#welcome to bunny's library

[mossmx]

While Merlin is trending I want to thank the whole Merlin fandom

people who have been with us since 2008 and people who have just started watching, people who have left us too soon but will be forever in our hearts and people who switched fandoms but are still amazing

whereter you create, lurk, cheer or just cry in the corner (most of us have been there lol) every part of the Merlin fandom is always part of our family

even if we have no reason to trend we will always have a reason to celebrate :D

This might be an odd question, because I assume that most people already know how to do this... But how do folks listen to music on their phones?

My preferred method of listening to music on the go is to use a Tumblr audio post, because I can navigate away from the tab without the music cutting out. My backup method is to use YouTube, but I hate the ads and the inability to navigate away from the page/lock your phone mid-song.

Is there any way to download a song onto your phone so it's not dependent on wifi? For instance, I have MP3 files that I've edited using Audacity that I can open up on my computer and play, even when the internet is down. Is there something similar that allows you to listen to music on your phone, even while it's set to airplane mode?

So, we never got the proper slowburn transition we deserve of Bela going from heartless to her heart beating for the MC. So here's some headcannons and plot bunnies for how things would go after Bela finally got her heart back. Heck, how about we make it even more complicated and let Bela have her memories from previous time loops as well?

Okay, so here we go!!

(Also, quick note. MC is super dense here and can't get a hint)

You really didn't expect that just marching up to Headmistress Miranda and demanding Bela have her heart back would work. But it actually did. And it turns out, Bela did have her heart all along. It was just buried away under layers of whatever hoodoo magic Miranda used. You saw the change happen the minute those layers were taken away.

Bela even without her heart was a person who cared too much. That woman was willing to protect you from crazy cult leader Miranda even at the risk of her own life. Bela's care also showed in the love she has for her family. Let's just say Daniela is out of so much trouble only because Bela intervened all the times from background.

And now, Bela has her heart back. So, are there any noticeable changes? Oh, there are plenty! Although not as drastic as you thought. For starters, Bela still had her crazy work ethic to the T. She just doesn't force you to adopt it now. You are too sick to come to the council room? Bela will come to your dorm room with her soup and take care of you. But she'll also work besides your bedside while you sleep.

Another welcome change is Bela's trust issues piping down a bit. Older Bela refused to drink your coffee. Now, she'll actually pout if you forget to bring her coffee. And yes, you heard it right. Bela actually pouts these days. Especially at you, for some reason.

There is one thing though where Bela has gotten even more uptight ironically. And that's her interactions with her Playgirl sister Cassandra. Whenever Cassandra opens her mouth to ask you out on a date, Bela would make sure to threaten Cassandra with blocking funds for the theatre club. You're glad that Bela is being such a protective friend, but you do think blocking theatre funds is a bit overboard.

You also notice that Bela now shows animosity towards people she was completely fine with before. Exhibit A: Donna Beneviento, Angie's aunt had approached you with a job offer as her assistant at her flower shop. Before you could even reply, Bela popped up behind you, gripping your shoulders in a tight grip as she seethingly replied "No, my Vice President is too occupied in Student Council work with me." Hmm, strange. The interaction was almost like Donna has taken something away from Bela in some past life.

You also wish Bela would kind of stop paying for everything you buy. You get it, Bela feels indebted to you, but c'mon, buying you a rose gold necklace that has Dimiterescu family crest for your birthday is totally overboard! And can someone please ask Daniela and Angie to stop teasing you about how you got a sugar mommy for yourself?

Bela also is less uppity about being touched now. At least when it comes from you. You both have actually started to hug each other before going to your respective dorms. Bela now even initiates a lot of touches on her own! Like one time you fell asleep while working in Library with her, and you woke up with feeling Bela's long fingers lazily carding through your hair.

Lastly, you are also happy that you are getting to spend more time with Bela outside of student council work. Bela is a through and through Dimiterescu when it comes to setting up their hangout places. From museums to extraordinary cafes, Bela has taken you to all the places you can never dream to afford. You're no slacker either though, as you too are finally getting Bela to try fast food burgers and arcade games that Alcina will probably turn her nose up at. But Bela assures you that these hangouts mean the world to her. You're curious though why Bela always stumbles at the word "hangout"

Got anymore ideas you want me to write on? Let me know! Requests are open!

"Hold on!" Natasha calls to the group. "I think Wanda and Bucky sprained their ankles."

You turn from chatting with Pepper as you look back at them, sitting up from the ground and grabbing their ankles. 

It seems they had a bit of a tumble as they both tripped over a large root in the ground. Bucky tried to buffer Wanda from hitting her head on a rock, but it resulted in them spraining their ankles. 

Everyone begins to walk towards them, and you can tell they're embarrassed by the sudden attention.

"Are you okay?" Vision asks with concern, mostly to just Wanda. "Can you make it the rest of the way back? There's only a little left."

Steve is looking around at everyone frowning. Everyone was carrying some sort of backpack or hiking gear. 

"Four of us can help them walk if they put their arm around us and hop."

"I'm fine; it just stings a little. I just need to rest it a bit before I can keep going," Bucky says, but he looks to Wanda to see how she's doing.

"Um," Wanda feels around her swollen ankle, wincing. "I think maybe just one person is fine if I can lean on them and hop. You guys don't have to wait for us."

"You don't want to wait too long," Tony comments. "It'll get dark soon, but if we head back first, we can maybe see if the ranger has a driving cart of some sort to come back and get you if it hurts too much."

You roll your eyes with a sigh as you move to take off Wanda's backpack, tossing it towards Vision, scrambling to catch it.

"What are you—" He starts to say, but you smile sickeningly sweet at him.

"I'm sure you'd be more than happy to carry her stuff, aren't you? You're welcome."

You look down at Wanda with a quirk of your brow, amused at how she's landed herself in such a predicament when it was meant to be a leisurely hike. 

"What are you—" Wanda starts to say as you hook your arm under the back of her knees, your other arm at her back, and begin to lift. 

"Hot damn," Natasha whistles. "Girl's got muscle."

"It's a good thing the rest of the way is a straight path," you chuckle. 

"You don't have to, I must be heavy," Wanda blushes, but she's already wrapping her arms around your neck. 

Bless that tree root. 

"And leave you to be eaten by the bears and wolves? Perish the thought," You give her a crooked smile. "With how light you are, they'd probably have to hunt some poor bunnies to fill up."

You're already making your way back as everyone gapes at you.

"What about me!?" Bucky shouts after you.

You don't even look back as you yell back, "Do I look like your boyfriend? Ask Steve to carry you!"

Steve looks enlightened as he takes off Bucky's backpack, looking at Tony, who grimaces at him.

"Don't even think about it, Rogers. I won't be your pack mule as you play hero with your boyfriend. Over my dead body!"

໑ heaven in these sheets by @thepolourryexpress (E, 3.5k, established relationship, bunny hybrid louis, pwp, fluff) Bunny Hybrid Louis has it out for his boyfriend’s phone.

໑ powerless (and i don't care) by localopa / @voulezloux (E, 4k, established relationship, canon, fluff, slight angst) everyone on tour calls each other daddy, don’t ask why. and louis is so used to calling everyone “daddy” that, when he finally comes home, naturally he calls harry that.

The road forwards is paved with difficult emotions, firm denial, and a complicated relationship to the strange teenager he'd snorted coke off of that one eventful night at the club.

໑ the mountain between us by happilylarry (NR, 31k, strangers to lovers, plane crash, surgeon harry, photographer louis, injuries, angst) Harry is a surgeon and stranded at Salt Lake City International Airport. He is to perform a surgery in fourteen hours in Boston. Louis is a journalist and stranded at Salt Lake City International Airport. He is to be married in ten hours. They decide to charter a private airplane to Denver, where they will get on their respective flights and part ways.

Or so they thought.

໑ You Ain’t Gotta Feel Fear Just Mingle by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (T, 32.7k, co-workers, advent fic, library au, christmas, fluff, humour) Harry has been at his dream job for less than three months, and he knows two things for sure; first, his project manager doesn't know what he's doing, and second, someone in the office is apparently pure evil, and no one will tell Harry who it is.

Oh, and the guy who works in conservation at the other end of the building is the most beautiful man Harry's ever seen, even when wielding a hot iron as a weapon.

Happy Christmas, here's to many more.

໑ I Really Like Your Styles: The Baking Advent-ure by @homosociallyyours (T, 34k, strangers to lovers, advent fic, coffee shop au, barista louis, baker harry, food, american au) Louis isn't much for frills, and the coffee shop he co-owns with his best friend Liam is evidence of that. Yes, it's got a decent sized, well-kept industrial kitchen, but Louis insists that people come to coffee shops for coffee, not mediocre pastry and plastic wrapped cookies. When Liam's campaign for serving treats turns into watching a few baking accounts on whichever popular app he's on, there's one that really gets on Louis' nerves: "I Like Your Styles." With his chipper demeanor and over the top descriptions of the food he makes, Louis is sure that the (unfortunately cute) baker is full of it. Nothing that adorable could possibly be worth the hype.

It doesn't actually take much for him to eat his words…and some quality baked goods, while he's at it.

— rare pairs —

໑ for the rest of my life (for the rest of yours) by localopa / @voulezloux (louis/zayn, M, 1.5k, exes with benefits, canon au, song fic) zayn and louis are exes. they still sleep together.

venor (3) | kth + jjk

The barista at the university’s café keeps telling Jungkook not to come back, but Jungkook is too busy daydreaming about kissing the beauty marks on his face to be paying attention to his warnings.

○ Pairing: Tiger!Taehyung x Bunny!Jungkook

○ Rating: Explicit/18+

○ Genre: Hybrids, predator/prey, college au, strangers to lovers, slow burn, fluff, light angst, eventual smut

○ Word Count: 3,419

○ Warnings: None

○ Notes: Honestly, I feel sorry for Yoongi. He's doing his best 🫠

○ Post Date: February 18, 2024

○ Masterlist | AO3 Cross-Post

○ What was Jai listening to? The series playlist

Biting his bottom lip, Jungkook stares at the text message’s timestamp from five minutes ago. He cups his phone in his hands to block anyone from peering at the screen and dims the screen’s brightness, just in case the predators standing in line with him get nosy.

He’s at the cafe. 

Obviously, he’s at the cafe. 

It’s a Sunday afternoon, and Jungkook has no idea if Taehyung works weekends, but he’s here at Venor Cafe, waiting in line between a lizard hybrid and a jaguar hybrid. This time, though, Jungkook came prepared. He’s wearing a pair of loose sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt that falls past his butt. He used one of Yoongi’s hair ties to secure his ears and stuff them inside his bucket hat. Totally incognito. He could be a tiger, for all they know! 

The thing is, Jungkook genuinely needs some caffeine. He’s taking a break from studying with Yoongi in the music studios, and Venor Cafe is the coffee shop closest to campus that isn’t overpriced. The possibility of seeing Taehyung is an added bonus, just a tiny extra component to the self-care errand Jungkook was planning to run anyway. 

At least, that’s what he tells himself. 

There’s a little jitter to Jungkook’s movements as he approaches the counter. His wide eyes scan the employees, and his heart sinks when there’s not a single copper curl in sight. 

“Hello! Welcome to Venor Cafe; what would you like today?” the hybrid at the register greets. She’s a snow leopard with beautiful blue eyes and a spotted tail. 

Exhaling the air he’d been holding in, Jungkook rambles off his order without any mishaps. He even orders something for Yoongi, hoping it can be a sufficient apology for going against his hyung’s advice. It’s nice of Yoongi to be worried about Jungkook, but at this point, Jungkook thinks he has made it clear that he can take care of himself. Just look at him now! A prey in disguise. 

Despite the crowd that has gathered in the cafe, Jungkook receives his order fairly quickly. He lingers for a bit, folding napkins into the pockets of his sweatpants and unwrapping straws for both drinks he bought. Eventually, he runs out of things to keep himself busy and can no longer stall. 

“Um, excuse me?” Jungkook calls out from the side of the counter. 

The snow leopard hybrid looks up from the drink she’s preparing. “Yes?”

“Is, um, Taehyung working today?” 

“Who’s asking?” Her tone isn’t necessarily aggressive, but the downturn of her mouth and the wrinkles between her eyebrows match the defensive question. 

“Jungkook,” he replies, too caught off guard to know how else to answer but with the truth – even if Taehyung won’t even know who Jungkook is if his coworker mentions it to him later. 

After appraising Jungkook and likely deciding he doesn’t look like a threat, the snow leopard replies with a simple,

“No.” 

“Cool, cool. Um, thanks!”

Jungkook lifts the drinks and paper bag of mini donuts he’d bought with gratitude before ducking out of the cafe through the front doors. So much for fixing his bad first impression. Or was it his second? Third? At this point, Jungkook can’t keep track of all the failed opportunities to introduce himself to Taehyung as a normal person would.

Jungkook treks back to the library, balancing the drinks and snacks rather precariously through doors pushed by his hips and kicked open by his sneakers. He and Yoongi have reserved a study room similar to the one Jungkook often books with Suyun. Private study rooms are handy when he and Yoongi don’t feel like dealing with predators misusing the library space and treating it like a social hour.

Yoongi is curled up in the corner of the study room. He decided to forgo the table and sat on a beanbag he dragged from another room in the library. Jungkook thinks it’s typical cat behavior, though he doesn’t dare comment on it. Yoongi might not have claws, but his eyes shoot daggers.

“You went to the damn cafe, Jeon Jungkook.” Yoongi’s tail swats at the ground before flicking back up in the air.  

“I brought back snacks!” Jungkook hip-bumps the door to close it and plops on the floor with Yoongi, holding out the iced Americano he knows his friend will like. “A drink for you, a drink for me, and donuts to share. I’m an amazing roommate.”

“You’re a pain in my ass,” Yoongi complains around a mouthful of donuts.

“You love me.”

“Sometimes, Jungkook, I think you are a bit naive.”

Jungkook rolls his eyes and gets up onto his knees to reach his laptop on the table. Careful not to knock anything over, he settles on the floor with his laptop on his thighs and his back leaning against the wall.

“Optimism and friendliness are different than naivety. You wouldn’t know because you’re a grumpy old man,” Jungkook points out as he pulls his hat off. When he finally unties his ears, he massages the base of each as they flop back into place, sore from being pulled backward at such an unnatural angle. 

Yoongi closes the book he’s reading and smacks Jungkook in the shoulder with it.

“Take that back.”

“No!”

“Hmph,” Yoongi grunts, sounding just as grumpy as Jungkook knows that he is.

The two hybrids are silent for a while, both focused on their studies. Jungkook is working on designing a mobile app for one of his classes— it’s a video game similar to the Pokemon games he would play on his GameBoy when he was younger. From the looks of it, Yoongi is reading a novel, though Jungkook isn’t sure if it’s for fun or for class. That’s always how it is with the creative types, he supposes.

“Well,” Yoongi says slowly after clearing his throat. It comes out stunted, a little awkward. “Did you see your tiger?”

Cheeks heating up, Jungkook slumps against the wall and shrugs his shoulders to his ears.

“I didn’t…”

“But?” Yoongi gives Jungkook a sidelong look.

“But… he’s kind of in one of my classes now, so I’ll see him on Tuesday…”

Bewildered, Yoongi sets his book down and turns to look at Jungkook. His tail smacks Jungkook’s leg and wraps around his ankle, though Jungkook doesn’t think Yoongi even realizes it due to how excitable he’s getting. Jungkook still doesn’t know why this is such a big deal.

“How is he in one of your classes?”

“Hyung, I’m trying to do my assignment.”

“How, Jungkook?”

With a sigh, Jungkook puts his laptop on the floor and shakes his leg free of Yoongi’s tail.

“I don’t know. He just showed up last week. My friend said sometimes predators get to take classes with prey if they want to overload their courses to graduate faster.”

Suyun is probably correct; she’s one of the most intelligent people Jungkook knows. Jungkook doesn’t mention that she was the one who told him, though. He doesn’t want Yoongi coming up with any ideas about Jungkook being friends with one of the only prey students dating a predator on their campus.

“Jungkook,” Yoongi gives him an exasperated look, “I’ve heard bad things about that specific group of predators that Taehyung hangs out with.”

The confession doesn’t sit right with Jungkook. It feels like Yoongi is overreacting, and it reminds him of his parents. So many prey hybrids let fear and paranoia dictate how they live and who they spend time with. Jungkook doesn’t want to be like that, not anymore.

“And where did you get this information?” he challenges with his arms crossed.

Yoongi waves his hand, gesturing all around them.

“Everyone knows this. It’s common knowledge. They’re shady, okay? Starting fights at parties, drugs, sleeping around, stuff like that.”

Jungkook has lived a sheltered life, but everything Yoongi lists sounds like typical college behavior — at least, what Jungkook has heard about predator college students. Maybe he is naive.

“I promise I won’t do any of that stuff, hyung,” Jungkook says with a tug of Yoongi’s ear. “I’m a good kid.”

Yoongi scowls and smacks at Jungkook’s hand.

“A nuisance is more like it. Now do your assignment.”

-

On Tuesday, Jungkook arrives at his class on time, not out of breath and not sweating through his clothes. He crosses through the double doors at the back of the lecture hall and eyes the tiered seating as other students shuffle down the aisles. There are plenty of seats available since class hasn’t started yet. Near the front of the room, Jungkook spots Suyun talking with another student. Jungkook would immediately head for the fold-down seat beside Suyun any other day. He’d pull out the adjustable desk attached to the seat and prep his notebook for the day’s lesson, maybe even get out his phone to record the audio in case he got distracted. Jungkook wouldn’t hesitate to go to his usual seat any other day. 

But today, Taehyung is on time.

