⎯ ☆ my girlfriend

genre: fluff wordcount: 0.9k pairing: percy jackson x fem!reader tags: based on 'my girlfriend' by TV Girl, daughter of hypnos!reader (she/her), use of [reader], from percy's perspective, minor gods have cabins, established relationship, they're like 15 in this, phones/devices don't attract monsters (eg. noise cancelling headphones) summary: sometimes she just struggles to get out of bed. she can’t help it. notes: noticing how both my percy fics have similar titles, anyway happy international sleep day!

↳ return to masterlist

the sun was bathing camp half blood in a golden light as campers began exiting their respective cabins and heading towards the dining pavilion for breakfast. stepping out of his own cabin, percy was immediately engulfed in the wave of campers, but he did his best to push through the current of others toward the cabins of the minor gods. it had become routine for him by this point; wake up, get sorted for the day, go to cabin 15, drag [reader] out of bed, go for breakfast. percy wondered whether clovis would be up yet or not. who knew with hypnos kids. percy knew that if he didn’t go check up on [reader] she’d willingly hibernate like a bear throughout the winter.

percy knocked on the door to cabin 15, his mother had raised him to always be a gentleman. the door was opened slowly, revealing a bleary-eyed clovis who, upon recognising percy, ushered him in so he could close the door once more. percy liked the hypnos cabin. it always smelt warm and the soft violins made everything feel serene. it was an ironic comparison to personalisation of the beds; messy sheets, a collection of cups, plates and cutlery, clothes strewn around, as well as their own belongings from home. almost every bedside cabinet had either a pair of headphones upon it or a pair of ear plugs.

instantly, percy went over to [reader]’s bed. she was still asleep. of course. it seemed incredulous to percy that anyone would be able to sleep through the morning conch, but here was living proof that it were possible. percy gently shook [reader]’s shoulder to try and ease her out of her slumber. she let out some incomprehensible mumble before promptly rolling over and hiding her face in her pillow.

“c’mon,” percy coaxed, “gotta get up and get breakfast”

[reader] spoke into her pillow once more but this time percy could catch bits of what she was saying, “be fine without… don’t wanna get up… didn’t sleep good..”

“you need breakfast.” percy stood his ground, “and the reason you didn’t sleep well is because you never go to sleep at a reasonable time, it’s a wonder the curfew harpies haven’t caught you yet.”

“I’m too smart for them.” [reader] rebutted, finally turning to face percy and squinting her eyes at him.

“yes you are, now up.” percy quickly pulled the duvet away causing [reader] to let out groans and mumbled protestations at his actions. “come on.” percy reiterated, holding out his hands for [reader] to take. she continued to squint her eyes and scowl at him, but took his hands anyway.

“wash up and then we can go to breakfast” percy proffered.

“can’t I just go like this?” [reader] contested, gesturing to her pyjamas of fluffy black pyjama trousers and make-shift pyjama top of a vintage graphic tee.

percy raised an eyebrow, “you know you’ll get into trouble with chiron if you do.”

“when is getting in trouble an issue for you?” [reader] raised an eyebrow.

“please.” percy begged.

“percy, you’re lucky that I even got out of bed, besides it’s not like I really have any activities to do today, so why do I have to get changed?”

percy sighed, trying to reason, “how about you just change into the shirt? at least for breakfast?”

“fine. turn around.” [reader] motioned with her finger.

it was coming close to the end of breakfast when percy and [reader] finally entered the dining pavilion. since it was basically empty, the two sat together at the hypnos table. thankfully there was still some food left, but not as much as percy would’ve liked, especially after sacrificing some to the gods.

“considering you went out of your way to drag me here, are you actually going to eat or not?” [reader] asked as percy seemingly just stared at his food.

“yeah, yeah,” percy shook his head as he broke out of his reverie, “was just thinking.”

“about?” [reader] prodded.

“just… how do you go a day on so little food? if I didn’t wake you up in the mornings you’d sleep straight through breakfast.”

“I nap and I don’t do anything strenuous. I’d rather rot in bed than go on a quest. I don’t need a lot of energy. besides ‘girl dinner’.”

“it’s breakfast.” percy pointed out.

“whatever, not the point.”

percy rolled his eyes at his girlfriend and went back to eating. it wasn’t until the two were finished with their food and basically the only ones left in the pavilion did he ask:

“so, what are you going to do today?”

[reader] shrugged her shoulders, “dunno, might go to the arts and crafts centre. don’t have to do anything strenuous there.”

“want me to join you?” percy asked, gathering their plates to take back to the kitchen.

“you don’t have to, I know it’s not your favourite place, you could go to the sword-fighting arena to practise if you want. I’m probably going to end up falling asleep anyway.”

“cool. I’ll be there to wake you up if chiron or mr d come by.”

a smile spread across [reader]’s face. she gave percy a light smack on the shoulder before looping her arm through his and dragging him off to the arts and crafts centre. she could already feel her eyelids drooping as she walked, anticipating the peace and quiet of the crafts centre that would let her nap until lunch.

How To Select The Right Pyjama For Your Kid?

Every kid deserves a comfortable yet good-looking pair of pyjamas. But in the world of so many incredible pyjama choices, how do you know which ones are right for your kid?

Has this ever happened to you? You head out shopping because you need to purchase some new clothes for your kid, only to come home with a bunch of stuff that just doesn’t work for your little munchkin. 

Maybe a shirt you love, but that does not quite go with anything else your kid owns. Or a cute skirt, but your kid only wears it once because it's pretty uncomfortable.

Assuming you are fortunate, you understand the mistaken choices and can return them. If you’re not so fortunate, you end up with a bunch of stuff in your baby’s closet that they never wear.

We don’t want this to happen with your kid’s pajamas. We want you to find just the right ones for your kid.  

The type that you’re kid wears over and over again and loves. I’m talking about PJs that express who your kid is and make your munchkin feel cozy and happy when you put them on!

The following are some of the significant questions you should ask yourself while purchasing kids' satin pyjamas. 

What are your kid's favorite     things?

Kids' pyjamas come in so many fun patterns and styles! So what’s your kid thing? Is your kid a beach bunny who loves all things ocean and marine? Is your kid a big-time dog lover? 

Make sure you know your kid's choices and consider purchasing pyjamas in patterns and styles that they would appreciate. 

What’s your kid’s idea of comfort?

You can go for footie pyjamas for your kid as they are super cozy and cover your munchkin from head to toe.  It resembles being enveloped in a blanket.

Make sure you invest in the best pyjama for your little kid so that they feel 100% comfortable and wear their pyjamas with utmost ease.

What kind of fabric you kid like?

Cotton is amazing, breathable, and easy so you can consider purchasing cotton pyjamas for your little one. If you wish to purchase personalised cotton dressing gown, make sure you research thoroughly and purchase from a reliable business.

In conclusion, these above-stated are some of the significant questions you should ask yourself while purchasing kids' satin pyjamas.

