Prompt: Ace dares you to jump at the first person to come around the corner to see if they'll catch you.
Tumblr media
Azul ;; seven help him, he's still not completely used to his land body, even less legs! He'll be falling flat on the floor
Great, now you're about to murder this guy just because Ace told you to. Look at him! He's just trying to read his (evil little) book! And here you come, ready to jump at him, and even if it makes you end in jail, you can't chicken out of it now.
The moment he hears you running at him as if he was a bucket of chum makes him freak out. He's looking around wildly trying to figure out what is happening, his weird, fleshy legs aren't responding to him. like his tentacles would, and he stays frozen in fear.
When you jump at him, he lets the book fall at his feet, lifting his arms. Was that a weak attempt to hold you or was he only trying to protect his face? After all, glasses are very expensive. Perhaps both, perhaps none.
His body crashes against the floor quite harshly, you must admit, and you even fear that you actually ended his life, but his groaning states that no, even if his usually perfect dorm uniform was quite… ragged and disheveled to be nice, he was still breathing and alive. Good! Now Grim doesn't have to worry about you getting him tuna from jail!
Now, you help him up, asking for forgiveness. He's still quite dizzy, so please help him get to his dorm, and maybe treat him to something nice.
Tumblr media
Jade ;; ah… you would be better off falling down a cliff. He will surely grab you, even if he has to drop something… but it will have a price for you.
You looked at Ace, begging him with your eyes to back let you back off of the dare. You did NOT want to die yet. The only response you got was a shitty smirk and a push from Ace.
You noted mentally that you would make his life terrible for making you do this.
You took a strong breath before bolting in his direction, at which he quickly reacted, looking at you with a surprised face, but only for a second, before the corner of his lips lifted slightly, a sardonic smile on his face that showed his sharp and dangerous teeth.
“Oya?” He dropped the stacks of papers and notebooks he was holding, probably for class or for the lounge. It didn't matter either way, as they laid forgotten at his feet while his arms were now occupied with your body, his hands under your legs to support your weight. “What are you doing, Prefect?” His smile sent shivers down your spine, and you tried to get as physically far as possible, but his hold on you didn’t allow much distance.
“Hmm, don’t you think you could have gotten quite… hurt?” You believe he was the danger. As he saw you struggle, he tightened his grasp on you for a second, before actually letting you down. You could feel the way those teeth that showed behind his smile could sink in your flesh and tear it apart, and you did not want to experience it any time soon, so you sank further away from him.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Your body froze as he stared at you, his arm pointing down at the mess you had created. “Don’t think you’re getting away without paying for causing this chaos, it’s your fault, after all.”
Yeah, Ace was mentally preparing what outfit he was going to wear at your funeral.
Tumblr media
Floyd ;; depends on his mood, either he grabs you and slings you over his shoulder like a potato sack and runs away, turns around and leaves without acknowledging you or (in the worst possible scenario) slams you against the floor for annoying him, lets hope its the most peaceful option.
Your eyes widen, you don't even know how to react. Sure, he could catch you (and squeeze you in the process) but if he was in a bad mood, you could also end in the hospital easily, and you did not want to put your life on a dice roll. Idia was the RNG god, not you.
But apparently, today you were the Seven’s favourite, since Floyd, the moment he laid eyes on you, smiled and enthusiastically waved his hand high in the air.
“Lil’ Shrimpy!!” He started speed walking at you, and you used that to your opportunity, starting to sprint in his direction.
His smile widened, showing off his sharp teeth. He stopped moving, opting instead to spread his legs to get a better footing and opening his arms, ready to catch you.
You both were smiling as you crashed into each other. He quickly held onto you, spinning you both around for a couple of seconds.
“Shrimpy!!!! That was so fun! Let’s do it again!!” His arms around you are tightening, not enough to crush you or break a rib…yet, but enough so that you could not squirm against his hold. “Ohh, but if I’m late, Azul will punish me by making me do the dishes…” His smile faltered, but it quickly was replaced by one of his toothy grins. “I know! I know! I’ll bring you with me!”
And then, he slung you on his shoulder, putting a hand at the back of your knee for support. You tried hitting his back but he didn’t care, only laughing and even shaking you around as revenge. 
You got very strange looks as you both walked through the corridors towards the mirror chamber.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kalim ;; HE TRIES, he is capable of lifting you up, but he might get startled and fall with you.
Uh oh, you’re gonna make Jamil’s headache even worse.
