[melodic-haze]

Thinking about it now, yk who I'm most interested to see with reader who's Akivili's reincarnation but doesn't realise? Black Swan.

I can't help but keep thinking like. Imagine instead of the scene with Acheron, it's you who she wants to dance with. And why would you ever want to turn her down yk? She's beauty, she's grace, nobody would ever refuse her in your place.

It's clumsy at first, you never really knew that you'd be dancing in such a formal setting so you're kinda lost in this kind of situation. But don't worry, cuz Black Swan is here to guide you through every step until it all feels like a smooth wordless exchange between the two of you!!

She does find it slightly odd though, how everyone else seems to be looking at the two of you-- no, looking at you with curiosity and a want to be closer to you, with some of them even shuffling just a tad bit to dance nearby. It could be because you were one of the mysterious explorers of the cosmos......but for some reason she knew within her that that's not right

So she's undoubtedly curious, and you can see that glint in her eye as she pulls you in while you dance, and you hear her murmur "let me see you" before you feel a minor wave of something off briefly destabilising you before things go normal again. Well, not necessarily normal, considering how you feel more connected to your dance partner than ever and you feel this sense of foreboding unease from so far away......but beyond how you had to keep your guard up, it wasn't hurting you.

Things were. NOT the same in Black Swan's case. She sees your life before you got to Penacony, before your time as a Nameless, before you even discovered a passion for exploting the great beyond!! But she sees that there is another layer—one so old and so fractured and so broken and so unbelievably incomprehensible.

Like an Aeon.

The Memokeeper, much too curious for her own good to back down now, pushes through despite all the warning signs not to. These memories from beyond your supposed time? All fractured, irreparable, corrupted all through hell and back. Some of the ones she CAN comprehend is time spent by.. you and people that you've most definitely never known, all at so many different times and seemingly eras and they all melt into amalgamations of things she is sure you've NEVER experienced so what's going on????

And when she sifts through them all, what waits for her is an empty void. A purely empty space, the stars practically refusing to decorate this scape unlike before she went deeper into your mind.

And she sees youTHEM

And THEYyou reach out to her and attempt to drag her with youHERheTHEM to have her witness the lonely death of--

She severes the connection with a yelp—snaps out of it more like—as you dip her on complete accident because you placed your foot wrong. You're so stupidly proud of the save before you look at Black Swan and she looks like she's just had the most HORRIBLE scare paralysis possible. THEN your smile drops

You ask her if she's okay just in case she's absolutely unimpressed you, and it is only now when you notice all the attention on you and you ONLY❗️❗️❗️ And you pointedly narrow your eyes at her when she shakes her head and grits her teeth the slightest bit before answering. But she doesn't relent so okay fine, you won't.

But when she looks back into your eyes again and see that fire that was supposed to be briefly extinguished all those many years ago, not only is she even more intrigued, but.. perhaps even a little scared for you too.

After all, what awaits you at the end of your journey: the line that you had reached so long ago, or a new ending that over writes that abyssal loneliness?

..She hopes for dear life it's not the former.

How long has Ivan been wasting himself at this bar? His mind is a little mush, trying to drown out the thoughts in his head. He had recently gone on a date with Till, somebody he had been trying to charm for what was probably years now— and he probably just messed it all up by teasing the poor man when he admitted he hit a police officer with a guitar.

Now, here he is wasting his sorrows away and probable rejection from the man in a few hours. Oh, lord, he wasn't prepared. His head fell to the counter and he almost feels like sleeping, anything to get away and into his fantasies right now.

The bell to the bar chimes and he doesn't take note of it as he begins to doze off. The glass that is now empty with melting ice seems to mock him as he swears he can see Till in the glass reflection.

He musters a groan. Great, now even his mind is making fun of his rejection, "Hey, Ivan? That you?" The familiar voice rings and Ivan swears he sobers up on the spot.

