Masterlist

'Will you be my plus one?'

Sihtric muttered something while you batted your lashes at him from across the kitchen. His hair was long and messy, his face rather pale and his heavy eyes were desperately trying to stay open, while he was shirtless yet comfortably looking in just his grey sweatpants.

'Pleaaaase?' you hopped over to him, 'I mean, you even look like him since you grew your hair out,' you grinned.

'What?' Sihtric blinked, dumbfounded, 'is that why you wanted me to grow my hair out again? So I could look like some… some random dude?'

'He's not some random dude, okay,' you said, annoyed, 'his name is Andrew.'

'Andrew? I thought his name was Hozier.'

'That's one of his names, and his stage name-'

'Andrew,' Sihtric scoffed, 'I don't look like Andrew,' he said, mocking the name.

'Siht,' you groaned and pouted, 'please, babe, please be my plus one to the show?'

Sihtric sighed as he stirred his coffee, then raked his fingers through his loose hair and shuffled to the couch while he was still waking up.

It was a Sunday morning, the last day of the year. Your boyfriend was trying to deal with his hangover from the previous night of going out drinking, and getting awfully close to that Mc Donald's he was banned from, while you had been going on and on about some concert as soon as he had opened his eyes half an hour ago.

'Why do you want to go and see that Andrew guy so badly anyway?' he asked as he sat down on your couch.

'Because,' you plunged down next to him, 'he's my favourite artist and I won free tickets. Free! I never win anything and now I won two tickets! Come on, it will be fun. You know the music and you said you even liked it-'

'Honey,' Sihtric interrupted and rubbed his forehead as a headache taunted him, 'just because we bang to his music doesn't mean I enjoy the music. You really think I actually pay attention to the music when I'm railing you?'

You clicked your tongue and rolled your eyes.

'Look, the show is until eleven, so we're home by midnight again and we can even stop by Mc Donald's. You have two options, we're either going to see Hozier's new year's eve show together, or we spend the entire evening at my parents' house. And you know how much my mom loves you-'

'Fine!' Sihtric huffed, 'I'll be your plus one.'

'Yay!' you squealed and wrapped your arms around his neck to kiss his cheek, 'but we still have to stop by my parents before we go to the show.'

'Oh, come on!'

Much to your mother's disgrace, you and Sihtric had been a couple for almost a year now. Every time she saw your boyfriend she had flashbacks to that time she walked in on him in your bedroom, while he was on your bed with his legs spread, completely naked, after which she had fainted. And to make everything even worse, Sihtric had indeed gotten your name tattooed on his body, just like he had told your mother before she ran out of the house that same day. You had been rather shocked at the sudden reveal of your name on the front of his left hip, one of the few spots he hadn't fully inked yet by then, but you had known Sihtric for quite some time and knew he was as impulsive as he was smitten with you. So you had just accepted the fact that you'd see your own name whenever you'd get down on your knees for him, which was rather often, and you grew to love the idea that you had sort of claimed him that way. And Sihtric was proudly showing off your name on his body too whenever he took a shirtless mirror selfie for his instagram, pushing his boxers down just far enough.

Your mother already wasn't Sihtric's biggest fan since she first met him, at the wedding of your aunt and uncle when you only pretended to be a couple, but she thought he looked even more like the savage that he was, according to her, when he grew out his hair over time. She thought he was "alright" when he had it braided or tied back, but she couldn't stop giving him disapproving looks when he just had it loose. And unfortunately for your mother, it was your favourite look, so when you visited them before going to the concert, his hair was loose and looking rather wild as the wind had blown through his locks when he got out of the car.

When you visited your parents to wish them an early happy new year, your mother couldn't stop glaring at Sihtric, as she felt like he had put in no effort whatsoever to try and look decent. You noticed she was giving Sihtric the side eye the entire time you were there. Her left eye twitched at the sight of his hair and his half unbuttoned black blouse, which showed off his Mjölnir pendant, the tattoos on his chest and also those on his arms, as he had the sleeves rolled up. She shuddered at the sight of his black skinny jeans and the way he was manspreading right across from her, which made her think of that awful time she walked in on him, and she swallowed hard at the thought of what a creature like him would do to her innocent daughter. His black leather boots with the untied laces was something she just sighed and rolled her eyes to, and the way he was eating all the snacks that were placed on the salon table made her feel sick, for she still thought he ate like a pig, and she wasn't completely wrong about the eating part. She excused herself to the bathroom, and as your father was occupied by watching a Rolling Stones concert on tv, you looked at your boyfriend who sat beside you.

'Sihtric,' you hissed quietly as you kicked his ankle, 'stop shoving down the food like that.'

'Like what?' Sihtric asked, offended, with his mouth full while he held two more slices of bread in one hand and a cheese spread in his other, 'I'm hungry, babe.'

'You're always hungry,' you sighed, 'how you are keeping your body in shape is simply beyond me.'

'It's because of the lots of sex with you,' Sihtric shrugged, which unfortunately your mother heard as she had entered the room again and froze.

'Oh,' you gasped when you saw her, then coughed, 'I- I…,' you cleared your throat awkwardly while Sihtric stuffed his mouth once again, and you decided to get yourself a drink.

'Can you pour me some wine, honey?' Sihtric asked, again with his mouth full.

'No, you can't drink,' you said, 'you're driving.'

'What?' Sihtric scoffed, 'you mean I have to endure that Andrew guy and I can't even drink?'

'You know very well that I hate driving in the dark, babe,' you smiled and blew him a kiss, then poured him some water instead of the wine he asked and longed for.

'Andrew?' your mother frowned.

'Hozier, mom. Sihtric is just jealous of some guy I can never have,' you said as you made your way back to Sihtric.

'Hozier,' your mother said as she followed and sat down, 'I have heard of him. Didn't he have that song about Church?'

'Yes,' you nodded.

'A fine Christian man,' your mother smiled, satisfied that her daughter listened to such decent music.

Sihtric looked up and furrowed his brow.

'Honey, isn't that song about-'

'A fine Christian man,' you agreed as you kicked Sihtric's ankle again. Your mother did not need to know the truth about that song.

'Yes, he is,' your mother continued, 'I saw him on tv the other day, what a handsome man.'

'He is,' you agreed, 'hey, mom? Don't you think Sihtric looks a little like Hozier?'