Kalim smiles as he sees you. If he was the sun, he looked at you as if you were his sky. He smiled bright enough to blind you, but that didn't stop you coming at full speed at him.
The moment you did not stop, he looked confused, almost scared. Did you turn on him? Absolutely not, he told himself, you were way too nice to sell yourself to one of those noble families that wanted him gone, he trusted you.
Therefore, he was not that startled when you opened your arms and jumped at him, his smile widened even more, which would torment you until your death if you actually made him topple over and hurt even a single ONE of the hairs in his head.
Jamil, even at Scarabia Dorm, could sense that some trouble was happening.
He actually managed to grab you on time! He held you tight to his body, spinning on his heels a couple of times, twirling you both. His laugh crackled through the air, and damn the Seven, it was so contagious. You could not manage to not laugh with him.
He lets you softly on the floor, but still holds onto you, his arms around yours.
He gently swayed you both around, going around some flower pots in the garden.
As he hugged you tight, his foot got caught on a stray root, and as his hold on you was pretty strong, dragged you down with him.
You were worried that you hurt him, but he only laughed, his eyes closed and wrinkling at the edges.
"Woops." Was the only thing he said before you joined in his giggling.
But let's not forget Jamil, who was now running around in search of Kalim.
Tumblr media
Jamil ;;  poor jamil, he will most definitely catch you, but may scold you afterwards, please dont stress him out even more, if you say you trusted him to catch you, he’ll be a blushing mess
He had been sent to retrieve the notes Kalim had accidentally left at Crewel's class when he spotted you and Ace. And the way he whispered to you didn’t give him any good feelings.
He tried to spin on his heels and speed-walk away from you two as fast as he could, but as quick as that might have been, it wouldn’t surpass the speed at which you were already running at him.
Even as he tried to zig zag to get you off of his trail, you did not give up, so, the only thing he could do now was accept his fate. He spun around again. For the seven, he only wanted to finish his chores quickly and go back to Scarabia!
“What do you want prefe-EHK.” The moment he was facing you he had you already jumping at him, and the only response he could muster was dropping Kalim’s notes to pass his arms around you so you both wouldn’t fall and get hurt. He was, to say the least, shocked, what were you trying to do? Why would you do that? How could you do that? Why him!? It’s not as if you were sure he would have caught you, you could have fallen to the floor! He could have just ignored you, and continued walking away!
He tried asking you, but as you told him that you did it because you were sure he wouldn't have done that, he hid his face in your shoulder, unable to look you in the eye.
The moment he left you on the floor, he tried to clean the mess you had caused as quickly as possible, and refused you (multiple times) when you offered to help him. When he was done, he left as if he had never been there, well, except for a forgotten piece of paper with messily scribbled words on it.
“Thank you.” It said.

Cheerful/Affectionate Darling behaving coldly to the yandere Octotrio
I don’t really have a title but I wanted to write some yandere works. After reading a work by @twstedworks on the Tweels bullying reader I wondered what would happen if reader was catching them in the act doing it with another student (Yes, I may be or may not be the requester for that one ask....)
Anyway, I had the idea and I wanted to write it down, I had another idea of the trio in a normal world where they own a Mostro lounge on campus but are part of a mafia and such with reader being the object of their yandere affection but I did’t have much ideas on that.
Anyway hope you’ll enjoy my attempt at yandere writing.
_______________________________________________________
START HERE!
Being an affectionate and cheerful person had a lot of perks. Not only do people happily give you hugs, but you draw those around you towards you. That includes the infamous trio.
After the whole Overblot incident, the mermen found themselves attracted to you, your bright personality, cute mannerisms and not to mention being the perfect cuddle buddy was all that was needed to get them to become quite fond of you. So fond that as time went by, their fondness became an obsession.
People told you to stay away from them, telling you how it's dangerous to be involved with people, as shady as them, yet you didn't listen, wanting to believe that they had changed. That they were no more the people, they once were.
How wrong you were.
With widened eyes and a trembling figure, you watched the large twins actively beat up someone due to not paying up their part of the deal. You were, just wandering around the school when you heard loud thumps coming from a secluded area. Curiosity took over you, and you walked towards the sound only to find blood scattered across the floor while Floyd pounded at a poor, students face.
"Now Dear, you shouldn't be here."
A familiar voice told you, coming to you from behind and placing a gloved hand on your shoulder. Being pulled back, you ended up leaning into the person, causing you turned your head to the silver-head male.
"Azul!"
