Summer fling

Summary: Your brothers childhood friend joins your family’s annual summer beach trip, nothing has changed between you two…right?

Warnings: brothers bsf Abby x fem reader, gets a teeny bit smutty, this series is gonna be kinda slow burn, smoking weed, Abby calls reader princess like a billion times. this isn’t proof read so it’s kinda shitty.. 😧

“Why do you even need so many bikinis, I mean cmon..there’s like forty in here” your bestie friend Kira says as she watches you pack your suitcase.

“A girl needs her options okay!” You said rolling your eyes adding an additional bikini you just found in your messy closet. “Im ganna be so lonely without you here I think I’m ganna die of boredom” Kira complains once again about your annual 1 month long summer beach trip your leaving for in the morning. “Let’s just FaceTime every night alright ? I’ll let you know if there’s any summer flings over there” you say struggling to zip up your overfilled suitcase. “Shit dude try to help me out here” you add on while your zipper still doesn’t budge. “I’ll sit on it and you zip it” you say as you sit on the suitcase. You put all your weight down as Kira pulls the zipper one way as hard as she can, which leads to the suitcase slipping from under you. You let out a little yelp as you land on the floor. “Ohmygod I’m ganna pee my pants” Kira manages to say while wheezing .

Just then your older brother, Jordan bursts in the room “Ohmygod can y’all be any louder me and Abby are trying to finish our summer project so we don’t have to during the trip” you could barely even process what he said from the ongoing laughter but then finally registered what he said. “wait what ? Abbys here? And she’s coming on the trip too ? Y’all haven’t hung out in years and plus mom said only family” you said questioning him but also giving your friend ‘the look.’ “Yeah we have been hanging out like we used to again and yep mom practically thinks of her as a daughter” he says before leaving your room. “Hmm maybe Abby will be the ‘summer fling’ I’ll be hearing about” Kira starts teasing you because if there’s one thing about Kira, it’s that she knows you more than you know yourself. “Oh shut up even my brother just said she’s practically family that’d just be weird” you said putting your focus back on the stubborn suitcase to cover your slightly flustered face. “Mhm” Kira says raising her eyebrows before joining in once again to help zip up your luggage. “Tada !” You say as you finally get the zipper to close all the way.

———————————————-

“Dude it’s 2:35 AM you have looked over the project like a billion times, I’m pretty sure it’s good enough” Abby says while smoking a joint on Jordan’s bed. “Ok fine, now gimme that” Jordan says as he puts his hand out while submitting the assignment.

“Dude you know what I just realized.. I haven’t seen your sister in like years” Abby says with red slanted eyes. “First off, you look absolutely gone right now, second she’s literally right across the hall if you want to invite her to our little movie night and third she hasn’t even changed that much” Jordan says in between hits. Abby agrees to his idea and takes the joint from him while he sends you a text asking to come in his room. “Alright now we wait for the gremlin to arrive” Jordan jokes a bit while scrolling through his Instagram feed.

Abby was mid hit when you walked in wearing only a small tank top and sleeping shorts. She could barely recognize you because the last time she remembers seeing you, you were just a tween. Of course Abby wasn’t expecting the same kid she knew before but cmon.. you looked like a fucking model. her eyes drifted down your body to your hardened nipples poking through your tank top and your plush thighs make her instantly cough on the smoke she was inhaling “fuck” she said, mid coughs. Jordan laughed a bit at Abby coughing on the weed (at least that’s what he thinks she was coughing from) Abby let out one final cough before looking back at you to see your eyebrows raised at her then to jordan. “I’m ganna get dressed real quick I kinda forgot you were here” you say with a nervous giggle to Abby hoping she didn’t see the redness on your cheeks or any sign of panic in your voice. As you turned around to exit his room Abby couldn’t not check to see if your ass has grown as much as your other body has and holy fuck, she thinks she might pass out.

“I thought you said she didn’t change a lot bro.” Abby says with her jaw on the floor. “I mean her hairs longer I guess” jordan says shrugging like having a goddess as a sister was nothing. “Yeah whatever you say” Abby’s says still completely flabbergasted. “Yo imma go make some popcorn downstairs for us real quick, you pick a movie on Netflix or something” jordan says before heading downstairs. As Abby turns the tv on to look for a movie, you walk in once again but this time wearing a hoodie to cover your chest and the same little shorts. “He went downstairs to get us popcorn so we can have a movie night” Abby says when she sees your eyes looking for Jordan. “Oh alright sounds fun, we haven’t done this in years” you say sitting down on the bed next to Abby leaving a few inches between you both. “Yeah last time we did you were a little kid” abby said laughing with you “oh shut up were literally only three years apart you were basically a kid too” you say defensively. Abby puts her hands up in the air in a surrendering motion and you both laugh a bit before you talk again “you look so different..” your eyes trail to her muscular build. “You think I look different ? I could barely recognize you if it weren’t for your face, you still kinda have a baby face” she says teasing you with a smirk. “I’ll fight you, watch it” you say cheesing reminiscing on how you always use to play around like this when she slept over. “oh yeah? Hm I wonder who will win” she says sarcastically, turning her body to face you completely, her muscles flexing in her hoodie as she laid her body weight on the bed. She noticed you go quiet while staring at her thighs “y/nnnn..” she said chuckling tilting her head to try to catch your attention again. You realize you were staring too long and the blush went back across your face for what felt like the billionth time today as you look back at her to see she was staring at you with those same old eyes you always swooned over. “I- uh..” you start as you direct your gaze to the pillow on the bed. you could barely speak let alone hold contact with her as she kept staring at you like that. “Youu what, princess?” Abby teased calling you the name she always use to call you as kids. The way you two were positioned had Abby slightly over your body which was sitting against the pillows. You finally get the courage to hold eye contact with her again and you take in each others appearance, you were staring at her with doe eyes that could make Abby go insane, and Abby slightly towering over you, staring at you with droopy eyes and a lazy smile. “You get my sister high or something?” Jordan barges in with popcorn and a few drinks. Both you and Abby slightly jump away from each other. This was nothing than like when you two were kids. “Uh no but it’s about time you shared with me” you say grabbing the joint from Abby, trying to break some tension from before. “Help yourself” she said with her eyes lingering on you smoking longer than she could control.

“Scoot” Jordan spoke up as he sat on the bed next to you, pushing you and Abby together. “What movie are we ganna watch, Abby ?” Jordan spoke again looking at Abby. “Oh uh I was kinda in the mood for a classic movie or something..” Abby put the idea out there for any recommendations. “How about fight club that’s always a good one” you say after brainstorming for a few seconds. “Ooo I fucking love fight club hell yeah” Abby says with wide eyes and grabbing the remote.

