Kiss of the Snake! Chapter 2

(TW: Slight cussing. And I did my best with my limited knowledge of parkour.)

Alexander couldn’t help but suddenly remember why he hated school. As he walked toward the school he could feel the stares of the students on him and he could hear them talking about him.

*Holy shit. Is that a new student?*

*I didn’t know there were people that tall and hot.*

*I saw him exit a fancy car.*

Alexander did his best to remain calm, as he walked toward the front of the school, but it was stuff that was spoken that often reminded him of why he preferred to be alone. Slowly, he made his way to the teacher’s office, upon his arrival, Alexander was once again gawked at as he was assigned to the Fashion Department room. In all honesty, Alexander just wanted to go sit down, and hopefully, he could meet the other Daniel that the other Daniel told him about. Alexander pressed his lips together as he followed his teacher toward his new homeroom, he could hear a commotion coming from inside the room.

Alexander turned to the source of the sound, and was amused to see that there was a black haired student standing above another black haired student that appeared to be holding his stomach while on the ground. Alexander returned his attention to his teacher, who stormed inside and began to yell at the students to get back in their seats. It was then that the teacher called for him, and so he entered the class being mindful of the doorway. As he went to stand next to the teacher, facing the class.

“Everyone. Now that you are calmed down and back in your seats. This is Alexander Boudreaux. He is new to our school and our country so please show him kindness,” The teacher spoke while his eyes glanced over the room and pointed to an empty spot next to a blonde student,” Go ahead and take a seat next to Jay.”

Alexander nodded his head before walking over to where the blonde was sitting, he removed his backpack and sat down. As the teacher began class, Alexander quickly pulled out a notebook and a pencil from his backpack before sitting it down the hook on the side of the desk. As Alexander opened his notebook to begin taking notes when he felt the sensation of eyes upon him. He looked up to see a set of pair of blueish green eyes looking at him, when their eyes met Alexander raised an eyebrow at him. However, soon the teacher called for class to begin, causing the teen to look forward and Alexander followed suit.

Alexander didn’t pay attention as time went on, eventually, it became time for lunch. He waited for most of the students to file out before the student from earlier walked over to him.

“Hello. You're Alexander right? My friend told me about you though he didn’t tell me you are so tall. Ah! Sorry that was rude of me!” He said before instantly becoming worried, Alexander couldn’t help the chuckle that slipped from his lips as he replied with a grin,

“It’s alright. I assume your name is Daniel. Is it alright if I call you Dan? Just so that way I don’t get you mixed up with the other Daniel?”

He watched as Daniel’s eyes widened slightly, shining with joy as he replied,” Sure!”

Alexander chuckled as he got to his feet, though he didn’t tower over Daniel extremely much, it was obvious how much taller he was. He looked down slightly as he asked,” Is it okay if I sit with you for lunch Dan?”

“Sure! I would like that actually. It would be nice to sit with someone for lunch,” Daniel replied brightly as he waited for Alexander and the two began to walk toward the cafeteria. As the two entered, Alexander followed Daniel as the two sat down to eat, he instantly tensed up as he felt a hand upon his back. Taking all his will power he tried not to aggressively attack the person's hand, fearing a repeat of what had happened the last time someone unknown touched his back. However, just as quick as it touched him, it was gone, Alexander glanced over at Daniel who had spoken in a sheepish tone,

“Hey Zoe. Is there something wrong?”

Alexander turned to see a girl with short black hair that curled inward slightly, her brown eyes glittering with utter adoration as she replied to Daniel,” No! Nothing is wrong, I just wanted to say hi.”

“Hello Zoe. This is Alexander. Alexander, this is Zoe from our classroom,” Daniel said, introducing him to the female.

Alexander plastered on a soft smile as he spoke to her,” Hello Zoe. It’s nice to meet you.”

He watched as the girl brightened, as she took a seat next to Daniel, which Alexander was thankful for, and began to chat with him. Alexander quietly ate his lunch as the other two talked, however, it was soon broken when Daniel spoke to him,

“Are you doing anything after school, Alexander?”

Alexander blinked in surprise before looking over at Daniel and replied back,” Ah. Nothing really other than doing some parkouring.”

“Parkouring? What is that?” Daniel asked with a hint of confusion.

Alexander blinked slowly as he replied,” You don’t know what parkour is-” Daniel allowed a sheepish smile to emerge on his face as Alexander continued to speak,” I’ll show what that is after school! Ah- If that's what you want to do.”

Daniel’s face instantly lit up as he replied,” Yeah! That sounds good to me!”

Alexander beamed a smile at him, happy that he now had a friend he could teach parkour too. However, out of the corner of Alexander’s eyes, he could see that Zoe was pouting behind Daniel’s back. Alexander mentally rolled his eyes at her before both himself and Daniel returned to eating. Once lunch was over the three of them returned to class, sitting at their assigned desks once they entered their classroom again. The moment school ended, Alexander waited for most of the class to leave before looking over at Daniel with a grin as he asked,

“Ready to go?”

Daniel looked at him with a grin of his own as he replied,” Yeah!”

Alexander waited for Daniel to gather his stuff up before he began to lead him out the school and the two began walking down the street. Alexander scanned for a building that had a fire escape ladder. Once he spotted one, he signaled for Daniel to follow him up the ladder, he could see Daniel was hesitant at first, but followed him. Once they reached the roof of the building, Alexander scanned around until he found a perfect obstacle course for himself. Turning to Daniel he spoke with glee,” Alright. You can wait here Dan since this will be the ending point. Basically, parkour is getting from point A to point B quickly.” Daniel nodded his head in understanding as Alexander continued his explanation,” So you’ll stay here since this is point B. I’ll run over to point A and get started.”

As soon as Daniel nodded his head, Alexander took off his backpack, setting it down near the wall before quickly running over to the building that was his point A. Upon arriving he noticed that there were no fire exit ladders or stairs, but that didn’t deter him. Noticing a pole that was close to the building he quickly ran over and began to climb up it until he reached the rooftop. As he stood on the top, he grinned before jumping a little bit before he took a few steps backwards and then ran toward the edge. As soon as he felt the edge of the building underneath his feet, he jumped, landing upon the next building with a roll.

Alexander quickly got to his feet, continuing to run toward the next building only to change course instead of just jumping knowing that he wouldn’t make it. He ran toward where there was a metal bar, he quickly jumped toward it, his feet landed in the middle before using his momentum to do a sideways jump landing upon his feet before running toward the building where Daniel was at. As he ran toward the building he noticed a bar that was more than likely used at one point. As Alexander got closer he jumped up grabbing the bar and used his arms along with his momentum.

Alexander threw himself into the air, performing a side spin, until he landed upon his feet and stood up with a grin. Sweat dripped down his brown skin as he placed his hands upon his hips and asked,

“What did you think?”

Daniel’s eyes were glittering with excitement as he replied,” That's amazing! Do you think I can learn it too?”

Alexander’s grin grew as he replied,” Hell yeah you can. Are you prepared for the work though?”

Daniel pumped his fist into the air as he replied," Yes I am!”

Alexander couldn’t help, but feel more than happy that he would have someone to parkour with him. Even if it was teaching him the basics and so their friendship began with Alexander teaching Daniel how to parkour.

(Hope you enjoy it! I'm sorry if Daniel seems OOC. I still hope you enjoy regardless!)

Fly Up: Lookism (Vasco Story)

Warning: bullying, body shaming, harassment, discrimination, language, violence, drinking, smoking, sexual themesPairing: Vasco x Kim Hana (Original Character/Reader)

Credits for the pictures for the cover & aesthetic board it's from Pinterest💖 the cover is from apari3nciasThis story is more based of Lookism Netflix than the WEBTOON series.

This story will not have various x original character or love triangles between Vasco, Hana and another character. It may have fluffy parts but, it's platonic. Vasco thinking the new guy (Hyung Seok) is taking advantage of her and using the guy who works at the convenience store to get with the new guy at Jaewon High School. What Vasco doesn't know that they are both the same guy.Vasco is drawn to her he doesn't know why. He secretly beat up her bullies and her voice it's the most beautiful voice he ever heard. He liked the hard working and talented side of her.

Chapter 1: Change

Hana looking into the mirror while applying some makeup. Her mascara, blush and tinted lip balm. She is dressing up going out with Mi-jin in the city. Mi-Jin asked, Hana to watch out for her and Jin Sung's date. Jin Sung isn't much of a nice guy, but Mi-jin is giving him a chance. Hana knows how much he likes her cousin.

Now Mi-jin is a family friend and she was adopted into the family. So Hana can study abroad. Hana is from America. But She took Kim's last name. She lives with Mira and her parents. They both call each other friends or cousins.

There were kids bullying her, remembering what they were saying. Such cruel mean things.

"She really should stop wearing such short, tight clothing.

"She is such a pig!"

"Sure, she got all the makeup on and nice clothes. Under that, she's still a fat ass bitch."

"Man she stinks!!!" Covering their nose. Even though she showers, put on some fragrances. She would get self conscious seeing that if she smells before she goes off to school.

