A Weird Way of Bonding
Shino Aburame X Gn!Reader
Description: As a way of bonding, Shino lets his bugs crawl over your skin so they get to know you
Warnings: Bugs, a whole lot of bugs crawling over your skin, established relationship, apart from that just fluff, but beware of the bugs
There were at least 200 bugs crawling around on your arm, their legs and little hairs tickling you. The thought of letting insects crawl around on your body was certainly not a pleasing thought, but it seemed important to Shino, so you decided to suck it up and let them.
"They like you", Shino told you in his deep voice.
While having a spare insect or two crawl over you after cuddling with Shino was nothing new, having a good two dozen walk into your sleeve, over your torso was definitely new.
"Thank you for doing this", your boyfriend eventually filled the silence. "Not many would be willing to".
"I can imagine. To be quite honest, the thought did irk me at first, too, but I know how much it means to you. A small sacrifice for our relationship" You give him a small smile, trying to comfort him and placing a hand over his.
"Is it a clan tradition or just in general important for them to get used to me?", you ask, wanting to figure out just why exactly you're putting yourself through this.
"It's like sharing a part of myself with you, so clan tradition fits the term nicely", he answers, removing an insect from your hair and placing it on your shoulder.
"Well, over time I have gotten used to bugs over all over me. Though this amount is certainly... new."
You chuckle nervously, remembering the one of the first times you cuddled, only to realise a whole bunch of insects on your forearm. One of the parts of dating an Aburame man.
After that you two just sit in silence, the small legs of Shino's pets crawling over you, tickling your skin. After some time he let them crawl back into his coat, deciding that it was enough time spent between him, you and his bugs.
"Thank you", he says simply, pressing a soft kiss onto your forehead.
"You're more than welcome"

I was trying to catch a house centipede for two hours in my bedroom the other night, so I wrote this during the struggle to calm myself. They’re in a Motel 6.

another idea I'd love to turn into the full colored picture sometime.
Glinda and the old spirit she agreed to rebirth in her own body when she was a young queen. A truly horrific part of her life...This creature, her child, is still alive somewhere in Umbra and their connection makes Glinda's magic cursed and dark. The spirit fully consumed the soul of the child and grew stronger with years. If it's break into our world, New Orleans is doomed..
Charlie is one of the very few (if not the only one) who knows the full story. And it makes him only more proud of her, it makes him love her even more. They'll get through this, somehow.
