#he knows he doesn't just “give up” from a challenge

[captainpriceslilwife]

pt. 2 of the well-loved gaz x insecure!reader post!! (This is kind of a bridge to pt. 3, so bear with me PLEASE! I have more ideas for the next part, but I needed to get there first lol...hopefully this is good idk im nervous abt my newfound audience)

The rest of his night passed in a daze. He couldn’t stop stealing glances at the tiny little picture on your license while Johnny and Simon argued with each other about what he should do to try to win you back - but he could barely hear a word they were saying as he wiped away the sticky-sweet drink that was still dripping down his face.

“Ah’d give her a second ta calm down, ya ken? Go in the mornin’ and give her a chance to find her head.” 

“Showin' up at her place unannounced after hanging onto her shit all nigh'? Yeah, that’d leave a good impression, wouldn’ it? No wonder you can’t get a bird, Johnny. Scarin’ ‘em all off.” 

“Ach, ye’d know what tha’s like, wouldn’ ye? Spooky fuckin’ bastard. Ah bet women run the second they see tha' stupid fuckin' mask-” 

"Whatever. Gaz, just give it to the bartender, yeah? Clearly she doesn't like ya'. She'll come back for it."

In the end, he ends up taking Johnny’s advice and decides to return your wallet in the morning – which maybe wasn't his smartest move. Especially since now he doesn’t have a lick of alcohol flowing through his system to calm him down as he walks along the sidewalk towards your place. He’s sure he looks crazy to everyone he passes – muttering to himself to try to coach himself through what he’ll say to you. 

“Hey! Nah, uh…hello, how are you? No, I- fuck…” He shakes his head as he looks down at your wallet, twiddling the zipper between his fingers as he mumbles under his breath. “Hi, I’m Kyle…I’m the one who, um…who made you...cry last night. Ah, shit.” 

He's never felt this way about a girl before - like a nervous, stuttering schoolboy. His heart feels like it's going to beat out of his chest, and he can feel the sweat beading on the back of his neck when he suddenly finds himself standing in front of your door.

You've got a sweet little welcome mat - covered in sunflowers and loopy letters - and he notices all the pots filled with plants and flowers that scatter around near your door. God, he's already thinking that you're the most precious thing in the world.

He doesn't know what it is about you that's affecting him so much. Is it because you rejected him? Is it a challenge to him? Does he just feel guilty? Or maybe it's because, for the first time ever, he's gone after a girl that he actually has to figure out. Women have always thrown themselves at him the moment he flashed a smile their way. But you...all you did was throw a drink in his face.

It takes him nearly a full minute before he finally knocks on your door, and he can't seem to figure out what to do with his hands as he waits for the sound of your soft, thudding footsteps to reach the door.

You're still puffy from crying yourself to sleep last night, but you open the door with a polite smile anyway - donned in your oversized cat pajamas without an ounce of makeup on - but your smile quickly falls when you recognize the man standing on your doorstep.

The unfortunately beautiful man who had woken up every insecurity you had in less than a minute of talking to you.

Your expression seems to cycle through a million emotions as you try to comprehend how he could possibly be here, but once you notice the teal wallet clutched in his hand, realization settles on your features as the embarrassment hits you.

He stands silent for a moment as he takes in how gorgeous you are despite your slightly disheveled appearance, and he can barely form a sentence as he lifts up your wallet with a sheepish smile. "You, uh…you left this at the bar, um…last night. Got your address from your, uh...your I.D.” Christ, he's lost all sense of charisma hasn't he? He holds onto the wallet for a horrifyingly awkward amount of time as he stares blankly at you, but he finally comes to his senses when you mumble out a quiet 'oh, thanks' and reach out to take it.

“I’m Kyle, by the way.” 

He's never seen a girl look at him with such guardedness before - with your arms crossed protectively over your chest as you give him a tense smile. He can't tell if it's because of the whole incident from the night before, or if you're just freaked out that a total stranger went through all the effort to bring your wallet directly to where you live.

Probably both.

You clearly return his greeting just to be polite, murmuring your name quietly as you place your wallet off to the side.

“Yeah. Yeah, I know.” He lets out an awkward laugh, but quickly backtracks when you shoot him a funny look. “I mean, from your license! I-It’s got your name on it. I only know it because it's...it's on the license.” He stutters out quickly as he shoves his hands into his pockets. God, he's losing it. His heart feels like it's going to explode. “I, um…it’s a gorgeous name, by the way. Suits you, you know?” 

The compliment slips out naturally, but it only makes you tense up even more, and you suck in a tight breath as you begin to shift on your feet. Your fingers are itching to reach for the door to slam it in his face - arrogant prick thinking he can keep up his act from last night even though he practically sent you into a fit - but he interrupts your spiraling thoughts with a heavy sigh as he drops his charming smile.

“Hey, I...I just really wanted to say that I'm sorry, love. I didn’t mean to upset you like that last night.” His demeanor changes so drastically that you can't help but soften a bit, melting underneath his warm, pleading eyes enough to listen to him. "I think we had a bit of a misunderstanding...I wasn't making fun of you, love. Honest."

He seems so genuine about it that you can't help but feel a bit guilty. You had tossed and turned all night thinking about how shocked he had looked after your little outburst. You tried to stave of your regret by telling yourself that he had come over to you only to make fun of you like everyone else does, so technically he deserved it - but now you weren't so sure.

“Oh, well…I’m sorry for, you know…throwing my drink in your face.” You murmur sheepishly as you look down at your welcome mat - tracing one of the flowers with your fuzzy slipper before tilting your head back up to look at him with burning cheeks. “Wasn’t very mature of me."

“No, no, no...it's fine, really! If anything, I'm sorry you had to waste your drink on me. I mean, I know how pricey that place can get.” He lets out another laugh, but it's a bit less tense this time, especially when he sees the way your lips almost quirk up into a smile. It makes him feel bold enough to try to bring back the charm, and he can't stop himself from asking you, “You know…maybe I could, um…make it up to you sometime? Could buy you another drink?” 

But once again, you pause. His persistence only makes you more suspicious of his motives, and it shows in how you tighten your arms across your chest. He can see your eyes flash with a pang of hurt, and he feels his heart clench as he fumbles over himself, growing less sure by the second. “O-Or just a coffee, maybe?” 

“...Look, Kyle…” His heart leaps in his chest at the sound of his name on your lips, but your guarded tone is enough to smother the warm, fluttery feeling that had been building in his stomach. “Thanks for bringing me my wallet, but you’re wasting your time. I don’t know what kind of bet you have going with your friends, but I’m not going to fall for it, okay? I'm not...I'm not stupid.” 

Stupid? His expression falls once more, and he gives you the most genuine look he can muster as he speaks up quietly. “I...I don't think you're stupid. There’s no bet, love. Honest.”

“A dare, then.” 

“No dare, either.” 

You let out a frustrated sigh and roll your eyes a bit before resting your hand on your hip, but your irritated demeanor doesn't hide the way your eyes are beginning to grow a bit watery and bloodshot as you murmur quietly. “Well, why are you doing this, then?” 

His eyebrows furrow as he looks down on you, and he can't help but shake his head in disbelief as he takes a small step towards you. God, you were absolutely breaking his heart. Did you really think it was that unbelievable that he could like you? “I already told you, love. I think you’re absolutely gorgeous…and I know you don’t seem to like hearing that, but it’s true. And I know you're not just a pretty face, I just...I don't know anything else about you. But I'd like to...I'd like to get to know you.” 

You don't seem moved by his words, but he can't see how your heart begins to pound wildly in your chest, grasping onto the small bit of hope that you had desperately tried to push down. You'd spent so long trying to protect yourself from feeling this way about someone, and he's already managing to sneak past those walls you had built up.

But your mind keeps replaying every moment of disappointment you felt when it came to men 'asking you out' - how people would laugh behind your back when you would get excited for a date with a guy they all knew was just messing with you, or how a boy in your class straight-up laughed in your face when you thought he was being serious about being his date to the prom. 'Shit, she actually fell for it! Damn, I didn't think she'd have the nerve to say yes! Ah, right, well...sorry love...just havin' a bit of a laugh, yeah? All in good fun.'

No, no, no...you couldn't fall for something like this again.

He can see the look in your eyes as you stay silent, and his heart pangs with guilt when he realizes how much he's probably torturing you. He decides to put you out of your misery, so before you can open your mouth to reject him again, he raises his hand to stop you. "Yeah, alright...I understand." A pathetic smile graces his features, and you can't help but feel a bit guilty at the look of disappointment on his handsome face. "Can't blame a guy for trying though, aye?"

You can't even tell if you're disappointed or relieved that he's finally given up, but you give him a grateful smile as you nod your head in understanding. Couldn't expect a guy that looks like that to put in too much effort with someone like you, right? "Right...yeah...thank for um, understanding."

"Of course..."

God, this is awkward.

The both of you stand and stare at each other for another moment longer before he turns to leave. But just as he turns to go, he stops in his tracks and thinks to himself for a second before letting out a puff of air before turning back to you. "Don't happen to have a pen, do you, love?"

You blink in surpise at the randomness of his question, but eventually nod your head and disappear for just a second before returning with one in hand.

If only you could see how nervously he tapped his fingers against the side his leg while he waited for you to come back - a habit he only ever indulged in when he couldn't contain his anxiety on missions. Something his captain always ragged on him for.

Yeah, he was absolutely hung up on you.

He tries to ignore how soft your hand is when he takes the pen from you, but he can't ignore the way your touch zaps up through his arm and straight to his heart. And from the way you tuck your arm back against your chest with hot cheeks, he can't help but wonder if you felt it, too.

He pulls a crinkled receipt from the pocket of his jacket as he gives you a nervous smile, almost like he's waiting for you to scold him for trying again. And if it isn't the most charming thing you've ever seen... “Listen…if you change your mind-“ His hand moves quickly to scribble something on the small piece of paper, and when he hands it to you, you see his number written in handwriting that is frustratingly neat for a man in a rush. “-just let me know. No pressure, of course. I’ll fuck off if you want me to, but…just thought I’d give you the option. Don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t at least offer to make it up to you.” 

And you take that stupid, crinkled piece of paper from his hand against your better judgement, and to your chagrin you can feel your cheeks burning brightly enough for him to see. Luckily for you, he can't see the way your heart is dancing around in your chest at the prospect of actually having a chance with him.

"Right...ok." You mumble quietly as you stare down at his number, toying at the edges of the paper with your thumb before his voice catches your attention once more.

“Well, um…I should get going. I hope you have a good day, darling.” A part of you was horrified to realize that you didn't want him to leave just yet, but you just nod your head stiffly as he backs away from your doorstep. And god he gives you that handsome, charming smile one more time before he turns on his heel and calls over his shoulder. "I hope I get to see you again."

And you wave at him so awkwardly as he walks away, like a deer caught in headlights, but it makes his heart flutter all the same. He hopes that even if he doesn't get a chance with you, someone else will realize what a catch you are. Someone who will treat you the way you deserve. Someone like him.

It's not until much later in the day - when he's stuck in a briefing and trying not to fall asleep with Price's voice droning on johnny's already drooling on the table - that his phone vibrates in his pocket. He sneaks it out underneath the table to take a quick glance to see who could be messaging him, and his heart practically leaps out of his chest when he sees an unfamiliar number.

‘ok...maybe just one coffee.’

He can't help but smile to himself as he reads it, and before he can begin to type out a response, another message pops up on his screen. And another. And another.

'i mean, only if you're still interested, of course.'

'no pressure or anything :)'

'oh, this is y/n by the way!'

Yeah, you might be the sweetest girl he's ever met.

A/N: do I like this that much??? eehhhhhhhhhh idk. but i kept going back and forth and rewriting and deleting and i finally decided to put myself out of my misery. again, i'm so so so grateful to everyone who requested a part two for this and left support on the original post so i hope this meets everyone's standards! pls feel free to leave suggestions in my inbox or in the comments if there's anything specific you want to see (or request something else entirely)! i also wouldn't mind writing any alternate parts of the story if ppl request it so pls dont hold back! pls stay with me for pt. 3!!! also sorry if you requested to be tagged and i missed you!

