~Kira~

I tried not to panic, but I had no idea where I was going. The streets felt neverending, and the people didn't stop coming. I inhaled deeply to calm myself, but it wasn't enough. I felt overwhelmed and scared, but also excited and rebellious.

I felt like I could fly…

And if I could fly, I'd crash right back down and smash my face into the ground.

I was free to go wherever I wanted as long as my “bodyguard” couldn't find me, and that would probably be for a while. He seemed to take my subconscious bait and ran to find me at the end of the alleyway. I couldn't tell if my projection quirk activated out of fear or survival.

It definitely wasn't that serious. Even if he had caught me back in the alley, the worst Da Da could've done was forbid me from having anything or going anywhere with someone constantly watching me.

But thinking about the consequences wouldn't get me to a safer place. I had to actually look around and find somewhere to hide, but also some place to enjoy the city. It seemed impossible to find a place exactly like that, but my luck was turning around today, because I found the perfect place:

A park.

I had only seen them in magazines or picture books, but they could not compare to the actual thing. I was in awe at how nice and beautiful the scenery was. It also had lots of trees. Absolutely perfect for hiding.

I sauntered onto the park’s pathway, appearing as nonchalant as I could to avoid suspicion. I was just another regular, non-villain citizen enjoying a stroll in the park, as one does. My outfit made me fit in with the crowds, the only abnormality being my faded red eyes. Other than my unchangeable facial features, I wore a simple pair of black shorts, and a tight black tank top, with combat boots that fit a little too snug.

I found a park bench nearby, and I approached it with ease. I sat down quietly, choosing to tap my foot to the same infrequent beat that Victor had tapped to in the Everything Palace.

If that place really did have everything, I would have to come back and get more stuff.

A gentle wind passed by as I dropped my chin into my hand, not as calm as I'd like to be. I shivered, not being used to the sudden temperature change, even if it was a simple breeze. I closed my eyes and took another deep breath in, then out, then in, then out.

I opened my eyes to see a boy who actually looked my age (sorry Tomura) sitting next to me on the bench. He distanced himself, but was still close enough that I could feel his presence. I wondered how long he was here…

I stared at him for a couple of seconds, but when I went to turn away, I felt him shift in his seat. I intended not to keep looking at him, but as my eyes wandered to where he was, I saw him staring back at me intensively. I met his intensity with my own, sitting up and turning my full body towards him.

We continued to stare at each other until I spoke up.

“Why are we just staring at each other?” the boy's red and white hair shook as he looked back down at the book in his hands. I looked down as well, immediately recognizing the book's title. I smiled at him.

“I’ve read that book before,” I stated enthusiastically, but the boy continued to look down at it, twiddling his fingers. I tried again.

“I won't spoil it for you, but I found it really good.” The boy finally looked up from his hands, giving me a curt nod. We continued to awkwardly stare at one another. We tried to break the silence.

“What's your name-”

“Why are you talking to me-”

Another brief moment of awkward silence before I gestured for him to speak again.

“I don't get why you're talking to me. Why?”

“Why am I talking to you?” He nodded, tilting his head in confusion.

“Well, simply put, you're the first person I've seen since I've been locked away in my own home.” I knew that my answer would spark a few questions, which was what I wanted. I wanted the boy to keep talking to me. I wanted to savor this moment.

But he only nodded, looking away once more. Again, awkward silence.

I hate every moment of this. I have to get him to talk to me.

Well, if he won't talk to me, then I'll do all of the talking.

“You probably just want to read your book in peace, but I'm gonna talk. You don't have to listen.” The boy nodded, opening his book to the very first page. He must be a fast reader because he only glanced at the page for 5 seconds before flipping the next one.

“So I was created by my Da Da, and it wasn't a normal creation,” The boy's hair moved slightly as his eyes met mine in a slight glare. I raised my hands, trying to defend myself.

“I'm not about to say anything weird! I was just going to say that my Da Da used a quirk to make me. He lured a woman to his place and created me.” I stared off, trying not to think about how weird this sounded.

