Your Safety is My Priority
Darkness envelops your senses. You're vaguely aware of the steady drip of water behind you, and of the chilling cold that sinks into your bones. You groan softly, the wooden chair pressing against your back and the ropes binding your hands rubbing against your skin, most likely leaving marks for you to wince at in the coming days. If that's even possible to say the least. You're not sure where you are, or how much time has passed. Your memory is hazy, bleary images flashing through your mind as you attempt to recall what even led up to your current predicament.
Right, you were in the council room waiting for Ver to arrive. He had asked you to meet him there, letting you know that he had something important to tell you. Even though you and Ver aren't together, there was no denying the lingering touches and the stares that lasted longer than they should have when it came to the two of you. Your brow furrows, as what happened next is a hazy blur.
A rough jerk of your head startles you out of your thoughts and you wince at the blinding lights. "Owwwww..." you hiss, squinting up at your captor, arms folded in front of them. "Really, is that any way to treat your guests? Rather rude to manhandle them," you laugh softly, attempting to make light of your situation whilst observing the surrounding room. The room is dark, save for the singular lightbulb practically blinding you, making it even harder to make out your surroundings. You can sense someone in front of you but their features are unclear to you, the shadows practically enveloping them.
"You shut your mouth," A gruff voice growls out, pain erupting in your jaw. You cough, the metallic tang of blood filling your mouth, and you're pretty sure that's gonna leave a nasty bruise behind.
"Oooooo, the boss isn't gonna like that," another voice cuts in. Although you can't see them clearly, you can practically hear the smirk in their voice. "But then again..." their face comes into focus and you practically grimace from how close they are. They grab your jaw and you let out a small yelp of pain, gritting your teeth, "Why should I care?" Steeling yourself you bite down, hard. Teeth meet flesh and again, the taste of blood floods your senses. You're pretty sure you've cut deep into their hand, which gives you a sense of satisfaction. The individual let out a yell of pain, their expression hardening, any instance of mock sympathy gone from their gaze. They scoff, cradling their injured hand, blood streaming down from the punctures in their hand.
The wind is knocked out of you, and pain erupts in your lower abdomen. Their leg makes contact with your stomach, kicking you so hard it sends you and the chair you're tied to crashing to the floor. You cough again, wheezing as you try to catch your breath, completely disoriented. After a moment, your chair is uprighted once more, your head lolling down.
"You should have just left them there," the second voice comments, meanwhile the first person says nothing, roughly putting you back in place. Your head spinning, you can practically sense yourself slipping in and out of consciousness, struggling to keep your head up. "Whatever, let's just leave them here for now. We can deal with them later." Their footsteps recede into the background and you finally succumb to unconsciousness.
-----
Ver's POV
His leg bounces anxiously, fingers fidgeting as he checks the time. It's been an hour and still no sign of you showing up. He sighs, wondering if his impromptu request was too jarring.
He perks up, hearing the sound of hurried footsteps outside the council room door. With a smile on his face, Ver is able to envision the flustered state you would be in, while profusely apologizing for being late.
A knock at the door alerts him of someone outside. Clearing his throat, Ver gets up from his chair, leaning against the desk. "Come in," his voice is light. However, instead of you, he's instead greeted by Kotoka. Ver frowns, "Koto? Did something happen?" Kotoka pauses, her brow furrowed. "In a way," she sighs softly, "It has to do with Y/N."
Ver can feel his blood run cold, eyes widening slowly. "What do you mean, 'it has to do with Y/N?' Did something happen?" His expression hardens, his hands balling into fists. Ver's thoughts are racing, worry overtaking him. What if something happened to you? Is this why you were so late? Where were you now? Ver knew you were capable of taking care of yourself, but the worry gnawed at him.
