Day Four Confessionals

Miguel

“What were your first thoughts when you saw Y/n?”

“I thought she was drop dead gorgeous. She’s a very beautiful girl.” He answered with a small smile.

“What’d you think of her?”

“She was very nice, and extremely easy to talk to. I don’t know what I was expecting but I was not disappointed.” He responds, letting out a chuckle.

“Quite the opposite of disappointed, actually.” He added and ran a hand through his hair.

“How do you think the date went?”

“I think it went well, I mean I hope it did. We had a lot in common and the conversations went by very smoothly.” He answered and smiled, “I feel like that’s the first time I felt a spark like that, maybe ever.”

"It was a very good first date, I was pleasantly surprised and I hope she thinks the same." he says giving the camera a charming smile.

“Are you going to talk to her more?”

“Absolutely, I mean if I felt that with the first chat it’ll definitely get better the more we talk right?” He says and grins.

“How’d your conversation with Dana go?”

He sighed and took a deep breath, “it went as I expected it to go. I knew she wouldn’t have seen it coming and I just felt bad.”

“But I couldn’t keep lying to the both of us and I really truly hope she finds someone, she’s really an amazing girl.” He finishes and sighs.

Peter B

“What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?”

“Oh I thought she was stunning! But my first thought was how my boy Mig was feeling-” he starts so the producer asked a follow-up question.

“How did you feel for Miguel?”

“Ecstatic!! He looked so happy and honestly it’s all you really want for a friend in here! I was tired of seeing those puppy dog eyes all the time and hopefully she’ll change that!” He exclaims with a bright grin.

"I mean it seems like they already got along well enough so I hope it was the same for her!" he adds and shrugs.

“How’d you feel for Dana?”

“I’m not gonna lie, I did feel for her, especially after seeing her eyes all red and her face wet from crying. I feel like Mig took too long to tell her so she grew attached too easily. Still hope she finds someone because she’s an awesome girl!” He says and holds out a thumbs up.

“Whose head do you think will turn?”

“Honestly every fucking guy- did y’all see their eyes when she came in? I swear I thought they were all going to land on their knees in front of n.” He joked and snickered.

“But genuinely.. hmm maybe Raúl? And Jordan? Yeah definitely those two because their brand new into their couples so they’ll be extremely open.” He answers and hums, “I don’t think David, Peter, or Danny would..”

“Are you going to get to know her?”

“I mean I’ll have a chat with her, of course but as of right now I like how things are with MJ so for that type of chat I don’t think so.” He says and shrugs, “but I’m always open for friends.”

Peter

“What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?”

“She’s pretty, was very nice and yeah she seemed cool.” He says and nods.

“Whose head do you think will turn?”

He smirked and shrugged, “I mean obviously Raúl and Jordan. They were subtly going for it but we’ll see how the girls feel about it.”

“Are you going to get to know her?”

“Uhh I’m not sure. I mean she’s really gorgeous but I just like how things are with Gwen.” He says, letting out a chuckle, “god it’s so early to feel this good about someone but that's where I'm at.”

“What did you think of the girl’s reactions?”

“The girls confused me because we weren’t like that, at least I hope we weren’t. They knew new people would be coming in and it was just rude and honestly embarrassing as a whole.” He explained and rolled his eyes, “there goes the welcoming committee for ya America.”

"How did you feel for Miguel?"

"I felt happy for him, he was instantly all smiles and that was obviously a good sign. I hope he finds what he's looking for since it didn't work out with Dana." he answers with a genuine smile.

Daniel

"What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?"

“She was nice! Very pretty.” He answers and gives a small smile to the camera.

“Are you going to get to know her?”

“In a friend way for sure! But I think I’m going to go all in for Jazmin, I'm really enjoying my time with her." he says and grins.

"Who do you think will get to know her?"

"Oh for sure Raúl. I feel like he chose Val for now.. y'know?" he explains and shrugs, "the Peter's are locked the fuck in but she could for sure shake things up in the new couples.."

"Well that could technically be good for me…" he mumbles then smirks, "here's to hoping she goes for Jordan!"

"How did you feel for Miguel after his date?"

"I felt happy for him! I saw how much he really truly tried with Dana but if it's not there, you can't force it. Plus he was buzzing so I know he's excited for a new opportunity." he say and smiles, "hope it works for him!"

David

"What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?"

He chuckled and put his hands up, "absolute stunner- I mean that bikini was insane."

"She was also very nice! I am definitely going to have a chat with her." he says and smiles.

"I didn't think I'd have my head turned so soon…. this was not in my plans." he jokes then snorts.

"How'd you feel for Miguel?"

"I was stoked for him!! He was beaming when he was getting ready and when he came back, he looked happier than a kid on Christmas and that's what this experience is all about!" he answers with a smile on his face.

"How'd you feel for Dana?"

"I felt for her, I mean you can just tell that she genuinely had no clue which is probably why it was such a surprise to her. We'll all try to cheer her up because anything could change in here and I know she'll find her perfect guy." he responds and nods, "yeah I know she will."

Raúl

"What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?"

He chuckled then grinned at the camera, running a hand through his hair then saying, "I'm in big trouble."

"She was really sweet and absolutely stunning, and now I kinda wish I was the one that was on the date with her…" he says then laughs at his own joke.

"She's definitely the type of girl I'd go for on the outside and if she has a good personality, I'll be in even bigger trouble." he jokes, letting out a chuckle.

"I hope I get the chance to talk to her properly tomorrow! She seemed easy to talk to and according to Mig, a big flirt so I'm taking the challenge and finding out for myself." he grins and sighs, "but don't get me wrong I'm still happy for my boy."

"We've all seen he's had it a bit rough so hopefully it's like a brand new start for him." he added and gave a thumbs up to the camera.

"Who else do you think will chat to her?"

"Definitely my boy Jordan… maybe David.. I don't know, his eyes were on her quite a bit, she might be his type." he answers then quickly adds, "not too sure about Danny but he did like that we had another latina here."

"And we all know the Peter's aren't swaying, they are damn near head over heels with their girls. Don't think Y/n's the type of girl to chase hard so she might leave them be if they're lucky." he explains before quickly adding, "though they shouldn't be complaining if a gorgeous bombshell wants to get to know them."

"But that might just be me…" he mumbles and shrugs.

Jordan

"What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?"

"She seemed cool! Very sweet and gorgeous!" he says before quickly adding, "she's definitely turned some heads already so I can't wait to see how that goes for us."

"Are you going to talk to her tomorrow?"

"Oh absolutely! I said coming in here that I'd try to chat to everyone, just make the best out of this experience. We’ll see if it’s a romantic or friendship vibe after a chat.” He explains and smiles.

“Whose head do you think will turn?”

“Mm well obviously gotta say my brother Raúl, he had hearts in his eyes the minute she walked in," he snorts then shrugs, "can't blame him though."

"And… hmm maybe, maybe David. Just because he kind of had the same reaction as us and was overly excited.. Not sure how Val will feel about that." he says and laughs.

"Good luck to him.." he adds.

"How'd you feel for Miguel?"

"I'm excited for him! I think there’s a good chance he’s finally going to get the love island experience that he's been wanting!" he chirps and sits up.

"But all's fair in love and war." he adds with a chuckle.

“How’d you feel for Dana?”

"I felt sad for the girl, she's such a chill, kind girl so I know she'll find someone!" he answers and smiles at the camera.

"What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?"

"Oh my god she is a fucking stunner!! That fucking bikini too? She is a gorgeous, gorgeous girl." she exclaims with a big grin before quickly adding, "and she seemed very sweet."

"How do you think it went for Miguel?"

"Well she really kept a lot of things to herself which of course, makes sense but I think it went well. I can read people pretty well and I think her eyes just lit up very subtly when she was talking about the date. It was cute because Mig is one of my close friends and I genuinely want him to find his person." she explains then sighs.

"Who do you think will have their head turned?"

"I think Raúl could be in the running!" she jokes and chuckles.

"Only because I can totally see him already planning to whisk some breakfast for her tomorrow." she snorts then giggles, "he's a little predictable but the other boys? Not sure so we shall seeee."

"Who do you think she should talk to?"

"Okay I'm totally biased, but I see the vibe so it's not just that! But I'll have to say Miguel," she says then quickly adds, "she should also talk to Jordan, he’s a real sweetie.”

"What did you think of the girl's reactions?"

She scoffs and slaps her head over her forehead, "that was so embarrassing because it looks bad on all of us as a collective.."

"Like listen I get being scared of someone coming in and potentially having a connection with your person but it is the first week!! We should all be open as fuck and what the girls did was just rude! I'll chat to them before bed because I know the guys were also disappointed." she rambles before sighing.

"I hope they're in better moods tomorrow because the bombshells will keep coming.." she says and shrugs.

Gwen

"What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?"

“She was really, really sweet! I think she’ll make a great addition to our little family.” She chirps and smiles.

“Plus it’s good to have another girl! We were outnumbered for two days.” She jokes then lets out a giggle.

“How did you feel for Miguel?”

She gasps then quickly exclaims, “I’m beyond excited for him!! He is such a sweet guy so I’ll be praying that it works out for them tonight!!”

“Who do you think she’ll pull tomorrow?”

“Definitely her two fellow newbies, just because they’re fresh into their couples so I think it’ll be easy to snatch em up.” She answered and shrugs, “but it could really be anyone..”

“Whose head do you think will turn?”

“I’m calling it now I’m thinking David.. because what he told Val versus how he reacted to her coming in- wait no, how he reacted to just the text was insane.” She says and shivers.

“That boy is just waiting for trouble.” She adds.

“What did you think of the girl’s reactions?”

She sighed then shook her head, “very, very immature. I get it to an extent but there’s no need to be mean to new people coming in.”

“Whether they’re coming for your guy or not, it's better to be civil and kind! My motto is always to treat people the way you want to be treated.” She explains and shrugs, “I’ll talk to them.”

Val

“What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?”

“I mean, she is pretty..” she mumbled and shrugs.

She takes a deep breath then sighs. “Yeah maybe we shouldn’t have done that petty shit…..” she says before adding, “but we live and we learn!”

“Plus the way we got fucking scolded- yeah… we’ll do better tomorrow.” She says and nods.

“How’d you feel for Dana?”

“Fuck I felt it for my girl. She was absolutely torn, she got really attached and was starting to really like him.” She responds with a frown.

“I think she’s just such a lover girl, she wanted to go head first into the first guy and pray it’d work out until the end.” She explains and groans.

“I swear if the love of her life doesn’t walk through the door-“ she says then shakes her head.

“I’ll have an even bigger bone to pick with Miguel.” She jokes.

"How did you feel for Miguel?"

"Well I can't say I was the happiest that he was chosen just because I love Dana so much.. I was a little relieved it wasn't one of my guys but that's besides the point-" she stops herself from ranting and continues.

"Y'know what, I hope he had a great time. End of the day, he really is a nice, sweet guy so I hope it works out for him." she answers and gives a thumbs up.

Jazmin

"What are your thoughts on the new bombshell?"

"She is a stunning girl, I liked her bikini." she says and nods, "very gorgeous, I was surprised she wasn't also a model." she admits and chuckles.

"Andddd we definitely could've been nicer…" she mumbles then sighs, "that's just so unlike me too so I feel weird now. I'll talk to her tomorrow."

"How'd you feel for Dana?"

"Devastated. She's one of my besties here and just seeing her give it her all with Miguel and it just not being reciprocated back was sad to see. But I am glad he didn't force shit with her because that just would have made it like ten times worse." she explains and plays with the ends of her braids.

"And I just knowwww that my girl will find a man in here, maybe none of these because she's not really interested but her man is coming soon!" she chirps and grins.

"She is going to find her man and keep him until the end or so help me God-" she says then bursts out laughing.

She calms herself down then clears her throat, "we're getting her a man no matter what."

"How did you feel for Miguel?"

She laughed again and quickly covered her mouth, trying to fight back laughing again. Instead she just nods and shrugs, "good for him."

Dana

“How are you feeling?”

She was looking down at the floor, sniffling and attempting to wipe her eyes without ruining her makeup even further. She sighed and shrugged, "as one would expect."

"Broken, confused, sad." she mumbles and groans, "I'll get over it soon enough."

"I just really do wish he had told me sooner… but it might just be a me thing that I fall for people too quickly.. and he was figuring shit out.." she says and sighs.

"Well time to put my walls back up." she mumbles and chuckles.

She was silent for a few minutes, just letting a few tears fall so she wouldn't hold so much in. She took a deep breath and sat up.

"I'm not mad at him though, I couldn't be.. and I shouldn't be mad at her either, none of this was her fault whatsoever." she says then wipes her eyes.

"I wish him the best of luck and hope we can still be cool with each other." she mumbles and lays back into the colorful pillows.

Y/n

You were in the beach hut after receiving your phone, getting a brief rundown on how the beach hut works and you quickly caught on to how you’d respond to the questions.

"How are you feeling?"

"Sooooo good! The date was better than anything I could have expected and for the most part it was a warm welcome!" you exclaim and grin.

"It's very exciting being in here, I still can't believe it!!" you squeal before taking a deep breath, "and the guys- oh my god they look even better up close."

You gave a wink to the camera then straightened up, "I already can't wait for tomorrow."

"How was your date with Miguel?"

“My date with Miguel was way better than I expected. He was really sweet and also very easy on the eyes…” you started then laughed and covered your face.

“Very easy but to be fair, they’re all very handsome!” you added and chuckled.

"Who do you think you'll pull tomorrow?"

"All of them!!" you shout and grin.

"Let's see how many toes I'm gonna be stepping on." you joke then send another wink to the camera.

Day Five Confessionals

Miguel

"That may have been the best kiss I've ever had-" he sighs then grins.

"Once she sat on my lap, I knew I was done for.." he jokes and shakes his head, "in a good way, of course because fuck-"

"I can't explain how ecstatic and relieved I felt when she picked me- It felt nice knowing that I'm not crazy and the things I've been feeling were reciprocated." he says and chuckles, "I can't wait to see where this goes."

"I'm very sad to see my bro David go, and although he didn't find love, he found plenty of new friends."

Peter B

"Never in my life have I ever kissed two girl at the same time-" he starts then grins.

"Would I recommend? Hell yeah!!" he exclaims and shakes his head.

"I couldn't believe it- and to think any of those other fuckers could've gotten it? Nah it landed on the most deserving!" he joked then laughs.

"Also holy shit!! My fucking boy Mig??! If we had a bottle of tequila in the villa right now it would be a fucking celebration all night long." he exclaims then cheers.