You turned your figure to him, grabbing onto his shirt, and with pleading eyes, you begged him to stop the twins from continuing their brutal actions. Your hopes became crushed when he replied with a dark chuckle.
" Oh darling, I can't do that~. For those who don't pay the price has to deal with whatever punishment comes their way."
Your face paled, not wanting to believe that the man you once thought had changed turned out to have never done so. You turned your body to the student on the floor, all bloodied and bruised yet continued to take the beating despite being unconscious.
"STOP IT! He is already out of it!"
You yelled, moving forward so that you could help the poor soul. Being grabbed by the wrist, you were once again pulled into the chest of Azul as he held your struggling figure.
"Do not struggle, angelfish. Just look away and not interfere."
Azul cooed, keeping your head buried in his chest as you cried. Listening to the hits impacting the body before a screech came ringing through your ears.
------------------------------------------------------
You couldn't sleep that night, not after what you just witnessed. Sure you passed out from crying in Azuls chest, but when night rolled by, you woke up in your bed as the memories replayed in your head.
You were conflicted, you didn't know what to feel about the trio anymore, a part of you wanted to believe that you imagined it all, but really, you knew that'd be a lie. A small body stirred beside you in bed, yawning widely and rubbing eyes, tiredly.
"Nggyaahh... Is it morning?"
Grimm asked sleepily, opening his eyes to look at you.
"Hey, you don't look so good, are you feeling okay?"
He asked, you wanted to tell him, to talk to him about the horrible experience that occurred, yet you bit your tongue, smiling at him with closed eyes.
"Its nothing, let's just get ready."
-------------------------------------------------
The day past with you avoiding the Octavinelle students, and faking your usual cheery self. Your friends could tell something was off and asked you yet you gave a simple answer of being tired, with Grimm backing you up. It was just one more period before you could go back to your dorm, and you were quite relieved not having to bump into any of the three until one of them called out for you.
"SHRIMPY~!"
Floyd came at full speed towards you, ready to tackle you in a hug that you always would reciprocate but this time, something took hold of you, as you moved out of the way, causing the large male to land on the floor instead of you. Your action surprised everyone around you, but you didn't care about that, your rage wanted to explode from how casual he tried being with you despite the disgusting actions of the previous day.
"Oya? Isn't this new?"
You heard Jade comment, causing you to turn and give a close eyed smile at the other two who approached. You knew that if you opened your eyes, they would pick up immediately that something was off, so they remained shut in a smiling way.
"Ah, Senpai."
You called to them while the one twin got up from the ground.
"Sorry Floyd, I didn't realise that you came in for a hug."
You lied which everyone except Floyd caught on. Floyd pouted, whining at how it hurts the landing was while attempting to hug you again, which you dodged.
"I'm not feeling for affection today."
You told him, giving everyone another shock. Floyd whined again while Jade smirked, Azul gave you a concerned look before asking if you were feeling okay. You cheerfully answered that you were, though there was irritation in your speech. Your jaw clenched as Floyd placed his hand on your shoulder, asking if you were going to visit them at the Mostro Lounge like usual.
"No, not today, I have a lot of work to do."
"Ehhh? But we can help shrimpy do the work, or better yet we forget the work and do something fun."
You 'laughed' at Floyd's suggestion, taking his hands off you despite wanting to be cruel and slap it away.
"It's okay. I don't want to be a bother."
You told him. Before he could try to convince you you quickly told them you had class and you will see them around, not meaning it. They watched your retreating figure slowly disappear into a classroom before there was a low chuckle.
"Neh, what's so funny Jade?"
Floyd asked his brother, with a frown. Azul knew what the other twin was going to say, quickly suggesting to do so in private.
--------------------------------------------------------
Days became weeks and weeks turned into a month of avoiding the trio. You didn't feel any remorse for doing so as you thought it would be best to detach yourself from them. They didn't seem to be anywhere in your presence which you were grateful, but you could feel eyes watching your every move. You suspected it being the twins as they were notorious for doing so, yet you ignored that speculation as you thought they'd give up eventually. I mean, it's not like you were an important person in their lives. Right?
----------------------------------------------------------
Well, aren't you special?
Floyd has been much moodier without you, picking more fights and becoming even more brutal than before. Azul ends up crying in his office after watching you give out hugs to those around you, genuinely smiling at them with happiness, and all the while, Jade has to calm the two down, despite having the urge to kidnap you and, lock you in a cage for him to admire.
"All in due time."
