Common Feelings

Clarissa x Preston

Clarissa sat on the edge of her bed, "dear! Are you ready?" her mother shouted, Clarissa never answered as she looked up from her phone, her eyes raising to the vanity mirror in front of her as she glanced at the pale pink dress that hung off her shoulders, platinum hair curled at the ends and her bangs on the right side, pinned back with a diamond jeweled barrette. She was ready. But she hated it. Inhaling, Clarissa bounced to her white heels, as she shoved her phone into her leather jacket and walked down the stairs. The only time she really saw her parents was when they had to make an appearance for gala's, charity events, and the country club, and boy did she hate all of it.

Her parents never paid attention to her, why did she have to go to these stupid events?

The question always pulled at the back of her mind, but she never talked about it, "Dear!" her mother shouted again.

"Don't yell, the whole world can hear you," Clarissa snapped back as she walked past her parent and to the car before jumping into the back seat, her father sitting at the wheel, while her mother with a disgusted look on her face got into the passengers.

The drive was long, almost an hour away and across town, but they made it to the charity event, "come on let's get going," her dad said as the parked the car and handed the keys to the valet, inhaling Clarissa looked up at the massive building, her stomach dropped as she swallowed hard, she hated these events, too many people, way out of her comfort zone, no place to hide. With a shaky hand, Clarissa got out of the vehicle, and shut the door, today was about donations, but also an auction for somebody with Cancer or something, she didn't really know, these weren't her friends.

Walking in with her family, Clarissa stuck to the back, walking behind them, her hands shoved into the leather pockets, as the breeze kicked up, "I'll take your jacket Miss Coldshore," a man said as he held out his hands, her parents jackets already draped around his arms, Clarissa shot the back of their heads with a look of disgust.

"I'm okay, thank you," she added as she walked up the steps, the music from the live band already playing, all while chatter bounced around the massive room, co-partners, CEO's of companies, all talked to one another, and just like that, Clarissa was out of the loop. She stood frozen as she looked around, snobby, stuck up, good for nothing children to these air heads, talked amongst themselves, three separate groups, it reminded her of school, but instead of her being the popular kid; here, well, here she was the outsider, she felt like she didn't fit in.

Inhaling, Clarissa looked around, looking for anywhere she could disappear too, bathrooms were gross, held too many germs, and if she were to step outside she'd be asked to return to the party, but also strangers would be looking at her, and she didn't want that.

"You lost?" a voice from behind her spoke, and Clarissa turned around, stepping back a good foot before she looked at the young man with a mop of ginger/brown hair.

"Are you lost?" she asked she copied, "your party is further in, why are you out of the ring of socialization?" she jabbed.

"Just got 're, I've not seen ya much around these events, are ya new?" he asked yet another question.

"No. Just hate these events, held at different locations every year, special invitations sent out to each family, trust me, I'm not new 'er" she folded her arms.

"I'm Preston Adaline,"

"And I could care two shits who you are,"

"Oh come now, don't be like that, I'm trying to be friendly, change the conversation," Preston stepped a foot closer, to which Clarissa took a step back, "I'm not some kind a freak y'know, you can talk to me," he added and Clarissa frowned.

'I just want out of here,' she thought before she inhaled, looked at Preston and exhaled, this sucked, but at least it was something to keep her kind off of this ridiculous parade of 'who can stand out the most with money' shit. "Clarissa Coldshore," the girl spoke before pulling her hands from her pockets and dropped them to her side, "can we move off to the side my feet are starting to hurt standing around waiting for something interesting to happen."

Preston nodded his head and gestured to the side, "after you" he said and the pair walked off to the side. "So what's your family do?" he asked.

"Don't know, don't care, they ditched me for this shit as soon as we got in," Clarissa looked around, she wished she was old enough to enjoy these events, drinking. But here, she had to be on her best behavior for her families image, "what about you?" she asked pulling at the skirt of her dress.

"my parents own an athletic company, half the girls here I've been on dates with..." Preston sighed, "for my parents..." he added as he looked around the room, the chattering seemed to have picked up more as people joined.

