He loves playing with your hair when he thinks your asleep. Sense he doesn't sleep he'll join you in bed when he needs a break from going over files and lay down with you so he can olay with your hair.

It started with him sitting on the edge of the bed looking at the wall as he thought about his most current case but when you started to stir in your sleep, having a bad dream, he laid down next to you and held you in his arms whispering sweet things to you until you calmed dow.

He found himself enjoying having you in his arms. Thus started a routine of him slipping into bed with you every so often to take a break.

Normally he would take a smoke break when you slept but he found himself craving a cuddle more than a smoke lately.

Soon every so often turned into every night of him crawlling into bed with you and getting up before you woke.

One night he had been loat in thought about something and hadn't noticed you waking up until he heared your tired voice ask him what he was doing.

"What? Oh sorry didn't mean to wake ya." He said pulling his hand away.

He was surprised when you asked him to keep playing with your hair. More than happy to oblige he started playing with it again.

It soothed you back to sleep in his arms snuggling into his chest as you slept soundly.

The next night when you got into bed you patted the spot next to you with an expectant look.

"You want me to join you or somethin?" Nick would ask looking to the bed then to you. Nodding you head you gavw him a big smile.

Who could say bo to that?

Nick was now "going to bed" with you every time you were. Really it was him laying in bed playing with your hair as he talked avout whatever case he had currently going on until you fell asleep.

He wouldn't admit it, at least not out loud but he adored this nightly routine the two of you had going on though he never hid the smile on his face every time he saw you getting ready for bed or how fast he was to crawl into bed with you to cuddle.

Nick always played it off cool as if it wasn't the favorite part of his day or anything.

If you asked he would probably say aomething like. "Just doing my job to keep those pesky nightmares away." Or "only making sure you don't stop breaming in your sleep. You humans are rather fragile after all."

Acts as if he isn't often the first one in bed waiting for you.

Before he atarted cuddlibg you every night he would work straight through the night till morning. He wouldn't even realized you had gone to bed till you walked oast him yawning telling him good morning.

Now though? He reminds you every night at 9pm sharp that you need to go to bed.

He'll play it off as your human and need to get a healthy amount of sleep as he actively take his coat and tie off to get comfortable.

If you buy him a pair of pajamas to wear he'll laugh avout it and say he doesn't need them.

He's wearing them the very next day.

If you gad gotten them before he started cuddling you every bight he would just give you a weird look for the thoughtless gift and put it in his empty dresser to collect dust or to be used by guests staying the night. He didn't sleep why would he need pajamas?

Now though? Might own three different pairs

You bet they match with your pajamas.

If anyone else sees him in his pajamas he'll puff out his chest as he puts his hands on his hips. "What? You never seen a synth in lounge wear before? Beat it, it's time for bed."

Nick takes bed time very seriously.

He's big spoon. It feels weird for him to be little spoon

Wont fight you if you want to try big spooning for once but he wasn't really into it

Nick much more prefers having you in his arms. It helps ground him and reminds him that you truly are here now with him and bot some memory from the past seeping into his present.

That and how can he play with your hair all night if he's not facing you silly?

He will lean in every so often and place a soft kiss on your forward as he whispers a soft "I love ya." As to bot wake you.

If he ever lost you he would lay in the bed alone holding onto your pajamas as he tried to think back on all those nights he spent laying in bed with you. He would stop after a few weeks as it hurt too much but after a few years when he had time to heal he would start doing it again so he could feel like you were there again. Nick didn't know how much he missed this, how much he missed you.

Gathering Act III: Culling ritual

The next day I woke up in Dexter and Connor’s apartment. All of our significant others had schedules so it was a “guys” day for the time being after showering and getting ready we all went to get breakfast. When we got to the spot you'll never guess who we saw there. Because I know I wouldn't. So there's the scenario we are sitting about to order food when in walks this brunette lady with a mask on. She has a cap on so no one can recognize her.

“I'll tell you later,” I say. I approach the young lady as non-menacingly as possible she looks up at me and I ask, “I'm pretty sure you get this a lot but by chance are you Sana of twice? I say loud enough so she can hear me but not loud enough to make a scene. The young woman smiles with wide eyes and pulls me to sit down with her.

“How did you know? No one else knew it was me.”

“Well, you have a Sana walk,” I said. I tried to keep my language simple so she could reply as I remembered she struggled with English.

“A Sana walk… I like that. So I take it you are once?” she asked. I nodded she moved closer and put her arm around me “You seem familiar.” she said with a hungry smile I hesitated because the aura she gave off was extremely similar to the succubi I had faced in the past.

“Well I went to one of y'all concerts a while back so maybe that's it,” I said.

Sana stroked my chin and said, “No that's not it. So what brings a strong psionic like you here.” her words sent all kinds of alarms in my head. So I chose my next words carefully

“Oh I was getting food and I saw you and wanted to ask if you would sign this,” I said as I pulled out a photo card.

“Do you have a pen?” Sana asked with a hungry smile. I nodded as I space-sifted a gold metallic Sharpie and handed it to her. Sana took the card out of the sleeve before signing it. “You know Slime Hydra I am surprised to see you here.” I freeze at her words. Sana takes off the mask and smiles again. She asks for my phone and against my better judgment I am beguiled to give it to her. She smiles as she opens it and puts her number in as she has me do the same with hers. “See now we're friends.” She says. I turn to her and face her as she puts the mask on.

“How do you know me?” I ask worried

“Oh, Dahyun’s friend Gahyeon mentions her crazy little brother. Also, you're pretty big news having fought at an award show after winning song of the year.” Sana teases

Broken out of whatever trance I was in I said in a louder tone “Younger brother? I'm older than her!”

“Oh, there's the excitement I've heard so much about.” Sana teased

I relaxed enough to talk to Sana like she was a regular person so I asked the following, “Okay what's your deal? Are you a succubus?”

Sana's eyes widened as she said “Straight to the point like Siyeon. Tell you what tell me your deal and I'll tell you mine.”

“I'm just a normal psionic,” I respond

“That's it?” Sana questions

“Yeah my power is just super weird and I have had it for so long it's been able to evolve twice not three times as of my 21st birthday,” I explain

“Evolve three times so that means you've had your power since you were one year old!” Sana exclaims

“Yeah, it has kinda been a pain, to be honest,” I reply

“Really?” Sana asked

“Yeah,” I confided.

“So how does it work I have been told and seen different things,” Sana asked intrigued

“Well first it was the eating and mimicry, then the slime-making constructs then it evolved to add the aura, and as of recently they have all fused to make slime Hydra I guess as manifestation of all the independent pieces,” I tell her

“Okay, so you aren't a slime Hydra?” Sana asked.

“I don't think so although… I don't know. Lami Orochi has always been in here ”I explained as I pointed to my forehead

“Well since you've been such a good boy I'll let you in on a secret. I am not a succubus but a psionic like you. My power is just similar to one.” Sana explained

“Oh so like Rogue from X-men?” I said

“Who?”Sana asked. I forget that not everyone knows who the X-men are.

“Oh right here's a video,” I said as I showed her a video explaining Rogue.

Sana smiled as she watched then turned to me and said, “Yes I'm that." Sana laughed before adding "Thank you for sitting with me and chatting. You're the first person not to freak out about me.”

“Well, I've seen a lot. So not much phases me. Have a nice day Mrs. Minatozaki.” I say as walk away.

Before I am out of reach Sana grabs me and says “You know we should hang out sometime later. You're pretty cool.”

“If it's a date I'm sorry I can't but as friends sure.”

Sana pouts rolls her eyes and then smiles the hungry smile before saying “Whatever. I'll see you soon. Enjoy the photo card you better not sell it.”

I nod as I head by to Connor and Dexter who had watched the entire thing and we're laughing at me.

“Dude you are so lame.” Connor teased as I sat back down.

“Well excuse me for being starstruck she is one of my ult biases,” I reply

“Oh that's surprising, but isn't Sakura also one of your ult biases?” Dexter added I nod and explain

“My ult biases are as follows Hasuel of Loona, Dami, Sakura, and all of twice. Yujin being my SO also has her special position.”

“So you just can't choose one of Twice?”

“They were my first girl group who got me into K-pop. They will always be my ult biases.”

“That's remarkably wholesome and thoughtful of you.”

“Well, I try to keep all of me in mind (past present, and future) whenever I do things. There will always be a part of me that's that kid who needed an escape when the world got crazy a few years ago, and to him Twice still has his heart on lock.”

My two friends smile at me then Dexter asks, “How do you have such a good relationship with your past?”

I shrug. We sit down and eat together all the while just enjoying each other's time.

We decided to play a fighting game for a little bit while we waited I picked a more set-based play character which didn't go unnoticed by the other two.

"Oh, you're playing him. that track," Connor says confidently

"Oh, really how so?" I ask

"dude you play Sultai," Connor says as if that answers everything

"I don't see how that applies," I say confused

"This gives me a better idea" Dex asserts

"Oh word what is it?" Connor asks

"Come on let's go," Dex says

I watch as Dexter opens a dimensional door. Connor and I walk through followed by Dex who has taken us to an open warehouse area.

"So this is a place where I come to train with my powers free of the public eye. It's a quiet upstate New York abandoned warehouse so we can go all out. (Dex eyed me) Somewhat." Dex explained and I understood what he meant by the somewhat.

"So you want to spare?" I ask

"Yes, I want to see what you're capable of because I have only seen glimpses," Dexter says

"Okay. Hey after this since we are in New York can we get Brooklyn Style Pizza?" I ask

"Oh, 100%," Dexter said

"Cool... Yo, why don't we hang out more often as just guys y'all are super cool." I asked

Connor and dexter blush before smiling. "Well this is the first time we have been able to, and you don't drink so we can't go to bars together," Connor answered

"Ok...I am going to do something that seems scary but bear with me. I have to mentally prepare to fight" I said to Dexter. Dexter nods and tells me to "take all the time I need."

I nod and begin pacing hyping myself up. before yelling "I Know A Ghost" I summon Recollection and Lami-Orochi's full form pops out. behind me. Dexter and Connor watch in awe. Dexter summons a flaming Axe and gets in a ready stance. I snap Recollection into its bowstaff form and run to Dexter. He gives a hefty axe swing which I block with recollection. I split off one of the sections and using the chain the section made an attack. Dexter uses a wall of fire which forces me to back off. after this, he creates a pool of water around him and throws what looks like seeds into it. from the water roots and branches begin to sprout and grow sharp then aim themselves at me. I jump high above the branches and the roots. I reconnect Recollection and throw the weapon down into the plants. slime begins to impede their growth as Recollection spews waves of it. I watch as Dexter snaps his fingers and flames start to overtake the branches before I can react the flames reach my slime causing an explosion and sending me flying. I get up quickly as I see him flying towards me. I roll out of the way of his attack. and make a slime wall that intercepts his next attack with his axe. I try to make some distance. but Dex is fast. so I decided instead to retreat to match his energy. if all he's going to do is press the attack well then I have some ideas. his next swing I dodged by jumping onto the back of his axe and running onto his shoulder where I smacked him with recollection. As I got distance I faced him and turned recollection into its B-formation I ran to the other edge of the warehouse and threw it as Dexter shot a giant fireball at me. the resulting explosion blew us both back. when I came to I looked up to see Dexter smiling. he helped me up

"That was pretty cool," he said as we got up. "I never knew slime could be so versatile," Dexter exclaimed

"Well yeah, non-newtonian liquids are quite fun to use," I say

"You're telling me. I watched you use it as defense offense and more" Connor said running close. "Your weapon is also insane what is it?"

"Oh, that's recollection. it's a multi-tool I use when fighting."

"Multi-tool is right It went from shuriken to nunchucks to bow staw to whatever that thing you did with the spike." Dexter said, "You may not be outright more powerful than me but your versatility and ways to just have to deal with power is crazy." Dex concedes

"Thanks, I say appreciative," I say

"So that slime what was that?" Dexter asks

"I don't know. the most I can say is think of it like mimeoplasm." I say

"Mimeoplasm?" Connor asks

"Yeah like the commander from 2011," I explain

"I don't think I have seen that before," Dexter says to which Connor nods

"Oh okay, I'll pull it up then," I say

"Oh, that thing. okay, that makes more sense." Connor said reading the card and then handing it to Dexter

After our little match and lunch, we headed back to their apartment. Dexter has to run some errands. A little after that Yunjin arrives to talk to Connor, and takes him as well. Leaving me with Chaewon who was with Yunjin when she came in.

Hey Tj-ah."

"Hi Chae how are you today?

"I'm good."

Chaewon sits next to me and smiles. we sit in silence for a moment before she asks, "Hey did you see that Astrid is doing another of the GG mega mixers?"

"No, I didn't tell me more?"

"Well it's Gen three and I know all the Izone girls have agreed to do it. she also got Twice, Dreamcatcher, Red Velvet, Loona, and ClC."

I groan at that, but don't let my emotions run too plainly.

"Oh, why didn't you know? We thought you would be back. She told us she's bringing all the old staff back for the first one?"

"No, she didn't but also me and Astrid aren't in the best place right now," I explain to Chaewon. She looks at me with a worried look.

"So you aren't helping?"

"Not currently."

Chaewon sends a text on her phone before sending a flurry of them. after that Chaewon nestles in closer.

"You know I am dating Yujin right Or at least am trying to?"

"Yeah, but you're just so cuddly and warm. Besides what if she can't be set free what will you do then?" Chaewon defends herself.

I look at her and my confidence falters for a moment. I haven't considered things not working out, even for a moment, "Okay well I will let you chill but..." I say to Chaewon

"I know, I know Yujin can't hear about this," Chaewon says

A few minutes later I get a call from Aurora. Surprised I answered the call

"How did you find out about the GG Mega Mixer?" She yelled.

I walked into the office with Yujin and my nerves were on fire. we were meeting with her Company to ask about the potential of us dating. I was less than enthusiastic. They had made it abundantly clear that they were ready and willing to disband Ive over this. Yujin was less worried.

When we walked in I knew that as soon as they saw me everything about the dynamic changed. the hope that was in the air vanished in an instant, and I turned Yujin. the glint in her eyes dimmed, and I felt the burden I was placing on her career and dream. I had her come back outside with me and I said to her

"Dear, They aren't going to listen."

"What why do you think that?" Yujin asks

"Their looks. It's a look I have seen numerous times." I said

"What do you mean." Yujin questions

They aren't looking at me they are looking at this" I said as I pointed to my skin

"What's wrong with it? I like you that should be enough right?" Yujin asked curiously

"I wish but I don't think they will understand." I ponded

"Why not?" Yujin asks

"Well the first thing that caught my eyes was how their body language changed when I walked in, and you know what, let's go in," I say

Yujin and I walked into the office and the first thing said was, "Why should we entrust our top and most beloved performer to you? What value do we have to gain." They didn't have the courtesy to bring a translator I am assuming that's what they said based on Yujin's disgusted reaction.

Yujin looked at me and I looked at her. We nodded and she said the most brutal thing I have ever heard. "I expected this and yet somehow still and disappointed...ah well. Tj I am sorry I have responsibilities to my girls and this contract. I don't expect you to wait for me, but if you do when I am finished with Ive you're mine."

I smile and say "For sure, but I think Sana is trying to steal me." I tease

"Of course she is," Yujin says as she rolls her eyes

"Don't worry she scares me," I reply

"You scared of her. I learn something new about you every day. Let's go our friends are waiting for us." Yujin teased. I give a thumbs up and follow her.

We arrived back at the Ive dorm where everyone was waiting. I shrug and say. "it's over for now."

I was surprised when Sweet Heart Eunbi let out a string of not-so-sweet heart words. Dexter looked concerned as she went further. I am surprised that all of Ive looks so sad. I look to everyone and shrug before saying "Look it's not ideal but life often isn't we walk off the difficult things we can't shake and fix the things we can. Now if you'll excuse me I have a lot to do helping Astrid win her girlfriend back and setting up this Mega Mixer." the crowd had numerous perplexed faces as I walked out while waving.

I arrived at Astrid Penthouse, and I couldn't bring myself to go in just yet. I needed to make one stop. I went back home to my little apartment in Cali and I just cried. I couldn't cry in front of my friends because I had to appear strong. I also screamed in rage. a lot more of that than the crying to be honest. I had convinced myself that I deserved to be happy with Yujin and I should have known better, but the next time I won't make that mistake. after I was able to emotionally regulate enough to bring myself from a 12 to a 2. I space sifted back to Astrid's I took the elevator and Aurora was the first to see me. She rolled over to me and gave me a tight hug. then she slapped me.

"I missed you, dummy," she said with a pout.

I shrug and say, "Life is strange."

Aurora smiles and then says to me, "Now go be the hero and help our sister." I nod as I walk to Astrid's room. she is still in bed crying. I face her and pick her up.

"Come on Ash we have work to do!" I bellow.

"No, I just want to die," Astrid said between sobs

"No, you don't. You are just emotionally distraught because you got into a fight with your girlfriend whom I am going to help you get back." I challenged

"what do you know about relationships," Astrid questioned

"Enough now come on. Shower you smell like spaghetti and depression." I tease

Alex was walking by and began laughing at my statement. we got in one of her cars after she cleaned herself and we drove to Emma's spot out in Korea. I walked up first and she came out

"Are you here to kill me?" Emma asks

"Nah I come bearing gifts. I say as I gesture to Astrid who's still at the wheel. Astrid waves awkwardly. then Emma turns to me. She shifts uncomfortably.

"Why do this...it doesn't change anything between us?" Emma questions

"Well you make Astrid happy and honestly you two are perfect for each other so...besides I need her at least somewhat normal so we can do this mega mixer. I explain

"So this is a selfish choice." Emma discerns

"Oh completely. you take care of Astrid, and I can focus." I elaborate

"What if I say no?" Emma questions

"I will hype her up to never talk to you ever again I guess?" I answer

"You wouldn't dare." Emma Hisses

"I would and have done this. she is my homie. she's crazy and at times cringe but I love her still. so what will it be?" I propose

"Fine, but this still changes nothing," Emma states matter of fact

"I know. I look forward to our next duel. Could I just ask a favor?" I inquire

"You may and I may or may not grant it." Emma hesitates

"Cool can you not send opponents during filming I'd like to give this all my attention and help your girlfriend produce the best product," I ask

"That is fair." Emma relents

"Great now Go kiss your girlfriend, and make-up already," I say to Emma

Emma walked around me but not before asking.

"How are you handling your break up I heard it was quite abrupt?" She said bluntly

"I am angry, sad, and want her company to burn but honestly, that's the least of my worries," I reply

"Really?" Emma interrogates

"I have a job to do and responsibilities," I say pointing to her and Astrid

Three weeks later Astrid is back to normal and we are working on getting the Mega Mixer into regular and not pre-preproduction. G-idle was also joining which meant we now had more work to do. I spent most of the morning helping Astrid with her paperwork, and getting her coffee among other helpful "assistant-type things." this had to stop though when Twice came in unexpectedly, and my heart did double flips. they entered the building as they owned it and they walked into the office where Astrid and I were working.

The first thing I noticed about the ladies was that they were pretty...like way prettier than what I had seen. Almost too pretty. it set me on edge, which let me focus on their words.

"Hey girls what brings you here?" Astrid asked. Jihyo responds and while they do talk a text shows up on my phone. I open it to see Sana having taken a sneaky picture of me.

"Long time no see." the text says. I look at her and I roll my eyes. before I could text a response I got a notification. It is from a reputable K-pop news sight.

"Dating Scandal: Ive's Yujin dating (I squinted but couldn't make out the name.)" I read the article and my heart sank like a stone. I turned to Astrid and excused myself. I space-sifted back to the warehouse where Dex Connor and I had been training, and for the first time, I just let myself lose it. there was slime in all states everywhere. I thought about texting Yujin about it, but honestly, I was not in the proper headspace to make intelligent choices. so I abstained. which ironically worked out in my favor because I got a text from Sana asking where I went. So I space-sifted back and walked back into the office. all of the ladies of Twice looked at me with various emotions. I tried my best to contain the roller coaster of emotions I was feeling that was until Sana looked at me with an evil grin before Mina asked me the most left-field question I had ever heard.