Your mother stared at your savage looking boyfriend, who sat back and rubbed his stomach with a proud smile after he just finished the last snack that was on the table. She looked him up and down and made a face as she noticed the similar hair and his facial hair.

'No,' she lied curtly and then looked straight at the tv, 'ah, the Rolling Stones,' she changed the topic and nudged your father, who hadn't heard a single word of the conversation.

'Well,' you said and got up, 'we better get going. We still need to drive to the venue for the show.'

You walked up to your parents to give them a hug and wished them a happy new year. And as you went to grab your coat out of the hallway, Sihtric shook hands with your dad, who gave him a smile and a nod, and he then pulled your mother in for a tight hug, to which she almost yelped. Sihtric squeezed her in his arms with a grin and then pressed a long kiss to her cheek, and when he leaned back to see her reaction he noticed she had turned pale.

'Happy new year, mommy,' Sihtric winked, and your mother quickly grabbed onto the armrest of her chair when she felt herself on the verge of fainting again and dare she say; feeling violated at the touch of him.

'Crap,' you hissed when you stepped inside the venue.

The place was packed, which wasn't a surprise, as Hozier only played sold out venues you knew. But you had no idea it would be this crowded already when the support act was still on stage, and Sihtric frowned when he saw the disappointment on your face. He was content with the spot you were both in; it was close to the bar and he could see more of the stage than he really wanted, but when he lowered himself to look from your eye level he understood you couldn't see a thing. He looked at the bar, which was on his right, and back to you on his left, and then he sighed. He circled his arm around your waist and pulled you in so you could hear him over the music.

'Don't give me that face, sweetheart,' he said in your ear and took your hand, 'let me get a drink first, okay?'

Sihtric held your hand as he looked at the list of non-alcoholic drinks and he pouted slightly at the sight of it, to which you sighed and nudged his elbow.

'Fine, I'll drive us back home so you can have a beer or two.'

'Or five,' Sihtric mumbled.

'What?' you yelled.

'One day I'll make you my wife,' Sihtric yelled back and gave you a hug.

He ordered three beers, which he could barely carry without spilling, and one water for you. He quickly downed one beer and you already knew you were in for a night. Sihtric held his arm out to you and you grabbed onto his bicep, and he guided you further into the crowd, closer to the stage, until you told him you could see everything quite good. 

When the support act was over, and Sihtric already finished his second beer, he noticed he got quite some attention from both men and women in the surrounding crowd. At first he thought he was already tipsy and was just imagining things, but then you noticed it too and you couldn't hold your laugh when you saw his confused face.

'I told you,' you chuckled, 'you look like Hozier with your hair down like this. And your facial hair doesn't help either.'

'Is that why people are looking at me?'

'I'm pretty sure that's the reason, yep,' you grinned and wrapped your arms around him as he took the first sip of his last beer. 'They can look,' you said, your lips grazed his ear, 'but you're all mine,' you bit his ear lightly and gave his ass a quick squeeze, to which Sihtric almost choked on his drink.

'Hey, easy,' he coughed and placed his hand on the side of your neck, then leaned in, 'or I'm dragging you back to my car.'

'To do what?' you taunted as you moved your hands under his half open blouse.

You bit down on your lip and gave him an innocent, questioning look while you trailed your hands up and down his muscular, tattooed chest.

'You know I'm always hungry,' Sihtric smirked, 'and you know you're my favourite meal.'

'Oh, really?' you smiled.

'Really,' Sihtric smiled back, and he pulled your lips onto his.

You were both too caught up with each other to even care that everyone around you was probably disgusted by the way you devoured each other, and you only broke the kiss because you heard the crowd cheer and noticed the lights went out. You quickly turned to face the stage and left Sihtric hanging, and he already held a grudge to your favourite artist for that alone. Regardless, Sihtric wrapped one arm around your waist and pulled your back against his chest, and he enjoyed the rest of his beer while you looked at the stage.

You held your breath when you heard the melody to De Selby (part 1) and you screamed your lungs out with the rest of the crowd when Hozier played De Selby (part 2) right after. Sihtric shook his head lightly at the fact you screamed at the sight of a man that wasn't him, but his mind got carried away when he suddenly recognized the song that was being played. You didn't see Sihtric's sly smile behind you when he remembered the melody of the song that had been playing only a few days ago, in his kitchen, when you stayed over at his place. He remembered hearing the beat vaguely in the background while his head was between your thighs and his tongue dragging the sweetest sounds out of you. He got lost in his thoughts for a song or two, happily remembering all the intimate and sexy moments he had shared with you, until he got pulled back into the moment when he suddenly recognized another song; From Eden.

Something so wholesome about you…

Get closer to me…

Sihtric pulled you closer against him, feeling your hips sway lightly to the beat, and he smiled again as he buried his face in your neck, leaving soft kisses on your skin while you enjoyed the music. You didn't mind Sihtric was basically touching you up while you were watching and listening to your favourite musician. You loved the fact that the music you were now hearing live, with your boyfriend's arms around you, was tied to your most vulnerable moments with him, and it was simply a special and wholesome moment for you. And when To Be Alone was played you turned to face Sihtric, who had finally finished his last drink, and you wrapped your arms around his neck.

'Dance with me,' you said in his ear, and he gladly obeyed.

Sihtric placed his hands on your waist and leaned his forehead against yours, following your lead as you slowly moved your feet to the beat. You slow danced to the tune that filled the arena, and when Sihtric heard the words to the chorus he smiled when another memory played in his head.

It feels so good, girl, it feels so good…

Oh, to be alone with you…

'Do you remember this one?' you smiled as your lips grazed his ear again.

'How could I forget?' Sihtric chuckled, and his hands moved down to your buttocks, 'the way you sucked me off during that roadtrip while this song played was out of this world.'

You gave him a cheeky smile and ran your hands over his tattooed chest again, up his neck, and you pushed yourself up your tiptoes to kiss his lips. 

The first half of the concert was just perfect, and Sihtric wasn't really bothered being there either as he enjoyed the memories and seeing you smile. Until he noticed it became harder to draw your attention, and he stared at Hozier for a good few minutes with an unamused look on his face. He hated that he now sort of began to understand what you meant when you told him he kind of looked like Hozier. The hair was right, but just not as long, and his facial hair got close to that of the Irish singer too. Sihtric was tall, but Hozier was undeniably taller, which didn't bother him really because he knew he was way more muscular than that guy with his guitar. Sihtric felt himself become bitter with each cheer you gave the guy, and soon he started to roll his eyes and fake yawn every time Hozier did or said something that made the arena scream their lungs out, which included you. Sihtric just wasn't impressed anymore, he was hungry. He was hungry for you… and for some Mc Donald's. 

