Pick the answer that best describes you: • • • • • • • Direct service provider (private or nonprofit) Advocate (state or federal) Government agency (federal, state or local) Employer Union Interested Individual Other Last year, times were tough for millions of families with children. • Nearly 58 million people in families with children (37%) were near poor (that is, below 200% FPL: below $34,196 for a family of 3; below $43,908 for a family of 4). • More than 26 million people in families with children (16.9%) were in poverty (below $17,098 for family of 3; below $21,954 for family of 4). Things are getting worse. • 2008: the first year of the recession. Unemployment averaged 5.8%. • 2009: unemployment averaged 9.3%. • 2010: so far, averaging over 9.6%. • Rising unemployment means rising poverty. Predictions of Poverty through 2014 • One in five children was poor in 2009 (20.7%), up from 19% in 2008. • Projected: 2010: 22.9% 2011: 24.2% 2012: 25.0% 2013: 25.6% 2014: 25.9% Source: Brookings Center on Children and Families Families in Lowest Income Quintiles: Ratio of Income to Poverty Line Drops 2nd 5th Lowest 5th 4 4 3.5 3.5 3 3 2.5 2.5 2007 2008 2009 2 1.5 1.5 1 1 0.5 0.5 0 0 White Black Hispanic 2007 2008 2009 2 White Black Hispanic Millions of Working Families with Children Have Incomes Low Enough to Qualify for Tax Credits Working Families with Children, Poor and Near Poor, 2009 Middle 5th, Income to Poverty 4.5 4 60.0% 3.5 50.0% 3 2007 2008 2009 2.5 2 1.5 30.0% 20.0% 1 10.0% 0.5 0 40.0% White Black Hispanic 0.0% 200% FPL 100% FPL All Working Fams MomHeaded Polling slide • How many children in families with a working head of household were living below 200 percent of the poverty line in 2009? • 6 million? • 12 million? • 20 million? People Have Lost Jobs or Lost Hours of Work • From the start of the recession (Dec. '07) to Sept. '10, the number unemployed rose from 7.6m to 14.8m. • The number of people working part-time for economic reasons rose from 6.3m in Sept. 08 to 9.5m in Sept. '10. People are out of work longer, but most still have earnings each year. Median number of weeks unemployed: » Sept. 08: » Sept. 09: » Sept. 10: 10.3 17.3 20.4 Families are Finding it Harder to Make Ends Meet • SNAP caseloads up nationwide – July '08 July '09 29 m 36 m % Increase + 23.4% SNAP = Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka food stamps States With High SNAP Increases Unemployment, 7/10 Idaho Nevada Rhode Island Connecticut Utah New Jersey Florida 8.6% 14.4% 12.0% 8.1% 7.4% 10.1% 12.0% SNAP, 7/09 – 7/10 + 40.1% + 30.9% + 29.8% + 29.1% + 28.0% + 27.5% + 27.2% Wouldn't it be great if families could have more money for their basic expenses? If they claim the federal tax credits for which they are eligible, families could receive: • Up to $5,666 from the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. • Up to $1,000 per child from the federal Child Tax Credit. • Up to $2,100 from the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. • Up to $800 from the Making Work Pay Credit. * Families can receive all of these tax credits if they are eligible* And states offer similar tax assistance to families: In 2010: • Twenty-three states offer EITCs; • Twenty-eight states offer child care credits; and • Three states offer child tax credits. Let's take a closer look at the tax credits. • How much help do tax credits give to families? • How do they work? • How do families get them? How much help can tax credits provide for families? A lot! • In 2010, eligible families with three children in paid child care in New York state could receive: – Up to $5,666 in federal EITC benefits and up to $1,700 in state EITC benefits; – Up to $1,000 per child in federal Child Tax Credit benefits and up to $330 per child in state child tax credit benefits; – Up to $2,100 in federal Child and Dependent Care Tax credit benefits and up to $2,310 in state CADC benefits; and – Up to $800 from the federal Making Work Pay Credit. So, these tax credits are valuable! How do they work? A tax credit can lower the taxes you owe or increase your refund. • If the tax credit is nonrefundable, it will lower a family's tax bill, but not below zero. • If the tax credit is refundable, families may be able to receive some of their tax credits as a refund, even if they don't owe taxes. So, which are the refundable credits? • • • • The federal Earned Income Tax Credit; The federal Child Tax Credit; The federal Making Work Pay Credit; Thirteen state child care credits and 20 state EITCs. SADLY, the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit is not refundable. Polling slide • How much can a couple with three children earn and still be eligible for the EITC in 2010? • Up to $18,470 • Up to $40,545 • Up to $48,362 Earned Income Tax Credit The federal Earned Income Tax Credit is a wage supplement for low- and moderate- income working families. For tax year 2010, the EITC is worth more than ever! • The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 increased the value of the EITC for families with three or more children, and for some married couples, for tax year 2010. • BUT these increases will expire at the end of 2010. How much is the EITC worth? • Up to $5,666 for a family with three or more children who earned less than $43,352 ($48,362 if married) in 2010. • Up to $5,036 for a family with two children who earned less than $40,363 ($45,373 if married) in 2010. • Up to $3,050 for a family with one child who earned less than $35,535 ($40,545 if married) in 2010. • Up to $457 for an individual without qualifying children who earned less than $13,460 ($18,470 if married) in 2010. Two important things to remember about the Earned Income Tax Credit: • If families use direct deposit, they can split their refunds – for example, put a little money into a savings account and the rest into a checking account. • Families can receive their Earned Income Tax Credit in advance as part of their paycheck. The Child Tax Credit • A family can claim $1,000 per child, no