#sorry if my thoughts are a bit scattered today hehehehe

[brushes-of-sage]

If all 8 parts dont come thru blame tumblr and their ask limit frozen au idea: ok so yeah varian was born with ice powers(btw i have no idea if hugos adopted in this au or not, it might come back later, my brain is just spitting things at me atm)Varian hugo quirin and ulla were a happy family until one day and accident involving alchemy, ice magic, and a startled alchemist involves in both parents getting trapped in a giant amber trap(Hugo comes in just as the amber finishes consuming them)(1/8)

After this, varian is scared of himself and his abilities both in magic and alchemy. He now wears his gloves 24/7 as opposed to just during experimenting(varian is 9, hugo is 8 kinda like elsa and anna but flipped(i think)) Any confidence he had in his abilities is immediately shattered and try as he might he cant seem to free his parents with magic alchemy or both. Hugo tries to help as much he can but varian is too scared and doesnt want to hurt him. After doing some research,(2/8)

he tries to ask for the trolls help but they cant so he requests they erase his memories of varians power, for fear of hurting his brother (he cant seem to keep hugo out of his lab. He feels horrible about it but cant risk hurting his only family left) Btw i dont c varian hurting hugo accidentally as well i dont think he could emotionally handle it, but all u angst writers, knock urselves out. Fast forward a few years and varian is 21 and about to be crowned king bc he still hasnt found(3/8)

a way to free his parents. While at the coronation party hugo meets donella, quickly filling the mother role he wished he had. Little does he know, she is only posing as a foreign dignitary bc she heard rumors about a magical prince hiding in arendelle and wants to exploit/study it. By the end of the evening she determines its not hugo, but hopes getting in hugos good graces could help getting to varian. Fast forward to the ballroom, the brothers argue (about what i dunno), ice spikes, (4/8)

varian runs, hugo leaves to follow him, and leaves donella in charge. I also headcannon he gets his memories back as the movie goes on bc reasons. Along the way, he runs into belle, a hardened ice harvester whos seriously annoyed about this snow storm in july.(dont worry guys hugo and belle dont fall in love, theyre just friends)They trek their way up the mountain while varian builds himself an ice lab cuz hes a dork. Along the way they meet ice ruddiger("Im sorry u 2 made a snow raccoon but(5/8

not a snowman?" "shut up Belle")So they make it to the lab, Hugos impressed, he wants to reconcile, but varian still has Confidence Issues, insert first time in 4evr reprise and whoopsies Hugos heart is frozen and his hair is turning blue(its already blond) and Belle takes him to the trolls. They tell him “an act of true love” like b4 but they interpret it as familial/platonic love bc that love doesnt get enough love. He thinks its donella bc just like how anna was desperate for love,(6/8)

hugo was desperate for some sort of parental figure, and rushes back, insert evil monologue by donella here. The rest of the movie pretty much plays out as b4: varian is captured, donella continues playing good guy, hugo gets out of the locked library, slowly freezing as he makes his way across the fjord insert art by mom, love heals, parents are finally free, gates are open roll credits. This is honestly something ive been thinking about all day and this au now lives in my mind rent free.(7/8)

I know there are plot holes and missing elements, but this is what i have so far, i lowkey love it, and if u have any questions pls ask, i wanna elaborate this au as much as possible and questions will help and pls tag mom i want her to c this. Sorry if this is too long i just have a lot of thoughts. And oh my goodness that means so much that you've gotten invested tysm(8/8) -💙

Response under cut

Okay, first off oh my heart, I need this movie now akfjakfja (and tagging @cinn-a-mom too ‘cause bless)

So lil Varian is the partial cause of the encasement, right? ‘Cause oh gosh, this poor kid being so enthused by alchemy and now has powers and all of that building up to encasing his parents?? Someone give him a hug 🥺🥺 (and omigosh if this does end up being where Hugo is somehow adopted into the family, just ohhhhh, him coming in at that moment is just *tears*)

And ohhhhh, I love how you slightly changed it to, if I understood right, Varian requesting that the trolls take away Hugo’s memories of his powers - ‘cause this kid is just wanting to help and Varian is scared and worried of hurting him, so he sees this as an option to protect him. (And ohhh, while the angst of him accidentally hurting Hugo with his powers is definitely wonderful, now I’m just imagining smol Varian going to the trolls and pleading for them to help and then coming to the decision to take away Hugo’s memories. Like OH MY HEART-)

And ohhh, I don’t think it’d play such a big part in the story, but as they’re both growing up, who’s acting regent at the moment? Or at least I’m just musing how things would be as they’re growing up since they were kids when Quirin and Ulla were encased (and if you don’t have any thoughts for it yet, that’s totally cool 🤗)

Ajfkakfjka Donella posing as a foreign dignitary to find the ‘magical prince’ to study is ahhhhhhhh- And then Hugo being drawn to her as the mother figure he’d always wanted and lacked for so long????? Lemme just

*sobs*

(Ajfkakdj Varian is SUCH A DORK OMIGOSH I LOVE HIM)

And omigosh, the whole dynamics between Belle and Hugo would be hilarious (“Shut up Belle” while she’s laughing yessss) Also snow/ice Ruddiger is absolutely adorable ahhhhh!

Hnnnnnngggg First Time I’m Forever Reprise and Hugo believing that Donella could break the spell (and ahhhhhh, I can just barely imagine how that monologue would go down - how she was never there for him, why would anyone want him - oh gosh, insert “More Than Just the Spare” ‘cause that’s literally how he’s feeling ahhhh - aldjgjlad even more so especially if he was adopted/taken in because he’ll feel even more isolated after all of this had happened, which is another reason why he was drawn to Donella in the first place)

And then cue Cinn’s art where Hugo sacrifices himself for Varian and we’re here to see all of the tears and sobbing and feels akfjakfjaj

BUT OMIGOSH I FREAKING LOVE THIS - Varian and all of his issues in confidence and his struggle to overcome it, Hugo and his issues in wanting to feel loved from having been pushed away for so long, you mentioned Belle was hardened so I’m excited to see her soften up ajfkakdj, and then DONELLA HECK YEAH - I was not expecting the route you took but I love it so much that it gave me chills ahhhhhh.

Wonder how Quirin and Ulla react to all of this once they get out ‘cause they’ve all grown so much and their kingdom as well

I freaking love this AU and the angst lord in me, while quite enjoying the soft and the fluff, is grinning quite malevolently at the angsty scenes hehehehehe, but seriously, this is AWESOME 😱

EXO Reaction: having a crush on you, but then finding out you are secretly dating another member (request)

II feel like I got too into this whole thing for everyone. I ain’t sorry though, it was fun writing this. 

Sorry for any errors.

Xiumin/Minseok:

“Let’s take a break dude.” Kai huffed.

“What? Another break? We just had one an hour ago.”

“C’mon hyung. I’m tired.” Kai pouted.

“Aish, fine but after this break we have to be serious about getting these moves down so we can break it down for the guys”

“I know.” the younger one groaned.

Xiumin threw himself on the bench, looking at his phone to find a text from y/n telling him to have a nice practice. He smiled to himself. He got butterflies in his stomach just reading her text.

“Hehehehe” Kai giggled as all his attention went to his phone.

