With the prompt list, how about someone seeing MK with Monkie King with number 15?
Picking prompts back up with a nice dose of Dad Wukong! I needed some fluff! This is set in *shrug* post-season 2 because despite us only having 2 episodes so far Iâm going to pretend season 2 wraps up just enough to give us a hook for a possible 3rd season but everyone is doing ok. For now. I just want everyone in the show to be safe and happy dang it!
Oh god, youâre just like your dad.
"Where to next?" MK asked, looking around the shopping district in excitement. It had taken him so long to convince Sun Wukong to actually join him on a day of just hanging out, outside of a couple short trips to the Anti-Gravity Arcade, and he wanted to cram as much into the day as humanly possible. "Video game store? Cheese tea stall? The new bakery, th-!?"
"Whoa, Bud, slow down!" Wukong eased with a smile. "We have all day. We can go wherever."
"And youâre sure youâre doing good?" Despite the Monkey King's soft tone, MK couldn't help but practically vibrate in equal parts excitement and worry. "There aren't too many people or anything?"
His concerns weren't unwarranted. Sun Wukong had been nearly completely isolated for centuries, company kept only with the monkeys of his mountain home and the odd outing into the world outside. And, of course, online correspondence with his lawyer after a time. Typically he was transformed in some way, a butterfly or bird or cat or something easy to blend in, and though he had made a couple short stops in a human disguise in the past. A quick drink here, a bun or fruit cup there. Nothing that required more than a quick transaction, however.
Now he was in the city, WĂ n QiÄn ChĂŠng, in that human disguise and staying around. In jeans and a t-shirt and jacket (that MK was genuinely shocked to know he owned, until he realized that they were all branded Monkey King merchandise... including his jeans). Surrounded by people and cars and all manner of things the Monkey King would typically avoid. Despite the gradual introduction to being out and about MK was trying to ease him into, he couldn't help but worry that it would be overwhelming.
"Like I told you before, I'm doing fine!" Wukong put a hand in MK's hair, ruffling it gently with a soft smile.The sudden contact was... well, not that unusual actually. Nor was it unwelcome. The Monkey King always seemed to be a tactile person after all. "But, uh, now that I think about it I am getting kind of hungry. There was a little food stall pretty close by that Iâve been to a few times..."
âOh, yeah!â MK exclaimed in glee, any place that his mentor frequented (however rarely) must be somewhere nice and he absolutely wanted to experience that! âLead the way!â
Wukong laughed at MKâs exuberant response, smile softening as he indeed lead the way. âItâs, uh... actually the only place Iâve gone to for food when Iâm checking in on you. So donât be surprised, theyâre going to recognize me.â
Ah, that made sense in MKâs mind. Had this been a few weeks ago MK might have been surprised to know that he was being checked in on, Heck, if this was before the Lunar New Year festival he would called anyone who told him a liar. Sun Wukong was not protective of him and he always left MK on his own because he trusted him!
And that last statement was very correct. Wukong did trust MK, more than enough. He knew he could handle just about anything that he would have gotten thrown at him. But not protective was a lie. Maybe it was Macaque, or maybe it was the Spider Queen, but after a while something in his mentor changed. He went from being aloof but helpful to being nearly non-existent (and when MK learned exactly what he had actually been doing he was not happy) and then âIâm just checking in, Bud, my dude, my student who I am not at all protective of what are you talking aboutâ upon his return from his âvacationâ.
Wukong trusted his student to handle himself. But that didnât mean he didnât worry about him now that the full extent of the danger he had put him in was known. And while some parts of it had been frustrating at times (he had been way too eager to stay at the Noodle Shop at first for Pigsyâs liking) it was kind of nice to have him around in just a casual way. Like when they watched the fireworks.
But beside that point, they finally arrived at the food stall. It was a street vendor, the booth decked out in bright colors and rows of food on offer, mostly...
âBaozi, should have known,â MK chuckled. The Monkey King didnât make a lot of food at his home, but he made more than enough. Baozi was one of his favorites. âWell, they have got to be good if you keep coming back!â
âTheyâre not the only reason!â Wukong replied as they stepped up, the lady vendor doing a double take before smiling wide at him. âHey!â
âMr. Cheung!â She smiled wide, turning her full attention to the customers. âWell isnât this a pleasant surprise, youâre a day early! Would you like your usual vegetarian order again?â
âYes, please!â Wukongâs smile was wide, and if his tail had not been wrapped around his waist MK was certain it would have been swishing wildly. Heâd clearly gained some kind of rapport with the vendor of this stall if they were on a âhuman disguise nameâ basis. âAnd, uh, something for my bud here too. Doesnât have to be vegetarian for him though.â
âIâll take whatever you think is tasty!â MK stated excitedly, nearly bouncing on his heels in the spot.
"Oh god, youâre just like your dad," the vendor laughed out with a smile as she turned away from them, and Wukong froze beside MK in response.
MK froze in response.
The Monkie Kid was almost certain he had never seen his mentor go this still. Ever.
" Oh no, he's n-"
"He is, huh!? Peach doesn't fall far from the tree!" Wukong laughed almost giddily and almost excessively loud, suddenly wrapping an arm around MK's shoulder and reaching around with his other arm to ruffle his hair once again. âHeâs kind of embarrassed anytime someone points that out.â
MK could hear the vendor chuckling and responding with something else, but he couldnât really understand it as he mulled over what Sun Wukong had just said.
âHe is, huh!?â
He didnât deny the vendorâs assumption at all. He just... went with it. Sun Wukong... just went with someone assuming MK was his son...
He barely paid attention when they were handed their food, the vendor insisting that since he was such a loyal customer that it was free of charge for finally introducing his son to her. Wukong did not deny it again, making pleasant conversation for a short while before they headed off. Wukongâs free hand was firm on his back as he led him away.
âBud?â Wukong said once they were out of earshot, his tone oddly soft and uncertain for someone of his status. âThat uh... I mean... you see... I wasnât expecting her to just...â
âHave you been bragging about me like Iâm your kid to a street vendor every time to check up on me?â MK asked softly, unable to keep the hopeful tone out of his voice.
â... maybe?â
â... you adopted me and you didnât tell me?â MK asked with half joking offense in his tone, pointing his baozi at his mentor. He couldnât keep the smile off his face as he said it.
And it seemed that somehow the combination of the way he said that and his exuberant expression drove the Monkey King into a fit of laughter that drew the attention of many passersby.
(The baozi were, as expected of a place that Sun Wukong would frequent, some of the best that MK had ever tasted in his life. Though, perhaps, they were made all the tastier knowing that he was eating them with someone who he had long secretly considered a father figure to him who had seemingly adopted him without meaning to.)

Longest Night (50) Celebrating
Here we go! The last chapter! And itâs a doozy!Â
I donât know about the rest of you guys, but I grew up calling all of my parents friendâs âauntâ and âuncleâ. Some of them I still do. Which was really fun when I dated a family friend and kept calling his mom âAunt Julieâ. We are not related. Fun times!
Also, thereâs some nicknames in this chapter. âPeepumsâ is Tom. âNonnie Chengâ is Sabine. And âNonna Ginaâ is Tomâs mom. You know how grandparents all have their weird nicknames.Â

20 years later
â
When Marinette awoke that morning, she was alone in bed. It wasnât that odd. Adrien had always been an early riser, but this was a different reason than just that.Â
But she didnât worry. It was best just to leave things the way they were.Â
Dressing in a robe, she went downstairs to start making breakfast. The kids were old enough to get ready on their own now, and as long as they were down before 7, she didnât bug them.Â
The first into the kitchen was the youngest, Emma. A complete girly-girl and lover of all things pink and fashionable. Even at 12, she had her own sophisticated sense of style (party cultivated by her grandfather). She danced in her pink dress and adorable white flats. âWhat do you think, mama? Perfect for career day? Do I look like a professional?âÂ
âOf course you do, sweetheart.âÂ
She beamed. âWhereâs papa?âÂ
âOh, uh, Iâm not sure. He couldnât sleep last night, so he went for patrol. He hasnât been back yet.âÂ
Emma frowned hard. âHeâll be there for career day though, right?âÂ
âHe wouldnât miss it for the world! But Peepums and Grandfather Gabriel are going to be there too.âÂ
âIs Peepums bringing treats?âÂ
âI would assume so. He never passes up a chance to bring snacks. Now, Iâm making crepes, you want one or two?âÂ
âJust one, mama.âÂ
âAlright.âÂ
The next down the stairs was the oldest (by two minutes) Hugo. âMorning mama,â he smiled brightly.Â
âThereâs my birthday boy! Feel any older?âÂ
âNo, but I feel wiser!â He joked, as he jumped on the stool by the counter.Â
âWhereâs Louis?âÂ
âStuck in the toilet.âÂ
âAnd you mean that figuratively, right?â
He shrugged. âWhatâs for breakfast?â
âCrepes, blueberry, your favorite.âÂ
âYes! I want five!âÂ
âYou can have three, I donât want you to get a tummy ache before school.âÂ
âLame! Bring on the crepes!â He pounded his fists on the counter.Â
âThree, and then if you arenât stuffed, Iâll consider more.âÂ
Then came the unmistakable sound of a body slowly falling down the stairs, before a dark haired teen crawled across the floor and collapsed next to his motherâs legs.Â
âAh, Birthday boy part 2. Welcome to the land of the living!âÂ
âIt should be a crime to have to wake up early on your birthday.â Said the boy, face flat against the ground.
âYou truly are my child,â said Marinette with a smile.Â
âWhereâs pops?â Asked Hugo, digging into his second crepe.Â
âOut on patrol.âÂ
This caused Louis to stir and look up. âDid something happen?â
âNo, he just couldnât sleep.âÂ
Hugo frowned. âNightmares again? Heâs been having those a lot lately.âÂ
âYeah. Iâm not sure why heâs having them. But you kids donât need to worry about it.âÂ
âAre we still okay for our party tomorrow?âÂ
âOf course!â Marinette beamed. âEven if papa wasnât feeling great, weâd still have it! Aunt Chloe reserved the rooftop pool for you, after all.â
ââŚIâm so excited,â said the child on the floor, with no enthusiasm. âYou just canât tell right now.â
âWell, youâre not going to get any rest on the floor. Sit in your seat and eat your crepe. Iâll make a little coffee.âÂ
ââŚyayâŚâÂ
â
Emma bounced nervously in her seat. She was flanked by Tom and Gabriel, who had both already presented for career day.Â
The day was almost over, and her father hadnât shown.Â
âItâs okay, my little cupcake.â Tom assured, petting her blonde hair. âHeâll be here.âÂ
âAnd if he doesnât make it,â added Gabriel, âIt wasnât because he didnât want to. Heâs probably out there stopping a criminal, saving lives. I know youâre the most important thing in the world to him.âÂ
Emma nodded, believing both of her grandfathers, but also not wanting to be one without a dad on career day.Â
Through the years, Emma had gotten used to her fatherâs unpredictable behavior. He loved her to the end of the world and back, and would move mountains for her if he could. And most days, it really really showed.Â
But some days, he just wasnâtâŚthere. Emotionally, spiritually, or like today, physically. Her mother had similar episodes, but mostly in mood swings. She got angry sometimes, seemingly over nothing. Never directed at Emma or her brothers, thankfully, but Emma knew that there was something different about her parents.Â
She knew the story. She had been told pieces of it growing up, but never allowed to watch the footage. Mama and Papa had been kidnapped and tortured, because they were superheroes, and they were never the same after. The details were vague, and she was told it would be too scary for her to handle every time she asked. But she saw the scars, heard her fatherâs screams at night.Â
Most days, she didnât want to know.
âAlright! I think thatâs everyone!â Miss Bustier called. âThank you all for participating in our career day! Itâs awesome that we have such a wide range of jobs just in this very room!âÂ
Emma deflated. Her father really wasnât coming.Â
Tom laid a giant hand on her head and rubbed.Â
But then, there was a knock at the window.Â
âChat Noir?â Miss Bustier asked.Â
The man in black waved as she opened the window.Â
âSo so sorry Iâm late!â He apologized, hopping into the room. âI caught a robber, and I walked him down to the police station and we had to do all this paperworkââÂ
âPapa!â Emma shouted, leaping over her desk. She ran to him, and threw her arms around him in a crushing hug. âYou made it!â
âJust in time it seems,â he laughed, hugging her back. âIâm sorry Iâm late. Can you forgive me?â
âOf course! Come on, itâs your turn to present!â She took his hand and led him up to the front of the room. âEveryone, this is my dad, Chat Noir! Heâs a superhero!âÂ
â
The next day was Saturday, and Marinette was full of stress up to her neck. She paced poolside, as her family helped set up for the party.Â
âAlright, Ninoâs on music, Alyaâs on Emma duty, Chloe covered catering, mom and dad have the cake, Gabriel and Emilie have decorationsâŚwhat am I missing?â
âMy Lady, youâve gone over this list a hundred times. Weâre fine.âÂ
âDrinks! I forgot the drinks!âÂ
Adrien pointed over at the bar. âLuka and Kagami are on drinks, remember? Lukaâs making his mimosas for the adults.â
âOh, right.â Then she pointed at him. âNo alcohol, alright? Not with your medication.âÂ
âOh come on, these are Lukaâs mimosas! Iâm gonna get krunk!âÂ
âDadâs gonna get krunk?â Asked Hugo, from the pool.Â
âNo one is getting krunk!â Marinette poked Adrien in the chest. âLook what you started!âÂ
âIâm only teasing.â Adrien laughed, taking his wifeâs hand. âRelax My Lady, itâs a party, a sweet 16 party! Everyoneâs here to have fun. And they will as long as we relax.âÂ
Marinette got close, whispering conspiratorially, âthatâs just the thing! Do you remember our sweet sixteen parties?âÂ
âWell...I didnât have a party,â Adrien shrugged. âYou, Alya, and Nino helped me escape the house and we went to the movies.âÂ
âYeah, and they spent the whole time making out, so you and I just sat there awkwardly.âÂ
âI think I put my arm around you,â he grinned. âMy very good friend.âÂ
She stuck her tongue out at him.
