RomaJuliette plot that gets increasingly darker? How? 👀
It was going to be your typical old HS AU but, in my effort to stay true to canon, I thought, "Huh. What could be a proxy for the insect madness that occurred during TVD and OVE?"
My first thought was recreational drugs. A dangerous drug sweeping throughout the market, mostly popular with high school students as it calms people's nerves, numbs their pain, etc.
But the drugs are extremely dangerous— leading to several deaths within the student body.
Lord Cai and Lord Montagov are the heads of separate political parties, and are constantly butting heads. Since the school is filled with the kids of powerful people— who are dropping like flies, they are incentivized to catch the supplier and dealer of this drug.
That's most of what I have till now— certain things are prolly gonna change when I do more research into drugs and how political parties gain power— like, the two main themes in the story.
Anyway, this train of thought came disturbingly soon after I thought "hehe if RomaJuliette were in a HS AU they would be like rivals to lovers"

I’m blaming this ALL on my two cousins who were rooting for Australia to spite my family (they got yelled at yesterday). Fucking traitors
Kill those cousins of yours. Sacrifice them. It's all their FUCKING fault

Twilight finally steps into Loid Forger's home. It was late at night and he thought for sure that everybody was already asleep, save for Bond who might get overzealous and wake everyone up. But the moment he closes the door, a figure appeared through his vision.
It was Yor, putting away laundry. She put them down and walked over to Loid.
"Loid! You're finally back!" She says in quiet surprise. Bond circled around them.
Loid pat Bond's head who then went back to his spot right away. Then he turned to Yor.
"I'm home. Sorry, I'm very late... I must have made you worried."
"Uhm... No! It's okay... You must have been very busy at work. " Yor asked.
"Well..." Loid's voice trailed off.
If only she knows what this man just went through.
"Yes... I had a very tough patient I had to deal with." He finally said.
Yor's eyes went wide.
"Did you have another concussive session with a patient?! Did you get hurt anywhere?! Oh, look! You have bruises! Let's treat you! Sorry, I didn't notice right away. It's dim." Yor stared at him with obviously worried eyes.
Loid couldn't stare back at her, feeling that he might end up letting his guard down.
"N-No! There's no need for that. My bruises are not that bad. I'm just... really tired with dealing with my patient today."
"Do you want some tea before you rest?"
Loid was very ready to retire to bed and sleep away the pain of his arm's gunshot wound. But chances of peace with Yor are ever so rare that he willed himself to stay.
"Ah... Sure."
"Okay. I'll pour you a cup."
Yor seated herself beside Loid on the sofa. The closeness made Loid all tingly but in a very comforting way. For the most of time, they were silent. Then Yor gave repeated glances at Loid.
"Is there something bothering you, Yor?"
"A-Wha-What? Sorry! It's just..." Yor emptied her cup and placed it on the table before continuing.
"Seeing that you can get hurt like this for treating a patient... Are you still okay with it?"
Loid seemed to be caught off guard, he only stared right back at Yor.
"Don't you regret being a psychiatrist?"
The silenced prolonged. The question gave a deep impression to Loid, to Twilight. As if asking if he regrets being a spy.
"Sorry! That was rude of me to ask! I'm not even the one to speak. I'm really sorry! You don't need to answer that, Loid."
Loid also placed his own empty cup on the table. He leaned back and stared up the ceiling.
"No. I don't regret it. Even when I get hurt doing this proffession. Because it's something that I have decided a long time ago. So there's nothing else for me but to stick with it, even during the hard times."
Yor fell silent, her eyes glinting as if understanding Loid's words very well.
Loid closed his eyes and recalled right away what he just said. It was something he just blurted out but it's true. Not only for him, but also for everyone else who decided their own path.
He drew his head back, almost hanging to the side. His mind is in total disarray. His eyes fluttered open in time only to see Yor leaning over him. Too tired and slow to react, his mind suddenly went blank when he felt a kiss on his forehead.
"You did well." Yor said and sat back.
Her calm demeanor quickly turned into surprise, and she covered her face with her hands.
Loid fixed himself in an instant, sitting properly. He faced a very embarrassed Yor. Internally, he was just as embarrassed because of their proximity just now.
"N-No! It's not what you think it is! I just..." Yor said and waved her hands.
"C-Calm down, Yor! Speak slowly." Loid said with a similarly frantic gesture.
After a few breaths, Yor continued.
"My coworkers told me that... a... w-welcome home kiss is a common thing between couples. B-But I couldn't do it earlier and you're too tired from work so I... just wanted to comfort you instead." She said and shyly looked at Loid.
Loid took a deep breath.
"Thank you, Yor. And I'm sorry." He said.
"What? You have nothing to apologize! I'm... the one who should say sorry."
"I'm sorry because I..."
His words trailed off once more as his body started moving on its own. It was as if his arm was no longer in pain and reached out for Yor's face. In an instant, Loid closed off the distance and pulled Yor into a kiss.
It was a kiss that was warmer than the tea they just had. Loid closes his eyes and thoroughly felt Yor's lips, his hand gently holding the base of her head. Yor was wide-eyed for a second before she let herself be pulled in deeper. To her, this first kiss doesn't taste like lemon. It was the sweetest thing there ever was.
All thought is lost, only this moment remains. And perhaps, it's just what Loid really needed as a reward after a hard day's work.