The tiger hybrid sits in the back like he did the week prior. Again, Jungkook thinks Taehyung looks too big for the seat, his long legs and broad shoulders sticking out compared to the smaller frames of his prey classmates. His striped tail drapes over the armrest of the seat next to him, and his ears flick as Jungkook approaches him.

“Can I sit here?” Jungkook asks, the words nearly sticking in his throat. 

Setting down the pencil he’d been twirling between his fingers, Taehyung turns his head to look Jungkook up and down. The slow drag of his gaze makes Jungkook’s skin prickle. Taehyung’s sharp, feline eyes trigger Jungkook’s fight-or-flight response. It takes tensing his muscles for Jungkook not to bolt down the aisle and sit with Suyun instead.

Part of Jungkook knows that this is an instinctual response to being near a predator. He wonders if Suyun still feels this way about Jackson or if she has gotten used to him enough that her body doesn’t react like this anymore. 

An even tinier part of Jungkook thinks that, maybe, he kind of… likes it… 

The adrenaline is exciting, and the dangerous energy Taehyung gives off makes Jungkook feel wanted – in a way he never has before. 

Jungkook may be a bit naive, but he’s not stupid. He notices that Taehyung’s eyes linger on the smooth expanse of skin his shorts reveal. Jungkook silently thanks his morning self for picking a cute outfit for the day. He feels much better in cute jean shorts, a striped rugby shirt, and his artfully dirty white Converse than the usual athleisure he wears when he’s feeling lazy. Still, Taehyung’s predatory gaze makes Jungkook’s cheeks heat up, yet he refuses to look away when Taehyung’s feline eyes meet his again.

“Of course, bun,” Taehyung finally responds with a low purr that vibrates from his chest.

“Um, thanks!” A bit flustered by the unexpected use of the nickname in the middle of class, Jungkook quickly sits down beside Taehyung. 

Jungkook tries retrieving his notebook from his backpack, dropping it on the floor twice before finally getting his desk in order. He can feel Taehyung’s gaze while getting his phone out to prepare the audio recording. A text message from Suyun is the first thing that pops up on his phone screen, and he sincerely hopes Taehyung doesn’t see it because it’s a complaint from Suyun about Jungkook ditching her for a predator.

Digging around in his backpack, Jungkook’s fingers scrape the bottom and find his back empty aside from his tablet and a binder. He’d been so worried about getting to class on time that he forgot his little sparkly gold zipper bag that carries his pencils and pens. This is what he gets for being old school and enjoying a break from electronics in his courses that aren’t for his major. 

With a sigh, Jungkook leans back in his seat and weighs the pros and cons of asking Taehyung for something to write with or just using his laptop to take notes like most other students. He doesn’t have to worry about it for long before Taehyung decides for him. 

“Need one of these, bun?” Taehyung whispers close to Jungkook’s ear, his breath tickling his neck from Taehyung leaning in. 

With a shiver, Jungkook gently takes the pen Taehyung offers. It’s lightweight but smooth and inky, satisfyingly gliding across the page of Jungkook’s notebook. 

“This is a nice pen,” Jungkook whispers back and feels silly for complimenting Taehyung’s pen. 

Taehyung winks at Jungkook with a low chuckle before returning his focus to their professor. 

Jungkook tries not to show how flustered he is, but he’s sure his scent sweetens with how embarrassed and nervous Taehyung makes him. 

Unfortunately, class passes the same as it had last time– with Jungkook daydreaming about Taehyung and all the questions he has for him, and Taehyung being such a diligent student that Jungkook never catches him looking his way. Whatever Suyun said about Taehyung watching him must have been a figment of her imagination because Jungkook is positive he would notice if it was true. 

Jungkook notices everything. 

Taehyung’s fuzzy ears flick every time Jungkook shifts in his seat. He switches hands to write halfway through the lecture, perhaps because one of them got tired.  His scent spikes closer to the end of class, that soothing smell of summer rain that makes Jungkook tingly all over. 

It should be embarrassing how much time Jungkook spends thinking about the predator beside him and not what his professor is teaching, but it’s not his fault Taehyung is so alluring. 

“And as a reminder,” Professor Jung raises his voice in anticipation of the noisy buzz that comes with the end of class as students pack up, “We’ll be choosing final project topics soon, so please don’t let that fall by the wayside.” 

Jungkook has definitely let his project ideas fall by the wayside. It’s fine; he performs well under pressure. 

Catching Suyun’s eye across the room, Jungkook sends a silent prayer that she doesn’t come charging up to him with Taehyung still in his seat. He tries subtly shaking his head at her, but he’s not sure his point gets across. 

“Thanks, by the way.” Jungkook holds out the pen, but Taehyung doesn’t even look at it. 

“Keep it.” 

“But,” Jungkook watches Taehyung pack up his backpack, “It’s yours.” 

“And now it’s yours.” 

“But I don’t need it.” 

Wearing a lazy grin, Taehyung grips the edge of Jungkook’s desk and leans in slightly, even as Jungkook subconsciously leans back. 

“Y’know,” Taehyung begins with a lick of his bottom lip. When the grin returns, Taehyung reveals sharp canines that extend slightly further than the rest of his teeth. “I heard you missed me over the weekend, Jungkook.” 

Before Jungkook’s cheeks even flush a deep pink, Taehyung is already pushing himself up to stand at full height. He gives Jungkook one last look and slips past him down the row of seats, never leaving Jungkook’s sight until he’s through the classroom’s double doors. 

“What the hell was that?” Suyun is on Jungkook with a quickness, her large, rounded ears sticking up out of her straight hair. 

Jungkook exhales slowly. “I… don’t know?” 

Gathering his notebook and Taehyung’s pen, Jungkook almost misses the slip of paper folded in half and teetering on the edge of his desk. It’s intentionally folded and perfectly aligned at the edges, and the paper looks different than that of Jungkook’s notebook.

He doesn’t mean to be secretive, but Jungkook twists in his seat to hide the note when he opens it. Suyun is trustworthy; there’s no questioning that. Still, Jungkook wants to have the chance to process whatever this note is before he shares it with anyone else. 

It’s a good call, considering what’s scrawled on the inside in small, messy lines. 

vante95 2 pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays  10 am Saturdays

Jungkook refolds the paper and shoves it in his pocket. His entire face burns like a summer wildfire. He can barely stand up without tripping over himself, and he slings his backpack over his shoulder with shaking hands. 

Taehyung gave him his KakaoTalk and work schedule. 

Taehyung essentially invited Jungkook to text him and visit him at work. 

Jungkook thinks he might be sick from how nervous he suddenly feels. 

“Earth to Jungkookie,” Suyun shoves Jungkook in the arm as they go about their typical routine of walking to the library after class to study. “What is going on with you and that tiger, huh? You’ve been acting so weird the last week.” 

Chewing his bottom lip, Jungkook contemplates how to answer Suyun’s questions. He opts for the truth, spilling his little no-so-secret infatuation with the predator in hushed whispers as they cross the main quad in front of the library. 

“Do you think I should text him?” Jungkook holds the wrinkled note out for Suyun to read. A curious smile brightens her face, exposing her cute buck teeth. 

“Oh my gosh, yes. He’s so cute, Jungkook! Don’t believe all that silly stuff about predators being bad. They’re not all so terrible,” Suyun urges. 

If anyone knows what it’s like to trust a predator, it would be Suyun. Her encouragement is all the permission Jungkook needs to open the app on his phone and type in Taehyung’s KakaoTalk ID. 

Jungkook doesn’t know why he expects an immediate response; he already knows Taehyung has work right now. Still, he feels disappointment sink like a rock in his gut after five minutes pass and his message is still unread. Should he have waited to text him? Does it seem desperate to send him a message so quickly after receiving his contact info? 

Trying to pull himself together, he gets settled in a study room with Suyun and puts his phone on Do Not Disturb. He may be determined to get to know the mysterious tiger hybrid, but school will always come first. 

Suyun stands at the whiteboard, which takes up an entire wall. She works diligently to draw diagrams of something chemistry-related that Jungkook doesn’t understand– many lines connecting hexagons and acronyms he doesn’t recognize. Jungkook may be studying science, but not that kind of science. 

“So,” Suyun asks as she writes mathematical equations in pink marker that look more confusing than the hieroglyphs they were just studying, “Do you like going here better than your other school?” 

“I do, but I think it’s a lot harder here. I feel like all I do is study.” 

Suyun laughs and smiles over her shoulder at Jungkook. 

“I totally get that. We need to do something fun, maybe go clubbing. I could see if Jackson’s friends are throwing any house parties. I feel like there’s usually a few of them right before finals, as like, a morale boost.” 

“I’ve never actually been to a party…” Jungkook admits quietly, though rather than embarrassment, he feels giddiness at the prospect of experiencing another new college experience he was previously denied. 

Suyun whips around and accidentally flings her marker across the room. Giggling, Jungkook gets up to search for the marker.

“Oh my gosh, Jeon Jungkook, we are going to a party. What else haven’t you done? I need to pop your cherry.” 

“What!” Jungkook nearly shrieks. The shock of her statement makes Jungkook mess up his throw, and he ends up nearly chucking the marker in Suyun’s face. 

“Sorry, that came out wrong. I’m not, like, trying to take your virginity. Is that what you thought?” 

Jungkook hides behind his laptop once he returns to his seat. He’s not ready to admit that, yes, he is a virgin. Admitting that usually gets him weird stares and inappropriate comments. One time, an old friend of Jungkook’s said he “screamed virgin”– whatever that means!

“Maybe we can start with a house party and go from there…” Jungkook offers with a suspicious look thrown at Suyun’s back. Maybe dating a predator has had an impact on the mouse hybrid, who otherwise should be naturally timid and prudish. 

“Sure, sure. I’ll text Jackson right now. We’ll have all week to figure everything out.” 

When Suyun reaches for her phone, Jungkook impulsively checks his as well. His heart leaps into his throat, and his palms sweat when he checks the notifications he’d silenced during their study session.

Would you care for a spare AU on this fine day?

Think about it: Moon Bunnyblade

Bunnies live on the moon in their very nice Bunny Kingdom. But even in the very nice Bunny Kingdom, there are still lost and forgotten children. Children on the streets with no one to take care of them. Seen as nuisances and not worth anyone's time. Pests.

Technoblade is not a pest. He is a very smart bunny.

I mean, how many six year olds know how to sneak to earth?

Earth is a bit scary because there are these terrifying tall swaying things (trees) and tons of these really weird colorful things (flowers). But he is a brave bunny and he persevered.

He runs into a 6 year old Wilbur and is in absolute awe of the wings on the kid's back. Wilbur, in turn, is fascinated by Techno's soft looking ears.

They click immediately.

Techno sneaks off the moon more and more, bringing sweet treats he stole to share with his first and only friend. Wilbur enjoys talking to Techno and singing him pretty songs. Best buds.

Wilbur introduces Techno to Philza and THAT is a little scarier. Philza has very sharp claws. He is very tall. And, unlike Wilbur, he can actually fly.

He also has a very shiny hat. Gold and emeralds.

Philza welcomes Technoblade into his very big house and Technoblade is happy to play with Wilbur in the massive halls. Philza is kind enough to provide a wide range of vegetarian options so Techno doesn't have to eat the stinky meat.

Philza is very curious about the Moon Bunnies legendary potions, but Techno doesn't know much about them. He's a street kid. He can't read.

Philza teaches him to read and Wilbur begins to have sooooooo much trouble dragging his friend out of the library. He tries his best to convince his Dad to un-literate his new friend.

As nice as Earth is, though, Techno still always returns to the moon. It's his home, though it begins to feel less and less that way.

He spots an old book in a trash can.

It's not particularly rare or out of the ordinary. There were tons of books on potions on the Moon. He had never gotten to have one, but he saw them all the time.

He immediately takes the dingy book with him back to earth to give to Phil. Phil is over the moon (pun intended)

The Moon Kingdom is NOT happy about this.

Little street rat running around on the earth? Who cares!

Little street rat sharing kingdom secrets to their enemies, The Elytrians? Big Problem.

The soldiers chase Techno down, intent to bring him into custody. But his is six (maybe seven, now) and he is afraid. So he runs, as fast as he can, to the one place that feels safe.

He ends up really REALLY injured and collapses in the woods outside of whatever city the Elytrians live in.

Wilbur was expecting his friend to come that day and goes out to look for him, only to find him in a puddle of blood unconscious and FREAKS OUT. He runs to get his dad, but he is so upset that it takes Philza a while to figure out what happened. When Philza does figure it out, he goes out and carefully picks up the little bunny and brings him back to be helped.

Its a good thing Techno gave him that potion book otherwise Techno would be dead. As it is, he loses a foot, but he will live.

The Bunny Kingdom sends a diplomat and demands that Philza overturns the criminal and the book.

Philza refuses both and the Bunny Kingdom says that it will be seen as a declaration of war.

Philza says bring it.

Aaaaaand that's all I got! Philza probably crushes the bunnies and keeps his new fluffy son. Honestly, he is really soft and fluffy. Very cuddle-able. He's probably going to insist on carrying him everywhere, he is so incredibly soft.

A mean kick, though. Best to stay on the footless side when you demand he eats broccoli.

Sometimes you send me banger asks like this and I keep them hostage in my inbox for over a month (this one is from December 2023) and I feel bad but I do this because I wanna reread them over and over and over again. I love this one in particular, this is just so HNNNN

LAST PART ,AO3 LINK, SERIES MASTERLIST, NEXT PART

[F/N] zipped open her bag, The fastener running down the side of the main compartment.

It was the early morning, Daylight streaming in from the open window of the room and shining down onto the old shaggy carpet. Highlighting the rugged mess of the blueberry faux fur.

The alabaster closet door was open ajar, Letting the pile of used clothing and toys with a film of dust spill out from the innards. Posters were spread across the wall, Several titles of TV show names and boy bands imprinted on the colourful paper.

[F/N] sat atop the neatly made bed surrounded by the fluff of her floral duvet. Her pillows sat tidy against the mahogany head of the bed, The bunk itself was surrounded by furniture of the same make. A desk by the open window and two bed stands filled with trinkets and trophies she'd earned from her school.

[F/N] shoved the scooby-doo torch into the backpack, It was an old maroon that she had gotten years ago on her first day of school. It was small, Straps digging into her shoulders but it was enough to hold the contents inside and good enough for her mission.

"Food.. Check! Torch.. Check! Camera.. Check!" [F/N] said as she counted the contents of the items laying inside the backpack. Sifting through everything she had and will need as her finger brushed against fibre inside the bag.

Pulling it out halfway, She smiled.

"Folder.. Check!" [F/N] grinned as she shoved it back into a holster compartment inside, Fastening it tight. The folder she had gained only a month ago, What she had held so tightly then could've never braced her for what was inside.

Demons, She had hit a jackpot. The folder had contained so much information and words she didn't understand that she had to spend an extra few hours in the library sifting through a thesaurus.

Late at night under a swing arm light, She had spent days upon days deciphering and reading the words inscribed in the files. But once she had understood and read everything a second time, She struck gold.

The contents of the file made her feel less guilty about the dying man she had encountered a while back, As what was outlined in the details told her of awful acts assumedly committed by the man.

It spoke of some strange organisation, One of which name she didn't recognise in the slightest but the atrocities they were implied to have committed were all she needed to know.

She didn't read much into it, She hadn't the stomach after that night in the graveyard. But from what little she did she know, Something evil was going on somewhere. Something that was brewing-

And something that could help her with Tetsuya.

[F/N] zipped up her bag, Hopping up from her perch on the bed and flinging the straps around her shoulders. What she had read was about demons, Not speaking of any hypothesis but talking as if they were the norm: An everyday thing!

Her camera, If she was able to picture proof of demonic existence then she would be proven right. The file wasn't useful as it was only words and the pictures in there were horrific, And worst of all had no demons in them.

It also said something about a laboratory, One a few hours away from where she was staying in the city of Sendai.

[F/N] knew what she had to do, What she needed to do.

And what a beautiful day it was to do it to!

The warm summers day, The streaming light that illuminated the dust drifting through the air. It was like a lovers embrace, Inviting and welcoming into it's hold. It tickled at the skin of anyone under it, Teasing just like a partner would too.

[F/N]'s feet hit the rug. Tattered sneakers tied into lopsided bunny ears as she turned round the bend of her bed, Making her way towards the door on the right side of the room.

She passed by the wrinkled certificates and chipped gold of her literacy trophies, Ignoring the common bugs squirming around atop them. Infestation as always, Wood starting to rot just a little bit as well.

Though, she stopped.

The open closet door, The alabaster paint of the shutters chipping but that wasn't what she was focused on. Instead, It was the shine of the sunlight reflecting off the dandelion raincoat left hooked inside.

[F/N] stared at the old coat, Visions of his face coming back to her. It was the only thing she had ever gotten back from evidence, Once covered in his blood and covered more in the memories of their time together.

She turned towards it, Stepping forward as she peeled back the creaky doorway of the closet. It was so near her now, The faded stains of dirt and grain still present as she felt her fingers brush up against the yellow Tyvek.

"Tetsu..'" [F/N] muttered as she unhooked it from the hanger it was draped from, Tyvek caressed within her fingers so delicately that it may as well of been floating. She smiled holding it tight.

It was so oversized on him back then, Sleeves drooping down near to his ankles and still ruffled to high hell. But now as she grew and matured it fit perfectly on someone like her now..

Fit perfectly.

[F/N] smiled, Knowing what to do.

Her fingers wrapped around the chip-paint doorknob her hand turned, Ready to leave the stuffiness of her bedroom. This was it! This was the start of her mission, To avenge Tetsuya and to vindicate her of a-

"[F/N]."

[F/N] stopped dead in her tracks. Swinging the door open just in time to meet the folded arms of Mrs. Ono, The counsellor.

