[superskeletonsimp]

Hello! What’s the personalities of the main characters you write for?

Also I think your blog is pretty cute so far ❤️

Omigosh! Hi! I could do that! I uh- have only written for three of these characters so far, so I’m not entirely sure yet myself actually, but I’ll try my best :)

Sans and Papyrus: The good ol’ classics! I write them the way that most other people do. Sans is a laid-back ‘lazy-bones’ who cares about his loved ones, Papyrus is a very optimistic skeleton who would do almost anything to make his friends and family happy <3

Underswap Sans: Blueberry! I love this tiny skeleton, he’s adorable and tiny and an amazing person. Most people depict him as very childish and naive, and while he usually is, he can also be mature if he needs to be. He loves his brother, and if you befriend him then he will also love you! This little guy is just full of love (and energy).

Underswap Papyrus: probably one of the nicest and understanding skeletons ever, Orange (named after the fruit, not the colour), not too unlike his brother, is filled with nothing but love for his family. He’s a great listener and he has a lot of great advice. I just really like him :)

Underfell Sans: Underfell Sans, or as I like to call him, Cherry, is a skeleton who has a lot of personal problems. He’s very reserved and very private with his feelings. This, however, does not mean that he doesn’t care about his family and friends, it just means that you have to be a little more patient with him to see his soft side. If you stick with him for long enough he will eventually open up to you, and he can be the sweetest little skeleton once he does.

Underfell Papyrus: I like to call this edgy skeleton, well, Edge! Edge can come across as very brash, even when he considers you close.. He likes to act very tough and like he doesn’t care too much, but unfortunately for him he suffers from something that almost all of the Papyruses do, accidental adorableness. He gets very flustered very easily, and it’s honestly very cute. Edge is a papyrus, so he can’t really be evil, even if he tried.

Horrortale Sans: Ah! One of my favourites!! I call this skeleton Slash! I have two ways of writing Slash, one that is more suited for fluffy stuff and one where he is a little more deranged. Personally, I like to write the fluffy version of him more. Slash is a very very big skeleton, he has the bestest hugs you will ever receive. This skeleton is the biggest cuddle bug in the world, but you need to be very close with him to see that side. He doesn’t really speak too much at all, but he’s somehow still really good in conversations. Like most other monsters in the Horror universe, Slash may show some more ‘animalistic’ behaviours, such has purring or growling. He can get rather possessive of those he are close with, but that’s because of the environment he comes from.

Horrortale Papyrus: I actually haven’t come up with a nickname for this papyrus yet, so I’ll have to figure it out. This super-tall skeleton has a scary look, but is one of the sweeter papyruses! He isn’t actually that different from Classic!Papyrus, so I don’t have too much to add. On the surface I would definitely see Horrortale Papyrus and Slash as vegetarian, or even vegan, like most other monsters from this universe. While he acts a lot like Classic pap, he can still be a little creepy sometimes, he just haven’t adjusted fully yet.

Mafiatale sans: One of my personal favourites, Judge! I haven’t really figured this AU out yet. While Judge is a lot like classic Sans in the way he acts, Judge isn’t against violence (since he’s...y’know...in the mafia). Again, I haven’t had time to figure out exactly how he acts or how to write for him, but I’m really excited to do so! So please request something for the Mafiatale AU!

Mafiatale Papyrus: I call this papyrus Snipe, like most of the fandom! I’d say he’s a lot like classic Papyrus, but much more mature. I’m sorry, I haven’t thought these through yet!! :(

Mafiafell Sans: OOOOOOOoooOo Boy! I love this boy a lot! I don’t know why, but I do. I call him Biff :) Mafiafell is probably one of my favourite AUs, it’s like Mafiatale, but more like an actual mafia? Anyways, Biff acts like the typical Mafia almost boss, he’s rich and handsome in his own skeleton way, and he absolutely knows it. He talks almost solely in 1920s mobster slang, and is NOT afraid to use violence to get what he wants. He’s a huge buttface and can’t take a no. Biff can really be a scary dude, but I love him.

Mafiafell Papyrus: I call him King(pin). He’s probably even more scary than Biff, this skeleton is absolutely terrifying to me. Like, Biff has limits, but this dude, he will do absolutely anything to get what he wants. He’s nuts and he’s the leader for the Mafia gang, so he’s also very smart.  Unlike Biff, King talks very fancy, he’s also very good at manipulating people. Over all, I don’t like him too much, but I still love him, if that makes sense.

Ahh! Thank you for sending this! Before I made this blog I kinda binge-read yours, so I appreciate it!

Now that I look at it, these aren’t really a lot of AUs...PLEASE SOMEONE SEND ME AUS IM REALLY NEW TO THIS I WANNA KNOW MORE thank you <3

[delimeful]

First time they saw Patton cuddling with Virgil? (Like y’know the energy thing maybe?) Or Virgil protecting the three of them from some other alien?

Okay, now that Making Adjustments is out in full, I’m posting all the asks that inspired me for certain parts or even just to continue writing! Thank you to everyone who sent in ideas/what they wanted to see/theories, I really appreciate it! All asks under the cut!

@ironwoman359 said: I’d be really interested to read about what the first week or two aboard the ship with all four of them was like. I’m sure it was a big adjustment for all of them, and it’d be really cool to see!

@skeletonsloverockcandy said: WINBAR prompt - Virgil’s first night on the ship, is not with Patton, and gets a nightmare. Logan finds him and Virgil has to explain his nightmare/dreams

@the-princey-pie said: Logan mentioned that Virgil would probbaly have trouble fitting through the space ship doors. Now I really want to see Vorgil stepping into their spaceship the first time/navigating it for the first few weeks.

@indigomasquerade97 said: WIBAR prompt. Virgil is Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. You know the scene I’m talking about! ;) Roman is still freaked out with the idea of having a human on board, and one night (maybe on patrol, since he is still jittery from loosing Patton and doesn’t want to loose him - or Logan - again) and he gets freaked out by the nocturnal human suddenly being in the room? IDK

Anonymous said: So. I was wondering for the WIBAR prompts, what was Virgil’s first night on the ship like? How did Roman and Logan act towards him? And is he worried that his relationship with Patton is going to change now that he’s back with his family? Sorry if this is a lot…

Anonymous said: WIBAR prompt idea: Food! Since food is often culturally connected for humans, would it be the same for our alien friends? And if they have any, from Virgil’s pov., strange food items etc. Would be interesting to see considering they are all from such different species. :D

@justanotherpurplebutterfly said: WIBAR: did Patton tell his crewmates how to interpret Virgil’s body language? Did they figure it out for themselves? Did they struggle to remember when they saw him smile or stretch (and make himself big) or something?