“After the usual 9 months of pregnancy, the woman had me in a hospital. As soon as she could, she came back to my Da Da's home and she dropped me off with him, like he planned for her to.” Again, his different colored eyes looked up from his book and at me, almost in disbelief. It was understandable… a random stranger telling another random stranger about a possibly fake backstory. But I persevered.

“So my Da Da raised me up to 4 before he took in another kid, who is currently 19 years old. He's mean to me sometimes, but he's the only company I have that isn't a full grown adult.” I began to rock back and forth as my anxiety sank in. I was really telling this random stranger my life story. Even if he didn't believe me, I would face far worse serious consequences if Da Da found out.

But I continued.

“After I turned 5, Da Da gave me four of his quirks, and I got my own. He trained me to use all of them, and I wasn't really allowed to leave the house. I'm still not allowed to leave, but sometimes I get permission to go to the shopping center and buy things. I have to take a bodyguard with me though.” The dual haired boy nodded in what I assumed was understanding, because he looked up and stared at me once more.

“That’s why I'm out here now. I asked to go and buy books from the shopping center, and I had to bring one of my Da Da’s follow- I mean bodyguards with me.” The boy's book was closed and disregarded as he paid attention to my story. He only interrupted to ask a question.

“Why are you here now? Aren't you supposed to have a bodyguard with you?” I acknowledged him, giving him an answer.

“Uh, about that… I kinda ran away from him.” I expected the boy to shake his head in disapproval, like everyone else usually did, but he only gave me another curt nod, letting me continue.

“So, now I'm on the run. I'm gonna be in so much trouble when he finds me and drags me home…” The boy gave me a sympathetic look, as if he understood my struggle. He began to speak quietly.

“What kind of quirks do you have?” I peered at the dual eyed boy, wondering if I had given him too much information. But then I realized, I had piqued his curiosity!

I grinned, scooting closer to him as I replied.

“I have 5 right now, but I'm supposed to get more when I turn 15,” I prepared my hands to show him my quirks at play. The boy instinctively backed away, causing a knot to form in my stomach.

Was I already making a new person I met afraid of me?

I couldn't fret; I had to show him what I could do.

“I have a creation quirk,” I felt more of my energy drain as I pulled a copy of his book from under my shirt, allowing him to flip through the pages to see if it was accurate.

“I can also use my creation quirk to create things from my photographic memory quirk,” I gestured for the boy to flip to a random page of the book, show it to me, and then quickly take it away so I could prove my quirk to him.

I read back the whole page, word to word, and he gave me a ghost of a smile. I smiled back and continued.

“I can…” I turned invisible and teleported to the other side of the bench, gently tapping his shoulder. He turned in my direction before I appeared back into his sight. “...turn invisible and teleport,”

His eyes shook as he grabbed the handle bar of the bench. He looked quite startled.

“And last but certainly not least, I have-” As I tried to give a demonstration of my quirk, I was harshly pulled away from the boy's side, hitting the ground. I gazed at the perpetrator, ready to yell, but I was met with a familiar set of fingers…

Finger guns…

As I tried to run away, Victor’s hand pulled me back up in an attempt to make me stand. I thrashed around, attempting to run away from the villain's arms. But it was no use.

I was caught before I could even finish showing off.

The dual haired boy sat as still as he was before, but I could see his eyes move between me and my “bodyguard”. The only movement he attempted was to raise his hand, but he decided not to fully raise it. He only let it hover over the bench.

Puffing out a gust of air, I gave up on freeing myself from Victor as he held my purposely limp body. He glared at the boy around my age before he gave a fake smile.

“Sorry kid, my, uh, sister's gone off the deep end. She's… she's not there in the head,” I glared at him, the man holding me tightly to prevent me from running. He looked down and gave me a pointed look.

The boy looked as though he didn't believe Victor, but he nodded anyways. I glared down at the ground to avoid getting in more trouble, but I could sense that I wouldn't be able to see the light of day again.

Especially after what I had done.

The villain gave a fake smile to the boy before dragging me off. I looked into the boy's heterochromic eyes and used my final quirk.

‘Thanks for the talk. It was nice meeting you!’

He gave me a nod in understanding, watching as I was forced to leave the park with Victor.

