A LOST KID CALLED YOUR BOYFRIEND “ DADDY ” !!

ft. k. ayato, alhaitham, tartaglia, heizou, k. kazuha, scaramouche, tighnari, diluc, kaveh.

note. no pronouns mentioned (but quite focused with female reader. worry not, it's not obv tho hopefully). quite suggestive to childe and heizou.

your fav characs might be here in part two!

author's note. i posted this two or three days ago but i got shadow banned for some reason (maybe i had too tags?) i don't know how tumblr algorithm works because i'm quite new here ;( anyway i hope you enjoy this !! additional note; this was inspired from a specific event of tears of themis where this little girl was lost and called the four men their "daddy" !!

— kamisato ayato.

“hi sweetie,” the child opened her arms as she ran towards your boyfriend with a huge smile on her face. ayato hefted her with a sweet smile on his face (you were frowning, but you couldn’t help your stomach explode with butterflies).

“everything makes sense when a ‘single’ man is so hardworking.” you rolled your eyes as you whispered sarcastically (ayato managed to hear you though).

“this is our baby,” he whispered to you with a wink, planting a quick kiss on your cheek.

“are you lost, baby girl?” ayato asked the little girl like he didn’t do anything that made your face turn into a tomato. 

your boyfriend can be a very great father to your future children one day. 

— alhaitham.

both of your eyes widened when you saw the little girl hugging your boyfriend with a smile on her lips. the little girl kissed your boyfriend’s cheek multiple times, she looked very happy to see her dad.

you bit your lower lip, preventing yourself from laughing too hard when you saw alhaitham’s priceless look. however, it was becoming a hard task to do, hence you covered your mouth with your hand. “i’m not informed, alhaitham.”

“i’m not a big fan of kids unless it’s ours,” he remarked. 

you laughed (ignoring the fact he might want to have kids with you), “help the child, haitham!”

— tartaglia.

ajax started hugging the little girl with love too. you rapidly blink at the sight, questioning if he was really the father of the child or someone close..? 

“not mine, baby.” he grinned as if he read the thought running in your mind. “the guardian or parents must be here somewhere.”

you and ajax didn’t really think nor talk about it until the child’s mother was found not too long after. your eyebrows furrowed to childe, waiting for him to answer the questions you wanted to hear. however, he just shrugged yet with a mischievous smirk curved on his lips.

“too bad. it would be hot if you were the one who called me daddy though.”

“archons, ajax!” 

— heizou.

“the kid must have had a traumatic experience, and it seemed like i looked like her father,” heizou thought thoroughly. 

“yeah, yeah, hot detective.” you rolled your eyes with a grin. “what if it was really your child?”

heizou shrugged. “you haven’t even felt how big my-”

“okay, shut up, you dirty ass gross.”

he laughed his ass off.

— kaedehara kazuha.

“who would’ve thought that you’ll have a child, kazu.” you blinked while watching him. the child gave kazuha quite a lot of affection. she must have been missing her father to be this clingy to kazuha.

“impossible. i’ve never been in love before, until you.” kazuha sighed. his eyes stare at the girl who had been resting in his embrace with a smile on her lips. he made sure she’s comfortable, thus kazuha was swaying her gently.

you watched them; the sight of kazuha taking care of a kid made you feel assured. you somehow saw a future with him.

“i’ve also never been jealous of a kid until now.” you rolled your eyes playfully while pouting.

kazuha chuckled, “my sweet dove, take it easy. you’ll be spoiled later with my affection.”

oh, he’s such a sweet angel.

— scaramouche (wanderer).

he rolled his eyes, exhaling through his nose after the kid ran to him with a smile on her face. you wanted to maintain your composure and tried not to laugh when he can’t disregard the poor girl off him.

“can she just get off me?” he whispered like praying to the gods.

“you’ll be a bad father for our future children, kuni.” you smirked.

“is this even our child?” scaramouche barked.

you shrugged, unable to wipe the grin off your face. “maybe?” you teased.

he glared at you. 

“i’m just joking. but treat her like our child.” you winked.

scara had decided to give up with a sigh. he lowered himself until he reached the child’s height. “here,” scara said, handing a candy to her. you could see the happiness in the little girl’s eyes. “we’ll find your brother soon, okay?”

no words can explain how hard you fell in love with him after you saw what you saw.

— tighnari.

“we... don’t have a child, right?” tighnari asked, confused. he carried the child in his arms nonetheless.

you shake your head, “maybe you do have with someone else?”

“i can’t do that to you, (y/n).” he slightly frowned.

you grinned, “let’s help her then,” you kissed tighnari’s cheek. 

“why not on the lips?” he questioned. “are you mad?”

“there’s a kid, tighnari.” 

“kiss me,” he whispered as he covered the little girl’s eyes with his hand.

you obliged with a smile on your lips, pressing your lips on his. 

— diluc. 

“you have a child?” you tilt your head in confusion. “so unlikely of you.”

“i would stop running the dawn winery first before i shoot my sperm in someone else’s womb.” 

your jaw dropped. ignoring his dirty mouth, you focused on his word someone else’s. “so there’s someone else?”

“no,” diluc shook his head, staring at you with a slight grin on his lips. 

“how would i know you’re telling the truth?” you asked, challenging him.

“it’s going to be your choice to believe me or not,” he shrugged. “but just so you know, i would pass the ownership of dawn winery later tonight if you want me to.”

you kissed him, “of course i believe you.”

— kaveh.

“let’s adopt her?” kaveh grinned after he hugged the lost girl.

“you fool, that’s someone else’s child. unless it’s really your child?” you playfully glared at him.

“it’s not mine, but we can make it ours.” he smiled.

“kaveh, she’s lost.” kaveh grabbed her little hand. “would you hold their hand for me too, sweet girl?”

your eyes widened at his request to the little girl. the little girl nodded and held your hand together with his. she was between you and kaveh, holding your hands with hers. the three of you looked like a family.

“are you hesitating now?” kaveh smirked.

i'm sorry if this is quite short to some! i'll still think if i should decided to make another part for the other characters or make a new one!

