What Else Can I Do?

Azriel x Reader - Chapter 2

Here is Chapter 2! I got motivated seeing everyone liking the first chapter so I wrote chapter 2 as soon as I could. Enjoy!

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3

Summary: Reader ends up geting turned fae and befriends Elain and gets super close with her. But Reader notices Elain gets treated differently, and Reader would like to change that but a certain batboy always gets in her way of trying to help her friend and under her skin.

Word Count: 3.2 K (Sorry I had way to much fun with this one so it’s a long one 😅)

Warnings: Enemies to lovers, slight dislike for inner circle, dual POV 👀, fem! Reader, they just can’t get each other out of their heads

Author's Note: Soooo remember when I said Azriel and Reader will be interacting with one another?.... Yeah sorry that is not happening in this chapter. BUT don't be mad, Azriel is in this chapter he just hasn't "found" Reader yet. :)

Side Note: Apologies for any grammar mistakes. And yes I did listen to "What Else Can I Do" from Encanto as I wrote this.

You and Elain walk through the forest on the outskirts of Velaris, not going too deep so you guys can remember how to get back. The snaps of twigs is heard from under your boots. Your skirts perfectly covering your legs to stop tall blades of grass or sticks from scratching both of your skins. 

You take a deep breath in, smelling the crisp, tree trunk filled air, breathing in new life after being tucked away in the Town House for quite some time. The lush trees, grass, and needle-covered path reminds you of your home when you were a kid. You used to sneak off and play in the woods for hours with the other kids in the neighborhood. The nostalgic feeling puts a smile on your face. 

Elain stops walking and stares up and around her at the trees that seem to almost cover the sky above. You notice her eyes look at the scenery around with fondness. “Beats the boring walls of the Town House doesn’t it?” You ask playfully ask you walk over to her. She nods, “It certainly does.” She pauses for a moment until she looks at you. “Are you sure this is ok?” She asks with worryness in her voice. “I mean, like I know I said yes to this but now that we’re here I am worried what they will do if they find out.” You chuckle, “Hey, you can’t back out now. We are already here. Besides I did leave a note on the dining table saying we will be out and be back soon incase they do come back earlier. So they have no reason to freak out because I literally told them where we are.” You take a moment and your mind immediately goes to Azriel. “Well maybe Azriel will be a prick and throw a fit.” You roll your eyes and think of what he might say if he found out that you took Elain to the woods for a walk. 

You scowl, just thinking about how Azriel will yell at you for “taking a delicate girl with no supervision to the woods” and how “she could have gotten hurt”. It infuriates you that anything thing you do, you always think of what Azriel might say. He would always be the first to cross your mind when you would think of doing something or question yourself if you should be doing a certain thing. More than likely, you would end up doing whatever it was you were contemplating because it would rile you up just thinking about him telling you what you could and couldn’t do. Even if you knew what you were doing wasn’t the best choice, it was a choice he would disprove of and to you that is all that mattered. 

“Hey Azriel isn’t that bad.” Elain tried to say in a convincing tone to try and calm you down. You whip your head towards her with a glare in your eyes. The glare not directed at her but to who she was talking about. “Really?” You say unconvinced. “Azriel, the one who makes it his mission to scold me for almost anything for the simple fact that I don’t agree how he treats you. The same Azriel that doesn’t like me because I talk back to him when I am pretty sure he expects me to just nod my head and agree. The same person in which we can’t even sit next to each other in the same room or we start bickering about how the other one is sitting in the chair the wrong way.” Elain looks at you, at lost for words. You nod your head. “Yeah exactly. Sounds like he is a great guy.” You sarcastically say as you roll your eyes. 

Elain grabs your hand. “Hey, sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. I know you guys don’t see eye to eye.” She looks at you with her doe apologetic eyes. “Let’s forget about them for now. Like you said earlier, we are already here. So let’s continue on our walk and take in the scenery.” Her soft voice calming you down almost instantly. You release a deep breath. “Annnnnnd I want to see this improvement of your power that you told me.” Elain says with excitement. “Well it’s not really improvement, more like testing out what else I can do?” You state as a question. Elain wraps her arm around your elbow and starts to pull you along the forest path. “Well then, let’s find out!” 

——————————————————

You were getting frustrated, you frown at the lavender flower that you just grow from the ground. “Another flower”, you think to yourself. You huff as you stand up, looking at the different colored flowers and plants circling you in which you unwantedly grew. You have been at this for only 15 minutes, and even though that is not a very long time it felt like an hour past for you. “Maybe you just need a break?” Elain’s voice calls you out of your negative thoughts. She sat on a rock to the side a few feet from where you decided to sit on the forest floor. You walk over to her with your head down in defeat. “I don’t understand, I was able to make a small cactus in my room that one time but now it just seems like my power went back to making just pretty things.” You huff out as you plop yourself next to Elain on the rock. “Why did the Caldron give me the power to grow things when it can only grow pretty flowers, plants, and vines?!” You annoyingly say. “Like I can’t think of a reason why I won’t be able to grow like giant trees, or moss, or poisonous plants, or even venus fly traps!” You look at the sky hoping the Mother can give you an answer. “Maybe a special condition needs to be met?” Elain says in an encouraging voice. “Like maybe, you have to be meditating, or be fulled with anger. Something like that.” You look at her questionably. “I don’t think a “special condition” needs to be met. I was able to do it once before but now it just seems like the power is blocked somehow.” You try to explain to Elain. It frustrated you not knowing how you were able to grow the cacti some time ago and now you can’t. “Well what were you doing when you grew the cactus? Maybe whatever it was triggered the cactus to grow?” You sit there thinking hard on Elain’s question. You run through the memory again to try and find an answer, a clue as to what triggered the cactus to grow. 

