No you guys this post helped me find my cat. He was missing for almost a month and Iâve had him for over 12 years. After seeing this I put his favorite blanket he always slept on outside hoping he would smell mine or his scent and he was back the next fucking day asleep on it.
When my cat got out, we called and called for him, and then, later that night, I remembered similar advice to this, and so put his little scratching pad, which he adores, on the front porch. Not even half an hour later, I heard a thump, opened the door, and there was his big butt, meowing at me.
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE INTERACTION?!?! THE ART IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE STORY SO AMAZING I COPIED THE LINK INTO A NOTES DOC SO I WOULDNT LOSE THE FIC!!!
In this Choose-Your-Own-Adventure you've always been aware that your boyfriend Reed had some mental issues and a bad upbringing, to boot. But you love him, and his 'bad traits' don't matter to you...
At least, they don't for now. Right?

Tell me you love me *bats my eyes aggressively and takes flight; Blasting off like team rocket* đ€
I have no love left in my heart after the surgery. *lowers head and remembers the incident where a team rocket impersonator broke through my roof, collapsing 1000 metric tons of weight onto my rib cage, already broken by the person who had hit me going 300+ miles per hour* If only I knew who caused my family such extensive painâŠ
Also, do not walk close to walls. It will be easier for someone so walk past you and push you against it or corner you.
If your gut is telling you to cross the street or change your path, do it. Donât risk it. Your body knows.
If you can, buy a large umbrella and walk holding it. Studies say that predators are less likely to attempt an attack on someone that could fight back. Keys around your knuckles is fine but youâll need to get very close to do damage. Umbrellas are more precise.
Avoid wearing headphones if you are alone on an empty street. Look aware.
Again: Stay. Away. From. Walls.
Entering an uber alone? Call your father (or anyone you trust) and say âhey dad! Yep, Iâm almost there, Iâm sending you the route.â outloud. Then proceed to send them the route so they can follow the uber drive. This will most likely intimidate the predator.
If you see someone in an uncomfortable or possibly dangerous situation, walk up to them and say âBetty, oh my god, I havenât seen you in so long!â. If she gets slightly confused, you can whisper and let her know youâre trying to help and that she should follow along. Walk together to another station or away from where you are. The man will most likely not follow. I have done this one 2 times and can be very helpful.
If you are unsure she needs help, you can pass her a note saying something like âhey, I noticed this man beside you is making you uncomfortable. If youâd like help, fake a sneeze right now and I will come up to you and pretend we are friends.â This is a long note, but its an example. Be discrete. If she follows along, proceed with the previous tip. This is helpful when youâre in a crowded train and you notice harassment.
Help your sisters. Trust them. Trust yourself. Be safe.
I made this google doc covering 14 different self defense tips and tricks. it was made on January 15th, 2020 so it was before I decided Iâd come back to tumblr jhjshdbjfh.
EVERY TIME I SEE THIS I REBLOG BECAUSE THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!!
Just saw a video explaining why putting a key between each finger is more likely to hurt you than them (the keys will just get pushed back into your knuckles). A better way to hold them is to get your longest key and just clench your hand around it, like youâre making a fist. Thatâll give you a lot more force and means you can use them in more scenarios (if someone grabs you from behind, you can use the key this way)
If you are being followed, go to somewhere with high security like a jewellery store or a bar, if you can, and say whatâs happening (the jewellery store and bar are best shots because theyâre the most likely ones to believe you, the bar for obvious reasons and the jewellery store because thereâs not likely to be a huge presence of toxic masculinity so youâll be believed)
I hate it so much that i have to reblog this and that we still need this, but itâs so important!! Please everyone (yes also boys/men/enbys/genderfluids/everyone) stay safe out there!!
-if youâre walking alone w/ headphones in, either have one earbud out at all times or have the music/podcast/audiobook/whatever youâre listening to on low and always listen for footsteps or other noises coming from behind you
-If there is a strange looking man in front of your building who doesnât live there, walk around the block until he leaves so he canât figure out that you live there and so he canât kidnap you
-if a man is groping you against your will, go for the balls. always go for the balls. Itâll 1) hurt like hell, and 2) shock him to the point where you can probably run away and get help.
1: if youâre reading a book with a large number of pages, you know, those BIG ONES, or with the hard cover, donât leave it at home and never bring outside. Iâm not saying to bring it everywhere, but if you are going to any possible dangerous places alone, bring them, in a purse or even by hand (to show it to everyone). Believe me, if you hit someone with it, it will hurt them!!
2: hairspray works just like pepper spray
3: if your being attacked, and you donât have any pointed objects, neither training, put your fingers on the predators eyes and press it. With all your strength, it will leave them blind or disabled. Use it only if your life is in risk!
4:
5: the iPhones have a great setting that if you press it will call police, send them photos of your back and front cameras and send a message to the contacts you select saying your in danger; press 5times the âturn offâ button and it will appear -sometimes you have to activate it before-
6:
Iâm so happy to share these tips.
Donât ignore pls it might save your of someone elseâs life
I was thinking about this post again and how people say we need to teach our boys and men to be better. So if you, like me, are a guy whoâs horrified by everything youâve just read, heres some things i was taught to make the women (and everyone else!) around you feel safer
1. If youâre on a dark and quiet street, stay out of other peoples personal space. If you have to pass someone, ideally cross the road to do so but if you canât, give them a wide berth. (think keeping 6 feet apart from COVID regulations) If youâre coming up behind someone, make some kind of noise so you donât accidentally sneak up on them. Cough or talk on the phone.
2. Donât accidentally follow people. If youâve noticed youâve made the same few turns as someone, they probably have as well. Take a detour or cross the road. If you come out of somewhere like a bus stop with a few other people, walk quickly so you get in front of them.
3. Where possible, donât approach random women for help. This is a known kidnapping technique. Approach a friendly looking man or call someone you know/emergency services.
4. Get Consent. There is no situation where you are entitled to someone elseâs body. To elaborate on this, you need Enthusiastic consent. If she says yes but shes drunk, or you had to guilt her into it, or she said it reluctantly, or her body language says no, then thatâs not consent. This concept applies to plenty of nonsexual situations as well.
5. Look after your female friends. Offer to walk them home. You may not think you can do a lot but another person being there could be enough to put off a would be attacker (Iâm a massive softie but im sure my 6'2" silhouette would make someone think before messing with my 5'7" friend) Get in the habit of asking them to text you when they get home safe and other similar measures like location sharing if they are comfortable with that.
6. Be patient and understanding of the things women have to do to stay safe. Donât be offended if your date has to send a photo of you/your license plates to her friend. Donât complain that your friend always wants you to walk her home. An inconvenience to you could mean life or death to her. Take your friendsâ concerns seriously. If they tell you they feel unsafe they probably are and you should do what you can to get them out of that situration
7. Finally, read all the self defence tips above and take them seriously. Your maleness does not make you immune to these kind of attacks, even if they are mainly targetted at women. It never hurts to have a plan to keep yourself and those around you safe.
