#so why is it suddenly ok if it's a 'scary' reptile

[melodraca]

I really wish people would extend the courtesy of the 'animal death' trigger tag to animals that aren't just cute, charismatic mammals

Pout - Chaewon

Y/n POV

"Damn, Chaewon is breathing quite heavily there," I said as I look from afar as Chaewon and the host of the show 'Fearless Kkura' Sakura filming along with the animals we don't see every day.

"I kinda feel like she is not breathing anymore," Noona said as I look at Chaewon who froze as the man who takes care of the reptiles put the snake on her arm.

I snickered at Noona just being the savage manager she is. Chaewon's manager has just nothing on her list to be scared of, but the girl she is managing has a lot on her list.

"Say, today's episode is about reptiles right?" I asked and Noona hummed in response.

"Yes, why? Want to get scales and poison?" Noona asked.

"Sheesh, calm your nerves down noona. I think I know why Chaewon is getting bratty these days," I said and noona just looked at me with a death glare.

"Shut up kid. See that snake? I think it needs a year's worth of food," I can feel the venom in noona's words as she gives me shivers.

"Damn, I'm sorry ok?" I just stopped as my thinking said that noona is not in a great mood today.

"Good to see that you know that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed kid," Noona said and crossed her arms.

I just chuckled and thanked my thoughts for preventing a disaster with Chaewon's manager.

"20 Minutes break everyone!" The producer of the show shouted granting a smile from the two members of Le Sserafim.

The two girls skips their way in my direction and Sakura went to her manager while Chaewon

"Y/nnie!"

Went to me, crushing me in her big hug.

"Chaechae, how is the filming so far?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around her small frame.

"It was scary! It was my first time seeing those types of animals," Chaewon said in a shaky voice.

"Don't worry Chae, at least you faced your fears right?" I said to brighten her mood.

"I mean yeah? I did face my fears," Chaewon muttered in realization.

"Well, you are already fearless. I mean you are already Fearless since you sang your debut song," I joked which made Chaewon punch my side softly.

"Aish, are you old? Stop making jokes like that ahjussi," Chaewon said and parted herself from me. I then see her smirking as I rolled my eyes.

"Shut it radish! Don't call me an-," I was about to answer Chaewon when my phone rang.

I excused myself and I accepted the call. The person who was calling me was Eunchae, Le Sserafim's youngest member.

°

--- call ---

"Oppa! Music Bank duties!"

"Is it time already?"

"Yup! Stop being lovey-dovey with Chaewon unnie! Look at me, a child who is working hard but being neglected by her manager. Huhuhu~,"

"Aigoo, look at you being overdramatic again,"

"Bleh~ you can't stop me. I can't stop me, can't stop me. Oh woah oh woah,"

"Singing to your sunbaenim's song, alrighty. Oh my, what did you eat!? You are energetic today,"

"For breakfast? Eggs and bacon! Also, it's tasty! The company canteen now knows how to season their food. Let's celebrate!"

"Yah! *Laugh* You are so savage. Ok, I will pick you up in a jiffy alright?"

"Ne oppa~ see you!"

--- call end ---

°

I put my phone in my pocket and suddenly, an arm wraps around me. Looking at the person, a radish girl buries her head into my arm.

"Sup Chae," I said and stroked her hair.

"Who called?" Chaewon asked.

"Our maknae calling me to fetch her and bring her to her job," I said and Chaewon looked at me with her fluffy cheeks.

"Oh right, Music Bank," Chaewon said as I nod.

"Yep, got that one right. Anyways, see you later love," I said and pecked Chaewon's lips.

"Are you going to the dorms later?" Chaewon asked me.

"Yep, I think I will also bring y'all dinner," I said and grabbed my coat.

"Ok then, bye Y/nnie~," Chaewon said and waved.

"Love you too cheese ball," I said and left the building to get back to my managerial duties.

________________

Y/n POV

The filming of Music Bank is now over and as always, Eunchae is looking cute as ever. As I am outside of Eunchae's room, a girl ran into me and greeted me.

"Hey hey hey," Bae from Nmixx greeted me.

"Would you look at that, it's the Bae Jinsol~," I said as Bae just giggled at me.

"How are you cousin?" I asked and Bae just shrugged.

"Nothing new, going in promotions," Bae answered.

"Love me like this huh?" I said.

"Yup! Say, you want to dance?" Bae suddenly said which made me flinch.

"Oh hell nah! The song of y'all is good, no question about that, but me? Dancing? No thank you," I said which made Bae giggle.

"Geez, no need to be aggressive Y/n-ah," Bae laughed at me as I scoff at the girl.

"Yeah laugh all you want, anyways, where are your members?" I asked and Bae just shrugged again.

"In our room," Bae said.

"And you're here because?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Because you said you are managing Eunchae and she is the host of this show. Figures that you are here so here we are!" Bae said to which I nodded.

