VALENTINO BETTER NOT HURT MY FUCKING BABY IF HE DOES ALASTOR BETTER FUCKING COME AND SAVE HIM CAUSE THEY'RE

Redemption(Cyrus x Acronix part 3)

(Am I too active?I’m writing this the moment I finished writing my other story but then again who doesn’t love an active writer?!)(hope you guys enjoy❤️❤️)

Acronix woke up the next day he was on a beanbag exactly where he was yesterday he looked around and saw Cyrus already awake back on his computer. “What’s the time..?”Acronix asked in a tired voice Cyrus turned his attention to the tired one, “Good morning and it’s…8:30!”Cyrus replied Acronix stared at him surprisingly, “When the fuck did you get up then…it’s so early..”He asked Cyrus as he stretched still sitting on the beanbag wanting to go back to sleep (average morning) “I think I woke up at around…6:15”Cyrus responded staring at his laptop, “please tell I didn’t hear that right but did you say 6:15” Acronix responded which Cyrus nodded in response.

“How and why…?”The previous master of time asked, “I always wake up at that time and I have work to do”Cyrus chuckled out finding the way Acronix reacted cute. He stared at Cyrus before plummeting the back of his head into the beanbag. “I don’t understand the only time I would ever wake up at that time is if my brother forced me to”Acronix didn’t understand how someone could wake up so early. “Are you hungry?”Cyrus asked closing his laptop Acronix nodded he just realised he hasn’t eaten at all yesterday and he was starving. Cyrus made a bowl of noodles (cause apparently they eat noodles for breakfast i searched it up) he handed it to Acronix, “Thanks..”he said to Cyrus who smiled at him.

Cyrus received a phone call and answered it, “Hello? Oh hello Pixal what can I do for you?” Cyrus said over the phone. “Oh you need to come over here with the ninja…umm ok I’ll see you 12? Alright”Cyrus said as he hung up. “Soooo umm…yea the ninja are coming so you’ll probably need to hide they need some things from here” he explained to Acronix which he nodded to as he continued eating. “Thank you for not telling them…”Acronix said earning a sigh from Cyrus, “I told its fine I don’t mind but we have 3 hours till they come so let’s make the most of it”Cyrus chuckled out.

The two began talking about things they like which they had a few things in common like they both loved cats, and both interested in technology Cyrus showed Acronix multiple pieces of technology which stunned the previous master of time, he was really easily impressed by technology. “ Y’know you’re like a kid in a candy store” Cyrus chuckled out hearing this made Acronix blush, “I-I am?” He stuttered out. “Yea your just so happy and interested when I show you different things”Cyrus said. He was really embarrassed how could he be flustered by Cyrus.

After a while it was 11:50, “You should just stay in my room for the time being and honestly I’m sure this will keep you occupied for the time being” Cyrus said as he handed Acronix a borgpad. “Ooooo thanks” Acronix responded. Cyrus waved bye as he left his room looking it.

“Pixal it’s good to see you again and you too ninja I haven’t seen you since well the time twins”Cyrus chuckled out hugging Pixal. “Yea it’s great to see you too Cyrus and this time not in danger”Kai responded. “Follow me and explain what you need I’m sure I have it”Cyrus said as he rolled into his office with the ninja following.

(This chapter might have slight gore I woke up feeling angsty today)

"Y'know you're a really smart guy...but how the fuck do you wear these clothes?!" Enji laughed out before snapping his fingers and his clothes changing from the white shirt, blue jacket and dark green cargo pants into a dark red shirt, a black jacket with red lines across the bottom, black jeans and black boots. "That's way more comfortable~!" Enji said as he stretched. Vinny backed away more causing Enji to sigh and smirk.

"Are you that scared of me~? I feel so offended, I'm your friend~" Enji spoke out dramatically before crouching down to Vinnys' line of eye. "I introduced myself...your turn~" he added as he grabbed the cameramans' cheeks harshly causing him to jerk away. Enji stared at him as if he wanted an answer, "You clearly know who I am..." Vinny said as he looked away, this made Enji chuckle, "You're right...I do, I know more about you that you know of yourself~" the black haired menace spoke, causing Vinny to give him an annoyed look.

