, if you don't know that."

"Wait, really?" Axelle raised his eyebrow, culture-shocked by this discovery. "I literally lived here in Korea for 5 years and I had just known that?"

"Hehe. Culture shock much, huh?" Momo leaned onto his shoulder. "But let me tell you something, boy."

Axelle nods, ready to listen to his girlfriend.

"It's not about the gender roles, or who should do what, anyway. In the end, it's about showing my love and affection for you, little one. I take care of you, and you take care of me. Reciprocating. Simple as that." She kisses his cheek. "You got me a soak when we arrived here anyway... and I'm contented with your acts of service. Are we clear?"

Reaching for her hand, he interlocks it with his and kisses it. "Yes, darling. Crystal clear."

"Good." She places a peck on his shoulder.

To Momo's surprise, yet again, the man hugged her in gratitude. "Thank you so much, darling. I couldn't give you enough gratitude. I mean it from the bottom of my heart."

The idol hugged him back, feeling his warmth in their little embrace. "You are absolutely welcome, my little Axelle."

Afterwards, the Brit turned back on the packs of strawberry and cracked one open, picking one and putting it in his mouth. As he tasted it, he nodded and smiled.

"Yes. I like this." He locked eyes with his woman. "Momo, try one."

"But those are yours, darling." Momo smiled. "I'll pass."

Remembering the thought of being babied by his girlfriend, he uses this to his advantage, and Axelle picked up another strawberry with his two pairs of fingers, putting it close to his face and looked at Momo with puppy eyes.

"Pwease. Twy one stwawbewwy. Pwease, pwease, pwease!" He spoke like he was freaking Tweety Bird.

Momo hung and shook her head, chuckling. "You're so cringe! I hate it but I also love it."

"Just get the fricking berry before I die of embarrassment here!" He half-grimaces and half-smiles, blushing as if he was about to die of cringeness.

"Fine. I'll eat one, I guess." She picked up the fruit from Axelle and takes a bite out of it. She hummed, "Mhm! It's not bad at all! I like it!"

The Brit picked up another strawberry from the pack, and then something clicked. He wondered, "I might feed it to her."

Momo looked at Axelle in confusion and jealousy. "Who's 'her'? Is she a woman, Axelle? Is she trying to hit on you?"

The Brit shook his head and chuckled. "Momo. Don't worry. 'She' isn't a human."

He then puts two fingers on his mouth, and then whistles. In a matter of seconds, the couple can hear thumping noises slowly getting a bit louder up from the second floor's hallway.

A black creature quickly emerged from the room from the second floor, its ears and nose twitching as it heard its master's whistle. She went down the stairs and into the living room. This cute creature is one of the biggest species of its kind, and it had black fur and long ears.

Momo gasped. "A rabbit! It's soooo cuteeee!"

The giant rabbit then hopped on to Axelle's lap.

"Hey, girl! Are you hungry? Who's the cutest rabbit? Yes, it is you!" He cooed whilst rubbing her fur, with the rabbit brushing her head into her master's stomach.

"She's so big! What breed of rabbit is this, darling?" Momo asked.

"Momo, meet Blazar. She's a Flemish Giant." Axelle says elatedly, caressing the fur of his beloved pet. "She weighs 18 pounds. She's so heavy, haha! But I love her so much!"

"Blazar? That's an epic name for a rabbit like her." Momo complimented, noticing the rabbit licking its own front feet.

He discusses the reasoning behind the name. "Yeah. I named her after that thing in space called an 'active galactic nucleus' or something like that, and blazars apparently belong to that kind. I barely have any knowledge about those types of stuff, just thought it would be cool to name her after it."

He then feeds a strawberry to Blazar as a treat. The doe nibbled on the fruit, leaving no speck or remnant behind, and even eating the leaves.

(doe = a female rabbit)

"Can I pet her?" Momo looked at the rabbit, then at Axelle.

The Brit nodded, allowing Momo to pet the big creature. Luckily, Flemish Giants enjoy interacting with people, so Momo was able to pet Blazar's soft head and fur.

"She's so fluffy. You take care of her really well." Momo gently let go of the rabbit, before the latter hopped off of Axelle's lap to sit in her little bed near the sofa.

"I really love that girl. She was my companion when I was in third year." Axelle explains. "Anyway, I should give a proper tour of my house."

"I would love that, darling. Please do show me what you have in store."

Axelle extended his hand out to his girlfriend and the latter eagerly accepted the gesture. The couple began to stroll around the house, with the Brit showcasing every space, nook and cranny that they can see around the property.

Firstly, he led Momo to the back of the house where the pool could be seen. It was incredible, especially that it is encased in an open space to see views of Seoul, but also protected with a ceiling in case it rains. There's even a couch a few meters beside the pool, if one just wants to look at the glistening water.

Axelle then led Momo to the kitchen on the second floor, which also functions as the dining area. Featuring wide windows and a big stove that has mechanical functions, activated with the push of a button, Axelle's kitchen provides a space where eventually, he could have a good time cooking with Momo or even just enjoying each other's company.

