Yearning of a Fool

Vicious has never wanted anything more than what he's already got. But of course, he just had to go and make it harder on himself.

--

The Great Transgressor did not yearn for anything except for the feel of the trigger against his finger.

There was always a rush through Vicious’ heart when he’d hear the tell-tale hum of the Enforcers, electricity crackling through cloaks, uplifted by seething hate alone. They weren’t very smart either, which made them perfect for target practice.

“Would you watch yourself?” spoke a familiar voice. Aegis stood next to him, parrying away a giant hand that tried to reach for his throat with his spear. “You always get entirely too reckless.”

“Hey, if you hate the way I fight, you can always do some babysitting instead and help the others.” Vicious grinned as he vaporized another Enforcer with a blast. Ah, the fireworks that would appear when one died – one of the prettiest sights he ever saw. “Not like I need help!”

Aegis held out his spear, blocking another attack, the hood of the burning Enforcer moving in close – but his blood sin shone bright, and with obvious effort, he shoved it away before stabbing it straight through its empty mass.  One could not withstand the other, and the cloak fell to the ground in a heap. “Compared to the rest of our group, regrettably, I would prefer to have you by my side on the battlefield.”

“Heh, really.” Like he’d buy that. This pretty boy was probably just looking for a chance for him to mess up. But Vicious wouldn’t give him that satisfaction, again shooting away another Enforcer before it could ever get close. Maybe he did it with a bit more style this time, just to show off a little. He only wanted to check if the knight was looking, and so turned his head to see…

But what he saw was Aegis running up to him, hand gripping his shoulder while the other held the spear in front of them both. “Watch out!”

So there had been another enemy, sneakier than the rest, one that had been ready to snatch Vicious from behind. It might have resulted in a few nasty burns, maybe a broken arm that would have taken more than a day to heal. But with Aegis, the Enforcer was sliced clean in half, his weapon out in one hand, while the other continued to grip onto Vicious.

Just as the Enforcer died in a radiant glow, they both fell to the ground.

“H-Hey!” Vicious tried to stand up, but Aegis’ legs were tangled in his own, the spear laid across them both somewhat – the stupid thing was heavy. His own guns had disappeared, leaving his hands bare. “Why’d you do that? You know I can’t die!”

Aegis stiffened. One hand was pressed against Vicious’ chest – lingering, fingers curled against the bronze clasps of the black vest – before he tried to move off him. “Just, repaying a debt. For saving me that day.” Aegis pressed his lips together, eyes looking away. “I can at least do that.”

Something about this was frustrating. Aegis was still somewhat sprawled over him, and already he could see a wide-eyed Kanata in the distance, along with Misella (her own eyes filled with murderous intent as always). “Or are you trying to catch the big bad transgressor during battle?” That must have been it, irking Vicious. “I ain’t going down without a fight, so forget it.”

Aegis grimaced at the accusation, just before he finally stood up completely. “If you do not believe my reasons, then fine! I only…” Aegis clenched his fist, then walked away, his spear vanishing in a wisp of smoke. “Never mind. I won’t bother you on the battlefield anymore.”

“Well, that’s the best fucking news I’ve heard all day!” Vicious yelled, still seated on the ground, his chest burning slightly, almost expecting Aegis to turn around again. But he didn’t.

The Great Transgressor did not yearn for anything, except…

Damn, he was an idiot.

--

Yuna raised an eyebrow. “Have you always been this thick-headed, mon amie?”

Finding the inn later that day, the group needed a rest from that battle, and Vicious had needed a drink badly. But it wasn’t helping his mood like it usually did, clearly.

“The hell you babbling about? If it’s about earlier, I just lost my rhythm.” He threw back his head as he drank, the beer most likely tasting bitter.

Yuna shook her head, sipping out of her own cup that she gently cradled in both hands. She had said it was tea, for her complexion, but she knew Vicious mostly caught onto her little white lies by now. “You certainly lost more than that. I’d ‘ave thought you’d be jumping for joy zat your dear heart didn’t waver when it came to saving you.”

“Ugh, don’t say it like that. It’s weird.” Yuna could tell he regretted confessing to her about his cute crush, but she knew how to spin the truth out of people when she wanted to. “He was just saving my dumb ass, not like it meant anything.”

