CâĂ©tait son anniversaire. Il avait 25 ans.
25 ans.
25 ans.
Harry capta ses propres prunelles vertes dans la vitre et sâen dĂ©tourna vivement. Il le vivait mal. Pourtant, sa vie allait de mieux en mieux. AprĂšs avoir Ă©tĂ© virĂ© de chez les Dursley Ă ses 18 ans, il avait logĂ© de canapĂ© en canapĂ© jusquâĂ trouver un vieux studio miteux Ă louer. Il avait accumulĂ© les jobs pour pouvoir payer son loyer sans foutre en lâair toutes les Ă©conomies de ses prĂ©cĂ©dents jobs dâĂ©tĂ©.
Il y a trois ans, il avait Ă©tĂ© embauchĂ© Ă temps complet chez Flowersgood grĂące Ă la bontĂ© de Luna, la fille de la fleuriste quâil avait plusieurs fois aidĂ© Ă retrouver son chemin quand elle se retrouvait invariablement dans la station-essence oĂč il travaillait.
Il avait toujours son studio miteux, mais il allait mieux. Il arrivait mĂȘme Ă Ă©pargner un peu plus grĂące Ă son salaire dâemployĂ© Ă temps complet. Il avait des horaires fixes. Il ne bossait plus la nuit.
AlorsâŠalors pourquoi se sentait-il si pathĂ©tique ?
Parce que tu nâas rien fait de ta vie et que tu mourras sans jamais avoir rien fait de ta vie, seul, dans ce stupide studio.
Harry serra les dents et dĂ©plaça la table mouvante pour finir de nettoyer le sol. Peu importe le nombre de fois quâil passait le balai, lâendroit serait toujours sale Ă cause des allĂ©es et venues des clients, du terreau, de lâeau qui gouttait par terre quand il composait un bouquet et dâune cinquante dâautres facteurs. Tante PĂ©tunia sâen arrachait les cheveux. Ou lui arracherait les cheveux.
Pourquoi tu penses toujours Ă elle ? Tâes incapable de passer Ă autre chose alors que tâas tout pour faire. Pitoyable.
Harry essaya de remplacer ses pensĂ©es vicieuses par la voix de Luna. « Câest normal dâĂȘtre toujours infestĂ© par les Nargoles. Câest comme les pucerons. Câest difficile Ă faire partir. »
Elle avait Ă©videmment oubliĂ© son anniversaire. Elle lui souhaitait tous les ans Ă des dates alĂ©atoires et Harry ne la corrigeait jamais. Il ne savait pas si elle le savait ou non. Il ne savait pas non plus sâil lui avait dĂ©jĂ dit. Peu lui importait. Il nâavait jamais souhaitĂ© son anniversaire. Jamais avec les Dursley, jamais avec ses amis une fois ses 18 ans rĂ©volus. DĂ©jĂ , car il avait peu dâamis. Ensuite, car il nâavait pas les moyens. Et que ce serait gĂȘnant, de toute façon. Il nâavait jamais Ă©tĂ© invitĂ© Ă des anniversaires, sauf ceux de Hermione et Ron, mais câĂ©tait au lycĂ©e et il nâavait jamais pu accepter car il nâavait rien Ă offrir et que les Dursley avaient toujours refusĂ© quâil y aille. Son seul point de rĂ©fĂ©rence Ă©tait ceux de Dudley, mais il nâĂ©tait pas vraiment sĂ»r que ce soit fiable. Tout est toujours dĂ©mesurĂ© avec eux. En bref, il ne savait mĂȘme pas comment se fĂȘtait un anniversaire. Il a toujours Ă©tĂ© seul, Ă se le souhaiter Ă lui-mĂȘme.
