Chapter Fifteen - Serendipitously

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Masterlist

“Swin…ging his ax… ab…ove his head… The… col… col…col…” Changbin hesitates in his reading, paused at a single word.

True to your word, the two of you continued lessons on reading and writing whenever you had a chance. He picked up on everything so fast, he hardly needed your help anymore. But every now and then, there would be a word or two that tripped him up.

Sitting at the same corner of the table in his quarters, you look down at the book splayed out on the table.

“Ah,” you say, seeing what word he was stopped on. “Colonel. It is a tricky one and there is absolutely no reason for it to be spelled that way.”

Changbin nods sheepishly and continues on, picking up where he left off. “The Colonel brought it down upon the prisoner’s neck, ex… ex-e-cu-ting swift just…ice– justice in front of his p…eople.”

It’s been three weeks since Miroh’s victory at Fort Mire. Since that time, a larger garrison of troops arrived and Changbin has been sending them out to overtake smaller strongholds along the border of Bewaes, just as Chan told him to.

Once the army takes over the stronghold, they set up a garrison and camp out there.

Each time a legion has been deployed, you go with them for the battle. But, each time, you return to Fort Mire.

It has become Miroh’s top base and point of contact as new soldiers arrive.

Another attack was scheduled to leave at first light to march out to a camp north west of Fort Mire.

This will be the fourth camp overtaken if all goes well.

Erbus’ troops have been falling easily– too easily.

After the third victory, alarm bells began ringing in your head. It’s not that Miroh was not strong enough to deliver these sort of victories, no. It was that Erbus was not the type of hold to take these losses lying down.

Changin had instructed Jeongin to stay at the second military camp, Bonereach Blockade. He was put in charge of his own small battalion there. You haven’t seen him in almost eleven days.

Since your arrival in Miroh, this has been the longest stretch of time you’ve gone without seeing the squire. Not a day goes by where you don’t miss his boyishly charming self.

“I will see you soon, then.”

You never were good with goodbyes; always found them awkward and sometimes too emotional. You’re a big fan of leaving without saying anything. But, people have expressed in the past how rude that it can be. Oh, well.

Jeongin stares down at you with a sad smile. A long sigh leaves his nose.

You were to make the day-long trek back to Fort Mire by yourself and you were not looking forward to it.

Ever since that first night, the two of you have been attached at the hip. Stealing kisses left and right, spending whatever time you could with one another.

Not there was much time to do that with all the preparation to be done.

Training had been different, that much is for sure.

“I look forward to it, Y/N.”

You had helped him set up his tent. It was rather grand, you don’t even know if you could just call it a ‘tent’. A full sized bed as well as a desk and a table fit inside.

The commander of a camp gets the master tent.

Earlier, you had teased Jeongin, telling him that perhaps he should invest in laying out a rug. He laughed off your joke and told you not to be jealous.

Just the two of you stood inside, the sun had risen about two hours ago. Really, you need to get going if you want to make it back to Fort Mire by sundown

He takes steps closer to you until your chests are practically touching, sparkling brown eyes gazing down at you.

“I thank you for giving me your time, mercenary.”

You scoff and roll your eyes, crossing your arms over your chest. “You say that as if I will not do so again.”

Jeongin chuckles and wraps both of his arms loosely around your waist. Your hands come up and rest on the soft fabric of his tunic, fingers picking at the pills in the cloth.

“I know for certain that I am not the only man pining for your attention, Y/N.” He whispers down to you.

One of your eyebrows raise and you look at him curiously. Jeongin only shakes his head and dips down to meet your lips in a soft, meaningful kiss.

Your hands slide up his chest and your arms wind around his neck.

He pulls away first, kissing each corner of your mouth, your nose, and then your forehead. “Be safe, Y/N. I hope to see you soon.”

Since then you’ve kept yourself busy, helping Changbin around the keep.

Surprisingly, you’ve spent more time with Hyunjin as well. On nights where you find yourself awake in the wee hours of the morning, you’ll wander down to the courtyard and find him reading in front of a fire or practicing a new spell.

The two of you never speak, you just sit in silence with one another, basking in the other’s presence.

“I never thought about doing an attack like that.” Changbin says to you, bringing your mind back to the present.

“I am sorry, what did you say?”

He’s still looking down at the book on the table. “The character in this book, he swung his ax over his head to create momentum on a downward strike. I never thought about doing that.” He shifts around on his chair, obviously excited.

“See? I told you that there is a plethora of information you can discover by reading books.” You can’t help but smile at him.

“Aye, once again, you were correct.” Changbin looks away from the book and up at you. “I cannot thank you enough for having patience with me, Y/N.”

You reach across the table and place your hand on top of his. “You do not need to thank me, Changbin. It is a pleasure to teach you.”

He flips his hand over on the table; his thick fingers play around with yours absentmindedly. The heat coming off his hand is comfortable and draws your attention.

Changbin stares at your face for a moment longer before looking back down at the book again.

“What is this word?” He points down at the page.

“Which one?”

You scoot your chair even closer to his and peer down at the pages. Your shoulder brushing against his.

Both of you wore comfortable, easy clothes; tunics and soft pants. It was uncomfortable to wear your armor everywhere.

Humming, you read where he was pointing at the book. “Try to sound out the letters, this one is not so difficult.”

He scoffs and rolls his eyes, his fingers coming up to grasp yours playfully. A warm laugh bubbles from your chest.

“I am serious,” you tease. “Attempt it.”

Changbin looks back down at the book, his eyebrows furrowed in concentration as he scans over the letters. “S… Ser… en… end…” He pauses, “endip… serendip…”

“You are doing so well,” you encourage in a whisper. “Keep going.”

Imperceptibly, he squirms a little at your praise.

You’re no longer looking down at the book on the table, you’re staring at the side of his head. Changbin’s lips purse in concentration, the grip on your hand tightens and his knee bounces anxiously.

You squeeze his fingers in fortitude.

“Ser– endip– pit… pit…”

“Remember that ‘t-o-u-s’ makes a ‘ tous’ sound.”

“Serendipi… tous… ly.”

“Now, put it all together.”

“Serendipi…tously. Serendipitously. Serendipitously? Serendipitously!” Changbin shouts excitedly after he’s read the entire word.

