convo inspired by this (x) sweet post by @onemuseleft because I misread when i saw the start and thought it said Shen Wei’s evil exes at first, and my brain spiraled and anyway the resulting hot mess concept me & @humanlighthouse thought of is copy pasted below, featuring Obvious Ex choices Lao Chu and Da Qing ToT:

o3o ohhh who in Hell are Shen Wei's evil exes

mejomonster: i imagine a crack story where Shen Wei *did not actually* date some ppl but they crushed so hard they acted like he did (or he didn’t even know it was a date since his only experience was Kunlun lol), and then some Actual first dates he tried but failed at cause u know. he didn't really want anyone but Kunlun

like one of his students is one, Ye Zun is still there cause he’s a petty pissed twin brother, some Black Cloak Envoy fan (Possibly Lao Chu but he'd never admit it until the 'exes' have a meeting and HE’S THERE)

humanlighthouse: Ohyaeeeessss LAO CHU IM SCREAMING

mejomonster: YOU KNOW lao chu WOULD have a CRUSH

Black Cloak Envoy PERSONALLY pardoned him from death, saved his life, and made him his personal spy in SID

Lao Chu gets on his knees for BCE in like the first few eps? he def had at least a low key crush

humanlighthouse: Of course he does

mejomonster: imagine at some point in the years he's been working for the envoy, he like tried to reach out and kiss Shen Wei thinking it was a romantic moment they both understood

humanlighthouse: Ohnoooo xD

mejomonster: and then Black Cloak Envoy was like !!!! o-o !~!!!!! and jolted backward and Lao Chu and him tripped and fell in a bush, then Lao Chu said sorry!! and Shen Wei was like “No don’t mention it lets just. Never talk about this again! :)”

humanlighthouse: Ohmygod the AWKWARDNESS

mejomonster: He straightens up his black cloak and mask and turns away to hide the embarrassment then like. only talks to Lao Chu through letters for 3 months

humanlighthouse: He would ToT

mejomonster: i could get more crack

humanlighthouse: PLEASE do i love your ideas

mejomonster: Shen Wei’s on earth circa idk 6 years doing grad school or something Zhao Yunlan is like idk 5 years old or something wait oops no - Zhao Yunlan is like 18 (still baby face). or he’s 10 but Shen Wei hasn’t even applied for college yet YEAH ok

so Zhao Yunlan’s a kid, Shen Wei is living on earth or TRYING - he keeps taking weird jobs cause apparently he needs 'money' but he has no 'identification card' whatever the fuck that means

humanlighthouse: Shen Wei vs Human bureaucracy needs to be a fic in itself lol

mejomonster: thankfully he’s super smart so any job he can learn to do in a day. so he’s like. job hopping or considering 'oh so a degree = more money... maybe I should get one.' and he meets Da Qing - who as we know looks the same from 10k years ago.

Shen Wei double takes, seeing DA QING just like in the street at a food store one day. Maybe Shen Wei’s working as a cook or something

Shen Wei in his very obsessive kinda ways, keeps seeing Da Qing regularly, starts learning his habits

humanlighthouse: A fried dough stall like Huo Daofu xD

mejomonster: as they happen to cross paths. Realizes he may not need to avoid Da Qing since the dude doesn’t recognize him. of course Shen Wei KNOWS he’s a Yashou. or at least a doppelganger/descendant of one

eventually Shen Wei gets the nerve to go up and talk to him - a FAMILIAR FUCKING FACE WHO MIGHT KNOW ABOUT KUNLUN

SOMEONE TO GRIEVE WITH! Someone to maybe know where he went! etc

Shen Wei goes up and Da Qing thinks he’s flirting.

