The Little Boy

Summary: A new survivor joins the manor or maybe he was always there.

"Naib..." Naib tried to ignore William. It was late, he had a match early in the morning, and he already knew there was going to be a new guest during that one which means he had to be extra vigilant so the newbie isn't taken out by the Hunter early.

All that before breakfast he might add.

"Naiiiibbb....are you awake?" The Forward called out in a low voice.

"I was Will..." Grumbled Naib who sat up. Clearly ignoring him wasn't going to do anything. "What do you want?"

"I think I saw a ghost when heading back to my room from the bathroom." The Mercenary raised an eyebrow.

"And?" If William hadn't noticed before but the manor was filled with all kinds weird things, ghosts included.

"It's not one of the ones we know and I think it was following me." A pillow came flying his way. William ducked while Naib curled back under the covers.

"Go back to bed." He said in a mutter.

"Ok, ok, sheesh..." The door closed and Naib sighed in relief. Whatever spooked William can wait after the match and breakfast.

-----------------------------------

A child....

The Mercenary stared at the seat at the end of the lobby table in disbelief.

Another child....

A little boy with a messy mop of black hair, brown eyes hidden under said hair, a simple shirt with the sleeves rolled up and suspenders. He was happily swinging his bare feet in the air humming a tune and playing with a wooden bird.

Sitting next to him was Tracy Reznik who was clearly dozing off. She must have worked late again; bad idea when it comes to early morning matches. The boy noticed him and gave him an enthusiastic wave. Naib only returned with a small wave of his own.

"That's the ghost!" Naib nearly leapt out of his skin from William's sudden bellow and Tracy had certainly jumped a foot or two in the air.

"I'm not a ghost. This paper says I'm the In...ter...lo...per. What's that mean?" This boy really was a child.

Interloper....That was probably one of the more interesting titles among them. Did he understand what was happening?

Before anyone could answer the sound of glass breaking and the fog descended on them.

------------------

Darkwoods;

This map was eerie; what seemed like what was once a child's playground was now littered with debris, traps, feral dogs, and gods know what else. And they were up against Nightmare and this was one of the grounds he was most dangerous in.

Like the others, Naib had gone to decode a cipher working slowly so as to not set off the gods awful sound it would make if he didn't get it right.

"Hi" A voice squeaked and it caused Naib to miss a calibration. "Oops."

Oops indeed, Naib whipped his head around to snap at the other player and saw it was the Interloper. Sweat was already forming on his brow as he tried to take deep breaths trying to focus on the now than the past.

"What are you doing here?!" His voice was shaky. He should be decoding his own cipher in order help the team.

"The other cipher was broken, can I help with this one?" The older man was about to answer but a crow started circling the cipher. The pounding of his heart started to grow louder.

He was coming.

"No run now!" The Interloper obeyed but followed where Naib was going. Crap! Right, a kid, he's dealing with a kid and the kid is going to follow him, not pick the smarter choice and split.

"There you are brat!" The deep and crackled voice of Nightmare cut through the air. If Naib didn't know any better though, that voice sounded much more angry than usual.

Nightmare lunged for the child but thankfully the boy quickly dodged and leapt over a windowsill with much more ease than most of the other survivors. Nightmare growled and vaulted over the same window when a new sound started to fill the air.

A single warbling bird call that soon erupted into a cacophony when hundreds more birds started to swarm just above their heads. Naib covered his ears it was so loud and Nightmare seemed to be doing even worse with the noise. This was a good chance to put distance between himself and Nightmare.

It wasn't long before Naib was out of the area the swarm was flying over, the noise lessened. It was then he heard at the sound of a cipher pop, then another. Two down,three to go, if things went right, they could win this.

---------------

A tie....

Nightmare was a menace at the end game usually if he used both the teleportation ability and his own ability. He managed to down Tracy and Naib himself when his own mind fought against him at a crucial moment and a single hit brought him down.

In the end, The Forward and the Interloper made it out while Tracy and Naib were sent back to the manor. They met again at the lobby and found something rather interesting.

"Back off man! The tie was fair!" Forward was keeping Nightmare from reaching the boy.