Hello! I love your writing by the way and how you interpret Scaramouche/ wanderer is just 🤌🤌🤌

I would like to know your opinion about, what if there was an au where both Scaramouche and reader are in college. Reader takes on medical technology where she studied all about microbiology and all that stuffs and giz. When all of a sudden their professor tasked them that they would need to bring their own sperm cell for this assignment but reader doesn't know where to get some. But then it hit her, she finally knows someone who could help and all she needs is a little persuasion.

You don't have to answer it though or reply to it. It just an idea I had stuck in my brain for awhile huhu. But all in all, your writing is so good and well thought out and I would like to see how this turns out. Anyways love you and hope that you listen to it hihi >🩷🩷

Spurm of the Moment

POV: You need sperm to do a project in your biology class, but you’re a woman, and cannot get it in your own. You could get it in sperm banks, but that would probably cost you money... So why not use your dear friend to get that sperm?

⚠️ WARNINGS:

— This is NSFW work

— Reader is FEMALE and uses SHE/HER pronouns

— Contains: Blindfolding, bondage and overstimulation

— Wanderer x Biomedic Reader

— AU is: Modern

“Are you sure I have to be like this?” Wanderer asked as he tried pulling his arms away from the chair’s arm rests, testing out the ropes’ strength.

“Please, we both know how you are. You barely let me hug you when we’re hanging out already. Do you really think you’d let me do this to you freely? Don’t make me laugh…” You asked while still kneeling down in front of him, tightening the last rope around his left leg.

“What about the blindfold, then? How is that helping you?” But he kept trying to challenge you’d expect from him.

“I don’t want you to… witness.” You cleared your throat as you stood up from your spot.

“Oh? But you can take off my pants and jack my dick off as you wish?” You could still see his eyebrows frowning even if the blindfold covered his purple eyes. “Y’know, why didn’t you just ask me to jack off on my own?” He kept moving his hands in diverse ways as he spoke, enjoying one of the few freedoms he still had.

“I don’t trust you to be cautious with it.” You walked towards your desk, grabbing the other preparatives you needed for this moment such as rubber glover and the pot where you’d keep the semen in.

“You don’t trust me to beat my own meat?” Wanderer wheezed, lowing his head down momentarily.

“I trust you to do that, but not to be cautious and sanitary with the results.” After grabbing the prepartions and dressing the gloves around your hands, you walked back to him, kneeling in front of him ahain. “And, you did consent to this anyway…” You tried teasing him wth the truth, but it didn’t seem to have much effect.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever…” He kept himself broad to pretend he hadn’t lost that little argument.

“Just to make sure you aren’t starting to regret this… What is the safe word we agreed on?” You asked him a bit more seriously, looking up to him despite hs inability to stare back at you.

“Biology.” He answered very bored.

“Yes. Just like the main purpose of this.” You reminded him of that fact before your hands started to move down his chest. “May I?”

He nodded and you soon cupped his crotch with a hand, beginning to gently rub your palms against his organ to get him erect.

“Shit…” Wanderer turned his head to the side while biting his inferior lip to stop himself from making any louder noises compared to the short grunts from the back of his throat. “What kind of lesson is this anyway..?” He fixed his throat, trying to maintain his dignity.

“We have a project to examine sperm cell behavior of different people under certain conditions.” You answered neutrally, focusing more on his slightly-hardened organ rather than his anger.

“Are you the only woman in their class or something?! Why would he not give the cells already?!” Wanderer kept trying to argue with you and distract himself from the pressure you were applying on him.

“Hmmmm… I don’t know.” You shrugged your shoulders, not wanting to think about less awkward alternatives now that you were getting what you needed.

So, trying to get him to stop protesting, you finally put your whole hand under his underwear and pulled out his dick out of it, finally springing it free. When Wanderer felt your gloved fingers enveloping his pink tip is when he started fighting back again.

“Aren’t there any sperm banks in the school?! O-Or maybe in the city?!” His head was looking down at where the motions were going to happen, trying to somehow have a bit of control and awareness of his situation.

“Don’t you think it’s a little too late to protest about it now?” You spoke a bit ironically, circling those same fingers around him to give him a starter.

“You minx…” You could clearly see his fists gripping around the edges pf the seat as you teased him, taking it all out on it.

“You know you like it.” You blinked to him, finally beginning to occupy his mind with more pleasure.

Your fingers were jerking him gently and slowly, going all the way to the tip of his urethra down to base of his cock. It was a tortuous rhythm that was certainly tensing him up for more. His own fingers would slightly scratch the chair to relieve himself and hope it’d make him more silent around you, feet tapping the floor nervously.

“You know… this would be faster if you told me about anything you like during these moments for me to do.” You suddenly decided to open your mouth to give him that suggestion, deciding to use your other hand to gently get a hold of his testicles to test him out.

Wanderer flinched as soon as he felt you touch that region, skin visibly shivering. A bothered grunt also came out of his throat in response, a hint of pink coloring his cheeks.

“J-Just… stroke me faster.” He fixed his throat again as you smirked at the facade he was trying to pose to you.

But you did as he wished and proceeded to stroke him faster, still trying your best to tease his tip the most so he could ejaculate as soon as possible. It was now a bit harder for Wanderer to jail his noises, meaning he had to try even harder to keep his mouth shut, and those efforts were making this whole moment way more awkward for you too.

“You can moan, y’know? I would expect you to.” You turned your face to him, but seeing his face made you too embarrassed to keep looking at it that bravely, so you abruptly turned away and started looking at the floor instead.

“I don’t want you to listen…” He quickly mumbled before another moan took his vocal chords over and forced him to shut his mouth again.

“Alright, then… But it is going to become worse for you.” You said while making the circle between your middle, ring finger and your thumb tighter, trying to squeeze him more.

“For fuck’s sake…” Wanderer’s hips trying to recoil away from you, but that was impossible due to his legs being tied to the chair’s too, so he had no choice but to relieve himself by stretching his legs and arching his back, his feet facing the roof.

If only he wasn’t wearing shoes… You were pretty sure all his fingers would be spread apart too from that heavy pleasure wave you gave him, but you had no choice but to move on from that and keep focusing on pulling out that orgasm from him.

This moment was as awkward for him as it was for you. You’d never expect someone as reserved as him to let you do this to him, and actually doing it felt bizarre. Now you knew how his dick looked like, and you could probably imagine how it fit and looked under his pants. How would look at him normally again? How would he look at you normally again? Maybe you should’ve been more creative with your problem-solving skills instead of insisting on this. But at the same times you couldn���t blame yourself for him accepting to do this so… easily.

“I know it’s very weird, but… It would be really helpful if you could help me do this faster.” Now it was your turn to fix your throat to pretend you didn’t have an awkwardness in the tip of your tongue.

“… Ok.” He accepted your commission very neutrally, arms crossed as if he was bored and not surprised at all.

Maybe he wasn’t exactly taking you seriously and didn’t realize the gravity of what he put himself into.

“I hope I’m successfully stimulating you and not just… doing this for nothing.” You laughed your embarrassment away, trying to cool the mood between you two.

“Y-You’re good.” He mumbled, a bit too embarrassed to confess his satisfaction with all of this.

“Tell me when you’re close, okay?” You looked at the pot sitting at the floor by your side, wondering when would you finally use it.

“Ok…” Wanderer moaned under his throat again, still holding himself back.

Hearing his confirmation, you kept working your hands in his organ, trying your best to recreate the tips you’ve read in the internet about how to make a guy reach his orgasm quickly. Your right hand was basically twisting itself within every pump to provoke his sized cock while sometimes gripping it a bit harder on purpose to cause a bit of pleasurable pain. Meanwhile, your left hand were still massaging his balls and caressing them with thumb, but way more carefully compared to your other hand. You knew that it was a very sensible and fragile part of the male body and you had no idea if Wanderer would like you to mess with it any harder, so you had no choice but to be gentle despite your want to end this as soon as possible.

“I-I think I’m close…” Wanderer suddenly threw his head back, a high-pitched moan escaping his lips after holding himself back so much.

“Are you? Really?” You asked, turning your eyes back to him, seeing his mouth hanging open from the overstimulation.

“Y-Yeah, yeah… Go faster…” He asked, cheeks growing a bit redder from asking you such an embarrassing question.

You nodded and started pumping him faster, dropping all those techniques you were trying to use to focus on man tuning that growing momentum, including his testicles so you could grab the pot. And it seemed to be working because Wanderer started hissing quite frequently to get rid of his need to groan.

“A-Almost there..!” Wanderer’s feet begun dragging themselves against the floor again, trying to contain his pleasure, his hips trying to jerk upwards to feel more friction and allow himself to free that aching knot in his balls.

Unfortunately, despite his warning, Wanderer was still not ejaculating at all, which worried you a bit.

“A-Are you sure?” You asked, almost laughing in pure nervousness.

“Yes… yes, yes, yes…” His eyebrows kept twitching and frowning as closure suffocated him, his feet still trying to stretch on the wooden floor.

You grabbed the pot sitting in front of you and you put it in his tip, readying yourself for his orgasm. Now all that would come out of him would directly go inside there with no chance of escape. But then Wanderer’s orgasm snapped pretty soon after you did that, making the timing of your placing of the pot perfect.

Wanderer bit his inferior lips again, simply hissing all his way through it instead of just letting those caged moans go for once. All his cum was going to the pot as expected, but you had to do some effort to keep it all together due to how strongly he was cumming. His hips were jerking forwards to the most they could, hand fingers all spread and aggressive with the poor chair.

“Shit!” He also kept insulting the nothing around him out of nowhere for no apparent reason rather than just coping with the high amounts of pleasure being release.

Soon enough, his cock stop twitching inside the pot, signaling you that it was over. So you pulled it out and angled it back to its normal position to make the semen stuck on the walls to drip down to the bottom of the pot. Meanwhile, Wanderer was just completely melted in the chair, breathing in and out heavily to refresh himself.

“Aaaaand…” You voiced as you reached for the jar’s cover and begun spinning around the pot, stopping when it wasn’t possible to do so anymore. “Done!” You cheered excitedly while getting up and moving to your table.

You carefully placed the pot in a corner and grabbed a packet of blank stickers, beginning to rip one off of it to use it, but Wanderer finally recovered his logical thinking.

“Are you not going to untie me?! It was supposed to be the first thing to do!” He complained, sitting his body in the chair normally again.

“Wait.” You said, trying to focus on stick the sticker in the pot in anyway it wouldn’t be curved or off the center in the slightest.

“You better hurry up… It is very uncomfortable to be in this chair…” Wanderer used an ironic tone to complain about you, trying his best to annoy you to get what he wanted.

“You didn’t seem to have a problem with it at first.” You decided to pause your pot-labeling to give him attention, speaking very snobbishly too.

“Yeah, but now I’m just barely sitting naked here with no moving rights!” He resisted your argument, trying to move his arms and legs again to show you how tight he was against that chair.

“Fine, fine…” You got up from your chair and quickly moved to him, wanting to get that extra task done as soon as possible.

And soon enough, as soon as you took off his blindfold and freed his hands, Wanderer zipped his zipped back to its upper end as soon as possible, a loud high-pitched noise accompanying it. And when you were done freeing his legs, he kicked the hanging ropes around it away and quickly moved away, stretching his limbs apart to taste that sensation of freedom again.

“Holy fuck.” Wanderer moaned as he looked at his hand and tested their flexibility, seeing its fingers bend, his thumb rolling, and his wrists, still aching from the ropes, rotating as he commanded them to do so.

But you ignored him to focus on the sticker in the pot again, finally managing to stick it in the place you wanted it to be. Then, you proceeded to grab one of your many pens and, specifically the black one, and open it just to quickly write “Semen” on the almost-transparent red, straight, middle line of the sticker, and pop the cover back to its place in the pen.

