#mocking me

Imagine Ivar noticing someone mocking you…

The hall was filled with laughter, vikings raising goblets of mead above feast filled tables. Though the laughter would soon die down once everyone heard the mocking tone in someone's voice “Y/N” the male his laugh booming through the hall. You raised your brow, about to open your mouth. You wanted to tell him off, but when you saw Ivar had heard it you shut your mouth with a knowing smirk. His stare followed the man like a predator watching wounded prey. Your hand reaching for his underneath the table, only for you to realise his entire body was tense, restraining himself from violence.

"See ya after the concert, tiny human", Abby said with a grin and patted you on the shoulder.

"She's fragile…you'll break her, Abby. Maybe then Mystery will have eyes for me again."

"Don't be such a drama queen, baby. We all know love is a mystery."

"Is that why you and Abby fought so much about Mira at the fan service event?"

"Stop talking about that Huntrix…she's like…glue…gross!"

"Are we ready? Look out for any weak souls. We could all use a snack."

The last sentence was directed at you.

After your failed transformation back from human to demon form, Jinu had tried to involve you in group activities, shadowing the Huntrix, as well as fan service, etc.

Officially, of course, you weren't part of the Saja Boys.

You work behind the scenes…helping the guys with live streams, preparing for fan events, and you enjoy fighting with Baby over the remote control in the penthouse the human manager has provided you with.

"…we don't know if Huntrix are planning to launch an attack behind the scenes, like they did during the Hot Sauce Challenge…if so, give me a sign…" - Jinu said, and you could hear the director giving instructions through the headset that the performance was about to begin.

You nodded in understanding and gave a thumbs-up.

"Huntrix is ​​starting a livestream from their stupid apartment…probably a tactic to get attention and…why does Zoey put ketchup in the Kimchi? Must be some American thing," - Baby commented with a roll of his eyes and handed you his smartphone…you're supposed to record a bit of the concert later.

Because of your human form, you fit in perfectly…perfectly among the fans.

The boys had to slowly walk onto the stage and perform their song - Soda Pop.

"Please try not to hurt yourself. I'll look after you on stage, too." - Mystery hugged you from behind, and you felt your cheeks flush. Unexpected by this hug from behind and your friend's softly whispered words.

"When did I ever get away?"

A soft laugh sounded from Mystery. You could almost feel his muscles laughing along with him.

"Last night, when you went to get Abby a pack of Hargel, you almost fell down the stairs. Jinus Tiger was protecting you… I can't protect you on stage, so… be careful," - Mystery murmured, blowing a gentle kiss on your cheek. You reached for his right hand and squeezed it gently.

"There are rumors that you and Baby are together behind the scenes. A pairing ship…what was it called…Mystaby?" - You read once, and a low growl escaped the demon in human form.

"Baby is like an annoying brother and not my…partner. That's you…just you" - Mystery says, recognizing the comment under a video as you hand him the phone.

You believe every word and give him a quick hug before Mystery runs toward the stage. His purple hair bounces with every movement.

Even though his eyes aren't visible under the human hair, you know full well that they have that protective twinkle when you're together.

Even though Mystery can be very silent and taciturn…you have your own energy, connection, and affection for each other.

Even if you still have to work on your human problem.

A few moments later, you're in the middle of the crowd.

The manager got you a regular pass. Nothing VIP-like because…you're supposed to record a few videos that will be edited and posted later.

It's loud…both male and female fans scream and cheer as the Saja Boys come on stage and sing their song first, delivering a damn good performance…everything's perfect.

The lighting.

The choreography.

The dance moves.

The sparkle in the Saja Boys' eyes.

The slight flirting with the fans…the quiet gestures that are scattered here and there.

Then there's a short question and answer session.

There's a lot of laughter. Cheers and bouquets of flowers are distributed.

"…you now have the unique opportunity to get some autographs from the Saja Boys" - announced the host, and a loud, excited squeal erupted from some fans.

You also make your way to the line. Take a few photos here and watch as the demons in human form shake hands, take selfies, accept compliments, and embrace the fans' attention as a positive experience.

