The villain laughs. "The Chosen One cannot spill blood on holy ground. I have won!" You draw your blade. "The Chosen One died the first day of our journey," you say. "A Valet may spill blood where he pleases."

How to show emotions

Part V

How to show grief

a vacant look

slack facial expressions

shaky hands

trembling lips

swallowing

struggling to breathe

tears rolling down their cheeks

How to show fondness

smiling with their mouth and their eyes

softening their features

cannot keep their eyes off of the object of their fondness

sometimes pouting the lips a bit

reaching out, wanting to touch them

How to show envy

narrowing their eyes

rolling their eyes

raising their eyebrows

grinding their teeth

tightening jaw

chin poking out

pouting their lips

forced smiling

crossing arms

shifting their gaze

clenching their fists

tensing their muscles

then becoming restless/fidgeting

swallowing hard

stiffening

holding their breath

blinking rapidly

exhaling sharply

How to show regret

scrubbing a hand over the face

sighing heavily

downturned mouth

slightly bending over

shoulders hanging low

hands falling to the sides

a pained expression

heavy eyes

staring down at their feet

Part I + Part II + Part III + Part IV

[villainousauthor]

Hero struggles against the hold currently keeping them down, their joints ache, and they feel beyond fatigued.

"You're off your game today." Villain's voice is observant and factual. Not quite judgemental, though. Their grip doesn't relent, holding Hero down.

"I'm fine. Don't go worrying your pretty little head about me." They wave their hand dismissively, but Villain then wrenches it down as well. They scoff.

"I never said I was worried." Villain's gaze is intense, examining Hero closely, making them feel akin to a bug under a magnifying glass. The ache in their body only gets worse, the pain in their chest leaving them breathless.

Their critical gaze sweeps over Hero, not missing anything. "You have another rash on your face." They speak as they brush a thumb across Hero's cheek. "Are you having another flare up?"

Hero pushes their hand away. "You seem like someone who's worried. Or maybe just too nosy." Nosy is an understatement in Hero's mind. Villain apparently did some digging, got ahold of their medical files a while back like menace they are.

Now, they do a good job of infuriating Hero with their concern that they pretend isn't concern. Hero doesn't care if they're technically right, or if they know they should be resting.

Villain's frown deepens.

"You know exerting yourself when you're not feeling well will only worsen it. It's like 90 degrees out today, and you thought it was a good idea to come fight me?" Their voice is stern, unwavering. "What's the pain at today?"

"Like you know so much about my condition?" Hero scoffs, knowing very well they've made a point to understand it better than most in Hero's life. "Why do you care?"

"Answer my question."

Hero tries to sit up despite Villain's steel hold. "Why don't you use it against me like a normal nemesis? Why care?"

Pushing them down again, Villain's voice is firmer. "I don't care. Answer my question." They'll hear no argument in the moment.

"About a five today." Hero rolls their eyes, trying to pretend the tiredness and pain isn't affecting them that much. Of course, it doesn't fool their rival, though.

Villain leans back, examining their face. After a moment they speak.

"Okay. You're gonna go home and rest. It's no fun fighting you when you're already in pain." And like that, they're letting go of their hold on Hero.

"You can't make me -"

"If I catch you doing any hero work today, I will kick your ass, and since I know that's not enough to convince you, I'll then go and kill your friends." Their voice holds no sense of dishonesty or bluffing.

Villain grabs them by the chin, forcing Hero to look them in the eye. "Go home, or I'll drag you there myself."

"You're rejecting me?" Prompts

“Have you ever wondered about - I don’t know… - what could have been had I not rejected you back then?”

“You’re rejecting me? Me? Do you not know who I am?”

“One of these days, I will stop trying.”

“Are you saying that you never got rejected before? Lucky.”

“I knew this would happen. Anytime I dare to dream - BAM! - it gets crushed.”

“I’ve never seen you taking a rejection so poorly before.”

“That was brutal.” “I was just being honest.” “Still. You didn’t have to be a jerk about it.”

“You already said it all when you rejected me back at the–” “Rejected you? What are talking about?”

“I take it back.” “What?” “My words. I take them back.”

“I don’t know what else to say or do for them to realize that there will never be anything between us.”

“I reject any and all realities where you don’t agree to give me - us - a chance.”

“You thought I was hitting on you? That’s just ridiculous.”

“I thought I could handle it, being around them after that. But… I don’t think I’m doing all too well.”

“I feel awful. Their face when I-” “You did the right thing by telling them that you feel differently.”

“Can I ask you a question? For future reference? What about my approach made you not want to get to know me?”

“It’s been weeks since–” “They trampled all over my heart? And my dignity?” “It’s time to get back up, don’t you think?”

“I’m not strong enough to say ‘no’ to them.”

“Nice. Another humiliation/rejection to add to the pile.”

“No, no. I do. Believe me, I do genuinely like you. It’s just… Ugh. This will sound like a lame excuse, but… I’m not yet ready. Not for you. Not for us.”

“I’m not afraid of getting rejected. I just… don’t want to bother them.”

“I… I don’t think I can give you that. I’m sorry.”