Anonymous said: I would love to see some V POV or adjustment period/cultural differences! (particularly L/R’s reactions to V smiling, differences in diet/hunting styles, what V considers a threat vs. what LMP consider threats… anything that highlights the deathworlder in Virg! (Space Australia is like my fav thing that came out of tumblr)) also maybe some more of L/R’s thoughts on Patton befriending a space boogieman?? I really really love this au! :)

Anonymous said: OoOOooh okay how about,, Virgil’s POV as they head back to Roman and Logan’s ship and get on, (and maybe if he doesn’t know the species Logan and Roman are he could ask? That seems the easiest way for us to learn more about the boys without it being too awkwardly shoved in) and V’s probably awkward because he doesn’t know Lo and Ro and Ro’s openly hostile and he wasn’t expecting to go along with them and idk you decide. Also :DD wibar’s not done yet!! Tysm; I’m really enjoying it!

@bishopriecke said: Okay, so I’ve got a couple prompts so I’ll send them separately in case that’s how you’d wanted them? The story is absolutely adorable and it made me think of the sleeping habits back on the ship. There’s space for Virgil, but will Pat gravitate to sleeping with him, since it was such a comfort and Virgil only gets sleepy if he snags energy during cuddles? If he’s tired/virgil’s stressing over something will he wander over to where Virgil is chilling and settle in his lap? How’s Ro&Lo react?

@bumblebeekitten said: Do any of the others attempt to learn Virgil’s language? Or maybe Virgil quietly tries to dispel some of the more hurtful rumors about ‘deathworlder humans’?

Anonymous said: What would wibar Roman and Logan do if they couldn’t find Patton? Would they assume Virgil had done something?

Anonymous said: While waiting for more WIBAR, I keep re-reading everything (Act 1, Intermission, all the world building asks). Right now, I just want to plead with Patton to go find Virgil as he needs comfort, to calmly tell Logan that I don’t blame him, and to hiss at Roman that, while he has had bad experiences and that is valid, he needs to be nicer. Granted, a reaction like that from a human fan-nut probably wouldn’t help Virgil’s case… but he needs a hug so much right now!

Anonymous said: i’m thinking there’s lots of potential for hurt/comfort with this chapter. Virgil’s obviously panicking so i reckon he’s gonna have to try and convince himself that he can trust Patton if not the others. i feel like virgil still wont trust the others but they’ll get to see that he’s not always this big, strong deathworlder and he gets scared just like them. he’s been traumatised and he cares for Patt a lot and theyll try to understand eachother better and hopefully become friends/gain some trust

Anonymous said: that is very much wishful think and a need for my boys to be happy though haha. soz, that probably wasnt very helpful for writing but thats just something i’d like to see happen but i KNOW that whatever you end up writing is gonna be fabulous (ran out of room on my last ask and couldnt even sign it, whoops)

@justanotherpurplebutterfly said: I’m mainly really curious how Roman will react. If he has even have as big of an imagination as buobba Roman then he will probably interpret Virgil’s outburst as a violent attack and try to frame him as a danger they shouldn’t keep on the ship. However if he was able to detect Virgil’s fear then this might be the first step of them growing closer. Idk which I like better, because on one hand I want them to to get along and witness wacky human things in an amicable atmosphere, but on the other hand, misunderstandings are soooo good!!!! Most of all I want Virgil to get a hug though. Poor boy deserves one. I don’t care with who it is, although I suspect it will be Patton because no way the other ones trust Virgil enough and vice versa.

@yalltookmyurlideas said: Haha wibar fears? There are,,, so many. My main fear is that Roman will misinterpret Virgil’s panic to mean he’s hiding something and not see it for the panic and fear it is.

Anonymous said: I was thinking about for WIBAR, are we going to find out more about Virgils life on Earth? Is there angst there or is it irrelevant? Also would Logan and Roman go after Virgil themselves so as not to worry Pat or would they realise this was a situation they couldn’t solve? OR does Roman think V is attacking them and goes to hurt him? Sorry long ask but I’m excited for the chapter 😅😅🥰🥰

Anonymous said: Ayyy super late gang, barely got a hour of sleep bc anxiety/nightmares so yeehaw. I guess for WIBAR, the most essential thing to consider is how you want Making Adjustments to sorta add onto its characters & how they interact. Idk that ofc, but I think the situation is going to resolve into a ‘im only human’ (the irony) kinda situation and the crew (maybe minus patton??) only /starting/ to grasp the human is a bunch of damaged goods who is lowkey more scared of them than they are of he (½)

Anonymous said: (2/2) how i see the situation going down? Depends who finds him. If it’s Pat, he could sing him clam like in the cell. If its Roman or Logan, odds are Virgil’s gonna b scared & his response will be to Fight or Freeze, as he already did the Flight option. Virgil reacting like a cornered animal would be terrifying Ro and Lo. (Also Ro and Lo going to wake up Pat for Human Help has the same vibes of a child waking up their parents to tell them they puked lmao)

@killerfangirl3 said: After where you left last chapter, I am 100% terrified Roman will find Virgil before Patton and cause real danger to everyone. After all Virgil is flooded with adrenaline right now and he barely knows how his strength affects the metal? of the ship as it is. The sudden increase in strength if he was attempting to defend himself could cause him to put a hole in the ship.

@hotchocolatehugs said: Oh! Also, would Virgil calm down if Patton found him, or would it just make him worse/more crazed? I dunno about his state of mind, but if I were in his position I would probably be acting aggressively to anyone who came in. Do aliens have hot chocolate or tea, or some equivalent drink? Because I think Virge needs a calming drink. (sorry if this is too much!)

Anonymous said: I saw your latest post and all I could think about is Virgil stuck on the appliance, really high up and close to the ceiling unseen while he sees Roman and Logan below. Maybe a bit of a language barrier while they say some words that Virgil may not no yet and jumping to conclusions and filling in the blanks in the sentences

Anonymous said: I’m afraid that In WIBAR, Roman may keep Pat from going to find and comfort Virgil and just…leave him up there

@katelynn-a-fan said: Mission impossible theme while looking for Virgil. Too short can’t see Virgil on top appliance. Mission impossible theme continues and fades into the distance. (That’s all I got)

Anonymous said: WIBAR suggestions/predictions/fears: I worry about Roman or Logan finding Virgil before Patton - Roman because I don’t think he will be understanding about how afraid Virgil is; Logan because I think that would scare Virgil more. He might break out of his flight stage into fight, and that could make them fear him more. But, while worry about this scenario, maybe it would be for the best. Maybe one or both need to find him at a low to see that he isn’t a monster, just scared.