[tojisun]

Toji as a po*n star huh 😳 imagine him corrupting his virgin and innocent gf. Thank you for conking to my Ted talk cuz that’s all I have to say 😮‍💨 Maybe some head cannons too

holy fuck. losing my whole mind and soul and heart at this???? x

here’s a little something because head empty, just this type of toji 😭 quackie i hope you like this!!!

cw: NSFT, smut, corruption kink, mean toji, fem reader, a slight oc appearance, daddy kink, lapslock // wc: 1.6k

i.

one day, while you and toji are cuddling in your room and watching a movie from your laptop, he just breaks the silence and says, “wanna watch porn?”

he feels you stiffen on his lap, a gasp punching itself from your lungs, and toji turns to watch the flush that explodes on your face, cheeks turning into a delicious red. god you’re so beautiful.

“only if you want to, though,” he adds a moment later when you remained unmoving and quiet. a small part of him thinks you truly do not want to, but from the way you are squirming on his lap and fidgeting, playing with the hem of your skirt, toji thinks you actually do.

well, you always did want to do anything he suggested. always so eager to please him. eager to be his good girl. it’s endearing, actually, how you are so natural at being a submissive little darling for him. always wide-eyed and blushy as you whisper, “yes, toji-san.”

fuck, he’s already getting hard.

“i want to,” you tell him, hands fisted at your skirt and eyes not meeting his, embarrassed and shy at your admittance. “please?”

toji’s lips curl, breathing sharply at your soft voice. at hearing you ask for his permission. damn, aren’t you too perfect for him?

“‘course,” he murmurs and he pulls the laptop to him, opening a site he knows too well. you watch him throughout, resting your head on his shoulder, trembling in excitement or nervousness, toji doesn’t know. he clicks on a video, sneering at the cringey title, and sits back again, pulling you closer to him.

he pretends he doesn’t hear your gasp as you brush on his half-hard dick, his control especially straining when you squirm to feel it again. damn it baby.

the video plays but toji doesn’t bother to watch it. he knows what’s going to happen, after all he’s in it. instead, he turns his sharp eyes on you, absorbing the way you watch as his co-star introduced herself, pretending to be a school teacher, her plump breasts in a too-tight blouse.

toji sees the exact moment you see him come into view as your lips fall open, eyes widening, breath hitching and body tensing all over again. he expected for you to look at him and question why’s he a porn star, of all things. but you do not move, wide eyes hungrily watching as toji tore miyuka’s blouse, his big hand groping her breasts while the other yanked her lingerie down. you moan at the same time miyuka does. fuck.

(he felt a stirring in his gut as he watched himself in their new film. the director showed them the final cut, asking if he or miyuka wanted to edit or remove some parts. miyuka was also gazing intently at the screen, her eyes furrowed as she watched herself mewl underneath toji’s arms, her head thrown back as toji licks a stripe on her neck. toji liked how the filming ended up looking and miyuka also agreed after finishing the video.

“we look good together, don’t we?” she asked toji, eyeing him from the mirror in their dressing room, dabbing a finger on her lips to set her gloss. “wanna date for real?”

toji chuckled, a quiet and humourless sound, as he turned to her. “i don’t need you,” he said. “i’ve got the sweetest darling at home, waiting for me.”

miyuka huffed at his response, crossing her arms and pouting. “what a lucky lady.”

toji hummed. “nah. i’m the one who’s lucky.”)

toji chuckles when you lean closer to the screen and the sound of his voice breaks you from your trance. you shriek, turning your flushed head to meet his stare. “toji-san!” you exclaim, hiding your face behind your hands, sweater paws and all.

he laughs, prying your hands from your face. “c’mon now, doll, don’t be shy. just a minute ago, you looked like you were ready to swallow my dick.”

you mewl at his words, shifting on his lap and squeezing your thighs close. your skirt rides up, edges of your underwear peeking through. plain black, probably matching your bra, and yet toji thinks it’s the hottest he’s seen. your hand shoots to your skirt, tugging it down to hide yourself, but toji grasps your hands loosely and tangles your fingers with his.

“my dick’s all censored in these clips,” he whispers, voice deep and lidded with arousal. he guides one of your hand down to the bulge in his pants, hissing when your smaller hand finally brushes it. he’s been leaking precum since a while ago, becoming too sensitive from your writhing and hitched breaths, that a brush of your fingers feels too good. your eyes are still blown wide and stuck to his, watching his reactions with something akin to wonder and excitement, and he groans when you begin rubbing at his hardened length with vigour, clumsy hand feeling so good despite the layers in between.

he laughs before pulling you closer, kissing you hard and desperate and rigorous. you groan in pleasure despite craning your neck awkwardly, hands still trapped in toji’s hold. he pulls back, tugging at your bottom lip, sucking once more before finally releasing it. he noses at your ear, and says, “so, wanna see my dick uncensored?” it’s some cringe line, one fitting for cringier porn films and not for his moment with you, and yet you moan, nodding your head in reply.

“yes please.”

oh. how could he forget. “you’re truly my good girl, aren’t you.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

ii.

toji taking your virginity away in the most mind-blowing and intense sex ever. pure dirty talk and so much teasing, driving you mad until you’re tipping over and crying, begging him so, so sweetly.

“you’ve always wanted my cock, don’t you? look how you’re so tight on my fingers, swallowing so greedily. can’t believe i thought you were my innocent darling when you turn into a desperate whore just from my fingers!” toji says, pumping three fingers in you, scissoring and curling them. your head is thrashing, hands fisting the sheets, hips unconsciously rising and grinding to meet toji’s thrusts.

“how will my cock fit in this tiny pussy when i can barely fit four fingers?” toji’s voice sounds mocking, faux worry, sighing as if disappointed. then, he says, “but don’t worry. daddy will make it fit.”

all the while, you are squealing, begging, “toji-san! want your cock! want your cock! daddy, please please please!”

when toji finally does bottom out, he gives you time to adjust. you are shaking, crying and delirious, eyes squeezed close as you feel just how big toji really is. toji closes his eyes, hissing at the tight heat enveloping him, trying his very best to not start thrusting.

he snaps when he watched your shaky hand come up, prodding at where you feel his cock is. you giggled, peering up at him through wet lashes. “can feel you here, daddy.”

“relax,” is all he says before he just starts fucking into you earnestly. you scream, body lifting at the intensity of it all. you start crying again, hands letting go of the sheets to claw at toji’s back.

oh but the pain subsides. and when it does, pleasure floods you so scarily fast that you are reeling from the feeling. your head is buzzed and your ears are ringing, and you only zone back in to hear toji chuckling, fingers still flicking your nipples. “fuck baby, you just squirted!” he sounds ecstatic, giddy. you don’t know what squirting means—you don’t even know if you can think at the moment.

