day 3: unnecessarily complex fit
ii gotta be honest, they were originally gonna have two feet but then i couldn't figure out the perspective of their right one so i decided to just not draw it
Tumblr media
#im aware that its the 13th but i wanted to draw this prompt.. and im like real happy with how this turned out..#could not make myself do shadows because what the fuck are light sources even..#and and i made a silly brush specifically just to use for the texture in this because i thought it would be funny..#yeah and um dont ask the logic behind the color scheme.. i honestly dont think about that shit ever#i just pick colors and go with the flow. you will NOT catch me practicing color theory..#and um yeah..#oh once again i made the smallest things too detailed. so they stand out much more than they're supposed to..#the nose piercing i was able to dial back. but the choker just is like that. and it stands out way too much..#also really appriciate that the shorts look alright because i had no fucking clue what was going on there..#i put off figuring them out for so long that they only made sense once i put the texture on them. which was like one of the last things..#art#my art#cringetober 2023#um#digital art#oh and the background was a total accident.. i had filled the characters surroundings with white to make sure none of my notes and shit wer#visible. and id forgotten about it.. so then when i changed the background color. it basically looked like that already.#i just tweaked it a bit..#tbh im quite glad it happened so because ii struggle with balancing the background between too distracting and a void..#the colors are so fucked for everyone else probably because ive fucked with my monitors gamma levels a lot#basically overall saturation is supposed to be higher. and mainly the dark green is supposed to be a bit more blue-ish..

[ BITE. ] 
VAMPIRIC STARTER PROMPTS :  Accepting!!! 🎃
@s-talking
Tumblr media
Oh, this is... new!
Really, really, really new!
Homura wasn't quite sure what was going to happen when Envy decided to close the distance between them. She didn't intend on stopping him, but she would have at least liked to know what was going to happen. So, when he decided to bite her... She just froze up in pure confusion.
No yelp of pain nor the rise of a frightened scream escaped from her lips. Only a small gasp is heard. She stood still as her mind tried to figure out what was going through his mind. She faces him head on by waiting for the stinging pain of the bite to fade away. There were multiple reasons for her lack of fear— The logical reason is that he wasn't aiming for her soul that rested in her diamond-shaped gemstone.
Envy is gentle. Others might not notice that detail since they were, well, being bitten by him. But Homura noticed. She knew he could have bitten a lot harder, but he didn't. With this in mind, Homura realized that biting was only a means of getting access to her... blood? She isn't sure if she is right in her assumption on his desire for blood until he began to feed on her.
❝  Um, Envy...   ❞ She has a lot of questions right now, but part of her felt a bit guilty for interrupting his moment. However, she had to break the silence at some point. A part of her really wanted to ask why he was doing this so suddenly. But then another part of her wants to know if her blood tastes strange to him. Her body is closer to a walking corpse, especially since her soul no longer rests in her shell of a body, but she knows that she still bleeds.
❝  You... You could h-have just asked for it, Envy. I... I wouldn't mind sharing something if you needed it.   ❞ Sure, she would be quite alarmed if someone asked for her blood to drink... But if she trusted the person? She would be willing to share her blood in a heartbeat. In all honesty, Homura thinks she prefers this moment over her times at the hospital. She should be used to them, but nothing could erase her fear of needles.
It was a good thing she wasn't woozy at the sight of blood. Fainting at the sight of her own blood in front of Envy sounded embarrassing. It was nice that she got used to the sight of blood pretty quickly at an early age. Needles, however, still frightened her. She wouldn't faint at the sight of them, but she would certainly get more paler. It didn't matter what the syringes were used for since her fear still remained.
She always turned her head whenever a doctor or nurse brought one out.
Tumblr media
Homura realized that she will have to find something to cover her neck later, no matter how gentle Envy was on her flesh. She knew she will have a mark, but she is willing to bet she might have a bruise as well since her body still likes to bruise easily. Bandages wrapped around her neck would only draw concerned looks from anyone near her... That route meant having unwanted stares resting on her at all times, possibly some whispered rumors as well. What else could she do? She would need to figure out what to do eventually.
A couple of her sweaters could cover her neck, but she is limited right now. Would a choker look too weird on her? She isn't that familiar with the upcoming trends of fashion, so she isn't sure how a choker would look on her. Either way, she is a bit relieved that Envy isn't so messy right now. He steals any drop of blood before it could even think about streaming down her neck. She couldn't quite tell if he's just hungry or being considerate, but she appreciates the lack of bloodstains.
❝  Um... Let me know next time, okay?   ❞
She isn't sure how she could draw her blood for a next time without having to cross paths with drawing her blood with a needle... But she will figure it out. Who is she to judge if Envy needs blood when her soul needs to be cleansed? She doesn't judge one bit. Envy has not once judged her, after all. She only wished that she was more prepared for this whole scenario.

“Ah….I apologize for keeping you waiting, Chief Visconti. It took a while to get ready.”
It had taken some time (and courage) to finally prepare herself for today, given the large amount of reluctance she always felt towards leaving the safety of the Bureau. Not her own safety, of course, but everyone else’s. Even with these shackles that bound her and kept her tied to Julius, there would always be that looming fear that these flames would roar out of control again as they had before.
That aside…Their last…. ‘date’, hadn’t exactly been a good one, a fact that neither had fault in, nor could either have ever predicted an S-Rank Sinner would come to manifest at the gallery they had meant to visit in Eastside. It would be a lie to say that the incident in itself hadn’t deterred Tessa even further from wanting to leave the Bureau’s grounds, but given the nature of today: She had wanted to do something special for the holder of her shackles.
“Does this look alright? I…borrowed some clothing from Miss Lisa; I can change into my normal attire instead of this is inappropriate.”
Donning a simple cowl neck dress of brilliant red that stopped above her knees; She wore over it a long black cardigan with a few floral designs embroidered into its fabric, visible whenever they caught the light. Around her neck, there was a simple black velvet choker devoid of any designs, and yet charming nonetheless, adding contrast to her tinted cheeks.
“–Ah, before I forget…”
Bringing out a small box from her handbag, it’s not quite hand made–But it is a box of custom-ordered chocolates from one of the more expensive shops in the Eastside. Though being a Sinner makes things difficult, at the very least; Using connections to get a hold of caramel swirled white chocolates in the shape of hearts was still something that she was able to manage.
“Um…Happy Valentine’s Day, Chief Visconti.”
He was nervous as he never got a straight answer for a while. He let her think about it. For a few days after, he waited on a silent breath for her to agree. While holding it back he was experiencing minor stress.
It wasn't the fact that he was the Chief of the MBCC and she was a Sinner. He wasn't nervous that he would be rejected. It's rather natural at his point among all the Sinners he's interacted with. Nor was it the fear of rejection coming from her. It was the fear that something might happen again.
This time, Julius planned things in advance, hoping she would agree. Aiming to take a stroll through a different art gallery, he did full background checks on the artists and staff that he could. He wasn't going to allow a potential threat to ruin their evening together. Nor would he allow her to get hurt. He still remembers how she looked during the Night of Wonders. Battered and bruised, just like him. He remembers her worry and remembers that she was unconscious for some time upon their rescue. He also remembers the lecture he got from Nightingale, to which he apologized profusely while reassuring her.
Honey hues look her up and down as he turned from his desk. Dressed in a simple suit to match Eastside's normal attire, a tie nuzzled against his neck. His blazer and pants were navy blue with faint gold details that acted as borders; Underneath he wore a white shirt. Biting his tongue and trying not to go over--. No, those thoughts can wait. A soft smile comes to his face as he turns to face her.
Tumblr media
"You look beautiful, Tessa."
A brow raises as she goes for her handbag. Seeing the box once presented, he takes it.
"Thank you. You didn't have to do this."
Ah, there goes that idea. But she didn't get any for herself, did she? Then I suppose it's still on the list of things to do.
Keeping the box in one hand, he brings the other up to his lips. Then, he uses his teeth to hold the glove still as his hand slips out of it. Taking it from his lips and putting the leather inside of his pocket, eyes flicker to Tessa's face before returning to the box. Her reactions were always worth teasing her about, even indirectly. Seeing the chocolates, his smile softens more. One of the hearts is taken out of their paper holds and bitten into. The warmth of flavor and sweetness coats his mouth. Strangely enough, Julius is very silent, face unchanging.
Not until he’s done his bite, does his face warm in happiness.
"You knew what I liked. Did Hecate or Hella tell you? Or was it Nightingale? Thank you, Tessa. It's wonderful."
Closing the box, he sets it on his desk. His hand reaches out to take hers, bowing slightly like a gentleman should.
“I hope you can enjoy some with me later. Let’s go, my lady.“

~Puppet Strings~
Coraline X Linked Universe AU Story
Written By @writing-for-a-chain-of-heros and myself ✧(。•̀ᴗ-)✧
❗❕Next Friday on November 26 I will not update for I was be spending time with family and friends for Thanksgiving, the Friday of December 3 I will update! ❕❗
I wish you all who celebrate Thanksgiving an amazing time and my best wishes!
(If you wish for me to go more in detail with the warnings please tell me and I will add it!)
Pervious
~~~
The details carved into the ceiling seemed to hold every ounce of your attention, keeping you from sleeping. The day had passed like the blink of an eye, you don’t remember much. Only when WInd softly held your larger hand in his to guide you inside did you notice the sun had set long ago. The ticking of the grandfather clock echoed through the halls as you turned to look at the sleeping heroes. Many were cuddling with each other lost in the sea of blankets and comforters. You sighed as you stood up, making sure to step over the cuddling heroes. 
You began to walk through the endless halls again waiting for sleep to overcome you, though it seemed to be harder this time. Your mind was running miles which seemed to be endless, a raging river of thoughts turning into a storming sea. 
You raise your hands to your head and tug at your hair, then drop your hands back to your side. A sigh of defeat escaped your lips as you bit down on your bottom lip to hold your temptation to cry, to sob. To release the stress that has been controlling you this whole time. 
You feel like a puppet. 
A puppet whose strings are being toyed with every passing second. Tugged around being forced to perform for an unknown audience. Your wrists are sore from the invisible strings and slowly your every breath of air is being pulled out of you from the tightening string choker, suffocating you. 
You’re being played with. 
You’re being controlled. 
You’re being watched
“Thoughts plague you, my dear?” A shiver runs down your spine, turning around Mr.Jones is standing there, a smile on his face. Though it didn't reach his eyes. “Yes...I-I just...I dont know…” Mr.Jones raised his hand, “No need to explain, by the look on your face alone. I can see your thoughts have turned against you.” Your voice was stuck in your throat only with a small nod did it confirm Mr. Jones’s statement. “I see, well follow me child.”
Following behind him, he led you down to a large room, seeming to be a ballroom, doors surrounding the room, a small box in the center. “As you know my child this is no ordinary home, magic runs through its veins.” Picking up the box he opens it to reveal various keys. As he points to each door. “Every door leads to a hidden wonder this house holds, you never know what you can find. Though perhaps maybe they will find you.” With that, he leaves the box and exits the room.
Turning to the box you inspect each key until you find an...odd one among the rest. 
A black key, with a button. 
Grabbing the key you look it over, going to each door you try to open them. For the key to open none, “Damn, guess just try another one.”  
“What are you doing?” 
With a small yelp and jump, you turn to the entrance to see the chain, a smug Wild from causing you to jump. The sly prankster let out a laugh as he jogged over to you looking at the key in confusion, “What’s that?” Looking at the chain as they walked over, “Oh! Um- Mr.Jones had caught me wandering the halls since I couldn't sleep. He led me in here and said that each of these doors holds a wonder. I’ve got this key but it doesn't open any of them.” Raising a finger WInd points behind you. “Have you tried that one?” In confusion, you turn around.
A door stands tall and proud, pure black as the shadows it hides in.
Silver iron vines wrap around the outline of the door. Intricate details of sewing equipment are carved into the wood.
In the center is a large button, matching the key in your hand.
Has it always been there?
“Well-” Warrior makes his way next to you as he smiles, “-You gonna open it?” Looking at the group you are met with kind smiles and looks of excitement. They want to go through this door as much as you. Why not? What harm would come?
Walking over to the door, placing in the key, you turn it. Unlocking the door.
Why do you feel as if you awakened an evil force?
Why do you feel scared?
WHY DO YOU FEEL EYES ON YOU?
Taking in a breath opening the door, you witness as a tunnel of numerous glowing blues and purples reveals itself to you. Turning to the chain they nod as they walk behind you, one by one. You all walk through. 
Walking right into the spider’s web.

The Holy Quintet: The BEST DRESSED Magical Girl Team EVER. Part 2: Characters made of symbols and shapes.
Part 1 here.
Mami Tomoe
Tumblr media
Mami Tomoe’s outfit is a work of genius that really humbles me as an aspiring character designer. Watching the perfection in its simplicity only boggles my mind trying to reverse engineer the thought process behind it. Even if they already had decided on the huntress theme before they finished her, how did Ume Aoki came up with cutting the sleeves like that? Or with the perfect skirt shape that allows the corset to show all of her curves while puffing at just the right height to not make the hipline transition awkward and giving the shape of a flower? How long did it take her to find this particular color scheme? Did she immediately know where to put the purple to balance the outfit without feeling artificial? How did she realize that the stripes on the socks would add the ideal touch to the whole setup? Or the perfect way to turn the soulgem into a hair accessory? I would have gone the easy way and put it in the chest ribbon like the amateur I am! Did she have doubts about it while she was figuring out the exact design of the boots?!
This outfit does everything. It’s sexy without being unnecessarily tasteless, it’s girly and fancy but battle-ready, it even passes the silhouette test, it’s nuanced, almost realistic. Even Mami’s hairstyle, which in a lesser design would look too childish, is perfect for her. Mami’s whole theme is that she’s a little girl desperately trying to convince herself that she’s an adult. Her low drill-tails are doll-like, which is to say a little girl’s idea of what a fancy adult woman looks like. The side-swept bangs also give a youthful roundness to her face while being elegant, and the way the hat and hairpin complements the whole thing is just * cheff’s kiss *.
Kyouko Sakura
Tumblr media
Kyouko is a fire gal, and as such her shape is a triangle, so her outfit is a halter top coat that widens into the frilled overskirt. Her ponytail also feeds into this theme, with hair bits sticking wildly on the top like the fire sparks of a candle, and the ribbon is just scrappy but cute enough to compliment her personality. Haha, ponytail, get it? Like a horse? Or in her case a de-horned unicorn, ergo her spear. Her look also gives us the impression of an outlaw with her pirate/rider boots, long coat and gloves, fitting her lifestyle, and her soulgem is on her chest, indicating her more emotional nature. I think the boldest decision was to leave her hands ungloved, or at least I know I wouldn’t have done that, but that’s why I’m glad I wasn’t in Ume Aoki’s position when Madoka was in production. The white details on her undershirt and boots also put an elegant touch of complexity that completes the whole thing. What I’m trying to say here is that Kyoko has the ““easiest”” design of the other puellas, but it’s still top notch.
Sayaka Miki
Tumblr media
Sayaka’s outfit is a balancing act, trying to keep it’s knight aesthetic clear without relying on heavy armor to do so and thus allowing Sayaka’s more romantic, femenine side to show, not to mention her water + music/mermaid theme. Her whole getup is very ingenious. Her short hair allows the cape to flow without seeming excessive and heavy or an inconvenience, her hairpin prevents the cut from being bland, but still keeping a somewhat tomboyish look, and her skirt has a distinct asymmetrical cut that, with its white outline, gives the idea of a wave. Her boots are short, comfy, practical, and their shade is just different enough that they avoid the look from feeling kinda boring within its color pallet, without straying away from it. I’m honestly amazed at how well they pulled of her belly-button soulgem as well, especially without taking away from the knight theme, hell they even used that in their favor! That is ingenuity. It was also a genius idea to hold the cape on a choker to make it all fit better with a sweetheart neckline.
Homura Akemi
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As I mentioned before when I talked about Senjougahara, Homura is a rhombus, not just in her soul gem but in the rest of her body: she is pointy, slim, and long. She is the tallest and lankiest amongst the Holy Quintet, her outfit primarily highlighting her legs and her hair ending in jagged points. What impresses me the most about it is that the shirt is very weirdly cut for a concept as straightforward as “school uniform”, but it works. I can imagine a much easier version of it without the undersleeves or the collar. Speaking of which, the shape of them draws attention to her soul gem on her hand, which is placed there to symbolize how she’s the most “hands on” magical girl. Her time motif is present in her back ribbon, which looks like clock hands, same with Moemura’s braids, and in her shield, which is small and attached to her wrist and also is actually a sand clock. That shield is a really neat, concise, and smart way to tie up the entirety of her wish, huh? Speaking of Moemura, it’s really interesting to see the conflict between the two versions of this character in their differences. First we have the hair, of course, then the red glasses. I sense that there’s more to those than what I’m interpreting here, but the best I can do is conclude that aside that Homura tosses them out because they represent her weakness the fact that they’re red means they also represent her emotionality, which Madoka returns to her when she gives her her red ribbons (which also represent the string of fate, of course, and also confidence in oneself). But the part that interests me the most is her heels. Moemura doesn’t fit them, she trips on them constantly, but for Homura they are a symbol of her maturity and composure. Naturally, the first time we see Homura break down after narrowly killing Kyubey before they could do a contract with Madoka, she trips on them.
@leafbladie also pointed out to me that the reason it looks like a school uniform might be because school is the only place where she could make genuine human connections. 
Madoka Kaname
Tumblr media
Kyouko is a triangle, Homura is a rhombus, and Madoka is, fittingly, a Star, aka. a cluster of points shooting out from a center, which also blends well as a flower motif. Or to put it even more eloquently, she’s the flower from the ground that will eventually become the star in the sky. It’s in her skirt, gloves, socks and ponytails. And the rest of her? Is a deception in its simplicity. After all, this is what you expect from the leader of a magical girl team, right? Pink! Ribbons! Frills! Come on, you’ve seen this outfit before, it’s practically the same as Cure Peach’s! But Madoka is aiming for something more specific: she is both a fairy AND a witch, the two faces of the Magical Girl, creatures of fairytales often related to either nature or to the stars, and it works precisely because she uses that shape. Madoka is a balance of roundness and pointiness, it’s just that those points are softened by the pastel coloring. Her balance in ribbons and frills is excellent as well. I should probably write a separate post on how those 2 elements work in general, but suffice to say that we all know way too many magical girls that just put those things everywhere. Two on her ponytails to highlight them, one behind her neck, two on her hips to smooth the hipline transition, two behind her shoes. Huh, speaking of those, Madoka has surprisingly tall heels, right? Taller than Mami’s and only matched by Homura’s. Really tells you who the 2 most emotionally resilient members are in the team.
The last piece I’d like to highlight is her weapon, which I’m jealous of because I did that concept for an OC of mine and now if I do it everyone is going to think that I got it from her. But in any case, yeah combining a druidic staff into an also druidic bow whose arrows are also shooting star analogues is the perfect choice for this particular character, the Goddess of Magical Girls.
