Ability Check Meme!i got this 3 separate times i love you all💋 - kissing

✧ There’s a pattern going on here. Vishnal feels almost sheepish, a flush to his cheeks as he ponders yet again-- how good would he be at such a thing? It’s never happened, and time will tell if it ever will. He shouldn’t be worrying about that stuff, right? He has work to do.

✧ But he’s also rather... embarrassed, by it all. He’s been teased too much by his siblings to not be.

✧“Erm... you can’t be very good at something you’ve never done... right?”

forte-days-and-knights‌:

He had a good point. If someone wanted to do something nice for their friends, who was she to stop them? Of course, she noticed a bit of hesitation in the other’s voice. The way he said it reminded her of when her mom used to tell her she could go train after cleaning her room. Like doing a chore.

With a bit of a huff, Forte stooped down to pick up some of the jacks. Her intention was not actually to clean up after those kids, but maybe she could convince the blue-haired boy he didn’t have to either.

“It’s nice of you to help, but do they always make you pick things up alone?” She looked up from the jacks for a moment before continuing, “my name is Forte, by the way, what’s yours?”

✧ Vishnal’s scooping jack after jack up when the girl-- Forte-- swoops in beside him, joining in. “Oh, no-- you don’t have to,” he says, ready to get her to walk away any second afterward, but having help and company makes the boring task a little better. He doesn’t have to hum to himself for entertainment.

✧ “Uhm...” Do they always make him do this alone? No, wait-- “They don’t make me do anything... they just don’t join in.” Which sounds suspicious, he’ll admit it, but he’ll also ignore that. 

✧ He sits up, the jacks forgotten for a moment, and try to shake her hand. Polite, even if he’s just a child. “My name’s Vishnal! It’s nice to meet you-- th-thank you for helping me?”

Ability Check Meme!🚗 - driving a car

✧ Memories flash before his eyes. His father, sitting in the passenger’s seat, grinning at him and saying he’d do fine. Then that same voice yelling at him to never swerve for animals, just have faith while said father gripped at the handle up top, the large man absolutely trembling.

✧“Eheh, it’s been a while... and I was never really good at it to begin with.”

Ability Check Meme!👼 - babysitting

✧“Babysitting! I’m great at that!”

✧ Vishnal grins, absolutely beaming-- maybe it’s that sunshine energy that makes him so good at it, but... “I’ve been doing it ever since my oldest little brother was born! And now I work at the orphanages, so...” He winces at his own words, and scratches at his neck. “I don’t mean to brag, I really don’t-- but I think I’m pretty good at it.”

😈

Ability Check Meme!😈 - manipulating with others

✧“Manipulating people?”

✧ Vishnal frowns, then purses his lips in thought. No, he can’t think of a time he’s been manipulative, so he can’t really be good at it, right? “My mother used to say I’d have people falling over themselves for me– back when I was younger. But… I guess it came to be the other way around? I don’t want to be so… cruel. So I guess I’m not very good at it, heh.”

☄ – A long hug

✧ Vishnal’s still trying to shake off the effects of a busy week when he finds Yuzuki, waiting for a small break amidst the chaos. Coffee-- or was it tea? Juice? Just sweets? He vaguely remembers agreeing to come out for something, and he’s glad he’s made it on time, but for the life of him, he can’t remember what’s going on specifically.

✧ No, Vishnal is tired. It’s been what seems like forever since he’s been this exhausted-- perhaps because he found himself stumbling on some insomnia earlier this week. He tries to remember if he’s wearing makeup over the bags under his eyes, and fails.

✧ “Hello,” he murmurs, leaning in for some sort of hug for greeting, but really, he ends up staying there far longer than he intended, chin on Yuzuki’s shoulder, just... taking a breather.

✧ “‘M sorry... jus’ needed a hug.”

⊗ – A quick hug

It was work again at the orphanage today. The kids were scattered about and they had just recently broken up a fight between the children. While he loved them, children could be very scary at times. Still, it was so satisfying watching them grow and play together with smiles on their faces. It’s what makes his job worth it, in his opinion.

