Thanks for the suggestion, @what-a-b3autiful-disaster. I loved the book. Also, if anyone wants to read a book about a AMAB non-binary teenâs story, read this book. I was able to buy it at a Barnes & Nobles.
I'm so sorry. You deserve far better than anyone i can be. I cant give you what you want, but i want you to know that i will always love you. I really tried, but when we met, it was a completely different world.
Maybe someday though, years from now, when i get my shit together and im not suicidal, we can try again
Title: I Wish You All the Best
Author: Mason Deaver
Page length: 329
Synopsis: When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they're thrown out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged older sister, Hannah, and her husband, Thomas, whom Ben has never even met. Struggling with an anxiety disorder compounded by their parents' rejection, they come out only to Hannah, Thomas, and their therapist and try to keep a low profile in a new school. But Ben's attempts to survive the last half of senior year unnoticed are thwarted when Nathan Allan, a funny and charismatic student, decides to take Ben under his wing. As Ben and Nathan's friendship grows, their feelings for each other begin to change, and what started as a disastrous turn of events looks like it might just be a chance to start a happier new life. At turns heartbreaking and joyous, I Wish You All the Best is both a celebration of life, friendship, and love, and a shining example of hope in the face of adversity.
âBut why did you do itâŚ?â
Oliver: ââŚwait, so youâre telling me Phantasmo never got a present from ANYONEâŚ?â
T-oby who was currently in the row of the Walmart talking with Oliver: âuh, yeahâŚ? Well, of course, aside from me and Viola⌠Phantasmo never got presents from anyone else. But, given his reputation with the townsfolk and also his âhatredâ for Christmas⌠it⌠isnât that surprisingâŚâ
Oliver: âwell then⌠iâll make something really nice and special for him!â
T-oby with a worried smile: âuhm, are you REALLY sure about thatâŚ? I mean, not really wanting to demotivate you but⌠you know he can easily kidnap you and torture you and-â
Oliver with a determined smile: âY-yes⌠i know that but⌠thereâs also this small possibility of him liking my present! :Dâ
T-oby: âAlright then: you do you but just so you know that if anything happens to you, I wonât be able to help you, got that? I canât really go against my dadâs ordersâŚâ
Oliver giving T-oby a thumbs up while smiling: âAlright! I know, I know. Now if you excuse me, i have a VERY SPECIAL present to give to a certain ghost! See you later T-oby!â
T-oby giving Oliver a small smile: âSee you later! Canât wait to see what youâre gonna do for my dad!â
One knitting session laterâŚ
Oliver seeing Phantasmo all alone in a cemetery: *whispering with themselves* âAlright Oliver, you can do t-this!â
*Oliver approaches Phantasmo nervously*
Oliver visibly shaking with excitement and fear: âH-hi⌠m-m-mister PhantasmoâŚ?â
Phantasmo giving Oliver a glare: âHmm?â
Oliver slowly approaching the present towards Phantasmo: âUhh, p-pleaseâŚ? A-accept m-my presentâŚ? Pretty p-pleaseâŚ?â
Phantasmo looking at Oliver with suspicion and talking down on them with contempt: âAnd who may you beâŚ?â
Oliver scratching the back of their head nervously: âO-ohâŚ! S-sorryâŚ! I havenât introduced myself: the name is Oliver and⌠i am a big fan of yours⌠heheâŚâ
Phantasmo: âOh~? Really now? How⌠âniceâ. Say: why on earth are you giving ME a⌠present?â *Phantasmo uses his ghost tail to put some distance between him and Oliver*
Oliver: âUhhm⌠because i think everyone deserves a little bit of happinessâŚ? And also because i⌠uhmâŚâ *Oliver starts avoiding Phantasmoâs eye contact and starts blushing*
Phantasmo looks at Oliver confused for a second and then, realized what Oliver wanted to say. He then smirked smugly at them and used his ghost tail to bring Oliver closer to him: âWell, well, well~ who would have thought~? You like me like⌠that. Donât you~? Hmm~?â
Oliver who became a blushing mess: âi⌠iâŚâ
Phantasmo shushing Oliver: âAh, ah, ah~ donât be shy now, here, letâs take a look at what you did for me, shall we~?â