And this, everyone, has been my reasoning and analysis of the genius of the Holy Quintet’s character designs. Follow me if you want more magical girl outfit analysis.

Party Night - Sarah Reese x Reader - Chicago Med/One Chicago
Request: Request (feel free to combine this with others if you feel it fits) but Reese picks the reader up like fireman carry and the reader is squealing and squirming like "Sarah! Put me down! Your noodle arms are gonna drop me!" While Sarah is just laughing her head off
A grimace crossed the girl’s face as she stepped into the party atmosphere, giving Ava and Nat forced smiles as she passed them, only her goal on her mind.
Finding you in the crowd of Connor’s party.
April waved as Sarah walked by her, raising an eyebrow as she watched Sarah reject the offering from Connor of a drink, instead asking him something that had him pointing out past where a lot of Firehouse 51 were partying.
“Connor, what’s wrong with Sarah?” April called out over the music, grabbing Connor’s attention as he raised his voice over the tunes too.
“She’s trying to find Y/n!”
April nodded, watching as Will all but whisked Connor away. whilst Sarah headed towards the area Connor pointed out, trying to spot you through the bright dancing lights that lit up the darkness.
Sarah knew what you were wearing from the Instagram photo you’d posted. Fishnets and glowsticks included. She wasn’t going to tell you how red her face got at your post, ever. Glancing around the room there was no sign of you where Connor had said he’d last seen you.
“Hey, Sarah!” Noah waved her over, any attempts for her to dance with him failing as Sarah cut to the chase.
“Have you seen Y/n?”
“Y/n? Really? Um, I think they were outside by the pool getting some fresh air.” Noah explained, pointing towards the back doors that lead to said pool, the music quietening down slightly, but not much.
Sarah nodded, heading outside as she spotted Sylvie, Kim, and Hailey by the hot tub.
“Sarah? Hey, Sarah! We didn’t know you were coming; Y/n was whining about…” Kim covered Sylvie’s lips as she realised Sylvie on bubblegum vodka meant she was rather loose lipped.
“Have you seen Y/n? Feels like I’ve been searching this entire place for them.” Sarah let out a sigh, walking over to the three women.
“They went to request a song, then said they were going to get another drink, since they didn’t think you would come tonight.” Nat explained, smiling slightly as a song began to play over the speakers.
“Pretty sure that’s the song Y/n requested, so they’ve probably gone back to the bar… or kitchen, since this is a glorified house party for Connor’s birthday.” Nat elaborated as Sarah turned her head to listen to the lyrics in more detail.
🎵 “Lights are off, music is on, minds are unlocked, this feeling is amazing…” 🎵
Sarah cleared her throat, recalling the rest of the lyrics as her ears burned a fiery red.
“I’m going to go… find them…” Sarah stammered over her words, tongue twisting as she wondered why you had chosen that song, of all the songs you could have picked.
///
The lyrics were on repeat in Sarah’s mind as she walked through the house, heading towards where Kim had told her the kitchen was.
There you were.
Sat at the counter, sipping from a red solo cup. Glowsticks around your wrists, contrasting your fishnets nicely, along with the choker around your neck.
“I finally found you!” Sarah called out over the music, smiling widely as you turned to her.
“You’re here- whoah!” You yelped, slipping slightly before Sarah caught you, her arms around your waist as your hands went to her shoulders, the two of you staring at each other as the song continued to play.
🎵 “This feeling is amazing, hands on your waist, liquor is all we taste, your freckles lead the way, I trace the constellations, I trace the constellations…” 🎵
“How much have you had to drink?” Sarah asked over the music, her eyes flickering to the red solo cup that was previously yours and how you had stumbled slightly.
“That was Fanta. Last time I had anything alcoholic was two hours ago…” You explained, dumping out the cup in the sink as your other hand remained on Sarah’s shoulder, Sarah’s hands still on your hips as a mischievous smirk creeped onto her face.
“What are you smirking about- oh my god!” You yelled as Sarah picked you up, heading outside to where she had last seen Kim, Sylvie, and Nat.
“Sarah! Put me down! Your noodle arms are going to drop me! No, no, please not the pool!” You squealed, squirming slightly as you spotted the pool’s glow in the corner of your eye.
“I’m not dropping you in the pool, silly!” Sarah laughed, plopping you down on the empty sunbed as Kim, Sylvie and Nat laughed at the sight of the two of you.
“Surprised you didn’t carry them home.” Kim teased, knowing about your crush on the psychiatry resident as you pouted.
“You scared me.”
“I wouldn’t drop you in the pool, Y/n. It would ruin your outfit.” Sarah cooed, removing an eyelash from your cheek without a second thought, whilst your face went warm under Sarah’s touch.
“I thought you weren’t coming tonight.” You quietly admitted when Kim, Sylvie and Nat had left to go get more drinks.
“You were here. I saw your Instagram post. I came for you.” Sarah explained, her pinky finger brushing yours as the two of you sat on the sunbed, talking like nobody else was around.
“Do you want to go watch a movie at my place? It’s a lot quieter than this…” You asked, your nose crinkling up as you glanced around the chaos.
“That sounds nice, but do you think Connor will mind?”
“This party wasn’t even Connor’s idea; it was Will’s idea of a surprise party.” You elaborated, standing up and taking Sarah’s hand.
“Ava was my ride here, I’ll text her and say I’m leaving with you… you drove here, right?”
“Uh, yeah, it’s over here.” Sarah pointed out her car, the two of you walking over to it as Sarah entered in your address to the GPS.
Your soft smile was hidden in the darkness as Sarah focussed on driving in the dark to your place, whilst you watched her with your bottom lip between your teeth.
///
Ava: you left with Sarah? I require details!
Y/n: we watched a movie then both fell asleep on the couch?
Ava: wow, Y/n, just wow
Y/n: what? What am I missing here?
Ava rolled her eyes as she left you on read.
“Completely oblivious…”

Tokoyami x reader- Big city, small pond
Fluff + Nature took back the earth AU combined with fantasy AU
You didn't take a breath before sinking back down from the side of the moss overrun pavement into the flooded road, deepened after many years of abrasion and sinkholes popping open intermittently. Deep enough for anything to swim in at least, though clementine traffic cone's still floated and drain covers for manholes had rusted and chipped away at the side. Litter still filled the bottom of the sinkhole but had all seemed to collect in the deep abysses. Metal benches were still bolted to the floor but had new river weeds and algae wrapped around each section of the skeleton but it was a wonderful place for anything to sit.
Your gills split open on your neck and you walked the depths of the "river" the reflection of miraculously working street signs for takeaways that greedy humans reopened over and over no matter how many times mother nature reclaimed the earth. Your finger's brushed the scales of an orange carp darting past you and you kicked your leg's out, turning them to an iridescent (f/c) fishtail, ending and transforming to human at the hips, your skirt clung to the tail under the water and your flowy t-shirt billowed out when you moved sharply, turning a corner or halting quickly to watch something.
Your tail kicked up rocks and dust which swirled in the water and settled at the bottom again as sediment. You scoffed at a human dropping a paper wrapper into the water that turned too much and landed on the floor, a few balls of red and white paper landing on your arm then tumbling off.
You popped your head up feeling a lily pad drooping down over your hair and covering your right eye. "Hey!" you shouted but the human was on his knees looking into the water in annoyance "Excuse me! I don't appreciate your wrapper dissolving in my river!" you shouted and he lifted his head, ruby eyes fluttered to you pulling the lily pad off your head, flopping it back onto the water where it drifted further away.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to drop it, I was trying to find it now" he sighed in annoyance at the knowledge it was gone. He sat cross legged at the side and tilted his head looking at you. "Mermaid?" it was definitely supposed to be a question but it sounded more like a surprise than curiosity. You rolled your eyes and repeated his word in a mocking tone "oh mermaid? No. I'm not a mermaid, I'm a nymph obviously. How would you like it if i just assumed you were a crow!" you crossed your arms, your tail fins swishing back and forth impatiently. "I suppose I'd be most irritated" he scratched the back of his neck and hung his head.
You sighed swimming closer to the edge and rested your forearms on the kerb next to him. "It's whatever. Not like you city folk would know a difference anyway. Mother nature did all she could to reclaim the earth as hers and you still poison us with your plastic and oil and deforestation" you listed the minimum amount of things humans had done yet it was still enough for him to feel a guilty punch to the gut. "I'm sorry for what my species did to the earth" he spoke on behalf of a race that didn't care. The human race. But it was nice to hear an apology for once instead of someone claiming it wasn't their fault.
"My name is tokoyami fumikage" he held out his hand and you took it, the web's between your fingers stretching out slightly and you analyse him curiously "(y/n) macdonald." he nodded and smiled at you politely "You have a very nice tail" he said unsure how to continue your conversation, it wasn't like he could just ask you to get up and join him for a dinner and get to know you, though honestly he wasn't sure how nymphs worked, for all he know maybe you could? "Thank you. It's my favourite colour!" you grinned swishing it behind you and hopping on the edge on the path with all your strength.
You kicked your tail out and they transformed into legs dipping into the water and creating ripples around your calves and he stared amazed at your split appendages, skirt still hugging your thighs nicely and your t-shirt stuck to you like a puppy with abandonment issues.
"The difference by the way. This is the difference between mermaids and nymphs. Mermaids are usually really rude too" you explained, picking a string of riverweed from your leg and flinging it into the water to drift along the shore or sink to the bottom. He hummed in response since he couldn't agree or disagree, for now he would stay a neutral party unwilling to get on your bad side again. "I see. How did you end up here anyway aren't nymphs supposed to be out in like... rivers and lakes?" he queried and you sighed looking at the murky water sadly, missing the feel of your own river. "Uh, when mother nature decided to shift stuff around and the big tsunami flood thingy came it flooded my river and we all ended up somewhere different. Maybe it was on purpose but I ended up here" you swung your legs in the water tapping the stone ground with your fingers.
You missed the smell of earth surrounding your crystalline lake running off into smaller streams and your favourite river for finding pebbles in. you missed the fluffy flax seed that stuck to you when you were drying off in the long grass by the bank and that floated on top of the water for fish to pop up and suction down into their stomach. You missed your friends mostly, almost sisterly bonds between all of you now severed and spread across all of japan.
"I miss home really. For all I know my friends could be home waiting for me" you exhaled deeply and tokoyami sadly glanced at you wondering how far your legs could take you. "What if I helped you get home?" he asked and you jumped excitedly. "You would really help me! Don't you have school or friends or anything? Are you sure you can help?!" you blabbered for a minute or so about how inconvenient it would be and how you didn't know how far you would have to go until he stopped you. "My school is on break right now so I have about 2 months off before I need to go back. Most of my friends are going to look for a cause of the reclamation too since half our school is unusable since it started so I have no qualms helping you"
You jumped up and down giddy and dove back in the water splashing him with water that rolled off his feathers, soaking the choker on his neck and you apologised. "I'm just so excited to go home! Thank you so much!"
And so began your long journey to your home. You passed hundreds of abandoned buildings crumbling to nothing with vines twisted up the sides and supersized branches through the shattered windows, ivy had crawled up the walls of every structure you passed and you talked aimlessly along the way. "So mother nature is-" "a goddess inside the earth" tokoyami nodded at your explanation and looked around in understanding. One of her creations had destroyed the other, the necessary one, and she was proving that humans were expendable. "I'd be pissed too if my home was being filled with gross plastic." you giggled and smiled thankful that someone finally took you as sane, you were tired of truth seekers who didn't like the truth they gave them. They had too much blame on them so they went to find something else.
A month flew by quickly, you spent as much time swimming along streams that you could but of course not every path was filled with water, so it was a long journey for someone who wasn't used to walking barefoot on the actual ground for huge periods of time.
"What are your friends like?" Tokoyami asked, pushing a bish out the way for you to crouch through and you hummed, "caring. They care about a lot of things like climate change, obviously, but also silly stuff like um the best wood to carve you and your significant other's name in, or which leaves are the shiniest at golden hour. We have to make up fun little games or we'd just get bored" you smiled and he chuckled. They sounded similar to you, pointing out tiny details on your quest like spiderwebs covered in dew hidden in the grass, or perfectly round stone's that were shiny in the sun, it made sense you wanted to get back to them so badly.
The trees opened up to an empty circle of grass and a circle not much smaller of water, flowing over the sides of the bowl into the grass and streams wound along into their own segments of the forest. "Home... i'm home! I'm home i'm home i'm home!" you cried jumping up and down and sprinting into the gorgeous blue water and immediately your legs changed to your (f/c) tail, glowing in the sun as you floated on your back and soaked up the water. "Come in come in!!" you shouted while waving at tokoyami.
You had taken rest stops at old hotels and decrepit houses to check for water and of course food and sleep but there was enough civilization along the way to keep you going. But tokoyami hadn't had a bath, a real bath, one he didn't have to fill with a showerhead, in a month and god he wanted to relax desperately.
He peeled off his sticky t-shirt and hung it over a tree branch dipping into the water and relaxing immediately. "This is surprisingly warm" he muttered watching you splash around joyfully and sunk under the water. It was so clean he could keep his eyes open and watch you dip in and out of the water bouncing like a dolphin.
You swam over to him and he sat back up shaking the water out of his feathers and you smiled hugging him tightly "thank you for taking me here. I wish I could help you get back home but I don't think i'd make it back here myself. You sighed and he shook his head. "It's okay, I have other ways of getting home. I don't have to leave right now. I'll stay for another fortnight but then I probably have to go" he looked at his phone glad he had data and could contact hawks at the click of a button.
In 14 days that went by like rapids over rocks tokoyami had to say goodbye and hawks picked him up from your spot on the way back from a mission. 2 of your friends had also found their way home so you weren't lonely and tokoyami had promised to visit. "Okay and be safe home okay! I hope I see you soon!" you shouted as hawks lifted him into the air and he nodded in a silent agreement and waved.
"See you soon (y/n)!" he shouted back and you jumped in a wave as they disappeared into the bright blue sky reflected in your lake.
"Sooo..." one of your sisters sidled up next to you and you blushed "don't even! I know what you're going to say" you shoved her away and she laughed at you teasintly.
"Soo..." hawks started and tokoyami rolled his eye's "no hawks"

The Princess and The Imp
Lady Night might've banished a demon from her kingdom quite some time ago, but she has nothing against demons in general. In fact, she even hired one to work for her
He's the demon of janitorial negligence, and he takes his job very seriously
((I realize this doesn't give much insight to things, but I was dying to introduce him somehow, so here we are))
“Um, excuse me, Your Highness. You seem to have forgotten that I’m not like your other staff. Allow me to remind you again that I am a DEMON.” Nyx let out a sigh, unable to help the amused grin that tugged at the corners of her mouth, “An imp, Custodius. You’re an imp. I haven’t forgotten.” The imp made a face, his wide, yellow eyes narrowing in a mix of suspicion and petulance, “…Good, I’m glad.” He paused, letting out a deep sigh of his own as he tried to calm his nerves, “How can I help you, Highness? Have I missed something during my usual shift?” The skeleton shook her head, “No, no, it’s not that. The castle is as pristine as ever, I assure you. If anything, this is because I have a new assignment for you.”
The imp seemed to hesitate for a moment, “Ok?… How can I be of service to you?” Nyx offered him a piece of paper, waiting for him to accept it before she spoke, “From what I understand, you demons cannot touch anything that bears the sigil of another demon. If a person or item has a sigil on it, it acts as an indicator that a demon’s claimed whatever that sigil’s on as their property.” Custodius furrowed his brows, visibly confused as he glanced over the paper he’d been handed. Easily sensing his confusion, the princess hummed, “On that paper is an address. I need you to go there and place your sigil around the premises, just like I had you do with my castle. You may place your sigil there as many times as you’d like, and I’ll give you 2,500G for each of them. All I ask is that you do your best to make sure the area is secure. You’ll find the sigils of another demon already there, and you are to leave them be.”
Custodius was momentarily taken aback, his brows still furrowed as he tried to process what he was just told, “Wait, wait, wait. You’re paying me 2,500G for every sigil I place down? Do the people living at this address know already? I can’t do anything with my sigil unless a deal’s made or I receive their consent first.” Nyx nodded, producing another piece of paper. Carefully unfolding it, lines of fine print text were revealed, along with a single signature at the bottom that read, “Chimera.” Seeing the look of disbelief on the imp’s face, the skeleton tilted her head, “The consent has already been given. I went over the details with her already, and she knows what to expect.” Custodius blinked in surprise, realization slowly beginning to dawn on him, “That’s why you asked me to write up a contract the other day, wasn’t it?” Nyx offered him a small smile, accompanied by a sound in confirmation as she lifted a hand to ruffle the dark hair atop his head, “Of course.”
She was tempted to tug on one of his horns, but as she recalled the way she’d seen the imp just about lose his mind over one of her father’s staff doing just that, she decided against it. Custodius was all but glaring at her, his yellow eyes narrowed again, “…Highness. Again, I’m a demon. Please refrain from petting me like I’m some kind of dog.” Nyx arched a brow bone, humming again in consideration as she withdrew her hand, “Apologies. I’ll try to refrain from petting you, I suppose. That choker you’re wearing looks an awful lot like a collar to me though, so it’s not my fault that you remind me of a puppy.” His already scarlet face flushed a brighter shade of red and he scoffed, “You’re the one who made me wear it, Highness! I’d say it’s entirely your fault!” The princess feigned ignorance, “Oh, was it? I don’t recall such things.”
The imp felt one of his eyes twitch and he took a step back away from her, wanting to create some distance between them. It was odd that the princess was in such a good mood, and even if it was a little aggravating, it was better than that cold, emotionless stare she usually wore. With a very obvious look of reluctant acceptance, Custodius glanced away from her and made a sound in acknowledgment, “Fine, fine. I’ll do the job. I’ll wait for everyone to be in bed first before I actually do anything though, since I have no idea if she told anyone else that I’d be showing up.” Nyx nodded, seeming indifferent to his decision, “Alright. I don’t care what you do or how long it takes, just as long as the job gets done. There are some spirits in the house, all of which are benevolent in nature, and as of this moment, another demon is there as well. For your sake, Custodius, do not engage with him.” 
Custodius nodded back, giving a small bow, “Understood, Your Highness. I will place my sigil until the location is secure, and if I encounter this other demon, I will not engage in battle with him. If attacked, I’ll retreat immediately.” The princess seemed to relax a bit at his words, offering the imp another tiny smile, “Good. I’ll have a new batch of cleaning supplies, Cheetos, and onion dip ready for you when you return. Document the number of sigils you place, and the money will be waiting for you, as well.” Custodius offered her a slight smile in return, “Will do, Your Highness. I’ll be heading out now, I guess.” Remembering the envelope tucked into one of her sleeves, the princess gestured for him to wait a moment. Withdrawing the envelope, she offered it to the imp and cleared her throat, “Here. When you reach the house, please deliver this to Retribution.” He gingerly accepted it from her and made a sound in understanding, “Yes, Highness. I will.”

