I'm In Love With Like A Dream By Thomas LaRosa. 💗

Okay so this is a BIT angst I hope you don't mind as I was wondering that if the RO's were to confess to mc and mc says like "Really? I'm sorry it's just that...it's hard to believe you I'm mean I'm not saying I don't love you it's just that...I'm afraid of you lying to me" how would the RO's react to that? And how would they convince mc they love them really?

Here we go! Angst time! Btw, this might be a bit long sorry, I got excited. 😈 Aurelian:

King Aurelian stood before you, his heart heavy with regret. He knew he had to be honest.

"I love you," he said, his voice shaking with emotion. "I know I've hurt you, but I swear to you, I'm being honest now. I love you with all my heart, and I would do anything to make things right between us." You looked at him with a mixture of anger and disbelief. "How can you say that?" you said, you voice laced with pain. "You took away everything from me, my freedom, my life. You left me alone in that dark cell for a century Aurelian. A century! And now you come here and say you love me?"

Aurelian felt a lump from his throat. He knew he didn't deserve your forgiveness, but he couldn't help hoping for it. "I know what I've done is unforgivable," his voice barely above a whisper. "But please, give me a chance to make it up to you. Let me show you how much I love you, and how deeply I regret what I've done."

You hesitated for a long time, your gaze locked with Aurelian's. You have never seen him this sincere, his eyes burning with plead for your forgiveness and regret. Tears streamed down your face, your heart is aching with pain. "You don't understand," you voice trembling. "I loved you, Aurelian. I trusted you with my life, and you threw it away like it was nothing. How can I ever trust you again?"

"I'm sorry," his voice filled with remorse. "I know saying this won't take away your pain, but I'm so sorry for what I've done. Please, give me a chance to make it up to you. I'll do anything, anything at all, to make things right between us."

You looked at him for a very long time, finally you gave a small node. "Fine," your voice barely above a whisper. "But don't think this means I forgive you. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself, but I don't know if I can ever trust you again, Aurelian."

He stepped closer to you, his hand reaching out to touch your cheek, but he stopped mid air. "Thank you," his voice filled with hope. "I promise, I won't let you down again."

Elara:

Elara stood before you, her heart pounding with nervousness. She had rehearsed what she wanted to say, but now that she is facing you, her words seemed inadequate. "I...I Iove you," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. "Please believe me when I say that my feelings are genuine. I want to be with you, with all my heart."

You looked at her, your expression guarded. "I want to believe you," your voice shaky. "But I've been hurt before. I trusted someone so much, and he broke my trust into a million pieces. I don't know if I can go through that pain again."

Elara felt a ping of sympathy in her chest. She knew who you were talking about it. "I understand how you feel," her voice gentle. "But please, don't give up on love. It's scary to trust again, but sometimes the risk is worth it."

You looked at her for a long moment, your expression softening. "How do you know?" you voice filled with vulnerability. "How do you know that your love won't hurt me?"

Elara took a deep breath, summoning the courage to be honest. "I don't know," her voice raw. "Love is unpredictable, and it can be messy and painful. But it can also be beautiful. I can't promise you that I'll never hurt you, but I can promise you that I'll always be honest and true to my feelings."

You looked at her conflicted, "I want to believe you," you closed you eyes for a moment. "But I'm scared."

Elara took a step closer to you, signaling for a permission to hold your hands, you nodded. "I know," her voice filled with compassion. "But you don't have to be alone in your fear. I'm here for you, and I'll support you in whatever way you need. We can take things slow, and we can build trust between us, one step at a time."

"Thank you," your eyes shining in emotion. "It's nice to know that you're here for me."

Elara smiled at you, "I'll be here for you, always."

Kazuo:

Kazuo stood before you, his heart bounding with nervousness. He had never been good at expressing his emotions, but he knew he had to tell you how he felt.

"MC," he said, his voice shaking. "I have to tell you something. I...I love you."

You looked at him, your expression guarded. "I...how can I trust you?" your tone bitter and hurt. "I've been hurt before, Kazuo. I can't go through that again."

Kazuo closed his eyes, he knew that this is what you would say. He knew the pain you suffered all these years, he was there when it happened. But he also knew that you saved him, in more ways than one.

"MC..., you saved me. You saved me from a life of pain and loneliness. When I was lost and alone, you showed me kindness and compassion. You helped me find my way back to the light." His voice filled with emotions, tears started to fall from his eyes.

You looked at him, your expression softening, "How did I help you?" your voice filled with tenderness.

"You showed me there was still hope," he wiped his tears and covered his face with his hands. "You showed me there was still goodness in this chaotic world, that there was still people worth fighting for. You saved me, MC. You saved me from the darkness that had consumed for so long."

Tears started streaming down your face, "I had no idea," you voice shaky. "I'm sorry, Kazuo. I had no idea how much you were also hurting."

Kazuo moved closer, asking for you permission to hold you, you nodded. "It's okay. I want you know to know that, I'm here for you, to stand by your side, no matter what. I promise to love you with all my heart and protect you from any harm or pain. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe."

You leaned on him, "I trust you, Kazuo. I know you'll keep me safe."

Aiden/Ava:

A took a deep breath, their heart pounding as they prepare to confess their feelings. They knew you don't trust people easily anymore, but they couldn't keep these feelings bottled any longer or they would go crazy.

"I have something to tell you," they said softly, their eyes shining and locked onto yours. "I know this might sound like a joke, but...I've started to feel something more for you. Something deeper."