Your smile grows impossibly bright and you let out another cheer for him. “Yes! See? Not so hard!”

Changbin squeezes your hand even tighter and pulls it up to his mouth, pressing a kiss to the back of his. The feeling shoots all the way up your arm and through your shoulder.

Goosebumps raise over your flesh and a blush spreads over your cheeks.

He’s too busy celebrating his small victory to notice how much of an effect that kiss had on you.

“At this rate, I will not need another general to read me the correspondence from Chan.” He smiles back down at the book, a wistful expression on his face.

“Aye, you will.” His dark hair had fallen in front of his eyes. You reach forward and brush his bangs away. The soft strands fall over your fingers.

Changin’s dark brown eyes flicker over to you, they catch the light coming from the candle on the table.

“Then, you will be able to read the tomes of old warriors where they discuss their preferred battle strategies.” Your fingers drop from his face and down to your lap, but your other hand stays clasped within his own. “And perhaps, you can write down yours for future military commanders to read long after you are gone from this world.”

He grins, suddenly shy, and looks down at his lap. “I never considered the idea of immortalizing my life in that way.”

“That is because you are too humble, Sir Seo.” You squeeze his hand, the blush on his cheeks darkens a bit. “In years to come, people will sing songs of your greatness. Children will play in the streets with their wooden swords and they will fight over who gets to be you in their fantasies.”

“My victories are not so great.”

“Perhaps not yet.” You chuckle, “You have so much life left to live, so many great battles to win. A year ago the story of Seo Changbin would not have been as thick of a book as it is now. And who knows what will become of those pages by this time next year, next month even.”

Finally, his eyes lift from his lap and look into yours. His cheeks are impossibly red and his eyes impossibly sparkly. He gazes at you as if you hung the moon yourself.

“You flatter me, Y/N.”

“I only speak the truth, Changbin.”

He picks up your hand and holds it with both of his; his fingers playing with yours absentmindedly again.

“Would you read my tales?”

“Who says I am not going to write some of them?”

He leans closer to you.

“Would you sing my songs?”

“I would lead the revelry in the inn in your honor.”

His laugh is hearty and kind. Once more, he brings your hand up to his lips, but this time, it is much more purposeful.

Changbin’s eyes stay locked with yours as he presses the kiss to your skin. You beam at him, and deep down you hope that your eyes are sparkling just like his. His pillowy lips are so soft against your skin.

The flame of the candle dances around in the reflection of his pupils.

Three knocks on the door breaks your eye contact with Changbin. Annoyance causes his eyebrow to twitch and he gently drops your hand.

“Come in!” He calls.

A sight for sore eyes walks into the room.

“Jisung! I was not expecting to see you.” Changbin says, standing up from the table and walking over to the man happily.

You rise from your chair as well, smiling at him.

“It is good to see you too, Changbin.”

The two men clasp forearms in a warm greeting.

“I did not expect to see you anywhere near the front lines.”

“I have actually come to retrieve something for our Jarl.” Jisung explains to Changbin.

“What is it?”

Jisung looks over at you with a sly smile. “I am here for our mercenary.”

Oh, that’s right. You were to return to Miroh in a month after your original departure.

“Has it been a month already?” you ask.

“Just about, Chan gets antsy, I am afraid.”

You shift around on your feet. “But the battle in the morning.”

Changbin raises his hand to stop you. “We can manage without you, Y/N.”

You huff and cross your arms over your chest. “Perhaps, but your victories will not be as speedy or magnificent.”

Both men laugh at your joke.

“I would like to be on the road soon, Y/N, if that is alright.” Jisung says to you.

Reluctantly, you nod. “Aye, I can have my things collected within the hour.”

“That is perfect, I will meet you out in the courtyard then.”

Jisung nods his head to both of you and leaves through the door, leaving you and Changbin by yourselves in the room.

A deep sigh leaves your lungs and you look down at the book on the table.

“Do not sigh like that,” Changbin chides, “I am certain you will be back after you are finished with whatever Chan needs from you.”

“I sure hope that our Jarl allows me to return.”

“He will. I also doubt he will be able to keep you from returning.”

A semi-awkward silence falls over the two of you. You bite your lip anxiously and look around the room, anywhere but at him.

“I will be off then. Best not to keep Jisung waiting.”

You made to move past him, but a soft call of your name made you pause directly next to him, your shoulders brushing.

Changbin turned and looked at you with a flush crawling up his neck. His eyes tracing over each one of your features with a kind warmth. He looks as though he’s trying to memorize each curve of your face.

“Please be safe, Y/N.”

You grin, “I should be saying that to you, Changbin.”

Looking down at the ground, you let thoughts churn in your mind for a moment before turning and quickly wrapping your arms around his chest.

By The Six, he smells so lovely; so earthy and fresh. Rainwater on freshly blooming flowers. Like you fell asleep in a meadow and woke up with the sun and dew covers all of the lily pads in the pond.

Heat radiates through his tunic and leeches onto your skin.

Changbin emits a small gasp of surprise, but he immediately wraps his arms around you in return.

For a man who has arms like tree trunks, his embrace is so soft. Your cheek presses to his chest and you can hear the powerful thuds of his heartbeat.

Its drumbeat sends wave after wave of reassurance.

“I do beseech you to look after yourself in the coming battles, Changbin.”

“I will.”

His voice rumbles through his chest and you feel the vibrations against your ear. Tightening your arms around his body, you press your face further into his fresh scent.

He chuckles and rubs one hand up and down your back in a comforting manner.

“Who would have thought the mercenary would develop a soft spot for her commander?”

You pull away from him slightly and level a blank look at him. “Do not get cocky.”

Changbin pats your back and laughs. “Of course, of course.”

Reluctantly, you pull away from him and take a few steps towards the door. You clear your throat awkwardly and shuffle your weight around.

The commander just stands there, staring at you with that amused smirk on his lips.

“... Do not die.” You say one last time and open the door, shutting it behind you. But, you were still able to hear the hearty laugh that Changbin let out from behind the wood.

----------------------------------------------

“If only Hyunjin came with us, we would not need flint to start a fire.” Jisung complains under his breath.

He’s crouched down next to you, watching as you strike the flint rocks against one another over the pile of firewood and dry leaves.

