It's true what they say about yoga helping you clear your mind.
I found myself in a situation where my natural instinct was to Freak Out ™️, but as I stood there beforehand, ass up, getting my morning stretches in, I thought to myself....
What if I Don't Freak Out though?
And sure enough, the situation has since sorted itself out, no freakout needed. Yoga. Big fan.

This pattern was shared on the old server. So, because it still takes forever until I'm finished with the next part of "Life continues after the adventure" but I also joked that since Laura is learning to knit in that stories her making this to prank Travis would be a cute little fic. For Christmas. As a present?
I'll probably upload it at a later time to Ao3 but only after I finished the next piece and I probably reworked it a bit. xD

Not Beta read! Sorry for any mistakes! I have no idea what I'm doing!
It probably helps to know the the other stories but I think this is fine alone too.
Laura is in North Kill for a year now and is the assistant of the local vet but will soon finish her studies. She is part of a small crafts-circle that the old women of North Kill use to chat and have some fun. The town is mostly filled with old people, young one leaving the town as soon as possible.
After Laura's return she and Travis became friends and their relationship moved so far that they often share their evenings, falling asleep together on the couch in Lauras apartment. But nothing happened between them yet.
All Hacketts except Bobby are dead, all counsellors survived in this timeline.
Finally the story after the read more!
---
"Hey, Ladies! Look at this!" Mrs. Gauthier came into the city community center, just as Laura was helping Mrs. Waldmann preparing another pot of coffee in the little corner kitchen.
Mrs. Gautier put down a couple of printed pages. Laura couldn‘t see much but that it was a knitting pattern and taking in the reactions of some of the women it was probably something perverted. Laura hurried with her task and then walked over to see what some of them were laughing about while others shook their heads.
It was called a banana-sweater but it could be obviously used for something else too. Laura laughed. It was actually quite cute with the little button.
"What do you think, Laura?" Mrs. Gauthier was still smirking as Mrs. Waldmann walked up to the group too.
"Bananas have it all. Hammocks in summer, little sweaters in winter…" Laura shrugged and Mrs. Gauthier laughed about that little joke. She then collected the papers again.
"My granddaughter sent it to me, asked me to make a few for a bachelorette party. Her best friend is getting married."
"That is so nice!"
Laura returned into the kitchen corner to get the coffee and also to avoid any possible upcoming questions about when she was going to get married.
Sometimes it felt like she had adopted a bunch of grandmas when she joined this crafts circle.
Nonetheless…
When Laura returned to the table the women had already arranged some of the treats and helped themselves to some of the drinks.
"Mrs. Gauthier, is it okay if I sit beside you and also try this pattern?"
"Of course!"
"What do you need this pattern for?" Mrs. Miller asked her question showing how much she liked to gossip.
"I have a friend I want to prank next time I see them," Laura smiled thinking about it.
"A small friend that is keeping you company on lonely nights?" It was Mrs. Collier asking that question with a smirk. Her friend Mrs Miller laughed along.
Laura smiled and shook her head and then winked.
"No, I mean a real human friend. Surprisingly I have them."
Not that Laura would ever admit that she also had a "little friend" that she maybe or maybe not had gotten at the store last time when she was with her mom for Thanksgiving. Not like she could get one in North Kill or order one.
People would know. And she needed one. Fingers were nice and all but recently… that little friend wasn’t small.
Laura got to work. She had a banana to dress.
—
"Laura, why does this banana have a little…"
Laura glanced out of the kitchen to see Travis stare at the fruit bowl that was standing on the living room table. His expression was exactly what she had hoped for.
Utter confusion.
"It’s a sweater!" Laura managed to sound chipper and didn’t laugh at his questioning glance towards her and returned to the kitchen, keeping an eye on the scrambled eggs. "I made it at the crafts meeting!"
Laura had to shout a little to make sure that Travis would hear her.
"Uh huh…"
"Little sweater before I start with a big one for you!"
"A sweater… for a banana?"
"Yeah!"
Laura could hear Travis step up into the doorway to the kitchen: "And since when did you put fruits on the table?"