Hana is even popular on Youtube. But the school is really jealous of how well her videos are and the amount of views and likes. "Ugh that disgusting fat bitch is so popular all over social media. Why can't I have the same amount of following and likes? She doesn't deserve that. Fat pig."

Yes, Hana looked different. She has a stomach, stretch marks, big arms, legs mainly her calves, thighs. biceps and tricep area. She certainly is curvy. They even made fun of her for being fashionable, and applying on makeup. She thought of, "Why should, I stop what I'm wearing and let them win? This isn't to impress any one. This is all for me and for my confidence. Remember to love yourself, Like BTS Song, 'Love Myself'."

🎶The me of yesterday

The me of today

The me of tomorrow

(I'm learning how to love myself)

With no exceptions, it's all me🎶

Boys never looked at her, has a boy caught her eye? Yes there are many good looking boys in the Jaewon High School. She knows they'll never take a glimpse or at least acknowledge her presence at least once. It's always the looks, never personality? Or at least both? Most boys at school think she's just a joke. She went on a date with one of the guys but they dipped. He never showed up. Another time there was one that finally showed up but then his friends came and made fun of her. Spilled the food and drinks on her. That was one of the worst night of her life.

Hana's friends, Like Jay, Ha Neul, Jace from work, and Mi-jin. Though, she just doesn't know why the bullies will pick on Hana once she is alone. "Don't they have anything better to do?" Hana

Thought. Everyone at school even questioning why do I have good looking and skinny friends. "How can a fat girl have skinny pretty friends like Ha Neul and Mi-jin?"

Mi-jin knocking in her door. It broke her from her thoughts. "Hana are you ready?-" She stares in awe, "...Wow! You look so beautiful. I wish I could do makeup like you!" Hana smiles.

Hana offers to do Mi-jin's Makeup. "I can do your makeup for your date? Are you sure about Jin Sung? He isn't such a nice guy. His friends make fun of me." Mi-jin wasn't surprised.

'Mi-jin didn't know this, I wanted to keep it from her. Just thought she should know. But, It shouldn't stop her from dating.' Hana trying to look out for Mi-jin. "I can't control who you date. He might change, but if he doesn't. Don't continue dating him and feel like you owe him anything." Mi-jin knew better and how protective she is.

Hana, seeing from the distance, Jin Sung is actually not so bad when he is with Mi-jin.

Mi-jin bumped into this guy. Hana Never seen him around. Mi-Jin apologized and bowed. "I was not paying attention." The guy was shocked. It's like no one ever apologized to him in his life. Mi-jin looked a little creeped out. "Excuse me, are you okay." He smiles. "Yes, I'm totally fine. Did you get hurt at all?" Mi-jin back up a little.

"Hey Mi-jin, He's just trying to be nice. Maybe he's new." Hana said to Mi-jin. Then, she turned to the guy. "-Hi My name is Hana." Letting out a hand to shake his. But, Jin Sung called. Mi-jin. She smiled. "Jin Sung!"

"Have you been waiting looking." Looking at Mi-jin "Who's this? Someone you know." Turning to Hana and Mi-jin. They were about to go to their date. "We just met him." Then Mi-jin said, "Uh, no, it's fine. Let's just go." The guy smiled. Jin Sung got angry. "What the? What's with the smile?"

The guy got confused, "Ugh. What? I accidentally bumped into her."

"Wait, what? You bumped into her? Are you Kidding me?" Taken a back. Changing his mind. Thinking. 'This dude really bumped into Mi-jin?!' "It's nothing. I was the one not paying attention." Mi-Jin not liking where this is going.

"Jin Sung. Please don't get physical. He doesn't mean anything wrong. It was an accident. It's not his fault. Mi-jin already apologized." Then the guy looked at Hana as a relief. Tell Hana and Mi-jin. "We're just going to chat a little." Hana knows he isn't just going to talk to him.

Then the guy was getting nervous and he's still smiling. "I think there's been a..." Hana thought, 'I think he was going to say a misunderstanding." Jin Sung cut him off. "So, why are you grinning if you just bumped into her now, huh?" Jin Sung raising his voice.

The guy was scared. "Jin Sung! It was an accident." Jin Sung saw that he started to clench his fists. Thinking the guy wants to fight Jin Sung. He is too stubborn. To Hana and Mi-jin

He even offered coffee for the four of us. Jin Sung saw the guy clenching his fists. Then Jin Sung wanting to beat this new guy. "What? Did you just clenched your fists?" Jin Sung goes closer to the guy. Still looking down and sad. Then, he looks at his hand. It was in clenching position. Hana knows he doesn't seem like a type of guy to fight. "Not at all. There must be some misunderstanding. Come on don't be like that." the guy was sweating a bit. Out of nervousness. He even offered coffee for the four of us.

Jin Sung starts to bluff. "Oh, really? You just wanna get coffee?" The guy said. "Yes." He sucker punched him. "Jin Sung, this is so unnecessary." Hana run to the guy. Mi-jin trying to pull him away. Telling Jin Sung, "Jin Sung. Stop it!" But it was no use. Mira instead pulling Hana away from the punching.

Everyone is starting to record the beating. "What the hell?! Jin Sung Stop you heard Mi-jin! All he wanted to do is make some friends. You should have at least hear him out. Does he look like he wanna fight?!" Mi-jin and Hana tried to stop him but he removed Mira's grip again.

Jin Sung stopped Mi-jin rushed to Jin Sung again. "Jin Sung. Hey! Hey! Stop It." One last beating he then fell on the ground.and people got pissed and tired of recording. Mira taking Jin Sung away from Hana and the guy that was beaten up by Jin Sung. Mira looks back. "Get him out of this guys sight. I'll go check on him. Don't worry, I'll text you." Mi-jin mouthed I am so sorry Hana. She frowns.

Introducing herself again. "Hi, My name is Kim Hana. I'm sorry... I couldn't stop it. You don't deserve that. Nobody does. Especially getting recorded and taken pictures of is the worst. I can help you clean up your wounds. You must be new to the city." Hana giving him a hand. He continues to cry. It took some time for him to speak up. He didn't seem to trust Hana. Still on the ground. Hana helps the guy out. Taking him out for coffee at the shop she works at. She bought him an Americano. He couldn't even look at her in the eye. "My name is... It is Park Hyung Seok... You... You, didn't have to help me. After all, I am a disgusting pig." Hana starts to tear up. There was so much pain. Not only physically but coming from his voice. Hana can tell there is so much sorrow. She can never imagine, when was the last time this guy ever found happiness. It was probably not in a very long time. "-Please, don't call yourself that. You are a person. A human being. Just because you're different doesn't make you some kind of pig or a monster. I do know what it's like to get bullied. These guys mess with me. Called me names. Even made fun of me at work. They commented on my appearance." Park Hyung Seok thought, he have met the nicest person ever. She's beautiful have a great sense of style very well put together and she's cool. 'How can they do this to her? She deserve the world. There should be more people like her. In this cruel world. Will there be anyone else just like her?'

Hana helped Hyung Seok home. "I know I invited you and your friends for coffee. You didn't have to give me a free coffee. Sorry I missed up your hangout." He shouldn't be alone after what happened. He started watching the video and reading the comments that was posted. "Oh, Don't worry about the coffee it's on me. I wasn't really hanging out with them. You know the girl. She's my friend. I just wanted to look out for her while she's on a date with Jin Sung."

He continues to read the comments on the video. He continues to cry. Hana Hugged him. The both of them shared. What the bullies have done to them. "People didn't like the way I dress and my Appearance. Making jokes by asking me out on dates. Guys saying they like me. They made me trip and messing with me at work too. I work at the coffee shop we went to." He shares with Hana that he has been an errand boy getting their gym clothes, lunch, cigarettes, getting kicked, punched, beaten, even beaten in front of his mom. 'They are jerks. Those are the worst things you can ever do to anyone.. Don't they really have anything better to do? They are just obsessed and probably projecting it onto those who look different.' Hana thought she was so angry when she heard what they did to Hyung Seok.

Hyung Seok was shocked. "Really? You really didn't have to give me free coffee just because you work there. Sorry about my house." Hana gently puts down his phone so that he can stop reading more comments. "Hyung Seok you don't have to apologized for your home. I think it's grate you get to have a roof top and that you're living by yourself after all it is a home still." Hana smiles.

He cries again after reading some comments he has remembered. Hana hands him more tissue and he takes it. Wiping his snot and tears.

"Stir-fried pork."

"What school does this pig go to?"

"The video went viral. I couldn't go to school if I were him."

"I'm glad my life's not like that."

"Well, that pig had it coming." Then he remembered from Lee Tae-Seong,

Hyung Seok told Hana. "The bully from the last school I went to called me ('A Loser bastard since the day you were born.')" Hana shakes her head saying, "No you are not a loser bastard since the day you were born. I just met you. I didn't judge you. I bet you have since a kind beautiful soul. You deserve the world to be kind to you."