“If Hyunjin came with us, perhaps the flints would not have been dropped in the river.” You mumble, hitting the rocks together over and over.

“I did not do it purposefully!”

“Sure.”

Despite the words on the harsher side, the air around the two of you is anything but. Every time you’ve been around him, Jisung always gives off such a comfortable aura.

Night had fallen just about two hours ago. You both continued on the road for a bit longer until you decided to set up camp for the night.

“Wet flint should still spark.”

You sputter at his statement. “That is not true.”

“It is.”

You hold out the flint towards him. “Would you like to prove me wrong, then?”

Jisung looks down at the flint, then back up at you, “... Nay.”

“That is what I thought.” You turn back to the firewood and strike the flints over and over again.

Eventually, the rock will dry enough to spark, but it was only about an hour ago that they were dropped into the water.

Jisung watches you in silence, his body crouched down, arms wrapped around his shins. His nose twitches every once in a while.

There was only about three minutes of silence before he spoke up again.

“How have the battles been?”

“Have you not read the correspondence?”

“I have, but I wanted to hear it in your own words.”

You stop hitting the flints for a moment, keeping your eyes cast downwards. “They have been entirely successful. Victory after victory for Miroh.”

“For someone who has been taking part in these victories, your voice is downtrodden.”

Your brows furrow and you bite your lip, weighing your words carefully. Your fingers readjust their grip on the flints.

“It is not that I doubt Miroh’s skill,” you start. “But I have seen Erbus’ forces before. These victories… They are coming too easily. A voice in my mind is calling for attention, it is saying we are overlooking something, that we are blind to an attack to come.”

Jisung watches you carefully, his boots shuffle in the dirt as he readjusts his crouched stance.

You continue on. “Erbus has a higher rank of deadly warriors. I have not seen a single one in all the battles we have fought. These soldiers are marked by two triangles interlocked with one another. It is usually branded into their skin. They’re called the Mercy Division.

“You most likely saw these soldiers the night that you saw soldiers attack those Elves in Erbus. The Mercy Division is typically the group that handles the execution of Elves.”

Jisung looks down at the firewood, his face twisting in distress at the memory.

Swallowing, you pick the flint back up in your hands and strike them against one another even harder.

“Ironic, is it not? The ‘Mercy Division’ causes the most agony and shows none of this so-called ‘mercy’.”

Memories of screams pierce through your brain and your muscles tense. With one particularly rough strike of flint, the sparks fly and land in the brush.

A small fire lights in your campfire.

Both you and Jisung jump to action, blowing air on the small fire to keep it alive. Quickly, it catches and spreads to the logs you placed upon it.

Relief floods through both you and Jisung at the sight.

The two of you stand up and begin shuffling around your tiny campsite. You both set up your bedrolls directly next to the fire to bask in its warmth. You’ve set them up so that when you’re laying down, your heads will be by one another but still both surrounding the fire.

“First light, then?” you ask.

“Aye,” he answers. “Three more days ahead of us after that.”

You nod and scoot down into your bed roll, enveloping yourself in the familiar warmth. You hadn’t slept in this fabric since you shared it with Hyunjin. Heat creeps onto your cheeks at the memory.

Ever since that night, you’ve been able to sleep normally. But still, those few short hours were the most restful you’ve had in years.

Your eyes watch the flames dance around the log, the wood pops and some embers fly around in the air.

“Y/N?” Jisung calls timidly. You hum in response. “What happened to you in Erbus?”

Your brow furrows, “What do you mean?”

“That day in the throne room,” Jisung’s voice is weak and wistful. “You spoke about the cruelty of Erbus towards Elves in great detail. Plus, you know all about the Mercy Division. What happened to you?”

Neither of you look at one another, you’re both watching the fire. Despite your heads being mere inches from one another.

You were lying on your left side, Jisung on his right.

You didn’t speak for a long moment, all of the memories died on your tongue and turned your stomach when you thought about them for too long.

“I apologize, you do not need–”

“It is alright.” You whisper. “It is not a pleasant bedtime story, Jisung.”

“I was always more of a fan of scary campfire stories, anyway.”

His small joke manages to sneak a smirk from you.

“Are you certain you would like to know?”

“Aye. Hearing these stories ignites a fire within me.”

You watch the fire for another couple of moments trying to gather your thoughts.

“I had only seen nine winters when it happened,” you begin. “We had lived in a tiny cottage hidden in the woods. It was only a six minute walk to the lake, three if you ran, two if you were late to dinner.”

Jisung hums a laugh.

“It was just my mother, my father, and I in that one room cottage. My mother was a human, my father was a pureblood Elf. We were so happy for those first nine years. I would go into Erbus’ capital all the time for school and to play with other children; my mother would barter and buy our groceries. My father always stayed home.

“Back then, I knew that I was not allowed to talk about my father, but I did not know why, nonetheless I did not speak of him to anyone else. Whenever we went into the city, my mother would make sure my hair was down and covering my ears. She even made me a cloak with a hood that I could keep up over my head during the winter months.”

You wore that cloak everywhere. It was a beautiful dark green color that made you feel as though you could blend in with the trees.

“I am not certain how it happened. I will never know if we were ratted out by someone in the city or if someone somehow spotted my father, but the Mercy Division showed up one night. My father had caught a glimpse of them through the window as they were marching up to the cottage. He grabbed me from the bed, pulled up the floorboards with his own two hands and placed me in the crawl space underneath the house.

“Both him and my mother kissed my cheeks one last time. They told me under no circumstances am I to leave until the next morning. My father told me to close my eyes and cover my ears and do not make any noise, no matter what, do not make a sound. Do not weep, do not gasp, do not scream, nothing.”

Your throat tightens, the words coming out more strained with each passing moment.

This is the first time you’ve ever talked about this. It’s the first time you were able to. The first time someone’s ever asked.

“Jisung… I will never forget what happened in my family’s cottage that night.”

He flinches. As if you could feel his sorrow, it wafts over to you. Tears build up in your ducts and your eyes begin to burn.

“The Mercy Division. Five of them came to my door. They kicked it down and grabbed both of my parents. My mother and father screamed, begged, pleaded, prayed for benevolence. My father asked that my mother be let go, she was a human, not an Elf, why does she need to be punished?”

