wc: 2.3k

A/n: this song never got old and best soloist song I've ever heard after Sunmi's songs. ALSO THIS FIC WAS NEVER SUPPOSTED TO BE THIS LONG BUT...Enjoy readingg^^

City of Seoul was known for its bustling streets, dazzling lights, and relentless chaos. The chaos continued even more after the appearance of the so-called villain that is causing trouble every now and then. The troublemaker was a bright red-haired woman with large bunny ears attached to a headband. Despite her crimes being minor, she still caused a lot of disturbances to the city. And even if you had a lot of school work since your year is coming to an end, you still stayed curious about figuring out Red Rover’s true intentions, moreover, identity. ‘What’s even her purpose?’ you would ask yourself while sketching her in your notebook. At some point, you would also question your own motives. Did you want to solve the mystery of her identity out of pure curiosity, obsession, or maybe because Red Rover reminds you so much of your beloved classmate, better said crush, Yuqi Song.

Next day in class your thoughts continued to wander about Yuqi’s faithful connections with Red Rover. Your eyes moved by themselves and gazed at Yuqi. She was always a cheerful and a very talkative girl with a mischievous smile. Perfect on the outside but always thought outside the box. These past weeks of analyzing Red Rover and people around, you’ve come to a conclusion that Yuqi is really similar to the infamous villain. The way she brings herself to the world but stays quiet when Red Rover's mentioned made you really suspicious

Your gaze was focused on Yuqi who rested her forehead on her arms and hid her face in them, obviously not interested in history class. ‘Wonder what she’s thinking about now?’ the voice in your head popped a question as you moved your head to your notebook and started writing about today's lesson.

As the bell rang, signaling for the end of class, you gathered your things and headed towards the library. You had a plan to dig deeper into the mystery of Red Rover. Maybe there were clues in recent news articles or websites that you could use for your research. Just as you were about to leave you bumped into someone and dropped half of your things.

“Woahh, careful there !!” A familiar husky voice called out as the person held your upper arms. Looking up, you realize the person you bumped into was no other than Yuqi. Her round bunny-like eyes looking deep into yours. “Are you okay?” She asked as she let go of your arms, still looking at you. “Y-yeah, no worries.” You stuttered out as you started to pick up your things that fell. “Here let me help you,” just as she goes to close your black fully exposed notebook on the floor, something catches her dark hazel eyes.

In the notebook, 2 pages were filled with info and sketches about the infamous Red Rover. Her costume, the powers and even the theories about her. Clearly recognizing the villain, she tries to reach to see the other pages as well but you quickly grab your notebook out of her hands. Yuqi, startled at the sudden reaction, looked at you all confused. “I’m sorry I gotta go.” you mumbled, sliding your bag on your shoulder and hurried to the library, leaving Yuqi with no answers.

…

With your heart pounding continuously in your chest, you made your way to the library, replaying the encounter with Yuqi over and over in your head. The look in her eyes was too hard to explain or to even think about, was it curiosity, suspicion, or something else? You couldn't afford to think too much about it now, you wanted to focus on your research.

Entering the library, you headed straight for the computer terminals. Logging in, you began searching for any recent news about Red Rover. Articles popped up, each one recounting small-scale incidents, descriptions of her appearance, and speculations about her motives. Nothing concrete, but enough to give you a few new pieces of information.

As you skimmed through the articles, you couldn’t shake the feeling of someone watching you. Glancing around, you once again saw a familiar figure in the distance, Yuqi. She was browsing the shelves, seemingly engrossed in her search for a book. ‘Is she pretending? Why is she here??’ You thought, trying to ignore the coincidence. ‘I thought she hated libraries…’ Still, you returned to your research. One article, in particular, caught your eye. It mentioned a sighting of Red Rover every night in the city around 9PM, that’s when she starts her daily troublemaking routines. But, once again, just as you were about to leave, you felt a tap on your shoulder. Turning around, you found yourself face-to-face with no other than Yuqi.

“Hey,” She takes a seat on the table right next to the laptop on which you’ve done your research. “I’m sorry if I startled you earlier, I didn’t mean to pry through your notebook, but…” Your gaze met her eyes again, Yuqi wasn’t looking at you back.

It was a weird tension between you two. You’ve never been this close to Yuqi before and her presence made your heart beat even faster. The silly little crush you have on her wasn’t something you always considered a crush. You thought it was just admiration, not something serious, but now that she is here, something in your heart brightened. Her face was unpredictable, her eyebrows were furrowed and her face expression was a picture that could mean a million things. Was she feeling guilty—no that’s a harsh word. It’s like she was feeling fear, like she got…caught??

You cleared your throat, trying to dispel the growing awkward silence. “I just… I’m curious about her, that’s all,” you replied, hoping she would understand. Yuqi’s eyes sparkled with intrigue as she finally looked at you. “How so?” she asked, her voice softer, almost inviting.

Taking a deep breath, you tried to find the right words. “Well, she’s different from other villains. She doesn’t really hurt people, well, she just causes chaos for...fun??” Yuqi leaned in closer to your face, her expression thoughtful and hypnotizing. “Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. What else do you think about her?? ” You could swear that you felt your heart skip not one but two beats. Was Yuqi giving you a hint, or were you too desperate? “W-well, She’s more like a playful child than a real threat. And that makes me wonder why she’s doing all this.” your cheeks turning light pink at Yuqi.

In response, Yuqi just chuckled with a playful smirk as she got off the table. “I’m sure you will find out who Red Rover is.” She confesses, but before she leaves she lowers her head to whisper something into your ear.

“In order to find something, you gotta look for it, right?”

You watched her walk away, her voice echoing through your whole body. Was she just being cryptic, or was there a deeper meaning behind her sentence? What makes her so sure I’ll find the Red Rover? All of those questions ran through your mind until something popped inside your head. Her eyes, her playful demeanor, and the way she seemed to be curious into your thoughts on Red Rover’s motives—it all pointed to a connection that you couldn’t ignore.

As you sat back down to continue your research, your mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. The mystery of Red Rover had just become even more complex, and you were more determined than ever to uncover the truth. But now, the stakes were higher. You weren’t just solving a mystery of the city’s villain—you were unraveling the secrets of someone you had new feelings for.

…

With Yuqi’s sharp words still lingering in your mind, an idea popped inside your head. You had to see the Red Rover for yourself. The article mentioned her appearing every night around 9 PM, and tonight, you were going to be there. You glanced at the clock and it was already 8:30 PM. Gathering your things, you headed out, heart pounding with excitement.

The city was alive with its usual energy as you navigated the bustling streets. The neon lights flickered, casting colorful shadows to lighten up this city night. As 9 PM approached, you started to look up in the sky in hope to see those famous bunny ears and red hair. The minutes ticked by slowly, each second amplifying your anxiety. Suddenly, a flash of red caught your eye.

It was her, Red Rover, jumping through the streets, her bright hair and bunny ears unmistakable. People pointed at her as police flashed their sirens to catch her, obviously failing. You started to follow her, trying to keep a safe distance from the crowd. As you hurried to keep up, you were so focused on the Red Rover that you didn’t notice a car speeding towards you. Until it was almost too late, the screeching of tires and loudness of the horn jolted you back to reality. You froze, unable to move, bracing for impact.

‘This is it, I’m gonna die.’ were your last thoughts to this moment. Suddenly, just as the car was about to hit you, a firm grip yanked you out of the way and refuged you in a small, dark and lonely street alley where nobody will find you for a couple of minutes. The person placed you on the ground as your legs finally shaken alive. “You need to be more careful,” the person's deep and husky voice scolded you as you patted your clothes to avoid them being dirty. “I-I’m sorry but thank you, you saved my li–” you managed to stutter out some words but once you saw who were you talking to, your brain froze again.

Standing before you was Red Rover herself, her bright red hair and large bunny ears even more striking up close. her expression Softened at your reaction, a playful smirk playing on her lips. You swallowed hard, trying to find your voice. “What is it?? Cat got your tongue? Or better said, a bunny?” She laughed at her own joke as you chuckled with her as well. “I can’t believe I finally met you, Red Rover.”

Tilting her head, Red Rover’s eyes glinted with amusement. “Well, here I am. In the flesh,” she replied, putting her hands on her hips as her voice blended in proudness and charm. She took a step closer, her face now inches from yours. “Why are you so interested in me?” Your heart raced, the familiar tension between you two made it hard to think clearly. “I guess… I couldn’t help but be drawn to you. Both as Red Rover and as… someone else I know.” A flicker of surprise crossed her face before she masked it with a playful smile. “Someone else you know, huh?” She leaned in, wrapping her hands around your figure as her warm breath against your ear whispered,

“Do you think you know who I am?” realizing her deep and mischievous voice you melt into her touch as you lean your back on the alley’s cold wall that was behind you.

All of this time chasing Red Rover, nothing could make you finally realize the so-called villain was always right in front of you, and that was your new developed crush, Song Yuqi. Your intuition never lied to you in the end and now Red Rover—no, Yuqi, is here.

The hot tension between the two of you just rose higher with each passing second. Slowly, your arms moved by themselves as you looked up at her with your eyes, you started taking off her bunny hat, revealing her gorgeous red hair and dark bunny eyes you could always recognize. “I knew something was up with you from the start.” Yuqi rolled her eyes at your statement and snatched her hat from your hands, startling you. As she clipped it by her chin she leaned into your touch once again, towering over your smaller figure.

Yuqi’s eyes sparkled with a mixture of mischief with a teasing smile on her lips. "So, you've been watching me, huh?" she teased, her face inches from yours. The question made your heart race, the air between you charged with electricity, making you rest your arms on Yuqi’s shoulders, holding them tight. Swallowing nervously, your voice was barely above a whisper. "I couldn't help it. You're irresistible." Yuqi chuckled softly, her warm lips brushing against your neck. Your mind raced, searching for the right words, but none were appearing. Instead, you slowly, kinda hesitating, raised your hand to touch her cheek. She leaned into your touch, her eyes closing briefly. When she opened them again, the playful glint returned as she locked eye contact with you. "You know, you're braver than I thought," she said, the tension between you being indescribable. There was an invisible thread pulling you closer together. Without thinking, you leaned in, your lips brushing against hers in a tentative kiss. Yuqi responded immediately, her arms wrapping around you and pulling you closer. Her hands roaming around your torso as you pulled her by the neck deeper into the kiss. The kiss getting flustered, a blend of desire and tenderness that left both of you breathless.