âAnd your sixteenth...was that the year that Lila told everyone it was on a different day?âÂ
âAnd you were the only one who called to confirm it was on the original day, and so you were the only one that showed? Yep, thatâs the one. I cried on you for 15 minutes when I realized no one else was coming.âÂ
âI mean, yeah, that sucked, but we still had fun with your family.âÂ
âMy point is, this is Hugo and Louisâ sixteenth birthday. I want them to have a good one, to have what we couldnât have.âÂ
âYou have their gifts in your purse, right?âÂ
âYeah?âÂ
���Then I wouldnât worry about it. Their friends and family are coming, everything looks good, so just relax.âÂ
Marinette took a deep sigh. âYouâre right, my love. Whatever happens, happens, and weâve done all we can.âÂ
âThe party will be fine, Mom.â Said Louis from a lounge chair.Â
âAh! Louis? Why arenât you in the pool?âÂ
âIâm perfectly content just relaxing here. Iâll get hot soon enough and go in the pool.âÂ
âAre you sure?âÂ
Adrien wrapped an arm around his wife. âMarinette, let him alone. Heâs fine. You know heâs our introvert.âÂ
âMama! Papa!â Emma called, running towards them from the hotel elevator. âLook at the swimsuit grandfather Gabriel got me!â She twirled, letting the shimmery, glittery greens, teals, and purples swirl in a kaleidoscope of color. âI look like a mermaid!âÂ
âYou sure do, Princess!â Adrien beamed.Â
Emma squealed in delight before running back to Alya.Â
âSee? All of our kids are enjoying themselves. The guests are slowly trickling in...â he gestured to the elevator where more classmates with gifts arrived. âAnd no catastrophes yet.âÂ
âFine fine, Kitty, I get it. Iâll have a mimosa and lighten up.âÂ
âHave one for me too!â He called after, as she headed to the bar.Â
Soon, the guests arrived. Hugo and Louis had invited their entire class of 18 kids. Some parents stayed to help with chaperoning, and some even brought younger siblings that were friends with Emma.Â
It was turning out to be a real shin-dig.Â
So far, Marinette felt at ease. The four parents that had stayed were mostly just hanging out at the bar, but the kids were in the pool, and no one was drowning.Â
Louis still reclined on the lounger, sunning himself.Â
âYou're still doing okay over here, kiddo?âÂ
âMom, Iâm doing so okay. So okay, itâs ridiculous. Nonna Gina brought me over a virgin mimosa, cause everyoneâs talking about them. I feel like Iâm on vacation.âÂ
âAs long as youâre content, Iâm happy. Just wanted to make sure you werenât feeling left out.âÂ
âNah,â he waved her off. âI will go swimming, but Iâm going to wait until after eating.âÂ
âOkay, kiddo.âÂ
Seeing Hugo happily enthralled in a cannonball contest, and Louis sunning himself like a cat, she decided to check in with her youngest. Though she saw Alya at the bar talking to Kagami, and Emma nowhere in sight.Â
This used to make her panic immediately. None of her kids were especially hyper or rambunctious. They didnât run off on their own, especially without letting her know.Â
But there was still a fear, still a niggling doubt in the back of her head that said âwhat ifâ?Â
As calm as possible, she approached the adults at the bar, and asked Alya. âHave you seen Emma?â
âShe ran down to the lobby to use the bathroom,â Alya answered casually.Â
âAlone?â
âYeah, Marinette, sheâs 12. She can handle going to the bathroom alone.â It was a reassurance, no judgement. Because sometimes, Adrien and Marinette needed a reminder that their children were well adjusted and had plenty of common sense.
Marinette knew that. And it wasnât the bathroom part she was concerned about. It was the trip down to the lobby by herself.Â
She heard a father speak softly, âfor superheroes, they are certainly overprotective of their kids. Kind of feel sorry for them.âÂ
Marinette nodded at Alya, and retreated sheepishly. Was her paranoia ruining her childrenâs lives?Â
âWhatâs with that look, My Lady?â Adrien asked, softly, sipping on his drink.Â
âSorry, sorry, I justâŚoverheard something I shouldnât dwell on.â She looked at the drink in his hands, narrowing her eyes.Â
âItâs virgin!â He handed it to her. âI promised I was going to quit. Getting plastered at our kidâs birthday would be the worst time for them to find out I have a problem.âÂ
âItâs not a problem yet, but thatâs why I want you to stop. So it doesnât become one.â
âHey! Let go Isaac!â Louisâ voice carried over the water. Instantly, Marinette and Adrien were alert and looked to see a larger boy pulling Louis toward the pool by the arm.Â
âHey!â Marinette called out. âLet him go! If he doesnât want to go swimming, donât force him!âÂ
âOh come on, Lady!â The father from the bar shouted over to her. âWhatâs the point in having a pool party for your boys if they arenât even going to go swimming!?â
SPLASH
Louis surfaced with a gasp, and then a defeated âaw man!âÂ
âAre you okay kiddo?â Marinette asked. âYou didnât have your phone on you, right?â
âNo, Iâm fine.â He took off his soaked shirt and dropped it on the edge of the pool with a loud plop. âJustâŚdidnât want to get wet yet.âÂ
âDude, come on Isaac, donât be such a turd!â Hugo chastised.Â
âHe looked lonely!â Isaac argued.Â
âWhatever,â Louis said, defeated. âJustâŚdonât dunk me, okay?âÂ
âNo promises!â
Adrien frowned at the exchange as Louis swam over closer to his brother. âIsaac, Isaac, why is that name familiar? Is that the kid thatâs been picking on Louis? Why is he here?âÂ
âOh,â Marinette smacked her head. âThatâs what they were asking about!âÂ
âWhat? Who?âÂ
âA few weeks ago, the boys were asking me questions about what to do about a classmate people donât get along with. They asked if they should include them in the party if they were inviting the rest of the class. I told them that would be the right thing to do, but I didnât realize they were talking about Louisâ bully!â She groaned. âAnd it looks like the apple doesnât fall far from the tree.â She glared at Isaacâs dad at the bar.Â
Adrien smiled over at the pool. Both Hugo and Louis were laughing and seemed to be having a good time. It seemed Louis was already over his impromptu dunking. âOur kids are resilient. Itâll take more than that to bring them down.âÂ
âThey are strong.â Marinette breathed. âStronger than me.âÂ
It was then that Emma returned. âHi mama, Iâm back. Aunt Alya said I should check in with you because you were worried? Iâm sorry I didnât tell you where I was going.âÂ
Marinette smiled at her. âItâs fine Emma. You told Aunt Alya, so someone knew. You just know Iâm a basket case.âÂ
Emma frowned at her mom. âYouâre not a basket case. Youâre just...worried?âÂ
âDoes that bother you? Do I make you feel trapped or smothered?âÂ
Adrien stared at his wife in horror. Likewise, so did Emma. âNo! Not at all!â She hugged her around the waist and added, âNonnie Cheng worries about where I am too. She says itâs because you went missing, and itâs scared her ever since. I donât want to scare you, mom.âÂ
Marinette hugged Emma tightly and said, âI have the best kids in the world.âÂ
âIn that case,â Emma grinned. âCan I have some soda?âÂ
âSure, just tell Aunt Kagami what you want.â
âThanks mom!â She beamed and scurried off.Â
âAnd no running!â Marinette called after. âGirlâs got my clumsy streak. Sheâll break her neck.âÂ
âCrisis averted it seems.â Said Adrien.Â
âFor now,â Marinette narrowed her eyes. âBut Ladybug never rests!âÂ
Adrien pecked his wife on the lips. âSomeone has to be responsible.âÂ
âHey pops!â Hugo called from the pool.Â
âWhatâs up?âÂ
âWeâre going to do a diving contest! You should join!âÂ
âYeah!âÂ
âCome on Mr. Dupain-Cheng!âÂ
âShow us some Chat Noir style!âÂ
Marinette nudged him. âGo ahead. Show those kids how itâs done.âÂ
He smirked. âOkay okay.â He took off his shirt and laid it on the lounger by their bags. Then he entered the pool from the shallow end, coming up behind the kids. âHow does this diving contest work?âÂ
âItâs easy!â Said Hugo, âweâre going to take turns coming up with unique ways to jump in the pool. Winner is the best technique, or most creative.â
âI got one!â Said a chubby kid. He climbed out of the pool and up on the diving board.Â
âMake room!â Someone called. âCannon ball champion on the loose!âÂ
âThis is called âThe Patrick Starâ!â He bounced twice, getting real air before leaping out, parallel with the water, arms and legs spread out like a starfish.Â
And he collided with the water with a resounding clap, making everyone go, âooo!âÂ
The kid surfaced, his entire frontside pink. âOw.âÂ
The rest of the class laughed at him.Â
One by one, classmates would come up with a dive, though most were a lot more elegant than the first.Â
âI call this, âThe Ladybugâ.â A girl said. She ran and jumped, twisting in the air while throwing her arm, mimicking Ladybugâs yo-yo. She managed to say âbug out!â Before she hit the water. Marinette whistled. âSheâs got my vote!âÂ
âCome on, Pops,â said Hugo. âItâs your turn!âÂ
âI donât have aââÂ
âJust make something up! Go go!âÂ
Adrien pulled himself out of the pool and headed toward the diving board, aware of the people watching, curious.Â
This was his twin boysâ special day. He had to be impressive. He had to be the cool dad.Â
He took a running start, falling into a front flip as he hit the diving board. His adult weight bowed the board with force, sending him up into the air. He curled tightly into a ball, using the momentum to rotate three times, before coming out of the ball and diving seamlessly into the water.Â
When he surfaced, the crowd of kids were going wild. They screamed and chanted âDad! Dad! Dad!âÂ
Obviously started by his boys.Â
Adrien beamed as he treaded water. Being Chat Noir was great, even with all the pain it had brought him. But being his kidâs hero was the absolute best.Â
But everything came to a screeching halt as Isaac, the butthole kid, let out a loud, âEWWW!!â Grabbing everyoneâs attention. âWhatâs wrong with your dadâs back!? Itâs all gross!â
Adrien slammed his eyes shut, all at once feeling self-conscious. But this was just a dumb teenager. Maybe he didnât know any better. But before he could gather himself to calmly explain his scars, his boys spoke up for him.Â
âItâs scarring, you jerk,â said Louis.Â
âHe got it from being a superhero, when he was just two years older than we are!â Added Hugo.Â
Isaac scoffed, âChat Noir and Ladybug arenât real superheroes! Not like the ones in America! All they do is rescue cats from trees and show up for charity events. They donât even do anything anymore!â
Adrien sloppily backtracked, reaching out for the edge of the pool.Â
âJust yesterday, he caught a robber! Thatâs not nothing!â Hugo defended.Â
âOh yeah?â Said Isaac, âMy dad said that they used to fight supervillains, but they couldnât stop the guy responsible for them! He said theyâre losers and failures!âÂ
âHey Jean,â said one of the parents. âTell your kid to shut up.âÂ
Isaacâs father took a chug from his beer and shrugged. âSomeone had to say it.âÂ
âMonsieur,â said Ladybug with god-like patience. âI suggest you and your son leave. I donât feel the need to play host to someone who could be so hateful and misinformed.âÂ
âMisinformed?â The man, Jean, scoffed. âI was there. I saw the stream back then. I remember what it was like. The weekly akumas, classes and events always cancelled. The only reason they stopped is because Hawkmoth gave up. I donât think you guys should be getting recognition anymore. Sorry, not sorry.âÂ
âMom?â Louis called from the pool.
Jean frowned, continuing. âThe rest of us have to make a living working hard, every day. You and your husband just put on some skin tight leather and prance around. Now youâre set for life. Itâs disgusting.âÂ
âHey man, if you donât like it, you can leave,â said Alya. âNo one invited you. I heard your son was only invited out of obligation.âÂ
âMom!â Louis called again.Â
âMarinette and Adrien suffered enough for a lifetime. Every day is a struggle! How dare you say otherwise!âÂ
âMOM!â Louis screamed.Â
Marinette whipped her head over to the pool, seeing Adrien struggling to keep his head above water. Louis and Hugo were holding him up. She hurried over. âWhat happened? Whatâs wrong?âÂ
âHeâs having an attack!âÂ
Tom rushed over, reaching his hands under Adrienâs arms, and pulled him out of the pool. He tried to set him on his feet, but he kept leaning forward, trying to lay down. His eyes were wide, but unfocused, as his breaths came rapidly.Â
Marinette tugged on his arm. âCome on, Kitty. Not here.â She called over to Chloe. âIs there a room we can borrow for a second?â
âFollow me!âÂ
Louis broke off from the group, but Hugo and Marinette were quick to escort Adrien away from the party.Â
âMom?â Emma asked, right as they were about to get on the elevator.Â
âItâs okay, Honey. Dad just needs a minute. Stay behind with Aunt Alya, okay?â
Emma nodded, though didnât look convinced.Â
Chloe showed them to her room, where she quickly got a towel for Adrien to wrap up in.Â
Hugo and Marinette eased him down to sit on the couch. There, he slumped, his head resting on the back of the couch.Â
Louis found their room, cup in hand. âI brought a coke. I know that usually helps.âÂ
Marinette sighed in relief. âThank you baby,â she took the cup from him and put it in Adrienâs hand, then helped him take a sip.Â
They sat for a while, watching Adrien breathe slowly and take occasional sips from his drink.