mejomonster: Especially because Shen Wei's like “you look familiar have i seen you somewhere before? :) maybe we crossed paths? :)" and "so what do you do for - um work?" and "so you sure are - cool - do you want to maybe hang out, maybe you know some -cool - places?' (Shen Wei trying to find out if Kunlun is still alive and in contact with Da Qing)

humanlighthouse: Oh NO

mejomonster: anyway long story short they go on some dates, may even flirt without Shen Wei knowing wtf is going on (Shen Wei’s doing it half on accident - this bitch never dated! hedoesn'tt KNOW) like once they're at a bar and dance together because Shen Wei hopes he'll MENTION some FRIENDS, and Da Qing’s like “nah its just us tonight!~” then hugs Shen Wei

and Shen Wei just pets him, and Da Qing LOVES that, so they cuddle half the night - Shen Wei thinks he’s treating a cat nice! he thinks its normal!

humanlighthouse: Omgggg

mejomonster: at some point Da Qing thinks they're dating, (has only ever mentioned sometimes “ah I gotta head home, gotta babysit :/” and Shen Wei’s like "you have kids???” and Da Qing’s like “nah its a friends kid,” and Shen Wei has NO idea Kunlun’s like 1 personal contact away)

after several 'cuddle overnight' sessions, which Shen Wei thinks is totally normal with a Yashou cat - although he’s a bit worried this cat will find out his secret identity - Da Qing is like “so should we get more serious?”

during the same convo Shen Wei’s like “maybe we should hang out at my house less.”

and Da Qing’s like “wait are you BREAKING up with me? i thought what we had was GOOD?”

humanlighthouse: AHAHAH

mejomonster: Shen Wei: “breaking. up? what? I don't ? i just mean uh I'm getting into school and i wont be uh. as uh. ready to uh. entertain at home...”

Shen Wei: “we can still see each other though!”

Da Qing: “oh uvu ok. well uh. anyway like I was saying I think we should take our relationship to the next level”

humanlighthouse: Ohno Shen Wei you accidental slut

mejomonster: and like after a week of Da Qing trying to ramp it up and Shen Wei obliviously agreeing but having no idea wtf is going on, he braves himself and asks some coworkers, the only humans he knows, and they're shocked he’s talking - and of THIS of all things

They’re like “what are u a virgin? are u aware ur DATING a dude???”

humanlighthouse: OHNO

mejomonster: Shen Wei: “yes, we plan dates to meet up. why is that a big deal?”

coworker: “do you. know what dating is?”

humanlighthouse: No he does not ToT

mejomonster: and Shen Wei realizes he MIGHT accidentally have gotten into a relationship with Da Qing. still has NO idea wtf a relationship IS or what dating IS or if this means Da Qing is gonna try to stick a lollipop in his mouth

humanlighthouse: xDDD

mejomonster: all he KNOWS is that if Da Qing wants to 'get closer' the cat might find out he’s Hei Pao Shi, and Shen Wei isn't ready to spill that secret. cause by some miracle Da Qing hasn’t recognized him (and Shen Wei suspects he might full on have amnesia or REALLY be avoiding mentioning dixingren, cause the dude talks like a 'human' around Shen Wei and NEVER mentions those topics)

mejomonster: eventually Shen Wei awkwardly breaks up as Da Qing’s about to kiss him because he has NO idea what's going on, but he knows he still remembers the taste of the candy Kunlun gave him, and if Da Qing and his recently dessert-eaten mouth touch Shen Wei then he might forget, just a little bit, and NOPE

also. he might cry because Da Qing reminds him of Kunlun :c since he looks like Kunlun’s old servant. and Shen Wei is grieving again

and Da Qing is very confused

humanlighthouse: Ohnooooo why did this turn sad suddenly

mejomonster: several months later though, once Shen Wei’s started college and is observing peers to figure out wtf dating even IS - he decides maybe he SHOULD try it sometime. since Kunlun is probably actually dead. since even with Da Qing somehow still around, Kunlun isn’t :c. and Da Qing is probably just a forlorn survivor like Shen Wei.

this time Shen Wei does consider actually dating Da Qing for real for a short while.