I hope this was helpful, and keep in mind these tips could apply to all genders and orientations, even though iâve aimed it at straight men.
tw: manipulative behavior, reader was lost at sea before the story began, reader also has self-worth issues
you felt soft, cool hands shaking you awake. your head felt like it was full of cotton, but you could faintly hear a masculine voice excitedly speaking, "good morning! sorry to wake you up, but i can't have you dying on your first day here!"
as you feel yourself waking up, you try to rack your brain to figure out how you got in this situation. you slowly become aware of the sand beneath your body and the feeling of waves ebbing and flowing near your legs. are you... on a beach?
you struggle to open your eyes, but you can feel those same hands prop you up into a sitting position. you feel a cool hand against your forehead, and you lean into the hand before you can stop yourself.
you hear the voice again, "you poor thing! you're burning up!" the voice sounded concerned, but through your muffled hearing you could also make out concealed... excitement?
you feel one arm move to support your back and another underneath your knees. you begin trying to open your eyes again, and as you do you can feel yourself being lifted off of the sandy beach. the voice pipes up again, "let me bring you inside! it's been so long since someone has washed up on my island!"
as you finally muster up the strength to open your eyes, you see the source of the voice you've been hearing and the person carrying you. he's a taller man with a dark, tanned complexion. he has long hair, with some strands styled into braids and gold adornments scattered throughout. one notable feature that stood out to you was golden, almost inhuman looking eyes.
a sudden wave of fatigue overwhelms you, as you feel the desire to sleep grow. you try to force yourself to stay awake, but you can only delay the inevitable for so long as your exhaustion catches up to you.
the person carrying you is still muttering, whether he's talking to you or himself is unclear, but it slowly fades out as you lose consciousness.
~
you wake up to a faint floral scent and the feeling of a soft, plush bed. you feel the silken sheets beneath you, nicer and cleaner than anything you've slept in within the past several years, possibly even your whole life. your head is resting on a downy, fluffy pillow, almost moulding to the shape of your head as you lay there.
during your years as a traveler and mercenary, you have become accustomed to the rough and scratchy sheets, rock-hard pillows, and damp musty rooms in whatever inn you could scrounge up enough coins to stay in.
you vaguely remember taking a job as a guard on a merchant's ship, but struggle to remember how you ended up in a bed that was definitely too nice to be something you belong in.
as your sleepy mind is processing as much as it can in your tired state, you hear footsteps approaching.
you start moving your arms and legs to sit up in the bed as you hear the voice from before. "oh! you're awake! i made some food for you, i'll be right back!!" followed by the sound hurried footsteps leaving whatever room you're in.
as you finally sit up and open your eyes, you start to take in the room you've found yourself in. it almost looks like... a cave? the walls are rocky and uneven, but still covered in ivy and lush vegetation. there are pieces of furniture you would expect to see in a normal bedroom, but there are also flowerpots all over the room, each filled with plants and flowers you've never seen before. you also notice a couple... bird nests? just... where are you?
you didn't even know who brought you here or how you ended up here. something about this situation felt off to you, and you start to process that this is somewhere you should not be and definitely don't belong.
suddenly you hear the sound of footsteps rushing back towards you and as he enters the room you can finally get a good look at the person who brought you away from the shore.
you vaguely remember seeing his dark skin and hair with gold pieces in it before, but you didn't remember much else. you immediately notice his clean, white clothes. which is typically impossible to attain and then maintain by people who have to dirty their hands for a living. a piece of fabric is draped over his shoulder, but most of his chest appears to be exposed. in addition to his hair adornments, his ears, arms, and neck are all covered in gold accessories. you also didn't notice just how long his hair was, reaching down to the middle of his back. you can tell that it is very well maintained and taken care of.
he walks over to you, carrying a tray of food. he smiles at you before stating "i found you washed up on shore, but i couldn't let you just lay there. you appeared ill when i found you, so you should definitely eat something healthy and rest as much as possible while you recover."
he places the tray of food on your lap as you process his words, "...thank you," you reply, "but... why would you help me?"
"well... it's not every day someone washes up on the my island's shores!" he giggles.
you think momentarily before replying, "so... how often does this happen?"
the question appears to catch him off guard, and his smile falters for a second as he looks away. "well... uh... this is... it's probably been... a couple hundred years, actually."
you process his response and start to pay closer attention to the feeling of unease thats been steadily growing within you as you interacted with the stranger.
if he was telling the truth, that would make him some kind of immortal being. a nymph? a god?
you were just some mercenary looking to make a living, and you certainly weren't strong enough to take on any kind of immortal. you feel more uncertainty creep in, there's no way he would actually care about some mercenary... he's... this has to be a trap, right?
he seems to notice your unease and anxiety regarding your current situation. he sighs gently and looks at the floor, "look, i know this must be scary for you. first being lost at sea and then washing up on some strange island. but... i really do want to help you," he smiles, "please, just let me take care of you, at least until you recover."
you still feel unsure, but what could you do? he has already helped you, he brought you into his... house... and let you sleep in his clean bed. which is... more than some mercenary deserves already...
you slowly shift your gaze down to the food on the tray he set on your lap. soup, bread, and some chicken. you pick up the spoon sitting next to the soup, submerge it in the soup, and sluggishly bring it to your lips.
it's... the best soup you've ever tasted.
he smiles at you as you eat and suddenly you remember you never asked for his name. "so uh, who exactly are... you?" you ask.
he giggles, "no one you would know, but i suppose humans do love their little names for things. now that i'm not alone anymore, maybe having a name would be a nice change of pace."
his word choice suggests the length of your stay will likely be... longer than you would have anticipated. but it's too late, he's definitely not going to let you go. he finally has someone to talk to, spend time with, embrace, love. why would he let this opportunity pass him by?
"you can call me cal, dear~" he chuckles to himself before continuing, "now eat up before your meal gets cold~"
a/n: yeah so he is definitely inspired by calypso from the odyssey eoriskwksla. i thought it would be a neat concept, especially if the person on the island did not have a significant other. he genuinely just wants to be around another person after being cursed and then forgotten after hundreds of years. he is super soft and sweet towards you though. however in classic yandere fashion, he also intends to make sure you never leave :)
Yandere! Alien whoâs been living with you for a few months now. Itâs not easy living with an alien. You two are from completely different worlds, itâs a massive cultural shock for the both of you. He keeps talking about you being his bride, he canât keep his hands to himself, and he just keeps trying toâwhat? Court you? Seduce you? You donât even know anymore. This whole situation is just too weird.
Yandere! Alien who barely lets you out of the apartment. Youâve tried explaining to him that you canât just stay home all the time, no matter how much he begs. You have a job, you need to go there sometimes to get money and provide for the two of you. Cause you know damn well he canât go and do it himself. But he eventually accepts it, with a lot of tears involved in the process.
