꒰ ͜͡➸ bonded

i made eye contact with phantom, and suddenly i wanted nothing more than to hold him close and protect him from all. i went to move forward but quickly held myself back, opting to just hold eye contact.

though, my efforts were deemed useless as phantom crawled out of aether's arms and into mine, a soft purr rumbling in his chest as he clutched onto me. my jaw dropped slightly and i looked up at copia, not realizing i had wrapped my arms around phantom, holding him closer.

"phantom," copia started, seeing my shock. "how about you let go of our dear ghoulette and we can get you settled into a room?" copia offered, reaching out to phantom.  though, phantom recoiled and aether's hand shot out to grip onto copia's wrist, stopping him from moving any closer.

"do you want y/n to come with?" aether asked softly, rubbing his brother's back. phantom nodded, his timid eyes shining bright purple.

allowing phantom to clutch onto me seemed to be one of the worst decisions i had ever made. phantom was clingy and constantly seeking my approval and attention for every single thing he did on his own. of course, he went to dew and rain sometimes, but mainly he was looking for my attention.

"phantom, please," i sighed as phantom tapped my shoulder for the millionth time, practically begging for my attention. "i need to work." i said, looking at him with a slight frown.

"i know, i'm sorry," phantom apologized but continued on. "but i have a question. it's about me adjusting to topside, i promise." phantom spoke, glancing up into my eyes nervously. i nodded, waiting for his question.

"i.. why does my stomach only feel fluttery around you?" he asked. i raised an eyebrow, my heart dropping as my head started to spin.

he gets butterflies around me..?

"it's like my stomach ties up in knots and rustles around whenever i'm around you. that's why i don't make eye contact a whole lot. and my face heats up, and my tail gets all thrashy and-" phantom continued to rant about everything he felt around me.

phantom... the new summon.. has a crush on me?

"i.. i dunno," i shrugged. "there's a book in the library that explains everything about being topside to new summons. it should be there." i offered, knowing damn well i knew exactly why he was feeling what he was. "really?" phantom asked. i nodded. he grinned and hugged me, something he only did with his brother, nuzzling into my neck.

"you smell good." phantom said before smiling at me and darting off to the library. i let out a breath i didn't know i was holding, feeling extremely light headed.

swiss barked out a laugh as i finished explaining everything to him.

"no fucking way!" swiss cackled. "you've found your soulmate? do you know how often that happens??" swiss grinned widely. i nodded, covering my face as i muttered: "never."

"exactly! y/n, babe, you gotta make some moves on him." swiss grinned, pulling me into a side hug.

"imagine. y/n and phantom, power couple of the ministry—best friends, lovers, soulmates." swiss spoke dramatically, holding me close.

"satan, you're no help." i groaned, standing up from the couch and starting to pace. "he's barely acclimated to being topside and he's already feeling the bond! lucifer, swiss, what and i supposed to do? i can't get into a relationship with him! he's already overwhelmed," i ranted, my hands finding my hair and starting to lightly tug as my pacing became more dramatic.

swiss was quick to stand and pull my hands away from my hair, brushing my hair behind my horns to keep it out of my face.

"you're right, you can't tell him right now. you can't get in a relationship with him, either." swiss spoke, all lightheartedness in his voice completely gone. "but you can be there for him. i can tell you care about him, so show that. once he's ready, he'll be more assertive when he asks you about everything again. then you can tell him. then you can get into a relationship." swiss offered all of his advice. i let out a breath of relief and nodded, hugging swiss.