Vishnal had helped him today, as well. Yuzuki was always grateful for the man’s help, but today especially so. He worked well with kids– that must be because he’s used to helping out at home. He did have a big family after all. It was so natural, watching him talk to the other kids. It was something that he still had to work on, though watching him inspired him to do better.

“Thanks a lot,” Yuzuki said with a smile, pulling him into a brief hug. “You really helped a lot out there!”

✧ There are some days where Vishnal stays on Leuda far longer than intended to help the orphanage there with the children. If he’s staying on the island, he might as well make himself useful, right? And surrounded by children is basically his second way of life, considering he’s been running around with six younger kids (no, some are adults now and would be angry to be called children) chasing him.

✧ He’s grinning, just a little bit tired, when Yuzuki pulls him in, and he makes a soft, surprised noise before he realizes what they’re doing and hugs back, however brief it may seem. It’s an added bonus to the overall reward of a good day’s work.

✧ ... But, it’s sort of starting to sound like he’s on a sports team, and they just got back in from the field.

✧ “You’re welcome!” he says, urging himself to be polite instead of say, It was nothing, really! Because he knows that doing so will get him a reprimand for selling himself short. “It was my pleasure.”

☀ – A hug from behind

hug meme!!!!!!! (link not included because old meme)

✧ Vishnal’s one of the biggest fans of hugs that he knows-- though, who doesn’t like hugs, besides people who have clear and stern boundaries when it comes to their own personal space? To receive any hug is a blessing, in his eyes, and one that takes him off guard is no exception.

✧“Oof-!” He gasps a bit, twisting to see the mass of pink hair, and immediately laughs at the sight. 

✧“Piaaaa!” His arms come up over hers in as good a hug as he can reciprocate, the brightest of grins on his face. “Thank you so much! Ohh, I missed you!!!”

𝓻oommate 𝓬laws || clorica & vishnal

[vishoutofwater-blog]

anephemeralwish:

That was it. That was her cat. Clorica had strolled past a number of cats and kittens when her eyes landed on one in the corner of its cage. It was sleeping and just from that she felt a connection with it, but when it opened its eyes and looked at her, that’s when she really knew. There was something about this cat that drew her to it. Was it that it looked out of place amongst the others and that spoke to her on a personal level? Perhaps.

“I want that one. Can we see that one?”

She looked to Vishnal with serious eyes, not a trace of doubt in them, and asked him like he worked there. It was easier to ask him than one of the employees and his opinion on the subject was important to her. After all, they’d all be living together from today onward. 

[x]

✧ Goodness, that was quick-- but better in and out than spending two hours being indecisive and crying when they have to leave the other options behind (as Vishnal is absolutely certain would have happened on his side of things).

✧ “That one?” he muses, and leans in all his lanky form to get a better view of the small darling. “Ohhhhhhhhh my goodness, Clorica.” He reaches for her arm, as if he needs stabilization, and something like a squeak comes out of his mouth. “Of course. We can see that one, hold on.”

✧ “Excuse me?” For a man whose very being is slain by the variety of cats, his voice is oddly polite and stable as he asks an employee to aid them in meeting the fluffy baby. It’s not before very long that they’re settled with the cat eyeing them in one of the pet meeting rooms (which, honestly, aren’t really rooms but it does feel like the three of them are alone).

[vishoutofwater-blog]

forte-days-and-knights:

Forte’s little eyebrows furrowed as she looked from the boy to the other group playing in the park. It seemed pretty rude to her that they left him to go play. It was nice to offer, but it seemed like there should be a line. Perhaps his friends were just lazy though…

“Wouldn’t you like to go play as well?” Her expression softened as she looked at him, “It would take less time if they helped… are you sure they’re your friends?”

