Pookie anon again YEEEOWW 😛😛 ty for answering my ask!!! Karma is so cute-iful I love him so much but also I wanna throw a hammer at him cause I can’t have him looking through my phone and finding my ao3. ALSO one ☝️ more question if you would so permit…. Idk if Karma has gone to college, I can’t find much on it, but if he did go, what would be his major?? As a recent STEM grad I’m biased towards saying he gives off real physical therapy or nutrition energy with his insistence on cooking for us and taking care of us ☝️🤓 but also he kinda feels like a comp sci guy specifically with data analysis/entry due to how thorough his stalking is,,,,
SORRY FOR ANOTHER LONG ASK 🏃♀️or rev wha or however the French people say goodbye
YEEEOOOWWWW ! !! ! !! And no problem, pookie <3
And real, Karma is a huge favorite both on the blog and in my life...we're such freaks, aren't we?
Also not going to lie, Karma doesn't shame AO3 fanfics. He doesn't mind you talking about your favourite characters because they don't exist. Not in this world, at least. Whether it is an actor or actress playing the role, he knows that the role doesn't exist. He's not that erratic.
Oh, Anon. Know that you can send me questions. I love them. A lot TEEHEE
ALSO I LOVE LONG ASKS DON'T WORRY SKSKSKSKSKSKSK
Ok so, Karma has never been to college, because he got a one-on-one top-notch homeschool education. Professionals from various walks of life taught him various subjects, which is why he's able to pick up or speak languages fluently. He also had to learnt finance, accounting, literature, history, law, physical combat, psychology and many more as he was next in line. And to be a leader of such a clandestine organisation, Karma had to be both mentally and physically strong.
But it was a lot of pressure, and took most of his childhood away, especially in his upper teenage years. Very rarely was he able to communicate with his brothers, so he'd often sneak out or stay up late at nights to make sure they were okay, and to see how they were doing. As he became more confident, he kept doing it until he was caught. Which, expectedly, angered T'Abuelo and got him severely punished.
So in the case of nutrition and computer programming, it is actually more of a hobby that blossomed in his years when he was the leader of the Sangres before escaping it entirely. He considers these hobbies therapeutical, and also challenging - as those were the subjects that had the least pressure.
In terms of the rest of their brothers:
Kallisto started with top-notch education but due to his tumor his lessons significantly dwindled. As a way to "ease his mind", he was sent to private school to continue his studies. However he skipped a lot of classes lol
Karma's 3rd brother was in the exact same program, but had to stop due to finances.
Karma's 4th brother didn't have the chance to get into the program due to finances, so they went to public schools. Same for the 5th.
If he was able to choose a major I'd think he would go for Nutritional Sciences, Woodworking and Leatherworking and Upholstery. He'd say it's "nothing too big" or "it's pretty chill" .
but yah pookie ! ! ! ! ! ! au rev wha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tail is a whip and their magic is linked to floods and metamorphosis of nature.
They eat hunters and racists.
They hid in the mangroves and reeds.
Ambush humans.
Loves the locals hates strangers and influencers that litter and poke at nutria or baby manatees when a storm displaces their young wild critters.
Worshiped by the small knit women leaders of the town that suffered segregation and red lining from bad old men that got rich off of the fur trade and now golf ⛳️ country clubs and selling people that southern coastal town in a bayou area.
New Orleans flair but run down by mother nature and my ocs hatred for colonization bastards.
Sick!
Also here, a present :3
Below, you will see description of their OC that Anon gave in my inbox - which I will copy here. Underneath you will see a key and a GREATLY summarized version of my development process:
Green = What I did well through the process to the T
Orange = What I felt like I didn't emphasis on, or got lost in the final version
Black = (Unfortunately) did not implement
Southern gothic (East Texas)
Cannon Black hair style like twists and cat tail imagery
Crocodile 🐊 eyes
Bones
Meat 🍖 mystery
Light brown, mud green, light magnolia flowers.
Nature folk vibes
Scales of a water moccasins
Flood water
Deep bark brown skin
Eyes 👀 beady orange eyes
Strong jaw card
Muscular legs.
Padded claw arms.
Slight chubby eats a lot.