“is that—is that good?” you ask, voice hoarse and broken, moaning at the spike of pleasure again. toji laughs. “yeah baby. means you’re a fuck’n slut. my slut.”

toji also saying, “god, baby, you can star in my porn films at this point. look at you.” he sounds adoring, in awe as he watched you bounce on his cock, hands holding his, your tongue lolled out and hair a tangled mess. “you’re so desperate for this dick, aren’t you?”

when he cums, he bows his head onto the crook of your neck, moaning amidst your broken squeals. “i love you, baby,” he says, voice gentle, a sudden switch from the domineering tone he was using just minutes ago. you’re too tired to reply, but toji doesn’t mind.

he kisses you again and slowly pulls out, whispering things like “you did good,” or “i’ve got you” as you whimper from the sting. he collapses beside you and you blearily watch him as he smiles, a sweet little thing, and kisses you again.

aftercare with toji is divine.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

iii.

“if you want me to stop being a porn star, tell me and i’ll stop.”

you are quiet, wrapped in a blanket and hiding your face on his chest as if he didn’t just fuck you to putty a while ago. you’re perfect and you don’t need to hide anything, but he indulges you anyways and gathers you in his arms.

you mumble something on his chest, words incoherent and too quiet to hear. “speak up, baby. tell me what’s on your mind.”

toji is patient as you gather your thoughts. then he hears you say, “that’s okay. you look good doing that.”

you can’t even say the word ‘porn,’ fuck that’s so adorable. he smiles, planting a kiss on your head, and says, “alright. but the sentiment stands indefinitely so if you change your mind and you want me to stop, tell me and i will.”

you nod and he feels you press a light kiss on his chest. he laughs.

yeah, you truly are his sweet darling.

If you don't mind could you talk more about werewolf!robin and witch!nancy? Im literally obsessed with werewolves and literally anything supernatural in general and ronance is my current hyperfixation so if both of them are combined im going to explode

anon i would LOVE to. (also i'm glad someone else is obsessed with supernatural things in general aakjhskj)

robin knows when a potion goes wrong before nancy does bc she can smell it. "nance. i don't want to alarm you or anything, but i think something's wrong with this potion." "rob, there's nothing wrong with this po-" *explosion*

robin sheds like crazy. it's everywhere. nancy has a stash of lint rollers.

i also like to think that while nancy's a witch, she's still got her guns. they're enchanted now.

robin gets really antsy right before a full moon. like, pacing and wringing her hands and talking real fast because she's got a little extra energy but nancy waits with her and does her best to keep her level and calm enough so she doesn't work herself up into a panic attack (it's happened before and it was NOT good. robin got really snippy with everyone and apologized profusely after.) nancy's always prepared, she keeps extra clothes on hand for robin and everything.

the super-hearing can really get to robin and it makes it super hard to focus, especially in school, so nancy enchants like, a ring or a necklace or something that dampens it long enough for her to focus.

robin is honest to god friends with every dog she meets. nancy thinks its ridiculous (she thinks its adorable but now they have like, a pack of stray dogs who nearly follow them anywhere.)

robin really does help (most of the time) with making potions because sometimes nancy can get a little disorganized (not that she'll ever admit it) but bc robin can sniff it out, she helps her find the stuff she needs. (and is promptly kicked out after bc she keeps touching/trying to taste things. she gives nancy her best puppy dog eyes. nancy gives in every time.)

nancy has a cat as a familiar and she was super nervous that it wouldn't get along with robin for obvious reasons but it turns out robin is really good with cats too. it LOVES robin. nancy's totally not jealous that the cat spends almost more time with robin. (she totally is.)

whenever nancy's lounging/reading robin (in wolf form) will just like. climb up into her lap and sit. nancy reads to her and robin, in turn, gives her little "kisses" (she licks nancy's face and nancy goes "ew!!! robbie stop it!!" and giggles the whole time.)

this is all i have for now lol!! i hope u enjoy!! i love ronance and i love supernatural stuff so thank u anon for this!!

[nerdydowntherabbithole]

Hi I'm back again and I have more TLAI stuff to yell about

Except this time it's what my brain decided to come up with the literal second I woke up. My mind chose violence.

If this becomes canon somehow. All the more suffering lmao

OK SO. BIG BIG WARNING FOR BODY HORROR FOR THIS. B I G.

So I woke up and my brain's favorite activity is torturing the blorbos in my mind so. I got this idea.

Directly post the group minus Moon and Sugar find a new shelter to sleep in, Pebbles ends up having a nightmare. A bad one. One vivid enough that he doesn't even recognize it as a dream.

He 'wakes up' outside, in the swamp. There's no fireflies anymore. He's alone. He cannot even access his Overseers. He walks through the swamp, trying to find his way back to the shelter, but he doesn't recognize where he is. At one point he's grabbed by some of that rot plant, and he pulls himself out successfully only to get a good look at it. It isn't the rot plant anymore. It's actual Rot. Pebbles looks around and realizes- Everything, it's all Rot. Cysts of black and blue coat the entire swamp, reaching up trees and taking over the leaves and it's even in the water, the ground he walks on is marked with x's everywhere and it isn't mushy dirt anymore, it pops and squelches under his steps. Of course, he's horrified, trapped in this rot-infested location, to the point where the only noise he can hear is these moist dragging popping and his own electronic whines as the Rot tendrils try to grab at him. But it gets worse. There's finally a noise under everything else. Pebbles turns and he sees Peach, finally, a familiar face, but something is wrong. The lizard's head is dull of color, and its torso is covered in cysts, it's being held up by long tendrils of pinkish rot. Its eye is dead, it's dead, Peach has died and it was killed by the Rot. Clover comes next, its entire body consumed, leaving just its blacked out head visible, jaw open and drooling an acidic black liquid. One by one they all appear- Angel's been reverted to her taken over form. Cherry's fur is no longer spikey but bumpy and squishy, bright red x's covering her normally scarred eye. Cream and Sugar are taken too, Sugar's rot-infested body marred with bite marks, one of its ears is entirely gone. Even the pups, one of them has a giant tumor growing right where its heart should be. They slowly surround him, he's more than just trapped he's doomed, he will die, and then- Moon. Moon finally appears approaching him dead on. But she isn't Moon anymore. No, the Rot got her too, it's taken over her puppet, bursting under panels and her eyes have x's in them and all of her is gone except for maybe a leg, scraps of clothing, and her face.

And then, he wakes up.