"Yuck, and you had to come here?" she asked, "I'm sorry dude, that's sounds lame," Clarissa rolled her eyes, "my parents are just rich, I don't know what they do, I don't know anybody here, not by name nor by what company they own, they keep me out of the loop," she looked at him, "so you chose to talk to me because I'm not one of the few you've dated?"

"That, and well, y'know, you seem really cool," Preston added as he leaned up against the wall and Clarissa laughed softly.

"You're really dorky," she said with a small smile as the music started to change, and young adults began to flood the dance floor.

"Let us, the dork and the cool kid, dance then," Preston held out his hand as he looked toward the stage and then toward her, "one dance wouldn't kill us, and we'll we are both bored of the people around us, for different reasons," he chuckled and Clarissa took his hand.

"After this, it'll be on me, but can we get ice cream around the corner?" Clarissa asked and Preston nodded his head as they tightened their hold and headed off to the stage.

We live inside a dream! This week, Peaches and Michael are having some coffee and cherry pie in celebration of 1992’s TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME! In addition to discussing David Lynch’s symbolic smashing of the television set, our hosts delve into the importance of giving Laura Palmer life. Joining the conversation is acclaimed filmmaker Ariel Sinelnikoff, whose constantly evolving relationship with the town of Twin Peaks continues to inform her own work. Then, award-winning artist Drusilla Adeline stops by to explore the film’s nonlinear approach to narrative…and human nature. From Garmonbozia to David Bowie, this episode has it all! Go!

MALE CHARACTERS [batch I]

SYNOPSIS... Valentine's Deals you say? Well... We do have a special tea brew just for the occasion!

CHARACTERS... diluc, zhongli, ayato, alhaitham (al-haitham), childe, xiao, kazuha,

DISCLAIMERS... fem/afab reader, valentine's special! This is the batch, and batch II will be genshin's most popular females. Xiao's part has a bathing scene, and Kazuha's has a flute playing reader.

BARISTA'S INTEL... I went after the most popular characters so I apologize if your favorite isn't on here... blame google statistics... And also, I may have chosen a song that sounded 100% like Diluc singing it, am I simp? Yes.

CAFE TUNE... Sway // Michael Buble

DILUC RAGNVINDR

The manor shines like jewels across the grassy plains of Mondstadt. Sunrise rays reflecting off it's clear windows. A beautiful morning, only right for such a sweet day.

Waking up, you shift towards your left, the bed creaks under your body, as you search lazily for your husband. Mind still groggy from the morning rising.

"Diluc?..." you call, finding that your side has been left by your husband. Startled, you rise, searching frantically for your lover.

"Diluc?... Did you leave for work again?", disappointment laces your face, your eyes furrowing as you begin to rise. It seems that even on the day of love, your own lover holds no bias.

Throughout the day, the glistening hope you had held that Diluc would come home, began to fade. The day goes by slowly, as you drag your burdens on your shoulders through the city of Monstadt, watching as lovers and friends a like smile and jump for joy as they receive flowers. But, Valentine's Day doesn't have to be lonely... Right? You don't have to depend on Diluc. You've got Klee! The sweetest girl in the world!

Except that Klee is with the Dragonspine Alchemist that Kaeya speaks fondly of...

The day seems to pass slowly, sun to moon, your mind is preoccupied... Your legs carrying you like feathers, threatening to snap at any moment. Sadness carries your body like a leash, leading you through out the day, gloomy under the lack of your lover. Perhaps it had been to much to hope he would put aside work for you... Arriving at the Manor, you open the door,

"Adeline... Could you please prepare a salt bath? It's been a rough day..."

"The maids of all left to celebrate the occasion dove... Are you alright?" Warm hands wrap around your waist, grasping at it slowly as your lifted off your feet. Oh, your wide awake now.

You look down to see Diluc, a soft smile fading onto his lips as he holds you up, large hands firmly gripping at your body as he speaks.

"Happy Valentine's, now, I believe we are due for a 5 star homecooked meal my love."

