Hatef--k - The Bravery for Boothill, don't @ me

ykno annonie at first i was like this song rlly suits him, but IDK how to write it for him, but after his lore leak i got an idea, then the trailer just solidifies this idea sdkjfhsdkjfhsdjk ALSO i've come to love this song hiehiehie

rays of lights beam into the dark elevator with each floor he passes through, with how fast he's moving up, boothill's gaze becomes sterner, the grip on the handle of his gun growing firmer, tighter.

this whole place reeks of money, the architecture, the design of so many things in this building and this does not exclude the elevator he's riding in. despite the tainted floors and broken elevator light, the speed the elevator now only increase his adrenaline and determination. it just goes to show how filthy rich these IPC bastards are to afford such accommodation.

annoyed, he clicks his tongue, head turning aside to see himself travelling higher and higher away from the ground of this planet he's on. he could careless at this point how eye-blinding those lines of light were, shining repetitively with every passing floor. the IPC has always made him sick, made him disgusted that he wishes to demolish and taunt whoever that works for them.

the bell rings, prompting him to leave the box immediately. it was no longer a surprise for him to be jumped at especially in areas with light in this building. hence he easily kicks them off with ease, sliding past clashing bodies of IPC guards and firing bullets right where it knocks them out. knocking them out quickly as if this was second nature to him.

he walks and walks down the now quiet hall, its brightness now dimmed thanks to the poor aim these armies of guards have when in panic. his heels drill into the carpeted floor with each step he took, the quietness occasionally disturbed by the clinks of his dangling glowing medallions.

despite being transferred into this metallic body, his surge still remains, just that his determination runs on different mediums now. it runs on fuel, it runs on those malt he chugged, it runs on his new mechanical, automatic heart. his goals and dreams remained unchanged.

but these ambitions of his are accompanied with emptiness. the feeling he dislikes but strives to heal from, but he knows deep down there is no way to permanently remove it out of himself. and it is all thanks to a certain man from the IPC that he's been taunting the IPC for for years-

oswaldo.

not caring to tear the picture of the man into two, he stood there solemnly in the dark of the hallway, staring at the small image of the man. the portrait of the man before him sickens him deep into his system.

the man who's all that but is nothing to the people who he had sabotaged, the man who's everything a person could look for to want for but is irrelevant to what a person needs. the lack of compassion this man has, it's all so clear in this sheet of paper on the bulletin.

oswaldo.

this man must have never felt what it's like to be at the feet of one's so called Aeons, to beg for forgiveness of wrongdoings that have yet to occur and for mercy that's not shown once for them. all of their lives were not worth of whatever plan the IPC has for their planet, their lives were robbed out of their grasps.

in the name of the siblings and parents and civilians he ahd grown up with, he'll hunt oswaldo down.

he'll hunt him down to his very grave, hunt him down into the innermost burning core of whatever planet if he has to.

"Sipping Success: How Prodeb Brewery Is Powering the Craft Beer Wave in Rajasthan"

The Rising Popularity of Craft Beer in Rajasthan

Rajasthan, long celebrated for its majestic forts and desert landscapes, is now seeing a cultural shift—especially in its urban centers. Cities like Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur are embracing modern lifestyles, and one of the clearest signs of this change is the growing demand for craft beer. Young professionals and urban consumers are increasingly drawn to premium, locally brewed options, creating an exciting opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to enter the craft beer market by setting up manufacturing units in the state.

Licensing and Legal Requirements for Setting Up a Brewery in Rajasthan

Starting a brewery in Rajasthan requires navigating several regulatory steps. All brewery operations fall under the purview of the State Excise Department. Here are some of the key licenses you’ll need:

Brewery License (Form B): Essential for running a commercial or microbrewery.

Manufacturing License: Needed to legally produce alcoholic beverages.

Trade License: Issued by the local municipal body.

No Objection Certificates (NOC): Required from the Fire Department and Pollution Control Board.

It's highly recommended to work with a local excise consultant or legal advisor to ensure a smooth and compliant setup process.

Choosing the Right Location for Your Brewery

Location can make or break your brewery's success. Urban hubs like Jaipur, Udaipur, and Kota are great choices due to their high footfall and strong tourism industry. When selecting a spot, consider:

Areas with heavy foot traffic such as malls or tourist zones

Reliable access to utilities (water, electricity, drainage)

Easy logistics for raw material delivery and product distribution

Proximity to your target customer base

Industrial areas are ideal for large-scale units, while commercial zones are perfect for microbreweries connected to restaurants or pubs.

Sourcing Raw Materials for Craft Beer in Rajasthan

High-quality ingredients are the backbone of any great beer. For breweries in Rajasthan, here’s what you’ll need:

Malted Barley: Sourced from states like Punjab and Haryana or imported

Hops: Grown in Himachal Pradesh or imported from the U.S. and Germany

Yeast: Various strains based on your beer style (lager, ale, Belgian, etc.)

Water: Needs to be purified and mineral-balanced for brewing

At Prodeb, we help you establish a strong supply chain to ensure consistent ingredient quality and storage solutions.

