****

The hunger was ever-present; from dawn to dusk it gnawed at you. Food was your constant obsession. You couldn't look at an animal or plant and wonder if it was edible. You didn't care if the food was tasty, just as long as it could make the stomach pains go away for awhile.

You sat there still, like an elderly person. You started to wonder whether you were going to die from starvation or from the zombies. You were too tired to move, or do anything really. You ran out of water and there was no fresh water source. It was only time for your death to approach. You couldn't even sleep either, because sleeping meant a chance for zombies to attack and devour you alive.

You were in the middle of the forest. You were camping in there after being driven out of your home. You took what you could find and left the city as fast as possible. You needed to get away from people as much as possible. Staying alive was horrible, you ran out of the food you stole from the city. You didn't possess the abilities or tools to be able to hunt or cook animals. You were such a shifty cook that you didn’t know how to make fucking tea. You couldn't stay there forever however. You needed to get off the island soon. Your stomach rumbled again.

First however, you needed food.

There was a crunch of leaves and twigs behind you. Each footstep crackled. There was someone coming. You dove behind a tree that was close by. You grabbed a large stick. It wasn't much of a weapon, but it was enough to try and knock the person out to steal their food. You closed your eyes and waited for them to draw near. Each step felt like a ripple in the ground.

You jumped out behind the tree and lunged forward. It was a blonde-haired man who was idly walking by. You attempted to land a strike across his cheek, but he jumped back. You tried again, but he dodged it. He was fast on his feet.

“What's going on?" He asked as he continued to dodge all of your attacks. "I don't want to fight a women."

"Give...me your food!" You growled as your grip tightened on the stick.

You lurched forward again and landed a blow across his left cheek. The man fell to the ground. He didn't get up after that. You ripped the bag off his shoulders and shifted through it. Your pupils dilated.

"No..." You said with a hint of panic in your voice.

You went through it again, this time your hands were fumbling. Your fingers jumped rhythmically, as if in a spasm. Your bowels suddenly churned. Please let there be food in there, you prayed. This couldn't happen...not now. Your heart was in your mouth. You couldn't speak.

“No! No! No!" This time you said it much louder, "please...I just need food."

Your heard some shifting and then a grunt come from behind you. Blood drained from your face as you turned your head around. The man was getting up. He took a cigarette box and a lighter from his breast pocket. He lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.

You grabbed the stick and gripped your two hands on it. You held it up in the air in front of you. You glared at him.

"S-stay...a-away or I'll hurt you!" You warned. Your hands were shaking as you fumbled on your words.

He took a breath and smoke floated up into the sky. "I'm not going to hurt you. You're hungry right? I'll make you something. I'll never let someone stay hungry."

You felt your stomach grumble again. "Liar! Y-you're going to kill me!"

He gave you a grin. “I'll never hurt a women. That's what a shitty old men taught me."

Your stomach rumbled again, this time loud enough for him to hear it. You fell to the ground and clutched your stomach. It felt as if someone pierced your stomach with a sword. "It hurts....I'm going to die."

He ran over to you. You didn't have the energy to run away. "Shit...you're malnourished and dehydrated. Is there no fresh water source here?"

You didn't have the energy to answer him, so you simply shook your head. He picked you up with his arms and started to run through the forest. You had no energy to protest or push him off. You were barely conscious at this point too, as the trees were starting to become a blur too.

After what seemed like forever, you started to smell cologne mixed with the smell of cigarettes. Your eyes fluttered open. You were still in the forest, but instead in a part that wasn’t covered in trees. There were no creatures around. The light from the sun hit your skin. Your eyes shifted to the side. You were laying on a black jacket. Ah so that’s where the smell was coming from.

You sat up. Your throat was extremely dry too. Your stomach was still hurting, but you ignored the pain. You looked around and the man was nowhere to be seen. You weren’t in any mood to talk to him anyway.

Your lips were cracked from dehydration. Your hair was matted with dirt and your clothes were were smeared with grass stains and dirt. You looked terrible. You needed a shower and some fresh clothes. You felt the bottom of your lip quiver. Will this be your new life? You no longer had the same luxuries you used to have. You took them for granted, and you only realized how lucky you were when they were gone.

You laid back down and turned to the side. You couldn’t afford to cry, because that would just make you even more dehydrated. Drowsiness overtook you. You closed your eyes and eventually fell asleep.

***

You were greeted with a sweet, savoury aroma that wafted through the air as you started to wake up again. The smell mixed in with the fragrance trees and grass. Your stomach clenched with hunger at the thought of devouring whatever food that was creating the smell.

You sat up and saw the blonde man making stew using ingredients from the forest, plants and animals you’ve seen before. He somehow was able to find bowls to give pour your stew in. You stated at him for awhile, transfixed by his ability to cut various vegetables and plants. He was so swift with his fingers.

He removed the cigarette from his mouth and exhaled the soft tendrils of smoke. His gaze shifted to you. The man gave you a smile.

“I’m so glad you’re awake.” He said softly. He came cover with a bowl of water. “I’m glad I had utensils and bowls in my bag. The water is still hot too because I boiled it. Please be careful.”

You moved the bowl of water around. The water swished back and forth. There was steam floating from it. It was definitely still hot. You sniffed the bowl of water. There didn’t seem to be any poison. Immediately after examining it, you guzzled down the water within mere seconds. You ignored your throbbing lips and your throat which felt like it was on fire. You sighed in relief. It was nice.

He finally handed you a bowl of stew. Taking in the sweet aroma, your stomach rumbled again. Every part of you wanted to lurch forward and devour the bowl. You couldn’t however. It didn’t feel right. You clenched your fists.

You spoke up. “I don’t understand.”

The man raised his eyebrows. “You don’t understand what?”

“Why are you doing this for me?” You asked again. This time with your voice shaking. “Why are you helping a complete stranger? I don’t know your name. I don’t know where you’re from or who you are. I..I don’t have any money if that’s what you want.”

He took the cigarette out of his mouth and breathed out. “My name is Sanji. I’m a cook on a ship. I already told you. It’s because I can never ignore someone is hungry. I don’t need money from you, so you can eat up. Besides....”

“Besides what?”

He gave you a smile. “Your cute face is enough of a payment for me.”

You rolled your eyes but felt a smile creep up onto your face. “Thank you Sanji.”

You ate your food in silence. You quickly finished it in mere minutes, but you were too embarrassed to ask for more. Much to your surprise, Sanji took your bowl and filled it up to the top. He handed it to you. He lit up another cigarette and sat next to you silently. Your cheeks flushed up in embarrassment.

You cleared your throat. “Aren’t you going to eat to. I’m fine really...”