"Hand me that brat!" He really sounded angry. Naib and Tracy watched as the child only blew a raspberry at the Hunter.

"I said back off!" Nightmare only growled before angrily storming off. In a fit he swiped at the wall leaving a large gouge behind.

"What the heck was that about?" Tracy asked.

"Nightmare was pissed the kid kept outsmarting him, ain't that right Little Man?"

"Uh-uh! I kept calling birds to help!" The Interloper proudly declared coming from under the table and showing off the wooden toy around his neck.

"So that was you?" Naib asked.

"Yeah! When I use this whistle I can get a flock of birds to swarm over me and anyone near me. It's loud though so everyone has a harder time running. If I wanted to, I can make them attack the Hunter but that means my whistle breaks faster."

"Oh I get it, you help contain the Hunter." Tracy deduced.

"Yeah!" A creak echoed in the lobby. In a doorway opposite the survivor and hunter entrance stood the peculiar form of Miss Nightingale herself.

"Oh I gotta go, I haven't had breakfast yet." The Interloper ran off to Miss Nightingale both disappearing through the doorway, leaving behind three puzzled survivors.

"...Intruder..." Tracy said aloud.

"Wha..." William arched an eyebrow.

"That's essentially what his title means. He's a stranger, an outsider..."

"He's not supposed to be here." Naib finished.

Like so many of the survivors before, this one had questions surrounding him. But unlike the others, his seemed to go in another direction. Rather than what brought him to the manor, why was he at the manor? What did he have to do with Miss Nightingale. Why was Nightmare so riled up when he saw him?

What made him the outsider amongst outsiders?

Naib sighed.

Only time would tell he guessed.

INTRO

How these men show their undying love for their one and only—you.

꒰wc꒱ 1.1k

✦— THE BATTER

Ganji Gupta didn’t dare dream of the day he’d find his one and only, his true love, someone to grow old and tired with until his heart gave out on itself. Unfortunately, his newfound situation halted any progress he could’ve made.

That was until you arrived at the manor with a letter to hell in your hands. That was until he got to know you better. That was until you shared your first kiss on New Year’s Eve. Ever since then, he’s been completely and utterly yours.

Ganji Gupta is the type of man to show his love and devotion to you through meaningful Acts of Service. There’s little to nothing the Batter wouldn’t do for you. He isn’t above taking hits for you in matches when needed, and he will use his last ball to save you from getting sent back to the manor.

Ganji Gupta who, as much as he loves being on his own, gets a bit lonely at times. Therefore, he loves nothing more than to spend some Quality Time with you. He prefers long walks around the perimeter of the manor and also enjoys getting to rest his head in your lap as the two of you lounge about.

Ganji Gupta teaches you the recipes passed down to him by his Mother. It makes for a great way to spend time together whilst making sure he doesn’t forget them in the process. Cooking with you brings back bittersweet memories and reminds him of his Mother all too much.

Ganji Gupta frequently wakes up from relentless night terrors. He’s heard of other Survivors describing their own experiences with them but didn’t think it would happen to him. Now he finds himself waking up in a cold sweat and alone in bed with nobody to calm him down. This leads to him sleeping in your dorm room more often than not in a way to help combat these nightmares. Hopefully, he can get some rest tonight thanks to your help.

✦— FIRST OFFICER

Who doesn’t know the brave young man Jose Baden? The Sea Knight who wields a pocket watch said to have been blessed by Posiden himself, the artifact that always ensures smooth sailing? The First Officer is punctual, humble, and always knows what he wants. He just didn’t expect it to be you.

Nonetheless, the heart can guide a man better than any map can. He may indeed have fallen for you first, but you undeniably fell harder. Although, who wouldn’t with the way he constantly sweeps you off your feet?

Jose Baden is always true to his words when it comes to you, and therefore showers you with Words of Affirmation. It makes communication between the two of you much easier when there’s nothing to hide. And there are only so many words to describe his love for you, so we’ll have to start from the top and work our way down.

Jose Baden, who cannot keep his hands off you. No matter where the two of you are. Physical Affection is this man's specialty and has been embedded into his DNA. It's the simple things like his pinky finger being entwined with yours or his arm around your shoulder, holding you close.