Battison reaction to Nightwing... especial suit.

(credits to their respective author)

I recently saw this post on Pinterest, of one of Dick's old Nightwing costumes… and I got to thinking, how would Battison have reacted to it? I mean, Battison is our emo old money mew mew mew and he's got a comically different style of dress.

*******************************************

Then… We can all agree that Bruce Wayne is our favourite emo mew mew old money in ALL of Gotham, right?

We're talking about Bruce Wayne!!!, he listens to Metallica, My Chemical Romance, probably the odd Green Day album, definitely Nirvana among other local bands in his city. But he is also a HUGE fan of classical opera and orchestral music; he sponsors many performances, actually.

No one can deny that black is HIS colour. It suits him, it suits him beautifully and he KNOWS how to wear a high cardigan with leather boots, comfortable dark office trousers and a Victorian style shirt, with a pair of sunglasses, without any effort.

(At least not on his part, Alfred surely forced him to wear them for that charity gala, threatening to burn his favourite MCR sweater if he didn't wear the right clothes for the event).

Add to that the fact that Bruce, despite being an emo mew mew old money that we all love, prefers to wear sportswear and worn-out pyjamas... well, he is rich as hell.

BUT also, he has extremely fine tastes: his leaky, worn-out Nirvana, MCR and other bands? those t-shirts and sweaters were actually designed exclusively for him; by some fashion designer colleague or friend who has 3 or 4 galleries and shops in Paris. The white socks that Alfred keeps having to wash even though a cheese have less holes on it? Gucci. His wallet that is so worn out that you can drop a coin or a platinum card? Versache.

All those personalised, in short, for his pleasure. He is to only user of the planet that had a Versache wallet personalised with the Nirvana logo.

And I refuse to believe that Dick didn't grow up with all that kind of material girl life style. Dick is the only child to have his own LV school bag with a redesign of each of his favourite Pokemon. And use and adorable Gucci oxfords that Bruce ask, exclusively, for him. So THEY can match during important events.

But hey, the kid grown up and flew far of the nest… AND He came out in one of his suits (the one in the photo) during his first patrol as Nightwing. I can see, I FEEL, that Bruce almost had a cardiac arrest when he first saw his son in THAT.

His baby was dressed like a failed attempt at a!!! ... God, even he didn't know what kind of madness Dick was using. He knows that he raised him with an outrageous lifestyle and not always the big fashion statement. If it weren't for the galas and social events Alfred forced him to attend, Bruce would surely be living in his pyjamas and sportswear.. But what was that?

He feels that even to say he looks like a drag queen and a stripper would be an insult to the profession and all the art that goes with it.

Or Worst of all the last NOnos of his list:

The costume is not bulletproof yet?? Is from a cheap not durable material??? Now he's going to have cardiac failure.

What happened to all the allowance and the special and exclusive edition Nike sports tights that you sent him a few days ago?

And he, Brucie emo old money mew mew, can hear what he once said to Alfred when he started dressing Emo.

"It's not a phase Al, it's a lifestyle."

And well… his was a lifestyle. But he prayed to God and all the deities in the universe that Dick and his suit were JUST a phase.

Or at least his suit if it was bulletproof. At least that would give him less pain in his material heart.

stag pyjamas, stag-do vibes - twelve days of rowaelin.

the living room, midday.

Aelin and Rowan both severely lacked in childhood Christmas memories, both of their parents had died too soon for any Christmas traditions to stick beyond what foster families and group homes had done for them.

Neither of them had had a Christmas in the same house two years in a row since they were younger than five until they had moved in together.

There had been something about slowly building a collection of Christmas tree decorations, about seeing the old, sparse tinsel on your tree and knowing it was on your tree the first Christmas you had with someone. Something beautifully fulfilling about being able to climb up into the loft and pull down boxes and boxes and know the contents of each one, and know that they’ll go back into the loft in the new year, heavier and heavier each time Christmas passes through their household.

Seeing their star on the top of the tree and remembering that they had bought it from the supermarket and added glitter and gold paint and a set of small, battery-operated fairy lights to it the first Christmas they had ever had together.

About their children’s faces as they stand in the middle of a shop and pick out their decorations that they get to add to their collection that year. Seeing their faces light up as they find the perfect one. Seeing their little eyes sparkle marvellously as they place it on the tree and get a little sad and downturned when they pull it off the branch and place it in the box. And then light up once more when they realise, they get to put it on the branch again next Christmas.

And it fills both Aelin’s and Rowan’s hearts to know that even though they have no family traditions from their parents and their own childhoods, their children will always have the traditions that their family have introduced.

Fills their hearts to know that their children have good memories of Christmas, and will have a safe home, and a good life.

Like they never did.

So they introduced a new thing each year. Or they tried to.

This year they are doing so, they are adding a new tradition for their little family to take part in.

Matching, family Christmas pyjamas.

They had seemed like a good idea, sat in front of her laptop at ten at night. They had been cute and idealistic on the picture-perfect (and ultimately fake) family in the product photos. They had seemed to be an absolute steal, a bargain if Aelin had ever seen one: cheap as paper and most definitely not paper.

One hundred per cent cotton and made in Terrasen. That meant no slavery involved, and it also meant that all the people involved in the process of getting them to her family would be paid appropriately.

Cute. They had been so, so cute on her illuminated laptop screen. The trousers are covered in a pattern of stag heads, decorated with baubles, tinsel, and fairy lights. All on a green background. What more could a Terrasen citizen want from a set of Christmas pyjamas. The top was an enlarged set of antlers, decorated in much of the same fashion. Except you could personalise a few of the baubles. Change the colour, add names, maybe a birthstone here, an important date there.

It was fucking ideal.

The answer to all Her questions.

What present she could give the kids on Christmas Eve?

What could the family wear for their Christmas card photo?

What could cheer her up on this cold and empty night while her husband worked long, long shifts?

So in her tired, slightly drunk state she had ordered the pyjamas, personalised them, checked all the family’s sizes, and had watched as the money flew from her bank account and into the shop’s bank account.

The thing to remember, is that she was tired, and alone, and a little bit drunk, and missing her husband, and sick of being called ‘mummy’.

She wasn’t fully in control of all her faculties, had no clue what she was doing.

And it has never been so apparent as it is right now.

Sat around their Christmas tree, watching with wide (horrified) eyes as her children open their Christmas Eve present at the same time, showing her error over and over and over to her poor, poor husband and her idiot, idiot self.

Her eldest, Ariden, is the first to open the perfectly packaged present. Ripping through the tape and the paper and the ribbon, ignoring the gift tag altogether. Shredding the plastic wrapping and pulling the pyjamas from it. Holding them up in the air.

Next comes her youngest, Oren, his pudgy little toddler fingers ripping the paper with surprising dexterity. He grabs his set with eager hands and a happy, toothless grin. His eyes sparkling and his toes twitching in little toddler delight. It was enough to make Aelin want to turn to her husband and ask for another.