Sanji shook his head. “I’m fine. I ate before I came to this island. I also have a few questions about it, if you don’t mind me asking.”

“Oh sure. Also I didn’t introduce myself yet. My name is (f/n). I worked as a mechanic in my mother’s shop. It was apart of the family business.” You rubbed the back of your head sheepishly. “I’m not the greatest cook, so you saved my life. Thank you so much. I’ll help you with anything you need.” You said. You gave him an awkward smile.

“What’s happening on this island? The city I was just in, it was a wreck. Did something happen? I was also attacked by a group of people. I need answers. I was separated from my crew too, so I also need a map.”

The smile from your face immediately vanished. You managed to forget about everything that happened for awhile, but the reality didn’t change.

“A group of pirates brought this virus to the island. Their crewmate was dumped here. He was rushed to the hospital.” You explained. “He survived, but the virus seemed to induce range and the need for human meat. He bit the nurse that was treating him and she started to act the same. I’m not sure, but I think the virus probably travels through saliva.”

“They’re like zombies, but still alive?” He chucked. “They aren’t as smart as the ones on Thriller Bark.”

You cocked your head in confusion. “What? You aren’t scared?”

Sanji shook his head. “I have a damn skeleton who can walk, talk, eat and even take a shit on my ship. There’s nothing that surprises me anymore.”

Your eyes narrowed. You weren’t sure if he was joking or not. The Grandline is full of surprises, so anything could happen. Speaking of which, why was this man traveling on the Grandline? Is his boat a restaurant ship that floats around by any chance.

“What kind of ship do you work on..?”

“A pirate ship.”

Your stomach dropped. Of course. He’s a pirate. You felt anger churn deep within you. A pirate was the one who destroyed this island. You tried your best to ignore it. He did save your life. Perhaps he wasn’t like the others.

“What about you? Why are you here in the forest? Where’s your mom?” He asked.

You were silent for a moment. “She died three years ago. After she passed, I took over the business. My shop is probably rubble right now.”

“That’s a shame. Do you want to go take a look to see if there’s anything left? There must be something.” He asked.

You shook your head and chuckled. “It’s whatever I guess. I gotta get used to how I’m living now.” You got up from where you were sitting. “Also, I should have a map in my bag. Let me go check.”

You got up and went to grab your bag. There were mostly essentials: empty water bottle, first aid kit, a change of clothes. You let out a grunt. There was no map in sight.

“Sorry about the map. I don’t seem to have any.” You rubbed the back of your head sheepishly.

“It’s fine.” Sanji stood up and stretched. “We should get going then.”

You raised an eyebrow. “Going where?”

“To your home of course. Seeing it might give you a sense of relief. You’ll never regret not taking the chance to see if there was anything there.” He replied. He lit another cigarette into his mouth.

You were at a loss for words. “I...”

“Hmm?”

You shook your head. “I can’t go.”

“Why not?”

“Even if I do get a sense of closure from seeing my home, where would I go?” You bit the bottom of your lip to stop from crying and took a deep breath, “I have nobody left. I don’t have a ship nor do I have the skills to travel to another island. I also don’t trust you. You’re a pirate. What if you try to hurt me?”

The tears splashed forth and trickled down your cheeks. The thought of your home in rubble and the memories of your mother came flooding into your head all at once. You tried to quickly wiped your tears away, but they kept coming.

“Shit I’m crying. I’m sorry about that.” You chuckled.

Sanji gave you a smile. “It’s okay to cry. Everyone cries. I also won’t lay a finger on you.” He looked up into the sky. “Regarding your future, it’s up to you. You can do whatever you want. I won’t try to stop you (f/n).”

Hearing him call you by your name caught you off guard. You got up. “Let’s get going then Sanji.”

We Walk Like Humans Do, Chapter 2

The Transcendence has been, on the whole, a good thing for magical creatures... for the ones that walked on two legs and fit in doorways, at least. Lacie has other problems to overcome before she can live in the big city.

Thanks to @feferipeixes for help editing this chapter! Go check out their awesome stuff!

See most updated version on Archive of Our Own.

________________________________________________________________

Oh, my stars. Alcor hasn’t laughed this hard in lifetimes.

Chapter 2 of Wizard Animago’s Not-So-Secret Spellbook - Everything You Already Knew About Transfiguration and Literally Nothing Else

Hi, I’m 18Lacie5 and I wrote another chapter for you humans. Everyone was really confused on my last post and seemed to think it was a joke, so I’ll start out by answering the five most common questions you had.

1 - Yes, I am a basilisk.

2 - No, I am not the basilisk from Harry Potter.

3 - No, I do not live in the Chamber of Secrets from Harry Potter.

4 - No, I am not the horcrux snake from Harry Potter.

5 - No, I am not in any way related to Harry Potter.

Are we all on the same page now? Good, because holy shit some of you really missed the point here. I got a visit from one of you with a replica of Gryffindor’s sword, and that was so annoying I didn’t even feel bad killing him - like dude, all that tells me is I KNOW you read my post about not coming down here, and then decided to come down here anyway ‘cause fuck me, right?

(The sword wasn’t even that good. It was made of cheap plastic, snapped like a spine.)

Anyway, despite all this the last post was fun to write, so I’m doing it again. Also it seems like the number of visits from treasure hunters has gone down since I posted, though it’s hard to tell. There’s not really a consistent number from year to year, and the day I start keeping a deathcount is the day I give up on life and buy a mirror to see if I can kill myself with my own reflection.

For science, you know?

Alcor’s read the entire blog by now and it’s just perfect. The snark, the sarcasm, the casual disregard towards human lives that could only have been written by an ancient and powerful being - it’s hilarious! And the spell entries… man, he could listen to Lacie tear apart someone’s Latin any day of the decade. If only she could come to some of his summons; she’d have so much material to work with there.

With a chuckle, Alcor looks up and glances around the darkness of the Mindscape. He needs to show this to someone. But who? Mizar? She’s only a year into the current reincarnation… hmm, she might be a little too young to understand it. Lucy Ann’s somewhere around; he probes for her, and finds her - dammit - during naptime at some kindergarten in Portland.

Anyone else?

…

No one else.

There’s absolutely no one else in his life right now. That’s… that’s a fun reminder.

He sighs, and sits back on the fabric of reality. Maybe some cultists’ll summon him; he could read them a blog post, see if they laugh. That’d be fun, right?

Al narrows his eyes at the great nothingness before him. It’d be something, at least.

...You know, he can feel a little tug now.

A weak one, just one summoner, and no circle. That confuses him at first - even the real amateurs usually manage to scribble out some sort of rounded shape - and when he looks closer, he sees it’s holding one of his summoning cards, holding it in its… hand?