He cries again. Hana hugging him and handing more tissues to him. "They were all mocking me. I had no friends there. I'm Human too. You're right Hana. I'm human too." Hyung Seok finally trusts her. Hugging her, embracing and hugging her more tightly and Hana rubbing his back. Trying to make him feel better. "You can always have me. I'll be there for you." Hana cries. And Hyung Seok is finally glad he has a real friend for the first time in his life.

Hana asks, "You're new here right?" Hyung Seok nods, wiping his tears with his arm. Hana hands him more tissues. "-Which school are you going to?"

Hyung Seok takes the tissues. "I transfer to Jaewon High School in two days." Hana smiles. "I also go there. I can give you a tour and introduce you to Mi-jin and Ha-naul. He looked down and was sad. "After what happened I don't think I can show my face in front of your friend." She frowns. "Don't worry Hyung Seok. I'll be right by your side. What's your number?" Hyung Seok was shocked. 'I never exchange any numbers with anyone. This is the first number from an official friend.' After they both exchange numbers Hana leaves. While Hyung Seok is still sad, sobbing after that incident with Mi-jin and Jin Sung. He was so humiliated. Hana still leaves a text.

See you tomorrow, Park Hyung Seok! Have some rest and make it a best day in two days. For your first day in Jaewon High!😊 - Kim Hana

Hana came home and Mi-jin was waiting for her in Hana's room. Mi-Jin got her Pajamas on already. She's awfully home early. "You're back Hana. I am so sorry for what happen!" Mi-jin keeps going on and apologizing about what she could have done. "...I could've stopped him. I felt like a total bystander. I just hate fights. Jin Sung should've let him talk and I should've listened to you for what type of guy he is! Ugh!" Hana calming her down. "Mi-jin hey! We did try many attempts to stop Jin-Sung It's alright. I talked to the new guy. He actually is a kind guy. I offered him coffee. It took some time for him to open up. He just wanted friends. That wasn't the first time he experienced something like that. He told me I was the first to be so kind to him." Hana tears up. Mi-jin hugs Hana. "I'm glad you got home safe Hana. and made a friend."

Hana is now getting ready for bed. Hana and Mi-jin talks about boys. Mi-jin eating some Honey Butter chips in Hana's room. While Hana is in the bathroom

While washing her face. Removing her makeup. "How'd it go with Jin-Sung?"

Mi-jin Changing positions in the room while snacking. "He took some time to cool down. He can be a nice guy. But his friends and that incident with the new guy around. I don't know if I should keep seeing him." Having second thoughts about liking Jin Sung. 'They are cute together' Hana thought. Now applying toner, serums, now moisturizer. Massaging her face so the products will sink in."I'm not forcing you to stop, If you like him. But his actions and the things him and his friends are not best." Hana now in her Pajamas snacking with Mi-jin. Both drinking Strawberry Milk.

"Hana you barely mention boys? How about Park Bum Jae?" Hana chuckles. Shaking her head no.

"Jace? No! He's my coworker. But I wouldn't date him. He may be in Burn Knuckles but, they mean good intentions they defend those who are different. 'Weak' and 'losers'"

"You know who I see you with? I'd see you with Vasco. " Hana questions. 'Vasco the tough guy leader of Burn Knuckles? I always think he's cool. He's too I intimidating Bum Jae and Vasco helped me with the bullying. Mostly behind my back. I think that Bum Jae would always give him a heads up about my bullies.'

Hana finished her strawberry milk. "Boys were ever kind to me in the past. They always joke around saying they like me. One date stood me up and the other spilled food and drinks all over me with their friends." Looking down, Hana starts to cry. Mi-jin couldn't forgive herself when that happened to her best friend. Hana always tell her it's not her fault. It's those jerks. That made Hana afraid to have crushes.

Park Hyung Seok wakes up in a new body without any realization. Going to his bathroom. 'Was the ceiling always this low? The sink seems lower too.' Thinking to himself. When he looks at himself in the mirror it scared him. 'Who the heck is that person?' Then, he looks at his other body. 'That's... It's me.' Waking himself up, "Uh, excuse me." 'I am speaking so politely to myself.' Tries waking himself up again. "Excuse me." He slaps himself on the face. "HEY!" He's now waking up in his other body. 'Was it a dream?' Looking at his hands. He chuckles to himself. 'It was a scary but, happy dream.' Closes his eyes, turns to the side and then he opens his eyes again. He got scared again. Realizing it wasn't a dream at all. He's still in shock. "I wasn't dreaming. Wh... What happened? Hey!" Waking up his new body. "Huh? Did I get switched back?" 'What is going on? Wait a second.' He started testing his voice and touching his throat. 'Huh? My voice has changed too.' He's off his thoughts, telling himself. "Okay, Let's calm down. Right. I'll call the hospital first. Then, I'll call Hana." Grabs his phone. "911. 911." Opening his phone. There goes the post where he got beaten up by Jin Sung again. He starts reading and strolling through the mean comments.

"What school does this pig go to?"

"I couldn't go to school if I were him his life is fucking ruined."

He puts his phone down looking at his original body. Snoring. Without putting on any clothes yet he turns on his light and looks at his new body. His original body starts snoring and farting.

He remembered Tae Seong's words. "You Belong on the button rung. Until the day you die you piece of Shit." Looking at the post. 'With this body I can change!'

Author's Note: Hope everyone has fun during the Holidays. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This is a non edited chapter. If I wrote down the wrong names or mixed the names up from the Anime and Webtoon. I apologized I am going by the Netflix Anime.

Let me know what you think of Hana so far? Any requests, or predictions? For this story?

I love Vasco he's my favorite he's literally baby boy the way he is tough and soft and tears up. Starts to cry.

What does everyone think of this chapter so far? Again this story won't have any Love Triangles. Just Platonic.

so, I finished GreedFall in 43 hours and got the best ending.

I feel fulfilled, ngl, so here is my tomboy De Sardet who favors plate armor and heavy two-handed weapons (i.e. that one unique scythe in particular).

#and yes I romanced kurt #his quests/personality resonates with me more than vasco tbh #and considering he can betray you if you're not nice #very cool indeed #just wish there was an option to toggle helmets off #I want to SEE THE HAIRRRRR #but the final romance scene made me laugh #it was so modelled as 'female LI kisses man who leaves for the final fight'#so seeing a woman de sardet leave her man for the final fight was refreshing #anyway I have a lot of thoughts about the game #greedfall #de sardet #my screenshot

lookism boys realizing they have a crush????

Mmmm lookism boys dealing with their crush on you. My faaave. Love this developing blossoming romance shit. Loveeeee the realisation and dancing around their feelings and figuring out what to do. Thank you for this.

Lookism Boys Crushing on YOU

(Johan, Jake, Vasco, Gun, Goo... who's playing favourites?!) Part 2

Johan

Ugh it's hard enough getting used to having a friend around. He had his whole lone wolf thing going on before you came along. And now he has to deal with feelings? What's that all about??

And the way Eden and Miro loves you? Stop. Stoooop. He works hard to try and repress his budding crush for you but why do you have to keep worming your way into his stone cold heart.

He's a weirdo at the best of times and now he's just extra odd. He stares at you. A lot. And he can't help but want to be by your side even when he pulls himself away. He catches himself smiling at you absentmindedly. When he realises what his stupid heart is doing he is annoyed and unfortunately it shows outwardly.

Don't even ask about his jealous tantrums. Yikes.

They're something else until he figures out what to do about this. Yeah he knows he's childish but even he is perceptive enough to realise how he acts around you isn't normal or healthy. But you mentioning spending time with other guys? How cool someone else is? Or sweet? Please don't, his poor lil heart can't take it.

Jake

Sigh. Maybe he should have reined it in with his flirtatious banter and winks. At first they were just empty words and innocent silliness. I mean, don't think about it too hard, he's like this with everyone.

But when he starts wanting a sincere reaction from you? And hoping for a grain of truth behind your teasing responses? He was doomed.

So yeah. He has a big old crush on you and he feels like he should really keep it a bit more professional as Big Deal No.1. Try as he might to restrain himself though, the honeyed words can't stop slipping from his lips. They just get more intense and sillier.

...And start to get completely directed at you. All of it. Well this is an interesting development that the rest of Big Deal take note of. Of course they notice their boss is soft on you. It's obvious.

If he learned one thing from Sinu, it's that mutual pining especially for over ten years does no one good. He's not a coward. He will confess, he just needs you to take him seriously.

Vasco

Listen. Our Vasco Tabasco is already commited. He's married to the Burn Knuckles and he's got bad guys to beat up. He's already tried his hand at dating and he knows what his priorities are so he doesn't have time for a crush-oh.

Ohhhhhh.

The realisation creeps up on him. He's dense but he's not that dense ok? He finds the way his cheeks warm and heart pounds strange when he's in your presence or talking to you. And yeah he may need a little help with Jace to realise what's going on but he does realise. Sooner or later.