"Well okay," I just answered.

"Now that's that, you want some tea?" Bae asked.

"Shoot. I want some topics," I said.

"Did you know that our Sullyoon has a crush on you?" Bae said which made me choke on my saliva.

"*cough* Yah! How is that a tea?" I asked.

"Dunno, just want to say that to you," Bae said which made me sigh.

"Yah, you know that I'm dating Chaewon right? Tell her that friends would be okay. I have the love of my life," I said to Bae.

"Gosh, you are such a wimp for love cousin, anyways message relayed! I will go now!" Bae said.

"Alright! Come here," I said and Bae and I hugged shortly.

"Good luck with your group okay?" I said.

"Yep! Bye Y/n-ah!" Bae said as she walks away.

I just looked at her and suddenly, the door to Eunchae's room unlocked and a potato girl pops her head out.

"Who you talking to oppa?" Eunchae asked.

"Bae," I answered and Eunchae nodded.

"Your cousin right?" Eunchae asked and again, I nodded.

"Yup! Are you finished changing?" My turn to ask her and she nodded.

"It's all in the bag oppa!" Eunchae said with her hyper energy.

"Then cool. What do you want for dinner?"

_________________

Y/n POV

Right now, the girls and I are huddled inside their dorm, around the variety of food that I bought them. The girls are casually munching while I'm looking at my laptop to arrange paperwork.

Just as I thought that the girls will mind their own business eating, a certain radish was looking at me while chewing kimchi inside her mouth.

Looking at my laptop, I felt a tap making me look at the one who grabbed my attention and suddenly, an egg roll is on par with my mouth.

"What is it, Chae?" I asked and Chaewon just moved the chopsticks in front of my face.

"Eat," Chaewon said.

I opened my mouth and let the savory taste of the egg cover my taste buds. I hummed and looked at Chaewon whose smile is getting bigger as seconds pass by.

"Is it delicious?" Chaewon asked as she begins to poke my inflated cheeks.

I nodded and Chaewon giggled and continued to eat with occasionally feeding me.

I just let her be as I know that Chaewon was just looking for me, one thing about Chaewon is, she is thoughtful of the people she loves.

Also, fighting Chaewon is a big no-no. She can be lovely and cute with her smile, but it's the opposite when she is angry.

The girls finished their food and now, they are just talking about random things, until Eunchae tells something for the group.

"Chaewon unnie," Eunchae called her unnie as Chaewon looked at the younger girl happily.

"Yes, Manchae? What is it?" Chaewon answered.

"Did you know that Sullyoon unnie has a crush on Y/n?" Eunchae said which made me widen my eyes at the cheeky maknae.

"Sullyoon? Where did you get that?" Chaewon asked.

"I heard Y/n oppa and Bae unnie talking," Eunchae grinned at me.

"Don't be nosy maknae," Chaewon said to Eunchae before looking at me.

"And you mister! Don't dare to love another girl besides me. Got it?" Chaewon said as I put my laptop aside and scooted closer to the girl.

"Got it, Chae got it," I giggled as Chaewon leans her head on my shoulder.

"So that's how Chaewon unnie gets jealous," Kazuha suddenly said

"You have only seen it once Zuha, wait for more," Kkura noona warned the younger girl which made me laugh.

"Are you all seriously going to talk about me? I'm here," Chaewon said.

"Nah~ we won't stop," Yunjin said in her mighty loud voice.

"Yah yah yah. I'm the leader and-,"

"You should listen to me blah blah," Kkura noona cuts Chaewon which made me giggle inside.

As I'm hugging Chaewon, I can feel her fists shaking up making me chuckle a little more.

"Don't be angry babe, I'm here," I whispered to Chaewon which seems to work as she begins to calm down.

I pecked Chaewon's fluffy cheeks as she snuggled at me.

"What do you think about Sullyoon then Y/n?" Yunjin asked.

"Sullyoon? Well, I think she's nice and friendly. That's about it," I said and Chaewon looked at me sternly this time.

"So is she cute?" Chaewon asked me.

"What?"

"Is. She. Cute?" Chaewon asked again.

"Yes?" I said nervously.

"Dumb ways to die~," Kkura noona sang as I glare at the older girl.

"So many dumb ways to die~," Yunjin followed while stifling her laugh.

I glared at them and then looked at my girlfriend who is already pouting at me.

"Hey hey, I was just telling about Sullyoon being cute alright? That doesn't mean that I like her the same way I love you," I said and Chaewon nodded and buried her head into my chest.

I caressed the back of Chaewon's head and the other girls in the room just silently laughed at me as I squinted my eyes at them.

"You will not leave me right?" Chaewon muttered in our hug.

"Of course baby. You are precious to me and you will be my forever," I said to Chaewon making the girl squeal.