So yeah my imagination is horrifying

I AM GOING. TO BITE YOU. EXPLODES YOU. KILLING AND KILLING AND KILLING YOU. HELLOO??? WHAT THE FUCK. JUST KILL ME WHY DON'T YOU HE ALREADY SUFFERS ENOUGH. OOUUGHHH ITS SO GOOD THO BUT I HATE IT AND HATE U FOR IT. THANKS/POS. AUGH.

𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡

Summary: Your gonna get lunch with Nanami.

Pairing: Nanami Kento x Filipino!GN!reader.

Genre: Fluff.

Warning/s: Small overthinking, but other than that, nothing.

Word Count: 0.6k

Prompt: "Mahal kita."

n/a: This took somehow longer to make, this was also supposed to be a blurb but I got somewhat carried away. This me gushing over tagalog translation of "I love you." Even though this is a filipino!reader, everyone is still welcome to read this!

"Maya maya po ako kakain." You paused as you looked at the time in your wrist. "Kayo Ma, Nakakain na?" You asked through your phone, not noticing the stares of the first-years and Nanami.

"Nanamin, What is sensei talking about?" Yuuji asked as the two other teens glanced at him. "They're talking to their Mother." Nanami answered calmly. "Why is she-"

"Kento." You called out getting closer to the group. "I think we should head out for lunch, my mom is asking why I haven't eaten lunch." You placed your free hand on the back of your neck as you kept your other hand occupied with your phone in hand.

"Alright then, Shall we all go?"

"Okay!" Nobara and Yuuji chimed in as Megumi only gave a small nod, while they went ahead, you stayed behind as Nanami waited for you. "Po?”

"Mag lulunch na po kami-okay, love you." you hang up whilst you pocket your phone when you notice your fiance is staring at you. "What?" you let out an airy laugh while he continues to stare at you.

Others may say that those eyes can pierce their soul, that if Nanami stared, or worse, glared at them―they could pee their pants. It's different from your perspective, he does stare, but it was a soft, gentle stare―honestly you can see the heart eyes behind it.

“Nothing.” He smiled as he started walking towards the first-years. “Come on, Kento, what is it?” You asked as you cling into his arm.

“I love you.” oh.

Even though you two are engaged, he never fails to make your heart flutter. “God, you’re lucky you're handsome.” A small tint of pink hue flashes your cheeks as he laughs at your demeanour.

Before catching up with the group, you turned around to see him behind you.

You smiled and said, “Mahal kita.” Then proceed to walk like you didn’t say something, while he was frozen. “What does that mean?” He asked, catching up whilst he walked beside you.

“Hm, I don’t know.” You teased, before he could say something, your students interrupted you.

“Let’s get ramen!”

“No! Let’s get sushi!”

While they argue what they wanted to eat for lunch, he worries about the thing you said just there. Was it something bad? Was it something you didn't want to tell him?

“Relax Kento.” You snapped his thoughts and pulled him into reality, realizing he was overthinking it. “Sorry.”

“If you’re thinking about what I just said, don’t worry.” You paused for a moment, deciding what to say. “Translate it.” You looked at him and gave him a teasing smile. He cracked a small smile as he reached for his phone in the inside pocket of his blazer.

Once he got his hand on his phone, he finally opened it and went to the translation app he installed whenever you say something he doesn’t know.

And these three years of being together, you never failed to surprise him in your own way. For once, he was thankful he had his glasses on, or else your students will see the heart eyes he flashes from his eyes.

‘I love you’ It translates. 

He types something in his phone, occasionally putting his phone into his ear, when you suddenly appear in front of him.

“The students decided to get pasta, they went ahead and–oh!” you weren’t expecting him to suddenly hug you, as he buried his face into your neck. “Are you upset? Is it because what i said earlier–”

“Mahal din kita.”

Even if his pronunciation isn’t perfect, It was enough to release the butterflies from your stomach, your heart feels like it’s gonna explode. Now your face is red.

“K-kento when– I…” You somehow forgot to speak, his voice is repeating in your mind, it was driving you nuts.

“Come on, the students are waiting.” he pulled away as he started walking at the restaurant the students went in. while there you are, frozen with your heart still beating. You didn’t imagine this situation playing out. Maybe it's because of luck?

Whatever it is, you are definitely saying that sentence often.

Translations:

Maya maya po ako kakain : I will eat later.

Kayo Ma, Nakakain na? : Have you eaten yet, Ma?

Po? : Yes? Or What?

Mag lulunch na po kami : We're gonna head for lunch now.

Mahal Kita : I love you.

Mahal din Kita : I love you too.

siso and emery are my one piece ocs !! they're mother and child basically, estranged up until wci where they reunite after 10 years of separation

siso is NOT a strawhat, just a major ally (enies lobby + marineford + punk hazard → wano)

this follows a timeline wherein yamato escapes onigashima pre-timeskip after siso washes up on onigashima one day, frees him from the exploding cuffs, and they basically explore the world together

gonna be very long so i'm putting it under the cut

emery: fishman, formerly part of whitebeard's crew before leaving (on good terms). she has complete mastery over the Voice Of All Things which pushed her to find people like her and form her own crew, the aegis pirates. they dominated the south blue, and after literally witnessing siso's birth and adopting the child, moved to paradise once roger died and the great pirate era began. personality wise, her motto is "if someone helps to you, go all out with gratitude. if someone hurts you, go all out with revenge".

siso: you know how much the sea plays a role in the narrative right? yeah. that's basically siso. he's the human embodiment of the sea. and i know how overpowered that sounds, but trust me, he's just some guy!!!! i am so serious

backstory......complicated.! wait for their wikis ^_^

trivia timeeeee (siso only, emery is still fairly new and i haven't had enough showers to think abt her character yet)

・。.・.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・

siso

is genderfluid, but only uses he/him pronouns

6'7 hunk of a bear.....he was already 5'7 at 15, had a growth spurt from 6'5 to his current height during the timeskip. he's built like a fat heavyweight guy (healthy fat, not obese or overweight). hairy all over except his face and thighs. his hands are as big as chopper's head

i KNOW that isn't very tall in the one piece universe, but keep in mind that the unaturally tall characters are usually infamous pirates/marines and he's spent (almost) all his life blending in with normal people

cringefail. can and will cry crocodile tears in front of children and scam good-natured people to get what he wants. will bring out his pathetic/lazy side so people would look down on him only to surprise them with all of his lovecraftian loser energy and laugh when everyone else thinks theyre going mad

quite literally incapable of lying—not out of guilt, but of laziness. why bother lying to someone when the depths of the ocean will swallow them whole someday and show them truths they cannot comprehend? either say the truth, keep quiet, or kill them. works like a charm!

