omggg I would love to request a "are you really so oblivious?" with Miguel

❛ summary | you're not picking up on any of the signs Miguel is throwing. he's is desperate enough to ask your pupil pavitr for help.

❛ sy's notes | as requested! i will post dad!miguel drabble on wednesday.

❛ sy's tags | pupil pavitr, pavitr being a helpful bug, some anger, some violence, mostly just minor angst and some cuteness.

“She's pretty, no?" Pavitr sings, "You could just assssk her. ”

Miguel doesn’t know why he’s here. He doesn't know why he's still trying after the trainwreck that was February. He also doesn’t know why the kid insists that 'help' is bombing his dates just to whisper in his ear. Dates that he feels are dates but you don’t know are dates.

That's what happens when you want a woman who hasn't dated in years.

It’s not enough that he’s stuffed himself into clothes that he doesn’t like, like the black button-up that is a size too small, because that’s the largest size he could find. He leaves a button or two exposed because as Pavitr says, you love to comment on how soft he looks with just a little skin. He has to be soft, too.

As if being soft was ever a good thing for Miguel. It never failed. He gets soft, his life goes complete and utter shit. You’re nibbling a hunk of roti between your thumb and index finger, grinning behind your fingers. You might have heard it, but like many things, you’re not connecting the dots. You never connect the fucking dots.

“Hm, new girlfriend, Pav?”

“Me?” he peeped, his grin ear to ear. “No! Bhaiya has his eye on a girl. A pretty girl.”

The loud cafe was full of beautiful women with thick bangles, kohl-lined eyes, and playful smiles. They spoke about all kinds of things: family life, relationships, friendships, and school. Of every woman here, he finds himself aching to know what goes on behind your eyes, almost troubled with what Pavitr was saying.

“Mi Miguel?” you tilt your head, a set of your gilded earrings clinking as you moved. Pavitr suggested you dress up on purpose-- Despite the power that courses through his upper body, Miguel feels weak. "Not my Miguel."

My Miguel-- Mi Miguel, both sound gorgeous when they come your lips. He could get used to it.

“See, she said ‘mi’, that’s your chance,” he’s whispering in Miguel’s ear. He pinches his brow, rolling the skin between his fingertips. Whatever chance Pavitr thinks he has is slipping away. Miguel can’t be bothered to stop it. This kid can't possibly know how you feel.

“You have to be talking about someone else. All those Spiders in HQ and yet Miguel never goes after them, not one. Mira-- Pav. On San Valentín Miguel gave me flowers, rosas. Of all the girls!”

Fuck. Pav blinked, his gaze following Miguel in his seat. He doesn’t address his humiliation, just lets you chew on it. He closes his eyes, wishing that he could forget that awkward day. It was pathetic, the way he called you into his lab, a bundle of roses in his arms. Just for a kiss on the cheek that proceeded to torment him the rest of the month. Aw, how cute, Miggy.

All that... just to be called cute.

"Maybe he likes you! Did you get him anything?" Pav is trying here, but you’re not picking up on anything that he’s laying down. You laughed it off, awkward as you were.

“Me? No, Miguel-- he doesn't like me,” you clean your hands and lean in your chair. Your sultry eyes fall on Miguel, bidding him to lower his hand from his eyes. He catches your gaze as you ask, "Do you, Miggy?"

"No. You're making assumptions."

Your eyes scan Miguel over, searching for some sort of fault in Miguel's face. Solemn, playing as amused. You don't find any in his hard gaze. You come to the antithesis of what he meant, assuming that he was talking to Pavitr rather than you. Your gaze hardens, shutting him out from the depths of your emotions. Then, your mood turns. It's not like you.

“See? The day Miguel finds a woman is the day I'll find a man." You reach for your tea, lips churning in a frown. " Pero, since he has someone, I should start looking in Nueva York, hm?”

Pavitr grimaces.

“Damn it!” Miguel bites out. His hand slams on the flimsy table, snapping it in two. Your tea spills over your gold dress as Pavitr and you lurch to stabilize it. It didn’t help that there were countless sets of warm eyes boring at Miguel as he stormed through the tiny entrance of the shop to avoid more damage to the poor owner’s store.

Why did he try? He was entirely sick of it. Sick of trying to show how much damn work he was doing to get you to understand how he felt. Pavitr had not helped at all. If anything, he made it worse. At least before-- you weren't looking for someone. When you were alone, just with him, it could be the two of you. No one else mattered. Miguel regrets stomaching his pride just to ask the boy for help. What was he thinking-- asking a teenager about adult issues?

“Miggy!”