It was early in the afternoon, you were sitting on your window sill looking out at Velaris. You did this sometimes where you would sit and just watch the city at any point in the day. There was no particular reason why you did it, you just enjoyed not having to think about anything and just watch the world move forward. You started fiddling with some vines you grew from your hands, twisting and turning them. You then started to add small flowers buds to the vines. The small buds slowly began to bloom into small flowers of a soft blue color. As you were growing new vines and flowers into the mix, you stood up from the window sill and began to pace slowly in your room as you concentrated on making a flower crown. As you were mindlessly making the crown you started humming a song. You don’t know what song, you just started to hum a tune. As you hummed, you mindlessly were growing this intricate flower pattern of blue and purple flowers. Not realizing that the vines sprouting from the crown were growing towards the floor of your room and started to spread across the floor. You were stuck in your own little world humming a song that you didn’t notice that on the floor one of the vines started to grow vertically, and started to take a different shape. It was only then when you finished making the flower crown and you finished humming the song that you noticed the little cactus with a small blue flower on top next to your feet. Your eyes widen, you never knew you could do that. Then you looked around the room and realized that you let your power go a little bit too much. Vines and flowers spread across the floor of the bedroom and up onto the walls. You did notice that the vines and flowers looked bigger than they normally should. You marveled at what you created and wanted to know if you could do more. 

You blink as you recall the memory of that day. Now thinking back, you did realize that you were very calm and you weren’t actually trying to grow anything at all. “I was just humming a song while mindlessly making a flower crown.” You begin to say to Elain. “I-I think I wasn’t really focussing on anything to be honest. I was actually in my own world subconsciously making the crown.” Elain thinks for a moment and then says, “Maybe that what it is then. Don’t think about it too hard and be relaxed.” You look at her with almost a confused puppy look in your eyes. “Well how do I do that? I can’t just not think about what I want to grow. And before you say meditate like you said before you know damn well I am bad at that.” Elain thinks for a moment, she then smiles and stands up pulling you with her. “Well you said you were humming a song. Then lets hum a song and dance together.” She says completely serious. You look at her not believing what she is suggesting because this is a little out of character for her. “Are you serious?” You question making sure you heard her right. “100 percent.” She nods and smiles at you. “Come on, you were the one saying that I needed to start being more confident in myself and being able to voice my opinion out loud. I think dancing and singing in the middle of the forest without a care in the world will help me let go of my… “delicate nature”. Plus it will help you relax and not think too hard on your power.” You look at her and seeing the determination in her eyes tells you she is super serious about this. 

You give her the biggest smile and giggle as you grab her hand and start to spin her around. Elain laughs and she continues to dance with you with no music. She spins you around and you guys continue this unchoreographed dance with smiles, giggles, and laughs coming from both of you. To have some fun you begin to throw flower pedals in the air like confetti and they fall down around both of you, some getting caught in your guys’s hairs. As you guys dance, jump, and spin, flowers begin to grow surrounding you guys coming from you as the centerpoint. You don’t realized it at first but once you do, you feel a slight weight of power being lifted like the locked door holding your power back was slowly getting unlocked. It felt like the flowers danced with you; they didn’t feel like you were forcing them to grow. It felt like they listened to what you wanted in the moment and obeyed you. You took a hold of that feeling and continued to run with it. As you did a hand full of cacti popped up from the ground. You and Elain stopped dancing and looked at the cacti with amazement. Joyous yells came from both of you, happy that the dancing worked. Who knew having a good a time could unlock a power? 

With the new found feeling of your power and determination in your eyes you grab a hold of that closed door on your power open it. The rush of energy rushed through you and it almost seemed your sensed were heighten even more. Everything, touch, taste, sight, smell, and hearing. But it was a different change to your senses. It’s like you could feel the sort of life energy flowing through the grass beneath your boots; it seemed like you could hear the trees dancing as the wind blew past, to the whispered song that the flowers sung. Nature smelled, different. Like more alive. You couldn’t explain it, but it felt like nature came alive and you could understand it. 

“Hey! Reader are you ok?” Elain tugs on your arm worry written on her face as she sees you starring off. You blink a couple of times, shaking off the shock of your unlocked power. You lift your hands up and in a few seconds an enlarged sapphire blue flower springs up from the ground. The massive size of the flower scares Elain and she stumbles back a few steps. After a few seconds it takes for Elain to recover, she stares at the flower and then at you. “Holy wow. You can do that?!” Elains voice laced with interest and excitement. She walks over to the massive flower, each pedal being her size, to get a better look up close. “I think I can a lot more than that.” You smile walking over to stand next to her. She turns to you intrigued, “Well then let’s see it. What else can you do?” 

——————————————————

Azriel POV 

Shadows disburse as Azriel lands on the balcony of the Town House in the late afternoon. He sighs, glad to be back in Velaris. The mission that Rhys sent him on not only took longer than it needed to take, but Rhys could have easily done it himself. But being High Lord is tiresome and requires a lot of work, so his attention was needed else were. 

Azriel steps into the Town House ready for a quick bath and a cup of tea to help the incoming headache that he knows will receive, before dinner is served. His mind on the warm bath he was thinking of taking was interrupted by the sound of heavy footsteps, a door swinging open, and a yell. “SHE’S NOT HERE!” Nesta’s worried and panicked voice echoes throughout the manor. 

Azriel stops in his tracks for a mear moment and briskly begins to walks in the direction of Nesta’s voice. His shadows start to swarm him, feeling their master’s concern over the commotion so they try to comfort him. “Whose not here? What happened?” Azriel thinks as he makes his way through the manor. 