“So now that they rejected you, you think you can just come crawling back to me?”

“I completely understand if you need some space.”

“Why? Why do you think we wouldn’t work?”

“I would never reject you. Never.”

“Why would I keep chasing you? You already said you’re not interested.”

“Be honest with me: Am I a complete mess? Because that rejection just made me want them even more.”

“I’m going to pretend they are in a relationship and that that’s why they rejected me.”

“Damn. Bringing up my childhood trauma would have been less painful than this.”

“Are we going to be okay? I don’t want this to have changed anything between us.”

“Still. I’m glad I said something.”

“You deserve the best. And that’s… That’s not me.”

“You know what I think? I think you’re scared.” 

“All good. You reciprocating would have been far scarier anyway, so I’m… almost glad you don’t.”

Prompt #69

“Oh, come on, you can’t be putting handcuffs on me right after we had our first kiss!” The villain whined, struggling against the metal bracelets.

The hero tightened their grip on the villain’s wrists. “Only a distraction, sweetheart.” They chuckled.

The villain rolled their eyes, scoffing. “Don’t lie. I know you liked it.” They clenched their jaw, feeling a little worked up.

“Maybe.” The hero smirked teasingly.

The villain groaned. They were so fucked. They tried again. “Not even a little?” They asked in a quieter voice, aiming to get even a bit of the hero’s soft side. But, really, they wanted to know.

The hero grinned, seeing through their words. They shrugged, not giving anything away, the grin only widening on their lips.

The villain huffed, as they were gently pushed into the back of the hero’s car. “You’re so cruel.” They mumbled, slightly pouting.

The hero got in and winked, charming as always, and took off.

"I don't get it," says the demon, "This person's lived a perfectly good and virtuous life. Why are you sending them to hell?" The angel nervously rubs the back of their head. "Honestly? We're pretty sure they'd be happier in hell than heaven."

"You killed them." It wasn't a question. Hero tries to keep their voice steady.

Villain doesn't try to deny it. "I did. Does that upset you?" They step closer.

Hero's limbs shake, but they hope it isn't obvious. "Why? You don't go after other villains or criminals."

"I do when they get in my way. When they upset me. That little nuisance was getting too attached to you." They take one, two, three steps forward. "You're my nemesis, no one else's."

Hero feels themselves being backed against the wall, Villain's encroaching form intimidating.

"Murder is the solution to your jealousy?" Hero says, looking up and meeting Villain's fire filled eyes.

Villain purses their lips, furrows their brows. "Are you upset?" They ask, as if they don't like the idea of Hero being upset over the death of someone they consider competition.

"I don't like murder, as a general rule, you know." Hero tries to keep their tone casual, quipping.

Villain completely backs them against the wall, bracing them in. Their close proximity feels both intimate and threatening at the same time. They're silent for an endlessly long and tense moment before speaking again in a low voice.

"Don't pay so much attention to others then. I don't share."

Prompt 27

Geralt is fighting a mage who takes his memory of the last 30 or so years and plops it in a jar before fucking off. Geralt is confused, but even moreso when he returns camp and some guy in obnoxious clothing is waiting for him. The man gasps at Geralt's appearance - No big deal, humans always do - Before rushing over to him and pouncing to attack. Geralt does the smart thing and flings the human away. The human slides in the dirt a bit and looks up at him with hurt in his expression, which is... odd. Roach also seems a bit peeved. Maybe because there's a strange man in their camp? "Geralt, what's gotten into you? That- That was rather rude. You could've just said you didn't want me to hug you today." "Today?" "Yes, Geralt! I hug you after every hunt gone well! Every day! What are you, a doppler?" "Are you?" "Hah hah, very funny Geralt, I'm laughing, truly, I am." "...How do you know my name?" And suddenly the human looks very worried. "Oh fuck- Did you hit your head or something!? Do you have a concussion? Can witchers even get concussions!?" The bright man screeches, reaching for him again. Geralt very awkwardly flails his arm up to swat his hand away with a harsh "Don't touch me." and the man glares at him, before slowly just looking... sad. Deep down, Geralt dislikes seeing this man look upset. It causes this odd ache deep to his core. Geralt begins interrogating this man about why and how he knows him, and the man keeps talking to Geralt as if he's some poor wet puppy in a box. Eventually Geralt tells him to leave the camp and not follow him. The man doesn't listen. Geralt is getting really fed up with him, until the man tells him he'll leave Geralt if he takes him to some woman named "Yennefer" because "She'll hopefully know how to help." This in turn becomes Yennefer saying Geralt's lost all his memories of Jaskier, Jaskier sobbing into Yennefer's shoulder as she awkwardly comforts her weird gay friends, and then her sending Jaskier and Geralt (and or also coming along) to track down the mage and get the jar of memories back, even though the entire time Geralt is adamant about Jaskier not coming, fearful for the human who seems to care so much about him for some reason. Either he can't trust this "Jaskier", or even worse, this Jaskier who seems too perfect to be true is real, and does indeed care for Geralt this much, and thus Geralt can't let ANYTHING bad happen to him.
