《A Perfect Pair(F.A.C.E Family)》7

As Alfred tried to adjust me in a pose. I couldn't help but stare at Arthur who was giggling with Matthew about something. Alfred began to say something, but it was like my brain couldn't hear.... it was just focusing on Arthur. "Francis, like this," Alfred sassed. I snapped out of it and began to do as he said quickly. Arthur looked back at me, and I quickly turned my head away. I felt his stare on me but I tried to ignore it as Matthew walked in front of me with a camera. "You like photography?" I asked him. He shook his head and handed it to Alfred. "He does; I just edit."
"Alright!!! Make sure to keep that pose and just smile normally," Alfred smiled giving a thumbs up. It is surprising these boys have not been adopted yet, they seemed like good boys. I smiled my usual smile and Arthur began to laugh at me. "You look too forced! Smile as you mean it!" Arthur laughed. I smiled at what he said and began to laugh. That's when I saw the flash go off and snap a picture of me. Alfred turned to Arthur, in turn, Arthur gave him a thumbs up.
I just wanted to go over there and grab Arthur and just carry him up the stairs and just give him a piece of my mind. "Like you could be any better?" I teased. He began to laugh and shook his head "you know exactly how that would go, and I accept how awkward I look," Arthur joked. He seemed to be in such a good mood today and I loved it so much.
I left my pose and walked over to him and pulled him up from his seat. "What are you doing? It's your turn right now," he said shocked. "No! We are taking turns" I laughed evilly. He struggled to get out of my grasp, but I was stronger than him. The boys began to laugh as I put him in the same position I was in. "Now smile!" I demanded. He glared at me and turned to the boys who looked excited. Alfred gestured for him to smile, and his face softened. "Smile before I tell them an embarrassing dating story of him yours from college," I spoke. His eyes widened, and he quickly made this genuine smile.

It looked so unforced that it made me wonder how many times he has done that before. The boys began to take pictures of him, and I began to laugh at how silly he looked. He never did this type of stuff before, so it was entertaining.

Once we finished the odd photo shoot that the boys wanted, Matthew began to edit the lighting in the photos. At the same time, Alfred helped us set up accounts. "Maybe I shouldn't do this... I mean I'm not old I know that.... but I haven't been on a date in a while" Arthur spoke nervously. "I'm sure everything will be just fine; there will be at least one girl who likes you," I teased. He glared at me as Alfred turned to us. He handed us our phones and began to speak. "Fill out the basic information on the app, and we can work on your bios," he smiled.
Arthur and I did as he said and began to fill out the information. It was stuff like sexuality, birthday, name... the basic stuff which was easy to fill out. I tried to look at Arthur's screen, but he noticed and hid it away from me.
Once we finished, we both circled around Alfred as he grabbed Arthur's phone first. "So, what best describes you?" Alfred looked at Arthur. I noticed Arthur get nervous as he tried to think. "I guess I like staying in at night instead of going out much..... Ummm, I like reading I guess. I'm pretty boring, if I'm going, to be honest. I like watching movies too. Mystery ones I think" he said, confused.
"Alfred! You broke his brain with that question," I laughed. Alfred and Matthew began to look at Arthur, laughing as he turned red. "How about a fun intellectual who loves indoor movie dates," Matthew smiled. We all turned to him and giggled, "no, bro! That sounds too forced!" Alfred spoke.

"How about someone who enjoys movie dates but also loves to have deep conversations about books!" He cheered. I looked to Arthur who just was embarrassed by the situation. "Give me that," Arthur spoke. He began to type something down, and the rest of us looked at him curiously.
"There! Take it or leave it," he said, pleased. We all looked at his bio that said, "I'm boring, but I have a good sense of humor." I began to smile at his bio and laughed. "I would swipe right on you," I giggled. Arthur smiled softly as his checks became red. "My turn!" I cheered. I grabbed my phone from Alfred and began to type my bio in there.
"There we go!" I smiled. Arthur grabbed my phone and looked at it. He was soon laughing hard. His laugh was music to my ears, and it was like it made me freeze. "What does it say?" Matthew asked. "Last time I was someone's type was when I was donating blood," Arthur spoke with laughter. His laugh was contagious and made everyone else begin to laugh.
After we finished, even adding the pictures.... we all ate dinner as a family, which was so nice. We all had a nice day today, and now we had to see if we would get into any relationships. It's a stretch, but I was sure that Arthur and I could manage. Even in the end, our new family was still more important to me than dating. That night I couldn't help but feel so warm inside as I stared at everyone talking and laughing. Even Arthur has been making my heart flutter so severely and it was a great feeling.