"Oh, uh," Ivan licks his chapped lips. Oh lord. Till is wearing a loose t-shirt that shows his collarbones and all that previous alcohol is not helping his situation, "Hey, what are you doing here?" Ivan attempts to salvage what little charm he has left after this night as he makes a toothy smile.

Till only cackles at this, "Hey to you to, and I am here to see you, y'know that right?" Till has that cheeky look in his eye, like he is about to do something rebellious. Ivan always loved that look on him. He found it irresistible. Wait, what did he say?

"Wait, what?" Ivan finally, completely sobers up as he lifts himself up off the counter that he was sure he was drooling on, and good God does he kind of wish he wasn't such a mess right now.

"Yeah, you kind of just dipped on our date after you made that joke. You do know I was laughing at it because it was funny, not demeaning, right?" He seems to make an expression that says, You do understand, right? And goodness does he understand now.

"Yeah, mhm," Ivan immediately straightens up because that is exactly what he thought, "You wanna sit down?" Ivan says, hoping to everything that is holy that his desperation isn't showing.

Till doesn't even respond he simply sits right next to him on one of the precariously leaning stools and orders some sort of fruity, non-alcoholic drink before turning back to him.

"Soo..." Ivan begins, realizing how awkward it is as Till waits for the bartender to make his drink, "What?" Till asks, "Unless we are continuing that conversation about the incident, which, by all means continue," Till laughs. It's very melodic, almost harmonious as Ivan can swear he sees stars.

Yeah not the time to be in lala land.

"Well, to begin," He tries to smooth out his ever wrinkling white button up as he tries to come up with some witty comeback, "Are you sure that all that caused you to hit the guy with a guitar was him trying to sing during Karaoke?" Ivan seems to relax a little bit into the conversation, unconsciously leaning his bodyweight towards the boy, "I seriously think that was just a little bit overkill," Ivan giggles.

"Well, it was in the heat of the moment!" Till puffs, "I was singing and suddenly he was interrupting me so I hit him with my guitar." Till grins.

Oh lord, Ivan is so wasted he can barely keep up with the conversation and is trying his hardest not to focus on Till's lips. This isn't good.

"Well, uh," Ivan can feel himself licking his lips, he realizes how chapped they are and wishes he bought some chapstick before this.

"Well?" Till nudges Ivan with his shoulder and Ivan swears he spirals for a hot second. Were Till's lips always so soft looking?

Ivan audibly gulps as Till snorts, "I guess the alcohol is too in your system? I've never seen you so loose?" Ivan can only nod, not trusting his mouth to not try and connect with Till's.

Suddenly he feels a pair of hands around his waist hoist him up out of the chair. It's Till.

"We're gonna get you home, okay?" Till innocently says and Ivan feels like exploding on the spot to hide his visible embarrassment.

"Okay." Is all Ivan can say as Till, much stronger than he looks, practically carries Ivan out of the bar.

The cold, crisp air of the city is one to marvel at since it's usually so humid at night that you start sweating when you leave. This particular bar is a little hidden, but nonetheless gorgeous with all the neon lights around.

Ivan droops his head onto Till's shoulder as the boy seems busy finding them a cab. He recognizes that he and Till are settled down into a car just a few moments after, but all Ivan really focuses on is being able to hold Till. It seemed after Till finally got his big gig for some band as their guitarist, they never got to hang out anymore, and then when the date spontaneously happened, it was fumbled immediately. But goodness, did he just miss Till's affection and comfort the most. The boy's loud and exciting nature always comforted Ivan. Perhaps it was because he was nothing like that, perhaps it was because he always wanted to be like that. Who knows.

He recognizes that Till asks him where his apartment is as he lazily— and very slowly— says the address. Hoping to stay with Till even just a little bit longer.

Ivan wraps his hands around Till's neck is his half-asleep stupor as he nuzzles his head closer in the crook of Till's neck. He feels two hands hug him around the back as Till's head settles onto his own, and finally Ivan felt like the date went well, even if he dipped an hour into it because he embarrassed himself. It went well.

And yeah, he could get used to this. Very used to this.
