Aegon had been drinking so much that it seemed like a bright idea to take his little sister, who had rarely left the Red Keep before, for a stroll down the street of silk. The street was busy with people going about their business many not even looking twice to see the prince as him coming around was a fairly common occurrence, "So little dove finally left the nest. Thanks to the better brother. I'm talking of course about myself." he slurried a foul smell of alcohol wafting off of Aegon. Drunk men were everywhere, so Aegon's demeanour didn't attract much attention, 
Y/n chuckled as she walked the street of silk with her eldest brother, she wore a beautiful black and green gown as she held his arm partly guiding his drunk steps down the cobbles, she was very used to having to go out and fetch her older brother from whatever pit of sin he ended up in, "Aegon what are you talking about?" 
Aegon stumbled, "Isn't it obvious? I deserve you much more than Aemond does. I am the heir to the throne. He is just a second son. A spare." he grumbled, "I can be so much kinder to you than Aemond ever could."
"I do not doubt you would be kinder Aegon. But it's been agreed since the moment I was born, you are the heir to be king when father passes, you married haelena the first daughter. Then Aemond and I are to marry as the second son and second daughter, the two spares it is simply the way of it. Father and mother agreed,"
"But I could be much greater to you, little dove." Aegon leaned in closer, brushing his cheek against her. "Married or not, I can make you so much happier than Aemond can." Aegon grinned playfully, "You would be happier with me. I would make you so much happier than anyone ever could."
"I do not doubt you would, but there are things we cannot change, besides don't you love your wife and children?"
Aegon sighed and looked down at the cobbles. "You know mother forced me to marry her. And my children are a chore, you are the only one I care about."
"Aegon, that's very sweet and yes I do wish things had been different but these are the cards that have even dealt. We must learn to make the most of it. You know I will always be nearby, you and aemond are brothers you cannot allow this to come between you"
Aegon's expression sobered up a little. "You are right... you are right, little dove. I know. I know we have to play our cards right. I just... I wish things were different. That we had a chance to be together. But you're right that nothing can change the way it is. But I will always protect you, little dove. No one can harm you, no ever shall. Not as long as I breathe."
"thank you big brother" she cooed kissing his cheek
Aegon leaned his head against her. He was more affectionate to her than he had been to his wife at her best, or to anyone at their best really. Aegon seemed pleased to hear her call him 'big brother'. He was fond of that title. "So, little dove. Are you excited to be married?"
"... Honestly?"
"Of course, Are you not excited to be married?" Aegon frowned a bit, then he looked back at you, his expression solemn. 
"Not really..."
Aegon stopped walking and looked at her. He squinted his eyes, and his lips curled into a frown. Aegon tilted his head and placed a hand on her shoulder. "What is wrong, little dove? What are you not saying?" His tone was concerned and gentle.
"... aemond frightens me sometimes. He says thinks, does things, they frighten me that's all, but in sure I'll grow accustomed once we're married"
Those words shook Aegon to his bone. "Does he... hurt you?" His eyes widened. "Has he hurt you since the betrothal? Or done anything to scare you?"
"no he hasn't... Hurt me exactly he just scares me, he often tells me of frightening tales, of fights that end in bloodshed, makes me watch him in the practice yard against the poor squire boys, often threatens to take me riding on vahgar with him." She explained, "the other night he... I shouldn't speak I'll of him,"
Aegon's expression hardened. He hated it when his little sister was treated in such a way that she was frightened by anyone. Aemond did nothing to ease Y/n's fears, only made them grow worse. Aegon felt protective of her. "No, little dove, you must. What did he do that night?"
"he wanted a kiss before he left my chamber, I was feeling tired so I politely declined said I'd give him two kisses the next day but he got angry with me tried to pin me on the bed and take the kisses I owed him when I pushed him away he forced me against the wall and took far more then kisses as a punishment he said"
And he was furious. "He did what? Did he... take... take liberties with you?"
she nodded sheepishly 
"I want to know one thing and one thing only, little dove. Do you want to marry this man? This creature that calls himself our brother?"
"I do not... But father insists mother says it is no matter what he had done as my flower was long plucked anyway"
"I don't care what father says. I don't care what mother says." He paused again, and when he continued his voice was as cold as ice. "And I don't care what he says. I will not allow this. I cannot allow for you to be married to a man who you do not want. You are not his flower who has been plucked already. You are our family, and you will not marry a man who has used you."
"but if we are to follow the rule that no man who has used me can marry me... That would also mean you couldn't marry me" she giggled hugging his arm,
there was a slight smirk on his lips. Maybe it was the alcohol talking, "Oh, and why is that, little dove? Have I taken liberties with you that I don't know about?"
"It's strange... What you boys do and don't remember, do you really not recall what you use to do to me Aegon while we snuck around the red keep, when we made little blanket forts, when we used to... Kiss and touch in what's children should not" she reminds,
Aegon felt a weird sense of pride. Of course, he did remember those evenings. How could he not? It had been one of the most pleasurable memories of his life. “You are right, little dove."
"you hang your head as if in shame of those days? Do you regret our nights snuck away in blanket forts Aegon?"
"I certainly do not regret them, little dove. But... I suppose I am ashamed of what happened, or at least how wrong they are." He paused again, shaking his head. "I suppose I had forgotten that you looked fondly on those days. I had always thought they were a shameful memory for both of us."
"I recall no shame from that time. I was happy as we're you"
Aegon's lips turned up into a sad but genuine smile at the realization that she also had enjoyed that time as well. It was good to know that he hadn't been the only one, and that she had also felt pleased with it. "I suppose I was. Happy I mean. It's just that... as we got older, so did the guilt I felt. I always thought of those times as being so wrong and I felt horrible for it..."
"why? I wanted to play as badly as you did, never once did I deny you, I am sorry if I make you feel guilty for such things I do not think them horrible or wrong merely sweet experiments that I hold dear. And I'm sure if we were to make a blanket forts big enough for us both I'd be more then happy to continue our games "She smiled kissing his cheek
"My, my, little dove, are you suggesting what I think you are?"
she giggled "Depend what you think I am?"
"Are you suggesting that despite your impending marriage, you would like us to resume our... blanket fort games?" He looked at you, and his expression was almost bashful.
"mhm".she nodded
"And what if I said yes?"
"then I suppose we'd need to find somewhere to cuddle"
Aegon's lips curved into a smile. “Indeed we do little dove,” he smirked grabbing her hand and tugging her though the streets so they could find an inn for the evening to enjoy their time alone,

You! Are! History!
I drew some of Pit's fabulous adorable poses from his battle cry in Chapter 5. I love him so much.
There were more, by the way, but I got tired after inking and coloring two. Have all five sketches under the cut:

Communication Chaos pt2
Pt 1 (Tighnari): 
INCLUDING: Isekei(kind of not really) reader X Al Haitham, Kaveh, Cyno, Wanderer (SEPARATE)
general warnings: Slight Kaveh favoritism, my bad. I can't help it, he's just so babygirl. Also Cyno is more of a crack fic than anything else, it's short and unserious, I'm sorry.
TW: None that I am aware of, however if I missed anything please let me know and I will update this section accordingly!
INTRO:
You wake up one day sitting on the bed of a small hut-looking building in Gandharva Ville after being found unconscious by the forest ranger known all around as Tighnari. The moment you opened your eyes and met the gaze of the multi-colored-eyed male, you felt a warm tingle of excitement and confusion fill your chest...however the moment he opened his mouth to greet you, your heart dropped into the pit of your stomach.
You can’t understand a single word he just said.
Despite the obvious language barrier, what caused these men to fall in love with you? 
KAVEH
Your kindness, thoughtfulness, and hardworking nature saved him in many ways he never thought he could be saved.
Words have nothing to do with being kind, sometimes it’s the actions one takes that can steal the heart of another. Tighnari had brought you to the home of Alhaitham in order for him to attempt to decipher what language you spoke, However, what Tighnari did not put into play, was the fact that Alhaitham agreed to ONLY decipher the language, but not help you become more understanding of their own. The architect had taken pity upon you seeing as Alhaitham had left you to struggle, and brought it upon himself to assist you. How could he not? you seemed so lost and afraid, he could not leave another person to suffer alone. One fateful night enhanced his affection for you when you decided it was time you returned the favor.
You often got in the middle of the two arguing frequently, Alhaitham obviously speaking in monotone expressions and condescending notions that told you he wasn't truly giving Kaveh the light of day of understanding. Judging by the look of graciousness Kaveh gives you whenever you stand in between them, folding your arms to hint that you were not interested in being in listening to such bickering, you could only assume you were correct. In the end, Al Haitham leaves you both standing in the living room alone, to which Kaveh scoffs in disbelief. He was obviously upset at whatever it was, so you tried your best to comfort him with physical affirmations rather than words. Walking up to the blonde-haired man you gently patted his back and nodded, trying to tell him it'll be okay. He replied to this with a somber smile and a "thanks," before sighing and standing up straight, back into his normal bright smile and enthusiasm. "Well! Time for your lessons of the day, right?" He exclaimed, grabbing your hand before leading you to the table of books and notes he had laid out for you.
Kaveh wasn't the best teacher, not by far compared to Tighnari or Alhaitham. However that didn't stop him from earnestly trying his best to teach you, and he appreciated your ever-lasting patience and remarkable strength at picking things up quickly despite his poor lectures. Kaveh always found himself rather attracted to your intelligence and hardworking nature, the hours you spent at that table studying the notes he wrote and enhancing your linguistic skills.
He took the time out of his busy schedule to help you, whilst you were not truly aware of the agenda he had and the work he was behind on because of the lessons he had given you.
Night time arrived quickly, you got up thirsty from the spot on the couch they had given you to sleep and made your way to the kitchen to grab a glass. As you opened the fridge you heard a faint sound...something that seemed similar to crying. Curious, you snuck quietly to the hallway connecting the other bedrooms in the small home, where you determined the sound was coming from none other than Kavehs room. Pressing your ear against the door, you could make out muffled sobs and clanking of some sorts that sounded like tools and clanking. this was a sound you were rather familiar with, you had heard him doing something in his room that sounded like mechanical work, however you never had the words to inquire what it was he was working on. With a light knock, you heard all sounds halt, silence ringing for a few awkward seconds before knocking once more.
"Kaveh?" You asked in a low tone, careful to be respectful of the time of night.
"y-yes?" He called out, tone almost in a panic as you heard more rustling coming from inside before opening the door. He greeted you with a smile per usual, yet he couldn't hide the swollenness in the corner of his eyes and the redness of his nose from you. With a light sigh, you cocked your head in worry, "Are you okay?" You asked in his language (A phrase you learned over time). Looking slightly shocked, his gaze wavered and turned away slightly unable to meet your own, his smile obviously forced.
"Of course," He replied with a sad chuckle, "why- wait- hey! Don't just-" You interrupted him with an irritated look, pushing past him and into his room to see what he was trying so hard to block your vision from. Around the room, you saw what you can only describe as an... academic monstrosity. Books were scattered all over the floor, photos of designs and tools were everywhere, with the table covered in what you can make out to be notes and more artistic diagrams with mini models, tools, and mechanical parts sitting around. An architect, You thought grimacing, is this all the work he has been doing? Why is there so much here? you turned back to the red eyes, eyes that seemed to hold so much sorrow and pain. Folding your arms you gestured towards the atrocious amount of work, to which he replied by sighing exaggeratingly in defeat and slumping against his bed with his hands covering his face.
"as you can see," he grieved, "I'm obviously a failure who cannot seem to catch up on his work. The deadlines on multiple projects are coming up and I still have so much to do...Maybe I should just...give up..." His voice cracked, a shaky sigh escaping his lips. You weren't too certain of the full context of what he had said, but you could understand the gist with a few main words.
I see... Making your way towards the exhausted male, you placed your arms around his now-shaking body. He tried to hold back the tears for your sake, however, he now found himself grabbing onto your body with desperation the moment your arms wrapped around him. You ran your fingers through his long blonde locks, planting a gentle kiss on the top of his forehead whilst his tears stained your shirt.
"It's okay," You said in his language, "It... I... um.." You growled in light annoyance, frustrated that you were unable to find the words to comfort the overworked man who hugged you tightly. You wished you could convey how much you empathized with him. You wanted to tell him how amazing he was doing and how you didn't want him to give up, yet none of those words were in your vocabulary, much to your frustration. He hugged you almost desperately as his body trembled as if you would disappear when he let go, shaking his head and giving you an encouraging nod of understanding in your intentions. You gave up attempting to speak their language and began to speak on your own.
"I know you won't be able to understand what I'm saying right now...but I know it's hard. you have a big heart, Kaveh, and I know you'll achieve great things and figure it out for yourself..."
Even if he wasn't able to understand, he could tell by the tone of your voice and the way you gently rubbed his back lovingly that you had said nothing but kind and thoughtful words. This moment was the moment he had promised himself something, the moment he knew in his mind how he felt about you during the few months you had came into his life unexpectedly.
He would do anything to return the kindness you showed him, seeing how hard you had worked in a place so unfamiliar gave him motivation and strength to create a new resolve of his own work ethic, and he wanted to express his great gratitude to you for that one day. And...he wanted to believe that perhaps luck was finally acknowledging him, and you were the one who would one day pull him out of the darkness of his old scars.
ALHAITHAM:
your intelligence and resilience made him feel a lot of respect for you and captured his attention, Something not many people get the opportunity of experiencing.
Tighnari had brought you to Alhaitham in hopes Alhaitham would have an easier time deciphering the language you spoke. He looked far and wide for the answers, however, he had to admit defeat. He had never heard of your language, and couldn't determine its origins. Whilst you had managed to catch on rather quickly to Teyvats language, he too was becoming familiar with your own. You both took time to teach each other new things and managed to work together to somehow create flashcards with words and phrases in which you wrote your language on one side and he the flip side. He was rather astonished at the fact you were able to work with him on this with such diligence, to the point where he saw your presence more of a...comfort and excitement, less than a chore given to him by Tighnari. He found himself excited to go home after his work as a scribe, using a lot of his free time to work with you once again on speaking.
Alhaitham loved learning new things and would take any form as knowledge as important knowledge. He always found textbooks and facts much more interesting to learn rather than human emotions and how humanity works as a whole, and he couldn't put his finger on the moment in which his mind began to change since meeting you.
Ah... that was it.
It was perhaps a couple months into your arrival, you had learned the language at a remarkable pace, and Alhaitham had decided that he wanted to observe you going out in town and running a few errands for him. He provided you a sheet of paper with a picture of a specific set of groceries with their names attached and gave you a day to memorize and reiterate what he had written. Once you had memorized the list he had given you, Alhaitham nodded to you in approval as you walked out the door with enthusiasm. You waved and smiled, giving the scribe a thumbs up before skipping your way into town. It was such a simple gesture, however, his heart skipped a beat at such a small thing... he grimaced at the thought, shaking his head to rid the frustrating emotions.
Thus he began to follow you. As you made each round to the stalls in the market, you had successfully asked each of the stall owners for the fruit he had asked for. There was one specific owner that gave you a particularly hard time, however.
"You want what? I can't understand a single word you're saying. Try it again, but make sense this time," The old man scoffed in annoyance. This wasn't remotely true, even Alhaitham could tell you were speaking clearly, just with a slight accent. This man was just looking to provoke you. Looking to gauge your reaction, he noticed you not losing your cool, yet only taking out the money needed for the product and holding it up.
"I would like that Harra fruit, please." You simply said. You didn't allow the man to get to you, and Alhaitham found that...rather impressive. You didn't get emotional, you didn't yell, you didn't cry in frustration, and you ended up getting what you came for. The man rolled his eyes, aggressively grabbing the money out of your hand and practically throwing the fruit at you, to which you gave a smile and a "thank you!" Sighing, Alhaitham had decided to leave it at that. He could tell you had a strong head upon your shoulders, and he respected how no matter the times the stall owners or other strangers had given you strange looks and annoyed glances, you remained resilient and in your lane. You didn't need him there to watch over you, he could already tell you shared his same idea of "in and out", and would be able to handle yourself well enough on your own.
Alhaitham never thought he would find himself wanting to be involved with anything besides his books, studies, and research. He was never interested in other people and their emotions, Yet he couldn't help but be excited to come home and see your smiling face, ready to learn...a little bit more about you than just your language.
CYNO:
Your sense of justice and the way you always have surprises up your sleeves leaves him enthralled and always excited when he's around you.
He was there when Tighnari first took you in, he had been aware of your situation ever since it was brought up and he would frequently come back to the forest under the ruse of watching over you, he seemed to take your sudden appearance and amnesia somewhat his fault. He hadn't realized you were not conscious of your fall from what he thought was a tree, and fully expected you to catch yourself while he was dealing with some eremites nearby. That was...until you didn't stop, and you ultimately made a rough landing into a pile of bushes down below. It was only then that he realized two things;
you are an ordinary person (upon further examination, your clothing were no where near the eremites.)
You were indeed, passed out from the beginning of your fall.
The moment he really fell for you, however, was the moment he saw you barrel yourself into another person with your entire body.
You had joined him on a light stroll around the forest, around the area where you had fallen to try and jog your memory somehow. You weren't able to speak with him, however, he took this as an amazing opportunity to tell you all of his amazing corny jokes that he hadn't been able to use on anyone yet (despite not knowing the language, he just wanted someone to listen to his jokes.) Being comftorable in your silence while he spoke, you had both noticed out of the corner of your eyes that there was a rather tall man bothering a young woman.
Both of you stood by to watch as she pushed his chest away from him, in his response he grabbed her around the waist, her face twisting with pure fear and disgust. Before Cyno could open his mouth or interrupt the man, you had taken it upon yourself to sprint as fast you can, and barrel yourself right into the assailant. you tackled him to the ground, punching him right into the face. Both Cyno and the woman looked in shock at you, for you had just managed to make a grown man cry and flee in a frenzy. You simply stood up, dusted off your clothes, and gave the woman a nod and a smile, before skipping back to Cynos side.
Yeah. He knew you were the one.
WANDERER:
You reminded him of himself, causing him to feel as if he could be free around you. Or perhaps...he just likes to have a little toy to be around for his entertainment. He would never admit it either way.
Not wanting to become a burden to the forest watcher, you decided to leave the humble abode and safe haven that Tighnari had provided you with and explore the world you fell into. You knew much about Teyvat from your video game, however, that didn’t change the fact that there were many perils and dangers that had become very real. A certain wanderer stumbled across you yelling in a foreign tongue whilst using what seemed to be a makeshift sword in an attempt to do...whatever it was you were doing to that hilichurl. At first, it was pure amusement, however, he found himself far more intrigued by this human regardless of the fact he hadn’t a good way to communicate with you...
It was somewhere along a line of forestry where he found you swinging a sword that was rusted and obviously not well suited for a serious battle. If he hadn't saved you that time, you would have probably ended up stranded and injured. He had realized that you spoke a language he wasn't familiar with, yet kind of...preferred it this way. You weren't able to ask him about his past, who he was, or what he was after in this life. You didn't need to know about him, and he frankly had no desire to learn more about you. If anything, he was rather annoyed when you had decided to follow him around while he was traveling.
You foraged food and made meals for him, even tended to a wound on his knee (He had no way to tell you he was a puppet, so your worry was futile.) Over a small amount he would rant to you about his worries, his past, his troubles...knowing it had no repercussions or judgment for you were totally ignorant in everything he was saying. Yet...you continued to stare at him with...affection, understanding, and admiration. He enjoyed the fact that you couldn't commentate on his life stories, he could be free to speak how he would like around you, and even decided to reward you by showing you how to properly wield a sword. He used his hands to fix your stance and guide you where you needed to swing and found it entertaining whenever you would charge into a battle attempting to put together what you had learned from his lessons (when the only way to teach you was by showing.)
He once decided to leave you. Not leave you completely, but to leave you to your own devices, make it seem as if he had just up and left you. You woke up, looking around confused. You were not even able to call out his name, he never gave you one to call him by. He kept watching nearby in the forestry, seeing you just...sit there. At one point you curled yourself into a ball, sighing shakily before...crying. He knew he hadn't a heart, however, if he did have one, he could feel it tighten in his chest. You reminded him so much of himself, a lone little bird in the world, nobody to turn to. You couldn't speak the language, and you barely had the fighting skills to care for yourself. The moment he saw you alone and afraid, all he could see was flashbacks of his own past. He then realized what he had done. At that moment all he could think about were the people that abandoned him in his life, and he refused to be the one thing he hated the most.
"Stop wasting your tears. Hurry and grab your things, we're leaving." He said abruptly, walking past you, yet not making your gaze. You gasped slightly before greeting him with a bright smile, quickly standing up and quickly grabbing the little number of items you carried to catch up where he ran off to.
Yeah, he thinks he'll keep you around a little longer.