has no sense of duty or moral obligation, much to his and everyone else's detriment. he will do and not do things based on how much fun he thinks he'll have, then complain and sulk and be generally unhelpful when wrong until he gets off the task.

odd-job man! used to be a pirate (aegis at 0-16 y/o, donquixote at 16-18 y/o) then decided to become nomadic and lay low at places where marines are prohibited (19-24 y/o) up until the year the strawhats debuted as pirates

siso's reasons for being Heroic and saving those he loves are not simply "i love you and i care about you" but more like "you're the most fun i've had in my life so who the fuck do those bitches think they are to take my happiness away from me"

has a casual manner of speaking and writing, but not so much as slang or informal. he just doesn't care all that much about honorifics and respect in formal spaces EXCEPT if he holds any personal reverence for the person he's talking to (i.e. robin)

deeply, earnestly, respects robin, even going so far as to bow, offer his seats, and say "po" and "opo" to her (filipino honorifics), even if she's just 4 years his senior. robin is like. the oden to his yamato except no kinnie stuff.....the burning of ohara and robin surviving it really moved him and made siso view her as his inspiration and light in a world so needlessly cruel

↑ also the reason why he even met the strawhats in the sea train to begin with, because he heard that robin was in danger and rushed to help

likewise—deeply, earnestly, hates zoro, but his hatred is not born from malice or ill will, but from feelings of helplessness too overwhelming to process. there stands the man who is his exact opposite, who bases his entire existence on his role as protector just to fulfill a promise to a friend long gone and to a crew too dear to lose. reckless, self-sacrificing people like him who are consumed by guilt and duty are fated to die in the most painful ways possible and siso doesn't want that, he wants zoro to live long and to fucking take care of himself, but he's helpless. he wants to grab him by the shoulders and shake some sense into him—you'll never be the greatest because your standard of greatest is a desire too grand even for the sea to grant, i don't want to be the one that will bury you in the end, fucking listen to me—but it's no use, really. all siso can do is stand back and watch zoro slowly kill himself for the people he loves. and he hates him for that

WOAG sorry that was long . this was meant to be sillayyyy (head in hands)

has a complicated relationship with sanji. on one hand, sanji's dream in finding the all blue washed away a deep-rooted despair in him and reignited his hope in becoming whole again and finding that lost part of himself, so he has high hopes from the cook and admires him. on the other, he's just so fucking weird around him. amorous to the point of being condescending whenever siso identifies as a woman. throws his used cigarettes into the sea. fucking pathetic loser of a human man. smells like uncooked fish. has a crush on him that he tries so desperately hard to hide but fails because siso doesn't lie and he can sense when others do. again, smells like uncooked fish.

like seriously what is up w u sanji-kun........stop glaring at me ur sweating thru ur pants. i can see ur bulge. stop (siso, probably)

is in a qpr with yamato!!! i call it a qpr because although you can technically classify their relationship as romantic since they kiss/pda/make-out alot, but it's a little more queer and arospec than that. siso is very conflicted with human labels and yamato grew up loveless so they're experiencing All This for the first time

literally got each other's backs 24/7. they travel together 99% of the time by ocean current or by riding sea kings—siso is responsible in keeping yamato dry and away from the seawater, yamato is responsible for keeping siso's cringefail ass away from physical harm

they don't travel together all the time though, as in both times siso appear in enies lobby/sabaody yamato isn't with him, and yams only debuts in punk hazard after the aokiji vs doflamingo vs smoker encounter

one day sanji will be welcomed in the qpr and turn it into a polycule. idk how though. maybe when she's less emotionally constipated (takes a dramatic drag from my fake cigarette)

aaaaaand that's all for now ^_^ i don't want this 2 be too long . i'll make a separate post for sisos relationships with the other strawhats teehee

really there are so very many things i would like to scream about but i cannot even begin to articulate half of them so. have this incoherent nonsense :D

[poisonouspastels]

(Prev anon asking for lore) BITING YOUR LOREDUMP SM!!!!/pos It's so interesting!! I absolutely love how you wrote it, it like, in an way started picturing an painting in my mind of how part of the stories went down. Like with Groda and the way she wanted to be a leader with all the revolts then sending herself and her loyal followers into the underground and what was describe with the people above. And how she seemingly got even worse(?) down there while now sesrching for that enternal life. And the way Herobrine finds it!!(and how hes trying to keep himself alive D:!!) Your writing for it is intriguing to me and I can say you definitely got me into it.

THANK YOU!!!!!! Legit it is SO nice to finally be able to talk about universe building stuff with someone that isnt my partner (NOT THAT I MIND TALKING TO HER AT ALL but its just nice to get it OUT THERE) and its always so hard for me to just lay out stuff unless someone asks about specific stuff which usually people dont!! and i cant just talk about the ENTIRE thing all at once because i wouldnt even know where to start or where to end!!! or what to detail!!! my brain is exploding at all times because of all the fucking writing in it. i want to talk about EVERYTHING!!! and i want people to ENJOY CONSUMPTION OF MEDIA!!!! I am incapable of being normal but people engaging with my content and asking questions brings me indescribable amount of joy ANYWAY enough about me, im glad u liked it!!! I am by no means a professional writer but getting ideas out there is so satisfying, even if it isnt really in a professional formatting. And my MC au is something im REALLY passionate about bc it brings me a lot of comfort so i just have so many ideas and things in my head and im glad they come out cohesive and actually kind of cool sounding!! And u are right Groda got VERY worse she is so up in her head about being better than everyone else and ensuring her own success that she kind of lost sight of what she was actually fighting for and now even that is gone. Like congrats bitch!! Ur a ruler of an empire that collapsed under your own fucking reign!! What now!!! Don't worry when she comes around to finding that humans exist once more in the modern time she's gonna make it everyone's problem AGAIN. Or at least the main four players. SPEAKING OF THE PLAYERS Herobrine is genuinely so fun to just do anything with. Dude literally spawned in and weeks later dedicated a majority of the next years of his life to chasing some mystery. He, at the time, is far more obsessed with the past than caring about the present where he's just this scrawny twig of a man who's barely managing to keep himself on two feet. The spider bites on his leg are IMMENSE and he even has scaring on his arm from his encounter with the Warden. As well as that facial scarring from improper use of magic

he is a CAVE RAT and i love him deeply. most ppl make Herobrine some paranormal entity thing which can be really cool!!! but i really did say hey what if i just made him some weird fucking guy. Would u believe he first met the other main players properly through Rana finding him having tripped over face first in a berry bush after trying not to be seen by them. I would. And as I put it on Discord:

HYACINTHE | CHAPTER 4: JAEMIN X READER

SUMMARY: 

Na Jaemin is far from being your typical 20 year old. Instead of slaving through college, he wastes away his hours cracking safes. Weekends that should be spent partying with friends consist of illegal races on good days and small scale bombings on bad ones. 