"Beyond happy for my man, he needed this." he says and widens his eyes at the camera.

"Also Gwen's dare- a gentleman never spills what he does in the bedroom…" he chuckles and waves the camera off.

He then grins, "But since I'm not one-"

Peter

"I can't believe I did that in front of everyone.." he grumbles and shakes his head.

"Sorry family!!" he shouts, then hides behind his hands.

He then moves his hands and smirks, "glad I did it though…."

"I can't even defend myself either- well- Sorry Mr. Stacy!" he says, his cheeks flushing.

“And ugh it’s gonna be sooo different without David’s ass nagging about little things we do.” He jokes, letting out a chuckle, “I’ll miss you man!!”

Daniel

"Can a guy not be in a silly goofy mood anymore??!" he asks then scoffs, "the girls are fucking strict."

"They run a tight ass ship over here!" he jokes, laughing at his own joke.

He then stopped and gasped, "fuck I am turning into Peter B Jr."

"And it's not my fault David just pulled away-" he says, shaking his head in disbelief.

“Will be missing him though, our shenanigans were my favorites.” He sighs.

David

"I should have seen it coming- I was terrible at communicating but I have nothing against Val and I truly do hope she finds what she's looking for." he says and smiles.

"I also hope my boys get their dream girls, they all deserve it!" he grins.

"My winners pick would have to be Peter B and MJ, those two are the epitome of an amazing couple." he compliments and gives a final wave to the camera.

Raúl

"It started off so strong I was just-" he starts then bursts out laughing, his face turning red.

He cleared his throat then continued, "I was shocked. Can't say I've had a girl suck my finger- Well.... Anyway."

"The two kisses with her- they were fucking amazing." he says then sheepishly grins.

"Don't get me wrong the kiss with Val was good.. it's just those two blew me away to keep it simple." he admits and chuckles.

Jordan

"I liked my kisses! Both were very good.. wanted to keep it short with Y/n out of respect for Jaz. Because although I've been upfront with her I don't want to make her feel bad or anything." he says and shrugs.

"Not that kinda guy." he adds.

"Still can't believe Peter B got that fucking card… like really?" He jokes and chuckles.

"Luckiest man of the night." he says with a smirk on his face.

"It was just a game!!" She says with a pout.

"Listen, yes it was a good kiss, maybe I'd do it again but-" she started but then interrupted herself.

She sat in silence for a few seconds realizing she fucked herself over and might be proving her friends right.

"Yeah I'm not beating any fucking allegations.." she grumbles and groans.

Gwen

"Oh god my dad probably saw that-" she screamed and covered her face.

She groaned and sat up, "Sorry dad!"

“That threeway kiss was absolutely fucking insane- I feel like it makes sense that it was those two.” She says and nods, “I should’ve crawled to MJ too!!”

“And oh I’ll miss David! Who am I going to bother Jordan with now?” She pouts and makes a crying face.

Val

"There is no fucking way that Peter B isn't the most animalistic in bed- I'm sorry there's just no fucking way." She says and shakes her head.

“That man is the freakiest person I’ve ever met and I truly wish I never have to see the sight of him and toes ever again. I’d rather grab a fork and jam my eyeballs. It was horrendous!!” She rambled on and gags.

"David leaving did hurt… but I think it was what made most sense to me, for me. I don't know but I don't hold any grudges against him or anything." she says and smiles.

Suddenly she thinks of something and quickly gasps, “Also my kiss with Raúl- I’m kissing that man at any given opportunity.” She admits, shrugging, “and y’all would be doing the same!”

Jazmin

"I don't know what fucking possessed Danny today but that shit was weird to me- I don't even know why it made me gag but I hateddd that." she explains then gags.

"My first ick, fuck-" she groans and then pouts.

"It's so sad too because I was starting to lean towards him so it like.. kinda put me off him." she says and shrugs, "like all of a sudden he's a jokester?"

"I liked him because he was an awkward type and I don't know if spending time with the guy's is changing him or what the fuck but I need my Danny back…" she says then gasps, "not my- nevermind!!"

Dana

"After reflecting I realized I should not have been such a bitch towards not only Y/n but to MJ and Gwen. A bombshell is here to bombshell and the chaos that followed wasn't her fault." she rambles then sighs, "I had to make things right otherwise I would've felt so guilty all day."

"I only kissed David just which was fine but it just felt weird- that was like kissing a best friend but like a best friend you grew up with." she explains then shivers.

"But hey I had a blast watching the rest of the dares! Jazmin's was hot, she got to kiss her two guys plus Raúl, talk about lucky." She jokes and chuckles.

Y/n

You decided to only do a bit of makeup for the morning/afternoon because the sun was blaring and you personally did not want to melt in front of everyone. Especially on your first full day.

You went into the beach hut and sat down.

"How did your first night go?"

“My first night went well. I think I made a good impression on the islanders, especially the guys.” You say with a smile then giving a sly wink to the camera.

“I’m keeping my cards as close to my chest as possible but the girls should definitely be nervous.” You laughed and pointed a finger at the camera.

“Okay so I knew coming in I’d be stepping on toes but after how well the date went, I don’t think I’ll mind doing it so much…” you admitted and chuckled before shrugging, “Sorry Dana!”

"Who are you pulling?"

"I am going to see who gives me good vibes! A few are on my radar already but we'll have to wait and see how they are today!" you explain and grin.

Later

"The game was fucking fun- I kissed six people and I'm still in awe." you say and fan yourself with your hand.

"The recoupling part was pretty scary… I think I made my mind up on the walk there because I was conflicted all day." you said honestly and hummed.

"Yeah those kisses really did something to me… that- ugh they were good." you say and giggle.

"I'm happy with my choice! I mean the physical attraction and sexual chemistry are there, absolutely there plus add how easy our chats are? Yeah, Miguel was a good choice." you explain, face warming up.

Day Six Confessionals

Miguel

"Starting off by saying, I wouldn't even count the kiss with MJ a kiss.. that was nothing." he begins then laughs, "she is one of my close friends in here so we kept it very short."

"How'd you feel about Y/n wanting to get to know Raúl better?"

"I mean obviously I'm not so happy she wants to get to know other people but I can't blame her, it makes sense." He answers and shrugs.

"I'm not going to tell her what to do and genuinely as long as I'm in the loop with whatever goes on with her and Raúl, I'm all good." He says and nods.

"So you're not going to tell her to stop talking to Raúl?"

"No, of course not." he said and shook his head.

He then shrugged and a smirk tugged on his lips, "I mean I could…"

“But I’m not that evil!” He exclaims, a snort coming out.

“Good thing I know just the man for the job.” He jokes and wiggles his eyebrows at the camera.

Peter B

“How did you feel kissing Val?”

"Yuck she's like my little sister in here so that was fucking weird!! No thank you, please never ever make me do that again." He gags and pretends to throw up.

"You only kissed her for two seconds."

"Two seconds too fucking long!" He groans then shakes his head, “Nuh uh that was-“

He covered his mouth just to really sell his point then grinned at the camera, “y’all already know I had to scare her at the end!”

Peter

“I think I was the only lucky one- literally every girl kissed another guy.” He says and chuckles.

“Well I mean, Y/n got lucky because got Raúl- or let me say ‘lucky’.” He jokes and does air quotes with his fingers.

“But I enjoy kissing Gwen, and I’ll always enjoy kissing Gwen.” He adds, grinning ear to ear.

Daniel

“I don’t know what the hell is going on- she just chose Jordan last night but purposely chose me…” he rambled then groaned.

“She’s hurting my head.” He mumbles and holds his head.

“What did you say to her after the kiss?”

He sits up, blinks, and clears his throat, “nothing.”

Raúl

“I just keep winning!” He exclaims and claps his hands together.

“Whether it was accidental or not, I am so happy it happened and I got to kiss her again.” He grins and runs a hand through his hair.

“I think I’m getting use to it already.” He jokes and chuckles.

“Hope Mig doesn’t mind! Though I think I’ve gotta snatch one outside of a challenge…” he hums then shrugs at the camera.

Jordan

“I was pleasantly surprised-“ he admits then laughs.

“Dana is a great kisser! And I kinda got pied sooo that kiss made up for it!” He says and smiles.

“The most ‘surprising’ had to be Y/n and Raúl’s kiss- I mean damn! Like when he tells me the sexual attraction is there, I can absolutely see that.” He explains with a smirk.

“Well I think we all saw it.” He adds, letting out a chuckle.

“I had a disadvantage for being the first to do it!! How the hell was I supposed to know it was going to be all wonky??” She whines and then groans.

“Whatever the kiss lasted a millisecond so it was fine.” She says then shrugs.

“That Dana and Jordan kiss though…. I’m gonna start something for them.” She jokes then does an evil laugh, rubbing her hands together.

Gwen

“God I love kissing Peter- I swear everyday I feel myself liking him more and more-“ she gushes, her face quickly turning red.

“I’m so happy it landed! Jesus, these girls did awful today.” She jokes then giggles.

“But to be fair it was very entertaining to watch.” She adds and points a finger at the camera.

Val

“That man is such a fucking jerk!!” She complains, pouting before rolling her eyes.

“To be fair, it made sense and it’s a challenge!! I’m gonna have fun and I mean Raúl had his so I will too!” She exclaims then laughs.

“And yeah their kiss looked hot so I can’t even be mad.” She says and shrugs, “a game is a game.”

Jazmin

Before the challenge

“Are you done with Danny?”

"After that weird debacle that gave me the ick- yep I just ew- no never again-" she says, shaking her head and sticking her tongue out.

Later

"We thought you were done with Danny.."

"I'm a professional liar." She answers and shrugs.

Dana

"Jordan is a good kisser." she mumbles and snorts.

"I mean of fucking course he is- have y'all seen him??" she says, grinning then shrugging, "can't blame Jaz on being confused."

"I mean with those kisses I wouldn't wanna leave either…" she says quietly then gives the camera a wink.

Y/n

"I didn't know I'd have shitty aim…" you groan and shake your head.

"But y'know what, I'll take it because I got to have another kiss with Raúl and those so far have been amazing." you grin and think back to the challenge kiss.

"Yeah I'd do that again." you semi joked and giggled.

Okay so! Our laptop broke! It had been having issues for a long time. The battery didn't charge anymore, the fans would either not turn on or blast at full speed and stay stuck whatever way (so it overheated a lot), some of the keys kept popping off, the clock wouldn't sync anymore no matter what we tried it was always a few seconds off, and probably more we're not remembering.

Anyway that's not even what broke it!!

It's broken because the computer keeps crashing. The stop codes say: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED and UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION and also INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR. And that's if it even boots up for a minute. Often it just boots straight to BIOS.

TO BE FAIR this is a 6+ year old hand me down laptop. It's been through three moves. But we have been treating it as well as we can.

HERE'S THE THING. This was a gaming laptop. Sure it was an old one. But before these problems started it ran even newer games well enough.

Our point is, this gaming laptop was one of our only bright lights in the shitty situation we've been in for like 4 years now. (Having to live with abusive people, having no money for ourselves, no control in how our lives go basically) It's our only link to spending time with our friends and partner system. It helps distract us through all our bad mental and physical disabilities.

We need a new gaming laptop. We Need to be able to play our games. And we want this laptop to last for At Least another 6 years, hopefully more. So Ideally we would like a nice one.. We know we can't be too choosey. But it would be wise for the future to get one that will last a while. So that this hopefully doesn't happen again so soon.

So!! We have a couple in mind depending on how much we can raise. If you could even just reblog this and help spread it around we'd be so grateful!!

TLDR!!: Our laptop is Fucked and we need a new one. Please donate and/or reblog this if you can!

Basement Hangout

Vi X Fem!Reader

Chapter 4 of The List

Previous chapters can be found here

Summary: you (along with your mutual friends) surprise Vi with a basement hangout. Shenanigans ensue.

cw: timebomb, melvika, and jayvik included, Caitlyn is also here, Claggor and Mylo mentioned, some other supporting cast appearances, light smut, fingering, some dirty talk, alcohol consumption, smut while slightly intoxicated, Vi’s more dominant in this one, kinda choking but not really, some fluff, I think that’s it.

Word count: 3.3k

an: Hello little gay people in my phone! I give you chapter 4, hope you enjoy it, this one fought me the entire way. Sorry for such a long wait, I just got back to college, which will probably continue to alter the pace at which I post these, but I do plan on continuing to post, although my pace may slow. I’m also predicting a couple caitvi fics in my future, so be on the lookout for those. If you want to see anything specific in this fic, or be added to the tag list, let me know! And as always, men and minors dni.

“M’ so fucking cold, is he incapable of answering his door in a timely manner?” Vi huffed. You and your girlfriend stood waiting outside on the steps of Ekko’s house. It was now full blown winter, and was, in fact, actively snowing as you stood there.

It had been over a month since you and Vi made that blanket fort in the living room of your shared apartment, the last thing you had done off the list. Between work, holidays, and overall life in general, you both hadn’t gotten to cross any more things off it, but on the bright side, Vi had finally shared the list in its entirety with you. And it was long. A lot of the things were season specific, such as camping, but many were not, like the one you were surprising Vi with tonight.

“I don't understand why we couldn't have just picked this stuff up tomorrow. We’re freezing our asses off for nothing,” Vi continued with her complaining.

“Ekko asked nicely, so we’ll just get this over with and then we can go home, alright?” you soothed. Of course, this was all a ruse to get Vi over here, and hopefully she would feel differently when the surprise was revealed. When you had read over the list, the idea of a “basement hangout” had burrowed its way into your head and would not leave. So, you decided to band all your friends together to help surprise Vi. Ekko had been the one to offer his place as the setting, considering he was the only one with a finished basement. The trickiest part was getting Vi over here without having her get suspicious. You had Ekko call you while you were in front of Vi to ask if the two of you could come over to pick some things up left over from the holiday party he had. Vi was not happy about it, but she’d do basically anything for a lifelong friend, so here you stood. And, safe to say, Vi was too cold to be suspicious, if she ever was to begin with.

At that moment, you heard the sound of a lock sliding back, and then the door swung open, revealing Ekko, who was dressed in black sweatpants and a dark olive-green sweatshirt.

“Come in, come in.” Ekko ushered you both inside. Vi hurriedly marched indoors first, giving Ekko a somewhat pointed look when passing him. “It’s just down in the basement, I’ll show you where.”

He shot you a wink while Vi wasn’t looking, then led you both down the stairs to the basement. It was warm down there, string lights hung against the walls and wrapped around the exposed beams on the ceiling, but other than that, it was completely dark.

