The boutique settled back into its usual rhythm as May rolled in, warmer and heavier under the Riviera sun. Amara was back from her cousin’s tour, full of stories and extra espresso shots, diving right back into work as if she hadn’t skipped a beat. Still, they decided to keep Carla around, her calming presence had made a difference during the chaos. The shop felt busier now, humming with energy, tourists trickling in thanks to the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix.

The city was bracing itself. Streets were lined with metal barricades, grandstands rising like steel skeletons overnight. Flags fluttered from every balcony, and race banners clung to café windows and hotel doors. It was the kind of weekend that turned Monaco into a spectacle, glittering, loud, and impossible to ignore.

And for (Y/n), it was the worst possible time to try to stay invisible.

She had avoided any motorsports headlines for weeks. Even when Luca offered her free passes to the Friday practice runs, she declined with a practiced smile and a made-up errand.

It wasn’t that she hated Lando Norris.

It was worse.

She didn’t know what she felt at all.

And beyond the confusion, the fear still lingered, constant, quiet, impossible to ignore.

Two pink lines stared up at her from the bathroom sink. Again.

She had taken another test that morning, hoping foolishly that maybe, just maybe, this one would say something different. But it didn’t. It never did.

The clean, unwavering double line met her with the same quiet certainty as the others. She tucked it away in the drawer beside the unopened prenatal vitamins, trying not to think about the weight of it all.

Her phone buzzed.

Amara: Can u swing by the pit lane hospitality pop-up after shift? Carla got us passes!!

(Y/n) stared at the message for a moment.

Y/n: I’ll try. No promises.

She tossed the phone onto her bed and leaned back, staring at the ceiling.

Amara knew. She had been there since the beginning. Still (Y/n) hadn’t told Amara about the second test. Or the third. But she didn’t need to, Amara had guessed long before the confirmation. When (Y/n) finally told her, Amara didn’t even flinch. She just hugged her tightly and said, “Whatever you decide, I’m with you.”

Maybe Amara thought this invite would help. Something loud and flashy to pull her out of her head. Maybe she was right. Or maybe it would just make everything feel worse.

The pop-up was loud, booming bass, flashy LED logos, too much cologne in the air. People mingled in high heels and team shirts, clutching plastic champagne flutes and branded merchandise bags.

(Y/n) stood near the back, arms crossed, trying to breathe as engines growled in the distance. She spotted Amara first, chatting animatedly with Carla, both holding drinks and pointing up toward a makeshift balcony where drivers occasionally emerged to wave or pose for selfies.

(Y/n) approached slowly. Amara glanced over and immediately lit up.

“You came!” “Just for a bit,” (Y/n) replied, forcing a smile.

Carla handed her a drink. “Some sponsor’s rosé. Kind of gross, but free.”

(Y/n) took it, grateful for something to hold.

The music faded momentarily as murmurs spread through the crowd. Heads turned, phones lifted. A group of drivers had just arrived, security weaving them through a narrow walkway lined with velvet ropes.

(Y/n) froze.

He was there.

Lando Norris.

Same curls. Same walk. Hoodie under a team jacket. He looked more like a university student than a global celebrity, but the crowd still rippled as he passed.

He didn’t see her at first. But she saw him, too well.

Amara caught the tension in her eyes and the way her hand hovered near her stomach. “You okay?” she asked gently, already knowing the truth.

“I need air,” (Y/n) whispered.

She made for the edge of the tent, toward a quieter area behind the sponsor booths, heart hammering. She didn't realize someone had followed until footsteps echoed behind her.

“Hey.”

She turned around.

Lando stood there, slightly out of breath. He looked at her, really looked, and then frowned, as if recognition slowly surfaced.

“You…” His voice was unsure. “From that night. At the alley.”

(Y/n) tensed. Her grip on the glass tightened slightly.

“So you do remember,” she said, her tone calm but clipped.

He nodded slowly. “Not everything. Just… flashes. You were, scared. I helped you. Then… we talked, and…” His voice trailed off. “Then I woke up in your bed. I didn’t know what to say. I panicked.”

