《Delicate》VIII. They Were So Fine
Advertisement
Hard to believe, but I'm trusting you on this one.
Waking up is always the hardest part after pulling an all nighter, your mind and body is just so exhausted but you know that you can't sleep in any longer because you don't want people to know that you actually pulled an all nighter because you know you're not supposed to.
But that's not the issue here, everyone is allowed to go to sleep whenever they like and wake up whenever they like, but that still doesn't get rid of the small feeling that people are probably judging you right now.
Forgetting the countless times that the girls have stated that they're fine with whatever time anyone wakes up, as long as they're awake at some part of the day and making sure that they are alive, Hallow was already awake as they couldn't sleep any longer but they didn't want to wake anyone else.
Angel had gotten up after Hallow but stood under the blankets just for the comfort and warmth they gave, soon everyone was awake and spread out in different parts of the house.
"Do hairstyles bother you, Mia?"
Venus questioned as they walked outside to the backyard, Mia looked up from her book and shook her head was Venus sat beside them.
"I love mullets."
Mia added as she closed her book to pay more attention to Venus, Venus nodded her head and the two continued to speak about different things, the sun wasn't beaming down too harsh so the girls were able chill outside for a bit and bond with one another.
Their bond is really adorable, they seemed to be so happy to be around one another and they had a pretty good and healthy friendship which is something that is every person should have.

As the girls were speaking, you could find Hallow trying to help Dahlia learn how to cook as the thirteen year old had struggled to learn the basics of the kitchen, Hallow being the mother figure they were, had taken matters into their own hands and began teaching the girl.
"Wash your hands before you touch the food, that's just common kitchen courtesy."
Hallow scowled at Dahlia which made the girl laugh a tiny bit, after washing their hands, they grabbed their ingredients as Hallow walked Dahlia through the steps of cooking the basic white rice and chicken.
It was frustrating to say the least when Dahlia nearly burnt the rice and almost cooked the chicken and nearly served it raw.
"You did a good job Dee, give yourself some sort of credit for not giving up."
Hallow praised as they took a bite out of the chicken and smiled at Dahlia, Dahlia only nodded and walked out of the kitchen, Charlotte walked in with a smile on their face.
"Want some chicken and rice? Dahlia cooked it and it's really good."
Hallow offered as they already took out a plate and began to serve Charlotte, it was already almost dinner time and Charlotte was a little skeptical to say the least.
"Did she poison it?"
Charlotte asked suspiciously, Hallow laughed and shook their head as they handed the filled plate to the girl, Charlotte took it slowly and looked at the plate and then back at Hallow.
Hard to believe, but I'm trusting you on this one.
Charlotte muttered before walking to the living room to watch Aladdin for the hundredth time in a row, Hallow walked upstairs to go take a nice warm shower before calling all the girls down to have some quality bonding.

That's what they did and still do, they spend all the time in the world to speak to one another and make sure that they were still in a good place.
"The black phone cast are so fine."
Mia smiled as she took her phone out to try and Google the cast, sometimes Google had the Instagram links which is very much needed, Venus noticed what Mia was doing and began to do the same.
But soon enough, they didn't want to seem to stalker like and just turned their phones off, Dahlia raised her eyebrows before watching the TV.
"How about tomorrow, we do a little fbi search and find their socials? That's not, weird right?"
Dahlia asked as they grabbed their phone and looked to Hallow for their advice and/or thoughts, Hallow shook their head and smiled at Dahlia as Venus pursed their lips into a thin line.
Mia and Angel had created a group chat on Instagram, adding all of the girls into it just to send stupid memes even though they were all near one another.
But nobody left the group chat, that was something that Angel and Mia wanted to be in and they thought it was a great idea so they wanted to be supportive, that and because Hallow said that if the girls were to leave the group chat, they would shut off the wifi.
Sometimes mama has to be harsh to make a point, and nobody wanted to test out that statement.
"Can you stop touching my feet?!"
Venus asked as they pulled their up from the ground and crossed their legs, Charlotte chuckled a bit before going on their phone to watch Jasmin edits.
"Keep your grippers off of my side of the couch."
Dahlia muttered as they scooted closer to Angel who happily wrapped their arms around her, Venus decided to annoy her and began to place their feet all over Dahlia's side.
But as stated before, this was everyone's normal.
"Whose got grippers now?"
Venus asked mockingly, Charlotte looked up from their phone and down at Venus's feet.
"Still you boo."

The Shape of Home
The world of Alvelotyl is one of fantasy, one filled with many races, an expansive magic system exploring themes of identity, some LitRPG elements, moral ambiguity and no small amount of magical inventions similar to those in our world. Dragons with blogs showing off their hoards of treasure live alongside [Hunters] chasing Giant Toads, or [Bandits] using rifles charged with Fire Magic. The Shape of Home is a story within this world, and follows the exploits of Yuri Scalesmith, a budding Lizardfolk adventurer from a small country town with a knack for inventing, and how her life drastically changes after she’s taken from home forever following a single catastrophic event. After being taken from her previously normal life, Yuri is thrust into a world of sprawling streets, magically mutated monsters, and a crime war for territory stretching across an entire city. The Shape of Home normally updates every Tuesday and Saturday at 6PM GMT, but I'm trying out different upload times to see how people react and attract others in differing timezones. There will be two week long breaks after each story arc's Interlude. This story is also a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!

Of Men and Dragons, Book 2
Jack, S'haar, and all their family are back. After crashing his ship on an underdeveloped world, Jack found friends and family among the terrifying cat-lizard natives of the world, but now mere survival is no longer enough. They must carve out a new home for themselves in the landscape of the now rapidly changing world. Raiders, politics, and even nature threaten their happiness and their lives while they struggle to deal with the nightmares and traumas of yesterday. They'll need to depend on each other more than ever if they hope for their new home to have any kind of future. In case you missed it, here's book one. ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.