“It’s just over here…” Ekko said, pointing vaguely around the bend of the stairs. He turned on a floor lamp, drenching the room in light, and simultaneously people jumped out from behind the couch, from the closet, from around the corner, and yelled “Surprise!” Vi turned to you, a shocked look on her face. You just gave her a smile, shoving her shoulder lightly with yours.

“Surprise,” you said, grinning at her and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.

“But it’s not my birthday,” Vi countered incredulously, like that was the only time surprising her was acceptable.

“I know. This is from the list, a ‘basement hangout’ if I remember correctly,” you said. She hummed in response, then, abruptly, gave you a rather salacious kiss that caught you off guard and had your friends either groaning out ew’s or whistling low. You pulled away breathless, a blush creeping up your cheeks, and Vi gave you the cheekiest grin of all time.

After recovering from that, you turned your attention to your friends, who were already getting the party started by pouring drinks and playing music through the surround-sound speakers. And it really was appropriate to say party, considering how many of your mutual friends had shown up. There was Ekko, of course, and Jinx, as well as Caitlyn, Viktor, Jayce, Mel, Sevika, Lest, Maddie, Claggor, Mylo, Scar, and Steb. Maybe you had overdone it with the invitations, and it no longer resembled a chill hangout with friends, but everyone seemed to be having a good time, so you supposed it didn’t really matter.

You and Vi, stripped of your coats, took your time saying hello to everyone, but only after you got drinks in your hands. You got a malibu cranberry, while Vi got a vodka redbull. Settling down on one of the couches, Vi wrapped her arm around you and leaned back. It was almost comical the way your position mirrored the other couples in attendance: Mel and Sevika were sitting on the adjacent couch, Mel basically in Sev’s lap, while Jayce and Viktor were occupying an armchair, Jayce in the chair while Viktor propped himself on the arm. And then there was Ekko and Jinx, who were sitting on the same couch as you and Vi, but where Ekko sat normally, Jinx sat perched on the back of the couch behind him. Your uncoupled friends dotted the rest of the room, either sitting or standing in semi-circles talking with one another.

“Beer pong, anyone?” Jayce asked, pointing to the empty table near the hallway.

“I’ll play,” Viktor answered.

“So will I,” Jinx volunteered.

“Either of you want to play?” Viktor asked when no one else said anything, pointing towards you and Vi.

“I’ll just watch this first round,” you said, giving Viktor a smile.

“And I’m gonna stay with my girl a while longer,” Vi answered, subconsciously pulling you closer to her. You blushed slightly, always going a little red when Vi called you her girl. It didn’t matter that you had been together for years, you were still going to blush. But what you were also going to do was blame it on the alcohol.

“Alright, I’ll play,” Ekko said, shooting you both an exasperated look.

The two couples rose from their seats and made their way towards the table. Jayce and Ekko occupied one end, while Jinx and Viktor stood at the other. And soon enough, ping pong balls began bouncing back and forth. The table was at a good angle and distance away to where you could watch them play and still contribute to the conversation, but could also tune it out or have a separate conversation with Vi and the others sitting down around you.

You sipped on your drink, already half downed, and did your best to pay attention to your friends playing, but your girlfriend was making it increasingly difficult to focus. The hand that was not holding her drink was around your waist, drawing lazy patterns there and working together with the alcohol to heat your skin. You fidgeted, squirming slightly in Vi’s grip, which only made her grasp on you tighter.

“So I heard about this list…” Mel said, pulling your attention away from the beer pong and towards where she and Sev sat on the couch next to yours. “What is it exactly?”

“Oh, well, um…” you tried to find a decent explanation without having to explain the ‘why’ part of it, but Vi beat you to it.

“It’s a list of things we both have never done and want to do,” she said simply.

“So, like a bucket list?” Sevika interjected.

“Kinda, but more to the tune of stupid teenager shit,” you said.

“I see, alright, that makes sense. Maybe we should start one, huh Sev?” Mel said, nudging her partner.

“Anything you want, my love,” Sevika replied, smiling at her girlfriend. Mel just shook her head, amused at Sev’s response, a smile curving her mouth.

“That makes sense, considering what we're doing. Very teenager-esque, I must say. But I feel like something’s missing, like we need to be playing spin-the-bottle or explicit truth or dare,” Mel said.

“Ekko has drunk jenga,” you said, pointing to a pile of games stacked high in the corner.

“That's perfect. Alright, who wants to play drunk jenga?” Mel asked the room, and a chorus of ‘I will’s followed. So while Mel and Sevika grabbed the game and began setting it up, you went to grab yourself another drink, Vi following behind you.

“Do you want another one, babe?” you ask Vi, who was in the process of snaking her hands around your front to hug you from behind.

“I’m alright, thank you though,” she said from just over your shoulder. So you fixed your drink, a Dirty Shirley this time, all while having a rather clingy Vi attached to your back, then joined your friends.

While Jinx, Ekko, Jayce, and Viktor played beer pong, you, Vi, Mel, Sev, Lest, Scar, Maddie, Caitlyn, and Setb (in that order) huddled around the coffee table to play drunk jenga. Since it was Mel and Sev’s idea, they went first. Mel pulled one from right in the middle, sliding it out and reading it aloud.

“Take a shot with the person to your right,” she said, then looked towards Sevika, who was already getting up to go get shot glasses and vodka. Sev came back, poured the shots, cheered with Mel and downed it, barely making a face at its taste. Mel, on the other hand, made a twisted face at the taste. And since they had pulled a block semi-together, it was now Lest’s turn. She pulled one from the edge close to the bottom, its removal slightly more difficult than the block Mel pulled, then read it aloud.

“Kiss the person to your right,” she said, and a small blush appeared on her cheeks. She turned to her right to face Scar, Ekko’s long-time friend, who looked a little shocked and flushed, but played it off well. Hesitantly they kissed, a quick and gentle peck, but it was cute enough to bring a smile to your face.

It went on like that, your friends pulling blockers that made the structure more precarious each turn, reading them aloud and quickly getting more intoxicated. And then it was your turn. You surveyed the tower, looking for a block to pull that wouldn’t tip the entire structure over, and went with the bottom middle block. As you poked and prodded, the tower shifted, but you were able to pull the block free without losing the game.

“Seven minutes in heaven,” you read out, and as soon as the words left your lips, Vi, with a wicked grin on her face, was pulling you away and down the hall. She stopped at the hall closet, flung the door open, then pushed you inside, closing the door behind her.

The slats in the door allowed enough light in for you to get the gist of shapes, but it was still pretty dark. Your heart was pounding, probably due to the combination of alcohol and adrenaline in your blood. Vi had hauled you off rather quickly, you barely had time to set your almost empty cup down, and now you were standing very close to your girlfriend in a very confined space. Good thing you weren't claustrophobic.

“I haven't been in one of these in years,” you joked, looking around the small space and attempting to diffuse the growing tension. Vi had been exceptionally touchy this evening, and being in a confined space alone with her was only making you more soaked.

“I think we should play a game,” Vi whispered, leaning in close.

“Besides seven minutes in heaven?” you asked.

“I think we should play the game where whoever makes the other come first wins.” Vi leaned back slightly, surveying your face with a small grin on hers. She knew you were two drinks down, and even though you weren't completely drunk yet, you were still pretty tipsy. Her surveying you was your chance to say no. But you didn’t want to. That grin on her face let you know she knew you were tipsy, and because of that would be at a disadvantage when it came to the game. And you wanted nothing more than to prove her wrong.

Instead of answering her with words, you launched yourself at her, pulling her into a hard and frantic kiss. You threw your arms around her neck, pressing your body against hers, and tangled one of your hands in her hair, pulling slightly at the strands. Vi moaned low, and the sound went straight to your clit. You pulled back from the kiss only to have your hands shoot straight to the front of her pants, working the button loose. Vi, catching on, did the same to your pants. Soon enough you were dragging your hand through her happy trail and into her boxers, her hand not far behind in yours.

Vi’s fingers pushed into you, only to find you completely soaked. “All this already? If you were so needy you could have just said something,” she taunted.

“Shut up,” you retorted, but there was no bite behind the words. While she dragged her fingers through your folds, spreading your slick and lazily circling your clit, you pushed two fingers into her and slowly ground the palm of your hand against her clit. Her walls clenched around the intrusion, but the new wave of slick, along with her surprised moan, let you know you were welcome.

Both of you seemed to have differing strategies: where Vi was more lazy and teasing with her movements, you were precise and strategic. Or at least you were trying to be. As soon as Vi sunk two fingers into you and started curling them, your movements faltered. You tried to keep up, tried to play it off by stifling your moans and rubbing her clit harder, and while, yes, Vi was moaning and whimpering slightly, your ministrations were nothing compared to hers. She knew your body like the back of her hand, knew all the right buttons to press, when to press them, and how to make you fall apart in her hands.

“What's the matter, babe? Can’t keep up?” she taunted. You kissed her to shut her up, but also to hopefully regain some control. You knew she loved when you were loud, and you knew she loved when you played with her tits. So you did both. You moaned, excessively, into the kiss, syncing it up with her thrusts, and worked your free hand inside her shirt and under her bra. You grazed your fingers over her nipple, which elicited a gasp from her, breaking the kiss for only a second before she pulled you back into it. You knew she knew what you were doing, so you tried to be as unpredictable as possible. You pinched her nipple, which earned you a guttural moan, the sound making you smile against the kiss. Now you are in control.

But it didn’t last long. Vi broke the kiss and instead pressed her forehead against yours, her heavy breathing mixing with yours. And then the next thing you knew there was a hand on your throat and you were being pushed back against the wall, her fingers still circling tightly around your clit. Your back hit the wall, and you wanted to complain that this position wasn’t fair, but then Vi started kissing you again, and the hand on your throat was squeezing just so, and her fingers were working you closer and closer to the edge. You were dizzy, hazy from the alcohol, breathless, still kissing her, and you tried your hardest to keep up, circling her clit and adding a third finger, but it was a lost cause. You were losing your footing, your hand was stopping and starting, your jerky movements doing little to bring Vi much pleasure.

You pulled away from the kiss, panting, and rested your forehead on Vi’s shoulder. You just needed to focus.

“Not very good at this game, are you?” she whispered into your ear, her voice dripping with mock-condicention. You tried to speak, tried to come up with a retort, but all you could manage was a weak moan. “Why don’t you come for me, baby. It’s okay, you can do it,” she said, her breath ghosting your ear. And then, as if that wasn’t enough, she was kissing your neck, your jaw, that spot behind your ear that always made you squirm, and it was your undoing.

You came with a strangled cry of her name, wave after wave of pleasure crashing into you as Vi kept up her movements, and you would have collapsed if it hadn’t been for Vi snaking the hand that was previously on your throat around your back to keep you upright. She soothed and cooed at you, bringing you slowly but surely back to reality.

Foreheads pressed together and hands still in each other's pants, there was a small nock on the closet door. “What?” Vi said, while her breath still mingled with your.

“Um, I’m supposed to tell you that the seven minutes is up,” you heard Jayce say from beyond the door.

“Got it,” Vi responded, and you couldn't help but laugh, Vi joining you in your giggles. You removed your hand, Vi mirroring your movements, and when Vi slipped her come-covered fingers into her mouth to clean them off, you did the same.

“I may have lost,” you said, “but did I really lose?” You gave Vi a cocky look as you buttoned your pants.

She hummed. “I guess we both won, in different ways.” You gave her another quick kiss before readjusting your clothes and smoothing your hair, making sure everything was as it should be. Vi did the same, and soon enough you were opening the closet door and stepping out to join the party once more.

As you made your way back, hand-in-hand with Vi, a handful of your friends gave you knowing looks, and some of them even whistled, but most didn’t react. You knew you should have tried to be quiet, and you had for the most part, but you had assumed the distance plus the music would have drowned out most of the moaning. Maybe you had miscalculated. But it didn’t matter now.

You and Vi rejoined the party, chatted with friends and played a couple more games, but stuck to water for the rest of your time there. And after a couple more hours, you were yawning, curled up against Vi, about ready to fall asleep. Vi had been talking with Ekko, a conversation you were too tired to follow, but noticed your yawning and decided it was time to go.

She got you into your coat, pulling your hat onto your head and zipping you up, then put her own on. She thanked Ekko profusely, as well as your remaining friends, which you also did, albeit more groggily, then guided you up the stairs and out the door towards the car. It had stopped snowing, and the car didn’t need much scraping off before it was able to be driven. Vi guided you into the passenger seat, making sure your seat belt was clicked in before closing your door and making her way around to settle into the driver's seat.

“Thank you for tonight, it was wonderful,” she said. Though you were on the verge of falling asleep, you heard her through the haze.

“You’re welcome, baby. Anything for you,” you mumbled, then proceeded to fall asleep.

Kris Is ... The Earth - A Deltarune Theory

A last-minute write-up on a theory I came up with to hopefully explain the seldom-seen connections between Kris and the Earth, the possibility that the Earth is a character, and some deeper things I really didn't expect to tie into this whole mess.

The Similarities

To start off, using the apples Kris is associated with, we can begin to compare their structure with the Earth's (at least in our world).

Most crucial is the core, in both cases it's a bright, solid structure at the center. Although apple seeds don't glow, there is a reason I'm using them to draw this conclusion.

Then she BIT THE WHOLE APPLE IN HALF! Including the core. She even ate the seeds, which, um, contain arsenic if you didn't know.

The apple core is brought up in the sweepstakes, just before Susie compares Kris to an apple. While the core is the most substantial similarity here, there's more if you're willing to believe in a stretch.

The same quote mentions arsenic, which stood out to me since people usually bring up the cyanide in seeds. Arsenic is still toxic like cyanide, but it's also widely distributed in the Earth's crust. The crust, like the crust of the pies Kris absorbs or of the pizzas ICE-E advertises... As I said, this is a stretch.

It gets even more confusing (get used to that feeling!) when you consider the mantle. Not only are there the (optional) Shadow Mantle and Sky Mantle, Kris' neck cloth thing has been referred to as a mantle...and an ascot in-game.

OK, back to the "core."

THEN THE WORLD WAS COVERED IN DARKNESS.

Giving up at Chapter 1's game over screen shows this text, from which we can deduce that the Soul is required to ensure the new future Gaster was talking about. Since it's preventing the world from being covered in darkness, and it can glow (shine) as previously stated, the Soul has to do with light.

Similarly, the Grand Fountain is necessary for the balance of light and dark (the only one that doesn't get sealed), while being made of pure darkness. Both are contained within our characters of interest.