The other girls begin to gawk at Chaewon and me, making my eyes roll at them but suddenly, Chaewon freed herself from my hug.

"I'm keeping this anger of mine but thanks to Y/n, I'm calm. Now let your leader-nim punish you all. Shall we start?" Chaewon sad and suddenly, the other members shuffled and left the room immediately.

I engulf Chaewon in a big hug again to restrain the angered radish girl, to calm her down, again.

But it seems like Chaewon has superhuman strength today as she pecked my lips and went to chase her members.

I just shook my head and stifled a laugh.

Sighing, I stand up and dusted my clothes and as soon as I opened the door, squealing and screaming greeted me as Chaewon hunts them like a prey.

Going to Chaewon, I dragged her to her room making the other Fimmies celebrate.

Making her seat on her bed, Chaewon pouted and again, her squishy cheeks is seen again.

Sitting beside her, Chaewon leaned her head to my shoulder, but I faced her and gives her kisses, making her giggle cutely.

"Calm down babe," I said and giggled and Chaewon just smiles widely and lay down on the softness of her bed.

I soon followed her actions and immediately, Chaewon latched at me making me hum as she snuggle.

Staying in our position, a few minutes later, a soft snore can be heard and I looked at my Chaewon knocked out in a wind. Giggling at Chaewon, I then caressed her cheeks and soon, following her to dreamland.

Snakes and Scandals (Pt.1)

-------------------------

Virgil Blanche hated a lot of things, that was a given. He was, after all, an extremely poor twenty-two year old man living in the slums of a high-end empire city. Every day he would sit through nearly ten hours of abuse from costumers who were raised to think they were better than everyone else, and even the ones who weren't born rich were corrupted very quickly.

"Excuse me? Is this still eligible for a return? I tried at another store and they rejected me but I only bought it a few days ago," Virgil merely sighed at the hat and scarf clad man in front of him.

"If you bought it less than two months ago its eligible for return, if someone told you it wasn't you can file a complaint," Virgil never spoke very clearly, but he appreciated the man at least pretending to understand what he was saying.

"Thank you," it was at this point Virgil seemed to register that the man was speaking with a slight russian accent.

"Have a nice day," Virgil said in a monotone voice.

The day continued as all days working in customer service usually did, of course, had Virgil checked his calendar, maybe he would've realized that it was National Frame a Retailer For Flirting With You day. He didn't have much time to react, whoever the girl who'd used him as a cheating scapegoat was, she was very quiet, and her boyfriend was very fast.

"You tryna make her look dumb? Huh? Is that what you want?" Virgil tried to protest but ended up with a faceful of knuckles instead.

He should've known it wouldn't end well for him, at least he wasnt dead, but now he had a bloody face and was sitting in the managers office, waiting to hear his fate.

"So you punched him?" Virgil's boss was very stereotypical, blonde, bob-cut, light brown eyes, and Virgil knew she hated him. She always acted excited about his new piercings or tattoos, and of course she congratulated him when she found out he'd finally managed to afford top surgery after saving up since age fourteen. But he could tell it was all fake. He wasn't social enough for customer service, after all.

"In self defense, only after he broke my nose," Virgil responded. His manager pursed her lips together, glaring slightly from behind her glasses.

"And you are aware they intended to sue, yes?" Virgil gritted his teeth,of course they were, after all, why attack a store employee if you didn't want to sue them, or, at least, if you didn't want free starbucks every time you showed up.

"No, I wasn't, because they attacked me first," Virgil said calmly.

"I'm sorry Virgil but I'm going to have to fire you," there was no hiding the look of pure glee on the managers face as she delivered the news.

Virgil merely set his name tag on the table and left, all the while clutching his face. It burned, badly, some people needed to go to the gym less.

"You alright dude?" Virgil moved his hand to look at the man in front of him. Tall, skinny, with a mustache on his face and a white streak in his hair. The man had a worried look on his face, though his eyes conveyed a vague crazed look.

"Yeah, sure," Virgil said. He was about to walk away when the taller man grabbed his arm.

"Come with me, I'll help clean you up," Virgil was honestly to tired to argue, so instead he merely followed.

"Roman! I think I found you a new model! A little bruised up but I think he'll be ok soon enough!" Virgil had stopped listening after 'model'.

"Wait wait wait wait wait- I am definitely not a model-" Virgil tried to shrink in on himself.

"Well of course you arent yet! Oh Remus you life saver look at him! He's brilliant!" A boy who looked similar to the one with the mustache rushed out from behind a pillar, planting a kiss on the receptionists cheek as he ran.

Remus smiled, "I'll go get some ice packs and bandages, you two can talk," he said, running off.

"Roman Prince-Duke, head of Rome Fashion Company," Roman said, holding a hand out.

"Virgil Blanche, head of confused and worried emotions company," Virgil said, Roman let out a laugh.