The Cursed Heart
Kayden was six months old when the doctor found the curse in his heart. From then on, his life was a struggle to keep it locked away and dormant and above all secret, dreading the day that it would finally break free and wreak havoc. Now he’s fourteen, and that day has come. Things look bad, but there’s hope — the world’s most prestigious magical school is willing to take him in, keep him safe, and pay his legal fees to avoid bankrupting his family. Most importantly, they can teach him to control his curse, to avoid ever hurting anyone else. It sounds far too good to be true, but what other option does he have? Kayden quickly finds himself embroiled in a large political game he doesn’t understand. But he’d better learn fast. Because the secrets of his new school run deeper than he ever expected, and his actions have far more dangerous consequences than he could ever have known. ----------------------- Want to read ahead?

8 169Epic Tales Variation: Aegis Kan
[Winner of the 2021 Writhathon Challenge] Volume 1 Powerless - without ability, influence, or power. That's what Aegis Kan previously known as Terrence Brown, felt when his world was invaded and his soul has whisked away to Gaia. Born as the firstborn of a Powerful Duke, Aegis finds himself in an entirely new world with magic and different paths to power; however, Aegis Kan is tasked with a mission as a Harbinger by the being, [Beyond], who invaded his world, took his soul, and chucked him and others out into the universe. Their task? Spread the System to the myriad races. This is his story, his Epic Tales. Volume 2 Syn Aegis and his cousin Amaya find themselves sent to the world of Prima on one mission and one mission alone. Conquer the world and add it the dukedom and Empires ever-growing resources. However, something weird happened to the planet right before their arrival. An overlap of the same world but darker and a merging caused by the shifting of realities have caused a nightmare Aegis has long forgotten to reappear. They... tHey... THEY... THe NOX ARE COMING! This story can be considered a slow burn and the everything is explained as the action commences and the story moves along. It is mostly told from Aegis perspective however there are several times when a side character perspective of an event matters so I'll put it in. Btw the first volume is a bit spotty as I am a new writer and still trying to find my rhythm. I believe it picks up speed around chapter 13-16ish Release Schedule: 4 chapters a week Wed-Sat 7AM GMT -6 Chapter length between 2000-3500. I try to stay around 2500-3000 but somethings the chapter just doesnt have a good cut off. Not all tags will affect the first volume and more will be added as the world is expanded.

8 131The Beauty Of The End
William was abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him. He is forced into a life of crime, stealing just to feed his mother and himself. But that changes when he's given an opportunity to turn over a new leaf in a world of magic, war and tragedy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Beauty Of The End takes place in a fantasy medieval world where magic exists in multiple forms. William is a boy abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him, and at a young age is forced into crime just to feed the both of them. But one day he is visited by a knight order who tell him he has potential for magic. Listening to their words, he leaves to start a new life and train to become a mage like them. The Beauty Of The End updates every day and I'm hoping to push out 100+ chapters consisting off, at the minimum, five arcs. Sometimes there might be double uploads to make up for a break I might've taken. I have most of the story planned out in my head and am just writing down where I think the story should go. I have planned up to arc 2 and maybe some ideas for 3, but that's about it. Thoughts and criticism are appreciated, there's obviously going to be grammar and maybe spelling mistakes that'll I'll try to spot and fix. I might occasionally post chapters that explain certain parts of the world, e.g. lore, countries, organizations, species, magic etc.
8 212[Don't] Fear the Dragon!
Do yourself a favour and, if the chance to become a dragon in a different world ever arrives, reject it as kindly as possible. As for myself? I didn't have much say in the matter. I've wanted one thing, and one thing alone in this life—to be left alone. But these humans are beyond stereotypical. None of the other dragons let them in on the secret that we only hoard treasure in order to bait the fools. Or how it's a common belief that we eat humans for breakfast. Seriously! Not even a village would substitute as a snack. How do they think people taste anyway? Gross! But it doesn't matter if you hide away in your cave, doing nothing. Some hero is bound to find and attempt to slay you anyways. Or weird cultists offering sacrifices at your door. But there was this princess that asked me to kidnap her one time. Now that was an interesting one... [Updated daily at 11 PM | EST!]
8 235Crafting the Future (Magic & Tech Crafting)
He built and crafted with all his heart. Whether totemic nature magic, mechanical and alchemical factories, nanomachines, teleporters, alchemy, enchanting, mining, and farming, there were no ends. From the lowly stone age he moved reached levels of technology thought only imaginary and magic which made worlds quake. Things aren’t perfect though. Monsters and beasts fill the world, growing stronger by the day, a malignant force is ever present… And strange, bountiful ruins of all sorts remain scattered throughout the world, abandoned yet maintained by faithful servants. But what mattered most to Joey was the little black cube which not only redefined his worldview, but allowed him to transform the world into something utterly marvellous. The patreon linked to this account is not for this story. This story heavily focuses on crafting progression of both magic and tech, where in something is crafted to unlock a new resource or way to craft something better. Heavily influenced on games with such structure. As there is no backlog, chapter releases will be as written, which hopefully will be once a day but depends on progress made per day.