Brewing Beer That Suits the Local Palate

Understanding your customers’ taste preferences is crucial. Given Rajasthan’s hot climate, lighter beers such as wheat beers, lagers, and pale ales tend to perform well. However, there’s increasing interest in a variety of styles including:

India Pale Ales (IPA)

Stouts and Porters

Belgian Witbier

Fruity or Sour Ales

Introducing seasonal brews or experimenting with unique flavors can help you stand out in a competitive market.

Hiring and Training Your Brewery Team

Running a successful brewery requires a dedicated and well-trained team. Key roles include:

Brewmaster

Assistant Brewer

Cellar Worker

Quality Control Analyst

Sales & Marketing Executives

Prodeb offers on-site training programs to teach your team brewing methods, equipment handling, sanitation protocols, and quality checks.

Marketing Your Craft Brewery in Rajasthan

Marketing is vital to attract and retain customers. A strong brand identity paired with the right promotional mix can do wonders. Consider:

Using Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for storytelling and visuals

Optimizing your Google My Business listing and investing in local SEO

Partnering with local cafes or restaurants to promote your beer

Hosting beer-tasting events and participating in local festivals

Your branding—whether it's rustic, quirky, luxurious, or industrial—should reflect your brewery’s unique vibe.

Pylori the Cause of Peptic Ulcers Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) is known to be a bacteria found in the inner lining of the human stomach. Once in the stomach lining, it is known to produce a lot of chemicals into the human stomach that potentially damage the stomach lining. The infection is very difficult to eradicate and can persist for years over and even in some cases for life (Gastroenterological Society of Australia, 2006). H. pylori causes inflammation of the persistent inflammation of the inner lining of the stomach (gastritis) hence counted as one of the top causes of ulcers in the world. It has been observed that the H. pylori is commonly spread or transmitted through contaminated food or water or through infected person to another person contact (Dennis Lee, 2011). Dennis further estimates that 30% of all Americans are infected by the bacterium and among them, 50% are infected at the age of 60 years and above as Dennis Lee postulates. The infection is very common among the people living under crowded neighborhoods since it is easy to pass it from one person to the other as well as from one family to the next. Poor sanitation also exacerbates the situation with an estimated 90% of the adults living in the extremely poor sanitation conditions being prone to infection. Once the person is infected, he carries the infection indefinitely unless he undergoes thorough treatment and medication to eradicate the bacterium from the body. It is estimated that one out of every six patients of the bacterium will suffer from ulcers of the duodenum or stomach. H. pylori is also associated with the stomach cancer and to some extent the rare kind of lymphocytic tumor of the stomach called MALT lymphoma. Diagnosis of H. pylori There are accurate and quite simple ways of diagnosing the presence of H. Pylori in the contemporary medical fields. These tests include urea breath test, endoscopic biopsies (gastroscopy), antibody test and stool antigen tests. Antibody testing; this relies on the detection of lgG antibodies that are specific to the H. pylori bacterium. It is widely used because it is cheap and readily available. There are various testing mechanisms available like Western blot testing, immunochromatography, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, this test can only be used to detect the presence of H. pylori and not to confirm the effectiveness of the antibiotics administered since there can be persistent presence of the antibodies even after the H. pylori has been cleared (The BreathID System, 2011). Endoscopy (gastroscopy); this is where the physicians take a clear look at the condition in the digestive tract and extracting samples of the stomach or intestinal lumen for further analysis. This is hardly used for detection of H. pylori alone but for ruling out the existence of other stomach maladies. It is quite expensive and requires a highly skilled physician. Stool Antigen Test; this is when the stool is analyzed for detection of any foreign antigens or proteins that are associated with H. pylori infection. The stool is known to be very sensitive and can also be use to assess the infection status after the treatment has commenced. The disadvantage of this method is that it absolutely depends upon the participation and compliance of the patient, it is inconvenient to handle and the results are not immediate. Urea breath test; it is used to detect the presence of H. pylori bacteria in the stomach. It can also be used to detect whether the treatment has worked, the problem with this test is that it is not always available (WebMD LLC, 2011). Treatment of H. pylori There are a series of pharmacological therapy that have been used in treating the H. pylori bacterium in the human body. The following are the most common pharmacological therapy as indicated in American Academy of Family Physicians (2002); Antibiotics; here antibiotics like Amoxicillin which is a synthetic penicillin is proven to be one of the most effective antibiotic for H. pylori. This rug has the ability to rapidly accumulate into antral mucosa through the systematic circulation. The effectiveness of this drug highly depends on the pH level, with the increase in pH level there is a reduction in the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). Acid reducers; it has been noted that H. pylori organism thrives best in an acidic environment. For a better response to the antibiotic therapy, histamineH2-receptor antagonists (H2RA) or a PPI has been shown to improve the success of the antibiotic therapy. Bismuth Compounds; these are compounds that don't have substantial acid-neutralizing capacity though are known to inhibit pepsin as well as increase the secretion of mucus which consequently forma a barrier that acts as a barrier to the diffusion of acid in the ulcer crater. The compound also cause detachment of H. pylori from the gastric epithelium and upset bacterial cell walls, ending up in lysis of the bacterium.