It may also be that, as the Earth bears the light world and dark world, Kris carries the weight of OUR world represented by the Soul.

They're not the same, of course. Kris can remove the Soul, and there's nothing controlling the Earth. Right?

There's a bit more to that second point. One thing that almost all personifications of the Earth share is caring about their residents/children, Gaia in Greek mythology for example. While it's nowhere near our control over Kris and may not even be considered control at all, one could argue that life on the planet drives the Earth to keep spinning in order to keep it alive.

But that's not a very strong idea (for now), let's go back to control.

Kris is their own person with a predefined identity, someone who doesn't just accept our influence and wouldn't normally have done what we've made them do. The game making this clear is a subversion.

The typical RPG player character is only a(n often overlooked) viewpoint or tool you experience the game's world through. They are at the center of this world, but that's more so a byproduct of the game's world revolving around the player. Normally the player character having their own identity or autonomy is accidental or an afterthought as that would get in the way of the player imbuing the player character with their own meaning. The typical RPG (or game in general) makes you go right to progress.

We all know how the expectations for this approach were handled with Kris, but it's less obvious for the Earth who isn't our avatar, in the game. In real life, the Earth's hospitable climate being the reason we can experience the world isn't acknowledged in everyday life. (Just to be clear, I'm not trying to preach or anything, I'm just drawing parallels.) Geocentrism put the Earth at the center of the world because of the life (humanity) inhabiting it, not because of her personality or something. A "personality" which we would have to come up with ourselves, AKA imbuing her with our own meaning.

To get back to the game and identity/autonomy, Kris having their own and being an actual character (so bluntly) is unexpected. There's precedence for the Earth, the planet no one expects is even alive, to be her own character, too.

Then, her heart pounding... The EARTH will draw her final breath.

Not only described as a living organism in the prophecy, but also a her. Susie mistaking the fountain for a person in the Japanese translation. (The word for fountain in Japanese sounds like a girl's name.) The fact that one of the races in Deltarune is objects brought to life. Why not extend that to a celestial object?

An object that moves east. A character (and player) made to go right to progress. This isn't a "connection" I've pulled out of my ass, the weird route calls attention to the generic method of progression by disrupting it. Noelle has a bad feeling about you moving to the left as soon as you get her in your party, you have to backtrack - go left - to freeze more enemies, and you have to backtrack to get to Spamton's dumpster.

While the weird route is weird and backtracking to progress is just another way the player is going against the intended path, I believe it is no coincidence that in that same route, a blue, spherical object has been torn off its set path.

For us and Kris, this track is dictated by the game.

For the Earth..?

Her existence revolves around it,

the center of her world.

I didn't forget that this is the similarities section. But what, or who, could be a Sun-like figure in Kris' life?

It seems obvious in hindsight. The contrast is one of the very first thing you see after getting through the intro.

It's Asriel. Think about it:

Golden boy of the town / Star of the solar system

Kris lives in his shadow / the Earth literally revolves around it

Star motif (carried over from Undertale)

Colors the Sun is most commonly associated with appear in his UT design (white fur, green & yellow sweater)

Would carry Kris to school / Sun "carries" the Earth with its gravitational pull

The Moon, the Earth's satellite, reflects light from the Sun / Ralsei's appearance and name "reflect" Asriel, also he fucking follows (orbits) Kris in the puzzle where they revolve around the center

The astronomical symbol for the Sun is a shield with an inner circle or "boss" / Asriel is a boss monster

Here are some of the symbols in question. (Mercury isn't important.)

One thing I should mention is that the Earth is represented by another symbol, aside from this one.

The globus cruciger.

Though this symbol doesn't appear in the game, what's interesting is that it translates to "cross-bearing orb" and Kris (Cross Applesauce) originates from the name Christopher (Χριστόφορος), meaning "Christ-bearer."

(And following ICE-E's quirk (as pointed out by Pizzapants) of turning I's into E's, Kris would become Kres. An alternate form of Gaia is Gaea, but this is most likely a stretch.)

Something else is that this variant looks a lot like the Venus symbol, just flipped upside down basically. In fact, the actual planets are called sister planets due to their physical similarities. However, this theory is about the Earth; why would I bring in Venus?

You see, Venus was not always thought of as a planet, or even a single entity. As the third brightest object in Earth's sky, depending on its position, it was called the Morning Star or the Evening Star. "The morning star" is one meaning behind the word/name Lucifer in the Bible, alongside "the planet Venus" or "light-bringing."

And that part about the planet thought to be a star...

What did Kris' dark world room look like again?

A flipped version of their brother's (again, figuratively the Sun, a star) light world side, packed with stars.

Speaking of the dark world, here's Kris wielding a shield like the symbol for the Sun. (Their light world sweater could also fit here, but more on that later.) It's not round, and there's no inner circle...

OK, away from the shield. Look at their skin. Blue. Blue person. Fellow bluebird. Tea can taste like blueberries. You know where else the color blue is brought up? The goner maker.

The classic RGB, and cyan. Not only is cyan part of CMYK, it's very close to blue. No real reason to include it, especially when the choices are already sparse - is what one might think at first.

It starts making more sense if we take blue to be the Earth's color and cyan Kris's. While Kris may appear blue, their battle icon is cyan, matching with their CMYK team mates (Magenta - Susie; Yellow - Noelle; Key - Ralsei probably). The distinction is there because, as the vessel and creator are assumed to have different names, despite their similarities, they are not the same. Funny thing if you do give them the same name, though.

OF COURSE OF COURSE. OF COURSE THEY ARE THE SAME.

There's something I've been neglecting to mention. The original Earth symbol AKA the solar cross.

To understand the significance of this symbol, we have to go deeper. The depths of what separates these two characters from the rest, beyond this back-and-forth of connections.

They're both different. Kris, a human in a town of monsters – the Earth, a habitable planet in a barren solar system. Part of what makes them "human" or "habitable" is the water that makes up their body or surface.

Water, also known as

darkness.

The Crux

What's the point?

Sure, these similarities are eyebrow-raising, but they're not that substantial. They are relatively unstable stepping stones leading towards an unknown conclusion.

Still, I believe this shaky foundation must mean something, that it must have been put there for a reason. This section contains a calculated guess as to what that reason could be.

Here are two noteworthy panels from the kinda important legend of DELTA RUNE in the DELTARUNE game that I'm bringing up again. So, the Earth will die, in the same prophecy that foretells the arrival of heroes who will save the world? The planet that holds up the dark world, light world, all life and the fountains, isn't that important to restoring balance? Hey, it's the logic of an ancient prophecy from a video game, doesn't need to make total sense. It's not as if there are any hints on what the consequences of the Earth's death could be...

...or not.

Yes, Deltarune probably doesn't take place in 1999, what matters is that the year 2000 brings to mind the Y2K problem and the fear surrounding it, like thinking that the apocalypse would come. That "a terrible calamity would occur." The Earth becoming still after her death is also more believable than absolutely nothing changing. It doesn't get brought up in the prophecy because preventing the destruction of the world is more important and the primary goal.

Yet, after all is said and done and the heroes banish the Angel's Heaven, the motionless corpse of the planet remains a problem. There has been speculation as to how catastrophic it could be if the Earth stopped spinning for a few seconds, never mind an entire future!

Even if Deltarune's world is more resilient, every character would have to face the fact that things won't be the same anymore. That something believed to be a constant support for eons could suddenly die and stop moving. Friends and family would have to deal with an unstable reality so different from what they once knew.

If someone had the power to prevent this from happening, wouldn't it be their responsibility to do the right thing?

Someone who is already so similar to her, they could take on the mantle. To become a vessel for the world and bear the cross.

Where does (a variant of) this symbol appear?

Just before and during the creation of Kris' fountain.

(And maybe here, but those could just be stylized rose windows.)

This cross, I believe, represents the Earth's blood (?), darkness.

But if Kris were to take her place, how do they inherit this darkness? It's unlikely that any old human could do just because they have water, even Kris in their current from probably couldn't explode into a planet. There would need to be some sort of transformation, a metamorphosis perhaps, to make them more... habitable.

A terraforming process, achieved by sealing, or rather, absorbing the dark fountains.

Slowly transpiring in the background, presented as something you need to do to go home and save the world with no way to back out. It does seem to be necessary, but there are some unintended consequences. Unintended to us and Kris, that is, but intentional to the Earth, who wishes to seal Kris' fate.

Her influence runs deeper than you'd think.

Down to the depths.

(The text isn't that important, I just wanted to get that background and thought the text was fitting enough for the part where I claim that Kris is absorbing the Earth's essence.)

Imagine it (with a lot of assumptions): the Earth knows that her time is almost up, but doesn't know if her children will persist. Perhaps she sees herself in one of them, someone who has similarly been marked by the darkness.

Sensing the arrival of a new variable, the SOUL, something she can give Kris to help prepare, something to seal the fountains with, she interrupts the goner maker. The Earth discards the vessel planned to be our host, and instead hides us inside Kris. She shares some of the wisdom she has gathered from her millennia of living.

This viewpoint is based on the reality of Deltarune's world.

Light and dark have lived in balance for millennia, but what really is this balance?

It seems to be the Lightners being above the Darkners, literally and figuratively. They are gods that can use and abandon the Darkners as they see fit, while the Darkners have no choice but to fulfill the "purpose" from the Lightners whose existence goes against their own.

The Darkners are shackled to the dark worlds and the nature of their object. A world they would get to rule doesn't exist, even in the Roaring that results from too much darkness, the Darkners would simply turn to stone. Oh, and their choices are to move to Castle Town or stay in a dark world that disappears once the fountain is sealed.

You might think, well, King's plan would have been a bust, but not only did Queen learn that the Roaring would end the world, before that she was pretty good at trapping, controlling and even seriously harming (see Berdly's arm) the Lightners who are apparently stronger than her. Yet, she is still confined to the dark and the root of her motivation is still wanting to assist the Lightners.

(The secret bosses don't win, either. Jevil turns into an item and Spamton dies or also turns into an item if they don't stay lonely or homeless in their dark world.)

The Earth must have seen this lack of choice play out many more times, not just with Darkners, but in Lightner society. Spectating from the very bottom of the hierarchy, holding up the world containing the children who use and hurt her by making fountains, among other ways. Despite this, it is in her nature to care for and protect her children, even if it comes down to putting one through the same hell she lived through to keep the others alive.

But Kris won't stand for this, right?

They have friends and family who will miss them when they're gone, dark worlds they want to explore, and more.

Hell, if they know about their relation to the Earth on some level, a part of the reason they might've ripped their soul out and created a fountain are wanting (to feel in) control and screwing with that relation. They're the one taking out and putting back the soul, not someone else forcing it onto them. They're creating a fountain from the Earth, who can't exactly stab herself.

Looking at all this information, one would think, or hope, that Kris won't replace the Earth. No man is an island. How long would they last through this hell until the cycle repeats? Surely they're sensible enough to realize how terrible it would be and find a better way.

...There is still cause for concern.

For one, there's the problem of where that darkness they're apparently absorbing is going. The whole party levels up with each sealed fountain, but this value is called fakelv in the files... And surely there would be some side effect from the darkness residing in their body/soul, and if not, it's not impossible for someone who, say, benefits from more darkness, to figure out where it's going to.

Then there's the fact that Kris does care for their friends and family, and the world.

They can tell Undyne about the dark worlds.

Huh? A super-dangerous alternate world in the Library? More are appearing? People might fall inside…?

They bring up the world being in danger to the kings, unprompted.

What, you say? Your world is in danger?

And they seem to take the hero biz seriously, judging from the Talk options at Seam's Seap.

We're legendary Ha ha ha … So you are the "heroes" who are going to seal our Fountain?

Of course they can care for the world and also not want to give up their life when there has to be a better way, but it's something to consider.

Another thing to consider is that we don't know Kris' background. If I'm right about the goner maker and darkeyes, what else could they have been involved with that might influence their decision or future?

Even I don't know how deep this really goes... But I have another guess!

Unused dialogue and suspicious merch

If you've gotten this far, chances are you know the unused dialogue/error handlers I'm going to be talking about.

Let's get one thing out of the way: Gaster. I've connected some of these to Kris for the sake of the theory, but in all likelihood they're probably about Gaster because these lines are unused and rhyme and are kinda Gaster-y in general. For the sake of the theory I also connected the man himself to this mess via Greek mythology nonsense, which I'm shrugging off here.

(The parallel is that Gaia created the Hecatoncheires, giants with a hundred hands, and one of the co-creators of the Wingdings (Gaster - man who speaks in hands) font is named Kris.)

The first line is the "The pain itself is reason why." one. Again, probably Gaster, I just wanted to include it because something something face cuts and pain, darkeye and planet hell.

The second one needs to be read in full.

You've come again to this wonderful place. Now tear off the mask beneath your face!

Let me tell you, I spent a WHILE wondering what the fuck a mask beneath the face could be. It turned out I WAS getting somewhere by putting every-fucking-thing about this game through a Kris-and-Earth lens AND getting ticked off by strange merch descriptions.

Bingo. The shirt is mask. This probably ties into the Kris star thing, but that's not important. More importaner is that this means that the chest is a face. You have some designs where that's the case, like Knight Knight, Mysteryman and an unused God Asriel design.

The chest doesn't have to be a face, the original line could be referring to the mask literally beneath the face as I've heard some say. These people do not have the same kind of brainrot as me. According to my rot, Kris' chest/body is a face for:

"The mask beneath the face" to be the soul, which they tear off/out

2. Mystery valentines letter dot-connectings

(But, if you squint your eyes, and, you squint your heart... For some reason, you feel you could understand it) - squint your (face organ) and (chest organ) NOW, PUT ON YOUR COAT AND WASH YOUR FACE! OR, PUT ON YOUR FACE AND WASH YOUR COAT. -coat and face are interchangeable -also the letter mentions the new year, the earth completing a full revolution around the sun

3. Another link to the Earth, as her entire surface is considered a face. (The face of the Earth)

While we're at it with the face and chest organs, here are a few fun little comparisons.

Kris: Red Blood

Earth: Dark Blood (darkness, just roll with it)

Kris: Red Eyes

Earth: Dark Eyes (the puzzle eyes are called darkeye in the files)

Kris: Red Soul

Earth: DARKHEART

"her heart pounding"? This motherfucker right here. The DELTA()RUNE. The red heart is Undertale's logo, the dark heart is Deltarune's. HEART is an anagram of EARTH. Cool. I guess it explains some dialogue from both games, since the Earth is pretty old.