not a fever
See the full 14 Days Collection here! See my full list of works here!
Summary: You're quarantined in the laboratory with James Conrad as you try to determine what the effects of the pollen he was exposed to are.
Pairing: James Conrad x Reader
Word Count: 2.3k
Warnings: 18+ | smut (minors & pearl clutchers, i better not see you here if you know what's good for you); sex pollen; p in v
Things to be aware of: reader's a bit insecure; snarky tension between reader & Conrad
Tumblr media
"Is this truly necessary? This is an allergic reaction to the pollen, which can be rectified with a quick shot of antihistamines, rehydration, and bed rest. You're overreacting, Y/L/N."
You smirked at the tracker's impatience. "Right. You know what you're absolutely one hundred percent right. How could I be so silly, Doctor Conrad. It's just some foreign flora that we encountered in an island that contained giant lizard creatures and a baby gorilla the size of half a skyscraper after all. But you're right. This is probably just an allergic reaction."
He winced as you pulled the needle from his arm, though you couldn't tell if it was from the slight sting that always came with blood extraction or if it was from your sarcasm-laden retort.
"There's a water in the cooler back there," you said dismissively, already starting on running the mass spec to process his blood. "Sleeping quarters are at the end of the hall."
"Y/N--"
"If this is really just allergies I'll administer the antihistamines myself. Until then, hydration and bed rest, right? So go. I'll let you know as soon as I get the results back."
You froze at the feel of his hand around your arm, suddenly quite aware of the warmth from his body's proximity to yours. "I'm sorry. Please, I don't like it when--"
"Look you could still be right, so save your apology for later. Just rest and let me run these tests so we can get back out there already. Okay?"
The only thing you heard was a sigh and his footsteps exiting the lab, the silence finally allowing you to let yourself release the tension that had you wound up over the last ten minutes. You strictly forbade yourself to let your guard down around James Conrad. You were convinced that the man was so arrogantly aware of how attractive he was that before he'd joined in these crusades with Monarch, you were sure that he could just snap his fingers and the nearest woman would strip on the spot for him.
You were even more convinced that if you ever let him close to you, he wouldn't even need to snap his fingers.
And now you were secluded with him in the laboratory area of the ship, being the sorry scientist that drew the short end of the stick to quarantine with him while you confirmed that the pollen that was dusted all over his face when he was assisting in the unloading of the samples your team had collected was not going to cause the world's next plague.
"Stupid James Conrad volunteering to unload the crates just so he could flex his biceps around Miss Pretty and Perfect Photographer Mason Weaver," you grumbled as you watched the screen begin to load with the component breakdown of the organic material that began to spread through the tracker's bloodstream.
The sound of the walkie-talkie crackling at your desk broke you out of your mass spec trance.
"Y/L/N?? Are you there??"
You picked up the crackling device. "What's up, Marlow? You got anything from those Iwi legends about this flower that dusted Conrad? Did we accidentally start the new plague?" Are we gonna die? you wanted to ask.
"I found something in the journals I had that looks like the flower, and the good news is that no. You're not going to die being exposed to him." His wording made a pit form in your stomach. "The bad news is that if you don't find a way to counteract the effects of the pollen he might die."
You felt your blood go cold at the new information. "Wh--What? Why? How?" Your questions came out muted, as if your voice couldn't even manage to form the questions. Of course it couldn't. It refused to.
"The pollen…it builds off of the person's desire," Marlow explained. "It builds and builds in a fever until they burn. Or until the desire is sated."
Your mouth felt dry. "So sex."
"Remember what I said, Y/N. It builds off of their existing desire. Whoever it is that he thinks of when he's alone at night, that's who can save him from this."
Someone may as well have laid your head on a guillotine and let the blade come down. "Is Weaver there?"
"What is it, Y/N?" the woman's voice rang clear despite the crackling nature of the device. Great, even technology bent for this woman. "Is there anything we can bring over to help you two? Ice bags? Water?"
"Condoms?" you heard Brooks holler from the background.
"Brooks, not now," the photographer scolded.
"We'll be needing you to come over to the lab, Miss Weaver." You did your best to sound formal and not as bitter as you felt. Of course it would be her. Those two looked like a couple of dolls turned human, they even looked like a couple, so she was the obvious choice. "To resolve Mister Conrad's…situation."
Her melodic laughter floated around your lab, furthering your irrational dislike toward the woman. "Trust me when I say this, Y/N. It's not me. He's my friend, practically my brother. And last I checked he likes them brainy. Like…mega brainy."
"Please just make your way to the laboratory as soon as you can. His life could be at stake." Your words were now clipped, your entire system in complete disbelief that she could be so flippant about this.
She huffed from her end. "Fine. I'm on my way. But only to tell you I told you so. Now, you should probably check on him and make sure he's not burning up."
That had you moving down the hall to the sleeping quarters faster than you cared to admit. When you got close to the door, your legs began to move faster at the sound of pained groans coming from where he was supposed to be taking a nap.
"Conrad? Are you okay in there?"
The only response was more groaning, prompting you to quickly open the door and walk into the small room. The sight that greeted you as you walked in had you frozen where you stood, as he stood facing the wall, shirt discarded and well-defined sweaty back muscles on full display, hands on the back of his head as he pressed his forehead to the cool wall.
"Are we contagious?" he asked you, terse and peppered with his signature brand of impatience that had you wanting to either smack him across his mouth or kiss him so he'd shut up.
"We're not. Marlow consulted the Iwi legends. It's only affecting you. The pollen was made to make the subject--"
"Feral? Rabid? Overcome with the desire to fuck?"
Dammit why were his words making you hot all of a sudden, too? Damn that stupidly perfect voice.
"I wouldn't put it that way, but yeah. Legend says that since it builds off of your desire, you have to be with…well, someone you desire."
"And if I don't I die?"
"The fever will burn you alive from the inside out, yes."
He scoffed at your answer. "So I'm going to die from desperation and licentiousness. I'd have rather died on the island. Arrrrgh!" He turned around and pressed his back to the wall this time, letting out an obscene sounding moan in relief.
"I already called Weaver she's on her way here--" you said at the same time as he breathed out "You need to get out of here."
He scoffed once again, keeping his eyes closed as he had them turned upward toward the ceiling. "You clueless girl, I don't desire Mason. Now please, darling, you need to leave this room. I won't have you see me like this."
Your eyes defiantly flickered downward at his words and you nearly bit a hole through your cheek as you caught sight of the bulging erection straining against the zipper of his pants, the sound of the velcro of the fly slowly opening from the force echoing around the room that was getting smaller as the moments ticked on.
"Hey, what kind of person would I be if I just left you here to die alone? Don't worry about me. Besides, I'm safe," you babbled, chuckling nervously toward the end.
The dark chuckle that escaped him made you painfully more aware of the wetness pooling between your legs. "And how exactly are you safe in this small room, with me? In this state? I could break you, little one."
Your nostrils flared at his go-to insult. "Ah, but you won't. Because I'm not your type." Those words made his eyes snap open, looking at you with a ferocity that had the rest of your words stopping at the back of your throat in a lame squeak, all thoughts in your head dying on the spot as you saw that his eyes were nearly black from how blown out his pupils were.
You tried your best to mask the bitterness in your tone as you said the words, too. Why was it that it was this man, of all the people on this mission, that you ended up getting unbearably attracted to? And why was it that he had to be a full asshole and still you couldn't shake your unrelenting desire for him?
His eyebrows furrowed together as he looked at you, an almost tenderness in the blacked out orbs taking you by surprise. "You truly believe that?" You gave him a look as if to say 'duh', which made him hit the back of his head against the wall lightly. "You beautiful, naive woman," he nearly growled before stalking toward you, grabbing you by the back of your head and pulling you into a heated kiss.
It felt like a wildfire had caught and spread throughout your body, down to the tips of your fingers as he held you close to him, his lips moving frantically against yours, as if he couldn't get enough. You placed your hands on his chest, trying to break the kiss, but all you could do was sigh against his lips as he wrapped an arm around you and lifted you easily off the ground, pushing you against the closed door. "C-Conrad," you gasped as his lips moved to your neck, his attentions sure to leave a mark. "This won't help you, Conrad. Please, just wait a few more minutes, Mason's on her way—"
"She will be no help, because it's you that I desire," he moaned against your skin, his hand deftly undoing the button and pulling down the zipper of your shorts. "You can tell me to stop. If you don't want this you can--"
"And what, let you die? Yeah no that's not gonna be on me," you huffed out. "Besides, I want this, too."
The only response from him was a sound between a grunt and a growl as he lifted you from the wall and laid you down on the small single size mattress at the corner of the room. "I'll make it up to you, I promise." His words came out rushed as he removed the shorts and panties from your legs in gentle tugs.
"Let's talk later when you're not dying from island pollen, okay?" He only gave you a little smirk as he unzipped the fly of his pants, only hearing the sound of his pants being pushed down this endless legs as he pressed heated kisses up your inner thighs.
A loud moan escaped you as you felt his feverish lips press a kiss to your folds, his tongue darting out and briefly licking into your entrance before kissing his way up your clothed body. You let out a whimpered moan of his name as he lined himself up to your entrance and pushed his way in with hurried thrusts, a fullness overtaking you followed by a mix of pleasure and pain as you began to feel the stretch of your walls to accommodate his size.
"F-Fuck, little one, you're p-perfect," he stuttered. "Even b-better than I dreamed."
Your thoughts were a haze, too lost in the feel of him mercilessly thrusting into you, like he was impatient to finally finish off the effects of the exotic pollen coursing through him. As impatient as he was in all things. But those words. Those words somehow burrowed into you more and more with every snap of his hips against yours.
He dreamt of this, too?
When his movements became staggered he reached a hand in between you to where your bodies were joined, his fingers starting to rub tight circles on your clit and making you jerk your hips even harder against his. "Conrad--!"
"Come with me, darling," he grunted before pressing his lips to your neck and rocking his hips even faster into yours, pushing you both over the edge. You felt your whole body quivering as your walls clenched and fluttered around him, flooding you with his own release.
You felt his movements slow, become more measured. Tender, even. Your heart began to constrict in your chest as he proceeded to press his lips to your temple and your cheek as you came down from your high, your chest still heaving as you still struggled to breathe properly after he'd taken you so frantically. Parts of your mind were already beginning to question if any of it was even real despite the startling realization that he was still inside you.
And still hard.
"Is your fever gone?" you breathed out, small whimpers escaping you as he worked his hand under your shirt and cupped your breast, his thumb rubbing at your nipple in slow, teasing circles while he trailed his kisses back to your mouth, capturing your lips in a soft kiss.
"It is. Though I can't say quite the same for my desire." You moaned into his mouth as he slowly began to move inside you again. "I don't think that would go away for a long while."
Tumblr media
A/N: Would you look at that, I finally wrote sex pollen smut 🥴🫡 Also just to be sure we're all on the same page with this, she thinks "little one" is an insult, meanwhile he actually calls her that affectionately. Because she's smol and he just wants to protect her 🥹💖