Kotoka places a gentle hand on his shoulder, startling Ver out of his spiraling thoughts. Pulling out her phone, she opens up a tracker app, showing Ver. "This was the last known location of their phone." Wordlessly, Ver takes the device from her hands, realization slowly dawning on him. "I should have known..." he murmurs, taking a deep breath, "It seems I didn't clear up all the loose ends from my previous mission....and now I'm paying the price for it."
"Should I have Doppi handle this?" Kotoka gazes up at Ver, concern etched on her face. Ver pauses, before handing back Kotoka's phone to her. "No, there's no need. I will deal with this personally." Slipping on his coat and heading towards the door, he stops for a moment, turning back to Kotoka. "Let the others know I'm going out, but I'll be back soon."
-----
You don't know how long you had been stuck there, but at this point, your hands had gone numb, you were shivering from the incessant draft wafting into the dank, dark basement, and you're pretty sure you had a few broken ribs, based on the way it hurt to breathe. To put things simply, you were quite miserable and in a terrible state. Your captors had long since vacated the basement area, leaving you alone to your thoughts.
---
"Ver," you scold him gently, "You've been working for 4 hours straight, I think you should take a break." Despite the way your arms are crossed over your chest, a smile threatens to break out on your face. Ver sighs softly, rubbing his neck sheepishly, breaking eye contact from the mountain of paperwork on his desk. "I promise I will after I finish this. It's important that I finish and submit this proposal before the due date-"
"Nope!" You pull the pen out of his grasp, pushing the paperwork away from him. Ver lets out a noise of protest, his expression resembling that of a kicked dog. Taking his hands in yours, you pull him up and out of his chair. Getting behind him, you push him towards the door. "Come on ìì ìš, you've been working for so long now, I think you deserve some time to yourself. Besides your stuff isn't due until two weeks from now, so I think you can take some time for yourself. Also, you've been sitting at that desk for so long I can practically hear your joints popping and cracking," You teased him, a bright smile on your face. Ver relents, holding his hands up in mock surrender. "Alright, alright I'll take a break. Only because you asked so nicely," he laughs softly, his hand wrapping around yours, fingers intertwining with yours. You feel your face grow warm, not expecting him to be so forward.
Ver tilts his head curiously to the side, before realizing what he had done, his face also flushing. "Oh whoops, I didn't mean to do that, it was instinctual I swear!" He's clearly flustered and you panic a little, feeling him start to let go, tightening your grip on his hand. Ver stares at you, eyes wide from surprise, almost as if he didn't expect you to continue holding onto him. The two of you stand there in between the council room doorway and the hallway, both of you speechless and unsure of how to proceed.
"Oh? Do my eyes deceive me? What do we have here?" Doppio's head peaks around the corner, a mischievous grin on his face. "Looks like you finally made a move, good on you Ver." His grin widens, shooting Ver a thumbs up. You and Ver both flush various shades of red, letting go of each other's hands. "We're not dating Doppi, it's not what it looks like!" You exclaim, trying to explain why you and Ver were holding hands. Another person peeks around the corner, a skeptical look on his face. "Yeesh, you guys really need to get a room, why don't you go back into the council room so you guys can continue eye-fucking each other in privacy."
"Hex shut up."
---
Yelling from above you is the first thing you can hear in your dazed state. A headache rages in your skull, and you lean against the wall. The cool concrete provides some solace, quelling the pounding in your head. The door crashes open, and a pair of frantic footsteps make their way towards you. You open your eyes slightly, immediately recognizing the person before you.
"Y/N!" You can hear the worry seeping into Ver's voice, his hands reaching to cup your face. You unintentionally flinch against him, your head jerking back from the pain in your jaw. Ver's gaze widens, his eyes trailing down to the bruise on your cheek, understanding dawning on him. He presses a gentle hand against your shoulder, conflicting emotions crossing his face.
"Ver-" your voice croaks out. Ver moves to your side, his hands make their way down to the ropes binding yours, a slight grimace on his face. "I'm so, so sorry. I was careless, and because of that you got dragged into my mess," his bangs hang over his eyes, hiding his expression from you. You open your mouth to speak, but you keel over, slight movement from your end turning a dull ache into sharp pain. Ver catches you, supporting you as his hands work his way around the rope. After a moment you clear your throat, looking him in the eyes.