He hears your voice but dips into the busy crowd. He sticking out like a sore thumb with his excessive muscle tone and your quick steps, quicker with your spider abilities. If you were anyone else, he would have cut you out of his life. Instead, he’s just a bug stuck in your spider web.

You snatched his watch-clad wrist, whirling him around. He can’t fight your touch, he longs for it, craves it more than he’s craved anything in the past few months. You shove him into a shadowy alleyway. His back connects with the wall, head shifting to the sea of saris and rich color. He isn’t looking at you.

“Miguel O’Hara, look at me.”

“Go find that man you want so much,” he bit out, the words scratching out of his throat as if they had barbs.

“¿Qué? Miguel, you’re-- dios mío. Why are you acting so angry? You didn't want me!”

“Of course, I want you! But you are-- are you really so oblivious?” he shouted, his fist connecting with the wall beside him, A crater forms around his massive hand, shaking loose dust from the building. "Nothing I do is enough."

"Stop," you grasp his hand, bringing them to your hand for a slight kiss. His heart rips into his chest, suddenly unable to tear his eye away from the red stain of lipstick over his knuckles. His irritation cools like cold water meeting a roiling boil, tracking how you shift his large palm to your cheek.

“Perdóname. I thought--” you find yourself mumbling, “You… How could you like me?”

He watches your hand fall away from his, maintaining a hold on your cheek. Even now, he finds you beautiful, soaked in chai all over your gilded gown. He knows why you can’t understand. Since he’s known you, you rarely had a man pursue you because as a girlfriend. Aside from your shapely body, you were the sort of woman men didn’t usually pursue. He knows you don’t like his shouting, it shows in the way your eyes dart to the pebbles under his boots. He tapers down his tone.

“I just do.” He sets a small kiss on your forehead, his hand slipping around to collar your nape. Your fingers turn over his tawny exposed chest, almost shyly so. You could bring him to his knees touching him like that, a gentleness that he’s only longed for since he first fell for you. You’re so close-- yet, nothing is solidified. It could slip away. “¿Y tú?”

“I-- I do, I do too.”

Your cheeks flush. Moreso when he spots Pavitr peeking around the corner, gazing at his thumb stroking your cheek with the most aggravating smile ruptured across his face. Miguel releases a breath he wasn’t aware he was holding, his tone becoming sharp, nearly heartless in the way he says them.

“Soooo, do you... need any more help, Bhaiya?”

“I think we can take it from here, Pav. Thank you for helping me.”

Helping you? Miguel snaps down to look at you. You gaze back into Miguel’s confused eyes with the warmth that he needs at that moment. Pavitr’s picking-- about asking you out, teasing him when you said you’d find someone else-- suddenly makes complete sense. Pav slides away, grinning like the idiot Miguel feels he is.

“What do you mean-- Helping you?”

“Well,” you smiled. “Miggy. He’s my kid. You couldn’t have really thought he’d help you.”

“No. Apparently not."

⤻ reader is gender neutral, reader is rosa, workplace romance, fluff, artem being a malewife fr

🦋 ⤻ archives.

— At the start of the day, it begins with a kiss, mwah!

— Both of you alternate days where you get breakfast together, either homemade or bought from a cafe both of you like.

— The moment you both enter the office, though, both your hands unlatch from each other, and it's serious work time!

— He doesn't like it when you make instant noodles for lunch or dinner, so he tries to pack extra snacks or even a whole bento box just for you.

— When it comes to coffee or tea or any other beverage of your preference, Artem always has some stocked up in the pantry of the law firm.

— Although he doesn't really like to show public displays of affection, he can be rather cheeky.

Artem's hands brush against yours when you place the files down on his desk. He looks up at you just as his fingers retreat.

"Sorry." He smiled. Honestly, sometimes he was just as cheeky as Marius.

— Has a picture of you on his desk.

— He likes to angle the photo of you towards any client/worker that's in his office to let them know he's taken. You know for a fact the moment you both get married — which you will, Artem will ensure that — he'll flash his wedding ring anytime he can.

— Sneaks kisses during break at the pantry. Nothing too spectacular, just a simple kiss on the cheek and a good job.

— A single bud of your favourite flower is always on your table every day, and when you realise this, you do the same thing back towards him.

You chuckle when you spot the usual bud on your table. It seems like your suspicions were correct. After all, the flowers were going to be a usual thing in your relationship.

You made a mental note to prep flowers for him tomorrow, too.

— You both spend lunch together, period. Unless, of course, you both need to meet a client. He's a bit clingy but not overbearing.

— You best be sure he's driving you home every night. As much as he believes Stellis is safe, he still wants to be a good boyfriend and gentleman by bringing you home. If you live together and he specifically needs to stay late, he will drive you home first, no matter what.

