SMOOCHIN'

♡ Broker constantly finds ways to get ahold of your number even if you change it to try shaking him off your trail. You get woken up at ungodly hours of the night to your phone ringing, picking it up only greets you with the most agitating grating voice ever...Broker. He'd try yapping to you all about his day, how he nearly escaped the warden, what Scythe was up to, and even he'd spill what was happening inside the cult! It was only just a little bit of info though. Its always REALLY hard to pay attention to whatever he was saying when he sounded oddly like he had ran a damn marathon.

♡ If you're a member of the cult I'm wishing you luck on trying to get him away from you. He'll interrupt whatever you were assigned to just so he can talk to you, even begging to try to go on assignments the church gave with you. Most times he doesn't even have to beg, he'll already have wormed his stupid face into whatever assignment you had.

♡ If you're NOT a member he's still going to worm his way into your life. If you participate in phights he's somehow always nearby with that stupid smile on his face, immediately asking you about all the contestants you went against. You watch as his expression changes as you mention Katana, slightly scowling before going back to his usual freakish smile. Even if you don't, he'll be everywhere.

♡ Convincing you to join the cult became one of his favorite topics to talk to you about. He swears up and down that if you leave your normal life and join a totally normal murder cult that you'll be happier! Especially since he'll be with you! He'll be there when you have to get your eye pulled out, he'll even do it himself if it'll make you feel better. Now which one? Right or Left?

♡ If convincing you doesn't work he can always ask Scythe to do a favor for him! So don't be afraid if a certain cultist breaks into your house to whisk you away. Scythe ignores any kicking and screaming along with any of your questions until she drops you off to Broker which unfortunately would answer all your questions.

♡ Once Broker has you in his hands he tries treating you as his right-hand man. Everyone needs one! He's Scythe's right hand so now you have to be his! He'll be all loving and sweet no matter how much you cry and scream.

Thirsty.

You were thirsty, the dry feeling in your throat forced you awake and out of bed. You kicked your feet over the edge of your bed so you could slip on your fuzzy slippers. Your blanket was draped over your shoulders, trailing behind you as you walked to your kitchen. Mittens, your cat, got up and stretched and as you dragged the blanket

Your week has been good. Your friends had taken you to this nice cafe in Crossroads that had the yummiest desserts and drinks! The staff was nice too, especially your waiter. From what you remembered his name was Shuriken, he was... something. You guessed he was sweet and a little bit stupid in a cute kind of way.

His horns were a pretty pink like freshly bloomed hibiscus, but you remember noticing the remnants of lime green paint at the base of them. Shuriken... you've always seen him working at the cafe or with his sister, Vinestaff. You always waved at him and maybe gave him a smile but that was it. It had become a habit to always go since the cafe had become one of your favorites.

Sighing, you grabbed a glass from the cabinet before filling it with water. Bringing the glass to your lips you take a large sip of the water before swallowing your throat relieved now that it wasn't as dry as a desert. Looking down you notice that your beloved cat Mittens has run off somewhere, " Mittens?" You called out as you walked around your house.

She wasn't in her normal hiding spots or her favorite lounging spots. You ended up checking everywhere in your house until you ended up seeing her in your bedroom. " There you are!" You gasped rushing towards her. Mittens was glaring at something out your window, most likely a bird or some sort of rodent. Giggling at the thought as you knelt down to pick her up only to realize how... alert she was. Her big yellow eyes glaring outside,you couldn't help following her gaze.

There was a monster. Someone was at your window, staring at you from the tree. From your window you saw a masked figure dressed in all black, the glowing green eyes of it glared you down. You felt like prey as you glanced at the twisted grin of malice etched into the wood.

A flash of light illuminated you ,your cat, and the masked figure. A moment of silence passed between you and the stranger behind the glass,nothing but the sound of a polaroid printing muffled behind glass. You blinked...and it was gone.

You didn't sleep that night.

