"A-ah???"

"Ok, maybe I might help you with that."

[ She smiles back. ]

To Mayari,

"Uh, hi, Allie was rambling alot about you to me and begged me to start a conversation with you. She was rambling on and whatnot about how you and I would get along really well or something? Oh Lord, where are my manners... I am Oliver Noiralle, I do Fashion Design, pleased to meet you."

@the-feathered-fashionista

[ Mayari's hair glows into white, while her eyes glow into white and blue separately due to the surprise of this. ]

"Oh, you're one of Allie's friends?"

Oh no, how am I gonna introduce myself without scaring her friend off with my talent? But since Allie told him about me, I should be fine, right???

"I-I'm Mayari. Mayari Sadélle.

I'm the..... The Ultimate Test Subject.

Nice to meet you, too."

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG!? 😳😳😳😳😳

AHHHHHHHHHHH

Me throughout the entire day:

[ Surprised by her friend bursting into tears, Mayari panicked while her hair glowed into white and her eyes blue, thinking that she might've offended her on accident. But when Hazel said that her gift was perfect, she stopped and gave her a small smile, one of her eyes turning into glowing white. ]

".....I'm glad."

[ She gave Hazel a gentle hug, slowly making small circles on her back, and said the words that the assistant needed to hear. ]

"Happy Birthday, Hazel."

"Hi Hazel! It's Mayari. Your birthday's on the 20th, right? I made something for you..... I know it isn't much, but I wanted to give you something."

[ She hands you a jar filled with colored paper stars. ]

“ … Huh, Mi… I mean, Mayari, what do you…? ”

[ She eyes the jar and looks up at Mayari, now fully processing the words spoken. ] “ … Oh… It’s my birthday today… My birthday… today…? “ “ … The 20th… April 20th… That’s right… “

[ They look down at the ground slightly. ]

“ My apologies, I appear to have forgotten… “ [ She gingerly takes the paper-star filled jar from Mayari, holding it in her hands as if it’d be taken away if she ever let go or let her eyes off of it for even a moment. ] [ It’d been… too long, truly, too long since she’d remembered a birthday of hers. How long had it been…? Three years…? Four years…? It was a miserable haze of time she’d failed to recollect, and she let her focus back on the gift. ]

[ How… how long had Mayari spent making all of these stars, just for her birthday? They were only mimics of stars, much like her hairclips, never truly reminiscent of the lights above. But… they had love and care crafted into them. How long had it been since she’s felt that? ]

[ Now she’s holding space in her hands, the stars in her eyes, and it’s hers, all hers, nobody else’s but hers. Her love, and it’s all for her to keep, never to give away. ] [ They’d always thought they could never touch the stars, after all the sacrifice. Ever since the tiger convinced her to stay. Even with all of her dreams… They were always nothing more than dreams. But… maybe, even if she couldn’t fully change… Maybe she could touch the stars, she could at least try to stay strong. ]

[ She didn’t realize it, but she was crying. Tears fell from her eyes and clouded her vision, but she didn’t wipe it away and hide… She just stayed like that, a small smile creeping up on her face. ] [ Even with all the money she could use, all the money she could buy gifts and food and hell, even businesses with… She was swarmed with a feeling she couldn’t buy before. ]

[ Happiness. ] ” … No, no, Mayari. This is… this is enough. This is more than enough. Thank you… thank you so, so much. I… I don’t know how… How I can re… “ [ She sniffs, voice becoming high-pitched and wavering. ] “ … I don’t know how I can repay you. This is… Perfect. “

“ …It’s perfect. Thank you…. “

WIP

who would've known that drawing 16 half-baked portraits would be so tedious 😭 😭 😭

So far... Top row: Luciano, Valentine, Matteo, Tian Top Mid row: Sasha, Soon-To-Be Ozzy Bottom Mid row: Cecile

"Well, it's true that we could run into someone while we're exploring around the academy, and that would hit two birds with one stone....."

[ Mayari then smiled excitedly. Her hair glowed white with blue streaks, but this time, both of her eyes glowed into white ]

"Alright, Luciano and Tian, it is!

Let's go, Hazel!"

[ She then grabbed Hazel's hand and pulled along with her ]

"Umm...hi, Hazel, it's Mayari. Are you okay?"

-🌙🪼

[ Hazel looked up at Mayari, nodding. ]

“ … A… ah, yes, Ms. Sadelle. I’m doing well for the time being… though, the previous few events have been… staggering, to say the least. I sincerely apologize for not being more helpful during the class trial, I’m… not very experienced when it comes to… events like this.

…That doesn’t matter. How are you doing, Ms. Sadelle? Do you have anything else you wish to talk to me about? “

[ She tilted her head to the side, waiting. ]

(*´ー｀*)

🐍 EXITBITION, PLEASE — damon maitsu

im crying over how specific this is bro… SEMANGART YA. PAMERANNYA BESOK SO THIS IS LIKE A SPECIAL OR SMTH. anyway au where edens garden is just a normal school… hooly shit i lowk have ideas

“this is so useless!” you smack your hands to your face, groaning in frustration.

this weekend, there’s going to be an exhibition where every student of eden’s garden academy will present a work they do based on their ultimate, something for everyone to use to close the year. they were given 6 months to do it, and everyone truly worked their asses off to finish it. though apparently, it wasn’t enough time for some people. including yourself.

damon comes up to you, putting a hand on your shoulder and rubbing it. “hey, what’s the matter? calm down” he says gently.

you sigh, calming down a little just from his presence. “nothing… well okay, it’s something. i’m so frustrated that my work still isn’t done till now. 6 months just wasn’t enough and i—”

“okay, okay, slow down. what do you even need help with? what’s not done?” he sits down next to you.

“like—half of everything. you have no idea how hard this is to do. i underestimated how difficult it would be to work on this alone” you sigh, rubbing your forehead with closed eyes, an irritated expression on your face.

“i mean… it is supposed to be a personal project. the best help you can get is from your parents” damon shrugs, still doing slow motions on your shoulder with one hand.

“yeah but i don’t know how to ask for help, unfortunately” you groan, damon rolls his eyes.

“so that’s where the problem lies…” he responds, you grumble.

“not only that, but look at this display” you gesture to what’s in front of you, a table half empty and not fully decorated. “it sucks so bad! literally what do i do” you hide your face in your hands again.

“it’s not that bad. here i can help, i’m done with my display so i’ll help with yours” damon stands up from the empty seat, walking over to your display. he talks as he runs his hands around the table, mentally marking up spots. “look, we can add a table cloth, then maybe put a little handwritten explanation of your work here… and you can add that there… i can see a good vision. it’s not over for you” he turns around to face you again.

you sit on the chair, a little taken aback by how much he’s willing to try and help. “thanks. i appreciate it”

“anyway, we have some time. go finish as much as you can, today’s only prep day anyway” he approaches you again, patting your shoulder. “good luck, i’ll help with the display while you finish the product” he says.

you sigh, dear god. you might be down bad now that he’s actually sparing time to help you, specifically you with your display. and spoiler, but thanks to his help your display actually ended up looking pretty good on the day of the exhibition. i guess that’s what happens when one of the ‘responsible kids’ give you a helping hand.