Just as you were getting lost in the moment, the blaring sound of police sirens pierced the air. Yuqi pulled away abruptly and disappointed at being interrupted, her eyes flashed with alarm. "Damn it," she muttered under her breath. "They're getting closer." she turns to you and quickly picks you up in bridal style. “Wait—!” Without even processing what was happening, Yuqi was already jumping around the sky, carrying you tightly. “Hold on tight, muffin.” commanded Yuqi as you held her tighter, surprised by the sudden nickname.

…

As Yuqi landed on your apartment’s rooftop, she carefully put you down on your feet. “We’re safe here, yeah?” she asks, looking down at the chaos that was made only by a small appearance of her. “Thank you for bringing me home.” you thanked as you walked to the edge of the roof, taking a seat next to Yuqi. Awkward silence occurred as you two scanned the street right below your feet.

“I have a question though.” started you, making Yuqi turn her head to you. “How come you have red hair now but in school you’re a blondie?!” your question yelled, being all confused, in response Yuqi just laughed at you. “I love how you notice unimportant details.” She exclaims, weakly punching your thigh as you laughed with her too. Yuqi points her index finger to her hair as she looks at you excitedly. “This, my muffin, is a wig, ever heard of that??” She teases, calling you a ‘muffin’ again making your cheeks glow a slight reddish color. Rolling your eyes she continues, “I’m a natural blonde y’know, I thought you knew that by how much you watched me these days.” She chuckles while teasing you again. “Yah! Of course I did!” scolding her with a playful annoyance in your voice. Yuqi exhales a smile and takes a look at the stars. As she gazed up at them, she whispered, "Look, the stars popped up."

"They're so pretty," you exclaimed softly, joining her at stargazing, silence being the loudest after a few minutes.

"Not as pretty as you,"

Yuqi mumbled under her breath, the words barely audible over the city's hum. "What did you say?" you asked, turning to her with a curious expression. Yuqi hesitated for a moment, then sighed, her gaze shifting from the stars to meet yours again. "I said... I never thought you would be interested in Red Rover, moreover, me." Her statement confused you. "Why's that?" you inquired gently, sensing a depressing emotion behind her words. With a one more sigh, Yuqi leaned against the rooftop railing, her posture relaxing slightly as she looked out over the city skyline. "Everyone talks about Red Rover like she's just a nuisance. A troublemaker to be caught and punished. But no one tries to understand why she does what she does. No one sees her beyond her actions."

Her voice took on a frustrated edge, revealing layers of empathy and perhaps a personal connection to Red Rover's motivations. "It's like they don't care about her as a person. They just want her to...disappear."

You nodded in understanding, touched by Yuqi's empathy and insight. "It must be lonely.."

"Yeah," Yuqi agreed, whispering, her gaze lingering on yours. “In school too, I may seem like I have a lot of friends but,” she paused. “They wouldn’t understand.” she vents, crossing her arms to hold her upper arms. “When I’m Red Rover, I can be myself without explaining myself to everyone all the time.”

There was an awkward pause, a shared moment of understanding between you both. Shocked by the fact that Yuqi felt exactly like you made you speechless. Then, without another word, you closed the distance between you and Yuqi, hugging her gently, like she was made out of sugar. Her eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she leaned into your touch, a mixture of vulnerability and longing in her expression.

For a moment, the world around you faded away, leaving only the warmth of each other's presence. The city noises, the chaos below, all seemed distant as you lost yourselves in each other.

Slowly, you cupped her cheeks and kissed her once again, affectionately. Yuqi responded eagerly, her arms wrapping around you, pulling you closer against her. With her straightening up her back and taking more dominance, the kiss deepened, made by shared understandings that had been built between you.

As you finally pulled apart, breathless and smiling, Yuqi brushed a strand of hair from your face. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

You smiled back, feeling a rush of affection and gratitude. "For what?"

"For seeing me," Yuqi replied sincerely, her gaze unwavering. "Not just as Red Rover, but as me."

You nodded, feeling a surge of closeness and understanding between you. "I want to understand you, Yuqi. All of you."

Yuqi's expression softened, a genuine smile spreading across her face. "Then let's figure it out together," she said, her voice filled with happiness and a hint of playfulness. As you leaned in to kiss her again, sharing cheeky laughs together, the night sky seemed to shine with new possibilities and moments for you to share, especially under the glittering stars above.

Scarlet Part 2

For @aguilaguerrera10, here’s the second part. Again, so sorry for the wait. I’ve been trying to make a habit of finishing my stuff. So, to everyone, I am in the process of making your posts. I am very grateful for your patience and I am trying my best to get to all of you.

TW: ANGST, FIGHTING BETWEEN FATHER AND SON, and uh.. yeah. If there is anything else I missed or that troubles you, let me know, and I’ll put it in.

(Edit done in Picsart by me)

Neither you nor Jason ever mentioned your grandfather.

It didn’t matter. Jason raised you, cared for you. He was family and you were, too; finding out about your real family didn’t change that. Jason is your real family - who cares who your mother is or who your grandfather is? Jason has been there for you your entire life - you could care less about your 'other' family.

As you continue on with your life, each day your vigilante work got tougher; forgetting the incident between Jason and your grandfather. You were always near your dad, who explicitly told you to never stray from his eyesight unless given permission to - you listened, of course. Gotham is full of surprises, and Jason is a seasoned veteran at this sort of thing. While you may know how to dropkick a guy from above or put a man in a chokehold, Jason knows when a guy is gonna pull the trigger, or who's hiding behind the corner. Once, you got into a run-in with a group of thugs. You and Jason took them down, one by one. You let your guard down for a second, and you were tackled to the ground, repeatedly getting your face punched out. You would’ve been dead..-

If it wasn’t for Jason’s hard fist knocking their jaw out.

The memories were hazy…

You were going in and out of consciousness, but.. you could’ve swore you saw Jason’s knuckles covered in blood. When you managed to pick yourself up and run to safety, you also swore you heard a gunshot.

You shrugged it off as a result of nearly getting your head smashed in, but the more you thought about it, deep down, you start to wonder more and more about what your dad actually did to those men…

“Scarlet.”

You snapped out of your thoughts. “You understand?” Jason stands before you, arms crossed over his chest. You blink under your mask then nod. “Yes. I understand. No confrontation whatsoever.” Your Dad caught wind of an ‘organization’ doing some shady business around Crime Alley. A few searches and criminal records lead him down to a run-down building, deep in the east-end surrounded by the apartments of the ghetto, which is where you two currently stand on the rooftop of. He didn't intend to bring you along, but after going through some more information, he realized he was going to need a helping hand, so here you are.

Jason looks down, observing the guards through the clear windows. “If anything goes wrong, let me know, and I’ll come get you. Remember: never stray from my radar.” You nod. “Got it.” All you were assigned to do is take pictures and gather info - that's it. No confrontation, no take-downs, just sneaking around and playing spy; it will be your first time going solo. Jason stares at you then takes a deep breath - he would be lying if he said he wasn't worried about you. So many what-ifs and a thousand scenarios of the absolute worst things to happen play around in his mind. He knows you’re a good kid, you’ve rarely ever gone against him, and the only time you did was when you wanted to become a vigilante. Besides that, you never caused trouble for him, but still, he couldn’t help but worry - hell - fear.

You noticed Jason's silence and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Hey, what are you scared about? All I gotta do is take a few pictures," you assured, "No biggie!” Although your face was behind a mask, he can feel your bright smile.

It's not that he doesn't trust you.

He trusts you.. wholeheartedly.

It’s those sick fucks that he doesn’t trust.

He holds your gaze then places a hand on your head. "I can always trust you, kid." He says. You smile then run to the air vent with Jason following right behind.

Using the X-ray vision in his mask, he gauges the area: there aren’t as many guards compared to yesterday. You won’t be engaging the enemy and you'll be in the vents, so it didn't matter as much. 'But you never know.' He noted. Jason would be careless to not think there could be more hidden around somewhere in the warehouse. "Well, kid." He turns to you. "Whenever you're ready." Nodding, you use a laser pen you made out of a laser pointer for cats - with the help of your dad, of course. The beam cuts through the vents, carving a circle into the metal, and all it took was one, gentle, push to create a perfect opening. You took one last look at your Dad, then climbed in. Jason can feel his nerves bubbling in his gut, but he pushed them down. 'You'll be fine.' He reassured himself. 'You're a good kid.'

You peer through the holes of the vents: there's a group of men surrounding a map on a table. Using the mini camera in your mask, you snap a few pics then move on to the next room. Jason sat on the rooftop watching the red dot on the map move across the vents in his helmet. Despite overviewing the entire area, he couldn’t shake off the suspicion about the unusual small number of guards hanging around the building. It gave him that much more anxiety with you.

"She shouldn't be doing this."

Jason grits his teeth.

He didn't need to ask to know who it was…

In the pitch black night of Gotham, a tall figure, camouflaged like a menacing shadow, stands behind Jason.

How long has it been..?

Weeks? Months? Years?

God knows how long since he last spoke to the man he was disgusted to call his mentor, his father.

"What do you want?"

"You know why."

Truth be told, Jason does..

Very well…

Along with finding out who your grandfather and mother is, Ra's also told him of who your father is, and your brother. Jason stands up. "Yeah, I do. What of it?"

Bruce's face was as cold and as expressionless as always. He saunters closer to Jason. "She can't live like this." Jason glares through his mask. "Who are you to decide that?" "I mean it, Jason. It's dangerous." Jason scoffs. "Funny coming from you and your four other little birds."

"Make that five."

