7 with rassel and 10?

handwritten / promised

In the middle of a casual bloodletting between friends, palm splayed and pressed to 10's altar as they wait for the channels to fill, Rassel speaks.

"So, how come this one needed my blood, specifically?"

10 doesn't look away from where he's setting out the carved stones for the ritual circle. "For the color," he deadpans, and Rassel rolls their eyes. If 10 wanted blue blood he coulda just killed a squid, and 10 huffs. "The magic. It adds a boost to the ritual so I don't need to kill so many fucking villagers. Or Dec, over and over again."

"But Dec loves dying over and over again, and I don't!" They whine, leaning harder into the pedestal as they begin to get lightheaded. "Just ask the smeltery! It's so hungry for Declan blood yum!"

10 doesn't respond beyond a snort, which is pretty much full on laughter, for him. And, for some reason- maybe it's the blood loss, maybe it's the lingering warnings from Brian still messing with them- Rassel finds themselves genuinely worried. Like, maybe 10 is planning something that's gonna suck for them down the line. Or maybe it's gonna suck for him, and he isn't telling them so they'll go along with it.

"10, serious for a sec?" They call tentatively. 10 turns to face them properly at their tone, the barest hint of a frown. The worry soothes them a little, but they aren't gonna chicken out and stew in their anxiety. "This is gonna sound stupid, but. I gotta ask or else my brain's gonna explode later."

They don't specify if they mean that literally or not. With the knowledge they've gained from Thaum forcing physical symptoms, they aren't really sure which they mean themselves.

"You love us, right?"

10 blinks, and then levels then with the most exasperated glare. "Of fucking course I do," he says with an eyeroll, honest and annoyed. "You don't have to keep asking."

They laugh, chest warming, a soothing balm to their worry. "I know, I know, sorry. It helps to hear it."

"...that all?" 10 asks, turning away, beginning to work again. They worry their teeth, stewing. It hadn't been, of course- "Do you love me/us" is something Rassel asks their friends at least once a week, when the flux in their brain crushes them with hissing, nasty thoughts made tangible. The real question they'd meant to ask had been... Growing louder in their own mind, the past few months. More oppressive.

"...sometimes I- I think we're doing this wrong," they blurt, feeling a little bad at the way 10 freezes. But he hasn't interrupted, so they continue. "Me and you, I-I mean. Lately, Brian-" 10 scoffs derisively, "-has gotten pushier with me to delve deeper. And the deeper I go the more my- the more everything gets. Weird? And sometimes I feel like I'm... Losing bits and pieces of myself, everytime I step too close to the deep shit. But, you know, not really, because I'm not really losing anything. And I love to learn! I love my work, but it still makes me feel. Wrong? That she wants me to do it. Like it makes it feel like I shouldn't."

"Then don't."

"It's not that simple and you know it," they huff without much bite. "I have to keep going just as much as you have to keep bleeding. And- sometimes when you respawn, o-or Dec respawns, it takes you guys so long to stop looking so pale." They fret, free hand worrying at their singed ear. The world is starting to get a little fuzzy around the edges. They'll be out soon. "I'm... I love my magic. You love yours. We aren't going to stop- I don't- think we should stop, I don't want to. But..."

They trail off, losing their train of thought. 10 makes a clicking noise to draw them back, practiced.

"Can... Can we... Together, right now, can we promise that we won't... let it eat us alive?"

10 tenses, like they knew he would. It's why they got all rambly before getting to their point.

"I don't do promises."

"I-I know. Normally I wouldn't ask you to cause I know it's... Yeah. But I'm- I'm not asking just you. Think of it less like a promise and- and more like a mutual goal!" they offer, even though they know it's a weak sentiment. "Our goal is to be so fucking good at magic and not get eaten by it. Isn't- can't you do that?"

10 is quiet. He's quiet for so long, moving stuff around, that Rassel is knelt on the ground, face pressed against the cool pedestal, when he finally speaks. They hadn't noticed when he'd finished, or when he'd gotten so close.

"This is the only one you get," he warns, serious and resigned, like he already regrets it. "I promise."

Rassel raises their head weakly, ignoring the way their head pounds, and grins up at him.

"I promise too."

The last thing they see before the world fades to white and drops them in their bed is 10 baring a rare smile.

It doesn't feel like the win it should, though.

🌹+ rassel my dearly beloved :0

get along like a house on fire - being trapped in the end sucked, but being trapped in the nether with 10 really took the cake.

They knew they were being childish, sulking in a corner, but they had to take a moment or else the heat in the air was going to take its hold in their bones and have them strangle the only other person here.

(No matter how furious they were, they didn't exactly want to be alone again.)

"Rassel," the guy who decidedly wasn't 10- but also. Was kinda 10? He said something about sharing a body- called, and they glared over their shoulder petulantly at him. It was still weird to see their... Friend's face move like that, so expressive. "I know you're mad, but can you please give the gold back?" He cajoled, crouching closer in a weird little crabwalk. "If you give it back I'll-- I'll trade you some stew? Fresh stew?"

Rassel was about to tell him exactly where he could stick his stew when their stomach betrayed them, growling audibly even over the crackle of fire. They flushed darkly, shuffling to face him.

"Fine, whatever," they grumbled, finally releasing their death grip on the gold they'd nabbed from the crafting bench (pettily, a small voice in their mind griped). "I don't need your soup. I just wanted him to apologize."

"You do need the stew," the man who isn't 10 says dryly, setting a bowl on the soft ground beneath them for them to grab. "And you started it, pushing him into lava."

"He's fireproof! It shouldn't have mattered!"

"And if I pushed you in a river?" He shoots back, sliding the gold behind him, and they narrow their eyes with a tch. "Still sucked, and he dropped his pickaxe. Stop instigating, please. It's not fun for anyone here."

They grumble, thoroughly chastised. Even still, they barely hesitate to grab the stew and dig in.

(It's really good. Goddammit.)

(Goddammit.)

People I would like to tag: @youreverydayinsanewriter, @kiwibirdlafayette, @forthegothicheroine, @cukibola, @wheremyhotchocolate, and anyone else (I’m sorry for not knowing anyone).

1. What’s a motivation for your writing?

I want to spread awareness of mental illnesses while using fictional characters.

2. Which of your characters do you love to hate?

Oh, gosh, I don’t know. Sorry!

3. What inspired you to write your wip?

I just liked the stories and the mutability of the characters.

4. Which of your characters would you go watch a movie with?

Dinadan, because he is the best.

5. What old wip would you really like to reboot?

So, I had these stories about historical figures that I would love to get back to. I also had a story about this cowboy who went on adventures with Billy the Kid after his supposed death.

6. What’s an unpopular opinion you have regarding writing?

I struggle with perfectionism, so in my mind, the story has to be nearly perfect the first go around.

7. Would you say your style’s more ornate or bare-bones?

Ornate, just because I try to get everything down.

8. Would you want your story as an rpg game?

Sure! I’d love to see different outcomes for my characters’ fates.

9. Your story’s getting an adaptation! Live-action or animated?

Live-action. I think it would capture the gravity of what I try to convey.

10. Do you like to draw your characters as well as writing about them?

I would if I could draw.

My questions:

1. Why do you like to write?

2. Would you like to meet your characters in real life?

3. If your story was getting an adaption, would you like it to be live-action or animated?

4. What is the hardest part of writing for you?

5. Badly explain your WIP in one sentence.

6. Do you prefer to plot or fly by the seat of your pants?

7. Would you live in your story if given the chance?

8. Have you laughed or cried while writing?

9. What’s a trope that you love to death?

10. Do you have any goals for your WIP?