@enby-phoenix said:

OK so wibar thoughts! I’m a little concerned that Roman will think that Virgil was genuinely trying to attack him with that chair and also probably trying to hurt Logan, and he’s gonna get upsetti. I also think that the way they figure out what’s made Virgil go all fight or flight will probably involve Logan doing the memory share thing, but it’ll take them a bit to get close enough without Virgil threatening to bite Logan’s hands off.

Also PLEASE let my boy eat a full meal and get some proper sleep!

I would also love to see Virgil curled around Patton protectively but everyone knows that it’s Patton who’s making Virgil feel safe.

Another prediction is that Logan, realizing that SOMETHING bad just happened, and knowing that all his information on humans seems to be incorrect or at least not apply to this one, will go to Patton for advice on what to do regarding Virgil’s sudden change of behavior, and how to calm him down again. Cause Patton is the resident expert on Virgil.

I also imagine that Logan might keep his note taking to himself again for a bit, until Virgil believes that he’s not the bad kind of scientist.

I love that Virgil climbed on top of the tallest thing he could find, and I imagine that if it’s above everyone else’s usual eyelines, they each walk past him multiple times while they’re worriedly searching the ship for him.

I’m mostly imagining Virgil clinging to Patton like a lifeline and the other two aliens worrying for their tiny friend but Patton knows that Virgil is just scared and sings him the “calm down baby it’s okay I’m here” hatchling soothing song until Virgil calms down a little, and then still staying with him while explanations are had. They do not come out of the small space on top of the tallest appliance and Roman doesn’t like that but he’ll deal.

Now that I’m thinking about it more, one of the best ways for Logan to gain (at least a little bit of) Virgil’s trust would be for Virgil to see his honest reaction to what the other scientists did to him. Cause based on what I know of Logan, he would be horrified. And that might help Virgil to realize that Logan ISN’T LIKE those other scientists.

Anonymous said: *gets out the defibrillator to help kickstart the creative juices* At this point Virgil is running on fumes and when the trio find him Patton tries to comfort him. But he’s too stressed and feels betrayed and there’s just too much inner turmoil for him to hold back so he finally breaks down in front of them. Perhaps it’s not Patton that manages to calm him down, but Roman who finally recognizes him as a traumatized person rather than “just an evil human” :D

@enby-phoenix said: tbh Virgil probably hisses at either Logan or Roman at some point and it makes them nervous and confused.

Anonymous said: Roman forcing Virgil down from his hiding spot. 'Blade’ to his neck and tying him to a chair. Virgil thinking that he shouldn’t have run and that they are going to be even angrier at him now, ergo more painful experiments. Begging to be put under for the cutting away and to please don’t get mad at Patton (just in case Patton was trying to be a good friend).

Anonymous said: Suggestion for WIBAR - Roman goes looking for Virgil, all ready for a confrontation. But, when he finds him, Virgil unknowingly makes some sort of gesture that means fear/terror to Roman’s people and he stops and evaluates the situation with clearer eyes. This gives Patton/Logan/both a chance to get there.

Anonymous said: Can we get somr wibar fluff/angst?

Anonymous said: I’m just waiting for WIBAR Virgil to just pass out and the panic of everyone that sees him. Or Roman threatening him or Logan goes to touch him and BAM he’s on the floor!

Anonymous said: Stuff for WIBAR: 1: who’s gonna find Virgil? 2: what’re they gonna do with him? 3: how’s he gonna react? – Options: Patton: tries to comfort him Virgil: can’t decide whether to trust or not, maybe leading to emotional outburst and sad PatPat – Logan: scared cuz danger goblin had an outburst at him. Wondering what he did wrong & how to best proceed Virgil: 'he’s gonna do tests on me’ fight or flight – Roman: 'so, if you hurt my friends imma hurt you’ Virgil: fight or flight – ½

Anonymous said: 2/2 Of course those aren’t the only options, but it was fun for me, and I hope it got creative juices flowing for you as well. I love all your writing, and I want you to know that you can take as long as you need to be proud of your work. It’s okay. And take care of yourself too! You can’t make as good of work when you aren’t feeling as good as usual

"Now, you're staying. And obeying me." gang!Ashton (Golden Star Fanfic)

A/N: I know im late, I know I didn’t answer anyone on DM’s or asks, sorry, life is kinda crazy right now, but here I’m with the chapter number eight . Hope everyone likes it.

Summary: Now, all that really matter is save Calum.

You can find the previous parts here

At the Golden Star everyone was a complete mess, you got to the hospital area and a second later you were alone with Calum almost dead while Ashton, Luke and Michael screamed to each other in the hallway. You got out and tried to get their attention, but they ignored you like you didn’t even exist. Coming back inside the room, you saw a gun right beside the door and took it before leaving again, finding the three men screaming without listening to each other, you pointed your gun to the ceiling and shot, making everyone stop talking to look at you while pieces of the ceiling fall on all of you.

"Shut the fuck up. I need all of you inside that room right now." you said, your voice so firm that even you got impressed.

"We need to find Noah, I'm going to kill that bastard." Michael said, he sounded so mad that you remembered why you feared him the most.

"You can kill this son of a bitch another time." you said again, now trying to be a little more calm before opening the door "Now, you're staying. And obeying me."

"You-" Ashton started to talk, but you interrupted him.

"I'm not asking, I'm demanding. Calum is dying and I can't do this alone, so get in this fucking room and help me save your goddamn best friend." you pointed and they all got in, grabbing everything they needed. Making Calum stable was hard, the amount of blood that he had lost was almost impossible to put again, luckily Luke was the same blood type and you could get more with him aside what  you had stored at the time. After more than three hours and more things that you remembered of doing in your whole career, you did everything you could and the four of you were sitting on the floor looking at Calum and the machine that indicated that his heart was still beating. Slowly, but beating.

"What now?" Ashton asked. If wasn't for his completely tired face, he would be looking like a psycho, blood all over the place, the same as you and the other two.

"Now we wait." you said taking a deep breath. "And we shower because it looks like a fucking massacre." they all giggled and all of you left the room to take a well deserved shower. Less than one hour later all of you were in the kitchen, sitting at the table trying to eat the something like pasta you made. "What happened here? Where's everyone?"

"We got attacked almost three months ago, Noah killed everyone here and promised that he would kill us too." Luke said with a sigh, he was already on his second plate and the food weren’t even this good.

"That's what this is about. You were used as bait to attract one of us, so he could kill who got there with you." Ashton said, his voice was so lower that you almost didn't heard, for the first time you saw him looking vulnerable.

"I didn't known, I'm sorry." you said looking to your lap, but then you felt arms around your body and when you looked up, you saw Michael trying to smile to you.

"Calum and I knew and didn't thought about it before going with you." he shook his head. "We thought that you were out of the game. We’re really sorry for what happened and for dragging you down again with us." tou just shook your head, trying to give him a small smile.

