🐺House of Alphas Chapter 50: Mt. Everest🐺

(Jujutsu Kaisen Omegaverse )

Summary: Waking up in a world that was not your own was problematic enough. Being the villainess was another. However, the possessive alphas might take the cake.

...

Pulling your hands, Toji brought them to his lips and kissed them. “Tengen, I got so lucky with you.” he murmured with his eyes closed.

You're heart seriously can’t swell anymore. Your face warmed up as you smiled brightly, “I feel just as fortunate to have such an amazing, handsome, strong, daddy.”

“Okay, now you are just oiling me up.”

“What?” You release a little giggle, cupping his face so you can pull him close, leaning across the table so you give him sweet kisses. Speaking between each peck. “It’s-all-true-.”

Toji snickered with a toothy grin, “Is that right?”

“Ahuh~.” the next time your lips met it was much longer and not as controlled. There was more tongue and more greed involved. The start of something more. It took your breath away but you were fine with it- got lost in it. Twisting and panting in lustful need. You were pressed into the table trying to get as close as you could get to your alpha but it wasn't close enough. You wanted to feel him.

Toji pulled back from your lips with a little smack. His forehead rests against yours. You glance down to see him clenching his hand, trembling. Oh…You can see now-how could you be so silly? When he stopped you earlier... It wasn't just the idea of finishing the date… he’s scared. You can smell it. The scent of uncertainty and fear.

He doesn't want to hurt you.

“Daddy…” you breathe kissing his cheek. “…Daddy I need you…” You climb on top of the table knocking off everything else. Sitting upon your knees. “Please.”

“Baby…” he bites his lip hard as you grab his hand, pulling it under your dress. Pushing his fingers in your soaked panties.

“See? Do you feel? Do you feel how wet your princess is?”

“Oh fuck…” Toji rolled his eyes as you rocked on top of his hand. “Sh-show me baby… show me how bad you need it.”

You placed your other hand upon his shoulder twisting your fingers in the fabric as you rode yourself to orgasm without anything but his fingers pressing into your clothed cunt. You let out a scream as you came, trembling and gasping.

“Tengen- “ Your alpha was stunned by how quickly and how much you came from just that. Your juices dripping upon his hand. “You really want me that bad?”

“Need- I need you.” You were pulled down into his lap, the two of you falling backward with each other into the hull of the boat. It was cushioned and padded with blankets like everything else. You could smell his scent all over it like he took the time to make everything as comfortable as possible for you.

You smashed your lips into his, kissing him with the deepest passion. You could feel him reciprocate such feelings.

You were pulling at his shirt, buttons flying as you ripped it open. His hands tugged at your thong stretching it down and off your legs. Once they were gone you felt his middle finger push into your pussy, his other hand spreading your lips so he could plunge and thrust inside.

You shivered on top of him moaning against his lips until you couldn't take it. You let out a mouth-open moan choking for air.

“You're squeezing my finger so tight doll, can you handle two fingers?” he rasped next to your ear.

“Ah~ yes- .” You nodded as he added another, pushing it in right alongside the other. You cried, arching your back.

“Another? Two can’t be enough, look at the way you are shaking your hips.”

“More-ah!” your head dropped to his chest, three of his fingers now sliding in and out of you. You were so sensitive, mind going numb to everything but the pleasure your alpha was giving you. You drooled upon his chest, groaning loudly as another orgasm was fast approaching.

Toji pet your hair with his other hand, “Look at me, look at me when you cum.”

You lifted your head, saliva sticking from your lips to his chest. He cupped your face with the most adoring expression. Wiping the mess you made with his thumb, but as it passed your mouth you greedily licked at his thumb like before. Sticking your tongue out so he could explore.

“Such a lewd princess-hm- driving me crazy-” He moaned along with you, building you up to the top until-

“Mmmh~!” your eyes fluttered back body tensing with the shock of pleasure.

“Hmm…” Toji hummed appreciating the way you clenched around his fingers.

You slipped off his thumb with a plop, kissing down his chest as you spoke. “My mouth, let me get you wet.”

You kept your gaze on your alpha. His jaw tensed as he watched you travel down his stomach, licking and kissing as you went. Unzipping his pants you dug out his massive length. You were scared of it before but now you weren't. You wanted to do this for Toji, for yourself. Something in you needed to be one with him.

“Ah-” Toji hissed as you licked his shaft. Going up and down, slobbering as much as you could. His cock throbbed with your touch, bubbling at the tip with cum.

It made you wet watching your alpha, the way he panted heavily, biting his lip until it was bruised, running his hands into his sweaty hair, all of it made you dizzy. You were loving it. He threw his head back when you licked up his cum, following it to the source. You sucked on him, swirling your tongue around before trying to take him down. You barely made it anywhere before his fat tip lodged in your throat and you couldn't even breathe through your nose. You felt like your damn jaw was dislocating- seriously you gotta start working that jaw. You didn't let the moment get ruined, instead, you pulled back and spat on his dick making the alpha growl.

“Fucking hell- do it again baby.”

You did as you were told, spitting up more saliva as you ran your hands over his cock. He released another sound that sounded like a damm lion's roar. That was the first you heard your alphas make a noise that was scary- but at the same time enticing.

“You’re so dirty-” He flew up snatching his shirt off so he could wipe your filthy mouth. He then spun the two of you around so fast you thought you had whiplash. Throwing his shirt- your eyes followed it as it flew over the side of the boat and landed in the water.

“Uh…”

“Shit…”

“You really are bad with flinging your shirt.”

“Too focused on you girl…” He chuckled. “Who’s fault is that?”

You giggled as you reached for him, “I'll take that blame… if you give me your cock…”

His body tensed up a bit, he curled over your form dick in hand as he swirled the tip at your entrance. “Are you ready for me? You think you can handle it?”

“Yes, daddy… I'm ready…”

Tfe skyfire x starscream

I'm actually gonna draw from some previous source material we've made up here, and say that the bitties in question are the jettwins. They're not Skyfire's sparklings, but he's the one that steps up to raise them.

The seekers are all on the run and, if I'm being honest, have probably vacated the entire North American continent. GHOST isn't an international organization, after all, and flight makes travelling and escape so much easier than groundbound mecha like Tarantulas, for example. They've gone somewhere that's pretty much unreachable by humans: the highest point on the planet. Mt. Everest. The temperatures are nothing compared to deep space flight, and there's plenty of wind and solar energy for them to harness to get an energon synthesizer going.

They've been living on the dl for months and building up an actual base for themselves at the peak, when Starscream's newly rigged together scanners pick up a very peculiar signal under the melting ice caps of earth's poles. Looks like a cybertronian cache of sorts! They head out immediately, before anyone else can snipe the findings. Who knows what it could be? It could be incredibly useful, be it medical supplies or something that might be able to get them permanently off this Primus forsaken rock.

You know what happens here. They find Skyfire in cryosleep beneath the ice: with everything on this planet thawing, they were finally able to get an actual read on him despite being here for so long. Starscream is... god. There's so many emotions at once he doesn't even know what to call it. He's relieved, he's overjoyed, he's terrified, he's angry. They excavate him in a hurry and search for any equipment he may have lost at the time of the crash, but it's all beyond repair.

Skyfire is incredibly disoriented. He's so confused, he's so dizzy and his audials are ringing incessantly and why does Starscresm look so different? For him, it's only been a couple kliks since he got the warning that there was a critical failure in his systems and then he was falling. He blacked out, and now he's here. He's so sore though, and none of his systems are functioning properly, and Starscream is damn near hysterical that it's clear he's missed a lot. They get him back to their little camp, get him some energon, let him rest and decompress. The twins are handed off to Skywarp and Nova so the two reunited lovebirds can have a chance to talk. Starscream tells Skyfire the full story, not overwhelming him with details but all the main points. What happened after his disappearance, the whole mess with the war, earth's revolving circus of pitslag, GHOST, and finally... the bitties.

Skyfire doesn't even mind that they aren't his. Starscream suffered so much carrying them, having them forced on him, but is doing everything in his power to love and raise them properly. Sky's an overgrown lovesick puppy and adores Starscream for all that he is, and he falls in love with the twins the first moment he gets to hold them. They're so tiny compared to him, but so wiggly and curious. They're attempting to climb all over him, nomming on his fingers and poking at his face with their tiny baby hands, giggling and chirping as they clamber up on his head because Look How High!!!!! He passes the infant vibe check with easy and the sparklings are immediately smitten with them. Skyfire fondly remarks that they're beautiful, just like their carrier, and quietly mentions that... he knows it's been awhile, but if Starscream will still have him, he'd love to still be with him. Starscream just smiles and calls him an idiot: as if he'd let him get away!

Skyfire is such an incredible sire to his adopted sparklings. Literally the best they ever could have ended up with. Loves them like his own, so attentive and sweet and patient. He honestly coddles them even more than Starscream does, and has such a hard time telling them no 🤭 he hasn't built up an immunity to puppy dog eyes yet, so he's always sneaking them extra treats. He loves to hold them, they fit so perfectly in his arms, he's always volunteering to hold them for naptime rather than laying them down in their little crib. Starscream is happier than Skywarp and Nova have seen him in a long time, and the whole group of them are a perfect happy little family 💖

UnderInfection Prologue, Pt 1... "The Mountain"

.......

Verdana woke up just as excited as ever. "Today is the day!" she thought as she raced to get ready. She ran down the stairs to the kitchen where the sweet smells of breakfast filled the air. Her face lit up even more as Sans handed her a fresh plate of toast and sliced melon.

"your favorite." Sans smiled, "made just the way you like it."

"French toast AND honeydew??" Verdana exclaimed, giving Sans a hug, "You guys are best!!"

"All for our favorite sister!" Papyrus joined in, making his own plate of food. Verdana gave him a shy smile, running a finger briefly through her long violet hair.

"today's a pretty big day for ya, ain't it?" Sans asked as he sat next to Verdana at the table, "you and your friend are goin' to the mountain right?"

"Mhm!" Verdana replied. She started quickly on her toast, though she was in a hurry, she made sure to savor every bite.

"Well, just be sure to be careful" Papyrus said slightly concerned, "I know Sans has been teaching you to teleport but there's really no telling what could happen. You could get lost or injured or-"

"I'll be fine," she gave him a nervous smile. Papyrus was always so protective of her, though she would be lying if she said she didn't appreciate it.

"Well, just be careful" Sans said.

After Verdana finished her breakfast, she walked up to the door, giving her two brothers one final wave of goodbye. She closed the door and took a short breath. "Mt. Ebott." she mumbled, trying to focus. Before she knew it, she felt a quick rush, and then... she had arrived at the base of the mountain.

"WOAH!!" someone shouted, letting out a long sigh, "PLEASE warn me next time you do that!" Conner brushed off his shirt as Verdana giggled. At roughly 16, Conner was just about three years younger than she was, although he seemed to make up for just as many or more inches in height. The two met when they were kids, and ever since, they'd been best friends. Conner was the only human Verdana had ever known, and she wouldn't be surprised if she was the only skeleton he knew.

"At least send like, a text or something??" Conner exclaimed; once again Verdana giggled.

"So where to?" she asked, Conner gave her a wide smile. "So I was thinking, you know all those people who hike towards the underground? Around the pit?"

"Oh, yeah! Sans said it's one of his favorite spots!" Verdana smiled

"Well I was thinking... what if we hike to those woods around the pit?? More near the base? No one ever goes there! Think of all the cool stuff we could find!" Conner was always more adventurous than Verdana, and in a way, that was a good thing. He was always trying new things and going on these crazy adventures that would pull her out of her comfort zone, and in the end everything always seemed to play out ok.

"Well...alright!" Verdana replied, though she was a little sad they wouldn't be visiting the underground like she originally thought, maybe they could do that another time. Both Conner and Verdana were grateful for the cool weather since it took them so long to get to the area Conner mentioned. It was just near the hole the human fell through, though instead of climbing up, Conner started walked left along the mountain's side, entering a forest filled with trees. Light just barely poked through the thick branches, the way getting darker as the light struggled to fight off the shadows. It also seemed to get colder and even a bit damp.

"Uhhh... Conner? Are you sure we're going the right way?" Verdana asked with a shutter, nervously playing with her long purple hair. There was something strange about where they were heading, though she couldn't put her phalange (finger) on it.

"Huh?" Conner looked back at her, "Of course it is, look at all this! Come on V, live a little!" he teased, lightly nudging her.

"Conner," she moaned, blushing a light shade of violet, "I TOLD you not to call me that! It's embarrassing!"

"What's so embarrassing about it? It's WAY easier than saying your full name."

"And that's the problem! Sans started calling me that when I was eight because I had so much trouble saying my FULL name out loud!" she crossed her arms and puffed her cheekbones, giving Conner an annoyed look. "Plus hearing you say it makes me feel like a child" she mumbled.

