Forming a secret organization [Dream SMP] liveblog and summary!
Good laugh times: 7:40, 1:18:15, 1:19:25
Protect mr philza minecraft from baby zombies (he really went all out on that bit today): 20:35, 32:40 34:45, 1:16:35
Sellout pog: 30:45, 1:00:50, 1:30:55, 2:01:15
Summary:
Techno started the stream in the Nether. He quickly went back to the overworld and to his house, where he meets up with Phil and Ranboo. He mentions that the house smells like gunpowder, and Phil quickly ushers them outside and they continue their conversation.
Techno nudges Ranboo away from the conversation, and he leaves the call. Phil and Techno watch as Ranboo leaves the house, and then Techno tells Phil his news. He talks about how taking down L’Manburg wasn’t the greatest plan, especially as he’s only one person. He wants to bring other people to their anarchist ways.
Phil agrees to form a secret organization for anarchists, because they can’t fight ten to one.
Techno and Phil go to Ranboos house, asking for a feather, and Ranboo asks if he’s getting kicked out. They say no, and then Ranboo says that he has something that might get him kicked out.
He talks about how he sometimes doesn’t remember what he does, and that he was the person who blew up the community house.
Techno asks why, and Ranboo says he doesn’t know.
Phil and Techno agree that they don’t really care about the community house, and Ranboo continues, saying that he has one of the discs. Phil and Techno agree again that they don’t care about the discs at all.
Techno and Phil leave.
Techno leads Phil to a stronghold, which he calls a ‘structure,’ and they cover it with gravel to hide it. They enter the structure, and they find a library, some useless doors, and keep exploring, finding nothing. Techno is confused, thinking that there had to have been a reason for the stronghold's existence.
While looking at a connected Abandoned Mineshaft, Techno finds an enchanted golden apple.
They go into the lower parts of the stronghold, and they find a prison. Techno mentions that the bread he found earlier tasted around 2,000 years old, which gives us a rough (and joking) estimate of when the stronghold was made.
Phil finds a strange portal, and they talk about how advanced the previous civilization must had been, to be able to make unbreakable blocks. They hear a villager writing, and dig up to a strange room.
It ends up being the igluu where Orphans parents lived, and they start laughing, but then, DreamXD logs in. He breaks the portal, and then leaves. Techno begs dream to put the portal back, because it would’ve added to the lore, and that their characters didn’t know what it was, and were going to use it as a table.
Dream logs in again, and puts one (1) portal frame block down, and then leaves again. Phil tells Dream how to place the blocks incorrectly so they wouldn’t form a portal, and he logs in to place them back.
DreamXD hears Techno joking about going to the end, logs in, and then logs out when Techno says he’s joking. Then, Techno explains the difference between DreamXD and Dream, saying that DreamXD has canonical access to creative mode, and is like God, but Dream is just some homeless teletubby. DreamXD logs in, says ‘they actually are I am the protector,” and logs out.
In chat, Techno asks ‘who was that dram fanboy, how did he get whitelisted,’ and DreamXD logs in again, hits Techno with a sword a few times, and logs out.
Techno and Phil decorate the meeting room a bit, and they start talking about what the association should be called. Techno says that he wants it to be the ‘[blank] Syndicate,’ and before they can agree on anything, Ranboos nametag is spotted, and they agree to kill him if he comes into the meeting room.
Techno puts down a sign with the organization's motto, which is ‘Sic semper tyrannis,’ which means ‘thus always to tyrants.’
He starts writing in the manifesto.
“This syndicate is formed to promote anarchy and fight tyranny in all its forms.
“We shall have no Leader; no member shall be compelled to act if they do not choose to.
“No member shall reveal information about the Syndicate to outsiders.
“Technoblade shall serve as the Recruiter to induce new members into the Syndicate with Approval from a Majority of members.”
Phil and Techno leave the Stronghold, and realize that the Igluu wasn’t actually Orphans parents, but instead a different Igluu that Ranboo had been using for Cartographers. They go back to the house, planning to meet with Ranboo, but on the way, they find a strange tower made of stone. Its hollow, but theres no chests or anything inside. They continue and meet with Ranboo, who has gifts for them. Techno gets a Netherite shovel with Efficiency V, Mending, Silk Touch, and Unbreaking III.
He brings them under his house, and we find he has a ‘comfort room,’ made of netherrack, that has several mob heads on the walls, an extra set of armor, and pets sitting next to the ladder. They talk about the map on the wall, and Techno seems concerned, or a bit scared.
Techno and Phil leave the call, and talk about how extremely strange the room, and Ranboo, was. They recount their adventure, and move the villagers into a more efficient layout. Ranboo joins them after a few minutes, at 1:38:00, and they work on curing the zombie villagers and giving them jobs

And i am SO excited to see all yalls analysis for what other people think of him ahhHHH i love analysis.
1:17:10 “whose idea was it to make baby zombies stronger? Why are the babies stronger?? Have you ever fought a baby in real life? I have, and it was trivially easy to defeat, Phil.” TECHNO????

A Life With You Part 2
Hi Everyone. I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry it took me so long to update this story. I was busy taking care of my sick mother who just passed away September 1st 😭. I hope that i can continue to update this story more frequently, but if i’m being honest, i’m winging it as I go. But feedback will deff motivate me to figure out where this story is going 🥰 Thank u to those who like it so far and without further ado, here’s Part 2. 😘 (ha! that rhymed! 😉) *sorry for any mistakes*
Growing up, you were never the one guys went after. You were never flirted with, you were never asked out on dates and you were never one to be looked at twice. You were basically invisible... until you met Dean Winchester. Maybe it was because he doesn’t judge or because he felt bad for you, either way, Dean Winchester seemed to understand you and made you feel “seen”. He listened when you spoke, gave advice when he could and made you feel wanted.
Maybe that’s why you let yourself think that Dean had feelings for you. No one had ever made an effort to care about you or make you smile like he did. No one had ever gone out of their way to make sure you felt comfortable. No one had ever made you feel loved before. Sure, Sam, Cas & Jack all care about you, but none of them treated you like Dean has so you knew they loved you like family but Dean? That was a different kind of love, or so you convinced yourself....and boy, were you wrong.
So now, here you are, in a grocery store, with a cart full of junk you just threw in there, tears in your eyes, sadness in your heart and questions on your mind.
“How do I go back to how things were? How do I act like Dean didn’t just rip my heart out of my chest? How am I going to react when I see him flirt with random women now that my feelings for him are out in the open? Even worse, how will I react when he goes off to fuck some bar skank?”
That last thought brought a fresh new batch of tears rolling down your cheeks.
“What have I gotten myself into?”
You shake your head, wipe the tears and continue with your shopping, in zombie-mode, while you try to figure out how to fix the mess you created.
Back at the Bunker, Dean goes back into the library and he’s antsy. He can’t stop thinking about you and the look on your face when he told you he doesn’t feel the same way. He can’t stop thinking about you crying inside Baby. He needs to get out... He needs to clear his head.... He needs to hunt!
He immediately opens his laptop and begins looking for a case. It doesn’t matter what kind or how dangerous it is, he needs to kill something... he needs to get rid of the guilt that’s suffocating him. You’re his best friend, the person he can confide in, the best person he knows, and now he hurt you. He was always the one defending you and protecting you from those that hurt you, he never in a million years thought he would be the one you need protecting from. It took a couple of hours but he was able to find a Salt and Burn in nearby Junction City. He bolts to his room and packs the necessary weapons he needs and once he’s done, he paces, waiting for you to return with Baby.
An hour has passed and you finally return. Your eyes are puffy and your nose is stuffy from all the crying. You know you told Dean that you were cool but now that you’ve had a few hours to think about it, you don’t have the slightest clue as to how you’re going to act around him. I mean, before you opened your mouth and said anything about your feelings, you suffered in silence everytime he went off with some bimbo for the night. You never said anything and never showed how you felt because you had no right. He had no idea how you felt but hopefully, fingers crossed, he’ll be more discreet so he doesn’t hurt you any further. The more you think about everything, the more your head hurts. You still havent recovered from your slight hangover and now the added stress of “the situation” is giving you a migraine. You need a nap.
You put the groceries and first aid items away and you go to your room, which happens to be 2 doors down from Dean’s. The moment the door closes behind you, you throw yourself face first into your bed and try to fall asleep, which, surprisingly, happens within 2 minutes.
The moment Dean hears her door close, he waits 5 minutes before sneaking out of his room. He hops into Baby and speeds out of the garage to, hopefully, relieve the immense guilt he feels.
By the time he arrives in Junction City, the salt and burn was already taken care of, much to Dean’s dismay. Since he drove all the way there for no case, he figured a stop in the local bar was called for.
He walks into the bar and almost immediately someone calls out his name. “Dean!”
Dean looks to his left and spots Garth in the corner, waving a beer in the air.
“Dean! Over here!”
Dean walks over and greets him. “Hey, Garth. What brings you around?”
“Oh, you know, a salt and burn. You?”
“That was you?! Damn, I really needed that hunt.”
A waitress comes over and takes Dean’s order of a beer and 2 shots of whiskey, neat.
“What’s wrong?” asks Garth.
Dean sighs heavily and tells him what happened between the two of you.
“Huh.”
“What?” asks Dean.
“Nothing, just, I always thought you two would get together at some point.”
Dean chokes on his beer. “Wh-what? What do you mean? We’re just friends.”
“Well, yeah, but I mean, you two are practically attached at the hip. You know each other inside and out and you argue like a married couple, so I just assumed it was a matter of time before you two made it official.”
“We’re just friends” repeats Dean, in an almost rehearsed way.
“Well, if she confessed her feelings for you, I’m pretty sure she did it because she thought you felt the same way. If you’re just friends, then what gave her the impression you had feelings for her when you don’t?” asked Garth.
“I...”
“That’s a good question” thought Dean.
Garth gets up to use the bathroom while Dean sits at the table, thinking.... until it finally hit him! Everything he does for you, the coffees, the forehead kisses, the lingering touches, carrying you to bed when you fall asleep in Baby, everything he does for you has been giving you false hope. He’s been leading you on without even realizing it and he can’t believe he had to break your heart to realize the damage he’s been doing to you. He’s sick to his stomach. How could he have been so blind?! Of course you would think he has feelings for you when he was treating you like a girlfriend.
If he thought the guilt was bad before, its nothing compared to now. At least now, he understands the guilt. He walks up to the bar and order more shots of whiskey and tells the bartender to “keep ‘em coming”.
About 4 shots in, a beautiful, busty brunette makes her way over to Dean.
“If its a distraction you need, sugar, all you have to do is ask” she says as she downs one of his shots.
Dean takes one look at her, downs his last shot and leaves the bar with her. He knows going home with the brunette isn’t going to solve anything, but he’s clearly not thinking straight and decides to just “go with the flow”.
The next morning, or rather, early afternoon, you wake up with puffy eyes and a headache. You rub your eyes and take a nice deep inhale and exhale. You’ve had the night to sleep on it and you have come to a conclusion. You decided that your friendship with Dean was way too important to you and something you refuse to lose. So, starting today, you’re going to put your feelings for him aside and be his friend. You now know that his nice gestures were simply that.... nice gestures. They didn’t mean what you thought they meant and maybe if you act like everything is fine, then it will be. You got up and used the bathroom. You made sure to wash your face and tried to get rid those puffy eyes. When you thought you looked semi-presentable, you went out to the kitchen, where you found Sam.
“Morning, Sammy. How was the hunt? How are Jody and the girls doing?”
“Morning, Munchkin.” says Sam as he gets up and gives her a bear hug.
“The hunt was good. Easy vamp nest. Jody and the girls are good, they say “hi” and that they miss you”
“Aww. I miss them too! I’m going to have to go visit them soon.”
As you make your way over to the coffee pot, Sam is looking at you. Even though you’re trying to act as if your heart wasn’t broken, Sam could tell something happened while he was gone because when he got home, the impala wasn’t in the garage and it looks like you have been crying. Sam adores you and sees you as a little sister so if someone hurt you, he’d do anything to protect you.
“Where’s Dean?”
You look at him confused. “Dean’s not here?”
“No. The impala’s not in the garage.” says Sam as he gauges your reaction.
As soon as Sam said that Baby wasn’t in the garage, you immediately felt sick to your stomach.
All you can think is, “I drove him away. Literally. My confession made him so uncomfortable he couldn’t stand to be under the same roof as me. I ruined it. I ruined our friendship. I ruined everything!”
As you’re thinking, your eyes begin to water. You don’t realize it until Sam calls your name.
“Munchkin, are you ok?”
You realize you were staring off into space, so you look at him and will your tears not to fall down your face.
“Y-yeah, I-“
Suddenly, the Bunker door loudly opens and Dean’s footsteps can be heard coming down the stairs. You immediately stiffen and freeze, something Sam doesn’t miss.
Dean walks into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water but stops as soon as he sees you and Sam.
Acting as if nothing’s wrong he says, “Hey Sammy”. He looks at you, swallows hard and says, “Hey, Y/N”.
Those tears you were so desperately trying to keep at bay begin to fall down your face like a waterfall. Dean, almost forgetting what happened the day before, tries to comfort you but you just walk right past him and go straight to your room.
“What happened, Dean?”
Dean is at a loss. He simply shrugs his shoulders and walks past Sam and goes to his room as well.
Once in his room, he takes off his jacket and flannel and goes over to his sink and splashes water over his face. When he looks in the mirror his heart nearly stops, because right there, on the left side of his neck, clear as day, is the hickey the brunette from the night before left on him. He has to take a step back he’s so shocked!
No wonder you left the kitchen with tears cascading down your face. Not only did he reject your feelings and sneak out without you hearing or noticing, but you probably think he purposefully went looking to sleep with anyone that wasn’t you just so he could get your confession out of his head.
If your heart was broken before, it’s shattered into sand now and its all his fault. Tears well up in his eyes and they slowly start to fall down his face as he asks himself, “What have I done?”

its only logical
(loceit angst? More likely than you think! Anyways hello and enjoy this piece of garbage that I call my writing. I might tun this into a mini au… so you might get a second part later)
started this yesterday afternoon and havent slept since :P
 word count:5461
warnings: angst and remus being remus.(tell me if yall need more)
-Logan has had enough of the light sides not listening to him. And after being silenced… well, Janus knows how it feels and offers him a place at his side as a fellow dark. He takes the offer. –
Come along with me And the butterflies and bees
 Logan stared at the computer screen in front of himself. He knew that this would be worthless… he knew that they wouldn’t stick to his schedule. They hadn’t last time or the several times before then. A wish upon a star…
He looked at the computer before closing it over and rubbing his neck. The bruise that spanned over the back had gone down to a light pale green, but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
Janus had immediately apologized when he had hooked his neck instead of his shoulder.
After the video he had actually came to check up on him. He had been doing so for a while thinking about it. Every other day at least. For two weeks now.
He had been meaning to ask the other something. The date on the wall showed that today would be a visiting one. A small smile came on his face and was just as quickly gone.
He couldn’t feel emotion. He was the brain. He didn’t have any.
 “lying to yourself again about that?” the familiar voice rang through his room. “its not a lie, it’s the truth,” “and my job is dealing with Thomas’s creativity,” he sighed, “so, what’s wrong?”
“why is everything I do ignored, why do I try so hard to be seen when I never do in the end,” Logan muttered, “am I just doing things that will inevitably be ignored.”
 Logan turned his eyes to see Janus sitting on the edge of his bed. Looking like he was processing what to say next before his eyes lit up slightly. “then come join me!” he cheered, “join me in the dark side.”
Logan hadn’t been expecting that of all things. He had to process for a couple seconds… joining the dark sides?
That actually that didn’t sound so bad when he thought about it. “think about it, were both not listened to, we could use the company and if we work together, they might listen!” Janus sounded almost like a child on Christmas.
Logan let a small smile appear, “how would we do it?”
Janus smiled back, “I can move your room but ill be out like a light as soon as it’s done,”
Logan pondered a little longer before nodding.
 As said Janus snapped his fingers and collapsed but was caught by the logical side who moved him onto his bed.
Was that really it? Was that all it took?
We can wander through the forest And do so as we please
 Once he got the other in a comfier position he cautiously walked over to his door. He gave it a small nudge and it creaked open. The first thing he noticed was the amount of plants in the hall. The walls were black and the floor a sleek wood.
It felt homely compared to the plain empty white one of the lights.
 He closed the door as he re entered his room. He sighed and sat down in the spinney chair. He twisted it back to the computer that lay closed over. He opened the laptop and began to type.
--
He wasn’t sure when he had fallen asleep. But he had awoken on his bed where Janus should have been.
Wait… oh, yes that was something he had forgotten about quickly. But a smile formed as he made his way to the door and down the hall. There was space between a few plants that were able to fit doors. The only ones there being a bright yellow and dark navy door.
 He wondered how long he’d been asleep for. He heard footsteps coming down the hall, ones he could easily pinpoint as Janus.
He had been surprised when he realized the smile on his face had yet to disappear.
When Janus turned the corner and into Logan’s view, he could feel the blush forming.
The deceitful side was in black shorts and a plain short sleeved yellow shirt. His long hair in a messy bun. He still looked half asleep.
He was holding two cups. He guessed that’s where the coffee smell was coming from.
 “good morning Logan,” he said as he caught sight of the other standing at the door. “good morning to you too Janus.” “coffee, black three sugars,” he was handed a black mug.
He opened his door and reentered the smallish room, the other close behind.
 He looked over to his desk and the computer. Last night he managed to get over half of a weeks forth of work done. One or two more hours and it might be done on time.
A small part of him began to wonder if the others had noticed if he had left to join the scaley side.
 He looked over to the other who had wrapped himself with the several blankets that had occupied his bed.
“I have an idea id like to try,” logic said, catching the attention of the other. “and what would that be?” he could tell the other was curious. “I think an outfit change is in order.”
--
 Janus sleepily smiled at the other as he began to open the wardrobe and pull out different artifacts of clothing. most were different shades of blue. But the ones that had caught Janus’s eyes were the couple pieces of coral colored clothing.
It wasn’t much but they seemed to be the few pieces to stand out in his mind.
 Once the coffee kicked in, he unraveled himself and made his way over to the pile.
A plain white long-sleeved shirt, dark grey knee shorts and a coral moth-eaten hoodie. Black combat boots also had caught his attention.
he grabbed the pieces and shoved them in the arm of the other. He looked at Logan with a grin as he made his way to the small bathroom connected to the room.
 A small blush appeared on the scaled side. He was happy to see the other shedding his skin for something new. He chuckled at the unintentional pun that had slipped through his thoughts.
It was another five minutes before the other stepped out in the new outfit.
It took Janus a while to process what he was seeing. Snapping out of his thoughts as the other shifted in his spot for a couple seconds. “that’s the one,” Janus grinned.
Logan blushed for a couple seconds as he looked at his new friend.
Come along with me To a cliff under a tree
 It was another four hours of them cuddling when he felt it
That familiar tug on the stomach. He was being summoned by one of the others or Thomas. And apparently it wasn’t just him. Janus had shifted to look at the other in confusion.
 “should we go?” Janus asked the other. “I think we should. They are going to find out sooner or later,” he groaned.
 The tug came back for the two of them. they quickly stood up and grabbed the tugging sensation and followed it into Thomas’s living room.
 When they rose up the first thing, they had seen was the confused looks of the others. Most likely because they weren’t waring what they usually wearing.
 “I didn’t catch you at a bad time, did I?” Thomas asked guiltily. “no, you didn’t, now what seems to be the problem Thomas,” Logan said.
“actually, can I just ask why we needed deceit of all people here for this,” Virgil growled.
“we need Janus’s input too Virge,” Patton said calmly.
 The conversation went on from there. Several times the logical side and deceitful side had been interrupted or ignored.
They looked at each other before Janus pulled everyone’s hand’s over their mouths other than Logan.
 They looked over to Janus who stood with an icy glare. Logan’s eyes holding the same look.
It was at that moment the lights looked at Logan waiting for him to explain. “I’ve had enough. I’ve told you before you don’t listen to me, and this is your consequence.”
“we’re tired of being ignored. If you want us, we will be ignoring you,” Janus gave a sickly smile as he sunk out.
Logan stayed as the others finally had the ability to speak. “Logan” Thomas muttered. “if you don’t want to listen, then don’t. but we will make you listen.”
He sunk out.
 He arrived next to Janus who was rubbing his temples. He didn’t blame the other, the others were always difficult to deal with.
He gingerly walked over to the other and pulled him into a loose hug. He felt the other hug back, head resting on his own due to the height difference.
 They stood like that for a small while longer. Both not wanting to let go but knowing they would have to in the end.
 Where we can gaze upon the water As an everlasting dream
 Two weeks since the incident and things had slowly begun to change between the two of them quickly. Logan could feel himself showing emotion. He could finish work quicker knowing that Janus wouldn’t get angry at him if he didn’t get it done on time. He also spent more time in the others room.
Janus had always been closed off. Mainly in fear that if he got too close people it would just hurt if they left. But now he was spending most of his time stroking Logan’s hair as they cuddled on the couch in the dark communal area.
 Logan had been asleep for around half an hour. Head resting on his chest as he cuddled the other like a koala. the shift in the air was enough for Janus to look around. Standing by the entrance were two people he wishes weren’t there.
Patton and Thomas.
 They looked over in his direction and looked almost startled upon seeing him. I moved my hand and put a finger up to my lips, they better be quiet.
Seeming to take the hint they slowly made their way forwards.
They seemed to understand upon seeing Logan cuddled up on top of me. A smile etched on their faces and Patton trying not to squeal. “what do you want now?” I whispered. “we came to apologies, I know its late but we were trying to get the other to come as well,” Patton whispered back.
 He couldn’t taste a lie. So that was a start.
“I can take forgive you, but my trust won’t be so easily won by an apology. As said before, there is only so many apologies one can take.”
Logan shifted slightly, nuzzling further into my side.
 A small smile plastered on my face as looked down at him. “you two are good for each other,” Thomas muttered but was caught by my ear causing me to blush. “id suggest coming around later to apologies to Logan, he can sleep like a log some times,” I whispered.
 They gave a quick nod before disappearing. Well… he hoped they would at least. They had a lot to say sorry for to Logan and he would get them to apologies for everything if needed.