"That's exactly why they used her." the anger was coming back to Ashton's voice. "We would never suspect."

"And now what?" you asked looking between then.

"Now he need a plan." Michael said, he let you go, nut kept his hand above yours for a while.

"Can I have a saying?" you raise your hand and they all look at you with furrowed eyebrows. "I'm new on this shit, I know, but I think we should wait, you know, for Calum to get better."

"First, we?" Ashton let a smirk scape from his lips. "Second, you're insane if you think that I'll let that fucking bastard alive for the next 24h."

"I'm buried in this shit with you guys." you shrugged. "And he used me, I could get killed, gosh, I could be the reason if they killed Calum. I want to shot this Noah guy in the face." all of them were looking at you with smirks on their faces. "I’m already on hell, it’s best just to go take my place on the throne."

“The throne? You?” Michael raised one eyebrow, smiling. “Are you saying that you want to be a Golden Star?”

“Hell no!” Ashton shouted. Alll of you looked back to him. “First, the main rule here is no women allowed.” he started, you were about to call him sexist when he talked again. “Not because I don’t think that women can handle this shit, I know they can, but because men are shit and I would never be able to live with myself knowing what men like Noah could do for revenge with women.”

“I still get pretty impressed that you have some kind of morals.” you giggle, making all of them look at you faking an offended face.

“Excuse me, but we still humans. No one here is a monster.” Luke said with a very dramatic voice.

“Well, Michael is, but…” Ashton started, getting an punch from Michael. “I’m not lying.”

“He’s not.” Luke agreed, Michael just rolled his eyes. “Anyway, what do you want to do?”

“You guys need to stay low.” You talked again after some time. “Calum is far from well, anything can happen and now your main job is keep that guy alive. Plus, let Noah wait. Now he’s waiting for retaliation, he thinks Calum is dead, of couse the next step for Ashton is to go after him. Let him wait, trick him, by the time Calum gets better, Noah will be already dealing with another stuff and you guys will have your shot.”

“To be honest, I think she’s right.” Luke said.

“That’s because she’s.” Michael just nodded.

When we left off last time, the gang had just finished defeating a group of racists in a street brawl involving fire and puns. Now, the leader of the orc group they were defending, Siv, has suggested they move someplace more discreet to avoid the gathering crowd’s eyes. The gang (minus Belloth who was busy arm wrestling villagers or something) reaches a basement tavern on the impoverished side of town where the orcs reside.

Shadowdancer orders her usual tall glass o’ cow juice.

Shadowdancer: "Gimme the tit squeezins!"

Bartender: “Calm down...Here...”

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [I taste it]

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [is it cold]

Hamster Master (GM):  [its the coldest and most delicious milk you've ever tasted]

Shadowdancer: "Holy shit."

Shadowdancer drinks all of it and leaves the milk mustache on. 

The group is curious about what happened back at the town. Siv tries to explain as best as she can.

Apparently those kinds of scuffles happen often, with people that like to push the orcs around whenever they enter the town square. The mood grows even icier at the mention of Frida.

Tuile: "Have you...spoken to or interacted with the woman known as Lady Frida lately?"

Shadowdancer: "Or with the people working for her?"

As the name of the lady leaves your lips you notice how the orcs around you suddenly tense up, and the friendly smile on Siv's face turns almost sour and forced.

Siv: Ah...the lady.

Tuile: "Oh. Welp.”

Corva: "I take it you guys aren't on good terms."

Siv: Well I can't say she's very...popular among us.

Shadowdancer: "Why's that?"

The orc beside her, a shorter male, scoffs at that.

Shadowdancer: "I heard some of you had a bit of a scuffle with a few of her guards that were out of uniform."

Male Orc: She's a fucken piece of wolf-shit.

Shadowdancer: "I don't doubt that.”

Tuile: "From what we've learned, that seems reasonable." 

Despite the discrimination the orcs have faced before, Frida is the only noble to try and actively get rid of them.

Siv: When she stepped into power she immediately began renovating our homes, and at first that gave us hope of course but....then we weren't let back in. It's like she's waiting for the people to take us out...or sickness...or the cold of sleeping outside at night.

Corva: "That's awful, I'm so sorry. Who were the houses given to after they were stolen from you?"

Shadowdancer wipes her milk stache with a sympathetic expression.

Siv: Thank you...Well it was given to anyone else, really. People from the bad parts that needed new homes. As long as they weren't orcs.

Tuile tries to prompt Siv into saying more but fails a persuasion check. Shadowdancer tries and passes, leading Siv and Shadowdancer to a conversation the rest of the group isn’t privy to.

Shadowdancer: "You knew he was watching but didn't do anything about it? I suppose there wasn't much to do without looking even worse."

Siv: “He was adorable. We were going to talk to him but then they showed up and we didn't want him to get hurt.”

Shadowdancer nods.

Siv: “He was safer up there.”

Shadowdancer: "Fair enough."

The group is confused but Shadowdancer waves it off.

A room check shows nothing out of the ordinary besides the orcs regarding the group with suspicion. Shadowdancer agrees to help the orcs in any way. After a quiet discussion, the rest of the group reaches that same agreement after acknowledging that they hold no loyalties to Frida and are mostly in it for the money they were promised.

Siv then mentions a ‘Boss,’ much to the confusion of the group.

Siv: “Well if you want to help we can probably find something for you, though we'll have to save that talk for later.”

She looks at her group and they nod, all smiling.

Siv: “We got to speak with Boss first about this. Don't worry. We'll send someone to find you.”

Shadowdancer looks at the others and mouths "Boss?"

Corva shrugs.

Tuile shakes her head and crosses her arms, looking down.

The group decides it’s time to go, but not without being reminded of the goal they’ve all been striving for with all their hearts:

Camilla (Corva): [guys i reckon larry is lost forever now]

Cravin Raisins (Tuile): [:( thats quitter talk]

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [sock keeper ate him]

Cravin Raisins (Tuile): [prOBABLY]

Hamster Master (GM): [#justiceforlarry]

Briar (Heskan): [larry is secretly some eldritch abomination and is heskan's patron]

Tuile thirsts after Siv and her orc teeth.

The group heads out for the night to sleep but realize it’s only 16:00 (4 PM) in game. They find ways to pass the time.

Shadowdancer flirts with orcs, who are very interested in her sparkling horns.

Tuile sulks in the corner and complains to Freya, her goddess. She answers with feelings of anger and sadness, which worry Tuile.

Corva spends the evening sorting through her things, looking unhappy.

Heskan does His Thing.

Shadowdancer rolls persuasion to try to convince an orc to invite her home so she doesn’t have to pay for a room. She rolls a 20. Two orcs, a muscly lady and one guy, are interested. 

