‘ don’t be a stranger. ’ -softlyflappingwings

He makes a face, and drags his cigarette to drown out the smell of baked goods clinging to the younger man. After a moment he writes a note.

[[ I don’t like bread.]]

[softlyflappingwings-arc]

Reading the note, he blinked and cocked his head to the side as he took a few moments to think. Holding up a finger for a moment, then pointing at the ground to tell the man to wait there, he darted back inside. Theo had come out earlier to find the lurker, providing a chalkboard for easier communication; he couldn’t expect everyone to know sign language of any sort. 

Not terribly long after, he has a small bag with a few cookies in them in hand when he returns to join the taller man. Smiling to him, they are offered up curiously. It wasn’t bread, and it was a sort of proof that there were things the stranger might enjoy, still, in his shop.

Fluff Starters

“You’re hair is really soft after you wash it.”

“Ssh. Stop fussing. I’m just braiding your hair.”

“You smell really nice.”

“Would it be all right if I borrowed your sweater? It smells like you.”

“I might have slept with your robe when you were gone.”

“If you steal the blankets, I am going to put my cold feet on you.”

“Here, let’s share the blanket.”

“You’re comfy.”

“You are my new pillow.”

“You are very endearing when you are half-asleep.”

“But I want to hear you sing.”

“We can talk over dinner.”

“Don’t be stubborn. Try it!”

“Don’t get up - I’ll do it.”

“Will you let me rub your back?”

“Care to give me a back scratch?”

“Star-gazing was a good idea.”

“You look beautiful/handsome in the moonlight.”

“I’ll always be here for you.”

“I’ll be here to protect you.”

“I think I love you.”

“You are my love.”

“How about something warm? It will will help you sleep.”

“It’s okay. I couldn’t sleep anyway.”

“Don’t be silly. I want to stay up with you.”

“It is not morning yet.”

“Shush and go back to bed.”

“I heard you talking in your sleep.”

“Your bed head is really cute.”

“We’ll do dishes together.”

“How about a kiss?”

“I love your hugs.”

A few were inspired by these.

🌙 - softlyflappingwings

Send me a 🌙 and I will generate an AU starter

Number generated: 10

Magic AU; Muse A is Muse B’s apprentice, both of them are magicians/wizards/witches. Muse B is teaching Muse A because of some goal they need though, no other reason.

Never had the ancient being thought he would ever find a being worthy to take on as his apprentice. In fact, he was entirely pessimistic of the ordeal in general. He hardly knew the other and what they were capable of. And as far as he was concerned, they too could not be trusted. But among all other choices he had, this one seemed the most promising. 

The first few weeks were rocky to say the least, however, given Perospero’s pessimistic attitude, but they were manageable. His apprentice was definitely not one to give up easily, especially given how difficult the ancient being was when it came to their training. Determination and prowess were strong with this one, traits not easily found with others who have tried and failed so miserably under Perospero. He would not admit it, he was proud to see how far they have come in the short amount of time they spent together. Though his apprentice still had plenty more to learn. 

The season of the moon was to be upon them soon, a time in which spirits and the energies of nature were at their peak. This was a time to stay especially focused on the lessons Perospero had prepared for his student, as the season, though ripe with magical energies, was also dangerous.

It was said that revenge was a dish best served cold, and that Magic wasn’t quite the way to approach it. Although he had found his place among some peers, Theo had come to terms that it wasn’t enough, and there were other ways to handle his situation. Long nights studying proved fruitless, until it provided him a chance to study under someone else. Someone powerful.

While revenge wasn’t the only reason for this situation, it was definitely the redhead’s driving force. 

Another reason, a limitation he wished to break, was the means of communication. He had come so far to do so many things, and had even trained his voice to speak the proper incantations and any vocal portions necessary, but his inability to hear made his true goal and outcome difficult to grasp. Coming as far as he had, learning to work with Master Prospero and practicing all the different opportunities that he provided, only to fall just barely short of going further because of his natural born disability... It was a fire under his feet.

The true test, he knew, to determine whether or not he could overcome this problem, was coming up. He practiced more frequently, studied instead of slept, and worked with his tongue and the vibrations of his vocal chords to ensure that he would not slip up or make any mistakes. While his voice was toneless, he could pronounce things well enough now that it seemed more of a speech impediment than a loss of hearing. 

Theo covered a yawn, staring down at the bleary words of the book in front of him. There was a spell, somewhere out there, that would provide him the temporary ability to hear as all others did. It was in stories, too many to be a coincidence, and though he often felt foolish waking up in fairytales like this, it was a hope that he would be able to reach his goal after all.

[softlyflappingwings-arc]

With both writing out on a chalk board, and signing out every word, Theo greets and welcomes each new face he has seen take notice of the bakery.

'Thank you for the follows and I hope to interact with you all sometime soon!'

aska-verytired-luffy reblogged your post “Woah, you’re so handsome. *clasps hand over mouth, embarrassed* oh...”

Watching the realization come over Luffy’s features had Theo smiling widely again, soon to nod and point at the teen, then give him a thumbs up. He was fine.

Noticing that his guest was now taking in the scenery of the bakery, he stepped back and closer to his work counter, breathing in deeply. Different kinds of breads and rolls serviced the front areas, while the sweets were closer to the dessert counter and behind where he stood to take orders and so-on. There were little sheets of papers and some pens for longer orders.

At the pointing, Theo glanced up in time to catch, ‘one of those...’ and he saw where Luffy was directing him to. Moving behind the dessert counter, he opened up the back and drew out the tray with the cheesecake in request out. Pointing to it, he pointed to himself, then held his fists in front of himself, rotating them on top of each other. He made this particular one.

He did have help in the bakery, after all, but he really enjoyed making the desserts himself.

Looking at Luffy again, he held up his fingers. One? Two? How many slices did he want?

//I'll find a mobile friendly font to use for Theo's writing/hand signing soon. In the meantime, enjoy some inspirational tunes//

Woah, you’re so handsome. *clasps hand over mouth, embarrassed* oh wait, you can hear me. *waves and points to self, then writes out on paper “Luffy”*

Attention rapt and focused, there’s the hint of a flush on the man’s cheeks, regardless of his inability to hear. He beams widely, taking the time to read that presented name, silver eyes watching each movement of the stranger. Pointing at Luffy, he gestured to his mouth... and then to his own eyes. He read lips rather well, quite honestly, but soon silently asked for the writing utensil to reply with, 

‘𝐻𝑒𝓁𝓁𝑜, 𝐿𝓊𝒻𝒻𝓎. 𝐼’𝓂 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝑜! 𝒯𝒽𝒶𝓃𝓀 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒸𝑜𝓂𝓅𝓁𝒾𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉. 𝐼𝒻 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓈𝓅𝑒𝒶𝓀 𝓈𝓁𝑜𝓌𝓁𝓎, 𝐼 𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝓌𝒶𝓉𝒸𝒽 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝓂𝑜𝓊𝓉𝒽 𝓉𝑜 𝓀𝓃𝑜𝓌 𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓈𝒶𝓎, 𝓈𝑜 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒹𝑜𝓃'𝓉 𝒽𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝓌𝓇𝒾𝓉𝑒.’

[softlyflappingwings-arc]

Walking into a bakery for the first time, you spy a man ahead of you waving to catch your attention. Once he has it, his hands move in front of him, forming symbols and words with nimble fingers.

‘Hello, my name is Theo! Can I help you with something?’