"Pfffft- Come on Verdana, you and I BOTH know you're WAY more childish than I am!" he laughed pointing at the bright pink shirt and casual jeans-shorts she was wearing.

"This isn't childish, it's cute! At least that's what my brother said. And at least it's nicer than what your wearing" she giggled pointing to his loose jacket and slightly messy jeans.

"As if! You should know this look is currently in style right now!" he joked back "Right up there with all of those nerdy video game and anime shirts you have!"

"Hey! Those aren't nerdy!" Verdana laughed, lightly shoving him. The two laughed for a little while longer until the laughter was cut short as a sinkhole caved under Conner's feet, causing him to fall deep into a hole.

"CONNER!!" Verdana screamed in fright.

--------

I'm so happy to finally share the first "page/chapter/part/whatever (lol)" with all of you!! I had so much fun with this, especially the banter between Conner and Verdana! I also had fun with some of the details, I figured since this is written in Verdana's perspective, I should put some skeletal references, after all, Verdana isn't too informed about human lingo ^^'

Just like with the teaser, my goal is if this gets around 10-15 reactions, I'll post the next part 😉

So be sure to react and follow me for more art, updates and more stories!!

Let's hope Conner's ok! I wonder what could be in that hole..... stay tuned for more!

Return to Sender

Summary: A sentient Gold protagonist suddenly in the Trainer House finds Cal, the default battler, showing him and telling him something strange.

CW: Sentient game characters, limited speech forced by dialogue, hugging without permission, implied but not confirmed death/moving on, mild body horror (ie: disappearing into light.), mourning.

I knew, somewhat, that I had a player. They guided me through the game and I guided them through the world of Pokémon. We tackled Johto and Kanto but on my own I still could walk around. Don’t ask me how it works. When the game’s on I’m back where I was, completely the same, but I can travel to my heart’s content. Which isn’t too bad to me. So stumbling upon the Trainer House all by myself was pretty fun. It wasn’t eye catching to the player, I guess.

But I found myself face to face with me. Me! Gold! Me! He was me in stature, my face, my hat, maybe even my Pokémon. I only had Meganium, the annoying guy with red hair that came around stole Typhlosion, but this guy- he had Feraligatr too! He only said one thing before we battled.

"I traveled out here just so I could battle you."

Dunno if I should’ve been flattered or not given that he stole my face- but we did have a fun battle. My team and I were exhausted but we pushed through. Somehow it popped into my head that his name was Cal, as it usually did.

"I lost… Darn…"

I couldn’t help but chuckle, darn right he did. Tomorrow I’d have to come back. And so I did. Though it was a little funny. Cal fought with the same three, but they were not fully evolved, their middle stage. The next? First stage. They weren’t a challenge at all, but he always said the same thing, which I was used to.

He traveled here to battle me, from where I didn’t know. Darn, darn, darn. It was fun nonetheless. I’m a battler through and through as a trainer. Wouldn’t be a Champion of two regions if I didn’t.

The strangest part though was when he brought a Hoppip. I know, they’re cute and adorable, but this wasn’t an ordinary Hoppip. It wasn’t rosy. It still looked like a Hoppip but it… just wasn’t. It wasn’t a rare Pokémon, it didn’t sparkle like one. It was black-furred (like a Snorlax for any comparison) and its ears were off. It was as plump as a normal one.

“Where’d you find this?” I asked.

"I traveled out here just so I could battle you."

“Hm. Special Kanto Hoppip I haven’t found yet?”

"I traveled out here just so I could battle you."

“Dang it! Okay, okay. Weird Johto variant?”

"I lost… Darn…”

“Yeah, I’m lost too buddy— Wait, what.” In between my pacing to think, he responded, sort of! Kind of! It was a change of something between the two things he said! …Not really, but it changed, he only said that after battle. We weren’t battling, he had sent that out on his own. Maybe I should’ve taken that as a red flag.

“Can you… talk to me?” I asked.

"I lost…"

I interrupted, shaking my hand in Cal’s face, “Nuh-nuh-no. No. Make coming out to meet me ‘yes,’ and losing ‘no.’” He made no flinch, he wasn’t really an expressive guy. Still, his mouth opened once again.

"I traveled out here just so I could battle you."

I think my eyes lit up as I shouted, “You’re like me! You’re like me!”

"I traveled out here just so I could battle you."

I didn’t care, I just hugged onto Cal tightly. He didn’t seem to mind, not saying a word. I giggled up a storm. He was like me! Sure, he looked like me, but I could tell he wasn’t me. I think he knew that too, but that was just intuition’s sake.

“You’re like me!” I started to sound like a broken record like him. The black furred Hoppip at his feet. I had an idea.

“I’ll see you later, Cal!” I said as I ran out the door. My player was back for a little while, and we adventured some more together, this time to Mt Silver to challenge Red again, but as soon as I was free, I ran straight to the boxes. A Hoppip’s ball in my arms when I arrived back at the Trainer House.

“Cal! Cal!” I nearly yelled, “Look!” I released Hoppip and it made its signature cry. It bobbed up and down towards Cal. Cal, as if on command, released his Hoppip. They floated next to each other.

“They’re friends!” I giggled.

"I traveled out here just so I could battle you."

“You must really like Hoppip, huh?”

"I traveled out here just so I could battle you."

“I will take that as a yes.”

"Darn…"

“And I’ll take that as a laugh!” I chuckled back.

And just like that we showed our Pokémon to each other. Cal’s Pokémon looked fine sometimes but other times they looked really odd. I showed him the Beasts one time and he showed me some… dog like critters? They were funny looking but they were sweet. Different to cat-like Pokémon the Beasts seemed to be. They were cute nonetheless.

I never admitted it to Cal, and I treated them nicely, of course— but I didn’t like the straw doll and cat with the bells. They made me feel funny in my gut. I couldn’t shake the feeling all day. Later my player decided to join in the Bug Catching Contest. Nick and I went head to head as always, but he won this time. I think it was that bad feeling from beforehand.

I couldn’t look away from his winnings. He was always fun to battle afterwards, he had the Kanto starters, but I just couldn’t this time. I visited Cal nonetheless.

“Dunno what came over me.” I lamented.

"I lost… Darn…"

“I know! I could face Cooltrainer Gwen afterwards but Nick? I couldn’t do it. I’m not even mad about losing!” I huffed into my hoodie, “I dunno, Cal. It’s weird.”

"I…"

He had been trying to remix his words into something we could use for easier communication. He didn’t do paper. I tried mail. I tried. He only really moved to battle or release his Pokémon, in which I wasn’t in the mood for. I just wanted to vent. Though I could tell that was his way of a sorry.

“Nothin’ to be sorry about.” I sighed, “I guess I’m just out of kilter.”

"Darn…"

“H-hey, out of kilter isn’t old-fashioned!”

"Darn…"

“And neither is pardon! It’s polite!”

Cal kept laughing for a little while, but that broke me out of my funk.

On another day, I had a trip to the Ruins of Alph by my player. They… were not the smartest with slide puzzles. Believe me, I had peeked beforehand, bored out my mind when they rage quit, but I was keeping it a surprise! Brushing my hand past the Pokémon carved in the puzzle gave me an idea. It kind of sucked to fall down every time but at least I didn’t scrape my knees. The Ruins always make me feel sad for reason, but I had a mission.

Catching all the Unown under the sun, I had come up with some sort of communication. I didn’t even care that I would have to catch them all again over and over.

“Okay, Cal. You just gotta send your buddy over. Y means yes, N means no, I is an I don’t know, W is for laughing, C is can’t answer with these, and B is for battle! Didja catch that?”

Cal released an Unown all his own. It was an A. It floated over to N.

“…Okay, smart aleck.” He laughed with the communication we set up anyways.

Either way, I sat next to him. Cal didn’t sit. I supposed that we’d have to get used to this a little more than before. More guessing on my end than anything. But this might’ve made the guessing game easier? I was hoping anyways.

“So, where do we start?”

I don’t know.

“Ehhh… That’s fair. What’s a good conversation starter. I know your name, do y’know mine? I just kinda guessed you knew too.”

No to an I don’t know, to a yes. Weird combination honestly. I told him anyways.

“My player calls me Gold! Ah- shoot- do you know what a player is?”

Yes.

“Oh whew. Nobody really gets it, ha. I don’t feel lonely about it though.”

No? Er, I assumed it was a question anyways.

“Nope, I don’t feel lonely. Not with you anyways. You’re like me and I’m happy with that.”

He couldn’t answer.

“Ah, don’t worry about it. I’m just rambling, pardon.”

No.

“Not… pardon?”

Yes.

“Oh. Ohhh. I can ramble!” I laughed. He did too.

“I guess it can be lonely by myself but I have Pokémon when my player isn’t there. Guess that’s not ‘people’ but there’s a bond, yeah?”

Yes.

“I think even the people I like, even if they don’t respond as good as you, I have some sort of a bond with though. Like, my mom for instance, she—“

No.

“…No?”

No. No. No. The A Unown rammed into it multiple times. Not hard but it was starting to worry me!

“Oh jeez, I’m so sorry- I didn’t know moms were a sore spot!”

I don’t know. No. Can’t answer. Battle.

“Hey- Calm down-“ I stood up, putting my hands on his shoulders, “Take a deep breath.” He didn’t breathe to my knowledge but he slowly calmed down.

A much slower battle, a much slower can’t answer.

“You’re trying to tell me something, but this is too limited?”

Yes.

“Darn six ball limit. I’d bring the whole alphabet if I could.”

"I lost… Darn…" Cal said, bumping the Unown to can’t answer and battle again. No then battle.

“No battle. Okay, okay.” I stepped away from Cal to take a look, fist on my mouth in thought.

"I lost… Darn…" Battle.

“You’re not talking about a battle, but you… lost something?”

Yes.

“What was it?”

No. Can’t answer. Battle.

“Its a someone?”

Yes. This was slow… sad. I couldn’t help but frown for him.

“Does it have something to do with my mom?”

No. Yes.

“Kind of like my mom? Uh, use C for sorta in this instance.”

Sort of. Yes.

“Sort of… another family member?”

Yes.

“Okay, stop me if I get it right. Dad, sister, brother—” A quick yes. “A brother. You lost your brother? I’m so sorry…”

Battle. Though in this instance it might have been brother. I couldn’t tell. I just wrapped Cal in a hug.

“That sucks. I’m sorry, man. I’m here for you.” He never reached for me, but his hoodie felt so cold, warmed by my body heat. In turn, my own heat warmed me.

I didn’t pry him for any heavy stuff for a while. Just Pokémon. We had fun poking out the differences in Pokémon, his least important Unown for laughing replaced by the Pokémon I showed him. Cal’s Marill was pink! My Azumarill twitched its ears confusedly as it was a bold blue.

It didn’t last for long however, our casual chatting and battling. Back to the grind, I think they call it. Another Nick encounter made me have that ill uneasy feeling again but that didn’t matter in the long run. My player had left poor Kenya in a PC for far too long. She had to be returned home! She had an important letter! …I don’t know what was in the letter, given it was just flower mail, but Kenya wasn’t ours! Glad that she was being returned eventually rather than… uh, never. Eventually was better.

“So, yeah, that’s what I did today. She’s back home. Actually saved after doing it too.” I chuckled back to Cal, “Kenya was so cute.”

No.

“No? You don’t think Spearow are cute?”

No response. Guess Cal couldn’t answer that way, actually, but didn’t want to confirm that he couldn’t. Yes, they are cute. Yes, they aren’t cute. No, they are cute. No, they aren’t cute. Bleh. Too confusing. I didn’t really blame him.

“Never mind. Kenya was happy to go back home too. That’s all to it, really.”

No.

“Okay, sorry, I’m confused.”

I don’t know. Can’t answer that.

"I lost… Darn…"

Wait a second. The gears turned in my head, as I not at all tactfully blurted out, “Is this like your missing brother?”

Yes. Yes.

“Oh- I’m sorry- did he have a Spearow?”

No.

“Fearow?”

No.

“His name was Kenya?”

A long pause. A signal for laughter. One yes, one no. I was kind of relieved he wasn’t mad at me for asking the sensitive stuff again. If it wasn’t Kenya…

“Is it Ken?”

Yes. Yes! Yes! It was Ken, it was Ken! That wasn’t my excitement, it was his, I could see it in a sparkle of Cal’s eyes. Shining with happiness about his brother. Wet with tears because his brother was gone. I think we had both come to the conclusion he wasn’t coming back. I don’t know why I could tell that. I only could. Holding someone in an embrace that couldn’t hug back no matter how much he tried moving from his spot but needed it nonetheless.

Somebody was gone. That wasn’t so easy to bounce back from. It’s not as if I hadn’t felt the same before, so I could empathize. Many Pokémon were slipped through my fingers and back into the wild of code. Usually because of the space in the box couldn’t keep it. They would be okay, though. They were released back into the wild to be reencountered again. Another human being though? That sucked. That sucked a lot. I didn’t think you could bring a person back.