much later, when Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan meet by the time of the drama, either Da Qing has amnesia again and forgot dating Shen Wei OR him and Shen Wei just both do not say shit about knowing each other prior cause oops awkward

mejomonster: sure would be awkward to tell ur practical kid that the guy he has a crush on, u happened to date already, and already know the dude doesn’t age, and are just trying to mind ur own business as ur 'kid' Zhao Yunlan lusts annoyingly at the suspicious professor. meanwhile u think 'huh i always wondered why we got along, he probably is a dixingren now that u mention it'

humanlighthouse: whichever way you go at it it's awkward lol

mejomonster: uvu i dont know who else would be Shen Wei's 'exes' but i think these scenarios would be pretty funny >3>

#@humanlighthouse #shen wei #guardian #lao chu #da qing #sorry dudes!#lao chu x shen wei #da qing x shen wei #writing #ToT i don't know who to tag which of my mutuals are still into guardiannnnn #anyway enjoy this crack idea

“Trust me, it isn’t just for the camera.”

Genre: fluff, babey !! nothin like a good ol idol au, am I rite, laid ease??

Warnings: bad words (like everything else I've written ever lol)

Pairing: Taeyong X female idol reader

A/N: junior year is almost over, thank god. I am so tired. writing this was such a good break from studying for my ap exams and cramming for finals. thank u, Taeyong. also, im working on something for the superhuman comeback, stay tuned, yall :)

you had been a model for sm for a few years now

well within your first year you had gained so much popularity that you became the company’s most hired model and had received a nickname from your employers and fans

you were their Golden Girl (hhhhhffk listen,,, we been knew I ain’t creative), and everyone was dying to work with their Golden Girl

most notable for your bubbly personality and striking looks, every employer was fascinated by your ability to pull off any look

very similar is lee Taeyong, another artist signed to your company

with his stark beauty, it was no understatement to say that you would not have minded working with someone as pretty as him

so, when your manager told you about an upcoming project where you’d be working with Taeyong and a few of the other nct boys you were #sh00k to say the least

“wait..... WHAT?!” was all you could say in response to your manager telling you the good news

“Yeah, I know. I know how long you’ve wanted to work with him. Well, get ready. For this photoshoot they need you to have bubblegum pink hair, and.....”

for the next few days, you tried to mentally prepare yourself for what was about to happen

yeah, you guys were signed to the same company but that doesn't mean you saw him all the time

you had only seen him once, and that was when you had just become a trainee and were walking through the halls to try and find the recording studio on the third floor

you accidentally went into the dance studio and found yourself interrupting a dance practice for nct u

“Sorry, I have to find someone in the recording studio, where-”

“You’re fine, don't worry about it! If you go out this hallway, make the next left turn and it should be the second door on the right,” Taeyong said, giving you a small smile

that was the ONLY interaction you had with him, but boy even when covered in sweat was he gorgeous

and you got to WORK WITH THAT

the day finally came where you got to work with him yayayay

you woke up at 4 am after having only 1 hour of sleep, thriving

you got up and took a quick shower, did your skincare routine, and changed into comfy clothes for the day

on your way to meeting your manager you grabbed a few coffees for the staff as a thank you for the opportunity

you met your manager at the company building and it started to hit that

//ohmygod this is really about to happen//

your manager tried her best to calm your nerves but damn, you were not having any of that

scrolling through Instagram, you anxiously awaited the company van that would take you to the photoshoot set

when it pulled up after about twenty minutes of waiting, you and your crew piled in and then you heard your manager tell the driver to hold the van for a few more minutes, seeing as Taeyong and his people were running a little behind

that only made your heart beat even faster

hgjaonfnwnw anxious from waiting, you just wanted to get it over with and rip it off like a bandaid

five minutes later, you saw three people walking over to the van

one of which was wearing sweats, sneakers, a hoodie, and a mask

you automatically recognized who that was despite the baggy clothing and half hidden face

oh fuck oh shit

one of the other two men talked to your manager, who had gotten out to speak to taeyong’s manager and the other person there