— Every alternating Friday, both of you will either have a dinner date at home or go out to a restaurant. Who cooks is who feels like it. Artem especially loves when you cook, even if your cooking is horrible.

— Ends and starts the day with a kiss. Mwah!

WHO: Narcissa & Estelle (@fcrox) WHERE: Rosa Lee Teabag's, exterior WHEN: Midday

Since graduating, Narcissa rarely found herself visiting Hogsmeade Village when either Diagon Alley or Knockturn Alley had everything she could possibly need to get a hold of. That being said though, every once in a while, she had a hankering to head over to sit and have a cup of tea at Rosa Lee Teabags and take in the much quieter surroundings of the cosy village.

With the weather as pleasant as it was, Narcissa had taken up one of the tables outside the cafe, eyes perusing the days Daily Prophet as she waited for her tea to arrive. Glancing up, she caught sight of a familiar witch heading her way.

"Estelle, hello. How are you? Do you have time to sit a while?"

Brawl Stars ☆ BeaRosa Short Fic ☆ Monster Academy AU

「 ✦ 1244 Words ✦ 」

Pining sillies who are just gals being pals (not romance quite yet, but just a charming little story of the two of them interacting in this AU!)

Bea is a Biology Major, while Rosa is only pursuing Botany on the side (for now. She later decided to study it fully after some thought.)

˚ʚ☆ɞ˚

"Hey, honeycomb."

Bea jolted awake, her wings suddenly fluttering fast enough to take off. If she hadn't been sitting down, she definitely would’ve gone straight through the ceiling. Instead, her knee hit the bottom of the desk, earning her a yelp, and quite possibly a bruise later. She looked up to see the cheer captain herself, holding two cups from the campus cafe. Rosa looked down at her with that warm smile she liked so much, gesturing to the cups.

"Fancy a cuppa?"

"Oh! Thank you...." Bea nodded, smiling up at her. She looked around, remembering her current setting. One of the many hidden little study areas for the students of the academy. There were just a few around here, but that was just how she liked it.

"And, good afternoon Rosa. I didn't know you had class today," the biology major greeted.

To be woken up by Rosa without any notice… she may as well have just flown off and out the window. It was embarrassing, really, she wasn't prepared at all! Now that she finally saw the cheer captain properly, it was curious that she was wearing the school’s gym uniforms. She didn’t recall her having a fitness class on this day. She had her bag over her shoulder as well, filled to the brim with what she could only assume was equipment.

Rosa stared at her, before laughing softly and setting down the cups carefully on the side.

"Afternoon? It's half past six, mate. It's evening by now."

"What?!" Her antenna stuck straight up, before she clasped her hands over her mouth, remembering they were in the quiet study area. Some murmurs from students around her, followed by slight glances to the two women, before focusing back on their work. "What do you mean six?” Surely it was just a joke on Rosa's part, right? “It was just two when I..."

Rosa hushed another light laugh, taking a seat next to Bea, crossing one leg over the other. "You might've missed ya alarms then... no wonder you didn't pick up when I called ya phone," she picked up her cup, taking a sip.

"It seems so."

"Good thing you didn't have classes this afternoon. Woulda been late if I hadn't gone looking."

Bea nodded, sighing as she looked at the desk she had fallen asleep at. Her books were still open, thankfully no vandalism or thefts as far as she could tell. She put a lavender bookmark in between the pages of the larger textbook, closing it carefully before she put it away in her bag.

"Been up studyin’ again?" Rosa asked, earning an answer with a tiny buzz of confirmation. It wasn’t a new thing where Bea would fall asleep while studying, especially during weeks like this where all nighters were more common.

"You gotta be careful though, remember what happened that one time you fell asleep in the library."

Bea shuddered at the thought, shaking her hand to dismiss the unwelcome memories, "please, don't remind me. I'm actively trying to forget that whole event."

She picked up the cup, taking a sip of the lovely drink her dear friend had brought her. Rosa always knew her order, honeydrop earl grey tea, four added sugarcubes, a swirl of vanilla syrup, and topped with just that perfect squeeze of lemon. It was just amazing that Rosa knew her order down to a T, and on top of that, the fact that she found her here of all places. Speaking of...

"How did you know I was here?" Bea asked, setting down the cup. Rosa set down hers next to her, leaning back in the chair.

"Called you a few times to see if we were still meeting up today, but you didn't answer."

Rosa tapped her cup with her finger, looking at her. Bea blinked in confusion, taking out her phone to see it had been entirely set to silent. On top of that, sixteen missed calls from the cheerleader. Her face reddened, finally realizing.

"Oh."

