a silence creeped up on the both of you, but it didn't last long. "you're fucking sick. absolutely sick, stack." you spat at him and his eyebrows furrowed before arching. "You don't understand. I made enough money for us to live comfortably! i- we- we have a club! me and smoke, we got all this money and-" you slapped him. hard. his cheek stung and his eyes widened, but he didn't react. he knew he deserved it.

"money, money, money-" you began, throat constricting while tears rushed to wet your eyes, "all you talk about is money! you were gone stack-" he stepped towards you and you back up, "I tried to write-" "seven years!" you shouted, and he stopped. "seven fucking years, and nothing! not a single letter, not a single update, not a single explanation!" a first tear ran down your cheek.

"i lived a life of fantasies for seven years—a hope that maybe you'd come back and explain yourself and apologize," you walked towards the kitchen counter, "but now that you're back, the only thing you have for me is money!?" you grabbed a plate and threw it at him—kind of, your tear-blurred vision making you miss him completely.

"honey, I'm sorry, but I did it to make it work! I'll give you a house, food, even a baby like you always wished for-" and you laughed. you laughed in despair, the smile on your face lasting about 4 seconds before your expression turned sour. "a baby? a fucking baby? you want to give me a kid? and then what? leave again for another seven years? make me take care of it all alone and tell that poor child fairytales about his father that couldn't even explain why he was gone?" you rambled, and he let you.

"you ignore your past and yet, everything you say is in the future tense. I'm tired of this, stack. tired of you!" and his heart broke. he immediately rushed towards you, grabbing you by your shoulders.

"fuck-" his eyes searched for yours, but you looked away. "I'll do anything, baby. please. you can't leave me. everything I did–" he grabbed your cheeks, leaning down towards you, and you could feel his breath on yours. "every crime I committed, every penny I stole–" "you stole money!? from who?" "it was all for you."

you were stunned.

"I was tired of you having to live a life like this when- when you could have so much more. you deserve more." finally, you looked up at him, his eyes sincere and so in love, but you didn't falter. you had convictions, and you respected yourself.

pushing him away, you quickly grabbed your coat as he watched you, defeated. "goodbye, elias."

and before he noticed them, he felt warm tears dripping down his cheeks.

you didn't even look back when you walked out, you simply opened the door and went.

you didn’t expect this. nobody expected this, actually.

jade leech, cunning, observant, quiet, and mysterious. he was one to keep his cards close to his chest and play it safely to ensure the best outcomes. and yet, here we are, in said eels dreams. a look inside of his thoughts, how he truly saw people, how he—

“jade you’re so cool! i love love love love loveeee the way your mind works sooooo much!” a voice, sounding similarly to yours, chimed. “fufu, you flatter me, my pearl..”

your jaw dropped, grims jaw dropped, you can hear idia falling out of his seat from behind the screen, jamil’s eyes had never been opened wider, floyd cringed, silver looked away, ortho could barely compute, and sebek had the most genuine disgust written on his face.

was that you? you thought azul and floyd looked stupid, BUT THAT WAS YOU? jamil slapped a hand over grims mouth, preventing the direbeast from cackling his lungs out at the sight of your pathetic image. “MYAHAHA, HENCHMAN YOU LOOK SO STUPI—“ “keep quiet.” jamil mutters, slightly smirking. you could tell he was also containing his laughter, making your face change in hue.

“eww, no way. i knew jade was all lovey dovey with the prefect but i dont wanna watch it. what a sap.” floyd groans, looking at dream you, real you, then at jade. “i dont wanna watch this either! if you guys are embarrassed how do you think i feel?!” you murmur, hiding your face in shame.

“my pearl, open wide.” jade grins, holding a piece of shrimp in his hands. “oh my, jade you sweetheart!” you giggle, opening your mouth so jade can feed you. idia snickers, holding back a laugh. you can practically see his smug expression in your mind. “he has the fantasies of a trashy middle school fanfiction, what comedy gold.”

silver clears his throat, trying to regain the attention of the group in order to free jade from his dream. while everyone with a logical mind held an equally logical discussion, you, floyd, and grim were too focused on the scene before you. “jade, you and shrimpy should just get married.” dream floyd grins, pushing you two together.

“agreed. you both are a match made in heaven!” dream azul says in between sobs, wiping his tears away with one of his tentacles. “why, what a splendid idea! azul, please make arrangements right away. we shall wed at once, my dear.” jade chuckles, holding you close in his arms. “j-jade!? i don’t know what to say..”

“do you not wish to marry me?” he asks, his thumb tracing your chin. his voice was low, yet soothing at the same time. “it’s not like i don’t want to..” dream you mumbles, avoiding his eyes by looking at the ground with a pout. REAL you, on the other hand, can’t bear the sight of it anymore. neither can floyd. or grim.

“let’s continue to overcome hardships and conquer many mountains together.” jade laughs, pulling you all in by the shoulders. as the dream variants of jades loved ones cheer, floyd swims in and swoops down, attacking his brother and his dumbed down dream him.