Your stomach does a cartwheel.

“‘A human, eh?’ One soldier said. He grabbed my mother by the hair and threw her onto the ground. Two other soldiers held my father’s arms. They did exactly what they did to the women in that village, Jisung. They all took turns with her, violating her body right in front of my father’s eyes. She sobbed so hard she vomited several times, but it did not deter them until they were all satisfied. ”

The tears finally fell and you bare your teeth, gritting to keep the sobs at bay.

“Once they were done they pulled her apart piece by piece, I can still smell it.”

A sob wracks your body and you curl in on yourself in the bedroll.

“I can hear my father screaming until his vocal chords finally collapsed. Then they had their sick fun torturing my father, cut off his ears and shoved them down his throat. Scalped his head and kept him alive as long as they could to prolong the misery.”

Jisung shuffles around in his bedroll for a moment, but your vision is so blurred from the tears rolling out of your eyes that you don’t focus on it.

“I tried so hard to block out the sound, but hands can only do so much.” This last sentence is whispered. “And I had to keep quiet, swallow each cry and bite down every scream of terror. Some nights I sit and wonder what they would have done to me if my father did not hide me. What would they do to a nine year old girl? My imagination runs wild…”

There’s a sudden presence at your back. You feel the fabric of your bedroll being shifted around and a wave of heat overtake you.

Arms wrap around your waist and bring your body back flush against a strong chest.

More and more sobs wrack your chest, Jisung only holds you tighter.

“Apologies,” you sob. “I do not mean to cry like this, I–”

“Hush,” he whispers into your hair and curls around you like a safety blanket. “It is alright to cry.” He sniffles, letting out a sob of his own.

Just like back in the throne room, Jisung cries for these Elven lives that he did not know.

Your sobs are silent, the physical effects of them are the only sign that you’re crying. Your chest stutters and your breathing is extremely shaky.

Through it all, Jisung stays wrapped around your body, unwavering and delivering silent comfort.

Eventually, your cries calmed down.

“I stayed awake all night in shock. I do not remember a single moment from when they left to when the sun rose. But when my mind eventually began working once more, they were gone. The only evidence that the events did occur was their blood staining the floorboards.”

One of Jisung’s hands move from around your waist and rest on your arm, rubbing up and down soothingly.

“I left the cottage and lived on the streets of Erbus’ capital. Begged for gold to eat, and if I could not afford food, I would scavenge the garbage dumps behind the tavern. I think the chef knew what I was doing, some nights full meals would miraculously show up on the cobblestone.”

“And eventually you learned to swing a sword?”

“Aye, there was a fighter’s guild in the city. I would watch them train in the yard for hours. I had a crush on one of the swordsmen.”

You laugh weakly and Jisung does so as well from behind you.

“He was one of the best fighters I have ever seen. Most of the fighting techniques I know now are from watching and mirroring him.”

“What happened to him?”

You hum wistfully. “I am not sure. He left for a job one day and never came back.” You adjust your head on your bedroll. “They held no funeral, so I am not sure if he was killed or simply did not return. But, one day one of his swords was left outside like trash.”

Your head lifts and cranes towards the sword sitting against your pack.

“It is a nice sword,” you laugh and drop your head back to the ground.

Jisung’s fingers dance along your arm. Then, he wraps it around you once more. His face buries in your neck and his knees tuck behind yours.

Both of your bodies are molded together completely.

This should feel awkward, odd, and completely off-putting. But, it’s not.

Instead, your body sinks backwards and falls into his sincerity. You’ve only been around him a few times, and each time his kind eyes always find yours.

Never once has the man behind you made you feel uncomfortable or lesser than him. Even on the first day he met you in Miroh’s Keep.

When Guatier had insulted your intelligence, Jisung’s eyes sparked with his own annoyance that rivaled your own.

Trust is gained slowly, but for some reason, he has had yours from the beginning. Perhaps that’s why it was so easy to open up to him tonight.

Both of you sit in silence, you feel every inhale and exhale, both from his chest against your back and the small puffs of air fanning out over the nape of your neck.

Another log pops, neither of you flinch.

After a long while, you feel Jisung’s breathing even out, the movements of his chest become shallower and his exhales deeper.

You smile weakly and snuggle backwards towards his warm body.

The bedroll felt empty with only one person, anyway.

I want to really start writing love thy enemy chapter 2 but I don't know how to start it. The main point of chapter is done.

I guess I have to make this a drabble. I want to write how Reader Chan met Lyle Wainfleet.

It doesn't add up to the story. I don't want this scene to go to waste. Here you go.

You were admiring the cute little feline animal the Colonel caught for you when he was on tour in the jungle. After you began to date him. He made not only your life but your friend's lives good.

Like today, he and his elite team protected the some scientist while they collected whatever they wanted from the Pandora jungle. Risking their lives for a group of people they hate.

The Marine soldiers were curious why their leader was nice to those science pukes. Of course they couldn't ask their superior.

The Colonel was annoyed that you begged him not to make the relationship public. He felt offended. Were embarrassed to be with him? You told him how you wanted him to speak to your dad first and wait a few weeks. You never loved a man before. Minus the jerk who wanted to marry you back on Earth just for your pretty face. He broke your heart.

So, of course you have trust issues. The Colonel video chatted your dad. Your dad was actually upset. The Colonel was perhaps only ten years younger than him. Might as well be his younger brother and your uncle!

Your dad knew you liked older men. But not this old! But, your father remembered how like your mother. You and her were subjugated all their lives. A pretty doll. That's it. The young generations didn't value love and went for lust only. So, he reluctantly gave his blessings to the Colonel.

The Colonel didn't like your dad. Quaritch felt offended when he saw the rich man look at him with distaste. He didn't need to rub in his age.

Whatever. Your father was a handsome lad, Quaritch admitted. But, Quaritch also pitied the older man. He looked tired from all his philanthropy shit and childish optimism goals. Your father will kill himself from exhaustion.

Now, Quaritch would sneak around the base. Fucking the shit out of you whenever he had the chance no matter how busy you were with your work. He wanted to touch you in public like holding your hand and show affections and yes that included kissing.