"Will we be forced to do a bikini beach episode?" Mina asked

The combination of the mental image of Twice in Bikinis but also the absurdity of the question took me out of the funk I was in and straight into a hurricane of confusion.

"Um, What?" I asked

"You're the coordinator/MC...Are we forced to do a Bikini episode?" she asked again this time hesitantly. I brought my hands together as I tried to think of the appropriate answer.

"Um... do y'all want to. I guess I can help set one up, but I...I wasn't planning to. What? What? WHAT?" Astrid seeing me shortcircuit began to laugh, as did Sana, Momo, and Nayeon. I was still trying to process what I just heard though. I walked out again to process what I just heard. As I often do this leads to me deck building. I was working on a Frodo and Sam deck at the time as I wanted something non-blue and Mardu wasn't doing it for me at the time.

A little later Mina walked out she looked at her before laughing. When she saw that I wasn't nearly as jovial she paused and said "I am sorry if I offended you or made you uncomfortable."

"Ah don't worry about it. I just wasn't expecting that." I dismiss her worries and try to not think about everything in my head too much. I go back to the building when I feel eyes still on me. I look over to see Mina still there. she's looking over my shoulder trying to see what I was doing.

Mina sits to my left. I look at her confused "Can I help you?" I ask in a very confused manner. I am trying my best not to sound annoyed because she doesn't deserve that first and second I am trying to make a good impression for this show that we are about to do.

"Oh, I am sorry what's that you playing on your phone," Mina asks

"Oh, this it's Magic The Gathering. A Collectible Card Game I play." I answer

"Oh, that art is pretty...I like the art," Mina coos

"Yeah it's pretty cool, but don't fall into the trap I did when my high school friend introduced me to it," I respond

"Is it not good?" Mina asks surprised

"Honestly that's not the issue the game is fantastic the company who runs it...well less so," I explain

Mina pouts then looks at me confused, and asks, "Oh, Why?"

"Well, the company is money-hungry and it leaves many players in a bind of chasing the high," I say with a blank expression

"Oh. so why do you still play?" Mina asks.

"the same reason I keep living. I live on the hope it will get better, and it always seems on the verge like I can almost taste it," I say plainly.

Mina smiles at me. She leans in closer and I smell her perfume. It's citrus-like. "Why do you like the game?" she asked with that big innocent stare that I have seen numerous times over stuff like Time to Twice and their various other content. It was heartwarming so as I chuckled I indulged her. Her eyes widen with wonder as I explain all of the intricacies that make the game amazing for me, and how commander is the culmination of everything good with the game. She is spellbound as I kinda drone on and on. By the end of my speech, the rest of Twice and Astrid are watching. (I didn't realize it until I looked away from her). Nayeon Momo and Jeongyeon begin to laugh as I turn to them and freeze.

"Oh don't stop because of us." Dahyun teases. Embarrassed I booked it out of there.

As I leave I say to Astrid, "See you tomorrow." before taking the stairs down.

When I got to the lobby I was shocked to see several armed men with guns. they were holding people hostage. I squinted and scratched my head. they hadn't noticed me yet, and I easily could have left them, but sadly Twice, and Twice Ive were some of the hostages, and you know I love Twice, and Ive. Without drawing attention to myself I used my slime to create spikes and discretely stab all of the assailants. After that, I attempted to walk out of the building and back to the penthouse. Before I could however I heard "Tj-ah?" I turned to Yujin, I thought about my response for a moment, but I couldn't come up with anything. She was also walking towards me and I was panicking. so I screamed and space-sifted back to California. Now, could I have handled that better? Yes! I could have 100% but I didn't know what else to do, I was overstimulated and needed some sort of reprieve.

Over the next day, I recovered by not talking to anyone who reached out. I sent texts out to everyone explaining today was an "off day" for me and needed some space.

You wanna know who that didn't stop Mina from reaching out,

"Hey, you left before we could finish our chat. I wanted to continue our chat about Magic The Gathering, and Commander." the text read. For some reason, I indulge her. I give her the speech on how I came to find and understand myself better through Magic and Commander and how it's been quite the Journey. Mina was quite the listener as well, but sadly she had to go. I wished her well though.

after the chat, I felt a familiar pang in my heart. I groaned and said to it "No not now you jerk. I am still processing what happened with Yujin. Please don't do this to me." I knew I had a crush on Mina but I always kept in mind she was astronomically out of reach so I never worried about it. However here I am falling for her, and I didn't want to, but before I could think about it too much there was a knock on my door. I opened it to see Emma. She looked unamused but focused.

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to be, but I need your help," Emma said fast and unamused

I nod and point behind myself before saying, "Oh word? I got you. Should I get my BRIPE stuff?"

Emma groaned, nodded, then said, "Yes God why are you charitable with your time?"

I shrug as I answer, "Well It brings me peace to be so. I follow my peace."

Emma smirks and teases "I am stealing that."

I give her a thumbs-up when I am finished and ready to go. "Cool. Okay, I am ready let's go."

Emma smiles, "Excellent."

so he was surprised when you took everything he said literally and when your tried to answer one of his quizzes he started laughing.

Like he had to get used to speaking literally when with you but he doesn't mind at all.

He would let you ramble about your special interests for hours, like y'all would just be walking, sitting, cuddling etc and he would ask about your special interest(s) and listen to you talk about it for hours and if you feel like you're annoying him then he would ENCOURAGE you to keep talking.

Like this man wants to hear about the most random topics ever for hours and hours on end none stop and he would sit there looking so entertained aswell cuz HE IS.

He loves seeing you stim, and if you do like very physical stims e.g. jumping or dancing, even just waving your hands, he would join you.

You got very excited about something and wanna jump around? He's got you and y'all are jumping all round the house.

If you nonverbal then he will stop speaking and just play charades to annoy you.

But if you need a break from him and need sometime alone then he would feel a bit offended but brush it off and leave you alone, either going somewhere or he tries to stay as quiet as possible in the house and goes yo the rooms which you usually aren't in.

Buys you your comfort food like all the time and has a stash of it (if it's shelf life is long) somewhere hidden.

When you cannot do anything, like you have no energy at all and either stay in bed all day or something he will definitely join you and he will have a break from his daily shenanigans or something.

If you have a comfort plushie he will hide it so you can hold him instead.

He can be a little bitch sometimes and will annoy you a bit too much or be too loud, or just talk in riddles and quizzes if he doesn't want you to understand what he's saying.

The last thing you remembered was comfortably sitting in the backseat of your Uber ride, scrolling through your phone while what you think was Maroon 5 played over the radio. You’re not really sure but the song gave off that ‘good but strangely generic’ vibe that most Maroon 5 songs have.

Well as you were idly scrolling to fill the silence of the trip you glanced out of the car window to your right just in time to be blinded by headlights before pain shot through your skull, then in the same breath things went black. It felt like you were submerged in a thick viscous liquid, so thick your limbs couldn’t move without heavy strain. You didn’t need to breathe so you just floated there thoughtlessly before you saw a light some distance away. 

You squinted and without thinking just started wading towards the light, but a voice stopped you. It wasn’t coming from the light, but instead it came from the inky dark behind you. It sounded like a man’s voice, an old man, like really old. It reminded you of your grandpa kind of, and he was calling for help. You glanced back at the light before turning back to the darkness and walked in what felt like slow motion towards it. At some point you noticed the darkness ever so slowly shifting into a scene. Like the black was fading to reveal a melting nighttime landscape.

The more you trudged forward the easier it got to move, thankfully. Soon the blurry splotches of green, brown, and tan started to solidify more until they actually began forming the details of a dirt path beneath your feet and a forest on either side of you. You continued until you were walking normally, just looking around the dark forest, realizing it should probably be pitch black since it seemed to be nighttime but there was a light right on the spot you were standing. You looked up and around you but saw no light source, though when you moved the light followed you. Then it hit you, the source of the light was you, which made no sense at all. You didn’t look like you were glowing but you couldn’t think of any other explanation for you being able to see in the 8 foot diameter around you.

“Can you hear me?”

The voice that’d been calling for help suddenly sounded much closer, causing you to flinch from surprise. They definitely sounded closer, so you raised your hands to cup around your mouth to yell back… but your stomach sank before your hands could reach your mouth. You stared at the hands before you, heart speeding up as you realized.. they were not your hands. You damn well knew what your hands looked like, you’d been looking at them for decades. But the ones attached to you now were pale, the fingers long, almost spindly with the nails clipped short. 

Your breathing hitched as you watched the hands move as you willed them to, same as if they were your own. Your eyes traveled up your arms, thin unlike how they should be, but not weak either. You looked down and froze when you realized… your fucking boobs were gone. You could actually see your feet, neither of your lumps of fat blocking your view like they usually did. Your heartbeat was definitely faster now, panic settling in your veins like poison. What the fuck was going on? This wasn’t right. Why was your body not right? Were you dreaming? You had to be; the weird darkness and sudden forest and your body being wrong. It had to be some messed up dream.

“CC-aann yy-oouu hh-eeaaar mm-ee?”

This time the original voice, the male one, sounded spliced with another one, this one female. The more you listened the more the voice lost its male tone and solidified as a strictly female one. It was higher pitched and sounded really worried. You couldn’t tell who she was calling for, but it didn’t sound like your name. Though that thought slipped away when you noticed the scene around you washing away like ink from a canvas. Soon you were in darkness again and suddenly you needed to breathe, but it was so hard. You were struggling and closed your eyes to focus on making sure you were taking air in before letting it out, rinse and repeat. 

You felt suffocated, like you needed to reach the surface for air. 

Light spilled into your vision, causing you to close your eyes again. You could hear too many things at once, but they sounded muffled, like you were hearing them from inside a body of water. The clearer those sounds got the more you were pulled to consciousness. Each slow blink of your heavy eyelids showed you a different distorted view. 

You blinked.

First you were looking up into the faces of a man and a woman, both  of whom doubled in your vision, making you feel almost nauseous. Them shuffling quickly around you wasn’t helping with this. The woman gave orders you couldn’t understand to the man who barked something to someone out of your field of view.

You blinked.

More people surrounding you, different ones this time, in scrubs and face masks. But their forms doubled and blurred, making your stomach roil unpleasantly. Blinding lights passing by above you one by one as you were pushed along on something, a gurney? Yeah probably. You were in a hospital then. The voices talking all around you mixed with the ringing in your ears, causing the churning in your stomach to become worse.

You blinked.

You felt weightless for a second before you were on something cold. You sucked in a breath, but it hurt when you did. You let the breath out with a weak moan. Suddenly bright light was in your face, making you wince and clench your eyes shut. Thankfully darkness overtook your vision again and the light disappeared.

You blinked.

The bright light was gone, thank fucking god. But you felt groggy, but in a different way than you had before. Before you could do much more than glance around the room you were in, a woman came into your view with a calm smile on her face. Why was she wearing what looked like blue sleep clothes? She warned you to stay calm and not panic, which honestly just made you worriedly wonder if there was a reason for you to panic, but she went on to explain that you currently have a tube down your throat to help you breathe. She said you needed to remain relaxed so you didn’t freak out and trigger your gag reflex and throw up. You swallowed around the tube anxiously but otherwise didn’t react, which the nurse took as a good thing.

“Do you remember how you got here, Mr. Afton?”

It took a full 3 seconds before you registered what she’d called you. Your eyebrows furrowed as you gave her a confused look, not sure what was going on? Then your ‘dream’ from before flashed in your memory. You glanced down at your prone body laying in the bed and noticed two things very clearly missing. You could feel your heart speeding up in your ribs, as a matter of fact you could hear it too, both beating in your ears and from the electric tone of the EKG machine you were hooked up to. You could feel your hands shaking as panic washed over you. This wasn’t a dream anymore, what happened to you? You got hit in a car, but why was your body different? This wasn’t making sense.

The nurse gave the now rapidly beeping machine a concerned look, asking you if you were in any pain. You closed your eyes and focused on breathing to calm yourself, missing how the nurse hurried over to the machines you were hooked up to in order to check on your vitals. You opened your eyes just in time to see her hook up a vial to the saline drip, half hearing her tell you that you’d be getting some morphine in a moment to ease any of your pain and help you calm down. She was right, hardly any time later you felt your eyelids droop as lethargy took over your aching body and soon you were drifting off to sleep again.

The second time you woke up you were alone in your hospital room. You took your time blinking the sleep from your eyes before checking out the room around you. It looked pretty normal.. at first glance. It was more rectangle shaped than square with your bed against the middle of one of the longer walls. Huge windows that took up most of the wall to your right with a matching sofa and recliner under them, giving the room a more relaxed, less sterile feel. And to your left were two doors on both the short wall and the longer wall across from you, one was open and showing the hallway while the other was closed and went to what you assumed was a bathroom. The walls were almost a pale salmon color, while the floor was… carpeted? That was weird. Actually the more you examined the room the odder it actually seemed. There were floral curtains on the window and a big ass box tv in the corner on a dresser showing some juice commercial. 

And was that a fucking ashtray on the table next to you???

Okay, something was clearly fucking WRONG. You tried to recall the last thing you remembered, before the lady in the blue pjs. Bright lights.. people.. doctors most likely.. oh. You’d been in your Uber when you’d been t-boned by some asshole on your right. So that’s where shit went wrong. But that didn’t explain.. You looked down at the body you were attached to. The body that wasn’t yours. Your heart rate sped up and you knew it would pull someone in here so you closed your eyes and took deep calming breaths. It was okay, just breathe. Just breathe. In… Out... In... Out… Okay.

The machine’s beeping slowly evened out. You kept up your measured breathing even as you heard someone enter the room and call out ‘Mr. Afton?’ to you. You heard another voice pipe up and say ‘he’ was probably just having a dream. You’d never been super strict on the whole pronouns thing, but usually people just automatically used female ones with you. So hearing them use male ones was pretty surprising, though not impossible you guess. You listened as one checked your vitals and chatted amicably with the other. You heard them discussing you and you perked up to listen, curious what they’d have to say.

“Afton. Why does that name sound familiar?” One asked with a hum.

“He’s one of the men who opened that family diner out by 7th Street. The one with the singing robot bear for the kids. My niece loves that place, won’t shut up about it.” The other replied with a chuckle.

The first woman made an ‘ohhh’ sound of understanding before asking how in the world you’d gotten in the hospital. You listened numbly, the information not really sinking in that they were actually talking about you. Apparently “”you”” were side swiped pretty bad by some drunk driver and landed here as a result. You know that’s not how you got here but.. you think you might be in a coma. Why the fuck else would you be ‘Mr. Afton’ the guy who ‘made robot bears’. You’ll admit you just finished playing FNAF 4 again and watched one of the Game Theory videos on the series so maybe this is why your brain decided to do this for you while you were in a coma. Better than sitting in a black void you suppose…

“Oh! Turn the volume up, I wanna see this,” said the younger sounding woman. 

You heard feet shuffling over to your bedside before the tv volume got louder. You could hear a man with a genial voice talking seriously, and when he spoke you couldn’t help but furrow your eyebrows in confusion. 

“This is the CBS evening news with Walter Cronkite.”

You knew who that was… sorta. He was a famous news guy, at least that’s what you’d gathered from that movie Bruce Almighty, where Jim Carrey gets all of God’s powers. He seemed to have a lot of respect for Walter Cronkite, enough to look up to him as inspiration and keep a framed photo of him at work. But you’re pretty sure Walter Cronkite was dead now, or maybe he was just retired? He was one or both of those, so why was he on tv? Maybe this was just your brain messing with you, like you’d figured before. If you’re in a coma then yeah your brain might have picked him to be on the news because it remembered him being a ‘news guy’. That and because.. you didn’t really know any other people in the news field.

You were so lost in thought that you didn’t notice falling back asleep.

Summary: The clock tower in Storybrooke has mysteriously started up again, causing a weird feeling in your gut and for Jason to start questioning things about the newcomer. Back in the Enchanted Forrest, the trio reflect on the dark curse Rumpelstiltskin told Charming and Snow.

Word Count: 2830

Warnings: None

A day passes, being the same as it was before. You woke up, less sore than before, and headed for school. Except, right as you left your house, you heard a loud ringing coming from the part of town where most of the shops were. Looking over the houses of your neighborhood you had a clear view of the broken clock tower. Or well, what was supposed to be broken, however, when you looked at it, it didn’t read 8:15 like it should. It read 8 o’clock on the dot. It shouldn’t have mattered to you but deep down, you felt something in your gut. Like hope.

Don’t be ridiculous, you thought. It’s a stupid clock tower.

But apparently not. While walking to school, you kept hearing whispers about the clock tower.

‘That has never worked.’

‘I didn’t realize how loud the clock tower was.’

‘I wonder why it’s only now starting to work?’

That’s last one stuck with you. You have to admit, you are a little suspicious on why it’s working now. Why has it only now started up?

As you neared the school's entrance, something crashed into you, almost knocking you off your feet. You caught yourself, however, and the thing, or shall you say person, that ran into you from falling into the ground. "Woah there. Careful kid." You looked down at the at the kid that ran into you. He had mousy brown hair that matched his eyes. He couldn't be no more than 11 years old, but you recognized him as the mayor's kid, Henry Mills. "Watch where you are going."

"Sorry." he said, looking up at you with wide eyes.

You sighed looking down at him. "You're fine. Just be careful in the future, ok?"

"Right."

You nodded your head, about to go inside, when you felt his hand grasp the sleeve of your coat.

"Did you feel something this morning?"

"What?" you asked at him.

"When you woke up this morning, did you feel something? A gut feeling, like something happened."

You looked at him weirdly, wondering what type of question that was. But another part of you wondered how he knew. How did this child know that you woke up today with an off-put feeling in your gut? You weren't even sure how to answer him when you got interrupted.

"Hey, Henry. You okay, buddy?"

You looked behind you to see the same women you saw the other day, Mary Margaret and the women in red.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine. Just ran into Y/N." he answered.

You weren't surprised he knew who you were. Everyone in this town knew who you were, just not in a good way.

"Yeah, he's fine. I caught him before he could fall." You affirmed, nodding to the older women.

"Alright then. You should head into school before you're late and your mother yells at me for it." The woman in red nodded towards the school.

"Right. Well, I'll see you later then." As he ran into the school, you turned to say bye when you found the one in red already looking at you, her eyes squinted, and head tilted.

"You were the one of the kids in the fight yesterday. The one pinning the other to the lockers."

It wasn't a question. It was a statement, yet you still felt the need to answer her.

"Uh, yeah, I was. Although, I wouldn't call it a fight."

"Yeah, well, looked like the beginning of one." She answered you. All you could do was nod your head and look anywhere but the two ladies in front of you.

Mary Margaret, sensing the awkwardness rising between the three of you decided to jump in and speak. "Emma, this is Y/N L/N. Y/N, this is Emma Swan."

"Nice to meet you, kid." The blonde named Emma said, sticking out her hand for you to take.

"You, too." You replied, grasping her hand and shaking it. When you clasped her hand into your own, you felt the same strange, unknowing feeling in your gut that you felt this morning, but the second you let go, it was gone.

"Well, um," you stuttered, looking towards the school building. "I should probably get to school."

"Right. I should, too." Mary Margaret chimed in. "I'll see you around, Emma." She smiled brightly at you two and walked towards the school building.

You turned towards Emma, nodded your head once and said, "See you around, then."

"See ya, kid." She answered. "Don't get into any trouble."

"I try." You answered. I really do.

As you turned towards the school and started up the steps you felt a presence ahead of you in your way. Expecting Brock, you looked up in annoyance but instead of greased black hair and green eyes, you were met with fluffy strawberry-blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

“Did you see the clock tower?” Jason asked, leaning against the handles on the stairs, his hand clutching his phone. “Or, more correctly, heard the clock tower?”