"Y'know....if it were up to me~.....I would have killed you already...." Enji hissed out his voice becoming more distorted and him grabbing Vinny by his collar. "But it isn't and frankly you are quite useful!" he added his voice returning back to normal. "Then why isn't up to you...what are you? A dog on a leash for someone?" Vinny hissed causing Enji to punch him in his face. "Fuck! Ouch!" the cameraman hissed as he used his hands to cover where he was punched.

"You're getting quite an attitude and I don't like that...but if you're that curious about who I am voluntarily working with...it's the cape guy you saw last time!" He responded to Vinny who backed down and went back to being quiet. Enji put on a black cape and let out a sigh, "I can't have you telling anyone about me..." He said before grabbing Vinny and throwing him to the floor. "I should put you in your place...."He added his voice slowly becoming more aggravated and violent. Vinny flinched and tried to leave but the door was locked.

Enji smirked before mist filled the room and he turned into an exact copy of Garmadon. "W-what the fuck...?" Vinny whimpered out before stepping away. "Something wrong?" Garmadon Enji said in Garmadons' voice. Vinny tensed, "Y-you're not real...a-and you're not him..." The cameraman whimpered out as he panicked more trying to open the bathroom door. "Are you scared of me...is it because I'm a monster..?" Enji said in disguise before grabbing Vinnys' chin.

"N-no no no no no....s-stop this...stop it!" Vinny panicked out before dropping to his knees. Garmadon/Enji smirked before transforming back, "You're caring so much now....but you clearly don't care about how he feels when you keep secrets~" Enji teased as he dusted himself off, "I-I thought you don't want me t-tell anyone..." Vinny whimpered out.

"You're right....I...I want our little secret to eat you up! To make you feel guilty about not telling anyone and to watch it slowly destroy you and all of the relationships you have with everyone!" Enji said with a sadistic smile on his face, causing Vinny to hide his face, "Awww....don't cry~ Especially when you're hiding your face" The sadistic figure laughed out before lifting up Vinnys' chin.

A blade appeared in Enjis' hand and he made Vinny look directly at him before grabbing the cameramans' hand before slowly digging the blade into it, a bone chilling horrifying scream escaped Vinnys' mouth and he tried to pull his hand away but Enjis' grip was too strong, "S-stop i-it!" Vinny cried out trying to pull away but that made the blade move more. He looked away and winced and screamed in pain. Enji grabbed his cheeks and made him look back at him his eyes now were blue again and he had the same sadistic smile.

"Oh this is so fun~! Don't you think~?!" Enji giggled out before taking he blade out and stabbing him again. "P-please! S-stop!" Vinny cried out letting out a choked sob. "I think we're doing it somewhere a bit too obvious~" He added before taking the blade out and then stabbing his foot causing another pained scream and for him to jerk away. "Don't move~" Enji chuckled out before pushing the blade in further, Vinnys' hands were covered in blood and he was holding his stab hand close, while crying out and screaming in pain for him to stop.

"Oh wow...I bet if I didn't make this room sound proof the whole monastery could have heard you~ And you're so dramatic~!" Enji laughed out before taking out the blade, "You're the one that stabbed me first~" He added trying to make it seem like this was Vinnys' fault. Vinny curled up in a ball as Enji continued to torment him.

(Told you I woke up feeling angsty gonna try and work on another part rn)

Merry Christmas! I hope, you have a great Christmas and get a lot of presents as well as spend time with your loved ones:D

Thank you! And Merry Christmas to you two😊

You go and find your precious cameraman

i've heard multiple people talking about how lego should change Ninjagos' artstyle into monkie kids' artstyle and i honestly don't agree, I'll tell you why. Ninjago has been around for over a decade and has been apart of so many childhoods while Monkie kid has been around for a few years and honestly i love Monkie Kids' artstyle it's fun and creative though you can't expect Lego to change the style of a show that has been around for way way longer

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 74

(I suggest you check out parts 1-73 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

(With Vinny)

The cameraman shivered as he felt the smaller snakes climbed onto him and licked his skin. “Now now…how are you in the palace? I’ve never sssseen you before?” Rushifa spoke as she grabbed a decayed corpse off the ground and tore off its arm before biting into it. Vinny felt like he was gonna be sick, if the smell wasn’t enough seeing that definitely would.

