I'm Only Human: A Hellaverse AU Story (18+)

Monster

June, 23rd 2019. In a secluded forest in Alaska, a figure can be seen attempting to scale the side of a mountain, covered head to toe in several layers to protect themselves from the heavy snowstorm that's hit the area. The supposed stranger carries with them a large bundle of firewood, clutched tightly under their left arm and a camping lantern firmly grasped in their right hand. As they make their way through the snow they make out a cabin hidden among the trees, as carefully as they can the figure makes their way to the cabin. Upon successfully reaching the unlocked front door they enter the cozy interior. It's here that the figure's identity is revealed as they begin to remove their many layers as Loona. She sets the chopped firewood and lantern down by the front door before calling out into the cabin.

Loona: Hey! I'm back with the wood!

Still feeling cold from the blizzard raging outside she makes her way into the kitchen where a familiar and friendly face is waiting for her, curled up at the kitchen table with a warm cup of tea is Octavia.

Octavia: Hey. Glad you're back.

Loona: So, where's you know who?

Octavia: He's cooped up in the bedroom, hasn't come out in a while. You should probably go see him.

Loona: So today's training didn't go well?

Octavia [Saddened tone]: No...we're running out of time. What if he doesn't make it in time?

Loona: Don't worry, we'll figure something out.

Loona then pours herself a warm cup of tea as well as a second one and brings them both with her to the cabin's master bedroom. After carefully opening the door she sees her boyfriend Y/n, sitting on the edge of the bed wearing nothing but sweatpants while talking on the phone.

Y/N: So you'll do it? ...Phew, thank you. Things didn't end well between us and I just want to make sure they're okay...t-thank you so much. And you got my notes, right? ...Okay, thank you thank you.

Y/n then looks up to see Loona standing in the doorway holding the two cups of tea and offers her a soft smile.

Y/N: Hey, I've gotta go, I'll update you later...alright, bye.

Y/n hangs up the phone and Loona takes a seat on the edge of the bed next to him and hands him one of the cups.

Y/N: Thanks, Lovegood. Glad you made it back safely.

Loona: Via told me today's session didn't go well.

Y/N: *Sigh* Yeah...

Loona: Well, look on the bright side, there's still a little time before we even have to be back.

Y/N: Not really...the Extermination is right around the corner, and for once I don't know if we'll be able to win this time-

Loona: Hey! Don't say that!

Loona takes both her cup and Y/n's and sets it on top of the dresser and then grabs her boyfriend by the shoulders.

Loona: You've literally overcome death, you'll find a way to save the day. You always do.

Loona then places a gentle kiss on Y/n's cheek as he playfully picks Loona up, tosses her on the bed, and lands next to her, the two share a brief moment of laughter and then stare into each other's eyes.

Y/N: I've missed you so much.

Loona: I've missed you too.

The two lay on the bed for a moment staring up at the ceiling, contemplating life and their places in it when Loona begins to feel sentimental.

Loona: Hey, y'know what this reminds me of?

Y/N: What's that baby?

Loona [Embarrassed]: T-The night of the Harvest Moon Festival, when we slept together. I know we've slept and "slept" together a lot since then but I still look back fondly to that night.