Type of silly guy to start fantasising about all sorts of wholesomeness with you even whilst just crushing on you. What was that Jace? Just thinking about Y/N and if they think it would be cute if we shared a chocolate milk hehe.

Ohoh I should confess first? How am I going to that!!!

Gun

It irks him when Goo is anyway involved with his personal life at the best of times, but when Goo points out he's getting soft on you? He finds this annoying, he finds YOU annoying. How dare Goo and how dare you and especially how dare himself.

Outwardly, he doesn't change how he behaves with you once he comes to terms with his feelings. It doesn't do well for him to try and develop his crush further.

But this man barely has a threadbare excuse for being topless most of the time, so what if he does it a little bit more in your presence?

And so what if he cuts back on smoking because it makes you cough? And wears his hair a little messier cos he found you staring at him a bit starry-eyed and slackjawed that time? And if he responds back to your texts a little quicker even if it's just saying "I'm fine"?

Are you going to fight him about it?

Goo

Mercy above, you're giving him a migraine.

For a man that loves himself and loves money as much as Goo, to actually start turning down money making opportunities to spend time with you?? Oh boy. That's a pretty big achievement. Well done you for getting the attention of this menace.

He is definitely not happy with this realisation, he doesn't like anything that messes with his finances but no matter, this is a problem he can solve.

If you thought this man was irritating and clingy before, have I got news for you. He is texting or calling or just wanting to hang with you all. The. Damn. Time. You're constantly on his mind these days, and he thinks he should be on yours too even if he barges his way in.

That's what you get for forcing this crush on him.

“Stereotypical-First” Type of Guy

This man is an absolute sucker for romance. It’s obvious that he actually cares and that first date won’t certainly be the last. It all started off as jokes & teasing, until you two developed feelings. So, now you’re sitting with him on a picnic blanket in a secluded part of the beach and it’s around 6 in the evening. He got you a bouquet of your favorite flowers, an item you really like [books, art materials, etc.], and prepared the scene the two of you were sat at. Theres a picnic basket on the blanket, various seashells you two collected all around you two, some petals he placed in advance to set the scene— It was straight out of a movie. He lit up a candle with one of the scents you’ve mentioned was your favorite and it’s safe to say his efforts paid off. Eventually, you two went on a stroll after having a little dinner. You went around the beach and reached the ocean shore— which escalated in an innocent water fight. You guys splashed one another with water and laughed. This guy has good aim so you were really soaked while he was still mostly dry… So he made it an opportunity to give you his jacket/coat, since you were wearing a not so thick dress and got soaked in cold water.

Zack Lee, Jace Park, Jake Kim, Sinu Han, All of big deal… Daniel Park, Euntae Lee/Vasco, Johan Seong (yall went on that stroll because you ran out of food..)

“You’re the only girl i’ve ever brought to this place” Type of Guy

You’ve known this guy for years, maybe even a decade. Which is why he brought you to a place he holds close to his heart, some place he wouldn’t take anyone else whose just a fling or doesn’t matter to him to that extent. He informs the owner of the place in advance of the special someone he’s bringing to have dinner. Even the owner is shocked, as he became close friends over the years with this person— and knowing him almost as well as you do (to a certain extent), the thought of him bringing someone over, especially a girl, never would have crossed his mind in his entire life. Which is why he made sure to make everything extra special that night, not wanting to disappoint you and this guy. This guy specifically tells you that this is his favorite place, and he’s brought a very close guy friend of his or two, but has never even mentioned it to a girl. This small and cozy place is hidden in a secluded area, so you two had a romantic night. It ended with him taking you back to your place and a good night kiss. It felt surreal considering you’ve been just friends for so long who has actually had feelings for each other but never admitted until just recently, which led to this first date.

Gun Park, Samuel Seo, Warren Chae, Cheon Taejin, Yujin Yoo, DG, Baek Gyeol (where this psycho gon take you??), Kwak Jichang, Seongji Yook

“Simple & Sincere Since The Beginning” Type of Guy

This guy is simple and you stayed for that. Ever since you first met him, it was already made clear that he wasn’t the type of guy to be so outgoing and extra. He likes simple and innocent activities that you two do because it puts a smile on your face, and anything that makes you happy, makes him even happier. And knowing how much you love movies, he decided he’d go ahead and prepare the movie you’ve been dying to see for so long, so that the two of you could watch it at his place. It was just you and him, nobody else, sat down together with various snacks that he noticed you love. It didn’t matter to him what movie it was— comedy, adventure, horror, or even romance, what mattered to him was your enjoyment that night. From sneaking his arm around your waist to cuddling without you even noticing, this guy is smooth and he made good use of it. Your first date lasted for hours because you fell asleep in his arms, to which he didn’t wake you—instead, slept along with you. Some would say that it’s weird to already cuddle and fall asleep together on the first date, but you’ve been so close to this guy for so long that it’s almost as if its just another day.

Daniel Park, Zack Lee, Warren Chae, Johan Seong (he ate most of the food and even though yall got more, he devoured that too..), Kwak Jihan, Kwak Jibeom, Eli Jang, Baek Hangyeol (😭😭), Jake Kim, Sinu Han

“Flaunt You With His Money” Type of Guy

This guy is rich, he’s filthy rich. As expected from these kinds of guys, your first date is at a classy restaurant that you can’t even pronounce the name of. He picks you up from your house in one of his cars, which he made sure to choose your favorite color & the car you seemed most comfortable in. But he also made sure to choose something flashy, so that you wouldn’t be thinking of any of the other cars he owns. He’s dressed up in a suit, and this guy has plenty of them. His hair is fixed for the occasion and his fragrance is one you can’t forget because of how good it smells, but it isn’t too strong so that it won’t get to your head. He picks you up in the evening, around five. He goes up to your doorstep with a large bouquet of your favorite flowers and chocolates he knows are your favorites. He patiently waited at your door while you were putting the flowers in a vase with water, and the gifts in the refrigerator / on the counter, (because chocolates wasn’t the only gift he brought you). He made sure to be even more of a gentleman than he already is to you, opening the door for you, pulling the chair for you to sit on. And because you’re wearing a dress with little to no sleeves, he gave you his coat.

Jay Hong, Gun Park, Samuel Seo, Goo Kim, Cheon Taejin, Yujin Yoo, DG/Diego Kang, Baek Gyeol

Hello! How've you been? Can you please write jealousy headcanons for lookism men with a female reader? The reader and they are not in a relationship but they have a crush on her and they get jealous when she hangs out with her guys best friend? Thank you ❤️

♡♡♡♡ Jealousy "Hey, would you please focus on me?" (Lookism Men x Female Reader)♡♡♡♡

A/N: Sorry for the really late reply @serenesoulseeker but I've been feeling a lot better lately! (been trying to recover from a cold rn) And sorry for the inconvenience bc I have other requests to do and other important tasks (this has been sitting on my drafts for a while -_-''''') but I hope my writing reaches your expectations. Ty! Genre: angst to fluff Warnings: jealousy and neediness (a bit of possessiveness), not in an established relationship with the character of choice at first, (yandere on Samuel, Olly, and Jiho's part), slight mentions of assault (night club), mentions of physical fighting, shouting, toxic relationship on the last part (NOT CONDONING THIS IN REAL LIFE) reader is gender neutral!

Daniel Park/Jay Hong/Zack Lee/Vasco (Lee Eun Tae)/Jace Park/Duke Pyeon/Eli Jang/Johan Seong/Jake Kim/Lineman/Brad Lee/Jerry Kwon/Jason Yoon/Jiho Park/Young Jinyeong Park/Yuseong

Getting to know him for a very long time is a ride. You've been childhood friends with him and he's one of the people you cherish a lot. You always got each other's back. You often scare those little bullies away when they're taking their insults personally again just to make him insecure. And at times you got to scold him while patching up his bruises when he gets beaten up by those thugs, he just really wants to protect you from those types of people.

He may get wounded because of his hero complex getting in the way at times, but it's just him being him. You may come out as strong and bold at times but he knows you got that soft spot in you once he gets to know you better. You're both glad that you get to know each other. In times in rich and wealth, in sickness and in health, in both of your ups and downs you're always partners in crime. Spending his extra time with you shows that he really values you as you're with him. Despite having your own business and focusing on both of your perspective goals, that spark just never faded away. You're both thankful that your friendship stays the same, even getting better even when you're not with him at most times.

Your relationship with him even developed the more you stayed beside him especially when he's down like there's a dark cloud above his head. You don't have to be there for him always, yet you chose to. That triggered something he never felt anything before. Something warm and exciting. He usually never engage in romance since he's afraid of getting rejected and hurt. But he felt so much in ease and comfortable with you. When you tease him he usually doesn't mind it since he knows that you don't mean it and you actually see the good in him. It took a while for him to realize that he's been crossing the line that he's not prepared for.