124. “You seem like a friendly face, mind if I sit with you?”
When I had walked into one of the many cafes in Shibuya for lunch, I had not expected the visit to be anything noteworthy. I was going to get something quick to eat and leave just as quickly. That is until I looked around the place. It’s never been a very crowded cafe, even at its busiest. It’s one of the hidden little gems Ann had shown me a few months ago that I’ve started frequenting somewhat regularly. But, at one of the tables closest to me, I see Ann herself sitting with someone. The other person, probably a friend of Ann’s, is unfamiliar to me. I decide to approach them, greeting them as I say, “Hello, Ann.”
Ann’s face lights up as she replies, “Oh, hey Goro!”
It’s days like these when I’m glad I have her as a friend. She was the first of Ren’s friends to accept me for who I am. Once she found out that I did, in fact, have a sweet tooth despite saying otherwise, she constantly dragged me with her to have whatever dessert she fancied that day. I’ve grown to genuinely enjoy her company. Even if I already know the answer, I ask, “What are you doing here?”
“We’re gonna get some cake! Can you believe she hasn’t had the cake here? If I had known you weren’t busy, I would’ve asked you to come too!”
“That’s all right.” I turn my head to look at the person Ann’s with. She has short black hair that fluffs out a bit. The rest of her face is obscured, her head turned as if to avoid making eye contact with me. Compared to Ann’s vibrant outfit, this girl’s is much more subdued. Even so, her long-sleeved gray top that exposes her shoulders and the black skirt seem to suit her, for some reason. I wonder why I haven’t met this girl until now. I look back to Ann as I remark, “I don’t think you’ve introduced me to your friend. What’s her name?”
“Ah! The name. Um...it’s Akira! Akira Kurusu.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet, Kurusu-san. You seem like a friendly face, mind if I sit with you?” The girl only shakes her head in response, not even looking up at me. Her reticent attitude gives me pause. I didn’t mean to offend her. “My apologies. Did I say something wrong?”
“No no! Sit down,” Ann says reassuringly. I sit down in a chair between the two girls as Ann stammers, trying to explain Akira’s behavior. “Uh, it’s just...that...she...she’s a huge fan of yours! Yeah. And we didn’t think we’d be seeing you.” She laughs awkwardly as she finishes, twirling a lock of hair in her fingers.
“Oh? I’m honored,” I reply, pulling out my typical TV-perfect smile that’s as fake as the personality it belongs to. Even if Ann knows that I’m very much unlike my detective prince facade, Akira likely doesn’t know that. I figure it’s best to keep up that pretense around her. “Most people seemed to forget my name after the Phantom Thieves incident ended. So, how do you two know each other?”
“I, uh, met her at one of my photoshoots! She’s wanted to be a model for a loooong time.”
“A model? I’m certain you’ll do well in the industry. You have the looks befitting a model.” Akira still doesn’t look at me, her gaze glued to her hands in her lap. Her nails are painted black, and I think I can see her blushing? Or perhaps it’s makeup. Either is possible, all things considered. She is rather flat-chested for a model, but there is nothing wrong with th-okay, why am I even noticing this? I really hope she didn’t catch me looking. After a few seconds of silence, I turn to Ann, who didn’t seem to notice my earlier gaze. My voice is hushed as I gently ask, “Are you sure she’s okay?”
“Yeah, she’s fine. She’s really shy at first.” Ann doesn’t seem too surprised at her friend’s behavior. Maybe it’s normal for Akira. Ann seems to remember something as she quickly adds, “But she does talk about you a lot!”
“Is that so?”
“Mhmm! I don’t think she’d be able to stop talking about you. She goes on and on about how great you are.”
The laugh I give, while mostly fake, is a somewhat genuine one. “Surely, you exaggerate.”
“Nope. We went to get crepes, and once she found out you were my friend, she talked about you the whole time.”
“I see. Well, a friend of Ann’s is a friend of mine,” I say, looking over at Akira. She’s still staring at her hands as she fiddles nervously with the chain attached to her skirt. Hold on, why am I still noticing these little details? That thought gets shoved aside. Right now, I need to find out what exactly is making Akira act so quiet around me. Is she perhaps intimidated due to my former popularity? If that’s what the problem is, I need to try and get her to open up to me somehow, get her to see that I’m not as unapproachable as she thinks. Well, not unapproachable due to being the detective prince, that is. I doubt someone like her would be comfortable around my true self. “It’s all right. You don’t have to be shy around me. You and Ann are probably much more popular than me.”
“Oh, don’t say that! You’re the second detective prince. Even she knew about you after being in Tokyo for only a couple of months.”
“You’re not from here?” Akira shakes her head, starting to play with the chain hanging off her black choker. I can’t see much of her face, but I think I see a smile starting to form. At least she seems to be more at ease, even if she hasn’t said a word thus far. “Are you enjoying Tokyo so far?” A nod this time. “How long have you lived here? Or are you just visiting?”
“She’s been here for about two years now,” Ann says for Akira. “Likes it so much better than home.”
“In that case, perhaps I know the area where you’re living? I’ve been to a lot of places in Tokyo.” As I finish my comment, Akira’s chest starts to heave. Is she...laughing? What a strange girl. It’s clear she’s trying to hold her laughter in as if she doesn’t want anyone to hear it. I don’t understand. What’s so funny about what I just said? “Kurusu-san? Are you all right?”
Akira finally looks up at me with brilliant gray eyes accentuated by a lot of makeup: eyeliner, pink eyeshadow, and even a little black heart under her left eye. Her gaze is sharp, and it feels like she’s staring right into my soul. It almost reminds me of- Wait a minute. I get a closer look at the person sitting next to me. I recognize those eyes. My own eyes narrow instantly as I drop the detective prince act entirely.
“You.”
“Akira” gives me a lopsided smile, their identity finally revealed to me. I know exactly who this person is. “Hi, Akeppi~” the “girl” who is none other than my boyfriend, Ren Amamiya, says before quickly kissing me. His lips, I notice, are covered with lipstick, and the blush I had noticed earlier was indeed a lot of makeup. Now that I know exactly who this is, I understand why I was so drawn to the mysterious person next to me. I allow myself to notice that he’s wearing black thigh highs over fishnet tights. Well, I suppose this being Ren explains the flat-chestedness observation from earlier. “Are you enjoying yourself, staring at me?”
My eyes dart up upon hearing his question, seeing the devious look in his eyes. Damn it, did he notice earlier then...? I groan, “Shut up. Just...explain. Now.”
“We didn’t mean to trick you!” Ann says, trying not to giggle now that the charade is done. “I just wanted to see if Ren could pass off as a girl, and he let me dress him up.”
“It must’ve worked if even Akeppi didn’t notice,” Ren says as he scoots his chair closer so that he can hug me. So much for that reserved personality from before. “You should’ve seen the look on your face when you realized it was me.”
“You are a menace,” I snap, trying to pry his arms off of me with no success.
“Yup! But I’m your menace.”
“Damn you both.”
Ann and Ren both laugh at that. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had been trying to hold it in during the entire conversation. How they made it so long without laughing, I have no idea. Despite how annoyed I am that I fell for their spur-of-the-moment prank, I can’t help but join in, chuckling under my breath. Their laughter is infectious. Well, at least they’re enjoying themselves.
“This was fun, Ann,” Ren comments after he’s had his fill of laughing at my expense. “We should do this again.”
“For sure!” she replies. “We could try another style and see how it looks.”
“Wait, I have an idea. You should do Akeppi next time,” Ren suggests, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
“Oh, that would be amazing!” Ann immediately looks at me, her excitement at the prospect all too obvious. “Can I? Please?”
“Not a chance,” I snap, refusing to entertain this latest scheme of theirs. “Ren may have agreed to it, but I’m not Ren.”
“Come on, please?” Ann looks at me, doe-eyed, pleading with me to allow her request. “At least let me do your hair and paint your nails.”
“Fine,” I groan. I can put up with that much, I suppose. They both grin simultaneously, sharing a quick glance. Something tells me I should be concerned about what they’re plotting, but I can deal with that later. “So, are you both actually planning on having cake, or was that as much a lie as Ren being a girl named Akira Kurusu?”
“Oh, yeah! That was true. Do you want some too, Goro?”
“I don’t think I’ll have much of a choice, considering someone probably won’t let go of me.” I pointedly look at Ren as I say this, who is still hugging me, might I add.
“No~” he hums as he tightens his hold, confirming that much for me.
“Well, in that case, I suppose I’ll have some cake. If it’s as delicious as it was last time, then I look forward to it.”
We talk for a while longer while eating cake, Ann having more than enough pieces for the both of us. How she can eat so many sweets with no problem, I have no idea. Eventually, we part ways with Ann, Ren holding onto me the entire way home like a cute, clingy girlfriend head-over-heels in love with me. That is a mental image I never thought I would apply to my own life. I can’t help but affectionately ruffle Ren’s hair, the action earning me a jubilant grin. I truly am blessed to have both Ren and Ann in my life.

Idk where i saw this but i need to write my own
MLQC Boys React - MC wearing their shirt/tshirt as a dress in public.
Note: have been dating for a while, like 6 months?
A little NSFW but not too bad x
Victor:
You had stayed over at his for the weekend and now it was Sunday and you had run out of clean none-casual clothes. And you had forgotten to pack any with you or go shopping because you had been very distracted all weekend. By victor without a shirt on wahhhhhh
You rummaged through his closet quickly. Boi was already at work he had a 6am meeting. You dont know how he has the energy to do that. You would literally die if someone said you have to be out of bed before 6am
He looked at his long fancy shirts and you had an idea. You grabbed the one that felt the nicest and that was not the boring grey shirts he usually had. It was a purple silk shirt and it came down to about your knees. MC is so small.
Little did you know that that was literally one of the most expensive shirts he owned...
NOT IN THE CAPACITY TO KNOW FANCY BRAND NAMES OK
You sinched it in at the waist with a belt you had worn over the weekend and put on some gold earrings and necklace. You finished the look with black tights and your black doc martens, PRAYING that no one at work would mind that you looked more SMART CASUAL than SMART.
You thought u looked hella cute in the mirror so u went to work at 9am.
You had forgotten you had a meeting with Victor at 11am.
he did a double take when you walked into the room.
He squinted at your “dress” and you could tell he was going through his memory bank of where he had seen it before.
“Is that... new?” He asked eyeing you every so often before glancing back down to your weekly report
“Uh... yeah relatively. Do u like it?” You asked innocently batting your eyes.
“Where’s it from?” He passed you back your report, forgetting to give any negative comments unusually. He thought you looked hella cute but he totally wasn’t going to tell u that.
“I-I can’t remember.” You blushed hiding behind the report a little.
He stood up and leaned against the front of his desk, now towering above you casually. “I thought you had enough clothes, without needing to borrow mind”
Ok. Now you were bright red.
“D-d-do you not like it?” You stammered and then flashed him a cheeky smile, “i can take it off and give it you back”.
Victor’s hear stopped momentarily before going “Dummy” and patting you gently on the head.
You walked out of his office 2 hours later feeling on top of the world. that’s not the only thing you were on top of
Mr CEO was surprisingly in a good mood for the rest of the day and even gave Goldman a small smile. GOLDMAN IS FREAKING OUT.
Lucien:
It had been a last minute decision sleepover... totally innocent absolutely nothing happened what are you talking about.
Lucien had already left for a lecture he was giving at the university. You had promised to meet up with him once he had finished his schedule.
Now you totally COULD simply go back to your apartment and pick out something you’d worn a few times and Lucien had seen you in. OR you could actually conduct an experiment of your own and make Lucien hella blushy - even if boi went a little red it would be a triumph in himself. BOI HAS A BETTER POKER FACE THAN VICTOR HOW
Being a little bit devious you decided to raid Lucien’s closet. BOI LIKES TO BE STYLISH
He has everything coordinated by colour and by season/activity. Jumpers go in the bottom right next to the winter coats and shirts were hung up towards the left for those “casual days”.
Boi doesnt own a tshirt, he only knows smart casual and smart. Loungewear? Sweatpants?? Boi has never heard of em
Most of his clothes were black and white with a tad bit of grey and brown in there but you found at the very back of the wardrobe a white shirt with pink butterflies patterned over it. Masculinity is so fragile, let the man wear pink. He can OWN it.
You decided to go for it and match it with thigh high suede wedges to give yourself a little extra height. You sinched it in with a simple black studded belt and added nude tights. You put your hair up into a “cute messy” bun and popped a pencil in to keep it in place. You paired it with a little black satchel and “natural” makeup with maybe a red lip tint? Lucien likes a red lip and you can’t tell me otherwise
It was about 2pm and you decided to head over to the university. A little spring in your step.
You knew his schedule by now so you knew he’d be in his office round about now. You checked the times 2:30pm. Half an hour before his next and final lecture.
You entered his office, you didnt need to knock anymore. He knew it was you. Students would always giggle LOUDLY outside his office before knocking. Mainly female students and you PRETENDED not to notice.
He could totally tell you noticed and were trying to hide it
You saw him tapping away on his computer, eyes lost in data.
You plopped your bag over the sofa and walked over to his desk. Kinda annoyed he hadn’t noticed you but also kinda excited because of the build up?
He had a light smile on his face, “Hello MC, i was expecting you a little lat-“ he glanced at your outfit. Boi actually halted his sentence. You were delighted.
You saw the tips of his ears turn pink. successs
he gulped and brought a hand up to his face as his eyes looked at your outfit in detail before looking you directly in the eye, a michevious look on his face, “i haven’t seen that shirt in a very long time. Have to say, it looks better on you”. He watched as you leant over the desk resting on your elbows.
“I think the thigh highs are a nice bonus” he said making it very obvious at where he was looking.
“What time is your next lecture again Luci?” You asked sweetly, leaning over to boop his nose gently.
“Actually my last lecture had to cancel due to some strange unforeseen circumstances”, he said typing the email as he spoke.
“Isn’t that lucky?” He chuckled while glancing at the office door
You gave him a brief kiss on the cheek, “very lucky”
He didn’t make it to the 3pm lecture
Gavin:
He had left some of his clothes at yours before heading out on a mission. He’d been gone for a few days but he had called and said he would be home soon. Weekends were usually spent with you waiting for gavin. He had promised he would stop going on big missions now he had something to come home to.
You kinda got bored waiting for him, because he said he’d be home today. You had told Eli that if he came back with a new bandage you were going to kill him and make him sit in a salt bath. Eli knew you weren’t joking.
You decided to pull out one of the many tshirts he had left at yours. It was an old rock n roll band tshirt. You didn’t know them too well but Gavin had liked to listen to their music every now and then. He didn’t wear it that often anymore, it was a bit too tight on him since he had bought it in his college days.
You had washed it already because you sometimes slept in it. You had been binge watching DIY youtube videos all day when you had a great idea. You really liked the look of the cut out ladder look the girl had done in her youtube video so you decided to do the same. You grabbed a pair of scissors and got to work.
You also decided to give the thsirt a little bit of a v-neck but leaving a piece around the neck for that fake choker look. You looked at your handy work and decided you really quite liked it. The back wasn’t too exposed because of the laddered look but you could always wear something underneath like a mesh top.
It came down to just lower than your thigh. You looked at yourself in the mirror. Considering it was the only piece of clothing you had on right now besides your little running shorts, you thought you looked really cute.
You spun around happy when you saw gavin staring at you COMPLETELY RED outside the window.
“Gavin!” You squealed excitedly as you went to open the window and let him in.
The wind blew underneath your dress/tshirt a little to lift it. You quickly pulled it back down.
Bird cop has stopped working
“You look...” Gavin stood in front of you staring at you. You could see there was a new scar on his neck and arm but no bleeding on any of his clothes.
“I’m so glad you’re home!” You wrapped your arms around him, breathing in his scent
He hugged you bag but went even more red - is that even possible??? - when he felt that the back was laddered and an entrance to your bare back.
“Um you look... very cute” he was now imaging you wearing all of his clothes. Boi was beetroot red someone help him.
“I could pair this with some denim shorts and it would be a date night outfit yeah?” You said taking a step back and spinning round for him
MC why u wanna make this precious boi jealous?? XD
He pulled you in for a quick kiss, “no this is just for me. You’re mine. No one else can see you looking this...” he paused as his ears started to go red again, “good”
Safe to say you didnt kill him for discovering he had several bruises across his back. BUT MC U SAID NO BANDAGES OR BLEEDING SO TECHNICALLY ITS FINE
Kiro:
You had woken up super late - like 11am - after gaming and doing other stuff.... all night. Your body still kinda hurt and ached a little... clearly from doing all of that just dance marathon stuff. If you think kiro isn’t a just dance kinda man i will fight you
The bed was more spacious than normal and you didn’t have a cute blonde cuddling up next to you. Odd. You looked over towards the bathroom but the light was off.
God what day was it? You reached over sluggishly to the bedside table and looked at your phone. It was Wednesday but thankfully you were having a week off after finishing a big project with Kiro’s help.
You had worked the hardest with the late nights and the weekends you had sacrificed. Anna and Kiki thought it was best for you to have a little holiday.
You stretched and sat up. You looked around. Kiro’s jeans were gone and phone. Maybe he had gone to the shops?
You honestly couldnt remember if had anything in his schedule today. Even though he was taking a mini holiday himself - you both timed it perfectly - he still had to do interviews here and there to make Savin happy.
You rubbed your eyes. You didn’t remember where you’re clothes from last night were but they were in NO state to wear. Clearly because of all the sweat from just dance AND NOTHING ELSE ;)
You opened Kiro’s walk in wardrobe. You lazily looked for something to just wear so that you could walk round the house, comfortable but not just nude. Kiro’s house was big and Savin had a key
You picked up a signature yellow and white tshirt that Kiro often wore to events and fan signings. It matched his hoodie but it was perfect for the warmer weather.
Boi was only a few inches taller than you so it JUST came to below your butt. You’d have to bend from the knees and not the waist. Unless you want your butt to be on show.
You found some black unused underwear and popped them on. You debated onto weather you could be bothered putting socks on or not. Then you remembered that Kiro had central floor heating so nahhhhhh
You wandered round the house looking for Kiro. Your bare feet making a gentle thudding noise across the marble floor.
You gave up home when you couldnt find him in the games room or living room so you decided to go get yourself a snack.
You walked in and froze as you saw Kiro. In front of a camera. A LIVE camera. And Savin sat just out of frame.
You just remembered that wednesday afternoons were the weekly Kiro livestreams.
KILL ME
Boi instantly caught your eye and then looked at what you were wearing - barely anything
Whatever he was saying before he was silent. Boi was SHOOKETH. He COUGHED LOUDLY and went a bright scarlet red from his neck to his face.