And a saccharine smile blooms across your face, face lining with wrinkles from your joy, as you grasp his face within your hands. <3

ZHONGLI A.K.A MORAX

The consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor walks across the bustling city of Liyue. Left free from his tasks, his eyes gaze upon the sales of the day.

It seems that many of the shops have opened sales, tempting, and appropriate for that of Valentine's Day. Who was he to deny the offer?

"Greetings Mr. Shitou, if you don't mind, I would like to see the wares you have for today..."

"Ah! Mr. Zhongli, what a pleasure to see you here again! Yes, yes, we do have some lovely jewelry for the day of love sir!"

Shitou opens a case, glittering black it shines in the afternoon sunlight; setting out three pieces of jewelry that shine across the table. Eye-catching to any and every that passes. Studying his selection of choices, Zhongli examines the cut of each jewel, from swiss to dahlia, before his eyes lay upon a particular necklace. Refined it is, a green jade glistening in the rays of sunlight, the gold around it embracing it like a newbord.

"This necklace... The quality is indeed impeccable... I will take it!"

"Lovely choice sir! Would you also like our special packaging just for this Valentines? It'll only cost another 10 mora!"

Of course... Only the finest material for his lover. How could he refuse. Zhongli returns that night, presenting his gift, towards his lover, who only deserves the best of the best.

AYATO KAMISATO

Kamisato Ayato craves nothing more but to be within the soft comforting touch of your body. To find his solace in your own, to wrap his arms around your waist and curl you up into his own body.

But... The duties of a Commissioner do not cease.

His eyes wear tiredly, drained and dragged downwards by the extent of his work.

"Sir Kamisato, your wife has registered a room within the Komore Teahouse and has put it on your tab. She had told the staff to personally deliver this purchase to you..." his right-hand calls calls, poise and proper as a small awkward chuckle lifts from his lips.

Ayato is no fool. He knows your games, and like a fish to bait, he plays along.

"Thank you Thoma, I will... Deal with the message accordingly." The Commisioner chuckles, his eyes darting playfully towards his servant as he watches the blonde fidget from the clear daring intent of the message.

Excusing the poor victim, Ayato lifts from his seat. Body crackling as his bones unstiffen. Free from it's bonds of constriction.

Poise and elegant, the Kamisato greets Taroumarou at the front, closing the door behind him to avoid the gazes of the public.

"Why hello there Taroumarou... Would you happen to know which room [Y/n] ordered herself?"

"Woof woof! Woof!"

"Room 7? Why thank you kind sir." Ayato teases. How he understands the animal, is out of his understanding...

Walking down the hallway, he knocks on the door, before entering in, pleasantly surprised to be greeted by your smile, cheerfully lit in the yellow light of the sectioned off tea room.

"Ayato! Ayato! Come sit, I knew you would come to find me. Lay down, allow me to massage your back and relax. You've been working to hard..." you call, patting your lap with your hand, motioning -also- to the warm cup of tea that sits freshly prepared right in front of you.

Kamisato Ayato smiles sweetly. How lucky he is to have a wife so endearing. And so, on the night of White day, Kamisato Ayato breathes freedom, and he is grateful for your gift of comfort.

ALHAITHAM / AL-HAITHAM

The humid sweet air of Sumeru makes its presence known throughout the tavern. The scent of sweet muddled berries and alcohol combined entices the men and women alike. Like sticky honey, the people swarm like bees.

Sitting across, you gaze lovingly towards the man. The -newly recruited- Acting Grand Sage. Who glares back at you unwavering as the drinks are poured beside you both.

"What is it that you find so peculiar about my face that entices you to constantly glare at me?" Alhaitham speaks, his slim hands grasping over the drinks to pass over to you.

"I'm not glaring! I just think you have very... Distinguished facial features. Frankly, it's quite the worthy trait!" You argue, smiling at the gesture of the drink as you sip on it. The spicy and sweet taste of alcohol rushing over your senses.

"There is nothing interesting about my face... It is simply fresh from constant morning washes."

"Only you would brag so carelessly about clear skin dear Alhaitham..." you mutter, now glaring playfully at the Sage.

