||Horror Book Chapter 3: How to Be Evil: Scared Straight Beyond Prank Part 1

Hi everyone! This is deamon-mun and this is horror book chapter. A series started by no other than the amazing @the-silver-peahen-residence who has a knack for horror.

Now for the characters!

---------

The cast of Jujutsu Kaisen ( muses from @the-silver-peahen-residence ) - Yuji itadori, Ryomen Sukuna, Megumi Fushigoro, Nobara Kugisaki and Gojo Saturo.

My OCs: Taz Hellion, Kinie Ger and Daichi PheoniX

----- Summary -----

During class, the first-years recivced a mission from Gojo Saturo. A bunch of curse users who are using their cursed techniques to prank innocent people for the sake of fame and notirertiy. This angers the sorcerers due to incidents that harms people. To combat this mission, Taz had an idea. A horrifying idea that surprises everyone. 

What would be the idea?!

-----

--------- Tokyo Jujutsu High -----

Just a normal day in Jujutsu High.

Classes are going well. With the addition of Daichi Pheonix in the class, the class just got a little bigger. So far, Taz and Daichi are doing well in their studies. 

“Hello class! Tonight...you four have a mission.” Daichi PheoniX is not ready to take on his mission despite his self-taught experience which most of it is misguided. He is getting there thought. But Dacihi is present for the mission briefing. He keeps on writing his notes.

“Now this is going to be challenge because you’re not dealing with cursed spirits this time.” Gojo informs the four. This got the class blinking.

“Whaddya mean, sensei?” Yuji asked curiously.

“Better be not running errands and getting the cake you wanted.” Nobara frowns. 

“Hm...” Megumi said in agreement.

“I don’t mind! I love getting cakes for sensei.” Taz smiled.

“Taz. Don’t let Gojo-sensei take advantage of you. Don’t enable him and his sweet tooth!” Nobara whined which got a chuckle of Gojo. “I wish my little Taz but no. You’re going to deal with some curse users.” Gojo informs them. 

“Curse users?” Megumi furrowed his brows. This got the three a bit serious now. Taz can see the expression on big brother, Yuji’s face alright. 

“Curse users?” Daichi questioned.

“Yes, they are opposite of Jujutsu Socerers, little Kisho.” Gojo saying his real name making Daichi huff a little in annoyance. “Curse users are people who use cursed techinque for bad things. Harming others and doing malicious things.”

“So bad guys...who aren’t cursed spirits but people who have cursed energy to do bad stuff.” Daichi summarized. 

“Exactly!” Gojo nodded.

“Oh.” Taz said. Like that guy from the haunting mummy corpse incident in Tokyo.

“But this is a little different.” Gojo said.

“How is it any different.” Megumi asked. So far, they got some missions that were normal but with curse users. Humans with cursed energy who uses cursed sorercy to commit crimes and other bad things. The process of dealing with them is defeating them and leave to the high-rank sorcerers above. Sometimes...it’s either locking them up or execution.

“You will see.” Gojo had the projector ready and went to Youtube. This got the five confused. Gojo copy and paste a link. The video shows three boys who are giggling and are doing something. One of them had a cage which is the sound of growling. They were on the streets of Shinjuku. The ringleader is trying to gather a crowd to witness something amazing. A amazing pet. They opened the cage which got the five gasped. It’s ugly and it is screeching little. It looks like a dog with a long snout in a size of chibhube with lizard legs. 

A cursed spirit.

----- Video ------

“Huh? There’s nothing there!” One bystander asked. 

“Yeah. What are you trying to pull?!” Said another.

The ringleader chuckles and gives a nod to one of his accomplices. A few people gathered just to pass time. Some lingering around as they are hanging out. The accomplice with the dark brown hair smirks and snaps his fingers and then...the cursed spirit charges. Disappearing into the crowd. 

“Just keeping watching, people! Just keep your mind open!” The ringleader chuckled. Then gasps and screams are heard from the crowd making ringleader grin wider. “MY LEG!” She screams in terror. The camera pans in the woman’s ankle has bite mark on it.

“What the hell?!” One of the bystander screams, backing away from the woman. The screams got some people’s attention.

“Careful! Careful! Everyone! It’s on the loose. The invisible pet is on the loose!” The ringleader tells. “Don’t panic! It will sense your fear!” The ringleader said, trying to calm the crowd down. 

Then another shriek. “Something bit my hand!” A salaryman shows a bite mark on his hand to the crowd making non-sorcerers dumbfounded. Those bite marks are too real to be fake. 

“Ah! I got bit!” 

“I can’t see it! Where is it?” One man looks around as he also got bit. This got the cameraman cracking up. 

“Ow! My leg! Oh god!” Cried a highschooler. “Something bit me!” She cried as she bursts into tears.

“What the hell. This gotta be fake!” Said one skeptic. 

“This ain’t fake. Something did bit me!”  Said the salaryman. 

“You must be an actor!” Said the skeptic.

“AM NOT!” Salaryman said angrily. 

“Someone help! My hand is bleeding!” Said a highschooler as her friends are looking at her wound. One of her friends pointed at the trio. “What the hell?! Who are you guys!”

“Yeah! This ain’t funny.” Said an older man. “I got bit too.” 

“Huh?! Whaddya mean! It’s just a prank, bro!!” The ringleader laughs. The video cuts short.

------ Video Ends ------

“What the hell is this?” Megumi said, now ticked off. Even Yuji and Nobara didn’t like this as they saw the entire video. Taz looks very concerned while Daichi had a good idea on what this is but he needs more confirmation. 

Gojo sighs. “This is one of these cases where curse users uses their sorcery to gain notoriety while relying on the ignorance of non-sorcerer’s populace. Unlike the ghost hunters, these guys are the real deal as they can see the cursed spirit and use their sorcery to benefit themselves.”

“Is there any more videos of these guys doing this, sensei?” Yuji asked. Gojo nods, he shows the same videos of the two people. The video is Finding the Lost Wallet goes Wrong. 

------ Finding The Lost Wallet Goes Wrong Video ----

The ringleader snickers while one of his accomplies. The one with the brown hair tells a girl that he lost his wallet, using his charm on the girl. The girl nods and helps. They look around the park which seems to be Uneo park. She is near the pond and suddenly. The ringleader does something. A black mist grabs hold of the girls’ legs and with a lift followed then a huge splash! The girl has falls to the pond.

“Oh my god! Are you okay?!” Said one of the accomplices, going to help the girl but she slipped and fell into the pond once more. 

The girl coughs. “W-what hapepend?! Something got my legs!” The girl looks scared.

“Must be the spirit of Ueno Park!” The 20-something man lied. The girl looks startled. 

The scene cuts to a man who also experience the same thing.  Then another persona and another. 

-----

The three delinquents were laughing their asses off which are getting the students pretty upset.

“Those jerks...” Nobara said as Taz nods in agreement. 

“Oh there is another one! This one is a bit famous and got our attention.” Gojo said.

“What could be possibly worse than this?!” Nobara asked. Gojo go to the third final video. Stay Inside the Dark Box Challenge. The ringleader offers any passerby 50,000 yen if they stay inside the box for five minutes. 

The five students are now wondering what this antic entails....and they are not looking forward to this. At the same time, Kinie and Sukuna are watching from their inante domains. 

---- Dark Box Challenge Video  -----

“Hey there! Want to win 50,000 yen if you stay inside that big box there for 10 minutes?” He asked one man who looks a bit down on his luck. His eyes lit up at the challenge in getting some free money.

“Sure!” 

The box in question is big and is size of casket on the large size. There were holes so the other can breath safely but it is oscboruce by black drape but it doesn’t affect the holes in anyway. The accomplice escorts the man into the box and closes it. 

“Alright! Go!” The ringleader presses the timer. 

One minutes passes. Nothing.

Two mintues and soon....the man begins to speak. “Hey...something is crawling on my leg.”

“Just the wind!” The ringleader quickly said while the camerman is snickering. 

Three mintues passed.

“Uh! Something is in here with me!” The man’s voice is getting scared and before the five minute is up. The man screams, “LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!” The accomplice opens the door and the man bolts out of the box and yelling in fright.

“Oh well!” The ringleader shrugs. “Who would be next.”

Then they seek other contenders. From man, woman, to highschoolers and middle schools to the eldery. All of them scream in fright within three minutes and want to be let out before the five minute mark.

The last one is a high school boy crying as there are tears in his eyes. The trio are laughing their asses off once more and inside a box is something move. It had long hands and it is upside down. A cursed spirit.

“You just got pranked!” The ringleader laughs while the two boys are laughing with them. 

-------

This put a nail in these guys’ coffin.

“These....” Megumi begins as he glares at the three boys. Are you kidding me?! They’re using cursed spirits to do these things?! Have they lost their mind?! And using sorcery to do these damn things?! 

“The hell!” Yuji yelled angrily. Did they use a cursed spirit against people like that. Yuji can’t let that slide. Ever.  

“What the hell?! Did they use a cursed spirit for this challenge!” Nobara shouted. All those poor people are going to traumatized because of these damn jerks. 

“That’s so wrong....” Taz said. 

“Ugh...you gotta be kidding me....these assholes....” Daichi said angrily which got the four turned to the rookie. They never heard Daichi being this angry. “Uh! Sorry! I mean...uh...I think I know what they’re doing...” Daichi sighed.

“You do?” Megumi aksed with a raised brow.

“Yeah....they’re doing pranks...” Daichi sighed.

“PRANKS?!” The three shouted in disbelief.

“How are these pranks?!” Nobara pointed at the video. 

“Yeah! Someone got hurt badly from the first one and second!” Yuji said angrily. 

Daichi rubs his neck, “Because it isn’t, these guys don’t know how to do good pranks that doesn’t involve hurting someone. They doing this to get views and do this under the pretense of pranking people as an excuse. That’s why they said, it’s just a prank. They’re using their sorcery to get what they wanted.”

“That is exactly right, Daichi.” Gojo nods. “These curse users are using sorcery and controlling these cursed spirits to get more famous. Of course nobody knows how they did it and there were complaints against them. But police hasn’t found any evidence of wrong-doing because they lack cursed energy which means they get away a lot.” Gojo hums. “So you four are going to figure out on how to find them and stop them.”

“I think we can put an a stop to them.” Megumi begins. 

“Yeah let’s beat them up!” Yuji said.

“Make them wish they ever been born!” Nobara yelled. All three are ready to dish out some punishment on these so-called curse user pranksters. But then Taz has an idea. A horrifying idea. 

“Or we can scare them beyond straight with our own prank..” Taz begins. These got the four students turn to them. They look at Taz.  

“Did Kinie give you an idea?” Nobara asked to which Taz shakes her head. “No...these people are not going to learn if we fight them. They’re going to run away from us and try to make fun of us. So we need to prank them to the point where they don’t do anymore pranks anymore.” She begins.

“So what are you thinking, lil sis?” Yuji said. 

“We gotta scare them so bad that they think they’re dying. We gotta put fear into them! Scared Beyond Straight!” Taz begins with determination. 

“EH?!” The four stared at Taz in disbelief even Sukuna is surprised to hear from the pup. Kinie is surprised to hear this too and she didn’t say anything or suggest this idea! So the cursed spirits are interested in hearing what Taz has to say. Gojo is now intriguted by Taz’s words. “And how are you going to do it, Taz?” Gojo asked. 

“Shdwkyz said that if you want to teach people like that a lesson. A good lesson so they can remember in their very soul. You have to terrorize them to the point where they give up and to the point of tears and making sure they accept defeat.” Taz said.

That’s pretty dark.... The students and the teacher thought. Kinie never thought about that and she agree that’s dark too. Even Sukuna never thought the pup had such a mindset to a problem like this. 

“So to do that...you have to trap them in a place that’s away from the city or somewhere deep in the city like a house. Where they can’t get away and have no place to go.” Taz begins. “Then you have to set up places where you make them think they reach the exit but every time they reach it. It’s gone. You have to make them abandon hope and make them fight for their lives before you put fear in their hearts and thwart all their efforts. You have to make them lose their minds so they can accept defeat. Make them despair..” Taz said seriously in her emotionless voice. She is saying word for word that Shdwkyz taught her. 

“Sis...” Yuji begins while Sukuna is thinking. Wow. 

“Er...” Daichi blinked.

“Huh...” Megumi said.

“Um..”  Nobara said. Now all the students are thinking. 

What in the HELL did Shdwkyz teach her?! 

“Wow. That sounds like a brilliant idea!” Gojo said with a smile much to his students’ disbelief, liking where Taz is going with this. “Now the question is how we’re going to lure them?”

“Uh! Well..” Taz blinks, “I don’t know...maybe we send them a message or...I haven’t thought about it.” And Taz is back with her innocent self as she is thinking about it. 

“How about I join in?” Daichi asked with his hand raised. “I’m not going to join in for the sake of fighting but I can use my status to get them to come as a collab. We can lure them that way.” Daichi suggested. 

“Nice thinking, Daichi!” Gojo applauded. Yuji, Megumi and Nobara nodding in agreement. 

“And we are going to use our cursed techiques to scare them straight!” Taz exclaimed. 

“YEAH!” Nobara, Daichi and Yuji are now excited and riled up while Megumi nods, he doesn’t show it but he likes this plan, alright. Someone needs to teach these curse users a lesson. 

“With Yuji, he can make things shake and scare them with his super strenght by breaking down the walls.” Taz said. Yuji nods. “I like that, sis!”

“Megumi can use his shikigami to chase them.” Taz smiles. Megumi said. “Yeah..I think my shikigami are enough.” 

 “Nobara can trap them and hit them with nails after Daichi leads them to the trap!” Taz said. Nobara chuckles evilly. “Yeah....I can’t wait to show them mine.” While Daichi is nodding, now feeling pumped.

“Pup. What about me?” A voice is heard. It’s on Yuji’s cheek. It’s Sukuna who is now liking this plan. “I can help the brat here. Just this once.” He said, referring to his vessel. 

“Wait...really?!” Yuji said, blinking as he is surprised to hear this. 

“Why the hell not? Those punks are treating Jujutsu sorcery as a some kind of joke so we need to teach them how terrifying it can be.” Sukuna chuckles evilly. The students are hesitated but knowing Sukuna, he knows how to put fear into people. So having him can work. 

“Sure! Mister Sukuna! Knowing you, you know how to do scary best!” Taz said. Sukuna grins on his mouth. “Perfect! Alright brats! I going to teach you five how to be EVIL for this night! Because we’re going to teach these punks what real Jujutsu Sorcery is about.”

“I shall join in this hunt as well!” Kinie pops up from Taz’s head in quoll form. “With my hunting expertise, I make this experience enjoyable.”

And thus....the mission begins with Gojo’s encouragement. Oh dear lord...god save these curse users’s souls. They’re going to learn tonight from these seven. 

To be continued....

||Drabble Summary||

Ink and her friends have been recovering after the horrible events with Sukuna and his games. However, it seems this next game is a little more disturbing when he wanted to see the demon youths do some training when playing with them one day. But he wasn't the one to fight them this time. He has brought in some extra help but disturbing familiar faces in fact. Now who could this be? Read to find out.

||Warning||

~Will have dark moments in this drabble

~Blood and heavy wounds will be seen in this along with gore too

~Scary themes will be also seen as well

~Triggering moments will be present

~Dark themed is will be spoken of in this drabble

~~Guests in the drabble~~

Van Ink along with her fraction and others with their darker selves belong to my friend @demon-blood-youths this was a idea inspired from her pure menace au

Sukuna ryomen (Demon au) belongs to me but comes from the anime jujutsu kaisen. Same with some of the other fractions belong to me as well.

((Note: Their will be grammar mistakes and errors in this drabble. It was written for fun so please understand. Thanks for that and hope you like. This will be dark themed so please don't read if it's uncomfortable for you.))

Ink wasn't sure how she should feel about this right now. Angry, worried, upset. Their was too much going on right now even when she saw some of her friends in hiding or in their own hiding spots with someone. Right now, she was panting with Jinx by her side but she had blood from her head down her face and Jinx was having blood dripping from her side, a scorched black burn on her.

Seems the fractions were in another game again. But with a twist.

~~~~~~

"Alright Sukuna what is it now? Why have you called us again?" Ink was standing in front of him while her fraction the DBT and the other fractions in New York even the ones from Philly and new Jersey were here nervous.

Sukuna was smiling at Ink but he chuckled to think. "What? I can't ask for another game. I'm still having way too much fun so I want another one."

"Another one? Ughhhh w..well what is this one now? Another fighting game as the other one you had us do? Can't you-"

"No I'm not leaving your friends out of this. I love playing with them too so stop being a baby about it." he sneered to smirk but Ink got angry as Sukuna chuckled.

"But to answer you, yes I wanna play another game.....but with a twist.." he said but Ink got confused.

"A twist? What's the twist.." she said not liking this already. Sukuna smiled but snaps his fingers showing some darker forms near by but he looks to Ink. They almost seem familiar though as Ink got this bad feeling.

"..Uhhh who are they?" she asked with Jinx unsure herself with the leaders seeing this.

"Ohhhhh I think you know them and their friends Inky...you don't recognize them?" he said as Ink looks to one but she didn't get it. Who the heck was this person. However, Sukuna smiled to let some light shine near but it was some sort of shadow that disappeared showing who. Right there, Ink's eyes widen seeing one that was familiar. The other fractions tense seeing the same but it couldn't be right?!

A familiar face with the same look but a familiar long dragon sword as well. Yeah, Ink knew who she was alright. "..N...No way..Sukuna you didn't!"

"Hahahahaha..I did. I wanted to make it more fun soooooo..I found some new friends and they are eager to have some fun with you all.." he sneered showing the others but many got nervous. It was their darker selves! Sukuna must have found that dark world and brought their darker selves here!

Dark Ink only smiled while holding her own version of Wyvern but her own teammates were ready to play. The good selves were nervous about this while the other fractions were nervous too. This was not going to be good.

"Have you lost your mind!?" she said but Sukuna laughed to smile.

"No but I'm sure you guys will love this new game....but lets not stall.....with new friends here to play...." He chuckled darkly to the good selves. "Let the games begin...."