No, not quite a hand, and Alcor jolts right up as he realises shit that’s Lacie trying to call him, shit he didn’t think she’d call him back so soon! How long did he keep her waiting? It’s been a couple hours - shit!

Alcor tessers over to her in an instant, his mouth already open and spilling apologies: “Oh my stars Lacie, I am so sorry for the delay! I got distracted and I didn’t think you’d call back so soon so I wasn’t watching as closely as I-”

A deep, rumbling growl cuts him off. It’s a deafening sound, coming from a creature lounging on a pile of bones and gold with teeth the size of Alcor’s entire body; he can’t help but cringe at that. He takes a deep breath, remind himself that he’s an all-powerful demon who definitely doesn’t need to be scared of some mere mortal… even if she is pretty scary for a mortal.

You know, relatively speaking. He isn’t scared, he just thinks she’s scarier than, like, a human. Like a human from that pile of human skeletons she’s smashed into the wall. Yeah, that’s not scary at all. That wouldn’t kill him… looks like it would hurt, though.

He double checked he isn’t standing near that spellbook she’s bound to, right?

Just as he’s thinking this, Lacie lets out another even louder growl, and he jumps back with an undignified yelp.

“Hey, whoa, Lacie!” Alcor watches her head shift to the side. “Lacie? Hello?”

She doesn’t reply, and he looks to her face for an answer. He sees one of her eyes now: it’s closed?

Closed.

The realisation washes over him as she lets out another slow, rumbling snore.

“Oh. You’re… you’re just sleeping, aren’t you. Duh.” He straightens, and casts a glance around the room as he fixes his tie and straightens his hat. “Glad no one noticed that… Lacie?”

She doesn’t stir, and Alcor makes a face. He’s never turned up to a summons and had the summoner fall asleep; would she want him to wake her up? Her dreams feel pretty peaceful to him, and even though that thing - is that a giant laptop? - she’s using as a pillow doesn’t look particularly comfy, it doesn’t seem to bother her in the slightest.

Yeah, it looks like he should just let her call him back… but there is something. Embedded in her sluggish thoughts, he can feel a sort of drive, a sort of desperation, and that makes him hesitate. He looks for her tail, and spots it still wrapped around his summoning card, still squeezing it in a death grip.

Alcor frowns. He watches her snore one more time, then makes up his mind. With a deep breath, he reaches out and prods at her thoughts; they immediately begin to stir. He prods again, and Lacie lets out a grunt. Her eyelid cracks open, and she drags a sleepy glare across the room.

Her gaze meets his, and he feels pain, pain in his soul, his soul feels like it’s being pushed out through his ears ow ow OW- and he recoils, unable to bear it for a second longer.

Wow, he thinks, that really is potent. What on earth makes it so powerful?

Before he can wonder about that, there’s a noise. Gold coins clink against each other as Lacie jerks up, blinking hard, panic flashing in her aura. Alcor holds up his hands.

“Hey, hey, it’s just me!” He looks down as she fixes her eyes on him. “Sorry if you, uh, didn’t want to be woken up, I just thought… you know, you called me, and… what are you doing?”

She’s cast the summoning card aside and is now wiggling the touchpad on her laptop. He cocks his head.

“Whoa, I’ve never seen a laptop that big. Where on Earth did you buy that?”

Lacie doesn’t acknowledge his question. She starts typing something, and he floats closer to see her login screen.

“18Lacie5. Heh, I like your username.” He watches her click on the password box and slowly, painstakingly jab each key with her tail. “E… Y… E… What? Why are you looking at me like- oh. Oh, I’m so sorry!”

There’s a faint snort from Lacie as he turns away. His cheeks redden.

“Sorry, I forget hu- uh, mortals? Mortals tend to like their privacy on stuff… it’s kind of useless since Al-V can hack into pretty much any computer on earth - um, the Alcor Virus, that’s Alvie.” He hears the typing stop, and suddenly wishes he’d chosen literally any other topic in the world. “Um, not that I would make him hack into your computer! I’m just saying he could, and he probably has already… um, I just made him to get rid of Twin Souls though, you’re fine! O-or you should be fine - you don’t, by any chance, happen to like Twin Souls, do you? It’s, um, this book - well it’s a movie now but it was a book - and Mizar - who is my sister by the way - well, that’s why I hate it, because it has my sister and I, umm…ugh, sorry, it’s gross, my sister and I, we’re- huh?”

A low hiss makes him look back, and he sees Lacie - ow - staring right at him. She gestures to the screen, which has a word document open on it with big, bold letters.

“Oh, you want me to read that?” He floats closer, and frowns as he reads the first line:

Im pretending 2 type rite now 2 see how long u wil ramble 4 wtf youre still going and now twin souls no nono why r u explaning i actually cant take the awkwardnes i got 2 stop u

Alcor blinks, then shoots her a dirty look. The noise coming out of her now sounds an awful lot like snickering.

“Wha- I was just-! I just wanted to clarify the hacking thing I said, I-!” The snickering gets louder, and he rolls his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, I guess I’m a little rusty at small talk, very funny. I’d like to see how awkward you’d be if the only practice you could get is on a bunch of cultists in basements. They’re not exactly social butterflies either, you know!”

Lacie just keeps laughing, and Alcor… well, he puts on a show of crossing his arms and heaving a long-suffering sigh, but he’s fighting a smile.

It’s strangely nice, being here. Lacie’s strangely nice to be around; she already feels - and he has to remind himself he’s only met her twice - almost like a friend? Maybe he just has a low bar these days, but he hears her laughter, and… it’s just very, very nice. Nice in a way that’s hard to describe.

Nice in a way he hasn’t felt for a while.

The feeling lingers even after Lacie’s chuckling dies off, and he’s still smiling as he watches her reach for the laptop again. She jabs the down arrow a couple times, and some more, better punctuated text comes into view.

I have revised the terms of our deal, it starts, and Alcor clears his throat, squares his shoulders, tries to get himself back into business mode. He reads on: and I would like to exchange the human bones that are currently in my room for a human disguise I am capable of putting on and taking off at will.

He raises an eyebrow as he reaches the end. This is not the deal he was expecting to make. A human disguise… he can tell she’s no demonologist, that’s for sure; there’s so many interpretations of that, so many wonderful ways to tw͏is͡t her̡ ̵w̢or̵d̸s ͏a͟g̢ai͘n̸st͠ ̢h͝er-

No. He shakes his head to clear it of his worst instincts, but they won’t leave, not in the presence of such an enticing deal. Suddenly, he’s glad he doesn’t have to look her in the eyes right now; he trains them on the ground instead, and starts to speak.

