Secrets - Part 1
Secrets - part 1
Note : Adrian, Ash and Alex are all unisex names, so you're free to imagine your preferred gender in your head ^^
Adrian groans, staring at the blank notebook in front of them. They were supposed to write an essay which is to be submitted tomorrow but they can't seem to find the thing called motivation for the life of them. They've just been feeling so lazy and they can't figure out why.
Even though they may just look like any normal college student who's struggling with their classes, they had another, quite major role to play in society- they were the Hero, and as the title suggests, their job description consists of fighting off villains, rescuing normal civilians, smiling, and more smiling. Adrian wouldn't admit it, but it did get tiring at times. And recently, they've been having to go to these night escapades a lot, since their nemesis, Villain, true to their job description has been causing mischief the entire past week, making Adrian bite off more than they can chew. Thankfully they weren't any serious crimes and most of the time, Adrian felt like they were dealing with a child seeking attention.
And thus here they are, tired of being productive and procrastinating like tomorrow doesn't exist. Oh how they wished that being a hero gave them some leverages in college, but their superiors would bite their head off if word got out. Being a hero was sworn to secrecy, kind of like a secret agent, except in this case, Adrian has to play an entirely different persona.
They groan again, just in time as their friend /roommate walks into the room. "Hey, what's up? Did you get that homework done?"
Adrian gives them a look like they're staring into the void, "You think I'll look like this if I did?"
Their roommate Alex sighed, clearly to them it didn't look like Adrian was going to be done anytime soon and it was already 12 am. They just wanted to sleep, without having to listen to Adrian's groans of agony throughout the night.
"Okay, you clearly need a change of pace so I'll call up this other friend of mine who's great at studying. I met them during a group project and they're like so good!"
Adrian scoffs, but allows Alex to do whatever they want to. It's not like they were bad at studying, they just didn't feel like doing it right now.
Adrian almost dozes off when they hear a loud knock. Alex literally skips over to the door, opening it and eagerly welcoming their new friend into the room. Adrian manages to sit up, still groggy and shakes their head, trying to get themselves to wake up. Once their eyelids cooperate enough, they look up to find two pairs of worried expressions thrown towards them. They immediately whirl around, facing the opposite way, embarrassment eating up their cheeks.
"Uhm, are they okay?" A voice that Adrian has never heard before speaks up. They guess that they're the friend who studies oh so well.
"Well, they're generally better than this, just on lower spirits today." Alex tries to speak up for their roommate.
After explaining the situation to the newcomer, Alex disappears into the quarters of their room with a friendly, "just call out if you need anything!"
Adrian sighs, wanting nothing more then to curl up in their blankets and fall asleep while watching something on their laptop. They were so inside their head, that they failed to notice soft footsteps approaching them and nearly jumped out of their skin when they felt a gentle touch on their shoulders. The said person immediately took a few steps back, clearly flustered by Adrian's reaction.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you." They speak out, voice sincere.
Adrian immediately felt guilty. They were here for their sake, to help them finish their assignment and here they were, being most possibly the rudest person on the planet. "No no, it's my fault, I wasn't really paying attention."
The newcomer smiles at that and Adrian feels their chest tighten in a way that it has never done before. What the hell?
"I'm Adrian, by the way," they say, desperate to keep the conversation going, "and you are?"
"Ash. I guess Alex didn't tell you much about me?"
"Not much except for the fact that you study really well and that's why you would be the perfect inspiration for me to finish this essay."
Ash laughs at that, "I do handle my studies okay, but I don't know how good of an inspiration I can be, but I'll try my best."
Adrian looks at them, face soft, "You're really a nice person you know?"
Ash almost chokes on air, "Huh?"
Adrian realises that that was probably a really random thing to say, voice spluttering as they try to figure out a way to make this conversation less awkward than it already is.
"N-no, I just meant that you really have no reason to be here, you don't even know me and here you are, willing to help me with my essay and everything. "
Ash chuckles shyly and Adrian has to mentally punch themselves to remind them not to stare at how fine they look, standing under the yellowish lighting of their dorm, the shadows painting their face just right. And not to mention that silky voice... oh God.
" -ping people."
"Huh?" Adrian has to ask, as they just returned to reality from inside their head.
Ash just smiles, repeating again, "I guess it doesn't feel so bad helping people sometimes, and that's why I'm here."
Now it's Adrian's turn to smile, and they tell Ash to sit down and get comfortable, while they pop into the kitchen to make two cups of hot chocolate, Adrian and Ash falling into easy tunes of conversation soon after.
