   He’s got a pen out and twirling between his fingers, eyes down and focused on the paper he’s grading so he doesn’t notice the other coming up behind him. It’s not until the weight of Xiaolang’s arm is coming down like a comfortable blanket on his shoulders that Heather registers that someone is there with him and startles just a little bit.   “Whoa! I’m grading pap--” he starts to say something that will deter someone who may be just weird but then he sees who it is. “Oh it’s you. Hey man, what’s up?”    Professor Rhodes visibly relaxes and reaches to pull one of the ears of his headphones slightly off his ear to hear better. When he does for just a second the sounds he is listening to can be heard; soft whale noises before he taps at the side of the headphones and they cease. “What did you need?”

♡ hugging

kind gesture meme: no longer accepting

The sound of someone sitting next to her on the park bench caused the doctor to begrudgingly look up from her book. Brown hair curtained her vision for a moment before she tucked it behind her ear and found Xiao sitting next to her. She couldn’t help but give him a small smile before slipping her bookmark into her book, hesitant to pause where she’d left off but happy to see a friend she hadn’t spoken to in a while. 

“Hey there stranger. It’s been too long.” When he opened his arms to gesture for a hug, Krystal was happy to oblige as she wound her arms around him in a warm hug. After a moment the two pulled away and Krystal tilted her head slightly in question. “What was that for? You miss me that much?”

good trouble | xiaolang & hotaru

@mp-xiaolang As soon as he's a good distance away from Sakura and he's sure that no one's following after him, he takes off running for his apartment. The young man doesn't stop for anything or anyone, instead only shouting out careless greetings and goodbyes at any of the friends he comes across. Only offers them half-baked excuses while still sprinting away, his backpack clutched to his chest almost suspiciously. If anyone knew Hotaru well, they'd think he was up to no good, and in a way, he was. But at the same time, he wasn't.

Hotaru liked to believe that he was an upstanding citizen. He wasn't fond of lying, stealing, or cheating, and didn't actively go out of his way to cause trouble. However, there were times where his moral compass skewed itself for the greater good. And did the greater good involve pre-meditated dog napping an obviously neglected and suffering pup from a customer at Sakura? Well, today it did and Jennie could never find out about it.

As soon as he gets into his apartment, he slams the door shut behind him, makes sure it's locked, and leans back against it, gulping down as much air as he can manage. Once he's got his wits together, he makes a beeline for his bedroom and shuts the door behind him once more, getting to his knees and carefully setting his bag down. "I'm so so sorry about that..." he apologizes gently as he unzips his backpack to reveal a whimpering puppy. "No, no, don't be scared- I'm a friend!" He chirps as he fishes another dog treat out of his pocket and holds it out as an offering to the pup with a hopeful smile.

He watches carefully as the puppy sniffs at his hand tentatively and grins when it goes for the treat, happily yipping at him once it's gone. "You're such a good boy!" The demigod all but coos as he pets the pup gently, not wanting to startle it again. In the process, he grabs his phone out of his back pocket and carefully dials a number without looking away from the animal. As soon as he hears a greeting on the other end of the line, he speaks again. "Hey Xiao!" He greets brightly, as if he hadn't just committed a crime. "I need some advice... Legal advice to be exact."

❝ Baby, It’s cold outside ❞

“It’s cold-!” Wukong wines from within the confines of his thick, goose-down long puffer jacket, bobbly knitted hat and scarf wound several times around his neck and chin. “I’m not an arctic monkey!” He continues before letting out another shudder and sinks further down into the warmth of his winter accessories. Under mittens his hands were clutched tight, and he considers shifting into his more monkey form, just to grow some fur and be rid of this chill! Then again, there was his tail to worry about and having trapped it in a door not too long ago the last thing he wants is to lose it to frost bite! 

“Rainforests, the tropics!” He continues to complain, as he crunches through the snow after the far too energetic demigod, wobbling, all huddled up as he goes. “Can’t you play with Tao instead?” He huffs, thinking his son, with his mortal half, much better suited to not only this horrid frozen water business, but also demigod frivolity!

❝ Carol of the Bells ❞

It was meant to be a nice, fun walk in the park but - goodness - Aura wondered how she often got into these situations. She and Xiaolang were just passing the fountain, admiring how the trees had been decorated with lights, when they were suddenly pulled into an impromptu choir. She stared back at him wide-eyed, not quite sure what to do except to sing along in her shy, soft voice.

👁️ : your muse is watching mine sleep , when my muse suddenly wakes up & catches them . 🔁

"Hi. Do you feel okay???"

Most likely a disorienting sight to behold, Jinsoul peered down at the stranger, eyes wide and concerned. Her water bottle was leaving wet condensation on his forehead and she felt a little bad about it, but here they were with no ice pack and no phone so she figured it was the best course of action.

"I think someone robbed you~"

Sounding a little too chipper when supplying the explanation she sat back on her heels so that he might sit up and inspect the way his things had been scattered around and his pockets turned inside out.

"A group of people was here, but they ran when I came over... does your head hurt? I bet it does- it looked like a pretty hard wack. I don't have my phone... so i'm glad you woke up. I was afraid to leave you."

What an awful time to not have a cooler power. If only she had been able to glue their feet to the concrete or something before they ran off.

On a scale from 1 - 10 how sad do you think people would be if Willis just, mysteriously vanished one day? Asking for a friend.

“Wow, I don’t peg you as someone who would threaten to make people disappear, Xiaolang.”

  It’s in his hair and running down the front of his shirt as it drips bright orange down along his form. Damnit! He had been repainting the sign he hung up that says they are having a date day special at his restaurant. The sight of it running down the front of his body would make him irate any other day but in light of all the things that have already spun so far out of control, Dakota has a very unexpected reaction.

  For a moment he just stares at it as a glob drops onto the clean shiny black top of his boot then looks up at the person watching the minor disaster unfold. His shoulders start to shake as he laughs. It’s quiet at first then grows in sound. Of course, this would happen to him now! Why would the stars above go easy on him at all? He tosses his head back and laughs before he kicks the paint bucket.

  “Whatever man, whatever,” his thick American accent is there as he passive aggressively blows off the universe and all its little signs. He really should have just stayed home for the day.