He's enlightened, nervous, and anything between scared and happy. If he confesses to you, will like him back just because of his looks? Or will you turn down his offer or live both of your best lives as lovers? Will you avoid him? He's not sure. Though he will respect your wishes if you want boundaries. But he can't help but to feel jealous when you mingle with other people, especially with other boys. He knows that your kind and uplifting spirit makes the other guys ask for help when they need to so he doesn't really have a problem with you spending time with them as long as they don't do anything scandalous to you. He knows that he's not your boyfriend and vice versa, so there's no need to feel jealous. Right? But he can't really control it at times. He wants to pin you on the wooden table as he wants to tell you his feelings, "Hey, would you please focus on me?" but he can't seem to tell it on your face. He doesn't mean to pout when you won't pay attention to him. But he gets really hot and sweaty when you lean closer to him when you're helping him out with his homework! Or he can't help but to admire your cute face that you make when he teases you.

He's really insecure about what he's feeling and about himself. But after collecting his courage, he decided to talk to you and face that wall that he's been trying to overcome. He doesn't care if you even reject him anymore. He's trying to act tough and strong so that he can keep up with his image and to your standards. But I guess it's now or never.

You are chatting with him as you view the beautiful scenery of the sun falling down as the moon starts to appear on the pinkish-blue hue of the sky. The wind's blowing is soft and gentle as leaves softly rustle and danced on the atmosphere falling off on the tall and strong trees. Birds are flying on the sky as children flew their kites and sweet couples enjoy their quality time with picnics or sitting on the bench, just chatting and laughing at pretty dumb stuff. Despite the background sounds getting a bit loud, he really enjoys this moment with you.

"Hey Y/N," "Hm? "I want to ask you a question." his voice became stern as you gave him your attention. "Yeah, what about that?" you can see him getting a bit sweaty as he gulped, not trying to be so harsh or obvious. "Ehem, do you have s-someone you like?" he asked as your eyes widened in surprise. "Oh about that," "Yeah?" "I-I have someone I really like." You replied feeling your own cheeks grew hot as his mouth curls into a frown. He shouldn't have been hoping for you reciprocating his feelings. But he can't help but to get curious about this type of yours. "Okay, what is he like?" he asked with a hint of discourage on his voice, his eyelashes fluttering as he tries to stop his tears from falling down on his soft face. He never meant to be overdramatic, but his jealousy along with his insecurities and personal problems consume him at times. "Well, he doesn't realize it but he's really handsome, nice, talented, smart in his own ways. But that's not the reason I started developing feelings for him. He's so soft and gentle at me all the time, even being patient when I'm acting like a drama queen/king. But he's been so understanding at my problems even when I'm at fault at times. He doesn't give up on me and he actually made me a better person in some ways." you replied honestly as both of you avoided eye contact. "And I don't mean to offend anybody but," "Huh?" you faced him as you leaned a bit closer to him as he panics. It doesn't mean that he hates it, it's in fact the opposite. He can't help but to stare at your pretty face, but as the guy/someone who developed feelings first, he should be making the first move! "What if I told you that it's you that I like?" "E-EH!"

Now after talking it through out you're going to be a lovey dovey couple. If you're the shy type you're going to be a blushing idiot around him and vice versa. Though after confessing to each other he wants to take things slowly and surely so both of you wouldn't hurt each other's feelings and waste your friendship, memories, and time at the end. He fully respects it if you want to focus on your studies, family, and with your future career but just remember that he's always here for you all the time even if you're lovers or not :) (but trust me he's going to be one of the most loving boyfriends in this verse so it's now or never ;)

Warren Chae/Zack Lee/James Lee/Goo Kim/Sinu Han/Jake Kim/Vin Jin/Young Elite & Tom Lee/Kuroda Ryuhei/Olly Wang/Yoojin/Gongseob Ji/Kwak Jihan &Jibeom

This f*cker is insane. If you met him on your middle school, high school or in your workplace one thing you know is that he's going to piss you off (in a really good and bad way). He doesn't usually engage with his love life, he might have flings and flirts there and then but he's not really emotionally ready for mature understandings in a couple relationship. And besides he doesn't really want to either, he has other plans, goals, and other businesses to handle before getting into a committed relationship. Having a crush is fine he guesses.

But meeting you for the first time is something that feels different yet familiar. Two things crossed on his mind. First, why the f*ck does he need a partner for his work/school activity? And second is that even if he didn't want to admit it but something about you looks interesting. You look like someone who's pretty chill, and even if you won't shut the hell up he has another bicker friend to make and chat with. So it's a 50/50 win.

But one thing he sure know he's wrong about. You're more than your skills, beauty, brains, and talents. Even if you're the introverted or extroverted type, one thing he knows is that you're actually helpful and reasonable. What he likes about you is that you're pretty realistic in some situations that most people can't handle with. And you might sound harsh at times but it's just you being honest and giving constructive criticisms. It might not be obvious that he likes you because of him making you loose your temper and patience at times, but it's just him being him (an annoying little brat). But whenever things get serious, you always got his back and vice versa. You and him are one hell of a disaster if someone or even many people tries to mess with your shit.

Even if he seems to act bold, cold, intimidating and monstrous, he's actually a bit of a scared cat when you bring up the topic of him getting a girlfriend/boyfriend. His body just tenses when you talk about someone who looks physically attractive to you or when they show you acts of good and kind-hearted services. At first he conflicts to his subconscious that it's just him acting like an older brother to you as he scowls and hisses at them like a possessive cat. He can't help but to raise his eyebrows and roll his dark looking orbs when you giggle about your previous crushes, even cringing and boasting that he's a better man than that wimp will ever be. "HAH?! HIM?! REALLY?! Jesus Christ Y/N I didn't know that you have a really bad taste at picking men." he smirks as he bites on his strawberry-flavored lollipop while laughing at your grumpy looking form with him obviously being taller and muscular than you. "You don't even know him! He's not only kind but he's also helpful and bonus points, HOT!" he chokes on his sweet while he lets now a loud guffaw that can be probably heard at the whole building. This bastard really knows to piss you off. But it's just him being jealous. He thinks to himself that he may not be the best in showing affection and even coming out as arrogant at times, but he'll definitely change his misdeeds and wrong doings just to be a good influence on you. He might flirt there and then just to see you getting flustered while smacking his arms to stop. But he wouldn't go too far to make you feel uncomfortable around him. Respect.

Whoever tries to touch you without your permission gets smashed on the face by him. He may not be your boyfriend but whoever pervert who takes it too far and doesn't know boundaries deserves to feel his stinging and even gut-wrenching attacks.

It was on a late evening when you wear your clothing of choice to hang out on your own on a night club. You messaged him that you're going out on your own to get a few drinks with him answering that it's best if he can accompany you if you don't mind. But you reassured him that you'll be okay and you'll come home safe and sound. How wrong are you on that part. A skinny looking dude kept approaching you for your number while you politely decline that you're fine with your own. But he couldn't just stop bothering you, the fight have even turned into physical if you asked me. He was about to slap you on the face but then your friend stopped his attack by putting pressure on his wrist making the drunk bastard groan and grit his teeth. "Oi you dumb fuck, is that how you treat a person?" "Why the fuck are you getting out of the wa-" Your eyes widened as he landed an attack on the poor guy, but he just deserved it since he's not being responsible.

Both of you have to get out of that place filled with stench of smoke and alcohol. You're not really on the right mind either as the *alcohol/drink of choice* is starting to kick in your system. You crying and wailing on his arms like a little toddler when your toy is taken away from you. "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU FOLLOW ME HERE?! I ASKED FOR MY OWN TIME! I COULD HAVE PROTECTED MY SELF THERE!" you sobbed as you keep hitting him on the arms as he tries to make you calm down. "OI YOU REALLY THINK THAT I CAN JUST LEAVE YOU ALONE THERE?! WHAT IF YOU GOT HURT OR WHAT IF SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED TO YOU?!" he was about to scold you more before you hit him again despite not being hurtful at all before you puked on his new bought shirt, ah what a dumbass you are at times. "SCREW YOU! YOU ALWAYS GET IN MY WAY! EVEN TEASING ME WHEN MY FEELINGS ARE ALREADY GETTING HURT! YOU DON'T EVEN CARE WE ARE JUST CO-WORKERS/CLASSMATES!"

He'll make sure to give you every detail about what happened that night and he'll apologize on his shortcomings, even being honest about his mistakes which you can feel a bit uncanny since it's not like him. "Sorry Y/N for being an asshole at times. Sorry if I offended you. I may not be sounding sincere right now but I'll try my best to make it up to you. We're partners in crime after all". Nonetheless, if you and him can make it work out and talk about your problems with each other you and him will make a great couple :).

Gun Park/Kwak Jichang/Taesoo Ma/DG (Kang Dag Yeom)/Young Charles Choi (Elite)/Daniel Park (post-training with Gun arc)/Johan Seong/Cheon Taejin/Magami Kenta

He's another one who doesn't really focus on his love life. He does feel that being alone can be lonely at times but one main advantage of being single is that he can have quality time for himself and he can keep an eye on his goals. But he can definitely feel a spark between the two of you the more he gets to know you better if he really likes you. He's just him chilling in his own world I guess.