Il ne savait mĂȘme pas pourquoi il maintenait cette tradition. Avant, il luttait pour ne pas sâendormir avant minuit et se le souhaiter. Ensuite, câĂ©tait simple, puisquâil nâavait jamais sommeil avant minuitâŠet quâune partie de lui adore fixer lâaiguille se dĂ©placer de minute en minute jusquâĂ lâheure fatidique. Il se disait quâil avait vĂ©cu une annĂ©e de plus. Pourquoi ? Il ne savait pas. Il aimait vivre, malgrĂ© tout. Il aimait vivre pour lâadrĂ©naline dâune figure rĂ©ussie au skateboard, pour la couleur et lâodeur des fleurs, pour les sourires quâil recevait quand il aidait les gens, pour les heures passĂ©es Ă fixer les Ă©toiles, pour les dessins quâil esquissait sur son unique carnet. Des dessins au crayon de papier, quâil gommait ensuite pour pouvoir continuer Ă dessiner. Il ne pouvait pas racheter un autre carnet. Il aimait vivre pour lâĂ©trange sensation de devoir gommer quelque chose dont il Ă©tait fier. Des dessins que personne ne voyait jamais, sauf lui. Et Luna, parfois. Elle lui avait offert un vrai carnet Ă dessin, quâil avait vĂ©hĂ©ment refusĂ© avant quâelle ne lui ordonne de le lui rendre plus tard pour quâelle puisse colorĂ© ses Ćuvres. Luna aimait peindre. Du coup, le carnet Ă©tait principalement recouvert de fleurs. Harry aimait les dessiner, de toute façon.
En fait, il adorait son travail. Fleuriste. Il Ă©tait fleuriste depuis trois ans. Harry remit correctement la table, vĂ©rifia les boutures et parti du cĂŽtĂ© des compositions pour complĂ©ter celles du jour. Il aimait les fleurs dâĂ©tĂ©. Tout Ă©tait colorĂ©, vivant. Il avait passĂ© son enfance Ă entretenir le prix du jardin le plus joli du quartier et il avait aimĂ© ça. Il aimait avoir les mains dans la terre. MĂȘme assoiffĂ©, Ă deux doigts de la dĂ©shydratation sous le soleil de plomb inĂ©vitable du 31 juillet, il aimait entretenir les plantes de PĂ©tunia.
Et aujourdâhui, il Ă©tait toujours en train de sâoccuper de plantes, mĂȘme sâil nây avait plus PĂ©tunia pour le lui ordonner. La boutique Ă©tait fraĂźche, elle sentait lâhumiditĂ©, le terreau, la rose et le jasmin. Ces deux derniĂšres odeurs variaient en fonction dâoĂč il se tenait dans la boutique, mais jamais les deux premiĂšres. CâĂ©taient ses prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©es. Il aimait lâodeur de la terre humide.
Le carillon retentit dans la boutique et Harry releva les yeux, un lĂ©ger sourire aux lĂšvres, essayant dâapercevoir le ou la cliente.
âBonjour ! lança-t-il Ă la cantonade.
Il aperçut un Ă©clat dâor entre les Ă©tagĂšres de dahlias et la voix familiĂšre se fit entendre en rĂ©ponse :
âBonjour.
LâhĂ©ritier Malfoy. Harry sourit franchement tout en se reconcentrant sur son bouquet.
âDraco, quelle bonne surprise. Comment vas-tu ?
âBien. Et toi ?
Harry essaya vaillamment de cacher lâĂ©clat dâangoisse que lui causait cette question. Allait-il bien ? Non. Pourquoi ? Parce que tu ne te contentes pas de ce que tu as. Tu veux toujours plus alors que tu devrais ĂȘtre reconnaissant de ne pas ĂȘtre Ă la rue.
âĂa va, merci. Alors, quelle sorte de bouquet voudrais-tu aujourdâhui ?
Draco Malfoy Ă©tait un client rĂ©gulier. Il Ă©tait presque hebdomadairement invitĂ© Ă un repas dâaffaire ou Ă des dĂźners mondains pour lesquels il apportait systĂ©matiquement des fleurs. Harry apprĂ©ciait le blond, mĂȘme si au premier abord, il lâavait immĂ©diatement dĂ©testĂ©. Mais, bien que riche et dĂ©testable, Draco Ă©tait surtout perpĂ©tuellement Ă©lĂ©gant, possĂ©dait une capacitĂ© dâobservation qui le laissait parfois coi, ne redemandait jamais Ă refaire le bouquet et avait un esprit vif et taquin qui stimulait beaucoup Harry. Leur Ă©change sarcastique faisait sourire plus dâun client Ă portĂ©e dâoreilles.