“Gee, I hope I never meet another Biomedicine freak like you again…” He suddenly insulted you, which surprisingly made you turn your chair to him because you had a little twist that you forgot to tell him about.

“Well… It’s with this Biomedicine freak you’re stuck with for the rest of the month.” You tried to keep yourself calm, but you knew that would make him confused.

“What?” He turned to you, with a confused expression in his face you which you could take a picture of.

“Throughout the month I’m probably gonna need some more loads of semen to do the testing…” You watched his eyes widening very entertained, trying your best to not laugh.

“What do you mean?” He asked, in the brim of having a panic attack.

“I forgot to mention to you that little fact, but… I’ll eventually need more semen to compare it to this original sample.” You brought the pot to your hands and lightly shook it, showing Wanderer his own sperm. “Unless you want to cancel this and force me to redo everything I’ve done yet… You’ll have to be my provider this whole month!” You said excitedly, knowing damn well it would make him snap.

“Why didn’t you tell me about this before?!” He shook his arms around very stressed.

“Oopsies! Forgot!” You turned your chair back to the table. “If you’re that bothered, I’ll just throw this a—”

“NO!” He screamed, slightly surprising you. “I-I mean… I can’t let this whole shit we just did go to waste!” He explained himself, convincing you to turn back to him again.

“Oh? Or maybe you’re jealous with the thought of me doing that same shit with another man?” You decided to keep teasing him with a smirk in your lips.

“O-Of course not! Why would I ever feel jealous for you?!” As soon as he finished talking, Wanderer wheezed and put his hands in his face, trying to control himself. “I-I’m gonna get going…” His calm, cold tone came back as he spoke and walked around your room.

Since he hadn’t brought anything, all he had to do was leave your room. But right before he actually could slam your door shut and run very far from your apartment, he suddenly walking, and froze in his place for a few seconds before turning back to you.

“Don’t you dare think about throwing that away.” He pointed to your pot very aggressively, body visibly hard as he threatened you.

And the door was finally slammed to its closed state.

love island ft. ryomen sukuna

masterlist

loveisland!sukuna who isn't interested in you at first (or anyone for that matter) but due to his little feud with gojo he decided to spend time and time with you, as it seemed as though gojo was smitten with you. but his scheme ended up with him actually being into you, oh boy!

loveisland!sukuna who isn't as charming or sweet as the others, and he doesn't pretend to be. for a place where men are encouraged to be on their best behavior he sure sticks out like a sore thumb, but you'd be lying if you said that it didn't attract you to him

loveisland!sukuna who is just passionate. the second he decides you'll be his, he makes it known to everyone, specially you. in your dates, he never shies away from any "hard" questions, nor does he acted like he has mixed feelings. sure, maybe he doesn't call you my love, nor does he tell you sweet nothings at all times, but when you ask him if he'd actually be in a relationship with you when this all is over, or whether he's genuinely into you, his answers make your doubts go away, as if there was never a reason to have them to begin with. he's not quite the talker, but you come to realize that he's a good fucking listener. sure, he looks annoyed about half the time, but you best believe he remembers the names of your plushies, your favorite dressing, the show you've watched 17 times, and the exact spot in your neck where you'd rather be bit than sucked on, the pace at which he should thrust into you, and what sounds let him know that you need more, that you're about to cum, or that you want to change the pace. he truly does make you wonder if anyone's truly known you before him

loveisland!sukuna who always wins the heart rate challenge, for the only one who spikes his off the charts is you, and everyone else is well, just there. this always earns him dates with you, in which he makes sure he spikes your heart rate off the chart. be prepared to wake up sore, because no matter how active you may or may not be, this man is fan of multiple rounds, and even if that was just part of the game, he believes you owe him for getting him all riled up, and he makes you pay for it. you must want to kill him by showing everyone in the cast and crew, who struggle trying to censor the obscene bulge he's worked up after your little performance. whether it is by fucking your throat relentlessly until he feels like you've earned pleasure, or by putting you in all fours and gripping your waist and hair so damn hard that you barely have time to notice he's about to go all in with no mercy, though the way your pussy clenches and gets even wetter lets him know you don't mind one last bit, or maybe even by making you sit your cunt on his tattooed face and not stopping until you're a crying, whimpering mess begging for a break, which spoiler alert! he's not giving you

loveisland!sukuna who is feisty. he's quick to get into a fight when he overhears the other contestants talk about you as if they could get you, or if god forbid, someone disrespects you. if it weren't for the public absolutely loving his twisted temper and how he is towards you, the black eyes and broken noses he's caused would've made him get sent home wayyyy sooner than planned

loveisland!sukuna who loves adventure dates and dinner dates. horseback riding in a forest or mountain can be super romantic, he gets to tease you and let his competitive side shine through, but you shouldn't be surprised to find that he was on a quest to find the perfect hidden spot where he could take you without interruptions, as it was already rough focusing on riding the horse while all you wanted to do was ride him, and he had made it clear he had about the same intentions when he "helped" you get on your horse, which sure, yeah you were secured alright, but you heavily doubted the rubbing of his fingers on your clothed pussy did anything to adjust your seat, or the fact that he explained everything to you between kisses along your neck and shoulders as his breath landed right on your ear had actually helped you on your journey. if anything, it made you wish you had worn a bikini instead of your cotton underwear, which was soon to be torn to shreds. as for dinner dates, he actually loves listening to you speak. he may always bitch when you ask to taste his food, but as he rolls his eyes he pushes his plate towards you, and makes sure to look back just in time to see you've liked his choice, not that he ordered something that would be of your taste, his taste just so happens to be excellent, the mere coincidence it has with your favorite meals is purely random, not him trying to impress you, don't be stupid. and sure, maybe he's making mental notes of your favorite desserts when it's time for those, but he makes sure you can't tell he's scheming by having you as his dessert, because who the fuck would have a spoonful of ice cream when they could easily be nose deep in your cunt instead?

loveisland!sukuna who's cutscenes with you are just hilarious. he loves to banter with you and see how witty you can be with him, and he loves the way your mouth never gives out on him, whether in argument or bed is his favorite is a big dilemma, but he knows he doesn't need to settle it

loveisland!sukuna who has always been secure of everything he's done in this life. who has never known what fear means. but the second he realizes he's fallen for you, he begins to question whether he deserves you at all, and he's fucking terrified at the thought of losing you. it pisses him off terribly to have met his match, and you make him oh so weak, it's agonizing. and yet, in the quiet of the night where it's just the two of you, he comes to realize that maybe, just maybe, he only feels safe with you, only you have lit the fire on a heart that he swore was born cold, and he'll go to the end of the fucking world for you, if you need him to, because even if he thought he preferred his life the way it was, you've given it a meaning, something to yearn for, and he'll be damned if he backs down, because truly, what fool would shy away from earning the greatest treasure of all?

Me (lovingly) at all the people who fully believed Coiny went back to normal this episode

Like... Okay let's break this down. Break down beneath the cut as it's long! Spoilers for BFDIA 19.

The first shot of the episode is Coiny hiding his face at the bottom of the stairs. It's obviously supposed to set up how he's feeling this episode, although later he plays it off as a joke, saying he was "napping" and moving right into being over dramatic about missing Cake at Stake. If you believe him, this set up now becomes a joke.

If you don't this set up now becomes a way to show the audience how he's feeling inside, as he doesn't seem to want to outright say or show any animosity towards Pin, especially in front of the other contests. Pin even expresses confusion the first time they talk because the first thing Coiny does is compliment her - saying "nice find!" about the new host. The fact they make her look confused at all is a hint in and of itself that we should be doubting how Coiny's acting right now - yes, it also works for her character, as she obviously didn't expect him to want to positively interact with her, but the emphasis on the confusion should nudge the viewers to think "hey.. wait a minute..."

Another quick thing - Tennis ball says Coiny's been "isolating in the tower for a while now", not specifying how long, meaning it's possibly Coiny's been hiding out in there for much longer than "an afternoon nap" as he says.

Pin and Coiny don't interact again until the super market gag. When Coiny suggests the super market, and Pin accuses him of trying to trick her, Coiny says "would I ever lie to you?" to which Pin says "Yeah." Meaning It's possible Pin suspects Coiny of lying about how he feels. This is another hint to the audience - Pin is telling us that Coiny can be a liar and a trickster sometimes, and that we can't take everything he says at face value (Eg, How long was that afternoon nap, buddy?). This can also just be seen as a reference to the fact Coiny is a mischief maker, again, making it easy to write it off as him being his "normal self".

Pin goes in anyway - this could be seen as two things: Either she doesn't care if it's a trick or not (implying she doesn't view Coiny as a threat) or she knows it could be a trick, but seeing as he's not being antagonistic towards her so far, decides to trust him anyway (Coiny has never done Pin wrong before, why would he now?)

But Why? Why would Coiny offer Pin a huge giant super market?

I think It's possible he wanted to show her that he can still be helpful. They don't have to be allies, but he's still useful, and getting rid of him would be getting rid of a huge resource of support in the games. He wants Pin to see the value in him, so he offers her everything he can. Look, we don't have to be enemies! He's trying to convince her not to hurt him again, because look at everything he can give her! Isn't it worth it? ...Isn't it?

Or, it's possible he was setting her up, so that he could knock her down later. A taste of her own medicine, if you will. Coiny expected Pin to buy at least 2 things, both of which she'd need for her basket, only for him to swoop in and steal them from her after, putting them in his own basket and possibly winning the challenge. He wanted Pin to feel the betrayal. A metaphorical way of pushing her off the platform. A way to say See, this is how it felt, but now we're even and you understand me, so we can go back to normal, right?

I'm excited for what happens next episode - I wonder if we'll get a Coiny break down before or after Pin's inevitable elimination.

Fun thing about laicion I got to put into words the other day… The first criticism you'll see for laicion is their arguing about werewolves and the correct way to be one. And see, I don't think that makes them incompatible at all. If anything Laios was being rude lol, like I really doubt Lycion would judge Laios for his preferences. Just by spending more time with each other they'd get more comfy and familiar with each other and how important being a monster in their specific way is for them and for how they think. À la Dungeon Meshi "differences can be breached with open-mindedness" theme

But what I want to talk about… Imo, Laios' monsterification mindset isn't necessarily healthy is the thing.

Like, Lycion is sort of recovered from that space of desperately seeking to escape his human self, now he's able to love himself fully. His monster body makes his regular body more tolerable and incentivizes him to take good care of himself, he cares for his body now, he loves himself.

Meanwhile Laios' want to become a monster fully, mind and all, is in good part because he just… Doesn't want to think anymore you know, it's to distance himself from humans and being hurt in any way shape or form. Being a monster is a way to escape feelings and human rejection, to carve his own sense of belonging somewhere through escapism. Laios isn't ashamed of himself, he loves who he is, but he does think that he's unlovable to others and that he can't possibly belong anywhere- and I think that's why challenging him on that very thing, that "being a monster in mind is the best", is not only good to make him & his perspective grow but also the very thing he had to accept at the end of canon by becoming king. Teaching him to be comfortable in that sort of inbetween, valuing your human traits, your human personality your human connections and seeing that that doesn't mean you can't still also indulge in your monster identity and be loved "despite" it.

Lycion did it, where Laios' arc is phrased by many as being a man who wants to be a wild wolf being willing to become a domesticated dog because loving community is more fulfilling than lonely freedom, Lycion has already accepted being a dog already. Lycion in many ways is Laios' arc end goal. They both have people who accept them, but what they still don't quite have is someone who understands them.

Laicion is just a really good mix imo of being similar to him, complementing him AND appropriately challenging him on some of his more prickly tendencies.