[F/N] blinked, Stumbling back a few steps in surprise at the new arrival. Mrs. Ono stood there in her pristine elephant-grey suit, Carmen tie and bun neatly done into their usual appearance of perfection.

Her red-rimmed devil-horn glasses obscured the emerald hues of her eyes staring down at her accusingly, Not so different from a disappointed kindergarten teacher as [F/N] was caught red-handed.

"..Mrs. Ono." [F/N] greeted lowly as she started to shift in her spot, Nervously twiddling her fingers as she was scrutinized under the gaze of the older woman.

She looked [F/N] up and down, Spying the yellow raincoat and hood she was darning and recognising it well. Eyes lighting up in realisation.

"That's a nice raincoat, [F/N]." She greeted slightly, Nodding which [F/N] returned in kind. It was unspoken, But there was nothing that needed to be said as it was all spoken from the glint in the iris. She shrugged.

"Thanks.." [F/N] muttered.

"I was just coming to see how you were doing, Check in on you since you haven't been out of your room much but.. It seems like you're going to be proving me wrong, Aren't you young lady?" Ono said as she eyed her up and down, Spotting the Velcro straps of her backpack.

[F/N] shrugged uncomfortably, Squirming around under the hot scrutiny of Mrs. Ono. The chances of getting caught by her right now, [F/N] groaned. She should've just gone through the window.

"Well?" Ono urged as her folded arms were firm and stance unwavering. [F/N] grasped the straps of her merlot backpack, Tongue pushing at the back in her teeth as she tried to find an excuse.

"..I'm just going off to the library in town. Summer's almost over and I'm going to start studying early, You know how I am with maths.." [F/N] laughed half-heartedly, Boldly making the move to go around her.

But the firm grasp of a hand on her shoulder was enough to hold her in place, [F/N] glancing up nervously towards those red-rims.

"Then I suppose you have your textbooks in your bag, Yes? Do you mind giving me a quick look inside your bag?" Mrs. Ono inquired, A request that made [F/N] bite her tongue: She had been caught.

[F/N] groaned like a toddler, Stamping her foot onto the half-way rugged carpet flooring of her bedroom and the polished wood of the hallway. Her fists balled on the straps, Knuckles cracking as she felt her teenage hormones start to boil.

"Whatever! Why do you care where I'm going? Just let me past, I've got stuff to do!" [F/N] whined, Throwing her fists down to her side in a petulant annoyance. Ono blinked, Straightening up her glasses on the bridge of her nose.

Though, She leaned forward. If her eyes weren't prying before, They were like an analyst's now.

"[F/N].. Don't think I don't know about your ventures out of the centre.." Ono started, Voice now a hushed whisper "I know about your visits to town or the forest, I know that you leave a pillow dummy in your bed late at night when you do."

[F/N] scoffed, Hating the way she started to shrink under her gaze so she tried to raise her shoulders and puff up her chest to look bigger, Getting in her face. She talked like she knew what she was going through, Knew every detail of her life and so much more.

She was talking like she knew her.

"So what..?! Yeah I like long walks at night, I like running around in the forest. Why should you care, It's not like you're my mother!" [F/N] snapped, Stomping her foot down and near yelling in her face which made her jerk back in surprise.

Mrs. Ono's face fell, Weathered wrinkles dropping from the hems of her visage as she stepped back from her.

Ono sighed, Ruby painted lips turning a frown.

"I try to be, [F/N].. " She breathed, Shaking her head she stepped forward. [F/N] felt Ono's hands move to her shoulders. [F/N] shuddered, But a comforting squeeze settled her as she came eye to eye with her emerald ones.

Staring deep, Sunlight reflecting of her glasses.

"I want to be someone you look up to. I want to be the person who you can count on because I care for you." Ono exasperated. "You're a good kid, You just do bad things because you have no one to tell you they're bad."

[F/N]'s lips curled up into a snarl, Barely controlling the respiration of her lungs as she tried to stop the grinding of her teeth. A natural reaction, One [F/N] couldn't stop but was helped by the small circular motions of the counsellors thumb rubbing into her shoulder.

Mrs. Ono clicked her tongue, Looking down for only a moment while she collected her thoughts.

"You go out late at night and I find myself staying up waiting for you to come back, To hear your window slide open. With all the crime and cruelty in the world.. I fear that one day I may never get to hear the shutters of your window ever again." Ono whispered, And if [F/N] didn't know better she could've thought there were tears brimming at her eyes.

[F/N]'s head dropped down, Drooping from her neck as she suddenly became interested in the vans she was kicking in. All this information new to her, Not aware of the way the woman kept an ear out for her at night.

Who else would ever do that for her? Not the other staff, Not the practitioners who came in or the other kids who seemed to enraptured within their own storylines to ever care. Who else in this world would ever care that much?

Tetsuya, That's who would.

Nights when they made pillow forts in each others rooms that they snuck into. The way they'd sneak into the centres kitchens at night and raid the cupboards filled with snacks only meant for 'Friday Golden Time', Now enjoyed by them anytime they wanted.

A smile near cracked her face, Remembering the way he use to push her around and she to him. His laugh so foreign now, You never know how much you desperately try to grasp at memories of them until they're gone. Faces muddling and voices warbling into nothing but a faint summer daydream.

Gone in the breeze, Drifting so far away from her.

That's why she was doing this, That's why she had to do this. And she might as well die trying.

"..You're not my mother, You never will be." [F/N] spat, Head still dropped to it's valley as she did.

The hands on her shoulders lightened, Fingers slipping from her high shoulders and leaving her body. Mrs. Ono stepped back as she watched [F/N] start to tense, The opposite for her as she felt her body deflate.

[F/N] wasn't done however, Finally raising her head to reveal the veins popping at her temple and the bared teeth in her maw. Anger rising to a peak, Still feeling so small within her presence.

"Stop trying to be someone you're not! I've never needed a mother figure in my life and I never will, So just leave me alone okay?! I don't need you to look out for me cause I can do it myself!" [F/N] yelled, Saliva spitting out from her throat as she slammed a foot forward. Nose scrunching up in disgust.

Mrs. Ono jolted away from the sheer volume of her voice, Echoes trailing down the empty hallway. [F/N]'s scream died to nothing but stunned silence, Echoes falling to a halt as her jaw finally closed shut.

[F/N]'s shoulders fell, Fists uncurling and flopping down to her sides as she seen the counsellors face look dejected.

Her eyes were crestfallen and her mouth turned up into a quiet yet somehow screaming smile. [F/N]'s face fell along with hers, Realising what she had done as she went back to awkwardly standing in place.

[F/N] opened her mouth to speak, But was interrupted.

"..Alright. I understand." Ono started, Her voice quiet as she nodded her head.

[F/N] shook her head back and forth, Mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water as she tried to find the words to say.

"I.. It's fine I'll stay here tod-"

"No, You should go. If it means this much to you then I think you should go out, Adventure or whatever you do during the day. I wont stop you, Just.." Ono trailed off, Voice dying into a silent whisper.

Her eyes met [F/N]'s for a second, That shine on her devil-horned glasses faded to nothing but an afterglow.

"Please, Try to stay safe." Mrs. Ono smiled, Such a melancholy little one at that. So much so that it made [F/N]'s heart clench, Juices squeezing out from the pores in the organ as she looked at the woman with guilty eyes.

Mrs. Ono said her goodbyes, A little wave of her hand to show off the painted red of her nails and the clean cut of her cuffs. She bowed once before turning away from her, Meandering down the hallway with the clacks of her glossy rose heels.

[F/N] could only watch the back of her head, Not able to see her expression as she left down the hallway. She wanted to say something, To apologise or to make up for what she had said but when she tried to open her mouth there was nothing to say.

By the time she could make a coherent sentence, Mrs. Ono was gone. Off to do her job and her duties that she was paid to do.

"..I'm sorry.." [F/N] whispered, Voice muddling in with her breath as she turned away. The bus tickets shoved into the back pockets of her jeans were waiting for her, It didn't matter anymore she supposed.

[F/N] turned away, Trying to shove the shame deep down into the pits of her mind. She sighed, Finally stepping foot out into the hallway.

She had a job to do and she was going to do it. The camera was still in her bag, The folder too. There was nothing left to do as she sauntered off down the hallway, Off to catch her bus at the nearby station.

"Thank you, Sir!"

[F/N] called out to the bus driver, Soles of her vans hitting the gravelly pathway as she hopped off the bus stairs.

The mechanicals doors moved shut, Glass panes showing the driver revving the engine once more before he pressed down on the pedal. [F/N] stood idly by the roadside, Grass tickling at her bare ankles as she watched the bus travel away down the pathway.

It got smaller and smaller as it went, Disappearing on the blue horizon with her eyes enraptured on its departure.

[F/N] gripped the straps of her leather brown back-pack, Pulling it cosy over her shoulders. The day was cool with the wind dusting the far plains, Brushing against her skin and making the strands of hair on her head wave with it.

She stood in the middle of nowhere, In some rundown bus-station with no other passengers that got off with her. It was evident by the street-signs chipped paint, Rusted metal bar holding it up and the wooden bench beside it half-collapsed onto the dirt.

Sprigs and ferns growing wild, Grass tall and unruly that hid the thousands of pebbles scattered within the fertile soil it grew from. The road sat atop what could've been called a miniature arête, The plains not being so flat more than hilly.

Tree's of oak and spruce coupled in clusters, Standing high like landmarks for her to get back from. It was messy yet beautiful, The air much more pure here than it was back at the suburbia she was accustomed to.

It filled her lungs, Taking it in with a deep breath. The furthest she had ever been from that place she had been defined to call home.

"Wow.." [F/N] muttered as she watched the fluffy white of the picturesque clouds above move at their turtle's pace, Knowing how far they'd get in only a few hours. But she wasn't here to cloud gaze or enjoy the wildlife, She was here for one reason and one reason only.

She shifted the bag on her back to be just a little more sturdy, Settling the straps in place before her hand reached behind her to plunge into the semi-opened zipper.

From what she could tell, She was in the right place. The file she had spent many sleepless nights studying outlined a sort of laboratory supposedly in this area. It had coordinates but [F/N] was unable to read them well, Only being able to make out the general location which she thinks was here.

Fishing around and sliding out the file from it's holster, She opened up the cream front to find the coordinates and neon-yellow sticky notes she had attached to it. They labelled her bus route and where she should go from there.

Google maps was a useful tool, God bless technology! [F/N] using the library computers to get a birds eye view of the area and a general layout. And as she came to find to her suprise, Was what seemed to be listed as a 'Makeup Manafacturing and testing facility' Bullshit, [F/N] thought.

The shoes that were planted in the grained soil lifted as she started walking along the side of the road, Finding a good place to go down the hill. The brand that was advertised on the google maps icon was virtually non-existent.

Not to mention that the name "Illuminate Cosmetics" was listed in the file, The one which she closed and shuffled back in her backpack before carefully scampering down the rocky-hill roadside, Kicking into the ankle-high grass with the momentum.

It didn't take long for her to take off in the general direction of where those coordinate's were suppose to take her, Easily stomping and flattening grass along the way. From what [F/N] believed: It was a front for some demon-oriented organization, One where they did horribly sick things to actual human beings.

She headed in the direction the google maps logo had popped up on, Just a bit beside and behind the bus station. That was another thing, What kind of manufacturing facility is placed in the middle of nowhere? With no roads or pathways for the employee's?

Fishy, Definetly as she passed by the thickening of the pine tree's. She hopped over rocks and swerved around shallow dirt ledges in the crossing of plains to forest. [F/N] didn't know if she was going in the right direction, But as the smell of searing chemicals started to tickle at the edge of her nose: [F/N] knew she must've been getting close.

The forest got thicker along with the scent of clinical pollutants and contaminants. [F/N] tried her best not to let it sting at her eyes and let hot tears fall from them. It was only once she had gotten to the core of it, Could she hear the arguing.

"Ugh! You're still watching that filth when you're on the job? Lady Iblis gave you her absolute command to keep watch, Put that phone away!"

"Oh, Don't worry I'm watching something alright. No need to be so pent up, Amon."

"..Pent up? Was that another one of your foul jokes?!"

"Possibly."

The sides of [F/N]'s nose upturned, Eyebrows furrowing in what only could've been described as irritated confusion. It sounded like a normal salaryman and for some reason an English Tudor arguing over someone called Iblis, Bizarre it was as she dashed behind a ferned bush.

"You are impossible to work with! How our lady lets you continue to stay on guard confuses me!" The Tudor proclaimed and as [F/N] quietly rustled the bush branches away from her face, She could finally see what he looked like.

He was nothing like the English Tudor he expected him to be. Well.. he had the flair but he looked straight out of ancient Egypt instead. He was of darker complexion with gold and necklaced beads ringing around his bare neck and chest, The feminine-looking hieroglyph only boldening her ancient impression.

Not to mention the cream-cloth draped around his waist to act as baggy trousers, Or the ankle and wrist bracelets made out of some kind of precious stone. His belts, His dark half-cut hair that faded into blonde and the rather modern leather jacket he wore all made one thought go through her head:

Yeah, This guy is fucking nutty.

The man beside him spoke up.

"Wow, Are you really doubting Lady Iblis' decision of keeping me on guard? I expected better of you, Amon." The man said and as [F/N]'s eyes wandered over to him. She raised a brow at his appearanc.

Unlike "Amon", This guy was exactly who he sounded to be. A salaryman was what he was with his clean cut suit and slicked back hair, Appearance all completed with his dark-rimmed glasses placed upon his chiseled and admittedly handsome face.

But the way he sat, Crouched down like an animal with a cell-phone gripped tightly in his hand. It made a shiver go through [F/N]'s smile, Especially the kind smile that showed no teeth.

He was disturbing, But [F/N] just couldn't put a finger on why.

Amon gasped rather dramatically at the accusation the other man made, Body jerking around to snarl at the crouched man as his fingers curled up into fists.

"Asmodeus, How dare you hang our Great Lady's words over me! You should know better, You disgust me!" Amon declared to the now named Asmodeus, Who in turn just smiled wider with that kind grin and continued to scroll on his phone.

"Whatever you say." He replied in short, Which only seemed to make Amon more mad.

[F/N] leaned over a little bit more from where she was hiding behind the bush. Peeking over the side to see that the two men were actually standing guard in front of a doorway to what looked to be a large building.

[F/N] smiled.

Jackpot.

She had found the facility. The clinically white doors were the only things seen throughout the density of the high forest. The rest of it was hidden behind the thick leaves and logs of the tree's, But [F/N] could tell it was huge.

These two that were fronting the door must've been the guards then, Though [F/N] questioned the garbs and get-ups of them. What kind of security dresses like an ancient Egyptian and an everyday salaryman? It didn't make sense.

And who this "Iblis" was, That was another thing that confused her. But it didn't matter as her eyes scanned the outside of the building, Seeing the metal it was made out of before she saw the metal shutters of the vent.

[F/N] steeled her nerves, Only now noticing the rapid beating of her heart. Her hand moved to Tetsuya's raincoat, The yellow Tyvek being a comfort as she caressed it in her hands and shuffled it tighter on her shoulders.

The raincoat, It calmed her down. It still smelt of rainwater and cut grass, An after shower morning day was what she was brought back to. It soothed her as she started to move back from where she was hidden in the bush.

The men were still arguing at the doorway, Mostly Amon chastising the other man while he browsed porn sites. [F/N] tried not to sarcastically puke as she heard the moans of some girl coming from his phone.

The vent, It was located on the wall beside the doorway. If she snuck around just right without any noise then she could easily undo the screws, She had came prepared with the tools of course.

Passing by rocks, Pushing past ferns and herbs she was about to pass the men.

"Disgraceful! What is it that those men are doing to that woman?! Does she not have any dignity?!" Amon exclaimed as her peered over to look at Asmodeus' phone, Eyes wide with his dark eyeliner crinkling.

"Oh. So this is what human beings call 'Bukkake', It's basically when-" "Shush!" Amon suddenly slapped a hand over Asmodeus' mouth, Cutting off his explanation as they suddenly fell silent. [F/N] paused, She was sat still and silent with the vent only a few feet away from her.

The faint rustle of the wind in the leaves was the only thing she heard, Even the video playing on Asmodeus' phone was cut off. Her eyes widening, The beating of her thundering heart felt so loud in her chest that she thought it would give her away.

Amon stood there, Head held high as he seemingly sniffed at the air like a dog. His hand was still on Asmodeus' mouth, Of which looked up to his peer in slight confusion. [F/N] swallowed back the saliva in her mouth, Could she have been caught?

No, She couldn't! She hadn't made any noise and she was concealed within the shrubbery well. There was no way! And her nerves were calmed as Amon signalled the other to get up and move in the other direction.

Asmodeus surprisingly did as he was told, Putting his hands on his knee's and pushing up to stand at his full towering height. Amon pointed over somewhere else, Asmodeus nodded and they took off in that direction.

[F/N] watched as they went, The drumming of her beating heart being her only company now as she sighed in relief.

A hand grappled onto the canary hood of her raincoat, She screamed as the hand pulled her forward and dragged her out of the bushes.

She was met with the glare of broad daylight, The sun burning into her retinas as she was forced to look back at it. Thrown onto her back, [F/N] sputtered out as she hit the trimmed grass of the clearing.

"Look what we have here!"

A shadow cast over [F/N], The blinding glare in her eyes fading as she came face to face with Amon. He looked down at her with a snarl and folded arms, Golden eyes glaring into her's with the same intensity of the raging inferno of the sun as he looked at her.

[F/N] gulped, Eyes wide as their irises met.

"Aah! I'm sorry!" She yelped as it was the only thing she could come up with as she met with the surprisingly intimidating man. [F/N] tried to back up, Push herself away on the dirt while her eyes still locked onto him.

But she yelped as she felt her back hit the shins of Asmodeus, Somehow managing to stab his foot into her lower back, Making her yelp.