“You panicked and pulled out your wallet,” (Y/n) said flatly.

Lando winced. “I was drunk and stupid. I didn’t mean to treat you like that. I just thought you’d hate me more if I stayed.”

“You were right,” she said. “You should’ve stayed anyway.”

They stood there in silence for a long moment, neither of them able to look away.

“I never got your name,” he said quietly.

(Y/n) hesitated. “I didn’t plan on giving it.”

He nodded, the corner of his mouth twitching like he understood that was fair.

“I know I messed up,” he said. “But you’ve been in my head since that night. And not just because of what happened.” He hesitated. “You looked… afraid. I know that look. I’ve worn it myself. And I hate that we met like that. I wish I could go back and do it all differently.”

(Y/n)’s eyes softened for a moment, before she pulled herself back into place.

“You can’t undo it. Neither can I.”

Lando nodded again. “But I’d like to try… to make things right. Even if it’s just starting over. As strangers. Or acquaintances. Or however you want.”

Before (Y/n) could reply, a new voice interrupted from behind.

“There you are (Y/n)!”

Luca.

He stepped forward, casual in a fitted black tee, hair swept back effortlessly. His hand lightly brushed (Y/n)’s arm, more protective than possessive.

“You okay?” he asked, eyes darting between her and Lando.

(Y/n) blinked. “Yeah. Just… catching my breath.”

Luca nodded slowly, then looked directly at Lando, cool and unreadable. “Lando, right?”

Lando gave a brief nod, his gaze shifting. “Yeah. And you are?”

“Luca,” he said. “We’ve never met, but I know who you are.”

Lando’s posture stiffened slightly, sensing the subtle edge in his tone.

(Y/n) cleared her throat. “It’s fine. We were just talking.”

“Right,” Luca said, then looked back at her. “They’re doing a live Q&A inside soon. Carla said we should grab good spots.”

(Y/n) hesitated.

Lando glanced down at the drink in his hand, the one she’d handed him, and quietly passed it back to her.

“I’ll see you around,” he said, stepping back. “(Y/n).”

She flinched.

He knew now.

She gave a small nod, lips pressed together, watching him disappear into the crowd.

Luca raised an eyebrow as they walked away. “So. That was intense.”

“Understatement,” she muttered.

That night, in the quiet of her room, she sat by the window again, her fingers grazing her stomach.

She still didn’t know what to do. She still hadn’t told him. But something had shifted. Just slightly.

He knew her name now.