This extra is interesting to consider in the context of laicion too… Izutsumi finding Lycion's explanations bad while he was able to teach Laios about the demon aside, here Lycion is the one to tentatively wonder how it'd be like to "completely give up on his humanity", not because Izutsumi promoted him to but just because the talk stuck with him and he got curious about it. In the end it's not what he wants, but still he thinks about what it'd be like. It's compelling and interesting to him in a way— he gets the allure, wonders about the possibility, considers it.

A way I like to illustrate this whole laicion dynamic is a modern AU I brainstormed with @lucky-fydraws that I call furcon AU haha~ In it Lycion is fursuiter that makes really cool realistic fursuits except they're fantasy, so while his mascot suit is a realistic wolf it has inaccurate imagined ears and he has long hair etc etc, meanwhile Laios is a newer furry who's looking to buy his first fursuit of a beautiful silver wolf but he has HIGH standards. What do you mean you don't perfectly recreate the species' teeth!! Dogs don't have that many mollars!! Laios attempts to commission Lycion but it ends up falling through after Laios harps on everything and insults Lycion's tastes to boot. They made fast friends on a separate forum unbeknownst to them though, and as internet friends they made plans to meet up at the next furcon! You can imagine the oncoming shenanigans haha. Despite their beef, Lycion as the veteran furry prevents Laios who REFUSES to take off any piece of his fursuit for breaks or to drink because it ~breaks immersion~ from getting a heat stroke. Stuff happens blahblah but in the end... Laios realizes his restrictions are preventing him from feeling better in his own skin and hobby and from making connections… And even decides that fantasy fursuits aren't so bad, and indulges his old "chimeras are better only if they're of just two creatures" inaccurate fantasy with getting a fursuit of a rhino-eagle-wolf-chimera <3

Exploring Laios' flaws is my favorite thing though, this whole thing made me think about the laicion AUs where Laios became an illegal beastkin fighter instead of a caravan worker pre-canon, like Lucky-fy's Gladiator AU and just. God Laios becoming a beastman gladiator really IS like the perfect, next-best-to-WL scenario where his flaws get confronted like… Werewolf fighter Laios getting cheered on for being a monster man, for being powerful and beating someone up, like his childhood fantasy of gobbling up people who bother him, or villages getting decimated for rejecting him and Falin. Just that mix of Laios finding like he maybe found that twisted sense of "belonging" he's always craved since he was a kid, where others value the same thing he does, like this isn't just exploitative work but the thing he wants to do the most if he had to choose, his worst sides getting enabled and encouraged and Laios preferring to see himself as thriving rather than lonely and overworked & injured and struggling to find agency in his life….. Angry Laios my beloved repressed Laios my love……… Enters Lycion his senior co-gladiator. Can werewolf romance fix this? The better question is, is there anything werewolf romance can't fix? Hm thinking of it this is kind of the spiritual opposite to my Epic Laios AU…

Guys who have dysmorphia and want to be cool wolf men…… Furries together… Laidback guy who values bluntness and is good at social cues and loves hypotheticals and is good at explaining stuff to him… Patient guy who loves the shenanigans and whimsy…..

Laios ships usually do have acceptance and unconditional love and belonging as themes because well, Laios' worries and wants center a lot around that, and laicion is just kinda different flavors of it in the end, because it's about being fully accepted by a fully human forces him to recognize that he can be loved, yes even by a human, this way to be that often feels alien to him, but with Lycion it just has this shift of an added "I found someone like me" effect. Both still have just as much of a "I've found my people who'll support me no matter what" sentiment 😌

At the risk of repeating myself… Men who are resigned to not being loved back in different ways!! Men who have stopped hoping and just take the scraps of love they are lent!!!! Men who are very chill and stable and definitely not starved for it indeed!!!!!!! It's all about performing your humanity, all about how much you are willing to debase yourself for love. Can you like me dirty and animal too or only human and pristine. Can I be myself with you. Can I be vulnerable and shed my clothes. Can I love you like a dog and be met with affection and not repulsion?

Hello! If requests are still open, may I ask for some headcanons for Sinostra and Hotarubi character (both of these dorm are my fav dorm) character with a female reader that's like Black Swan from Honkai Star Rail?

Hi Anon! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took so long. I hope you like the headcanons!

Fandom: Tokyo Debunker

Characters: Taiga Hoshibami, Romeo Lucci, Ritsu Shinjo, Subaru Kagami, Haku Kusanagi, Zenji Kotodama x gn! Reader (separate)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What do the characters think of you, someone who's a lot like Black Swan from Honkai Star Rail? Mysterious, elegant, and loves collecting memories.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You and Taiga are a very contrasting pair of people. You’re both mysterious but in very, very different ways. He finds your mysteriousness intriguing though.

Taiga thinks your elegance is a bit annoying at times if he’s being honest. It’s so different to how he acts, he can’t really imagine how you’re happy living like that.

In a similar manner, he does find it challenging being around you since it’s so hard to tell what you’re thinking. He has trouble figuring out his own thoughts most of the time.

When it comes to your fondness for collecting or discovering memories, Taiga has no complaints. If you’re willing to find out about his past, he’s not going to stop you.

Oh, Romeo’s so glad there’s someone else around who’s elegant enough to hang around him without bringing his aura down. It’s a lovely change of pace.

He also secretly thinks it’s kind of cool how mysterious you are. But he’ll never say that to your face. He’s not about to give you all that ammo to use against him!

However, he does think you’re a bit strange for wanting to collect memories, especially when it comes to the memories of other people. He just can’t fathom why you’d want to do that.

When it comes to your thoughts being difficult to tell, he doesn’t really have an opinion on it. He’ll be able to tell some of your thoughts and not others but he’s got other concerns.

Ritsu’s a bit on guard around you when you first meet but that’s only because of your mysterious nature.

He doesn’t really care that you’re elegant but he does find you a lot easier to deal with than people like Taiga and Romeo so that’s a nice change of pace for him.

Out of everyone, he really relates to your interest in collecting memories. While he’s not big on memories for the same reason as you, he enjoys collecting knowledge and evidence. You’re a good pair.

But above everything else, Ritsu finds you interesting because of how hard you are to read. He takes it on as a challenge and gets pretty good at telling what you’re thinking.

You and Subaru get along really well. You’re both pretty mysterious people to start with so you can relate to each other. I can also see you both opening up to each other over time.

You’re also both very elegant, graceful people and, even to others, it seems like you both work well together. It’s like you in a constant dance together, one that’s beautiful to watch and be a part of.

He thinks it’s cool that you collect memories. While he doesn’t necessarily get it himself, he’s glad you’ve got interests and passions.

He does find it difficult not knowing your thoughts, especially since he’s got his own issues. Be a bit more open with him and he’ll slowly get to understand you better.

Haku’s fascinated by you and your mysterious nature. Sure, he can be a bit mysterious himself but in his mind, he doesn't hold a candle to you.

In a similar manner, he loves the challenge of getting to know what you’re thinking. And he’ll practice until he’s proficient in reading your words and body language.

Haku likes how elegant you are. He’s pretty smooth for the most part but balances out your elegance nicely when needed.

Your interest in collecting memories is nothing if not a great excuse for him to flirt with you. He’s going to be dropping a lot of flirty “how about we go and make some new memories together?” comments.

Oh! Zenji’s having the time of his life getting to know you. Your mysteriousness gives him so much creative inspiration, it’s crazy.

In the same way, your elegance serves to inspire him. You also balance each other well between his over-the-top behaviour and your quiet grace.

I think out of everyone, Zenji would understand your interest in collecting memories most. That’s pretty much what he does with his songs and poems after all.

Because he finds it difficult to tell what you’re thinking, he’ll often write down different interpretations of your possible moods. He’ll show them to you sometime so you can let him know if he got them right or not.

Thoughts on BFDIA 19

Not too late this time around!

The game is definitely getting more serious

So, let's get on with it!

[Spoilers below!]

Good to see the Freesmart crew is alive and thriving!

Though, seeing them like this always makes me wonder what happened in the group since Book and Ice Cube decided to leave in BFB

Currently, the alliance is going great!

Did something happen in IDFB that made Book and Ice Cube realize that they want to quit?

Anyways, I wasn't expecting Tennis Ball to try and CHEAT?!?

At least with challenges, you can kind of respect it

DANG! I know the other competitors cheat and lie and do anything they can to win, but he was trying to do bribery!

But just straight up trying to win the whole show with a bribe?

No dignity in that one

Which does kind of lead into my next point

I actually wanted Fries to stay in instead of Tennis Ball

I got convinced a while back that Fries should win (or in the very least, deserves to win) the show

But hey, Tennis Ball has got some new character development and that is being a bit conniving

But do recall that he and everyone else are burning down bridges and destroying their integrity for...

This

Maybe they forgot that this is the prize like most people?

Anyways, I do like that Book isn't a pushover (just sometimes too nice for her own good)

I like her kicking Fries when he insulted her and her basically rolling her eyes when Fries said that no one had ever been in more pain than him

Next we have another host!

THE FISH MONSTER?!?

Was not expecting that

Nor that people would use different synonyms of monster to refer to them

It was sweet to see the fish monster beam when they were told they were the new host of BFDIA!

And funny to see that they had different prediction of the final 5 lol

Interesting to see that Coiny doesn't hold anything against Pin

I guess game recognizes game?

They're more, semi-friendly rivals at the moment

Hopefully if either of them are eliminated, they'll be friends again since there is no reason to trick the other?

Back onto Book, poor her :<

As I've said before, she's sometimes too nice for her own good

It's like she sometimes forgets that she's in a competition and decides to help others out instead

Competitive she tries to be, but her kindness stops her from being as strong of a player as she could be

I guess she's too used to being in alliance and helping others, who in return help her win the game

She did ask Tennis Ball and Needle separately if they'd be willing to team with her

So I guess she's used to working in a team!

Then again, she did want to give the fish monster something very cool from the land even though the fish monster didn't care

Though that was partially due to kindness and a sense of honor

While the other reason was wanting to win the game

Speaking of kindness, guess who's back: Leafy!

Kind of the opposite of Book in that sense though

While Leafy helps others as an attempt to befriend them

Book helps others just because (almost instinctual)

It was fun to see Leafy again though (I want her to meet up with FIrey but I don't think that would work within canon unfortunately :< )

Her voice was deeper than I expected

Also, when she was helping others, I immediately thought of Taco lol

(exiled person for stealing the s1 prize secretly helps a competitor [or competitors] in s2 in an attempt to get something they want)

I did think Book would befriend Leafy, but Leafy was bit too impatient in the friend making process

I could totally see them being friends!

ALSO NOOOO, BOOK DIDN'T GET IMMUNITY AGAIN ;-;

Everyone in the show jokes about how bad of a player she is

So when they saw her, just inches away from immunity, they couldn't believe it!

So of course, it got stolen away from her

At least it was Needle? (That might be worse considering they in the same team and they are friends(?), though maybe it'll be like Coiny and Pin where there's no hard feelings between them)

I thought Needle pushed Book's basket so that it would catch the ice cream so I was happy!

Then I realized it was Needle's own basket...

Oh well, I'm still happy it was Needle and not Pin

Hopefully that wasn't to chaotic of a post

And I'm sure, from this post, one can tell I love Book a lot :3

[the-sprog]

Caving and writing a plot bunny because I have ideas and now this is too flashed out not to write a fic for it, and I'll forget if I don't write it down somewhere

Timeline I've come up with:

Nicky AU where Sonic has been, for years, telling his parents that he (as Nicky) is part of team Sonic, but he only does coding (like for robots and their communicators) for them and never fights in the front lines.

What happened is that after a few months of Sonic taking over Nicky's body to save the day, Nicky started to take care of the issues himself out of spite. Done with the fact that everyone liked Sonic more than him. It came to a point that Sonic didn't show up anymore, making Eggman (who went to Hedgehog village for Sonic) lose interest with the place.

When he turned 6, he moved away to go live with Uncle Chuck, so he could study somewhere more challenging. He an Amy barely talked anymore, as she would turn every conversation into Sonic praise, worsening Nicky's inferiority complex. During his stay in the bigger city, Eggman attacks and Nicky figures out he's been Sonic all along. And running? Oh, he LOVES running.

