Prologue

Chapter 1

“-and then he just leaves. What do I even do with that?”

“Uh-huh, uh-huh,” Your roommate hums, refilling up your glass of wine. “And you don’t have his number, so you can’t call or text him right?” You take a large sip, nodding and trying not to spill wine on your pajamas.

Well, kind of.

You hadn’t told anyone about Cruz, not even your family, because frankly you didn't know where to start. But when you walked into the apartment, sullen and dragging your feet, your roommate, Caitlyn, had offered wine, ice cream, and a willing ear. That's when the floodgates opened (with some modified details, of course).

“We’re meeting at our usual place in a couple days, I just…”Another sip of wine,”...hate sitting here, not knowing what he’s feeling, what I did, how I’m feeling.” You set down your glass and throw yourself back against the couch, sinking into the cushions. “I feel so stupid, like a fucking teenager, and I hate it.” Caitlyn sets her own wine glass down and nudges the half-empty ice cream carton towards you.

“It’s for the best your feeling all this now, then you can come at ‘im all composed and articulate. Really throw him off his game.” You grab a spoon and the carton, Caitlyn patting your shoulder as you take a pathetic bite.

“You’re right but I-I don’t even know. I’ve never done anything like this before.”

“Sounds like this guy’s got you hooked. At least that’s a start right?” Caitlyn hums, pressing her chin into her palm. “To be completely honest, Sam took a couple days to warm up to me. And I never told her this, but she gave me hardcore pretentious vibes on our first date.”

Caitlyn gives a long spiel about her awkward first soulmate date (“Seriously, who brings up ‘the superiority of vinyl’ on the first date!”), and if you were in the mind to be a good roommate, or hadn’t heard this story before, you might’ve listened closer. But only one question was occupying your thoughts; Did Cruz like you?

--------

You arrive at the boardwalk an hour early. You don’t immediately go to the tidepool, instead choosing to take a long walk on the beach, taking a moment to calm your racing heart and collect your thoughts.

You like Cruz. You like him as much as two people who just met can, despite a less-than-romantic first impression. But does he like you?

You never thought you would have to ask your soulmate that.

There’s a small thwap as you slap your cheeks, heat simmering your skin even as the cold water laps at your feet.

This is ridiculous. You’ve talked twice. Caitlyn and Sam have a thriving relationship (You should know, you share a wall with Caitlyn) and even they got off to a rocky start.

The pit grows in your stomach, thinking of Cruz’s disinterested stare as he swims into the open ocean. The weight of it almost sinks to your toes.

You shake your head, slapping your cheeks once more.

Today is a new day. Just go through the motions _____.

You reach the tidepool, setting down your picnic blanket and bag. You grab one of your notebooks and prop it open as you bite into an apple. You’re 30 minutes early, might as well get some reading done.

The waves crash and pull against the rocks, pleasant studying ambience, but is interrupted by several clicks and abrupt, out of rhythm, splashes. You look up, immediately in awe of the sight.

About 50 feet away from the entrance to the tidepool is a pod of dolphins, breaching out of the water. You grab a pencil, your phone, and your notebook, tiptoeing through the tidepool to get a better look.

Good choice wearing water shoes today.

From closer up, you notice the distinct lack of dorsal fins and realize they must be Northern White Whale Dolphins. 60 of them have congregated in a group, most likely scouting for easy food or taking a rest.

Their pod is pretty small though. What are they doing so close to the shore?

The pod continues to play as you take shaky photos with your camera, trying to balance your notebook and pencil in the crook of your elbow. Through your viewfinder, you spot a familiar shape, not 30 feet from the pod, peeking his head out of the water. Cruz’s black eyes narrow into focus before he fully submerges. Your eyes widen as you lower your camera.

The water above Cruz rushes as he swims closer and closer to the pod. You tuck your phone back into your pocket as you finagle your way up to a nearby rock. You need a better view, and it might be best to be out of the water while this happens.

The dolphins haven’t noticed Cruz yet, still gliding along the waves. There's a quick flash of his strong back before he dives even deeper into the water. The rock slightly digs into your stomach as you lean over to get a better look.

What I wouldn’t give for a drone right now.

Before long, there is a burst of clicks, the largest dolphins quickly surrounding the group and issuing them away. They’ve spotted Cruz, but one is a little too slow.

Cruz’s dorsal fin cuts through the water, close enough to the surface that you can make out the details of his determined face. His eyes have latched onto the slowest dolphin and his speed increases exponentially. His long tail flicks back and forth as he gains on it.

*******

The dolphin flips into the air, trying to gain distance. But like a flash Cruz’s large hand shoots out of the water, getting a hold of the dolphin’s tail, and pulls. You see his shoulder and tricep bulge as the dolphin thrashes in his grip. His head once again breaches the water as he digs his other clawed hand into the dolphin’s side, raking into it as he pulls the dolphin closer to him. The two tussle and wrestle against each other, going in and out of the water as the dolphin tries to push Cruz away.

But Cruz is limber, keeping a tight grip on the dolphin as he maneuvers his body alongside it. His torso raises up as he pushes the dolphin down under the water and into submission. Cruz then yanks the dolphin’s front upwards and out of the water, grip still tight on it’s rear, before opening up his maw and tearing into the dolphin’s neck. He rips his head back and forth until the dolphin stills, a large pool of red slowly cascading around them.

*******

Your pencil hangs loosely in your fingers as you watch, eyes locked on Cruz. You think the struggle must’ve lasted only 20 seconds, but in the moment, it felt like hours. Cruz’s chest heaves as he takes another bite, serrated teeth easily ripping the flesh, as casual as the lobster roll from your last meeting.

Blood drips from his mouth and covers his claws. His cards his fingers back through his hair, leaving crimson streaks that shine against his black locks. Cruz bites off another mouthful before heaving the dolphin onto his shoulder.

As a large science nerd, you’ve always enjoyed watching nature in progress. But a new, exciting, vaguely uncomfortable feeling stirs in your gut as you watch Cruz suck in his fingers, picking out stray bits of meat from his large, sharp teeth. A feeling like a shiver rushing down your spine and heat in between your legs.

Oh my god. Why was that the hottest thing I’ve ever seen?

Cruz turns away and submerges himself, giving you a nice shot of his defined back muscles as he sums up his hunt. You can’t take your eyes off his form moving just below the water, even as your 5 PM alarm goes off.

You knew Cruz was larger, and far stronger, than you, but seeing him in his element reminds you just how easily he could tear you apart.

God, and I kind of want him to.

As he swims further away from the shore, you see two black dots in the distance. You take out your phone again and open up the camera to zoom in.

Speaking of huge. Holy shit.

The focus is a little blurry, but it’d be hard for you to miss the massive mermaids. With only their shoulders and up out of water, they still tower over Cruz by at least a head each. Both have long black hair, intertwined with what looks to be seaweed and various types of shells. The one on the right is holding two larger masses over her shoulders, positioned the way a lumberjack would hold a fallen tree. Cruz reemerges with his dolphin in tow, frighteningly small.

Cruz’s gestures indicate they’re having a conversation, mostly one-sided. The dolphin on Cruz’s back bounces as he talks animatedly, his hunt small when compared to the two weights the right mermaid carries. With your old phone you can only catch a glimpse of the left mermaid’s lips moving. Cruz’s energy dims as she continues and he seems to sink deeper into the water.

The left mermaid holds out her hand. Cruz hesitates, then throws his dolphin into her arms. She swings it over like it weighs nothing and then shakes her hand as if to shoo him away. The right one rumbles with laughter. Cruz nods, solemn as the two submerge and swim away.

Cruz stays there for a minute, looking out at the horizon. When he finally turns, his movements are lethargic as he swims towards the tidepool.

You scramble down from the rock and quickly tiptoe  back to your blanket, fumbling to stuff your notebook and pencil back into your bag.

Cruz glides in, his eyes not meeting yours, locked in thought.

“Hey Cruz.” You wave, struggling to catch your breath from your impromptu rush.

Cruz slowly looks up at you, still slightly downcast.

“Hey. Sorry I’m late.” You  shake your head furiously.

“It’s no problem! I got her kind of early, and then I saw you hunting and didn’t want to bother.” Cruz’s eyes widen a bit, before her recoils into himself and sheepishly rubs the back of his neck.

“Oh, sorry. You probably didn’t want to see that….” You once again shake your hands and head back and forth.

“No! No I-, I actually thought it was super cool!” Cruz quirks his eyebrows.

“What?”

“Yeah! It was like my own personal Shark week. Like wow, you looked amazing out there.”

Cruz’s cheek tint a cerulean blue, the corners of his lips turning up at the sides as he fiddles with his fingers.

“And those dolphins are the fastest kind around here, but bam! You were on them like a firecracker, kind of wish I had a slow motion camera.” You laugh, before realizing Cruz probably didn’t understand half of your analogies. “You looked uh, you were really good at it.”

Well duh, you idiot. He’s a shark.