"It's not your fault, trust me. You can't blame yourself for the actions of other people," your voice is scratchy and hoarse, most likely from disuse. He shakes his head, sighing softly, "But I'm the reason you're here now...aren't I?" He pauses, eyes trailing over your figure, seemingly taking in your injured state. "You got hurt because of my carelessness. I have no one to blame but myself."
Finally, after some frustration, he relents, pulling out a small knife, making quick work of the rope. It falls to the ground and you pull your wrists up, rotating them to get the blood flowing again. Your hands feel clammy and numb, and you can see the indents in your wrists, your skin rubbed raw. Ver moves down in front of you, kneeling as he works on cutting away the rope tying your ankles to the chair. Swiftly the rope falls away and your legs are free. You shakily push yourself up off the chair but you stumble, knees weak.
An arm reaches around you to support you. Ver hoists you up as delicately as possible, guilt etched on his face. "Ver-" you whisper, and his head tilts in your direction, indicating that he's listening to you. "I already said this earlier, but this was not your fault alright? I know you're bound to have many enemies, but I know that you'll always be there for me, no matter what happens. These things happen, especially in your line of work," you wheeze out, limping towards the stairs leading upstairs with Ver's help.
Ver gasps softly, a faint flush on his face, "I'm sorry," he murmurs, and you jolt a little, hearing how close his voice is to your ear. "I still can't help but feel guilty because I wasn't able to protect you fully...and I care a lot about you. You mean a lot to me, I'm being serious."
You blink, slightly surprised. You were expecting Ver to be worried about you, but his sudden confession catches you off guard. "...Thank you," you mumble quietly, "For coming to get me, kaichou." He pauses, his stare lingering on you, a quiet laugh emerging from him, "Of course, I will always come save you if you're in danger, no matter what the stakes are."
The two of you stop in front of the imposing staircase, and you wince a little, trying to figure out how you would hobble upstairs. Without warning, you feel your feet lift off of the floor and you let out a yelp, finding yourself in a bridal carry. Ver seemingly lifts you with ease, and you blush feeling his body pressed up against yours. Warmth emanates from him, and as embarrassed as you are, you can't help but lean into him.
You both reach the top of the stairs, emerging into a large warehouse. You peek out a bit, eyes widening at the sight of all the unconscious bodies strewn across the floor. Ver strides towards the open door off to the side, the slight breeze causing you to shiver. Ver takes notice of this, gently setting you down against the wall so you could lean against it for support. You protest a little, already missing his warmth, before a familiar coat is draped over you.
Ver kneels down, smiling softly, tucking his coat around you to keep the warmth in. "It's chilly out, so you can have my coat. I'll call the others to come pick us up okay, I'm sure it won't take them too long." His gaze lingers on you for a moment too long, before he reaches into his pocket to grab his phone. He takes a step back, getting up to make the call. Ver's coat provides a comforting weight, and you can't help but snuggle into it a bit, inhaling his scent that lingers in it. You're reminded of how gentle and tender Ver has always been with you.
---
It doesn't take long for Ver to finish up his call and he turns back to where you are, only to discover that you've dozed off. He chuckles softly, leaning over you to examine your features. "Ver reaches out to brush a stray hair out of your face but pauses, his hand hovering in the air. "Y/N?" he whispers softly, reaching out to brush a stray hair out of your face but hesitating. His hand hovers in the air, but after some more hesitation, he relents, fingers gently grazing your face. You barely stir, chest rising and falling with each breath that you take. "Heh, you look pretty good with my jacket on you," he mutters, his face becoming flushed. Against his better judgement, he leans over, tucking your hair behind your ear, his lips grazing your forehead ever so slightly.
"Sweet dreams, no harm will befall you as long as I'm here."