"So what happened? If you're comfortable sharing that is," Roman said, gesturing to Virgil's face.

"Girl got her boyfriend to attack me at work for the sake of coupons," Virgil said, shrugging.

"Oh dear. . ." Roman said, his face falling slightly.

A few minutes later Virgil was sitting on a bench with ice pressed against his face and Roman listening intently as the receptionist told him what he should do.

"Gods Lolo you're so cute when you're being smart," Roman said, smiling and leaning his elbow on his knee, head pressed against his hand. The receptionist's face flushed with color.

Virgil honestly wasn't sure how calling him a model wasn't a joke, yet here he was sitting in the lobby waiting for Roman.

"Alright Virgil! Let's get you ready for your first shoot shall we?" Roman brought Virgil up by the hand, spinning him slightly before guiding him to another room.

"Lucky for you we have plenty of outfits in your size," Roman said.

"Mention my height and the fabric scissors might find their way up your nose," Virgil growled. Being 4'8 never exactly helped his case, he didn't normally get aggressive easily but it was a bit touchy for him.

"Oh dont worry, I learned my lesson with Lo on our first date," Roman said.

An hour or so later Virgil was dressed in a purple sleeveless top with black lace along the neckline, a black corset, ruffled black skirts, and black boots with heels. It felt, nice, and Virgil wasnt sure why. Normally he hated the way he looked in everything, but for once in his life he felt like royalty.

"Remy! I've got a new model for you!" Roman said as they entered another room with all manner of different sets and cameras set up.

A man with a leather jacket and sunglasses popped out from behind one, jaw dropping slightly "Roman you SAINT! Where'd you find him?!" Remy said, circling Virgil and looking him up and down.

"That credit goes to Remus, speaking of which, I've got business to attend to, you boys have fun," Roman said, turning on his heel to leave, the nearly floor length skirt of his outfit sweeping behind him.

"Alright babes you look like you're about to pass out right now so let's take a little break m'kay?" Remy walked with Virgil to a room that seemed primarily composed of bean bags.

They sat there for a while, Remy asking him questions and telling him his own stories. Before suddenly he got up and held a hand out for him. Virgil took it and allowed himself to be lead to a set covered in giant mushrooms and flowers. Remy spent a few minutes posting him, bringing out a few props for him to prop his arms on.

"Now just relax and give me a smile, you look like you're good at subtle, let's try some of those first," said Remy from behind the camera.

Virgil started out the shoot wishing it would be over already, but by the end he couldnt seem to stop looking at his own reflection in the camera lens.

"Oh Jan's going to lose it when he sees these!" Roman said, looking through the pictures from his phone.

"Who's Jan?-" Virgil said, tilting his head slightly.

"Oh you probably know him as Dimitri, he's a rival of mine," Roman handed Virgil a magazine, one scan of the front cover and Virgil recognized the man from a week ago, he was wearing the same hat and scarf as before. He read the caption above it. "Dimitri Gabriel to release new line inspired by endangered reptile species, all proceeds to go to preservation funding, no real scales used," he handed the article back to Roman.

"I've seen that guy, he was returning something the day I got fired," Virgil said.

"Oh even better! He'll recognize you!" Said Roman.

"Wait where are these even going?" Virgil said.

"My stylegram, you dont seem like the type who likes runways, so Remus and I have decided you'll be a social media model," Roman said.

"Well- guess I better make my own account then," Virgil said, pulling out his own phone.

It was only a few minutes before the comments flooded in, he recognized Janus' face, though his handle still conveyed his name as Dimitri. His face flushed red at the compliments. He wasn't quite sure what it was, but the feeling that Janus was impressed by his looks gave him an intense sensation of joy.

Hawkodile and Eaglator animal logic theorys

All of thease where posted on my unikitty amino account a while ago and all at separate times, so there might be a lot of parts where you can tell one post ended and another began)

( little disclaimer some of what thease might not be exactly correct, so don't take them as complete 100%facts unless you've cheaked and confirmed, sense I don't have a pet hawk or pet eagle, I have pet chikens, and most of thease are based off of observing and taking care of those chikens)

So fun fact, if you pet a bird ( like a hawk or eagle) or a reptile ( like a crocodile or alligator ) on the chest, it will just zone out, like they just totaly phase out and sometimes fall asleep,

While if you touch a bird or reptile in the back of the head they will either panic, flip out, or try to attak, this is because in bird language sometimes a bird will either peack at or rip out the feathers on the back of the head to assert dominance or prove they are the stronger bird, while with reptiles that's where something would try to attak or grab them,

So would this logic apply to hawkodile and Eaglator sense both of them are part bird part reptile, ?

I feel like it possibly would apply to the two but this is a cartoon, so ya never know.

