#OC: Vincent Russ

[mulchergeist]

i feel like posting my writing rn so !!! here it is. The characters are Oscar Hartley (he isn't mentioned but it's from his perspective), Vincent Russ, and Clair Stirling. Also it's written in 2nd person cause idk that's how it formed in my brain. Writing under the cut and pretty mild warning for violence and stuff . Like just to be safe

Maybe if you had a closer look, or maybe if you went in with him or maybe if you waited by the door instead of sitting yourself farther away to stay safe.

Maybe if you'd let Clair take the shot instead. She'd always been more observant, maybe she would've spotted his jacket, or his face, or his hair, bright green like a leaf. Bright like a warning.

Maybe if you'd just gone inside, maybe if you weren't such a coward, maybe if you went in with him. The idea of going into that godforsaken structure had scared you more in the moment than the possibility of losing him. That possiblity hadn't even crossed your mind.

"Promise me that you'll take the fucking shot, or hand me the gun. I'm not losing you and Vincent in one trip to this damned place." You had said, and when Clair just looked at you, concern and confusion and anger mixing on her face, you grabbed the gun out of her hands and aimed at that door.

"He's not coming back out," you told yourself. Whatever was going to come out of that door wasn't him, and it needed to die.

But by some stroke of horrific luck, it was. He came out of that door, battered and bruised and bleeding but alive, just barely alive. And you were so set on the kill that you pulled the trigger. You failure, you bloodthirsty coward.

Maybe, maybe, maybe. It's all that goes through your head as you clutch his body. A shot straight through the abdomen. If he survives this, he's going to hate you. If he survives.

Does he know it's your gun that shot the final nail into the coffin? Maybe he knows it's the one you had so stupidly flaunted while drunk on a Saturday night in your garage. He had laughed and laughed, watching you fumble and nearly shoot one of the lights out.

You screamed, reacting too late after you pulled that trigger. A pathetic noise, full of regret and pain and hatred, hatred for yourself, hatred for how quickly you'd abandoned hope. For how quickly you abandoned him.

Maybe that's the last thing ringing in his ears, instead of the shaky reassurances you're whispering to him while Clair screams. You can barely make out anything, but you know you deserve every word aimed at you.

Maybe the last thing he thought of was how he was going to live, if it weren't for your idiocy. Maybe the last thing you'll think of is how you took that away from him.

I think i remember anderson having a sister in the main verse. Is that also true in this one? (i dont know how his family life is since some might be yiga and some could be shikah)

His family life is… quiet. Yes, the only biological family he has ties to is his sister (who I need to do something with sometime but for now isn’t significant), was raised by who he refers to as “his mentor” Vincent Schmidt (one of my oldest OCs to date and I have yet to fully update/integrate, until he was officially adopted by Russ (who in this specific instance is with Sol).

He still doesn’t talk about it much though.