Authors Notes: holy shit ive been gone for a bit im so sorry guys. Anyways this is somewhat based on that one ASMR that kaichou posted where we're tied up with him hehe, but this time you're the only one that was kidnapped LOL

ive been gona for a while im so sorry guys. if im being honest, i have been in such a slump and i lost the motivation to write, and as such i haven't been working on the main project on this blog as well as writing fanfics. i really wanna ease back into writing fics, and im putting the niji otome au on hiatus until im in a better headspace to work on something as massive as that.
but for the time being, in better news, ver has been living rent free in my brain so expect a fic with him soon LOL
alright looks like yall want me to finish all the ch 1 demos based on the poll lmaooo
but these are technically unofficial demos cause im still learning inklewriter and getting used to it. so as a result, the OFFICIAL official demo will be one big thing so it saves me a lot of trouble in the long run.
i plan to add character customization, and a proper prologue to set up the premise for the story i have in mind. there will be choices, stat checks, and potential good and bad choices that may effect your ending, it depends on how far i want to experiment with variables and such. the demo will follow a storyline but if youre romancing certain characters you can have your moments with them. i hope thats okay with you all! thank you for your patience and support đ
learning inklewriter is harder than i thought LMAOOO
would yall want me to try and add values and such to each of the ch1 demos from here on out going forward, or would you like me to add values to mysta and voxs so far, or do you guys want me to finish making basic ch 1 demos first, and then for future chapters to make it so that there are different values and your choices matter?
keep in mind that with the third option below, i'll most likely add character customization so you can customize your character lol.
and for the 4th option, me combing all the chapter 1's into 1 demo would be less of a hassle than separately working on different ones, and tbh it'll save me a lot of trouble in the long run + i could probably write a prologue.
please send help
add values for each of the ch 1 demos for now, except vox and mysta
revise vox and mysta's so that there are values and choices that matter
finish all ch 1 demos, then make it so that choices matter going forward
actually condense all of the chapter 1's into one massive demo
Hello all! I know I've been gone for a while, I apologize for that, genuinely. It's been what...6 months? I'm under the assumption that Tumblr has shadow-banned me LMAOOO.
Anyways I've come back because I'm happy to announce that Vox and Mysta's chapter 1's for the fantasy au have dropped! I will link both of their chapters below as well as the masterlist for the entirety of "The Language of Flowers"(aka the fantasy otome au).
Currently planning on writing Ike's and Shu's, will keep you all updated <3
Please reblog this post and the masterlist! It helps a lot <3333
Content Warnings: will be added to each chapter if there are any trigger warnings.

Authors Notes: Itâs here, itâs here! Sorry for the long ass wait HAHA. I have a lot of projects for now, so Iâll try and add everyoneâs route as time goes on.Â
11/14/2023: Currently have Vox and Mystaâs chapter 1 out! Will add everyone elseâs when i have time :)
_______________
You, a royal and the crown heir to the Ninisani Empire. You answer to no one and make your own rules. However, war ravages the country, causing chaos and turmoil. Left with little choice and with much urging from your council, you ultimately decide that the best course of action is to ally yourself with the neighboring Luxiem Regency to help strengthen your army.Â
Now, what exactly might you do now?
_______________
You stand tall, faced with a less than appealing choice. But the council is unyielding and unwavering and their decision stands firm.Â
âYour highness, you must understand that this is what we have determined will help ensure the longevity of the Empire. As the current acting ruler, you must think about what is best for the peopleâŠYOUR people.â
You massage your temples feeling a headache coming on. âI donât understand why I must be wed to Lord Akuma, are we not merely strengthening our army?â Members on the council look around, and you can hear their whispering from where you stand.Â
âThis is a matter of politics. This alliance will help strengthen our empire and can ensure that we will have the support we need in the coming days of the war. You have seen the effect it has had on the people. Your HighnessâŠtheyâre terrified, this is for the best. At most, your marriage with Lord Akuma is only on paper. He has already agreed to these arrangements. Must you be so stubborn?â The head councilman shakes his head at you.Â
You feel your irritation grow as you stare down the head councilman and he squirms under your gaze. The silence grows in the room as everyone stares at you with bated breath, awaiting your decision.Â
âFine.â Your voice rings loud and clear within the hollow chamber, and you can hear sighs of reliefs from some of the other council members, but you choose to ignore it.