And fulfill the ancient prophecy, foretold by time and space. That emblem actually predates written history. The original meaning has been lost to time…

Does this mean that the Earth also has a soul? I have no idea. So far it's just been hearts, but I wouldn't be surprised if she did. Like a middle ground between probably soulless Darkners and ensouled Lightners. One might think it's guaranteed because she has enough determination to keep spinning (and enough to preserve for a while in UT), but soulless Kris has enough determination/willpower to make a fountain, so it might be a darkheart thing.

Speaking of Kris, fuck it, let's say they have this too. It would explain Spamton's "heart on a chain" dialogue ("little sponge" also works for the fountains) and makes Kris ripping out the soul while standing on the DELTARUNE rug in Chapter 1 more interesting. Additionally, it recontextualizes Toby's comment. "I feel very blessed that the player of the game thinks things like “Kris! I wish I had a plush of Kris so I could open it up and see what’s inside!”" I went from chalking it up to general Kris weirdness, to human weirdness, to fountains and finally the heart thing.

And King's quote. "By the Knight's will, I shall shatter your heart to pieces!" The Knight is making fountains which is probably bad for the Earth's heart, and Kris's? Probably not about this, actually, but by including this quote I've inserted King's entire text after you try to talk to him with Kris! Just scattered around the post.

OK, about time I wrap this up before it devolves into rambling.

Clarification, a lot of clarification

YOU CAN SEE YOUR REFLECTION IN A PUDDLE, BUT... DON'T LET A BODY OF WATER DETERMINE YOUR SELF-WORTH!!!

Some tangentially related Papyrus call dialogue to set the scene.

If you thought something was off while reading, hopefully that's brought up here.

Why the dots in the title?

"Kris Is The Earth" would have been misleading, the dots leave room for a more accurate summary, albeit less attention-grabbing or more complicated, like "Kris Is Like The Earth" or "Kris Is Meant To Replace The Earth."

The item that points to Kris' very "nature" is shampoo anybody can apply.

The apples are probably one of the weakest connections, but I thought I'd include it because it was one of the first that led me to start thinking in this direction.

The world and the Earth seem to be different, why is Jevil's track and quote about the world revolving/spinning included?

The world still brings to mind the Earth. I think the distinction is important in most places, but for Jevil it's vague theming that might be important later. Plus he calls the party Lightners, even though he recognizes three members, one of which is a Dark World-being. I don't think Jevil is worried about the specifics.

Dark World Kris is meant to reference Ares from the Brandish series, not the Sun.

I'll admit, the Sun shield thing is strange, but both can be true. The Varik resemblance is interesting for another reason, though. His ultimate equipment is the Sol Armor, Star Shield and the Planet Buster... but what I really need to get into is the HALLOWEEN HACK. Here's an excerpt from the making of document.

What do Varik's eyes look like anyway? IDENTITY CRISIS? One of the things you'll probably notice and be confused by is the identity crisis I put in there. Because I was lazy, Varik appears to be Ness at the death screen, and plus the game starts in Ness's bed with Varik dreaming that he's Ness. So anyone else would probably be like… well, I'm lazy, people are just gonna think I'm lazy! Hey, but that's not all there is to it! If you didn't notice, there's a huge number of additional spots in the game where a comparison between Ness and Varik are made. Some old lady in Twoson misremembers Ness's name as yours… Ness in Magicant mistakes you for himself… Varik is referred to in the dialogue multiple times as "Giygas slayer," and another thing… Dr. Andonuts mentions "Varik's eyes… his eyes" twice, once when you first meet him and another time at the end. Who do you think he's talking about, really? And finally… Ness isn't in the museum, but Varik's nameplate is under where he should be. And look, he fits just fine up there. You can actually just walk onto it. Hahahaha. So what do you think that means? Make of it what you like.

I know, Toby has grown since that hack, but it's still pretty interesting since the identity crisis idea has been carried into future projects. In Deltarune, while the player won't immediately (or ever) make the Kris-Earth connection like with the Varik-Ness confusion, there's double the identity crisis to make up for it!

Instead of the Earth, the player will confuse Kris for a) themselves (there was even a dialogue change from 'Kris' to 'You' for the Hot Chocolate text) and b) Frisk/Chara.

If sealing the fountains is part of the Earth's plan, why do Toby (in the anniversary stream) and Spamton (in the weird route) say that you're stealing them?

I could always be wrong about the Earth's motivation. Barely anyone thinks she's alive, let alone a person who does things for a reason. Some actions and text might indicate full-on stealing indeed, such as Kris stealing stuff from Noelle's room and this text.

"Box of Heart Candy" - It's not yours. Will that stop you?

But I actually figured this out without needing to rethink that motivation. Stealing could also mean taking something that was meant for sharing, like the pie. In this case Kris/the soul could be stealing the darkness from the fountains that was meant for the whole party.

"Only they can seal the fountains" from the prophecy implies that all three of the heroes should be able to seal them, not just Kris. The art of Susie, Kris and Ralsei standing in front of a fountain also seems to indicate this, while Ralsei doesn't get anywhere near a fountain in-game and even says that only Kris can seal them.

What I think this means is that the Earth giving Kris the Soul messed with the prophecy's plan and made it so only Kris can seal, or steal, the fountains. I got this idea based on Susie's dialogue when you try to go back without seeing her room. "Damn, all you wanna do is run off and steal cake." This is after she eats the cake Ralsei made that was meant for sharing.

Cake representing darkness seems odd, but there's some evidence for it. Top Chef's dialogue from earlier putting the night as the counterpart to the cake, Ralsei making cakes from his cauldron probably filled with darkness/dark magic and the cake (top/spin cake, like the Earth's movement...) heals everyone while the darkness levels everyone up. Speaking of levels...

How is Kris solely absorbing the darkness when every party member levels up after a fountain is sealed? A vague variable name most players don't know about is not good defense.

Admittedly, there are times when it seems like other characters might transform as well. As stated, the heroes level up and they end up in control of a single body that combines their powers (to defeat Queen). The very, very wonderful trio's colors combine to make black, darkness. Kris and Susie in particular get the closest to the fountains and there's some text that points out how inseparable they are.

However, other characters just aren't as closely related to this specific mess. To answer the original question, the soul absorbing the fountains is Kris's, it still resides in Kris. Even when the soul appears during Susie's fight against Lancer, it comes from the side of the screen where Kris would be. Their friends leveling up actually adds fuel to the fire. If the fountain empowers their friends, who don't have the fountain-sponge in their bodies, how does it affect Kris who does?

...the Earth's blood?

It sounds cool, works for the similarities that lead to Darkheart and makes the Halloween art where Kris is a vampire more interesting. (Cake = darkness works for Ralsei's costume too, I guess.)

You say Kris sealing the fountains is bad, but what else are they supposed to do?

Nothing for now. If they want to go home and prevent the destruction of the world, them's the breaks. It sucks, let's just hope there's an alternative.

How can you be so sure that the Earth knew she would be dying and that the soul was summoned?

She most likely knew of the prophecy, it's ancient and was whispered among shadows, and she would have been able to sense the soul that was probably connected to her waters. I think it's a safe assumption to make.

Why doesn't Kris react to the symbols that supposedly resemble their eyes?

The cliffs area is already pretty out-of-place compared to the rest of the game, Kris having a reaction would have probably been overkill. They don't react to Ralsei taking off his hat either, for what it's worth.

"...what else could they have been involved with that might influence their decision or future?" The Bunker? Dess?

You have to understand, comprehending this theory has used up all of the brainpower that might've went to other parts of the game. I now know less about where those plotpoints might be going than the player who doesn't even know what a Dess is, so I avoided mentioning those things. I just can't figure out how they're related.

Why does the symbol on the Earth's heart appear so often in the game?

I don't know exactly. Something to do with "Its very nature is shrouded in darkness." I guess it could also be the equivalent of the globe symbol being used for logos and such, but there's still the question of how this symbol came to be known.

The theory requires too much suspension of disbelief.

I know. It's been years and no one else has come up with this kind of fanfiction. Some have gotten close, postulating that the Earth is alive or that Kris is the world, but not quite like this. Maybe it would have been better to let this go and save myself from the disappointment, but the alternative was ignoring it.

Maybe I've made a mountain out of a molehill, but it really feels like I'm onto something. If not, feel free to tell me how wrong I am!

TL;DR: Kris is somewhat similar to the Earth (who is a person) which clearly means they're meant to osmose to planethood and replace the Earth after she dies; as part of this terrible plan, the Earth put the soul inside Kris to help them use the fountains for the transformation; the DELTA()RUNE comes from or is a heart that both Kris and the Earth have.

Post-story JoR characters is always a funny concept to me (specifically the Adults for now)

Morena: *sigh* "Finn sentenced Me to another self-care day... I'm gonna go buy more croissants to comfort myself that my children don't need me as much as they used to..."

Finn: "My kids can always come home if they need, and Now Morena and I have built them one! There's so many things I want to do but I think I should do some painting first... and do a little planning. Right... Jak said he wanted to tell me something, I should fly over to see him and Rose sometime..."

Rose: "HA! YESSS! I got to head a field Experiment into rifts and their impact on the flow of magic in the biosphere as well as the humanoid body, We're finding ways to improve Healthcare with Runestones and how to provide some light mental relief from shock and traumatic experiences. There's also more extensive logs, and I'm finishing up publishing my own archive installation from our journey after my promotion to master Archivist. I was planning on inviting all the others to dinner sometime to celebrate!"

Jak: "40 DAYS SOBER AND SOMEBODY THOUGHT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO IT! HAHAHA, BITCH! The somebody was me... I didn't think I could do it... but hey! I did! I got everything done in advance, wrote out my speech, and we're going to set some of the new laws in place over the next few months, as well as weeding out the worst of the Corruption so I can get this system to actually start functioning properly... hopefully, we can install some trade negotiations with Sar and Nylix and make some better alliances as well as refining the treaty. We'll see... I'm still not sure they should have voted me as leader, but the future seems bright enough..."

A New Start

This is Part 1 of my Nam-Gyu series! There’s no smut here, but there definitely will be in the next part which i’ll write right after I upload this!

Relationship: Nam-Gyu/F!Reader

Characters: Nam-Gyu, Choi Su-Bong (Thanos), Kang Mi-Na

Tags: Drug usage, peer pressure, slight sexual talk, club setting

Summary: You start your new job at the club Pentagon and meet Nam-Gyu, who may encourage you to be a little more outgoing than you thought..

No, I didn’t proofread..

Your phone rang loudly, echoing throughout the dimness of your apartment’s bedroom. You groggily awake, hair stuck to the side of your face from the drool of your deep slumber. You struggle to grab your phone, your skinny, long fingers reaching out to grab it. You lazily go to grab it from your nightstand, but you knocked it off instead. You groan loudly as you now stretch your torso from your bed, reaching with all your might to grab it as it’s still ringing so obnoxiously. You finally press the green circle, accepting the call as you raise it to your ear, resting your back against the headboard. “Hello, this is she..” You answer before a man’s voice on the other side of the phone speaks back to you.

You were confused as to why a man was speaking, until he formed his words together and everything came together like a string cinching. “Hello, this is one of the owner’s of Club Pentagon calling to inform you of your interview in one hour for the drink runner position. You’re still available to show up for that, correct?” The deep, husky voice spoke. Your eyes widened. That was today?? How could you be so foolish, letting such an important interview slip from you. Sure, it was just a drink runner, but this could get you higher up in the club in the future. You realized you had zoned out. “Hello..? Miss?” the voice practically slapped you back into reality before you stumbled over your words. “I- um- ye- YES! Sorry-” you clap your hand over your face as if he could see you. You clear your throat. “Yes, I will be there for my interview.” you kindly spoke. “Alright, we will see you then. Please dress like our drink runners for us to get a better visualization to see if you’re fit for the position.” The male voice said before hanging up.

You were confused, but you figured it would make sense anyway.. You weren’t in the position to put out any lip about this job. You already lived in a small apartment and lived off of convenience store food. Hopefully this at least let you eat a little more lavishly. It was currently summer, so bright colors were popular in Korea currently. Perfect. The drink runners at club pentagon were commonly girls who wore a flashy uniform consisting of a cropped tank top with the club logo and a sparkly skirt with heels. Essentially, you would just be there to look pretty and deliver drinks to club members. You opened your closet, grabbing a purple shimmery mini skirt and a white halter top from your closet, pairing it with a pair of white strappy heels. After you fixed your hair and makeup, it was out you go. You sweetly waved goodbye to your cat, periwinkle.

You made your way out onto the sidewalk, deciding to just walk the 2 blocks away the club was. You lived close, it was convenient. This opportunity was far too good to turn away. Sooner than later, you were rounding the corner to the club, thinking it was unusual there was no line outside of the club. You remembered it was out of club hours before sucking in a breath nervously as you knocked on the doors. A taller man with jaw-line length hair and almond shaped black eyes pushed the door open, his eyes freezing on you for a second before he spoke. “Ah- we’re closed, ma’am.” He said promptly. You spoke before he could close the door “I’m here for an interview, actually.” You spoke as a look of realization washed down his face as he laughed to himself. “Right, right.. Follow me, i’ll be doing your interview.” He spoke as he held the door for you to follow him, and you did. The club lights were on, you’ve never seen it like this.. Empty, no music, no neon flashing lights. Huh. odd. But, it was day afterall.

The man held a door open, into one of the VIP rooms. It was nicely furnished, a leather couch, a table in the center of the couch with drink holders. A TV for karaoke or movies, even what looked to be a place for drugs.. Huh. The man motioned for you to sit on the couch, and you obeyed. You sat down, the cold leather against your ass since your skirt barely left anything to the imagination. He sat beside you as you awkwardly waited for him to begin. After a minute, he cleared his throat. “I’m Nam-Gyu, a promoter here at club pentagon. I’m just gonna ask you a couple questions, y’know, that kinda bullshit.” He said with a laugh before he noticed he got a small laugh from you. He then thought for a second. “You wanna be a drink runner? You know how ta’ carry a tray without spillin’ it all over yourself?” He asked sarcastically, which you didn’t pick up on. You slowly nodded slightly. He stared at you for a second before a laugh shoved its way out of his system and your cheeks flushed red in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, did I answer your question wrong?” you asked, confused as you tilted your head. Nam-Gyu slammed his fist on the table in laughter, which startled you before he regained composure. “No, no you didn’t. It’s just the fact you’re takin’ the position of DRINK RUNNER so serious!” He exclaimed as if this were crazy.