Taeyong climbed into the van and made eye contact with you in the back row, spotting the empty seat beside you

“Is this seat taken?” he asked, nodding to the spot right next to you

you felt a blush creep into your cheeks and your throat started getting closed up from nerves

so all you could do was shake your head no

he sat down and gave you a small smile, then started yawning and stretching out his arms

you had one extra coffee left from earlier and you figured it’d be a great ice breaker maybe

“I have an extra coffee from a coffee run I went on earlier, do you want it? It’s not super hot or anything, but its still a little warm, and its caffeine,” you said and his eyes immediately lit up

“Oh, yes please!!”

you grabbed the last cup from the drink carrier and gave it to him, and he thanked you right away

“How did you have enough time to go on a coffee run this morning?” Taeyong asked in shock

“I got up at four and am running on one hour of sleep,” you explained, not even trying to seem like you have it together

that's what its like being a hot mess, babey !!1

“That’s not good, you need to get more sleep. Were you out late last night with your schedule or something?”

concerned mom? yes

“I was out until about eleven pm, yeah, but in all honesty... I couldn’t sleep because I was very nervous to meet you.”

bro you need to get some sleep and get your filter back in place

bc when you get no sleep?? a bitch has NO filter whatsoever

Taeyong was genuinely surprised that you were nervous to meet him

“Really?? You were nervous to meet me?? Why, am I really that scary or something??”

“Its not that you’re scary, exactly, but... I have wanted to work with you for a very long time, and it still hasn’t fully set in that this is my reality.”

he nodded after you spoke, and it seemed to both impress and confuse him

no matter how popular him and his group got, he never got used to having people look up to him

and to hear it from someone as successful as you, someone he has constantly seen in the media for so long?? mind boggling

it kind of made him nervous tbh

before he could reply, the managers and everyone piled in and the van started moving to the photoshoot set

as soon as you guys left the company building, your head leaned onto the window and you passed tf out

when you woke up, Taeyong was tapping you on the shoulder and telling you that yall got to the set finally

taeyong’s face greeting you when you woke up? shocking, but not an unwelcome sight

“Alright, we need to get you guys into hair and makeup, then we will send you both over to wardrobe and they'll make any last minute touchups and then you can get to work. Sound good?” your manager told you two, and when you both nodded, she immediately directed you to the makeup studio

your artists were very excited to work with you, which made everything much more pleasant

“The feel we are going for with this shoot will perfectly fit your aesthetic and your features, I’m so excited!!” and “You’re naturally this pretty? And after only one hour of sleep? Oh my god, my under eye bags are permanent and it looks like you don’t have any at all!” or the occasional “I wish I could be as stunning as you without even trying...”

it sounded like Taeyong was going through the same thing, as you could hear some of the other makeup artists gushing about his sharp features

“Wow, your eyes are so beautiful!” and “Your smile is stunning!” and “I wish I was half as pretty as you are!”

you could tell it made him a bit uncomfortable because he sat there with a :} face

(unrelated but: that face looks like the grinch lowkey, ok sorry for interrupting lol, back to the fic)

you two made eye contact in the mirror and you could practically read his mind

I want this to stop, they’re making me uncomfortable, oh my god.

to which your eyes said, Same here, and I am used to dealing with this on a daily basis.

luckily, they finished putting shadows and liner on your eyelids, and then they sent you to the hair department

for hair, they teased and curled your hair, giving you a tired and just woken up look

well, a styled just woken up kind of look

Taeyong came in halfway through your hair and all they had to do for him was throw some gel in his and make it a little messy and he was good to go

by the time you made it to wardrobe Taeyong was already on set and getting individual pictures for the concept

they threw you in clothes, and by clothes you mean a men’s oversized white button up, short shorts, and a bright red bra

and before you could even leave to head to the set, they made sure that the first few buttons were undone on the shirt

to say you felt a lil bit exposed and cold was an understatement

the second he saw you, Taeyong had a glint in his eye and he couldn't stop staring at you

naturally, that made you blush and get really self conscious

?? wot

“Hello, I am your photographer for the day. This shoot is supposed to be sort of a couple, romantic fashion shoot, so I hope you two know each other very well and are comfortable with being close to one another. Do you two have any issues with that?”

you both looked at each other,

and then lee Taeyong,

while staring dead in your eyes,

said

“No, sounds perfect!”

bitch

what the fuck was that supposed to mean ?!