I have a request for headcanons of the Gotham rogues having met the Y/N when they were ig sane aka. not evil and then awhile after just seeing them at Arkham, now knowing they went down the same pit they had.
At least they can be a new rogue!
( I'm thinking of them liking each other romantically beforehand and then Y/N poof is now not sane- like oops but you can still date 🤷‍♀️ )
Hi dear, thank you for your request! And so sorry for the delay! I like the concept, it's a really plausible one. The idea of them meeting each other again in Arkham and bonding because of their common misfortune and spiralling to hell is a very good one! *Barbara vibes here*😂
I made scenarios with the reader being friend or sort of with the villains first, since I thought it would be fitting, I hope it's ok for you dear. I went with: Ed, Oswald, Victor and Jonathan. Tell me if you want to read more headcanons with other villains.
So here it is:
Warning: violence, blood, mental illness, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt, Arkham (hey, it can be traumatising, ask Oswald and Ed), English is not my first language I'm working on it.
Word Count: 3.685
GOTHAM VILLAINS HAVING MET THE READER WHEN THEY WERE SANE
EDWARD NYGMA / THE RIDDLER
Tumblr media
You were Kringle's coworker and met Eddy at the GCPD.
Even if you worked with the other woman you were never really close, mostly because of the awful way she treated Ed at first.
Even if he was a dork, you used to find him endearing and always gave his riddles a shot, succeeding or not to answer correctly.
If you were good at riddles, Ed would immediately become your partner in riddle-crime, always searching for a good one able to stump you.
If riddles weren't your forte, he appreciated your effort and gentleness. You really were trying and he really loved the spark of comprehension in your eyes when he would give you the correct answer and how you would facepalm and curse at how obvious it was when you were thinking about it.
Your closeness would earn you a lot of teasing from Jim, Harvey and the other cops, most of the times it would be mean remarks targeting Ed, though.
But you both knew the truth: Nygma was still obsess with Kringle. You, on the other hand, always had a soft spot for him. You didn't need to be a genius, though, to know your attraction for dear Ed was only a one side one. So you never told him anything about it.
When Ed started to lose it, you truly were horrified. Why? How? What was happening to him? You did your best to team up with Jim in order to bring your lovely co-worker back to you.
You already know the result: it will be an epic fail. For Jim, you and finally Ed who will be send to Arkham.
Then, your own little descent into hell happened.
Without Ed, you were now the new GCPD's scapegoat. Those guys never learn anything, right?
Hell at work and in your personal life: losing a close relative, meeting someone who hurt you badly, money issues, illness... choose your weapon and be ready to see your uneventful life burst into flames for the worse...or maybe the better?
You would wreak absolute havoc in Gotham, so much, Gordon himself had to go after you and managed to arrest you.
"What happened to you Y/N?! Ed wasn't enough? Why did you have to follow his path?!" He asked-yelled, the deep hurt visible in his eyes.
Goodbye Gotham, hello Arkham. Guess who you met again here?
“No waaay ∼ Look at you my dear, you are positively stunning!” His taunting voice would call you from the other side of the refectory. “Did you missed me so much you decided to pursue me here? My, oh my, I’m honoured!” *Yes, you can hit his pompous ass, please do it*
Riddler had to stop his mocking, though. When he saw you so numb, his felt his heart clench painfully. He appreciated you a lot back then. And seeing you so hollow made him drop his cocky act. 
“Are you ok dear?” He would ask, joining you at your table and cautiously seating in front of you with his brows furrowed. “What happened?”
And you would tell him. How your life became a living hell when he was gone. How everything crumbled around you until your mind didn’t have any other choice than snap. 
Goodness. He empathized. He truly did. His own snapping was relatively fresh after all. 
He would make his own little mission to protect you from Strange and his little human experiments, he would try his best to lift your spirit and even create special riddles only for you. Don’t worry about answering wrong, you wouldn’t die for it, he swore. 
Now that Kringle was out of the picture, Ed would finally see you. See how you were always kind with his dork him, how you tried to save him when everything went south for him, how you would discreetly wrinkle your cute nose when something was bothering you but you were too polite to point it out loud. God what was he thinking while running after his previous doomed love when you, who never tried to change anything with him, was just under his nose. He would feel like the biggest fool into the whole city let me tell you. 
He wouldn’t mind you being now judged as insane. He wouldn’t mind your illness. He would only mind how a blushing mess he was gradually becoming when you were near him. And he would only mind about ensuring your security: inside of Arkham, outside of it when he would convince Oswald to get you out too. 
Be ready to be the one receiving muffins with a bullet in it, flowers, poems, and any romantic gift you can think about. 
Bonus: he will always keep a picture of the two of you inside of his wallet. You both were in Arkham’s uniform at the cafeteria while he was teaching you how to play chess with a paper handmade one he created just for you. He would never admit it to anyone but he thought you were the cutest thing in your uniform.

OSWALD COBBLEPOT / THE PENGUIN
Tumblr media
You fist met Oswald when he entered the little tailor shop you owned.
He needed a new suit for his grand debuts in the mafia’s world, when he started to work for Fish. 
He wouldn’t be very kind during his first visits. But he came back every times, finding your sense of fashion and sewing technique terrific. 
He finally decided to compliment them once, bringing you to talk about a lot of things: suits, buttons, and more dangerous subjects like his mother and his growing criminal career. Nothing too touchy, though. Oswald is a cautious little thing and he also didn’t want you to sell any information or, if you really were as kind as you looked, make you a target if anyone wanted to hurt him. 
Soon, you would become his little secret. His breath of fresh air. He would even try to hide your friendship to his dear mother, too afraid she insults you or demand him to stop seeing you. 
But Gertrude is perceptive in her own way and would suspect something. Because of Oswald’s stupid happy smile whenever he was putting one of your creation, she would stay silent and let him think he was so good at keeping secrets. She swore to tore you apart if you ever dare to break his lovely son’s heart, though. 
Your relationship reached an important point when he would met you just after Fish defeat and flee, thanks to Victor. His clothes and face were a total mess. 
So you patched his suit and him, without asking questions you knew he wouldn’t answer. 
But he decided to speak. Well, not really speak, he vented. His nerves cracking and his temper starting to get the best of him. He always tried to keep it tamed near you, too afraid about your possible reaction. 
You didn’t run away. You let him yell, smash his hands and fists against your furniture, and offered him some tea, fruits and biscuits. 
“Poof” angry Oswald was now tamed. You’re a wizard/witch reader, be ready to receive a letter from Hogwarts in the following days.
After this, Cobblepot’s fondness for you will know no limit. As his dear friend, he would always make sure your shop and you were ok, even when everything around him was burning. 
But Gotham is Gotham, you know. Trouble, misery, and disasters always find their way to you. 
It started with an arson. Your shop was burned to the very ground. By who? Oswald swore to investigate and help you build it back, even better than before. 
But he wasn’t that rich at this time, so you did what any citizen would have done: you called the insurance, you went to the illustrious Gotham Central Bank and ask for their help to lend you the funds you needed. 
Condensed, their answer was pretty much a: “LMAO no fucking way, please go die somewhere in the dark alone.” Pretty much. With prettier and complex words, but the meaning was the same. 
Oswald was livid. You too. But you’ll eventually find a way to back up on your feet. Right? *Spoiler: no*
Your chance definitely left you when a few weeks later, Oswald get caught and sent to Arkham, letting you all alone to deal with your problem and Cobblepot’s foes who somehow had heard about you. 
Domino effect. It would always be your answer to the “What happened to you?” inevitable question. You lost it. You snapped. Nobody, except Oswald, was keen on helping you in this hell hole. Nobody would care if you were to die alone in a dark and shady alley. 
Why would you care about robbing the bank then? And other banks, galleries, rich people in town? Money was the key. You needed money. In fact, it became your obsession. Money will guarantee you a home, you will never lose yours ever again. Money will guarantee you security, power, and quick solutions whenever you may be in need for one. 
You get caught too. Your total obsession for money making you the perfect new candidate to the only asylum in town. Not like you cared. Your precious money was safe, you made sure of it. But from Arkham, it would be a little bit difficult to reach. 
Life decided to stop being a bitch when you saw your dear friend again. 
“Y/N?!” You heard him yell when you were escorted to the cell next to his own. “Oh my god my dear, I am so sorry I wasn’t here for you! But what are you doing here! It must be a mistake! Guards! Let us go this instant, we aren’t mentally ill for heaven’s sake!” 
Like Ed, Oswald will make sure no harm was done to you in Arkham. Yes, he would even protect you from Jerome. He would never let the freak touch a single hair of your head. You were too precious. 
Oswald would also make sure to get you out. Even after Strange little mind game on him. He would never forget you or judge you a bad influence for him. 
Of course he’ll notice your newfound obsession for money. But he understands. Better, he will make sure to help you make and steal a lot of it. 
He asked you to move in with him during his mayor campaign, implored you to stay during his Gotham’s throne conquest - for your own security. In fact, he will want you with him at all times. You, his dearest friend. The only one who, he knew, would never turn their back on him. 
Be ready to catch him facing empty chairs a few times when you come back home. “Don’t panic, he’s practicing his confession,” Olga told you in her language that you obviously don’t understand a word about. 
Gifts. Gifts everywhere. Everyday. For no reason. He likes to spoil you rotten. “Can’t you see this boy fell head over heels for you, idiot?” Would sigh Olga every time. Of course, both of you will miss it every time, demanding her to speak in freaking ENGLISH... Poor you guys... It will take ages.

VICTOR ZSASZ
Tumblr media
Victor met you for the first time at the Lady's illegal casino.
You weren't an assassin yourself, by no means. Just here to work as an accountant. You knew about the Lady's business and ensure she never had any issue with her money, writing her contracts for her and it was all.
When the most famous assassin in town showed his bald head in the casino and the Lady wasn't here, he pretexted he was "just passing by" and got lost here. Dude... I mean...
You had to facepalm. Which made him laugh like an idiot. You knew who he was, but also were accustomed to assassins at this point so it wasn't like you were going to pee in your pants while being in front of him. He liked it.
You introduced yourself properly and explained you worked for the Lady and was aware he was supposed to come to see her.
You offered him a drink on the house and humor him with small talk while waiting for your boss.
When she finally showed up, the three of you moved in a seclude area to talk business. Something about a contract the Lady wanted to make with Victor, with the benediction of Carmine Falcone.
He was amazed by how composed and organized you were. Clinical. Like any good assassin should be, even if you weren't one. He absolutely loved your quick wit and the dark jokes you would offer from time to time to help lightening the mood when tension was getting too intense. Damn, you were good!
Victor being Victor, he quickly became fascinated by you, following you everywhere in town with or without you knowing.
You caught him stalking you once when you stopped by a pizza truck, asking for a calzone.
"Add one pepperoni please. Oh! And a milkshake too." Came his voice from behind you, making you jump out of your skin and curse him like a sailor.
"What the hell?! Are you following me? I mean, for real?! DUDE!" You yelled in pure outrage.
He wouldn't even try to hide it. Simply offering you his irritating "Uh-uh".
"What for? Plan to kill me or something?" You asked.
His long silence wasn't mean to threaten you, no. He was admiring your nerves of steel. Also questioning your sanity a bit, truth be told. But since you made him a really good impression so far, he decided you were impressive.
"Not today", he just said with a shrug. Ok, so he wanted to play friends or something so stupidly mondain like this. Again, you decided to humor him.
Guess what, after a few times of totally not planned encounters, you started to really get close to each other. Even exchange numbers at some point.
He would always find the time to pay you a little visit at the casino at the end of your shift and appreciate the strange normalcy it gave him.
Everything was fine until one day, the Lady's illegal casino was under attack, getting nearly everyone killed brutally.
You survived somehow. You weren't an assassin but it didn't mean they didn't taught you a thing or two, like surviving *the irony* or using weapons.
When the GCPD FINALLY arrived, they caught you, covered in blood and utterly shocked. You were still processing everything happening and your world falling apart.
Your distressed attitude and shock were the main reasons why you were send to Arkham, in hope they would help you to get through it and release you after it.
They didn't plan the bloodbath would have turned one very dangerous switch inside of you. The blood, the thrill, the smell of powder, the pure rush of adrenaline. God you wanted more.
A month later maybe, guess who also found his ass in the same facility? But yes of course: Victor Zsasz.
His goofy grin threatened to split his jaw in half when he saw you: "Hey Sweets! Knew you survived!"
It wouldn't need much for him to understand what switch was activated inside of you. And he was positively thrilled by it!
He offered to train you, respected when you declined joining the Zsaszettes and came with another idea: introduce you to Falcone/Oswald (depending on where you want to stand in the timeline) and make you their brand new accountant-assassin.
Be ready to find him glued to you at anytime, you were his little secret crush back then, you're now his new God/Goddess and nothing will stop him to worship you properly, not even you. You'll see you were made for each other, eventually.

JONATHAN CRANE / SCARECROW
Tumblr media
You were Jonathan's classmate and friend.
You weren't as easy spook as him so you often where his emotional support and bodyguard, especially at school with bullies. No need to be a total badass, your fondness for him was enough to give you the courage to shut up the boys or girls making fun of him and you, or give them a proper beating if you feel like so.
His sensibility always touched you deeply, and you were always here whenever he needed to vent about something or talk about his fears.
This is how you learned about the arson taking the life of his mother. The gradual shutting of his father and his obsession with fear and how to tame it.
When it was only researches, you found yourself really interested in Jonathan's father discoveries, as much as Jonathan himself. He was always a little genius in science and physics. Share it with him or not, your interest for the fear field wasn't feigned.
He gladly explained whatever you didn't understand and even suggested a few theories, sharing them with you.
It could have stayed this way, a passion, a subject of research. But it had to escalate when Jon's father started to look for unwilling test subjects.
You weren't aware of it at first. Unsuspecting, until you found Jonathan doubled in half on the floor of the school's bathroom one day, crying like a river and mumbling nonsense about him being a monster and going straight to hell.
You rushed to him, crouching at his level and tried to shake him out of his shock. "Jon'! Hey! Look at me! What are you talking about, you're no monster! Something happened? Please talk to me."
Poor boy was an absolute mess but managed to hear you and let you help him to sit. And he spoke. Oh good lord, he spoke for an hour or so, telling you everything about his father and what he was doing to poor gothamites. How he was forced into this total craziness and how he started to fear his father will ask him to use you as a test subject one day.
Horrified. That's how you felt, frankly. You had to stay silent for a good five minutes to process everything your friend just told you.
But you liked Jonathan, and he wasn't responsible of his father madness, right?
You comforted him, swearing it was not his fault and he wasn't a monster.
When he finally stopped crying, you swore to him that you'll never tell it to anyone, not even the police *You were teens. Teens do stupid things like this. Well, adults too when you think about it...*
He would come to you every time his father would terrify some innocent in town, crying for hours on your shoulders.
When his dad used the toxin on him, he was on phone with you, making you yell bloody murder on the other side of the line and dropping everything you were doing to run to his house.
You crumbled when you saw your best friend on the ground under his phobia: a huge scarecrow, yelling, crying and spasming like he was having a heart attack. You rushed to him and pushed Harvey away, "He's my friend! Oh my god! Please do something!" You pleaded in tears, having to be manhandled by Jim to allow emergency services to reach him.
You were at the hospital everyday, hating you for not having call the GCPD sooner. Maybe it would have saved Jon. The guilt was eating you alive. When the docteur told you he was a lost cause, you felt like going into a tailspin. Then, came the numbness.
When Jonathan was transferred into an asylum where visits weren't allowed, you made a new friend: depression.
Nothing could help you, you wanted to die. Die for being responsible of your friend distress, die because all you were able to feel was pain.
You went to his house one day, when the guilt and pain were too much to bear. You found yourself inside his father's old office and started to rummage around his things. There, a syringe. With some shady yellow liquid floating inside of it.
You didn't had any idea about what was inside. But at this point, you didn't care any more. You took it in your hands, looked at it just a second before plunging it directly on your upper arm, emptying it in it.
Your yells of absolute terror were what made neighbors call the police, thinking a murder was happening in Crane's old house. When Gordon and Bullock found you, they felt ice in their veins. You were Jonathan's friend. The one who found him with them that night. The one who always was by his side at the hospital before his transfer. Jim felt he failed you. Harvey too.
You went through the exact same hell as Jonathan. First the delirium, the nightmares... When you finally managed to wake up, your diagnosis was the same as him: a lost cause. Arkham was your new stop. They didn't want to send you to the same facility's Jonathan was in, too afraid it would be too much of a shock for both of you guys.
Oh but fate has its own ways. And you finally saw each other again, years later. When he was now incarcerated as Scarecrow.
He recognized you immediately. Not believing what he was seeing. What happened to you? He tried to find you when he started his criminal career but it was like your very existence vanished from earth.
He was always perceptive. A minute was enough for him to understand: you were exposed to his toxin. Well, to his father's toxin.
He was as sorry for you as he was impress when you explained him you took the same dose of toxin he took a few years back and was still living to tell the tale.
Since you were his friend *cough* and also school sweetheart *cough*, and now totally immune to his fear toxin, he decided it was time for him to take care of you and make sure you were always safe.
Be ready for a clingy best friend-lover, for cuddles every times you two are alone, to weird scary gifts, halloween chocolates, dead flowers and basically any weird thing he would find romantic or cute.
A/N - I hope you liked it! Have a beautiful day/night my dear, take care!