The livestream chat was going mental as they couldnt see you from the camera angle positioned on Kiro’s face. They were wondering what he was getting so worked up about. It was a really good job that the camera could only see from the waist up
“H-hey guys, sorry I’m gonna have to cut the livestream short.” Savin had his head in his hands, “I’m just not..” he stole another glance at you while you were trying to reach the top of the shelf where the cookies were and his tshirt lifted up higher exposing more. “I’m just not feeling too good.” He chuckled bashfully as he rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed.
The chat soon filled up with #get better soon kiro as well as #curiouskiro was trending. Some people speculated that Kiro might have a lover. The fan theories went mental.
“I’ll see you guys next week bye!” And the livestream ended. You blushed as you saw Kiro’s gaze and you crunched on your cookies while looking at the floor.
Savin got up to go and leave and sort things out for Kiro online, to make ensure his reputation wasn’t going to fall because of this unexpected situation.
“Thats my tshirt!” He said as he came over to you still red
“Yeah... and?” You mumbled a mouth full of cookies. Thats not the only thing your mouth’s gonna be full of in a minute miss chips - I’m sorry please forgive me i had to XD
“Miss chips is not allowed to look that good” he whined, “i was doing an interview, i was gonna be back in like half an hour and you looked so peaceful-“
You pressed a finger to his lips to shush him, “well we can still go back to bed now...”
SAY. NO. MORE
Boi picked u up and carried you upstairs, bridal style.
A week later you made your relationship public. At first the fans were a little upset but then soon adored you when you revealed a little of why Kiro was so blushy the previous Wednesday. #blushyboikiro was trending for a MONTH
BONUS: Shaw:
He had to rush off to his exam in the morning after promising to meet up afterwards for breakfast/lunch
This was at 8am. [bitch you aint getting out of bed at 8am on a day off? Beauty sleep is very important]
His exam was three hours long [the pain of uni exams, i get you Shaw i get you] and you woke up at 11:39
SHIT
You scrambled for your things but the night before outfit was not really brunch appropriate so you settled for something a lil more casual [and devious]
You grabbed one of his favourite tshirts which fell down to your mid thigh, and cut a slit at the bottom and safety pinned it together [ya know for that EDGY look] [i dont know what the kids are up to these days but i saw my friend do it and she’s cool so]
You grabbed ur cropped zip hoodie, put on some thigh high stockings, put on ur black boot heels from last night and you were ready to go. [you also sprayed some perfume on ur neck, wrist and garter while u were at it. LOOK SIS YOU DEVIOUS AND U KNOW THAT SHAW LIKES IT]
You rushed out the door and thankfully the subway wasnt busy and you got there just as the doors opened and the students came plodding out. You stood there with a coffee in your hand and the other one twiddling your hair in an OH so cute way. [you know how to look cute mmkay]
Several students walked out through the doors but you didnt end up seeing him. Darn you for being so short.
So you sat down on the low wall near the university’s fountain. Your little safety pin glistening in the sun and the tshirt putting your garter on show. [we like that casual but i secretly put in loads of effort kinda vibe]
You started scrolling through Moments incase he got out early but the shitty university wifi meant that it wasn’t refreshing. Furthermore the sun was shining in ur eyes so you couldnt really see much even when your phone was on full brightness
Then a tall shadow blocked the sun and you looked up and saw Shaw stood over you with a sleepy but piercing gaze.
“What are you doing wearing my Black Sabbath Tshirt?” He looked you up and down. Boi was clearly shook but he was damned if he was going to let you know this. Even though you already knew this.
“What you don’t like it? How did your exam go?” You said getting up to give him a quick hug. You knew Shaw had expressed he wasn’t a fan of physical affection but he secretly enjoyed the odd hug/hand holding or head scratch from you. Though he would never share this
“You really think you can distract me from your lazy sense of style?” He raised his eyebrows and looked you up and down again. You could see the twinkle of mischief in his eyes.
“Your rebelliousness has rubbed off onto me” [in more ways than one] you gave him a little spin raising your arms a little so that the top of the stockings and garter would come on show.
You could see that his nose went a little red along with the tips of cheeks. He coughed and placed both hands on ur arms firmly. “Let’s go get something to eat.” He swung you around so that you were now walking back to the subway, with his arm round you.
“But this is the way home...?” You started as you turned to look at his face, still walking
“Well we’re skipping straight to dessert” you could see the glint in his eyes and you allowed yourself to be lead.
Now that thsirt was his absolute favourite, especially whenever you decided to surprise him with it after an exam x

Fulfilling the Promise, Together
Thank you so much for the support as always, @breeachuu! I hope you like this sin and fluff! ;D
Summary: There were only a few days left before Wolfram had to return to Ylisse, but there was still much to do. He wanted to be with Dimitri for as long as he could, but he was also thinking of how to tell Nidra that he would want to return to Fódlan...
Commission info HERE and HERE!
______________________________
The increasingly cold autumn climate at the Monastery reminded all who lived there that a new season was approaching. Winter symbolized a time of restructure; of enduring the harshness of nature with the fruits of the hard work from the previous year. To Fódlan, that meaning would be taken to the extreme, as it would be the first winter in over hundreds of years that the entire country would be considered as a whole.
There would be much work ahead, not only for the common people, who needed to rebuild their farms that were razed by the war, but to those in charge who had to oversee every and all little changes in governing such a large, diverse land.
With Dimitri at the helm of the New Unified Kingdom of Faerghus, he would share the workload with Byleth, the new Archbishop for the Church of Seiros. They were still to be formally appointed into their new positions of King and Archbishop since the war had barely just ended, but the work they had to take care of was piling up by the hour.
All of that meant that although Wolfie’s time in Fódlan was ending, he wouldn’t be able to spend as much time as he and Dimitri both wanted to spend together. It was already an immense feat to stay at the Monastery instead of returning to Fhirdiad right away, but Dimitri was adamant in at least seeing Wolfie off before heading back home to his coronation.
Besides, once Wolfram returned, they would need to hold another coronation for the King consort anyway, so Dimitri wasn’t too pressed about the formalities at the moment. He felt apologetic at his beloved for not being able to leave the meeting room for long periods of time, but Wolfie always replied with a smile, especially since he still needed to properly talk to his friends before leaving.
He had asked Caspar and Dorothea for a lock of their hairs at the same time, explaining what it meant to his kind as he showed the jewel he had made for himself with his and Dimitri’s hair.
Dorothea’s eyes sparkled as she saw the gold and silver scale-shaped jewel. “Wow! And you do this with your own fire? How very interesting…”
Since it was something precious and priceless, they were looking at it from Wolfram’s hand. Caspar gapped at it and bounced on his seat.
“That’s sick! Can I watch mine being made?”
However, Wolfie awkwardly shook his head. “I’m sorry, but it’s something really intimate and I need to focus on it all the time. Besides, I don’t think I make it here, so I’ll have to do it once I’m back home.”
“Are there any specific conditions?” Dorothea tilted her head to the side. Before she could ask more, Caspar nodded beside her.
“Yeah, like if you need something special?” He asked, though since he wasn’t very creative, he didn’t even think of what else Wolfram could need.
“Yup, I need to do it under a full moon. Since it’s not time yet here in Fódlan, I’ll have to do it back home.”
“Sick…” Caspar mumbled under his breath, leaning back on the chair in thought. He sprung up right away as a thought blinked in his head. “Oh yeah, how much do you need?” He reached out for the middle of his hair, grabbing a fistful-
“No, no, wait!” Wolfie jumped at the same time Dorothea pulled Caspar’s hand from making him suffer from early baldness. “J-just a lock is fine, no need to pull so many…”
Sighing in relief at preventing a tragedy, Dorothea also leaned back on the chair, taking the tip of her silky, wavy hair. “Perhaps if I trim the ends…”
“Oh!” Wolfie turned to Dorothea after receiving less than a fistful of hair from Caspar. “Since your hair is so long, I think just taking some from your brush is fine.”
“Truly? I don’t mind cutting it a bit if it’s for you, Wolfie.”
“Heehee,” Wolfie scratched his cheek as his chest beamed with warmth. “Thanks, but it’s really fine. It’s better if it’s new hair, though, so…”
Smiling, the songstress threw her hair back with a smooth movement. “Would you brush it for me, then, Wolfie?” She winked.
Beaming, the half manakete got up. “Sure!”
Before each went their ways, Dorothea pulled Wolfie to the side to whisper in his ear.
“Make some time for me tomorrow evening, okay?” She asked with a mischievous smile, making Wolfie feel cold sweat drip down his back.
“Um, sure? What’s going on?” He stuttered, somehow feeling a predatory aura from Dorothea. Strange that a dragon would feel spooked at any kind of predator, but it was something instinctive.
“Don’t worry about it, dearie.” Dorothea pushed him to be on his way. “Just be ready to spend a few hours talking with little old me and another friend.”
Wolfie tilted his head to the side, even more confused. “O...kay.”
“Great! Goodbye now!” She singsonged as she waved to him, snorting as he waved back awkwardly.
He walked the path towards the central tower with a puzzled expression, imagining what Dorothea would want to talk to him about with such secrecy. However, since he still had a lot to do before the portal opened, Wolfie quickly shook his head and sped up his steps.
He still had to ask for Dedue’s hair, not to mention how he always rushed in and out of the town market to buy some presents to his family and friends. He never had the time nor luxury to think about giving them souvenirs during the war, but now that he had some respite from all of that fighting, it was unthinkable not to get them a few presents.
To Cynthia, he would give a book detailing pegasi and horses since he still remembered how excited she was about the different kinds of mounts this world would have. For Cyn, although the same book would probably suffice, he would still rather give her something different, like a new saddle or a sturdier choker for her to hang her dragonstone at.
To Meliodas, he would give a book about this world’s goddess and her children -- the fabled draconic species of Fódlan. Meliodas was always interested in their draconic descent, so reading up about other world’s cultures would be a treat in itself! Meli was also interested, though much less so than their older brother -- most likely due to how differently each of them grew up. Because of that, Wolfie thought of giving him a fancier and sturdier belt chain for his dragonstone, or perhaps a hair clip for his long braid.
Wolfie smiled warmly at his own, much shorter, braid as he browsed through the market. Of course, he wasn’t going to give only one present to each of his family members -- his bag was large enough to keep a lot of stuff -- but he was thinking hard about the ‘main’ ones, at least.
There were also tiny wooden statues of horses, knights and princesses, so there was no shortage of souvenirs around.
He would probably gift Henry a tome pertaining to how they approached magic in this world, though Wolfram figured that having Byleth teach Henry would be better at the end of the day, so he was a bit stumped on his parents’ presents.
Well, Henry aside -- since there were many things that he would like -- Wolfram really didn’t know what to give his Mother, Nidra.
Tea? Would that truly be enough? There were so many trinkets around to give to everyone, but each time he thought of Nidra, he came up with a blank. He remembered her tender though protective touch on his hair; how she sang a very old lullaby whenever he had been anxious before coming to Fódlan… How she had told him she would fight the gods up and below just to protect his opinion…
Wolfie’s chin trembled as he remembered his Mother, missing her so very terribly.
She had announced to their family that they would all live together for eternity, but here Wolfie was, wanting to go back to her embrace only to leave her again… He missed her so much, but he was also feeling such a deep-rooted guilt it made it hard to choose anything that would appease her.
He didn’t realize he left the market until he heard Dimitri’s concerned voice beside him.
“Muh?” Startled, Wolfram turned to the soon to be King beside him, not understanding how he ended up with him.
Dimitri chuckled, though worry never left his eyes. “Are you alright? You’ve been staring into space ever since we left the meeting room.”
“I was in the meeting room? Whoa.” Wolfie looked down in thought. “Sorry, I think I was a bit out of it.”
“That’s understandable. You’ve been rushing here and there every day since we arrived.” Dimitri nodded.
“Mhm,” Wolfie absent-mindedly nodded, silently looking down as they walked.
Not wanting to call to him again, Dimitri let his beloved have his space. However, he allowed himself to be a tad greedy by sneaking one hand into Wolfram’s just so they could enjoy this night walk together for a little longer.
It had been basically the only time they could meet after they returned to the Monastery. With Dimitri being busy handling state affairs and Wolfie saying his goodbyes during the day, they could only converse after night fell, during the short walk towards the dormitories.
Many of the soldiers (especially Gilbert and Dedue) were adamant in having Dimitri sleep at the separate quarters reserved for distinguished guests and royalty instead of huddling himself at the dormitories with the others. He was soon to be King, after all, so he couldn’t sleep among so many people.
Wolfie still shared a room with Caspar like always, too used to it to consider a change during these busy two weeks. So the walk they took was simply from Dimitri walking Wolfie back to his quarters so he could return alone to the room reserved for him.
It wasn’t surprising that he was a bit greedy for touch by holding his beloved’s hand, or so he justified himself as he nodded with a blush. Wolfram felt the warmth between his fingers and looked up at his wonderful, handsome and perfect boyfriend.
He smiled instinctively, then intertwined their fingers. “Actually, I’ve been thinking about my Mother today, so I’ve been a bit out of it.”
Dimitri widened his eye. “Mother-in-law? Is something the matter?” He said that so casually it made Wolfie’s smile grow.
“Heeheehee, mother-in-law, heehee,” he giggled, covering his face with the empty hand.
Dimitri’s blush deepened, his hand on Wolfram’s flinched and his lips quivered. He wanted to say something back, but since that was how he truly felt, no words left his mouth, so he only muttered a, “please do not tease me like that…” with an adorable pout.
“Heeheehee,” Wolfie giggled for a few more moments before pulling Dimitri’s hand to his lips and kissing it softly. “I’m having trouble choosing a gift for her, so I’m in a pickle.”
Welcoming the topic change, Dimitri cleared his throat before speaking, “do you have no idea at all?”
Wolfram tilted his head to the side in thought. “Hmmm, actually, I was thinking of giving her tea since she likes to drink it, but… well, our kind isn’t really that much materialistic, and with her being the only pureblood in the family, it’s even more acute in her. She’s more family-oriented…”
Dimitri fell into a short silence before turning to Wolfram. “Perhaps the biggest present you can give her is your return,” he said in a serious voice, then lowered his gaze. “All a mother wants is to be reunited with their children, after all.”
His words had layers of depth Wolfie could discern at glance, so he didn’t reply right away. Instead, he squeezed Dimitri’s hand more while placing his own forehead on his chest. It wasn’t as though Wolfie hadn’t thought of that, to be honest -- it was actually the reason why he was anguished.
The biggest present he could give Nidra was coming back to her arms. But he would only want to stay temporarily, which would break her heart even more.
Perhaps he should settle with the tea for the time being, if only to vow to put all of his feelings into proper words so she could understand his decision. He couldn’t not return to Fódlan, not when his heart was so deeply intertwined with Dimitri’s, so he was sure that NIdra would understand, if only after some time.
The couple stayed in silence that way for a while longer, not wanting to let go of each other during all the time they had left before the inevitable separation.
The next day, Wolfram returned to the market to get those tea leaves plus a few jewelry he found pretty as well. He had asked for Dedue’s hair before lunch, so now he probably had everything he needed to go back -- it was time to pack!
He was about to ask Caspar’s help to clean up their room, but Wolfie saw how Hilda stole Caspar away from training so he just covered his mouth with boths hands and giggled, returning on his own.
As he took everything out of his bag so he could organize it all neatly, he was taken by nostalgia. Each and every single one of these items had a story to tell of his time here in Fódlan, especially the ones he had forgotten inside the cave he spent five years in.
It had been so hard. He had been so lonely.
He had learned how to take a life, how to hold a spear (with professional guidance, at least), how to tap into his inner potential to take out magical power… how to hold a secret and how to reveal it. He had learned how to make comrades, friends and… he learned how to love.
Six years in his long, long life were a trifling amount, but to his young, naive heart, it was an essential time to his growth as a person, as a dragon and as a man. He would have never felt any of this if he had stayed back home with his family, nor would he feel the width of the world outside their nest.
Of course, he would still rather make a nest of his own and never leave it, but he was simply overwhelmed by how much his world had grown after that one decision he had made seven years ago; to help those in need, if he could do it.
He had done it. He had helped.
Sniffling, Wolfie patted a cloak amongst the countless things scattered across the room, not realizing he had made an even bigger mess than before he had started it. Caspar probably wouldn’t come back that night, but that thought didn’t occur to Wolfie until after his meeting with Dorothea.
Actually, he had lost track of time, so he was about to miss the meeting when a hurried knock landed on the door.
“Wolfie? Are you in there?” Dorothea’s muffled voice sounded from outside, startling the half manakete into attention.
“OH NO!” Wolfie jumped, “am I late? I didn’t notice how much time passed-” he opened the door in a hurry, being greeted by two people instead of one. “Oh, hi there, Yuri!”
“Yo,” Yuri winked, then glanced at the mess behind the boy, “yeah, follow us down to Doro’s room, will ya? We thought of having the meeting here, buuut,” he smirked before turning his back towards the stairs.
“Ehehe…” Wolfie chuckled awkwardly as he closed the door behind him. “Sorry again.”
“You should be! I was worried.” Dorothea pouted, taking the boy’s hand to guide him down to her room. “We’re having a serious talk, so get ready to burn your midnight oil.”
“Oh? I-I didn’t think it’d be so serious, I’m sorry again…” Wolfie bowed apologetically, which stole a loud snort from Yuri, up ahead.
“Yeah, I got something to give ya, as a parting present.” He waved with his back turned, making Wolfie tilt his head to the side.
What could the talk be about? He had a strange feeling about it, though most of all he felt guilty since he would probably be late picking Dimitri up from the meeting room…
However, all thoughts of guilt were forcefully erased from Wolfie’s mind once he stepped out of Dorothea’s room. His mouth was agape and his pocket had a new addition to his luggage -- a very slippery and essential present Yuri made sure to drill its uses into Wolfie’s head all evening.
Blushing deeply, Wolfie wobbled around the greenhouse, not even remembering to take the stairs up to his room. A familiar blond head amidst the plants made Wolfie freeze on the spot, immediately remembering allll of the contents of the Big talk he, Yuri and Doro had had just now.
Gulping, Wolfie didn’t notice his steps nearing the Prince, only realizing it once Dimitri turned towards him with a gentle smile.
“Good evening, Wolfram. Has your meeting gone well?”
“Um,” Wolfie stuttered, not knowing where to look. Dimitri’s face? But he was too handsome right now, it would spring up all kinds of thoughts- but if he looked down it would be even worse…
Since Dimitri knew of the meeting with Dorothea -- Wolfie had commented as much the previous night, he didn’t go around looking for his soon to be consort. He simply waited nearby so they could meet as soon as possible. Seeing how flustered Wolfram was just by meeting him made Dimitri’s heart tingle, however.
He was so adorable…
Dimitri reached out to touch Wolfram’s cheek, which surprised the half-manakete into letting out a squeak.
“Eek!” He jumped out of his skin, holding Dimitri’s hand by instinct. “I-”
However, the Prince was already shaking from trying to contain his laugh. “F-forgive me, but- your voice- ahaha!”
Half of the awkwardness melted away. “H-hey! No laughing!”