“Thank you.” Cruz shoots you a tiny smile, blush still running across his face and down his neck. The ensuing silence is only slightly uncomfortable, as Cruz’s blush stays strong and you're sure you develop one of your own. You try and focus on something else to calm down, but catch a glimpse of his biceps, and fail miserably.

“Oh, that’s right.” Cruz reaches over and sticks his hand in between two nearby rocks. His brow furrows before his eyes light up, and he pulls out a….handbag?

It’s loosely sewn together with kelp, made of some sort of seal skin and closed with a seashell button. Cruz pops it open and begins to rummage inside.

“Gotcha.” Cruz pulls something out of the bag, before turning and hiding it behind his back.

“Uh, whatcha got there?” Cruz smiles, his blue blush painting his face from top to tip.

“I found this thing and thought you um….might want to look at it?” Cruz pulls his arm in front, revealing a reflective white shell, just a bit longer than his palm.

“It’s not a crab, but I thought it was neat looking so….”

You slowly move towards him, gesturing to ask if you can hold the shell. Cruz nods, almost shoving it into your hand.

The color is completely white, sharp, almost polished-looking. It carves into several rings before sloping into a point. It’s empty, the inside free of any sand or tiny algae.

“Do you know what it’s called?”

You look back to Cruz and nearly brush your nose against his. You realize how hot his body heat is as he leans over you to look at the shell. Your shoulders just barely touch.

As if dipped into boiling water, your face alights into red and your body convulses to jerk away from the heat.

“Yeah-Yes! Actually I do, it’s-it looks like a Kellets W-Welk. Well, the remains of one’s shell anyway.”

Cruz stays close, letting out a small “Ohhh.” as he squints his eyes to get a closer look. It’s the most on-land you’ve seen him, with the water lapping at the base of his tail. Sitting down, your head only comes to his clavicle. The uncomfortable burning stirs in your gut.

“Is it a hermit crab?”

“Not, it’s a sea snail. They're not really on land like crabs.” You brush your thumbs over the shell’s ridges. “There are quite a few varieties of sea snails around here, lots of beautiful shells. Their babies look pretty cool too.”

Cruz nods, eyes intent, and it reminds you of the elementary kids you saw when working at the aquarium. Your heart skips as you futilely try to fight the smile on your face.

“Can you eat ‘em?”

You chuckle and Cruz’s face grows a darker shade of blue. “Yeah, you can. You’ve got a good eye for snacks huh?”

Cruz pouts playfully, blue still awash on his cheeks. “Maybe, but I’m not always thinking about food.” Just as he finishes, you hear his stomach rumble. You stifle your laugh with your hand and Cruz grabs his stomach angrily. “Sh-Shut up! It’s almost dinner!”

The two mermaids flash in your mind. You see Cruz handing over the dolphin as they swim away. Then you see Cruz, furiously cracking open crabs with a single-minded purpose. The smile drops from your chin.

How often does that happen?

Cruz was small for a Great White. You hadn’t even thought about why. You don’t even know if you want to.

“They’re pretty tasty, but their shells are a lot more fun.” Cruz furrows his brow again. “Here, let me show you.” You scoot yourself closer to him, putting the white shell against his ear. His eyes widen and he leans backwards a bit from your closeness, but the shell still lingers by his ear. “Do you hear it?”

Cruz stills, furrowing his brows even deeper, but then they rise in surprise. He leans back towards you, tentatively grabbing your wrist and pulling the shell closer.

“Its-”

“The ocean.”

The same childlike wonder from before flushes on his face as he looks at you, bringing your stomach a flutter. Cruz presses his head down closer to the shell, the bottom of his cheek now touching your palm. Cruz’s skin is cool against yours, slightly damp, and you feel the hint of roughness as his chin brushes against your wrist.

“How-How did you-”

“My mom showed me once. I mean, technically it’s the echo of the blood coursing through your ear, which reverberates and sounds like waves crashing. But it’s still a neat trick.”

“Oh, I see….”

From this close, you can see the small freckles which dapple Cruz’s cheeks, peppering across the bridge of his nose and up onto his forehead. Specks of dark blue, black, and green contrasts against his light gray skin, like the setting sun catching the pulling tides.

In the moment, you long to touch them.

So you do.

It’s so….soft.

As your thumb brushes up his jaw, the mottled colors are overwhelmed and overshadowed by Cruz’s furious blush. Cruz moves away so quickly that he unfurls his grip on a nearby rock and loses his balance. He braces himself and hisses as his thin skin nicks the corner of a rock.

“Oh my god, I’m so-so sorry! I just- oh my goodness are you okay?” You retract the shell closer to your chest, your other hand outstretched to steady Cruz. When he flinches away, you pull it back. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have invaded your personal space like that.”

Cruz's chest heaves but he doesn’t move or say anything. From the corner of your eye you spot a tiny bit of blood leaking onto the rock.

“Oh shit, wait I-I should have something.” You whip around to your backpack, shuffling and pushing aside your notebook to find your emergency first aid kit. Water wells in the corner of your eyes as you frantically search. You desperately try to will the tears away.

Stupid, stupid, stupid stupid-

Your inner insults are interrupted when your fingers brush against the familiar plastic fabric pouch. Before turning back to Cruz, you hastily wipe your eyes.

“Here, this should help.” You hold out the small thing of gauze and an antiseptic wipe. Cruz slowly takes them, fiddling with the gauze until it's undone. He picks up the antiseptic package with the tips of his forefinger and thumb, eyes squinting as he tries to read the small text.

“That’s to clean the wound with, to get the gross stuff out.” Cruz’s eyes narrow even further, brushing his thumb over the paper wrapping. Tentatively, he plops the unwrapped wipe on his wound. He looks back, clearly confused. “You have to unwrap it first, then wipe it.” His blush returns as he jerks his eyes away from you, embarrassed with you watching.

“I could do-”

“I’ve got it.” Cruz snaps, finding the perforation and ripping it off quickly.

“Okay, but it’s gonna sting-”

“Ow, shit!” Cruz curses as he presses the wipe against the apex of his cut, whining and biting his lower lip.

“If it’s hurting that means it’s working.” Cruz nods, but he hastily wipes the wound and sighs as he crumples it up.Cruz wraps his cut with medical precision, reminding you of boxers right before a match. He cuts the gauze short with a snip of his teeth

“Wow, you're really good at that.” Cruz snorts.

“I don’t need any jackasses going into a frenzy anytime soon. That would be the perfect end to this shit day.”

Your heart freezes as your stomach drops, and you recoil into yourself. The nausea of guilt washes over you. And then that makes you feel even worse, and so the cycle continues.

Cruz notices your sheepish, downtrodden stare, and frantically waves his good hand.

“Wait, shit, no, thats-thats not what I meant. Uh…” He loses track of his sentence, mouth agape as he looks for words. “I mean….thank you.” He fiddles with his claws. “For the bandage, a-and the food a couple days ago. This is...nice.”

You’re almost embarrassed by how quickly his praise perks you up, rolling over your tense muscles like a masseuse.

“Thank you for the shell, it was very thoughtful of you.” Cruz sputters.

“I just passed by it on a swim, it wasn’t a big deal. The reefs got a ton of them, so, y’know.”

You don’t know, but it’s cute watching him fumble with his words. He’s so bashful for an apex predator you saw kill a dolphin not 20 minutes ago.

“I could even-well, it’s close that we- we could go sometime? You and me?” Cruz fiddles with his claws once more, and you wonder if it’s a nervous compulsion. “It’s a little ways away from the coast but with me carrying you, we could probably see a lot.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, really.” Cruz’s nervous smile is much more lopsided than his regular one. It accentuates the dimple on his left cheek.

“I would love that.”

-----------

You decide to meet up early on Saturday to get a head start on the sunlight. You leave the boardwalk giddy, your nerves tingling pleasantly with pre-plan jitters. All this energy means you might have to spill to Caitlyn once more, just to let it all out. You’ll most likely tell her you two are getting breakfast by the beach, maybe stop by an aquarium.

Looking at all the coral and the crustaceans. Just me, in Cruz’s arms-

You stop, your nerves bubbling up under your skin, like steam is blowing out of your ears as you think about what is in store for Saturday.

You’re still not sure how Cruz feels about you. But there isn’t a show of a doubt now; You have a crush on him.

----------

Cruz sits in the water, cracking open a leftover oyster he had left in his bag for emergencies. Emergencies like being so flustered he can't possibly go back to the pod, not without looking incredibly suspicious.

He brushes his thumb over his cheek, and it’s almost like you're there again.

So….soft.