10 comebacks to a woman who once told my best friend, then a chicagoan (like i was), "i love coming to chicago because in new york i'm an 8 but in chicago i'm a 10"
"exactly, that's something i love about living here, you know? it's not as surface-oriented and shallow as some other cities. like, the culture's just a little deeper and a little smarter than in places where everyone's only concentrating on looking their best at all times, you know?"
"oh wow, you really said that with your out-loud voice, huh?"
(LAUGHTER) "yeah, you're a ten here. sure you are." (LAUGHTER)
"just wondering: in the moments before that comment left your mouth, did you take a second to imagine how we, a bunch of people who very obviously live in chicago, would react? if no, why not? if yes, what on earth did you see? please write in complete sentences in the booklet provided. you will have thirty minutes."
"my god, do you assign yourself a number comparing your appearance to the appearances of the people around you everywhere you go? you know we have a limited amount of time on this earth, right? you know that after that, we die and death is forever, right?"
"hurrah, i've done it! i've finally met the one human on the planet who is capable of objectively, correctly assessing the relative attractiveness of everyone everywhere on earth. please, oh please pray tell: what number am i? what number is he? what number is she? numbers all around, please!"
"what an exhausting way to live. what a tiring way of interacting with other people. what a dispiriting way to view the world around you, a world teeming with life and strangeness and possibility. serious question: are you alright?"
"i was going to make a crack about new yorkers being looks-obsessed, but in retrospect i have no idea why. i'm sorry. i genuinely have nothing against nyc, a location i have visited only a handful of times, including one trip to see the very person to whom you made your ill-advised remark, lo these years ago, and we had what i would call a magical time. i don't actually understand pitting one city against another. i don't understand the mentality that there must always be a ranking, must always be a competition, must always, always be a winner and a loser. also if you're a ten, everyone else here is a twelve, baby."
"on some level, i do understand that eventually this ceases to be a piece about the irritating thing a friend's work colleague once said, and instead becomes a chronicle of my own deranged inability to let a grudge go—even a petty grudge, even a second-hand grudge, even a grudge which i am again compelled to inform you saw its spark of creation multiple years and several moves ago. (neither the friend nor i live in chicago anymore.) on some level, i understand that this turning point, the moment where any sensible reader went "yikes, jess really hasn't let this go, huh?" might have happened in the very title of this post. i have never met you, woman who maybe five years ago told some chicagoans you worked with that you're an 8 in new york and a 10 in chicago. you could have changed since then. you could have grown and deepened and evolved your thinking. i do believe people are capable of learning. maybe you even remember saying it, and regret it now. maybe not. but to be honest, worse things have been said—to me, to my best friend, to everyone who has been on this planet longer than a few years. life is exhausting and scary and wonderful and we are all going to die some day. you are an adult and that means you have had hard days, hard weeks, hard years even. you have been heartbroken, and sick with worry, and you have known terror, real terror, that animal fear that crawls up the spine and screams in the brain, and yet you found it in yourself to get in a airplane and fly halfway across a large country to be here, for the sake of a job you might not even like. we are all doing the best we can. i have to believe we are all doing the best we can. i could have written this post about anything. there were near-infinite possibilities and i chose this, a mean little caricature, and in trying to paint you, only managed a quick and unflattering sketch of me, a person obsessed with being right and being clever, but who frequently is neither. again, i have never met you, and if i do meet you i will never know it, and i have spent more brain space imagining a tiny, bitter vengeance against this single-sentence quote, relayed to me at a remove, than i have spent trying to learn calculus or teaching myself to garden or volunteering at a soup kitchen. if there ever was a winner or a loser in this bizarre equation it is fully possible that i have lost, simply by trying so hard to win."
"...ok."

Relics and Remains
The find of a lifetime!
"Professor Finch? You in there?"
With a snort, Finch jolted from his desk, a sheet of paper stuck to his cheek. He pulled it off with a yawn, setting it down and looking at the clock. Seven in the morning. He'd stayed at his desk all night again, only catching half an hour's sleep. Stretching his back, he grumbled as he walked to the balcony that he'd had installed for precisely this purpose.
He recognised the giant kneeling before him, her face above him dirty and slightly sweaty. "Good morning, Skadi." Finch smiled tiredly at her. She'd shaved her head since he last saw her, but he recognised her tattoos and frankly incredible muscle structure. If he were the kind to be attracted to women, he was certain that she'd catch his eye.
"You are not gonna believe this." Skadi said with a squeak that made Finch feel a mix of anticipation and suspicion.
"Right, so, yeah, after you gave those dwarves a recommendation to hire me as a miner, we've been really seeing progress, I've been expanding their tunnels bigger than they ever dreamed. I'm so great at it too, not to blow my own whistle, but the other day--"
Finch held up a finger. "I've just woken up, I need some coffee, but do continue." He left the doors open as he walked downstairs, hearing Skadi's voice just as easily as before as it thrummed through the walls.
"We were excavating deeper, under Scarfang Pass, and Tarlan told me he'd found a cavern down the way. Naturally, I wanted to take a look, and I spent all day digging a path, found some good ore for the lads, but you will never guess what was in the cavern."
The sunlight in his kitchen was cut off, and he turned to see a large eye at his window, focusing in on him. "Tell me what was in the cavern."
"You might wanna sit down."
"Skadi, please, I am very tired."
She laughed, rumbling his crockery, and he held his coffee tightly. "I've only gone and found a burial chamber for a colossal giant."
Smash.
Finch froze, not caring about the hot coffee wetting his slippers. "You…Are you serious?! If you tell me you're joking--"
"I'm not! I actually think it might be King Bjorn, y'know the legendary one."
"You mean Bjorn Fire-Feared?!" The fabled King had been damaged by the tragic death of his family, and ruled an entire province where fire was banned upon pain of death. It was such an ancient story that it seemed like it should be unbelievable. But never had Finch heard of a complete skeleton that old, as cremation was usually the done thing. "Oh, goodness, oh my, oh, Skadi!" He began to jump around in the puddle of coffee, clapping his hands and flailing them wildly. "Let's go!" He flung open his door and ran outside, only to stop in his tracks when two grubby fingers pinched his dressing gown.
"Hold on there, Prof." She curled her middle finger around his waist and lifted him up to his balcony. "You ain't goin' in the mines in your silkies. Get your boots on and pack a lunch. He's not about to get up and walk off."
As much as Finch wanted to rush, he knew she was right. He'd get his adventuring gear too, as it was better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
oOo
They were close. On their walk, Skadi had been gushing about how much she loved working. He remembered when the dwarves had come to him asking for help getting rid of her from her cave that she had excavated herself. Their 180 in their opinion of her had been down to him, and it seemed that although their warming to her was slow-going, they did in fact enjoy her presence around the mines.
"Finbar is the worst for it though. Every day at lunch he always pretends he's lost his, and yes I don't mind giving humans crumbs, but have you seen how much a dwarf can eat? They're like bottomless pits, I end up with a half empty lunchbox by the time I've finished letting the lads eat what they want. They always joke about me snacking on them, and I've half a mind to if they think about touching my honey cake."
"Remind me not to get between you and your sweet tooth then." Finch replied from her shoulder, glad that she'd found somewhere she fit in.
Speaking of fitting in, the entrance to the mine she led him to was nowhere near big enough for her to stand. Finch was confused until he noticed the grooves in the rock on the edges of the tunnel. It seemed that to get to the main excavation, she crawled along the trenches, any miners and carts passing safely beneath her. As for transport, she slipped him into a pocket on her shoulder, seemingly oriented for just this occasion.
Finch didn't like being underground. A cave, that was fine. A canyon, he could deal with. But a tunnel that sunk into the darkness, unlit and endless, he had to duck into the pocket in order to keep himself calm.
The relief when she finally stood once more made him feel dizzy, but she nudged him onto her shoulder. "Here we go." Her voice echoed for what seemed like years as she used a nearby sconce to light her torch. As it flared into flames, Finch gasped so hard he almost choked.
The steeple of the tallest temple would be dwarfed by the breadth of the skull staring at the pair of them. Despite the intensity of the torchlight, it was difficult to make out even the beginning of the rib bones that xylophoned down toward the rest of the skeleton. It was almost unfathomable in its scale, Finch's jaw slack, his eyes boggling, bereft of speech. He could tell that Skadi was smirking at him, waiting for him to voice his amazement, but he couldn't even move, his body rigid and stunned. Never had he seen a complete skeleton. A tooth, perhaps. A finger bone, maybe. One faceplate buried into a mountainside. But nothing compared to this.
"Should we leave then?"
"Certainly not!" Finch shrieked, his shrill echo sounding like the cave was full of birds. "Oh, to be immortal, to study every inch of this cavern! It would take me centuries!"
"Let's just start with this, eh?" Skadi turned and lifted her torch. The wall above the ancient King's skull sent flickering shadows between the grooves of runes and pictograms, and immediately Finch gave her earring an excited tug forward, making her chuckle as she stepped toward it. "Heh. Don't recognise that dialect."
"It's from the birth of giantish runes! Look, it's even before the letter atte was standardised! Torch left." She did as he asked, illuminating one of the pictures with accompanying runes. "This was meant to be his epitaph. 'Tal vusar kan ur naum'. The Tomb of the Lord of Ruin." He exhaled shakily, his skin rising in gooseflesh. "The carving shows Bjorn Fire-Feared banning the use of fire. Those people there are freezing, those are starving, there's no tools or weapons being made. Torch right."
The next carving made him shudder. "He would send armies of humans and giants to punish anyone continuing to light fires. This says a village was struck by lightning, and he personally flattened it with two steps."
Skadi whistled. "What a shitty guy."
"I don't understand why they went to so much trouble to bury him if he was this abhorrent! Why not simply burn him and celebrate being free?" Finch twirled his moustache in thought. "Skadi, would you mind if I asked you for a favour?"
"As long as you sketch me beside the skull and put it in the book."
"With pleasure!" He smiled. "I need a little more light. Could you set up some braziers, perhaps? Just along the wall, and around his skull?" He pushed his spectacles up his long nose. "I should get these enchanted with dark vision…"
"Sure, Prof. Just a minute." Skadi looked around and reached for a stalagmite, breaking off the point with a tug of her mighty arm. She set Finch on the flat surface so she didn't accidentally tread on him, then her light retreated with her rumbling steps. He could hear her thundering voice calling for various dwarves to help her.
He dangled his legs over the edge of his rocky platform, closing his eyes and taking a breath to steady his heart. "How did you die? Some legends say you went mad and set light to yourself, but that clearly isn't true. Others say you gorged yourself on so many towns that the buildings burst your stomach. I've heard you were murdered by your closest friend. I can't imagine you were close to anyone. Perhaps if you were, you might not have been so cruel."
Skadi's booming presence passed him in the dark, and he envied her low-light vision for a moment, hearing clanks and clangs from all around him. Flint and steel. The roof of the cavern was suddenly lit with the impression of a skull as Skadi lit the first fire inside the King's head since he had died. One by one, slowly but surely, she cast light on the area for him, dusting off her hands once she was finished. Their area of the cave wasn't bright, but after so long in the dark, Finch could see relatively clearly. "There we go. Want me to walk you down?"
"Please." He hopped onto her hand so she could transfer him back to her shoulder, and she began at the start of the wall. As he got out his journal, she kept quiet, knowing he probably wouldn't answer her even if she did speak. He used her ear lobe to steer her almost as an extension of his own body, able to write at his own pace as the history unfurled before him.
Bjorn Fire-Feared used to be called Bjorn Stone-Hand, one of the few remaining colossal giants after the appearance of the other races, when a world of rock and bone became verdant and green. He proclaimed himself King to stop giants and humans from being at war, and it worked for a time, his country prospering so much that it could support two of his kind. His firstborn was praised as a Prince, and the land was happy. Until dissenters used pitch to set his house alight, killing his family. And then the dark times. His spiral into madness, dragging a whole nation into the cold. Almost the entire kingdom dug the grave to his command, many perishing as a result.
"He planned it." Finch said, startling Skadi. He easily kept balanced as she jumped, second nature to him, and she exhaled sharply, her heart audibly fast. "Of course he did, he died here! Nobody could've moved his body, he came here willingly!"
"So how did he die?"
"It doesn't say." Finch tapped his chin with his pencil. "Let's go look at his bones, see if I can find anything."
She nodded and turned away from the wall, approaching the skeleton. Almost vibrating with excitement, Finch stared upward with amazement at the mountainous reach of the King's jawbone, Skadi trailing her hand against it as she ducked through the letterbox shaped slot where his front teeth used to lay, into what was his mouth. "Must've been odd for giants my size back then. Not the biggest fish in the pond."
"Is easily fitting in someone's mouth changing your perspective?" Finch asked, motioning to be set down.
"Yeah, I guess it is." Skadi put Finch on the ground and passed him a torch that was comparatively a splinter. He lit it from the brazier, then began slowly walking from one end of the skull to the other. "He really had bad dental hygiene. Look at the holes there."
Finch paused by one of his bottom molars, humming with thought as he scaled his jawbone so as to better see. "There's a cavity."
"I rest my case." Skadi said with a grin, jamming her torch between two of the teeth and hopping backwards onto them as one might a countertop, sitting comfortably.
Gasping softly, Finch realised the hole was large enough for him to fit into, the edges rounded and smooth, the inside of the tooth hollow. A collection of objects, most rotted away, sat inside the tooth, along with what seemed like a human skeleton. "Wait a second." He flicked through his notes. "That phrase, it was literally 'fang hermit', it wasn't a metaphor. I think this must've been some kind of political prisoner." He scribbled something down. "Let's see… She must have lived here for some time, considering how worn her doorway is. And I think she may have been shackled to the enamel."
Skadi grimaced. "He really must have been bonkers. Imagine living in some geezer's tooth, eugh."
Finch cleared his throat, straightening his glasses. "Does this practice ring any bells to you?"
"Not a tinkle. I guess whatever it was, it was a big guy thing." Skadi hummed. "How did she feed herself?"
Finch stroked his chin. "One would suspect the same way a symbiosis would function..." Something felt odd about this. Not a single tooth he'd found in his life was the same as Bjorn's. He carefully lifted the scrap of fabric upon which the bones lay, moving it away from the pile without jostling the skeleton. He rummaged through the various bits and pieces, most of them being the usual detritus one might expect to see caught between a large giant's teeth; wood and bone and brick. However, buried in the smallest corner he found a metal lockbox, beautifully designed, screwed into the wall of the tooth. Trying not to damage either, he carefully used a nearby piece of metal to pry the box open, the rusted lock breaking with a shriek.
A leather-bound journal looked up at him as if proud to have weathered the wear of time. He was very careful with it regardless, and he stepped out onto the bone that surrounded the tooth house, sitting and tentatively opening the pages.
Skadi watched as he read, hearing his soft gasps and excited titters as he whispered the words to himself. "Well? Good read?"
"I translated the wall wrong. The two giants the land could support weren't he and his wife, it was him and his son. This is his wife."
Wrinkling her nose, Skadi slid from her sitting position and walked over, taking a knee beside Finch. "He imprisoned his wife in his mouth? That's messed up."
"O-Oh…" Finch exhaled when he turned the page. "She was just as disturbed by the fire as he was. She didn't want to lose him too, and after a failed poisoning, she wanted to be vigilant and make sure all of his food was clean." He tapped the page. "The chain was a safety measure. She must have really loved him to give up her life to keep him safe."
"If she did such a good job, what killed them both?"
Finch flipped through the pages. "She died first. There's no record of anything past the destruction of the town that was struck by lightning."
"Yeah, so that means… What does that mean?"
Suddenly alert, Finch leapt to his feet, slowly walking along the bony platform that held the teeth in place. "Let's see… If I could just… Aha!" He reached between two teeth and pulled out the long-rotted husk of a large seed, the size of a grape. "Titanfeller berries."
Skadi almost knocked Finch off his perch when she scrambled backward, and he could hear her nervous pulse through the rock. "Don't you bring that near me!" Finch still hadn't discovered what it was about titanfellers that was toxic to giants but not humans. Still, he was thankful that the seeds weren't viable. The near-extinction of a plant should've been sad to him, but he was happy that they wouldn't be used for nefarious purposes.
"Just don't lick anything, you'll be fine." He twirled his moustache around his index finger. "So… What do we know?" He carefully climbed down to the rocky floor, strolling beneath the jaw and down beside the alien architecture of his spine. Away from the braziers, he couldn't see the ribs that arched above him, but he knew they were there, the whole skeleton mapped in his head. "Did he move here to die after being poisoned?" He mumbled.
"Aren't Kings usually buried with riches?" A male voice said from somewhere in the darkness, startling Finch. "I haven't seen any gold."
Finch lifted his torch, seeing the glittering eyes of a dwarf, sitting on a rock below the root of a rib. "Ah, rather astute, Mr…?"
"Call me Gudrun."
Skadi seemed to have composed herself, and walked over to the pair. "I've told you about Gudrun, haven't I? He's got a kid with a giantess near here."
Curiosity piqued, Finch looked at the dwarf with a smile. "Oh! Wonderful to make your acquaintance! May I ask you about that at a later date?"
"Yeah. Skadi knows where I am." Gudrun stroked his beard, looking around at the skeleton. "So, what have you found out about this guy?"
Finch explained the story behind the carvings, and what he'd found in Bjorn's skull. "I just don't understand the circumstances surrounding his death. His wife died… Then he died…"
Gudrun's bushy brows furrowed. "Well, if my wife died, Gods forbid, I know I'd struggle with living on."
Skadi hummed. "I wonder why he left her there."
Finch perked up, clapping excitedly. "That's it!" He grinned at the pair. "Think about it, if you'd just seen the King crush an entire village, would you risk being within biting distance?" He looked toward the illuminated eye sockets. "So he ate the berries voluntarily."
There was a moment of quiet before Gudrun cleared his throat. "Will you be wantin' his effects? He's got a ring on his left hand, seems valuable."
Finch perked up again. "Oh! Wonderful!" He almost ran, his torchlight fading into the gloom.
Skadi blew through tight lips, a hand on her waist, and Gudrun nodded with understanding. "...Your people are real strange." He said, and she shrugged with casual agreement. "My big girl, she has all kinds of customs that just twist my brain."
The pair heard an excited jumble of theories and conclusions echoing from somewhere in the dark. "None are as strange as humans."
"You're right there, lass."
When Skadi finally went to go see what Finch was so excited about, she was unimpressed. She expected piles upon piles of jewels. "What's that ring made of?"
Finch grinned up at her as he traced the patterns with his fingertip. "I don't know! That doesn't matter right now! Look at this! Oh, this is wonderful." He pushed a long button with all of his strength, and the ring popped open. It was far too heavy for him to open all the way, but Skadi leant a hand, and he stood on the finger bone to peer inside it. "There's a whole room in here!" He cried, leaping over the metal wall. The floor was carpeted, the walls lined with built-in furniture, long-since faded and freyed. Each had a number of hoops, presumably for attaching safety ropes to.
"You think he kept people in here?" Skadi asked, Gudrun appearing over the edge of the ring, looking like he was levitating without Skadi's hand in view.
As Finch immediately began to study the journals and sketches around him, Skadi set up another brazier for him, not wanting him to get eyestrain.
Gudrun touched the metal, then knocked on it. "Pure macronium. Y'know, this stuff is only found in meteorites, but as an ore it's unstable enough to dissipate on impact." When he noticed the pair looking at him, he cleared his throat somewhat bashfully. "The wife has a necklace with a small amount of it. It's a sacred thing."
"Yeah, my Pa said only people touched by the gods could smith with macronium. You've got to crack open the meteor with your bare hands, then slowly and patiently melt it down." She pressed her hand against the cold metal too. "Bet if humans listened to our legends instead of stabby-stabby they'd really find that interesting."
Finch opened a cupboard that was built into the wall, lifting his torch to get a better look. "OH! Books!"
Gudrun looked back to Finch who was reading with one hand and writing with the other. "Anything good?"
"I can't understand a word of this! Oh, how exciting! This must be where his Queen used to live, before the fire." He flipped through a few more with fingers practised in the art of being tender with artifacts. "This will keep me up all night! A few more hours without sleep won't do me any harm."
Skadi poked her tongue into her cheek as she thought. "You haven't been sleepin' at all, have you, Prof?"
"A few stray moments here and there. But that's not important!" He waved his hand at her, carefully filling his satchel with as much information as he could. "What is important is that I have so many answers! And even more new questions!" He beckoned her hand, hopping into it eagerly. "Let's keep going!"
Skadi shook her head. "Oh, no no. I'm not taking you anywhere." When he looked like he might try and leave her grasp, she curled her fingers firmly around him, making him yelp and check to make sure the papers were undamaged. "You're gonna have a nap."
"I'm not tired, I promise." He pushed at her fingers, but they wouldn't budge. "Please, I've got to see more! I had half an hour last night, that was sufficient." He knew that beyond reasoning, there wasn't much he could do. A giant had the ability to make anyone do anything they wanted.
"Hey, we discovered this tomb, so our rules apply. It's our lunch hour anyway." She scolded as she sat down on the rocky floor, leaning against the breadth of the ring band. "You want in, Gudrun?"
The dwarf nodded with a grin. "I never turn down an opportunity to have a kip."
Skadi placed the pair of them on the warm fabric on her chest, a stark contrast from the cold of the cave, and Finch huffed. "It's easy for you. I've only got my life to spend studying your kind. Both of you know that isn't a lot."
"A nap won't kill you, Prof. Don't make me swaddle you." Skadi grumbled. Gudrun was already almost asleep, and Finch sighed dramatically as he flopped onto his back. He realised then how exhausted he was, his mind still racing, but his body thanking him profusely for resting.
"...Gudrun?"
"Yeah?"
"Tell me about your wife?"
The dwarf stretched out, opening one eye to look at Finch. "Absolutely savage, she is. Tall, sharp teeth, penchant for raw meat, the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. She can rip open a dragon with her bare hands and feast on its still warm carcass."
"It seems as though she's perfect for you." Finch pondered softly. "What's her name, this ferocious beast of a woman?"
"Carol."
Skadi shushed them, knowing Finch wouldn't stop the questions there, but he got the message, closing his eyes. Just a little nap. Then he'd get to work. Five minutes...