She turned towards him, with her best innocent smile in place.
"The other women told me that I should eat more fruits and who am I to not listen to the council of the wise ladies of North Kill?"
"Two oranges and one banana with a sweater?" Laura had to turn back to the stove in an attempt to hide her smile.
"There is also a pear and two apples under those…"
Travis walked out again but not without answering. "Sure. You stick to that story, ma’am."
Taking a deep breath to not either start shouting or laughing, Laura turned off the stove and grabbed two plates and put some bread into the toaster. He was right of course. The placement was very deliberate. She wanted to prank him. Cause a reaction. And she had gotten one. Maybe there was more?
While waiting for the bread Laura got the ketchup and two bottles of beer from the fridge.
It gave her the chance to look out and see Travis glaring at the offending fruit bowl. Finally he reached for the banana and apparently compared it to his hand. There was a small snort and a calm "it’s smaller" and Laura hid away before he could see her sneaking glances.
What was that about? He couldn’t mean…
Suddenly the toaster finished heating up the bread, causing Laura to yelp.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah! I‘ll be out with you any moment."
Taking a deep breath, she put everything on a tablet and walked to the couch and put it down on the table while Travis moved the fruit bowl to her desk.
Finally they sat down, Laura started one of the many Christmas movies.
"When you start with that sweater for me please make sure that it is big enough. I would hate not to be able to wear it because of my size," he grabbed his plate.
Laura halted in her reach towards the ketchup bottle, glancing towards Travis who looked way too nonchalant. He returned her look with a perfectly neutral face and nodded toward her plate. "Aren’t you hungry?"
What the fuck? This was not how it was supposed to be! He was not supposed to be the one teasing her!
"Of course I would take your measurements before I start with such a big project!" She added ketchup to her toast and bit into it.
He snorted at that and also continued with his meal and drink.
Great! Now what?!
She had known that Travis was big! You can wake up with a dick poking you only so many times before you start to guess the size.
But if he really was bigger than that stupid banana… the fruit was bigger than her toy!
God!
How the fuck was she supposed to look at him and not think about his dick?! It had already been a struggle before. She was way too aware of her attraction. Well, she would just have to deal with it…
She glanced over to him as he was slowly eating his toast now ignoring her and way too focused on the movie.
Damn him!
She would get back at him. Eating and listening to the movie with only half an ear she glanced over to the fruits and then had an idea.
After they finished Laura decided to also take everything back into the kitchen and then came back with a can of whipped cream and chocolate sauce. She then walked back to her desk.
"Do you want some fruit?"
"No, thanks."
Laura grabbed the banana and sat down with her loot, slowly undressing the fruit and then opening it up.
She then cuddled up to Travis who she could see from the corner of her eye, watching her with some curious attention. She had to move away from him again to grab the cream to add it to the tip of the banana and added some of the chocolate just to make it not as obvious. For the same reason she decided against basically deepthroating it. Also she actually wanted to enjoy the treat.
And that she did, bit into the fruit and actually the only thing missing was some ice cream but she would have to get up for that again and laziness finally won. A joke should only go so far. But it was delicious and it had been some time since she had eaten a treat like that and so she let out a low moan.
Laura realized that she couldn’t see any reaction Travis might have had right now but that wasn’t even the most important part right now. Still, a little bit more teasing would be fun. So, she turned to him and caught his eyes rushing from her to the screen and a slight blush on his cheeks and ears.
"Want a bite?"
"No…," his voice was hoarse and he had to clear his throat. "No, thank you."
With a smile and being sure she won this round Laura cuddled back into Travis side, both cream and sauce between them and she continued to eat her dessert, adding mostly whipped cream and moaning from time to time.
"You know fruit is not very healthy when you add that stuff," Travis glanced down at her just as she was licking some cream off the fruit and then biting a piece off again. She could hear him inhale.
"You know I know that but also that I don’t care. Last chance to get a piece!" Laura got out the last piece of the fruit and threw the peel on the table and added cream and chocolate to then hold it up to Travis, not expecting him to actually eat it.