“Haha…!!” That only set Dimitri off even more, making him bend over to catch his breath.
Pouring, Wolfram nudged his boyfriend’s chest, “no laughinggg.”
“F-forgive me,” Dimitri shook for a moment longer before taking a deep breath to compose himself. “You were simply too adorable.”
“Ador-” After having just cooled his face down, Wolfram blushed again, pouting even more.
“Indeed,” Dimitri smiled lovingly, running his thumb on Wolfie’s cheek, right beside his lips. “Truly, too adorable…” he closed his eyes as he approached, landing a soft kiss on Wolfram’s stiff lips.
He had been so nervous about the big conversation that he was about to avoid the kiss, but the moment their skins touched, the nervousness melted away. Closing his eyes, Wolfram wrapped his arms around Dimitri’s neck, allowing him to deepen the kiss.
Under the reflected moonlight inside the greenhouse, the couple happily caught up with the affections of a day spent apart from each other.
As the day the portal would open approached, the more Wolfram wanted to spend time beside Dimitri. Despite their still busy schedules, they did everything they could to spend every evening together, but as time ran short, Wolfie started to get anxious.
He was so happy with Dimitri, he didn’t want to part with him.
Tomorrow was the 10th day of the 9th month, so he could barely focus on anything anyone said all day. Even as Dimitri tried to act normal and speak of his day as usual, Wolfram couldn’t pay attention to any of it, simply snuggling into his chest like a lost child.
Dimitri’s hands trembled, but he didn’t want to pressure his beloved even more than he already had. He had already asked him to stay -- to come back -- so he couldn’t ask more of him now. Instead, he adjusted Wolfram in his hug, digging his face into the lovable, soon-to-be-gone head.
Their hearts ached, longing for each other before a separation that hadn’t happened yet. As Dimitri struggled to keep the grief within himself, he felt Wolfram trembling in his arms, which was soon followed by muffled sniffling.
“Wolfram…” Dimitri pulled away so they could look each other in the eye, but he regretted it -- Wolfram looked so pitiful that the sight made Dimitri’s heart crumble even further. He opened his mouth, but no words left it.
It was a temporary goodbye, but they would part nonetheless. Wolfram hadn’t even said how long he would be gone. Days? Weeks? Months? Worse yet, years? Neither of them actually knew the answer to that, so they simply hung onto one another to spend each day as the fullest -- as their last.
Seeing the same pain he felt reflected on Dimitri’s eyes, Wolfram squeezed his hands and threw himself on Dimitri’s arms. “Please, don’t let me go tonight! Let’s… stay together until dawn!” He cried, rubbing his face in Dimitri’s chest.
The Prince sniffled as well, his cheeks tinted in a rosy hue as he nodded, hugging his beloved back with the most tenderness he had ever felt. He didn’t want to mlet Wolfram go, tonight or whenever.
But if they had to go their separate ways, at least they wanted the memory of this night to remain… With these thoughts in mind, they lingered in one another’s embrace for a while longer before getting up, their faces resolute.
Since they were sitting by the bridge, just existing together, the walk to Dimitri’s private quarters wasn’t long, though they walked it in silence. Their hands in each other's were hot, as were their faces, but their hearts beat as one.
Still, despite their resolve, the moment they arrived in front of the bed, they froze for a moment. Wolfram stuttered as he remembered the talk he had with Yuri, also remembering how he had forgotten the lube he got as a present… But the moment he turned to meet Dimitri, the desperation in the Prince’s eyes made Wolfram’s subside and his body melt as he reached out to kiss him.
Wrapping his hands around Dimitri’s shoulders, Wolfie opened his mouth for a deeper kiss, allowing everything Dimitri wanted from that moment on. The Prince winced, closing his eyes from the deep longing as he dove into his beloved’s lips and tongue with a hunger he never realized he had.
They walked backwards to the bed, and Wolfie only didn’t fall because Dimitri’s hold on him was rock solid -- which actually aroused him even more, honestly. Pulling away to breathe, they huffed by each other’s lips, closing their eyes to once again dive into one another’s taste.
This time, however, Wolfram plopped on the bed as Dimitri gently placed himself on top, unbuckling his cloak with one hand amidst their kiss. Wolfie reached out to help Dimitri out of his armor, but since there were so many knots and buckles, he gave up with an annoyed huff under their entangled tongues.
As reluctant as he was to stop the kiss, Dimitri pulled away to take off his armor; his face so red it shone in Wolfram’s sensitive eyes. Gulping, Wolfie couldn’t help but stare as the well defined muscles tempered by scars came into view, holding his breath once the pants rolled down on the floor.
“Oh, my Naga, it’s big just as they said…” Wolfie gasped, clenching his body from seeing the amount of effort it would take to put all of that inside of him.
Bashful, Dimitri scratched the back of his neck. “If you stare so much, I…” He trailed off, not actually knowing what he would do, only having an instinct that he would do it.
Wolfie gulped, reaching his shaky hands to it, “c-can I…?” He looked up like a frightened cat.
Adjusting himself on the bed, Dimitri nodded. “Of course…”
Once Wolfie’s cold fingers touched it, it twitched a bit as a strangled huff came out of Dimitri’s throat. “It’s really so big, I’m… I- Will it fit?”
Dimitri covered his mouth with one hand, embarrassed to no end. “If you would rather do it, I can-” He meant to turn around, but Wolfie squeaked.
“N-no! I- want to… to feelitinsideme,” he dug his face inside his hands, “but I’m just-”
Even more aroused after Wolfram’s declaration, Dimitri lifted his beloved’s face, placing a kiss on his lips. “We can take it slow, if you want. I absolutely do not wish to hurt you. Besides… I, well…” he stuttered, glancing at the bedside table. “Sylvain… informed me of many things.”
Wolfram looked from imitri to the table, opening the drawer at his urging. There was a flask much like the one he had gotten from Yuri sitting there. “Oh- I know this-”
“You do?” Dimitri chuckled nervously. “Have we been thinking the same things all this time?”
“Heehee,” Wolfie giggled as he noticed that even the packaging was the same. Did the two of them get it from the same merchant? Bearing those light hearted thoughts actually calmed Wolfie down, making him look at Dimitri’s towering erection with hunger instead of fear. “I think we did.”
Dimitri’s heart pounded as he saw Wolfram slipping off his clothes. He grasped at his chest as he saw the glittering skin under the faint moonlight, finding him beautiful beyond words. Even the deep blush -- or rather, especially the blush -- made him look like a painting someone put all of their life into making.
The words fell out of their tongues, unneeded, as their lips touched, intertwining one with the other. Dimitri softly placed Wolfram on the mattress, carefully sliding his hands through all of his body. Wolfram could finally touch the muscles he had been ogling from some time ago, relishing on how they hardened as his soft fingers passed by them. The moment Dimitri’s fingers touched Wolfie’s bottom, he let out a soft welp, digging his face into Dimitri’s shoulder.
The shuddering breath, the pale skin, the welcoming flesh around him… Dimitri could get drunk on all of it. He smeared the lube like Sylvain had told him, inserting one finger at a time until three could fit without hurting Wolfram, under the half-manakete’s moans and squeaks. His voice was so adorable.
So, so adorable.
It was a wonder Dimitri hadn’t thought of embracing him before, but now that he had him in his arms… He didn’t want to let go.
Slowly he prodded his erection into Wolfram, startling him into holding his breath.
Feeling the anxiety, Dimitri lightly kissed his beloved, then dove in with his tongue. Wolfram melted noticeably, wrapping weak arms around Dimitri’s neck which the Prince took as permission. He inserted it slowly, so very slowly he could go mad.
The deeper it went, the more stretched out Wolfram’s moans became, which spurred him into pushing it even deeper. Once it was all in, they both let out sighs of pleasure, never wanting to part.
At the back of his mind, Wolfram even wondered how could all of that fit inside of him, but most of him was occupied with the pleasure it all made him feel. He was dizzy, he was huffing for breath, grasping for Dimitri’s touch like a starved animal. He wanted to feel it all.
As Dimitri moved, their bodies resonated with one another, making them even more sure that they had made the right choice in choosing to be together; to bound themselves with one another. Their bodies fit perfectly.
The night was young and the couple had a lot to learn from their love-making, though they moved like there was no tomorrow.
Tomorrow, they would part. Tomorrow, they wouldn’t see each other anymore.
But tomorrow was still far away. For now, they had each other.
There was golden dust fluttering around in the sun-kissed room, blessing the lovers’ morning like a mother waking her sleeping child. Deep inside Dimitri’s hug, Wolfram squirmed, turning his head away from the light.
“Are you awake?” Dimitri’s voice was so soft it made Wolfram wonder if he was still dreaming. The Prince had woken up long ago, but he wasn’t about to let go of his beloved so he stayed to watch over Wolfie as he slept.
“Ughhh,” Wolfie groaned, “I’ll have to fly to the portal… I can’t sit on Aquilo like this…” he grumbled, feeling sore all over.
Dimitri choked, beet-red, then cleared his throat. “A-ahem… Forgive me.”
Wolfie giggled, shaking his head, not really wanting to leave this perfect cage of muscles. “I’m happy. I was so anxious yesterday thinking that we’d never see each other again, but now… I’m content. Like I can do anything.”
“I feel the same,” Dimitri nodded, placing a kiss on Wolfie’s forehead. “Is your body alright? Can I help with anything?”
Wolfie grinned, shaking his head at first, but then tilting it to the side. “Not rea- wait, maybe… can you help me take a bath? I don’t think I can sit up.”
“Of course! How could I not-” Flustered, the Prince got up to quickly call for someone to bring water. The morning was just beginning but it was already this filled with happiness.
It made the anxiety from last night feel like a lie.
However, as they left to Zanado -- Dimitri on Aquilo at Wolfram’s request and Wolfie flying beside them -- it all started to feel real.
He would be lying if he said he wasn’t anxious at all, but now he felt more assured. He landed on a seemingly empty spot with a light heart, straightening his back once Aquilo landed with Dimitri in tow.
“Is it here?” The Prince asked, looking around.
“Yup. Anytime now.” Wolfie looked at the space in front of him, feeling the familiar energy from when he had first arrived in Fódlan. It was compelling him to take a step forward.
He tried to, but Dimitri’s hand on his stopped him.
Wolfie grinned happily, squeezing Dimitri’s hand before placing a kiss on it. “See you soon.”
The wind around them started to change, swirling around Wolfram before reaching a spot a few steps from him. Light started to gather and Dimitri could see something similar to what had engulfed Byleth five years ago -- it was a portal.
“Yes…” Dimitri also took Wolfie’s hand to place a kiss on it. “Come back soon, my love.”
“My love.” Wolfie repeated before walking into the portal, followed by Aquilo. The light flashed blindingly, forcing Dimitri to close his eye -- just as he reached out to it again.
But there was nothing there anymore.
Wolfie followed the same gut feeling from the past, avoiding portals near him by instinct, walking straight ahead towards the one he felt most familiar with. As the blue light around him gathered, he felt his body drop and closed his eyes from the sudden vertigo.
He couldn’t even open his eyes once the atmosphere changed around him because something -- or someone -- tackled him at full strength, throwing him on the ground that was full of water and roots.
“Wolfie! Oh, Wolfie, my child, my little baby…” Nidra cried on his chest, quickly touching his face and shoulders. “Are you alright? Look how much your hair’s grown! You’re so thin-”
“RAMYY!” Cynthia and Cyn both threw themselves on the pile, drenching even Tiki and Nah who were close to help with the portal.
“Aww, now he has more green on his hair, he’s not only my kid anymore, Ni-Ni!” Henry laughed from the side, helping Nidra and Wolfram up. “Welcome back, kiddo! Now you’re even taller than your old man here, nyaha!”
“Father- Mother…” Wolfie choked up, his chin trembling. Cynthia and Cyn glued themselves on him like leeches, as Nidra patted around him in search of injuries.
His eyes burned with tears.
“Mother…” He sniffled, then cried. “Wahhh!” He wailed, losing the strength in his legs as he dove into Nidra’s hug. “I mi- missed… you all so much! So much, wahh!” He sobbed, setting all of their family but Henry off into crying with him as well.
Henry smiled with a ‘nyaha’, looking at Tiki and Nah so they could excuse themselves from the family reunion, which they did silently.
The crying wouldn’t end until after a long, long time. It was late afternoon when he arrived, but only way into the night that they composed themselves into talking with words instead of with tears.
Everyone took turns hugging their youngest, each asking a different question about how everything had been on the other side, though only Meliodas and Henry noticed the ring on Wolfie’s ring finger at first.
They exchanged glances like the overprotective father and brother duo that they were, planning on pulling Wolfie to the side once they arrived home so he could explain that first and foremost.
However, for now, they were all just so happy to be reunited that they almost considered staying in Chon’sin for the night, but Wolfie wanted to fly.
More than anything, he wanted to fly again with his family, just like how he had seen in the dream Naga had shown him. The bright light of the moon in this oh-so-familiar world, filled with draconic energy… It seeped into Wolfie’s bones.
He hadn’t realized how tired he had been everyday back in Fódlan, but just by breathing into his world’s air, he felt recharged. He was home.
On their flight back, Cyn excitedly told him about the news they wanted to share as a surprise.
“Our castle is done! We’re going there now!” She looped in the air, giggling as even her older sister Cynthia scolded her.
“Hey! It was so hard to keep it a secret! It was gonna be a huge surprise!”
“Nyahahaha, you truly are sisters, huh?” Henry cackled on top of Nidra’s dragon form, knowing how hard it had always been for his little girls to keep a secret.
Wolfram’s eyes, however, only sparkled. “It’s done? Wow! We’ve only visited it while it was being built, but now we can LIVE there? Wooohoo!” He did a loop-de-loop, following his sister into a happy dance.
The castle that Robin had promised to make for Nidra and her family about 30 years ago, before Luci was even born, was finally ready. So Nidra could keep her vow of watching over Robin’s family and descendants through ages to come, Robin had a castle to be secretly built in the woods, behind the royal palace of Ylisse.
Only those who were involved in its construction and the royal family would ever know about it -- a den of dragons, right under Ylisse’s nose.
Wolfie was excited to finally see it completed -- it had been under construction ever since before he was born, so seeing the whole thing made his heart soar.
The location was really deep into the woods, which, in Cyn’s words, was ‘just like how legends are born’. They landed at the courtyard, under Wolfie’s gaping mouth. “Woooow!” He twirled around himself, then jumped to fly around the spires and towers. “Is this really for only us? It’s so big!”
Nidra puffed her chest up with pride, as though the praise directed at Robin’s work was her own as well. “Well, it WILL house many generations of our family, so it has to be at least this big.”
Nidra and Henry’s children, as well as their consorts and their children’s consorts… And their own children’s consorts, as well. Since they were of immortal blood, all of them would live together, sharing the same space. It was the perfect way for everyone to live together.
Once she said as much, Wolfie winced, looking down with dark eyes.
“Son?” Nidra took Wolfie’s hand, looking up at him with concerned eyes.
Wolfram shook his head, smiling right after. “Nothing. I just wanted to see how it looked inside!” He beamed, but Nidra could feel that something was wrong.
Before she opened her mouth, however, Henry touched her shoulder. “Alrighty, kids! Time to show our youngest to the nest! Tomorrow we’ll do a big tour.” He urged the children with his usual eagerness, watching them disappear inside the castle with a smile.
“... Henry.” Nidra touched the hand that was on her shoulder.
“Ni-Ni. What if they don’t want to live here with their mates?” He asked without taking his eyes off of the door they went through. “Will you hold them back?”
The manakete looked down, pressing her lips into a thin line.
Sleeping inside their nest after so long made Wolfie sob half of the night until he finally fell asleep, though by then Cynthia and Nidra had also cried so much the pillows were drenched. Henry stayed up all night, caressing his youngest’s hair as he reminisced of the past.
Had it been already that long since he was just a bundle of warmth at the corner of the nest? Now he was fitting right in the middle, in between so many limbs no one knew what belonged to whom.
His eyes naturally trailed to the ring on Wolfie’s finger.
His children finding mates wasn’t something new, actually. Meliodas and Cynthia both had found their sweethearts, though they weren’t living at the castle yet. Emphasis on ‘yet’. But it seemed like Wolfie’s wouldn’t be able to come over, maybe ever.
Henry looked at his wife whose eyes were puffy from crying so much and smiled, kissing her eyelids. “Maybe we can make another one, nyaha!”
The following day, Wolfie distributed the presents one by one, muttering something about buying larger decorations if he’d known the castle would be ready. Each one reacted to their presents differently, but it was just what he had expected. Meliodas and Cynthia were excited to read their books, just as Cyn wanted to test out her new saddle right away. However, they would rather spend time with their youngest, so they put away their presents to listen to Wolfie’s stories instead.
Bashful, Wolfie took a deep breath to start the epic tale, but Nidra lifted her hand, getting up from her spot in the nest. “Children, you should go enjoy your presents now. Mother needs to have a talk with Wolfie before we all return to our usual lives.”
Meliodas and Cynthia exchanged worried glances, remembering how serious Nidra had been on the day Wolfram had had his destiny’s call. Cyn and Meli glanced at Henry, silently asking to stay, but he urged them to leave instead.
Under the suddenly cold atmosphere, Wolfie looked like a lost puppy. “Um, Mother? Is something wrong?” He squeaked after everyone but Henry and Nidra had left, hugging a big pillow as though to defend himself.
Nidra took a shaky breath, truly not really wanting to have this talk. Henry sat beside her and held her hand, jumping straight into the issue.
“You’re not really staying, right, Wolfie?” Henry surely used words, but Wolfram felt like he had been slapped instead.
“Wuh- how? I-” He blabbered, looking from Henry to Nidra.
The manakete felt tears burning on her eyes again, but she pushed them down. She was a mother, so she understood her children well.
Of course, she wouldn’t want to tie them down if they absolutely didn’t want it. She would use her authority as a mother to keep them under her wing for as long as it took -- even that meant thousands of years! Actually, she would prefer it that way.
However, if they wanted to fly out of the nest on their own, she had no choice but to accept it… with conditions, of course.
“We’re your parents, Wolfie. Of course we know when our baby is struggling,” she said with a level tone, smiling warmly at the boy.
“They can’t come over, huh?” Henry pointed at the ring, making Wolfie flinch and look down at his hand as well. Not even the nosy Cynthia duo noticed, so he didn’t think he would be found out this soon.
The moment he saw his family again, he wanted to blurt it all out, but he couldn’t. The more time he spent with them, the more he thought that he had to wait for a better moment to drop the news and ask for help.
And yet, his parents saw through it all.
“...” Wolfie teared up, hugging the pillow even harder. “I love him so much… I miss him already, Mom…” he sobbed, his voice muffled by the pillow.
Nidra ran up to her child and hugged him, squeezing him into the most motherly hug she had ever given. “Tell Mother everything, Wolfie. We will do anything to help our baby.”