Jose Baden isn’t afraid to show his love for you in front of others and would never shy away from it. It’s truly a gift to be head over heels, so why hide it? Why not show off what he’s got and everything that’s so precious about ‘em?

Jose Baden who can’t help but take a hit for you in games. He doesn’t ever want to see your blood spilled, and would rather have his coat on the map instead. He’s ready to face the stern talking you’ll give him after the match, but you’ll patch him up anyway.

Jose Baden doesn't like admitting the fact that he misses the sea badly. The things Jose would do just for an evening back on the ocean are wild and many. The closest thing he's got is Lakeside Village, but even the calming waves that brush upon the shore can't heal the pain in his heart. The Officer will admit his feelings to you in an act of desperation and comfort. And comfort he receives from you. From cuddling and listening to him rant about the ocean for the 100th time to peppering his face with soft kisses that seemingly never stop.

✦— FORWARD

Said to have been the creator of Rugby himself, you always want William Ellis on your team. He successfully lifts the spirits of all his teammates while headbutting into the Hunter just before they use excitement. It's the thought that counts, right?

To have William in your corner means to have someone who is with you through thick and thin. Someone who will stick by your side until the end of time itself. And until you can finally realize just how much the Rugby Star adores you.

William Ellis who can’t help but hold you close. Physical Affection is this man’s go-to for showing how much he loves you. Like Jose, he will never feel embarrassed or ashamed when showering you with his form of love and affection. He’s either got an arm around your waist or your hand in his—there’s no in-between.

William Ellis loves Giving Gifts just as much as he loves Receiving Them. While the Forward’s not the best at picking out pre-made gifts, he is the best at making ones straight from the heart. Using his clues and fragments, he’ll craft something he finds worthy of gifting you. Whether it be something like a small, red box in the shape of a heart or a bracelet that has your and his initials on it, the gifts are all made with you in mind.

That being said, William Ellis will treasure anything you gift him in return. And that can be anything. Silly little notes passed underneath the table during dinner. A beaded anklet that has left a tan mark because he never takes it off. Or a smaller version of his Ruby ball with every stitch being almost exact.

William Ellis who’s afraid he might not be good enough for you. Who fears that one day he may be forgotten by everyone he’s ever loved. Maybe that’s why he works so damn hard. To prove to himself (and others) that he’s worth remembering. Fortunately, there’s no need to go the extra mile when it comes to you. William’s proven himself more than enough already, hasn’t he?

note: a little gift for all my Ganji, William, and Jose lovers out there. made 4: @rieuvie + @williamkisser + @ch6douin +@jklovu + @5ku11h34rt

♡— The Mercenary and Forward when they’re sick

♡— I don’t know how to start…. here we are. I was talking with @fishermanshook some time ago on discord about random stuff as always when i expressed that i feel like writing something. I discussed it a little, i started writing a draft on tumblr and ended up writing something completely diffrent lol. But anyways. If you know me from my @williaml0ver account you’re most likely aware i retired from writing like… three months ago? I just gave up on doing it. But now that time passes i feel quite rested and ready to write something silly. Maybe from time to time i may write something more. Either way, i hope you all enjoy writing my goofy fic.

♡— Warnings: g/n reader, short fluffy hcs, a little over 400 words for each character

♡— You instantly received some mixed signals from the rugby player when he refused to wear warmer clothes on the way to his match. Sure, the days were still fairly warm, however at nights it could get really cold. William, who seemed very bold before going out, is now tucked in his bed with two blankets on.

♡— At first, the Forward feels embarrassed. He should have listened. William would like to pretend everything if fine to save his pride, but he can’t hide the symptoms even if his life depended on it. When he sneezes, it’s like if there was a small earthquake in the room - at least from what you can hear in the other room.

♡— This man leads a healthy lifestyle. Obviously, he is an athlete. He also eats a lot, mostly healthy food and has a consistent diet. You barely see him ill. But when he IS, he can be very unbearable, only calm when he’s asleep. Thank god he gets back to his shape swiftly.