Na Jaemin is far from being average, unless you consider being a member of Seoul’s top organized crime family normal. There is no such thing as a sense of normality and peace in his trainwreck of a life, so when he met a barista who was brave enough to call out his dangerous taste in coffee, he was like a moth to the flame. Everything about her is normal, which means she is forbidden to him, in all sense of the word. So why, then, does he always find himself at the front steps of her shop, breaking all his personal rules even if he wishes he could stay away?

FIC TRAILER

MASTERLIST

"Hi. Can I have one iced americano, no sugar, with an espresso shot, please?" 

 My hands froze and hovered momentarily on the drink I was preparing as I heard a male voice say that from the counter. I didn't turn around to check who it was, but my boss—who is currently helping me man the cafe today—was quick enough to dash the pit-pattering of my chest. He hooked the order slip on the board in front of me and my eyes immediately raised to read the name there. 

"One to-go, americano for Youngho." 

I sighed internally. Whether it be from relief or disappointment though, I don't really know. A part of me wanted to be in denial of my emotions, but I realized you can only go so far if the person you are trying to fool is just yourself. 

It's been almost three months since that night that I last saw Jaemin. I wish I didn't know the exact number of days that passed since then, but I do and I couldn't help it. Every little detail of what happened was still marked fresh in my mind, especially the feeling of hollowness that exploded in my chest when I woke up that morning to see them gone.

If not for the chip on the edge of the table left by Jeno as he tried to hold a half delirious Haechan down that night, I could have easily brushed off everything as a fleeting dream. But it isn't. It is a nightmare, at least in my part. 

He really meant it when he said he would leave me alone. 

There were no calls, no messages, no visits, nothing. It was like he didn't exist at all, the past year spent with him nothing but an imagined illusion. 

We were back to being strangers again, exactly like how he wants to. If you think about it, it's selfless of him to do this, but I hate it. I hate it with everything I have. 

Why? Because now I have to live through the feeling that I'm the only one suffering from all of that has happened. I couldn't watch the news anymore without thinking about him. For heaven's sake, I couldn't even get an iced coffee order without freezing like a statue because I remember him. I hate it. I hate every single moment without him, as much as I didn't want to admit it.

I placed the plastic cover over the finished drink with a soft sigh before turning to hand it over to the customer. At least I can still manage to put out my well-practiced, service smile. 

"Iced Americano for Youngho," I called out into the receiving area as I slipped a straw on the cup sleeve. A tall man looked up and walked over to me to receive it. 

"Thank you for coming to Brick and Beans. I hope you visit us again soon," I said in autopilot, my words so well-rehearsed that I didn't even have to think through while delivering them. The customer smiled at me before giving me a wink.

"I sure will. Thanks for this, sweet cheeks." He turned and left the shop, leaving me slightly confused. 

My attention was then called by my boss who had just finished wiping down the counter. The man—who really has been more of a father figure than an employer for me—gave me a warm smile and motioned me over. 

"Can we talk? I have something to tell you." 

I briefly glanced at the clock. It isn't my break time yet, but the store is empty so I guess it will be fine. I shrugged. 

"Sure."

"Grab a cake for you and me while you're at it," he nodded towards the pastry fridge before walking towards the nearest empty table. I wordlessly took two slices of basque cheesecake, his favorite, before following him. The man has a mean sweet tooth and we both know it.

He was silent for a little bit as he took the fork to take a bite of his treat. I waited patiently for him to speak, hands politely folded over my lap.

"I'm going to sell the cafe." 

I blinked and stared. I wasn't expecting that at all. 

"You're… what?" 

He sighed and leaned back against his seat. He looked a little sad over what he just said but he managed to offer me a small smile.

"I'm getting older. You know how much I love this place because I started it with my late wife, but I really can't continue to manage it anymore. My children, unfortunately, do not have any plans of continuing the business. And they've been asking me to retire, too." 

I nodded slowly, taking the news bit by bit. 

"Do you already have a buyer, ahjussi?" 

"I do. It is kind of strange, actually. Someone offered to buy off the franchise at such a perfect time. And for a very good price, too." 

That made me smile. I've had this job ever since I started college so it makes me a little sad that it's going to have a new owner, but I really am happy for him. I just hope whoever buys it off takes care of it really well. The old man loves this place to bits. 

I felt him take a hold of my hands from across the table. I looked up and was met with a fatherly smile. 

"Don't worry. You won't lose your job. The new owners said that they aren't planning to change anything here and I told them that they had to take you with them." 

That made me almost want to burst into tears. I squeezed his hand back in return. 

"Ahjussi... You didn't have to do that. I can always look for another job." Who am I kidding? I know it will be hard for me to land another sideline especially with all the financial hiccups I am already dealing with so this is really sending me over to the edge of tears. 

"Nonsense. You are part of this business. You've done so much for this place so you deserve this. Don't worry, they said yes to my condition." 

I gave his hands another squeeze and he answered back with a fatherly pat. 

"Thank you…" 

"You're welcome. Just promise me, when you become a doctor, you'll give me free checkups, okay?" 

"No, I won't. Because you will always be healthy and won't need my help at all," I said with a wrinkle of my nose. 

That sent the two of us laughing. 

"When will the new owners take over?"

"By the end of the month," my eyes rounded with surprise and he nodded in understanding. "I know, I know. It really happened too fast. I can't turn down the offer though. To be honest it was way beyond what the business is worth." 

I sighed. "Well… as long as you are sure about them." 

"I am. For now, I'll be here for a bit with you. I just need to enjoy my last days here. So just don't mind your old man, okay?" 

I grinned. 

"Only if you promise to give me a free cake every day you are here." 

He reached out to ruffle my hair. 

"Deal."

