I think ur hot but highkey have no idea what you look like (confession)
Why thank you 😌 I'm pretty hot ngl. I'll say I'm taller than rouke, but the shortest in my family, and I wear glasses. Got long hair. And also I get to wear tees and jeans to work so that's me 99% of the time tbh
"... When I told you what happened while Edward and I were down south, I was scared you would remove him and Alphonse from my custody for their own safety. They lead dangerous lives, and I... I haven't protected them as well as I should have. I own that. When you didn't, and you treated me with more kindness than I deserved, I didn't know what to do." He let out a sigh as he paused, knowing for a fact he was rambling. "... I guess what I'm trying to say is this: thank you, Mrs. Rockbell. For taking care of those boys when I couldn't, and for being an example I can follow."
“It was no problem at all, dear.” She can hear his anxiety through the phone line as he speaks. She can hear him shifting around and sighing as if to signal his nervousness. She doesn’t need to be in the same room with him to feel his respect for her, the boys and the situation at hand. He’s a different person than the man she met all those years ago, who came into her house unannounced and uninvited.
They had plenty of serious, adult conversations while they were in Resembool and Edward was healing. She had plenty of time to fold him into the family properly the best she could in those two weeks. He saved her grandson’s life, really she should be thanking him.
“Before you stepped into the picture, Edward swore off the idea of fathers and I can’t say I blame him. Alphonse was always quieter about it but he had a near constant frown on his face. You might not think you’ve protected them well but you’ve loved them. You can’t protect your children from everything the world throws at them, but you can love them as they go through it. I trust you’ve been doing that in these past months. It’s all we can do, is love them through whatever comes their way.
They’re strong boys, and they’ve learned how to weather whatever storm comes their way, but sometimes they need a little extra help and someone else in their corner. I wouldn’t dream of taking them from you, when you’ve stepped up to be that person. To give them shelter from their storms. You’re family too now, Roy. You don’t need to address me so formally. I trust you’ve found a good dog for Edward?”
every day it blows me away just how ridiculously in love i am with you. it boggles my mind, how far we’ve come, but at the same time every little step we took together to get here makes the most perfect sense... my heart knew it wanted to be yours the moment we started talking. it didn’t know how or why or in what ways, but that was ok, the most important thing hearts need is time and nurturing. and gosh, every single second ever since we’ve met i have not stopped wanting to think about you, to care for you. you are so tangled with my soul, it feels like we were spat out by the same star. i have longed for you and wanted you in all the ways a person can - the serendipitous wonderful new acquaintance, the budding friend that makes me smile till my face hurts, the best friend i feel safe with whispering hurting truths in close embraces, the life partner i kiss and feel eons of our future together course happy in my veins, the boyfriend who sends my heart aflutter in ways i’ve never felt, the spouse who helps me build a home out of every single action we do for one another. i barely recognize myself, with how much your love has helped me find the ways to feel better in my own skin, dearest starlight. i hope i help too. to see you thrive is the best thing that could happen in my life.
i am so grateful for all the unending, unapologetic softness that has prevailed in my life over the past couple of years. sometimes i think about how much violence there used to be in my life, and how adapting to be desensitized to it was the only path i had to earn my belonging in that world, a world i wanted to nourish so much. i think it hurt me in many slow subtle ways, that left large scars over time, and now i wonder how much of it was reinforced in the ways i felt that being myself was bad, annoying, unfitting. i still regret the hurt i caused when i left, but only because i should’ve seen it and left sooner.
I was tagged by @impracticaldemon. List five confessions and tag a friend: 1. I don't act my age, apparently... 2. I smoke cigarettes (nothing else, though). 3. I have been in one fist fight in my life and the thought of it still makes me feel nauseated (or nauseous). 4. I STILL get extremely embarrassed by kissing scenes on TV if other people are in the room. 😮 5. I have never eaten at an Italian restaurant...though I love Italian food. And I'll tag @eliz1369
∯ - It feels like I’m on the outside looking in and I wish I could communicate everything I feel about you that I’m not supposed to feel, combined with what little I already felt and what I was trying to nurture. I’m glad you’re happy. I’m glad you’re at peace. I don’t think I should disturb that. I’m not a very peaceful nor happy person.