Azriel follows the yelling and ends up at Elain’s bedroom. Standing at the entrance to her room with the door wide open Azriel sees Nesta panicked written face and Cassian standing next to her with a comforting hand on her shoulder to try and calm her down. “What’s wrong? Did something happen to Elain?” Azriel’s voice grabs the couples attention to see him take a few steps into the room. “We can’t find Elain.” Nesta answers worriedly. “Or Reader.” Cassian adds. “We looked around the manor and neither of them are here.” Cassian states as he walks towards Azriel. “What! Are you sure you checked every room?” Azriel questions with hope laced into his voice. Before Cassian could get a word in, Azriel sent out his shadows to scour the manor for any signs of the girls. 

His shadows come back and tells him that you and Elain were gone. Azriel was about to send them back out to search throughout Velaris for you guys but one shadow whispered to him that there was a note on the dining table. Without a word to Nesta or Cassian, Azriel speed walk to the dining hall. 

He walks in and he does noticed a small folded piece of paper on the large wooden table. Azriel picks it up, unfolds it and reads it. 

“Incase you guys get back earlier than we do. Elain and I are going for a walk in the woods. We shouldn’t be too long, so don’t worry.” 

P.S. We won’t stray too far so don’t panic Azriel 

-Reader :) 

Azriel crumbles the piece of paper and stuffs it in one of his leather pockets. He can’t believe you took Elain out of the Town House when he specifically told Elain to stay inside until either him or Nesta and Cassian got back to escort her if she wished to go somewhere. He should have known that you would convince Elain to do the opposite of what he says. He should have either convinced Cassian and Nesta to take you with them or forced you to go with him on his mission so that THIS wouldn’t happen. Frustration builds inside Azriel as he makes his way back to the balcony, getting ready to fly to the forest to bring Elain back and to yell at you for clearly going against his wishes. 

“Az!” Cassian's voice is heard from behind the shadowsinger, as his heavy footsteps come closer. “Did you find them?” Azriel shakes his head. “No, but I know where they are.” Azriel takes the note from his pocket and holds it up for Cassian. “Reader thought it would a great idea to take Elain to the woods for a walk.” Sarcasm and annoyance fell from his voice. “I swear, that woman is something else.” Azriel states with irritation. “Hey, how about we focus on finding Reader and Elain and then you can decide if you want to bicker with her. Even though I think you are being too hard on her.” Cassian says as calmly as he could to try and settle Azriel down. Azriel doesn’t respond, he just glares at him. “Let’s just find them and bring the back.” Azriel says as his wings shoot him to the sky and carry him towards the forest with Cassian in tow. 

You always did this. Ever since you became friends with Elain, you always disproved of him. It frustrated Azriel to no end that you would always talk back and bicker at him. He disliked how anytime he would tell Elain to do something you would always have something to say back. Even if it didn’t regard Elain, you always wanted to say something. This wasn’t the first time you pulled a stunt like this off. There were a few times where he specifically told you not to do something and what did you do? You did the complete opposite. It’s like you like to push his buttons, get him riled up, and angry at you. He doesn’t understand why you hate so much. All he has done, or tried to do, was to protect Elain because, unlike you with your extroverted nature, she has a softer nature. And Azriel, including the rest of the inner circle, want her to be comfortable and secure after everything that she went through. The same treatment would be applied to you if you had her personally but you don’t. You have to have a very friendly, social butterfly type personality that Azriel tries to hate, but subconsciously finds it interesting, intriguing even. 

Azriel shakes his head from the thought of you. Lately his head has been filed with thoughts of you. Anything he did or said, he would always think, “what would Reader say? How would she react?” He would imagine different scenarios of you getting upset at him or throwing a sly remark his way. It perplexes Azriel that you have been taking over his mind, and it aggravated him.

That is it for chapter 2! Hope you enjoyed it! So glad I finally brought Azriel into the story. As you guys can see by the amount of words I have, I had to delay Reader's and Azriel's interaction with one another by one more chapter. Sorry! :( But man don't they hate each other so much? Gosh, just can't keep each other out of their own heads! Well anyway, that is all! If you want to be added to the taglist please leave a comment and I will add you! I hope I did the taglist correctly I have never done one before so if someone can give me advice on how to do one properly that would be great because Google did not help at all. P.S. Just to let you guys know I will gone for vacation for about a week, I can't promise you guys anything but I will try to write what I can so that when I come back I can finish it up the next chapter as soon as possible and post it for you guys. I hate that I will have to keep y'all waiting. But until then take care! :)

[min-yunki-agustd]

if you don’t mind, i would like to request sick jimin with caretaker yoongi, with a scat focus…

basically, jimin is on a date with yoongi but something he ate earlier (expired maybe) has upset his stomach and it’s hitting him in the middle of dinner, so after his second time excusing himself to the toilet, he has to admit his problem to yoongi… when he comes out the second time he tells yoongi he doesn’t feel well and needs to go home, and so the elder complies and they leave...

on the drive home, jimin is feeling worse & slightly nauseous bc of his sudden sickness and nerves over “ruining” the date but yoongi is just worried about him making it home.

when they get back, the other members have locked them out and they won’t unlock it until jimin and yoongi kiss, but jimin is desperate and they think it’s a joke until jimin ends up messing himself outside and yoongi gets really angry... then yoongi locks the two of them in the bathroom and he helps jimin through his pain and helps him clean up.

if the messing isn’t something you’re comfortable writing, then you can skip that & just maybe do yoongi getting super protective and mad at the members and he yells at them to let them inside so he can help jimin inside and tend to him & he lightly scolds them to feed their guilt when they find out jimin is sick

sorry it’s so long ㅠㅠ

I do not mind at all! It's okay that its long detailed descriptions help! I apologize for geting to your fic so late! I hope you still enjoy it!