Defined nose
Light outfit
Netting and moss
Ok so when I was first started this, I had to immediately draw up a Pinterest board, or a rough mood board to start.
Note that this is a very basic scope of the mood board. Hence, I decided to group the most significant inspirations and references here:
When grouping my ideas I thought of the following:
Androgynous in both design and shape, as this character uses they/them pronouns
TALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL or taller than Kallisto for SURE (he's a short king)
Strong arms
Moss acting as a frilly leather boot -> link
Dried leaves acting as padded arms -> link
Torn shirt to indicate the character's origin (Texas)
Net/Nets to act as a made-up strap to keep the shirt
To have bones on their tail to indicate their pride
Crocodile legs to further indicate their crocodile roots (see above)
Ideas that I most definitely wanted to keep:
"Cat tail" imagery, Cannon black hair
Dark/Bark brown skin tone - I'm aware that this was probably an unintended error, but I decided to run with it and use trees to pick out their skin tone!
Strong jaw, defined nose, orange beady eyes
Crocodile bones
Muscular legs - HAD TO ! ! !!
Ideas that I struggled to add in:
Meat / Mystery??? - I wasn't entirely sure how to add meat, and looking it up made me uncomfortable over time. I'm not sure why, but I'm very sorry for not including it.
Bones - I realized that over time the bone thing on the tail would be meticulous and inpratical, so I was thinking of placing it in their pockets, their moss frills (?), and on their stomach, but I couldn't find a way to place it somewhere in the end. And the saddest thing that when writing this post is that I could've REALLY put it in their hair!!!!!!!!
Flood water - I think this required an environment, which I couldn't do since I had to speedrun this 😭 (dying).
Nature folk vibes - I grouped net and moss as seawater, aquatic themes rather than nature folk. So as a result I don't believe I hit the mark on the vibes.
Slightly chubby - Honestly this is the one I'm most disappointed about. I can do heavy chunk, and little chunk, but struggled with mid chunk. In the final design, i do not consider this interpretation chubby, so I felt like I lose the mark here as well.
Challenges:
Dark skin tone - Even though I have been doing them lately (Karma's cousins), but I was struggling here as this character required regular lighting, not dynamic lighting. So I searched the Internet for some advice here and there and I think it really popped as a result!!! However, but making it pop I also lost the Cannon black hair 😭🙏 forgive me Cryptic anon 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
Character's shape and size - Originally I had the character pretty huge and tall, but I felt like I didn't have a solid goal in mind - which kept making me lose more and more of their essence and androgyny in the finalized version:
3a - I honestly had no clue where this came from and I thought it looked great.
3b - I was in rush to have an idea of what their outfit would look like. But this ultimately contributed to the final.
Final - A culmination of 3a and 3b, which I felt left the original form and the slightly chubby shape of 1 and 2. I also think that I was focused on the poise of the character, as I wanted to highlight their personality rather than their shape, which could explain why I lost it over time.
But overall, I think I did a pretty good interpretation of your OC. While I did use my creative license, I hope that if I do draw them in the future, I'll be more on the nose next time. They also seem badass and pretty cool :D
Also Kallisto isn't as horny as Karma, but seeing this MC would make him F O L D (if the mermaid clothing wasn't enough). Guy would legit make a fuss and then summon your OC just to say "take me with you" type shit and genuinely ask his brother to have their hand in marriage, even though they both know he isn't responsible enough to do that 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
And for a little tidbit I DID reference the images in this post to highlight how submissive and breedable this man is. I kid you not his unhinged lines would go like:
"get me pregnant, and make me fatherless" - in the most serious tone you can imagine, full-ass frown and glare (imagine the "locked in" meme)
"plz eat me" - because he literally wants to be inside you ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Other than his close friends, he would just send human sacrifices once per month
Insert him doing swimming lessons again 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's moving. El Salvador to Texas here we COME
Gobble up water to see if he could breathe thru his "gills" ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Moana type shit - "I can hear them, they're calling to me"
If anyone asks where he's going, he would say it's his burial place before casually going there (and he would do this VERY often)
"He's not a part of the town" JOKES HE IS NOW AND HE WILL PREACH IT
He would, for the first time, pray to God to be a mermaid or part of your OC's hair in the next life (or in his current life)
And yah that's all I can think of 😂😂😂😂😂😂 lol. But I hope you liked the design. ily Anons i swear on my patatas fritas ebwhdncn x<3xoxoxoxo
HIIII idk if this has been asked before it probably has you,,, if it has you can blow me up 🧎♀️💥,,, it’s all based off the Mother’s Day post rofl
1. in the Mother’s Day post it had karma saying he monitors everything we do/everything pertaining to us, how far does he go to keep that from us?