Maybe I'd see him again in the future, but it wouldn't be likely. I'd probably be dead by then if All For One had a say in it.

~Shoto~

My old man begrudgingly told me to take a day off from training, only because he was going to be busy working for the whole day. I still remember him saying, ‘... Don't leave the house for ANY reason. I will be back to train you tomorrow.'

So, with that being said, I convinced Fuyumi to take me with her to the store.

I expected her to say no, considering how much she follows our father's rules, but she was more than thrilled to pull me along to shop with her. Even though I'm not close with any of my siblings, it felt rather nice to have my sister be so willingly compliant to my request. I envy days like this. Days where I have a rushing feeling in my stomach because of how nice I feel. There are embarrassingly hot knots in my stomach that make me feel normal, for once.

My sister makes her way out of the house quickly while I trail behind her. I try to suppress the abnormal feeling of normalcy in my gut, but it's hard to focus when I'm thinking about too many things. I keep my eyes on my sister's feet to feel like I have some sort of control, but I walk like a confused duckling right behind her. Fuyumi finally speaks.

“Hey Sho, are you okay?” She slows herself to a stop and turns to put a cold hand on my forehead. I subconsciously shake under her touch, but her eyes and hand never leave my head.

“You've been acting all weird ever since I said you could come with me. Are you sick all of a sudden? Do I need to take you back home?” She whispers to me as if it's a secret meant to be kept between us. I shake my head, pulling away from her hand and her fiery gaze. I look at her and give a nonchalant shrug, only because my insides have managed to cool down. Fuyumi gives me a shrug back and turns to continue her stride to the store. I walk beside her, trying to determine if her shrug was supposed to be a mockery of me or not.

We continue to walk confidently to the shopping center. I silently gawk at all of the store signs, seeing how bright and colorful most of the designs are. Only a few stand out while the rest appear more modern, but I didn't mind. This felt like a nice change of pace, and I don't feel any guilt at all for asking Fuyumi to go out with her. I can see why that girl must've been so overwhelmed after running to the park.

That girl… Why am I thinking about her? Now of all times?

That strange girl that I met a year ago at the park. I've only thought about her a few times since then, but every time I do, I'm full of guilt. I shouldn't blame myself for what happened, but I could've helped.

It doesn't matter. I should be thinking about what we're going to get from the store. I don't even remember why Fuyumi wanted to go to the store. Was it for groceries? For snacks? Did she just want to get more clothes? Whatever it is, my mind can't seem to remember.

Thankfully, the world answers my questions, because Fuyumi gently pulls me by the wrist and leads us into a bookstore.

I follow along and take a quick look at all of the shelves full of books. Many of the books look plain, while others stand out with their popping book covers. I look back to my sister and find that she's looking through the pages of one of the plain looking books. I stand beside her and steal a glance at the words on the page. I don't get a chance to read it before Fuyumi closes the book and puts it back on the shelf. She pulls the book beside it from the wall and looks at the pages once more. She gets to the third book before she finally glances up at me.

“Oh, Sho, you can go look around if you wanna. I'll come find you when I'm ready to leave.” She smiles before waving a hand at me to leave. I nod, turning towards another section of the bookstore. I don't know what I'm looking for, but it was clear that my sister wanted to find her books in peace, so I will find something to do.

As I wander the store, I hear quiet conversation. I listen in, but I don't pay attention to the voices.

“...For what?”

“Sorry for keeping you here for so long. I just don't wanna get in trouble with the staff for memorizing the books.”

Memorizing the books? Does that person have a memorization quirk? Why would they get in trouble for that?

There are questions in my mind, but I don't hear anything else come from the people previously talking. I continued to wander the store and find myself in a comic book section. I was never really allowed to have books like this, even when my mom was still at home. As soon as I had a quirk, I was forced to train for hours everyday, and nothing was to distract me from it.

I pick up a random comic, flipping through the pages randomly. I land on a page with the recognizable number one hero, All Might, on the page. He stands over a beaten up villain in triumph, fists on his hips as he says, “You're going to jail for a long time!” I shake my head and close the book and slip it back where I found it. I normally would have indulged in an All Might book of any kind, but I did not want to spend all of my time in one place. I wanted to take this all in. Who knows when I'd be able to come back here and just… wander?