“I-I j-just me and my f-friends-“ Vinny was stuttering like crazy as he held back a gag. He hated it here, he hated everything at the moment…

“Oh you’re even more fun than I thought” Rushifa laughed out sadistically as she allowed a snake crawl up to her ear? Ear holes? Whatever snakes have. Vinny watched as it hissed into her ears, seemingly telling her something. She pulled her veil down before getting really up close with Vinny.

The cameraman was caught off guard by her appearance, she was blind? A scar across her whole face, while her fangs were sharp like daggers, that could pierce through the air. “Your friendssss are coming!” She says to him as her tail squeezes around choking the air out of his lungs while her stinger threatened to pierce his cheek.

“W-what?” Vinny asked worriedly, they couldn’t be here, maybe Willow and Shancai knew how to fight this snake. Rushifa took another bite of the torn arm, her teeth sinking into its rotting flesh before she threw it against the ground allowing the smaller snakes to go after it and satiate their hunger.

“You heard me” She circled around him, “Your ninja friendsss and SSShancai along with that inssssuferable Willow are here! In my domain” She giggled, her voice darkened when talking about Willow, she didn’t seem to like her, “But no worriesss! I’ll deal with them” she hissed, before throwing her veil back on.

“S-Say! We haven’t had proper introductions, w-why don’t we ask some questions about each other?” Vinny asked as he tried to squirm out, but failed miserably due to the tail wrapped tightly.

“Rida wasss right about you, you sssure care about your friendssss” she hissed as she slithered down to a rotting tree stump and sat against it, her tail grip on Vinny loosening ever so slightly, “I suppossse you can ask some questions” she added, as she put her hand up signalling for him to continue, her nails were sharp they were more like claws…

“Uhh r-right…h-how do you know Rida…?” The cameraman hesitantly asked as he took a deep breathe of relief as her grip loosened.

“Me and Rida both dissslike the kingdom, we are not friendsss neither acquaintancesss he asksss for the occasional favour, I decide if I listen or not” Rushifa spoke as she allowed the smaller snakes to climb onto her and wrap around her neck.

“S-so neutral terms?” Vinny asked, receiving a nod from the snake.

“Now I have a question for you” She began, Vinny hesitantly nodded in agreement allowing her to continue. “Why does Rida have his eyess set on you?” She questioned, as she stood up again and circled around him, stopped behind him.

“I…I don’t now…” Vinny sighed before taking a sharp breathe as he felt a sharp claw press against the back on his neck.

“Are you sssure?” She questioned once more as she rested her head on Vinnys’ shoulder while wrapped one hand around his neck.

What the actual fuck was going one? Was all that was going through Vinnys’ mind, he hated being touched like this, “Y-yes…” he shakily responded as he tried to pull away from her touch, knowing very well it was futile. He wanted to kill himself the moment he felt her hand on his thigh…he met some random fucking snake lady in the forest and was now being harassed, who has this happened too before?!

“Don’t be shy” she whispered into his ear, “You were an easy one to convince to come here” she added, as she turned Vinnys’ face to a lifeless body on the ground..the exact body of the servant he spoke to before. Vinny felt disgusted more specifically at himself, why couldn’t stop her? Why was he so weak!?

“L-let me go…” Vinny whimpered out, it wasn’t an order but a plea, he hated being touched like this.

“What would Garamadon think if he found you like thisss?” She asked her voice feigning with mock empathy, Vinnys’ heart ached at the thought of Garmadon, she was right, what would he think? Would he be mad? Disgusted?

He didn’t want anyone else see him like this…he wanted to curl into a ball and die, she chuckled before reached towards the ground and tearing a piece of flesh of a body and pressing is against Vinnys’ mouth, “Eat it” she ordered, Vinnys’ heart dropped and his stomach twisted…he kinda missed Enji right now…

“W-what?” The cameraman managed to whimper our shakily, as he tried pulling his head away from the flesh being pressured to him, surely she must be joking? There was no way he would eat that…or so he thought…

“You heard me, eat it” she repeated her tone harsher as her hand entangled in Vinnys’ head keeping him in place and unable to turn away from the food?