“I CANNOT STAND IT ANYMORE!” floyd grunts, scowling at his dear brother, who held an expression of shock. “f-floyd? there’s two of you..?!” he stutters, looking at his dream twin and his actual twin. “they’re mirror images of each other! how can you tell them apart!” azul exclaims, wiping his eyes to get a better look.

“who is this? can i hug you and eat you? hehe.”

“i originally thought you weren’t interested in other people, but you have a limited memory. “i dont eat dance and eat shrimps stuck in between rocks.” floyd scoffs, staring at his dumbfounded doppelgänger. “floyd.. doesn’t eat shrimps.. or dance..?” jade ponders, feeling his mind begin to waver.

“jade! im scared!” dream you screams, curling up in the boys arms. your eyebrow twitches, tired of the humiliation you witnessed thanks to jades horrible imagination. following your impulse, you run out with floyd, despite the shouts of your name.

“PREFECT! GET BACK HERE! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE?!” sebek shouts, but his voice falls on deaf ears. he made a point though, what were you doing? it’d be much safer to just stay back and watch this play out, so why the hell are you trying to get involved?! “p-pearl?!” jade gasps, eyes wide in disbelief.

“th-there’s also two of you.? what in the seven is going on here?” he swam back slowly, unraveling the scene before him. two brothers, two lovers (well not officially..), and a whole school of students that seem familiar, but unsure as to where.. you could tell jade was beginning to wake up! it’s only a matter of time..

“jade, don’t be fooled. floyd shouldn’t be that ugly bastard, he should be more innocent and cute. and look at [MC], they love you so much they don’t know what to do with themselves! don’t be tricked by that fraud.” azul sneers, pointing at you and floyd, much to your dismay. just taking a glance at floyd was enough to be able to tell he was this close to breaking every bone in dream azul’s body and frankly you don’t blame him.

“i see.. floyd has been very charming to his relatives and my pearl wouldn’t leave my side so quickly,” jade hesitates, glancing at his two brothers. “i should go. they all really need me.” he smiled politely, swimming towards what once looked like his loved ones, now forming into large piles of dark goo. as jade was nearly consumed by the darkness, floyd swims past quickly. you stood on the eels back, landing a hit on dumb dumb floyd, crybaby azul, and cringe wattpad you.

“I DO NOT SOUND LIKE THAT.” you finally yell, catching nearly everyone’s attention. “it’s no use. we have to help out.” jamil sighs, lifting his magic pen. “let’s go!” silver shouts, rushing into the spot where you and floyd had already began your attack. as the fight rages on, the others serving as a distraction for jade, floyd had continued to land hits on the watered down versions of yourselves with ease before they finally shouted for help.

“it hurts! help us, jade!” dream floyd cries. “rescue us, jade!” azul cries. “oww! protect us, jade!” dream you screams, finally catching his attention. “how dare you! you fake. get behind me, i got this.” jade hisses, attacking floyd directly. you felt your balance falter on floyd’s back, slipping before falling near the vents. “prefect!” ortho shouts, rushing over to catch you til you fell into jamil’s arms safely. “it’s not safe, the vents are crumbling due to the fighting. retreat for now!” he directs, running towards a safer location.

“your carelessness nearly got you killed, prefect.” jamil sighs, looking down at you with a concerned yet tired expression. “sorry, i just couldn’t take it anymore!” you groan, crossing your arms angrily. “you can set me down now, jamil.” you pat his arm, breaking him from his daze. “..right.” he mutters, placing you down gently. they began to discuss different ways to wake up jade, before sebek finally settled on just electrocuting them.

“be careful, sebek.” silver reminds him, patting his shoulder before the boy ran out. “pierce the cloudy sky, lightning! living bolt!”

the tweels stop their fighting, electricity trickling all over their body leaving them temporarily paralyzed and passed out. after a few moments, their eyes fluttered open, being met with millions of other stares. “jade!” azul shouts, pushing floyd at the way with a grunt. “thank goodness you’re alive! i could’ve lost my cute subordinate!” he sniffles, causing jades eyebrow to raise. “..cute subordinate?”

“i’ll cry if jade is gone! don’t go anywhere!” dream floyd sighs with a dopey expression. “jade you idiot! you could’ve gotten seriously hurt and id never forgive you!” dream you sobs, rushing over to hold his hand hastily. “hm. that’s strange. the floyd and azul i know would never say something like that.” jade scoffs, looking at the two with disgust.

“huh?” they gasp, staring at him as if he said something crazy. “was sebek’s lightning so powerful, jade is finally starting to awaken?” silver mumbles, raising a finger to his chin. “awaken.. why am i here in the first place..?” jade groans, recollecting his thoughts slowly. “so.. i am a student at night raven college.. on land? agh.”

“my head feels like it’s going to split!” he winces in pain, holding his head as he shouts. all his memories finally began to come back to him, all the moments he had during the year turning the gears in his mind til he was finally back to his senses. “how could i possibly have forgotten something so important?” he huffs, looking back at the doppelgängers behind him.