Falstaff Brewing Corporation - Wikipedia

This is the beer company and they did sign on with Craig beer or brewery it's Krug and that is out of Omaha and there's one also out of Indiana it's a brewery and that's where we making it with people there who would be you people and we want to introduce the idea to the community and they will probably go nuts and say it's a good idea especially the hard alcohol and we do have an idea what we're doing so we are going to go ahead with this it's an awesome idea people love it okay and we won't have our own delivery system because it's too many people to deliver to and too many people she would pick up and then he just just like going to the liquor store anyways and it's going to be a massive hit and it's recession proof

Thor Freya

It is a fine beer the actual beer Falstaff and we'd be selling that beer and I would be selling our line of hard alcohol a little later beer is hard to sell mail order people don't believe it'll work the special packaging you can put it in it's air bubbles and it works pretty good on this other stuff that works better but really we are going to ship it to us it'll be fine and FedEx UPS they don't drive too far and the roads are much smoother than they used to be LOL it's true though. We are going to start this business ASAP he wants all the Brewers who want to do the brewing to get down there and to hire some wise asses and nimrods and dildos of theirs and that's what it is and tell them that the wages are decent and you get health insurance right away if you have problems that the company can help and things like that and things like that and we're going to provide employees with Fal staff gear for real and he's not joking. I'm going to set up the program I'm interested in this and he wants to set up his jug stuff and our mug stuff and I remember I helped with that it's a beer mug it's a four pack it's as big as the Heineken but it has a handle and people love the Heineken one but no handle and I know how to do it it's on the hinge and it snaps in and it's plastic and it works all night and people reuse it I got to do this this is an awesome idea and it's going to sell like madness even the kegs there's a way to do that with a keg if you pressurize it and we can pressurize the plastic and it'll keep it busy now we're going to go ahead and do this and I'm interested and I want mine to come forward that are interested in he's calling his people and his son and daughter-in-law and the other ones and he wants them to do it and experience the Midwest like they haven't they probably did but he knows what he's saying this is going to be different and you're going ahead with it and they have experienced it but this will be different people need to look at it now and yeah they have a malt and it's very nice and it will sell like madness and he's saying we should start with it like it's a specialty beer and sell it inexpensively possibly we do we do accept that as the reality

Zig Zag

We're getting really down agree meaning is this is real and they're accepting the idea and they want to do it and he wants to have programs that make sense like Germans would but more like Americans a gentler situation and people have room for advancement and there's distribution they could run outside of the Midwest and they want to do it a lot of people are interested there's big huge distributorships that we have that are empty and and there's warm and cold storage and they'll be kegs for businesses and they're going to start getting involved right now they say. Falstaff is in New Orleans and we'd be hiring people and we would be the board but we would have a board down there too to run that division and people want to sign up for it

Hera

I'm for that and I we need this now there's going to be so many employees it's not even funny we need to track it and they don't they know what we're saying so we're getting on it now

Zig Zag

He said he hasn't heard this kind of thing from us for a little this is kind of our thing and we do see it was out of control we went a second crack at it and we're not just going to fly the market but it's going to be fast and tons of it and we have to watch it and he wants to sell hard stuff cuz they want to use it on us it does make devices the crew that they can be dangerous and he wants to have race cars it's a German beer and it is from Germany but his father and mother approve and he says I want to start with the Baja it's a healthy beer it has nutrients and these days are probably sell there better than other places it has preservatives and they drink a lot of other beers it doesn't help but this would help them they have more so if you're positive a little bit instead of all native for the most part and he wants to have a car painted up all over it and he wants to make it out of the slingshot that's his stuff and no he says oops that's his stuff too it's the Can-Am and she's going to make one out of the Polaris the same company and they're going to compete within the same team and he's going to get help from Germans now our Germans cause and causes and it's going to be great gods and goddesses and it's going to be great this is going to be awesome to help make the car he wants them involved he wants to make the car today and we can tour around and race around with them and have them help come up with the company program with zigzag and he's into it and he wants to help and get it going if they're into it now and they're going to come over and help out and set up breweries and start them up we're going to do the fast Brew and the hard stuff too and we're moving out we have breweries that make those already but we're going to make Brewers nearby the pier place I'm going to start hiring people out there

Thor Freya

It is like a smaller race circuit it almost anybody can enter and your idea of running next door to them and beating them and trying to enter that way is a great idea that they'll take it as a challenge they want to see what it is and how it's made and then start converting them and stop whining and complaining I might turn into human beings and even the pseudo empire it's something to do too and it's game before it would that be a lot of fun going in there with our own beer company and winning races would be out of control but they're going to be running it and we do see that now we're going ahead with this

Black God and black goddess and the other side that's Hera her family too and a lot more of us and they'll be a list attached

Olympus

I'm so pleased that it's not even funny it's really an American company and the guys want to say stuff