Then is the beloved middle child, Felon. His careful treatment of the wrapping paper, tape, ribbon and gift tag leave him scrambling for the Christmas pyjamas his siblings are already holding. His scarily strong nails had torn through the paper like they were claws and he was a domesticated lion. Unnerving, to say the least.

Their faces are blissfully happy, smiling mouths, giggling eyes, flushed cheeks, raised eyebrows. Everything a mother needs to see to know her children are happy with whatever is in their grasp or in their sight.

She is laughing and giggling along with them, opening her present with the same reckless abandon as her eldest and youngest children. All while her husband sits behind her, opening his own present above her head like the fucking giant he is. Aelin wants to lean her head back, so her lips can kiss his, but stops herself from doing so. Preventing their ears from being assaulted with the angry, disgusted, and horrified noises their brattish children like to make when Rowan and Aelin show any sort of love or affection for one another.

It's only when she opens her own present and takes her pyjamas out that she realises what mistake she had made.

She had ordered different pyjamas.

These ones aren’t covered in stags and baubles and multi-coloured lights and silver tinsel.

These ones are, yes, covered in stags, and yes, baubles, and yes, multi-coloured lights, and yes, silver tinsel.

That isn’t the issue.

Not even close.

The baubles are odd little things, shaped a little funny, odd colours and patterns. Until you look a little closer, take it all in. Then, then you realise that the funny shapes are penises and vaginas and tits and arseholes. And the odd colours are just for kicks, to make the most certainly adult recipient laugh a little harder when they do look that little bit closer and do realise.

And it isn’t as though the penises and vaginas and tits and arseholes are all the same. No, of course not. Because that would be too unfunny, and too silly.

You’ve got thin penises, thick penises, long penises, short penises, big balls, small balls, low hanging balls, high hanging balls, fat cockheads, skinny cockheads, cleanshaven pubes, short pubes, long pubes, blond pubes, brown pubes, black pubes. You’ve got all manner of combinations.

You’ve got pale-skinned vaginas, dark-skinned vaginas, wide vaginas, narrow vaginas, skinny vaginas, fat vaginas, pale pink vaginas, dark pink vaginas, pierced vaginas, unpierced vaginas, spread open vaginas, unspread vaginas, waxed vaginas, hairy vaginas. So many fucking vaginas, so many colours.

Aelin doesn’t want to start on the tits and arseholes, it’s simply horrifying. If it weren’t in front of her children, and she weren’t over thirty years old, and she were still in college, it would be fucking hilarious, she would be rolling on the floor laughing and then running to put them on in the bathroom.

But she does have children, and she is over thirty years old, and she isn’t still in college, so it isn’t hilarious. It’s rather fucking humiliating, horrifying, it also feels a bit like a parenting failure. The kind of ones you’ll laugh about with your kids in a few years, but a failure, nonetheless.

She isn’t too horrified, certain she can take the pyjamas from her children’s hands before they register the images printed in the cotton.

Not until her itty-bitty, teeny-tiny, toddler giggles in that wildly cute way toddlers do, before shrieking out, “Looks like daddy’s dangly bits!” Then, the whole world turns to shit. Spectacularly.

And it’s safe to say that Christmas pyjamas don’t become a tradition.

But telling the story of the pyjamas Aelin bought with penises and vaginas and tits and arseholes on them most definitely does become a tradition.

CHRISTMAS A⇴Z HEADCANON ⇴ Song Minho

A ⇴ ACTIVITIES

Minho loved to take photographs during the holidays whenever the two of you went out anywhere so that he could remember the adventures that the two of you went on, scrapbooking many of the photos in his albums to keep.

B ⇴ BAKING

Watching you bake often fascinated Minho, although he was far from a baker himself. Just as he loved his arts, you loved baking over Christmas, and so usually whilst you’d be busy making gingerbread in your kitchen, Minho would join you with his drawing pad and pens so that the two of you could still spend time together and listen to some Christmas songs whilst also each doing the things that you loved too.

C ⇴ CHRISTMAS EVE

You loved trying to get Minho in the festive mood on Christmas Eve, leaving him with little choice but to get involved. You’d get him matching pyjamas with you, give him plenty of hot chocolate and mulled wine too, and of course, you would mess with him and make sure that he followed the traditions for Santa to visit too.

D ⇴ DECORATING

The decorating of your home was where Minho truly came into his own at Christmas. Each year he would come up with a different them for your home, making sure that each room was filled with decorations. As much as he loved going out and buying decorations for your home, Minho also loved creating some decorations himself too that the two of you could keep hold of and bring out year after year to celebrate with.

E ⇴ EVENTS

Getting Minho to a Christmas event would sometimes be a challenge for you as he loved being at home, and so to get him feeling festive and comfortable you would organise several little events at home so that you both got what you wanted. On the way home from work you’d make sure that you bought everything that you needed to setup the perfect Christmas for you both without the hassle of being around others.

F ⇴ FOOD

One of his favourite things about Christmas was the food, although Minho didn’t tend to eat too much throughout the rest of the year, he would never hold himself back over the holidays. As soon as he heard you arriving home with a bag of food in your hands, he would start rummaging through it straight away to see if you had bought any Christmas specific foods home and sneak them into his studio when you weren’t paying attention.

G ⇴ GIFT GIVING

Minho preferred to give presents at Christmas, as he often added his own personalised touch to many of them, there was something even more sentimental for him about giving presents to all of his loved ones.

H ⇴ HOLIDAY HOME

He loved being with you at Christmas, wherever that was, either with his family or with yours. Minho wasn’t massive on going too far away from home at Christmas, all he wanted was to be nice and comfortable in a place that he was familiar with, surrounded by you and all of the people that meant the most to you too.

I ⇴ ICE

Minho would protest throughout most of the winter that he didn’t want to go ice skating with you, but usually as Christmas came around you would manage to convince him. Each year he would hover around the barrier, never truly trusting himself to let go as he was slightly fearful of falling over and injuring himself.

J ⇴ JOY

Although he was never massive on Christmas himself, Minho loved seeing the enthusiasm that you put into Christmas each year, not just for your own sake but for your family’s too, helping out wherever you were needed and making sure that they all received presents that they would fall in love with too.

K ⇴ KIDS

In the back of his mind, Minho would certainly begin to think about the future with you at Christmas, in awe of how joyous you were during the holidays and how that happiness would create the perfect Christmas for your children in the future whenever the two of you decided to settle down and start your family.

L ⇴ LOVE

Minho loved how you always tried your hardest to make him enjoy Christmas, it would always take a bit of hard work to get him motivated for Christmas, but usually in the final few days before Christmas Day came around, he would find himself undeniably feeling festive thanks to the efforts that you went to.