Certainly not anytime soon.

I stepped away from the comic books and let my legs lead me to another area. The section I stopped in was quite simple. A singular magazine rack with all sorts of writing supplies hung up on wall racks stood in front of me. I surprisingly found it calming. It was nothing special, but it didn't have to be. I picked up a magazine and bold print reading, ‘All Might saves another round of civilians after a massive assault took place!’

I put the magazine down, glancing around the building, taking it all in. I moved away from the magazines to look at the supplies on the wall racks. I reach for a small and uninteresting item, examining every detail of it. It's just a case of pens. They have a blue cap with a clear body, showing the ink tube inside of it. I put the pen back, attempting to find anything more interesting than this. Suddenly, my body seems to move on its own when I hear a small noise coming from the magazine rack.

I look to see a girl, but she looks familiar. She feels familiar. She has long, black hair that reaches to the back of her knees, black shorts, a black tank top, and black combat boots. Her clothes were all black – too black. I couldn't help but move closer to her, and in doing so, I instinctively reached out to her. I grabbed her arm suddenly and she drops the magazine that she was holding back onto the rack. She looks at me with the same curiosity as me, only for her eyes to flicker with familiarity.

The girl looks shocked before her face appears excited. She smiles at me the exact same as she did when I met her at the park. My lips twitch to make some sort of movement, but I keep my face still, trying to assess the situation. I don't know why I grabbed this girl so suddenly, but she doesn't seem to mind my presence. Before long, she decides to speak first.

“Hello stranger. How've you been?” A smile stays on her face as she looks at me in curiosity. I shrug my shoulders, not feeling up to unload all of the thoughts in my head onto this complete stranger.

A stranger I met a year ago, but a stranger, nonetheless.

The smile wipes away from her face as she has a moment of thought. I wait for her to continue talking, but she remains quiet. I manage to speak through her silence.

“What's your name?” I ask quietly before another question slips through my lips.

“Why are you here?” She glares at me as if I offended her, which I probably did. Despite this, she whispers back.

“Kira. I'm here because I'm getting more books… like the last time we met.” She looks around quickly before leaning in. “I'm with another bodyguard.”

I nod, pulling us into the comic book section I was in before. It isn't exactly the most hidden place in the store, but it also isn't the most obvious spot to be in. I don't know why I'm doing this, or why I'm even wasting my time talking to a girl that I once found annoying. Maybe the guilt is taking over my actions, because I don't think I'd do this in any other timeline of events. The girl, Kira, stares at me with the same confusion I feel, but she doesn't run away. We both relax.

“I never thought that we'd see each other again… especially at the same store.” Kira whispers as she looks through the colorful covers of comic books. I pretend to look at the covers as well, trying not to draw attention to us both. I give her a curt nod, trying not to appear affected by her amused voice. Despite her skittish attitude the last time we met, she doesn't seem too concerned about being caught talking to me. Maybe things got better at home? Maybe she's just really good at controlling her emotions? Does it matter?

I turn to her and lean in to whisper to her.

“I did not expect to see you so carelessly free at a bookstore. Are you not concerned about being dragged home once more?” Kira looks up at me with a blank expression, but I can see a hint of frustration in her eyes.

“Is that meant to be an insult, a threat, or do you not realize the connotation your words carry?” I shake my head in confusion, trying to comprehend if I said something wrong. I realize why she feels frustrated now.

“I didn't mean to insult you. I shouldn't have used those words. My apologies.” She shakes her head, giving me the beaming smile from before.

“You're good. I just didn't think you'd use such… strong language.” She looks up from the comic covers and turns her head to me. “But then again, I don't really know what to expect from you. You're still a stranger.”

“You're a stranger, too.” I say matter of factly. She sighs, correcting herself.

“Fine. We're both strangers. Point is, I'm not used to talking to people I don't know. I'm quite sheltered, if you couldn't figure it out.” I frown at her, trying my best not to fall for her teasing. She smiles back at me before we hear a voice approaching our area.

“Kira, I'm ready to leave if you are.” The voice is not nearby, but we both hear it come closer. We freeze. As the man's voice quiets, we hear another voice from another direction.

