some people just have no true appreciation for terrible women. oh she killed and ate people? well maybe she was hungry. "I cant defend her anymore-" well then fucking stand aside so i can talk to my client
แฆธ grim was an annoyance to everyone, but the ramshackle prefect never made him feel as if he was one.
Grim was the type of creature to act tougher, with more hisses than bites, because that was how the world had taught him to be.
That is until he met you.
He had never known the comfort and safety a pair of arms wrapped around him could bring. It was unfamiliar, to have such a nice feeling when all his life, heโd been seen as nothing but a mere rascal that causes disturbance and annoyance to anyone who has the misfortune of meeting him. It wasn't his fault, dreams are meant to be big and hard to achieve, right? So why was it that others sneered and mocked his dreams of achieving a bright future where people will acknowledge him as something other than a bother?ย Other students could dream without experiencing any of the things he had gone through.ย
Grim truly believes that in order for him to be loved, he must go down as one of the greatest. He would fight fangs and claws just to be able to achieve that feat.
But how come youโve only nodded at him and told him that you believe he could reach his dreamโa dream that seemed so unreachable for a creature like him no matter how much he denies itโall while having that stupid smile on your face?
It was weird. You were weird.
In a world where the weak could only dream of dethroning the strong, and the strong overshadowing the weak; Grim was only meant to be a mere speck of dirt in the vast lands of the world, but for reasons unknown to him, you decided that the same speck of dirt is nothing but a gem in the making. A great mage in the making, to be exact.ย
So, Grim decided that maybe you were worth keeping by his side. If only to have someone who would listen so attentively to his ramblings about being the best, to have someone he could share warmth with when the nights grow too cold, and lastly, to have someone he could finally consider as one of his ownโa family. (though youโd never catch him saying something so corny, heโs going to become the greatest afterall!)
โHench-human! The Great Grim has decided, you can stay by my side even if youโre weaker than me, myahahaha!โ
โIs that so?โ You dusted off the bed, sparing a glance at the lounging creature near you, โIf the Great Grim so desires, then I shall be your โhench-humanโ forever โtill you get tired of lil olโ me.โย
โMyah! Ya better be! Or else Iโll cast one of my powerful spells on ya!โย
โYes, yes,โ You nodded your head repeatedly, โthis pitiful hench-human understands. Now, shall the Great Grim lay down to take his oh-so-precious sleep?โย You patted the bed and leaned to the side as Grim leaped on the bed.ย
โ...Are you happy, Grim?โย
โMrah! What kind of question is that? โCourse I am! Iโm getting stronger now!โ You smiled, a one so soft and affectionate just like the look in your eyes that made Grim pause. Your hand petting his head slowly made him snap out of it, normally, heโd reprimand you for it, but.. at the moment, Grim can feel himself getting drowsy as his eyes get heavier.
โIโm glad you are, because I am too.โย
Grim remembers it so clear, that was the last thing he heard before his eyes shut close and his mind went to dream land. You said you were happy, you told him that youโd be by his side. You promised, you said that promises arenโt meant to be brokenโthat theyโre sacred things between people.ย
So, why did you leave?ย ย
Was he so annoying that youโd up and leave him the moment you got the chance to go back to your world, a world where your real family resides. (but wasnโt he your family too?)
Grim only remembers how chaotic his insides felt. He wanted to lash out to you, to everyone who abused your kindnessโyour softness. He couldn't, though, your last words to him before you left, he had to engrave it into his stubborn heart.ย
โYouโre a big boy now, Grimโฆand sometimes, the greatest need to stand on their own.โ You slide your hand over his head, โwill you do that for me, Great Grim?โย
He nodded, the only response he could make. Grim felt as if Floyd had dropped him in the freezing pool that the Octavinelle dorm has.ย
โThank you, Grim.โ
A kiss to the forehead was your last goodbye to him. He wanted to chase after you, to yell at you that his hench-human canโt abandon him. But, your words echoed through the chaos within. Heโll have to suck it all up, to act brave just like before, and pretend that your departure wasnโt making his eyes teary. Still, a few drops escaped out of his eyes but your back only grew smaller, your hand wonโt be wiping away the tears anymore. So, heโll deal with it.
