Fallout 4 Companions React

So I’m leaving in 6 hours for 2 weeks. I hope everything goes well and I’ll be able to later show you guys some photos from the camp :)

Cait - She stares at them for a long, long while, before simply shouting: “ARE YOU MAD?!!”

Codsworth - “Umm…” he utters, as if thinking of a way to say what he’s about to say as politely as possible, “Sir/mum… Are you sure that’s… safe?”

Curie - She thinks about it: “That could be very dangerous,” she says in the end, “but think of the study I could make about it!”

Danse - He hopes he didn’t hear them right. When they repeat what they’d said, he states, as calmly as he can: “Solider… No offence, but that is a very bad idea…”

Deacon - Gasps, the corners of his lips turning up into a wild grin. He shouts: “HIS NAME IS FLUFFY! That is unnegotiable…”

Dogmeat - While the baby deathclaw isn’t as big as his mum, Dogmeat still rather stays away from it, for his own safety.

Hancock - “Are you high?” he instantly asks. After he’s sure Sole is definetely sober, he only utters: “it’s your call, just be careful, okay?”

MacCready - Actually thinks about it, not calling them insane just yet: “This one kid back at Capital Wasteland once said they’d encountered a deathclaw that wasn’t trying to kill them on sight…”

Nick Valentine - He actually smiles, imagining a friendly deathclaw, but he doesn’t approve: “You know, there are safe experiments you can run, doll/kid…”

Piper - The reporter laughs: “Oh Blue… If you’re serious about this AND actually succeed, it’ll be one hell of an article!”

Preston - A little split between what he wants to say: “General, I think it’s a very interesting idea surely…But maybe it could stay somewhere… far from the settlements?”

Strong - “We should eat it, while deathclaw easy to kill!”

Pffff!! If it’s still active?! OF COURSE IT IS…. irregularly and with great pauses, but it is active :D

Cait - Come to think of it, she did notice Sole barely eating, almost always taking the watch for the night and some serious daily workout. They were out in the sun, making beds for some settlement and Cait was bored out of her mind, bitching about it. Suddenly, their whole body just gave out and Sole fell down like a ragdoll. Cait began cursing under her breath as she picked them up. They were seriously overheating and only now, up close, did the ex-slave noticed the dark circles under their eyes. 

With a help of some settler, she carried Sole into one of those newly build shacks, laying them on the bed they’ve finished mere minutes ago. Sole was cooling up slowly, but were near unwakeable, she only managed to give them some water, before they zoomed out again. “Dumbass… That’s what you get for treating yourself like shit,” said Cait under her breath, but stayed with them until they were feeling better.

Codsworth - The mister handy immediatelly set off to find some help, knowing that trying to drag them away from the attacking sunlight would end up with them most likely wounded from his arms. Of course, not even 30 seconds later were there settlers that were saved by Sole themselves few hours prior. Two settlers carried Sole to a shack, while a timid looking woman poured some cool water on their head, waking up fairly dazed Sole.

Codsworth handed them some more water, which Sole drank extremely quickly. As soon as they did, Sole fell asleep on the mattress, the sleeping deficit taking a toll on them, among other things. As soon as the robot was sure they’d be fine, he began making a meal for them when they’d rested enough. It saddened Codsworth, really. They were taking care of everyone, but themselves.

Curie - “Oh, no!” said Curie very quietly, when she caught a glimpse of Sole’s bared torso. Both of them were dreched and found themselves in the process of changing clothes, so they wouldn’t catch a cold. And Curie saw just how malnourished Sole was. Come to think of it, she now noticed how little were they eating. Considering what sort of exercise they do every day, Sole should be eating 4 times more than they do.

Sole made a move to leave the building they were in, as they were already sporting dry clothing, but Curie blocked their path: “What are you doing, Curie?” they said. Sole’s voice was filled with fatigue. Saying nothing, Curie grabbed them by their shoulders and almost drag them to sit in one of the chairs around. After thorough scolding about how they should care better about themselves, Curie proceeded to cook a nutritious meal for them, after which she sent them straight to bed.