M ⇴ MOVIES

He loved watching Christmas films with you, often putting one on in the background whilst the two of you busied yourselves. When the two of you were wrapping your presents was when Minho would usually love to watch Christmas movies the most, glancing up and watching a couple of scenes in between each wrapped gift.

N ⇴ NAUGHTY OR NICE

Throughout most of the year Minho would be on your nice list, the only time he only found himself on the naughty list was when he became a bit of a Scrooge, refusing to get excited for Christmas no matter how hard you tried to get him to.

O ⇴ OBSESSION

Minho was obsessed with getting creative at Christmas, although it wasn’t his favourite time of year, he loved putting a lot of effort into various different things because of how much you loved Christmas and his artwork too.

P ⇴ PRESENTS

Quite often Minho would surprise you with the gifts that he bought you, always managing to find the perfect thing. You never really thought that he was paying too much attention to what you were saying, however he would prove you wrong every Christmas morning by buying you exactly what it was that you wanted.

Q ⇴ QUESTIONS

If the two of you were in a room together, you would usually ask Minho if he minded if you put your Christmas playlist on, you never wanted to overwhelm him with too much festiveness, but he could never say no to you anyway.

R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS

The main reason that Minho always agreed to let you play your music was because most years he came up with the playlist himself. He was very particular about what Christmas songs he would listen to, and so after adding all of your favourites, he would browse through and pick out the songs that he loved too.

S ⇴ SNOW

You would often have to drag Minho out when it snowed, not wanting him to miss out by staying indoors. For a while, he would be a little moody that you had made him go out in the cold, but after watching you run around with an excitable smile on your face, he would usually end up thankful that you had encouraged him to head out.

T ⇴ TRADITION

Although the two of you always bought for everyone, each year Minho would throw in an extra present for everyone, making it a tradition of his to make everyone a handmade present each year as well.

U ⇴ UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE

You loved to get Minho underneath the mistletoe as he couldn’t run away. Whenever he found that you had got him under the mistletoe, a laugh would come from him before succumbing and letting you give him a kiss.

V ⇴ VACATION

He hated going away at Christmas, in his opinion, Christmas was a time to be at home and with family, and so after you had suggested once about going on holiday at Christmas, you learnt not to do it again.

W ⇴ WRAPPING

Minho loved being very detailed when wrapping presents, adding a sentimental touch to each one so everyone knew it was from the two of you.

X ⇴ XXXX

Whenever you got excited around him, Minho would find himself pressing a kiss against your cheek to try and calm you down as you struggled to keep yourself composed in amongst all of the festivities around you.

Y ⇴ YOU

You were the present he was always most thankful for, nothing else ever compared.

Z ⇴ ZZZ

Although he could be considered a bit of a Scrooge, every Christmas Minho would always remind himself how lucky he was to have you still, falling asleep and promising to make the most of the holidays with you.

Hello, I am a little rat entity and I would like to be provided with Teddy crumbs if possible. Thank you and have a good day.

a collection of teddy facts:

(cw: child abuse, food mentions)

- collects stuffed animals and makes extremely good use of his staff discount. his bed is absolutely heaving with them. sometimes has to clear them all off when he's bringing someone home and actually feels a little bad about it. sleeps with a very battered old bear that his oldest sister gave him for his sixth birthday. he also buys them clothes, again, using his staff discount. he does have one of the wardrobes. he just thinks it's really cute you can get them like, crutches and pyjamas and glasses, okay! gifts from him are often bears personalised to what he thinks your tastes are.

- the stick and poke tattoo on his butt was done by an ex-boyfriend. he likes the idea of more tattoos, but because he intends to be/already is an "Actor" he knows he should try and avoid getting too many of them or there'll be too much trouble gone to in order to cover them up onscreen/onstage!

- can play piano a little bit. he took lessons at university to help him with his singing. he's not exactly good at it, but he can read music and tell when he's hitting the wrong notes!

- has never correctly built a piece of ikea furniture. much of his own furniture is held together with duct tape, stickers, and teddy's hopes and dreams. has broken his bedframe during Activities and laughed it off. he finds instructions very difficult to read and follow, and he gets distracted easily!

- dogs LOVE him. they can probably sense in him a kindred spirit. he doesn't even have to smile at them or see them, a dog sees him and it's tugging at it's lead in the hope it's human will allow teddy to pet it. he hopes that one day this skill will attract him a large werewolf significant other.

- ESFP (the entertainer). leo. left-handed.

- he's always hungry. he didn't get enough food growing up and before blooming in puberty he was actually kind of scrawny. he got invited over to people's houses as a kid a lot both because he had a lot of friends from just having that kind of personality, but because other parents tended to worry about him! apparently not enough to report the times he'd occasionally appear with bruises or black eyes, but enough to spoil him with food. his favourite food is pizza, but he also loves ice cream, milkshakes and chocolate (though he tries to have them in moderation. it doesn't always work!).

- three older sisters, one younger sister, one youngest brother. he only talks to his oldest sister. he got a lot of blame growing up for being the badly behaved one – partly because his siblings knew he would take the punishment for them (because he hates seeing other people in pain).

[meet-me-in-the-pouringrain]

Good evening I’m currently crying about the Cullen Family dynamic I have concocted in my head.

- Carlisle and Jasper sitting down together to better educate their old asses on the social conducts / normalities today.

- Esme and Rosalie taking nature walks together and just talking. Mother - Daughter day. Sometimes, if she wants, Alice joins them.

- Emmett fully starting all out battles be it Nerf, snowball or water balloons early in the morning and all of them throw caution to the wind and join in. It usually ends in couple v couple with Edward off to the side in a huff until Bella joins and fuckin obliterates every single one of them.

- Jasper, Emmett and Edward (when he’s not being so annoying) embrace their brotherly relationship. They wrestle, argue, throw things and fight but it’s usually all in good fun. Until Eddie gets pissy then it’s real.

- Carlisle bonds with the kids when they are turned and makes it a point to do it as often as he can after. With Bella, he sits and discusses Literature for hours, with Alice they discuss her visions and he helps her delve into her past, Emmett (don’t tell Esme) he helps him Scheme, Jasper ^^^^, Edward they barely talk now that Bella is in the picture but when they do they could be up there for hours talking about whatever. He tried with Rosalie but she scares him.

- Esme makes it a point to spend time with the kids too. She and Emmett discuss their farm lives and debate over easier methods, Alice tries to style her differently every summer, Bella and her cook, Jasper usually prattles on for hours about horses and whatnot and Esme smiles patiently unwilling to tell him her farm was a vegetable one and not animal. Sometimes he just wants to be near her because she had the Best Vibes , Rose and her bond over their trauma at first but it slowly morphs into idle chatter about nothing. Edward, in my head, clings onto Esme more than anyone thinks because she reminds him of Elizabeth and usually is just around her while Esme is busting herself with design or painting.