“What are you laughing about?” he asked. His question went unanswered because all he was focusing on was the phone.

Curiosity got the best of him, and he went behind Kai to peek over his shoulder.”What are you laughing at, a meme?” but as he took a peek he noticed it was a text conversation.

“Fuck!” Kai jumped up and stepped away from him.He even hid his phone behind his back.

Based on that weird reaction, he really wanted to know who he was texting. “Who were you talking to?”

“No one.”

“No one? You don’t giggle at a text from just no one.”

“Okay, someone but i’m not saying who!” he said showing his phone in his pocket.

“Jongin, how long have we known each other?”

“ike practically half our lives.”

“Exactly, so you can tell me. If you don’t trust m then who can you trust?”

“Well, Kyungsoo, Taemin, Junmyeon- with some stuff, not everything-”

“Whatever! Just tell me who you were texting. the only time i ever saw you look at your phone like that was when you were with krystal.”

Kai’s eyes scattered all over. “Krystal and I are over, so it isn’t her.”

“So who is it?!? Dude you can’t jut not tell me!”

“No! She doesn’t want anyone to know we are dating!”

“So she’s your girlfriend?!?”

“I didn’t say that!” he blurted out nervously.

“You just did!”

“N-no i didn’t!”

They both knew he was caught and Xiumin knew exactly what to do t get the information out. “Oh… Ok, how about this? One piece of information for another. You tell me who you are dating… And I’ll tell you who my crush is.”

Kai’s eyes widened “So you’ll actually tell me who you mystery crush is?!?”

“Yup”

“O-ok, but you’l have to promise to not tell the guys. She and I want to everyone about it later. A-an you can’t let her know that you know that she and I are dating.”

“Deal”

“Ok so on 3 we say the names at the same time?”

“Yeah?

“Ok… 1 “

“2 “

“ 3 “

“Y/n!” Y/n!” they both said at the same time. “What?!? You like her?!?” “What?!? you are dating her?!?”

“Dude, i’ve had a crush on her for months!” Xiumin couldn’t help but be upset.

“And I’ve liked her for a year! She was the reason Krystal and I broke up!” 

“What the fuck?!? Haven’t you noticed that i hit on her every time she comes over?!?”

“No! I just thought you were being friendly! But she is mine now so don’t talk to her like that anymore!”

Hearing him refer to y/n as “his” made his blood boil. “You know what?!? Practice over!” he shouted as he stomped out of the room. He didn’t want to even look at his maknae. He refused to believe that he and y/n were actually dating.

Suho/ Junmyeon:

“Junmyeon, I’m sorry, but i have to end our skype chat early.” Y/n pouted.

“Aw, why?”

“I’m going out with friends tonight and I’m getting picked up in a bit.”

“But we were having so much fun, we have’t talked in forever.” he whined.

“I know, I know, but he is going to be here any second and i want to make sure i am ready.”

Immediately he jumped up in his seat. “He? He who?!? You don’t have any guy friends besides me and EXO!” He didn’t want her to be going out on a date. He always liked y/n, and planned to ask her out at the right time. He hoped he didn’t miss his chance. It’s not a date is it?” he tried to say casually.

“D-date? Pft! N-no! It’s not a date. It’s- It’s- He’s just a frined and he’s picking us all up. Yeah, so i got to go now, bye!” She said before she ended the chat.

“Aish, I hope it isn’t a date…”

“Junmyeon” he heard through the door before Chen poked his head in the room.

“What do you want Jongdae?” He groaned. The last thing he wanted was to talk to anyone else.

“SO uh, bro.” Chen whispered as he closed the door behind him.”You got condoms?” he whispered lower, despite the fact they were the only two in the room.

He slapped his hands over his face. “Bruh, you got to be kidding me! We just had a damn meeting going over the dating rules again.” A leader’s duties never ended, especially in the moments he wanted to be alone. “”And here you are asking me for condoms!”

“C’mon, don’t be such a mom!”

“It’s not a one night stand is it? You know how risky those are!”

“Yeah, i know! That’s why it isn’t a one night stand!”

“Oh so  you’re dating someone then?”

“Yeah, I am! I’m allowed to date!”

“But you got to be careful who you date! You can’t just go out with anyone! They could reveal everything!”

“No shit! I’m not stupid! I’m not dating some random girl okay?”

Suho couldn’t help but scoff. Considering their schedule’s they all didn’t have much contact with many trustworthy people. “And who could you possibly be dating that is that trustworthy?”

“Look it’s Y/n alright! We are all friends with her and we all know that we can trust her about anything! So is this interrogation over already?”

“Y/n? You’re dating y/n?!?” He couldn’t help but feel a sense of betrayal . “How could she not tell me? How long has this been going on? What does she possibly see in him?What does he have that I don’t?”

“Look, you got condoms or not? Y/n;s waiting for me to pick her up!”

“No I don’t” he said through his teeth.

“Fucking waste of my time.” Chen grrumbled as he walked out of the room.

Lay/ Yixing:

Yixing was excited to say the least to be returning from China. Sure it was hard to leave his country again, but coming back to Korea meant coming back to Y/n.

The night before he and her stayed up talking on skype almost the whole night. they both agreed to spend the whole day together when he got back, just the two of them.

Yixing had been harboring a crush on Y/n and did not dare reveal it to anyone. With all his soul, he wanted to tell her, but he was busy enough as is and most of all, the last thing he wanted to do was ruin the friendship they had. What they had now was enough for him. He wasn’t even going to think about considering his confession until his schedule ever lightened up.

-

Today was the day that he was going to hangout with y/n. She knew drill, dressing in the least flashy clothes, but somehow she still looked so beautiful in her drab disguise. 

The morning was filled with breakfast, walking through the mall in sunglasses and a scarf despite being indoors, and blabbing away about anything and everything.

Now it was the late noon and they found themselves through the park. Every so often his hand “accidentally” bumped his hand into hers and enjoyed the tiny bit of physical contact and relished in the fact that she did not seem bothered by it or move away from him.

“So what else happened when i was gone?” he asked to keep the conversation going.

“Well… something did happen… but i don’t know if i can tell you.” she said looking down at the ground to avoid his gaze

“What happened?”

“Well… I came to a realization.” she smiled shyly.

“Realization? What kind of realization?” he let out a chuckle at her cute shyness.

“You know… One of those realizations where you… where you like realize you have feelings for someone.”

Instanly his palms were sweaty. “F-feelings? F-for who?” his heart raced. He felt like his chest was going to explode.

“… I realized I like Chanyeol, so I confessed and it turns out he likes me back and now we are dating!” she squealed.

And just like that, his soul left his body and he felt he was going to drop to the ground. “Ch-ch-chanyeol? You li-like Chanyeol?”

“Yeah! And I just had to tell someone cuz i can’t keep it a secret anymore.’ she beamed.

He stayed quiet, the horrible news sinking into his mind. “So… Chanyeol…”

“Yeah” she smiled brightly. “But don’t tell anyone. Wee still want to keep it a secret… I just couldn’t hide it from you, you are my best friend Yixing.”

“Yeah… Best friend.” he sighed

Baekhyun:

He and Y/n were at her place having yet another on of their infamous movie marathons. He loved their movie marathons. It was never really about watching movies, it was more about them being as stupid as they wanted with each other and not being judged by others.

