31. Apathy - Anathema - Affection 

The last one. It's been a strange journey getting here, and honestly I had doubts that I would, but here we are. I'm glad I stuck through it. This short story is a bit of an odd one to end on but the old dichotomy of love and hate has always been an interesting topic. Especially as the two aren't quite as opposed as people think.

The prompt for today was chosen because I like talking quotes from my favourite media when I do these challenges. I didn't really have an idea in place for it. But exploring the strange feeling of attachment to a person you can't quite hate but also don't feel like you love is something that strikes me pretty close to home. It was a pleasure to put the feeling onto a page, and it has been a pleasure to share all my ideas with the world for the last month. 

Prompt:  31. You were a most unkind and inauspicious man... but for some reason I could not bring myself to hate you. "Isshin Ashina, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice".

We were so close again. Closer than anytime before. „I-.",I started to stop anything we both were going to regret. „Shhh. Don't say anything",he said against my lips as our nosetips brushed agains each other. „Have you found your dresses?",he asked as his thumb brushed over my lips making me weak in my knees. I nodded softly looking at his eyes wich were attached to my lips. „I can't wait to see you in them",he whispered against my lips before placing soft kisses on the edge of them. I closed my eyes breathed out loud in pleasure. His teasing wasn't as useful as he thought. My patience won. „Your patience is kiling me","The contract",I whispered."Fuck that contract"he bursted and pulled me closer by the waist before pressing his lips on mine. ---------------------------- Delana Celine Harvey a 18 year old girl, faces the hart consequences of losing her supporting and loving family due to a car accident.

Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 Newadult

Izuku Midoriya, our favourite protagonist , ( or just mine ) shared a peculiar bond with his parents. Love never existed existed, it remained unspoken, unseen. A mask and nothing else but ashes . Neither affection nor animosity colored their interactions; it was a strange neutrality, a quiet distance maintained until the manifestation of his Quirk-or perhaps, its conspicuous absence. His father's hand was heavy, his actions a constant source of pain. Then came the unthinkable: a sale to villains, a descent into a nightmare of experimentation. Could he possibly escape this living hell? The question gnaws: will the spark of heroism within him endure, or will the relentless darkness extinguish his desire to save? What path will he choose if the system fails him? Will he walk the shadowed path of a vigilante? Will he ever know the warmth of a parent's love? And what of Katsuki? Will their paths ever cross again? Journey with Izuku as he navigates the treacherous path from the depths of despair to... what? Salvation? Something else entirely? His story unfolds, a tapestry woven with threads of hope and anguish, resilience and despair, leading him towards an uncertain destiny. •°•Follow Izuku from hell to heaven's or above•°• _____________________________ *NO IMAGE IN THE BOOK IS ORIGINALLY MINE AND ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE CREATOR * CAUTION ⚠️ panick attacks gore blood swearing deaths protective zawa if any of these would trigger you avoid reading and ENJOY 😅...

Bare with me for this is just a school project made by myself back in 2018 and as far as I can remember I didn't have enough time to refurnish my story because of the deadline. Also this story is a short reference of the books that I've read and movies that I've watched that really sparks my interests in writing stories. This story is about a family's struggle, misunderstanding and separation. There's no perfect family rich or poor. It's a little bit close to my experience but most of are just full fiction. Thank you in advance.
