《sander sides oneshots [slow updates]》scientific rambles [analogical]
Advertisement
virgil stared at his tutor as he rambled on about some scientist that invented something. he couldn't seem to focus on the words, just the way he fidgets slightly while talking, or the way he pushes his slightly long hair back everytime it falls out of place, or maybe it's every little thing about him. "oh. i apologise for rambling but it seems that our time is up for today."
virgil frowned slightly, realizing he learned nothing the whole time. "oh," virgil began to put his stuff away.
"i never got to ask, are you getting better grades? or do you still need some help?" virgil thought for a moment, should he lie?
"i still kinda need help." he said, smiling sheepishly at logan and scratching the back of his neck. logan smiled back at him.
"okay. do you think we should maybe see each other more often?" virgil felt his stomach fill with butterflies at the thought of being with logan more. at the thought him being with logan.
"yeah! uh, that um sounds cool." virgil felt his face heat up. "j-just text me about the details when you can!"
"okay, sounds great. see you soon, virge." logan smiled then turned away, walking out of the library.
virgil watched him as he walked out. the only thing he could hear was his heart pounding in his chest. he felt jittery, happy, in love. it felt like bliss, and as much as he wanted to be hopeful, there is only one thing holding him back from asking logan out. what if logan doesn't like him back? at most, he likes him as a friend though virgil doubts he likes him that much.
doubt filled his mind. he deflated and slumped in his chair. how could logan like someone like him? someone so lovely, so beautiful, so perfect like someone like him? someone who isn't put together, who doesn't try, who is him? it could never happen. he knows this. but that doesn't stop his heart from hoping someday that virgil could be with logan. even for just a day.

virgil began to slowly pack everything up. there was a no rush anyways. the walk back to his dorm was quick and as soon as he got back he went into his room and screaming into his pillow. connecting his music to his bluetooth speakers and blasting the music.
soon his roommate, roman, came home with his girlfriend. roman sighed, already knowing what was up with virgil. "keep the music down, please!" he shouted through the door.
the music abruptly stopped and roman awaited to hear what virgil had to say. "he is so flipping perfect!" virgil shouted. "and now we're starting more sessions because i can't pay attention when he rambles and just ah!"
valarie giggled a little. "should we help him?" she asked roman, interlocking their hands. "you are literally the romance god."
"i suppose," roman and valarie then sat down to form a plan. the two then sat there for hours coming up with ways to find out what logan likes, if he likes anyone ect. they decided that one tutoring session virgil will have him come to his dorm and do it there. from then on, virgil will get pulled away by valarie so roman can basically interrogate logan. truth be told, val and roman already knew logan liked virgil. the two were basically soulmates.
it was a little after they finished talking when logan finally texted virgil.
lo: hello, sorry for taking so long to text you, my friend needed me. when do you think the extra sessions would be good for you?
you: anytime, i dont have a life lol
lo: yes you do, if you didn't then we wouldn't have those sessions and you wouldn't be in college.
you: i meant social life
lo: well, if that were true you wouldn't be texting me right now.