matter how many children they have. • Example: Mike and Carol Brady have 6 children. They can claim a $6,000 Child Tax Credit. Polling slide Which of the following statements is NOT true: • families earning $3,000 or more are eligible for a refundable child tax credit • The child tax credit is worth $500 per child • There is no limit to the number of children families can claim for the child tax credit Families earning $3,000 are eligible for a Child Tax Credit refund! • Congress reduced the amount that a family must earn in 2010 in order to receive part of their Child Tax Credit as a refund (from $8,500 in 2008 to $3,000). • Unfortunately… these improvements will expire at the end of 2010 unless Congress acts. The Child Tax Credit -- Refund • If a family does not owe enough taxes to use all of its Child Tax Credit, it may be eligible for a refund. • The family will receive either – 15% of their income above $3,000 or – the amount of the Child Tax Credit that exceeds their tax liability, whichever is less. Example • A parent earning $8,500 with no income tax liability will receive a refund of $825 from the Child Tax Credit. The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit • The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit can help families meet their child and dependent care expenses. • Any kind of child care – in a center, in a family day care home, in a church, or a neighbor's or relative's house – qualifies. How much is the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit worth? • Families can claim up to $6,000 in child care expenses for two or more children or dependents, or $3,000 for one child or dependent. • Depending on their income, a family receives between 20 and 35% of qualifying child and dependent care expenses. • So the credit is worth a maximum of $2,100 for two children or dependents and $1,050 for one child or dependent. One important thing to remember about the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit: • The care must be employment-related – that is, the adults in the family must use the child care so that they can work or look for work. The cheat sheet: The credit To be eligible, a family needs Age of qualifying Maximum children credit value EITC Earned income, but not more than $48,362 for married couple with 3 kids Under 19, or under 24 if a fulltime student $5,666 CTC $3,000 in earned income for refund Under 17 $1,000 per child CDCTC Work-related child care expenses Under 13 $2,100 The Making Work Pay Credit • This refundable credit, created by the ARRA, is effective for tax year 2010. • It is worth up to $400 for working individuals ($800 for married taxpayers filing joint returns). • The credit phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income in excess of $75,000 ($150,000 for married couples filing jointly). How do tax filers get the MWP credit? • Workers must claim the credit on their 2010 tax return. • People who receive a paycheck and have income tax withholding typically received the credit automatically through reduced withholding (and higher take-home pay) throughout the year. • Taxpayers who did not receive the full credit through their paychecks will receive the rest of their credit when they file their 2010 tax return. Some fine print on MWP • Even workers who received the full value of their MWP credit through their paychecks must claim the credit on their 2010 tax return. • Some people may need to check their withholding (pensioners, married couples with two incomes, individuals with multiple jobs, dependents, and some Social Security recipients who work). Will refunds from these credits affect a family's eligibility for other benefits? • Normally, no! • The amount of a refund from the Child Tax Credit, the Making Work Pay Credit, or the Earned Income Tax Credit cannot be used to determine eligibility for, or amount of, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, Food Stamps, or low-income housing. • A Child Tax Credit or Making Work Pay Credit refund cannot be used to determine eligibility for, or amount of, TANF benefits. But….. • States can develop their own rules on whether an Earned Income Tax Credit refund can be used to determine eligibility for and amount of TANF benefits. These credits are great! How do families get them? • To claim these three credits, a family must file the IRS form 1040 or 1040A, but not the 1040 EZ. • Families must also file a separate form for each tax credit. Now that you know about tax credits. . . . You can help families put money back in their pockets. You can take five easy steps to help families claim tax credits. • Get the facts.

Deputy police chief Kamaluddin Sherzai said: "The mine was very powerful and destroyed the vehicle. They were all civilians. Some were children."
It was the second attack in two days by insurgents determined to weaken the government's grip on the Taliban's southern heartland.
Yesterday 19 people died when a suicide bomber rammed a car packed with explosives into a government building, starting a shoot-out between militants and Afghan forces.
The attacks are the latest in an increased Taliban offensive which has already claimed the lives of three top government officials, including Kandahar mayor Ghulam Haider Hamidi.
Police who responded to today's explosion in the province's Nahri Sarraj district came under fire from insurgents. In a separate attack, Mr Sherzai said three Afghan policemen died in a fight with insurgents last night in Helmand's Gereshk district.
Violence has been on the rise as the Taliban try to regain territory lost in the autumn and winter to the US-led coalition in southern Afghanistan.
Suicide attacks and other bombings have intensified as militants try to undermine confidence in the Afghan government's ability to provide security while US and other coalition combat forces start to withdraw. In its mid-year report, the United Nations said the number of Afghan civilians killed in war-related violence rose by 15 per cent in the first half of the year.