As they went through the other spaces and rooms, Momo took in the knowledge and insights she had gained from discovering her boyfriend's own little oasis. She was still fascinated with the structure and the features of everything that was displayed in front of her, but that fascination only amped up because she had Axelle beside her. His class and simplicity was something that she admired so much, and she wanted to make more memories with him in this place.

2:00 pm

At this hour, Momo and Axelle couldn't play the waiting game any longer, so they made out in the bedroom. Momo and Axelle's erotic noises filled the room, with their hands travelling around each other's bodies.

The Brit gently grazed his woman's lower lip, and the idol reciprocated it back, doing the same thing to him, and then eventually moving on to the actual kiss.

"Momo..."

"Axelle..."

The two of them continued kissing, then increasing the intensity of pleasure by cupping each other's cheeks while swirling their tongues. One of the things that made the pair continue with this act was their bodies becoming feverish. Though not scientifically proven to be an aphrodisiac, the aroma of lavender released by the diffuser lingering around the room, had combined with the other intoxicating air, which helped their love and lust grow even stronger.

Being the more dominant one yet again, Momo then pushes Axelle into the bed, making out with him on top for a few seconds more, until the idol removes her own top clothes, again, braless, like the last time. She reclined downward in order for the Brit to have closer access to her titties.

Once he does, he begins to suckle on one of them, whilst kneading the other, playing with the nipple. He did this alternatively.

"I love how you take care of my titties, darling." She moaned. "Please... play with them all you want..."

The Brit kept up with this act for a couple seconds, having been addicted to breasts, as it is his favorite body part from his darling. He then proceeds to flip himself over, orienting himself on top of her...

"Gotcha. My turn."

...and then leaning into her neck to kiss and lick it, whilst grabbing the back of her head.

"あら... You sneaky boy." Momo moaned yet again. "But I'm the one who is queen in your bed."

(あら ara = oh)

Following that, she flips herself on top of him, seemingly like a wrestling bear. Momo did not want to lose to a boy like Axelle, so to stop him from taking over this little session, the idol began to brush her tongue from his chest, making little stops by giving a peck, then doing the same process until she reached his nipple.

Axelle gasped, remembering how Momo played with his nipples that day on the roof terrace. "Shit, not again...!"

Momo was true to her thoughts, and she reached her fingers on the left nipple to rub it while playing with the other with her mouth.

"Dammit..." He blushed, hissing in pleasure. "Why are you always one step ahead of me. You're so bad, Momo..."

Momo continued to perform nipple play on Axelle. She didn't hesitate to reach for his erection as well, rubbing her delicate fingers over his boxers, her mouth still intact and playing with his right nipple.

A few seconds passed again and she pulled away from his nipple, turning his attention to his hard erection. The idol removed his shorts and underwear, throwing it on the floor. She bit her lip upon the sight of his cock, and then held the shaft before moaning out:

"Ffffuck... oh fuck, Axelle. I want your cock. I want it. Mine. ALL MINE. "

She stuck her tongue out for a moment, producing a gob of dripping saliva to lubricate her man's cock. With the aforementioned body part now being wet with her spit, she began to stroke from the base then up the shaft, then repeat.

Momo kept eye contact with him as she shifted into the next step, licking the pre-cum off the tip as she continued to stroke the shaft. Axelle's tip was so sensitive that he could not help but cover his blushing face with his whole hand, which was deemed impossible to do.

"Momo! It's... Aghhh!!" He groaned. "Fuck, it's too sensitive! Momo, please!"

"Mhm. Keep on begging, boy. I'm going to suck you dry until I am satisfied."

Staying true to her thoughts once again, Momo tucked her hair behind her ear for a second before shoving her mouth into his cock, with the tongue settling on the underside of his shaft. She then began to move her head up and down, making slurping and moaning noises.

She would even cock her head sideways as she kept on bobbing her mouth up and down his cock, and not only were there slurping and moaning noises, but she also gagged in order for the saliva to ooze out. She then repeats the same process, unashamedly swallowing the whole of his length, still locking eyes with her darling.

"Momo... please." Axelle moaned.

She pulled away to relax her throat for a bit, and kept on stroking his cock hastily. "Have you been taking cigarettes again, Axelle? Be honest with me."

"No... I haven't. Since the first day you sucked me off."

Momo giggled. "ベリベリグッド! You're such a good boy∼ Now I can get to taste your sweet, sweet cum. Let it out for me, now."

(ベリベリグッド! = Very very good! In katakana)

"Woman, it's not that easy to bust a nut..." He closed his eyes and scrunched his face as he still felt Momo's hand stroking his cock.

"Then I'll keep on blowing you until you fucking cum for me."

She pulled her mouth out of him as she thought for herself, whilst her hand stayed intact and stroked the skin of his penis.

"So he isn't cumming for me, huh? This boy has great endurance indeed. Maybe if I take it a bit farther... he might. Hehehe. I should make him fuck me. I want to feel him inside of me. I will show my darling that I can make him mine."

The idol turned back to Axelle, letting go of his cock. "Hey. Do you have condoms?" She asked suggestively.