Song Insp. 1 - “Undrunk”

Inspired by “Undrunk” by FLETCHER; Eddie and Richie are in their freshman years at separate colleges, and broken up since high school (Richie didn’t think long distance would work); Anyway, Eddie sees Richie post photos with a cute boy and he gets drunk and he gets voicemail-happy. Enjoy. (Mild sexual content, some profanity, underage drinking, mention of throwing up, but overall pretty tame; Oh, also Pennywise never existed ok thanx)

Voicemail 11 | NOVEMBER 3, 2019 at 2:23 A.M. “I guess the best part of living far, far away from you is forgetting what you look like. Are you even still good-looking? You might be ugly, now too.” *quiet shuffling* ... *tapping noises* “I still got the photos you sent me ... I probably should have deleted them, but I guess I figured if I needed to have ammo ready in case you decided to be a dickhead-”

Voicemail 12 | NOVEMBER 3, 2019 at 2:26 A.M. “Fuck... I forgot...” *muffled noises* ... *a deep, throaty breath* “Fuck...”

Voicemail 13 | NOVEMBER 3, 2019 at 2:50 A.M. “Richie, I... I’m sorry ... This just ... Sucks.” *a deep breath* ... *quiet shuffling* “I don’t think it’s worth anything now and I’ve gotta-” *cough*

Voicemail 14 | NOVEMBER 3, 2019 at 3:14 A.M. *clears throat* “...Well, I feel a little bit better after throwing up ... I’m also now realizing some of the horrible shit I’ve said tonight, so if you stopped listening to these voicemails, I’d understand ... But I’m just ... This is really hard. And I saw that photo of that fuckin guy, and you have your arm around him-”

Voicemail 15 | NOVEMBER 3, 2019 at 3:15 A.M. “Dude, seriously, what the fuck is your voicemail’s problem? It keeps cutting me off. I’m trying to open up here.”

Voicemail 16 | NOVEMBER 3, 2019 at 3:28 A.M. *deep breath* “I’m sorry. This is stupid ... Bye, Rich.”

Voicemail 17 | NOVEMBER 3, 2019 at 3:57 A.M. *quiet sob* “I just... I wish I never met you, sometimes.” *sniffle* “Because now I always compare everyone to you ... And you’re gone, we’re done, like I get it. But it just sucks ... I really wish I could just like, ‘un-fuck’ you. You’re all I can think about when I - ... I hate that I miss you so much. I hate that I drank so much and got so fuckin- ugh, god, I kissed strangers.”

Voicemail 18 | NOVEMBER 3, 2019 at 4:01 A.M. “This is gonna be the biggest regret of my fucking life, leaving you 300 voicemails. Please don’t abuse this. I’m not proud of it.”

Voicemail 19 | NOVEMBER 3, 2019 at 4:31 A.M. “Yeah, jus-” *soft thuds* “Just tell him-” *gentle taps* 

“Rich? It’s Bev again. Hey, so. I’m with Eddie now, I’m making sure he gets to bed and doesn’t choke on his own puke. He said he’s really sorry. Um, but yeah, please don’t humiliate him? He’s kind of an emotional mess. Sorry again.” *shuffling noises* “Jesus, Eddie! How many voicemails did you leave him? He’ll probably send the police looking for us-”

[End of messages. To save messages, press-] *beep*

[Messages saved.]

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

Eddie’s head is pounding as his ears recognize the familiar digital noise ringing next to him. He instinctively picks up his phone and checks his screen.

*Incoming Facetime request from Richie Tozier*

He thinks he might throw up.

*Accept* and the video call connects.

“...Before you say anything, I’m paying for it dearly.” Eddie groans.

His eyes focus on the figure on his screen. It’s obnoxiously close and familiar and makes Eddie ashamed of himself. Richie doesn’t say anything. He just raises his eyebrows and waits for Eddie to say... something?

“And... I’m sorry, Rich.” Eddie rubs sleep from his eyes and feels a strong ache developing in his skull. “I’m an asshole. I’m really sorry. I’ll leave you alone forever now, bye-”

“Eddie!” Richie interrupts ferociously. “You left me. Almost 20 voicemails. What the fuck is your problem? Do you understand that when you leave 20 voicemails for someone, they’re gonna think you’re dead? Or kidnapped? Or trapped under a fallen vending machine, or some shit?!”

“Okay well, if I was kidnapped, it wouldn’t have done me any good. Why didn’t you answer?”

Richie scoffs and pinches the bridge of his nose. “Okay. Fuck off. First of all, you really think this would go any better if you’d talked to me?”

Eddie swallows. “No.”

“And SECONDLY, I left my phone at Stan’s house. We watched Zombeavers and I had my phone on silent.”

“...What the hell is Zombeavers?”

“Eddie are you fucking serious? Don’t ever fucking do that to me again!” He spits faster than anything Eddie’s heard him say and brushes his curls away from his face. “Thank your lucky stars that Beverly was taking care of you. I talked to her this morning.”

Eddie swipes down on his screen to check the time. 1:01 p.m.

“Goddamn it.” Eddie moans. His head is the swampiest he’s ever felt. Like his brain is sloshing around in alcohol. He gags visibly at the thought.

“Whatever you’re feeling, you deserve ten times worse.”

Eddie wipes his mouth and fidgets with his hair, brushing it away from his increasingly warm face. “Okay, I get it. I’m fucking sorry.” He can feel tears forming behind his eyes. “I’m fucking sorry. I was a drunk idiot. I was a jealous asshole and I need to mind my own fucking business.”

Richie doesn’t respond.

Eddie suspects the conversation is concluding, so he prepares to hang up as fast as he can say ‘goodbye’-

“He’s not my boyfriend.”

“What?”

Richie sighs. “The guy in the Instagram photo isn’t my boyfriend, I haven’t hooked up with him or anything. He’s Stan’s roommate. He’s also extremely straight. Like, next level hetero. Annoyingly hetero. I really like making him uncomfortable.”

Well, if Eddie didn’t feel ashamed before, he sure fuckin does now.

“Oh.”

“Yep. So, uh. Nothing to get jealous over, Eds.”

Eddie rolls his eyes. “Still? Can you stop?”

Richie’s face twists in disbelief. “You have no room to tell me to stop anything right now.”

“I’m sorry, though. For being jealous.”

Richie pauses. “It’s okay. A lot of the guys I go to school with are pretty ugly.” He leans away from the phone and shouts, “STANLEY INCLUDED!”

Eddie hears an echoed, “FUCK YOUUUU” from a voice somewhere behind Richie, who laughs. Proud of himself.

Eddie tries to smile, but he’s still empty.

“You have plenty of guys to keep you company, sounds like.” Richie says in a less-than-thrilled tone.

“I gave them pecks on the mouth.” Eddie says without looking back at his phone. “They bought me shots and tried to hit on me, but I don’t want to exchange saliva with strangers. I think I exaggerated in the voicemails, though.”

“Well, you always compare them to me, right? To the Trashmouth?”

Eddie’s own words are restored in his memory. “Jesus christ, I-”

“It’s okay, Eds. After my rage subsided and I talked to Bev and figured out that you were okay, I actually admired the honesty.”

Eddie can’t help but laugh mockingly at himself. “Yeah, that’s me. Super honest. To a fault.”

Richie smiles. “Bev and I talked about hanging out next weekend. Got any plans?”

Eddie’s eyebrow twitches and he looks back to his screen. “What?”

“I’m gonna come up next weekend. Bev invited me to stay for a weekend. I’ve never been to New York.” Richie shrugs.

Eddie can’t form words. He almost forgets that Richie can see him right now via digital video. He shouldn’t want to see Richie, but he does. He knows it now. It’s out of his mouth, out there in the universe. Fuck, it’s recorded in digital audio format.

“Are you free?”

“I uh...” Eddie stutters. “Yeah. Yeah, I- I free.”

“You’re still cute as can be, Eds.” Richie’s smile is sickeningly sweet.

Eddie lets a smile show on his face for a half-second, then presses his lips into a firm line. “Don’t call me Eds.”

Richie’s face changes immediately. “Oh! By the way!” He’s wearing a sleazy grin. “You kept photos of me? ...Like, those photos?”

Eddie has to take a moment to remember.

His face immediately goes neon red at the memory of resurfacing sext pictures and dick pics of Richie that they’d shared their senior years at Derry High School. He’d dug them up in his photo stream and... looked... too long at them. He can’t help but slap his own hand across his expression.

“Dude!” Richie laughs and is fixated on Eddie’s reaction. “Are you serious? You kept those? I thought I was an asshole for keeping a photo of you shirtless. You kept pictures of my dick?”

“Ok.” Eddie tries to punctuate the conversation.

“What else? I think I remember sending you my ass a couple times.”

“Alright, Rich. Don’t rub it in. I’m not proud of what I did.”

Richie pauses. “What do you mean ‘what you did?’”

Eddie feels like he might drop dead from self-inflicted humiliation. He doesn’t respond, he tries to think of a deflect.

“Eddie Kaspbrak...” Richie’s breath hitches in his throat. He’s not smiling. “Did you jerk off last night between voicemails?”

“Okay Rich, I’m sorry again about all the voicemails. But we’re good now, right?” Eddie presses.

“EDDIE DID YOU JERK OFF TO PHOTOS OF ME?” Richie yells, giant grin on his face and his eyes going dark. There’s a muffled, “What the fuck?” that comes from Stanley somewhere in the background, and Eddie is going to throw himself into oncoming traffic because certain death is better than the absolute tormenting embarrassment of this situation.