âRepas de famille. Quelque chose dâexubĂ©rant, colorĂ©, bien garni. Tâas pas lâair dâaller bien.
Pris au dĂ©pourvu, Harry se figea et jeta un coup dâĆil Ă lâhĂ©ritier. Draco Malfoy le fixait. Ses yeux ressemblaient Ă de lâargent en fusion et sa pĂąle figure ne trahissait rien.
âSi, si. Bien garni. ExubĂ©rant. Ta mĂšre ?
Harry se dĂ©pĂȘcha de tirer un noeud dont la boĂźte Ă©tait dissimulĂ©e derriĂšre un ficus et le disposa dans un vase. Des bouquets dĂ©jĂ prĂȘts pour les plus pressĂ©s. Draco Malfoy ne lâĂ©tait jamais. Enfin, apparemment, il avait cessĂ© de lâĂȘtre. Parfois, Luna souriait et disait que grĂące Ă Harry, beaucoup de clients avait cessĂ© dâĂȘtre pressĂ©. La mĂšre de Luna avait une fois plaisantĂ© en disant que Harry Ă©tait la plus belle fleur de la boutique. Harry en rougissait encore.
âOui, ma mĂšre. Tu sais bien quâelle aime les Ă©normes bouquets carâŠ
âElle peut les mettre dans son Ă©norme vase et le bouquet devient la piĂšce maĂźtresse de sa table, termina Harry avec Malfoy.
Celui-ci, un Ă©clair de surprise au fond des yeux, eu un sourire discret. Harry aimait le voir sourire. CâĂ©tait rare. Ses yeux pouvaient parfois revĂȘtir lâĂ©clat dâun certain amusement, mais ses lĂšvres suivaient rarement. Son visage semblait figĂ© dans du marbre.
âJe vois que je me rĂ©pĂšte souvent. Ma conversation ne doit pas ĂȘtre trĂšs agrĂ©able.
âNon, en effet. Tu es lâun de mes clients les plus ennuyants.
âJe ne suis pas sĂ»r que ce soit une chose qui se dise Ă un client aussi fidĂšle que moi. Jâaimerais parler Ă votre patron.
âLa patronne est absente. Je peux transmettre le message, si vous voulez.
âOui. Dites-lui que vous ĂȘtes le vendeur le plus impoli que je nâai jamais rencontrĂ© et que je souhaite votre renvoi dans les plus brefs dĂ©lais.
âEt si elle ne me renvoie pas ?
âJe rachĂšte la boutique pour pouvoir te virer.
âTant dâhonneurs me ferait presque rougir, Monsieur Malfoy.
âRien de moins que ce que vous mĂ©ritez, Monsieur Potter.
Harry avait toujours lâimpression que cela finissait comme ça : par un flirt. Il aimait se faire des films et Draco Malfoy Ă©tait un excellent sujet pour cela. Harry se permit de le dĂ©tailler du coin de lâĆil pendant quâil arrangeait les diffĂ©rentes tiges quâil avait sĂ©lectionnĂ© durant leur chamaillerie. ĂlĂ©gamment vĂȘtu dâun pantalon en lin gris qui soulignait ses longues jambes et dâune chemise blanche rehaussĂ©e dâun gilet de la mĂȘme couleur que le pantalon, sa silhouette Ă©lancĂ©e se dĂ©coupait nettement dans lâombre du soleil. Il avait lâair dâun diamant scrupuleusement ciselĂ© pour trancher.
âCâest trĂšs joli. Pourrais-tu partir vers des couleurs comme le bleu ou le violet ?
Harry lui montra les diffĂ©rentes fleurs pouvant faire lâaffaire et rĂ©ajusta sa composition pour faire un centre de couleurs plus vives afin de trancher avec le reste des fleurs choisies par Malfoy.
âOn dirait un tournesol. Un drĂŽle de tournesol, mais un tournesol. Câest vraiment beau.