“So, um… when you’re saying a ‘human disguise’, what do you mean by that?” He can’t see her face, but he can see a bolt of frustration flash across her aura. “Huh? What’s- oh right, can’t talk, uh… well, do you want me to make an actual, convincing disguise? You know, instead of, like, a wig and some sunglasses?”

Lacie nods vigourously. He watches her tap the caps key and add ‘CONVINCING’ before the human disguise bit. A part of him screams at all the opportunities he’s giving up - willingly! - but he forces a smile and nods.

“Cool, I can do that. I’ve made a few humans before- human bodies, that is, not… um.” Alcor coughs. “Anyway, I can give you a convincing human form for those bones of yours. How does that sound?”

She taps the screen.

“What…? Oh, yes, I’ll make it so you can switch back and forth at will. Good catch. Now, do we have a d̕e͇̪͍̜̻̪͘a̙̻̬̦͔ͅl̲̝͓͔?”

He doesn’t extend a hand to shake, but blue sparks spurt from his fingertips as he watches Lacie mull it over. Her aura fizzles with nervous energy, but it only takes a couple seconds for her to tamp it down and give him a firm nod. The rush of a newly made deal makes his grin go wide; he tries not to let it go too wide as he claps his hands together.

“Alrighty, then,” he says, rubbing them until those sparks turn into a full-blown fire. “One meatsuit coming right up!”

He extends a hand to the pile of bones in the corner of the room, and with a flick of the wrist he rips the energy from them all and absorbs it. The sacrifice warms him like a good meal, and he turns back to Lacie, ready to put that newly-gained power to use.

He steps back and sizes her up with his hands, a gesture that makes her aura simmer with uncertainty. She makes a low, nervous sound, and he waves her away.

“It’s alright, I just… need to remember how big a human is, how much I need to squish you down... Got it!!” Alcor readies his fingers to snap. “Okay, I’ve only done this on myself before, so there might be some kinks I haven’t thought of! Don’t worry, though, I’ll probably be able to fix them!”

Before Lacie could respond, he snaps his fingers, and his magic rushes around her like a cloud. Skin forms over scales, hair grows over horns, and the figure that remains when it disperses is unmistakably human.

It’s also falling to the ground from the height of Lacie’s head, and oh shit catch her catch her catch her - he freezes her momentum a couple inches from the ground then lets her plop, safely but definitely not gracefully, into a puddle.

“Oh, my stars! Are you okay?” Heart pounding in his chest, he dashes over. “I am so sorry about that fall, how are you- ow, okay , I’m gonna need to get you some sunglasses or something - how are you feeling? Here, let me help you up!”

He extends a hand, and Lacie… just stares at it.

Just stares at him, not moving, and he can feel panic flaring up in her aura as she can’t move, oh stars she’s so tiny right now and she can’t move oh fuck-

Alcor blinks. “Oh, right. Um, don’t panic-”

Don’t panic??? DON’T PANIC??? FUCK THIS SHE’S LIKE FIVE INCHES TALL RIGHT NOW AND SHE CAN’T FUCKING MOVE OH MY STARS WHY DID SHE DO THIS TO HERSELF THIS IS THE STUPIDEST FUCKING IDEA SHE’S EVER HAD IN HER LIFE-

“Lacie? Take a deep breath… Lacie? Lacie!” He cringes when Lacie’s eyes fix on him again. “Okay, um, I can see this is… a little stressful for you?”

She nods vigourously.

“Alright, um… don’t worry, I made it easy for you to change back! You just, y’know, gotta think of yourself being a basilisk again - or is it pronounced ‘battle-isk’? ‘Bas-til-isk’? Heh, that’s a weird word, I’ve only ever seen it written down-”

Lacie ditches her human disguise as fast as she could, shooting back out to her original form and cutting Alcor off mid-tangent. He jumps back, watching relief flood through her aura as she could move again, thank the stars she could actually move and everything’s normal sized again… fuck, everything’s normal sized again. She wasted her deal!

The relief’s spiking up into another panic, and Alcor clears his throat. “Alright, so that deal didn’t go to plan. No worries! I can’t exactly do refunds, but you’ve still got plenty of good stuff to sacrifice in here! Doesn’t bother me if this takes a few tries, heh.”

But that doesn’t calm Lacie in the slightest, because now she has to think of another deal, her mind’s blank, she’s got nothing! But she’ll fall asleep if she makes Alcor leave again… maybe she will have to go for that deal.

It’s hard to read her thoughts when they go quiet, but Alcor definitely picks up something about that deal as they’re retreating into a murky bubble of disappointment. He sees how she hangs her head at the idea, then lugs her laptop over to her, begins to peck away at the keys.

He sees that, and frowns. “Hey, uh,” he starts, and right away her eyes dart over to him. “If you don’t want to make a new deal, I’m sure we could make this one work?”

Lacie cocks her head.

“I mean, I’ve been… I know a thing or two about being in a human body. It’s been a while, but maybe I could… y’know, show you the ropes?”

She doesn’t say a word. The silence stretches, and Alcor laughs nervously.

“I-if you want. I mean, it’s been a while, but maybe I could show you enough to get around? I did technically promise your disguise would be ‘convincing’, so a couple human lessons should be easy enough to fit in, without… without another deal... um, I don’t know if you like this idea or you want me to stop talking? If you do that’s fine, I can do another deal, just give me a-”

There’s a sort of fwoomp sound, and the coils and coils of Lacie’s body seem to twist out of existence. At the same time, a human takes shape where her head was, and falls right into Alcor’s arms before he has time to blink.

“-a sign?” He finishes, and stares down at her. She stares right back, and he’d admire the steely resolve, the carefully-controlled fear in her gaze a whole lot longer if it didn’t make his soul want to push itself out through his ears.

“Oh, Okay. Wow, you’re, um… diving right in, huh?”

Lacie gives her closest approximation to a human smile, and Alcor’s caught off guard by how quickly he finds himself grinning back. An actual, genuine grin stretches across his face for the first time in too long, and he chuckles.

“Alright, Lacie, I like your gumption!” He summons a pair of sunglasses, and sticks them over her eyes. “Let’s get humaning!”

________________________________________________________________

Humaning. Lacie had taught herself many human things over the years; she’d taught herself to read, to type, to write - heck, she’d even managed to summon a demon (and in proper human tradition, had made a poorly thought-out deal with it.) She was no novice in learning how to human.

Maybe that’s why she thought the whole human form was a good idea. She was great at humaning! She’d taught herself so many of their skills, educated herself on so many of their customs, she was able to pass as one of them online… sometimes, it really didn’t feel like she was all that different from them.