He doesn't really get jealous? At all? He might have some moments of feeling disappointed when you're busy with your schooling/work or when you turn your attention to your classmate/co-worker but he just wouldn't speak about it unless if you're doing it intentionally he still definitely gets jealous.

He can simply control his emotions in times especially when both of you are out for business. He maintains his professionalism intact with him since acting like a crybaby about it would just make a ruckus between the two of you and he doesn't want an argument in the first place. He wants to keep each others' boundaries, love, connection, and self respect for one another so he'll just ask about your day while he listens to your rumbles in your school/workplace as long as you listen to him as well ;3.

He's also very honest about his feelings and what upsets him the most. He wouldn't be afraid to voice out his concerns most of the times. At times he's feeling very hesitant to talk about his or your issues since he's already mentally exhausted and he doesn't want to bruise your heart. But he knows that running away from something won't make anything better. So as much as it hurts your part, he's willing to give some constructive criticisms even if you're the sensitive type and he'll also listen to your point of view in situations while he also explains his side of things (he doesn't emotionally abuse you don't worry).

And your friend might feel a little glare or you might see a little pout on his face when you don't give him attention. He really wants to get showered with love and care even though his inferior is tough and strong. But he's still a human, feeling emotions like jealousy so expect for him to gently grab your chin while he looks at you with that demanding and fierce, yet soft and sparkly eyes to lock on you especially when both of you are alone keeping each others' company. "Hey, did you take notes to what I am talking about?" "E-Eh?!" "Keep your focus on me even just for today, I'm not emotionally free when I'm out for work. So listen to me right now."

But his demeanor will completely change once a fucker who knows that you're in a relationship with him tries to flirt with you. It's not even a feeling of jealousy at this point. He's going to feel rage once someone tries to touch you inappropriately. It's going to be a massacre if you don't convince him to stop since he doesn't have a beating for a while now. Your one of the people whom he only listens to so as much as he wants to teach that guy a lesson he'll consider sparing them, he might not want to see their face though after he tries flirting and taking advantage of you.

Samuel Seo/Olly Wang/Jiho Park (villain arc)/Vin Jin (at start of Lookism when he's still super toxic unlike today he's still an asshole at times)

Oh girl/boy, do I even need to start? -_-'''' 🚩🚩🚩.

Literally the definition of "pure" red flag inside out.

This guy has daddy issues, family issues, mommy issues, inferiority complex issues, literally any issue. He also (probably) has abandonment issues so he pretty much won't let you go if he feels like you're the "one for him".

Pretty creepy with the face that he makes when he gets excited for beating someone when somebody tries to get closer to you (especially his rival). He might take this as a big challenge to see which one deserves to be with you.

A literal gangster inside out. Y'all saying that you can fix him, are you Bob the Builder or smth? Like there's a literal whole construction site dedicated for him 😭.

He MIGHT change his values and goals once you taught him how to love and appreciate his self for the way he is but so far it's probably going to be a toxic relationship if you're also a really hard headed person.

He easily gets jealous out of the bunch even at the smallest things. No matter how many times you try to convince him that you're not flirting with your schoolmate/co-worker, once he lost his cool he'll be literally scary and monstrous. Literal shouting, screaming and crying will be heard on your room while he throws things on the wall when he loose his temper at you. *Sigh* Idk about it.

Definition of insecure (I don't know if I'm describing or insulting them at this point).

A literal ass most at times. Yikes.

When the characters you've created are so tragic even you want to save them.

Maybe it's just sleeplessness and 5AM brain talking, but I'm seriously doubting if I can follow through with their bad ending, for the first time in a decade or so. It has started to feel so unbearably cruel.

This was never a problem until Vasco showed up, and now I've gotten too attached to their fragile little romance while still leading Machete for slaughter. Feels bad man.

Grunt Work

Sam Coe x GN! Reader

GN! Reader. No pronouns, no use of Y/N, or reader descriptions used. Reader is referred to as Captain sometimes, like in the game.

Canon typical violence: blood, injury, mentions of death, guns, language, romance, kissing. All PG-13.

Spoilers for the “Grunt Work” Quest

It’s the very first UC Vanguard quest. If you haven’t played it yet, I highly recommend it. Out of my 20-ish hours playing it’s my favorite so far.

No spoilers for the end of game (I haven’t even gotten close to it yet) or anything to do with Sam Coe’s romance questline (I haven’t finished that either).

Non-spoiler summary for this fic/quest:

Reader and Sam Coe go to Tau Ceti II to check up on the settlers in the Tau Gormet Production Center.

More descriptions of the fic with a more specific summary below the cut. I’m being very specific about spoilers because for most people, myself included, we’ve only had the game for a week.

More specific summary of this fic/quest:

The UC Vanguard sends you on a routine mission to check in on a settler colony on Tau Ceti II—it turns out to be anything but routine. With Sam Coe at your side, your first Vanguard mission is a baptism by fire.

Characters: Hadrian, Sam Coe, Vasco (mentions of other characters: Cora Coe and Barret)

“Vasco, do a quick comms check for me. I want to make sure it’s working after it glitched out on the last planet.”

The tall robot makes some beeping and whirring noises. The way it stares into nothing bothered you at first, but after some time you’d gotten used to it—even appreciating how it followed commands without hesitation. Over by the ships on and off-boarding ramp, Sam says goodbye to Cora. A smile spreads across your face as you watch them.

The Frontier’s external lighting illuminates the surrounding landing site. An otherworldly moon hangs in the night sky. You take one more moment to do a last check of your pack’s contents. This was going to be a routine check-in mission, but it never hurt to be safe than sorry.

“Comms are operational, Captain.”

“Thank you.” You wave goodbye to Cora who smiles and waves back before returning to the Frontier. “Comms are good Sam, ready to go?”

Your companion saunters over with that signature ranger’s confidence. “Always.”

“Great. I think I’ve got everything. Vasco, have I got everything?”

“Scanning now.”

Sam shifts from foot to foot. “Storm’s rolling in.” He comments, looking into the distance. “I’d like to get there before it starts raining.”

Sure enough, muted thunder rolls on the horizon and the wind picks up a touch.

“Yeah, yeah. Hold your horses, cowboy.”

“I don’t even know what a horse looks like.” He mumbles.

Vasco beeps affirmatively. “The necessary items are present, Captain. However, you are carrying more than the recommended amount.”

You sling your pack over your shoulder with a grin, ignoring the second part. “Thanks Vasco. You know, for a second there Sam, I thought you were going to say something about your joints hurting.”

“Ha ha. I’m not that old.”

You make a teasing face at him as you start heading toward the compound’s lights in the distance. The trek isn’t bad, mostly flat terrain with a few rocks here and there. The wind continues to pick up, carrying the scent of rain.

Sam hops over a rock, taking his place by your side. “Not to sound too over-eager to get this Vanguard busy work out of the way, but, where’s our next stop after this?”

“I was thinking we could explore the rest of this system. How’s that sound?”

“You know me, no complaints here.”

A radio tower comes into view, red lights along the sides flashing periodically. Beyond it is the main compound.

“Oh, Cora asked to keep an eye out on books specifically about ship reactors. She thinks she can fix ours.”

You hike your pack higher on your shoulder, already feeling the soreness. Blast your incessant need to carry every type of weapon part with you at all times. “I’ll be on the look-out. If she can save me a few credits and fix it herself, she’s welcome to try.”

“She’s a brilliant kid, but let’s do it on a planet with an actual mechanic who can make sure it works after. I have faith in her, but she’s 11 and you can’t learn everything from books—”

“Hold up. Sam. Stop.”

He freezes, noticing your stock-still posture, eyes fixed on the wide-open doors of the radio tower. Bright light filters out into the night.

“Does that look like a body to you?” you ask him, pointing toward a slumped over shape laying against a supply crate.

“Sure does.”

Unholstering your pistol, you both crouch and move closer. The grass underfoot sways in the wind.

It’s a grisly scene. Multiple bodies litter the area. All settlers—dressed in civilian working clothes. Blood splatters dot the concrete, some trail back to a body. Sam whistles, short and low, to get your attention. He’s looking inside. On the table is a settler, face up, arms splayed out and gutted. Clothes stained a vibrant red. Deep claw marks gouge out sections of the floor.

“No bullets, no casings in sight.” He murmurs close to your ear. “And it’s all fresh.”

You don’t need to look at him to know he shares your particular anxiety. “Let’s check out the main compound.”

Moving out of the small building and down toward the tar mac, you’re about to say something about the wrecked ship when an alien scream interrupts you. It sets every hair on end. Never have you heard a sound like that, even on the many planets you’ve explored.

In little to no time after the scream, a sharp static crackles over your comms, making you jump. Sam shuffles closer, crouched low next to you. If the situation wasn’t so tense, he may have chuckled, but he stays frozen and somber faced.

“I am so glad to see you.” The voice, a woman’s, sounds heavy with relief. “I think it knows you’re here. Hurry up to the second-floor office, I’ll unlock the door.”

