Did anyone else notice this in Am I Original?

Logan: Well I've always had my doubts on creating something entirely original, but I'm no defeatist

Virgil looks hurt, and slowly looks away.

Roman: Thanks everyone... well, almost everyone

Virgil quickly looked away from Roman after that comment, once again looking hurt.

Thomas: I just have to stop doubting myself so much

For the third time in a row, Virgil looks hurt and quickly sinks out without saying anything.

No one noticed how he hurt was, or that he quietly sank out. So much is said in his silence.

The funny thing about fairytales is that there are no consequences that heroes have to face, that by the time they get back home everything is better.

"Once upon a time, a wicked witch/wizard turned a young Monarch into a dragon and cursed the kingdom to experience decade of drought.

The Monarch's closest friends, the Prime Minister and the Knight Captain went to search for a way to break the curse and turn the Monarch back, leaving behind their young spouses behind.

Half a decade later, they returned as heroes of the land, having killed the witch/wizard. But when they reached the capital all three were imprisoned for abandonment of family, and official duties in the time of need that had been then assigned to their spouses.

Spouses competent enough to work around the curse, influential enough to make the jobs theirs and angry enough to make their stupider counterparts feel true fear."

Now that's the fairytale I want.

Hello ! This being my first post I am not actually expecting any response but for anyone who is interested, this was inspired alot by the modern typewriter.

While Young Hero is a recently promoted sidekick in their third year of college (or university as some call it) Henchman is a slum kid who has been working as a hired thug to support themselves before earning a scholarship.

The genders are up to the readers imagination. So please enjoy!

Young Hero wasn't sure exactly how they ended up in this situation. One moment they were breaking into an apartment in which a woman seemed to be screaming. The very next they were caught in Villains newest trap.

Outside the small cage they had literally stepped into, Villan started a monologue about how they had captured Hero's precious partner and something about bait. But it was the henchman besides them, probably the one they had heard screaming, who Young Hero was paying attention to , or more exactly glaring at. Half hidden by the shadows, they were actually snickering into their hand while looking at the captive!It was so embarrassing! They were a hero not a sidekick, well above being kidnapped as bait or being laughed at by a low thug! Not that they wanted Sidekick to be captured bit still. Their rep was being ruined!

"Now Henchman". Villain said, drawing Young Hero's attention. " While I plan how to lure in Hero, why don't you show Young Hero some hospitality." They said with a grin. Then turning back to exit the room they ordered "Make them scream ".

The cold words sent a shiver down Young Hero's spine as they turned to glare at Henchman again. Setting their jaw while looking at the power nullifying bars of the cage they said "I am not going to beg if that's what you're after. Nor will I be telling you anything. So do your worst". They didn't say they wouldn't scream. Experience had made it clear that it was better to scream that suffer in silence.

" Um, how bout no?" Said Henchman as they came closer to the cage, bringing into focus a young, intelligent face and a lithe but well defined body, that was clearly visible throughout their tight black clothes. But before Young Hero's mind could dive into the gutter (damn teenage hormones) they continued "See it's my last day at the job, and I really don't wanna go to jail. But if you don't scream Boss will come in to check what's up. So how about a deal? You scream like I'm ripping out your nails or something, and in half an hour I'll unlock you and later tell Boss that you somehow escaped n knocked me out. How does that sound, hmm? You don't get beaten up and I don't get into trouble. "

Tha-that was actually a really good offer. One too good to be true. With this thought in mind Young Hero asked,"And why would you want to take the easy way out when you can easily beat me up instead? And please don't say it's out of the goodness of your heart. Villain likes to hire only the 'experienced' people. " And good looking too Young Hero added discreetly checking out Henchman's muscular arms." Because" they said "Villain may get caught with this plan, and as I just mentioned, it's my last day on the job and I don't wanna get caught." And then with a roguish grin added,"Well that and because I don't wanna mess up that pretty face ".

"Pret - pretty!? My face is not- oh stop laughing! "

Xx---xX

'Yesterday was so embarrassing' though Young Hero to as they made their way to their apartment. After Henchman had helped them escape, though not without a few more flirty comments about making Young Hero scream in an ,ahem, different way, they had to explain to Hero not only why they didn't finish petrol on time but also exactly how they escaped, resulting in a long lecture that ended with them being really late for their first day of them tutoring a new kid who had been at his door for an hour before Young Hero mailed them to enter the place using the key under the door mat. And what was worse was that this student was here on a scholarship and actually interested in studies. 'Well at least things can only go up from here' Were their thoughts as they opened the door, only to see Henchman sitting on their couch.

'Shit, shit, shit, double shit' though Young Hero as Henchman turned to them with a dark look on their face. But before they could open their mouth, Young Hero already had them lying on their back, pinned between the couch and their body. "How did you find me?"they hissed in their ear expecting a cocky comeback. Instead Henchman shivered while letting out a squeaky "What?!"

And now Young Hero had an extremely shaken ex-henchman in his apartment who was busy grumbling about idiotic heroes turning out to be hot tutors and disastrous first days while Young Hero sat opposite to them on the floor wondering exactly how they ended up in this situation.
