☠︎︎𖤐☠︎
Your high heels clacked on the marble flooring as you rushed to the library. What could have happened while Swiss was gone for so long? Sure, it's been like a bajillion years, but he seems really different... You just hoped you didn't lose your only best friend...
Now you were anxiously wandering around till you found the library... You were lost.
"Shit.." You huffed. How did anyone even know their way around here? You groaned as you looked around you.
"Bro, where the fuck am I?!" You just pushed yourself to keep moving forward till you bumped into someone.
You almost thought of giving up and apologizing to Swiss the next morning... But you haven't seen him in so long.
"Bene quiescere, Sister.." You heard a faint resounding voice echo threw the halls.
Was that.. "Primo?" You whispered out to yourself.
You picked up your pace to follow the familiar voice. After a few turns you were met with Primo bowing his head to one of the sisters of sin. You watched the two in curiosity.
"Will I see you again tomorrow night, Papa?" The nun asked as she laid her hands against Primo's chest.
"Of course, mi cielito." Primo placed a hand against her cheek.
You grinned as you watched the two lovers.
She chuckled lightly, "Alright, Papa, I'll see you tomorrow then." she then walked off to her dorm.
You laughed as you decided to reveal your presence. Primo jumped and turned in your direction.
"Y/n!" He gasped, "I mean- Y/n, how can I help you this evening?" He asked panickily.
"Don't stress, Primo, I won't give away your secret forbidden lover." You nudged his side as he cocked a brow.
"I'm not sure what you mean, Y/n." He muttered with a glare. All you could do was smile at his state.
"Sure, whatever you say loverboy. Say, mind helping me find my way to the library?" You asked.
"The library? I'm afraid it's closed at this hour, dear." Primo responded.
"Oh, well I'm not going to the library, just meeting someone near there." Primo chuckled.
"A secret forbidden lover, perhaps?" He smirked.
You scoffed, "Are you being sarcastic with me, Papa Primo?" you crossed your arms.
He laughed.
"Didn't know you had it in you," You said as you started to walk off.
"Sooo, you gonna show me to the library or not?" You called out.
"Wrong way, Y/n!" Primo snorted as he walked in the opposite direction of you.
"Shit- Wait up!" You huffed as you ran over to him.
"You're a fast walker for an old man."
Primo turned to you, offended.
"Old man? Please, you should see me on stage." He shook his head with a tsk.
"Didn't you literally give your role to Secondo because you were getting too old?"
"I didn't want to, I was forced. It was Secondos time, my time was up." You hummed.
"If you say so."
You both walked side by side in silence for a while after that. Primo's presence was actually one of the more calming compared to the others you've met here so far. He just seemed chillaxed, he's been through too much shit to actually give a shit anymore.
"So who is this mystery person you are meeting?" He spoke up.
"My friend, Swiss."
"I figured."
You glanced over at him, trying to take in his features a bit more. He really did look quite old. Well, not as old as Terzo and Copia make him sound to be.
"Hey, so who was that nun-"
"I don't think that's any of your business, Y/n." His tone deepened.
"Sorry..." You mumbled.
...
"Her name is Angelina... she's worked with us for quite a while now."
You raised your head to look up at him.
"Angelina... Such a gorgeous name." You smiled. He chuckled and stared down at you.
"Yes, it is. From the moment she started here, which was nearing the end of my era, she caught my eye. We got along from the moment we laid eyes on each other." Primo smiled at the thought of her.
You couldn't blame him, from the small peak you got of her, she really was pretty. Long brown fluffy hair, big nose, freckles.
"It wasn't long till Secondo also fell for her friend, Bonny." He laughed.
Your heart couldn't help but drop a little. Does Secondo have a lover?
"She was very beautiful as well. Such a shame."
"Well, what happened to Bonny?"
"Oh... Don't tell Secondo I ever spoke of her to you... She stopped working with us a while ago as Secondo... Well, he cheated on her. Many times."
"Shit, really?!" You exclaimed jaw dropped.
"Yes, but he has learned his lesson from that. He didn't love her as much as she loved him... She was such a pure soul as well, she already went threw so much. Angelina never liked him after that." Primo shrugged.
"Damn, I never would have thought of Secondo to be a cheater..." You sighed.
"What can I say, he's needy, and sometimes incredibly greedy."
"Poor Bonny.." You frowned.
"Yes... I have a picture of all of us four if you would like to see it?" He dug threw his robe pockets.
"You just always have it on you?"
He hummed as he pulled out a photograph.
There they were, Primo was next to Angelina, Secondo next to who you guessed was Bonny.
Bonny was dark-skinned and had a beautiful afro. The photo was a bit worn out so you couldn't really see well. But shit, Primo and Secondo looked marvelous. They were in very fancy outfits and looked much younger.
"When was this?" You asked.
"1990's, we were in our 40's, they were in their 20's" You nodded.
"You guys actually had hair..." You chuckled.
"Hmm, yes, we did have hair."
