You were never one to fall for jinshi. Watching him flaunt himself at multiple woman and watching them coo in awe was truly exhausting. But what was even more exhausting was the way he seemed to be attached to you. Either it was him giving you the eyes and that damn smile or it was way he seemed to be everywhere you were. Though he did have his moments where he surely started to get to you, and tonight was one of those nights.

You were walking around the inner palace walls one night, having time for yourself. You were enjoying the time you had until you heard someone whining not for far away from you. You raised an eyebrow as your eyes slowly recognized the voice, and then the face. It was Jinshi, her cheeks flustered pink and obviously drunk.

As your gaze locked on his figure Jinshi quickly caught you looking at him and hurriedly wobbled his way over to you. His usual facade was completely gone and nothing but a whiny, drunk man whom was wobbling over to you. “Mm.. y/n…” Jinshi mumbled out as he stumbled over to them, landing right in their arms. “Jinshi… what are you-“ you tried to ask, but was abruptly interrupted by Jinshi as he shoved his face into your neck, leaning into you with all his body weight causing you to lose balance and fall on your butt on the soft grass, and soon was Jinshi following, landing right on top if you. “Mmm… apothecary…” jinshi muttered against them as he closed his eyes, resting his cheek on their chest, almost nuzzling into them. You let out a sigh, looking back at him. You rolled your eyes slightly as you looked down at the man, but you couldn’t help but realize how… normal he looked as he nuzzled into you.

“Jinshi get up…” you sighed, trying to nudge him off you. “No…” jinshi muttered back, his eyes closed as he shoved himself farther into your chest. “Jinshi, you need to get up… people will see u-“ you tried to state but stopped yourself when you heard gentle sobs. You quickly looked back down at jinshi to see him gently crying, gentle tears lining his purple eyes as he looked up at you. “Please… I don’t care… just… don’t leave me…” jinshi said quietly, almost pitifully as he gently cried against your chest. You sighed, knowing he was strong to just simply move off so you stayed quiet, letting him cry gently as your hands moved into his hair, gently brushing your hands through his hair.

You both laid their for a moment, just basking in his gentle sobs and his soft hair before Jinshi slowly stopped crying and looked up at you, his lip pouted out slightly. “Sleep with me tonight in my room,..” Jinshi asked quietly, looking at you with those eyes. You just sighed, biting your lip thinking about the consequences of actually sleeping with the man, but the tight grip he had on you told you you didn’t really have a choice. “..okay…” you sighed quietly, looking at him. “Hurry… up.” Jinshi muttered, practically scrambling to his feet as he helped you up, grabbing you by your hands before speed walking with you back to his place in the rear palace. They both were soon greater with Suiren and Gaoshun, bowing slightly at Jinshis arrival. “Good evening, Young Master.” Suirens soft voice said as she looked back up at jinshi with a soft smile, and Gaoshun simply just nodded. “Retire for the night.” Jinshi said simply, walking past the two as he walked with you to his bedroom. As soon as you both entered his bedroom he closed his door, locking it and hurriedly placed you on the bed, laying you down and then he laid down, cuddling close to you.

“Are you usually this cuddly with everyone you sleep with…” you said quietly, sighing as you gently continued playing with his hair. “Y/n..” Jinshi whined softly, looking at him cuddle back into their chest. “To you.” Jinshi said simply, brining his face up to yours, his nose almost touching yours. “You’re so pretty…” jinshi muttered, looking right into your eyes as his lips moved closer to yours. “Let me kiss you…” jinshi said softly, his eyes pleading, glossy with tears. You paused for a moment, just looking at him before nodding softly, not being able to even speak. That was all jinshi needed before his lips connected with yours, his eyes closing as he held you close. You simply fell into the kiss, your hands softly moved to his cheeks as you kissed him back.

Bury me low and bury me with Ambush pictures

The formatting is super fucked up I am so sorry

Also Seek is trying SO BAD NOT TO SHOW..ANYTHING.. The strength not to kiss Lizard is immense. The strength author trying not make them kiss is also required immense willpower.

Figure also can’t really talk “normally” due to the sheer volume of shit that’s slowly making its way into its mouth.

That weird mind connection thing between Seek and Figgy they also had due to Seek constantly chilling in/on its body is also severed due to how long they were apart.

It can however do a bit of Morse which Seek understands well enough.

—-

In a large cave, a small waterfall cascaded and flowed into a tiny stream that split the cavern in two. Crystals glowed and vines that just as luminously shined a gorgeous blue all across the cave.

It was also infested with thousands of eyes. Blinking. Staring. Watching. All of them belonged to a dark humanoid creature with four arms. Eyes dotted themselves all over its arms and all across its collar. It held small needles in three of its hands, they seemed locked in concentration.

Beneath it lay a large being still small compared to the vast ocean of inky blackness it’s companion was made up of. It’s skin agonizingly jutted outwards in rocky pieces. It’s ribs too, had small spiny rocks jutting out of them.