“Shoto, we're gonna leave now, unless you wanna get anything from here.” I pause as I hear Fuyumi’s voice, and I see Kira's eyes light up at the mention of my name.

All of a sudden, I drag Kira back to the supplies section and rip a tiny piece of paper from a random notebook paper, grabbing a pen from the wall rack and scribbling something down. I hastily write a message on the paper before shoving it in the girl's hands. She opens her mouth to speak, but I shake my head and pick up the notebook and pen. I quickly mumble a warning to Kira before anything else can happen.

“Put that in your pocket. Don't read it until you get home.” She nods and folds the paper into her pocket.

I walk towards the direction I heard my sister’s voice in, trying to act as if I didn't just make a promise that I probably wouldn't be able to keep. Fuyumi looks up from a small bear sculpting with glasses and a book in its paws, staring me down like I'm guilty of something.

“What took you so long? Were you in another part of the store? I could've sworn I saw you in the comic book section last.” I nodded and pointed her attention to the items in my hands. She stared at me with surprise, but shook it off with a small smile on her face.

“Oh, you got some things? I'll pay for it, don't worry.” She takes my items and we make our way to the checkout. As soon as Fuyumi pays for our things, I grab our stuff and head for the door in a hurry. My sister follows behind, already out of breath.

“Jeez, you're in a hurry to leave. You wanna get out of here ASAP, don't you?” I give her a shrug once more, looking over my shoulder to see her give an exaggerated shrug of her own.

Yes, she was definitely mocking me earlier.

Kaminari Denki x G/N Reader

Genre: Established relationship, fluff, study date

A/N: I thought I would write a short oneshot of a random MHA character just so I wasn't too sucked into writing my series, so I hope y'all enjoy!

Kaminari isn't dumb, but he's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. He is often praised for wearing himself out completely with his quirk – sending huge electric shock waves through any object – but he's also heavily made fun of for the side effects. His brain goes haywire, and he's nothing more than a dumb potato. His friends make fun of him the most in that state.

But you always take care of him. Even when Bakugou is angrily yelling at your boyfriend to, "Stop being a dimwit", you always manage to pull Kaminari far enough to allow him some rest. He often doesn't remember most of it because he's either spacing out, or his brain has been turned to mush. But no matter what, you always make it your duty to keep him on track.

So, you asked your boyfriend to study with you.

"Honey, sugar, lemon, sweetie pie," you called out to him, hoping to make him cringe with your overuse of silly nicknames. But when you finally reached him, he had a huge smile on his face. No disgust in sight. You sighed, sitting on the floor in front of the couch, right beside him. You both sat in silence for only a few seconds before you asked him the big question.

"Denki, I know you're not doing too hot on your school work," Kaminari was ready to deny your statement until you put your hand up, telling him to wait. "So, I propose that we study together!"

Kaminari shook his head, crossing his arms and closing his eyes in defiance. He really didn't like studying. You put on your brightest smile and tried to convince him.

"I'll bring your favorite snacks and drinks, and after we're done, we can watch a movie or your favorite show." You clasped your hands together and leaned in closer to his face. His eyes were still closed, but he could feel your breathing on his cheek.

"It'll be like a study date!"

Kaminari opened one of his eyes, clearly excited, but not wanting to give into you so easily. He cleared his throat and finally spoke up.

"All of my favorite snacks and drinks?" He said in a whisper, suspicious of your promises. You nodded, wishing that he would stop resisting the idea of studying.

"Any movie or TV show? You'll watch anything I wanna watch?" You nodded again, already feeling tired from this interaction. He was really starting to get on your nerves. He leaned in with both of his eyes open, assessing the situation.

"So, what's in it for you!"

"I'm leaving."

"No, no, no, WAIT!" Kaminari bolted from the floor as you slowly made your way back to your room. He caught up to you easily, turning you around in his arms. His face was inches away from yours as he looked into your eyes to see if you were really angry. You tried to hold your composure, but seeing your boyfriend's reaction to you leaving almost made you crack. You couldn't help but let a small smile reach your lips.

After what felt like an eternity, the gold haired boy finally spoke.