~~~~~~~~~

"Damn it....were still pinned here and we don't know where those two went." Ink mutters but Jinx looks to try seeing anything but she did hear the explosions and shouting from the other fractions even her own. She was worried about her cursed sisters but she winces ignoring the painful burn on her side.

"I don't know either but staying here won't do us good. We gotta keep moving and see if the others are alright. We got separated from our fractions and their fighting their own darker selves..." Jinx said but Ink looks to Jinx knowing she still was trying to recover from dark Jinx's fire. It seriously did some damage to her.

"But your not able to move yet. We need to think of something before we-"

"I know but you know those two don't wanna wait." Jinx said but she saw Ink look at her as the two were getting ready to move. However, as they did Jinx senses something but quickly looks. "MOVE!" she quickly grabs Ink's arm to pull her away from their hiding spot seeing it explode up in black and blue flames mixed together. Both Jinx and Ink fall to the ground wincing but heard two laughter.

"Hahahahaha!! Found you!" Dark Ink giggled swinging her Wyvern to them as Ink dodges on the right and Jinx dodges on the left. That's when the two got ready to fight dark ink only to see someone land but almost crashes Jinx into the ground. She saw her own darker self who had flames burning in a dangerous way grinning.

"Finally...we found you two bitches. Lets have some more fun getting ready to burn you to ashes!" Dark Jinx laughed as the two dashes to them and begins to fight. Ink and Jinx had dodged and fighting off their own darker self. The two leaders heard more shouting and attacks going off but Ink had to get away from her darker self with Jinx as the two keep fighting.

Ink and Jinx got kicked back hard together but crashes in the ground coughing. They were hurt but they ignored it knowing their demon blood will heal but theirs were not as fast as the darker selves who only giggled trying to kill their good selves.

"You know you really need to cut loose! Why not join the more darker path and let it all out! Being evil is fun!" Jinx laughed kicking Jinx back harder but she punches her dark self away as she twitched only to grin kicking her even harder away to crash into the wall.

"Jinx!" Ink shouted but deflects a attack from her darker self.

"HEY! STAY FOCUSED ON ME! WERE STILL HAVING A BATTLE HERE!" she laughed fighting and swinging Wyvern to cut Ink up a little but she was laughing still trying. "Besides, the others are having fun so why not you both too!" she smiled.

"How is trying to kill us fun! Your hurting our friends!" she shouted at her darker self but dark Ink sighed to look at her.

"Oh come on, what's the fun in worrying all the damn time? Don't you wanna at least let yourself go? Going crazy and shit? It's fun.....being able to take what we want and kill who gets in our way! It's better that way!" she said thrusting her sword at the good Ink who parries and jumps back.

"How is hurting others fun!? That's sick and wrong!" she said now swinging her blade back when Dark Ink blocks with a powerful gust of wind shows from the power of these two. They could hear Jinx and dark Jinx fighting but black flames were shooting out everywhere.

"Besides, at least Sukuna knows how to have fun. You should learn a thing or two from him without being so upset about it." Dark ink teased only for the real one to glare as they keep on fighting. She had to check on her fraction to see if they were alright. She had to be sure the others were okay.

As Jinx was fighting her own darker self, she got kicked in the face showing her nose broken for the dark Jinx to land and runs to her on all fours. She laughed insane like to swipe at her that Jinx winces feeling her claws cut into her that blood spills from her.

"Jinx!!" Ink saw that but she swings to get dark Ink away to help her. However, she got attacked to send flying through a wall with Jinx getting hit as well. Both leaders crashes to the other side but they winced to hear shouting and more explosions. The two look seeing Navarro and Echo throwing bombs at their darker selves.

"HEY STAY STILL YOU ASSHOLES! WE JUST WANNA SHOVE THESE BOMBS UP YOUR ASSES!" Dark Navarro laughed launching another bomb but dark Echo laughed to show sparking unstable bombs to throw at the two as Navarro and Echo winces shielding their eyes from the explosion before they got sent back to crash to the ground.

"Navarro! Echo!" Jinx and Ink looks to see their bombers look to them but that's when Dark Echo throws another bomb but that's when it explodes to both Navarro and Echo ducking with another explosion going off.

"Ink! You and Jinx need to run! Get out of this area now!" Navarro shouted to help Echo up before seeing their own darker selves laughing now trying to trap the bombers before Navarro helps Echo up.

"But Navarro-"

"JUST RUN!" he shouted running with Echo away but the other two chases them. Jinx and Ink got worried but hearing more fighting going around. Even hearing familiar shouting.

"DAMN YOU BITCH!!" Kali was shouting fighting her own darker self but she smirked deflecting her attack seeing Rex fighting off his own darker self.

"What's wrong?! Scared I'll skin your sorry ass alive! Why not stay still and let me smite you where you stand!" dark Kali laughed but swings to slash Kali's back. She hisses in pain but anger to punch the darker version away from her. Now she was bleeding from her back but saw Rex jump back holding his blade glaring at his darker self.

"Seems even now it's so much fun to play around..isn't it? Seems thanks to Sukuna, we could get some revenge on you assholes from before." dark Rex smiled but he gets near his dark Kali as the two kept fighting.

Ink and Jinx would help them but ran to try keeping their own darker selves away but during all this, Sukuna was enjoying this. Seeing the demons fighting their darker selves was fun. Some was fighting, others trying to keep a distance, or some protecting each other. It was crazy even seeing green and dark black vine plants around from Ashley and dark Ashley who was fighting. She was trying to strangle her good self who was keeping herself safe. But she was worried about Joshua who was fighting his darker self.

He panted from being hurt but Joshua didn't stop. He had to fight to keep himself safe and help Ashley too. He just hopes their fractions were safe. Even through this chaos, it was a war zone for everyone.

That's when Sukuna felt shaking to see darker Melinda fighting her good self again but she was in a struggle with her good self who was wincing.

"What's wrong? Can't stand your ground? and here I thought you gotten better. Why not be a good girl and stand down!" she shouted to push her back but Melinda did the same back even if she was bleeding from her nose.

"I'm not going to! I won't!" she said and yet dark Melinda smiled.

"Ohhh I see. Well, I'm sure your goody boyfriend won't mind me breaking you then!" she said to shove her back to even breaking her arm. Melinda shouts in pain but felt the darker Melinda trying to stab her now. She even saw dark Jaron attacking his good self even if he was trying to get to Melinda to help her and yet he had to keep his own dark self at bay. Everyone was fighting their own dark self but it just lead to more things being destroyed or some being hurt.

Even Shdwkyz and Vivi fights together against their own darker selves. Dark vivi already got some good hits in with her good self and dark Shdwkyz did the same trying to slash his own good self to get rid of his soul or to say corrupt it. They wouldn't stop till they got rid of their good selves. It was fun being able to do such a thing.

"Hold still. We just wanna cut you both and torture your souls forever!" dark vivi said swinging her scythe but vivi deflects it.

"She's right. Just stop fighting already!" Dark shdwkyz said but he did get a few stabs on Shdwkyz but both Sai and Isabella were panting bleeding from heavy wounds their dark selves given. They couldn't stop because just one slip up and they could end up dead.

This kept going for a while till Sukuna smiled seeing the darker selves get stronger that most was starting to struggle. This was not possible. It was like Sukuna was giving their darker selves a little help even if they didn't need it. They just attacked more brutally on the good selves that Ink and Jinx saw that most of their teams were badly hurt or bleeding. Some was trying to fight but got taken down that Sukuna laughed at the sight. How lovely. Such a fight and yet it was too much fun.

in a bit, Sukuna saw the fighting starting to ease down and get quiet but Jinx and Ink noticed too. That was not good to quickly to and try to find the others but they were no where to be seen. Did the darker selves do something!?

"Shit...where is....."

"I don't know....that is not good."