After all, if she could read like a human and write like a human and think like a human, how hard could it be to walk around like one, too?

…

As it turns out, hard.

Very, very hard.

Duh.

Everything, everything is different in a human body. Sure, she thought having arms and legs would take some getting used to, but how about all this hair? How about her cramped little mouth and her stubby tongue? How about her skin? Her skin is stupidly sensitive without scales; when she was lying on the stone, she could feel every little bump in it, could feel water soaking her, making her shiver - and shivering, ugh! What an awful sensation! Even though Alcor’s got her propped her up in a chair now, her skin won’t stop whining to her that, gasp, the fabric’s a little itchy!

Whoop de fucking do, skin. Hopefully she grows a thicker one soon enough, because this is driving her crazy. She’s laughing at the Lacie of a couple hours ago who thought she’d just be able to stand up and walk out of the sewers, and oh, speaking of walking ?

Hah! Try moving them at all!

Lacie’s been without these strange appendages all her life, and moving them would be like a human trying to nod with a second head they’ve just sprouted - sometimes she’ll get lucky and hit upon whatever bundle of nerves is controlling each of these limbs, and after two hours of Alcor’s patient coaching she can make them twitch on a somewhat consistent basis, but she’s not getting anywhere fast with them any time soon.

She can only lie here, with her blunt teeth, with her papery skin, with her useless limbs…

Helpless.

Absolutely helpless.

Alcor looms over her whenever he stands up… and that scares her more than she thought it would. Everything looms over her in this form; the - she called it little - pile of treasure she sleeps on now seems like a great mountain, the ceiling she often bangs her head on is higher still, impossibly high. She sees her spellbook resting on its lecturn, and it’s about the same size as her now; she remembers how tiny it once seemed, and- OH FUCK WHAT’S GOING- oh, she’s shivering again.

Lacie frowns at that, and she lets out a noise that’s weirdly squeaky in this throat, and Alcor taps her shoulder.

(And she feels that, holy shit skin it’s literally just a hand)

“...need to take a break?” He’s asking. Frowning. “Lacie?”

She nods, quickly, and he takes the sunglasses off her face before scooting back. Closing her eyes, she thinks of being a basilisk again, and all these alien sensations fall away with a flood of relief. Lacie is herself again; she takes a long moment to savour it, to lounge across her sleeping pile, to listen to her scales scratch against the stone floor, to open an eye and see Alcor as a tiny figure in her field of vision.

“That looks comfy.” He says. He’s grinning, but she can barely make that out. “Darn, I should’ve moved the chair, too.”

The chair? She lifts her body, and finds the chair she’d been sitting on, crushed beneath the weight of her coils. With a little chuckle, she sweeps it out from under her, marvelling at how tiny it is - how tiny she was.

Alcor laughs, too. “Sheesh, you flattened it. I think it’ll be easier to make a new chair.”

Laying her head on the ground, she lets out a lazy snort.

“…um, when you’re ready, I mean.” He adds. “Or we can stop, if you’re tired? I can-”

She heaves herself up. Ugh, she is tired - it creeps up on her. She can’t sleep though, not when she’s so close, so fucking close to getting out of here.

“Oh, okay… are you sure? We’ve been at this a while, I really don’t mind taking a break…”

Lacie tugs at that mental link in the back of her mind, and feels herself switch back into human form again. Unlike switching the other way, this form greets her not with a flood of relief, but with a host of silly little complaints: her back hurts, the stone’s not comfy on her face, it’s cold, she’s wet, on and on and on and she just wants it all to shut up… but, she will admit, there is one thing she likes.

Alcor hoists her up on one of those tiny little chairs she’d been laughing at just a second ago, and she stares at him, and she feels awake.

Completely awake.

She can’t remember the last time her head’s felt this clear, and it’s a pity she has to spend half her human time fidgeting in a seat because otherwise it’d be amazing. Is this really how bad the energy situation had gotten down here? Wow, she really needed to get out of here, and fast.

“Hey, Lacie?” Alcor’s saying something, and she looks over at him. “So I know you said - or, uh, indicated, anyway - that you didn’t want a break…”

He pauses expectantly, and then, seeming to realise she isn’t going to follow it up with a ‘Yes?’ clears his throat.

“Right. Well, I kind of would. Like a break. If that’s okay with you.”

Lacie blinks.

“You know, we’ve been doing this for a while, and I’m thinking maybe we could do something else? You know, it could be something fun! It could be something like, um, like… oh, do you play Scrabble?”

She shakes her head.

“No? Oh, I guess that was a longshot… how bout chess? I know there’s like, online chess… no?” He frowns at her continued head-shaking. “Alright, well… What do you do for fun down here?”

Lacie thinks on that for a moment, then turns her head towards the laptop.

“Oh, your laptop? Nice, nice.” He grins at her. “I love your blog.”

Wait, her blog? He’s read that? He likes that? The surprise must be showing on her face, because Alcor starts laughing.

“Yeah, it’s hilarious! I was actually so caught up reading it, I didn’t realise you were summoning me! I love just how sarcastic it is! It’s amazing!”

Lacie blinks. Is he… gushing? Is Alcor the Dreambender gushing about her blog?

Is this her life?

“Man,” he rambles on. “that joke about a killcount, that was great. I just don’t get why it’s not more popular! Humans, they just don’t have any taste… they’re, heh, they’re too busy reading Harry Potter, amirite?”

He nudges her like he’s made some kind of clever reference, and she snorts at him. Okay, wow, demon or not, this guy really is an absolute plonker. She loves it.

“Haha, yeah! They’ve been, uh, playing Quidditch too much to read your stuff! Yeah! Or they’ve been, um… making swords? Making- I should stop now, shouldn’t I.”

With a big dumb grin on her face, she nods.

“Yep, that was getting out of hand.” Alcor rubs his neck. “I just wanted to say I really liked it a lot. It was funny.”

Lacie’s grin got even bigger.

“So, uh, you really have been down here all your life, huh? Dealing with treasure hunters-” He chuckles when she rolls her eyes. “Hah, I can imagine that’s not fun! Yeah... so, uh, have you ever been outside?”

She shakes her head. Maybe before she was old enough to remember, but that was a long, long time ago. Alcor makes a face at that.

“Yeah, yeesh. No wonder you want to get out of here, no wonder…”

He trails off, and Lacie watches his eyes go distant for a second before a thought seems to strike him; he blinks, frowns, then, slowly, he starts to grin. He turns to her again, and she raises an eyebrow at the shine in his eyes.

“Hey, Lacie,” He says. “Want me to take you on a little tour?”

i’m done finishing the game of “the last of us” (remastered version).