While you enjoyed the rest of the show Sihtric took out his phone and kept one arm around you, wanting to keep you close and also out of fear that you'd run to the stage and climb that tree of a man up there. He did a quick google search and saw that the Mc Donald's on the way back home was open past midnight, even on new year's eve, and he already couldn't wait to get out of the venue and order dozens of nuggets. But when Sihtric saw the time, he realised he had at least another half hour of watching the love of his life look at that Andrew dude with hearts in her eyes, and he just wasn't having it. 

He became rather oblivious to the music, which was also what always happened whenever you two were intimate while the music played, and you felt his hands roam over your body. You enjoyed his warm touch and the feeling of his lips on your neck and shoulders, all while you kept your eyes on the other long haired man in front of you, and a quick fantasy of a threesome made your knees weak. It was only when you felt Sihtric's hand slide up under your skirt that you suddenly snapped back to reality and turned around.

'Babe,' you chuckled, 'what are you doing? We're in public.'

'Then let's get out of here,' Sihtric murmured in your ear, 'hm? Let's fuck in my car, honey bun.'

'What? No! The show's not over yet.'

You gave him a confused look and attempted to turn around, but Sihtric stopped you and grabbed your face, gently.

'I'll give you a show,' he said before he kissed you hard.

'Honey,' you laughed and took a slight step back, 'I know you will. But the concert is almost over, okay? We'll leave right away. Just let me enjoy this.'

You turned your back to Sihtric, who huffed and clenched his jaw while he glared at the man on stage. He wrapped his arms around you again and held you firmly pressed against his chest as his lips found your ear.

'You keeping those heels on for me tonight, bunny?' he husked.

You shook your head and rolled your eyes at his desperate attempt for attention, but you were determined to see this show til the very end, so you didn't respond. Which only riled your infamous boyfriend up even more. He trailed his hand down your arm, took your hand and guided it behind your back. He pressed the palm of your hand against his crotch, where you felt his hardening cock.

'Keep looking at that guy,' he almost hissed in your ear, 'but remember it'll be my name tonight which you'll scream, sweetheart,' he grinded slowly against your hand as he held it in place, and he squeezed your hip with his other, 'it'll be my hair you will be pulling-'

'Sihtric,' you sighed and gave him a light shove, 'baby, please, I just want to enjoy the concert. Yes, I want you too, but not right now, I mean… come on,' you cocked your head towards the stage, towards Hozier.

You scoffed and shrugged before you turned your back to him again, and Sihtric cursed silently at the guy who kept stealing your attention away from him. 

And even when the show was finally over, Sihtric was still in a mood.

'I can't believe it's always a nightmare to get out of the parking lot,' you groaned behind the wheel of Sihtric's car.

Sihtric didn't reply, he just sat with his arms crossed next to you as he stared out of the window. And to make it worse, you switched on the radio and decided to play some more Hozier. Sihtric huffed and switched off the radio, to which you rolled your eyes and switched it back on again. The on and off game continued for a few long seconds until you had enough.

'Sihtric!' you snarled and switched the music on again, 'stop it!'

'It's my car, sweetheart,' he hissed and pressed it off again.

'You've got to be kidding me,' you muttered as you pressed the on button, and you slapped his hand when Sihtric tried to switch the music off again. 'Stop being such a baby!'

'You're a baby,' Sihtric mumbled.

'Gods, are you drunk?'

'No.'

'Are you sure?'

'Yes.'

'Then you have no excuse for this childish behaviour.'

'Oh, sorry I'm not a real man, like Andrew.'

'So that's what this is,' you scoffed, 'you're not seriously jealous of a musician, are you?'

Sihtric kept his eyes locked on the blocked parking lot exit and he didn't say a word.

'Sihtric!' you chuckled, albeit annoyed, 'answer me.'

'I saw the way you looked at him,' he huffed.

'For the love of… Siht,' you took his hand, 'yes, I think Hozier is handsome, and… sure, I wouldn't mind a night with him,' you giggled, to which Sihtric clenched his jaw and flared his nostrils, 'along with you, obviously,' you added.

'A threesome?' Sihtric made a disgusted face, 'with Andrew? The fuck not. But, yeah, I'm in a mood because of him. And I'm hungry. Happy now?'

You snorted at his confession and turned up the volume when the next Hozier song started to play through the speakers. And when after several minutes there was still no movement in the rather dark and packed parking lot, Sihtric took a deep breath and unbuckled his seat belt.

'That's it,' he snarled, and he suddenly reached for the handle under your seat, which he pulled and with one swift move he pushed your seat back as far as he could.

'Sihtric?!' you yelped as you felt yourself rush backwards in your seat, and before you could even blink you felt your seatbelt loosen after Sihtric had unbuckled it, 'what are you doing?!'

'Getting what I want,' he growled while he climbed over to your side and knelt down in front of your seat.

'What-' you were interrupted as Sihtric quickly pushed the backrest of your chair down as far as possible, and before you could ask what was going on, you felt his warm, rough hands move up your thighs and push your skirt up. He then grabbed your legs and pulled you closer.

'Babe!' you giggled with wide eyes when Sihtric pulled your panties down. 

You were glad it was raining outside so the windows were rather blurred. And you immediately surrendered when you felt his tongue delve between your folds, pleasing and teasing you in all the right ways, and your hands moved automatically into his long hair as you closed your eyes and enjoyed your boyfriend as well as the music.

You moaned and cursed under your breath when you felt your climax built, as your savage looking boyfriend devoured you in his car while Hozier was blasting through the speakers.

There's nothing sweeter than my baby…

I'd never want once from the cherry tree…

'Cause my baby's sweet as can be…

'Fuck,' you breathed, 'Siht, please,' you moaned and pulled his hair.

'That's right,' Sihtric breathed and locked your thighs tighter with his strong arms, 'say my fucking name, bunny,' he growled and brought his lips back on you again.

'Gods, f-fuck,' you cried as he pushed you over the edge, and his name fell from your lips like a prayer.