"Aha, It's some mortal kid. Wonder how they got all the way out here- You wanna tell us where you came from?" Asmodeus responded as he looked down at her, Casting a huge shadow with his bulky frame.

"I.. Erm-"

"Ugh! She was almost past us you idiot! If you didn't distract me with those vulgar videos I would've been able to sense her from miles away!" Amon suddenly chided Asmodeus, Directing his anger up to his colleague.

"Oh come on, When are you going to get off my case. It's no big deal!" Asmodeus said as he looked back up at him from behind the dark rims of his glasses, Closed eyes saying everything he needed to with the same unbothered smile.

Amon scoffed.

"No way, You almost disobeyed Lady Iblis once again!" He exclaimed.

"I am in service to Lady Iblis just as much as you are, Amon. So in my personal opinion, I think that she wouldn't appreciate you using her name as an excuse, I just got this body and it's in the triple digits that you've said her name today." Asmodeus explained.

Amon's jaw dropped dramatically, Eyes following in expanding to saucers as he started berating the other man.

[F/N] on the other hand was caught in between and confused by their words. "Just got this body?" "Mortal?". Could they be demons? As the thought entered her head she instantly brushed it off.

Demons had horns, Talons and claws. They had cat-eyed pupils and their teeth were like scissors ready to tear into flesh like paper, These men may have been weird but from her eyes there was none of that to be seen.

..Seen, She couldn't see it.

But she watched as they bickered, Still surrounding her like a pack of hyena's yet their attention was fully focused on arguing with the other. [F/N]'s eyes darted back and forth with each remark, Hands still firmly pressed into the grass she was collapsed on.

"For days on end, I am tired of hearing human women mewl like cats in heat from your cellular device! Only now has it negatively affected your duties by letting some mortal child almost pass!" Amon complained, Pointing an accusing finger at Asmodeus.

"Calm down, She wouldn't of gotten past us either way. I really think you need to start consorting with some women, Who knows? You might enjoy it." Asmodeus responded calmly.

This only seemed to make Amon all the more angrier.

"Why you-"

"Honestly? You were pretty distracted."

Both demons instantly jerked their head around to look at her, A bead of sweat running down [F/N]'s brow as she physically felt her audacity grow to the size of a beluga whale.

Asmodeus' smile grew just a bit wider as he looked down at her, That disturbing chill spilling down her spine only grew as he eyed her.

"Distracted, You really have the confidence to agree with him? You don't even know what trouble you're in, Do you?" Asmodeus remarked as he leaned down closer to her, Which made her shy away from him even more.

[F/N] gulped.

"Y-Yeah.. I mean if your friend and his sharp instincts wasn't able to catch me, I'd already of passed through. You're lucky he's so attentive." [F/N] sputtered out under his judging gaze, Squirming like a bug under his shoe as she locked eyes with him.

Asmodeus grinned, But before he was able to say anything more-

"At least someone understands the importance of keeping watch!" Amon exclaimed, A proud yet somehow cruel smile appearing on his face as leered down towards her. "You could learn some manners from this one, Even though they are only some puny human child." [F/N] sighed silently, It had worked.

"Wow, You really have some guts for a child… That's certainly amusing." Asmodeus remarked yet that chill down her spine never let go. His hands which had unusually long nails weaved back and forth between his fingers, Almost flaunting them to her.

[F/N] shuddered before she spoke.

"I mean- He was the one that caught me, It was really impressive how fast you were able to drag me out here. You must be incredibly strong to of done that!" [F/N] praised as she looked up at the Egyptian man from the floor with the best genuine eyes she could fake.

Amon smiled, Toothy grin proud and prideful as he looked back at her.

"Aha! You notice my power, How observant of you!" He beamed. "I'll have you know that I am the sun king, Amon! One of the highest kin under our Lady Iblis!" Amon flaunted, Almost pushing out his bare chest and flexing the semi-built muscles in his arms.

[F/N] knew what he wanted, She also knew that he was batshit insane. The Sun King? Seriously? [F/N] also thinks she may have heard a few kids call themselves that in their minature roleplays at the playground.

She gulped however, If that was the case then she just needed to play along.

"S-Seriously? That's so cool! No wonder you were able to get to me then, 'Lady Iblis' must be really glad to have someone like you serving her!" [F/N] continued, Eyes still locked onto his proud gold as his grin got impossibly bigger.

"Hah! I can say I've taken a liking to you! For a mere mortal child, You certainly know your place below me as an inferior..! Unlike a certain someone.." Amon trailed off as he raised his vision to meet Asmodeus.

Asmodeus, In turn, Raised a brow.

"..Aren't we suppose to be mutilating this kid for getting too close to the base?" He said casually, Phone still in hand as [F/N] almost felt her heart explode in her chest. Lip bitten and breath held in her lungs, Her eyes burned into The Sun King's stature.

Amon blinked, Prideful smile dropping.

[F/N]'s eyes widened in anticipation, Mutilation, They couldn't possibly do that to her..! They couldn't.. They.. Her story couldn't end here! Not when she hadn't gotten her answers, Not now!

Though, Amon scoffed and scowled at his peer.

"You were also suppose to be keeping guard, Weren't you? Keep your mouth shut and I won't inform Lady Iblis of your incompetence! Besides, Our lady simply said to keep people out and I am doing as such by keeping a close eye on this one!" Amon proclaimed and [F/N] could physically feel herself melt into the grass and let out the biggest sigh of her life.

"Alright then, Whatever you say." Asmodeus replied, Seemingly taking it easy as he whipped out his phone from his pocket and started to walk away back to his guarding spot. [F/N] sighed, Relieved that he seemed to be lower in status than the nutjob still leering over her.

Oh, Right.

[F/N] snapped her neck up to look at the looming shadow still cast over her, Despite the dark she could see that the man's smile was as bright and as arrogant as it first and always was.

"Now! It's time for you to come with me and make sure you don't get past our guard, Perhaps you can inform me more of how strong I am!" Amon grinned.

This was going to be a long day.

☆♡☆

What was up with [F/N] and her penchant for attracting nutjobs?

First it was the encounter with Johann Faust's bizarre younger brother, The boy who chewed tobacco and hung from streetlights like a bat. Next it was the violent drunkard she had met at Tetsuya's grave, The man who had a lunch bag over his head and just happened to have a file detailing a conspiracy inside.

Now it was the self-proclaimed Sun King Amon, The man who she was sat uncomfortably inside his basketed legs. [F/N] wondered if she really was cursed, If she just had some horrid luck or maybe something else..

"I killed him and severed his tail with my vessel's own two hands! He begged for mercy but for insulting me? Of course I couldn't let it go!" Amon continued on with his story. [F/N], Sat in-between his basketed legs had already learned to tune him out in favour of her own thoughts.

Him, Being much taller than her had already caged her in with his body. He seemed to enjoy her meaningless praise so he sat her where she could say it best, Not even a foot away from him with his arms caged around her mid-section.

"So I had to cut his tongue out as-well! He couldn't beg much after that!" [F/N] was uneasy as he continued to drone on about whatever story he had made up today, She needed to figure out a way out of here.

Asmodeus was sat crouched a bit away from them, Eyes glued to his phone as lewd noises erupted from the device. [F/N] wanted to plug her ears but Amon wouldn't take that well, So she just had to endure.

"Wow.. And what did you do after that?" Fortunately for her however, The vent that she had spotted was just a bit around the corner from where they were sat. She just needed to figure out some excuse to get over there.

Amon smiled at her "interest"

"I strung him up to a rock and got one of my demons to peck out his liver! A fitting punishment for messing with our lady, You agree?" Amon asked and [F/N] blinked, Looking up at him.

"Oh.. Yeah, Yeah.. Sounds nasty." [F/N] said absentmindedly, Still enraptured within her own thoughts to have heard what he said. Amon's smile instantly dropped as he looked down at her.

"Were you not listening to me..?" He asked slowly and [F/N] felt herself return to the situation, Beads of sweat already starting to line her brow as she chided herself for being absent in the head.

"Oh.. Erm.. It's just.." [F/N] trailed off as her eyes were locked onto Amon's, Whose brow seemed to get more furrowed by the second. [F/N] gulped.

"I just need to use the bathroom, Sorry. I can't really focus so.. I was wondering if you could let me go do my business in the forest.. If that's okay with you- Oh Great Sun King." [F/N] added on quickly, Lightly nodding her head in a bow.

Amon opened his mouth, Lips parting from his frown. But before he could answer, His peer spoke up. Or rather laughed.

"He He He! She probably wants to leave cause of how exaggerated that story is" Asmodeus chuckled, Eyes still glued to his phone. Amon scoffed.

"Oh yeah? And how would you know?" He retorted.

"Because I was the one chained to the rock, And for the record: I was the one who cut out your tongue, You really need to get your memory checked." Asmodeus replied, Pausing the porn he was watching to look over at him. Amon in turn, Gawked.

"I exaggerate nothing!"

"You do, It just doesn't feel like it because exaggeration usually makes a story interesting." Asmodeus replied, Tilting his head in an innocent yet knowing gesture which made Amon near fume from the ears.

"Ugh, Whatever!" Amon retorted, Now suddenly turning back down to [F/N]. "Make it quick! If I find out you've ran away, I'll hunt you down and drag you back here to be spit-roasted over a fire. You understand?"

"Loud and clear, Yep!" [F/N] nodded, Instantly scrambling to get off of his lap. She climbed out, Amon almost refusing to let go of her for a second before his arms fell back down to her sides.

He watched her go, Stumbling from her sleepy legs before wandering off into the forest. Only taking his gaze off of her once Asmodeus made another comment, Making him turn around to chew him out once more.

[F/N] entered the treeline, Only now shaking off the pins in needles of her legs as she turned back to look at the bickering men. They were distracted, Good, And once she was sure they weren't looking, She swiftly made her way around the bend to the vent.

She tossed the backpack onto the overgrown grass beside her, Plopping down in front of the vent as she unzipped and started to shift through the contents of her bag.

The white metal walls sprouted weeds and sprigs from their corners, Not cleaned in a while. In her peripherals she could see several miniscule bugs crawling around in the shutters and canals of the vent, Already dreading going in.

But she had to do this, And she had to do it fast. Amon and Asmodeus could catch her any minute, Stop arguing and come to their senses. She felt her throat grow dry as she finally pulled out the screwdriver.

[F/N] had a feeling she would need it. Well, She had a feeling she would need the pile of random tools she had shoplifted from the hardware store in town. The sleazebag working the register, Of whom ironically kept eyeing her didn't see her shove them all into her bag.

[F/N] only barely knew how to use it as she started to unscrew the first hinge, All her information coming from commercials and quick wikihow tutorials she prepped herself with before she came.

The first screw came out, She smiled. But it was instantly dimmed once she heard the argument once more.

"Don't you think you should be keeping a better eye on that kid? She could be working with the exorcists for all we know, Might be contacting her superiors right now.."

"I doubt it! From what my senses tell me, The girl hasn't even gotten a temptaint yet!"

"That doesn't mean much, Could still be in contact with the order. I'll go check on her then, See if she actually is still there."

[F/N] froze, The screwdriver in hand and end still pressed into the fitting gap. The first screw was already done, Fallen on the floor. If Asmodeus noticed it, It would be game over for her.

But she heard Amon scoff.

"And let a pervert like you walk in on a child? Disgusting, Have some honour!"

[F/N] sighed, Her relief was scarce but it helped her move onto the next screw. Starting to turn and undo it quicker than she did before, Sweat starting to build in-between her palm and the screwdriver.

"Woah, Woah, Woah! Do not accuse me of such, I'll have you know that I have standards. I'm looking for a real woman, Not some little human child. I have no such intention."

[F/N] unscrewed the hinges faster, Tension rising in her chest as the second one fell down into the grass.

"I highly doubt that! I shall check on the child then and prove you incorrect!"

"You know, You've been acting weirder than usual. Why such an interest in this one human?"

The third screw fell from the hinges. Her heart drummed in her chest as her eyes darted to the final screw, Slamming the end of the tool into the ledge she started to turn it. Desperate to get inside.

"..I.. What is happening? This vessel seems to be.. Acting off." "What's wrong with it?"

"That's strange.. My vessels heart seems to be beating!"

The fourth hinge fell to the floor along with the shutter of the vent, It clattered onto the solid ground, A sound louder than she would've wanted. And the sudden silence of their conversation was enough to get her going.

[F/N] gasped and dove into the vent's canal, Cramming her body inside as she heard the shuffling of footsteps. She ignored the ants and insects skittering around inside as she started to clamber through the tunnel.

"HEY!"

[F/N] couldn't tell which one of them said that, Nor could she tell whose hand was trying to grasp at the back of her raincoat. Barely able to grab her bag and get away, She clamoured through the ventilation as the tunnel got darker and darker. Shadows consuming her body.

She knew they couldn't follow, Both of them were too big to fit inside. But the newly-teen girl that she was, [F/N] could fit though rather uncomfortably in the canal. Hearing the shouts for her to get back, She lunged around a corner, Deeper and deeper into the shadows.

☆♡☆

Pushing herself through the vents, [F/N] tried to keep her noise down.

As she travelled further and further down the shaft, She couldn't see much of anything except from the faint glow glistening rays shining through shutter doors. It was barely much to illuminate her way, Which way? She wasn't sure.

But along with the darkness came the noise.

It was chatter, Not of a crowd or a busy train station but a collected discussion of audible professionals. All of them seemed to either be in debate, Discussion or suggestion. It was strange, And from the height she was traversing she couldn't make out a single word.

The vents smelt of dust, Almost like a cat's cushion though from the small peeks she got through the shutters this was no place to keep a pet. With little glimpses of laboratory equipment and folders she was so tempted to drop down and gather her evidence.

But she couldn't, Not if she wanted to be caught.

Every single room she passed seemed to have someone in it. Each turn she clambered around the chatter was as present as always, Every glimpse through a shutter she could she the backs of clinical white coats and medical masks attached to nameless faces.

"So many people.. What are they even doing here anyways?" [F/N] hissed quietly as she passed another shutter. She couldn't remember from the file and the claustrophobic build of the vents made it impossible to reach into her backpack and jog her memory.

Passing round another turn, Going further and further down the vents she started to smile. The discursive chatter started to die down, Only faraway thunder now as she excitedly crawled deeper inside.

It was only once it started to die was she ready to kick open a shutter, Checking the room only once. Reeling back her leg for momentum, The soles of her vans pushed into the shutter of the vent and kicked it open with a resounding slam.

Her legs draped over the opening, Hanging back and forth in the air. [F/N] measured the drop between her and the concrete floor, Calculating to see if she could make it without injury.

Pushing herself off the edge, She deemed she could. Hours of running around in the forest and playing rough was enough to know how to land safely as she hit the floor, Knees bending to take in the impact.

"There we go.." [F/N] whispered, Only slightly disappointed in knowing that her vans would be scuffed later as she got up and dusted herself off. Pushing her hair away from her face, She found that she was in an office of sorts.

Well, It was massive for an office. It was open-floor plan and rather expensive looking as [F/N] could tell the quality of the blueprint desk. Polished mahogany with metal support beams, [F/N] could almost taste the superiority coming off of whoever owned this.

The desk, The cabinets, The corkboard filled with blueprints and scientific formulae was all so stuck-up. Cleanly concreate floors, All of it was well kept. Especially the shine on the drawers, The drawers that were sure to be stuffed full of files and documents, All ready for the taking.

[F/N] smiled, Yet she didn't hesitate. Amon and Asmodeus could be informing their superiors any minute now, If she just grabbed a bunch of stuff now she could be done with it. In and out, She made sure to remember the pathway in the vents after all.

Running over there she pulled the bottom of three-door drawers open, It slid open without any lock and she crouched down to see several files and documents sprout out from within. [F/N] grinned, Hands lunging for the contents.

"Jackpot.." [F/N] squealed quietly as she side-tossed her bag on the ground beside her, It landed with a scud and the half-open zipper was quickly shoved full with documents. [F/N] only glanced at the contents, Spying the word demon and not giving it a second thought.

"Come on.. Come on.." Eyes dead-set on the paper she had to push it down to get it in, And when her bag and it's compartments couldn't hold anymore she started to fold them into the pockets of her raincoat.

[F/N] jumped up from her crouching position, Kicking the bottom door closed it hit with a slam. [F/N] reached down and lugged the straps of her overstuffed bag over her shoulder, She was done, She had the evidence! At least she hoped so-

"Well, Well, Well.. What do we have here..~?"

[F/N] felt her heart drop to her stomach.

It was if the room had gotten ten times colder, Like a sudden chill had entered at the call of the new voice.

[F/N]'s eyes widened, Lips parting and going agape.

It was sultry and the words were spoken as if being hissed by a snake, It also had some foreign accent she couldn't quite place, Somewhere in the middle-east being her best guess.

[F/N]'s mouth went dry, The image of a lunging snake in her mind making her body petrified in place, Unable to turn around. I've been caught- I.. Do something-! Anything-!! Come on! MOVE YOUR BODY!

Yet the only movement that came from her was the shaking of her fingers.

She could hear a mocking chuckle come from the woman.

"Aren't you going to turn around, Little girl~? Come on now.. You don't need to be scared of me~" The voice laughed and both of them knew that statement was a joke. [F/N] could feel her hair stand on end, The woman's presence somehow activating every instinct in her body telling her to run away.

But she couldn't act, Not even when she sensed the nails approaching and ready to pounce onto her neck. [F/N] could almost feel her heart explode, Even so when she sucked in a sharp breath of air.

Get it over with, If my story ends here then it will be one hell of night-time read.

[F/N] snapped her body around in one jerky motion, Face steeling to the best it could've as she came face to face with the source of the voice. And it wasn't like anything she had ever expected.

