"Astrid what's wrong?" Kelley asks as I stand alone by myself.
The team is at the Olympics Opening ceremony tonight and we are waiting for our call to walk out with the rest of Team USA.
Our first group game went well and we beat Nigeria 3-0.
Since all our games are in the stadiums close to the Olympic Village we are staying there so we get to walk in the opening ceremonies.
"Tobin thinks I'm ashamed of her." I whisper.
"What? No she doesn't."
"I just heard her say it."
"I'm gonna kill her." Kelley says then she stalks off before I can stop her.
Kelley then grabs Tobin and drags her over to me and pulls her in front of me.
"Fix this." Kelley says and points at me then walks away.
"What's wrong?" Tobin asks
"Y-You think I'm ashamed of you?"
"Where did you hear that?"
"I heard it from you." I say and Tobin lets out a sigh. "I-I'm not ashamed to come out with our relationship...I'm just scared and afraid."
"Afraid of what baby?" Tobin asks then brings me into her arms.
"In Germany it wasn't a secret that I was a fuck girl and I just don't want people's opinions of what I did to affect the way you see me."
"Astrid people don't know you like I do. I'm not with you because you're a goddess in bed...even though you are." Tobin says and I giggle. "But seriously Astrid, I'm with you because you make me feel loved, you make me happy, you make me a better person and most importantly I'm with you because you are the love of my life."
"Say it...Please" I whisper.

"I love you." Tobin says causing me to tighten my grip on her.
"I love you too."
"Let's go O'Heath." Mal says while holding Lindsey's hand.
"We're coming Moran." I say and intertwine my hand with Tobin's
"Are you sure?" Tobin whispers.
"Yes." I say with a smile. "As long as I have you I don't care who knows."
"I love you Astrid." Tobin says.
"I love you Tobin." I say then kiss my girlfriend. "I could get use to kissing you in public."
"Me too." Tobin says with a smile.
"Come on you two." Alex says as she and Christen pass us. "Let's go."
Tobin and I walk with our team and the rest of Team USA through the stadium and take in the sight.
"That's a shit ton of people." I mumble as I walk hand in hand with my girlfriend.
"This is so cool." Tobin says with a smile.
"Have you guys not walked in the opening ceremonies before?"
"No." Tobin says. "Our games where always far away from the main city so we usually just stayed in hotels."
"Oh." I say as we get to our seats.
Tobin and I sit down next to each other then Kelley sits down next to me as the team fill out the seats around us.
We watch the rest of the countries parade through the stadium then we watch the rest of the opening ceremonies.
Eventually the Opening Ceremonies end so the girls and I head back to Athletes Village and, after we get there, everyone heads to the team meeting room. Once in the team meeting room everyone claims a couch to relax on during the team meeting. Tobin and I claim the comfiest couch then I lay down a few seconds before Tobin lays down with me and cuddles with me