He would say to calm them, but Floyd's patience was running thin, and Azul desperately wanted you in his arms, causing them to keep tabs on you while creating a space that you couldn't escape.
-----------------------------------------------------
A cool breeze blew on your face. It was a warm night, and you were on your way back to the Ramshackle Dorm after picking up a few items at Sam's shop. The walk was enjoyable. You took a longer route to enjoy more of the weather, and the nightly surroundings before eventually stopping to admire the stars.
"It's really, a beautiful night."
You sighed, enjoying the moment.
Your peace is disturbed when a faint rustle came from a nearby bush, causing you to turn in that direction.
"Probably small animal."
You thought, walking over to check it out. Upon arriving, you placed the two bags in your hand down and took out your phone, turning on the flashlight to see anything. There was nothing.
You sighed and placed your phone away, grabbing the bags again and began walking. Not too long you could hear thumping hitting the ground, you turned again, and to your horror there was Floyd, running at full speed towards you with a twisted grin. Panic surged through your body, giving you the response to choose fight or flight mode.
You chose flight as your body moved on its own accord, your legs desperately moving as fast as they could to getaway. However, it wasn't enough. Soon you were pulled by your clothes, causing you to trip on your feet and fall to the ground, the perpetrator letting go once you fell. You groaned at the impact, trying to get up but a force kept you down. Floyd was sitting on top of you as he watched you struggle under him.
"Neh Shrimpy, why are you struggling? You had this coming."
He told you, watching with interest as you struggled to breathe from his weight. He leaned closer, adding more pressure to your body before giggling.
"I want to play with you some more, but Jade and Azul are waiting, so I have to be real quick."
Before you could breathe out a response, you felt a sudden pain at the back of your head, causing you to fall out of conscience.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Your eyelids started slowly to open, as you awoke from your slumber. The sudden pain at the back of your head seeped through your body, causing you to shut your eyes and groan, trying to bring up your hand to touch it but being unable to do so.
"what?"
You questioned, opening your lids again, you turned your head to the direction of your hand, finding it restrained to the bedpost.
"Huh?"
Confused you pulled on the other arm, turning to see that it was the same before attempting to move your legs only for it to be restrained as well.
"If you move too much, the rope will bite into your skin."
A voice said, causing you to turn to the doorway where three males came in. Confused, and terrified you began to pull on the rope, trying to, somehow break it.
"It's not going to work. The rope I used, was designed not snap easily. So try as you may but, a mere tug won't work."
Jade gave a toothy grin, showing off his sharp teeth.
"P-please just let me go."
You started tearing up, continuously struggling despite what was said.
"And why would we do that?"
Azul came walking towards the bed, sitting down on space and bringing his hand up to caress your cheek.
"Do you know how much trouble you've caused? Messing with our hearts is unforgivable."
He spoke angrily, his touch quickly becoming harsher. Tears started rolling down his eyes and onto you while he bit his lip.
"Avoiding me, not sparing a second glance? Were you trying to throw me away? Giving you attention to others while I had to sit and watch you?"
His grip on your cheek tightened, causing you to wince in pain, he would have continued to go off if Jade hadn't stepped in, reminding the male that he was turning into his pitiful self. Azul took a breath to calm himself, slowly exhaling before looking at you with now lovesick eyes.
"But its okay now isn't it? You're here with us."
His hold became gentle again, rubbing away the tears that you unconsciously slipped out. There was movement beside you, clinging to your sides and resting a head on your arm.
"And we will give you all the affection you want, isn't that great shrimpy?"
Floyd beamed, coming closer to nuzzle his head in your neck.
"After all, we don't plan on letting you go. Since..."
Jade began as they simultaneously gave you a creepy smile.
"...You belong to us, now."

Alice In Twisted Wonderland //Yandere! Dorm Leaders X Reader//
Tumblr media
This is a squeal to Lost Darling ( https://yandere-wishes.tumblr.com/post/612896494343831552/the-lost-darling-yandere-twisted-wonderland-x )
===========================================================
"I don't want to be amongst villains!" you cried out, tears slipping from your already glossy eyes as you tried to cover them with the palms of your hands.
"You can't help that" Grim stated as he nuzzled your side, "If you were a good person you wouldn't be here, besides we are all evil here, we've all committed a sin or two even I the great grim have blood on my paws"
The weeping continued, tears falling quicker from your bloodshot eyes. The whimpers become audible to those within the cramped room. "H-how do you know that I-I've sinned? What wrong have I ever committed?" You voiced cracked, oxygen wasn't flowing in right causing your lungs to heave.  The room began to spin the furniture waltz from right to left, left to right. The window slip across the walls making it's way to the roof planting it's self right above where you wept, casting the spotlight of the blazing afternoon sun on your depressing performance.