President Hamid Karzai condemned yesterday's attack in Uruzgan, saying "terrorists" were trying to disrupt efforts for Afghan forces to take charge of security across the nation by the end of 2014 when international forces are to end their combat mission.
US Air Force Capt Justin Brockhoff said Afghan security forces responded to the attacks and Nato forces provided air support in fighting yesterday.

Ronnie rocks into Chelsea
Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has finally found the ideal spot to set up home with his teenage girlfriend, Russian cocktail waitress Ekaterina Ivanova.
Appropriately, the new house is in groovy Chelsea, just a guitar-twang away from Sir Mick Jagger's new Cheyne Walk mansion. Similar five-bedroom Chelsea properties with rare off-street parking sell for between £4.5 million and £5 million.
The Hillingdon-born wrinkly rocker previously lived with his long-suffering wife, organic beauty specialist Jo Wood, in a former Victorian hunting lodge overlooking Richmond Park, which included a bar, full-size snooker table, recording studio and conservatory, where he painted his distinctive portraits.
The luvved-up couple also share Sandymount House, the £3 million listed County Kildare mansion that madcap Wood bought 18 years ago, which has a statue of Elvis Presley in the courtyard.
New mantra of the chattering classes in the recession: "If you can't sell it, rent it". But Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has invented an alternative. She and her new husband, music producer Chris Hughes, have turned their £2.5 million three-bedroom Richmond riverside penthouse into their office.

Meanwhile they have moved into a modern five-bedroom house nearby, with a large garden more suited to raising their baby daughter Lexi. "I'd been settled in Primrose Hill for 10 years before we moved in together in 2002," recalls the Southsea-born actress. "But I absolutely could never go back now. The wide-open spaces, shops and restaurants are fantastic here. My ultimate aim is to live in one of those Georgian houses overlooking Richmond Green."
The pair spend weekends at their "very cute" Norfolk cottage near Burnham Market, where "everything is old-fashioned and we just about have electricity."
Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson's mum, Shirley, has sold her Northamptonshire home, Carbery House, for £645,000. She has already bought its replacement, a converted Wesleyan chapel, also near Corby.

"I'm a serial mover," says the dynamic Doncaster-raised septuagenarian. "As soon as I get a place how I like it, it's time to be off."
In 1972 her tea-cosy company Gabrielle Designs struck lucky when it manufactured the first Paddington Bears, kitting them out in their distinctive Wellington boots and floppy bush hats. The profits enabled her and her husband Eddie, a travelLing salesman, to send Jeremy and his sister Joanna to private schools.
Supermarket heiress Jessica Sainsbury is £10.25 million richer, having just sold her five-bedroom Chelsea home through Strutt & Parker. The secluded new-build Arts and Crafts-style house in scenic Glebe Place became too small for her growing family.
"The house has been bought by an American banker and, despite the recession, there were two other serious bidders wanting to pay more than the £9.85 million asking price," reports a friend.
Jessica, daughter of former Tory MP for Hove Sir Timothy Sainsbury, has three children — Francis, Flora and Katarina — from her marriage to Croatian historian Peter Frankopan. In 2002 they transformed a Grade II listed 19th century retirement home, set in 55 acres near Cheltenham, into the hip Cowley Manor Hotel and spa. Jessica's older sister Camilla is married to Northern Ireland secretary Shaun Woodward. Their great-great grandfather John James Sainsbury founded the family grocer's in 1869.

A postal survey of maternal sleep in late pregnancy
Maternity care and sociological aspects of pregnancy and childbirth
Sleep disturbances in late pregnancy are common. This study aimed to survey sleep problems in third trimester pregnant women and to compare sleep in the pre-pregnancy period with the third trimester.
Third-trimester women (n=650) were sent a postal survey containing questions relating to sleep experience, including perceived sleep quality, sleep difficulties, night waking, sleep environment, snoring, daytime tiredness and daytime napping. Time periods reported on were before pregnancy and in the last week.
Respondents numbered 244 (38%). Before pregnancy, the mean reported duration of night-time sleep was 8.1 (SD 1.1) hours; in the last week this had decreased to 7.5 (SD 1.8) hours (p<.0001). Only 29% rated their sleep quality in the last week as very good or fairly good, compared with 82% rating their sleep this way before the pregnancy. The main reasons for sleeping difficulties were discomfort (67%) and pain (36%). Snoring increased significantly over the course of the pregnancy, with 37% reporting snoring often or every night in the last week. Those with a pre-pregnancy body mass index of greater than 25 were significantly more likely to snore (p=.01). Only 4% of women had an abnormal Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (i.e. >10) prior to pregnancy, whereas in the last week 33% scored in the abnormal range. Likewise, 5% had regularly napped during the daytime before pregnancy, compared with 41% in the last week.
Sleep problems are common in women in late pregnancy, and increase markedly compared with before pregnancy.
Sleep problems in pregnancy are common, with most pregnant women reporting declining sleep quality and increased night waking especially in the third trimester
This study aimed to assess sleep practices and sleep quality in women in the last trimester of pregnancy, and to document self-reported changes that occurred between the pre-pregnancy period and the last trimester of pregnancy.