âIâm so sorry boys,â Marinette looked to them sadly. âWe didnât mean to ruin your birthday.â
Hugo frowned at her. âWhat? You guys didnât ruin anything. Isaacâs the one that pooped on our party.â
âYeah,â added Louis, âand we were having a great time up until now. Donât worry about it mom.âÂ
Adrien very shakily brought the cup towards his face, and Marinette was quick to help, so he didnât spill. âDadâs going to be fine,â she explained. âWhy donât you boys get back to the party?âÂ
âIf itâs okay, Iâd like to wait until dad feels a little better. Iâd feel guilty if I left,â said Louis.
âMe too,â said Hugo. âAnd I need a few minutes to calm down to keep from punching Isaac in the face. What he said was dumb. He has no idea what you guys do.âÂ
ââŚit shouldnât have bothered meâŚâ Adrien said, softly.Â
âDad?âÂ
âIâm okay,â he took a deep exhale. âJustâŚlost myself for a moment.âÂ
Hugo hugged him tightly around the shoulders. âLove you, dad. Donât worry about it.âÂ
âIâm sorry for scaring you boysâŚand your friends. But Iâll be alright now.âÂ
âYou recovered pretty quickly,â Marinette noted.Â
âItâs because I have my big strong boys with me.â He wrapped his arms around his sons. âThere was nothing to worry about.âÂ
Except, there was.Â
Alya burst into the room, Chloe behind her, with a look of panic.Â
âMarinette, come quickly!âÂ
âWhat? Whatâs wrong?âÂ
âItâs Emma! Sheâs been akumatized!!âÂ
â
As Emma watched her father be rushed out of the party, a stone fell into her gut. No matter how often this happened, no matter how good they got at catching the attacks, it still scared her when it happened.Â
She was torn between wanting to be with him, and not wanting to see that vacant expression on his face. Her mother said it was a coping mechanism he developed a long time ago, when they had been kidnapped. He just switched his brain off when he got overwhelmed, as to not experience pain. It only happened a few times a year, only in super stressful situations where he thought about his torture.Â
Emma wiped at her face as she looked over the party. Alya was chastising the adult man that had talked bad about her father, and Hugo and Louisâ friends were ripping into the kid that started the whole mess.Â
Everyone was angry and yelling.Â
âEmma?â Gabriel asked, resting a hand on her shoulder. âAre you alright, dear?âÂ
âOh, GrandfatherâŚâ She sniffed. âIâm justâŚscared.âÂ
âYour father will be alright. Itâs nothing physical, itâs just a mental state.âÂ
âI knowâŚâ She screwed up her lips. âBut Iâm scared people are going to keep saying that stuff to him. Mom acts like Iâm too young to understand whatâs happeningâŚbut people are forgetting that they are real superheroes, and they act like theyâre mascots. Iâm scared this is going to happen again.â She rubbed at her damp eyes. âHe doesnât deserve it. Neither of them do.âÂ
âYou really love your parents, donât you?âÂ
âOf course! Theyâre the best!â
âThen, I have a plan. Would you be willing to help?â
âOf course, what is it?â
âCome with me, weâll speak in private.âÂ
Curious, Emma followed Gabriel into the hotel, down to a conference room. He locked the door behind them.Â
âYou remember our little secret?âÂ
âThat I know you were Hawkmoth?âÂ
âYes. My plan requires me to come out of retirement, just this onceâŚand to akumatize you.âÂ
She looked startled. âYou want to turn me into a supervillain?â
âOnly if you agree to it, dear.â He pet her hair. âMy goal is to make you a supervillain, so you can terrorize Paris and remind them of what Ladybug and Chat Noir used to do. Iâll be able to see through your eyes, so I can stop and undo any damage if something goes wrong.âÂ
Emma crossed her arms. âYouâd make mom and dad fight me?â
âNot fight you, rescue you.â
She frowned again, thinking about it. Then she nodded. âLetâs do it!âÂ
Gabriel smiled at her, and opened his sports jacket, where Nooroo was hiding. âNooroo, Dark Wings rise!âÂ
In a flash of purple light, Hawkmoth had returned. Inside his cane, a little white butterfly fluttered.Â
Emma danced on her toes. âWhat kind of powers are you going to give me? I want to be pretty!âÂ
He chuckled at her eagerness. âOf course, my sweet Emma.â He evilized the butterfly, and then coaxed it into the paw print bracelet she was wearing.Â
A purple mask appeared on her face.
âMermaidia, Iâm giving you the power of the seas. You may travel through any body of water, and turn those that oppose you into sea creatures. In exchange, you must give Chat Noir and Ladybug a taste of nostalgia. Do you accept these terms?âÂ
âAbsolutely, Hawkmoth.âÂ
The dark purple fog encompassed Emma, turning the sweet blonde girl into a real mermaid, with purple hair, shimmering scales, and an abundance of glittering gold and jewels. In her hand, she held a trident.Â
Hawkmoth took a bottle of water from the table, and poured it on the floor.Â
Mermaidia stepped into the puddle, and disappeared.Â
â
âRegardless if you feel like youâre right, itâs still your opinion. And an opinion doesnât give you the right to be an asshole, especially to people who are hosting this party!â Shouted Alya.Â
The rest of the parents were quietly watching the exchange, not really wanting to get involved. But they were also paying attention to a similar argument in the pool.Â
âYou are a grown adult and a parent. Itâs your job to teach your kid respect and kindness, two qualities I havenât seen from him today.âÂ
âLook lady, I know youâre friends with the Dupain-Chengâs and all, but come on. It doesnât bother you that they donât work at all? Whatâs the point of them calling themselves superheroes anyway? They should just hang up the suits and get real jobs.âÂ
âThey. Canât.â Alya emphasized. âDid you not just see what happened to Adrien? What if he was working and he had an attack? What then, smart guy?â
âHe wonât have attacks if he was doing something with his life!âÂ
âThey are full time parents, and full time heroes! They do more than just ârescue cats and make celebrity appearances at charity eventsâ! How can you be so ignorant?!â
âWhat did you call me!?âÂ
Screams came from the pool, and the argument halted.Â
Mermaidia had made her appearance.Â
âI am Mermaidia! You all have grown too soft and comfortable! Iâm here to remind you what it was like back when there were akuma!â She laughed, pointed her trident, and turned a child into a fish.Â
The party descended into madness, as Mermaidia shot rapidly. None of the teens in the pool escaped, and all turned into various fish and sea creatures.Â
Isaac turned into a starfish, and Emma stuck him to her arm. âYouâre coming with me. I want you to see how wrong you were.âÂ
Several adults had tried to escape as well, but Mermaidia stopped them in their run.Â
Only those who knew the identity of Hawkmoth, or were previous Miraculous users didnât panic. Rather, they stood staring, confused. Alya backed away carefully, and escaped into the hotel. Whether Emma purposely let her go or not, she would never know.
âEmma?â Asked Sabine.Â
âIâm not Emma anymore, Iâm Mermaidia!â She turned Isaacâs father into another starfish, and stuck him on her other arm. âYou mocked my parents, but now, theyâre the only ones that can save you! Ahahaha!âÂ
âEmma, stop.â Tom demanded. âYouâre a good girl. We canât let what people say get to us. People will always have their opinions that we disagree with, but we canât take it personally.âÂ
âBut I can take this personally!â She shouted back. âMy father is the greatest man alive, and no one will doubt that when Iâm through! Just you see!âÂ
She turned the rest of the assembled party goers into creatures, before leaping into the pool and disappearing.
â
Ladybug, Chat Noir, Alya, Chloe, Louis, and Hugo all returned to the party, only to find a bunch of fish.Â
âWhat theâŚ?âÂ
âSheâs called Mermaidia,â Alya clarified. âSheâs turned everyone into sea creatures. She appeared from the water, so I think she can transport through liquid.â
âShe totally can, dude,â said a sea turtle from the pool.Â
âNino?â Asked Chat Noir.Â
âCha dude, what do you think? Pretty fitting for me, huh?âÂ
âAre you okay?â
âTotally. All the little dudes are too.â He gestured to the fish in the pool.Â
âEmma turned the kid and his dad who started the argument into starfish.â Said a sea-snake. âTheyâre on her arms. So be careful when you attack.â
âLuka?â
âYep.â Â
âWhereâs my mom and dad?âÂ
âOver here!â Called a walrus. There was a crab next to him, waving a claw. âWeâre fine, honey. Just save Emma!âÂ
âNext question,â Said Ladybug, wielding her yo-yo angrily. âWhereâs Gabriel?â
Chat Noir rested a hand on her shoulder. âLetâs focus on saving Emma, and then weâll find him.âÂ
She sighed. âYouâre right, as always, kitty. However, I think we might need some help with this akuma.â She opened her yo-yo and reached inside, pulling out two octagonal boxes. Then she turned to Hugo and Louis. âI hoped to give you your presents later, and hoped you wouldnât ever have to use them. But desperate times come desperate measures.âÂ
Hugo and Louis smiled at each other, with excitement.Â
âLouis, my wise, observant, and cunning child, this is the Miraculous of the Snake. With it, you can turn back time an infinite amount of times in a five minute duration. You will use it for the greater good.â
âSweet.âÂ
âAnd Hugo, my brave, bold, and exuberant child, this is the Miraculous of the Turtle. With it, you can create an impenetrable shield. You will use it for the greater good.â
âYes!âÂ
âLouis, to transform, simply say âSass, Scales Slither.â And Hugo, your phrase is âWayzz, Shell Onâ.â
âSass, Scales Slither!â
âWayzz, Shell On!âÂ
A flash of green and teal, and the boys were turned into superheroes. They high fived each other.Â
âThe Reptile Boyz are back in town!â Hugo cheered.Â
âReally? âBoyzâ with a âZâ?â Chat Noir asked flatly.
âItâs cool, old man!â Said Louis.Â
âAlright team, letâs focus,â Ladybug said, a bit too fondly for the situation at hand. She took out her yo-yo, and looked for intel. There was a special report live from Nadja Chamack.Â
ââMermaidia is the first Akuma in 20 years! It was thought that Hawkmoth had retired, but it seems he has one ace left up his sleeve. The akuma was last spotted at the Luxembourg park! Hopefully, Ladybug and Chat Noir are on their way! Again, this is a real akuma, so it is advised to stay indoors and away from water!âÂ
âSheâs at the park! Letâs go!âÂ
â
This wasnât nearly as scary as Emma thought it would be. In fact, she was having a lot of fun. Hawkmoth did advise her that she would be influenced by her anger, but that really didnât seem to bother her. It was really fun to turn people into sea creatures.Â
Though, she did feel really guilty when she hit people that were crying in fear.Â
But thatâs what her parents were here for! To undo all this! It was fine!Â
âI am Mermaidia! And Ladybug and Chat Noir are your only chance for salvation!âÂ
âNow now Emma,â Chat Noir spoke from behind. âGo easy on us. Weâre a little wet behind the ears.âÂ
Emma had to stomp down the urge to run and hug her father, and instead declared. âThere you are, Ladybug and Chat Noir! Ready to do battle?âÂ
Ladybug simply crossed her arms. âIf you donât give up your akuma, youâre grounded.âÂ
Mermaidia stomped her foot. âYou canât ground me if you canât catch me!â And she leapt into the fountain.Â
âSheâs escaping!â Cried Hugo.Â
âQuick, fan out! Look for sources of water, and call as soon as you get sight of her!âÂ
â
This was not Hugo or Louisâ first time using a Miraculous. Every once in a while, Marinette and Adrien would allow the children to pick one out to try, and then theyâd have a family game of tag out on the Paris rooftops. The rules were to stay safe, and to not allow the media to take pictures. And at the first sign of danger, they were supposed to go home and let Mom and Dad handle it.Â
So the boys were familiar with their powers, but boy, they were not ready for the anxiety of an Akuma attack.Â
They may have been older, but Emma was still the reigning champion of tag.Â
âFind anything?â Louis asked, crossing his brother.Â
âNot a scale,â said Hugo. âHave you activated your Second Chance yet?âÂ
âNo, but I will the second we find her. Then if she escapes, we can just reverse time.âÂ
âSmart.â Then, Hugoâs eyes caught on something in the river. âHuh?â
âWhat?â
âHow often do you think whales go down the Seine?âÂ
âUhâŚnever?âÂ
âThere she is! Sheâs on top of it!â Hugo activated his distress beacon on his shield, making sure to keep up with Emma, but also stay out of sight.Â
âWe have to play this carefully. She can literally jump into the water and disappear at any second.âÂ
âNot if thereâs no water to disappear into,â said Chat Noir, appearing from nowhere.Â
Hugo resisted a scream. âD-Chat! Youâre too sneaky!â
âIâve been doing this a while, kiddo. Ladybugâs not here yet?âÂ
âNo, whatâs the plan?â
âI have half a planâŚâ
âThen itâs a good thing I have half of one too!â Said Ladybug, finally joining them. âAfter you sent your signal, I called the French Waterway Commission and had them close the lock sheâs on.âÂ
âWhat did what the what?â Hugo asked.Â
âThe river is made up of locks,â explained Louis, âchambers that fill and empty with water so boats can travel. The ground isnât level, and the water level changes.âÂ
âSo Ladybug basically had them dam up the section Emmaâs on right now,â said Chat.