It never passed through my mind I would experience a human loss like that. Never. I never even considered it. And yet it happened. We were talking like always and we battled, the player coming back and finding out today was already done for the daily battle. Confused, I guess, I could never tell what they were thinking, they reset the game. Which wasn’t bad, but I couldn’t tell what they were doing in the menu.

Mystery Gift wasn’t exactly my thing to see. But I could feel it bubbling in my chest. Like an Ice Berry had struck me to my core. There was something. I’m not sure what but it was something. Then I looked over to Cal. He was bright. He was glimmering. He was losing color. Instantly, I panicked, stepping back, gawking, not knowing what to do.

He looked at me. He looked at me. Physically, he had turned his head to me. That had never happened normally. That had never happened! He only looked at me for a battle! Cal looked down at his hands, growing brighter, whiter than hot metal, he blinked, not in pain. Just surprised. It was pretty surprising in hindsight, yet it was horrifying currently and afterwards to me.

“Cal, what’s- what’s happening?” I stumbled over my words as his legs started to disappear into that shimmering light.

He only smiled at me, adjusting his snapback to fit more snug on his head, “I traveled out here just to battle you, Hibiki? Er, Gold? You like Gold, right?”

Hesitantly, I nodded, making a squeak of “Uh-huh.”

“The name’s Hikaru, or Cal, like you called me. Thank you for showing me your adventure, Gold. I’m so happy it’s wonderful.” He grinned bright as his body was disappearing. No regrets. Content.

“Wait, what’s happening— Cal— Come back—“ I reached out, but I knew it was too late. He was gone. Sparkles in the air but Hikaru, Cal, whichever he preferred was gone. My friend was just gone.

Tears on my cheeks before I even knew it started to flow. My voice hiccuping with shaky sobs. But every game had to continue. I’m not sure how I saw her, or how she saw me, but a girl with blue hair and pigtails rushed to my side between my sobs. The words too choked up in my throat as we battled, but afterwards, back to my knees.

Her name was Kris. Someone like me. That was nice but it still didn’t shake the feeling. The horrid feeling of that bright glittery light. She didn’t understand.

Her Johto had no living Cal like me. She even tried my advice, when I got my bearings and accepted that Hikaru was gone. No avail. Her Cal didn’t communicate beyond two sentences. Her Cal didn’t show Pokémon that were impossible to find. (Maybe that’s why I saw her in the way I did. Kris said she saw me just fine.) I had to accept that Hikaru was different somehow along with being nothing but a shower of light that beamed at me and left.

It’s not that I didn’t enjoy her company, I love Kris, she’s a good friend. I gave her a Pikachu doll and she gave me a pink bed. It was cool, really. I just can’t help but wonder why he looked like me so. Why did he call me Hibiki? Why was his real name Hikaru? Was that his real name? I couldn’t shake the feeling it both was and wasn’t.

Why did Nick make my skin crawl nowadays? Why did I miss all the Pokémon that freaked me out that I had never seen before? Why did I suddenly find a distaste for my bike? I couldn’t ask Hikaru. I don’t think I can find out.

My mind wanders to the next life, funny, I know, but I daydream of it anyways. A world with more color than I could ever dream of. It was beautiful to me.

Yet the daydream is always interrupted by the nightmarish thoughts of the people I knew were like me would never be the same again.

Favourite 3 Colby moments in any Sam and Colby videos (including both boys personal channels)?

Favourite 3 Sam moments in any Sam and Colby videos (including their personal channels)?

I think I've had this ask for a while but it got lost in the shuffle that is my half broken inbox...my apologies!

Its really hard to pick a favorite moment for each boy, since thats such a broad term, so I just wrote down the first three that came to mind:

Colby

There is a moment in the first truth or drink video where Colby is just blotto, as the kids used to say back in my day - seeing double, feeling no pain, etc - and he and Sam both go to take a shot and he has a really tough time swallowing the thing down. He then looks over at Sam and goes, "Are you alright? Oh, you didn't drink yours yet," and idk, just something about his drunk ass still being all worried about the people around him, even when they should be worried about him cause he's about to faceplant into something is oddly endearing lol. (There's also a moment in that video where he is talking about something and he says, "We're gonna say something, and it's gonna come out of my mouth" and that's on my Mt Rushmore of things snc have said about their relationship that weirdly define the undefineable. Actually, that whole video is one big Colby moment after another, just watch the whole thing lol)

That time he macked it up with the ghost lady at the Mizpah (main channel video). I'm sorry, but the fact that he's in bed giggling with this ghost, flirting with her, rolling around in her essence like it's cat nip while everyone else is having the worst time ever? Hilarious and very Colby Brock-like to me.

Amber redoing his room and finding his old Kansas pillow, and him thinking that it was a major save to announce that the other pillows on the bed that he was using were left there by the previous homeowners. It's an interesting look into what a typical gross boy he is, while also showcasing how weirdly sentimental he is about stuff.

Sam:

I often think of how he got drunk with the babushkas at Chernobyl, cried about their perceived loneliness in life, and then passed out in the car on the way home. I think Chernboyl was a big life goal for him to explore, being fascinated with abandoned stuff...but I think he was genuinely surprised and touched by the humanity of it all and that made that video very sincere and gave it a lot more depth than you'd expect. Those babushkas taught him a lesson and hit him right in the heartstrings, and you could see that in that moment. Getting out-drank by 90 year old babushkas was just the icing on the cake.

I don't remember what video it was, but I distinctly remember a time where Colby asked Sam who he preferred between him and Kat and without hesitation this man went, "Well obviously you." Aside from that being stone cold towards his then-girlfriend (sorry lol), that was such a sweet little moment.

That car drifting video they made during 25x25. The voicemail 16 year old Sam left his mom: "Hey mom, I crashed my car. Ok, bye" like...that makes me laugh every time I come across that video. Ending it with this sad little "ok bye" just...come on, that's comedy.

oooooohhhh you wanna tell me about the various entities haunting the solisverse characters so so badddd.......

YAAAY ENTITIES. as of right now there are 4 of them :)

cheren is haunted by sea, bianca is haunted by breeze, dawn is haunted by dusk, and ethan is haunted by the goop (name pending) (but is it really)

I talk more about sea and breeze in this post. basically they take the form of 14 year old hilbert and hilda respectively (though some parts of sea are completely see-through and the background fills the blank space in) (and also breeze is always positioned so that sunrays conveniently shine to obscure the face) and are mostly representatives for cheren and bianca's grief over their lost childhood but are also like their own thing. complicated.

dusk takes the form of dawn's 11 year old self pre-distortion but completely silhouetted and all menacing looking. dusk dwells in dawn's shadow mostly and its a representative of everything dawn (thinks) she lost in the distortion realm most importantly her humanity. it usually just looms behind dawn but if shes having A Bad Day it can speak (the others dont really speak. seabreeze do have like distorted giggles that vaguely sound like the hiltwins but thats the extent of it) and mock all of her insecurities and is generally not fun to be around

the goop!!! is a neon multicolored sludge hallucination that ethan sees when hes having a particularly bad episode. unlike the other 3 who Kind of consciously know their respective entities are a little bit strange ethan only sees his during periods where his sense of reality is already extremely unstable so he just thinks thats just another thing that happens to him. and it kind of is but also holy shit dude. the goop is a representative of.. everything?????? its multicolored and fluid because its an unstable mixture of like all of ethans issues. the goop changes forms alot and isnt humanoid alot of the time but its go to humanoid form is red as he appeared on mt silver. take a wild guess why.

Yandere Edgeshot X Reader

A/N: Blood, gore, violence, and character death

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You were running trying to lose him. It was kind of hard to try to outrun the number 4 hero. You managed though because your quirk allowed you to turn invisible including your clothes. He got sight of you while he was getting interviewed by reporters and fans asking for pictures and autographs. The moment the two of you made eye contact you bolted. You had managed to escape him once and you weren’t sure you were going to be that lucky this time around. When you deemed yourself far enough you turned invisible avoiding alleyways and shortcuts. You knew taking shortcuts and alleyways was the worst thing to do at this moment, so you decided to stay in the crowded streets. You chanced a look behind you and saw from down the block that he was still busy, so you stood to the side avoiding crowds. The crowds would make it obvious too considering they’ll make a space big enough for a person which is something you didn’t need. You walked faster wanting to put as much space between the two of you as possible. You had PTSD and nightmares from the first time.

Flashback starts

You had always admired Edgeshot. He was your favorite hero next to All Might. You had managed to get an autograph and picture with All might and now your next goal was to get one with Edgeshot. You would see him sometimes with Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady patrolling and showing them the ropes and you would politely wave to them. You noticed that the more you frequented the area the more you ran into them and honestly, it was the time of your life.

“How often do you guys patrol this area.” You were talking with Kamui while Edgeshot and Mt. Lady had their own conversations.

“Not that often but, when we do, we always run into you so it’s not all bad.” You weren’t sure if in his own weird way he was trying to compliment you but, it worked. You giggled nudging him with your shoulder turning to see that Mt. Lady was talking but Edgeshot wasn’t looking at her. No, he was looking directly at Kamui Woods almost glaring at him and it was a bit weird.

“Edgeshot?” That seemed to have snapped him out of his daze. He looked at you his eyes softening a bit but, still having that hard edge to them

“Oh, don’t mind me I got kind of lost in thought there.” He tried to placate you by doing an eye grin but, it dropped as soon as it appeared. He glared at Kamui again making him squirm before turning his attention back to Mt. Lady. You glanced over at Kamui who looked at you and simply shrugged. He was just as confused as you as to what just happened but the both of you dropped it. A few days later you kept bumping into Edgeshot by himself without his two companions and it was a little weird. He happened to be at the same donut shop as you, the same library, the same grocery store just everywhere. Everywhere that you went he was there and at first, you thought it was that you had good luck, but it began to get weird. You reached out to Takeyama and Nishiya about their mentor

‘Hey, guys is it me, or has Edgeshot been acting weird?’ You waited for a reply that came from Kamui first

‘He has been. Lately, he’s been harsher to us for no reason. Especially if we were to bring you up. His whole mood and personality would do a 180 and he becomes this person I don’t even recognize.’ Takeyama

‘Yeah, I agree with her, he gives us harder tasks and expects us to finish them in half the time and always asks if we saw you. Of course, we lied because his infatuation with you is borderline obsessive and honestly, it’s concerning.’ Nishiya

‘You guys are right, also, for the past couple of weeks every single day no matter where I was, he was there. I go to the donut shop he’s there, laundromat he’s there, grocery store he’s there, walking to work he’s there. At first, I thought I had a lot of luck seeing him all the time, but I noticed he wasn’t with you guys, so it was weird. Then he would tell me stuff that I never even told him. He knew my middle name, where I lived, my age, how many siblings I have, my parent's name and age, what schools I attended, and stuff about my ex-boyfriend like it’s just weird now. He’s scaring me.’ Y/N

‘I think we should confront him, right?’ Nishiya

‘yeah.’ Takeyama

‘Yes’ Y/N

Flashback Ends

If you knew what was going to go down after that conversation you wouldn’t have said anything. The next day you, Mt. Lady, and Kamui Woods confronted him and in two seconds the two of them were dead. They were dead. Mt. Lady was split evenly down the middle blood spurting and guts flowing out. Kamui Woods was next to her with his head missing. Blood spurted from his severed neck body convulsing and his eyes continued to blink. You knew it was the severed nerves making him, the body, do that but you absolutely freaked. You let out an ear-piercing shriek choking on spit and vomit. You just kept screaming hoping someone would hear you. You didn’t want to be around this monster any more than you needed to be listening to his lies trying to say they were in the way of his affection for you. Unfortunately, no one did and in one second you registered pain and your world went black. You had woken up in a place you didn’t recognize. You were strapped to a table and around you were torture items that he liked to call his toys. He is a freak. You were stuck there for a month and one day when he got too careless you got away. You could confide in no one and you had to watch horrified the death of Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods was caused by a villain who hates heroes. Yeah, right. The murderer was a hero who went full-blown psychotic.

“I’m almost gone.” You just needed to get home and get your bags. You cleared up everything in the last month and decided to move to America. You wanted to be far away from him as possible. Your apartment was empty only your two suitcases and duffel bag was left. You made it home grabbing your stuff and handing your keys to your landlord who lived next door. You went outside and hailed a taxi. You got in directing him to Tokyo’s airport. It was a half an hour's ride and you were determined to try to relax. You put in music and watched as you passed by Edgeshot who was still talking with people and you could have sworn you felt eyes on you but, it was just your imagination. In no time you made it to the airport giving the taxi a hefty tip the last of your converted yen. You walked into the terminal and saw you had 30 minutes to board. You sped walk going through security and grabbing an expensive snack for the 13-hour trip. You made it and just before you boarded the lady tapped you pointing behind you. You did as instructed looking behind you to see him. He just stood there waving at you. You mustered a grimace waving back to him before quickly boarding the flight leaving him to get hoarded by fans. You didn’t care. He can have them. You were ready to start a new life away from here. You showed your ticket and got your seat not having to wait long for takeoff. You had the window seat and watched as the plane got higher and higher until you were above the clouds. That’s when you took a breath and leaned back in your seat. You were safe. You were going to be okay. He may have gotten away with Nishiya and Takeyama’s death but, he won’t have you. He will never have you.