"Wait a minute. Don't tell me we're going to—"

She put a finger on his lips. "Yes. We are going. To do. IT. If you cannot cum through my blowjob, then I'll order you to fuck me."

She leaned forward again for a sloppy kiss that lasted a couple of seconds, with Axelle even savoring the taste of his own cock from Momo's mouth. She then pulled away from the kiss slowly, leaving a string of saliva hanging on to both of their tongues.

"Now, boy. Get yourself a condom. It's time."

"Okay..."

Following his girlfriend's command, with a thumping heart, Axelle then crawls on the bed reaching for the drawer beside it, pulling out a condom. Momo chuckled once more, because of the flavor.

"You really do have an obsession for strawberries. You're so cute, darling." Momo bit her fingernail, admiring her boyfriend with alluring eyes. "Let me help you with that."

The idol grabbed the condom away from him and tore the wrapper open with her teeth. She places the tip of the thing onto the head of Axelle's penis, and then unrolls it down the shaft all the way to the base. Now, the Brit's organ is all wrapped in this crimson-coloured, flavored rubber, which made Momo so excited, considering that she was eager to fuck her boyfriend in his very own bed, in his very own house.

After removing every piece of fabric in her upper body, yet again, she took the lead, pushing her boyfriend down the bed, as she began to go on top of his waist while holding his cock, rubbing the tip against her clit. Both Momo and Axelle let out hot, erotic breaths as the former did her act.

"Fair warning... this is my first time, Momo. but shouldn't I go on top of you instead?" Axelle asked, tilting his head sideways.

"No. For now, I will go on top of you. I will make you fuck me so hard, my little Axelle." She declared, a woman true to her word. "Again, I will make you mine. ALL MINE."

Using the swollen head of his wrapped-in-rubber cock, Momo finds the opening of her pussy, which was already dripping wet. Once she did, she moved her own body downwards his waist, feeling her walls being stretched by her darling's length.

"Aaahhh! Ohhhh! Unhhhhh! Ahhhhahhh!" Momo began to groan, her body trembling in intense ecstasy. "Fuck! It's so fucking big, Axelle! Yessss... I want this..."

"Guhhhhn... Ahhhhh! Nnnnhhh!" Axelle groaned out as well.

Momo has successfully inserted herself on Axelle. Hissing, huffing and puffing, she smilingly bit her lip, looking at her man's drunk, twitching eyes. "You're feeling it now aren't you...?" Momo chuckled. "I'm glad to be your first time, Axie∼ Thank you for the golden opportunity, darling. I can finally, FINALLY get you to fuck me REAL hard..."

The main event begins, as Momo bounces up and down on his cock, feeling the whole of its length inside her. Her juicy boobs were jiggling, the face was already red, and almost about to drip with sweat. She also closed her eyes, opening it but with the little disadvantage of them twitching because of the intense pleasure she felt. However, all of this mattered in the end. She wanted to fuck Axelle and make that mark on him. To make him stay. To make him hers.

If there was one thing that each of them took away from each other, it was their own modesty and chastity. Momo already had prior experience, because she had been touching herself way before she met Axelle, but then again, she is still getting used to an actual penis.

Axelle was also feeling his girlfriend's dominance over him as she continued to bounce up and down, hearing her mewl. With having lesser work to do in this position, he just stayed intact, lying down on the bed, all while scrunching his face, letting out huffs from his dry lips.

After a while, he noticed Momo getting a bit tired from all the bouncing considering that she put all of her weight on her bent knees. "Momo, hold still. Let me..."

As if his instinct was telling him a message, he slowly thrusted on her up and down, moving his waist while Momo was still assuming the squat position. He vocalized grunts and breaths, putting all of his weight on his hips in order for him to give Momo the proper sexual treatment that she deserves.

"Axelle." She muttered in a much cuter voice. "Yes. Yes. Yes. Axelle, please."

The couple assumed this position for a couple of minutes more, alternately doing the work in order for them to enjoy their sex, and slowly building it up, especially in the case of Axelle where he does the thrusting much faster.

They haven't even orgasmed yet. Of course, they want to enjoy the sex much longer. The Brit felt that he wanted Momo to rest, so he flipped her over on the bed to make her lie on her back, with him now assuming the top position. Her legs are placed beside Axelle's shins.

"Now would you let me do the work?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, smirking.

She sighed, grinning. "Fine. I'll allow it. Take care of me well, my darling."

The Brit guided his condom-wrapped cock into the idol's clit, rubbing the head against it teasingly. Momo moaned and breathed heavily in response to this act, but it only got louder... as he inserted his organ into her hole.

But to be certain that Axelle is actually engaged in this activity, before he begins thrusting her, Momo asked him, "Wait, Axelle. Before anything else... Are you enjoying this?"

He reclined forward, remaining in his current position. "I don't mean to be poetic, but you tempted me into this first. I can't back down on this anymore, nor do I wish to do so." Axelle declared. "If this means making me yours, then so be it. I gladly and officially welcome everything, your desires and fears, your wants and your needs. And I also wish to become yours. For keeps."