While sparring she heard a fellow soldier cry out in pain with her natural concern kicking in y/n sprinted to the injured soldier . His opponent stiffened up right when they were about to salute in respect y/n used her hand to tell him to stop “ at ease soldier go head and find another sparring partner i’ll take care of this “ taking the hint that soldier ran away hastily . The male injured soldier anxiously used their arm to salute “ Y/N .. C-Corporal’s Second in command !!” ‘ *sighing while pinching her nose * do those two not listen ?’ “ Oi” speaking flatly the male soldier nervously stuttered “Y-Yes!” “Can you stand ? I know you got injured “ “ I-I’ll try” right about the male soldier was about to put pressure on their left leg they stifled a painful groan . ‘ as i thought he can hardly stand it must be a sprain .. did they move the wrong way ?’ “ Tch .. guess it can’t be helped” shrugging .“ puzzled by the “ice queens” intentions y/n bent down and picked up the weak and seemingly timid soldier bridal style with ease .. “w-what’re you?!’ “ calm down , you’re injured and can hardly walk so i’m taking you to the infirmary “ the (h/l) woman stated matter of factly while instructing him “now don’t struggle , or you’ll make it worse “ ma’am!” Though y/n showed a stoic facial expression she was in fact worried , if she’s able to the petite woman tries to help however she can . While walking away carrying the injured male who was taller than her given she’s shorter than corporal levi … the other soldiers were so shocked their mouths were open and then the murmuring started .. “s-she helped him ?! “ “ i’ve always thought she was like the corporal who has no emotion!!” “Huh, so she can act like a human .. “ “i thought she was this talented killing machine that the commander commends their fighting prowess” . while section commander hange was walking around taking a break to give their mind a rest before heading back to the lab … they overheard something the fellow scouts were discussing “hey did you hear? …y/n … injured .. can’t even walk “ only able to hear parts of the broken conversation they ran straight to levi’s office . When arriving the titan lover didn’t bother to knock they quickly opened the door where others outside could hear a slam .. “damnit four eyes i’ve told before knock if you want “ reprimanding his friend clearly showing the corporal was in a foul mood . “No time for that shorty ! .. i have something important to tell you .. “ “ tch can it wait ? whatever you found out about your shitty titans .. isn’t that im-“ interrupting them while paying attention to his paperwork “Levi it’s not about that ! (‘Although it would be interesting if that were the case ‘) .. it’s about y/n “ now catching the corporal’s attention he looked up and raised a brow “ what about her ?” “ News is spreading around that she got injured “ levi dropped the pen he was holding . “ are you absolutely sure ? Because i swear shitty glasses if you’re-“ “ do i look like i’d joke about that ?! I never kid about my friend getting injured ! “ seeing they’re actually serious the short male ran outside of his office feeling uneasy his thoughts were swimming around “ y/n you dumbass ! Why would you act so careless ! “feeling irritation but mostly fear. Fearing she severely injured herself , as soon as he arrived he noticed y/n sitting next to a soldier levi saw a male soldier who looked like he was brushing his finger against his woman !. Theres no question that levi immensely trusts y/n , however it’s that tall cadet he doesn’t trust . The injured male briefly touched y/n’s cheek because she had something on her face .. the girl was mildly surprised but nodded in understanding when explaining why he touched her face ‘ you know for a short but scary woman who is the corporals second in command , she’s actually very pretty when she smiles and can be a kindhearted person’. ( brief flashback) having some knowledge about how to treat mild injuries y/n prepped a plastic bag with ice inside covered by a ragged cloth .

“Y-You don’t have t-to do that !!”the poor cadet waved his hands and sweating anxiously “*internally sighing* Tch, calm down of course i do you sprained your ankle and the nurses are busy busy with patients with more severe injuries” her words were rough but the girls actions showed she was worried making the male even more confused . “ But why ? Others call you the “ice queen” they say you’re an inhuman killing machine don’t you care what people say behind your back ?” While silently taking in her comrades words began to speak “ hah? why would i care about that bullshit ?” Her tone made it sound like that was stupid which made the young male sweat drop showing she understood what he’s asking and sat down “ to tell you the truth, no i don’t care what others think of me i don’t have time for that kind of shit , they don’t know me but if i can help it i will do what i can to help others “ showing her fellow comrade a genuine smile , the male was astounded that the corporal’s second in command was not at all a cold unfeeling human ‘she probably has to steel herself because death is all around us ‘ coming back to reality he noticed y/n had something on her cheek so he leaned a bit forward grabbing the thing and the (h/l) woman showed pure confusion ‘Eh?’ ‘ S-Sorry ! Y-You just have something on your cheek ‘ leaving him stammering nervous she was going to react negatively .. her eyes slightly widened showing pure confusion and lightly chuckled “why would i do that ? if you’re telling the truth i have no reason to beat your ass about it you don’t seem like the type to have an ulterior motive “ huh? I don’t ? “ tilting his head not understanding what she means “ *giggling now * you dumbass of course you don’t ! Don’t ask stupid questions besides i can tell when a person has malicious intentions so hurry up and take that thing off my face “ showing her comrade a bright smile the injured soldier showed he was in fact blushing taken aback by her kind nature … ‘ the corporals subordinate may be rough around the edges but in actuality she’s really cute when she smiles if our comrades knew the real you ‘humanities 2nd strongest’ you’d actually be popular in a good way … wait what she mean she can tell when a person bears malice?’ Lost in his thoughts while getting the lint off her face y/n gave the soldier one last gentle smile but with crude words that had no bite “thanks dumbass “ . “huh ? y-yeah a-anytime ..” but then the tall male stiffened up a bit nervously gulping ‘ I-I sense danger ! ‘ (flashback ends) feeling a murderous aura the raven haired male pulled the infirmary curtain roughly glaring daggers at the soldier his expression obviously says ‘ i don’t like you ‘ . Intimidated by the corporal the tall male was sweating nervously levi showed disdain at the poor guy and muttered a “tch”. now the short male turned his attention to his lover “Levi ! What’re you doing here? I thought you were busy “ ‘huh levi?! so she doesn’t address the corporal by his title?! ‘ flabbergasted by what the soldier is seeing . Y/N showed her lover happy but affectionate eyes which is clearly the male’s weakness brushing the feeling aside for now he gave her a short answer “ I was but not right now..” he then bent down and picked up the petite woman holding her bridal style making the woman madly blush for him being so bold . “ L-Levi ?! What’re you - hey i can walk you know ! “ ignoring her protests everyone in the infirmary sweat dropped. ‘They’re so weird’ shaking his head both in confusion and also amused at what he just witnessed. Reaching their bedroom y/n was gently put on the edge of the bed like she’s delicate … “levi ? what’s gotten into you ? -.. “ squeaking from the man taking off her boots the male gently touched her feet to her calves worried he might hurt her if not careful. “Are you hurt ? Hange told me you got injured “ . completely confused where he got that idea a lightbulb lit up in her head.

