Hero/Villain writing 10, Part 2

this is technically like a prequel or something but it’s whatevs

Part 1

—

Villain watched from the open hallway above as his patrons meandered about with the party, his arms clasped behind his back. All was well in the pale yellow light.

Of course, he had been stuck in that standing position to watch over the party for what felt like hours, so he took a little walk.

Villain led himself down a darker hallway, the salty sea air thickening. A breeze drifted by, letting the lace curtains that led to the balcony fly in the wind.

He figured that, although his mansion is on free roam with the exception of a few entries, those being his personal rooms, not many people would be out on the far balcony. Aside from an excellent view of the sea, there weren’t many fun things out there. And yet, when he brushed the lace out of his way, his eyes caught a peculiar figure.

Villain thought it was a raven at first glance from the large sillouhette, but focusing in, it was a human. Their wide-bowl wine glass shimmered in the moonlight, and every now and then they swiveled the liquid in it around. A lighter color than the red wine Villain favored during the party, perhaps white wine.

Villain then noticed that their legs didn’t exactly connect with the ground- they were sat on the railing! He panicked for a moment, wondering if they were falling off- but it had been too long since and there was no sense of franticness from them, so he relaxed. Losing a patron at his party wouldn’t be a good look for him, especially at a Villain Party.... he cringed at the thought of other villains hunting him down, and made it his assignment to watch over this person so they never slipped.

Aside from Villain’s internal monologue, they didn’t seem to notice Villain at all. Villain had questioned if he actually sneaked outside to the balcony, because how does one not hear the footsteps of somebody behind them in such a quiet atmosphere as this? Villain almost didn’t want to interrupt them, they seemed so peaceful...

“Er- Hellooo,” he sang out.

The person gasped but then cut themselves off as they whipped their head around.

“Please do be careful around the bars, you could slip and fall. I will remain out here to make sure that doesn’t happen, okay?”

Their head shifted for a second before presumably looking back in Villain’s direction and nodding, turning back to face the sea.

Villain walked around their little friend to their front side and leaned against the railing, letting their friend’s featured flood onto him.

Pretty. A sharp jawline. Soft, clear skin to contrast. Shiny lips- had they lip gloss? A soft expression, and eyes as deep as he could say the sky- no color, as far as he could tell, reflected off them save the moon that glittered in them. Pristine black eyeliner that tilted up a tad and came at a point, very cat-like. Curly dark red hair, almost messy. It reflected like the blood often spilled of Villain’s victims. It swirled up and came to crash down onto the right side of their face, yet also shift up and into the wind. The left side was head-shaven.

They brandished a well-fit black tuxedo, fastened at the uppermost two buttons and the chest left open to show a white dress shirt. Now that Villain caught their neck, he noticed a dark patch. Not dark enough to match the tux, mind you, and obviously somewhat dulled by their skin color, but it seemed to be a tattoo. It just barely reached the dip in their collarbone but wrapped to the top of their shoulder. Villain briefly wondered what the tattoo could possibly be, and if he’d ever get to know what that tattoo looked like- but that included his friend undressing. He blushed- what an indecent thought about somebody you had just met! He shifted his gaze back to their face.

Their friend’s features were very charismatic. Welcoming, charming, something new. And yet, so old. Had Villain seen this person around the city before? They were practically picture-perfect- maybe a model... The way they threw their gaze off into the distance, their hair swaying in the ocean breeze, the way the moon lit up their face perfectly where Villain could make out almost every feature but their eyes- even to truly see their eyes, he’d have to be closer, and no way would he get that close to the face of a man so pretty and embarrass himself so... No, he’s the host of the party! He can’t just go sticking his nose in other people’s faces to capture all their features.

Villain’s glance shifted between most of the features- prefect. The way their friend’s lips curled up into a slight smirk- actually, while he stared, it did smile for a moment. Their friend turned to look at them curiously.

“Ah- a-a-I wasn’t staring!” Villain frantically turned away. He heard a small laugh- “Tcheheheh...”- and looked back bashfully. Of course, the one thing he hadn’t wanted to do, he did it anyway. How embarrassing... “I’m sorry, s-“

A realization dawned on Villain. For being so rude towards his ‘friend’, he didn’t even know their name!

“A-actually, I was, uh, um-” Villain stuttered nervously. He looked up at his friend, who stared at them with wide eyes. “Wondering if... I could get a name?”

That gave his friend pause for a bit. They looked out into the ocean, then around, but nothing seemed to interest them. “What confuses you, sir?”

Their eyebrows furrowed and looked at Villain, then pointed to their own mouth with a white-gloved hand.

“.. Huh? Mouth?”

They shook their head, then flipped their hand while also pointing at their mouth.

“Oral? Uh... T- talk?”

They nodded. Finally, getting somewhere.

“Your name is... Talk?”

They shook their head. Villain’s shoulders slumped. They then crossed both their pointer fingers into an X.

“Y- err.... No talk?”

They nodded.

“You... You don’t talk.”

They nodded again.

“Ohh...” Their silence made sense now. Villain patted their pockets to no avail. “I don’t have anything to write with...”

His friend put their hand to their chin for a second. Then their eyes shot open and they pointed upwards to the cosmos.

Villain paused and looked up. “S-... Sky?”

They shook their head.

“Stars?”

They nodded, then held up one finger to Villain.

