(SNEAK PEEK FOR THE NEW ONESHOT)
_ _ _
“And we have a winner!” Some random adventurer rushed to Rei’s side, grabbing her wrist and holding it high like she’d just slain a dragon. Rei, grinning like an idiot, let it happen, flashing a smug, toothy smirk.
The tavern exploded in cheers. Your eye twitched. People were laughing at Brugo, clapping Rei on the back like she’d just saved the world instead of beating an orc at self-destruction.
You even spotted someone in the crowd pulling out coin pouches, which meant—oh, for f---'s sake—there had been bets placed on this. The energy was way too much for you. But just as you were about to resign yourself to this circus, your gaze caught onto something, or rather, someone.
Your eyes narrowed. Some guy in the crowd had his hand a little too familiar on Rei’s waist, acting like they were best buddies… or more. Except they f-ing weren’t.
Yeah. F--- no.
You didn’t even think.
Without hesitation, you shoved through the bodies, cutting through the celebration in an instant as you grabbed Rei by the wrist and yanked her away. Maybe a little too hard, but you didn’t have time to be gentle. Getting her out of there was all that mattered to you.
“Alright,” you said flatly as you ignored the surprised looks, already done with this nonsense. “That’s enough fun for tonight.”

I had to censor the F-words for this sneak peek, but yeah. That's a small snippet of it. I'm not dead! Also, I decided to do this first as I am reworking the Vi oneshot so it flows smoother.