The head councilman rises, a smile on his face, âOh wonderful Your Highness! Weâll make arrangements for the wedding immediately.â You wave your hand in his direction, tired of his blathering as you turn back towards the door to leave.Â
âDo what you must.â You close your eyes, the weight of your situation sinking in.Â

Who will you choose?

Vox Akuma {đčđ§§}
The one you're betrothed to
âAs the current acting ruler, you must think about what is best for the people...YOUR peopleâ Those are the words the echo back to you repeatedly, the head councilmanâs voice ringing in your head. You werenât happy with the councilâs decision by any means, but if it meant ensuring the safety of your citizens and it truly was for the greater good then you had no choice but to reluctantly go with his decision. Although this arrangement isnât what you thought you would end up engaged to someone, you find that Vox is gentle and kind. There appears to be more to him then what first meets the eye.
âThat blush on your face is absolutely adorable...it makes me want to ravish you. ....I'm kidding! Naturally I wouldnât do anything unless you were okay with it.â
VOXâS ROUTE: {RED SALVIAS}
{Vox Chapter 1 - [UNLOCKED]} (CW: mentions of being intoxicated)
Mysta Rias {đ”ââïžđŠ}
A lesser lord of the Luxiem Regency, and Voxâs right hand man
It seems that wherever Vox goes, Mysta seems to follow behind him. Heâs sort of an odd fellow to you, with the way his gaze lingers on you. But when you catch him staring for a moment too long, he quickly looks away coughing into his fist or brushing his hair back, a faint flush on his face. When asked about it, he deflects with some lame excuse and immediately tries to change the subject. Even with his prickly exterior, Mysta has never seriously pushed you away from him.Â
âI guess your company isnât so bad. Huh? Youâre telling Vox about this? N-no wait!â
MYSTAâS ROUTE: {FORGET-ME-NOTS}
{Mysta Chapter 1 - [UNLOCKED]}
Ike Eveland {đđ·ïž}
The court scribe
The ever quiet but meticulous scribe of the court. Ike mainly keeps to himself, whether itâs writing away some important on a piece of paper or his nose stuck into some book. He's can be found in the library copying and translating old texts that practically crumble at your fingertips when picked up. If not there, he could be found seated several seats down from you during council meetings to record each and every word uttered out. Though the two of you havenât spoken much, you secretly admire how hard he works.
âDonât you know itâs rude to go through someoneâs personal things without asking first?â
{Ikeâs Route Not Yet Unlocked - English Ivy}
Shu Yamino {đâŻïž}
The powerful sorcerer of the court
The mysterious sorcerer that managed to charm you with his spectacular display of magic. You initially scoffed, thinking it was nothing more than a show of sparkles and nothing more. But to your surprise, he manages to find ways to prove you wrong. On more than one occasion Shu has used his abilities to cure your citizens of what ails them, from an normal everyday fever, to even fixing up an elderly council memberâs bad leg. You begrudgingly admit that maybe he is someone that you could rely on.