His declaration of love made Momo's heart swell with affection. She couldn't move at the moment because his penis is still inside her and not thrusting yet. However, his words made her cherish this serenely intimate moment with him, realizing and hoping that their bond will grow much stronger, not by the sex alone, but by the way he uses his words and gives her that assurance.

"Thank you so much, Axelle. It means so much to me, you know that?" Momo chuckled. "Now you can go ahead and... fuck me all you want."

He proceeded with the other part of the main event, pulling his cock out and then pushing it again inside her, pleasuring his girlfriend intensely. Momo let out moans, occasionally biting her lip because the arousal was overwhelming her whole body and mind. Axelle closed one eye, and then leaned into her neck to press his lips and tongue against her skin, heightening the pleasure.

From their regular position, Momo wraps her leg around Axelle's back, allowing the latter to deepen the penetration. Their skins are now much closer, an electric feeling surging through each of them as the Brit continues to buck his penis inside his idol girlfriend.

He then gives a sloppy kiss, twirling his tongue against hers, all while making whining sounds, which lasted for a few seconds before pulling away. Axelle's dry lips have become wet with the combined mixture of his and Momo's spit, which he eventually licked off.

To keep the sex more enjoyable, Momo switches back to being the top, straddling on top of her man, resting her knees on the bed, facing Axelle, who is lying on his back again with his knees bent a little. The idol leaned forward a bit, allowing them to have more skinship:

Their bodies resting against each other, Momo wrapping her arms around his neck, and Axelle grabbing her firm, kneadable ass.

With that, Momo begins to grind her hips on top of Axelle's pelvis. His hands were massaging her bouncing ass as well.

He would then later buck his condom-covered cock up her pussy, while Momo remained in her top position, just like last time.

"Fuck, Axelle, you're so good at this already!" Momo huffed, her hot and erratic breath being felt by the Brit's face.

"It seems..." The Brit hissed. "I'm close. So close, darling...! I-I'm about to cum, Momo!"

"Hold it in for me, baby!" She nibbled on his lower lip before saying, "I'm about to cum too! Let's cum together, my darling!"

The Brit and the idol kept on fucking, whilst kissing sloppily, which muffled their noises of arousal. Axelle did not stop pounding Momo, using the strength of his hips, and he isn't planning to...

...until a few moments later, finally, the couple reached cloud nine. Momo let out a satisfying, erotic groan as she clung on to Axelle, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck as she felt the intense high jolting throughout every corner of her skin.

A grunt came out of the Brit's mouth as he exploded, feeling the same electric feeling as his girlfriend. Every drop of semen filled up the tip of his condom, which made the man clench his eyes, and his blush reddening deeper.

Following the orgasm, Axelle affectionately interlocked Momo's hand with his and kissed her softly, in contrast to the previous sloppy kisses. Love and care permeated every aspect of it.

It was something more fervent.

More passionate.

Something deeper than even mere lust cannot suffice.

An hour has passed. The afternoon sun rays passed through the windows of Axelle's bedroom. The couple took a bath after exerting all that movement, and afterward, bringing out the Valentine's gifts that Momo gave to her darling two hours earlier.

The woman, who was wearing a bathrobe, sat on her man's lap on the edge of the bed. His arm wrapped around her waist, holding the strawberry plushie in one hand, while on the other, a Nutella-dipped strawberry that he offered with sensuality. As an accompaniment to the fruits, there is also a side of Nutella and a dollop of fluffy whipped cream.

"Try this one. It has Nutella on." Axelle says. Momo then opens her mouth, chewing on the chocolate spread-infused strawberry.

"Mmm! It is good, eh?" After swallowing, Momo gives a little peck on Axelle's lips, to which the latter responded with a soft smile.

"You're cute when you eat strawberries." He feeds himself a strawberry dipped in whipped cream.

"Shut up, boy. It's you who's cuter." Momo retorted.

"No, you!"

"Nah-ah! You!"

Axelle playfully stuck his tongue out at Momo, a cringey but also somewhat cute response to her insistence. In return, the idol raised her clenched fist in a threateningly cute manner.

In the end, their little argument/banter on who is cuter would cease for a while, continuing their own little moment of feeding each other some strawberries and the Kitkats on the edge of the bed.

"Hey, Momo."

"Mhm?"

"Thank you." Axelle smiled.

"For what, Axelle?" Momo caressed his cheek.

"For being here, darling. Aside from the gifts of course." He nestled his head on her shoulder, giving pecks on her cheek. "I actually thought you wouldn't be coming today for Valentine's."

"I was almost about to give up on these gifts because I didn't know where your house was." Momo answered honestly. "I'm glad you spotted me back at the bank. I guess fate really brings us together in such circumstances where we don't expect it."

"You still should've told me you were coming, though!"

"Axelle, it was a surprise! I mean, that's the point, right? Not telling you at all?" Momo softly rebuts. "But then again, I didn't even know where you live. That was my mistake..."

He took hold of her chin, making her face him and then planted another peck. "You know what? How about let's not argue about that? What's important is that you're here and we are spending our Valentine's together."

"You know what, too?" She lightly taps his cheek. "I definitely agree with that. I have no schedule for later until tomorrow, so I could be able to do this..."