Hera

This is a great idea we have all your ideas in and everybody wants to do it and all of Thor and Freya and Harrah's ideas and they're wonderful but this idea is great beer me and I think you had it before and she may have come up with it she always does and we're looking at someone's saying maybe which means it probably is and Ken wants to be involved and a sudden ask him how much he knows about New Orleans and daughter and son ask him that and he says pretty much the whole thing this is good if you need to craw Daddy's make sure you're near a bathroom and he says okay. This is also open up the avenue for other stuff to come down boats and things like that we have an idea for a boat company to make boat holes stamped and have them assemble them in a factory and Tommy Allen is listening and he says I can do that and he says you can do the top end interiors we could do the stamp the mechanical and the body for the top end you guys would fit it it says that's how you say it but that's true cuz our stuff is quality and it's cheap and it works and it's closing quick and your stuff will be quick to make and stamped metal is a very nice thing and we would bolt it together and stitch it on the inside and really it takes it takes minutes and you bought it the stamp it bolted with some adhesive and you put the items controls and everything in and frame and then you put the top it's really quick I mean it is just unbelievably quick everything goes in like a car when you do it this way but we will be shipping everything separate it's much faster so they're interested and we want to do this company for the beer and we want to have cigarette boats so you want wants us to do that and help out with the car but he wants father and mother to do that from Germany cuz it's a vehicle and he wants them to help out with it make sure it's engineered right if you know what I mean. It's not in racing but you don't have to be in production to be in racing or in racing so we're going to try and do that we're getting going on this now

Frank Castle hardcastle

They're actually excited about it and we know about it and we put it there and then eyeball it and we know what to do about it it's a nice plant I'm down in New Orleans and we will bring new equipment down and he shows an image of that huge pressure vessel it's a little bit big it's not that much bigger than what we would use for real and our pressure vessels are like 500 ft no that's crazy but yeah that's how he thinks to see this gigantic plant okay he said it's going to get really big and we might have to do that and so we're going to get ready

Duke nukem Blockbuster oh terrific it's huge and it's me it's not abnormal

1) “Let’s Do a Science!”: The start of a comic I was gonna do about testing the limits of DJSS’s size-shifting powers. Here’s the beginning of the first draft, but I think it meanders too much, so if I do come back to this comic, I’m probably just gonna start it at the experimentation.

NJ(looking at DJ): Hm... DJ: What is it?

NJ: When you shape-shift, your clothes grow with you, right? So does that work on anything you're holding?

DJ: I've never tried it. NJ: You've never been curious about that? DJ: I've thought about it, but I've never done it. NJ: Then let's try it out! DJ: No way. NJ: Why not?? I really want to see what will happen! DJ: It takes too much energy to grow that much. NJ: Does it? DJ: Jay, if I could just be big whenever I wanted, then I wouldn't be this short.

2) (White) 1010 Relationship Headcanons: I was making a chart to show how well each 1010 gets along with each other. This is for Canonish.

Best Friends <-> Enemies: How friendly they are with each other.

White is significantly closer to Red than the others for reasons I’ve already talked about, and even in Canonish, Green is the 1010 he gets along with the least, but they’re still amicable. It’s just that Green is a little more openly mischievous in Canonish along with Yellow, so they wear him out a bit more. Blue is just kinda normal with him.

Totally in Sync <-> Different Wavelengths:

How similar they are to each other and how often they are to agree with one another. Despite getting along with him the least, White and Green usually agree most of the time, since they’re both level-headed for the most part. Yellow and Blue tend to be a little too extreme for him to handle, between Blue’s 0 or 100 attitude and Yellow’s bizarre functions, White really has his hands full.

Complete Respect <-> No Respect:

As the leader, White respects all of his subordinates equally. Any variation is only due to their ranking in the system. When it comes to taking care of his team, he considers all of their concerns and suggestions with an equal amount of care, no matter how ridiculous they may be.

3) “15″: Just a White/Green doodle for the Malt Shop AU. I think it’s a little boring though, it could stand to be zoomed out a bit more to do some cuter posing. I will finish the key drawings for this series, there’s just other things I’ve wanted to work on more.

4-5) Kun3h0 doodles.

6) Yogurt doodle. I found some holographic star ribbon in my stash, so I might swap out his collar and add some more accessories.

7) OC Doodles. Just doodles of some of my OCs. It started as being graphics for a hypothetical fighting game, but it devolved into just doodling them.

From left to right: Kun3h0, Carol, The Prince Formerly Known as Frog, Shapeshifter, Android.

For fun, I also made some alt colors for Carol, but I’m not gonna post ‘em all because I really need to fix him anyway. (He’s holding his knife the wrong way for starters XP.) But here are their names, so maybe you can just guess what the references would have been.

Contract Manufacturing of Malt Extract: Partnering for Effectiveness and Quality

The processing of malt results in dried or liquid forms of sweeteners known as malt extract. Standard malt extracts, specialty and black malt extracts and coextracts are the different types of malt extracts. Standard Malt Extracts represented the initial sweeteners derived from grains. A mixture of malted barley and water produces high-maltose syrup through the process. The Malt Extract contract manufacturing helps food industries obtain high-quality production outputs.