“...One. Stars One? What an odd name...”

They shook their head. With their opposite hand- which was hard to make work with the wine glass they held, out up one finger, then pointed to the stars above them.

“One Star.”

“Wait.....” The mistaken plurality of Villain’s words made him feel hot. “...it’s just Star, isn’t it?”

They nodded.

“Of course, apologies...” Villain looked away again. The third time he’d embarrassed himself today, and not just to his friend Star...

“Well, it is nice to meet you, Star.” For what made of it, he smiled at Star.

Star smiled back, and in a moment, it felt like time froze, like Villain could watch Star smile forever. Such a great look for them- and with such a perfect name- it was like they were a star themself. With their mouth, their eyes seemed to curl up into that grin too. A perfect face with a perfect smile to match... Villain could take a picture and stare at it all day.

Star cleared their throat. Villain jumped a bit and looked away again. He could practically feel the heat on his face. “A thousand apologies, I don’t know what’s come over me tonight...”

Villain hoped that Star knew that they themself were attractive and understood why Villain stared. Villain held his face out to oppose the direction of the wind and fanned himself. “S-So, what brings you to the balcony tonight? The party’s inside, y’know...” He looked back over to Star.

All Star did was motion out to sea with the hand that held his wine.

“Ahh- the view is pretty tonight, I must agree.” Villain smiled and looked at Star, but his smile fell when they noticed that Star wasn’t smiling. They seemed deep in thought, like something out at sea had caught their attention.

Although Villain had embarrassed themselves enough tonight and felt in no proper place to speak, he spoke anyway, “What do you think is out there?”

Star shrugged.

“Is... something bothering you?” ‘Something’ seemed to dawn on Villain, though, that something could be him. He had made enough of a fool of himself to the prettiest man at the party tonight, after all. “I can leave, if-“

“Mm-mm,” Star hummed as they shook their head, reaching out to grab Villain’s shoulder so he didn’t leave. That caused Star’s eyes to widen.

“Hu-“ Villain caught on that the arm they used to reach was Star’s support arm that held them balanced on the railing. Star’s body slipped backwards- they were falling!

Villain lunged out to grab Star’s support arm and dip their other hand under Star’s waist and pulled them close as much as they could- Villain almost spun over the railing himself. “Hold on!” Star’s free hand flailed in the air before arching around Villain’s neck, pulling themself up close.

The two stood there in midair, their hearts pounding. Villain wondered if it was his heart he heard, Star’s, or both. They remained breathless for a while, sat in suspense for any tipping to either side. Villain glanced down. The wine glass had slipped from Star’s grasp and fell far, far down onto the rocks below- he could slightly make out a shine in the rocks, although that could be the water from the ocean. A loud wave crashed onto the rocks, chilling Villain to his core and making him grip Star tighter.

Villain let out his breath and yanked Star’s arm that he was holding to move his other arm under Star’s waist and heave them back up and over the railing. His feet reached ground, but the force of Star’s body pushing against his made him tip backwards and fall again.

Villain panicked and gripped Star’s body close to him, taking the full force of the fall with an “oomph!” Pain and a weak, dizzy feeling shot through Villain’s head and he whimpered, reaching up to rub the back of his head.

The two lay shaken, trying to comprehend the last few moments. Villain sighed shakily and his eyes fluttered open to stare at the sky above him for a few moments. The tail ends of Star’s hair was just enough in his view to be noticeable. Star panted next to his ear, which made Villain shiver and heat up.

He took just a few more breaths before sitting up, keeping Star flush up against his body. “Y’okay?” He muttered. He felt Star nod in his shoulder. Villain let his hold on Star slacken and they separated, looking into each other’s eyes.

Star looked pale, their eyes wide and body shaking. They breathed heavily.

Villain, although he didn’t notice much of a difference, did have a chance now to look at Star’s eyes properly. But his suspicions were right, they were pitch black- although there was a very fine, you could almost miss it, thin line of white where the pupil was. Usually human eyes don’t separate the pupil from the ////// part, but he didn’t bother questioning. It’s not like everybody at this party was human, anyway...

“Where’s your glass?”

Star looked down to their shaky hand that once held their wine glass. They then looked over the balcony, then immediately looked back, their eyes tightly shut.

“Hey- it’s okay,” Villain said as he brushed his hand against Star’s cheek. So intimate...... “We can just get another one, I have plenty spares.” Villain moved to get up, dragging Star along with him. “Come on, le-“

Villain was forcibly dragged back down to the floor. He looked over to Star, who buried their face into Villain’s outfit. They wrapped their arms around him.

While Star didn’t speak, their request was clear. Plus, after that event, Villain wanted a bit of relax time, too.

“Here, lemme adjust.” Villain grabbed Star’s waist and crawled over to the railing, leaning against it and holding Star’s head close to his chest. He sighed, relaxing into the bars and letting his head tip back, his gaze directed at the sky. He closed his eyes.

Well, this is certainly an eventful night it’s turning out to be, Villain thought. Possibly the cutest man at the party, whom he didn’t even think he had a chance with at first, up against his body, them both relaxing.

He felt Star rub their face against Villain’s chest, sagging into the touch. Villain smiled, running a hand through Star’s hair. He actually heard Star visibly wheeze from that, so he continued to gently massage Star’s head and scalp.

All was at peace.