- They honour Esme’s Jewish heritage along with Carlisle’s Anglican beliefs every December and have a mix of the two holidays. Rosalie, Bella and Alice spends hours every November making a menorah for Esme from scratch whereas Emmett, Jasper and Edward tackle the Christmas decorations. Emmett is on light duty. Alice spends hundreds of dollars buying matching clothes and pyjamas for all the Cullens.

- Esme and Bella spends hours in the kitchen whipping up Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner for the pack. Esme also makes various meals for Bella to take to Charlie while they still lived in forks.

- Whenever Carlisle decides to scold one of the children for one stupid stunt or other someone is guaranteed to bite back “Forgive me Father, for I have sinned”

- Emmett calls Esme “Momma” and Carlisle “Pops”. He’s the only one who refers to them that way. But Renesmee called them Nana and Poppy.

- She has nicknames for everyone. Rose is Rosey, Jasper is Jassy, Alice is Alley Cat (Alice thought of it herself and was so proud she tried to get every one to use it. Nobody does) Emmett is Emmy. Bella is simply Mom and Edward is Dad.

- Edward is fucking nice to Rosalie in my head and they have a tradition every December to personalise baubles for the other. 2008 had Rosalie make “Listen to Rosalie next time” whereas Edward made one that stated “you were right”

- Fun Fact! Vampires can smoke weed and drink alcohol in my head. Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper definitely were/ probably still are smokers. Alice claims it helps her ignore visions when she doesn't feel up to it, Jasper says it helps ignore the emotions emitted by everyone. As soon as he heard that, Edward jumped on the bandwagon and immediately regretted it.

- They can also drink. One bottle of alchohol and they’re all bladdered. The venom sobers them up quickly but hell if Emmett doesn’t make it hard.

- Jasper and Emmett started a weed farm and did in fact start dealing at their school. Once Esme caught wind, however, all hell broke loose because. "You're hundreds of years old Jasper, you should know better!" "What about Emmett" "HE'S EMMETT"

- The Cullens are forced once a month by Esme to have a game night. Not monopoly though, she's still mad over the fact they had to move from Boston because Rose threw Jasper out of the window.

- Alice in retaliation makes them all have a movie night once a month. Once they had a vampire marathon. They put on Dracula, Interview with a vampire, Hotel Transylvania for Nessie and finally They binged Buffy the Vampire slayer. After the first five episodes, Carlisle almost spontaneously combusts and Edward convinces himself that somehow Angel was modelled after him. Bella threw the TV out of the window.

- Renesmee once suggested a huge game of hide n seek. Her and Jacob (who did NOT FUXKING IMPRINT THANK YOU) were the seekers. She found Carlisle and Esme after a few minutes, her parents after 10, Rosalie an hour later, Alice they didn’t find for a week, Jasper was about two weeks and they still hadn’t found Emmett after a month. He convinced Seth to go with him so Alice couldn’t cheat and they each phone at least once a day. He just giggles and hangs up.

- Rose eventually snaps and she and Leah (look I feel she’d get along best with Rose idk why) head out to find him. She comes back a day later with a sheepish and petulant Emmett behind her.

- Edward has written piano pieces for every woman in the coven. Esme actually has about 20 because Edward’s indecisive ass couldn’t sit still when it was the three of them but she’s memorised them all and hums a tune or two when she’s painting. Rose has 5 because he found his music calmed her in the early days, Alice has two and Bella + Nessie have just the one. Edward cries daily about it.

- Emmett was the one who instigated Mothers/Fathers day. He asked Rose and EmoFuck one day what they did for them and Edward had a panic attack while Rose zoomed out the house to go get Esme a bunch of flowers. They celebrated it ever since.

- Bella + Alice + Emmett blasting “Am I a Man or am I a Muppet” on repeat both out loud and in their heads just to fuck with Edward.

- When hunting, Esme has a tendency to climb a tree and just sit and wait for her husband to walk past. As soon as he’s in her eyesight she ‘falls’ onto him/next to him. She fake breaks her leg and he reverts into Doctor Cullen. The coven in absolutely mortified by this and the two love it. They embrace their embarrassing parents act willingly.

- The Cullens have a naughty corner. The two most frequent users are the Choas triplets; Alice, Emmett and Bella. Carlisle has been put in the corner multiple by Esme for his own stunts- such as turning Rosalie for Edward- and once Esme was put in the corner by Carlisle. They won’t disclose what she did but the next time they were all together in town, a group of Drag Queens came up to Esme and asked where she got her body glitter from.

- The Cullens learning from their past mistakes with the Werewolves and being godsends to the communities they live in. Esme baking and cooking food and donating the lot of it, Rosalie helping out at preschools and kindergartens and being called “Miss Rosie” by half the kids, Bella tutoring students in English, Alice donating clothes to women’s shelters, Edward giving music lessons, Carlisle donating money to those in need. Emmett being that guy who protects all the women from creeps, Jasper helping the quiet kids out with confidence boosts, Renesmee just being an all round kind person and the one who can make friends anywhere.

- When they leave Forks for the last Time, Carlisle donates a huge check to the Tribe with a letter giving gratitude and apologising for everything. Billy cried and Sue had to take the cheque and spread it amongst the tribe.

- Jacob continued phasing for the next 20 years, he regularly takes trips to wherever the Cullens are living to visit Bella and Ness. Whenever it happens, Alice buys him a whole suitcase full of shorts and jeans, Esme bounces of the walls in excitement, Emmett loses his shit and Bella is insufferable but they don’t seen Rosalie or Edward of a day for however long he stays. He eventually stops phasing when Billy passes.

Blended Family

Word Count: 3,187  Demetri x OC - Part Six Warnings: Fluff

December came round quickly and Sophie got excited as she loved Christmas and was looking forward to her first Christmas with Demetri and their children.  “Do you celebrate Christmas Dem?” Sophie asked “Yes, we celebrate Christmas but probably not in the way that you do” He replied “What do you mean?” “We do Secret Santa every year, it was introduced by one of the secretaries a few decades back” He replied “What about a tree?” “Heidi puts one up in the family room every year. We put the gifts under the tree. How do you celebrate Christmas?” “We put up a tree every year and decorate it and place the wrapped gifts beneath it. We also put up decorations to make our homes look festive” She replied and he smiled at her “I was hoping we could celebrate Christmas this year as it’s our first one together as well as Nico and Ellie’s first Christmas.” “That sounds like a plan cara mia. How can I help?” He asked as he stepped closer, wrapping his arms around her “We need to decide whether to get a real or fake tree and choose a colour scheme for our decorations. Then there’s the shopping of Christmas gifts for the children” She answered looking up at him “What about gifts for each other?” He asked before leaning down and pressing his lips to hers “I’d like to buy you some gifts too” He kissed her again “Ok, but we have to set a limit on the money we spend on each other and the children” She replied before pulling him down for another kiss “I’m making no promises mi amore” He replied smiling and she shook her head smiling.