Advantages of Contract Manufacturing for Malt Extract

Malt extract manufacturing under contract represents a precise industrial method. A process exists to make malted milk food products that serve various brand requirements. Major companies decide to work with external manufacturers to produce their products. The combination protects quality while producing cost reductions. Manufacturing contracts remove the requirement for significant investments in production facilities.

Enterprises gain the ability to develop their brands while conducting marketing initiatives. The production expertise of third-party manufacturers includes malted milk food manufacturing operations. The manufacturers maintain uniformity in taste along with texture and product quality standards. Scalability is another major advantage. The manufacturing facilities run by contractual agreements can adjust to market requirements without needing additional financial investments.

The manufacturing practices allow for meeting industry-established requirements. Positive reputation growth among customers arises from how much they trust the brand. Many third-party manufacturers provide whole manufacturing solutions directly to their client organisations. All stages from raw material acquisition to processing and packaging through distribution are part of these service offerings. The process reduces operational complexity for companies. Companies escape the limited burden of producing logistics management.

Find the Appropriate Third-Party Manufacturer for Malted Milk Products

Selecting an appropriate third-party manufacturer for producing malted milk foods represents a crucial decision path. A reliable malted milk foods third-party manufacturer constitutes a crucial element for selection. The evaluation process starts with analyzing their background in producing malted milk foods.

The obtaining of quality certifications represents an essential condition. Every manufacturer operating in the food industry needs to follow existing food safety regulations. The industrial operation must hold quality certifications for ISO FSSAI and GMP. The certifications act as guarantees to verify product safety aspects and hygiene standards. A business must address production capability as a fundamental aspect.

The manufacturer needs enough capacity to handle the required order levels from customers. Companies that experience strong market interest need to choose manufacturers who can fulfil their production requirements efficiently. The process of efficiency depends heavily on advanced technology and equipment.

Cost-effectiveness functions as a significant factor in market decisions. Compactree Brands needs to evaluate different pricing systems to decide which manufacturer to choose.

Conclusion

The Malt Extract contract manufacturing proves beneficial for brand operations. Through this approach, manufacturers receive budget-friendly solutions while maintaining guaranteed product quality. Pick the right third-party manufacturer as it will secure your market presence in the long term.

if the world was ending ~ jj maybank song fic ✨100 special✨

summary - song fic inspired by ‘if the world was ending’ by jp saxe and julia michaels

gif by @toesure

word count - 4.0k

warnings - mentions of abuse and anxiety, angst!!, fluff

It was impossible to sleep. Hurricane Maggie was the biggest that Kildare had seen in years, and it was horrifying. Looking at your boarded-up windows, you passed a hand through your hair anxiously. You turned your focus back to the flashing television with warnings in bright colors filling the entirety of the display. Exhaling shakily, you turned on your phone. No new messages were shown and the screen soon flashed its “No Signal” warning. Shit.

It had been months since you and JJ decided to break up, and ever since you two had been slowly drifting apart. Even though your separation was technically mutual, it wasn’t. Breaking up with the boy was the last thing you wanted to do, but he thought it was best for both of you. After a year of being together, he still had a difficult time telling you about the mottled bruises on his body that you knew weren’t from biking accidents, about the nightmares he’d have that woke him up at night, about the way he would flinch when you moved too quickly. After hours of tear-filled argument with JJ, you two spent your last night in the same bed, and he was out of your house the next day. Despite still being friendly with the pogues, you didn’t show up to their parties or lake days as much. Seeing JJ flirt with other girls, even if it was 50 yards away from you, still felt like a knife in your heart. And him locking eyes with you during it was just twisting the knife.

JJ wasn’t your JJ anymore. And you weren’t his Y/N. Even though you hadn’t spoken in weeks, you couldn’t think of anything but him when the sirens began blaring. JJ loved to surf the amazing waves that hurricanes would create, and you doubted that Maggie’s waves would be any different. It made your breath catch in your throat when you thought of him out drinking alone, him surfing the hurricane, or, God forbid, him being stuck in his house for the duration of the storm. You felt tears prick at your eyes, knowing that he didn’t have any reason to tell you where he was or that he was safe anymore. Everyone knew Maggie would do damage, especially on The Cut, and your home was right in the danger zone. You could have stayed at Kiara’s place, but you wouldn’t have felt any safer there than you would have at home, alone. Honestly, you couldn’t care less about what happened to your house. It was a house, it can be fixed up or replaced. You laid back down on your bed, closing your eyes as all of the most dangerous scenarios your brain could conjure up flashed behind your eyes. JJ being sucked under by the surge, your home collapsing on you, JJ caught in the exposed wiring, everything scared you. You had no right to him anymore. But goddamnit, the entire fucking island was in panic mode, why couldn’t he just tell you that he was okay? Tears spilled down your cheeks as you maneuvered to settle your body under the covers, the sound of rain pelting against all sides of your home echoing through the room. You could hear one of your windows shatter, and you shut your eyes tightly. You were trying to picture being anywhere else, and what you pictured was JJ’s arms around you, holding you tightly against him while he set his head on your shoulder. It felt shameful to think of JJ as your safe haven when you hadn’t been in his arms in months, but it was the only thing calming you enough to steady your breathing as you choked back sobs.