"Can I post about us?" I ask and show Tobin my phone. "Apparently the fans saw us holding hands and kissing so they are asking about us."
"Of course you can." Tobin says with a smile.
I smile at Tobin and peck her lips then Tobin watches me scroll through Twitter and scroll through all the fans losing their shit.
"I like that one" I say and point at the tweet I'm talking about.
"Is O'Heath our ship name?" Tobin asks.
"I guess so." I say and type out a tweet along with a picture Kelley took of Tobin and I cuddling during the World Cup.
"You know the exact time you started dating?" Christen asks as she looks at the tweet.
"I do." I say as I wrap my arms around my forward.
"When?" Alex asks.
"Tobin asked me to be her girlfriend on Wednesday May 22, 2019 at 10:17 am." I say.
"Aww." Mal says. "That's so cute."
"Okay you two seriously need to get married because that was cute as hell." Moe says.
"Soon." Tobin says shocking everyone except me.
"Well okay then." Christen says. "Wait are you both going to wear suits at your wedding?"
"I'm going to wear either a suit or a tux." I say then I squeeze Tobin. "Tobin can wear whatever she likes and she'll still be the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Well damn." Ali says.
"I still have no clue how people didn't figure out you two were dating." Kelley says. "I mean you two spent 10 days in Germany together, you danced together at my wedding, and there was that photo of you two holding hands while Astrid and I slept on the plane to England."
"Maybe because we weren't always touching like you and Hope were." I tease.
"We weren't always touching." My twin mumbles.
"Kelley do I need to show you Tumblr?" I question as Tobin plays with my necklace that has her initial on it.
"Nope."
"Smart choice." I say.
I look down at Tobin and smile at the sight of her playing with my necklace and hers then I kiss her head.
"Whatcha doin Boo Bear?" I mumble into Tobin's hair
"Figuring out when to add an H to this." Tobin says and holds out the necklace around her neck that has my initial on it.
"Well." I say as Tobin looks at me. "How about after the Olympics we talk about our future and then we can add an H to both of our necklaces."
"I'd like that." Tobin says with a smile. "I still can't believe you wanna take my last name."
"Is that okay with you?" I question.
"More than okay." Tobin says then she kisses my jaw. "I'd love nothing more than to give you my last name."
"Astrid Grace Heath......I like the way that sounds." I mumble.
"I love you Astrid." Tobin says with a smile.
"I love you Tobin." I say with a smile.
"Alright." Jill says and all talking stops. "Here's how we'll line up against Brazil."

Dungeon Instinct
The multiverse is a big place, and it is also constantly in flux. As such sometimes mistakes occur, impossibilities that should have never come into existence. An aspect of corruption born naturally of a mortal and a divine, a Void that is a singularity instead of a duality, a being that came to be before existence ever was, a forgotten that is not damned, the possibilities are infinite and limitless, and thus so are the possible mistakes in this grand multiverse. But are not mistakes more entertaining to watch? For Kelic the Blightborn, life was suffering. Born of a holy Templar dedicated to serving the Forgotten Guardian and a powerful abyssal demon queen that raped said Templar, Kelic’s first sight and sensation in Quellios and its realms was being baptized in the life-blood of his dying father. Tortured in the 1425th level of the abyss for ten years, Kelic was only set free of this constant nightmare of an existence by the unintended results of the Ascendant Angel’s rise to true divinity. His freedom from the abyss was not the paradise that the young Kelic thought however, as he was branded a BlightBorn, or a child of tragedy that brings only misfortune, by the people of Quellios. Abused by all he ever knew or met the boy found solace in only in the things of beauty and the act of reading, a skill he taught himself. His latent ability to comprehend and remember all of what he read and the sheer speed of his reading gained the attention of a prominent figure of Evrette Academy Island. Taken in by the famous mage Fredrick Dunhousen, Kelic lived in peace for the first time in his young life… that is until he was killed. Follow the tale of a newly born dungeon core in the world of Eserthet, that has only one single purpose. One single purpose it decided for itself...

As a mole. His oh so great ability, which he had been promised?Absorption of biological and magical properties of EVERYTHING he devoured! And so began his journey as a mole! Emotions? Missing brain strands to feel anything of that nature. Joy? All the more! Finally eating, no matter what... Starving is no more! The progenitor of devouring was let loose on the world, and who knows where his journey will lead him... This story will appear irregularly, and first of all on Patreon. I'm mainly writing the story "Healing Dungeon" myself, and every now and then another chapter of Devouring to clear my head ;)
8 122Activation
Will was a normal guy in his mid twenties, living in small town America. He was relatively aimless. Then he got struck by lightning. Waking up reminded him why falling asleep in strange places had stopped being a pleasant adventure for the next day, years before. Then, the crazy started. Life would never be the same, but he wasn't aimless anymore. Plus, you know, super powers are cool. Warning: There will be swearing and casual conversation about subjects that might have some people clutching their pearls. There will be dirty jokes. There will not be graphic depictions of sexual activity, or harem shenanigans, as I'm making my mother read this. That would be very uncomfortable.