2. He is said to be monitoring our parents, does he reach out to them at all or interact with them in any way without us there?
3. And if we were to find out how much he’s watching us and we are not into (not saying I’m not 😛), how far would he be willing to go to try and diffuse the situation?
First of all Anon - no! No one has asked these questions!!!!! SO NO, you will NOT GET BLOWN UP BUT YOU HAVE MY TOKEN OF APPRECIATION BC HEBFWNFNERNRFE YOU'VE TAKEN YOUR TIME TO TYPE THIS ASK I AM SO SOS SO SOS OS SOKSOS GRATEFUL HUZZAH ! ! ! ! ! ! !
(1) To an extreme degree. Karma has always played the fool, and ensures that your relationship stays that way. He doesn't disclose information that you haven't revealed throughout your relationship, and I'd even say he has a record to review such information. He rehearses it in his head before you wake up, when you're completely out of earshot and have a line of sight. This also includes when you both have your silent moments. But if there's one thing he will never do - or prays that he doesn't do - is fuck up. Because he knows that once a line is crossed, there is no way of going back, especially if your response to his infatuation is rejection (understandably so).
(2) In truth, him observing your parents is not as meticulous nor as active as you think. This is also dependent on the state of the parent.
Say, if one of your parents were incapacitated - Karma would actually be a lot more riskier in his observation. He'd actively go to the location while you're fast asleep and knocked out. He's not a fan of sleeping pills, so Karma would do everything in his power to either (a) fuck you silly or (b) make you do strenuous tasks that tire you out or (c) make excuses such as: "Sorry Xax, can't make breakfast today" or "I overslept. I'm so sorry!" and such. He'd try not to do it as often, but I don't think he'd be able to stop himself - as his empathy would get the best of him (which would make him slip up).
If your parents were fine - Karma would do a simple run-over of your (group)chats and phone calls. He'd also keep an eye on your parents' employers every now and then. But his main priority would be you.
(3) It depends on how confident you are.
If you're timid or unsure - He'll ease in to that uncertainty and explain himself with more lies. His gaslighting would be smooth, silent, and deadly.
If you're confident and won't gaslight yourself - THEN Karma would freak out. If there's one thing he cannot beat, is intuition, especially if it's backed up by evidence. He knows that lying would make things worse, and silence would do the same. So he only knows what he can.
Knock you out, and keep you locked.
And once he finishes those tasks, then he'll physically freak out. Nails biting, yanking his hair, screaming, crying. To know that he can no longer be your ideal boyfriend, a lover that you would want to marry and hold to for life, would absolutely crush him. He has to throw away a love that no longer exists.
But once he accepts it, he'll go cold. He'll be strict and ruthless on you. He'll use your parents, friends - anything as a bargaining chip. And if you somehow forget? He wouldn't go back to happy, chill Karma. Because he knows that the human mind eventually remembers, hence his bad endings here.
But what happens if you're down with that? If you're just as obsessed as him?
Woah, woah, woah, woah - he did NOT see that coming. He'd freak out, and just outright say that "He needs time to process" lol. Karma would then go in his bed, and just get a good night's sleep before waking up and having that discussion with you LMFAO. He'd then figure out what to do from there. But overall, he'd be happy to know that he doesn't need to hide his past from you anymore.

I imagine that this is Aristotle's first time being at a brothel, much less performing on stage (against her will). I'll leave it up to your imagination how the rest of that went.
