“Wow, you good? you look like you’re about to piss yourself.”

“What are you doing in my house?”

The villain wipes their hands on their apron. They turn and find themselves grinning amusedly at the hero, who presses themselves against the wall, eyes darting from Villain to their kitchen knives.

“Making soup, which I wouldn’t have if I knew you’d be so ungrateful. Really, Hero, where are your manners?”

“Get. Out.”

“Really? but my soup is just turning out so nicely, surely you wouldn’t mind sharing a meal or two with me.”

They say this, turning back to their pot and waving their pointer and middle finger in a small arc. Hero inhales sharply as the knives float and stab themselves into the ceiling.

“See? No weapons on me.”

The villain holds up their hands, pantomiming surrender, as a lopsided smile forms on their face. The hero finds themselves frozen. So vulnerable. Civilian clothing, identity out for anyone to see, cornered in their own home. They’d have to blind if they didn’t see how Villain looked them up and down hungrily, which gives them a strange fluttering feeling.

“You and I both know you wouldn’t need a weapon to hurt me.”

“Oh!” Villain holds their chest in mock-offense. “How you wound me with your assumptions.”

“Tell me why you’re here.” Hero says, finally going up to Villain and gripping their wrist. Their eyebrows raise when Villain melts into the touch, eventually hiding their face in Hero’s shoulder. Hero’s breath hitches.

The villain’s usual bravado is gone, and they shake in Hero’s embrace.

What is happening? Hero thinks wildly to themself.

It takes all their willpower not to squeak when Villain nuzzles against their neck. It sends shivers through their body, in a strangely good way.

“Villain-“

“Please.” Hero has never heard Villain beg before. “Please, I just…I have nowhere else to go.”

Hero only runs their hands through Villain’s hair, shushing them and patting their back.

“It’s-It’s alright. You can stay.”

Villain clings to them tighter.