In all the crowds, you can spot a few weak souls. Fortunately, your demonic skills haven't changed during the human transformation—there are a few good candidates who could serve as snacks for the Saja Boys. That was good.

"Hey, which idol are you waiting in line for?" - a high-pitched voice behind you made you pause a few moments later.

You had planned to tell one of the security guards, that you wanted to go backstage to wait for Mystery.

"Mystery. He's my favorite idol in the group," - you say, turning around.

The girl with the high-pitched voice is accompanied by two other girls. You estimate the humans to be around their teens.

"Um, no! Mystery would never talk to someone like YOU!"

"Exactly! He belongs to Soo! The two of them made eye contact and flirted! You could totally see it!"

You shake your head barely noticeably. Someone deserves a reality check.

"It's the idols' job to flirt…it's their job and counts as fan service. The boys are just doing their jobs....nothing more", - you whisper.

It was one of the first things the Saja Boys' manager taught you.

Smiling, showing off your muscles, making certain movements, etc. Fan service.

Not real flirting, not—omg, we're making eye contact and it's a sign.

"Bitch! You're just jealous! Mystery and I are soulmates!"

And with those words, Soo shoved you forward.

Surprised, you land on the floor, and pain shoots through your human body.

There was a small commotion around you, and someone told the teenagers that violence of any kind would result in expulsion.

Someone helped you back to your feet. You hadn't noticed tears welling up in your eyes.

Then you felt his hands around your wrists. Your tear-filled eyes met the wild hair of your idol, your soulmate. For a millisecond, you could see the demonic eyes flashing, the anger and the protective instinct.

"It's… okay… I was just about to leave… y… you're great, Mystery," - you sniffed, and Mystery lets go of your wrists, but with a quick hand gesture, signals to one of the security guards to escort you.

While the teenagers complained loudly , that you didn't deserve Mystery, you heard an equally aggressive demonic growl from Abby, Baby, Romance, and Jinu.

And yet, you can't stop the first tears from rolling down your cheeks as the security guard takes you backstage.

You feel so helpless…weak…human.

What if something happens to Mystery? Or to the other guys, and you can't protect them? What if you're useless?

Exhaustion and human needs make you fall asleep in a chair. You wake up to a soft whimper…changed lighting, and a spiteful laugh, which you identify as Baby's.

The soft blanket beneath you tells you that you're back in the apartment. But the lights are dim. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust.

"…Please…let me go…w…who are you?"

So. Her voice didn't sound as confident as it did at the concert.

"My night owl has woken up. This is just for you, my little star!"

Mystery pulled you onto his lap and, in his demon form, pampered you with kisses on your neck, mouth, cheek…you could feel your demonic souls establishing contact, harmonizing with each other, and you recognize from his gaze that he wants to protect you…at all costs.

You snuggle closer to Mystery, with the blanket and all.

You give Soo a cold look.

She's scared and panicked. That's what she gets for pushing you.

"The others went with Romance and Abby. They're not weak souls, but no one bullies our little human… except us", - Baby's voice rang out as he grabbed Soo by the arm and shoved her to the ground before sending her soul from the human world to the underworld like a snack.

"No one breaks my girl's purple heart… and gets away with it"

Mystery whispered before treating you to cuddles and kisses again.

You take refuge in this dark attention and are glad that Mystery has a very strong protective instinct.

For you.

And your purple heart.

And once that is published, because I'm apparently a fucking MASOCHIST I'm gonna be working a THIRD rottmnt/2012 crossover idea

I mentioned it before: The au were 2012 Leo ends up alone in the rise verse, gets kidnapped by Big Mama and loses his memories. She forces him to fight in the battle nexus until he is recused by Rise Splinter and Rise Leo in many unhappy returns because they assume that he's another turtle sibling that Splinter didn't save from Draxum's lab.

Well I finally thought of a name for this story

"Lost But Never Found"

(yes I did rip that title straight from the chorus of Neoni and Layto's song Ghost Town. Its a bomb ass song sue me)