I am so grateful I got write Uta & Luffy for this <3 I love her and I love them and in this essay, I will--

[ Read on AO3 ]

—————

“U-T-A! U-T-A! U-T-A!”

The crowds cheered, their deafening voices echoing in the backstage and shaking the whole room. The music hadn't even started and yet, the vibrations were already resonating through Uta’s body, making her heartbeat speed up as she listened to the excitement just outside.

Soon, she would be standing on the stage, facing all those people, seeing them directly for the first time; it was exciting… yet terrifying at the same time. It had been so long since she had performed in front of so many people.

Eleven years? Twelve? She wasn’t even sure anymore.

But now, she would get to do so as much as she wanted to—as much as her fans wanted her to. She loved them enough to push herself beyond her limits. To protect them, to help them escape this rotten world for just a moment longer.

—————

Uta loved Dawn Island. Out of all the temporary bases the Red Hair Pirates have made over the years, this one was definitely her favourite. It was calm, the shore was pretty, the Foosha Village was almost picturesque with its windmills and Mt. Corvo behind it, and she loved the kind tavern owner Makino. Surprisingly, the villagers were unexpectedly welcoming of the big bad pirates as well, throwing parties for them after every raid they made—to be fair, it was probably in part thanks to Shanks always giving them a part of the treasure ‘because he’s nice like that’.

Uta preferred to call it bribery but as long as it allowed them to stay there in peace, she supposed the name didn’t really matter.

The only bad part was—

“Shanks!! Let me join your crew!!”

—this brat.

“Luffy, how many times do we have to tell you no?” Uta asked, not even bothering to suppress the annoyance in her tone.

Luffy paused where he was tugging at Shanks’ arm to try and get him to pay attention; instead, he slowly turned to look at Uta. “As if I’d listen to a kid like you!” he announced, then stuck his tongue out at her.

Uta took a deep breath, counting to five before she hissed, “I don’t want to be called a kid by a baby.”

“You’re just two years older than me!” Luffy cried. Then, finally, he let go of Shanks’ arm to jump down to the floor and stride over to stand next to Uta.

Or below her, considering how tall the bar stool she was sitting on was compared to his short, child’s body.

“Yes. And that’s exactly why you are more of a baby than me,” Uta noted, her lips curling into a smirk as she looked down at Luffy. “And why you’ve lost to me 347 times.”

Luffy puffed up. “I’m the one who beat you 347 times!! Even though you keep cheating!”

“I’m a pirate. There’s no such thing as cheating.” Uta shrugged and this time, it was her turn to grin as she raised both her hands up to her face, wiggling her fingers at Luffy. “There he goes! Sore loser.”

“Uta~,” Luffy whined, glaring at her with a huge pout on his lips. 

“Uta, Luffy. Don’t fight,” Makino tried to placate them but to no avail.

Luffy put one hand on his hip, pointing at Uta with the other. “Fine! I challenge you to a match!”

“So you can lose again? Sure,” Uta said casually before she easily jumped off her stool. “What are the rules?”

Luffy crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes as he hummed, his face twisting into a deep frown as he thought hard. Uta could swear there was steam rising from his head  and she had to bite her cheek to keep herself from giggling at the sight.

Finally, Luffy’s eyes snapped open and his face split into a wide smile. “We’ll have a singing contest!”

Uta blinked. Did he really just—

“Is that a joke?!” Uta cried with wide eyes, staring at Luffy as if he just spoke the words that would bring down the sun upon them and destroy the world.

Actually, he might as well have.

“Shanks, did you let him drink your sake?! Or did he go insane all by himself?!” Uta accused, pointing at Luffy while she turned to her captain to demand answers.

Shanks, however, only laughed. “I can’t wait! Dibs on first row seats!”

“Hey, boss! No fair!” Roux called from the back of the tavern.

Uta clicked her tongue. “You really want him to burst your eardrums from up close?” she scoffed before turning back to Luffy. He was still standing there, positively beaming at her with a proud look in his eyes and Uta sighed. “You do realise I'm the Red Hair Pirates’ musician, right?” she asked, just to make sure Luffy didn’t hit his head and lose his memory or… something. Because this was nothing short of stupid, even for him.

“Yeah!” The idiot nodded with that annoying bright grin. “Are you scared, Uta?”

“Excuse me?” Uta’s eyebrows shot up. “You’re on, you brat.”

Taking that as a cue, the Red Hair Pirates got up as one, clearing the tavern of chairs and tables to create Uta’s very own stage. Allowing her to spread her wings, to make her stage into whatever she wished. To show everyone her world, painting the floor, walls, and ceiling with her words, building props with musical notes—creating a world for herself… and for everyone she loved.

And Uta… sang.

She sang, the words flowing out of her mouth, her chest, her heart. She sang, letting the music envelop her, to dance around her as she commanded. She sang, guiding everyone around her to join her in her world. The stage was hers and she was the stage; they were one, always would be, and she hoped that one day, she could lead everyone to this place, to show them how beautiful the world inside her songs could be.

She sang until she felt the exhaustion pulling on her and her eyelids started feeling heavy. She wanted to go on but since this was a contest… a little taste was enough to show how superior she was to—it wasn’t even enough to call Luffy an amateur. A joke, more like.

As the last note faded out and the song came to a close, Uta closed her eyes momentarily, taking a deep breath before she looked around herself to take in the faces of everyone who had watched her performance. A wide smile pulled on her lips at the sight of everyone’s dazed expressions turning into ones of excitement as they cheered loudly, a round of applause soon erupting around the tavern.

Uta giggled to herself, spreading her arms wide as she spinned around before bowing to everyone deeply.

However, the calls for an encore were cut short when Luffy jumped up, his fists raised up in the air, and he called, “My turn now!!”

Rolling her eyes, Uta backed away from the centre of the tavern to make room for the boy who was already running over to take her place, undescribable excitement in his impossibly bright grin. He took the stage and inhaled deeply.

“The islands~ in the south~ are warm~”

“Oh god,” Uta let out immediately, at the same time as her hands flew up to cover her ears and protect her from the horribly off-key screeching.

“Heads all a-swoon-swoon~”

“Make him stop!” she cried desperately.

Unfortunately, he didn’t stop as the other Red Hair Pirates simply laughed and clapped, some even slapping their knees in a fit of hysterics. Uta had no idea how they could find this… atrocity funny but she sure as hell wasn’t going to stay to try and understand it.

“They’re all fools~!”

Hands still on her ears, she bolted out of her chair and out of the tavern, running far enough to get out of earshot—and even then, she could do nothing but drop to her knees, her hands never falling to her sides; she just continued clutching at her head in a vain attempt to get rid of the dreadful echo ringing in her brain.

It was only minutes later that a large, comforting hand came to rest on her shoulder and Benn Beckman’s deep, soothing voice asked, “You okay?”

“No,” Uta replied, her fingers curling in to grab onto her two-coloured hair.

“I suppose Luffy won in a way, huh?” Benn said, barely suppressed laughter in his voice.

Uta only groaned and gripped her hair tighter.

—————

“Uta, come on! You’re gonna get lost!” Luffy called triumphantly as he charged forward, sprinting through the forest behind Foosha Village.

“Excuse me?!” Uta cried. How dare this brat suggest she’d get lost?

Gritting her teeth, Uta picked up speed. It didn't take her long to catch up to Luffy; she threw a smirk at him as she overtook him, taking his place in the lead. “Right back at you! See if you can catch me before I get to the cliff!”

“Loser has to tell everyone the winner is a better pirate!” Luffy announced.

“Sounds good to me!” Uta agreed, a new wave of determination coursing through her veins.

As she weaved her way through the trees, she stopped paying attention to her surroundings. She simply focused on her goal and on her feet, dancing over the roots and rocks as to avoid tripping and giving Luffy an advantage. She felt light, almost as if she was flying, the swishing of the wind around her headphones only enhancing the impression. A grin was pulling on her lips and she almost startled; was she… actually having fun? With Luffy?

“Uta!!”

At the alarmed shout of her name, Uta’s eyes snapped up from the ground only for her to come face to face with a man—a tall, muscular man, dirty and ugly, but carrying more weapons than any of the Red Hair Pirates ever did. Because none of them are weak enough to need ten guns and twenty knives, her mind readily supplied… but that didn’t change the fact she was 9 years old, unarmed beyond her voice with no one but Luffy to help her and she wasn’t stupid enough to think they stood a chance.

She froze, her heartbeat speeding up as her eyes went wide while she stared at the man, who she could only assume was a mountain bandit. He was staring back at her without moving—obviously just as surprised to run into two little kids as they were to run into him—and Uta prayed he would let them leave without a fuss. After all, they had nothing but their clothes on them, there was nothing to gain.

But of course, Luffy, the idiot, had to go and throw that chance out the window himself. “What do you want, bandit?!” he shouted at the man in a shaky voice. “Leave Uta alone or I’ll beat you up!!”

If Uta wasn’t so scared, she’d have groaned and face-palmed but as it was she could barely just force herself out of her stupor to move. She gulped loudly before she took a deep breath—and bolted, crossing the small distance that separated her from Luffy to catch his wrist in a vice grip.

“Run!!” she yelled while she yanked on his arm.

They didn’t make it further than a few paces before they noticed something charging at them and Uta threw herself to the side, dragging Luffy with her; just in time to avoid being run into the ground by two… children?

“Sabo, hurry up or the hag will catch us!” a boy’s voice shouted impatiently.

“I know,” another boy replied just as he slid on the ground right by Uta, missing her by apparently carefully calculated inches. “Wait, Ace! Bandit ahead!”

“Oh, you two—! I’m taking you to boss Higuma for what you did last time!” the bandit Uta and Luffy had been running from growled as he pulled one of his larger guns from behind his belt, taking aim.

And then, Uta could only watch with wide eyes as the two boys—neither much older than herself—exchanged a single glance before they moved in perfect sync, using the pipes in their hands to knock the giant man to the ground, rendering him unconscious and swiping a few knives on their way. They made it seem so easy that Uta felt like her jaw had hit the floor. She would have expected no less from her family but two young boys like this… It was almost enchanting.

“Out of the way, asshole,” the dark-haired one muttered before he took off again.

On the other hand, the blond stopped for a moment, a confident, easy smile on his lips as he glanced at the bandit… then at Luffy and Uta.

Before either of them could say or do anything, an angry female voice carried over to them. “Ace!! Get back here you shitty little brat!!”

Somehow, the boy’s smile only widened. “See ya!” he called… and then he was gone, leaving Uta to wonder to whom exactly the words were addressed.

Uta and Luffy sat there in stunned silence for a few more minutes as they gathered themselves enough to finally run away before the bandit woke up and decided he’d take his anger out on them.

By the time they made it to the shore, neither Uta nor Luffy remembered there was a race—nevermind what they were racing over. They were just glad to be out of the forest, gasping for breath, laughter on their lips from the relief that washed over them as soon as the sea came into view.

“I could have beat him too,” Luffy said defiantly after a long while of them simply lying on the grass.

Uta rolled her eyes. “Sure you could.”

“Just you watch! One day, I will be the strongest thing on this island—no, in this sea!” Luffy announced, and Uta could basically hear the pout on his lips.

With a small huff, Uta’s lips curled into a crooked smile. “And what then, Mr Strongest?”

Luffy hummed. “Then I'll become a pirate and leave this island and become the strongest!”

“Weren’t you trying to leave with us?” Uta asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Yeah, that’s what I was saying,” Luffy announced as if it were obvious and Uta…

Uta couldn’t fight back the laugh that bubbled out of her chest.

This brat just cowered and almost cried in the face of one bandit and he was already talking about becoming the strongest in the East Blue before the Red Hair Pirates left? How cute… and hilarious. How long did he think that was going to take? A week? A month? It wasn’t like they were going to stick around for ten years or more.

Suddenly, Uta stopped laughing.

They were going to leave this island for good soon, weren’t they? She should be happy about finally being rid of Luffy… But somehow…

She couldn’t even remember what life was like without his annoying laughter and stupid bright grins and cries of ‘Shanks! Lemme onto the ship!! I wanna be a pirate!!’

…actually, how did she even for a second think she was going to miss him?

“You really are a kid,” Uta said instead of voicing her thoughts.