âBut she can still travel through water, so once she reaches the dam, sheâll just abandon ship, er, whale.â Hugo observed. âSo then what?â
âThen we put my plan into action,â Chat cracked his knuckles, and stealthily made his way to the river bank.Â
Louis and Hugo watched in fascination as Chat called his Cataclysm and touched the water. In a boiling wave, it rolled quickly past Emma, evaporating as it went. It didnât even have time to settle, just went up in a cloud of steam.Â
The whale that Emma was on run ashore, and she came to a halt. âWhat?â
âNowhere to run now, little girl!â Ladybug called.Â
Mermaidia jumped from the back of the whale and landed in the sand. It wasnât even damp. Chat had literally evaporated all the water in that section of the river.Â
âSecond Chance!â Louis activated his bracelet. And just in time too, as Mermaidia shot a beam at Ladybug, and turned her into a dolphin. âSecond Chance!â  Â
Time restarted, and Louis shouted. âLadybug, dive!âÂ
Ladybug dove out of the way, missing the three shots Mermaidia took.Â
âIâm not going to take it easy on you just because youâre my mother!â Emma shouted. âSo letâs show Paris what a real superhero looks like, hmm?âÂ
âOh you are so grounded when this is over, little lady!â She dodged another blast, and called for her Lucky Charm.Â
Hugo called for Shelter while she glanced around, looking for the purpose of the tennis racket her Miraculous had bestowed upon her.
Then it dawned on her.Â
A grounding wasnât enough for her naughty child. Oh no. This called for the big guns.
The second Hugoâs Shelter faded, she shot out her yo-yo, catching Emma around the arms, and yanked her to lay across her leg. Hugo and Louis peeled the captive starfish off, while Chat took the trident. All the while Mermaidia wriggled around, fighting against the yo-yo string.Â
âNo akuma in the trident, my lady.â Chat Noir shrugged.Â
âOh, Iâll get it out of her.â Ladybug raised the tennis racket. âWhereâs the akuma at, Emma?âÂ
âThis is cheating!âÂ
âOkay, you asked for it.â And Ladybug brought the tennis racket down on her bottom, once, twice, three times before Emma cried out. âOkay okay! Itâs in my bracelet! Stop! Stop!â
Chat broke the bracelet, freeing the butterfly, as Ladybug set her crying daughter down in the sand.Â
She caught and purified the butterfly, and removed everyone from the bank of the river before casting her cure.Â
Emma Dupain-Cheng returned, pouting, and still rubbing her behind. âI was just trying to helpâŚâÂ
âWhereâs your Grandfather?âÂ
âHeâs in a conference room at the hotel. But donât be mad at him, pleaseâŚâÂ
Before Ladybug could yell more, Isaac and his father approached her. âUh, Ladybug?âÂ
âYes?â
âLook, I wanted toâwe wanted to apologize. Thank you for rescuing us, and Iâm sorry. I guess I had forgotten what it was like having akumas around. You still stopped Hawkmoth, right? WellâŚuntil todayâŚâÂ
âHawkmoth is a friend of ours now,â Ladybug clarified. âHeâs paid for his crimes, but today has shown that he hasnât quite learned the right way to deal with problems. I believe he was well intentioned, but we will be having words.âÂ
Isaacâs father nudged his son. âYou want to say anything?âÂ
Isaac shyly looked at the family and admitted, âthank you for inviting to the party. No one invites me to things.âÂ
âYeah, well, work on your boundary issues, and maybe itâll happen more often,â said Louis.Â
âIf you guys want to head back to the hotel, I think thereâs still time for cake!â Said Chat, with optimism.Â
â
After the Miraculous cure restored the party, everyone gathered again and lunch was served.Â
But, the Dupain-Chengs were in the conference room. Marinette and Adrien frowned at their youngest and Gabriel.Â
âNow, son--â Gabriel began.Â
âWhat were you thinking?â Adrien interrupted.Â
âI was thinking that Paris needed a little reminder of all the hard work you guys did.âÂ
âYeah, cool,â sniped Marinette. âExcept now they think youâre out of retirement, and thatâs a huge reminder that we didnât stop you!âÂ
Gabriel took the brooch off. âThen here. Make it official. Tell them that this akuma was my swan-song and I made it to surrender.âÂ
Marinette took the brooch regardless, and put it in her bag. âI donât know what Iâll say to the media. Theyâll want to know who you are, and if youâre going to prisonâŚand akumatizing your own granddaughter?âÂ
âI told him I was okay with it!â Said Emma. âI knew what I was getting into. Itâs not that big of a deal!âÂ
âNot that big of a deal!?âÂ
There was a knock on the door, as Hugo and Louis peeked their heads in. âThere you are, Grandfather!âÂ
âHi boys,â he smiled at them, softly.Â
The twins pushed passed their parents to stand in front of him, arms crossed, just like Marinette and Adrien.Â
âWhat you did was terrible,â Said Louis.Â
âSo awful,â echoed Hugo.Â
âYou could have permanently hurt or traumatized people.âÂ
âDone thousands of dollars of property damage.âÂ
Gabriel sighed. âI knowâŚI justââ But he was cut off as the boys wrapped him up in a tight hug. âWhat?â
âThanks for the coolest present ever!âÂ
âYeah! Mom gave us our Miraculous, but the chance to use them on a real akuma!?âÂ
âHey!â Shouted Emma. âI was the akuma! No thanks for me!?â
They gave her a noogie. âThanks twerp.âÂ
âYouâre a twerp!âÂ
Marinette and Gabriel met eyes. He gave a sheepish shrug. âI know Iâm bad. But I deeply love my family.âÂ
She then gave up trying to be angry. âAlright fine. I admit it. It was fun to fight an akuma again. But itâs over now!âÂ
Adrien shook his head fondly. âThanks for meddling dad.âÂ
âYour welcome, son.âÂ
âI want cake!â Hugo shouted.Â
âCake time!âÂ
âYay cake!âÂ
âNo cake for Emma. Only broccoli.â Marinette clarified. âYou were naughty.âÂ
âAw man!!âÂ
--
AND THATâS THE END!Â
Oh my word this story got AWAY from me! It was only supposed to be maybe 20 chapters when I first started on it? But here we are, a year and a half later, and over 200,000 words! I kinda canât believe Iâm done!Â
Anyways, thank you all for sticking around through all the heartache. I appreciated every single review and like. And one parting question: What was your favorite part?

Allez, pour ta peine : nombres pairs ! Tous.
Ah la vache... Ca fait beaucoup T_T Here we go!
2. How old are you? Between 20 and 40 but not halfway. Might be a multiple of 7. Or not...
4. What is your zodiac sign? Taurus. Been told itâs very fitting...
6. Whatâs your lucky number? Donât have a lucky number but I like 3 (dates back to when I first read The Black Stallion when I was a kid and Alec and Black had the number 3 during their first race XD).
8. Where are you from? France, from where France fists Belgium XD (yep thatâs a saying here).
10. What shoe size are you? Fucking way too small for my liking, itâs hell to find shoes my style... (37 or 6.5).
12. What was your last dream about? Something super weird (I always have super fucking weird dreams) but I donât really remember this one. I donât keep a log on dreams, seems too much work because it always swings between super weird and nightmares so not like it matters much...
14. Are you psychic in any way? Huh nope and donât believe in these things.
16. Favorite movie? The Fifth Element, itâs not a great movie but itâs like a Madeleine de Proust and takes me back to simpler times. Also fucking funny, sci-fi and awesome music, whatâs not to like?
18. Do you want children? Man, kids make me uncomfortable as hell. I prefer horses XD.
20. Are you religious? Absolutely not. I only believe in science and thereâs no room in there for an hypothetical superior force, thatâs supposed to be all love and shit and yet lets the world in that state.
22. Have you ever got in trouble with the law? Ah, unless you count speeding tickets as getting in trouble with the law...
24. Baths or showers? Showers.
26. Have you ever been famous? LOL nope and donât wanna be.
28. What type of music do you like? Ooh tricky question, I have rather eclectic tastes in music. Ranges from ancient music and baroque (I love harpsichord, learned to play the piano when I was younger) to post-hardcore / âhardâ music and pretty much everything in between. Discovered lately I donât mind some bluegrass even. What I donât like would be a way shorter list... XD Iâm less a type of music kind of person and more a how that music makes me feel person, regardless of the type of music and the person/band. That said, I abhor bal musette and mostly of what we call ânouvelle chanson françaiseâ... In general, I like it dark and tortured.
30. How many pillows do you sleep with? 2 and a small one.
32. How big is your house? Tis an appartment and with the new job last year I was able to afford more than just a rabbit hutch! (65m2 yus!).

36. Favorite clean word? Lately Iâve been saying âgraveâ a lot, I manage to annoy even myself when I do...
38. Whatâs the longest youâve ever gone without sleep? I think it was 3 days or perhaps 4 and not even due to insomnia.
40. Have you ever had a secret admirer? Eh not that I know of lol Pretty sure Iâm not the type of person that gets secret admirers.
42. Are you a good judge of character? I think I am most of the time. As an introvert I spend much of my time on the sidelines of social interactions so I watch and analyze people a lot but Iâve been wrong a couple of times (especially if itâs a pretty girl -_-) and that fucking sucked each time...
44. Do you have a strong accent? In French? Nope, I made sure to erase it because Iâm a snob like that. In English? Obviously I have a French one (been told itâs cute... -_-).
46. What is your personality type? INTJ, introvert all the way (is that what itâs referring to?) Because if not, Iâve been told by a psychologist I saw as part of something for my job who said I should get diagnosed for ADHD and autism, so...
48. Can you curl your tongue? Yep. Can make a tube with it, can also turn it over but only from one direction.
50. Left or right handed? Right but training the left to not be useless since childhood (you need to have a good feeling of both your hands if you want to be a good horseback rider).
52. Favorite food? Pasta all the way!
54. Are you a clean or messy person? Both. A clean mess XD Seriously, there are still some boxes I havenât unpacked from moving in last year... My desk at work is a fucking clutter because I manage like 15 projects at the same time and sometimes the files all end up there... But I always end up fed up of the mess and clean everything like a tornado. Especially when I decide I have enough, I canât do anything else until I cleaned everything.
56. Most used word? Fuck or âputainâ and itâs variation âputain de merde fait chierâ in French.
58. Do you have much of an ego? I do, itâs big and sometimes misplaced. I try to not let it get in the way though.
60. Do you talk to yourself? Oh yeah, especially when I fucked something up.
62. Are you a good singer? Nope, doesnât mean I donât like to sing very off-key when Iâm alone...
64. Are you a gossip? No, not really.
66. Do you like long or short hair? In general? Long hair but I donât care long or short as long as theyâre comfortable with it and it suits them.
68. Favorite school subject? Hands down History and geology (wanted to be an archaeologist before I chose geology).
70. Have you ever been scuba diving? Iâm a scuba diver (have my first degree, can dive down to 20m). I fucking love it but life happened and I havenât been able to keep it up :(
72. Are you scared of the dark? No, I kinda like it. Although I donât need the room to be pitch black to sleep.
74. Are you ticklish? Yeah and since I donât always control my strength, it can lead to some kind of injuries to the tickler...
76. Have you ever been in a position of authority? I guess? I taught at the engineering school in geology during my PhD, does that count?
78. Have you ever done drugs? Only weed a couple times. I try to stay clear from anything remotely addictive because I have an obsessive personality.
80. How many piercings do you have? None and not planning on getting some.
82. How fast can you type? Average fast I guess?
84. What color is your hair? Very light brown, bordering on blond (Iâve been told Iâm blond and it gets even lighter in the sun...).
86. What are you allergic to? Dust and mold which is just awesome for a horse owner, everyday your nose in hay...
88. What do your parents do? Teachers both. My motherâs a History and Geography teacher which means a childhood spent visiting historical sites during any vacation.
90. What makes you angry? Stupidity, incompetence, injustice to name a few. Currently my neighbors letting the front door bang at any hour when thereâs a note asking not to (my bedroomâs right next to that fucking front door)...
92. Have you already thought of baby names, and if so what are they? Nope nope but I thought about names for my future horse(s) XD
94. What are you strengths? Loyal to a fault, up front, smart, persevering. Iâm fucking funny too.
96. How did you get your name? My father always wanted to name his daughter that way. I always thought it doesnât suit me though.
98. Do you have any scars? Oh yeah... Left shoulder, both knees, right ankle, shins, nose, chin, hands (not counting the tip of one finger I nearly lost 2 years ago), right shoulder blade.
100. Color of your room? Plain white, I rent the flat so not redecorating.
#eagle-raider#damn dude that took me like forever...#have fun with all those random info#reminds me of the good ol' times of the Warehouse 13 fandom

Your Tears in My Dreams (DamiJon) Part : 2/2
Rating : General AudiencesÂ
Summary :
His best friend always has that smile. Bright and refreshing like a can of cold soda on a hot and humid summer. But one day, when they were walking down the halls to class. Jon stopped, and for once in Damian life, he saw Jon cried. â- Dick cleared his throat, his darting eyes finally landed on his jade eyes, âWhy do you want to know now?â âCuriosity,â Damian shrugged, âIâve never seen him cried before, that was the only time he did and I forgot why he did.â âYou think itâs your fault?â âThatâs what Iâm trying to find out.â
Inspired by this beautiful art of Jon crying and Damian not knowing what to do by @glitter-dc
Read on AO3
Click Keep Reading to read on Tumblr.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Word count : 6k
Four days of tedious meetings with Wayne Enterprise later, Damian has finally done his duty as the League of Al-Ghulâs representation.