You tried to catch your breath while you looked down into Sihtric's eyes, who gave you a satisfied and cocky look. He then wiped his lips with his thumb and licked it clean before he leaned in to give you a passionate kiss. He quickly dressed you decently again and moved back to the passenger seat. He put your backrest back up and pulled the handle under your seat to pull you back towards the wheel again, and he sat back in his seat while you still tried to catch your breath. He took a sip of water from the bottle he kept in his car and cleared his throat.

'The traffic cleared, you can drive, love,' Sihtric said, as if nothing had happened.

'Y-yeah,' you panted and grabbed his water bottle for a sip too, then you started the car.

'Hey,' Sihtric said before you hit the gas, and he took your chin, 'I love you, baby,' he almost whispered.

'I love you too, honey,' you smiled shyly.

'Good,' he smiled and pecked your lips, 'wanna stop by Mc Donald's for me, doll?'

'Of course, baby,' you said and pinched his cheek, 'if you promise to behave.'

'I promise, love.'

'Why did you drive by that Mac?!' Sihtric startled you as he suddenly raised his voice, and with disbelief he watched the glowing M pass by, 'babe?!'

'Really?' you hissed, 'that's the one you're banned from!'

Sihtric looked back at the restaurant and realised you were right, and he decided to not respond, so he just cleared his throat and sat in silence while you took a detour to a different Mc. You pulled up at the drive through intercom, and before you could speak Sihtric already leaned over to your side and nearly hung out of the window to order his beloved chicken nuggets.

'Ah, I'm sorry, sir,' the intercom voice said, to which you buried your face in your hands, 'we're out of nuggets. But I can offer you the chicken burg-'

'No!' Sihtric shouted, 'it's not the same!'

'Honey, please-'

'Sir-'

'I want my goddamn- you just wait!' he yelled, then paused as he started to take off his seatbelt.

'Babe!' you yelled, 'what are you doing?!'

'Getting my fucking nuggets!' Sihtric yelled as he kicked open his car door.

'Sir, we don't have any-'

'Baby, no!' you shouted, but he didn't hear you as he slammed the door shut and stalked to the restaurant entrance.

You quickly unbuckled your belt, 'I'm so sorry,' you said towards the intercom as you jumped out of the car and ran after Sihtric, who was already halfway across the parking lot.

You managed to grab his arm in time and pulled him away before he could set foot inside.

'Sihtric, think!' you said firmly, 'you want to get banned here too?!'

'I want my chicken!'

'I know! But they don't have it! Come on, please,' you groaned and pulled him back to the car, 'please, just… get in the car and I'll drive back to the other one.'

Sihtric cursed as you pulled him back to his car, then shouted something at the driver behind you who had honked, and you mouthed an 'I'm sorry' to the driver before you got in the car again.

'You really need to work on your anger issues,' you snarled as you backed up and drove back to the mainroad.

'And they really need to work on their food stock!'

'Be quick, it's only ten minutes until midnight,' Sihtric said when you parked at the Mc Donald's he was banned from.

'I will. But I can't promise you any nuggets, okay?' you said as you grabbed your purse, 'and stay in the car!'

'Yeah, yeah,' Sihtric said impatiently.

He enjoyed the sight of your ass when you got out of the car and he was quick to give you a firm slap before you closed the door. You glared back at him as you walked to the entrance, and Sihtric waited anxiously as you disappeared into the restaurant. It seemed to take forever for you to reappear again, when in reality it had only been a few minutes, and he nervously bit his nails while he waited. When the silence became too much he switched on the radio, and Hozier blasted through the speakers again as your phone was apparently still close enough to reach the signal.

'Fucking guy,' Sihtric huffed and switched the radio off again, then grabbed his phone.

Sihtric: get me a milkshake too baby girl???

You: strawberry?

Sihtric: please xxxx

Sihtric stared at his phone and saw the minutes pass by, and there still was no sight of you coming back. There were only a few minutes left before midnight now, and he would lose his mind if you weren't by his side when the clock struck 12.

Sihtric: hurry baby it's almost midnight

You: I know, it's busy here I'm sorry

Sihtric: hurryyy

Sihtric: I need my midnight kiss :( 

Sihtric: and nuggets…

Sihtric babyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

His heart stopped when he saw the clock turn to 00:00. Sihtric then looked up at the entrance, which you walked out of as soon as fireworks were set off in the surrounding neighbourhoods, and he watched you in awe as you neared his car. You seemed to move in slow motion for a moment, and his jaw dropped at the sight of you; your hips swaying as you walked, holding a milkshake in one hand while you held up a big box of chicken nuggets in your other, all while fireworks exploded in the sky above you. And Sihtric thought it was the most magical thing he had ever seen.

You jumped in the car and quickly handed Sihtric his order while he still stared at you with big eyes, and then you grabbed his face and kissed his lips.

'Happy new year, darling,' you whispered as you smiled against his lips.

'Happy new year, my love,' Sihtric murmured before he kissed you again, and then he turned his attention to the box of freshly fried nuggets in his lap.

'Happy now?' you chuckled when you saw his smile.

'Very,' he said and kissed your cheek, then offered you his milkshake, which you gladly accepted.

You both sat in his car at the Mc Donald's parking lot, watching the fireworks explode up in the air as you held hands. You sat in silence for a moment while Sihtric finally ate his nuggets and you enjoyed his milkshake. Then you switched the radio on again, and as expected, Hozier played once again but this time Sihtric didn't seem to mind it.

'It's so beautiful, baby,' Sihtric whispered after a moment.

'I know, love,' you smiled as you stared up at the fireworks.

But then you looked over at your boyfriend, and your smile faded as a look of disappointment took over when you saw he was staring at his chicken nuggets, and you swore he wiped a tear as he looked at his food.

'So perfect,' he whispered and squeezed your hand as he dipped a nugget in the curry sauce before eating it.

You decided to not say anything and you looked back up again, out the window, enjoying the fireworks. Until Sihtric suddenly held a nugget in front of you.

'You want one?' he asked.

'Really?' you asked, and felt yourself tear up at the fact that he suddenly shared his precious chicken nuggets with you, 'thank you,' you smiled and ate the chicken, then leaned over to his side to rest your head on his shoulder.

'You're welcome,' he said, his mouth stuffed with nuggets.

'I love you.'

'I love you more.'

'How much more?'

'More than chicken nuggets, sweetheart,' he said softly.

'Really?' you frowned and looked up at him.