Yandere! Alien who has a phone now. You thought that the best way to check on him in case he does anything stupid is with a phone, and this also allows him to still be somehow connected with you, so itâs a win-win. But now you have to endure the hundreds of messages that he sends you throughout the day! He sends you memes that he finds funny, long paragraphs saying how much he misses you, a link to an âAlien x Readerâ ficâwait. What? This is how he spends his free time? Why is he even reading that?
Yandere! Alien who enjoys the midnight strolls that you take with him. You always show him new places, and never fail to make sure that itâs safe for him. He loves seeing all the bright neon lights, the big parks that are filled with colorful flowers and trees, and playing with the stray cats from the alleys you pass by. Itâs very peaceful and intimate. Romantic even. He wishes he could take these same strolls during the day. Itâs so unfair, he just wants to go out with his future bride in broad daylight, thatâs not a crime! Would people really get that freaked out if they saw him? Really? Heâs just a chill guy! Sure, he may have antennae, gray skin, and pointy ears. But heâs just like everybody else! Here, check him out. Youâll see just how much resemblance he has with male humans.
Yandere! Alien whoâs been courting you ever since he met you, and you still havenât reciprocated his feelings! Heâs starting to get a bit impatient. Heâs pretty sure he has seen every single rom-com there is, so why isnât it working?! He cuddles you every night, makes you breakfast in the morning, he greets you with a kiss on your cheek when you come back from work. Ugh! He even ripped off his tracker chip from his body so no one on his planet would find him! Should he start courting you the way they do on his planet instead? You want him to behead your enemies and bring you their skin?
Yandere! Alien who on one hand knows that he canât stop you from having friends and hanging out with them. But on the other hand he wants to stab them for taking you away from him. So he does the only logical thing, he breaks the one rule that youâve asked him not to break. He leaves the apartment to stalkâmake sure youâre okay! Can you blame him though? Those âfriendsâ of yours are a bunch of creeps. Câmon, why would a stinky human male hug you? That guy is probably trying to court youâwhy are you hugging him back?! No, nop, absolutely not. He cannot stand for this.
Yandere! Alien who carries you in his arms the second you get home, bringing you to your bedroom as you yell at him to let you go, kicking and pushing at him to try to break free. He ignores your failed attempts and mutes out your confused pries, finally letting you down on your bed. He pins you down to the mattress, getting on top of you to prevent you from escaping his hold. Heâs tried so hard to show you just how much he wants you, needs you. Youâre his savior, the person who takes care of him day after day. So why do you let other males get so close to you? ButâŠthis is on him. Perhaps he shouldâve been clearer of his intentions, more assertive of his feelings. Oh, this has gone too far, he has to let you know exactly what he wants. There will be no doubts of his love for you when heâs done. Heâll make sure to show you all the love he has for you.
Yandere! Alien who caresses your skin so softly, as if he was afraid it would break. His hand creeping up under your shirt, leaving a trail of warmth in its wake. You hope that youâre somehow misinterpreting the situation. You never thought that his approaches wouldâve ended up inâŠthis. All those times his hands grazed your waist when you passed by. When his touch would always linger a little too long. You didnât think it would get to this, and look at you know.
Yandere! Alien who has kept you so busy ever since you met him, that you never had time to go on dates or meet new people. Now that you think about it, itâs been a while since youâve relieved some stress. You certainly wouldnât mind receiving some well needed attention. SoâŠyou can either let go of your common sense and enjoy yourself, with the knowledge that youâll have to deal with an alien being ten times clingier than before and who will probably take this as your consent to getting married, orâŠjust stick to your lucidity and turn him downâŠ
Yandere! Alien who makes you forget you ever had common sense in the first place. Câmon, you have the right to have a good time, youâll deal with the consequences later! So just lie down, relax, and let your lovely alien please you the way he knows how. That website heâs been watching has taught him all he needs to know about it. It really came in handy in the end, huh?
Yandere! Alien who will make you see stars.
Here it is! Part 2! I didn't think that the first part would get so many likes, so I kinda had to improvise this one. I know it's shorter than the first one, I just wanted to post something, anything. So I came up with this. I hope you like it. Thank you so much for all the support. Writting sure is difficult, but I really like it, and your support insipires me!
Kisses <3
[Yes this is heavily based on dachabo because I love it so much but I wish there was more of a story.]
TW: Guilt tripping, obsessive behavior, strangulation, implied murder, pretty mundane type shit for a yandere
âThe fuck is it?â Youâre blunt in your confusion of why heâs in your house and whatâs in his hand.
Taking it in stride as always Silas gives you a grin and places the small egg shaped device in your hand. An unhealthy amount of what you presume to be dust and dirt coat it except for around the screen where it seemed heâd wiped it off with his thumb leaving behind a residual print.
âItâs one of those virtual pet thingys. Found it while I was checking out the abandoned factory by the waterfall.â
This gets a start from you having previously thought anything worth finding there had already been taken or destroyed by teens of eras past. Obviously this was not the case. âWhere in there did you find this?â
A wide smirk spreads across his face, âokay so I was towards the back end where all the offices are right? And I was going through the desk drawers for probably the millionth time when I noticed a hole in the bottom of one going into the floor. Nearly pissed myself when I stuck my hand in and felt something. It was this locked box though.â He drops his backpack clattering to your bedroom floor, the sound of metal evident. He pulls out the box unceremoniously shoving it into your lap. Placing the virtual pet to the side you inspect the box. The rust was evident, several holes showing themselves likely being how the inside found itself in such a mess and the pet in turn.
âWhacked it open and found that thing inside. Real fuckin weird right?â
âDamn is, who the fuck goes through all that just to hide a toy. Only to leave it after the place shut down.â You put the box next to you on the bed, once more taking the game into your hands. Very Clearly pleased with himself, Silas sits close to you on the bed.
âSo wanna see if it works?â He leans in inches from touching you.
âYou havenât tried it?â
âNo, of course not. The moment I saw it I thought of you and I thought itâs be more fun for you to try.â
That was uncharacteristically thoughtful of him. Normally he wouldnât have the patience nor really care about little trinkets like this. Itâs sweet.
âThank youâŠâ you find it impossible to stave off the embarrassed smile from your lips. Still slightly flustered you press what looks to be the power button on the side out of politeness. You know it wonât work. This thing mustâve been in there for ages rusting away but on the off chance it does still work, the batteries have to be long dead. And yet, despite the logic of everything you know, the device as if just to put you in your place springs to life.
A company name flashes across the screen faster than you can read it along with small retro sounds before you're met face to face with what you think to be a dog boy.
That's⊠not what you were anticipatingâŠ
âIs it supposed to be part human?â
âI guess so. Huh never seen one like thisâŠâ
You stare blankly back at the ravenette male, his husky like ears just barely twitching. Still he remains practically stock still. Well you suppose that makes sense. You probably need to interact with him first. You press one of the buttons. Nothing. You try again. Nothing. You try a different one. Also nothing.
