I Dont Love It - Tumblr Posts

It was wrong, but I would've done it too.

Pairing: gender-neutral!reader x Druig

Summary: Reader has an unexpected talk with Druig about his previous actions.

Warnings: mentions of mind control, somewhat questionable morals, druig being a bit flirty at the very end <3

Word Count: 736 - it's just a short little thing I wrote as soon as I got home from watching Eternals in theatres :)

A/N: This takes place in the Eternals movie just after they fight the variants in Druig's village.

Let me know what you thought of this fic and if you have any oneshot/blurb ideas that I could write then just private message me!

Enjoy <3

“Did you have fun playing God for a while, Druig?”

Y/n spoke as he walked into one of the many ruined rooms after the variant attack in his little village.

“Oh great, so now you’re gonna lay into me too? Honestly y/n, I’ve already heard it all from the others and every time it’s the exact same lecture so I really don’t need this from you as well.”

“No, I think you did what many of us would’ve done in your place.”

Druig paused where he was standing, extremely shocked and even more confused, though he tried his best not to let it show on his face.

“Care to expand on that?”

Y/n breathes out a sigh before beginning the explanation they’ve been wanting to speak aloud since arriving at the forest.

“Druig, we've all been around for a long time. Helping people as we can while also having to stand by and watch as the people we save rip each other to shreds. And even if it’s not great, we are mostly used to that by now. But sometimes, the years you’ve spent trying your hardest and still not having it be enough can really weigh down on you. So yes, I do think the rest of us could have easily reacted the same as you did.”

There was a pause as the man was thinking over everything that y/n had said.

It seemed genuine, especially coming from them since he doesn’t think there has ever been a time when they weren’t either truly genuine or extremely blunt.

‘Always the elegant personality’ He thinks to himself. ‘But still...’ he ponders one more question.

“If it was so possible that you all at some point wanted to create peace and interfere with the humans, then why didn’t you? We’re all Eternals made by the same creator, so why do you think I was the only one to do this?”

His voice took on slightly more of an accusatory tone as he tried to figure out what the hell was going on in this conversation.

“I mean, we all have skills and special powers but you are the only one of us who has an ability that makes peace and control so easy, so… accessible. Even if it was forced, it was still peaceful.”

Druig was a bit confused at this because in all honesty, he felt shame for what he did. He took over these people's lives, and while it did give them peace, it was artificial and not consented. So does y/n think what he did was right?

“Wait so do you-”

“No. It was not right, Druig. I know that and you know that too. That is not a matter of opinion at this point. I am not saying that it was right for you to do that, morally or otherwise. I am only saying, I can understand why you did it.”

Y/n spoke in a softer but firm tone, grabbing Druig’s hand near the end of their statement and squeezing it between both of theirs.

“But don’t do it again. If this happens again I doubt anyone will be so forgiving.”

“Don’t worry, this won’t be a recurring thing. Besides, I can think of some other things that could maybe take up my time.” He said moving closer to them with a small smirk on his face, he always was quite the flirt around y/n.

“Mmm definitely”

Y/n’s voice had lowered to a more sultry tone, following his flirty gimmick as they continued, leaning in closer.

“Like... saving the world from an giant evil rock with a stupid name?”

The smirk that was previously there was exchanged for a small, but genuine smile and a laugh as he wrapped his arms around their frame, hugging as tightly as he could.

“Exactly like that.”

No more words were spoken, they just stood there, holding each other for the first time in thousands of years. Gripping onto the other for what felt like seconds but could’ve easily been hours until they heard Sersi’s voice calling out for them.

As they pulled away, a look of understanding was shared between the two. Even after knowing each Eternal member for all the same amount of centuries, they still shared a bond between just each other that no one else could combat. It was an odd sort of understanding, an unspoken agreement, some would say.

They keep each other in check, make sure they don’t go too off the rails. Balancing each other out until the day this world ends and another journey begins.

Or for the rest of eternity, either one works really.

Just trying to work on drafts while these sexbots are trying to catch me writing NSFW content... ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(;￣▽￣)┘

I made some progress on my fear of being shitty at something

I downloaded procreate. I’ve never tried digital art. I’m not great at drawing in general but I wanted to try it.