Following a discussion where they weighed the pros and cons of a real tree vs a fake tree, they decided to buy a fake tree. Demetri bought a large fake tree for his Sophie’s room along with blue and silver decorations to match the colour scheme Sophie suggested. Sophie also hung a wreath on their door, decorated to match their tree colours. Demetri bought a smaller tree for the children’s room after Nico said he liked looking at the lights on the tree of an evening, that tree also followed Sophie’s colour scheme at Nico’s polite request.

Sophie and Nico went shopping for gifts for Demetri and Ellie, leaving Ellie with Sulpicia and Anthenodora as Demetri was on guard duty with Felix and the twins. During their shopping trip they purchased stockings to hang on the fireplace along with some personalised tree decorations; Nico’s chosen decoration was two snow people, as he called them. One wore a blue scarf and hat and the other wore a pink scarf and hat. Nico and Ellie’s name were written above the snow people’s hats. Sophie also bought two baubles and had them personalised too: one saying ‘Nico’s 1st Christmas’ and the other ‘Ellie’s 1st Christmas’. “Nico you can’t tell daddy or Ellie what gifts we have bought them ok?” Sophie asked Nico softly “I promise mummy, it’ll be our secret” He replied smiling “Good boy.” They made their way to a coffee shop for a short break; They had a hot chocolate and a gingerbread man each “I like the gingerbread man mummy, thank you” “You’re welcome sweetie and I’m glad you like them.”

Demetri returned from a shopping trip a few days later with a personalised decoration for him and Sophie; his one was a couple in winter clothes with their names written above their hats. He also bought his Secret Santa gift for Jane; a MAC make-up set along with a few gifts for Sophie and Nico.

Sophie had explained to Nico who Father Christmas was and what happens on Christmas Eve and Nico seemed really excited so Demetri decided to take Sophie and the children to Volterra’s Christmas market one Saturday afternoon, knowing that Santa and his reindeer were there. “Look daddy it’s Santa” Nico said excitedly “So it is” Demetri replied smiling “Now I know why you wanted to come to the market today” Sophie said low to Demetri “He seemed interested in Santa after your talk and I thought he might like to visit Santa’s Grotto. I know it’s a human thing as it happens here every year and I plan on bringing Ellie when she’s old enough to understand about Santa” He replied as they joined the queue. Nico sat on Santa’s lap “Hello, I’m Santa. What’s your name and what would you like for Christmas this year?” “Hello, I’m Nico and I’d like a train set please, like the one in my story book” Nico replied with a smile “I think I can do that. Is that all you want for Christmas?” Santa replied “I’d like to ask for something for my sister Ellie too, if that’s ok?” Nico asked politely and Santa nodded “Of course, what would she like?” “A new teddy bear please as she really likes them” Nico replied pointing over at Ellie “Of course I can do that. You are a very good big brother” Santa told him “Thank you and Merry Christmas Santa” Nico said as one of the Elves stepped forward and handed Nico two gifts “One for you and your sister” “Thank you Mr Elf.” Demetri and Sophie couldn’t help smiling at their son “He’s so thoughtful and polite. I love him so much Dem” “I know, me too.”

Sophie and Nico bake Christmas cookies and cupcakes in the week leading up to Christmas, Gianna liked eating the treats as the only other human in the castle. Demetri tried a cupcake and a cookie too “Daddy, look at what mummy and I made” Nico said looking at Demetri, showing him the festive treats. “Why are you eating those D?” Felix asked looking confused as he entered the kitchen “It’s Christmas Felix and Sophie and Nico spent a lot of time making and decorating them so I thought I’d try one of each” He replied looking at his mate and son, whilst Ellie sat on his lap putting her fingers in the frosting and licking them “I think the little one approves” Felix says nodding at Ellie.

Demetri sat watching his mate and son start to build a gingerbread house and began to get lost in his thoughts; thinking about how much he loves Sophie and is happy she’s human and that she nurtures Nico’s human side. He hopes she continues to do so after her change and when even Nico’s grown up, as there is plenty of time to nurture his vampire side in the future. He also felt grateful to have a daughter too, one that he can give immortally to when she’s old enough. “Penny for them Demi” Sophie said smiling, pulling him from his thoughts “Hmm, oh yeah…I was just thinking how lucky I am to have Nico and to have met you and Ellie and I am looking forward to spending forever with my family” He replied smiling “Aww Dem” She replied, her eyes getting a little teary “I’m lucky that Ellie and I got to met you and Nico too and I’m also looking forward to spending forever together as a family” She stepped beside him and leant down to kiss him, Nico giggled at the sight as Demetri wrapped his arm around her waist. “I love you Dem” “I love you too.”

They woke up the day before Christmas Eve to see that it had snowed overnight and Sophie decided to wrap herself and the kids up and go play in the snow in the garden below their room “I need to wrap up you warm sweetie, so we can play in the snow and build snowmen” Sophie said to Nico as she wrapped a scarf around him and helped him put on gloves. Ellie was all wrapped too, even though she couldn’t play in the snow. They had been outside for about half an hour when Demetri joined them “So what are my three favourite people up to?” He asked “Mummy and I are building a snowman” Nico answered before looking over at Ellie “And Ellie is eating the snow” He added chuckling “Oh hunny, don’t do that” Sophie says softly but Ellie ignores her. Demetri sits beside Ellie on the blankets and lifts her onto his lap in an attempt to stop her eating the snow “I have an idea princess” He says low and scoops up some snow and shapes it into a ball before throwing it gently at Nico’s back “Oi” Nico says as he turns around to look at his dad and sister “It was Ellie” Demetri replies pointing to her and Ellie just smiles and starts babbling “Of course it was daddy” Nico replies. Demetri throws one at Sophie next “I suppose Ellie threw that one too?” She asked “Nope that one was me” He smiled at her before looking down at Ellie and talking to her. Sophie and Nico threw snowballs at Demetri and as they made contact some of the snow fell onto Ellie who just laughed and tried to eat it. Sophie showed Demetri and Nico how to make snow angels and Demetri laid Ellie down in the snow and made one for her too.

After a few hours of being outside they went back to their shared room and Demetri bathed the children whilst Sophie made herself and Nico a hot chocolate, warmed a bottle of milk for Ellie and grabbed a blood bag for Demetri “So you don’t feel left out” She says to Demetri as the four of them get comfortable on the sofa to watch Christmas movies. “Thank you letting me play in the snow mummy, I had fun” “I’m glad sweetie, I had fun too” Sophie replied as she pulled Nico into her so they were cuddled up “We had fun too, didn’t we princess?” Demetri said and Ellie babbled a reply before yawning and snuggling into her dad for a nap.

Sophie prepared a Christmas Eve box for Nico and Ellie consisting of a new pair of pyjamas each with fluffy socks. She also bought personalised Christmas story books; one for Nico and Ellie as it’s their first Christmas. Both stories feature Demetri, Sophie, Nico and Ellie, the only difference being the story itself.