The idol stood up and then pushed Axelle into the bed, mischievously smiling. She then leaned down into his neck to suck and nibble on its skin. A gasp escaped from the Brit's lips, not expecting this gesture. He indeed felt a faint pain, which is not even as painful as a bee sting, but wasn't planning to stop Momo. Weirdly enough, he liked how the idol was grazing and sucking on the skin fervently, given that Momo was indirectly marking her territory.

After a few seconds, Momo drew her teeth and lips away, , leaving a love bite on his neck. He gently touched it with his fingers, locking eyes with his girlfriend.

"You're mine."

Axelle chuckled. "You don't have to say it all the time, Momo."

She looked at him with her signature big, beautiful eyes with a hint of darkness, declaring, "I'll say it even a hundred times if it means I get to have you for myself."

The young man didn't even have to speak further to even say anything about her declaration of love. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Momo's waist, closing his eyes to feel the admiration and boldness that she possesses. Not once, he had met someone like her. Someone that isn't afraid to be her true self around her darling. This was a wholesome moment for the both of them, and Axelle hoped that, some day, some month, some year...

He will get to feel more of Momo's love.

"Happy Valentine, Momo."

"Happy Valentine, Axelle."

5:00 pm

Incheon Int'l Airport

"여행객 여러분, 인천국제공항을 선택해 주셔서 감사합니다. 안전여행 하시고 한국에서 즐거운 시간 보내시기 바랍니다. 앞으로도 다시 서비스를 제공할 수 있기를 기대합니다."

("Dear travelers, thank you for choosing Incheon International Airport. We wish you safe travels and enjoy your time in South Korea. We look forward to serving you again in the future.")

Incheon International Airport. Since Seoul, the capital city, does not have an established airport, planes take off and land here. Reports from around the globe have stated that it is one the best airports in the world, considering their quality services, welcoming air crew and advanced accommodations and facilities.

It is currently packed with travelers and visitors to and fro Korea, and beyond the world. Everyone wanted to see the country, its culture, the sights and the great food that it had to offer.

A certain man had just claimed his baggage and is about to leave the airport, having taken an 11-hour flight from the United Kingdom. He was actually born and raised here, and was happy to be back in his home country. But besides that... he is here for an important mission.

"Ahhh..." He breathed in and out, feeling the fresh Korean air. "I'm back, 한국. Sadly, I'm on a very important mission for today. Vacations can wait."

(한국 Hangug/Hanguk = Korea)

From his coat, he takes out what seems to be a very important file, a crucial item for this task. He then begins to speak for himself, as he walks out the door of the airport.

"The flights from Heathrow had to be cancelled, so I was delayed for 28 days, goddammit. Now that I'm here... I can do the task that that Filipino 아줌마 entrusted me to do. By the way... She's super hot. And super dangerous."

(아줌마 ajumma = middle-aged woman)

He then unfolds the file that had a picture attached on the upper left corner.

"Now, she trusts me to take care of her 22-year-old son... Lucky she isn't here to reprimand me again. Why do I have to take care of an adult? What is he, a child?"

He sighed, now focusing on that picture.

"Though, I'm intrigued to see this lad. He interests me. This guy..."

"Axelle Hutchison."

Japanese Bathing

Having encountered the Japanese toilet everywhere we go and then arrived at a hotel with an Onsen bath it seemed only right to explain a bit about Japanese bathing as it differs so much from our Western ways!

Bathing time is almost ritualistic in Japan. At the end of the day, everyone in the family takes turns bathing and then soaking in the tub. The bath is a place to unwind before bed. Therefore, having a bathtub in the same space as a toilet is the opposite of relaxing, in fact, most Japanese people get queasy at the idea of bathing within the eyeshot of a toilet.

Traditional Japanese bathrooms often incorporate separate areas for performing different hygiene tasks, such as undressing, bathing, and using the toilet. This layout ensures optimal cleanliness and prevents the spread of germs.

Unlike modern bathrooms seen across the world, in a Japanese bathing area, the shower is outside the tub which is in line with traditional Japanese bathing culture. One washes their body outside the tub and then soaks in the tub to relax.

The defining part of a Japanese toilet is the seat. While the base and tank resemble the Western toilets most of us have been using for years, the seat is electronic and offers a built-in bidet function, which offers nozzles, a remote control or side-panel feature, and about twelve unique ways to wash your bottom, some even have heated seats and a choice of music!

Onsen Baths

Onsen, a word that literally means "hot spring," are natural hot water baths rich in beneficial minerals.

Below is a description of the common way of taking a hot spring bath. The actual rules may differ slightly between different establishments.

Take off all your clothes in the changing room and place them into a basket together with your large bath towel. Coin lockers for valuables are often available.

* Hot springs are enjoyed naked, and swimming suits are not allowed. However, it is the custom to bring a small towel into the bathing area, with which you can enhance your privacy while outside of the water.

* Before entering the bath, rinse your body well with water from a trough, tap or the bath itself using a bowl or from a shower.

* Enter the bath and soak. Note that the bath water can be very hot, typically 40-44 degrees Celsius (or 104-111 degrees Fahrenheit). If it feels too hot, try to enter very slowly and move as little as possible.

