Stillness

The quite allows you time to think the loudest.

Fandom: Court of Roses (Webcomic) Rating: General Audiences Relationship: Merlow the Rose/Nocturne (Court of Roses) Additional Tags: Other Characters are mentioned, Sort of a self-reflection story, Nocturne is such an interesting character, I mean they all are, Just let me focus on one thing at a time please, Deep thoughts come in early morning or late nights, no kissing but this is still a cute connection.

Early mornings always seemed to be the most undisturbed period of time. Time where those who were awake at night started to fall quiet and sleep. And those who’ve spent the night sleeping were just barely starting to wake up. Even those creatures who didn’t know of the social norms of ‘hours’ knew to remain silent as if aware there needed to be moments of calm before the day officially started. 

Truthfully, this was a time Nocturne felt the most at ease. Not to claim that this was his favorite portion of the day. More of it being a moment where he could just…exist. 

In the past, he would wake to have points of feeling normal. Or, as close as he could. Fantasizing that he was reading for pleasure rather than researching for his new claim. At a far younger age, it was a warm home with both fathers patiently waiting for him to return. For later years it was just the concept of believing he could have some form of stability. Not having the fear of being forgotten hanging over his head. 

It was so strange to think about. As a child, Nocturne had been excited to see what the lands held to offer. Now the idea of simply being home seemed so enticing. To have a solid place to live.

What a concept…

Laying on his back, Nocturne’s eyes stared up at the blank ceiling of the carriage. Thankful that both Sven and Felicks were on morning watch so as to not have to deal with two beings snoring loudly. 

Diana and Phoebe having claimed the two drop down bunks built into the sides of their mobile structure. Sure, they were just flat pieces of wood. But the provided elevation made the rest better somehow. 

Which left Nocturne and Merlow to rest on the floor. Both contorting on the ground as they tried for comfort. 

Nocturne wasn’t brother by this at all. Honestly, Merlow was the only member of this trope the Infernal didn’t mind being so close to. 

Don’t read too far into that, now is not the time.

Pointed ears twitched hearing a whispered ‘discussion’ between Sven and Felicks outside.

Both no doubt debating over what was going to be made for that morning’s meal.

The Infernal shifted to lay on his side facing Merlow.

The half-elf was still fast asleep at this point in the morning. Laying on his side as well and curled up as best he could be in the available space. Cheek squished against one of his hands that was acting as an extension of his pillow. The other hand up and tucked underneath his chin. His hair was somehow still untangled even out of their customary three braids. A few strands occasionally flutter from Merlow’s steady breathing.

Even with vision blurred, Nocturne felt that he knew every line that made up the half-elf’s face. 

Merlow was…an enigma to the Infernal. For all his travels, Nocturne had never met someone so joyfully optimistic who also carried such sorrow with them. For all that life had thrown at Merlow’s feet, the half-elf remained with the idea that there was good in people. Doing his best to spread the joy and care he radiated out to everyone. It was amazing to think anyone could be sour while around the half-elf.

Which is why seeing Merlow so still as is was such an awe. 

Nocturne was used to seeing the other bouncing around, to help or comfort, wanting to play, waving his arms around eagerly while sharing a story. Even with his calmer situations, Merlow could be found fiddling with his hair, or the strap for his bag, or picking at his gloves. He seemed to be constantly moving. 

If left alone from his tormentful past, the only time Merlow seemed to be motionless was when he fell into a deep sleep. 

He looked peaceful.

Calm.

Relaxed.

There was no need to keep his smile on or to comfort. 

Merlow could sleep. 

Nocturne could watch.

And it could just be the two of them for a moment. A comfort in seeing Merlow so relaxed.

Perhaps the quiet was adding a bit of bravery he wouldn’t normally hold. Regardless, Nocturne shifted so he could pull an arm from under his own blanket. Cautiously reaching out until his fingertips just barely brushed against Merlow’s cheek. When the other didn’t stir, he pressed forward. Getting a slight thrill when he could properly cup the half-elf’s face. 

Even with the warning he’d received about the other, Nocturne felt that Merlow had been a wonderful surprise to his life. An unexpected change of course on the Infernal’s path. Being informed that the half-elf was just a person so study, to understand. Only to become so much more as time continued on. A change that Nocturne should have been worried about. He’d lived his life as a forgotten footnote in history for so long that the want of being remembered was a phantom pain. 

Now, it was a bitter candy that he seemed to swallow everyday.

He hadn’t felt this content in so long…

The spell was broken when Merlow let out a low groan. Eyes squeezing tightly as he began to wake. Nocturne was just able to pull his hand away fast enough to hide under his blanket once more. Just as green eyes of Spring opened and landed on the Infernal with muddled and exhausted confusion.

“Mornin’...” Merlow croaked out. Slowly blinking as he fought to stay awake.

“Good morning,” Nocturne whispered back, “did you have a nightmare? You’re up early.”

“Can be sayin’ the same ta ye… But no, slept well… How early is it?”

“We probably have a few hours before the sun begins to rise.”

Merlow let out a small hum. “Ye never answered my question…” 

“I just had a few things on my mind, don’t worry. I’m going to try and get some more sleep.”

There was another hum before Merlow replied with, “‘M cold…”

“Suppose it is a bit nippier than previous mornings.” Nocturne’s quiet laughter turned to a quick choke as Merlow shuffled forward. The half-elf doing his best to tuck as close to the Infernal as possible. 

Nocturne felt himself freeze before allowing his arms to slowly relax. Wrapping them around Merlow, who let out a contented sigh. 

“Comfortable?”

“Very…”

“Good…” Nocturne relaxed further to press his cheek to the top of Merlow’s head. “Good.”

It wasn’t long before Merlow was asleep once more. Nocturne left to the silence as before. Eyes closing, he focused on the comfortable weight now resting in his arms. 

He welcomed the stillness.

Because he could imagine this was his life.

And he loved the thought.

Have some opsie omens fanart I've been working on :)

Oopsie!Omens is a Good Omens AU made by @/asleepyy ! This' just some fanart made by me

I hope to make justice about the gap tooth (see screenshot below), I myself don't think so (I don't usually detail teeth too much in my drawings so I don't think my art style goes right w/ it, but I tried) <)

(also that's me, I'm duck anon [identity reveal](?))

That's why I made two vers, one with my normal style (just inexistent details) and the other trying to show the gap tooth in a (maybe not so) beak shape...

@asleepyy hope u don't mind I kinda made up their outfit colors, just a little. Also,

He is so baby, and so very in love, that's why he tries to protecc Jophiel (I wanna cry they're so cute together n I know they love each other ;;)

(close up of Jophiel cuz he slay w this outfit and I LOVE IT, it's my fav outfit of all time *I LOVE sm the little stars on his trouser's knees*)

On a side note, I personally think that *Azazel would have yellow teeth to be scary, but not to generate fear, to be scary so they would leave him alone (although I think it'll only may work on earth) (he baby, he protecc, he defend, but most importantly he love his angel (Ik that didn't rhyme but ye))

Anyway, is this something? ((*Azazel would have yellow teeth to be scary, (…) so they would leave him alone))

I just think he doesn't want to harm anyone, just got really mistreated by hell bc the fall n all, he just wants to protect what he loves :")

(sorry big rambling post, that's all I swear)

[mikepenos]

ren fair stuff

[deusluxuria]

idk why but i feel like jotaro and abdul are the most immune to the "bystander effect" than other jojo characters. like they see someone doing something unforgivable in public and they're the only ones who are like "hey y'know what??" and cause a scene

Enid: *staring at the floor* "I don't know..."

Yoko: *gets up* "I know what you're gonna do"