âWant me to show you something cool? No? Well your loss then.â
{Shuâs Route Not Yet Unlocked - White Jasmine}
Luca Kaneshiro {đŠđ°}
Your childhood best friend who has a penchant for getting into trouble
Your ever loyal best friend, a notorious playboy with a string of broken hearts left in his wake, even if itâs unintentional. Maybe it was because of his blinding personality and charming demeanor. Youâve always joked that while Luca is the sun, youâre the moon, the counterbalance to his outgoing nature.Â
âHey hey! I know how much you love the flower fields when theyâre blooming, but since youâre so busy and canât see them yourself, I brought them to you!â
{Lucaâs Route Not Yet Unlocked - Yellow Acacias}
-----
Fulgur Ovid {âĄïžđ}
The local bounty hunter who comes and goes as he pleases
There isnât much that you know about him, only the rumors that circulate around the palace grounds, and that heâs one of the empireâs most renowned bounty hunters. From what youâve gathered, no one knows too much about his personal life. With each lead that you pursue, you find that youâre led on one wild goose chase after another.Â
âYouâre a strange one. Tell me, why are you so insistent on following me and trying to get to know me?â
{Fulgurâs Route Not Yet Unlocked - Edelweiss}
Uki Violeta {đźđ}
The peculiar psychic from the market
One of the best fortunetellers in the city, and generally one of the calmest people that you know, with a soft voice and gentle eyes. Youâre a regular at his tent every time you sneak down from the palace. He can see things that others canât and every personsâ future that heâs read seems to have come true in one way or another. Uki can always be found in that same purple tent in the same spot at the market, tarot cards spread over the table. You curiosity to know more and more about him grows with each visit. Â
âCome see me again, Iâll show you more about what your future holds~â
{Ukiâs Route Not Yet Unlocked - Pink Honeysuckle}
Alban Knox {đđ}
The cunning thief you found, trying to steal from Vox's treasury
You couldnât deny that Voxâs treasury was indeed very vast. You happened to come across him one night while you were trying to deposit some of your own valuables for safekeeping. One step into the massive room and youâre making eye contact with a very smug-looking thief. Before you can yell for help, he leaps across the room without making any noise, coming face to face with you, pressing a gloved finger to your lips, shushing you. Youâre left dumbfounded and shocked as you watch him bound back across the room, snatching up a few gems in the process, and then swiftly slipping out the window as if he was never there in the first place. It seemed almost as if that was the last you would see of him. Or so thatâs what you thought.
âHehe youâre an interesting one, maybe Iâll just steal you away instead!â
{Albanâs Route Not Yet Unlocked - Morning Glories}
Sonny Brisko {đđ€Č}
The captain of the royal guard
When Sonny became captain of the royal guard, he never expected to become your personal bodyguard, so to speak. But as the acting ruler of the Ninisani Empire, it was only natural that the council would want you to have someone looking out for you at all times, and who better than one of the best guards. And so Sonny would follow you wherever you went, standing silently off to the side. Unassuming until he was required to step in. He would stand guard outside of your room at night keeping an eye out for threats but not daring to step one foot inside for fear of intruding on your privacy. And so he always keeps an eye on you, even if he has to physically restrain himself from chasing after anyone he deems a threat to your safety.Â
âItâs my job to protect you and I intend on doing just that. No matter what happens Iâll always be by your side.â
{Sonnyâs Route Not Yet Unlocked - Coreopsis}
Yugo Asuma {đ§đ¶}
The bard at the local tavern
On one of your regular nightly escapades, find yourself seeking shelter at a local tavern to shield yourself from the rain. The bar, although of modest size is lively and it appears to be a hotspot for all sorts of people from the city. Feeling overstimulated and maybe even a bit overwhelmed, you make your way to the back corner where you feel you wonât be bothered. Itâs just your luck that you make eye contact with the bard seated on a stool atop the dingy stage.