She missed that many calls from Rosa.

"...oh."

The Rosa.

The same Rosa she had promised to go out with this very same day. The same day she'd foolishly fallen asleep at some desk in the middle of the school.

"We were meeting at the cafe today! I'm so sorry, the time passed me by! You were there for ho—" Rosa ruffled her hair, making the shorter lady stop talking.

"Oi, let me finish! I'm not blaming you or anything."

Rosa's hand remained in Bea’s hair. She had leaned closer to do so, just hovering above her head. Now she could see, very closely she might add, that her hair was a lovely orange, kinda goldish colour, like honey itself. A golden crown atop her head. The curls bounced back as she gave her each pat. Bea had closed her eyes with the pats too.

Rosa pulled back her hand quickly after, fixing her glasses as she fixed herself in her chair.

"It's alright mate, I called so much since I was running late too..." She admitted, scratching the horn on her forehead with one of her nails, a habit she’s picked up when she felt embarrassed. Bea would never comment on it though. How could she, since she did the same in some situations. In all honesty, it was hard to tell which one did it first before the other copied it.

"I figured you got busy somewhere, since the last thing you sent was that you were studying somewhere on campus. So, I went around checking the usual spots you study at. Couldn’t let the drinks get cold, right? Lucky you were in the first few places I checked, or I woulda been here all night."

Bea couldn't help but giggle at the thought of Rosa jogging about the school trying to find her. Mind you, the place is buzzingly big! It was a miracle she'd found her. She'd rather her out of anyone to be the one to wake her up though, and with tea as well? What a lovely, very good friend she was.

"Bea?" The question snapping her back to the moment at hand.

"Oh, yes. Thank you, again, for bringing the drink. It was very sweet of you," Bea said, her warm smile beaming like golden treasure.

Rosa met her eyes for just a moment, before brushing it off with a wave. The cheerleader smiled widely, only growing at Bea's words. The boundless glow of her cheery voice always felt different. Comfortable, one could say.

"Don't worry about it, honeycomb. Now, hm...can you tell me about what you were studyin? You know it helps to see how much you even remember, can’t let all that time go to waste." She suggested, turning in the chair to face her.

Bea's face lit up, the flow of thoughts rushing in as she started to carefully explain everything. Her wings occasionally flapped with each new subject, a very gentle breeze blowing by each time. For Bea, Rosa was just the perfect listener, giving questions after each fact and piece of information that allowed Bea to email all the necessary details of the topic. Rosa leaned closer in her seat, making sure she truly took in all the information as well.

In Rosa’s honest opinion, Bea did a wonderful job of explaining a topic, you know. Perhaps a bit too much to some, but it was all welcome for Rosa. Always would be.

˚ʚ☆ɞ˚

Made it all this way? Thank you for reading! Here's a doodle of my own Bea design for this au:

I hope I find it in me to write a follow-up with some scene of them confessing 😭😭 they're literally so oblivious it's so silly. Mutual pining is my passion. ❤️

It's been a while since I did any writing, so I'm very happy I was able to gain some inspiration for this piece!

(Terafest '23 Request for Cozy Tea Cafe!)

A yamask and two other Pokemon, one of them being oddly a poipole, come visit the cozy tea cafe.

The yamask has a paper where it is written in a somewhat old time handwriting "fairy type for bubbles,she is the igglybuff. Poison type for poi, he is the poipole. And a ghost type tea for me. A bit obvious? True. But might as well test those out first"

The yamask is smiling

Well this is a bit unusual for Rosa, not every day some Pokémon come up to a store with an interest in buying something from it. The red head reads over the order and rings it up before handing it off to Flavia so she can make the requested drinks. After a few moments Rosa hands over the Fairy Type, Poison type, and Ghost type teas to the Pokémon. "Thank you for coming, this was certainly an interesting experience."

[[ Fairy= Strawberry, Poison= Gooseberry, Ghost= Blackberry ]]

[gothicrosary]

my ponysona, Dulce Rosa! Her cutiemark is a teacup, as she is extremely talented and well versed in the world of tea blends and edible pairings. She is a tea connoisseur, she dabbles in the rare or expensive coffee bean now and then, but her priorities and affinities lie in tea leaves and flower petals.  Her cafe, The Wilting Petal, is gothic and hosts live music events weekly! She likes to give upcoming/local acts a platform. The bakery portion and all food options available perfectly match the tea blends offered, this lineup changes based on the season and availability of teas.

[oldfangirl81]

I tried three new teas from Sub Rosa Tea and all are great.

Almond Biscotti might be my favorite but I figured it would be so I got a full size. It smells so yummy too.