However, he starts getting severe social anxiety fueled by a really strong impostor syndrome, causing the start of his selective mutism. For a while, Uncle Chuck is the only one he talks to as Sonic (Nicky still goes to class without issues).

That's when he meets Amy again. She left home shortly after Nicky to go find Sonic and join in his adventures. I imagine that her relationship with her parents wasn't all that great, so she decided to run away when Nicky, her only safe space, left.

Meeting her really hammer in that he's not good enough to be Sonic, as Sonic used to have no issues beating Eggman and his robots to scrap metal.

Not too long after, he meets Tails, who had actually been to Hedgehog village for Sonic as well and knew Nicky and Sonic were the same person. He explains to Nicky (while fixing up the Tornado (who is actually Uncle Chuck's)) that Sonic told him he was from the future and that he couldn't explain what had actually happened in fear of messing up the timeline and creating a paradox. He said that everything will be explained in due time and that he's sure Nicky will figure everything out.

At first, Sonic talked to Tails, too. But it was clear that Tails, just like Amy, had a very specific idea of how Sonic was. Scared of disappointing Tails by being too much like Nicky, he stops talking with him as well. When Uncle Chuck dies, they take the Tornado to start traveling and fighting Eggman. This is when he tells his parents that he joined Team Sonic, saying that he wanted to repay them after they helped him stop Eggman. In exchange to letting him come, he gave them the Tornado.

He continues his studies remotely, still as Nicky if course.

It isn't until the end of the whole Angel Island Death Egg situation that Sonic speaks for the first time in forever. The whole adventure, the emeralds, helping Knuckles, it all made him feel... like himself. Like for the first time he actually was Sonic. Knuckles never learns that Sonic used to not speak, because he was under the impression they were just busy with Eggman and that Sonic was simply a hedgehog of few words until he got closer to people.

Shadow only learns about it when he meets Classic Sonic. The time shenanigans is also how Nicky was becoming Sonic.

Until his mom, Brenda, and his sister, Anita, come surprise visit them. The team had kind of settled down, mostly to give Tails an actual workshop. Afterall, between the Tornado, Shadow's chaos control, and Sonic's running they had no issues getting to wherever was getting attacked.

When Amy opens the door to see Brenda, she's confused, but excited. Before she can say anything wrong, Sonic invites them in, telling them he'll go get Nicky, and pulling Amy to the side to ask her to just go along with whatever Nicky says. She doesn't get the chance to ask how he knows where Nicky is and why his mom thinks he's at their house, but she agrees.

Sonic goes to tell Tails, warning him about Any possibly blowing their entire cover.

As Nicky, Sonic puts on glasses and an oversized sweater. He changes his iconic shoes (with a non small amount of reluctance) and takes things slow.

Amy is... Conflicted. She's happy to see Nicky, truly, but she's not happy that he's lying to his mom and sister. She doesn't understand why he's doing it, as to her it doesn't seem like him. She remembers him a lot... Meeker. Smart and nerdy, but kind of a coward. She'd always thought he'd have gotten along with Tails if they'd had the chance to properly meet, and there they are. Acting like they've been friends for years.

When Shadow shows up, Sonic thinks he's going to fuck it all up. Amy accidentally saves him by introducing him as Nicky, to which Tails explains he's the one that deals all their tech related problems and needs.

Shadow sees through it, raises an eyebrow, and asks if they're fucking with him. They assure him not. Then Brenda and Anita introduce themselves and Shadow takes Sonic aside to get a better explanation. Which he gets in the form of panicked rambling. Shadow agrees not to rat him out, but he also doesn't agree to cover for him.

Shadow tells everyone that he was supposed to meet Sonic for a run, but that the hedgehog bailed on him to go help the Chaotix. Internally, Sonic cusses him out because he knows he'll have to pay then for their silence.

Amy tries to get him to stay, as they'd made plans with Knuckles to have a picnic nearby, but Shadow claims to have some GUN paperwork to deal with. Sonic knows it's bullshit. He knows Shadow doesn't do paperwork.

But she convinced Brenda and Anita to join them.

Nicky meets Knuckles, gets his hand fake crushed (which he lets his mom bandage and ice) and yells at Anita when she says she wants to be part of Team Sonic, too.

Of course, that's when Eggman attacks. Seeing Nicky, Eggman immediately targets him. For old times' sake, he says.

Any tries to contact Sonic but he's not available, so she contacts Chaotix, but they say he's not with them. Tails tells her to call Shadow, and she -reluctantly- does.

Shadow helps save Sonic, making it clear that he's going to hold this over his head forever.

Anita is distraught.

Amy asks Shadow why he said Sonic was with Chaotix.

Sonic tries punching Shadow for his shitty lie. He doesn't succeed, as he's determined not to use his speed, and Shadow gets him in a headlock. Calmly, he says he doesn't know why Sonic would lie to him, but the hedgehog is not his problem. He lets go of Nicky, who gets fussed over by his mom.

Tails, who's been keeping this secret for years, decides that throwing Sonic under the bus to save Nicky some grief is justified. So, he tells them that Sonic has severe social anxiety and does do well meeting new people in these kinds of circumstances. And that he's never met parents of friends he's made, and he couldn't face them.

On the one hand, Sonic gets upset at Tails for telling everyone about it because yeah it's kind of based on the truth. But on the other, it's his mom and sister (and Amy but she kind of already knew. Shadow also knew but not the reason behind it all. So he knows he's going to have to answer questions about it) so he pushes it down.

This is all I have for now actually lol idk how this fic would continue, but I think this start is kinda good. Maybe Eggman fucked up too much and Sonic reveals himself. Idk.

You're in Atlanta with your boyfriend. Well, he is needed here for filming, mainly for the collaboration with another youtube group managed by other management.

You came along because he wanted you to come. If Chunkz was to work then he wanted to come home being with you in the place the both of you will be staying at temporarily while being in Atlanta.

You took a leave from your work and you packed your things mainly essentially.

Staying at the place was really bad. You've got nothing else to do besides waiting for him to come back after filming and being a guest on streams.

Chunkz told you that you should go for a stroll at some mall for shopping, have your nails or hair done sometimes but strolling by yourself wasn't your thing anyways.

You're barely sleeping one morning, the sun shining can be seen through outside giving a sign that it's nearly morning.

Knowing that you're alone kinda makes you a bit lazy to do anything since it's early morning.

Your boyfriend is gone to another filming and hasn't came home since yesterday due to their filming for another last to fall asleep but this time they are collaborating with AMP squad.

He's probably gonna come home sooner or later this morning. If the challenge is still going, then they have been awake for literally over 24 hours by now.

Well technically, you've woken up an hour ago. Already finished making and eating breakfast and deciding to go back to bed since you have nothing else to do.

Feeling a movement in the bed, shifting at the other side opposite to yours. You opened your eyes seeing your boyfriend now laying besides you.

You turned to face him and just stared at him, due to just waking up and well, he's just nice to stare at sometimes to admire his face. He noticed you woke up and now staring at him.

"Did I woke you up? Sorry bout that" He said.

You shook your head slightly in response as he moved closer to you now that he knows you're awake.

"Was barely sleeping when you came in" You said.

"How's work? Did you win?" You asked being curious about his work since he had mentioned about a competition about lasting not to sleep.

"Nah I didn't, but I got 5 grand on me as an offer to be eliminated" He smiled lazily due to tiredness.

"That's a fair trade, half the price" You said.

"I think Niko and Aj have a high chance of winning" He said. He really loves his brothers so much and you loved him for that.

"I know that Niko is not giving up" You said. Having too much confidence to your friends.

"I'm in the top 4 though, I'm cool with that, you know what I mean?" He said with a proud smile.

"You did great, you should be proud" You said to him. He rarely wins challenge but that's besides the point.

He hummed in response. He wrapped his arms around you and pulled you closer to him. He missed you next to him already after a long day of not seeing each other.

"There's breakfast in the kitchen if you want to eat, I can reheat it for you" You said to him.

"Nah, I'm not feeling it" He said, nuzzling his head closer to your neck.

"Go get some sleep then, you deserve it" You said.

"I'll take you out for anything you want later when I wake up" He said barely audible.

"We're going shopping then? Nando's afterwards" You stated not moving, letting him embrace you.

"Yeah" He said, fully closing his eyes by now.

Usually you'd argue about him always paying for you whenever you guys go out. It's not that you didn't want to be treated sometimes but him paying everytime doesn't sound fair when you can really afford to pay for yourself.

You always point out that you can pay for yourself but he always said that it's on him, saying that he initiated it then he's going to pay for it.

It'll basically end up as a pointless argument and then he'll have his way eventually. You didn't have energy to argue about it now but maybe later.

You let him get some sleep and ended up falling asleep as well. Sleeping in peace next to your man.

At least you'll have some time with him spending money for both of your fits and have a nice date together. That's a story for another time. 

- end -

Hello lovelies!!! So, I am super sorry for ghosting for days lmao HHAHAAHAHA but I am here now.

Chapter 15: Wizard Duel🌟⚡👑

Chapter 14

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

The group carefully continued to make their way to safety. "You sure he'll be alright back there?" Gabo asked Asha.

"Magnifico's crafty, but Star's more powerful than he realizes. He can at least hold him off long enough for us get back to safety."

Gabo hesitated a bit thinking about the fight. "Yeah....but Magnifico doesn't play fair..."

Magnifico gave his staff a twirl and quickly shot a blast of green magic at the starboy. The star instantly dodged it with a backflip. "Ohhh, so close! Wanna try again?" He chuckled.

The man growled in frustration and shot another beam of magic at Star.

Again, Star dodged it, and the blast hit one of the town's main mirrors, fracturing it. Magnifico gasped seeing he could no longer see his handsome face in the reflection, or anything else for that matter.

"We just fixed that mirror, you glowing brat!!" He yelled.

The star laughed as he took a look at the shattered mirror. He could see part of his own broken reflection as well as the king's. "I don't know much about mirrors, but I'd say its an improvement!"

Another blast surprised Star as he just barely dodged it in time. That was a close one... He quickly flew out of range so he wouldn't get blasted again. This was followed by another series of magic blasts, mirroring his previous fight with the star.

"Why. Won't. You. Just. DIE?!" Magnifico's voice grew more and more furious with each blast of magic. He only stopped momentarily to rest, since the consecutive blasts were taking some strength out of him.

When the king wasn't looking, the star landed gently on top of his head. Not as a parrot, but as a large rooster. He nestled in as if he was making himself a nest. "You know, you're so serious all the time. Its always 'Bring me the star! Bring me the wishes! I will have my revenge!'" With each time he mocked the king in an annoying tone and pecked him on the forehead.

"You need to get a hobby that doesn't involve being a monster or stealing from others. Your magic is even kinda boring!"

The man had enough of Star's rambling. "GET OFF ME!" he screamed as he attempted to grab Rooster!Star, but he ended up flying away. "What would you know about how to use magic? You have limitless potential in yours and yet you decide to play games like a child!"

Another blast nearly hit the star, causing him to fly quickly to safety. But the blast ended up destroying a bust of the king that a loyal resident made in his honor. The more he blasted, the more damage he was doing to the area.

"At least I can control mine, Maggy! Hehehe!" Star snickered. "Might as well quit now, while you got it easy!"

Easy? EASY?! It had the audacity to not only mock his magic, but also their battle?! This had to be the most challenging and annoying prey he's had to deal with. The king's blood was near boiling, but he wouldn't be mocked for long.

Not only that, it seemed that the star had actually started using his powers more properly, as if someone taught him how to focus his transformations...

He was prepared to resume blasting his magic, but then another idea popped into his head. Something that would shut up that star...

"You want magic, fool? I'll give you magic." He growled as he gripped the staff tightly in his hand, charging it up with as much magic as possible. He then whipped around and aimed his staff towards the teenage group.