“I-I can’t t-there’s h-how-“ The cameraman began stuttering again, he felt light-headed, where were the others? He couldn’t careless if they saw him like this…he wanted to leave he wanted to be free…

“You will eat it, whether you like it or not” She repeated, as she continued to pressure Vinny. “Eat it…and you and your friendsss may be able to leave somewhat unscathed”

Vinnys’ heart ached hearing that, he wanted to protect them, but what if she was lying? “S-swear?” He asked shakily, “Swear we’ll all leave a-alive? Hardly injured?” He added, desperate for an answer.

“I’ll hardly hurt them…I’ll attack if they attack firssst and have a little fun, but their injuriesss will be none too harsh, but a ssscratch of sssome sortsss” she answered, Vinny let out a shaky breathe as he turned his attention to the piece of flesh in front of him…what it worth it…?

“I-I…” the cameraman stuttered, out a snake hissed something into Rushifas’ ear.

“Time isss ticking, your friendsss are closse” She says to him as she pushes the flesh closer to his mouth, Vinny wanted to vomit, everything here was revolting.

“C-can’t I get s-sick?” He stuttered out.

“We’ll just have to sssee, I’ve done thisss to a certain someone nod she isn’t ill” Rushifa responded as she laughed softly, “Now eat” she hissed harsher than before, the grip of her tail loosened now Vinny was able to move his hands.

Tears welled in Vinnys’ eyes as he shut them tightly before opening his mouth slightly, Rushifa let out a sadistic chuckle before placing it in his mouth. It was disgusting…the coppery taste of the blood mixed with the salty tears of his, he held back a gag, “Chew” she ordered, “And make sure to swallow” she added in a playful tone.

He whimpered as he chewed, he wanted to throw up, he wanted to wash him out out. Eventually Vinny forced himself to swallow, before she fully released him from her tail, he dropped to the ground and sobbed staring at the ground, hoping he didn’t do this for nothing.

A small flicker of hoped burned in his chest as he heard soft muttering of a group of people in the forest and Rushifa noticed it too, staring a Vinny before lifting up his chin, “Best you smile for them” she says to him before planting a kiss on his cheek…that worsened Vinnys’ sickness as he tried rubbing away his tears…no one needed to know what he did…

Rushifa used the smaller snakes to hold Vinny down as she hid in the shadows. He didn’t fight back, he was tired and weak…his eyes widened as he saw Shancai and Willows’ figure followed by the rest of the group, their eyes instantly widened as they saw Vinny as they ran over and tried pulling the snakes away. “Shit! Are you alright?!” Willow asked with worry as she controlled the vines to throw the snakes all away,

“I-I’m fine…” Vinny answered, his voice was hoarse, it was an obvious lie…they all could tell, he was weak and shaky. The cameraman was helped up, everyone looked worried out of their mind, but he was drawn out of his thought, by a demonic echoey laugh, right…Rushifa was still here.

Willows’ eyes widened and she growled in annoyance, she didn’t seem to like Rushifa as much as Rushifa hated her. They all were on guard as they stared around. “She uses the smaller snakes to see us…” Willow spoke to them all, receiving a nod from the others as they drew their swords.

Vinny was surprised…because the moment no one payed attention, Garmadon pulled him as close as possible, Vinny looked up at him, he was so much more worried than the others…his heart ached…

“You made quite a bit of friendsss Willow” Rushifa spoke as she hanged from a tree branch using her tail, the nature elemental was about to attack, but was held back by her brother, “Sssoooo sssnappy”

Rushifa attacked first, hitting Jay with her stinger and falling into Nya’s arms. The rest of the ninja fought back, while Nya stayed with Jay who was slowly using his body function. Willow went over to the two before creating a berry, “Eat it” she spoke as she handed it to him, the lightning ninja did as told and his function was given back.