'Really,' he smiled and kissed your forehead.

'Well,' you chuckled, 'I love you more than Hozier.'

'Really?'

'Really, babe.'

'I fucking knew it,' Sihtric said and gave you a cocky smile, 'that Andrew guy has got nothing on me.'

Life Update

Hey there! I thought I'd make a little life update for myself and anyone, who might be interested. Especially because I've been inactive for two months... So...

I finally started my medical gender transition and am now on Testosterone. Yay! :'D

I had to have surgery on my foot and got some new medical trauma as a bonus... Still trying to calm down from that. (I have a way too long list of medial traumas, you all... like, holy fuck, how do I always manage to get doctors, who fail at their job...)

I'm constantly running from doctor to doctor for several issues and what-not. Very annoying and time-consuming, on top of my regular weekly appointments.

I went to a concert after, like, six years, again. It was amazing!

My mental health struggles keep kicking my ass big time. Still looking for a suitable clinic right now, because the one I intended to go to suggested that I should focus on general mental stabilisation at a different clinic before going to this one (I agree), so I'm looking into that with my social workers, right now. But it's very exhausting and depressing because I keep losing my perspective and feeling like I'm stuck. Nonetheless, I keep going!

Those are all the major things that happened in the past two months... Anyway, just wanted to leave a little sign of life and update for anyone, who may be interested, and also for myself to look back on in a few months to see if anything changed. Take care! <3

“Hi everyone! Welcome back to my channel! If you don’t know who I am, my name is Hyerim Lee and we have fun over here” Hyerim smiles.

“As you can tell by the title it is my birthday today— yay!!” Hyerim says as she starts to get her makeup bags and tools ready for the look she was going for today.

“I think I’m just going to have some lunch with friends today and then truly celebrate when my family flies from Korea to L.A” she continues, Hyerim then heard her doorbell ring. “Oh I didn’t expect any visitors..?” She says confused and gets up from her setup at her vanity mirror.

“NO WAY” “YES WAY!” Was the only thing the views could hear, they couldn’t see anything other than Hyerim’s filming room as she left the camera there.

“Okay guys.., I’m back and with a special guest! Please welcome worldwide sensation the it girl, Nara Jung” Hyerim said as she edited “Megatron” by Nicki Minaj when she walked in. “Wait.. fit check! Do we like it?” Nara spoke and stood infront of the camera. “It’s a bit basic I ain’t gonna lie to you Na.” Hyerim told her, Nara side eyed her and said “well of course! That’s because I am not ready yet and that’s mainly because I have a surprise for you my dear best friend”

“What is it? It better not be like last year when you pied my face in..” she spoke suspiciously. “No of course not! I would never do the same prank twice I thought you were my bestie” she says fake crying and wiping a “tear” causing Hyerim to roll her eyes.

“Anyways! Who is your favorite artist like ever Hye?” “Beyoncè.” “After Queen Bey.” Nara asked “ummm Taylor Swift” said Hyerim. “What if I told you that I may or may not have tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert here in L.A just for your birthday.” She smiled at her best friend.

“NO WAY! YOU’RE LYING” Hyerim said covering her mouth, almost falling to her knees. Nara went close to her ear and whispered “take this as a birthday gift from JK and I because he got these for me to give to you so that we both can go because he knows how much we love Taylor.” “Tell him I will never sneak diss him when he makes you mad ever again please” she whispered back, laughing.

“You guys.. I am about to cry she for real got me Taylor Swift concert tickets I feel like I can kiss her right now.” Hyerim said tearing up a little.

Cut Scene to the girls getting ready and driving to the concert! She wasn’t able to film absolutely everything when they arrived but she did record them singing august and all too well. Even though Nara was herself a huge artist she was met with huge FOMO because she has been a fan of taylor swift since she was 13, looking up the female artist and almost squealed when she and the boys met her in 2018. She even almost fainted when Taylor followed her back on Instagram.

To Hyerim, this was one of the best birthday’s ever for her, she remembers having karaoke nights with Nara on their sleepovers and each other houses and singing Taylor’s album up until 2019, when she moved to L.A but when Hyerim visits her hometown when on vacation they try to have as much sleepovers as possible.

The two girls posts clips and pictures of them at the concert on their Instagram stories, immediately having accounts like PopBase post that they were at the star’s concert. They knew this night would go down as one of the best memories they have with each other.

Hello my dear (weirdme) 😄☺️! Happy Friday!

Well, I honestly have to give it to jkkrs, they will take whatever they can get and I understand why because they get very little. So if it brings them joy to gush over whatever j*kook content that comes about, so be it, because, to me, it still changes nothing about Taekook’s realness.

I still don’t understand how any taekooker can be insecure about Tae and JK after the Dreamers premiere. We saw the whole scene unfold right before our eyes in all the videos posted. Tae’s confident encouragement, JK’s hesitant shyness, it was a declaration. They can’t come out and tell us verbally “we’re in a committed relationship with each other” but the Dreamers premier was as close as they could get for now (maybe post enlistment and some years down the line they’ll tell us more, if they want to) to let us know that they are more than bros and band mates.

To me, the ring is also a subtle declaration, a “we’re apart for work but we’re still together” because like you’ve pointed out, JK knows that the ring will be traced back to Tae. I truly believe that’s exactly what his intention has been by wearing it, regardless of whose ring it is. As well as the “Kappa sweetheart” T-shirt and so many other subtle “hints” we’ve gotten.

Going to Yoongi’s concert together, leaving together, how can insecure taekookers not put faith in that? Again, a subtle indicator that they were TOGETHER 😆

I just don’t know what to make of a taekooker being so easily swayed away from the belief in Taekook by some cute j*kook banter in a live where JK was obviously giddy with excitement about life in general. Why would anyone believe Jimin and Jungkook interaction cancels out everything Taekook have shown us?

Why are there taekookers who think Tae and JK need to constantly feed their bond, closeness and love for each other to us? Because truth is, they don’t need to. They’re not together for us, for our benefit, for our entertainment. If you truly believe in Taekook then you don’t need constant, blatant “proof”. And if you DO need consistent validation then you need to reevaluate why you believe in Taekook in the first place.

Anyway, not really an ask, but wanted to add my thoughts 😁

I hope you get everything moved and it goes smoothly! Yay for saving the hedgehog 🥰

Hi @taekookibb !