Et Harry vit dans ses yeux quâil le pensait rĂ©ellement. Ses joues se rĂ©chauffĂšrent et il sourit.
âJe commence Ă bien connaitre les prĂ©fĂ©rences de mon client le plus fidĂšleâŠ
Draco planta ses yeux dâargent dans les siens.
âEt moi de mĂȘme. Puis-je me permettre dâinsister pour connaĂźtre ce qui ne va pas ?
âTâes vraiment une tĂȘte de mule. Bien. Jâai 25 ans aujourdâhui et je faisais ma crise du quart de siĂšcle.
LâautodĂ©rision de Harry nâamusa pas beaucoup Malfoy.
âOh, je ne savais pas. Je suis navrĂ© de venir les mains vides. Joyeux anniversaire, Harry.
Draco sâinclina et tendit sa main droite, lâautre trouvant naturellement sa place derriĂšre son dos lĂ©gĂšrement courbĂ©. Surpris, Harry tendit sa main gauche, celle qui ne tenait pas le bouquet de Madame Malfoy. Draco sâinclina un peu plus en guise de remerciement et embrassa ses jointures avec une aisance indĂ©niable. Voir Draco Malfoy embrasser ses jointures probablement rugueuses et sales Ă©tait vraiment Ă©trange. Ses lĂšvres avaient Ă©tĂ© si douces, le baiser si dĂ©licat quâHarry eut lâimpression quâune pĂ©tale de cerisier venait de lui effleurer le dos de la main.
âJeâŠ.Merci.
Les femmes riches quâil rencontre tous les jours doivent avoir des mains bien plus agrĂ©ables Ă embrasser que les tiennes. Nâas-tu pas honte ?
âJâaimerais un deuxiĂšme bouquet, sâil te plaĂźt.
Totalement décontenancé, Harry reprit possession de son corps et posa le premier bouquet sur le comptoir.
Concentre-toi, bordel.
âOui, bien sĂ»r. Câest pour quoi ?
Cette fois-ci, non seulement les lacs dâargent brillaient dâamusement, mais en plus un vĂ©ritable sourire amusĂ© ornait les lĂšvres roses.
âUn anniversaire. Quels sont tes fleurs prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©s ?

Authorâs note: Hoist the Colors may eventually inspire fiction. Most likely will and Iâll gladly write it. But right now, itâs a role-playing game setting with what I hope is an interesting take and look at an âAlternate Historyâ of Earth. It isnât really âsteampunkâ, though I can see how someone would get that impression. For me, itâs more a âflintlock fantasyâ set on Earth of 1722 in all itâs historical mess⊠that Iâve stirred up even more!
So, with that said, now we touch on one of the major factions in Hoist the Colors. Mysterious nomads that may play host to the greatest inventors of the time. The Kelstani, also known as the Covenant of the Coast!
Kelstani, the Covenant of the Coast
Theyâre a traveling people, fed up with the world. Traveling about like a caravan on water.
- Lysander Riverwind, Navigator and cartographer for the Royal Institute of Otherworld Studies
The ocean is a harsh, exacting mistress. Quiet and soothing, yet still cold and merciless as the winter sea. Itâs a hard life for anyone that travels the waves, seeking adventure, fortune, or a means to an end. But then there are those that look to the ocean and her turbulent temper as a safe refuge from their past lives.
It isnât any different in the Caribbean where allegiances shift as quick as the tides while honor runs twice as deep. Among the islands, intrepid souls haunted by circumstance or a clouded past leave the land behind. They have nowhere to turn and no place to go. So they built their home from the sea itself and the timber that floats on her.
An Unlikely Gathering
They come from all walks of life. People from different cultures and places that blend to form a nomadic way of life. Theyâre often shunned by town and Trading Company alike, and considered dangerous outcasts at best. In the worst case, theyâre considered vagabonds, outlaws, or pirates. But unless you cross or cheat them, theyâre nothing of the kind. They are the Covenant of the Coast, or the Kelstani.
