just finished chapter V like today but yknow, i love it. uhh never done this before. have my thoughts. and wow itâs romance related with nullgrim what a surprise
so since nullgrim and mc had the weird residual power thing (where even after the little part where mc is nullgrim they can conjure that sword) what if it was more like a connection, like a soul link between the two?
so nullgrim can tell when mc isnât feeling well, upset or anything, and thereâs like a weird feedback loop where he gets sick or feels upset too and vice versa.
and what if his corruption got to mc? (now i donât quite remember why heâs corrupting if itâs stated at all idk) but it gets to mc and heâs worried sick, guilty as hell too, and mc has to start wearing the chains that he does, but itâs more of a slow creep, since mc wasnât the direct source of the powers, merely having gotten them from him through said link.
something something nullgrim and mc cuddling and mc feels more energetic, like nullgrimâs a charger or something.
mc and nullgrim finally going on that date to the lake they talked about, before moving far far away. sitting on the edge looking up at the sky, choosing to go at night (since itâs right by the road, less people and cars going by to distract them) lying on the grass side by side, holding hands, looking up at the stars, pointing up to constellations and naming them. i feel like nullgrim would have a lot of old books with maps of the sky and he would tell mc little facts, the oldest dating record of those stars they have, who recorded what, how each constellation got their name and myths tied to them, what stars make up each constellation and whatnot.
maybe, when they move far away, they get a small little house far away from the hustle of the city, theyâve had enough of that, they could both use some peace, and theyâre far enough away that the sky shows itself for them. theyâre both fat enough away from any major settlements that they can see the sky fully. beautiful swirling colors of galaxies , views of tiny little stars like pinpricks hung above their house. nullgrim would surprise mc, deciding to set up a little date night⌠a comfy blanket on the soft dewy grass, just him and mc. heâd hold them close, under the stars, feeling safer than ever. away from the hostile world of the city, of the now empty lot of their old apartment, of the cult, the jailhouse mina resides in, all the fear and trauma, left behind. and he finally feels safe, safe, holding close the one he loves the most, under a beautiful sky.
mina breaking out of jail? did those policemen really think some bars could hold him? he was weakened for a long time, yes, but this cult hasnât been running for as long as it has because it was lead by someone not inherently powerful now was it?
nullgrim and mc sharing an apartment. yes, theyâve had their ideas about moving far away but that takes time and money, and they need a place to stay, so theyâve got a temporary apartment. they donât find out right away, theyâre both not really ânews peopleâ but nullgrimâs got a bad feeling. mc does too, but theyâve stopped listening to their âbad feelingsâ a long time ago, especially when they were having nightmares every night for six months.
he doesnât want to worry mc, theyâve already gone through enough, and heâs feeling rather confident in himself, so he doesnât tell mc about his feeling, and when he does find out minaâs escaped, he doesnât mention it. heck, if mina came after them, he would lay his own life on the line for mc, he would fight tooth and nail to make sure they unscathed.
and mina does come after them, arriving in the night. nullgrimâs always been an early sleeper early riser, preferring to have as much of the day available to him, rather than staying up all night. mc however? their sleep schedule is all over the place, it was ruined by the nightmares, in that time span when the nightmares were particularly bad theyâd go as long as they could without sleeping, effectively killing and chance they had of falling asleep at a normal time, usually staying up till at least 3 am, and crashing by 6.
so nullgrimâs turned in for the night, begrudgingly going off to their shared bedroom, mc sitting on the couch watching the tv. a crash. it could just be the city around them. weird noises happened all the time, nothing new. but the footsteps are whatâs abnormal. theyâre close. too close. not just someone walking down the hall, not someone in the apartment above. their floor. the kitchen perhaps.
okay iâm realizing iâm getting carried away, iâm gonna stop there uhhâŚ. this devolved into not really headcanons but it would be a waste to delete it so uh yeah. not sure if iâll return but i will be an anon. could you call me K?
I knooow nullgrim would be so guilty to see us getting corrupted too bro âźď¸âźď¸ make him SADDER
