I couldn’t sleep again so lemme write an excerpt from our fanfiction, Andromeda featuring Tomas/Smoke and Krysta 💙
‼️Warning: mentions blood and massacre‼️
After Travis told Krysta that Tomas is a demon/enenra. He ran off to the nearby forest because he felt like he cannot face her after she knew he isn’t human and he got scared that she will not like to be around him anymore. Little did he know, Krysta followed him deep inside the forest and the lurkers in the dark saw her and attacked her, Tomas sensed her fear through the mark on his arm and immediately went where she is, he came just in time and fought with monsters, he poured out his frustrations on them so he really massacred them relentlessly, their guts flying out everywhere and he didn’t stop until his armor is drenched with their blood but even if he is uninjured, his heart aches at the thought that Krysta saw what he is and witnessed what he did to those beings and thought to himself that he will surely scare her off and she will hate her and wouldn’t want to go near him again. Just the thoughts breaks his feeble heart, he couldn’t even turn around to face her until she spoke to him and asked him to face her, he hesitated at first but he still followed her request but he stared at her feet. He knew he looked like a predator who just slain his prey and that is the sight he never wished for her to see but too late now…
Krysta: Tomas, listen to me. Travis is wrong. You didn’t lie to me. It’s true that you didn’t tell me what you are but you also didn’t say you’re human. I kinda knew from the start that you’re not ordinary but I didn’t ask you because I want you to be ready to tell me yourself because there are things that takes time to be ready to talk about. I also want to tell you that as someone who has lost most of her loved ones, I cannot bear to invest my feelings for somebody and live in constant fear that they too, would die because of me… Just because I can’t even defend myself in this wretched world I don’t belong to…but when you came by, you always put my mind at ease by making sure I am always safe with you but you forsaking your own safety for me isn’t something I will stand for!
Tomas: Travis is right, I am not like you. The truth is I am an assassin and a demon enenra so I couldn’t care less if I lose a limb fighting our faction’s enemies because at the end of the day I will heal and I’m used to all the wounds and injuries. I don’t want to have you worry about me but if I am being honest, when you came here and you started worrying about me and my well-being which is something new to me, for some reasons I like the warm feeling it sends me every time you check on me, I felt valued and cared for which is something I have never felt for a long time and I will make sure to protect not only myself but you, more than anything else but I guess it’s too late for that now because you see me? This is what I really am. I’m scary and I wouldn’t blame you if you don’t want to be near someone like me…
Krysta: I don’t care what kind of being you are, you are important to me and I will care for you even if those wounds heal in a second or your limbs grow back in a few minutes. I know you feel pain too and I’m not sure if you find it wrong that I worry about you because you’re my friend and friends look out for each other as they should be. Promise me you will never leave me… *bites her lip to stop her tears from falling and runs to hug Tomas*
Tomas: *startled and flustered by her sudden actions, slowly wraps one of his arms around her* K-Krysta, I’m bloodied all over, you will get dirty if you do that.
Krysta: I don’t care! Don’t listen to Travis like his words are my own! I don’t care if you are an alien or a demon or anything! You’re my friend and I accept you for who you are so stop being a dummy and don’t leave me… I feel safer with you around.
Tomas: I promise to never leave your side, you can always count on me near you, if that’s what would calm you and your restless mind, I swear it to my life that I will protect you from anything that would want to bring you harm and also to make sure I don’t get hurt so much in the process…
Krysta: *smiles and looks up to meet Tomas’ eyes* Thank you. You don’t know how much this means to me, finally I felt like I have someone I can rely on from this foreign world. I will do my best to stay away from harm so you won’t have that much work to do.
Tomas: It means so much to me too, I will be happy to defend you from anything that will try to hurt you, as long as I’m around, no harm can befall you, my dear… friend *stares intently at her*
The two returned to the Sky Temple and forgot they are both bloodied all over, much to their companions surprise when they showed up together. Tomas and Krysta just laughed at their reactions and decided to clean themselves before having dinner.
A/N: I didn’t put blood or red on the drawing because I like it looked clean after inking hehe also I hope you liked this piece, let me know what you think of it 🥹