The woman was curvy, That was the first thing [F/N] noticed about her. She also noticed that she wasn't afraid to flaunt her assets as she was garbed in what seemed to be belly dancer attire, Translucent cream cloth complementing her dark complexion.

The woman smile grew wider than it already was, Tongue flicking at her painted lips.

"Awe, Look at how small you are~! Now can't you show me you're face? I can't quite see it under your hood~" The woman purred. It was if every syllable she spoke was sang in a mocking chorus. As if this was all a cruel joke to her, Which it probably was.

[F/N] barely had any strength inside her to turn around and face her, Let alone do anything more. The cold chill running down her spine was muddled with the woman's scorching warmth, Confusing her even more and piling onto her question of why a belly-dancer of all professions was here in a medical facility.

The woman chuckled, The way her smile was drawn made her most gorgeous face seem so ugly. Her beautiful lemon green eyes focused dead on her, Long dark hair tied into a large braid and the gold she was dressed in didn't make her any prettier with that expression on her face.

"I.. Uhm.." The woman stepped closer to her, Bare foot pressing onto the concrete. [F/N] wished she had the guts to back up.

"Don't be shy~ You're in a lot of trouble now, Do you want to tell me how you got in here~?" The woman laughed, Not giving [F/N] the option of moving herself as her hands finally lunged for her face.

"H-HEY!" [F/N] yelped out as she felt burning hands grasp onto her face, Squeezing painfully as her head was nearly ripped off her neck being jerked to look up at the woman. Almost tripping on herself, Tears in her eyes nearly formed.

"There we go..~" The woman said as her face grew uncomfortably close to [F/N]'s, Eyes locked dead in on each other as she examined every single little inch of her face. [F/N] whined as her grip grew aching, Tears burning at the edges of her eyes already starting to drip.

This woman was going to kill her, That was what [F/N] could feel in the very core of her bones. Every hair on her skin stood up straight, Heart thundering like it never did before. She didn't know why, But she could sense the danger rolling off of her.

This woman was a viper, Venomous and deadly.

The woman's tongue flicked at her lips once more, Eyes narrowing in onto [F/N]'s own.

"Oh my, Aren't you a cute one..~" The woman drawled as her thumb started to caress into the side of [F/N]'s cheek. [F/N] could barely meet her eyes, But she could almost see the shine in her peripherals as she tried to hold her gaze down.

She tried to swallow back her fear.

"I.. I'm sorry. I don't know how I got in here.." [F/N] explained but it came out more like a plea, Voice high and shaky as she felt that oh-so familiar feeling of weakness coarse through her, Disgust at herself to chase it.

"As I look at you closer.. You must be the most adorable little mortal girl I've ever seen.. Your kind are usually hideous.." Her voice dimmed down like a whittling flame, Almost talking to herself now.

"Please.. C-Can I just go home? I didn't mean to intrude.. I.. Uhm.." [F/N]'s squeak trailed off as the grip on her cheeks stiffened, Pushing them so painfully together that her lips had to pucker.

The woman's smile turned into something else, The one that looked like a lioness' bared marrow and gums. It seemed to soften, Though not by much as the volatile look in her eyes was still burning bright.

"Oh no, Definetly not.. You should stay a while, I love adorable things and you are just the most endearing child I've seen~ How'd someone like you get in here~?" The woman hummed.

"I-I don't know I.. I kind've got lost and I just wandered in.." [F/N] said, Lying through her teeth. She should've came up with a better lie but by the way the woman closed in on her made her brain feel like it melted in her skull.

"And such a cute voice too.." The woman trailed off, If her voice wasn't muttered by now it was whispered at this point. [F/N] shook, The woman's face grown so close that there were only a few inches between them now.

[F/N] needed to escape now, She didn't care why a belly dancer was here anymore, She just wanted to leave. But how? How would she ever get out? The woman had a firm hold on her and was much bigger than [F/N] was, So attacking her was out of the question.

Lying, That didn't seem to be doing much either. This woman considered her cute despite the damage done to her body from smoking, The bags under her eyes and horrid breath being of testament.

[F/N] was terrified, She needed to escape.

Iblis on the other hand was mesmerised. What she had thought was an order's spy had turned out to be more interesting than she had thought, As on first sight she viewed the girl like prey. Food to play with, A mouse in the jaws of a snake before they snapped shut.

But she had turned out to be much more appealing than just prey. Both from her face to her adorable yellow raincoat, Iblis' penchant for the adorable seemed to be going wild. Even going so far as to ignore the blemishes in her appearance.

Her eyes narrowed, What was happening?

THUMP!

Huh..?

"S-Seriously Ma'am, I don't know where I am.. I won't tell anyone of what this is just.. P-Please, Let me go." [F/N] asked once more, Begging in her voice as the weakness flooded through her.

Though, To [F/N]'s surprise, The grip on her cheeks began to soften. Lips pushing back into their normal position and giving her enough leeway to get out of her grasp, Stumbling away and her back near hitting the archive drawers.

The woman who had to lean down finally stood up at her full height. [F/N] let out the biggest sigh of her life, Hands running down to fix Tetsuya's raincoat and smooth out the rest of her clothes.

[F/N] smiled, Relief was an understatement for how she was feeling.

"..Thank you. Ma'aAHM-!"

"You are just so adorable~!"

[F/N] was suddenly hoisted in the air, Feet not touching the ground anymore as she was held up by the woman.

[F/N] yelped, Hands under her armpits not being much of a stable hold as she flailed about in fear.

"Look at you and your little raincoat! Oh my, How did I not see this before~? You make my vessel's heart start to work again- Aren't you just the sweetest thing?" The woman gushed, And it didn't do anything to console [F/N]'s shrieks.

She was confused too, The woman's words weren't unlike those of before yet the tone she had used was stark and contrasting to the one she used now. This one wasn't mocking, Not the viper she had imagined, No, Not at all.

This was genuine, This one sounded like she actually meant her words without a single drop of venomous anger going through them. The woman smiled.

"What's your name~? Go on!" The woman urged, Talking to her as if she was an infant and imploring [F/N] to say her first words. Her lips curled into a from, Sweat still on her brow.

The woman continued to look at her, Smile still present as she waited.

[F/N] meekly opened her mouth.

"..[F/N]-"

"Your name too, Oh, I could just eat you up~!"

[F/N] couldn't get a word in, Not a single one. With the way she was forced to stare into the eyes of older woman she could tell as such, The yellowish-green being absolutely enamoured, Almost reminding [F/N] of the exaggerated attitudes of mothers she'd seen on TV.

Fuck, This was weird. She hated it too, The way this random and woman she seemed to baby her now. Was she trying to lure her into some sense of security? What's with the change in attitude? Her heart still pounding, It didn't change a thing.

"..Iblis?"

A meek voice called out from somewhere outside of the room.

The woman turned round in the direction of the voice, A smile still on her face. [F/N] was pleased once the grip on her started to lower down, Dangling feet starting to brush at the floor until she was completely set down.

[F/N] sighed in relief as she watched the woman start to saunter towards the slightly-open doorway. Though the smile on her face didn't last long as a neuron sparked off in her brain, That name- She recognized it.

"You were also suppose to be keeping guard, Weren't you? Keep your mouth shut and I won't inform Lady Iblis of your incompetence! Besides, Our lady said to keep people out and I am doing as such by keeping a close eye on this one!" Amon proclaimed and [F/N] could physically feel herself melt into the grass and let out the biggest sigh of her life.

Oh..

Oh fuck.

This must be her, The one in charge of this place.

She's screwed, Absolutely fucking screwed.

"Egyn~! Oh you're not going to believe what I've found!" Iblis called out to the voice, Hips swaying as she leered over the doorframe. One hand holding onto it while another beckoned the source over to them.

[F/N] could only watch, Unable to do anything or escape as the exit was blocked by Iblis.

But as she moved to the side and the sound of footsteps slowly got closer, [F/N] braced herself for whoever she had to deal with now.

"..D-Did you get my blueprints? I just wanted to know why you were still.."

Well, This wasn't what [F/N] was expecting.

A young boy around her age, Possibly younger waddled out beside Iblis. Though at first glance she had to blink twice as the surprisingly-realistic shark onesie made her think seafood had grown legs and started talking.

[F/N] wouldn't of even known it was a young boy if not for the timid yellow eyes peeking out from the shark's mouth. [F/N] was stunned, His flippers pressed together in a milquetoast fashion wasn't the intimidating figure she had been expecting.

Point proven when his meek little eyes widened, Tears starting to rise at the edges.

"AH, A-AN INTRUDER!" The boy yelped, Stumbling back in his onesies stubby little shark legs and hitting the doorframe. [F/N] blinked, Looking at the boy she could already see a burst of chunky tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Erm.." [F/N] didn't know what to say as the boy started to panic, Near squeezing himself into the nook of the office like a cornered animal.

Luckily though she didn't need to say anything at all, As Iblis did the work for her.

"Isn't she just the sweetest little human girl you've ever seen~? This is [F/N], She-"

"A-A SPY! W-What is she doing in my office..?! Is she with the order..? W-We need to call security.. We can't let anyone interfere..!" Egyn cried out, Starting to panic and shake as he seemed to ignore Iblis' words.

Iblis rolled her eyes, But in an affectionate manner.

"Come on now, It's not like you tried to tamper with anything in here, Did you?" Iblis said, Suddenly turning to her with narrowed eyes which made [F/N] tense up her muscles once more.

She shook her head.

"N-Nope, Don't even know where 'here' is.." [F/N] replied in short, Averting her eyes away from Iblis' scorching gaze. Not even seeing how the eyes of her own switched back to 'normal' and darted back to Egyn.

"You see now? She doesn't mean any harm~ Now, First I'm going to go deal with those useless subordinates outside, Then I'll let her go~" Iblis said comfortingly, Ignoring the absolute ire coursing through her words at "useless subordinates"

"..I'm still in the room, You know..?" [F/N] said, Scratching her head.

"L-Let her go?! What if she tells someone? W-What if word gets to the order?!" Egyn squeaked lowly, Turning to his sister and ignoring [F/N] entirely.

Iblis' lips pursed together as if in thought, Her brothers words finally clicking in her head and realising the weight of the situation. She took one glance back to [F/N], Who was currently standing uneasy in place as she waited on baited breath for the result.

"I suppose you're right.. Pesky human authorities.." Iblis muttered with a slight snarl on her lips.

Egyn audibly gulped, Stubby little leg stepping closer to his sister. Iblis leaned down once Egyn tapped her forearm.

"I-I don't mean to be rude.. But shouldn't we.. Deal with her?" Egyn whispered, Flipper up to separate them from the intruder in his office, Nervously glancing back at her. Iblis only shook her head, Raising back up.

"We'll figure out what to do with her later, But for now, I must go deal with those wretched subordinates who let her slip by. I don't know why I bother with them.." Iblis hissed as soon as the mention of the two guards came up.

[F/N], Who was standing awkwardly a bit away from them, Shifted squeamishly in her spot confused as to what they were saying. Especially once Iblis turned back over to her, Ugly snarl on her face disappearing and mellowing out into her now usual beam.

"Now then~!" Iblis exclaimed, Taking a step towards [F/N] and before she knew it her cheeks were smushed together between Iblis' palms once more "I'll be gone only for only a moment.."

Iblis leaned down know, Talons only teasing [F/N]'s skin threatened her now as they were held tighter in Iblis' hold. Eyes sparking with something dark, Shadow cast as their faces were only a few inches apart.

"..Don't try to escape, Don't even think of it. I have questions for you and I'll make sure you answer. Do you understand, Little one?" Iblis whispered, Her smile completely wiped from her face. [F/N]'s heart nearly stopped, But not in time for her to nod feverishly, Eyes bulging.

Iblis' smile returned.

"Good!" She said, Grip relieved from [F/N]'s face as she raised back up to her full height.

[F/N] sighed in relief so great that she didn't even care when her hand was grasped by Iblis, Shoulders only tensing up slightly as she was tugged out of the room by her persistent hold. [F/N] took another look at Egyn, Who was muttering a nervous jumble of words under his breath.

[F/N] gulped, Eyes only shying from the blinding light that rammed into her sight once the metallic door was shoved open.

Like the blinds opened by a mother to wake their sleeping child, Her eyes stung at the sudden invasion of the fluorescent light. Compared to the fairly dim office she had been trapped in, This was the suns core.

Both that and the chemical smells, Both were equally as nasty and pervasive. Both coming from the wide open, Near soccer-field length hallway that she had been herded into. Only once her eyes adjusted to the light, Was she able to see where the smell was coming from.

Vats, Medical equipment and computers. Whatever you could describe this almost alien-technology was the source of the horrid stench. Doctors, Researchers and staff of all kind were idling about, Their chatter disorientating as [F/N] almost puked.

Though she would be in the perfect place to do so, As the clinical white walls and the tiled floor reminded her very well of a hospital. They were on the first floor, [F/N] only glimpsing upwards to see a balcony of sorts a few metres up, Assumedly a second floor.

[F/N] was dragged along by Iblis through the vast hallway, Egyn trailing behind them. Doctors only glanced at the newcomer, Though they were more interested in the two who were escorting her, Eyeing them like a rabbit waiting for the fox to pounce.

"LADY IBLIS-!"

[F/N] froze up as she heard the familiar voice echo out from somewhere to the left of her, The chills from the cold room being nothing as she recognised the voice, One that was like fire, One that was like the sun.

Amon came rushing in, Sweat dribbling down his toned skin like he had run a marathon with his perspirant drenched clothing to match. Asmodeus followed after, Surprisingly without phone and his lazy smile traded in for a brisk pace.

Amon stuttered to a bow in front of his mistress, Back low and his hands behind his back in an overdramatic display of respect. Asmodeus following Amon's movements, Iblis turned to them.

"I-I apologise for interrupting you and your duties, My lady! However we must inform you that a human child was somehow able to pass throu-" Amon looked up, Subservient eyes meant to look up Iblis landed on [F/N], Looking back at him with shock.

"Really? You don't say.." Iblis spat out through her oddly sharpened teeth. Canines bared as the hand entwined with [F/N]'s squeezed tightly, Almost painfully as she winced and the veins in Iblis's brow started to swell.

Amon gulped, Eyes darting up to Iblis back down to [F/N], Almost as if he had something he wanted to say or do to her but needed to keep focused. Asmodeus behind him seemed calm, If not for the slight downturn of his lips.

Iblis snarled, Free hand raising up and slamming down to grasp a hold of Amon's hair.

Amon choked as Iblis' nails dug into his vessel's scalp, Her hold unwavering like a prisoners chain.

[F/N] gasped, Almost stumbling back in sheer surprise at Iblis' strength if not for the hand still wrapped in-between hers.

"You're incompetent! The both of you!" Iblis yelled into Amon's ear, Lowering herself down so she was eye to eye with him. Doctors and staff froze in their walks, Stammering back from the scene in order not to provoke her wrath.

The grasp on [F/N]'s hand was let go in favour of giving the same treatment Amon got to Asmodeus, Wrangling him closer and shoving the two men side by side with their heads butting into each other like competing rams.

"I apologise, My lady!" Asmodeus finally piped in, Calm tone still there but barely vailing the nervous aftertaste. "She tricked us, We shouldn't of been so ignorant but unfortunately she is.. Charismatic" He continued, Almost unsure on that last word.

Iblis hissed.

"Oh, You are so lucky that this girl is just the cutest little thing, Otherwise I would not hesitate to spit roast your pathetic hearts over a bonfire and watch you writhe!" Iblis announced, The hair almost torn out of the men's scalps as she started to march away with them dragging behind her.

"W-We're so sorry, My la-"

"QUIET! I am so tired of your excuses!" Iblis yelled as she began to drag them off towards a rather large door, Assumedly the one the two men had came from. [F/N] watched from the side with wide eyes, Both impressed and terrified of the woman's strength as she lugged them away.

Iblis only turned back once she reached the precipice of the doorway to the hall, Head turning to reveal her near-glowing lime eyes staring back at [F/N], Near into her soul.

"Be good for me now~! I'll be back soon, Be good for Egyn now~!" Iblis called out, Voice echoing as she finally turned back around to drag the two out of the hall. Both men yelling out their apologies The door slammed shut.

[F/N] blinked, Wiping the sweat from her brow.

"Uhhmm…" [F/N] looked to her side to meet Egyn standing a bit away, Shifting in his spot and retreating back into his shark onesie as he looked at her uncertainly. [F/N] scratched her head, Copying him as she shied into her raincoat.

[F/N] looked away, Standing in the middle of the busy area as she was scrutinized under the gaze of hundreds. Stuffing her hands into her oversized pockets, [F/N] tried to ignore the scalding eye-shaped burns on her back.

"So.."

Egyn spoke, Finally breaking the silence as his voice bounced off the tall walls.

"I-I think you should come this way.." Egyn stammered, Breaking out into a trot as he trudged past her. [F/N] gulped, Terrified still as she asked what she had gotten into, What the hell was going on here and how she would get out.

She followed him, Trailing behind slowly past the hundreds of liquid filled vats and climbing over the tubes and wires. The vats had thick liquid, Glowing and too viscous to see inside of them.

[F/N] ignored them, Not wanting to know.

☆♡☆

[F/N] sat leaning against the built up steel wall, The material hard against her back and sure to give her problems later in life.

Knee's pulled to her chest, She burrowed herself into the little corner of safety she had made for herself. Side pressed up against the sort-of control panel she was leaning against, It was uncomfortable but she made do.

The sounds of whirring machines and clanking cogs was mixed in with the near crazed mumblings of Egyn, Who was working at the panel pressing several colourful buttons and pushing levers almost at random to her.

Pushing her head into the dip of her knees, She sighed. [F/N] had no idea how she was going to get out of here. Talking about supplies, [F/N]'s bag was laying beside her, Able to convince Egyn that she had snacks in there that she wanted so she could get the documents from inside.