The Covenantâs name for themselves is the Kelstani, but many nickname them the Sea Rovers. Theyâre a nomadic people, always on the move and owing no allegiance to a single land or country. A culture living most of their lives aboard extra-wide ships turned floating islands that roam the waves between actual islands and coastlines.
They sail in small convoys of ships, often up to six at a time. This forms the basis of a Kelstani village, what they consider a tribe or a clan. Each ship in the convoy has a special purpose, with the wide galleon or galleons serving as the âheartâ of the village. A âtown squareâ which is central to the community.
Tale from Before Time
One of those Kelstani clan ships sailed up about a year after the âFall, in 1713. Iâd seen nothing like it. When asked where they hailed from, they just said that theyâd always been thereâŠ
- Elias Johann St. Claire, Shipwright
The first Kelstani ships were spotted off Havana in 1713, a year after Crossings Fall changed the world. A galleon similar to Spanish make, she was the Malumbe, but was far wider than any normal galleon. With her sailed two frigates named the Shagar and the Nargol that kept a protective watch on the larger vessel.
Little is known or recorded about Kelstani clan history. Most of it came from the crews of those first three ships that day in Havana harbor. Tales from those crews, and any Rover clan since, simply explain theyâre Children of the Sea, and that the Sea Goddess watches her own. But rumors suggest a more complicated origin.
References from grimling Sept records suggest that Sea Rover history spreads back to Otherworld before it shattered. There, legend has it that the first Sea Rovers were a morasu fleet that owed allegiance to the Tomia Harogara noble house. But Tovec Masatame, the fleetâs admiral, or Sajâni in the ancient morasu language, disagreed with his Imperial leaders over their suicidal battle strategy. Instead of open war, he took his followers and fled to the deep seas.
Over time, their numbers grew slowly from among those across Otherworld that felt lost, cast aside, or were displaced from their own lands. When Crossingâs Fall shattered the Otherworld, it also sent the last of the surviving Kelstani to Earth. As is their tradition, they simply kept moving.
For the rest about the Caribbean in Hoist the Colors, see the link above!

Luna Lovegood
« Luna Lovegood est un personnage fictif créé par la romanciÚre britannique J. K. Rowling. Il apparaßt dans la série romanesque Harry Potter et dans ses adaptations cinématographiques.
ĂlĂšve de la maison Serdaigle Ă Poudlard, Luna est dĂ©crite comme ayant des cheveux ondulĂ©s d'un blond foncĂ© lui arrivant Ă la taille, et des yeux protubĂ©rants lui donnant l'air toujours surpris. Elle ressemble physiquement Ă sa mĂšre. La premiĂšre fois qu'il la rencontre, Harry Potter trouve qu'elle dĂ©gage « une aura de folie douce » alors qu'elle porte un collier constituĂ© de bouchons de bouteilles et tient son journal, Le Chicaneur, Ă lâenvers. Il constate qu'elle a tendance Ă fixer longuement les gens lorsqu'elle leur adresse la parole et rit parfois des plaisanteries de façon interminable et grotesque, en mettant les autres mal-Ă -l'aise. »
« Luna est une rĂȘveuse, facilement distraite, qui vit dans son propre univers, et croit en toutes sortes d'animaux dont l'existence n'est pas prouvĂ©e (comme les nargoles). En raison de son excentricitĂ©, elle est isolĂ©e Ă l'Ă©cole avant de rencontrer Harry Potter, et la plupart des Ă©lĂšves lui attribuent le surnom de « Loufoca Lovegood » (Loony Lovegood en anglais, litt. Lunatique Lovegood). Elle semble peu se soucier de ce que les autres pensent d'elle. Elle n'est pas rancuniĂšre et ne se montre pas non plus inquiĂšte lorsque ses camarades de classe s'amusent Ă lui voler ou Ă lui cacher rĂ©guliĂšrement ses affaires. Luna semble consciente de son impopularitĂ© et n'Ă©prouve aucune gĂȘne Ă Ă©noncer clairement des vĂ©ritĂ©s que d'autres personnes se retiendraient de formuler. Laurie Calkhoven, auteure du livre FiĂšres d'ĂȘtre sorciĂšres !, retient notamment du personnage sa bienveillance et son indĂ©pendance, mais aussi le fait qu'elle soit idĂ©aliste, brave, crĂ©ative et d'une grande ouverture d'esprit.