âI havenât seen you before. Mind if I play you a song?â

Character(s): GN!Reader(no pronouns mentioned), Ike Eveland, Mysta Rias(Platonic), Nina Kosaka(Platonic)

[Part 1]Â Â [Part 2: YOU ARE HERE]
_______________
Youâre Always On My Mind(Pt. 2)
Itâs been a few months since that one stream, and you and Ike have resumed normal relations as per usual. For the most part at the very least, unfortunately for you, you havenât stopped your pining for him which somehow seems to build up more and more with each passing day.Â
Thankfully for you, you found yourself getting away from your computer and streaming for a few days when you found yourself invited to join one of Ninaâs off-collabs. What she failed to mention was that she also invited Ike. So imagine your surprise when you, Mysta, and Nina are all sitting around one mic and Ike bursts through the door with a bababooey. You find yourself at a loss for words silently cursing at Nina but turning back towards the screen, smiling softly. âWell well chat, look what the cat dragged in.âÂ
You hear a noise of protest as Ike takes a seat beside you, shaking his head. Feeling your heart rate speed up exponentially, you turn away from Ike, lest your expression betrays you with how warm it felt. âSo anyways, as I was saying-,â Nina turns back to the screen, a slight smirk on her face.

After stream, you find yourself wandering into the kitchen of the Air BnB, opening the fridge, and popping open a can of coke. You smile fondly as you hear the screams of your fellow coworkers, Fuu-chan's infamous tea kettle wheeze, and Nina cackling echoing from the living room into the kitchen. âProbably playing Mario Kart or something,â you shrug to yourself, moving to close the fridge door. A hand reaches over your shoulder, preventing you from shutting the door. You yelp in surprise, turning around to see Ike leaning over you to grab a can of Coke for himself. Despite reaching over you, Ike seems just as startled as you, seeing you suddenly turn around to come face to face with him. âOh! My bad, I probably should have waited,â he said, a faint flush on his face as rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. You shook your head vigorously, smiling at him, âNah itâs fine, you just caught me off guard.â The two of you stand there in silence until Ike breaks it by cracking open his can. It made a satisfying hissing sound followed up by the sound of Ikeâs small gasp of relief after he took a sip. You couldnât hide the way your eyes trailed down from his lips to his Adamâs Apple bobbing in his throat from each gulp he took, and you had to avert your gaze before your traitorous eyes gave you away.
âWere you going to join them?â you gesture towards the living room area with your head, where you can hear Enna hurling out a string of colorful words demonstrating her vocabulary. Ike shook his head, âIâm actually a bit worn out from my flight, but I wouldnât mind some companyâŠ.someone to talk to,â he smiled gazing at you. You placed a hand on your face as if in mock surprise, âWow! Ike Eveland asking for me specifically? I must be something special hm?â you teased him, a grin on your face. Uncharacteristically, you can see a faint flush on his face as he turns away, âItâs nothing like that, I just like your company. I donât know how to describe it but I feel at ease when Iâm with you. Is that so bad?â You find yourself at a loss for words and you find yourself suddenly chugging your Coke to try and ease up the warmth on your face. Unfortunately for you, you find that you drank it perhaps a little too quickly causing it to go down the wrong pipe. You choke, quickly whipping up your elbow to cover your mouth as you double over trying to stop your coughing. Ike reaches a hand over to rest on the small of your back to help support you.Â
You stand up, grimacing at yourself. âSorry, seeing your friend choke on their drink probably wasnât the way you thought your evening was going to go huh?â You laugh, finding yourself emphasizing the âfriendâ part of your statement. Ike frowned, your words seemingly putting him deep in thought. âFriend? I would argue that youâre more than a friend to me.â You blinked, confused by his words, âWhat do you mean? Thatâs what we are, are we not?â you tilt your head to the side, gazing at him curiously. Ike opens his mouth as if to say something, but stops himself, âI justâŠ.yâknow what nevermind,â he shakes his head, turning around to toss his now empty can of Coke into the recycling bin. You panic a bit, eyes wide as you watch his figure retreat out of the kitchen, âIke? Did I say something wrong?âÂ