Right now, the movie Madagascar was playing, but Baekhyun was busy laying on the floor, trying not to laugh as Y/n was placing candies and snacks on his face to make a “food mask”. He had his eyes closed, two gummies atop of them. He giggled as more things were piled on.

“Baek, don’t laugh! You are making all the chips slide off!” Y/n whined.

“I have to!” he tried to say while keeping his face as still as possible.

“Baek, shhh!” she nagged

He tried his best not to move, but when Y/n shoved cheese balls up his nose, he couldn’t just not laugh. “Y/n why?!?” he cackled, removing the food from his face.

“Baek, why did you laugh??” she smirked teasingly.

“You knew that tickled and that I was going to laugh!”

“You should have kept yourself from laughing. I was working on a masterpiece.”

“Y/n, it was impossible not to laugh.”

“It cant be that hard.”

“You think so?” he asked with a smirk. That’s when he pounced. He tickled her sides, making her explode in laughter.

“HA BAEK HAHAHA I’M HA GOING TO HAHA GET YOU BACK!”

“I’d like to see you try!” he said to soon. 

Y/n magically pushed him off and now she was the one on top of him. “Take this!” she shouted as she tickled him.

“HAHAHA NOT COOL!”

He grabbed her hands, not letting them close to his body. With some magic of is own, he got back on top of her.

“HAHAHA BAEK!” she laughed in his ear. her laugh was loud, but it was a beautiful laugh, it was music to his ears. “HAHA I GIVE UP!”

“What?” he asked still staying on top of her. 

“I give up! You win!” she said trying to catch her breath

She looked so pretty looking up at him the way he was. Her eyes in combination with her lips, that was what always caught his attention. He liked y/n for a long tie, but it wasn’t until now that he wanted to do something about it. “I’m sorry, what was that? I can’t heat you.” he teased leaning closer to her.

“I said you-”

His lips stopped hers and he finally kissed her like he always daydreamed about. However, unlike his daydreams, Y/n pushed him off. 

“Baek…” she looked back at him with shock.

“Sorry” he said as he backed away from her a bit. “I’ve just liked you for a while- I just - I just… I don’t know.” he could feel his face burning. It didn’t help that she was looking back at him with such an intense frown.

“Baek, I have a boyfriend.”

“What? Boyfriend?!? When? You never told me!” He could feel his inside churning.

She looked away from him. “I’m dating Sehun. We’ve been secretly dating the last 3 months.” her voice was so soft, she was barely audible.

“Sehun?!? Sehun… Um… I’m just gonna leave now.” his voice cracked. He couldn’t get himself to look in her direction as he walked to the door.

“Baek, you don’t have to leave. We can just-”

“Bye” he said as he closed her door.

“How could I have been so stupid?!?” he thought to himself. “Of course she doesn’t like me! What made me think that she could actually like me?!? I should have known she wouldn’t like me back! Agh, I’m so stupid!”

Chen/ Jongdae:

It was a wonderful night at the dorm. Almost all of the members were over, but so was y/n. Chanyeol had invited her and she actually had time to come by.

She just arrived and was sitting with Chanyeol on the couch. “Hey Y/n.” he smiled. he went over and sat at her other side. “Oh Chanyeol, Kyungsoo is calling you.”

“He is?” Chanyeol raised his brows at him. “I’ll be back y/n this shouldn’t take long.” Chanyeol said as he left the room.

“So you want some popcorn?” he offered. 

“Ha I hadn’t even said hi back yet and you are already offering me snacks?” 

“Well I mean, they were already finished when you got here.”

“Wow, and here I was feeling so special” he laughed

“C’mon, we made some of your favorite stuff, so you should still feel special.” he said leading her to the kitchen.

“Haha, thanks” she giggled shyly. all cute just like every time he threw a compliment at her. “You know, you look extra pretty today… Doing that for a certain someone?” he winked

“Jongdae, what do you mean?” She covered her smile with her hand. “I look like I always do.”

“Nah, I notice you using just a bit more makeup. I don’t know why though. you are just as pretty without it.”

“Jongdae stop, my face is burning.”

“What? I’m just saying the truth!” He tried to give his best smile. At this point he had been subtly flirting with for months and now he was just wanting for her to take him more seriously.

“And I don’t believe you about your face being hot.”

“Trust me, it is!” she insisted.

“Hm.. Let me see.”

He went up t her and cupped her face, making sure to make eye contact. “Oh wow. You’re right, your face is on fire.” he smirked. “You’re hot.”

Suddenly someone cleared their throat and Chen jumped at the sound. He quickly turned around to see D.O and Chanyeol standing at the kitchen doorway.

“Are we interrupting something?” D.O’s eyes switched between Chen and Y/n.

“No, we were just talking.” he said calmly.

“Let’s get started on eating!” Chanyeol declared passing plates and cups to everyone.

They all surrounded the kitchen island and loaded their plates with snacks. Chen was talking to Chanyeol, drowning out the sound of D.O and y/n’s conversation until D.O said something that caught his attention. 

“Babe, can you grab me a spoon?”D.O asked as he pour chips on his plate.

‘Sure!” Y/n said and without hesitation, grabbed a spoon out of the drawer and gave it to him.

“Thanks.” D.O said.

This completely threw Chen off and he cut off Chanyeol’s sentence  with  “Woah, wait! What did you just call her?”

Immediately the froze. “What? I didn’t call her anything!” D.O’s voice was suddenly nervous.

“Yeah you called her “babe”. I just heard you!”

Y/n looked panicked. “No he didn’t. He- he only called me y/n.”

“I’m siding with Jongdae” Chanyeol spoke up. “Kyungsoo, you just called Y/n, babe.”

“So what’s going on here?!?” Chen was tired off all the pointless talk, he wanted to know if he really heard what he just heard, because it couldn’t be really, it just couldn’t.

D.O and Y/n exchanged looks. “We are dating! There! Now you know!”  D.O said

Now Chen really couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Dating? Since when?!? You guys barely talk to each other! I talk to /n way more that you do!”

““We talk in secret stupid! We didn’t want anyone to know!” D.O snapped.

“We wanted to tell you guys, we really did, but we didn’t want to make things weird when we were all together.” Y/n explained.

“But it’s not like it should matter that we are dating. What y/n and I do is just between y/n and I” D.O added.

Chen clenched his jaw. “You’re right…It doesn’t who is dating who.” he forced himself to say. Seeing y/n so nervous about the whole reveal, he just decided to end the topic. “It’s not like I had a crush on her or anything.” he mumbled to himself.

Chanyeol:

Dorm parties were always fun, especially when y/n was able to show up. With their crazy schedule, he barely had time to see her, but when she was able to see them all, she spent most of her time with him.

Now more than ever he wanted to hang out with her. It had been months since she was over and it was in this time that he realized he hated not having her around. He missed her. He missed her cute face an adorable laugh, and beautiful eyes. He just wanted time to go faster so he could see her again.

“Junmyeon, you did invite y/n right? Cuz if not, i can give her a call.” He said poking his head into his leader’s room.

“Uh… Yeah, we walked a bit, she’s coming don’t worry.” he swirled around in his desk chair to go back to what he was doing on his computer.

