“klee?” albedo called out as the door which moments before had been locked was opened, a slightly concerned note to his voice that would normally be rather uninterested.
the genius alchemist had been informed by sucrose about klee getting into trouble again when he stepped back into the city to pick up a few supplies as well as submit a few reports. if he wished to continue doing research unhindered then the least he could do was turn in some evidence that he’s doing things that are useful.
instead of taking off against after speaking with jean, the geo user found himself hovering outside the door he knew he would find his sister. he was, of course, in agreement with the acting grand master that klee shouldn’t be causing things to explode so close to the city. ruining the population of fish in the lake was probably.. not useful. but he disagreed when it came to the punishment the young girl was given.
it’s not right to continue to stunt her growth with her vision and abilities. never mind the fact she’s still so young and albedo would disliked how this would upset her.
hence why he’d decided to break in. “seeing are you are not busy, would you like to accompany me on some research?” he questioned, hands resting on his hips as he gazed at the girl.
it's been a whirlwind, recording the album and hitting the charts - then taking to the road for a country-wide tour. every show they played for the first week and a half, jack felt a fire within him like never before. he almost didn't want to shower off the sweat from the sets - deep down, he was worried the cold shock of the water would wake him. that this was all a dream. he did shower, of course - he tried hugging on their keyboardist and was immediately shunned for the stink. he had laughed like a madman - louder than he'd laughed in so long, that's how blissful the tour made him feel - and then took to the tub.
by the end of the month, life on the road revealed itself as a far less glamorous reality than it appeared to the band at the beginning. all squished together in that tiny RV, only to unload in tiny towns for a few hours - the length of their new album and some of their old classics. fast food and bar food and lots of drinking. seriously, lots. it was all starting to get a bit... tired. they all were tired. jack missed his bed in his tiny studio apartment more than he ever thought he would. and their manager was starting to take notice of the low morale.
their manager's remedy to the band's burnout had taken a romantic approach: the ever-so-classic 'return to nature'.
in the critically acclaimed pieces of the genre, going out into the wilderness always recharged the protagonists and gave them a new outlook on life - so why not try it out themselves? who knew, maybe some new songs could come from this little endeavor? at least, that's what their manager had teasingly told them before calling off a few dates on their last week and careening them into the closest national park.
the only thing this solution wouldn't solve were the steadily developing feelings jack felt for fuchsia. being in the same group meant than any escape from the rest of the world only meant running faster toward each other - and for once, he didn't know if he could face the music.
the RV sat, headlights dim and engine quiet, in the backdrop with the dozens of tall trees. cicadas chirruped noisily around them, thrumming like some ancient bass line for the world's oldest open-air event. jack stood and stretched, his spine popping - he gave a sigh of relief.
looking up at the sky unburdened by city smog, he could see every star in the blue velvet matte of the evening. "wow," he said gently, just barely above a whisper. "it really is beautiful out here. maybe we could write a song or two.."
as the yuheng of the liyue qixing, keqing has gathered a vast amount of information and knowledge of all sorts about the land, her home. something she prides herself in quite a lot, believes she’s unrivalled when it comes to knowing each nook and cranny, each hidden spot. much like she knows the people who reside in liyue, has gotten at least acquainted with ninety percent of them.
surprise colors her expression when a certain person greets her sight at liyue harbor, a . . . child? a child she does not recall seeing around. the clothes she dons don’t look of any kind the residents of liyue tend to sport, either. confused, curious and mostly worried why a girl of her age has been wandering around by herself, the woman of nobility moves closer.
“ excuse me, young one, ” she greets, hands hanging by her sides. “ do you happen to be in the company of guardians? anyone to take care of you? you seem to have travelled from far away. ”
SEND A SHIP ??? NAMHO... SUNGNAM... also i looked on his profile tag urself im "complicated w namsoo"
@moxle.
gives nose/forehead kisses
sungho is SO into forehead kisses, it’s his signature move of “hello, i love you” he used to randomly give his siblings some to remind them he loves them when he got busy, and unconsciously he’d probably do it a lot with namsoo once he gets comfortable with him and their arrangement. after they enter the fwb stage, he’d probably kiss him goodnight on the nose and/or forehead, or if they’re sitting watching something, he might think something is funny and just do it outta reflex ?? especially because he’s shorter than namsoo and it !!! annoys him so he does it as much as he can. a dumb softie …. nose kisses, i bestow this upon namsoo since idk i just see this happening in my head ?? also forehead, because he has that little height advantage … this is a tough one.