From the what the Colonel told you, the feline cat already lost his mom. And you believed his men were not the reason for the mothers death.

So, you were playing with it while waiting for Max to record some video logs Jake was producing.

"Hey." A male voice boomed.

You looked up to see a shaved head Marine with muscles and tattoos. Is he a friend of Jake?

"Mind if I touch your pussy?" He grinned.

Everyone around the room became quiet. Your mouth dropped in shock. You never been insulted so bluntly and in public before. Not even on Earth!

The jerk snickered at your expression. "I meant your cat." He pointed at the now hissing feline.

You glared and stood up. He blinked and wondered what will you do. You slapped him! His face was moved to the side.

"Get away from her!" Jake yelled while he rolled his wheelchair over to you.

The bald guy turned his face back at you and held his hands up in mocking surrender. He told Jake that the Colonel wanted to speak with him.

They both left the lab and all your friends huddled over to comfort you. You were shaking and still scared that you were sexually harassed in broad daylight.

The Colonel spoke to Jake and then noticed something was off. Lyle and Jake never got along but the tension was worse. Whatever. He got enough problems on his plate.

The Colonel was upset that you were not in his office. It was his lunch break. He told you to meet him there.

He got annoyed when you didn't text back and he had enough. He rudely barged in the science wing of the other pukes. He ignored the stares when the other scientists noticed his presence in their lab bedrooms.

He kicked your door open.

He found you in your bed with that short and fat scientist Max and another female Medic rubbing your shoulder. You looked up with your teary eyes to see your secret lover.

The Colonel ordered your friends to leave.

"The Fuck were you?" His eyes softened when he saw your dead expression. Your boyfriend sat next to you in your bed.

You blurted what happened.

"What did the soldier look like?"

Quaritch was angry when you described him as his Marine.

You shrugged. "I don't know. He said you sent him to pick up Sully for a report."

In cold fury, Quaritch clenched his jaw. "Lyle." He hissed.

The Colonel grabbed your chin and made you look at him. "I am going to make us public. I don't know why you want to keep this a secret. You're not safe unless people know you belong to me."

Your eyes widened. It's too soon. You didn't tell your friends yet.

"But ..."

The Colonel's look made you shut up.

He told you how you are to go his room immediately. You better be there when he comes back. He will send female staff soldiers to bring your belongings to his quarters. Or should you say your quarters.

While you were waiting for your boyfriend at his room. The Colonel was looking for Lyle. He went to the gym. The bunks and then the pilot garage.

There stood Wainfleet and other soldiers.

When they saw the Colonel walk they saluted him with respect. The Colonel wordlessly punched Lyle in the abs which caused him to clutch his stomach from pain.

The others stared in shock.

"Stay away from my girl." Quaritch snarled as he looked down at Wainfleet's pathetic form on the ground.

Lyle looked up in confusion.

Quaritch explained. "Name belongs to me. If I catch you disrespecting her again you will be resigned from your corporal status."

He looked at the others. "That goes for the rest of you."

"Yes, Sir!" They said in unison.

You were sitting on the king sized bed of your new room. You watched buff female staff bring in your belongings and your cat was sleeping on your lap.

The Colonel came in and visibly relaxed after seeing you obey him. He didn't wait for the staff to leave. He sat next to you and kissed you. "I am sorry I couldn't protect you. But, it's your fault in a way. If everyone knew about us. They wouldn't hurt you."

You laid your head on his shoulder blade. "I'm sorry for being foolish."

He wrapped his arm around you. He knew the female staff would gossip. Good. Everyone must know who you belonged to.

He was still on his lunch break...

The Colonel smirked. He ordered the staff to leave and stripped you and noticed the cat staring at him as he nailed into you.

This was why the Colonel preferred dogs.

. . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 ࿐ྂ

Pairing: Mikaela Hyakuya X afab!Reader

Sypnosis: On one fateful night, MC encountered a certain vampire she didn't expect to meet during her guard duty.

Word Count: 1,693

"When will Yu-kun and the others arrive?" You yawned while sitting on a branch of the tree outside the walls. You were given a guard duty at night for any signs of vampires. Of course, you hated the job and you are not that skilled at close combat. That's why you choose a cursed gear suitable for you, a bow. Even though you despise the job given to you, you can't argue back with Lieutenant Colonel Ichinose since orders are orders. "Damn that Guren bastard" You hissed while surveying the area. It is quite silent, but that's a good thing for you because you can enter your world of thoughts without any distractions. But of course, you had to stay alert for any Horsemen of John or vampires. "I freakin' hate this job" Your eyebrows twitched in annoyance as you tried to calm your mind.

Mika. That's the first thing that crossed your mind. Mikaela, Yuichiro and you are orphans of Hyakuya Orphanage. You still remember how close you were to Mika when you were sent to the orphanage. Both of your parents despise you, they even tried to kill you when you were still young. They said that you are a demon, a 'Seraph of the End', and that's the reason you have to die. Being young back then, you didn't understand what they meant. After your parents committed suicide, you were sent to the orphanage. You still remember how you cried on him when you met him.

~Flashback

"Okay, children, [Name]-chan will be one of our family starting today. So please make friends with her" The director told the children who were standing in the room, she held both of your shoulders while you looked away with a slight blush. "Yes!" A boy with blonde hair and blue eyes responded with a smile, all the other children copied him. The director left you and went to the kitchen, you stood there for a while, surveying every face of the children and the decor of the room. "Hi [Name]-chan! I'm Mikaela, I'm an orphan just like you but I have a big family now" The blonde boy went to you and held out his hand to you. "H-hi..." You shook his hand while forcing a smile. "Say, why were you sent here?" He asked. Your eyes widened at his sudden question, trying to hold back tears when you remembered that your parents were trying to kill you. You looked away from him and covered your watery eyes with the help of your bangs. "[Name]-chan, are you okay?" He asked worriedly, he thought that the question he asked you might trigger bad memories.

"I'm sorr--" You instantly hugged him while crying, surprising him on the spot. "I'm okay," You told him as you shook your head. He placed his hand on your head and then gently rubbed it. "My parents tried to kill me because I'm a demon, but one day, they committed suicide then I was sent here" You explained while crying on his back. "It must be tough, huh? But don't worry, we're your new family" Mika comforted you while cheering you up. "Yeah, thanks" You pulled away from him and then wiped away your tears. "By the way, you're not a demon. For me, you're an angel" Mika flashed you a heart-warming smile which made your heart skip a beat. "T-thanks..." You flushed red while looking down.