♡— Inevitably, the signs of William’s illness grow stronger with time. Still, it’s just an ordinary cold, but judging by his dramatic behaviour you’d think you’ve got a victorian baby about to die from fever.

♡— That’s right. Being sick is never a fun thing, but William plans to make the best out of it. He loves being babied by you. He’s a cute menace. Constantly whimpering or whining that he’s dying and needs cuddles and kisses. He will convince you to snuggle together, knowing there’s a risk of you catching the cold as well.

♡— Whenever you’re not around, he would play with his plushies by throwing them up the ceiling and then catch them. Obviously, if one of them falls on the floor, he will specifically call for you to pick them up. Later on, he claims to already feel better, which obviously is not true. He’d get scolded for going to the toilet on bare feet, without slippers on. Much to your horror, William even takes off his fuzzy pajama and starts walking around only with his boxers on. He claims the sweat is unbearable. To avoid such situations, he needs some entertainment. Maybe play board games together? Or just have a nice chat. He’d also appreciate it if you read him a bedtime story and cuddled together.

♡— When it comes to medicine, William struggles with swallowing pills. For some reason, he just can’t do it. He needs all of his medicine as liquid, and still he would complain a little, claiming the taste is unbearable. If there’s no drinkable alternative, you may as well attempt to blackmail him into swallowing. Just say you won’t cuddle with him anymore, he’ll swallow those pills immediately.

♡— Overall, when sick, William turns into a baby. Like i said, he’s only calm when he’s sleeping.

♡— As a Mercenary, Naib has to deal and interact with a lot of people, dead and alive. He is, of course, always very cautious. There is literally no room for a mistake at a job like this, which means he pays a lot of attention to hygiene. Obviously, even if someone tries to avoid illness, everyone can get sick sometimes. Mercenaries included.

♡— When Naib’s approaching home, he begins to feel some sort of weird feeling in his throat. One thing leads to another and quickly enough he starts sneezing and feeling cold. The first feeling that comes to his head is confusion. Is this sickness going to develop further? Will he be able to continue his duties the next day? As soon as he comes home, he actually seeks medicine, but he doesn’t explicitly tell you that he’s caught a cold - though there will be signs. There’s just a growing feeling of unnecessary shame in his mind. He wishes for both of you to live peacefully, without worrying for money, so he considers to continue, despite being sick.

♡— Naib, just like William is a healthy man. He has his routine and is fit, he also eats healthy. He gets ill a little more often than the Forward, but still, it’s a rather rare occurence when you see him coughing. Surprisingly enough, when you realize he’s sick, he doesn’t protest when you tell him to rest. Naib is actually calm and obedient. As much as weak and uncomfortable the virus makes him feel, he probably enjoys not having to be in charge from time to time. He as well heals fast.

♡— The Mercenary tries to stop the cold before it starts to intensify. He stays in bed and takes the needed medicine, but it is sadly no help. Yet, he won’t make a big scene of it. You might hear him complain about having a sore throat here and there, but it’s not constant.

♡— He won’t mind, and will be actually grateful when you take care of him, but he’s capable of healing on his own. It’s up to you if you want to take the risk and cuddle with him, Naib won’t force you, although he’d like it a lot. Usually, you’re the one clinging to the Mercenary when sleeping, to your surprise, for this period he becomes a greedy cuddle bug. You may tell him that he’s gripping you a little to rough.

♡— Whenever you’re not around, at first he’d probably find a way to kill time. Would appreciate it if you brought him a book. While going through illness, his appetite, which already is quite big by default, would raise drastically. You should control him a little, unless you want to see him running to the toilet every ten minutes. After some time, Naib states that he already feels stronger and wants to help around the house, which you should not allow him to. Make sure he’s not overworking himself. While he usually prefers to sleep in boxers and a tank top, for sick days he actually dresses up in his pajama.

♡— About medicine, he won’t complain about it and will take whatever you offer him, Naib however is an avid enjoyer of natural medicine, saying that the factory-made one doesn’t taste that great. Both ways are fine though. Maybe prepare some warm tea for him?

♡— Overall, taking care of a sick Naib is a pleasant experience. He is very calm and doesn’t make much hustle.