The familiar cape dawned with the bright red, yellow, and green colors flies down beside him. An unfamiliar figure stands before him, another kid, another Robin. Jason narrows his eyes. "That's right. Almost forgot about you."

Damian Al-ghul Wayne. Grandson to Ra's Al Ghul, son to Talia and Bruce Wayne.

Your older twin brother.

Robin scoffs. "You've heard of me? Good."

Egotistic.

Wonderful…

"My sister will be coming back with us. That's a guarantee."

Jason clicks his teeth. It's his first time seeing the little devil in person and it's already bad enough learning that your mother tried to leave you for dead, it's a whole other thing to find out she abandoned you in favor of this entitled brat. 'Must be genetic.' Jason thought. "Yeah. That's not happening." Robin narrows his eyes. "Yeah. You heard me - she's staying with me and just like how I told your bastard of a grandfather: if any of you even lay a hand on my kid - I'll put a bullet in your skulls," Jason pulls out one of his pistols, "That's a guarantee."

Robin grits his teeth. Before he could even think about lashing out, Batman stands in front of him. "Think about this, Jason-" "I have. A long time ago. No one is taking my kid away from me, especially you."

A rustling echoes from the vent. All men turn to you as you climb out.

"I got all the pictures, Red. Is there..-" Your sentence trails off. Your dad, Batman and Robin standing before you.

Anyone who was born or has lived in Gotham long enough are familiar with the iconic dynamic duo, but to see them in person is an entirely different experience. Usually, you would be excited - if it wasn't for the feeling that something was wrong.

"...what's going on?"

Batman took a few steps towards you only for Jason to jump infront. There's a feral look in his eyes, his shoulders raised up and his muscles tense.

“Jason, please-"

“No! We’re done talking.”

Turning around, Jason starts walking. “Come on, kid. We’re leaving.” Glancing at the duo, you stare at them for a good minute before reluctantly following Jason. “Wait-” Batman grabs your hand.

Before you realize it, Batman goes flying backwards.

You blink.

You find your dad right next to you, his leg outstretched, breathing heavily.

It took a few moments for the gears to turn in your head. Then you realized…

Your dad kicked Batman.

The Dark Knight groans and sits up holding his stomach. You stand in complete shock, unsure of what to make of what just happened. Seeing this, Robin grits his teeth and runs at him, jumping up to send a roundhouse kick towards Red Hood’s head. “Robin! No!” Batman yells. Jason effortlessly catches him, flinging him across the roof to the next building. He tumbles a few times before falling to the ground, groaning.

Your mouth hangs open, stilled by both fear, confusion, and complete shock. Jason scoffs and grabs your wrist. “Let’s go."

“Jason, please. Can we at least talk?” Batman reaches out to grab you again. In a blink of an eye, Jason pulls out his gun.

There’s a suffocating moment of silence.

Neither party made a single move.

Despite your utter horror, the conflicted thoughts, and denials running through your head, there’s no doubt anymore that what happened with those goons is true - your dad had shot and killed them.

“Talk? Talk?! I said, we were done talking. I guess I didn’t make myself clear enough.” His finger begins to press down on the trigger. Your eyes blow wide, you shout. “Dad! Don’t-”

A gunshot never rang out. Batman kicked the gun out of his hand. He simultaneously grabs your arm and pulls you behind him. Robin, with a throbbing headache, stands up. “Robin! Take Scarlet away from here!” Red Hood growls and tries to bring his other gun out but Batman punches that one out too. Robin nods and grabs your arm. “Hey - wait!”

With both of his weapons out of reach, Jason takes to using his fist and goes straight for his nose. Batman catches it and punishes him by striking him twice in the abdomen before kicking him and sending him across the rooftop.

"Come on, let's get you out of here!" Robin is tugging at your arm, but you kept yourself planted. "No! I'm not leaving without my dad!"

Batman walks over. Jason lifts himself up, giving Batman the deadliest glares you’ve ever seen from him. Bruce says nothing and raises his fist at him, ready to land another punch.

"Stop!"

You ran between the two.

Batman halts. You stand there with your arms wide using your entire body to shield your father. "Don't hurt him!"

Batman lowers his fist and stands straight. "You don't understand. What you're doing.. it's not right." You glared at him. "So what?" Batman's gaze hardens. "You can get hurt or worse. Not to mention, where you live is just as unsafe." He kneels down to your eye-level. "If you live with me, with us, we can give you a better home, get you into a better school." He places a hand on your shoulder. Jason tenses up. "Become a family." You held your gaze with him. You didn't move from your spot nor let your arms down despite them beginning to ache. "I already have a family. It's him!" Batman goes silent. Robin grits his teeth. "Don't you get it? You'll die living like this!" "So what!" You snapped. "I rather die right beside my dad than leave him behind!" You hear a groan behind you and turn around. Your dad was struggling to get up, grunting as he held his stomach. You rush to his side, catching him when he falls. Batman steps to you, calling your name as he reaches a hand to you. "No!" You yell, clutching your dad harder, glaring harder at the Dark Knight. "You aren't taking me from him! I'm staying right here and if you try, you'll have to kill me to do it!" Batman stops. You were glued to Jason's side, standing next to him so defensively, ready to put up a fight. Robin was growing impatient and stomped his way to you. "You will come with us, whether you like it or no-" "Stop." Batman halts his son. Before Robin could argue, he turns away from you two, walking to the edge of the roof. "We're leaving." "But-" Batman narrows his eyes. Robin glances at Jason, then you. He holds his gaze with you, clutching his fists, before forcing himself to follow his father. The duo hop off from the roof, disappearing into the night. As if on cue, thunder rumbles across the sky, a heavy downpour following after.

You turn to your dad. He tries to get up again, this time, you help him by wrapping his arm around your shoulder and standing up. "Are you okay?" Jason groans. "I'll be fine. Are you alright?" You chuckle. "I'm alright. But we should get home." You say, then carefully guided him to the rooftop edge.

Phobia Factor

Duncan x GNReader

Ep: Phobia Factor

TW: suicide talk and panic attack

All the campers are gathered around the fire sharing their fears. But you, you're a little smarter than that. but not as smart as Chris.

I know this isn't like a main fear some of y'all have, but this is a main fear for me. so I just wanted to put it out there beforehand. also just to clarify, y'all aren't dating in the beginning.

- - - - - -

"c-celine dion music store standees..." Duncan says while his head hung low. "uh exsqueeze me? I didn't quite catch that" Cody exclaimed while leaning more towards Duncan. "shut the fuck up you little asshole or I'll kick your puny ass into next week's challenge." Duncan said while holding Cody's shirt.

(in the confession booth)

"uhhh I'm a little scared right now. like I have a feeling Chris is gonna get some sick twisted idea for us. ya know, since we're saying what our fears were. but ain't no way I'm saying that shit Infront of people. and ain't no way I'm saying it here either." I say while crossing my arms.

(with Chris and Chef)

"heh heh heh, oh don't worry y/n. we've been watching you very carefully. you don't have to say what your fear is, I already know it." Chris said followed by a maniacal laugh. "ya know man, you're one sick freak. but me too." chef said while eating his dessert.

(back at the campfire)

"what about you y/n? what are you scared of?" Courtney egged on. "y'all a bunch of dumbasses ya know. y'all seriously didn't think that Chris is gonna do something with this info that he has on us now." I say. "omg you're rightttt." Lindsey said. you facepalmed and shook your head. "I'm headed to bed, good night y'all." I say while stretching and popping my back. "wait up sweetheart, I'll walk you there." Duncan says while walking behind you. "why's that bitch gotta take him away?" Courtney said quietly.

"you know, I have a feeling you're right about the whole Chris gonna do something with our fears thing." Duncan said while putting his arm around your shoulder. "I told y'all" I say, "well good night Duncan. I'll hopefully see you tomorrow." "good night babe." he says while kissing the back of your hand.

'why are feelings so hard. I think I'm falling for Duncan. we've just clicked from the beginning. shit. but I'm in this to win it.' I think to myself before falling asleep

(next morning)

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING CAMPERS. RISE AND SHINE. MEET ME AT THE LODGE FOR BREAKFAST IN 5 MINUTES." Chris yelled over the loudspeakers. "can't we just get 30 more minutes of fuckin sleep?" leshawna said while rubbing her head.

after I got dressed, I walked out of the cabin and was met with Duncan having his back facing me. "hey sweet cheeks, you ready?" "yeah yeah I'm coming." I say still trying to wake up. we started walking to the lodge and I felt someone glaring daggers into my back. I turn around and nothings there. I brush off the feeling and keep walking.

"heyyyy campers. while you finish up breaky, how about heather meet me up at the amphitheater. it's sumooooooo time." "WHAT" Heather spats out along with her drink which hit Gwen. "real fuckin nice heather." Gwen said while her face dripping in water. "awww at least it's a good look on you." Heather says while walking out, shaking with fear.

"see I told you assholes Chris was gonna do something." I yell. "hey y/n. I need to talk to you. it's something important." Chef says while he pulls me out the door.

"ok guys. I found out what y/n's fear is. and I'm really not gonna like saying this but, I need y'all's help to make it work." Chris whisper yells.

(after Chris explained what they need to do)

"you're one sick ticket dude." leshawna says. "yeah man, this is just wrong." Duncan said with his head hung.

(at the amphitheater)

"ohhhhh ok I get it now. thanks chef." I say while walking to go sit next to Duncan. "no problem y/n." chef says going back to Chris. "hey Duncan." I sit down next to him. *silence* "uhh Duncan? you ok?" "why the fuck are you always following me around? get the fuck away from me. this is why Courtney's better than you." he snaps. "......oh. I'm sorry." I sadly say. I get up and go sit next to Gwen. "hey Gwen." "ughh the hell do you want? if you're not gonna be useful then stop wasting my time." Gwen yells. I have one more person I can go to. "hey trent." I say hoping he's not gonna be the the other two. "omg y/n stop thinking we're friends. we are not friends and we will never be friends. go jump off the fucking cliff we did in the first challenge. you'd be doing us a favor." trent says while regretting every word that came out of his mouth.

