“Regulus would be proud of us,” James whispered quietly to no one in particular, still gripping onto the painting like a life raft.

Afterwards, they do a race. They don’t talk about it, but it’s there, between them still. Something settled between them. Cleo doesn’t know how to say it; they never know how to say things like this. Still, they need to, so they wait until Ren’s race is over and then hike through the jungle to go sit on top of Etho’s base and wait for him to show up as well.

He doesn’t. He’d gone to their base. Instead of just showing up for each other, they have to somewhat awkwardly coordinate over text which base to meet at. It forces everything to feel more real.

When they finally meet up, it’s in the shopping district, leaning against the button. A dangerous game in theory, but Cleo’s not fully convinced it can explode at this point, so.

Cleo breathes. They’re both quiet for a moment.

"Okay, so like, are we doing this?" Cleo says.

"I don’t really know, uh, what this is," Etho says, "but I… care about you. I think. So I think we’re doing that."

Cleo nods once. "You know I don’t fall in love, right? I’m not going to fall in love with you, I don’t do that. Might say something about loving you, but it’s not the same thing. Different sense of the word. It’s different, loving people and falling in love, got it? And I won’t do that second thing. I’m never going to do that second thing. I don’t--"

"Okay. I know," Etho says.

"Do you?" Cleo asks.

"I mean, not entirely, but I’m frankly surprised we’re having this conversation in the first place. I never expected you to be in love with me."

"But I’m not," Cleo says. "I’m attracted to you, and I love you as like, a companion and friend or whatever, but I’m not in love with you. I’m. Ugh. I wish I knew the right words. I just--I also don’t let go of things so if we’re doing this you’re going to have to get used to that real fast. Me not being in love with you but me not letting you go, both of those things."

"You're attracted to me? Aw, Cleo," Etho says.

"Don't be an ass," Cleo says.

"Sorry, sorry. It's just, geez, this is--a heavy conversation, huh?"

Cleo sighs. "We'll work on the deflection."

Etho rubs the back of his head and looks away. "Uh, in that case. If I'm maybe a little in love with you--"

"I can't--I can't reciprocate that, Etho," Cleo says, and their voice cracks as they do.

"I know," Etho says. "I just want to make sure it's okay, then."

"You can't help that, can you? Just like I can't help that I still sort of want to kill anyone who hurts you."

Etho seems to think about it for a while. Cleo resists the urge to fidget. She's a zombie. She shouldn't have the urge to fidget; she should be too dead for that. Besides, it's hardly like it's a secret she doesn't fall in love, exactly. It's just... it's only relevant sometimes. Feeling like, as she watches Etho and Bdubs dance around each other, she's on the outside looking in. She'd kill to hold their hands, to protect them, hell, even to kiss them--but that's different. She just can't summon the same emotion of... she doesn't know.

Martyn had almost gotten it, for all he didn't get anything else, in the end. Scott was never going to fall in love with her in the first place, for obvious reasons. Whatever attraction she and Pearl have going on, it's definitely not love.

But this...

"Okay," Etho says.

"That's it?" Cleo says.

"I mean, does it need to be anything else?" Etho says. "It's not like we can just... not do this. I think it's too late for that. Whatever 'this' is. I'm in love, and you aren't, but we'd both be pretty upset to lose this, right? So I'll... figure it out."

Cleo swallows. They feel small. "Will you? Do you understand?"

Etho shrugs. "I understand that it's you, and it's you that this happened with, not anyone else."

"Okay," Cleo says. "Okay."

"Is it okay if I kiss you? Just to try it, I mean. Not like, as a--this is a bad time, actually, I don't want to try to make any kissing we do romantic, I mean, you just told me this won't be romantic, I--"

"Yeah, sure, you can kiss me," Cleo says, and he leans in to kiss them. It's nice. A little soft for what they'd want, really, but nice. He leans back. He looks them in the eyes.

"I get it a little more now."

Cleo is baffled. "How? Kissing is just like, a thing we did? How does that have anything to do with any of the rest of this."

Etho laughs. "I definitely get it a little more now. What do you want to tell the others? I know they're definitely gossiping."

"Ugh. Can we just, like, not?" Cleo says. "I don't want to have to explain it."

"I'll just be confusing then, got it," Etho says, and Cleo can't help but laugh themselves.

"This is why you're my favorite," Cleo says, and they think maybe this will work out okay, after all.

The man with his rucksack raises the gun. Danny looks at him, really looks at him, sees his wide eyes and trembling hands and thinks that it serves him right. Danny’s own eyes glow green and bright, blood dripping down his face. “Better make it count,” he snarls.

Doodles I drew of my fanfic that'll never see the light of day, probably. I've been rotating this in my mind and spewing word vomit onto my document for too long now I had to do something to get it out.