You stared at him with your brows knitted together before you spoke. “I thought job interviews were serious.. No matter what you’ve applied fo-” you got out before Nam-Gyu cut you off. He shook his head as he hushed you. “Look, angel face, you get paid to bring club goers their drinks while wearing a skimpy ass outfit. The only reason I brought you in for this interview was to make sure you were attractive enough for this position, which you clearly are.” He said as he looked you up and down with a bit of a smirk. You sighed in relief. “So do I have the job?” you asked, oh so innocently. It turned Nam-Gyu on a bit more than he’d like to admit. Was he only hiring you for your innocence and pretty looks? Sure! But you needed this job. Nam-Gyu nodded as he stood up. “You do in fact have the job. Thought that was obvious..” he muttered that last part and before you had a chance to bark back he kept speaking “Follow me and we’ll figure out what uniform fits you best.” He said with a wink. Wow, was he being a perv towards you?? And did you like it?? Good grief. You swallowed your pride as you got up to follow him. He brought you to a room in the back, behind the bar as he opened the door to reveal the dressing room for the drink runners. You looked at him, confused. “The drink runners have their own dressing room here so they don’t have to go in public dressed so revealing.” He said with a shrug as he sat on one of the stools and shoved a box of uniforms toward you. “Pick your size.”

You looked down at the box as you crouched down to dig through it, your hands getting covered in glitter from the skirts. You picked up a size medium in the silver skirt and a white cropped tube top with the club logo displayed on the front. You smiled at it as you now finally had a job. You turned to look back at Nam-Gyu, your long hair falling over your shoulder. “This one will do!” You said with a smile as you stood back up and grabbed your tote bag from the ground. Nam-Gyu nodded in approval. “Looks like it’ll fit.. We open in an hour or two, so if you’d like to stay here that would be fine since your hair and makeup is done appropriately.” You thought for a second on if you wanted to head home for a bit or stay here and prep.. You decided to stay so you could get a better mental map of the club. “I think i’ll stay here just to get a better feel of the club.” You responded with a slight smile as Nam-Gyu nodded. “Alright, go ahead and get changed then meet me by the bar and i’ll train you a bit.” he said, smirking and looking you up and down before he walked back out.

After you had changed into your unforgivingly short skirt and white tube top with your strappy heels, you touched up your hair and makeup with what was in the drink runner’s room before you walked back out to see Nam-Gyu spraying down the bar’s counter. He cleared his throat as he saw you, nearly choking on air. “You’ll definitely be getting good tips tonight..!” He said with a dry voice. You laughed as you were flattered. You went and stood beside him, hand on the counter as he grimaced slightly since he had just cleaned it. “So, what’s this training i’ll be doing?” you asked. He put the cleaner away before looking at you and smirking and pulling out a baggie of pills. You stared at him, confused. “You take one of these bad boys n’ serve drinks to the lovely paying customers.” He said as he put one in his mouth, then offering one to you. You hesitantly took it from his hands. “What will this do?” You asked before he scoffed. “What? These shifts can get fuckin’ stressful, you’ll see soon. Just take it. Won’t kill ya.” He said judgmentally, as if you were some prude. You sighed and decided to take a risk for once in your life. You reminded yourself how badly you needed to keep this job. You took the pill, tossing your head back to swallow it. Nam-Gyu watched you in some sick admiration as he slowly smiled. “Atta girl. Thanos is gonna be here tonight, so if you serve him, you better put on your best fuckin’ act for him. He pays this club good.. Brings in some good fuckin’ drugs too.” Nam-Gyu said as he cocked his head back to the baggie he pulled those pills from.

. . .

You were deep into your shift currently, it was 4 AM and you got off at 6 AM. You had been working since 10 PM. Nam-Gyu was right, this shit was stressful. The purple lights of the club flashed over head, making things look neon until the lights changed to a different color. Music boomed loudly over the speakers, you swore these songs would be engraved into your brain. The other drink runners stopped to greet you every now and then before running to deliver another round of shots. You were currently weaving between club goers, drink tray high in the air. You swayed your hips as you delivered them to the table, winking at the two men who ordered them. “Are you sure you two are old enough to drink?! You don’t look a day over 19!” You flirted with the two obviously older men. They laughed, and tipped you nicely. You shoved the money in your shirt before turning to go see what else you could do.

That’s when you stopped in your tracks as you watched Nam-Gyu with 2 of the club’s dancers all up on him. You scoffed as one of your fellow drink runners, Kang Mi-Na, stood by you and noticed your disbelief. “Anything anyone says to you is just for show. Especially him of all people.” She laughed before wiping white powder from under her nose and strutting away. You rolled your eyes as you figured it was just the drugs messing with her. Maybe you needed to do a line too. To get through these next 2 hours of your shift. Right as you went to walk away, Nam-Gyu yelled your name. “Hey! Y/N! Come over here! Take your break!!” he called out. Of course, you listened. You hurried over to the round booth he was sitting in with a few dancers, Thanos, and one of the other promoters. “Thanos brought some good shit. Get a line of this shit!” He said, shoving the card they used to cut lines and the baggie. You looked at it, intimidated. Thanos’ laughter rang out before he pat Nam-Gyu on the back harshly. “Thought you said the new girl would wanna do this shit!” Nam-Gyu looked at you with a demanding look in his eyes. “Yeah, she will do it.. She just needs a lil push.” He said, grinning before scooting to be beside you as he wrapped his arm around you waist, fingers digging into your side as he whispered into your ear. “Take the fuckin’ line and be a good girl f’me. Kay?” He said before he pulled away, leaning back. You nodded before getting on your knees in front of the table, rolling the dollar up then cutting your lines. You glanced back at Nam-Gyu, who was watching you with a grin. Like it was a show. You really weren’t doing this against your will.. Your shift was lowkey stressing you. You shut your eyes before sniffing the line quickly. Your nostril burned. It burned like hell as your eyes watered. You sat back beside nam-gyu, holding your nose as you rocked back and forth. He pulled you into his lap, in his high state. “Poor girl.. That was your second drug today, huh? Look at you, all your innocence is gonna be gone before you know it!” He exclaimed with a laugh.

He was definitely right. You wanted to be more outgoing.. And he encouraged it a bit too much maybe. Two hours went by, sitting in the round booth with Nam-Gyu and Thanos. Your shift ended early since you received your tip goal for the night. You eventually perked up from the fat line they pressured you to do. You ended up doing a few more that night, Nam-Gyu patting you roughly on the back each time. Soon, though, the night had to come to an end as 6 AM hit. Thanos was gone, and so were all the club goers. Clean up time was over.

You stood in the dressing room once more, changing back into what you arrived in, which wasn’t much different than your uniform. You noticed your makeup smudged and your hair a hot mess. You groaned, your body hurting from all the walking in those heels and whatever the hell you did during your cocaine high. You trudged out from the dressing room with your bag lazily slung over your shoulder as you collected your tips and clocked out. “Hey! You handled that shift like a fuckin’ champ tonight! You’ll fit right in just fine at the pentagon.” Nam-Gyu called out to you. You gave him a weak smile as you nodded. “I’m headed home.. Not used to being up this late.. Or early.. Whatever.” You spoke tiredly as you pushed the door to the club open, the sun just beginning to rise. You inhaled the nice, fresh air into your nostrils. It was a nice change from the thick atmosphere of the club. You began your walk home, thinking how nice a nap would feel. Nam-Gyu locked the club doors as he was leaving before he ran to catch up with you.

You gave him an odd look, raising an eyebrow. “May I help you? Gonna make me do another line?” you asked, sarcastically with a roll of your eyes. Nam-Gyu, however, found that hilarious. He laughed hard. “You gotta get used to that shit.. My apartment is this way. Not trying to follow you.. But if you would like, you could come over for a few hours and i’ll make kimchi jjigae with bulgogi and rice on the side.. I’ve been told i’m a good cook.” He offered, but since he was a higher up than you, and older than you, you kinda had to accept. You sighed softly before agreeing. “Alright.. Just for a few hours though. My cat is probably getting very lonely without me.” You said with a small laugh, remembering how you hadn’t had a job for a few months now. Nam-Gyu knew you couldn’t decline his offer since after all, he was higher up than you. It pleased him to know you didn’t try to fight against his offer. It’s not like he would’ve taken no for an answer.

Nam-Gyu was attracted to your angelic, cherub like face and your innocent demeanor he seemed to be ripping from you ever so slightly. Did he want a relationship with you? No. He purely just wanted to strip you of your pure little thoughts and turn you into someone like himself, whereas you thought he just wanted a friendship. Nam-Gyu watched you walking beside him, a glint in his eye like he had an idea. You carried yourself nicely, like any sweetheart would. Your hair was shiny and full, even after all the hairspray breaks you had taken during your shift. Nam-Gyu truly thought you were as pure as an angel. The way you looked over at him while you spoke, gazing through your thick, long eyelashes. It drove him crazy! Soon enough, you two arrived at his apartment… which happened to be one floor below yours. Great. You thought Nam-Gyu was nice.. But you felt a layer of suspicion to him as well. You watched his ringed fingers jumble with his keys as he inserted the house key into his lock, twisting and opening the door.

Here we see Max, though he is hard to recognize under all that gear. Max had made the foolish mistake of not zipping his coveralls all the way when his Master caught him cleaning up cow stalls. As punishment, his uniform was altered. Max now had to dress in this bright yellow rain coveralls with the hood pulled up at all times. Work boots were a must, as was the gas mask to discourage dissent and speech. The latex gloves were another addition by the Master to further control every last inch of the young's man body. Max had to learn that his body was a tool meant only for work. He was to wear his uniform every minute of every day for the next month. Hopefully Max will learn his lesson and wear his uniform more diligently in the future. How lucky we all are to have Master's who want us working and looking our best. I know I will wear my coveralls with pride, and I hope Max will as well!

Chapter One | Chapter Two | Chapter Three

Branch spends the next few days trying his best to enjoy what time he has left. He stomps down the bitter sting every time his brothers get together to talk about the future and tries to bask in the little moments they allow him. Branch makes breakfast for Bruce and tries to wriggle a recipe out of him that he can cherish during the gray days. He spends an evening with Clay talking about novels and getting as many recommendations as he can so he can know what kind of books his brother likes. He even lets John Dory pick at a few of his projects so they can bond over their shared handiness born from their survivalist pasts. Branch has never gotten to know much about his brothers, he was so young when they left he can barely remember any of the little details, so he clings to everything now. Clay's ears flick when he's irritated over something insignificant, like a bent page in his book or the uneven amount of pencils at Branch's workspace. John Dory sleeps with that stupid glove on, and he cleans off his goggles every night because the routine helps him relax. Floyd hums rock songs in the shower even though he doesn't like the lyrics because he loves the melody. Bruce isn't a huge fan of seafood after so many years serving it back in his restaurant on Vacay Island but he loves Country Troll cuisine.

Branch gathers every little detail he can and he tucks it away because he knows that soon enough these few fleeting memories will be all that he has left to hold on to. Soon enough they'll be on their way and he'll be alone with only their ghosts to haunt him. He thought that he was finally done grieving. He thought that maybe he was finally ready to let go of the family that didn't want him. Now he can already feel their absence like a gaping wound even though they're still here sitting in the next room over.

Today is the day. Branch takes a fortifying breath and brushes nonexistent dust off his vest before slipping out of the kitchen to go gather up his brothers from the living space around the corner. He plasters a smile on his face as he steps through the entryway, leaning up against the arching entrance like nothing could possibly be wrong. John Dory has Clay tucked under his arm and is violently ruffling the younger troll's bright green hair. Bruce is cackling, nearly doubled over, and even Floyd is hiding a few loose chuckles behind his paw. Clay's hair admittedly doesn't look any different than it did before but that doesn't stop him from spewing protests.

"Are you guys done yet or should I give you some more time?" Branch teases, raising an unimpressed eyebrow that's betrayed by the amused smile spreading across his face.

John pauses his assault to look over at Branch and his grip seems to have loosened just enough for Clay to make his hasty escape. "I guess we can cut this short," John Dory shrugs, smirking while Clay grumbles and Bruce wipes tears from his eyes. John looks proud, smug in a way that Branch thinks only an oldest brother could be. His heart aches wondering if this is the last time he'll see that expression and he struggles to keep his smile in place.

"I'm sure the balloon is already set up so we better get this over with." Branch pushes off the entryway and tucks his hands deep into his trouser pockets in a hopefully subtle attempt to hide how they've started to shake. Bruce's laugh is still ringing in his ears and he can't help but ask himself if he'll be able to remember it so distinctly a year from now. He swallows thickly, eyes flicking from sibling to sibling and drinking in the easy smiles on their faces. They look so happy right now, joking and laughing and roughhousing like brothers are supposed to. Branch feels so out of place. Do they even care that they're leaving him behind all over again? Have they even noticed that they're ripping his heart to bits and stealing away the tattered pieces so he could never hope to be whole again without them? Do they think he's being childish because he's so heartbroken over something inevitable?

"I guess you're right," John Dory agrees, stretching out and popping his back. John throws Branch an easy smile and motions for the rest of their brothers to gather up so they can head out. Clay rolls his eyes and helps Floyd up from the armchair while Bruce stands from the couch. This is it. This is really it. Branch's heart flutters pathetically beneath his ribs and dread thrums through his veins. He wasn't ready to say goodbye. Not again. This wasn't enough time. He wanted more time. "Lead the way, little brother."

Branch is helpless to do anything else but swallow down the vile, bubbling emotions climbing up his throat and walk them out of the bunker towards the clearing Poppy arranged for their departure.

The pit in Branch's stomach only grows with each step and he listens with mounting irritation as his brothers chatter excitedly behind him. They're all excited to get back to their lives and Branch wishes he could begrudge them that. He wants so badly to be angry but he can't. They deserve to go back to their lives, their homes, their families. He doesn't want them to be miserable, he just wishes that he could be part of their happiness. He's well acquainted with loving others more than he's loved but the hurt never quite fades.

"Hey, Branch, you're quiet up there." Bruce calls and Branch looks over his shoulder curiously. Bruce smiles back teasingly, his eyes shining with bright mirth that Branch doesn't think the situation warrants, "Got something on your mind?"

"Or someone," Floyd joins in with a playful wiggle of his eyebrows that makes Clay cough a poorly concealed laugh.

Branch frowns, eyebrows furrowing, "What?"

"Poppy's going to be there, right?" Bruce asks like it's obvious and the pieces slot into place. They thought he was distracted because Poppy was going to be there to see them off?

