47: Crescent

A/N: ooOooOooOoOOOoooh! I have not been missing for almost two weeks!
oh. shit. what was this story about again? Something about homoerotic robots fighting klansmen right?

ya miss me? anyways

  Crescent follows me into my room and gently closes the door behind her. I sigh and sit down on the bed, looking over at her. She looks around inspecting it, before shrugging. "Shame I can't use the greenlight to prevent curious ears but oh well, maybe it'll do them good." Her red eyes meeting mine finally, we stare in silence for a moment.

I frown a bit, before taking a deep breath in. "Do you hate me?" My question throws her off, surprise growing on her features. She glances away from me for a moment, before back to me. "I am unsure, split even. There's a part of me who hates you because of what's happened. I've lost two people I considered sisters whom I loved greatly, while the other reasons out that it's not your fault." She scratches the back of her head awkwardly from her admission.

I turn to the floor in front of me, leading to the closet. "i don't blame you. i'd hate me too if someone randomly came in, and my friends all changed drastically." She steps forwards but I shake my head. "I wish I could truly be to blame. I never wanted any of this. Hell, before I got the job I was depressed thinking about the future. Now I'm unsure if I'll even get one."

Her red eyes soften looking at me, before taking more steps over to me. She gently places a hand on my shoulder assuringly, with me looking up at her. "You're not to blame. This is just a really unfortunate situation that you got placed into. It could've been anyone in this position, but I'm glad it's you." My eyes narrow in confusion as she sits down next to me on the bed.

"You're smart, caring, and thoughtful. You found out what's happening is wrong, so you chose to back off of them and not take advantage. For women of their status that takes a lot of strength, and I'm sure a little fear too." She chuckles towards the end and I shrug. "but I did at first. in Hawaii with Sarah. Knowing what I do now, I'm unsure if it was even real. If it would ever, be real." I sigh looking away from her.

We sit in silence for another moment, as she rolls over what I said in her head. I inspect her hair, the dark blue star covered sea being a spectacle to watch this close. Her red eyes glance over to me, noticing my gaze and chuckles. "It's genetics, part of my powers funny enough. People ask all the time how to replicate it but, they can't. I don't know if it was real with Sarah either, but the moment was. Cherish it. Even if this ends well and she hates you, it doesn't need to be a bad memory."

I nod lightly in agreement, looking away from her again. "Back there during the game, when asked who I liked the most... I wanted to say you as well." I feel her gaze look back at me in a quizzical way. "You're not being controlled, or whatever the virus does to them. Yet you still defend me. Both you and Jake risk yourselves to do so. So I, appreciate it a lot. Thank you." I gently finish as I feel her shift on the bed.

She stands up slowly, walking away from me before stopping. "I was raised to do so. To always protect others because of my strength. Jake and I know the potential consequences of our choices, but if it's to save a life we'll gladly deal with them." I look back over at her as she reaches the door grabbing the handle before pausing. "Oh and be careful with statements like that. Without the virus, I don't think you realize the effects you can do."

whuh?

The door closes behind her as I sit there, furrowing my eyebrows harshly. What do you mean without the virus? No. That can't be it. You're Fuckin with me as payback. right? I lean forward placing my head into my hands, sighing deeply. I was just showing my gratitude, how in the world is that related to the virus?

A knock at the door happens taking my attention away, did she forget something? The door slightly cracks open, with a green eye poking through to find me. Once done the door opens more slightly, revealing Janice standing there in pajamas? She meets my gaze and I nod for her to come in, and shuffles over to me with a cautious look on her face.

She plops down next to me on the bed replacing Crescents spot, but slightly closer this time. I watch her fidget slightly as she refuses to meet my gaze now, playing with her hands. "So, I uh overheard a bit. Jay filled me in too as well, a virus huh?" She asks finally as I sigh lowering my shoulders. Her head slowly turns to me, the deep green pools showing my reflection. "I know myself. Even with these, effects. I'd still love you the same." She admits with a tint of red flashing across her face.

My eyes widen but narrow afterwards looking at her. I almost roll my eyes but she stops me, "I never told you about this. But I have dated before. He was at first everything I dreamed of. Kind, loving, strong. But he knew he was my first, so he'd take advantage in ways. Especially with my powers. Always asking for things to be helped or done with, but when I wanted to ask for something I'd get nothing in return."

My eyes soften at the revelation as she turns away from me shyly. "After weeks of that, my heart had grown colder. I had started to rebel, trying to reason out the actions to hopefully better things for us. But he didn't care, especially when yelling at me. He'd tell me I was 'ungrateful' for someone dating a freak like me." I had almost forgotten, before being powerful hero's they're still people with experiences.

I lean over placing a hand on her shoulder assuringly, her gaze turning back to me softly. "When I first met you, I thought of you as just another person. I saw right through your lie in that office, making me believe you were similar to him. But then I saw that email when catching you in Scarlett's office that you were a victim similar to me, but it was in Hawaii that you protected me. Knowing my strengths and powers you still risked your life, and that's what convinced me. I don't know when Scarlett jumped me with that virus thing, but that's why I say without it you're still someone special."

We sit staring at each other before she leans in and hugs me tightly. "truth is. i know about you and Angela. i was gonna take advantage, but with what i've been told. i want to be absolute in my feelings for you. while also respecting your boundaries so that's why I'll wait. when this is over, and I'm "cured" then we can discuss things." She whispers before letting me go quickly standing up rushing out the door.

what am I gonna do with these girls?

A/N: Two weeks and I manage to write 1200 words wow what a great worthwhile wait!

Anyways, apologies for that. School and work has been beating my ass and motivation to write this, but I did warn you guys this would happen so meh.

Developing my own characters is hard. Especially with some contradictions of early chapters I'm fumbling over myself fixing that shit up. With Crescent it'll be a bit tough to make the interactions with her humane and semi normal, especially in a yandere story where the girls are supposed to throw themselves at the MC.

I'm piecing it together though. Mainly at work recently I'm cooking the ideas of what I'll do next, so I'll throw them into the grinder of my notes app and build on em.

hopefully with longer chapters and more substance.