Danse - This was not good. At all. Sole was a Brotherhood of Steel soldier, which is a very physically demanding job, yet Sole didn’t get nearly enough rest and food they needed. Danse always knew this and knew that it could destroy them and now he was cursing himself to hell and back, because he let it happen. Sole was unconscious, lying on the hard ground. The paladin let out a sigh as he got out of his power armour and picked them up, laying them down on a nearby bed.

When he chekced that they were safe, he ran off to fetch a doctor. They’re probably just sleeping (god knew they needed it), but better be safe, than sorry. As the doctor looked them up and down, Danse began rummaging through their things, finding them some food and plenty of water, for when they regain their consciousness. He then made a promise to himself; he will now always keep in mind that they care for themselves, since they probably won’t…

Deacon - He’s been through this himself. When something fucks up, one has to deal with it, and Deacon’s always dealt with it by trying to do more work than he could handle while neglecting his basic needs. He had to admit, it wasn’t nice. At all. Of course, the agent immediatelly made sure they were breathing and had a stable heartbeat, before picking them up and putting them on the nearest bed.

He picked an (almost) clean rag and poured some water on it, laying it on their forehead. He was no nurse, or a babysitter, but Sole was his friend and as mentioned above, seeing one of your only, if not the only friend in such a state made him feel sick. He was there when they woke up later, offering them some InstaMash and a Nuka Cola, both of which they gratefully accepted. When they were done eating, Sole let sleep take them once more. They’re gonna stay in this cabin for a while, as it seems.

Dogmeat - The pup saw them falling down, but not getting up, therefore he immediatelly rushed by their side and began licking their face. Sole woke up after a while and Dogmeat almost dragged them into a shadow. THere Sole sat, slumped against the wall, while Dogmeat went off to bark at Trashcan Carla until she came around. 

Of course, she was cursing and fussing, but gave Sole something ‘on the house’, a single canteen of purified water and a can of Pork n’ Beans. It wasn’t a lot, but Sole was grateful anyway, being thirsty and starving. They later left to go to bed, while Dogmeat kept them company, dozing off softly over their legs, watching over them.

Hancock - “Oh, shit,” he said, getting Sole’s attention. Now, he looked at them maybe a little more than was necessary, so he was surprised he didn’t notice how… skinnier Sole became. And definetely not in a good way, they looked completely starved out. He definetely shouldn’t be telling anyone how to live, shouldn’t even combine the words ‘healthy’ and ‘lifestyle’, but this wasn’t good. So he told them, as nicely, but firmly as possible.

It took him a while to finally get them to eat and drink something. He even threatened them a bit, saying that he’d be making sure they care for themselves, that he’d be like their own fucking babysitter. After Sole’s been fed and promised him they’d try to live more healthily, he sent them to bed. He might have been a bit of an asshole, too strict on them, but Hancock already saw many of his friends lost. He didn’t want to go through this with Sole.

MacCready - The sniper wasn’t overly picky about his food - after living off mushrooms for 16 years of his life, a well made mole rat steak was a fine dish. On the other hand, he could see why Sole wouldn’t like eating too much, they were certainly used to better food. So it didn’t worry him too much at first. At first. It worried him way more when he saw Sole collapse on the ground, literally starved.

He wasn’t the best cook out there, but when Sole finally woke up and smelled the mirelurk omelettes he made, they almost choked themselves on them. MacCready then proceeded to tell Sole how dumb they were for not eating and drinking enough and what a scare they gave him. Sole felt awful, apologized about a hundred times and promised they would eat more. “I sure hope so,” the sniper said, “neither of us wants me force feeding you now, right?” 

Nick Valentine - Being a synth and not having basic needs like sleeping or eating, he noticed how badyl Sole neglected themselves pretty early on. He even told them about it, on several ocassions. Things like ‘This place looks safe. YOu sure you don’t want to catch some Z’s?’ or ‘You know I don’t need to sleep, right? You can sleep while I watch out…’. Now that the synth detective reflected back on it, he should’ve been firmer.