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "littencloud9 "?

oooh! GREAT QUESTION i’m gonna rec my beautiful clever amazing mutuals’ fics obviously. and some others. i mainly read jjk and bsd fics so that’s probably all this list will have haha 😭

(also littencloud9 comes from my fav pokémon litten, + cloud9 was TECHNICALLY inspired by the song cloud 9 by beach bunny! but it’s a cute phrase so i stuck them together LOL)

—> reading between the lines by @spliqi

| bsd, m/m, teen and up, 12.3k, shin soukoku

| did you guys know that im spliqi’s biggest fan actually. their sskk characterisation is legit my favourite thing EVER i am always cackling when reading her fics. this one is my fav especially because of how ridiculously stupid yet clever they are. and how they cannot confess like normal people. highly recommend!! 🤍

| jjk, gen + m/m, teen and up, 5.6k, gojo & megumi (+ satosugu and itafushi)

I Would Rip My Teeth Out For You

warnings: blood, some violence, please tell me if i missed anything!

synopsis: soap is hopelessly in love and would do anything if it meant simon never had to suffer again.

It starts when Soap pushes Ghost out of the way of a bullet, well it’s more like he barges into the man and uses the force of his momentum to shift Ghost. The result is Johnny with a bullet lodged in his shoulder and being scolded by Ghost as the man’s fingers work to extract the bullet while they sit at the small table in the safe house. Ghost’s fingers are covered in blood as he digs out the bullet with a pair of long nosed tweezers and Johnny can’t help but admire them. He admires how Ghost’s fingers glisten from the blood in the dimly lit kitchen, staining Ghost’s skin like a promise, he admires how his blood seeps in under Ghost’s nails and starts to dry under there, taking up space in the small crevices of his life. Ghost rips the bullet out of him and tosses it on the table before stitching him up, the needle piercing just slightly too deep into his skin and Johnny knows he’ll have perfectly imperfect scars from them, scars that he’ll treasure until his last breath. He watches as Ghost finishes the last stitch before getting up to wash his hands and Johnny watches as the remnants of his silent promise wash away down the drain in a red swirl. Johnny keeps the bullet from that night, he places it on his half empty bookshelf, a single bullet taking up the whole row but saying more than all the words in the books combined could ever say.

The next time is when the whole team is out at a pub for drinks, it’s not their usual pub as it’s closed for much needed renovations, so they’re here at this slightly more modern pub that’s buzzing with patrons. Simon and Johnny are walking up to the bar when Simon accidentally bumps into a man’s shoulder, causing him to spill his drink over himself and the already sticky floor. This results in some less than savoury words from the man who is drunk enough to try and fight Simon, despite Simon being more than twice his size and much more than twice his strength, but when the man throws a punch it’s not Simon he hits but instead his fist collides with Johnny’s jaw. Johnny laughs the punch off, too weak for it to have hurt him, and pats the man on his shoulder, telling him to close his fist more next time before pushing him out of the pub. He walks back to their table with two pints, setting one down in front of Simon and feeling the man’s eyes piercing into him just as much as the needle had when he stitched him up. Johnny just smiles at him and nudges his shoulder, telling him to be more careful of where he’s walking next time and calling him a big bastard that doesn’t realise his own size. When Johnny gets back home he puts a coaster from the pub up next to the bullet.

The third time is when they’re on base, there’s a small kitchenette in the communal area, big enough to make tea, coffee and microwave something when they’re in a hurry or too lazy to make it to the mess hall for a proper meal. It’s 4am and Simon is boiling water for tea, still half asleep and hoping that the tea will help wake him enough that he doesn’t fall asleep in the mission briefing. Johnny wanders in, already wide awake somehow and raring to go, the kettle starts to boil and he leans against the counter in the small space as he watches Simon reach up to the cupboard for a mug. Before Simon can even fully register what’s happening, Johnny is pushing him out of the way and Simon watches in horror as the mugs tumble out of the cupboard and onto Johnny. There’s shattered porcelain everywhere, like a deadly puzzle that can never be pieced together again and Johnny’s blood slowly drips onto the floor in between the shards, as if trying to glue them back together despite the fact. Simon scolds him again, calling him reckless and an idiot as they sweep up the broken pieces and throw them out before Johnny is forced to sit on a chair as Simon cleans out the various cuts and scrapes. Thankfully none of them are deep and he should be fine to go on the mission later in the day. A week later there’s a shard of broken porcelain on the shelf next to the bullet and coaster. 

It’s a few weeks after that, when he’s back on base and gearing up with Simon that the man turns to him, reaches out and tightens the strap on his vest as he looks at him. He lets out a small huff beneath the mask before telling Johnny that he better not do anything stupid this time, that he can’t just keep getting hurt in place of Simon. Johnny stares at him for a moment before he’s grinning and shaking his head, a small laugh leaving his mouth as he puts his knife in its sheath and looks Simon in the eyes “I would rip out my teeth for you.”

Coming soon: Larsdunn A/B/O fic! Summary below :)

Most Alphas probably don't have the self-confidence to look at an Omega like Vince and think, "Yes, I have a chance with him." Those that do, it seems, are all arrogant assholes who think they can treat Vince like garbage as some kind of display of their superiority. I'm such a desirable Alpha that I can afford to mistreat this beautiful, perfect Omega and he'll still be mine, they seem to be saying. How they can manage to make themselves feel powerful by starving an Omega of the love that he's already been far too deprived of is beyond Adam, but by God is he determined to fix it. Or: Three Alphas Vince has that are awful to him, and one that loves him just like he deserves.