 He stayed there for another hour before the other had slowly began to wake up. he knew that it would be another couple hours before the others came back.
 Janus moved slightly so the other could sit up as he rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes. Janus handed him his glasses that were on top of his head.
“thanks.” “come on I think we should have lunch,” Janus said as he ruffled the others hair, “you want noodles?”
--
 Logan hadn’t been expecting much to happen that day so he thought he could spend a bit more time napping after lunch. But when he entered his room, the last thing he was expecting was Virgil of all people.
 His eyeshadow was darker than the norm, but other than that nothing had really changed. “salutations Virgil.”
 Virgil stared at the other almost like he didn’t know what to say. But his nervous fidgeting made it clear he would need to wait a couple minuets for the other to gather some courage.
 “I’m sorry, I’m sorry I keep ignoring you,” he exclaimed as he looked away from the other. “whilst I can accept your apology I won’t be able to forgive you, not until I know it won’t happen again,” he looked at the anxious side with a look that could only be described as cold.
 Virgil sighed and stood up, “then I will try my best teach.” “do understand that its not only me you need to apologies to.”
He saw the other wince at his declaration. But he also saw knowingness in his eyes. No words were spoken. Virgil only nodded before sinking out.
 All of my collections I'll share them all with you
 Logan had been working for a while when he decided to go check on the other. he would need to ask someone soon why he kept getting a weird feeling in his stomach whilst around the other. Also, why his cheeks kept going warm… maybe he was allergic to something.
 He made his way to the communal area and mentally noted to water all the plants later if Janus had forgotten to do so.
Logan sighed as he placed his hands inside his hoodie’s pockets. He really had changed over the course of two weeks. Well that would make sense.
Without people putting him down an telling him what he should and shouldn’t be doing all the time, he was… re discovering himself he supposed.
--
The kitchen had been where he found the other. He had a plate with some abomination. Cupcake frosting and a packet of corn chips.
He had seen the other eating them a couple days ago and had been slightly mortified.
Well… he didn’t really say anything. He was the one who ate jam straight from the jar after all.
 “how are you this evening?” Logan asked looking at the other. “tired, gay and stressed. Also waiting.” “waiting for who?”
“Thomas and Patton. They came over earlier whilst you were napping. They came to apologies to us both. You being asleep I said they could come by later. I should have given them a time,” he groaned and banged his head of the table.
 Logan laughed at the others dramatics.
“Virgil came to apologies earlier,” Logan said as he reached for a jar of jam. “wait. He did?”
“yup, I told him I couldn’t forgive him, but I might one day,” he paused to open the jar, “I think the same applies to everyone else honestly,”
 It was then that the feeling in the room shifted. They had come back.
Nodding, they put their respective foods down and made their way back into the main area.
 Thomas, Patton and Virgil this time. Each one shifting nervously upon seeing the two standing there holding hands.
Logan and Janus slowly etched their way forwards before gesturing for the three sides to take a seat on the sofa.
They sat not talking for a couple minuets. No one really knowing what to say in case they scared each other off or say anything that could cause another argument.
 “I know you want to apologies, and what I said to Virgil applies to both of you, I can’t forgive any one of you. Yet. And my trust will have to be earned back. If I’m ignored, I won’t be silent anymore,”
 Patton weakly smiled, “I think that’s fair kiddo. And if you want to stay here whilst we try and re build what we’ve broken,” he gestured to the other two in the room, “then that fine by me at least. Its clear that you two need each other. And I won’t take that away.”
 The two sat there stunned. Processing what was being said.
“well, I suppose I should say sorry to you too Janus,” Virgil mumbled, hiding his head in his hood.
Janus looked at the other with weary eyes, “no, in this case it should be I,” he stated, “I was the one to drive you away.”
“but it was me who always caused the arguments, you just wanted me to be safe, but I kept resisting any of your attempts to help,” Virgil’s voice broke at the end, “and because I felt a rift between you and Remus formed. And then he left. God knows how long you’ve been here alone.”
 Everyone in the room seemed to go quiet. “then maybe we should both say we suck at apologies and try to rebuild what remains,” Janus said causing Virgil to give a small laugh. “yeah, and I don’t expect you to trust me either,”
 They stayed a little longer. Deciding to play a couple episodes of Voltron before they left. It was a peaceful atmosphere from the one that had previously been tense.
 It was when Patton looked over to see Janus and Logan both fast asleep curled up tight to one another did he quickly nudge the others and point. they quickly realized what he was meaning. Virgil turned the tv off and Patton summoned a blanket and covered them both before the two sunk out.
Thomas looked or a couple seconds at the dark and new dark side and smiled. If they were happy here together, he wasn’t stopping them.
And he sunk out to try and get a couple things done on the planner Logan had set up.
Maybe by next summer We won't have changed our tune
 Janus stood in the kitchen talking to Patton and Logan when he felt that bizarre pull. “ill be back in a while, Thomas appears to need my assistance,” he placed his mug on the counter before he gave a quick smile and sunk out.
 He appeared in Logan’s place and froze as he was met with two people he wasn’t really expecting to see. The twins. Both looked easily confused and turned to Thomas. “why is he here, I thought you were summoning specs,” roman complained.
“I knew you wouldn’t be happy if I said I was calling on Janus. And anyway, the reason he is here is because you three need to talk, like it or not. You need to at least tolerate each other at most.”
“do understand that I don’t want to be here, but he has a point,” Janus mumbled as he looked over to the two others.
 The two stared at the other side, expecting for him to put up more of a fight. Remus knew something had to have happened for two reasons. On being he wouldn’t wear something that showed most of his scales, they had always been a sensitive subject; and two, well… he wouldn’t give in so easily.
Roman as far as he knew the other, only knew the face he was good at manipulating people to get them on his side, tare them down and have almost everyone turn on you. So, he didn’t know what was happening right now. Weather he was being sincere or manipulating everyone once again.
 One stared in worry for the other, the second stared worried for everyone else.
“I know I’ve done some fairly… crappy things in the past. And I can admit up to it.  But I was frustrated okay. I didn’t know any other way I could get you to trust me in that moment after everything id done. And the first thing you do after I say my name is laugh,” he gave a small weak chuckle, “I lashed out in frustration and resentment.”
 He stood still. He didn’t look up at anyone, finding the floor more amusing.
” specs has really chipped away at your walls hasn’t he anus?”
“yeah, I think he has,” he let out a slightly amused chuckle.
 “why are you trusting him?” roman asked frustrated at what was happening. “because dear brother as much as I hate him, I can’t sense any malice intention dripping of him like blood in an open wound,” he patted his brothers back. “you can trust him, but I won’t. Him and his snake face won’t be getting an apology from me.”
Roman sunk out sending his icy glare towards Janus.
 He would be lying to himself if he said that his words didn’t hurt. That would easily be seen through due to the tears slowly coming from his eyes.
He was barely aware of his once friend stepping forwards before he too sunk out to go find Logan. He needed the other right now. He needed him now.
 When he rose, he found himself in the kitchen that smelled like fresh cookies.
He rubbed his eyes trying to stop the tears. A tight feeling was beginning to encompass his chest. Tightening the further he began to walk.
“Logan,” he whispered lightly as he scanned the room to find no one there.
He checked the communal space to find no one there either.
Then he found himself beginning to walk over to the navy door that lay opposite his own. Knocking three times and muttering the other sides name once more.
He could hear movement on the other side. The door creaked open. Logan looked at the other with wide eyes before the door swung open and was immediately wrapped in a hug from the other.
He broke down. The tears that had been slowly falling were flowing out now. His silent crying turned into sobbing.
 Why couldn’t he do anything right?
 We'll still want to be With the butterflies and bees
 Logan lead the other into his room. Several thoughts began swirling around his head. Mainly wondering what had happened for Janus to break down like this.
In the entire time he had known the other this was the first time he had seen the other let out so much at once.
He grabbed a couple blankets and pillows from a very much so growing pile and wrapped them around the other and himself. He found himself humming a tune. One he was familiar with. It had been a while since he had used this particular one.
The other side seemed to calm down as he repeated the melody. The other calming down, tired and weak from using so much energy, but he joined in the song as he finished the final couple notes.
 “Adventure time?” the sleepy side murmured as he snuggled into the warmth of the other, a few stray tears here and there.
“I’m surprised you remember it.” “I like fern. Of course, I would remember it.”
 Janus was the first to fall asleep. Logan moved him so that he was lying down in a comfier position and lay down next to him. Between Janus and the fluffy thick blanket, he could feel himself dosing of.   “m’love you” he heard Janus almost inaudibly. But still caught it. “m’love you too,” and he was soon asleep curled up next to the other.
--
 The only reason Logan woke up was due to the ungodly loud knock on his door. He waved his hand and unlocked the door and let it creak open slowly.
 Remus made his way into the room with roman in his grasp who was looking both guilty and annoyed. Remus was smiling chaotically.
Logan only glared at them both.
 They became quiet as they saw the sleeping snake that had a tight grip on the logical sides arm, using it as a makeshift pillow filled with warmth.
A small pool of guilt rose in roman. When Remus had came into his room, he had yelled at him for a good half an hour about not exploiting someone’s weakness when they were clearly vulnerable themselves.
That lead him to find out about Janus’s problems with his scales.
 Twice. Twice he had made fun of one of his extreme venerability’s. he hated the other. If he had known. He doubts he would have said a thing…
 “how is he?” Remus asked concern laced in his voice. “exhausted. He pretty much cried himself to sleep. May I ask what happened. He was fine when he sunk out.”
“my brother happened. We came to do some apologizing but apparently he is sleeping like a corpse.”
“you know, before he left the only thing on his mind was that he needed to find you,” that seemed to catch Logan off guard slightly.
 “you hurt Janus and I swear it will be the last thing you do” Remus growled, “welp, I’m off we shall return later to apologize to double dee,” and with that they left.
  Making up new numbers And living so merrily
Logan looked over to Janus. Was he really that obvious? He wouldn’t deny he had feelings for the other. Well… if talk with Patton meant something at least.
Maybe he would tell the other soon… waiting a while might also be a logical option as well… he truly needed to work out his emotions one day. After so long of pretending he didn’t have any, it was getting
difficult to differentiate between several.
 He snuggled back up against Janus deciding he would wait a bit longer since the other was fast asleep as of right now.
He let out a content sigh and closed his eyes. The smell of cinnamon and vanilla lulling him back to sleep.
--
 They did come back. And Janus almost immediately left the room. If it weren’t for Logan’s confirmation on why they were there, he was sure his door would be locked by now.
So, he did the next best thing and stood behind the other as he listened to Logan apologize for his words.
Janus only looked at the other. Waiting to taste a single lie. But he couldn’t. so, when roman finished he let out a tiny breath and looked at roman.
 For the first time in a while he felt as if several weights had been lifted all at once.
 All of my collections I'll share them all with you
 It had been two months and Logan had enough. he needed to tell the other and soon, before his confidence became null.
Using the things, he had remembered from the conversations he had remembered that Janus’s favorite flowers were red carnations and his favorite sweets in hand.
 He had been sitting by the others door, waiting for him to come back from filming. They had been at it for over half an hour now.
When the other and popped up by his side suddenly he had almost figuratively jumped out of his own skin.
 A smile formed on his face as he heard the other laugh at his reaction. He stood up from his position on the floor, the carnations and sweets being held out to the other.
 Janus looked at them for a couple seconds before taking them and smiling wide.
“I’ve been meaning to speak to you and… well as you know I’m not very good at the whole emotions thing, but… I’ve been speaking to Patton and he assures me that this is the one thing I know,” he paused looking at the other before turning his gaze away. “I um… like you, as in id like to maybe date you, I’m not very good with this am I-“
He was cut off by Janus’s hand cupping his cheek and gently turning his head to face the other before he felt a soft pair of lips on his own. He immediately melted into the gentile kiss. It was all he needed to know.
 The only reason they had to part was because of air. They stared at one another before they both began to giggle.
I'll be here for you always And always be with you
 It was a week later that they felt that now familiar tug. Both appearing in Thomas’s living room. Janus was behind Logan, draping himself over the other.
 When everyone saw them together the only thing they could do was grin. “please tell me we don’t have to watch you two eyes fucking one another anymore” Remus stated.
A couple people laughed at the bluntness of the statement. Others just rolled their eyes. “if you mean that we are dating, we are indeed,” Janus grinned and pecked Logan’s cheek before he turned a cherry red in blush.
“well its nice to see you two finally together. Honestly, I thought you would have gotten together sooner being the only two functioning braincells of all of us,” Virgil let a loose smile appear.
 “I want to be insulted, but I know you’re right about that,” Thomas muttered.
 The conversation went on from there. Janus and Logan both inputting. When spoken over they made it clear they weren’t happy and they were given a quick sorry.
Another thing was that it was only twice that it had happened. Once because Patton got over emotional and Virgil because he just wanted them to get to the main issue instead of skirting around the edges.
 Come along with me And the butterflies and bees
 It was another month when they had woken up. but something had clearly changed because this was one of the very few nights that they had slept separately in their own rooms.
So, when Janus woke next to the other on a much larger bed than normal, to say he was confused was an understatement.
Logan was yet to start clinging to him so it was clear that whatever happened. It happened recently.
 He snapped his fingers to turn on a lamp or two.
The walls were a deep grey, but everything else had been either navy or a bright sunflower yellow.
 He slipped out of the bed and made his way over to the door. Or doors. One yellow and another navy. But both… connected. He opened the door to find nothing on the other wall. Where his door should have been was a blank space void of any sign it had been there in the first place.
 Had their doors connected? Was that even possible. Sure, they had gotten extremely close as of recently. But close enough for their rooms to connect as one? That was something he would need to discuss with Logan. Or weather something else was at play.
 But for right now, the comfort of his lover and bed sounded more appealing than whatever was happening right now.
We can wander through the forest And do so as we please
 It had taken approximately two hours of talking that morning to get a steady idea on what had happened.
Patton had woken that morning to come visit. Due to a small headache Logan wished the other would be silent for a little bit.
And then he had stopped talking. Logan looked up to the other to see his hand clamped to his mouth, looking at the logical side confused.
 His mind had begun to wonder to what just happened. The hand that clamped the others mouth shut going back down to Patton’s side. “was that Janus?” morality muttered. “no… oh great well that’s another thing for the list.” “what list?” “our doors connected last night. We think its because of our connection between one another. Janus’s logic had been boosted slightly and it appears I have now gained his attribute of well… that. Sorry about that though.”
He rubbed his temple. This would take some getting used to. “may I ask why that may have happened?” “I’ve got a small headache and you were beginning to get a bit loud for its liking.”
--
 Janus and Logan smiled at one another as they tried to sleep, hands holding and buzzing with energy. Today had been one of the best days in a while. And that was hard to top as of recently
 It had been six months after the argument that had led to both of them being listened to. The day had been the one where they had forgiven everyone but roman and Virgil. they still had a little more to work on but were close none the less.
 They shuffled closer to one another and kissed. They didn’t care about the future much at that moment. They were there holding one another. And that was all they needed.
Living so merrily

A/N: I am SO excited for you to read this chapter, you’ll soon find out why ;)
                                 SNEAKYYYYYY PEEEEEK
For the fiftieth time in the last two days, I couldn’t be more grateful for how easy things are coming together. I couldn’t be more thankful to have him by my side. It still feels like a dream getting to live this life now, and getting to work with him on the daily, singing Spice Girls amidst stolen cheek kisses.
One puzzle piece at a time, and there’s only one or two pieces left in this puzzle of ours.
"And then my soul saw you and it kind of went ‘Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking for you.’"
                             - Iain Thomas, ‘I Wrote This For You’
There was truly nothing that could rock the waves I was currently riding, and I couldn’t wait a second longer to do the very thing that would make them even bigger. They had only climbed since telling Asher earlier this evening, and the smile that shared on our faces. 
Skye was sprawled out on the sofa when I opened the door, finding it impossible to hide the grin on my face as I read a text from Harry that had dinged a moment before. 
i havent been this excited for somethin in a long time bug. absolutely cant wait to see u on friday, idk if i can wait that long ;) good luck on ur case with Myles 2moro, you’ll do great Becks xo
“Well, look who has a pep in her step, all of a sudden. I don’t think I’ve seen you smile in days, since Harry’s left. What’s the occasion, Ree?” she teases, surprising me with the simple act of muting an episode of The Great British Bake Off that our nights consist of as of late. 
“I may have had a good day,” I suggest with a shrug of my shoulders as I put my coat away in the closet. 
“Since bloody when? You were in a shitty mood the last time we spoke, having ‘Harry withdrawals,’ or something. I’d say the only reason you could be happy right now is if you’d seen him, which would be impossible seeing he’s in Glasgow for another few days,” she mutters. I observe the look on her face change and how her eyebrows dance along her forehead after I turn around to face her, letting the smile lose. “Wait, he’s still there, isn’t he?” she questions, reaching a hand out as if looking for an answer with her body, too. 
My head shakes from side to side slowly as my lips part to show my teeth, a rarity among my smiles, and the expression dawning on her face tells me she recognizes it too. “He came back today, his case finished early, Skye. And I asked him out on a date!” 
“You didn’t?! Ree, you better not be kidding with me, or I’m gonna be really pissed at you!” she chuckles, feigning intimidation in her voice. Hints of the emotions buzzing around inside of me play across her face, meanwhile, my happiness keeps growing notch after notch. 
I don’t know if I can wait that long either, Harry, cause I can’t remember the last time I was this excited. Thank you so much xxx
“I’m not kidding, Skye, and he said yes! He didn’t even let me finish asking and he said yes!” I exclaim after sending the text I had been typing, feeling her arms come around me in a shock when I look back up. 
“I’m so fucking happy for you, Ree, it’s about bloody time!” she remarks excitedly, almost crushing me in a hug. 
“Me too, I can’t remember the last time I was this happy,” I admit softly, relaxing in her arms, even though part of me wishes they were the arms of somebody else. Only an hour later, and I already miss him. Wow, I’ve got this bad. 
“Did you kiss him at least?!”
“No, I’m waiting for the date, I guess. I looked like proper crap today, I’ve been up so late the last few nights prepping for the case with Myles,” I laugh, pulling away from her smell of peaches and chocolate when my pocket dings. 
“First kisses aren’t something you plan, Ree, they just happen out of nowhere. The sooner, the better.” 
“I guess you’re right,” I confess with a smile stuck to my lips. “We’ll just see what happens.”
+
Happiness and its synonyms still fill me to the brim an hour later, and whilst my thumbs flit across the screen of my phone. Her words stare back at me, and unbeknownst to me how, I wish I could see her again already. My footsteps wander down the main hallway, and before I know what I’m doing, I arrive at her door. Low and behold, it’s closed and my heart sinks into my chest when I find darkness waiting behind it. 
miss u already bug xoxo
My words are whisked off to her, and soon my legs are entering the doorway of a certain somebody’s office, although not the one I was hoping for.
“It’s about time you made your rounds and came to say hi to me. Should I feel offended I’m the last one on your list?” Myles teases from behind his desk with a grin lining his lips. 
“Oh, shuddup. Did Becks leave already fer tha night?” I question, letting my shoulder fall to the door frame as I watch the small ‘delivered’ appear under my blue text. 
“Yeah, I ran into her about twenty minutes ago in the break room when she was clocking out. What, didn’t you already see her?”
“Ya, she was me first visitor. I was jus’ hopin’ t’ see her ‘gain,” I shrug, well aware of the terrible job I’m doing of hiding the one hundred watt smile I’m wearing. 
“And does that have anything to do with you blinding me with that smile of yours?” he inquires, raising a sandy blonde eyebrow at me. 
“Maybe it has sumthin’ t’ do with me havin’ a date with her on Friday, as of an hour ago,” I reveal casually with a shrug of my shoulders, feeling the smile grow larger somehow. 
“Fucking finally,” Myles chimes with happiness spreading across his face, and I nod quickly. 
“I know, ‘s all finally comin’ t’getha fer us.”
+
It would be accurate to say that I was still in utter disbelief after yesterday, and rehashing it all to Skye the second I got home only made it all seem more real, and even better. Then again, that was an understatement, because I had been waiting for this for years. I had been waiting to feel this way for too long, and to be able to say and think that I have a date with Harry tomorrow. An actual, proper date. Several times, I cursed myself for not making the date on Thursday night, tonight, because although I had waited painstakingly for five days, another two felt like twenty years.
It was even bittersweet coming to work the next day and not seeing him there, confusing the habits and expectations I had come to know. I still had to finish up the case with Myles that he would finish arguing, with my help, for the next two days. I tried to think of it that way, that the date would be even better after finishing that case, and in a way, signifying my return to Harry. God, it was all too perfect, but it would be even more so if I didn’t have to wait another bloody day, well actually two, to see him. Yesterday wasn’t long enough, but when I think about it, no length of time ever is with him and that’s how I know I’m in trouble.
Also, that I’m walking right into one of my dreams.
+
After a morning spent in court starting off the case, I was back at the firm with Myles after lunch to work on it some more. He had given me more time to myself to work on my own than Harry had, but I preferred it that way. Harry was right, Myles was good to me, and I did learn a lot from him, but it wasn’t the same as being with Harry. Nothing has ever and never will be the same as being with him, certainly not. Also, the whole Family and Interpersonal side of court was depressing as fuck, I found out. The topic littered Harry and I’s conversations the last almost week, resulting in me taking after him and deciding to stay far away from it for now. 
I’m reminded of him everywhere I go, and it definitely makes trying to get my work done all the more difficult. I see his face in the succulent sat at the corner of my desk, behind my office chair where he would lean over me to help me on my laptop, on my sofa where he opened his birthday presents with explosive happiness, and in the reflection on the tall window where I now stand in the same spot as on his birthday when he hugged me against his front with a kiss to my head. A day later, and it all still feels so surreal to me, and I’m not mad about it. I appreciate its distracting qualities, leaving me to not worry as much about what the hell I’m going to wear tomorrow, and messing things up. Skye’s already picked out five outfits for me by now, I’m sure, but I was at a loss last night when I perused my closet. The pressure to impress somebody I’ve already met a hundred times, feels even greater than my second interview I had at the firm, and I tell myself I don’t know why, even though I do.