As much as you didn’t want to admit it, JJ still held your heart fully in his hands. And right now, he was squeezing it tighter and tighter, the hole in your chest growing larger by the minute. You had thought that whatever tether attached you to him would be cut once he left you that day, but it just kept pulling. It was tighter than ever now, and the feeling of it pulling your soul from your body grew stronger the longer you stayed away from him, and it was cruel. The feeling made the whole of your body ache — Your head hurt, your chest felt tight, your legs were weak, and your arms were vacant and they pulsed with pain. It was unbearable.

The throbbing in your head worsened as something was flung against your front door. You sat up as the noise came again, even though it startled you, you knew it was likely a tree that fell. You got up to pad down the hall to your open kitchen as sleep evaded you. Trying to flick the lights on was no use, there was no power. Sighing, you grabbed a bottle of water from the counter and cracked it open. There was no alcohol in your house, as much as you truly wanted some right now. You’d given up drinking after splitting with JJ. It would have been to easy to swallow down all of the hurt, and not feeling it would have only been worse. As you walked to your couch to grab a blanket, your door swung open. JJ was standing there, sopping wet. You could see that a mixture of tears and rain stained his cheeks, his red and swollen eyes giving him away.

“Y/N,” JJ whispered, shutting the door behind him. His blue eyes contrasted the redness starkly, and they pierced through me. “I don’t… I was gonna surf the hurricane but I know you would’ve never forgiven me,” he laughed bitterly, shaking his head. “And I just — I sat in my room and the only thing I could think of was if you were alone. I know you aren’t mine anymore, I know I fucked that up. But I couldn’t stand thinking of you staying here alone.”

You didn’t know what to say. You’d been wanting him back for six months, and now he shows up at your doorstep at two in the morning. In the middle of a hurricane. Dripping wet. You didn’t say anything, you just walked towards him and wrapped your arms around his waist, holding him against you while you buried your head in his chest. You half expected him to push you off of him, but instead, he rested his chin on the top of your head before dropping it down to your shoulders. His arms quickly looped around you to hold you just as tightly while hot tears rolled down his face.

“God, I’m so sorry, Y/N.” He said, in between his hiccups and sobs. He wasn’t drunk for once. He was just so tired of fucking up, and he couldn’t handle it anymore.

You’d never seen him like this. He never let you. But now, JJ was breaking down in your arms, and he was trusting you fully. You were the one holding his heart, and he didn’t want it back.

“Shh, J. You’re alright.” You told him, fighting back the tears that welled in your eyes. You pulled back from him just enough to look at his face. “You’re gonna be freezing if you stay in these clothes. You need a shower and something dry to wear, okay?” He nodded sluggishly. “Here, come with me.”

You led JJ to your room and had him wait as you dug around in your closet to find the box of clothes JJ had kept at your place for the nights he stayed over. You debated tossing them out when you found them a couple of weeks after he left, but couldn’t bring yourself to part with them. Instead, you would find yourself digging out his Kildare sweatshirt to wear when you missed him, and his gym shorts to sleep in when it was one of your sleepless nights. Eventually, the clothes lost his scent and stopped being something consolatory. Instead, they became a source of resentment, but no matter how many times you tried to convince yourself to throw them out, they always wound up right back in the corner of your closet. You walked out with the bin, placing it on the bed and rifling through it to find something warm for him, finally settling on sweatpants and a worn Kildare tee.

“I can’t believe you kept those. I always figured you would have burned them or something,” JJ mumbled as he walked up beside you.

“I thought about it,” you said plainly. “I was gonna have ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ playing and everything.” JJ smiled slightly, knowing you were still half-serious. You tilted your head to look at him and sighed. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes red-rimmed and puffy, and he definitely smelled like malt. You sighed because you knew exactly how little you could trust him in the shower while drunk. Usually, after keggers, you and your boyfriend would shower together so that you could keep an eye on him, as you were usually the soberest between the two of you. You’d wash him as you dodged his kisses, giggling at how lovey he was. JJ had fallen before, the dumbass, so you didn’t want him in there alone, but being alone with him was also the last thing you wanted.

“JJ?” He hummed slightly, swaying. “You aren’t sober enough to shower by yourself are you?”

JJ’s eyes widened at you and his cheeks heated up. He shook his head, knowing damn well that he would fail a sobriety test before it even started. “I mean, I could probably do it or just go without—”

“Nope, you’re swaying just standing here, and you smell like a distillery, J. C’mon.” You start off to your bathroom while JJ trails closely behind. Once you’re in, you turn on the showerhead to let it warm up. You turn around to find JJ with his shirt already off and grabbing a towel from your cupboard, handing you one. “What’s this for?”

He looks at his outstretched arm with confusion. “Shower. We’re gonna shower, right?” He says to you, tilting his head. Goddamnit, he always was a cute drunk.