Sole was nervous, literally jumping at shadows. The circles under their eyes were very, very dark and they looked like they would fall asleep right on their feet. That was quite enough for Nick. He grabbed their shoulder, maybe too forcefully, and dragged them towards the ranger cabin. He sat them on the bed, while they argued. “Listen, kid/doll. I know you’re tough. But if you want to keep helping people and find your son, you’ve got to take some time to rest.” Sole agreed in the end and were out by the time their head hit the mattress.

Piper - Sole liked to help people. Everyone knew it, Piper held them in really high regards because of it and they were really making a difference. But after a while, the reporter noticed it was taking a real toll on them. The shack they built was perfect, it was nicely decorated and looked like an amazing place to live in. However, Sole’s muscles were most likely crying out in pain right now. They truly worked from 6 o’clock in the morning until 10 o’clock at night, taking only very small breaks.

She saw it on Sole, the fatigue. Their usual, rather confident strode looked almost zombie-like now and the typical spark they just had was gone. Piper too was tired, she was helping the whole day as well, but Sole was taking it to the extremes. She offered them a massage, which was very awkward, but it seemed to relieve some stress from Sole’s muscles, all the while Piper asked them not to overwork themselves like this again.

Preston - The minuteman had no idea how Sole managed to do everything they do. One moment they’re killing hostiles, the other they’re trying to find their lost son and then they’re doing some manual work at the settlements. He always worked with them, but it felt as if Sole worked as two people at once. It dind’t occur to Preston at first that they could put themselves into danger, overworking like this.

So when Sole fell down on the ardent ground, drenched with sweat and burning up, Preston cursed at himself and began fussing over his general. He carried them to the most cool part of the settlement, brought a doctor, bought plenty of water, food and meds just to know they’d be alright. When Sole finally came to, he apologized a hundred times and promised that he would never let them overstrain themselves this much.

Strong - The super mutant knew human doesn’t eat humans, but it seemed to him that they weren’t even eating human food. He could understand, human food was disgusting, but when humans, or super mutants don’t eat, they’re not good fighters. He, of course, told Sole this. They promised that they’ll try to eat more and since that moemnt, Strong always reminded them when he thought they should do so.

X6-88 - It was his job to make sure they survive, so the courser was a bit annoyed, for they were making it harder for him. Without enough rest and food, Sole is sure to become an easy target and X6 wouldn’t fail the Father and the Institute by allowing this. He tried being nice, at first, ‘You should eat something, sir/ma’am’ and ‘You should get some rest, sir/ma’am’ was however answered with something like ‘Hmm’ and ‘later’.

X6 wasn’t exactly thrilled at how he ended up dealing with the situation, but it worked. He lcoked Sole in their own bedroom in Sanctuary with several Institute food packs and purified water and until they had a meal and a long sleep, X6 wouldn’t budge and let them out. It worked at the end and Sole began to actually treat themselves better, so it’s for the better, X6 thought.

Update: And it’s funny, because I turned on the radio to calm down a bit and one of the first thing I hear is “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, there’s plenty of music to listen to” and the first song that played would be literally translated as “Everything’s okay”....

 While I am sure Dogmeat would be a fine babysitter, I decided not to include him… On the other hand, I didn’t include Strong because… well, the reasons are more than obvious, I think :D

Oh also… this one is long… :D

 Cait is rather nervous about it at first - she was never good with children. Or rather, she never really hung out with children. A few minutes of awkward silence passed between her and Shaun, before she cleared her throat and spoke nonchalantly: “So… what do you do for fun?” Shaun then proceeded to show her all the toys and board games Sole brought him from their adventures and the two of them started playing.