"Do you really wanna help me study? Do you really wanna do a study date?" You couldn't hold back your laugh as you saw the boy's sad eyes look back at you. You reached up to pat his head, which he gladly received. You nodded once more, and you gave him a response.

"Yes! Why would I be asking you if I didn't actually wanna help you study?" He yelped in excitement and shook you back and forth like a little kid. Things like, "Thank you," and "Oh my gosh!" were the only words you could comprehend before you felt your butt hit the ground. You looked up to find a seething Bakugou holding back an excited Kaminari.

"Dunce face, your mouth is running all over the place!" Your boyfriend's face lit up as he stared back at you. You gave the angry boy behind him a disappointed look, only to receive the same booming voice.

"Don't look at me like that, smart face! You're the one making him jump for joy like a dog!" You laughed out, only making Kaminari's face light up even more. Bakugou loudly huffed and dropped the happy boy into the floor with you.

"You both are a bunch of fools. That's it, we're all meeting in the common area!" You and Kaminari continued to laugh as Bakugou gathered the rest of the Bakusquad by their shirts and dragged them to the living room. He finally dragged you both to the couch and pulled out his notebooks, ready to teach.

After your successful study session came to a close, you all went your separate ways. As your other friends left, you heard quiet whispers from Mina and Kirishima while Sero still had a confused look on his face. You laughed and turned back to gather your things, only to see an unusually calm Kaminari. He stared at you as if you were royalty, causing you to look away with a blush on your face.

When you looked back, he was still smiling at you like you were perfection, and you couldn't be embarrassed anymore.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Your boyfriend only shrugged, keeping his face on you and your movements.

"Because you're really pretty," he sighed out, leaning his head on one of his propped up hands. You decided to look at anything else but your boyfriend's handsome face, but he continued.

"And you always help me out. Even when Kacchan wouldn't explain how to do something again, you were always helping everyone else, showing us all how to do the problems again." You turned back to the gold haired boy as he stared back at you with no embarrassment in his eyes.

"Bakugou would kill you if he heard you call him that."

"Then I'll die happy." You rolled your eyes and laughed at the audacity of the boy. You gathered your things and pointed at him with your laughter filling the room.

"Okay, weirdo!" Kaminari smiled as you walked away from him to put your things away. His bubble only popped when he heard a quiet snicker behind him.

"You're damn right! Dunce face is a weirdo!" Kaminari's smile disappeared as he felt Bakugou lean closer to him. "And y'know what I do to weirdos, don't you, dunce face?"

Kaminari tried to get up and run to safety, but the boy was pulled back by the blonde.

"Get ready to charge all of the cooking equipment, cuz I'm gonna be cooking for a while!"

And that's how Kaminari ended up in your room again, tucked into bed as you let his mushed brain get back to normal.

*Bonus*

You: "So... Do you wanna tell me what happened last night?"

Kaminari: "... Bakugou made me charge all of the cooking equipment..."

You: "And why did he do that?"

Kaminari: "Because I'm a weirdo."

You: "No! It was because you called him 'Kacchan'!"

Kaminari: "Tomato, tamato, let's just say that I did both things!"

You: "Well, you are a weirdo."

Kaminari: "I'm your weirdo~"

You: "Where's Bakugou when you need him?"

Kaminari: "Please don't get him-"

Warning(s): Mentions of spiders/killing spiders

Genre: Fluff, crack fic

A/N: I thought about how different Genshin Impact characters would react to seeing a spider and I couldn't stop myself from writing this!

Also, sorry in advance, but I'm not gonna write for Mika. I don't know ANYTHING about him, and I don't feel like reading up on him just to make a small headcanon about him

The Men of Genshin (individually) hear you scream in horror. When they run into the room, assuming you're in trouble, they see you huddled in a corner while shakily pointing at the other side of the room...

"THERE'S A SPIDER! KILL IT! KILL IT!"

With no other choice but to confront your source of terror, they...

You might think that Kaeya was at least a little bit afraid of bugs like everyone else, but he's the Calvary Captain... He's had to camp out in the wilderness and deal with all sorts of critters. He's worried about bigger things than a tiny bug.

