—synopsis

Jonah ‘Spit’ Doe, a student in a not-so prestigious academy for mutants, is exactly that; a mutant. Faced with discrimination for his abilities, which include his corrosive saliva and subsequent regenerative power, he’s been seen as a freak among nature. He lives up to his title, though, and has garnered quite the reputation for himself for his poor habits of picking fights, causing public unrest amongst the school, and melting school property with his spit. Spit, as he likes to be called, also holds certain beliefs that rival that of the purpose of the school; to create an army of super-powered soldiers from mere children. Spit refuses to become a dog of the military, and he lets this be known. He’s a terror on school grounds.

Now, enter Coda Redd, another student and prodigy of the school. Hand-picked by the Principal herself for his power, endurance, patience, and prestige, Coda is everything Spit stands against. Everything that Spit isn’t and refuses to become. When Coda is assigned to babysit Spit, however, as a special project from the Principal herself, will the two be able to stomach each other?

Sprinkle in bits of corruption, rebellion, and romance and you’ll have yourself their story. A story for believers, for those who hold hope for the greater good.

—characters

✧ Jonah ‘Spit’ Doe | 8teen | “No, no, I can’t. Who would I be if I just let him do his job? He’d think he fixed me, and I can’t have that. I have a reputation to uphold.”

✧ Iven Doe | 8teen | “You think we’re safe in that school?”

✧ Kieran Doe | 7teen | “Yeah, he nearly lost his eyebrows for months!”

✧ Alphonse ‘Alfie’ Erics | 9teen | “You need to, for your own sake, make amends for whatever happened. Do what you can and don’t expect more from yourself.”

✧ Jasmine Hoyos | 8teen | “It just, it seems like you planned this for a while and you didn’t… tell me?”

✧ Noel Doe | 9teen | “Ready.”

✧ Edward Wagner | 26 | “Doe! You’re ten minutes late, mind explaining yourself?”

Oh, that's so cute! I love Kieran's insistence on comfort over formality, and the mutual agreement on everything. They're very sweet together, and very real; I can practically hear Kieran in the way you write his dialogue

“So whaddya wanna talk ‘bout?” Kieran sat beside her, criss-cross as well. He wiped his increasingly sweaty palms on his sweatpants as he swallowed thickly. He could tell Jasmine was worried for what he had to say, her brows furrowed and smile masking her concern. He knew that eventually, he’d need to have this conversation with her. Worries returned to him, flooded his mind. They were only kept at bay when she placed a gentle hand on his thigh.

“Somethin’ ‘bout the future and shit. Our future.” He swallowed. “And what we want for it.”

“Wh-what about it? Is it bad…?” She stretched her legs out so that they laid over Kieran’s lap. Her expression was riddled with anxieties. All she knew about their future was that she didn’t want them to die on a mission, but they were seniors. They didn’t have to worry about missions, yet.

“Jas, babe, I… I know this is gonna sound dumb. ‘Specially with the future we got laid out for us. But I want more. I want,” He paused, his hands resting atop her legs. His hands were warmer than usual, sweaty, and he was just happy she wasn’t wearing shorts. He traced one of his hands up her leg, up her thigh, before taking her hand in his. Something he rarely ever did since he’d burned her accidentally. He was hesitant, but serious. “I-I’ve always wanted a family o’ my own. I wanna be the dad my dad couldn’t, I-I wanna love you the way you deserve to be loved. I wanna give you a wedding lil girls could only dream of. I want a future with you. A family with you.”

Kieran’s heart was fluttering in his chest, racing a mile per minute. He awaited the moment he’d regret the words he’d laid out, waited for his heart to be stabbed with the pain of rejection. He watched as Jasmine placed both of her hands on his, squeezing tightly despite how Kieran could barely feel his own hands beneath layers and layers of burned scar tissue.

“Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Oh my God, please!” Kieran was allowed to breathe, shock evident on his face. He was practically pounced upon as Jasmine burrowed her head in the crook of his neck. She littered his soft skin in kisses. She sat atop the other, straddling him now. She pulled back, her hands gripping the fabric of his shirt tightly. “Two! Two kids! Maybe four? At least two boys, and I want a princess dress for my wedding. And fuck weddin’ rings, I want necklaces, yeah? I want to live in a quiet home away from all this bullshit. I want you to never ever go on a mission. And I want you. I just want you to be mine, forever.”