 Cait hates to admit it, but she enjoyed it, a lot. She was just a little embarassed when she went to Sole’s kitchen to find it’s owner brewing a delicious smelling soup. Cait questions them about how long they’ve been home, upon which Sole replies: “About an hour or so, but I didn’t want to spoil your guys’ fun,” they say with a smile.

 Codsworth has been waiting and preparing himself for this moment since the moment he’s first saw little Shaun, just a tiny infant. He was very happy to talk with him about anything and everything the child wanted and he happily prepared him a fine dish. It almost was as if nothing has changed, as if the bombs never fell. As if Sole and their spouse went out for a dinner and he was in charge of their home.

 When Shaun was tucked into his bed, teeth brushed and Codsworth wished him a good night, it truly felt like a home. Shaun’s room was decorated with his drawings, toys were neatly resting in their right places and Codsworth knew that despite this wasn’t the old world, Shaun couldn’t be any happier than he was. With a parent like Sole, who aimed to make this world a better place for his son and everyone else, it was home.

 Curie doesn’t have a slightest problem with babysitting Shaun. Firstly, she talks to him, asks him about his hobbies, and so on. She plays with him, letting Shaun teach her some of the board games he had. Curie even tries to prepare a healthy and tasty meal for the two of them. It’s not as perfect as it probably should’ve been, considering she never eally cooked, but Shaun enjoys his dinner nevertheless and appreciates the effort.

 When he goes to bed, Curie sits in a chair in his room and reads a book to him. After Shaun’s fallen asleep, she remains in his room, lit by a single lamp, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. She is so comfortable, Curie eventually falls asleep herself, book still in hand. Sole returns home in the middle of night, finding both of them safe and sound, snoozing.

 Danse had no experiences with children and babysitting whatsoever and frankly didn’t understand why would Sole pick him to watch over their child. But since he owed them his life, he agreed and stayed with the child. He felt awkward, didn’t know what to say to the child. Luckily enough, this feeling passed quickly, as Shaun began asking him all kinds of questions about his power armour, the adventures he shared with Sole, the Brotherhood of Steel and so on.

 Before Danse knew it, hours have passed and their talking turned towards the more general themes, Sanctuary Hills were enveloped by darkness and the only thing illuminating the room they were in was a single floor lamp. The hanle of Sole’s door clicked and there they were, walking into their house. Shaun sat up and ran to hug their parent hello. Sole then proceeded to tuck him into bed, then exited Shaun’s room, thanking Danse for taking care of him. “He’s a good kid,” was all Danse said, with a smile.

 Deacon might have been slightly nervous, because Shaun wasn’t just any kid, but Sole’s kid, no matter if he was a synth. But he was good at lying and pretending. so he acted as if he was very cool with watching over Shaun while Sole was gone on some errands. Nervosity fell off after just a few moments however, as Shaun began showing him his toys and talking to him. Deacon relaxed and started to play with him, making Shaun laugh by changing his voice everytime he pretended to talk as one toy or other.

 The child had such and imagination, Deacon thought as they made up an entire, quite complex story together. When it was dark outside, Deacon asked Shaun whether he felt hungry or needed anything. When Shaun shook his head, Deacon asked him to prepare to go sleep. Sole had raised him well, Shaun obediently left to brush his teeth and changed into his pajamas. When he lied down into his bed, the Railroad agent said: “I’ll be in the living room if you need anything, okay?” They then wished each other a good night and Deacon took his leave, feeling rather accomplished.

 Hancock didn’t think it was one of Sole’s best ideas to leave their child under his supervision(and influence) alone. Nevertheless, he complied, pocketing his chems and leaving them be for the night, or at least until Sole came back. Both he and Shaun were silent for some time, Shaun playing with Dogmeat and Hancock going through Sole’s pantry in order to find them some dinner. Settling on Salisbury steak and some InstaMash, he began preparing the meal. “So, what do you like to do?” he asked, after a while.