“Wuhh…” Wolfie sniffled, digging his face into his mother’s embrace. “Motherrr!” He cried out even harder as she patted his back reassuringly.
Henry held Wolfie’s hand through it all, silently waiting until he was ready to tell them everything.
It took a while for his tears to dry, and even longer for his voice to come back after sobbing so much, but they waited patiently. As Wolfie told them his and Dimitri’s tale, his eyes sparkled like they never had before.
Wolfram had always been a child who shone brightly with his smile; but seeing him talk about his beloved -- Dimitri -- the couple could see how much brighter he could become once he found something important to him.
Nidra caressed his hand in silence after he was done.
He wanted to open the portal again to be with Dimitri -- that was his strongest wish. He wondered if the portal could be permanent, but trailed off because he would still want to go back to Fódlan even if it couldn’t be permanent.
“We said this before you left, but we still remain true to our words, Son. All that matters is what you want.” Nidra smiled weakly. “Opening the portal once took a lot of power, so I cannot promise that we can make the permanent one right away.”
“Uh-huh,” Henry nodded, scratching his chin in thought, “maybe if we tapped into the life force… I think that would work…” He mumbled, though he felt that that train of thought would be too much for Nidra to handle at the moment. Cut off their son’s lifespan so they could meet anytime they wanted? She would never allow that!
However, Nidra simply bobbed her head to the sides. “I shall speak to Naga about how we could make this possible. It would be better if the portal was held here in the forest…”
Wolfie blinked, stunned. His Mother and Father were so open about helping him that made all of his feelings of guilt melt away like snow. “It- is it okay? I can… go back? But we just met again…”
“Oh, you are not going back now, Son. Perhaps a few moons away? There is much to prepare for the portal to open once, so opening it indefinitely will take even longer.”
Months.
Looking down, Wolfie hunched his shoulders, making Nidra and Henry exchange glances.
“Do not make that face, my boy.” Nidra lifted his chin with a soft touch, booping his nose. “We shall do our utmost to have you back in your beloved’s arms, so smile for us, hm? Besides, I still need to meet him for a ‘talk’.”
Henry snorted, setting Wolfie off as well.
“Heehee, poor Dimitri!” He giggled, finally feeling the weight in his chest being lifted. He looked up with clenched fists, as though readying himself for a challenge. “Wait for me, Dimitri… I’ll go back as soon as possible!”
The news about Wolfie’s eventual return to Fódlan was met with some resistance from the younger siblings. Meliodas figured that was the case so he was more level-headed, though he still grieved silently while Cyn sobbed, hugging her only little brother.
“I’ll go too! I’m not leaving Ramy alone anymore!” She declared under loud sobs, flustering her siblings and mother to the almost fainting point.
There was much to prepare for Wolfie’s return; from gathering information about the portal to how the dynamics inside their castle would change. If the portal were to be permanent, it would only be like crossing the street to visit, but if not… Well, there was a lot to think about.
Nidra prayed to Naga every day, talking with the Mother of the species as though they were in a group project together. They talked about materials and possible sources of power, not to mention a way to connect both worlds together.
They had to take stones from Naga’s temple up on Mount Prism to build a foundation for the portal to stay up, then there was a need for the stones to be bathed in a solution made with Naga’s Bell. The way to connect their worlds would be through the ring Wolfie wore and the Jewel Dimitri had on his person back in Fódlan. He had asked for additional hair the morning of his departure, saying that his feelings had changed from when he had first made the ejwel, so although a shame that the old jewel would disappear, Wolfie would return with a new one in tow.
For the energy source, Naga suggested two that none of them had thought of: the Fire Emblem and the Exalted Falchion. Since both of them were bathed in Naga’s holy fire and held a considerable amount of her power, they would be enough to supply the portal for all eternity. However, they would lose all of their power, so another Awakening Ceremony would be needed should the need arise in the future.
Nidra approached Chrom and Robin with such concerns, but the Queen Mother and former King readily lent them to her, seeing as they now lived in a time where the Fell Dragon didn’t exist anymore.
It took almost an entire year for Wolfie to stand in front of the portal once again, though this time he would cross it hand in hand with Nidra. The others were forced to stay since it would be too overwhelming for everyone on the other side if so many dragons crossed over, but once everything was settled, they would rush in right away.
Wolfie gulped, his heart pounding like crazy as he stepped into the light, guided by his Mother’s warm hand.
Summer in Fhirdiad wasn’t that much different from spring, which was only slightly warmer than autumn. The King of the Unified Kingdom of Fódlan sat in his office like he had done for the past year, digging into piles and piles of documents. However, that day, unlike the others, something strange happened: as he was stretching his arms from looking down for so long, something flashed under his clothes.
“What?” He quickly pulled the chain in which he had hung Wolfram’s jewel, seeing it shine brightly for a moment before… crumbling into dust.
Color left his face as he tried to gather what was left of it, but the dust floated in the air, avoiding his touch. It twirled around the room, then reached the door as though asking him to follow it.
Dimitri’s heart beat faster.
Could it be?
He slammed the door open, running after the golden dust that sped up more and more as it left the castle well into the woods. Many people shouted after seeing their King run around like a madman, but Dimitri didn’t hear any of it.
Huffing, he stood at a clearing in the middle of the dense woods as the dust twirled in the air, twinkled and flashed a blinding, familiar light. A blue portal opened right in front of him, the waves of distorted space making reality wobble around him.
“Do you think you will recognize the place once we arrive?” An unknown woman’s voice rang, making Dimitri flinch.
Soon after it, a familiar and sweet voice replied. “I have no idea! Naga said it’d open close to where the jewel was, right? But I dunno where Dimitri is-”
As Wolfram stepped out of the portal, a bright blue eye and a perfect blond head greeted him.
“Right here.” Dimitri huffed, pulling Wolfram into a much needed embrace. “I’m right here, Wolfram.”

A detailed summary can be found below the cut 〈(•ˇ‿ˇ•)-→
Tumblr media
This is her second try at filming the video. The first time she tried to answer all the questions and the video turned SUPER long (she talked for about 2 hours). That’s why she decided to film everything again and make two separate parts. This is part 1.
Question 1: What made her choose her current house that she moved into a few years ago? The fact that she can see the sky clearly because there are no high buildings around her.
Question 2: What kind of supplements is she taking? She is taking a bunch and she has those super cute containers for every day of the week. She introduces one of her favourite supplements, RSP Nutrition BCAA 5000. It promotes muscular endurance and decreases fatigue. A friend recommended it to her [Note: I wonder which friend? *coughs* Keiko *coughs*]
Question 3: Her hair care routine? She has very long hair but in the humid wheather it turns frizzy and slightly curly so she always makes sure to use a special round brush to straighten her hair while drying it. She also uses a serum by a brand called Aujua. It takes care of dryness and leaves the hair soft, manageable, and moisturised. When she is going for a specific style, like an up-do (e.g. dango hair in the video XD) she uses a styling serum by by a brand called nAplA.
Question 4: What does she use as the base for her make-up? Aside from her concealer which she already introduced in her previous video, she usually uses a light and natural-looking base. And there is something she uses every day underneath her make-up. It’s her &be UV Milk. She uses it for her face and body actually. It’s very soothing and not sticky at all. Everyone should try using it if they can find a bottle.
Question 5: Where did she get the shark plushie in the background and what’s on its head? LOTS of people asked that question. Wakana thinks her shark is wearing a hat but she could be wrong. Also, she got that as a present from her relatives. it’s very fluffy and soft, the perfect size. She loves it. When her relatives saw if for the first time, they knew it was meant for Wakana so they gave it to her as present.
Question 6: The same question about her Teto plushie? She got that at a Ghibli exhibition in Roppongi. There was a souvenir store and she obviously couldn’t resist.
Question 7: How did she become a shark lover? [Note: She has actually talked about that so many times, why are people still asking this?] Her usual story about watching Jurassic Park in the cinema with her dad and brother. She was super scared but started to be interested in dinosaurs. At one point she came across megalodon (ancient dinosaur-shark). She was absolutely blown away by its size and immediately fell in love. She is happy that the fans seem to like her obsession with sharks, that allows her to make more and more shark merch XD She also loves shark movies (the ones where they are portrayed the way they actually are) and of course she loves going to the aquarium and watch them swim.
Question 8: Her go-to snacks and favourite ice: She prefers savoury snacks so her favourite snack might be “kaki no tane”. Especially the Ume&Shiso flavour. She likes everything with ume (plum) flavour like the Suppa-Mucho Ume chips for example. Generally, she is a fan of sour snacks so she also likes vinegar and lemon flavours. Her favourite ice and recommendation for everyone is PariPari Bar.
Question 9: What’s her usual air-con/heater temperature setting? When she sleeps she has her temperature set at around 27,5 degrees celcius. In the summer time when it is super hot she will turn on the A/C in the room adjacent to her bedroom so some cool air flows through the house and into the bedroom when she sleeps. Right now her room is at around 26 degrees celcius, she turned it down a bit for the video because she gets hot easily when she talks a lot. [Note: Does Wakana actually think that 26 degrees is a cool temperature? Wow. I honestly can’t deal with anything above 22 degrees in my apartment]
Question 10: Someone wants to see her accessory collection: She has a lot so she can’t show everything but she is showing us what she is wearing these days, She prefers gold over silver. She likes round shapes (not only with earrings but also with necklaces - like the choker she puts on).
Part 2 will follow soon! Everyone, please look forward to it! She says these Q&A videos are super hard because she can’t keep things short. She can’t answer with a single sentence, she just keeps on talking. These 10 question actually took her about 30 minutes to finish but she managed to edit it so the video is only 15 minutes XD

Step By Step
Kim Namjoon Series
Tumblr media
Arranged Marriage Series
Main Masterlist
KNJ x Poc Reader
Warnings: None
Word Count: 2k+
“Shhh...come on YoungMi, please get some sleep for mommy.” You paced around your daughter’s room while rocking her in your arms. You glanced over at the clock that read 2:43 am and took a deep breath. YoungMi whined and cried quietly in your arms. You knew she couldn’t help it since she was sick and the poor thing couldn’t get sleep. After getting prescribed medicine, the doctor said it should work after a couple of hours but Namjoon, being Namjoon, forgot to give it to her before her bedtime and you were left to fix it. It had only been a few minutes since you gave it to her and she started to quiet down.
Ever since that day at the building, you and Namjoon haven’t been on the best of terms. You avoided him as much as possible, only talking to him when it was related to the child you both shared. You didn’t have long to think about the living conditions since all of your stuff had already been moved in anyways. You did what you had to for your baby, wanting nothing but the nest for her. That was a few months ago, of course and now you had to deal with a sick, crying baby. Although you weren’t talking to Namjoon as much, you were able to figure out his schedule since it was a must. 
5 am- Namjoon wakes up and so does YoungMi
5:30- Namjoon has eaten breakfast while you feed the baby as well and let Namjoon hold her for a while before heading to the studio.
6 am- YoungMi goes back down after being tired from waking up so early and you take a shower.
7 am- You cook yourself breakfast and do any cleaning that wasn’t done the night before while learning Korean through an app and books, with help from Jimin.
7:45- YoungMi wakes up and you get her dressed for the day.
Between 8 am and 10 pm you give MiMi her tummy time so she can learn to crawl, feed her and you make a grocery list for later, make lunch and do laundry.
By 12:30 YoungMi is down for her nap while you eat breakfast and learn more Korean, taking notes.
1:15- MiMi wakes up from her nap and is fed again.
2pm: You and the baby go out to the grocery store and spend some time at the Han River.
5pm: You start cooking dinner and brush up on your studies since you’re still waiting for a few phone calls for your esthetician job.
6pm- You feed MiMi again and turn on soft music for her to listen to while she sits in her bouncer and watches you make dinner. 
7pm- You give MiMi her bath
8pm- You eat and put the rest up for Namjoon
9pm- Namjoon comes home and goes right to spend some time with MiMi before bed while you learn more Korean.
10pm- Namjoon takes another shower and goes to bed while you go to bed in the other bedroom.
You had all of this figured out within the 3 months that you’ve been living together. Sometimes Namjoon will send a text to see YoungMi on his lunch break at the building so you bring her there, but you won’t say a word to him and the boys can tell that there’s a lot of tension between the two of you. They don’t speak on it, since most of them have their own issues going on already with their wives. When you do need a break, Namjoon’s mother, the angel that she is, will take the baby to give you some free time in which you do squeeze in a few sessions with a personal trainer since you wanted to get your body back.
Now, in this room with your daughter slowly falling asleep, you sniffled some since she was starting to make you sick, all from taking care of her. You kissed her head a few times, rocking back and forth. Even if your eyes felt heavy and you wanted to sleep, you knew you couldn’t until she was okay. Motherhood was definitely taking its toll on you and your body but you wouldn’t give her up for anything. It was hard, but you knew you could do it and even if you and Namjoon didn’t see eye to eye he was a great dad, a little forgetful but great to MiMi. 
Laying her down in her crib and placing a blanket over her, you walked over to the humidifier in her room and filled it with more water, turned it on and walked back to your own room. Hearing the other door open, you froze and turned to see Namjoon coming out of the room, shirtless and wearing boxers while scratching his chest and staring at you. “She okay? I heard her crying.” He grumbled. God, why does his voice have to be so deep and sexy at this hour? If you didn’t hate him so much right now you would probably be pregnant again. You hadn’t gotten laid since the night your daughter was conceived but you were sure he got his fill while you suffered.
“She’s fine now, you forgot to give her the medicine she was supposed to take hours ago.” He cursed and rubbed his face. “I forgot...I’m sorry. Hectic day and-” “It’s taken care of now, just go back to bed.” You cut him off, not really in the mood to hear what he had to say. Closing your door behind you, taking a deep breath, you sat on the edge of your bed and rubbed the back of your neck and that’s when your door opened and in walked Namjoon, closing it behind him and clasping his hands together. Was he for real? Right now at this hour and still wearing boxers? 
“Y/N...we need to talk about this now. It’s been months and this is getting ridiculous. I know we don’t know much about each other but we do have a daughter together and I would like for us to get along for her sake. There’s an award show coming up and the company wants us to invite the wives, ever since the announcement people have been waiting to see all of you so I need you on this, Y/N, please. There’s already enough stress with this comeback and the new album dropping soon.” He paused for a few seconds and looked at you. “We can talk more about it in the morning, you can even sleep in the bed with me and move your stuff into the room. I want to work this out.” He added. 
He looked like a God when he was begging like this. Blinking a few times, you rolled your eyes twice as hard as he spoke and picked at your pajama shorts before looking up at him. “I want you to apologize. Apologize to me for what you said. You wanted me to stay out of your way, you wanted me to stay in the extra bedroom and not bother you while you work and I gave you exactly what you wanted and now you hate it. I’ve been giving you what you’ve wanted besides this marriage that I had no say in...I just want you to know, that as hard as it is for you it was hard for me too, Namjoon. To be pregnant by myself with no help, drive myself to the hospital and give birth alone and then take care of her for 2 months by myself. No help, just sleeping when she sleeps and eating when she isn’t crying. So, with that, the only thing I want from you is an apology. I’ll fix everything else tomorrow and we can figure something out but I just need you to understand that I’m also overwhelmed too.” You climbed under the blanket and looked at him. 
“Please, let me get some sleep, call your mother in the morning to pick up MiMi and keep her for the day.” Namjoon nodded and gave you a small smile. “This will all work out, I promise. All relationships have obstacles and this is one of many that we will get through. Things will get crazier but I promise I’ll try my best for both of you. Um, goodnight, Y/N.” He nodded his head once again before leaving the room.
Great, now you were stuck staring up at the ceiling and thinking about what he just said. Clearly he needed to redeem himself and you could tell he felt guilty about what you went through while being alone and pregnant. Also, you had forgotten about the award show and even the whole announcement. You stayed away from most of your social media except for Instagram, which you kept extremely private and you wouldn’t dare to go on Twitter even though you had thousands of notifications. What were you gonna wear to this award show anyways?
You and the other wives had your fittings in one dressing room, all matching colors with your husband, your color was gold. You were placed in a short dress, black with gold details, the back was only slightly low and the dress itself stopped at your mid thigh, almost feeling like a second skin. Your jewelry was gold as well, a few rings, earrings, a gold diamond choker and a a bracelet. Your shoes were black, keeping those simple. You did your own hair, keeping your curls but less volume and did a simple smokey eye with a brown lip. 
You waited with the other wives, quietly talking amongst them and taking in how beautiful they all were. Jin’s wife was last to get ready, being the diva that you thought she was but once you all were ready, you waited for the boys. Looking over your fresh manicure that you were not used to having, you played with the rings on your fingers while the boys walked out, all dressed in their own style of suits but they matched the dresses overall. Namjoon stared at you, his eyes looking over your body and you glared at him before getting into the vehicle that was to escort all of you to the red carpet.
The amount of cameras and people that were on the red carpet was overwhelming. You weren’t ready at all but Namjoon, kept you next to him, holding your hand while you all walked and waited to take pictures. The screams were insane, your body tensed up every now and then but you kept a small smile on your face while posing and taking pictures. While the boys spoke, you and the other wives took a few photos together, it was weird that people knew your names and asked you to turn and take photos for them. 
Each couple had their interview, which thankfully you didn’t have to speak much and Namjoon did almost all of the talking. He led you inside, his hand on your lower back and waved at a few people. Once inside, you walked to your seats. “Are you okay?” Namjoon asked and you nodded, confused as to why until you heard the fans from afar, some cheering and others yelling bad things at you and the other wives. Scrunching your eyebrows, you held Namjoon’s hand and squeezed it while staring at the stage as they got things together. 
At one point during the show, the boys got up, more than once to accept awards and then to perform. You sat next to Jimin’s wife who was on your right, dancing in your seats to most of the songs and grinning when the boys performed. The whole night was something you never thought you would have the luxury of being in. The idols were nice, at least most of them, some of them didn’t take the time to say hi but it didn’t bother you. You knew why but you didn’t let it ruin your night.
The boys were phenomenal, winning so many awards that even they were shocked. Although it was long, it finally ended and you were able to go home. As Namjoon walked over to you, sweat on his face, you grabbed a napkin and patted it away for him, fixed his collar and jumped when you heard someone behind you call his name. Jackson Wang, of Got7. He jogged over to you two and briefly spoke to Namjoon, asking him to come to the after party. 
Within the two weeks that you moved back into the main bedroom, worked out your schedules and your daughter got over her cold, things were looking better. The fandom was still shaken up, but on your end, this was what you wanted for your daughter, a great life and even greater parents. 
You nodded to Namjoon, seeing as he was looking at you for confirmation for the after party. Of course, you would be going with him since Jackson insisted. 