----

It was a slow day at the cafe so my boss decided to turn down the jazz music that usually floats from the speakers in lieu of the television volume. It was an odd hour in the afternoon and I found myself smiling as I watched him flip the channels over to look for a good show to watch while I dried some mugs. Just then, the overhead bell on the door dinged, welcoming with it a pair of uni-looking kids. 

My boss looked over, but I was quick to jump to action instead. "I'll take care of it," I mouthed to him, to which he gave me a smile before turning his attention back to what he was doing.

"Hi. Welcome to Brick and Beans. What can I offer you today?"

"We'll have one dirty chai latte and one irish coffee over ice. Make it to go. " 

The couple offered their names and I nodded as I punched their orders on my POS. "Would you like some pastries to go with that?"

"No, that's all."

"Got it, you can wait over there to the side. I'll have your drinks with you shortly," I said with a smile. The girl pulled the boy over into the receiving area to continue their conversation. 

"So what I'm saying is, we gotta go. Tonight is going to be epic. The bets will be high for sure. We can get some mean cash if we put it in the right car." 

The other gave a soft snort and started drumming his fingers against the wood of the counter. I let their conversation act as white noise while I worked behind the bar.

"I don't know. You're not even sure who is going to be there." 

"Jeno is in the line-up. That at least is confirmed."

I dropped the metal scooper I was using on the floor with a resounding clang. 

The three others in the room looked over to me as I hurriedly picked it up with shaking hands. I gave all parties a sheepish look before turning on my back to continue what I was doing. 

This time, I was full-on listening. 

"If Jeno's going to be there, then it is a goner. There's no chance for others. It'll be full-on suicide," the boy said thoughtfully. The girl, however, shrugged in reply. 

"They said the others might come, too. You know, to make the run a little bit more balanced," she offered. 

"You mean the seven?"

"The Four, at least."

"Oh shit."

"Uh-huh. So I'm telling you, we gotta be there man. If we can't bet then fine, but we have to see it. It’s been ages since they actually went on lane." 

I didn't really know how I managed to finish what I was doing, not with how hard my heart was beating in my chest. I'm not sure how many Jeno's there are in this part of town, but I am sure as hell that there is only one who is a member of a seven-piece 'group.' 

"Here's your order," I said thinly as I pushed the finished drinks over to them by the counter. The boy offered his card and I took it quickly, all the while thinking of what I should do next. The few seconds of me typing away at the terminal was the longest quarter minute of my life.

"Here's your receipt. Thank you for coming and see us again," I said, my voice a little weaker than usual. The couple gave a quick bow before turning to leave, drinks in hand. 

There are two ways this could go. I could let them out of that door and have my only possible chance of getting in contact with any of the boys leave with them. Or I could call after them and…

I whipped around to call out to my boss, my figure already halfway out from the bar. 

"Ahjussi, I'll be back in five minutes, sorry. I promise I'll be quick!"

He had barely looked up when I started running out the door.

-----

"Excuse me!" 

The duo looked back at me, then at each other in confusion as I tried my best to hurry up to them without landing on my face. God, why do they walk so fast? They were just a few seconds ahead when they left the shop! Thankfully, they stopped at my call, giving me a chance to skid before them as I tried to catch my breath.

"Um… Is there a problem? We paid, right?" The boy asked me with an odd look. I waved my hand before finally trying to answer. 

"Yes. I uh—"

Well, I obviously didn't plan this out clearly. How do I say this now without sounding like a lunatic? 

"I heard your conversation earlier. You were talking about Jeno."

The pair exchanged glances again, this time tinged with suspicion. It was the girl who answered this time. 

"Yes, we were. What about it?" 

"I… I just want—to maybe know where he is? You were talking about tonight's—"

"The drag race?"

I stopped for half a heartbeat before nodding. 

"Yeah. The race. I wanted to come, too, but I don't really know the address." 

The boy cocked his brow at me in blatant suspicion. It took all of me to pull out all the basics I learned from drama class back in high school to remain calm before his withering glare. 

"You know Jeno but don't know the address? That doesn't make any sense," he said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "If you've been in one before you should have been included in the text blast."

Oh shit. 

I could feel my palms growing cold from nervousness. Still, I tried pushing on. 

"W-well, I was invited before by one of them. But then things fell apart and I started not getting any of the...texts anymore," I said, not having the slightest idea of what I am saying myself. What's ironic though was that what I just blurted out was sort of a half-truth, too.

Apparently—and miraculously—it also made sense by the look of understanding that dawned on their faces. 

"I see…" the girl trailed off. She cleared her throat and looked at her friend before glancing at me again. 

"Look, I can give you the address, but promise me that you never got it from me when someone asks, okay?" She asked. The boy looked at her incredulously.

"Are you crazy? She was already shadow banned!"

She shushed him and waved her hand off to shut him up. "Look, this is a girl thing. Don't mess with it. Just go ahead to the car, I'll take care of it." 

He scoffed but stalked off towards the direction of the parking lot. 

She turned towards me again and pulled her phone from the pocket of her leather jacket. I watched as she unlocked the screen before showing it to me. 

"Do you have your phone with ya? Here, take a photo of this address." 

I swear I could almost kiss her. I scrambled to get my phone from my back pocket and didn't waste another second to take a snap of her screen.

"Thank you so much." 

She nodded in understanding before locking her phone again and shoving it into her pocket. "Hey, a girl's gotta stand up for another. Who was it? Was it Haechan?" 

"Um…" 

She didn't wait for me to finish. 

"Really, whoever it is among them, I can't really blame you. They're all cute, but they do need to be taken down a notch when it comes to girls. Those boys," she tsked. "Dangerous." 

Oh…

Oh. She thought I was an ex-fling who wanted to teach one of them a lesson by crashing the race. I let that sink in before a frown settled on my features. 

Well, aren't you one? The devil on my shoulder cackled at me sardonically. 

"Glad to have helped though. But remember, you didn't get it from me, okay?"

With a wink, she strutted off, leaving me staring at her retreating form. 

----

I told myself I simply wanted to see him again. 

I reminded myself that for the hundredth time tonight as I parked my car on a free space by a gravel road, my eyes roaming the darkness beyond. The place looked deserted, and I had to do one last check if I really put in the right coordinates on my map before finally turning off my engine. The road beyond was wide but uncemented and to its left is a half unfinished building with metal banisters reaching out to the sky like skeletal arms. I swallowed. Every little thing about the space beyond screams danger.

Which probably means I am in the right place. 

