Hihi! I saw you had matchups open so I wanted to send one in!
Appearance: I'm 5'2 and I have dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I have a layered shag-wolf cut type hairstyle and I generally dress in more of a downtown girl kind of style, depending on how i feel that day.
Hobbies/interests : I like anything craft related, from sewing to cosplay and wig making, to rosette-making and diy jewelry and all sorts of things, i like making a lot of things out of cardboard and anything to make my room a bit more cozy! i also like playing the violin! also anything music related! (i got 150k+ minutes on my music recap for last year LMAO)
Biggest passions : I'm very physically weak so any sports or anything physical activity related is out of the question for me. Learning about law and literature is important to me! my hobbies are also equally as important to me! I also am very passionate about becoming the best I can, as I've been very shy my whole life, and I want to be more social. In the past academic year I've become super passionate about leading and socializing with others!
Biggest pet peeves/fears : I HATE hot weather. I also fear being too close with someone too fast. It takes quite some time to feel safe with someone, and even then, i require lots of alone time and my own space and things I can keep just to myself. I also have a odd fear of physical affection and physical affection (verbal is okay lol)
Things I value in a partner : Someone who is supportive of me. I have big goals (most of which are big steps to try and better myself) and having someone who doesn't laugh at me for it is important. I want to have a partner who will support me no matter what, despite my mental health challenges and my timidness, as well as my goals which i've been told are the opposite of my personality. I would appreciate someone who is okay with me the way I am, who won't mind if I'm not quite comfortable with physical touch or open affection quite yet. Also a bonus: If they are trying to improve themself or try to be a better person, that trope warms my heart.
Things I would avoid in a partner? : I would avoid someone who is too overstepping or overbearing. I don't like feeling suffocated. I would also avoid someone who tells me I'm wrong for my passions.
Love Language/Giving: Acts of service, I like doing anything I can to make the people I love's life just a bit easier
Love Language/Recieving: I would definitely enjoy quality time and words of affirmation, reassurance that my company is wanted and appreciated means a lot to me.
Thank you!!
Hello Alix! Thank you for choosing River of Dreams and Stars! I hope you enjoy your match! Keep reading below the cut to see who you received… — Sonnet 🌌
You have been matched with Akiyama Mizuki! 🎀
✦ You two both met at a cosplay making workshop. Mizuki was making a cosplay of her favorite characters from a mahou shoujo. You were in awe of her craftsmanship and you became fast friends!
✦ Yet, even when you two were two peas in a pod, there still seemed to be some distance between you two. Hopefully you can work this out.
✦ At the start of the relationship, Mizuki made sure to give you as much space as you needed because she knows you would do the same for her. As time went on, you two start to get closer!
✦ An example of quality time you two have is parallel play. Mizuki works on one thing, like editing or sewing, while you work on another thing. When you two are finished, you get to show what you’ve done.
✦ Mizuki finds you adorable and guess who happens to enjoy cute things hehe 😉
✦ Mizuki considers herself a charming individual, but if you do a favor for her or even just hold her hand, she gets flustered.

◤────•~❉✿❉~•────◥
Sea Otter
◣────•~❉✿❉~•────◢
A very social animal who loves to help out and interact with its kind and others.
They are very touchy and creative.
In most cases sea otters can adapt to a lot of situations but not all.
They are incredible intelligent and can solve any problem that come sup to them.
WHY?:
I feel like the Otter can feel familiar with you and learn a lot with you.
It will join you in any activity and be happy to learn new tricks.
Its not only a very active familiar for you but also a good cuddle and chill buddy who gets to mirror any personality you have in the moment.
Yooooo I was just thinking about sea otters today! (also possible Kalim reference? Like my favorite character, Kalim Al Asim, the housewarden of Scarabia? /hj)

summary: Kalim is more complex than most people realize, and even he isn't immune to negative emotions. during a quiet night, he spills his guts about not feeling enough, which leads to a heart to heart shared between you both.
pairing: kalim al asim x gn! reader
tw: mentions of neglect and toxic family life
note: this is lowkey a character study, and I hope I didn't botch Kalim. I do think he's more complex than we realize, and I really wanted to give him a space to unpack that. I love Kalim sm, he's seriously underrated.
wc: 1.9k
Master List
No one really saw past Kalim’s sunny smile and joyous disposition. To the world, he was a naive, overly happy, spoiled son of one of the most rich merchant families in the world. He had important ties, his own cousin being the prince of the Scalding Sands. Many people liked to use Kalim’s personality to their advantage, it didn’t help that he was so willing to give everything he had away. Yet if anyone took a chance to look deeper, you would start to see the cracks in the foundation.