————————————————————

“How is his ass already asleep it’s literally been half an hour since we put the movie on” you say in shock as your brother snores in a deep slumber next to you. “We should definitely pull a prank on him later” Abby says laughing with you. “Oh definitely, I’m thinking a finger in warm water trick yea ?” You question Abby as you look between them both. “Sounds like a plan” Abby agrees with you and faces towards you to put her hand out and shake yours like you two made a deal. Your eyes lock on her biceps flexing against her hoodie as you shake her larger hand, yours feeling awfully small in hers.

As you two still were hand in hand, Jordan stirs in his sleep and ends up in a position that takes up half the bed, leaving you to smoosh yourself into Abby’s side more than before. “Sorry I don’t mean to take up your space but he’s being a hog” you say a little awkwardly and Abby looks down and smiles saying in a slightly raspy voice “all good princess, just like when we were kids”. You blush and innocently snuggle into her side a little more. Just as you thought your brother couldn’t cause anymore problems, he threw his arm over his head in his sleep, and in the process of doing so, he knocked his fan; the only source of air conditioning in the room, off the bed and onto the floor with a ruckus.

“Fuck this better not be broken or it’s ganna get hot in here” you said getting off the bed to try and fix the fan. You grunted in frustration when you realized that there was no saving the stupid broken fan. “Here lemme see it” Abby says coming up behind you with her hand on the small of your back, making you internally scream. She has her share of a struggle with the fan before giving up as well. “Welp it can’t get that warm in here, right?” Abby questioned you with a hint of worry in her voice. “You’ll see for yourself” you say as you strip yourself of your hoodie, Abby watching your body (specifically your tits) the whole time. “That’s better” you say with a sigh and hopping back into bed. “I’ll take your word for it then” Abby says as she follows your lead and takes her hoodie off as well, leaving her in a black wife pleaser. You assumed that Abby’s arms would match the rest of her toned body but Jesus Christ. You couldn’t snap your eyes away from her biceps, noticing the veins in her arms made you go weak and even as she stood infront of the bed following your gaze on her arms, you still couldn’t pull your eyes away. “Take a picture it’ll last longer” she said with a little chuckle. “Uh… sorry you just look a lot different” you tried to play off the fact she caught you basically eye fucking her. “Just a little muscle is all” she said humbly as she got into bed next to you and joining you to continue the movie. Even though Abby had a nonchalant facade going on, your braless tits pressed against her side had her going fucking insane. Her heart was racing and she was hoping to god that you couldn’t hear it thumping in her chest. The movie was the last thing you two were worried about and had both of your minds wrapped around each other.

You wondered if Abby really lived up to her childhood nickname, abs, and your eyes drifted down her body to see a slight imprint of her toned stomach. You internally fold once again at the sight alone. You were fully convinced that Abby was sculpted by a god as your eyes check her out sneakily while her eyes stay focused on whatever the hell is happening on the tv. As you finish making your own mental movie of Abby in your head, it was Abby’s turn to get another peek of you herself. Although fully knowing you would notice her checking you out, one look couldn’t hurt right ? As her eyes carefully flickered down your body, she herself was convinced you crawled right out of a wet dream. why did you have to get so fucking fine? Abby thought as her eyes scanned every inch of you.

First her eyes focused on how you had one leg poking a little further out than the other so the side of your hip was sticking out a bit, then she noticed how your tank top had ridden up your stomach a little bit leaving a slant of skin exposed. As she made note of every little detail of your heaven sent body, her eyes made the mistake of looking at your face. You were already looking in her eyes with a blush on your checks and Abby swears she almost had a heart attack from the way you were looking up at her. “Thought I was the one with a staring problem” you teased her like you weren’t just staring the exact same way she was.

“Kinda hard not to stare when you’re looking at me like you want me to fuck you” Abby says in a raspier voice than usual. You were caught so off guard from Abby’s words your mouth was just left agape as you struggle to find the words to reply. “Relax, I’m just teasing you” Abby says with a blush across her face and trying to play off the fact that she wants to spit in that open mouth of yours. You laugh a painfully forced laugh as you shift from your position a little bit, needing to relieve the unbelievably intense ache in your pussy.

After what felt like the longest hour in a half of your entire life, the movie was finally over. (not like you would have known if it weren’t for Abby sitting up a bit) As you stretched your arms you felt yourself tired, you decided it was finally time to go to sleep.

“Hey abs I’m gonna go to sleep now alright?” You said to her as you got off the bed and grabbed your hoodie off the bed. “Sure, I’ll see you in a few hours then goodnight princess” Abby said as you made your way to the door “just come wake me up if you need anything” you said as you slipped out the door quietly. As you got to your bedroom the crisp air from your A/C unit instantly gave you goosebumps, you went to put your hoodie back on only to be met with a more than pleasant aroma of Abby. Her hoodie ? Shit.

You contemplated on giving her it back but the second you put it up to your nose to smell it once again, you knew your answer. She smelled like pine and a little musk and you swear if you didn’t get on your bed just then, your knees would have gave out. Your mind replayed the events of the night as you fell asleep curled up with her hoodie.

——————————————————-

A knock at your door woke you up. You let out a weak groan and they opened the door. You opened your eyes slightly to see a strong figure in the shadows. None other than Abby. “Hey abs” you say with a still weak and sleepy voice. “Hi sleepy head” she said as she stepped closer and closer to your bed. “Whatcha doin” you ask as you sit up a bit on the bed. “I just couldn’t resist my princess” she said before smashing her lips into yours and pushing you back into a laying position. Her strong body pressing you down against your bed. Your pussy was aching so bad you started to grind a bit against her. She was so close to you, you could smell her again. As you two made out, her tongue started to enter yours and you happily welcomed her tongue in. Abby pressed a little deeper into you and the friction from you grinding against her was becoming too much. You were whimpering pathetically against her mouth as you sped up your desperate humps against her. Abby pulled away from the kiss and started to suck and nibble in the crook of your neck. “Cmon baby cum for me” she said a little muffled. Just as you reach your climax, you hear your morning alarm go off. Shit. As you slowly open your eyes the first thing you notice is your tired legs which just so happens to have a certain piece of clothing in between them, Abbies hoodie. “Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck” you repeated as you realized what you had just done. You take the hoodie out from your legs and feel the soaked material of your panties. “Shit” you say as you try to hurry to your bathroom to shower. You get dressed quickly after your shower and into a comfy t shirt and shorts. You try to decide on what to do with the whole Abby hoodie situation but decide it’s best to just act like you didn’t know that you took her hoodie last night.