'fuck fuck fuck. it's happening again' I say in my head. I get up and walk to the woods.

"SHIT. WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME." I cry while sliding down a tree to sit down.

*suicide talk starts*

they were right. I should jump off that cliff. my breathing becomes ragged and unstable. I start to shake and my vision gets blurry.

(with Duncan)

'where did y/n go?' Duncan thought. but then a certain memory can across his mind.

*flashback*

"yeah I've had to move schools alot because of how much the people there bullied me and told me things that broke my mental health. I've been told to kill myself. multiple times. my biggest fear is being replaced and forgotten." I say.

me and Duncan were somewhere in the woods just talking. me and him have gotten kinda close but not that close.

*back to now*

Duncan pov:

"I fucked up. I fucked up bad." I say while standing up. I run. I don't know where I'm running to, but I'm running. wait, I'm running to find y/n. I check the cabin, I check the lodge, I check the bathroom. I check everywhere. wait, the woods.

your pov:

it's getting worse. this is the worst attack I've ever had. I start scratching my arm to try and regain neutrality. but nothing is working. I can't stand. I can't talk. I can't think.

Duncan pov:

shit shit shit. I hear them, but I don't know where they are. "Y/N" I yell to at least try. but alas, I don't hear a response.

your pov:

"Y/N"

I faintly hear my name but I can't respond. no matter how hard I try. my voice just won't come out. but I see some rocks. I pick one up and find the strength to throw it. I get one about a foot away from me. I pick up another one, this time I got it a little farther. the last rock, I throw it the farthest. then j hear rapid footsteps coming towards me.

"holy shit y/n. I'm so sorry. I'm a horrible person." Duncan says with tears in his eyes. he picks me up and puts me in his lap while he sits against the tree. he has his hand on the back of my head. 'this is nice' I think. Im still shaking. my throat is hoarse from crying. I'm weak from the energy I've been exerting.

after a good hour or two, I've finally calmed down. Duncan noticed it and asked, "do you wanna go back with the others or to the cabin?" it was around the afternoon and the challenge is over.

"I wanna go see Trent and Gwen." I say barely audible. "ok sweet cheeks let's go."

he picks me up and puts his arm around my waist and we begin walking.

"y/n omg I'm so sorry. I'm such a shitty person. please forgive me. I'll do anything." Gwen said while crying and hugging me. I hug back. "I forgive you. but please never do that again. promise?" "I promise." we break from the hug and I sit down. "fuck y/n. I'm so sorry, I'm a horrible friend. I shouldn't have said those things to you." Trent said while also crying. "please forgive me." "it's gonna take a while for me to forgive you. but I accept you're apology."

we all eat dinner and eve's drop the campfire ceremony. Tyler gets voted off. and we all go back to the cabins.

"y/n!"

"oh hey Duncan. what's up?"

"lemme walk you to your cabin."

"sure"

we begin walking and he says

"y/n. I think I like you. like I get nervous around you and I care about you a lot and when I saw you having that panic attack, I felt horrible because I knew I was the cause. but forget that, I want to be with you. I wanna be by your side through everything. even after this shit show."

"Duncan I like you too."

he closed the gap between us.

after a few minutes, we part.

"well good night sweet cheeks. think if me when you dream" he says

"I already do"

"WHAT" he says with the biggest blush on his face.

Babs, Bruce and Danny in my dpxdc merfolk au!!!

argh, plz excuse the poorly edited photo lmao- lost a lot of detail TvT

Babs has her info Here. But this is her design! I’m not actually entirely sure if any of these designs are final, i might tweak them, but here she is! I gave her necklaces.

Bruce is based on a leatherback sea turtle! The spots aren’t actually super accurate to a leatherback’s underside, but if you look at it a little harder... you may find a fun little easter egg. It’s subtle... or at least i tried to make it that way. (If people don’t get it i’ll explain in a rb lol) Did you know that leatherback sea turtles can be up to 880 pounds? Idk what that is in metric but that’s roughly 7 and a half Bahfevs. They’re also much more triangular/less round than other turtles, so I reflected that in his design. And ofc, Bruce and Damian are both sea turtles bc they’re related. But they’re different sea turtle species so it doesn’t make much sense. Who gives a flip. What’s Talia, you ask? To that I say: 🤷‍♀️

(Side note: apparently, I’ve conditioned myself so I can’t draw nuetral expressions. It’s gotta have some emotion or else it looks wrong, and it feels natural to always have something going on there. So... drawing Stoic McStoicface here was a pain in the penis. He kinda has an expression anyway lol)

Danny is based on a ghost knife fish! I’ll be honest, i didn’t even know these existed until I looked up “ghost fish” in the hopes of finding something thematic. But then... omg! They’re black with little white accents? Like Danny’s design? And they have cool, funky bodies? AND they produce electricity!?? That’s so FKING COOL! I’ll have to do more research, but so far i’m pretty sure they don’t produce enough electricity to hurt someone. They are related to electric eels though! I first learned that electric eels were knife fish and not true eels when I was researching the moray eel for Duke. Funny how that connects!

Danny’s story under the cut!

Heehoo!

Okay so basically: Danny went diving to gather pearls because he wanted to make his parents happy/proud. While he was diving, His foot got caught in a rock and he couldn’t get it out. He panicked and he begged— to who? God, maybe? The universe, or the ocean? Maybe just begging fate or any higher power that could be out there, he doesn’t know. His only prayer was “Don’t let me drown!”. Unbeknownst to him, one of the pearls he’d grabbed was a magic, wish granting pearl. They’re rare enough that humans don’t even have legends of them... but the merfolk do ;).

The pearl took his very non-specific wish and decided to give him a tail and gills. He swam back up in a panic, and saw his new tail. Of course, this is a very horrifying thing to happen. But in less than a minute... it was already starting to dry off. As it dried, it turned back into skin.

Now, Danny has to be extremely careful not to get his legs or hair wet when he’s near people, because he’ll turn back into a merboy.

i... probably should have given him a shirt? He’d be wearing it, right? But i also did need to see what I was doing with that fin thing lol. I mean, a shirt would get annoying with that fin- he’d probably take it off. Tbh he’d probably have it off when swimming in general? Idk.

So: funny thing that happened when I was drawing Danny:

A first grader came up to me while I had it open on my desk, and she was like:

“Oh my god, that’s so good! Like, how did you even draw that?”

so I was like: “Oh thank you! ❤️”

And I think she asked again “How did you even draw that?”

so I was a little confused on how to answer, so I said:

“Well, I used my pencil...” and held up my pencil—

and then she got distracted by a spinny chair.

She’s so precious omg 🥰

Adventures at Swap Night

I’ve always been a kinky minded person, but due to being a shy introvert I’ve never really acted on them, without kink friends it’s hard to feel comfortable going to events or acting on my impulses. Instead I use social media to observe from afar and live vicariously through others, might not be the most healthy coping method but it works. Well that was my method until I saw a flyer for this event called Swap Night at my area’s local fetish club and getting drunk one evening, tickets were bought and contact info given before I even had the chance to chicken out.

Not really knowing what the event was exactly, I thought it was where kinky minded gear lovers gathered and trade clothing etc, you know like a swap shop sort of thing, I dressed in some of my older stuff hoping someone might approach me interested in a trade.

Entering the venue the feeling was as electric as I’d hoped giving me a new kind of confidence and excitement I’d not felt before. Everywhere I looked there were people being their authentic selves, pups, gimps, leather daddies, anything you can imagine you could see someone encapsulating that idea, it was incredible. After sitting at the bar drinking for probably 30 minutes, I heard some mic taps and this big bloke dressed in chaps and a leather waistcoat now stood on the stage.

“Gentleman, Pups, Doms, Subs & everyone else, welcome! Glad to see all of you here. Now are you ready to get Swap Night started!!”

The crowd cheered and some even wolf whistled.

He continued “Well then get ready to receive your texts and head to your designated spaces, and remember have fun swapping!!”

*bzzzt* I feel my phone vibrate a text pops up

“Hey, when you’re ready head to room 302 to begin your night ;)”

Finding my way out the back I found 302 not sure what to expect I hesitantly opened the door only to find an empty hotel suite

*bzzzt* “Get comfy and lay down on the bed” feeling it better to just obey the message rather than try to rationalise and figure this all out I put my head down and next thing I knew I was in a deep deep sleep, felt like I was swimming or falling through a black void, then suddenly a whiteness washed over me and I was awake again but something felt different, my clothes felt odd, tighter and only one piece, but then I felt different thinner, taller I stood up, luckily the room had a mirror and that’s when I saw me, well I think it was me.

I was some rubber guy, and not my usual self. And I was hot, like a sex machine, whoever this guy was he had given me a real gift, lucky the rubber had a front zip and releasing my new beast was amazing I was uncut and big, I started to stroke it getting hard, hornier and sweatier the rubber really sealing in all my new juices. I was in heaven, I was the ideal sexy rubber guy, horny and ready to please myself and others.

*bzzzt* a new message appeared on this body’s phone it was an image followed by a short message

“Hey new me, fancy coming to play with Daddy? Find me in room 310, I’ll be waiting ;)”

My new cock sprayed all down the mirror the message and invite sending me over the edge, looks like the previous owner of this body might have been a narcissist. Now I’ve gotta go, don’t wanna disappoint my rubber Daddy!

And if you ever see a Swap Night in your area go, it can be a real eye opening experience ;)

I got thinking, for Satoshi’s revenge plot he’d have to go through some info gathering stage beforehand. No self respecting Lin Kuei goes in blind, so he’s had to have questioned someone about the Kombat Kids and Takeda before making a move, and really the only person that could feasibly be would be Eeron Black. He’s the only one that’s had multiple run ins with the kids that isn’t some wacky Outworld creature. Imagine if this is how he finds out about what Hanzo has been through and what he did as Scorpion. It’s all second hand hearsay and sounds too far fetched to be true, but what if?

Eeron: Takahashi Takeda? Quite the bounty you’re going for. He won’t be an easy one to pin down. Believe me.