It lay flat on its hard stomach. Completely still. The only sign of life being the labored rasps it made.

Seek once more pushed another pin into Figure’s tail. Carefully examining the many, many..thousands perhaps of cracks within the structure of its hardened skin.

Seek would be more fascinated..if it wasn’t actively turning Figure into a living statue.

Seek traced a finger from its tail to the back of its head.

All along its lower back..all the way down to its legs..completely impenetrable..

“Pure stone.” It murmured. “If you can even call it that..” Was it stone?

Perhaps it was some sort of keratin armor skin..gone horribly awry.. maybe it was skin that simply never shed..?

Perhaps it could be removed..? Able to be shaved off even?

Seek twirled the needle in its bottom left hand.

It also began to consider..other possibilities..more unpleasant ones..

It traced a finger slightly downwards before putting in another needle. This one near the base of its tail.

What if this was some form of malignant cancer..? Or perhaps even something somehow more horrible then that..? Seek silently cursed itself for lack of familiarity or progress on what could be killing Figure.

A city’s worth of knowledge it had at its disposal… it had wasted countless decades reading utterly useless romance novels and human mythology when it could’ve prepared itself for a situation like this!

It moved its hand back towards the nape of Figure’s head.

For now.. it was just going to play it safe..treat it like the chronic illness it is..mitigate the pain..maintain some sense of normalcy..with what medical knowledge it did have..

It carefully pushed two small cracks apart and managed to carefully guide another pin into it’s dusty flesh.

It backed away, giving the needles time to settle in Figure’s muscles.

It settled on a nearby mossy slab of cave rock.

Taking its time to relax and unwind a little into its thoughts as it watched Figure’s pained rasps begin to subside little by little.

Human mythology..

it remembered a story from one of the countless books it read in its city.

Between tales of silly giant wooden creatures used to deceive people to long epics of adventures long ago..one story stood out to it in its memories.

The tale of a human man who found the women of his kind too flawed for himself so as a result.. he sculpted a bride from ivory and fell in love with his creation. Loving no other thing but her.

The cave’s temperature seemed a bit more humid.

Then..during the holiday of one of his gods. He prayed that he may find a woman as beautiful as the ivory statue he had made.

And in doing so.. a goddess answered his prayers.

Once the sculptor returned home to his studio and kissed his ivory statue..he found her lips warm and his ivory lover alive.

Seek found the story amusing at the time.

Silly human.

Imagine being so egotistical that you reject your own kind and fall In love with a stupid statue! How preposterous! How pathetic! How amusing! How..below it..

It watched Figure stir. It was silent now. The rasping and cries had long since vanished.

Had it fallen asleep..?

More importantly, why did it care? Figure was certainly no Galatea and certainly not…after..everything..after.. Seek Felt a small wave of emotion coming. Something it couldn’t describe.

A mixture of anger and frustration tainted with..that made seek deeply uncomfortable.

It crawled into Seek’s chest and choked its way into its throat.

Silly Seek. Foolish Seek even.

It gripped the moss it sat upon.

Don’t be feeling that now. Now. Now. Just NOT now. Not here, not with it. NOT NOW!

Emotion clouds your judgement! You make stupid, rash decisions! That’s not very godlike of it! Anger, resentment, Grief..perhaps something else even..whatever it felt!

NOT HERE. NOT NOW.

The cave got more humid. Some of its eyes were reddened. Just until it can back to the city.. just not now.. please..Don’t let it feel anything now.. It tucked its face into its hands.

Figure whimpered softly before it opened its jaw a tad and let out a sharp sigh that made its companion a bit startled.

It formed a hand from a nearby wall and carefully lifted its head to address the other exhausted entity.

“You’re awake early…another nightmare I presume..?” It said cooly, its voice echoed across the cavernous room and cascading back with the intent to soothe.

Figure could really only nod before releasing a distorted trill that made Seek snort.

“No Figure, your in a cave, remember..? The needles?”

Figure trilled again. Seek looked almost insulted.

“I am not using you as a ‘pincushion!’ These needles SERVE a purpose and humans traditionally use them to minimize pain and discomfort-“

Seek carefully lifted Figure’s head to get a better look beneath its neckline.

Figure suddenly hissed and jerked its head to snap at Seek before it heard an audible snap and let out a groan of pain.

“… Something of which.. you have plenty of…”

Seek carefully began to pull pins out. Starting with the back of Figure’s head and going downwards.

Figure after awhile hesitantly trilled again. This trill was low and long.

“..Ah, no. It’s fine. Very little can hurt me physically..” Seek grumbled.

Figure released another trill. This one still morose but a tad softer.

“..Ah, Screech and…our…eldest..? They live outside my city, in fact..I saw them just last week. They’re completely fine and Snare still lives with me.”