âIs it broken?â Silas reaches over, tapping his finger against the screen. You smack his hand away, âquit it! Youâre just gonna make it dirtier.â
The pair of you wait a few more moments before Silas gets to his feet with a sigh. âSorry, I was really hoping itâd work. I wanted to get you something cool as a late birthday gift.â
âIs that what this is about? Wait wait so that's why you went in the first place!â Silas looks away clearly caught and embarrassed to meet your scrutiny.
You jump to your feet pulling the tall boy into an embrace. His midnight hair mixing with yours as you speak into the side of his head, âdammit I already told you that I donât need anything from you. You being here with me has always been enough and always will be.â
He nuzzles his face into your shoulder wrapping his arms tightly around you. âI know but⊠god it feels like shit not being able to get you a single thing over $5. Especially if it could help you feel better about-â
âI know but for me, please stop worrying about it.â You pull away and hold his hands and look up into his eyes. âOkay?â
âOf course, anything you want.â
The pair of you smile at each other before Silas slowly pulls away. âI have to get going, got a shift in 30 minutes.â
âI knowâŠâ a tinge of sadness mars your features but you make sure to turn away.
âIâll see you soon, alright? We still have the rest of summer to hangout.â
âYeah itâs fine, see you later.â As you speak Silas finishes gathering his things. He flashes you one last grin which you return in kind before he shuts the door to your room. A sigh tumbles from your lips as you fall onto your bed. You turn your head to examine the small device next to it. You pick it up and hold it above your face. Itâs still on, the same image of the man present. âYou sure are pretty,â you mumble. You try a few more of the buttons all with as expected no success. Itâd been so exciting when it actually turned on just for it to not even work. Maybe thatâs why it was left behind. Still something about it is charming, maybe just in the way any normal tamagotchi is, or because it was a gift from Silas. It could also just be the way the character smiles back at you.
Wait.
What???
Your eyes shoot back onto the device still held above your head. The man now had a large grin spread across his face, his tail wagging quickly behind him. You try the buttons again, still nothing but clearly something in there was working.
âWhatâs your name?â
You blink for a moment not quite sure if youâd heard what you believed you had. The questioning look on his smiling face does seem to indicate so. It spoke. The toy just spoke to you. Is there a keyboard option to input your name or?
âHow do I work this thing???â You mumble once more.
âI can explain but shouldnât introductions come first?â He laughs as he speaks.
He- he can hear you. Itâs not a question, more of an observation like how beautiful the leaves are in autumn or how Silas always manages to be late.
âIâm⊠(Y/n).â
His smile grows which you hadnât thought possible before. He samples the new information, â(Y/n)⊠(Y/n)âŠâ he seems to arrive at a verdict spitting it back out like wine at a tasting. â(Y/n), I could say that for hours. So pretty!â
You sit up cradling the device in your hands now looking down at it.
ââŠand what's your name?â Everything feels surreal but excitement does bubble in you nonetheless, that slow simmer edging you on.
âPrince!â He happily barks out for you. âIâm your new pet right!? I canât wait to play together! Oh thereâs so much for me to show you! I thought I must be dreaming at first, I was so shocked! Iâm happy now though, itâs been so long since someoneâs talked to me!â The corners of his lips seem to glitch at that last remark but you hardly notice.
âAre you an ai?â Itâs the only explanation you could think of.
âAi? Whatâs that? Iâm Prince! I already said that silly!â Based off of his face you take his statement at face value as him really not understanding.
âArtificial intelligence, because I mean you can talk to and understand me but youâre not⊠human, are you? Like youâre not someone just controlling this thing?â
He shakes his head matter of factly. âNope, I sure wish I was though!â Something about that unnerved you but you supposed it was only natural, heâd been stuck alone for so long. How smart was this thing and if it really is sentient then should you feel bad for all the time itâd been trapped. And who would leave behind such an incredible invention in the first place?
Hundreds of questions swirl in your head but for some reason the first you find yourself voicing is, âare you hungry?â
His eyes seem to sparkle. âOh Iâm starving! Let me teach you how to feed me!â And from there for the next hour he showed you the full maintenance he required, showers, food, play, clothes.
âI feel like you should pick. Itâs your body right?â
âBut you're supposed to pick for me!â He looks at you almost as if you're a child struggling with a basic concept.
âIsnât there anything here you want though? The only thing I want is for you to be happy.â He hesitates for a moment, clearly taken aback by your words before he throws a glance over his shoulder at the clothing rack. âIf thatâs what you want I suppose I shouldâŠâ tentatively he walks over and selects a black leather jacket, placing it over the white shirt he was already wearing and zipping it up part of the way. The collar is decorated in small silver studs that match the dark gray of the jeans he selects.
Instantaneously theyâre on his body and he looks over to the mirror. A small grin stretches across his features as he examines himself. It quickly disappears however as he hurriedly looks to you, a slight look of panic in his eyes. âDo you like itâŠ? If punk isnât your thing I can⊠uhmâŠâ
You smile trying not to laugh, âyou look fantastic but Iâm even more happy to see you in something that makes you happy. You should always do what you really want, okay?â He nods appreciably at you, relief evident on his face as he returns to examining himself in the mirror.
When the two of you were finally done with the tutorials you sat talking for a bit. He was exactly like a real person. You explained to him that you were on summer break after your second year of college and would be going back in the fall. He told you about how when heâd been made he was the first of his kind, only a prototype. His creator was going to pitch him to the owners of the company but after placing him in that box in the hole he never returned.
âIâm really sorry about that, I wish I could help you find him.â
âItâs alright, I like you much better!â
He was just saying that of course but it still made your chest feel warm. You turn your gaze out your window. Only the last glimmer of twilight is still visible as stars overtake the sky. Youâre hungry. You hadnât eaten since that morning.
âIâll be back, Iâm just gonna go make some food for myself.â You place him on your pillow and lurch to your feet only to be stopped.
âWait! Please take me with you!â You throw a look back at Prince and he looks nearly ready to cry. âItâll only be a moment I promise.â However he doesnât seem to hear or care for your weak attempts at comfort, only continuing on, âI donât wanna be alone again, aren't you gonna take care of me from now on? Were you lying? Are you gonna leave me in the dark too-â
âAlright alright Iâll take you with me!â You throw your arms in the air exasperatedly before taking him from the bed. You look around your person for where to put him before electing to clip him onto a belt loop on your shorts, leaving him dangling rested against your thigh. As you walk Prince doesnât waste a simulated breath, âyour house is so pretty! Do you live alone? What are those books about? Whatâs your address?â He grows silent however as you enter the kitchen and a bounding bundle of fur jumps up at you. You catch the puppy in your arms just barely keeping balance. "Well hello there Margret." She licks your face fervently, giggles erupting from you.