“You really believe that?”

“What else could it be?!” Vicious threw the mug against the table, splattering the rest of the drink until it dripped into the crevices of the wood. It turned a few heads, but Yuna was used to that herself. “Ya heard what he said. Debt repaid and all that crap.”

Her voice went a pitch softer, losing its amusement. “You do not notice, then, the way he looks at you?”

“Like how? Like he wants to scrape me off his boot?” Vicious shook his head, closed his eyes. “I’m done.”

She didn’t need to see to her side, where Aegis spoke to the innkeeper, probably trying to haggle down their prices, all while sneaking glances towards them – towards Vicious.

Quel dommage. She shook her head. They are both idiots.

@mandatorybedrest challenged me to do 1. don’t leave + Aecious in 3-10 sentences.  I.  I tried.  These two are so complicated that it’s really hard, but I did my best.  Warning for unrepentant angst here, though, bc I know the person who requested it is a fan.  (I couuuuuld be convinced to fix it if you want, though; just let me know.)

This is super off-brand for me omc.  Here goes.

Vicious had been awake for a damn good while, listening to Aegis shuffle around with all the grace of a child trying to sneak food from the kitchen for the first time, when the room suddenly fell quiet again.  But, he noted, Aegis hadn’t gone back to bed, instead standing by the door in silence that stretched like a spider’s web that shivered when he took a deep breath but didn’t break.

“Aegis,” Vicious grumbled, not opening his eyes, though he grew tense under the blanket, “go back t’ fuckin’ sleep.”

Another breath, this time sharper, like it had gotten caught in his throat (and Vicious couldn’t help remembering just a few hours before, the way that Aegis was open and vulnerable under him in a way that was almost shameless, completely unlike him and yet so delicious that Vicious hadn’t questioned it).  But there was nothing else to fill the space between them, no footsteps, no reaching hands, no understanding.  And wasn’t that fucking hilarious, because Vicious was pretty sure he knew it was the stupid ex-knight’s stupid guilt finally catching up to him, making him think shit like how he couldn’t be here working with his antithesis--like they were even so different anymore--or maybe how he couldn’t be around the kids--like he wasn’t young enough himself that his life could be a tragedy--for fear of ruining them like those bastards in the palace.

Vicious had fought those battles all before, and if he hadn’t won yet, he wasn’t going to.  So he swallowed down the words in his throat, from the most eloquent and cruel argument he could manage to a simple, Don’t leave, and waited until Aegis seemed to assume he was asleep again.

Click.  And then steps, disappearing like the trail of a fallen star.

I Was Inspired To Write This

While looking up videos to help with designing and writing characters, I came upon a set of videos about creating cohesive casts by one Brookes Eggelston. Mr. Eggelston used what I’m assuming are some characters from a story he’s working on as an example of how to use opposites. The characters were...

Biko, a friendly dog-like creature made of some kind of healing jelly. He’s described as the group’s overworked medic, whose companions are a drain on him physically and mentally.

Glangor, a crab-like monster who appears to be the big, tough, stupid guy who’s “constantly getting hurt and having to be healed by Biko” (I’m guessing due to recklessness and stupidity).

Quilver, a literal and figuratively “prickly” rogue/archer who resembles a cross between a squirrel and a porcupine.

And Aecious, a tall, cobra-like naga with power over lightning and an arrogant, condescending visage.

I fell in love with the characters’ designs almost immeadiately and - as the title says - was inspired to qrite a short snippet about two of the characters. Please bear in mind that I know nothing about Mr. Eggelston’s story, characters, or world. This is just me filling in the gaps with my own ideas; so events and personalities may differ.

And to Mr. Eggelston, I’m sorry for not asking for permission. But your designs and explanation just got my creative juices flowing and I couldn’t help myself. Thank you for your informative videos and I wish you luck in all your future endeavors as an artist and YouTuber.

So, without further ago, let’s get to the good part:

Set-Up

This snippet takes place in a forest. A short time ago, Biko, Glangor, and Quilver (I wasn’t sure how to fit Aecious in) stopped at a nearby village. During their time there, Quilver’s “rogue instincts” got the better of him, leading him to pickpocket some the villagers. Quilver wound up getting caught and tricked Glangor into saving him when things got bad. Glangor wound up going berserk, causing nearly all of the village guards to try and stop him, and Biko to stop the situation and try and clear things up.