Luna est capable de voir les sombrals depuis l'ùge de 9 ans, créatures réputées pour porter malheur car seuls ceux qui ont vu mourir quelqu'un peuvent les voir. Son patronus est un liÚvre. »
« Selon Blandine Le Callet, auteure du livre Le monde antique de Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling aurait rendu hommage Ă l'imagination et Ă la fantaisie de l'Ă©crivain Lucien de Samosate Ă travers Luna et son pĂšre Xenophilius : l'un des passages les plus cĂ©lĂšbres du rĂ©cit de voyage imaginaire Histoire vraie est celui oĂč le narrateur raconte son sĂ©jour sur la Lune en Ă©voquant les SĂ©lĂ©nites qui s'y nourrissent de grenouilles volantes. »
« Selon Carmen Nadal, Luna est une « force positive » rĂ©confortante pour Harry Potter, car elle lui apporte une perspective nouvelle et prĂ©cieuse lorsqu'il est confrontĂ© Ă des choses auxquelles il n'est pas prĂ©parĂ©. Luna permettrait de dĂ©finir clairement la frontiĂšre de la vĂ©ritĂ©, pour Harry Potter comme pour le lecteur, notamment lorsqu'elle prĂ©cise pouvoir voir, comme Harry, ce que personne d'autre ou presque ne peut voir ou entendre, comme les sombrals ou le voile dans le DĂ©partement des MystĂšres. Plus largement, Luna permettrait de montrer Ă Harry que d'autres formes de connaissance â au-delĂ de ce qui est officiel ou prouvĂ©Â â sont possibles. Elle est l'une des rares personnes qui remettent en question l'autoritĂ©, en pensant que celle-ci ne dĂ©tient pas forcĂ©ment la vĂ©ritĂ©. »
Crédits : CursedQueen
« Enfin, on ne peut pas parler de la sensibilitĂ© de Luna sans Ă©voquer lâimpact quâa eu sur elle le dĂ©cĂšs de sa mĂšre. Lorsque la jeune fille Ă©voque sa mĂšre, elle emploie des mots plein dâadmiration. On peut imaginer que son enfance auprĂšs dâelle a Ă©tĂ© heureuse, et saine. Il est alors Ă©vident que le dĂ©cĂšs de Pandora a Ă©tĂ© un vĂ©ritable traumatisme pour Luna, qui nâavait que neuf ans au moment des faits. Or, il est courant quâaprĂšs un tel choc, les individus aient une nouvelle vision de la vie. Les accidentĂ©s, ou les personnes en rĂ©mission de maladie grave, tiennent rĂ©guliĂšrement des discours dans lesquels ils expliquent que ce quâils ont subi leur a permis de rĂ©aliser des choses fondamentales Ă propos de la vie, ou dâeux-mĂȘmes.
De ce fait, Luna est un exemple de rĂ©silience. Elle ne pleure jamais, au contraire. La jeune fille fait preuve dâune grande sagesse et dâune force intĂ©rieure, paisible. Elle nâa pas lâair dâen vouloir Ă qui que ce soit malgrĂ© les Ă©vĂšnements malheureux quâelle a subi. La sorciĂšre a absorbĂ© son traumatisme, et elle regarde avec beaucoup de clairvoyance les Ă©vĂ©nements qui lâentourent. En crĂ©ant les sombrals, J. K. Rowling donne Ă Luna une crĂ©ature symbolisant cette rĂ©silience. Luna parvient Ă voir la douceur et la beautĂ© lĂ oĂč beaucoup en douteraient, justement parce quâelle a vĂ©cu le pire. Elle guide Harry dans ce cheminement autour de la mort, et du deuil. »

Bleeding Heart by jewellerytuna653
Characters Used/Mentioned:
Ghorza Nargol (Orc)
Koba Harkess (TV Head)
Nestrys Aja (Naga)
Advik Musa (Tiger Centaur)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been at least six months since Nestrys and Ghorza began dating. If he was being honest, Koba was shocked, especially after seeing how the two started out. He thought his brother would push the muscular girl out of a five-story building before he willingly dated her. He was happy though. He was delighted that his brother was finally putting himself out there and allowing himself to be content for once but... he was also devastated because that meant he lost the bet he had going on with his boyfriend of one year.
