I'm gonna give in to my urges and finally do it (probably gonna immediately regret posting but that's ok)
(It can be platonic/romantic whichever you want)

○ you were a gaul living an average life in the village. You had friends, had a good job.
○ everything was great! Till you were taken by the Romans.
○ you were out of the village planning on going on a nice walk heading out for an adventure unknown to what you will run into
○ that's when you ran into Roman soldiers. You had no magic potion on you and you were surrounded so you were screwed
○ bounded by the wrist you were taken to the camp
○ you were VERY stubborn. You'd dragged your feet, spat on the one's who gotten close and had made a run for it several times to the point they bounded you're legs together and dragged you to the camp
○ once you entered the camp the centurion had you sent to the slave camp due to your refusal to speak and didn't have the magic potion on you, you had no use other than extra hands for work
○ so now you spent the rest of your time in a slave camp till your friends come and get you out (who probably didn't know you were taken)
○ being in the slave camp was TORTURE for you. When you weren't forced to do work you stayed in the slave camp with a gate around till they needed you
○ during those times you would lay out in the sun watching the vultures circle around something in the sky bored out of your mind
○ till someones shadow loomed over you and you looked to see it belonged to the soldier named Cubitus. You knew that was his name because you watched the centurion argue with him several times.
○ you raised a brow at him all he did was stare at you curious he was surprised a gaul was captured and kept as a slave most times the gauls would have the upper hand.
○ after that it has been a daily routine with him every day he would stare from afar with a curious look. You'd tolerated it ignoring him till he stopped. Then he started sitting near you then talking to you.
○ it was late you stayed in your laying position since morning wishing to be home when you felt the presence of someone sitting near. You turn your head and saw Cubitus sitting down criss cross. The only thing keeping him from actually sitting next to you being the gate.
○ there was a long awkward silence before he spoke "my names cubitus..what's yours?" "..." when you didn't speak he still continued "not much of a talker? That's okay I'll wait". Then the awkward silence continued
○ you gave a short huffed as he sat there. you sat up you wrote your name on the dirt so he'd leave you alone.
○ When he read your name he gave a hum in acknowledge "that's a nice name!" He said with a smile. You gave a stiff nod and laid back down and went back to ignoring him.
○ you thought that was the end of it but oh how you were wrong. Every single night if he wasn't busy with his friends he would sit down by the gate and would talk for what felt like hours about anything. How his day was, his thoughts about things ect.
○ it was an annoyance to you hearing him ramble on about whatever came to his mind. You had the free will to get up and move but you didn't. It was either lack of motivation to move or to have something to keep you distracted.
○ overtime you slowly began to enjoy his presence and would actually sit up when he spoke. sometimes (though rarely) you'd talk as well.
○ you two actually became really close with one another to the point where he'd ask the centurion to let you out so you two can spend more time with each other. Which was always met with a no.
○ then finally Asterix and Obelix had arrived with thing of magic potion for the slaves.
○ When they went to the camp asterix was the first to spot you and he was shocked that you were here. You had to explain what had happened and how you ended up in this mess
○ you three then left the campsite but you kinda felt bad doing as you were leaving your friend behind
○ but you still visit him from time to time finding a way to sneak in to visit and he would sometimes sneak away to visit you
○ risky meet ups but overall worth it
All right that's all. I'm sorry if it sucks I'm trying though! Constructive criticism is very much welcomed so if you have some I'd be happy to hear :) and if you have requests I'd be happy to take