“You’ll figure everything out with Bev and we’ll see you next weekend, yeah?“ Eddie rushes to end the conversation.

“Hey! What the fuck! All I have is a shirtless pic to work off of, you’ve got like, Spielberg angles on my anatomy!” Richie chuckles. “Send me some new material, fucker!”

“Wow. Oh my god. Okay, good to talk to you, Rich.”

“Eddie.” Richie says, softer.

He looks at his screen one more time. “Yeah?”

“Text me next time?”

Chapter 13

He’s groggy when he wakes up, confused and off-kiltered. He immediately realizes that he’s not in his room, which throws him off a bit until he recognizes the smell. It smells like cookies and floral shampoo and home. Sighing, he stuffs his face into Marinette’s pillow, content to drift back to sleep. He doesn’t know how he got here but he’s assuming it has to do with an Akuma, and his consciousness means Ladybug defeated it already.

“I’m all for a good cat nap but I’m pretty sure you’re needed at a shoot,” Plagg says.

“Go away,” he counters, snuggling further into his girlfriend’s bed. “Wait, Plagg? What are you doing here?”

“What do you mean what am I doing here? I go everywhere you go.”

“Yeah,” he says, slowly sitting up, “but if you’re here, that means I’m—” Adrien looks down to find his two tan hands, gloveless and bare.

He yelps and scrambles to pull the covers up, as though his whole body were naked.

“Why am I Adrien?”

“Did the Akuma do something else to you? You’re not usually this slow. You’re always Adrien.”

“Yes, no, I’m aware of who I am. But why am I in Marinette’s bed as Adrien? What happened?”

“You got knocked out by a knitting needle,” Plagg says, flat. “Real heroic. And you only had a minute before the transformation would wear off so Ladybug brought you here.”

“Oh,” he says. He can kind of remember what happened before getting hit. It’s a little embarrassing that he was so easily taken out by an old lady with yarn and needle but if that’s the worst thing that happened during the fight then he’ll take it. “Did she, um, see who I am?”

Plagg holds silent, probably to be dramatic, before finally saying, “No idea. I wasn’t paying attention.”

“What do you mean you weren’t paying attention? You were right there!”

“So were you.”

“I was knocked out.”

“And I had cheese. We were both preoccupied.”

Adrien glares at his kwami for a solid 20 seconds before calling on his transformation. He’s needed at a shoot on the other side of the city and does not have time to fret about his identity.

So naturally, that’s all he does the entire shoot.

Right now he feels there’s a solid 50/50 chance Marinette saw his identity. He hasn’t been able to check his phone to see if she tried contacting him but even if there’s nothing there, that’s no indication of whether she knows or not. He needed quite some time to digest her reveal and he’s assuming it’ll take just as long for her, if not even longer.

He knows he was Adrien when he woke up but she might have dumped him and ran, meaning she wouldn’t have seen. The fact that he was in her room instead of his own definitely supports that theory. In fact, the more he thinks about it, the more it makes sense that she doesn’t know who he is. The only thing keeping him from writing the whole thing off is this nagging feeling in the back of his head.

By the time he’s finished, Adrien has a pounding headache and exactly 0 messages from his girlfriend. Tomorrow, at least, he’ll get his answers.

--

Or not.

He gets to school early; on the off chance Marinette actually makes it to school before the bell, he’s hoping they could talk.

He spends the next twenty minutes coming up with different conversation starters and reasons why he’s standing in front of her locker but he doesn’t come up with anything good. If she knows about him, he doesn’t need to do much but if she doesn’t then he needs a better excuse than, “you have a pretty cool locker.”

It winds up being all for moot when the warning bell rings with no sign of Mari. Disappointed, he reluctantly makes his way to class. Only to see Marinette sitting at her desk already. The moment their eyes meet, Marinette blushes and starts whispering to Alya.

That’s...certainly a reaction. But he can’t really say whether it’s because she knows or not because Marinette always acts weird around him.

He slips into his seat, once again too aware of her presence behind him. He doesn’t have a chance to talk to her before class starts so he’s left wondering.

Wondering whether she knows. If she purposefully avoided her locker so he wouldn’t be able to catch her before school—because obviously Marinette would be able to predict his moves if she knows who he is.

He wonders whether her reaction to seeing him was due to knowing he’s Chat Noir. Things with Marinette haven’t been easy since she rejected him but she hasn’t straight up avoided him like that in years.

Mostly, he wonders if he’s just overreacting.

“Adrien.”

Adrien startles in his seat and looks up to see the teacher staring down at him expectantly.

“Um, can you repeat the question,” he asks timidly. He can hear the giggles and whispers behind him as he gets reprimanded for not paying attention; Adrien Agreste always knows the answer and is always prepared.

After class isn’t any better. Alya grabs onto him before he can leave the room. “We were talking about eating lunch at the park today,” she says. “You in?”

Adrien glances at Marinette—who is staring at her shoes—before nodding to Alya. “Absolutely. I’ll meet you guys there.”

Even if he can’t speak to her one-on-one, he’ll have a better idea after spending some time with her.

He doesn’t have any other morning classes with her so he’s stuck with only his thoughts to entertain himself until lunch. Adrien takes longer at his locker than necessary, trying to psyche himself up for what will undoubtedly be an uneventful lunch but just the thought of having to see her again makes him anxious. Eventually deciding he’s just being dumb, Adrien takes a steadying breath and heads over.

Marinette, Nino, and Alya are all there by the time he makes it to the park. Adrien plops himself next to Nino.

“Hey! We didn’t think you were gonna make it,” Nino says, clapping Adrien on the back.

“Sorry, I got held up. What’d I miss?”

“Nino and I were actually talking about helping Rose with her… thing,” Alya interjects, nudging Marinette. “So, yeah. We were just waiting for you so Marinette wouldn’t be alone but now you’re here to keep her company.”

“Alya,” Marinette warns. But Alya is a woman on a mission. She rises, stares at Nino before he gets up as well and they make their way back to the school.

Clearly Marinette still hasn’t told her about their kiss or her secret relationship.

Adrien clears his throat and tries to come up with something to say. Even though there isn’t anyone at their table, there are still a lot of people milling about. They’re not private enough to properly talk.

“You have hair,” Marinette finally says.

Adrien looks up to see her beautiful, blushing face and feels his own face heating up. “Uh, yeah,” he says, scratching the back of his neck. What did that mean? Why does she have to be so awkward?

“It-it’s nice?”

“My hair?”

“Yeah. It’s good hair.”

“Thanks. You too. Have good hair.” He cringes. She’s somehow managed to infect him with improper grammar and stilted conversation.

“Thank you.”

They fall back into silence and Adrien wants to pull his ‘good’ hair out. He still, somehow, has no idea if she knows and it’s driving him crazy. He almost wants to reveal himself then and there just to figure it out. Not for the first time, Adrien finds himself praying for an akuma so he can properly talk to Ladybug.

Instead, he quietly mentions the time and the two trek back to the school without another word.

--

Marinette bumps into him at the end of the day.

“Oh! Adrien, I was looking for you.”

His heart picks up. There’s too many people around for this to be a confession but he can’t help but dream a bit. Why else would she be looking for him, after all?

“What’s up?”

“I—I didn’t understand the physics today. Would you be able to help me out?”

His face falls for a second before he plasters a polite smile back on. “Sure. I have fencing in about an hour so I was going to wait in the library. Would you like to join me?”

“I—I mean, I can but I was th-thinking we could go back to my house? We can have snacks and hang out in my room?”

“I don’t really have a lot of time. It’d be easier to do it here. I can always come over another day though.”

“No, it’s fine,” she pouts. “Let’s just go to the library.”

It’s not until they’re 30 minutes into physics review and Marinette gets yet another question correct that Adrien realizes he might be a bit daft. He could be looking for clues that aren’t there but Marinette doesn’t actually seem to be confused about today’s lesson. She might have only asked to get him alone. And he had to ruin it by taking her to a library filled with other students.

Adrien slams his head against the table and lets out a low moan.

“Are-are you okay?”

“I’m so dumb,” he whines.

He feels a slender hand grab his and he looks up to see Marinette smiling softly at him. He unconsciously leans closer.

“You’re one of the smartest people I know,” she says.

“I don’t really feel that way,” he says, slouching back onto the table.

“You are a tad dense,” she admits.

Adrien huffs out a laugh before sitting up straight. “Are we talking about the same thing?”

“I’m not sure? What are you talking about?”

Adrien stares at her for longer than is polite, hoping that her face will reveal what he is dying to know. “I’m sorry I made you come to the library,” he finally says. “I should have gone to your house.”

“It’s alright,” she says, patting his shoulder, “there’ll be plenty of time for that.”

--

Adrien is sorely tempted to visit Marinette as Chat but he knows she’ll get mad at him, especially if his hunch is wrong and she doesn’t know. He settles for taking taking a long shower to relax his nerves.