So, irl I have pet chikens, and recently I found out out birds actally go for the red lazer more than cats do, so

My theory is that Eaglator and hawkodile have this bird instinct and if you shine a lazer pointer near them, they will chase it and literally won't stop untill you turn it off, seriously they focus on it more than a cat,

So like, imagine this senario.

Dr fox is doing a presentation sorta thingy, and shines a lazer, suddenly bam ! Hawkodile is after the lazer with no hesitation he just flings himself at it, ( much like my chikens do, trust me it is hilarious watching a chiken drift)

Idk why but I just had to say this because the mental immages of eaglator and hawkodile chasing lazer pointers is pretty funny, to me anyway,

So that's my animal logic theory !

( on to more theorys !)

Alrighty so, this kinda ties in with the first animal logic theory of if you pet a bird or reptile on the chest, but this only applys to birds as far as I know,

So, if you hold a bird and it really likes you, or if the bird is super relaxed, they do this thing I call " the pancake" where they will do this thing where they completely and full on relax, their feathers poof a little in a happy poof way, and they full on just flop, like, they just happy flop and sometimes start doing happy trills,

And honestly I think this would be adorable and funny to see hawkdoile and Eaglator do " the pancake"

I also wonder, do hawkodile and Eaglator have the equivalent of a happy trill ? Wich is another bird thing ( I know a lot about birds and not much about reptiles so a lot of thease are bird related) where basically, if they are supper happy or relaxed, they make a certain sound,

Now for Eaglator and hawkodile it might sound a little scary sense it might be combined with the hiss of their crocodile and alligator sides, basically equalling what the happy trill of a dinosaur might have sounded like,

but sense hawkodile seems to have the vocal's of a hawk shown by his hawk battle cries, and has never made a crocodile noise, he could do a happy birb trill that actally just strait up sounds like a birb

Yup ! I still have more birb facts, thease one's are like, the most ovious out of all of them though

So, one main thing about birds, both male and female, dosnt matter the gender of the bird this just happens,

Once every fiew months, ( if the bird is extra big or floofy this seems to happen more often ) (chiken wise anyway)

Birds will molt, meaning a bunch of their feathers just fall out at once so new ones can grow in, causing the bird to look kinda goofy and have some bald spots for a while,

During molting it can also make the bird kinda tired, wich is bad if the bird isn't feeling well while this is happening, so yeah occasionally molting can be a problem but it's usually fine and harmless, and I think it lasts at least a week at most two weeks,

It's also normal for reptiles to shead, especially lizards, so hawk and eagle might also shed some scales, but I don't think it looks as patchy as birds molting

But anyway if this does apply to hawkodile, eaglator, and any next gen kids, than there's probably some awkward times of the month where one of them just has large bald spots in random locations and is tired and grumpy for at least a week,

Second thingy ! ( also chiken related, I love my chikens and spend a lot of time with them ok ?)

So, birds can't sweat, they just cant, same for lizards I think, but more importantly birds can't sweat at all, and as all who know about the basics of humans, sweat is used to cool down when your too hot,

Well birds ( and other animals) make up for this by panting, like, when their too hot birds just open the beack and start panting like crazy,

This also causes their voice to be a little more dry sounding at times,

or in hawkodile or eaglator's case they would probably sound like they had a sore throat,

Once again I know thease are weird, but just like the lazer pointer and the petting animal logic posts, they could possibly be funny for a comic or oneshot.

Anyway so !

We all know that when hawkodile and eaglator's where chick's and pullets / kids and teens, they had hair, but now that their adults hawkodile dosnt seem to have any hair and Eaglator got spikes, well I have a bird fact that can explain this ! It also kinda fits with my molting theory.

So, when birds are young they have down instead of feathers, basically they're all floofy poof, it's also usually lighter or darker than their real feather colour depending on the bird,

and I think hawkodile and eaglator's hair is actally the fluffy child down, meaning the hair lasted untill they where young adults, but than once they where fully grown it just fell out,

for hawkodile his child hair/down was replaced by shorter adult feathers,

And for Eaglator his child hair/down was replaced with the 3 spines on the back of his head

This would explain why Eaglator no longer has that mowhawk, and why hawkodile no longer has hair.

Another theory,

Sense Eaglator and hawkodile are part croccodile / alligator , they could possibly be cold blooded, or at least have slight problems regulating body temperature sense hawkodile seems to be fine in winter, not even needing a coat, but just for the animal logic part,

Basically if it's too cold, a cold blooded creature will just completely shut off, not dead, just asleep for a very long time, and this could possibly apply to eaglator, like, if he gets too cold he could just pretty much faint.