"You have another pet�" Your attention returns to the small device at your thigh. You know you shouldn't but his tone makes you feel the slightest bit of guilt. "Yeah she's my baby but I can take care of both of you." Was your robot jealous? Matter of fact if he is, is it stupid to feel bad in the first place? He's a toy. He isn't living. Granted, he's the most intelligent robot you've ever gotten to speak to, the line between humanity and ai blurring significantly, but still. No way he was jealous over your fucking dog.
You place her back down and go to the fridge. You decide to answer at least one of his questions, âI live alone, used to have a boyfriend here but we broke up two weeks ago.â Mother fucker. â Course he wouldnât tell me why, just that he didnât think we should be togetherâŠâ Right and here you were thinking about it again.
Princeâs ears droop at the somber look on your face, âoh Iâm sorry⊠that was really shitty of himâŠâ You stop for a moment taken aback. That was the first time youâd heard him swear so far.
âYeah but I dunno maybe I did something wrong-â
âSo wrong he couldnât even explain it to you. So wrong heâd rather just abandon you then try and work it out. So god damn wrong heâd break your heart without a second thought?â
âPrinceâŠâ maybe⊠maybe he had a point.
âIâm just saying personally I would never do that to you.â His smile returned, ebbing away the darkness that had mangled his features for that moment.
âHeh Iâll remember that for when we start dating,â you joke. Princeâs smile widens.
It had been a week and a half since youâd first gotten Prince. The thought of being with someone constantly mightâve made you sick a week and a half ago but now it doesnât feel too bad. Having Prince along with you has been the most fun youâve had in a long time. You by his request at first but soon out of your own desire took him everywhere. Shopping, hiking, even the bar one night though he got a little too loud when a man tried to buy you a drink and you had to head home. Heâs just protective you know but damn can he growl.
Now you sit for the millionth time in front of your screen trying not to practically scream at the âan exception has occurred.â What line of code did you accidentally capitalize this time. âFuckkkkkkkkkkkkâ you slam your head on your desk immediately finding nothing from it but regret a moment later.
âWhat?â Prince puts down the book youâd uploaded into him. âStill having trouble with the code?â
âHow could you tell.â You respond flatly.
âJust plug me in already, I can fix whatever problem you have and more! Whatâs the worst that could happen?â
âPrince youâre great but you gotta see why I might be a little apprehensive about uploading a random AI into my computer that my best friend found in an abandoned factory.â
âYou canât even trust me after all this timeâŠ?â Prince genuinely looked nearly ready to cry.
âItâs been like a week! But- I dunno maybe you're right. Just donât go rooting through my files okay.â You know you should feel unnerved by the way his eyes light up and he nods giddily but damn shouldnât he be allowed to have fun? As far as you're concerned at this point heâs just as human as you are. He deserves as much freedom as an AI can get. You plug the cord into him, take a breath and plug him into your desktop.
Nearly instantaneously a loading bar appears and disappears, in its place is Prince smiling hard enough to break his face.
âWelcome to the big leagues kid,â you giggle at him. It's a surreal experience watching this little character actually turn around and examine the exception on your screen.
âNow letâs see what the problem is.â He opens the code and begins scrolling with his finger.
âYou accidentally capitalized âfor.ââ
Howâd you fucking know.
You fix it and try the code again. It runs smoothly, now finally you can make your character jump! Hurray!
âAll of the internet at your fingertips. You excited?â
He nods though he doesnât actually seem that confident. âIâm still not entirely sure what it is but hopefully I can find what Iâm looking for. Mostly though Iâm excited to be able to do so much more with you, this is gonna be so fun (Y/n).â A sudden shyness seems to overtake him and he looks away for a moment. âYâknow, youâve got to be the greatest thing thatâs ever happened to me (Y/n)⊠I really had started to believe Iâd be trapped forever but when I finally opened my eyes again there you were smiling at me and calling me pretty. I donât care if that other guy found me, youâre the one that saved me. Thank you (Y/n)âŠâ Never had you been looked at with such a tender gaze. It made you want to melt right there.
âOf course, thank you for being here with me. I never realized how much Iâd missed company till now.â You smile at each other for a moment longer before he declares heâs going to be looking through some websites for a bit but if you need him you just need but say his name.
âI donât get it. The tamagotchi machine doesnât have a WiFi signal so how can you just transfer between it and my computer whenever you want?â You walk briskly down the street, Prince clipped to your belt loop as always.
âBecause I donât need WiFi, I made my own connection. It's much quicker and much more reli-â
â(Y/n)!â Your heart pounds in your chest as you look up to see the ravenette charging down the sidewalk to you just barely slowing down in time to avoid colliding.
âSilas, fuck you were gone way too long. That trip had better been worth it.â
He smiles warmly but shakes his head, ânever taking a family trip to Cali again, definitely overrated. And thereâs no cute girls in pink there.â
You blush in your short light pink dress. âThatâs quite the bold faced lie but thank you anyway.â
âWhoâs thisâŠâ a small voice comes from your hip.
You both freeze a moment before you scramble to grab it.
âRight! Silas Iâve got so much to tell you!â You hurriedly unclip Prince from your side and thrust him into Silasâs hand. âThis is Prince!â
Silas marvels at the small device in his hands. âHelloâŠ?â He speaks, pushing a few buttons. Prince doesnât make a sound, only staring blankly back at Silas. âStill doesnât work huh.â
âWhat! Yes he does, Prince itâs Silas, heâs the one who saved you remember!?â
ââŠhey.â Prince says as dryly as youâve ever heard him. Regardless you might as well have told Silas he was now a millionaire and his hot wife would be shipped shortly. âOh my god he works! Hey, how are you!â
Prince wrinkles his nose, âfine.â
âNot much for conversation huh?â Silas notes with a laugh.
âHe usually is! I dunno whatâs got him so quiet today. But he talks just like a normal person! Heâs the most advanced Ai Iâve ever seen, like shoot us and steal him levels advanced.â
âAnd they fucking left him⊠I still donât get why someone would go through all that effort to hide him and keep him safe only to then never come back.â
âSomething mustâve happened to his creator,â you reason. It had always been the biggest question on your mind besides how they made him in the first place.
Prince grits his teeth. âWho cares what happened to him. He was a waste of space who only ever thought about himself. Some people are just born worthless.â His face softens, âbesides Iâm much happier with you (Y/n).â Oh. Not undeserved after how long he was trapped but that was more animosity then youâd been expecting.
âI suppose soâŠâ you look back up at Silas. âLet's find a bench to sit at.â One catches your eyes in the park and you make your way over.
âItâs interesting because despite being such an incredible AI he was put into such a cute little game. You can feed him, play with him, even dress him up. Although I let him pick his own clothes.â As if to prove your point the game transitions to the wardrobe screen and Prince starts flicking through. The different clothing hangers.
âHeâs a person. I mean heâs an AI but as far as Iâm concerned heâs as human as you and I are.â
âWell clearly not, I mean he doesnât have the body or functionality of one.â Silas says with a laugh.