So nice to see you back online! I was so happy to read you finally settled in your new place 😊.

It is so weird how sometimes something so mundane can become a whole thing. Like.. in a month or two we will still be like.. remember when Jk asked Jimin to go live together, what a day that was 😂🙈. When in reality.. it’s so meaningless.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the ring situation, though it’s quite clear it’s a meaningful ring to him. The Dream premiere was reaaally something else. Whenever I come across that footage I just.. 🥰. And Tae’s pic of them together afterwards on his insta just before the Paris stuff.. yeah those things matter.

I’ve had plenty sane anons thankfully, who are all very sure about their believes. There’s always going to be insecure persons. It’s a complicated situation, so I can understand some.. especially when you allow too many Jkkrs comments to flood your social media accounts. I’ve not gone there yet.. gonna stay on my side of fandom for a while.

Thanks so much for stepping by 😊!

Ming (off screen)  mei mei!

(Flashback ends)

Chao honey it’s time 

Mei (in her panda form)  time for what

Chao you know something like a sun yee story 

(The scene cuts to the temple)

Chao our ancestors follow the blazers as treatment of infertility 

Jia , it all started with sun yee, one of our ancestors. You know something that happened. The real 1st recorded event didn't happen in the world until the end of the American revolution. By 1804 pregnancy blaze caused the world human population to reach 1 billion. And by 2002 the panda spirit binds with the blazer caused to have fang remember that’s?

Meillin In her  panda form what  the heck are you serious  it’s a curse it’s all your fault stupid curse stupid stupid stupid 

Jia it’s a blessing 

Chao Jias right calm down 

(Mei poofs back into a human)

Mei sorry 

Jia mommy it’s grandma and aunt fang coming soon 

Mei i don’t know yet

Jia  I got an idea for the pregnancy routine 

(The scene cuts to the living room)

Jia this idea where grandma and auntie fang cousin lily and Vivian wants to help your baby’s room Vivian could make food fang is in charge of cleaning lilly is watching the house whenever  we are at the hospital grandma is helping you pray to sun yee while  in labor.

Meillin ok that’s a good idea

(Smartphone rings)

Meilin huh what’s going on 

Chao mei mei honey  it’s your mom and your sister 

Meillin I’m not here (hiding on the couch) 

(Meillin lies of the Couch in her left side position due to her large belly)   

Meilin  (on the phone) Mom fang  Hello. How's everything you two in Florida? 

Grandma Ming : [while packing her suitcase] mei mei . I know about your baby 

Meillin: I was just about to call you, but everything's fine. [hesitantly] I'm gonna handle my pregnancy on my own.

 Auntie Fang : no no I will come with you guys 

Grandma ming : [scoffs]  she’s right The way you "handled" yourself  and your family being on the news?

Meillin : No one knows anything. They barely saw me and my family!

Grandma ming : I'm on my way with reinforcements 

Meillin no I can Handle it 

(Drops the smartphone)

Meillin *sigh*

Chao what’s wrong mei 

Meillin oh nothing it’s just my stomach is really bothering me.

Chao (as he touches her pregnant wife’s belly) my sweetheart would be a cutie.

(the next morning at the meis room we see Hannah Miriam  pryia abby and their  kids along with meillin)

[the-scarlet-witch-22]

HELLOOO!!! I saw that you performed for the first time in almost 3 years?!?!! I'm sure that it was a wonderful performance!! And i hope the musicals you saw were equally as wonderful! I finally got to see Samson and Delilah and it was sooo fantastic. The music was so beautiful and their voices literally blew my mind! And afterwards found out that the woman who played Delilah was a Grammy award winner 🤯

Anyways, i hope you are doing well and that your musical adventures are exciting and bringing you so much joy 🥰

- paganini anon

p.s. i can't believe we only have one more chapter left of Chaconne!!! I say this every time, but this is truly one of my favorite fics ever written! you are so incredibly talented!!!!

Hi Paganini Anon!

Ahhhh yes I had a concert earlier this week for the first time since like 2020 and it went so well. I’m so happy to be performing regularly again ☺️ Ah thank you!! Wicked and The Lion King were both incredible, and the cast for both performances were INSANELY talented. I cried so much 😭

Oh yay! I’m so glad that you enjoyed Samson and Delilah and !!! A Grammy winner Damn! That’s incredible- it sounds like a wonderful experience and I’m so happy for you!!!

Thank you Paganini Anon 🥺 I always look forward to your asks- they make my day. I hope you’re doing well and enjoying the new year!

Also thank you so much 😭 I’m super nervous to post the last chapter but I’m also really excited. I appreciate your support so much, truly, and I hope you enjoy the last chapter ❤️ Thank you for the ask

[nocturnefactory]

tagged by @eddie-rifff yay thanks!

what book are you currently reading? Actually I just finished one and I'm about to head back to the library today to renew my card and get a new one--hopefully not over 500 pages again lol

what’s your favorite movie you saw in theaters this past year? ...I don't see movies in theaters anymore whoops, we did sit down at the TV to watch the original Willow on New Year's Eve though, someone explain to me why I'd never heard of it until then

what do you usually wear? uhhhh pants. shirt. My job has conditioned me to be as boring and inconspicuous as possible and I need to change that so so so much, time to splurge this year on a new look

how tall are you? 5-foot-4, wheee

what’s your Star Sign? do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event? Capricorn! I believe I share my birthday with Ted Danson and Dexter Holland of the Offspring, Ray Thomas of the Moody Blues...some more people...and Buck-Tick's Day in Question concert series always falls on that day for some reason

do you go by your name or nickname? I've been going by my own name for so long that I never actually stopped to think about an internet nickname and now I'm thinking of Squid (yes I know my avatar is an octopus I'm just really lazy and indecisive) :P

did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child? When I was a kid I wanted to be a paleontologist because I fixated on dinosaurs, I wanted to be a mangaka because I fixated on manga, I wanted to be a guitarist because I fixated on musicians...I don't know how to take fixations seriously lol

are you in a relationship? if not who is your crush if you have one? noop, single as heck. ...all my crushes are middle-aged musicians. Yeah.