I want to wear the right thing, and feel beautiful. More than that, I don’t want to mess things up between us, again, no matter how stupid that sounds. No matter how premature it is to worry about right now.
With the happiest of sighs, I wander over to my bookshelf that now sits a dozen law books, gifts from Harry, Skye, Robbie, my dad, and Asher. Perhaps my favorite, to no surprise, is the Lawyer’s Dictionary that Harry got me. It has a section for all of the law jargon, another on many important laws, and lastly finishes with a guide for working the courtroom. I was just getting on my tippy toes to grab it when I feel a pair of arms surround my chest and pull me against theirs. 
“Hiya, brat,” a voice teases, tickling my neck. 
“Harry!” I exclaim with surprise, grabbing hold of his forearms. “Why do you love to scare me so much?”
“I dunno, ‘s fun, and coz yer a brat, so ya deserve it,” he giggles, and finally I relent and do too as I turn around to face him. 
“I am not a brat!” I argue, finding his flushed stubbly cheeks, taking a second to get used to the thick stubble covering them now. 
“Ya are, I reckon, couldn’t even wake me up last night t’ finish tha rest o’ tha FRIENDS episode on FaceTime, jus’ kept watchin’ along without me. If that doesn’t make ya a brat, then I dunno what does,” he tuts, clucking his tongue as he shakes his head at me. My giggles grow into a hearty chuckle as his folded hands settle at the small of my back. 
“Harry Edward!” I scoff, swatting at his chest once again hidden by his Northface coat, matching his black skinny jeans. 
“Hey, ya betta watch that hand o’ yers, bug, and that mouth too.”
“I’m not a brat,” I whine, all facial features falling into a pout that immediately grabs his attention. 
“Rebecca Ann, don’t even start with me. Put that bloody pout away befo’ ya regret it,” he insists, pointing his eyes at me with the smallest of smirks peeking through on his lips. It wins him over and soon his dimples accompany his deep laugh. “Stop, yer not a brat, bug, ‘m jus’ teasin’ ya. Y’know that. Jus’ can’t believe it didn’t even take a week fer ya t’ skip ahead o’ me in our show.”
“The episode was already three quarters of the way over!” I protest, earning a good finger wag at me. I fight back and push against his chest. “And I didn’t want to wake you up, you were so tired.”
“No, it was not! It was only half way through and ya couldn’t even wake me up! How rude o’ my Becks t’ be makin’ up excuses.” 
“Stop being mean to me,” I pout again, beginning to turn away with my arms crossed over my chest. 
“Hey, ‘m jus’ givin' ya a hard time, bug, y’know that. Yer neva a brat, and even if ya are, yer my brat,” Harry hums warmly, the honey returning to his voice in full force as he catches me around the middle with his arms once again. I can’t remember the last time I heard his voice absent of the honey, though. I don’t ever want to. “I wouldn’t want ya any otha way.”
“I knew you were only joking.”
“You li’l liar!” he laughs against my temple and mine joins his ever so contagious one. “Y’know, ‘ve always loved how ya neva take me shit and how ya can dish it right back, Becks.”
“Of course, I figured out at  the very beginning that I wouldn’t get by without it.”
“That’s me girl,” he coos, bringing me forth and round to find his gentle green eyes once more. They smile at me with a sparkle to them I haven’t had the pleasure to know before. I’ve yet to see him look at anybody this way, and I wonder if I have my own special look in my eyes for him, too. If I do, it was born long ago. 
“What are you doing here? I thought you had said you were going to take it easy until Monday, since your case got done early,” I wonder aloud, unsure of what to do with my hands until they venture to his coat’s zipper on their own, pulling it up and down distractedly. 
“I was, until My’ roped me into a partner meetin’ t’day, and I wanted t’ see a special sumbody,” he sighs with an accented roll of his eyes at first, and then they dish out their dazzle on me. “But that’s it, and ‘m off afta that. I hafta do a li’l work fer my case afta finishin’ it, but it’ll only take ten minutes tops. Then laundry, cleanin’, and tha like at home before grocery shoppin’. Only jus’ now got outta bed, tha bloody jetlag.”
“Ah, I see. The work of a lawyer never ends, it seems,” I comment and he nods above me, eyes watching my every move closely. “God, if I knew you’d be here today I would have tried a little harder when I got dressed this morning,” I laugh nervously, my eyes falling to his crimson button-up peeking out from his coat, decorated with gray flowers and foliage. 
“Ya don’t even hafta try and ya look gorgeous, Becks. Promise,” Harry disagrees, the molasses pouring out from his words and into my heart, pushing the very last chip away. Just like that, I’m all his again, but I think it happened long before this and I didn’t know. Daring a look up at him, the dimples couldn’t be deeper in his cheeks as his sunshine smile radiates onto me, the pad of his thumb rough against my cheek. “I sure missed seein’ that smile, ‘s me favourite.” 
My anxiousness carries away with the sunshine, and I’m left with red cheeks and a smile that makes them hurt. It almost pains me to look into his bright sunny eyes, but I wouldn’t want to be looking anywhere else. Finally, I let myself look and with that, I let him in a little further and start to let go. 
“You’re really laying it on thick,” I jest harmlessly with a smile, dragging my finger down the seam of his chest where the two sides of the fabric meet in red cloth buttons. 
“Ya, coz I finally can,” he grins, and the warmth spreading across my body in tingly waves finds an outlet in a soft laugh of mine. 
Anxious yes, but ever so happy while his hand spreads out flush against my back, fingertips moving lazily. I’ve already pinched myself once or twice today wondering if this is all a dream, and shocked that I could ever be this happy. There were so many times I doubted the existence of it and its possibility, and everything it had to do with having this with Harry. Predictably, an electronic twinkle interrupts our conversation, and I’m confused to find him lifting his wrist. 
“Woah, look at the fancy lawyer,” I tease, his already colossal smile growing taller as he flicks a finger across his shiny new Apple watch. “That must have cost a pretty penny.”
“Ya, and My’ dished out e’ry last cent,” he titters, pressing his palm to the shiny surface rounded by space grey edges, returning his eyes and hands to me. “It was his birthday present t’ me, sayin’ that I should be mo’ organized at me age, or sumthin’.”
“Talk about brutal honesty right there.”
“Don’t go bloody agreein’ with him now!” Harry scoffs, but his mouth open in disgust is no more, lined by joyous lips that soon attack my cheeks in kisses. 
“No, no, no!” I beg aloud in shrieks when his quick fingers dance along my ribs, sending jolts of electricity across my body. More exclamations and pleas escape them before I say the magic words, “Harry Edward!” 
“What d’ya want, hmm, Rebecca Ann?” he asks breathlessly, that adorable breathy laugh falling off of his glossy cherry lips. 
“I think you like saying my full name too much,” I contend, giving up and falling into the sage green abyss of his eyes for the hundredth time, or more. 
“Maybe I do. Maybe I like it,” he shrugs mischievously, that smirk glued to his lips that pull me in. 
“Do you like it, the watch?”
“Ya, ‘s nice. I thought ‘d told ya ‘bout it, sorry. Reckon it has helped me t’ stay organized. Speakin’ of, me meetin’ ‘s inna few, so I hafta take off, bug,” he croons with disapproving lips, his bottom lip soon jutting out from the top. 
“Harry Styles, don’t you even!” I threaten rather weakly, the sounds of happiness leaving my lips doing a good job of that. 
“Oh, and what if I don’t? Hmmm, Rebecca Holte, jus’ what will ya do ‘bout it?” Harry returns, wiggling an eyebrow at me that makes my chest rumble with harder laughter. 
“I’ll just have to stop you, but I don’t know how just yet.”
A devilish smirk is born on his lips before my eyes, and soon leaves my view while his face escapes to the crook of my neck, his voice soon tickling my skin, “Lawyers gotta be quick on their feet, bug. Reckon I can think o’ a way ya can make these lips stop poutin’, maybe ya can try it on me t’morro’ afta our date,” he hums against my neck, knitting up his sentence with a whisper of a kiss below my ear.
I feel like a fricken sixteen-year-old all over again, and I’m loving every second. 
“You better get going to your meeting, before you’re late, Harry,” I giggle uncontrollably,  sure that my face is blotchy with red all over because of what he just said. My suspicion is confirmed when he lifts his head of moused curls to look me in the eyes again, and the glint in them tells me so. I feel like I can read him even better now, all because he’s letting me. 
“‘s alright, they expect me t’ be late by now, ‘s a given,” he insists with a comedic shrug of his shoulders, hands wandering away from my back and to our sides where they invite my hands into his. 
“Will you stop and say goodbye this time?”
“‘Course, bug. ‘m sorry I missed ya yestaday, ya had already left afta I had made me rounds,” he assures me, receiving a quiet ‘it’s okay’ from me. 
“Try not to fall asleep at your meeting today,” I joke, watching his eyes roll into the back of his head briefly before he scoops me into his arms for a squeeze. 
“I won’t if ya promise not t’ be a brat anymo’ and skip ahead in our show.”
“Get lost and go to your meeting already!” I laugh, shoving him away by his chest, observant of his mouth relaxing into a disbelieving ‘O’. His laugh echoes mine quickly, only disrupted when my hand comes to his cheek to plant my lips on his other for a few seconds longer than necessary. “I’m so glad you’re back, Harry.”
“So am I, Becks, so bloody much,” he echoes, holding my hands a little tighter in his, even bringing one to his lips for a kiss. “Good luck on yer case, love, for tha thousandth time. ‘m so proud o’ you.”
With that, he leaves me in a puddle of my own surreal emotions, disappearing from my office with a look over his shoulder wearing that smirk. That very smirk I want so desperately to kiss off those cherry lips already. Tomorrow, I think, if I can make it until then. Just one more day.

I had been struggling with finishing this last part, or rather redoing it, for too long now. When my eyes again strayig to the violet clock, I was surprised to find that it had been almost an hour, and I hadn’t gotten much further. With my head in my hands, I sigh as feelings battle to be felt within my insides. After today’s argument, Myles and I had to shift our approach, and I still wasn’t sure of how to do that. He had been helping me, of course, but I still felt so lost. It doesn’t help that he’s currently caught up in the partner’s meeting that Harry is also at, and Jennings who is but isn’t a partner. I still don’t get it, even though Harry explained it to me a few times. The next time he does, I’ll have to remember to ask him to dumb it down for me. 
Even after pouring over our shared notes in Google Docs, and my several law books strewn across my desk, I’m at a loss for what to do.
I wish more than anything that it was already five pm tomorrow, and that the only thing I have to think about is my date with Harry. I still don’t know what the hell to wear, or to do with my hair, or how heavy to go with my makeup. 
“Why tha long face, bug?” somebody pipes up, pulling me away from my immersive thoughts. Blinking hard, I tear my eyes away from the laptop screen and look over to the door, but I don’t lift my tired head from my propped fist. 
“I don’t know what to do for my argument.”
“Still? Why didn’t ya jus’ ask, Becks?” Harry hums with an inviting smile, pressing the door to come just shy of closing. 
I shrug my shoulders with a heavy exhale, scrolling through what I have so far, quickly realizing how embarrassing it’ll be to show him. I can’t exit out quickly enough, hearing his footsteps arrive behind me. 
“Hey, what d’ya think yer doin’?” he teases when I switch tabs, quickly feeling the weight of his hand on top of mine, dragging the mouse along. “Don’t be nervous, love, ‘m here t’ help. Always am,” he coos softly, a hand settling on my adjacent shoulder, earning me an encouraging squeeze. 
“It’s embarrassing, Harry. I’ve been sitting here for over an hour trying to figure out what to do, and I have next to nothing to show for it.”
“Relax, ‘s only yer first official case yer arguin’. Don’t be so hard on yerself, Becks. It sounds like ya need a break, bug,” he insists, sending sparks along my left arm as he rubs stripes along the skin. It’s not long before I hear a familiar laugh and slowly, Harry’s dancing figure comes into view. “Yo ‘ll tell ya what I want, what I really, really want. So tell me what ya want, what ya really, really want,” he belts out, his phone blasting the song cupped in his hand. 
“Oh my God,” I sigh with an accidental laugh, my head falling into my hands. I’m too curious though, and so I peek out from behind my spread fingers to watch him sing passionately with his eyes closed while breaking out some amusing dance moves. “Please, stop,” I chuckle, but I’m sure he also hears the lie in my voice. 
“‘m not stoppin’.”
“Please, Harry. You’re going to make me die from secondhand embarrassment,” I confess into my hands, feeling brave and letting my fingers fall down to below my eyes. Mistakenly, his catch mine and they fly back up to cover my eyes, or for the most part. 
“Rebecca Ann, ‘m not stoppin’ ‘til ya come and join me.”
“Then you’re going to be there for a while,” I say with a shrug of my shoulders, certain of one thing and that’s the smile claiming my lips, and the forgotten document staring at me. I’m too preoccupied with the silly, dancing man in front of my eyes, and how somehow this makes me love him all the more. 
“Becks,” he insists, in between singing along to the song very badly. Oh no, I think as his steps near me once again. Before I know it, I’m staring into darkness as his breath tickles the back of my neck. 
“Stop,” I beg with laughs interjected among my pleas. They grow into near shouts and exclamations when his singing is accompanied by his fingers dancing across my sides, and along the slopes of my neck. “Harry!” I almost yell, and when my laughs couldn’t hurt my belly more, it all ceases. Only the singing remains and is joined by his stubbly cheek against my temple, and his arms coiled around my shoulders. “If ya wanna be my lova, ya gotta get with my friends.”
“Make it last forever, friendship never ends,” I continue for him, giggles heard at the end when his nose tickles the corner of my sensitive neck. 
“There’s me happy Becks, ‘m glad I found her ‘gain,” Harry coos, leaving a kiss on my temple before he helps me to tackle my argument. 
Five days did and didn’t feel very long when I think about it now, with his arms wrapped around me as his voice tickles my ear. Too easily, I can remember his absence over those long days, and how effortlessly they felt far longer. I barely survived with his texts and phone calls alone, and it hurts to think that if it hadn’t been for his case finishing early, I’d still be sitting here in my office all in my lonesome. 
Those thoughts are yanked away - thank God - when his voice brings me back, spewing legal mumbo jumbo that luckily nowadays I can understand, but I couldn’t have always said that. Harry makes quick work of what would be my best route to take and how I do that, and for the fiftieth time in the last two days, I couldn’t be more grateful for how easy things are coming together. I couldn’t be more thankful to have him by my side. It still feels like a dream getting to live this life now, and getting to work with him on the daily, singing Spice Girls amidst stolen cheek kisses.
One puzzle piece at a time, and there’s only one or two pieces left in this puzzle of ours.

The murmur of voices assaults my ears when I walk through the door, and feel my vision tugged towards the ceiling decorated with chandeliers. A song by Frank Sinatra floats around the entryway, hardly calming my overactive nerves, despite it being a favorite of my late grandpa’s. When I finally reach the host’s stand, the nerves topple out with my words, jumbling them.
“Reservation for H-Harry Styles, please,” I tell the towering, dark haired man. After a few moments tapping away on the kiosk, he grabs two menus and leads me through a maze of linen covered tables sat under the glow of the several chandeliers. 
I try to hide my disappointment when he leads me to an empty, round table, leaving with a few words about my server being with me soon. Another feeling bubbles up inside me, forcing itself to join all of the others mixed together within me. I had a feeling I was too early, I think silently as I shrug off my long pea coat to hang over my chair. Skye’s wishes of good luck and ‘lots of snogging’ float back to me, filling my sad cheeks with another wash of pink. ‘No, you aren’t driving yourself, I’m dropping you off so then you can get a ride home with him, and lay a big one on him when he walks you up,’ she had insisted, but the anxiousness years in the making is doing a good job of making me doubt myself tonight. 
My attention drifts to my phone that is silent with no new messages, but I still check our conversation. The last message was from him:
see u in half an hour for our date bug :) xxx
My thumb scrolls through our previous messages, straying to last night’s that brings a smile to my face. 
I have no idea what to wear tomorrow :/ 
meant it when i said u look beautiful in anything Becks ;) help what should i wear ? xx
I might be a little impartial to that gray suit you wore to my class lecture that one time ;) 
noted ;) i may especially love the color red on u if u wanna know 
Noted ;) Question....
shoot, love 
Skye was gonna drop me off tonight on her way to her boyfriend’s …. Would a ride home be too much to ask?
course not Becks. anytime u need a ride im here. id love to give u a ride home. perfect we can jam 2 some spice girls in the car then ;) 
I can’t wait
neither can i bug :) 
My reminiscing is interrupted when my eyes fall to my outfit of choice, tugging up the scoop neck that Skye insisted wasn’t ‘too slutty.’ Now, I’m not so sure about it, and I can’t decide if I wish he’d show up already, or if I’m not ready. Those thoughts are stolen away when the texts disappear on my phone, his smiling face claiming the screen with a jingle. 
“Hello?” I answer with a gulp, trying to hide the anxious tremble in my voice. I can’t help it, my eyes dart to my wrist, noticing it’s already 6:05 pm.
“Hi, bug. ‘m sorry but tha traffic ‘s horrendous and ‘m afraid ‘ll be late gettin’ t’ tha restaurant. E’rybody else ‘s comin’ home from work too,” Harry explains from the other side, a weird sound taking over his voice. Yeah, we’re not too good at this pretending thing anymore, are we? I can hear the nerves in his voice, probably just like he can hear them in mine. 
“Oh, it’s okay, Harry. I don’t mind at all, just be careful driving,” I respond, feeling a sense of relief at knowing where he is. I know he never would, but it squashes the tiny voice inside of me saying he wasn’t ever going to show up. 
“‘Course I will, love. Thanks fer understandin’. Reckon ‘ll be there in ten. Are ya there already?” he responds, just the sound of his voice doing wonders at calming me down. The only thing that could take it all away is a hug, one of his.
“Yeah, I just sat down.”
“Mmmm, d’ya mind scopin’ out tha menu while yer there? I won’t be too long, we can order once I get there, if that’s alright,” he asks, the sound of traffic sneaking into our phone call for a second. Then, I hear him sigh ‘finally’ and the subsequent thrum of the motor.
“Yeah, sure. I’ll see you soon then, careful driving.”
“I can’t wait t’ see you, Becks,” he hums before hanging up, leaving me sitting across from an empty chair that I can’t stop picturing him sitting in. 
This is really happening.
Finally.
+
The sound of her voice rings in my ears, and does nothing to stop the anxious shakes coursing throughout my body. Curses fall under my breath as I honk at somebody who pulls out right in front of me, making me slam on my brakes. With a sigh, I turn on my indicator before making my turn.
Pulling my keys from the ignition drenches my surroundings in silence, and reminds me of my heart beating wildly within my chest. Looking up, the decorative windows of the restaurant appear before me in shrouded light. She’s somewhere in there . . waiting for me.
Get it together, Harry. You can do this.
My eyes drift to the rear view mirror and I card my fingers through my hair until it looks decent enough. That’s as good as it’s going to get, I almost mutter while smoothing down my blazer underneath my coat. The bone chilling February night nips at my face once my feet touch the tarmac. Streetlights cast glows all around me, as well as the headlights of several cars. The thumping within my chest grows louder and faster as my feet near the door, and then the stand where a manicured man waits.
“Hi. I made a reservation unda the name ‘Harry Styles’,” I tell him, immediately casting my eyes to the tables within view, searching for her dark chocolate locks. 
“Right this way,” he replies, waving a hand to follow him and I do. He leads me past several tables, empty and occupied, and almost gets me lost in the process.
The last thing I feel is lost when my eyes finally find her.
“Thank you. I-I got it from here,” I tell him hurriedly, holding a hand out that brings us both to a halt. He walks away after a short ‘you’re welcome,’ leaving me there, right where I want to be.
I don’t remember the smile reaching my ears or my heart quieting within my chest as I watch her flip through the menu thirty feet away from me. The prettiest red dress dons her long body, falling just underneath her collarbones and draped over the curve of her shoulders. Her hair falls in dark, natural waves, almost hiding the round opal sitting above the scoop of scarlet fabric. A tingling sensation blankets my body from head to toe, and the image of Becks sitting there waiting for me is burned into my mind.
It feels like I’m meeting her again for the first time, but I’m not. This feels like a new first time, and I know it’s one I won’t ever forget, much like the very first time I laid my eyes upon her. 
It felt like a Monday. For the bloody life of me, I couldn’t remember if it was one at the moment. Is it Monday? I’m not sure, but with the way things were going today, it sure felt like one. The copier had a jam, I forgot the first lunch I’ve made in years at home, and my girlfriend had been annoying the fuck out of me this morning. To top it all off, I had applicants being interviewed today to fill the position of my personal assistant, ever since the last one bolted. She didn’t last more than two weeks, a big surprise. 
Pete had been blowing up my phone for the last ten minutes, and I finally had had enough. Without an announcement or a knock, I stride into his office, fully intent on finding out what the hell he wants. 
“I’m a little busy, if you haven’t noticed,” he retorts over the head of dark chestnut locks sat in front of him. Presumably, one of the new applicants for my personal assistant. Hmm. 
“Well, ya kept ringin’ me bloody phone, Pete. So, what tha hell d’ya want?” I insist, throwing up a hand that falls to my thigh with a loud slap. 
Suddenly, I wish the quiet little thing would turn around, and give me a look at her. Shy, she is, it seems. There she sits, tucked away into her little shell, dressed to impress in a dark dress. 
“I’m in the middle of an interview!” he exclaims, certainly making a good first impression with the applicant. It makes me wonder for the tenth time why I bother having him do the interviews, but then I remember that I don’t really give a fuck, as long as I don’t have to do them. 
“What fer, huh?” I tease, instantly getting a snappy response from Pete about it being for me, as if I didn’t already know. But, I did, and am only doing this to bother him even more. 
“Ooo, ‘s it now? Ya get me a good one? Huh, Pete?” I grin, taking a step forward as a hand in my pocket plays with the tiny, metal guitar attached to my key ring. Sticking my head out as I move forward, my eyes dance across her head, and her profile that soon comes into view. “Hullo, love. Gonna be me new one, are ya? Petey here says I can’t keep one fer tha life o’ me, so here he ‘s interviewin’ me anotha one. How’s she doin’ so far, Petey? Think she’s a winna?” I joke aloud, knowing full well the effect my words have on the both of them. 