"You must have done something wrong...maybe not killed someone directly but ruined a life, recked a happy home, cursed a baby, lured unsuspecting children to an island of sloth where they were turned to animals and where sold to the highest  bidder?" Despite the bizarre nature of the question, Grim's face remains sympathetic and serious.
You shook your head which caused the room to spin even faster. Everything expanded in size, larger and larger and larger... Year tears pilled up on the icy floor starting to pool around the two of you. "My only sin was being curious of that dammed mirror....then again curiosity often leads to trouble." The teardrops were knee-high at this point. Yet they never seemed to affect Grim. The salty water parted around him as if repulsed by his very being. Oh, but it loved you, adored you, clung and soaked you, trying to touch you, feel you, become one with you...much like the seven atrocious monsters waiting for you outside.
"I've been wondering why did you touch that mirror in the first place?" Had grim aways been purple? Had his striped always been as rich as the silk used in the Pomfiore uniforms? "I'm afraid.." You choked on your words, the clung to the inside of your throat cutting the pharyngeal muscles like mini razor blades and nesting there. "I can't explain myself, Grim, for you see I wasn't myself that day..." every word that jumped from your mouth hauled a thick gush of blood with itself. The red liquid almost always landed on your new gown -which of those beastes had picked it again?- it never lasted, always sinking through the layered fabric and dissolving into your bruised flesh.
"They will get angry if you stall any longer..." your only friend hopped onto your lap, slashing some of the supposed water around. Your arms dropped to your side, resting there for a fraction of a second before curing around his furry figure. You stood up, dishearteningly walking to the full one-way mirror on the far left. The instant your reflection grasped the glass surface a thunderous cracking noise swelled the room. The reflector was left in shreds, all you could see was your face and how dissolved it looked. "Oh, dear I do wish I hadn't cried so much." Plucking up a makeup brush who's thorns priced your fingers, digging in to find the crimson gold you had to offer. She dapped it into a makeup pallet that Grim was holding up, and swiftly swept it over her cheeks. He glossy eyes traveled up to stare at her reflection in the body, the moment your eyes landed on the (y/n) on the other side of the mirror, her breathing stopped, her heart sped up THAT WASN'T HER!
The person starring back had a batch of thick blond hair, her blue eyes looked dull broken even. Her chapped bleeding lips where moving trying to form words that never reached your ringing ears. Deep inside envy started to build up, whoever that girl caged behind the looking class was, she was much luckier then you would ever be. She didn't need to deal with the monster lurking right outside.
The door burst open, out of fear the room stopped turning, the furniture returned to their original side, Grim changed into his back into his grey fur and shuffled closer to you, holding tightly onto the pale blue skirt of your dress. "WHAT IS TAKING YOU SO LONG!" screamed the ever furious "queen of Heartslabyul". Riddle marched up to you, his heels furiously clicking on the black and white tiles. He grabbed your forearm pulling you to your unsteady feet. You waddled about to topple over if he hadn't started dragging you towards the dorm leaders' assembly hall. You spared a glance at the girl behind the mirror. Similarly, she was also being dragged by a boy who wore an ever-familiar heart crown on top of his head. The blond girl was mouthing something to you trying to relay an urgent message it seemed.
"in the night garden memories in the palace of dreams that is where you and I shall meet"
Your eyes widen, right was as the words left her mouth the mirror shattered. Shards flying around, barely missing you.
Riddle was quicky to drag you inside of the attached room, throwing you into an empty chair that had been wait more patiently then the dorm leaders. All eyes turned to you milking in your figure. All seemed ready to pounce and devour you on the spot. You shrunk into the leather of the chair hoping that by some mad miracle you would disappear.
Kalim was the first to speak his voice cheery and lustful. "Well (y/n) would you like an adventuer? Or should we wait until after we have some tea? Jamil just received a package from our homeland and instructed me to bring some of the tea to the meeting!" With Kalim, it was always hard to tell where his focus was. One moment he looked ready to strip you of your close and mark you as his, the next he was too busy rambling on and on about how his father always had servants pluck tea lives for their afternoon banquets.
