HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024 !!
i want to take the time to leave a little message to end the year 2023 & welcome 2024 officially. the one thing i really want to say is thank you. once again, thank you to everyone who had been with me for yet another year. 2023 had been a rough year for me, work and stress wise. there were ups & downs, but i simply want to say thank you to everyone i had met for being so kind, so patient, so understanding, and so supportive of me throughout the year. thank you for being my friends, my writing partners, my partner-in-crime, and for staying with me throughout thick and thin. if i had done anything wrong or had made you feel bad in any way, i am very sorry. it's never my intention. and thank you for deciding to stay even with my flaws and imperfections.
i've met so many wonderful people this year, and i am so blessed to have met all of you, to have been given the chance to meet such amazing people and to call you my friends. i've reconnected with old mutuals, i have met new mutuals who quickly became one of my closest friends, i've gotten a chance to talk to mutuals who i never talked to before. i don't know what i'd do without you guys here. i wouldn't have stayed on tumblr for this long if it weren't for you guys.
again, thank you. thank you for finding my blog worthy of clicking that follow button and for deciding to stay through this whole year. thank you for being so patient with me even though my activity is spotty, even though my fixation for a certain trailblazer had been going on for so many months ( esp to those who let me throw eden at them, you guys deserve a medal really, ) even though i go silent in the middle of convo because i have attention span of a goldfish or simply just have little social juice left in my tank. thank you ... for still being here despite everything.
please stay safe, healthy, happy, and absolutely amazing as you all are. i wish all of you all the best wishes and happiness in the world for every single one of you deserve all of that and more. here's to the end of 2023. we have made it !! now, onto 2024 !! a better, brighter year for us !! pupper loves loves loves all of you so much from the bottom of my heart. HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
@aestuavis // i saw you in a dream, it's been so long. my darling how you still shine.
his time in paldea has been nothing short of mesmerizing, breathtaking, cathartic — dare he say metamorphic. the crystals and the life has breathed a new soul into him it felt like, the weights lifting off of his heavy shoulders so much it felt like he had been born anew. but even with all the wonder and excitement and discovery, hoenn still seemed to call his name ; he knew he had left business unfinished for far too long. there were faces he yearned so intensely to see, so many words left unspoken he wished to scream to the heavens.
so many faces he owes so many apologies to. so many faces that he hasn't seen in so long it feels like a burned memory beginning to fade to greyscale. steven hated that feeling, and the guilt that subsequently came after, he hated all the more. so many faces, and yet of all of them to run into after all this time, she was one of the two that would truly rattle him to his core if caught unprepared.
and unprepared he was, indeed.
" ah — " was all he could muster up in all the short-circuiting his brain was caught up in. ( how becoming. )
did she even see him in this sleepy city of mossdeep? here, on the blue pattern cobbled streets and in the salty air? ( distantly, he hoped that if he continued to freeze in place like this, she would be unable to detect him. intelligence was something he prided himself on. )
|| 茜 || :: the world was changing and moving, and the SUZAKU remembered the time where she wished everything stand still for a moment. when things were both more difficult and easier at the same time. the paths that separated for both of them to become themselves, to find things they needed to, to do things they were required to. her wings ached whenever they took her far from here. he had his journey and she had hers.
that was why she never gone out to search for him, simply returning back HERE to see whether or not he had made it home yet —
of all the ways she had imagined and dreamed of meeting him again, certainly this wasn't something she could ever predicted. akane would recognize him from MILES away, she would recognize him in the dark without any lights, she would recognize him at the beginning and the end of everything. how she had thought about this moment, over and over.
but now that it was happening, the vermilion bird found words disappearing from her throat.