As you step outside your room with her hoodie in your hands you take one last smell of it before entering your brothers room. The sight you were faced to see was much more pleasant than you could have imagined. Abby was sleeping like a baby, with her body curled up a bit and her head resting on her inner arm. You couldn’t help but feel a little guilty about her hoodie but figured it would be best to just try to forget. You placed her hoodie on the end of the bed and located your hoodie close by. You quickly grabbed it and made your way out of the room to finish getting ready for the day.

——————————————————-

“Can you go inside and get your brother and Abby?, we’re all packed and ready to go” Your mom said as you both finished packing the car. You agreed and quickly went inside to get them both.

As you entered the kitchen to see Jordan and Abby finishing eating breakfast, you notice Abby’s adorable sleepy appearance but more importantly she was wearing the hoodie. Your eyes linger on her like they always do but you manage to snap yourself out of it. “Uh mom said we’re ready to go, just waiting for you two” you say and go upstairs to get some pillows and blankets for the ride. You turn all of your lights off and double check you have everything before you make your way outside once again. Your mom was shutting the trunk and getting into the driver seat.

“Guyssss can I get the front seats so I can sleep for a bit” Jordan asked with his best puppy dog eyes.

You realized that means that you would sit with Abby in the back of the car the whole trip. This was definitely going to be interesting, you thought. “Fine, it’s better in the back seats anyways” you say with an eye roll as you and Abby both climb in the back. “Here” Jordan says tossing your pillows and blankets back to you so you two could get comfy. Once you were satisfied with your little car ride setup you got your phone out and texted your best friend Kira, knowing she would finally be awake by now.

“sos”

“Oh no did sum happen w Abby?”

“How’d you know..”

“Yk I’m an empath girl”

“Whatever.. I may or may not have had a wet dream about Abby last night and she may or may not be right next to me in the car rn…”

“WHAT.”

“Ik. She’s wearing the hoodie I just so happened to use..”

“why would you use her hoodie?!”

“IT WAS AN ACCIDENT”

“mkay girl.. all I have to say is goodluck! (And lemme know when y’all finally fuck)”

“Kira.”

“Ttyl ! Love you 😘”

While you were busy texting about the eventful night you had, you hadn’t even noticed Abby wearing shorter shorts than usual, showing off her mouth watering quads. Fuck, you thought. Why did you have to sit next to her?!

You could already feel your panties getting wet and growing annoyed at the affect Abby had on you without even trying. Just trying to let it go, you tried to comfy yourself in a position but nothing seemed to feel right. Abby took notice of this and had a little rush of confidence as she leaned in “you can sleep on me you know, I won’t bite..unless your into that” she said looking deep into your eyes and chuckling a bit at your flushed expression. “You just love messing with me don’t you” you say under your breath. “You know it princess” she says with a wink.

You roll your eyes and give into her request as you lay your head down onto her lap. The only thing stopping you from falling asleep in that moment was the fact that your face was so close to her clothed pussy. After a few minutes on her lap, her hand comes down to your head and her fingers start to run through your hair. Your eyes almost rolled to the back of your head at Abby’s little antics. If there’s one thing Abby remembered from your childhood, it’s that you always loved your hair being played with. Even when Abby first braided your hair for you, she noticed how much you relaxed into her touch. And all these years later you hadn’t changed one bit. She felt you relax even more in her hands and tried to ignore the fact that her pussy was aching worse than last night. In your half asleep half conscious state, you don’t have the energy to think before you slip your hands around Abby’s waist and finally get lulled to sleep like a child.

Part 1 here Part 3

@im-a-wonderling It was incredibly fun to collaborate with you again!! Thank you for trusting me with your ideas and for your beta read/all your marvelous suggestions:) Seriously people, she’s amazing.

—————————————————————

Smoke circled around Hero, and she watched its swirling patterns.

Wait for it…

The street outside the art gallery had been clear only a moment before, glowing street lamps illuminating the empty sidewalks on the warm summer night. She’d barely glimpsed Villain coming around the side of the gallery, large rectangular bag in tow, before he’d formed his smokescreen, blinding her to his location.

But she was used to this game.

She slowly turned in a circle, reading the patterns of gray and black.

Wait for it....

A flicker, an extra curl of gray.

She lunged into the blackness, colliding with a solid form, wrapping her arms around a well-muscled chest as her momentum carried them to the ground.

A perfect catch.

They rolled once, twice, three times.

The smoke around them retreated, forming a misty pocket with Hero at the center, pinning Villain to the ground. The smoke had thinned enough for her to clearly see Villain, several feet of sidewalk, oh and the pole of a street lamp only a few inches from their heads.

That was close.

“You’ve gotten better at that,” he wheezed. She must have knocked the air out of him. Hence the loosening of his grip on the smoke.

Hero smirked. “And you’ve gotten worse.”

She adjusted her hold, pinning both his hands above his head with one of hers. With her free hand, she reached for the handcuffs at her waist.

“Villain, you are under arrest for—”

The smoke suddenly pressed up against her, blinding her as the world jerked in circles.

When they finally rolled to a stop, Hero was the one pinned to the ground, Villain’s knees trapping her arms against her sides.

Now Hero was the one wide-eyed and wheezing as Villain grinned down at her.

“I said you’ve gotten better, not that you’ve gotten better than me.”

Hero growled, and not just at his words. It was their usual banter. Their usual fighting. Sometimes she arrested him, sometimes he chained her to a nearby street lamp with her own handcuffs while he made his escape, which is what he appeared to be doing now, keeping a bruising grip around her torso and arms as he dragged her to her feet. She twisted and thrashed in his arms.

She might be fast, but once he got his hands on her, the game was over.

She kicked his shin, and his arms tightened, pushing the breath from her lungs as he lifted her feet off the ground, his laugh condescending.

All part of the ordinary routine.

She growled again.

A month.

It had been a month since Hero had woken to Villain gently laying her down on his couch.

A month since he spent the whole day by her side, shoving gallons of water and heaping plates of hot cheesy eggs into her hands.

A month since he sat with his arm wrapped around her, laughing at whatever happened to be playing on TV and anxiously checking her pulse every five seconds.

A month since he’d pestered her about how she was still alive until her foggy mind, weak from blood loss and warm from his embrace, told him everything she knew about her healing powers.