He walks up to where the spider is and bravely steps on it. He looks back at you with a teasing smile, trying to contain his laughter.

"Do you feel better now?" He asks you as you cross your arms in mock frustration.

"It was a really scary spider..."

Kaeya walks over to the corner you hid in and pats your head.

"I'm sure it was."

Diluc was really busy with his work when he heard your scream. He didn't even bother letting one of his maids check on you because he was already sprinting to check on you. When he found you on the floor, pointing to the spider, he calmed down and tensed up at the same time. For one, he was relieved to see that you weren't in any actual danger... But he was also not prepared to kill a spider.

Despite his body's response, he pushed forward and stepped on the spider. He immediately went to your side to comfort you.

"Are you alright? You probably gave everyone in the mansion a fright." (Yes, he was the one in fright, but he's not gonna admit that).

You smiled, giving his shoulder a squeeze. It was as if you were comforting him.

"Thanks for checking on me."

"Of course." He gave a small smile back, and you both went back to your work.

Venti is either completely sober or absolutely drunk. THERE'S NO IN BETWEEN! So let's imagine two different scenarios...

Completely sober Venti will come to your rescue by getting a small piece of paper and a cup. He'd trap the spider in the cup and move the spider outside. Once he comes back inside, he'll squat down in front of you and bat his eyes at you teasingly. You'd pat his head and give him a grateful smile.

"Thanks for rescuing me..." He'd smile back and give you a cheeky smile of his own.

"I'll always come to your rescue!" He'd bat his eyes and look back at you with a finger on his chin.

"... But it'll cost you a smooch!"

But when you're dealing with an almost blackout drunk Venti... He's not rescuing anyone.

In fact, he's hiding behind you, pushing you to kill the spider.

"KILL IT WITH FIRE! IT'S GONNA EAT ME!" He's screaming his head off. You'll get so tired of it, you'll, somehow, temporarily get over your fears and kill the spider yourself. You look back at Venti as he's experiencing a full on meltdown, and you try to comfort him as best as you can.

"... Why did you kill that spider!? We could've kept it and named it Barbatos Jr.! Whyyyy!!!"

At this point, you were done with his behavior and decided to just let him be.

𝘼𝙡𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙤

He's on the case! He gently picks up the spider and cups it in his hands. He's not even afraid to touch the spider. He walks back in the room and nods in your direction.

"The spider will not be a problem anymore. I've let it free outside." He tries his best to give you a small smile to comfort you. Before you can get another word in, though, he's already headed back to his lab and he just... continues to work...

Before you lose all hope of hearing another word of comfort from him, he reappears in the room's doorway. He crouches in front of you and puts his hand on your head. He's not sure what else to do, but it seems to make you feel better, so he just stays like that for a bit.

"Please, do try to not scream next time. I thought you were hurt."

"I can't promise anything."

𝙍𝙖𝙯𝙤𝙧

He also believes in not hurting the spider, so he tries his best to get rid of the spider for you. He doesn't really understand why you're scared of it, but he doesn't have time to question it. If you're scared, he has to do something about it!

When he manages to get rid of it, he immediately comforts you.

"Are you okay? Did spider do something that scare you?" You shake your head in shame, which ends up making Razor confused. But he's learned not to question things like this, at least, not in the moment. He'll ask about it later.

For now, he'll give you a tight hug and hope that he can comfort you with his actions instead of his words.

Normally, Bennett doesn't have luck killing spiders for you, but he tries his best. If he does manage to kill it, you are forever in his debt.

You only do this because he just spent the last ten minutes attempting to kill the spider, and you feared for your life while he was doing so. He turns to see your head peeping into the doorway with the bedroom door slightly closed. Were you trying to lock him in the room if he failed?!?

"Sorry I took so long, but I got the spider!" His smile drops slightly as he sees you slowly backing away into the hallway.

"You... You can come back in the room..." You come back into the room and give him a grateful hug, trying your best not to laugh at the pout on his face.

"Thank you for using a bit of your luck to kill the spider..." The smile he once had reappears on his face, and he hugs you back.

"I wish it was luck. I'd say it was more determination than that-"

"Just take the compliment!"