Primo had his hair to about his mid back and same with Secondo.
Due to the photo only being black and white you only guessed Secondo has dark brown hair and Primo a bit blonde-ish.
"Wow... You all looked amazing.. You still do of course!" You said as you passed the photo back.
Primo hummed, "Well, the library is just down this hall."
"Thank you, Primo, I enjoyed our little walk." You smiled.
"Yes, as did I. I'll see you around, hopefully we can have another walk together." Primo said as he vanished with a swish of his robe.
How the fuck did he do that?
You hesitantly looked away as you began walking back to your destination.
There it was, the library doors.
"Swiss? You there?!" You tried to whisper.
No response.
"He better not have forgotten and I just walked all the way out here for no reason." You tsked.
Well... At least you got a nice walk and conversation with Primo out of it?
You decided to give Swiss another chance and wait around for a bit.
You sighed as you plopped down on the marble flooring.
....
.........
..............
Man, this was boring.
You laid against the wall as you played with the fire on your fingertips. You watched and paid close attention to your movement as you tried to form a dancing woman.
You smiled to yourself as you felt the warmth of the fire spreading threw your arms, the tingling sensation bringing comfort to you. You shut your eyes, putting all your attention into your arms and hands trying your hardest to form this woman.
You frowned as the tingling slowly turned into needle feelings. You peaked open to see your progress...
You did it.
You actually did it.
"Holy shit! Yes! Finally!" You exclaimed.
You almost cried of happiness as you watched your creation dance in front of you. She was only half your size, but you were never able to do this.
Just a few seconds after the needles turned into knifes slicing all of your arms.
"GAH-" You yelped as a tear slipped down your cheek.
"Fuck- I FUCKING HAD IT-" You yelled in frustration.
"Y/n?! You okay?" You heard someone running to your side.
"Swiss- Shit, sorry, I didn't mean to be so loud."
"No, no, It's alright. I was just down the hall." Swiss spoke as he examined your arms.
"Y/n.. You're bleeding..." He sighed.
"I know.."
"Y/n, I told you to stop pushing yourself! You're going to seriously injure yourself one day and then-"
"SWISS! I know! Please, just... I know." You groaned.
....
"I'm sorry, you just worry me-"
"Don't. I'm not a child, Swiss." You snarled.
"Hey, don't snarl at me! I'm just caring." Swiss squeezed your arm making you wince.
"Sorry.. Come on, let's get you bandaged up." He spoke softly as he helped you up.
"You've gotten better. Last time I saw you couldn't even light a candle properly."
...
You hummed as you watched your burnt arms drip small drops of blood. These are definitely going to scar.
"I'll ask Sodo if he has anything to help. Y'know since he's also a fire-"
"It's fine. I just need bandages. They heal fast." You muttered.
"Y/n, I know you get embarrassed or whatever, but your arms just fucked up. You'll get infected."
"Swiss, just get me the fucking bandages!" You groaned as you began losing your patients.
The rest of the walk to his room was silent.
Swiss let you enter first then followed behind you.
"The bandages should be under the bed." He said as he switched the lights on.
You kneeled down to look under the bed. You found two boxes, one was a cute purple wooden box and the other was a plain cardboard box.
The bandages were probably in the cardboard box but the purple box... intrigued you.. You hesitated but reached for the cardboard box.
The box was just filled with random shit like books, magazines, bandages.... and condoms..
You couldn't help but smirk and grabbed the bandages. As you slid the box back under the bed they thudded the purple box behind it...
Usually you wouldn't give a shit but.. it was really calling to you. You haven't seen Swiss in so long. What's he doing with some girly cute purple box.
You looked behind you to see Swiss just organizing the room a bit.
You looked back to the box. Fuck it.
You tried to slide it towards you as quick but quietly as you could.
The box has pink flowers and gems decorated around it. It also had a name written..
It read.. "Y/n's"...
Y/n? You never had a box like that...
You attempted to swiftly open the lock without noise. You lifted the lid and saw many photographs and jewelry.
What the fuck?
"Did you find them?" Swiss piped up.
You threw the box back under the bed in panic. "Hmm? Oh yeah." You answered and sat on his bed.
You began tying them around your arm until Swiss slapped your hand away.
"Let me do it." He sat beside you and began carefully wrapping you up.
"Sorry for being moody.. I just had it finally and then I start fucking bleeding."
"We all start somewhere, Y/n-"
"Swiss, I'm like a billion years old." You deadpanned.
"Well.. It's progress. It's not your fault you were born with... whatever you have. It just makes it very difficult for you to use your powers. You just have to toughen your skin and stuff." He shrugged.
"Yeah... So what did you wanna tell me?"
Swiss paused and seemed panicked. "I- Um.. Well y'know just how life's been."
"You sure? You made it seem like a bigger deal earlier?" You questioned.
Swiss started making the bandages very tight and he rushed. He began breathing much heavier.
"Fuck."
"Are you okay-"
"I fell in love with a human."
