No. 5: “You better pray I don’t get up this time around.”

Debris | **Pinned Down | “It’s broken.”**

Characters: OCS, Kajj & Qud

Wherever the young Motherguards ran, laughter followed.  

It wasn’t uncommon to catch the two of them at play in their off hours, chasing one another through Mother’s gardens, darting beneath the spray of the automatic waterers, weaving between the legs of their older cohort members.  Perhaps it wasn’t entirely fitting of their station, but it was an open secret that the latest recruits were barely more than hatchlings, still in their final adolescent instar.  And besides… Mother’s chambers could always use a bit more laughter, especially in those dour days. 

Today, however, they had already twice caught a scolding from the Commander of the Guard and wary of receiving a third, had taken their play elsewhere. Kajj had only endured a mere halfhour of quiet reading within their chambers before he had turned to Qud with a grin and suggested that they should go exploring instead.His hatch-mate had heartily resisted at first, always the more sensible of the pair. 

“It’s off limits for a reason,” he had sang, chest clicking with the self-righteous annoyance Kajj had come to expect. But who could resist the call of adventure?  It had only taken a few longing sighs and a casual mention of the ship’s propulsion systems and inertial dampeners to change his hatchmate’s tune.  How easy, in hindsight, to hate himself for the manipulation.  To come to resent his ability to alter the other’s mood. 

Getting there had been an exciting adventure in and of itself.  Qud’s eyes had nearly glowed with the excitement of slipping past the Guards, using their training to bypass the security systems meant to keep unauthorized members of the colony out.  Kajj could still remember the way his pulse had raced, his body nearly singing with the thrum of his coron as they hid within the shadows, ducking behind consoles and crates, crawling into the service tunnels to escape the regular patrols.  

When they reached the great humming core of the ship, Kajj knew it had all been worth it just to see the complete and utter awe that swept over Qud’s face. What other time would they have been allowed to witness such a remarkable feat of vincam engineering?  Together they had laughed and whispered, running their hands over sleek input panels, gasping in quiet delight at the sight of the flagship’s massive and powerful engine.  The air thrummed wildly with it, even as the flagship idled, and Kajj could feel the vibrations of it within his chest as if it was his very own song.  

Had the day ended there, it could have been one of Kajj’s most precious memories.  Had they slipped quietly back out of the room, he could have remembered it as a present he had given to his hatchmate, an adventure filled with youthful mischief, but no true harm.  Had he any control over the flow of time, he would have stopped the day right there and he would do so over and over again in his dreams. 

But of course, reality was another matter altogether.

Kajj was running his hands along one of the sleek plasma conduits when Qud had grabbed his arm, yanking him back into the shadows.  Kajj frowned but followed his lead, though it didn’t take long for him to pick up what Qud had as well -- footsteps, heading rapidly their way, only just audible beneath the mighty thrum of the ship’s engines. 

“--intruders, somewhere in the engine room,” a voice had hissed, their song low and angry as it approached the Motherguard’s hiding place.  “Someone with *access codes*.  Alert the Motherguard.  This could be serious.”

“Shit,” Kajj cursed.  Commander Essin was going to have their shells for pottery!  Dreck and dross, but it was always his stupidity dragging Qud down with him, wasn’t it?  They were going to be running laps for sure.  

It was only when he turned to exchange an apologetic look with his hatchmate that he realized. 

 Qud was looking at him in exasperated horror.  

The bootsteps had stopped. 

Well.  Shit again. 

The pair of them burst from their hiding spot a bare jit later, slipping just beneath the grasping hands of the Guard as they scrambled up out back towards the entrance.  

Kajj had taken the lead, his slightly longer legs affording him a small advantage over Qud, and his boldness taking him through tight and dangerous paths through the bowels of the ship without hesitation.  The pair of them were small, but they were strong, they were fast.  They could use that to their advantage. 

They had nearly reached the service elevator when the bulkheads started closing, the doors slamming down faster and faster behind them, their clearance smaller and smaller along the way.  Just a few more doorways and they would be out!  