Sickie: Jimin

Caretaker: yoongi

TW: Scat, and a little emeto

There it was again that odd and painful full feeling in Jimin's stomach. it wasn't there before the date but it is now. At first, he thought it was nerves from the date being nervous didn't usually send him to the bathroom. He was now thinking it was something he had earlier that could be messing with his stomach. He knew that the food Junkgook gave him didn't look quite right. This is the second time that he went to the bathroom. He knew for a fact that yoongi was concerned at this point.

But he also knew that he wasn't going to make it a minute longer sting at that table. His stomach bubbled painfully as he entered the bathroom. he lacked onto it ignoring the looks he got from others leaving the bathroom. He finally made it inside and got into a stall immediately. His stomach gurgled loudly. He felt embarrassed. He had no control over his stomach. He growned and bubleed up. He hoped he wasn't going to be in here for very long. He didn't want to keep his date constantly waiting.

After being in the bathroom for what felt like years he could finally leave. He heard tons of people leave and come in and out of the bathroom. Once he washed his hands and actually left the bathroom He noticed that a few couples around them had finished their meals and left. That made Jimin feel nervous. How long was he in there?

Then he saw yoongi. All his troubles were pushed to the back of his mind. Yoongi sat there waiting patiently he hadn't noticed Jimin on his way back. Jimin took this time to admire him. Yoongi had stopped eating his food I guess he was waiting for me... Jimin though. He didn't want to accidentally finish off his food while waiting. Jimin began walking to his date. He knew Yoongi would have questions for him and he'd probably be concerned with all the time he spent in the bathroom.

Jimin approached Yoongi nervously he was afraid he would mention Jimin leaving before Jimin got the chance to explain Himself. But yoongi stayed quiet. Yoongi watched as the younger man sat down in the chair and inform him. " you ok?" Yoongi asked trying to hide the mountains of concern in his voice. Jimin was reminded of his stomach and put a hand on it trying to quell it.

"well," Jimin started, Not really, my stomach has been giving me a lot of trouble, and I -I think I need to go home."

" ok, yoong says, " then less go. I'll get the waiter to get us the bill and a few to-go boxes. " Jimin thanked full for yoongi being too kind and helpful about the situation. Yoongi even handled the check." Jimin said it be on him tonight but he didn't argue his stomach wouldn't let him he just needed to get out of here and be in pain in peace at home.

Yoongi escorted Jimin to his car and started it up to head home. Yoongi didn't talk much as he drove. This left Jimin in his own head. Thinking about how it feels like he ruined the date going back earlier. The date didn't even feel like it had properly started before Jimin rushed himself to the bathroom for the first then a second time.

He was beginning to feel gross. for a moment he thought it was the car but he realized it was the guilt in his stomach. what would yoongi think of him for ruining the date? did he think he didn't like him and he was just avoiding him hiding in the bathroom? He held on a little tighter to his stomach. The guilt feeling in his stomach made him super nauseous. He had to force himself to swallow down a ton of spit. Was he going to puke? He shook at the thought of his body finding another way to completely ruin the night. He managed to keep his stomach at bay for the rest of the driving. Yoongi despite his cool seeming exterior was very concerned for Jimin. He took a glance at JImin. Jimin had a firm grasp on his stomach. It must hurt a lot Yoongi thought. Yoongi wondered if Jimin needed the bathroom again. Yoongi just hoped they made it home in time.

Nausea faded away but Jimins stomach still felt absolutely terrible. He felt that he'd need the bathroom soon.

Jimin looked over to yoongi who was focused on driving. Yoongi hyung? I - I think I need the bathroom again..." Jimin felt embarrassed to have to tell him but he knew he should. " oh - Yoongi says not knowing what to do. Yoongi thought out loud, " well, there aren't really any places around here you can go. I can either keep going home because we are almost there or I can circle back to and final place if you need me to? Jimin opted for headed home. He'd feel more comfortable there he explained.

Yoongi sped up, going beyond the speed limit. He really hoped he make it in time, But he wouldn't be mad at him if he didn't he thought to himself knowing he probably couldn't help it. Yoongi pushed that thought to the back of his mind hoping that be the worst-case scenario.

Once they arrived at the dorm the outside light was on typically meaning the members left the door open for them. Jimin and yoongi rushed out of the car. Yoongi twisted the door hand to get inside. It was locked? Jimin behind him began to wiggle around unable to stay in one place. his stomach was angry for making it wait. "NAMJOON OPEN UP! Yoongi yelled. That was the loudest he had been all night.

No response-

Yoongi pulls out his phone and calls seokjin. He picks up. yg hears Junkook, namjoon, and taehyung giggling in the background. before yg can even say anything Jin speaks up. You two gotta smooch to get inside. Yoongi was extremely annoyed he didn't wasn't Jimin to be in pain while waiting for these idiots to open up. He really wishes he brought his key. but the members said they'd be him tonight. " JIMIN DOESN’T FEEL WELL! LET US IN! Yoongi turned to see three eyes peeping through the window. He could hear Jin, Namajoon, Junkook, and tae yelling kiss! Kiss! KIss! through the glass.

Yoongi was extremely angry. He began to bang on the door repeatedly. He thought about kicking the door down himself but stopped when he heard Jimin beginning to cry. Yoong felt so helpless. All he could do is watch. Jimin couldn't hold on any longer. He was sweating and his stomach was giving him hell.