Although not Brock, you still held annoyance in your eyes while staring at him. “Of course, I did. What of it?”

"You're not suspicious about it or anything?" He asked, failing to pick up your annoyance and falling into steps with you towards school. "Why it only now started to work?"

Although you definitely were, you weren't going to tell Jason that. It's not like we are friends. "I just assumed the mayor finally got off her ass and paid someone to fix it." You answered, walking up to your locker.

"But why now? Out of our whole life, have you ever seen it show a time that wasn't 8:15?" Jason questioned, ignoring your colorful language and leaning up against the locker next to yours, tilting his phone towards you.

You paused in your movements, glancing at his phone to see that the clock did show a different time, your locker halfway unlocked. "What is this?" you ask Jason, sending him a skeptical look. "What are we doing right now?"

"Talking to each other."

"Yeah, but why?"

"Because..." Jason sighed, looking down at the ground and avoiding eye contact with you, "I've seen you around school." he said as you opened your locker and got your books out. "And I know the reputation you have in this town."

"Everybody does." You said, slamming your locker and turning to him.

"But I think there is more to you than you let on." He smirked looking at you.

You look at him incredulously, slightly shaking your head.

"So, I want to get know you. To become your friend."

"No thank you." You answer him. "I'm fine by myself."

"Are you sure about that?" Jason asked, raising an eyebrow at you. "Constantly being goaded into fights and then getting the downfall of those fights? Constantly avoided by students and looked down at by teachers? That's 'fine' to you?"

You lock your jaw, staring hard into your locker, refusing to meet those blues eyes staring at the side of your head. "Yeah, I thought not." he scoffed.

"I didn't say anything." You bit out.

"You didn't have to." He sighs, shaking his head and looking at the other students around the hall, talking and chatting with other they called 'friend.' "Look, Y/N," he says, looking back at you, "I don't want to get in a fight with you. You've had more than your share of them." Your hands curl into a fist at that. "But" Jason continues, "I also don't want to see you get into them."

You freeze at that, not knowing how to answer to that. You turn your head to him. "What?"

"You get goaded into fights and get the punishment for them. That sounds like it takes a lot from you, both mentally and physically. You might need someone to talk to." He looked at you expectantly, wanting you to agree with him.

Instead, you ask him, "Did Ms. Blanchard put you up to this?"

"What?" he asks.

"Did Ms. Blanchard ask you to befriend me or something?" You ask him, eyeing him skeptically. "Did she promise you extra credit or something?"

"What? No! God no." He says straightening up and shaking his head. "She didn't ask me or promise me anything. And, frankly, I'm offended you think I need extra credit in this school in the first place." You sigh at him, looking back to your locker and putting the lock back in its place. "Anyways, now that that's all settled-"

"What did we settle?"

"-Have you heard anything about the new girl in town?" Jason asks, ignoring your question entirely.

You didn't answer right away, debating if you should really trust what he said and entertain his idea of being friends. And although the thought of walking away without replying to him was tempting, something in your gut was telling you to answer him and at least try.

"All I know is that her name is Emma Swan." You answered him, walking towards first period.

Jason walked beside you while talking, expertly moving around students while not running into you in the process. "From what I've heard and seen, she's the mayor's son's biological mother."

"Henry Mill's mom?" you asked. You thought back to just 10 minutes ago when Henry ran into you and how Emma came in to check up on him.

"Yeah. Traveled to Boston by himself to find her." he replied, dodging a door that randomly opened next to him.

"That kid's determined, I'll give him that." What were you doing? Never had you held a conversation this long, much less gossiped about anyone or anything. It felt weird.

"Oh yeah." You both stop outside your first block classroom. You turned to Jason to say goodbye, finding him already leaning against the door frame, staring at you. "You think she has something to do with this?"

"With what?" you asked.

"The clocktower moving again."

You raised your eyebrow at him. "What? You think she stayed here just to get the clock tower to work again?"

"Not exactly." he said straightening up. "Tell me, Y/N, did you feel something when the clock tower started moving? Something in your gut?" he squinted his eyes questioningly at you.

You considered, for a moment, to lie to him. Telling him that he's stupid for asking such a question walking into your class, but your mind wandered to how Henry asked you the exact same question. "Yeah. Like... hope, almost." You shook your head. "But that's dumb. It's just a stupid clock."

"Maybe but think about it. That clock hasn't moved for our whole lives. Then, all of a sudden, this woman shows up in her red jacket, decides to stay here and the next day it starts working again?"

"Maybe the mayor thought it was a better impression to have the clock tower fixed." You shrugged your shoulders at him, not understanding where he is going with this.

"I don't know. It's just weird to me." he replies. You understand where he is getting at but there could be a million reasons why the tower started to move again. "Anyways," Jason sighs, straightening the straps on his backpack, "First class starts soon. I'll see you at lunch." He waves at you walking backwards down the hall. You wave back at him, entering your first class of the day, Geometry. Usually, you were the first one into class, but today someone had beat you to it. Sitting in the second row, right next to the windows and A/C unit was a dark brown hair boy, with hazel green eyes framed by brown acetate glasses. His faced sat in one hand while the other held a book he was reading. You recognized him. He wasn't such a pain in your ass as Brock was but got on your nerves every now and then, especially when he does something the teacher think you should pick up on.

His name was Hector, and he was the only kid that rivaled you with his grades.

"You guys actually believe Rumpelstiltskin?"

You looked towards Jason, who was looking out the window of your guys' shared room. He still had his uniform on, but he took off the heavier armor pieces. He looked serious, which was an odd but still fitting expression for him.

"I mean," you say, turning your head back up at the ceiling, resting your head on your pillow and continuing to throw the ball in your hand in the air and catching it. "My gut is telling me to trust him, and my gut instinct has never been wrong."

Jason gets up from leaning on the wall and heads towards his bed. "I know. It's just," he sighs as he sits at the foot of his bed, "Something doesn't feel right."

You raise an eyebrow at him, hinting him to explain.

"I mean, every time one of us ask him for something, it bites us in the ass later on. Who's to say it won't happen again?"

You open your mouth to respond to him when someone else beats you to it.

"It's not like we have that many choices."

You turn your head to where the voice sounded. Hector walked into the room, his dark brown hair wet from his evening bath, green eyes shining in the candlelight. He, unlike Jason, has switched from his uniform to a classic linen shirt and brown trousers.

What a sight.

"Rumpelstiltskin, whether he likes it or not, is gonna be affected by the Evil Queen's curse, too. He's gonna need a way out as much as we will." Hector stated, walking over to his bed a few feet from yours.

Your eyes never left his figure for a second.

"I know that." Jason said, falling back onto his bed. "But it still doesn't feel right."

"I never said it did." Hector said, searching around his dresser and nightstand. "But it's the best choice we have at the moment. If you have a better plan to take down the Evil Queen, then by all means, go tell Snow White and Charming. I'm sure they are more than willing to use your plan - where are my glasses?!" Hector throws his blanket and pillow off the bed in search for his missing items.

"Hect," you say, reaching over to your coat hanging on your bedframe, and rummaging through your pocket. "Here." You say pulling his glasses out and handing them to him. "You left these at the training ground earlier today."

He turns to you, a slight smile on his lips as he walks over to you and grabs them for your hand. His fingers graze yours slightly longer than they should have. "Thank you."

"Of course." You say, smiling at him.

Jason has sat up by this time and looked between the two of you, a slight smirk growing on his lip. "Well," he says, clapping his hands together and standing up, bringing the attention from you and Hector onto him, "I'm going to head to the baths before the fire used to warm the water is put out." He grabs his night clothes and walks out the room. "You kids stay safe." Before he walks out the door, he turns to you and winks before closing the door behind him.

As you look back to Hector, he has gone back to sitting down at his bed, cleaning the lens of his glasses. "So," you say to grab his attention. "What do you think this dark curse is?"

Hector looks at up at you with thoughtful eyes. You can tell his mind is racing just by the look in them. "I don't know." he whispers.

"Really?" You say lightly smirking. "Nothing in those books of yours can help us at all?"

He looks at you with his head tilted his eyes hooded in annoyance. "Annoyingly, no. Seems that whatever this curse is has never been used or is being created on the spot."

"Do you think she is bluffing?" you ask, turning on your side and propping your head on your hand.

"I think you of all people will know if she is bluffing or not." he answers. "Which makes me ask you, do you think she is bluffing?"

Your mind flashes to your memories of when you 'worked' for the Evil Queen. You knew she never bluffs. "No, I don't."

Hector looks at you for a moment, his eyes bouncing to different features of your face. Your nose, your ears, your eyes.

Your lips.

"Hey," he whispered, getting up from his bed and crossing to you. "Whatever it is," he kneels in front of you and takes your face in his hands, "we'll get through this. We always have."

You stared deep into his green eyes. They held so much admiration in them, it was astonishing.

"The Evil Queen won't split us up. We'll find our way back to each other."

Part 4: Coming Soon (I promise)

[dreamcatcher-ranger]

Queued

This is a fictional story, I apologize because I didn't realize how the first paragraphs sounded without context. I am perfectly fine. Please reblog this version and enjoy!

Let me preface this by clarifying a thing. If you're reading this, I'm already dead. I'll queue this for tomorrow morning, and if nothing happens I'll take this down. If you're seeing this on your dash, it means I'm gone. If I can return... Idk, maybe I'll write a more detailed post with the answers to all of this, maybe y'all could just carry on like nothing happened. Maybe this post will not exist anymore and there is no need to tell you what I would do.

That being said, if I will have to say goodbye, the least I could do is doing it with style. 

My name is Norman. All of you will already know me by my url, or maybe the pfp. "Look, it's trans Charizard again. What will he have to say this time". Mostly shitpost, alright? I didn't log in expecting to become a great artist. Sometimes, however, I liked to cut out a little scrap from my life and show it to you.

I started when my new life started. When I finally managed to get away from the horrible claws of my family and I settled in this little apartment. It was a small place, tucked away between the trees, where birds were more loud than traffic. 

All things considered, it has been nice to get it without having to pluck out my eye to pay rent. It was crammed, yes, but at the time I didn't even have a bed. It was enough.

So, as my loyal followers may already know, life here was... peculiar. 

It wasn't anything outright weird, more like little unsettling details, details on which the eye glided until they got caught, and once the eye caught them it couldn't let them go.

Typing them on here, in hindsight, makes me feel dumb, like if I was some horror movie dipshit that wouldn't move out of a clearly haunted house, trapped in his certainty that "GhOsTs ArEn'T rEaL" despite the furniture floating past him.

In my defense, my furniture didn't float. At least, I never saw it doing so. 

There have been misplaced objects, though. A glass that got knocked over, a book I was sure I had put a bookmark in, my Waddles (yes, the Gravity Falls pig. Sue me) plushie popping up from the strangest places, like when I found it in the pantry, behind the pasta. 

It was the least tbh.

Misplaced objects... they could be attributed to my ADHD. I came to terms with the fact that my things never seemed to stay where I put them when I was, like, six. After a while it sort of became a bit, in our family. So it wasn't exactly news. Even if Waddles in the pantry was a bit too much even for me. But hey, everyone lost track of their stuff sometimes, if they weren’t paying attention.

And, as I said before, it was the least. I mean, you saw my posts. At first I joked a bit about these teleportations, along the lines of "haha, look, my plushie loves pasta sooo much!". But, like, everyone who owns a cat knows that teleport is not impossible. "Yeah yeah, things that change places when they shouldn't, we've all seen it". Issues started coming after a few weeks.

At first, it was the golden leaves. I already said that my house was in the middle of the woods, right?

Well, it was around last April when they started making their appearance. I challenge everybody, everybody, to see a threat in a shiny, little golden leaf placed on the window sill.

They were really cool, by the way. Not even a little bit scary. Annoying, for sure. But not scary.

They made me curse every ancient god that watched over this Earth, though. I wouldn't get surprised if Cthulhu came knocking at my door asking why I was calling for them. For it was enough to leave the door a tiny tiny bit ajar for a freaking MOUNTAIN of leaves to make their entrance.

They defied physics. How the hell a metric fuck you of leaves could have come inside through an opening of an inch (measured) in less than half a minute is beyond me. But at least, broom and patience, and I swatted them away.

Now, I admit that maybe it was my fault, because if a normal person gets ATTACKED by leaves their first reaction is to find the tree those leaves come from.

It never crossed my mind, I swear. Not even when they started exploding.

Okay, maybe exploding is a bit of an overstatement. It's not like they went KABOOM and set things on fire.

It was just that as soon as I grazed them, even by blowing on them, puf! They turned into a little cloud of golden dust. And that mother-effing dust stuck! It didn't go away! Soon all my belongings were golden-leaf-dust-coated. I had a glittering house.

And if your first reaction is "Norman, normal leaves don't act that way" well, whoever you are, you may be an amateur botanist, but I know jack shit about trees. I wasn't gonna bother my landlord for a couple of leaves. It was my very first place of my own, I wasn't gonna act like a whiny baby. I think it would have solved a lot of problems, though.

Because then, around the middle of this January, it was the stains' turn. The streaks, the markings.

They started appearing in little spots, like little droplets of something. I didn't thought much of them, it was an old house in the middle of the woods, of course there would have been dirt here and there.

I found the first concerning one on the couch. It was a big, rough brown stain vaguely resembling a heart. Not a "❤" sort of heart, an anatomically correct heart with atriums and all. It had even the veins on it. It was a bit disturbing, I admit it. Maybe, a flying chair would have been a less noticeable warning.

However, it probably was just a Rorschach-like effect. Y'know, the test with the stains. It was just a puddle, but I thought it looked a bit like a heart and therefore was an anatomically-correct-heart-shaped puddle.

It was not the only rough brown stain I found. They didn't really bothered me, because, unlike that goddamned dust, they went away on their own. I had to clean off only the most visible ones. They just. Appeared. On the windows, the ceiling, at the bottom of the walls and on the floor, in the kitchen, on the mirrors, on my blankets, my clothes, even on the back of my binder. I felt a bit sorry when those disappeared, because they resembled two little bat wings.

If you followed me at the time, I'm sure you remember those pictures. How could you not? Some of them went viral, my notifications never recovered. I think that the rose on my bedsheets got reblogged by a heritage posts blog, like the "is this dress blue and black or white and gold?" meme.

By this point you are probably thinking "But Norman, at this point you must have noticed that something was wrong. Dirt doesn't appear and disappear, and it doesn't come in elaborate shapes." And you're right. I noticed that it was not right. I may be a skeptic, but until a certain point. But I'm not a moron. Except I was. Because it was just dirt. Dirt that came in beautiful patterns and went away on its own and it didn't bother me. So I pretended that everything was fine, it was normal, nothing was going on.

I am really, really a moron.

Because what happened next made me realize it was not dirt.

It was blood.

I... don't think I've ever posted the handprints on here. The heart, the rose, those little spots that looked like a constellation were all meant to get a laugh out of who saw them. Somebody even accused me of creating them myself, which, dear rando, thank you. It wasn't me. I can’t draw shit.

Handprints smeared on my kitchen were NOT, I repeat, NOT my doing. Why the fuck should I do such a thing? They were creepy as fuck, and I immediately got a hold of soap and sponge. The point is, they reappeared every time. I cleaned the glass panel, and the next morning I found two, if not more, different handprints.

Once there was one that had nothing better to do than flipping me off.

Very funny.

At a certain point I just gave up. The patterns always went away by themselves, I could suck it up and endure a "fuck you" by a stain on my window for a while.

Wrong. The second evening after my last attempt, at the start of September, they chose to up their game. Under my eyes, the substance they were made of slowly became dark crimson and wet and started dripping. I yelled and fell backwards, crashing over the table.

Quivering, I slowly crawled away from the window. I felt something wet on my fingertips, I must have hit my elbow in the fall. Instead of any kind of pain, it was disgust that clawed at my stomach. As I watched the trickle of blood on my forearm the memory of all the shapes came to mind and realization hit.

I've slept between those blankets, dammit!

I reached the sink and said goodbye to my breakfast. When my head stopped spinning, I grabbed soap and a rag and, in record time, cleaned off that nightmare from my glass.

Too bad that the nightmare just started.

This was the only place I had. I couldn't pack and just go. I should've done it, but I couldn't.

However, it was now time to bother my landlord. The sweet old lady that I talked to over the phone assured me she would come as soon as she could.

As soon as she could was a week later. That week was a nightmare. I tried to stay away from the house as long as I could. But I always had to sleep somewhere. And those nights... I don't want to talk about those nights. I was curled under my blankets, trembling and sobbing. Apparently, the 'dirt' stains now always came in liquid form. And I always woke up covered in golden glitter and red trickles, despite having a sheet all over me. Use your imagination.

When I finally greeted the sweet granny, I was in tatters. And glittering. As I said, the dried blood went away, the dust stuck.

For her, a single glance around was enough. She pursed her lips, and nodded solemnly. And told me that to solve this I had to leave something sweet as an offering, in the woods. Something like a cake, bread, cream, sugar, milk and honey.

Milk. And honey.

Are you FUCKING kidding me.

Apparently not, she was not kidding me. She looked extremely serious. And so I though, why not give it a shot? And after she left me I took a bowl, I filled it with milk and honey, and walked until I could find a good spot between the trees, where I left it.

The next morning I woke up unscathered. And when I went checking, the bowl was just shiny clean. Not even a drop.

So, a bowl of milk and honey in exchange for a night of peaceful sleep. And a clean house.

Poor fool that I was, I thought it could work.

This was three weeks ago. And, of those three weeks, just the first few days the milk worked. Because then, They wanted more.

Milk and honey, but with a spoonful of sugar. Slices of white, soft bread with butter and sugar. Mugs of coffee creamer and honey. Little cakes, like tarties and plumcakes. Sweets. Peppermints and toffee. And so forth.

Always more, always more.

And if the quota wasn't met, the blood returned. And the dust. And the misplaced stuff. And, between the trunks and branches, I could see lights dancing and hear soft laughter and singing, asking for more. More, more. More.

They just don't want to leave me alone. I can’t keep on living like this. I made my decision. I typed on here all of this story. So, now you all know. I have a kitchen knife shining next to me. Must sound more gutsy that it really is, but tonight I'm gonna march in the woods and make Them leave me alone.

It sounds so brave. But I'm not. I'm crying and shaking. My fingers can't stay still. There are tears on my laptop. I'm gonna die.

But anger is stronger. I-I will try to make Them stop. To make Them let me live my life. If it won't work, at the top of this story I left all you need to know. If things work out... I dunno. An update, maybe? A whole different story, maybe.

But now the story queued is this.

So, thank you, to all of my mutuals, for the time spent on this blue hell. I love all of you.

Goodbye

Norman

The Halfblood Chronicles- Part 5

CHAPTER 5

I scanned the jungle for movement. I had started the mission maybe an hour ago. I wasn't a human right now, but a eagle. There! I swear i saw some movement down by that old temple. I swooped down onto the roof. A grubby boy, maybe around 11-12 was sitting on an old part of the temple. Poor kid. I felt bad for him so i appeared infront of him. This way i got a better look at him and i wouldn't be stalking. He looked panicked but he didn't say anything. 'hey, hey, its okay, i'm not going to hurt you, I'm here to help, whats your name?' I smiled at him. He calmed down and pointed to a carving in the walls of the temple. 'Cyrus' I picked him up and teleported to some place safe. I was surprised to see my dad and Myth. 'Deirdre! Woah, so to put it short, i sort of recognize him' Myth explained, a bored expression on their face. 'I will take care of him' Dad took him from me and took him of to the bathroom, i don't know how i knew that, i just did. 'Why was i sent here? I meant to teleport to the kampidescopian palace' i murmured. 'Oh! Thats because i found you mission buddies! There names are Octavia and Adeline!' Myth grinned, obviously happy with the idea of me having 'Mission buddies'. But again, who would refuse new friends? Not me. Suddenly a short redhead in a maid dress entered the room. 'Deirdre, this is Adeline' Myth gestured to her. Another girl entered the room, this time she was tall, tanned and had black hair. 'My name, is Octavia' She smiled at me. 'Okay, so they will join you 2 days into the quest, and it hasn't even been an hour yet' Myth explained to us. AJ the needy dog strutted happily into the room. He nodded at us like he was some sort of extra fancy president. A cloud of violet appeared around me. I waved goodbye as i evaporated into dust. The last thing i heard was distant male laughter, and the feeling that i had forgotten something important…..