While Kalim was the firstborn son, it doesn’t mean that he got much love and attention from his family, as not only did he have caretakers, but five siblings followed him shortly after. Kalim learned that he had to smile all the time, to be happy, because if he showed fear, sadness or anger, his younger siblings quickly latched on to those emotions, and it could have disastrous effects. His younger sister scraped her knee? He’d smile brightly, calling her brave as he handed her a lollipop as the attendants cleaned and bandaged it. His younger brother was sad because they hadn’t seen their father in a long time? Big hugs and smiles as he takes him on an adventure to get his mind off of the lack of attention their parents gave.
Outside of Jamil, Kalim had learned from a young age that many people did not care for him outside of what he could offer them. During elegant parties hosted by his families, the older folks would comment on what he would inherit in his future, side eyeing his clothes, his jewelry, and him as a person. While he was mainly taught in his home, the times he did try to bond with other kids his age, they’d all ooo and awe at his jewels, and ask for food, or money, and if he didn’t give them what they wanted they grew disinterested.
Even Jamil wasn’t truly his friend, but an indentured servant who was tasked with caring for Kalim. Kalim wanted nothing more than to befriend Jamil, but Jamil couldn’t look past his anger and hatred towards being put in such a position, and blamed Kalim for all his problems in life. It was unfair for all parties involved (though it was more unfair for Jamil than anyone else).
Then you came into the picture. Kalim treated you like anyone else, with enthusiasm and joy at the thought of a potential new friend. His first thought was to shower you with parties and parades, because if he didn’t entertain you, would you leave him too? Yet you were different. You didn’t take every chance to accept more of his money, you didn’t bask in the parades and parties. In fact, you would pull him away, in a secluded, tucked in area and get to know him better personally. When he tried to lavish you in extra jewelry he had, you merely put it back on him and would say something along the lines of–
“It looks better on you.”
In fact, you introduced him to something he wasn’t used to. While he loved his siblings with all his heart, he wasn’t stupid. He noticed the tensions they felt as they grew, the disdain they may hold for him as the oldest. He also loved Jamil, he wanted to believe with his whole heart that Jamil genuinely cared for him back, but he couldn’t ignore the sighs, nor the looks of annoyance sent towards him. But who would like him if he showed that it affected him? Kalim didn’t want to be alone, so he did his best to just suck it up and take everything.
Then you did something no one had before. You always looked at him with genuine curiosity for what he had to say. You would ask him what he preferred, and why. You would sit with him even if there was no party, nor parade, or even adventure. He didn’t have to always be loud, or enthusiastic, or have to do anything to keep your attention, you just…cared. You seemed to genuinely like him, and it made him all warm and fuzzy and made him up his antics even more than normal when you were around. He couldn’t help it! He just loved you so much it made him volatile! He was always so giddy around you he felt like a volcano about to burst!
Yet things started changing. As his fondness and love for you continued each day, the thought of not seeing you felt suffocating, you started to drift a little. Not in a big way. You still smiled brightly when Kalim was silly, you would still link your arms together, or greet him with a giant squeeze of a hug, but your eyes would drift. Your time spent with him felt shared, no longer something sacred shared between you both.
Kalim loved you, and he loved Jamil, and seeing you both get along so well made his heart swell with joy. It was all he could ask for, two of the most important people in his life also like each other. So why did it hurt him when you turned your focus away from him when Jamil would enter the room? Why did it ruin his mood when you smiled when mentioning something Jamil told you? Why did it feel like he was losing you when you never even left his side? He wasn’t used to such unpleasant emotions swirling within him. Everything else he could handle, the neglect, the fickle, the feeling of never being quite enough. Yet this, the questioning, wondering if he was enough, if you’d grow bored and it just took you longer to come to the same conclusion as everyone else.
It was eating him alive.