Then after that, the two of you grew close to each other, and then Yu came along too. Yu is just like you, his parents tried to kill him because he's a demon. That's why he acts like a jerk, not wanting to accept his new family. But Mika is Mika, he befriended the stubborn Yu and convinces him that the Hyakuya Orphanage is one big family.

~End of Flashback

But you know that you lived in a cruel world, all the happiness that you had vanished. Deadly viruses spread and killed humans, leaving only children that are 13 and younger. The vampires had captured you and your family, treating all the children as livestock. But the most horrifying thing that happened was when one vampire killed your family. Mika planned to escape with your whole family, but somehow, it was just a trap. When inside the vampire's estate, he killed all the younger children that were with you. Even Mika. He sacrificed himself for you and the stubborn black haired to escape. You felt really guilty that you left your family there while you were now here, alive. The memory haunts you every night, making it a nightmare. And you only had one reason to live; revenge. Yu also had the same intent, killing all the vampires is his goal. Because he is the only one left, you promised yourself to protect your remaining family.

"Seraph of the end, what the hell is that exactly?" You clenched your fist because of the idea. You heard from Major General Hiragi that the seraph of the end is some sort of plan to end the world. And most of all, you are actually worried when Yu was put into a coma for a week. You don't actually know the details, but Shinoa mentioned something about transformation and demons. Yu-kun, please don't do things that might end your life. When you heard some noises from the deserted city, you snapped out of your thoughts and then held your bow tightly, getting ready to attack. You raised your bow at shoulder level then pulled the string back, and a green arrow appeared. You steadied your stance while waiting for the right time to attack. I just hope I won't mess up or else I'm dead. Sweat appears on your forehead as you try to calm your speeding heart. Once you saw a glimpse of a white cloak, you released the string. The arrow went straight to the vampire at a blazing speed.

"Did I do it?" You muttered to yourself after your attack, lowering the bow, and sighed in relief. But when the arrow neared the vampire, he blocked it with his sword. "Shit! I messed up!" You stood up from the branch as you held your bow tightly. The vampire noticed your presence and then looked your way. Shit, shit, shit, shit! I have to escape or-- "Huh?" Your eyes widened as the wind passed you by, you felt a presence behind you and tried to attack. You swung your right leg behind to get the vampire off the branch somehow, but your swing was too late and he caught your leg. "Let go of me!" You screeched as the vampire held your ankle tightly. "Gah!" You screamed as he crushed your bone.

Your bow vanished from your hand as your face showed agony. Clenching your fist, you aimed it at the vampire but he caught your attack once again. You shot him a hard glare when your head turned to face him, but then your eyes widened at the male before you. "M-Mika...?" You muttered softly as you saw the blonde male with blue eyes, staring back at you with also widened eyes. "[N-name]....chan?" He muttered as well before releasing his grip on your hand and ankle. "Mika-kun! It's you!" You hugged him tightly while tears formed in your eyes. The said male placed his arms around your waist. "I can't believe it! You're alive!" You said with ecstatic, forgetting about the pain in your ankle. "Yes. I'm alive" He said softly, a smile gracing upon his lips.

"B-but how? And why did you become a vampire?" You pulled away from him and wiped away your tears. "Didn't Yu-chan tell you?" His eyes widened in shock, and you shook your head. "Yu-kun has been in a coma for a week after the battle. But he's okay now" You explained to him with a smile. "I see..." The blonde sighed in relief. "So... What happened then?" You asked him again, [e/c] orbs contain anguish, sorrow, and depression when you looked into his cerulean ones. "I..... I was turned into a vampire against my will..." His blue orbs trailed down, avoiding your gaze. "Well, vampire or not, you're still Mika-kun. Having you alive means so much to us, to me" You went to him and gave him another warm and welcoming hug. He stiffened for a moment at your touch, while his cheeks heated and heart rapidly pounding. "After all these years, Yu-kun and I found our lost family. I am so happy" You buried your face into his chest, and you can hear the fast beating of his heart.

"After all these years, I've always thought of you," You said, hugging him tightly. Mika listened closely to what you were saying. "After all these years, I never thought that I would see you again" You continued. He placed his hand on your head and rubbed it gently. "After all these years, here you are, standing in front of me. Embracing me in your arms" You whispered the last part a bit, but still audible to Mika. "I never thought that I would fall in love with my family, even when I was too late to confess" You looked at him in the eyes, you can say that he was surprised by your sudden confession. Tears bubbled in the corner of your eyes as your cheeks flushed with embarrassment. After a while of watching his expression, you pulled away and turned your back to him. "Sorry, I know you might say that I'm stupid" You wiped away the tears as you tried to calm yourself down.

"I--" When you turned around to face him again, he suddenly hugged you much to your surprise. "After all these years, I am still stupid enough not to know your true feelings towards me," He said, hugging you tighter. "[Name]-chan..." He whispered in your ear. "Yes?" You asked while rubbing his back gently. "I love you" He confessed, and you smiled to yourself. "I love you too..."

Q&A corner with Noda Satoru from Shueisha Online

things that didn’t make it into the fanbook. i combined them into one post after all, part 2 is at the bottom. scroll a bit if you've already read part 1. original here and here

posting anywhere is fine, but please credit me.

Q: Please tell us about the characters "secrets" that 99.9999% of the readers would be happy to know.

Noda: Sure. When we were creating the official fanbook, we asked people to send in questions, and we received and incredible amount. I read through about 2200 of them, and the most common one was "please tell us the characters' penis size rankings".

"Oh my, how lewd", I thought.

Q: Considering there was only one question per person allowed, why would they waste such a precious chance on such a thing?

Noda: I have no clue. But I gave serious thought to the question regardless, because this is what the readers want to know the most, after all. So, I will announce the most recent penis size ranking:

Ushiyama > Tanigaki > Boutarou > Kiroranke > Kikuta > Ariko > Ienaga > Vasily > Nihei > Lightning Bandit > Tsukishima > Tsurumi

The rest are roughly the same. Sugimoto, Ogata, Usami, Hijikata, Koito are all average-sized. Shiraishi's is a little smaller than average.

