So give me all your pain

And love will set you free

Give me all your shame

Put all your weight on me

Alt title: Arden is actually really sweet for the first and last time in his life

POV: Arden

WC: 752

(Credit to Izzy @goldenvindication for the first three paragraphs.)

“Why do I love Herbology?” Roscoe blushed. He didn’t usually talk about it. He’d always thought he wanted to be a cool hero Auror and save the world, but thinking about it now...

“I think I used to try and trick myself into thinking that I needed to have some existential purpose, you know? Like I had to be the next coming of Harry Potter, be the cool jock turned Auror and save the fuckin’ world. I loved Defense Against the Dark Arts, don’t get me wrong, but... it was the class I was supposed to like. I was supposed to be strong and cool and be able to fight off fuckin’ Death Eaters. And I am strong. Maybe not magic wise or smarts wise, but I can fly a fast broom.” This didn’t have anything to do with Herbology. Arden was asking about Herbology.

“I didn’t really like first year Herbology, but once we got to the dangerous shit — the Mandrakes and things, I was completely hooked. They were like little living beings that you could care for, and they had things about them you had to know, but they weren’t people. They wouldn’t talk about you to their friends or break your heart on purpose. They’re just plants. I like the simplicity, which I think is why you don’t like it.” Roscoe laughed. “You like stuff that makes you think, but with Herbology, the whole thing is just not thinking and tuning in to what the plant wants.”

Arden was looking up at his boyfriend, head on his shoulder. As he talked, Arden shifted back, getting a better look at his face. He loved watching Roscoe talk. His whole life, he’d hated talking. People talking to him was either demeaning, or too fast, and even if it was mostly fine, it was still effort. Finally, he’d gotten his cochlear when he was 10, and he hated it. It took work to hear, something people took for granted. And while Arden wouldn’t trade it for anything, he still hated talking.

Except with Roscoe, he could listen to Roscoe for hours. He loved hearing his voice -- the irony didn’t escape him that one of the only people in his life who had learned to sign for him didn’t need to, because Arden would always wear his tremoweed to hear Roscoe’s voice.

He hated talking, too, but he loved talking to his boyfriend. He loved talking about Arithmancy, loved actually just chatting. That wasn’t the case with anyone else; maybe Griffin, when they were friends -- Arden blinked away the thought and realized he’d been so enamored with Roscoe speaking that he’d forgotten to fully listen. Listening was still effort.

“What?” Roscoe was smiling at Arden in that adorable, self-conscious way he did when he talked about Herbology, or Quidditch... or Arden.

“Nothing,” Arden said, suddenly pulling away to angle himself to Roscoe. He reached up and, with a grimace, uncoiled the weed from his ear. He had a case for it, but in a pinch, wrapping it around his wrist was fine. It never fell off. Roscoe had a point about plants, not that Arden would ever admit that.

“I know your signing isn’t very good yet,” he deliberated for a moment then shook his head, his normally neutral expression softening and turning more expressive as he signed. “Your signing is great, but I have a lot to say so I won’t slow down, sorry.”

Roscoe tilted his head to the side in confusion, a small smile playing on his lips. “It’s fine, babe, what’s up?”

“I love you,” Arden paused, hesitant, then nodded. “I love you so much, I need you to know that. I never thought I would be able to admit that so freely, but it’s true. I love you. I love that you worry about me enough to send letters and that you worry about me at all -- I love how you get on with my parents, I love how --” he stopped with a silent laugh, shaking his head.

“This isn’t what I wanted to say.” Arden wasn’t sure what exactly he had meant to say, but he suddenly realized that he’d said ‘I love you’ several times without realizing the weight of it, a mistake he didn’t intend to repeat.

Roscoe grinned. “Feel free to continue, I liked that.”

“One of the things I love about you is that you don’t need answers for everything. You’re so content with simplicity -- that sounds like an insult but it isn’t, I promise. Do you know how frustrating it is to need a reasoning for everything? I know it’s my fault, but I still find myself fighting against it. I admire that about you, love, I really do.”

Roscoe was smiling, still grinning widely, and Arden had a nearly matching expression on his face, much to Roscoe’s surprise.

“I’m going to tell everyone what a sap you are --” Roscoe’s teasing was cut off by Arden reaching out to grab his face and kiss him, a hand moving to his shoulder to bring them closer. Roscoe happily obliged, his hand resting on the back of Arden’s neck, the overgrown hair tickling his hand. Roscoe laughed, which Arden couldn’t hear but could feel, another thing he loved about being close.

“I love you,” Arden whispered.

“What’s gotten into you? Not that I don’t mind -- I love this, I love you, babe, but we were just studying.”

“I don’t know,” he admitted, leaning back so his hands were free. “I know I’m an asshole most of the time. I’m sorry. I don’t think that will ever change. But right now -- we can just pretend I’m…”

You deserve him as much as I deserve Griffin. (Which is to say: you don't.)

Arden hesitated for a moment before waving a dismissive hand and leaning forward to kiss Roscoe again for a distraction. He’d do anything for Roscoe to win these damn Games, but for now, studying could wait.

Islands by Rosden Shadow

In 2018, Rosden Shadow made 87 PuzzleScript games over an 87 day period. Islands is the apex of this monumental undertaking, a game that encourages the slow discovery of nine interconnected puzzle islands, each showcasing different mechanics.

Other games in the series typically opt for discrete levels instead, an approach I honestly found a bit less daunting!