Luckily due to the noise, The ruffling of paper the documents made from within her pockets and rucksack was covered up. Pockets and pouches still stuffed to the brim, Though concealed through the yellow.

"T-This is insane.. What am I going to do, What am I going to do..!?" Egyn mumbled through his work as he pulled down another lever. [F/N] looked over at him, Not sure if this was normal for him or if he was just truly stressed.

[F/N] tapped her shoes, Sniffling only a bit in the chilling atmosphere of the room.

"..You can just let me go." [F/N] piped up, Hesitant in voice as she turned to look at him. "I won't tell anyone, I'm not apart of 'the order' or whatever that is, I really did get lost"

Egyn snapped around, Fast enough to give [F/N] a fright as his wide eyes glared at her through the maws of the shark.

"N-No way! I can't tell if you're lying or not.. Even if you don't go to The Order then you'll go to the police! And that's trouble enough..! I can't let you leave.." Egyn argued as he hurriedly turned back to his little panel to smash buttons and pull leverish stuff.

This sucked. [F/N] was confused, Agitated and most of all terrified of being in this hellish place. It was cold, Air singed at her skin and the horrid little corner she leaned against gave her back aches in several places.

She needed to leave, She needed to get out of here. It was the same feeling she had felt back in the forest that day, The day Tetsuya died. That overwhelming feeling of wrongness, Like a human being like her was not meant to be in this place.

But she needed to stay calm, Stay stoic. She didn't want to be that terrified little girl that cried all the time anymore, She wanted to be strong. [F/N] steeled her face, A snarl on her lips.

[F/N] sighed, Agitation brewing on her face.

"What if I just leave back through where I came from? What's stopping me from just going.." [F/N] muttered under her breath, Eyebrows furrowing as she knew that Egyn could be too distracted and might let her walk free.

Not so much, However as Egyn jerked right back around.

"You can't! I-I won't let you!" He squeaked, Something that was meant to be intimidating but came off as a choked cry from a mouse. [F/N] rolled her eyes.

"Yeah? Well it's either that you kill me or I leave eventually, Either way what could you even do about it?" [F/N] spat, Determined to keep up her strength. The little boy younger than her could do nothing against her, It was a wonder how or why he was operating the machines in the first place.

Egyn gulped.

"I-I can stop you! I'm the king of water so I'm really powerful-!" He replied though as low as his ego was already, Egyn could almost feel it shatter and fall to new levels as [F/N] just scowled at him.

"Seriously? First 'The Sun King' and now you, 'The King of Water'. Is this some kind of roleplay or something..? Am I just not getting this? Though.. I guess the shark makes sense now.." [F/N] groaned as she shook her head.

She could almost see Egyn deflate in his onesie, Obviously hit one of his good few thousand nerves as he shrunk over into himself.

"..I-It's not roleplay! I really am a demon king.. I am strong! Just stop being mean, I don't need to deal with this.." Egyn blurted out as he turned back towards his machines, Continuing to work.

Though as he did, He never noticed the way [F/N]'s ears perked up. How her body stilled and her eyes stilled to process his words.

She turned to him, Saucers for eyes as she stared at his small form. "You're.. You're a what?" [F/N] near choked on her own saliva as she said it, Eyes fixated as her body locked in place.

"A.. A demon king?" Egyn repeated, Only glancing back at her with those canary coloured eyes in confusion.

"The.. The demon king of water. T-That's who I am. I.. I'm in charge of all water-related demons..? Do you.. Really not know what demons are?" Egyn stammered as he scratched the back of his head, Leaning over to get a better look at [F/N], Still curled up tight and buried into the corner.

Though she was still, More than a corpse would be after rigor mortis. Egyn wasn't sure what to do when she just stared at him dead-faced, If it was possible to get any more nervous then he would've combusted by now as he felt scrutinized under her gaze.

[F/N] just continued to look at him, Blinked, Only then snapping back into reality. A jolt ran up her spine, Making her shiver.

"No way.. How could you be a demon? You don't look demonic so- How..?!" [F/N] laughed however disingenuous it may have been, Frown lines still etched on her face as she steadied herself against the wall.

Egyn stepped a little closer.

"Oh.. You must not have a temptaint then..!" He answered, Raising a fin like he was raising a finger. [F/N] just stared back at him again, And suddenly, Combusting wasn't that unreasonable of an outcome now.

"I-It's when you humans don't have an injury or illness, Usually a bite mark or something that penetrates flesh, Caused by a demon! I-It makes you able to see demons so..! You obviously can't since you don't see my demonic traits or the coal tars floating around you..!" Egyn blurted out, Gesturing with a fin to something [F/N] just couldn't see, Drifting amongst her.

"They seem to like you too.." Egyn added, Slightly confounded as he observed their behaviour.

[F/N] jerked her head back and forth, Unable to see the pudgy little kin of rot circling around her head. The demons being rather attracted to her, Nesting on her shoulders and rubbing at her hands.

"How could.. How could that be true.." [F/N] whispered as her mind seemed to rewind like a reeling film tape. Temptaint, He couldn't be making it up. [F/N] was sure, As she had heard it before.

Amaimon, Johann Faust's weird little brother, He had said that word before. So did Amon, The so called sun king that didn't seem so made up now, He mentioned it to Asmodeus who [F/N] could only imagine what he really was.

And now Egyn, The demon king of water.

Had she really been so ignorant?

"..If you want I could give you a temptaint..? So you can s-"

"NO! No way! I-I don't want to see whatever the hell you're talking about!" [F/N] bit back, Not giving any chance for the demon to reply. Her teeth bared, Fingers curled and digging into the soft skin of her knees so hard it was almost enough to draw blood.

Egyn yelped and stumbled back at her outburst, Yell so loud that it echoed around the sectioned off room they were in. His reaction, It only muddled [F/N]'s mind even more.

Demons, She had been surrounded by demons for her entire life and she just hadn't noticed it. Temptaint, Everyone who had mentioned it must've been one of them. Amaimon, What a weird name, It made sense now.

But Amaimon being Johann Faust's brother, What did that make him?

"I.. Erm, I-I think I should get back to my machines um.. Uhhh.." Egyn's eyes darted back and forth from [F/N] to his control panel, Unsure of what to do as he sort of melted back into his starting position.

[F/N] just watched him go with eyes like prey watching the predator stalk off, Aware of every movement. Her body rigid as she tried her best not to lunge for a makeshift weapon, To attack him and get out of here.

She wasn't safe here, She never was. But now every inch of her was like stone, Petrified by a gorgon's stare. But now every hair in the back of her neck stood up, Blood running colder than the Styx. These were the creatures that killed him-

Killed Tetsuya.

"D-Darn..! This machine.. Where in fathers name is the screwdriver.." Egyn muttered as he repeatedly pulled a stubborn lever that just didn't seem to work, Wisps of steam rising from the panel below, Sweat near dribbling off him as he tried to find a screwdriver around here.

Not on the desk, Not on the side table beside him with all his other assortment of tools. Where it could have gone was a mystery to him, Nowhere to be found.

"Here."

Egyn turned around to meet [F/N], Who had finally got up onto her own shaky legs and had extended an arm with a screwdriver tightly locked within her fingers. She seemed calm, Slight smile on her face. Egyn gasped, Grabbing at the screwdriver.

"A-Ah, Yes! Thank you..!" Egyn said as he took the screwdriver in-between his flippers, Not realising that the red handle didn't match the navy blue set of tools he had laying on the metal desk beside him.

[F/N] watched as he got onto his knees and started to unscrew the panel's hatch, Ready to get to the innards of the thing. Her smile present, Egyn too distracted to see the cumulation of sweat starting to dampen her brow.

Brave, Be brave. Stare adversity dead in the eyes and come out on the other side.

Bide your time, Chronos is on your side, Watching you.

You can do this.

"So.. What's this place suppose to be, Anyways?" [F/N] said, Shoving her hands into the pockets of Tetsuya's raincoat. She looked around casually, Admiring the shine of the vats and the wires like rat-tails running around the place.

Egyn hummed as he tampered with the wires of the panel.

"Erm.. I'm not really suppose to tell anyone but.. It's a laboratory, I-I guess you don't need me to tell you that one.. Hand over the pliers, Please..?" Egyn called out and [F/N] obliged as she sauntered over around to the desk full of tools, Picking up the pliers and handing them down to Egyn who took them with a thanks.

"Alright then, Like what do you do here or is that something you're not suppose to tell me either..?" [F/N] picked up and examined the used wares laying upon the table, Watching the shine of the fluorescent light roll of the metal of the tools.

"Can't tell you.. Top secret to outsiders." Egyn answered simply as he handed the pliers back over to [F/N], And without him looking, Slipped them into the already overflowing pockets of the raincoat.

[F/N] sighed, Thanking whatever god that the demon king below her was so distracted.

"'Kay.." [F/N] drawled as she looked around the room. How she was going to get out of here she knew, But it was an unsure plan. One that she was betting her assumption on, A trait of hers she had only realised today.

Her penchant for weirdo's.

They liked her, They seemed to anyways. From everyone that could've been a demon. Amaimon, The man from the graveyard, Amon and Asmodeus, Iblis and even her possibly-real imaginary friend Beelzebub.

They loved her, Why? She didn't know, How could she? But she could certainly use it to her advantage.

"..You must be in charge then, Like.. I don't know what you do here but it seems important." [F/N] commented, Eyes lingering down to Egyn.

"I-I'm the assistant director, I'm also the head of the genetic mo- Oh, I shouldn't of said that!" Egyn perked up, Voice raising an octave as he almost hit his head against the frame of the hatch. "F-Forget it!"

[F/N] quelled the quiver of her lip as her mind finished the end of the term. Genetic Modification, That was a hint.

"..I never heard anything, Don't worry about it." [F/N] shrugged as she felt the worried scrutiny of Egyn's eyes on her. She got down onto her knees, Steadying herself with her hand before plopping down onto the floor, Leaning against the panel.

"So. Is it on animals or i-"

"I-I said forget it!" Egyn snapped as he jerked around to meet [F/N], Who couldn't help the shudder run through her body as the sickly yellow of his eyes met hers with a newfound fire. Ironic, Really.

He didn't say anything else after that, Fire dwindling in his eyes until it died back into the milquetoast expression it usually was. He turned back to the panel, Shaking his head slightly.

[F/N] sighed.

"..Sorry, Genetics has always been interesting to me so I suppose I can't help it.." She commented with a shrug, Looking away from him in favour of admiring the room.

Egyn however blinked, Eyes darting from his task back to her.

"..How could you know anything about genetics? Y-You don't even look old enough to be taught that sort of thing.." Egyn commented as he glanced over at her while continuing to fix the wires.

"..Well, Not enough to be taught but I like learning on my own and.. Genetics has always been such an interesting topic for me." [F/N] replied with the most genuine tone she could produce, A complete lie. She, In fact, Was old enough to be taught that in school. And in that moment she thanked all the hours she spent studying for her chemistry tests.

She didn't know much, But she knew enough basic terms and concepts to get by.

"..I-It's difficult to find human beings or demons that like science, Especially genetics, I mean.. E-Even though there's a lot of researchers both demon and human here, None of them are really that easy to talk with, To be honest.." Egyn blurted out and this time he didn't look back at her.

[F/N] rolled her eyes, A small smirk appearing on her face.

An opening, There it was. Finally, A conversation could get going.

"Definetly. Don't let me make any assumptions but, I'm guessing it must be because of your status as a demon king, Right?" [F/N] asked as she tilted her head, Observing the way a small glint in his eyes sparked up and his sad frown almost upturn.

He paused for a second.

"..Y-Yeah, It's difficult to talk to anyone other than my siblings.. And even then they're not very interested in sciences. Don't get me wrong, You humans are inferior but.. It would be nice to have a discussion about it with someone.." Egyn near whispered, Eyes staring off somewhere else as he spoke.

"I hear that." [F/N] smiled, Swallowing down the hatred in her throat. "Science is just so interesting and it sucks that not as many people are into it as they should be, I mean, It's literally where humanity's star achievements lie."

Egyn perked up, Eyes widening through the maw of his onesie as he couldn't help but let a nervous smile crawl up the sides of his face.

"E-Exactly, You get it!" He exclaimed as he set down the wires in his "I don't get why more of you humans are into it! I-It's the best thing to have come out of humanity and you all should learn it to some degree.. More than you already do.." Egyn blurted out.

[F/N] smiled wider.

"Thank you for saying it! Like hell, Biology and Chemistry and Physics is all just so interesting.. I'm so glad that someone else is able to recognise it!" She laughed, Throwing random terms out as a hand moved to cover her faux chuckle, Looking away from him.

Egyn however, Had his eyes trained on her.

His face fell, Unblinking as he stared. He didn't speak a word either as he studied every inch of [F/N], From her head to her toes was all picked apart by his gaze and [F/N] couldn't help but bite her tongue.

"..Wow. You're the first person in centuries to actually notice that.." Egyn said almost in a whisper as he examined her like a dissected frog on a table.

"If that's true, I guess humanity really is doomed." [F/N] replied, Ignoring the implication of centuries he spoke of.

Egyn was lost in his own mind, Eyes staring somewhere past [F/N] as he thought. The first time anyone has said agreed with him, A point he had held like a moral in his head and she agreed with it without any kind of fear for who he was.

Of course, Some over the centuries agreed with him but.. Egyn could tell they were just scared of him.

She wasn't faking it, At least he didn't think so. It was strange, Some human child younger than him but older than his vessel was the one to finally understand him and his points. He had only met her for an hour at the most but..

THUMP!

What?

THUMP!

His chest, The ribcage inside started to shake.

It was his heart, The organ inside was beating. Hot blood coarsing through his veins finally starting to warm up the cold chills of the ocean that was his vessel before. Egyn lunged a hand towards the side of his chest, The one that thundered like a beating drum. What was happening?

[F/N] on the other hand had her eyes lit up like fireworks, This was it. She had recognised it from Amaimon, The way he had grappled onto his chest like he was having a cardiac. That wonder-filled expression, She had gotten through to him.

Though the smile on her face dissipated, Loathing for him still running through the heart of her own. As she watched him take a moment, Breathing in and out, She bit down on her tongue.

Now it all hinged on the final part.

"This.. T-This is amazing!" Egyn exclaimed and suddenly the hand gloved in his flipper was grasping onto hers, A movement that made [F/N] jump as he was suddenly much closer to her than she remembered.

"I-I see what Iblis means now..! You're making my vessels heart start to beat..! Oh wow- I need to study this!" Egyn gasped as he finally got up to his feet, Excitable as he stamped his feet over to the desk and started to gather papers and stationary.

[F/N] blinked, Letting go of a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"I mean.. H-How are you doing this?! This is impossible.. No way, Iblis was right- You're amazing!" Egyn gushed as he brought in a good few handfuls of paper and other stuff into his basketed hands, Too much for him to carry but he managed anyways.

[F/N] blinked.

"Thank you.." [F/N] replied slowly as she watched him start to scribble on his plastic clipboard.

"It feels.. Warm, It's familiar.. P-Perhaps it.. Maybe its similar to when I first incarnated.." Egyn rambled to himself as he spilt down words onto the paper. "It's so strange- Maybe it feels.. No, It feels almost familial..? So weird!"

[F/N] could only watch as he ranted off to himself, A slight rotten taste on her tongue as she heard him describe whatever world-shattering emotion he was feeling right now. A demon, Disgusting, Her fear was dwindling but in turn her hatred was growing.

It made her bite her tongue, Stopping her from saying what she said. "I mean.. H-How are you doing this? I need to know more, Y-You must tell me!" Egyn exclaimed as he suddenly snapped back to meet [F/N], Who ironically near jumped out of her skin at the movement.

"..I don't really know, I'm a bit overwhelmed-!" [F/N] smiled and discreetly wiped away the sweat on the sides of her jeans. Egyn shook his head, Nervously yet giddily laughing as he set down his clipboard.

"Oh no-! I'm sorry, D-Do you need anything? I can go get someone to bring you food or- I could get you water..? What do you need?" Disgusting, It was acting as if it actually cared.

"I'm fine, I think I just need to go back and grab some stuff that fell out of my bag.. Books and stuff, You know?" [F/N] replied with the same smile she held up like an advertisement board.

However, Egyn paused at her words. Giddy rambling under his breath coming to a sudden halt as he stared at her dead in the eyes.

"..What? You.. Y-You're not planning to leave, Are you?" Egyn asked, Almost monotone if not for the slight waver in tone, Like he was about to burst back into tears. [F/N] blinked, Shaking her head.

"No! No way, I actually like being here and I like talking with you! I wouldn't want to leave and besides, Do you really think I could get out with both you and Iblis here?" [F/N] explained softly, Stepping only slightly closer to him.

Egyn looked down, Flippers going back up to join together, Twiddling with the fingers inside.

"I-I don't know.. What if you try though? W-What if I go with you to make sure you don't..?! That's a good idea!" Egyn suggested which made [F/N]'s eye twitch, Wrong turn, She couldn't let that happen. She frowned, Stuffing her hands into her pockets.

"..Do you not trust me?" [F/N] started "I thought that we had something going, You know. We may have only known each other for a half-hour but I really thought that we shared some kind of connection, You know? I guess not.."

[F/N] drawled, Tossing her head to be side and lowering her brows in an agitated stare far off. Egyn squeaked as soon as she finished her last word, The shadowed eyes inside starting to bubble with tears.

"N-NO! We do! You're fun to talk to but I just think that I should go with you.. I-I only have known you a short time and that's the reason why!" Egyn babbled as his spill of words did nothing to phase [F/N]. She only shrugged her shoulders.

"Nevermind then, I mean I wanted to stick around since I liked it here with you but.. I guess not then, Besides you and Iblis are probably gonna kill me for being here anyways." [F/N] spat out.