Hazelnut Cafe Latte is maybe a little too coffee chocolatey for me to reach for regularly but with a little cream it is still tasty.

Raspberry Cassata Cake is a terrific dessert tea if you like raspberry and I do. And this one is caffeine free.

Herbal tea and old English

[unovasrose]

The walk from the nearest parking spot to Village Bridge was quite a ways, though being the trooper he was, Wriothesley pushed his equipment through the snowy streets with a little Alolan vulpix giving him company. Getting nearer and nearer, his eyes gazed at the ever-growing Christmas decorations on the bridge. The vulpix, prancing and occasionally jumping onto his feet, finally decided to rest on the cafe’s dolly that her owner had pushed until they stopped. “Excuse me, Miss Vail?”

Clearing his voice, sapphire hues met hers. “I heard you were holding a holiday festival here and helping Pokemon in need, so I’d like to do my part for the holidays.” With a smile, “I brought over a tea maker and heater, alongside a generous amount of Silver Tips imperial tea to help keep your spirits warm.” Unveiling one of the cart compartments, what seemed like a mountain of poke puffs and cupcakes were below. “Our baker over at Meropis cafe insisted she share these with you.” The boxer then gave a half bow with a hand to his heart. “Thank you for all you’ve done, and have a wonderful holiday, Miss Vail.” With that, he scooped up his frosty companion, waved goodbye, and took off.

Rosa has never met the man, Wriothesley, but she's seen him in passing. Her stays at her Nimbasa apartment are fairly infrequent and only related to official business but she's found herself ducking beneath the awning of the Meropis café seeking shelter and life-bringing caffeine on more than one occasion. It was a charming, homey café and she had been surprised to see that the owner was a man as imposing as him.

Still, the tea and pastries she'd savored previously dictate that he has good taste and she immensely appreciates that... though not as much as she appreciates his straightforward generosity in this very moment. It's been a long and busy week for the festival volunteers. The gift of tea, delicate sweets, and a means to keep warm in this unprecedentedly chilling winter are bound to keep everyone's spirits high so they can continue to carry on with their duties.

Oh, their benefactor seems to be in a hurry.

"Wriosthesley," she calls out before he disappears through the door. "Thank you, to you and everyone at Meropis café. Your kindness won't be taken for granted."

A warm smile follows. "Merry Christmas and safe travels back to Nimbasa."

Study dates study dates study dates

Sure hes a busy CEO, but he's still a student. When he's tied up with both and still wants to help you, he picks you up/comes over for a study date! There are two ways this can go. He's either stunningly focused, taking good notes while you're in his lap and hes pressing kisses to the top of your head, or he's wrapped around u like a koala distracting you until you scold him

Say the word and hes all over helping you. Hes patient and thorough, having known you long enough to know how best you process information. He even swallowed his pride and went to Vyn for resources bc he saw you were struggling :)

BUT he might huff a lil if you're not getting smth, mostly bc he thought that way would work and is trying to think of another way to put it

If he can't get away from work, he asks his assistant to check up on you, be it with a call or a visit.

After a big test he'll pop you in his car and barrel down an open road with the music at max, reveling in your smile. He takes you to some isolated cliff or beach aaa

If you struggle waking up, he either wakes you himself in-person or with a call on his way to work, he left u breakfast on the counter :)

He does prefer texting, but not with you anwjfw he calls u so often he just misses your voice

vyn richter

Guys hes literally a professor so hear me out

Ofc as a teacher AND a shrink hes gonna know exactly what you need before you need it, be that resources, breaks, or help going back to it. He'll make sure you learn it, even if you're a little mad at him being so strict in the moment :(

When you thank him after and apologize he brushes it off, it was nothing and he knows you were stressed

Take him somewhere please hes fine but wants to make sure you still trust him to fix ur problems and take you places idk why hes so bent on being reliable its endearing and sus asf

Cafe study dates :) he does his thing but monitors you closely, helping when necessary

Knows exactly how to explain things and never ONCE gets impatient

His presence becomes invisible even when hes helping you. You hear his voice and accept his help, but you almost forget hes a person until he touches you. It's really nice for feeling like you're able to focus on your own thing without feeling lonely

If you manage to stump him hes VERY impressed and rewards you somehow ankwifusk

After a big test he spends a whole day in with you, reading aloud and playing with your hair while a relaxing tea cools on the table next to you both.

artem wing

EFFICIENCY IAJWJUFJET he studied for the bar and went thru all of law school, not to mention he keeps up his review strategies from college to make sure hes always prepared

Hes got his own planner for YOUR assignments and helps you break them down

If you need help he'll send resources but hes really busy so hes confident you can find help

Doesn't trust Vyn so he wont call him himself, but if you go to the psych hes got no issue (lie)

Reads up on your major between cases it's so funny and celestine is in hysterics

Hes so sweet about reminding you to do things and will sit with you if you have trouble getting started otherwise. Always makes sure to reassure you afterwards that you're not incapable and he's not babying you out of pity, he wants to help and since that helps you do things more easily he'll always help however he can.