“sounds perfect” uhhhhhhhhhhh lemme get a mcfuckin explanation

he gave you a small smile before you managed to get out, “No issues here.”

that only made him smile more

njsdncvcaehcfabcafcb bitch!! you were whipped for him already

“Great! Let’s get started, then. Y/N, I will have you stand over here, and...”

let’s just say that the photographer had you two start with basic stuff, like you two standing next to one another with Taeyong putting his hand on your shoulder and things like that

it quickly escalated though, and he had you doing things like laying your legs across his lap and running your hands through his hair

“Sorry if this is a little too intimate for you,” you whispered into his ear during another shot, where you were draped over his sitting form and your hand caressed his cheek

“Don’t apologize, it’s not. If anything, I’m a little flustered to have someone as pretty as you staring at me the way you are, Y/N, even if it is just for the camera,” he told you, shifting so that you were turned with your back to the camera and chest flush to his, your hands delicately placed on his upper arms, his hand resting on your lower back and you staring up at him

faintly you could hear the photographer say, “THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE ONE!”

“Trust me, it isn’t just for the camera,” you mumbled, not able to filter yourself due to sleep deprivation

you thought he didn’t hear you, but then a smirk formed on his face and you knew you #fucked up

the end of the shoot was arriving, and there were a few more pictures the photographer had in mind, but he wanted to let you guys do your own thing and see where it ended up

“You guys can do what you want for these next few pictures, just do what feels naturally and I’ll angle it well.” very encouraging, right

making use of the pieces of furniture on the set, you decided to lay on the bright red couch and Taeyong looked down at you from behind it

“I couldn’t hear what you said earlier, can you say it again please?” he asked, trying to fish a confession out of you

Oh, Mr. Lee Taeyong, it won’t be that easy.

“Hmmm, what do you mean?” you asked, purposefully trying to be as close to him as you could, so you sat on your hips to the side more and pulled him down so your hand rested on his cheek and your face was //right there, you could feel his breath on your lips//

(the photographer would have fainted there if he could get away with technical time theft while on the job)

taeyong’s breath hitched and a blush crept onto his cheeks and you knew you got him

ladies and gentlemen.... we got ‘im

even still, he tried to get it out of you

“Well, I thought I heard you say something under your breath before the photographer spoke to us,” he coyly explained, sitting down and pulling you onto his lap

at that point it became a game of who could get the other to blush more

and lemme just say, mama didn’t raise no lil bitch, so you were NOT about to lose

grabbing both sides of his face in your small hands, you leaned in and whispered, “I hope it’s okay that I’m going to kiss you now.”

his eyes went wide, and then he said, “MORE than okay.”

and the next thing you know, your lips were planted on his and the photographer was sobbing genuine tears

“THIS IS PEAK PROFESSIONALISM, OH MY GOD, IT’S BEEN YEARS SINCE I’VE WORKED WITH MODELS AS GOOD AS YOU TWO, OH MY, THIS IS THE SHOT THAT WILL MAKE IT BIG, I’M-”

of course his enthusiasm made you start giggling, and you could feel Taeyong smiling into the kiss

when you two broke apart you leaned your forehead on his and stared into his eyes

“I think we both know what I said earlier,” you told him, throwing your arms around his neck

“Good, because I hope we are both on the same page,” he said, smirking slightly

“And that is?”