∯ - You terrify me. Is that strange? To think I was so apprehensive of you being afraid of me, and here I am, the same. Part of me wants to stay as we are. Part of me wants to seclude myself for fear of worse happening at your upset.
∯ - Are you trying to hide from me? I’m not angry with you. I can’t bring you peace, in the same way you hardly quiet my fears, but I’d like to start calling you a friend.
∯ - You just might change my mind about your profession. Not all the way, but maybe a little.
∯ - If you lay one single nasty finger on her I will cut off your hand at the wrist and smack you with it. It’s for Nadaya’s sake that I don’t do worse.
∯ - Thank you for being honest with me. Still baffled why you choose to talk to me at all, given who am and given who you are, but I want to think it’s growing into something nice. Hopefully you feel the same.
∯ - For the love of all things holy you had better make it out of this okay.
∯ - I wish I could do something more for you. I’m glad you’re here, I’m glad you’re finding something you like to do, I’m so glad to see you smile… but you don’t seem happy. You also don’t seem like you’d let me help.
∯ - If you don’t stop closing yourself off I might actually, physically kick your furry little butt.
"I know the Lieutenant told you about what I've got planned for fixing Amestris, but there's something that I want your help with in particular---you and Alphonse." He paused for a few seconds to allow those words to sink in. "I want you both to help me demilitarize the State Alchemist program and have it focused on research. It's something that I've been sitting on for a while. You and Alphonse embody what it means to be a State Alchemist, to Be Thou for the People, and I want that legacy to continue. There'll be a lot of work involved with policy changing, reorganizing, and public opinion's probably going to be mixed. But, I can't think of any two better people to help me... if you're interested."
He wants him to what? Him and his brother. He wants their help. He trusts them with this? Something this big? Papa trusted them this much? He doesn't know what to say, so for a while he says nothing at all. The gobsmacked look on his face should be more than enough to express his current mindset. Absolutely blown away and in awe at the same time. He didn’t know what to say. So he would say nothing at all.
He’s shifting his weight from one side to the other. His hand is rising to his chin. He’s thinking it over and it’s almost easy to see the gears visually turning in his mind. Working through steps and ideas. Problems and how to solve them. All the issues they would face, and just how the severe lack of the Be Thou For the People mindset is effecting the country. He’s already turn the idea over in his mind and then turning it over again. Help turn the State Alchemist program into something the country can be proud of again. Repair the damage that order 3066 caused. He’d need to talk to Alphonse.
“You know this means I’d hafta stay enlisted ev’n after we git our bodies back, right? You’d - you’d trust us with sum’hin’ like that? Sum’hin’ that big?”
You're pretty fun to hang around with. I also think you're pretty cute. I hope we know each other better and better. ♡ (message to spark bit!)
tell my muse what your muse thinks of mine on anon! Anything goes!
"Hn..." He felt his core flutter as he read those mysterious words. Someone that thought he was cute and fun to be around? He crossed his arms. "Psh, of course I'm cute and fun to be around! Obviously!" Then he held the confession a little closer. "Well, whoever you are, I've got plenty of stories, and I want to get to know you too."
"Although you weren't around when I needed you, you showed up in the end. I am a changed Cybertronian, but I think we both are, even if I no longer go by the name you gave me. I missed you and I'm glad to have you back despite it all. Love you."

This note... Brainstorm held this note tight in his servos, trembling. He had to sit and pinch the bridge of his nasal ridge. He knew who this was from. How they got it to him, he would probably not know for a very long time. He closed his optics, though, and relaxed some. They really didn't hate him. They still loved him.
"I love you, too. I've been a terrible show of it, but you've meant the world to me. I promise to be a better sire going forward." He sighed. How did he even begin to make it up to the one he'd once called his own. "Thank you for giving me another chance."