* Make sure to keep your small towel out of the water. Many bathers set theirs at the side of the bath or fold it up and place it on their head.

* Refrain from talking loudly, swimming and submerging your head. Those with long hair should tie it up before entering the bath.

* Try out different baths (if available) and take breaks. Avoid sitting with your behind on the edge of the bath tub as others will rest their heads there.

* After you finished soaking, it is recommended not to rinse your body with tap water for the hot spring water's minerals to have full effect on your body.

* Use your small towel to pat yourself dry before re-entering the changing room in order to keep the floor dry. You can dry yourself further there with your large bath towel.

Cleaning your body is not a primary purpose of hot spring bathing, especially when taking multiple baths per day. To the opposite: the primary purpose of visiting an onsen is to dirty your body with the minerals provided by Mother Earth.

How to choose the right plumbing fixtures for your bathroom shower

Your bathroom is a special place in your home. It's where you start and finish your day, and sometimes, it's where you find peace. But did you know that the key to making your bathroom comfy and stylish lies in picking the right things for it? We're talking about bathroom fixtures, like taps and showers.

In this guide, we'll help you choose the right bathroom fixtures that not only match your style but also fit your bathroom just right. Whether you want a modern look or a cozy one, the choices you make here will make your bathroom a great place for your daily routines. Let's start and see how these small things can make a big difference in your bathroom.

Main Bathroom Fixtures

Let's start by exploring the main bathroom fixtures you'll need:

Faucets: Faucets are the workhorses of your bathroom. They come in various styles and finishes, but the most important factor is functionality. Look for water-efficient options to save both water and money. Check out the latest trends in faucet designs, but don't forget to prioritize performance.

Showers: A good shower can make or break your morning routine. Low-flow showerheads are eco-friendly and can help you save water without sacrificing water pressure. Consider the type of showerhead, whether rain shower, handheld, or traditional, that suits your preferences.

Toilets: Toilets have come a long way in terms of design and water efficiency. Dual-flush toilets give you the option to use less water for liquid waste and more for solid waste, reducing overall water consumption. Think about the style and height of the toilet that best fits your bathroom.

Sinks: Sinks come in various materials and designs. Consider the space available and your design preferences when choosing between pedestal sinks, under-mount sinks, or vessel sinks. Also, prioritize eco-friendly materials like porcelain or ceramic.

Lighting: Lighting plays a significant role in creating the right ambiance in your bathroom. Energy-efficient LED fixtures are not only trendy but also eco-friendly. Think about task lighting for grooming and ambient lighting for relaxation.

Small Fixtures and Accessories

Small fixtures and accessories may seem like minor details, but they can make a big difference in your bathroom's functionality and style. Towel racks, soap dispensers, and bath mats should all complement your chosen fixtures. Look for sustainable materials and designs that align with your overall bathroom aesthetic.

Choosing Fixtures for Different Bathroom Types

Every bathroom in your home may have unique requirements. Let's explore the considerations for different bathroom types:

Master Bathroom: For your master bathroom, prioritize comfort and luxury. Consider dual-sink vanities, spacious showers, and a bathtub if space allows.

Guest Bathroom: Guest bathrooms should be functional and easy to maintain. Opt for durable fixtures and a neutral design that appeals to a wide range of tastes.

Powder Room: Powder rooms are often small, so choose space-saving fixtures and accessories. A stylish faucet and a unique mirror can make a statement.

8 Tips for choosing the right plumbing fixtures for your bathroom shower

1. Determine Your Budget

Before you start shopping for plumbing fixtures, establish a clear budget. Fixtures can range from budget-friendly to high-end luxury, so knowing your spending limit will narrow down your options and prevent overspending.

2. Consider Water Efficiency

Water efficiency is not only environmentally responsible but also cost-effective in the long run. Look for fixtures with the Waterhens label, which indicates they meet specific water conservation standards. Low-flow showerheads and faucets can significantly reduce water consumption without compromising water pressure.

3. Choose a Showerhead Style

Showerheads come in various styles, each offering a unique showering experience:

Rainfall Showerhead: Provides a gentle, cascading flow of water for a soothing experience.

Handheld Showerhead: Offers flexibility and convenience, allowing you to direct the water where you need it.

Standard Wall-Mounted Showerhead: A classic choice that provides a consistent water stream.

Consider your preferences and needs when selecting the style that suits you best. Some showers even combine multiple types for a versatile experience.

4. Think About Shower Faucets and Controls

The type of faucet and control system you choose can impact the ease of use and functionality of your shower. Options include:

Single-handle Faucet: Offers simplicity and easy temperature control.

Thermostatic Valve: Maintains a consistent water temperature, preventing sudden temperature fluctuations.

Pressure-Balancing Valve: Ensures stable water pressure, even when other fixtures are in use in your home.

Select a faucet and control system that aligns with your desired shower experience and safety preferences.

5. Match Your Bathroom Style

Your bathroom's overall style and aesthetics should guide your fixture choices. Whether your bathroom has a traditional, modern, or eclectic design, there are fixtures available to complement your décor. Consider finishes like chrome, brushed nickel, or oil-rubbed bronze to match your bathroom's color scheme.