Star's face fell as he realized what the king was about to do. He flew down and transformed with a flash of light.

Right as he took the blast, the king was met with a powerful shove, making the evil magic just barely miss the group by a hair.

Simon shielded the others from the blast the best he could, as the impact sent splinters of wood and stone everywhere. "Is everyone all right?" He asked, as he took a look at everyone.

"Yes, we're fine, Simon. Thanks for protecting us." Dahlia quickly assured him.

"Hey, don't you see the hat? I am Mrs. Nesbit!" Flazino mumbled, then fell back to sleep.

"...Yeah, I wouldn't exactly call him fine." Hal commented on Flazino's mental state.

"Is the king mad about us over there? I can't even tell from here!" Safi asked as he fought back a troublesome sneeze.

"Dunno. I can check though. I'm sure he's not mad at us!" chimed in Dario. Being the tallest of the group, he stood up and took a look at the fight from a distance. He saw a large yellow deer in a fighting stance as the king had been knocked clear into a wall, making a hole in it.

The man gripped both sides of the wall and emerged looking like an angry bull. His eyes flashed a venomous green as he looked directly at Dario.

Dario instantly ducked and looked like he had just seen a ghost. "Yep, he's mad. We gotta go!"

"Not without Star, we're not leaving him behind!" Asha scolded him. Even with a mad king breathing down their necks, she refused to leave the star.

Gabo rolled his eyes. "Well, I hope you have some magic of your own, sister. Because we can't exactly fight magic with the power of friendship!"

Gabo didn't intend to give Asha an idea, but he did.

Magnifico turned his attention back to the star as he pushed the rather heavy rubble out his path. He desired the star's power now more than ever. Not just so he and his wife could have infinite magic to conquer the world.

Right now all he could think about was the pleasure he would get from killing the star on the spot. The man looked at the starboy with newfound hatred for his existence. At the moment, only one word came to mind as he spoke. "Abomination."

Star's eyes narrowed at the king as he pawed the ground, returning a harsh word of his own. "Stupid Head."

With lighting like speed, his semi-large antlers collided with the king's staff, causing the two of them to be locked in a battle of strength. Deer!Star was attempting to break the staff with his antlers, but it didn't seem to be budging. The star didn't have experience in fighting, but he knew if he stopped now, his friends were toast. "I won't let you hurt them! Or anyone else!" he shouted at the king

Magnifico on other hand was getting furious with how long with battle was going. He never imagined getting the magic would be this difficult—or stubborn. He pushed back against the magical deer, forcing him to slide backwards. "You're even more foolish than I thought...." the king grunted.

As the magic between them kept growing stronger, the animation style on two began to change. Going from the traditionally animated, to a more sharp, anime-esque style. Magnifico and Star now had green and yellow outlines on them as their magic was constantly flaring.

Magnifico was growing tired of this match, so he quickly grabbed Deer!Star's antlers and threw him into a pile of barrels. "Don't tell me you're getting attached to more people?" He laughed and started walking towards the rubble in defiance. "You don't belong here, and you never will. The only thing you're good for is power. Why else would some peasant call on you?"

He tightly gripped his staff to stab the star who was still down, this time to get the job done. Deer!Star "And I will take that power...." The staff slowly raised into the air. His voice echoed with pent up rage. "Even if I have to take it from your yellow corpse!"

Right before the deed could be done, something flew over Magnifico's head and bounced against the wall. When the object fell it turned out to be just an ordinary apple. Caught off guard, the king turned and saw Dario with his arm extended out. The rest of the teens were further back and hiding behind a stall.

Dario sheepishly grinned at the king.

Gabo on the other hand, was ready to blow. "You....missed? How could you miss?! HE WAS THREE FEET FROM YOU!!" He shouted at the lanky teen.

"My bad!" Dario laughed uncomfortably.

Magnifico had the most confused expression you could imagine at the whole thing. Then he realized, that was the whole point. When he turned, the star wasn't a deer anymore, but instead a-

"KANGAROO! He actually did it!" Dario laughed, before Bazeema pulled him away.

(Wasn't expecting a Rescuers Down Under reference were you? Neither was I. 😅)

Star quickly gave the king a few quick jabs to the stomach, making him jump back far enough to avoid another attack. "Come on! You want to fight hand to...paw?" He chided the king as he pretend to box. (Ignoring the fact he still had no idea how to actually fight)

He jumped forward gave him a hard swipe of his tail that sent him sliding further backwards in pain.

Magnifico growled. "I'm not falling for anymore of your asinine games! I am the king of Rosas and I will not be mocked by a childish star with amateur magic!" he absorbed more magic into his hand and grabbed the now marsupial star by his neck.

The king was even stronger than before, the star could feel the evil magic radiating off of the king, it was almost unbearable.

"Once I'm done with you, the rest of Asha's traitors are next. I can finally wipe that smile off your face as I kill them!" The man beginning to sound more like a madman with the more power he absorbed.

However, Kangaroo!Star had enough strength to give Magnifico a good strong kick, forcing him to fly across the ground. Star was beginning to feel tired, realizing the Nan had drained some of his magic again. How was he going to beat this guy long enough for everyone to get away?

Usually he came up with some good plans, but he was to distracted by the king slowly getting back to think of anything!

His left ear twitched as he heard Asha call his name. She was still with the others as they prepared themselves to be distractions again. "Star! His power comes from the staff! Change into a snake!"

He didn't quite understand how that was supposed to work, but he did it. Once he transformed into a giant slinky snake, he asked "Now what?"

The poor star was a bit slow to grasp things at times, but this was a terrible one. The entire group shouted in unison: "Tie him up!"

It finally clicked. "OH! GO IT!" He quickly slithered over to Magnifico and wrapped himself tightly around the king.

His exposed arms were quickly grabbed by a few of the teens, trying to keep the man from shooting anymore magic at them as he attempted to thrash himself free. "UNHAND ME YOU WORTHLESS PEASANTS!" Gabo grabbed the arm that held the staff, and tried to rip the crystal off. But there was a problem... "IT WON'T BUDGE!" Gabo exclaimed. "What did you use, evil super glue?"

Asha went over and tried to help Gabo get the thing off. Time was running out though, as the teens could feel that he was charging up his magic to blast them all at once. "If I'm going down, you're all coming with me!" The mad king threatened.

Before it could go off, a furry brown blur whizzed by the two teens and snatched the crystal off the staff. On the ground, Valentino turned and triumphantly showed the green crystal between his teeth.

"HA! THAT'S MY GOAT!" Gabo exclaimed. At least he didn't have to resort to stabbing the king's hand as his plan B. This was much better.

"Val, hit the crystal as hard as you can, its the only way to stop this!" Asha told her furry friend.

Valentino nodded and was about to hit the crystal with his front hooves, when he was pounced on by a lynx.

Sabor grinned wickedly as he looked down at his prey.

Asha ran to help the little got, but without thinking, she let Magnifico's arm go. "Asha, wait-" Gabo started to warn her, but it was too late.

Magnifico stored up enough of his magic to force everyone off of him. They went flying across the ground away from him.

"Okay, now he's really mad. Let's get out of here!" Dario advised as he scrambled to get away. The others soon followed him, and took Asha with them. Not wanting to leave Valentino behind, Gabo swiftly kicked Sabor off of the goat, sending him flying into a sack of flour. Part of him felt good to get back at that cat for giving him his facial scar.

Asha grabbed Valentino, but there was no sign of the crystal.

"No time to waste, let's go!" Hal said as she pushed Asha forward and back to the rest of the teens.

Star fell to the ground and changed back to his human form, this time actually feeling more of the pain from the king's magic as he held his chest in pain.

A flour coated Sabor limped over to Magnifico and coughed up the green crystal like a hairball.

The king had to ignore the cat slobber and just put the crystal back in its rightful place on his staff. "About time you made yourself useful to me." He commented, not even looking at the cat in the eye.

The lynx growled as he glared at Magnifico, but he knew better than to anger him. So he just scowled and walked away back to his true master.

The starboy was still on the ground, but he was beginning to regain consciousness. Magnifico couldn't let that happen.

"Its time to end this right here and now. Before you get any other smart ideas. Time to claim our power!" his voice boomed. As the end of his staff began to glow a bright green, brighter than it was previously.

Magnifico grabbed the staff with both hands and swirled the wand in a giant circular motion. He repeated the motion over and over until the green circle became complete.

The circle began humming and moaning, as if it was a giant creature inside. It would be rather fitting since Magnifico was gripping his staff like a leash, trying to keep it under control. "Try to fly your way out of this one, brat!" He mocked the star with a wicked grin.

Star slowly opened his eyes and felt himself being dragged forward. He looked up and saw a giant green black hole, and it was pulling him in!

"Time to fly!" Star exclaimed as he turned into a parrot and flew off to finally join Asha and the other teens.

Only, as he was flying, he noticed that he didn't seem to be going anywhere. In fact, he felt like he was going backwards without trying. He looked behind him and saw that he was still being pulled backwards.

The star changed his form again, this time to his horse form. But he was still slowly being pulled away.

"OH, COME ON!" the star exclaimed in frustration as he rapidly changed his animal forms into something heavy enough to get away. With each failed attempt, he was panicking more and more. In desperation he tried just about any animal: a deer, lion, tiger, bear-

"Oh my! Having a bit trouble are we?" The king lightly mocked the star. "Where are your jokes now?" Only the king was laughing now.

Finally, Star turned into an elephant, which stopped his slow descent into the black hole. But he couldn't celebrate just yet, he still had to escape!

Elephant!Star started marching forward and fighting against Magnifico's pull. "Gotta...get back...to Asha." He grunted as he slowly took large steps forward.

Magnifico's eyes widened with horror, that thing was STILL fighting back?! And he was getting away again? No, not now, not when he was so close to his prize!

The magical tug-of-war was interrupted by Queen Amaya who stepped onto the scene right on cue.

(In case you're wondering, Sabor is just sort of in the background, he's just had enough of all this 😂)

"Darling, I could use a hand here! Our victory is quite literally walking away!" Magnifico said in a annoyed tone.

"As always, Mi rey..." She started as she pulled a small yet familiar red vial from her sleeve. "I've come prepared."

Her voice was calm, as if there wasn't a giant yellow elephant standing before as she walked to the other side of the black hole.

"This should put you in your place..." Amaya quietly threatened the star. She threw the vial directly onto the back of Elephant! Star, covering him in a red and making him cough.

"Gross, what was that?" He said, disgusted after the mist cleared. "Wait...I'm feeling kind of weird..." Star mumbled as he felt his entire body began to shake rapidly.

In a bright red flash, Star was instantly back to his human form. "No! Nononono!" He panicked and tried to turn into the elephant again, only this time, nothing happened. No matter what animal he thought of, he couldn't transform into anything! "WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!"

"Oh, that was simply a spell had I been brewing for a while now." Amaya giggled as she enjoyed seeing Star in distress. "Your animal antics have been getting in our way long enough, so I made a spell put a stop it long enough for you to enter the crystal."

And with that she walked past him as if he was nothing more than a gnat.

Star couldn't see her face, but he could feel her glaring at him. Without his animal powers, he had to muster whatever strength he had into flying away.

Magnifico crackles as he reaches his victory. He decided to mock the star one more time. "Don't worry, its nice and roomy so it'll be like you're back in space! It'll feel just like home!"

Star's mind snapped back to his time in space. All he could see was Earth and the near total blackness of space.

How he wanted to go there.

How he wanted to meet humans.

How he didn't want to be alone.

"YOU'RE NOT SENDING ME BACK!" Star screamed as he charged up more of his magic and flew harder than he did before.

But as hard as he tried, it was getting clear that it wasn't going to be enough for him.

Before he met his fate, only thing was in his mind.

Asha, I'm sorry...

As this was happening, we cut back to the teens nearly in the clear. They had nearly reached the pathway to Bazeema's hideout when Asha suddenly stopped.

Dahlia was the first to notice. "Asha? What's wrong?"