Now, heâs on the front gate of Kentâs farm and walking down the dirt path to the front door. The house is a typical American farmhouse. Everything is the same except the rows of potted plants on the front porch and the different paint of the house. It used to be deep blue color, now itâs creamy yellow. The wooden fences were painted blue, and now the paints mostly chipped away.
From the pathway, Damian can see the sunflower field behind the house. It looks identical as he remembered only shorter and smaller in his eyes now. It stretches from the far left starting from a barn and to the far right. There used to be two horses in that barn where Jon and he would ride a brown mare named Macey, and sometimes the white stallion Jackie.
The Kentâs farmhouse was supposed to be their vacation house. Damian had come here for summer vacation to spend time in nature and play around with Jon. His happy memories here were running into the sunflower field, playing chase. Riding on top of the tractors while Mr. Kent drives. Picnics under their favorite ginormous oak tree, while working on their summer homework. Helping Mrs. Kent hangs the laundry and playing hide and seek between the sheets.
It was a place where he allowed himself to be a child.
The front door opens before Damian gets to reach the porch. A beaming smile from a woman whose face barely changes greets him.
âDamian! Itâs been so long.â The woman steps out to the front porch, with her pink apron over a checkered red dress and folded sleeves on her arms that open to greet him.
Her black hair is long now, theyâre blown by the breeze and sway like the sunflower field behind her humble house.
Damian speed walks across the path and hugs her. She wraps her arms around him tightly. Though heâs taller than her now, he still feels like that small and fragile boy under her motherly arms.
âHello to you too Lois, youâve been well?â
âI am,â She lets go and opens the door, âCome inside, have you eaten lunch?â
âI have.â
âCoffee or tea then? Maybe a little snack? Iâm baking my apple pie since I know youâre coming.â
âLois, you shouldnât have, I donât want to bother you too much.â
âNone of that! Itâs been too long since I last saw you, you never even visit.â Lois then stopped and looks at Damian from top to bottom. âYouâve grown into such a looker!â she slaps Damianâs arm playfully.
âThank you,â Damian flustered.
Damian walks into the house after her. The open kitchen is on the left, while the sofa and tv in on the right, just like he remembered. Thereâs barely any changes around. The floor plan and decoration are still at the same place, even the pictures by the walls are the same arrangement. There are only a few furniture changed to something new.
âIs Clark home?â
âNo, heâs at work, but heâs coming home early today if youâd like to stay and say hi.â
âIâll do that, thank you for welcoming me.â
âOh donât be so uptight! I take it youâre not here only to see us, are you?â Lois smiles lightly, warm and bright, like her sonâs.
âNo, Iâm here to ask about Jon.â
Her pale pink lips parted and she steps back a little, âOh? You are?â Lois is noticeably stupefied.
âYes. I believe I mightâve said something upsetting to Jon ten years ago.â
âUpsetting? Were you fighting?â
âNo, we never fight,â Despite Damian always rejecting Jonâs friendship at first, the fight was always one-sided.
âBut that day, I made him cry, and I canât remember what I said or did,â Damian admits, taking a deep breath and looks up to meet Loisâs eyes.
Her smile is no more, but her eyes warm and welcoming, giving him her full attention.
âI was wondering if he ever told you why he cried. If he told you something Iâve said?â
Lois sighed and put his hand of Damianâs arm, rubbing with her thumb.
âWait here,â She said before walking down the halls and disappears into Jonâs room, then returns with a book in hand.
âHe never told me that he cried in front of you, but I believe the answer you seek is in here,â she hands him a book with mixed patterns on the cover. It looks like a diary, and itâs definitely not a diary they exchange to each other, because Damian had never seen this one before.
âIs it okay for me to read something so private?â
âYou needed it, and heâll understand. I think heâll even thank me.â Lois winks.
His hands hesitated, before finally taking it from Loisâ hands, âThank you. Whereâs Jon?â
âUnder the oak tree behind the house.â
âAh, our tree,â Damian cracks a smile, he misses that spot, âIâll go see him.â
Lois clenches his hands on top of her chest, long lashes flutter before she reaches out and lands her hand on his shoulder. âAlright,â she stated weakly, as if unsure, âAlright, donât stay out too late now!â she says clearer and smiles.
Damian spares a curl of a smile, and can only nod gratefully to her before walking out the door.
With the book in hand, Damian stops by the steps down the porch. He sits there and read the diary first before going around the house.
It felt like trespassing someoneâs private life. They usually read each otherâs diaries but Jon doesnât give him this one himself.
After pondering for a few minutes, in the end, his curiosity wins. The book contains his goal and reason for going out of his way to come here. And if Lois, who knows her son the most, gave this to him to read, means that itâs really okay. He opens the cover and read the first page.
âJanuary 1st, 2010
My dearest diary,
From now on, we only have each other, itâll be one of my new year resolutions. First, I canât give you to Damian anymore, because--â
Damian looks away, already regretting reading that part. Whatever Jon writes here, he doesnât want Damian to know, and he has to honor that. Damian just needs to know what happened on 17th November 2010.
The diary starts at the first Januar. Jon always has a new resolution every year and as suspected of most people, forgot it in mid-January. This has got to be the only one Jon followed through
Not wanting to probe any more than he needed to, Damian flips the pages and only looks for the dates. Then he finally found it, at least he thought he does. The dates jump, further and further towards the end of the year. The entry Damian looked for is the first one in two months.
November 18th, 2010
I did something stupid yesterday. I canât believe I cried in front of Damian, and I canât stop for the love of. I thought Iâm getting better at hiding it, but at that moment everything just burst out and Iâm not in control anymore. Damian told me heâs going back when he graduates high school. Thatâs two years away in his fancy smart class in his even fancier and more prestigious high school his mom made him enroll. Iâm already busting my ass to get to the same high school, but I donât think I can graduate the same time as Damian. As much as I HATE to admit it, Iâm just not as smart as Damian!
Canât he just hit the breaks or something? I know heâs smart, but itâs like heâs rushing to get out of my face or something.
No, Damian never wanted to leave. His mother had demanded his return as quickly as possible, thatâs why he was rushing.
I was already tearing up when he says heâll be leaving... I had hoped we can get into the same university, I thought I had more time. But then he told me he had no choice, He was bound to return and continue his familyâ weird tradition of making him do these things they already set him to do. Then he told me about a fiancee that was chosen for him. He started talking about something else but I didnât listen, because I was already bursting in tears.
I know itâs still too soon for marriage talks, weâre 15! Heâs 15! But then itâs just so sudden. Damian just accepts it as it is... Heâll go with it. Itâs one of those weird lists his mom made him do, but he wants to do it, and I hate that I canât blame anyone. It just hits me hard and bad that Damian is not someone like me or someone that can never like me.
It was so embarrassing. He thought it was his fault, but I donât know... I was just crying because
Diary, Iâm so thankful that youâll never judge me. I can say anything I want and youâll accept me. If only I can ask you something... to tell me if Iâm wrong or not, whether or not I should give up. Iâm afraid, but just accepting it as it is so lonely... I donât feel like going to school. Iâm not ready to see him yet. I donât think I can remain calm seeing him again. There are just so many things Iâm sad about but  I canât tell him about it, and you canât do anything but listen. Itâs not enough!
I just wanted to have a chance
Should I just go for it? And consequences be damned? Iâm just sick of feeling hidden like this. I canât lie well.
Iâm afraid of telling my parents... the pastor always told us that
I just feel like a weirdo, like Iâm broken. Iâd hate it if Dami thinks Iâm sick too and starts avoiding me like Iâm a virus Iâd rather
What am I going to do? I donât want anything to change with Dami I just canât and Iâm lost I donât know how
Diary, will I ever be ready?
When the time comes for me to attend his wedding, can I bear the pain of seeing someone I love marry another?
Damian stopped breathing, and re-read the last sentences. Then re-read the whole entry. And each time he reads them, something chokes him. Itâs hard to hold onto the book when thereâs no strength left on his hands. He exhaled a shaky breath and looks away from the letters on his lap.
He knows he promised not to read any more than what he needed. Damian already got the answer he seeks, but the next entry is the last one. Lois did give him the whole book, and Damian turns that reason for his justification.
âJanuary 1st, 2011
Damian used to tease me for having new years resolution. Well tough luck on him! I kept this diary from him for a year as a resolution, and I did it!
As for this year's resolution, itâs going to be harder. But I need to do this... I just need to.
Iâll confess to Damian, but I donât think I can ever say it without incoherently stutter and sobbing and shaking like a newborn fawn taking its first step. Because this is, in a way, a first step for me... Heâs going to be the first one to know, after my parents of course.
Iâve never been so sure. Iâve talked about it with my parents, and Iâve never felt so grateful to have them in my life than at that moment. I love them for not avoiding me or even worse, putting me on a camp like Iâve seen on the internet. Their love for me is so limitless that I finally have the courage to at least... confess in some way, but Iâm still really scared though.
Thereâs where you came in handy diary. Iâm going to give you to him, and heâs going to read everything Iâve been hiding from him. How it all started, all my fears, and the things Iâve been hiding, and my secret feelings for him. How I started to fall in love with him.
Oh god, my hands are sweating now and I canât even hold the pen right. I realized now that Damian is going to read this...
I guess Iâm no longer addressing this to âDiaryâ. This is for you Damian.
I love you. If you read from the first entry, youâll know how it started, and I know itâs kinda dumb haha. But I really do love you. Sometimes too much that it hurts and I canât sleep at night. Whenever I see you, I imagine a future where Iâll get to see your smiling face beside me for the rest of my life. I want to hold your hand like we did when weâre kids and doesnât know any better. I want to kiss your cheek again like I did before everyone decided itâs too weird for two grown boys to kiss each other. I just want to love you and be with you.
Iâll understand if you donât feel the same, I just hoped you won't see me differently, or avoid me. Itâs okay if you reject me, or stay away from me for a few weeks maybe, I just hoped we can stay friends. Even though we won't be more than friends, Iâll take what you offer. No matter what, Iâll be your best friend, and nothing can change that but you.
Iâm probably too nervous to see you. So, put this on my backpack for a no, and put it on my locker for a yes.
Feel free to write in a reply. Iâll be waiting.â
Damian chuckles that soon turns into a full wet laugh. He closed the book, with a content smile on his face, now heâs ready to meet Jon.
He walks around the back of the house.
The sunflowers are taken care of now since the Kents moved in here. Once, between the dense bright green stems that soars tall to the sky and sunflowers facing the sun, he was short enough to hide in it.
The dirt pathway that splits the field in the middle leads to a big oak tree at the end of the lane. It rooted right at the feet of the knolls that still counted as Kentâs property. Itâs never changing from he last saw it as if stuck in time, or the years that passed is nothing but a blink for the ancient tree. It has the same branches, and the same leaves as Damian remembered.
In the summer break, when it was too hot to stay indoors, he and Jon would sit under that treeâs shadow with cold beverages and Loisâ apple pie with ice cream on top. Talking about nonsense, or drawing, or playing with dirt, stick, and stones. It was all nonsensical for Damian who always taught to be an adult at an early age, but he enjoys letting himself do unproductive fun with Jon and not be ridiculed. Then at night, they would climb to the top of the knoll and camp there, roasting marshmallows and watched the stars.
In this farm, that time, he was a child. He was having fun.
Under the tall oak tree, the lights that passed its many branches and leaves would land on his face, as he laid there beside Jon. Often, he would look to his side, dark hair laid to frame his pale face that blotched with hints of pink, the way his face reflected the sunlight, he looked like an angel. Â His blue irises reflect lights like diamonds and a smile that outshines the sun. Jon was beautiful.
Stepping into the shadow of the mighty tree, Damian felt his heart drops to the soft pasture on his feet. The breath he exhaled shakes and he puts all his strength to hold onto Jonâs diary.
âHello, Jon,â Damian whispered under his breath.
Despite the pain, Damian couldnât even express a tinge of it. Itâs really been too long since he last visits this place.
On the trimmed grass, Damian kneels in front of Jonâs headstone. The upright monument bevels from the five-centimeter base thatâs surrounded in wildflowers. A design of light grey granite with gold linings and Jonâs name in white. A mound and flowers carved at the top and the headstone reaching just below Damianâs chest.
His name is looking towards the fields where they spent their childhood. Itâs a perfect place filled with memory for Jon to rest. Where heâll get sun, stars, nature, and family always by his side.
The day is bright and sunny without any clouds in the sky, and the sun shines on the petals of the sunflowers. They are all looking up to the sun, bringing out their golden hue.
âIs this why you came to my dreams? To make me come here and give you my reply?â Damian asked to the nothingness, and no one answers.
But Damian gave what Jon wanted anyway.
âSince I was born, I was given purposes, duties, a place to fill and expectations to meet. I have the name, and resources to get there. Most people approach to have that benefit from me, and Iâll only tend to them who I can also benefit from. You are someone who asks nothing of me but my company. Not my name, not my position, not my privileges, not my responsibilities, not my resources, just me. Everything I own, borrowed or owed from my family and ancestors, but you? Youâve been mine the moment you held my hand when you thought I wouldnât notice. When you kissed my cheek before youâre too ashamed to be seen by others.â
The afternoon sun was too dazzling, and his vision starts to blur. So, Damian closes his eyes, and his knees gave up, making him sit instead.