Related to how thease guys eat,

So in some episodes we've seen hawkodile can eat pretty much anything, and possibly has the digestive system of a crocodile, implying that hawkodile can survive without any food for at least a month, and ends up snapping at and eating anything he considers to be food, even if the thing littorally isn't edible,

But even if it is possible that Eaglator has an alligators digestive system, he could have ended up with a birds digestive system,

Meaning he would have to be pretty carefull of what he ate, otherwise he could get serieous digestion issues, he would have to keep his vitamin intake at a higher level than hawkodile would inorder to avoid getting certain diseases, and would have to eat a bit extra, weather that means a 4th meal or carrying snacks with him everywhere, in order to keep himself from getting hungry,

Birds digestive systems are defiantly more fragile than crocodile digestive systems as far as I'm aware,

(Anyway that's all I got for now, and feel free to correct me on anything in here that you know for a fact is wrong so I can fix it ^-^))

Chapter 29

"NO I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU DUMBASS!"

Her body trembled with rage as she yelled the admission. He stepped back in shock.

"WAIT YOU LIKE ME??"

"OF COURSE I DO!"

"WOW... THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE! I DUNNO WHAT TO SAY!"

"MAYBE WE SHOULD STOP YELLING!"

"YEAH MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT! YOU GO FIRST"

"NO I WANT THE LAST WORD!"

"Geez ok fine" he held up his hands in surrender. Shoppers were eyeing them with resentment for them and their shouting match. Acacia went back to staring at the floor, embarrassed by how much she'd said. Mammon thought about how to proceed.

"I didn't even consider that you liked me." He admitted.

"Don't give me that, you obviously want me to like you." She grumbled. Mammon realized with a start that he'd never thought about it.

"I haven't been doing anything on purpose, if you fall for the charm and wit of the incredible Mammon then that just can't be helped." Acacia rolled her eyes as he praised himself, puffing his chest out slightly. In a way he was right, who could resist such a lovable dumbass.

"So...do you like me too? Or am I just making a fool of myself?" She asked quietly. "Take your time" she added when he didn't answer right away, she wanted him to be sure.

Mammon thought about it. He always had fun when Acacia was around, she was nice but not in a pitying way. She understood him better than a lot of people too, she had been easy to talk to since the day he met her. Did he like her? Of course he did.

That shocked him. There was no self doubt or denial, he didn't try to play it off as a faze of a simple crush like he did with MC. He genuinely, earnestly liked Acacia, and for the first time he didn't feel ashamed of feeling like it.

He liked her, it was just a fact, like the sky was blue or Lucifers a prick. Simple, basic, how long had he known this for it to feel so normal?

"Yes" he said without shame. "I do like you." He nodded to himself, it felt good to say. Acacia practically choked. This ultimate tsundere just admitting feelings was wild. And worse, she realized,  she still had to deny him.

"I see…" she said slowly. "I think it might have been easier if you'd said no." She laughed dryly. Mammon didn't understand.

"But...wait if we both feel the same way then this shouldn't be complicated right?" He asked.

"No...it is complicated."

"Why? What am I missing?"

"MC"

Suddenly Mammon was hit with a wave of reality. For just a few moments he had actually forgotten his feelings for MC. Now that he remembered he couldn't help but wonder…

"How did you know I liked them?" He asked. She laughed loudly.

"Oh oh honey...it was obvious!" Mammon's cheeks colored.

"Hey it wasn't that obvious."

"Oh yeah it was!"

"Whatever." There was a comfortable silence as they still stood in the middle of the eisle, he sighed contentedly.

"See? This isn't complicated." He said softly. Why couldn't they just have this all the time? This simple completeness, but her face fell.

"No...Mammon you really liked MC and…" she took a step back. "I won't be your second choice," she leveled him with a stare far more confrontational than she usually was. A stare that eerily resembled MCs, but it was definitely her resolve behind her eyes. He stopped breathing for a moment as he realized what she must think. How she must see his feelings.

"No! Of course not, I…" he closed his eyes looking for the words, but they just weren't there. She took it as an admission of guilt.

"It's ok Mammon... we'll both get over it, I think we should just try and get some space for a while." And with that she left before he could convince her to stay.

0That night the sun was red as it set on the town seven devils had taken refuge in. It burned the horizon like a cigarette, leaving the land scorching hues of violet and amber.

Two siblings watched this phenomenon from opposite sides of a very run down house. One on a rooftop, a boa constrictor around their shoulders. The other on the front steps, a pitbulls head lying in her lap. Both so similar and so close, yet so distant in mind and process.

Acacia stroked Chester's head softly as she mulled over her decision. She'd ran out of tears and now only emptiness remained as she stared at the dimming orange sky. She was so lost in thought she almost didn't notice the note that slipped under the door beside her.

0MC let the large reptile slither through their hair as they tried not to think of real things. Their slim hands were calloused from the projects they worked on, and they carefully placed cards into card houses on the flat section of roof. An angel approached so slowly behind them they almost didn't hear.