Your best bet: get ‘em alone. Easier said than done, of course. He’s usually with that Briggs doll. She’s a tough nut to crack so best avoid her. If not her, then it’s probably Cage or that Shaolin, or worse yet, Frost. And if it’s Scorpion he’s with, don’t even bother. The fight will be done before it even starts. There’s no quick draw faster than that man’s rope spears.

Satoshi, not knowing who Scorpion is: You’re scared of a man named after a bug?

Eeron: I don’t fear nothing, kid. But Hanzo Hasashi has a kill count that puts whole armies to shame, you gotta respect that, and he’s taught your target everything he knows. There ain’t no killing him either, he just comes back more pissed than before. Trust me, if you want a lick of a chance: avoid the Shirai Ryu Grandmaster.

Satoshi: Did you say....Hanzo Hasashi?

Erron: Indeed I did

Satoshi, unable to decide if he's angry or elated: He's alive?!

Erron: For a given definition of the word

Satoshi: What does that even mean?

Erron: Well I told you how ya can't kill him, yeah?

Satoshi nods

Erron: Apparently he died, went to hell and then came back to kill the people that had murdered his family. Damn near caused the apocalypse to do it to

Satoshi:.....Did he succeed?

Erron: Far as I know, yeah

Satoshi, tossing some coins on the table: Thank you, for your information

Erron: Not a problem, pleasure doing business with you

my dream mc modpack is i think

create and tinkers. disable slime islands.

massively nerf storage. the player's inventory and backpacks stay the same, but otherwise 1 m^2 is a max of 10 item types and 64 items total.

in exchange for that, it's easy to make multi block storage or to unify multiple storage blocks into one interface like ae2. By the early midgame "ah, I need more cobblestone, let me add another cobblestone warehouse" is easy.

you CANNOT void items. If an item would despawn, it places itself on the ground if it can. If it's not a block, it places a "refuse layer" that stack up and form piles. and if it can't find a valid placement location then the chunk starts dealing damage ticks to you because fuck you! don't try and cheat my system

whenever possible, gathering items should impact the world. mining requires leaving mines and spoil tips, forestry and farming require space, industrial processes are larger and get larger the higher tech they are. Solar power takes up actual space, no "tier 5 draconic solar panel" shit. (When possible this isn't just "10x10x10 multiblock" it's a series of machines that need to work together.)

uneven resource distribution, you have to go different places for different ores, i love when modpacks do this

There's an early item called the drafting table that lets you enter into spectator mode with copy/paste and worldedit features within a range around the drafting table. Inventories linked to the drafting table get used by construction bots to construct and deconstruct. Expanding the range and capabilities of your drafting table is an important part of the mod. To get you started it has an inventory the size of 10 double chests, but you can't place two drafting tables within range of one another.

Construction bots can mine natural blocks but they can't collect them, to 1) encourage actual mining solutions and 2) let you build underground bases without creating tons of spoil.

Chisel mod but more. Most decorative blocks are unified into 20 'structural base' blocks that can be stonecuttered into a variety of decorative blocks. So e.g. you automate 'wooden structure block' which can be stonecut (in the drafting table ui this is a radial menu or something) into logs, stripped, planks, slabs, various 'chisel' textures all at a 1-1 ratio. When mined, they drop as 'x structure block', preventing you from needing to micromanage which building blocks you have enough of. eg you don't say 'shit i need more mossy bricks', you say 'i need more stone structural blocks' which means bigger factory, not crafting montage.

easy and convenient wireless redstone and wireless storage info, but no ender chest stuff. data is easy to get from a to b, and materials require infrastructure.

thermal dynamics viaducts are the primary player transportation thing, bc i think they rule extremely hard. lategame transportation is the jump clone ichun mod. and/or getting fired out of artillery. you gotta water bucket clutch tho

none of that 'oh the endgame is making creative items with omega crafting' shit. you launch a rocket into the sun (the joke is that this is the only way to truly void items, so it is the Ultimate Tech) and the credits play. there can be 'postgame' stuff but i hate a modpack that overstays its welcome and makes 100%ing it the only 'winning'.

Oshi No Ko Chapter 153 - My Thoughts/Analysis

This chapter was a bit of a mixed bag for me, but it’s at least an improvement over the absolute trasheap that the last chapter was. As always, spoilers for Oshi No Ko Ch 153 below.

We start off the chapter with a continuation to this interaction between Hikaru and Aqua. With how this series has been timeskipping so much recently I half expected this confrontation to also be done offscreen. Would be par for the course at this point. Let’s see how this turns out now that we’re actually getting the proper screetime for them to talk.

Hikaru is the managing director of some media company? You’d think that something like this would’ve been shown earlier in the manga when Akane was gathering info on Hikaru but it’s honestly not that relevant now that Aqua and Hikaru are face to face like this. Again—this entire Aqua-Hikaru interaction should’ve had more buildup to it but I’d be beating a dead horse if I kept expressing my displeasure about it.

It seems you’ve researched me through and through. Yeah, Aqua probably has done that for the movie—whether or not it’s completely accurate or not. Though we don’t actually get to see Aqua do much on that—he’s certainly researched Ai and her past but not so much for Hikaru. You’d think that after he knew his identity it would’ve been shown that he was sniffing for clues but oh yeah! The manga just handwaved that like so many other important factoids.

Interesting that Hikaru says that the movie was fiction despite the fact that the information in it was actually accurate. Considering he was involved in these events I’m not sure whether or not to trust his words in general. Not to mention this whole thing about the events being fabricated, exaggerated and some other bits excised from the movie itself. Whether or not it’s true—I think it’s still a fact that it’s not quite Ai and Hikaru’s story being told in the movie. Not perfectly at least. Allowing Abiko and Yoriko to change up aspects of the script clued us into that. The question remains—how accurate is all of it—is something that I hope to see before the manga ends.

Gotta have to give props to the art with Hikaru in this one panel. It’s very…what is the term? Angelic? No, illuminating. White background with his figure front and center. Trying to give off an atmosphere of cold certainty, if I had to pin an emotion to it. My only complaint is that his black star eyes aren’t very striking in this panel when we’ve seen Aqua’s black star eyes go hard in a lot of other panels.

She never loved me once. Now that’s an interesting thing to say. Especially since Hikaru himself is now the only person in the series that actually experienced the Ai-Hikaru relationship in its entirety. While the movie may have attempted to portray their relationship, it also didn’t do a perfect job at doing so, even if they may have preserved the heart of it. I’ll have more thoughts when the chapter ends since I want to see how this interaction develops.

So we’re finally getting the confirmation that Hikaru killed Ai. About time, really. Having Hikaru’s character and motives be shrouded in mystery for this long in the series made the possibility that he didn’t intend for Ai to die still plausible, though doubtful. The mechanism of Ai’s death has been suspected by Aqua for a majority of the series, so I’d be fine if they just handwave that factoid out of the picture.

This movie will get me killed socially. Here we go again with this entire bit. It’s much too expository for my tastes. Akane and Hikaru both believe that the movie will get him killed socially but really, it wouldn’t be very realistic to think that unless someone directly spills the beans to the public later down the line anyway, and even then if Hikaru was popular and influential enough the industry would let him trudge on even after the reputation hit. It’s not like the industry really cares if someone high up is a horrible person unless they make too much of a mess of things for someone to go public with that sort of thing.

THE DVDS??? For the love of all the gods and deities above I need to know what are in those DVDs. They’ve been lingering in the background for long enough and defined a large part of Aqua’s motivations throughout the movie arc for so long that it’s difficult to grasp what Aqua’s thinking half the time.

If revenge against me was what she wanted then I’ll accept it. I loved her from the bottom of my heart, after all. Huh. So that’s why he’s been fine with letting the twins run their revenge scheme like this. I’m inclined to believe him here personally—but it’s also possible that he’s letting his own Issues affect his thinking. From how he described Ai before, it could that he holds some guilt in being responsible for Ai’s death that he’s fine with the twins killing him like this if it’s what Ai wanted, though this is all just speculation.

So that’s why this meeting has been so civil. Hikaru’s wanted to talk to Aqua for awhile now, it seems. It’s still bad writing that we didn’t actually get to see them interact before this interview though. Spending a chapter to set this interview up could’ve allowed the buildup to not feel like something out of a cheap paperback. Not to mention not showing us why Aqua has white star eyes in the first place and just what caused that exactly.

Wait a second the DVDs were on the table??? And this couldn’t have been easily shown to us in the previous chapter or in the previous panels??? Please. That’s bad narrative writing right there.

If Aqua can say that so confidently to Hikaru’s face then the DVDs HAVE to talk about Ai and Hikaru somewhat. Now the true test, will Aqua give the readers that info or is that going to be offscreened?

Oh? Is this still the movie? Perhaps I need to give the manga more credit if it’s actually showing us this in some detail after the fact. Though it’s also plausible that this is just Hikaru’s flashback instead of the movie—which, is probably better than showing the movie like this anyway, but something like that would have to depend on this entire flashback pans out.

That’s why you have to shoulder the burden of living their lives from now on. Welp, sorry Kindaichi you’ve just damned this young kid to a life of horrible coping mechanisms! Joking aside this entire situation is just really capital grade fucked. Even though the man was just trying to help Hikaru get through the funeral he didn’t know just how unstable the boy was. At least Ai had Ichigo and to a lesser extent, Miyako to help her through the harshness of the industry. Hikaru didn’t have the support system that would keep him stable—and even Ai herself wasn’t exactly a paragon of stability even at her best.

Also!!! Baby Taiki! If only we could’ve seen more of him in the manga—he would’ve been a great contrast to both Aqua and Ruby but alas he’s been relegated to a side character. Another pocket of missed potential, that one.

Okay so it isn’t a flashback. Hikaru actually has two white star eyes here and that’s not a trait we’ve ever seen Aqua have. So it seems we’ll be delving into more of his backstory that wasn’t covered by the movie here and hopefully more next chapter. I also wonder if he’s actually explaining this all to Aqua or is this all just him thinking in his head right now, but we’ll see the results of this flashback soon enough.