Yoongi tried to comfort him but Jimin was far too embarrassed to let yg touch him. Jimin's pants were completely destroyed. and Jimin couldn't;t stop crying. the pain in his stomach didn't stop either. Jimin's legs began to feel weak. he almost feels down. Yoongi kept him upright. Jimin cried on yg's shoulder.

The boys could see what was happening from the window and immediately opened the door. Yoongi ushered Jimin to the bathroom so he could finish up.

Yoongi told him he'd be right back to go get some clean clothes and towels. Yoongi went straight to the living room where Jin, Namjoon, tae, and jk said with sad and worried expressions on their faces. " ANd WHOES BRIGHT IdEA WAS IT TO LOCK US OUT!?" NOt a single one of rem responded. Yoongi continued," I told you Jimin wasn't feeling well. " I was being serious," Yoongi continued to scold them. They all kept quiet.

They felt extremely bad. Yoongi got the supplies he needed with the help of the others. The others asked if they could check on Jimin and apologies but yoongi told them no. Yoongi knew Jimin would just be extremely embarrassed.

After Jimin was finished and cleaned up. Yoongi got Jimin some meds and got Jimin into bed. Before Jimin was about to fall asleep the other members came in and apologies. Jimin accept the apologies and they all went to bed early that night. Yoongi by JImins side getting Him whatever he needed.

The Cullen’s reacting to finding Bella on the floor of the ballroom from James? (Like the style you do when you do each Cullen separately)

Hey! Sorry it took so long, but here we go. Thank you for the prompt, feel free to send more!

Carlisle

-Actually really confused about what do to first;

-He wants to save Bella, but also wants to make sure James is away;

-But he would push James away and then run to Bella like a manic;

-“Bella, Bella, are you okay?! I will take you out of here, okay? Just take a deep breath.”;

-He would try to imobilize her breaked leg, before going back to James (not the smartest decision, but he’sworried);

-When he finds out James bite her, Carlisle would go insane;

-After the rest of the clan gets there to help, he would take Bella away;

-I don’t think he would had stop the poison like Edward did (he did after all turned three of them already);

-But if he decided to stop and she remained human, he would be constantly checking on her, making sure everything is healing right and that she’s fine.

Esme:

-Did you ever saw a lion protecting their pride? That intense;

-She would be uncertain of what to do first, either set James away or take care of Bella;

-Esme is a good fighter and her mate is envolved, but James is much better and he’s hungry, so she would have alot of work trying to stop him to hurt Bella even more;

-You know, Esme likes Peace, no violence, but not to the man who tried to kill her family, so she wouldn’t desagree when Emmett asks to set him on fire;

-Taking Bella on her arms in the most delicated way to take them out of there;

-I think Esme would ask Bella if she wanted to be turned or not, even if Bella is just screaming in pain already;

-If Bella remains human, she would be the perfect nurse, cooking, cleaning her bandages, making her take all the medication, constantly check ups with Carlisle and cuddling a lot.

Rosalie:

-Okay, so she would put the most horrific murderer into a shame;

-Taking James away so fast he don’t even realize what’s going on;

-She’s vicious on her attack and would probably win because her instincts take control;

-She would totally whimper when she see Bella on the floor, bleeding and feeling so much pain;

-“Oh, Bella. It’s my fault, I’m so sorry.”;

-Sucking the venom out (or asking Carlisle to do it, since she’s scared to lose control);

-When Bella gets in the hospital, she wouldn’t let no one come closer to her. It get to a point where Emmett had to drag her out of the room when Charlie and Renée got there so they wouldn’t be killed by worring with their daughter;

-Filling Bella with apologies, specially because she didn’t get there earlier;

-I do believe she would try to break things up with Bella after it, because she’s so scared of something like that happening again, but wouldn’t be able to do so;

-Wanting to go after Victoria imediatly;

-After Bella is completly healed, she would give her a lecture about doing what she says, sticking with the plan, not sneaking behind peoples back and don’t fucking run to dead.

Emmett:

-Attacking James right away to take him out of Bella;

-But remaining close to her, mostly because she’s pretty hurt and don’t want to take risks, specially if Victoria is around;

-He would be a great wall between James and Bella, and dosen’t matter how much the other vampire tries, he wouldn’t be able to get to her again;

-Taking all of James attacks so he don’t get to Bella (bites, punches, kicks, all of it);

-Until he finds a way to take him down or until the family gets there;

-“Belsy, is going to be okay. Do you hear me? It will take a few days, but it will go away and then we can have that arm wrestling you promissed me. Stay with me, babe. I’m sorry you’re in pain.”;

-Huging her all the way through transformation, or holding her hand when she starts to get restless;

-The first thing he does is to teach her how to fight.

Jasper:

-You know James would be down before he even knows Jasper is there;

-He’s the Major;

-He would be too scared to get close to Bella and lose his already small control;

-Probably spending more time considering if he can do it than actually geting there in first place;

-Jasper would use his powers to calm her down and tries to make her feel less pain, until someone else gets there and he feels safer about going near her;

-“Emmett, if I… Kill me, okay? If I try anything, just do it.”;

-But he wouldn’t… because is his mate and he wouldn’t ever do it;

-Constantly using his power to make things easier to her during her transformation, talking to her, holding her hand;

-Teaching how to defend herself afterwards (he’s fucking proud when she takes Emmett down the first time)

Alice:

-Too mad to function right;

-She could take James down since she can predict his moves, but she’s so worried about Bella that all she can do is push him away the max she can until help gets there;

-Would want to set him on fire herself;

-Runing to Bella imediatly;

-“Carlisle! Help her!”;

-She would also ask if Bellawants to be a vampire, but secretly wishing she says yes;

-She already saw it, anyway;

-If Bella remains human, I dobelieve she would take care of Bella like in the books/movie (helping hershower, change, eat and anything else she might need);

-Always keeping an eye in thefuture to see if anything else will try to get to Bella (not resting until shehas a vision of Victoria and can finally take her down).