In September 2011, survey questionnaires were posted to 650 pregnant women randomly selected from all women (n=1597) who were between 27 and 38 weeks gestation on the booking list at National Women's Health (NWH), a large maternity unit in Auckland, New Zealand. The questionnaire contained questions relating to their sleep experience both before becoming pregnant and in the last week. Questions included maternal demographics, perceived sleep quality, sleep difficulties, night waking, snoring, daytime tiredness, and daytime napping. Questions relating to sleep quality were based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a 9-question self-rated test intended to measure sleep disturbances and quality of sleep
Statistical analysis was carried out using SAS (Version 9.1, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Chi-squared analysis was used for categorical variables and t-tests were performed for continuous variables. The study complied with the Helsinki Declaration and was approved by the NZ Ministry of Health's Northern Regional X Ethics Committee; reference number NTX/11/EXP/172.
In total, 650 survey forms were mailed; 252 were returned. Eight forms were excluded as these women reported they had already delivered their infants by the time they received the questionnaire, leaving 244 (38%) completed surveys included in the study. Apart from gestational age, no information was available on the non-respondents. Respondents were mostly of NZ European ethnicity, with a median age of 33 years and a median gestation of 36 weeks. Forty-five percent had no previous children; a further 37% had one child and 15% had two children. Characteristics of the respondents are outlined in Table
Sleep duration and quality
Before pregnancy, the mean number of hours of night-time sleep was reported by mothers to be 8.1 (SD 1.1) hours; in the last week this had decreased to 7.5 (SD 1.8) hours (p<.0001). Thirty-two percent reported sleeping less than 7 hours per night and 16% had slept less than 6 hours per night in the last week, compared with reported rates of 9% and 2% respectively before pregnancy (p=<.0001). Using paired t-tests, it was seen that overall the participants' mean sleep duration had reduced by a mean of 35.8 (SE 0.10) per night minutes in the last week compared with before pregnancy (p=.0001). Individually however, 31% of women reported an increase in night time sleep hours.
Perceived sleep quality deteriorated over the course of the pregnancy, with 82% rating their sleep quality as very good or fairly good before pregnancy, compared with 29% rating their sleep this way in the last week. Thirty-eight percent rated their sleep as fairly bad or very bad in the last week, compared with only 4% before pregnancy. Likewise, in the last week 96% of respondents reported needing to go to the toilet during the night and for 65% of these women this was at least twice a night. Difficulty falling asleep and getting back to sleep, restless sleep, and needing to change sleep positions during the night were all problems that worsened during the pregnancy (Table
Women in the later stages of the last trimester woke significantly more often at night than those in the earlier stages (p=0.04). Compared to those at 28 to 32 weeks gestation (mean wakings 2.1 [SD 1.2]), the number of reported night wakings of women at 32 to 36, 34 to 36, 36 to 38 and ≥38 weeks was significantly higher, at 2.8 (SD 1.5), 3.3 (SD 2.0), 3.0 (SD 1.6), and 3.4 (SD 2.1) respectively (Figure

Reasons for difficulty sleeping
Before pregnancy, the predominant reason for having trouble sleeping was "things on my mind" (51%); however, by the third trimester, this was superseded by discomfort (67%), although pain and "things on my mind" still featured in 36% of respondents. Other physical discomforts such as heartburn, feeling hot, and trouble breathing comfortably were also significantly increased in the last week (Table
One hundred and fifty three women (63%) had ever been told they snored. Snoring increased significantly over the course of the pregnancy, with 28% reporting snoring three or more nights in the last week compared with 4% prior to pregnancy (Table
Daytime sleepiness
Approximately half of the mothers were still tired after their night sleep compared with only 10% of them reporting that they had felt this way before pregnancy. In the last week, 41% had napped during the daytime, with the median nap time being 90 minutes [IQR=(60, 120)]. However, the total reported hours of sleep per 24 hours (daytime naps plus night-time sleep hours) before pregnancy and in the last week did not differ significantly: 8.6 (SD 1.3) versus 8.7 (SD 2.0) hours respectively.
Paired t-tests of the total scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale revealed that women's Epworth scores reduced overall by 4.4 (SE 0.28, p<0.0001) in the period between prior to pregnancy and the last week. Only 6.5% of women had an increased Epworth score in the last week compared with before pregnancy. When categorised according to the official ESS criteria (i.e. total score of 0 – 10 is normal and greater than 10 is abnormal)
Sleep problems in late pregnancy are common. In this study we have provided an in-depth survey of sleep practices and symptoms in the third trimester of pregnancy and compared this with pre-pregnancy sleep in the same women.
Compared with pre-pregnancy, and consistent with other studies
Sleep duration decreased in the third trimester compared with before pregnancy, dropping from a mean of 8.1 hours to 7.5 hours a night. This contrasts with Hedman et al.