He almost felt bad for wanting poor Ghorza to be pushed out of a window.
Ghorza and Nestrys's dynamic was laughable, to be honest. It was like watching a dog cling onto a porcupine along with heart bubbles surrounding them. They were a healthy couple though, surprisingly there were barely any arguments and they both got along with the others families and friends (Which Nestrys didn't have a lot of).
While Ghorza did get along with Nestry's family, Koba was a bit distant when they first met. It definitely wasn't out of malice or anything, he was just terrible around new people, especially people who looked as intimidating as Ghorza. It was completely fine after Koba got to know Ghorza though, she looked like she could crush someone's head with her pinky but she was really just a big teddy bear.
Koba and Ghorza started hanging out and even found a lot of common interests.
But alas, not everything was perfect...
Koba made an offended beeping noise as Ghorza asked the most ridiculous question he had ever heard.
"What's a fanfiction?"
Koba genuinely had to question their entire friendship.Â
'What do you mean!? What kind of question is that!?' Koba frantically signed with his hands. Ghorza just shrugged "What?" Koba shook his head and positioned his hands so that he could reply 'You've never heard of fanfiction before? Not even crackfics?' Ghorza shook her head in response.
The betrayal Koba felt was suffocating.
'Well, this just won't do! Come here, I'll show you' Ghorza innocently hopped off of Nestrys's bed and walked over to Koba's side of the bedroom, leaning over his lanky frame to stare at his computer screen. Ghorza watched as Koba clicked on this one website that looked way too complicated to use, it hurt Ghorza's brain to look at it.Â
'I'm going to show you one of my favourite fanfics, It's called bleeding heart and it's written by jewllerytuna653. It's a childhood friends to lovers type thing but I will warn you now it is really angsty, I'm talking unrequited love and major character death which isn't that bad to some people but I'm soft so it really hurt to read'Â
Ghorza nodded along with everything that Koba signed. She had no clue what he was saying but she nodded along nonetheless.
Koba suggested that before they read it, they build a pillow fort on Koba's bed and hoard some snacks from the kitchen, maybe even grab some tissues. Ghorza thought that this was a bit excessive but she wasn't going to argue with snacks and a pillow fort.
...
It was around 12:42 before Nestrys came back to the house after hanging out with Advik. He expected everyone except Koba to be asleep by that time.
He climbed up the carpeted stairs and entered his room.
Once he opened the door, he immediately sensed the strange atmosphere. The room was pitch black except for a small light coming from Koba's bed. To say that Nestrys was weirded out was an understatement but he wasn't surprised, this was a common occurrence. When he pulled back the fluffy blanket entrance, he expected to see Koba obsessively reading some crap fanfic but what he didn't expect was both his brother and his girlfriend surrounded by blankets and pillows, clinging onto each other while sobbing.
"What the hell" He deadpanned.
Ghorza's head snapped towards him and she immediately sported a pitifully relieved expression. Nestrys raised his eyebrows at the condition that the taller girl was in, her face was a darker shade of green and wet from the excessive crying, she had snot dripping from her nose and all while clutching onto a tissue.
"Baby, I'm so glad you're back!" Ghorza sobbed and detangled herself from Koba so that she could get to her boyfriend. She embraced him in a tight hug and lifted him off of the floor before he could say anything.Â
"O-Oi, you're squeezing too much, you fool" Ghorza didn't let go and continued to cry but she loosened her grip, just slightly. Nestrys stared at her with furrowed eyebrows before hesitantly hugging her back protectively. He snapped his head up to glare at Koba, looking for an explanation from him.
Koba didn't sign anything this time, he just showed an emoji on his facial screen of a bleeding heart.
Nestrys rolled his eyes and proceeded to comfort his girlfriend.