When he’s done, he puts on a pair of boxers, using his towel to ring out his hair.

“Aren’t you going to put on pants,” Plagg asks.

“I’m getting to it,” Adrien says. He absentmindedly checks his phone and is disappointed when he sees Marinette hasn’t texted him.

“You should probably get to it sooner.”

Adrien looks up from his phone to glare at his nagging kwami before letting out a very unmanly shriek. Ladybug is at his window.

He slowly makes his way over to her, opening the latch with shaky hands.

“S-sorry,” she says, blushing furiously. “I should have called before coming or something.” She’s looking anywhere but at him and he realizes that he’s still only wearing boxers.

“Oh, I, yeah. I’ll just, um, put clothes on. Hold on.” Adrien all but runs into his closet and grabs the first thing he sees.

He returns to see Ladybug sitting tensely on his couch. He sits as far away from her as possible on the couch and faces forward.

“So… Come here often,” he asks.

“You—” Ladybug lets out a long breath. “You’re the most ridiculous person I’ve ever met.”

Adrien grins and turns to face her. “I can’t seem to help myself when I’m with you.”

“I’m really embarrassed,” Ladybug says.

“Why?” If anything, Adrien should be the embarrassed one. For so many reasons.

“All the things I said about you as Adrien and Chat,” Marinette says. Adrien feels any remaining tension leave him. “And then I rejected you so I could date you, oh my gosh, I can’t even imagine what you must think of me.”

“I think you’re amazing. Honestly, it’s really flattering that you liked me twice.”

“Ugh,” Ladybug says, hiding her face in her hands.

“Are you upset that I’m me?”

“What kind of stupid question is that?” she asks, looking up to glare at him.

“You’ve been acting weird all day and now I’m making you uncomfortable.”

“I said I’m embarrassed not uncomfortable. This is better than I could have ever hoped for.”

Adrien’s heart flips in his chest and he slides closer to her, unable to stop himself. “I could say the same thing.”

Ladybug blushes and closes the distance between them, allowing their shoulders to brush. Adrien pulls his arm out so he can wrap it around her, revelling in the way she automatically leans into him.

“I used to have pictures of you all over my wall,” Ladybug says.

“Wait, what?”

“I told you that I liked Adrien Agreste. What I didn’t tell you was that I was borderline obsessed and took full advantage of the fact that my crush was a model.”

“I never saw them,” he says, his heart pounding for some unknown reason.

“That’s because I took them down whenever I knew Adrien was coming over and permanently took them down so I could invite Chat Noir in.”

“Oh,” is all Adrien can think to say. Then, “so, can I kiss you now, or…?”

Ladybug moans before sliding away from him. “You can’t do that.”

“Do what?”

“With your face.”

“What’s wrong with my face,” he asks, bringing a hand self-consciously to wipe anything offensive off his face.

“Nothing. That’s the problem.”

“Mari,” Adrien whines. He shifts a bit so he can lay comfortably on the couch with his head in her lap. She might have rejected his kiss but he’s still sure they’re good. Her hands absentmindedly running through his hair is enough of a confirmation of this. “Stop confusing me.”

“I’m not used to Adrien saying things like that. And knowing you’re Chat makes it so much worse. But I’m also still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I’ve been dating Adrien Agreste this entire time? And, like, I want to kiss you but every time I let my thoughts wander too far I start to feel guilty. Like I’m cheating on Chat or something which is ridiculous because you’re Chat.”

“It took me a while to really let it sink in, too. We can slow things down until you’re ready.”

“You’re sweet but I used to have fantasies of making out with you in your room while I’m transformed and I really want to do that.”

Adrien abruptly sits up. “Oh my gosh, yes please. I’ve wanted that since I met you. Yes. Let’s do that now.”

Ladybug laughs before grabbing his shirt and pulling him into her. A chill runs down his spine when she wraps her gloved hands around his neck, sinking even further into each other. Fourteen year-old Adrien probably would have had an aneurysm by now. Present Adrien, though, can’t help but yearn for more skin-to-skin contact.

“M’lady,” Adrien asks, his mouth still feathering her lips, “would you be able to—”

She doesn’t even let him finish his question before she releases her transformation, leaving just Marinette and Adrien to stare at each other. Her bare hands slip under his shirt and she lets them travel up and down his back.

“I love you, Marinette Ladybug Dupain-Cheng,” Adrien whispers before tucking himself into her neck and gently pressing a kiss beneath her ear.

“You’re such a dork,” Marinette giggles. Her hands stop on his lower back and she nuzzles even closer to him. “I love you, too, Adrien Chat Noir Agreste.”

“Alright, I think I’ve kept quiet long enough,” Plagg says, flying over to them. “Can I have my cheese now?”

“Plagg! Really?”

He can hear Marinette’s laughter while he fetches the cheese from his mini-fridge and his heart lifts. There’s no more secrets between them—no more masks—and when he turns back around to the smiling faces of Tikki, Plagg, and Marinette, he feels himself grin back, finally home.

Bias Tag

Tagged by @zerotexas1975 Thanks babe! 💝💖

who is your bias: From which group, I have like 20 lol Y’all know I’m double biased so we’ll do Taegi (V and Suga)

what made you notice them: For Suga, I was watching one of their old shows, I think Rookie King, and I remember always laughing at his sarcastic/savage comments. Plus his reaction to the crying girl in the elevator was priceless. First reaction: immediately engages in a button pressing competition with her. I had also been seeing lots of gifs of him and I just found myself falling for him. 

As for Tae, I had no choice but to acknowledge him when the Blood, Sweat, and Tears mv was released. He made sure that I saw him in all his sexy glory! That lip bite, that smirk…good stuff

what’s your favorite thing about them: I’ll start with Tae. I guess his carefree, confident nature, boy who has the ability to see beauty in everything, his passion for all the things he enjoys. The fact that he calls pimples his friends is just incredible, he has his own unique style and will wear whatever he wants so long as it makes him happy, and now he’s designing his own clothes. Boy loves abstract and unique art, he’s always taking pictures, trying/experiencing new things with such positivity. Also he is a true OT7 stan, there is no BTS without all seven members and he’s constantly saying to love and support them all! 

Now Yoongi, I can’t not say anything about his passion for music. He is such a hard worker who is always writing, composing, into the late hours of the night and I admire his work ethic. He’s also come so far in that he’s opened up and shared so many personal things about himself (Hello, AGUST D mixtape) and showing that vulnerability is not easy which makes him a truly inspiring person. He also loves Bangtan with all his soul which yes, you could say that about all the members, but even if we don't always see it you know he’s constantly looking out for them whether it’s by fixing things around the house, buying snacks for them, or watching the boys introduce themselves/give their speeches. 

who would initiate skinship more: I think we all know this one, but it’d be Tae. This boy ain’t afraid to wrap his arms around you or cuddle you at any given moment. Of course, Yoongi does like to hold hands so he’d probably do it in the privacy of home. 

who would hog blankets more: I’m not sure actually. I feel like Tae would, but Yoongi’s also a possibility. I would hog the blankets in the beginning but then I tend to get hot in the middle of the night. 

who would be more clingy: Taehyung of course. Again, he’s such a cuddle bug. Although there are some days where I’m just really clingy for no reason. 

who would say “i love you” first: Probably me. Once I’m super close with someone I typically start saying it quite often. 

who would be more easily flustered: More than likely me and Suga. I may be clingy at times, but if someone reciprocates it or does something snuggly out of nowhere it throws me off >.< Not that I don’t approve, in fact I am very appreciative of skinship. Also have you seen Suga when people compliment him? Such a shy cutie~

what cuddling position would you have: I would love to be Tae’s pillow! I gladly and willingly volunteer as tribute~ Seriously, we could face each other or spoon, he could snuggle into my chest or vice versa I don’t care just let me cuddle! 