What You Deserve (Part 1)
Tumblr media
Summary:After the betrayal with Teresa Aris spills darker secrets than you could have ever imagined.
Honestly, I have no clue how one person could be so oblivious, so blind, to why someone might be avoiding them. While it's true that I haven't directly told Aris the reason I'm so pissed off I shouldn't need to say it.
"Y/N,"He called, following me out of the kitchen.
"What do you want?"I sighed, not bothering to stop in my tracks.
"Can you please tell me what's wrong?"He asked again. I scoffed before accidentally letting out a bitter laugh.
"What's wrong? Seriously? You are so daft sometimes,"I snapped.
"I don't know what's going on. Can you please just tell me?"He repeated.
"Go ask Teresa,"I absentmindedly commented. He went unusually silent as I stopped to glare at him.
"I told you why that happened,"He whispered.
"No. You told everyone why it happened,"I pointed out. Like the idiot he is he was still confused.
"You explained one time then expected everyone to move on. Guess what Aris? Everyone else can move on because they aren't dating you. They aren't someone who's with you for some insane reason while also living with that girl you had to kiss might I add."
"Exactly. Had to. I wouldn't have done it if I had a choice."
"Did you say you love her?"I asked.
"Y/N-"
"Answer the question,"I demanded.
"Does it matter?"
I stared at him in disbelief at what I was hearing.
"Of course it matters. You haven't tried to talk to me one time about what happened. You gave the most vague explanation with her standing next to you, and I'm just supposed to accept it and say everything's okay between us? That nothing will change? I'm supposed to forget this? I can't because you won't even try to tell me anything. Not once did you come to me and try to tell me what went on. How do you think that feels?"
"I don't know,"He mumbled.
"Then, I'll help you. I'll put a nice visual in your head. There I am right next to, let's say Newt. He's attractive so he definitely works for this,"I stated, stopping so my words would sink in. I was aware of the worry he had felt in a pit of worry in his stomach when Newt and I seemed to quickly bond. I assured Aris he was the only boy I could ever want, and while that is still true, I wanted him to hurt at least half as much as I did.
"I'm standing there right next to Newt after we both disappeared for two days. Standing beside us is somebody very beaten up, and all I say is I have to is 'I had to'. That girl, you know what, let's just say Harriet,"I added, knowing how close they are. I wanted this to be as descriptive as possible so he feels what I had to.
No. That's the wrong thing statement. I need him to feel what I still am feeling every second I'm around one of them, or even worse, both of them.
"She's your friend too, right? Like how Teresa was mine. Beside us is an injured Harriet. You later find out, not even from me, that I kissed Newt. How do you feel Aris? Can you see it? Because I can very well give you so much more detail. I can give you every image you need,"I snapped.
He looked at me completely silent. All I could do was cross my arms and keep my cold stare.
"Some things were said, but all of them were lies. Everything was a lie. I don't want anyone else Y/N. I want you,"He repeated. By now his words were empty.
"I can't believe you when you wouldn't even try to explain anything,"I shrugged, acting like it still didn't shatter my heart to think about.
"Nothing I say is going to fix this, is it?"He asked, almost silent.
"I don't think so,"I admitted.
"So are you breaking up with me?"He asked, his voice a trembling whisper.
"I don't know,"I repeated. This time my words weren't meant to feel like a knife through the chest. They were true. "I don't think we should be together right now,"I finally spoke up.
"But is that really what you want?"He asked, his voice cracking. I just stared at the ground. "Please tell me it's not,"He begged.
"Of course not, but I can't deal with this right now. There's already so much going on. This will only make everything worse,"I whispered, my words only getting more and more true as the reality of them set in. Still, they had to be said.
"If I tell you the full truth would you stay?"He asked, seeming to struggle with the decision.
"I'm not sure. I'm not sure of anything right now."
"But there's a chance?"He asked.
"I don't know,"I shrugged, not knowing how anything he had to say could solve this.
"But it might be there?"
"If you want to say something just say it,"I pleaded, wanting this to be done. Not us but this conversation. My mind is a thousand places at once. This is only sending me spiraling even more.
"Then, I'll take it. Y/N, I built the mazes,"He admitted.
"You already told me that. I was the first person in the Spring who knew about what your role in WICKED was,"I pointed out.
"Not really. No,"He murmered.
His words took me by surprise. So much so that I had to look up at him. They were briming with tears.
"I didn't just build the mazes Y/N. I remember them."
"What do you mean you remember them?"I asked, taking a step towards him. He just stared at the ground before shaking his head.
"Aris, what do you mean you remember them?"
"When I came up in the box I had my memories. It was part of a plan."
For a moment my heart seemed to stop beating as all the blood rushed to my ears. I desperately wanted him to stop talking and take his words back. Instead, he kept going.
"I didn't know much about the Scorch Trials, but I didn't think anyone would die. I didn't know I had to do this. Please Y/N. I didn't know anything would go this far."
"So Teresa, and Thomas, do they know?"I asked.
"No. Just Teresa,"He confessed.
"And what did you do when we were in the mazes,"I repeated.
"The Beatles Blades,"He whispered.
"So you were a spy? While we were suffering, while my friends were dead, while I almost died that one time when I touched the fake sky, you saw all that?"
"Some of it,"He muttered, sounding like he was filled with well deserved guilt. I wonder is it's real or it's an act. Maybe because he wants me to believe him. He's good at fooling me.
"You've been lying to me. People are dead, and you sat there and watched. We were all in the freezing snow, sometimes secretly crying ourselves to sleep, which you probably saw as well, right? Did you watch while I sat against the walls and pathetically, silently sobbed?"
He stayed quiet as tears he didn't deserve to cry steamed down his face. He deserved to feel like breaking down, but he didn't deserve to do it. He didn't deserve anything.
"Did it feel nice? To stay in a place that didn't involve risking your life by running mindlessly like a lab rat? Did you like seeing the way I desperately skated the maze? How about the times the Griever's would drag away the bodies or when we'd have to kill and even banish our friends? Did you enjoy it?"I taunted, my voice low and full of venom.
When he didn't say anything I stepped forward until I was right in front of him. He trembled as he looked up at me.
"Was it nice Aris?"I repeated, dangerously calm.
"No. No. I swear. Just please, I didn't think anything would be like this. Please Y/N. Listen to me,"He begged, trying to make me look at him. I slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me,"I scowled.
"Please. I'm different now. If I could take it back I would,"He swore, now hysterical. I couldn't even look at him as I turned around and tried to leave only for him to hold my wrist and keep pleading for me to just look at him.
"If I look at you I'm going to hurt you, and I mean it. I will do what you did to Thomas and more. I will leave you looking like someone who crawled out of the Greiver hole,"I promised. Because his words may be empty but mine never will be. I will always follow through on what I say, and I will mean it.
"I don't care. Just look at me,"He begged, more sobs seeming to echo through the Berg. I pulled my arm away, and he didn't stop me.
"Please. I can't live without you,"He uttered as I walked down the hall.
I didn't stop to think about the next words that left my mouth as I turned to face him. He had dropped to the floor and had the nerve to look me in the eye as he seemed to feel some remorse for what he had done. He didn't feel remorse when he lied to all of us though. In fact, he still was. He has trapped us for years.
Maybe if he had admitted everything to me from the start I could have found some middle ground. He didn't though. He had sat there and acted like a terrified Blondie as Beth kept saying we should banish him. She had said from the start he was bad news. Several other girls had.
And what did I do? I protected him. I had even saved his life in the maze, and he had essentially been spitting in my face. He had used me. Maybe me falling in love with him was another sick part of his plan. It wouldn't surprise me anymore. Nothing would.
That's why I said what I said next.
"Then, die."
He clapped a hand over his mouth as he started to cry harder.
"You look more pathetic than I did believing you. You sit there and bawl your eyes out. It will never make me come back to you. Each tear you shed only makes me despise you more because I did that so many nights. I cried and cried while I thought about if I had a family, friends, or even I was in some twisted prison, and you know what you did?"
He just buried his face in his hands while his hysterics continued.
"You let it happen. If you truly think you need me to live then you better find a way to stop because I can't stand you. You better learn how to stop needing me because I will never love you. Aris, I hate you,"I scowled, wanting to kick him until he was covered in bruises. He had manipulated everyone, and just because he told me the truth he had some twisted expectation that I could not only forgive the betrayal, but the way he had ruined my life. Just the thought of him, the sight of him, disgusted me.
He screamed into his hand, and I heard the agony in his voice that I had caused. The part of me that had empathy, and had loved him with all my heart, almost felt remorse for all I had said. Then again that love for him was fading. With each tear another part of me hated him more.
I didn't even feel satisfied that I had successfully broke him into nothing. I didn't feel anything at all anymore. Even that hatred was replaced with this numb feeling as I looked at him. Hearing him try to muffle his cries, pleads for me not to leave him, and his yells of regret, just left me feeling sorry for him.
Everyone must have heard his screams because the others can rushing in. Well, only Sonya and Harriet.
"What happened?"Harriet asked, her confusion quickly becoming replaced with concern as she stared at the way Aris had crumpled to the floor.
I looked back at him one last time and said my final message.
"He's just throwing himself a pity party."
With that I left my worried friends in the room and my broken ex-boyfriend laying on the ground.

You've never assumed that he is the type to be submissive every time you touch him. If you were the sun right now you might have burned him. A single brush of your finger is enough to set hit heart ablaze like how he also kisses you back, him giving you butterflies on the pit of your stomach. He may be a blood-sucking creature, but he has always been gentle and sweet than those humans around you. You were aware of his immortality, him trusting you enough to not tell anybody about his secret. So you got used to him being possessive and clingy at times. Him often craving for blood, yours to be exact. Well, you didn't expect to see that kinky side of him.
It started off in the warm and cozy cuddling turned into a hot make-out session. His kisses were demanding, yet soft and gentle. Him keeping in mind to not loose his patience and control to hurt you, you're one of the only people whom he seems to cherish including his family and friends. Your lips are so soft and pinkish that he can't help but to slide his tongue inside of your mouth with his slender and pale hands slipping inside of your underwear, making you moan as he fingers your insides. Your chest is so comfortable that he can't help but to squeeze your breasts making you whimper despite his touch being cautious. Your scent isn't helping either, it's only triggering his intrusive and dirty thoughts that he's been trying to compress and get off his mind and chest. He can't wait any longer.
"Y/N, please. Need you so much". He sounds so sweet, endearing to be exact. You can already feel him getting harder through his shorts, forming an obvious bulge on the thin fabric. "Do you wanna..." you shyly asked as he swallowed hard, already making a move despite getting nervous. "Oh, want me to get a taste of your blood, if it's fine for you?" you chuckled as you cupped his face and pecking his crimson-red lips, giving him the approval. "Of course. You're my partner after all." you replied as you tilted your head, closed your eyes with your lashes fluttering as he prepares his sharp fangs to bury on your sweet zones.