Forte had a tendency to say whatever thought was on her mind, not always realizing it might be insensitive. It was probably why she didn’t have many friends throughout her childhood, but she would rather not mince her words. Was it wrong to point it out though? It didn’t seem like a very nice thing for them to do. It looked like it would take a long time for him to pick all those up by himself.

✧ “I don’t mind,” Vishnal says, shrugging as he keeps scooping them into their good piles. It’s the automatic response, as he doesn’t want anyone to start thinking that his friends are lazy. He breezes past the are you sure part because, well, since when is a kid ever sure of anything?

✧ “It’s no problem if I want to do it, yeah? I can play afterward, then it’ll be... fine.” He doesn’t want to think about it too much-- it’s cleaning. Picking up. That stuff, that’s familiar, and he doesn’t feel like using any sort of critical thinking skills to analyze his behavior.

✧ “Thank you for your concern, though!”

𝓬atch 𝓾p || vishnal & alicia

[vishoutofwater-blog]

crystalball-predictions:

Alicia was doing what she did best while at the planetarium – not working. Early shifts were bittersweet. The crowds were small and there was less work to do, but she quickly grew bored. And being the woman she was, it showed in her face and with her attitude. Short answers and nothing more than a wave in the right direction was given to customers who stopped by to ask her questions. Lucky for her and her job, that’s the attitude that attracted people to her while she was on shift. And then people wondered why she tried to avoid idiotic crowds.

She sighed and looked over her freshly done nails when she heard a familiar voice chime through the doors. 

“Vishnal, darling~♡”

A smile appeared on her face and she suddenly didn’t look so bored. He was too sweet to be mad at for not visiting sooner. Surprisingly, he may be the one person she doesn’t mind hanging around her.

“It was dreadful. Much better now that you’re here~”

✧ “Dreadful?” Vishnal’s face almost comically drops into a pout for a brief moment, his shoulders slumping. “Well, I’m glad I could bring a bit of light to your day.” It’s nice, to hear he has that effect, though he’s not sure whether or not indulging in the perceived compliment is too prideful of him or not.

✧ “Is there anything I can do to make it even better? I didn’t just come by to say hello, after all.” No, he very specifically wants to catch up, and keeping himself busy while doing so is always a bonus. “Don’t expect me to start kicking people out... I’m not particularly in shape to be a bodyguard, yet.”

♫ – A hug while dancing

✧ They have yet to play their duet, but that doesn’t matter too much to Vishnal. Yuzuki’s company is lovely, music or not, and it’s not like they have to totally avoid music in the times that they do spend time together! Like right now, with faint music playing in the background as Vishnal approaches for another dance.

✧ Their motions for the “masquerade” had been anxiety-ridden and exhausting, at least in Vishnal’s experience. Being a teenager had ruined his entire psyche for the night, but now that he’s had the chance to recover and regain his lighter mind, he wants to try it once more. To make it up to himself and also Yuzuki, who (if he recalls correctly) had his own problems that night that made it harder to enjoy than usual.

✧ “May I?” he asks, and another gentle, but much more... free dance follows. Filled with slight conversation and humming along to the song before it inevitably ends. Normally, he would blush for being so forward, but they’ve done this before right? It’s alright.

✧ Hopefully.

✧   He doesn’t think Yuzuki is uncomfortable, but... “Pardon me if I was pushy,” he says, just to make himself feel better. I thought I wasn’t supposed to be so anxious anymore.

✧ And, well, anxiety can have physical side-effects, though this is... less conventional. He teeters, having leaned too far with the music, and lets out a little cry of surprise as he tries to catch himself. Cheeks flaming, he breathes a sigh of relief when he realizes he didn’t just trip and fall on even ground, and looks back-- up? -- at Yuzuki. “Sorry!”

✧ I thought I was taller than this. But, apparently in his fall, he had reached out to the nearest entity capable of steadying him, which was Yuzuki. So Vishnal is, uh, clinging to him, back awkwardly bent like the baby giraffe he apparently is.

✧ Okay, I can say this is a hug, right? He rights himself, straightening his shirt. “Heh.”
