this might be the worst one i've written so prepare yourself
one day, matthias was on a nice trip to ravka with nina. they visited the little palace, and all of nina's friends. matthias especially liked genya. but when nina was busy getting yelled at by zoya, he went for a walk in the gardens. as he was walking, he felt a presence behind him.
"hello, darling." the voice said.
matthias turned around.
"um. hi?" he said. he was looking at a very small balding old man. matthias thought he was gorgeous.
"what are you doing?" the man asked.
"ur mom." matthias told him, laughing. nina had taught him that one. he wasn't quite sure what it meant, but he knew it was funny.
"my mom is dead." the man said. "my name is the apparat. what's yours?"
"i'm matthias. can i call you daddy apparat? it sounds better."
"sure, baby." daddy apparat said.
matthias grabbed his hand, and they walked down a flower lined pathway today. when they reached the end, the apparat got down on one knee and pulled an unwrapped jolly rancher out of his pocket. "will you marry marry me? we can live happily ever after in my house underground. actually, i'm not even meant to be here lmao."
matthias did not know what the hell lmao meant. "actually... i have a girlfriend." he said. and then he kissed the apparat. on the lips.
little did he know, nina had been watching from a window. and a moment later, the apparat dropped dead.
honestly stan nina for that though. no one likes the apparat