Kieran wrapped his arms securely around her as he pulled her close. His hands rested at her lower back. He flushed, his heartbeat all he could hear as she paused between words. Still, he was smiling widely. So much so that his cheeks ached.

“I’ll get you that princess dress. God, babe, you’ll look so beautiful, more beautiful than normal. A real princess, my princess, and I’ll get those wedding necklaces. I’ll get you everything you want, anything. I’ll work my hardest,” He spoke earnestly, determination dancing in his crimson eyes. “I’ll even wear a tux! But I’m totally not wearin’ fancy shoes, that’s jus’ ridiculous!”

Their lips met. It was a soft, sweet kiss. One where hands roamed their bodies, tugging the fabric of their shirts as they attempted to get closer and closer. Their chests were practically pressed against each other, so close that a magazine could be held up between them. When they broke the kiss they were panting, voices hushed and giggles overtaking them. Jasmine looked as though she may cry any moment, and Kieran simply cupped her cheeks. He pulled her close for one more kiss, and then another. Her giggling was infectious.

“Together forever?”

“And ever!” Kieran spoke loudly compared to Jasmine’s whisper. He pecked her lips and then her nose. “I’ll give you the whole damned world, Jas.”

“Promise me?”

“Promise you.”

—hannah’s oc fill in the blank tag game

Rules: choose an oc and have them fill in the blanks of the following statements ( created by @hannahs-creations )

for this tag i'm going to be using Spit :D !! so slight warning for cussing !!

—————

I am inspired by Coda, but don't tell 'im that 'cause he'll get an ego.

I think that I am mutant because have you fuckin' seen me?

I have often been told I am a villain, but I don't fuckin' get it. Destroy school property and suddenly the whole damn city hates you.

I love everything about myself, which probably stems from have you seen me? I'm beautiful.

When I am up late at night, I am usually thinking about Coda, usually. How he's doing and how he's feeling, and when he's with me jus' how... happy I am, I guess.

My favorite thing to do in my free time is none of your damned business.

I really dislike Iven because have you seen his face? Very punchable.

I find that school tends to distress me.

I think I am unique because my saliva is deadly.

My most common emotion tends to be anger.

I really hate when people exist.

I find schoolwork to be tedious and feel the world would be better without it.

If I could get rid of any food in its entirety, it would be any and all. Everythin' tastes bitter and gross, I'd be better off if I could photosynthesize.

I think pigeons would be my spirit animal because they're fucking annoying bastards. It's perfect.

I believe I'm better than everyone because I'm better than everyone.

I feel annoyed about this game.

I have zero, zip, zilch pets.

I [am/am not] afraid of commitment because relationships are inherently terrifying. Being vulnerable is inherently terrifying. I could also kill anyone I kissed.

If I became a villain, it would be because I'm filling the role everyone laid out for me.

If I became a hero, it would be because I finally did something praise-worthy despite my morals.

I consider myself to be a antihero.

I think I am not the main character of my own story.

I wish I was done with this questionnaire.

If I could kill one person without getting into trouble, it would be the Principal.

I find that people that exist are really stupid.

Coda Redd ( @night1rst )

Spit: Ok, maybe playing ‘whose family is most dysfunctional’ wasn’t the best idea we’ve had. Coda's been crying in the bathroom for an hour. We can’t get them out...

—————

Spit: Am I going too far? Coda: No, no, no. You went too far about seven hours ago. Now you're going to prison.

—————

Spit: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I'll wait. Coda: You and me!!! Spit, tearing up: Okay.

—————

Spit: I know you’re deflecting by making jokes about how hot you are. Coda: It’s not a joke. Coda: *sniffles* Coda: I’m a legit snack.

—————

*Spit and Coda are doing something absurdly dangerous* Spit: I think Houdini did something like this once! Why, if I recall correctly, he was out of the hospital in no time! Coda, deadpan: Well that's encouraging.

—————

Spit: Coda and I have the kind of easy chemistry where we finish each other's- Coda: Sentences. Spit: Don't interrupt me.

—————

Spit: You’ll have a hard time believing this because it never happens, but I made a mistake.

—————

Spit: You wanna see how hardcore I am? Spit: *punches wall* Spit: Spit: Take me to the hospital.