"some times" Azul began fed up with Kalims stories "in six impossible things before breakfast..today however I would simply like to believe that we could finish this meeting before we all die of boredom and.." His silver eyes gazed at you, passion much too evident in them. "get on with other more pleasant tasks." Did they seriously all want you in that such a...lewd manner?
"I agree let's wrap this up" Idia murmured "I have something to get to". Leona turned his attention to the fiery-haired necromancer. "Stop worrying, your stupid video games won't run off anywhere. As for you..." Leona stalked closer fingers wrapping around your small hands, claw-like nails digging into your flesh. "I'm afraid you're driving me mad my little gazelle" His mouth was so close to your throat, fangs grazing your juggler. Behind you, Riddle held you in place trying yo keep you from squirming as he kissed your bare shoulders. "You were always entirely bonkers Kingscholar" Vil announced as he got up and made his way to you, placing a feather-light kiss on top of your right hand. "But don't they say all the best people are?" Azul asked as he followed Vil's lead, sizing your left hand and biting into your wrist, relishing in the feel of your pulse against his wet tongue. Kamli was the next to make a move, his fingers danced along your chest slipping under the top of your dress. Someone tangled there blazing hot fingers in your locks, his fiery breath dancing across your face as he licked the shell of your ear leaving a lava hot sensation in its wake.
From across the room, your eyes met the poisonous orbs of Malleus Draconia the only one to have not spoken for the entirety of the meeting. A knowing smirk spread across his pale face, for the first time all day you heard his monotone voice.
"poor Alice forever stuck in a twisted wonderland"

Countdown, 15 - Floyd Leech
“I’ll be gentle when I squeeze you, so come on over here.”
The words that came out of your mouth made Ace and Epel shocked. You weren't so fond of what you did. Vil always reminded everyone in the dorm what not to do, yet you did.
Never make a contract with anyone from Octavinelle.
Epel was in mid-bite of his food, and Ace spit out his drink. The three of you were having lunch together. You didn't know why, but that slipped out of your mouth. No one was speaking, and you wanted to spark up some conversation. You weren't expecting those words to come out.
You look down, feeling bad. Out of any bad things that you can do around the school, this was the worse. You never thought you would do this. It probably because of how you been feeling lately. Stress, no time, in a hurry.
"So, you made a deal with someone from Octavinelle student." Epel restated what you said.
You nod slightly. You didn't want to get into it. You were talking down about yourself until Ace speaks.
"Which student did you make the contract with?" You bite your lip and shake your head. Ace raises his eyebrow. "Azul?"
Keeping your mouth shut, Epel spoke. "Jade?" They both notice a slight shift in your body.
"Floyd." It wasn't a question. They both knew it was him.
You close your eyes and cover your face. You wished you didn't. You let a groan out as you lean back in your chair. Ace shakes his head, and Epel sighs.
"You need to tell Vil, Y/N," Epel spoke. You open your mouth about decline, but Ace then started.
"You can't get out of the contract. I heard other students who made a deal with them to know they will collect what they want." Ace shakes his head. "What did agree on the contract about?" Your face flushed. It was a stupid thing.
You look away from them. "I don't wanna talk about it." You spoke.
"Then how would we know how bad the payment will be." Ace tilts his head.
"Forget it." You stood up. Both Epel and Ace go to say something before you speak. "I have to meet someone for a project in the Library, so I have to go now."
You lied.
They probably know from the way you didn't look at them in their eyes. A sigh comes from them, and an 'okay' comes out. You grab what food was left, and you walked away. You needed to clear your mind.
The thought of the contract you made with Floyd kept coming in mind. You roll your eyes. You should have stopped, walked away even.
You let your mind wander as you let your feet lead the way. It wasn't until you noticed a presence near you. Someone was following you. Or was it watching you?
At that moment, you knew who it was. You stop in the middle of the hallway and take a deep breath. You always made sure to be around someone for the past two weeks. You spot Floyd from time to time, but he didn't do anything. He only gave you that look that he wanted to talk.
"I know you're there, Floyd."  There was silence there for a second before hearing boots echoing through your ears.
"Someone has been feeling guilty, I see."  
You turn around to meet face to face with Floyd. His hands were in his pockets and the smirk. You take another deep breath, and you look around the hall. You hope that no one followed. Especially, anyone from your dorm. It was as if Floyd was reading your mind as he spoke.
"No one was following. Only me." You lock eyes with Floyd. You might as well get this over.