 Shaun began telling him about his hobbies, what he liked and din’t like to do, even mentioned how he felt about Sole’s other friends. Hancock was just putting their plates on the table, when he almost dropped them, because Shaun said: “…But I think you’re the best!” Hancock grinned and the two of them ate, and stayed sat by the table long afterwords, with the mayor of Goodneighbor telling Sole’s kid of all the adventures they had while he travelled with Sole. The child-friendly version of them, of course!

  MacCready was absolutely okay with it and openly chatted with Shaun. Shaun was a good child, well behaved and curious and R.J. found himself aching a bit, as it reminded him of Duncan. He didn’t let it show, of course and carried on talking and playing with Shaun, preparing him a meal and being generally a good babysitter. When evening came, he made sure Shaun had his room tidy, brushed his teeth and went to bed.

 When the sniper tucked him in, he sat into the armchair in Shaun’s room and began telling the boy of his own son and how he was going to bring him here one day. Shaun was already half-sleeping, when he muttered: “Maybe we could be friends.” MacCready chuckled and replied with a quiet ‘I sure hope so’. He stayed until Shaun fell asleep, then walked out of his bedroom to find Sole’s just returned home. He gave them a brief summary of their evening, as both of them sat on Sole’s couch and talked some more.

  Nick didn’t mind it of course. He wasn’t much into playing games, but Shaun seemed more interested in his detective stories anyway. Nick let him look into his cases as the child was eating his dinner. He had to admit, the kid was rather bright and perceptive, openly talking about the tiniest of details and taking them into consideration. He looked to be actually having fun and enjoying Nick’s presence, which was amazing, considering Nick’s roughed up looks.

 When the last rays of sun disappeared behind the horizon and Shaun’s eyes became droopy, Nick said: “I think that’s enough of work for one day, huh?” Shaun yawned and nodded his head, automatically going to the bathroom to get ready for the night. Nick tucked the kid into bed and chatted with him until Shaun fell asleep. Returning to the living room, he saw Sole who just came home beam up at him and so Nick proceeded to talk about what a good kid Shaun was.

 Piper actually brought Nat along with her and she and Shaun became fast friends, playing happily in Shaun’s room as Piper prepared a large meal, saving some for Sole for when they came home. She then went to fetch the kids for dinner, finding them playing a board game of sorts. The trio shared a dinner, chatting cheerfully. When they all finished their food, Piper put the dishes into the sink and followed the children back to Shaun’s room. They explained the board game to Piper and she joined them, the room being now illuminated by a ceiling light.

 After a few games, the reporter noticed both Shaun and Nat yawning and decided that was it for the day. As the children did their evening routine, Piper went to check in if everything was prepared for the night - Sole has given Piper and Nat their bed while they were staying there. Shaun and Nat wished each other a good night and Piper tucked both of them into their beds before going to sit on the living room couch to wait for Sole to return.

 Preston didn’t mind one bit - it was Sole’s child, after all. He took Shaun for a walk around the Sanctuary, being sure to tell him of all the good their parent does every day. They took their time to chat with Mama Murphy and Sturges. At one point, Shaun said: “One day, I’m gonna be a Minuteman too!” at which Preston chuckled and replied with an ‘I’m sure of it’, putting his hat on Shaun’s a bit smaller head.

 When the two of the returned to Sole’s home, Preston prepared them dinner - Mama Murphy made the two of them delicious brahmin steaks, which Preston combined with some fresh corn. When night came, he asked Shaun to prepare to go to bed and Shaun complied, already tucked him, when Preston came intio his room. The minuteman started reading Shaun a book of his choice and it wasn’t long before he could hear light snoozing coming from the boy. He smiled to himself and left the room, waiting for Sole to come back in one of the armchairs in their living room.

 X6-88 was not a babysitter, if you don’t incude Sole themselves. Not that he was concerned for the little synth’s safety, because that he could provide, but he knew he wouldn’t be able to give the child the same attention and affection Sole could. Nevertheless, he agreed in the end. Shaun seemed quite happy to just play with Dogmeat in silence, while X6 just read one of Sole’s books, because there was no way anything interesting would be happening anytime soon.