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [bye lads i'm getting dicked down by an orc]

Tuile looks at the camera likes she's on the fantasy office.

More of the evening passes with Tuile fuming to her goddess about stress baking and moral crises, though Freya doesn’t seem concerned with baking at the moment.

Eff and Ham convince Cravin to roll persuasion to see if any of the Hot Orcs will wanna spend the night with Tuile.

Camilla (Corva): [Corva isn't interested in any peen or vageen]

Cravin Raisins (Tuile): [im gonna roll a 2 and have to leave town]

Hamster Master (GM): [there's a lady orc sitting next to ya]

Hamster Master (GM): [she's glancing over at you]

Tuile rolls and gets a 23.

Hamster Master (GM): [HOLY]

Eff Off (Shadowdancer): [NICE]

Camilla (Corva): [damn]  

Cravin Raisins (Tuile): [BYE LOSERS]  

While Tuile and Shadowdancer are occupied, Heskan and Corva figure out where they’re going to sleep for the night. Both decide to spend the night at the tavern they’re occupying for 5 silver.

The night passes and the group meets up once again at the tavern’s main area. It is uneventful and Shadowdancer definitely does NOT ask Tuile is she nutted. Neither Shadowdancer nor Tuile explicitly admit they had sex with the orcs, either.

Then, the ground begins to shake.

Everyone rolls dexterity to see if they fall.

Heskan and Corva manage to stay upright by grabbing onto the bar counter.

Shadowdancer falls but is unhurt.

Tuile falls on her face immediately.

Everyone is confused.

The bartender makes a comment about the gods, making Tuile suspicious. She helps Shadowdancer pick up the broken glass from the bar, deep in thought. She gives herself a cut and is healed by Corva. Tuile recollects talking to her goddess earlier and the feelings of anger and stress she felt. She decides to try and contact her goddess again.

Slowly the feeling of anxiety spread to your body, as if it's being forced upon you. But just as sudden as it appeared it's gone again.

Heskan: "What's wrong?

Tuile: "She's angry. Scared of something. Anxious. I-I don't know exactly..."

Heskan: "What could be powerful enough to make a god scared?"

Shadowdancer: "Don't like that."

Heskan: "Me neither."

Tuile looks sick and panicked.

She heads to the door for fresh air when it opens, another person crashing into her. The figure reveals herself to be Mari!

She says she is here to meet with the group, and when questioned takes out a piece of paper.

There's only a sigil on it, a blind raven with an eye in its beak.

Mari: “We've decided to welcome your help.”

Australian Birds Tier List

Me and the gang ware currently, actively watching a cool and good nature documentary about birds of paradise and their looks and dancing which is what inspired this nonsense. And it’s got to be Australian birds, because we’ve got so many good ones (though this does mean I can’t assign S++ tier to the Best Bird, the Red-Tailed Hawk).

Unfortunately, I don’t know a massive amount about the local wildlife. Fortunately I’m surrounded by people who can insist I’m making the wrong choices. And also let me know what I’m looking at. So some of these are going to be informed opinions. Probably not most of them? Anywho.

Aight as always tiers go from D to S ascending and opinions are mostly mine.

D tier, as it so often does, only gets one member. The Ibis. The infamous Bin Chicken. They don’t look that bad, but they’re worse than seagulls when it comes to ganking shit from your bins. We’ve got a couple in the local area, and it’s bin night tonight, and you bet your ass they are up in everyone’s business. They always have the most sheepish look when you catch them doing it, to.

Wait, I just realised Seagulls weren’t on this list. Nor are Pelicans? Actually there’s a lot bloody missing here isn’t there…?

C tier is somewhat more populous.

First off, going right to left. The.. purple swamphen? Apparently? Even our resident knows-Aussie-wildlife mans isn’t 100% certain. After a quick google, that is what it looks like. These things aren’t native to WA, so I have no opinions to have about it. I’m sorry, purple swamphen fanatics.

Next is the BLOODY GALAH. They’re pink, they’re feathery, there’s giant flocks of them in my neighbourhood, and they sure are birds. There’s just so many of them nearby, man. They’re the pigeons of suburban Perth. (For reference, the pigeons of urban Perth are pigeons.)

Next there’s the…brushturkey? Another I don’t know, another not native to WA. This one gets a lot of bonus points for being flightless. Love me a flightless bird, and we’ll get to more.

Final member of C tier is the humble Magpie. Just kidding, nothing about these motherfuckers is humble. They’re smart, they’re violent, and they’re coming for your eyeballs. I’ve never been swooped myself, but I’ve heard horror stories. With that said, they’re also iconic, and I can’t help but respect the hustle, like, im pretty sure you can train these bad boys and bend them to your whims. And who doesn’t want a butcher bird army?

 B tier, the ones I feel generally more positive about. B is for birb, after all.

Firstly, white fuckin cockatoo baby now my main issue with these fellas is that like 90% of the ones I’ve seen have been in cages. And that’s just sad, isn’t it. But they’re handsome and I believe pretty smart, and that’s a hard combination to pass up. Look at this fella. Cutie.

Next up is the Kookaburra, possibly the most overrated Australian bird. I don’t know if you’ve ever lived in an area full with these guys, but they are nooooooooooisy. As well, when I was younger, we had a gumtree in our front yard that they loooooved nesting in, and would routinely litter our grass with honky nuts- especially when we were trying to clean it up. That might be the most Aussie thing I’ve ever written, but here we are. They’re iconic enough to get a B, it’s not like I don’t like them, but they can be annoying, you know?

Speaking of the ones everyone knows, we got the Emu. Big lanky boys. Very polite, frankly. There was a couple of them vibing in Exmouth town centre last time I was there, and they were just hanging out. Couple kids and an adult, very cute. I think they get a lot of cred as like, Our Thing, but we have a lot of those, and my hipster heart cannot help but resent the popular thing a little bit. I do like the way they bob their head though.

At this point its been like an hour since I actually made the tier list (we’re watching Bumblebee now) and I’m wondering why the fuck I put Cassowary over Emu. Probably something to do with them being literal actual Velociraptors. Dinosaurs are fucking cool. Cassowaries are absolutely terrifying, frankly, and in some ways that can be a good thing. It is good to keep a healthy respect for the wildlife around you. I feel like these are basically the epitome of the meme that everything in Australia is deadly, but maybe that’s ok.

Finally, the Rainbow Lorikeet. On the one hand, they’re fucking pretty. On the other, they’re invasive to the state and pretty aggressive. On the other other hand, they’re real pretty.

A tier babyyyyyyy

Now I love me a bird of prey, and the Wedgie is no exception. I think Hawks are better, personally, but an eagle is fine too. As far as football teams go, it’s easily the reverse, and I assume the Wedgie is the eagle being referred to for the West Coast Eagles. Clearly the best footy team, Dockers aren’t as good. Very enjoyable birb.