As you make your way into the compound, it feels like walking straight into the lion’s den. Every sense is on high alert. Lightning flashes, making you see things in the shadows that aren’t really there. Only Sam’s presence behind you keeps you level-headed.

The brightly lit, glass windowed office only makes you feel worse, like a sitting duck on display.

“I’m Hadrian.” The woman introduces herself curtly while holding her side. “Are you my saving grace?”

“Not exactly. I’m UC Vanguard—sent to check in on the settlers.”

“Well shit.” She leans against the table, eyes closed in pain.

“Please don’t tell me we’re dealing with a Terrormorph here.” Sam asks, beating you to the punch.

She sighs. “Unfortunately, yes.”

“Shit. That’s bad news, Captain. Real bad.”

“Listen,” Hadrian starts, moving away from the table, “I know you’re just two people, but you have to help me kill this thing.”

“And why’s that? Why don’t we all just leave now?” You ask.

“It’s unique. It showed up way too early. Tau Ceti’s only been colonized for 20 years. If this is a new kind of Terrormorph that matures faster and shows up earlier, we need to know.”

“Damnit.” You hiss. “Terrormorphs that show up after only 20 years of colonization could wipe humanity off the map.”

“Exactly.”

Rain begins to fall on the large windows with a clatter. The rolls of thunder were becoming booming clashes now. Visibility was already reduced at night, but now the storm made things worse.

You relent, giving up any notions of leaving. “Alright. I’ll help. Got any ideas on how to kill it?”

Sam’s eyeing you particularly hard from where he stands.

“Yeah, turrets. But we need to bring them back online and get them powered up. The terminal’s on ground level at the far end of the warehouse.”

Sam grunts. “So, closer to the Terrormorph?”

“I’m not sure where it is right now. My best guess is it’s still around the outer edge of the facility. But there’s a tracking system you can use on one of the terminals.”

You run a hand over your face. “Ok. Tracker and turrets. That’s better than nothing. I can make do”

“Radio me when you’ve reset the system and I’ll calibrate it from here. Thank you for helping and good luck.”

You and Sam sneak out one of the office doors into the warehouse. Fat raindrops fall on the metal roof, amplifying the sound into a loud drumming. It doesn’t come close to the volume of your heartbeat in your ears.

“Vasco, come in.”

“Reporting, Captain.”

“Initiate full lockdown on the ship. Tell Cora we ran into some trouble and are taking necessary precautions. If she seems worried, give her a book from my locker.”

“Yes Captain.”

You shut off comms and sling your pack from around your shoulders, attempting a commanding tone that you’ve always needed to fake. “Sam Coe.”

His usual raspy, low voice is layered with apprehension. “Captain?”

You’re pulling out weapon pieces from your pack for your rifle. They’re big—heavy duty—and add a decent amount of weight to the gun. “Go back to the ship.”

“I had a hunch you were gonna pull something like this. No. No way.”

“That’s an order—”

“Don’t try that with me. You know it ain’t gonna work.”

You pause, just as you’re changing out the rifle’s .50 Cal magazine with a 9x39mm eight round clip. “Sam.”

“I’m staying.”

His eyebrows are furrowed. Mouth slanted in a stubborn, almost angry frown. You’d have to dig deep. “Cora can’t lose you.”

“You always pull that card. It’s lost its affect.”

“…I can’t lose you either.”

You’ve never used that before and quite frankly are surprised to hear it come out of your mouth. Maybe it’s too soon. Up until now, you and Sam have only been flirting—no real feelings or moves have been made. It’s a bit of a jump, but you’re sincere.

His eyes hold yours unflinchingly. The crease on his forehead lessens a little. “Then you know how I feel and why I’m staying right here.”

He’s one-upped you and you weren’t prepared for it. You murmur a “Damit Sam” and go back to modifying your rifle. Fighting is pointless, and his admission has your nerves shaken more than you’d like. “Stay glued to my side unless I say otherwise. If things turn sideways and I order you back to the ship, you’d better listen. Got it?”

“Understood, Captain.”

“I mean it.”

A hint of his familiar smile returns. “I heard ya.”

“And Sam…”

“Hm?”

“No heroics.”

He doesn’t respond, his brows pinch together again. It’ll have to do.

Moving through the warehouse went excruciatingly slow. At all times you wished you could just get up and run instead, but it would signal the monster almost immediately. The whole situation made you feel like you were prey, scared and small. The addition of Sam’s presence put a heavy responsibility on your shoulders and that made you even more careful.

Hadrian was on your comms as soon as the system was reset. She directed you to the tracker frequency tuner in the same room. While finding the frequency, the system went into high alert—detecting the major threat. Your watch begins beeping steadily, and then rapidly speeds up. The Terrormorph was getting closer to your position.

Your eyes met Sam’s just as the alien appeared on the roof of the building outside. Right in sight from the room’s windows you were in. A rough hand yanks you down to the ground. Sam is crouched damn near on top of you, shotgun aimed up at it. However, it doesn’t notice you two in the dark room. You slowly cover the watch face to try and muffle the beeping sound. Maybe it was the rain, or the creature was just playing games, but it moved on past to a different part of the facility. Loud footsteps fading as it leaves. The radar lessens to a low, steady beat.

“Hadrian, come in.”

“I read you. The turrets are going to need their power sources reset with the security system in lockdown.”

“Great.” Sam sighs, lowering his gun. His shoulder leans into yours as he gets closer.

“We’ll find them. Out here.”

Reaching for your rifle, your hands visibly shook. You can feel Sam’s watchful gaze.

“Last chance to leave.” You whisper, aimlessly checking over your gun. You feel his hand squeeze your shoulder reaffirming.

“Not happening.”

The first power source wasn’t hard to find. You took the slow route, keeping an ear out for any changes in the radar frequency. The power switch was like a beacon, a big red switch on a yellow panel—it stuck out like a sore thumb. When you flipped it lights came on, loudspeakers announced to stand back…and the radar went nuts.

“Out, out, out!” You hiss, pushing Sam toward the far end door. He doesn’t need to be told twice as he beelines it.

With Sam leading, you follow him, scrambling up onto the roof of the building near the turrets. Two of the six are online now. Two more switches and you’ll have a fighting chance. Maybe.

Behind you, further in the facility, things crash. For now, it seems you’re safe.

You huff, lightening the death grip you have on your rifle. “Ok, here’s the plan. We’re going to split up.”

“I’m not gonna like this am I?”

“Take the watch. Find the power sources. I’ll create a distraction.”

“No.”

“Sam…” you exhale, closing your eyes. Despite the sheer terror you feel, you manage a chuckle. “We’re not going to get anything done if you keep arguing with me.”

“Let me create the distraction.”

“No.”

“Now who’s arguing?”

“Your shotgun has no range—it’s effectively useless, you’d be dead in two seconds.”

“Fair point. Then give me your rifle, I’m a good shot.”

You’re already unclasping your watch’s band from around your wrist. “I’m not taking the risk.”

“What if I wanna take the risk?”

Shuffling over while still crouched, you bring his arm closer. The watch slides on and you make sure to fasten it tightly. “You already know I won’t let you. At least now you can radio Vasco if…”

It didn’t need to be said.

He looks at the device and back to you. “Why is this startin’ to feel like you’re on a suicide mission?”

You can’t look at him or you’d lose the last of your nerve. “I’ll be on that walkway over there. It’ll have to run through the turrets to get to me and they’ll still have a shot when it tries to climb up.”

The way Sam chews his cheek really underlines how unhappy he is with this plan of yours. “Remind me to have a word with you about your savior complex when this is all over.”

“Hm. I’m looking forward to it.”

A gentle hand wraps around your arm. His eyes are soft, pleading. His other hand cups your face, it’s rough and calloused, but warm. “If you need to run, then run. You don’t have to die for some Vanguard that sends you on a ‘routine’ mission they were too lazy to check first—or for a colony full of dead settlers. Ok? I want you back, with me, alive, and in one piece.”

You don’t trust yourself enough to speak, something sappy or cheesy may decide to come out, so you simply nod.

It isn’t enough for him. “Please, say you’ll come back to me. I need to hear you say it.”

If he wasn’t so close, he may not have heard you through the pounding rain. “I’ll come back to you.” You pretended that you meant it, that you believed it.

“Thank you.” His hand falls away to hold his shotgun. “Now let’s kill this thing.”

“Be safe.” You manage before turning and heading toward your position. The chill of the rain creeps through your spine, but the warmth from Sam’s hand lingers on your cheek. You try to hold onto that feeling.

The steel walkway is sturdy and grated, giving you a good vantage point of the surrounding area. Once in position, you set up your rifle and lay flat, adjusting the scope. Lightning flashes, the crash of thunder isn’t far behind it. Water runs down your face and you wipe it hastily to keep it from your eyes.

The bright fire of the flare casts everything in red. With a good toss, it lands directly in the middle of the kill lanes. Bringing out your pistol you shoot once, twice, up into the air. The alien screams and the sound of wrenching, tearing metal draws near.