“But you sure though?”

“Yes Chanyeol, I’m sure.” he said in his mom tone.

“…I’ll text her just in case.”

“Fine i guess.” Suho huffed.

He sent a text, getting a confirmation right away that she would be getting to the dorm at around 7pm.

He had a good two hours before she would be over, so he took his time getting ready and making sure he looked as good as he could.

7pm rolled by and Y/n arrived right on the dot. He was lucky enough to be the one to open the door for her. He greeted her with a smile an a bear hug. 

“Hi Channie!”

“Finally i get to see you again!”

“Where is everyone else?” she asked looking into the packed dorm.

“You know, around. You want to go to my room?”

“Not yet, let me eat first. Plus, i need to find Junmyeon and talk to him about something.”

“Oh, he’s probably fixing his hair in his room again. Why don’t i get your plate together while you go talk to him?”

“Yeah, ok sure! Thanks Channie!”  she then swirled around and went off in search of Suho, greeting the other members as she cut through the crowd.

“The sooner she finished talking to him, the sooner i spend time with her.” he thought as he put her plate together. he made sure to get  all her favorite snacks . “Ok, now to find her!”

Thankful fr his tall frame, he looked over everyone in the crowd to spot her. “… not here.” he moved down the hall. “excuse me… excuse me… excuse me…” he said as he tried to go down the hall, holding the plate above everyone’s heads.

He went to his roo,m ,hoping she was waiting for him in there. “Nope, not here.”

He made his way back in the hall, and went to Suho’s room. “She is probably still talking to him.”

Without knocking, he opened Suho’s door and walked in on something that stopped his heart. Suho’s lips on Y/n’s, Y/n’s lips on Suho’s, his hands going down her wait. Chanyeol’s mind couldn’t comprehend.

“Thankfully” they jumped away from each other. “It’s not what it looks like!” Suho said right away.

“Not what it looks like?!?” he couldn’t help but be angry.

“Channie, don’t tell anyone please? We’ve been trying to keep this a secret.” Y/n whimpered.

His eyes stung., his vision soon became blurry and a lump formed in his throat. “Secret?” He looked between the two of them and then threw the plate of food on Suho’s night stand before slamming the door shut. He couldn’t handle what he just saw, not them , not the people at the party, not anything.He needed to go outside and get some air and just be alone with his aching heart.

D.O/ Kyungsoo:

They sat on either side of the couch, their legs under the blanket they were sharing.

He never knew what it was about crush that made a person look at the one they liked constantly, but right now he found him self doing just that. Y/n looked so cozy unnder thefluffy blanket, so ccalm as she read the book on her lap. Her hair was so pretty, her lips so perfect, well everything about her was perfect. 

He wanted nothing more than to profess his feelings for her, but each time in the past, he backed out becuase he is too scared of rejection. Right now he felt it would be a god time to finally tell her. They were the only ones inn the dorm and they were just having a nice time in each others company

“Y/n, I need to tell you something.” he said softly.

She looked up at him with those beautiful eyes of hers and he just froze.

“What’s up?”

“I- I - uh”

“Cat got your tongue or what?” she laughed 

Her smile made it even harder to get a word out and there was nothing else to do but to give up again. “Nothing… I just wanted to say that… that i wanted to make your meal for your birthday party next week!”

Her smile grew. “Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Kyungsoo, thank you!” she jumped up from her spot and went up to him to hug him.

1 week later

He had spent the whole day perfecting y/n’s favorite meal, enough for at least he, the rest of EXO, and y/n of course. Baking the cake was probably the easiest part of the whole day. He just wanted everything to go according to plan. He was going to actually confess to y/n. Plan A was that she was going to love the food, spend most of the night with him like she always does when she is over, enjoy her cake, then he was going to take her onto the roof, look out on the city and confess in the middle of their deep conversation.

However, things weren’t going exactly how he expected. throughout the party, y/v was with everyone else, mostly Baekhyun. He was really stealing her attention with his stupid antics. Only every so often would she talk to Kyungsoo. It sucked he didn’t talk to her as much as he wanted, but she looked like she was having fun, so that was what mattered. Also he used the time to go over exactly what he was going to say to her

“Guys, guys… Hey everyone!” Suho practically shouted. “Time for cake!”

“Cake!” Baekhyun cheered. he grabbed y/n’s hand and they both ran into the kitchen laughing with everyone else.

D.O stood by his cake with pride. He loved seeing y/n’s shocked face when she saw her cake. 

“Kyungsoo, this is amazing! Thank you!” she said, giving him a peck on the cheek.

He could feel himself melt but he held himself together as Y/n blew out her candles. 

It was now it was almost time that he was about to pull her to the side and reveal her feelings.

“Yay!” everyone cheered as they attacked the cake. 

“Guys! Guys!” Baekhyun stopped everyone just asthey were about to eat.

“What could he possibly want to say?” D.O thought.

Baekhyun, cleared his throat. “Uh… um” he walked over to Y/n  “So y/n and i have something to say.’ that’s when D.O saw Baekhyun intertwine his finger’s with y/n’s “…We’ve been dating for two months already!” 

“What?!?” the word just jumped out of him. Luckily for him, his rage came out as shock and it only made Y/n smile shyly. 

“We didn’t want to jinx anything by telling everyone right away, so we dated in secret first to see if we could last.” she explained.

D.O could feel his insides dropping to the floor. He felt light headed noting made sense. all he could do was slap a fake smile on his face as everyone cheered.

Kai/ Jongin:

It was finally time for the lunch break during dance practice when the beautiful Y/n appeared.

“Hey guys!’‘ She beamed as they all crowded around her in excitement.

Y/n was originally Tao’s best friend, eventually befriending them all. With Tao not apart of the group anymore, Y/n mostly hung out with the remaining members of EXO-M. So obviously she greeted Lay, Xiumin, and Chen with a hug, then hugging a few of the other members she was a bit more close to. 

Kai held himself back like he always did. He just stayed behind D.O and gave her a shy wave like some idiot. 

Y/n wasn’t by often. She had her own friends, her own life, plus their own schedules were crazy. He and Y/n didn’t really talk much, they weren’t too close. He would try to talk to her and she would try to talk to him, but in the few time they did interact, he would get tongue tied and come off as word, but not a good weird like Baekhyun or Chen. But he knew alot about her from what the other members have said about her and from eavesdropping on her conversations with the other members. He might not have been close to her (because of his own fault), but he had a really big crush on her and he couldn’t get past it.

“Guys, I haven’t seen you all in forever!” he smiled that perfect smile that always made his heart skip a beat.

“So i have some news to tell you guys, but I won’t tell you guys until after I buy you all lunch!” she offered.

“Y/n, no, you don’t have to buy us all lunch.” Lay said walking up to her. 

“Yeah, you don’t have to” they all said.

Yixing, guys, it’s fine. I am just in a really good mood today, so let me get you all something from that new cafe around the corner. How does that sound? Cuz I’m not taking no for an answer.” she said through her smile.

“Yay!” they all cheered awkwardly.

“So who wants to come with me and help me carry everything?” Finally a chance for him to not be a coward and actually talk to her. 

“I will.” “I will!” he and Lay said at the same time.

