And I Would Give All My Monies Forever To See This On Screen - Blog Posts

*slides into your requests*

May I ask for another spell dear 🌙queen? 🥺

Here‘s my poison: labradorite (one of my fave MINERALS (lol @Z), how did you know 😏), Rosemary and Pendulum.

Thank you! 💜

WELCOME BACK KAMINOOOOO 🤣🎉 Absolutely you may have another!

Let's take this very pretty, shiny Labradorite as a pendulum and use some annoiting oil to stick these little pieces of Rosemary upon! As I ask it to give us clarity - it becomes this spell...!

Warnings: trope, trope, trope. Pretending to be married at a ball of sorts. Reader is female and is the daughter of a senator - and is friends with Chuchi! Or at least close enough to be trusted with the clone rebellion knowledge. Set during TBB season 2-3 as Howzer is with the Rebellion at this point but otherwise is vague. Lots of use of pet names and dancing - I'm a sucker for balls so i dont know how anyone could expect me to not write about them dancing at a ball 🤣

A Spell to Burst Fantasy and Face Reality

Howzer x Reader

You heard your name called out softly before he reached you. A hand sliding along your right hip while the other glided from your shoulder to your elbow then to your wrist and finally grasped your left hand gently. Your hand was then delicately pulled up and back so that a tenative kiss could be placed upon the back of it.

"Excuse me, I'll be cutting in here" your lover said smoothly before undoubtedly flashing a brilliant smile and guiding you away towards the dancefloor

The moment you were there, again, he'd spun you around so that the both of you were face to face.

Raising a brow, your eyes met his dark amber ones.

"Howzer...?" you questioned softly

"How much longer do we need to keep this up?" he mumbled, discreetly glancing to other dancers and their proximity to your conversation "Darling"

You rolled your eyes softly and tried to do a mental count

"I dunno...just a few weeks...or something like that." you mused aloud

"What?" he gawked, although your conversation was put on pause as he was seperated from your briefly because of the steps of the dance.

"It's alright, dear" you soothed, having returned to him and settling your hand within his own

But as you both began to dance in silence, a worry bubbled forth

"Not enjoying being my husband...?" you whispered

The clone captain faultered in his dance steps for a moment before he composed himself and watched you for a moment, surprised by the sudden vulnerable tone in your voice. His gaze softened as he held your hand a tad snugger

"That's...that's not what I meant" he said in a hushed voice, wary of eavesdroppers "This...mission is odd and...and it makes me uneasy"

You nodded gently at the information, seperating from him once more due to the dance movements before returning again

"I imagine Kamino doesn't train you boys in ettique, dance and deception"

At your words, Howzer gave you a sheepish lopsided grin

"That'd be a no" he confirmed "But they don't sound like terrible classes"

"Sometimes they're quite vile" you sighed "I was born to high society...individuals are no better than caged birds. There's little that one does that isn't seen as some sort of tell or exploitable weakness"

Howzer frowned as he took in the information, his mind conjuring up the idea of what a child version of you would have been like trying to navigate this maddening den of vipers.

"Sounds terrible"

"It was" you agreed quickly "but it's helpful for you all...so...I guess something good came out of it"

"You know...when Rex told me I was heading out for a mission on my own...I wasn't expecting to be thrown into fancy outfits and paraded about" He admitted with a slight smirk "Not exactly the life of a solider"

Your 'husband' gave you a lopsided smile as endearing as it made him look silly.

"Riyo was the one that asked me to do this for her" you confessed "She wanted to go herself...but there's too many eyes on her"

The captain before you nodded before he spun you gently, only to recapture your form in the static embrace

"She was pretty hesitant on agreeing - but being a senator's daughter...I have quite a bit of wiggle room that others do not"

"So if it wasn't for you, I'd be out here with Riyo...?" he asked with a raised brow

"Disappointed?" you asked in return, looking more guarded than before

with a tint coating his cheeks, Howzer shook his head in response

"To be honest...I asked Rex myself who was used to being near officials...you were one of the few names - and well..." you let out a self-depricating laugh "I saw you and picked you"