"Is it really okay? I don't wanna hurt you y'know." He asked for your permission like a hundred times already. "Well, do you want to take a break first?" you asked as you were concerned about him. You don't want him to feel pressured and obliged to be in this situation and crossing the line that both of you need to feel and be prepared for. "No need, I'm just worried. I heard that some women bleed on their first. It may trigger my instincts to bite you off and I don't want anything dangerous to happen to you." he responded with a hidden tone of concern on his seductive voice as his now deep-red orbs locked on yours. It reminded you of the eye-catching moon when the eclipse occurs. His pupils dilating like a puppy clinging into its owner. It's the perfect balance of a unintentional submissiveness mixed with a hidden dominance behind it. It makes you down hard for him.
"Don't worry, the reason why I let you touch me in the first place is because I trust you as my partner. Also as a person, well vampire I mean." you responded honestly as he chuckled at your absurdity, it makes you so attractive on his eyes. "Okay, I have your consent now. So spread those pretty legs for me."
You obeyed him, spreading your legs apart as you whimper when the cold air hits your now drooling core. Licking his lips, he pumps the base of his length, pre-cum building on his pretty pink tip as he slowly entered you. You almost cried when his thickness spreads you apart, forcing you to endure the mixture of the pain and pleasure down to your core. You can hear him growl into your ear as he falls down to the mattress with his arms holding him up for extra balance, him trying to not move already as you were getting used to him. "Fuck... Y/N, you're bleeding." "Wait wha-" "Shh... don't worry now. You asked for this. Let's see how long can you last." his wild instincts slowly taking over him, his hands pushing you down into the soft cushion.

"Ohh... Fuck! Babe slow down!" you whimpered as he continued to push his long and thick cock inside of your now abused hole. His chin drooling with his own saliva and your blood from sucking your neck a bit too aggressive earlier. He is your passionate lover, your seductive vampire, and your master when it comes to the bedroom. His sex drive isn't necessarily that high as he was pretty much busy and absent most of the times leaving you alone in your shared apartment. But when he knows what he wants, he's going to get it as long as you gave him your approval to fuck your brains out.
"Yeah? You were acting like a brat when I slowed down. Now you want me to stop? Don't be so pathetic right now." Screw his strength right now. But the way he rams inside your tightness is enough to make you feel that you're in between clouds. And the way he makes you feel good is enough to make you pleasured-drunk from all of this. You were so lost in your own thoughts as he places your legs on his shoulders as he makes you mewl again, thrusting deep inside you to hit that spot that makes you see the stars.
"Blood." "H-Huh?" "I need your blood, now." he demanded as you tilted your head, showing your neck filled with his bites and some hickies. You whimpering in pain as his sharp fangs pierced on your skin as his thrusts became sloppier as you feel your finish getting closer. "Babe, I'm cumming!" "Let.. go of it". you moaned as you gushed around him, him grunting and his jaw clenching while his deep crimson red eyes are closed. His erratic movements doesn't stop as you felt him twitch as his cum paint your walls. The bastard didn't even gave permission to release inside of you. Good thing you're on pill.

(Nya takes the covers off of a skeleton.)
Nya: Some villagers unearthed the remains of this Fangpyre a few miles away. It predates the Golden Age, and must be hundreds of years old. Although the venom in the fangs of the Fangpyre genetically mutate human cells into reptilian, I've learned there could be a way to stop the effects without having to create an antivenom. (Zane is shown taking notes while Kai is bored. Cole is drawing a picture of him fighting while Jay, sporting a new hairstyle, stares at Nya with an infatuated expression on his face.) If one is able to wildly raise their heart rate, hypothetically it could reverse the venom's effects. (Her cheeks turn pink.) Resulting in...diminished, uh, excuse me, is someone wearing perfume? I'm severely allergic to perfume.
Jay: Heh. (Whispers to Kai) You told me it was men's cologne.
Kai: Meh, I get them mixed up. (Everyone but Jay and Nya laughs. Zane turns his humor switch off.)
Cole: Ah, looks like class is over. Time to start stomping some Serpentine before they find any Fangblades.
Kai: Sounds like a plan.
Zane: I'm excited to join. (Jay waits for them to leave.)
Jay: Uh, hey uh, Nya, I'm sorry. The reason I was—you know—I went to Kai because—look. What I'm trying to say is—
Nya: I know. It's just a cruel joke. I should be fine. Please, go fight snakes.
Jay: No, no, no, no. I was trying to impress you. Before Sensei left, he said our heart was the key to unlocking our True Potential.
Nya: Impress me? But I look so...
Jay: Fantastic. (Nya begins playing with her hair.) Look, maybe, if you'll let me, I can take you to some big fancy restaurant. You don't have to, if you don't want to...
Nya: You mean like a date?
Jay: Um, yeah?
Nya: Sure! I'd love to. But I have to go now before the perfume toxins enter my bloodstream and I go into shock. See you tonight. (She leaves.)
Jay: Yes! (Laughs, and accidentally pricks himself on the skeleton.) Ow! Aah! Man. (He leaves unaware of a trickle of venom dripping from the skeleton.)
(On the Mountain of Madness, Wu confronts Garmadon.)
Garmadon: Hello, brother. What took you so long? You brought the katana from our youth. Funny, you never had the courage to cross the temple wall, yet now you have the courage to come here.
Wu: Why have you come to this place of darkness?
Garmadon: A place as wicked as me? Don't you see? Here I feel at home. In Ninjago, I was physically unable to hold all four Spinjitzu Weapons. But here, dark magic has made me stronger and what was once impossible is now possible. (He reveals he now has four arms.)
Wu: You came here only to possess the Weapons of Spinjitzu?
Garmadon: Yes, brother, and I refuse to allow you or your petty ninja to stop me! (He summons four weapons to wield and starts attacking his brother.)
Wu: (He falls down in a pit of mud and tries to fend against the mud monsters.) Brother, I've not come here to—
Garmadon: You will pay for your visit. Mud monsters, converge! You don't belong here, old fool. You should've known better than to try to stop me.
Wu: (Struggling) I didn't come to stop you. I came to warn you. To tell you—your son's in danger! Aah!
Garmadon: Lloyd? (He pulls Wu out of the mud monsters.) What has Lloyd gotten himself into?
Wu: He has opened a can of worms I fear I will never be able to close.
Garmadon: You mean we will never be able to close. Get up. You can tell me more later. First, we need to return home. How did you find me?
Wu: Traveler's Tea. But I used it all and now have no way back.
Garmadon: There is only one way to return to Ninjago. But to get there, we must pass through the Mountain of Madness and it is a long and dangerous road ahead.
Wu: I wouldn't have it any other way.
Garmadon: We should leave. Before it really gets dark.
(The Serpentine dig their way aboveground just outside of Mega Monster Amusement Park.)
Skales: This is it, Pythor. The map leads us here. The first Fangblade. (He points to the park.) Maybe it's better to wait until dark, so we don't attract any unwanted attention from the ninja or Samurai.
Pythor: Oh, I have a feeling we'll fit right in.
(A kid runs away and screams.)
Employee: Hey, don't go.
Man: Excuse me. Would you mind if my family takes a picture with you?
Woman: Your costume is so authentic.
Pythor: Of course. Welcome to—to, uh (He looks at a sign.) Mega Monster Amusement Park!
Skales: Say cheese.
All: Cheese!
(At the Destiny's Bounty, Jay is getting ready for the date.)
Jay: Did I ever tell you I was the first one to learn Spinjitzu? No, I mean, uh, I invented Spinjitzu. Yeah, that's it. And i invented a few other moves, like the karate double chop. Hyah! (He looks at his hand, which has formed green scales.) No! No, no, no. The prick from the Fangpyre fang! Oh, no. This isn't happening. No, it's nothing. It's just a rash. It'll probably just go away. You're gonna do great, Jay. This is your chance to shine. Hehe. (He goes to the bridge wearing gloves.)
Cole: Whoa, where are you going, Mr. Fancy?
Jay: Didn't you hear? I'm taking Nya to a nice restaurant. A really nice restaurant.
Kai: You might wanna change your plans. The bridge just picked up evidence of Serpentine activity over at Mega Monster Amusement Park. (The monitor shows a photo of Serpentine in the park.l
Jay: Hey, that's Pythor.
Zane: Pythor would not be there for fun. We believe a Fangblade may be buried underneath the park.
Jay: We can't let them get it! Oh, but my date...
Kai: Jay, if they get all four of them, Pythor can unleash the Great Devourer. Get your priorities straight, man.
(Jay gets an idea and goes knock on Nya's door just after she comes in as Samurai X.)
Nya: Huh?
Jay: (opening the door) Uh, Nya, you there? (Nya slams the door.) Argh!
Nya: Don't come in! I'm getting ready.
Jay: Well, um—I just wanna talk to you about our date. You know, I'm hearing really bad reviews for the restaurant and I just...
Nya: (Her bracelet projects a map.) Serpentine spotted at Mega Monster Amusement Park?
Jay: You know, I think we should cancel.
Nya: (She opens the door.) Oh, you're canceling?
Jay: No, no. I just wanted to know if you would rather go to the Mega Monster Amusement Park instead.
Nya: Really? That would be perfect! But aren't you overdressed? (Nya gasps when she sees her Samurai helmet in view.)
Jay: Well, yeah. Of course, I need to change— (Nya kicks the helmet.) What was that?
Nya: Nothing! You know what? I'll dress up too. Looks fun.
Jay: Hey, I was thinking, you know, we'd take my Storm Glider there.
Nya: Sounds like fun. (She comes from behind a changing screen in a sequined dress which stuns Jay before he smiles.) I'm in your hands. (They take off.)
(Wu and Garmadon follows a path that leads to the Mountain of Madness.)
Garmadon: So, what kind of trouble has Lloyd gotten himself into?
Wu: Well, I'm afraid to say, the worst kind. He's reopened the Serpentine tombs, and now that they have united, Pythor is trying to find the Four Silver Fangblades to unleash the Great Devourer.
Garmadon: The very snake that turned me evil?
Wu: Yes.
Garmadon: Why would Lloyd open the tombs?
Wu: To be like you.
Garmadon: I never wanted him to. Thank you for watching out for him.
Wu: You may think of me as your enemy, but I was first your brother.
(Jay and Nya arrived at a restaurant in Mega Monster.)
Jay: Yeah, even when I was young, it was clear I was born and bred for adventure. I was the first one to get my knot badge in Little Scouts. I was always trying daring foods. I once built these wings from scrap metal and other—uh, you okay? You seem kind of distant.
Nya: Uh, yeah. It's just the portions are so big. And to think we split our dish.
Jay: Heh. So that Samurai. Oh, man. I hate him, don't you? He's such a showboat, you know? If you ask me, he's nothing without his big, clunky exo-suit.
Nya: Oh.
Jay: Yeah. Nothing can compare to two good old fashioned feet and fists, don't you think?
Nya: Yeah, sure.
Jay: You know, sssomebody once told me... (He gasps and looks at his reflection in a spoon. He realizes he has fangs.)
Nya: You okay?
Jay: Excusse me. I have to use the resstroom. (He enters the restroom and discovers he's turning green before removing his glove and seeing his hand in the same condition.) Oh, gosh. I'm turning into a snake! (A man tries to enter the restroom.) I'm busy, dude! Can't you see it's taken? I can't go out there looking like this. This is the worst date ever!
(Meanwhile, a group of visitors is riding an attraction that is meant to be scary.)
Man: Ha! Lame! This ride is stupid. (He sees the Serpentine digging.) Heh, look how stupid this guy looks. (He and the others were sprayed with Venomari venom.) Get me off this thing! Mommy!
Kai: Where is everybody? (They see the riders scream and run out of the attraction.)
Cole: Wait a minute, that ride was never scary.
Zane: Venomari.
Kai: Should we get Jay?
Cole: Let's not bother the two lovebirds. I think we can handle this.
Kai: Excuse us, coming through.
Cole: Nothing to look at, folks.
Zane: This is official ninja business.
(Jay still hasn't come back from the restroom and Nya is worried.)
Nya: (Sighs) Sorry, Jay. Duty calls. (She leaves the booth.)
Jay: Huh, you don't look so bad. Just go out there and tell her the truth. (He feels something on his back and turns around.) Ah! I have a tail! No, no, it's okay, Jay. Lots of girls like tails. (He goes back to their table.) She left? Nya?
Man: Snake! (Everyone surrounds him.)
Jay No! Stop! You don't understand!
(Nya gets in her Mech. Meanwhile, the Serpentine uncovers the Fangblade.)
Pythor: Ah. (Laughs) The first fangblade is ours!
(The Sword of Fire is shown igniting as Kai, Cole and Zane arrive.)
Kai: Not so fast.
Cole: Really? That's the best you got?
Kai: I couldn't think of anything on the fly.
Cole: How about "Time to burn" or "Jump on this fire ride?"
Kai: Well, next time, you lead.
Cole: Next time I will.
Kai: Oh, yeah? If you can catch up.
Cole: Oh, come on. You gotta follow my lead. (They attack the Serpentine.)
Man: Ninjas? Ninjas aren't scary.
Zane: Watch and learn, brothers. (He uses his True Potential, but accidentally freezes his teammates.) Oops.
Pythor: (Everyone laughs and runs away, but Nya uses her Mech to steal the Fangblade.) Stop him!
Nya: (tries to fly off but can't) Thruster malfunction. (She runs away but the snakes eventually tackle her.)
Pythor: Finally, the mystery man is revealed. (Everyone gasps when her helmet is taken off.) Or should I have said mystery girl? Who's gonna save you now, hmm?
(The crowd is still hitting Jay.)
Jay: Ow! (He crawls out, heads to the restroom, and conceals himself with his scarf.) Do not go in there. He bites. This is not dinner theater, people. It's real! Arm yourselves. (He runs outside.) Nya! Where is she? (He sees a group of snakes.) Hey! (The Serpentine laugh at him when they see his tail.)
Pythor: Oh, what happened? Snake bite your tongue?
Nya: (Tied on a roller coaster train) Jay! Help!
Pythor: (Signals for Bytar to turn it on) Later, alligator. Let's go, boys.
(Jay gets on the ride.)
Nya: What happened to you?
Jay: What happened to you? (He spots a ring of fire and broken tracks ahead.) Unh, we have to get you out of here.
Nya: (seeing his tail) Were you bit? Take off your head scarf.
Jay: I prefer not. I was meaning to tell you, but I didn't want it to ruin the date.
Nya: Oh, that's so sweet. Hey, you were the first in your 'Lil Scouts group to get your knot badge, right?
Jay: Yeah, about that, I made that up just so I could impress you. I was never in 'Lil Scouts.
Nya: You weren't? Hold on.
Jay: What? You have an idea?
Nya: No, hold on! (They ride down a slope and Jay's scarf comes undone.)
Jay: Aah! Don't look at me! I'm a monster. Though I hate the Samurai, where is he when you actually need him? Samurai! Help! Help! Samurai!
Nya: Jay, I don't think the Samurai is coming.
Jay: Why?
Nya: I know this might not be the best time, but I haven't been totally honest either.
Jay: What is it?
Nya: I...I'm the Samurai!
Jay: You're the Samurai!? Aah! We're running out of track.
Nya: Jay, if anything horrible were to happen, I want you to know that you don't have to wear cologne or pretend to be anything that you're not. Because I like you best when you're you. (She kisses him and he turns back to human.) Your face. You're returning back to normal.
Jay: It's just like you said. You must have raised my heart rate.
Nya: Whatever happens next, just remember, you are the best you. (Jay stands up as his Nunchucks begin to surge with more power than before.) What's happening?
Jay: My True Potential. (He turns into pure electricity and stops the train before it reaches the ring of fire.)
(The ninja meet up at the Park's entrance.)
Zane: You really had me fooled. I never guessed you were the Samurai.
Cole: I wished I had a sister like you.
Kai: Technically, I was the first to discover her secret, and didn't we agree whoever we thought was the best would naturally be the Green Ninja? Huh? The Green Ninja! The destined ninja to defeat Lord Garmadon, huh?
Jay: Why would we say that?
Cole: Yeah, I'm drawing a blank.
Zane: Nope. That conversation is not in my database.
Jay: You know what I learned today?
Nya: What's that?
Jay: No matter what kind of secret you have, whether you're a snake or a samurai, it's important to be yourself.
Cole: Yeah, that's cute, but you wanna know what I learned? The Serpentine now have the first Fangblade.
Zane: But we are getting stronger. One day, we will all reach our True Potential and Pythor will be stopped.
Jay: And we figured out all this without Sensei. Pretty good for four ninja. (Nya punches him.) And a Samurai.
Kai: I wonder what Sensei is doing now.
(Garmadon and Wu reached the base of the mountain.)
Garmadon: We're here. The Mountain of Madness.
Wu: The only way back to Ninjago is up there?
Garmadon: The worst is yet to come. (They start ascending the mountain.)