Maybe it was the trick of the light, but from your seat, you swore you saw the faintest hue of rosy pink against the tip of his cheeks.

"Tch... If that's all you have to argue about my facial features... Then perhaps I have won this debate by default." He grins, twirling the frosted glass of alcohol in his hand; defined by veins that just barely crawl towards the tips of his fingers. His other hand, placed boredly against his cheek.

Perhaps he was fishing for compliments...

"Well fine! To start, you have beautiful emerald eyes! Perhaps it is an acquired taste... But I find them quite the attractive feature. Furthermore, you also have the coolest gaze, like a fox from the lands of Inazuma... Not only that, but you have the softest looking cheeks!"

Alhaitham pauses.

"...Softest?..."

"Of course! Your cheeks are adorable! Like a little child, I just want to squish them!" You giggle, taking another sip of your beverage.

"[Y/n]... Perhaps the alcohol has gotten to your head..." he states, his voice meekly hinting concern.

"No... I think I'm alright... It's only been an hour..."

"No... I think that's enough for the night. The Akademiya does not heed its progress because of one drunken student..." He responses, pulling your now empty glass away from you as he sets out the mora for the bill. Sliding his body towards yours as he lifts your now weakened state up.

"Come on... I'll walk you home."

"When did you become such a gentlemen?! Are you sure you don't plan to just walk yourself home and leave me stranded?"

The Sage does not respond. Already supporting your body against his own as he steadies himself. Had you not been so drunk... You may have been able to witness the pink hue on the Grand Sage's soft cheeks.

What a shame...

CHILDE / TARTAGLIA / AJAX

The smell of baked apples blossoms out of your mud oven. It's aromatic scent spreading like fire across your home. The cold Sneznhayan air clouded over, protecting your home like a blanket.

The sound of the door creaking draws your attention away, like a bird call.

"Ajax! Is that you?" You call, hastily throwing your mittens to the table as you run towards your husband.

"Hey girlie, what's got you so excited? Miss your great and formidable husband already?" He chuckles, throwing his bow and sword which bounce nimbly of the wooden floors.

You glare at him playfully, nudging his shoulder as you pull him away from the door.

"The house smells good... What did you make? I also got you some fish personally lined in by yours only!" He grins, roughed up hands tugging at a course bag that drags heavy by weight.

You can't see him, back turned to him as you pull out the apple pie but...

You know, he has those sweet Azul eyes, gazing at you like a puppy. Endearment practically pooling out of them... Has he trenches into your shared home. Bag over shoulder, work clothes stained red.

But it doesn't matter. He is with you, by your side, and alive, and that is all that matters to you.

XIAO / ALATUS

The translucent colors of rainbow are etched out in front of him, their life beginning and ending; he thinks.

The night is young, the calls of the wind usher him, but he is unable to answer.

"Xiao... Are you alright? Bubble baths are supposed to be fun... Not a way for you to test your death stare..." You inquire, melodic voice lacing with concern.

His back is too you, and for this he is grateful... Xiao does not know why, but his face burns, not a sharp pain, but a fleeting burn, one that spreads like wildfire across the whole of his complexion.

"I am not "death staring" anything mortal... Dare you accuse the Adepti of such trivial things?!"

"I am no mortal Xiao... And even you know it..." You hum, your voice gaining closer to him, until it is right at his ear...

He does not reply. Scared that his own voice may waver in the heat of the moment. He feels your soft hands rubbing against his body, massaging all his aches and wounds he never knew were there.

For a while... No one says a word, not the trees, not him, and not you.

He likes it better this way, he thinks. The way your body is so close to his, as he watches the bubbles in front of him fade away slowly, popping every second.

He likes it this way, he knows. How you stay your distance, but soothe him, nonetheless. How you begin to hum your signature tranquilizing tune, slowly eases the aches of his Adeptal body out of him.

Xiao does not know love. And he does know humans.

But you aren't human... You are a divinity.

And he will forever love you for it.

KAZUHA KAEDEHARA

Kazuha lays comfortably beside you, back supported against the dark tree trunk.