I reached out to zip up my jacket and pulled the hoodie over my head before getting out of my car. My sneakers crunched on the gravel as I made my way towards a low wall circling the building beyond. 

Just try and take a look. You don't have to talk to him. You can keep your distance. 

I repeated that in my head again and again as I approached what I assume to be the entrance. A part of me still wants to berate myself for doing this but I am too far gone to try and play the denial game again. I want, no, I need to see Jaemin's world.

The moment I passed through a crack on the wall, it felt like I stepped into a different world. It opened up into an even wider area, the shadows of a multi-lane road behind the abandoned building beyond. Milling around is a throng of people, some smoking, others sipping on red cups on their hands. Some cars were parked against the wall I just passed, their headlights on with music booming out of their rolled down windows. 

I tried to swallow the lump on my throat as I looked around. Already, I felt out of place in the crowd, but I steeled myself to push on, my hands digging deeper into the pockets of my jacket.

"Hey." 

I looked up to see a boy around my age wave at me. He was also holding a red cup and what looked like a bundle of paper. My eyes widened as that came into focus when he got closer. 

Money. 

Wads and wads of cash. 

"You put your bets already?" He asked as he stuffed the bills into a small belt bag hidden beneath his oversized shirt. He pulled his phone out then, unlocked the screen, and looked at me, waiting for an answer. 

"Uh…" 

He gave me an odd look.

"Who are you betting on?" He asked again. 

I gave the first name I could only think of. 

"Ja-Jaemin," I stuttered.

That earned me a low whistle from him as he typed away at his phone, probably to record my choice of 'player.' "I don't know, man. Dude seems pretty out of it lately, but whatever floats your boat." He stuck out his hand to me then, and it took me a few seconds to realize what he was asking for. 

"Oh," I scrambled to grab my purse. I was in the middle of pulling my card from my wallet when I saw his face. Slowly, I put it back to reach out for bills instead. 

"Cash only." 

I sheepishly handed him the last few hundreds I have. He took them, expertly flipping through each bill to count them off. 

"First time, eh?" 

I nodded. 

I watched as he slipped the money into his already overflowing belt bag, thinking that he would leave after that. Instead he nudged his head towards the direction of the building and motioned me along. 

"Come on then. At least try and get a good look at your first race." 

I blinked in confusion but ran after him as he started walking away. 

We stopped at the front row of the half ring of people that had already gathered in front of the abandoned rafters. Just then, a huge spotlight shone over the road behind it, driving everyone to erupt in cheers. Parked in a single line at the foot of the road are five cars, headlights opening one by one.

"Jaemin's the yellow one," the boy nodded towards the one occupying the third lane. I stared. I know next to nothing about cars, but I know enough to be sure that none of the ones in front of me now are something you can buy from your run-of-the-mill auto dealer. Lowered, with shining reams, and a low motor hum that reverberated to where I was standing, I could only briefly compute in my head how much each of those customized rides must have cost. 

I heard the boy beside me snort amusedly. "Your first race and you get to see this. I'm telling you, this happens once in a blue moon," he said with a smirk. I didn't say anything, my gaze never leaving the yellow car. 

Slowly though, I noticed the crowd's noise die down dramatically the same time that a petite form walked out from the building. The woman stopped in the middle of the road and raised her hand into the night sky, a small pistol in her grasp.

Everyone has gone so quiet now that you could almost hear a needle dropping. Just then, the resounding bang of a gunshot pierced the air. Few other large spotlights turned on simultaneously, revealing the snaking road ahead that was disguised under the darkness earlier. I gasped. The roaring sound of engines blared beyond and with a new uproar from the crowd, the cars were speeding ahead, leaving trails of light in their wake. 

My heart was beating so hard against my chest as I tried my best to follow the speeding cars ahead. I was only able to comprehend the real expanse of the road the moment each ride took over its lanes—the place looked more like an abandoned air dock field more than anything else. I was barely aware of my nails digging on the palms of my hands as my eyes switched from Jaemin’s car and the others, particularly on the deep red one that he was currently toe in toe with. The space between the two were a hair’s breadth away and I could almost swear their sides would collide any second. 

That went on until a curve on the road appeared. It was the last turn before the finish line and the crowd turned wilder as the nose of each car tried its best to take the lead. I didn’t even realize that I was holding my breath until the last second when the yellow one took over the inner space of the road before swerving successfully ahead.

Everyone around me erupted in cheers. I gave my own gasp, hands covering my lips before joining the rest.

Jaemin’s yellow lambo parked on the finish line, the rest of the race participants trailing behind. I watched as his door opened, revealing his beautiful wide grin and tousled hair. He was glowing, cheeks flushed from the adrenaline. I was so caught up in the image that I barely noticed Jeno appearing from the red car, followed by Renjun, Mark, and Haechan from the other rides. 

I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but I watched with a smile as they huddled over Jaemin, playfully pushing and cajoling him for his win. They looked happy, carefree.

But it seems like they aren’t the only ones who were out there in the road. My gaze moved back to Jaemin's car when I saw his passenger seat open. As if in slow motion, a girl got out of it, wearing the same wide smile the others have. The group hooted at her as she joined their huddle. 

That’s when I felt as if time has stopped.  

The smile on my face slowly faded as I watched Jaemin wrap his arms around her before pulling her into a tight hug.

A/N: Hey guys! This is going to be the second to the last chapter of Jaemin’s side story! I originally wanted to finish it in one go, but I thought it would be nice to release the epilogue on Nana’s birthday! So yes, that’ll be out on the 13th, lol. Thank you so much to those who have continued reading this side fic! <3

Chapter 5 (END)

My dear partner,

Happy holidays, Varian. Honestly, I wish this time of year was less busy so I'd get to spend more time with you, but alas, work as a detective never stops - even when the holidays roll around. Still, I know for a fact that I do have some time off coming soon. I'd like to spend that time with you, if you don't mind.

But surely, you won't - you love me, don’t you? Hah, teasing aside, it would be lovely to spend some time with you. We could make some tea and enjoy sitting by the fire. I think that would be an absolutely lovely way to spend time with you, my love.

Of course, there's also the matter of gifts. I have yours all prepared and I know for a fact that you will love them. My intuition doesn't lie and that's precisely what I followed when I was picking them out for you. I can't wait to see you open them.

Man alive, I have to go now - duty calls. But I'll leave you with this: I love you so much and I'll see you soon.

Until then - think of me.

Yours,

Heizou ^.<