 Shaun started yawning later, telling X6 that he would be going to sleep. The courser observed as the child went to brush his teeth and then invited the dog into his room. X6 went to check on him after a while and Shaun already had his eyes closed, opening one of them to look at him. Dogmeat was sleeping already by his legs. “I’ll be in the living room shall you need anything,” he said, the child uttering an ‘okay’ and ‘goodnight’. X6 would check on Shaun every now and then until Sole finally came home.

Foof… This really was a long one, wasn’t it? :D I hope there aren’t many typos in there xD

Cait - She might look a bit silly, mouth parted and eyebrows high, but she is touched by their words. When Sole looks at her, Cait gives them a small smile and nod.

Codsworth - Is still for a moment, before humbly responding: “Oh, sir/mum! My joy at being a part of your family is inexpressible by words!”

Curie - While not knowing why, she holds a hand to her synth heart, the corners of her lips going up: “Never have I thought I would be part of a family!”

Danse - Becomes tense for a moment, to the point Sole is worried if they’d said something wrong, but when a relaxed smile starts appearing on Danse’s face, they return it.

Deacon - Is very touched by their words and deep down knows he feels the same, he tries to play it cool, though: “Told you, Railroad was just a big family with guns!”

Hancock - Grins at them widely: “Isn’t it weird how strangers sometimes become a better family than those who are bound by blood?”

MacCready - His family was Duncan and he genuinly thought that was his only family. Obviously, he’s been wrong. But is very glad that he was.

Nick Valentine - “Do you really mean that?” is the first thing he asks. When instead of an answer Nick gets a kind smile and a small nod from Sole, he returns both, very happily.

Piper - There’s a tender spark in her eye: “The feeling’s mutual, Blue.” she then pats their shoulder briefly: “Glad we found you.”

Preston - A silly, toothy grin spreads out on his face upon hearing it. “I feel the same, general. I’m really glad you turned up,” he says quietly.

Strong - “Human good. Better than Strong’s brothers!”

X6-88 - For once, he looks a tad confused, but accepts it rather easily. “I don’t know what I did to deserve that, sir/ma’am. However, I am glad.”

For platonic, Sole just pulls them in gently for a small, chaste peck :D

Cait - She gets a bit startled, but laughs it off in the end, calling them a ‘cheesy dork’.

Cait (romanced) - “Hey! A little chaste, aren’t we?” she says before kissing them on the mouth.

Curie - Curie reciprocates the soft kiss with a lovely smile on her face. She is French, after all.

Curie (roamnced) - Giggles and holds them close for a while longer, enjoying their affection.

Danse - It takes him a while to process what just happened and it look hilarious. He ends up speechless, though and just carries on.

Danse (romanced) - Makes a fake frown: “Distracting a soldier like this… That’s what you call a team spirit, brother/sister?”

Deacon - Observes them with a grin for a bit: “Was it something I did, or am I that irresistible?”

Deacon (romanced) - Moves his head quickly to capture their lips and gives Sole’s bottom lip a playful bite, wrapping his arms around them.

Hancock - Almost instantly leans into them, chuckling: “whatever I did, it must’ve been good.”

Hancock (romanced) - “Oh, look who’s here,” he whispers smugly, before capturing their lips in a heated kiss.

MacCready - Blinks repeatedly and looks quite confused, then just shruggs his shoulders and smiles.

MacCready (romanced) - Puts both hands around them, keeping them in place for a while longer, beaming.

Nick Valentine - Chuckles kindly: “not sure how I deserved this, pal/doll, but I’m not complaining.”

Nick Valentine (romanced) - When Sole pulls back, he brings them closer still, resting the side of his face against theirs in a rather tender way.

Piper - Blushes a bit: “Okay, that’s about one of the nicest ways to epxress affection, Blue,” she says with a chuckle.