-
It's almost half past two and Ash is staring at Adrian, who is peacefully dozing off on their desk. They sigh, eyes fluttering close for a brief moment, just enjoying this tiny moment of peace. Life is anything but peaceful for Ash because of their other secret identity- they were a villain, and its been days since Ash has felt so at peace. It was getting harder to just stay alive every day, and it didn't help that the other villains around town just keep getting greedier, making them take part in reckless missions. A distressed sigh leaves their lips, as they force all the depressing thoughts back down. They didn't want to think about that right now. Right now, they were safe. For some reason, staying like this besides Adrian made them feel some sort of a familiar warmth settle in the pits of their stomach, though this is the first time that they've met them. It made Ash feel good.
I'm just overthinking this whole thing, as usual, they sigh, giving their head a little shake. They stand up from the couch and tiptoe over to the table where Adrian's sleeping to check on how much they've completed. They still have a page left, their eyes flicker to the clock that reads 4:45 am, so it'll be fine if I let them sleep in a bit more right? Ash did walk over to Adrian's desk with the intention of waking them up but after seeing that peaceful smile, and the way they're sleeping comfortably even on an arm chair, Ash guessed that maybe they really did need their sleep.
Okay, I'll wake them up a little later, and with one last glance, Ash walks back over to the couch, deciding to get some sleep of their own.
This is going to have two more parts I think / so stay tuned! / I was procrastinating so decided to let hero procrastinate too lol / well at least they have villain helping them out / I'm soft / also I played around with tenses for this snippet (you'll see in the upcoming parts) / I hope you all like it anyways:)

Our little Games
You stop in mid-motion, with your lips no more than two or three centimetres from theirs. Your breath fans warm onto their flushed skin as they look questioningly up into your eyes. They want you to kiss them. They expect you to kiss them. Itâs written all over that adorable little frown of theirs.
But you wonât just hand yourself over to them on a silver platter. Youâre not that cheap. And besides, youâre certainly not going to make it that easy. You wonât allow room for them to make excuses later, to tell themself you forced them and that they hadnât actually wanted any of it.
No.
You know your own worth.
You are far too precious for that.
If they want you theyâll have to put in the necessary effort first. It has to be their choice, made of their own free will. If they want a taste of you theyâll have to claim it by themself.
Theyâll have to seal this deal with their kiss.
You see the realisation gleam in the depths of those eyes theyâre watching your every move with so attentively. A hint of desperation creeps into the lines on their face. Their throat bobs as they swallow, you can feel it brush against the back of your fingers.
A smile tugs at the corner of your mouth as you withdraw the hand that had been gently lifting their chin. Theyâre now free to turn their head away from you or lower it, but they do no such thing. Something in your gaze seems to be holding them in place still, even after youâve removed the caress of your fingers.
The distance between you appears to be melting away gradually. You wonder whether theyâve noticed theyâre slowly closing it. If so, theyâre doing a great job at not letting it show on their face.
You canât help but sigh as their breath starts to mingle with your own. So close youâre even breathing each other now. Traces of them are in the air all around you. The scent they carry conjures an image of an afternoon walk through the forest on a warm summer day.
Their half-opened lips tremble ever so slightly against yours. Youâd think them vulnerable and on the verge of surrender, if it werenât for that glint in their eyes, the persistent defiance underneath all that need and longing. There is a glimpse of danger lurking in the shadows, a predator.
They draw a gasp from you, running the nails of their fingers down your spine. You knew theyâd try something, yet somehow this catches you by surprise anyway. Your body shudders against theirs.
Pressed flush to them now, you suddenly become keenly aware this is the closest youâve ever been to them. The heat of their body seeps into you, seemingly unhindered by the oh so thin layers of clothing separating you from one another.
They wink at you, as if to tease you one more time. Then a simple touch of their tongue along your upper lip makes the last remnants of your self-restraint crumble as well. You lean in.
And just like that you lose yet another one of these little games.
You should have known better than to underestimate them!
This is super cute yes^^ Thanks @creweemmaeec11 â€â€

When you get this, feel free to respond with five things that make you happy~! Then if you're up for it, send this to the last ten people in your notifications anonymously. You never know who might benefit from spreading positivity~! (No pressure though! :D)
1. My family and friends: they're all a part of my little bubble called life and I'm so glad to have them<333 (they may not be that many people, but they're still precious^^)
2. My girlfriend: definitely one of the best situations that life had sprung on me was meeting them^^ Being a hopeless romantic, and having a history of one sided crushes, giving up was more easier than I thought but then I met them and they make me feel like this starry eyed child again, who's super excited about love. I feel like we help each other grow in our own ways and it's the best feeling really- I feel more myself than I ever am everytime I'm with them and I like myself a little better when I see myself through their eyes â€đ„° They're one of the loveliest humans I've ever met <3 (i swear that when they felt the same way about me I was like, "is this really happening?" đł)
3. Stories: no matter in which form they come- art, books, TV shows and movies, anime; I love them all. Stories and their characters make everyday life more fun and fulfilling for me.