Next, the Cockatiel- aka the Weiro. I don’t know much about these birbs. But I know that they are adorable. And that might just be enough sometimes.

Next of all the Crow. Take everything good and cool about the Magpie, and remove the parts where they hate people. They’re sleek (but not edgy like a Raven), they’re smart, they look and sound cool. Love me a fuckin Crow.             I know some people find the Caw Caw annoying. In someplaces they’re, like, Harbingers? But they’re good boys.

Finally, the S tier birds. Extremely good and cool birds. Only two here.

First of all: the Aussie Kestrel gets a lot of points for being an extremely cute and good bird. Seriously, look up photos. It’s fucking adorable. It also gets many a point for having the name Kestrel, because I’m very nostalgic for FTL. I understand Kestrels are a relatively common species worldwide, but the ones here are particularly cute. That’s pretty much it.

And finally, the Fairy Penguin. Take your standard penguin. Cute waddly flightless bird, genuinely considered one of the gold standards for cuteness.

Now make it smaller and cuter. That’s the entire bit. That’s the tea, sis.

What you want closing remarks? Nah, fuck that. Later, nerd.

BIGBANG - MAFIA!AU - SERIES 3

A BIGBANG FANFICTION

Summary: The saying goes, ‘the mafia is family, the mafia is home’…but even if ‘the mafia is home’…is it really the right place to raise a child?

A/N: For those that aren’t enjoying the beauty that is Eurovision, here is Chapter two of mafia! :D

Masterlist (including series one and two)

Chapter 2

He could only stare at it.

For the first time in his life, Seunghyun had no idea what to do.

Every time a member of the gang got kidnapped or injured, he’d known exactly how to respond, he’d take out the threat and then carry them to safety.

Every time Jiyong had given him some unexpected information; when he learned about how the guy killed his parents, a raid happening on the base, when he told him he’d kidnapped Y/N…he’d been surprised but he’d reacted instinctively, getting down to business to progress onto the next move of whatever plan was playing out.

But in that moment…

…his mind was completely blank.

‘What’s your name?’

He didn’t know where the words had come from, why he’d said them, or even why he’d said it in such a soft tone as he’d slowly lowered himself into a crouch, not moving any closer toward the child in case he scared him. But before he could even think about what he was doing, he was nodding encouragingly at the child as he observed him, the little boy’s eyes appearing inquisitive as he wipes them free of tears, frowning puzzledly at the man before him.

‘I wont hurt you. …My name is Seunghyun-…can you tell me yours?’ he asks in a soft voice, tilting his head to emphasize his question, and watching as the boy pulls his knees closer to himself, shaking his head at Seunghyun in fear.

‘I’m not going to hurt you. I just need you to tell me your name.’ he insists, creeping a step closer, but the move has a whimper of fear escaping the boy, and the sound freezes Seunghyun in his steps, holding his hands up in surrender, to tell him he wouldn’t get any closer.

‘Okay!...okay…- im just going to get my phone out of my pocket…okay?’ he informs him, a voice in his head asking him why he was stating his actions as he went, but by watching the little boy as he did so, he could see that it put him at ease slightly.

‘I’m just going to call my friend, so that he can come and-‘

‘No!’

The word suddenly spouting from the boy as he shakes his head violently stuns Seunghyun into stopping all movement, watching the boy for a moment before sliding his phone back into his pocket and standing back up with a sigh.

‘Little boy, you need to tell me your name so that I can find your parents and-

Its at that point that the kid starts crying.

‘Shit.’

‘Hey…hey! Don’t cry, kid. I just want to help you, you just need to tell me your-‘

The second he takes a step towards the small child, he yelps and scrambles to his feet, dodging free of Seunghyun’s hands as he goes to grab him before he can run off, and disappearing out the door behind him. He makes to sprint after him, launching himself out the door as he calls to him-

-Only to run smack bang into Seungri.

‘Woah! Hyung, what-‘

‘Which way did he go!?’ he asks urgently, making to push the man out of the way when he takes a second too long to answer, but Seungri maintains a tight hold on his arm.

‘You saw the fox too?’

For a moment Seunghyun stares at the younger man as if he was nuts, before quickly answering him.

‘It wasn’t a fox, it was a child!’ he snaps, shoving him away and making to run around the side of the building where he presumed he’d ran, but ending up just jogging to a stop when he stares into the darkness and realizes how worthless it would be to try and find him in the dim light.

‘Crap. Was it really a child, hyung?’ Seungri speaks up as he comes up behind the older man, peering into the darkened trees over his shoulder, and moving to walk past him to get a better look, but Seunghyun just sighs and grabs his arm.

‘There’s no point…he’ll be long gone by now. I’ll tell the security team to keep an eye out.’ He mutters, before turning back to look at the man beside him.

‘Why aren’t you watching the captives?’ he suddenly asks, making to sprint over to the barn, and distantly hearing Seungri calling after him as he goes.

‘Hyung! Don’t worry Jihyo’s watching him. I need to ask you- Hyung?! Hyung?-’

You don’t get to see Jiyong until almost 6pm the day you wake up in an empty bed.

After making your way to the mansion after leaving the flat, spending the morning eating your breakfast at the old breakfast table and reminiscing over the many mornings you’d woken up to him trying to cook you breakfast to care for you, you end up running errand after errand; cashing and paying money, checking orders, confirming training schedules for a few new recruits that Jiyong had hired, etc. Although you check the main office once or twice to see if you could find him, its not until you’re talking with Jihoon on the front steps of the mansion that evening to confirm handling procedures for the captives Seunghyun was currently manning (along with the others) before he left for the evening, that you catch sight of Jiyong’s car rolling up the driveway through the trees, excusing yourself from Jihoon with a farewell, before he walks away, and you watch as your lover parks up and gets out of the car.

‘Beautiful. How’s your day been?’ he asks, something about his tone makes you frown as your body whines at you to hug him, the desire to feel him against you almost overwhelming, but you force yourself to stifle it as you watch him skip up the stairs, before walking past you, not waiting for you at all.

Something was wrong.

But even if something was wrong, you had enough common sense to pretend that it wasn’t.

‘It was good. I sorted the orders that were backlogged for new arsenal. I’ve discussed the new recruits with Joe. And the taxman wont be hunting us down anytime soon, so you can relax in comfort tonight.’ You blabber, following him up the stairs as you usually would, although the two of you are a little stiff as you walk, and if anyone watching was paying you enough attention they’d probably see through the false neutral expressions you were wearing. Its only when you walk with him into the office and turn to shut the door quietly behind you, that he actually responds to you being there.

