Call me Back Please

tags: redacted ASMR post inversion, redacted David x Angel

--

It was eleven at night when Angel's socked feet paced towards the door. On top of the security system installed in their house, David said he had magical force fields put up around the perimeter. It wasn't going to ping for either one of them exclusively. "Davey?"

No answer.

Pouting, Angel released a breath and made their way to the kitchen. There must be some leftover chips somewhere.

1:19 struck on the wall clock by the time Angel sent a fifth text message to David. Hey! I know phones aren't allowed on the clock but I just wanted to check in. Call me back

The microwave oven made a droning sound that sounded uncannily like the magical ward that covered everyone during the inversion.

Call me back please. I love you.

It was 2:46 when Angel sent a voice note to the group chat. "Hey, guys. I'm okay, don't worry. Um..." They bit the inside of their mouth to keep from crying. "Have you-have any of your mates reached out? Nothing's wrong, I'm just... let me know when they're okay. Thanks."

A little more than five gruesome minutes later, Asher's mate responded. You're up, too.

3:30 flashed on Angel's devices as they adjusted their seat, facing the direction of the front door. "This is stupid. I'm being so stupid. This is clinginess! I'm being clingy."

But the room felt just as quiet as when they waited on the outside of that ward without guarantee that David was still alive.

"Christ," Angel curled their body into the smallest ball possible, sobbing into their arms. David's hoodie notwithstanding. "Where are you... Please..."

At some point, they padded to the floor leading to the front door and sat there. 4:15 arrived before Angel realized they had slept against the wall, and their body ached all over. And someone arrived through the door.

"What are you doing on the floor? Get up. You'll catch a cold."

Angel weakly peered up at David. Something in their face made his eyes soften, and he set his bags aside, arms open towards his mate. "Come on, Angel. Let's go to bed. Come on."

Normally, Angel was hyperactive and shrieking whenever David scooped them up in a bridal carry. Now, Angel curled their arms around his shoulders, face buried on his neck while their legs hang limp over David's arms.

See? The condemning, reasonable voice in their head snapped. He's right here. You're so stupid. Clingy. Childish, even!

David spotted the tearstains on the hoodie Angel wore. He nudged open the door to their bedroom before he said. "Thanks for staying up for me."

The voices stopped for a second. Angel made a noncommittal noise.

"Did you try to sleep?" David set them down to bed, brushing stray hairs out of their face.

Angel fidgeted with the strings of the hoodie, and croaked in a small, guilty voice. "Yeah. Sorry I couldn't."

"That's alright. I appreciate that you tried." He brushed his hands across Angel's arms, soothing. "I'm not mad, Angel."

They managed to look at him through the tears welling up in their eyes. "I also ate chips. And noodles. And drank coffee. I'm so sorry. I know we already talked about it. I-I am trying to cut back, but I was panicking. I knew I was panicking. I needed comfort--"

David kissed the back of Angel's hands once before he dove, putting his full upper body weight as he embraced his mate into the bed. He already knew Angel's unhealthy coping mechanisms, and it wasn't as bad as they felt it was. Darlin' had been the one to tell them about Angel checking in among the mates.

"You're not in trouble. You're alright." He rocked them back and forth, letting Angel sob into his shoulder. "Here's what we do, Angel: you wait while I change out of these work clothes, and then I'll spoon you to sleep. How's that sound?"

Angel was already nodding, even as they gently pushed him away. "Go. Hurry back." they whimpered.

They already lifted the blankets by the time David returned and climbed into bed. Angel slithered onto him within seconds. "Come here, Angel. My angel."

Every Moment Since

Marybeth Mayhew Whalen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"A small Southern town. An ordinary Saturday night. A little boy disappears without a trace."

I thought the pacing fit the plot and unraveling of events wonderfully, as we are taken through the before and after of Davey's disappearance and the lives he touched in life and death.

Heavy on the theme of grief and moving on with life after the death of a loved one. The characters grow on you, and by the end of the book, I thought everyone got the ending they deserved.

📂Genres: fiction, murder mystery, drama

💬Recc: Not for readers looking for a high stakes thriller, the murder investigation often takes a back seat to the character development.

🎙Audio: Awesome full cast narration, each with their own charm to add to the story.

Asks for Davey boy!

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 - Do they have any siblings? (If spoilers, pls ignore!)

🥰 - What pet names do their partner(s) use for them? How flustered do they get by them?

💬 - What are some filler/buffer words they use? (Like, um, etc.)

And Bonus question!

What cursewords does he use?

Hello there Muffin! Thanks for sending in some questions for the chaos gremlin 💜✨

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 - Do they have any siblings? (If spoilers, pls ignore!)

Davey-boy is an only child, so no siblings here. Sometimes he wishes that he had one, thinking that life would be less lonely that way. However it wasn't meant to be and he grew up alone instead.

🥰 - What pet names do their partner(s) use for them? How flustered do they get by them?

