《Friendly Sex {{ GeorgeNotFound }}》TWENTY ONE: irl

It's crazy how one tweet could put pressure on your brain, how 250 characters could take a great day out with friends and turn it into a jailed mind that held every dumb and mean comment on her timeline, showing her them in succession, chained to the walls of her own subconscious.
It hadn't been a quick drop. She'd been playing with the idea in her head that it was all luck, imposter syndrome setting its roots in the forest of her mind.
She needed somebody to come in and cut it down, take an axe to the base and watch it fall, hear the sound as the witness and drag it away for firewood. Make sure to pull out every root and trace of evidence left behind, to leave a clear opening in its path, ready for sunny days and clean air.
Maybe George would be that person, maybe she needed him to be.
A deep breath brought her back to the present, George's hand grasping hers as they reached his front door, pulling out his key and unlocking all three locks, closing the door behind them.
Quietly they strips their shoes and jackets, George didn't even quip his usual joke as they ascended the stairs.
It was a foreign feeling to the pairing, they'd gotten so used to chatting back and forth in a rhythmic beat that the static silence was deafening to them.
Trapped in their own mind, unable to communicate in any other way.
They sat apart, a seat cushion in between them, fingers tapping on thighs in anticipation.
This wasn't what either of them had expected when getting in the Uber together, by now they should be stripping clothes and connecting in ways only they could.
But they weren't, they were flinching away from each other.

And she was tired of it.
Astrid sat up slowly, crawling across the couch, her knees placed on either side of his as she straddled his lap, hands dancing along his neck and collar bone, lips teasing his.
"Astrid" he spoke in a low breath, hands grasping her waist as she moved her hips methodically, "wait-" she swallowed his words in a kiss before he pulled away again, "wait we should talk about-" again she captured his mouth, not wanting to hear the words coming from him, he kissed her back - their lips moving together like waves in the sea, swaying so hard it made her head fuzzy.
"Astrid wait-"
"What?" She asked, breath heavy as she looked between his eyes, his furrowed eyebrows as he stared back into hers.
"We need to talk," he stroked her arm lightly, hand caressing her lower back, "you're clearly upset"
"I'm not-"
"You are, and that's alright" he lowered his head to catch her eyes, despite how she tried to get away from him, "we don't need to do anything, we can just sit"
She could cry.
In past relationships, nobody had ever thought of her, how her emotions could change the mood. If she was in the mood now, even if only an hour earlier she was.
"Okay" her head fell to his chest, arms wrapping around him, moving sideways to sit more comfortable as George pulled a cover over them, switching on his tele to a random channel for background noise.
He spent the next few hours calming her mind, like every word he spoke echoed across her brain in waves that calmed every shiver she had.
His hand caresses her skin lightly, pulling her closer just to feel her, closer than any friend with benefits should ever be.
But they were different, and they both felt it.
Their dynamic had shifted but they wanted the same rules as before.
But you can't always get what you want.

Rise of the Human Emperor
The Gods and Goddesses felt dissatisfied with the development of the mortals, and thus they decided to create a game. Animals mutated, and fantasy-like monsters invaded the world. Humans thought they were forsaken by the Gods. However, hope came after discovering that anyone that killed a mutated animal or monsters would awaken an internal energy called 'Mana'. Miraculous abilities such as the manipulation of elements, moving objects with the mind, and more super-human abilities appeared one after another. But... Would the humans truly survive the trials, be them internal or external? Would the terrors that come from their mutated planet, and beings that come from the vast sea of stars have mercy on them? Or would they fight till one side is exterminated? Would the Humans rise through the endless chaos, or succumb to the darkness of death? A sick game for entertainment of the Gods, and survival of the humans. This is the Rise of the Human Emperor. Disclaimer: The cover's drawing do not belong to me, it was edited by a good friend. If its owner wants me to remove it, then I will do so.

The Boy With Rabies
It was supposed to be a normal day for 17-year-old Theodore "Theo" Williams. He was an animal-loving teenager. One day, he was in the woods when he saw a raccoon. It approached him and he thought it wanted to be pet. When it bit him, little did he know that the bite will soon have him fighting for his life. DISCLAIMER: I got this idea based on a documentary I watched a few years ago. I apologize if any information is not accurate. I tried to use the stuff I remembered from the documentary. This story is also on my WattPad account: @SparklingSnazzer Update: I did go back and edit some more so I hope it looks a bit better now. :)

Playing around with friends, going to school, and going on trips with his parents every once in a while. But life had other plans for his future than letting him grow like any normal teenager. At a young age his parents were killed, his friends slaughtered and family stolen. This had broken Julian completely, and hence he left on a journey to find strength to seek his revenge. But life was not yet done playing with his life, so it showed Julian that he had no talent to do anything that would lt him gain his revenge. It had become clear to Julian that the heavens did not favor him, so he left on one last journey when… ***** Ahhh I don't really know what else to add but ill write it here anyway, this is my first time writing a story, so I am still experimenting with things, so it is possible that you might find the beginning of the story to be a bit slow, but I assure you the later chapters and things I have in plan will not disappoint you. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I have taken inspiration from waaaay tooo many novels that I liked, and while there aren't any specific ones that I based this upon there are a few that I definitely took inspiration from like : the author's POV, chronicles of the heavenly demon [you can probably see where this inspired me ;)], etc.