Sophie gets Nico to leave out a glass of milk and some cookies for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph. “You know you’re eating this stuff, right?” Demetri whispered low to Sophie so Nico couldn’t hear him “You’re helping too Dem” She replied. “Can we do this every year whilst Ellie grows up too?” “Of course, we can buddy” Demetri replies smiling before putting Nico in bed and reading him a story.

The following morning they wake up to see more snow has fallen overnight “I love a white Christmas Dem” “Me too, especially as I have a family to celebrate it with now” He kissed her “Merry Christmas Sophie” “Merry Christmas Dem” She replied kissing him back.

Once the children were awake and had breakfast they sat around the tree in Demetri and Sophie’s room and began opening their gifts “I think someone went overboard” Sophie says looking her mate “It’s their first Christmas ever, our first Christmas together and as a family. I wanted to spoil you all, so I did” He replied smiling “Thank you, it’s much appreciated” She replied and Nico nodded. Nico received a trainset, building blocks, colouring books with crayons and pencils and some new clothes. Ellie received some books that were specifically for children of her age, some clothes, and a brown coloured Build-a Bear dressed as a princess, Ellie squeezed the teddy to her front and upon doing so it spoke “I love you always” She looked confused her as she heard her daddy’s voice but his lips didn’t move; Sophie and Nico smiled knowingly as Ellie squeezed her teddy again and it repeated “I love you always” in Demetri’s voice. She looked between her teddy and Demetri before being scooped up into his arms “Yes, that’s my voice in your new teddy. That way I can tell you I love you even when I am away for work” He told her softly, kissing her head “That’s really sweet Dem” Sophie told him “I can call you and speak to you and Nico, I can’t do that with her yet” He replied “Aww, Daddy’s gone soft” Nico said teasingly, causing Sophie to laugh, Demetri growled low playfully, Ellie turned to look at him confused “Yes Ellie, daddy can growl, but never at you” He told her “Daddy hasn’t gone soft buddy, trust me. It’s just you three mean everything to me and I want you all to know that” He said looking between Sophie and his children. “Here buddy, this is for you too” Demetri says handing Nico a large gift, inside was a brown coloured Build-a-Bear dressed as a vampire “Give its paw a squeeze” Nico did as his dad told him and he heard Demetri’s voice “I love you buddy” “Thanks daddy” Nico said giving him a big hug “You’re welcome” He kissed his son’s head.

Demetri opened his gifts, receiving clothes, hair products, bath bombs, a ‘World’s best daddy’ mug from Nico and Ellie and some new crime and thriller books. Sophie opened her gifts, receiving clothes, a leather jacket, bath bombs, a ‘World’s best mummy’ mug from Nico and Ellie as well as jewellery. Demetri handed Ellie to Nico before moving closer to Sophie “Here, you missed one” He passed her a gift bag and when she opened the little black box inside she saw a white gold diamond ring, Demetri took her hand in his “Sophie, I can’t give you a big white wedding as I’m not human but I want to exchange rings with you whilst we make a promise to always love and care for one another…I’m asking if you will spend forever with me by my side as my best friend, my soulmate…as my wife?” He placed the engagement ring on her finger “Yes” She replied low, tears falling “You made mummy cry” Nico says as he slaps Demetri’s leg “These are happy tears sweetie” Sophie assured Nico “Sorry daddy” “Don’t worry buddy, I was worried there myself, I didn’t expect mummy to cry either” Demetri replies and pulls Sophie onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her “I love you Dem” She kissed him “I love you too”

Everyone noticed the diamond ring on Sophie’s finger as soon as they entered the family room for Secret Santa “Oh my god, look at the rock on Sophie’s hand” Chelsea called out grabbing her hand “It’s beautiful” Heidi added “Congratulations to you both” Aro said shaking Demetri’s hand. Sophie told their friends how Demetri had proposed, including how Nico slapped him and told him off because Demetri’s proposal had made her cry “Oh, he’s so sweet and protective of his mummy” Jane said smiling over at Nico, who was sitting with Ellie and Alec.

Sophie received a €40 Boux Avenue gift card from her Secret Santa “You’re welcome” Heidi said low, winking at her, Sophie blushed slightly. Demetri received a pair of black leather gloves and a shot glass from his Secret Santa “I hear having two kids under the age of one can be stressful” Santiago said smiling as Demetri looked at the shot glass with a confused expression “I’ll bare that in mind” He replied. Jane loved the make-up Demetri got her and thanked him with a hug “You’re welcome Jane” He replied low.

That night Demetri and Sophie read the children their personalised Christmas stories and tucked them into bed “Thank you for our gifts” Nico said to his parents “You’re both very welcome” Demetri replied kissing them both goodnight, Sophie kissed them goodnight too and left the room. Sophie and Demetri cuddled up in bed watching another Christmas movie “Thank you for today Dem. It’s been the best Christmas ever” “Thank you for today too, I think the kids had fun. It’s been my best Christmas too, especially as I gained a fiancé today” He replied “Me too and the ring is gorgeous” She leant up and kissed him enjoying being held in her mate’s arms.

Sophie discovered from Gianna that the city has a New Year’s Eve firework display every year and decided that her and Demetri were going to take Nico and Ellie to see this display. “Sophie due to my vampire hearing I’ll be standing near the back otherwise my ears will be ringing and I won’t enjoy the firework display” Demetri said as he got Nico ready “That’s ok. The noise is likely to be loud for Ellie too, so I bought her some earmuffs” Sophie as she puts a pair of beige earmuffs on her “Maybe you should have got daddy a pair too” Nico says laughing, earning a glare from Demetri. Sophie choked back a laugh and replied “I didn’t think that. Maybe I’ll get him a pair for next year” “Just make sure they’re black” Demetri replied with a straight face “Yes sir” Sophie called out and saluted him “Mummy thinks she’s so funny” Demetri said looking between the children, a small smirk on his lips “Mummy is funny” Nico replied smiling “Little traitor” Demetri muttered and Nico just shrugged.

Once outside in the city square, they found a space amongst the crowd that ensured Sophie and Nico could see the fireworks but that wouldn’t be uncomfortable for Demetri. Ellie appeared to like the colours of the fireworks, the earmuffs doing their job of muffling the loud noise, she kept tapping Demetri and pointing to the sky smiling and Demetri couldn’t help smiling at her reaction, finding it rather cute “What do you think of the fireworks buddy?” “I think they’re cool, the different colours and noises they make” Nico replied looking up at his dad, whilst still holding Sophie’s hand “Thank you for this cara mia” Demetri said low into his mate’s ear “For what?” She asked confused “For giving me the chance to experience a ‘human’ family life of my own, something I never got to have…obviously” He replied low kissing her cheek “I really do have the best of both worlds with you and the children” He added “I’m glad. I just want to nurture Nico’s human side and for him to make as many memories as possible in his accelerated childhood, after all he’s going to watch Ellie grow up at a slower rate, making memories and I don’t want him missing out on anything” She replied “You really are the best mummy in the world and I’m so proud to call you my mate” He responded wrapping arm around her, holding his family close “You are the best daddy in the world and I couldn’t have asked for a better mate handsome” She leant up and kissed his lips “Happy New Year” “Happy New Year Soph” He smiled at her as they continued to watch the fireworks, seeing in the New Year as a family.