With Yoongi, I just wanna wrap my arms and legs around him honestly. I’d probably engulf him, especially since he sleeps all curled up nice and soft uwu Also if I could like hold his hand/arm something like that, that would be great~

which colors remind you of them and why: For Tae, purple obviously! 💜 Some reason I think of red ❤️ for Suga because he has such a warm and soothing personality. Plus I think it also has something to do with a certain red outfit *cough* Seesaw performance *cough*

which season would you like to spend with them: Spring/summer for Tae because he’d probably want to go out and explore a lot so I need it to be warm, sunny weather to navigate. Fall/winter with Suga because we’d be cuddling and be nice and warm and toasty with coffee and blankets.

who would bake the cookies and who would steal the batter: I would attempt to bake cookies (we’ll see how they actually turn out) but I feel like all of us have the potential to taste test the batter. Or I’ll just buy the pre-made cookie dough and stick ‘em in the oven.

which one of you would make bad puns and how would the other react: I would be making the bad puns (of course) and Tae would probably laugh while Yoongi would either roll his eyes with such an offended look on his face or he might actually enjoy it. He’s been making a few puns here and there (I think Jin’s been rubbing off on him lol)

who would want to adopt 50 dogs and cats: Tae would but I’d been the one to set the limit because goodness gracious we are not taking care of 100 animals.

which one of you would nearly burn down the kitchen trying to microwave a pop tart and who would come to the rescue: Wait, who microwaves pop tarts? This would not happen in my house…unless someone did it while I wasn’t there. Soooo….Tae would be the one to nearly burn down the kitchen and Yoongi and I would have to save him

who likes to lean over tall railings and who pulls them back: Me~ I’d be peering over the edge and both of them would be hanging onto me because I’m dangerous like that

what would watching a horror film with them be like: None of us would enjoy it. We’d all be curled together, Taegi would be freaking out while I would *attempt* to play it off by looking up the movie on Wikipedia to see the plot summary

who would be the cheesy flirt and who would be the smooth flirt: BOTH of them are smooth, I can tell you that! I’m a mixture of cheesy and smooth it honestly just depends on the day

who is more competitive: ��me (just a little bit eheh)

who would have to be given constant reminders (reminders to eat, don’t forget your keys, etc): Yoongi~ This boy works so hard he will forget what time it is because he’d be so focused. Therefore Tae and I would have to make sure he’s eating and we’ll bring him his daily dose of coffee

who sends memes and who sends cute “I miss you” texts at 3am: Tae would send the memes and you know Yoongi would be texting “I miss you/I love you” texts at 3am

Now I’ll tag: @btsinned @jhopespanda @bts-love-sweat-tears @seokkbuns @k-popastrology @perpetually-jungshook @kittae @btsreactsarchive (I know you’ve already been tagged but here ya go)

Dimension Wave   Chapter 1—Gutting Knife and Shoddy Rod

Lurolona, the First City

“Huh…?”

I lost consciousness for only a few seconds. Well, if you think of in real life–time, I was out for maybe only a few nanoseconds. If you believe what the developers say, then from this instant on, time is passing by at two different rates—one in this world and the other in real life. And as explained earlier, I’ll be living in this world until the game is completed.

I look around to find an ultra-realistic setting. A Western-style castle peeks out in the distance and white paving stones line the streets. Call it realism or whatever, but if you look closely, the stones even have grime on them, like they’ve actually been trodden on. Around me are other players that have just logged on and reacting the same way. Some are even talking about it; their voices becoming the bustle of a thriving town.

I’ve played other VRMMOs before, but never have I experienced anything on this level. That’s probably one of the reasons why we’re directly connected to the servers, though I haven’t really thought about that until now.

“Alrighty then, enough with being moved to tears, let’s—huh?”

That’s weird. Why is my voice so high? Your voice is among the many things you can freely fine tune in the character creator. I’m sure I made my guy sound cool and stern. Even if I didn’t, I shouldn’t sound like a little girl. Did I mess up the settings or something? … I’ve got a bad feeling about this. I tilt my head down to look at my body.

“I’m definitely a girl. Thanks a lot,” I subconsciously mutter out.

I’ve got long black hair, a petite body, small hands and feet, and a chest that can be described as “lacking”. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s novice equipment, but I’m wearing a simple white dress. It’s a little breezy down there, as if I’m wearing a skirt again.

—Kizuna†Exceed, you have received a new private chat request. Accept?

I hear the voice directly speaking to me from inside my head. Though I don’t know who Tsugumi†Exceed, the sender, is. But judging from how awfully similar their name is to mine, I bet it’s the one who set me up. From just having the thought of accepting the chat request in my head, the game goes ding and I hear the girls’ voices.

“Hey, Big Bro!” “’sup!”

Both of their voices ring out. Are they using their real voices? It doesn’t sound like they’ve changed it.

“Big Bro? Wait a minute! Your character and your name too! Why’s everything totally different?! Oh, Big Sis is gonna regret it big time!”

Our older sister’s name is Kanata†Exceed. Whose bright idea was this anyway? All our names are structured the same way—Japanese first name, a symbol, and a random English word? This is some late-stage terminal eighth-grader syndrome shit.

“All your older sister ever wanted was another little sister…” “I’ve always wanted a little sister too!” “Ugh…”

I reflexively let out a groan, making my character groan out loud too. Now that I think about it, she never did ask me what I was gonna look like. She must’ve edited my character yesterday.

“And, y’know?” “Hmm?” “Since we’ll be in this world for months or even years, I wanted us to all get along…” “Kanata…”

Seems like she’s got reasons of her own. Wait, I can’t just say whatever and look the other way. She totally accessed my data without permission and changed me into a girl. That means until the game ends, I’m a GIRL—Guy in Real Life! … that’s just great.

“And, y’know…” “What?” “’Two sisters and a brother’ is kind of a mouthful, don’t you think?” “…���

What, was that a joke? Anyone else would be steaming mad by now.

“Ugh, okay, I get it. Whatever. I’ll live my second life as the other sex.”

It’s not like it’s the first time I’m getting screwed over by my sisters. Such is life for being the only brother. I’ll hold my tongue. If I get mad, I’ll just spoil the fun for everybody.

“What are your plans, Big Bro?” “Mm, I was thinking of leveling up my fishing skill, so I think I’ll try it out.” “Starting off with a minigame, huh, Big Bro Kizuna?” “Big Bro Kizuna…”

… being called that just does not sit well with me. It doesn’t seem like I have much of a choice though.

“I was just gonna go hunt. How ‘bout you, Sis?” “I haven’t decided on my equipment yet, so maybe I’ll go take a look in the shops.” “So, we’ll split up then?” “It looks like it. I’ll phone you guys later—err, rather, I’ll send you a chat later.” “See ya.”

—Private chat ended. Returning to regular chat.

Alright, let’s go fishing like I planned from the beginning. If I remember correctly, it’s a skill I have to learn. By focusing my thoughts, I open up the menu screen and click the “Status, Skills, and Item” screen.

Name/ Kizuna†Exceed Race/ Spirit Energy/ 1,000 Mana/ 50 Serin/ 500

Skills/ Energy Production I, Mana Production I

Items/ Novice Weapon Chest, Novice Energy Potion ×10, Instruction Manual for Spirits

I select Instruction Manual for Spirits from my inventory. As soon as I do that, a book about the size of a paperback novel appears in my hands. I flip through the pages and see it written in some foreign language. But for some reason, I can understand it. I think it’s the Spirit language.

“Let’s see…”

—Unlike other races, Spirits do not have levels, HP, MP, STR, AGI, INT, MIND, DEX, or LUK. Instead, the stat “Energy” replaces them all. The more Energy, the stronger the character. While—with enough Energy—Spirits can withstand any attack from enemies, be careful that any damage to HP or consumption of MP will result in a corresponding usage of Energy.

I see. That’s pretty unique. In short, if I have a lot of Energy, I have a lot of attack, defense, HP, and MP. On the other hand, I’ll be super weak if I don’t have enough. I don’t totally understand it, but let’s see what’s next.

—Like with other races, acquiring or upgrading skills costs Mana. Using them costs Spirit. These are the two things consumed by Spirits.

—Performing actions will unlock skills, the same as other races. For Spirits, acquire skills by spending Mana once they are unlocked. Acquired skills may have a passive drain on Energy. As such, players can choose to level down skills, refunding 50% of the Mana spent on acquisition. Furthermore, skills will be leveled down at random when Energy goes below +1.

It seems like it’s important for Spirit players to manage their Energy. Well, I’m sure I’ll learn along the way. I slam the manual shut and put it back in my inventory. Next, I selected Novice Weapon Chest. Lots of different weapons are in the box. They’re all pretty normal-looking and they all have Novice in the name.

I grab a one-handed sword. You can’t go wrong with one of these. As soon as I make contact, a simple explanation of the sword pops up. But I threw the sword back in the box without reading the text. Even though there are descriptions of them all on the game’s official site, both Kanata and I reserved our judgement to see how they’re like in person.

“Oh?”

I caught a glimpse of an interesting-looking weapon and take it out of the chest.

Weapon/ Novice Gutting Knife Description/ A knife made for field dressing game.

—Detailed description: A weapon made for breaking down game and plants. Causes monsters to drop items upon their death.

That’s a brief explanation. If I choose the one-handed sword, I can equip a shield at the same time too. But this one’s more interesting. It even has a bonus effect. I choose the gutting knife.

So, do I just grab it with my hand to equip it? I’m not too sure. My status screen lists out stuff like my Energy and Mana, but there’s no equipment section. Well, that’s how you’d usually do it in VR games anyway.

Anyway, I must have a rod to fish. I wonder where they sell fishing rods. It’d be appropriate to sell them in a general store or something. I open up the menu and select the map. Lurolona… that’s the town I’m in right now. There’s a place with a bag symbol showing on the map, so I’ll head over there. It’s closer than I thought. I mean, I had my head down reading the Spirit guide. Luckily, though, I’m standing right before the shop.

It’s a grey rectangular building. A sign with the symbol of a bag juts out from the wall. All of a sudden, a lot of people appeared—Humans, Lycanthropes with their dog ears and tails, pointy-eared Elves, and Jewels with blue gemstones embedded in their chest.