"It isn't..but no worries, you'll be joining them.." said a voice but as Ink and Jinx turn, they got hit hard behind the head wincing in pain to fall to the ground. Jinx and Ink got knocked out but looks to their darker selves over them as they smile. Then they blacked out.

~~~~~~~~~~

Ink snaps awake hours later but she hisses in pain to hold her side. Everything hurt but she held her head to see bandages. Oh great not again. She looks around seeing she was alone again but Sukuna was near by to make her move back that he grabs her chin to smirk.

"Ah ah ah...don't run. You wouldn't want me to do something to your friend do you?" he said but saw Jinx held down as she was wincing in pain. He was hurting her that Ink glares at him but he smiled tightening his hold. Jinx begins chocking that Ink quickly relaxed to stop being mad.

"...Good girl. Now, I wanted to ask say something. What did you think of my gift? I figured the game was more fun that way right? Seeing your other selves here. Fun right?" he chuckled.

"......."

"No? Well, I figured you would be angry about that but I don't care. I did get to see some blood shed and it was fun. Even when hearing the cries of your friends. So nice." he chuckled.

"Tch..you..you fucking-"

"I know..but it was fun for me. I would have joined but..I let your darker selves have all the fun. They liked it too after having their way with their good selves. Some really went loose even from the screaming and torturing they did." Hearing this made Ink worry. What did they do to her friends!? She was starting to get mad again but he chuckled.

"Awwww did I upset you? I was just having fun..." he said pulling Ink close ready to claw at her skin. "You know how I am even when it comes to having fun Inky." he teased about to speak till he felt some movement....

"L...Leave...Ink alone you f..fucking bastard.." a weak Jinx growls at Sukuna as he looks to her but only sneered to lift Jinx up as she winced.

"Jinx!"

"Watch your tongue hell cat..your lucky I won't snap that neck of yours.." he said but Jinx glared back even if she was in pain.

"I don't c..care..I won't let you h..hurt my friend........." she said.

"...Jinx.."

"Awwwwww a sister protecting her demon sister..how precious." he laughed but slams Jinx to the ground as she crashes into the dresser in more pain.

"Jinx!" Ink shouted in Sukuna's grip but glares at him. "Leave her alone! I get it already so stop it!"

"She started it! I should skin her alive in front of you for her tone..but she is just like you..a smart mouth...." he smiled but reaches to grab her and sits her near Ink. "But a danger as well..you both are just as dangerous just like birth sisters. Together forever.." he chuckled that ink was helping Jinx who was coughing.

"Though, I believe I already made my point now I wanna play since I'm bored..but you both will do just fine." he said but Jinx quickly glares at him to keep Ink behind her. Ink was shocked but she saw Jinx keeping her stand.

"Oh?"

"You fuck off. I won't let you lay a hand on my sister again! Just fuck off!" she hissed and yet, Ink was looking at her not wanting Sukuna to hurt her and yet, his red eyes glowed to smile. She didn't like that smile on his face.

"You wanna fight little kitten? Well, I don't mind new players....." he said.

"NO! Leave Jinx out of this! You can have me play in your fucked up games but leave her out of this!" Ink said.

"What!? But Ink-"

"Oh no no no..not this time Inky." he saw the two look at him but their eyes widen seeing his real form now that Jinx and Ink shook where they sat. "I want to have fun with you both...so you'll be fine. I already had that with your friends....so now...you both will have to do." he chuckled that he slams the two to the wall holding their necks as their eyes looks to see him shadowing over them.

"Now then...lets have some fun.." he chuckled to laughter within that room.

Later on, both healers goes to check on their leaders quickly in worry but Opheila and Hex were stunned in shock seeing the condition of Jinx and Ink. The others didn't see but maybe it was best not to. Trying not to cry, Ophelia had help with Hex to heal them even if she was shaking with tears with the leaders badly hurt. Ink and Jinx didn't move just knocked out while being healed but it seems Sukuna was happy.....

For now.

Watching anything, not just a movie, but a tv show, an anime, a short, a music video, literally anything, is an experience.

Each one unique and requiring at least a whole five minutes of commentary.

He's the kind of guy who feels like his life changed completely after viewing a certain product. He will gen into it so much, from the possible lore or original material, the music, the character takes and analysis from twitter users. He's probably one of them

It's so funny actually because you can pretty much guess what mood he's in by the type of thing he recommends watching. A sad movie? He's in his feels and probably lowkey needs a good cry. A fun anime? He wants to have fun and not pay too much attention, probably just relax.

A horror movie? He either wants to try and scare you and then act like the knight in shining armor (he's actually shitting himself too, trust)

"Shit! They just did a jumpscare, I didn't expect one two seconds later!" a couple of popcorns jumping out of the bowl.

"Oh no did that ugly nun scare my princess?" he wraps your shoulders with his arm, voice comically condescending, "Does she want a kiss to make it better?"

"Don't even try it, Sung. I saw you jump too, loser"

A thriller or dramatic movie? Probably feels the need to overthink something other than his life, and most likely have a nice, interesting conversation.

He's also quite strict with seeing new episodes from a series he hasn't seen before. He doesn't like to watch stuff in your presence unless you are also watching them. He much prefers your company anyway, feels also a bit disrespectful and in general he probably wants to focus on the plot.

He's usually pretty silent and concentrated but if it's a rewatch or he's purposefully showing you something he just yaps. So much. He NEEDS you to feel things as he felt them, you know?

"Baby, there! Did you see that shot? It's so fucking genius actually, will be so important for the plot later on"

"Don't spoil!" you exclaim, annoyed.

"Yah, I didn't spoil, I just commented on how good the shot was!" he defended, as you rolled your eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. Shush."

But it's actually stronger than him, I fear.

"The composer using that bit of music during that scene..I know what they're doing"

"How can you hate someone so much but also enjoy their presence at the same time? Such good acting"

But don't get me wrong! He loves to hear you yap just as much. He's actually so in awe, looking at you with those big round eyes and an amused smile.

"Am I talking too much? Ah, sorry baby" you chuckle embarrassed as you catch yourself basically covering the audio of the movie.

He shakes his head with a smile, still with those adoring eyes. Like you could do no wrong, ever.

"No, my baby. You could be literally reading a cooking book, I don't care. You look too pretty."

But when you've both seen the movie/series in question and it's NOT a sad one...it's over. You both know damn well it's just part of the game foreplay at that point.

"Honey, how about we just chill and rewatch this? It was fun last time"

And just like last time, this time was indeed fun, since the movie was left on his own to the end credits as you were blowing each other's backs out.

It's a given at that point, I don't make the rules

y'all i am so bad at checking in and posting on tumblr, but!!! i really must scream on every platform because LOOK AT IT LOOK AT IT LOOK AT IT waaaaaAAAAAA look at this beautiful cover art for my fanfic, illustrated by the amazing @fritzmetzger !!!

If you'd like to check out the fic, it's over here on ao3!

More thoughts and feelings, and talk about how this wonderful artistic collaboration came to be under the cut:

Back in December in the Alan Wake Book Club server, I asked for some kind of writing prompt with intentions of just writing a little drabble to practice. Fritz gave me this: "caseywake, brutal gore necrophilia" and I went alright cool, let's get brutal and weird because I love horror and it's a great chance to play in the space. I started thinking about ideas and began writing and the drabble idea turned into something bigger. A multi-chapter endeavor. Because: I wanted to have Alan kill Casey over and over again but I also wanted him to have to sit and live with the building distress and emotions involved in this, especially when it came to potentially romantic and lustful feelings involving a corpse. (I also found myself wanting to write about Alan as a few different kinds of monsters as a way to play around even more with the horror of it all.)

The more I thought about the dreams, the more I also thought about how I wanted to frame this story and how it would bleed out into both Alan and Casey's real lives. Because the experiences are happening as shared dreams, it's been interesting to think about the short-and-long-term impact that they have on the two of them, and how the dreams interplay with their emotional states and relationships with those around them.

The fic is still very early on right now (i'm taking a little break from writing chapter four as we speak), but I have lots of plans outlined (and I also continue to welcome in new ideas to this both when I am and am not working on it) for the future. If I had to estimate right now... 20 or so more chapters to go based on the current ideas I have outlined right now. After a certain point in the story, we'll also be exploring Casey's side of the dreams to see what his perspective is on what is happening, and I am VERY much looking forward to their eventual realization that all of these strange and grotesque moments were shared over the years once they finally meet face-to-face in 2023.

For anyone reading the fic, the fabled necrophilia is coming very soon! (Chapter 5, unless Casey wants to get another chapter in beforehand. If that happens, it will be chapter 6!)

if you read all my rambling, thank you!! pls join me in will smith posing at this amazing art by fritz!!!! RRRRAAAAAAAA

Deer Tracks

Pairing: Namjoon x f. reader (Suri); A Fine Line couple

Genre: slice of life? a little angst a little fluff? established relationship

Summary:

Beautiful, sobbing high-geared fucking and then to lie silently like deer tracks in the freshly-fallen snow beside the one you love. That's all. (Deer Tracks, by Richard Brautigan)

Word count: 3.2k

Content: implicit smut (piv), that's really it tbh

A/N: Anon, this is for yoooooouuuu! And for anyone else who loves the AFL couple like I do lol my first babies, my special little creatures haha. I have genuinely had this bonus chapter/drabble/whatever you want to call it in mind since I finished writing the series. I have thought of it SO often and, truthfully, never got to the end, never quite figured out in my head how I was going to pull it together. But I'm happy with what I did and I hope you are too!!! Also shout out to sunny for finding this poem for me when I couldn't months and months ago.

*~*

You lay in your bed, staring at the ceiling, legs swishing idly against the sheets, as if making snow angels out of them, but only the bottom half. And there was no snow. And you weren’t having fun. Sleep wouldn’t come. You had learnt that. It wouldn’t come until the smallest hours of the morning, when exhaustion finally gripped you and pulled you under. Then you would wake a few hours later, unrested, and do it all again. 

It was self-inflicted. You knew that, too. You knew that you were doing this to yourself. You were sleeping in your own bed. Namjoon slept next door. You didn’t have to wonder if he was asleep because you could faintly make out the sound of his snoring even through the wall.  

Things weren’t going well and you weren’t dealing with it. You were making it Namjoon’s problem, making yourself Namjoon’s problem. He knew it was happening. You knew it was happening. He didn’t have the power to stop you. You didn’t think you did, either. Even though you wanted to. You could feel all your worst instincts clawing at you, invisible hands crawling over the edge of the bed to pull you apart, pull your life apart. You wanted to resist them and you wanted them to devour you, both at the same time.  

You loved him. You were in love with him. That was the problem. That was the thing that kept you up at night. The anxiety of it screamed at you and, sometimes, you could block it out; sometimes, he would kiss you and you would melt into him and everything felt golden; other times, more often recently, he would kiss you and you’d feel sick. Sick because you wanted to escape. Sick because you wanted him to stop seeing you. Sick because you loved him. Sick because he made you happier than you thought you would ever be again. Sick because it all terrified you.  

So you pulled away. You pulled yourself back into your shell, set up spikes around it, were erratic and irrational about who got access to you and when.  

You were sleeping in your own bed.  

* 

Namjoon had, weeks ago now, planned a sweet winter getaway. Just a long weekend. There was astronomical stuff happening: a big moon, some meteors, something that he would tell you about as you sat, breath puffing in front of you, huddled together outside a cabin, looking at it all. He had said you wouldn’t be able to see it well in the city; he was going to book somewhere remote, where the sky would be dark and clear. You had wondered why it mattered so much but matter it did, to Namjoon, so you had agreed, looked forward to it.  

Until you had realised you loved him. Until he had come home one day, late and tired, and a choir had started singing in your heart. There had been nothing special about that day, not at all, but you had looked at him and he had smiled at you—crinkly-eyed and deep-dimpled—and something inside you had bloomed. It was love. It was horror. 

* 

You wanted him to cancel. To say, ok this is a bad idea, let’s not go and spend 72 hours in each other’s company with no escape and nowhere else to go. Because you wouldn’t say it but you didn’t want to go. You were fighting with yourself not to run, not to scarper, not to dig yourself a hole in the ground and live there instead. You could convince yourself you were coping while you had work to distract you with (and Namjoon had his work, too). But a weekend in the country? You wouldn’t be able to get away from it if you couldn’t get away from him.  

There was a slightly tentative knock at the door. 

“Yeah?” you called. 

Namjoon poked his head around.  

“I know we talked about heading up a little later but they’re forecasting snow so I think we should get an earlier train, is that ok?” 

No. 

“What time is that?” 

“Probably around 9.” 

“Ok.” 

He nodded, hesitated at the door for a second, then nodded again, leaving you to it. You felt sick again. Terrified. Half of you wanted to run out to him, to tell him to please never, ever let you go. Half of you wanted to run.  

* 

The train was slow because the forecast had been partially right: it was snowing, but it was snowing earlier and heavier than predicted. The journey from the train station to the cabin was even worse. Namjoon couldn’t drive; somehow, you had gone all this time not knowing that. You had also forgotten that he had mentioned something about renting a car when he first brought up this trip.  

You hadn’t driven for years. Hadn’t needed to. Wouldn’t have been able to afford a car anyway. You were anxious. You were already anxious and now you had to drive winding roads on forested hills while the snow fell thick like cotton balls.  

“I’m not fucking doing it,” you said, as you and Namjoon stood outside the car rental place.  

“We don’t have any other way of getting there.” 

“Taxi?” 

“They won’t go. I already asked.” 

“Well then how do we get there? I'm not fucking driving.” 

“Suri, plea-” 

“No! I said no! I hate driving. I can’t drive! I won’t!” 

“You said you have a licence.” 

“Yes, I have a licence but I haven’t needed it for years. You seriously expect me to drive in this? I’ll kill us both.” 

Namjoon pulled his beanie from his head with a sigh and then fixed it back in place.  

“I’m sorry. This was not how I planned it. I didn’t know the weather would be this bad, but can you please drive? We can take it slow—everyone else will be driving slowly, too. I promise it’ll be worth it when we get there.” 

You knew it was an argument you couldn’t win because, short of going straight back home, there were no other options. With the way the snow was falling, it was even possible that there wouldn’t be any trains running anyway. You offered him your best scowl and stomped inside to pick up the keys. You wanted to argue, but you wanted to get out of the cold. 

* 

The journey was almost painfully tense. Driving, as it turned out, was quite a lot like riding a bike and, even with the snow, you coped pretty well: drove carefully, took corners slowly, made it to the cabin in a little under an hour. But you held onto your anger like a security blanket. It was, in some ways, a relief to be able to cling to it, rather than being tossed about in the waves of your anxiety. Anger was safe. Anger kept people away. Kept Namjoon away.  

You were hoping for blessed relief from the cold. You were expecting to open the door and be hit with a wall of warmth, fire lit, heating on, a small side lamp illuminating just enough of the space that you could find your way to the light switch. 

It was dark. It was just as cold inside as it was out. You stood in the entry way and clenched your teeth together while Namjoon fumbled with the thermostat.  

“I’m hungry,” you announced when nothing more had happened a minute later. 

“Ok, yeah, we can eat in a sec. Let me just figure this out.” 

“What do we have to eat?” 

“I don’t know, babe; I think there’s something in that bag.” 

Namjoon gestured vaguely to the pile of bags next to you, which told you nothing. You inhaled, preparing to heave an aggrieved sigh when Namjoon straightened and looked at you. 

“I know, ok? I know. I’m sorry. This isn’t like I wanted it to be either.”  

Sentences short, clipped, like he was fighting his own frustration. He probably was. You were being a brat. You knew it. You were making yourself his problem. You were pushing buttons.  

Somehow, this time, it didn’t feel like victory. It felt like defeat.  

You let your sigh fall and stomped past him, flopping onto the sofa still in all your winter stuff. He turned back to the thermostat. 

* 

It remained tense and quiet for the rest of the evening and when you (fully clothed with a jumper and socks on) slipped into bed next to Namjoon (also fully clothed), you had deflated. You couldn’t sustain your anger that long, not when Namjoon didn’t fight back.  

“I’m sorry,” you said, chewing on the inside of your lip, eyes cast down.  

Namjoon leant over and pressed a kiss to your hair. 

“I’m sorry, too. This isn’t what I wanted.”  

You bit harder on your lip when you felt it wobble.  

“I just thought it would be nice to get away. The sky isn’t even fucking clear because of the snow. I should’ve planned this be-” 

“No,” you said, interrupting. “I’m just being pissy.” 

“Yeah...” He paused. “About that-” 

“I’m sorry.”  

You didn’t want him to ask, didn’t want to talk about it. Didn’t want to have to admit it, finally, that you loved him. Certainly not after that day.  

“I...”  

You hesitated because you could feel your heart thumping and that prickling sensation on your skin that said you were stripping yourself bare. “It’s just me. It’s not you. I... I’m not trying to be a dick. Well, I guess, I-... I’m sorry.”  

You risked a glance at him. He wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close. He pressed another kiss into your hair. You closed your eyes and felt your limbs loosen, something inside of you unlocking, allowing you to relax into the warmth of his body.  

“It’s ok,” he whispered. “As long as you’re here.” 

You nodded.  

“I’m here.” 

You raised your face as he went to kiss your head again and he caught your eyebrow. You didn’t give him the opportunity to laugh or say anything; you put your lips against his, turned your body towards him, and hoped you could say without saying the thing that burnt inside you. 

* 

It somehow felt like it had been a long time. That the nights that had passed since the last time he was between your thighs had stretched into weeks, elongated themselves in your memory and your body, so that every touch, every movement felt like remembering. Felt like something almost lost but found again. Felt, as it always did, like something coming together within you. Never more in your body than when he was, too. It grounded you. It brought you closer to yourself, closer to him, as though they were one and the same.  