0Acacia took the small note quizzically, who would be writing to her instead of just talking? Opening it she saw that the note  was written in very tidy ink, but there were barely visible eraser marks underneath that gave away the multiple pencil attempts it took to reach the final product.

0MC realized the presence they were sensing and carefully watched the approaching figure cloaked in white out of the corner of their eye. Hands never straying from their cards. The snake on their person looked scary and perhaps it would be intimidating enough to dissuade the intruder. Even if in reality it was more like owning a paperweight than a pet.

0Scanning the page Acacia read:

Acacia,

I know I didn't explain myself earlier, that's because I had too much trouble putting it into words. I decided to take your advice and "take my time". This is what I came up with.

I did like MC, really I did, but the way I feel about you is different. MC was nice to me and that blew my mind so much that I developed feelings for them just based on that. That sounds bad but it's really not a big deal, I don't need kindness from anyone cause I'm great.

Back to the point, you aren't just nice. You're also helpful and generous and always understanding even if I'm just making a mess of things. You're really different but you still get me more than anyone I've ever met.

The bottom line is, I like who I am when I'm with you.

I hope you'll reconsider things between us. I want you to know that you're in no way my second choice, you're the person I never thought I'd find. The one so great you couldn't be real, so I settled for MC.

Sincerely, Mammon

0MC stood so quickly the angel stumbled backwards from the shock. He tripped on the uneven roof and fell with a thud to the shingles.

"Luke?" MCs voice was hopeful.

"What are you trying to do, scare me to death?" He adjusted his hat and brushed himself off as he stood once more.

"Sorry" MC spoke quietly as they helped him up.

"I've come…" he hesitated before nodding to himself. "I've come to help you...and the others I guess" MC immediately knelt down and gave the boyish angel a tight hug. "Eek!" He squeeked, flustered.

"Thank you Luke, you have no idea how much we need you." They released him from their hold but stayed on their knees to be eye level with the small helper.

"You're welcome." He blushed at the praise, "but if Michael finds out I'm blaming you guys." He said to save face. MC just chuckled, maybe there was hope after all.

Bored (Part 2)

Part 1 Part 3 Part 4

Trigger Warning: mentions of a panic attack

Virgil sighed as he wandered through the mindspace, his hands in his pockets and a small frown on his face.

He was trying to think of something to do because he felt so bored. He'd tried scrolling through social media and listening to music but he didn't feel particularly interested in it after a few minutes.

He had no idea what he wanted to do but he knew he wanted to do something.

He'd taken a walk through the mindspace in the hope it would help but he still felt bored out of his mind.

He normally would go bother Logan but, after what happened the week before, he wasn't allowed to.

He suddenly had a thought. He knew Roman was somewhere in the imagination so maybe he'd go bother him?

Virgil walked towards the imagination and grinned as he walked through a large pair of ornate gates. They were so obviously something Roman would think up to be the entrance to the imagination.

Virgil looked around and saw Roman had conjured up a fairytale like village with a large castle overlooking it on a hill on the outskirts.

On the opposite side of the village was a large forest and Virgil set off towards that.

He walked into the forest and felt the sudden urge to climb one of the trees. Considering he'd been completely bored up until that moment he gave into the urge and began to climb.

Virgil got to almost the very top and looked around in awe as he realised the tree he'd chosen to climb towered above all the rest and he had a spectacular view of everything.

He sat on a sturdy branch and looked around with a smile, Roman had created quite a beautiful looking world.

He inhaled deeply and shut his eyes, letting the sounds of the forest and the distant village wash over him.

He was feeling incredibly relaxed which was saying something considering he was the embodiment of anxiety.

The calmness eventually had to come to an end though and Virgils eyes immediately shot open in alarm when the tree he was in suddenly shuddered.

"What the...." he muttered to himself and was cut off by a terrifying noise that made him think of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park.

He clung to his now violently shaking tree and looked around for the source of the roar.

Moving through the trees, it's head visible above the canopy, was an enormous black dragonlike creature.

It was heading directly towards Virgils tree and the anxious trait was frozen in fear as it drew closer.

It didn't seem to notice him and walked right past but it's shoulder crashed into the tree and Virgil lost his footing and fell.

His hands immediately grabbed for whatever was in reach and he found himself clinging to the back of this enormous reptile.

Virgil found a sort of purchase on one of the scales with his feet so he didn't exhaust his arms.

He was shaking and as the realisation of what was happening hit him he felt his throat close up and he began to have a panic attack.

He was stuck, clinging to an enormous dragon thing, in the imagination and he had no way of getting down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roman was just walking out of the castle when he heard the familiar roar of a dragon-rex.

He'd accidentally created them after Virgil had forced him to watch the Jurassic Park films with him and Logan.

He immediately drew his sword and began to run to the source, hoping to head it off before it made it to the village.

He came to a halt as he spotted the huge black scaled creature and took a deep breath before shouting "Hey! Down here you oversized lizard!"