Hmmm well all of his partners are sexual in nature and he sleeps around a lot so that really varies. Luss calls him sweetheart, others go for handsome or baby. He's fine with those, they don't particulary fluster him, they simply make him a bit gooey depending on the situation. However, pet names including the word "love" are a no go! Psychic damage! Pain! Suffering! Release him from this hell! (Dave has a difficult relationship with love)

💬 - What are some filler/buffer words they use? (Like, um, etc.)

Dave speaks casually which includes a lot of slang and abbreviations. That boy can babble a lot if you let him, he has a motormouth. As a result he kinda resorts to filler words to fill the silence and keep the momentum going. Like, totally, dude, yeah, y'know are all in his arsenal and he uses them often.

What cursewords does he use?

Dave knows a lot of cursewords. From the most vile thing that will ever come from someones mouth to so fucking weird it turns funny, Dave's heard it all. He tends to prefer the silly ones like butthead, nincompoop, dunderhead etc. because Dave likes being a childish brat. That doesn't mean he won't curse your entire bloodline Xanxus-style if you mess with him or his friends though. It very much depends on the situation.

(Technically speaking since everyone in the Varia knows mulitple languages in my AU he would use different languages for cursing too. But the only languages I'm fully fluent in are German and English and I prefer sticking to one language entirely for writing, so I only mentioned english ones here.)

misc ask game

[somanywords]

💬

thanks for the ask, anon! <3 have some newsies wip:

“Moving up in the world, hmm?” Mr. Jacobs asks, offering a dish of carrots.

Jack takes it from him, muttering thanks. “Yes sir, got a desk job now and everything. What every fella dreams of, right?”

“Not everyone,” Davey says to his potatoes.

“Hey,” Jack complains, quiet. “Not now, come on.”

Mrs. Jacobs sighs, coming around behind her son’s chair and placing her hands on his shoulders. “David,’ she murmurs with that special accent, “Always has to say what’s on his mind.”

“I’ll say,” Jack agrees without thinking. It startles a laugh out of the Jacobs family and eases things around the table. Davey kicks him under the tablecloth, but it feels like the gentle press of an apology.

For every 💬 I get in my inbox, I’ll post a quote from my own writing that I’m proud of!

mademoiselle e: non, je ne l'ai pas fait. Tu veux me donner quelques leçons, beau gosse?

d-stri: yo idk what the hell you just said but you looked fine as fuck saying it

alpha!dave strider, just a few years before the screaming success of SBAHJ franchise, and few more years before john crocker gets him addicted to slime-based cocaine :) he's meeting his soon to be starlet, esme <3 drawn by the beautiful @sophyophy THANK YOUUUUU

[stridersplush]

meet the Jester (esme) and the Knight (dave) sketched up by @sophyophy, tormentors of Coach and Bro.

theyre undergoing a process @ardentcounselor and i are coining "cupidification" where theyre becoming beings known as "cupids"; essentially pawns created through chucklevoodoo and cherubic influence

this is what happens when you let a clown groom you into fucking each other inside a metaphysical paradoxical pocket universe controlled by seeds of Lord English ig

[stridersplush]

some moodboards using a template i saw on pinterest, but its how they see each other under specific descriptors; the top is how esme sees dave and the bottom is how dave sees esme.

i love doing moodboards theyre so chill and fun ^_^ template/key below!

[stridersplush]

takes a small break from buckposting to clink a!dave and a!esme together

au where famous director dave strider and his starlet (who does all her own stunts) get married and raise dirk and todd when their meteors crash ^_^

[stridersplush]

If you get hip to this kind of trip

And gon take that California trip

Get your kicks on Route 66

>> had too much fun making my citrusmist summer moodboard so i had to make one for honeyed apples too ^_^ dave and esme would 1000% commit to doing an 80s retro summer together....

esme and dave love just wandering around cities, poking into hole in the wall record shops and spending their money at arcades. they binge on snacks and take the train to the boardwalk as the sun creeps higher and higher; she leans against him so they can share headphones and squabble over who has better music taste, and then kiss each other quickly in between laughter

they watch fireworks from the top of the ferris wheel, feeling the boom in their chests, as he wraps an arm around her shoulder...

[stridersplush]

what a weird dream. but at least it involved an f/o!

i have a lot of dreams that take place in the same fake dream locales, and this one took place at the theme park i dream about a lot. this time i was in the underground, a part of the park i dont often visit; it was night time and dave and i were boarding the tram.

dave and i were very attached, lots of hugging and holding, reaffirming attraction and affection between us, but the vibe was *not* happy. it was very... grim and tense, like we knew we were on some sort of mission or time limit or something.

nothing happened though? we stood on the tram, with the both of us kind of on edge and with our heads on a swivel, distrustful of the other passengers, with him holding me tight, we were *very* intertwined with each other throughout the entirety of the dream, but it felt more like out of a fear something would happen to the other or we would be separated

eventually the tram pulled into a city station outside of the park, and we traveled out of the downtown area which i had never really seen in my dreamscapes before, though i didnt have much of an opportunity to study it. it morphed into a very emotionally fraught argument i had defending dave from some pseudo-parental figures, i woke up with a high heart rate and feeling a little stressed LMAO

it was at least nice to have a very affectionate and tactile davey in my dreams tho