Before levi started explaining his plan y/n felt nervous for eren . “I came up with a way that that'd only kill him partially” sayuki had her arms crossed levi stepped forward continuing where he left off. I said that I could only stop him like Titans if I killed him” walking towards the chalkboard in what seems to be a classroom the captain began to draw a figure .

“But this method will only hurt him badly. Of course, it depends on the skill of the squad.. The idea is to cut him directly from the neck of the Titan. We'd end up cutting off the ends of his arms and legs, but they'd just grow back lizard style .. creepy little bastard “ worried for his well being y/n voiced her concern “ captain levi wait, we don’t know how exactly they’d grow back isn’t there another way?”. “y/n i get how you feel about this but are you saying you don’t want there to be any danger or sacrifice ?” with her lieutenant waiting for y/n’s response the girl answered slowly “N-No but” with a stern look sayuki continued “ then just let him resolve it , and we’ll do the same .. The danger for us is that you might kill us, so don't worry”. “y-yes lieutenant “ both reluctantly agreed . “S-So then i can do experiments “ ‘they’re practically drooling at this point ‘ while sayuki loved her friend’s curious head of theirs it’s what made them tick she couldn’t help but show an awkward smile towards them ‘hange, you’re such an enigma’ . the section commander caught on and showed the petite woman a cheeky smile . “It’s risky but that doesn’t mean we can’t use him for experiments “. the captain stated matter of factly . “oh don’t worry i have a plan .. eren if there’s something that doesn’t make sense to you then you’ll learn how to understand it.. it’s well worth any risk of our lives”. In the afternoon, (Y/n), Hanji, Louis and Levi were around a well in the green plains, looking down at Eren, who was at the bottom. “ Ready, Eren? When it's prepared, I'll use the smoke round to notify you “ explaining what’ll happen understanding what he was told eren nodded raining his hand while shouting in the well “ready when you are commander!!”. hange then goes to grab their flare gun and fire the green smoke in the air, indicating for Eren to begin. ‘That's the signal..’He mumbles, gazing down at his hand ‘Since I sealed the wall, I haven't tried to control the Titan..If I lose control, the levi squad might kill me this time’. He brings his hand to his mouth and bites on it. all of them were in a good distance, waiting for Eren's transformation to occur. “Lieutenant did eren not see the signal?”sayuki shook her head disagreeing with the teenage girl . “No, it’s something else.. it could be that his ability just isn’t that reliable “. sighing in defeat , levi, sayuki and hange trotted their horses to the well while y/n ran looking for her lover shouting the news “ Eren! we’re calling it quits for now “. while hange was confused on what’s going on y/n’s eyes dilated looking at her beloved’s hand seeing bites while blood dripped from his mouth . eren looked up at the section commander with utter confusion “hange i can’t turn into a titan”. After retrieving Eren from the well, the group decided to rest by sitting down on outdoor tables, drinking tea. y/n bandaged eren’s hands, but he got flustered when she felt Eren's gaze on her. She looked up to see Eren's eyes on her, a small blush appearing on her cheeks as she quickly looked away,causing a smile to appear on his lips. “so your titan wounds haven’t healed yet?” nodding up and down both of the young lovebirds heard sayuki mutter “what a pain “. “If you can't transform into a Titan, our main goal of sealing Wall Maria is off the table. This is an order jaeger make it happen” with eren nodding nervously both sayuki and him turn around walking to another part of the room with a cup of tea in their hands. with eld trying to comfort the boy eren couldn’t help but feel defeated y/n then held his hand showing her a small smile. “ Well, it just means you're more human than I thought “ Oluo blurts out, making eren turn to his new comrade. Interjecting eld added his opinion “It’s better than rushing into something and getting killed.. this isn't meaningless”. gunther nods, furrowing his eyebrows together “ yeah we can’t be too careful”.