My subsequent introduction falls from my lips after a retort from Pete, and then the stranger finally turns to look me in the eyes. I rack my brain, trying to put a name to her face from a prior conversation with Pete. Or was it going over her resume when it came in the other day? I can’t remember which, and I blame it on her captivating baby blue eyes, as well as the intoxicating smile that greets my own. Words float from her lips and grace my ears for the very first time, and I knew immediately that she was something else. 
“Hi, my name is Becky. Becky Holte.”
Little did I know how drastically she would change my life, sometimes I thought for the worse, but ultimately for the better. The better, always. I had no way of knowing at that very moment, how many times she would come to save me.
My Becks.

The sound of homemade ravioli filled with chicken and three kinds of cheese is almost making my mouth water. It also makes me wonder when Harry will finally be here, and habitually, my eyes lift to look for him. To my surprise, I find him standing a ways away with the sweetest smile stuck to his lips. 
“Hiya, Becks. Sorry ‘m late. Ya look . . absolutely gorgeous, by tha way,” he comments once he’s within a few steps of the table. He reaches across to squeeze my arm before sitting down across from me, a blush pinching his cheeks. 
“Thank you, Harry. I uh, like the suit you went with, you look very handsome in it. Good choice,” I return, failing to not focus on the fast thrumming deep inside of me. 
“Ya, a certain sumbody said it was their favourite on me, so I couldn’t disappoint,” he grins with a shrug, unfastening the button at his waist, exposing the satiny black button-up hidden underneath. 
“Good, I’m glad you didn’t,” I smile, sure of the warmth he can see filling my cheeks, because I can see it mirrored in his own. “I like that you kept the stubble.”
“Why thank you,” he comments, once again rubbing it with his thumb and forefinger, and like before, making me all the more jealous. “I trimmed it up a li’l bit, figured I betta.” 
“Oh, I hope you keep it. I think I prefer you with it.”
“D’ya now, Becks?” he teases with a lift of his eyebrows, his tousled curls almost tickling his forehead, but just barely. “‘ll hafta rememba that,” he smiles, and more than ever, it’s incredibly contagious. My cheeks are starting to hurt from smiling by now, but I don’t even mind. 
“The um,” I begin nervously, my eyes falling to the elegant paper menu opened in front of me. It pains me to look away from him and the sunshine emanating from his smile, but it’s not so bad when I feel his chelsea boot knock against my heel, remaining there against the back of my ankle. “Chicken ravioli sounds good, as well as the margherita pizza, and Cacio e Pepe. Lots of good choices for dessert, too.”
“Mmm, they all sound good, love. Thanks fer lookin’ fer us,” he muses aloud, head bent down to peer at the menu when I glance over to him. 
His habit returns and his bottom lip is caught between his teeth, and somehow, it makes my smile grow bigger. I didn’t think that was possible, but here I am with aching cheeks. I nudge his foot with mine and he looks up with a question on his face, soon relaxing into a sparkling smile. That effervescent look in his eyes from the other day returns, and if I hadn’t known it already, I truly could look into his eyes for the rest of eternity. The dimples haven’t left his cheeks since he arrived, and his raspberry lips beg at me from across the table. 
“Let’s give it a try then,” he remarks, closing his menu without breaking our eye contact. The words dipped in honey flow from his lips and tickle something inside me, and I want more than anything to hear another meaning in them. His foot nudging at mine in return only makes me give in to it, and so does his wink. 
Our server arrives at our table shortly, and I thank God for the champagne she pours into tall flutes, not taking the edge off fast enough. A conversation blossoms between us about his case, and then mine with Myles. 
“Ya did great by tha way. Congrats on tha win, Becks, ‘m so fookin’ proud o’ you,” Harry grins adamantly, sweetness pouring off of his words that come out with a shake of his head. 
“Thank you so much, Harry. Wait, how’d you know we won it? I was just going to tell you,” I ask with furrowed brows, and receive a measly shrug of his shoulders in return. The look on his face, as if a revelation is threatening to burst from his lips, teases at me until it abates when the server brings us waters and we order. 
“So so bloody proud o’ you t’day, Becks,” he whispers as she pulls out her notepad and a pen. Possibilities blossom within my mind after he sends me a coy wink and knocks his foot against mine again. It doesn’t leave my own throughout the rest of our time there, during our meal and the laughs we share over glasses of champagne, and a plate of Tiramisu that I somehow let him share with me.
+
“I knew it! You were there today, sitting in the gallery, weren’t you?!” I exclaim, mumbling a short ‘thank you’ when he opens the car door for me. 
“Maybe,” Harry shrugs casually, walking around the front of the car as I fall onto the leather seat. 
“Harry Styles!” I nearly shout, if it weren’t for my voice dissolving into a giggle as he slides behind the steering wheel next to me. 
“What? I had some stuff t’ do at tha courts, so I may have popped in fer a mo’,” he explains. 
“Sure,” is all I say as I pull the seat belt across my chest. 
“Hush, and play some music, bug. Here,” he insists, handing me his grey iPhone that looks normal sized in his hand, and then gigantic in mine. 
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming to watch?”
“Coz o’ that right there, Becks. Yer nervous ‘bout it right now afta tha fact, imagine how ya woulda been if ‘d told ya I was comin’ befo’ yer argument t’day,” he returns, pressing buttons on the dash and soon, waves of hot air greet my cold body. 
“I guess you’re right.”
“‘m what? I didn’t catch that,” Harry jests, cupping his ear. A scoff flies from my lips and I playfully swat his shoulder. “Hey, watch it. ‘m drivin’.”
“You haven’t even switched gears, so shut up,” I laugh, catching the eye roll he thinks I don’t see. “I see that eye roll, Styles, you better watch it.”
“You betta watch it, Becks. Betta pick a good Spice Girls song too, ‘m payin’ attention,” he jokes, soon his fingers diving into my side. A laugh escapes me unwillingly, and yanks my eyes over to his giggling lips. 
His name leaves mine in a near shriek, and after a blink, his tickling fingers are gone and lacing between mine. The dark flecks in his sage green eyes catch under the overhead light before it turns off automatically. He gives my hand a good squeeze as his eyes melt into mine, and a zing of electricity runs up my fingers and then my arm. The smile falling into his cheeks mirrors the one that’s been glued to my lips all night, and now grows higher and higher. I return the squeeze just as he looks to his mirrors, the click of the doors locking when he shifts to Reverse. 
It almost hurts to look away, but so many other feelings and thoughts are occupying me as my eyes fall to his phone. Disbelief washes over me as his long, ringed fingers sit between mine. It only grows when he lifts our intertwined hands up and over the middle console, to sit on his warm thigh.
An uninvited wave of pain hits me when I spot familiar sad songs amongst his music library, like the familiar ‘When She Loved Me’ that could make any Toy Story fan weep within seconds of hearing it. It intensifies when my eyes run over the songs Before You Go, Wish You Were Here, Say You Won’t Let Go, and With or Without You. Chancing a glance over at him, he stares straight ahead into the dark night, and a bittersweetness greets me. I try not to let it in, and the realization that perhaps those lost seven months were hell for him too, as were those five days apart. 
“Find it? I have Spice World on there sumwhere. I know I have loads o’ shit on there, sorry,” he comments, turning his head to check his left before pulling onto the busy road. 
“Y-Yeah,” I stutter, looking back to his expansive music library spanning from the 50’s to current music. His thumb drawing circles onto my knuckles brushes some of the sadness away as I bring up the album he speaks of. 
“Bloody hell, why ya choosin’ tha sad one, Becks?” he titters, glancing over to me when we come to a stop at a light. His smile shining back at me whisks away the last drops of the sadness, but hints of it remain with me, begging to be felt. I shrug my shoulders as the beginning lyrics of ‘Too Much’ fills the car, and I only turn it up louder. “I get t’ pick tha next song, if yer playin’ sad stuff. Bloody rubbish you are at pickin’ songs,” he sighs jokingly with a shake of his head, curls tickling his ears and the nape of his neck. 
“I am not!” 
“‘Kay, brat, keep talkin’,” he snickers, earning another scoff from me that he answers with a harder laugh. I cast my eyes to the window with an exaggerated whimper, soon hearing his profuse apologies. “‘m kiddin’, Becks, bloody hell. I already know ya have a good taste in music from all o’ our talks. I like this song too, jus’ thought ya’d go fer some happy songs, seein’ tha . . occasion and e’rythin’. Hey.” 
I answer him with my eyes returning to him, finding his wink before he looks back to traffic, and with my thumb coasting back and forth across his smooth skin. I listen to the lyrics, feeling another squeeze of my hand from him before I change the song. 
“Hey, don’t change it befo’ ‘s done!” he exclaims, and I just laugh, watching his shocked lips soon do the same. 
“Then stop complaining,” I argue, catching another roll of his eyes as the car slows to a stop in front of another light. Joy buds on my lips as the surprise unfolds on his features, meanwhile his eyes crinkle, the dimples fall deeper, and his raspberry lips thin out as a smile consumes his face. 
“I knew ya were sumthin’ special,” he notes aloud with a shake of his head, a giggle emanating from his joyous smile, right before he joins me to sing along to Shania Twain’s ‘Man, I Feel Like A Woman.’ 
His fingers laced between mine continue to send my heart into overdrive as we belt out the song between contagious laughs, and then another crowd favourite, ‘You’re Still The One.’ This one gets me and sometimes throughout the song, I can’t get myself to look at him with the sincerity held in the lyrics. As well as the words that hit too close to home. 
Finally, I can’t stand it anymore, and my eyes drift over to his at the end of the song, finding that his are already on mine. “‘m so glad we made it. Look how far we’ve come, my baby,” Harry finishes with his eyes dancing upon me with that smile dripping with molasses. As if his hand squeezing mine periodically throughout the song wasn’t already making me want to cry, now I really could. I return the gesture before looking out the window, blinking back the arriving tears from my eyes as those lasting words sing inside of my head. 
Yeah, we finally made it, Harry. Belatedly, but finally.
+
“‘s been years since ‘ve been here, hasn’t changed much tho’,” Harry remarks softly, only a few steps away from my door. 
“Yeah, the inside looks bout the same too.”
“‘m sure. Maybe I could see fer meself one o’ these days,” he remarks aloud, and when my eyes drag over to his nervously, I answer him with a nod. 
“I’d like that.”
“Me too,” he coos, rubbing the pad of his thumb along the back of my hand. A shy smile nudges at the edge of my lips as he stands in front of me, my right hand still safe within his. “Well, I had a wondaful time t’night, thanks again.”
“You’re welcome, and thank you too. I had a lot of fun . . with you.”
“So did I, bug. ‘ll um, text you later then?” Harry says, clearing his throat awkwardly, his bottom lip soon returning to its nervous spot. 
“Y-yeah, sounds good,” I mumble quietly, eyes falling to my hand that he drops. The absence of his warmth against mine feels very strange now, having been holding hands for the entire drive and subsequent walk up to my apartment. 
“Night, Becks.”
“Goodnight, Harry, careful driving,” is the last thing I say before slipping behind my door, finding Skye perched on the sofa. The monotonous, forced words echo in my ears and my eyes fall to the floor, disappointment flooding every inch of me. 
“So, how’d it go?! Did you finally fucking kiss him?!” she shouts the second the door meets its frame. 
“No,” I admit between shy lips, the steps I take seeming as if they’re from somebody else’s body, not mine. The entire last five minutes feels like somebody else had lived them, not me. No, it can’t end like that. “Not yet, anyways,” I rush, ignoring my shoes I already toed off, spinning around and ripping open the door. “Harry, wait!” I exclaim, finding his surprised expression waiting in front of the lift. 
“What?” he asks, eyebrows bent into a questioning mess. 
“I-I forgot something,” I manage, the words spilling out in a heap while he closes the distance between us, stopping right in front of me. Right where I need him. 
“Forgot what, bug? Did ya forget yer shoes in me car?” he titters, the fluorescent glow overhead picking out the few blonde hairs in his stubble. 
“No . . something else,” I finally admit, taking a step when there aren’t any left. 
The dimples remain set into his cheeks while his eyes fall to my lips and mine raise to his. His facial hair is prickly and dense under the pad of my thumb, and his coveted bottom lip is warm and pillowy. The golden hue of his olive green irises fills my mind when my lips finally meet his, and at last, I find his bottom lip between my own. His sweet giggle sounds against my lips as my fingers get lost in his buttery curls. I come to echo it when his hands shock me with their coldness against my hips, pulling me closer to him. One strays to the back of my head as his lips move against mine, the word ‘finally’ repeating incessantly within my mind. His barely there beard is scratchy against my skin, contrasting to the smooth tip of his nose grazing my cheek. The cinnamon and cocoa powder from the Tiramisu cake tickles my taste buds while his spicy vanilla smell covers me like a blanket. Zings shoot across my palm pressed to his smiling cheek, his facial hair prickly against the sensitive skin. 
Not feeling like what was actually mere seconds later, air fills my lungs when we pull away at the same time, sharp inhales filling the air. Quickly, his sweet giggle joins it, and ropes one of my own in. The tip of his nose leaves trails on my cheek as his forehead falls onto mine. 
“Ya have no idea how long ‘ve waited fer that,” Harry rasps, his warm breath dancing across my lips. His own press a whisper of a kiss to mine briefly, although after that, now I’m sure it could never be long enough. 
“I think I do know,” I mumble, my hand straying to his chin where I brush the tip of my thumb against the flesh of his bottom lip. 
“‘m sorry it took us so long, bug.”
“It’s okay, we’re here now. Finally,” I tell him and he nods, the twinkle in his eye bright as can be. For the first time, I let myself melt and lose myself in the greens of his eyes. Something I have wanted to do ever since the very first time I looked into his green eyes and knew I was fucked. 
“Yes, we are. And look at you, Becks. Ya beat me t' tha first date and tha first kiss,” he smirks with a decadent laugh adorning his words. I can’t help but join him while I twirl a ringlet of his hair around the tip of my finger against the back of his neck. 
“Oh, it’s okay, Harry. You got the first hand hold, and the first Shania Twain car duet.”
A roll of his miraculous eyes accompanies his continuing laugh, “Ya, well, so did you, but I got tha more romantic one,” he insists, words welcomed by my surprised scoff. 
“Wait, you don’t find ‘Man, I Feel Like A Woman’ romantic?!” I nearly exclaim in faux disbelief, my voice softening into a giggle quickly. 
“Only when you sing it, bug,” Harry smiles, thumbing circles into the small of my back. 
“Wait, you got tha first handhold, brat. Rememba, when I visited you at yer old work that day? Bloody hell, you beat me t’ all tha good ones, Becks. No fair,” he snickers with a sigh to his words, the two contrasting the other. I suffice my response with an obligatory nod, feeling my heart just now starting to settle into a regular beat. “Becks, there’s so many things ‘ve wanted t’ say t’ you, and now, I finally can.”
“I think I know how you feel.” 
“First thing ‘ll say ‘s I get tha second date and tha second kiss,” Harry contends with a smirk held in his eyes. 
“Oh, really?” I giggle and he soon nods. He quiets the laugh beginning on my lips with his own giddy ones, my lips molding against his effortlessly. Thoughts blossom quickly within my mind, including why I waited so fucking long to kiss him. If I’d known all of these years how wonderful it feels to kiss him, I never would have waited this long. Our kisses are slow although hurried, our lips searching for the other’s desperately, and somehow perfectly. Years overdue, and it couldn’t feel any more perfect. 
“Fookin’ hell, I jus’ wanna keep kissin’ you, Becks. Dunno if I can stop,” he chuckles, brushing his nose against mine softly. Shockingly, his eyes are even more gorgeous from this view, and I didn’t think that was possible. Evidently, anything is. 
“You don’t have to,” I laugh and he shrugs his shoulders while his eyebrows mimic the expression, his giggle soon vibrating against my tingling lips. 
“We have loads o’ lost time t’ make up fer,” he notes aloud. 
“Yes, we do. A couple years, give or take.”
“Mmmhmm, yer right there, li’l one. Fook, there were so many times I wanted t’ kiss ya ova the years,” he sighs with a sad shake of his head. His dimple is soft under my fingertip, hidden under the warm brunette facial hair. 
“Then kiss me.”
Too soon, his lips leave mine after a short peck, but I press at the back of his curls and envelope his laugh with my lips. My name falls from him in a delighted whisper before one more kiss. Our laughs grow louder only to be muffled, although weakly, when a figure walks by into their nearby apartment. My face runs to the crook of his neck, my very favorite song dancing along my ears as he holds me against him. 
“Nothing to see here, sir,” I joke, and the warmth filling my insides grows at the sound of his happiness. 
“No, I rememba I got tha first handhold that night we went out fer drinks tha first time. Tha night with tha Purple Hazes and all those shots,” Harry insists from above me, and I give him the funniest look when I come out of hiding. 
“You’re still going on about that?” I ask in near disbelief, watching his curls move when he nods his head, dipping to meet my lips with his for a slow kiss. 
“I don’t want this night to end,” I hum against the strawberry color of his decadent mouth. 
“Neither do I, Becks. ‘ve been waitin’ fer it fer so long,” he agrees, the wispiness of his eyelashes ghostlike against my forehead. 
“It’s getting late, and Skye is probably dying to hear how tonight went.”
“Ya betta go and tell tha poor girl then,” he responds, pulling my eyes towards his that sit just a moment away, sending all of the sunshine in my direction. 
“That’s okay?”
“‘Course. I may or may not ring Myles on tha way home t’ tell him all ‘bout it,” he shrugs with a telling lilt to his sing-song voice. The only sound that leaves my lips is an amused laugh that he echoes, and I know that he feels the same way.
At last, I know after over two years that he feels the same way, through and through. 
“We’ll figure out sumthin’ fer this weekend t’getha, sound good?”
“Yeah, sounds great, Harry,” I agree slowly and he nods ever so slightly, leaving kisses starting from my temple and down my cheek. 
“G’night, bug.”
“Night, Harry. Drive careful,” I tell him and once again, he answers me with a nod. 
“I promise, babe.”
“Goodnight,” I almost whisper, the very last breath of the word stolen away by his lips. I wouldn’t want it any other way, I barely am able to think as his lips massage mine between his. His neck is fiery beneath my palms and I’m sure mine is likened to it underneath his fingertips, surges of electricity passing below my skin. The skin is balmy against my blushing cheek when my arms come around his middle, surprising us both with a long hug, before I pull away first. 
“Night, my Becks,” he murmurs against my lips, a shiver running down my spine when he leaves with a final squeeze to my hand. If that didn’t do it, the song flowing from his humming lips sparks memories behind my eyes, but I still can’t figure out where it’s from. But, I know that I have plenty of time to figure it out, and to get all of the kisses that I want from him. 
Fucking finally.

How’s My Life? I don’t know I Never Really Had One.
I was born in 1990, from 93 to 98 I was raised middle class in the country. Anything I wanted my dad bought it for me because he worked at Goodyear. My mother turned my word upside down from 98 to 2002 when she told me he wasn’t my real father and she was divorcing him. She wound up cheating on him and moving me in with an alcoholic former marine that locked me in a walk in closet for 4 years and for 3 of them when he wasn’t beating me I was his boyfriend and he never worked. 
If I chewed my fingernails he beat me. If I didn't turn the light switch off before I left a room he beat me. If he caught me trying to sneak food out of the fridge he beat me. He shattered a flashlight over my head for bringing home a bad report card in front of my mother. He gave me a handjob with my pants on while my mom was sitting in front of me a few times and even though she looked me in my eyes she didn't say a word just kept watching television. He made me read porn magazines and watch pornographic films with him since I was 9 years old. He would make me hold his cock when he went to the bathroom to take a piss. I would wake up to him in the middle of the night having sex with me so I start sticking objects inside of myself thinking that if I stretched out the area that maybe I would be able to handle it more easier. There were even times where I would feel unusually tired between 5-7 in the evening which was around the same time he was taking me on these gun shooting trips with a man named George Reynolds and I have my suspicions that he was giving me drugs and letting him have sex with me when I was passed out. He stuck loaded guns to my head threatening to kill me if I told any of my teachers about it. So I was kept in solitary confinement and fed one or two meals a day to keep me alive so they could get my SSI check in the mail to buy beer with it.
I spent my 8th grade year living at my grandmothers house away from all the abuse and I actually made the honor roll. So my mom leaves him and meets my little brothers dad and talks me into moving in with her again and I spend 03 to 06 repeatedly getting grounded while his family bullied and beat me so they could get my SSI check in the mail and buy more beer with it. To make matters worse when we had to move out of a place in west logan his daughters left my belongings on the property after they moved their stuff out and the property owner threw all of my stuff in the garbage. The only thing I had to my name was the clothes on my back and I didn't even know that it happened until my mother called me and told me about it.
Then I told my grandmother I had enough and I want to move in with her she welcomed me with open arms. I actually went to the dentist for once because my mother never took me in the past ten years and I figured out I had 11 cavities in my mouth. I didn’t know how to interact socially around people so the friends that I did manage to make became a second family to me. So from 06 to 08 I was more focused having a social life and having two short term relationships than I was on my school work so I barely even graduated high school.
A woman that I wanted to marry that I spent 9 months with off and on and I lost my virginity to told me to meet her across town so that she could go back to my grandmothers house to meet my uncle in the basement for a quickie out of revenge for me breaking up with her multiple times and only got caught because my step sister walked in on the two of them so I spent the end of 08 to 2010 getting a lot of casual encounters out of my system trying to forget about her but nothing made me feel better.
From 2010 to 2012 I tried to get a job but I have had such an emotionless thousand yard stare that it was like trying to give a job interview to a robot. So when nobody would hire me a friend of mine named David was paying me a little bit of money working and training me as an contractor plus I also got a second job because a man name Charles who was running a business in the back of his place said that he needed a second locksmith. My grandmother kept getting sick so I began to spend more time taking care of her than I was showing up where I needed to be. David replaced me with another coworker and they ended up opening their own business and Charles ended up relocating out of state.