These two pages of a younger Hikaru and Ai…it’s so bittersweet. If what Aqua’s implying is true it means that Ai loved Hikaru all along and we already know where their relationship ended up after everything.

Damn Ai. I know you have your Own Issues but it was also kind of harsh just leaving Hikaru out in the cold like that. Can’t say I blame her, but maybe this entire flashback between them will get more fleshed out next chapter to encompass Hikaru’s own reaction and how he masterminded Ai’s death.

I have a lot to say about this chapter. It’s nice that we finally got more interaction between Aqua and Hikaru where it wasn’t just Aqua yapping on about revenge. Ditto with the fact that the DVDs have finally made an appearance after being sat on for a hell of a lot of chapters by now. Though…even if the implication with these DVDs are that they explain what Ai felt for Hikaru, I wonder if that’s just all they talk about. There’s still potential for more to be dredged up by their content. Not to mention there hasn’t been much of any talk about Ai’s DVD for Ruby, but that’s also something that I wouldn’t be surprised was also offscreened considering that we didn’t see the content of the DVDs when they showed up the first time.

Then there’s also the fact that Aqua is implying that Ai loved Hikaru this whole time even after she pushed him away. I don’t quite think this reveal quite sticks the landing here. Hikaru as a character was only really revealed quite late into the series and now that we’re focusing on him these reveals about his personality and character are much too late to have any effect because either they’re all thrown at us at once or when they do give us crumbs to his disposition, they’re too obscured by the narrative for us to get a good enough grasp on him for the reader to care about him as a character and a person rather than as an antagonistic force as he was for the majority of the series.

The point I’m trying to make here is that there was nothing leading us away from the direction that Ai loved Hikaru all along to make this reveal more satisfying. We’d already known that Ai had her own Issues when it comes to intimacy and affection, not to mention being similar enough to Hikaru that they were drawn together. The movie in itself seemed to imply this factoid by showing Ai’s backstory and displaying her own Issues straight to the reader. Ai herself seemed to be on relatively good terms with Hikaru enough that she still kept in contact with him. She wouldn’t have done that if their breakup was one that ended badly enough that she didn’t want to have anything to do with Hikaru afterwards.

I think it’s also important to note here after this flashback, that assuming Hikaru is telling the truth to Aqua, that from his perspective Ai certainly never loved him all along. He wouldn’t have reacted how he did otherwise. I don’t want to spent too many brain cells on this point because I’m sure we’ll be getting more detail next chapter, but I want to touch on this point slightly.

Both Ai and Hikaru were teenagers that were heavily damaged by their own pasts and thrust into an industry that was poised to take advantage of them. They may have found some solace in each other at the time, but that was only a band-aid to help stop the bleeding caused by their respective issues. They never dealt with the root cause of what was causing their respective traumas to flare up. They just dealt with the symptoms of their own respective issues together and that was what kept them together for as long as they did. Their relationship was bound to end badly if they didn’t address their trauma in time and we all know what happens next.

The entire scene when Ai says that they shouldn’t see each other any more is only given to us partially so it’s difficult to judge just if Ai just sprung this idea to Hikaru out of the blue or if she tried to lay him down gently but from the presence of the toothbrush and what looks to be toothpaste it might just be the former. Hikaru certainly would have some grounds to stand on to think that Ai never loved him if she let him down so suddenly without sufficient explanation.

But I want to go back to how Hikaru says that Ai never loved him. Aqua seems to think differently because of these DVDs, implying that Ai actually did love him. Hikaru certainly feels that Ai never loved him, despite the fact that the narrative is pointing in the opposite direction. Whether or not Ai actually loved him is irrelevant to the matter at hand because Hikaru himself wasn’t able to recognize that love. It doesn’t matter how much love another person can give another if that person isn’t able to recognize that love for what it actually is. Hikaru was unable to see through Ai’s lies in this instance and I don’t think that’s a mark against him.

While this is a case where I don’t think both parties can be at fault here—with Ai having difficulty with communicating intimacy and Hikaru’s own trauma rearing its head—that doesn't change the result of their story. Ai was unable to communicate whether or not she loved Hikaru clearly even knowing his tragic backstory and Hikaru was unable to recognize Ai’s behavior as love even as he knew that she had her own issues. Good communication is the bedrock in any relationship and two traumatized teenagers aren’t the best at it in an ideal scenario.

This is of course, assuming that Hikaru isn’t lying straight to Aqua’s face. But I doubt it, personally. He doesn’t have any reason to lie, and he’s already admitted that he thinks that he’ll be killed socially by this movie. Aqua basically already has Hikaru dead to rights here. It appears that everything that Hikaru’s done seems to be for some sense of closure. He wants to see Aqua’s rationale in making this movie in the first place.

I do have some issues with the fact that Aqua’s revenge plot seems to have pivoted to showing Hikaru that Ai loved him all along. While, sure, I can see the throughline that the writers wanted us to follow, it seems more than a bit strange for Aqua to suddenly be satisfied with merely letting Hikaru know that Ai actually loved him when he explicitly wanted to destroy Hikaru in the most painful way he knew how before he watched these DVDs. Does he really think that explaining this all to him will break him better? Or is he putting his revenge plot aside to fulfill Ai’s last wish? Perhaps this too will be explained in a flashback?

We also see how Aqua has been planning the movie throughout the movie arc for revenge but this recontextualization of his actions because of the DVDs is executed halfheartedly. We were primed to think that the movie was made to further Aqua’s revenge scheme but during the movie arc itself Aqua changed his mind on what the movie was going to do because of the DVDs. This behavioral shift from “Aqua making this movie to take revenge on Hikaru” and “Aqua is now making this movie to fulfill Ai’s last wish” doesn’t come across clearly. We don’t get to see the different directions that the movie took within production that makes it clear that Aqua’s objective has changed at all from after he watched the DVDs.

It could also be the case that Aqua thinks that Hikaru knowing that Ai really loved him all along and he killed her will break Hikaru better, but pulling that now when the trigger of the DVDs have already been pushed is just a cheap way for the manga to have its cake and eat it too when such a direction wasn’t properly built up beforehand. Aqua at the time wasn’t able to get a grasp on Hikaru’s character as an adult so he might’ve moved on from Ai’s death completely. If Hikaru didn’t approach Aqua with this interview he might’ve never known that Ai actually loved him though this movie. What was Aqua’s plan then? Just go up to Hikaru and straight up tell him after the movie premiered?

Of course, maybe some or all of my criticisms will be addressed in the later chapters. This is the final arc where everything gets wrapped up, after all. With all the lingering threads—Yura’s murder, Nino’s involvement with Hikaru, and arguably even how Hikaru masterminded Ai’s death—still in the air, I hope that we’ll get getting some satisfactory answers alongside some chapters that don’t make me want to dip everything written on the pages in red ink.

Chapter II Fire

"Reiner… Reiner!"

The large blonde hears his name being called from somewhere in the void as he is roused from a deep slumber.

"Hm?" He squints, sunlight invading his sight as he forgets where he is for a moment.

"We've slept in, we're going to be late." y/n calls from the entrance of the tent. "Come on, we really gotta' go."

She exits the tent flap, leaving Reiner trying to gather his bearings. His eyes enlarge as memories of the night before surface, his nose instantly burning crimson and his jaw slacking.

Was all that just a cruel dream?

Sitting up, he looks around the interior of the tent, looking for any clues of whether or not his night of passionate love-making was just something his brain concocted while he was asleep. His bed hair sticks in various directions as he glances down under the sleeping bag.

He was naked.

The bags were zipped together into a large, double blanket.

It was real.

He made love to the woman he has been worshipping from afar.

Stunned, he's bombarded with emotion. Elation, a tad bit confused as to why they'd slept so deeply and then bashful.

Well, we gotta get married now. He thinks, still stunned. I wonder what kind of dress she would wear… She'll look gorgeous no matter what. Bertoldt will be the best man -

"Reiner!"

"I'm coming." He winces, hurriedly shuffling and beginning to get dressed.

Once the tent and everything else were packed away they returned to their hike to their destination of wilderness training.

"I can't believe it's so late." y/n frowns as they quickened their pace. "We're going to be the last ones back."

Reiner's cheeks burn and he glances away. "It was worth it."

Stopping in her tracks, she turns to face the blushing, love-struck mess that is Reiner Braun.

"Of course it was." Her voice softens. "I didn't mean it like that…"

Reiner takes her hand, face still burning and holds it onto his chest. She can feel his heart hammering against his ribs as he runs his thumb back and forth over her hand.

"I know you didn't."

Standing up on her tip-toes, she plants her lips upon his; reminding him how special he was to her, regardless of their score later today.

"We can worry about it later." She then adds, her voice as soft as the whispering breeze that rustles through the trees. "We're already late so we might as well take our time. It's not often we get to be alone."

His face burns brighter feeling even more like the luckiest man alive.

They took their time, strolling through the dense forest with their fingers laced together, leisurely swinging their arms like love-drunk teens. They laughed as they talked about this and that. It was even different between them in regard to the training. When there was a large drop to scale down, Reiner would grab her waist and assist her even though they both knew she would be able to do it herself without any problem.

The sun was starting to set as the Cadets gathered around the horses and carts, ready to be taken back down to Trost barracks for their days off.

"It's not like y/n to be this behind." Eren frowns, looking at the darkening sky. "Or Reiner for that matter."

"They're two of the best in our class. I'm sure they just got lost or something." Armin reassured his friend, although that glint of concern was also behind his eyes.

"L/N and Braun - not only dead last but two hours after everyone else." Shadis scolds as he scribbles down notes.

Their classmates look to see Reiner and y/n emerging into the clearing, Reiner looking like he was on cloud nine, the pink etch across his nose not leaving him all day. y/n winced. Reiner didn't seem to care.

"Sir. Sorry, sir." Reiner explained, stiffening his spine. "It's my fault. I kept l/n awake with my snoring and we slept in. It was l/n who woke me up, sir."

Re-joining their fellow cadets as Shadis went into the cabin, Bertoldt went hurrying over to Reiner and Eren, Armin and Mikasa to y/n.