Chapter 33 - Reconnection

BROTHERHOOD

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12211562/33/

Lydia tried to get her old life in order. She called her boss, apologizing for her sudden disappearance, however it didn't help much – she was fired anyway.

"Damn. Can't blame her, though."

With her job lost, she decided to call her father whom she didn't see for over two months already. The redhead felt guilty that she didn't contact him more often before all this happened. She needs to reconnect with her old man, otherwise she'd feel awful if something were to happen to him... or her, given the situation she's in.

"Dad?"

"Oh, hey hon. How are you doing?"

"Hi! Good, good," she lied, "how about you? Would you mind me visiting?"

"Of course not, sweetie. When would you like to come?"

"I don't know... what about the weekend?"

"Are you gonna stay over?" her father asked excitedly.

"If you'll have me."

"Sure, I am bored anyways. Are you still dating that Steve guy?"

"His name is Stiles, dad... And, yeah, I guess."

"What do you mean I guess?"

"Oh, no nothing."

"Hmm, you can take him with you. Make him useful at least. I need some help in the garden, you know."

"I'll ask him if he has time... maybe he's got work and... stuff."

"Yeah, sure he does."

"Alright, so see you soon, dad."

"You too, hon."

Lydia sighed. Her father still disliked Stiles as it seemed. She wasn't sure why, though, and her father never explained. Maybe, he just wants Stiles to marry her already so my dad can be sure he means it, Lydia thought.

Lydia looked around her empty apartment. Thomas went to see Michendros and tell him about his decision. And Credence left with Allison. Lydia wasn't certain where to, but it looked like they wanted to be alone. That was fast, she thought for herself and found Stiles' number in her phone, ready to click on it.

It took a while before he picked up: "Hey, Lyds."

Lydia froze for a bit, her eyes filled with tears. His simple and soft greeting made her heart ache. She missed him so much. Them - being together.

"Are you there? Are you okay?" his voice spoke up again, hint of worry in his tone.

"Uh, yeah. Sorry," Lydia tried to laugh her anxious feeling away. "I guess... I guess I just wanted to talk, you know... about us?"

"Oh yeah, sure," he said slowly, "should I come to your place?"

Lydia again stopped for a moment. Your place. It used to be our place. She felt a tear run down her cheek. "Um, yeah... that would be fine. When could you come?" Lydia tried to keep her voice straight.

"Well, right away if you want," Stiles said.

"Um... so gimme an hour? I should-" Lydia paused again, realizing that she wanted enough time to calm down, however couldn't find a proper excuse, "I should clean up a bit first," she blurted out. Immediately realizing that Stiles had lived in that apartment with her for quite some time and wouldn't definitely mind a bit of a mess here and there.

"Alright, so around four then?" Stiles asked. Lydia, feeling relieved that he didn't try to come earlier, answered with simple: "Yep, bye for now." and canceled the call. She quickly went to the bathroom to check herself in the mirror. Her eyes were very glassy and red.

She splashed her face with cold water and after drying it, she applied some make-up. "That should do it."

The hour passed way too quickly for the redhead. When she was trying out the third top in a row, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring. He should have a key, right? I guess, he's trying to be polite.

She hastily threw the rest of the clothes into the closet and patted her hair down to make it more straight. When Lydia opened the door, she again froze in her step. Her eyes landed on Stiles face which somehow seemed slightly different from before yet still the same.

Stiles looked at her for a bit before saying: "May I come in?"

Lydia blinked a few times and then opened the door wide, stepping aside to make room for him to pass. They went to the kitchen automatically as it was somehow the space they shared the most besides the bedroom before all this had happened.

Stiles leaned against the kitchen counter, looking around with a pinch of nostalgy in his eyes. Lydia was still silent, not sure how she felt. She logically knew that the man standing in front of her is the same man who she fell in love with, however she somehow sensed the strangeness from him. This wasn't Stiles anymore, it was Stolos. Stolos had in comparison with Stiles sharper features, he seemed taller and stronger than before. And his eyes, the eyes awoke uncertainity in Lydia. When he wasn't directly looking at her and/or was basically relaxed, his gaze gave off a cold and arrogant attitude, something to be feared off.

"So," Stiles broke the silence, watching the tiles on the floor.

"My dad...," Lydia suddenly said, making Stiles look up curiously at her.

"Uh, well...," she paused, "I called my dad... and he was wondering... if we could come this weekend on a visit."

"Really?" Stiles said, slightly surprised by what he heard.

"Uh-huh."

"And you want me to go?" he asked carefully.

"Well... I want you... I want us to... I want to give us a chance," Lydia said, her cheeks blushing a bit. She felt like a teenage girl all over again. Stiles smiled at that and took a few steps closer to her.

"I wouldn't mind that at all... but firstly... I need to apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Lydia at first didn't think of a reason why he should do that.

"Yes, I behaved atrociously to you. I thought I had a reasonable explanation for that but in hindsight... I don't. You didn't deserve that after all the years we've been together-"

"Well... it's not that long in comparison to your life-span...," Lydia said in a low tone.

"Lyds," Stiles said and took her hands into his, "Especially my longetivity should be the reason not to treat you that way. I should be smarter than this."