But he did. And before she knew what happened he moved forward and for a short moment her fingers were in his mouth and there was a short suck and lick on her thumb. And… fuck! What the fuck?! No fucking way.
"Yeah, it's good. I’ll take one next time too."
Now it was on Laura to exhale the breath she hadn’t known she had held. There was only one way to react to this: angry laughter.
"Eww!" Laura laughed and wiped off her hand on Travis shirt, doing her best to ignore how his chest felt and not remembering the times she saw him without shirt. "You’re disgusting!"
"You keep forgetting that I’m a big brother and an uncle! I basically helped to raise four children."
There was a short and awkward silence, the movie completely forgotten by now. Laura put the cream and sauce back on the table to then return to Travis side and cuddle into him, trying to be as close as possible and mumbling a "I’m sorry" into his chest.
He laid both his arms around her, pulled her closer and planted a little kiss on the top of Laura's head. She really liked that feeling. Would have been nicer under different circumstances.
"No, I’m sorry. I should not have said that."
"I fear it will always be between us in the end…"
He hummed in agreement but kissed her again. A way to say it was fine, that it was the past but it would still always be there. Only one of the four was still around.
Laura sighed and turned her head to the screen, getting into an even more comfortable position.
"Well, today I learned that I won’t win in a prank war against you."
"That is smart of you to figure out."
"Because I am smart."
"Yes, you are."
They stayed silent for a few moments and glancing around Laura saw the banana sweater lying nearby and grabbed it to hold it up to Travis.
"Just so you know, it is one size fits all. Or most… bananas that is."
Again there was a neutral look, and raised eyebrows. He took the little knitted piece and pulled it over three of his fingers and stretched them as a test.
Finally he glanced down at her: "Most."
"Oh, shut up!" She grabbed the piece and threw it on the floor, feeling laughter vibrate through his chest. "I’ll knit a banana pattern into your sweater!"
"Whatever it turns out to look like, I’ll wear it. As long as it’s not too small."
Laura smiled at that, finally looking at the screen and relaxing further and enjoying the evening.
I went into the Backrooms movie with some very surface level knowledge of the lore, but had a lot of fun nevertheless. Great time, just what I needed tonight.
What's funny though, is that it's basically my work place lmao. My office is in a Soviet era plant building that is now a mall. It has e n d l e s s l y long floors with walls of questionable color. Including a furniture section that stretches to the horizon. There's some carpet and buzzing lights, of course, and store music. I'll be giggling about it for a while. 😅
So... is there a point to watch Born Again s2 as a Kastle/Punisher fan? I was put off by the first episode, decided to wait until more episodes were out, and then low-key forgot about the show all together. I'm thinking of picking it up again, though, please advise.
Also, anyone else thought the boat thing in the beginning was kinda like
If I were Korea, I would just make white lorries illegal. We never seem to have problems with lorries of other colours. Would improve road safety no end.
I took my old Canon camera to the zoo and caught some bangers. Its 10x zoom remains undefeated.
It was such a nice day in general, athough I did get cold in the end. April is dirty and dusty, but it's definitely spring. Felt good to be outside after sitting in the office.
Another cross stitch DONE. Now on to those floral designs I've been planning to work on....
Edit: Not me posting the photo and realizing I missed a few stitches. 🙄 All done now. It's a big step towards using up what I call the Endless Blues. Aka the endless amount of blues left to me by my grandma. Those threads are older than me, and I still have a fair amount to get through.
There are also The Big Purples. The Crazy Greens. The Flaming Reds. The Nasty Pinks. I'm set for life, and it is my life's mission to put those threads to work.
I was cleaning out my old reylo boosty page and as I was looking through payment stats, I noticed that, apparently, one lady had requested refunds for multiple n s f w art posts she bought access to. It never occured to me that refunding a subpar fapping expirience was an option - the more you know! The platform rejected her requests automatically hence why I'm only noticing them years later, but the
does get to me. Maybe she was hoping Kylo's d*ck would be drawn bigger or something, I don't know.