They both looked at each other. “Jongin, you don’t have to. You practiced really hard today so you should have a nice rest.”

‘Nah Yixing, I’m not tired at all. Plus, you just got back a few days ago , you should rest instead.”

“No, it’s okay-”

“Yixing, don’t worry about it. Jongin, made a good point, just sit down and rest.” Y/n said.

Lay sat back down.

“Oh shit! What did i just make myself do?!?” he thought. “Now I am going to be alone iwth her for like 15 minutes! What am i going to say?!?” he panicked as they walked out of the studio.

“So how have you been?” he asked first. “We haven’t seen you in a while.”

“Oh, you know, here and there, skyping Tao, fangirling over him and you guys constantly.” 

He let out a nervous chuckle. “ And how is Tao?”

“He’s good. He misses you guys.” She said as she opened the door to the cafe.

“Upon entering the building, he lifted up his face mask, making a sad attempts to keep people from recognizing him in the crowded area and pushed his hair into his beanie.

Y/n learned a thing or to about the unspoken rules, so she knew that they wouldn’t be talking while they were in the cafe. 

The orders didn’t take long. And they were son walking out with arm fulls of food.

“So I heard you and Krystal broke up… How are you taking it?” Y/n said in a soft voice.

He only shrugged. “Things weren’t working out, schedules and all that.” that was only partially the reason. The other reason was his crush for y/n. He felt bad that his crush kept him from focusing on Krystal. It didn’t seem fair to date someone if his whole heart wasn’t in it. 

“Ah, sorry to hear that.”

“Eh, its alright, I kinda moved on. I like someone else now.” Instantly he shut his mouth. “Did I really just say that?!?” he thought.

“Well that’s good! Who do you like? Do I know her?!?” she asked eagerly.

He just shook is head shyly.

“Are you goinng to confess to her?”

Again he shook his head.

“Jongin, you should! You’re a catch!”

He could feel his face burning.

“You should tell her… You know I had a huge crush on someone and I finally confessed.”

He stopped walking, “What?”

She stopped with him, a huge smile on her face. “And we are dating right now!” she squealed

“Wa? Who are you dating? Do we knnow him?”

She came cup close. “Yixing!” she whispered.

“Yixing?”

“Yeah! That’s why I dropped by! We are going to tell everyone, but act surprised when we announce it!”

“Y-yeah, no problem.” he mumbled

“Thanks! And, take my advice Jongin. It might work out of you put yoursefl out there.”

“…Yeah …” He fake smiled. “…Yeah…. Should have thought about doinng that sooner.” he said to himself.

Sehun:

“So that’s what I want to do with my life I guess…” Y/n concluded.

“Well that’s interesting. Knowing you, I am sure you will accomplish all that.” he smiled genuinely. 

He looked over to the end of his bed where Y/n sat. Y/n was a great person, a great friend. He was sick and the second she found out, Y/n rushed over to take care of him. She was a great friend, but was someone that he wanted as more than a friend. Lately she had been over at the dorm alot more often and her coming over just to look after him, he couldn’t help but feel maybe she had similar feelings for him. 

“But I’ve been talking way too much. You talk Sehun.”

“I don’t mind. I like hearing you talk.” He was too sick to talk in a full voice.

“You’re too nice” she giggled.

He shrugged like it was no big deal. “Yeah, I get that alot.” 

“And you’re humble too.” she added sarcastically.

“So what is your type of guy?” he asked “randomly.

“What? Why are you asking me that?” her eyes shifted all over.

“I don’t know, just to keep the conversation going.”

“Well, what is your type?”

““I asked you first.”

“And I asked you second!” 

He let out a chuckle, smitten by her childishness. “I can’t say I have a real type.”

“Or are you really not interesting in girls?” she asked teasingly. 

“Hey, I said my type is no type, so now you tell me your’e type.”

“No”

“C’mon! Now can you tell a sick person no?”

“…I … Well I can’t really have a type of i am already dating.”

“Wait what?”

“Cu i feel “what is your type” is a question you ask a single person that is looking for someone to date… I am not looking for someone to date.”

“But who are you dating!?!? When did you start dating someone?!?”

“Don’t freak out okay? I am only going to tell you this cuz you are my best friend… and i can;t keep it in anymore… but don’t tell anyone!”

Y/n took his silence ans his intense eye contact s a yes. “ So about a few weeks ago… Xiumin confessed to me and I have liked him forever and I said yes and we’ve been dating ever since!” she squealed.

“Xiumin?!?” he coughed.

“Yeah! He’s so hot and mature, but also cute and-” she babbled on and on as she gushed over his hyung. Every word was a stab to his heart and all he could do was sit back and let her talk, sad that she was smiling about someone that wasn’t him.

[quasarsturncoat]

DORIAN: -The Red Comet is a pretty comfy place, all things considered. It's not big like the UU, but it comes with the promise of adventure, and that's a lot more exciting, in the end. They should be touching down pretty soon, so he's munching on a banana and poring over a the vague map they've got to work with -- very little is explored, and he's got to mark the relevant destinations and landmarks that they do know of. It's a pretty thrilling prospect to chart out more of this land, especially since it promises a somewhat funky biome. The reason it hadn't been explored much before now was largely due to some of its strange animal residents that made travel a challenge -- particularly a certain large land-dwelling goatlike creature that tended to live in groups and drove most explorers out. Luckily, Dorian is an expert on weird animals, and this is right up his alley. He did plenty of research based on what they knew about the big ol' goats beforehand, and he has at least a few ideas of how to get around that problem.-

DORIAN: hey siri did we bring peanut butter?? -he loves the stuff despite a few of his family member's allergies... he likes to eat it where they can't gaze on jealously.-

SIRIUS: =Red Comet was on autopilot for now. When both terrain and weather were clear, Sirius felt comfortable enough to leave the cabin and settle in the small room off to the right. The hum of Red Comet's engines were not the low rumble of the UU's, but it provided an excellent background noise that brought her comfort. They had plenty of charge left from the solar panels and she ensured that she'd filled the reserve fuel tank before departing Lauctis's docks where the UU had also taken rest. Sirius was across from Dorian, seated at the the small community dining table/desk and idly tapping her chin with a pen. She had a field journal out where previous photographs taken of the area were spread about in a concentrated semicircle around her. She was taking the time to write down some more notes before they touched ground. Her camera gear was all packed up and ready in her sylladex, and if they happened to meet this goatlike creature, there was this "Caprinae Repellent" a shady troll sold them at a kiosk. She had faith in Dorian's abilities and knowhow, though, and if all else failed, they had the legs to run out of there like no tomorrow!=

SIRIUS: =When he spoke, Sirius lifted her head and smiled broadly.=

SIRIUS: (yeah i remember that was on our shopping list before we left)

SIRIUS: (lemme see) =she got up and began rummaging around in the cabinets of her small kitchen= (im pretty sure we got it)

SIRIUS: (i personally checked it off the list so it should be here somewhere)

SIRIUS: (oh)

SIRIUS: (here it is) =!=

SIRIUS: =She grabbed a tablespoon (what else would you grab for peanut butter?) and held it up to him, waiting for him to take it before she uncapped the peanut butter and slid it across the table to him. It had yet to be opened, and the seal was still intact, waiting for someone to rip it open and feast upon the contents.=

SIRIUS: (it was hiding next to the other condiments) = :)

DORIAN: -YES. THE BIG SPOON. She read his mind. He grabs that pretty quick before scooping up the jar, too, grinning as he flips the spoon over to use the handle end to poke a hole into the seal.-

DORIAN: that sassy bastard. it thought it could outsmart me for the first and last time. -peels the seal back, checking the underside of it just in case, but it's pretty clean. Ahh, there's nothing like the sight of the smooth, untouched surface of a fresh jar of peanut butter. TIME TO RUIN IT FOREVER. He scoops a frankly ludicrous amount onto this spoon, just so he doesn't have to double dip and get his slobber all in it. He can be courteous sometimes!-

DORIAN: -Tiny, delicate nom.- sho i wash wondering.

