Betrayal

Awkward laughing intensifies.

So the song generator I used let me do a line by line thing. So it'll give me lyrics and I can choose to use them or not. And uhm one of the lyrics was I'm way too good at defrauding.

And I thought I knew what defrauding meant.

Newsflash I didn't. But I can make it work (just very awkwardly)

Also why the heck did I choose picking, sticking, licking as a line? I'm so confused at myself.

Distrusting, Distrusting, Distrusting

Varian hunched his shoulders, hand hovering over the various amounts of alchemical bombs in his satchel.

And now your deceiving is on repeat

His breath hitched as the figure in the shadows let out a light laugh, not quite covering the evil undertone. Varian hated how familiar it sounded.

And every unfairness is concrete

When the figure emerged, it took the form of Rapunzel and Varian repressed the urge to growl. All the memories came flooding back. Of course they chose her.

I'm way too good at defrauding

He remembered the feeling of joy after he successfully stole the sundrop flower. The feeling of hope. He tricked his friend into allowing him to stealing it. Although he didn't quite view Rapunzel as a friend back then.

I know you think I'm bittersweet

Varian couldn't quite chase away the thought that every memory, ever experience with them would be tinged with the depressing fact that they could never quite trust him. That he could snap any second now.

I just wanna be part of your intentions

The teenager remembered the crippling anxiety of being unforgiven, thrown back into the dungeons, out of their hair. When he helped the Saporions, he already had doubts. Seeing Rapunzel only fueled this. He wanted to join them again.

Distrusting, Distrusting, Distrusting

They would never trust him again. Never. He tainted their friendship and it didn't even work. Why was he such an idiot? People called him smart but he couldn't be sure he agreed with this.

Don't be afraid to try tricking

So many crimes. So many lives ruined. He tricked innocent people. Would he ever do anything right?

Depressing and kicking

His own screams echoed through his mind, as he was dragged away by the guards, their iron grip unwavering to the punches and kicks upon them.

Picking sticking licking

The laughter of other inmates rang in Varians ears. The multiple failed attempts to pick the cell lock. The guards...punishing...him for sticking them to the wall with his goo bomb. Licking the stupid plate of gruel clean after he starved himself for a week.

And when you're gone I feel lightheaded

Varian couldn't help the intrusive thoughts that if Rapunzel was gone, it'd all end. All the pain. No. Stop.

And when you're gone I feel relaxed

Why was everything so hard to figure out? He can't even sort his own thoughts from the parasitic ones from the (still laughing) figure. When will this stupid thing stop destroying his mind? His one good aspect.

Betrayal

"You promised!" Varian heard himself half sob half scream. The emotions rushing through his head at the time made him scowl. All the negativity was being bundled up and finally exploded. He hated feeling betrayed. Like he was mere dirt.

A portrayal for you and me

He and Rapunzel were more similar than they thought.

Give me a break I finished most of this in bed while listening to my music playlist on loop.

Anyway if you want another one like this, feel free to ask!