Piper (romanced) - “Oh, look who’s feeling cuddly,” shey says, huggin them to her, placing a kiss against their cheek as well.

Preston - A bit startled, but smiles at Sole gently, placing a warm hand against their shoulder.

Preston (romanced) - Leans into them, placing his hands over theirs and closing his eyes, enjoying Sole’s warmth.

X6-88 - Though he doesn’t look affected at all, his voice is filled with mild confusion: “Why would you do that?”

X6-88 (romanced) - Anticipates it and turns his head just in time to kiss Sole on their mouth.

 Here, have this teeth-rotting, diabetes caussing fluff! ;D

 It’s not very often you see Cait cry, but at that exact moment she did. She would probably kick herself if she could see her own face, but it couldn’t be helped. The woman’s cheeks and nose were as red as her hair and she was covering her mouth with her left hand, the right one being tightly pressed against her hammering heart. Tears flowed from her puffy eyes as she sobbed a breathless ‘yes’, pulling Sole in for a kiss.

 At first, Curie thought she was malfunctioning. So, so many emotions all at once left her rather unable to think. In her head were running images of herself and Sole, united in marriage. Two most curious lovers finding each other in the cruel Commonwealth. She was crying and found it odd, because she was far, far from sad. Not trusting her own voice, she nods her head furiously and pulls Sole close, hugging them very tightly.

 Danse just couldn’t believe it. They stood by him through both his best and worst. Sole knew who he was, what he was. And yet, they loved him. They stood before him, asking to spend their life with him. After all the hardships Sole went through and the hardships Danse went through, he didn’t think either of them was capable of such happiness and love. His own voice failed him, as he breathed out: “There is… nothing else I’d want more.” The soldier then proceeded to lift Sole up into the air, burying his face into the crook of their neck.

 Panic, that was the first thing Deacon felt. After Barbara, he didn’t expect himself to love again. Hadn’t even expected to be loved. But here they were. Sole, the doe-eyed vault dweller who found themselves in an absolutely different world. The person who made him believe again. As the original shock wore off, absolute bliss filled it’s place. It would be different this time around. This time Deacon won’t let go. A tear escaped from behind his sunglasses as he accepted, taking Sole into his arms.

 Hancock couldn’t believe what he was hearing. With his mouth opened wide, he silently asked Sole to repeat what they’d just said. They did and Hancock still found himself in utter disbelief. They were so perfect in his eyes, beautiful in both body and spirit and they’d want to spend their life with him? Hancock loved Sole to hell and back, but never expected to be loved just as much. A grin, that probably wasn’t entirely handsome, but was completely honest spread over his face as he accepted with teary eyes and one of the best kisses he’d ever shared with anyone.

 It scared MacCready at first, but not in a bad way. He never anticipated to find love again, but there they were. Sole made the world seem better, the horrible wasteland Commonwealth was suddenly looked a lot brighter and colourful thanks to them. He wasn’t sure he even deserved a second chance for happiness and love, but he leaped and grasped it with all his might. He even wasn’t ashamed that he openly cried, resting his forehead against Sole’s own.

 Nick always wanted something he could call his own, not the old Nick’s, not the Institute’s… But he didn’t expect anybody, and especially someone like Sole, to be the someone who belongs to him. They were a human of bones and flesh, while Nick was a prototype, roughed up by the Commonwealth. And they wanted him. His coolant was pumping fast and fans whirled as if he was malfunctioning. And it felt amazing. After being affirmed they really mean it, he wholeheartedly accepts, dipping them down for a kiss better than those in the best romantic movies.

 Piper’s breath caught in her throat as Sole kneeled before her, tears literally shooting from the reporter’s eyes. Her brain was currently adding this moment to one of Piper’s best memories and she didn’t even let them finish, repeating ‘Yes, god, yes’ like a mantra. Instead of waiting for them to come up again, she dropped down right in front of Sole, almost tackling them to the ground behind them. She was laughing and crying at the same time and Sole joined her soon after.