Its a story between joel and ellie eventually meet each other in the story of the game im playing. And i also learned that, its a adaptation from a novel and turn it into a game in ps4 (remastered version) In the beginning of the game, joel tried to save her daughter, together with joel’s brother tommy. from unknown creatures attacked their city. Its a living dead like zombie. Called runners. Because of virus spreading in their country. But tommy left behind to block the door for the runners who run after them.Unfortunately, his daughter accidentally killed by the police tried to capture them while they are running away from runners. In the prologue of the game. And then after that, joel and one of his comrades named tess is inside the quarantine zone and she is a member of firefly. And joel become smugglers. Who smuggling things like fire arms using secret passage going in and going out of quarantine zone. But its not his main mission in the game. Because eventually, he will meet one of the firefly member and entrusted him the little girl named ellie. And they will found out that ellie is already two weeks infected and bitten by the runners. Until tess will become bitten also and left also behind to fight the police arrived in their location to make them to escape. They also meet other survivors in their way like billy. Who is adept in making traps to defend his city from runners. And also save them from runners and flickers. Flickers is another kind of infected living dead that you will encounter when you get far in the game. And you can use stealth moves and then grab it and use shiv to immediately killed it. Billy joined joel and ellie to find the battery for a car, but billy’s battery is gone when they reach the car where the battery is placed. And they run away because flickers and runners are coming. Until they reach a house where billy’s friend is hanging and dead by committing suicide. And billy found his missing battery. I also read a letter wrote by billy’s bestfriend frank before he commit suicide. He said all what he want to say including his anger against billy. And then, joel, billy, and ellie tried to jump start the car. But some flickers and runners are on their way. That is why, they take a hard time to start the engine of the car while they pushing it and killing runners and flickers on their way. Until they slide the car in down hill of the road and successfully jump started it. Ellie drove the car while joel and billy ride in the back of the pick up. And they drop billy outside of his house and billy told to joel that they are equal now. By helping each other. And before ellie and joel leave billy. Joel give symphaty to billy. Maybe he knows the feeling of losing a friend. And then after that, joel drive the car while ellie is on the back seat. And ellie told him, she stolen some comics in the house of billy and one porn magazine. And she throw it away. And then ellie move to passenger seat and turn up the volume because she also stolen a casette tape for their trip. And then after a while, ellie fall asleep and when she wake up. One of the looters acting in the middle of the road and tried to fool them by showing he is bleeding. Joel put his seat belt on and also ellie. And drive fast the car and bump in the person in front of them blocking their way. Unfortunately, their car crashed by the bus. And they crashed in a house. Ellie almost captured by the bad guys, and joel almost killed. But they manage to escape and kill all those bad guys on their way. Until they meet a two black brothers, henry and sam and team up with joel and ellie. To fight the bad guys and they head to radio tower. But on their way, the little brother of henry bitten by the runners and when sam turned and become runners. He tried to eat ellie. And joel act immediately and search his gun inside of his bag. But henry stop him by firing a warning shot to joel. Ellie is nearly bitten by sam. But henry fired his gun to sam and also to himself. And they both killed before they reach the radio tower.

Sometime in the middle of their way to radio tower, joel lost his trust to henry, because they leave them when the ladder got broken and the military vehicle is coming. But ellie stayed beside joel and find another way to get out. When ellie and joel reach the dead end of the bridge. Ellie jump in the water and joel save ellie by jumping in the water too. Because he knows ellie don’t know how to swim. Unfortunately, joel lost his conciousness because he brag in something like rock in the water and the two of them drown. And when they wake up. The two black brothers saved them from drowning.

When the two black brother is dead, joel and ellie continue their way to radio tower. Unti they reach it. They go to a water dam and make way to get inside of it, and joel thinks its an abandoned quarantine zone, not knowing its a firefly camp. Joel and tommy meet each other again. And hug each other. And talked about ellie privately in a room. And joel told to tommy that ellie is infected and immune to virus. And they argue to each other and joel asked his brother to rearm him and give him some fire arm and ammuninations to save ellie by bringing her to the hospital of fire fly. But tommy answer joel that they need to asked maria, the wife of tommy. Also a member of fire fly. But their camp is attacked by the bad guys. And killed some tommy’s men while they are trying to re-operate and re-run the water dam. Until they killed all the bad guys inside their camp. And tommy asked his wife about ellie. And when ellie heard what tommy’s wife said. He grab a horse and run away from them. But joel and tommy run after to ellie and search for her. On their way, there is some bad guys and armed by fire arms. Until they found ellie on the second floor of the house and reading comics. The three united and go to the university and ellie gave back firefly horse to tommy. And tommy go back to their camp. When joel and ellie was inside the university, they still riding a horse. Unfortunately, joel has been badly wounded and they tried to escape from the bad guys using the horse that they got from joel’s brother. Since joel got wounded because he fall from second floor and got stabbed in his back by an iron standing on the ground. Ellie hunt for their food, and that’s the time she meet david. Ellie successfully hunt a deer and run away not so far from her, And david and one of his men saw ellie. And asked ellie for trade. Ellie asked david for some medicine for the exchange of deer meat. Then david asked his men along with him to get what ellie’s need. But before that happened, runners and flickers appeared. And they both run away. Until they killed them all and david men returned and gave the medicine to ellie. Ellie found out that david is the leader of the bad guys and searching also for the both of them. When ellie is returned to joel, she inject the medicine to joel and heard davids men is searching for them and tracked her foot prints. Ellie run away from them using the horse of fire fly. Unfortunately, the horse got shot and killed and ellie still run away from them and exchanging fire from them. Until she captured by david. And lost her conciousnes. When she wake up, she found herself inside the cage. And david asked him to cooperate with him so they can give a valid reason because david sees ellies as young and innocent. But ellie disagree by breaking david’s finger. Until she lost her conciousness again because david brag him inside the cage. And then, when she wake up. She saw david and one of his men chopping a hand of a human, and i think they eating human flesh and meat. Ellie got scared in what she saw. And they took ellie inside the cage and put in the table and tried to chop her also. But ellie told them she is infected but immune. David saw ellies arm and he believed, but ellie manage to reach the butcher knife and attacked david men holding her. And ellie successfully escape david and get out of the butcher house. When ellie get outside she also searching by david’s men. Until she got inside of a bar and then david arrived and they killed each other. Ellie stab david while david tried to stab him by david sword. And when both exhausted in their fight. They fall asleep and ellie wake up first and crawl to reach david sword under of something. But before ellie reach david sword called machete, david caught him. And pinned down her. And then david turn ellie face to him and choke ellie, while david trying to kill ellie by choking.. ellie manage to reach the machete of david and slash david by his own sword. And ellie sit in the top of david and then stab and slash david’s face by his own sword called machete until..