“F-uck!” you cried, gasping and panting as you tried to hold on, wanting this to last.  

You were so close to it, to letting all that pleasure wash over you, drown you, take you under, but you didn’t want to go. Didn’t want to let this pass. You wanted to stay in this moment, this perfect moment, where it was just you and him and everything you did best.  

If it passed, you would have to confront it again: the fear, the terror that your love placed inside you.  

“Shit,” you swore again, but it wasn’t pleasure this time. It was frustration because you’d thought about it. Because now you were thinking about it.  

You shut your eyes. You couldn’t look at him without that painful heart swelling, that effulgent warmth that enveloped you, followed by the ice-cold trickle of anxiety. You loved him. You loved him. You loved him.  

Did he love you? Could he? Could anyone?  

Your breath hitched and you tightened your fingers around Namjoon’s arm, nails digging into his soft flesh. You could feel it welling, this feeling, these tears, brimming in your eyes, sticking to your lashes. 

The moment the first fell was the moment it all came loose. You came, cursing and crying, your body writhing, Namjoon firm and solid and stable around you. You came, hot and harried, clutching him to you like a buoy, as he held you secure and safe as he always had. You came unfastened, unbuckled, apart at the seams, flopping into him, just crying now, just crying.  

“Baby...”  

His voice was as soft as his body was not.  

“Are you ok?” 

You nodded, desperate for him to believe you as you continued to sob. He placed a hand on your head, stroking gently, the other rubbing small circles into your back.  

“It’s ok,” he whispered. “You’re ok.” 

And you loved him more because that was all he said. He didn’t push you for answers, didn’t make you reassure him. He held you and soothed you and let you be sweaty and naked and messy in his arms.  

You were shivering with the cold before the tears on your cheeks had dried. You both wordlessly re-dressed and snuggled under the bedsheets, still clinging to each other. 

“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked.  

You knew he already knew the answer. No.  

“I’m fine,” you answered, muffled against his hoodie.  

“Can we talk about it tomorrow?”  

You nodded, because it was easier to just say yes now, to push the issue into the future. You could avoid it then, too.  

* 

Sleep didn’t come. You knew it wouldn’t, even though the cold made you tired, even though you could still feel Namjoon in every one of your muscles. You looked at Namjoon, at his face, peaceful as he slept. Not snoring, not right now. Tipped on his side, broad shoulders curled inwards. You thought about what he might see if your places were reversed. Did you look cute as you slept? Could he have lain and felt like he could look at you forever? Did it make his blood feel sweet inside him, having you close to him?  

It felt impossible. Too easy. Everyone had said it was. Namjoon had said it was. Some of it had been easy, you thought. Maybe. The parts where it was you and him and no one else. The parts when you forgot to be self-conscious, forgot to supervise yourself so strictly. The parts when you just let yourself have it—happiness—even if you didn’t think you deserved it. 

You looked towards the window, where that curious glow of snow was sneaking around the edges of the curtains. It was still dark outside, but snow had a light of its own somehow, a peculiar way of shining by itself.  

You slipped carefully out of bed, wrapping your arms around yourself, and went to look. You pulled the curtain back and it was still snowing. Fat flakes fluttering slowly to the ground which was perfectly smooth and white. Unblemished. Untarnished. A blank slate. 

You looked at the dark lump of Namjoon’s body under the covers. You were a blank slate. You had said that. Namjoon brought colour onto it. You had said that. You looked out at this perfect snowfall, the silent padding as it placed itself gently on the ground. A blank slate. Beautiful. No one had disturbed it. Not even a creature.  

You had thought of your blank slate as empty. Blank because it held nothing. Blank with a freedom that scared you because you had been worn down and made to fear it. Your blankness made you hollow and worthless.  

But this snow wasn’t. It was full. It was generous. It was giving itself to the earth. You had chosen. You had made your choice and it was Namjoon. Was always going to be Namjoon from the moment you had met him. And you had stopped fighting that.  

You thought you had stopped fighting it but you had only paused. You stopped fighting it until you started again, until love blossomed in your heart just as everything on the surface started to bury itself underground. The richness and fullness of your own spring felt wrong, at odds with the earth and at odds with what you knew. What you had come to expect. What you had come to believe was all you would ever have.  

You looked at the snow. You looked at Namjoon. You practised. 

“I love you,” you said, barely more than mouthing the words but they still felt loud in the blanketed silence of the room. “I love you.”  

You looked at the snow. Still perfect. Fewer flakes coming down now, the sky no longer heavy with clouds. You had been so intent on the snow that you hadn’t noticed the moon: bigger and brighter than you’d seen it before. This was what Namjoon had wanted to see.  

“Hey,” you said, gently shoving against his shoulder.  

He groaned, rolling onto his back and rubbing his eyes. 

“What’s up?” 

“Come.” 

You tugged on his hand, pulled him out of bed. 

“Look,” you urged, pointing at the moon.  

Namjoon’s response was hummed as he adjusted to being awake. He shivered and pulled you into his body, back to his chest, arms around your waist.  

“The moon,” he said eventually. 

“Yeah, the super one.” 

“Frosty.” 

“Huh?” 

“Uh, it’s called the Frosty moon, I think. If I were awake, I’d remember.” 

You smiled and placed your hands over his, leaning your head back against him. 

“I love you.” 

Namjoon laughed and you froze, rigid as he let you go, as he turned you around. His hands moved to your face and he kissed you, warm and soft, a smile still tugging at the corners of his mouth. 

“I love you,” he replied, kissing you once more before he laughed again. “I fucking love you.” 

“You do?” Your voice was whisper thin, air caught in your throat. 

“Yes, I do! I love you!” 

The bubble of worry in your chest popped and it all disappeared, all that fear, all that doubt. He loved you. He fucking loved you.  

“I love you,” you repeated, looking at him this time.  

Even in the early-morning darkness, you could see his eyes sparkle, see the dimples in his cheeks. He mouthed the words back at you, picked you up and carried you back over to the bed. He wrapped himself tightly around you, lips against the back of your neck, your shoulder, your jaw.  

“I didn’t want to rush you,” he said. “I didn’t want to put any pressure on you, so I wanted you to say it first but, fuck-” he laughed again- “fuck, I’ve wanted to tell you so badly.” 

“You have?” 

“Yes, baby. I love you. I really fucking love you.”  

“I love you.” 

You stared through the darkness at your hands, clasped together just in front of you. The words felt fuller than you ever thought they could. You had thought they would feel like something being taken from you, like they would open up a hole inside you and leave you bereft but they didn’t. Each time you said it, you felt filled up. With every repetition of the words, you felt more whole. Coming together. Being brought together inside yourself, all your little broken pieces.  

You loved him. He loved you.  

You fell asleep quickly and slept soundly until late morning.

RealAgeAU - Doctor Visit

*whispers* pppssssttt @spotaus the next one is here :3

First Drabble Prev Drabble Next Drabble

We do have a warning for this one though, as it will refer child abuse, mental and physical. And wounds and what comes with it.

I am not going to make it graphic but if it bothers you please be careful with reading :)

Otherwise no beta or edits. I write these in one go and just let them live :D

Fun fact, this was originally going to be a Dust pov chapter but I realised that Ngihtmare pov would be more interesting! Also fun fact!! This was suposed to be a lot shorter but then i got typing and i realised some characters were not going to accept certain things without a good explanation and well... here we are.... i regret nothing.

*-------------------*

Nightmare pulls on his shirt as he looks down at it.

Cross hums "Nervous?"

Ngihtmare huffs and shrugs. Yes. but he doesn't want to say so.

Cross gently rubs his spine through the shirt "Yeah I get it. I never liked my health backups either."

Nightmare frowns but feels a bit less stupid about not wanting this health check. It is just stupid! His four... his four already check his old wounds! There is a reason they don't let him bath alone.

Nightmare finally finds the right words and mutters "It is just... not needed... You guys check them."

Cross is silent before Nightmare yelps as he is picked up easily. He shoots Cross a glare but Cross just keeps smiling and hugs him close with a purr "We get it Night. But we are worried too. We need to make sure that everything really is healing as we think it is. None of us are medical professionals." Cross smiles at him "please?"

Nightmare shrugs as he leans into the hold. It is nice. comfortable and warm. He hadn't realised how much he had missed hugs and being held. Last time anyone wanted to hug him this much was when he still lived with Dream and even Dream's hugs had been short or more of just leaning. His four just, hold him for as long as they like. Which can go on for the whole day.

It is nice.

Cross nuzzles his skull "And you won't be alone. Dust will be with you the whole time."

Nightmare nods. He ahd asked the day before why just Dust. Dust had explained they had agreed it would be for the best to just have one of them there to keep an eye on it. Killer hadn't wanted to get attention on him because of his soul and Horror had had much the same reason. His skull may look like a mess but it is very stable. Neither had wanted to take the focus away from Nightmare as he, according to them, needed it most.

And with Cross now again admitting health checks make him nervous. It is no wonder it would be Dust.

Nightmare gives a slow nod "true..." and you can't remove Dust unless he wants to be removed. Nightmare had known that since he first met the other skeleton.

Cross nods and smiles "See? Perfectly okay." he stands up and Nightmare gets lifted wiht him. Nightmare for his part just grabs hold on Cross's shirt to stay steady as they leave their attic.

The week they had been here is honestly amazing. Nightmare gets to relax more and read his book on the couch. At elast one of them is always nearby.

It is still weird that Crop, and his brother Straw, are so... nice. Nightmare isn't used to others being nice to him.

It is weird.

He can accept it from his four. But that is different, they are different. They are special and actually care, that is why they are nice and came back to him... for him.

Nightmare leans against Cross as they get downstairs. Dust and Horror are discussing things as Killer sits by the window staring outside.

Cross grins at the others "All clean and ready ti mingle!" Cross easily walks over to Dust and Nightmare feels himself be handed over to the other skeleton.

Nightmare can feel the difference between their holds and feels the other magic near. It is nice and familiar nad Nightmare just leans agaisnt Dust.

Dust leans close and nuzzles him "You okay? We can still call it off." Cross shoots Dust a disapproving look but Dust ignores him.

Nightmare is appreciates it but shakes his skull "It is fine. It is needed..." He huffs and crosses his arms as he looks to the side "It is just stupid." he doesnt want to do this.

Dust nods "Needed things often are stupid. It is honestly a terrible system." and another nuzzle and Ngihtmare feels a bit better.

Crop, who had been watching from the kitchen, walks over "so... who is gonna go the talking? Do you all want to be there?" and he waits.

Killer doens't look away from the window but answers "Dusty will stay with Nightmare throuhg it all. We will stay in the living room."

Crop nods "Right right." he looks a bit more nervous "You got a story straight?"

Ngihtmare huffs and mutters against Dust's shoulder "There is nothing straight about that story."

Dust freezes before snorting and trying to smother his laughing. Horror, who had been close enough to hear too, grins widely.

Cross and Killer btoh turn to them confused, same for Crop.

Dust snorts and shrugs but Horror answers "We spoke about it before hand." and Horror shoots Dust a look.

Dust looks actively pained "Yes we spoke about it."

Cross smiles at Crop's worried look "it is fine! Dust is great at this stuff. He won't share everything of what happened but will tell the healer enough to really sell it and get rumours flowing."

Ngihtmare nods and feels... happy? Pride? he isn't sure but he always knew his four were special and amazing and this just proves it again.

Crop blinks and nods "okay. As long as that is the case... She should be here any moment. She is the head doctor and head healer in our town and anything in her clinic goes through her. She is really nice and just wants to help though so no worries okay?" and he grins.

Nightmare is once again reminded of what is coming and feels hismelf grow more tense as he turns slightly to be clsoer to Dust. Dust just holds him closer and nuzzles him. Dust doesn't say anyhting but it still helps. it feels nice... it is safe.

Crop looks troubled but before he can say anything Killer turns sharply to the window again "Car just stopped. a deer monster got out." and he glances at Crop.

Crop smiles and rushes to the door "That is her. euh. just act-" he turns but before he can say anything Dust and Ngihtmare are already on the couch, Nightmare is still in his lap and has a book in his hands. Nightmare cna spot Killer by the table wiht some playing cards, already having a few made to form a house of cards. Cross is by the tv playing around with the channels as Horror sets water up for tea.

Crop blinks as he softly mutters the rest of his sentence "-act natural..." moments later a knock on the door.

Ngihtmare pushes closer to Dust and Dust takes the book from his shaking hands and starts reading it out loud.

Crop opens the door and Nightmare can't even focus on the calm voice of Dust or the fact the others are around. as Killer had said, the doctor is a deer monster of some kind. she has rather impressive antlers for her kind as she greets Crop with a familiarity.

Crop turns to the room and grins "Guys. This is Fauna. She is the head doctor in town and she is nice and very profesional!" and he waits.

Nightmare watches as Killer huffs as he looks her up and down "... I see." he walks over to Dust and Nightmare and Nightmare suddenly gets another skull nuzzling him.

Dust chuckles as he calmly puts the book away "Careful Kills, he just had a bath and your goop tends to stick."

Killer pouts at him "kill joy."

Nightmare blinks between them as he lounges against Dust. He glances back and sees a soft smile on Fauna's face. Ah. Right. make sure to show what you want them to see.

Dust looks up at Fauna and nods "I will be staying with him through his checkup." it is an announcement.

Fauna smiles and crosses her arms "oh really? I am sure we will discuss that." she looks at Crop "Where can we have this conversation and checkup?"

Crop smiles "The kitchen! come this way." and Crop leads Fauna there.

Dust rises to his feet and Nightmare cna see both Cross and Killer shoot him nervous glances.

Dust just huffs "I got this." and walks towards the kitchen. Just in time to see Horror pour some mugs of tea and setting two aside.

Horror looks at Dust "Chamomile and lemon." He smiles at Nightmare and points to the other "Lavender and peach." he nods to Crop and Fauna and silently leaves the kitchen.

Dust takes a seat before taking a sip of his own tea. Nightmare grabs his own mug and sips it. It is nice, easily with the intent Horror put into it when he made it. It helps him relax.

Crop grabs a mug for Fauna and Fauna quickly makes her own tea. Then she gives Crop a very pointed look "I know this is your house but just because you are now technically their landlord does not mean you are allowed to have this information. out you go."

Crop doesn't fight it at all "Of course. you know your way around." he grins at Dust and Nightmare "Take it easy okay?" and he leaves.

A long silence in the room.

Fauna takes asip from her own tea and looks at Dust critically "Now. Before we start I have to ask you two a few questions. Foremost and before anything else. I am here for the wellbeing of that child." she smiles at him "That is my goal." she gives Dust a colder look "Understood?"

Dust raises a brow "That is fine." then slower "However. Before we answers any questions I have one very important one for you. What are your privacy policies?" Dust nudges Ngihtmare and Nightmare is quick to take another sip, it helps to calm his shaking a bit.

Dust stares Fauna down easily "Just like you want to make sure he is okay. we just want him safe. If you are a risk to that safety we will not answer anything."

Fauna glares but nods "Insulting to be questioned like that but understanding. When I took this profesion I took a few oaths. One, to always help those in need no matter who they are. Two, to always put the health of my patient first. Three, to never disclose private matters of a patient to other people." she turns her spoon in her mug "I take these oaths very seriously. You can't help people if you are not trustworthy."

Dust rolls his eyes "Of course you took oaths. I mean who will get access to this information? You knowing it is one thing. You making physical notes that someone else can read is another. We don't want... certain people to have access to information about him." and Nightmare feels Dust hug him closer.

Obviously not a lie. They have always been careful with another about his situation geting known to other people. But that is multiverse level. And unless they would visit this universe and ask the right people the chance of the stars finding this file are very low. But... for their backstory? It is crusial. Dust having been on the run with a babybones that had been stolen and he just stole back? That means this type of information is very dangerous to just lay around.

Fauna frowns and seems to make the conclusion that Dust wants her to make. Her voice gets a bit softer as she answers slowly "Patient files are under lock and key... however. I have a special case which only I can access where I keep the more sensitive information that only i know. If i have information that I deem to sensitive for others to hear I make sure to lock it away tightly." hse has a stubborn look "And no one knows where that is."

Ngihtmare considers it for only a moment and assumes it is in her inventory. Slightly high risk as if she were to dust that information would disappear forever and be lost forever. However, no one can force someone to take something out of their inventory.

Dust frowns and gives a slow nod "Ask your questions." then he looks at Nightmare and nuzzles his skull again "If you don't want to answer her you can say so okay?" Nightmare nods and waits.

Fauna stares at them for a moment longer ebfore smilign at Nightmare "Hello... before anythign else... Do you have a name you would be okay with me calling you and knowing you as?"

Ngihtamre thinks it over before answering "My name is Nightmare, miss."

Fauna smiles and writes it on a file she has pulled out of nowhere, see? Inventory.

Fauna nods and looks back at him "How would you like to refer to you? A boy? a girl? neither? both?"

Ngihtamre shrugs as he leans against Dust. "I prefer he... but anything is fine honestly..." an afterthought and he shoots Dust an uncertain look. Dust just gives him a nod. Nightmare looks at the table "Just... no 'it' please." there. He doesn't like that. He knows some monsters are fine with that but he isn't.

Fauna nods "Of course." she smiles "Nightmare. That is not a name i hear often. Did you pick it yourself or was it given to you?"

Ngihtmare holds tighter unto Dust and mutters "Given."

Fauna nods again before smiling "by who?"

Nightmare freezes and turns to Dust for a moment. dust just nuzzles him "Your choice."

meaning he will figure out their story and edit it if he needs to. Ngihtmare feels bad about the idea of not telling his name for given by Nim... she had been his mother! yet... yet...

yet...

Nightmare shrugs as he leans against Dust "What everyone always said i was..." not a lie.

DUst frowns and holds him closer. Fauna frowns as well "Are you sure then you want to be called tht then?"

