(I feel bad for putting Kiran in the torture chamber)

Be free my children 🥹

“… Is this allowed? What?”

They’re wearing normal clothes. In a normal home. With a so called normal life.

This was wrong their skin was itchy.

"H- hey, Rocío, can I just... hang out here... for a bit?..."

She looks like she's been sobbing, her hair is messy and all the warmth is gone from her eyes. She looks exhausted and like years of weight is pressing down onto her shoulders and causing his slouch.

(ooc: I put her through the wringer :) )

(OOC: you’re going in the torture labyrinth tomorrow how dare you)

They glance up, ready to tease, but the words immediately rot on their tongue. Their eyes widen as they take in his appearance, subconsciously opening their arms and allowing him to slot himself onto their chest.

“Hey, hey, what happened?” They ask, voice low and soft. It was a tone they hadn’t used in years.

“You’re alright, you’re alright. Whatever happened can’t hurt you anymore. You’re going to be alright.”

How can you tell her that? You’re lying.

I’m not. I’m not, she’s okay, she’s okay with me.

Selfish, much?

"Some bastard just came into my inbox and tried beating me up. Didn't go great for him... nabalu..."

She sighs loudly and runs a hand over her hair.

@vengeful-vigilante

They glance up at him, breaking away from whatever they were doing. They tense in shock and rush forward, cupping the side of his face and turning it to look at the purpling bruise.

“Fuck, you okay? How bad does it hurt?” They ask, tilting her jaw up and bending down to get a better angle.

“Do I wanna see the other guy?” They joke, trying to lighten the mood.

“I’ll go get you ice,” they say, getting up and running to the bar.

Even thought they didn’t show it, they felt their blood boil underneath their skin. That motherfucker had another thing coming to them, they’d better hope and pray Jester was in a better mood after they patched Kiran up. They wished they weren’t so weak.

Kiran walks in, head hung low and eyes downcast.

"Do you... remember a few nights back when I came over here and kinda... had a meltdown?"

@vengeful-vigilante

They glance up, smirking.

“Of course I do. You were sobbing like a baby, it would’ve been adorable if it wasn’t so sad.” They snicker behind a hand.

They brush off the fact that they helped her through it and calmed her down. That literally never happened what.

Kiran tentatively walks over, cheeks already a bit red.

"Is there any chance I could, maybe, potentially... braid your hair? It just- it looks like it would be nice in a braid? It's fine if not though, I- I don't mind-"

@vengeful-vigilante

The Fool regards his nervousness with a grin, walking over and butting his shoulder with their own.

They settle down in front of her, slowly sliding down their jester hat off their head for the first time since they’ve got it. Their curls fall loosely upon their neck, neatly trimmed and layered.

I apologize😔

-💜

“Oh, good. I really don’t need another Anon up my ass right now.”

The Fool sighs dramatically and places a hand to their chest.

"Pfft, you have pigeon wings now? They're kinda cute."

His cheeks go a little pink at his own compliment, but she doesn't take it back.

@vengeful-vigilante

The Fool flushes, face heating up to their ears.

“Shut up! I don’t want to hear that, I want you dead!”

They cover their wings as best they can, turning away so she couldn’t see them. They avoid his gaze, glaring at the floor.

Kiran walks over.

"How the fuck are you able to annoy Spiral back?? I swear to god, every interaction I have with that anon has me annoyed and I never know how to piss them off back. How do you do it??"

@vengeful-vigilante

“Awh, my poor knight…” they coo mockingly, enveloping Kiran into their arms and patting her on the head lovingly.

“You can’t let them get to you, amorcito, give them a reason to bite back, and they’ll come back with a swarm of pests.”

They kiss him on the forehead, leaving a big lipstick mark.