A month since she’d fallen asleep in his arms, then woken in her own bed without so much as a “get well” scribbled on a sticky note.

A month.

Without a single acknowledgment of what had happened between them.

It’s fine.

She coughed as her back slammed up against the hard metal pole of the street lamp, knocking the air from her lungs. Villain used the momentary distraction to secure the handcuffs around her wrists behind the pole.

“Jerk,” she gasped out.

“Like you wouldn’t do the same.”

She snapped her mouth shut. Touché

He began to search her for the key to the handcuffs.

Last week she’d hidden a key in the seam of her sleeve.

Villain had actually been admitted to jail that time.

It wasn’t her fault the prison system was so incompetent that it had taken less than four hours for him to escape.

Villain easily located the key tucked in her pocket, but he continued searching her remaining pockets and even her shoes before reaching around her to run his hands down her arms. Her breathing hitched.

She struggled to keep her breaths even as he continued to feel along the fabric of her sleeves, sending shivers up her arms.

“Ah-ha!” He slipped the tiny metal key from its hidden pocket near her left wrist. “Did you really think I’d fall for that again, little hero?”

He pocketed both keys and patted her on the head. Like a child. The fluttering of her heart was replaced with a roaring in her ears. How dare he!

She strained against the cuffs, but they were Agency-grade, power-blocking cuffs.

Villain stood back and watched her struggle. She wanted to smack the amused smile off his face. Yes, she was fully aware it was futile, but she couldn’t resist trying.

Villain shook his head condescendingly, as though he didn’t do the exact same thing every time she managed to cuff him.

“Don’t stay out too late now, Hero.”

She shot daggers at him with her eyes. No one knew she’d been fighting Villain tonight. He knew full well it would be several hours before anyone came looking. And in this secluded part of town...

His smile widened before he turned to walk towards the discarded art portfolio bag, the smoke clearing until there were only small gray tendrils dancing around his feet. “Make sure to get your beauty rest. I’ve got great things planned for tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow is my day off.”

The words slipped out before she could stop them, and Villain froze in his tracks, slowly turning back to face her.

His jaw was clenched, and his shadows spun faster, the agitated swirls growing darker as they stretched higher.

Darker meant angrier, she knew.

“We aren't going to have a repeat of last month, are we?” Tiny black whirlwinds formed around his knees and thighs.

Disappointment shot through her at the displeasure in his voice, and the twig of hope growing inside her withered and died.

“Nope.” I guess not.

Villain let out a small sigh, but said nothing as she inwardly berated herself for thinking he’d ever willingly offer his couch and his concern.

Swallowing back her private embarrassment, she tried to shift the conversation to a safer topic.

“No need to worry,” she said flippantly. “Other Hero can easily handle all the obnoxious criminals in my sector while I’m busy.” She looked at him pointedly.

He snorted. “Other Hero couldn’t stop me if I handed her the handcuffs myself.”

His eyes narrowed abruptly as he latched onto the last part of her statement. “Busy as in you have a baby shower to attend? Or busy as in you’ll be dead from illegally donating three quarters of your blood?”

Hero flushed and hurried to respond before he noticed her reddening cheeks. Definitely not the first option.

“First of all, it was only half.” Villain opened his mouth as if to interrupt, but she blazed on. “And second, why do you care?”

Villain’s mouth snapped shut.

Did he care?

He studied her in for a long moment, black fog rolling outward in every direction, covering the pavement around them.

Her eyes focused on the dark misty waves, unable to meet his gaze as she waited for a response.

Wouldn’t he have already said something if he didn’t care?

She shifted her feet, the smoke retreating slightly before returning to lap against her legs. When the smoke and silence threatened to consume her, she spoke.

“Hmmmm? We are *enemies* Villain. Why would you care?” Words she’d intended to be bitter and biting came out as soft and subdued.

Her breath caught in her throat as his features unfroze.

Please say you care.

But he only smiled bitterly as he scooped up his bag of stolen art. Her heart sank as he turned away, his words cutting through the air. “Why would I care, indeed.”

Then the smoke thickened, and when it cleared, Villain was gone.