Vinny was just standing there, Garmadon was just standing in front of him…protecting him…his mind was numb…he couldn’t get rid of the coppery taste in his mouth, but he was drawn out of his thoughts by a loud hiss as Kai slashed his sword against Rushifas’ face tearing the veil and scarring her across her eyes…she was definitely gonna have another scar.

The group watched as the snake retreated into the trees followed by smaller snakes. As they determined she was gone they focused their attention on Vinny. “You sure you’re okay? She didn’t hit you with her stinger?” Shancai questioned.

“Yea…” Vinny responded his voice was monotone and his expression was blank, other than the slightly puffy eyes. The others noticed this, and it seemed to pain Willow the most. Willow began walking one way followed by everyone, he remained quiet he felt like if he spoke he would burst out in tears and throw up.

“Why’d you go here?” Zane asked, everyone looked just as curious.

“Some lying bitch convinced” Vinny grumbled, his tone was filled with hate, everyone seemed surprised by his tone, “I wasn’t going to! But then there were fucking wolves and I had no where else to fucking go!” He hissed, his anger was directed at himself.

“Are you sure you’re alright…?” Lloyd asked as they went back on the path, Willow waited till everyone got out and sealed that part of the forest again.

“I’m fucking fine…” Vinny answered as he walked past them trying to get back into the palace.

“Vinny seriously…what happened?” Nya asked, desperate for a proper answer.

“Nothing fucking happened! Drop it!” He hissed as tears began to well in his eyes again, they were caught off guard by his harsh tone and watched him walk into the palace leaving them jaw dropped.

“Show someone go after him?” Jay asked.

“No…he needs to be alone…” Willow sighed out as she rubbed her temples, the group nodded and slowly dispersed.

Vinny entered his room and fucking ran to the bathroom, he dropped to his knees in front of the toilet and almost immediately threw up, it was so relieving…he felt guilty for snapping at Nya, but they wouldn’t blame him if they found out what he did. He continued to throw up gagging and crying to himself.

Who the hell did he piss off for this to happen?

(I don’t know what Vinny did to deserve me to do this)

After Enji left Vinny was worried out of his mind not wanting to be hurt again, he fidgeted with the blade again carefully stroking is against the table not wanting to scar it. "God damnit...I'm such an idiot..." the cameraman mumbled repeatedly. He sat there for awhile as he continued to eat his sandwich. To his surprise Jay, Kai and Cole came in the kitchen. "Hey Vinny" Jay said as he sat at the table, "Hey..." Vinny replied as he avoided eye contact.

"Whatcha doing?" Kai asked as he grabbed a pack of chips and opened it. "Eating" The cameraman responded as he set the blade on the table, before pretty quickly picking it up again. "Uh huh..." The fire ninja replied as he looked at Cole who was eating cake. Vinny continued to eat his sandwich while looking down at the table he wasn't in a good mood he was tired and paranoid.

The thought of Enji harming him was enough but if he so set a finger on the ones Vinny cared about he was getting another punched. The cameraman couldn't careless about Enji harming him, he just wanted the others to be safe....he wanted Garmadon to be safe. "Stupid Enji, never leaves me alone..." Vinny thought as he continued to look down at the table clutching the blade tightly as he rested his head on his hand. The three ninja noticed how the cameraman was acting and didn't say anything they could tell he wasn't in a normal mood and wanted to what would happen if they didn't interrupt.

"Fucking bastard...I'm gonna kill him..." Vinny mumbled out, the three ninja heard the cameraman mumbling but not what he said. "Umm...is he alright?" Jay whispered to Kai and Cole who shrugged in response. Vinny shut his eyes tightly, "What even is he...?" He mumbled to himself again before getting trapped in a cycle of calling Enji swears and wondering what the fuck he was.

There was silence for 2 minutes as the ninja observed Vinny, "That motherfucker!" Vinny shouted out as he lifted the blade and stabbed the table. "Holy shit..."Jay said out nervously as he sort of moved a little bit away from Vinny. "Hey...umm you okay?" Kai asked the cameraman who jumped slightly forgetting they were here. "O-Oh umm y-yea! I'm fine.." The cameraman responded awkwardly as he took the blade out of the table.