I let out a deep breath as my opponent fell on his face, dead. I kicked his face for good measure. I transformed into a crow and began to hide among a load of fellow crows who had been flying peacefully above. It was nice being strategic and smart. I dived down to my hide out as we flew above it. I made an amazing landing, and spent a generous few minutes giving myself compliments. I shape shifted back to a human, testing my arms and legs for a sec, good, they still work. I got down on the ground and grabbed the sideways wooden ladder. I pulled myself right down a small slanted space into an area that looked like the inside of a large cabin. I stood up and helped myself to the blueberry muffins that Raven had sent me. Each tasted better then the last, i only had three out of 20, even though she sends them every day. I changed out of my sweaty leather clothes and into a more comfortable outfit. Dang, this was boring. I was scrolling through Pinterest when i heard footsteps above me, meaning someone was walking on the grass roof. I pulled on my helmet and grabbed my spear. I transformed into a snake, and proceeded to slither up the slanted opening. As i reached the vine covered exit, i heard a voice, it was talking to someone through something i couldn't see, about invading Blouna. If i was a human, my face would be purple with rage, then again, if i could blush as a snake, i wouldn't put purple faces past it. I went down a secret passage and quickly got to another, smaller opening, not only could i hear them and the other person better, but i could also do a quick and stealthy attack. 'They think i'm dead, hah! I cannot wait to see the look on blondies face!' An annoyingly familiar voice laughed through the device. The man who had been walking around the roof snorted. I just couldn't tell whos voice the first one was, it was right there… Ugh, lemme guess, i won't remember till i'm a ghost. Maybe…..Nah, i watched her die, theres no way….but…NO! I scolded myself silently. Wait- i'm guessing y'all want a description of the dude. Well he has the weird loki style hair, and mustard yellow eyes. The realization suddenly hit me. Luciano, i recalled, was supposed to be our new enemy. Sweet, i can kill him before a war starts! With a sudden swift movement, he had me by the neck in human form. 'Stupid girl, think you can hide from me' he said it with a smile, creepy…. Okay. He threw me into a tree, hard. A loud crack etched a scream out of me. Flip, he broke my leg. I cursed as he neared me, grabbing me by the head, he smashed it into the tree. I began to feel incredibly dizzy, as my sight darkened The last thing i heard was Luciano laughing on the phone to his friend.

Want to know how i feel? Here you go; Dajjgsjgdsyfmdkyfkugdgkdukdhgdktudtujugdjfydjjydtydtjrsjysktu. Perfect answer after nearly dying, eh? I missed Lydia, alot. I'd forgotten about Zia, if I'm completely honest. I've only been on my quest for one day, and the healing of my current injuries would take up to two months, aka more time then the whole mission. So i decided to take matters into my own hands. I mostly healed myself with my powers, i still had a good few, horrible bruises. I moved my hideout without telling anyone, luckily since the magical post box was inside the hideout, i would still be getting Ravens brownies. After i did that, i began training all my powers to find out what they all were. Turns out i had so many exciting ones, from shapeshifiting, to invisibility, to live bombs!!! It was so cool, knowing i could do anything at this point. I also had the power of creation, so what did i do? Of course i did what everyone would do, create a ready trained husky and an army of flying hamsters who sing opera as they scratch your eyes out, who also breath fire and pee poison acid. I had completely forgot to warn Valerie and Varian, but who care, they were busy preparing for war anyways. So was every other person at my new home, thats my life for ya! Stupid lonely feelings, making me home sick. Oh, and in case you're confused, my live bomb power means i can explode myself and i'll be untouched. Gods, i really wished i used that on o'l luci. I meant Luciano, by o'l luci, by the way. I was really looking forward to the war, so i can test them hamsters, i also made Guinea pig editions of them as well. So i have lots of new powers to try. I feel so damn overpowered and i love it. I can literally stand beside someone, explode, and be completely untouched while the other person would have been ashes beside me. As long as they don't get in my eyes, hair, mouth, up my nose or down my clothes, then i have no problem with making people explode. I had also found out that Maziar had magical abilities as well, like teleportation, he had immortality, invisibility and had the ability to turn into a ring. That was currently in my pocket. I decided to name my husky Edric, because why not. Edric had one power, flight, but i could make him invisible with a single touch so that doesn't matter. If I'm honest, I'm getting quite lonely, Octavia and Adeline haven't showed up yet. Wait- Its because they don't know where i am! Jeez, i forgot about them when i moved, oopsie. Y'know what? I have the power of creation, i am in need of human company, or i'll die of loneliness, why don't i just make a person? I walked over to my desk, opening the draws one by one, to gather the paper and pencils. To make something i had to either get an image of them or draw them, so i decided to make them as tall as me, a brunette, pink eyes. I was tempted to make him buff as heck, but decided against it, so he still had a soft touch, like you could totally fall asleep in his arms. I spent a good few hours working on his past, personality and powers. I made him 15, like me, noice. Then it all came down to his name, Cecil vesper. Perfect. I let out a happy giggle as i completed the ritual. In the morning, i would have a hot guy to drool over! Eeek! Oh….yeah, i have a girlfriend already. Oopsie. The familiar white glow around the paper made me squel for a second time. Wait, sleep will make the process speed up, as i realized that, i jumped into bed without a second thought. Falling asleep immediately.

'Hello? Miss lady? Where are we?'. An adorable, airy, male voice woke me up. 'Hi, Cecil, right? I'm Deirdre, and we are a mission' I explained, happy that i could create people with my powers. He nodded and slumped back on a bean bag chair. I was slightly tempted to make a second person but then the voice of reason in my head warned me of my tiredness from creating. I regenerated as much energy as i could and began my search. As quick as possible i jumped of the roof in a pencil dive, it seemed incredibly dangerous, but i transformed into an eagle and flew towards rows of buildings in the near distance. Cecil waved goodbye, as he flew of in the other direction to meet Moon and gather supplies for himself. Currently leaving me in silence, apart from the leaves on the trees rustling quietly. I missed Lydia, alot. I had to hope she wasn't dead, but just to make sure, i landed on a near branch of a large thick tree. I hit it three times with my fist and whispered the incantation. Suddenly, right where my fist had clashed with the wood, a circle screen appeared, showing Lydia talking on the phone to someone. When she saw me, she looked strangely panicked at the sight of me. Probably just didn't expect it. 'Deirdre! Whats up?' She slowly put her phone away. 'Nothing much, you?'. We continued to talk about random stuff till whoever she had been on call with before called her again. 'Sorry, i've got to go, Levi's calling me back!' yet i could tell that it wasn't Levi. Aka the hottest soldier at Moons palace. He had a long-ish black wolfcut, and electric blue eye, tanned skin and the same figure as Cecil, he had strangely out-turned ears, which were pierced with small, chunky, Silver hoops. I never spoke to him when i was at Moons place, in my defense, no one ever did. But for some bizarre reason every single person thought he was the hottest person on earth. I flew down through the trees and once again landed on a palace roof. This time i had no clue who owned the place though. But i did know one thing, i had finally reached my destination.

Clinging to a windowsill while chewing on a locket in the middle of the night was not what i expected to be doing on my usual Sundays. But here i was, clambering into the palace for the second time. Because i was in there for an hour before, just as i was stealing the enemies enchanted locket, then a flipping alarm went of. So i had to jump out the window. It annoyed me more then them murdering innocent people. Actually, that is incorrect, it did annoy me more that they were murderers, but at the time i was to busy escaping to realize what i had been thinking. Back to now, heh. I clambered back into the dark room, this time to hide a camera. I hid it right above the door and pressed on. This was gonna be good. I slipped under the door in the form of a spider, a sudden idea popped into my tiny head. Grenades. I scuttled away under doors till i found a small basement. I cackled evil-y as i summoned them, this was gonna be very good. I happily skipped away from an exploding building, listening to the satisfying screams of my enemies as they experienced excruciatingly painful deaths. fun. Suddenly, i felt like a psychopath. I had killed my traitor best friend out of anger, then i demolished a castle, that….still had innocents in it! I shape shifted into an eagle and flew as fast as i could towards the building. I managed to save 3 innocents. But when i was going to check for more, a grenade exploded nearby and everything went dark.

'Camie! Shes waking up!' An unfamiliar male voice shouted from my left. Footsteps and voices was all i could hear before my vision went blank again. A while later i woke up properly. I was surprised when someone helped me sit up. 'who?…where?' I was once again surprised when my voice sounded weak and…. How do i say this? Dry, i guess. 'Easy now, easy…I'm Perseus' He smiled warmly. As my vision came into view, i realized that he was actually quite cute. He had sandy hair, gold-ish eyes, a warm smile and a fair complexion. 'And were at this hideout place your friend, Cecil, brought us to' He explained. As he was speaking, a tall girl entered the room. I nearly fainted she was so hot. She had long, curly, rich brown hair, and her eyes were hazel. She was wearing an open red flannel with a white t-shirt underneath, and plain ripped jeans. I had a feeling she was judging me, you can't blame me, she looked the type to judge in my defense. Thats when i realized that everyone i met was hot….or cute…except Luciano. 'This is Cameron winch the salmon witch' Perseus grinned as he introduced her. 'Perce, that doesn't make any sense' She deadpanned. A girl walked in from behind her. She was short and tanned, with blonde princess-like curls, and beautiful rouge colored eyes. She was wearing a knee-length lacy soft pink dress, with a low neckline and short, loose, sleeves. Another idea popped into my head as i looked at all three of my saviors. 'I'm Azalea!' The blonde smiled and tilted her head from side to side. 'Jeez, leah, calm down' Perseus laughed at her hyper tone. I realized only now that i had saved these people…how long ago?. 'So… How long was i out for?' I questioned, dreading the reply. 'Three days' Cameron explained as Azalea plaited her hair. 'And why did Perseus call you the Salmon witch?' 'because hes an idiot' 'Oh- that makes a lot of sense'. Azalea and Cameron came over and plonked down on my bed. I already had felt a strange urge to protect them. Suddenly i didn't remember a damn quarter of the people at… Whats it called again? Loons palace? I can't even remember. I was dragged out of my thoughts when the familiar smell of steak wafted into the room. 'Dinners ready!'

Weeks past, and we became closer over time. I felt like i finally fit in, like i wasn't third-wheeling anymore. Something about them drew me in. A few days ago, Azalea had gone to look around the area, and found a guy. So he was also part of our group. But he was the creepy quiet kind so we avoided him as much as possible.

We were now sitting in a circle as i told them my idea. They seemed surprised that i would want them to have powers. 'Okay, so Perseus, your up first'. He scooted closer to me. I put my hands on his shoulder and automatically started mumbling incantations and affirmations. His eyes began to glow like a white fire and he floated a few feet above the ground before dropping to the floor again, coughing. 'What was that?' He asked strangely excited. 'I gave you enhanced intelligence, telekinesis and fire' I explained. 'Cameron your next!'. I repeated the process and smiled as she dropped to the ground. 'You got water manipulation, freeze and you can explode!'. Her eyes widened in excitement as i told her what she got. 'And finally, Azalea' She crawled forward excitedly. I placed my hands on her shoulders, my inner child squealing happily as i did the thing that made me sound like i was being possessed by a strangled fish. She floated up and dropped down, the fuscia colored glow fading as she grinned. 'And you got air manipulation, Energy blast, and-' i frowned. 'I don't know the third power, i can't tell what it is'. She just smiled and said that she could figure it out later. We all nodded. 'We should all go train, me and the guy Percy found, percy and Zay, (Azalea), Cameron and Deirdre' Cecil stuck his head in the door. 'Wait! Let me give our new friend three powers!'. Cecil stepped out of my way as i bolted to the small kitchen, were the new guy was. I repeated the process and he dropped to the floor as the cyan glow disappeared. 'I gave you Hyper speed, hover, and Barrier creation' i finished. I felt tired from taking my powers and giving them to four people. 'Oh, and whats your name?' I asked him. 'Uh, Evren' He answered looking sad as he looked at me. 'What is it?' I answered confusing overflowing from my voice. 'You see how the meaning of your name, in this world, can dictate your future, well, yours means Sorrowful' He sighed, 'i can't help but realize that you will have great sorrow' He stood up and left to train with cecil. What the actual heck just happened. I ran of to go train with Cameron to clear my mind.

'I'm 75 percent sure this won't explode on us' 'Why do you want to kill us' 'I don't!' 'Also you need to stop leaving dead bodies in the kitchen' 'Hey that wasn't me!' 'And i doubt that'. We listened to Perseus and Camerons intriguing arguement. Perseus had made some kind of vehicle, and Cameron expects him to murder us with it. Azalea and Cecil found it hilarious, but Evrens face stayed clear of any emotion. He was kind of intimidating to me. He had dark, emotionless eyes that made him look like he had no soul, and skin so pale he appeared to be made out of toilet paper, and His hair was the color of my grandmas ashes. But darker. Along with the fact that he was always wearing dark clothes. Who you tryna be? A moulding blackberry! Then i realized that everyone had gone quite, except Evren, who hadn't said anything since yesterday, when he told me i would go through stages of 'great sorrow', and it was all because of my name. 'What?' I asked my silent mission buddies. Evren grabbed my hand and dragged me into another room. 'Whats happening?' I was getting more confused by the second. He locked the door, trapping the others in the silent basement. 'We're under attack, they're currently possessed by a Loiytai' He explained, confusing me with the fancy monster names. 'Evren carwyn D'Angelo with Zelda fleur arden' A voice drawled. Confusion clouded both of our expressions. 'But Thats not my name?' I asked in concern. But Evren grabbed my arm and jumped out the window behind me, dragging me with him. Woah, i didn't know how pretty this view was…wait- how in earth are we flying? Oh yeah, Evren could fly. I had genuinely forgotten about that. We landed outside a large, old looking house. 'This was my moms house, she died, to a freak with the last name "Berman", i will avenge my mother someday'. I tried to ignore the what he had said, when suddenly i was reminded of his middle name. 'Carwyn…Carwyn?!' I burst out in hysterics.' 'Your a weirdo' He laughed with a smile. 'Blessed love' 'Flower'. We both burst out in hysterical laughter. Surprisingly, Evren was smiling. 'What does my first name mean?' I asked, badly wanting to know. 'It means gray fighting maid' He pushed some of my hair out of my face. We stared at eachother for a moment more. We stood back and he looked at my hair. 'Ummm, Flower? Your hair is turning red, like blood red'. He took my hand and led me to a mirror. I nearly fainted when i saw myself. Not only had my blondness shrank to only my roots, and the rest of my hair was blood red. I had a deep tan and clear skin with a huge scar that went from my hairline to my jaw. Evren put a hand on my shoulder. 'Calm it, flower' He laughed into my hair. I couldn't help but smile. I really wasn't the tall, blonde with a face full of acne i used to be. Thats when i realized that he was calling me flower. 'Okay, and i have something that i think you'll like'.

Hi! I loved your headcanons for BSD character mcs!! If it's alright with you, could I request the dorm leaders and vice dorm leaders with a fem! mc who is like Kunikida? (Idk why but the image of mc yelling at Leona to do something productive reminds me a little bit of Dazai and Kunikida's relationship)

Dorm leader + vice dorm leaders with a Kunikida!MC

warning(s): -

notes: LET'S GO OP I WAS ABT TO WRITE FOR KUNIKIDA MC BUT IT COMPLETELY LEFT MY MIND SO THANK YOU

•sorry its late tho JSNJSJS

You're very professional and diligent when it comes to your job. You constantly feel the need to organize, gather and schedule everything, which makes you come off as strict and harsh.

A trustworthy and loyal detective, your coworkers rely on you because of your authoritative capability and responsible nature.

Ability: The Matchless Poet (or Lone Poet i forgot), allows you to make objects written on the papers of your notebook come into existence. However, it does not work on objects larger than the notebook.

Riddle:

with your ideals and his rules, you guys can surely make the whole nrc cower in fear!

like they're in the cafeteria and they saw riddle? "i hope im not breaking any rules rn😥"

they're about to skip class and they saw you? "ah nvm, skipping is never an option😅"

you guys probably get along REALLY well

talking about the rules, ur ideals and how everyone is not following them

probably kins each other too at some point

you guys are now best buddies

like the whole school will always see the two of you hanging out once y'all have free time

i have free time today, hey wanna go to this unbirthday party?🤗

i have free time, wanna hang around, i made tea🤗

Trey:

oh sevens, another riddle😥

oh well trey dealt with riddle, so he knows how to deal with you too

tries his best to calm u down whenever some students pissed u off by ruining ur schedule

or anything u organized honestly

tells u to relax for a bit too

following a strict schedule everyday AND having to deal with the first years ruining ur schedule by accident AND not allowing urself to rest much???

he's right there next to you, trying to bribe you into resting

or threat idk🤔

it didn't work most of the times so

so he just have to be that one passive aggressive friend so you would rest or smth

did it work? sometimes if he tried harder

"u wouldn't want to ruin ur own schedule by passing out or anything right?^^"

"that's why i have enough sleep and exercise everyday"

^ur daily conversation probably

Leona:

if it's not for the fact that you're a lady, he would never listen to you lol

ruggie is forever greatful to have you around

bc as soon as u start telling leona off to stop skipping class and do something productive, he actually got up and do it

i mean he may looks like he's ten seconds away from ripping someone's throat out but at least he tries‼️

he actually leaves the class once he sees that you're not there but shhh

sometimes if he feels extra nice, he'll actually stay in the class

but he'll sleep in it LMAO he REFUSED to study

don't get him wrong, he appreciates that you even went out of your way to scold and sometimes motivate him to show his full potential but

he's a lazy lion at heart, you won't be able to get him to do anything

one time that happened again and someone snitched to you

leona is now forced to listen to your few hours lecture and how it does not fit ur ideals for him to not study

literally leona the whole time:

Azul:

oh you definitely got feed by his lies LMFOAOAOA

even azul himself is surprised by how naive you could be

BUT this only means MORE advantage to him👓✨

the amount of lies he fed u everyday...

its like that annoying scam seller that came knocking on ur door everyday

or those who tried to promote their "religion" cult on the streets

either way, that's how azul looks like to u everyday

he's sly so he probably made it seemed like smth good until jack just

pulls u away from azul so u won't get roped into some weird deal that won't benefit u at all

he ALWAYS finds a loophole in ur ideals so he can just

idk not follow but follow ur ideals at the same time?