Those who reported snoring often or every night in the last week comprised 28%, slightly higher than others have shown using self-reported data (10% - 25%)
Daytime fatigue also increased significantly over the course of the pregnancy with 33% of third-trimester women having an ESS total score >10. Consistent with this finding, Pien et al. from the University of Pennsylvania showed that in the month of delivery 45% of pregnant women scored >10
Apart from the mechanical and physical effects of increased size and weight in late pregnancy, especially as these affect general fatigue and sleep disordered breathing, sleep in pregnancy may also be influenced by hormonal changes. While these changes were not measured in this survey, they are undoubtedly important. The hormones oestrogen, which decreases REM sleep, and progesterone, which increases non-REM sleep, ventilation and respiratory alkalosis, both increase markedly in pregnancy. In addition, a lowered cortisol-melatonin ratio in late pregnancy can result in poor quality of sleep
While pregnant women and their obstetric carers may regard pregnancy sleep disorders as normal and to be endured, there is evidence that disrupted sleep and changing sleep practices may influence adverse pregnancy outcomes, and several reviews have commented on this
The main limitation of this study was the retrospective nature of the questions leading to the possibility of recall bias, particularly for the questions relating to sleep prior to pregnancy. Preferably, the same survey administered to the women both before pregnancy and in the third trimester might have provided a more accurate picture of increased prevalence of sleep related behaviours of pregnancy. However, this would have increased the complexity of the study. Ideally, a polysomnogram would confirm the accuracy of maternal report.
In addition, there is no validated questionnaire for sleep disorders in pregnancy, and although we used questions from other validated tools such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Berlin Sleep Questionnaire, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaires, the relative contributions of common symptoms of pregnancy and true sleep disordered breathing are unclear. In fact, the Berlin questionnaire has been shown to poorly predict sleep disordered breathing in pregnant women
Another limitation may be that only 27% of our respondents were in the overweight or obese BMI categories, compared with 48% who were overweight or obese in the 2010 NWH annual report
Sleep problems were common in this group of women in late pregnancy, and these disturbances were increased comparative to their pre-pregnancy experience. Evidence is emerging that sleep quality, sleep disordered breathing and sleep practices can affect maternal-fetal outcomes and it appears that improving these areas might lessen the impact of adverse fetal outcomes. However, definitive standards of good sleep hygiene for women experiencing the physiological and hormonal changes of late pregnancy have not yet been determined and should be the subject of future research.

Medical Professionals Testimonies
"Even tap water always contains a variety of poisons such as chlorine, chloramine, asbestos, pesticides, fluoride, copper, mercury and lead. The best way to remove these is by distilling. "– Dr. David Kennedy
"The only minerals that the body uses are organic minerals. All other types of minerals are foreign substances to the body and must be eliminated. Distilled water is the only water that can be absorbed by the body without tissue damage. "– Dr. Allen Baniks
"The body's need for minerals is largely met through foods, not drinking water."- American Medical Association
"The greatest damage done by inorganic minerals is at the small arteries and other blood vessels in the brain (75% water). Hardening of the arteries and calcification of blood vessels begin the day you start taking inorganic chemicals and minerals from the water tap in your body. "– Dr. Paul Bragg
In addition to drinking, here are additional ways to use your distilled water:
- Excellent for coffee or tea
- For the humidifier
- To make colloidal silver
- In irons and other appliances that use water

Midorima knocked nervously. He gulped when the door opened.
"Come in…" Akashi smiled, gesturing for him to go inside. The green haired entered the house shaking slightly, his thoughts stabbing his mind.
'Can I do it? Should I tell him? I can't… but it's now or never…shit…'
"A-akashi…" he called hesitatingly.
"Hmm?" The red haired turned to look at him.
Akashi chuckled at the stiffed guy. "Sit down first will you?" He pushed Midorima gently on the couch "So, what is it?" and then sat beside him.
"T-the truth is… I… umm… I actually…"
He waited silently, watching him quiver in nervousness. He finds it adorable.
Akashi moved closer and touched his lap. Midorima flinched.
"Go ahead… Tell me Shintarou…" He muttered softly.
The green haired blushed. "I…I…"
Midorima felt his chest tightening. His mouth cannot utter a single word, even if he talks for a short time, his voice cracks in shame.
'This is the first time I felt this…'
"Haha…come now…You can just tell me next time…Don't force yourself."
Midorima cursed inwardly. This is his chance! He can't let it go now.
"Akashi!" He shouted suddenly, causing the red hair to almost jump from his seat.
"Y-yes sir?" Akashi's eyes widened as he replied in shock.
"The truth is! T-the truth… I will tell it to you! It's…I…you…about you…I!"
The shorter one blushed, biting the inside of his cheeks to suppress the burning feeling. He held Midorima's hand. "About me? What is it?"
"I…" he gripped the hand holding him as he took a deep breath and finally screamed his 'confession'. "I LIKE YOU!"
For Akashi it felt like an arrow hit his throbbing heart.
Midorima panted hard and is currently sweating a lot because he didn't know how will he react to this kind of situation. Is it to laugh, continue panicking or just cry?
"D-does it creep you? I…I know… I mean, It's weird b-but.." He stated while getting all red. "That's the truth."
For Akashi, Reaction doesn't matter right now.
"Shintarou…" He leaned close to his face. "Thank you…"
He felt so happy that he could burst.
"It's not creepy." The red haired kissed him. Midorima pulled him closer, cupping Akashi's cheeks. His tongue immediately entered the other's mouth. The smaller one moaned at the kiss his partner gave him.