"I was starting to think the worst." Eren scolded lightly, his tight frown was evident. "It's not like you to be this late."

"We slept in." She reiterated with a sigh.

It wasn't exactly a lie, and it's not like their friends didn't have good reason to be concerned; people can and have died during cadet exercises such as these.

"You don't snore." Bertoldt muttered to Reiner.

"Well, I do now," Reiner replied simply, with a stern look. A look that clearly said; "don't ask questions"

"Okay, you lazy shits," Shadis announced as he emerged from the cabin with his paperwork. "Everyone in the carts. Braun. l/n. The worst performance from two of my best. I can't say I'm not disappointed. Because of your lack of astuteness, you two are walking back to Trost. By the time you get there, one whole day of your three days off will be gone. Maybe next time, you'll know how to wake your sorry asses up. Dismissed."

"Sir." They chant in unison with a salute.

"Well… guess we'll see you tomorrow." Armin winces. "Try to take care, okay?"

Connie, Sasha and Jean held in their laughs as the carts began to roll away, taking them back down into civilisation. "Toodle-hoo!" Connie cries out, waving a white handkerchief at the pair as they rolled by.

"That little…" y/n laughed. "Remind me to crush him when we get back." "Second that." Reiner replies, his large arms folding across his chest.

"Well…" y/n sighed as the last cart went out of view. "I can't say I'm not disappointed in myself."

"Look at the bright side," Reiner smirked, pulling her up against his chest. "We have another night of being alone. Three whole days, if we wanted."

She couldn't help but smile a little shyly at the idea. "Yeah. It'd be good to spend some more time alone."

Reiner's narrow eyes glance up at the sky. "We should stay in the cabin tonight. Make our way down in the morning. Or the afternoon… or never."

She laughed beautifully, his pink hue returning.

I'm sure I've died and gone to heaven… He thinks to himself.

It was dark by the time Reiner had made them something to eat on the cliffside deck of the cabin. He'd insisted on it since she had cooked the night before. It wasn't as delicious as it would have been if she had made it, but it wasn't bad, either.

Once they had finished dinner, they retreated inside and sat by the fire within the cabin, the orange glow being the only light source. Reiner had wrapped a blanket around the two of them as they laughed and talked about this and that. It felt so good, Reiner's natural scent rolling off him as his big, strong arm held her into his chest. His body vibrated with each word he spoke, it was soothing.

After a couple of hours of sharing stories by the fire, y/n suddenly got up and took his hand, leading him into one of the bedrooms. That burning feeling in his cheeks was starting to become pretty familiar now as he allowed her to lead him in awe. Once the bedroom door was closed and Reiner latched the lock, y/n stood near him, without a word and pressed her mouth against his. He reciprocated with glee, more than happy to be intimate with the love of his life again.

His hands pressed against her back, her breasts pushing against his strong torso.

She began tugging the bottom of his shirt and he happily assisted in removing it for her, tossing it to the side before cupping her face and returning to his kiss. Gently leading her to the bed, he lay her down, only the silver glow of the moonlight illuminating the room.

The passion between them was indescribable, swirling infernos of affection burning within his core for her as he ran his fingers through her hair, laying atop her. The old cabin smelled a little like old damp wood and old man musk, but they didn't care. All they seemed to be able to perceive right now were each other and the mist of the liquid moonlight.

"So beautiful…" He husks with a deep breath. "I'm so lucky to have you like this."

Y/n's face pinkens at his words, feeling his large and hard member pushing through the cloth of their trousers and into her crotch. She remembers how amazing it feels to have such a strong, funny and caring man inside of her.

His lips trail down her collar bone and his fingers tremble as he starts unbuttoning her shirt, his kisses deep and yearning. She sings a sigh when her breasts are freed and his warm mouth encases her nipple, his eyes closed in hunger. His textured tongue flicks and circles it before gently nipping it with his teeth. He mentally noted she liked that a lot, with her sharp intake of breath.

I'm gonna need to remember all of this for when we're married…

Being so bare and raw with one another felt beyond amazing, emotions beginning to run high once again, being so close to the one they loved. "N'argh… y/n…" He whines, his lust quickly spiralling out of control, his movements quickening. "So perfect."

"Reiner…" She gasps, his words and moans pushing her own sanity.

Her nails sink into his back as he nips her neck with his teeth, his left hand pawing at her trousers and pulling them down her gorgeous pins. His cock throbs and pulses within the constraints of his uniform trousers, both of them glad they'd taken the time to bathe once they'd decided to take their time getting back.

She needed him. It was a feeling she couldn't really describe. It was desperation, she needed him to hold her in his strong arms, to fuck her like some caveman while he fauns over her.

"y/n…" He groans again, his lips moving down her ribs and to in-between her legs. Hearing him so hopeless for her ignited fires within her that she didn't even know were there. He fumbles with his belt while he keeps his face at her lower stomach, slobbering yearning kisses into her satin-soft skin. Relief temporarily washes over him as his throbbing dick springs free, eagerly waiting to be buried inside the one it desired so badly.

"I love you… god, I love you…" He hums out of his control before his tongue suddenly engulfs her soaking slit.

"Ha~~!" She cries out, her face pink and eyes closed as he softly makes out with her sex.

Her fingers run through his blonde strands as he groans into her, that pink etch across his nose reddening deeply. She wonders why she hadn't done this a lot sooner. But then again, maybe it wouldn't feel so special if she had.

"I need you…" She breathes, not really knowing what it was exactly that she needed.

But his primal instincts seemed to understand as he sits up, his face in awe at her gorgeous naked form before him. Hunching over her, his lips return to hers as his weeping head lines up at her entrance.

"I need you too…" He whispers, eyes hazed. "Marry me, y/n."

She glances away shyly, her heart swelling.

He gently grabs her chin and pulls her blushing gaze to his. "I mean it. I want you to be my wife. I want to do this with you every day, for the rest of my days."

Placing her hand on his cheek she kisses him before her reply. "After we graduate. Okay?"

He nods, smiling in-between a kiss. "So, that's a yes?"

"Yes." She laughs softly. "I'll marry you, Reiner."

Blinking away tears of joy he places his head on her shoulder, pushing himself into her.

Her drawn-out sigh at the feeling of him stretching her again made his fingers sink into her hips as a knee-jerk reaction of sheer bliss. He stops at the hilt, his mouth agape as he feels her tight insides clutching him and then releasing, over and over again.

"God, you feel so perfect…" He gruffs into her ear before returning his eyes to hers. "My gorgeous wife…"

"Not yet." She laughs.

He slides his tongue into her mouth, his smirk being the reply to her words. He painfully slowly drags his cock out and then back in, fucking her ever-so-slowly; her whines and deep sighs were music to his ears.

Their fingers lace into a hand-holding embrace as he continues his calm and drawn-out thrusts, his own guttural moans echoing with every push. Her eyes begin to water from how amazing it all felt, once again.

"Reiner, ah~ it's t-too good…"

"Nurgh…! y/n…" He then places his forehead against hers, that cheeky smirk returning. "Get used to it, baby. I'll be making you feel good anytime I can…"

She hums with glee at his words, noticing she loves it when he talks to her while he's buried deep within her core.

"S'so perfect." He continues wanting to shower her with as much affection and praise as humanly possible. "God, so perfect…"

Her slick wetness spread down his entire shaft and large balls, against her perfect backside as he continued his snail-paced drags in and out of her.

He notices a pattern in her spasms that happened last night, right before…

"Already?" He smirks. "Cum for me, gorgeous. Let me take you to heaven…"

Her eyes close and he cups her face, watching her being pushed closer to the edge of glory with each slow thrust. He hooks his arm around behind her back, propping them up with the other hand as he half picks her up, his movements getting firm as she gets closer to her release. He grinds his hips, his short pubic hair stimulating her external g-spot while his beautifully shaped dick relentlessly prods her internal one.

Clinging onto him for dear life, she snaps, her insides clenching down on him so hard all he could do was sort of rock back and forth, his mouth hanging open as he watches her relent at his mercy. "N'ahw, fuck… y/n…baby…" He whines as she orgasms around him. "Too good. You f-feel too damn good…"

He glances down, watching her tiny cunt splitting open at his girth, his self-control quickly leaving him as he returns to his blushing, blown-away state.

"Shit~" His voice breaks. "Holy shit~ baby oh… fuck, baby…"

She stares into the void as she comes back down to earth, everything feeling fuzzy as Reiner stops all of his movements in an attempt to regain some self-control.

His breathing quivered as he watches her come out from her haze, peppering kisses on her chest and neck. She can feel his solid dick pulsing within her as he tries to last longer.

After a few moments of pathetic kisses and whines, he lowers her back down and returns to his slow drags.

"I can't take it…" She runs her fingers through her own hair. "It feels too good, Reiner…"

He grunts loudly in response, picking up his pace and pounding into her now at a faster rate.

"Urgh, n'ah ~~ !" He calls out as he watches her perfect breasts bounce with his movements.

His hands grab her waist, pulling her down into his pounding hips with his rhythm, his large balls slapping off her ass loudly.

He slows to a stop with his eyes clenched shut, trying his damned hardest to keep his hot junk from erupting. He didn't want it to end. He never wanted this to end.

Her fingers graze over his scalp as he hangs his head, focusing on keeping his own bliss at bay.

"I can't… fuck…" He hisses.

"Baby it's okay…" She soothes with such a loving tone. "Cum for me, Reiner. I want to be full with you."

Holding her close with pleading eyes he returns his movements.

"I'm going… you're going to make me… again…" She breathes.

He snaps.

As her coil tightens around him once again, his own ecstasy is released.

"Nuaah ~!" He barks, tears stinging his eyes from how good it felt.

They both float up to the heavens together, swirling within the cosmic dance of lovers before slowly coming back down. As she comes around, he's showering her with sloppy kisses and pleading affirmations.