Jade:

he doesn't really mind you that much? as long as you're not nagging him about something of course

which is lowkey rare bc u approve of him apparently🤔

like attitude, style and how he handles work? P E R F E C T. CHEF'S KISS

while u do like how he's on time for schedule and actually gets his work done, u don't really like how uh

scheming he can be😥

but oh well he's from octavinelle, u cant do much about it so u just avoid him

he's actually quite amused that u even approve of him

he didn't know he could fit ur ideals but now that he knows, you know he will never let it go

now u have to deal with a 191cm tall man looming over u and teasing u subtly nonstop

if he hace free time that is since hes usually busy with monstro lounge and floyd's antics🤔

Kalim:

u crying bc he reminds u of ur annoying coworker

him being happy meeting jamil's best buddy

yes i said best buddy what about it

he actually liked to listen to ur rant abt ur ideals

i mean he may not understand it fully but he's willing to listen!

literally dragged u to his parties

yes, u dont like parties. yes, u have works to do

but u gotta relax and have fun sometimes prefect so let him drag u to have fun!

cue u standing in the corner with a glass of juice in hand

"what do people do at parties?" u may ask

and then u see kalim absolutely eating up the dance floor and having fun

oh.

he would even try to drag u to dance with him

goodluck trying to get away from said party

Jamil:

cries heavy tears

it's tears of happiness btw

fiNALly! someone who can take his place to take care of kalim once in a while!

the gods have finally heard his prayers after all this time, he's so happy

sometimes, he would even hang out with you just because

well if you're both not busy that is🤔

he's mostly busy with kalim's shenanigans and you have your day planned out already so

so if u both EVER have a free time, you guys would hang out‼️

with kalim tagging along ofc bc he can't really leave him alone

him being even more happy bc u don't have this favoritism towards either of them and actually treats them equally

and not treating him like kalim's shadow

him to u probably

Vil:

ah yes, probably got along too

he agree with ur ideals here and there

esp if it have smth to do with having good posture and how to present yourself better

might even ask to read through some of it

who knows, he might get a nice advice here and there

he would also give u some advice

u writing it down on ur book and trying to achieve that exact same thing the very next day

and vil wiping a single tear that left from his eyes bc omg!! that's his student!!

/hj

he does feel a sense of pride and is actually very proud of himself and u a little whenever u listen to his advice

probably the one to do ur makeup if he have spare time just so he can make sure u look the absolute best💯

overall, could be best advice buddies but both are too busy to hang out too🤗

Rook:

caught him following stalking a someone

so now he's in a lecture abt how that's wrong

he is kind of like 🤩 when he first saw u

who is this strict prefect he may ask🤔

it's you🤩‼️‼️

while he does not follow u around daily, he does sing praises to you whenever u two crossed paths

welp there goes ur schedule😔you're 10 seconds late bc of him😔

actually doesn't mind his praises, u just wish he wouldn't tell u in the middle of the hallways

probably one of the first ones to find out about your ability

with rook and his stalking investigation skills, he can and will find out everything‼️

him cornering u sometimes just so he can tell u more praises

u shaking and crying bc u just wanna go through ur schedule and this is the 5th time he stopped u this week and it's only monday

Idia:

a victim of u

in a good way i think🤔

ortho is probably the one whp introduced y'all

you, who saw idia , rolled up your sleeves and tried to make him have a healthier lifestyle

ofc u won't drag him out

it's just u whipping out a 100 slides powerpoint with your ideal book in hand telling him how much negative impact it would have living the way he is and ways to improve

he's shaking and crying bc u did this everytime you guys meet in his room

how do u even get in his room? i don't know either

he would sometimes roll his eyes here and there when u go on ur daily lecture

probably also saw u pull out some items from ur book bc u have to outline smth in the powerpoint to prove ur point

and he just goes🤨😮⁉️⁉️

it's a magic book⁉️⁉️

found out u can also pull out a gun from that and decided to listen carefully to your lectures from that day on

Malleus:

well he doesn't mind how strict u are with urself and others

he thinks its a rather good quality to have

he, as a future ruler, can surely learn a thing or two from u

u sobbing bc there's finally someone who's willing to go with ur ideals after riddle

he listens to u really well, he even tried to his best to follow it!

but there are times he would tell u to relax for a bit too

u must've been tired🤗come with him for a walk to rest ur mind🤗

u rejecting it bc its supposed to be ur bedtime

u going with him anyway bc he somehow convinced you

with sad lightnings bc he was sulking LMFOAOAOA

Lilia:

peepaw is always there to tell u to relax!

you'll get burnt out if u keep putting ur 100 into everything and putting urself into some strict schedule, take a break sometimes

found out how naive u could be

u could now see lilia growing horns and devil's tail

there's not a day lilia won't trick u

be it for his own amusement or for u to rest

like maybe he would make up some lie like

"in nrc, if u don't rest for a few hours, you'll surely get cursed by the great sevens for ur ideals to never come true"

cue u having tea time with lilia as rest, eating cookies and chatting away

it's a gamble if it's homemade by yours truly or brought from Sam's store

if it's made by lilia, then u can scold him once u made a trip to the infirmary🤗

probably tried to help him around in the kitchen so he could make better food

he appreciates it but his cooking, in fact, did not improve at all

in fact, its ur headache that improved bc of how many times u have to stop him from putting random ingredients in

nct dream reaction to their idol!reader girlfriend being shipped with another idol

anon: nct dream reaction to their idol!reader girlfriend being shipped with some other idol :) love your works btw. and thank you for this in advance

pairing: nct dream x idol!reader

genre: headcanons, fluff, crack

warnings: mentions of insecurities

a/n: dhsjdj technically my requests are closed rn but I decided I would write this out so I hope you enjoy this!

mark lee

confused boi™

tbh he wouldn't even notice you were being shipped with another idol until another member points it out

you were a special guest mc for the show and fans saw the cute interactions you had with the boyz juyeon

and soon enough fans started shipping the both of you together

in reality, you and juyeon were just high school friends and you were glad to see him again

fans on the other hand,,

mark didn't realise you were being shipped with juyeon until doyoung pointed it one day

and mark was all like

( ・◇・)？"nani? y/n and juyeon???"

he would then search up ynjuyeon on twitter because cough yeah

and found a shit ton of edits of the both of y'all

and now he's sad :((

he's sad that because no one shipped y'all together

"isn't your relationship a secret???"

"yeah but still :((("

mark sweetie y'all have neve interacted on stage before fjdjdndnd

he knows you love him and would never cheat on him

but boy is he going to be a pouty baby when y'all hang out next time

literally all he's going to say is:

"why do they ship you and him together?? why not me :(("

"mark they've never seen us in the same room before"

huang renjun

unbothered king™

at least that's what he tells you fhdjdj

he found out through a vlive fhdhdjj

it was one of the usernames and the username was like ynxyanan_shipper

and renjun mf squinted his eyes like

did I read that clearly ಠ_ಠ

he's like yn and wHO

chenle was beside him when it happened and chenle was like what's wrong

and renjun points out the username

and chenle starts lauGHING BECAUSE HE FINDS IT SO FUNNY

renjun smacks him on the head to tell him to shut up DHHSHDD

obviously he would take a screenshot of the username and sends it to you

and he's like

short king <3: do you hv something to confess to me

you: ,,, my love for you??

short king <3: blocked

you: HAHSAHS IM KIDDING

tbh you find the situation honestly really funny

cause you and yanan aren't exactly friends? you're more of acquaintances than friends

and you made eye contact one (1) time with him by accident at an award show and suddenly you're being shipped with him

when you call him the next time to hang out, definitely expect him to be salty about it fjdjfjd

"hey are you free to come over today?"

"I don't know, why don't you ask your BOYFRIEND yanan"

"renjun istg i will break up with you-"

lee jeno

oh baby boy is gonna be so so confused

he's going to be even more confused because you're being shipped with itzy's chaeryeong fhfhfjf

see you and chaeryeong were featured in an episode of a reality tv show once

and the both of y'all immediately hit it off and your friendship was just adorable

so y'all kept interacting every time y'all see each other

and y'all are now nicknamed as the 4th gen gfs because y'all are so adorable???

like the chaeryn ship ur most popular ship ever

so jeno is so confused?? like why is his gf being shipped with her??

he's like a whole ass puppy okay

you, on the other hand, find the chaeryn ship really cute so you don't mind it and you jokingly call chaeryeong your gf once or twice on live before fjdjfn

whenever you tell him that you're hanging out with chaeryeong, he will pout at you and give you his best puppy eyes

like he will cling onto you and try to convince you to now to go

it works like 13% of the time and you would cancel plans with chaer but most of time it doesn't and you would end up being late jhdjsh

but it will slowly become into an inside joke between y'all

like yk that one meme

"this is yn my girlfriend and her girlfriend chaeryeong"

kjdhkjshfs yeah that

but in all seriousness, jeno is really unbothered about you being shipped with chaeryeong because it basically has the same energy as him being shipped with jaemin

whenever y'all are having play fights, you jokingly threaten to leave him for chaeryeong jdsfjds and he immediately stops and says that's unfair

pls shower him in hugs and kisses later

lee haechan

definitely makes a fuss about it

i mean he knows that you aren't going to leave him and all but is he going to be dramatic about it? yes, yes he is

he finds out by himself because he was probably on twitter stalking your hashtag

when he suddenly stumbles upon and edit of you and ateez's san

he's like O.O wot is tHis?

screenshots the edit and sends it to you

hyuckie: yNNNN

hyuckie: THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

hyuckie: BABY

hyuckie: SUGAR BUM

hyuckie: DAISY PIE

you: what in, the ever loving fuck, is daisy pie

hyuckie: *sends screenshot* ARE U CHEATING ON ME

you: hyuck that pic is clearly edited

hyuckie: I KNOW BUT ARE YOU????

you: i-

he makes so much jokes about it that you literally have to shut him up with a kiss

jokes on u reader he's doing this on purpose to get those free kisses

the jokes stop when you actually finally meet san during a game show and shippers are like omg they finally interacted

and the amount of ynxsan edits just,, grow

haechan acts even salty about it and whines about why fan don't ship y'all together when y'all have made eye contact during the golden disk awards bc he was being a lil shit hdsjhfjds

"hey what if i keep staring at you during the melon so we can get into a scandal?"

"hyuck this is supposed to be a secret relationship-"

"yeah but-"

jokes on u he actually does stare at you at the next award show and thankfully did not get into any scandals, but fans started to ship the both of you!

na jaemin

the true unbothered king

literally does not care that you are shipped with someone else

because he knows that he is yours and vice versa

and plus you love him a lot so

he finds out from chenle, who did it out of spite because one day chenle was bored and wanted to cause some chaos

boi basically ran up to jaemin to shove an edit of you and treasurer's junkyu together and went like

"look hyung! ur gf is being shipped with someone eLsE"

"oh that's weird"

"rigHT"

"I thought people shipped her with treasurer's hyunsuk"

chenle is like

HUH???

"aren't you like,, jeaolous??"

jaemin just shrugs and says "hmm, not really"

jaemin knows that you are good friends wth a lot of idols because you're a social butterfly

so he truly doesn't mind when you get shipped with other idols bc in the end , he's the one holding you in his arms

plus he knows the edits and shippers are mostly harmless

and he trusts you

so he just fucks around with chenle jkldsfj

chenle is still confused bc he wants to rile jaemin up for fun but failed hjdshf

zhong chenle

if you thought haechan was dramatic, then you better buckle up for chenle's

so you see

fans already shipped u and chenle

like

y'all already have a dating scandal

and both companies tried so hard to defuse it

see you are an mc for a music show and you were interviewing nct dream

chenle, being the lil shit he is, kept giving you the heart eyes the entire time

and 6 months later, y'all got caught by dispatch on a daTe

ofc both sides were panicking but chenle was enjoying bc he's like "yeah this is my s/o and what abt it"

but y'all still had a dating ban so sm was this close in kicking him hfdsjfh

fortunately, they were able to cover it up as someone else so there's that

so chenle is aware that fans shipped the both of you together

so when he sees you being shipped with stray kid's jeongin

he was like "HOW DARE THEY-"

calls you to complain about the ship for 3 hours

and that is how you found out as well-

literally you don't even know jeongin so you just let chenle complain about it

he goes on and on about why fans should continue to ship y'all together so when he reveals the relationship the fans will be surprised but also not really at the same time-

"should i get into another scandal with you?"

"chenle no-"

park jisung

oh baby boy is going to be very, very confused

i mean he knows that shipping is a thing between fans

he's just confused why ppl would ship you and p1harmony's keeho

like you have never interacted with him so why would fans ship the both of y'all??

the dreamies mostly tell him to not take it serious but the chenle and haechan would egg him on

"get into a dating scandal with them"

"guys no-"

he wouldn't tell you that it bothers him because he doesn't want you laughing at him, worrying over a small issue

so honestly, it lowkey eats him up on the inside

until one day, you basically force it out of him because he's been acting weird for the past week

he finally confesses about the what's bothering him

and you tell him that you wouldn't have laughed at him

you know shipping idols is a common thing in the industry and sometimes it's uncomfortable knowing it when you're already in a relationship

but you also tell him that it's basically harmless because fans can't really force the both of y'all together

jisung would be insecure about the relationship because it's kinda of his first? so he just doesn't want to mess it up

just reassure him a lot and tell him that you won't leave him

and as time goes by, he just gets used to the shipping

[jungw8ns]

GOING TO AN ESCAPE ROOM WITH ENHYPEN !

PAIRING: boyfriend!enha x gn!reader. GENRE: established relationship, fluff, crack. WARNINGS: profanity (not that much tho), mentions of death (?). WORD COUNT: 100 - 200 each member.

HEESEUNG:

the two of you were so pumped playing an escape room together for the first time that the other people in line had to calm you guys down (which was trully embarrassing to say the least 🤐🤐)

he was looking at the ranking board filled with pictures of players that had succeeded in the shortest amount of time and he just wanted nothing more than to see both your faces on there

but anyways, we all know how competitive heeseung gets 🕴️

oh boy let me tell you, this guy WAS SPEEDRUNNING IT but not the kind you were thinking

the second the timer had started he was literally SPRINTING AROUND THE ROOM LOOKING FOR CLUES YET COMPLETELY MISSING THEM 🏃‍♂️💨💨💨

while he was busy running around, you were picking up the little details in the room and in no time managed to open a few locks

"y/n look i found– oh 😐😑😐"

HE WAS SULKING PLSSS 😭😭😭

when you noticed him standing from afar staring at you with his arms crossed, you called him to solve this one puzzle you already did

*gasps* "oh no! babe i don't understand how to do this, please help me 😔😔🤥🙏🙏"

he had to bite his lower lip to stop himself from letting out that cocky grin but it got out eventually

"oh it's so easy sweetheart, just put this here and then voila! 😉"

when the two of you escaped you suprisingly got to take a polaroid with him home after ranking 2nd in the records

heeseung was the one who held onto it tho, placing it underneath his clear phonecase for safekeeping <3

JAY:

GOD THIS DUDE

THE ESCAPE ROOM WASN'T EVEN THAT SCARY AND YET EVERYTIME YOU GUYS OPEN A LOCK OR A DOOR HIS FIGHT OR FLIGHT INSTINCTS COME UP 😭😭👊👊

"y/n stay behind me >:(("

"um, babe, you do realize that's just a door right?"

"WE'LL BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY?? THE STAFF COULD'VE PROGRAMMED IT TO GROW LEGS?? 😵🧐🧐"

you knew you shouldn't have played horror games with him a few nights ago cause he looked like he was about to lose his mind 😔

you had to shove his ass aside and move on to the next mission cause the both of you knew that he was stalling 🏌️‍♀️

jay was being extra clingy the whole time you were playing, he'd either link arms with you or hold hands (he's literally so adorable) 💞💞

BUT THEN YOU THOUGHT OF DOING A PRANK ON HIM

while you were roaming around the room trying to solve a puzzle, you saw this horse mask on a nearby table

and so you made sure jay was distracted and put on the mask

you could've NOT worn the dusty old thing but where was the fun in that?

"jay can you come here for a sec?"

you hid behind the wall beside the door frame waiting for him to come into your sight and attacked him

now, how about we guess what happens next?

a. he faints

b. he runs away

or c. he slaps you in the face and forces you to buy him food for the rest of the night

if you guessed c then YAY! YOU'RE CORRECT 🥳🎉🎉🎊

THIS HOE SLAPS YOU AS HE SHOULD

"$##/@+(+'£%(:?!!)&£**/*%@"

when he finally takes off the mask like those scenes in scooby doo he's never felt so betrayed in his life

"i- I TRUSTED YOU 😭😭😭 YOU BETTER BUY ME FOOD LATER, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, THE BETRAYAL???? LITERALLY UNPROVOKED?????"

he wouldn't stop side eyeing you until you guys finally pulled up on the mcdonalds drive thru

"hi, can i get two um– bts meals please? 😒😒 and two oreo mc flurries 🙄🙄 and also large fries 😐😐"

sane (1/3)

would be trailing behind you like a little puppy (i love him so much 😭😭😭)

he either has his arm linked with yours or held hands every five minutes

JAKE:

really focused on the puzzles he's doing but the second he hears you call out his name for help he's there beside you with the sweetest smile

but anyways, mans was POPPING OFF the entire time you were playing

he was solving problem after problem in no time (he wanted to impress you is why he activated his inner flash ⚡⚡) but he did let you play tho, the last thing he wanted to do was make you pissed at him for hogging all the games

def buried jake with compliments and forehead kisses right after ❤️__❤️

and so the two of you got out in like an hour and a few which you were very proud of

"you were so cool today babe, good job !!"

"aww thank you angel 😊😊"

sane (2/3)

SUNGHOON:

would be linking pinkies with you the whole time, only letting go whenever the both of you had to solve something that needed two or more people

there was this one game tho where he had to arm wrestle this literal hand lever to open the door to the last room (yea...don’t ask why, the staffs were pretty weird 😬😬) 

it made him enjoy the experience a bit more as it was only the two of you playing instead of getting accompanied by strangers

HGAWAHSGDHSGHDA PLSS THIS GUY

“oh this’ll be easy, y/n step aside, i’ll handle this 😏😏😏”

idk if you were supposed to think about how handsome he looked with his serious expression on and his veiny hands coming into frame or be worried for him because the lever was REAL HARD to pull that his veins looked like they were going to pop any second soon, you stepped in and helped him tho cause you were a good s/o <3

from a spectators point of view, the two of you looked like y’all were about shit your pants but the two of you eventually succeeded on beating it, immediately dragging him to the next room which had a sofa in it, laying down to catch your breaths

cliché moment ahead ⚠️⚠️

the two of you shared a few laughs before standing up on the empty space, held hands and started to jump in circles to celebrate your success 💃💃

yupp, y’all were never going back to that hellhole again

very stubborn at first, he wanted nothing to do with the game but then you held him at gunpoint by saying:

SUNOO:

"please just this once or else i'll revoke your mint choco ice cream rights 🔫🔫🔫"

"BUT IT'S SCARY IN THERE BABE :((("

"it won't be that scary sunshine, besides, i'll be ready to 🤜💥 yk?? trust me babe i would never let anyone hurt you <33"

kinda pissed since you blackmailed him into the place and also bc he wanted to play bumper cars and dance mania but he yea he caved in pretty quick 😋😋

(y/n let him play his games in peace tf >:(((( )

once you guys got in tho he realized how normal it was and that it was not terrifying at all

THE EPITOME OF CLINGY OMFG

he wouldn't stop back hugging you and you couldn't bring yourself to push him away to play the games so you just let him walk behind you with his arms on your shoulders 😩😩

(y'all were walking kinda funny but don't tell sunoo that 🤫🤫🤫)

yea the two of you ended up escaping with a whopping 2 hours and a few minutes

but it was the effort that counts so A+++++ for the both if you 😜👍👍👍

sane (3/3)

JUNGWON:

was the one who suggested going, he even searched on naver about really good escape room places to visit and was overall really looking forward it

he liked going to places and having fun with you so it wasn't a shock how his eyes were literally crescents and his dimples were so evident

yea he literally rushed the both of you to the place that you were the first in line 😵

while waiting for the staff to finish setting up he was playing with your connected hands like 🖐️✊🖐️✊ (so precious 💞💞)

"y/n why are you taking so long 😭😭 what if they close and we end up not solving a single lock, hurry up por favorrr 😩🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏"

when they finally lead you to the room he was kind of surprised that they had separated the two of you into different spaces (like the one with txt where they had the answers to the other member's puzzles yk???)

he was locked inside a telephone stand while you were handcuffed in the main room

dw the two of you reunited after a few minutes cause jungwon was rushing his lock to get to you 🤭

you both were progressing at an average pace and it made you guys a lot more closer (not that you guys weren't before but you get what i mean)

after you guys escaped the two of you went to eat curry and talked about the whole experience 😋✌️✌️✌️

this boy literally dragged you in the escape room with him

NIKI:

HE DIDN'T EVEN GIVE YOU TIME TO REFUSE HE JUST 😐👉🚪

"ok masterchefs, in order to test your abilities we must go through series of puzzles and make it out alive, understood?"

he tried ignoring how confused you were and went on to try and get you guys to escape

HE'S LAUGHING AT YOU FOR WHATEVER REASON AND OBV YOU LAUGH ASWELL CAUSE WHO WOULDN'T??? his laugh is so contagious pls 🤖🤖 he was so close to d wording cause he couldn't breathe from laughing too much

yea.. you guys spent so much time laughing at each other for being so dumb at this that you ended up playing 'till closing time

spoiler alert: he fails on doing anything cause the second you made eye contact with him this child collapses 😍🤩

GIRL SO EMBARRASSING 🤡🤡

THE STAFF KICKED THE BOTH OF YOU OUT AND NOW YOU GUYS WERE BANNED FROM THE PLACE ☠️☠️

"haunted house next weekend???"