The girl looked behind her where the fight was still going. She could feel as if something was wrong. "I have to go back."

"Are you nuts, woman? Why? Magnifico will turn you ashes in a second!" Gabo exclaimed. As much he liked causing problems, this was one fight he was actually glad to get away from...

"Look, I just need to go. Star needs help." That was all she said before dashing off.

Dahlia's jaw dropped in disbelief. "How do you even know that? He's literally made of magic!" She shouted to her friend, but she was already gone.

Safi sneezed once again. "AAAAAACHOO!!" He looked at the rest of the teens as he sniffed. "You're all thinking the same stupid idea, aren't you?"

Back into the magical fight, Star was inching closer to the portal, which was slowly taking some of his magic. While he was in absolute terror, Magnifico was overjoyed.

"I believe it's finally realized it's defeat! Shall we take our prize together, darling?" He offered.

Amaya was about to accept when Sabor pulled on her dress to get her attention. She looked down and saw the lynx hissing as he pointed to the target: Asha was coming in fast.

This girl was becoming more and more of a nuisance everyday. Since her husband already had the star, Amaya decided to take advantage of the situation and deal with Asha herself. Or more accurately, make a deal with Asha.

Amaya slowly raised her hands into the air and with a quick strike, she covered the girl in green smoke, blinding her.

When Asha opened her eyes, she was no longer in danger. Heck, she wasn't even in Rosas anymore!

We then see the Hamlet has been restored to its former state, only now it looks brighter than ever with life. The people there seemed be more joyful and not constantly looking over their shoulder for an attack. They looked...happy?

Asha knew this had to be an illusion, but it all felt so real to her.

At that moment, Amaya gently placed her hand on her shoulder. But Asha was so immersed, she didn't even realize the queen was there until she spoke. "Do you like what you see? Isn’t this whole life better than running fear for the rest of your life?"

She was back home in the Hamlet with her mother, saba, Valentino. Usually its a small gathering at their house when it came to Sabino's music, but with the addition of the seven teens and even Flazino joining them. This was something she always imagined for her family and community: To be safe and free.

Amaya continued, "I must say, Asha. When you dream, you don't just dream for yourself. You dream for those around you. Quite admirable."

Asha was beginning to fall into the trap, as she smiled seeing everyone happy together. Her smile slowly faded the longer she looked at the scenario. Something was missing... or rather someone.

She turned to Amaya. "Where's Star?"

"Oh dear, I thought it would be so clear." The queen had a slight mock in her tone as she explained. "You can have your family and your life back. All you have to do to make this reality, is to hand over star. Forever. You can forget any of this ever happened, and live a peaceful life you've always wanted for your people. I say its a fair deal, yes? You're almost there."

For a moment, Asha looked back at the illusion of her family and new friends being together, genuinely being at peace to live a normal life again. But not everyone she loved was in the picture.

Asha finally glared at the Queen with determined eyes. "That's not the life I want. Not without him."

The queen sighed deeply. "I was hoping you would be smarter in this situation. But alas, you are still young. There's a lot of your father's spirit in you..." She then tried one last trick as she approached Asha.

"Its sweet that you care for it so much, but you seem to treat it like it means more than a friend to you. Frankly, he's more like a pet."

That made Asha completely regain control of her senses as she clenched her fist. "My Star is not a pet!"

She quickly dashed passed Amaya and through the fake Hamlet. She didn't stop until she emerged from the illusion cloud. The illusion itself dissipated and the scene

Amaya growled as she pulled a hidden dagger from her sleeve. "Get back here you-" her threat was cut short as she fell over something small and furry. She looked behind her and saw a little goat stick her tongue out at her, then ran in Asha's direction.

Back near the magic black hole, Star had run out of strength to keep flying. The thing he feared the most might be coming for him after all...

Just as Star was getting sucked in, he felt a hand grab his arm and stop him. He opened his eyes and saw Asha pulling with all her might to break him free.

"What are you doing?! You're gonna get sucked in too!" Star exclaimed. "Just get away while you can!"

Asha grabbed Star's arm and pulled with both hands now. She could feel herself already getting slowly pulled in, but she kept trying to free her friend. "No!" She yelled back. "I'll never leave you behind, I just couldn't do that to you!"

At that moment, the star felt something change within him as he looked at Asha. Something that was different from his adoration of Earth. While Star had never experienced it for himself, it was the growth of something he thought he would never feel in his life:

Love.

It would take him just a little bit longer to realize it. And with this new feeling he immediately grabbed Asha's wrist with his free hand and attempted to pull himself away from the black hole.

"Its no use, little one! The star is ours!" Magnifico cackled as he was ready to achieve his victory.

Suddenly, Asha could feel something wrap around her waste. She turned her head and saw Dahlia attempting to pull her back. "Don't let go of him! You can do this!" Dahlia encouraged her as the wind began to howl louder.

Behind Dahlia was Gabo, holding on as tight as he could to her and pulling back. "You better not die on us, Asha! You still got a monarchy to tear down!" He yelled, hoping that they couldn't see the tears in his eyes forming.

Behind Gabo was Dario, followed by Hal, Safi, Bazeema, Simon and little Valentino pulling on Simon's shirt with all his strength to help.

"Amaya, I could use some extra hands here!" Magnifico said impatiently. He could feel the magic was beginning to cease from his staff, and he didn't know how much longer it would last.

"Do. Not. Rush. Me." Amaya actually sounded annoyed with him for the first time. She grabbed onto the staff alongside her husband while Sabor clenched a part of it with his paw, contributing what little he could.

As both sides were pulling with all their might, the combination of magic kept building up until-

BOOM! 💥

Both groups were flown backwards due to the force of the blast.

As everyone tried to shake off the magical explosion and get to their feet, Asha had successfully pulled Star out of the royals reach. When they had landed, Star had ended up wrapping his arms around Asha after she freed him. When she sat up, Star was still holding onto her.

"That was close...are you alright, Star?" Asha asked.

Asha didn't hear an answer out of Star. Instead he just kept holding her and could feel his arms shaking. It was as if he wanted to keep her from leaving. "....Star?" She tried asking again.

This time, the star changed his into his familiar mouse form. He still didn't speak, but it was more clear that he was shaking out of fear. He didn't even look up at Asha.

"Come on, we gotta go before they get back up!" Hal warned her as she helped her up.

Unfortunately, there wasn't time to ask questions. Instead, Asha gently held him in her hands and ran as fast as she could with the others.

Behind them, she could hear the king's voice filled with rage. "You traitorous brats! If you ever want to see your family again, you better bring that star to us at the ceremony. Or their deaths will be your head!"

He aimed his staff at the group, only to find that the crystal at the top was missing. "Don't tell me you managed to drop it." Amaya chided him.

The man looked up and saw Bazeema quickly following behind the group. She turned, and was holding the crystal in her hand. "I'm sorry, but I really needed to take this!" She didn't need to apologize to the homicidal villains, but she did anyway.

The king rolled his eyes and threw he staff to the side. "Fine, we can handle you with our own hands!" He announced as he held his wife's free hand.

"Now there's an idea I agree with!" Amaya agreed. She prefered this method than always relying on that staff anyway.

A sickly green blast of magic was headed straight towards the teens, prepared to kill them in the spot. They had almost no time to react!

Simon leaped in front of the fleeing group and slammed down a knight's shield to the ground, blocking the royal's magical attack just in time.

"Keep going! I can hold them off for a minute!" Simon grunted as he pushed with all his might against the shield.

Gabo came back and grabbed the back of his shirt. "Ooooh no you don't! We don't need another sacrifice moment! Just hurry up and come with us!"

"I'm going to protect everyone in Rosas even if its against our own rulers!" Simon yelled back. Then in a last feat of strength, he punched the shield into the ground, making it stay in place as the magic blast continued to hit the object.

When he was sure it was secure he finally joined the others. However, his eyes were looking more tired than before.

The king and queen ran out of energy and had to cease in their attack. Amaya was tired, but fine. However, Magnifico looked like he hadn't slept in weeks as he fell to his knees in exhaustion.

She took her husband's face in her hands. He looked slightly pale after expelling so much magic. "Dear, you need rest. You've done more than enough." Both her face and tone was filled with concern.

Magnifico gave her a weak smile. "I appreciate your concern, Amaya."

He had enough strength to get back on his feet. As looked in the direction where the teens left, his thoughts were consumed with revenge. Not just on the pathetic star, but also Asha and the traitors of traitors of Rosas.

They won't make a fool of him again, especially not tonight...

"But I've had enough of these games. Before the ceremony, I believe it's time we turn to a friend on the other side..." The king's voice grew deeper as the camera zooms in on his green eyes.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Actual footage of my hands after writing for over a month:

After a whole month of an absence, I FINALLY FINISHED A NEW CHAPTER! 😭 Believe it or not, as long as this chapter is, I still had to cut it short! The next song was meant to be in this chapter, but because work got in the way and hadn't written in so long, I decided to wait until the next chapter. But rest assured, the biggest parts are coming still, and just in time for the anniversary of the story!

I also have been obsessed with the Sonic movies and franchise lately and its spiraled into me making an AU around Silver the Hedgehog and his spin off story, so that also took over my mind too, lol.

So back to this story, I really wanted to show the growth of Asha and the teens together since the movie had them just be friends from the start without explanation. And even then, they just didn't have enough chemistry for me to get why I should care about them. They haven't been friends for years like in the movie, so I wanted to build up their trust in each other and to Star and Asha, even with Dahlia's betrayal. And at least they would ALL have some kind of purpose multiple times in the story. Maybe friendship really is magic! 😂

I wanted this chapter to be a big moment for not only Simon to prove he wants to be a knight, but also where Star fully fell for Asha, but he wouldn't realize it until someone told him why he's been feeling different about her. Though he thinks Asha only sees him as a friend...😅 LOTS of things are going to happen to Star and Asha and most of it is good, but you'll probably want some tissues near the end of the story!

It feels good to back to writing and the Wish Rewrite fandom, and to have some fun with this AU again! Thanks so much for your patience, and I promise the next one won't take as long! 😂

Thanks for reading!

Rispale was raised by his biological mom, a Miqo'te named H'ruhi. She used to be part of a tribe, and was madly in love with the Nunh, but as she failed to conceive a child, she decided to give up on this dream and instead pursue research in Sharlayan (and as they lived in Limsa, Old Sharlayan was easier reached than the colony in the Dravanian Hinterlands, so she boarded a boat). Turned out, her Nunh had managed to knock her up finally, when she had completely given up on it already. She only found out that she is pregnant once she already started her research though, and as the baby would be born in Sharlayan it would get citizen rights and everything, so she decided to raise her daughter alongside her research. Colour her surprise when she gave birth to a Tia. Of course she still loved her son deeply and raised him to the best of her abilities, even with all the challenges that came. One of the challenges was their shared personality trait of not wanting to worry the other, so they often kept troubles and problems to themselves and waited for the other to come speak to them first, which made the relationship a little neglectful, I suppose. H'ruhi also clocked early on that her son is autistic, but in a world where there are no diagnosis, she didn't know what to do, she just knew that her son struggled with social norms and sometimes would get lost in stuff that other people don't do. In reality, the two of them would have needed to have a long talk about everything, but sadly H'ruhi died of an illness and didn't even recognize Rispale anymore before the end... When it comes to Rispale's dad, he is or was an acting Nunh (depends on if the game is giving us the Nunh of the H clan). Rispale doesn't know him, and would not see him as dad when he met him. But he knows that he looks exactly like him, minus his hair and fur colour (which he inherited from his Mom). If Rispale would ever meet his dad, his dad would think that Rispale is very similar to H'ruhi personality wise.

Who are your wol(oc)'s parents? Biological or found.

What are they like?

Hemisi hugged herself worriedly as her parents approached her. Ganondorf wasn't entirely sure what was bothering his daughter - things had been tense since the attack, but he had just ensured peace by swearing fealty to Rauru. This was supposed to be a moment of reprieve, a time for his family to not worry as he prepared for the future.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Nabooru asked before he could.