While this is going on, Quilver scurries off to the village temple and slips into the inner sanctum, where he finds a large jewel. His “rogue instincts” acting up again, he tries to steal the jewel and breaks it, releasing the Ruhkcrow, a monstrous bird that spreads a deadly disease wherever it flies.

Long story short, the villagers learn of what happened and Biko and his companions are tasked with retrieving the ingridients needed make a cure for the Ruhkcrow’s plague so Biko can cure the infected. Unfortunately, the ingridients are located in a dark, scary, monster infested forest.

Being the unpleasant, amoral one, Quilver is quick to argue with the others and balk about their situation (something he does all the time). This eventually results in him saying some very hurtful things to Glangor, causing to run off and get lost. Biko and Quilver start looking for him, but Quilver’s caustic attitude leads to another fight. Unfortunately, Biko has had enough...

B is Biko, Q is Quilver.

Q:"I can't believe you put up with that idiot as long as you have."

B:"Now Quil, Glangor may be a bumbler, but he means well."

Q:"He's a natural disaster in a crab shell! He breaks everything he touches, he's got the attention span of a flea on sugar, and calling him dumb as a stump is an insult to trees!"

B:"Yeah, he's...he’s a handful. But I can't just leave him."

Q:"Sure you can."

B:"What!?"

Q:"Just act like you're going to the market or something, tell him to wait 'til you get back and just...not get back."

B:"I can't just abandon him, Glangor's my friend!"

Q:"Pfft! Yeah, he sure is."

B:"He is! Now come, we need to find him before--"

Q:"Yeah, yeah, before he hurts himself! Honestly, I don't know who's dumber: the crab or you, for letting him take advantage of you."

*beat*

B:"What do you mean 'Glangor's taking advantage of me'?"

Q:"Oh come on Biko, I know your brain’s made of jelly, but you’re not stupid! Ol’ Crabcakes ‘likes’ you for your powers. You're the guy who fixes him up every time he gets an owie cuz he tried to hug a giant monster, or when he gets sick from eating ickberries despite the poison warnings plastered all around the forest. Oh, and don't forget all those people he beats up when he flies off the handle. Between treating him and cleaning up his messes, it's no wonder you're always ploppin' off to bed for 10 hours. You're not his friend, you're his personal medicine chest."

B:"Quilver..."

Q:"Come to think of it, maybe he's so stupid because you keep coddling him all the time. Maybe that dumb leechtoad will finally learn to use his head once he doesn't have you around to bale him out. You’d be doing both of a favor if you just--"

B:"Glangor's not a dumb leechtoad! YOU'RE a dumb leechtoad!"

Q:"Eh!?"

B:"Ever since you joined us, all we've done is try to be nice to you, Quilver! We got you out of the Spiker's Guild. We give you food and shelter. Glangor even let you hold Mr. Fuzzy! He doesn’t even let me do that!”

Q:”I didn’t want to hold Mr. Fuzzy.”

B:”That’s not the point! Glangor may hurt himself and he may make a mess of things, but he tries to be better!

Q:"Yeah, and then he makes a bigger mess."

B:”And all you’ve done is be grumpy, rude, and unhelpful, especially at the village yesterday!"

Q:"Hey! It's not my fault your big, dumb meathead--!"

B:"It's ALL your fault!”

Q:”Eep!”

B:”YOU started that fight at the diner because YOU tried to steal from the other patrons! The villagers got sick because YOU set the Ruhkcrow free when YOU tried to steal the gem from the temple! And YOU made Glangor run away and got us lost because YOU hurt his feelings!”

*Biko gets right in Quilver’s face.*

B:"You keep talking about how the world's a horrible place. That you're miserable and alone because everyone else is selfish and mean! Well it's not! They're not! You're not miserable because of the world Quilver, you're miserable because all you ever do is hurt people! And you’re alone because you're a selfish, spiky jerk!"

*Biko stomps off to look for Glangor, leaving Quilver alone, stunned.*

Q (whisper):"Yeah...I hurt people and you heal people."

*Quilver looks at his spine covered arms.*

Q (whisper):"It's what we were born to do...”

Q:”Ya lucky schmuck.”