" daigo — " even his name sounded foreign on her tongue. a step forward was taken. did he even hear her call his name ? it sounded almost like a whisper, as though she wasn't sure if this was real or not. was she dreaming ? oh, how she had dreamed of this moment countless of times before. how long had it been ? how many years ? the sight of him felt surreal. he looked different and familiar all at the same time. but one thing that didn't change ?
it was how the sight of him set her heart ablaze in ways no one ever could.
the young dragon was sneaking behind him while he was sitting. one would imagine she was trying to surprise him with something grand or silly. instead, when she got close enough to him, her smaller arms wrapped around his neck from behind. a soft, tender embrace despite their difference in size. her expression mellowed down as she partially buried her face into his shoulder without a word. he looked like he could use a hug. [ rin to uruha ! did i just login here to send this ? yes. yes i did. ]
prompted . @aestuavis .
with pen against paper, uruha had come to seek out the journal where he kept all important notes and letters addressed to the one who would, with time, come to enter the paved path he had left open to further explore ( were it to be so ). if asked, he would deem it as mere words to memorize, chores that needed to be done or phone numbers of people he wished to remember to a certain degree, all as a means of brushing off who was truly the recipient of the book within his hands.
himself, for the day where he'd find himself awaking with the questions of who he was, where he was and how come he found himself in a time that no longer matched the one he'd long for. unbelievable to some, a must to someone who had walked the earth for as long as him. nine hundred and counting, for what ? all those years and decades capture within his bones, and yet he found himself wondering how long he wished to keep this up.
immortality was a joke.
sadly, uruha didn't find himself amused by it.
what he did find himself amused by was the lingering presence of no other than her, rin. the one he had come to take a liking to, the one uruha would see as one of his kind, a familiar bond which brought out the protect parts of him. it was a rare occasion to see such parts of the dragonborn as they were reserved for those he found most precious to him. lovers, siblings and those whom had grown important to him, such as her, the one who reminded him of how nice it felt to look after someone ( in her, uruha found himself repenting for the sins he had committed towards his siblings, allowing death to take them too early / if only he had been stronger and wiser, perhaps they could have witnessed the world's progress together ). for around rin, he felt like an older brother, yet someone who leaned towards that of a guardian ( if someone laid a finger on her, it would be their last action in this world ), so when uruha had picked up on her presence he had done what every other responsible adult would have done.
he pretended not to pick up on it. he let her embrace him.
" sneaking up on me ? " he spoke, pen finishing a sentence ( it was written in japanese, the mother tongue he practiced hard to keep in this ever changing world ) before hands came to close it for now. it didn't concern rin, it concerned the one who'd take it from here when the time was right. " if you mistake me for an elder lizard who cannot see or hear i will remind you that i am a mighty dragon. "
as stoic as he might have sounded, a hand rose slowly, meeting with the back of her head. gentle pats were exchanged with strokes, uruha taking in the warmth of her hug.
immortality was a joke, but he dared not speak ill of the bonds he had forged throughout his time, as they made it worthwhile.
Kurenai's comment, though disheartening, didn't surprise Julius. His image as the stalwart, level-headed detective often gave others the impression Julius abandoned worry and panic eons ago. Those who believed that would be disappointed if they ever peeked into his head; worrying was the first thing their paragon of rationality does upon waking up every day.
"Of course I would," Julius could hardly begin to go over his thoughts. So many worries and anxiety built up over so long... The person he wanted to tell hadn't been around until just now. But he'd fight his mind and continue, "There's still so much I don't know about you. If the worst happened to you, I doubt I'd know when or why until there was nothing I could do about it. It scares me to no end--"
...Ah. Look at him, turning a heartfelt reunion into a pity party. When will this big brother learn not to express his feelings outside a lecture? Probably never.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to turn this into a lecture," Julius laughed at his terrible attempt to express himself. Where's Ludger to translate when you need him? "Though if I may, I've got one more big brother-ism for you: please tell me more about what's going on with your life. Even if it's as simple as, 'I took a walk around the park today!', I still want to know. Would you do that for me?"
|| 紅 || :: the words that came from his lips as his arms coiled around her in a relieved but PROTECTIVE HOLD weren't something kurenai had ever imagined hearing from the detective. yet, she found herself unable to pull away and settled to quietly lend the ears to the emotions being spilled from concern and worry. he was ... scared. the admittance reminded her of the time she was struck with fear over the possibility of him getting entangled in the underground affairs she was dealing with. how she purposely kept him out of the loop for his own safety.