She successfully killed david, and then joel came and arrived in the scene while ellie is killing david inside the bar. And stopping ellie and telling ellie its him, joel. Until the both nothing more to do but to hug each other.

After that, they reach the outside of fire fly hospital, and they think they are near to their hope. The cure for the mankind, a vaccine for everyone. And they saw some giraffes in the vicity of the fire fly hospital and eating some higher grass or grass from the higher ground. Ellie and joel captured by the fire fly, and then joel speak to one of the fire fly member, and told him that ellie willingly to undergo the operation and she will die to make a vaccine for humanity. But joel disagree, and he managed to escaped from the hands of one of the firefly soldiers by killing it and he asked the firefly soldier where is ellie before he finally killed it. Joel moves fast going to the top floor of the hospital where ellie wounds is trying to disect and removed from her. To make a vaccine. But the exchanged she will become zombie and died. Joel managed to save ellie and killed the three doctors examining the body of ellie. And run away from incoming firefly soldier and used the elevator to go down to the bottom of the building, i guess.. its parking lot 2, lower than the basement of parking lot 1. And joel meet a black girl a firefly member, while he lifting ellie to escape from them. The firefly member asked joel that he can still changed his mind but joel have hidden gun and shoot the girl firefly member.

And they managed to escape from fire fly hospital, and joel told ellie that she is not alone, there is a lot of immune from virus. A dozen of people. That is why, firefly or doctors stop searching for medicine. Im not sure, Because i don’t understand it clearly. But one thing is for sure, not only ellie is immune to virus. They are a lot of them. And then ellie asked joel if what he said regarding to firefly is true. Because she has a friend got bitten also with her and waiting their time to become runners. I guess her name is riley. And joel answer him its true.

And that’s the end of the last of us remastered.

(Karamel)

I have never written fanfiction sorry if it sounds stupid. I don’t know if there is mistakes I wrote this at like 3 in the morning😂!

My writing is not that great sorry again it is probably cringe worthy🤣

The characters in this writing do not belong to me.However, I love supergirl.

Kara could barely sleep, in fact she hadn’t slept at all. The morning light crept through the blinds of her bedroom. Slowly the rays of the yellow sun tugged on the eyelids of a very tired kryptonian that had almost fallen asleep. Kara cringed at the thought of getting up. Even though the light refreshed her powers her brain was still on overdrive. All she could think about was last night. Words and images flooded her mind burning into to her thoughts. she tried to think about something else other than the conversation she had with Mon'el just hours ago,But she couldn’t help not thinking about it. There were many things that he said that made her heart jump, but there was one sentence that made her feel powerless; powerless in a good way like she could just melt in his arms. “It was ok that I was going to die because I had gotten to kiss you."everytime she replayed that moment in her mind she still didn’t understand how a man especially a daximite could be so caring and honest about his feelings. She decided after hitting the snooze button what felt like a hundred times,to get up and at least try to get ready to start her day. After Kara realized that snapper had given her the day off she thought about going to the deo ,but she quickly thought against it when she thought mon'EL would be there.It wasn’t that she didn’t want to see him it was just she thought it would be awkward so she decided to call Alex. "Hey is everything ok,” Alex said with a hint of worry,“you don’t normally call this early.”

Kara replied with a quickly almost unsure “yeah everything,everything is uh fine. So um is anything going on at the deo?”

“No not really are u sure everthing is ok Kara?”

“Yeah, so snapper gave me an article that I have to finish by this afternoon sooo can u please cover for me I have a lot of work to do.”

“ Sure but I will call you if anything strange happens over here.”

“ will do!” Kara said with a hint of relief she didn’t like lying to her sister ,but she didn’t really want to tell her what was going on. Kara hadn’t even explained (“the kiss”)to her .“love you Alex” “Love u to Kara,” Alex said hanging up the phone.“ She could tell something was wrong but she decided it was best not to argue with her.

Sweat dripped off mon'el as he was angrily training, hitting a punching bag resembling steel. Monel was upset sure, but he was more mad than anything. He had let her slip away he thought, punching even harder until the punching bag flew acrossed the room into a concrete column. The column shattered to pieces on impact.Why did you tell her to forget about it?you should of let her talk. How could you be so stupid! Monel thought as he paced around his training area grabbing the nap of his neck. "Now she’s not even going to show up! good move monel!!!” “ everything ok?” Alex said wondering why everyone was acting so weird?

He suddenly stopped pacing and his cheeks burned red. “Yeah everything is great.” He said with an annoyed tone.

“Ok then, why is everyone in some weird mood today first Kara was acting strange and now u? Is there some sort of alien virus going around?” She said trying to lighten the room with humor.

“wait Kara was here?"monel asked a little more relaxed. "No she called me.she couldn’t come today she said something about snapper giving her a big assignment that she had to finish by tonight.”

“Huh. i thought today was her day off.” He said kind of confused.

“I did to.Ok well I’m going to go before I catch the alien disease.” Alex teased. Monel smiled and began to clean up the mess he made.

After monel cleaned his monumental mess he called Kara. no matter how many times he dialed her she still didn’t answer. “ pick up kara.” he said to himself getting more worried by the second. Finally, he decided to go to Catco where she’d was “working today.”

The elevator opened slowly. To slowly for monel. He pushed the doors open making them squeal. “Hey!” James said monel quickly walked past him with a worried look.

Monel turned around considering it was rude just to walk past without saying anything.“hey,do you know where Kara is?”

“She is probably at the deo today was her day off.” James said puzzled. “ I thought she told u.”

“She wasn’t there.”

“She might be at home I would look for her but I have a lot of work to do let me know if you find her."James said worriedly.

” ok. “ monel said feeling a little more relaxed knowing she might be at home.

Monel super sped to her apartment.he stopped at her door knocking with the strength a human would use so he didn’t break the door.

She didn’t answer and he didn’t have X-ray vision. Not thinking he kicked the door open luckily it didn’t break. He didn’t see her anywhere. ” Kara are you here.“ He said shouting! He suddenly heard something fall. It came from her room. He opened the door to her room quickly.

She must have been sleeping based on her being wrapped in a blanket on the on the floor. She fought the blanket trying to see who walked in her room shouting.

She finally got the blanket off of her going into super hero mode. ” monel what happened? is everything ok? is anyone hurt?“

” no um u weren’t at the deo or catco and no one really knew where you were. I called you like ten times. I got worried.“ He said looking imbarrassed scratching his cheek.

"Monel I can take care of myself!” She said angrily.“how did u even get in here?” She asked walking into her kitchen. she looked at her door wide open with a boot mark on the front.