ITotP Short- Melted Beasts And Demons

A.N: Soooo seems like i've been pretty busy with stuff, im glad i had the time though to try and finish one of these shorts after i did the comic, also rip shawn cause of mercy killing oof- either way i think my writing style has improved a bit, what do you all think hm?  corr as always belongs to @core4lost also now i only have two shorts left to do i feel pretty happy to almost be done with these as i can work more on chapter 5 ---------- It was possibly early in the morning now in the abandoned Joey Drew's Studios As deep down in the inky abyss in a almost safe house like area way down in the studios, the retired animator named Henry yawned as he stretches a bit, he had just woken up from his recovery after that long and exhausting battle he had with the ink demon a day ago, he wondered if that attack killed the ink demon, he shouldn't get his hopes up, he sighed as he looked over at bendy and corr who were sleeping next to him as he softly smiled and rubbed in between bendy's horns as the hooded demon emitted a soft purr like sound and snuggled closer to his creator as he smirked a bit and rolled his eyes, he looked at the mirror as he could still feel the pain he had gotten from the ink demon, the two pierces in his body, the torn up face which was healed up now thanks to the ink in his toon form, but there was the idea of THAT raged like state he was in when he saw the ink demon was going to use the knife, he didin't know what came over him one moment he was a human then the next he was a 'toon' and NOW during that fight he became... something else, the retired animator sighed as he rubbed his head still feeling the bandages as he makes a scoff and gently got up not wanting to wake up both bendy and corr, he heads to the bathroom and begins unwrapping his bandage checking his head concussion, it reopened thanks to that fight he had with the ink demon as he sighed "should of known..." he said to himself as he rewrapped it with a new bandage, he doesn't want to risk getting more infected now thanks to the ink's curse, he makes a pondering thought as he wondered what else he could do in that toon like form.  Meanwhile The Ink Demon was trying to get used to his new body as he moved around using his new glowing 'eye' socket he got from the now decreased grant, he flexed his claws a bit as he grumbled and cracked his neck still feeling the bones aching but not sooo much "wEll tHaT's oNe GoOD tHing this nEw BodY haS..." he said as he now doesn't have to feel his bones aching and cracking so much as he stretched his back a bit his spine emitting a pop! sound as he grumbled rubbing where his wound on his head was "GoTtA aDmiT, ThAt oLD maN SUrE paCkeD a PuNCh" the ink demon said to himself as he grunted "bUt I'll GeT bAcK aT hIm, I alWaYS dO" he said as he makes a grunt like grumble as he sniffs in the air his glowing eye widening slightly as he snarls "ThAt ThiNg AgaIn?! I thOugHt I mAdE suRe To HaVe It STaY dEaD foR 2 dAys.. UrGH bLAstEd JoEy" he said as he growled, looks like he will have to again 'save' the old man and demon from that thing, he couldn't afford having that creature stop his plans, but still he needs to wait, his plan is working, not in the way he planned it to be but it was slowly working, he will just have to bide his time and stall it a bit more, he has to make sure that creature will stop interrupting his plans as he growled. Henry got back to his room to find bendy awake but not corr, he smiled tiredly at henry and waved "hey there bud, you okay?" the retired animator asked him as bendy nodded "i still feel my back burning... but it doesn't hurt as much anymore" he said as henry nodded "good, im glad" he said as he makes a low thoughtful sound "Wanna see if there's anything to do?" Henry said as the toon nodded making a yawn as he got up tucking corr in as the small demon slept soundly with a small smile as bendy smiled a bit "sleep tight little bro, ya need it..." he said as he went out the room with henry, they two bumped into lacie who was gathering stuff for shawn's condination as the infected toy maker's situation was getting worst every day "henry, I know you just woke up and all but shawn is getting worst by the minute, we need to get him some medications but we're almost out" she said as henry nodded "tell me and bendy where to go we can get it" he said as the toon nodded he didn't want anyone else to die by his or anyone else's hands. lacie gave the two a small map and told them where to go, the two headed out as they pulled out their weapons for safe keepings "you know you can transform right?" henry said as the toon nodded "yeah... i just don't want too.... i... i don't like turning into those forms.... even THAT one" the toon said talking about his unstable form as henry makes a sympathetic look and patted his shoulder "bendy you've been getting more and more control ever since you've been using it longer, but if that's how you feel then i won't pester you about it" he said as the toon smiled "thanks..." he said as henry smiled back "no problem bud, now come on, let's hurry and find that medication for Shawn" Henry said as the toon nodded and headed on more, as they walked they began to feel a familar feeling that they were being watched, "a bit too early to already feeling paranoid..." henry said as the toon nodded as he clutched his revolver closer to him as they walked on, unaware to them an familiar beast was watching them, the same creature that attacked them before and attacked them when it was in it's second form, thanks to joey's magic and it's own demonic powers it was able to be revived before the 2 days were up and it already became an new form, this was now it's third form and despite it not having anymore legs and just a melted malformed dragonoid like beast it was still powerful it will have to wait before ambushing henry and the toon by said spot as it lumbered off elsewhere.  Henry and bendy soon found the room they need to be but there was bad news, an old face was there "oh great... him again" henry said as the ink demon lumbered around trying to look for something, both the retired animator and toon hid as the ink demon walked out the room making an groan like sound as his glowing eye dimmed as it looks around snarling in annoyance a few times before walking off while opening up a ink portal and going into it. bendy and Henry wasted no time in rushing to the room and slamming it shut until they need to go out, they start to search cabinets, shelves, and even dressers but couldn't find the medication that Lacie was talking about, bendy noticed a safe "hey Henry!" he said as Henry looked over to see the toon shot off the lock with the revolver "was that really worth it?" he said as the toon gave a sly smirk "what?~ I'm a demon at heart causing a bit of trouble is in my blood hen!" he said as the retired animator makes a chuckle "alright alright see what's in there" he said as bendy looked through the safe finding again another orb as it floated around Henry as the retired animator makes a pondering look as the orb went into his 'tie' as it started glowing a dim blue, he makes a shrug and saw bendy pulling out a strange bottle that said "temporary Vaccine For Ink Corruption, Made By Joey Drew" he read It outloud "guess joey made something for himself if he ever did get a infection from the ink like that... anywho it's close enough! but we only have enough in this bottle for one person and that has to be Shawn" he said as Henry nodded "right, come on then bud, let's get going" he said as the two headed out the room unaware of the danger there about to face. the two marched on still feeling a bit wary of everything like something will jump out at them in the last moment but nothing had come out at them, it was strange, yet a bit wondering, where searchers and other ink based creatures still sleeping? henry shivered at the thought of some of those creatures act like reptiles as the two kept walking, meanwhile back in the safehouse shawn was coughing and wheezing as ink slowly starts to drip from his head as everyone was waiting for henry and bendy to come back, corr was hiding behind the couch as he peeks over making a whimper like sound as he wondered where the two were, shawn started hacking as his hands start to become inkifed as his mouth became almost crooked as he stumbles before falling down having a seziure as lacie and norman tried to stop him from letting the ink take over "fight it shawn come on! it's what grant would of wanted!" lacie said as the projectionst makes a concern screech and held down shawn with ease as his robotic hand was stronger than his other more inky but real hand. boris looked at the clock as allison makes a sigh "oh where are they....." the angel said as the wolf whimpered a bit "who knows...." he said sadly as they kept waiting. with the ink demon he was having not a grand old time trying to find this creature "EitHEr Im gOinG lITteRaLLy bLinD, oR He'S goTtEn bEtTEr AT hIding His auRa FrOm M E" the ink demon said snarling and roaring a bit as he punches the wall grunting as he felt the studio started to have a mini earthquake from that as bendy and henry stumbled a bit feeling the vibration as the two look around quickly as the creature took that as a time to ambush as it emerged right in front of the two roaring and swatting away henry and slamming bendy to the wall "GAK! HENRY!!" the toon cried out as he had dropped his revolver, henry got up and glared "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM!!" he said as the creature looks and laughs lifting up the toon and slamming him repeatedly on the wall as the toon had enough and transformed straight into his berserker form as he roared and lunged slashing and punching the creature as he makes a snarl and went all out on the berserk demon as henry watched slowly getting the realization that this was the same creature they saw before and after, it seems to have gotten stronger though, a lot stronger as the demon makes a painful snarl as his arm was leg was ripped off as he makes a groan as he hovered in the air before being grabbed tightly as he snarls out in pain. Henry glaring and pulling out his weapon and started firing away the bullets barley making the creature flinch as it growled as bendy struggles to get himself free as he makes various clicking nosies in a cry for help as the ink demon's horns twitched hearing the clicking noises in the ink as he makes a alerted snarl and starts to follow it.  back in the safehouse corr's horns perked a bit also hearing the clicking noises as he looks around making sure he wasn't being watched as he slowly makes his way out the safe house before running as fast as he could as he hears the clicking noises getting louder and louder as he turns the corner before his pie-cut eyes widen he saw henry and bendy were very hurt by this awful creature as it makes a howl of laughter as it squeezed the demon tighter as he then huffs and throws the berserk demon through a weak wall as the berserker demon fell through the wall as he makes a echoing roar as henry's eyes widen "BENDY!, N O!!!!" he said as the retired animator instantly turns into his toon form as he tries to get to bendy who was still falling as he was again swatted by the creature as he growls as his arms to axes as he makes a glare "I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR DOING THAT TO HIM! DO YOU HEAR ME?! P A Y!" he said as the creature howled with laughter as Henry ran at the creature in pure anger as corr hid in fear from seeing Henry angry and seeing bendy being thrown away. the wounded berserk demon makes a low growl as he wakes up slowly as he looks around inspecting himself as he saw how wounded he was, he had multiple gashes around his body his shirt almost ripped off completely, his jeans were more torn and ripped as he saw his arm, legs and part of his tail were ripped and destroyed as he inspects his face he had a axe head stuck into the eye socket as he growls and notices he was impaled on a sharp spear like pipe as he emits a low grunt and first got the axe head out emitting a loud snarl as he worked on yanking the spear out of his ribcage he did this several times before finally yanking it out as he roars in pain and uses his good arm to held his side as it was oozing ink he had to fix himself, and fast as he starts to crawl looking around his surroundings as he seem to be in some sort of junkyard like area as he makes a low grunt as he looks at the litter bodies of failed corpses of clones, ink and other sort of objects and creatures, the wounded demon found himself a arm, a boris arm as he stares at the clawed bandaged arm and hand as he snorts and picked it up putting it on where his right arm would be as he slowly adapts to the new limb as he searches around for a leg as he found a failed bendy leg as he snorts and uses it to replace the one he lost, he found his foot was the only thing destroyed from his good leg as he grunts and finds a shoed foot as he grunts and wipes off the ink from it seeing that it was a brown ripped tap shoe just his size as he inserted the new foot into the one where he lost his foot as he stands up struggling to stay balance as he eventually did as he looks around seeing his severe his body was as he saw his wings and spines were gone the impact of the fall and the damage.  he Took must of made them ripped apart he did'int care he needed to save Henry and the others he had too he found a belt shoulder and putted it on him as he growled and looked around before noticing a old lost one just sitting in the corner it had a eye just for him as the berserk demon limped his way over as he grabs the lost one as it weakly struggled with him as he pulls out the eye and stumbled about before placing it inside the empty socket as he then starts to snarl out as he stumbles his seals slightly glowing as he almost forgot about them as he roars out in pain as he starts to transform again not to his unstable form but to what he gathered from the limbs he starts to gain a new form his height increasing to about 13 feet tall as he snarls his trademark smile was replaced with a fanged grin for good as he grunts and looks around seeing his changes as he tilts his head, his horns perked when he hears the sounds of a fight happening above as he glares no time for him to get used to this new form he had to save Henry and the others before it was too late for them. Henry gets slammed right back to the ground as he got back up holding his arm as the toon turned animator was already getting tired despite even using his own monstrous version he still was getting overpowered by that creature it seems almost nothing would stop it, just then as the creature was going to grab henry and finish him off a loud snarl was heard as something cutted off the creature's arm as it makes a loud roar as henry was picked up and placed back onto the ground as the now retired animator looked up to see "bendy?!?!?!" he said as the frankenstein like demon nods slowly as he turns around growling lowly at the creature who stared in shock that the demon was still alive, none the less it growled and tried convincing bendy to join him as he sees how different the demon was now when suddenly the demon roars in anger shouting at him "N O! ! ! ! !" he said as he attacks the creature as the creature roars in surprise as it was quickly getting overpowered as both corr and henry watched in wonder as how adapted bendy seem to be in that new form already as the creature snarls in pain and agony from each blow but eventually the creature overpowers the demon as he growls and as the fight went on he had to use up all his energy as he reverted back to his toon form panting as all three looked up to see the creature glaring down at them with a low growl.  as the creature raises it’s claws to finish them off when suddenly a piercing pain rang out through the creature as it roars loudly as it looks to see that it's chest has been impaled it looked behind to see alpha who was also melted but also very big as he grinned and laughed madly as he drags the creature into the inky river it claws at the ground begging for their help as the three only stared as the creature snarls and gets dragged off into the inky river as they all watched. henry looked at bendy who was tired and then looked at corr who hugged bendy "i though you died!" he said as the toon grinned weakly and patted corr's head "hey now, it'll take more than that thing to keep me down, im a tough ol demon" he said as he struggled with getting up a bit as the three started to head their way back, along the way henry stopped as he felt something was up "hold on......" his eyes widen "GET DOWN!!" the three ducked as something lurched above them and misses as it fell to the floor, henry was the first to see it as his eyes widen "oh god no....." corr looked up and gasped as he covers his mouth, bendy stares in shock "s....shawn.... oh god why..." he said as the malformed now inky shawn who was a melted bendy with a crooked smile as the malformed melted bendy makes a low gurgle like roar and lunges as corr dodges and henry drops his axe as he was pinned to the ground as he struggles "c-come on shawn! fight it please! please!" he said as the malformed melted bendy makes a loud roar as it kept trying to get at henry as he struggles as suddenly the malformed melted bendy lets out a snarl in pain as it was hitted by the axe as it fell to it's side as bendy kept smashing the malformed shawn with the axe ignoring the cries of pain the malformed shawn was giving as bendy held back his tears as he kept hitting and hitting until he felt henry grab a hold of him "calm down bud! calm down it's over!" he said as bendy shakes and drops the axe before sobbing and hugging henry as henry comforted him "shhhh... it's okay... it's alright" he said as he stares at the corpse now of shawn in pity "he needs proper burial.." he said as the toon nodded as corr came out of hiding helding back tears as they stared at the dead body of the malformed melted bendy that was shawn as henry picked him up gently and began walking. when they made it back to the safehouse they saw that they already knew, there was nothing to say as they watched henry dig up a grave and placed shawn into it "im sorry this happened to you shawn... you did'int deserve this..." he said as he sighs and closed the grave as they stood in silence bendy was the one that was quiet the most he seemed to be thinking as he walks off, corr was about to go to him but he gets stopped by henry "no corr... he needs time to think" he said as the small demon nods a bit sad now but he understands that the demon needs his space. bendy sat in his room just staring of looking at himself in the mirror as he closed his eyes as all he could see was the begging face of the malformed shawn crying for help as the demon letted his tears shed "...god..... why....just why..." he said as he burries his face in his knees as he tries going to sleep.