"W-who were you talking about?" Jay asked hesitantly, "Hmm? O-oh! Not any of you, I'm a hundred percent sure you don't even know who he is" Vinny replied as he looked at the table and grimaced, it had a deep cut and the cameraman couldn't stop thinking about how he was stabbed by that. "W-well...you clearly don't like him...is he from somewhere?" Cole asked as he looked at the table as well. "H-He's just from my work..." Vinny lied as he got up and put the sheath on the blade before shoving it in his pocket.

The group looked at him worriedly but believed him, "Alright well...you can talk to us about it" Kai said earning a nod from Vinny, who grabbed the remainder of his sandwich and left leaving three very confused ninjas wondering if they should tell someone about this.

As Vinny walked out he fidgeted with the knife, because it was sort of relaxing. "How can I talk to someone about this...?" The cameraman thought before being stopped by Wu. "Ah, Vinny I've been meaning to talk to you about a few things" Wu said out once he gained Vinnys' attention. "Y-You have?" The cameraman asked nervously.

Wu nodded and lead Vinny to the library to talk about things.

As Vinny got up from his bed, he reached for the dagger on the bedside table, he cursed to himself realising he left it in the bathroom.

It was too early for this, but he got a decent sleep at night. As he went over to the mirror he noticed the window was slightly open…when did that happen? Never mind, maybe that’s what pushed the jacket onto his bed.

He rubbed his temples as he groaned to himself, as sat back on the edge of the bed about to lay down…the air thickened in the room as his heart quickened.

“Morning buddy~” a familiar voice whispered into the cameramans’ ear as a head rested on his shoulder. Vinny cursed to himself once more as he reluctantly turned his head around

Enji…just what he needed, must’ve jinxed himself before. Except Vinny was a little surprised to see the menace not wearing his normal attire and certainly didn’t look the same.

He looked just as tired as Vinny, droopy eyes, wearing a dark grey compression shirt and loose black shorts. His hair was out, some of it draping over his shoulder.

“What do you want?” The cameraman spoke, malice evident in his voice.

“What do I want?” Enji replied, chuckling softly, “Must I have a want? Can’t I pay a visit? After all I didn’t see you yesterday” he continued as he leaned back onto the bed, resting against the backboard.

Vinny rolled his eyes and grumbled in annoyance as the menace relaxed. “Get your feet off” he spoke, it sounded more like a request than an order. He was still scared of Enji after all.

“Nope” Enji teased, “Now then…what’s with covering the mirrors?” He asked the cameraman causing his breathe to hitch.

“I just don’t like mirrors…” Vinny replied plainly, it was partially the truth. “Now answer my question…why are you here? You clearly didn’t plan for this based on how you look” he added as he stood up from the bed, distancing himself from the menace.

Enji rolled his eyes and chuckled, “I was planning on do this tomorrow, buuuuut Rida wanted to be extra safe so I’m doing it now”

“That answers on thing” The cameraman sighed as he looked in the dresser mirror. “And what do you need to be extra safe of?” He questioned once more.

“A few things…and as for the reason I’m here…” Enji spoke, Vinny shivered and looked at the ground as he was hit by something cold, not quite wind though…he looked back at the mirror, his heart aching. “I need a favour….” He continued as he was now in the mirror, those eyes staring directly into the cameramans’.

Vinny hardly processed what was said to him as he was caught off guard by Enji going into the mirror, “A-a favour?” He managed to stutter out as his mind finally processed the words.

“Yep~! Nothing too big” Enji replied with a devilish smile as his hand reached from in the mirror and he grabbed Vinnys’ cheeks harshly. The cameraman sucked his teeth, but kept his mouth shut. Anything could piss off Enji, and he clearly wanted to get over and done with this quickly.

“What is it…?” Vinny grumbled, he wanted to get rid of Enji so badly, but he needed to know what the favour is.

“You need to help me get that key~!” Enji replied as he released Vinnys’ cheeks.

“The key…? Y-you can’t actually believe I’ll help you get it?” The cameraman replied as he stroked a hand through his hand and put his other hand on his hip.

“I don’t need to believe…because you’re helping me whether you like it or not” Enji threatened as he climbed out of the mirror and sat on the mirror stand.