The after party was a different atmosphere, more relaxed than the award show. There were drinks, actual food and music playing. The building in which it was being held was beautifully decorated, red carpeting and a chandelier in the middle of the room. The first thing you did was grab a glass of wine and took a sip while Namjoon introduced you to a few people. Jackson made his way back over. “You made it and you brought your beautiful wife.” He cheered and finished his glass of whatever he was drinking and held out his hand to you. He kissed the back of your hand and you full on smiled, giggling. “Wow, Namjoon-ah, you really outdid it. She’s so beautiful. Your dress is amazing.” He commented towards you and you thanked him as he spun you around.
From the corner of your eye, you can see Namjoon’s jaw tighten visibly and he pulled you back to his side and stared down at you. Jackson was still holding onto your hand, looking over your rings and showering you in compliments, your face was burning from it all and Namjoon took your now empty glass from you and went to get you another one.
“So how does it feel to be Mrs. Kim Namjoon, huh? Where did you two meet and how come I didn’t see you first?” He joked and you laughed, explaining that you met in California a little over a year ago. You let go of his hand as he talked about his music and the trips he had lined up, you noticed Namjoon standing by the bar, watching you, carefully and you hugged Jackson goodbye, his hands rubbing your back before letting go.
Once you were in front of Namjoon, he leaned down to your ear. “We’re leaving now.” He ordered and grabbed your hand, pulling you with him out of the building and towards the car that was waiting for you. He sent a quick text and the other members came piling into the car with you and you all drove off.
You didn’t know what caused this sudden change in character for him but something told you he was angry about whatever it was. Maybe Jackson being too friendly or maybe he just wasn’t feeling well. Whatever it was, you were gonna ask him once you two got home anyways.

One night shortly after she turned six, a serious argument broke out in her home and she confronted the parents who enraged her physically before throwing her out in the open and throwing her out of the house, by some miracle someone was walking recklessly on the streets of slums late at night and by their presence them seemed to be someone noble and powerful.
Inara was questioned by the mysterious person about that deplorable and pathetic state, the crocodile girl with arrogance and contempt responded with irony and insults and countered by questioning why someone of apparent nobility did in a filthy place like the slums.
Sarcastically the person scoffed at the young woman's sordid and miserable fate, but the only answer she got from the petulant crocodile girl is that she didn't believe in something as stupid as fate and that it was for weak fools.
The mysterious person became interested in the sassy and crocodile girl and the person reveals themself to be a supernatural creature from another world, presenting himself under the name Yua a beautiful fox with nine tails that was suddenly brought to this world centuries ago and this being offered to Inara power so that she can change that miserable life and take revenge on that stupid fate.
Seeing that she had nothing to lose between dying in this sordid place or following that strange fox, she became a disciple, as promised, the fox taught everything she knew while longing insatiably to learn more about Twisted Wonderland until one day their paths parted in Land of Pyroxene when Inara turned 14 when Yua disappeared and the young crocodile had already achieved an independent and well-structured life with the instructions of her mentor she managed to open her business: a Motorcycle Cafeteria and also a very popular workshop among various types of auto racers and one day she was accepted into a prestigious girls' magic school until suddenly the Mirror of Darkness took her to Night Raven College.

The Superfriends AU (part 9)
The flashes were blinding and the large lights heated the room like a sauna. His palms were moist with sweat as he reached up and pulled at his collar. Colin had not been this nervous this morning. And Damian of course, said he had nothing to be nervous about when he had started to feel anxious. But he did. He’d obviously been too tired to properly panic when Violet dropped off the outfit he was currently wearing, this morning.
It had started when he unzipped the black garment bag. The intricate details embroidered on the expensive fabric immediately caught his eye and sent up the most alarming red flags. He’d never worn anything so expensive. Not even the suits Mr. Wayne had gotten tailored to his form for the handful of galas Damian had taken him to, cost as much as his current outfit. 
The next anxiety laced arrow to hit him was when Damian had pointed out that Colin and Edna had yet to hold a real conversation. Their interactions with one another had completely ceased after his boyfriend’s introductions were finished. 
And then there was Edna’s ability to influence Damian. She was one of the few members of his family he let himself be pushed around by. He willingly did her bidding as well as valued her opinion. And Colin had thought making sure Marinette had a good opinion of him was important, only to find out that Edna’s had more weight. 
Now he stood sandwiched between the small woman who essentially invented fashion and one of the richest men in the world. Bruce had pated Colin on the shoulder when he first walked up to the two, a silent reassurance to the obviously panicked boy. The intimidating man now stood straight, shoulders squared with his hands clasped behind his back. His eyes were not on his son, who was currently up on a platform surrounded by fake trees, instead his dark eyes had a strange shadow cast over them, reminding Colin of the man’s alter ego. He was carefully surveying the room, analyzing everyone who fell under his intense gaze. 
On Colin’s right stood his boyfriend’s great aunt, her stance near identical to her nephew's. Her eyes were trained on Damian, unlike the boy’s father whose gaze was roaming the room. However, her glare was no less intimidating or fear inducing. Though, Colin couldn’t exactly blame the woman for her current enraged expression. 
His eyes went back to his boyfriend, Damian was dressed in a top that resembled a toga, the one strap tank consisting of billowy semi-sheer fabric, tucked into slim dark grey pants, that Edna had whispered to him were a cigarette style. He also wore a well fitted silver blazer, the material of which was lighter than the pants. His face covered in metallic silver and soft brown makeup, he was too far to really see the details the makeup artist had done, but he could see an intricately drawn crescent moon done in silver eyeliner on Damian’s right cheek, as well as the matte midnight blue lipstick. 
His hair had been wetted and dried a number of times before it was curled to Edna’s satisfaction. Now every time there was a pause in the camera’s flashes, a tall blonde woman would step up onto the platform and use a spray bottle to dampen Damian’s hair and then restyle it. Every time she tried to touch him though, he would aggressively react both physically and verbally. Colin had picked up on a few older female oriented insults, his boyfriend had a knack for talking like he just time traveled from Victorian London. The darker skinned boy eventually resorted to batting the bottle out of the woman’s grip as well as slapping her hands away. 
Beyond the problems he was having with the stylist, Damian was also getting difficult with the photographer. Not necessarily on purpose, but Edna was still less than pleased. 
Damian was a very handsome boy, not exactly what one would consider classically handsome, but his features were undeniably attractive. His naturally neutral expression was extremely attractive, and gave off an air of aloofness and mystery that most girls their age found irresistible. But very few people were aware of just how stunning the boy’s smile could be. Not the fake polite one he showed interviewers or those he couldn't be bothered with but had to interact with often enough to the point that forced him to be courteous. His real smile was absolutely breathtaking. 
The photographer had been trying to get that breathtaking expression for about ten minutes. Colin could see how the man was grating on his boyfriend's nerves. Edna and the photographer were becoming increasingly frustrated as well, which was totally understandable in the redhead's mind. But he was sure that if either of them snapped at Damian the boy would storm out in a frustrated huff. 
Poor Angel, he really was trying. He just had difficulty relaxing to the point where his natural smile could be displayed. He carried far too much tension around for sixteen year old, even with all his extracurriculars. 
Colin watched the blonde woman fight against Damian once again, his bangs had fallen into his eyes and she needed to correct them. His boyfriend’s palm raised, slapping the purple spray bottle out of her hand, it bounced off the platform and rolled towards Colin, Edna, and Mr. Wayne. 
It caused Bruce to let a low chuckle break from his lips, which took Colin far too much by surprise. He’d actually forgotten that his boyfriend’s father had been standing there. The wealthy man looked down at his Aunt’s unamused expression. “I did warn you about working with him.”  
“Yes.” She grumbled. “Forgive me for having faith that a sixteen year old could stand not to act like a child for thirty minutes or so.” Her arms crossed tightly over her body. “Honestly, why are your boys always so difficult?” 
“They aren’t difficult,” Bruce defended. “Just...different.” 
Edna rolled her eyes at the man.
“Different, sure.” She huffed. “Luckily, I planned for Damian’s ‘differentness’ and have a solution at the ready.”
Bruce cocked his eyebrow, giving his aunt a questioning look. She smiled up at him before her gaze lowered to Colin, the boy’s face coated in just as much confusion as Bruce’s. “Colin dahling.” The woman walked forwards several steps, leaning down and picking up the purple bottle. “Come here please.” She motioned at him with a curl of her fingers and he was quick to follow her, doing as told like a little soldier. 
“Yes ms-” He stopped himself. “Edna.” He finally said. 
She smiled, patting his hand. “Colin could you be a dear and go help Damian with his hair?” The ginger tilted his head, looking back at the blonde woman as she stomped off the platform. Another series of flashes fired, as Damian positioned himself in whatever way the photographer told him to. 
“His hair?” Colin asked. “I think it looks fine.” Truthfully he did. He wished Damian would wear it curly more often, but knew how unprofessional his boyfriend felt when he did. 
“Could you just go push his bangs back and use the spray bottle to help his hair curl a little more. Please dahling, it would be a big help.” Edna held the bottle out to Colin.
“Um…” Colin looked back at Damian as another flash went off. “I guess?” He questioned. “Right now?”
His hands slowly took the purple bottle. “No no, in just a moment, when I walk over to look at the shots we have so far.” 
“Yes ma’am.” Colin turned from the woman, facing Damian’s platform. His perplexed look melting away and being replaced with a smile as he saw Damian push his own bangs back, only for them to fall back into his eyes without the assistance of his ever precious hair gel. 
He only had to wait a moment before Edna patted him on the shoulder before swaggering over to the photographer. Colin was quick to hop up onto the platform and over to his boyfriend, who looked less than pleased. His face was set in a scowl and his arms were tightly crossed. The closer Colin got though the more of the makeup he could make out. Damian’s eyes were traced in metallic off white eyeliner, the shade only varying slightly from the moon drawn on his cheek, and a range of soft browns were used for his eyeshadow. The color pellet suited him extremely well. 
“You know,” He began, getting Damian’s attention. “You’re making this way more difficult than it has to be.” 
Damian didn’t respond, he just rolled his eyes, directing his gaze elsewhere. 
“It’d all go a lot quicker if you cooperated. It’d also be less painful too.” Once Colin was properly in front of his boyfriend he took note of the glitter highlighting his cheekbones, as well as a chain earrings that had been hooked onto his right ear, and a thick silver choker that resembled something out of the greek myths themselves around Damian’s neck. 
Damian gave Colin a rather dry unamused look. “If that woman would stop touching me, everyone would be in less pain.” 
“Dames,” Colin breathed. “She’s a stylist, it’s literally her job to touch you.” He rested his free hand on his hip. “She is getting paid to come up here and make sure that you continually look perfect throughout this shoot.” 
The boy only huffed turning his head away once again.
“Your aunt is getting a little frustrated with you as well.” Colin’s gaze drifted across the room towards the woman. She was sitting in front of a computer with the tall balding photographer, neither seemed happy with the shots they had so far. Edna’s eyes slowly traveled up, locking onto Colin’s. It nearly gave him a heart attack. 
He turned his attention back to his boyfriend. “I’m gonna spray you with this,” He held up the bottle. “And mess with your hair.” Damian’s eyebrow quirked up. “If you slap my hand, I will punch you in the face.” 
Damian’s shoulders visibly tensed when the mist fell over him, but he relaxed once Colin moved to brush his bangs back. While a little less tense, the boy still stood incredibly still, almost like a statue. Colin’s hands moved quickly, doing his best to mimic how the first hair stylist had shaped Damian’s hair before the shoot had started. It didn’t look perfect but it looked better than it did when his bangs were hanging in his face. In fact, once Colin was done it started looking more messy, resembling the boy’s rare bedhead after a sleepless night. But it looked good, at least in Colin’s opinion.
He couldn’t stop his laugh.
“What?”
“Nothing.” He snickered, running his fingers through Damian’s curls, repositioning them. “You should really consider wearing it curly more often.” He whispered.
“Absolutely not.” Damian was quick to refuse, but couldn’t stop the corner of his lips from quirking up. “Why are you up here anyway?” He asked.
Colin smirked as he continued his work. “Board of me already babe?” 
Damian rolled his eyes, gaze dropped to the ground as he willed his blush to fade. He wasn’t great with nicknames, not when Colin used them. Shortenings of his name was fine, but it always got to him when more traditional pet names were used by his boyfriend. “No.” He muttered. “Just curious, after all Edna was rather clear about you and Jon not interfering while I work.”
“Your aunt asked me to come fix your hair.” Colin shrugged. “Probably because she knew you wouldn’t be near as cranky with me.” 
“I am not being cranky.” The boy bit back, earning an unamused look from his freckled boyfriend. 
“Dames.” 
“I don’t like people touching me Colin, she knew this when she asked me to be her model.” Colin rolled his eyes, hands moving out of his boyfriend’s hair.
“Yeah, but you're also very mature for your age and should be able to suck it up for thirty minutes or so.” Colin crossed his arms. “Seriously Dames, this isn’t like a crowd of Wayne Ward Fangirls trying to grope you on the street. That woman is trying to do her job and by you being cranky, it’s making everything run very inefficient.” 
“Are you implying I’m a bad model?”
“Course not.” The redhead sighed. “I’m implying that you’re acting like a child and it’s not cute.” He gave a small smile. “But other than your attitude, you’re doing a very good job.” Colin leaned forward and peck Damian’s cheek, the one not coated in eyeliner. “Just smile a little more.” 
Colin turned, hopping off the platform, and turning back to watch once he was far enough to not be in the shot. He flashed the mixed race boy a blinding smile once he was out of the way and gave him a thumbs up. Damian returned the gesture with a soft smile, not noticing the flashes of the camera as he watched his boyfriend who, after a few minutes, started to make utterly ridiculous faces. 
Edna and Bruce watched from their previous spot. Positions the same, backs straight, shoulders square, hands clasped behind them. Edna’s face cracked into a self satisfied smirk. Bruce’s eyes watching the scene before him critically. 
“So that’s why Colin’s here.” He finally said.
“Fail safes are important dahling.”
“What would you have done if Damian hadn’t brought him along?” 
“Please,” Edna looked up at her nephew. “Who do you think gave him the idea to invite the boy?”
… 
Marinette watched her cousin and his boyfriend retreat down the hallway, Colin’s arms wound around one of Damian’s. The boy had mentioned in the elevator that he needed to go feed Titus and would be down in the cafeteria once he was finished. Colin quickly volunteered to go with him. Marinette assumed it was because of how moody Damian had gotten towards the end of the photoshoot. She could practically see the negative energy radiating off the boy. Jon and Chloé, who had also been in the elevator went straight to the Mode cafeteria. Marinette and Adrien had gotten off on the floor with all of their rooms like Colin and Damian. Marinette making the excuse that she needed to call her mom and Adrien saying he forgot something in his room. 
Once she saw her cousin’s form round the corner of the hall she turned back around to look and see if Adrien had gone into his room yet or not. The door with a large number seven on it was firmly close, the blonde nowhere in sight. She turned back to her own door, took in a large breath to steal her nerves, then turned the knob and walked into the suite.
The room was large with a queen sized bed against a wall of floor to ceiling windows, the sheer black curtains were drawn currently. There was a fireplace in her room on the opposite wall, the one that her door was on. It was an electrical insert and so didn’t require a chimney. There was a flat screen tv above it and two red chairs in front of it. A silver rack was against the mainly empty wall, holding her mass of black garment bags. The west wall was mainly taken up by a large dresser vanity combo, which her accessory trunk was currently in front of. 
Her room had been mostly left undisturbed since she first arrived, save for the bed, which she had messily made that morning. Mostly everything in the room was well organized, especially her garments and accessories to make things a little less stressful for her during the hectic week. 
The large white comforter of her bed was wrinkled and had been pulled towards the center of the mattress, creating something that resembled a nest. In front of the mass of blankets, propped up on a couple of pillows was her tablet. Her nerves were on fire, but she still managed a smile when the head of her kawami popped up from behind the piece of technology. The small creature was quick to pause whatever video she had been watching, most likely a telenovela she had found on one of the streaming services Marinette’s family subscribed too. The girl had discovered relatively soon after becoming the wielder of the ladybug miraculous that the creature had a bit of an addiction to the television genre. 
“Marinette!” Tikki beamed, flying up to her holder. “How is the photoshoot going?”
“Well…” Her smile tightened. “Well.” She reiterated. “I think it’s going well. Aunt E is unbelievably specific.” Marinette’s hands clutched the fabric of her sweatpants before releasing it, she repeated this process a few times. “She made some intern repaint a handful of leaves on a fake tree because it wasn't mossy enough. She also made a girl cry this morning, sooo we’ve been off to an interesting start.” 
“Did you have to take your earrings off?” The tiny god asked, eyes large, searching her wielder’s face. She didn’t sound angry, necessarily, but Marinette knew she would be if she lied. 
The bluenette bit down on her lower lip, gaze fluttering down to the floor. “Yes.” She said, voice laced with a heavy sigh. “But only for thirty minutes or so.” 
“Marinette...” The kawami sighed. 
“Edna was insistent I wear her earrings!” The girl quickly defended. “I tried Tikki, I really did but she was so-so...insistent.” 
The small god stared at her obviously anxious choice. “That was very dangerous Marinette.” Her voice was still very gentle in nature.
“I know.” Marinette kept her eyes on her feet. “And I’m sorry, really sorry.” 
Tikki was quiet for a long moment before letting out a large breath, flying a little closer to the girl. “You’ll have to have them off again for the rest of the shoot, won’t you?”
“Again, I am so sorry.” 
“Marinette, having the earrings off is very dangerous.” Tikki reiterated. “Don’t you remember what happened last time?”
“Of course I do.” Marinette scrunched her hands into her sweatpants again. “But I did think up a plan!” She added quickly. “Since I have to take them off again, I’m going to hide them here in my room. That way you can watch over them and they aren’t floating around in a room full of strangers.” 
Tikki floated back down onto the bed. “I suppose that would be the best option. Do you know where you’ll hi-” A very solid knock came from her door, just two taps, but Marinette already knew who would be behind it. She walked to the door, then turned about to tell Tikki she wouldn’t need to hide, but the god had already vanished. 
She opened the door, revealing one Adrien Agreste, a sheepish smile on his face. “Is yours half as mad as mine?” He asked as Marinette stepped aside, letting him into the room before shutting the door behind him. 
“I’d say more disappointed, but I haven’t told her everything yet.” 
Adrien winced at her words. “I can come back later once you have.” He offered, to which Marinette gave him a look. 
“Definitely not.” 
“Damn.” 
“What happened to pretending it didn’t happen?” Suddenly Tikki was floating in the middle of the room again. “Acting like you didn’t know?! Not discussing it directly!?” The Kawami huffed. “Marinette there are only so many loopholes we can go through before you blatantly just break the rules!” 