Chapter 5: Immersion

   “The original plan was”, Veto spoke up as we head to the twins’ room that afternoon. “When Caleb’s roommate calls for his usual alcohol errand boy, we connect him to Dragon instead. He’s the principal… Oh no, don’t worry, he’s chill. It won’t get him kicked out if he’s smart but it’ll still be hilariously awkward.”

    “Wow”, I replied, not sure what to say. “You guys know how to do that?”

    “We have our ways”, Quinn told me, quickening his pace.

    “And how do you guys get all the information to this?”

    “Well, I’m an errand boy in this school as well, so I know ‘im”, Sag said with a smile. “People pay me to sneak out and buy ‘em stuff from shops around here, except I don’t buy alcohol like Caleb’s does. Everything else is from our ‘dataminer’, Oliver. He’s one of the guys in charge of the lakehouse trade and has lots of connection.”

    “The only thing stopping you from buying alcohol is your wrong fake ID and your baby face”, Quinn chimed in, snickering.

    Sag rolled his eyes. I stifled a laugh.

    We finally reached their dorm room, situated in the second floor of a different building from mine and Sag’s. I didn’t know what I was expecting. Theirs was a bit larger than any room here I’ve visit, with painted walls that actually isn’t peeling off and furnitures that looks like they didn’t come from an abandoned backyard. No offense, Sag, I love you and I love your couch.

    “You’ve even got a balcony!” I exclaimed, running towards it to check out the view. “And close route to the bathroom! And an actual working fan! Fuck you!”

    They both laughed, plopping down to the (nicer) bottom bunk bed. Sag walked over to me and looked out of the balcony as well. You can barely see the lake from here, but the main school building and one of the neighbouring girls’ dorm are visible.

    “Nice place, huh?” Sag said, as if he owns the place.

    “I’m still wondering what kind of privilege these guys have to end up here”, I retorted.

    “This room is originally for exchange students, but we never even have one, so we claimed it. Oh, and the furnitures are ours”, Quinn explained, stretching and laying down. “Aaand our parents are members of the board. Aaaaand we’re rich.”

    “Wow. My parents won’t even get me McDonalds when they’re out”, I said.

    “Anyways”, Veto got up, pulling out a wheeled whiteboard from behind their closet. “About the plans… We need to brainstorm a prank that can compare to what he did to Aquarius. Quinn?”

   Quinn didn’t move from his position. “Yeah, that. Hmm. Well, the best way to find a personalized prank is look for inspirations from the target’s routine, since it’s meant to be surprising. Is he doing anything special soon?”

   “Y’know Michelle from History class?” Sag went to the nearby couch and sat down. I joined him. “Samesh said he was invited to a Richard party hosted by her this Friday… or Saturday? Well, guess who’s gonna DJ? Caleb.”

    “Oh yeah, we knew about that.”

    “Wanna call the police on them or some shit?”

    “That’s gonna involve innocent people… Even if they’re Richards. And it’s too simple.”

    “Also it kinda broke the first Millennium rule.”

    “Doesn’t pranking in general broke the first Millennium rule?”

    All three of them turn their heads towards me. I looked around awkwardly.

    “I mean”, I began. “You’re basically interfering with someone’s daily lives. Not that I don’t like pranking and appreciate you guys doing this to avenge me or anything.”

    “The rule’s unofficial, it… doesn’t have to be black and white, and… Uh, nevermind, I have no defense”, Veto muttered, writing some points about the Richard party on the whiteboard. “It’s just fun to do.”

    Quinn yawned loudly. “Maybe the biggest prank of all is that we come to the party and have fun with the Richards. He would never expect that. We’d blow all his expectations and he’d be so embarrassed he’s wrong. I’m a fucking genius. Veto, write that down.”

    “Quinn…”

    “I’m joking”, the blue-eyed twin quickly said when he caught Sag glaring at him.

    “I’ll put that as Plan E, just because”, Veto retorted.

    “Seriously?!”

    “God, then help come up with something, Kieron!”

    Sag bit on his nails. “…We can switch out his songs to somethin’ completely different?”

    “Predictable, hard to manage in a few days, but classic and appreciated. Thanks Sagittarius”, Veto wrote it on the board as Plan D. Sag visibly rolled his eyes. I gave him a pat.

    “Do you have anything, smartypants?” Veto questioned, turning to me.

    “Yeah, can you hack stuff?” Quinn added.

    “A bit, but nothing really useful”, I replied. Besides, I do robotics all day, not practicing my hacking skills. “I tried to think of something outside the box, but it’s going to sound really… dumb.”

    “Oh, dumb ideas are good”, Sag said. “Make it so dumb he’ll never see it comin’.”

+++

    “It takes ‘bout a day for Oliver to datamine what we’ll need, so in the meantime we’re just gonna go shopping for our materials”, Sag told me after we returned to our own dorm later on that day without the twins. “C’mon, we’ll pay the lakehouse a visit.”

    The twins wanted me to have “experience”, so they keep telling me to tag along Sag. But we haven’t even been back for 5 minutes, yet he’s already pulling me out of the room again, and out of the building. We made our way towards the woods across from the lake I’ve been curious about. It was a bit of a walk, having to go around the lake, and the woods are even worse, as the ground is anything but flat and there’s always some tree root sticking out to trip anyone who pass. I’d probably get lost pretty quickly without Sag.

    “So, no teacher ever caught you guys in here?” I broke the silence.

    “Well, the lake and everything else beyond that is actually not the school’s properties, so they’re technically not responsible for whatever we do ‘ere after school hours end.”

    “What a school.”

    “Yeah, but some of the more caring guys like Tiger checks around the lake every now and then. He’s never gone deep into the woods though. Afraid to get lost, probably.”

    Sag, who noticed me struggling with keeping up, stopped and offered his hand with a smile. I smiled back and took it.

    Finally, we reached the old abandoned farmhouse they keep referring to as the lakehouse. I don’t even see a lake. Maybe it’s deeper in the woods. There were some other people there, but Sag didn’t let go of my hand. I don’t mind. This feels pretty nice. A few people were chatting close by, group of people smoking were sitting at the porch, and there’s a guy asleep on a tree.

“…Okay, it’s actually only active on weekends”, Sag told me.

