"Got some unexpected time off, someone fucked up, and until they fix the problem, we're off duty; they didn't say exactly how long, so I'm taking that it's probably going to be a week at least, so I figured I'd come home and see you. Kind of getting tired of Washington and all that damn rain, I would've said something but I wanted it to be a surprise" Vergil said as he hugged Henley back. "So, surprise!"

⭐️ for Raven and Kiara

@carrerak

For Each “⭐️” I Get, I’ll Write A Headcanon About Our Muses

Raven met Kiara through JJ, and what should’ve been a casual introduction turned into an instant connection. They clicked fast—same sharp wit, same dry sarcasm, the kind of humor that either lands perfectly or completely throws people off. For Raven, that mattered. A lot. It’s not easy finding someone who can keep up with her, and Kiara? She doesn’t just keep up—she matches it. Both technically kooks, Raven still walks that fine line—too unpredictable, too wild to fully fit the label. She’s got that borderline pogue energy, the kind that leans toward chaos just for the fun of it.

And more often than not? Kiara’s right there with her. If Raven’s got an idea—especially a bad one—Kiara’s usually not far behind, either enabling it or improving it. There’s very little hesitation between them when it comes to stirring the pot.

And JJ? Oh, he suffers for it. The two of them love teaming up to mess with him—quick comments, perfectly timed sarcasm, little jabs that get under his skin just enough. It’s relentless, but never mean-spirited. If anything, it’s their way of showing they care… even if JJ would strongly disagree.

Outside of the chaos, though, there’s a quieter side to their friendship.

Kiara trusts Raven in ways she doesn’t with most people—especially when it comes to things she actually cares about. Like her cooking. Raven’s the one she experiments on, trying out new recipes and ideas, knowing she’ll get an honest opinion every time.

Unlike JJ, who would eat literally anything put in front of him without a second thought.

On their own, they’re already a handful. Together? They’re a problem.

⭐️ for Isaiah and Kiara

@carrerak

For Each “⭐️” I Get, I’ll Write A Headcanon About Our Muses

Isaiah and Kiara are best friends—no qualifiers needed. Just pure, unfiltered chaos wrapped in loyalty.

They’ve been inseparable since they were kids, the kind of duo that doesn’t just match energy—they amplify it. When they’re together, it’s loud, unpredictable, and somehow perfectly in sync, like they operate on the same wavelength without even trying.

Isaiah is the definition of a pogue—rebellious, carefree, a little rough around the edges with that laid-back, almost hipster vibe. He doesn’t follow rules, doesn’t pretend to, and doesn’t care who has a problem with it.

But when it comes to Kiara? Different story.

He’s confrontational by nature, never one to back down, but the moment someone gives Kiara any kind of grief, it’s over. Words, attitude, whatever—it doesn’t matter. He’s stepped in more than once, and yeah, he’s thrown punches for her without a second thought.

And it goes both ways.

Kiara is just as protective of him, just as quick to stand her ground when someone comes at Isaiah sideways. They’re each other’s rock—no judgment, no hesitation, just trust that’s been built over years of knowing exactly who the other is.

People always assume there’s something more. That at any moment, they’ll cross that line.

They won’t.

There’s no tension, no “almost.” Just a friendship that works exactly as it is—solid, loud, and endlessly entertaining. They give each other hell on a daily basis, push each other’s buttons for fun, and somehow never get tired of it.

And when things at home get too much, Kiara knows exactly where to go. Isaiah’s place has always been open to her, no questions asked.

Out of all the guys in her life, he’s one of the very few who doesn’t get under her skin in the wrong way—one of the only ones she never has to second-guess.

Just Isaiah.

Her person in the most chaotic, unbreakable way possible.

⭐️ for Vergil and Kiara

@carrerak

For Each “⭐️” I Get, I’ll Write A Headcanon About Our Muses

Vergil has always been Kiara’s quiet “what if.” They’re only a year apart, and what started as a simple friendship grew naturally over time—easy conversations, familiar company, nothing forced. The only difference was that Kiara’s feelings ran deeper, something Vergil remained completely unaware of for a long while.

If anything, the distance only made it stronger. When Vergil left for the Navy, their time together became limited to short visits and whatever moments they could steal when he was back in town. But instead of fading, Kiara’s feelings settled in—steady, certain.

Eventually, she told him.

Fully expecting to be turned down, Kiara laid everything out, ready to accept it and move on if she had to. What she didn’t expect was Vergil actually considering it—really thinking about it—and deciding to give it a chance. That’s how they ended up here.