and all he did in response was kiss you again, but this time not smiling from the photographer’ s goofy remarks

the photographer gave the okay after he got that shot and told you two that he wish he’d gotten to work with you sooner

the ironic thing here is that you and Taeyong wished the same thing

you headed back to the dressing rooms, hand in hand, getting stares from the staff but not caring much

or at all, really

#bad bitch club: RISE

“I hope you know that as soon as those pictures get released, people will assume we are dating, right?” you said, wiping the makeup off and combing through your hair

you quickly ducked into changing room, throwing on the clothes you were wearing when you arrived

you heard him chuckle from the other little makeshift room

you exited your changing room and found him waiting for you

“Why let them assume when we could tell them the truth ourselves?”

and somehow, despite the crazy hectic schedules you both had,

and all the crazy ups and downs of being in the public spotlight,

a few months later, when the magazine finally hit the shelves and the cover image was you two kissing each other and looking like the happiest couple in the world,

when you got invited to an interview to discuss the inspiration for the images and the experience of working with each other,

you two walked in hand in hand, smiling brightly and looking like your average couple that was in love

and when asked if you two were dating,

you replied, “Yes, and it has been the best few months of my life so far.”

{Requested} Dating EXO: Baekhyun

I have been waiting for this! I’m sorry I’m so Baekhyun biased forgive me

oh honey

get ready for the ride of your life

mkay

you were closing up at this bakery you worked at

as you were cleaning up, you heard the little bell above the door open

“i’m sorry but we’re-”

you stopped your sentence cause

holy fuck

Byun Baekhyun just burst into the shop YOU worked at

“ah! i’m sorry but please can i hide here?”

that’s when you heard the loud screaming from outside

so you nodded

he gave you a grateful smile as you led him to the kitchen area

you almost laughed at how quickly he ducked behind the racks

but hey

he was being chased by loud teenage girls

s you left him there, going about your business as they rushed in

“where’s Baekhyun?”

“i’m sorry, who?”

cue gasping girls

“you doN’T KNOW WHO THE BYUN BAEKHYUN IS”

taking that as their cue

they left without a second thought

“they’re gon- whAT ARE YOU DOING”

Baekhyun was stuffing his face with sweets

“uh....i’ll pay for these, i swear”

after paying, he thanked you serenely

for the next few weeks

he’d show up and order the same thing every time

at first you didn’t recognize him cause of the hood and mask

but once you did you were all like

“ohmygod Byun Baekhyun is actually talking to me”

he decided to stay back one day and walk you home

which shocked you to say the least

the two of you learned quite a bit about each other

after a little heart to heart with Minseok

you confessed first actually

“I like you. wanna date?”

Little Church Bell

Submitted by @disneyphantomlover

((My way of saying thanks for writing so much for me lately.))

He hadn’t expected much this day.

Hell, Sammy didn’t expect much anymore. Days merged and passed without a hint to his sanity. His appetite was reduced so much now that he hardly ate food anymore and had to stick with drinking the ink. He refused to look at mirrors now; his dangerously body was being stained black with ink, and frankly, he didn’t like what he saw reflected in the broken mirrors. He could barely distinguish what his face was now. He was nothing but an inky mess… Almost no better than the creatures that roamed the Music Department.

But. He was better. He had an inkling of his mind still! He knew his name. …He knew who he was. ……. He knew who could get him and everyone else out of this damned studio.

He just needed to be patient. And keep anyone from turning the Ink Machine on.

The first part was easier than the later. No one came to the Studio -which made him question on occassion what had possessed him to come here himself- so it was easy to keep strangers from turning on the blasted thing. He tried to please his Savior in the Machine though. Putting up various cut-outs of the little Devil Darling up around the studio floors was a good way to pass the time. And sometimes, it’d help Bendy warn him if rogue Searchers or that disolving rag-tag gang was coming close to his floor. It reminded him of times he’d walk around the building before… Before he was under the spicket of the Machine.