 Preston was covering his face with both of his hands, only revealing wide, dark eyes, that were getting redder by the second. When all seemed lost, they flew into his life like an angel, saving him, his people, the Minutemen, the entire Commonwealth. And this angel now wants to spend the rest of their life with him. The minuteman could feel his heart beating wildly, his breathing was so fast and laboured and it felt divine. “Yes…” he sobbed out with some difficulty and gladly accepted Sole’s loving embrace, kissing along their neck and making it slightly wet with his tears of joy.

I hope you guys won’t be mad at me because I’m posting yet another reaction-unrelated post, but I feel like I really need to get this out of my chest.

As many of you probably know, I tried to kill myself two years back. And so, so many of you, lovely doves, have been there for me, supported me. A random stranger who just writes, because it entertains her. You’ve no idea how much your messages filled with love and kindness helped me.

You pulled me out of the very bottom, helped me see the light in my darkest hours. Never before have I felt so appreciated, so loved. I really wanted to die that day... I am now very glad I was unsuccessful.

I turned my life around, cut away all the contact with that toxic ‘friend’, I met new people, about a year ago, people who I now adore with all of my heart and I know they feel the same for me. They’re always there when I’m feeling down and I am glad to be able to do the same for them. I feel like they truly helped me get out of my shell and actaully socialize, have fun with other people.

What I had with the girl who drove me to the breaking point, I thought it was friendship. But now, as I have experienced true friendship, I can tell it was an abuse.

I now have a good job, will be going to university, I have people I adore and I still kept all my hobbies.

None of this would be possible without you. If you hadn’t been there for me, I would most likely be gone by now. I owe you my life. I love all of my followers and I will forever be grateful to you all. Thank you so so much, for reading this and for being an amazing person.

This one I rellay like, because I adore playing piano and every year, among other songs I learn, I learn a song or two just for my mum. I learned this one last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8kkMNAN-oY&feature=youtu.be

Now, I’m nothing extra, but I play because I like it, because it’s fun, it helps me relax :D

Cait - While she isn’t into music nearly as much, she’s got to admire how nimble Sole’s fingers are and what lovely sounds they can create just by pushing those keys.

Codsworth - Absolute bliss fills him as he remembers; remembers how much they adored to play, how they played to Shaun, on the small keyboard, how they hoped to teach him one day. If robots could shed tears, Codsworth would’ve.

Curie - She is captivated by both the music and their technique. Curie makes sure to compliment them on both, humming softly to their song.

Danse - While he isn’t too keen on wasting precious time, he has to admit this is one of the most pleasant things he’d encountered while traveling with Sole, and he allows himself a while to relax and listen to them play.

Deacon - When they first saw the piano, he tried convincing Sole that he knew how to play, but when Sole themselves actually started playing, he was left speechless, admiring them. At least until the song ended: “I admit, I might be a lecture or two behind…”

Dogmeat - He lays his head on Sole’s knee while they play and listens to them, absolutely calm.

Hancock - The mayor grins the whole time and gives them an applaude at the end: “I’m getting some people to fetch this thing into the Third Rail… You’ll be playing while Mags sings!”

MacCready - The sniper watches them in silent admiration a smile playing on his lips. As if their music alone made the whole place appear rather lovely. When they’re done, he says happily: “I had no idea you could play like that!”

Nick Valentine - Similarly to Hancock, he grins the whole time they’re playing, gently hums the melody along with Sole’s masterly playing and claps loudly when the song comes to it’s end.

Piper - She rests her elbows on the piano and listens to them play, a rather goofy smile on her face. Piper watches their fingers intently, having no idea how they keep both hands so synchronized. Absolute respect.

Preston - Preston seems to relax his entire body after Sole starts to play. Their music appears to be making him feel safe, calm, content. When Sole finishes, he rather bashfully asks them whether they could play some more.

Strong - Has no idea what Sole is doing, but figures out it’s another one of their quirks, so he rather scans the area for any dangers while they play.