" i don't think it's a lecture. " she murmured back to him, fingers clutching at his strong back. he really was larger and sturdier than her physique-wise, wasn't he ? she never realized that until now. then again, she could count the time they were physically close with one another enough for her to come to that conclusion. was this the first time he even held her ? it felt like it.
" i'm ... " her lips thinned, and he'd feel the way her digits seemed to clutch tighter at his back. she buried her face closer to his shoulder, sinking into his EMBRACE. it felt ... nice ... to have someone to hold onto for once. " i'm also scared that if you get too close, you'd get hurt because of me. " finally, she allowed her thoughts to be heard. it was long overdue, now, for them to open up to each other properly.
" but — i think i could do that. " she followed up, inhaling sharply. kurenai, despite being a GOOD LIAR and skilled in art of deception, had never lied to julius. and she wasn't the type to make empty promises, either. " i think ... i could let you in a little. i could text you what i'm doing, keep you updated, let you know where to find me. would that put your mind at ease ? " a pause, as her digits curled a little tighter. " you mean a lot more to me than you'd ever know. " she'd be damned if she hurts someone like him.
@confluxium asked :
"spit it out , what is it exactly ?" - james to kurenai (:

|| 紅 || :: the HACKER prided herself in being able to keep her emotions intact. that was something she almost always managed to do no matter the situation. it helped when you had been in the BUSINESS for so long that lying and masking what you're feeling became a second nature. when you spent majority of your time behind a persona, it got easier and easier to not display what she truly felt within. that, and because kurenai never allowed anyone close enough to witness what was like behind that carefree, yet lethal identity of a HACKER she employed. nothing personal, it's just business.
then why was it that she couldn't HIDE the emotions she was feeling right at this moment ? why was it that in front of him, she felt like an amateur in the art of DECEPTION ? why was it that he could see through her facade so easily like it was nothing ? it should make her uncomfortable, right ? it should make her feel exposed, yet, even now, the realization that HE remained the only person who could tell at a glance that something was bothering her was nothing short of the truth. there was no lying to him, and she did not want to lie to him. and, for once, she let her emotion get the best of her. he caught it. of course he did.
" spit it out , what is it exactly ? "
" i said, the man i love. " it was a spur of the moment, for she had never imagined herself admitting this out loud, whether it was to him or to herself. but that wasn't true, was it ? she had already admitted THIS FACT to herself, that was why it slipped out before she knew it. the deeper he went with this operation, the deeper he weaved his web of lies and control over london, and the more times that man showed himself to interrupt their PLANS, the more the hacker felt uneasy. it was like a tug, that warning blared in her mind whenever the detective presented himself on their trails. that was why she blurted out in the heat of their discussion and argument over why she got herself involved;
" how could i not intervene when i might lose the man i love !? "
sherlock holmes was coming after them, and moriarty was more than confident that he could take him. of course, the mastermind would believe that given his caliber and accomplishment, his skills and intellect were unparalleled. kurenai herself, however, had witnessed their clashes and battles many times, and every single time, she felt as if the SHADOW looming behind his back got shorter and shorter, as though it a count down. she despised that feeling, the dreadful sensation creeping up her spine.
the possibilities that the detective might become his downfall.
CRIMSON HUES stared straight into his cyan optics. she didn't dare look away now, nor was she attempting to HIDE what she kept locked up inside all this time. she had always been by his side, the closest person to him. his most trusted ally. his strongest pawn on the chess board. he wanted the truth ? he's getting the truth. the ultimate truth.
" i am in love with you, james moriarty. "

|| 昨夜 || :: despite how the BLACK WARRIOR didn't admit it out loud, his presence proved itself to be one that rooted her to earth and reminded her of the passage of TIME itself. he was an anchor holding her sane in the world littered with blood and wars. humans or not, living beings cling to those who made them feel alive and gave them a reason to go on with each passing day. it's a wonder if he realized just how much his appearance and existence meant to her. ah, she was getting sentimental. he'd scold her if he knew.