"BET"

NOTE – god they were WAY funnier in my head but yeah.... i love them so much AND OMFG HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN HEESEUNG’S SELCAS LAST NIGHT???!?@??#?@?!?@ HE’S NOT REAL WTF ⁉️❓❓⁉️

also, idk why BUT EVERY TIME I SAVE A DRAFT the paragraphs get scrambled?? £!?) 6=6) 🤣😂💔💔🤣🤣😂💔 it's so annoying but anyways, ilysm pls stay safe and have a great day <33

Experiment

Hange Zoe x fem! reader Oneshot

⚠ Sexual Content Ahead ⚠

Summary : Hange and you have been dating each other for quite some time. One day due to rain, you went over to Hange's and hehe hot stuff happens.

I've used they/them pronouns for Hange due to them being non-binary, hope y'all don't mind. :)

"HANGEEEE!" screaming down the hallway near the university laboratory, you entered said place joltily.

By this time all the science students were used you to coming by everyday while causing a ruckus to meet your significant other. You couldn't help yourself being always excited to see the only person who could make your day a million times better and today as usual you had something interesting to show them. Well, by interesting you meant something random you saw that day and just picked it up to give it to Hange. Never were they ever weird out by this as they were as eccentric as you.

"Look what I found today!" proudly bringing your hand close to their face to show them the red rock you saw in your yard.

"Heh, as usual my dear y/n, you never fail to fascinate me," they chuckled eyeing the objet closely.

"I shall add this wonderful rock to my series of collection of stuff you keep bringing to me everyday!" smilingly Hange took it.

This brought a faint blush on your cheeks as just the thought of Hange keeping the random stuff you bringing daily made you feel somewhat special.

" Sooo, what are you working on today?" you questioned them while looking at the equipment on the table.

"Ohohoho you don't know what I've just made!" they excitedly said dexterously arranging the mess to show you.

While they were enthusiastically explaining to you her recent invention, you couldn't help but stare at their jolliness. The way they made absolutely anything sound captivating just spellbound you. To describe it, it was like a meteor shower falling enlightening the night sky which you could gaze for hours, yeah, that's how Hange was.

"Hihi, that's awesome! I'm so proud of you!" you praised her happily.

"Hehe, I'm glad you appreciated my invention, after all I am your better half," haughtily they said which made you subconsciously smile.

Right at that moment a loud thunder was heard making you jump. Since morning it's been cloudy and you really hoped that it wouldn't rain in the evening as it would pose a problem for you to travel home by bus. The droplets were hitting hard against the window panes indicating it was a heavy shower. Disappointment filled your being.

"Noo, now how would I reach the bus stop on time with this weather," you complained utterly dejected and tensed.

"You know y/n, you can always ask me for a ride in my car right?" Hange said while pouring a clear liquid in a testing tube.

"I know but I don't wanna bother you."

"Oh come-on y/n, how can you ever bother me?" they reassured, "and if you really don't want to sound like a trouble then come over to my appartment. It's win-win situation, you reach home and I would get more time to spend with you."

"W-what, Hange please, ugh okay then I'll come with you," sighing you responded.

Waiting for Hange to finish up whatever they were doing but it wasn't as though you as a finance student would understand it to be able to help her out. Instead you were scrolling on Tiktok when they came up to you without warning making you jerk, "GOSH HANGE! YOU COULD HAVE CALLED FOR ME."

Chuckling, Hange grabbed your hand to make you stand up. Losing your footing, you fell in their arms which they gladly grabbed you. Giving you a brief forehead kiss, they proceeded to drag you to the parking lot. At first you didn't process the action making you scream but when you got the hang of it, you ran alongside with them hand in hand laughing.

Hange unlocked the car and you got into the front passenger seat. Both of you were laughing while still catching your breaths.

"Now off to my house we gooo!" Hange yelled as you were wearing your seatbelt.

Throughout the whole ride both of you conversed about each of your days and the daily news.

"Can you believe that Sasha and Nicollo are finally going out with each other? I always knew that they were a match made in heaven," you rambled as Hange listened to you intently while also focusing on the road.

"I mean I could see it happening seeing their compatibility and the way they complete each other, just like you complete me," Hange added.

Her last words made your face heat up which you hid by looking outside. Luckily for you, you finally reached your destination. It wasn't the first you came over to her appartement so you took her keys and ran inside. Normally her place would be messy like a dumpster because that human barely had time in her hands to take care of their house but for once it was spotless clean.

"Did Levi come over?" you asked them, hand on your hip.

"I-yeah. Yesterday he did. But I swear I'll try to be more responsible from now on!" Hange affirmed.

You took a deep breath and asked, "so what are we eating tonight?"

"I don't know y/n, you choose," they replied kicking their boots off to enter the residence.

"How about we order Pizza?"

"Sure thing love," grabbing her phone to order said food, Hange said.

"How about you go take a bath while I take out plates?" you suggested.

"I mean only if you're willing to join me," they smirked while leaning on the door.

Out of embarrassment you threw a pillow laying on the couch at her, "NO!"

"Sad, I was really hoping for some fun in there," they replied before running into the bathroom as you were about to hit them with another pillow.

While you waited for her to come out so that you in your turn could go freshen up, you arranged everything to be able to eat. Having such nights with Hange is always something you've dreamt of doing but you never had the courage to ask.

A few moments later, Hange came out with hair dripping wet which they were trying to dry with a towel. Damn they looked hot in that condition. Before you could start simp over them, you excused yourself to go bathe.

Feeling the warm water touch your skin evaporated all your stress from you as you relaxed. Coming out of the bathroom wearing Hange's clothes, you went to sit next to them on the couch. You noticed that the pizza had already arrived so you took a piece of it to eat. You two watched this popular series called 'Attack on titan' together until the pizza was finished.

Throwing the pizza cardboard in the bin, you went to see Hange already laying on the bed. Scooting to them, you placed your head on their shoulder as they held you tight with one arm and the other holding their phone. You were watching memes with her laughing when suddenly there was a video of two girls kissing came up which made your heart beat faster. You could tell Hange felt so as well as she swiped quickly to prevent awkwardness.

A little bit of tension remained in both of you yet no one made the first move. It kept growing as you felt their hot breath on your face because you were leaning on them.

Feeling bothered and assuming that Hange wasn't going to initiate it, you snatched their phone from their hand and kept it on the table next to the bed for you to straddle on them.

Shifting yourself to be more comfortable, you leaned down to smack your lips against theirs. Still processing whatever just happened, Hange went with the flow. For this moment at least. Hands on your ass, they squeezed them as you laid your body on theirs.

Lips still crashed against each others and tongues still fighting over control, Hange's minds began to fill with sexual fantasies that they could enact on you in this precise moment.

Pulling back from you, they settled your body on the bed to go search for something in the wardrobe. They came back with a blindfold facing you.

"Do you mind if I take your vision away for a while? I don't want to ruin the surprise of what I'm going to do to you."

Gulping hardly you took the black cloth and blinded yourself.

"Good girl," Hange praised giving you a headpat to continue their rummage.

With no warnings, you were pushed on the bed lightly. At first you didn't understand what was going on but that was before you felt a rope on your wrists which was being wrapped around them individually then pulled upwards signaling it was being tied down to the bed. The same thing was done for both of your legs.

Anticipation mounted in you as you felt hands running from your chest to your stomach.

"I hope that the ropes are not too tight, are they?" they concernedly asked.

You shaked your head to say no still having the blindfold on.

"No? Well, then I think you would love this being in your mouth," they said coming closer to you. You were expecting her to stuff her fingers in but it ended up being something you certainly didn't anticipate at all.

Holding your head up, they made you wear it. Initially it was uncomfortable but you managed to deal with it as it only turned you on more. It was a gag ball.

You laid your head on a pillow desperately craving Hange's touch but of course they were still searching for something.

"Don't worry y/n, I'll come to you as soon as I find that one thing I bought last week I wanted to test out," Hange spoke from the other side of the room.

Trying to keep your growing lust in control, you fidgeted with the device in your mouth.

" Ah-ha! found it, now wait for me y/n, I'll fuck you into oblivion soon," their voice coming out breathless.

Feelings the sides of the bed sink and a presence hoving above you, you became more excited to what Hange was going to do this time.

Their soft lips colliding again against yours as their hands ran down to unbutton your shirt leaving your bare chest naked as you weren't wearing any undergarments. For a few seconds Hange didn't do anything. As you were ripped from your eyesight, you couldn't see that Hange was in fact staring at the prefect roundness of your boobs displayed to them .

Unable to contain themselves, they ran their tongue on one of your breasts while the other was being fondled with their hands. Your breathing was quickening at their doings. Out of nowhere they bit your nipple softly making you bit the gagball stifling a moan.

Going lower on you they pulled down your pants while they kissed you on your bellybutton. Without warning again you felt a pain on your hip and teeth leaving your skin. Biting you again on the other side of your hip, Hange caressed your inner thighs. This time you couldn't contain the moan as it escaped your mouth through the gag ball.

Looking at your entrance, Hange saw that though they didn't yet completely lay hands on you, you were soaking wet. Then they assumed that it was probably from the long amount of time you had to wait for them.

You heard the opening of the cap of a tube. Your mind raced through all the possibilities of what it could be.

But of course it was the least thing you could expect as you felt something touching your cunt.

It was a lukewarm rubbery thing that was being ran through your swollen folds.

"Wanna guess what it is? Y/n," Hange said as you felt the object or whatever it was penetrate you. An 'hmm' came out of you as your back arched graciously making Hange widen their eyes.

"Ahaha, y/n you beautiful creature! You never cease to amaze me the more I explore you,"Hange complimented pushing the thing deeper into you.

" Lemme reward you for blessing me with his gorgeous sight and return you back your vision, "they continued.

Your insides felt empty as Hange had to remove the item to open the blindfold. You must say you had quite of the shocker to see them. Straddling you was a Hange that you didn't recognize.

They were wearing a black lingerie delicately complimented with black thigh highs and on their pelvis area was a strap-on-dildo.

"I wanted to experiment this on you," they gave you a light smirk before positioning themselves in front of your pussy. Taking the small bottle thrown on the bed nearby, Hange opened it. It was lube. Dropping quite some on the dildo, Hange jerked it to spread the lubricant.

Placing their hand on your hips for support, Hange inserted it again.

They couldn't describe how much they ravished to look at you in this state. As they were thrusting their hips in and out, the room became filled with your moans and Hange's name.

"Yes y/n scream my name louder. Make the neighbours hear how good I'm making you feel," Hange panted.

'Hmmm Hange I'm getting close, go faster please, "you begged them.

Taking your wishes into consideration, Hange did not double up the speed but rather trippled it. You were practically shaking on the bed as your screams got louder and louder.

Not late enough, you released yourself on them. The pleasure was so unbearable it almost hurted. Panting on the bed, you looked at the ceiling to regain control of yourself. Then looking back at Hange, only to see that they were already staring at you lovingly.

"Can you untie me now? I need to pee," you coughed.

"Ahaha, no piss on the bed," Hange declared as you were startled by their statement.

"Just kidding lemme help you refresh yourself," Hange joked making you feel relieved.

End.

Thank you for reading this. :)

Gathering Act III: culling ritual

The next day I woke up in Dexter and Connor’s apartment. All of our significant others had schedules so it was a “guys” day for the time being after showering and getting ready we all went to get breakfast. When we got to the spot you'll never guess who we saw there. Because I know I wouldn't. So there's the scenario we are sitting about to order food when in walks this brunette lady with a mask on. She has a cap on so no one can recognize her.

“I'll tell you later,” I say. I approach the young lady as non-menacingly as possible she looks up at me and I ask, “I'm pretty sure you get this a lot but by chance are you Sana of twice? I say loud enough so she can hear me but not loud enough to make a scene. The young woman smiles with wide eyes and pulls me to sit down with her.

“How did you know? No one else knew it was me.”

“Well, you have a Sana walk,” I said. I tried to keep my language simple so she could reply as I remembered she struggled with English.

“A Sana walk… I like that. So I take it you are once?” she asked. I nodded she moved closer and put her arm around me “You seem familiar.” she said with a hungry smile I hesitated because the aura she gave off was extremely similar to the succubi I had faced in the past.

“Well I went to one of y'all concerts a while back so maybe that's it,” I said.

Sana stroked my chin and said, “No that's not it. So what brings a strong psionic like you here.” her words sent all kinds of alarms in my head. So I chose my next words carefully

“Oh I was getting food and I saw you and wanted to ask if you would sign this,” I said as I pulled out a photo card.

“Do you have a pen?” Sana asked with a hungry smile. I nodded as I space-sifted a gold metallic Sharpie and handed it to her. Sana took the card out of the sleeve before signing it. “You know Slime Hydra I am surprised to see you here.” I freeze at her words. Sana takes off the mask and smiles again. She asks for my phone and against my better judgment I am beguiled to give it to her. She smiles as she opens it and puts her number in as she has me do the same with hers. “See now we're friends.” She says. I turn to her and face her as she puts the mask on.

“How do you know me?” I ask worried

“Oh, Dahyun’s friend Gahyeon mentions her crazy little brother. Also, you're pretty big news having fought at an award show after winning song of the year.” Sana teases

Broken out of whatever trance I was in I said in a louder tone “Younger brother? I'm older than her!”

“Oh, there's the excitement I've heard so much about.” Sana teased

I relaxed enough to talk to Sana like she was a regular person so I asked the following, “Okay what's your deal? Are you a succubus?”

Sana's eyes widened as she said “Straight to the point like Siyeon. Tell you what tell me your deal and I'll tell you mine.”

“I'm just a normal psionic,” I respond

“That's it?” Sana questions

“Yeah my power is just super weird and I have had it for so long it's been able to evolve twice not three times as of my 21st birthday,” I explain

“Evolve three times so that means you've had your power since you were one year old!” Sana exclaims

“Yeah, it has kinda been a pain, to be honest,” I reply

“Really?” Sana asked

“Yeah,” I confided.

“So how does it work I have been told and seen different things,” Sana asked intrigued

“Well first it was the eating and mimicry, then the slime-making constructs then it evolved to add the aura, and as of recently they have all fused to make slime Hydra I guess as manifestation of all the independent pieces,” I tell her

“Okay, so you aren't a slime Hydra?” Sana asked.

“I don't think so although… I don't know. Lami Orochi has always been in here ”I explained as I pointed to my forehead

“Well since you've been such a good boy I'll let you in on a secret. I am not a succubus but a psionic like you. My power is just similar to one.” Sana explained

“Oh so like Rogue from X-men?” I said

“Who?”Sana asked. I forget that not everyone knows who the X-men are.

“Oh right here's a video,” I said as I showed her a video explaining Rogue.

Sana smiled as she watched then turned to me and said, “Yes I'm that." Sana laughed before adding "Thank you for sitting with me and chatting. You're the first person not to freak out about me.”

“Well, I've seen a lot. So not much phases me. Have a nice day Mrs. Minatozaki.” I say as walk away.

Before I am out of reach Sana grabs me and says “You know we should hang out sometime later. You're pretty cool.”

“If it's a date I'm sorry I can't but as friends sure.”

Sana pouts roll her eyes, and then smiles the hungry smile before saying “Whatever. I'll see you soon. Enjoy the photo card you better not sell it.”

I nod as I head by to Connor and Dexter who had watched the entire thing and we're laughing at me.

“Dude you are so lame.” Connor teased as I sat back down.

“Well excuse me for being starstruck she is one of my ult biases,” I reply

“Oh that's surprising, but isn't Sakura also one of your ult biases?” Dexter added I nod and explain

“My ult biases are as follows Hasuel of Loona, Dami, Sakura, and all of twice. Yujin being my SO also has her special position.”

“So you just can't choose one of Twice?”

“They were my first girl group who got me into K-pop. They will always be my ult biases.”

“That's remarkably wholesome and thoughtful of you.”

“Well, I try to keep all of me in mind (past present, and future) whenever I do things. There will always be a part of me that's that kid who needed an escape when the world got crazy a few years ago, and to him Twice still has his heart on lock.”

My two friends smile at me then Dexter asks, “How do you have such a good relationship with your past?”

I shrug. We sit down and eat together all the while just enjoying each other's time.

We decided to play a fighting game for a little bit while we waited I picked a more set-based play character which didn't go unnoticed by the other two.

"Oh, you're playing him. that track," Connor says confidently

"Oh, really how so?" I ask

"dude you play Sultai," Connor says as if that answers everything

"I don't see how that applies," I say confused

"This gives me a better idea" Dex asserts

"Oh word what is it?" Connor asks

"Come on let's go," Dex says

I watch as Dexter opens a dimensional door. Connor and I walk through followed by Dex who has taken us to an open warehouse area.

"So this is a place where I come to train with my powers free of the public eye. It's a quiet upstate New York abandoned warehouse so we can go all out. (Dex eyed me) Somewhat." Dex explained and I understood what he meant by the somewhat.

"So you want to spare?" I ask

"Yes, I want to see what you're capable of because I have only seen glimpses," Dexter says

"Okay. Hey after this since we are in New York can we get Brooklyn Style Pizza?" I ask

"Oh, 100%," Dexter said

"Cool... Yo, why don't we hang out more often as just guys y'all are super cool." I asked

Connor and dexter blush before smiling. "Well this is the first time we have been able to, and you don't drink so we can't go to bars together," Connor answered

"Ok...I am going to do something that seems scary but bear with me. I have to mentally prepare to fight" I said to Dexter. Dexter nods and tells me to "take all the time I need."

I nod and begin pacing hyping myself up. before yelling "I Know A Ghost" I summon Recollection and Lami-Orochi's full form pops out. behind me. Dexter and Connor watch in awe. Dexter summons a flaming Axe and gets in a ready stance. I snap Recollection into its bowstaff form and run to Dexter. He gives a hefty axe swing which I block with recollection. I split off one of the sections and using the chain the section made an attack. Dexter uses a wall of fire which forces me to back off. after this, he creates a pool of water around him and throws what looks like seeds into it. from the water roots and branches begin to sprout and grow sharp then aim themselves at me. I jump high above the branches and the roots. I reconnect Recollection and throw the weapon down into the plants. slime begins to impede their growth as Recollection spews waves of it. I watch as Dexter snaps his fingers and flames start to overtake the branches before I can react the flames reach my slime causing an explosion and sending me flying. I get up quickly as I see him flying towards me. I roll out of the way of his attack. and make a slime wall that intercepts his next attack with his axe. I try to make some distance. but Dex is fast. so I decided instead to retreat to match his energy. if all he's going to do is press the attack well then I have some ideas. his next swing I dodged by jumping onto the back of his axe and running onto his shoulder where I smacked him with recollection. As I got distance I faced him and turned recollection into its B-formation I ran to the other edge of the warehouse and threw it as Dexter shot a giant fireball at me. the resulting explosion blew us both back. when I came to I looked up to see Dexter smiling. he helped me up

"That was pretty cool," he said as we got up. "I never knew slime could be so versatile," Dexter exclaimed

"Well yeah, non-newtonian liquids are quite fun to use," I say

"You're telling me. I watched you use it as defense offense and more" Connor said running close. "Your weapon is also insane what is it?"

