Darkness Within Us | A Spurple Royalty AU

Spinel's eyes widened. "So you just walked up here through the front gates?" he asked incredulously. The boy glanced over his shoulder and seemed to give a small smirk.

"What, you impressed?"

"Appalled."

"Mhm."

Spinel fell in line beside the boy, who adjusted his mask. Spinel looked over, an eyebrow raised. "So you just walked right in," he concluded. The boy gave another shrug as he peered around the corner of an intersection.

"If the window doesn't work, the front door is usually your next best guess." He looked back at him. "Though, I lied. We're not going through the front door. Come on."

Spinel stumbled after the boy as he grabbed his wrist and started down the hall. Even though pain flared through his wound with every step, he ignored it and pushed on. Every ounce of pain would be worth it after this, when he found his brother. It would all be worth it, and it would all be okay again. It had to be okay again...

Because Spinel wasn't sure what he would do if it wasn't.

It's fantasy, it's gay, and it's gonna be a great day.

For me, not for the characters. Oh, and also, angst is prominent here. Also has swearing, and the chapters are pretty long sooooo enjoy? Lemme know how ya like it lmfao
