"What the fuck is it gonna take for you to understand?!" he snapped. Tenya's eyes ping-ponged with his movements. “What the hell is wrong with you?!” Isao asked, exasperated. The conversation wasn't going anywhere, their bickering back and forth only irritating them further. Tenya made an annoyed sound. “Would you both shut the fuck up?!”

He didn't want to consider the possibility that he'd already said his final words to him. Faysal chewed on the inside of his cheek. “And what of Ashura?” “What I decide to do with him is none of your concern.” Nobutaka’s voice turned icy, anger tightening his features. Faysal swallowed, blanching. “Consider yourself lucky that I respect your father and everything he’s done for me. I don’t offer mercy to many, and even less to those that betray me. I do not give third chances.”

I planned to finish this for Halloween, but life has been hectic! Either way, it's done! I've wanted to draw Hualian like this for a long time because I like to imagine them revisiting these forms post-canon for.... specific reasons..~ 🤭🩷 What do you think?

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

“Is Jessica with you?” his mother asked. The concern in her voice wasn't altogether unusual; her overprotective nature had been a foregone conclusion, his childhood marked by her anxious spells and endless fussing over both him and his sister. “…no? Was she supposed to be?” Furrowing his brow, Faysal checked his messages to see if he’d missed any from his younger sister. He pressed his chin into the top of Ash’s head as he scrolled. Seeing nothing, his confusion building, he brought the device back up to his ear. “She’s not at home?” “No. She was out with some friends, but hasn’t come home…” Her anxious rambling trailed off, turning subdued. He made a thoughtful noise. “She isn’t answering her phone either. I’ve tried so many times!”

“You’re so pretty. So, so pretty, love.” Faysal bent his head, tenderly kissing the thin scar Ash had exposed originally for the second time. Another found the ragged burn mark only a few inches lower, then the scattering of old gunshot wounds on his left side. He followed every affectionate kiss with a touch, his fingertips tracing over the same spots. Before Ash could ask what he was doing, his lips parting to do so, Faysal turned his face up to give him a sweet smile. “You’ve sacrificed so much, haven’t you? Would you tell me about them one day?” His brows pinched together. Over the many years it took for each to fracture his sensitive skin, he'd never openly shared where they came from. It'd been obvious to any of the agents who saw them that the shared experience of physical pain needed no explanation. For anyone else, the response had been open disdain or disapproval rather than curiosity. He wasn't certain how to take the question when Faysal fell somewhere else entirely in his endless quest for information.

How the hell could he love someone like me? Complete opposites. There was little they shared in common, with everything from how they dressed to their interests differing so much that it made him want to laugh. Where he held so much anger, Faysal was the human version of joy - normally, anyway, when he wasn't shaking like a leaf as he prepared to have his head ripped off. While he awoke with the sun, Faysal thrived in the dim light of night. It should have been impossible for an academic with a college degree to fall for someone like him, who knew nothing about that world, yet… “I… I don’t expect you to feel the same. I know it’s fast. But…” Faysal’s shoulders tensed. His grip around Ash’s hips tightened as he swallowed. “I mean… uh… did you… did you know it only actually takes-” …he did.

Ash bolted out of bed when a knock echoed through the apartment. The rapid tap tap tap repeated before he could sprint to check the door. Tenya wasn’t due back, and even if she was, she could let herself in with their lunch in tow. His neighbors rarely, if ever, came to his apartment door, and all of them would likely be at work, regardless. He approached the door with wary caution, keeping his footsteps light across the hardwood floor. The visitor shuffled their feet in the hallway outside, shoes squeaking against the floor. Ash leaned in to peer through the peephole, blinking when he only met darkness instead of the warped image of the hall. His shoulders tensed. He checked that his gun sat on his dining table with a furtive glance. This is weird.

If I loved him… If I loved him… Ash chewed on the inside of his cheek, keeping his eyes downcast. Tenya didn’t rush him, her hand finding his to squeeze it. He makes me happy in a way I didn’t think I could be again. He wasn’t stupid. As much as he didn’t want to, he couldn’t deny the jack rabbiting of his heart any time he heard the blond’s voice. He’d learned the hard way not to let his guard down, yet in no time at all, his walls fell to that beautiful smile that fed the butterflies in his stomach. Ash closed his eyes, tears starting anew. Fuck.