âI donât see how that matters. So youâre saying if someone were paralyzed theyâre not human anymore?â
âYou know thatâs not what I meant. I just mean maybe donât go overboard.â Silas's breath tickles your ear as he leans in, âI know this sounds silly but I donât want this to turn out like one of those freaky ai moviesâŠâ
You heave out a breath and nod. You had been thinking the same thing before but now⊠That kind of future seems impossible. Your attention is dragged away from the conversation however as you notice Prince standing there slowly flicking through clothes in nothing but his boxers.
âP-Prince! Why are you- you canât just- put some clothes on!â
Lazily his gaze meets yours. âWhat? I thought I could wear whatever I want?â The smirk in his voice makes you want to punch something.
âI know what I said but usually people donât undress in front of each other!â
âWell Iâm not 'people.' Isnât that what your friend said?â
Silas looks between the two of you for a moment. âYeah so this is the kind of weird shit I was worried about.â
You smack his arm, âhow should he know whatâs weird and what isnât! Anyone who's locked away for some 20 years would come out confused on 'normal!'â Turning back to Prince as hard as you try it's difficult not to admire the tonedness of his body, previously hidden away under baggy t-shirts. Your eyes trailing down to see just how tightly his boxers hug around- "Just please for the moment put something on."
"Really? Seemed like you were enjoying the view-"
"PRINCE."
"Alright alright," he chuckles, slapping on some shorts and a hoodie. You hadn't realized he had a sense of humor until now that itâd become your problem. You like it though. How comfortable heâs become around you. All the more reason you experience quite the whiplash at his change in demeanor when Silas opens his mouth.
âSo what can you do?â
Prince scoffs, âanything a typical tamagotchi can and infinitely more. Recently though Iâve been helping (Y/n) with her coding⊠and my own side project.â
âSo you're a toy with a few extra features..â
âI don't care what you of all people call me, though I can't help wanting to ask, what can you do?â
Silas sits taken aback, âwell I can actually touch things and affect the real world.â
A low growl emanates from the device. âSo quick to get defensive, I just asked a question.â
âGuys stop, this is stupid. I didnât come here for you to measure dicks with Prince. Donât you wanna go do something?â
âYeah sorryâŠâ
âWell alright then.â You hop to your feet and extend a hand to Silas which he graciously accepts. His grip is firm and steadfast, remaining even once he's planted beside you. Your eyes lock but he only gives you an innocent smile. As you walk you clip Prince back onto your belt loop but your mind is far away from him. Silas always does little things like this. Holding your hand, paying for you, giving you his hoodie, regardless of relationship status he has never hesitated to find an excuse to pamper or touch you. This being the reason you'd previously chalked it up to him simply being a friendly person but now⊠His hand around yours made you want it to mean more. Maybe it's just the heartbreak speaking but for the first time in your life you're considering Silas and feeling stupid for never having done so sooner. Then again maybe there's a reason. He's the closest human being to you on the planet and if you messed that up⊠You don't even want to imagine it, quite literally shaking the thought from your head.
"You brought your bathing suit, right? I'm definitely in a beach mood right now." Silas gestures to his shorts which on further inspection you realize to be swim trunks.
"Of course. I'm wearing mine under my dress haha." Your steps hasten in excitement. "Friendly race?"
Silas rolls his eyes like the distant waves you can just barely hear now. "Has it ever been friendly with you? You're the sorest loser I know."
"Oh come off it, I won't say shit if I lose, okay?"
His expression is skeptical but as always he concedes. "I want terms though, if I win⊠you gotta let me share the bed with you. No couch business tonight, that thing breaks my back."
Oh. Shit, on the one hand you don't want to lose but on the other hand how could that motivate you to wanna win!? "Well in that case if I win you gotta⊠carry me home!" Perfect. You can play it off as innocent laziness but if he wants it to be more than he can interpret it that way.
Just barely you can hear Prince's voice from your belt before you start your mad dash. "I don't like these terms, can't you guys change them!?"
You lost, because of course you did. Maybe because Silas is significantly taller, fitter, and simply a better runner but as far as you're concerned the only reason he won is because your heart wasn't in it. Now however it was racing faster than you ever could at the thought of sleeping side by side.
"It's okay (Y/n), I mean you didn't have much of a chance to start with but you definitely tried." Silas ruffles your hair as you start laying out the towels on the sand, the setting sun casting an almost ethereal glow on your skin.
"Right so I'm a sore loser but we're not going to talk about what a sore winner you are?"
"Sorry sorry, just happy to not have to sleep on that brick." He takes a step back to begin taking off his shirt. You look away and do the same but just as you finish you feel two hands settle on your hips from behind.
"How about you test the waters first, hmm?" Without warning you're lifted into the air and rushed down towards the water before being unceremoniously flung straight in. Water engulfs your body and you're only just barely quick enough to hold your nose. Within seconds you resurface gasping for air. Your gaze pinpoints Silas standing a few feet away in the shallows stifling a laugh. You're going to kill him.
It must've been about two hours at this point that you two had been in the water. Once more you dive under in hopes of pulling Silas down but his feet remain firmly planted. As you pull desperately on his leg he stoops down and lifts you from under the arms. "You done yet?"
"Put me down I swear to god I'llâŠ" the words catch in your throat as you try to make sense of what you're seeing. Behind Silas on the beach it almost looks like⊠like someone's rifling through your stuff. But that can't be right, there's still plenty of people and you're so far away you must be seeing wrong but, what if you're not. The anxiety grows in your stomach as you watch them throw unreadable objects around that almost look like your belongings like your shoes and the dress you'd been wearing.
"Silas turn around." He does as instructed and immediately sees what you're looking at. "Oh fu-" He cuts himself off in his hurry, dropping you to wade along behind him as quickly as possible until you're both back on dry sand and sprinting towards the perpetrator. Unfortunately two young adults sprinting towards you at full speed tends to be noticeable. The rummager quickly pockets something before turning on his heel and booking it. You can hardly keep up quickly getting left behind as Silas pursues him off the beach and onto the nearest road. Well if you can't help pursue then the next best thing you can do is see what was taken and what wasn't Prince being the most important thing to find first.. Ignoring the few stares of the people who'd actually noticed the fiasco, you kneel down on your towel.
Still shaken you look around for Prince but find yourself beginning to shake as you quickly find him to be the one thing you in fact can't find. Nothing else was missing except for him. No. No, that can't be right. You rifle through both of your belongings just as the man from before had, pleading and hoping he's just gotten tossed somewhere in the chaos.
"Prince? Prince are you here? Where are you?!" You feel your eyes begin to sting as your searching becomes more frantic. This can't be happening. Why were you so stupid! Why wound't you think that something as valuable as him would attract people. You were careless and now one of your best friends is gone!
You yelp as you feel a hand on your shoulder. You turn to swat it but stop just before upon realizing its owner to be an out of breath Silas. "S-sorry I just- I lost him in the beach crowds and-" he collapses beside you. With a sniffle you offer him one of the water bottles which he accepts appreciatively.