“J, you’re gonna shower, I’m gonna stay out here.”

“Oh. That’s right.” He sets your towel down on the ceramic of the sink. “So, like... are you gonna let me get undressed now?” You smiled to yourself at how flustered JJ was, and you knew it wasn’t just the booze in his system.

“We dated for a year, JJ, I’ve seen you naked plenty of times,” you say as you hopped up on the sink, dangling your legs off of the edge. You crossed your arms over your chest as the blonde nodded to you before he stripped down to only his boxers. As he walked to check the temperature of the shower you saw the bruises and scars that littered his back, sides, and chest, and you winced. He looked back at you, noticing the look on your face.

“Not used to seeing them anymore, I guess, huh?” He asked quietly. You shook your head at him, tearing your gaze away from the bruises to meet his eyes. “You sure you don’t wanna join me?”

You gulped, shifting your eyes off of him. Honestly, a large part of you wanted to follow him in there and have it be like it was months ago. The other part of you, though, still hurt just thinking of him and burned with rage at the thought of acting as though nothing had happened. “Don’t tempt me, Maybank,” you said quietly while averting your gaze. He nodded softly and pulled off his boxers before stepping in to take his shower. Setting your head in your hands, you exhaled harshly. You were trying to puff out all of your confusion and hurt, and inhaled confidence.

Before you realized what you were doing, you had stripped down to nothing and stepped inside of your shower to join JJ, making him jump slightly when he heard the curtains being pulled.

“Y/N you don’t have to do this, okay? What the hell are you doing?”

“Just let me be here with you JJ, alright? Just let me be happy for a minute. You at least owe me that,” you murmured, pushing his damp hair away from his eyes. The boy nodded at you, his eyes shining brightly as always.

“I owe you way more than that, actually.” You stared at him for a moment, taking in the sight you’d been dreaming of for the past hundred-and-some days. Once your eyes trailed back to meet JJ’s, you turned around to grab the soaps you kept on the shower shelf. Opening one up, you tell JJ to give him your hands before you pour some of the suds into his open palms.

“They haven’t changed since I left,” he says while lathering the soap on to himself. JJ would always use your shampoos and body washes when he stayed over, liking the sweet scent of your soaps rather than the sandalwood option you had purchased for him. You did get rid of that soap, it was about the only thing of his you could bring yourself to throw out. Probably because it wasn’t really his.

You nodded, also scrubbing some of the soap into your hair. He reached out to wipe away some of the suds that were making their way towards your eyes, and it made you grin. JJ dipped his head under the stream of water to wash away the bubbles in his hair before shaking it out. You two did a little swap of places so that you were able to do the same, rinsing the shampoo out before working conditioner into your hair, and twisting it up into a bun. Turning your head to look for the body wash, you see JJ has already grabbed it and poured some out onto a washcloth. He had that damned boyish look in his eye that he always used to have when the two of you were alone together.

Stepping behind you, JJ murmurs into your ear. “I know I owe you for a lot of shit things I did, but can I start with this?” He slid the soapy rag over your stomach, resting it there to wait for your response.

Your head was spinning, and you felt like you were the intoxicated one now. Without thinking, you nodded your head, relaxing your muscles as JJ smoothly moved the rag along the curves of your body. You rested your back against his chest lightly, enjoying the familiar feeling. You could feel JJ’s warm breath against your neck as he washed you, and the realization that this was the most intimate feeling you’d had in months slowly sunk in. You turned your head to look at JJ — He had his lip tucked between his teeth as his eyes shifted to your own. He knew that lip thing was always a turn on for you, even though he wasn’t doing it intentionally this time.

“You okay with this?” He asked with worried eyes, taking his hands off of you.

“Yes, yeah, I’m okay, J. I just missed this,” you sighed, passing a hand over your face. “I missed this more than I thought I did.” You looked away from him, wishing he didn’t move his hands away. “Look, I just don’t want to do this shit and then get hurt again, JJ. You know I loved you, I know you loved me, so why did you leave?”

“Y/N,” he said softly, tilting your head up to look at him. “You’re right, I loved you. I still do. But when I broke up with you, I did it because I was scared. I was scared I’d turn into my father, scared that I didn’t deserve you, scared I’d try and hide things from you like I do with my father,” JJ sighed. “I’m sorry I was so stupid, and I’m sorry that I hurt you. I thought I was doing it because I loved you, and I was saving you from myself. But I was just hurting you. I’m not Luke,” he said while shaking his head, “I won’t let myself be like him. I wouldn’t hurt you, I wouldn’t even think of it. I was running from you because I didn’t think I deserved you. I didn’t believe I deserved you loving me so damn much.” JJ had tears shining in his eyes that matched your own.

“JJ, I sat in my room for months crying over you. I was panicking that you’d be trapped with Luke tonight, I wanted to go find you. I was terrified when you didn’t even say that you were okay,” you whispered, tears tracking down your cheeks. “God, when you came through that door I didn’t know if I was angry or happy. I still love being in your arms, but it makes me so angry to be held by you. I still fucking love you, even though I tried not to.”