‘I’m sorry for leaving you this morning. I got a call from Seungri-‘

‘You don’t need to apologize.’ You cut him off as you turn to look at him, plastering a smile on your face, but finding it dulling almost instantly when you catch sight of him leaning against the edge of the desk, head bowed, and shoulders hunched high as he stands with his eyes closed. You don’t say anything else as you walk over, reaching up to cradle his cheek when you come to a stop before him, attempting to get him to look up at you, but regretting it slightly when he does, and his eyes are stained a pale red where he was so tired.

‘Ji…are you okay?’ you ask quietly, the need to hide any potential weaknesses bringing on a subconscious change in your voice, but not stopping you from holding his face gently between your hands, wrapping your arms around his shoulders when he leans forward to bury his face in your chest and trying not to let yourself make too many assumptions as you hold him to you, patiently awaiting his response.

‘Yeah…Seungri just called me this morning, worrying about Seunghyun- I…- I just haven’t stopped since then. Its been a long day.’ He murmurs, sighing heavily before finally raising his head to look at you, his eyes not quite making it to yours, but instead stopping on your lips- the look telling you he still wasn’t telling you something.

‘Ji, why was Seungri worried about Seunghyun-‘

A knock at the door stops your sentence short as you glance over at it, turning back to shoot Jiyong a questioning look, but not being able to get an answer before the door is opening and you’re quickly stepping away from Jiyong as he slips into business mode once more.

‘You wanted to see me?’

Speak of the devil, and the devil shalt appear.

‘Yeah. Come in.’ Ji directs him, gesturing for him to enter the room, although he already knew he wouldn’t sit, and you watch as his eyes dance between the two of you curiously as he comes to stand just in front of the sofa.

‘Whats the topic of the day?’ Seunghyun asks amusedly, appearing to be his usual self as a smirk lingers on his lips, despite the solemn look that Jiyong shoots him.

‘Seungri rang me early this morning saying there was a child on the base, that you’d seen it. …I want you to describe it to me; was it a girl, a boy, black hair, brown hair- If we can get a vague image of it drawn up to show everyone else, we can keep an eye out for it-… I don’t think it’d have gone far, and I’d rather not have a child running around the base…what with the nature of our work, and the amount of security that are running loose with weapons at the minute.’

You can only stare dumbly at Seunghyun as you let the information sink in that there was a child running round the head-quarters; what with recent discussions with Jiyong being about the topic of having a baby, you felt your stomach flip in response, and you had to fight to hide the surprise as it laced your veins with adrenaline.

‘I didn’t get a good look at him, but I can definitely provide details to help identify him. Although…given that it is just one child, im pretty sure he’s not going to be hard to spot.’ Seunghyun points out, something about his tone of voice being warmer than usual, making you raise an eyebrow at his obvious interest in the matter, but you’re barely able to focus on It when you were still caught up in the fact there was a child on the base in the first place.

‘I know. But just to be sure, get a sketch of him circulating the base, I don’t want any harm coming to a child on my watch.’ Jiyong responds, looking over at you without you noticing, and seeing the distracted expression on your face, knowing all too well that it was about the topic of a child, and moving his gaze to the floor as he compartmentalizes the information for later use, before nodding at Seunghyun to dismiss him.

‘I’ll be down to discuss the captives in a minute.’ You hear Jiyong murmur, the sound of Seunghyun leaving bringing you out of your thoughts where you’d moved across the room to stare out of the window, subconsciously attempting to look for the faceless, evasive child already. His hands touching your waist as he silently approaches you from behind, has you letting out a shaky breath as you turn your head slightly towards him, forcing your expression into a gentle smile as he drops a kiss to your shoulder, before burying his face in the crevice of your neck.

‘I’ve got to go and deal with Kyungil and his lot…but I’ll meet you in the kitchen in an hour for dinner, is that okay?’ he murmurs, staying away from the subject of the child, and you’re all too thankful to him for doing so, nodding your agreement as you sigh, and turning towards him to set a soft kiss on his lips, one which slowly grows until you’re forced to push him back gently with a genuine smile.

‘Go. …I’ll see you in a little while.’

‘Mmmm, you’re so delicious.’ He murmurs against your neck as the two of you sit at the breakfast bar, having been sharing a large bowl of carbonara for your dinner, before Jiyong had started going in heavy on the skin ship- something you didn’t mind at all after feeling so distant from him all day.

‘As delicious as the pasta?’ you ask teasingly, biting your lip as he nips at the skin below your ear as he chuckles deeply.

‘Oh, you’re so much yummier, my beautiful Y/N.’ he whispers, making you moan quietly as you squeeze his thigh, closing your eyes as you get lost in the feel of his mouth caressing your skin, getting impatient after a while and turning your head towards him, seeing the mischief dancing in his cat like gaze and his gummy grin, before locking your lips with his.

‘Yah! Cut back on the PDA, I’ve come to eat.’ A familiar voice reprimands, but you ignore it as you reach up to hold Ji’s head in place, continuing to kiss him and feeling your libido jump with anticipation.

‘Guys! Seriously? Can we not engage in some casual dinner conversation whilst I eat? Just for like 5 minutes? I’ve been lonely since Ji side-lined me.’

‘Well that was on you, wasn’t it -bae.’ Ji murmurs in response, the words being muffled against your lips and making you smile as you go to resume exploring his mouth with your tongue, but all too soon the chance is taken away from you- although the direction the conversation took wasn’t all that uninteresting.

‘Okay, fair enough…but can we talk about Seunghyun’s weird obsession with Kyungil’s gang instead then?’

‘Goddamn you, Youngbae.’ Ji murmurs as you immediately pull away from him and turn your attention to the other man who had set himself up across the table.

‘Have you found out anymore?’ you ask interestedly, feeling Jiyong squeeze your hip frustrated in an attempt to get you to look back at him, but you just smile apologetically at him instead, watching him sigh as he gives up and reclines in his chair with his arm still around you, before turning your sights back on to the man grinning smugly opposite you.

‘Well…Seungri told me earlier, that when he went to take over from Daesung last night, he ran into Seunghyun as he left the barn. But get this-, he said that he looked really pale and angry for some reason!’

‘…Bae…Seunghyun always looks pale and angry. Whats your point?’ you ask pointedly, beginning to grow irritated with him for interrupting your moment with Jiyong over nothing, but that’s before the man beside you pipes up.

‘…When exactly was this?’ Ji asks, looking over at the other man sceptically.

‘It was between Daesung and Seungri changing so it must have been 2:30…maybe 3-‘

‘Well, it has nothing to do with the child then. …maybe he’d just had enough. He’s been trying to get information out of Kyungil for over a week now, and I know its screwing with him that he still doesn’t know why they came for him… perhaps I should take him off of watch detail-‘

‘Are you joking?’ you cut him off, turning to him with an incredulous frown, before quickly squeezing his thigh in apology when you realize how harshly you’d spoken.