*Phantasmo takes the present from Oliver and opens it*
Phantasmo looking curiously at the pink sweater that Oliver made for him: âOoohh~! What a nice color! And it has a faint smell of coffee to it~ say: who told you that i liked these two things? Oh, oh, let me guess: T-oby, right? Did i guessed it right~?â
Oliver sweating nervously: âY-yes⌠s-sir⌠w-well, at least he told me that you like coffee scent⌠the color i guessed because your eyes are pink s-so⌠y-yeah⌠hahahaâŚâ
*Phantasmo then started chuckling mischievously⌠until he grabbed Oliverâs face violently while grinning angrily at them*
Phantasmo: âDid you seriously thought that i⌠liked your pathetic present~?â
Oliver: âWell i-â
Phantasmo: âWELL, let ME answer you that: no, I didnât like your stupid present! I donât care, you hear that?, I. DONâT. CARE. About Y O U. I am a murderous, deranged and psychotic man! Do you, an annoying little lad, think i would âmagicallyâ turn into a nice guy just because you were nice to me~? HA! Please, donât make laugh~â
*Phantasmo then tossed the gift box very far away and dropped Oliver into the ground. While still holding the sweater into his hands and grinning maniacally*
Phantasmo: âWell, i hope this was⌠memorable for you, because to me, honestly: i will purposely forget you~ now, bye~ and oh, donât bother trying to annoy me again, next time i see you, i will turn you into one of my experiments~â
*Phantasmo then fades away from Oliverâs view. Leaving them all alone in the cemetery⌠Oliver sighs sadly, readjust their glasses and gets up to leave the cemetery*
Meanwhile at the doctorâs mansionâŚ
T-oby: âOhhh! Whatâs that dad? Did Oliver gave you a sweater? Nice! And ohoho! Guess he guessed right your favorite color too! Did you thanked them?â
Phantasmo passing through T-oby with a neutral expression while holding the present that Oliver gave him: â. . .No.â
T-oby gasping: âDad! You canât be rude to the ONLY person who is nice to YOU! Thatâs it! Youâre going to thank them on the new year!â
Phantasmo looking at T-oby with a mocking smile: âReally now~? And HOW do YOU plan on making me~?â
T-oby smirking triumphantly: âYou do know that, without ME, you canât work on ANYTHING⌠right?â
Phantasmo: â. . .I hate you. . .â
After the new yearâŚ
*Oliver listens a knock on their door and goes to open it*
Oliver: âHello, how may i help youâŚ?â
*Phantasmo was standing at their doorstep, with the pink sweater on and a letter on his floating hands*
Phantasmo: âAhem⌠just⌠take itâŚâ
*Oliver then grabbed the letter and opened it to read it*
Oliver reading the letter out loud: âMy neighbor Oliver-â
*Phantasmo shushing Oliver and telling them to not read the letter out loud*
Oliver apologizing and returning to read the letter, but this time, much quieter: âMy neighbor Oliver, have you know that i didnât exactly hated your present⌠but donât get any funny ideas from my approval of your present: i simply didnât hated it. Sincerely, Dr. PhantasmoâŚâ
Phantasmo starting to blush lightly: âT-thatâs it⌠donât expect more than thisâŚâ
Oliver smiling warmly at Phantasmo: âWould you like to stay a little bit longer for some coffee?â
Phantasmo scratching the back of his head and pulling his collar shyly: âY-yes⌠i⌠that would be⌠lovely.â
//moonknight rant, probably a bit too harsh sorry
I have a personal vendetta against people who babies steven, yes hes pathetic. Yes hes my scrunkly. Yes hes sometimes so adorable i want to crush him. But i just cant with people who go "awhh my baby steveennn" and with marc they say "go kys" LIKE??? I KNOW MARC IS A DICK BUT WHY SO?? This is literally what y'all sound like.
Also people who go "steven is such a bottom" naw stfu are we really labelling characters to sex positions?? I thought we're over this, he probably acts that way because-- i mean look at him- does he look like someone who had ever touched a woman before?? Let alone his social life, im sorry i just have so many beefs with people who labels characters to sex positions like this. Honestly couldve been better.
Im probably a bit biased here but my point still stands