Can we learn about some fun facts Aristotle if you haven’t already? Like her hobbies, what she does in her daily life, etc. please and thank you if you can! Love your oc’s just came across this page :)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thank you so much Anon! Giving you a billion hearts. And welcome!!!! Enjoy your stay on my dorky website <3
Fact 1: Aristotle has a mouth on her right knee, and names it Chamomile. Her mouth is not 100% sentient.
Fact 2: Aristotle loves calligraphy, and the many styles that come with it. She is also very specific on the ink and parchment she uses, and in her spare time, she teaches children to read and write.
Fact 3: Aristotle loves traveling! But she doesn't like traveling by plane. So she normally stays within Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Fact 4: Aristotle's aunt is named Narkai. Here's what she looks like:
Fact 5: She likes rocking chairs. Mostly because of her mom normally cradled her in rocking chairs.
Fact 6: Aristotle is a very clean and orderly person. Whereas Karma enjoys a slight chaotic mess from time to time, Aristotle will not stand for it. It is quite a concerning habit.
Fact 7: Aristotle doesn't like paintings, since she used to stay and sit still for a long time (she was born before photography became a thing).
Fact 8: Aristotle doesn't like touching blood or handling blood. She only engages in blood if it means she gets to feed and aid her people.
Fact 9: Aristotle despises jewelry. She is a very superstitious person, and considers jewelry as a curse. She's also forced to wear jewelry, since she has to appease clients as a prostitute.
Fact 10: Aristotle considers nature as sacred. A lot of purebloods greatly respect their environment, and its normally tradition for them to consider animals and plants as signs and mediums to speak between worlds. In this case, Aristotle considers the environment as her way of speaking to her parents and people who've passed.
Fact 11: Aristotle strongly prefers live performances over recorded music. She feels that radios are a medium for spirits to pass through, and feels like music is a distraction or a barrier. She also feels like recorded music misses the warmth and sincerity that live performances have. Plus, she doesn't like it as a background noise as she doesn't want to lose the essence of the music being played. So in many cases she sits in silence (and also why she hates the brothel).
Fact 12: Aristotle ironically, enjoys sunlight! My guess is that she enjoys what she can't touch. But when it's sunlight, it means she can relax and take a rest. So she's come to appreciate it.
Fact 13: She is unsure about her feelings towards Kallisto. Kallisto has had a small crush on Aristotle since they were kids, and has been very confrontational about it. But Aristotle is not sure whether to be honest and put herself in more trouble, or play with his feelings. She prefers to pretend that it doesn't exist.
Fact 14: Aristotle has a rough idea of Karma's grandmother. T'Abuelo has done a lot to restrict and censor information about Karma's grandma as she is his greatest weakness. She is also key to how the Sangres became the way they were (ish). The only reason Aristotle even knows this is through her father, Adolophus.
Fact 15: Aristotle hates Karma's younger brothers. Specifically the 4th and 5th since they always made her cry when she was young.
Fact 16: She has a best friend within the brothel, Padmakshi! However, I just made her not too long ago lol so I'll get back to her story later.
But wow! I was really struggling with Aristotle on this one. At least these fun facts will give me some time to develop her character in the background.
It's a bit complicated! You see, he can be killed - he is just much harder to kill as he physically up to shape. So his physical weakness is similar to a muscular human with a little benefits here and there.
But mentally, well. His biggest weakness is his paranoia and overthinking. It's a double-edged sword; for when it is pushed to the extreme Karma can easily break down within seconds. Not even MC can get him when he's in that mood. So a lot of times he uses silence to calm his thoughts (hence why he's silent so often). There's also the fact that he hasn't really confronted his trauma, but has silenced it - which is the normal Sangre way of doing things lol.
I'd say that his bad ends are a prime example of him going insane. But other than that, I'm still working on the physical weaknesses on my end.
My 5’6 ass looking up at Karmas double D’s: I don’t know what your T’Abuelo has been feeding you but you are too damn big!
Speaking of relatives can you tell us about Karma’s aunts or uncles? 🥺🫙
WELL FIRST OFF - I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY AND SHIZ YAYYYYYYYYY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So I'm actually ready to post it (which might be long?) - but BEFORE I DO - I'll give you guys some teasers:
(1) Two of them have partly been mentioned on the blog! It's just been a long time ago.