DORIAN: have you ever gone shpelunking on any of your-- -swallows- --adventures?

DORIAN: not gonna lie. part of me just wanted to say spelunking just now.

SIRIUS: =Takes her own spoon, but only scrapes about half her spoons worth=

SIRIUS: (actually yes)

SIRIUS: (well sort of)

SIRIUS: (i was telling durgah just the other day about it)

SIRIUS: (it was an underground cave system that had a whole forest down there with even a river running through it)

SIRIUS: (the flora was so different than the ones above ground cause i mean)

SIRIUS: (who knew when the last time any of that even saw the sun)

SIRIUS: (i didnt get that far though cause no climbing rope)

SIRIUS: (that and i had to leave the planet like the next day because the weather on ochandrues is crazy)

SIRIUS: (the lightning storms are pretty though)

SIRIUS: (you can see them from space)

SIRIUS: (look) =she cleared some of her pictures and brought out a sphere containing her digital star charts whereby turning it on, it lit up the room with its scattering of the universe. She pointed to a tiny yellow sparkle, where it zoomed in and showed a slow revolution of five planets around their star.= (here we are in the síocháin system)

SIRIUS: =and then she spread her fingers and it zoomed back out. She moved her hand across the lightyears until she selected a reddish sun. Seven planets were in this one, two of which were revolving around their star at what appeared to be breakneck speed.= (that particular planet is here in the pikkupaholainen system)

SIRIUS: =wiggles her finger at an orangish colored planet.= (ochandrues)

DORIAN: -He's already completely enraptured once she starts telling him the story, but somehow even more so once she brings up her star charts, his own eyes practically sparkling. Maybe from the reflected light, but also because he's a LITTLE BIT EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT. Space is just... so beautiful???-

DORIAN: wow........

DORIAN: man.

DORIAN: thats just so amazing. -He really sounds awed by it, and he is. It's a little more real, hearing a personal account about it, imagining that cavernous forest and any number of things that could have been blooming and thriving down there without the sun. Just incredible. He sniffs once.-

DORIAN: im sure as heck not letting us run out of climbing rope. i only brought a metric assload just so you know.

SIRIUS: (it is isnt it) =She settled her chin in her hands and watched the planets spin, sighing happily. Then Dorian's last statement caused a laugh to bubble up and she grinned= (good to be prepared for anything)

SIRIUS: (maybe one day you can see it too)

SIRIUS: (the best part was i didnt know that cave was there)

SIRIUS: (part of the ground gave out and i fell in)

SIRIUS: (i think sometimes)

SIRIUS: (forgotten places want to be found)

DORIAN: -That makes him grin, too. It's a nice thought, and an inspiring one, if nothing else.- or discovered. -Like they're going to do today. The mere thought of it again is enough to make him sit up a little more in his seat, a little too much energy in his bones.-

DORIAN: well i sure hope like they feel like it today anyway. or tomorrow. sometime at least within the month would be good.

DORIAN: just the thought of getting to fill out this map more is making me antsy!!! hahaha. its just so COOL. getting to do this.

DORIAN: -His gaze softens a little when he looks at her again, sincere.- im really glad im doing this with you. most of my stuff i always do by myself and i like... yeah it inspires me to try my hardest so i can figure things out without having to depend on someone and yada yada but its nice to have someone else around to like. experience something amazing with you and i really feel like thats what were gonna do.

DORIAN: so thank you for like. having me along for this ride. and sorry for getting all sappy on you out of nowhere hahaha!

SIRIUS: (it will give us more time to explore which would be really nice especially since the weather here wont kill us so easily) =The fauna might, though! She zoomed back out on the star maps, and there are blank areas which become more frequent the further out the soft light reaches in the room.=

SIRIUS: (hehehehe no its not sappy) =shakes her head= (i feel the same) =her smile reaches her eyes and her cheeks give off the teeniest of glows= (its not so common to find someone wholl give up a lot to see places far from home so thank you)

SIRIUS: (i really do appreciate you coming out here and seeing all this with me) =AND LEAVING YOUR LOVED ONES BEHIND. She "are you sure?"ed so many times. What she won't admit to him is that for all her adventures and travels, for how nice it was seeing things few had seen, it did get lonely from time to time.=

SIRIUS: (im glad youre here too you know) =she laughed a little and there was a slightly awkward pause before she just shoved her spoon of peanut butter in her mouth. Time to stop talking.=

DORIAN: well hey. its what i love too you know? you get that. -His soft smile shifts into a grin after a few moments of watching her with that spoon, and he stands up out of his seat.- DORIAN: well im done with this for now and we probably dont have much longer in here so why dont we spend our last free time fucking around??

DORIAN: -he stands up out of his seat, sticking his own spoon between his teeth like a makeshift rose and spin-shimmying a few times before offering her a hand... And also pulling the spoon back out and setting it on the table with the other.-

DORIAN: -Activate terrible French accent.- hon hon titty baguette... care to dance mademoiselle?

SIRIUS: =She watched him do this, staring for a bit before she was yanked out of this trance by her now peanut butter-less spoon falling out of her mouth and clattering to the table. She fumbled with it for a moment - fukcgin - and gently set it on a napkin before quickly capping the jar. Not wanting to leave him hanging for long, Sirius made a semi flustered noise, followed by a squeaky- =

SIRIUS: (sure er wait how do you say it)

SIRIUS: (oui oui monsieur mon ami) =Yes, that is exactly how to French, mister my friend. She pushed back in her chair and it slid easily across the Arabian rug. Fkjfalkfjkalf she'll just accept that hand now.=

DORIAN: -he just chuckles, pulling her closer once he's got her hand and taking her other while he's at it to guide her into a sway, stepping them around in circles.-

DORIAN: -he starts singing, but no linkin park or show tunes this time. It's something different.- oh we dont have much.

DORIAN: pocket full of holes aint got no luck.

DORIAN: one in every town weve been before.

DORIAN: stealing from the rich but giving more.

DORIAN: oh this is where the legend begins... whoaaa.

DORIAN: i think i know the ending for this,

DORIAN: and i know it cause...

DORIAN: we ride into the sunset like its the young west!

DORIAN: dont mind lover reach for the stars.

DORIAN: we make out like bandits dreaming of mansions!

DORIAN: every night youll sleep in my arms.

DORIAN: so darling ride ride ride like the wind.

DORIAN: and drive drive drive to forget.

DORIAN: our lives might depend on it... ride into the sunset.

