But if you don't want to, that's fine!

Decided to make this one Fold-centric. Purely because I haven't yet written about him. He's honestly kind of pathetic, but that's how I like my bad-boys.

Dating Fold

★ He's actually really sweet once you get to know him. Crushingly awkward, too. He constantly fumbles your attempts at romance. Even when things seem simple, he still manages to mess it up somehow.

★ Leaning on a wooden countertop, Fold thought he looked casual. And he was! ...For about five seconds. Then his elbow slipped.

★ Fortunately, you found moments like that charming. Sometimes he just wants to sink into the floor. 'Adorable!' You think to yourself. Knowing full-well Fold might spontaneously combust if he knew you felt that way.

★ At that point you had only known Fold for a couple of weeks. You knew there was something here. Even though he was still in denial. You fell for him first. Fold, of course, had fallen even harder.

★ He really didn't want to get his hopes up. Weren't you out of his league? There was no way you'd settle for him. After accepting this fact, you could imagine his shock when you asked if he'd like to have dinner sometime.

★ Being made of literal paper, you try to be delicate with him. Keyword here being tried. Because the world seemed determined to keep shredding him up. You always pull him to his feet after. Handing over a bottle of glue without thinking about it.

★ If things take a turn for the worse, he'll tackle you to the ground in a frantic attempt to find cover. It's a messy business working for Syntax. Best to keep your head down...

★ Fold panics whenever you get injured. Something small, like a skinned knee, that's all it takes to make him snap. You? Hurt??? Oh shit. Blood might stain this hands, but that was hardly a concern. His only thought is you.

★ With a small laugh from his beloved, the worried look in fold's eyes shifted. "Why are you laughing?" He asks. Grabbing onto your shoulders. You could tell he was trying very hard to focus at the task at hand. "It's so cute when you pretend to be mad!" You said, failing to keep a smirk at bay.

★ One slow afternoon, you decided to try your hand at origami. It wasn't very good, but you managed to make a little heart. It's somewhere in Fold's inventory now. Keeping it on his person, despite taking up valuable space.

Fold's hybridization is a Rain/Leaf/Ice (RainWing dominant, LeafWing partially dominant, IceWing recessive).

Because both the dominant tribes are cold-blooded, so is Fold. He constantly needs warmth and regularly sunbathes whenever he can. He even has a lil sunlamp in his room.

He also does participate in the RainWing tradition of Suntime, and therefore NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO BOTHER HIM FROM 12-1 under the excuse of keeping his scales in the best condition.

He has mostly RainWing abilities (color-changing scales, acid-spitting fangs), a few LeafWing ablilities (average leafspeak), and Frostbreath from the bit of IceWing

Frostbreath is created by a small gland near the lungs that contains liquid nitrogen that freezes upon contact with air, which means his body temperature is naturally very cold.

If Macaw didn't exist (and therefore my yume couldn't happen) him and Missi would've ABSOLUTELY gotten together. They are extremely close still, think Jessie and James (I might make a seperate au that's this but Inforagami bc I like it a lot)

The edges of his paper body, the webbing between his spikes, his frills, and his triangle spots change color with his emotions. He tries to hide it but occasionally it'll fail and you'll just see him get all yellow with excitement or pale green when jumpscared.

He HATES forests. Gives him too many migranes. He also hates houseplants. Missi has a bunch in her room and when he enters he just has a five minute long staring contest with this one monstera and then moves on like nothing happened

The Reader is a bit older in this one, think early teens. So let's just assume you've grown up. Entering that phase where you want to fight everybody.

Villain-in-training

★ Miss Information had kept you under wing for some time now. Training, teaching, and mentoring you to the best of her ability. Thanks to her, you're a much better shot than Fold, can sneak around without being caught, and on top of it all -you're lethal. Ready to get out there and make her proud!

★ Dressed in the edgiest gear you could find, you've paired combat boots with cargo pants. Face half-covered by a gasmask or scarf. Scrappy looking, but functional. Protective gear is a must. Who knows what could happen out in the field.

★ Cute, until you realize the Farcade is basically using child workers. Letting anyone who can hold a weapon go out and cause trouble. You know what happens when kids are allowed to run wild? Accidents happen.

★ Until now, Fold had only been an example of what not to do. It's kind of weird how he thinks he can give you orders. Last you checked, Miss Information was your teacher. Not Fold.

★ You don't listen when he speaks. You ignore him, or just act mean. "Are you hungry? We can stop for lunch," Fold asked while waiving a hand in front of your face. "Have you eaten?" You looked up with a frown, rolling your eyes. "Yes, dad."

★ He means well, even if you don't like him for it. Part of him is terrified you'll end up getting hurt on his watch. Or, heaven forbid, captured by the Farcade. If that happens, It'll be his ass on the line! Like it or not you're his responsibility now.

★ Any injuries sustained on the job are either ignored completely or treated as if it's life-or-death. No in between. Regardless if you could walk it off and be fine.

★ Now on paper this all sounds like a pretty comfortable situation. You've got room and board, two parental figures, an education, and most importantly structure.

★ But it isn't perfect. Actually, you consider it a nightmare. Like the way most children despise public school systems. The alternative is living completely alone, so for the time being you put up with it.

★ The thing is, you want to fight. It's not just because you need to. Fighting gives you back some control. And it doesn't help that you've got something to prove. Though it's one hell of a motivator.

★ You've got both of their phone numbers. Fold's messages always stay on read. Miss Information's? You respond to her almost immediately. Choosing to ignore it only when you're in actual danger. Luckily, that isn't often.