(2) You and Karma will be going on a trip to Cuba! 😉
(3) There is a healthy family out of the bunch lol...
In terms of the extended family, it used to be BIG, since Karma's great-grandfather practically slept around. But that has dwindled severely thanks to T'Abuelo's influence lol. So the majority of the Karma's extended family consist of T'Abuelo's family (who are in-laws), while the minority are those who have pledged their allegiance to not overtake the throne.
But things have changed a lot since T'Abuelo passed.
There's also others who are titled "aunty" and "uncle" but are not so. It's pretty much allies or good friends/acquaintances but this has changed thanks to a new leader taking over. hehehehe
I actually haven't put much thought into the extended ones. But I know that they're all quite eager to become the big honcho of the Sangre family lololol.
WARNINGS: Very mild yandere behavior (possessive, obsessive). Otherwise the intention of this fic is to just establish more lore of my character.
It's Mother Day, and you're thinking of meeting your mother. But wait – doesn't Karma have a mother too?
𝖄ou felt a gentle kiss. A scarred hand. A warm hug.
“Morning Xaxi.”
You grumbled, as you got comfortable on your mauve, patterned couch. “...mmrning Karma.”
Your gaze became heavy, as you looked at the date. It was Sunday morning, 11:37 AM. Today’s forecast was sunny, albeit cloudy – but your temperament said otherwise. After all, Sunday was a warning sign, an auspice to the dreaded whirlwind that was Monday.
But maybe not all hope was lost. You could save the date with a little optimism, by “visiting your mother” your notifications said. You pursed your lips, uncomfortable at its humanly response. It was better to ask the human in the room.
“Karma McShawarma.” You began to laugh. “I need your advice.”
“Oh yeah?” His back was towards you, heating up your leftovers in the microwave. Normally, he would be more hands-on with your meals, but I suppose even he was tired from the long week.
“I’m all ears. Let’s see what Mr. Karma McShawarma can do.”
You scoffed, ducking your head in embarrassment. With what little energy you had, you placed your knees on the couch, your arms pressed against the back cushions.
“What do you think about us driving to my mom?”
Karma tensed, his burly arms clutching the ends of the kitchen island. “Depends. You’d think she’d approve of me?”
“With the way you spoil me?” You let out another scoff, plopping off the couch. “Damn right she’d approve.”
Karma reciprocated a chuckle, his arms stretched out wide as you went in for a hug. His body was warm, ticklish, and pleasant. Just as easily, you snuggled into his chest, while he planted a kiss on your forehead. “I just…It’s been a while, you know?”
His hands drew painfully slow circles along your back, as if deep in thought. You paused yourself, letting the silence flow.
Silence, as you’ve come to learn, was both an intentional and an instinctual part of Karma’s identity. Whilst previous partners weaponized their silence, Karma’s was…neutral, and even amicable at times. Often, many would comment that he was cheating on you, or that he was unsatisfied in the relationship. But when you shared your concerns, Karma simply shook his head.
“My silence is not my way of hurting you, (Y/N).”
“My silence is my way of reaching you.”
You’ve…never heard such a thing in your life.
But…it was…
Something new. A good kind of new.
“Xax…” Karma was stroking your hair, trying not to laugh. “You’re falling asleep.”
“Oh.” You haphazardly broke the hug; his chest was way too good of a pillow. “Sorry.”
“No worries. But remember…” He murmured, kissing both of your palms. “It’s completely up to you.”
You nodded, eternally grateful of how patient and caring he was. Just by the affection, you had almost forgotten the question that escaped your lips.
“Babes…sorry for the sudden change of topic.” Your eyes focused on the microwave. “But what was your mom like?”
“My mom?” He laughed nervously.
Don’t let them know.
“I told you, my parents died in a gas explosion.” He paused, as if testing the words out. It’s been a while since he lied to you. “You know, poor plumbing practices.”
“But…” You sighed. “I’m sure that even in your teens you would’ve known them, right?”
“Unless you’re…hiding something from me?”
This was it; he knew that this was your breaking point. Any further deflections would cause you to investigate - which would inevitably put you in danger.
“....Well…” He went on.