He listens to the winds, that hum to your tune, as he watches you play the flute. Watching as your nimble fingers flick upwards and back down, sending forth the sound of the hollow wooden instrument.

Your eyes are closed, entranced by the music that you play. Soul and body devoted to your craft. When, unfortunately, the song comes to it's ending.

"So? Any thoughts dear Ronin?"

"None at all my dove... Your music is as enchanting as ever..." He murmurs sweetly, reaching out to pull your hand into his own, curling the tips of his fingers around yours.

"You flatter me to much Kazuha... Surely there was some sort of noticeable mistake?" You mutter, glancing at him and then your captured hand.

"None at all... None at all." He says, reaching out.

His hands clasps against your cheeks, the fresh spring Sakura petals falling around you and him. He smiles, like nothing else matters.

As if you are his world. And him, yours.

And perhaps that is true... As you nuzzle yourself into his grasp, laying your face against his rough hands, scattered with scars, but still your home.

And your forever world.

SPECIAL BREWS...

Room 7 // a reference to Japan's beliefs of the lucky number 7, which is tied to prosperity and Buddhist tales

Apple Pie // snow white reference, and a symbolic way to represent the red color commonly seen for Valentine's day and love

White Day // the more commonly celebrated holiday in Japan instead of Valentines. the day traditionally is a holiday towards the female partners of the relationship gifting their lovers a present and appreciating them (like [Y/n's] gift of comfort to Ayato)

BARISTA'S INQUIREMENT... Late Valentine's Day post because I was out on a date but!! Hope you enjoyed, have constructive criticism? Please do tell! I haven't written fluff in a long while... Also I may or may have not been biased towards Al-haitham's part...

Some more for the Glamrock Freddy Through the Ball Pit au

Afton family history:

William Afton left England at 18 (1966) to get away from his parents and go to collage in America. He’s studying engineering.

William and Henry share an apartment and a love of machines. It’s not long before they’re plotting to open a restaurant with animatronics. The sketches and beginnings of Freadbear and Springbonnie begin.

William meets Carmen Hernandez in 1968. Carmen is en route to becoming an actress. She introduces Ada Jones (later Ada Emily) to Henry later that year.

Carmen gets pregnant so William marries her, and Michael Fritz Afton is born in 1970.

Carmen leaves Mike and William in 1971, a couple months after Michael’s first birthday, not wanting to be tied down with kids before her acting career even starts.

William and baby Mike move in with Henry and a now pregnant Ada. Ada watches Michael while William and Henry get Fredbear’s Diner up and running.

Ada introduces William to Clara Durand in 1973. They get married a year later. Mike is 4, Charlotte “Charlie” is 2 and a very cute flower girl.

Elizabeth Adeline Afton is born in 1975.

Evan James Afton is born in 1976.

Ada and Claire are in a car accident, hit by a drunk driver and die in 1978. By now the diner is booming.

Key: * = Reread ^ = Nonfiction ~ = Read with Empty % = Novella #= Doc book club

My goal for 2024 is for 40% of my reads to be nonfiction. I've had two years within the recent past where I managed 20% of my reads to be nonfiction, so I'm aiming to double that. THIS WILL BE HARD FOR ME! Not because I don't enjoy nonfiction but because I enjoy fiction a lot more and have a lot more practice reading it. Haha Also for me, I am in circles where I'm just going to have more awareness of fictional books that I'm likely to enjoy more so than nonfiction. I'm kind of hoping that this years journey will change that a bit too!

Okay, below the cut I'm putting the nonfiction books on my tbr, most of which I have the lovely people of Tumblr to thank for the recommendations!

I will actually add to this list as I get more recs and whatnot. And I still have some coming which I ordered from Thriftbooks. Once those are here, I'll add those. I'm a little sad there aren't more memoirs, but there's plenty of time for that yet! This is already 37 books, and given lately I've been reading about 70 (nonfiction may slow me down tho), these should give me plenty of ability to reach my 40% goal. Now it's just a matter of if I do it XD