The encounter had left you on edge to say the very least. At every moment you felt like you were being watched like that figure from that night would stalk you again. You stared down at your drink, an affogato that you haven't even started on. The ice cream had practically all melted by now leaving a shitty latte due to how long you've been moping.

It was going to find you. What would it do if it got in your house? Would your cat be safe? Would you be safe? Would -

The sound of a plate being set down snapped you out of your spiral, glancing up, you saw the grinning face of your favorite waiter.

Shuriken.

He had that goofy stupid smile before his expression dropped the slightest. " Hey ...you doing ok? " He asked ever so sweetly. You looked at the brownie he had set down in front of you before looking back up at him. You couldn't help but spill everything, spilling about your stalker and how it - whoever it was - probably had photos of you! Shuriken was at your side through it all, comforting you and promising that it would all be ok.

"That's... about it. I'm just- so scared! This guy could be lurking,he could be in my neighborhood and, y'know, he could be anyone! " You whimpered, Shuriken's hand rubbing at your back grounding you.

You blinked the tears of panic away from your eyes, noticing now the sun was setting, shakily you picked up your bag. Shuriken seemed to immediately notice your discomfort at the deep blue settling over the sky. " If you want I can like...walk you home and stay at your place y'know to keep you safe." He smiled, seemingly sheepish. You had never agreed to something so quickly.

Gathering your stuff you rushed to the door, waiting for Shuriken who immediately followed after you. He seemed to be focusing on a polaroid photo he held in his fingers. You didn't pay any mind to it, it wouldn't be of any harm. Shuriken would never do anything wrong... right?

A click rings through your ears.

Spawndays were always a big deal in Playground,one giant party every year to celebrate that you basically lived and haven't let the Inpherno take your life yet. However, today there was no party. None of the people you invited showed up and you haven't even received a birthday message.

You had spent hours blowing up balloons, making homemade invites, setting up your small humble house with decorations of your favorite colors and even working hard to make yourself and everyone who was supposed to come a big cake! Yet here you were alone.

What had gone wrong? You were sure that everyone said they were coming. Did they just all lie to give you false hope and shatter your dreams into a million pieces? Your friends wouldn't do that to you, right? A short sigh escaped your lips as you looked around the decorated room,the colorful decorations now seemed dull and lifeless which reflected how you felt at the moment.

A part of you clinged to the hope that everyone was just late that there would be a knock at the door and everyone you cared about you rush in to give you the best spawnday ever. Yet after a few hours your hope began to fade, messages left unread, missed phone calls and the almost eerie silence of your house.

That was that then.

No one was coming. So what's the point of keeping up the decorations? With a heavy heart you began to take down the decorations, deciding to just toss them in the trash; hardly wanting to look at them right now. Currently you were standing on a chair so you could take down some of the streamers that was until you heard a knock on your door,it sounded almost frantic like whoever was knocking was begging you were home.

Your fists quickly pounded at their back as you were pulled into a hug , demanding your release from their bear hug. There was only one demon in the Inpherno this could be. Skateboard, your boyfriend.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!" He blurted out immediately, a spew of apologies and explanations leaving the skater boy's mouth. Overtime at a phight making him run behind schedule and him having to book it back to his house to grab your gifts, wrap them and then rush over to your house.

Skateboard immediately backed you into your house, sitting you on your couch. He immediately began shoving gifts into your lap. There were three of varying sizes. You happily tore into your gifts,the biggest of the gifts was a plush stoat that you had been eyeing from one of your favorite stores and the other two being really cute jewelry!

One looked like it was from a store while the other was a handmade bracelet of beads that had your favorite colors and then beads that represent him and his favorite colors. A quick glance at his arm showed that he had a matching one around his wrist.

You and Skateboard cuddling on your couch,wrapped in each other's arms being comforted by each other's body heat. A content sigh escaped you as Skateboard buried his face in your hair inhaling the scent of you.

"Happy Spawnday..."