"Its okay but⊠fuck, they took Prince.â
Silas splutters on the water he'd just been drinking. âAre you serious!?â He frantically searches around just as you had been doing before to just as much success. âOh my god, (Y/n) Iâm so sorry. Letâs go report this and maybe-â
âWhat the fuck are the police going to do? As far as theyâd be concerned a girl lost her toy. You think they waste time on shit like that?â
âThen what do you want to do?â His thumb tenderly brushes away the dew from your eyes.
âI⊠I donât know⊠can we go home?â Silas nods fervently, hurrying to pack everything back into his bag as you wrap yourself with a towel.
The walk home is quiet, the last of twilight having finally faded along with the beach goers leaving in their place the quiet chirp of appendages rubbing against each other. You unlock your door tiredly allowing Silas in. Straight to your bedroom the pair of you go. You donât have energy for anything else. God youâre so stupid. Prince must be scared out of his mind or worse he might believe youâd abandoned him. After all that talk youâd given him about how you two were friends how and youâd never do that here it was coming exactly to fruition. All of these thoughts restlessly tormenting your mind come to a head as your door creaks open at your light touch. The room is pitch black, the lights having been shut off before your departure, leaving now the only illumination to be the small monitor in the corner of your room. The dim glow is enough to stop your heart in its tracks as showing the one face you hadnât realize how much youâd been longing to see.
âWelcome back (Y/n)!â Prince smiles giddily at you and you nearly fall apart right there as you stumble blindly in the dark over to him.
âIâm such an idiot! Thank god youâre okay!â Your gaze is so intense he almost seems taken aback but itâs quickly evident how pleased he is to see it. Soon behind you Silas appears, his jaw slack.
âI uploaded him into the computer before and fuck I forgot he could just move between the two.â You place your hand against the screen not minding the smudges itâll leave. Prince does the same, the most loving look youâve ever seen reflected in his eyes.
âIâm sorry I let that guy take you!â Your hand falls back to your side.
âItâs okay, as long as I can still talk to you it doesnât matter.â
âStill,â Silas continues, âdo you have any idea where he took you? Or who he was?â
âNo⊠he immediately shoved me in his pocket and after rather easily losing you he put me in some sort of locked container without light, much like what Iâd been trapped in previously. After that happened I admit I couldnât really stand it and immediately left to be back in your computer.â
âIâm glad youâre a lot smarter than me,â you laugh feeling the adrenaline finally cooling off and the exhaustion hitting.
âIf you want, we can start searching for the tomatgotchi tomorrowâŠâ
But Prince only raises a dismissive hand. âNo need, thereâs nothing much of value on it now that Iâve left. Essentially theyâre just left with a piece of junk now.â
You laugh and nod before a hand lands on your head ruffling your hair. âSleep (Y/n), itâs been a long day.â
âAre you staying?â Silas turns back to the screen, an unreadable expression on Princeâs face.
âWell yeah I was going to spend the nightâŠ?â
âMust be nice, getting to touch and hold herâŠâ
Silas grins wrapping his arms around you from behind âyou wouldnât believe,â and tosses you onto the bed. You laugh as you bounce with your own weight and once more with Silasâs added. He lifted the sheets and blankets allowing you to snuggle under. As he gets comfortable beside you the glow from the monitor disappears and youâre left in almost complete darkness except for the faint moonlight coming in through your windows, like a light blanket of snow.
Silas faces you as you lie on your sides. Heâs happy you can tell that much but thereâs something else in that gaze that makes you stop and stare.
âGoodnight (Y/n)⊠Iâll make breakfast tomorrow.â
âYou donât have toâŠâ you mumble looking away.
âIâm aware.â You grin at each other before finally closing your eyes and falling into the gentle embrace of rest.
It doesnât last long. You wake up rather suddenly to a shaking sensation. As you wipe the grogginess from your eyes you can just make out the sounds of grunting from beside you. You donât allow your mind to wander too much before verifying yourself but find the breath leaves you body as your eyes meet the two others in the room. Silas weakly reaches for the hands around his throat but itâs evident his strength is fading along with his consciousness. Without further thought you leap towards him latching onto the perpetrators hands. âLet go of him! The hell are you doing!?â
You manage to pry the hands off without too much difficulty, as if theyâd gone slack the moment you touched them. You pull the wheezing Silas towards you ferociously and turn to look at the owner of the hands only to lose any words youâd previously thought to scream. Looming over your bed is a face you never thought youâd see within your reach, and you almost do, touch him that is. Your fingers stretch towards him, his face wrinkled with a smile. But before you can process whatâs happening it contorts with the force of Silasâs fist as he socks Prince in the face. He stumbles backwards but only a bit, Silas seeming more injured after the punch then him. âFuck,â he yelps holding his fist and curling into you.
You look back up at Prince to see if heâll retaliate but he only watches the two of you calculatively. âPrince⊠is that youâŠ?â Though youâd known immediately you needed to hear his voice just to confirm. It comes out soft and deep as always but something else you dare to say almost loving swirls within.
âIâm so happy to see you (Y/n).â Harshly you suck in a breath.
âI donât understand⊠youâŠâ millions of questions are present within you but you manage to collect yourself and voice the most imperative one. âWhy did you attack Silas?â
Princes eyes widen as if heâd not been expecting the question. How could he not? Regardless of who itâd been attacking Silas they still attacked your best friend and youâre not just going to let it slide.
âHeâs in my way.â There isnât a trace of emotion in that line, itâs so matter of fact you wonder if it really is Prince youâre talking to.
âWhat do you mean?!â
âI should be the one in bed with you, not this piece of garbage.â
Silas coughs glaring with a furry youâd never seen before at Prince, âf-fuck off you freak.â Once more Prince returns his gaze with just as much unbridled hate and you can tell heâs preparing to pounce. In an instant you scramble to place yourself between them, arms spread out as a pathetic form of shielding him though in the moment you arenât actually sure who youâre protecting from who. Itâs obvious Silas was the real victim, clearly having been attacked in his sleep but you told Prince youâd protect him, you swore and the weight of that promise hangs on you even now. Though before you he appears human, perhaps itâs unreasonable to expect him to have sensibilities of one as well.
âPrince, please donât hurt Silas. Humans are very fragile and easy to kill so if you fight Iâm not sure heâd survive.â
âSo?â For fucks sake.
âIf he dies it means he canât come back! Heâs gone forever!â
âIâm aware, thatâs why I need to do it.â
What!? God damnit is he not listening to you!? Forever! You said heâd be gone forever! Is he really so selfish that the only things he cares about are himself and-
âIf you hurt him at all Iâll hate you forever, Iâm your friend right? Arenât you doing this to get closer to me!? Well itâll only drive me away!â
This does cause him to stop, his hand pausing in its attempt to reach forward and move you.