Ngihtmae nods and spekas with more confidence "fits fine wtih everyone." and more importantly "it is my name." his. Even if everyone always made it out to be something bad. It was his!

Fauna blinks before smiling "Yeah. your name is the first thing that is truely yours. and so that means it is your choice what you do with it." she notes down the name and looks at them "no family name?"

Ngihtmare shakes his skull and looks at Dust and waits.

Dust shrugs "never needed one."

Fauna chuckles nad nods "I can imagine that your names aren't in the list of most popular babynames. This will work just fine for now." she looks back at him "now nightmare. a very important question. Are you really okay wiht Dust being here for your examination?"

Nightmare is alreayd nodding and holds unto Dust tighter. Dust hugs him "I am not leaving unless he tells me to leave."

Fauna nods, not at all btohered by the glare Dust sends her way "of course. Is it okay for Dust to then be noted down as someone who is allowed to know your medical records and information?"

Nightmare nods nad pauses for a moment "So are the others."

Fauna raises her pen and waits.

Nightmare rolls his eye lights "Killer, Horror and Cross. They cna all know as well. They know things." everything he is willing to share that is.

Dust raises a brow "are you done yet with your interrogation? I thought this was suposed to be about how he is doing."

Fauna hums and looks unbothered as she updates the file "I want to be sure that I know who i can share what with." she looks at Dsut "privacy policies."

Dust looks beyond annoyed and huffs before his face goes back to being calm and bored looking.

Fauna nods and looks at Nightmare "Now. We will start easy. an examination can be a lot and with what Crop told me he knew it makes me worried about your health. we will go as far as you feel comfortable with. I will start with asking soem questions, ease you in. okay?" and she waits with a gentle smile.

Ngihtamre thinks it over before nodding.

Fauna nods again as she grabs a list "Does anything hurt?"

Nightmare rolls his eye lights and nods. Duh. He is healing.

She immediantly frowns and pulls out a shard with frowning faces "now... which face would show you how you feel about this pain?"

Ngihtmare knows he is pulling a face as Dust chuckles. Nightmare looks unimpressed at Fauna "It hurts a lot. I would say a ten when it happened. about an eight on days it hurts more and about a six otherwise."

She stares in shock and Dsut shrugs "the.... people.. he was stuck with... did not treat him as a child... we are still working on that." and he looks at Nightmare but Dust can see the pride and amusement.

Fauna frowns but makes careful notes "okay... can you explain to me what hurts? in your words."

Ngihtamre waits a moment before speaking "ribs... always... spine aches easily. legs normally don't hurt unless i walk a lot... skull doesn't hurt unless i use do magic. arms also always hurt but not as bad..." he tries to think what else but then shrugs.

Fauna however looks horrified and moves closer but she immediantly stops. Nightmare only realises later that the second she moved he flinched back and fully against Dust.

Fauna nods "okay.... That is very serious. You say using your magic also harms you?"

Ngihtmare nods slowly "not like... eating and stuff... or lighting up my eyes... but bigger things... spell stuff." it sucks but luckily the balance doens't need him anymore. He hadn't flet any new calling and figures he has time.

Fauna nods and frowns at Dust and Nightmare both "crop mentioned that there had been magic at play. somekind of shielding?"

Nightmare looks helplessly at Dust. he had no idea how to explain that!

Dust nods to nightmare before looking at Fauna "if you don't mind i will answer that." Fauna nods and Dust continues "We aren't quite sure of the details. we never saw the magic or studied the spell up close. We think he got into contact with something very powerful, probably with old magic. maybe an artifect. We never actually saw what it was. But it formed a sort of shield or bubble. It enclosed him, his soul and magic. but eventually it warn off and Nightmare appeared again. I saw him reappear and after some confusion on our end we got to work to get Nightmare back with us for safety..."

Fauna nods "You have seen this bubble or shielding?"

Dust nods "I have, it left Nightmare completely unrecognizeable from who he truly was. You wouldn't even be able to guess he was in there..."

Fauna frowns heavily as she makes notes "That may have impacted his magical growth and development, which may also be part of the reason shy using complex magic hurts him."

Nightmare stares at Dsut in shock. How had he just... made that up?! On the spot? It wasn't even a lie!

Dust sees him look and winks back wiht a grin before pulling his face back to the blank worried one of before.

Fauna nods as she sits up striaghter "okay. that is most of the verbal examination. I am very sorry but I really need to look at the physical wounds and your magic. I understand you have had very bad experiences with others who were suposed to keep your safe. Will you please allow me to see if i can help?"

Nightmare frowns as he thinks before answering "only wiht Dusty here." Dust will keep him safe. he can't keep himself safe but that is okay because Dust will.

Fauna nods "of course. Where would you like to start?"

Ngihtmare thinks before answering "magic and skull." that is easy to do together and as soon as he stops using his magic his skull will be healed again.

Dust pushes the chair they are sitting on a bit backwards and moves them around. Nightmare sits wiht his spine and back against Dust's front and he feels the slow and even soulbeat of him against his spine.

It helps calm his own racing soul.

Fauna sits in front of them. a reasonable amount of space between them.

Nightmare takes a deep breatha dn leans against Dust as he calls up his magic. It is still tought but a bit easier. It answers his call but it doesn't take any shape. It doesn't have a purpose. Nightmare tries to use it to feel the healer's general emotions and his head starts to ache.

He tells them as much and starts to feel what the lady is feeling. Worry, just so much worry and grief. Grief for him.

Ngihtmare doesn't get it. People don't like Nightmare. Ngihtmare is a bad omen and makes bad things happen. Why would she be worried for him? She doesn't even know him.

A loud gasp and even more worry and horrified feelings and Nightmare knows the cracks are visible.

Nightmare doesn't look at her but instead at the table. the light of his scars is bright enoguh to light up the room in a strange combination or purple and cyan.

Dust speaks softly "His own magic is purple... the cyan was from whatever the shielding bubble thing had been." a soft hand rubbing his shoulders. helping him relax.

Fauna swallows before speaking softly "Can I come closer and examine it?"

Nightmare answers himself "may as well... I managed to do it now anyway." it aches so badly "just... quickly please."

Dust mumbles "and carefully. This is very painful."

Fauna moves carefully and even a feather light touch causes agony as he shakes and a whimper escapes him.

Dust pulls him further back "Ngihtamre i think that is enough. can you dispell your magic again?"

His skull is swimming in pain and emotions not his own. He can't feel adn understand them on the same level anymore... can't sperate them from himself as easily anymore.

The light disappears and Nightmare just lays shaking in Dust's hold. Dust frowns at him and mutters "It got worse again..."

Ngihtamre looks away but nods. Dust just rubs his back and looks at Fauna "So yeah... pretty much all his magic still has that... cyan colour to it but as you saw it isn't helping him."

Fauna is writing quickly in her notes "It is almost an invasive magic on him. However it doesn't seem like he makes this cyan magic himself. I think it are still left overs but we would have to try and messure the two different forms of magic which is hard to do in the same person. those wounds..." and she looks at them.

Dust sighs "THe newest... wounds he got on... on his way out... on his way away from those he was with before... We always thought that whatever the magic was it saved him." again, no lies, just selective with the information and how he tells it.

Fauna taps the notes and nods "Well worrying. I think you are right on the magic having saved him. Especially as when he isn't using magic it isn't harming him. What i think that is happening is that the magic is keeping the head wounds close and whole. I think him trying to use his magic makes the cyan magic react as well, but as he can't make that it is pulled from whatever source he has. which in this cause is the very thing helping him." she nods and writes on another paper "For now. don't use any complex spells. only use very light and natural magic. things that don't bother or tire him. This way you can keep his own magic active and practise to help it grow stronger without disrupting the magic in his skull. If he at any moments starts to regularly have headaches we will need to look into somekind of magic transfer."

Dust frowns "why not do a transfer now?"

Fauna sighs "Magical transfers can be dangerous. if your soul doesn't accept the transfer you are suddenly without any magic in you. For children, especially those with very little magic themselves, it has an added risk of completely overwriting their own magic. meaning that their soul will only accept the new type of magic, but as the soul can't make this they will still have the same fate." she gives Dust a cold stare "this is not something done lightly."

Dust nods and mutters "We will keep an eye out for headaches." he give shim a look "any. headache."

Nightmare pouts and huffs at him "Okay. I will tell you."

Dust nods "good."he nudges their skulls together softly. "What next?"

nightmare frowns and sighs "ribs... it is the worst.. if that is okay the rest should be too." even if he hates losing his shirt and showing anyone the wounds and barely healed bones.

Dust nods and looks at fauna "Nightmare is going to have to sit with his back to you. You will need to announce any movement you make and keep making somekind of sound or noise."

Fauna accepts it easily and waits. Nightmare turns to sit towards Dust nad lets Dust help get him out of his loose shirt. Cross had specificlaly picked this one for today to make this easier. It is also why they skipped the bandages for today.

A loud gasp and Nightmare quickly hides his face in the bright red scarf.

Dust rubs the back or his skull "Yeah. we know. We try to get him to take a bath each day to clean the wounds out. He can bath himself but the wounds demand extra attention and care that he as a six year old just doesn't have the dexterity for." hearing Dust talk helps him calm down. he isn't alone. he isn't alone. he isn't alone.

Fauna swallows and speaks in a soft voice "I am going to sit a bit closer and take a closer look at some of your wounds near your spine." slow movements and Ngihtmare feels hismelf grow more tense. Fauna continues to talk "you are being very brave. thank you for trusting me, or at least trusting Dust enough to allow me to try and help you." she sits closer and Ngihtmare cna hear her breathing now. Fauna hums softly "Even if they look bad and still very hurt, which i know they do, they are very clean and seem to be healing well. YOu are all taking very good care of these breaks and missing chips."

Fauna shifts a tiny bit and Nightmare tightens his hold on Dust's hoody. Nightmare relaly likes the material that Dust wears. it is soft and makes it easy for him to sink his tiny claws into. Not let go.

Fauna speaks again "Mayb i touch the bones on your spine? I need to check how sensitive and hurt the still healthy bones are."

Nightmare takes a moment and nods before grabbing Dusts arm. DUst luckily understnads him "He will grip me if it hurts and i will tell you. is that okay?"

Fauna speaks with relieve "That is fine. Thank you for letting me examine this. I am going to touch your spine in 3. 2. 1. now." the touch on his spine still surprises him but aside from the tiny flinch nothing happens. Fauna hums and speaks "I am goign to touch a tiny bit lower." the touch moves but no pain. "very good. a bit lower again." the touch moves lower but his whole spine lights up in pain and Nightmare whimpers as he clams down on Dust's hand.

"It hurts him very badly." the hand on his spine is already gone before Dust finishes his sentence.

Fauna speaks with full praise "Thank you Nightmare. you did amazing. You are very brave."

Nightmare can't help it as he pushes closer to Dust "dusty... it is weird."

silence and Dust hums "what is?"

Nightmare pushes clsoer to Dust "her being nice." people aren't nice to him. they hate him at first sight. why is she different. why...

"Why weren't they nice?" he hates how he sounds but he just wants to know.

Dust holds him clsoer, Dust's hands and arms always know were to hold wihtout hurting him. same for the others. they are safe.

Dust mutters "I don't know. I think they were just dumb." a bit louder "I think we shuld stop."

Fauna is quick to agree "absolutely. I am sorry for not realising we had already hit his limit."

Dust helps him put on his shirt again "Nightmare is an amazing person. but he has the habit of not saying what bothers him." dust holds him close in a hug and dust looks at fauna "the spine is the worst by far. What do you think?"

Fauna writes some things down before speaking "I think you four have been doing a good job with trying to help him heal the pain he was caused. The spine is going to be a slow healing process, even slower because of his magic situation. All you cna do is keep cleanign it daily and making sure it is wrapped up." she finishes writing something.

Dust takes the note and speaks "understood. keep cleaning the wounds daily, wrap them up and check to make sure the wounds don't get bigger. Aside from that he isn't suposed to use his magic aside from easy and stressless things. if he at any moment starts to have headaches we are to call immediantly"

Fauna answers him "indeed. If you have any questions or worries feel free to call. I put the number for my clinic on there as well. Just ask for me and saywho you are and they will call me. I am going to amke sure that everyone knows you are on the emergancy list." slow steps towards the door and exit of the kitchen when she stops "He is a very sweet babybones. I am sorry to hear he got this hurt."

Dust chuckles and just holds him clsoer "we know... we agree..."

a moment of silence before Fauna speaks again "I am going to talk with Crop that you will have to use his bathroom a lot, doctors orders. What else you tlel him is up to you. Have a good day." and she is gone.

They sit in silence nad Dust just helps Nightmare finish his now much colder tea. The taste is still good even when cold...

DUst nuzzles his skull "You oaky?"

Ngihtmare just pushes closer "tired."

Dust chuckles "Yeah... me too... how about this? I am going to help you wrap up your ribs. after that we will lay in the living room together and nap while Killer and Cross get competitive over a card game?"

Nightamre nods and relaxes "yeah" that sounds great. Dust picks him up and takes him to their attic to help him get ready for the rest of the day.

Dust will tell the others how it went and what to watch out for. Nightmare just has to relax and trust him.

And that is okay. Nightmare has gotten a lot better at trusting others.

A creepy cat doll

-----

It's a normal day at Jujutsu High, Yuji and the other three, Kisho, Megumi and Nobara came back from their mission and are now hanging out in the classroom. They heard from Principal Yaga that Taz is on a mission with Miko and Yuria to exorcise a grade 3 curse as part of training.

As they talked and laughed, Gojo-sensei walks in, "Hi there, my adorable students!" Then he looks around, "Wait...Taz, Miko and Yuria?" He asked.

"Out on a mission. A grade 3 curse." Megumi answered. Gojo hums, "That's okay! I brought a cute doll for Taz! I just found in a shop and it looks so cute!" Gojo laughs.

"Are you doing this because the principal gives her better gifts?" Megumi asked. Gojo lets out a gasp, "Of course! I'm not jealous! My Taz always brings me sweets whenever I ask. She's so thoughtful that I can't help in getting something for her!" Gojo smiles happily. "Anyway! I got to do something! A quick job! So I'm going to leave this bag! Can you four look after this for me?! Just don't bring it out of the bag! I want to see Taz's face when she sees it." He smiles.

"Sure can do, Gojo-sensei!" Yuji smiles, happy to hear Gojo got something for Taz. She deserves it after all.

"Okay! Later~!" Gojo said in a singing tone as he leaves out of the room with a wave. Now it's just the bag and the four students.

"So Gojo brought something for Taz, huh?" Nobara smiles.

"It's the least he can do!" Yuji said cheerfully.

"I just wish Taz would stop buying cakes for him..." Megumi sighs.

"Oh come, Fushigoro, Taz says he doesn't mind it." Kisho said. "She and Gojo have something in common, both love sweets! Taz always says that she is glad to have a teacher who loves sweets just like her. She always shares with him."

"Still...I feel like he's taking advantage of her." Megumi grumbled, shaking his head, "Every time he asks, she never says no."

"Hey now! Like Kisho said, Taz doesn't mind it." Yuji said. "Although, I do get worried if Gojo gets any cavities from that. And I always ask her about it and she says no." He said.

"You both are worried about nothing! Taz will be fine!" Nobara crossed her arms and then she smirked, " But you know~" She smiled mischievously, "I want to see what kind of toy that Gojo brought."

"Huh?! He said don't bring it out of the bag!" Yuji reminds her.

"Come on! Aren't you at least curious about what kind of toy it is? We can just put it back like nothing happened!"Nobara argued.

"I'm with Nobara on this one!" Kisho said. "I want to see it too!" He said as his spirit companion, Eito chirped with curiosity.

"It's just going to be another cute doll. Almost the same as Eito here." Megumi points out. Eito tweets in a disagreement to which Kisho says, "Yeah! But not all dolls are plushies!" He said, crossing his arms.

"I don't know guys..." Yuji said.

"Come on, Yuji! You can be the judge if the toy is right for her or not!" Kisho encourages him to join in. Yuji sighs and concedes. "Okay! But once we take a look at it, we're putting it in back before Gojo or Taz comes back."

"Whatever. Do what you want." Megumi said with a sigh, not minding this. He won't admit that he is also curious so all four are in agreement. However, in the next few moments, none of them is prepared for what is in the bag once Nobara pulls it out. The moment that Nobara pulls the doll from the bag. All four faces blinked and turned pale, seeing the object in Nobara's hand.

"Eh?" Nobara blinked stupidly.

"No way..." Megumi begins.

".Hold on.." Yuji trying to process what's he seeing and hoping his eyes aren't playing tricks on him.

"Is that uh..." Kisho begins.

In Nobara's hand, it's a purple cat doll with wide smile with beady eyes and has a long tail. A sudden memory came to mind when they recalled one of Miko's friends, Hana and her ghost stories. One of them involved a toy factory rumored to have kids turned into toys. Not only that, there was one toy that was recalled and it had a disturbing cartoon commercial.

A Catnap doll.

They remember the news talking about this.

Strange and violent nightmares.

Recall.

Your kids. Are. Not. Safe with Catnap.

"......."

A moment passes and then, "AAAAH!"

The three Yuji, Kisho, and Nobara are now screaming making Megumi wince his eyes at the volume of sheer terror from their voices. Nobara throws the doll against the wall. They are now freaking out. Eito is squawking and flying around in a panic.

"What the hell?!" Megumi cursed.

"OH GODDD! I TOUCHED IT!! I TOUCHED IT! EWWWW!" Nobara cried, waving her hands in disgust.

"WHY DID SENSEI HAVE THAT?!" Yuji cried, putting his hands on the sides of his head as he can't believe this.

"NO! THE QUESTION WE SHOULD BE ASKING WHY DID HE BRING THAT HERE!?" Kisho yelled, pointing at Catnap with fearful eyes.

The sudden noise got Sukuna out of his slumber and wondered what is the commotion.

"What the fuck?! It's 2 in the afternoon! Shut up, I'm sleeping! What the hell are you all yelling about?" Sukuna asked annoyed.

"Gojo-sensei brought Catnap to the school!!" He answered with fright.

"Who?!" Sukuna had to open his eyes underneath Yuji's eyes to see what the hell he was looking at. Then he widened his eyes to see the cat doll on the floor, looking at him and the students with its wide grin and black beady eyes. Memories already flood his mind thanks to that cursed commerical.

"OH HELL NO! You gotta be shitting me! Six Eyes brought this thing here?! Has he lost his fucking mind?!"

