My Time; A TWST Fanfic

The Aftermath

(Prologe 2/?)

“What took so long? It may be the beginning of the day but we can not waste time!” Crowely says rather aggrassivly as I excite the room. “My apologies sir, I was having a hard time comprehending my situation.” I say, still a bit shocked. Crowely nods before turning around and walking off in the direction of the library. Yuu and I follow after him.

Yuu falls behind a bit, whether it’s from fatigue or their legs are just too short I don’t know. I stop in front of Yuu for a few moments and he runs into me. “Why did you stop?” They ask, looking up confused. “Would you like me to carry you?” I ask looking down at them.

‘Why did their face just become so red? Are they sick?’ I question myself. “W-Why would you ask that?!” They say while the redness on their face calms a little. “You’re struggling to keep up with the Headmage and myself. If I carry you on my back you won’t have to worry about over exerting yourself.” I say confused, my head tilts to the side a bit. “Did I say something inappropriate?”

I ask, Yuu shakes their head as his face returns to normal. “No you didn’t. The question just caught me off guard.” They say as they look back up at me. “If you’re sure, then I’m ok with you carrying me.” They say, I nod before bending down with my back towards them.

They seem to hesitate before climbing onto my back. I quickly grab onto their legs, making sure none of my skin touchs them, get up from off the ground, and follow where Crowely had gone. We quickly catch up without Crowely noticing that we had stayed behind. After a few minutes we reach the libary. I kneel down to let Yuu off, to which they do. Crowely directs us to grab a few books and sit down.

He goes to grab books about this world’s geography and its history. Yuu grabs similar books, and a few about Twisted Wonderland’s history. I quickly make it to the fiction section and pull out a few books that catch my interest. I return to the table, sit down and start reading.

The two start discussing about the different lands from where Yuu lives. I’ve never heard of any of these. Yet they sound so.. intriguing. A place with tall buildings, housing that looks similare based on the reigen, people of mixed ethnicity, and no magic. ‘...That sounds like a beautiful place..’ I think before going back to my reading, but my brain keeps going back to the thought of a magicless world.

‘What would it be like? How does it look? How does their machinery work? Do they use spectial effects in their performances? What about their entertainment? What abo-’ “Ahem! Will you help us or are you just going to sit there?” Crowely says while glaring at me. ‘Greate, the bird brain wants attention..’

“I apologise sir. I’ve been listening and as far as I know there is no such place that Yuu speaks of. At least not anywhere in history since the Magic Boom. I don’t know if there is anything before it, but none after it.” I say as I pick my head up from the book and look at Crowely. He seems to be trying to process that, so I look over to Yuu. They have turned pale, almost as if they're about to pass out.

I set my book down, get up, pick up the chair and move it behind them so that they can sit down. They slump into the chair, resting their arm on the table, their hand holding up their head. “H-How is this possible?!” Yuu says in surprise, “Only yesterday I-I was in town. I-I was talking to my friends an-and family!” They continue as their breathing becomes uneven, their skin was starting to pale and it seemed like they would pass out soon.

I stand up and move the chair I was using to behind Yuu. I set a gloved hand on their shoulder, I guid them to sit down slowly. Seeing as they are not calming down themselves, I instruct them to try and take slow deep breaths. They continue to hyperventilate when Crowely starts talking about Yuu possibely being from another planet or dimention.