Here I am 22 years old I’m broke and I have to be a caregiver to my grandmother. Boy I could really use a friend, but as months went by nobody called me, texted me, came by the house. It got to where I was so depressed I checked myself into a mental health facility for a week to try to cope with my situation. Then when I got home I decided I love my grandmother dearly but I need to leave this town. I ended up leaving early in the morning to catch a bus and my grandmother talked to me on the phone thinking that I was a son of a bitch and she doesn't have anyone that's going to take care of her. So I had family who lived in a different state that took me in and I got a job working as a telemarketer. My uncle back home ends his own life and none of my family is helping my grandmother with emotional support so I have to move back for over half a year. I go back out of state again and another uncle gets me a job working as a maintenance man. However he cannot stop his addiction to pain pills so whenever he got done blowing his paycheck he was always wanting me to give him most of mine. Then one day I put my foot down and said I’m not doing this for you anymore and he told lies to my boss and got me fired.
I got a job working as a caregiver under the table for a lady who lived across the street from me because all of her family was thousands of miles away. So 400 dollars a month was a lot better to me than nothing. And at this point I was taking turns being a caregiver for my neighbor, grandmother and the aunt I was living with. My aunt has MS and I had two cousins that were in their mid to late 30's that never lifted a finger to do dishes or clean house I was stuck doing all the house work for free and whenever I am not in Logan and I'm back home I'm still expected to do it.
I have to regularly travel back and forth to my grandmothers house because whenever I call her she says she doesn’t eat for days sometimes because even though my mom lives in the house directly behind her she cannot come over and cook 2-3 times a day. It’s not like my mother works because now that she is single she keeps my little brother in the house just like she did to me most of my life while she plays games and spends his SSI money. I can barely afford to put shoes on my feet and my grandmothers pet cat sat on top of a new laptop and soaked it in piss and she said that it was my fault because I didn't lock the door when I went to sleep. So I went back home and didn't wanna talk to her for a few weeks out of anger.
My real father comes back into my life in 2017 and a year later he actually gets me a job working with him for the mayor of a small town near Columbus renovating rental properties. I find out mom cheated on him with the man that worked at Goodyear. The mayor pays me 200 dollars for a week of work and I thought if this is the rate I’m starting out I’m just gonna move up here. So I worked with him for over a month but I was still calling my grandmother twice a week just to see how she is doing. I try to call one day I never got an answer so then I tried again the next day and a nurse answers the phone and tells me she almost died.
I told my father I need to go back and be with her so when I got back my mother said she was gonna pay me 50 bucks to help my grandmother get situated inside of a nursing home facility. I said ok when I get done with this dad can just pick me up and take me back when all of this is finished. Not only was I lied to but my grandmother fell and fractured one of her bones and had to lay starving in her own piss and shit for 3 days before any of my family bothered to come over and check on her. She only spent one day in the nursing home before she started crying and screaming she wanted to go home. I wound up having to spend 2 months living at her house again changing her depends cooking all her meals the whole nine yards. Funny thing was when me my aunt and my mom went to pick her back up from the nursing home they had a good laugh after making the comment that they should have just let the crabby old bitch walk back home with her depends around her ankles holding onto a walker.
Here I am 30 years old all of my teeth are rotten and I don’t have any money for a dentist. I have never been able to stay on one job long enough to even know the first thing about paying income taxes because my aunt and my grandmother take turns crying over the phone that nobody is taking care of them. I would rather sleep under a bridge than go on welfare. I have never owned a car or got a stimulus check. I have never had my own place and I have never owned a smartphone. And all my family can do is sit around and laugh at me when I'm not around and call me a loser, meanwhile their kids are going to college and are living out on their own, but if it was any of them dealing with this they would have put my grandmother away a long time ago. It’s like as long as she is my problem they don’t have to deal with her but the minute they hear she’s too sick to eat or doesn’t feel well they would be the same people to jump on the phone yelling, “WHY HAVENT YOU MADE HER NOTHING TO EAT!” I am not a danger to myself or anyone around me.
My father has not been back to see me or even call me because every single time he shows up my family asks him if he has any money, I have no friends and I have anxiety attacks that keep me from sleeping at night because I know I’m going to die homeless under a bridge because I’m at that age that nobody is going to want to hire me anymore. I do little jobs here and there so I can buy some vodka and cranberry juice so it’s easier to go to sleep at night. For the past two weeks yet again here I am at my grandmothers house. She goes through 3 pairs of pants a day because of bladder problems I have to change her depends 7-8 times a day. I have to comb her hair take her phone calls do her cooking. Sometimes I don’t sleep for 2 days straight just so I can sleep on the third day to be up early enough to help her to the bathroom.
Again I’m 30 years old but it’s like I spent 17 years of my life in jail for a crime that I didn’t commit. And I told my grandmothers caseworker back when I was 23 years old that people I've tried to talk to over the years have told me that I can get paid for the work that I'm doing with her and all she said to me was that I would interfere with the income she was getting from the government so she can't do it. My mom doesn't own a car and she lied about being disabled so she could live off of her children’s SSI and my grandmother doesn't know how to read or write and has never owned a car but got pregnant 8  times so she could live off their SSI and my grandfather could use it to get drunk with. My family does like the remind me though that because I don't believe in God that I'm going to go to hell. Scientists have long since proven that dinosaurs existed millions of years before humans. I finally understood that the enlightenment that the Buddha was talking about was actually another word for nihilism. I suppose I understand letting go of material possessions and not causing suffering to other living creatures. Nihilism for me is like Buddhism except I am still a meat eater. I think people who are vegan do not understand that if these animals were not in such a demand that they are then they would go away just like the rest of the other species we've had a hand in wiping out as we let our population grow larger and larger.
I love my 84yo grandmother very much and she tells me she loves me and my mother has not told me she loved me in over 22 years. And I'd like to think that I'm finally going to be free to be by myself and make my own choices for once by the time that my grandmother is dead. But I know all that is going to happen is I'm going to be one of those 40yo men that stand on the street begging people for spare change. Till one day a cousin of mine is gone drive up in a new car laughing at me telling me I should have went to college. It's February 2021, I got a birthday coming up in 4 month, I have never been to jail one day in my life, I have no criminal record of any kind. I've just always been this dog that gets is chain tugged on and I bark.
The only thing that the world has taught me is people only have time for you as long as it is convenient for them and even when they appear genuine I always wonder if everything coming out of their mouth is a fucking lie. I have fantasies about picking up the pieces that Hitler left behind after he shot himself in the head only I do not believe in a master race. I feel betrayed by my own empathy for other human beings, I don't care what color they are, they are destructive selfish semi evolved primates that are too brainwashed by their own bullshit to accept the fact that money is their God. And just because there are children across America dying in the hospital from cancer that doesn't mean that when they die they got a heaven to go to. 
After all those days trapped in my room when I was a child barely even weighing 90 pounds I never thought for one minute I was gonna grow up to be a loser. Lol if any of my family read this they would just say that if I was so damn miserable why didn't I just get out? Oh cool so that means you're gonna move her into your house? No??? Does that mean you're gonna help her with all of her daily activities so she doesn't cry to me on the phone every couple of days that she's not getting any help and all her home heath aides do is do dishes and sit on their ass? No??? Ok then what kind of Christmas card did you pick out for me this year? Whoever said we were getting you one, you need to get a job you damn loser. And it's actually worse now because they stopped all of her home heath aides last year because my mother gave her bed bugs and she didn't want to say anything about it.
I feel like a human trafficking victim with stockholm syndrome but when I look up what a caregiver is it actually says work without pay right in the description so it's not like I can take anyone for lost wages. I've never even got a present for my birthday party or for Christmas since I was 7 years old and the only time I do is when my grandmother gives me some money so I can put some new shoes on my feet or get a new coat to wear.
But I'm a man I'm not supposed to talk about my feelings I need to suck it up.

take out and stressed cuddles are what make better evening- a sander sides au LAMP oneshot
This took awhile to refine and finish, and I know I havent posted about this particular au in awhile but after a long work week and I came back to this and finally sat down and got the inspiration to finish this. I’ll get to my other projects soon but this is a bit of a oldie and close to my heart. So I hope you guys like it too!
This is dedicated and inspired by @residentanchor and her story ALIP, Celery I hope you like this! 
~~~~~~~~
Things were remarkably peaceful, especially for a bigger bustling city as thesky dyed itself in reds pinks and golds. The city lights were slowly flickering on with cheerful glows as the sounds of the city rumbled through the streets of the heart and even a few streets and blocks out of it, at a larger apartment complex. Within a special third story apartment the sunset glowed into the dim living room, where the outside noises were overpowered by the dull volume of two men joking and discussing cryptids and the mysteries around them floating out of a neatly placed laptop upon a low table. The laptop’s owner was across from it on the couch, his purple dyed hair flopping into his face. The man was Virgil Collins, a 22 year old fresh out of collage adult, his lanky looking body sprawled out across the couch on his side with his hoodie still over his work uniform and one shoe ladded foot hanging over the edge. One look at his sleeping face showed some dark circles starting to form under his eyes from a lack of proper sleep, and his body occasionally twitched as he dreamed, face scrunching up from time to time in displeasure. He had gotten home to his shared apartment first for the first time in a long while,everyone else catching late shifts. This wouldve meant that Virgil was supposed to make dinner for the four of them, and he had meant to really. But he had been so stressed and exhausted from work that once his head hit the couch pillow and youtube was droning he had been out cold. 
And thats exactly how Patton Foster, his eldest roommate, had found him a few hours later when he got home from his own job, dressed up like a waiter with some flour dusting his black jeans. The 27 year old man pulled off his shoes as he walked in and paused, a soft but concerned smile tugging at his lips. With a soft sigh he walked over and carefully draped a blanket over his roommate, gently running his fingers through his hair soothingly when Patton saw Virgil’s face scrunch again. But soon he relaxed and Patton left him alone to go change, texting their other two roommates to try to be quiet when they got in, and that he’d be getting dinner tonight. 
20 minutes later Patton was leaning over the kitchen counter scrolling his phone quickly, eyes scanning the screen. Without him noticing their more reserved roommate, Logan Masters, slipped into the apartment and into the kitchen.
“ Evening Patton...I assume Virgil’s sleeping figure is the reason for your texts?” The other man smiled brightly and nodded, straightening up. “ Ah yes! oops--i mean yeah...Poor thing looks so exhausted right now even in his sleep I figured he should get as much of it as he can...and maybe order some food tonight so he doesnt fret over missing his night to cook.” Logan smiled and peered at his phone a little, observing the options. 
“ Well...Roman will be home soon, he missed his usual bus so he had to take the ‘worse’ one according to his text.” Patton giggled a little and went back to his phone.
“ Well, in that case it sounds like some Chinese take out might be just the thing we all need. Dontcha think Lo?” He got a small chuckle and a smile and it was enough of an answer for him to start throwing together a big order while showing the taller man to go change from work, leaning against the counter and poking his head out to check up on their youngest roomie, sighing in relief to see him still calmly asleep. It took another 20 minutes before their last roommate, one extravagant Roman Prince, sweep quietly into the apartment and lean against the door with a dramatic sigh, getting soft giggles out of Patton. The sound made Roman smile as he waved passing the kitchen and tiptoed to his room, smiling softly at the purple haired man on his way. 
When their dinner finally arrived it took both Patton and Logan to carry it all in, just to see Roman sat beside Virgils head, sitting on the floor watching his laptop and humming softly. But the smell soon filled the room and with a rumble virgil finally opened his purplish blue eyes and lifted his head with an groggy “huh?” 
“ Morning hun! You were napping when we got home so we decided to let you sleep and ordered take out for all of us. Wanna move your laptop and we’ll all watch some movies or something?” He nodded and moved it as he woke up ore, blinking the sleep from his eyes and making an upset sound as he remembered that “ But...Pat it was my night to cook and I completely forgot...I...” “ Oh hush Brothers’ Grim. Take out might do us all some good. Now if you dont pick a movie I will, and you wont like it~.” Roman grinned playfully as Virgil feigned a grimace.
“ Oh god...not Cinderella again please I couldnt take it.” The mahogany haired man gave a very offended gasp as the two bickered over movies and virgil sat up to let him on the couch. Within a blink he was comfy between Roman and Patton on the couch with Logan in arms reach on the floor in front of Patton, happily eating his share of food while they watched Big Hero Six, the sun fading into twinkling stars outside the windows. 
By the time the movie was over and another started he was full and relaxed, and all the stress of work and the day melted away with Patton massaging the base of his neck while they both essentially leaned on Roman who in turn gently carded his fingers through Logan’s hair as he read a book, the more stoic male leaning against Patton’s knee. And by the time the third movie had started they had all shifted onto the now blanket cushioned carpet with the table and food trash shoved off to the side in favor of more space for them all, ended up half tangled up together in one big cuddle pile. Virgil heard and could feel the sleepy hums from Roman with his head nestled on his chest, Patton’s arms around them both and Logan’s hand entwined with his on his other side. Roman let his eyes shut at the warm and comforting weight all around him, feeling Patton’s fingers tangle a little in his hair and Patton smiled contently when Logan reached his leg between the other two and tangled theirs together the best he could, the sound of the movies and the city outside slowly lulling them all to sleep on their little makeshift bed of blankets and pillows.
And they all were able to get a full night sleep that night.
End
So yeah! I hope you guys like this, because writing it made me really happy. and I’ll try to write more for everything else too!
Enjoy!

Running from then (one-shot)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Bucky Barnes & Reader Words: 990 Warnings: Mentions of violence, trauma, an overload of sadness... you know the drill, this is me after all Prompt: “You still need your baby blanket?” Summary: Your latest hiding spot from HYDRA and the Red Room has been compromised. But Natalia is busy. She sends a ghost from your past in her place. A/N: I’ve never written anything remotely about the Red Room before, so hopefully this holds up! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy <3
Tumblr media
Okay.
Deep breath in, deep breath out. In, out. Fold another shirt, roll a spare pair of pants, zip up the toiletries…
You’ve done all of this before. So why is it so much harder today?
An easy answer, for once. It’s harder today because it’s been too long. It’s harder today because you’ve gotten used to this place, these people, this life.
But HYDRA finds you every time, no matter what. Natalia’s spare time to help had run out ages ago, and after four months with no word, the security measures had frayed. You never were as good as her. Now, as then, you’re suffering for it.
You sit heavily on the bed and run your hands over the floral comforter. It’s a pretty room. You’ve added very little, but it’s still got the feel of home.
Or it did, until an hour ago, when the past showed up at the door.
“Hey.”
You glance up, alarmed as always by the first sight of the man blocking your doorway. It’s the soldat—no. No You correct yourself. It’s James. Bucky. Whatever he wants to call himself. Natalia calls his both, depending on the day, or maybe her mood.
But to you, he’ll always be the soldat. That’s what he was, back then.
You wonder what he sees when he looks at you.
“Almost ready?” he asks.
You nod and finish filling the suitcase. A week’s worth of clothes and toiletries—the rest you can leave to be burned with the house—along with your meds. A single thick folder of documents goes into the backpack with your laptop and a small purse. You zip the suitcase and the backpack and stand back, looking over what remains in the room. Stock landscape photos in cheap frames, a blue lamp, and a short stack of books on the nightstand. You add the top book to your backpack; the others you haven’t started, but this one’s halfway done. If nothing else, you’ll need something to read on the journey to somewhere.
The soldat brushes past you; you flinch aside. He sighs. He picks the suitcase and backpack off the bed.
“Time to go,” he says.
But there’s one more thing. You let him leave the room, then you fall to your knees by the bed and reach between the mattress and boxspring. You pull out a small, frayed blanket, light blue and worn to almost nothing in spots.
You hold it to your face and breathe in.
“What’s that?”
“N-nothing,” you stammer. You climb to your feet and clutch the blanket to your chest; it’s folded up almost small enough that he shouldn’t be able to see. But he does see. Of course he does.
His blue eyes soften. On someone else, it would have been sweet; on him, it looks unnatural. If only Natalia could have come instead!
“You still need your baby blanket?” he teases.
You stiffen. “It’s not mine, soldat.”
His brows draw low. You look away.
“My name is Bucky.”
You don’t answer. After a moment, the soldat—Bucky—turns on his heel and leads the way out of the ranch house. There’s a car waiting. He loads up the trunk and grabs a plastic can of oil and a cigarette. In the moment you look before he disappears back inside, the lit cigarette is dangling from his full lips, a burst of smoke obscuring his eyes.
In five minutes, you’re on the winding road, a line of smoke curling over the trees in the rearview mirror. The car’s reflective panels make it vanish once you make it to the first turn; anyone watching won’t know which way you’ve gone.
Bucky’s driving. The car is a little snug for him; you can tell even without looking his way by the sounds of him shifting ever back into his seat.
You spread the folded blue blanket across one of your thighs. Your fingers trace the faded pattern, the one spot in a corner yellowed from a stain. He says nothing, but you can feel the sold—Bucky’s eyes on you.
The heavy silence lingers until you break it with a sigh.
“This was not mine,” you murmur. “It was my brother’s. Natalia got it for me, after she got me out.”
Bucky adjusts his grip on the wheel. “What happened to him?”
“They killed him and my parents when they took me. Drove the car into the Volga and harvested my parents for parts. They sold my brother to a politician whose son had died, but my brother died too.”
“The blanket?”
“My grandparents had a summer house. Natalia found it there.” You stare at Bucky’s profile and wait for him to ask about your grandparents. But he doesn’t. He only drives. You look back at the blanket in your lap. You’ve never told this to anyone, but now that you’ve begun it’s impossible to stop. “She found their bodies too,” you add. “Apparently they didn’t believe the police report about how we died, and after Natalia got me out, HYDRA went for them so I couldn’t. Before that it didn’t matter, I suppose.”
Bucky puts his hand on the center console, palm up. You stare down at it, confused.
“What?”
He takes his hand away.
“Never mind.” He swallows. “How old were you? When they took you.”
You almost laugh. “Don’t you remember?”
Bucky closes his eyes; the road is mostly straight, but still you’re tense until he opens them again. They shine now, tired and teary. You’ve never seen him like this before. It’s strange. A hollow spot in your chest tightens—for you? For him? You don’t know.
“Yes,” he says, voice hoarse. “You were four.”
“Yes,” you repeat. “I was four.” You turn aside and watch the trees go by in a blur. After a minute, you realize your eyes are blurring too. You reach up and stare at your wet fingertips. You can’t remember the last time you cried.
Bucky puts his hand back on the center console. This time, you take it.

This Life Chapter 17
Tumblr media
Title: This Life Chapter 17
Summary:  Dean Winchester is the Vice President of the motorcycle club The Hunters. After almost 7 years in prison, he's free. But things have changed and Dean has to figure out how to put things back together.
Warnings: Language
AN: Thank you love @sams-serialkiller-fetish . The song for this chapter is Summertime Blues by Joan Jett.
“What are we still doing here?” Ruby asked the morning after the funeral. They were all gathered back at the garage, trying to figure out what to do. “We buried Benny. We should be heading back to California.”
“That requires having to go near Horsemen territory. And we kinda just killed one of their members.” Andy told her. “We’re just gonna stay here for a little bit and figure things out.”
“That’s why I’ve called in some reinforcements.” Meg said.
“Who?” Cas asked. That’s when a yellow AMC Germlin pulled into the lot.
“A friend.” Meg said. “She’s a genius. She can help us keep track of the Horsemen.” A redhead got out of the car with a smile on her face.
“‘Sup bitches.” She laughed.
“Guys, this is Charlie.” Meg introduced her. “She can hack anything.”
“So can Ash.” Cas said, crossing his arms. “You’re just bringing another person into the crossfire.”
“I laugh in the face of danger.” Charlie said, smiling. Cas just rolled his eyes and headed over to where Caleb and Jim were. “Is he always this friendly?”
“Trust me, the Hunters aren’t exactly a warm and loving bunch.” Gabriel sighed.
“One of them was.” Ruby added.
“And Sam’s not too bad.” Lucifer said with a shrug.
“Sam is one of us. Not one of them.” Gabriel pointed out. “So of course he’s awesome.”
“Guys, let’s face it,” Andy said, looking at all of them, even Charlie. “Sam might be one of us, but his true home and family is here in Wolfpine.” He motioned over to where Sam was perched on a stool, watching Dean tune up Baby. “And I have a feeling, he won’t be going back to California with us.”
“So, do I get to meet this mysterious Sam?” Charlie asked.
“Of course sweetheart.” Meg said. “I’ll go introduce you to anyone and then we’ll get you set up.” She led Charlie away from the other Wayward Sons.
“I wonder what she’s supposed to be doing here?” Andy asked, looking at Ruby and the brothers. “I guess we’ll find out.” He said when no one answered him. He made his way over to where Meg was introducing Charlie to some of the Hunters, ready to find out.
****
Charlie was set up in the office by Ellen, typing a mile a minute and looking at reports. Ellen was impressed to say the least. Charlie was a woman on a mission obviously.
“You need a job?” Ellen asked. “I’ve got about fifteen years of files that need typed up and organized right. I’m no computer expert and Jo’s not that fast of a typer.” Charlie laughed some.
“Maybe when I settle down and decide I don’t want to be a grey hat anymore.” Charlie told her. She had a beautiful Blueberry iBook and a Wifi card. So Ellen assumed that she was doing something to make some money. “I heard someone say that they were sending me help?”
“Um, I’m not sure.” Ellen told her. “What do you need help with?”
“Nothing. That’s why I’m confused.” Charlie told her. That’s when a bright orange El Camino pulled into the lot, Lynyrd Skynyrd blaring from it. The engine was cut and music stopped as Ash climbed out of the car.
“Relax everyone, I’m here.” Ash said. Caleb laughed and Cas wenet over to talk to him. A few minutes later, Ash was walking into the office with Ellen and Charlie. “Who’s this?”
“Charlie.” Charlie said to him. “And I don’t need your help.”
“Tracking the Horsemen can be a tough challenge. And I did go to MIT.” Ash said, flipping his hair back.
“MIT? That’s cool. I went to Cornell.” Charlie told him. “And I think I can manage just fine.” Ash flopped down on the dirty old couch that set in the office and got his own laptop out.
“You might be able to handle it just fine, but I want to help anyway.” Ash said. Ellen laughed a little.