Midorima released him suddenly. "Wait… my glasses is in the way." Akashi simply chuckled.
"Let's go to my bedroom… Couch's too small for us."
The guy nodded and they both stood up.
"Shintarou, let me suck you." Akashi smiled like a cute little baby.
"S-suck me…? But…"
"I can't?" he pouted adorably.
"Of course you CAN!" Midorima blushed.
Akashi touched his crotch, his lips twitched upwards. "You're quite hard here….such a bad boy."
Midorima gritted his teeth, his face flaming red.
"Don't worry. I'll make you feel good. But you need to do it better this time."
The green haired gave a quick nod… Akashi smirked, he used his teeth to pull down Midorima's zipper. "Oh my…" His thing showed up, totally hard. Akashi licked his lips and touched it.
"Now that I think about it. This is the first time I took a good look on your hard baby~" He chuckled teasingly and rubbed the length slowly, passionately.
"Nnng…" Midorima gripped his hands to restrain the pleasure.
"Then, Shintarou…" Akashi opened his mouth wide and sucked his throbbing cock.
He twirled his tongue around the tip before sucking it again. Midorima watched him, panting hard. He reached his hand to pull Akashi's head to suck his cock harder.
"Nnn…nng!" The shorter one was surprised at the sudden movement, but managed to catch up at the fast pace. He pushed him deeper into his mouth, sucking continuously without stopping.
Midorima hisses between his teeth and groans once he came. Akashi pulled out, smirking.
"Mmmm… Shintarou came a lot… What a bad boy you really are."
Midorima stood up and grabbed the tissue beside Akashi's bed. He sat down and wiped the red hair's face. "I'm sorry… I made you this dirty." He caressed the boy's cheeks. "I shouldn't dirty your beautiful face, your highness."
Akashi blushed. "I forgive you for that." He patted Midorima's head gently. "It's your turn to spoil me… My sexy butler."
He lifted Akashi's shirt and leaned to lick his nipple. The boy held his cry while the overwhelming pleasure slowly builds up on him. He fell down on the bed, Midorima topped him. His hand swiftly moved on Akashi's crotch. The red haired looked away and closed his eyes. It's Midorima's turn to smirk. "Looks like I'm not the only one who's hard." He leaned closer, supporting himself on his thighs. He moves down, flicking his tongue across the head of Akashi's erection. He received a loud moan from the shorter guy. Midorima licked his fingers and entered Akashi's tight hole. He stretched it wide.
He tried his best not to be rough this time. Remembering the previous session they had was rather disappointing for him.
"Relax Akashi… It will feel good after…" He reached for Akashi's hand that was currently clawing on the bed, he clings it on his neck. "Hold me here… You'll feel better."
Akashi opened his eyes slightly. "Y-yeah…" his voice was still in pain though.
Midorima rubbed Akashi's cock in a fast rhythm while his fingers stretch his insides wider.
"I'm sorry if I'm not skilled enough." He murmured, causing Akashi to open his eyes.
"Don't say that." He touched Midorima's face to wipe the sweat forming on his temples.
"You're doing your best and that's what I love about you." Akashi smiled so sweetly.
Midorima blushed and smiled as well. He leaned to kiss Akashi's forehead. "I'm glad."
He continued the action, pressing his fingers deeper and rubbing the inside.
Akashi moaned, pulling Midorima closer to his face.
"Tell me if it feels good…" The green haired whispered seductively.
"Don't wanna~" Akashi chucked and smirked. Midorima's smile drops, he doesn't look amused by the reply. He sighed and proceeded instead. "I'll do it myself then."
He explored deeper and finally hitting his sweet spot. "Nnnng!"
"That moan's the correct answer" Midorima smirked and continued to rub and press the spot.
"Haa..ahh..nng…" Akashi cupped Midorima's face to pull him closer to his face again.
The guy blushed looking at those mismatched orbs and flustered adorable face.
"Shi…Shintarou…" Akashi purred his name softly. Midorima gulped looking at him.
His face was irresistibly cute. This was the first time he saw his former captain vulnerable like this. It makes him want to pound on him right here.
"…Yes? What is it Akashi?" He caressed his cheek gently. Akashi rubbed his face on Midorima's hand like a cat.
'Damn it… He keeps getting cuter and cuter each second.'
"Call my name… Nee, Shintarou…" Akashi smiled.
"Akashi." He immediately responded with a pant. The red haired pouted at that.
"No… not my last name… Call my name."
Midorima felt like his face was burning because of this embarrassing but adorable situation.
'Even cuteness has its limits.' He sighed inwardly.
"Are you sure?" He asked, because it feels different if he does.
"You already called my name once remember?"
It dawned on him. It was that session. He didn't mean to say it that time. He even made his voice soft so he wouldn't hear him, but from the looks it was rather too late.
He absolutely has no choice right now. "I love you Seijuro." Midorima said with a straight face.
It's Akashi's turn to get red now.
"I…I said call my name… n-not confess again…" He bit the inside of his cheek.
Midorima smiled and leaned to kiss him. "Seijuro." He licked his lips and entered Akashi's mouth. He sucked his tongue hard and dominated him completely. He rubbed the shorter boy's cock as he kissed him passionately. Akashi moaned on the kiss, clinging both of his arms on Midorima's neck.