"I don't think he knows!" Kisho replied. "What should we do?!"

"We can't let Taz see this! Or have Gojo give this to her!" Nobara said, shaking her head. "Nope, Nope. NO WAY!" She yelled.

"S-she's right! I won't let my little sister get this...this thing...it will give her nightmares!" Yuji replied.

But the question is, who's going to get rid of this.

"Nobara! You get rid of it." Kisho begins.

"HA?!" Nobara exclaimed at Kisho in disbelief, "No way!" She jabs a finger at Kisho's chest, "I already touched it! I'm not going to touch it againt! How about you go! Set it on fire!" Nobara pointed at it frantically.

"Do you forget that thing can spray?! I don't even know if it's flammable or not! What happens if I commit arson by accident?!" Kisho said. Megumi curses under his breath, shaking his head.

"Okay! Yuji, you go!" Nobara pointed.

"Huh?! Why me?!" Yuji gasped.

"Don't you care about Taz???" Nobara questions.

"I do! But...what if I squeeze it and the spray stuff comes out?! BESIDES! You're the one who started this! You go get rid of it!" Yuji yelled.

"WHY ME?!" Nobara cried.

"Oh my fucking- you damn brats! Can ONE of YOU get rid of this accursed thing!" Sukuna complained as he couldn't believe what he's hearing.

"You guys are unbelievable." Megumi rolls his eyes and stands up from his chair, "I will do it. Besides...the doll sprays from its mouth if you pull its tail." Megumi goes to get the doll off the floor. "We just need to trash it or something then we can explain to Gojo why Taz can't have this doll without her knowing." He said, leaving the class.

"Good plan." Yuji, Nobara, and Kisho said in unison, liking Megumi's simple plan.

The other three are following now him in the hallway. Megumi is going to trash this, tell Gojo when he comes back — probably show him the commercial so he can see where they're coming from and Taz won't know about the doll-

"Hey guys! We're back from our mission!" A happy voice is heard, making the four freezes in their feet.

"Shit!"

Megumi quickly hides the doll behind his back and hisses lowly at the three to do something. Yuji goes to take the doll quickly and throws it across the hall and out the window. Thanks to Yuji's quick thinking and excellent reflexes, Taz Hellion and the girls, Yuria and Miko don't notice a thing.

"Hi lil sister, how's the mission?" Yuji quickly said, flashing her a smile.

"It was good! Me, Yuria, and Miko exorcised the curse! Miko did a great job!" Taz said.

"Did she now?" Kisho smiles now, putting on his best smile. "How did you do, Miko?"

"It's thanks to Anaconda. He beat it and it's all thanks to Yuria backing us up with her Spirit Gun and Taz distracting it." Miko said. Yuria smiles. "Yeah! It was great! I felt like a sorcerer already!"

"Good for you guys! We're so proud of you!" Nobara nods her head. Then Taz takes a sniff, making the four sweatdrops.

"Is that lavender?" She said, taking a sniff at the air. "What is that? It smells like-"

'Shit! Taz's nose!' Megumi thought.

'This is bad! Really bad!' Yuji thought, freaking out.

'How are we going to explain this?!' Kisho thought.

"Oh! I dragged the boys to a perfume store after the mission. There was this lavender scent and I like it!" Nobara said. "I was thinking of buying it but I love the rose perfume more!" She explained. This made the boys grateful for Nobara's quick answers.

"Thank you, Nobara Kugaski!' All three said in thought, forever grateful.

Taz smiles. "Oh okay! Lavender smells really nice! It helps me sleep!"

This got the four more tense.

"Hmmm...I was thinking we should get a scented candle now thinking about it." Said Miko with a smile.

"Good idea!" Taz said as Yuria nodded. "Anyway! We're going to get washed up. See you later!" Taz said as she and two other girls walked off. After the girls are out of sight, the four are now in clear.

They let out a loud relieved sigh.

"Oh god! That was close!" Yuji said.

"Way too close!" Nobara said.

"Tell me about it!" Kisho said.

"We need to find that doll and put it in the trash. Itadori, where did you throw it?" Megumi asked.

"Uhhh...." Yuji blinked. "Out the window? I think?"

"You think?" Kisho questions. Yuji frowns, "Hey! I am not going to let Taz see that doll! What would you do if Miko saw it?"|

"Hold on! Me and Miko aren't like that, okay!" Kisho retorted but slumped his shoulder when the three raised a brow at him, "But I see your point.." He sighed. Megumi shakes his head and goes to go to the window that Yuji threw Catnap into. It was outside so the four looked for the doll. But it is not found.

"Jeez, how hard did you throw it?" Nobara said.

"Enough for sis not to see it," Yuji said. Several minutes later, no sign of the catnap doll. Megumi sighs, "We can find it later, sooner or later. We need to tell Gojo about this."

Yuji wonders and asks the King of Curses, 'Hey Sukuna, do you think Catnap has any cursed energy.'

'Yes but I don't know how much it is since all of you were freaking out. It's like it has some leftover residue but that's all I can tell. Kinie could of picked up the scent but the smell of lavender might of been a cover." Sukuna theorized. "Also I don't think it's a threat.."

Good to know. Yuji said.

"Just to make sure, how about we get your shikigami to sniff it out." Kisho suggested. Megumi makes a face. Kisho had his hands up, "Just want to make sure, okay? It would be easier besides...that thing has lavender smell on it. Even Taz says so herself. Eito can smell it too."

Eito chirps in agreement.

Sighing, Megumi made a shadow puppet with his hands and summoned his Divine Dog Totality to track down the doll. But then...the dog goes to track right back into the building. The four became confused until they reached the classroom. They open the sliding door and what's there is Catnap is sitting upright on the teacher's desk. The four sorcerers became unnerved by this.

"Uh...Yuji...you did throw out the window, right?" Kisho asked, making sure. Yuji slowly nods, "I did."

"SO WHY IS IT THERE???" Nobara and Kisho shouted, freaking out.

"I DON'T KNOW OkAY?!" Yuji cried as he is also freaking out. Then the doll drops to the side, taking another scream out of the three. All of them hide behind Megumi shaking and scared. The black-haired teen growls and shakes his head,, "Must be Gojo messing with us again!" He said, snatching the doll off the desk. They're seriously taking this thing to the trash. There's no way Gojo would think this is cute. This is a dumb prank of his.

Megumi goes to the nearest biggest recyclable bin and throws the doll into it before closing the lid.

"There? Are we all happy?" He asked the three. The three nodded. "Good. Once Gojo gets here, we will be fine." Megumi said.

---

But it wasn't fine. Tonight is where things get really disturbing. Night falls as everyone is in their rooms, resting.

Yuji is watching a movie with Jennifer Lawerence in it and then...he hears scratching noises.

Weird scratching sounds.

At first, Yuji thought it was some raccoons. But he had to remind himself. Since when Jujutsu High had raccoons? He checks around his room and there is nothing. The scratching has stopped. Yuji sighs. Must be Eito and Kisho again. Or something.

There's no way that Catnap is making trouble, right? He has been thrown in the garbage. Sukuna said it's not a threat.

Yuji shakes his head. Just a stupid ghost story. It's way too convenient to be real. Megumi said that it must be Gojo playing tricks on them. But then...Gojo-sensei hasn't come back to collect the bag and he called Megumi that he won't be back till tomorrow morning. Megumi didn't get a word in because Gojo hung up. It's gotta be a prank. It's gotta be.

He goes to play the video again and then a few seconds, the scratching continues. Yuji tries to ignore it but it is getting incessant right now.

Yuji is annoyed and looks out at the window, "Okay..knock it off-"

But words are caught in his throat as he sees pure white eyes within the dark sockets of a purple feline with a Cheshire grin looking at him in the bushes outside the window.

Catnap.

"AAAH!" Yuji falls off from his bed and looks outside. It is gone.

"Oh my god...Sukuna, did you see that?" Yuji said.

"I did. What the fuck?" Sukuna cursed.

"Can you switch with me so you can check it out?"

"Sur-wait a second! Why am I checking it out? How about you check it out???" Sukuna yelled.

"Because you're the curse!" Yuji whispered.

"And you're the sorcerer!" Sukuna bites back. Yuji grumbles, "Yeah..but..I don't want to go out there alone..."

"Brat...we share the same body, mind you...I'm the King of Curses and you're scared of some creepy little doll?"

"It's not a just doll. It's Catnap!" Yuji hissed. Sukuna groans. Over a freaking doll. I swear to Buddha...'

"Just get Megumi and Kisho." Sukuna tells him. Yuji goes to do that, he leaves his room and is now onto the hallway. Yuji takes a breath and goes to knock on Megumi's door. "Fushigoro? Are you there?" The door creaks open making Yuji tremble a bit. He peeks in. Megumi isn't there, the room is dark. Where is Megumi?

Then a hand lays on his shoulder making Yuji scream in fright, backing up.

"Woah! Yuji! It's me!" Kisho said as Eito chirped on his shoulder. Yuji is gasping and taking breaths, looking at Kisho wide-eyed. "Don't scare me like that, Kisho!"

"Sorry!"Kisho apologizes, backing up with his hands up. "D-did you heard it too?"

"What?"

"The scratching. The weird noises." Kisho asked, looking scared.

Yuji nods, "Yeah I did." To which Kisho lets out a 'whew' and is glad that he isn't going crazy. "The one causing it is that cat," Yuji added.

"You don't mean...."

"What are you guys doing up?" A voice is heard and two boys scream and hug each other in terror. But the two blinked to see Megumi who is twitching an eye. "Do you have any idea what time is it? What in the world are you two doing?"

"Fushigoro!" Kisho and Yuji were smiling with relief. Yuji goes on to explain, "It's Catnap! He was outside my window, looking and staring at him!"

"What?" Megumi said.

"It's true! We have been hearing weird sounds. Scratching and other weird sounds! Eito says that there's something in the bushes outside our rooms" Kisho said.

"And outside! I saw Catnap!" Yuji said. "He had white glowing eyes and I saw him in the bushes!"

Megumi groans, "You two! You guys are allowing this to get to you!" He said.

"No! Sukuna says so! Sukuna saw it too and said it has cursed energy!" Yuji said.

"Then it's a cursed object." Megumi said. "Why didn't you said anything?" He questioned.

"Well..because..Sukuna says it's not a threat and it has leftover residue." Yuji answered. Megumi shakes his head, "Look...the doll is still there in the trash can. Let's get it and-"

"Get it?! All we know is that it's still out there and not in the trash." Kisho cuts him off. "We need to find it and exorcise it! Even Wilson is getting antsy!" He said as a goat lets a bleat.

Megumi frowns, "Then how are we supposed then..." A phone rings, and someone is calling him. Megumi takes his phone out and sees Nobara is calling. He answers and puts it in the speaker, "What's up?"

"Fushigoro! Something is outside my room! It had white eyes!"

"Oh god..." Kisho utters while Yuji widens his eyes.

"And it's purple! I think it's...there. Shit! We should have exorcised it. You and the other two guys gotta come over! NOW!" Nobara said urgently.

"Kugasaki, calm down! We-"

"It was outside Taz's room when she wasn't looking! She was talking to me and I saw it outside her window! I thought I was going crazy but...god...I saw it again!"

That was enough to get the boys over. The boys ran over to the girls' dormitory with Nobara waiting.

"Where's the doll?" Megumi asked.

"Is little sis okay?" Yuji asked, looking worried.

"And the girls?" Kisho added that he is also worried as well.

"Taz is sleeping like a log. Yuria and Miko are hanging out, talking with Hana on a video call. Both don't know what's going on. And I don't know where it is." Nobara said. "I'm freaking out while trying to stay calm and I don't want to freak the other three out." She said.

Megumi nods, "Okay." He goes to summon his divine dog and tells his shikigami to find it. The dog went outside but nothing. The dog whimpers. Eito chirps.

"Eito says something was here but it isn't here anymore. Totality can't find it." Kisho said.

"Where did it go?" Yuji asked.

"What are you guys doing?" The four became startled and looked to see Yuria in her pajamas. "Oh hey! Yuria! What's up?" Kisho laughed.

"Okay? But what are you three doing here?" She asked, raising a brow at them. Who is going to tell her that Catnap is here on campus?

"Oh! Nobara asked us because...there's a roach."

Nobody. The four would rather keep this under wraps before creating a widespread panic that Gojo-sensei brought a creepy doll that is the infamous Catnap that is now on the loose.

"A roach?" Yuria asked, almost looking disgusted. "Yeah! She called us in because she saw it and she called us so you three don't have to worry about it!" Kisho explained. Megumi and Yuji nodded in agreement, going with this story.

"Yeah, it's true! It was so nasty! It had wings!" Nobara said.

"Ugh! Gross! Did you two catch it?!" Yuria asked.

"Eito did!" Kisho grins as Eito chirps in confirmation. Yuria sighs, "Oh that's good then. I don't think I want to see a roach." She said. "Never mind a cursed one." She gagged. "Anyway! I'm glad you three are here!" She smiles.

"Hahahaha! Yeah! No problem! We guys always want to help the ladies!" Kisho smiles. Yuria laughs but then thinks, "Well..I hope you get rid of the rats too. We were hearing sounds." Yuria sighed.

"Rats?"

"Yeah scratching sounds but Miko's shikigami scared them off." Yuria shrugs. "Not a big deal. I can handle rats than roaches."

That's concerning but Kisho doesn't want to show. "That's great! Let us know if it continues!" He smiles. Yuria nods and heads back, "Night!" She said, closing the door behind her.

"Oh god...this thing is now stalking us.."Kisho's voice is now trembling. "We gotta do something! We need to do something! I think it wants vengeance!"

"Vengeance?!" The three repeated.

"Think about it, we throw it not once but twice then we throw it in the trash, and call it all sorts of names! I mean...what if it's a kid turned into a toy like Hana says and we all treat it like crap. Now it wants payback and this is just beginning- and, and-oh god...it's going to come for us ALL-" A smack is heard.

Kisho was slapped across the face by Megumi who then grabbed his collar, "Pull yourself together, Kisho!" He shakes his him, "We're going to find the doll and get rid of it properly! We're not going to die, okay?!"

"M-megumi is right!" Nobara nodded. "We all need to calm down. It's just the doll wants us to freak out and we can't give it what it wants!" She said.

"Yeah! It's just one doll! We're jujutsu sorcerers!" Yuji exclaimed. Kisho blinks and nods, "Right. We're jujutsu sorcerers! We won't let this doll get to us!"

"That's the spirit!" Nobara grins.

"Yeah! We're going to make sure that Catnap doesn't get to Taz." Yuji said. Kisho nods, "And Miko and Yuria!" He said. Okay, time to find Catnap now. They will search from top to bottom to find it. So far, Totality barks, and Eito chirps.

Both Shikigami found it and are tracking it down to the classroom. The classroom where they left the bag.

"Is it here?" Megumi asked. Eito chirps, conversing with Totality to which he lets out a small grunt. "Eito says It is here..." Said Kisho. They looked around but the room was dark so Nobara went to turn on the light since it was too dark.

The light is on and they look for everywhere. But Catnap isn't there. The only thing they can see is the board. It was written in chalk with a scribbling message.

"I was Here."

Eito squawks.

"I know, I know. No need to freak out." Kisho said. "What is Eito saying?" Megumi asked. Kisho translates, "Eito says he has been here!" He said.

Yuji glares, "This thing is messing with us!" He said. Nobara sighs.

"Tell me about it!" Kisho said with his back turned, looking at the board. The three widen their eyes and Eito widen his eyes at this. "I mean....he must been here to send us a message and have us-"

"Kisho..." Nobara's tone became weird as if she was scared.

"What?" Kisho blinked.

"Your back." Yuji begins.

"My back?"

"It's on your back!" Nobara screamed. On Kisho's back, there is a purple thing on his back and stuck on them. Catnap slowly turns its head and looks at the three with its' grin and black beady eyes.

"What's on my back?! Guys?!" Kisho yelled, asking.

"Stay still, Kisho." Megumi said lowly. "Do. Not. Move." He said. Kisho wondered what it was on his back then he felt something crawl on his back. Kisho felt something on his shoulder and he looks from the corner of his eye. He sees Catnap who cackled.

"AAAAH!"

"Kisho! Stay still!" Megumi yelled. "STOP MOVING!"

"GET IT OFF! OH GOD GET IT OFF! IT'S CRAWLING UNDER MY SHIRT!" Kisho is crying as Catnap is now under his shirt, moving everywhere. Nobara goes to hit where Catnap is but ends up hitting Kisho instead.

"NOBARA! OW!"

"Hold still then!!" Nobara gritted her teeth, holding her toy hammer. Then Yuji kicks him in the back and sends him to the floor, thinking he got Catnap.

"OW! YUJI!" Kisho cries.

"I'm SORRY!" Yuji cried.

"God damnit!" Megumi goes to pull Kisho's shrit up and Catnap isn't there. The light flickers.

Totality let out a bark and all four sees Totality brought down and snores with Catnap on top.

"What the fu-" Megumi is cut off as Catnap leaps. Leaps on top of Yuji's head. The pink-haired teen screams, "AAAAHH!"

"Oh god, oh god, oh god!" Kisho yelled as they saw Catnap on top of Yuji's head and bonking on him. "SOMEONE GET IT OFF!" Yuji screams while the Catnap lets out a gaggling sound as if it's having fun at their expense. It's hard to get Catnap off Yuji. Even Sukuna is yelling, "YOU DAMN PEST! HOW DARE YOU LAUGH?!"

"Shit shit! Hold still! HOLD STILL!" Nobara said having nails in her hand.

Eito is squawking at it and starts to peck but the cat wraps its long tail and flungs him across the room, hitting Megumi in the face.

"EITO!" Kisho collects Eito from the floor and Megumi has enough.

Fuck this.

He tightens his fists into balls and lifts them both as if he was driving. What the? Kisho blinked. That's a hand gesture he never saw. What is this? Then Megumi shouts,

"With this treasure, I summon!- "

Then Catnap leaps from Yuji's head and onto Megumi's face. Kisho and Nobara were in shock as Megumi screamed, "DAMNIT! GET THIS LITTLE SHIT OFF ME!" He bumps into a couple of desks and chairs while Catnap is on his face.

"MEGUMI! STOP MOVING!" Kisho said as he saw Catnap trying to wrap his long tail around his neck but then Itadori stepped in after recovering from the bonks, "I got this!"

And makes the biggest mistake of his life, Itadori grabs the tail and pulls it.

"Pchit" A spray is heard silencing everyone.

The spray hits directly on Megumi's face. Everyone sweatdropped.

"ITADORI!" Megumi shouted.

"I'M SORRY!" Yuji cried, now crying and Megumi grabbed the back of Catnap and threw it across the room. The toy crashes through some books. Kisho and Yuji go to Megumi, "Are you okay! I'm so sorry!" Yuji apologized.

"I'm fine!"Then Megumi winces, "Damn it...that thing sprays me with something, and now...I felt...fuck.."

"You're saying that spray really puts people to sleep?!" Kisho said in disbelief as Yuji got Megumi, apologizing over and over. A gaggle is heard and Catnap emerges from the pile of books now, he then crawls over to them on fours. As if its scary sounds weren't enough, white eyes are looking at them. The eyes almost look human.

"GET TO THE CHOPPA!" Kisho shouted.

"WE DON'T HAVE A CHOPPER!" Yuji yelled.

"GET ON THE DESK!" Nobara cried.

All four are getting on the teacher's desk as the Catnap quickly crawls on fours towards them like a quick cockroach while making gaggling and laughing sounds. Megumi is coughing due to the spray while the three are freaking out, holding each other.

"Why did anyone make this thing?!" Nobara cries. "What is wrong with America?!"

"This thing is a curse! A CURSE!" Yuji yelled.

"What are we going to do?!" Kisho said, now crying.

"Can you calm down?! We need to figure out a plan! This thing is no lower than a grade 2!" Megumi said before coughing. "Fuck! Damn thing spray into my mouth!"

"I'm so sorry!" Yuji cried. Sukuna groans, "A plan?! You just need to squash this little infernal thing! And now it's laughing at us with that shit-eating grin!" He yelled as the Catnap lay there like a cat, not moving an inch only his eyes. Which is creeping them out.

"AND IT IS STARING AT US!" Kisho said while Eito was comforting them.

"What the fuck is wrong with you all? You're sorcerers and you're scared of this thing?!"

"Did you not watch the video?!" Nobara cried. "It brought down Megumi and his shikigami!"

Catnap lets out some red gas from his mouth in response, startling them.