“Hey!” Luffy cried immediately, rising on his elbows to glare down at Uta, who only stared back at him impassively until Luffy’s face twisted in frustration over her lack of reaction and he threw himself back to the ground next to her. “What about you? Don’t you want to beat all the stupid bandits up?”

“I’m a musician,” Uta replied simply. “I will use my voice, not violence like a stupid monkey.”

“Okay but is your voice going to protect you or the people you love when someone comes at you with a gun?” Luffy asked with genuine confusion.

Uta laughed, the sound a happy chime around them. She could almost see the musical notes dancing in the air. “Music is my power. I can bring a new genesis with my voice and I don’t need any help. No bandits can stand up to me.”

“And yet you ran away screaming,” Luffy piped up.

“Hey!”

—————

Uta smiled at the memory; it had been so many years and yet, she could still see the scene as if it were yesterday. She wondered—where was Luffy now? Was he still on Dawn Island? She would bet he really was the strongest one there by now.

She shook her head, trying to get rid of her thoughts. It wouldn’t do to get nostalgic now. She had a job to do, songs to sing, fans to meet. A world to change. She couldn’t get lost in the memories of her carefree childhood and long for the simpler, easier times when she had not a single worry in the world.

Taking a deep breath, Uta closed her eyes, ignoring the painful pang next to her heart.

Luffy, are you watching? Though it doesn’t really matter. Not anymore.

With a final, slow exhale, Uta opened her eyes and took a step forward, one last whisper lingering in the backstage before her singing voice drowned it out.

“A new genesis is the future.”

Mt. Aocang is as calm and serene as always, silence disturbed only ever so slightly by the humming of leaves and the sound of the last cup of tea he pours for himself. He has lost count of exactly when he finally learned not to expect to see anyone upon coming here.

A stone needs a long time to change shape as wind and water carve it anew, and he, too, finds old habits die hard. But, also just like a stone, he has time to spare. Far too much of it.

“Ah, Rex Lapis. Are you growing lonely?”

His eyes widen slightly, his hand freezing in motion for a few seconds, as though awaiting more — before he sighs and raises the cup to his lips as nothing else comes.

“Do you blame me?” He murmurs after a moment, not realizing entirely that he spoke out loud until after the words leave him; once he does, his face twists into a self-mocking smile as he shakes his head. Perhaps he really is growing overly sentimental. She has been gone for millennia now. He knows that. He was there. Whatever he just heard was either a product of his imagination, or just a whisper in the wind. So why is he replying?

The breeze ruffles his hair gently, something akin to a soft giggle passing through the leaves of the tree stretching out above him.

It then dissipates, leaving the area in a state of stillness, as though time suddenly froze all around him. A single leaf floats down from the tree, and his eyes follow its path until it lands beside his hand, where it remains. His gaze is fixed on it still, he does not know how long. By the time he finally looks away to drink the last sip of the tea, it has grown lukewarm.

No other sounds disturb the silence and peace of the stone table for the rest of his visit. As it should be, as it has been for countless years by now.

Only when he stands up to leave does the whisper return one last time, ringing quietly in his ears.

“Your story is far from over still, you know. Look to those around you. They have much to share.”

“… Hmph.”

—

“Thank you very much for your help, Master Zhongli!”

“Oh, it was nothing.”

“Nothing? Your expertise and eye for detail just saved my business!” The merchant bows and shakes his hand. “Had you not recognized those counterfeit gemstones and proved them fake, those crooks would have run my store into the ground, and I have no clue what I would do then…” Turning to Katheryne, he places a bag of Mora on the counter. “Here is the payment. Please, do share a portion with Master Zhongli. He was an immense help.”

“Oh, I am not employed with the Adventurers’ Guild,” he chuckles with a nonchalant wave of his hand. As he turns, he sees Katheryne smiling at him, a silent question — suggestion perhaps, even — unspoken, yet written all over her face.

A breeze brushes past him.

“Look to those around you. They have much to share.”

He closes his eyes for a moment, wondering, before he huffs with a smile.

“… But I wouldn’t mind being contacted every once in a while, if my help is needed. I’m not all that knowledgeable, really, but I will be happy if I can offer my support.”

Marriage. 17

Chapter 17: Building a Home

In the course of several days we choose what home I wanted, dad and Goku building it, planning the perfect wedding, and buying things for our home. Sometimes it was chaotic, other days silly. Especial how Goku reacted through it all.

…

The first thing after breakfast the next day was travel to Mt Paozu. It’s been years since I laid eyes on the home I shared with grandpa. When I found out that this is where Chichi wanted to live with me, I felt a deep sense of happiness in my soul. When she told me that at breakfast, it took every ounce of control to not kiss her. After that talk before the party, I started to understand that there are certain things you don’t do in front of people. And it made me happy that she wanted to keep that between us. Especially since I get the proudest feeling knowing I’m the only one to enjoy her every expression.

When we reached Mt Paozu, we started mapping out the area where our new home will be. Our. Thinking about that word actually made me smile, and I don’t understand why. After that we headed to a big city to a capsule home shop. I found this funny, since it was my first time being in one. I was confused most of the time, but Chichi helped me understand. After awhile we came to our decision and will start building the next day.

…

As dad and Goku went to start building our home today, I decided I talk with the wedding planner. That talk, even though exciting, was a complete bore. He kept going between two different whites for the decorations. It’s just white. And when I spoke with the florist, she wasn’t much help either. She went all about different flowers and their many names. It was super confusing. I tried picking some pink flowers, and she said how they won’t do. Something about that those usually mean death. I was getting really annoyed, after all it’s MY wedding. I should be able to pick whatever flowers I want. But thankfully she point at this beautiful blue and white bouquet; it had hydrangea, baby’s breath, and berries. I giggled when she said one of the flowers was called baby’s breath; who gives flowers silly names.

After that was done, I set out to wait for Goku and dad to comes home. After all, it was almost dinner time. I hope they had a better day than me.

…

Note to self, thank Master Roshi one of these days for making me do construction, for training. We were able to set up half of the main frame work in time for lunch. Even though Chichi packed us a lunch, it wasn’t enough for me. So, I went to go catch a fish. I offered Ox King but he declined. His lost. After lunch we got the other half done. Tomorrow we’ll be building the inner walls to the out. If we work hard and fast enough, we might be able to get the roof up, too.

As we made it back to the castle, we were greeted by that old lady, Li, and Chichi. I still don’t get why I don’t like that old lady. After we ate dinner, Chichi sat in my room and told me all about her day. When she got to the part about flower names, we both burst into a fit of laughter over the name baby’s breath. After that we said goodnight and went to bed. But before she left my room, I couldn’t help myself to take a long whiff of her scent. She froze when I buried my nose in her neck, and started smelling. She asked what I was doing, but instead of answering I just licked her neck. She yelped, and push me. She was doing that angry puff again, before she walked out.

…

As I walked into Goku’s room this morning, I was surprised he wasn’t there. Oh, he knows I hate that. Where are you mister? Courtyard. Since when? Before the sun rose. That was 3 hours ago. Don’t tell me you forgot the last time you trained in the courtyard at this time. The last time he did that he scared a few of the guards. I didn’t do that this time. I swear! Since dad gave his blessing, every morning I found him doing either pushups or sit-ups, and I would join him till it was time for breakfast. The fact he went to the courtyard today made me angry. I hope he gets a cramp. And I wish I could see you doing that angry puffy face. Shut up! I do not puff my face when I’m angry! Yes, you do. And I like it. At that I started to blush. I then went back to my room to do my morning workout. That jerk.

After breakfast, I didn’t give him a parting kiss, since I was still mad. He was sad, but that’s his own fault. He pouted as he headed off with dad. Today I was meeting with a tailor to fit my mother’s prize wedding dress. When I first tried it on, she looked displeased. “Please princess, don’t you think it would fit better if you weren’t wearing your chest binder?” Maybe she had a point. But I haven’t worn clothes without it for so long, it became a second skin. The only two ways I didn’t wear it was when I was still wearing my mother’s armor, or when I went to bed. Ever in the last 3 years, when I finally put the armor away, I just couldn’t stop wearing the binder.

My growing breast got in the way of my training. Plus, men always looked at me weird, on the days I took a break from it. But fine! I’ll try the dress without it. When I came back out in the dress, without the binder, the tailor’s mouth fell. “My Kami, I didn’t know you had so much. Why don’t you not wear your binder more often? You definitely got the body to make any girl jealous.” I started to feel embarrassed. I wasn’t the showy type. I always knew I had a proud figure, but never felt the need to show it.

The rest of the session was embarrassing. She went on about how I had a thinner waist than mother. Oh, and how I got the perfect amount of butt to match my breast. Oh, how lucky my fiancé is, since I had a perfect figure with well tone muscles. I kept begging her to stop. “I bet he gets hard every time he thinks of you.” She was giggling, I was downright feeling like I was on fire. Such improper language. “The way I heard he looks, I bet you get wet too just thinking of him.” I was at the verge of fainting, till she gave me a glass of water. “Am I right? You must lust for him a lot, telling from how red you’re turning. Especially since, you’re making the dress look white compared to you.” She couldn’t stop laughing.

Why did she had to go and say that? So embarrassing and not proper thoughts. But I must admit, it would be nice to know if he does get aroused when it comes to me. Oh no! Get those out your head right now, missy! A proper lady doesn’t think those things. A proper lady has control of all her desires.

…

This morning I woke up extra early. For some reason I was burning up, and tightness between my legs was just unbearable. When I opened my eyes the first thing that happened, was that I said Chichi. Then I remembered the dream I was having. Chichi sitting on my lap, doing that angry puffy face, and I licking her neck so she did the other face I liked. And now that tightness just became worst. Maybe I should do push… It hurt to try to get into position. Maybe sit-ups. Nope. Can’t do that either. Damn it! I know Chichi hates this, but I really need to do something about this. So, I jumped out the window, and started walking to the courtyard. I then began my kata practice.

By the time the sun rose, it was starting to finally go away. Well, until a certain someone rang in my head. Where are you mister? Oh, she was mad, and strangely it made the tightness come back. Oh, and to know she’s doing that puffy angry face, just made it worst. I had to go extra heavy in my workout now, since I knew I only had an hour till she comes get me for breakfast.

Damn it! She’s still mad. She didn’t even give me a kiss. Just you watch till I get back. I’m going to get my kiss, and make you beg for more. Wait! Where did that come from? The rest of the day went just like yesterday, only this time I was on edge. It was in the afternoon I finally cooled off, after I caught myself and Ox King fish for lunch. As we ate, Ox King was asking me weird questions.

“Are you behaving around my daughter?” Oh course, or Chichi would get mad if I didn’t. “I mean behaving when you two are alone.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You two aren’t doing things married people do?”

“And that is, what exactly?” When I asked that he had a face of almost disbelief.

“You really don’t know?” I shocked my head. “Oh Kami!” His reaction surprised me, but before I could ask, he stated we had to finish up. So strange.

When we finally went back for dinner, I notice Chichi wasn’t looking at me. It really bugged me. And when I asked why, she didn’t give me one answer. As we got in front of our room, I finally couldn’t take it. I could understand being mad for this morning, but not looking at me or answering me. Something was wrong and I’m going to find out. Before she had a chance to touch her door, I picked her up and carried her to my room. The fact she didn’t put up a fight also bothered me. She usually does, since she likes walking on her own feet.

“Ok missy. What’s wrong? And don’t think of getting away.” I told her as I walked up to the bed. She stood silent. When I got to the bed, I sat down and kept her on my lap. She still wasn’t answering. “If you don’t answer I’ll tickle you.” That always get her to talk. But not this time. She didn’t try to escape, nor spoke. Now I’m worried. I placed my face against hers. “Please. Please tell me what’s wrong.”

That got something. She looked at me, and she looked like she was on the verge of tears. “So, I was trying on mother’s dress today. And… and… the tailor told me try it without my binder. And then she started teasing me. I felt super embarrassed.” She then started crying on my chest. I held her closer, and had my chin on her head. When she was done crying, she looked up at me. Oh Kami! She was pouting. “She made me think of things that are not proper. She made me so mad.”

“And what can I do to make you not mad?”

“Kiss me.” Oh, how can I deny that little request. After I gave a quick kissed on the lips, I could tell she wanted more. Oh, but I couldn’t resist kissing her nose. “Hey! Not there!” I did it again and she started hitting my chest with her fist.

…

He kept kissing my nose, even when I told him to stop. When he in for another one, I moved my head back so he can miss. He landed that kiss on my shoulder. Instead of pulling back, to try again, he trailed up to my neck. Oh man, that always tickles, and he knows it. He then licked before he kissed my jawline. “Mmm.” Oops!

I think he heard me, telling from how he froze. Then I felt him repeat what he did. And again, I made that noise. He kept repeating, and sometimes was faster, others slower. But each and every time I just made that noise. I tried to tell him stop, but he won’t listen. And so then, I thought maybe I did that to him. See how he likes it. Oh crap! Planned backfired. He did like it, and moved my head so he can repeat what he did to me to the other side.