4. Writing: it's more than a craft- a part of me by now. I feel like even if nothing else goes right, as long as I keep writing, I'll have something only I can do and it's a wonderful feeling- to be able to create stories and to have people who enjoy reading them ^^ (that's all of you amazing people!!)
5. Animals/my pet dog: well he's definitely included in the "family" section, but I thought I'd mention this separately as well because he's so precious and I love him so much<333 (for those who are wondering, his name is Bruno and he's a pugđ) Animals in general are also very fun for me:)
Childhood friends have my heart đ„°đ„°đ„°
Snippet #4
tw: mention of a family memberâs death
âWho died?â A familiar voice asked from behind them.
The hero whirled around, their stomach tying itself into a knot. Today wasnât the day theyâd wanted to face the other. Not here of all places, and certainly not now! They swallowed the lump in their throat and clenched their fists in preparation for the fight that should have followed.
The villain, however, raised their hands in a placating gesture. âEasy!â They said. âI didnât come to pick a fight with you. Not on a graveyard. I can see absolutely no merit in disrespecting the dead. Seems distasteful, no?â
Slowly, the hero allowed their shoulders to relax. âAh, right.â They mumbled and lowered their eyes.
âWho died?â The villain repeated, softer this time.

Dancing, nicknames, and us
"Hey, shall I call you starlight now and then?"
Hero asks casually like they're asking their lover what's for dinner, not even batting an eyelash at the cheesiness.
But their lover seems to do enough of that for them, and hero watches as villainâs nose scrunches up adorably at that statement, the moonlight from the tiny window overlooking the busy streets illuminating their face just right.
"Um, I don't know, but that sounds way too cheesy." Villain says politely, not wanting to sound rude or anything.
Hero laughs like they've heard the funniest joke, eyes shut and head bobbing slightly, so they miss the way villainâs entire face lights up at the sound of their laughter, maybe even brighter than the moon for that one moment.
"Hmm yeah, you're right. Part of me thought that as well. " Hero says easily, snaking their arm around villainâs neck to bring them closer. They're dancing to some old record that's always there in villainâs apartment, a familiar tune. Villain doesn't even bother to resist, moving their hand from where it rested on heroâs shoulder around their hip, to pull them closer.
Hero chuckles at that and the words fall out from villainâs lips before they can stop them-
"Do that again."
Hero quirks their head shyly, as if thinking.
"Do what?"
"Laugh."
And hero does just that, not because they're trained to laugh on command or anything, they're no actor- it's just who they are. Hero always had a habit of laughing at almost anything, even if it's not even that funny and it's one of the things villain loves about their lover so much- their laughter.
Hero gasps a little, all that laughing making them tremble in villain's arms. The tempo of their dance is all off but the couple doesn't care one bit as they hold each other in the comfort of the darkness, a pair of matching smiles on their faces- heroâs is bright and shy, and villainâs is raw but sweet all the same, just like their personalities; they're opposites one second and the same person the next. There's no middle ground.
Hero looks up at villainâs face after their little laughing spree with so much love in their eyes, their face and their whole body, the way heroâs fingers gently brush villainâs cheek and they move just a little bit more closer, as if even the tiniest molecule of space somehow doesn't sit well with them and villain swoons with this bubbly and warm feeling in their chest-
"I love you."
They don't know who said it, and that really doesn't matter. All that matters is that they both said it.
Villain wants to run and hide away but they have nowhere to go, their heart pinning them in place. Defeated, they bend down and rest their forehead on heroâs shoulders and they can immediately feel a hand, heroâs hand, caressing their head. Villain just smiles into heroâs sweater.
"Just what are you doing to me?" Villain whines.
"Hmm?" Hero hums, trying to move in circles with villain leaning on them.
"I never knew I could be this cheesy." , Villain lazily mumbles and hero chuckles again.
Villain feels their cheeks heating up at the sound and they can't decide whether to be embarrassed or just drown in it.
"Well if it makes you feel better," Hero begins, "my heart goes crazy when you do cute things too."
Villain peeks up their head a little to catch a glimpse of heroâs face, the soft smile on their lips makes them weak. Hero was just too powerful.
"Let's just... dance." Villain manages with a shuddering breath, afraid that they'll melt into some cheesy goo if they keep this talk up any longer.
"Anything you want baby." Hero says in that cute voice like it's the most natural thing in the world.
Villain groans, smiling and looks like the happiest person on the planet.