“C-can’t you get it yourself? You’ve managed to sneak in here multiple times!” Vinny replied, anxiety creeping up his back.

“If it was that simple I would’ve done so already!” Enji hissed before taking a deep breath, “Now all you need to do is get me down to that god forsaken place…that stupid elevator has some recognition thing and my illusions aren’t working” he sighed, annoyance evident on his face,

Vinny rolled his eyes, “What if I don’t?” He asked, wanting to see how far he could push this.

The menace grumbled, “If you don’t fucking listen then I’ll take your friends one by one and gouge their eyes while you watch” he threatened, he really wanted to get this over and done with.

Vinnys’ breathe hitched as his hands trembled, he clenched his fists and took a deep breathe, “Can’t you…just make a copy of the key…?” He asked hesitantly.

“That key is special, because it’s magical now hurry up before someone wakes up” Enji replied impatiently, he was more pushy than usual.

“Anything’s better than him hurting them” the cameraman thought before he reluctantly nodded to Enji.

Enji gave him a sinister smile before jumping off the mirror stand, “Lead the way my friend” he teased as he bowed down.

Vinny grumbled to himself, “Wait…I need to get something…” he spoke as he went to the bathroom and came back with the dagger.

“I see you enjoy the dagger” Enji spoke, but the cameraman ignored and walked out of the room, he was followed by the other man who closed the door behind him.

(I suggest you check out parts 1-78 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

The walk to the markets wasn’t anything extraordinary, the two didn’t talk much, Shancai just led Vinny to the markets silently. The cameraman didn’t mind either he was still embarrassed about what happened before and was a little giddy, the kiss reassured him a lot.

Vinny was drawn out of his thoughts, when he accidentally bumped into Shancai who stopped walking. “Sorry” the cameraman apologised as he looked up at the prince, he was just given a reassuring nod.

“We’re here” Shancai spoke, causing Vinny to look out in front, he must’ve been lost in thought to not have noticed the conversations, smell of food and bright lights that tainted the markets. For one thing, the cameraman realised how fucking hungry he was.

“Cool” Vinny spoke, as his eyes practically shone, he seemed to really like this place.

“It is” The prince spoke, “Stay close” he added, as he entered the crowd, the cameraman following close behind. It was almost impossible not to bump into someone due to how busy it was, but it was fairly easy finding Shancai, he towered over the crowd.

As they made it through the crowd, Vinnys’ stomach grumbled, why was he hungry now of all times? Deity was right, he should’ve eaten.

His eyes widened as he smelt a sweet scent, which caught his attention as he turned towards it, he couldn’t really quite tell what it was, it looked like a donut, but not at the same time, either way it looked delicious.

Vinny was caught off guard by Shancai’s voice, “If you’re hungry we can get you something” The prince spoke, as he looked at the cameraman.

“O-oh I’m not” Vinny lied as he smiled at him softly, it felt a little rude to ask for food, Shancai just made a ‘are you serious?’ expression, not buying into the act. “Ok ok…maybe I am a little…” the cameraman confessed, “But I can eat back at the palace…I don’t have any money so-“ he was cut off.

“I’m a prince…money isn’t a problem” Shancai spoke, “And patrol here isn’t anything interesting, best you indulge in your needs” the prince sighed.

“A-are you sure?” The cameraman hesitantly asked, receiving a confirming nod.

“What do you want to eat?” Shancai asked, Vinny awkwardly pointed to that stall with the nice smell. The prince nodded and walked over there with Vinny. “How much you want?”

“O-one?” The cameraman spoke, Shancai nodded and just spoke to the stall owner and our a bunch of coins in the owners’ hand. The prince handed it to Vinny, who shyly took a bite, man it was good.

“Fuck that’s good…” The cameraman sighed, it was so warm and perfectly sweet.

“Willow likes them a lot…I don’t even know what it is” Shancai answered as they kept walking.

“I thought it was a donut at first” Vinny spoke, causing the prince to look at him curiously. “What?”

“What the fuck is a donut?” The prince asked, with genuine curiosity.

“You don’t have donuts here?” The cameraman asked surprisingly.

“I don’t think so, I’ve never heard it before” Shancai spoke, as he turned his head curiously.