"What the hell were you thinking?" "In all honesty, I'm not sure." With Cole Caufield please!
I love this prompt! Thank you for the request, I hope you like it!
Cole Caufield can only be described in one word, frustrating. We attend Northville High school together in Michigan. He’s part of the popular group of athletes. The USNTDP boys are a tight group, all the guys want to be friends with them and all the girls want to be with them.
I don’t blame anyone for wanting that. They are attractive and fun. Being apart of the coolest group at Northville would probably feel amazing for most people. For me, well I’m just trying to get through school.
High school isn’t my end-all be-all. It’s a stepping stone to get to college. The person who loves to get in the way of my plans is Cole Caufield. We are always in the same classes and for some reason he loves to sit next to me and bug me.
Today in English our teacher announced our end of the year project. It’s worth 20 percent of our grade so I need to do well. It’s a partner project and I’ve already decided that I want to do with my friend Amber who is acing the class.
In order to pick our partners we have to go up to the teacher’s desk and tell her who we want to work with. I walk up to the desk and say “I want to work with Amber on the final project.”
She throws me a confused expression, “I already have you marked down as working with Cole. He told me about the partnership last week.”
My eyebrows shoot up, “No I’m not working with Cole, I didn’t even know he chose me for this!”
“I’m sorry Y/n but unless you both agree to switch or there is a genuine issue then I can’t change it.” She looks apologetic, it’s not her fault.
I sigh and give her an awkward smile, “it’s fine I’ll figure it out.” I practically stomp back to my seat. I’m angry but I’m trying to calm myself.
The bell rings signaling the end of class. I grab my things and hurry to catch up with Cole. “Cole, hey can I talk to you?” He turns around. He has a big smile on his face, what a dipshit.
“Yeah Y/n what’s up?”
I take a deep breath, “Why did you pick me for the final project!? What the hell were you thinking?”
"In all honesty, I'm not sure." He replies scratching the back of his neck.
“Well you better start thinking. I know you probably thought you could just have me do all the work but I will make sure you do your half.”
Part of me hopes those words will scare him off but it doesn’t. He just smiles and says, “Okay, sounds good.”
“Put your number in my phone, I’ll text you my address. We can get started this weekend.” I huff shoving my phone into his hands. He types his number in quickly and walks off to his next class. I glance down at my phone and the name Cole :) stares back at me. It makes my face heat up, I’m not sure why.
Over the week we decided on a time for him to come over. Saturday at 11am. On Saturday I get myself ready, I even clean my room for him. Which is weird because I’m not sure if we’ll even be in there but my nervous energy had to go somewhere.
Suddenly it’s Saturday and Cole is late. At around 11:30 I begin to think he’s not showing up. I’m in a pit of my own anxiety because he’s not answering his phone. I’m trying to keep myself calm but it’s hard.
Finally at 11:45 I hear a knock at the door. When I open the door Cole is standing there. “I’m so sorry I’m late,” he says. “My phone died or I would have texted you. Practice ran late.”
“Right, okay.” I mumble. My mind mixing with anger and relief. “We can study in my room.”
He walks up with me and we are sitting on the bed together. We start brainstorming ideas and we are having trouble agreeing on anything. “Are you trying to be difficult? Why did you even choose me as your partner? First you’re late and now this.”
He sighs, “No Y/n, I’m not trying to be difficult. I’m trying to put in my input to make this work. I know you’re really smart but I also have some good ideas. I chose you because you’re really smart and I enjoy being around you. It’s the same reason as why I sit by you in class. Also I’m sorry I was late, it won’t happen again.”
I can’t but blush. It’s stupid how much I crave academic validation and him telling me I’m smart feeds into it. “Thank you Cole. How about we mix my first suggestion with your second. I think it could be really cool.”
We start working as a team instead of two bulls butting heads. It’s almost magic, he’s so much more dedicated and passionate then I thought he was.
After a while I’m starting to get tired of school work. “Do you want to call it quits for the day? We have a great start.”
“Yeah sure,” he replies. “Would you maybe want to hang out sometime? Like without all the school work.”
I smile, “I’m free the rest of the day if you want to watch a movie or something.”
“Yeah, yeah let’s do that!”
We sit down next to each other to watch the movie as we’re watching he gets a text from someone asking how it’s going with his ‘literature crush’. I’ve never felt better about a school project.

Heya! For the emoji asks: 🙈 something they’re shy about asking for? Maybe for a twinkyoung! Boba, bc I can't see older Boba being ashamed of much (but perhaps I'm wrong?.. 👀)
ps: don't forget to drink water and stretch!
Hey anon! Thank you SO much for the request! I had sooo much cleaning this weekend for Thanksgiving prep, I was finally able to get back to writing. This is SUCH a great request because it gives me the chance to explore a side of Boba that not many people see.
I’ve been rewatching TBOBF yet again so between that and this question, I actually DO think older Boba would carry a sense of shame. He’s strong, powerful, and all that but he also is learning more about himself, who he is, who he’s been, and who he wants to be. Yes, he can be confident and commanding - we love that about him - but there’s hidden wounds that still exist beneath the mental walls harder than any beskar…wounds that need healing, too.
So without further ado, here’s a fun little exploration of all that! This is SFW, just with a lot of angst and fluff - I hope you like it! 💚🖤
Tumblr media
Boba Fett had a certain quiet strength to him, even when he was simply standing, reading a room.
This strength didn’t diminish in the slightest when you two were alone.
You leaned against the stone railing of his balcony, the carved rock cool to the touch now that the suns had set. He stood beside you, green beskar glinting in the moonlight, brows furrowed as he looked out over the Dune Sea, mind wandering further then you wagered you’d ever travelled.
Your gaze roved the moon-washed dunes, tracing the shadows carved into the sand. You adjusted your poncho so it better shielded you from the cold even as a million thoughts raced in your mind. What all had he endured in his time after his escape from the Great Pit of Carkoon? What happened that changed such a hardened man? What losses did he carry on his shoulders?
“You look beautiful tonight.” His deep, rumbling voice broke you from your thoughts.
You turned your gaze from the desert to those dark, warm eyes. He was watching you, stern expression betraying a soft fondness you only ever saw when he looked at you.
“Thank you,” you dipped your gaze shyly, even as he shifted to fully face you, lifting a hand to gently caress your cheek. “So do you.”
He huffed, more of an exhalation of breath then a reply, but you quickly understood the dismissive response to your words.
“You do. I’m not just saying that,” you placed your hand over his, leaning into his touch. “One of these days you’ll have to believe me.”
Boba merely hummed a response, leaning down to capture your lips in his. You pressed into his armored chest to deepen the kiss, the beskar cool against your skin.
This was the game you played.
A dance of stolen, passionate kisses, gazes that burned like embers in the dark - but it never went further then that. You weren’t certain if it was simply a lack of attraction or hesitancy to get involved in a relationship, but it ate at you, even though you were like an addict, unable to stop returning for more.
“Boba,” your voice was soft when you both parted for breath, and he watched you closely, gauging your every movement. “Do you…like me?”
His dark brows flew up in what you registered as shock. “Of course I do, mesh’la. Very much so.”
You nodded, registering his words and running every action, every moment, through your mind. Then what was it? What were you missing?
“You’re upset,” he placed a hesitant hand on your arm, the warmth of his gloves welcome on your cool skin. “If I’ve done something wrong…please tell me.”
“No, it’s not that, it’s just…” you felt a blush creep to your cheeks, unable to stop it from surfacing. “We’ve been seeing each other for a little while now. I just wasn’t sure what you…what we, wanted. You know, where we wanted this to go.”
His eyes narrowed ever so slightly, lips pursed in thought. He lifted his hand from your arm, instead opting to cup your cheek, eyes nearly glittering in the dark.
“What is it that you want?” He raised a brow, the corner of his lip curving in a small smile despite the seriousness of his question.
You. You wanted to say. You, wholly and completely. All of you, all you have to give. Equally, I want to give you all I have. You, who deserves love, too.
His thumb brushed over your lip, making you shiver - a warmth curling through your body and coiling between your legs. Stars, no one made you feel the way Boba Fett did.
You. You were afraid to say, worried he’d reject you. You, you…
“You.” You weren’t sure what prompted you to speak your mind, his touch or your burning desire to know the answer and enough mad bravery for two seconds. “You make me feel safe, loved, seen…and I don’t know what you want. How far you want this to go…but I need to know where we want this to go.”
Before it’s too late and I see you as home…
“Oh, mesh’la,” the touch on your cheek turned to a caress, and his eyes carried a softness that nearly made you want to weep. He sighed, chin dipping, gaze flicking away from yours. “I want you too. Badly. But…I’m old. I’m not…”
He fell silent, something you could have sworn was shame flitting in his downturned gaze.
Stars, was Boba Fett, of all people, worried that you would reject him? He was always so strong, so immovable, you’d never thought that he’d think he wasn’t enough.
“I’m scarred, little one,” his voice was impossibly rough, quieter. “Haven’t been with anyone since the sarlacc. You deserve someone younger, not an old bounty hunter.”
Oh Maker, now it all made sense. Boba was afraid. Afraid that he couldn’t satisfy you, even though you had a very strong inkling he would.
“Boba,” you mirrored his gesture, this time placing your hand on his cheek, encouraging him to meet your gaze. “I’m not here out of pity. You are strong - the strongest person I’ve ever known. My feelings for you aren’t cheap, and I’m not expecting any more then what you want to give. But…I will ask you - what do you want?”
He hummed, moving his hand from your face to the back of your head, drawing you closer to him with a smile so genuine you swore it would rattle the stars.
“I want you, if you’ll have me,” his voice was soft yet rang with desire, so gentle despite the strength of the hands of the man who held you. “I’ve always wanted you, ever since we met. But I didn’t want to appall you. Didn’t know if…”
“You’re far too handsome for that,” you kissed him, taking the initiative, stepping closer. “You deserve love, Boba. And I do want you - I love you.”
His brows flew upward, shock registering on his features even as you kissed him again, hoping you could show him that yes, he could be loved. That he deserved it despite everything he’d done, the mistakes he’d made.
“I love you too, mesh’la,” his voice was rough like granite, taking a hoarse edge that made you grin. “You sure you want this?”
“I do,” you ran your fingers over the scar that wrapped around his head, and he shuddered, leaning into your touch and pressing a kiss to your wrist. “Let me show you.”
The hands that bore the blood of hundreds now so gently caressed you as he led you inside, helping you out of your clothes - lips dragging along your jawline, then your neck, as if you were his salvation.
And damn it all, as you helped him take off his legendary armor piece by piece, bearing him to you in all his glory; you swore you’d do your best to show him he was worthy of it.

Episode 13 Thoughts & Reactions
Omfggggg... with every episode I have so much on my mind, but reading all the wonderful metas others post helps me deal with it all. I did a post for a previous KP episode (I think it was 6?), but EP13 was jam packed with SO MUCH that I need to get things into words again.
First of all, Vegas & Pete. They broke my heart, together & individually. Vegas constantly being reminded of his lack of worth, finally standing up to his father...only to be put in his place again. And did yall see how happy he was preparing that food, how detailed he was with plating it? All for Pete, who he's found some semblance of happiness with despite Pete being there against his will. I absolutely LOVED the moment between VP when Pete's weakness broke through. All this time he's been telling Vegas how wrong everyone is about pitting him against his cousin, that he shouldn't hurt himself, that his father is an idiot. But there's a part of Pete that feels useless & pathetic too. Pete's struggle between what he knows is wrong & what he wants is too real, too raw, & too emotional. I have seen that this scene was quite triggering for some people, so I won't say too much about it. But you know V & P are way too into each other at this point to go thru with killing the other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Still, there's so much messed up about their attraction to the other, too much trauma bonding, that Pete can't reconcile it despite Vegas finding solace in it. You guys, this scene was the most emotional scene for me from the entire series. I think either right along with (or maybe even topping) the end of EP6 😱 I can't wait for more astute viewers to analyze the shit out of it.
Now KimChay (I shall leave my favorite couple for the end): obviously more time has passed between Kim & Chay than we saw on camera, because where did all those Polaroids come from? I read someone's post, I can't remember whether on Twitter or Reddit, that said Chay left these pictures in random places for Kim to stumble upon (when they were together of course). I think it's a cute thought, I think I'll believe it. Because it's all the more heartbreaking for Kim to keep finding them & being reminded of what a good thing he could have had, and what a bad thing he did. Good job to Chay for not letting this man walk all over him. He BLOCKED him. Like...I know I didn't have that much control over my emotions when I was going thru angst shit like this. We'd be mad @ each other, & I'd still be expecting a text like "please still be thinking of me". I know I'm not the only one. The only thing is I wish it wasn't at the expense of Chays education. (I'm a teacher, I value education HIGHLY). a few questions I have: what was Kim doing at the main house anyway? What could Korn want from him? What's with Kim's investigation, & how is he going to use what he knows? Because so far it's all been for naught. His investigation revealed some things to the viewers, but didn't move anyone else's plot along at all. I really hope we see him in the final battle, as I like to call it. It's going to be a Civil War, & all the Theerapanyakul Brothers better step up.
Random, but I think worth pointing out. Kim's shirt says "human". Maybe it's the theme of this episode, considering what Pete says to Vegas before he runs away, the way Kim is dealing with losing Chay, & Porsche not being able to forgive & forget what happened in the past.
Tumblr media
Now, KinnPorsche: it was heartbreaking to see Kinn doing what he can to make Porsche happy, all the while knowing Porsche is keeping something from him. And Kinn recognized that Porsche wasn't telling him the truth, did yall see how he looked at him when Porsche gave throw away answers?
Tumblr media
Ughhh, my heart. The graveside scene was beautiful, Mile appeared in Kinn here when he was staring at Porsche nonstop, I loved it. And then the pool scene. I gotta say, I didn't expect the scene to be surrounded by such heartbreaking moments, but alas it's what we got. Mile & Apo deserve all the accolades. I mean...it was so tender & beautiful, and sexy. & we got them finally saying "I love you" directly to each other. Despite everything that took place after, and everything to take place, can Kinn even doubt Porsche's love for him, and vice versa? It's very interesting to see how Kinn will react to Porsche leaving with all he knows now. Circumstances are definitely different, hell, KINN is different now. Even if Porsche is betraying the family, will Kinn take that as a personal betrayal as well? We know they'll make up in the next episode, but until that scene comes, I'm really looking forward to seeing how Kinn handles it all.
Everything else: I like the way the show is playing with Porsche's parents' death story. It's so well done, well put together, that if you haven't been reading others' novel spoilers it's surely to shock you. I understand Porsche's handling of the situation; sometimes you don't want to involve your loved ones in the doubts you have, especially when they're so intertwined with those doubts, yet you know they're not really a part of it. Vegas coming into play here is interesting. I always assumed that he was the one storming the main family house at the end, that the main family was shooting AGAINST him, but with everything that's come to light, I'm thinking it's possible that he's joining them instead. Against who?
His father.
Yes, I think his father shot Porsche's mom & dad. In Porsche's memory, only Korn & Gun were there, & I KNOW Korn didn't kill them. So.... & Vegas has a lot of anger, resentment, & bitterness harbored against his dad that I could see him blaming Gun for losing Pete & everything else he's loved. We've already seen Vegas push back against his dad in this episode, so what's not to say he won't go full throttle in the next? Besides, he loves Pete, he's helping Porsche, and Pete has made him realize that maybe...he doesn't have to live up to Kinn.
I appreciate how Porsche knows Vegas is behind what happened to Pete. Here's where that phrase we all love throwing around comes into play: morally Grey. Despite knowing that Vegas harmed Pete so badly based on what Porsche was able to see, he still requests his help, and even makes sure to set things up for him to see Pete. I was...appalled at this action, but had to remind myself that these characters are looking out for NO.1 only. Themselves. & this scene between Vegas & Pete, the way Pete slid down the beam & Vegas went with him...guys, I'm telling you. Everything about them got me emotional this episode.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
About the ending, i find it interesting that P's uncle is at the temple. It just goes to highlight how fake he is, because we know that guy doesn't have a worshipping bone in his body. I reveled in Porsche taking the money back, but was upset that the uncle died right in front of him. That's 3 family members Porsche has witnessed getting murdered. & let me tell you, even when you despise a family member, you still feel a certain sadness when something like this befalls them. But Uncle was true to his character until the end.
Some ppl were questioning why would Kinn shoot him when Porsche is right there, he could've hit him. Ummmm...I don't think anyone from the main family shot him. Not Pete, not Kinn. The two were too far away, basically rounding a corner. It appeared to me that they started running when they heard the gun shots, not that they were the source of them. And the way it was shot confirms that for me: rather than the camera panning to show Kinn or Pete with their guns outstretched as if they shot, it shows Porsche falling & getting a bit of his memory back. Indicating that he didn't actually see who shot his uncle, therefore neither did we. And there's something symbolic about Vegas & Porsche riding away together while Kinn & Pete are left behind. I could probably pull something from it, but I'm on summer vacation & my brain isn't required to squeeze meaning out of everything for the next 1.5 months, so I'll leave that to better equipped minds.
And finally, the ending scene. Ahh, Porsche pointing a gun at Korn's head. How I've waited this entire show to see this happening. & of course, Korn drops the bombshell. "She was my sister". Iwnsishsnaowveiapqapaodhei.
For the record, I don't think she was his biological sister, no Kinn & Porsche aren't cousins, no it doesn't still count just because their parents maybe called each other "bro" & "sis" once upon a time. I loved that they kept this in the show from the books. It ups the drama. Makes everything that happened--& everything that's going to happen--hit harder, mean more. Sure, they could've tried to find another way to explain how Korn & Porsche'a parents knew each other, but it's already been written this way. Why change something that works (we know they changed things that DIDNT work, like with Vegas & Pete). Also, the way Korn phrased it, leaving out the 'adopted' part? I laughed. He knows it's going to freak Porsche out for obvious reasons, but the episode ended on a cliffhanger & what better way to gut punch the viewers & Porsche than to phrase it like this. Anyway, he'll definitely clarify in the next episode.
EP13 did not disappoint. Nothing that happened, or at least the way it happened, was expected, & for a show to be able to do that consistently--well, I'll never be able to praise the writing enough. It's wonderfully done. The best of the best (tho, I would be remiss if I said it was perfect. There are some issues, but they're relatively minor). With that, I'd love to read everyone else's thoughts & predictions 😆