"I haven't found Link," Hemisi said, her voice anxious. "I've been looking everywhere for him. The guards won't really tell me much."

Ganondorf fel this ire rise. The guards likely were trying to protect Link, but they had no right to refuse information to the princess of the Gerudo. Such a slight would not be ignored. Not to mention he too wanted to know where the boy was.

"Leave this to me," he said crisply, walking away.

It didn't take much time (or threatening glares) to get what he needed. Link, apparently, was on a place called Thunderhead Island, one of the Zonai lands in the sky.

"Thunderhead Island?" Nabooru repeated after Ganondorf reported back. "We'd need a construct to get us up there, right?"

"Yeah," Hemisi answered. "Link's told me about the islands lots of times. Not many are allowed on them - it's usually just the royal family and the Sheikah."

"They'll allow me," Ganondorf rumbled, crossing his arms. "I am a king."

"Yes, but that island is also fairly volatile," Nabooru argued. "I'm better with lightning magic. I should go."

Personally, Ganondorf was far more inclined to go retrieve the boy himself, but he didn't contest the matter. Nabooru seemed rather set on the issue, and some things weren't worth arguing with her. As much as he admired her determination, he also knew she would fight him for so long that Hemisi would probably just sneak off to do the deed herself, and neither parent wanted that. The girl's abilities with lightning were formidable, but she would likely cause trouble if she went alone.

"Very well," he conceded. "We'll be waiting down here."

Nodding, Nabooru grabbed a cloak and headed towards the nearest construct. At activated at her approach, acknowledging in a mechanically musical chime, "May I help you?"

"I need to get to Thunderhead Island," Nabooru said.

The construct's reply was quick as ever. "That place is restricted."

"I am the queen of the Gerudo," Nabooru replied. "I have special access."

The construct paused a moment, processing, before noting, "I will need authorization for you to go there."

"This is an emergency," Nabooru argued. "You can speak to King Rauru about it afterwards if you please, I don't care, but one of my family is up there and I need to find him."

Although the construct was programmed to gate keep, she also knew giving a sense of urgency or danger would override its usual algorithm. Predictably, the construct questioned, "Is someone in danger?"

"I don't know," she answered honestly. "That's what I'm trying to find out."

The Zonai machine was silent for a moment before giving an admission. "This line of logic is acceptable. I will transport you to Thunderhead Island and report the matter to King Rauru."

"You do that," she sighed. It didn't really matter of Rauru knew. Nabooru wasn't exactly keen on causing a stir within hours of Ganondorf swearing his loyalty, especially given their history, but something Hemisi's anxiety and Link's very obvious disappearance was definitely concerning. Considering the ceremony that had just happened and the celebration that had followed, Link should have been one of the first people they saw.

The construct extended its hand in front of a stone circle, and the familiar green hue of Zonai technology activated, glowing in the circle's center. Nabooru stepped forward, letting it transport her, closing her eyes as her world shifted. The air grew much colder, even more frigid than she was expecting, and she suddenly felt a little short of breath. Goddess, she'd thought the Highlands were chilly. Why was the air so much stranger here? She was shocked into opening her eyes as her cloak was immediately bombarded by a wave of rain, thunder rumbling all around her. A circular fountain of water was in front of her, surrounded by stone architecture. She walked forward, off the platform on the ground that had received her. She needed to set to work soon, already feeling a little lightheaded.

A few steps ahead it became apparent that this island wasn't just an island, but an entire chain of them. Nabooru glanced around hesitantly, looking for some kind of Zonai device to help transport her from place to place, and found none. What was Link doing here? Where was he?

Nabooru looked between pillars, on and under benches, until she'd thoroughly searched the island she was on and the few she could see. But a flash of blonde caught her attention just as she was starting to wonder if Ganondorf had been wrong, and she squinted against the rainfall to see a teenager sitting on the ground, knees tucked into his chest, wearing the attire of the palace guards combined with a headdress and Gerudo earrings gifted to him by his betrothed.

Clamping her jaw shut against the tremors that tried to make her teeth chatter, Nabooru wrapped herself more tightly in her cloak, she found a set of stairs that at least connected to this little island, moving quickly down them. Link, for whatever reason, chose to sit outside a small building, ignoring a construct nearby that was tending to a tree. The boy was soaked to the bone, red skin paint that usually adorned his exposed arm having long been washed away from his tan complexion. His red eyes were dull, hidden under platinum blonde plaits plastered to his forehead. The sparkling splendor of the Gerudo headband and earrings was dulled considerably, and his top knot was half undone in the rain.

"Link," Nabooru called a little loudly so she could be heard. "What are you doing out here?"

Link didn't seem to react all that much, or at least it wasn't apparent in this awful weather. But she heard him mutter, "You're not supposed to be here."

"Nor should you be here," Nabooru accused mildly, walking towards him. She paused short of reaching him, seeing him clam up even more. "News of our arrival has been known for at least a week. Yet on the day that Ganondorf creates peace between the Gerudo and Hyrule, you hide from us? Hemisi's been looking for you."

"Ganondorf attacked Hyrule." Link's words were sharp, dark. He was clearly still upset about the molduga assault.

Nabooru sighed. This really wasn't the place to be having this discussion - she was freezing and dizzy, and if he got any more soaked the boy would practically be a Zora. "Yes. He did. You know him, sweetheart. He likes to test his boundaries before he concedes to them. But he's conceded."

Link tucked his chin to his chest, looking away.

"Honey, the fight is over," Nabooru pressed on, stepping closer to him. "And for the first time, the Gerudo now have an alliance with Hyrule. We're a part of it - this would mean you and Hemisi don't have to hide your relationship from the public eye anymore, that there is nothing to hide anymore. This is a joyous occasion, not a reason to be moping in the rain. Come down with me so you can be with your family, love."

She finally cleared the distance between them, crouching down and putting a hand on his shoulder. Link glared moodily at the lands below, eye lashes dripping with moisture. Quietly, almost to himself, he said, "Ganondorf never concedes."

"Well, he did," Nabooru emphasized slowly. Link had not been included in the discussion of their attack on Hyrule, had been completely blindsided as Ganondorf had suggested he and Hemisi play and explore near the mines that day so they wouldn't be involved. Nabooru knew that as a member of the Sheikah tribe he would likely take it harder than most Hyrulians, but she hadn't expected quite the grudge he seemed to be holding. "Come on, love. You're freezing."

Lightning struck a small spire at the top of the building they were sitting near, making Nabooru straighten up and prepare for another strike. Thunder clapped so loudly it made her chest vibrate. Link sighed, slowly pushing to his feet. He must have been sitting for some time, swaying a little unsteadily, and Nabooru put a hand on his shoulder, pulling him inside the structure. Constructs were indoors, stoking a fire, and she approached one. "Can you take us back to the Royal Plateau?"

The little machine beeped in the affirmative, guiding them to a hover platform that sent them back to the originating island. Nabooru's hands were on Link's shoulders the entire time, feeling them tremble under her, and she pulled him close so they could share her cloak. His skin was ice cold, making her inhale sharply a little when he brushed against her exposed arms and abdomen. A headache was brewing in her forehead, and she was certainly ready to leave this dreary place.

When the pair teleported back, Ganondorf and Hemisi were there waiting for them.

"Link!" Hemisi exclaimed, rushing forward and dragging him into a hug. "You idiot, why are you soaking wet?! Where've you been?!"

"Hon, can you spare your robe?" Nabooru asked, still holding the boy to her.

Her husband complied without question, pulling off his dark outer robe and holding it out. The parents exchanged Link, one set of arms to the other, and the boy was wrapped up and held against Ganondorf quickly. He didn't argue, he didn't protest, he didn't speak as Hemisi bombarded him with questions. The king and queen exchanged a look, and the family moved towards their provided quarters in the palace.

Eventually, Link started to speak softly to his betrothed, seeming less agitated with her, and soon the two were both cuddling under Ganondorf's large garment. Nabooru moved to fetch servants so they could get him fresh clothes and some warm food, and Hemisi moved quickly to the task as well, saying she was going to grab towels.

That left Ganondorf and Link.

"So were you up there sulking the entire time since the assault?" Ganondorf finally said, getting to the point as he knelt down to the boy's eye level.

"No." Link's reply wasn't quite snappish, but it was certainly sharp, though not nearly as sharp as his eyes. Ganondorf smiled at the fire in them, the anger and force of will that refused to bow down to anything. "Just for your arrival."

"If you thought we wouldn't find you, you clearly don't know us as well as you should," Ganondorf noted with mild humor, pulling the robe over the boy's head to dry his hair. He carefully removed the pins and tie holding the top knot, tucking them into a pouch on his belt. Link didn't protest, though his gaze did drift to the floor, softening, showing the wound he'd been bearing in his heart. Ganondorf felt... more than a little exasperated, but he'd known the boy would be upset. Still... "Hold whatever grudge you wish against me, child, but do not share your ire with Hemisi. She didn't know about the attack. I suggested you two be near the mines that day for a reason."

Link sighed heavily, closing his eyes.

"The fighting is over," Ganondorf emphasized, putting weight in his voice to end this pointless adolescent moping. Then he smiled. "And now the world can know your place in our family."

The boy glanced up, hope shimmering in crimson orbs, tempered by an intelligence he often hid behind innocence and silence. "Why did you do it?"

"Why did I attack?"

"No. Why did you give up?"

"I don't give up," Ganondorf retorted a little irritatedly, pausing his ministrations.

"I know," Link immediately acknowledge firmly. "So why? You don't acknowledge defeat."

"Oh, Link," Ganondorf hummed with gentle amusement, proud of the boy's insight. He was going to make a good prince. But it would make the next months a little difficult if the king wasn't careful. "A strong warrior refuses to give up, but a wise one knows when he is defeated. I am both. It's pointless to fight a force you cannot win against."

Link still looked skeptical, confused. Ganondorf added, "How else could we build peace for you and Hemisi?"

His words seemed to catch the boy off guard. For a moment, Ganondorf really wondered if Link didn't actually think they cared, despite having spent over a year being welcomed into the family. For a moment, the king wondered if the boy really was that dull, or somehow he and his wife hadn't done something right. And then Link bit his lip, shivering, and hugged himself, clearly trying to contain emotion and not quite succeeding.

Ganondorf sighed, letting the boy be vulnerable for a moment. He pulled him close, and Link sank into the embrace, curled in against his chest.

Link would be a good prince. Ganondorf knew this. He just needed to hone the boy a little more, reassure him and teach him, let him enjoy his time with Hemisi. A war was brewing soon. It was best to enjoy this time while he could.

OC-tober Day 7, Day 8: Likes, Dislikes

Generally, Emri likes stuff that makes him feel safe and in control. Small spaces are good because he can see all the exits. Warm drinks/warm clothes etc. are good because warmth = survival.

Cats are just good. They purr.

And he dislikes things that make him feel unsafe, of course. Wide open spaces are hard to overlook and hide in. Loud = danger. Touch = pain. Conversations are scary because people lie and don't say what they mean and you can never really know their true intentions.

Also he's been living on his own in the wild for 20 years so his social skills aren't exactly, uh... present. At all.

Coda and Ichor! (Catacombtale Style!)

These two don't have a *ton* of interaction in the Main story, but since Ichor and Balance are the only two characters I've fully designed, Coda gets stuck next to him, haha!

BONUS art jumpscare:

These two actually exist in another project I'm working on too called Codex, which is basically just removing the UT aspects of Catacombtale and doing a lot more worldbuilding and character design!

Coda is older in Codex and is marked by an old God (which should get him jailed or killed, as it means for everyone else) but he hides it for years and years before he finally flees the complex he's living in to go confront the gods and stop their destructive path. Meanwhile Ichor is much the same, only he's much more ready and willing to help Coda without much prompting. Here he's also sort of a Koi Fish! (His brother is a Betta Fish)