Kajj couldn’t help but laugh, a grin spreading across his face as he pushed himself harder, racing the slamming doors, knowing that soon the pair of them would be safely back in Mother’s chambers and beneath her wings, free from the wrath of the others with one more grand story to tell -- “Kajj!” Qud had called out behind him, his song high and a little fearful.  “Kajj, stop!  We’re not going to make it!” Kajj had trilled back at him, raising a hatchling’s buzzing war-song, drunk on adventure and excitement and daring, dropping to his knees to slide beneath the penultimate door, the final already closing ahead, the elevator in sight…! //*WARNING!! Proximity analysis -- at our current rate of speed--*// “I can make it!” he sang, laughing, joyful as he dropped once more into the slide -- shit that was awfully low, wasn’t it? -- the door lowering more quickly that he would have thought -- fuck, oh shit, I-- he threw out his hands behind him, claws digging into the floor tiles but too late, too late -- Kajj’s world exploded into a white hot lightning strike of pain.  

Someone was screaming. 

He was pretty sure it was him.  

The world splintered into shards -- The hot spill of magenta beneath his hips, floor slick, cracking his head in panic against the floor.  

Angry voices buzzing around him, the words sharp and indistinct. 

Hot bile and cold shivering waves, wracking his body, his world shuddering apart in a choking, gasping knot of indescribable pain, reality warping in an attempt to accommodate it, to try and process the signals that were flooding his brain.  

Familiar arms wrapped around him, floor dropping out beneath him, flailing panicking, he wasn’t ready -- it wasn’t his time to go! 

Qud’s fearful face above him, now bleeding -- hands slick.  Had he done that?  Who had done that? He couldn’t *think*... !

White robes and sea-green eyes. A gentle song and then cool peace swept through him, cold numbness replacing the panicked heat. 

Beeping monitors and hushed arguments that floated in through the haze, one voice rising above the others,  just one final phrase before the cool darkness pulled him under. 

 “I’m sorry, Mother. He’s broken.”

hello~ i saw you take requests and i absolutely love your yandere knights! especially arashi's hehe. if it's alright with you, may i request yan!wataru and eichi drugging and kidnapping their s/o? maybe locking them in a house that eichi bought specifically just for the three of them? thank you and i'll patiently wait for it (*´꒳`*)

i am very happy you loved my writing! mistress arashi is very fun to write for... i do hope i can write more for miss onee-chan soon....

this request only took so long because i kept rewriting it.... this is one of my favourite ideas, so i kept going on too long for my tastes, i am sorry for the wait—! please do enjoy, i hope.....

warnings: drugging, kidnapping (read safely)

everyone in yumenosaki knows about the odd relationship between wataru and eichi. those two are closer than close, yes, and they did nothing to hide this, yet they never claim each other as the one they love, despite how touchy-feely they got with each other. no, the one they truly loved was you. they never really asked you to date them officially, and you couldn't really tell if you even were dating them... but the attention felt so good, doesn't it?

eichi snaps you from your thoughts as he holds out a cup of tea to you. he and wataru had invited you to the school garden for lunch that day. you take the tea with a smile, just before wataru pulls you from your chair into his lap. you teasingly scold him and take a sip for the tea. your favourite blend, how did he know—! eichi smiles and tells you he knows everything about you as if he read your mind. you guess your face gave away your thoughts. wataru squeezes your waist and follows up by saying that the two of them know what's best for you, too. you raise an eyebrow at the statement... what does that mean?

it doesnt set in until later when you begin to feel drowsy. the smiles on both boys faces fills you with fear as your body gets heavier. wataru stands and puts you on his back as he and eichi leave the table, and all you can do is mumble your defiance. it is almost cute how independent you want to be... but you can't stay out here in the world, with the rude and selfish humans always trying to use you... that's why eichi used his wealth to buy a nice big house far from yumenosaki, hidden in the mountains. it'll be safe there. he and wataru will take wonderful care of you, no need to worry!

with a big enough bed for the three of you, and all sorts of amenities so you three can spend as much time together as possible... oh, darling, it will be perfect!

eh? idol work? they don't need that anymore. and you don't have to worry about being a producer. they put your two weeks notice in already. all you need is them, and all they need is you. isn't it wonderful...!

a happy life with the ones you love... isnt this what youve always wanted?