"Yeah... I guess. But I kinda get it... you wanted to make me leave you because you thought you can't protect me."

Stiles sadly smiled at Lydia who finally looked up into his hazel eyes who were suddenly filled with warmth. "Thank you for trying to understand, however I still want you to know how deeply sorry I am."

Lydia nodded at the sentence and drew him into a hug, burying her head in his chest as he wrapped his arms around her.

"How do we do this?" Lydia mumbmed into the fabric of his t-shirt. She felt a soft kiss on her head and she took a step back to be able to see his face again. Suddenly, she realized that her make-up ended up on his black t-shirt. Her eyes widened and said a quiet: "Sorry."

"What?" he asked, genuienly confused. Lydia nodded at his chest where a few light beige spots were imprinted. He looked down and gave out a short laugh. "That's fine," he said calmly and moved his hand to his chest.

"And with us... I don't know. I feel like you should have the upper hand in deciding stuff in our relationship... As you probably have noticed, I am not a great person, exactly."

Lydia didn't answer. Her focus was solely on his hand movement which miracously removed her make-up from his t-shirt.

"Lyds?"

She looked up suddenly and said: "What?"

"Are you listening to me?"

"Oh... yeah, well... I was distracted by your... magic trick."

"Ah," he said and raised his hand to look at it, "I didn't realize..."

"What were you saying?"

"Uh... just... me being kind of... not a good person and all?"

"You really think so?"

"Hmm... if I judged it by the majority people I have met, they probably would think of me as bad."

"And what do you think?"

"Me? Well... that depends. I sure used to lose my temper... a lot. And I guess it varies in either being too deattached and coldhearted or geting massively furious about something. Kinda bipolar, huh? It differs on what it concerns, I suppose. But there were and still are people I deeply care about and I believe that I am trying my best to be good with them."

"You were never like that with me, though."

"Well, because I love you," he said bluntly which made Lydia's heart flutter.

"How many people have you loved?"

"Romantically, you mean?"

"Hm."

"Hah... I'd say plenty... yeah."

"Oh."

"But Lyds... love is bottomless. It doesn't mean that when I loved another person dearly that I cannot love you that much as well."

"Do you see them?"

"What?"

"Like... their spirits... Credence was saying something about that... that you can feel them or something."

"Oh... not really see them. I kind of... am connected to the spiritual aspect of the universe that kind of carries their... memory I suppose. It's hard to explain. But Mich could access their spirits, yeah."

"He can? And why can't you?"

"Well... at some point we both became deities, right? And he is basically like the death god."

"The death god?"

"Yeah... he has access to different... like realms where he can reach people who have passed away for instance."

"Wow... and you?"

"Yeah... with me it is not that poetic."

"So what are you? Or did you already tell me once?"

"Everything bad you can imagine basically. Any calamity, suffering... that's what I am head of."

"Oh... how did you... come to this?"

"I befriended the god of calamity, Yato, who didn't want to be a deity anymore and wanted to become human. So we made a bet, if I am able not to murder anyone in a month and three days, then he'd stay a god forever. However if I did kill somebody, I would help him become a human and get rid of the burden the title carried.

"So... you did kill somebody?"

"Uh-huh, it was more of an accident but it still counted. So I had to find a way to free him of that... and this was the only way. To transfer it onto me basically. And because we made a undestructible contract while we got drunk, I couldn't get out of that deal."

"You are saying that you became a god because you got drunk?"

"Basically, yeah."

"And how is it a burden?"

"Umm, I kind of learned how to ignore it by now and not let it influence me that way. But basically the suffering of others brings me this intoxicating feeling that makes me want to cause more harm so I would get more of people's suffering. Kind of like an addiction. However, the more suffering in the world, the more power it gives me. But as I said, I kind of laid that aside, so I am not actively being the deity, do you understand?"

"Oh... so when you had it in the beginning... you hurt people?"

"Mmm, it's not like I would actually go and like punch somebody. But for example my presence somewhere could basically start a war, or a plague. If I wanted..."

"That sounds... terrifying. Did you do that?"

"I was definitely attracted to the idea at the time... but luckily Mich found me because he felt that something major happened to me. And we figured it out. I was able to control the thirst for calamities and eventually found a way how to silence it so I don't have to deal it that much."

Stiles was met by silence after that. I probably shouldn't have thrown everything at her like that, Stiles thought.

"Well," Lydia suddenly said, "maybe don't tell my dad that..." she looked up in Stiles' eyes for a sign of agreement. Stiles' lips curled into a smile and he nodded. "I won't say a thing."

She smiled back at him and took him by his hand again. "You want coffee? Tea? We can sit down... I would like to hear some more about you."

"Do you really?" Stiles rose his eyebrows at her.

"Of course, how else can I really know you? I hate being in the unknown, you know that..."

...

"Look," Michendros said and pointed to a stone-bench near the cliff, "let's sit there and chat."

"Why is here a bench, in the middle of nowhere?" Thomas wondered outloud.

"I made it for myself," Michendros said with a hint of pride.

"Nice," Thomas said slowly, feeling a bit out of place. They sat down and Michendros turned himself to face Thomas. Mich's eyes were stuck to Thomas' profile and he kept a little smile while watching him.

"What?" Thomas noticed Mich's intense stare which made him feel somewhat shy.

"Nothing at all, so, do you have any questions in mind?"

"Questions?"

"Yeah."

"Uhm... why are you so nice to me? After I... did what I did..."

[tumblunni]

Also I liked the realistic touch in the yugioh beginning that jounouchi stopped being a bully after that incident BUT honda/tristan didnt.