‘What I mean is…- its obvious he’s infatuated with finding out about why people are after him,…I mean…I’d even go so far as to say he’s attached himself to Kyungil what with being around him so much. …Taking him off of watch detail would frustrate him. Actually…-‘

‘If you suggest what I think you’re going to suggest, I might just lose it.’

You watch him intently for a moment, the two of you communicating silently as you try not to smile at him knowing you like the back of his hand, the grin that slips from you being met with a groan of frustration as he hangs his head back and barks out a growl.

‘Either of you going to tell me what the suggestion is?’ Youngbae asks after you’d leant over and kissed Jiyong on the cheek, the move being met by a grumble, before you turn to answer him with a mischievous look.

‘I’m going into the belly of the beast.’

You hear voices as you make your way across the quad to the barn, but the second you step through the boundary of the fence that ran its perimeter, the place descends into silence, and you cant help but feel the eeriness seep out of the building towards you.

In all fairness to Jiyong, he hadn’t put up much of a fight to stop you from going to scout it out, either too tired from the events of the day, or more worried about Seunghyun than you’d thought, but you’d ended up leaving him with only a kiss and a promise to return within half an hour.

As you open the door, you’re met with the sound of shuffling, catching sight of the prisoners lined up along the wall growing interested by your unexpected presence, but not sparing them much though as you close the door behind you, before turning your attention to Seunghyun where he sat in the front of a secluded cage against the back wall, the barred prison turning out to hold the leader of the raiding gang; Kyungil.

‘This is an unexpected visit, Y/N. Has Jiyong pissed you off?’ Seunghyun pipes up before you could even get into his line of vision, the skills of the man making you smile as they always did, as you come to a stop beside him, looking down at him to see his expression relaxed- almost smirking- before looking over at the captive before him.

‘Not really. Him and Youngbae just started discussing the pros and cons of the games room Bae wants to put next to the office, and even though I’ve already rebuked the idea, I got bored of them talking about how beneficial having both an xbox and a playstation was. …I figured things might be slightly more interesting over here.’ You explain, the story not being entirely untrue after you’d left the other two arguing over the viability of said games room, with Jiyong sticking to your refusal, until the moment you’d stepped out of the room and you’d heard him begin to agree with the other man.

‘Unfortunately Youngbae will remain the same, Y/N. …although im afraid I cant provide you with any thrilling happenings, everything had been very static in here for the past 2 hours until you walked in just now.’ He says, only glancing at you momentarily throughout the whole of your explanation, and even then not meeting your eyes, before snapping his gaze back to the man in front of him, his sights making you turn to observe him as well.

‘How’s this one?’

You word the question purposely to avoid identifying Kyungil by name, seeing if it would rile either of them up as you expected it would, as you slowly make to approach the cage, your advances being met with Seunghyun’s hand speeding out, to grab your wrist.

‘Don’t go too close, Y/N.’ he murmurs, his expression when you look back having slipped into a frown as he looks at your hand, but you simply smile at him before laying your other hand over his to get him to look up at you.

You don’t say anything, simply nodding at him, and feeling his grip loosen on you, before turning back to Kyungil and taking a few steps closer, until you were 2ft from the front of the bars, keeping your expression neutral as you observe him.

When you’d made your way over to Seunghyun, you’d observed how the imprisoned man had been sat on a mat in the centre of his cell, keeping his head fixedly down, but looking up from under his brow as you’d approached, his gaze on your feet. When Seunghyun had mentioned how ‘static’ things had been in the barn, you’d observed the tiny curl that had appeared at the edge of Kyungil’s lips, the observation revealing that he knew otherwise, but it was when Seunghyun had grabbed your wrist, that Kyungil’s response had interested you.

Because the second Seunghyun had touched you, the smirk had disappeared from Kyungil’s face, and in your peripheral vision you’d seen the way his jaw had jumped as he’d gritted his teeth, his hands where they had been sat in his lap bunching into fists, and his toes had curled just the tiniest bit.

‘He’ll come around eventually.’

The sudden words that you speak has Kyungil’s head snapping up to observe you, his expression when he sees you sporting the smallest smile, flattening out, as he blinks and turns his head to the side, mimicking passiveness despite already giving his intentions away with his response to you.

‘I’m not sure, he’s pretty stubborn. …Its been a week since-‘

‘I was talking about Youngbae.’ You cut Seunghyun off, before he can go on, turning to flash him a kind, yet knowing, smile, sparing one last glance at the man behind bars, to see him watching Seunghyun intently, before turning and heading back to the door, pausing beside Seunghyun and laying a hand on his shoulder.

‘We’ll find out soon. I promise.’ You whisper to him, squeezing his shoulder before you leave, and frowning as your mind runs over what you’d just learned.

SEUNGHYUNG

There’s silence after Y/N leaves.

They watched each other as they both waited for the other to speak, but after a full five minutes of mentally battling with one another, Kyungil is the first to break.

‘I don’t like her.’

‘Why not?’ Seunghyun asks calmly, picking a bit of fluff off of his sleeve, before unconsciously glaring back over at the other man, as he leans back on his hands, his lip curled in a semi-sneer.

‘She’s too…touchy.’ He answers, grimacing when Seunghyun chuckles at his wording, and getting to his feet impatiently as he watches the man across from him sigh heavily as he looks down at the floor.

‘Its how observant she is that should worry you. Not whether or not she touches people to communicate.’ Seunghyun responds, smiling gently to himself, the expression turning slightly sour as he remembers all the obvious signs Kyungil had just displayed to Y/N, telling her how he felt about Seunghyun, signs that the other man had already picked up on the very first day he’d been left alone with him and ever since.

He’d made sure to remain as passive as he could throughout the duration that she’d stayed, slipping when she’d tried to approach Kyungil, but that had still only revealed how possessive he was over the prisoner, more than likely computing in her mind that he wanted control over the situation, and to keep her safe.

‘You need to learn to control your expressions in the future, otherwise my plan to break you out wont work.’ Seunghyun murmurs after watching Kyungil struggle with his emotions over Y/N’s presence moments earlier, the other man beginning to pace his cell, before stopping in front of Seunghyun and leaning against the bars casually, as though he wasn’t imprisoned behind him. Although, when he processes what Seunghyun has said, he’s instantly looking over at him, his expression less interest, and more confused, and concerned.

‘Why would you want to break me out?’ he asks, frowning at the man in front of him, and watching him as he stands elegantly from the chair he’d been reclined in, walking silently forward until he was barely 30cm from Kyungil’s face- the closeness making the man’s heart pound- before smiling softly as he answers him.

‘Because you’re going to take me to your boss.’