"Alright." You close your eyes. You needed to calm down. Your heart was racing. "What's the price." You got straight to the point. A chuckle leaves from Floyd as he leans against the wall.
"My, my. The little beauty is ready to get this over with I see." Floyd's hand reaches for his hat and takes it off before reaching inside. "We need to look at the contract you sighed first."
He pulls out the contract. You didn't know how he had that in there, but you didn't question it. You shift in your spot, waiting for him to speak.
"Azul has been asking for your payment for a while now. We would have had to force you if you didn't comply today.
"Let's get on with it." You started to get annoyed, but Floyd holds up a finger.
"Now, two weeks ago, you were aggravated about not passing your history test. I offered you this contract that you will do well on the test. Is that right, princess?" He tilts his head towards you, and your face starts to turn red.
"Y-Yes." You turn your head away from him, not wanting to hear this.
A hum comes from him. Floyd pushes himself from the wall and turns his whole body towards you. You watch him out of the corner of your eye as you wait for the payment.
Floyd places his hat back on his head and fixes his gloves, eyeing you. The silence was tense. You were afraid of what he was going to say. It was odd, though. You spoke to other students who have made contact with them, and they told them what they owe. Floyd didn't say anything to you when you made the contract. He let you sign, and he left.
"A small action, an equal price," Floyd spoke. "Now, come here." He opens his hands out. You were confused.
You give him a confused look, not knowing what he wanted. He smirks again.
"What's the price?" You ask again. You were slightly scared. The next words that come from his mouth made you widen your eyes.
"A little hug from my little princess." You drop your bag to the floor. You didn't know how you felt. Angry? Relieved?
"You wanted only a hug?" You shout.
"Of course."  
"You made me freak out over the price of this contact for only a damn hug!" Floyd laughs.
"Me? No. That was all you." He crosses his arms across his chest, looking at the amusing expression you had.
You open your mouth and closed it. Floyd was right. It was all in your head. Now, you feel embarrassed. You close your eyes and rubbed your forehead, trying to comprehend the situation. Floyd spoke once again, not waiting for you to figure this all out.
“I’ll be gentle when I squeeze you, so come on over here.” Those words made you blush. You huffed before you know you had to hug him.
You slowly walked over, preparing yourself. You never mind a hug, but the way Floyd was smiling at you made you not want to hug him.
He opens his arms for you. You didn't think as you went into them and wrapped your arms around his body.
Your face flushed. It's a good thing Floyd was taller than you so you were able to hide your face.
You feel the vibration from his laughter only to make you mumble into his chest. "Shut up."
"See, I told you, I would be gentle." Floyd squeezes you gently.
You take another deep breath, finally relaxing. "Shut up, Floyd."

Chapter Five: The Sign
[Check my profile for previous chapters or visit www.adevinecomedy.com]
We went without any word at all for six months. Summer became winter for many people, but since we lived in LA, very little changed, except I needed a light coat at night. Los Angeles is the land of perpetual summer.
Mari found a boyfriend who came sniffing around a lot. His name was Andrew, and I remember liking him. He bought groceries and cleaned up our apartment. Azul the cat found him to be particularly useful for getting extra meals between feedings.
My “job” was going well, and I had gotten a raise. I remember we were all becoming brands in those days. I was a brand; Mari was a brand; Andrew was a brand; even Azul was a brand. It was the time of brand-building, and I was no slouch. A lot of those brands took off under my guidance, and I was able to recoup any money I had lost in the false ashram.
We were doing ‘well,’ or at least it would have appeared so to any outside observers. Really, it was a shadow of a life, like a dream where you go to work and come home, and nothing good happens and nothing bad. It wasn’t meaningful and it wasn’t real.
I was so bored with the whole thing that I was about to run away to Mexico to buy a roadside fruit stand when I heard an ad on the radio.
“Do you need a sign?” a voice asked.
“Yes, yes, I do. I pleaded.” I was just driving back from hot yoga class, and so was still a bit rank and sweaty when the voice spoke.
I moved my arm to turn the radio up when the car behind me started honking. “Move it, lady!” the driver screamed.
“Can you wait a minute?”
“The light’s green!”
“Up your’s guy! I’m fucking talking to God here!” I gave him the middle finger, and he peeled off and drove around me. “Jackass. I fucking hate people sometimes.”
By the time the commotion was all over, the voice was gone. I rushed home to Mari, stopping at no more lights, neither green nor red.
“Mari!” I shouted as I came through the door.
She was on the loveseat with Andrew.
