The White Pill (Ruvik X Reader)

Self ✓

Hi guys!

I'm sorry for the delay, but the chapter is finally out.

I'm sorry if it feels like you're in a rollercoaster of emotions. I might be a tiny little bit insane right now, so things might seem to be going from one side to another, and back really quickly.

~Juli Kidman~

The agent was laying on the sofa in her living room, reading reports about the preclinical tests made on the patients who were going to be used on STEM. She had looked over a dozen of those things before, but still couldn't believe in her eyes.

After a moment she left the papers aside, together with another pile of clinical reports and a mug of coffee that was on the center table beside her. She wasn't going to read that crap anymore. The 'ice bath' and the 'shock therapy' had been enough terror for the night. Well, maybe even for her entire life. Those information had left her with a bitter taste on her mouth and a burning sensation inside of her chest.

"This is monstrous." She said. To no one in particular, she just felt the need to say it out loud. "How can someone do this? Is this doctor even human!?"

She sighed exasperated. Awful. Was the only word she could think of while processing what she had read. That, and the combination of it with 'extremely' So, that whole thing was extremely awful.

"Yeah, he is human." Said a voice coming from behind the sofa, from the front door of the apartment. "But that's the main source of monstrosity, isn't it? Humanity."

Juli didn't need to look to know who it was, Tatiana was the only other person that had the keys to the apartment since they were housemates. And Kidman had already gotten used to the fact that her friend was disturbingly noiseless. Even if it was annoying at times, Tatiana's light feet reflected part of her personality. And Juli liked that.

"You know, you should have chosen the spy career instead of Medicine. You have a natural talent." Juli said while staring at the ceiling. "I didn't notice you until you spoke, and you know our door is usually loud..."

She heard the woman's soft chuckling.

"I called a joiner two weeks ago, it's fixed. The door it's been silent since then." Tatiana sounded amused. "I can't believe you didn't notice."

Juli got up and looked at her, she was struggling to take her heels off while carrying three shop bags. Geez, I forgot to go grocery shopping... She remembered, and went to help.

"I assume you didn't notice that there was no food because you're fueled specifically by caffeine." The black haired woman said. "But I, your housemate, still need to eat. And, of course, make sure you don't starve yourself to death."

"I'm so sorry about this. I really forgot it was my turn to do the shopping."

"I'll forgive you..."

"I promise that I won't..."

"Once I take a long bath." Tatiana cut her off. "And so you know... You're cooking tonight."

"Wha-What!?" Both had already got to the kitchen, and left the bags on the table. Now Juli was starting to stow everything. "Come on, you know I can't cook. I can't even make instant noodles right!

"Well, you better make sure to cook something edible anyway." Tatiana walked through the door, back to the living room.

Juli sighed looking at all the vegetables and fruits. She really had no clue of what to do.