"I love you… that was so amazing… y/n, don't ever leave me…"

"I won't." She confirms. "I love you too…"

Holding her from behind he inhales her scent as she sleeps soundly next to him, their still naked forms together in a lover's embrace. His fingers run through her hair in a soothing ritual as he listens to her soft breathing, his eyes furrowed and desperate.

How could he ever go back to anything other than her? His life was now set. They would graduate and become soldiers. Of course, the Military Police was his choice but now he was going into the Scouts with his love. To keep her safe and close. He's going to marry her and pump her full of his children.

Everything and everyone else be damned. She's my everything…

"Reiner… Reiner!"

The large blonde hears his name being called from somewhere in the void as he is roused from a deep slumber. "y/n...?" He groans, eyes squinting at the bright light.

"What? No, fuckwad." Porco's face comes into view. "We're almost at the drop-off point. Time to wake up."

Reiner's heart sinks as he realises where he was and who he was with.

It wasn't y/n, that's for damn sure.

Last time he saw the love of his life, she was trying her damned hardest to kill him back in Shiganshina. Has it really been four years?

They say heartbreak gets easier with time, but the cruel hands that strip youth bare, only seemed to pour salt into his open wounds.

She will have been there when Eren launched his is attack in Liberio. But Reiner hadn't seen her.

Maybe she'd quit the military?

No. She wouldn't.

Maybe she was killed?

More doubtful. I hope not...

He reasoned he probably just didn't see her within all the chaos. Did she even manage to get out alive? With Marley's soldiers and guns -

"We've come in from the west side of the island to avoid being seen," Porco explains as Reiner groggily rubs his tired temples. "Seeing as though any fleets we've sent from the south haven't returned."

"Right." Reiner replies curtly, not really caring.

Porco seems to hesitate about something from his seat on the small ship they were upon.

Reiner notices this. "Before you ask, no. I won't talk about her."

Porco scowls. "You think I wanna know? I already know enough."

Reiner ignored him. He really wasn't in the mood to put up with his shit.

Their heads snap up when Pieck enters the room followed by Magath. "Alright ladies," Magath begins, holding a small pile of papers and reading them. "The plan is, Finger and Galliard will be infiltrating their military. Seems like they're having some problems with an uprising of sorts. A group called the "Jaegerists" is causing havoc within their chain of command. It's the perfect time to get your asses in there without raising suspicions. No one knows what the two of you look like in human form. So get your asses in gear."

"What about Reiner?" Porco frowns.

"We'll be keeping him as our trump card. Your transport to the wall is waiting for you with your new uniforms. Which means you have full permission to remove your armbands. Keep your wits about you - you can't raise suspicions until it's absolutely necessary. Are we clear?"

"Yes sir."

"Alright. Well let's get you onto the side-boat and away you two go."

Peick and Magath leave, Porco following behind them. Before he exits he turns to Reiner with a sneer.

"Don't worry, Reiner. When I see her, I'll take real good care of her. I promise."

Reiner's hands formed into fists and his entire body tenses as Porco chuckles, closing the door behind him.

That asshole...

Fire spreads across his skin at the thought of Porco seeing her never mind what else his dark mind had planned. But he still owes Porco. If it wasn't for his brothers death, he wouldn't even be alive right now.

"I'm a little nervous, if I had to speak my mind." Pieck mentions to Porco as they watch the larger ship get smaller and the formidable island of devils grow closer.

"Yeah, me too." His voice is barely a whisper as the dark shoreline looms in the distance. "We were totally unprepared and underestimated them back in Liberio. But we won't make that mistake again."

"Not just that..." Pieck's deep blue eyes close for a moment, trying to steadying her nervous breathing. "Look at what that place did to Reiner. He's so... haunted."

"Yeah." He nods. "I know."

The spray of the seafoam splays up and around them as they near the beach, the salt-tinged air dark as the clouds cover the moonlight in a thick blanket. The orange glow of the lantern that sat on the bottom of the wooden boat flickered within its glass casing, reflecting the restlessness Porco was feeling within himself.

"But, you've been here before, right? Four years ago. Don't be nervous, if you managed once you can do it again."

"I was with Zeke then." She hums, almost longing for his wisdom right about now.

"Hey, you're more than capable of thinking on your own feet. It's me who should be worrying."

"Just keep your cool and don't make any rash decisions." She warns him. "No losing your temper."

"I can promise I'll try."

A small laugh leaves her as the boat begins to rock more violently, reaching shallow water.

"Okay, we're here." The officer rowing announces, the thud of land welcome to them. "Your orders are to meet Jackson within the treeline. He's got your uniforms. You'll probably have to scale the wall in titan form."

"Sir." They chant in unison, getting to their feet.

As Porco's boots sink into the grainy sand he couldn't ignore how fast his heart was thudding. And not for the mission. I'm going to see her soon. In the flesh. The witch who's been haunting me for four damn years...

He knew in his heart she was alive and well, because he'd had another weird dream about her only two nights ago. The kind of dream he sometimes had when it felt so real, so vivid, there was no way it was only a dream.

They had been communicating. And he was more than ready to meet her; feeling it within his bones that she will recognise him. Not as a Warrior, but as Porco Galliard; the man who struggles with the loss of his brother. The man who hasn't revealed a single secret about Marley. Only prodding and probing to get to know her as much as possible.

He looks up at the clouded moon, the thought of her maybe looking at it at the same time sending flutters throughout his entirety.

Y/n focuses her attention on the partially hidden moon through her window as her blood boils and her fists clench. She then turns and stares into the dead eyes of her "best friend"

Her friend since childhood.

His eyes she knew long gone, the spark extinguished and replaced by an emptiness she could hardly bear gazing into anymore.

"What's happening to you, Eren?" She asks, eyes pleading and searching his for any sign of his old self. "You never smile anymore."

"There isn't much to smile about these days."

His tone was flat yet his words were sharp as they pierced into her heart. Venom spread throughout her chest at her now toxic friend's behest.

"Is it the memories? Is it the Titan's powers you hold? You have three inside of you now Eren, it can't be good for you."

"You don't know what's good for me." He replies with a dark glare, only visible by the lantern in her room, flames licking his face like the forked tongue of the devil.

"You would have been good for me. But I wasn't good enough for you, was I?"

Her eyes widen in surprise. "Wha-?"

"Back in Cadets. When I told you how I felt. And you told me you're focusing on training. Then in a heartbeat, you were with him. Well, you certainly made the right decision there, didn't you?"

"Don't." Her tone is a warning.

"Don't what? You think you know what's good for me, you don't even know what's good for you. Opening your legs for someone who helped kill thousands of - "

Smack.

His head stays in its new position for a few seconds as he registers the stinging slap she'd just whacked full force upon his cheek.

Her chest heaves. Tears sting cruelly at her eyes, yet nothing compared to the crushing pain upon her chest.

"Nothing. Nothing hurts more than what you've become." She hisses with malice. "Sort yourself out, Jaeger."

It's her room, but she's so infuriated she goes to storms out, to leave him alone in her quarters.

But his hand clasps around her wrist, yanking her harshly into his chest.

"Give yourself to me." He commands. "I know you felt the same at some point. Maybe you still do."

His heavy-lidded eyes gazing down at her with his reddening cheek from the slap was certainly a sight to see. She could feel the power within him, just waiting to unleash upon her.

It had been four years since she'd shared her body with someone, and it was hard to admit to herself, but Eren was extremely handsome, her body already burning for him as his warm strong body presses against her.

[ Give yourself to Eren. (Same ending, different path) ]

[ Reject his advances, continue below. ]

"No. Never." She whispers. "Especially not now."

Dejected, he doesn't move as she tears herself away from his embrace, leaving the room.

As she power walks down the hallway, she refuses to allow herself to cry, furiously blinking back her tears.

"Hey, y/n did you manage to convince Armin to... What's wrong?" Jean asks as he steps out of his room.

"Nothing." She seethes, barging by him. "Just the death of a friend."

Jean blinks after her for a moment, perplexed. Then he sees Eren step out of her room.

"For the love of - " Jean sighs in annoyance, before starting his walk towards the sulking figure that was now Eren. "Hey, shithead. Are you gonna stop pissing off your friends or what? Do you want to die alone?"

Eren simply glanced his way before shrugging. "Makes no difference in the end."

Jean's confusion is worsened as he watches Eren skulk back towards his room.

"I don't even know why they let you out of that cell!" Jean called after him. "You've lost your damn mind. ...Or more than you already had."

Eren shoots him the middle finger without looking back, then replacing his hand back into his pocket.

"...Asshole." Jean hisses before returning to where he was going.

Dawn was just beginning to peep over the horizon when Porco and Pieck arrived at the barracks in their uniform. Although nervous at first, they soon relaxed when they noticed not one person shot them a look of unfamiliarity.

"God their military really has gone to shit," Porco mutters quietly as they just waltz into the barracks without even a second look from the two half-asleep guards at the entrance.

"Must be bad." Pieck replies as the freshly polished floor assaults her nose, resulting in a cute, squeaky sneeze.

"Bless you."

They turn to their left to see Soldier coming out of an adjacent room.

"Thank you." Pieck smiles with an awkward wave.

"Don't mention it." Jean replies. "I've not seen you two before, you been transferred?"

Porco panics, face starting to flush red.

"Yeah, all the way from Stohess. It's good to be back here though." Pieck answers quickly, relying on her briefing from Magath.

Porco breathes a sigh of relief.

"Huh, they sent you two down a bit late huh? But eh, everything has gone to shit these days so I can't say I'm not surprised."

"Yeah, it's a disgrace and a damn shame." Porco replies. "But we gotta go. Duty calls."

Jean nods as he continues his way out of the building.

"That was a close one. Way to go, Pieck." Porco celebrates.

"We have to be careful." Pieck frowns, her worry now evident. "I saw him four years ago. He's part of the Levi Squad. Which means..."

She's here. His heart almost jumps out of his chest, causing him to stop in his tracks, orbs wide.

"Porco?"

"S-sorry. Just, I know Ackerman is one of the ones we gotta be extra careful around."

"Exactly. We should split up. And don't let panic get the better of you. Stay calm and remember our briefing."