what’s something you’re good at vs something you’re bad at? Good at? I can bust my arms hyperfocusing on something until it's done. Bad at? Socializing and having anything to say in general (cringe)

dogs or cats? I own neither but they're both beautiful

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favorite picture/favorite line/favorite etc. from something you created this past year? I drew a lot of Buck-Tick fanart that I mainly posted on Twitter/Instagram, not sure which one stands out to me the most but goshdarnit I need to post here more often even if no one understands lol

what’s something you would like to create content for? uhhh probably something that's not real people if I can just get into the headspace somehow

what’s something you’re currently obsessed with? hardly anything new, except for getting nostalgic over 90s video game music and following the lives of the composers on Twitter

What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this past year? I never get my hopes up very much anymore since hardly anything ever happens around here anyway but I'm disappointed that I keep losing my creative muse...which I guess is inevitable at that point, lol I gotta change that

what’s a hidden talent of yours? How would I even know

are you religious? not in the way my parents would've preferred lol, it's private

whats something you wish to have at this moment? I have a lot of things that I'm not even taking advantage of so I think I just need my motivation hurr hurr also a warp portal to the stores in town would be nice

tagging @bjonka @wonderous-lawnmower have fun, no pressure :P

Stupid personal post but seeing so many mcr pics from their tour has been giving me hhhhhhhh foam in the mouth, bc they have been my absolute fave band from my teens (2007 until today... so 15 years??!?!?) and I have yet to go to a concert of them.... damn, maybe one day of they get closer (they will be on México but YEAH, u need the visa to go there or the usa :') so RIP). I'm debating myself into poating my old arts of them here on this blog or making another solely for them, but in all these years I haven' t drawn them constantly even tho they are my beloved, maybe is bc in my head, my draws of them aren't good enough....so I avoid drawing them bc I'm always like "mmm maybe try years later, hopefully ur skills will be enough then" but yeah. YEAH. idk, maybe I will poat them here, even tho I don't wanna mix stuff up.... I don't wanna repeat my old tungl habits of having everything in disorder (would be harder foe me to get refs even tho the tags help) and also I don't wanna attract much attention....idk, the struggle between wanting to share but also not wanting to be found by the closed minded people that are in every corner od the internet now that wanna censor even hand holding of fictional characters... sigh, I'm damaged beyond repair in my trust towards people coming across my art. EVEN THO I wanna be like "I don't care, I won't stop doing art despite people trying to cancel" but then I'm just so tired and done with life in general....anyways, sorry if anyone read all of this. I just wanted to vent a bit in the end....

I'm so happy to see Gee in so many cute outfits that I need to sit my ass and draw him, also I need to put my shit together and decide if I'm gonna post them or not.... and if I post them if I'm gonna make a new blog or what....

The lack of arts rn is bc I'm very into rck&mrt (yay the new season!!) and my drawing fuel is focused on there... but I won't post my arts here bc of reasons. I've been mostly active on twt. Anyways!

Btw, Flake on the last show got a Simi pmushie apparently!!!! And it was the cutest thing ever..... TT so precious... I will have to draw him soon!!! maybe after the mx concert and seeing how it all goes there with the plushie stuff x. x

Ok, bye for now. Hopefully see u soon with more arts!

Into the Abyss

Chapter Two

The rain is pouring, but I walk without an umbrella. What a perfect description of the average American high school. Students fight, verbally lashing out, with minimal armor to protect themselves from the harsh scorn thrown. Nearby my locker, there was always some random or loser. “Be nice” my mom told me when I simply replied “Go away, you stoner pervert” to Jake, as I told her about my day. So in high school, I began to play nice. “Sure, I’ll go out to that concert with you.” “Yes, of course, I’ll help with this project.” A classic pushover, coming to a boiling point. So, to whoever’s reading this, that’s why I ran away from the pharmacy, the one thing binding me to this life. A life written by others.

Speaking of Jake, he would always ditch class or hang around the lockers, trying to sell marijuana. His tall figure was like an ugly phantom, hovering around with a 5-leafed clover. A raspy deep voice beckoned me from my class as he approached me, “So, you’re a bad bitch. W-wanna hang out at the mall tonight?” I put on my shiniest facade, and replied “Sure, I’ll meet you there.” He offered to pick me up in his worn-out two-seater, red and rusted. And of course, I accepted. I didn’t want to, but again, I couldn’t say that. Because in this school, the only reason a girl was laughing or smiling was to avoid sexual harassment.

And that’s how my freshman year went, going out with everyone until I was pushed off the deep end. More and more guys kept piling on requests, and I was pressured to say yes, because who would want a roofie in their drink? Maybe Rita, but this is my story of how I got on a useless drug. Anyways, all the guys shared schedules, and guess what, I wasn’t their one and only. So, more slut-shaming. Yay. I was tired of this cycle, I wanted to end it all. To get rid of this body, this mind that plagues me. But I wasn’t depressed, I wouldn’t go home and cry my lungs out. I needed to prove it to them. To show them who has the upper hand. But instead, someone caught me with the climbing rope, snitched on me to the counselor, and then forced me into therapy. Someone burst into the locker room, just as I was about to tie it. Someone with a bright smile and auburn hair.

Theresa started this all. So if I do something wrong, she’s the root cause. A scream belted out from the girl’s locker room, as she froze in shock. I just needed for the guys to go away. And I couldn’t shoot up the school, I’d want my last appearance to be interesting, not a classic news headline. Words were erupting from her like a geyser, stuttering. She ran off, and then a counselor pulled me out of class. Was I expelled? Did someone die? Nope, just a suicide attempt. “Please let me know if you’re feeling like this again.” “So you can snitch to my mom, yeah no.” An inopportune eye-rolling chance. A big eff you to the counselor. And Theresa.

Currently remembering that time lat summer when I embarrassed myself in front of the eleven year olds at the art house by trying to explain what this poem was about... A brief moment of silence... Anyway, I wrote this for a poetry class that I took last summer (with a bunch of eleven year olds). I think the prompt was to write about facing a fear, or something like that? Whatever the prompt was, I wrote this poem inspired by the concert I went to in New York that May. For a large part of last spring I was incredibly anxious about my inability to socialize, like, at all, and I was feeling pretty hopeless. When I went to New York for the concert, it was like I'd entered an alternate reality where I felt confident and I could do things I'd never thought I'd be able to do. That trip gave me a lot of hope for myself and my future. And now I've done and am continuing to do even more crazy things that are out of my comfort zone, so, yay!!

New Start GO! 🌸 Anniversary 4

That afternoon. Conference area in the office

Nazuna: Uu~ The marketing plan for the meeting is so hard~…..?