"I'm still conscious. you know!" Megumi frowned. "And Sukuna is right! We are not going to get beaten by this thing! Now you pull yourselves together and -"

Footsteps are heard and a sliding door to the classroom slides open. "Guys? Is everything okay? I heard yelling!" Said the familiar petite with the orange marks on her right cheek.

At the doorway, it's Taz. Everyone froze. Not only Taz, but Miko and Yuria.

"What's going on? Y-you were all yelling." Said Miko.

"Yeah! What the heck-what is that?!" Yuria begins as he points at Catnap who turns its head at the girls. Taz Miko and Yuria blinked and pales, both took a huge step back.

Oh no! This is the worst! Nobara said.

"Get out of here!" Megumi shouted at the girls.

Catnap goes to crawl over to where Taz is. Taz looks at the Catnap and blinks her eyes at it. Catnap stays and looks up at her in silence. Taz stares at it.

"Sis!" Yuji said, now scared for her. The girl clasped her eyes and smiled with imaginary hearts coming off. "Awwww so cute!" Taz smiles. She walks then goes to pick up Catnap and pets it. Catnap purrs while Taz giggles.

Everyone suddenly faces fault, falling to the ground and twitching.

DID SHE SAID CUTE?!

"LIL SIS! NOOOOO!" Yuji cried so dramatically.

"That's cute?!" Megumi questioning Taz right now.

Kisho cries. "She has been brainwashed!"

Even Yuria and Miko were befuddled by this. Everyone can't believe what they're hearing! Taz giggles while Catnap mews.

"Yo! I came back!" Gojo-sensei arrives back, "I brought snacks!" Then he looks around, "Wow! What happened here?" He said, perplexed by this.

"Gojo-sensei! Look!" Taz said, holding up Catnap. Gojo smiles. "Oh! You found the present! I was meant to give it to you but my mission went on! Did you like it?"

"Uh-huh!" Taz smiles.

"Taz! Do you have any idea who that is?!" Nobara asked, questioning Taz's mental state.

"Well...yeah...but he looks so cute for some reason! He looks like a cat, he smells like lavender and flowers and he is so fluffy!" She said. "As long as you don't pull the tail, it's fine!" She goes to stroke Catnap's chin to which the doll purrs under her touch. To the others, Catnap looks like a creepy doll but to Taz, he looks so adorable in chibi kawaai form.

Even Kinie is questioning this.

"I'm going to take him to my plushie collection!" She said, now skipping away while holding Catnap to her chest with a giggle. The four see Taz holding Catnap where they can see his face.

They see his eyes narrow at the four with a mischievous glint of his white eyes, letting them know silently this is far from over.

Gojo laughs, "Wow! Can't believe she likes it! I thought the doll was a little creepy. But looks like she really likes it, I'm glad."

Upon hearing this, the five looked at their teacher with a look. Gojo blinked, "What is it?"

They exploded.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!" Nobara yelled.

"THAT THING IS A NIGHTMARE!" Kisho shouted while holding a crying Miko.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING OF BUYING THAT FOR TAZ!" Yuji cried. "NOW SHE JOINED THE DARK SIDE!"

"HOW COULD YOU!" Yuria said.

"THAT THING SPRAY ME!" Megumi shouted. "Oh come on! She likes it! What's the problem?!" Gojo said, having his hands up.

"The problem is that you gave her a cursed doll!" Megumi said. Gojo stood there. "I mean...how is that different from when the principal gives her one?"

"UGGH!" The students groaned meanwhile Taz added her newest addition to the collection. "Good night, Catnap~! X3" She tells him.

Catnap purrs happily and goes to sleep soundly.

One heck of a night.

After being kidnapped, Fosh and Mouse wakes up to see they were in some unknown place. Wrists tied and looking like they were trapped. However, a familiar face was seen startling the hackers. BLT has been the one that kidnapped them and now he's ready to do some experimenting. Now the hackers are on the run from this man. Wanna know how it goes? Read to find out.

((Guests in this drabble))

Jellyfish belongs to my rp partner/friend @demon-blood-youths

Mouse belongs to me and a guest visit from BLT a NPC villain from a old thread will be showing up.

((Just a heads up: Grammar is not good and their will be heavy mistakes but this was written for fun so please enjoy. ))

Heavy panting was heard in the hallway of this place with Fosh and Mouse running to get away from BLT. This place was pretty dark with light dim lighting and their was many electronics around. However, that was not important! They had to get away from him before he catches them!

"We need to find a way out of this hallway! Maybe we can find a computer to contact someone!" he said running even with their wrists tied together with rope still.

"I know we should find something hopefully but we need to get rid of these ropes!" she said but as the two get to a door, she tries to open it only to see it locked.

"Damn locked!" she said struggling trying to open it but Fosh was trying to help her to hear some laughter from behind them. Both Fosh and Mouse looks seeing BLT rushing towards them.

"Come back my beautiful new toys!!! I just wanna cut into you and rip you to bits!" he laughed but the two looks around trying to find a way out till Fosh noticed another door to grab Mouse by the arm to gently push her to the right. "Here, go in here!" He said as the two run into a door but they quickly shut the door and lock it behind to move away from the door. BLT looks around in that area but he was looking seeing his normal machines to laugh.

"Ohhh new toysssssss come out, come out, where ever you are....." He sings out looking around in the hall but didn't know they ran into the right room. Fosh and Mouse was quiet hiding behind a wall but they held their breaths, feeling their hearts pounding in their chests.

"........."

"........"

Fosh and Mouse looks seeing the small window in the door but their was some lights flickering but they didn't say anything to tense seeing BLT's shadow before hiding again. Fosh was scared but he looks away to see they were in some room but it was bigger. The room had screens with static or just turned off. A table was there with something laying on top. Some surgical tools sitting in water that was bloody. Seeing all this made Fosh pale but he slowly didn't want to know before Mouse keeps looking seeing BLT's shadow slowly walking off. She lets out a shaky breath to see that but closes her eyes.

"Geez, that was too close.." she softly said nervous. "Come on Fosh, we need to keep moving to get out of here." she reaches to touch his shoulder as he grabs her wrists to look ahead.

"M..Mouse....." she looks down to him but then looks at what he was seeing. Her own eyes widen seeing the room but it looks to be some lap.

"W..what is this?" she asked disturbed to see the area even the blotches of blood as well. The two hackers looks around but this place already gave bad vibes. The two slowly shook their heads looking around to try finding a way out. They step forward into the lab passing the bloody mess of tools and items even the table with something laying on it. The thing looked human judging by the form. However, when checked closely, she sees blood blotches on the sheets and even more at the top.

"......D..do you think that's.." Fosh started to say but Mouse was too nervous to answer. "......Mouse?"

"..I..I don't know but I get this sick feeling of my answer being true..." she looks away but looks to Fosh. "C...come on, we need to keep moving." she said as the two hackers walk but they did see a knife near by so Mouse carefully reaches to pick it up and start trying to cut Fosh's ropes loose. He waited not looking around this place but he did see the ropes cut rubbing his wrists that showed some rope burn. He then takes the knife to start cutting Mouse's ropes.

He was focused on cutting the ropes but Mouse was worried, feeling his hands shaking. He was scared and she was too. They were not expecting to be in this mess and yet here they are.They couldn't even do anything thanks to the shots BLT gave them so they were powerless but for how long? When he was done freeing her, Mouse gently takes his hand to have Fosh look.

"Fosh?"

"........"

"Fosh..Look at me..." she sees him slowly look up. "Trust me, I'm scared as fuck myself because I was not expecting this to happen. But believe me, we will get out of this..." she said hoping to help calm him down but even he was worried.

"I know I just......*Sighs* I'm just shocked that crazy psycho has been trying to find us all this time and now he wants to cut us up....that's just wrong. So fucking wrong.." he shudders and yet Mouse rubs her arms thinking the same.

"Well, as I did warn back then when we did that mission, he is always like that. But we did stop him from doing damage to the cyber world Fosh but now..seems he's been busy. But right now, we have to keep away from him and find a way out. We can't let him catch us." she knew that if he did, they would be fucked. For now, they had to keep moving.

"R..right..right..." He sighed but he saw Mouse look at him but takes his hand. They keep moving through the lab together now passing more of the tables near by. More things were drenched in blood but the two passed a certain one to tense. A human hand was seen under the sheet but their fingers were missing. Mouse and Fosh said nothing but they slowly keep moving not wanting to look anymore. As they pass more tables, more body parts were seen with some mission or in jars and tubes. Just what the hell was BLT doing? Kidnapping hackers to rip them apart? Or was it for something worse. As they keep walking, the two hackers stop seeing a door!

"Oh thank god. We can get out of this lab. Come on Fosh." she said gently pulling him as they get to the door. They get to the door but sees that it was unlocked. Mouse and Fosh look at one another then looks to reach to grab the door handle and turning it. The creek of the door was heard as the two look seeing another room but two more doors.

It was dark in this room with the only light from where they are showing inside. Both the hackers walk through but Mouse begins looking for a light to turn on. Fosh looks to help as the room even smelled horrible.

"Did you find the light switch?" she asked.

"Not yet...it should be around here somewhere...wait..I think i found it." He felt something near his fingers and flips the switch. However, he wished he didn't as a bright light turns on making Mouse and Fosh shield their eyes. They wince from the light but slowly lowers their arms with their eyes wincing a little. The light was not as bad but they slowly open their eyes that slowly looks to see the room.

Right away, Fosh and Mouse's eyes slowly widen in shock and horror. This was BLT's work office but they saw a teenager sitting in a chair but their face was hidden by a cloth. Wrists and Ankles chained to the chair but their head was cut open. Wires, needles, and other things were inside of his brain while he appears to be dead. BLT was even ripping bits and pieces of brain tissue from the other but the teen was already dead.

"....." Fosh's eyes were wide but he suddenly felt sick to cover his mouth to puke on the ground coughing with tears in his eyes. What the hell was wrong with BLT!?

'O..Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god....' he said this in his mind over and over but Mouse's eyes were wide. Horrified of what BLT did that she was crying shaking.

'S..so it was true. He does this to hackers just to find secrets in their minds? This is...this is so wrong...' she thought shaking afraid. She wished she could just change into a bird or something and get both her and Fosh out of here but she couldn't do anything yet. Neither can him.

This must have been where he's experimented on other hackers explaining different body parts, organs, blood, brain tissues in jars and tubes. This was just insane and sick!!!!

Mouse shook where she stood but she was at a loss for words. However, she reaches to rest her hand on Fosh's back. "W...w...we need to leave...Fosh, come on. We gotta move." she said trying not to cry but Fosh was too paralyzed in horror to move.

"........"

"F...Fosh? Fosh, come on. We gotta move.....please.." She slowly grips his sweater as he snaps out of it to look at her but saw something. She was crying. She wanted to leave this room before that monster finds them. Letting out a shuddered breath, he slowly stood and helps Mouse on her feet.

"Y..Yeah..l..lets g..go.." he said as the two was about to leave.

"Ahhh so this is where you both been."

"!?" Both Fosh and Mouse quickly look seeing BLT there. He found them! His sick smile was seen on his face as both Mouse and Fosh turns to run only for them to ram through the door to run again. However, he rushes to press his hand on the door to look down at the two scared teenagers.

"Heheh, I see you stumbled upon my little treasure room. Beautiful isn't it? Such a nice reward after getting the targets and scrapping through their brains finding more information to add." He smiled seeing Fosh and Mouse afraid as he smiled.

"Awww, don't be scared. I did say I wouldn't kill you yet....I rather break both of you piece by piece to see what makes you tick. I won't hurt you....." He grins but right away, Mouse and Fosh move away from him but Mouse grabs a metal pipe to point it at BLT who looks to blink.

"Just what the fuck is wrong with you!? How could you d..do this to innocent people!? To teenagers like us!?" she shouted but all he did was smile.

"Simple; for information. You young ones are fresher and ripe. It's more fun to rip someone apart when their at the right age. And with you two..your at the perfect age. I really wish to sink my knives into you both. Ripping you slowly and painfully....you should be honored.! I heard your both the best hackers in NYC so if I find out what makes you that way, I'll have even more information to become greater!"

"Y..Your insane!" Fosh said but BLT smiled.

"I know..now come on, let me have a little bit. I promise it will be not as painful." he steps towards them as the two back away from him. Mouse tightens her hold on the metal pipe but she was feeling sweat running down her face. This was bad! They had to find a way out of here and away from him!

BLT smiled seeing the fear in their eyes before he suddenly rushes towards them as Mouse swings the metal pipe to hit his face. BLT winces feeling his jaw break but he quickly cuts Mouse's side as she yelps to wince when getting punched.

Mouse slams into the wall holding her injury as she bleeds with Fosh hitting the table knocking some jars down. Glass scattering around when he heard a yelp. He looks seeing BLT holding Mouse down while laughing trying to attack her worse.

"MOUSE!"

"Get away from me you asshole!" she hissed trying to push him back but he was laughing still reaching and trying to make her lose strength. Seeing blood running down to the ground from the wound. He even hits the pipe and stabs her even deeper as she screams in pain.

"Stop fighting me my new beloved toy! Let me cut you up, slice up that delicate skin of yours. I need your brain to see what makes you tick! And when I do, I will do the same to your friend! Your both mine now!" he laughed as Mouse was struggling to push him away. Fosh looks left and right trying to find something to help her then noticed some broken shards of glass. Looking, he quickly reaches to grab it and rushes to help Mouse.

BLT laughed still trying to cut Mouse again and again while seeing her wince. "That's it! Your mine now!" He laughed about to cut her throat when something stabs into his side. He screams seeing a shard of glass in his side. He then gets kicked off by Mouse as Fosh helps her up as she was coughing.

"Mouse!! Mouse!" As he tries to help her, he felt something hit him in the back as he crashes to the table knocking it over.

"F..Fosh!" She sits up wincing in pain from the wound but she saw him gripping his arm feeling a deep cut.

As BLT tries to attack him, Mouse gets in front but she picks up a glass jar and throws it at him. It hits his face hard to knock him down before she looks to try helping him."

"I got ya Fosh, come on we gotta run!" She helps Fosh to his feet as they both ran to the door that leads to the outside! It looks to be some old abandoned building but they quickly run as BLT coughed from the injury. He growls to slowly stood up, yanking the glass out as blood drips from it. Looking at it to chuckle, he threw it to the side now following them. Both Fosh and Mouse kept on running to get away from this creep but Fosh stops seeing the edge of a small hill.

He was able to stop but Mouse accidentally crashes into him to make the two stumble and fall. They land into some boxes to wince in pain. However, they heard BLT's laughter to quickly run.

"COME BACK!!! COME BACK AND LET ME HAVE YOUR BRAINS! DON'T YOU FUCKING RUN AWAY FROM MEEEEEEE!!!!" The two kept running faster and faster, not wanting to get caught.

"Hey, come back! Don't run from me!!" he laughed only for the two to run faster. Mouse tried to use something or shapeshift into something but she still couldn't! Fosh was trying to teleport but still can't! Stupid serum was still in effect. They only could keep running! Getting away from that crazy killer as he was dead on their trail.

After a while, both Fosh and Mouse got to the end seeing a blocked off wall with bob wire as it was sparking. The two was worried but heard heavy panting seeing that BLT caught up. He looked like a bloody mess but the two were nervous not wanting him near them.

"You two really are something else...I love that! Now, lets keep playing. I wanna see just what you two can do!" He runs towards them but he saw them duck trying to run away. Seeing that, he quickly threw something to trip the two as Fosh and Mouse falls to the ground but he only laughed seeing them trying to move. He walks to stomp on their backs to keep them from running.

"Oh no no no. We can't have that! You two have played long enough..I'm growing more excited seeing you both squirm." his smile was scary but Fosh and Mouse was shaking trying to get away from him. Even with the blood they were losing, they were trying to move!

Chuckling, he reaches to grab Fosh and lift him up and he looks at him. "Maybe I should start with you. You seem pretty smart as the data tells. I wonder what your brain hides." he smiled seeing Fosh wincing trying to get him to let go.

"Let Fosh go! Let him go!" Mouse said hitting him but he back slaps her hard to see her hit the ground hard.

"M..Mouse!"

"This is so much fun! You both have such a spark in you! I love it!" He tightens his grip seeing Fosh wincing in pain. He was hurting him! Now kicking his feet, he was seeing him drag him into the ground and steps on Mouse who was twitching in pain. She was coughing but he keeps going.

"Mouse! Stop it! Stop your going to kill her!" he shouted.

"But that's the point! If I keep this going, I can knock her out and then your next! Just seeing her struggle and cry is nice! Your cries will be just as nice!" He laughed still going as Fosh was trying to make him stop. Till he tries to knee him in the face to get dropped. He quickly moves to cover Mouse while looking at BLT.

"Y..You st...stay away from Mouse! I won't let you hurt her!" he shouted but he kicks Fosh in the face to break his glasses as he walks over to stomp on his chest seeing him cough twitching.

"Heh, I'm going to enjoy breaking you too.." he smiled holding his knife to grip his braided hair. The blade was near his throat while seeing Fosh shaking with eyes closed. Some blood seen from his nose and chin.

"Though, maybe I need to see just how loud you scream too!" he laughed about to stab his throat when suddenly.......

A bomb explodes near by along with another that blinds BLT who roars to cover his eyes. He drops Fosh on the ground as he steps back rubbing them. "GUAAHHH! MY EYES! I CAN'T SEE!"

"Good, then you won't see this coming you fucking asshole!"

Wait, that voice sounds familiar...

Even if Fosh was blacking out a little, he saw a familiar red jacket but another short sleeve jacket who was holding a spear in the palm of her hands.

"Yeah, your dead you dead beat asshole!"

Fosh knew who it was. It was Navarro and Echo! But if they were here then that means...

More destruction was heard when a giant fire bursts from behind shaking the area as the sound of rushing feet was heard. A fight was happening from what Fosh could see but he was laying on the side to look ahead. He did hear muffled voices.

'Oh god Fosh! Mouse!! Opehlia! we need your help!!!'

'Mouse, wake up please! Your going to be alright please wake up!!'

'Their bleeding to death!? What the hell did this monster do!?'

'Nevermind that! We gotta get them away from here!'

So many voices..and yet he was too tired to figure out who was talking. He begins to feel his consious slip away when seeing someone near by shouting for him to stay with them.

'Fosh, stay with me!! you'll be alright! Fosh!!!!!'

"........."