" still alive, i see. " corners of her lips tugged up into a subtle grin, and what laced her voice despite the syllables was nothing short of relief and delight. the GENBU was never the type to be verbal with her affection and care, but she knew that he would get what she meant by the statement alone. " what would you do next ? " the inquiry was posed almost casually, but both of them were well aware of the underlying message she included and how it was majorly out concern for the person next to her. after EVERYTHING, after the revelation, after the clash. the aftermath of it all. what is his decision ?

"I suppose if you're not taking it as me overstepping my boundaries, then yes. I was filing a case to investigate if you were alright. Your work is has its 'fans', after all." Julius knew too well the illusion of safety in a big city. Poke the wrong people, and you're never sure who's an enemy in disguise.
At the brazen suggestion, Julius has to play off the embarrassment with a clear of his throat, "That's a bit much to start with, isn't it? Plus you know my brother, we can't guarantee he'll--"
"No need to worry about me, I was going to brew some coffee anyway," Ludger knew when he ought to exit stage right, even if it played into Julius' conceit of 'he's just a baby'. "Enjoy your reunion. I'll be in back once the 'adults' are done." With one last wave goodbye, this little brother left the room to fire up the stove.
Oops, Julius didn't mean to kick Ludger out of the room. Though at least it solved the problem. "Remind me to apologize to Ludger after. But for now," Kurenai asked for a kiss, though she was getting a tight hug from Julius instead. He needed to know she was actually here, in his arms. Kisses could come second. "Welcome back, Kurenai. You don't know how glad I am to see you're alright."
|| 紅 || :: the HACKER couldn't help her smile widening as the investigator admitted to almost submitting a case just so he could look for her. it was very much like him to take that sort of initiative after prolonged absence on her part. though, it seemed that her little tease was more than enough to have the younger brother taking the cue to give them some privacy. she did, however, throw the other a wink and a light NOD of appreciation. she'd have to make it up to him later, a notion shared with both herself and the older brother, apparently.
but before she could say anything, the strong arms wrapping around her in a tight embrace caught her completely off-guard.
" ju ... lius ... ? " it wasn't often that her favorite investigator would initiate any physical contact. she was used to being the one doing that or demanding it almost shamelessly so. that was why the sudden hug and words of relief stunned her for a moment there. crimson hues widened in surprise as she felt her heart thump louder inside her chest. she wasn't used to it, to be missed in such a way despite her playful teases.
it took her a few moments to register it, and a few more seconds to react. arms slowly rose to coil around his back, letting her form be enveloped within his hold. it was a rare moment like this one that she was reminded just how he was sturdier in stature compared to her. " i'm back ... " the hacker mumbled softly, allowing herself to sink into those arms, burying her face against his shoulder. when was the last time she was held by someone like this ? " i didn't think ... you'd worry that much ... "
[ from time to time, i like hiding here bc this dash is much quieter & more peaceful so i feel a lot less stressed about my drafts / asks. i can just lurk and reblog memes and goof off. it's a good break after hellish weeks of work. ]

|| 紅 || :: the MASTER had noticed a certain pair of eyes on her for quite some time, especially after they had just returned from a successful mission. it wasn't without some battles and hiccups, of course, but all those weren't too difficult to deal with. perhaps, it was something INNATE in her that made her more calm and casual even in life and death situation. she had always been living her life on the line, for that thrill, and for that rush of adrenaline.
it seemed that her life has an internationally wanted criminal didn't fade away even after all that was said and done. that rush of urgency was what reminded her that she was still alive, and perhaps — she was wondering when THE END would come for her. how long would she have to go on ... ?
" if you have something to say, just say it. " finally, the female broke the SILENCE on her part, gaze landing upon her servant whose eyes had been fixated on her all this while. was he unhappy about the way she conducted herself as a master ? how peculiar to know it was HIM, the very man she loved, yet it was also not him. what she had with that moriarty didn't come until much later. this one ... he was young, after all.