“I don’t understand why are all of you so calm? Is everyone ok with eren’s inability to transform?” sighing at their lack of answering her y/n sees eren trying to pick up his spoon but it drops onto the grass due to the pain on his hand that he inflicted earlier. “are you ok ? “ touching his hand eren nodded to his lover silently telling her he’s fine she showed the brunette a small smile . looking down at the ground she noticed the spoon lying there. y/n leans down and picks up the spoon, before turning to Eren with a smile “ here you go”.. Eren gave his usual smiles that makes y/n’s heart skip a beat . right before he could grab it she drops the utensil seeing a small electric shock [Eren]: Thank you...As soon as he touches, a small electric shock surrounds them both as their eyes open. Then an electric field was formed around them both, causing everyone who was sitting by him zooming away. with smoke billowing into the sky, it drew the attention of the soldiers around the area. turning around both sayuki and levi’s eyes widened with pure shock as their breaths hitched . the smoke began to clear, half of a titan’s was revealed. showing an arm attached to the titan’s body. at a complete loss eren tried to voice his concern before his lieutenant interrupted “what the hell?! why n-?!” “eren calm down”. looking at her captain .. sayuki saw levi raise his right arm in an atempt to stand down and collect themselves before acting rashly . every single one of them ,looked at eren with a terrifying and dangerous look while they sweated. as the sound rung out, Hanji and moblit, exited the forest of big trees in question. “what? what was that sound?”Hanji's eyes widen with excitement as it took over, making them jump in the air with utter joy on their face . shaking his head moblit smiled awkwardly finding the eccentric brunette unbelievable. Petra, Gunther, Oluo and Eld cornered the boy in a circle while Levi tried to calm them down. y/n tried to get his arm out of the titan’s flesh, but he couldn't. ‘fuck that stings!’ retracting her hand away from her boyfriend before she’d actually have an injury . “Eren what’s the meaning of this?!”Shrieks Eld, who sweats viciously. raising a brow in pure confusion the boy managed to voice that feeling “sir?” did i stutter? of all times why now? without permission? well? answer me!”