Their lips parted as Akashi came, panting heavily. "Haa…aah.."
Midorima stared at him for a moment, like he was totally captivated with Akashi.
He spoke right after. "I want to fuck you hard Seijuro." He blunted.
"E-eh..? Akashi was rather shocked at the moment.
"I will enter you…Prepare yourself."
Akashi widened his eyes and bit his lips when the cock entered him fast.
Midorima pushed deeper while sucking Akashi's nipple, his free hand pinching the other.
"Aaah! Nnng! Shi-Shin…tarou-! Too deep! Haah! Nnn…ugnn…"
He knew where his sweet spot is, so he pressed it hard right there. His cock rubbed his insides and thrusts.
"T-tha..t…hnnn." Akashi moaned loud.
The guy was quite different today, he thought. He's better- no. skilled compared last time.
"Say you like it." Midorima smirked.
Akashi felt so good but he was too embarrassed to admit it. He wasn't supposed to be saying it out loud but-
"Please, Seijuro."
It made him realize that there's no reason for him to hide how he really feels about it.
"S-shintarou…It…It feels so g-good..H-harder… I want you so badly.."
Midorima's eyes softened and followed his request. His hips suddenly snapped, plunging into that hole harder, sharper and much deeper.
Akashi cries loudly, wrapping his legs around his back like a hug, trying to bring him closer for a much better friction. "Shi-Shintarou…haa!"
Midorima gritted his teeth as he felt his close climax.
"Seijuro, let's come together…"
He gave him his last hard thrusts and came inside him. They were both in their heavy breathing.
Midorima planted a kiss on his forehead before lying down beside him.
"Sorry for acting like an idiot these past few days." Midorima muttered. "But I love you, so I hope I repented on what I did."
Akashi looked at him, smiling. He moved closer and hugged him tightly. "You already did."
Midorima blushed and hugged him back. "Thank you." Midorima grabbed the blanket above and covered both of them.
"I think… you need to carry me tomorrow Shintarou."
"Because my butt won't let me walk."
Midorima snorted. "Sure. What do you prefer? Princess carry or just some piggy back ride?"
"Piggy back ride looks funny and ridiculous so Princess carry will do~" Akashi smiled with his eyes closed. Midorima pinched his nose. "You're so spoiled."
"Mnn…" Midorima smiled gently. "But that's what I love about you… Seijuro…" He kissed him once again.
Ugh this is super late, I know. But of course I'm still going to reply for a certain previous review kay~
Oh well~ Another Anon it is… This time, It's Guest-san! What now? Can't think of an appropriate name that suits you? xD
Before I'll answer all of your questions, let me just ask you first: Have you ever tried making an account before you go all 'OMG this is so painful to read'? Coz I'd rather answer you VIA private so that I wouldn't be publishing your bullshit reaction about my story.
It's also embarrassing that many people like you loves commenting on other people's work as if you've done a perfect story. Look, if it's painful to read then DON'T READ. Easy don't you think? (As easy as giving absurd reviews) Coz tbh, I think you're the only one who thinks that way.
If it's really painful according to you and you're implying that I don't get the characters, then this story wouldn't get any favorites at all. Lots of people wouldn't even dare to add this fic into their 'follow story'.
Well maybe people like you loves to stick on the original. There's this so called 'AU', 'OC' and 'OOC' and they're there to let other Authors experiment on things. Try analyzing that before dropping your review and next time with an account please.
*sigh* It simply bothers me when people loves being straight forward but through anon.
It's like saying it out loud but there's a mask covering your face to hide your filthy self, because you're too afraid to tell it all directly to me.
Now, who's the embarrassing one here? Maybe it's you or your characters if you happen to make at least one story. A 'perfect, pleasing to everyone and an awesome' story. Have you ever tried making one?
People are like books, so before asking me such things, try reading yourself and watch the crap that comes out from your mouth as you type it.
Tadoshi only owns the manga and the characters BUT he doesn't own fanfiction. You know what that means? Authors are allowed to do whatever the hell they want to the so called characters (with the credit to the makers of course)
English isn't my first language either. Because if it was, I should have ranted better than that.
ALRIGHT~ Enough with my short Rant *coughs*
So finally! They're lovers :3 *sighs happily* I wrote these like months ago.. Those times when the manga is still in the rakuzan vs shutoku chapter I think (or past it. not really sure orz)… And I apologize if I post late omg so very late. *sobs* thank you so much for those pips who follows and favorites this story, you are all my inspiration ehehe *hearts* Arigatou for some of the reviews that pushes me to update even if I'm VERY Lazy OTL. Really, Thank. You. So. Much.
Anyway, ((Shizaya in Kuroko no Basket *coughs*)) I know Midorin is the gentle loving tsun tsun type of seme so he's meant to be with my Sei-chan. Oh I love this couple so much~

Fantastic villa with great views and an excellent pool
The villa is in a great location with a stunning beach and facilities within minutes. The rooms are spacious and well kept. While I'm not personally a fan of the area the villa made the holiday spectacular
Excellent location!