I then tried to pull away, just for him to pull me back harder. When I landed on his lap again, he threw his head back and let out a groan. CRAP! He then let me go, and slipped to the floor. What was that about? Before I could ask, he had a tight expression and his face was turning red. He then stated that maybe it’s time to get some rest for tomorrow. I didn’t argue with him, as I got up and let. Before I did, I wanted to share one more kiss, but he wasn’t having it. Did I do something wrong?

…

CRAP!

That felt surprising good. But it took me by surprised, that I let Chichi go. And that’s when I felt it get tight. NO! NO! NO! She can’t see me like this! It’s embarrassing. I told her that we should probably get to bed. I was so grateful she agreed. But I sadly had to deny one last kiss. The moment she left the room, I started questioning why is my body reacting like this.

GoChi Fall Event 2022

I’m several days late, but this is something I’ve written for GoChi Fall Event 2022 (Day 1) on twitter.

Title: Spooky Houses Pairing: Goku/Chi-Chi Characters: Goku, Chi-Chi, Gohan, Bulma and Krillin Goku landed on Mt. Paozu after a long day training. He noticed his house had some orange lighting, which was strange because Chi-Chi preferred more neutral tones for the walls and lights for their home. As he walked towards the door, he noticed some pumpkins placed by the outside walls.

When he opened the door, he thought he might have walked into the wrong house and took a couple of steps back. The thing was that they didn’t have any neighbors nearby. The usual white light was replaced by a purple one and there were some fake bat, ghost and vampire decorations hanging from the ceiling. “Chi-Chi?” He stepped at the hall, where there didn’t seem to be anything unusual. “I’m home.” “Oh good.” Her voice echoed from upstairs. “How hungry are you? I lost track of time and haven’t started dinner yet.” “A little, but I suppose I can wait. Where is Gohan?” “He’s in the shower.” Chi-Chi came downstairs to meet him. “He’s probably finishing though, so you can do it after him. I’m going to start dinner now.” “Eh, Chi-Chi…” Goku followed her into the kitchen and rubbed the back of his neck, feeling embarrassed and nervous, but also very curious. “Why is our kitchen purple?” “Oh.” She looked at the light for a moment. “It’s Halloween time.” “Halloween? Is it something you eat?” “No.” She couldn’t help but giggle. “It’s the time of the year when kids go from house to house asking for ‘trick or treat?’ and people give them a lot of candy.” “So it is something to eat.” “Not exactly. Haven’t you heard about it before?” “I don’t think so. I barely watch TV and I’m always training or fighting, so…” He shrugged, making a weird face. “Is that why there are orange lights and pumpkins with scary faces outside?” “That’s right.” “But I don’t remember you doing that before. Why did you do it this year?” “Because it’s Gohan’s first year at school and he will become friends with kids who live in the city, so I didn’t want him to feel bad because he lives far from it and doesn’t celebrate it.” Chi-Chi looked at her husband for a moment and noticed with puzzled expression. “You still don’t understand it, do you?” “Not really, but I’m trying to.” “You will be able to understand it better tomorrow when we go to the Halloween party Bulma is planning.” “The Halloween party Bulma is planning?” “She decided to start throwing them this year and I have nothing to do with it.” She winked at him. “I don’t get it.” “Mom, where are my pajamas? I can’t find them.” Gohan yelled from his bedroom upstairs. “Try looking under your pillow or in your wardrobe. They must be at one of these places.” She lowered her voice to talk to Goku. “I know it’s still confusing, but you’ll know what is a Halloween party in a practical way tomorrow night.” “Alright then.” He gave up, shrugging. “I’m going to take a shower.” “Okay. Dinner will be ready by the time you finish.” ***** “Chi-Chi, can you come here for a second?” Goku asked when he walked into their bedroom and found a bunch of weird and unusual clothes spread on their bed. “What happened, Goku?” Chi-Chi appeared not to long after, coming from Gohan’s room. “What is this?” He pointed to the outfits. “These are Halloween costumes. Remember when I told you yesterday that Bulma is having a Halloween party tonight? Well, it’s a costume party.” “Does that mean we have to wear them?” “That’s right.” “I don’t want to. Can I go with my fighting clothes instead?” “No, Goku. On Halloween you’re supposed to dress as something spooky.” “Like the things you hung up downstairs?” “Exactly, but there are other things besides bats, ghosts and vampires.” “But, Chi-Chi, these clothes are so comfortable.” “I know, honey, but it’s just for tonight. I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy it.” “Are you and Gohan dressing up too?” Goku looked at his wife with one of his eyebrows raised, still confused. “Gohan is doing it right now. I’m going to check on him within seconds.” Chi-Chi walked to the bed and grabbed a long-length black dress, placing it in front of her. “And this is mine. What do you think?” “Chi-Chi, it’s black.” “Yeah, that’s the color people wear for Halloween. You really don’t know anything about it, do you?” “No, and I’m still confused about it.” He looked at the remaining outfit on their bed. “What are we supposed to go dressed as?” “We’re going to be a vampire family.” She replied proudly. “I could have chosen different costumes for the three of us, but I wanted Gohan to know Halloween can be a family celebration too.” “That makes sense.” Goku slid his orange clothing off his arms and then removed his dark blue T-shirt. He pulled the remaining item off his body and grabbed the black overalls. “This is only for tonight, right?” “Yes, only for tonight.” “Okay, I can do that.” “That cape goes over the overalls. You can decide if you want it black or red outside.” “Cool.” He started putting it up and noticed she had sat on the bed and was staring at him. “Didn’t you say you were going to check on Gohan?” “I did, but it’s been so entertaining over here. Besides, Gohan is old enough to change on his own.” “It’s been entertaining here, huh?” “It has.” Chi-Chi couldn’t help but smile looking at her husband. “I’m glad you’re having fun, but why don’t we make it entertaining for the both of us at the same time?” “Goku, Gohan is in the other room!” She blushed heavily and looked away to hide it. “I was talking about we getting ready together.” “Oh. Yeah, we can do that.” “What did you think I meant?” “Uh… nothing.” She talked it off and stood up, walking to the door and closing it. Then she stopped beside him and started getting undressed. “Chi-Chi?” “What?” “What did you think I meant?” “Let’s just get ready for the party, okay?” ***** Chi-Chi couldn’t tell which one of the men of her life was the most amazed by the city being decorated for Halloween. “Chi-Chi, can you slow down, please?” Goku pleaded beside her, though he couldn’t keep his eyes from the road. “I can barely see anything like this.” “Yes, mom, please.” Gohan echoed his father’s thought from the backseat of the car. “Okay, but just for a couple of minutes. I don’t want to be late for Bulma’s party. Besides, you’ll get to see more of Halloween decoration there.” “Do people really put lights inside pumpkins?” Goku raised his eyebrow as he looked at a pumpkin flashing in orange in a front yard. “They are candles, actually.” Chi-Chi replied, looking at it as well. “It helps giving them a scarier look. That’s why they have a face.” “They do look scary. I’m not sure I like it.” “You deal with even scarier evil forces. Halloween pumpkins are nothing compared to them.” “Mom is right.” “You have a point, but I still think they are scary.” “I bet I can change your mind about pumpkins.” “Oh, I’d like to see you try.” “It’s on. Alright, let’s get into the car and go to Capsule Corp.” ***** The outside of the Briefs’ residence would be almost fully dark, if it weren’t for some purple lights illuminating the pathway to the door and pumpkins flashing in orange as well. “Bulma surely knows how to be creative with these things.” “This is so cool!” Gohan squealed and ran to the door. “Gohan, you might want to wait for us. You never know what there might be inside.” “I spent a year living on my own and trying to survive dinosaurs and dangerous situations. Halloween decorations and costumes won’t scare me, mom.” “He’s a brave child.” Goku placed his hand on his wife’s left shoulder. “Besides, he will be inside the house the whole time.” “I know, but I can’t help but worry about him. He was taken away from me for a whole year after you died. I fear it can happen again.” “It won’t. I’ll make sure of this.” “Alright. I trust you.” Chi-Chi stopped by the porch and looked at Goku. “Open it.” “What?” “Open the door, Goku.” “But, Chi-Chi, I have no idea what’s inside. Can’t you do it? I promise I’ll be right behind you.” “The strongest man in the world is afraid of Halloween decorations.” She couldn’t help but tease him and then giggled. “Go on, make fun all you want.” He said lightly. “I just didn’t have contact with any of these things while growing up.” “I know, honey. I’m just messing with you.” She turned to the door and grabbed its knob. “Okay, here we go.” Chi-Chi felt a cold rush down her spine when she peeked in and found the whole house completely dark. She had always been braver than her friends at school when it came to facing scary things, but this got her a bit scary. If she hadn’t known Goku was right behind her, she would have jumped and screamed when he intertwined his fingers with hers. “Bulma was fully into it. I can’t see a thing.” “She should have at least put on some lights. It’s pitch dark.” “Bulma?” “We’re in the kitchen, Chi-Chi.” “Let’s go.” She held Goku’s hand tighter and used her free hand to tap around, so they wouldn’t bump into anything and get hurt. Her vision was more adjusted to the darkness and she could see a little better, but that didn’t stop her from stumbling upon something and almost falling down. “Chi-Chi, what happened?” Goku was quick to grab her arms and keep her up. “I stumbled on something. Probably a decoration.” “Are you okay?” “I think so.” She stood up and smiled at him. “Thank you.” “You’re welcome.” “What did I stumble upon?” Chi-Chi looked down at her right and saw it was a skeleton. “Let’s go.” Goku stepped ahead and led her to the kitchen. “What happened to you?” Goku asked Krillin with his eyebrows raised in confusion when he saw his friend all covered in bandages. “Did you get beaten up?” “No, I’m supposed to be a mummy.” “Chi-Chi, you didn’t say anything about mummies being part of Halloween.” “Wait a moment, you didn’t know about Halloween?” “Not really.” “Goku, where did you live all this time?” Bulma walked back in just when the conversation was going on. “I just never cared about other things besides fighting.” “Well, tonight is your lucky night then. I’m gonna teach you all about Halloween.” “Alright, I suppose.” “Mom, my teeth are all red! Look!” Gohan came running and grinned at Chi-Chi. “That’s very cool, sweetheart.” She bent down and ruffled the top of his black hair. “I just hope it won’t stain your teeth.” “Don’t worry, Chi-Chi. It’s gooseberry with strawberry jelly. His normal teeth will be fine.” “Thanks, that makes me more relieved.” “So who’s ready for some trick or treat?” Bulma asked excitedly with a bowl full of candies in her hands. ***** The streets in the city were full of children with tons of bags filled with candies. They were in small groups with some adults looking after them. Each one of the guests at the Capsule Corp was holding a bowl with treats for the kids. “Trick or treat?” A group of children approached them and opened their bags. “Your costumes are so cute!” Bulma put some candy on them and almost everyone else did the same. Though the ones around him were giving treats for the children, Goku didn’t move at all. “You have a funny hair.” The child in front of him said innocently and both Chi-Chi and Gohan started laughing. “You deserve a little more candy because of that.” The woman gave him some of the sweet in her bowl. “You’re very cool, lady.” “Aww thank you! Have a few more.” “Mom, can we go around asking for trick and treat now?” “Of course, sweetie.” Chi-Chi grabbed his little hand and they started going down the pathway at Capsule Corp, along with Goku. “Gohan, wait a moment!” Bulma came running towards them and handed him a bag full of candy. “This is for you. We all got together and filled this bag.” “Say thank you, Bulma.” “Thank you, Bulma.” He pressed his palms together and bowed down respectfully after giving the heavy bag to his father. “You’re welcome.” She ruffled his hair slightly. “You’re such a nice kid.” “He really is.” Chi-Chi said proudly. “Are you ready, Gohan?” “Yes!” He said excitedly. “We’ll be right back, Bulma.” “Alright.” Gohan watched the groups of children laugh and be all happy about their candies that he suddenly felt sad for being on his own. “What happened, son?” Goku looked down at him. “Nothing.” “You want to be around other kids, don’t you?” He silently nodded, still looking down. “Then go.” “But I don’t know them.” He looked at Chi-Chi confused. “What if they don’t like me?” “How can someone not like you?” She knelt down in front of him. “You’re a lovely child. I’m sure they will love you.” “Okay!” “So go, or there won’t be any candies left for you.” “I’m going.” Chi-Chi stood up again and watched her son join a small group of kids with a proud smile and happy tears in her eyes. “Halloween isn’t that scary anymore, is it?” “It isn’t, when we’re out here. But the decorations still make me nervous.” “You’re so unpredictable.” “Why?” Goku asked her confused. “Because you face worse things when you’re fighting to protect the Earth, and can’t even handle some fake scary things.” “Well…” He shrugged. “Gohan seems to be having fun, so maybe it isn’t so bad. But I’d appreciate it more if I got to go trick or treating too. Can adults do it too?” “No, that’s only for children.” “That’s not cool!” He pouted. “Don’t worry, darling. I’m sure Gohan will share some of his candies with you.” “A bag?” He asked, full of hope. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.” She turned to him. “But there’s a Halloween surprise for you waiting in our house.” “What is it?” “If I say, it won’t be a surprise anymore. You’ll find out when he go back.” “Gohan!” Goku turned around and cupped his mouth, so his voice would be louder. “We need to go home.”