… I’m the only Spirit in here. That’s just a coincidence, eh?

Inside the general store was a bunch of different stuff. They’ve got restorative potions, seeds, scrap paper, copper, hammers, pots, pans, mortars, pestles, hoes, pickaxes, shovels… and fishing rods. Oh, goodie. But this is just a wooden stick with a bit of string attached to the end. It’s a shoddy rod that look like it’s ripped straight out of a comic book. But how am I going to fish without it? Let’s see how much it is.

—600 serin.

Oh, so that’s what serin is. But I’m missing 100 of those. Is there anything I can sell? I have my brand-new gutting knife, Novice Energy Potions, and the clothes on my back. It feels like I’ve got underwear too. I could always buy more clothes later… Seems like Novice Energy Potions sell for 20 serin each.

“I’d like to sell these.” ‘I can give you 20 serin for each Novice Energy Potion.’

I’ve heard the shopkeeper’s voice before. From an anime, maybe? His voice actor has definitely voiced a bunch of different characters before. Hmm, whatever. Gotta deal with the matter at hand first.

‘That will be 100 serin for five Novice Energy Potions.’

I hear a ka-ching as my wallet ticks up to 600 serin. I go grab the fishing rod and come back.

‘That will be 600 serin for the Shoddy Rod.’

Hey… You can’t call your own products “shoddy”… One of the Humans browsing through the shop lets out a chortle. If this is what shops are like in this alternate universe, then I’m never shopping again. Dang NPCs making fun of me. I stop myself from lashing out at the storekeeper and then grabbed my Shoddy Rod.

Egon/Janine. 50 sentence prompts (by harmony283 in livejournal)

((I made these back in February during my breaks from studying and to cure the extreme block stress was causing me at the time. For any universe you like, unless stated otherwise))

1. Blame // Egon doesn’t mean to hurt her, but he’s done it time and again and he never quite allows himself to forget it.

2. Proof // “Make as many charts as you want, Egon, but they don’t prove a thing when you look at her like that” Ray mutters, somewhat amused.

3. Assistance // Janine’s never more aware of how short she is and how tall Egon is than when he has to reach her a cup from the top shelf.

4. Going // Sometimes he watches her walk away and allows himself to wonder if this is the one time she's gone for good.

5. Birthday // When Ghostbusters Inc. turns ten, it dawns on her that she’s been loving him that long and that loving him still isn’t quite as much an effort as one would think.

6. Scientist // If science is based on observation, how come he is so blind?

7. Silent // Just because he’s never said the three magic words out loud doesn’t make what he feels any less real.

8. Behalf (IDW) // “You know your father loves you, don’t you, Howie?” Janine asks their son because Egon can’t.

9. Rumor // Someone mentions how tall men are supposed to be long all over and her face colors as she smiles reminiscently.

10. Tip // Winston gives him advice when he can because God help Janine if Egon went asking Peter for advice of all people.

11. Idle // “In my defense, it was a slow day” she mutters when he finds an entire page worth of doodles of him and the guys.

12. Brother (IDW) // Janine knows Winston, Ray and Peter are picking on Roger out of brotherly concern for her, but that doesn’t stop her from wanting to rip their heads off for it.

13. Beneath // She rocks her hips and sighs and he drinks in on the sight from beneath, fingers twitching with want over her thighs.

14. Redecorate // “All I’m saying is we probably could do without the fungi sample shelf over the dishwasher” she drops dryly.

15. Gravitation // Despite his scientific mind set, he does believe in love and how powerful and irresistible a pull it can be.

16. Quilt (Good ending AU) // Egon looks down at Jillian’s sleeping form, removes the safety googles from around her forehead and gently tugs the quilt until the edge reaches her chin.

17. Afterthought (RGB) // “I love you- Peter, Winston, Ray, all of us! We love you!” in her heart of hearts, she smiles bitterly at the addition.

18. Unearth // Every time her feelings for him come back in full force, it feels a bit like a zombie and the frustration -why won’t you just die??!- that comes with one.

19. Shield (EG) // Eduardo makes an off-handed comment that Janine would take a bullet for Egon and regrets it when Egon glances at him in mortification- because he doesn’t doubt it.

20. Blacklist // Despite his obvious advantage on the matter, Egon never insults anyone’s intelligence...until they start dating Janine, that is.

21. Misquoted // “I never said I would never try and pursue a relationship with her, I just said it’d be...gawkish if I did”

22. Copying // She can always tell when he was falling asleep over his notes because she has to transcribe the text into legible characters afterwards.

23. Argue // He never does retort when she snaps at him and she can’t help but take that as yet another sign of disinterest.

24. Lens // They’re foggy and useless by now and she moans into his mouth, don’t stop, and they’re off within the second.

25. Bell // She manages to reach for the alarm button to warn him before the entity attacks her and the world fades into the dark and the ringing.

26. Arrested // “Go home” he calls over the ruckus, cops dragging him and the others away from her on Peck’s wake “Go home. Stay safe”

27. Havoc (EG) // Something breaks on the lab floor and she takes a minute to lower her cup and sigh in resignation.

28. Tool // Janine’s gotten so good with the wrench that Ray practically swoons and Egon has to physically contain himself from doing the same.

29. Blanket // He should take some offense in the fact that she’s using his lab robe as a blanket but it’s hard to.

30. Fancy (IDW) // She looks great in that purple gown and she knows it...and judging by the amount of glances Egon’s thrown her in the last hour, so does he.

31. Dash // They’re running for it, the collapsing firehouse and ruptured containment unit roaring at their backs and their hands holding to each other.

32. Away // Distance does nothing to ease the way he finds himself keeping her within his mind at all hours, and it honestly makes him more curious than alarmed.

33. Syndication // It takes the three of them and Janine to get Egon to go to sleep before deprivation kills him, but they somehow manage to.

34. Champagne (RGB) // She reasons that seeing them all back from stopping the end of the world yet again, alive and well, is good enough a reason to celebrate for her as she breaks out the champagne from Peter’s hidden stash.

35. Note // If it weren’t by the multitudes and multitudes of post-its she leaves around, reminding him to drink water, he would probably be dead by dehydration by now.

36. Physical // She’s singing along to an Olivia Newton-John song playing on the radio while she files and Peter elbows Egon with a grin.

37. Dull (RGB) // He doesn’t enjoy the films she watches any more than she enjoys the lectures he watches, but it’s bearable when they’re together.

38. Frozen (IDW) // Time really is relative, he reasons- it went faster for them in the pocket dimension and now it’s screeching to a halt with Janine’s lips on his own.

39. Stumbled // He stumbled upon his feelings for her like upon an open sewer- kicking, cursing and head-first.

40. Hurt // At some point she realizes the hurt is still there, she’s just pretty much used to it now.

41. Gibberish (IDW) // “Am I missing something?” Egon asks and Howard sputters something that sounds like ‘Bruhpptfbuh’, grinning toothlessly from his play pen “I can’t support that thesis, son”

42. Camp (RGB) // The cold gets so bad that they all have to hurdle together in one tent and Egon finds he doesn’t mind her being pressed to him as much as he used to.

43. Weak // Janine wished she were strong enough to keep herself form falling all over again but damned her if she knew how.

44. Bargain // “Alright, Spengz, how much will you give me to keep the, ahem, slime tub anecdote from reaching Janine’s ears?” Peter smirks.

45. Alcohol // Drunk Egon forgets that curtains are flammable and- is it bad that she finds it kind of hot?

46. Wind (RGB) // It howls over the ceiling of the firehouse and Peter suggests they tell ghost stories, if only to give her an excuse to cuddle close to Egon on the sofa.

47. Temptation // There’s only so much she can do to stop herself from touching his hair -how does it do that?

48. Eighteen (Good Ending AU) // By the time Jillian turns eighteen, she’s already modifying packs and building gizmos herself and they couldn’t be prouder.

49. Battle (IDW) // Egon briefly forces himself to ponder whether he’s really willing to fight a horde of dead vikings to get her back and isn’t really surprised to realize he is, without question.

50. Rhythm // She feels his heartbeat begin to race under her hand and presses another kiss against his jaw, smiling.

19. met someone who changed you: I think everyone you meet changes you, but yeah I can think of a good few.

20. found out who your friends are: I love how this assumes we all constantly get ourselves embroiled in toxic relationships we have to discover aren’t true. Like, I am way too cautious in initiating relationships for that. It may happen, but not yet. I’ve got good friends and I love them.

21. kissed someone on your facebook friends list: Ew. No.

— general

22. how many of your facebook friends do you know irl: Most all of them, but most of them not very well.

23. do you have any pets: I MISS MY PUPPER AND MY KITTEHS. Technically I have a godchild cat...or niece cat...something like that. She’s a percentage mine. XD

24. do you want to change your name: Nah.