Shaking his head slightly, he tried to banish those thoughts from the forefront of his mind. He needed his older memories, not the reminder of why he was here. Why he was stuck here. He swung his last cut-out of the night down, setting it to stand in the corner by the stairs of Utility Shaft 9. That fake angel had managed to break this one the other night, which was five kinds of unsettling to him.

But that’s when he heard it. A faint gasp to his immediate left. He snapped his head around at the sound and snarled, expecting to see the fake “Alice” attempting to hurt him. But instead of the half-melted woman he knew lived floors down, he found a timid looking lady at the landing of the stairs. The sight of someone so…human-looking… was enough for him to pause and straighten his posture a little bit.

The intruder looked ready to faint, if he was honest with himself. Her hand came up to her mouth and she immediately backed up to the wall. If he wasn’t so surprised himself, he’d laugh at the fact she cornered herself. So typical… He couldn’t help but notice that she was modestly dressed, in a long skirt he could only assume was blue that didn’t hide her boots. Her blouse was modest as well, long-sleeved and now stained with ink. Her hair looked similar to his own, pale and short. …But why was she here? Why hadn’t Bendy warned him about someone coming into the studio?

He chanced a step up the stairs, and saw her tremble violently. He immediately stopped. …God, he probably looked a fright. If his inky body wasn’t enough, he was dressed in only pants and suspenders, face hidden by a mask. And the more he thought about it, if she was this far in the studio, maybe she’d seen the other ink creatures. He couldn’t blame her for being scared if that was the case. He reached up, pulling his mask; the ink hadn’t taken over all of his face yet. The right of his face still showed his pale human skin, as thin and strange as the rest of him was. But maybe this would help her see that he was human to? … Maybe not by much, but enough.

….

He must’ve looked worse than he thought; no sooner had he pulled the mask off did the woman audibly gasp in fear. He almost pulled the mask back up out of self-consciousness, but her voice stopped him. “Mister… Oh-…Ohmygod….. Mister Sammy?”

He continued to look at her, but his mind’s eye altered her appearance. Instead of an ink-stained blouse, she wore a white blouse with short sleeves. Her pale hair brightened with a more yellow-like color, and he could visualize the blue bow that would’ve rested on the right side of her head. Her face immediately sharpened into view, and he could almost… Just almost recognize her….

….But all that he could think of was church bells. She was something to do with church bells.

“Oh my god…” She was pulling herself from the wall, chancing a step toward him.

A fierce feeling bloomed in his chest as she did. No. If she came closer, she’d want to stay here. She’d be tempted to turn on the machine. She’d be hurt by the false angel. He couldn’t tell why, but… He needed to keep her safe. Maybe it wasn’t his place to care about her, but he couldn’t stop himself. She was kind and gentle. He KNEW that… He had to protect what he knew.

Throwing an arm up, he barked out a gruff “STAY. …Stay where you are, little church bell.” She seemed properly startled, and stayed where she was.

“…Sammy… Sammy, what happened to you?”

….He needed to protect her. And if that meant getting her out of here… He’d do that.

“… Bendy happened to me. … If you don’t leave now, he’ll come find you.” His voice took on a sinister tone. Not genuine, but he could make it sound believable enough. He started to take more steps up the stairs, and he watched the little church bell cower from him. “I should take you to him. He’d love to leave this hell of a studio. … Maybe I will.” He was on the landing himself, and he had to stop himself from advancing on her any more. She was in a literal corner now, shaking like a leaf and starting to hyperventilate. “I’ll take you to my Savior. He’ll enjoy your blood for the Machine.”

He got a slight surprise when she pushed her arms against his chest, shoving him back and bolting up the stairs. …. She was running away. He knew it. He could hear her scream of terror and the heavy footfalls of her boots as she ran. But he had to make sure…. “RUN RUN RUN CHURCH BELL!! I’ll FIND YOU!! My LORD WILL HAVE YOUR FLESH!”

…..He couldn’t help the wave of relief as he heard the door slam shut. The little church bell was safe.

This is so amazing! Thank you so much!