Very spacious villa with lovely south facing aspect. Stunning views to wake up to and the sound of the waves added total relaxation to our holiday. Very nice pool and terrace with plenty of lounging and entertainment areas. We had a super holiday with easy walks along the beach to Albufeira town. Will definitely visit again!
Fantastic Villa overlooking the Sea.
Had a wonderful two weeks at Casa Do Mar. The villa is in a wonderful location and kept to a high standard. The kids loved the pool and the ping pong table provide lots of fun.
Beautiful Villa, exceeding expectations
The Villa was everything we hoped for and more! It was clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a perfect villa holiday. Florence was great, really helpful with the booking and answering any queries both before and after our stay. We have recommended it to everyone as it would be well suited to any type of group on holiday. Stunning views over the beach and sea, and a perfectly quiet location but still within walking distance to nightlife, or an inexpensive taxi into the Old Town. Can't wait to book again next year!
Great location but getting a bit tired
Location is great, we walked along the beach to Albufeira several times. Some of the maintenance is in need of attention as below:
No mirror in the main bedroom
Poor lighting in the bathroom
Shower heads leaking, covered in limescale, fittings damaged so that shower would not stay in place in lower bedroom 2
Fridge underpowered and badly needs defrosting
Fitting in the fridge missing
Floor mats did not appear until day 3
concrete between the tiles around the pool is crumbling making walking around uncomfortable
Grill from oven is missing therefore not possible to grill if you do not want to BBQ
WiFi code not listed in the book, needed to run modem upside down to get code, ok for us with tech savvy children but could be difficult for others
Reception did not respond to request for foam rather than feather pillows
Overall a bit on the expensive side for the quality of the villa but rescued by the location
Lovely villa
Have recently returned from a week at the villa - travelled with my husband plus 3 older teenagers. It was perfectly placed for us all as it took around a 10 minute walk along the beach to the old town and the same time to the 'Strip' where the boys visited most nights. The villa has the most stunning views and a perfect way to have breakfast each morning looking at the ocean. It was very clean and a nice touch was having some milk, tea/coffee, bread, ham and cheese provided for when we arrived. The pool was great - of good size with plenty of sunshine all day long and I did pay to have the pool heated which was well worth the money. Had slight problem with aircon in one of the bedrooms but reported this and it was dealt with straight away. Only British channels on the TV were the news channels, we did let them know as it was meant to have freeview - again they did try to resolve the problem, even changed the skybox box. Would return.
Activity and Interests
Beachfront villas such as 'Casa do Mar' are extremely rare. This semi - detached villa has been refurbished, to a very high standard. The villa enjoys a fantastic location directly above the beach with wonderful sea views - they cannot get any better ! The beach is accessed by way of a paved footpath that leads directly to the beach bar / restaurant, which is only a 5 minute walk. There are many amenities very close including a mini market and a good selection of bars and restaurants. Albufeira town is just 2 kms, approx 30 minutes walk, but only about 15 minutes if you walk along the beach. The villa is located within a private cul de sac.
The swimming pool can be heated ( this is available as an optional extra ). The pool is surrounded by terraces with 6 quality sunbeds and a brick built BBQ, poolside shower and a pool bathroom with shower. To the side of the villa is a spacious lawned area of approx 130 M2.

summary: There was no forgetting someone like his Princess. — Link, Zelda.
The memories came as dreams.
At first.
A lovely blonde girl with a crest on her dress that Link thought he ought to have recognized waved from far, far away, ensconced in endless grey walls and soft orange-yellow flowers. A grassy space and guards, a note scribbled in her handwriting, and that smile—
And then the Link of a thousand year later awoke with no proper recollection of it, but only the vague feeling that he was missing something important. A piece of his heart long-forgotten in another life, another world.
Maybe even another person.
It got to him sometimes, slow and underneath his skin; a persistence of memory that had no right to be invading his life.
Sometimes, when Ilia smiled at him, the exquisite smiling girl—she was a princess, she had to be a princess, there could be nothing but that—was a shatter-glass overlay on her face, too pointed and elfin to be the girl he'd grown up knowing. And in those moments, Link shuddered and forced himself not to reach out and press his hand to the arc of her throat, to touch her ears and reassure himself that they were still the curved human shells he'd always known.
Zelda, Zelda, Princess Zelda—
The name rung sometimes, when Rusl or Bo or any one of the adults said it. Reverently. Adoringly.
And Link, well, Link understood.
The dreams smeared and blurred after the first time he'd heard her name, twisted into something a little stranger, a little darker. A white blur that might have been a horse, and the smiling princess stolen away in the dark of the sun—that was what they became. A soft melody, and the taste of Time on his tongue.
Sometimes, they made him sick; dry-heaving as he gasped for air, trapped in a temple rapidly filling with water. Sometimes, they made him sweat; surrounded by dark-skinned women with crimson hair and knowing eyes. Sometimes, they made him scream.
Sometimes, they lingered even after Link had awoken.
They were like ghosts, whispering a seductive lament in his ears all hours of the day.
He didn't know what to make of them.
(Though later, when he did meet the Princess Zelda—it wasn't the same. Wasn't right. She was not blonde. She was not his lovely smiling princess. There was fear in his throat, because what if he had been wrong—)
Link ran his hand through his hair, and paid them no mind.