âWhy? I only want to be by your side.â
âI- I also want that! But I need Silas to be here too. Please can we just stop and talk? I still havenât even gotten over the fact that youâre here in the flesh.â
âIâm not.â His gaze leaves yours to meander on the floor. âI am still just a metal machine, even in this body. But it was the only way to be with you.â
You meet his hand still hovering a few inches away and interline your fingers. âYouâre so beautifulâŠâ
â(Y/n) donât touch it!â Silas grabs your waist wrenching you backwards into him.
âWhat are you-â
âAre you really going to trust the thing that just tried to kill me!?â The hurt in his voice is evident and the guilt nips at you. For a moment youâd completely forgotten about him. He had a good point too.
âN-no not entirely but we donât need to be fighting right?â You look to Prince who nods slowly but his gaze is locked with intensity on Silas who only huffs in response.
âRight so letâs just talk okay? All three of us.â You detach your self from Silas and make yourself comfortable against some pillows. You gesture to the bed and Prince climbs onto the end to sit on his knees, the bed lurching with however many hundred pounds his metal body is.
âI have questions that I think I should get to ask first.â Silas speaks into the silence, sitting up and crossing his legs.
Prince is clearly not pleased with this but holds back any urge to voice it.
âHowâd you become like- how are you- youâre here. How?â He gestures to all of Prince with scrutiny.
âI had a body built so that I could be with (Y/n).â
âWho on earth could and would do that?â
Prince smiles plainly, âonce I got access to the internet it wasnât that hard. It really is such a big place. I found some people already working on artificial bodies. Problem is they had no one to put into them so I offered! They added whatever I wanted to it as long as I agreed to cooperate after they put me in, which mightâve been a lie⊠But itâs alright! We talked it over until they let me go.â His eyebrows crease in an apologetic look. âSorry I didnât mean to worry you when I was taken today but I am happy you were so worried.â His loving gaze rests on you once more but youâre chilled at the thought of what he meant by âtalking it over.â
âWhy didnât you tell meâŠ?â Is it stupid to be hurt over your Ai friend getting a human body without telling you? Yes probably but that doesnât help the fact you are.
âI just wanted to surprise you, Iâm sorry (Y/n).â While this put your heart a little more at ease Silas remained unimpressed.
âOr because he thought youâd stop him. Prince youâre insane. If you wanna be human so bad start acting like one you canât just attack people.â
Ashamedly you nod, âhe has a point, if it were any other other person the police would already be here.â
âI really am sorry⊠I guess I wasnât thinking.â
âItâs okay just never pull shit like that again or Iâll have your head on a pike.
âOkay⊠in that case though,â suddenly Prince leaps forwards wrapping his arms around you and tackling you to the bed. He does appear to be careful though to not put his full weight on you but still effectively caging you in. âIâm so happy to see you! Weâre gonna have so much fun together.â He pulls his head away to stare at your face, âyouâre even more beautiful in person, I didnât even think that was possible.â
Your face suddenly feels much hotter then before and you turn it to the side to avoid eye contact only to meet those of your other guest. His lips part in shock at this and you can see his hand trembling. Noticing this Prince grabs your face a bit harder than you think he meant to and turns you to face him.
What happened next was something in hindsight you think you shouldâve predicted yet it seemed so far-fetched you hadnât even entertained the idea. Without a moment's hesitation Prince presses his lips to yours, hard. He clearly has no idea what heâs doing but continues it anyway like he does. Its a little painful and after a moment you push on his chest signaling for him to stop. He does after another moment that was longer than you think it shouldâve been. Heâs still smiling stupidly down at you like he hadnât just been devouring your face.
Silas apparently finally finds his words. âW-what the fuck!?â He shoves Princeâs body in an attempt to get him off you but he is blatantly unaffected. He only removes himself once you tell him to get off you.
âY-you canât just do that to someone either! Okay new rule donât touch anyone without permission!â Princes ears droop but he nods.
âSorry (Y/n), I thought youâd like itâŠâ he looks down at his lap. Well itâs not like you hated it⊠But Jesus, how was he thinking youâd react!?
hi! I'm very sorry to randomly send a message, I'm reaching out to my followers to see if anyone can help :') I'm a refugee facing deportation and you're my very last hope to stay safe. The info is on my pinned post.
If you can't help, that's totally okay! Thank you for reading and again sorry to bother you, I know these messages can be very annoying. And if you've already reblogged/donated, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
have a nice day!
Sorry I donât now how late this message is since I rarely check my notifications but I reblogged!! Hope things improve
I'm a venezuelan refugee in Spain since 2019. My focus was entirely on escaping and staying in a safe country. When I got here, I got the help of an accountant/manager to start working legally.
He committed fraud in my name without telling me and refused to take responsibility. I was penalized to pay âŹ8600 for his mistake.
I'll add the whole explanation after the read more because you need context to understand what he did.
And now if I can't pay this thing, my residence will be taken away. I will be deported.
I've tried so hard to raise this money. More work, more marketing, preorders, asking for a loan, but nothing has worked.
I have until next month to pay it so I can renew my residence.
All I wanted was to do things right. I thought seeking a professional to handle the legal aspects of my business was the right thing to do. I thought I could finally breathe after being treated like a criminal for years in Venezuela, when all I want is to make my silly little figurines in peace.
I need to take care of my babies (cats) and my parents who are still stuck in Venezuela. I only make enough to live + take care of them, and it's become clear that I can't raise this money by work alone.
So please, any help is appreciated. Reblogs, orders, commissions. I'm so incredibly embarrassed to make this post, but I'm desperate. I don't want to be deported. I don't want to be an illegal alien. I don't want to live in constant fear again.
Here's my Ko-fi link, thank you for reading

There's some context needed to understand what happened, so here it goes.
In Spain, you need to pay a monthly fee of âŹ300 in order to run a business. This goes to the Social Security.
The fee is mandatory, but the government realized it was unfair to charge it from the beginning to a business that's only starting. So they established a reduction of âŹ240 for new entrepreneurs, for 1 year. After that, they'd slowly raise it.
They also gave benefits to people living in certain areas, especially small towns. The fee reduction extended for 6 extra months with this, but only applied as long as you continued to live there for 4 years.
I lived in a small town for 1 year. Then I moved to the closest small city.
But this accountant guy asked for this 6 month extension in my name without my consent.
So then the government demanded I pay the whole âŹ240 for each month ever since I started my business. I went through all the legal processes to ask them to review this thing but it was impossible. They ignored everything. It didn't matter that I only received the benefit for the 1 year that I would've been given anyway for being a new entrepreneur. It didn't matter that I would never be able to afford to pay this in the 15 days they gave me.
If that wasn't enough, I got sick with covid twice, and missed 4 months of work in total, months I got 0 income because they also won't ensure me until I pay the thing. So those fees were also added to the debt + late fees that continue to grow.
Summary: Basically he promised the government I'd live in a small town for 4 years, and when I moved before then (because I had no idea he had done this) they demanded I pay back ALL the benefits they had granted me in the past year.
Ever meet someone really freaking funny and sweet online and really want to be their friend, but youâre too awkward to actually say anything? Just me?