[shiro-0197]

aw shiro, my love, don't worry about it!! i only hope you're okay and safe :d please only reply when you're free, and don't feel bad about it!! >:(

my day yesterday was okay, i've just been relaxing, and studying occasionally. went out to explore a nearby town too, it's so pretty there. and much colder (since it's a highlands) of course!! Today was great too. I bought doughnuts (they're amazing?? I love doughnuts), and I had instant ramen, but it was SO spicy I nearly died. (Three bottles of water later, because someone finished all the milk in the household *cough* me *cough*) and I'm still just reeling. Sucks having such low spice tolerance HAHA. I'm listening to some old school hip-hop rn, while typing this out :D how were your two days?

here are some i'll be using to teach english :d and that would honestly be much appreciated, he's getting on my last nerve rn. (I included the first few, what do you think?)

thats such a priceless feeling i so totally agree. you're so precious 🥺🥺 i'm sure they're prouder thank you imagine. you're so dedicated!! i'm sure all that extra research you've done will definitely pay off. it's good that you know what the job is roughly like, so you'll be really prepared when you finally do start it. you know that one scene, in the 2nd season of the great pretender? when the chinese mafia boss emphasizes the importance of a translator in literally everything? (like that book award example) i may be getting the thing muddled up, but i found that so cool. like yeah, a book or speech could be absolutely beautiful, but if everyone can't enjoy it due to it being a different language, it would be such a shame. i just find translators really important. sorry, i'm really dorky haha 🥺🥺

awww but i think your personality type is wonderful. a lot of my favourite characters are intj (they're all so precious istg grrrr) yes!! i was in a tooru brainrot yesterday too 😭😭😭 (saw a bunch of couples on my walk, and I was like "if only Tooru was real grrrr") and yes?? there'd be so much to learn from each and every one of them. dedication from hinata, savage lines from tsukki, kindness from yams/yachi, how to be a dork 101 from atsumu. aaaah 😭😭i'm sorry they're all so wonderful.

No pftttt I totally feel you. I saw some people without masks today and I was like "bro wtf" and just really loudly said "I sure hope everyone starts following the rules so the cases don't increase" because I'm a lil bitch like that xD

awww okay!! I'll definitely keep that in mind. Mayo makes everything better, tbh >.< aww that's understandable! I don't have specific preferences but hearing the phrase "soggy cheese" makes me want to cry somewhere :( I don't like nuts in chocolate. I'm very passionate about that? XD ikr??

I'm surprised too, I usually never pass on murder, but I guess you're just special like that 👉👈 sir I'd get married to you as many times as you'd like 😼 oops sorry for being cheesy, but—you like cheese ;)

U

I won't ask why, don't worry. Since I kinda feel the same about Malaysia tbh. It's a love hate relationship, I think HAHA but yeah 😣😣 i don't look up to US at all, and it sucks because people generally do. And I'm just like ;-; why (no offense to Americans tho lol)

is that even legal omg they're so chaotic?? XD how cute tho. Angel does stuff like that all the time too, but I'd never know that when I first met her (she has the most perfect exterior, and then when you get to know her; she's the biggest dork) Schools opening on the 20th, I can't wait to see her then :] (I can, however, wait for the exams which are scheduled for the 25th ugh)

peanut butter is indeed yellow, not up for discussion hehe :) here's my favourite hues!! I love gentle, soft hues like these (pastels) , for yellow; I don't have a favourite. they're all wonderful

ahhh no that's so precious of you!! :)) I'm smiling rn.

yeah skdhskdjsk I'M JUST SO GRRR. Whenever someone goes "hey Ari can you ______" and we both respond?? The tension?? In the air?? Bro skdjskks. 😔🤚 You share a name with one of the most precious characters too tho!!;

This is Shiro from Voltron hehe. I love him so much, just like I love you (tho I'm sure we both know I love you more <3)

I share a name with a book character. His name is Aristotle Mendoza, but his crush-turned-boyfriend calls him "Ari" (which has been my nickname since I was 12). Reading it for the first time was the BEST feeling ever. It's also my favourite book, "Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe".

—Ari :D (no pfttt I love the tag so much. I have my own tag, that's like the best thing ever 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺)

Heyyy I'm so sorry for answering so late!! I know you said not to apologize but..... well hmm no excuse I just feel like apologizing, but either way thank you for your patience!!♡ This is the third time I'm rewriting this, and this time I'm doing this in my notes because fuck it😔

Im glad to hear that!! Highlands are always so pretty. Wish we had those here, but it's only steppe here:( Boring~ ooh, donuts!!! They're really good. I havent much, but I tried them like 3 times and they're so good. I really hope I will get to eat more<3 also WHAT'S THOSE NOODLES' NAME I WANNA KNOW- Are you feeling okay now, though? XD