“I feel like it would be too sweet for you, it’s like a deep fried pastry” Vinny answered, as he happily bit the food.

“Strange” The prince spoke, there was an awkward silence for a while, before Vinny slowly noticed stares, it wasn’t too him, but to Shancai, this must be what Willow meant about people not liking his appearance. Shancai seemed unfazed or used to this.

“People don’t like you?” The cameraman hesitantly asked.

“They don’t like how I look, or the fact I don’t do magic” The prince bluntly answered, receiving a soft nod from Vinny. The awkward silence appeared again, only laughter and conversations from others around them was heard. “Can we stop somewhere?” The prince asked.

“We can go anywhere you like, I’m just tagging along” The cameraman answered, Shancai nodded and continued walking till they went down an alley sort of way, it was more secluded and quieter. “Where we going?” Vinny spoke up.

“I need to give some people stuff” Shancai spoke, as they entered a darker area, it wasn’t as nice as the upper kingdoms, probably the slums. Four kids ran out and hugged Shancais’ legs. “Hello to you too” the prince sighed, he couldn’t hide the happiness in his voice.

“Who’s this?” A young boy, with short messy hair and a missing tooth spoke, as he pointed to Vinny.

“He’s a guest at the palace, him and his friends accidentally ended up here” Shancai answered.

“What’s your name?” A young girl with curly brown hair and dark skin asked Vinny, she seemed shy.

“I’m Vinny” the cameraman answered, his expression and voice softening as he smiled softly.

“Where’s your parents?” Shancai asked, the kids pointed to a house. “I’ll be back” the prince spoke to Vinny who nodded and watched Shancai walk off to the house.

“You’re pretty” a girl with green eyes and black hair said to Vinny, the cameraman seemed surprised by this compliment.

“T-thank you?” Vinny spoke awkwardly.

“Are you friends with Shanni?” A different boy with blonde hair and blue eyes asked.

“I-I think? Maybe?” The cameraman answered, the kids were about to ask another question before Shancai came back.

“Are you leaving already?” The girl with black hair whined.

“The market’s are extra busy today, who knows what’ll happen” The prince spoke, before giving the kids some coins. “I’ll come back soon I swear”

“You’ll bring him too?” The blonde boy asked as he pointed to Vinny.

“Maybe, I need to get him home first” Shancai spoke, before standing up straight, Vinny was trying to process what was happening. “Let’s go” he spoke to Vinny, receiving a nod.

The two began to walk off, the kids waving bye. “Who are they?” The cameraman questioned the prince, the moment they were out of hearing range.

“Just some kids, they live in a poorer area, I try my best to give what I can” Shancai answered.

“That’s nice of you” Vinny spoke, “They like you a lot” the cameraman added.

“They do…they also seem to have taken a liking for you” Shancai answered.

“Yea…” Vinny sighed, it was quiet as they went back to the markets. They both sat on a rock, “What now?”

“Nothing much, just wait for something to happen, I usually walk, but best you rest your legs” The prince answered.

“It’s nice here…” Vinny confessed as he laid down on the rock.

“It is…” Shancai replied, as he watched Vinny lay down.

“Your mum’s nice…” the cameraman spoke up, catching the princes’ attention, receiving a soft hum of acknowledgment. The silence was short lived as there was a series of scream which instantly caused Vinny to sit up while the prince stood up and looked around. “What’s happening?” The cameraman questioned.

“Not sure” Shancai answered, as he summoned his spear again, “You coming?” He asked, receiving a nod from Vinny as he stood up. The two ran to the sound of the chaos, the prince groaned in annoyance as he saw a heart painted to a rock.

“What’s wrong?” Vinny asked curiously.

“It’s Enji” Shancai confessed, causing Vinnys’ heart to drop, he did not want to see Enji…at least he wasn’t alone…

“Shanni! Baby! It’s been a while since we last saw each other!” A familiar playful voice called out, catching the twos’ attention as they stared up a ledge, surely enough Enji was standing there, twirling a new dagger between his fingers. Vinny was a little curious at Enjis’ nickname for the prince, but that was the least of his worries.