"Oh. Not really," Branch shrugs. He turns back around when he sees their expressions shift, smiles dropping while they share confused glances. Branch figured it would be obvious why he was so quiet but maybe that was a bit presumptuous of him. He's been eagerly spending as much time with them as he could these past few weeks despite how obvious they were about their plans to exclude him. He guesses his silence now could be seen as a little odd, all things considered.

They don't say anything else for the rest of the trip. At least not to Branch. He hears them muttering but he doesn't try to listen in or even turn his head to look back again. He does his best to keep his eyes straight ahead and tune them out. Before he knows it he can see the large burgundy body of the hot air balloon growing steadily larger in the distance and the dread burrowed in his gut spikes. This is it.

John Dory lets out an impressed whistle, "It's bigger than I expected," he admits but he sounds excited about it. It hadn't even occurred to Branch that his brothers wouldn't really be familiar with traditional Pop Troll transportation anymore. Branch offers a noncommittal hum and scans the area around the balloon's basket for a splash of pink. He spots her quickly and some of the hurt in his chest dissipates. He can breathe a little easier knowing that she's here.

It's only a few moments before Poppy notices them, Viva a bundle of energy at her side. Pink eyes find them from across the clearing and a smile breaks out across Poppy's face like the sun after a rainstorm. She bounces on the balls of her feet and waves excitedly, calling a loud hello instead of waiting the thirty seconds it would take for them to reach her. Branch can't help but chuckle, shaking his fondly with a roll of his eyes while John and Bruce yell back their own greetings. Viva rushes over at top speed, twirling around Clay before falling into step beside him like it was second nature. She's rambling excitedly about something that Branch doesn't have the energy to try and follow but Clay is smiling brightly and nodding along.

"Hey," Poppy greets him softly, sliding up to him and gently grasping the front of his vest so she could pull him in for a swift kiss. Her eyes scan over his face and a frown tugs at her lips, "Are you okay?" She whispers, ducking in close for some semblance of privacy.

Branch tries to offer a reassuring smile but it feels bittersweet and tired, "As good as I can be," he sighs, lifting a hand to rest it softly over hers, "Better with you here." He confesses and bumps their foreheads together. She smiles, though the worried furrow between her brows remains. Branch wants nothing more than to smooth out the creases, chase away the concern she's wasting on him, but he knows that there's nothing he can do to convince her that he's fine. She wouldn't believe him even if there was.

She presses another quick kiss to his cheek before pulling away to properly greet his brothers, sharing a few warm hellos, "So, is everyone all set?" She looks between them, hands on her hips, like she expects them to have luggage despite the fact that they arrived empty-handed. She doesn't wait for a response before she turns on her heel and gestures to the small grassy hill next to the balloon that would give them easy access, "You guys should have plenty of room and there's a bunch of blankets if it gets cold, I also packed a lot of snacks just in case you got hungry. Oh! And there are some games--" "Okay, okay, sounds great Poppyseed," John interrupts, eyes wide when he realizes that Poppy had no intention of stopping her ramblings. He raises his hands in an attempt to slow her down, "What about a manual?" He presses curiously, the shock bleeding away to a fond amusement that made Branch's heart pang.

"Here," Branch reaches up into his hair and pulls out the pilot's manual. He refused to give it back after Poppy'd thrown it out just a few months ago. It's been haunting him these past few days but he hadn't dared to forget it on the way out of the bunker. He steps forward and passes the thick volume to John Dory, trying not to look at his brother's grateful smile, "It's pretty extensive but you only really need to read the first and the fifth chapter for a quick trip." He clears his throat awkwardly, trying to keep up a lighthearted attitude

"I'll take that," Clay reaches over and plucks the book from John Dory's hands with ease, grinning as he completely ignores John's protests. Viva giggles by Clay's side and even leans in to get a better look at the manual while Clay flips through it to see the table of contents. Branch watches the two self-proclaimed Putt Putt Trolls and hopes that maybe Clay will come along when Viva inevitably decides to visit. Branch has come to really enjoy having another level-headed, fact-oriented troll around and one brother would be better than none. If he's lucky, which he can admit isn't likely, maybe Clay will even keep him updated on their other siblings.

"So this thing is all ready to go?" Bruce looks up at the large balloon, admiring the structure with muted curiosity. He doesn't look too interested but rather intrigued by something unfamiliar.

"Yep!" Poppy chirps, bouncing over to stand back and look with Bruce despite being well-acquainted with Pop Troll travel methods. She's already flown out to visit each of the other Kingdoms at least once since the end of the Rockapocalypse. "All the prep work was finished last night so all you need to do now is climb aboard." She explains with a curt nod, clearly proud of herself and her work.

"Well!" John Dory claps his hands together drawing everyone's attention back to him, "Sounds like that's that then, let's get this show on the road, huh?"

"We shouldn't drag this out any longer," Floyd agrees with a sad smile and a small nod. John moves first, stepping forward to ruffle Branch's hair before walking over to climb up the incline. He vaults over the lip of the basket easily and quickly begins looking around. Floyd follows after him, shuffling forward with a clear exhaustion weighing down his limbs. He walks right past Branch without even glancing back, hiking up the hill and accepting John Dory's help into the basket with whispered thanks. Branch swallows convulsively, trying to push down the lump growing in his throat. Did Floyd not even want to say goodbye?

A hand lands lightly on his shoulder and Branch turns around only to be wrapped up in Bruce's arms. Instinctively Branch hugs back, squeezing tightly and nuzzling into Bruce's comforting hold. Bruce's arms envelop him in a warm, secure embrace and Branch mourns the fact that he'll likely never get to feel safe in his brother's arms again. "It was really nice seeing you again," Bruce murmurs into Branch's hair with a soft sniffle.

Branch's own eyes burn but he forces out a small laugh, "Yeah, you too, man." He doesn't think he'll ever forget the joy he felt when Bruce first told them that he was a father. He was terrified and elated at the idea of being an uncle. Bruce pulls back and wipes his eyes, a bright and happy smile on his face before he, too, leaves. It's getting harder and harder for Branch to keep his expression neutral and he finds himself desperately wishing for Clay and Viva to make their leave before he starts to break again.

Clay, thankfully, steps in and pulls Branch into a side hug with the manual tucked neatly under his other arm. Viva detaches to go say her own farewells to Poppy and Branch is pitifully grateful for the modicum of privacy. Clay presses their temples together with a lop-sided grin, "Take care of yourself, okay?" He extracts himself quickly but also reaches out to ruffle Branch's hair like John Dory had and Branch doesn't even try to push him away.

"Yeah, you too." Branch tries to smile back but his world is starting to feel dark and desaturated again. He wonders if Poppy would notice. She insists that she can see his hues shift with his mood even when Branch himself couldn't tell. He wonders if she can see the color draining out of him the way it feels like it should be. Watching Clay turn away and stride confidently over to the balloon stirs something deep and anguished in Branch's chest and he stomps down the urge to reach out and ask them to come back. It was too familiar watching them leave and being powerless to make them stay.

Viva and Poppy wrap up their own muted conversation and share a tight hug before Viva rushes off after Clay. They climb into the basket together, talking excitedly about something or another, and it makes Branch's stomach churn seeing them all so content while his world crashes down around him again. He realizes with sudden and startling clarity that he has to say goodbye. He can't let them leave this time without saying something.

He scrambles forward before Poppy can make her way back to his side and looks up into the basket with wild eyes. Floyd spots him first and his merry expression drops immediately but Branch speaks before Floyd gets a chance to question him. "I know it probably doesn't mean much," Branch starts hesitantly and has to take a calming breath when his brothers' attention shifts unwaveringly to him. "But I'm going to miss you guys." John shares a confused look with Bruce and Clay while Floyd's frown only becomes more pronounced. Floyd moves back towards the edge of the basket with a shake of his head.

"What do you mean? Of course it means something," Floyd assures softly, leaning over the rim to better meet Branch's eyes. Floyd's scanning him over and it makes Branch feel exposed.

Branch tries to laugh it off, rubbing the back of his neck nervously, "I guess I wanted to make sure that you knew this time." He cringes the second the words leave his mouth, "That came out wrong--" He immediately tries to backtrack before he ruins any chance he has at ever seeing any of his brothers ever again.

"Back up," John Dory cuts in, appearing at Floyd's side, "Why is this starting to sound like goodbye?"

Branch freezes, dumbfounded, and blinks up at them. His anxiety is drowned out quickly by his confusion, "..isn't it?" He asks only to be met with two startled faces. Branch cranes his neck to look at Bruce and Clay so he can see if they're as confused as he is but they look just as upset as John and Floyd do.

"Hey, Viv, maybe we should give them a second." Poppy chimes in from somewhere behind him and he watches distractedly as Viva climbs back out of the balloon and walks off somewhere with her sister. He's sure he'll be grateful to Poppy for this later but right now he's just trying to get his thoughts sorted. Why were they so shocked? Did his brothers really think that he was that oblivious? He wasn't blind, it was easy to see that they were keeping him away from their important conversations.

John Dory hops over the rim of the basket and lands neatly in front of Branch, "Why in the world would this be goodbye?" He asks urgently. There's something desperate in his eyes that Branch can't quite discern but he doesn't understand why they're the ones making such a fuss about this. He was the one who had a right to be upset but he was trying to let them go.

Branch tilts his head and scoffs, sparing a glance at the hill where Bruce is carefully helping Floyd back out of the balloon before turning his attention back to John, "Aren't you guys leaving?" He raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms to keep himself from fidgeting with the hem of his vest. John Dory gestures to him frantically, making an exaggerated noise of disbelief before turning to the others like they could possibly help him.

"Yeah, for now," Clay looks at Branch like he's grown a second head and it was really starting to piss him off. What right did they have to be so flabbergasted? They were the ones who made plans to ditch him, not the other way around. This wasn't his plan.

"Where in the world did you get the idea that we weren't coming back?" Bruce adds on, asking the question that was apparently on all of their minds as he lowers himself down from the edge of the hill to drop down beside John.

"It's not like you've been subtle," Branch snarls, taking a sick pleasure in how his brothers jump away from the sudden tone shift. Good. If they wanted to play dumb they deserve to face the consequences. "You've been here for almost two weeks and every time I happen to walk into the room the conversation dies. A few days ago you were talking about just how much room Vacay Island and the Golf Course have for everyone without even a single mention of Pop Village. Are you kidding me! Why the hell would I think you were staying?" Recognition is blooming across Floyd's face and he can see the realization dawning for Clay like it was happening in slow motion. The green-haired troll's eyes widen just a fraction and his mouth drops open into a soft oh and it'd be funny if it wasn't because Branch had known all along that they were planning to abandon him again. He was so tired of being thrown away like he was nothing and they had the audacity to think he was too stupid to catch on? Maybe Poppy was right and he should just cut his losses and accept that they didn't want him in their lives. He was better off without them anyway.

"You got it all wrong!" John reaches out and places his gloved hand firmly on Branch's shoulder but Branch jerks back with a growl. There wasn't any guilt on their faces but instead a soft, bitter understanding that was starting to make Branch feel cornered. He was getting real sick of being left out of the loop.

"Branch, please, just let us explain," Floyd implores. Branch huffs, glaring, but some of the tension falls away at his brother's plea. Floyd looks at him with desperate lilac eyes that are starting to fill with rising guilt and Branch loathes to see his kind-hearted sibling so hurt. He doesn't want to cave, he wants them to deal with how they've hurt him and feel the weight of their actions, but it's Floyd who's asking and that's enough to break his resolve. Branch waves a hand with a sharp exhale, silently urging them to continue before he changes his mind.

His brothers sag with visible relief and John Dory quickly scrambles to take the reigns once more. "We thought you were uncomfortable," he tries to explain and his face his twisted apologetically with such genuine regret that Branch wants to believe him. "Whenever we started talking about our plans for after we went home you'd start to get all fidgety or you'd just kind of…"

"Leave," Bruce finishes off. John Dory's eyes flick back to Bruce before nodding.

"We thought that you didn't want to talk about it, which feels really stupid in hindsight." Clay admits with a disappointed sigh. Like he's realizing he should have known better but he'd been so caught up in the moment that it hadn't even occurred to him.

Branch can only stare at them in disbelief, waiting for one of them to laugh and tell him this was some sort of stupid joke. "Are you serious?" He seethes, paws closing into tight fists that shake at his sides. "The first few days you guys only talked about how eager you were to go home," Branch had been a bit flighty at first and, in the beginning, his heart would jump into his throat every time they started talking about how excited they were to go back to their lives. He was scared. Scared to lose them, scared that despite everything they just went through for each other it still wasn't enough to hold them together, and he didn't want to ruin their happiness with his own catastrophizing. "You laughed in my face when you thought I wanted us to be in each other's lives and you think I'm jumping to conclusions thinking that this is the last time I'm going to see you?"

Floyd looks horrified. Branch realizes that there's a decent chance that Floyd didn't know about that part. "Branch, I'm moving to Pop Village." Floyd says in lieu of any empty comforts he could've offered. What's done is done, they couldn't take it back.

"What?" Branch breathes, hesitant joy bubbling up and peeking through the anger still burning bright in his stomach.

Floyd smiles and it's bright and contagious, drawing similar expressions from their brothers, "I wanted it to be a surprise but after everything I really don't want to go back to Mount Rageous. I still need to talk the details over with Poppy but I wanted to move here to be closer to other trolls again. To be closer to you." Floyd looks like he wants to close the distance between them and Branch is glad that he doesn't. There's a tentative trust being built but Branch is still wired from the roller coaster this conversation has become and he's sure that one wrong move will send him tumbling.

"I'm coming back with him to pick up Rhonda but I plan to stop by often now that I know where this place is," John Dory gestures back the way they came towards Pop Village. It's plausible, it's all plausible, but Branch is still hesitant to believe them. He doesn't know what he'd do if all these reassurances were empty and meaningless.

Bruce steps forward slowly, raising his hands in surrender when Branch takes a hasty step back. His face is soft and open when he speaks, "I'm sorry we weren't really thinking, Branch. And we never should have implied that we didn't want to be a family again. We were frustrated and angry and tensions were high but adding everything up it's not too hard to see how you came to these conclusions," Branch wonders if this is what a dad voice is. He never met his father and he never really had the kind of friends that would introduce him to their parents. He imagines that this is what Bruce sounds like when he soothes his kids and tells them that everything is going to be alright and that makes something small and broken buried under his ribs yearn. "We want you to visit too, B. I want you to come to Vacay Island and meet your nephews and niece." "And I'd love to show you around the Golf Course!" Clay chimes in brightly, eyes shining with unshed tears that contrast with the fond smile on his face.