“Mari, the sign is coming soon!”
She turned to her new beau. “You should go. Sage and I have to discuss some very important things.”
“Ok,” he said. “I’ll call you in the morning.” He grabbed his coat and walked out the door.
“You got a message from Swami Kurt?” she asked.
“No, but I got a message from the universe, and it said that the sign would be coming at some point.”
“When?”
“At some point.”
“Yea, that’s what Swami Kurt said too. Did the universe give a time frame? Like this week maybe?”
“No, just kind of reiterated what we knew. You know, to keep an eye out.”
“Hmmmm,” she said. “I think I got that sign today.”
I gasped. “I knew it!”
She reached for her phone. “Yes, it was an email for this yoga retreat at the foot of Mount Everest, very exclusive.”
“Really?”
She showed me pictures of a luxury Zen resort.
“Ok,” I said. “You think that’s where he’s going to be?”
“Yes, it has four saunas, very reasonable prices.”
Actually, the resort was pricey, but money isn’t real, so I didn’t argue with her about the affordability of the retreat.
I thought hard about her point. “He’s going to be a baby though,” I finally said.
“A what?”
“Like a baby. The baby would go to the resort? Isn’t a sauna is like a hot car? Aren’t you not supposed to put babies in hot cars? I guess I just don’t see it.”
“What if he’s mature for his age? He could be in a DJ’s entourage already. I think we should check it out.”
“I don’t know.”
“It really spoke to me.”
“I just don’t know if Swami Kurt would want to be reborn around a bunch of rich people again. Two lives back-to-back as a well-to-do playboy—what’s he going to learn?”
“You know all the best gurus start as well-to-do playboys.”
“True, but it doesn’t feel right.”
The doorbell to our apartment rang, and Mari went to answer it.
Sophia, our neighbor, a blonde college-aged girl in a blue t-shirt with white lettering stood on the other side. She thrust a paper into Mari’s hand.
“Hi, neighbor. Today, I’m representing ‘Help the Children,’ a charity which supports impoverished children in Africa. Would you be interested in sponsoring Joseph, a young boy from—“
Mari abruptly cut her off. “I’m sorry. We believe in Karmic Law. If Joseph is poor, it’s his own fault.” With that, she closed the door on the girl’s face, and threw the paper into the trash. “Bunch of damn beggars, like watch a documentary on Kabbalah, bitch. Get your head right. Who even lets them in the building?”
“She’s lived next door for at least six months now.”
“Yea, anyway, I think our guru is at this luxury resort, and I think he’s got a lot more to teach us about humanity.”
“Wait a minute,” I said. I rushed to the trash and took out the paper that misguided Sophia had forced on Mari. “It says Joseph comes from a big family. He’s got four younger brothers and sisters, and look, his mother is pregnant again. She’s due in a few weeks!”
“I can only imagine the bad karma all those kids built up to be born into such poverty. They don’t need money; they need to meditate. They must have been so selfish in their past lives!”
“No, Mari. She’s pregnant with Swami Kurt. This is the sign!”
Mari took the pamphlet and opened it up to the section about James’ village. “This place is really gross,” she said. “It’s like all dry and they don’t even have a hospital. Their well is all crappy and broken. I mean, look at this shitty school house. It’s made of cow poop!”
“We have to go there!”
“Yea?”
“Yes, this is the sign! It came right to the door. And so what if the whole place is made of cow poop? Mushrooms grow on cow poop! That’s why the cow is holy.”
“So it’s like a village of psilocybin mushrooms?”
“Maybe.”
“Can we leave tomorrow?”
“Oh no. I forgot about Andrew,” I said.
“Me too,” Mari answered. “It’s fine. I’ll break up with him.”
“You don’t have to do that. He’s such a sweetheart.”
“No, I was going to anyway.”
“Why?”
“He’s weird. Did you see him dance at the club the other night?”
I started laughing. I had seen him, and he was doing a strange little drunken shoulder shimmy thing. He looked like someone had put him in a straightjacket, and he was struggling to find a way out.
“Like this.” Mari started mimicking it. “What was this?”
I was laughing so hard that she nearly had me in tears. “Eww, I can’t believe you fucked him!”
Mari kept mocking his dance. “I’m coming to get you, Sage.”
We both cackled hysterically.
“Are you going to call him now?” I asked.
“No, I’ll just block his number. He’ll figure it out eventually.”
“No, we need him to watch Azul while we’re away.”
“Right! I won’t break up with him until we get back.”