“I’m just gonna go find Bobby. It’s getting a little too crowded in here for me.” With that, Ellen left, leaving Ash and Charlie to stare each other down while typing away.
“Watchya lookin’ at over there?” Ash asked, glancing at Charlie.
“Things and stuff.” She said. “You?”
“Updating my stock portfolio.” He said with sarcasm seething.
“Well, if this a competition, may the best woman win.” Charlie said.
“Oh I intend to…” Ash realized what Charlie had said and glared and started in on his search. He was going to win.
****
“Why is Ash here?” Sam asked, looking to where they had set Charlie up. Dean looked over and shrugged, not sure why he was here.
“I called him.” Cas said. “I’d rather have someone from our team working on this. I just don’t trust some of those Wayward Sons.”
“I saw the way you’ve been looking at Meg.” Jim teased. Cas’s face turned red.
“I have not…” Cas said. Bobby laughed.
“Guess Cassie boy isn’t as much as monk as he wants us all to believe.” Caleb announced.
“You guys are all assholes.” Cas said, rolling his eyes. “Anyway, I wanted a backup in case this Charlie isn’t as good as Meg said she is. And I trust Ash more than I trust Charlie.” There was a motorcycle pulling into the lot. Gordon got off his bike and headed to them.
“Hey guys.” He said.
“Hi Gordon.” Bobby said. “What can I do for you?”
“Bike’s making weird noises. Can you check it out for me?” He asked.
“On it.” Dean said, heading over to Gordon’s bike. Gordon looked at Sam and his eyes widened slightly before he plastered a smile on his face.
“Hey Sammy.” Gordon said. Sam frowned more than he already was.
“Hi Gordon.” He grumbled.
“Okay then. Uh, point me in the way of the bathroom?” Gordon asked. Sam motioned to where the bathrooms were and let Gordon on his way. Gordon made his way in and shut the door. He thought Azazel was going to kill the crown prince. Alastair had sent him there to scope out the situation. He noticed Benny wasn’t standing around with them like he used to. So that was one down.
He looked around the small bathroom, wondering what he was supposed to do next. He looked at the sink, ready to splash his face to get his head around everything, when he saw a bracelet laying there. A bracelet he had seen before. It belonged to Sam. An exchange gift when he gave Dean an amulet that was supposed to protect him on runs. Sam had lost it once when Gordon was over and he thought the kid was going to have a panic attack until they found it.
It was perfect.
Gordon pocketed the bracelet. He wasn’t sure why he did, but it seemed right. He gave himself another minute before he headed back out. Dean was wiping grease off his hands talking to Caleb. He looked up at Gordon.
“Just a couple loose wires.” Dean told him. Gordon nodded.
“Don’t have a job for me, do you?” Gordon asked.
“No man. Sorry.” Caleb said. Gordon nodded again and went back to his bike.
“Well, thanks for the fix.” Gordon said, starting up his bike and driving off. Dean looked at the others.
“Something doesn’t sit me right with him.” He said. Sam nodded in agreement. He looked around.
“Anyone seen my bracelet?” He asked.
“Sorry man, I haven’t.” Cas said. “It’ll show up though.”
****
Gordon made it out of Wolfpine and headed to New Mexico. He stopped close to the state line where Alastair was waiting for him. The Horsemen looked like he was ready to fight. Gordon just hoped it wasn’t with him.
“What did you find out?” Alastair asked.
“Everyone was there except for Benny Lafitte.” Gordon reported. “Even Sam.”
“Damn it.” Alastair sighed. “Azazel was a capable leader, but he let his emotions get the best of him.”
“I snagged this.” Gordon said, handing Alastair Sam’s bracelet. “It’s Sam’s. I don’t know if it will do any good or not…”
“I actually think I have a plan.” Alastair said, smirking. “Good job Gordon. You’re definitely a Horsemen.”

Better to?
Is it better to be alive and constantly miserable? Or dead and know peace?
If I fail a class this semester, there is an extremely high likelihood that i will be pulled out of college for financial reasons. If that happens I've been told I will have no choices, my life will be ultimately destroyed. The only job I'd be able to get is a minimum wage, soul crushing mindless existence. I'd never be able to afford a second chance at college. I'd never be able to survive on minimum wage, I'd have to get two jobs and even then I'd barely make ends meet.
And that's if I was able to get a second job. I'd never know love because I'd be too busy trying just to survive and after that too tired to function. 2 full time jobs is not exactly free to have feelings like love. And with who I am, finding someone would be a damn miracle and god has already proven he shall have no mercy on me.
And the gods know I'd never have a lucky break with writing or art, if I even had the time or energy to put into either of them.
Every check just going to not being dead for another week, stuck in a job or if I'm lucky, 2, that I hate, barely making ends meet, all because when I was 19 I got cocky and ended up failing Precal or was forgetful and failed English because if it.
To be able to say, "I was young, dumb, sure of myself, and because of it I've amounted to nothing, never known love, was never able to have a family, and lived a fate comparable to hell on earth."
I've been religiously told this for the last 6 months by my parents. And 6 months is lowballing it.
My biggest fear is dying alone. My second biggest fear to be forgotten. If I fail both are going to happen. I'm going to die alone in a house that is barely holding together without a soul to remember me.
I'll be forgotten within a week of my death, if not, a month at most. Nothing I've ever done will have mattered, ultimately I was just a waste of the universes time, even if I did make a couple peoples days just a little bit brighter.
Is it better to live and be miserable with no hope, or to die and be done with it?
At this point it's basically pass or die. A 70 on my math final to pass and have to retake because of how it is with my major, an 85 on it to never take that class again, and with English I've done what I can and at this point all I can do is hope.
And don't any of you dare call me selfish for this. To call suicidal people selfish is selfish itself. You're only concerned about the impact that persons death would have on you or their family, worry about the person who wants to kill themselves because they are in pain or see no other option.
And never call me selfish. I've made every choice for somebody else. Choice in college was because if years of "if you go to clemson you'll make your grandfather proud." And he's the actual kindest person I've ever met of course I dont want to let him down, I couldn't get there on my highschool GPA or ACTs so I found some backass method to get there. CSU has an applied math program that does 4 years there, 2 years at Clemson and you get two degrees for the 6 year period.
My father was all for that for the reason of being able to rub it in my aunts and uncles faces.
This is the same man that punched a brick wall hard enough to let out a blood curdling scream, make the house shake from the punch, and instill the fear of death in a child because a 12 year old didnt do his English homework. Why that 12 year old didnt do their homework? Just didnt want to, so over time did less and less of it.
Which is a legitimately normal thing by the way, 6th graders dont always want to do their homework and of course they are going to lie about it, dont act like his responce was in any way justifiable.
The man to this day still threatens to pin me to a wall and beat the shit out of me if I lie to him again, which wouldnt be as much of an issue if he didn't terrify me to the point of never telling him anything ever again out of fear for my life.
My choice of major was because of him. I wanted to be a doctor for a while but then my mom spent a collective 5 years dying in the hospital, so that dream died. No fault to her she couldn't control it. I then wanted to be a psychiatrist, therapist, that deal. Made the mistake of mentioning it around dad and got told promptly "it's not a real job." 10 year old me gave up on that real quick.
Then it went lawyer for a while because I figured a good paying job will be acceptable, hes always on about money anyways. After months upon like a year or something of "oh it's a lot of school and it's really hard and are you sure about it?" That dream too, was killed.
So the next thing I said was computers. Nothing more, nothing less, and it was finally acceptable. It was the most predicatable answer out of me and the first one to really be approved of. So for years i was content not having my dreams put down, then came college and I put my dreams down for computer engineering, on the track to clemson.
I then changed my major to computer science and over time put some thought into my actual interests.
Astronomy, the language of the stars. Physics, the language of the universe. Linguistics, the study of language. Writing, where you can be a god of your own little world. Geology, because rocks are just cool yo. Intetior Design, every time dad drags me to work with him I sit around and mentally start designing each room. And at the bottom of the list, Computer Science.
And the final mistake made in this whole college thing, I applied to only 1 college and to 0 scholarships. The scholarships I got are state ones, and I was told to keep a 3.0 GPA, which if you've ever seen one of my report cards you know how bad of an idea relying on that is. You have to have no idea what any of my report cards have ever looked like to think for a minute that trusting I will keep a B average for 6 years with no problems at all is even slightly a good idea.
So when my grades came in first semester, the night of December 13 I was legitimately shaking in fear for my life. December 23 when my parents found my grades out they gave me a 2~3 hour scream and then since then all my tech, aside from my phone and laptop, has been sitting in a tote box in my closet.
April they see my grades again and since then I havent been allowed to even have my door closed, and was strongly told that if I'm caught reading anything that isnt for school they'd burn it.
I could have probably avoided half of this if I was just a little more selfish, but I made every choice for someone else. If I was just a little more selfish I would be in a college half the price of CSU in a major that wouldnt be my last choice. Were I just a little more self centered, I wouldn't fear my father killing me over my grades.
Maybe I'm so destructively selfless because every moment that was supposed to have been about me quickly became about someone else. High school graduation after the fact during the pictures I got pushed to the side so my cousins could have a picture of just them, when there literally were three other walls and outside that they could have done that. Have you ever taken a picture outside at night? It's got a beautiful magic about it, and the lights were on dont even try to say "oh it's too dark", also cameras tend to have a flash so that's no excuse to push ME out of the way on MY graduation day. Kinda a big deal to me because when you look at my extended family I am among the few that have graduated high school, like half of them haven't even done that.
My graduation party the next day, I was given my gifts and then ignored most of the rest of the time. I was there for about 6~7 hours, and relevant for about 15 minutes. My college acceptance letter was opened and read by my parents before I even woke up. In fact, they woke me up by yelling at me from the kitchen to get in there. I walk in there, they're at the table smiling like idiots that just won the Nobel prize, and they hand me an open letter and tell me to read.
And my birthdays result in me being relevant for ten minutes of the hour at the pizza hut, and most of that is being asked about school and grades. The rest of the time is my parents and grandparents bitching about my drug addict unfit parent cousins. Like, my birthday is supposed to be about me, not them. And I am more than just school and grades, you would not believe how long it took me to realize that.
I have one bit of advice for anyone that might need it. Live your life for yourself for your reasons and never let somebody else live through you.

Getting it out there
I have no idea what to write. I have so many plans and hobbies I want to become good at but its like im chained down with ankle weights. I want to become a writer, I also have a strong passion for art. But in the age of 18 I haven't been drawing as much as I should have so I could actually come as far as to how long I have been drawing. I have also written since I knew my letters. I think its awkward to write in my own language so I stick to English but my vocabulary is unbelievably weak and I try to read books in English but I can't focus on the sentences. I have that problem even if i'm reading Norwegian texts. Its hard. I know I just have to get up and write. For hours. Thats why im sitting here now. I fall in love with what others write and spends hours researching what others have to say about it when i could've used that time to improve myself.
I'm really scared to go out there where they are. I don't even have that much real life friends so how im i gonna make it in the internet? I don't understand anything. My dreams are so big and strong but i just walk on time. I have a lot of it. I'm in my younger years there is no rush. But then suddenly im older. Everything moves to fast and i'm not noticing it. I had the exact same thought four years ago and i still havent done anything. It's sad. I can sit in my bed. Have my laptop open and reading all these wonderful tips and looks at peoples book collections and art and I look up and see the dim light surrounding my desk. It's the perfect time to write, draw or play the piano. But i cant get up to do it. My bookshelf standing there with all my book waiting for me to pick one up and open it. And i don't. What's the point of reading if you can't even catch the words? Suddenly I am three pages in front when I realize I haven't paid attention at all. I try to go back and re-read it but it won't stick. Frustration and anger fills me. “why can't I do what i love so much?” At least what I loved. Now it's just a dark spiral of me standing there with all these directions and nowhere to go.
Still I think this is much better written than the other biography-character thing i tried. This is coming straight from my heart. It pains me that i'm like this. I want to start a small bookstore since no one of the other stores where you can leave your stuff in my area takes in old books anymore. I want to become a great pianist. Not necessarily for the stage but for the joy. The family parties and quiet moments for myself. I want to become an artist. Let others enjoy the pictures I create with my mind and some paper. I want to become a writer to show people my world and thoughts.
All the pressure about school and people telling me what i can't or shouldn't do doesn't help much. But luckily i'm not the one to lose hope. I want to do everything that i want. I'm ready to work for it. But i'm so unbelievably scared. I know I have people around me. That supports me. This is big and important to me. But i don't have any connections. I have no one to ask questions. I'm not the person to ask just freely on the net, even anonymously. I have no idea what i'm doing. I went to a lovely piano school where i learned a whole lot, but had to quit since we didn't have the money for it. Now my keyboard stands in my room collecting dust since i no longer know what I can do. I have tried apps and searched online but it's really hard to keep it up. I got myself a cheap iPad from my birthday money, and its great but i have lost all energy and motivation to pick it up and use it.
I have used a lot of money on my hobbies. Money that's just burning up because I can't control my will. One day that iPad is gonna break. No surprise but then, what did I use it for? Following my dream and doing what I intended in the first place or letting it sit on my desk untouched or just used for looking at the things I wanted to create. What about all the art supplies and pens i have gotten myself saying “this will do the trick” even if i know that it won't. Only I can do the trick only that i don't know how to manage it yet. Even if I do.. I don't really know what's holding me back. I know that if i fuck up. I can delete my account and start over as somebody else. Its easy but still my mark will be set, but even then they may not be able to find me. I know people can easily find me with some posts and a deleted account if they really wanted to. People have done things like that for less of a reason. I guess i just want to become part of something. I try several different things to see where I fit in. All I have ever wanted most in my life is a gang i can call my own. Not that im the boss but just that feeling of being part of something. I have never truly been together like that with anything. I have had friends but never many. Just one close friend at the time and their friends. I got further inn. I was just there because of my one connection to the group. I could call some of them friends but we never hung out together alone. I hate that. I want to be in a group where I can feel close to everyone. I'm really shy and anxious, especially on the net and over messages, but i have worked really hard for this.
I don't know how it got to my personal life but.. That's how writing just straight from your heart is. You never know how its gonna end. I could take this to a nun in some kind of mountain if I wanted to. That's one thing i love about writing. It can take you anywhere, and you don't need to go anywhere. Even better: I can take whoever reads this to my paradise. I can take you to a distant world that is my mind, just with some movements of my hand. I can tell you about a waterfall hidden behind a wall in the mountain and you`ll stand there with me with your own colors and and pictures. You and I cooperate to make one picture. I describe the scene and with your mind you fill in the lines and color the whole thing in whatever you want. I love that. I can help hundreds or maybe thousand create a scene in their head with my words and your minds. I like the sound of that. I know i'm not alone in this, and after sitting here, just spewing out words from inside of myself for the last 45 minutes I have realized that I can't write anything without help. Without people to read my stories there will be no picture. Just some small lines without color or pencil streaks. I know that even if that wasn't the case i still need you to read it, but something about that way of thinking can really boosts someones mind. Of Course I always have a picture of what my lines look like, but that's not the most interesting. I can sit here and speculate for hours of what that picture may look like and you can read that line once and have a clear picture of what it looks like.
I wish i could read better. I haven't manage to color anyones lines for a long time. Even of i keep buying books and hoping that one day I get to read them.It's quite silly and stupid really. I feel weak that I can't pick up anything that I love and continue to work my way up to love it more. I have gotten myself up to school and jobs that i hate when I just want to give it all to stay home and do what really calls my heart but then i get the chance and I don't take it. If i don't start now i may never get it either.
I don't know if I want to post this. I feel weak and ashamed of myself for not doing all the things I should have, but on the other hand maybe someone needs this. They can use my low point to get just a tiny step closer to their high points. It's a quite long post, but if someone actually reads it and find it helpful it will be more than enough for me. I just wrote this to get it out of my system really. It will maybe benefit us both. I have touched a lot of themes and parts of my life and thoughts so I think I will end it here. I feel drained in a good way. I haven't written anything like this in a long time and it was good to finally get it out.

Everest Base Camp - A noob's journey
Day 1:
I am sitting on the floor at the chaotic domestic airport at Kathmandu, Nepal. March 4th 2017 was the day I decided to trek to the Everest Base Camp. In hindsight, I have no clue why I decided to do this arduous activity. I am fortunate to have met Jamling Norgay (son of the great Tenzing Norgay) a few times. Jamling motivated me to do this trek when I last met him on March 4th.
Before I say anything further, its best you know that I havent done any form of writing (expect emails!) in a long long time. If memory serves right, the last time I wrote more than a paragraph was during my B school days. So, it will be ideal if you set low standards of writing from this blog!
Also, pardon me if I keep going back to events before I started this trek once in a while. I do not know how tough this trek is going to be, but the prelude to this trek has definitely been a real challenge (I am nursing an injured and severely abused lower back).
I had initially planned to do this trek alone. Maybe some sense prevailed later and here I am with my office buddy Manu, both embarking on something we don't know how well we are prepared for. We landed in Kathmandu yesterday around 3.30 pm. While the immigration is smooth, collecting your baggage is a looong wait. A short 15 minute drive brought us to our stay for the night - Hotel Thamel. A small and clean hotel, ideal for overnight stay. Our guide - Durga ji was waiting for us to complete our paperwork - permit, flight tickets to Lukla, coordinates of the guide at Lukla, his fees, etc. He also gave us 2 massive duffel bags to carry our luggage. Once done, we stepped out to get some essentials - local sim card with 10 GB data :), sleeping bags for rent, hiking sticks and a few knick-knacks.
Strongly recommend the food at Thamel House Restaurant (a short walk from our hotel). A sumptuous dinner and tasting authentic local cuisine - done. This part of the city doesnt seem very crowded. The locals seem very friendly and speak Hindi decently well.
Durga ji had given strict instructions that we could pack a maximum of 10 kilos each in our duffel bag which would be carried by our guide/porter. This turned out to be a serious challenge. Despite being extremely choosy about what we packed in our luggage, it was impossible to fit in all essentials within the given weight restriction. It took us a few visits to the hotel reception where the weighing scale was located and removing more gear (some really essential) to bring down the weight to 10 kilos. I am really worried about leaving out few critical peices of clothing - have left behind 2 warm tees, one thermal inner lining and a pair of hiking shorts. We ended up not carrying many other important things - the long range lens of my DSLR camera, the camera bag which now leaves the camera vulnerable to damages, sports shoes for post hike moving around, etc. Not to mention, we left behind most part of the chocolates, energy bars and snacks we were carrying to make our journey more bearable. This task left Manu and me really frustrated.
Before I continue, our flight has been delayed due to bad weather in Lukla. I had read about Lukla's unpredictable weather, but was hoping we would be lucky. The operator - Tara Air/Yeti Airlines says there is a possibility of cancelling all flights to Lukla today. Obviously, this is not great news, leaving us helpless. Praying to the weather gods to give us a half hour clear window to make it to Lukla today.
Update:
Unfortunately, our flight to Lukla got cancelled after multiple reschedules. The low hanging clouds at Lukla made it impossible for planes to land on the short landing strip. Frustrated, we left the departure zone back to the check-in counter and received tickets for next day flight departing at 12.30 pm. This wasn’t encouraging because the locals say that the best time to leave for Lukla is early morning, post which the place gets heavy cloud cover. We headed back to the hotel and checked in for another day. Manu decided to take a separate room not able to sleep owing to my snoring! (our guide had put us on twin sharing). 
With nothing much to do, we decided to take a stroll around the city. Unfortunately, the entire city was shut due to Dussehra festival and the place resembled a ghost town. Durga ji called us in the evening suggesting we take a helicopter to Lukla. This meant that our existing plane tickets would go waste. Manu and I pondered for a short while and decided to take the chopper. We didn’t want to risk losing another day because our return date to India was not flexible. We had to head out at 5.30 am for an early morning helicopter ride. Thankfully, we didn’t have any preparation to do since we were already packed and ready. Another Nepali cuisine dinner brought an end to the day. After having 3 meals of the local cuisine, I am convinced that their food is generally very pleasant, tasty, largely non spicy. 
Day 2:
We arrived at the airport by 6 am and Durga ji’s friend there whisked us past the long queues at entry, check in, etc and parked us at the office of a heli operator. After a short wait and some paperwork, we driven to a far corner of the airport where many helicopters were parked. Some more paperwork and few safety instructions, and we were taken to the chopper. Both of us were fairly excited since it was the first time for us in a helicopter. It was a great experience to get a bird’s eye view of the beautiful work of mother nature. Sitting next to the pilot, I got a crash course on how to fly a a helicopter. The pilot even allowed me to get a feel of the cyclic (the joystick which acts as the rudder). Good fun! We got a radio message saying Lukla had heavy cloud cover. We were forced to land little lower at Surke and after a wait for about half an hour, the clouds cleared enough for the heli to take us to Lukla. 
Our porter and guide - Phuri Sherpa was there to meet us. After pleasantries and a quick breakfast, we started on our trek from Lukla to our destination for the day - Phakding. The trek to Phakding is not the typical trek we expected. Phakding being at a lower elevation than Lukla, most of our trek was downhill. Barring few steep inclines, we kept going downhill most of our trek. Walking downhill is heavy on knees. Manu developed a small niggle in his left knee, hopefully he should be fine by tomorrow. The trek was extremely scenic with the river Dudh Koshi accompanying us all along. Couple of long steel bridges and buddhist temples make for some interesting sights. 
A 4 hour trek brought us to Phakding. Our guide recommended a guest house which overlooked the river. The rooms are tiny, basic but clean. We were tired after trudging along the rocky downhill path. 
Both of us decided to do some stretches to relax our muscles. I was particularly concerned about my back. The last 2 days before flying into Nepal were hectic owing to official travel and last minute packing. I had slept for a total of 4-5 hours over two days. While the rest of me was able to function fine, my lower back kept giving signals that it was tired. 
I should mention that I suffered from a slipped disc three years ago. This lower back injury brought most physical activities to a screeching halt. My motorcycle riding, weekend sports, gym, etc had to be put aside. While yoga, physiotherapy and adequate rest did improve the condition of my lower back for a while, I have been guilty of not being persistent in my efforts. From a guy who could squat 330 pounds to struggle to bend down to pick up a pencil, it has been a tough ride. To cut a long story short, it has been a miserable 3 years from a fitness point of view. People who have suffered from lower back injuries will know that the injury affects your mind as much as your body. 