Ikeâs steps falter, as he looks over his shoulder at you, a gentle yet somewhat despondent smile gracing his face. âNo, you didnât say anything wrong, donât worry. Iâm gonna go rest, Iâm tired. Goodnight Y/N.â he cuts himself short, heading towards the stairs to go upstairs. You watch him walk up, and for some reason, youâre not entirely sure what compelled you to do so, but you move after him, climbing up the stairs, your heart pounding in your chest. âIke wait!â you barely make it to the top of the stairs, grabbing onto his hand, right as he was going to shut the door. Ike jolts, staring at you in bewilderment, his eyes wide. âIke listen to meâŠ.did I say something that upset you?â
He hesitated, something rare. Usually, Ike was so decisive and quick to make decisions, but at the moment, he seemed so unsure as if he was treading on eggshells. âWellâŠâ he paused, refusing to meet your gaze, âEarlier, when you called me just a friendâŠ.well, for me I would consider us something more than that. Weâve grown pretty close these past few months so I just-â He let out a sigh, trying to recollect himself, âCall me oversensitive, but it just rubbed me the wrong way, I guess. There wasnât anything wrong with what you said, donât worry.â Ike moved as if to continue shutting the door, but you jammed your foot against the bottom, preventing him from doing so. Instead, you pushed it open more, a concerned expression on your face. âIkeâŠ.are you trying to say what I think you are? That youâŠlike me?â Youâre absolutely flabbergasted at your own statement, and you can feel your face flush with warmth involuntarily as you stare at the ground, flustered.Â
âWell, I might as well be truthful at this point. I do, I really do. I like you a lot Y/N. AndâŠwell I thought that, maybe we could have been something a bit more, but what you said earlier, you donât reciprocate my feelings, do you? And thatâs fine, I wouldnât want you to force someone that you donât have feelings for.â You stare at him, unsure of what to say, his words still dawning on you. Tentatively, you took a step forward into his room, and thankfully Ike didnât stop you. "You like me? Youâre not messing with me right?â you ask quietly, as if afraid of hearing his answer.Â
âI do, Iâve liked you for a while now. But I suppose it doesnât matter now,â a hint of bitterness can be heard in his tone, âItâs fine, I have nothing more to say.â He moves to shut the door, but your foot holds steady. Against your better judgment, you press a hand to his cheek, forcing him to look at you. âIkeâŠ.I like you, a lot in fact, and Iâve been scared to tell you about this because I wasnât sure that you would feel the same!â You bite your lip, taking a deep breath to steady your shaky body, âItâs just crazy unfair to me, how I could like you so much,â you added. Realizing how close you were to each other, you moved to give him some space, but his arm wrapped around your waist holding you firmly in place. You can feel him pulling you in closer, his chest pressing against your body. You can hear his breathing against your ear and a light chuckle that escapes his lips. âYouâre adorable, do you know that?â You practically combust on the spot from how close his lips were to yours, all you would have to do is turn slightly and your lips would meet. âA-adorable? Me??â You reluctantly detach yourself from where youâre pressed up against him. âYes, you.â a fond smile dances on his face, his eyes softening as he gazes at you. There is a brief pause before Ike speaks once more, âY/NâŠletâs make what you said about, âfriendâ earlier, null and void. And from now onâŠâ he leans in brushing a hand behind your head, cradling it in his palm, âYou never forget just how much you mean to me.âÂ
Ikeâs lips are on yours and before you realize it, youâre pressed up against the wall, fingers tangled in his hair. You let out a noise of surprise as your mouths move with each other as if in a dance. âDammitâŠâ you hear Ike curse when the two of you part for air. In one swift movement, he takes off his glasses setting them off to the side, continuing to make out with you, his hands running up along your sides. You barely notice when he lifts you up, pulling you towards the bed, his foot, tugging on the door shutting it behind him.Â
Bonus:
The door shutting upstairs wasnât anything alarming to Nina, but judging by the scuffle she could hear from upstairs and the fact that you hadnât come back downstairs told her everything she needed. âI win, you owe me big time,â she grins at Mysta, sticking her tongue out. âGoddammit, fuck me.â He shook his head, âTook them long enough, all that lovey-dovey sexual tension between the two of them was starting to get to me.â