How to choose a child dressing gown?

A child cotton dressing gown is the most significant wardrobe purchase a new parent will make for their little munchkin.

They are made to be lightweight so that they can be taken in and out of the shower and for an outing.

A lot of dressing gowns are made with a fitted bodice that has a band or skirt that hangs down past the waist.

Some of these dressing gowns are made with a V cut, with one sleeve or two, while others have either a straight skirt or a full skirt with an empire waistline.

There are a lot of businesses offering a range of quality clothing such as kids' dressing gowns, bridal satin nightdress, etc.

However, purchasing clothing from a business among the bunch of available options is not as easy as it may seem. 

The following are some of the things to keep in mind when it comes to choosing a child-dressing gown.

·        Choosing the dress based on your requirements

The size of the dressing gown you choose should be based on your needs. 

If your child is still developing and growing, you may want to choose a larger dress to give them more room to grow. 

 It should fit easily, yet not so tight that it restricts their movements or doesn’t allow for breathing.

Gowns come in a wide range of colors and styles. From basic black, white, and pastel to bright shades, neon blues, and metallic golds. 

The most popular colour is usually white, but some people will select a darker color if it’s going to be a night out with friends or family. 

Be sure to take into account your child’s age, personality, and dress preferences when choosing a colour for their baby dressing gown.

·        Consider the type and quality of fabric 

The fabric is extremely important when it comes to choosing a dressing gown. You will need to choose between silk, lace, or any other type of fabric that will give your baby their favorite color and style of dress.

Fabrics like satin, tulle, and silk are soft and comfortable and can be easily machine washed. These sorts of fabrics can be worn and folded to keep in place and protect fragile articles of clothing.

·        Check the level of comfort from the dress

No matter what type of dress you choose for your little one, it should be easy to take care of, durable, and comfortable. 

Purchasing a dress for your child that is durable and will last a lifetime. Many children will grow up and leave home, yet there are those rare sorts of people who will be with you forever, and it will be your responsibility to give them a magnificent memory for the rest of their lives and to show them how much you love and care for them.

In conclusion, these above-stated are some of the things to keep in mind when it comes to choosing a child dressing gown.

Misaki: You think Terushima’s decorating was OTT? It would have been twice as bad if she hadn’t calmed him down

Nohebi:

Suguru (+ Mika): Only decorates with green not red (red is Nekoma), he and Mika go ice skating together 

Kuguri: Can’t be bothered to stay up on New Years Eve

Itachiyama:

Sakusa: Disinfects all of the decorations that Komori gets, he also prefers simplistic Christmas wreaths over tinsel and other things

Komori: Attempts to decorate, loves the Christmas season and goes for walks in the snow

Inarizaki:

Kita: Uses traditional decorations and hates plastic trees (one broke while he was holding it and fell on his foot - yes I’m projecting, it happened to me and it hurt) - he makes personalised cards for the whole team and arranges a Christmas dinner

Omimi: Gives cards and that’s it, secretly enjoys the jokes in crackers

Aran: Binges Christmas movies, absolutely loves them and will sing Christmas songs a lot too

Ginjima: Is desperate to make Christmas run smoothly, makes paper stars

The Miya Twins: Osamu makes a lot of food and Atsumu decorates with tinsel - the pair wear matching Christmas jumpers

Suna: Disses everyone’s cooking (mentally) around Christmas and attempts to tone down Atsumu’s vibrant decorations - is the best at hanging things up

Riseki: Listens to Christmas songs a lot and hums to them in school

Akagi: Sometimes he and Atsumu try to do passing drills with a burnt Christmas pudding or a satsuma

Extras:

Ikejiri: Definitely a handmade card sort of person, the only one who doesn’t take off his christmas cracker hat

Takeru (Wakunan): He and his family throw massive Christmas and New Years parties - is the epitome of Christmas Cheer

Hyakuzawa: Is dressed as a Christmas tree 100% - forgets the lyrics to any Christmas song

Hoshiumi: That one person who only gets chocolate for Christmas and then has a massive sugar rush

Please I would love to read more of your Bobby headcanons, they are so cute!!

Some cute ones:

Buys you matching cake pyjamas (like the ones he wears in the villa) just to look cute

Slowly replaces the eyes on your photos with google eyes to see how much attention you’re paying

If MC goes away for the weekend, he’ll send her dramatic texts like “can’t talk. Too depressed, my love has abandoned me :(“ or dramatic selfies just to put a smile on her face

He’ll also take one photo from a frame and turn it upside down

When MC finally notices he pretends it’s always been that way and he had NOTHING to do with it

When MC notices the googly eyes he feigns ignorance to that too

Has a bad habit of buying candles of all scents and sizes

Goes to quiz nights at the pub with his friends but doesn’t really try too hard

Will make MC taste test all his recipes because he knows she’ll give her the most honest opinions

Calls your kids things like “cupcake” and “donut” no matter how much they hate it

If MC goes out for the night clubbing or something he’ll wait on the sofa for her, watching old Great British Bake Off episodes or a movie

Will ramble about new recipes daily to his friends, family and MC

Will happily dance in the living room with MC, be it stupid dance moves to make them both smile or slow dancing when he’s feeling sappy

He will sometimes just hold MC in the quiet, dim lights or candles, maybe with some quiet music on but sometimes just in the quiet

Makes personalised calendars for MC

Has a herb garden to make sure his home bakes are fresh

Cuddles constantly, no matter where or when he always wants to cuddle

Will come up behind MC and wrap his arms around her so often that she doesn’t even react

Gets a fridge magnet every time he visits a new place

He prefers to make sweet bakes but prefers to eat savoury bakes

Rarely gets take-aways but he gets them more often when he’s in a relationship to treat his partner

He will try to impress a girl by taking her to a more fancy restaurant but completely destroys any illusion that he’s suave by spilling things, tripping over his own feet or by making her laugh really loudly in a quiet setting

Will constantly do little things to make people smile, and will compliment people on things

Makes MC watch quiz shows all the time and constantly confidently shouts answers even if they’re not right

Makes the best tea and coffee without ever trying, sometimes it’s the only thing MC will smile for so he has her order memorised

If he goes grocery shopping by himself, he’ll constantly slip treats into the cart, like donuts and MCs favourite snacks

Accidentally tells MC he wants to be a parent with her and immediately panics until he sees the smile on her face

He’ll catch himself staring into space just thinking about how badly he wants a baby with MC and how excited he is to experience it all

There you go anon 🥰