getting in front of her boyfriend y/n attempted to defend the boy she cherishes “s-sir wait! eren didn’t mean to -“Answer him, Eren, what were you thinking?!” both teenagers were at a loss for words at how suddenly the tables had turned on them. “No, that can wait” gunther walks towards the two , gripping his swords tightly while continuing to shout . “prove that you are not our enemy, the enemy of humanity!”. “Eren glances around with unease as gunther continues to scream at him . “prove it now!! as of right now he is his own responsibility!”. “ I challenge you to make one movement with that arm ! I’ll cut off his head!”y/n gasps at olulo’s words. as does Eren, who gasped, looking at him over his shoulder . “ I can do it..I'm serious! wanna try me?” growing tired of this sayuki rubbed her temples in irritation. “damn it olulo, calm the fuck down the captain already told you earlier!!” . “captain .. lieutenant ! get away from eren! both of you are too close!”. both refused to back away “no, you’re the one who should get back. back away now” completely unbothered levi instructed with a commanding presence. “but why?!” petra shrieked stunned why her superior would order them to do that . growing tired of the situation sayuki began to order their subordinates brashly without screaming at them “for gods sake petra, use that head of yours neither of the captain’s or my intuition are ever wrong.. i suggest for everyone to use their damn heads”. although sayuki never yelled at them when talking they could still feel those intimidating eyes burning them. all kf them started asking many questions non-stop, making both eren and y/n more nervous while sweating. eren clenches his teeth trying and failing to pull his arm out of the titan’s flesh levi looks at everyone rolling his eyes with his face showing that he is so done with this . “Everyone just shut the hell up !”.. superior or not y/n glared at four of the veterans excluding the captain and the lieutenant. they all stop their yelling and turn to face the two. from the distance, Hange charges straight over to eren, grinning madly. enthusiastic as what they’re seeing hange practically had stars in their eyes “Eren!“hange pushes a few soldiers away and begins to beg ..” can i touch that arm?!”. beginning to drool hange pressed forward “It's ok, right? Right?! Just let me touch it!” before eren could finish warning them hange presses their hands against the titan’s fleshy hand which burns them . sayuki and levi sweat dropped at their over eccentric friend both thinking at the same time with deadpan expressions ‘he tried to warn you shitty glasses’. the over enthusiastic section commander dancing in glee . “Without the skin, it's really damned hot! Unbelievably hot!”.

while trying to regulate his breathing moblit tried to scold hange “section commander that was very reckless of you!”. as if they didn’t hear moblit hange pestered eren with loads of questions. “don't you feel it's hot, Eren? How does it feel where the right hand connects? I really want to see!”. Hanji exclaims as Eren looks down on his hand. “That's right, If I pull out this hand”. eren goes back onto pulling his arm struggling once more. groaning in irritation at the stubborn arm”stupid thing!”. Oluo becomes alerted, still gripping his blades “Hey, Eren, don’t do anything rash!”. Eren was fighting it until finally, he managed to get his right arm out, eren fell back, but he fell onto the ground with force. y/n looks at him worriedly while she pulls him back up to stand the boy with green/teal eyes that she adores his eyes softened for her grateful that she was by his side the entire time. meanwhile the body began to steam as hange cried, holding its head. “Wait.. what?! that was way too fast! I still wanted to investigate some things”.