SIRIUS: =Oh wow.. .this was different! She listens to the words as she sways with him, only faltering in the steps a little at first before figuring out the pattern. Following his steps, she relied on him to lead. Her smile is growing, and the glow returns again towards the tops of her cheeks under her eyes=

DORIAN: -Seeing her smile just makes him grin more, pulling her along in a more enthusiastic little sway as he hums. He's not used to literal glowing from most people, but she's special in that way, and it's nice that somehow he might have caused it.-

DORIAN: oh its all or not.

DORIAN: lovers on the run til we get caught.

DORIAN: making a getaway with everything we stole.

DORIAN: pistol on the draw lets start the show ohh oh oh oh.

DORIAN: cause this is where the legend begins... ohhhh.

DORIAN: i think i know the ending to this and i know it cau—

DORIAN: -There's a sudden shudder and groan in the ship that throws him a little off balance, and his first instinct is to pull Sirius closer, despite the fact that she is definitely not small enough for him to shelter. He'll be damned if he won't try anyway.-

DORIAN: ... so that was solar wind right.

SIRIUS: =Nice sea space legs, Dorian! The shudder makes her turn her head and her glow fizzled for the time being. She also hugged him back (cuz that was no mistaking it was a hug!), and pat him on the back.=

SIRIUS: (um)

SIRIUS: (maybe) =?? There was something about that noise, though...=

SIRIUS: (lets check it out)

SIRIUS: (to the cockpit) =?=

DORIAN: -TOTALLY JUST A NORMAL HUG. But he is definitely just a little suspicious, and normally he might not be so worried, but Sirius is here with him.- yeah.

DORIAN: -He shifts his hold so he's got one of her hands in his (just in case), and starts moving that way.- now would be a really shitty time for mothra not gonna lie.

SIRIUS: =she's worried because DORIAN is with her. What if he gets hurt?? That would be a NIGHTMARE=

SIRIUS: (well its)

SIRIUS: (plausible)

SIRIUS: (theres space mantas so i wouldnt count against it) =comforting smile! Though what she just said may be less than comforting=

SIRIUS: (but you dont need to worry about those)

SIRIUS: (theyre super gentle creatures who wouldnt hurt anything)

SIRIUS: (they even let me fly with them for a bit)

SIRIUS: (i think their pod was migrating)

SIRIUS: =there is aanother rumble followed by a sound that is clearly not mechanical. Also, it sounds quite large.=

SIRIUS: (though its)

SIRIUS: (not the season for them to go yet)

DORIAN: uhh... -He's holding her hand just a fraction tighter at the noise, brows creased. What gives? They're almost there...-

DORIAN: yeah that doesnt sound like any kind of manta. -With renewed determination, he practically pulls her over to the cockpit, not touching anything just yet. It's her ship, after all.-

SIRIUS: =slips into the pilot's seat as comfortably as though she was putting on a jacket.=

SIRIUS: (as much as it sounds like it wants to say hi im going to go ahead and not give it an answer if thats okay with you)

SIRIUS: =buckles in. Dorian should probs do the same thing=

DORIAN: im okay with that. -He pulls the safety harness and clicks it in place, glancing at her to grin again.- unless the answer is BYE FELICIA.

DORIAN: -Whatever this is, he's sure they can deal with it. Moreover, he feels sure Sirius can outfly it.-

SIRIUS: =Shit that makes her giggle, but she's also quickly turning off auto pilot and eases it into manual drive. There is another particularly loud clunk and ok no, Rammie just patched up the paint job, and no one insults Rammie's work like that!=

SIRIUS: =growling (it's probs the most UNaggressive growl lbr), Sirius increased the thrust and they zoomed forward, but not before another clunk. Gripping the wheel, she pulled down a video feed from above them which were of the rear cameras that acted pretty much like a land vehicle's rear and side mirrors. From it, they can both catch sight of some dark shadowy something move from the left side of the ship before disappearing below them.=

SIRIUS: =She stared open mouthed and squinting for a full three seconds, her brows furrowing. They were going pretty fast as they were, and it was keeping up with the ship. She'd never seen something like this before, and it was definitely bigger than any space manta.=

SIRIUS: (excuse my language)

SIRIUS: (but what the hell is that)

DORIAN: ... uhhhh...

DORIAN: -He doesn't know, but he's definitely borrowing this camera footage later. He's trying to think, flipping through a mental catalogue of possible things it could be. It was probably unlikely to be some kind of ghost, with as solid as it seemed, and without much out here to anchor it to something. It seemed a little too small -- and maybe a little too "normal" -- to be one of those... outer gods, or whatever. The thing was, there was a lot about space they didn't know about. But... he had heard rumors of some kind of force or entity that bore similarities to dark matter, or maybe that was dark matter. All the incidents had been hard to document, though, as they were just as mysteriously ending as they began. Well, this thing was definitely dark. Beyond that, though... He wasn't sure.-

DORIAN: not to be the unhelpful guy but your guess is about as good as mine... ive only got one idea and it doesnt do jack for us really!!

DORIAN: this better not be one of those bermuda triangle surprise black hole kind of things. that would REALLY ruin my—

DORIAN: -Another clunk against the ship, and suddenly the camera feed catches the thing ascending again, but higher, faster, moving ahead of them and its dark shape shifting a little too rapidly for him to be able to tell exactly what it was. What he could tell, though, was that there seemed to be some light radiating from its core, that was more difficult to make out the further it flew away. It looked like it was heading... toward this solar system's star.-

DORIAN: whats it doing...?

SIRIUS: =She watched at it flew over them, the angling of the glass panes giving them more than a great view of said shadowy something. She noticed the light, too, but would have thought it almost a trick of the light if her eyes hadn't been locked on it as they were.=

SIRIUS: (.....besides heading on a collision course with that star i have no clue)

SIRIUS: (at least its no longer rubbing up against us like godzillafied lei lei on steroids)

DORIAN: -He can't not snort at that imagery, but he's still a little absorbed in watching the thing head further away, closer and closer to the sun until he can barely see it anymore. They're almost to their destination, now... He shouldn't feel concern, but something about it is still intriguing. He wants to know more.-

DORIAN: wonder if well see it again...

SIRIUS: =she's squinting again, trying to peer past the sun's light, but there's no use. The creature is evidently gone.=

SIRIUS: (maybe) =she laughed a little nervously= (maybe not)

SIRIUS: (maybe it spared us because we didnt look tasty)

SIRIUS: (maybe its allergic to peanut butter and having our spoonful just now saved our lives) =she laughed again, brushing off that funny feeling that she might be forgetting something.=

SIRIUS: =thats okay through, because a chiming ding does it for her and she glanced back down at the dash. The noise had been to indicate the automatic switch to using actual fuel from the actual tanks which was so rarely done Sirius only used them for emergencies. Her eyes scanned the panels and she finally discovered that the solar energy reserves had been completely drained and the needle rested upon fucking EMPTY. They'd stopped at the last sun to charge the panels, and the trip only took up 40% of the recently obtained energy to get this far! She'd checked it herself! Her initial confusion is now transforming into shock as she stared agape at the dials.=

DORIAN: well thats just another thing in the universe allergic in that case... poor bastard. -shakes head.-

DORIAN: -The ding, though, that gets his attention too, and so does the look on Sirius' face.- what?? whats up?