The creature stopped and turned its head sharply at his yell, letting out an enraged roar as it's eyes locked onto him.

Roman ran round it, towards the forest where it would be away from the village and where he could use the trees to his advantage.

The dragon-rex stomped after him, snarling and roaring the entire time.

Roman darted amongst the trees and climbed up one of them like a squirrel on too much caffeine.

The large dragon-rex didn't notice him in the tree and he prepared himself to lunge at it with his sword but a flash of purple caught his eye and he let out a startled yelp.

"Virgil?"

The trait in question opened his eyes which were screwed shut out of fear, and stared at Roman in shock.

"Roman? Holy shit! Roman! Help!" Virgil shrieked after realising he wasn't hallucinating.

Roman didn't get a chance to respond as the dragon-rex seemed to have heard Virgils voice and started shaking its head from side to side.

Virgil let out a string of curses in a rather high voice as he was almost shaken off by it's movement.

Roman backed up against the trunk of the tree he was in and took a deep breath before running forwards and taking a flying leap at the enraged creature.

He landed on its shoulder and quickly scaled its scales, managing to get close to where Virgil was.

The dragon-rex let out a loud roar and tried to brush the two traits off by crashing into several trees. If it didn't have comically short arms it would have grabbed them.

Virgil managed to cling on until a branch whipped across his hands and he let go with a yelp of pain which turned into a terrified scream as he plummeted towards the ground.

Roman didn't even think as he threw himself after Virgil and managed to grab him and a tree branch.

Virgil was shaking, tears of fear running down his face as he held his hands over his eyes.

Roman looked around for a sturdy looking branch, very aware of the fact he was dangling from a branch, holding onto Virgil and the dragon-rex could spot them at any moment.

He manged to swing slightly towards a branch and let out a relieved sigh as he stood on it, Virgil now clinging to him like a sloth.

With his expert climbing skills Roman managed to climb down from the tree with Virgil still attached to him and quietly made his way out of the forest, leaving the dragon-rex to its own devices.

He walked through the ornate gates with a big sigh as the familiar sight of the mindspace surrounded him once more.

Virgil hadn't moved so Roman walked into the lounge where he found Patton and Logan.

"Hey Roman I..... what's up with Virgil?" Patton asked, immediately concerned.

Roman sat down on the couch and looked down at Virgil who was trembling still. "He was on top of a dragon-rex in the imagination and almost fell to his death but I managed to save him."

"Virgil! What were you doing on top of one of those things?" Logan asked, a frown on his face.

Virgil sniffed slightly "I... I didn't do it on purpose. I was sitting in a tree looking at the amazing view and it crashed into my tree and I suddenly found myself on its back."

"What were you even doing in the imagination on your own anyway?" Roman asked. "You know I've said no one should go in without me with them."

Virgil raised his head, eyes still slightly full of tears as he murmured "I got bored."

"You got bored so you went into the imagination? Why didn't you just bother Logan like you usually do?" Roman asked.

Patton sighed "Because he broke him three times last week and I told him next time he was bored he should come to me or you."

Logan shuddered at the reminder and quickly changed the subject so he didn't dwell on any of the things Virgil had asked or said. "Virgil are you OK?" he asked.

"I... I think so." the anxious trait answered and all three of the others shared relieved expressions.

Virgil took a few breaths to calm himself down and then realised he was still clinging to Roman and a thought popped into his head. "Hey Ro?"

"Yes Virge?"

"What the heck was that thing?"

Roman went slightly pink as he explained "It's a dragon-rex, I accidentally made a few after you forced me to watch those films with you."

Logan muffled a laugh with his hand, remembering the squeal of terror Roman had let out during the film.

"Hey, I didn't force you at all, it wasn't like I sat on you the whole time so you couldn't run away." Virgil said with a way too innocent smile.

Roman spluttered and Patton shook his head. "next time you're bored Virgil, come to me. You're not allowed to go to Roman as he's nearly always in the imagination and apparently trouble just seems to find you."

"And you can't come to me for obvious reasons." Logan said and Virgil grinned at the reminder.

"OK Patt, I'll come to you next time." Virgil said. "I'm not bored anymore though, I really want to rewatch the Jurassic Park films now."

Logan smirked and looked at Roman who'd paled slightly "Will you be joining us Roman?" he asked.

"Um... I...."

"Please Ro?" Virgil asked, giving Roman a pleading look, pouting slightly.

"OK, fine, I'll watch them with you." Roman groaned reluctantly.

Patton shook his head and said "I'm going to rewatch The Office with Thomas, if it gets too scary you're more than welcome to join us."

"OK, but we'll be fine. Right Roman?" Virgil asked with a grin.

"Yeah, um, sure thing!" Roman said and Patton walked out with a fond smile, wondering how long it would take for Roman to crack this time.