âIf you had asked for my love, I wouldâve given it to you in a heartbeat.â Damian sighed, and all the strength in his body left with his breath. âI wouldâve stayed here forever if you wanted me to, but when you left, itâs painful to stay. So I ran away from this place.â
The lights getting too bright, heâs starting to lose his balance. His head lulled from side to side, he suddenly feels tired. He scoots forward a bit and lay down on the grass beside Jon. Looking up to the veined branches and tiny dense leaves. A few lights breached through, they look like dots, shining bright light stars. Jon and Damian used to pretend theyâre constellation made for them.
âIâm sorry I havenât visited, I couldnât... I was scared too.â
He doesnât know when he closed his eyes, but when the lights return, he is no longer at the back of Kentâs farm under the oak tree.
It was the school's hallway. Theyâre in their middle school uniform, the bell just rang so there were no kids around. They talked as they were going to their separate classes.
One thing had led to another, and Jon asked, âHey Dami? Whereâre you planning to go for university?â
âWe haven't even finished middle school yet.â
âHumor me! Just wanna know.â
âMy mother chose that for me already, probably somewhere in Brittain.â
âWh-what? That far?â Jon was for the lack of a better word, caught off guard like itâs so far from what he expected.
âYes, I donât have control over that.â
âBut why? I thought your mom lets you do stuff on your own now.â
Damian laughed out loud, âHell would freeze before that happens. Al-Ghuls forge their children as the previous generation sees fit. It was done for my mother by my grandfather, and it is done for me by her. Soon, with the fiancee of her choice, I will have a child on my own and forge them.â
âFi-fiancee?â
âYes, Iâve met her. Sheâs older than me by four years. Weâll marry when I have come of age and established a position in the League of Al-Ghuls, and you, of course, without a doubt will be my best man. Thereâs a list of accomplishment of what I need to do the moment I was born. The Al-Ghul family line is prestigious, and I canât say Iâm pressured when I can execute every expectation perfectly without a struggle. But, Iâm pushing my motherâs patience for staying here until high school. So I have to meet her demands for university no-â
Damian realized after a few steps of his own that Jon didnât follow. When he turned around, Jon had tears pouring cats and dogs from his sky orbs of blue. Hand clenched into a shaking fist, Jon pursed his lips and looks at Damian as if one of them just died.
Never in their years of friendship did Damian ever made Jon cry, not even when Damian had pushed Jon away before.
Seeing Jon cry as if the world falls apart, Damian didnât know what to say. He wanted to apologize but he didnât know what he did wrong. So, Damian did what he can do. They skipped class for the first time, and slip into the empty gymnasium. When theyâre alone there, they sit by the bleachers and Damian put his arms around his shoulder as long as he cried.
There are so many things Damian wanted to ask, say, and do that are different.
He wanted to say, âTell me whatâs wrong.â His replayed memory let the word be said.
Little 15-year-old Jon looks at him, âNo, Dami... Iâm just afraid.â
âYou claimed to know me but you don't! I donât want to lose you too!â Damian exclaimed. His words echo meaninglessly to the imagery that long passed.
Jon said nothing. He had said nothing for a long time back then, just crying on his shoulder as Damian foolishly keeps silent.
A bright light flashed across his eyes and everything is white. When color returns, Jon is no longer in his arms.
He was in the school hallway, he remembered this feeling of dread cooking in his gut that tells him to turn around and leave, but he wanted to see Jon more. To confront him about why he cried after his restlessness finally able to break his apathy.
It was their first day of school in 2011 after the new year holiday. Damian remembered it like it just happened yesterday. He was âdespite his disdain of breaking the rules- running down the halls because he woke up late. Alfred had thought he was sick and let him be, but what happened was, Damian couldnât sleep because heâs nervous about asking Jon why he cried. It bothered him until Damian finally felt that enough is enough. He needed to talk to Jon about it, and he psyched himself to do it until 3 am.
While he was running to his class, he heard a loud bang from the end of the hall. Children were screaming as the continuous sound of what Damian had identified as gunshots, fired repeatedly like a machine gun.
Damian had just arrived, heâs near the exit and he easily turned around ran out of the building.
Thereâre a lot of kids following him to run outside in a panic and on their phones, Damian did that too. And the first one he called was Jon, who doesnât pick up. Then he tried Clark, who fell on voice mail, and then he tried Lois who finally picked up.
âLois? Whereâs Jon? Thereâs a shooting happening, donât come!â
âOh, Oh dear God.., I already drop him to school.â
Damian blanked out, and the next thing he did was run back into the school building the same way he came out. Jon had AP Science for the first period, and Damian ran towards that class without a second thought.
Thereâs laughter growing closer down the hall mixed with pleading and cries. Quickly, before the voice grew too close, Damian hid on the janitorâs closet with the louvered door.
He could hear his heartbeat pounding in his ears when the weight of the situation finally settled on him. Thereâs a killer on the loose, and they had guns. From the shots that fired, and the sudden silence, thereâs a possibility that someone couldâve already...
Damian heard screaming growing closer and running steps.
From the space between the parallel bars on the door, Damian peeked out to the halls, seeing a couple of school's running and pass. But before they could disappear from Damianâs eyesight, shots fired, and red dots appear on their back before they fell flat on the floor.
A boy giggled maniacally and ran pass the hall holding an assault rifle. The boy was a senior, someone from Damianâs class. The gunshots continue, followed by children screaming, but itâs further now. Damianâs fear of his life redirected to his fear of Jonâs life. Once again, he tried calling Jonâs phone as he steps out of the closet. The gunshots were far away now, and the school was awfully quiet.
At long last, he finally heard Jonâs ringtone.
Damian ran as quick as he can, towards the voice of the ringtone that was far away from the gunshot.
When he finally reached Jonâs class, which was empty, he sighed in relieve.
They had an emergency exit plan in case of disasters happened. Damian followed the sign that hung from the ceiling and follows the pathway to the exit. The more he ran, the more body he found. His eyes darted around the barely developed bodies lies lifeless on their own of pool of blood spilled on the white tiles.
Damian tried calling Jonâs phone again.
He heard his ring tone. A melancholic piano and a voice singing gently with his smooth voice. Damian sought that familiar melody in the dead silence of the hallway.
It was Jonâs favorite song, one among many on the CD they often play on a portable cd player when they go camping. The song calmed him, makes him focused as his feet stepped over the bodies in the halls. On accident, His feet stepped on blood once too many times in his horror. Reciting the lyrics helped himself from breaking down.
âI-I'll find repose in new ways though I haven't slept in two days, cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone. But drenched in van-n-nilla twilight, I'll sit on the front porch all night. Waist deep in thought because when I think of you I don't feel so alone. I don't feel so alone...â
The song was finally loud and clear. He made a turn to the left, and the exit is right at the end of that hall. Some bodies laid right before they reach it, those were people who didnât make it.
Vanilla twilight is still playing, and he knows where itâs from. A dim light shines through front trousers pocket in one of the body laying down the halls.
Damian hangs up, and the light goes out too.
What was he hoping for when Damian walks closer to that body? The black-haired boy looks away from him as if sparing him, giving him a chance to look away. But Damian persists, walking towards the body that laid still on the floor with two growing red spots on his chest. Kneeling beside the body, right on the pool of red, with trembling hands, Damian slowly held his face and turns it to face him.
The skin was still warm to the touch, and the face that he adores with its soft features doesnât even move the tiniest muscle. A few strands of his soft curls stick on his face. A pair of unmoving eyes stared back at Damian, a haunting sight how empty they were.
Every drop of blood in Damianâs body turns cold. His hands trembled as he held Jonâs face. A light came into view from the end of the hall right in front of him. He saw Jonâs pupils constrict when the lights hits.
âJon?â Damian called, rubbing his face gently, but Jon still didnât move at all.
The next thing he knew he was lifted by the stomach and a lot of grown-ups yelling and running from the light.
Whatever their face looks like, itâs blurry. Whatever they said, itâs wispy. Whatâs clear as day is Jonâs eyes on him as Damian was taken away.
âWait!â He heard himself say, âDonât take me away, let me stay here. Jon!â No one heard him.
He was a light tween and in shock, he barely put up a fight. His hands reached out to Jon, but the man that carried him ignored his plea.
It was the last time Damian ever saw Jon.
Damian didnât even walk up to his casket on the funeral home, he doesnât want to see Jon with his eyes closed.
After he finished middle school, he left to Saudi Arabia, continuing the task his mother planned for him ever since he was in her stomach. It served as Damianâs goal, a distraction, something to occupy his mind.
Years passed and heâs married to his work more than he is to his wife. To be fair, so is she. He rarely stays long in Gotham. Only a day or two for business trips, and he left as soon as he can. Then it became a habit to avoid ever coming to Gotham.
Damian was raised like an heir, but Jon makes him feel human, a kid, a teenager. The first person that ever make him feels like, well, a regular person. He got a taste of family and love. Jon taught him that itâs not shameful to be vulnerable. For the first time, Damian felt happy. Not accomplishment after succeeding a task. Not relieve when he doesnât make a mistake. Just pure happiness.
Thereâs nothing left in this city if Jon is not here.
That is, until the dreams of him crying, like heâs trying to take him back here.
Damian had felt numb since Jon left. He doesnât let himself remember the bad or the end, only the good.
He doesnât let himself misses Jon.
But he did. Every single day since that day there has been a whole in the shape of him in Damianâs chest. And every day since that day, Damian had gotten better at ignoring it.
Even so, the past still caught up with him. Damian still canât forget, and he canât pretend it didnât happen anymore.
Damian wakes up sobbing, crouching in a fetal position towards Jonâs grave. His tears flow like rivers on a rainy day. Tucked his head on his knees, Damian hugs himself as he cried out his chest over his loss after ten years of keeping it in his tight lidded heart
A hand landed on his back, and slowly, Damian looks up and see Lois with a slight curl on her lips and sad doe eyes.
âDid you ever said goodbye?â
âI didnât want to, I didnât want to let him go.â Damian croaks.
Lois pulls his arms up and caught him in a hug. Damian quick to latch on too, holding onto her back. Her long fingers rub the top of Damianâs head in slow languid movement. Rocking him slightly side to side.
âI think youâre here for a reason,â Lois comforts, âWhy else would you come after ten years without looking back?â
Damian looks over her shoulder, to the fields of sunflowers that faces west, to the glow that starts to orange.
âThe dreams. I dreamt of him crying. I just... wanted to say Iâm sorry for making him cry.â
âBut my son died.â
âNot to me,â Damian persists, and immediately realized what he just said, âI never... It all happened so quickly. I saw him the day before, I was here with you and Clark and Jon to see fireworks, and the next day he... I just canât... Iâm not ready to let him go just yet, Lois I canât--â
âI know, Damian. Believe me, I know how it felt... But youâve met now, youâre here.â Lois keeps rubbing his back.
âDo... Do you think he brought me here?â
Lois chuckled, and it puts a weak smile on Damian too. âHe wanted you to know how he felt, he wanted you to mourn him, and he knows the only one that can bring you to do that, is himself.â
Jonâs crying in his memory had brought him here. Maybe the sudden reminder is not a coincidence. The sunset grows dark, and after taking a deep slow breath, Damian closed his eyes. His mind takes him back to the last scene of his dream.
The memory didnât change, nor was it a mere dream. He canât forget the last day he saw Jon like itâs a cursed blessing.
But now, with his eyes closed and Lois familiar smell to Jonâs, he remembers that moment even clearer and with more details.
A police officer was the one that carried Damian out of the hallways filled with dead kids. Paramedics run in from the opposite way of where he was taken. One of them kneels beside Jonâs body, while his eyes are still at him, shining like the lake under the blue sky, like how Jon always sees him. The paramedic pressed their fingers on Jonâs neck and started to press the wounds. Jonâs eyelids twitched like a dying flutter of butterfly wings still trying to fly. And Damian sees that, sees that Jon is still alive as he was taken.
Do you know why I always smiled, Damian? He heard Jon says, but his lips donât move.
In their last moment together, even as theyâre being separated, they get to see each other one last time. With the last energy he had, though it was weak and faint, Jon was smiling at him.
Because I was with you.
Damian breathes in as he opens his eyes to meet the sunset again, and tears roll down to Loisâ shoulder. Was he imagining his voice? Somehow, for whatever the answer is, Damian accepts it.
âLois, he was alive.â
âHe was critical when the paramedics found him, thereâs nothing they can do,â Lois corrected, her voice cracks, âAnd Iâm glad youâre the last thing he sees.â
Slowly, she retracts just enough to hold Damianâs face and wipes his wet cheeks with her thumbs. She looked just like Jon. His look of compassion, feminine nose and those earnest blue eyes, all he got from her.
âWhat am I going to do now?â Damian faltered.
âYouâre going to cry your heart out until itâs satisfied, and then, you move on.â
Damian bites his lips, and eyes pooled with a new wave of tears, âI donât want to forget him.â
âIâm not telling you to. Moving on is not forgetting. Itâs coming to terms with loss, and when you remember him, it wonât hurt as much. Itâs going to be a long process, especially when you never even started. But youâre welcome to come and talk to him, or just to visit me and Clark. Youâre not alone, weâre going to be fine.â
What Lois said is just still too hard to accept, but the one who weeps the most was her when she drove to the school right after Damianâs call and sees Jonâs body in a bag. If she can do it, maybe itâs worth a try for Damian.
