#peppermint tea

Due to Askbox Answering I was thinking about my assorted Long-Haired Noodle-Proportioned Prettyboy OCs from over the years and got wildly nostalgic, as there are many of these guys whom I haven't drawn in ages. So here are a few of them!

Top to bottom, there's Terin (wearing blue, first drawn in 2001), Liang (bright green, 2006), Saelus (aqua, 2005), Sin (gray, 2007), Lys (red, 2017), Ash (dark green, 2012), Pollux (purple, 2016), and Valentine (pink stripes, 2025).

Peppermint Tea

My warm, sweet, peppermint tea.

It warms my heart like the sun warms the sea.

Peppermint tea was made for me,

like honey was made from the bees.

When I take a sip, it drips from my lips,

and the mint makes them feel tingly.

When I take one more,

it makes me feel warm, sweet,

as if I’ve become one with the peppermint tea.

My warm, sweet, peppermint tea.

I love you,

Watching YouTube while these guys take claim over my tea.

Minty is about to enjoy a cup of peppermint tea.

Johnny, a trucker, waits for his customs papers at the borders. It is part of the job description, but when he gets called into the office after an hour of waiting he frowns. Something wrong? Wouldn't be the first time, Price had problems with customs.

But when he sees you in he office, apologizing for the long waiting time and offering him a coffee, whilst you do his import work, gets his heart pound faster. He settles into the waiting chair like a king, even more so when you hand him a steaming mug of peppermint tea (he spotted the package on your desk) and then he watches you. How you silently lipsync to the music on the radio, how you take a sip of your own tea and how fast your pretty fingers type.

When you hand him the papers after ten minutes and show him where he needs to go and what to do, he just smiles. You say your goodbyes and he has to peel himself away from your side and into his truck.

Dark (er) Bonus: He later stares at your signature and contemplates putting it onto a marriage certificate.