Q: In the official fanbook, you named Tanigaki, Ushiyama, Kiroranke and Kikuta as the "four heavenly kings of having big dicks", but it seems that Boutarou has leapt to the top. Ariko Ipopte also looks like he'd be packing... Hmm, very interesting indeed...

Noda: Yes. Boutarou is tall and has long and slender limbs, so naturally he'd also have a long and slender penis. It wasn't simply about the size though, it was more about how good the dick is.

Q: I see. Were there any other question that piqued your interest?

Noda: Alright, using this chance I'll just answer some questions that couldn't make it into the fanbook due to the page limit.

Q: In volume 20, during Koito's kidnapping, why did Ogata, disguised as a Russian, put his hand on Koito's back and leaned in close when the latter was on the phone with his father? Was it because Ogata, who wasn't loved by his father, saw himself in Koito during that moment?

Noda: Exactly. But he also had a huge smile on his face under his mask during that scene.

Q: Share what are your top 3 favorite scenes with Genjirou.

Noda: Chapter 120, where the emotionally unstable Genjirou-chan kept confusing bokke with bokki (boner). 60 points on the cuteness scale.

Chapter 146, where Genjirou-chan's fully stretched dick is rapidly cooled on the ground after he exited the Russian steam bath, banya. 80 points on the cuteness scale.

Chapter 230, where Genjiro-chan is carrying Inkarmat and encouraging her by telling her that everything is going to be okay. 100 points on the cuteness scale.

Chapter 43, where Genjirou-chan is trying to express his gratitude to Huci for helping him after being attacked by Ogata, and ends up crying. 20.000 points on the cuteness scale.

Q: Please tell us of some mundane things about Superior Private Ogata that only the 7th division members know.

Noda: One time Usami pulled his leg; he called Ogata to the training grounds and stood him up. When he got there nobody met up with him, and Ogata ended up waiting alone for a long time.

During the Russo-Japanese war, he didn't notice that an enemy bullet left a small hole in his mess kit, so the rice he put there ended up being dry and hard.

Q: What was the intention behind making Tsurumi a Second Lieutenant instead of a Lieutenant Colonel or something?

Noda: Because he wouldn't have fought personally in the war if he were a Colonel. There's a difference between a superior officer who fights side to side with his underlings, covered in blood, and a superior officer who commands from the rear. It would have had an effect on the attitude of Tsurumi's subordinates towards him.

By the way, intelligence officers received about two ranks higher the amount of pay than regular Second Lieutenants, or so it seems. So he was esteemed as a Colonel anyway.

Q: Ushiyama's modus operandi seems to be just throwing stuff around. How does he feel about ghosts and such, things that wouldn't yield under physical attack?

Noda: He was bad with stuff about ghosts. Sugimoto's shitty ghost stories seemed to scare him.

Part 2

Q: Has Tsukishima kept the letters he got from Igogusa-chan during the Sino-Japanese war?

Noda: He threw all of them away. I decided against them ever meeting again, even on accident. Tsukishima is the best when he can concentrate on his duty. However, given that what he threw away was just too great, I wanted him to give his all to Tsurumi; I wanted him to sacrifice his everything in order to achieve his goals.

Tsurumi's monologue that Tsukishima eavesdropped on was everything that he ever wanted to hear, this is why there was a sparkle in his eyes. I wanted him to enter the last battle at Hakodate full of determination.

Q: At times, when Koito goes on his rants, the text is absolutely illegible, but you can hear what he's saying in the anime. Is it anime original, or do they follow the instructions that you have given them? Will that happen in the future too?

Noda: Of course, the anime staff always asks me what lines they should use there.

Q: In chapter 243, Kikuta commented that Ogata and Hanazawa seemed to have gotten along well. What would the two of them talk about in their time together?

Noda: Yuusaku would talk about exciting daily life occurrences, about things he liked, about delicious things he ate while out in the city, about the weather. All Ogata did was ask questions about their father.

Q: If the cast were students, what school clubs would they be part of?

Noda: Sugimoto would be forward in ice hockey. Shiraishi would be in gymnastics. Asirpa-san would be in middle-distance track and field. Ogata would be center in volleyball. Ushiyama would be in hammer throw, as you could have guessed. Kiroranke would be in basketball. Tsukishima would be defender in soccer, and Koito forward. Kadokura and Kirawus would be in table tennis.

Tanigaki and Boutarou would be on the water polo team, and Tanigaki would get stuck in the pool this one time after Boutarou ripped his pants. Inkarmat, on the concert band, while cheering on him would witness that and be like, "Oh my, look, there's an oboe there!".

Tanigaki would get beet red and hide behind his teammate Ariko while trying to get out of the pool. However Usami from the opposite team would push him back into the water, and before you know it both their dicks are out, and then they’d be like, “Oh, this is so embarrassing”. Morons.

THE CREATOR

First, if you’ve seen some of the headlines for reviews of “The Creator”, it’s not as bad as it sounds. But is the story new or original… no.

The good stuff?

I first saw John David Washington (Denzel’s son) in “Tenet”. I liked him there, and that why I gave this movie the benefit of the doubt. And yes, he’s good here too.

Madeleine Yuna Voyles played a child-size robot (a Simulent). She cute and at first it was hard to tell if that was the extent of her talent, but as the movie progressed, she had some very emotional scenes and handled them like a seasoned pro.

Super-hero movies have been bashed lately for bad special effects, but here the effects are well done - mostly robot, flying vehicles, and futuristic sky scrapers. Except for a few goofy looking robots, the art design is great and they are well executed.

The bad?

Artificial Intelligence has been portrayed as cinematic baddies since before the Terminator. This movie tries to paint the US government as the villains but it feels heavy handed. It uses the Viet Nam war as its model.

Every war movie has a hard ass colonel calling the shots and committing atrocities. Here the colonel is played by Allison Janney. She’s pretty one-dimensional, spitting out bullets and eating baby robots. (Kidding!!)

