Your Breaking Point - Jinx X Reader [ACT 1.]

𝗠𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 - PT 17

[SORRY FOR THE EXTREMELY LONG WAIT, I WILL BE UPDATING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW.

PERSPECTIVE CHANGE AT THE BARRIER.]

I questioned as to why she needed such a screwdriver just to drill things into walls, but another question was why she needed it. What was she building anyway?

She turned to me and let out a small smile, and a laugh followed with it.

I felt almost bad for her, something I knew that if I told her would break her heart is — she's going to get injected with shimmer in her body soon, and it isn't going to be pretty.

Silco told me that. He said not to say anything to her, and keep it a secret, which I have been doing.

He said there would be 'minor' changes in her body, like her eye colour, and when she gets mad, her body might get all veiny.

She could get more angrier with the shimmer, so that was something I needed to look out for. It was like she was getting anger issues. I turned around and looked among the room, seeing all of the broken glass and the ripped flooring.

I proceeded to clean the bar top, looking at the stains.

"Is something wrong, my starlight?" Jinx questioned me, laying her head on her hand. "No, nothing at all." I lied, just to keep her happy.

"So, do you think a screwdriver could do such?"

"An electric one?"

"Yeah."

"It really all depends on what kind of wall you're using. Normally I'd say yeah."

Jinx swung her legs up and rested her feet on my freshly cleaned barcounter. "Are you serious?" I laughed, watching her laugh as well.

"Yeah, my legs hurt." The dirt from her boots piled down onto the counter as I rolled my eyes at her flawlessness.

"So, is that all you did today? Serve at the bar?"

"I mean — that's my job." I responded, she sighed.

"I know, don't you have anything better to do?" The blue haired female tilted her head as her braids had no choice but to slide to her left side.

"Not really, this is my job, I don't have any other choice to make money—" I responded, being caught off by Jinx's laugh as she ran behind the counter and grabbed my hand, pulling me out from behind the counter.

Jinx then ran outside and smiled, climbing up a ladder which had led to a rooftop, possibly on top of someone's house.

The night sky was lovely. A dark red on the bottom of the sky, orange in the middle and a light yellow fading among the top. The roof we were on was metal, and it was brown. Citizens walked all around the bottom of where we were, seeing me and Jinx.

"Isn't it lovely?" She asked, her braids overlapping each other.

"Yeah— it is.. It's more then lovely.."

[Perspective Change.]

My hair blew in the wind, as I felt the cold breeze against my face. It wasn't— cold, it was more of a medium breeze.

Something I don't feel much around here, even though I'm always out, the air is always cold and dusty.

"Why are we here?" My love pondered, though I couldn't help but give a light smile, and burst into a small laughing fit.

"We're here because there is fireworks here tonight, don't you keep up with the dates? Have you recently?"

[YOUR NAME] sighed , and looked back at me. They tried to hide their laughter, though a small smile was spread across their face.

"No, I haven't, it's because I've been busy with work."

I wasn't surprised by that , jumping down to the lower part of the roof, sitting on it, dangling my feet down from the roof.

[YOUR NAME] slid down and sat right beside me as I waited for the perfect moment of the fireworks to boom.

As soon as a firework boomed,
it lit up the sky with beautiful colours. Red, yellow, blue, and much more. It was a gorgeous sight, honestly.

[Perspective change : Back to you.]

I rested my face on Jinx's boney shoulder, snuggling into her moments after. She wrapped her arm around my body and patted my head, brushing my hair through her fingers.

Her acrylics scratched my head, and not to be weird, it felt nice.

"How are you, love?" Jinx smiled and rested her head on mine, as I closed my eyes.

"Much better now that you're here with me."