Suddenly, the microwave let out its piercing sound, indicating that the food was done and ready to go. Maybe, just maybe, you casually forget about that one little topic about –
“Perfect!” You beamed. “We can talk about it over breakfast!”
Taking out the plates, Karma internally groaned.
Today was indeed the day.
══════════════════
ℑronically, today’s breakfast was a chicken and falafel shawarma with tabbouleh and pita bread on the side. For the past two to three weeks, your boyfriend has spent time and energy learning this new recipe, despite failed attempts — including almost setting your kitchen on fire. Though the situation was resolved, Karma was a bit taken aback, while you were laughing your ass off, much to his dismay. But after knowing that you had a shitty day at work, Karma was happy to let you off the hook.
“God, I need you to stop cooking for me.”
“Why should I?” He smirked. “You know I love cooking only the best for you.”
“Exactly.” You wagged your spoon, before placing a chunk of falafel shawarma in your mouth. “You’re spoiling me. Again.”
“Look, I don’t really do the nine-to-five thing like you do.” He got up from his seat, thirsty for a little lemonade. “So I don’t mind cooking for you again…” He said, placing a carton of cranberry juice next to you. “As long as it means you’re happy and you’re healthy.”
You groaned. You had little to no argument there. All you had (before this cheeky bastard) was either a fast food chain, a delivery service, or a cup of noodles: all of which were staple foods that were tied to corporate survival. Those days were rough, but…you did get the money for overtime. You think.
“Xax.” He called. You snapped out of your trance. “Whatchu thinking about?”
Crap.
You bit your lip; you weren’t sure how to spill the news – because he specifically told you to stay on top of the issue. You were now a month in, and you still didn’t get your overtime pay.
And he even told you that he’d ask you that Monday!
Which is this Monday! Shit!
“Uh. Nothing much.” You quickly got your bearings, attempting to double down on a new topic. “But tell me…” You started. “Tell me about your mom.”
Karma stopped eating, putting his elbows on the table. This time, the silence had an edge to it. You could feel that the aggression was greatly subdued, but it held certainty. Certainty that you would indeed get what you want.
For a price.
“...Ok.” He continued chewing, getting comfortable. “In that case, where shall I begin?”
“Anywhere.” You said, keeping your voice low. “I don’t mind.”
“Alright.”
═════════════════
“My mom was more than a plumber. She was the breadwinner of the house.” He scraped his plate, searching for invisible crumbs. “She had me after my dad and I married, and I was their first kid out of many.” He smiled a bit. “Let’s say they had a… lot of love to give.”
“Hm.” Your face remained as neutral as possible. “How many siblings do you have, Karma?”
“Have?” He chuckled. “Nononono – I had six. But none of them contacted me after the gas explosion. Because they probably thought that they’d be…uh, next? I’m not entirely sure.”
“What do you mean?”
“It wasn’t only my father and mother in the car.” He lowered his head. “My sister was in there. She was just getting picked up from primary school.”
“Oh my…oh my god.”
“My mother was warned multiple times by my dad: Do not go to work.” You could hear the anger bubbling in his voice. “My grandfather, on the other hand, let my mother do what she wanted, simply because she reminded him of his dead wife.” He shrugged, laughing bitterly. “But that didn’t stop him from fucking us up, though.”
“Uh…” You stammered, voice quiet. “Karma…”
“Anyhow my mother continued to go back to work, and for the first time – she finally understood what my dad meant. The situation finally “blew up” in her face, and she was sent to the CEO, and he brought in some specific rules regarding her resignation.”
This time you raised your voice. “Karma-”
He gripped the spoon tightly, his smile stretched unnaturally on his face. His words were becoming rambles. “And when she showed my grandfather and my father the resignation, it was too late.” His laugh was boisterous. “Way too late. And guess what?” His smile grew wider. “Everything on the damn resignation was eventually put into effect. And guess what? They burned, they fucking burned, thanks to her selfish–”
“KARMA!”
His face drooped into a frown, staring at you. “Mm?”
“I’ve heard everything I needed to know.”
“But you’re the one that asked for it.”
“And I’m the one who’s gonna stop it.” Firm, yet upset. That’s what your voice was. “Look. I know you’re upset. But you need to calm down.” You sternly advised. “And the last thing I want is for you to turn that anger towards me.”