I think you read too much into the Kakasaku secret: it only said that during the war arc (not during the whole show, just this arc) there was more shippy moments between Kakashi and Sakura than between Sasuke and Sakura. I don't understand why you needed to bring Gai into the mix (and I'm a big Kakagai shipper myself). The secret maker wasn't comparing Kakagai to Kakasaku nor were they being antagonistic to other ships or shipper in this secret. I feel fans are being too harsh and too judgy towards someone they know nothing about and who, as far as I saw, didn't do anything wrong here.
1) if you’re going to talk ships that i’m not going to be favorable towards, put an * in the name so it doesn’t show up in the tag please. Tumblr tagging is a whole ass mess and you just having the ship name untagged is probably going to land this in the tag where it does not belong
2)
Tumblr media
I brought up both Gai and Obito as a ‘hey Kakashi was being tender and kind towards more than just his student yet people like this would probably tell me and others that those are ‘best friends you can’t ship them they’re platonic besties’ while romanticising a ship between a student and teacher. I didn’t bring them up cuz the op of the confession was making comparison’s, i made an appropriate comparison of ‘hey Kakashi was also tender with these two age appropriate people yet you’re gonna sit here and be like ‘nah, he was def gonna be cannon with his student’ which is gross enough
3) if you’re unblocked, talk to me on the confession page not here. The confession page is for these conversations where they can happen so my page can stay focused on good shit. If you’re blocked… i don’t know what to say the block is pretty clear.
To summarize: someone sent in a confession saying they totally thought Kakas*ku would be canon, so they thought kakashi a 31 yr old would get with his 16 yr old student, because Kakashi was …
Being nice to her. Holding her up, supporting her, saving her from falling into a pit of lava and such (when Kakashi’s whole motto is ‘don’t let my precious people die) 
I simply brought up Gai and Obito to say ‘hey, Kakashi did these things with these other two people but you’re not reading that as romantic? Just the fact he was kind to his student?.
‘Too harsh and too judgy’
Nah, when you say you genuinely thought Kishi and his editors were gonna be perfectly fine warping an innocent student-teacher bond into something romantic you deserve a little judgment. At no point was a cruel, i didn’t call anyone names, and i wasn’t melicious.
I simply stated facts: kakashi was soft towards multipul people yet the canon one they saw was him and his student? Kakashi was 31 and sakura was 16 which is inappropriate as f****. The reach to call Kakashi being soft ‘romantic attraction’ in an arc where he was soft with multiple people is pretty big and must have hurt something, and then my inly other comment was when an Anon brought up how Kakashi was ‘pushing Sasuke towards Sakura in boruto’ which was a misread scene. Kakashi was trying to help Sasuke bond with Sarada, his daughter. The only time Sakura came up in that scene was when she showed up and Kakashi tapped out saying ‘i’ll leave this to someone more qualified’ (since you know, sakura is sarada’s mother?

So, I published a Cinderella / Pride and Prejudice mashup last week. And it's already my fifth-highest grossing book, as it just passed the royalty total for the book I published ten years ago...
So, um, if anyone else wants to help me see how many more of my back titles it can outsell by the end of the month, that would be fun. The title is Crown and Cinder, and it is the second book of a series of Austen / Fairy tale mashups. (By the end of next year, I do plan to have all six of Austen's novels retold, and I have a fairy tale picked out for every one of them). It's pseudo-medieval worldbuilding with elemental magic, and I think they're pretty fun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And if you'd like to check out some other fun Cinderella retellings, I just published Cindy Ellen, a short and sweet western-esque retelling by my mother, and my friend Sarah Pennington released Mask of Scarlet, which is a mystery set in a Jazz-era world with fae. It's delicious and I highly recommend the whole series. Bastian is the Best, and you all need to fall in love with him as much as I have.

Can y'all do a thing for me? Crown & Cinder, my Cinderella / Pride & Prejudice mashup, is currently 99 cents on kindle, and will be so for about a week. It's a countdown sale, meaning that I'm making the full 70% royalty.
I'd like to try to get 1,000 sales while it's a dollar. I'm currently sitting at one. So if the concept sounds intriguing to you (and it's a VERY fun story - Lizzy has fire magic!), please consider buying it - and sharing this post to spread the word. a thousand sales is a lofty goal, but I think if I can hit the algorithm right, it'll be possible. So, pretty please, go check it out.
(And, cough, book 1 will be 99 cents next week, but I dropped this one this week 'cause of scheduling issues. So keep an eye out for that.)

"He's only mean to you because he likes you."
Like many girls, I was told this by my mother, but it was always with the caveat: "And he lacks the emotional maturity to properly handle the attraction." And I think that's an important caveat that most girls need to hear - you can take the complement, you can let it boost your self-esteem, but move on. He's just an immature boy who isn't worth your time.
And, honestly, it can work both ways. Girls can be just as mean when they don't want to admit attraction.

"What your characters say is their motivation isn't in line with their character and actions."
Yup, it's called narrative dissonance. Homegirl ain't being honest enough with herself to admit what's actually driving her. Maybe she'll figure out over the course of the book, maybe we won't. Who knows. I love pitting show and tell against each other and seeing who comes out on top.

My #1 post of 2022
The secret of creating good art isn't talent, it's patience.
I'm an author, my sister draws and paints, but we both dabble in the other's wheelhouse.
And, one day, I had just hastily thrown together my cartoonish attempt at a fairy (Not terrible, but I've just accepted that my art style is on the cartoon side of things), and my sister starts telling me all the tricks and stuff that improves proportions and style ... and I just look at her and go, "I don't have the patience for that."
And she just pulls back, blinking. "But you sit there, hours upon hours, stringing words together for your books. Don't tell me you don't have patience."
"I do have patience for writing. Every word I write is visible progress, and I've moved forward in the story. But art is static. And I don't have the patience that allows me to pour hours and hours into something static. You, however, focus on that one image and chip away at until you have it."
My other main craft is knit and crochet. My sister sews. And I realize that this holds true. My patience is linear. I'll spend weeks and years on a project, just so long as each word or stich is a visible step forward. My sister's patience is more abstract. She will polish the details on a image until it's perfect, constructing elements until it fits her vision - but she won't give it the time I will. She wants to get things done and have them be over.
And neither one is wrong. Neither is unreasonable. But if you have an art you want to pursue, you have to give it patience. The patience to do the craft, and the patience to learn how to do it well.
And yes, some of us have a bit of talent that means we need a little less patience ... but that talent is just a head start. We still have to run the rest of the race.

Soon youll be mine
Tumblr media
Part 1 (not necessary to read the first part to understand the second part)
Character: Sanzu Haruchiyo/ Akashi Haruchiyo, mentions of baji
Genere: This is the fluff part ig, but its yandere themed 
Warnings: Hints toward him stalking and yandere tendencies, also a pit perverty
Note: this fic focuses on sanzu being a psycho, there will be no smut 
Requests    Masterlsit
----------------------------------------
Your friends didn't leave you because they didn't like you anymore, they left because it was better for their own safety. Not long before they left, Sanzu approached them and threatened them. Most of your friends fought back, they wouldn't give up your friendship this easily. That was until they saw what he was capable of. They couldn't do anything, but accept. And Chifuyu knew that there was no other way this could go. Therefore, he tried to convince Baji to leave, it was for his own safety, but Baji being the way he is of course didn't listen. It might have been the little crush he has had on you for the past couple of months speaking for him. Regardless of having feelings or not, he'd always stay by your side. 
And so you were never alone during breaks, Baji always held you company, just like he promised.
“Man, it's been almost 20 minutes! Where is he?”, you were sitting outside during break, waiting for Baji to come by. 
“Hey there, cutie.”
“God finally, Baji. took you long enough-”, you cut yourself off after turning towards the voice. There was a tall man with pink hair, admittingly handsome. His face looked like one of a model, his face-shape fitting perfectly with the shape of his nose and lips. But his eyes. While they also had a perfectly fitting shape with enchanting sky blue pigmented irises that you could get lost in- ´Hold on. I don't even know this man, what am I thinking?´
“Hello? Do I know you?”, you questioned him, seeing as this is the first time you’ve seen this man. “Oh, no, we don't know each other. I was just hanging around here. Then I saw a beauty like you sitting here all alone. How come?”, his lips moved so effortlessly and seemed as if they’d practiced this sentence a thousand times.They were drawing you in so easily, making you want to listen to him talk more. Also making you forget to answer.
“You`re staring, cutie.”, the male teased you. Drowning in his eyes and voice, you tried to snap back into reality.
“Ah- I didn't mean to, I was just-”, you tried to explain yourself. As you were trying to think of an excuse he spoke, “Don't worry, sweetcheeks. If anything it is a compliment. Glad to know a cutie like you finds me good looking.” His grin provocatively growing larger after every word. “Hey, I never said that-”, he looked at you, very amused. “Ugh you're not even listening to me. I was just caught off guard, that's all.” 
Just by looking at his stupid, but very attractive smirk, you could see that he did not belive you in the least. “Right, of course. I can keep calling you pet names or would you like to tell me your name?”, he looked at you, “Unless you insist, I can also call you cutie all the time or maybe sweethea-” 
“No, thank you. I prefer my name. It's Y/N.”, you interrupted him. “Pleased to meet you, Y/N. My name is Haruchiyo Akashi. Call me Sanzu. Or “boyfriend”, “Babe” works too-”, Sanzu looked at you, trying not to laugh at your playful annoyed expression. You could only roll your eyes in response. 
“May I?”, Sanzu asked, pointing down at the free seat next to you. Nodding, you let him sit next to you. “So what are you doing here all alone? Gonna meet up with friends here?” 
You sighed, looking down at the floor, “Ah, well, no. They just kinda left me. After some time you'll probably leave too.” Turning to face him, you saw something in his eyes change. Somehow they got darker, more imitating. “Promised, I won't leave. I'm not gonna let the chance of getting to know such a pretty girl like you slip so easily.”, he smiled. You could only roll your eyes at him, how cheeky. “Wait until you get to actually know me. Apparently I'm not as pleasant to be around as you may think.” Sanzu just laughs at you, not believing you, “We`ll see about that, cutie.” 
“Yeah well, my friends- I don't know if I can even call them my friends anymore, but they just suddenly stopped hanging out with me, they just left. I don't know what I did wrong.” 
Sanzu looked at you, his smile strangely not fading, “This must be pretty upsetting for you. I'm sorry you had shitty friends like that, sweetcheeks.”
“Why did you ask for my name if you'd call me pet names the whole time anyway?”, you chuckled. “Ah well, I just can't help it, you know. You're just too-”, the male tried to talk, getting interrupted by a ringtone. Thinking it was him getting called, he took out his phone. He looked at you, “I think you're the one getting the call, sweets.” 
With a confused expression you took out your phone, “Huh? Who would be calling me right now?” Seeing as it was your mother calling, you answered immediately. After just a few sentences from the person on the other side of the call, you froze. “What's wrong, Y/N?”, Sanzu asked. “Ok. I´ll see you then. Bye, mom.” 
“Sweetcheeks? What happened?”, Sanzu asked, putting an arm over your shoulders and moving closer. He didn't expect anything from his action, other than maybe rejection. So to say that after your next movement he was shook, would be a huge understatement. Without warning you quickly turned into his chest, pulling him close by gripping onto his shirt. Tears falling down your cheeks, now also hitting Sanzus' chest. 
His shock was quickly replaced by a smirk that you couldn't see. You were so close, clinging onto him. Not even noticing how much your chest was pressing against his. But he would never tell you, why would he ruin such a beautiful moment for himself? “Hey, Hey, what happened, love?” Choking on your tears, you tried to speak, “Sanzu-” As you were taking a breath to calm down, he was secretly going crazy over the sound of you saying his name while crying. What a melody to his ears. 
“I was waiting here for the only friend that still hung out with me, now my mom called me saying- saying-”, you couldn't continue, it was too painful. The pain makes it hard to breathe and impossible to talk. 
“Now, now, kitten. Take a deep breath for me.” Following Sanzus orders, you breathed in, trying to calm down. “Take it easy. Calm down first. I got you, you're safe with me.” You nodded, falling back into his embrace as he tightened his arms around you. Making you feel secure and protected. Breathing in his scent, you noticed how he smelled like fresh flowers, like roses on a field. His hands caressing your back, soothing you to a more calm and relaxed state. You sighed out, “I didn't mean to full on start crying in front of someone i just met.” 
“Don't worry, it's fine. Are you ready to tell me what happened?”, he loosened the hug, making it possible for you to lean back a bit and look him in the eyes. “Just now, my mom told me that-”, you took a pause to breathe, feeling the tears coming back. “My friend, Baji, was found dead a couple hours ago.”
Sanzu pulled you back into his chest, seeing as your breathing got heavier and tears were coming back. His smirk also returning. So they finally found the body, things were working out just perfectly. You in his arms crying and the last bastard that just wouldn't leave you alone, finally dead. “I´ll stay with you, I'm not gonna leave you.” Strangely his words were much more comforting than they should have been. For the following couple of minutes you were just clinging onto him, the pain being too much to bear.
Sanzu on the other hand was doing just fine, he was enjoying this. His love desperately clinging onto him for support, searching for comfort. Completely forgetting that he, to you, is actually a complete stranger. 
After calming down, you lifted yourself off his figure, “Now I have nobody. I'm all alone now.” 
Shaking his head in disapproval, sanzu lifted his hand up to your face to caress your cheek, “Sweets, no you're not. You have me. I´ll be the best friend you've ever had. Promise.”
His smile, accompanied with his kind and reassuring words, brightened up your mood. Sanzu looked at you, dragging his hand up and down your thigh, “Should I bring you home?” 
Receiving a nod, he then proceeded to get up and take your hand, leading you to his car. Sitting in the passenger seat, you waited for Sanzu to start driving. The male on the other hand was just sitting there with his phone in his hand waiting, “Sweets, you'll have to tell me where you live.” 
Shaking your head with a sigh, you told him your address, “Sorry. I'm still-” ''Don't apologize, it's fine. Just relax until we're home.”, He interrupted you. 
While relaxing into the seat in the comfortable warmth, you didn't pay attention to the way his last sentence came out so perfectly smoothly. As if he'd practiced it millions of times. Also not realizing that he started driving without even typing in your adress. But that went completely over your head, closing your eyes from exhaustion due to the crying and emotional pain.