“ you broke in! You can’t just break into someone’s house like that monel.” Angrily laughing and rubbing her head she calmed down a little trying to listen to what he was saying.

His cheeks were burning brighter than the red sun of krypton and daxam. He was Embarrassed and his heart was in pain “ I know Kara I know you have powers! I know you can take care of yourself! but that doesn’t mean I still don’t worry about you.look I’m sorry,but I don’t know what else to say I…..” Kara looked at him but didn’t say anything. “ Kara you already know why I get worried just forget about it and don’t worry I won’t tell Alex that you lied to her. Actually why did you lie to her?”

“ I can’t.” She replied shyly looking at the floor.

“ you can’t tell me why u lied to her? Kara what’s going on?”

“No I can’t tell you why!"she said getting frustrated.” His face looked hurt and his pain ended up making her upset and she calmed down.“ ” I um I didn’t sleep last night.i was thinking…….about what you said.“

"I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable. when u said you didn’t trust me I thought u wanted to hear the truth, I’m sorry.”

“ no I did want you to tell the truth and I guess I should to… I-um i didn’t want to forget it. I didn’t want to forget about what you said. I lied to Alex because I wanted to avoid you. I thought it would be awkward to come to the deo after what you said, but it’s more awkward now than it ever could of been.i couldn’t stop thinking about how you said my eyes looked like comets,and and that you were ok that u we’re going to die after you kissed me. I guess it just caught me off guard.”

Monel stood there frozen in thought trying to figure out what to say. “What are u saying?"he said still very confused.

” That I may have not hated the kiss and I think that’s why I couldn’t stop thinking about it.“

” so u did like it?“ He said with a smile creeping on his lips.

” I don’t know what to think monel.can we can we just talk about this tomorrow I really need to get some rest?“

” no, im not leaving this time I didn’t want to forget either! I thought you didn’t feel the same.

“I don’t.. I do I don’t know just leave.. please.”

“ fine!!” He said angrily leaving slamming the door and crushing the handle in doing so. Kara didn’t feel super anymore, she just felt like crying.

Kara went to her room and cried her self to sleep.she woke up about 3 hours later still feeling guilty. It was five o'clock and it was already getting dark,but she couldn’t take it anymore she needed to find monel. She put on her regular clothes assuming he would be at the alien bar and flew there. She walked into the front of the establishment looking for monel ,but he wasn’t there. she almost went to the deo but saw someone past out in a booth; it was monel for sure. She grabbed him and super sped back to her apartment laying him on her grayish couch.

Monel woke up in a dark room with a headache. “Where am I?"he said feeling a blanket that felt familiar. Its karas he thought to himself, how did I get here?

Suddenly, a light turned on illuminating Kara as she went to her kitchen to get a glass of water. not even noticing that monel was awake! she was wearing gray pajama pants and a lose cotton shirt.

"Hey can I have a glass.” He said as karas cup shattered into a million pieces . “ uhh!!!!! you scared me” Kara said holding her chest. “ yeah… just let me clean this up.”

She cleaned up the glass and brought him some water. “ I would have given u some aspirin but it probably wouldn’t help. She laughed giving him his drink.

” what is as-pir-in?“ he said holding his head from the excruciating headache

"nothing.” she said still laughing while sitting beside monel.

“Aren’t you going back to sleep?” monel questioned her. “ no and after that i will probably never sleep again” he laughed at the notion and drank his water while Kara turned on the tv .they sat there the rest of the night watching random old kid shows.

Monel woke up with a slight headache still,but that wasn’t what he was thinking about. The night before Kara was on the other side of the couch, but to monels surprise he woke up with Kara sleeping on his chest with his hand wrapped around her waist. Knowing she would wake up embarrassed he got up as carefully as he could trying not to wake the beautiful kryptonian. He finally managed to break free of her grasp deciding to make breakfast so she didn’t need to.

He had watched Kara make pancakes before so he thought he would give it a shot.

Kara woke up to her delight with the smell of pancakes. Realizing she Hadn’t cooked anything freaked her out. she got up look at her kitchen. The only thing that was there was two plates with stacks of pancakes on them and monel struggling to get pancake batter off his hands.

“ monel did you make these?” “ yeah you were still sleeping and I was hungry so I decided to make breakfast.” “ wow monel, thanks!do u need help with the batter?” She said gesturing to his hands, giggling.

“ actually yes sadly I have been defeated by the delicious flat bread.” He said with kind of a dorky voice. They both giggled and Kara grabbed a wet towel to help him with his messy problem.

Kara gently pulled his hands in front of her,and she began wiping away the pancake batter while monel looked at her in wonder.

“ I’m sorry.” She blurted “ for what,” monel said still staring at her. “ for telling you to leave last night you were just worried and I shouldn’t of yelled at you. ” oh that well I guess you had a right to I did kind of break in your house.“ They both laughed and looked up. Kara looked in his ocean blue eyes and couldn’t help but to close hers and lean forward.

” so are you ready to eat?“ monel interrupted not aware of what was about to happen. A frustrated kara replied with ” um y- yeah lets let’s eat.“

They both sat down and devoured their meal this time monel actually tried syrup and he liked it.

Monel looked down at his last bite and smiled ” so are you coming to training today because if y……….. “ monel I need to tell you something.” Kara dropped her fork and looked up at him with all the courage she could. “ yeah what’s going on?” “ I like you” she said “ Yeah I like you to partner.” “No….. um I possibly want to mate with you someday.” She laughed king of nervously.

She expected him to laugh to but he didn’t.

“ oh. Oh!” He said surprised “ I care about u to monel, a lot.” When he didn’t say anything Kara got up and put her plate in the sink. He got up and started helping her with the dishes to.

“ so what do we do now?” He asked, “earth is different you don’t just mate right?” He said unsure. I’m supposed to take you on a u on a uh a date right?“

” Yeah you can if you want. a date can be watching a movie,or just doing things in common you know how it works. I’m sure whin explained it to you.“ She said still focused on the dishes. At that moment they both looked eachother in the eyes and they were almost as close as they were on the couch. ” Kara Danvers will you go on a date with me.“he said very calmly. Karas voice was shaky and she felt like she couldn’t say anything so she answered his question in a different way. She closed her eyes parted her lips and leaned forward he did the same there lips touched and they began sucking gently. It started like there first kiss but it ended up being a little more passionate. Monel grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. She grabbed the nap of his neck and rubbed her other hand through his hair. When she thought they went to far she pulled away slowly! "Wow daximite save some for the first date.” she smiled, gave him a peck on the cheek,and finished cleaning the dishes with a smile that hadn’t faded.