Tears slipped out from JJ’s red eyes as he ran his hands through his wet hair. “I still love you too, Y/N. I never stopped. I don’t expect you to take me back — hell, I'd be shocked if you did — but if you want to try again, I want to, too. I want to be better for you.”

You wiped at your eyes, not knowing which drops were from the shower, or which were from your salty tears. You didn’t want to be hurt again, but you knew your heart wouldn’t be whole again unless you were with JJ. You knew he wasn’t Luke. You knew because JJ kissed you sweetly, he talked to you lovingly anytime he got the chance, he held you when your mind was out of control, and he never got angry with you. Of course, you two had had your arguments — but you worked them out together, both of you listening to the other’s concerns and talking out solutions.

“Of course I want you back, JJ.” You shook your head at him and turned the shower off. “But we’re not going to be back at the same place we ended. I have to know I can trust you again. You know that, right?”

JJ nodded at you, sniffling quietly. “I can do that... I can do that, Y/N.” He followed you onto the tiled floor, standing as water dripped off of him with quiet thuds. While you wrapped a towel around yourself and grabbed the other JJ pulled on his sweatpants. You walked over to the boy and draped the towel around his shoulders as he thanked you. JJ gazed adoringly at you, enamored by everything about you. The curve of your lips, the way strands of your hair were pasted to your forehead, the flecks of different colors within your y/e/c irises. He loved the mundane things he could do with you, and he loved the fact that you didn’t step back from him even more.

You cocked your eyebrow at JJ when you notice his staring. His eyes were focused on your lips, and he dipped his head down to level with your own. Your heart fluttered rapidly as your lips met, and it felt like your heart would beat directly out of your chest. His hand slid to cup your cheek, and yours moved to his shoulders. The only thing that mattered to you was JJ’s mouth on yours, and the throbbing pain inside of your head and throughout your body was replaced with a floating feeling. No more pain, just the warmth of JJ’s body enveloping your own. The kiss was soft and effortless — hypnotic, even — and the connection of your lips was reforming the burned bridge that linked you. The sweet scent of your skin made JJ grin and the velvety feel of your skin against his rough fingertips felt familiar; It was everything that he’d been craving for the last few months.

As he swiped his tongue across your lip, you pulled back to rest your forehead against his. His eyes were glittering like ice, as always. The intimacy of the moment felt so perfect, you didn’t want to say anything to ruin it, but you hadn’t gotten any rest all night, and you doubt JJ had either. “JJ, let’s lay down, okay?”

He hummed to you, his grin not faltering. He knew nothing more than kissing would happen tonight, but the thought of just sleeping in the same bed as you made him fidgety. JJ played with the strings on his sweatpants as he waited for you to finish getting dressed, having pulled on his shirt in the meantime. When you called for him to come out to your room he grinned, seeing you sitting on your bed while wearing one of the old tee’s he had left for you. You patted the space on the bed next to you for JJ to lay down with you. Once he walked over and slid under the covers with you, you both laid on your sides to look at each other. You reached for his hand, his fingers lacing with yours as he inspected your small hand enveloped in his.

“You never took that ring off, either,” he mumbled. The cold metal of the ring pressed against your skin, the one with JJ’s initials engraved in it that he had given you for one of your small anniversaries. You saw his matching one on his finger, the black metal had your own initials carved in. You let your gaze fall back on his face, seeing for the first time how tired his eyes were and the darkness underneath them.

“It's weird to lay like this, isn't it?” You asked with a small laugh, dropping JJ’s hand as he cracked a smile and shook his head. He would have slept on a pile of rocks if it meant that he would be close to you. You jumped as the thunder cracked violently and lightning illuminated the room. JJ opened his arms and you crawled over to him, his arms encircling you to hold you against him. Resting your head against his heart, you felt JJ press his lips against your hair and a wave of warmth washed over the both of you.

“I remember just how much you hated storms. I know you could never sleep when they happened,” JJ mumbled to you while tilting his head back to look at your figure, completely relaxed against him in the darkness. You opted to set your chin on his chest to meet his eyes. “Are you glad I came tonight? Or do you hate me even more, now?”

Even in the shadow of midnight, you could still see the sparkle of JJ’s eyes and the outline of his angular cheeks. His eyes searched yours in the second of silence before your response. “I’m so incredibly happy you came, J.” You moved almost imperceptibly, positioning yourself so that your face was slightly above JJ’s while his hands shifted from their previous position down to lay on your hips. You slid your fingertips along his jaw and lowered your lips to meet his as your eyes fluttered closed. JJ kissed you delicately, his lips sliding like velvet against your own. Your hand slid to the back of his head to tangle itself into his golden locks, his lips parting as you did. Butterflies erupted in JJ’s stomach and heat rose to his cheeks — it felt like the first time you had ever kissed him, and his head was dizzy from desire. The two of you laid like that for hours, your mouths moving together carefully, both of you entranced by one another yet again.

Finally, with JJ’s hand locked in yours, your world has stopped crumbling beneath your feet.