~~~~~~~~~~Hours later in the mid afternoon~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun was up this time after a few hours but Fosh was resting in a bed bandaged up with his head turned to the side. Ophelia was watching over him worried since she was hoping he would wake up. However, he felt some of the sun shining on his face that he slowly turns his head to make Ophelia notice. Was he waking up?

"...F..Fosh?" She looks to see him hear her voice and turns his head to face her. His eyes slowly open to look seeing someone. For a moment, he saw a flash image of BLT to make him snap away and gasp sitting up but Ophelia gently held his shoulders.

"Easy! Easy Fosh!...it's alright...." she said as he was looking to see it was Ophelia. He didn't say anything but he was calming down to feel her keep him back on the pillow.

"..O..Ophelia? W..wha..."

"Fosh, thank god your awake. H..How are you feeling?" she sees him look at her then at himself seeing the bandages. He didn't say anything but he slowly turns to look at her.

"I....I guess I'm okay. Sore but....where are we?"

"Your back home. We were all so worried about you and Mouse after finding out you both were kidnapped. You were gone for two weeks..." she said but Fosh looked shocked.

"T..two weeks? W..we were gone for that long?"

"Yes. When you both didn't come back that night, we got worried and went to look for you. Thanks to Fin, his fraction was able to track your phones and saw they were smashed. It told us someone kidnapped you and Mouse. However, we were about to find you thanks to Echo and Navarro making a tracker device..."

"......." Fosh couldn't believe it but that left him wondering, if he was here then...He quickly looks worried in a panic.

"W..wait, then where's Mouse!? Is she here!?" he tries to sit up but Ophelia stops him.

"Calm down Fosh Please!"

"But...But Mouse! She was badly hurt as I was! Please..i..is she alright!? Is she.."

"Calm down.....she's alright. Mouse is sleeping over there...." She said looking to the right. Fosh looks but saw someone else in bed asleep. Also bandaged up, Mouse was asleep.

"......S...Has she woken up?"

"No. She was tired as you were so your the first to wake up. I was able to treat her and you and get rid of whatever was in your systems from what that..guy injected into you. For now, your too weak to heal yourself so I suggest some bed rest for a few days." she said but Fosh looks down at his lap but looks down gripping the blanket.

"Here, if you want, I can let you rest up. I'll come back to check on you later Fosh Okay?"

"O..Okay.." seeing that, Ophelia goes to tell the others Fosh was awake but as she leaves, he was looking quiet then at Mouse. She was sleeping quietly on the other bed but she was resting so that was good. He didn't know why but seeing her like this was painful. He didn't like seeing anyone of his friends hurt. That goes for Mouse too.

For now, he lays back while looking up at the ceiling but his upper face was hidden as he bit his bottom lip with tears running down his cheeks. That was a horrible night for both her and him.

For now, he just can rest and prays Mouse wakes up. But one thing is for sure: he hopes they never remember that night ever again.

Blog introduction!

Hiya folks, my name is Ria, and this is where I brain-splurge all my feelings into various fics and drabbles [:

This blog is going to be where I post snippets of what I’m working on, links for chapters and new fics I’ve done, and where people can request things and interact with me.

My inbox is always open for requests, I will try to write whatever you want, but if it's shipping, I work best with SFW stuff, and while I'll consider NSFW, it will be highly contextual.

My masterlist is under the cut [:

Anything for you: A DSMP/OC request book. (You can request your own OC or yourself with any character you like, including rpf (antis come at me, this is comforting for some people to read about their favourite streamers giving them a hug), although I will use names (I don't use y/n) and descriptions.

the dead house: based on the goosebumps episode 'The Dead House', the Craft family move to a little town in the middle of nowhere... (dark fic, some explicit violence, and horror)

never love an anchor - soft peer pressure duo bonding and way too much worldbuilding

the hunger bar games - hunger games au, SBI centric, featuring lots of trauma [:

How about number 25 for the ficlet requests?

"Can I touch you?" from this fic drabble ask.

Happy Birthday @postalninja ! 🥳 We're so happy to celebrate this milestone birthday of yours. Thank you for being such a great pal and a wonderful part of our little fandom! We love you!

She found herself sleepless as harsh rain battered the windows and thunderous clouds roared against the night sky. The old, creaky bed and scratchy sheets felt inhospitable and left much to be desired.

Unwilling to toss and turn once more, Diana rises, bare feet against the hardwood floor as she slides her silk robe over her shoulders. Perhaps a glass of whiskey and a few chapters of her new book will set her mind at ease.

The safehouse is still, despite the rambling weather outside. She stops short of the kitchen when lightning cracks in the sky and a flash of light illuminates the living room. It reveals that she isn't the only sleepless figure there.

Shirtless, 47 stands by the window, with the curtains drawn back as he looks off into the stormy night. He turns his head to catch a glimpse of her, before looking back out the window again. His presence surprised her but it didn't scare her. She was never one to scare easily.

The antidote had taken its toll on him. He had been quieter than usual, more restless than usual. He frequently drifted off into deep thought, lost in the painful pantomime of his early years as they unfolded in his mind.

"Unable to sleep, 47?" She walks over to the window to join him.

He nods in response, eyes fixated on the clouds.

"No rest for the wicked, I suppose," she concludes as she looks out on the street too. Pools of rain water violently splash as the clouds continue to hammer down. She turns her head to observe him and yet another crack of lightning fills the room.

As her eyes drop, she furrows her brow, fixated on his midsection. He turns his head, catching her mid-stare.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't stare," she starts. "I just... don't remember that one." She motions to an old old scar of his, under his pectoral muscle.

He looks down, brushing a thumb over the bit of warped skin. His eyes visibly searching the night for an answer.

"2013, South Dakota. The Saints. Bullet wound." He recites from memory.

"Ah."

"It never healed quite well," he continues palpating the scar, "the muscle beneath feels odd."

"May, I? She asks, reaching out her hand slowly so as to not surprise him, "touch you?"

He looks down at her hand and then up at her face. He nods, moving his arm out of the way. Her fingers slowly brush against the patch of marred flesh, tracing the ridges and small craters in the skin.

"Does it hurt?"

"No," he responds.

"And this one?" She asks as she slowly places her finger tips on his arm, above his elbow. She softly strokes a series of faint, small scars that connect.

"2004, San Diego. King, the dog." he looks at Diana, "That one is self explanatory."

"Sinistra's dog," she recalls, mesmerized. "The mail man's uniform was a poor choice in disguise."

He nods yet again, now pointing just below his shoulder. "Do you remember this one?"

She lifts her hand, running her fingers over the dark bit of scar tissue. She frowns, shaking her head.

"2003, Romania. Malcolm Sturrock. Knicked me with his cleaver."

She thinks for a moment. "The meat king's brother, I do remember that one," she says as she continues to softly trace the scar with the pad of her finger. "There were no cameras then. I could only listen in horror when you opened that door and surprised him."

There's a moment of silence as they think of those early days, when they were so limited by the technology available.

She's a bit bolder as she gently brings her finger tips up and just beneath his jawline, softly angling his chin upwards. "And this one?"

The faint scar isn't easy to spot. "2016, Paris. It was patch of uneven pavement along the Seine. I fell from my bike."

She huffs a small laugh, and it earns a small smile from him in return. She finds it easy to lose herself in his eyes, like selenite, sparkling against the night sky.

It's a rare moment of vulnerability for him. Like a knight who has laid down his weapon and discarded his armour, he bares his battle scars in the safety and comfort of her presence. She doesn't take this privilege for granted, especially when so many of these happened during missions she had assigned him.

Her hand lingers on his jawline for a bit too long, and so she starts to pull it away. He quickly captures her hand and returns it to his cheek, resting his own hand over hers. She brings her other hand up, to properly cup his face.

"You've been through a lot," she admits.

"We both have," he softly corrects.

She leans upwards, pressing their foreheads together, thankful to still be together after 20 years of ups and downs.

Okay a Hotch whump drabble idea just bc the latest one has inspired me, I don’t know if Sean would visit again after that whole adoption fiasco but maybe there’s a phone-call or something (a situation where Sean basically rejects Aaron completely) and he’s in his room and Alex checks on him and he gets to the point where he says ‘why does nobody want me’, unbeknownst to them Spencer’s been eavesdropping and he crashes into the room like ‘I WANT YOU!’ And then Alex and Spencer comforting Aaron (maybe when Aaron is asleep Spencer can say something like ‘nobody wanted me either until I came here and you guys found me, but we found Aaron too! Why doesn’t he know it yet?’)

oof my whole heart

this actually ties really well into the 18k word backstory oneshot I wrote with Aaron (but haven’t posted yet) and the Spencer backstory oneshot I’m currently working on.

(and it ties perfectly into the last chapter of Patron Saint. which should be getting updated on Thursday!)

———

“Alex, you’ve got to talk to him.”

She blinked in confusion. “Who am I talking to?” she asked as she opened the cover of anther return.

Derek glanced around, making sure no one was listening. “Hotch,” he said in a low voice. “He’s been in a shitty mood all day and it’s only getting worse.”

Alex frowned. “I haven’t seen talked to him since lunch,” she said. She glanced around Derek from her vantage point at the circulation desk; she could see Hotch sitting on the couch with the rest of the group, his textbooks still closed as he tapped at his phone. “Do you think he’s sick again?”

“I don’t think so,” Derek said. “Not this time.” He shoved his hands in his back pockets. “I think he’s sad about something, but it’s coming out angry.”

Alex bit her lip. “I’ll talk to him,” she promised. “Spencer’s doing okay though, right?”

“Yeah, he’s fine, little man is playing with Penny’s Nintendo,” Derek said.

“And doing badly?”

“Oh, it’s horrible. I didn’t know it was possible to fuck up Animal Crossing that bad.”

Alex laughed. “Let me make some headway on these returns and then I’ll come check on him,” she said. “Let me know if anything changes.”

Derek nodded and headed back to the group. Alex picked up another book. The sophomores had just finished their research papers for history class, which meant they all returned their sources at the same time.

A notification lit up on her phone; she paused to pick it up and check it. She didn’t use social media that often but the other kids sure did, and Emily had tagged her in half a dozen memes on Facebook.

Absently she scrolled through her feed, and then froze.

Aaron Hotchner was tagged in a comment.

It didn’t make sense, Hotch used social media less than any of them. But she stared at the photo and the caption and the comments with growing horror.

We welcomed our sweet boy into our home three years ago, but today it’s official! This morning the judge signed the papers and Sean is officially a Eubanks. While the circumstances surrounding his adoption are tragic, and we will always miss my sister Elizabeth, I know that adopting her baby boy as our own is exactly what she would have wanted. Mommy and Daddy love you so much, Seanie!

Hotch’s younger brother grinned in the photograph with their aunt and uncle on either side of him, posed in front of the judge. At least a hundred people had liked the picture, and dozens of comments congratulated the new family. Someone had commented “too bad Aaron couldn’t be there!” with his name highlighted in the tag, but his aunt hadn’t replied.

Alex dropped her phone in her pocket and left the desk, abandoning the books. “You,” she said, startling Hotch enough that his phone slipped from his hand.

“Why?” he asked, glaring up at her.

“Because I said so. Come here.”

He rolled his eyes and pushed himself off the couch. Alex took him by the sleeve, dragged him into her office, and closed the door. “Are you okay?” she demanded.

“Why would I not be okay?” he asked.

“Because you-“

“I’m not sick,” he said flatly. “I just didn’t sleep well last night.”

“But I saw-“

“I’m really not in the mood for you to fucking mother me to death, so if you don’t mind, I have homework to do,” he snapped as he turned towards the door.

“Aaron!” she said. “I saw.“

He froze, his back to her.

She took a deep breath and lowered her voice. “I saw,” she said again. “I saw the photo, and the caption, and everybody saying congratulations.”

He didn’t move.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I’m so sorry.”

He was quiet for so long that she worried he hasn’t heard her.

“They didn’t even let me there,” he said in a small voice. “I knew they were going to…but I thought…I thought they’d at least invite me.”

Alex stepped behind him in and slipped her fingers around his wrist. “I know,” she said softly.

“They changed his name,” he said. “Not that…not that I even wanted this name, but we don’t even have the same last name anymore.” Alex stroked the soft skin of his inner wrist. “He already called them mom and dad but…this is different. This is permanent.”

She could feel his pulse picking up, and when she tugged him to turn around he didn’t fight her. “I’m so sorry,” she said.

Aaron rubbed his eyes with the heel of his palm. “God, I don’t know why I’m so upset,” he said, a wet laugh breaking from his throat. “It makes sense. He doesn’t remember Mama, what he remembers of Dad is that he’s a piece of shit. They might as well adopt him.”

His eyes were red-rimmed and welling up. Alex squeezed his hand. “You’re allowed to be upset,” she said.

“It’s stupid.”

“Doesn’t matter.”

“Why didn’t they take me too?” he burst out. He dragged his hand over his face. “God, it’s so fucking stupid. I don’t even like them, I don’t want to be adopted, I’d fucking kill to have my mom back, but…why didn’t they take me too?”

Alex didn’t know how to answer. She held his hand in both of hers, smoothing her fingertips over his knuckles.

“And now Sean’s got a new family, and he needs me even less than he did before,” Aaron said bitterly. “God, why doesn’t…why doesn’t anyone ever want me?”

“I want you.”

Spencer peeked around the door, hazel eyes huge in his pale little face. Aaron’s shoulders hitched. “Yeah?” he said, his voice thick.

“Yeah,” Spencer said, still half hidden in the doorway as if he was afraid he’d said the wrong thing, and Aaron choked on a sob and held out his arms. Spencer closed the distance between them, wrapping his arms around his neck, and Aaron scooped him up in the tightest hug possible.

Alex kept one hand on Aaron’s back and the other on Spencer’s arm, trying to make sure that both of them were okay. She let Aaron cry quietly for a while, until she could feel his shaking start to subside.

At long last Aaron set Spencer carefully down on his feet. “Sorry,” he said, his eyes downcast and his face red and puffy from crying.

“You don’t have anything to be sorry for,” she said. She squeezed his arm. “Do you feel a little better?”

He nodded, wiping at his eyes. “I’m…I’m going to go wash my face,” he said. “You’re not going to tell the others about-“

“Not a word to anyone about anything,” she promised. She pulled him into a gentle hug and kissed his cheek. “But come talk to me when you need me, okay, Bubba?”

He sort of smiled at her. “Okay,” he said, and he slipped out of the room.

Spencer wrapped his arms around Alex’s waist and leaned against her. “Is be okay?” he asked quietly.

She brushed his curls back and kissed the top of his head. “He will be, baby, he just needs a little time,” she said.

“I don’t get it,” Spencer said, snuggling his cheek against her hip.

“Don’t get what, baby?”

“Nobody wanted me either until I got here,” he said. “But I figured out that you guys wanted me. Why hasn’t Hotch figured it out yet?”

Alex sighed heavily. “I think you were still hoping you could find a family,” she said. “But I think Hotch gave up a long time ago, and he still needs more convincing that he has us.”

first lines meme

I’ve been tagged by @sassaffrassa a million years ago.

Rules:  Share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able to and see if there are any patterns!

Oh, I tend to try and evoke as much mood/tone in the first sentence as possible for my one-shots and chapter fics. My ficlets and drabbles I try to go straight for the action. Usually.

The Hare and the Heart

Witcher Wild Hunt | Weavess & Ciri | Explicit | dreams and nightmares. Dead Dove. | ~2500w

The memory-inside-a-dream is full of nostalgia, it’s a delicious taste of stomach acid tingling in her mouth.

Transplanted Heart (Uprooted Remix)

TWN | Eskel/Geralt | Explicit | Leshen Eskel, canon divergent show/book AU ~2k | WIP

“I didn’t think I’d ever see you again, let alone see you like this,” Maja said, eyeing him with a combination of sympathy and fascination. Eskel was no longer the witcher she had lain with. He was a mutated leshen with abilities that surpassed even the Queen that had originally infected him.

Coin Operated Boy

TWN | Jaskier | Mature | character study, crack treated seriously, body horror, body humor | 25k

It should have been a beautiful day. The sun was shining, Oxenfurt University was bustling with students in the pursuit of knowledge, and the autumn air was brisk on Jaskier’s cheeks. He was finally home. But it wasn’t a beautiful day. Jaskier was exhausted and currently being escorted to the history department by two sour-faced men of secretive repute.

Bedside Manner

TWN | Jaskier & Shani | Teen | 2500w

Jaskier woke up to a boot gently nudging him, and he resented consciousness immediately.

Obedience Training

Witcher Video Games | Iorveth/Roche | Mature | Red Rider Iorveth & Hound of the Wild Hunt Roche | 1k

As Iorveth was about to depart on a mission, he was abruptly summoned by the commander of the Red Riders to meet him at the kennels.

Medley

TWN/Witcher video games | Jaskier/Roche | Explicit I PWP | 100w

“Fu-uuck,” Jaskier says into Roche’s neck, repeating the curse with different number of syllables each time he slams himself down on Roche’s cock, “just a little more—” he pleads, as if Roche could do anything but groan from the heat and tightness of Jaskier’s ass, like he isn’t clutching Jaskier’s hips, repeating shit, shit, shiiiit, like he’s playing a dirty fucking medley with the bard.

Acquired Taste

TWN/Witcher Video Games | Jaskier/Roche | Teen | 661w

Roche is drifting in a postcoital fugue when a weight on his chest rouses him. He cracks open an eye. Jaskier is balancing a flask on his chest, careful not to let it topple with the rise and fall of Roche’s breath.

Bonus two-sentence drabble:

In the echoes of destiny and choice

TWN | Geralt/Yen/Jaskier | Mature | cuddling & snuggling | 100w

She used to think it would be suffocating to be loved like this—burrowed deep beneath these blankets, comfortable and safe, happily living in the hearts of these men—with Geralt’s arm draped over her waist, his slumber peaceful and more potent than chaos, and Jaskier curled along her body, murmuring Yen’fer against her neck, banal and enchanting in its sweetness and domesticity; Yennefer drowsed in the warmth, pulling Geralt closer and kissing Jaskier’s forehead, and Jaskier’s hand slipped beneath her collar and cupped her breast, squeezing gently while he fell asleep. Yennefer breathed easily, her heart full and boundless.