6. Test Functionality

When shopping for shower fixtures, don't hesitate to physically interact with the displays. Test the handles, knobs, and showerheads to ensure they feel comfortable and function smoothly. This hands-on approach can help you identify fixtures that meet your ergonomic preferences.

7. Seek Professional Advice

If you're uncertain about which plumbing fixtures are best for your bathroom shower, consult with a professional plumber. They can provide expert guidance based on your specific needs, local water regulations, and plumbing requirements. In Seattle, for example, plumbers in Seattle can offer valuable insights into fixtures that work well in the city's unique plumbing landscape.

8. Read Reviews and Recommendations

Before making your final decision, read online reviews and seek recommendations from friends, family, or online forums. Hearing about others' experiences with specific fixtures can help you make an informed choice

Conclusions

Infinite Task #5; 'the genius cave'

cool greys. snake habitats. constantly cleaning up cat hair. concrete and wooden floors. the slight scent of marijuana. gentle television static. rain tapping against big windows. modern industrialism. musky candles. weighted blankets. a bed rarely slept in. little remnants of her. the gentle purr of felines. anime posters. manga murals. paint stains. charcoal smudges. ash trays. lighter baskets. comic book shelves. studio spaces.

malachi lives in a converted warehouse that was split into two town homes after it's closure in 2011, that he now shares with his current girlfriend. it blends industrial and modern notes with the dusky 'back alley' feeling of being 'downtown' in a large city. ducked off on the edge of seoul, the only access point to his unit specifically is lined by a dark alley only large enough for only bumper to bumper, linear vehicle travel. a pinpad covers the door, a code only five people have access too and no, that doesn't include his mother. inside you'll find a space that just recently has started to look like someone's home. concrete walls and iron like accents for light fixtures and windows. his kitchen and bathroom match the sleek grey almost 'ikeaic' scandonavian style seen often in the us, muddled into a more korean-japanese traditional modern style. you'll find the remnants of torn sketch papers, and unfinished manga, along with murals he'd painted himself upon moving in of some of his favorite characters. a wall in his room is covered with clippings from ruined mangas and comics that he could salvage, almost paying homage to his childhood. (thanks jaime :)) ). in other corners you can find pieces of him that express he's a chicago native. bulls, bears, and cubs memorabilia. kanye, juice wrld, king von etc tributes in those same places. he keeps it kind of tidy, and often only spends time in his room or in the previously shared outside space. its not much, but what was once a meet up spot between him and his homely neighbor has now turn into his personal smoke spot, when his anxiety starts to thunder in, and he's no where to be found? ask ilsu to check there, you'll find him.

#xx. aesthetic #infinite:task005 #infinite:task #xx. task #his was the hardest thing i've ever had to do #why are there no aesthetic stuff for boy rooms that isn't icky???

Top Bathroom Refurbishment Trends in London for 2024: What Homeowners Need to Know

As we head into 2024, bathroom refurbishment is taking a bold step forward in London with trends that blend luxury with functionality. Gone are the days of simple, white-tiled bathrooms; the modern bathroom is now a statement of style, sophistication, and personal expression. Homeowners are embracing a variety of new materials, colours, and textures to create spaces that reflect their unique tastes. Here are the top bathroom refurbishment trends in London for 2024 that every homeowner should know.

Coloured Brassware

Traditionally, brassware such as taps, showerheads, and handles have been confined to chrome, stainless steel, or brushed nickel finishes. However, 2024 is seeing a significant shift towards coloured brassware. Bold hues like matte black, gold, rose gold, and even powder-coated colours are entering modern bathrooms.

Why Coloured Brassware?

Coloured brassware adds a unique touch of personality and elegance to any bathroom. Gold and brass finishes bring warmth and luxury, while black adds a sleek, modern edge. Rose gold, on the other hand, offers a softer, more romantic aesthetic, perfect for those seeking a luxurious yet understated look.

Incorporating coloured brassware allows homeowners to elevate their bathroom's design, adding a focal point that complements other elements like tiling or furniture. Paired with minimalistic or industrial designs, coloured brassware is a standout feature that transforms even the most modest bathroom into a high-end space.

Fluted Textures

Textures have become integral to bathroom design, and fluted textures are at the forefront of this trend. Fluted surfaces, characterized by vertically ribbed or grooved patterns, appear in everything from vanity units to shower screens and wall panels.

Why Fluted Textures?

Fluted textures add dimension and depth to a bathroom, creating visual interest while maintaining a soft, elegant look. This trend works well in traditional and contemporary bathrooms, allowing homeowners to add a subtle, tactile element without overwhelming the space. Whether through cabinetry, tiles, or glass screens, fluted textures can break up the monotony of flat surfaces, making the bathroom feel more dynamic and inviting.

For those who want to maintain a neutral colour palette but still crave a touch of sophistication, fluted textures are the perfect way to add interest without relying on bold patterns or colours.