DORIAN: is that...

DORIAN: the ding of the fuel? the fuel ding??

DORIAN: the dang fuel ding???

SIRIUS: (th-the ding was the ding of the-) =She's flapping her hand at the thing= (the sun thing) =SHE CANT EVEN WORDS RIGHT NOW=

SIRIUS: (it means the sun thing isnt making us go and the ding is for the fuel thing)

SIRIUS: =SHAKES HER HEAD. wow this is a mess= (were going on fuel and the thing dinged to let us know)

DORIAN: oh.

DORIAN: yeah ok i had a feeling that was the ding thing.

DORIAN: ....

DORIAN: what????

SIRIUS: (hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) =She lifts her hands and drags them down her face before holding them straight in front of her. Initiate Calm Sequence.=

SIRIUS: (we had more than sufficient solar energy to make it planetside but for some reason we dont have any anymore) =taps the dial. Maybe there's just been a mechanical malfunction. Spoilers: it isn't.=

SIRIUS: (were running on backup fuel)

SIRIUS: (which we barely have enough of to land)

SIRIUS: (so im wondering right now where the hell the rest of our crap went) =!=

SIRIUS: =says this all very calmly=

DORIAN: that is...

DORIAN: a really good thing to wonder!!!!!

DORIAN: and also.

DORIAN: uh.

DORIAN: ...

DORIAN: so.

DORIAN: uh this is just a theory.

DORIAN: but you remember that shadowy thing.

SIRIUS: (the same shadowy thing that was grinding up against us like a cheese grater to a mozzarella block)

DORIAN: yeah that thing exactly...

DORIAN: -SIGHS.-

DORIAN: if it messed something up permanently i am gonna be SO. PEEVED.

SIRIUS: (waitaminute)

SIRIUS: (are you saying that thing had something to do with the ding)

DORIAN: YEAH. THE DING THING!!!!

DORIAN: THE DING DANG FUCKING THING.

SIRIUS: (so what youre telling me is that ding-) =shakes her head= (i mean thing that blasted off to the sun ate our stored solar energy)

DORIAN: i guess????

DORIAN: i mean thats the only thing that makes sense right?

DORIAN: it had to have done SOMETHING.

DORIAN: -goddamn team rocket...-

SIRIUS: (...)

SIRIUS: =stares at the sun, then looks at her dashboard=

SIRIUS: (im gonna land us safe dont worry okay)

SIRIUS: =she's gone so long on solar power that she hadn't even bothered filling the fuel tanks. Theres a bit left, and it SHOULD be enough for them to land, but=

SIRIUS: =smiles at dorian!=

SIRIUS: (its gonna be okay)

DORIAN: ...

DORIAN: hehe.

DORIAN: yeah i know you will. -He just grins back at her, confident in that. If he could trust in anyone, it'd be a fellow traveler, and he believes in her.-

DORIAN: this is already some ride. all because we had to go and eat that damn peanut butter.

SIRIUS: =His lightheartedness makes her relax and she laughed at his final statement. Cracking her knuckles she guided her ship down through the atmosphere. Breaking through atmo was always a little bumpy - they felt it whenever the UU landed, but with a smaller ship it was far more evident.=

SIRIUS: =She landed on a deep green hill with barely any fuel to spare. The alert light that indicated depletion flickered on and Sirius placed a hand over it.=

SIRIUS: (shhhhhh)

SIRIUS: =After pressing the required buttons to spread the solar panel wings for a recharge, Sirius cut the engines and slumped in her chair, spluttering a long exhale.=

SIRIUS: (so)

SIRIUS: (that happened)

DORIAN: -He's only just a little bit tense as Sirius brings in the ship for a landing, but he won't let her see that. He's still pretty sure it'll be fine, but there's still the matter of what could possibly be on the surface of the planet, too, and everything that's destined to be ahead of them. He just laughs once they're finally settled, unbuckling and hopping out of his seat.-

DORIAN: WHEW.

DORIAN: it sure did. and you nailed it as expected.

DORIAN: didnt think things would get exciting THAT early. makes me wonder where the rest of this adventure is heading... DORIAN: AND THEN SUDDENLY THE PLANET EXPLODED.

DORIAN: -yeah like that would ever happen hahahaha-

DORIAN: -snrks- want me to grab up the... maps? -glances back at the scattered papers-

SIRIUS: =She's super glad Dorian seems okay, especially mentally. She liked to plan things out as much as possible, but with trips to various other planets she ended up throwing out the itinerary for the use it gave her. Even so, she didn't expect this from a star system that was supposed to be relatively GENTLE. HHHHHHHHH.=

SIRIUS: =She blushed at the compliment and spluttered a little, looking away slightly embarrassed.= (hhhhh.... thank you) =but she smiles=

SIRIUS: =The only thing Terezi went fuzzy on war details was how the couple empty spaces in her starcharts happened to get there.= (hehehehe if it does explode hopefully were long gone by that time)

SIRIUS: (yeah grab em please) =she untangled herself from the seatbelt and began gathering up some essentials before their departure= (i had to land us couple hundred clicks east of our predetermined landing zone because of the) =grumbles= (shortage of fuel but it looks safe and is out in the open and away from large bodies of water)

SIRIUS: (so hopefully our chances of running into larger predators is slim)

SIRIUS: (well)

SIRIUS: (slimmer)

DORIAN: -he's stepping over to the scattered sheets, grabbing them all up. He'll sort them out in a minute.- well i hate to break it to you siri but...

DORIAN: -stands up straight again after scooping papers off the floor- you already ran into the biggest predator around. -proceeds to casually perform The Eyebrow Dance.-

SIRIUS: =She had been glancing over at him expectantly, but after he finishes his statement, all she can do is stare, legitimately stunned.=

SIRIUS: (...)

SIRIUS: =Then her face breaks and she hid it behind her hand= (pffffffff hehehehehehehe)

DORIAN: -well now he's grinning, laughing too, and he quickly makes an effort to sort through the mess of papers before captchaloguing them.- im pretty sure most everythings in my sylladex... except the peanut butter naturally. thats pretty important.

DORIAN: anything you need to grab before we head into fresh air? or did you want to rest first.

SIRIUS: =She grinned.= (i dunno about you but with all the excitement i can hardly rest)

SIRIUS: =She is opening some cabinets though, grabbing things she hadn't yet stored in her sylladex: a couple binoculars, and several packs of piton. You never knew. She also went to the ship's small kitchen to grab the peanut butter, which had fallen to the floor after being knocked off the table from the jostling.=

SIRIUS: (cant forget our spooky cloud repellent hehe)

DORIAN: oh of course. we would be fuck knuckled FOOLS to forget that. -He's grinning; he's glad she agreed to run out of the ship, because he feels much the same. There's no way to chill now that they're finally here, especially after all of that.-

DORIAN: lets blow this glorious popsicle stand shall we? -offers a hand and nods toward the exit door-

SIRIUS: =she shoved the rest of their needed materials into her sylldex and smiled as she took Dorian's hand=

SIRIUS: (yeah lets blow it)

SIRIUS: =she turned and blew a kiss shipward=

SIRIUS: =and then laughed at her own joke. She's hilarious.=