My days were nice!!! Felt as if I had been hiding three bodies, but I've been feeling better lately. We had online school yesterday so I'm excused from the errands for the half of the day, thankfully. But your messages make me very happy. Though I dont always feel like writing a response (or I get stressed because it doenst save) so very sorry for that😔

Ohh those look so pretty!! I'd totally join to just look at them. The colors are so nice🥺 it looks like one of our olympiad prep slides, though better. I dont have the screenshots sadly😩 Either way I really love the little details like the squiggly thingies or the Ж .... they seem unnecessary but the energy changes a lot without them hehe

I really hope they will be🥺 that'd mean a lot to me. And I'm also really hopeful itll work out. I really don't wanna disappoint my family, which is literally just one person. The less people there are, the more it hurts, you know?

Yeah, that scene meant so much to me!! I dknt remember much, but I was very happy they said something like that, because I've been told being a translator wont work out for me. Now look at me, I'm about to tell them to fuck themselves<3 I was also so surprised to see Laurent know that many languages ..... I aspire to be like him😩 And honestly, I havent though so deep of that but you opened my eyes and now I'm about to float off into the next universe😭 dont apologize though, its very cute!!!♥︎♥︎

Heheh, I guess you're right.. every single anime INTJ is a silent sexy mastermind and I love them . ... YEAH every single time I see a passing couple i cry because I dont have anyone 😡💔 and sometimes when I see people doing something amusing (which includes people failing cuz I'm evil) I just imagine one of the characters doing that and I smile all the way xD Honestly, I'd sell my father on black market for a single day with one of them:( though that may sound like a really low price because his cigarette filled lungs wouldnt cost a lot... I sound like my 7th grade self again I'm so sorry

BAHQHHANEJWJD I HOPE THEY WERE EMBARRASED. I HOPE THEY FELT AWKWARD AND OTHER PEOPLE DID TOO, they deserve it. Like, learn your lesson bitch, it's been a year!

Yeah!!! I love mayo, not to the point where I would gulp it down from the package, but it does make dishes taste good. Same, soggy cheese on itself sounds like a dish served in the ninth circle of hell. You should try nuts in honey!! Like, just straight up dip them in honey. Sounds weird, and it doesnt always taste NEJFJKSKF (depends on the honey)but I think it's worth trying xD Walnuts are the best with honey I think

That was so funny ... TOO FUNNY, I LAUGHED FOR LIKE . 3MINUTES STRAIGHT and I do not laugh when I'm tired. You really are special 😭😭😭😭 cheesy ... HAHRNFJJSF

I'm so sorry for being a bully like that but it's so funny how you left a single U there . Its so mysterious, was it in purpose? Or were you lost in the excitement if messaging me?

I was one of those people, honestly 😭 but mostly because I wasnt aware of its political condition, I guess. Maybe theres more than just politics that's bad about US, but honestly, it has more opportunities than this hellfire. Though now I'm more into Norway and Japan. Really wanna travel there :(

Heheh, yeah, we never really show off to strangers at first. I dont know what exactly I mean by we, but you get my point ♡ Good luck though!! I hope it goes well for you<3

Oh they looks so pretty!! They're really wonderful. Like bubblegum and cotton candy and literally anything sweet... it's so cute !!! And I totally agree, there isnt a bad yellow.

HAHAH, honestly, that reminds me of how there were 4 people with the same name in my class, and whenever the teacher did the attendance thing, they would all stand up. Teachers usually dont say the last names, so we always gotta ask which person they mean if theres more than one person with that name, so yeah.. That happened on accident at first, but then they just did it for trolling xD

OH MY GOD HES SO PRETTY? HES SO PRECIOUS?? HUHHH??? I gotta thank Kuro for this wonderful opportunity of sharing a name with someone like .... him🥺

Oh that's so cool!! Also, he has a boyfriend ... I really need to start reading xD it's so cute though! It sounds like such a good book, I'm glad you share a name with him, hehe!!

I also share my real name with one of the characters in a kids' show, and its SO ugly, I'm in pain. Every time my friends see one of those on TV they go

Which is a pain in the ass, it's so embarrassing...........

Awh, okay!! I'm glad you love it, cuz I do too. Because it's your name.... cuz I love u. That was so lame PLEASEJWJDJSJF I HOPE YOUR DAY WAS GREAT !!! LOVE YOU