Egyn gasped, His hand reached out and grappled onto [F/N]'s forearm. She 'tched and refused to look back at him, Which made Egyn all the more nerve-wracked.

"No! We're not gonna kill you! I-I don't wanna and I don't think Iblis wants to either so could you please just listen to me..! Y-You can stay here! I'll figure something out! I-I like this feeling, I don't want it to end! You almost feel like what you humans consider a sibling-!" He rambled.

[F/N] almost gagged.

"..I mean, I wanted to stay but I guess since you don't trust me enough.." [F/N] drawled out, Only barely glancing back towards the boy who was almost about to explode from the stress.

And she almost enjoyed it, His misery being a near joy.

"FINE! Just go get it and come back quickly!" Egyn finally blurted out as he let go of her forearm and stumbled back. [F/N] let out a small sigh, A smile finally returning to her lips as she beamed at him.

"Thank you- I'll be really quick!" [F/N] cheered happily as she lowered down into a quick bow, One that hid the slyness of her smirk and the grab of her bags strap before she kicked off and ran down the small lifted podium they were stuck on.

Egyn kept her eyes on her, Never letting his gaze wander for a second as he watched her never look back for a second. Watching as she jogged across the open hallway from his higher position, Gaze shaking as she entered his office.

[F/N] slammed the door behind her and finally slung her bag over her shoulder, A relieved yet devious giggle echoing from her lips as her plan worked. Her back hit the door, Head tilting up almost to thank the gods above.

She did it.

But she had no time to celebrate over the spoils of her victory as she had minimal time to get out of here, Far away, Even though she had said her name there was no way that they could find her, This place was located far from where her origins began.

She pranced over to the cabinets, Foot locking in one of the bottom drawer handles with her hand hanging onto the top one. Starting to climb she easily found her hands over the vent's edge. Lugging her body up, She pulled her weights into the shaft.

It took work, But she was able to find her way out by the lack of dust trail she had made getting in, The rest of the vent being powdered in the stuff. And luckily, The vent still hadn't been fixed back into place, The inviting light of the late-afternoon day leading her to her exit.

"-Fuck-!" [F/N] gasped as she finally pushed herself out of the vent and onto the dirty bare ground of the forest floor below her, Cheek pressed against the ground giving her the premium view of the bugs scuttling around her.

She couldn't stay for long though, Her hands pushed down onto each side of her, Nails digging into the dirt as she pulled herself up onto her feet. Dusting herself off from her raincoat to her jeans, [F/N] picked up the pace and started to run.

She got out, She had gotten out using her own head and wits. The sweat dribbling down the sides of her face was enough of a trophy of challenge, Proud smile bared on her face. The documents stuffed in her pockets was her reward, [F/N]'s eyes shined.

Proof of demons, Knowledge she hadn't known before was brought to light. Demons were really, Really real. She just couldn't see them, That's why no one believed her, Because they couldn't see just like she could.

She was home free, She was gone. No one could ca-

An alarm sounded out.

[F/N] stumbled in her run, Head jerking around as she heard the muffled wails of an alarm system blare out from inside of the facility. It was so loud, So loud that even though it was contained inside she could still hear it distorted a good few bits away from the place. She gulped, Eyes widening.

"Fuck- Shit, Fuck- Oh no..-!" [F/N]'s pace picked back up, Legs running like her life depended on it. She had hoped that Egyn would've waited just a little bit longer, Or did Iblis finally come back and take matters into her own hands?

It didn't matter, Keep going. Keep going, Keep going, Keep going-! You'll die if you stop! You'll be dragged back there for almost revealing this place to the authorities, Who knows what they might do to her?

It was unfortunate, So caught up in the gravity of the situation that she couldn't see her foot caught under the stray branch.

[F/N] tripped.

She screamed as she slammed down onto the semi-rocky flooring of the forest, Chest first hitting the ground with a thud and shaking something inside her. Her head followed next, Bumping against the dirt.

[F/N] whined, Blurriness fading in and out of her vision and a ringing like church bells sounding in her ears. The blue sky above her seemed to almost change colour. Green to red to blue to pink, Dizzy, So dizzy.

But not enough so that she couldn't hear the voice call out to her.

"Woah there! Looks like someone's in trouble!"

It was lazy, Laid back and spoken in a foreign accent [F/N] just couldn't place against the bells in her ears. She could tell it had gotten closer though, As the shadow looming over her seemed to be the source.

[F/N] groaned, The little spouts of sunlight seeping through the mans shadow hit her eyes like pepper spray as she turned up to look at him.

He was of medium height for his gender, Male, And it showed through the unshaven starts of a facial hair coming out from his sun-kissed skin. From his legs to his bare arms he had body hair, [F/N] would've felt disgusted if not for the current events.

It also showed in the dark scruffy mop of hair he had on his head, It was so uncut that it covered his eyes, A safari hat lazing atop of it. Apart from that, His ensemble of a dirty collared shirt and a kaki shorts was enough to tell [F/N] what exact kind of person that he was.

"Ngh.. Who the hell are you?" [F/N] croaked out, Hand reaching and entangling in her hair as a ditch effort to stop the throbbing. The mans lazy smile just grew, The hands in his pockets shoving down deeper as he sauntered over to her.

"That's something I should be asking you, Huh? What's a kid like you doing all the way out here?" The man laughed as he leaned down to look at her collapse form. [F/N] only shot an agitated look at him, Which only seemed to amuse the man even more.

He chuckled, Lowering down onto his knees.

"The name's Lewin Light, I'm with the Vatican. Came out here after a tip-off about an organization called 'The Illuminati'. Any idea what that is?" Lewin asked, Reaching beside him into a compartment of the bag over his shoulder, Fishing out a water bottle.

[F/N] just blinked, Weakly taking the bottle into her hands once offered.

"Uhm.. Well if you mean the testing facility with literal demon kings, You know.. The one back there blaring alarm sirens then yeah, Yeah I do think so." [F/N] spat as she popped open the cap, Getting to her knees and starting to take the biggest sip of her life.

Lewin's smile became more dark, His bangs near lifting from his eyes to reveal a sea green peering down at her.

"You were inside? Seriously?" He asked in an almost hushed whisper. [F/N] swallowed down the chilled water, The tap of the bottle pulled from her lips.

"…Yeah, May or may not have stolen a bunch of documents too." [F/N] replied, Though more nervous as the alarm continued to blare.

Lewin snapped his fingers.

"No way! Seriously? Some little kid like you got in and out of there? Should probably get outta here then and come back with enforcements- But you've got to tell me about it!" He said as he raised back up to his original height, Arms locking around her armpits he helped [F/N] up to her feet, Stumbling as she got into place.

Though as soon as she did, Lewin shoved his face straight into hers.

"Did you seriously meet any of the demon kings in there? How did you survive? What were they doing in there? Any experiments? What kind of stuff did you take? Did anyone see you? What's your name?!" Lewin spewed out, Giddy smile like a child on christmas as he spoke. [F/N] gulped.

"I- I don't know but can you PLEASE just get me out of here! They'll be coming any second!" [F/N] hushed as she kept glancing back to the facility, Of which in the distance could she hear the yells of what could only be security start to air out.

Lewins face fell, But he drew back.

"Ah.. Right, Okay. Later then, I'll get you out of there then." Lewin stated, Pulling out something from his pocket, Some kind of artefact that he held in-between his gruff fingers. [F/N]'s eyes circled in on it, But before she could a

"Ready? You gotta hold onto my hand if you wanna be transported!" Lewin chimed in as he extended his hand out towards her, [F/N] was hesitant as she looked at the artefact, But as she heard the voices of the guards start to close in, She didn't start to hesitate anymore.

Her hand lunged out to his, And she barked out a "Go!"

And as soon as the guards closed in on their location, The only thing they found was the tall height of trees around them. Shrubbery leaves dancing in the soft wind, And no thirteen year old girl in sight.

☆♡☆

"Well.. I see everything here is in order, Mr.."

"Lewin, Lewin Light!" He said, Sticking out an over-eager hand towards Mrs. Ono which previously was used to scratch the wolf's nest of his hair and reach into his bag of crisps laying upon his lap.

Mrs. Ono laughed nervously, Eyeing the crumbs on his fingers as she nudged his hand back away from her.

They sat within her office, The same one [F/N] had been coming into for over a decade now. Greyish-blue walls, Polished floors, Those same overly-sweet encouraging posters that made [F/N] want to puke.

And she was sat in one of the twin chairs, Those uncomfortably designed ones with high arms which only provided comfort once you sat like a maniac. Back sunken in, Legs spread out with a small grin.

This time, She wasn't alone.

Lewin Light sat in the other twin chair, The one that was usually empty once she was called in to be berated or told off. He seemed to copy her movements, Legs out, Sunken into his chair and even topped it off with the dirty garbs and the bag of snacks by his side.

He looked so out of place in such a formal office space. His oversized poncho overflowing off the chair's arms and his scruffy start of facial hair making it look (and smell) like a homeless man had walked in.

Mrs. Ono didn't like him, [F/N] could tell by the way she kept readjusting her devil-horned glasses. Proper heel's clacking together under the desk she was sat at as she eyed him like a dirty stray.

And he seemed like it too, His stench was horrible.

Mrs. Ono cleared her throat, Almost as if the odour had reached there.

"Let me just go over this with you.. This is an international adoption so there is usually a lot of moving parts, Though.. This one however seems streamlined.." Mrs. Ono commented, Starting to flick through the documents in front of her.

"I see.. So you, Yourself, Are situated in Dallas, Texas. Over in the states.." Ono said, Raising an eyebrow as she turned back up to eye Lewin once more.

"Yep!" Lewin chirped, Obviously not afflicted by the weight of the counsellor's gaze as he only crossed his legs and plunged a hand into the bag of chips, Staring right back at her as he shoved them into his mouth.

Mrs. Ono could barely disguise a scowl.

"And you're unwedded? No other possible parental figures or..?"

"Nope! Just me, But you know I've always wanted a kid and the dating scene is just so difficult nowadays! Besides, If it's a matter of money you're concerned about, I believe my salary should be listed down somewhere aswell.." Lewin said, Pointing a lazy finger somewhere vaguely on the paper.

[F/N] didn't hear the actual number, But by the way that Mrs. Ono's eyes widened and her breath was caught in her chest, [F/N] could only imagine the actual number.

"Ah.. I.. I see then." Mrs. Ono stuttered as she reset her glasses and replastered the pristine smile on her face. "I suppose everything is in order, Though if I must be so bold, May I ask a question of my own." Lewin shrugged.

"Shoot." He replied, With the appropriate gesture.

Mrs. Ono shuffled within her seat, Almost as if she was sitting upon hot coal. She leaned forward, Fingers entwining as her eyes finally wandered over to [F/N] for only a moment before snapping back to the man in front of her.

She cleared her throat.

"Why exactly have you chosen [F/N] here? Please, Do not get me wrong she is a lovely child but parents usually go for younger kids, And erm.. [F/N] seems to have taken a liking to you, Which says alot, Am I right?" Mrs. Ono said, Voice lowering and octave as she looked back to [F/N].

[F/N] blinked, Jolting up in her chair as if finally tuning back into the conversation.

"Oh, Uh.. Yeah, I like him." She replied in short, Rubbing the exhaustion of the early morning out of her eyes before lazing back into her original sprawl upon the chair.

Lewin glanced over to her under the bush of his unruly hair, Sly smile widening on his face as he leaned forward on his seat.

"Well, You got me there, Ma'am!" Lewin chuckled at the older woman, Scratching at his nape. "If I'm being honest with you, I've sorta been hiding the reason I've been wanting to adopt this kid in the first place."

Mrs. Ono raised a brow.

"Go on." She prompted to which Lewin chuckled awkwardly.

"Well, I met her at this food joint in town a few years back and things just kind of started there." He started. "Honestly she's always seemed like my own, You know? You kinda just get that feeling and I just think it's time that we finalise it."

[F/N] turned over to look at him excitedly, The man being a stellar liar both in voice and movement as they seemed to morph into something of a faux genuine tone. [F/N] solidified it, Nodding along as if it was the truth.

It's not like Mrs. Ono would understand, She never did.

"Ah, I see. So you've been in touch for a while now." Mrs. Ono said, Almost relieved as she leaned back to relax in her chair, Settling the documents back down on her desk.

"Yeah! Known her since.. Since when now? It's so hard to remember.." Lewin asked, Jerking his head around to look at [F/N] who hummed and itched at her chin.

"Mmm.. Maybe three years now? So hard to say, Felt like it's been a lifetime." [F/N] joked as she looked back at him, Both containing humour in their eyes that Ono just didn't pick up on.

Lewin giggled and turned back to the counsellor.

"Yeah, Well anyways there's just a lot to like about the kid. I mean, Smart, Brave and knows how to escape a bad situation. How could my cold dead heart not beat for this little imp?" Lewin laughed heartily as his hand found it's way to [F/N]'s head, Starting to roughly ruffle the hair atop her head.

"Hey!" [F/N] giggled, Trying but failing to push his surprisingly muscular arm away from her. Lewin continued to laugh as he watched her fail to stop him.

Mrs. Ono couldn't help but give a small smile as she watched the interaction, Eyes softening from behind her glasses for only a moment.

"..Well, I see that everything is in order then. You've already signed the documents and I'm proud to say that you are now the legal guardian of [F/N], Mr. Light." Mrs. Ono proclaimed, Though her smile seemed more strained than prideful, More lost than usual.

[F/N]'s laughter died down, Eyes catching the expression of Mrs. Ono. Her giddy smile almost slowing down to a halt.

Though she was broken out of it with the rapid tap of two fingers on her shoulder.

"Right then! Thanks for your time, Appreciate it, But we'll be on our way now!" Lewin said as he jumped up from his seat and stretched his arms up into the air, Near cracking his back. [F/N] blinked, Understanding the command as she followed Lewin up to her feet.

"Yes, Don't let me keep you.." Mrs. Ono stated as she shifted the documents on her table into the cream-front folder, Nudging it in as Lewin started to saunter out of the room, Poncho flowing behind him which [F/N] trailed eagerly.

"..[F/N]!"

Though, She stopped. Turning around to meet the source of the voice.

Mrs. Ono continued to smile, But it seemed different. It was sad, More forlorn as she looked [F/N] in the eyes with the most regretful gaze she had ever seen. [F/N] almost felt herself shrink, Almost meeting the womans gaze with the same remorse.

Ono's lip trembled for only a minute, Almost as if she was thinking over what she might say.

"..I know I haven't been able to provide you the help that you needed, I want you to know that I hope you find peace in whatever way that may be.. And I wish you the very best.. I hope that you find what you are looking for.. Good luck, [F/N]."

That was all Mrs. Ono said, The last words she spoke before she swivelled around in her chair, The back of it acting as a barrier between them now. It was silent, Only the sound of distant, Faraway laughing of the youth center's children somewhere deep inside of this place.

[F/N] didn't want to admit it, But she would miss every second of it. [F/N] didn't say anything either, She couldn't, Only look at the back of her chair, Shake her head before turning around to walk off with her new father.

She didn't look back again, Not once more. Because [F/N] knew that she was in too deep now, And there was no way she could ever go back.

Tati arrives around 4PM at the Copperdale library to meet Diego.

TATI: Hi. DIEGO: Hey. A short but awkward silence follows. TATI: So...what do you know about vampires? DIEGO: Not much...but I do know where a lot of them live. Have you heard of Forgotten Hollow? TATI: Yeah! Have you heard of Fruit Batz? They're my favorite band! My boyfriend doesn't like them--more of a BMTH fan. But, anyway! Their frontman Caleb Vatore is from there. DIEGO: Oh yeah, Fruit Batz! I love their second album 'bloodsuckerz'. Too bad Caleb quit after that. TATI: Oh my god yeah. He's basically a recluse now from what I've heard. DIEGO: The only thing I remember about him was that he was like, an out-vampire? Like he didn't hide that he was drinking plasma. TATI: Yeah! He was so punk rock for that. My favorite song was 'Love Like Winter'. Have you heard it? DIEGO: No. TATI: I have to show you it. One sec.

cw: implication of murder/violence

vlad's wiki bio

Count Vladislaus "Vlad" Straud IV (birthdate unknown), renowned musician and entrepreneur is the descendant of Count Vladislaus Straud I. His ancestor immigrated with a settling party and founded what became Forgotten Hollow. It remains a mystery what happened of the settlers, though there are many contested theories. Vlad is known for his charitable donations toward the Forgotten Hollow Symphony and his inheritance of his father's company Vladislaus Hardware.

Vlad was a notable organist on SNL in the 1980s. However, after an incident on Sims Night Live, he walked off set and never returned. It is unknown what triggered the incident nor is it known what happened to Miss Hell, that night's host, whom mysteriously disappeared for two weeks afterward.

His most recent public appearance was in a rare interview with The Copperdale Times in 2010. It was much discussed in online forums and Social Bunny, but he has not made an appearance since then. When asked about the SNL incident, or his relationship with former Fruit Batz band member Caleb Vatore, he laughed it off.

Notably, Vatore and Straud had a duel (as is vampiric custom) at sunset. Straud won, and now the Vatores hold a grudge against him. There is much speculation that the reason for this duel has to do with their differing beliefs about feeding on Sims.

Vlad is a well-known advocate for vampirism and is an out and about vampire. He believes it is the right of the vampire to feed on Sims as it is the right of the Sim to eat meat. When asked to clarify his position on consent of the Sim, he scoffed.

In the 1990s, Vlad was detained and arrested on suspicion of murder. A young man's body was found in the alley dumpster behind the well-known gay bar Martini. The young man had two bite marks on his thigh. It made international news when Vlad was acquitted of all charges.