“I’m sorry!” Marinette whined. “But I didn’t know what to do!” She took several steps forward. “Edna made me take off my earrings and I had to give them to someone! I couldn’t just set them down somewhere and risk them getting stolen or falling on the floor or something! And yes, Edna offered to hold them or suggested I let Uncle Bruce do it but, full disclosure I don’t know if I trust either of them with a miraculous. Like Uncle Bruce is very curious and I just couldn’t risk it!” Both Adrien and Tikki were becoming mildly concerned with how red the girl was getting, her speech increasing in speed with every shade her face deepened in color. “And Edna well I just don’t think I could ever in good conscience hand the earrings over to her! I mean yes she knows but she doesn’t understand. And in the moment, I mean you have to agree that under those circumstances Adrien was the best option since we weren’t taking photos together. But we’ll have to after lunch so I told him I had a plan and so I’m going to hide our mirac-” 
“PIGTAILS!” Marinette physically jumped back, colliding with the dresser. A small black cat like creature floating before her. “Take a breath girl.” He said. “Seriously, you’re going to pass out.” The creature turned his head towards Tikki. “Does she do this a lot?” 
“It’s not a common occurrence, but it isn’t necessarily uncommon.” The red god replied. 
“Good grief.” The black creature mumbled. “Look Pigtails, we aren’t mad. Under the circumstances, you did the best you could. Sometimes unpredictable stuff like this happens. I’m honestly surprised the kid’s pops hasn’t made him take the ring off during a photoshoot yet.”
“Marinette,” Adrien finally spoke. “You remember Plagg, right?” 
The girl’s eyes were still wide, her heart rate still slowing form the shock that had just pulsed through her body. “Y-yeah. I remember him.” 
“The two of you being aware of one another’s identities and interacting with each others miraculouses as civilians, it complicates things and if the past is anything to go by, makes things exceedingly more difficult. It’s why we find it better to keep personal things a secret. But I’m sure the guardian's already talked you through all of this stuff.”  
Marinette nodded her head, taking a step forward. 
“But,” Plagg let a breath out. “This is where we are now. And what’s most important is that the miraculouses are safe while the two of you can’t wear them. So, where’s this genius hiding spot of yours?” 
“I-I’ll get it.” She mumbled, quickly darting across the room to where her portable sewing kit was. 
Adrien and Tikki both kept their eyes locked on Plagg.
“That was surprisingly very insightful Plagg.” Tikki said, flying up to her partner. 
“I can be smart!” He retorted. “I understand the importance of our miraculouses! I don’t just think about Cheese.” 
“You just mainly think about it.” Adrien responded, pulling the tin of camembert out of his pocket and setting it down on the dresser. 
“Well yeah.”  
“Okay.” The three’s attention was directed towards Marinette as she sat down on the end of her bed, setting her now open sewing kit in her lap. Held tightly in her hands was a handmade Chat Noir doll. 
“What is that?” Plagg asked. 
“This,” Marinette held it up. “Is what I’m going to hide the miraculouses in.” She smiled, grabbing the small scissors out of her portable kit she flipped the doll on it’s side, looking for the seam before moving to cut it open.
“I-” Adrien’s head tilted. “I’m so confus-is that the doll Manon stole when she got akumatized?” 
Marinette looked up at him, the doll’s side already open. “Yeah.” She blinked before digger her fingers into the doll to pull out some of the stuffing. “I didn’t really know what to do with them afterwards. I couldn’t just throw them away, so I put them all in a trunk. I let her play with them whenever I babysit. Well, Ladybug and Chat Noir don’t live in the trunk. They’re usually either on my desk or the shelf above my bed.”
Plagg had flown over and was now hovering above Marinette’s shoulder, Tikki sitting on her other one. “You’re going to put them inside of it?” The small black creature asked. 
“Yup.” 
“I have never seen either of those dolls in your room.” Adrien said, sitting down on the arm of one of the red chairs.
“That’s because I hide them when you come over.” She glanced up at him. “Last thing I needed was a nosy kitty teasing me about my dolls.” 
“I am not nosy.” 
“Adrien whenever Chat Noir is in my room about seventy-five percent of what he does is rummaged through my things.” She shot him a pointed look. 
“I’m curious.” 
“Your nosy.” The girl set the doll down in her lap on top of her sewing kit, she then reached up and carefully pulled out her earrings. She let out a sigh, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders as she slipped the jewelry inside the doll. 
She then looked up at Adrien expectantly. 
He stared at her for a long moment with blank eyes, blinking rapidly before finally asking. “Why’d you bring the Chat doll with you?” 
Marinette’s cheeks tinted pink as she looked back down at the doll, she put some of the stuffing back in, that way the two miraculouses would be seperated. “I have my reasons.” She whispered. 
“Sometimes when she’s trying to think things out she’ll talk to it.” Tikki supplied from Marinette’s shoulder. “The whole identity thing has been on her mind a lot lately so she’s been talking to him quite a bit.” 
Marinette’s face grew more red as Plagg laughed. “That’s hilarious!” The creature cackled. “This one just confesses his undying love to the poster he has on the backside of his closet door.” 
“Okay!” Adrien stood quickly, slipping his ring off his finger and placing it in Marinette’s waiting palm. “Let’s just hurry up and go get lunch.” He turned away from her quickly, trying to hide his own blush behind his hand. 
Marinette silently slipped it into the doll, then replaced the rest of the stuffing. She was quick to thread a needle with some black thread then set to work repairing the doll. 
Both Kawami’s watched the girl closely. “This is actually a pretty sound idea pigtails.” Plagg muttered. “Unless of course someone obsessed with dolls get akumatized. But Hawkmoth should be out of range so, we should be fine.” 
Marinette hummed in agreement as she finished her stitch. “Good as new.” She whispered, twisting to set the doll in the middle of the small nest Tikki had made. 
“Should we be worried that there aren’t any heroes in Paris right now?” The god of creation asked, unknowingly inciting panic in her chosen. 
“Oh my god.” Marinette’s eyes widened. 
“I didn’t have a lot of time before I left,” Adrien turned. “But I was able to get a message to Master Fu with Plagg’s help. So he knows we’re both gone.” Adrien stuck his hands into his pockets. 
“If there’s trouble, then he’ll probably just call on one of the random holders you’ve been using every now and again.” Plagg added. “But I doubt Hawkmoth will try anything, and if he did, he'd probably call the akuma back once you two didn’t show.” 
“That’s true.” Tikki whispered. “Not much use terrorizing Paris when the objects your after aren’t even there. Still though, now that you two are aware of one another’s identities, I implore you to avoid being out of the city at the same time in the future. Just in case.” 
“Well it’s not like I planned on leaving.” Adrien said. “I found out like barely an hour before I boarded the plane to come here.” 
“Just a tip for the future.” Tikki added. 
“Are we watching Yo soy Betty, la fea?” The three looked back at the nest where Plagg had obviously made himself comfortable. “I love that show!” He looked up at Tikki excitedly. “Where are we right now?” He asked. 
The Kawami sighed. “He’s staying here then?” She asked, looking between the two humans. 
“We figured you’d both want to stay close to your miraculouses.” Marinette explained. 
“And we also thought that since you two hadn't seen one another in awhile, you’d want to hang out and catch up.” He smiled sheepishly. “Do you mind?” 
Tikki let out a small huff and rolled her eyes at the excited kitten rolling around in her nest. “I suppose not.” She slowly flew down and situated herself next to him. “But no cheese in my nest.” 
“Ahh! Tikki! That’s not fair!” 
It was so strange. Chloé Bourgeois, one of the most difficult and least liked people on the planet, a self given title, had only made two friends throughout her entire life. The first was Adrien, the two had known one another practically since they were in the womb. Literally. Emilie was pregnant on her wedding day, not that anyone save for maybe four people alive knew that, and Chloé was conceived after the reception. They’d always been pushed together, the girl’s mother lobbying hard for a relationship to bloom between the two. But Adrien was her oldest and dearest friend.
Sabrina was her second friend. She’d met her when she was ten. Chloé had made a girl at the park cry. The way Sabrina stared at her, eyes wide, drinking in the scene and raw emotions of anger and sadness radiating off the other two was one of the creepiest things Chloé has ever seen. So of course, she had yelled at Sabrina, she didn’t like the way she was being ogled at. The next day Sabrina had transferred into Chloé’s class. The ginger latched onto her, becoming a constant companion. Until Chloé tried to be better, then Sabrina moved on to Lila. 
Yet, in under twenty-four hours Jon Kent had proclaimed himself her new best friend. She’d opened up to him more than anyone else she’d ever known, even her therapist of three years didn’t know as much about Chloé as this random boy from Kansas now did. And everytime she said something bad about herself he would correct her. Everytime she said something bad about someone else, he forced her to list three things she liked about them. She’d never known anyone like him. The strange spell he had over her was so confusing. She honestly had no idea how they had gotten here in such a short period of time. But she didn’t hate it.
She sat across from him at one of the circular tables in the Mode cafeteria, now dressed in her sweats with her hair up in a clip. The metallic makeup still decorating her face. Her lipstick stained the rim of the white mug she sipped her coffee from as she watched the boy across from her animatedly rant. 
“Seriously though!” Jon banged his fist against the table, making both of their trays of food shake. He had been ranting about flannel the whole time they’d been in line. At this point, Chloé didn’t think anything was going to get him to stop.
“Plenty of high end designers resent the material, it’s got a stench of the midwest and middle class reeking off of it.” She sat her cup down. “My mother finds it personally offensive. She’d probably disown me if she ever saw me in it.” 
Jon stared at her for a long moment, eyes wide and blank before he finally spoke. “I’m going to buy you so much flanel, what’s your favourite colors?”
“Gold, yellow, baby blue, and duke blue.” She crossed her arms. “Please God, don’t buy me anything. Especially flanel.” 
“I’m gonna get you a yellow and blue one.” Chloé let out a large groan as the Kansan beamed at her. 
“Hey Chlo.” She looked up, making eye contact with one Adrien Agreste. His smile radiating that pure sunshine he was famous for. “Hi Jon.” 
“Hey Adrien.” Jon smiled back, sticking a spoonful of chocolate pudding in his mouth. 
“Mind if we join you?” Chloé’s eyes immediately flicked behind the blonde where Marinette Dupain-Cheng stood, partially hidden behind the tall model, tray in her hand.
“Course not!” Jon chimed after a thick swallow. “Got a big table because I figured all six of us would want to sit together.” Adrien walked around the table to sit between Chloé and Jon, while Marinette sat between the two on the other side. 
Chloé quickly noted the lack of earrings on her person. It was strange seeing her without them, she honestly couldn’t remember the last time she saw the girl’s naked lobes. Her eyes then darted to Adrien’s hand, now resting on the table. No ring. 
They must have stashed the jewelry away somewhere safe before coming down. She was more than a little relieved that an anxiety inducing scene like the one this morning would not be repeated. She swore her heart rate quickened every time she saw the two slip their miraculouses into one another’s hands. But the idea of two of the most powerful things on earth being left unguarded somewhere in the Mode building was somewhat unsettling as well. She’d just have to trust in the two’s intuition she supposed. Not much else she could do anyway.
“So, what were the two of you chatting about?” Adrien asked, breaking the silence that had fallen over the table as the four began to eat their meals. 
“Oh.” Jon perked up. “I was just talking about how I was gonna buy Chloé a whole bunch of flannels.” He smiled at her cheekily. “Then we can wear them around and match so everyone knows we’re best friends.”
“Definitely not.” Chloé snapped quickly as Adrien began to laugh. 
“I think I would honestly give you one of my kidneys if you got this girl into flannel.” The blonde continued to laugh as he began cutting into what looked like chicken. 
“It’s not the worst material in the world.” Marinette said, voice somewhat quiet. “It’s just hard to work with when your designing for people willing to pay millions.”
“Exactly what I said!” Chloé shouted. 
“You said it smelled like the midwest and middle class.” Jon corrected.
“Yeah,” Chloé crosses her arms. “It’s the smell that makes it difficult to sell to millionaires.”
“I don’t even want to think of what my father would do if he saw me in flannel.” Adrien added before taking a bite of his food.
“Geez, what is with y’all’s parents?” Jon asked. “My dad wouldn’t have the slightest problem with me wearing flannel.”
“Does your dad regularly wear flannel though Jon?” Chloé asked. 
“Well yeah,” the boy stirred his spoon around what remained in his small bowl of pudding. “But my mom kind of hates the fabric. But she doesn’t get mad at me when I wear it!”
“Ah, but you see young one,” Marinette interjected. “Your parents care about you.”
“My father cares!”
“That you look good.” Chloé snorted. “Seriously Adri, it’s okay that your dad doesn’t love you. In fact, I think I’ve been doing much better since I accepted the fact that my mother can’t stand me.” The table went silent, Chloé preoccupied with her coffee didn’t noticed until she had set her cup back down. “What?” She asked, looking around at the concerned faces surrounding her. 
“Chlo…” Adrien reached out for her hand. 
“She cares Chloé.” Marinette whispered. “On some level, all parents care about their kids.” 
“She’s right.” Jon added. “She may not show it but your mother loves you Chloé.” 
The blonde rolled her eyes, pulling her hand away from Adrien’s. “It’s really not that big of a deal anymore. I’ve accepted it and I’ve moved on.” She turned her face away from the group. 
“Chloé-” Marinette was interrupted by a tray being slammed down on the table. They all looked up to see Damian who was pulling a chair up and sitting down between Marinette and Jon. 
“I hate this.” He said, monotone voice laced with rage. 
Colin quietly pulled up a seat, opting to sit between Adrien and Chloé. “Blood pressure dear.” The redhead mentioned, picking up a white mug that fizzed like a soft drink and taking a long sip from it.
“Hate what?” Marinette asked. 
“This.” Damian’s eyes squinted, hands extending. “Did Enda tell you what she did?” He asked. 
Marinette turned forward, fork poking at the pasta on her tray. “I think we’ve already established that Aunt E shared very little of what was happening during this trip with me.” 
“Alexander Galbaki has these fraternal twins in his family.” Damian began to explain, fist clenched around his fork. “I forget their names, it’s like russian or german though. But their our age, a girl and a boy who are never seen not with one another.” 
“I’m betting on a twincest situation.” Colin piped up, setting his cup down. 
“Does that happen in real life?” Jon asked. “I thought it was just a fanfiction thing?” 
Colin shook his head. “We looked up their instagram while Titus ate, they are like all over each other, it’s seriously nauseating.” 
“What do these creeps have to do with Edna?” Chloé asked, leaning forward and resting her chin on her fist. 
“Edna decided to have Marinette and I be her models for this after she found out that Galbaki is releasing a collection the same night as her runway!” Damian threw his hands out in front of him, his face clearly expressing that they should all be understanding his frustration. 
“And the twins are headlining it?” Adrien finally asked. 
“YES!” he screamed. 
“Oh.” Marinette nodded. “She wants us to compete with them.” She nodded a little faster. “That makes sense.” She twirled some pasta on to her fork. “Why is this pissing you off?” 
“She could have told us!” he stabbed his fork into his salad. “Seriously! If I had known I had a target on this trip I would have researched in advance.” He grumbled as he shoved his fork into his mouth. 
“Vanya and Demitri.” Colin sounded, Damian’s phone in his hand. “See it’s gross,” He showed the phone to Chloé, the screen displaying two very pale teenagers with platinum blonde hair. The girl was in a very skimpy white bikini her long hair straightened and reaching her butt, black headband holding back her bangs and a pair of high end sunglasses covering her eyes. She was seated on the lap of another very pale teenager in a pair of black swim trunks. His almost white hair swept back, sunglasses covering his eyes as well. One of his hands was weaved around the girl’s waist, the other resting on her thigh. 
“Okay ew.” Chloé mumbled as Colin shifted to show Adrien the picture. 
“I mean,” The blonde scratched at his head. “Yeah, that doesn’t look great but it’s just one picture-” 
“They are all over each other in pretty much every post.” Colin interjected. “It’s gross.” 
“So stop looking at it.” Marinette stated matter-of-factly. “No one is making you insta stalk them.” 
“We need to do research!” Damian growled. “I need to be ready to take them down at a moments notice.” 
“Dames is just pissy because Demitri is taller than him.” Colin said with a roll of his eyes. 
“He is a freakishly tall human being!” 
Colin leaned over to Chloé. “He used to be like way short when he was little, even though he’s shot up like a weed he’s still got short man syndrome.” He whispered, the girl quickly covered her mouth to stifle her giggle. 
“Speaking of insta stalking.” Chloé said through her breathy laugh. “Have we gotten any more updates on the drama back home?” She asked, question pointed towards Adrien. “Last I heard Lila was telling everyone she was Damian’s secret girlfriend?” 
“Has she upgraded form unrequited love to secret girlfriend?” Marinette asked, eyebrow cocked as she leaned forward on her elbow. 
“Something like that.” Adrien breathed tiredly. “According to Nino the girls have been asking none stop questions and the story just keep growing.”
“Growing how?” Colin asked, eyes narrowing. 
“Well, for one she’s been referring to him exclusively as Dami-Bear.” 
“Wow.” Damian stabbed at his salad again. “I hate that.” he shoved it into his mouth. 
“And she also told a very long and dramatized story about the two of you in Grease last summer.” Adrien glanced to Colin and then Damian before his eyes landed on his tray of food. “Nino didn’t repeat verbatim, but it apparently wasn’t really family friendly.” 
“Oh I’m gonna break her nose.” Chloé jumped when Colin’s fork snapped in half.
“Blood pressure darling.” Damian quipped, receiving only the dirtiest of looks from his boyfriend. 
“It could be worse.” Jon held up his hand, like he was trying to calm Colin from across the table. “She could be posting this stuff online or something, at least it’s contained to their class, right?” 
“I don't know.” Marinette hummed. “She’s got a lot of followers in school, not just our class.” She looked down at her food, brows knitted together. “Dames, you have international coverage, right?” 
“That might just be the dumbest question you’ve ever asked me.” 
The bluenette rolled her eyes. “Can I texted some friends from your phone?” She asked dryly. Damian only shrugged, gesturing across the table to Colin who still had the smartphone. The boy was quick to pass it over. 
UNKNOWN: You arent gonna believe this
New Contact: ??? 
New Contact: who?
UNKNOWN: Its Marinette.
UNKNOWN: dont freak out
UNKNOWN: but Im textng from Damian Wayne’s Phone
Marinette held out the phone, leaning close to Damian and smiled wide. The boy looked up at his phone, camera app open and focusing on him and his cousin. His face remained expressionless but he held up a simple peace sign as she snapped the photo. Marinette then quickly sent it off to the number she was texting. 
UNKNOWN: proof
New Contact: GIRL?!?!?!
New Contact: WTF!?!!?

Photoshoot Part 2! I don’t know why I thought I could fit this all into one part. Like seriously, what was I thinking? I also miss calculated how long these three sections would be, the next Incredibles Cameo will be in the next part for sure. Writing has been kind of hard this week but my mind has been racing with ideas. So buckle up y’all cause there are now some big plot twists that have wormed their way into my mind and have been embedded in this fic. I’ll be curious to see if anyone can see them coming ;) Thank you all so much for the comments! They always make me smile and get me motivated to write more! As always if you have any questions about the story or AU feel free to ask, I love getting them and will happily answer any question you got! And if you want to be tagged let me know! 
Can y’all guess who Mari is texting?