25. what did you do for your last birthday: I spent time with family, spread out over a couple days and tbh I kinda don’t remember a whole lot. I think I watched a movie, my fam made me dinner and there were sweet cards and gifts. ^_^

27. what were you doing at midnight last night: Watching !Hero: the Rock Opera, and also getting distracted not watching !Hero.

28. what is something you can’t wait for: This askjdlgs episode of Supergirl - alternatively, “Jeremy Jordan returning to Broadway.” Also, getting to see The Lion King in about a month. !!!

30. what are you listening to right now: Traffic outside my apartment. Birds in the courtyard. Occasionally my neighbor moving around upstairs.

31. have you ever talked to a person named tom: Yup. A couple Thomases, and I worked with a Tom previously, and work with a much nicer Tom now.

32. something that’s getting on your nerves: Supergirl’s deeply flawed existence is a constant mood, and I’m having frustrations with a relationship that I don’t know how to solve. :/

37. what do you like about yourself: I always seem to answer these the same way, but whatever? I like my (semi dormant?? ha) creativity, and that I’m usually a pretty patient, forgiving person. That might sound weird, or bragging, but it’s not something that comes without practice, so I think it’s okay for me to like/be proud of that.

38. want any piercings: I’ve been saying I should get my ears pierced for like ten years now.

39. blood type: I honestly have no idea, why don’t they give you this information when you get a copy of your birth certificate, or have a check-up? Seems kinda important. XD

44. fave tv show: Fringe or White Collar or Psych maybe.

45. tattoos: I don’t have any, but if I ever got one, it’d be Needtobreathe lyrics.

47. ever had surgery: I split my head open once. That explains a lot. ;)

48. piercings: Noooone

49. sport: BASEBALL

50. vacation: NYC (literally just to see shows) or the mountains somewhere or Europe, particularly Edinburgh and London. And anywhere honestly on the East coast of this country, because it’s so rich in history.

51. trainers: Shoes, right? Or people who have trained me?? I’m confused. I buy from Payless. I like Converse but who can afford them. XD I’d rather wear something sensible but stylish anyway, and the one shoe I actually care about is Oxfords. I want me a pair of Oxfords.

— more general

53. drinking: Water, tea, orange juice, Pepsi.

57. get married: Maybe someday. I’m not seeking it out right now. :)

58. career: I’ve just started my first job in a theater, and though it’s not with the production process itself, I am loving it, and hoping to move backstage sometime soon. I want to have a career in theater, probably as a writer or at least writing scripts/novels on the side.

He taught me how to play guitar, and he was pretty fantastic as a role model too.

Answering 50 quarantine asks

Asked by @whatqueen-wildcats via my other blog because I reblogged to the wrong one again lolol

1. Are you enjoying yourself? Yeah, things are going alright. 

2. Do you miss how life used to be? Things aren’t too different for me. I’m still working and taking classes, even though work is busier and classes are just online now.

3. What are you doing with your time now that you’re home? Same old stuff, mostly homework. Any free time is spent playing animal crossing though lol

4. What drinks do you have in the fridge right now? Ooh boy I’ll have to think about this one. Water, tea, orange juice, grape juice, coke zero, and pepsi. More than usual because of essential shopping. Usually it’s just tea and water.

5. What snacks do you have in your house right now? Honestly, a bag of chips for my mom and that’s it. I’m trying to snack less lately, and the only way that seems to work is if I have no snacks nearby lol.

6. When was the last time you stepped outside, and what for? I went outside to put my dog up a couple of hours ago.

7. What’s a book you hope to read while quarantined? I want to finish rereading a book I had when I was 15 or somewhere around that. It’s call Sword of the Land, and it’s awesome.

8. What’s a goal you hope to achieve while being quarantined? I want to be more productive in general, finish the semester strong, and not get sick.

9. How long do you think you can last like this? I could live like this for a very long time. I’m a huge homebody so this isn’t bothering me much at all.

10. What is the last thing you’ve read? I read an article about animal crossing this afternoon...

11. What show are you catching up on? None right now. I’m mostly listening to podcasts or watching random youtube videos.

12. Are you a “stay in pajamas all day kind"of person? Yes, definitely. Even most of my normal clothes could count as pajamas anyway.

13. What time did you go to sleep last night? Like...1ish. I wasn’t feeling well so it took me a while to fall asleep.

14. What time did you wake up today? Oh dude, I think it was 11. Like I said, wasn’t feeling well.

15. Are you staying active? I’m definitely not less active. Work has been more exhausting for sure. But I haven’t been exercising at all.

16. Are you staying hydrated? Never hydrated enough. I need to be better about that.

17. How long do you think this quarantine will last? At least another month. Probably 2 because no one here in Florida is staying home at all. :/

18. If you had to study one subject everyday for the rest of this quarantine, what would you study? See, I don’t like this question. I should say Spanish, because I’m taking it now and have to take part 2 in the Summer, but it’d probably be folklore or something related to that.

19. How much weight do you suppose you’ll put on by the time this quarantine is over? I’ll probably stay the same weight or lose weight by the end of this, because since I’m not going to school I won’t feel the need to eat fast food as much. It wasn’t a ton before, only like, once a week. But still.

20. What’s your favorite board game? For family games I’m pretty partial to the game of life and scrabble.

21. What’s your favorite card game? Rummy. A family favorite.

23. What’s your favorite tv show? My default answer is Parks and Rec, but I haven’t watched tv shows regularly in a while.

24. What’s your favorite snack? All I can think about right now is a fruit, veggie, and cheese tray.

26. What’s your favorite beverage? I want to say water, but I have fallen back into my deeeeeep love for pepsi.

27. What do you like most about the quarantine? Not having to drive an hour and a half(3 hours round trip) to get to school. I’m saving so much in gas money right now.

28. What are you finding most challenging about the quarantine? Remembering what day it is. It’s been a nightmare. Also my sleep schedule is wrecked.

29. Do you think COVID-19 is as bad as the media says it is? Yeah, man. This thing isn’t okay. I really hope it wakes people up to the desperate need for vaccines.

30. What precautions have you taken to stay safe from COVID-19? I stay at home unless absolutely necessary, and at work we have an alert to wash our hands and “touch points” every hour. But the customers are mostly jerks and haf leaned on and coughed on most of us on the reg.

31. What have you learned so far from this experience? People are being really selfish for the most part, and that most people don’t keep a fully stocked freezer.

32. Are you introverted, omniverted, or extroverted? I used to think I was a stone cold introvert, but I realized that was mostly the way I was raised and my introverted parents keeping me from socializing because they didn’t want to. Omnivert for sure.

33. Which room in your house do you spend the most time in? My bedroom. I actually just moved into my mom’s old office space, so it doesn’t fully feel like my room yet. I lived in my last room for 12 years, so it’s going to take a bit.

34. Who are you most worried about? The older members of my family. Also my fiance and brother in law. They both have asthma and are essential workers.

35. Who was the last person you texted, called, facetimed? Texted, a friend in a group chat about animal crossing, called my fiance, facetimed my friend Taylor.

36. What three emojis best describe your attitude towards what’s going on right now? 👏🧼💦

37. If you had to live in one item of clothing for the rest of this quarantine what would it be? My princess mononoke sweatpants. Those babies are comfy af.

38. What was the last meal you cooked and how did it taste? I wouldn’t call it a meal, but I made one of those knorr pasta sides for my dinner last night lol. It was delicious.

39. What’s your favorite restaurant? Is it closed? Bamboo sushi. I have been craving it for weeks, even before the quarantine. I desperately need a friend to go on sushi dates with. If you have my number, call me. I am dead serious.

40. What is your favorite store? Is it closed? Probably Earthbound. I like smelling the incense. I’m sure it is closed, doesn’t seem essential.

41. How many things have you purchased online since being in quarantine? I just realized I haven’t ordered anything. I’ve been meaning to buy a new mouse, but I haven’t decided on one yet.

42. What was the last thing you purchased online? Probably my makeup mirror.

43. What’s getting you through these tough times? ...animal crossing.

44. Are you keeping up with the news? To a degree. I peruse twitter every morning and watch whatever my parents have on for a minute or two. Sadly it’s usually some conservative Trump support thing, so I either have to stomach it and keep my mouth shut or just leave. I usually go with leaving.

45. Are you stressed? In general, yeah. But I’ve felt oddly peaceful during this time. I read somewhere on here that’s because people are finally reacting to the way I feel all the time. I don’t know if that’s true, but it makes sense. 

46. Tell me something positive. My sister is getting a new house in a few weeks. I’m insanely excited for her. And we’re going to be neighbors!

47. Give me some advice. I don’t feel like the kind of person who should be giving advice, just know I’m proud of you. Just in general. :)

48. What’s your favorite quote? Excuse me as I open my Pinterest quote board for this... “The way you speak to yourself matters.” No credit, but it’s something I’m learning a lot about lately.

49. What’s your favorite book? The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly. I wonder if it will ever change.

50. Tell me an interesting fact. The roars used in the animated Lion King were actually from tigers, because lion roars weren’t loud enough.

Thanks for asking! This was fun.