"Have you seen your bunker? You'd be amazing at camping." John Dory agrees warmly.

"We just got you back," Floyd murmurs but it's loud in their close proximity. "I don't think any of us want to say goodbye."

Branch feels the last of his protective anger drain out of him and sucks in a shaky breath. He smiles, uncertain and thin, but it seems to be enough to reassure his brothers. "Okay."

"We're really sorry, Branch," Clay insists, blinking away the wetness in his eyes and staring over at his youngest brother with blatant worry, "We really just weren't thinking, man. We never wanted to exclude you or make you feel like this was it."

"It's okay, really, I have a bad habit of overthinking this kind of thing," Branch sniffs, trying to be casual despite how his heart was still racing. He was already upset that he'd accidentally made a big deal out of nothing but it was admittedly nice to be reassured so sincerely. It soothed his frayed nerves in a way that was strange but welcome.

"It's not," Floyd disagrees quickly and Branch startles, "It's not, not really, but we'll have time to make up for it, okay?" And isn't that everything that Branch ever wanted? He'd wanted more time and miraculously they're giving it to him. Maybe this isn't the end, maybe it wasn't time for goodbyes after all. His heart starts to calm and a fragile hope begins to bloom where the anxiety was nestled under his sternum.

"Yeah," Branch nods, his smile shifting into something lighter, "I'd like that."

John reaches forward and snags Branch by the wrist, tugging him forward before Branch could even think to ask what was going on. John Dory's arms wrap around him in a bone-crushing hug, "I'll be back, got it?" He says firmly into Branch's hair. Branch nods into John Dory's shoulder, arms raised with shocked uncertainty. He gives in after a few beats and hugs his brother back as tightly as he can.

Branch lets the hug linger, grasping tightly to the leather of John Dory's vest until the contact starts to make his skin itch. He detaches himself stiffly, shaking out his arms with an awkward chuckle, "You guys really should get going, though. You're burning daylight." It still hurts to see them go but it feels different than it had before.

"That's probably for the best, huh?" Floyd agrees, reaching out a hand to Clay in a silent request for help that the older troll quickly jumps to oblige.

Branch uses the time it takes his brothers to hoist themselves back into the basket to compose himself. These past few weeks have been incredibly jarring and he thinks that he's seen enough of his emotions for the next few months but… it's also been surprisingly rewarding. He turns to scan the treeline hoping to spot a flash of pink but he doesn't even have to go looking before Poppy and Viva pop into view already making their way back over. They had to of been watching from a distance but Branch is confident that Poppy would have dragged them far enough away that they couldn't have overhead anything so he's not worried.

Viva bounds back over to the balloon and practically tackles Clay in her dash over to him. They immediately start talking quietly and this time Branch can admire their dynamic without any clouds of resentment hanging over him.

"You got this thing figured out?" Branch asks. "Totally. No need to worry," Clay assures, raising the manual and wiggling it for emphasis. Branch is glad that there's someone on that thing who'll actually read the instructions.

"I'll see you around, then, I guess." Branch smiles.

"Soon," Bruce promises.

With that they cut the ropes holding the balloon down and start the ascent into the open air. Branch and Poppy wave with vastly different levels of energy and their siblings wave back. There's no pit in Branch's stomach as he watches them get further and further away and no crushing sorrow when they say their goodbyes. It's not goodbye this time, not really, it's see you later. That makes him feel lighter than he has in days.

"You're looking blue," Poppy admires at his side, slotting her paw into his like it's meant to be there. You're looking happy, she means.

"I am." He admits quietly and is surprised to find that he means it.

Hey! What are you?

Seelie!Reader Honkai Star Rail

You remember being in your bed having a having a strange dream. You were in a void floating, nothing weighing you down.

Safe and warm... Nothing could hurt you here.

You feel like you could be here for forever.

Wake up.

Hmmn..

Wake up.

Just a few more minutes..

WAKE UP.

You open your eyes, blinded by the bright lights. You're on the floor, you look around and two figures and... Another half-way re-materializing?

What?

You look around frantically noticing that the technology is much more advanced then where your from, and then you notice your much more shorter than before and...

You no long have arms.

Huh.

Nor legs.

Huh.

You can float now.

Huh.

You're now a floating blob.

HUH!?

You squeak loudly, the two finally noticing you or we're they just ignoring you for their conversation with the silver headed person? Who knows.

"Ah, seems like our small friend is awake." A voice rang out.

You look at the pretty lady. You're eyes? Are now wide open in alarm.

Wait... She looks familiar. You're sure seen her from somewhere... But where?

Wait.

No it can't be...

Don't tell me...

That's.

Kafka.

"Sadly, we must leave now... Shame I couldn't have a small chat with you." She said.

"Hmm, maybe next time." Her voice rang out.

Before you can make another noise they leave. Leaving with only you and... The now unconscious person on the ground.

Oh no.

Lmao hope you guys enjoyed this. I plan to make more parts but that might take a while.

Sorry for my hiatus on writing I just had writers and art block and I keep procrastinating, I've just been busy doing cosplay and stuff. So hopefully this is ok for you guys.

To be honest I might tweak this in the future who knows. But I plan to make this yandere but I'm leaning more on platonic than romantic though.

Hopefully I write more since it genuinely is fun to write lil blurbos.

A Guardian Angel and a Saint? Naw… not anymore

To be a Hero PT1 PT2 PT3 PT4 PT5 PT6 PT8 PT9 PT 10

Talk of killing and torture methods, suicide mentioned, The two are insane and Izuku is OOC but all in good love... in their own way) angsty

That caught Kurogiri's attention… Such a shy, innocent, quirkless boy… insane? “Bullied from a young age, pride hurt after all these years that his girlfriend is his guard dog… he wants to be the provider, the protector for once… and he knows his best chances are through you” She chuckled, “though you won’t see him kill much… Naw, torturing is more his style”

(Lets continue)

Kurogiri listened intently to her words, he had a feeling these two were much darker than they led on but to hear such a thing... "I see, so he derives pleasure from causing pain... and you... you bring release for the person through death. What a horrific balance but yet so perfect" He hummed, staring at the girl with a rather fearful look...' How on earth did they get away with it"

"Yes, but no one knows of what we did!" She hummed, staring back at him. "We've done it twice, and having dark magic makes clean up really easy" Reaching for the glass again, Y/n ran her fingers all over it. Kurogiri watched, taking a slight step back as the glass began to shake, cracks lining the edge before it completely shattered. However, the pieces of glass never moved, frozen within a ball of purple and blue hues.

"Your magic?" He questioned, moving closer once again, staring in amazement as the shards looked as if they were stars that lined the galaxy. "Incredible, must have been easy to get into U.A. uh?" He suddenly felt...sorrow, guilt... He had taken these young adults away from a bright future...

"Yeah, but in all honestly... I only followed for Izuku... Never found a good family amounts heroes" She lifted her hands, before moving her hands closer to each other causing the glass to shatter within the bubble. "They find my ability horrifying, but you guys... We have a family now! More people to protect and have our backs" Her bright smile practically blinded him.

'A bright future indeed' He chucked softly, a small warmth taking over him. "Indeed, a dysfunctional family. I feel you will have a good impact on Shigiraki... hopefully display a true sisterly role to him" He glanced over where the ash-blue man sat, leaning forward as if that would help him see better.

"You love him huh?" Y/N questioned, glancing at her boyfriend and Shigiraki...Kurogiris's eyes widened slightly at her unexpected question. He stammered for a moment before recomposing himself to maintain his stoic demeanor.

"Love... Is a strong word," His voice was tainted with defensiveness. "He's a valuable asset to my master... and he trusts me" He spoke... completely contradicting his words about family earlier.

"naw... you see him as your son" she murmured, releasing the seal she had over the powdered glass and allowing it to fall onto the surface of the counter. "Hey! hook up an extra controller I want in!" She hummed, hopping off the stool, and made her way over to the couch, leaving Kurogiri there with the mess of both the glass and his thoughts.

"Peculiar girl" Kurogiri hummed, eyes fixated on how easily she settled herself between the two boys.

"Welcome home love" She giggles, knocking her shoulder against Izukus, causing him to huff softly and lean into her.

"It's good to be home" He hummed, kissing her forehead before refocusing on the screen.

"oi! Before we start the next game, it's important to mention something" Shigiraki paused the game, taking the attention of both, "about a month from now... U.A's gonna go on a little field trip... and we're gonna chaperone it" He watched as their playful moods shifted into hard looks, and nods of understanding. "we're betting on the number one being there... a little test zone to say the least" He hummed, moving to scratch at his neck. "If we kill him fantastic!, but if not... we won't be risking much" The two nodded, a slight giddy feeling taking over Y/n as he continued to speak of the plan.

"AH, we should get outfits! I don't wanna fight a bunch of people in just jeans and a t-shirt" and she began to ramble, potential colors, code names, masks, everything she could think of that would make them look truly villainous. And of course... her lovely boyfriend was already taking notes on what she wanted and the materials she'd need to make these outfits.

"Yeah.... great idea but WHERE THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT TO GET THIS FROM" Her words annoyed the man, yes... he wanted all this. Wanted to look like a badass video game character... but how exactly was she planning on accomplishing this.

"Duh, I'll make them! We can go and gather materials!" She hummed, before turning to Izuku, listing a couple other things. To say the two villains were shocked... was an understatement. She had every intention to design, make, and sew them gear and costumes... "I'm taking over a room for crafts" she spoke quickly giving a heads-up before returning her attention to Zuku, who was ferociously writing.

"Right..." Both sweats dropped at her demand... not a question... a statement.

(minny time skip)

After taking quick measurements and kicking both Izuku and Shigiraki's asses in Mario's cart, the two love birds decided to head to bed... As both showed, dressed and now lay snugly under the covers, Izuku couldn't help but chuckle at their situation. "I'm... really thankful you're here with me... I don't know where I'd be without you" He pulled her closer, allowing her body to fit perfectly against his.

"You'd be in a grave my love" she hummed, running a hand up and down his back, breath hitching whenever her fingers ran over a burn scar.... 'I'll kill him' Her brain hated Bakugo... wanted him bleeding out and to save his head as a mantelpiece.

"You're right... if you were not there to catch me that day... I'd be dead" He allowed his mind to trail back to that event... the one that pushed him to the edge of the building... to taking the final leap that others had him teetering on. (flashback)

"Quirkless people can't become heroes... you better off risking your life as an officer... might make you living more wild" The number one stood tall, looking at the meek boy who knelt before him, tears streaming down his freckled face... begging for some type of recognition. "Sorry kid... but if you wanna be a hero... better off waiting for the next life" and with that... the man leaped, into the sky, villain within a bottle, leaving a heartbroken kid... stuck atop a roof... with no one around.

'Another life... another life...' the thoughts ran rapidly through his brain. How many people had told him that... why would no one believe him. Was being quirkless... did it truly make you a waste of space. Curling into himself, hands gripping his crazed hair... the boy sobbed, tears dripping onto the floor more frequently than before. His voice caught in his throat as he tried to process the words over and over again. His best friend... turned bully "Just jump off a roof and pray you're born with a quirk in the next life"... his idel... "Sorry kids... better off waiting for the next life"... every single one of his classmates.. "haha Deku!" "What a loser" "Quirkless!!" "How pathetic... still trying to play hero?" Why... why were they like this.... why would no one let him dream?! Shaking his head, trying to force the thoughts away... not even realizing his body was moving on its own... so desperate for a chance, a quirk... that it did the only thing he could think of...the only thing he was constantly told.

His red shoes screeched from his fast steps... the wind hitting his face as the ledge came closer... and his feet refused to stop... so he took the leap off the rooftop... and prayed for a better chance in the next life... just like he had been told so many times in this one. The wild caused his hair to move wildly... no one was in sight as he plummeted... yet everything fell in slow motions around him. The sky was clearer for some reason... the wind was crisp and refreshing... the glass on the building reflected his body completely... his tear-stained face staring back at him. He looked like a fallen angel... one's who's wings had been clipped, and was forced to fall rather than sore. "I'LL BE A PRO... in the next life," he spoke to no one but himself, closing his eyes, feeling the ground approaching... waiting for the end... no no no... his new beginning... right?! Surely no one would miss him! Not his mother who... who would sit by the door waiting for a man that would never return... just like she had done when she heard the news of her husband...

'Mom...' and suddenly the world came a little clearer.... no, this wasn't what he wanted for her.... she was supportive of him! H-how could he think of doing something so... selfish but yet.... he didn't want to stop the fall. "I'm sorry Mom... but it's better this way" eyes now shut tight, his so-called worthless life flashing before his eyelids... never a girlfriend... not a single friend since 1st grade... no first kiss... no more anything...just closer.

"Uh... I think you dropped something" A voice...a female voice, soft, but stern... suddenly he realized it was directed at him... the wind had stopped, the free fall feeling leaving entirely, prying open his eyes, he was looking directly at the ground... but it wasn't approaching any closer... maintaining its distance... inches in front of his face. Looking up he was met with a goddess, her hand outstretched, producing his sort of mist of blue and purple... her face framed with y/h/c locks and big beautiful eyes... and... a school uniform... one that matched his exactly... stunned, he said no words... just watched as she smiled softly, a relief look on her face... "I'm Y/N... nice to catch ya!" with a head tilt and an even brighter smile... Izuku realized he had found his new beginning.

"h-hi"

(end flashback) Izuku was so lost in the past he hadn't realized he was shedding tears, pulling her body impossibly closer to him. Flinching slightly, when a soft kiss was pressed to his bare chest, "He will pay" Her words were vague but he understood completely... who, why, how... with a soft hum, she allowed sleep to consume her.

Izuku watched as Y/n fell asleep, peacefully in his arms. Her breathing became soft and steady, savoring the soft feeling of her body against his. Closing his own eyes, allowing her scent to fill him, carrying him right behind her into dreamland.

(GOD EXAMS NEVER END!!!! uGHH, anyways.... HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ANYONE THAT CELEBRATES IT, was in the feelings today and ugh!!! had to write some of their first meetings... anyways HAVE A GREAT DAY AND REMEMBER TO EAT, DRINK, AND LOVE YOURSELF BYEEEEEE LOVE YOU ALL) P.s I'm debating on adding a little side chapter... some lovey-dovey crap if ya catch my drift! Let me know in the comments and I'll try to deliver... okay byeee for reals this time!!!!!!!! !! ! ! !!