Coming back, we walked around the village after another tasty Nepali lunch. It is a village of approximately 50 buildings, most of them being guest houses for trekkers like us. The people from Lukla onwards look very different from those in Kathmandu, People here resemble the Tibetians. The kids here are like extremely cute and are like mountain goats. You can see toddlers running on the rocky path faster than us. A siesta and bowl of garlic vegetable soup for supper brings our day to an early end. Manu is keen to have a long sleep and is not impressed with me going typity-type on my laptop. Will try to add few photos here and call it a night.

Entry 21: 03.23.20 @ 1:19 p.m.
I’m home sitting in my green arm chair with my laptop on-top of my barstools. 
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written. My last entry was July 25th, 2019. I would have wrote sooner but I changed my number in January and havent been able to get into my last account because tumblr support has done a poor job of helping me smh. Anyway, I need to catch up on a lot that is going on and whats happened since last summer. 
The last thing I worte about was my ex and the emotional, re-telling of an abusive, horrible relationship with an ex before him. I lost access to what I had wrote but I am not in need of writing it out anymore. I do want to do it one day to use as a tool for other women but I have moved passed it :) As for my most recent ex, he is still out of my life and I changed my number so that he and his family could no-longer contact me. My number was changed the first week of January which was the start of an insane journey for me. 
As you know, I was working for P.F. Chang’s with a nightmare boss and extremely stressed and depressed about it. There were nights where she would treat me so badly that I would dream about it, lose sleep and find it hard to concentrate the next day. It was awful and around October I started looking for another job. I went for interviews and didnt get hired by another company until november but I didnt go for the training because they were extremely unorganized. To this day, I still get emails from that company about their health plan which means they still havent taken me out of their system. Then one of my coworkers told me that she worked for BWW and makes really good money, more than we were making at PFC’s. I applied but at a closer location and got hired. I didn’t tell my job that I was leaving, I just worked until I had to go for training and then left. The morning of my training, I went immediately to change my number and also bought a new phone because my last one wasnt working properly. It was so liberating to know that I never had to go back to that hell hole again and that they couldnt harrass me when they found out I quit. I was getting rid of my old job, ex’s and all negative people that had access to me. It was a fresh start. 
BWW turned out to be extrememly disappointing and I lost money instead of making money. I was there a month and the first three weeks of it, I wasnt on the floor or in the system because they were completely re-doing the whole onboarding process. The managers didnt know what they were doing and the district manager was away from work because his wife just had a baby. So, I was strung along until everything was figured out. Then I realized that they were only scheduleing everyone for four shifts a week! I was furious because, during the interview, the hiring manager told me that hours wouldnt be a problem. I ended up leaving and working for 54th Street. The hours were much better but still not enough money and they overscheduled to make sure they never had holes in the floor. Meaning, if someone were to call out at the last minute or not show up, it wouldnt hurt them because they forced someone to come in and wait around to fill the hole or be sent home. From a company standpoint, it’s smart but fuck that lol. I was wasting money on lyft just to be sent home sometimes. So I went job hunting again and ended up getting hired at J. Alexander’s which just so happened to be right next door to PFC’s. 
Currently, I am still employed at 54th street (sort of) and have one more day of training for J’s but the corona virus hit and I’ve been home for about four days now. 54th let us go and told us to file for unemployment and then we would be emailed when things are up-and-running again for rehirement. So, I’ve just been home waiting. Walmart and HEB arent taking anymore applications during this time and everything else is closed down. I’m a bit stressed and dont know what lies ahead for me. On-top of all that, this is my last month before my apartment contract is over and I didnt sign another lease because I hate it here. I am going to finish this update in a few more different posts just to break it up, talk about everything and give thoughts without have an extrememly long entry. Also, on a side note, I may be posting my 20 other entires and marking them as part of my old diary on here just to have. I’m so happy I kept copies on my computer!

Akitaru: "Yes." shinra: seems as good a place as any. fang-hua:.....ah! commander shinmon, you wanted to speak with me? Benimaru: "...What do you want?" fang-hua: o-o kabuki said you wanted to see me? Benimaru: "...Oh, yeah. Right. Um...Can you do my paperwork for me? I would, but I want to nap." fang-hua: *sweatdrop* al....right then? Benimaru: "...What? You wanted something out of that? I don't have candy or anything." fang-hua: no no, i'll do it, though you are the commander, and it wouldnt kill you to do a little work -_-; Benimaru: "...I didn't ask for my Brigade to be dragged into some large hierarchal structure bullshit, okay? If I'm running this show, it's in my own way, and that means delegating, and that means you take care of this paperwork, okay?" fang-hua:....*sighhhhs* very well, commander shinmon. Benimaru: "Thank you. And don't screw it up." fang-hua: ... (thinking: at least he didnt call me koha-) Honda: "Young Fang-Hua, your commander seems like an ass." fang-hua: well...... >_>;;; Honda: *head pat* "Tolerate him as best as you can. He is someone with poor social skills." fang-hua: i'll do my best sir.... yasunoki: *sweatdrop* Burns: "This meeting is concluded. I have work to return to. 1st Brigade, depart!" dia: *she nods* tamaki:......*stays behind oubi and glares at burns* Karim: (pats Shinra and Tamaki on their shoulders before following) -later- Iris: (sets out drinks) tamaki:......

We care about you..." tamaki:....thanks..... nozomi: *worried* Takehisa: (staring at his laptop, typing fervently--then slams the lid shut) maki: hmm? Takehisa: (notices) "S-Sorry...Was trying to find...a lead..." maki: ...... Takehisa: "Nothing...I don't get it. It's like he went into another dimension or something." maki: maybe try his phone again? Takehisa: *sighs* (opens his laptop, types) "I have tried to call his phone, track its GPS, but still nothing...I'll try again..." -elsewhere- Spirit: "Okay, Sachiko, that's the last light bulb. They have all been replaced with energy-friendly ones." sachiko: thanks so much for doing this, even though you didnt necessarily _need_ to. ^^; Spirit: "Hey, come on--just being environmentally friendly! Or...it could be because if it helps you and Izumi, it's important to me..." sachiko:...*sigh* i do appreciate the thought. so, thank you...want something to drink? Spirit: "Water would be good." -elsewhere- lin: *yaaaAAAAAAAAAAAwwwn* Akua: "Are you not awake yet?" lin: i am....just tired...... Akua: "Hmmm...Bad dreams?" lin: yeah, what tipped you off?

Akua: "Perhaps you need something before you go to bed. Maybe warm milk?" lin: maybe......*she calls in* hi shinodaaaaa~! how's emine holding up? Shinoda: "Well, since your Dokeshi condition is to serve, not very well. He's been asking for you--" lin: WELL PUT HIM ON THE PHONE THEN!! Shinoda: "..." *STATIC* Emine: "H-Hi?" lin: are you ok emine? have you been eating well? have you been doing your bad deeds? *she's very frantic* Emine: "No, no, yes." lin: at least you're fufilling your condition...i havent slept well last night, it might be from me missing you... Emine: -_-; "Or, that you are not fulfilling your condition. I have a suggestion for how you can do so." lin: *nods violently* what is it? Emine: "I have not dined well because Shinoda insists on a diet of only apples. Please intimidate him until he varies my meal menu." lin: will do that~ and i know juuuust who to ask~ -someplace in new york- ???: yes?.........ah! little linny, it's been a while...........hmm? oh him.......i'll see what i can do. Barista: (overhearing) "???" ???: right.....i'll get ready soon....see ya~....yes, i'll take some of the coldest ice cream you have in stock. Barista: (nods, smiles) "Right away!" ???: and for the drink, cold water with extra ice. Barista: (nods) "Okay. Oh!

Emine: "..." grunt:....*shrug* Shinoda: "N-Never again...J-Just bring me apples--lots of them!" (glances at Emine) "And whatever the master wants for dinner! And a lot of it!" Emine: "..." (small smile) "I would like something with meat. Lots of it." grunt: um....yes sir... (thinking: weirdos....) Shinoda: "That phone call...Those images...I-I didn't--J-Just..." (shudders) Emine: ("I see I am not the only one who does bad deeds...") -back at the apartment- lin: hehehehehe~ Akua: "...Why are you giggling like a madman?" lin: i maaay have gotten in touch with my inner emine~ and in this chess match of life, the white queen has made her move, or rather the white, brown, and pink. Akua: "...Is this some sort of a racial thing?" lin: no! dont be rude! *chop!* but tell me, have you heard of someone named 'Nea Polito'? Akua: "Owie!" (rubs their head) "No..." lin: she's another dokeshi who is able to withstand extreme temperatures, but her condition is that she has to eat cold things to prevent overheating... Akua: "...Okay?" ("I'll make a mental note of that for later...") lin: long story shooooort~....she's shinoda's ex-girlfriend~ Akua: "...You are evil." lin: hehehehehehe~ Akua: "So, that means you served Emine by scaring the Bejeesus out of Shinoda, thereby completing your Dokeshi condition?" lin: thaaat's right~! Akua: "And how does Emine repay you?" lin: ............. .////////////////////////////////. *nosebleed+faints* Akua: (catches her, smirks..."Then you'll enjoy that dream charm I drew in blood under your bed...at least, until it turns into a nightmare charm...") -elsewhere- Patty: *PEEEEEEK* shiori: ???

Akitaru: (nods) "The Brigades certainly attract a lot of different people..." -elsewhere- scarlet: *watching the same tv program and scowling* ???: *puffing on a cigarette* scarlet: *turns off the tv* ungrateful bastard.....mind lending a cig? ???: *hands one to her* scarlet: thanks... *She lights it and takes a long drag* ???: "Why does she get under your skin?" scarlet: it's not just that overly privileged 2nd born, it's that whole f*cking family... bartender: but arent you- scarlet: *aims at them* .... bartender:...nevermind... ???: "Hmmm...Maybe you should send a message to that family..." scarlet:...i'll consider the offer..... ???: "..."

Kid: (he is gripping the ceiling, like a cat) "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" kirika: i got bored... *shrugs* Kid: "Hmph..." (lets go and lands perfectly on his feet) "Then get a better hobby..."' kirika:....you're boring. Kid: "I am stable, orderly, and professional--all traits that a mature person should have." kirika: jeeez you're such a stick in the mud. Kid: "I am not! I have fun! I do fun...things!" kirika: you are like, a total wet blanket. and i mean wetter then your sheets after you and stocking do your usual thing. Kid: o\\\\o "Have you no shame?!" kirika: *whistling* Kid: "Hmph. Go back to making googly eyes with your boyfriend, Gopher..." kirika: SHUTUPYOUTHATSNOTHOWITIS!! Kid: (smirks) "So, you don't fantasize about him in your bed?" kirika: *claws out* wanna try dying once? Kid: "..." *Death Taijutsu Stance* "Not happening." kirika: BRING IT BIATCH! *Kid has disappeared from Kirika's sight* kirika: nyeh? Kid: *behind her, kicks under her legs* "Too slow..." kirika: !!!!! *jumps up and grabs the wall* oh that was a shit move! Kid: "For a shit opponent--" (blocks and tries to clutch her ankle) kirika: !!!! Kid: (grasps her ankle and swings her around) kirika: *kicking at his hand* Kid: "Ah!" (he pulls back his hand, letting go of her--and sending her flying away) kirika: *airtime spin and lands on her feet* -NICE LANDING- Kid: (leaps to perform aerial kick at her face) kirika: heh... *jumps up and rolls over him* -dual blade claw!- Kid: "!!! Crap!" *stabbed* "Aaaaah!" kirika: !!!! Kid: "ENOUGH!" (grabs her arm and swings her around) kirika: !!

(clutches his groin but still stands) stocking: *smirk* Kid: "Owie...That really hurt..." -later- stocking: *putting ice on his bruises* lord death: i'm a little disappointed in you two, beating each other up rather than talking it over... kirika: well soooorry for trying to get my dear big bro to lighten up a little.... Kid: *voice squeaking* "Perhaps if she was not such a crude, asocial, belligerent, foul-mouthed, self-centered, holier-than-thou hypocrite!" Yumi: (standing by Lord Death, arms crossed, looking ready to snap) kirika: yer talking, but all i hear is 'blah blah blah im a stupid idiot'. lord death: ok, settle down you two. Kid: "You talk but don't listen, Kirika, so maybe you deserve to have someone beat some sense into you!" Yumi: *practically glowing red with anger* kirika: maybe if _you_ didnt bore me half to death, i might give a rats ass on what you have to say lord death: ok, now just please calm- Kid: "Why, you kitty litter-breath knave!" kirika: half-baked emo! Kid: "Asymmetrical arse!" kirika: spoiled sh*twank! lord death: ......*shaking* Yumi: "EEEEEEEEEENOUGH!" *Gallows Mansion shakes, the roof flips up, over, and lands again* lord death: ...........what she said. kirika: *already defending herself.....she seems frightened* Kid: (hiding behind Stocking) stocking: *holding kid's hand* Yumi: "You are entering into adulthood, where you will have to deal with people with whom you don't agree! You don't get to simply punch your way out of disagreements! You do not get to beat up people whom you dislike! And you are family! And I am not about to accept seeing members of my family hurt each other ever again! Have I made myself clear?!" kirika:.......... Kid: "Y-Yes, Mother...I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Kirika." kirika:.............i'm going for a walk.... *she gets up and exits* Yumi: *shaking...starting to cry* "Kirika..." -at the park- kirika: *throwing rocks into the pond* ............. Gopher: (rising slowly out of the bushes behind her) kirika: gopher, i know you're there. Gopher: o\\\\\o "How could you tell?!" kirika: you stalk me so much it loses its appeal.....seriously if you wanted to talk to me, just be upfront and just say 'hi' like a normal person... Gopher: "..." (steps out of bushes, cringing and yelping as the branches brush against him, walks up to her, stands in front of her--leaves littered all over him...) "...Hi?" kirika:...heh....you got some leaves on you.....actually...i was kinda hoping to talk to you... Gopher: o\\\\\\o "R-Really?" kirika: *she pats the ground next to her* Gopher: "..." (stiff walking to the spot, then collapsed onto his behind next to her...brings his knees up to his chest) "O-Okay..." kirika:........*she seems bothered by something* Gopher: "...What's wrong?" kirika:...just having some trouble at home.... Gopher: "..." (looks at her face) "You're hurt! Someone hit you!" kirika: !!! oh... yeah...had another scuffle with kid....dad didnt do this.....at least not this one..... Gopher: "I-I'm sorry! Why would Kid hit you?! He's your brother!" -kirika explains what all happened- Gopher: "...I'm sorry...It sounds like things got heated between you two." kirika: heh, when _doesnt_ it? Gopher: "But why does it?" kirika: *she sighs* i just have a hard time fitting in, i guess... i mean, he was born into luxury, and i was born into the goddamn bottom of that scale... Gopher: "So you end up punching the crap out of each other?" kirika: well, i guess the reason i get as violent as i do is cause i grew up in a pretty shitty household as a kid...my birth father....he was the absolute worst.... Gopher: (nods silently) kirika: see this bruise? this is nothing compared to the beatings i got back then.....and i'd run away again and again, obviously, till he finally got run down by some random-ass driver... Gopher: "..." (hugs his knees together) "Do you think about your father when you argue with your current family?" kirika: .......sometimes...but dad....lord death that is....he never once struck me. the worst he ever did was a tiny chop to the head... Gopher: "Not enough like the massive Reaper Chops he does on Mr. Albarn?" kirika: *she chuckles* i think he knows about what i went through...reaper stuff i guess.... anyway, after my birth father kicked the bucket, i was pretty much on my own...then they happened..... Gopher: *shivers a bit, remembering Asura* kirika: *small smile* the mikuni family. Gopher: "O-Oh?" kirika: surprise, but lord death and his family arent the first time i was taken in. i was around 8-9 years old when they took me into foster care. the daughter, oriko, she was a little older than i was, but she was just like a sister to me. Gopher: "...She was kind to you?" kirika: *she smiles* it was the happiest time of my life....that is until mr mikuni embezzled money from the motherfucking yakuza which resulted in him and his wife dead and oriko pretty much comatose for all i know... Gopher: "...I'm sorry..." kirika:....you didnt do anything wrong.....after that, i just left.....found my way to death city, eventually found you....and here we are now.....it's just been hard for me to get close to others because of what happened......you want to know something?....i'm fucking scared, ok? Gopher: "..." (nods) kirika: *trembling* i'm scared that if i get close to people....im going to lose them and end up alone again....i dont want to go through that pain....*tearing up* Gopher: (hugs her) "You won't be alone..." kirika:......*whimpering* i'm pretty damn pathetic, huh? talking shit and acting tough, when i'm just a scared little kid trying to survive? guess i'm not as cool as you thought i was, huh? Gopher: (holds her) "...I think you're pretty tough...But you know what makes someone really tough?" kirika: ??? Gopher: "Knowing when to ask for help..." kirika: ...... 7////7; thanks for listening to my rambling, i guess.... Gopher: (nods) "Whenever you need to talk...I'm here. And so is your family." kirika:....i didnt even tell them about this....i told you cause i-...... *blush* i feel comfortable talking to you, i guess..... Gopher: o\\\\o "Um...I'm happy to help...Th-Thank you for tr-trusting me..." kirika:....*smiles* its getting late, we should head home. i heard late at night, the lake's ghost pulls people under and drowns them. Gopher: ._______. "What?" kirika: haha, just kidding...but we should head back... see you tomorrow? Gopher: "O-Okay...Yeah! Sure! Um...Do you want--need--um, want me to walk you home?" kirika: i could ask the same for you, haha. Gopher: (pout) "Either would be helpful, I'm sure..." -later- Yumi: (fretting, tossing empty box of tissues into the garbage can) kirika: i'm home! Yumi: (wipes her face, stands, assumes professional demeanor as she marches into the foyer...) kirika:...hey mom... Yumi: *bear hug* kirika: !!.....*hug* Yumi: "Please don't run away from your home, Kirika." *sniff* "Don't leave us." kirika: i never said i was..... Yumi: "I know...but I was so scared that you would never come back..." kirika: i just, y'know, needed to cool down... Yumi: (pulls back, nods, wipes tears) "I want to give you your space...but we don't want to lose you..." -elsewhere- Shinoda: "YOU CALL THIS A POLISHED APPLE?!" grunt: i'm sorry sir! i did my best- Shinoda: (seizes Grunt by the neck) "HOW ABOUT I POLISH THE SKIN OFF YOUR BODY?!" saori: mr shinoda? there's a lady here who has a meeting with you. Shinoda: "I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF REPRIMANDING THE HIRED HELP AND--" o_____o "What kind of 'lady'?" saori: she seems pretty well dressed and insistent on speaking with you. so much she's on her way up right now. Shinoda: o______________o (tosses the Grunt and dashes--then trips) "Damn it! I didn't eat my apple! Quick, give me an apple before she--" -SLAM- Shinoda: "...Oh no..." nea: shinoda~! so good to see you.... *her tone is _very_ passive aggressive* Shinoda: "..." *SCREAM* *crawls along the floor, trying to run away* nea: i thought you'd be a little happier to see me? *pouty face* or are you just going to run off to some random skank like LAST TIME?! Shinoda: "...It wasn't my fault! An old friend came in from out of town! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!" Emine: "...Someone call me?" nea: hey emine. *waves* Emine: "...Oh. Nea. Hello. Are you here to kill Shinoda? If so, I request you do not. I still need him. Most of him. You may break a few bones and take one of his kidneys if you wish." Shinoda: Q_Q nea: i'm just here to keep him in line~ Emine: "...Ah. He has been difficult with the hired Grunts. However, I will not tolerate sexual harassment or assault here." nea: i wasnt planning on it. Emine: "Very good, then. I'll leave you be." *exits* Shinoda: "DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!" nea: and shinoda, i'm keeping an eye on you mr, ok~? grunt: *to another grunt* he must have pissed her off something good. Shinoda: "...Very well..." *grabs an apple from the floor* "THEN I'LL JUST RIP YOUR EYES OUT!" *bites on apple, regains his speed, aims his fingers at her eyes...* -NUT-CRACK- Shinoda: *high-pitched whine* -one could almost hear ave maria play in the background- Shinoda: "My life has turned into Hell..." -elsewhere- Kid: "...I was an idiot." stocking: ........... Kid: *sigh* How do you apologize to someone when you screw up?" *tenses, smiles apologetically* "Not that I think you make mistakes or anything!" stocking: try making things up to them somehow? i guess just talking to them? Kid: (nods) "I hope I am more reasonable and patient...It's just...when she mocks me, or just sits there and doesn't reply, I get so angry." stocking: hmmm.... Kid: "...I'm not a patient person. I'm sorry." stocking:.....*she hugs him* Kid: *returns the hug* "I am going to have to eat so much crow." stocking:......what? Kid: "Old saying. It means admitting I was wrong." stocking: oh... hahaha... ^^; Kid: "???" stocking: *ahem* sorry. -elsewhere- Jacqueline: "How is work at the zoo?" kim: eventful. Jacqueline: "Oh? Good or bad?" kim: depends i guess. Jacqueline: "I don't understand. Are you doing okay at work, or is someone harassing you?" kim: i'm doing well, though my coworkers can be very...eccentric, i guess? Jacqueline: "Ah...Are they any more 'eccentric' than what we usually deal with at school?" kim: *shrug* -elsewhere- Shotaro: "So...I was wondering something, Chie..." chie: hmm?

Hibana: "Happy it could help! I thought people around here needed a little more trust in each other." miwa: yeah. it was also pretty good for the joints, haha. Hibana: "Yes, although now I'm a bit sore." (rubs her back) serina: the should be some ice packs in the firefly. Hibana: (nods) "Would you mind fetching some?" serina: right away. Hibana: (sits down) "How are things going in the other Brigades?" miwa: pretty decently with the 2nd and the 8th, no updates on the others yet... Hibana: "Hmmm...Burns is rather secretive..." miwa: and shinmon...he seems pretty set in his ways... Hibana: (glares) "I think Shinmon needs some sense slapped into him." miwa: yeah... no updates from the 4th or 6th currently......anything from the 3rd? Hibana: "..." (ﺧ益ﺨ) "No." miwa: ??? Hibana: "That doctor creeps me out...I don't trust him. Who wears that kind of mask all the time?" miwa: *shrug* maybe he just has a really ugly face, haha.....*ahem* Hibana: "It would match his personality." miwa: ^^; misora: maybe he's like, super handsome! *shiny eyes* miwa: *sweatdrop* Hibana: "...Oh, honey, no." misora: you never know~... and if he is, maybe his theoretical good looks rival beni’s!