    We walked towards the porch. I watched the smokers blow smoke rings and do tricks and compare them to each other’s. One of them caught me. “Do you want one or something?”

    “…Can I?”

    “Oh God”, Sag said. “Aqua, it’s better for ya’ if ya’ don’t start.”

    “We’re gonna die soon anyways, Archibald”, the girl who offered me one retorted, helping me light the cigarette in my mouth. “Just don’t try it for the second time if you’re afraid of becoming addicted. That’s when you start reconsidering it and adapting… Personal experience.”

    I inhaled. Oh, and then I was coughing. Pretty hard. I collapsed on my knees and held my throat, wheezing.

    Everyone but Sag seems to be laughing. I was still gasping for breath. Now Sag is panicking. He asked me if I need some water. I told him I need death.

    At least these guys don’t need to be worrying about me trying it the second time and becoming addicted then. I’m never doing that again. Don’t smoke kids.

     Slightly leaning against Sag for support, he helped me in. Inside the lakehouse, there was only a single guy there. He looks like the kind of guy that would punch everybody in the room. He sat on a recliner that looks like it will fall apart anytime soon, his legs propped on a dusty coffee table next to a laptop and an ashtray, while blowing out smoke rings to the ceiling. Of course.

    “If you’re looking for Oliver, he’s in his room. Jacking off, probably”, he spoke when we approached close.

    “Actually Mered, I’m wondering if there’s anyone who’s got a shit ton of sugar for caramel on your list. I’ve got stuff to buy”, Sag replied. Mered sat up straight with an eyebrow raised. Then he reached for the laptop, placed it on his lap, and began scanning the screen (from the reflection on his glasses, it seems to be an excel file). Well, at least this guy doesn’t question much about what we’re up to.

    “…Nope, you have to go grocery shopping yourself. But Frankie from your building’s got some caramel popcorn, that’s pretty close. He’s in room 14”, Mered finally said after a while.

    “Seriously, nothing? What about anything sweet?”

    “Archibald, you know these depressed teenagers only live off coffee, instant food and underage drinking. Hm, but Casey from building 2, room 9 has got bubblegum ‘to sneak in in class’. Sam from building 3, room 2’s got a month old apples to get rid of, those are sweet��� if she keeps them in a fridge. Zoey from building 3, room 17 has tea, but I don’t think they’re up for sale, just trade. She’s looking for… Uh, booze. Amazing. That’s pretty early during the school year.”

    Sag sighed. “Well, whatever, going out it is. I have to pick up some pads and ice cream for Cadence anyway.”

     “And two packs of the usual for me. Get them by tomorrow”, The redhead in front of him added, motioning to his cigarette and taking out some money from his pocket. Sag took the money, but Mered’s gaze drifted towards his other hand holding mine.

     “Cute catch. But he looks too tame for you, in my opinion.”

     “We’re just friends” “Gee, thanks”, Sag and I quickly said simultaneously. Also what the hell is that supposed to mean? Too tame? I’ve been rigging vending machines my whole life. What can you do, blow smoke rings in people’s faces and not cough your lungs out?

    Mered just rolled his eyes. “Don’t call me squealing when you jinxed it.”

+++

    At school the next day, gossip seems to have spread a bit, because everyone I come across in the halls threw me pity looks. Well, at least I’m not a subject of laughter, I guess. Some sneered, but Sag said they’re just Richards. Even Cancer greeted me as if he’s going to a funeral… My funeral. He seems embarrassed in my place. I quietly told him not to worry with a pat.

    Aside from the stares, Sag and I have been avoiding Caleb nonstop. We don’t always have classes together, but everyone else helped me in other ways, such as Libra who diligently saves me a seat near him. What an angel.

    “Can you guys go deliver this to Oliver today?” Quinn said in a quiet voice during lunchtime, handing Sag a hardcover book. The cafeteria is pretty noisy, so I don’t know why he even bothered.

    “What’s that?” I asked, pointing to the book with my fork.

    “Uh, Watership Down”, Sag replied, reading the cover. “Oliver helps out in the school library all afternoon today, right when we have study hour after this. Libra also helps there sometimes.”

    Okay, but this is such a random timing. Is this how the librarian dataminer receive payment? Having people return books on time? That’s actually believable.

    “What about the party plan an’ stuff?” The purple-haired guy next to me turned back to them.

    “Oh, he sent in everything already”, Veto answered while texting, barely touching his salad from before. “Exact schedule, address of place, guest list, which people from Millennium are gonna help set-up, dresscode, even menu – down until every booze. Oliver’s insane.”

    “Holy shit. Are you sure he’s trustable?” I can’t help but wonder. Insane is right.

    “Yeah, his shitty ex was a Richard, so he hates them. Besides, he’s been working with us for a year, and the dude knows we pay… There. I told him you guys are coming. Now shoo and take that book far with you.”

    Fortunately, none of the teachers here give a damn about what we do during study hour, so when the next hour start, Sag and I slipped off from class easily. The library is located in a different building, and on the walk there I was surprised by Sag suddenly grabbing my hand.

    “Um…”

    “Ah! S-Sorry, haha… It just seems right to do now, y’know?” He quickly said, all flustered, immediately letting go. Well, we did come back to our room still holding hands yesterday.

    “No, no, it’s fine! I was just a bit surprised”, I assured, grabbing his. “Come on.”

    The library is perhaps the most depressing and non-liveliest place in this godforsaken school. There’s like one or two people not including the librarian himself, typing away something at the computer on the checkout desk. This is Oliver, I suppose. Sag waste no time chatting and handed him Watership Down without a word.

    “I’ve been expecting you two. Thank you for returning your book on time.”

    Oliver looked up with a subtle smile that makes me feel like being in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and he’s enjoying my psychological torment. He flipped through the book quickly and slipped a white envelope from inside it into his pocket very swiftly. Then he stamped the book and stuff, before slipping it into the to-be-put-back tray.

    “This is a bit ridiculous. Can’t you guys just use PayPal or something?” I whispered.

    “Immersion, Tinia”, Oliver scoffed. “Immersion. Look, whatever it is you’re doing in that party, make sure you do a good job of it. That wine balloon prank is just distasteful.”

    “Will do, Sir”, Sag smirked and saluted, pulling me back to class.

((Hey, sorry it’s been a while! I’m living as a NEET for the time being, so I might as well try to finish this. Oliver and Mered were supposed to be Scorpibra and Scorpittarius cusps.))

((…BTW sorry for the awkward pacing in this chapter. I haven’t written anything for months rip))