“floyd would never act so obedient, he’s much more domineering. azul would give orders to others without putting himself in danger as much as possible.” he pauses for a moment, staring at your fake before shaking his head. “[MC] would have never acted so defenseless. what an embarrassing feat. i was acting quite strange.” jade sighs, turning his back towards the trio.

they had all began to complain to jade, asking why he would believe such fake things. dream you broke into tears, curling in floyds arms with a sob. jade would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little jealous, but it’s not the real you so he’ll hold back. a little. they all clung onto jade, begging him to reconsider his decision before he finally spared them a word.

“can you please not touch me? creepy.” with a quick slash, the floyd and azul clones were reduced to goo. jade looked at the fake you, slightly hesitating at your trembling figure. alas, they were spared no expense and fell back into the darkness, crying his name and dragging out each syllable.

“no mercy..” idia stuttered, chewing on his nail. “he was protecting them with his life, only to end them once he realized they were fake.” jamil states, scratching his chin while replaying the scene back in his head. “scary..” idia murmurs. “finally awake, jade?” floyd punches his brothers arm, earning a chuckle. “yes, thank you.”

they share a laugh before hitting each other suddenly, startling each and every one of you. “floyd, you dare have hurt your own brother? i thought my whole body was going to fall apart. have you no mercy on your own blood? how terrible.” jade wiped away a tear, floyd not buying it for a single second.

“jade leech.” his banter was cut short by the sounds of your voice, your stern tone telling that this will not end well for him. “w-why, [MC]! how might i be of service.?” jade smiles, remaining his composure well. “don’t “how might i be of service” me! you have some serious explanation to do once we’re out of this stupid dream.” you scowl, staring him down with an intimidating glare.

jade, seemed unfazed. he was certainly embarrassed, but who is he to let it show? “oh dear, is it quite wrong for one to dream of their mate while asleep?” he shakes his head, catching you off guard. “mate?” everyone collectively questions. “uhm, yeah. do you guys not notice?” floyd scratches the back of his neck as if it were the most obvious thing.

what the hell is he talking about? mate? what.. when? that’s.. it’s not possible. “what are you on about, leech?” you sneer, causing him to grab your hand with a smile. “would you care for me to show you?” he grins teasingly, pulling you in til you rested on his chest. “hey! why you—“

“enough. you two are more than free to discuss this mishap after malleus is defeated. right now, we’ve got bigger problems to focus on.” jamil frowns, separating you two from each other. “..right. im not done with you yet.” you glare at the eel in front of you, much to his amusement. “i look forward to it.”

despite the topic being held for later, you couldn’t help but let jade’s words and fantasies linger in your mind for a moment longer. the statements he had said, the actions he had performed, all of it made you feel.. special.

“he dreams of me?”

A/N: i got lazy at the end whoops. anyways what if i write a jamil one?? double anyways what if jamil and jade love triangl— *gunshots*

♥︎： He loves to feel your scales, and admire the way they shimmer underneath monotone lights. He’ll lose himself to your hearty, sing-song voice. He’s an enamoured fool, but he denies it. You’re not sure if he likes you or not because he also teases you in a rather harsh way, but he’d also find a way to flirt with you the next moment. He’s a rollercoaster of emotions.

♥︎： He’ll cast magic spells on your fins to turn them into legs whenever you want, and if you ever wanted something, he’d buy it for you right away as if it didn’t have a price. He’d buy you the whole world if you wanted it.

♥︎： Lucas is so interested in you, that he’d read, and explore books about siren anatomy. He’ll massage the parts you like the most in your body, but will eat sushi or seafood in front of you. He just loves to remind you that you’re just a friend, even though you already know that.

♥︎： You loved to swim, and flip your sparkling fins. The way your tail’s opulence glow contrasted against the colourful, vibrant coral reef—sea animals were bound to be attracted to your beauty. You’d sing above the shore, let your melodic voice roar against reverberating skies. You lived below a tiny island, and every evening you’d perch your elbows on the soft, prickly sand, and sing. So, just like every usual night for you, you tilted your head toward the canopy of stars above you, and sang a new song you’ve learned from a fellow siren overseas.

As you sang, you were suddenly brought back to reality when you heard a stick crackle a few inches away from you. Blinking your gaze away from the glistening stars, you dart your eyes to this unfamiliar, tall silhouette, and long, jet black hair. Their tresses fluttered behind them, and you wondered if it was a woman because of their long hair. It was too dark to make out their full form, but you had the slightest idea that they didn’t have fins, and that they were just a mere human. “So the silly fairy tales of mermaids were really true?” A deep voice rumbled from them. You thought this person was quite strange, and didn’t like the way they hadn’t fallen for your sing-song trickery; you also didn’t like the way your eyes seemed to sparkle back at them.

You felt like you were the one being enamoured by his voice.

For a while, you two conversed, and you soon learned that his name was Lucas. He mostly blubbered about his ego, boasting to you of how amazing he was. You found it mildly irritating, but you brushed it off like it was nothing. Every night became a schedule, and you two would meet up on your little island… talking, perhaps even flirting—just in a jokingly friendly way. He said all sorts of things to you, like how he’s always been dreaming about a female head with a fish tail when he was a kid. It was silly, but you giggled at them, batting your lashes at him.