Lets you search under his account since he gets most news sites for free, be it through connections or a minor expense he'll never tell you about

Loves staying somewhere quiet and comfy when helping you out, so if you aren't at his or your home, he's taken you to a library

After a test he slow dances with you in his flat after taking you for an evening window shopping and eating small local snacks

You tease him about kisses as rewards for correctly answered questions? He's loosening his tie and leaning closer, embarrassed but fully ready to kiss you... is he excited? The way he's whispering "is it right?" after each question is enough to make you laugh, enjoying his light and genuine smile every time you confirm and the little furrow in his brow when you get one wrong

He gets pent up and when you finish the sheet he's pulling you in fast by the back of your neck

Loves when you make flashcards, he's excited to quiz you. It makes him feel properly helpful and he loves your smile when you recall a term correctly

Goes out to get coffee every now and again and always comes back with a flower for you, be it picked from between the sidewalk or bought from a vendor

luke pearce

Kisses you himself for every correct answer ok listen to this

You're in his lap (ofc) and his head is over your shoulder. He's likely familiar with the subject, so he doles out rewards and lil punishments of his own accord. With every correct answer, he presses a kiss of random length to your cheek, laughing when you get huffy at a chaste peck. However, wrong answers have him biting your earlobe. The first time he did it your breath hitched, but you quickly realized it wasn't sexual when he dug his sharp canine into it just enough to hurt without being damaging. Your blush was worth the slap on the arm (if ur into pain. Uhhhh idk what to say wjdjjwr have fun getting things wrong on purpose 😭)

Likes helping you study in open areas, so if you're down he'll take you to the building with the most windows on campus, the plaza, or some remote location he knows abt thru his work

Is SO prepared, has a duffel bag just for helping you out filled with review materials he made himself, your favorite snacks, and somehow, the exact amount of water you need for that outing

If you're taking a moment alone to focus, hes running off and making a pile of interesting or pretty things hes bought or found while you're busy and presents them to you when you're done

Wants to be touching you the whole time this is not optional

Knows your music taste and puts smth on when appropriate if you like but makes sure you're focused when you need to be

If you're in a funk and just cannot get into the right mindset, he knows exactly what you need to fix it

Need comfort after a hard test? He does what your mother used to do when you were younger, and to your surprise it's still effective

If you like making your notes pretty he buys you stationery

Makes you a discreet recording device so you can listen to lectures for anything you missed

After a hard test he takes you to do something active or spend an evening in his shop, reliving the past and making silly impressions of way-back-when

Makes a lil digital him on your phone in case he can't help you and it reminds you of coping strategies and locks your apps until break time 😭

MC

She remembers studying for the bar and does everything she can to help you out

Shes the most willing of all of them to go to the others, here's her thought process

Vyn knows you by now and can offer the best suggestions of what's needed both emotionally and for the best learning possible. Artem knows all the organization hacks, seeing as he's found ways to combat his time-blindness. Marius knows college resources that are available to students and non-students and who to ask for tutoring help, plus he's paying for any textbooks you need of his own accord. Luke knows how to make learning fun or engaging enough without being distracting so you can stay focused but happy!

She's there with you the entire time, pressing soft kisses to your free hand when you get frustrated. She's making tea and leaving it on your desk, heading to another room since you're in a funk with being distracted a little too easily. She's setting break timers and whisking you away from your chair to feed you cookies she baked the night before in preparation for your study session today.

She wishes she could help you more often, but she'll take what she can get and takes pride in knowing artem's time management strategies are really making a difference

In the beginning of school, she walks with you to any offices of teachers you haven't met before to discuss the year's expectations, academic supports, and to get a better sense of them as a person

Kisses after every meeting and test! And while you're doing homework, if you're struggling, she gives you a kiss after every completed assignment

If you have an IEP and it isn't being honored, even after you try advocating for yourself, she approaches the teacher with your permission

Will go up to bat for you if you need things put in place since schools often push back on any supports

Wants to hear everything about your day, regardless if you're venting or happily rambling. She wishes she could tell you about her's in return, but it's all far too confidential.

Praises improvement very nonchalantly, and calms you when something goes wrong. If there's an issue with a grade or you're struggling, she tends to jump straight to solutions before sympathy. A quick reminder is all it takes for her to give you some support, but she never lets you sulk

After a hard test she likes to set up a romantic candlelit bath, complete with bath salts and rose petals. She's going to spoil you all night, no excuses!

