Happy Birthday B. Warrick! 🧡 [Public]

[Alternate Text: An image of a beautiful sunrise. The title says: "Happy Birthday B. Warrick!"]

In honor of B. Warrick's birthday, I collected/revamped some writings about them to share with you. 🥰

_ _ _

What if the MC sent something spicy to them when they are in the same room/around other people? 👀

(We are going to pretend that cellphones work more consistently in Fernweh for this, and I assumed thirst traps or a saucy picture instead of flirty texts. XD Middle romance stage.)

B nearly drops their phone, fumbling with it before mashing the lock button to make the screen go black. (It's not like they will be forgetting what they saw anytime soon and actually regret reacting so quickly because they didn't get to fully read your cute caption). They can't help but glance over at you, possibly staring a little, which makes some of the others in the room wonder what it is you did that caused B to react like that. They profusely compliment you later on (likely apologizing for the delayed response); there is no doubt they mean each word and wanted to tell you face-to-face (with some slight blushing).

_ _ _

Prompt: “I fall slightly more in love with you each day.” with B. Warrick, middle romance.

Beckett

“I fall slightly more in love with you each day,” you admit.

Beckett glances up from the recipe he's quadruple checking, no longer as fixated on perfectly replicating Mrs. Dorran's homemade blackberry cobbler after you just said that.

"...More in love?"

He repeats what you admitted so softly that you can barely hear it over the faint whir of the convection oven pre-heating; it wasn't a murmur or a whisper, but a hopeful sigh. A smile curves his lips only when he trusts that you meant what you said. Beckett shrugs off the dirtied apron he is borrowing to draw closer to your side of the kitchen countertop, arms extended to wrap you up in an affectionate hug.

"You got some—” You use the tip of your index finger to indicate his left cheek, which makes Beckett rub at it, spreading the flour on his skin so it's no longer a faint line, but a streak. "Okay, no, that didn't help."

"Oh..." Beckett tries again with the back of his other hand. "Better?"

You lean forward to wipe the flour off yourself before he makes it worse, placing a quick kiss to his cheek that causes you to just as quickly regret the decision when a faint taste of chalk and maybe something baked registers to your taste buds. Raw flour doesn't taste good. "Wait, ew..."

"If it was powdered sugar that would have been so cute, but why did you—?”

"I thought it would be romantic," you retort, nearly smiling at the laugh your words earn. Beckett is obviously still delighted by what you said because he repays your quick kiss with interest, leaning closer to you to kiss your cheek before turning his head to give you a peck on the lips.

Becca

“I fall slightly more in love with you each day,” you admit.

Becca glances up from the recipe she's quadruple checking, no longer as fixated on perfectly replicating Mrs. Dorran's homemade blackberry cobbler after you just said that.

"...More in love?"

She repeats what you admitted so softly that you can barely hear it over the faint whir of the convection oven pre-heating; it wasn't a murmur or a whisper, but a hopeful sigh. A smile curves her lips only when she trusts that you meant what you said. Becca shrugs off the dirtied apron she is borrowing to draw closer to your side of the kitchen countertop, arms extended to wrap you up in an affectionate hug.

"You got some—” You use the tip of your index finger to indicate her left cheek, which makes Becca rub at it, spreading the flour on her skin so it's no longer a faint line, but a streak. "Okay, no, that didn't help."

"Oh..." Becca tries again with the back of her other hand. "Better?"

How would B react if the MC shared that they were cheated on by an ex in the past?

I feel like B may already know given your friendship, or perhaps may have a guess from observing how you have handled relationships since what happened with that ex? Regardless, they will 157% support you, if you want to talk about what happened, etc. They (probably) don't know your ex, but they are now on their mental list of people they despise. B actually gets somewhat fired up about it—not in an aggressive way; they are more so offended that your ex would do that to someone as lovely as you.

_ _ _

Which tarot cards do I associate with them?

B: The Hanged Man

He tells you that sometimes small sacrifices must be made in order to benefit the bigger picture. When The Hanged Man arises in your reading, you likely want to make a move, but don't even know where to begin.

*glances off into the distance while we all consider the ending of Book One* Hmmm. 🤔

_ _ _

How would B react to the MC saying that they can hold the whole world in their hands and then holding/cradling B's face?

B blinks when you reach out to them, but they allow the touch, smiling as soon as you cradle their face in your hands. When you say that they're your whole world, that smile becomes more smitten. You can feel their cheeks subtly shift under your touch and see the pure joy on their face at meaning so much to you. “You're mine too,” B vows, not wanting to break your hold, but needing to hold you as well. They draw you nearer, tucking close to you, although a small part of them believes that they orbit around you and do not deserve to be a world.

_ _ _

Where does B like to kiss and be kissed by mc?

They like more traditional lip kisses, but I added some that they would also be prone to giving or like receiving.

B likes to give: soft cheek kisses, if not quick (almost) thoughtless pecks. I could see them enjoying a lot of little smooches–your forehead, cheeks, tip of your nose, chin so as to pepper affection quickly and sweetly.

B likes to receive: they aren't really too picky; however, if you were to kiss along their ribs while looking up at them between each kiss (like going up or down their body), they would lose it.