"Oh, that's recollection. it's a multi-tool I use when fighting."

"Multi-tool is right It went from shuriken to nunchucks to bow staw to whatever that thing you did with the spike." Dexter said, "You may not be outright more powerful than me but your versatility and ways to just have to deal with power is crazy." Dex concedes

"Thanks, I say appreciative," I say

"So that slime what was that?" Dexter asks

"I don't know. the most I can say is think of it like mimeoplasm." I say

"Mimeoplasm?" Connor asks

"Yeah like the commander from 2011," I explain

"I don't think I have seen that before," Dexter says to which Connor nods

"Oh okay, I'll pull it up then," I say

"Oh, that thing. okay, that makes more sense." Connor said reading the card and then handing it to Dexter

After our little match and lunch, we headed back to their apartment. Dexter has to run some errands. A little after that Yunjin arrives to talk to Connor, and takes him as well. Leaving me with Chaewon who was with Yunjin when she came in.

Hey Tj-ah."

"Hi Chae how are you today?

"I'm good."

Chaewon sits next to me and smiles. we sit in silence for a moment before she asks, "Hey did you see that Astrid is doing another of the GG mega mixers?"

"No, I didn't tell me more?"

"Well it's Gen three and I know all the Izone girls have agreed to do it. she also got Twice, Dreamcatcher, Red Velvet, Loona, and ClC."

I groan at that, but don't let my emotions run too plainly.

"Oh, why didn't you know? We thought you would be back. She told us she's bringing all the old staff back for the first one?"

"No, she didn't but also me and Astrid aren't in the best place right now," I explain to Chaewon. She looks at me with a worried look.

"So you aren't helping?"

"Not currently."

Chaewon sends a text on her phone before sending a flurry of them. after that Chaewon nestles in closer.

"You know I am dating Yujin right Or at least am trying to?"

"Yeah, but you're just so cuddly and warm. Besides what if she can't be set free what will you do then?" Chaewon defends herself.

I look at her and my confidence falters for a moment. I haven't considered things not working out, even for a moment, "Okay well I will let you chill but..." I say to Chaewon

"I know, I know Yujin can't hear about this," Chaewon says

A few minutes later I get a call from Aurora. Surprised I answered the call

"How did you find out about the GG Mega Mixer?" She yelled.

I walked into the office with Yujin and my nerves were on fire. we were meeting with her Company to ask about the potential of us dating. I was less than enthusiastic. They had made it abundantly clear that they were ready and willing to disband Ive over this. Yujin was less worried.

When we walked in I knew that as soon as they saw me everything about the dynamic changed. the hope that was in the air vanished in an instant, and I turned Yujin. the glint in her eyes dimmed, and I felt the burden I was placing on her career and dream. I had her come back outside with me and I said to her

"Dear, They aren't going to listen."

"What why do you think that?" Yujin asks

"Their looks. It's a look I have seen numerous times." I said

"What do you mean." Yujin questions

They aren't looking at me they are looking at this" I said as I pointed to my skin

"What's wrong with it? I like you that should be enough right?" Yujin asked curiously

"I wish but I don't think they will understand." I ponded

"Why not?" Yujin asks

"Well the first thing that caught my eyes was how their body language changed when I walked in, and you know what, let's go in," I say

Yujin and I walked into the office and the first thing said was, "Why should we entrust our top and most beloved performer to you? What value do we have to gain." They didn't have the courtesy to bring a translator I am assuming that's what they said based on Yujin's disgusted reaction.

Yujin looked at me and I looked at her. We nodded and she said the most brutal thing I have ever heard. "I expected this and yet somehow still and disappointed...ah well. Tj I am sorry I have responsibilities to my girls and this contract. I don't expect you to wait for me, but if you do when I am finished with Ive you're mine."

I smile and say "For sure, but I think Sana is trying to steal me." I tease

"Of course she is," Yujin says as she rolls her eyes

"Don't worry she scares me," I reply

"You scared of her. I learn something new about you every day. Let's go our friends are waiting for us." Yujin teased. I give a thumbs up and follow her.

We arrived back at the Ive dorm where everyone was waiting. I shrug and say. "it's over for now."

I was surprised when Sweet Heart Eunbi let out a string of not-so-sweet heart words. Dexter looked concerned as she went further. I am surprised that all of Ive looks so sad. I look to everyone and shrug before saying "Look it's not ideal but life often isn't we walk off the difficult things we can't shake and fix the things we can. Now if you'll excuse me I have a lot to do helping Astrid win her girlfriend back and setting up this Mega Mixer." the crowd had numerous perplexed faces as I walked out while waving.

I arrived at Astrid Penthouse, and I couldn't bring myself to go in just yet. I needed to make one stop. I went back home to my little apartment in Cali and I just cried. I couldn't cry in front of my friends because I had to appear strong. I also screamed in rage. a lot more of that than the crying to be honest. I had convinced myself that I deserved to be happy with Yujin and I should have known better, but the next time I won't make that mistake. after I was able to emotionally regulate enough to bring myself from a 12 to a 2. I space sifted back to Astrid's I took the elevator and Aurora was the first to see me. She rolled over to me and gave me a tight hug. then she slapped me.

"I missed you, dummy," she said with a pout.

I shrug and say, "Life is strange."

Aurora smiles and then says to me, "Now go be the hero and help our sister." I nod as I walk to Astrid's room. she is still in bed crying. I face her and pick her up.

"Come on Ash we have work to do!" I bellow.

"No, I just want to die," Astrid said between sobs

"No, you don't. You are just emotionally distraught because you got into a fight with your girlfriend whom I am going to help you get back." I challenged

"what do you know about relationships," Astrid questioned

"Enough now come on. Shower you smell like spaghetti and depression." I tease

Alex was walking by and began laughing at my statement. we got in one of her cars after she cleaned herself and we drove to Emma's spot out in Korea. I walked up first and she came out

"Are you here to kill me?" Emma asks

"Nah I come bearing gifts. I say as I gesture to Astrid who's still at the wheel. Astrid waves awkwardly. then Emma turns to me. She shifts uncomfortably.

"Why do this...it doesn't change anything between us?" Emma questions

"Well you make Astrid happy and honestly you two are perfect for each other so...besides I need her at least somewhat normal so we can do this mega mixer. I explain

"So this is a selfish choice." Emma discerns

"Oh completely. you take care of Astrid, and I can focus." I elaborate

"What if I say no?" Emma questions

"I will hype her up to never talk to you ever again I guess?" I answer

"You wouldn't dare." Emma Hisses

"I would and have done this. she is my homie. she's crazy and at times cringe but I love her still. so what will it be?" I propose

"Fine, but this still changes nothing," Emma states matter of fact

"I know. I look forward to our next duel. Could I just ask a favor?" I inquire

"You may and I may or may not grant it." Emma hesitates

"Cool can you not send opponents during filming I'd like to give this all my attention and help your girlfriend produce the best product," I ask

"That is fair." Emma relents

"Great now Go kiss your girlfriend, and make-up already," I say to Emma

Emma walked around me but not before asking.

"How are you handling your break up I heard it was quite abrupt?" She said bluntly

"I am angry, sad, and want her company to burn but honestly, that's the least of my worries," I reply

"Really?" Emma interrogates

"I have a job to do and responsibilities," I say pointing to her and Astrid

Three weeks later Astrid is back to normal and we are working on getting the Mega Mixer into regular and not pre-preproduction. G-idle was also joining which meant we now had more work to do. I spent most of the morning helping Astrid with her paperwork, and getting her coffee among other helpful "assistant-type things." this had to stop though when Twice came in unexpectedly, and my heart did double flips. they entered the building as they owned it and they walked into the office where Astrid and I were working.

The first thing I noticed about the ladies was that they were pretty...like way prettier than what I had seen. Almost too pretty. it set me on edge, which let me focus on their words.

"Hey girls what brings you here?" Astrid asked. Jihyo responds and while they do talk a text shows up on my phone. I open it to see Sana having taken a sneaky picture of me.

"Long time no see." the text says. I look at her and I roll my eyes. before I could text a response I got a notification. It is from a reputable K-pop news sight.

"Dating Scandal: Ive's Yujin dating (I squinted but couldn't make out the name.)" I read the article and my heart sank like a stone. I turned to Astrid and excused myself. I space-sifted back to the warehouse where Dex Connor and I had been training, and for the first time, I just let myself lose it. there was slime in all states everywhere. I thought about texting Yujin about it, but honestly, I was not in the proper headspace to make intelligent choices. so I abstained. which ironically worked out in my favor because I got a text from Sana asking where I went. So I space-sifted back and walked back into the office. all of the ladies of Twice looked at me with various emotions. I tried my best to contain the roller coaster of emotions I was feeling that was until Sana looked at me with an evil grin before Mina asked me the most left-field question I had ever heard.

"Will we be forced to do a bikini beach episode?" Mina asked

The combination of the mental image of Twice in Bikinis but also the absurdity of the question took me out of the funk I was in and straight into a hurricane of confusion.

"Um, What?" I asked

"You're the coordinator/MC...Are we forced to do a Bikini episode?" she asked again this time hesitantly. I brought my hands together as I tried to think of the appropriate answer.

"Um... do y'all want to. I guess I can help set one up, but I...I wasn't planning to. What? What? WHAT?" Astrid seeing me shortcircuit began to laugh, as did Sana, Momo, and Nayeon. I was still trying to process what I just heard though. I walked out again to process what I just heard. As I often do this leads to me deck building. I was working on a Frodo and Sam deck at the time as I wanted something non-blue and Mardu wasn't doing it for me at the time.

A little later Mina walked out she looked at her before laughing. When she saw that I wasn't nearly as jovial she paused and said "I am sorry if I offended you or made you uncomfortable."

"Ah don't worry about it. I just wasn't expecting that." I dismiss her worries and try to not think about everything in my head too much. I go back to deck-building when I feel eyes still on me. I look over to see Mina still there. she's looking over my shoulder trying to see what I was doing.

Mina sits to my left. I look at her confused "Can I help you?" I ask in a very confused manner. I am trying my best not to sound annoyed because she doesn't deserve that first and second I am trying to make a good impression for this show that we are about to do.

"Oh, I am sorry what's that you playing on your phone," Mina asks

"Oh, this it's Magic The Gathering. A Collectible Card Game I play." I answer

"Oh, that art is pretty...I like the art," Mina coos

"Yeah it's pretty cool, but don't fall into the trap I did when my high school friend introduced me to it," I respond

"Is it not good?" Mina asks surprised

"Honestly that's not the issue the game is fantastic the company who runs it...well less so," I explain

Mina pouts then looks at me confused, and asks, "Oh, Why?"

"Well, the company is money-hungry and it leaves many players in a bind of chasing the high," I say with a blank expression

"Oh. so why do you still play?" Mina asks.

"the same reason I keep living. I live on the hope it will get better, and it always seems on the verge like I can almost taste it," I say plainly.

Mina smiles at me. She leans in closer and I smell her perfume. It's citrus-like. "Why do you like the game?" she asked with that big innocent stare that I have seen numerous times over stuff like Time to Twice and their various other content. It was heartwarming so as I chuckled I indulged her. Her eyes widen with wonder as I explain all of the intricacies that make the game amazing for me, and how commander is the culmination of everything good with the game. She is spellbound as I kinda drone on and on. By the end of my speech, the rest of Twice and Astrid are watching. (I didn't realize it until I looked away from her). Nayeon Momo and Jeongyeon begin to laugh as I turn to them and freeze.

"Oh don't stop because of us." Dahyun teases. Embarrassed I booked it out of there.

As I leave I say to Astrid, "See you tomorrow." before taking the stairs down.

When I got to the lobby I was shocked to see several armed men with guns. they were holding people hostage. I squinted and scratched my head. they hadn't noticed me yet, and I easily could have left them, but sadly Twice, and Twice Ive were some of the hostages, and you know I love Twice, and Ive. Without drawing attention to myself I used my slime to create spikes and discretely stab all of the assailants. After that, I attempted to walk out of the building and back to the penthouse. Before I could however I heard "Tj-ah?" I turned to Yujin, I thought about my response for a moment, but I couldn't come up with anything. She was also walking towards me and I was panicking. so I screamed and space-sifted back to California. Now, could I have handled that better? Yes! I could have 100% but I didn't know what else to do, I was overstimulated and needed some sort of reprieve.

Over the next day, I recovered by not talking to anyone who reached out. I sent texts out to everyone explaining today was an "off day" for me and needed some space.

You wanna know who that didn't stop Mina from reaching out,

"Hey, you left before we could finish our chat. I wanted to continue our chat about Magic The Gathering, and Commander." the text read. For some reason, I indulge her. I give her the speech on how I came to find and understand myself better through Magic and Commander and how it's been quite the Journey. Mina was quite the listener as well, but sadly she had to go. I wished her well though.

after the chat, I felt a familiar pang in my heart. I groaned and said to it "No not now you jerk. I am still processing what happened with Yujin. Please don't do this to me." I knew I had a crush on Mina but I always kept in mind she was astronomically out of reach so I never worried about it. However here I am falling for her, and I didn't want to, but before I could think about it too much there was a knock on my door. I opened it to see Emma. She looked unamused but focused.

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to be, but I need your help," Emma said fast and unamused

I nod and point behind myself before saying, "Oh word? I got you. Should I get my BRIPE stuff?"

Emma groaned, nodded, then said, "Yes God why are you charitable with your time?"

I shrug as I answer, "Well It brings me peace to be so. I follow my peace."

Emma smirks and teases "I am stealing that."

I give her a thumbs-up when I am finished and ready to go. "Cool. Okay, I am ready let's go."

Emma smiles, "Excellent."

Day 12

PREVIOUS

The days after finding water we're pretty chill, minus finding out that Jeanette's body was gone. There was still some obvious tension between you and Toni and Toni and Martha and Shelby. You hadn't really interacted with either Toni or Shelby in the past few days either, opting to hang around Fatin. You hadn't talked to Toni because you didn't know what to say after the argument the two of you had and you had revealed your feelings for her in front of everyone. Shelby on the other head, had seemed to be the one ignoring you... Well maybe not ignoring she was just very short with you which was totally against her personality. You all had also made a schedule, seeing as you were going to be here for a while. Everyone got one chore a day and every once and a while a day off. Today happened to be your day off and you were glad, your chest pains had been happening more often and that concerned you.

It also concerned you that you didn't know when you would be rescued. The hospital, who was against the retreat but couldn't exactly do anything about it, had given you medication to help with your problem. It was enough pills for three weeks, just in case, but they had been lost like the rest of your stuff. You had checked the pilot bag that held all the medical stuff you guys had but it didn't have what you were looking for either. You've managed to hide coughing up blood by coughing into the elbow of you red shirt or spitting it out while in the woods. You had also been losing your appetite, which has been harder to hide. You'd force down some food and pretend like it was a lot so the other wouldn't worry. But today, luckily, you were starving and prepared to fully eat whatever Rachel brought for food.

---

"Let's feast!" You hear a Rachel suddenly yell as she stand on top of a little hill, carrying what looks to be a big amount of food. You stood up and attached your leg before joining everyone around the fire. You watch, mouth watering, as Dot cooks all the mussels over the fire. When they're done cooking, the mussels are laid out in a big pile in the middle. Everyone stared at the pile wondering who will go first, since they all understood how little food they had been finding the past couple days. "Eat as much as you want guys, there was enough of them to fill 3 more bags. I just ran out of room." At Rachel's words you all dive in and eat the mussels, except for Shelby. "Why aren't you eating any?" Leah asks as she looks suspiciously at Shelby. Not this again. You think as you eat your tenth mussel, what could you say you were hungry.

"I'm actually allergic to shellfish. Ate one at a birthday party and my throat swelled up like a balloon." Shelby responded as she watched everyone else eat. "That's rough." You say as you grab 3 more mussels. "Damn y/n. Is it good?" Fatin asks jokingly as she grabs another mussels for herself. You roll your eyes and let out a chuckle as you flip her off before grabbing more food. "You know what this looks like..." Toni says, grabbing everyone's attention with a smirk. You mentally facepalm because you know exactly where this is going. "A pussy!" Nora yells out causing everyone to laugh, the girl had definitely come out of her shell more the past few days. Toni nods her head before licking the mussels shell provocatively. "I bet y/n knows what that feels like!" Dot yells out causing everyone to make an "ooo" sound like kids when their peer got in trouble. You and Toni's face both heated up at Dots words and you made sure to give her a hardy punch in the shoulder.

"Can you all stop!?" Shelby suddenly yells out causing everyone to freeze and look at her questioningly. "Shelby, chill out we are just having some fun." Dot says, not really understanding what all the fuss was about. "I am chill, I just don't find that very amusing." Shelby responded, her voice getting a little harsher when she says the word that. "What do you mean by that?" Toni asks as she send you a quick look and you almost immediately understood where this was going. The look was one you or Toni would give the other when known homophobes where in the area or if the two knew you were being judge for doing pda. Was this why Shelley had been short with you the past few days? You did not like where this was going and neither did Toni. "Just... pornographic gestures. I'm from a very Christian home and no one ever does things like that."

You wanted to believe Shelby, you really did, but it explained why you always felt this weird vibe from her. "Don't lie Shelby, I always knew I felt some sort of vibe from you, it's clear now what it was. Toni and I have felt that vibe enough times to know what you really mean." You say, glaring at Shelby. "What... What are you guys trying to say?" Martha asks getting worried now. She knew what you meant when you said vibe, you and Toni had both told her about it. "She's a fucking homophobe." Toni spits out glaring at Shelby. You nod you head in agreement, putting back the mussels you had picked up before all this started. Martha's eyes go wide and she sends a Shelby a pleasing look, hoping she'll deny what Toni had just said.

"Look..." Shelby says as she lets out a big sigh. "I have no hate in my heart for y'all. It was just that I was taught that that way of life is a sin." Toni immediately jumps up and point her finger angrily at Shelby, "Why you little..." Toni was too mad to even finish her sentence. Martha had dropped her head in disappointment and let Fatin wrap and arm around her in comfort. The rest of the girls were just watching as everything unfolded. "I feel sorry—" Shelby starts to say, digging her into an even deep hole. "Fuck you." Toni interrupts her before storming off, you nod your head repeatedly in agreement, not looking at anyone as you finish putting your leg on and following after Toni.

---

"Toni. Toni. Toni!" You yell as you follow the girl. "Goddamn leg... Goddamn sand..." You mumble as you follow Toni down the beach. Luckily, she does finally stop after she deemed that she was far away enough to breathe. Toni kicks the sand angrily, as she stares out into the water. "I can't fucking believe this, no I can I just hoped..." Toni trails off as she wraps her arm around herself. You walk up to her and wrap your arms around her in a comforting hug, "I know, I know..." "We just get so much shit at home..." Toni trails off as she lets herself relax into your hug. "I know." You say again because that's all you can say. You relax for a few minutes before you get hit with a sudden nausea.

"Oh fuck." You mumble out as you unwrap from around Toni and throw up near the two of you. "Y/n?" Toni reacts in shock as she watches you kneel over as you try and spit out the taste of vomit and blood. Toni ends up turning around to throw up as well. "I didn't know you were a sympathetic puker..." You try and joke as you take deep breathes and slowly lay in the sand, feelin exhausted from throwing up. Toni wiped her mouth before turning back around, "C'mon, we can't stay here the heat wont help at all." Toni says as she pulls you to your feet, trying to ignore how she slowly started feeling worse. Toni has to practically drag your body back towards camp. "Help!" She yelled out as soon as she saw people and Fatin came running over. She took your other arm and most of the weight so Toni could relax some.