He found himself clinging to you more, absorbing the amused smile you sent his way each time he’d cling to you more. He’d make sure your favorite dishes were always present when you were around, hoping at the very least you would come back for the food. He was honestly a chaotic mess. To the untrained eye, he was just acting like normal, sunshine incarnate, but you noticed. You always did. You noticed the way Kalim’s smile would strain, like he was mourning something he had yet to lose. The way he would beg you to stay more and more often, like he was never going to see you again. You hated it.
It was growing late, Kalim’s sunny temperament hadn’t died down in the slightest as the two of you laid side by side. You watched on silently as his smile dimmed, not from being unhappy, just the need for rest finally catching up, his ruby eyes drooped as your heads rested on pillows. Yet that one question that had been gnawing on you slipped past your sleepy mind.
“Are you okay?” You ask, fingers curling by your silk pillow, eyes taking in the housewarden across from you.
“Of course I am,” Kalim smiles, his own hand inching closer to your own, the urge to hold it itching him. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
“You’ve been acting strange recently,” You explain, shifting your head to get more comfortable. “I just wanted to make sure you were alright. It’s okay if you’re not, I don’t mind listening.”
Something in him cracked at that. The way your hair fell around your face, the two of you under his blanket pulled up to your shoulders. He really, really, really didn’t want to lose you. You had become someone so special to him, and he cherished you more than he could ever realize, and he couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“Do you like me?”
It came out like a scared animal, hushed and vulnerable. Something that was so unlike him.
“Of course.”
Your reply was instant, not an ounce of hesitation. You cared for him so much, and you didn’t want him second guessing that.
Kalim’s hand inched towards your own once more, your pinkies brushing as his eyes settled towards the contact, “Sometimes I feel like you’ll grow bored of me.” The admission was honest, coming from a deep place that had been slowly bleeding for years that he kept covered with his reassuring smile and naivete.
Your heart clenched, eyebrows furrowing at such a statement. Linking your pinkies, you contest his negative thought, “I’d never grow bored of you. I like you Kalim, more than you realize. I never want you to think otherwise. I love spending time with you, because you are so kind, sweet, and caring and you make me feel seen in ways no one else has.”
“Really?” He asks, eyes peering into yours, trying to find any hint of deception (he finds none). “Because you make me feel that way too. You make me so happy, I never want this to end.”
“It may change,” You murmur, shuffling a bit closer. “But it doesn’t have to end.”
“Will you stay with me?” Kalim can’t help but to ask, also shuffling closer to you, his hand wrapping around yours. “After we graduate, and if you haven’t found a way back home yet. Would you come home with me? I’ll make sure you’re well cared for.”
“I already am well cared for,” You grin, kissing the back of his hand, effectively melting his heart. “I’m honored you’d bring me with you.”
“Of course I’d bring you!” Kalim pouts, your faces merely inches apart, you intertwined hands pinned between you both. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“Would your parents be okay with that though?” You question, doubts creeping in. As much as you’d love to imagine a sunny paradise with Kalim by your side, things were never that simple.
“They’ll have to be,” He huffed, finally relaxing as your warmth seeped into him. “‘Cus if you can’t come back with me, then I’d just follow you.”
“I love you.”
The words left your lips without permission, but you meant it wholeheartedly. Kalim’s grin brightened, no more doubts and insecurities pulling it down. A great weight finally lifted off his heart, and he couldn’t stop himself from letting go of your hand to wrap you in a giant hug.
“I love you too!” He exclaimed, burying his head in the nape of your neck. “I love you so so so so so much! Let's have a huge wedding! With peacocks, and elephants! I’ll make sure no one can doubt how much I love you.”
You can’t help but laugh, slightly flustered at both Kalim being so close, as well as him already planning your marriage. It seems that that answers if you both were confessing as friends or not (not that you minded).
“I don’t think anyone can doubt that,” You smile, arms wrapped around his torso as you nuzzle your face into the top of his head. “I only ask that you don’t doubt my love either.”
“I won’t!” Kalim shouts, pulling away slightly to meet your eyes, his face deadly serious. “I’m sorry for doubting you before, it won’t happen ever again. I promise.”
“I believe you,” You chuckle, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “Now let’s go to sleep, I’m tired.”
“Okay,” He murmurs, falling back into place and snuggling as close as he can to you. “Can you sleep over tomorrow too? And the night after that? This is really nice.”
“Sure,” You agree, fingers carding through his short hair, the lull of sleep slowly claiming you.