’Our’ eldest..it felt foreign in the air as it lingered.

Figure lowered its head. Getting comfortable before letting out a more a..teasing trill.

“Yes Figure, MY city.” Seek announced proudly and gesturing to its chest while it plucked out another needle and twirling said needle with a bit of gusto.

Figure another long skeptical trill that made Seek go silent. Figure continued to trill as it went further into explaining its point.

“That’s..not how it works. It’s not Snare’s city too. Just mine. I literally live in every inch of it..”

Figure trilled again, this time it was a bit more throaty and louder.

“N-NINETY NINE PERCENT!??!” Seek screeched much to Figure’s delight.

The blind entity laughed with its stomach before letting out a soft wheeze of pain coupled with a weaker trill.

It stayed silent for a few seconds as Seek murmured something obscene under its breath..then after a moment, Seek began to slowly slide the needles out of Figure.

Figure made a curious trill..

“..Yes, there is books. There’s many..many books. Probably more then you’ve ever seen in your lifetime..even more then the ones you’ve seen at the hotel..”

Figure trilled again in obvious interest.

“..I suppose I could bring you some in braille or maybe I could..give you directions there..” Seek’s voice edged with uncertainty.

The room grew a tad humid once more as Figure tilted its head slightly as though trying to decipher Seek’s intention, whatever that may be.

Seek tentatively pulled out a few more needles in silence.

Figure slowly tested its mouth, before hissing in pain and and closing its scarred muzzle. A soft whimper of pain filled the air.

Seek’s eye narrowed and it slowly strode over to the front of Figure’s mouth.

“Open, please.”

Figure growled and turned its head away.

Seek crossed its arms and muttered something under its breath. “Really now..? I’m just trying to help you, it’s the least you can do..”

Figure whined softly and made a weak trill that made Seek roll its eye.

“..I’m just looking. Now open it up.”

Slowly, Figure peeled its mouth open, congealed blood, saliva and pieces of rock slowly tumbled downwards from its gaping maw. Pus dripped at the sides of Figure’s gums and pieces of rock cut into its tongue.

Seek only needed a glance at the repulsive mess of blood and rocks that permeated Figure’s mouth in stern, sterile silence. “..Alright, you can close it now.”

It said while forcing its eyes away. Figure quickly shut its mouth and laid its head back down.

As Seek pulled out three more needles. It wordlessly did so with precision and much more accuracy then the last whilst observing the silent Figure on the ground.

After awhile, Figure slowly raised its snout to the air. Feeling the changes in the air. Listening to the sound of the waterfall rippling. The tiny snaps of its flytraps. The soft sound of worms digging in nearby dirt. The gentle tinkling of crystals. The puissant buzzing of Seek’s ever-expanding energy field and the blinking of its many eyes.

It made a distorted trill.

A short question that made Seek shiver.

It took out two more pins silently.

The final pin being the first one it placed within the base of Figure’s tail.

It turned away.

“I won’t let that come even close to fruition. If necessary..I’ll..give you some of my mass.”

It pulled out the final pin and set it aside with the rest.

Pulling itself away to observe Figure. Of whom, shuffled a little before slowly getting up and stretched its legs.

Feeling significantly in less pain then before turning its head towards Seek and trilled softly.

“That means nothing. I’ll be returning tomorrow with something to remedy-“ Seek shivered in revulsion.

“…whatever happened to the festering wound that is the interior of your mouth.”

Figure made a trill of frustration, but Seek was already making its departure. Its eyes locked towards the exit.

“..Enough. Goodnight Figure.”

And soon, Figure was alone again.

It shambled over to its nest, pressing it’s muzzle into its soft mossy surface and quietly wept.

'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Dest' Jun Jinryu Seo-yool Lee - AndyLee Eun-ju, Chain Reaction Counterfeit in Couples' Meeting

“They’re fully booked,” Lucius grumbled as he rejoined the witch after a trip to reception. “I thought it was supposed to be two beds, there’s not even a couch.”

Lucius knew that the Ministry budget was looking bad but not this bad. They had sent Hermione and Lucius together on a diplomatic mission in hopes to show unity between those who once were enemies as well as to convince a foreign ministry to show support in their recent legislative changes. The department had insisted that they could cover the cost of their accommodation, refusing Lucius’ offer to pay for his own and explaining that it’d be better for the two of them to stay in the same place. Though, sharing a bed was perhaps a bit too close for comfort for either of them.

“I’ll sleep on the floor.”

When they had gotten to their room to see it was only one bed with nothing else she had run her fingers through her hair. It was an old habit that she would do when she was worried, and this was a worrying situation. She nodded when Lucius had told her he would go to check if there was anything that could be done at the front desk.

Hermione was sure that they wouldn’t have booked a single bed room for the two of them. There had to have been some mistake; even if they wanted them to be an example to the rest of the wizarding world. The look on his face as he came back to the room told her enough.