âThank you, Lois... Can you leave me with him for a bit, please?â
âOf course sweetheart,â She complied, patting Damian on the back before she stands up and leaves.
Damian takes his attention to the knoll behind him. Itâs lush from the bottom to the top. When he looks up, the gaps between leaves and branches no longer glares with light like stars since the sun is setting. The sunflower fields are dense and healthy, and the pasture around them is lush, pillowy and green. Itâs a pretty sight, one thatâll never be the same.
Damian looks down to the placard on Jonâs headstone.
âThank you for telling me,â Damian traces the name Jonathan Samuel Kent on the placard. âThank you for bringing me here,â his fingers move down to the year, 1995 â 2011.
âMy life was a script. I never mind it, but when I saw you, smiling without a care in the world, made me feel that happiness too. For a short moment, my mind went, oh, this is not so bad, maybe I wanted this. I see you, and I see and felt... freedom, that I can choose you instead of whatâs chosen for me. I found happiness with you... but you left before I get to say it, before I even knew what that feeling meant.â
His tears roll down again, even after the storm he shed, somehow he still have another coming. This is the most he cried in all his life. Ten years worth of sorrow and despair. Thereâs going to be more of these in the future, heâll have a hard time sleeping, and heâll cry whenever he re-read his diary, or see their picture on his old room.
Yet somehow, Damian finds himself cracking a smile as he looks down to Jonâs grave. When he remembers Jon crying in his dreams, he doesnât feel guilty anymore. Even though he knows Jon cried because of him, evidently, it was no oneâs fault.
Jon cried because he loved him.
âIâve loved you too, Jonathan Kent.â

Donât ask why I keep subjecting myself to this, because I donât have a good answer.
More of this awful book.
Skimmed the rest of chapter 13. Nothing terribly interesting, Mizpra being all excited for her mother possibly having a stroke when the train's altitude changes, talk about how weak and pitiful Burke is (and, for some reason, to keep him from "catching cold" she makes him strip and wrap up in two wool blankets which seems like it'd be incredibly itchy), Mizpra tries to hasten the whole "give mom a stroke" thing by getting her mother day drunk.
A lot of references to alcohol being a stimulant again which, no.
Burke shows a little concern for Mizpra keeping her mother drunk and outside on an observation platform all damn day, so she tells him to go back inside and stop bothering them.
Wasn't at all concerned that her mother's face was turning blue because that's a normal thing I guess, shakes her mother awake, and of course her mother has the sroke and now she's just, "Oh shi--wait a minute, I didn't consider what might happen if the stroke kills her!" Not the best planning, Mizpra.
So she starts drinking and talking at her possibly dying mother about how she's going to ruin Obera's life.
And, like every poorly written villain in fiction, she says something ridiculous to herself: "Hell hath no horror; Heaven hath no hope."
At this point, I'd agree with her, only just in regards to this book.
Chapter 14 and we're back to Leigh.
Rev. Bald, we find out, knows a lot about alcohol and doesn't like his collar or waistcoat.
Finds out in a letter from Mizpra that he'll get paid once she's got proof of her brother's life being in shambles again.
For the time, five thousand per year as long as Leigh is in prison isn't all that bad; he really needs to step his game up because so far all he's done is invite the guy to hang out once, got shut down by Obera, and left.
"[...] literally poured the liquor down his throat," yeah, that's how drinking works.
He goes off for a good eight or so pages about how it's no crime to be poor out of absolutely nowhere. I mean, he's not wrong but why is he talking about it to the walls of his library?
Oh look, Leigh came to visit under false pretenses and seems to suspect that's the case but decided not to worry his on vacation wife and did exactly what he told her he wouldn't: Hang out with Rev. Bald.
Because he's a genius, he suspects Rev. Bald is being paid off by Mizpra to fuck up their lives and also thinks he'd sell her out if he was ever discovered. At this point you know damn well Leigh is basically the author because there's no reason at all Leigh would even HAVE that suspicion unless he'd been reading along with the rest of us.
Anyway, he got lured out there under the pretense of seeing or looking at some case of a morphine addict who isn't actually there.
So, because Leigh is a genius and understands everything, including more than most of those who study theology, Rev Bald pretty much plays right into that and says vague, sort of wrong-ish things just so Leigh the Genius will be compelled to correct him at length to, you know, remind everyone that he's a genius and better that everyone at everything.
Because he's a genius and you're not.
And Leigh sits there picking apart religion which might have been interesting if he weren't just sort of repeating himself with more and more pretentious wording.
"Do you know of any religion that has really made man better?" is a perfectly reasonable rhetorical question, at least.
Ah, and Leigh is into Darwin.
But, hey, Rev. Bald tricked Leigh into going out with him. I mean, Leigh would probably just say he's playing along but, you know...
They end up going to a dodgy district where everyone still somehow remembers Leigh from his drinking days. Probably should have picked a different neighborhood, Rev. Bald. It's like you didn't even research your mark.
We find out Leigh doesn't want to go to the first bar because he legit spent an entire week there without bathing or eating or sleeping just drinking and, I have to be honest, if I'd done something like that and was sure the people there would remember me, I probably wouldn't want to go back there either.
They end up in a bar and Leigh is, so far, being good and not drinking and has decided that Rev. Bald was going to be HIS victim--not sure what kind of victim, probably just to out him as working for Mizpra.
Oh hey, it's not just a bar, it's a brothel! Or, as Leigh's narrative describes it, a "dark, opprobrious den of crime and shame." Turns out he doesn't like makeup either, especially red lipstick because, as we all know, only whores wear that.
And now he's remembering some murder scene in the same place because not only is he a doctor, author, scholar, philosopher, and Merlin knows what else, he's ALSO a detective I guess!
I have to admit the memory of one of the workers at the place punching an actual, been there long enough to be bloated corpse because when you do that it makes apparently amusing sounds for the crowd of other people there who also found this amusing was, in and of itself, so absurd it made me laugh.
I'm sure it was meant to be horrifying but you can't read something like, "Over the prostrate victim bent the diseased-eaten harridan. She was amusing her companions by punching the inflated tissues, laughing and shrieking at the crackling, whistling effect it produced, while the dank denizens of the place gave vent to their pleasure by libidinous expressions and Paphian oaths," and NOT laugh.
Also the author is trying to tell us that, when he went to pull the punchy prostitute away from the corpse, her wig came off and her brain was straight up exposed through her "rotting skull".
For a fucking doctor you'd think he'd know that there is no actual way she'd be alive so unless he hallucinated this zombie prostitute...
So he thinks he's being taken to see the morphine addict and, of course, it's just a prostitute. She might also be a morphine addict but not the one Rev. Bald was describing as near death.
"Various odors in the room seemed to run in strata, as each step brought visitors to a different zone of pungent, offensive odors."
What are they?
Cigarettes, beer, lobster somehow, butter, cheap perfume.
I've been in worse rooms.
So she apparently IS the morphine addict he was talking about earlier, not like Leigh believes it, and Rev. Bald is going to just go ahead and leave the good doctor alone with her.
Leigh's first, uh, method of examination is to lift her arm, stroke her armpit, then drop her and move closer to the light to...look at his fingers. What the hell?
She was cool with it the first time but when he did it again she kind of freaked out which is perfectly understandable.
So there was a guy hiding in the curtains that was meant to jump Leigh but, Leigh being Leigh and good at everything, noticed him first and gave him a one punch knock out because Leigh is just that awesome.
And somehow Leigh, Rev. Bald, the woman, and the unconscious man are all locked in this nasty little room, the woman is going to apparently beat the hell out of Bald and broke a bottle over his head then, satisfied with that, shouts over to Leigh to continue beating the hell out of Rev. Bald because he'd set up the other guy to jump him.
Probably not a good idea to take Leigh to a brothel where everyone knew him.
She keeps smacking Bald in the head with a glass bottle and finally Leigh stops her before, y'know, she kills him. His reasoning for that was that killing him would be inconvenient for everyone which is fair enough.
Short conversation of, "Well if either one of them is dead we're both screwed, let's clean up the blood and I'll go get a police officer or whatever."
He comes back and--she's tried to redo her makeup to get back to work but there's this line about her hiding her powder puff: "[...] which she quickly hid in the bosom of her waist"--I don't think I want to know where she put that powder puff but I really hope she washes it before using it on her face again.
The lady then starts lecturing the mostly not conscious guy on the floor of her room about how it's his fault she's a prostitute somehow; based on how she's talking about money, sounds like she's one of his girls.
And that's it for chapter 15.
Chapter 16 is some flashback from the brothel woman about how she met Leigh; of course, since he's a genius doctor he offered, for free, to give her "deformed and useless" child whatever operation it is he needed. It's never specified, just that the kid is "deformed".
Also a lot of references to "dirty Poles" because it's gross to have to listen to Polish in an emergency room I guess.
Anyway, he's like The Saint Doctor who gives free medical care to everyone because he's a genius (of course) and none of the other doctors understand him. Also, he was just paying for everyone's medical care out of pocket because at some point, through one of the time skips, he went from jobless drunk to highly esteemed and rich author, lecturer, doctor, and scholar.
Getting really tired of Leigh.
She gets jolted out of her daydream when the train stops.She asks the "kindly old Irishman" who was cleaning up the station if she could hang out, he figures she's sober, so he says she can and she goes back to daydreaming about Leigh.
Whatever was wrong with her "deformed" kid was fixed and he's apparently recovered and Leigh arranged for the kid to be basically put in a foster home at some farm because that was apparently legal at one point, to just--give other peoples kids to someone else with no oversight.
Her name is May, we find out two chapters fucking late.
And she was somehow the thing that got him to clean his act up because that's how addiction works.
Now she's not daydreaming anymore because the train is about to arrive.
Chapter 17 is more of the same of these two catching up and talking about Rev. Bald being kind of a dick.
Also, who talks like this? "In his presence the finer feelings of her sex were aroused, her self-respect was active; and he knew it."
REALLY tired of Leigh now.
Basically, between really awkward sort of flirting we find out what anyone reading figured out several chapters ago: Mizpra is a terrible planner when it comes to remotely murdering people and Rev. Bald is proof of that because he basically fucked it up the first night.
And now he's going to go introduce his prostitute friend to Mops.
I feel like that's something he should have discussed with Obera first?
Ah yes, back to "masculine voiced women" who are, of course, matrons at some kind of--I don't even know what at this point, and I don't really care but of course, the women the author wants to have us view as bad are always mascluline in some way and are occasionally also fat and clumsy.
Like he's got any room to talk. I've seen photographs.
Oh of course, a religious boarding house for children of prostitutes where the manly, fat, clumsy women routinely berate the children.
In fairness, places like that did exist until fairly recently so I'm okay with the author kind of dragging them.
Ah, yes, Obera, gone from child-like and saucy to, "[...] radiantly beautiful, and in that full activity of healthy womanhood, which only true love and motherhood can develop."
Anyway, she starts begging Leigh to just straight up murder Mizpra, has a crying fit, then falls asleep and he starts waxing poetic about how her tiny little woman brain can't fully understand the situation.
Of course, Obera doesn't want the prostitute to see Mops because she's a "horrid, bad woman".
And that's it for chapter 17.

Books I Read in 2018: Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
âMaybe that's why superheroes wore capes. Maybe they weren't capes at all, but safety blankets, like the one Aru kept at the bottom of her bed and pulled up under her chin before she went to sleep. Maybe superheroes just tied their blankies around their necks so they'd have a little bit of comfort wherever they went. Because honestly? Saving the world was scary. No harm admitting that.â
âIt is not failure to fail.â
âThis is what we get for thinking that scaley orange skin and fake hair could keep that former demon out of elected office.
âYou are the Daughter of Death," hissed Aru. "You don't walk into a telephone pole because of a boy.â
âAru was twelve years old. Even she knew that half the time she didn't know what she was doing.â
Twelve-year-old Aru Shah has a tendency to stretch the truth in order to fit in at school. While her classmates are jetting off to family vacations in exotic locales, she'll be spending her autumn break at home, in the Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture, waiting for her mom to return from her latest archeological trip. Is it any wonder that Aru makes up stories about being royalty, traveling to Paris, and having a chauffeur? One day, three schoolmates show up at Aru's doorstep to catch her in a lie. They don't believe her claim that the museum's Lamp of Bharata is cursed, and they dare Aru to prove it. Just a quick light, Aru thinks. Then she can get herself out of this mess and never ever fib again. But lighting the lamp has dire consequences. She unwittingly frees the Sleeper, an ancient demon whose duty it is to awaken the God of Destruction. Her classmates and beloved mother are frozen in time, and it's up to Aru to save them. The only way to stop the demon is to find the reincarnations of the five legendary Pandava brothers, protagonists of the Hindu epic poem, the Mahabharata, and journey through the Kingdom of Death. But how is one girl in Spider-Man pajamas supposed to do all that
------------
I first heard about Roshani Chokshi when her novel The Star-Touched Queen debuted back in like 2016. The elevator pitch Iâd heard for it was âHades and Persephone but with Indian mythology.â Iâm a HUGE sucker for Hades & Persephone, always have been. So of course I snatched that up, and fell in love with Maya, with the beautifully lyrical and poetic prose, and with Roshani Chokshiâs way of painting her different worlds. Out of the four books she has out right now, I only have one left to read (A Crown of Wishes). Sheâs brilliant, and when I found out she was expanding to Middle-Grade, I knew I had to see what was up with her newest book
So what can I say about Aru-Shah and the End of Time? Well, some people might compare it to Percy Jackson - itâs a somewhat similar concept, the children of gods fighting monsters to save the world. Probably why Aru Shah is the first book from Rick Riordanâs new imprint from Disney Hyperion (the man is doing the Lordâs work, not gonna lie). But if I were to compare Aru Shah and the End of Time to Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief...itâs better. Itâs SO MUCH better (no offense, Rick).
