#sometimes you just have to tell your dutybound partner to take it easy with affection

[offantasiesandreams]

God imagining. A More ridiculous route for the thought reading thing. ‘I am going to jump out of this window to get to that specter-‘ “NO!!!!!!!!”

Batter may be smart, but the smartest people can also be the dumbest alive! Reader really needs to keep him on a leash from time to time!

Mental Link - Silly Version

Despite being fairly odd for a library, with the majority of the shelves being fake and not allowing for the sole purpose of the building - reading, you had to admit to its aesthetic being rather nice. The view was remarkable. Had the edifice not been infested with the likeness of spectres it would have probably been a nice place to read books indeed. But that was not why you had taken it upon yourself to climb down this tower of knowledge: You simply forgot to write down the code granting access to the upmost part.

Even so, the story of how Japhet turned into the vile creature you knew him as was interesting. It did make you feel bad for both the Elsen and him. And knowing you had little to fear when it came to being assaulted by those horrid phantoms, due to your companion, you could take the happenings in without worry. Although you did know you had to hurry up, but that was not on your mind as you were engrossed in the books. …whale outside…

With a jolt you remembered your primary objective and noted down the order of the numbers on a luck ticket. It was quite unfortunate that you did not possess any other kind of paper. Scribbling on it might diminish its power. …have to defeat spectre…

You put it away, separating it from the untainted healing items, as you turned to Batter, who was staring out the window, eyeing something that had clearly caught his attention. Not unlike a cat, actually, but that was a thought for another day. Approaching him, you opened your mouth to speak, but couldn’t find the right words to say when you heard his thoughts: I am going to jump out of this window to get to that spectre.

In fact, he was already opening the window as you watched him for another second, the indescribable taste of panic mixing with disappointment. Seeing him climb onto the frame of the window revealed a power within you you were previously unaware of.

“NO!!!” There was no time for you to even think properly as you dashed towards him and grabbed him by the back of his shirt, pulling him back. Naturally, he stumbled ontop of you, but quickly got up once more.

The spectre is still out there.

“Batter, if you jump out of that window I will personally kill you before you hit the ground!”

The silence between the two of you for that second was deafening, until he finally spoke up again: “I can assure you-”

“NO!!!” Holding onto his sleeve so he wouldn’t run off, you groaned. “Give me your bat.”

He did as he was told and you soon held his, surprisingly heavy, weapon of choice. After having rotated it so you held the barrel in your hands, you lightly bonked him on the head with the knob several times. “My Player, that is not how you make proper use of a bat. If you so wish, I can show you how it is utilised.”

“My mans, I am punishing you right now. Stop doing stuff like this and I won’t have to bonk you.”

Even if Batter was being penalised right now, he did not seem to mind. If anything, all you could make out in his thoughts were observations of how he could have improved his already perfect plan of defeating the mammal.
