phos sighed as they laid their head on one of the nearby tables of the library, feeling the wave of sleep trying to drag them into it’s current. suddenly they felt a light smack on their head by a book.
“and what’re you doing here? lazing around on duty?”
“little one be nice now.”
looking up they found ghost trying to fix their bang, while their left half, dark and sneering at them glared down as their uncovered and covered arms crossed together. the dreaded feeling that made them sleepy came back as the left side growled. “be nice? look what they DID to us!”
“you, technically did it.” ghost mumbled as the half snapped back. “no thanks to you! honestly your lucky covering for them didn’t end in you joining lapis!”
“i’m...” both paused looking back at phos. “...really sorry...i should’ve, planned better.”
“your oka-”
“damn right you should’ve.”
“little one!”
phos groaned as they felt ghost’s hand petting them. “i mean really now, if your this sleepy i don’t want you planning anything.” their half stated as their hand was on their hip, ghost looking side eyed to them before nodding. “you do need sleep though phos.” they responded quietly as phos chuckled.
“i uh...dunno if i can.” they mumbled, a flash of a finger to lips made their gold spasm lightly. taking notice ghost’s body moved to the other side of the table. “little o-”
immediately phos felt themself dragged by their left half out of the seat and to one of the cushioned window seats of the library. watching the two in one gem sit they let themself get dragged onto their shared lap by the half’s strength for the most of it.
“i’m not going out there fighting with you again if you decide to pass out, and don’t trust you trying to alone cause there’s the chance you’ll lie bout it.” they stated as both hands they felt were gently petting their head. “now sleep already.”
“...hehe.” they chuckled as phos looked to them with a sleepy smile. “weren’t you getting on me for sleeping in the library?”
“moreso the table, now sleep already.” they replied putting their hand over the gem’s eyes as they smiled. “thanks...uh...wha...what did sensei give you as a name?”
“don’t remind me, i don’t even like that name.” they replied with a sigh. “....he named me cairngorm.”
watching the turquoised gem finally resting both gems took a sigh as they watched.
“...i think...it’s a nice name too.” ghost mumbled as cairn rolled their eye. “course you would, you don’t have to share your name with another.” they grumbled as ghost gave a neutral smile.
“there are, other names related to us that sensei told us when we were younger.”
“you mean names for you.”
“it’s still the same, in a way.” they replied counting on their fingers that laid lightly on phos’s head. “phantom, smokey quartz-”
“phantom.” ghost paused side eyeing the other. “...i like that one more.” they smiled. “it fits you, i read that phantom’s are very dark figures that the species before us believed to be dangerous.”
“dangerous dark figure...” they watched their hand clench. “i like that...alot.”
“i can tell the others later.” ghost replied looking to phos. “i kinda...don’t want to interrupt them.”
“fine.” phantom sighed in annoyance as ghost giggled. “i know you wouldn’t want to either.”
“i’m not completely covered up by you.”
“no, but i’ve known you long enough to know when you care for someone too.”
“your just influencing me.”
“maybe.” they smiled as they watched phantom’s hand gently petting phos’s top part of their head as ghost played with their small tips gently, amused by their little one’s defiance as the sun on their shared back felt more delicious through the window.
During a fight against Lunarians (maybe on the moon), Cairngorm is broken into small parts. He instantly loses his memories about Phos and the fight.
Before he passes out, he sees a stranger (Phos) rushing towards him, leaking weird liquid from one eye. As Cairngorm is being held by the sobbing stranger, he is baffled at the stranger’s expression and feels a sense of pain rising from within too.
Phos, with the pearl eyeball given by the “human” enemy, cannot express his sadness and rage of that moment through merely the “leaking” alloy gold. Phos protects his partner and love with a coat of alloy gold and turns to slay all enemy in his view.