The hulking creature appears at the far end of the kill lanes, focused on the flare. It’s huge, big enough to fill your scope’s sights. You breathe deep and exhale slowly as you take your first shot.

The round hits the Terrormorph square in the back leg, crippling it for a moment. Blood leaks out onto the ground below. It lurches before regaining balance on its five other legs, letting out an enraged roar.

More lights come on in the facility. Sam’s already found one power breaker. Two more turrets begin to flash and come online.

The monster’s head swings in a different direction. Toward Sam, no doubt. The realization fuels you with a cold fury. You crank the rifle’s bolt-lever, a long bullet casing flies out of the chamber with a cling. Sliding the lever back with a heavy clunk you even your breath and prepare to take another shot.

You take it, aiming for its other back leg, but miss—the shot glances off the ground. Six shots left.

The thing’s giant head swings back to stare at you directly. Through your scope it’s as if you’re staring it directly in the eyes. Its front legs stomp the ground, and it roars. It ambles forward right into the kill lanes. Four turrets open fire, knocking it off balance and sending it sprawling momentarily. You take another shot, this time severing its thinner front limb.

The thing howls, ear splittingly loud and shrill, but claws its way back onto its feet. The turrets are doing damage, but it isn’t enough. It lurches toward you with surprising speed. The turret fire follows. You take a shot and miss. You exhale and your breath comes out shaking.

It's at the base of the building your walkway is on as Sam flips the final switch and the last of the turrets power up. The Terrormorph slows down a little, struggling to climb the building with two of its limbs missing. You have another 130 seconds, maybe, before it reaches you.

Your fifth shot hits it in the back, effectively doing nothing. The thing is bloody and losing steam from the constant onslaught of all six turrets. You start to feel hopeful. There’s movement to your left. It’s Sam on one of the rooftops. You’re about to give him a thumbs up when lightning flashes—some of the facility machines spark, an alarm sounds, and all lights except for auxiliary backups flatline. An unlucky power surge from the storm.

The Terrormorph has reached the base of the walkway below and is trying to make its way up, now free from turret fire. This would be your chance to run, but something holds you there. A false hope maybe.

You hold your breath, take a shot, and hit it square in the face. It doesn’t stop, clawing at the thin metal for purchase. Pulling the bolt lever and sliding it home, you fire again, chipping its other back leg and causing it to stumble. Metal rails groan and collapse under the monster’s weight. It falls to the ground with a metallic crash. You don’t fire, yet.

Sam is still on the other roof. You wave him off, pointing to the ship. Trying to make it clear that this was the order to run. A clashing sound below snags your attention back to the monster. It’s testing out the strength of the rail supports.

You’re aiming again as it springs up and begins throwing its weight at the steel rods. The vibration of the metal groaning and shifting with each impact reverberates through you. This is your last shot.

You fire and miss entirely as a section of rails to your right collapse and bend, tugging your section down. You’re forced to let go of your rifle to hang on. It clatters to the ground below.

More support beams collapse and you can feel the structure groan before you even hear it, vibrating hard enough to numb your hands. Trying to climb up the tilting walkway was a mistake as the shift in weight caused the whole thing, with you attached, to fall entirely. The feeling of falling was short-lived, something sharp sliced at your leg as you fell into the railing and walkway debris below.

For a moment, you lay dazed and in pain. The sound of rain patters around you on metallic surfaces. The whole walkway and railing fell over, the area was littered with jutted angles and metal parts. Something shifted under the debris. Something big enough to toss heavy metal away with ease. Any hope of the Terrormorph getting crushed by the impact was gone as it reared back and screamed. Its eyes, all six or seven of them, landed on you.

There was no way of escaping, debris had fallen over you. A particularly large beam held you in place on your back. Your pistol, the last line of defense, dug into your hip uncomfortably.

Sensing it had you trapped, the creature took its time closing the distance. Your leg was devoid of all feeling except a vague sensation of warmth spreading around it. The rails on top of you pinned you down, but you managed to free your measly pistol.

Only three or four of your shots made contact, others glanced off the Terrormorph’s armored shoulders or missed entirely. Either way, the low caliber did nothing to it. With an empty mag, and nothing else to defend yourself with, your arm fell to your side. You just hoped Sam was smart enough to listen and go back to the ship.

A loud blast caught the monster on the side of its head, snapping it away from you, and causing it to stumble.

Apparently, he wasn’t.

Sam emptied three more shells into the creature before reloading with cool, practiced ease. One blast dislocated the Terrormorph’s other back leg. Chunks went flying.

It howled and thrashed as he kept unloading shells into it. When he was completely out, he dropped the shotgun and picked up a long rod of metal with a jagged, broken end. The sharp tip sliced clean into its ribcage. When the alien still tried to pull itself up on its remaining two feet, Sam pulled it out with a yank and drove it home into the thing’s head, right above the mandibles. It gave one final spasm and finally fell dead.

At last, the only sound around you was the rain.

Sam dropped the crude spear with a clatter, eyeing the body a few times as he rushed over through the debris.

“You ok?” he panted, kneeling down. His hands cupped your face, bringing the familiar warmth with them.

“Holy shit.” Was all you were able to say.

It made him laugh with relief as he moved to check you over. “And you said a shotgun wouldn’t do anything.”

His hands moved debris from your legs, and he hovered as you yelped in pain. “You’ve got a nasty gash here. We need to get you back to the ship for medical attention. Let me see if I can get this off you.”

With a grunt of effort, he pushed the beam up enough for you to pull yourself out. Your leg was bleeding badly, but nothing you couldn’t fix with some TLC and bed rest. The pain hadn’t set in yet, thankfully.

Near you was a chunk of the Terrormorph’s leg. Feeling oddly disconnected from yourself, you grabbed it, staring at the gross thing, and put it in your pocket for Hadrian.

Sam started taking out bandages and doing what he could to wrap your leg. You could see his hands were shaking now.

Against all odds you both were alive; you started to laugh.

Sam gave you an odd look. “Don’t go loopy on me.”

A giant smile broke across your face. “Wasn’t expecting to live. There goes my chance at a cool memorial or bragging rights.”

“Going face to face with a Terrormorph and only losing a chunk of your leg gets bragging rights. Believe me.”

“Nah. All the credit goes to you on this one. That was just badass.”

He grunted, throwing more debris out of the way, and trying to clear a path. “Wasn’t thinking about how cool it looked when I did it. I was just trying to save you.”

“You know I’ll be telling this story forever, right?”

He chuckles, helping you up, slinging your arm over his shoulder and wrapping his around your waist. “I can see Barret’s expression now.”

“‘Sam Coe, my hero’ is how I’ll start it.”

He groans playfully. “Please don’t.”

“It’s true.” You looked at him as your feet touched even ground. Your faces were close. You could see the rain drops clinging to his hair and beard. “You saved my life.”

When he looked over, his nose nudged yours from close proximity. He didn’t shy away from the contact. Your paces slowed to a stop. “I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again, either.”

Your grin was slow to spread as you glanced at his lips more than once. “Would you prefer a quippy one line as thanks?”

“Mm—no. Maybe something else though.”

You feigned ignorance as his eyes trailed down your face. “Oh? And what would that be?”

“I’ll let you think of it.”

“A hero’s song?” you joked, voice softening.

“Nope.”

“How about a poem?”

He faces toward the room Hadrian’s in with a low laugh and begins to walk again. “You know, if you were as much of a smartass to that Terrormorph as you are to me, it would have keeled over on the spot.”

You put your good foot down and hold it, halting any forward progress. “Ok, ok. I think I’ve come up with something.”

He’s still smiling as he looks at you. Your noses nudge again. “If you suggest a book or a short story—”

His surprised breath as your mouth presses to his is an award in itself. He stays motionless for a moment, as if his brain had short-circuited, before his lips move and mold to yours. Slow and tentative at first, exploratory. Soft and gentle as if he’s afraid of hurting you. His hand on your waist moves to your lower back, gripping your clothes. He leans into you, beard scratching the skin of your face. Your fingers slide through and tangle in his wet hair. It makes him pant into your mouth before kissing you again, more eager this time.

Breaking apart, you both linger close, hot breath mixing together. His forehead leans to yours, eyes still closed.

That raspy voice of his you love so much is the first to break the silence. “You have no idea how long I’ve been wanting you to do that.”

“You could have made the first move. I wouldn’t have minded.”

“Was never sure if you were just being quippy and flirtatious for fun or not.”

“It is fun, but it’s also because I care for you.”

He hums, nuzzling his nose against yours. “Good to know, we’re going to have to find time for this more often.”

You close the distance enough to ghost your lips over his. “We have time now.”

He hesitates, so tempted with the offer, but exhales instead. “You’re hurt and bleeding all over the place, I need to get you some medical help. Plus, Hadrian needs her damn samples.”

“Pshh. I’ve got plenty of blood left—and she can be patient.”

He starts walking again, bringing you with him, and pressing the gentlest kiss you’ve ever felt against the corner of your mouth. “Just wait until you’re healed. You won’t be able to keep me away.”
