It just felt right because It was unnecessary drama.

First kiss(23)

I didn't ask to be born, didn't ask to have a conscious mind that could think, I didn't ask for the capacity to feel feelings, it was normal for me to know love, to curse love, to understand love, to hate love, to grow up and get fucked.

They say the second you meet the love of your life, you get butterflies in the stomach, you hear the bells ring, you see the colour of your love, you just know that they are your love.

But Ann doesn't have a heart, Ann stooped loving, What is love? is a myriad of emotions for different people and Ann, the only thing that is love for Ann now is the moon.

But for Vlad, he knows what love is, he just hasn't found his Violet Evergarden. He only wants the soul.

But news flash, they're both horny bunnies, it's just one rather shameless while the other justifies their trauma for the reason of their constant pervasive in life.

"Why is it you wish to die?", queried Vlad, the air was grim between the both of them.

They started with the wrong start.

Vlad stumbled upon Ann slitting their wrist and licking the blood of the penknife with dark glee in their eyes as the tears ran loose.

"Let's turn that question around", answered Ann.

"Is there really any value in this thing we call living?"

"Okay, darling.....you are too serious for your good, let me buy you ice cream. What is your favourite flavour?", Vlad was dumbfounded by the answer, the kid was what,15 16? He wondered if he could ask the kid, its age and gender. The kid is pretty. The kid has pretty eyes that remind your endless darkness. Fuck, he found a pretty kid but the kid is suicidal.

"...Rum laced...," Ann replied, now genuine hungry and wanting to get tipsy since Ann skipped breakfast but had been drinking water.

Ann wasn't having it with Vlad, Ann just glared at him. Vlad was hell-bent on keeping the penknife and not giving it back the reason it was unhygienic and the kid was a walking Hisoka.

Okay, now you are just an alcoholic. I am buying you a strawberry sundae....with fries..., Vlad got his answer, the kid might a year or 2 younger than him if the kid drinking alcohol since he just turned 20, at the mention of ice cream, the kid just glared at him but at the mention of fries, the glare softens and a genuine smile appeared with Thank you as a reply to his gesture.

Thank you, Ann replied with a *smile that would infect souls to smile. Ann had a pretty smile indeed, great I'm a sucker for a kid I just met*, Vlad voiced out in his head, he needed to touch some grass.

"Anyway, how old are you?", Vlad asked clearing his thoughts.

"How old are you?", Ann asked back

"20"

"Oh, I am 18 with Daddy issues, just figured I would tell you since you look like you want my soul.", Ann countered back out of context.

" And why the fuck are you telling me that and no I don't eat souls, scorpion?"A blush was threatening to creep on his skin.

"Figures, you might want to know that and yes I am a Scorpion.", Ann laughed knowing they made him blush.

" Wait, what your gender?", Vlad regretted asking, Ann turned sour again, he already started to miss the laugh.

"Take a guess, peasant.", Ann voiced out pissed.

"Boy....", Vlad was on thin ice, the kid has a flat chest, and there was also an option of wearing a binder but the kid wearing a floral pattern skin-tight jeans, maybe just a nonbinary in midst of transition.