you: sigh
lo: so what about monday and wednesday?
you: sounds great.
lo: great.
lo: look i know i'm just your tutor but i would like to hang out sometime, from all i know of you, you're really nice and i would love to hang out sometime.
virgil felt his stomach do somersaults and his chest flutter. logan wants to hang out with him. logan wants to hang out with him.
you: that sounds fun
you: again, have no life so im free whenever you are.
lo: well, the fair is coming up this weekend, we could possibly go there.
you: i've never been to the fair before
lo: really? we have to go then! it is so much fun.
you: whatever you say.
lo: i mean it. it is to die for.
the conversation continued for a while until logan went to get ready for bed, you know, like a responsible person. if only virgil could relate.
wednesday came around quick. virgil asked if logan could come over to his dorm and logan agreed immediately. when logan got there, they immediately got to working. every once and a while virgil would slip out of his mind and just admire logan but roman would get him out of the trance, not wanting to hear virgil complain more. "virge!" valerie whined, "roman is too stupid to help me out, please help!"
"im sorry, do you mind if i go help her?" logan shook his head and virgil went to go help valerie, giving roman the perfect change to slip in and ask logan some questions. "so, are you and virge friends? or..?"
"oh, um. well we never established that we were friends but i would like to assume that he thinks of me as a friend as i do him." logan answered, looking back at roman.
"i think he thinks that, he talks about you a lot. all good things, i promise."
logan blushed, "really?" roman nodded. "well what does he say?"
"why do you need to know?" roman smirked at how flustered logan was already, "do you like him? maybe you wanna see if he likes you back." roman winked.
"what- i. no!" roman just smirked. "your secret is safe with me. i won't tell him, but it wouldn't hurt if you tell him." logan just stared at roman, mouth slightly agape at his words. did he just admit to a random stranger that he likes the person he is tutoring?
"val, look, i'll help later. you can wait." logan heard virgil say. he quickly recomposed himself as virgil walked in. "if you really need help call someone! my grade is more important than your problem." he said and walked back to the table that he was working at. "sorry about that." virgil sat down, "where were we?"
logan felt his throat dry up. "uh.." roman cleared his throat as to tell logan to tell virgil. "i forget, to be honest. but um. i was wondering if you would like to turn our "hanging out" into a date?"
this caught virgil off guard. "wait really?"
the author now doesn't know how to continue this but it would be cute n fluffy except my last brain cell is doing the macarena so i cant write that right now.

Luck Lockyer
Luck Lockyer was the type of man to smirk in the dark, the expression not for anyone but himself. One of perpetual amusement. The bright side of things were hard to find in the shade yet his amber eyes were always searching. The smirk was his default, he knew it, his friends knew it, his family knew it. It was his most natural state. But the death of everyone close to you can affect a downwards curve on the mouths of even the most stoic people. Without purpose, without anyone to do the job for, Luck Lockyer found himself inside an empty forgotten church. The perpetual smirk on his face had slipped to a thin line, his scar more noticeable now than ever before. His amber eyes, the windows to his soul, dull and lifeless. To anyone who knew him, it was the clothing that gave away his mental state, denim pants and a plain black t-shirt. If that wasn't enough, the tears running down his face certainly would, the echoing sobs of a broken man rang across the rundown church. It was on a whim, but Luck Lockyer prayed, he prayed for many things, for death, revenge, friends, but the one prayer dominating his thoughts, a second chance for his family. That was all he wanted. Simple. It was then, on the outskirts of a polluted city, in an abondoned lot, in a forgotten church that Luck Lockyer, the Devil of the Cards, the Bloodless Hand, the Amber Demon, the Broken, was answered by a being from another world and one from his. *found the picture online

When hell freezes over
An ancient seal has been broken and a forgotten power returns to the world gradually, upsetting the balance of normality. People used to say "I'll do that when hell freezes over" jokingly, but now that saying holds more weight in a changing world where people have to get used to the unusual. Ancient creatures hidden in the earth stir from their slumber of centuries, and humanity is not prepared for their ancient powers. Can the human race of steel and fire stand against the creatures created by the most ancient of powers? Is the human race pure enough to band together and form a closed fist as they did centuries ago? Find out in this adventure where Jacob starts off on his way on a normal day towards his job. "I get the feeling this story might be one of those 'diamonds in the rough'. The premise is quite solid, there's plenty of room to flesh out the characters. It's quite easy to get into and be engaged by at the moment, imo. I don't know where the story will go from here, but it's off to a good start me thinks." - Xenower Attribution: The cave picture in the book cover is made by Stanislav Sedov and is licensed under CC-BY-SA-2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ This picture was modified from the original with an overlaid moon and sea picture to be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/ssedov/26342569905 The photographer has no affiliation to Tschallacka nor can be held accountable for the use of this picture the way as it is here.