Finally goddamn shes so far down,,,, this character layout is self indulgent lmao marius gets me started off strong with the writing, vyn fuels me thru, by the end of artem's section I'm kinda worn out so I'm happy to get a break with some sweet boy content, then it's all worth it in the end bc MC I am not only in love with, but I get to take more creative liberties w her

[peralta-guaranteed]

The squad's coffee orders, if they ever have the chance to go for something that isn't stale breakroom coffee:

(Hitchcock & Scully still stick with the breakroom, thanks)

Holt: black coffee. Preferably black tea, but no one knows how to steep it right so he's stopped ordering it.

Gina: unicorn frappe, what do you mean you're not going to starbucks, ugh, what's the point

Terry: skinny mochaccino with a protein booster and cinnamon on top

Charles: Kopi Luwak coffee which sadly no one offers. So just the most exotic roast, with goat's milk and a dash of vinegar and brown sugar to bring out the true flavours

Rosa: espresso. (if pressed, she'll also enjoy a good chai latte, but no one needs to know that)

Amy: tries to like black coffee like her mentor, but Jake will get her the Cafe Con Leche she really craves anyway

Jake: okay so. You got a marker for the cup? Okay so basically you fill it about half with sugar and cocoa powder, white choc if possible, then pour a triple espresso over it until it all mixes, then three ice cubes, half-steamed milk and finish it with a pump of hazelnut and one of vanilla and yes okay sorry one hot chocolate instead please sorry

Garden Party + Coconut

I CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT MARIUS CALLS VYN PLEASE FORGIVE ME

NXX does another team outing to a tropical garden cafe, things go slightly south when a coconut falls on Vyn’s head

This is the lowest of key Vyn slander, 10/10 would make a coconut fall on his head again.

With another NXX meeting wrapped up, the five members lapse into casual conversation.

Rosa sighs, setting down her nth cup of coffee (the others would scold her for it, but the last time they did she pointed out their hypocrisy, so they let it slide for now).

“You know what, we should have another bonding activity, that’d be fun after all of this stress.”

Vyn is quick to nod along, “yes, an outing with you would certainly be an effective destresser.”

Marius gives him the stink eye. “Eh, you make it sound like you’re going to steal her all for yourself.” 

Rosa smiles. “If we do anything it’ll be together.” She raises a brow at Vyn. “You got that?”

“Ah Rosa, always so considerate of others.”

“Actually, I think I know what we can do.”

Rosa leans towards Artem, “oh? What is it?”

Artem pulls out his phone, on it he scrolls until he lands on an e-voucher.

“A recent client gave me 2 vouchers for afternoon tea at the new tropical garden.”

“Just two?” Luke asks. “I thought we were going to do something as a team.”

“Technically it’s for 2 couples, but children are allowed to come as long as they are paid for.”

“Oh?” Rosa’s eyes widen. “But none of us look like someone’s kid, do we?”

Artem needs no time to think. “Marius definitely does.”

“HEY!”

“If that upsets you then perhaps Luke can be the child, he does look the most youthful.”

“HEY!!”

Luke doesn’t mind the comment, instead turning to Marius. “What are you upset about this time?”

He points a finger at Vyn. “Are you telling me I look older than Luke?!”

He doesn’t reply, simply taking a sip of his tea.

-

Despite earlier protests, Marius steps up to pay for his entry. It wouldn’t hurt his wallet after all.

-

On the day, they arrive at the venue around the same time.

Artem takes the lead, showing the voucher to the waitresses by the door. They gladly lead the group into the tropical cafe, which definitely lives up to its name.

It’s like a chunk of a tropical island was dropped right into Stellis. There are flower bushes of varying colors and sizes, there’s so much vegetation that they all silently wonder how it’s kept alive.

They’re brought to the unroofed part of the building, where the palm and coconut trees sway in the subtle breeze.

“Please, take a seat!”

Being the first one there, Artem sits at the head of the table. Rosa follows behind, sitting on a seat to his left hand.

Unfortunately for this group, even something as small as seating arrangement can take a while.

The remaining three men surround the chair next to Rosa.

“Hey I was here first. I wanna sit here!”

“No you weren’t Marius, I was the one walking behind Rosa. You just pushed past me.”

Vyn only smiles, “how about we let Rosa decide, hm?”

With that all four of them turn to Rosa. She sighs deeply, did they really have to collectively share only one brain cell, and did that one brain cell always have to be attached to her?!

“Marius, you can sit beside me.”