If the writer and director were trying to tell a new story, why were there so many well worn tropes? Once you notice them - they telegraph what will happen next. For instance, Joshua (Washington) is searching for his wife played by Gemma Chan. He thought died five years earlier. She had been pregnant with his child at the time. Washington then finds a child robot who he uses to find his wife. He keeps saying he wishes to see Chan one last time. Meanwhile girl robot just happens to look the age of his child had she lived… you can connect the dots.

Several plot point didn’t make sense. Why do the robots have an on-off switch that’s easily accessible at the side of their heads? During the climactic scenes (which took too long) there is a giant MacGuffin floating above Los Angeles. Over the course of what could only have been an hour, the MacGuffin is suddenly over Southeast Asia - how did it get there so fast?!?

While I won’t spell out the end, remember when I said Joshua keeps saying he wished to see his wife one last time? Be careful what you wish for!

What's behind...

Still on that road, I’m back for some background inspiration/maybe I’m little too much into music/my guys have personal playlist stuff. Today we’re going to Versos de Placer, this piece of messy cops and dead bodies and Horacio Carrillo.

--------------------------

Versos de Placer - Colonel Horacio Carrillo

Yeah, well, we all know the synopsis of this story, right? A Colombian man with dubious ethics and a gringa with daddy issues who have sex. It’s my first Carrillo’ fic and we all know how much I adore Maurice in Narcos. Boom, boom, let’s goooooo 💃

--------------------------

VERSOS DE PLACER - MAYE

Well, I think the name said it 😂😂😂 But it’s kinda curious and delightful to use that song as my first big break on Tumblr, especially with Carrillo who’s a character I personally like a lot. I mentioned an excerpt from it when I made a moodboard for this fanfic a while ago.

Versos de Placer talks about finding an unexpected love, something that no one was looking for but found in a remarkable and true way. Although the story has not yet been so evident in this regard, I have been reinforcing important signs of the characters' expectations and yearnings for this feeling.

Yo que no te busqué (I did not look for you)

Sin querer te encontré (I accidentally found you)

Me escapó (I run)

A dónde tú estés (where you are)

Una y otra vez (over and over)

More than just the classic “Found you on my worst, you gave me new meaning”, I believe that Carrillo is the type of character who doesn’t mind love. It’s just there for him, sometimes, and he gets used to it since he lives a life of danger, like he rationalized it. The relationship he builds with reader is purely rational and even in the moments of desire or sentimental sharing, in the end they both don’t know what is the next step - they just know something is there and it’s good.

TÚ - MAYE

Like most writers, I was kind of in a moment when I started writing Versos de Placer. I'm not there anymore, but for all intents and purposes I can say that this particular singer was an inspiration. Firstly because she sings in Spanish and secondly because she's good - I thought that made sense.

Todo lo que pasa es relativo (Everything that happens is relative)

Pero cada vez que estoy contigo (But every time I'm with you)

El tiempo se detiene (The time stops)

Y desaparece (And disappears)

Ya no me hace falta nada más (I don’t need anything else)

Si lo más difícil de encontrar (If the hardest to find)

Lo encontré contigo (I found with you)

Writing to certain couples is like catching glimpses of a future. If I could define a timeline of the story, Versos de Placer would begin and Tú would end, like a moment in which they move from uncertainty to an absolute truth. I'm a sucker for love stories with happy endings - with fidelity, devotion, contact. And perhaps someone may disagree, but I see Carrillo as the type of man who doesn't love unless it's like that, because as I already said, for him love is a palpable feeling and there was no other way to experience it than in total effort.

This song has a soft, hopeful tone, like a calm, warm love - like driving down the road with the sea breeze on your face, no music but the sound of the wind. I think they both deserve it. Carrillo deserves it.

CHAN CHAN - BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB

Latin culture is very rich - A LOT. As a Latina woman, I love learning about everything Latin American countries have to offer and I like to talk about it whenever I can, as a historical reparation or just... because. I won't dwell on this, everyone already knows.

I chose this song, but I'm not going to put the lyrics because it's not necessarily what they say, but the intention behind it. Buena Vista Club is a Cuban group and the music, in general, portrays the experience in Cuba. Still, the choice of instruments, the vocal intonation, the musical rhythm, everything always led me to a Carrillo who, unable to consume foreign culture beyond what was strictly necessary, would listen to this. On days in a good mood (rare and very vague) he would hum the song while doing everyday things.

This song is an experience. Listen if you can.

INTIMIDADE - LINIKER E OS CARAMELOWS

Liniker is a Brazilian trans singer who has already become a reference and probably a part of the history of my country. I adore her. Like, she's a goddess. I think that anyone who would think about learning more about our music should start or at least go through her work.

This song is a production with the band that accompanied it, the "Caramelows", and they had such an incredible repertoire.

Vem me visitar de madrugada (Come visit me early in the morning)

Colocar tua mão em mim que eu deixo (Put your hand on me and I'll let you)

Sem pressa você chega e fica (No rush, you arrive and stay)

Eu finco afeto nesse peito (I plant affection in this chest)

Soma, mas não some, fica e a gente dorme (Add up, but don't disappear, stay and we sleep)

Incenso a casa com alecrim (Home incense with rosemary)

The name of the song is very intuitive - Intimacy. To stay together. To share. I don't know, it makes sense. In a context where Carrillo is a man with many rough edges, I think a good thing about many stories is to explore this. It's not my focus, but I can certainly recommend others that address the subject better. This song is more of a recommendation, an immersion into what a relationship with Carrillo could be if nothing were... Well, if we created him.

----------------------------------------------------

P.S.

I'm taking steps back with my posts here, but I'm not on hiatus. I've been owing this for months and only now have I found the strength to finish it, so you can imagine what my pace has been like lately. This IS NOT an apology, even though it's not a secret (I've always been very clear about my pace), I'm not sorry either. Sometimes life happens and that's normal.

I'm specifically working on Bossa Nova, because I also took steps back with Versos de Placer for the sake of the story; as I said above, I'm not at the same point as I was when I started it.

I have a request on my list that I will do as soon as I can. The second part of the last chapter I wrote of Versos de Placer will come out when I'm ready, because it's going to be a turning point and as we're in the final stretch, I want to be more sure of what I want to do. You understand.

The weather is strange around the world, so take care! I'll be around, but a little more off.

Stay safe!