Takahashi Ryosuke x f!reader

Summary: Ryosuke recalls the night you two met

Word Count: 500+

Warnings/Genre: sfw, fluff, established relationship

a/n: there's not enough Ryosuke fics out there so here's my contribution

Remember

"Remember how we met?" The hand around yours squeezes ever so slightly. The way Ryosuke looks at you still catches you off guard from time to time.

Though the heads of some of the now disbanded RedSuns turning your way doesn't help the heat rising in your chest, something soft and warm morphing into some form of embarrassment.

"No, no," you wine, ducking your head and covering your eyes with your free hand.

A light chuckle warms your ears, "What?"

Heat still radiates from the front of his RX-7 after a night with his old teammates, warming your legs as you sit on the hood. Ryosuke is done hitting the RedSuns' home course, and though you love watching him zoom through Mt Akagi, you love having him by your side even more. "I thought you were this helpless little lady stuck in a grocery store parking lot. I really thought I was going to rescue you- No, not really, but I did feel obligated to help. It was dark out, you were all alone. It didn't seem right to drive on by without stopping to check on you."

"And I thought you were going to be annoying and assume I couldn't help myself," you give him a pointed look.

He stiffens, but quickly relaxes again once he notices the smirk tugging at the corner of your lips. "I did not expect to walk around your car to see you pulling a radiator out of the engine bay though. That had me lost for words."

You shrug nonchalantly. No doubt it was a strange sight. Ryosuke wasn’t even the first to stumble across you that night. However, he was the only one you didn't manage to chase off. In fact, after your initial snarl he proved to be both genuine and helpful, which was a first.

"I was refusing to have the thing towed." You giggle quietly to yourself. "Not like I had a garage waiting on me anywhere at the time anyway. What difference did it make - fixing my car in a store's parking lot or the one at my apartment?"

He nods in agreement. "Still though."

Bumping his shoulder against your own, he brushes his nose against your temple. "I remember almost kicking over that plastic tub that looked a lot like it belonged in a kitchen, and much less like it should be full of coolant."

You huff with a soft smile, "I was at a grocery store, remember?"

He yelps when you jab a finger into his ribs. Eyes shoot to Keisuke when they let a laugh escape at his expense.

"Yes, of course," he answers, rubbing the afflicted area to soothe the irritation.

Who would have thought. You're old shitbox blowing a radiator in a grocery parking lot all those nights ago would have led to a very handsome man and his white FC stopping to help you. That said man would have helped you get your car fixed before 2am but the two of you wouldn't leave the lot until almost 4am.

"What a way for this to have started," you murmur to yourself at the thought.

There's a glimmer in Ryosuke's eyes as he looks down at you, lips curled softly into the sweetest smile.

Who would have thought you would have gone from crying in aggravation over your car breaking down on a late night grocery trip to being oh so glad it did.

.

After Tartaglia's confession, you spent the next few weeks together. On slow days and days off, Tartaglia would take you all over Liyue, from Mt. Tianheng to Qingce Village. He would take you to see the most incredible places during the day, telling you stories about how he'd found the place or retelling what he remembered about what Zhongli said. Every now and then as you were marveling at the views Tartaglia would sneak in a comment.

"If you love seeing new places you should come to Snezhnaya."

"This lake is beautiful. You know in Snezhnaya when it gets cold enough we skate on the lakes. I'll teach you when you come to visit."

"The view is lovely. You'll love the views of Snezhnaya in the winter. When everything is frozen, covered in snow and ice the trees sparkle and gleam. It's incredible."

At night, you would often eat in Liyue Harbor. Tartaglia liked to take you to the most renowned restaurants in Liyue: Luili Pavilion, Xinyue Kiosk, and Wanmin Restaurant were common. He always insisted on paying stating that it was his treat. While you had tried to protest and at least split the bill, you were never successful and he would often swipe the bill when you were distracted. The one time you had managed to pay he brought you flowers for a week saying it was to make up for dinner.

On the days when he was busy with work, you would travel around with Anya and sometimes Zhongli. It was on one of these days that you were having dinner with Anya at a restaurant that Zhongli had recommended called Third-Round Knockout. It was a tavern located in Chihu Rock just across the bridge into Liyue Harbor. Third-Round Knockout was located in a fairly large building with outdoor seating. The building had multiple eaves and gables and green tile roofing. Zhongli had recommended it particularly because of the storyteller Iron Tongue Tian, but you and Anya were excited about the reasonable price for a good meal. Sitting at a table outside, you were telling Anya about an adventure with Tartaglia to Minlin to collect Qingxin flowers. As there was a lull in the conversation Anya spoke up.

"You really do like him don't you?" She gave you a look that said she could read you like a book.

You nodded with a soft smile not even trying to deny it. "I do."

Anya gave a wry smile "He's at least treating you well. After all, how many times has he taken you to Luili Pavilion and Xinyue Kiosk?" She said playfully teasing you.

"Anya!" You rolled your eyes at your friend as she giggled.

"But in all seriousness, Have you spoken with him about what happens when you leave? We're getting back on a boat in two days." Anya raised a good point.

Your smile dropped. Two days? Was it that soon? Honestly, you had lost track of time. Which meant you hadn't even told Tartaglia how soon you were leaving, let alone discussed what would happen when you did. Anya could read your thoughts on your face.

"Oh Archons. You haven't talked with him yet have you?" She questioned already knowing the answer.

Biting your lip, you nodded solemnly. "I... hadn't even thought about it myself..." You needed to speak with Tartaglia. Anya brought her cup carefully to her lips and took a sip of her tea before replying.

"Well, are you seeing him tomorrow? If not, you'd better find him, unless you want him to think you've disappeared." Anya was right.

Tomorrow you will find time to speak with Tartaglia. He needed to know and you needed to come up with a plan if you didn't want this budding relationship to come to an abrupt conclusion.

.....

The next day you were standing in Northland Bank hoping to find Tartaglia. Suddenly, two fatui soldiers stopped in front of you. One of them elbowed the other and frantically gestured to you.

"Oh you're Lord Tartaglia's lover!" A voice called out to you.

Your head shot up to look at the two men who you soon recognized as the soldiers you spoke with when you returned Tartaglia's jacket. They both bowed in greeting.

"Are you here to see Lord Tartaglia? Unfortunately he's not here right now, but we can inform him that you're looking for him." The man on the right in the red uniform said, offering a smile.

You smiled at the two men as you replied. "Thank you. I'll wait for him here."

The two soldiers left you with a wave. You waited for another few hours before a pair a black boots stopped in front of you.

"Ah so you really did wait here. Two of my subordinates came to find me and told me you were waiting here for me." Tartaglia smiled down at you. "How about we head to Luili Pavilion for dinner? My treat since you were so kind as to wait for me."

The walk to Luili Pavilion was short but you were filled with dread knowing that you were about to inform Tartaglia that you were leaving in less than twelve hours. You kept going over phases in your head trying to pick out the best way to start the conversation and break the news to him. But everything you come up with just felt wrong. Worse it seemed Tartaglia was starting to pick up on how quiet you were being. As the two of you sat down, he gave you a serious look.

"What's wrong? You're remarkably quiet today." His tone was filled with concern and a hint of dread.

You sighed deeply. "We... need to talk..." Your words trailed off again as you struggled to find what you wanted to say.

The look on Tartaglia's face hardened as he looked away from you.

"You don't want to see me anymore." His tone was self deprecating and full of dejection. You jumped at that conclusion immediately trying to rectify the misunderstanding and assuage his fears.

"No! That's not it at all!" Your outburst drew looks from the patrons around you. You cleared your throat before continuing.

"I don't want to leave you.... But I have to return to Sumeru... tomorrow." You barely got the words out. It felt like your chest was constructing and suffocating you as you waited for his reply.

Tartaglia's eyes widened in both shock and understanding. "You're leaving tomorrow..." He sounded like he almost couldn't believe it.

"Yes. I meant to talk to you sooner, but I lost track of time. I was having so much fun, I didn't even think about leaving. I want to keep seeing you. I really like you." You cut your rambling off as you watched Tartaglia lean his face on his hand smiling at you. He reached his other hand out to hold yours, running his thumb over your knuckles in a soothing manner.

"I'll find a way."

He didn't elaborate any further, but he spoke with such conviction that you naturally found yourself trusting him. For the rest of dinner, you both spoke as if nothing was going to change until Tartaglia walked you back to your inn for the final time.

You didn't want to part from him. Your affections for the Harbinger had only developed further the more time you spent with him. You had slowly grown to love this man that you had risked your life to save just a few months ago. So when he stopped in front of the inn to wish you good night you couldn't contain yourself. You threw your arms around his shoulders and held him close. Tartaglia slowly returned your embrace, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you closer. You rested your head in the crook of his neck. No words needed to be said for you two to understand one another. Both of you stood silently, just enjoying the feeling of being in one another's arms under the stars and lantern lights of Liyue Harbor.

.....

The boat back was leaving at the crack of dawn so you would not have time to find Tartaglia again before departing from Liyue. And even if you had time it's not like he was going to be hanging around Northland Bank at all hours with nothing better to do. You and Anya had brought your trunks to the docks to be loaded onto the ship. Anya glanced back at you and one look told her everything.

"Sad to be leaving? It's written all over your face. You miss him already don't you?" There was no teasing in her voice, just the earnest remarks of a caring friend.

You gave a solemn sigh, forcing a smile then nodding softly.

"Hey, maybe he'll come to the docks to see you off." Anya's attempts to cheer you up were appreciated but not quite helping.

As the captain gave the signal to board, you could hear the creeping of heavy footsteps running on the wooden floor boards of the docks.

"Wait!"

You knew that voice. You turned just in time to see Tartaglia before he pulled you into his chest.

"Don't go. We can petition the Akademiya to have you stay here and continue your work. I-I can get you accommodations here, you wouldn't have to leave." You looked up to see Tartaglia's eyes pleading with you.

He continued. "I have some time off coming up. I was planning to go home to Morepesok, you can come with me. You'll get to meet my parents and siblings. They'd love to meet you. I know they'll adore you!" You could feel Tartaglia's grip tighten as you considered his offer.

"I know it's a lot to ask. But.." He locked eyes with you pausing for a moment. Tension was rising as you waited with baited breath for his next words.

"I love you. I love you so much and I don't want you to go."

And you loved him. You didn't even stop to think. Without a moment of hesitation, you brought your lips to meet his. The kiss was soft but full of your feelings. Tartaglia froze for a moment before his hand came up to the back of your head and tangled in your hair deepening your kiss. You pulled apart slowly and Tartaglia beamed with pleasure.

"Does this mean you'll consider staying?" His words were filled with a level of hope that scarce allowed himself. Your lips parted to speak but you were cut off before you had the chance to reply.

"I'm going back. I'll help petition the Akademiya and inform them that you've chosen to stay here to continue with your research." Both of you whipped your heads to Anya at her offer. You were quite startled.

"You mean... you'll help us?" You ask ready to squeeze your friend to death.

Anya crossed her arms and gave you a knowing smirk.

"If you came back with me now you'd be nothing but miserable. And while I don't particularly like the Fatui, it's clear that he strongly cares for you and that you return his feelings with full force. I'm not heartless enough to ruin my best friend's happiness due to my grievances. However..." Anya turned to Tartaglia. "If you hurt her, I will come down on you with all the force of a Snezhnayan blizzard. Understand?" Her words were as frosty as the glare she held.

But Tartaglia just nodded and happily grinned. "I promise I'll take good care of her and keep her away from Snezhnaya's darker sides." And his promise was worth everything.

Anya gave a single nod. "You'd better." If looks could kill, Anya's glares could take out an entire army. She turned to the stevedore and requested that your trunk be unloaded. Soon the ship was off with one less passenger. You and Tartaglia waved to Anya as the ship embarked on its journey to Sumeru.

..……

The trip to Sumeru had been calm except for Anya's swirling thoughts. She knew it was the right decision for you to stay in Liyue, but how would she explain to everyone else that she'd left you in Liyue in the care of a Fatui Harbinger? A Harbinger who was now your lover. Everyone would lose it! Especially Jean-Pierre. Anya had her suspicions that Jean-Pierre's feelings for you were a bit stronger than friendship. And the Fatui had practically ruined his family. If there was one person in the world who would take this news the worst, it would be him. Monika wouldn't be too pleased either. Mondstadt might have been political allies with the Fatui on paper, but Mondstadters despised the Fatui. Anya had no idea how she was going to explain the situation to them without them immediately getting on the next boat to Liyue in an attempt to bring you home.