I hope you all enjoyed these moments with B. Warrick! 🧡😊

Happy Birthday B. Warrick! 🧡 [Public]

I'm so, so glad you enjoyed it 💜💜 Phoebe just wants her Honey Bee to have as sweet and wonderful a night as they are - despite how much she worries she might have ruined it with all her nervousness and blushing 🤣

Bumblebee

That was one of my favorite lines, so I'm glad it stood out to you. You're right that B needs to build their self-confidence and security in regards to the MC; they can find it hard to recognize/realize their worth. 😌 That being said, how January feels along with Joshua viewing B as their bestie will help with that. What you said about Joshua in particular had me nodding along because the J. Corvin shaped hole in his heart isn't something to underestimate even when not romancing J/JR, though that can put a finer point on it. Thank you for your birthday wishes! 🧡

Aelsa Trevelyan

You're so right about Bee being sweeter than honey! 🍯🧡

Aelsa Trevelyan

I'm over the moon with how you included a song from Bee's playlist and then wrote such a beautiful piece about Phoebe planning such a heartfelt and considerate gift. (Shout out to Alina for helping; I also support her cheering them on from the sidelines because hard same! 🧡🥺 Even J offers some advice, which tracks with how close they are to Phoebe as a bestie.) Thank you for sharing this--it's so sweet. 🧇 (Thank you! I'm glad you love all the facts about beloved Bee.)

"They draw you nearer, tucking close to you, although a small part of them believes that they orbit around you and do not deserve to be a world." - B, we gotta work on your self-confidence. You mean everything to January. You are Joshua's bestie, who trusted you enough after he lost his first bestie. Going to make sure B knows how important they are to the MC. "If you were to kiss along their ribs while looking up at them between each kiss (like going up or down their body), they would lose it." - I'm losing it too!!! Happy Birthday B, they are so adorable.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEE!!!! My presents are in the Discord, here's Phoebe's!!! --- Phoebe paces the Fernweh Diner, wringing her hands. This feels uncomfortable. She wishes she had just gone with her original plan to use Turn the Page, rather than letting Alina talk her into hiring the Diner for an evening. She can't help but feel guilty – the flat, vaguely sad look Mal had given her as she left still lingers in her mind... *Where are they...? Alina didn’t forget, right?* She checks the clock. 7pm. They should have been here by now, is everything-? The soft tinkle of the bell chiming as the front door opens snaps her out of it. She quickly smooths out her skirt and fixes her hair as Becca is walked in by Alina. Alina’s hands are placed over Becca’s eyes, and she grins at Phoebe. “Delivery!” Becca frowns. “Bee? What’s going on? Did you set this up?” she calls somewhat blindly, reaching up to pull away Alina’s hands. Phoebe swallows nervously, and presses play on her phone. It begins to play a recording; soft guitar strums build up a cute, gentle melody as Phoebe’s own voice begins to sing sweetly. *”Don’t wanna be forward Don’t wanna cross a line But if I were to crash in this plane tonight I’d want you to know this...”* Alina allows Becca to remove her hands and takes a step back, grinning widely. Phoebe stands beside one of the tables, wearing a cute, long sleeved white crop top and a short, pale blue skirt. Her hair is in its usual ponytail, held up by her favourite bow, though it has been gently curled. Whether the soft blush is from make-up, or because Becca has been staring at her for a moment too long is unclear. But it’s probably both. She gives an awkward grin. “Surprise!” She indicates for Becca to sit at the table, which has been set with cutlery, and has a gift sitting where the plate would be: a small gold chain with a gold and black bumblebee pendant hanging from it. “You wouldn’t believe how hard it was to find bee themed jewellery here... Oh! um, before you say anything, there’s... there’s one other thing. Well, two other things. Kind of. Um, just sit, I’ll be right back.” Alina giggles at the pair, before exiting as quietly as possible... and hiding near one of the windows to watch. *”Oh, and to tell you is too scary, So I’ll just say something else. And I wish that you could hear me When I talk to myself But this plane might not land safely So what the hell do I have to lose If I just tell you I wanna eat pancakes for dinner I wanna get stuck in your head I wanna watch a TV show together And when we’re under the weather We can watch it in bed....”* After a couple of minutes, and a somewhat concerning clattering crash emanating from the kitchen, followed by a string of curse words, Phoebe emerges holding a stack of large, heart shaped pancakes on a big plate in one hand, and balancing a tray full of as many different kinds of syrup as she could find in the other. She awkwardly manages to lays both down on the table for Becca, speaking quickly before she can be interrupted. “So, it’s your birthday, and I wanted to do something special but I, I didn’t know what. I thought maybe a cake, but you remember the last attempt I made at cakeage, and I would never inflict that on you. Then I thought maybe waffles, you *love* waffles, and I had this cute idea of training Waffles, dog Waffles, to pull a plate of actual waffles in a little cart behind her and present them to you like a little Waffle train, but I tried a couple practice runs and they kinda ended up harder than the plate they would have been served on. But then I thought, ‘Pancakes! I can do pancakes, pancakes aren’t that hard and I can shape them into cute shapes’ So, I made these for you. Just now. They’re hearts. I mean, of course they’re hearts, you can see they’re hearts I don’t know why I’m pointing that out...” She blushes hard, avoiding looking into Becca’s eyes as she rambles. “Then James suggested maybe if I sang you a song? But I couldn’t sing for you and also make pancakes at the same time so I recorded this. ‘Pancakes for Dinner’. I thought it was apt. And... well it reminded me of how I – uh, I mean, you. It reminded me of you. Then I finally found that necklace, which, I’d been looking for something like it for you for AGES and there was just *nothing* here, so I’m really, really glad I was able to find it before your birthday. Then Alina suggested I hire out the Diner for the night and surprise you here. I was going to use Turn the Page, but we don’t really have a frying pan or stove top, So... So yeah. I... hope you like it. Happy Birthday Honey Bee.” She bites her lip, then quickly leans over and kisses Becca’s cheek, blushing a deep scarlet.