You looked at them, your expression guarded. "A,I...I don't know if I can do this," your voice filled with uncertainty. "I don't know if I can trust this much again."

A nodded trying to keep their emotions in check, " I understand that you've been hurt," their eyes filled with warmth. "But I want you to know that I would never do anything to hurt you. I care about you too much to ever do that."

You looked at them, your expression softening slightly. "I know you mean well, A."

A stepped closer to you, their eyes locked onto yours for permission, you nodded. "I know it's hard," they said softly. "But I want you to know that I love you. I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't mean it. I know it might take time for you to trust me, but I'm willing to wait. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to show you that you can trust me." they gave you the most pupped eyed look and you chuckled.

"I don't know what to say," you voice hesitated. "I never thought anyone could love me, after everything that happened. But...maybe I can learn to trust you. Maybe we can try."

A reached out and held your hands. "I would like that," a smile spreading across their face. "I would like nothing more than to try, to see where this takes us."

Me rn:

Just finished reading the book series villains by v.e. schwab…now what?

Meet Kazuo Sakuragi!

Kazuo Sakuragi [RO] - The Loyal - Lycan

Age: 30 [ 6’2”(188cm)|Black hair |Black eyes ]

Note: I couldn’t edit it correctly but his hair should be chin length, and his face covered with some old scars.

Kazuo was once a happy and loyal member of his small village, where he lived with his wife and daughter. He was known for his kindness and generosity, always willing to lend a helping hand around the village.

One fateful night, a vicious lycan attacked Kazuo's village, killing his wife, daughter, and all the villagers. Kazuo fought valiantly, but in the end, he was bitten by the lycan and left for dead. As he lay there, crying and screaming in agony, he felt his body changing, turning him into a lycan like the one that killed his loved ones.

Filled with anger and sorrow, he tried to look for the lycan for revenge, but his new identity that he still couldn’t control scared him into remaining in the village for months.

One day, the protagonist was tasked with hunting a wild lycan in the area, and they stumbled upon Kazuo in his lycan form. Despite Kazuo's ferocity, the protagonist felt a deep sense of sadness and compassion for him. Seeing the pain in Kazuo's eyes, they helped him adapt to his new life as a lycan.

Kazuo became fiercely loyal and protective of the protagonist, admiring and respecting them for their bravery and skills. Filled with respect, he joined the ancient order of the warriors, fighting alongside the protagonist. He promised himself to someday find the lycan that destroyed his life and kill it with his own hands.

Physical Appearance:

In his human form, Kazuo has a powerful and imposing presence. He stands at 6'2" and has a muscular build that reflects his physical strength and endurance. His body and face are covered in scars, new and old, some of which are still healing.

Despite his rugged appearance, Kazuo's face is sharp and defined, and his expression is always stoic and serious. He has black eyes that seem to see right through you. His hair is jet black and chin-length, often disheveled, giving him a slightly wild look. His skin is warm beige with a hint of tan from training in the sun.

As a lycan, Kazuo's appearance changes drastically. He becomes larger and more muscular, with thick black fur covering his body. His eyes become a bright shade of yellow, and his teeth and claws become razor-sharp.

Aurelian is the king who betrayed right? That is probably the most red flag romance I've ever seen (but who doesn't love angst).

Yup! Out of the two characters with red flags in my writing, the romance involving Aurelian is the one that promises the most angst, so brace yourself for an emotional rollercoaster.

Meet Elara Pallas!

Elara Pallas [RO] - The Counciler - Elf

Age: 23 [ 5’3”(164cm)|Dark Brown hair |Brown eyes ]

Lady Elara Pallas is an elf and a member of the order. Her family is comprised of great scholars who have always placed a strong emphasis on her education and knowledge.

From a young age, Elara showed a remarkable aptitude for learning, and she quickly became known for her intelligence and analytical skills.

As she grew older, Elara became more interested in the world outside of Celestia. She studied the histories of different kingdoms, dangerous plants, and creatures that lurked around the forest that surrounds the gates of Celestia. She also learned about the ancient order of warriors and their role in maintaining peace, which fascinated her.

Elara was determined to join the order and become a councilor member herself. She knew that the hard work she put into studying and learning could finally be put to good use in the order, and she was eager to make a difference in the world.

As a councilor member of the order, Elara quickly distinguished herself as a skilled strategist. She was responsible for overseeing the order’s operations and making crucial decisions, and her calm and collected demeanor made her a respected figure within the kingdom.

Physical Appearance:

Elara has russet, reddish-brown skin with a warm, sun-kissed glow to it. Her big, dark eyes are full of intelligence and depth, and they sparkle with a curious glint whenever something interests her. Her features are delicate and refined, with full, expressive lips. Her hair is a rich shade of dark brown and falls in soft, shoulder-length ringlets around her face.

Elara is not one to draw attention to herself, and despite her parents disapproval, she prefers to dress in simple, comfortable clothing that allows her to move freely and focus on her work.

Hi - just thought you should know, the demo link under your bio on the tumblr page uses a broken Dashingdon link. I assume since you've moved to itch. io, that link is no longer relevant, so thought best to point it out 😅

Fixed! Thank you for pointing it out!

The public release 🎉

All im saying, it'd be better to start off fully with twine. Down the line, you might switch over from cs to twine and it'd be hassle trying to send over those variables from there to over there

Yeah, that thing that I was afraid of because I always had in mind to eventually make my game into twine. It might not compare, but I know the struggle of changing from one code source to another with past projects I did for college, and I really don’t want to stress over it when I could continue writing chapters.