gets jealous the most
hmm honestly i think both of them are the jealous type HAHA but maybe i’m biased when i say sungho ?? because GOD even when they haven’t gotten together, once he realizes how he’s feeling, he’s going to be so irrationally angry and not understand why he’s feeling the way he is and !!!!!!
picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive
sungho is a responsible drunk on the most part, and would definitely not let namsoo drive himself if he was even thinking of drinking that night, or would rather pick him up than telling him to get a ride himself — even when they’re in the “hate” stage or when they fight, he’d show up and wait outside for him jbhdb
takes care of on sick days
sungho is SO needy when he gets sick and needs a lot of attention, so he would crave it from namsoo … forced to take care of him, but we know if sungho needed help, namsoo could never ignore !!!!!
drags the other person out into the water on beach day
sungho, an avid beach boy.
gives unprompted massages
i can definitely see sungho giving namsoo impromptu massages in hopes things get nsfw quickly HAHA massage -> sex is definitely a mindset he has
drives/rides shotgun
sungho: im too gay to drive
jokes, but namsoo driving and sungho driving shotgun is probably most sensible since sungho probably sits on his phone and then annoys namsoo about going to x place or fiddles with the radio, but he’d also be down to drive if he had to ( also because even though he likes driving, he’d take the opportunity to just stare at namsoo and take in how beautiful he is )
brings the other lunch at work
honestly, i can see both of them doing this ?? like, maybe namsoo a little more so …. but sungho definitely keeps namsoo in mind a lot and worries whether or not he ate once the thought pops into his head and then might bring him something and make up an excuse saying he was in the area and thought he’d pick up something, or was already at lunch and decided to bring something for the other too ( or if it’s a group thing, he’d get it for everyone under pretenses )
has the better parental relationship
HMMM i’m gonna say sungho just because he is such a family man, he loves them all so much and even though its been a little distant since they lost his older brother, he loves his parents and all they’ve done for him
tries to start role-playing in bed
SUNGHO !!!!! a kinky little fucker
embarrassingly drunk dancer
n a m s o o.
still cries watching titanic
i’m very eyes emoji @ namsoo for this ….. sungho says he thinks its dumb but he’ll still get the tiniest bit teary, not that he’d admit it
firmly believes in couples costumes
i’m inclined to say namsoo.
breaks the expensive gift rule during christmas
i want… to say namsoo for some reason… i’m gonna say sungho was shit at gifts at first and it took him a while to get into the groove of figuring out what namsoo likes. then sungho would probably spoil namsoo after they’re together, because this fool puts thought into his gifts and wants namsoo to know he loves him even though he’s a lil shit who gets on his nerves all the time
makes the other eat breakfast
sungho is shit at staying healthy and taking care of himself, such as eating right and on time, or sleeping enough at night, so namsoo ( esp since he was his roommate for so long ) nagging him could be a thing, telling him to take better care of himself. sungho, at some point, probably attempted breakfast in bed after they get together though, but he’s too lazy to keep it up
remembers anniversaries
vocally ?? i’d say namsoo, probably constantly reminds sungho of what’s coming up thinking he doesn’t remember, however, sungho actually keeps all the dates in mind and mentally prepares for them but he won’t ever tell namsoo he does because he’s embarrassed / doesn’t want to admit how soft he is
brings up having kids
sungho, being from a large family and the im’s having large # families through generations, definitely loves kids so much and would probably bring them up a lot, not even realizing what he’s implying ( like, at some point he switched from saying “my kid” to “our kid” unconsciously and then he realizes at a random point of time, like in the middle of the nights and proceeds to freak the fuck out for a min )
“Do that one more time, I am going to cut your hands without doubt.“ He inspired in annoyance at the other. All he wanted was a resting time that the busy streets could not offer which is why he made the place as his retreat and not anger-inducing abode. All and all, only his forehead was frowning and no muscles were relaxing.