As the ship docked in Port Ormos, Anya's fears began to manifest. Both Jean-Pierre and Monika were waiting at the docks for you. This would be fun. As Anya disembarked and approached the two Jean-Pierre was the first to speak.

"Where's Y/N?" He wasn't making any accusations yet but his tone wasn't happy go lucky either. Anya could sense herself begin to fidget with the strap of her satchel.

"S-she chose to stay in Liyue to continue her research." Anya's voice wavered slightly when faced with the onslaught of both of your friends.

Jean-Pierre's jaw dropped and Monika spoke up.

"You let her stay there alone?" Monika was not having it.

Anya fumbled for a good answer.

"She's not alone... you know the man she saved in Mondstadt? Turns out he works in Liyue." Anya knew that wouldn't placate them entirely but she hoped her words would settle them a little bit.

Jean-Pierre recovered but was quickly growing enraged. He and Anya never got on well at all.

"You mean you left her with some guy?!" He was practically fuming as he spit out his words.

Anya was also getting annoyed with him.

"He's not some guy. They're... close now. Besides, he's far more powerful than any of us. If anything he'd be able to protect her better than you could." Anya shot back, not being able to resist taking a dig at Jean-Pierre. Monika raised an eyebrow at Anya's words.

"A powerful man from Snezhnaya?"

The instant those words left Monika's mouth Anya knew she had messed up. Badly.

"Who exactly is this man?" Jean-Pierre seethed through gritted teeth.

Anya searched for an answer, any answer, as another researcher stepped off the boat.

"Oh are you talking about the Harbinger?" The offhand comment made by the other researcher who happened to witness the exchange sank any attempts Anya could make to defend you.

Everyone froze. Anya could feel the cold sweat running down her back. This was not good.

Jean-Pierre spoke up. "Harbinger?"

"Yes. I overheard and assumed you were talking about the other researcher that stayed in Liyue with the Eleventh Harbinger." The research replied completely oblivious to the growing tension. Anya had lost all colour in her face as Jean-Pierre and Monika took in this new information before turning heated glares to her.

"Did Y/N stay back in Liyue with a Fatui Harbinger?" Jean-Pierre's eyes were deadly cold.

"S-She saved his life. He's completely devoted to her. He won't harm her." Anya could sense that she was only digging a deeper hole.

"Devoted.... You said they were close... How close?" Monika had crossed her arm and while she was slightly calmer than Jean-Pierre, her jaw was clenched tightly.

"I-I—" Anya's words were quickly cut off by Jean-Pierre.

"Forget it. I'm going to Liyue and I'm bringing Y/N back. I'll kill that bastard if I have to." Jean-Pierre had started walking away with his statement.

"Wait! You can't just leave! You'd have to petition the board for permission!" Anya called after him in a desperate attempt to stop him. Jean-Pierre slowly turned his head to look over his shoulder at the two women. His eyes were steely and cold.

"Watch me."

With that he turned on his heel and was gone.

Genshin Boys With A Dense Crush (Part 2)

Here is part 2~ so, the reason why I didn't include Bennett and Razor is the fact that I can never write for them, like IDK why but its just very hard for me. So yeah, sorry about that. Part 1 (Albedo, Childe and Diluc)

Chongyun

Dense + Dense = more dense

It was painfully obvious that Chongyun likes you but for some reason, he can’t quite figure that out for himself

But everyone around them knows

Xingqiu is actually on the road to writing a book about the two of you

Xiangling, Xinyan, Hu Tao, and Yan Fei are betting on how long until Chongyun realizes his feelings

Chongyun doesn’t know why he likes to see you every day, wants to have meals with you, and why he gets uncomfortable when he sees you with another person and smiling at them

Maybe it was the work of g-

“Oh I like them” -Chongyun one day when he woke up

He consulted his best friend Xingqiu about this and Xingqiu just placed his books down and said “dear archons finally, it was getting very painful to watch”

So the two started planning a cute little confession scenario

Somewhere Xinyan and Yan Fei are crying because they lost the best but Yan Fei is arguing that betting was illegal and has no ground in the law… Yan Fei, you betted with your conscience please stop

Anyway!

The pair of best friends decided to go with a simple type of confession because less is more in Xingqiu’s books

It was going so well, a cute dinner and all of that

“I like you Y/N, can we be more than that?”

Oh is that Xingqiu, Xiangling, Xinyan, Hu Tao, and Yan Fei spying on both of you from the bushes? Why, yes indeed.

“You want to be best friends Chongyun? But don’t you have Xingqiu as your best friend already?” - you with your ever so innocent voice and expression

Chongyun is frozen in place

Xingqiu, Xiangling, Xinyan, Hu Tao and Yan Fei are betting again this time how many times will Chongyun get a friendzone

Kaeya

Someone revive him

He can’t take your dense nature anymore

This is Kaeya after all everything he does allude to something so WHY WON'T YOU GET IT STILL

“Oh, Kaeya? You like someone!? Can you introduce me to them?” - you asking excitedly upon hearing his and Rosaria’s conversation

Kaeya was pretty sure he was describing you

Rosaria is holding back her laugh, she can't breathe… SOMEONE SAVE HER

“I love them but this dense attitude is too much!” - Kaeya as he slams his fist on top of Diluc’s bar

“Have you tried wooing them?” - Diluc as his wiping a glass down, he's so nonchalant about this situation LMAO

“HAVE I TRIED?” - Kaeya sounding very offended

“How about getting a white bed sheet and painting “will you marry me Y/N” on it?” - Rosaria

“Yeah, they leave me no ch-”

“Sit down, don’t embarrass yourself like a child” - Diluc pushing his brother down to sit

“HOW WILL I GET MY FEELINGS ACROSS THOUGH!”

“Just confess, normally… like… a normal person” - Diluc

Kaeya decided that in two days time he was going to confess to you, two days because he needed to make sure it was perfect

But the moment he saw you laughing with some random guy all the planning was thrown out the window

“Meet me in front of the church when the sun rises” - Kaeya to you when he passes by you at the corridor of the headquarters

When you arrived, he made you stand at the flight of stairs in front of the church while he went down

He kneeled with his right knee touching the ground and he pulled a very neatly folded white sheet from his pocket

He unraveled it and wrote, “WILL YOU MARRY ME Y/N?”

But even before you can react a thunderous shouting can be heard and a chuckle

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!? I SAID CONFESS NORMALLY!” -Diluc

Thoma

I’m going to try but still little info on this new pyro husband

Thoma is a very understanding boy

He likes you so much that he's willing to wait

But damn has he been waiting long

He decided he was going to confess to you today as well!

“Y/N! I like you!” - Thoma

“I like you too! You are like my best friend!” - you

Every time this happens Thoma stress eats.

Ayaka is giggling because he has never seen her friend like this

He's trying his best for you to like him, he cooks for you, takes care of you, guards you, protects you…

WHAT IS HE DOING WRONG!?

“You know the festival is ongoing” -Ayato as he watches his sister’s friend mop around like a puppy who has been kicked. “Why don’t you try confessing properly and straight-forwardly there?”

That gave him an idea

He dragged to the talisman-wishing thing and told you that you two should make one

When the both of you were done, you should each other what you made and to your surprise, Thoma made a drawing of the both of you holding hands

“It’s not us being best friends forever” - he clarified

“It’s me hoping to spend many more years beside you as your lover.”

Venti

Barbatos aka Venti the Bard has been singing a lot of love songs lately

Especially when you were in the audience watching

He always likes your smile especially when you were watching him

So when the two of you were strolling around near the church of Monstad

He decided that he was going to confess today

Years of being alone and he finally get what Vanessa told him about meeting the right person

“Y/N, I love you-”

“Aww, Venti, I love you too!”

“Really?!” - Venti very excitedly

“Yeah! I love you as a friend! We’re like besties!”

Dvalin felt that

Andrius felt that

Hell even Vanessa felt that from Celestia

“Oh I got to go, bestie, I have something to do! See you tomorrow!”

Lately, the winds of Monstad have been depressing?

“I don’t understand! I thought they liked me back!” Venti his chugging his alcohol while Diluc looked at him in irritation

Diluc wants to kick him out but Venti is Monstad’s archon so he decided against it

“Venti! There you are!” - you

Venti hears your voice and because his drunk his happy instead of upset

He throws himself at you in an attempt of a sloppy hug

“Y/N! I love you~”

“I love you too, we are fr-”

“NO! I LOVE YOU LIKE A SIGNIFICANT OTHER I LOVE YOU! THAT TYPE OF LOVE THAT IF YOU ASK ME TO FIGHT MORAX I WOULD!”

Xiao

When Xiao first had these feelings he was confused

He lived a long life and this was the first time in his life where when he sees someone his chest becomes constricted and warm

“Xiao! Do you like traveler!?” - you excitedly

Xiao felt a tightening in his chest not that good type but am i being stab right now type of tightening

His answer would usually be along the lines of no and he can’t have relationships with mortals

He usually has a lot more patience with you compared to others but hearing you say that he looks good with someone else just made something in him snap

He didn’t mean to shout at you nor did he mean it when he said you should leave him alone

That’s why he's waiting for you at Wangshun Inn, his loneliness grew into worry when after 2 days you weren’t back yet

Upon eavesdropping around he also found out that no one has seen you and your last known location was Mt. Hulao and he immediately began to worry because that place was prohibited to humans

“Are you looking for someone?” - Mountain Sharper appeared behind Xiao as he reached the top of Mt. Hulao. “Are you looking for a mortal perhaps?”

“How did-”

“-That mortal is pretty noisy, they don’t stop talking and they know you.”

Oh, the warm feeling in his chest is back because they were talking about him which means that they weren’t angry at him!

“Where are they!?” Xiao would realize and I swear to you his ready to break every amber rock around Mt.Hulao

“Calm down, they are currently collecting Qingxin flowers”

Right on cue, “XIAO!? IS THAT YOU!?” he heard your voice from behind him, when he saw you, he immediately rushes to you and hugs you

“What are you doing here!?” Xiao would ask, his voice was raised only because of relief

“Oh, I got lost! And Moon Sharper here saw me, we ended up chatting and I guess I forgot the time, he shared so many stories about y- WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT ARE YOU HURT!?”

“I’m alright… I just… I m-miss…”

Moon Sharper is just looking at this scene and he knows he's about to spill the hottest tea next time the adeptus (idk plural form okay) have a dinner party

Xingqiu

At first glance, it might look like that he isn’t affected at all

But internal his boiling

WHY WERE YOU SO DENSE

IF IT WEREN’T FOR HIS CLAN'S TEACHING AND WHAT NOT HIS PROBABLY ABOUT TO ASK YOU FOR A FIGHT

“You’ll make a great husband someday Xingqiu, I know it! Your future wife would be so happy!”

“I want you to be my wife though”

“What was that?”

“NOTHING!”

He knows he needs to move so he can win your heart but how can he when you were dodging every advance he makes

What is more frustrating is that YOU ARE NOT EVEN DOING IT ON PURPOSE

As an author he wants to experience romance first hand, so he tries to be romantic about it but this was frustrating

He decided to pull his last technique from his sleeves

He lent you a very romantic book and between one of the pages he inserted a paper that read “I wish for you to be my muse.”

If that doesn’t work Xingqiu is going to ask you to fight him

Zhongli

Zhongli, Rex Lapis aka Morax has lived thousands of years

Yet this is the first time he encountered someone so dense at first he taught you were just kidding and pretending but when he described what he likes in someone which was pertaining to you

You simply said “WOW THEY SOUND WONDERFUL AND YOU MUST REALLY LIKE THEM BECAUSE YOU SOUND SO IN LOVE” at his face with genuine awe, there was no sign of you being flustered and whatnot

Hu Tao was there to witness this and the younger female had a good laugh when she witnessed this

Zhongli is now praying to Guizhong for help and patience

He first wondered if the reason for such behavior was because you dislike him but it wasn’t the case because you would always smile when you see him

Which makes his knees very weak

In heaven, all the dead gods are laughing at him

He has lived for so many years and yet he doesn’t know what to do because he wants to spend years with you

But a part of him says this isn’t right because his an immortal and you were a mortal, someday him being a former god would drive an enigma in the future

That’s why he was also hesitating on his part

“Zhongli, look-look! A merchant from Monstad gave me a Cecilia!” - you snapping him from his thought, he's a tall man so you had to tip-toe to put the flower in his hair

“There you look even prettier now!” - you smiling up to him

As you were withdrawing your hand, Zhongli grabs it and places it in front of his lips

“I love you Y/N”