See, I like Percy. I like the series and I like him. But the first book was a bit shallow. To be fair, it came out at a time when middle-grade was still fighting to be allowed to hold the same depths as some of the âmore risqueâ YA of the time, like having queer characters, or characters with mental health issues, or what have you. At the time PJ:LT came out, most middle-grade fantasies werenât allowed to have that kind of stuff. Thankfully Rick Riordan helped pave the way for publishers to realize, oh, shoot, middle-grade can have a lot of the same depth as YA, holy gosh (other helpers in the cause are Tahereh Mafi and JK Rowling, although more points go to Ms. Mafi). So why is Aru Shah better than Percy Jackson?
Itâs deeper. Itâs richer. Itâs more diverse. Some of you might think, well of course itâs more diverse, itâs Indian mythology. No, no, no. You donât understand. Itâs amazing. We have two Indian girls teaming up to save the world, one with extreme anxiety and OCD who wants to be a doctor, who casually mentions her gay hero brother without it being a big deal. We have a series set up to put together a team of five young Indian women who fight monsters and save the world.Â
Thereâs a former villain who learns to love, who does honor to the two female leads. The tasks and challenges are clever and fun, with a touch of whimsy but still as action-packed and engaging as any adventure in Artemis Fowl or Harry Potter. We have a girl from a single-parent home whoâs always wanted more of a family, and she gets one - as soon as Aru meets Mini, one of the other reborn Pandavas, they start calling each other âsisterâ and vow never to turn their backs on each other. Thereâs a brief moment where this is put to the test, but the girls get over it and reconcile easily.
One of the best things about Aru, the character, is how accepting she is of Mini after they meet. Mini can be a little high-maintenance, and at first Aruâs a little exasperated, but it doesnât take long for her to realize Mini has severe OCD (instead of high-fives, they bump elbows) and anxiety. In fact, Miniâs a lot like me. And while sometimes Mini will say something and Aru will be like, âWait, really?â after a minute sheâs just like, âOkay, sure. If thatâs what you need.âÂ
When they pull off some daring-dos near the end of the book, Aru offers her elbow for a bump without having to be reminded of the no-hands rule. Even better, Mini doesnât just decide to high-five Aru at the end. Sheâs still OCD, still freaks out over germs, and Aru doesnât mind. And while Mini does sometimes panic, Aru is mostly very understanding and helps her get through her panic attacks. When Mini expresses fear that Aru will abandon her because of her anxiety and âother flaws,â Aru not only promises she wonât, but puts a spin on it that helps sooth Miniâs fears (Aru gets hung up about this and wonders if sheâs lying; Iâll touch on that near the end).
The villains were interesting, the mythology is fairly new which means explanations can be provided in a fun way and itâs not stuff we readers have been told ten million times. I was honestly surprised by the identity of Aru and Miniâs fathers (who arenât their biological fathers; these Indian gods imbued the girlsâ souls with...soul DNA? Thatâs not what they call it, I just donât know if I can explain it any other way). Also, as a fan of The Star-Touched Queen, I had to wonder - did Maya have anything to do with Miniâs powers?
You know how in Percy Jackson the kids get neat doo-dads that turn into magical stuff? Like a pen into a sword, Thaliaâs bracelet into that one shield, Lukeâs winged sneakers, blah blah? Aru gets a golden tennis ball and Mini gets a purple compact. Not a big deal? Ah ha, au contraire. Those items are the glamoured belongings of the god of thunder and the god of death, and theyâre actually pretty cool - but also pretty!
This book is just...fun. Itâs SO FUN. The monsters are new, the tasks are original, the characters are cute, and I loved it.
Letâs talk about the thing I love most: Aru Shah. Roshani Chokshi has the interesting ability to create characters that are basically me. Not physically, not according to age or race, but with Night, with Maya, and now with Aru, she creates female leads who speak to me on a fundamental level.Â
This time, itâs Aru, whoâs basically Loki from Loki: Agent of Asgard except female instead of genderfluid, 12 years old, and Indian. In L:AoA, thereâs a scene in the final bindup where Loki indentifies themself (first in femme-presenting form, then in masc-presenting form) as the moon goddess, the god of stories. Aru is the personification of that.Â
Something that gets said a lot in the book is, âYouâre a liar, Aru Shah.â But sheâs not. Sheâs a storyteller, a world-changer, someone who refuses to view the world as bleak and terrible and uses the gift of words to make it better for herself and the people sheâs loves. Sheâs an optimist who fights with words and thinks fast on her feet. Sheâs a daughter of Lord Indra the Thunderer and a reincarnation of the greatest of the Pandava Brothers. Sheâs the moon goddess, the god of stories, someone I wouldâve idolized (or possibly gotten a crush on) if Iâd read this as a kid, and I love her. I will follow her to the end.
Also she better get as many books as Percy did (so like...15 books).
There were only two complaints, really. One, Aru was rather preoccupied with boogers (it came up like 5 times). I mean, I know sheâs a tween, but still. Two, I saw the plot twist with her dad coming from a mile away.
Plot: ž star Characterization: 1 star World Building: 1 star Word Choice: ž star Realism: 1 starÂ
- Âź star for copious snot (ew)
+ Âź star for positive portrayal of a character with anxiety and OCD
+ Âź star for having a 12-year-old girl in Spider-Man pajamas saving the world, okay?Â
In total: 4.75/5 stars
Would I Buy It: I did! Now I need the next one!
Would I Recommend It: READ THIS BOOK, PEOPLE!!! Itâs so cute, seriously.
I was asked to tag @magic-in-every-book so hereâs my Aru review! :)
All pics were stock photos manipulated by me in Photoshop or in the public domain. Except the painting of the Pandavas. Thatâs from Wikipedia.

Iâll Say âI Love Youâ Until We Get Along - Aishiteru [12/15]
Summary: Begotten by the gods, Ardyn has sought to return the favor, their precious world to burn. Until he runs into you, a cherished reminder of his past that he thought to have closed his heart to centuries ago. Now, however, he finds your heart sealed shut to him, and he is determined to pry it open one way or another. Prequel and sequel to âThe Most Beautiful Boogie Manâ
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Reader/Ardyn
[Previous Chapter]
[Next Chapter]
HELLO EVERYONE! I know with this fic Iâve delved into Ardynâs more vulnerable, anguished side, but upon finishing Episode Ignis, I was reminded how much of a bastard he really is :^) Still! It was nice to see more of his backstory, especially amusing for me considering what Iâve written out for this fic~
Anyhow, as we near the end of this story, Iâve been anticipating this chapterâs posting so much, as it--and really, the fic overall--draws inspiration from Phoenixâs âTelefonoâ, which stands to be another of my favorite tracks from Ti Amo! I suggest giving it a listen, as I feel the lyrics speak to Ardynâs type of affection, in addition to it just being a lovely song overall~
That said, I do hope you enjoy!
--------------------
Ten years left until this was either all over or prolonged until eternity.
Noctis had been thrown into the Crystal at last, left to power through whatever his ancestors had in store for him.
Now it was just a matter of waiting.
A decade meant nothing to an immortal like Ardyn. That was like a brief nap for him.
Perhaps not so for the likes of Prompto, Ignis, and Gladiolus. The three made for some impressive friends, with how they were quick to retaliate against him for what he did to Noctis. But as he made it clear that their weapons were useless to a daemon like him, he didn't miss the opportunity to chime in on their incompetence.
Especially when he snatched you away before their very eyes, all too helpless to do anything to stop him.
As much as he was looking forward to begin settling things with Noctis, Ardyn was--of course--more excited to see you again. Gazing at you longingly from security cameras even as he amused himself with the sight of you wielding a brand new sword, he thought back to when he first realized that you first returned to his life and how his--by unfortunate circumstances--everlasting love for you resulted in full-blown obsession. Not to mention, the on-going struggle between bestowing reverent affection as your husband and desecrating you with his lusts and perversions.
At least now, he could find reconciliation between the two at last.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Having been fumbling with an old record player that dated back to his reign as king, Ardyn turned around, still crouched upon broken concrete.
Still in your Crownsguard attire, you stood behind him, your expression unreadable.
And around you both was the entirety of the ruined, desolate Insomnia, barren of any signs of life--the daily commotion of citizens going about their day, the afternoon traffic of sleek cars zooming through the city streets, the latest trending musician emitting from the sound speakers of a chic cafe. The fact that it was nightfall seemed to make this even more apparent and jarring.
It was here on this devastated street--one of the biggest boulevards in the entirety of Insomnia--that he began to trail after you, going from dedicated following to something nothing short of maddened obsession.
You spoke up just now. The first words you've uttered to him since you roused out of your sleep.
In more ways than one.
There was no bite to your words, no anguish, no fear.
Just mere and muted curiosity.
Ardyn chuckled with delight, "Ah, what a pleasure to see you awake, my dearest!" Stretching out an arm, he gestured around the empty street. "And I've brought you here for a little waltz of course."
Practically leaping to his feet, his hands clasped together, the joy in his heart immeasurable. "My darling, we've finally returned home together at last! Surely this calls for celebration, no?" With both hands out, he stepped ahead, slowly twirling around as to emphasize his words. "I even sent off the splendid daemons that have inhabited this city out on vacation across all of Eos!"
You remained still, your expression still blank as you comprehended--and still continued to--everything that was and has happened to you thus far.
Noting this, Ardyn smiled gently before he turned back to the record player to pick up something from behind the box. He faced you once again, now holding a light blue record sleeve with a red heart and the words Ti Amo scrawled over the front.
"Some Altissian disco to liven things up, perhaps?" He hummed, pointing at the album with his hand. "Surely you wouldn't mind this one in particular?"
You stared at the sleeve, blinking a few times as you slowly drawled, "The songs on that record--they played when you drove me to the Disc of Cauthess..." Your eyes closed while you took in a drawn out, deliberate breath. "...and when we were on our way to Altissia for our honeymoon."
Ecstasy.
Ardyn smiled. "Welcome home, darling."
Truly, it was like old times. This particular record was one he picked up from a music shop in Altissia while the two of you were out sight-seeing. To be able to listen to the album again with you beside him once more made him feel the most genuine and sweetest of joys, once a foolish fantasy to a man whose heart corroded long ago.
But as his arms parted open, his hands beckoning you to come forth and dance with him, he remained ever hopeful--and desperate--for you to be as willing and eager.
Though slow, though unsure, you took a step.
Forward.
Into his arms, your hands reaching for his.
And so, across the vast, devastated span of Insomnia's main boulevard, the two of you danced together as the couple you once were.
There was a song in his heart, the same one he danced with you to during one late night out in Altissia amidst your honeymoon, one of its piazzas barren due to the hour but ideal for a romantic waltz to the moonlight--so fitting for the moment currently shared between you both.
The look on your face remained unsure. If there was any conflict between your past and current identity, the neutrality evident on your features spoke of a ceasefire.
One that was actually upheld.
His poor darling looked so confused, but he didn't mind--for now, at least. He wouldn't be so ungrateful to not see this dance as the miraculous blessing that it truly was.
Besides, he had to make the most of it, considering...
While one hand lifted your arm as the other rested on your waist for a twirl, Ardyn queried, "So then, what shall you do after this dance, my love?"
"'After'?" The blank look on your face finally changed with confusion. "What do you mean...?"
"Oh, so you're willing to stay with me?" Ardyn responded teasingly, eyes glinting mischievously--even if he would crave for nothing else. "Not that I'd mind~"
"Don't get the wrong idea," you huffed as you were drawn into his arms. Peering up at him, you continued, "...so you're saying you'd let me leave instead of keeping me prisoner?"
The glint dulled but he maintained his smile. "And do that to my beloved wife? Of course not~" His arms circled around your waist, drawing you near and tight while his lips fell by your ear, his breath hot and his voice tender, "All those years ago, I asked for your hand in marriage." Caged in his grasp, you felt his fingertips trail over to your hands, his palms resting on the back of them before gently squeezing. "Surely it would mean I've lost my charm if I had to force you into this, no?"
You shivered and his smile turned wicked, contrast to the gentle expression that formed as soon as he spun you around to face him, his hands cupping your cheeks. Cradling your face delicately, he gazed deeply into your eyes as he purred, leaning forward while the gap between your mouths narrowed, "If I'm giving that incompetent prince time to prepare for his next meeting with me, I can most certainly wait for the final decision of Lucis's finest queen."
Your eyes closed and your breath stilled, expecting for the inevitable.
But then he let you go, even taking a step back.
"Go forth then, darling," he hummed cheerfully, lifting his hand up for a small wave, even as his chest felt painfully strained. "I'll be waiting for our next meeting--as I always have and will."
You looked at him again, your expression mostly unreadable, save for the sad--even mournful--look in your eyes. Still, with the opportunity to leave made present, you knew it was best for you to take it before you had to literally fight for the chance.
It just so happened that the last song on the record began to play while Ardyn watched you turn to leave Insomnia.
To leave him alone once again.