DIEGO: There's been FOUR of them? I thought vampires were immortal... TATI: Hm. Do you think we should send Vlad an e-mail? Maybe an interview with him would be good for research? DIEGO: Yeah. I'll ask Mr. Flowers about it tomorrow. What better way to learn about a culture than from someone apart of it. TATI: Oh shoot. It's almost 7. My turn to make dinner. Gotta go! Let me know what Mr. Flowers say! DIEGO: Yeah! See ya! DIEGO (softly): Shit. Tati is out of earshot and on her way to her rusty truck and does not hear this.

Remus was to enthralled with the book sat in front of him to notice the door creaking open, and the soft foot prints that followed soon after. It wasn't until Y/n had whispered his name a few feet behind him, that he realized he had a, welcome, intruder. "Hi Lovie." He smiled, his eyes tried from reading for so long, eyelids hardly open as he searched from them in the dark of his room "Everything okay?" He asked, Y/n's breathing loud and uneven.

"Remmy?" They asked nervously, their hands playing with their pyjama shirt's hem.

"Yeah?" His actions and words were hesitant, unsure if Y/n was in little space or not, their previous conversation about how their roomates miss them, so they should sleep there instead of in the boy's room again.

"I, I had a nigh'mare." They whispered, slowly taking a few steps closer to Remus, his arms reaching out for Y/n, welcoming them into his embrace.

"Are you scared Lovie?" He whispered back, tucking their face into his neck as they nodded. "Okay, okay." He assessed the situation, lightly kissing their forehead before standing up. "Why don't we snuggle for a bit? Okay?" Y/n nodded as he lead them to his bed. "And then when the boys get back you can decide if you want to go back to your own room."

"No." Y/n whispered. "I wanna stay here tonight." Y/n turned to face him, their eyes welling with tears, just the thought of having to go scaring them once again.

"Okay that's fine, I'm sure the boys will be happy to have an extra snuggle buddy." He smiled, pulling off his sweater before uncovering the bed, Y/n happing going first, pulling the pillows into the right spots, making the blankets feel the right way.

"Wait!" They yelled.

"Here." Remus chuckled, the Bunny stuffed animal snatched out of his hands, the thing hanging on for dear life, the poor thing bough years ago, and never out of Y/n's hands long enough to be patched or washed.

"Than' you." Y/n smiled before nuzzling their nose into the worn fur, smiling as the ears flopped around.

+ + + + + +

Y/n was half asleep, head resting on Remus's arm, his long sleeve adorning a few wet droll patches from Y/n's tossing and turning, when the door opened, two very loud boys stumbling in. "Bunny?" Sirius whispered. "What are you doing here?" He asked, crouching down beside the bed, his hand soothing over their head, Y/n nuzzling closer.

"Go' scared." They whispered back, eyes still closed.

"Feeling small, are we?" James chimed in, grabbing the new kids book he found off his chest, making his way closer to the bed, climbing in and sitting at the foot of it, tapping Remus's legs obnoxiously to make him move them and get more room. "Will a book help?" He asked, already opening it.

"Yes!" Y/n perked up, Sirius scooching in next to them, his hand resting against Y/n's head, making sure it wasn't sat against the hard headboard. "'nd some snuggles?"

"And how do we ask?" Remus chimed in.

"With a please." Y/n finished his little 'song'. "Please some snuggles while we read?"

"Of course, Bunny, anything for you." Sirius smiled, wrapping himself around the group, legs sprawled out over everyone, arms flailing, the group laughing at the top of their lungs, a pretty good way to end a pretty scary night.

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls, Season 3, Episode 8, Part 4: "Let The Games Begin", the part where Lorelai says that if Jess was trapped inside her burning house she would save her shoes first

Lorelai Gilmore, you are no Jack Pearson. I won't complete that thought, even though I'm feeling nice and mean and I totally should.

Scene: Lorelai and Rory are discussing the upcoming road trip to New Haven with the Gilmore Grands. Rory forgot to pack. Lorelai goes into panic mode. Rory questions why she needs to pack her entire closet for a short road trip. Lorelai recounts a family vacation story from her childhood that would be best unpacked in a lengthy therapy session, frets that her mother will lecture them for under-packing, starts rummaging through Rory's dresser. Rory catches Lorelai making a double entendre about a meaty taco and declares it was dirty. The show makes another dig at New Haven after Lorelai brings home a pamphlet about Exciting Things to Do In New Haven but it's only a few pages long.

You sound surprised, as if ya'll aren't wearing heavy coats and long sleeves in the spring and summer. I swear there's something in the drinking water affecting everyone's thyroids in this town, they can't regulate their body temperatures.

Could anyone tell I'm stalling here? Classic Salty.

Rory: Mom, stop rummaging through my shit. Awwwe. Even Evil Villains like Lorelai Gilmore get the blues. I'm surprised she decided to go on this road trip to Yale instead of sending Rory off alone with the Grands, that way she'd have the house and Dean Forrester to herself the entire day. Since Dean's sexual stamina only extends to 1-2 minutes, they could have had sex hundreds of times in a day.

Two quips that sprang to mind (couldn't decided which one was better): The only words Lorelai is thinking about right now are "Dean" and "Shower". Lorelai thinks Jess removed Rory's bracelet while they're in the shower together? Jess could only hope.

Excuse me for a moment... *deep inhale*

I went into the Tumblr gifs library and looked up "peaceful". Here is a nice, presumably not-evil, Peaceful Bunny.

So not only does Jess commit attempted vehicular homicide, and steal Quarters on a String, he steals said QOAS by forcibly ripping them directly off the wrists of poor unsuspsecting delicate young ladies.

Nice try. You think you're so slick, but you're not, Slick Gilly.

You all don't understand the effort it takes for me to break down a scene like this without taking the cowards way out and simply rage quitting (which I have done before). I have to come up with multiple lines of witty, cutting commentary about what is unfolding before me, when all I want to do is KEYBORD SMASH. SO, YOU KNOW WHAT I WILL!! ITS A FREE COUNTRY ISNT IT! BALD EAGLE BASEBALL APPLE PIE! (Deep inhale) sagfshafgahfgasvxzcywtryqwuhajlkansjbkfagsfyafvabsfvsdgr2347527q2y4q#&$T%#^%^#*U@(%)&@tGSHFBSHFSVAGFSFS FUCKYOULORELAIGILMORE#^&#^%&#^WGHFSHGAS@$%@^@

Thank for reminding the audience the reason why Lorelai thinks Jess should, ya know, die painfully and slowly. He was mouthy once. (the Netflix captions borked the line; Rory also said "and wrecked my car", but as if that makes Lorelai's treatment of Future Nephew any more justifable).

I am told that in a later season, Lorelai bemoans the fact that unlike Dean, Jess never offered to change her water bottle for her. NOW WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? YOU'RE ABOUT TO WISH HIM A FIREY DEATH. AND WHEN HE WAS (FORCIBLY) APPOINTED TO CLEAN YOUR GUTTERS YOU DIDN'T WANT HIS HELP..

Lorelai practically moans this, lol. We know "Change the water bottle" can mean two very different things. You ain't so slick, Slick Gilly.

Welcome to Gaslighting and Emotional Manipulation Theater! See, here's the thing Slick Gilly, I watched an entire frigging episode about you accusing Jess of being a thief, it was called Lost and Found and it took me four frigging centuries to finish, I'm quite sure I have concrete evidence that you have accused him of stealing things. I am Jess Mariano's defense attorney and I will see you in court. Bring Rory too, she should also start getting used to what a court room looks like.

Rory, honey. Sweetie. Sugar bear. It's best you don't wish for a crystal ball. Just strap in to the rollercoaster that is dating Jess Mariano while living with your mother, and pray.

See, here's the thing Slick Gilly, I watched an entire frigging episode about you not letting Jess enter your house, it was called Swan Song and it will take me four frigging centuries to rewatch it.

This "Jess talks in grunts" shtick is getting old and moldy.

So not only does Jess commit attempted vehicular homicide, steal Quarters on a String, and steal said QOAS by forcibly ripipng them directly off the wrists of poor unsuspsecting delicate young ladies, but he's also an arsonist, and not only is he an arsonist, he's such a bad one that he'll apparently be killed by his handiwork? (he also can't be trusted to clean gutters). He was probably trying to off himself instead of live in Stars Hollow for another minute. Can we recall another time Rory tried to play this same grim hypothetical with her mom? Does Rory, like Jess, also have some kind of firey death wish? I mean, who can blame either of them. *twinkly flashback music to early season 2*

I notice Pigtails didn't say "my daughter" this time, either. Sorry Rory. Maybe try playing a third time until she answers with "Some form of human life." Lorelai lies to Rory's face that she "promised you before and am promising you again that I will cut "this kid" some slack." Alright, I ran through my 30 screen shots, let's stuff this scene in a sack and throw it into the lake with Shane and her swan family.

Rory: "You're just waiting for the day I break up with Jess." Lorelai The Villain: "Did I like Dean? Yes. Did I worry less when you were with dean? Yes! I never expected you to be with Dean forever. I don't expect you to be with Jess forever." What a pile of rancid baloney. Maybe he won't be with Rory forever, but 13 years later Jess becomes her nephew and will be a part of her family forever and I will never, ever, ever stop loving that. What JUSTICE.

When I hit my lowest of low valleys listening to this wretched woman spew her many lies and Gilly-Nonsense, It's often the only thing that makes me smile.

✧ ˚ · .

you were the first friend soobin made at university. it was welcome week, freshman year and of course you approached him. how could he walk up to someone like you first? you were so pretty, kind to strangers and just overall lighting up every room you walked into. he had seen you in a few different spots on campus before you made the effort to talk to him. he just watched your every move, kinda like eye candy. always admiring you from afar.

“hey, you’re the boy from the gaming cafe right? soobster553?” you spoke to him as he sat in the library reading.. bunny girl senpai manga? he followed your line of sight, closing the book and turning it face down. “uh, yeah? that’s me” he nervously responded. “you left your shit logged in, don’t worry i closed everything out for you” taking a seat next to him you went on “bunny girl senpai? what is that?” you asked, actually interested. “it’s a manga” he simply said. “yeah, no shit i can see that” your crude language got the boy flashing his signature bunny smile. “you know, you kinda look like a bunny” the boy smiled even wider. 

you introduced soobin to your friend group and he practically followed you everywhere like a puppy. it was cute though, you didn’t mind. soobin was sweet, respectful and always looked out for you. you two were total opposites and that’s exactly why you clicked.

✧ ˚ · .

fast forward to your junior year and you laid on his bed, hanging your head upside down trying to get your best friend’s attention. “soooob come on, i’m bored” you whined. he took his headset off and deadpanned at you. “you’re playing video games, ignoring me, and i can’t even see the screen because your big ass is in the way” you whined once more. 

soobin wanted you in his bed and whining but not under these circumstances. he makes a mental note to be more specific with his manifestations next time. “y/n you ever heard of parallel play? now all of a sudden you wanna watch me play league?” he looked at you squinting his eyes, not believing a damn thing you had to say. “no but, i'm out of options for entertainment soooo” you trailed off and walked over to his desk. 

soobin took the hint and moved over an inch in his gaming chair, a poor attempt to make room for you. you frowned at his stupidity. “soob do you see this ass?” he didn’t know if he was supposed to look or not but he did anyway, respectfully. “i’m not fitting in that tiny space to sit” you plopped down on his lap. soobin froze and went wide eyed, not knowing where to put his hands. he held his breath as you shifted and leaned your back against his chest to get comfortable. “is this alright?” you turned your head back a bit, breath fanning his cheek. “yeah, ‘ts fine” he barely whispered

“you were off your game today soob. hopefully when you teach me how to play, you carry your team like usual” you say to him as you bid your goodbyes. “y/n you’re fucking mean to me you know?” he jokes with you. “yeah yeah, im such a bitch whatever you probably call me worse to your guy friends” you joke back, playfully pushing his shoulder. “i would never. see you next week loser” he hugs you tight, squeezing your waist. “see you soob” and with that he’s closing his apartment door, letting out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. 

going back to his gaming chair, he immediately pulls up his porn tab and gets to work. putting his hand down his pajama pants and thinking of none other than you. your hair smelled so good and it was the only thing he could focus on thus fucking up multiple rounds in league of legends. he got such a good view of your ass today. it was only a split second or two but who’s counting? 

soobin wanted to fondle you, put his face in it. shit he wanted you to sit on his face. it’s a miracle he was able to control himself with you sitting on his clothed cock. as his fist pumped up and down his shaft, he envisioned your small hands, and your fucking teasing voice. you. you. you. anything that was you, would get him off. “fuck y/n. right there princess. please. fuck” he croaked. “soooob come on” he recalled your innocent whining from earlier and using it for something so sinister. 

that did it for him and he spurted his white streams of cum onto his hand and pants. he didn’t stop there. no, of course not. he milked himself until he was whining and tears were brimming his eyes. when he finally opened his eyes to witness the mess he made, he sighed in frustration. what would you think of him, knowing that he just choked his dick to every innocent interaction you had today? you’d probably hate him, tell your friends what a fucking freak nasty pervert he was. even go as far as never talking to him ever again. he couldn’t stomach the thought of it. 

✧ ˚ · .

“he told me i was the prettiest girl he’s ever seen and he said it like he meant it” you gushed about how you and taehyun have been texting each other lately. which was not in anyway romantic, it’s so obvious the guy was trying to get in your pants. apparently he was taking you out on a date tonight and you wanted to get all your jitters out beforehand so you called soobin over. 

he had to listen to you go on and on about his friend when he so desperately wanted it to be him. “i’m sorry, my room is a wreck. i wanted to wear my pink dress but taehyun seems like he’d like the black one more but i couldn’t find the black one and-” jesus fuck you were a nervous rambling mess. “fuck, i forgot to put on eyeliner” you ran to the bathroom, shutting the door behind you. 

truth is, you looked so sexy in that pink dress. fuck what taehyun liked, what about what soobin liked? you wore it with pretty thigh harnesses, and dainty jewelry. the baby pink aesthetic for something so adult and whore-like drove him crazy. he couldn’t think about being mad at taehyun when all he could think about was taking you there, and ruining you til you couldn’t babble anything but variations of his name.

soobin scanned your messy room and pink lace sticking out of your top drawer piqued his interest. he looked at the closed bathroom door, making sure there was no sign of you. once the coast was clear, he went to the drawer and pulled out the lacey fabric. there was no time to examine it, he stuffed them deep in his pocket for later.

“i promise i’ll tell you all about it when i get back” you sincerely told him. “i can’t wait, i hope you have fun” soobin was bitter as fuck. he kept the smile as much as he could but how could you? how could you possibly choose his friend over him?

✧ ˚ · .

soobin wasted no time pulling your pink lace panties out of his pocket as soon as he got home. sniffing them like all of the oxygen on planet earth was running out. he laid on his bed, once again pulling his cock out to the thought of you. he fisted the fabric and pushed it up to his nose as far as he could, inhaling and exhaling. he choked his dick and thought of you in that pink dress from earlier. he wanted to cum all over it, ruin it so you couldn’t see taehyun. better yet taehyun see you stained with his love, make him back off and be taken by who you belonged to. soobin.

“god you fucking bitch. picking taehyun over me, he’s nothing. i could fuck you so much better than him mmm” he moaned and spat as he sped his hand up. “y/n. y/n. ugh fuck. please baby” he began saying your name over and over again. he put the fabric over the tip of his dick while cumming, completely soiling it. 

the act of ruining your panties without your knowledge riled him up even more. soobin looked at your stolen item in awe. he wanted- no. he needed more.

✧ ˚ · .

“the date was fine but i don’t think we’re gonna work out” you broke the news to soobin and his ears perked up. “really? how come” he bit back a smile. “ahhh i dunno. it kinda just felt like he wanted to sleep with me. i know that’s your friend and all but i’m looking for an actual boyfriend these days” you explained it pretty clearly. atta girl, so smart and always coming to your senses. soobin just nodded his head in understandment. in reality he was over the fucking moon. he needed to do something to celebrate. 

you fell asleep during the movie night like always, your backside pressed up against soobin. he laid there stiff, weighing his options of dry humping you into oblivion while you slept or just going in your room to steal another pair of your panties. you were so pretty, even when you slept. perfect pouty lips, wet from your slight drool. your strands of hair blowing faintly from your breathing. god it wouldn’t be fair to take you like this, that’s beyond wrong. you’re his friend, he can’t take advantage of you like that. 

he got up ever so softly and quietly to not wake you. shuffling into your room, he went straight for your drawer like last time. this time, he opened it fully and boy was he in heaven. different colors, fabrics, and designs all with your signature scent. your hint of laundry detergent and your everyday perfume that he couldn’t get enough of. 

he shuffled his hands through the entire drawer then picked up a handful. soobin was playing a dangerous game but he couldn’t bring himself to think straight. he brought the bundle to his nose and deeply inhaled your faint aroma almost immediately sporting a boner. he let out a pathetic whimper in response to the delectable scent that he couldn’t get enough of. 

“what the fuck are you doing?” soobin almost jumped out his skin seeing you in the doorway. how long have you been standing there? why didn’t he hear you get up? probably too pussy drunk to notice his surroundings.

“are you sniffing my panties? is that why my pink lace one is missing?!” you slowly walked up toward him. oh no, you’re fucking angry at him. “no? i swear, i don’t have them” was all soobin could say and his lie was so bad, not even he believed it. you snatched the bundle of underwear from him. “you’re a fucking pervert! have you been doing this the whole time? i thought you were my friend!” you yelled at him some more which turned him on beyond belief. once he locked eyes with you, he instantly regretted everything. you were crying. “get out. i’m fucking serious, go. don’t ever talk to me again” you uttered the sentence soobin had been terrified of hearing. 

what the fuck did he just do?