Wetrooms

Wetrooms continue to dominate bathroom refurbishment projects in London. They offer a sleek, open-plan design that maximizes space and accessibility. A wetroom is essentially a fully waterproofed bathroom, with the shower area seamlessly integrated into the rest of the room.

Why Wetrooms?

Wetrooms are ideal for small spaces, as they eliminate the need for bulky shower enclosures, creating a more streamlined and spacious look. Additionally, they are efficient for those looking to future-proof their homes, as wetrooms are accessible and easy to maintain. With their minimalist appeal, wetrooms suit modern bathroom designs but can also be customized to traditional styles.

High-quality waterproofing and drainage systems are critical to a successful wetroom. Homeowners increasingly opt for large-format tiles, minimal grout lines, and built-in storage solutions to ensure their stylish and functional wetrooms.

Coloured Furniture

Coloured bathroom furniture returns in 2024, allowing homeowners to inject personality and style into their designs. While white and wood finishes have long been the go-to, 2024 is seeing a rise in bolder, more adventurous colour choices.

Why Coloured Furniture?

From deep blues and forest greens to soft pastels and muted greys, coloured bathroom furniture allows for greater creativity and personalization. Coloured cabinetry, vanities, and shelving units can act as statement pieces, adding fun and individuality to the space. For those who prefer a more neutral bathroom, coloured furniture offers a way to introduce a pop of colour without overwhelming the entire room.

Additionally, coloured furniture pairs well with other design elements, such as brassware, tiles, and wall coverings, making it a versatile choice for both modern and traditional bathroom styles.

Designer Radiators

Gone are the days when radiators were purely functional and unattractive. Designer radiators, offering style and practicality, are becoming a staple in bathroom refurbishments.

Why Designer Radiators?

Modern designer radiators come in various styles, finishes, and shapes, allowing them to blend seamlessly into any bathroom design. Designer radiators are now integral to the overall bathroom aesthetic, from sleek, vertical models in matte black or chrome to more sculptural options in vibrant colours.

Not only do these radiators add visual interest, but they also offer efficient heating solutions, often incorporating towel rails for added functionality. Designer radiators are a must-have for homeowners looking to upgrade their bathrooms with both luxury and practicality.

Playful Wallpaper

Wallpaper is coming back in bathrooms, but this time with a playful twist. Bold patterns, vibrant colours, and quirky designs are all being embraced to add personality and fun to bathroom spaces.

Why Playful Wallpaper?

While tiles have long been the dominant wall covering in bathrooms, 2024 is seeing an increase in the use of wallpaper to create feature walls or to add a touch of whimsy to the space. Waterproof wallpaper is specially designed for bathroom use, meaning homeowners can incorporate playful prints without worrying about water damage.

Playful wallpaper, such as jungle prints, geometric patterns, or abstract designs, can transform a simple bathroom into a statement space. It's perfect for those looking to inject fun and creativity into their home design, especially in guest bathrooms or powder rooms.

Curves

Curves are making their way into bathroom design, offering a softer, more organic feel than the sharp lines and angles traditionally seen in modern bathrooms. This trend is about creating a more relaxed and fluid space, from curved bathtubs and mirrors to rounded vanity units and sinks.

Why Curves?

Curved elements in a bathroom can create a sense of calm and serenity, making the space feel more inviting and less clinical. Curves work particularly well in smaller bathrooms, where harsh angles can cramp the space. Homeowners can achieve a more open and fluid design by incorporating curved shapes.

Curved mirrors, basins, and shower screens offer a modern take on bathroom design, combining style and functionality. The organic shapes are visually pleasing and help create a sense of movement and flow within the room.

Dramatic Wetwall and Panelling

Wetwalls and panelling are becoming a popular alternative to traditional tiles, offering a sleek, seamless, practical, and stylish look. In 2024, we're seeing a shift towards more dramatic designs, with bold colours, textures, and patterns making their way into bathroom spaces.

Why Dramatic Wetwall and Panelling?

Wetwalls and panelling are durable and easy to clean, making them practical choices for busy bathrooms. However, in 2024, homeowners will opt for more dramatic designs, such as dark marble effects, bold geometric patterns, or metallic finishes.

These bold designs add a touch of luxury and sophistication to the bathroom, creating a stylish and functional focal point. Wetwalls are also a great way to make a seamless, waterproof finish in wetrooms or shower areas, adding to their practicality.

Backlit Mirrors

Backlit mirrors are continuing to gain popularity in bathroom refurbishments. They offer both style and functionality. These mirrors are equipped with LED lighting around the edges, creating a soft, ambient glow that enhances the overall bathroom design.

Why Backlit Mirrors?

Backlit mirrors add a touch of luxury to the bathroom and provide practical lighting for tasks such as shaving or applying makeup. The soft, even lighting eliminates harsh shadows, creating a more flattering reflection. In addition, backlit mirrors can help make small bathrooms feel more extensive and open by providing additional light without the need for bulky fixtures.

Backlit mirrors come in various shapes and sizes, from sleek, modern designs to more traditional options, making them a versatile choice for any bathroom style.

Tile Trends – Geometric Patterns, Textures, Metro Subway, and Large Format