Thank you." -at school- Kid: *blushing* "I don't know how to mend bridges with Kirika, and it is making me anxious." liz: just take it easy? Kid: (nods) "Okay...What do you and Patty do when you disagree?" liz: well, just try talking it out, see things from the other perspective? Kid: "I can try, although it's hard to know her perspective when she doesn't talk so directly..." liz: hmmm...... Patty: "Give it time, Kid. She talks. It's just usually through eye-rolls, sighs, and grunts." liz: and plenty of sarcastic remarks. Kid: "Hmm...I think I'll have to shut up and just listen to her." -class begins- Kid: (opens the book) "Which story are we reading?" liz: not sure... liz: 'beasts of the southern wild' i think....? Kid: "Hmm...Sounds familiar." stocking: i think there was a line about eating birthday cake on someone's grave? Kid: (looks a little downcast hearing that, starts reading...) -later, next class- Patty: "That was a really good story, although it had its sad parts..." *pokes Kid* "Maybe a message to send to you!" Kid: "..." (sad smile) stocking: looks like the teacher's here... Tezca: "Long time, no see! Who's ready to learn more about biology and animals in an up-close and personal way?" sayaka: is that a moose?! kim: *whispering* how he hasnt been fired is beyond anyone's guess. Tezca: "I am wearing my moose head because my bear head is out being cleaned!" *clears throat* "Now, then, I have received instructions from the Academy that I may no longer bring in animals larger than a small cage. Therefore, I decided to bring in small portable animals that cannot cause destruction of property, such as these rare Madagascar venomous scorpions!" (holds up an empty container) "...Wait, where did they go?" layla: AW HELL NO! *flees* NOT AGAIN! Patty: (holds up a scorpion by the tail) "I found one! Look at its little baby claws, Sis!" liz: PATTI NO! -later- Yumi: "All scorpions have been collected, and only four tables were overturned." *Chops Tezca on the head* yukari: i cannot believe you would be so irresponsible about this! did you forget the shaula gorgon incident years ago? do you realize how many students were triggered by your actions?? kirara: *sweatdrop* this is defiantly classic you... -___-; Tezca: "I'm sorry, okay?! I didn't know we need trigger warnings on the syllabus again!" kirara: *sigh* we'll handle this, miss amano. yukari: well you'd better! Tezca: "Everyone stop yelling! I still have a headache from students stepping on my head as they escaped the classroom." -at lunch- Kid: "..." (sits next to Kirika) kirika: .....ya? Kid: "..." (slides cat-shaped cookie to her) "This in no way makes up for my mistakes, but I will say 'I'm sorry' and do whatever is necessary and appropriate to have that apology actually mean something." kirika: oh, uh....thanks? i guess.... Kid: (nods) "You're welcome..." liz: sooo, any ideas for this years summer trip? Patty: "Antarctica!" liz: o-o; soul: california? Kid: "!!! Soul! Don't say that word! You know it--" *FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM, I'M LOOKING FOR HEAVEN--" Kid: "...Oh no..." soul:.......woah ok nevermind. *EXCALIBUR GOES BACK INTO HIS BOX* student: HE DESTROYED MY QUICHE!!! -ao plasters the box with multiple ofuda- Excalibur: (from inside his box) "It was destroyed already by poor preparation, a bad recipe, and dull cheese!" Kid: *sigh of relief* "Okay, so we have..._that state_. We also can try Florida, or somewhere abroad..." liz: maybe a roadtrip? Kid: *nods* "I think that would be pleasant. And getting to the beach would be enjoyable. I anticipate we could reach the Pacific coast more easily, unless we drive towards Texas and the Gulf." stocking: how about Louisiana? Kid: "Oooooh, good choice: music, food...desserts." liz: plus, the DWMA new Orleans branch is there... Kid: "So, that can be a helpful trip that combines work and pleasure." stocking: i'm all for it. soul: same here. Patty: "Okay!" Black Star: "Sounds good." -elsewhere- Shotaro: "Yummy...So good..." chie: i think this might just work. Yohei: "Tastes good." (has another bite of cake) "Mmm..." Shotaro: "Yeah, but I can taste the artificial coloring..." mana: really now? Shotaro: (nods) "I got really good tasty-buds from all the bones I have! And this artificial coloring is no good!" chie: ^^; Yohei: "We're not as refined as you, Shotaro--" Shotaro: (blows his nose on the napkin) Yohei: "...So, I think we're going with this cake..." chie: i think so too. Shotaro: *shrugs* "Your wedding..." -elsewhere- Ponera: "Moving on, we still have to finish our next task.

Ponera: "Good...Have you the files on their members?" grimoire: *he places his notes in front of her* seems a lot of voodoo practitioners are in that sect. Ponera: "Hmm...Any we can bring to our team?" grimoire: who knows. Ponera: "..." (devious smirk) "I am pleased with this work. Thank you all.

We do have another mission for her, although it should allow us to keep her here rather than sending her into the field." guard: oh? Judge: (slides phone to the Guard) "Let's see whether her charm magic is oral or not." guard: .......huh? Judge: "She's going to place some phone calls to targets, and we will see whether her voice can motivate them to do as we wish." guard: ah. Judge: "Give her the phone, the numbers, this script, and the dossier about the targets. And make sure she is calling the targets--ONLY THE TARGETS." guard: yes, ma'am!

It's not like I asked our parents to take him and Mana out for the day..." chie: oh? Yohei: (nods) "I think they're going to treat those kids like their own grandchildren--if Shotaro doesn't ask them dumb questions." chie: oh boy. Yohei: *shrugs* "How bad can it go? Given how your mom is, I think she'll help Mana keep Shotaro in line." -elsewhere- Shotaro: *his hair is on fire, his clothes are burnt, and he's holding a stack of comic books* "...This is actually typical for me, Mr. and Mrs. Yohei and Chie's parents." *his shoes then spontaneously catch on fire* mrs kagehime: ....... mr kagehime: *pulls out the fire extinguisher* Shotaro: "...I think I'll need some athlete's foot powder: my feet feel like they are on fire." mana: they _are_ on fire.

Watching online videos together? Are the boys up to something? Are they comparing their superpowers? Maybe doing something that would be interesting to watch? Is Stein going to kill Kid? Aren't Kid and Stocking cute together? Who else do you ship? I think Patty and Juggernaut look really cute together! Or Patty and Black Star! Or maybe Liz and Tsubaki? Does Liz already have a boyfriend, though? Doesn't her boyfriend kind of look like Soul? And what's Soul's deal? Is he--" tsuyu: *covers her mouth with her hand* breathe ochako. you're going to pass out Ochako: "..." (looks at Tsuyu, takes a deep breath through her nose, then nods) tsuyu: you ok?

You need to shower and dress already." Kid: "Eight more minutes, Stocking..." Stein: "I am not Stocking." Kid: o_O "..." (looks up at Stein, already dressed) Stein: "We got a long day of driving, I'm cranky, and you need to hurry up. Now." Kid: "Y-Yes, sir!" ("Stein is definitely not a morning person...") -and so, after everyone is packed up and ready to go- Patty: "That was a great night!

Stein: "...Can you keep a secret?" soul: i wont say a thing. actually i think i might repress it as soon as i hear it anyway, so lay it on me, doc. Stein: "..." (gestures for Soul to come closer as he explains) "Lord Death trusted me to bring something with me that has been a threat to Death City...So, he commanded I separate Spirit's head from his body and bring it to New Orleans, where it can be locked away, his ceaseless prattling no longer annoying the people around him..." soul: O________O;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Stein: "...Actually, I'm kidding. It's a relic Eibon handed me to lock away." soul: oh....i thought it was medical stuff.... Stein: *shrug* " 'A relic from Eibon' is the cover story I'm going with. Although, yeah, it's kind of medical in nature." soul: ah...i wont say anything then... Stein: *nods* "Good. Now, keep your classmate preoccupied so they aren't all obsessing about what I'm transporting." soul: can do, sir... ???: "AAAAHHH!" soul: ?!?! Black Star: *has a giant catfish he caught...that is now swallowing him* "HELP!" -and so- Ochako: "Almost done cooking the fish!" Black Star: "Yum~ Can't wait! Thanks, Ochako, Tsubaki!"

Izuku: "Really impressive, though, Tsubaki!" Ochako: *nods...although frowns at bit at Izuku's remark* -later, when the got back onto the road- Stein: "We'll be at Four Corners in two hours, then check into the lodge." Kid: *smiles at Stocking* Izuku: *pointing to sites with Ochako* soul: *texting blair* Black Star: *napping* Patty: *about to draw something onto Black Star's face...* liz: *whisper* draw a dick.

Q.Q Akitaru: *pats her shoulder* "Then you have to find a constructive way to manage that stress. Do you think talking with a counselor may help?" tamaki: i guess.... Akitaru: *nods* "I can go with you?" tamaki: i'd appreciate it.... nozomi: i'll go with her too, a-as her monitor... Akitaru: "Heh heh, good." *pats Nozomi's head* -elsewhere- Shotaro: "Is lunch almost ready, Mana?" mana: just about. mono: *pouts* this is impossible! Shotaro: "???

Tuhl: "Oh, I'm not getting it out of my system any time soon. This is going to be hilarious for months." -elsewhere- Black Star: "...So, we're just standing in all four states at the same time? That's it?" liz: *snapping pics* Patty: "So, if I stand in all four states, that means I can break the law in all four states! Which law should I break?!" liz: patti no. Patty: *pout* Kid: "The sky is beautiful here." stocking: *streeeeetch* Kid: *smiles at her* "Glad to be out of the bus and back outdoors?" stocking: yeah. the weather is amazing today. Kid: "Yes.

Then we get to Dallas the next day, then New Orleans the next night. So, about three more days." soul: ah. Patty: "Los Alamos? Where they did nuclear tests?" mina: which _might_ explain a lot.... i dunno. Patty: "Hmm..."

Ochako: *giggles, picks him up and takes him to the motel front desk* -nightfall- Kid: "Soooooo happy to have our own room!" stocking: yeah. *she smiles and hugs him* it's small, but i think we can make it work. Kid: *nods, hugs back* "Just one night. And I managed to make the room symmetrical. Mostly symmetrical. 88 percent symmetrical." stocking: *she smiles and kisses him* you're such an adorable little dork, you know that? Kid: *nuzzles* "I'm your little dork~ ...Not that little..." stocking: very well equipped too~ Kid: *smirks* "I hope so...and I hope I use it well..." *leans closer to her* stocking: *laying on her back* Kid: *kisses her cheek as he lays atop her* stocking: mmmm~ Kid: *kisses along her neck...then senses something* "Stocking, I think your phone is on silent, but that bright light is distra--" *turns...* "Um, that's not your phone..." stocking:...*she examines the phone* Kid: (looks to the window, gets out of bed) "Hmm...Light seems to be from outside..." stocking: ???? is some creep spying on us?

Izuku: "I feel dirty in ways I never have before..." *shudders, mumbling* Black Star: "...What the fuck just happened?" stocking: kid! are you ok? soul: .................... Kid: *nods, hugs her* "I was so scared! I felt my soul about to explode, and the alien was asymmetrical, smelly, gooey, and I'm in my boxers!" stocking: *she hugs him* i was worried you'd-..... Kid: *sniff* "I know...I'm sorry..." Black Star: "..." *tries shaking like a dog, but the goop stays on* *Sirens heard* mina: that....that doesnt sound good... Kid: "Mina, get Izuku and Black Star inside! Thank goodness that alien's mess just exploded right onto them and not the walls--" Izuku: "HOW WAS THAT A GOOD THING?!" Kid: "We'll speak to the authorities." mina: i can acid the stuff off, but i'll make sure it doesnt hurt you. Black Star: "Okay, sounds good..." *follows Mina inside* *Police officers climb up the stairs* Officer #1: "Sir, we heard reports of a strange beast and--...Sir, why are you in your boxers?"

These two give you any troubles?" mina: izuku did pretty well to be honest. Izuku: o\\\\\o Black Star: "It felt like what dogs go through when they get groomed...or when you get bubblegum stuck in your hair." Stein: "...Still, good work, Mina. I'm sure you are wide awake, but do try to get some sleep. We can file the report with Lord Death in the morning." -morning- Kid: "I'm sorry about last night, Stocking." stocking: it's fine...i'm just glad you're safe...

And at least our brigade keeps our soldiers well fed! (Barring cooking mishaps...)" tamaki: Q-Q shinra: at least the stove wasn’t destroyed completely.... Akitaru: "Although we'll now have to pay for repairs and renovations. And I know Tamaki doesn't have the money since she broke that arcade machine--" tamaki: *DEATH GLARE* Akitaru: o_O; Burns: "Hmph.

Sol Priest: "What do you know of this flame, the Adora Burst?" shinra: not much...... Sol Priest: "The Adora Burst is a pure flame, very rare among even third-generation users. It is said to be the first flame used by the Sun God to form this planet--the original flame." shinra:.......*shuddering slightly* tamaki: so it's like the grigori soul of fire then? Sol Priest: "Yes! An apt comparison!" *small laugh* "Only this flame is also externalized..." *gestures to the thermal power plant* "The same Adora Flame, the same first fire, is what powers this plant." shinra: seriously? nozomi: *writing things down* Sol Priest: *nods* "Which means that so long as you possess this pure flame, you are in danger." shinra: .....*shuddering* Giovanni: "If Kusakabe is in danger, I suggest increasing protection around him. Perhaps placing him into a new location..." shinra: ....... Hibana: "Except we should leave it to each Brigade to concentrate on what is most important. Each one's goal should be on pursuing the White Knights, not interfering in each other's business." Burns: ("Says the Commander who has been trying to bring Shinra into her group...and after Akitaru took Tamaki to his...") Akitaru: "With our increased troops, we will be able to provide the protection Shinra requires, your excellence."

After 5 Years Of Relying On Medication, I Can Finally Sleep
Its been a long time since Ive written anything. And while my intentions were to blog every fortnight, this post has been extremely tough to write. For once I found it quite difficult to articulate my feelings and experiences, because of the personal nature of what I’m about to tell you.
A few weeks ago, I found myself chatting to one of my new friends, who is also an amazing business coach and mentor. He asked me how things were going aside from business, how are you feeling, just in general?. I thought about it and said, did you know, this is the first time in five years that Ive been able to sleep without taking a pill?
Insomnia has been affecting my ability to sleep properly since late 2010. It was kicked off by a freak hockey ball to the head incident, which then transpired into mental health problems (thanks, brain). Around 1 in 3 people have or have had some degree of insomnia in their lives. For an unlucky few (like me) insomnia is/was chronic. If youre one of them and are reading this, know that its okay, there IS a way out.
Back in 2010 I got a wild smack to the forehead from a fast flying hockey ball, I was briefly knocked out and I opened my eyes not even realizing what had happened, but bizarrely, I was laughing! It wasnt until I felt the huge lump on my head that it suddenly hit me (hah, pun intended). Soon after this, I had developed intense trouble sleeping and experienced extreme headaches and photophobia.
In my traditional headstrong fashion I refused to go to the doctor, that was a bad decision. Months later things seemed to be getting worse in my head space. After seeing a bunch of specialists and getting an MRI and all that, it was concluded that I had Post Concussion Syndrome (a minor form of traumatic brain injury).
Because of this, my health took a drastic downward spiral. I was lethargic, had constant headaches, was depressed, irritated, and slightly delusional. The doctors prescribed me dozens of painkillers to cope. I was studying a BMA at the time, and working so I could afford to live out of home and life spun out of my control. The brain does crazy things when it experiences trauma, and for a long long time I was not myself.
I was enrolled in a national head injury study. They interviewed me about the events and my experiences, then they interviewed some of my friends and family. Every six months my reaction time and short-term memory were tested, as well as my mood and general quality of life. It took almost two years for me to get back to normal. I dont know why it was such a long time, perhaps some people are more susceptible to these kinds of things. A lot of people in my family battle with mental illnesses. But even when I was feeling better, I still had to rely on medication to sleep.
Luckily for me, my doctors had refused to give me traditional sleeping pills such as Zopiclone, because of their addictive qualities. That was fine by me, I never intended to be stuck taking pills before bed. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldnt survive without them. At first it was Amitriptyline, a drug in high doses used to treat depression, but I was on it for headaches and as a muscle relaxant.
Sometime after I finished my degree in late 2012, I changed doctors due to not having access to the medical center on campus. My new doctor tried to wean me off taking the medication, I was all in. But it just didnt work. I went back to him after slowly reducing my intake at his guidance and tried a few months without anything. In mid-2013 I had more responsibility with my job which added some stress, and without any pills before bed I was getting between 1 and 5 hours sleep a night. I got sick a lot, gained a lot of weight, my mood was unstable, and I was quickly becoming very unhappy.
So I went back to my doctor, I was attempting to tell him that I still havent been able to sleep but I sat there crying in his office because I was just so exhausted and frustrated. I just wanted sleep. He recommended putting me through a sleep study and to see a sleep therapist, but this wasnt subsidized and I wasnt financially able to pay for such expensive tests (startup wages, am I right?). So, I opted for the easier just for now option. We tried something new, Quetiapine, an antipsychotic drug which in high doses is used to treat people who are bipolar or schizophrenic. I didnt get a large dose, only small enough to help me sleep. But even then I woke up every morning with a drug hangover and it took me hours every day before I could feel completely awake.
I lived like this for a long time, always having to take a pill before bed. Sometimes that didnt even work. I vividly remember how I felt after a huge hike over NZs Tongariro Crossing and then the 2-hour drive home. I was so tired, so exhausted after that I could hardly eat. I was thinking surely, surely I am this tired I must be able to sleep. But then as soon as my head hit the pillow my mind became awake, overactive and as much as I tried, I couldnt settle it down. A few hours later I begrudgingly got up and gulped down that damn pill, desperate for the relief of sleep.
This is when I started researching sleeping techniques. Over the past year and a half I have tried everything; yoga, meditation, walks in the evening, less coffee, less sugar, evening protein, writing down to-do lists and thoughts in a journal beside my bed, sleep tea, calm tea, chamomile tea, peppermint tea, Chinese herbs, sleep drops, lavender under my pillow, hops under my pillow, sleep apps with meditation, hypnosis, screen dimmers, installing Flux on my computer, melatonin, no screens (mobile, TV, Computer) two hours before bed, non-fictional reading before bed, homeopathy just everything.
Sometimes it would help, Id feel sleepy, try to drift off, then all of a sudden my mind would wake, even though Id be so so physically tired. I didnt know it was possible to feel so exhausted and awake at the same time. So I would carry on using my little pills to sleep and feeling hungover in the morning. I hated it, I never truly felt awake in all that time. And if I ever went somewhere and forgot my pills Id always get restless nights with little or no sleep.
A lot of time went past, living like this. After deciding to leave Hamilton to travel, I ended up in Perth, Australia. By the time I got here my little box of magic sleeping pills from New Zealand had run out. I attempted fate once more and tried to cold turkey my way to sleep. It really wasnt working out for me. The smallest noise, a single thought, any slight disturbance would set me off and my mind would begin racing once more. No matter what I did, I just couldnt sleep. There is nothing worse or more hopeless than the feeling of wanting and needing sleep so badly but you just cant get there and you realize your own mind is the only barrier to falling asleep. I remember thinking, how hopeless am I that I cant even perform the simple human function of sleeping?.
The one good thing that came out of these few weeks was my deep inner search for a reason. I didnt feel like my head injury was the cause of not being able to sleep, it just seemed like some sort of instigator. Im not going to share the details, but what I realized was that I had become afraid of sleep, and everything else was just an excuse.
I ended up seeing a wonderful doctor here who prescribed me some medication to sleep again and referred me to a counselor who specialized in sleep therapy. I gladly took the medication and debated whether I was ready for a counselor. I wanted to overcome my insomnia on my own (I had only just started acknowledging that this is really what I had), but sometimes you cant do everything on your own, sometimes you need to accept that you need a bit of a helping hand. And this is what I did.
The first session with my counselor was amazing. She knew what had happened without me having to say much, she said it and I sat there and cried. I cried as years of pent up emotion and holding back just escaped from me and it was so relieving. Her theory was I had developed an unconscious fear of sleeping because I lose control over myself and have to give in to the environment around me. I didnt feel . Of course, I knew logically that I was safe, but there was a deep fear within me that I had never let go of, a blocked memory; trauma. It had nothing to do with my head injury, that was a catalyst, as well as some other events that happened between then and now.
And so started my road to recovery. I went to the counselor once a fortnight. We didnt just talk about sleeping, we talked about a lot and it was really nice. I finally found an app that helped ease me into the sleeping mind-frame, Pzizz. Every morning within half an hour of waking up I get at least an hour of exercise outside. If not, I try to sit in the sun for 20 minutes or be active in some other way. I dont drink coffee after 3pm and limit myself to two a day (on bad days). I dont have much processed sugar, I write to-do lists every day in my diary so I dont lie in bed and think about everything I have to remember to do tomorrow. My bedroom has become an area for sleep every time I watch something on my laptop in bed it affects the amount and quality of sleep I get, so Ive stopped doing that.
Routines are also very important I do the same thing before bed every night. I also try to stick to the same hours, but Im still learning to sleep so I havent been using an alarm, just trying to slowly get back into the right rhythm. Right now I usually fall asleep between 12am, wake up at about 6, then go back to sleep until 9 or 10. Its not the pattern I love, and I still have many days where some nights are better than others, but Im getting there, Im improving and Im not giving up.
My mood has become better, my skin clearer, Im no longer getting sick every few weeks and my focus levels are at an all-time high. I still have a lot of work to do, but for the first time in over four years I can sleep without medication, and it feels so damn good.
