     THIS WAS UNEXPECTED.

     The day had been completely uneventful until now, abruptly put into motion when Lance found the kid wandering around alone in the crowded shopping district of Aurora. He’d been taught about how to deal with these kinds of cases before, but he never thought he’d actually be the one to deal with a lost child before this incident. Remembering the tips he learned, he crouched down until he was about eye-level with the boy, and tried to be as gentle as he could with him.

     “Hey, kiddo,” he really wasn’t sure how to go about something like this. “Are you all alone out here? Do you know where your parents are?” That was probably too many questions for the tyke to understand, but he needed answers before he chose to bring him back to the station. If he had any information on his clothes or his backpack, it’d definitely be crucial to getting him home as soon as possible.

kill me now I got this out so late!! also mentions from the lovely Nioh thread happening! [ @instincts-over-mind ]

     Stupid Keith. Stupid masquerade. 

     The fact that he had to be dragged there to participate in a masquerade wasn’t so cool. Too many fancy people in fancy clothes laughing with that weird rich person laugh. He supposed half of them were pretending. It felt like a 5th-grade dance all over again, and there he was beside the punch bowl.

     He took a sip of punch from the fake champagne glasses they gave out. It... didn’t taste the same. Not like the normal punch. He caught onto it pretty quickly--- someone spiked the punch bowl. He pretended like it never happened, however; it would liven up the night a little. As long as he made sure people didn’t try to drive home, he still had some cop in him.

Keith bids on Ritsu

fifty ways to kiss someone. - 26. …as an apology.@instincts-over-mind

Ah, maybe he’d teased a little too much. Nio was the type, when comfortable, to prod and giggle over little things, to lay out conversations but constantly disengage to tease over a stumble or misunderstanding, and...

Now, Keith was pouting not that he would admit it. And it was cute! He was almost tempted to poke fun at that action, except that would be way too much, they weren’t that close yet.

So he leans over, marveling over their matched height, lifts onto his toes, and presses a feather-light kiss to Keith’s forehead. An unspoken apology that would redirect the conversation for sure.

19. ...for luck@kusaihara@natsun-suoh

It’s for fun and games, and so, Natsukage rationalizes, it's for a good cause. It’s all fine and good. Saihara is just standing there, too, a perfect victim in the perfect crime murder and pain dutifully excluded.

He steels himself. Leans in. Takes the cowards way out and pecks Saihara’s cheek, gently, before pulling down his goggles and looking away, red as roses.

Send 👋 to brush hair out of my muse’s face.@preppy-noodlepuppy@instincts-over-mind

Hitohito doesn’t move while Keith messes with his hair, but he does fight the urge to smile and lean into his hand. He’s not a dog- or that weak to physical affection! Probably!

     [ @instincts-over-mind​ here it is lmao ]

     Mistakes happened too often for Lance, it seemed. He knew Keith would give him shit for this, but it was too late, and before he knew it he was standing in front of his rival’s door. McClain took a deep breath and quickly knocked against the solid wood.