The man in question jumps up, a fist pumped in the air. He plops onto his seat with flourish, sticking his tongue out at the two losers.

“Miss has good taste. That’s what makes her so great.”

While Luke grumbles quietly, Vyn not-so-subtly rushes to the chair opposite of her.

“Why yes, which is why she’s allowed me to be the one her eyes come to rest on.”

Marius rolls his eyes while Luke trudges to the last chair. Once he’s seated he slouches with a huff.

Artem, who was probably zoned out the entire time, calls their attention at last to the menu.

“Everyone gets to choose one type of tea. Once we do they’ll serve some pastries and-”

BONK, something lands square on Vyn. A strangled noise comes from his throat as he reaches up to rub the top of his head. His glasses have been knocked askew on his nose, which he fixes with his free hand.

The rest of the table looks at him in shock. Luke had raised his arms up, Artem’s mouth hung open, and Marius’s eyes had gone wide. Rosa was even halfway out of her seat.

Artem’s the first to utter a word. “What…?”

His trailing speech is cut off by Rosa’s chair scraping across the floor. She stands completely,  immediately going over to Vyn.

“Are you okay?!” Rosa was relieved that he was still sitting upright, but she wanted to be sure.

Luke doesn’t say a word, but he eyes his head for any injuries. Seeing none, he scooches his chair back to look at the fallen offender.

Vyn quickly smiles, his gaze softening when Rosa pats his head.

“I’m alright. I only ever need your concern and care to feel better, no matter what happens.”

Rosa’s face goes red, and both Artem and Marius scoff.

“I’m surprised his skull didn’t make a hollow sound.”

“Marius!” Rosa says, horrified. “He could have seriously been hurt!”

He deflates a bit in his seat. “...but he wasn’t.”

“He said he’s okay, Rosa.” Artem’s gaze flickers from Marius to Rosa then to Vyn. “There’s no more need to worry, let’s enjoy the food.”

As they speak, Luke gets up. He softly touches Rosa’s arm as he bends over to pick up…

“A coconut?” Rosa whirls around to take a closer look.

Luke looks up, she can’t tell if it’s to think or to look at the coconut trees overhead.

“Yeah, I think this might be the guilty coconut.”

At the blink of an eye a man, who they assume to be the manager, appears before them. It appears that he saw the whole thing go down. He wrings his hands as he launches into a spiel.

“Valued guests,” when he looks over the group, his eyes land on Rosa and Artem’s attorney badges and he quickly adds in a quivering voice, “attorneys.”

Rosa’s eyebrows furrow. She nods at him to continue.

“Please forgive us for our oversight, which may have led your companion to being injured. When building this establishment we kept in mind the possible hazard of falling coconuts. We understand that risk, which is why we have nets under the trees. Unfortunately it may not have been enough. We’ll make sure this won’t happen again.” He takes a deep breath before continuing. “However luckily, it was a relatively small coconut, which may have left him spooked, but not seriously injured. Due to that fact, we hope that you can,” he clears his throat, “overlook this incident.”

It was apparent to the group that the baseline was: “Please don’t sue us.”

Rosa’s about to launch herself into an argument when Artem speaks up.

“That coconut…” Artem brings his hand to his chin while he gathers his thoughts. His pause leaves them all in suspense.

In the meantime Vyn picks one up for himself. He tests the weight of it, eyeing the ones still hanging from the trees.

“It’s fake.” They say in unison.

It had Rosa fooled. “Fake?!”

Marius motions for Vyn to hand over the coconut. He doesn’t, and so Marius resorts to nabbing Artem’s. Around and around, he turns it in his hands.

“Impressive, it’s incredibly realistic.”

Artem’s gaze shifts to the side due to theft, but makes no further comment.

After simply watching the whole interaction, Luke raises a brow. “Are the trees fake too?”

The manager shakes his head. “The trees are real, however we use prop coconuts here and there to enhance the garden’s image.”

He nods. “So really, there was no chance of him getting a concussion or anything.” As if to prove his point he tosses the coconut up and one with one hand.

“No, not at all sir!”

“That should settle it then,” Luke pats Rosa’s shoulder, “you can relax now.” He even leans in to mutter, “he’s probably too hard-headed to get hurt like that anyway.”

Rosa suppresses a giggle, which earns her a wink.

“Yeah Miss, enough of letting Dr. Richter ruin our day.”

“Yes, the food should be out shortly.” Artem gives a pointed look to the manager. “It’d be a shame if this incident overshadowed our outing.”

Luke walks Rosa back to her seat, pulling the chair out and pushing it back in like a true gentleman. “They’re right,” he says with a smile, “after all, the food’s always the best part!”
