I found out it's quite common to break a bone while on the job. It's even worse when you break the arm you shoot with, and it only gets better. Having to do the dishes and my cast gets wet, Loona intentionally bumps it, sweating. I couldn't hate my life more than I do right now.
The only good thing that's happened this week was Nomi inviting me to a picnic. The parks here aren't so... friendly, so we had set up a little spot in her back garden. I could help myself but admire her home, her garden, and her family! It was absolutely gorgeous and I envy her. I wish I was more like her, really.
I sat down on the red and white plaid blanket, melting into the soft padding.

( Fun Fact: I imagined Naiomi's accent to be similar to kitty's (kajortoq) from no evil. It so daymn old now, I looked back at it.. 10 years ago!! This wasn't a planned drawing hahaha. Can you tell? last minute colour, Forgetting to draw more Y/N so I just through the head in 😅)
"So, how are you anyway?" Nomi asked as she bounced the small baby in her baby carrier.
"Uhh work has been okay..."
"Oh, come on, I don't want to know about work!" She paused as Juniper giggled at her mother's absurd tone, "Have you gone ta nice places? meet new people? Got a lover?~" Naiomi winked, causing the baby to burst out laughing.
I sighed and scrunched up my nose. Preparing to tell her the "secret".
"Well uhhhmmmmmmm" I blanked out, trying to find anything else in my empty brain to tell her about. Literally, ANYTHING but THAT would do.
"Oh for the love of the old man, what is it!?"
"Okay!" I put my hands up in defeat, "Well our crystal broke- it was a shotty one so I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. Blitz had to come up with a solution." Taking a breath, my eyes were roaming around the backyard. Struggling to find anything to fixate on. "So he told me about a guy he knew... who had a book"
"Yeah, go onn~" She increasingly asked. "Nowwehavetohaveregulartransactionalsexsowecanusethebook" I spat, trying to rip it off like a bandaid but inevitably coming out as one big sloppy mess.
Eyebrows raised in confusion, Nomi tilted her head "Hold up, what? Slow that down fer me"
"Blitz and I are in a sexual relationship with this guy who has what we need." I looked down embarrassed and defeated "Blitz calls it a transactional fucking- whoops sorry" my air-quoting hands quickly shifted to covering my blabbering mouth.
"Don't worry darlin', she hears enough of it from Bobby, the neighbours, and everyone here." Nomi waved her hand before going back to playing with the light fuzz on Juniper's head while munching on a sandwich. "Anyway, is there a problem with it? Do ya not want ta be a part of it?"
"No, I do." I shook my head, stopping as it felt so hard to say what I was feeling "It's turned into something else" she gave me another confused expression before taking another bite.
"I may or may not have a crush on Blitz and Stolas. And I can't help but feel jealous when Stolas pretty much obsesses over Blitz and ignores me-"
"Wait wait wait, hold up. Stolas? As in Stolas Goetia? PRINCE STOLAS?" Her eyes widened in horror. I nodded. "I knew you had a thing for Blitz since we were teens but fer fucks sake! You're goin' ta get yourself killed! What about his wife!?"
"She knows, pardon but...you knew?"
"About Blitz? Oh yeah, it's so obvious, you both are smittin' fer each other and it's both simultaneously cute and annoyin'." Naiomi shrugged, rolling her eyes.
"Have you spoken ta them bout this?"
"Oh hell no. Nomi it's one thing to be rejected by one but by two people at the same time!!" I smiled at Juniper's little scream. She started kicking and moving around so Naiomi let her down to crawl on the grass.
"Hey, you'll be ok. If ya don't take any chances you'll die in a random ally regrettin' everythin'." Nomi proceeded to give me the biggest bear hug. It was quite suffocating. "You know I don't want that fer you, I love you too much. So just tell them!" I wish it was that easy.
"Fine, maybe."
"How's that business goin' anyway? Heard some talk bout it."
"Good word, I hope." I leaned back onto my good arm as I waved my broken one slightly, "Blitz won't let me help because "We can't risk the target getting away" I said it sucks when you break your shooting arm but I didn't say I couldn't do it." From there I just let all my thoughts go, she was always there to listen when I needed her to.
We spoke about so much, how she's practically the most powerful imp with all those connections, all about Bobby's (her husband) family drama and about the memories we have together.
I hadn't realised the sun was setting. "Okay darlin', I think you should start gettin' home. I don't want you walkin' in the dark"
I said my goodbyes and began my late trek home. The whole time I was repeating the entire day. The conversations with Nomi. What she said and all possibilities that would go with talking to Blitz or Stolas. I was able to convince myself that I was moving to fast and of course, they wouldn't a relationship or anything that would be so stupid.
When I did reach home, I still didn't feel better. I felt worse. How is it so easy for us overthinkers to beat ourselves up from the inside?
My heart aches, along with my legs, feet and head.
I flopped down on the couch. It seemed to hold me in a soft embrace, coaching me to close my eyes and sleep. One by one my arms and legs relax enough so I can just sleep off my emotions.
"EXCUSE THE FUCK ME"
My entire body seized up in fright, ultimately dropping me from couch to floor. I had cramps and pinching happening where they shouldn't be. I looked up at the rude fucker, my eyes had to adjust to the darkness but I could see those bright yellow and red eyes anywhere.
"What the fuck Blitz! What do you want."
"What do I want!? I want to know where the fuck you were!" I was worried for a second that he'd wake up Loona and then that'll be another thing I'd have to deal with.
"Enough yelling, isn't Loona asleep?"
"No she's out at a concert, NOW where were you!?" He took a step closer, arms crossed and I'm pretty sure steam coming out of his ears.
"With Naiomi dipshit. I sent you a message but I guess you wouldn't have seen it considering you've been avoiding me like someone's gaping asshole." I was trying so hard to defend myself but I didn't know what I was defending myself from. I had no idea what this was.
"Didn't I tell you to stay at the office!"
"For one, stop acting like my dad, you're my boss and even then what do you expect me to do!? Didn't you say I was a liability? So I made myself useful to someone else."
"Whatever, you're still not coming to the waking world." he turned his back to me. I had no idea what to say I was speechless.
"Oh, Fuck you"
He stormed back into the bedroom and slammed the door shut. Today was going so well too. Why did he have to be so selfish?

Well, that didn't end well for those two.
I'm so happy! After posting that last chapter it somehow made me want to keep writing. I'm not too happy with the ending. It just spun on me.