It was really nicely established how jounouchi was poor and had an abusive dad and had reasons why he was acting out, and specifically how he hated yugi out of jealousy. Like.. he thought at first it was ‘because yugi is weak’, but really it was because he was strong enough to be himself no matter how much he was bullied, whereas jounouchi had to resort to becoming a stereotypical macho asshole in order to get friends. And also that he felt like yugi was being uppity and boasting how he doesnt need friends, cos of how he refused to change no matter how much jounouchi kept teaching him this ‘lesson’ that you need to become an asshole like him or you’ll be all alone. And then I feel like it hit really hard when yugi defended him and got beaten half to death even though he’d done nothing to deserve this happiness. And ESPECIALLY how yugi said that he saw him as a firends, and actually desperately wanted friends just as much as jounouchi does. And ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY how yugi tried to excuse jounouchi’s actions by saying he was ‘just teaching me how to be a real man’. Its like ‘holy shit when i see him repeating my philosophy i can see how fucked up it is. Why am I sad that he actually started hating himself, when thats what I was trying to do??’ He realized first of all how his self-hate had made him misinterpret Yugi’s personality entirely, and then how much he’d been destroying this poor guy who never deserved it, AND THEN how much the guy friggin THANKS HIM for doing it and tries to save his life?! No wonder this moment was big enough to shatter Jounouchi’s entire bully persona and make him reevaluate his life. And man it was just SO GOOD how the apology happened! The scene just ends after Jounouchi’s reaction goes from “ugh, yugi, you sent this asshole to beat us up?!” to “HOLY SHIT YUGI YOU SAVED US”, so you don’t know if it really sunk in or not. And the story just moves on to other things, but then suddenly at the most desperate moment you hear that jounouchi had gone to yugi’s grandpa and told him about how this thug was threatening him, and tried to help. And even more than that, it always kills me with the bit where “even though it wasn’t raining, he was soaking wet”. Cos he’d thrown away that piece of the millenium puzzle earlier, and he friggin BROKE INTO THE SCHOOL AT NIGHT to search everywhere outside that window to find it, ultimately diving into the goddamn swimming pool to get it back. And youve gotta remember that at this point he didnt even know the thing was magic, nobody did! He just knew that he’d ruined yugi’s favourite game and he wanted to fix it, if he was gonna make a real apology. And the EVEN SADDER part is that he DIDNT EVEN MAKE AN APOLOGY. He didn’t do any of this because he wanted forgiveness or credit or a pat on the head, at the last moment he decided he’d just give it back to yugi’s grandpa, tell him about the bully, and then leave before yugi came to the door. Its like.. half of him is too ashamed/embarassed to see yugi again, half of him feels like he has no right to be forgiven. And then of course blablabla, puzzle is completed, we meet Yami for the first time and he kicks the bully’s ass, woo! And then its so heartwarming that after all that Yugi friggin INSISTS on accepting Jou’s apology! Jounouchi shows up at school covered in bandaids and with a cold, feeling like he’s just destroyed his own life and lost the only bully friends he had, but its worth it because he didnt wanna keep hurting yugi. And then Yugi runs up and is like ‘AINT TAKIN NO FOR AN ANSWER’, and jounouchi finally opens up a bit and says a corny friendship line, and then he gets embarassed and has a comedic pratfall to end the chapter, completing his transformation from scary character into best friend! ITS SO PERFECT

But then in comparison we have Honda who’s really just introduced as bully-Jou’s bully-sidekick. Even when he becomes a good and trusted friend we never get any sign that his bullying had a big reason behind it, in comparison to Jou he was just an immature bastard doing stupid shit who finally matured. I wish he’d got more screentime and maybe gone into that a little, he pretty much only had a big focus as a bully and then became the most forgettable generic cheerleader of the friend group :P But yeah it was realistic and interesting how even though Jounouchi had turned good, his friend Honda hadn’t. And he was only here at first cos he was Jou’s friend, even if he was like “WTF. Its yugi! YUGI, Jou! Why do we suddenly like Yugi?? U gone nuts??” And then there was the interesting conflict of it looking like Jou was gonna end up losing his old friend cos of gaining this new one, and it was also really heartwarming how Honda ended up becoming friends with Yugi too after a few chapters. And it was nice how it was less of a turnaround and more of like.. friendship first, loss of bullying later. He just realized that Yugi was actually a good guy, and then slowly ended up learning from Yugi’s example and knocking off the dumb antics. It was nice how he had so much development into a responsible older brother figure even though he’d started as a thug, and how even his art style changed to match! Just SUCH a shame that as soon as he became this good guy the plot sidelined him, it was like he was geting punished for being good :p i don’t think nice Honda was boring :P

And then it was REALLY good how Yugi’s initial enemyness with Jounouchi was brought up five volumes later as a punch to the reader’s gut, during an emotional moment. Man, its so messed up that Shadi was also introduced as an enemy in the manga, and a REALLY sadistic one who used illusions of Yugi’s sad past against him. I feel like all these relationships are way better and more defined when we have the reference of how they started? Its like.. a redemption story hits you hard, but just starting the story with ‘they are all friends’ is like show, don’t tell. If you just TELL us theyre friends and dont show us any proof of it then its boring! Maybe thats why the episodes were so much more over-the-top about friendship speeches? BUT THATS JUST TELLING US AGAIN, NOT SHOWING I was soooo mad as soon as I read the damn manga and saw how much enuine friendship we missed T_T And don’t even get me started on how much more screentime and friendship establishment that Anzu and Bakura got, too! WHY THE SECOND ANIME HATE THE FRIENDS SO MUCH. WHY WE NEVER GET THE FIRST ANIME. WHYYY