Luckily, the other girls seemed to be doing better than you and Toni. Both you and Toni were splayed out on the ground with Martha sitting near by as the other girls moved around the camp doing whatever.  "Come on, lay on your side y/n." Martha mumbles worriedly as she listens to your labored breathing. Toni was at least a little more responsive and had tried to swallow water, while you didn't even react to someone moving your body. "Fuck, she's getting worse..." Dot said as she walked up to check on the three of you. "Where the hell is Leah with that medicine!?" Fatin almost yelled as she looked between you and Toni. Right as she said that, Leah broke through the tree line and ran towards Dot. "Why are they all dirty?" Dot yells out as she roots through the bag. "Only 2? I thought we had 3, I know we had 3!" Dot pulls out two tablets of halophen. "It's obvious who needs them the most." Shelby stated as she sat a little ways away from the group unfold. Dot bites her lip and looks at Martha, "Martha, you good?" "Yeah, I'll take a Pepto."

Dot nods her head and turns towards Fatin and hands her one of the tablets, "Figure out a way for her to take it." Fatin nods her head as she looks down at you. "Toni, I'm going to need you to take this." Shelby said as she took the other halophen tab from Dot. "I'm not taking shit from you." Toni says as angrily as she can. "It'll save your life Toni. Take the damn pill." "Should Shelby really be the one doing this." Rachel questions. "Am I not allowed to help her!?" Shelby says exasperatedly. She climbed on top of Toni and held her nose closed until she opened her mouth. As soon as she did, she stuff the pill in her mouth and covered it, forcing her to swallow. Shelby got off of Toni and turned her attention to you, ignoring how the other girls were looking at her.

"Have you gotten her to take it yet?" Fatin shakes her head no, "She's barely reacting to anything. I'm surprised she's still conscious." The girls sat silent for moment contemplating what to do. They start to panic when you cough up more blood. "Here, give it to me." Dot says as she snatches the tab and a nearby rock. She starts to crush the tab up as much as possible. "Just pour some in front of her nose and breath deep." The other girls don't really question Dot's idea and just follow what she says. "C'mon y/n, just one big breath and then you'll start to feel better."

---

You were leaning heavily against Toni as you and all the girls sat around the fire. You were still exhausted from today's earlier event. Luckily, they associated you coughing up blood to throwing up to much and you didn't have the heart to tell them otherwise. No one knew about what was wrong with you except for the people at the hospital and yourself. You were finally clear to sleep by Dot because she wanted to make sure the meds had actually worked and that you wouldn't fall asleep just to never wake up again. You were almost asleep when Toni suddenly stands up yelling Martha's name and running over to her. You shake yourself awake and shakily stand up to see what was happening. Your heart stopped when you noticed that Martha had fallen and made no attempts at getting back up.

"Toni you were dying!" "Who cares? I don't matter! fuck, I don't matter. I don't fucking matter."

➜ we don't know what's going on behind that mask of his

➜ and it has been driving you INSANE while you two sat in silence on the way home

➜ unbeknownst to him also in the brink of going insane because HOW. THE. FUCK. DOES. HE. CONFRONT. YOU. LATER.

➜ WIKI HOW IS THE GO Y'ALL😼😩🙈😻

➜ and the SECOND you two stepped inside your house PHEWWW

“ why have you been ignoring me? ” his voice muffled by his mask, cornering you into the wall as your back was against it, your eyes averted somewhere else while you're just the embodiment of 👉👈😔

➜ don't be suspicious, no don't be suspicious.

➜ realizing that you still weren't talking to him, he moves away from your face, backing away, a lowkey heartbroken expression evident in his face as he dragged his mask down.

“ i'm sorry. ” he apologizes, his eyes looking at the ground

➜ you were caught off guard by his apology since it seemed so sincere and GOD DID YOU FEEL LIKE A HORRIBLE PERSON

➜ the guilt luv, THE GUILT

➜ you said fuck it to the challenge, while you tugged on his jacket while he looks back at you with a snap

“ i'm sorry, ” you started off, making his jerk an eyebrow at you. “ i never meant it to go this far. ”

“ what do you mean 'this far ' ? ”

➜ after you told him that it was a prank 💆✨😻🔫 he didn't know how to react

➜ sakusa.exe has stopped

➜ basically that microsoft shut down audio right then and there

➜ like DID YOU JUST IGNORE HIM BECAUSE OF A CHALLENGE??

➜ he was irritated to say the least, he didn't get ANY sort of conversation and contact with you the whole day and FOR THIS?

➜ sakusa : you did this,,, FOR WHAT ?

➜ but his emotions didn't cloud his judgement just yet, the fatigue from practice and just everything that happened today was getting to him.

➜ he stays silent to collect his thoughts and wow did it frighten you.

“ okay, i know you're mad at me ─ and i won't force you to forgive me, because wow i would have hated myself too ─ no, that's not the point uh, i just wanna say sorry, god i'm a mess ─ ”

➜ sakusa wanted you to shut up.

➜ and he did, his hand covering your mouth while you looked at him with surprised

“ can you please just kiss me already? ” again, caught off guard by the one and only sakusa kiyoomi.

➜ and not gonna lie, he also caught HIMSELF off guard.

➜ this sakusa was desperate, this side of him that no one but you could see. the vulnerable and weak sakusa that put his pride away to ask for your touch.

➜ kiyoomi doesn't like skin contact, but with you, he wouldn't mind it.

➜ of course you obeyed his request, you already feel guilty enough for depriving him of your affections for almost a day.

➜ the kiss was passionate and longing in a way, it was a long and drawn out one that left the your legs jelly as it was only sakusa holding onto you that gave you support to stand up ─ needy and greedy, the pent up flustration and yearn for you was too much that he had to pour it all in not just one kiss.

➜ oh no, the night was still young.

“ don't you know how worried i was? ” his hot breath and pants fanning your face, an uncharacteristic flush across his face.

➜ challenge : failed.

➜ but hey, atleast you had a long night ahead of you.

➜ and sakusa made sure your attention was only at him.

Warnings: None. (tis a fluff-filled chapter)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

* beware of little shifts in perspective from two characters, we will be jumping casually from their minds.

*

You caught the orc staring at you again, with a smile that made his tusks jut out more. "H-Hi!" you blurted out, waving.

As you began walking towards him, you found yourself losing balance, your legs giving out. You closed your eyes reflexively and expected to land face-first on the tiled floor.

Only you didn't.

You felt a strong arm around your waist and a large hand on your back, nearly covering the expanse of it. Instead of the floor, you found yourself smushed against something warm, and that thing, you figured out a second later, was Tai'chi's chest. You became flustered and felt your cheeks and ears redden. Your nose was practically inhaling his scent now, all that musky and rich smell of his making you light-headed. Stuttering, you pulled your head back.

"I-I-I— Ta-Tai'chi???"

Congratulations self, that was perfect, wow.

"Hm? Oh, uh, sorry. I acted on impulse when I saw you collapse." He said as the grip he had on you slackened and moved to hold your shoulder to support you in case you fall again, his other hand, though, remained in its place behind you.

"Don't w-worry about it. My legs just gave out, haha."

That came out awkwardly.

Damn, he is fast.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked, his words filled with genuine concern. Your ears were sporting a tinge of red, he noticed. Your scent also changed, signaling you were flustered.

"Ye-yep! We should uh, head back to class now. Oh! We haven't eaten anything for lunch." You said and as if on cue, your stomach grumbled to agree, followed by another grumble but louder, it wasn't yours but Tai'chi's.

The two of you laughed from the sounds they made.

"You're right. How about we go to the cafeteria first to grab something before we head back to our classroom?" He asked, smiling down at you.

"Great idea!" You agreed, a little too eager than you would've liked.

"We should get going then."

He straightened up and removed his hand from your shoulder when he was certain you wouldn't stumble again. Though, he let his hand on your back linger a bit longer even after you left the office.

**************************************

The trip to the cafeteria was peaceful, minus the sounds of muffled talking coming from the rooms. Tai'chi was beside you as you walked down the halls, thankful that your legs found their strength again.

Arriving at the significantly less crowded canteen, both of you went ahead and ordered some food before finding a place to eat. Spotting a vacant one a few tables from the main entrance, you trudged to it, Tai'chi following close. You sat down and got a clearer look at his tray.

It was a lot, though you expected it to be. There were more vegetables than meat though.

"Not a fan of meat?"

He looked at you and laughed, echoing through the whole cafeteria, which resulted in some students glancing in your direction.

You were a bit taken aback, not expecting that sort of reaction from him.

"I'm sorry. I just- I don't know why I found it funny. I meant no offense."

"None taken."

"To answer you, I'm a huge fan of meat, red meat to be exact. This was the only portion that's left when I asked for more. And I'm still growing so I made up for the lack of meat with the vegetables. We orcs love a healthy and hearty meal."

What he said made you smile even more.

"What about you?" He glanced at your tray to see a portion almost similar to his albeit more assorted. This made him look back up and you, flabbergasted. "You can eat all of that?"

You looked down to inspect your food choice, and you instantly felt self-conscious.

"I...Uhm yes. I can." You replied, albeit meekly.

Tai'chi noticed the sudden change in your voice and made himself clear; "No, no I didn't mean it like that. I'm just, well, as you already know I haven't met many humans aside from the ones in a village back home, so I was just surprised." Watching him explain himself made you smile again. The thought of you being repulsive vanished out into thin air.

"I eat a lot. Though sometimes I eat more junk than healthy food. Anyways, let's begin, shall we? We're already late and I'm starving!" Laughing, you both know today's attendance in class isn't much of an issue. They did say there won't be any lessons today to give time for 'socializing' instead.

You stopped in your tracks when you realized you haven't shown him your face ever since you met. You looked around to see if anyone was watching and stole glances at the one in front of you. You slowly removed your mask and revealed your face. Not many have seen you without it, only those who are close to you, specifically your family.

"I guess this is the first time you've seen my face, huh?" Nervous, you asked.

Tai'chi stared at you so intensely you felt self-conscious once again. "I-Is there something wrong?"

'Shit, does he find me unattractive? Weird? Not that I expected the opposite but —'

"No. No, there's nothing wrong. You-"

"I'm what?"

"You're beautiful."

'Did he just—'

Your face heated up again and this time you had no mask to hide it.

Hastily, you covered your face with one hand and looked away.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when you did, coughing into his fist before he started eating.

Once you cooled down, you did the same. Trying to focus on the savory food they served in the uni.

Eat, damn it.

You barely noticed the orc, or perhaps you chose not to, as you wolf down your food like you haven't eaten for weeks. Another thing he found admirable and attractive. You ate cleanly, not letting a single piece of food go to waste.

He'll have to find some time later to formally introduce himself, along with other...things.

***********************************

You leaned back on your chair, noticing Tai'chi doing the same, as you let the feeling of content wash over yourselves. The food was great! You made a note to thank the cook later.

You sat up after a moment and arranged your dirty utensils. You were against the thought of making the cafeteria's job of cleaning harder than it is. So you cleaned up, stacked plates properly in your tray with concentration, you didn't realize until later that you did the same to his dishes. You didn't spare a peek up into his eyes or else you'd make a fool out of yourself again. Taking a napkin, you wiped your mouth clean before you quickly put on your mask, much to Tai'chi's dismay.

You stood up but before you could walk away, a hand reached out to grab your arm, stopping you. He stood up from his seat.

"Pearl."

"Uh, yes?"

"There's still time before our next class starts. Would you mind taking a stroll around the campus with me?"

"Y-Yeah— sure. I wouldn't mind." You replied, avoiding his gaze.

The two of you strolled around the quiet grounds of the campus. There were trees, younger than the ones in the forest. You took in the nice scenery before you, feeling the fresh, cool air, the gentle rustling of leaves, calming, and the scent of your companion to your left, relaxing and sweet. You were in a daze, barely paying attention when Tai'chi said your name and stood still.

"Hmm?"

He chuckled lightly at your response.

"I want to continue where we left off in the forest."

"Oh. Oh, of course."

"I want to know more about you, Pearl. So I'll start with my true name." He knelt down which startled you momentarily.

.

"I am Tai'chi Kashharzol, eldest of five siblings, son of Durog and Gala. I come from the Northern stronghold of clan Fatof'san. Before I came down to the city, I was trained and taught basic socialization by an old human who lived in the village under our protection.

"I went through one of my clan's traditions and hunted down my first Snow Bear. The elders gave me an honorary title to carry, right after my kill."

You stood there listening to him earnestly as he told you all of this with pride, taking in each word and committing them into memory.

"I was given the name, 'Frostbreaker'. It is my warrior name." He took a breath before he asked. "Will you honor me of becoming my friend?"

All of this sounds like a confession— technically it is but there's something, intimate about it. The way his eyes shone with such determination and something you can't figure out.

Should I ask? He stopped talking, snap out of it–

"Oh, wow. I mean yes! Yes I'll be your friend. I'd be more than happy to. The honor is mine!"

You beamed as he returned a toothy grin.

"Right. I should also say something like that, well, uh, wait." You were slightly nervous as you removed your mask, offering a shy smile before speaking.

Breathe in.

And out.

"I am Pearl Blackbell, only child and daughter of Leon and Athena Blackbell. I'm from a town, West of here, Red Springs is its name. My parents taught me martial arts, and, uh, the use of self-defense weapons." You paused and showed him your crimson knuckles. "This is my favorite one to use, I'm sure you noticed already. My father... didn't want me to leave home without any assurance that I can defend myself. You were right when you said I have experience in combat. A decent amount of it," you sighed.

"I always, almost every day, get into trouble standing up for someone, bullied, or abused. I also held my own when someone tries to harass me, smashing their faces in."

Tai'chi in turn listened closely, his gaze intense on you. He was concerned about what you implied. Many attempted to assault you? How many times? Did they hurt you? Your smile faltered as you told him the next things about yourself.

"I... didn't have friends as I grew up. People tend to be afraid of what they do not understand, y'know? They didn't want me near them, finding me weird for wearing a mask, plus my reputation for punching humans didn't help," you laughed self-deprecatingly. "So I spent my whole high school years training, mastering my art with the help of my father, who was of course, very strict and hard on me." Finding nothing else comfortable to say at this stage, you went quiet.

"Can I ask you a question?" The orc said a moment later. He was bothered by the fact you had no friends, not even one. And training, training meant pain.

"Only if I can ask one in return." You replied, feeling bold all of a sudden. He grinned at this.

"Why do you always wear a mask?"

There was no trace of ulterior motive in his scent, not the usual annoyance you smelled every time someone asked the same question. So you answered him, honestly.

"Promise you won't get weirded out?"

"I swear on my name."

"Oh. oh, okay that's good. You see, my nose, or my sense of smell specifically, is err, not normal."

Now this made Tai'chi's eyes widen. Did you have an illness of sorts? Is your health in danger? Were you h–

"I can tell how someone is feeling based on the changes in their scent. My nose is very sensitive to odors so I keep wearing a mask every time I go outside. It has been like this since I was born. My doctors say it's rare for a human to possess, they say it's special, a gift from a higher being."

"When we went in the cafeteria after our first class, "—Tai'chi inserted— "Was the reason you stopped advancing inside further, the sour and disgusting smell of the students in there?"

"Yes, actually— Wait, how did you know?" you asked.

How does he know??? Did he just smirk?

"I can smell them too."

"You can?!"

"Yes."

"So you mean to tell me, my nose functions similarly like yours?"

"Yes, perhaps, a little bit differently. Or maybe it's because you didn't hone it."

"How can you say so?"

"I can block out certain smells if I want to. And based on your reaction early on, you're having a hard time doing so, is that right?"

"W-Well, yes. You're right. Usually, I'd wear a mask with a basic filtration device, but that doesn't work when I'm inside a closed space and the scents are all mixed up and concentrated."

Tai'chi nodded in reply. He began to stand up and you were met with his towering form once again. You took a step back so you can put less strain on your neck from looking up.

"You still owe me an answer to a question by the way."

"Go on and ask then."

"So, uh, is it just me or when you told me about you...it kind of felt different from how talking to a friend sounds like..." You fidgeted, a certain heat slowly creeps up your face again as you looked around not wanting to meet his gaze. You felt your heart rate increase as you noticed his scent change, telling you you were right.

Tai'chi sighed heavily and rubbed his temples before gathering the courage to talk.

"Yes, it was different."

"So..."

"We use that kind of formality, usually towards someone we want to court."

Did he say 'court'?!

"C-Court??" you squeaked. Pretty sure your face is redder than the color of your brass knuckles, your heart hammering in your chest you believed he could hear it.

"Courting, or dating, or whatever everyone calls it down here." Breathing in deeply, he returned to kneel before you and took your hands into his, large palms caressing your small ones.

"I'll have to rephrase my words."

He locked his gaze into yours, deep blue eyes to your mahogany ones.

"Will you allow me to court you, Pearl Blackbell?"

"W-Why would you want to court me?"

The hell would someone want to court me? I'm seen as a freak by most people and I'm not soft or girly like the others. I don't like skirts or dresses. I hate makeup. I have calloused hands, scars hidden under my clothes. I don't understand —

He gave you a soft smile, cutting off your train of self-deprecating thoughts. "I can hear your mind, Pearl. Don't think low of yourself. You are amazing, y'know that? The first time I saw your eyes, and the moment you fought for my sake, I knew I was smitten. You are graceful, each motion fluid and filled with strength, people would never expect you possess until they feel it through a punch you throw. You are kind, righteous, beautiful, strong, with a heart of gold. It is a shame how most people do not see it. I want to prove myself to you, and win your heart properly."

You were about to pass out from his confession when you remembered you need to respond! Gathering what courage and energy you have left, you answered.

"I...Oh my God... I don't know what to say— I've never experienced this, ever! I'm afraid I won't know what to do- what if I mess up? What if I—"

"Listen, liga ni..." He cut you off as he rubbed circles on your hands, that small shift of language sent his voice into a guttural one. "This is also a first for me, and I share your fears in this. But my wish to pursue you remains unwavered. I will try my best to woo you, and if I do something you didn't like, it is up to you to end the courting, any time you want, and I will stop immediately. I hope we would stay friends if it comes that..." He said as he broke eye contact and looked down.

"Tai'chi..." Seeing him sad like this made your chest twist in discomfort.

Steadying yourself, you studied him, his scent was pure, no malice within his words, he was speaking from his heart. With renewed confidence, you finally decided.

"Tai'chi Kashharzol...I wish to court you as well."

He snapped up his gaze back to you and saw you smile. He scented you just to make sure you weren't doing this out of pity. The moment he realized it was genuine he lifted you in the air and spun you around. You were surprised at the sudden outburst but laughed together with him once you got over it. He set you down after a while and moved his face close to yours but halted immediately when he saw your eyes widen.

"Too forward?" He asked.

"Y-Yeah." Your heart was doing backflips, even if that sounds so ridiculous.

He understood. "I apologize, I got carried away." But before he pulled back you pressed a quick kiss on his forehead. He almost purred from the gesture but suppressed it as not to scare you in any way. You were new to this after all. He cleared his throat and reached out a hand to you.

"We should head back, our class will start soon."

"O-okay." You moved to wear your mask again before taking his hand, enjoying the rest of the walk in silence. You were still nervous, but you decided to focus on the now.

I've never felt like this before... Is it a good thing? I think it is.

And with that on your mind, you let yourself relax.

*

A pair of cruel eyes witnessed the whole exchange, remaining unnoticed as he hid behind a tree, a good distance from where you stood. They watched you and the orc walk away before they went the other direction.

"She will be fun to break. A female, human Blackbell, tempting. This will be a great chance to demonstrate and prove how monstrous an orc could be." They snickered. "I will enjoy this, exceptionally."

"In time, Pearl. In time."

Now now who is this suspicious person?!

Liga ni — means 'little one' (as an endearment) in Orcish