hange stops their panicking once they noticed the bent spoon. Levi turned to eren while he was breathing hard. “Get off there eren” He told her, eren nods while he sweats. sayuki walks forward and approaches eren as he leans on his knees and pants. eren looks at sayuki out of the corner of his eye. after eren went through all that stress sayuki rubbed his back tenderly while the petite woman crouched down. knowing she needed to show this titan boy her warm gentle side of her “ eren how do you feel ?”still huffing the boy answered honestly “n-not so good lieutenant “. worried that this 15 year old kid might collapse soon sayuki bent down and picked up the kid with no difficulty . Almost everyone except levi zoomed backwards with their mouths hanging down y/n was surprised as well but didn’t overreact like the whole squad did. “L-Lieutenant ! please don’t..i’m too heavy for-“. “honestly you’re not even that heavy “.. “I’ve taken guys down bigger than you “. “you mean the titans right”. not bothering to elaborate sayuki answered with a simple “no”. confusing the entire team .. with dimbfounded faces . levi gave no reaction to the conversation those two had while the four of them went outside . putting the brunette teenager down gently y/n intertwined her hand with his kissing the back of that hand . once they had their little moment both of the young lovebirds showed a melancholy expression . “Until we saw that they were actually ready to kill me, we didn't understand. that they doubted me so much”. “Of course they did that’s why I chose them”. while levi stated matter of factly sayuki sighed and tried a different approach with a gentle softer tone for the titan boy “eren listen, people say you truly become a full member of the scouts after making it back alive from a mission. but whenever you fight the Titans, you never have enough information. there are too many situations you just can't anticipate, no matter what.. all if them had to cultivate the ability to take quick action and to make ruthless decisions by assuming the worse case scenario.. but that doesn't mean they've became heartless. it isn’t like they felt nothing when they turned their swords at you”.eren finally smiled at his superior for understanding how he felt . “Captain Levi”. moblit says, opening the door . “section commander hange wants to see you”. heading back inside y/n, eren , sayuki and levi headed towards the dining room to see everyone gathered around a table. Levi was the first to enter,next was sayuki, y/n and finally eren who had closed the door. “Take a long crap?”. Levi questions sarcastically as Hanji just shrugs their shoulders. “actually it was pleasently quick, I wasn't sure what to tell the brass”. hange holds up a wrapped up cloth “but for now”. they place it back on the table and unfold it revealing the spoon from earlier. “look at this” slightly tilting her head sayuki says flatly “hange it’s just a teaspoon” “ yes, it’s the same spoon that the right hand titan that eren created was holding this. like this, between its index finger and thumb. It's hard to imagine that was an accident... and for some reason, the heat and pressure didn't warp the spoon at all. does anything come to mind?” Hanji states, looking up at Eren as he sweats a bit . y/n she tried handing it to me as I went to grab it.. but i transformed right at that moment”. Hange nods, returning their gaze at the spoon “I see... that may explain why you couldn't transform earlier. "Kill the Titans", "Block the cannon shell", "Lift the boulder", In each case, you had a clear goal in mind before you transformed. my theroy is that your self-inflicted injury probably isn’t the sole trigger .. you might need a goal as well”. although he nodded agreeing to hange he couldn’t help but wonder something .“It's true that when I turned into a titan this time, it was like when I blocked that cannon shell. but then.. i turned into a titan to retrieve a spoon? What the hell does that mean”as he furrowed his brows it didn’t make any sense why all that happened just to pick up a spoon .

Nie Mingjue is very proud of the control he has. Without it Baxia would go rampant every other day, Nie Mingjue knows it, but his control also comes in handy in different life situations.

He hasn’t strangled Jin Guangshan yet, nor Jin Guangyao, and Nie Mingjue thinks that’s deserving of some pride.

He hates the moments when he loses his control, mostly during qi deviations, but he knows that those instances are completely out of his control, so he doesn’t beat himself up over it.

Right now, though, he doesn’t have an excuse.

There is no explanation for why he stepped forward and kissed Jiang Cheng. Why he is still kissing Jiang Cheng.

Nie Mingjue has lost complete and utter control over himself and he can’t even find it in him to stop. Instead he kisses Jiang Cheng again and again, like he has wanted to do for so long.

He only stops when Jiang Cheng makes a sound in his throat that feels like a bucket of cold water has been upended over Nie Mingjue. He wrenches himself away from Jiang Cheng—and it’s harder than it has any right to be—and the implication of what he did hits him full force.

He just kissed Jiang Cheng.

“I—” he starts, though he’s not sure what he’s going to say, so he trails off.

Nie Mingjue is still searching for words when Jiang Cheng blinks once, twice and then simply turns around on his heels and leaves the room.

The regret that slams into Nie Mingjue is instant and it’s enough to almost send him to his knees.

“What have I done?” he whispers to himself and he can’t believe he just lost control of himself like that.

He has always been so proud of himself that he never hurt anyone yet, not even during his qi deviations, and now he hurt the only person he truly cares about beyond Nie Huaisang and Lan Xichen.

He just took something from Jiang Cheng and going by his response it was not freely given.

Underground:

Pondering what to make for dinner y/n heard screaming ‘ that voice.. isabel !’. with adrenaline kicking in. she ran .. making it in time seeing that the red heads hair was cut, her face and arms had bruises all over . That wasn’t the worst part she heard those men saying that they’ll ‘have fun with her ‘ . She was past enraged and shouted to get their attention . “Oi!!” Turning their attention to the H/C haired woman saying they’ll start with her instead . Y/N hates killing and would rather avoid it, but if it meant that she helped someone or that she can liveanother day then she’d kill in a heartbeat without any hesitation .