"You..." the gears seemed to whirr wildly in his mind as the song ended

"Maybe we should get some air, my love" you suggested quietly, holding his hand and gently tugging him away from the dancefloor "We can talk better there"

"Come, sit" you urged gently

With little struggle, the two of you departed from the dancefloor and retreated to the small terrace. You guided him to one of the stone benches and then sat, patting the spot next to you

Your 'husband' gave you a gauging look but nestled himself beside you, hands on his thighs and staring straight a head for a moment or two in the silence that surrounded you both. But then he swiveled to face you, letting your name drop from his lips in a dangerously endearing tone

"- what...what did you mean by that?"

"Exactly what I said" you answered softly "I saw you and knew you had to be the one to come with me. It's...it's a little hard to put into words the feeling that washed over me...but it did and it told me you were the one. I was only pretending to be your wife"

His brows creased as he listened to your words, trying to sort them out for himself

"All us clones look the same" he mumbled "That...doesn't really make sense"

"Not looks" you mused "Feeling...just... something clicked"

"Clicked" he repeated as if it were a puzzle piece to be examined

with a sigh you shook your head

"You know, maybe it's best you just forget about what I said." you plaatered a smile on your lips "Just the silly ramblings of a silly girl"

Your name dropped again from his lips this time in a more dejected tone - almost...scolding...?

"-wait..."

You stood up in a hurry and smoothed out you dress, flashed that smile and began to walk to the door

"Maybe we've had enough outside tim-"

"Would you just wait a minute!"

Your back was flush against him and only as you'd let out a soft gasp did his hand snake around you and settle on the opposing hips - keeping you snug against him

In the flash if a heartbeat, Howzer had leapy forward and grasped you wrist before pulling you back to his chest.

"Are you telling me...I've been stuck here...with you...and only after getting me to play pretend, are you going to admit you-"

"D-don't" you squeaked as heat enveloped your face "I..."

With a soft huff, Howzer turned you in his hold to gaze down at you, his arms holding you snugly against him

"Maybe it's time to stop pretending...if I'm reading this right" he whispered "Hmmm...? My dear...?"

He watched with a growing grin.as your cheeks grew darker and darker

"If I stop...pretending...then it's scary" you whispered, looking to the side instead of at him

Your 'lover' frowned and gently tilted your chin up so that your gaze would meet his own - only to watch you continue to advert your gaze

"Mesh'la..." he called softly "Please look at me"

Your heart pounded in your chest with wild abandon as your lashes flicked up and your eyes met his deep and heavy ones

"I don't like pretending to be your husband..." he confessed gently "Because ...it's hard to dance that line. You're wonderful and...talented and playful - and I care a lot for you. I can't wait for this mission to be over...because I don't want to pretend to feel a way that I dont"

"I get it" you mumbled feeling a bit numb

"You're misunderstanding me" he whispered leaning towards you

"I'm not, you just want me out of your way so you can wo-"

"I want a do over. I want, the second this is over to meet you - properly." he explained sweetly "I want to learn everything about you from you, not from a datapad file you and chuchi concocted to give me a run down how to act with you. And I want you to learn about me the same way"

Howzer gave you a look at suddenly turned your tongue to lead and left you feeling breathless

"Are you asking me out, captain...?" you asked cheekily

"Ah...y-yeah..." he chuckled sheepish suddenly "I a-"

Howzer let you a strangled noise as you suddenly leant in and kissed his exposed flesh of his neck, sucking softly on it and leaving a small bruise.

"Wh-" he gasped breathlessly

"Deal" you grinned innocently "Can't wait to seduce you and make you my real husband"

Howzer stared at you for a moment in utter shock but then let out a breathy laugh and nodded

"Alright...alright" he smiled, then added in a teasing tone "I'll eagerly await your wooing then"

"Back to the dancefloor while we wait?" you asked sweetly "Husband to be?"

Letting out another breathy laugh, and wIth a more relaxed look to his form, your soon-to-be-beloved nodded

"It would be my pleasure, darling*"