Dating. Figuring it out. Taking it one step at a time. It’s not easy. His career keeps him moving, constantly coming and going, never staying long enough for things to feel stable. But when he is there, he makes it count.

Vergil isn’t loud about how he cares, but it shows in everything he does. He’s protective in a quiet, controlled way—until he isn’t. He avoids making scenes, but if something crosses a line, he won’t hesitate to step in.

And when he comes back into town, he likes to keep it quiet—turning it into a surprise just for her, asking everyone else to keep his return under wraps so he can see her reaction for himself. Those moments? They mean everything.

When they get time alone, it’s easy. Natural. Like they’re just picking up where they left off every single time. But they both know what they’re working with.

The relationship is still new, and with Vergil’s path in the Navy, nothing about it is simple. So they’ve made a choice—to take things slow. No rushing, no pressure, no trying to force something into a timeline that doesn’t fit their reality.

Just… them. Figuring it out as they go, holding onto the moments they do get, and making sure those are enough.

⭐️ for Ellis and Kiara

@carrerak

For Each “⭐️” I Get, I’ll Write A Headcanon About Our Muses

Ellis and Kiara’s friendship started over something completely ridiculous—and somehow became unshakable because of it.

Back in elementary school, some clueless boy proudly claimed that both of them were his girlfriends. None of the three really understood what that even meant, but Ellis and Kiara didn’t hesitate. Without missing a beat, they teamed up and shut it down immediately—no confusion, no hesitation, just two girls united in mutual annoyance.

That moment should’ve been nothing. Instead, it became everything.

From that day on, they stuck together. What started as a shared “absolutely not” turned into years of friendship built on sharp wit, quick comebacks, and a near-zero tolerance for idiotic boys—except, of course, the very select few they actually care about.

Ellis, without even realizing it at the time, ended up bridging another connection too—introducing Kiara to Kyle, her childhood best friend. What could’ve just been overlap turned into its own friendship, something Ellis now finds quietly amusing.

As they’ve grown up, their bond has only deepened. Ellis, chasing her dream of becoming a fashion designer, often turns to Kiara for honest opinions and creative input. Kiara doesn’t sugarcoat anything—and that’s exactly why Ellis trusts her. Every now and then, Ellis has even pulled Kiara in as a model, something the two of them have unexpectedly come to love.

It’s their thing—built on honesty, creativity, and the same energy that started it all:

“If it’s stupid, we’re shutting it down together.”

⭐️ for Kyle and Kiara

@carrerak

For Each “⭐️” I Get, I’ll Write A Headcanon About Our Muses

Kyle and Kiara aren’t exactly close, but they’ve known each other for years through Ellis, Kyle’s best friend growing up. Over time, though, they’ve built a friendship that exists outside of him—something easy, unforced.

Kiara respects Kyle in a way she doesn’t with most guys. He’s different. He doesn’t push, doesn’t expect anything, doesn’t blur lines. Compared to the kind of men she’s used to dealing with, he’s a rare exception—one of the few she actually trusts. As she’s put it more than once, he’s “the one good apple in a pretty rotten bunch.”

Whenever she ends up at his bar, Kyle keeps an eye out for her without making it obvious. If someone gets too close, too pushy, too comfortable, he handles it—calm, effortless, and without turning it into a scene. It’s just something he does.

They don’t spend a lot of time together outside of that, but Kiara’s been meaning to change that. There’s a comfort there she doesn’t get often, and she knows it.

What she does find funny, though, is Kyle’s habit of teasing JJ—especially about the idea of him and Kiara hooking up. Kyle knows exactly what he’s doing, fully aware JJ has a thing for her. But it’s all talk, just a way to get under JJ’s skin.

Because the truth is, Kyle has never seen Kiara that way—not once. There’s no underlying tension, no “what if,” no almost-romance. Just a solid, genuinely platonic friendship built on mutual respect… and a little bit of harmless chaos.

"What are you five? We're not in preschool anymore, JJ. Then again, the jury is out on that one when it comes to you," Raven teased.

Raven laughed, but then got serious. "I'm having a get-together, friends only, and I need my uncle's grill and someone who actually knows how to grill. Help a girl get a grill that shit weighs more than me, and I refuse to break my new nails."

"You think I planned this, JJ, as if I knew exactly where you were when this all happened, I was honestly gonna just grab some random guy, kiss them and pay them off and go about my business but I'd take you over some random guy who would probably catch feelings after I kissed them," Raven said as she settled in and looked at the menu.

"Besides, don't you hate onions or Is that John B? I can't remember."