His face twisted into a mix of remorse and restricted anger. “...I…I’m sorry.”
Unsure of what to say, you headed to your bedroom, trying to process what just occurred.
And meanwhile, Karma glanced at his phone. Angrily. Solemnly.
“....”
“Odio que me hagas daño, mamá.”
“Odio...que todavía te quiera.
══════════════════
ℌours beyond hours passed – and still, Karma hadn’t come back home. It was routine for you and him to be asleep by 10, or later, if you wanted to cuddle. But your phone shimmered with the same top message: I’ll be home soon.
Meanwhile, you decided to send a message to your mom. You’d doubt she’ll ever see it, but…it was worth texting anyways. In the meantime, you went on a call with your Dad to keep yourself occupied, in hopes of distracting yourself from this morning’s events.
But it wasn’t enough.
12:08 PM ___ [ Karma ]
Hey Xaxi, I apologize for what happened today.
You were right, I did slightly placed my anger at you,
and…I’m sorry. It was an accident. That’s why I
kept avoiding it every time I said it. I wasn’t ready.
And I should’ve said that I wasn’t, instead of what
happened this morning. I’ll be sure to make it up to you.
12:11 PM ___ [ You ]
Karma, know that it wasn’t entirely your fault.
The reason I even brought it up the second time
was because I didn’t want you to ask about my over-
time pay. I also shouldn’t have been stupid and
kept asking you about it. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry
that I basically cause this to even happen in the
first place.
So, yeah. Feel free to come back.
So that way, we can feel shitty together? Lolololol
2:15 PM ___ [ Karma ]

each other. But, I’m going to need some time

Okay?

Karma?
typing…
And as if he heard you typing, you heard a shut. And a lock. Of your door.
Immediately, you sprang up, beginning to squeeze oh so tight, as if he were to pull away at any second.
“Karma!”
His warm smile returned, lifting you up and planting a kiss on your tear-stained kisses. “Sorry (Y/N), something came up.”
“It’s fine, just let’s go to sleep!” You bonked his head. “Ok?”
“Yeah, I’m with you.” He bonked in return, nuzzling and snuggling your throat. “And I’m going to make sure you get one hell of a sleep.”
“Karma please!”
Your laugh echoed across the walls, all while he tickled you and nommed your throat a little more, excited to hear more. As he undressed, he slipped you his phone, preparing to head to the shower to have a good night's rest.
Raising an eyebrow, you reluctantly turned it on. What’s so interesting on this phone now? You thought, considering his phone was covered in Wingdings and boring wallpapers.
“Oh wow!” You exclaimed, dropping the phone back on the bed. “What’s with this all of a sudden?”
“Well…I was looking for those while I was out. As an apology gift to you.” He grinned awkwardly, his upper body on full display.
“I may not be 100% there yet, but I wanted to make…” Your boyfriend stammered. “To make progress.”
Your face began to beam, honestly surprised. “Well, Karma. Feel free to introduce them.”
“Alrighty. But just know I can’t tell you everything, ok?”
“Like I said, Karma McShawarma – no worries.”
This time, he began to burst into laughter, his fangs much more prominent.
And over time, with a few jokes here and there, you began to laugh with him too.
══════════════════
𝔜ou were asleep. Fast asleep.
And there he was, staring at you. Piercing his eyes at you. At your throat, at your blood. At your chest. At your hands. At your very soul.
God, I love it when they sleep.
When they’re desperate.
When they’re mad.
When they hide things from me.
When they tame me.
He looked at his phone, scrolling through your bank account.
They don’t even know that I monitor their phone calls.
Their messages.
The hidden cameras.
The house cameras.
Their parents.
And their overtime pay.
Karma bit his lip, trying not to laugh.
Fuck, this is priceless.
I need to stop.
I need to stop messing with their life.
But it’s so fun!
A gentle kiss. A scarred hand. A warm, t̸̠̀̃̋ĩ̸̘̪ģ̵̣͖̞̾̉̆͝ͅh̴̞̉́͊͋t̸͈̩̫̟̆̅̍̓ͅ hug.