You can't just rely on your own feelings or imitate how other artists have promoted themselves, there have to be results using PR theory.

Though we said we’d use our past experience in front of Mr. President, it’s really not that simple~

Tomoya: Yeah…. We said some cool things in front of Mr. New Guy, but our abilities are still far from enough.

On the other hand, I think Mr. New Guy should be more confident in himself. Even if you make a lot of mistakes, it also means more opportunities to challenge yourself.

Besides, the materials you provided for reference were very simple and easy to understand.

Mitsuru: Hey hey, you’re saying losing in the middle of the race is meaningless~?

Mn~ I get that. I also feel really defeated and hurt if I don’t win first place~

But you’re already doing great for a new person. And having no coworkers to talk to, maybe it’s because the PR department just doesn’t have any young people?

Mitsuru: It just means everyone’s looking forward to what you’ll do, Young Hawk!

Tomoya: You mean ‘Hope’, right.

Anyway, I think it’s fine if Mr. New Guy handles the theory and script.

And we can share our personal experiences with Mr. New Guy for creative reference. I think it’ll be better this way.

Hajime: Yeah. I agree.

However you say it, it’s all endorsed by Ra*bits. We would understand ourselves the most.

Er, ahaha….. I’m still finding my ideal self though, so I don’t really have any right to say that.

Nazuna: But, this just means you’ve gone through a lot of trial and error. Hajime-chin and Mr. New Guy are the same. You guys don’t give yourself enough credit, you know~?

Let’s think of some ideas on how to show off our individual personalities!

Mitsuru: ME ME ME! I have an idea!!

Nazuna: Oh, that’s a good attitude~ Mitsuru-chin. I still need to learn from you on that aspect. Well, let’s listen to Mitsuru-chin’s idea first?

Mitsuru: Leave it to me! How about we wear suits for a Live? That way we can combine performing and PR, like hitting two birds with one stone!

Tomoya: Wearing suits for a Live….. the overall idea isn’t bad. It’s not only novel, but suitable for this company’s public image too.

But……. Uu~ I mean, shooting a commercial for suits is fine, but I’m a bit concerned about wearing suits for a whole Live. I feel like it isn’t exactly what our fans want to see for a Ra*bits Live. What do Nii~chan and Hajime think?

Nazuna: Well~ If we’re just wearing suits for a few songs during the Live, then it’s not like we can’t. And if we produced a song especially about suits to include in the performance, then that’s also a logical course of action.

It’s just that, like this the promotional event will just be a ‘bonus’ next to the concert, which isn’t very realistic.

Hajime: If we do this, we’d have to ask the company to produce outfits especially for the Live, at the very least. If the connection to the company doesn’t go beyond that, then it doesn’t mean much to both of us.

If we can create something else to add to Mitsuru’s idea then that would be best. Something that would connect the Live and PR together, and tug on the customer’s heartstrings-

Hajime: …..Hm? What is it, Mr. New Guy?

“Like the way you encouraged me, I hope Ra*bits can cheer on those who are taking a new step forward. Because during this time of year, there’s a lot of people who are entering a new period of their life….?”

Nazuna: That’s right. A new life….!

If the Live is about ‘cheering on your new life’, it’ll be in line with Ra*bits’ style and usable for the company’s promotion. Like this, both aspects are accounted for.

Mitsuru: Then then, that means my idea can be used, right!

Yay! We can hold a Live for work this time! Lately, we’ve had a lot of tv and variety show work, but Lives are really special! I feel like it’s our origin, so I’m excited♪

Tomoya: Bringing up Yumenosaki reminds me of Lives. I’m nostalgic for the feelings we had when our unit just started out, but I also want to try our best with a fresh attitude.

Hajime: Yeah. A story of the new and energetic Ra*bits cheering on those with hearts full of dreams, anticipating the new year arriving in April…… I think it’s wonderful♪

Tomoya: Mr. New Guy, we’ll use a Live that includes company promotion as our general direction, so let’s quickly prepare the material for the plan. Before tomorrow’s meeting we’ll keep clarifying the plan more and more. If you have any ideas please don’t hold back, you can speak up.

Tomoya: Only through this can we demonstrate in the material that we have appeal, whether doing promotion or being idols.

I saw FIR and CTE way back in the height of my scene phase with PTV and while I still have their old music on my playlists I don’t really engage with any new music from either band. I do like Crown the Empire, but I am aware of the controversy surrounding them. Falling in Reverse I’m just really not a fan of the direction they’ve been taking musically. There are still plenty of other “problematic” bands whose music I listen to from BEFORE they became widely known as problematic, probably most notable being that in like May of last year I went to see DGD for their Jackpot Juicer tour and then literally a few weeks later the lead singer got outed for rape and I’m like wow yikes rip. Like yeah I would love to see INK again this year but even outside of the controversy like I really don’t have any interest in seeing any of the other bands their touring with since CTE is only on a date that’s like 5 hours away from me where I went to see TOT. As much as I love INK and would love to see them again this year since I’m not going to the concert during their convention I would rather just wait until next year to see if they end up touring with bands I care about seeing or even just bands that have less controversy. I have one show lined up for this year, I see PTV is touring with The Used but I never really got into them but idk maybe I’ll try and hit that one up too idk. Like it sucks to be like yay INK tour! Oh I don’t like any of these bands and they’re problematic and my year is already kind of heavily booked where I need to be saving money for the trips and plans I already do have including their convention anyway etc.

also LIFE UPDATE so first of all idk if you guys remember annoying girl ?? the one that is rude and negative and just a debby downer ?? well anyways i first started talking to her like a year ago (before we even moved to amst) and at the time i thought she was sooooo cool and that we were going to be besties (didn’t age well) SO when we first started talking there was this concert over here that she wanted to go to and she needed someone to go with, so naturally (naive little me) thought yay!! and excuse to spend time with a cool new friend !! so i volunteered and got the ticket and forgot about it. wellllllll the concert is tomorrow and we’re still going together (even though as per model girl’s advice i haven’t really talked to her in weeks) so i am dreading it ?!?! at least a concert should be chill bc i don’t actually have to listen to her and i am meeting a different friend beforehand for drinks so i should be tipsy enough to deal with it but long story short - attending concert with someone i no longer enjoy lmao will update you ofc but please keep me in your thoughts 🙏🏼
