Kevin and Cecil: doubles, counterparts, twins, some combination?
Reblog for exposure please!
Definitions, for and against arguments, explaination of last option:
Doubles. Definition: exact copies of the citizens of Night Vale and of Desert Bluffs which split from them during the sandstorm. Essentially a newly created clone whose looks, personality and memories were/are identical to each other. For example: Dana is not sure if she's the original Dana or the double, due to the exactness of the memories of being Dana right up to the point of seeing the other Dana. Every double is described as looking, sounding and acting identically to the person they're a double of be it Cecil or Kevin reporting. Lawrence Lavine (Larry Leroy's counterpart but not his double) details the sensation of suddenly feeling like he had two hands scooping sand until there was suddenly two complete versions of him. Evidence for: Both Kevin and Cecil describe a picture of the other sharing their physical likeness, even down to what the other is wearing in the photo matching what the speaker is wearing now (or, posesses at least). Their likeness in looks is also mentioned when they physically meet during the Strex arc. Neither of them spawn any other kind of double, despite the fact that people indoors did still spawn one (such as Dana, and the imagined alive version of Vanessa Kevin seems to insist on manifesting). Kevin says directly that he 'thinks he saw his double' when the two cross back through the vortex. Evidence against: Both existed before the sandstorm, so unless (likely Cecil) spawned a double when he was very young and that double was taken away and raised as Kevin, this is very strange. Cecil doesn't actually say he met his double when seeing Kevin in the vortex.
Counterparts: a term not mentioned in canon but which can be used to explain the relationship between two characters with similar but not necessarily identical names, lives, personality traits and roles/jobs as somebody from the other town. For example: Dana Cardinal/Dan Cardozo, Larry Leroy out on the edge of town/Lawrence Lavine out in the Edgertown Development, Old Woman Josie (full name Josephina)/Grandma Josephine, Pamela Winchell/Pablo Mitchell. The fact that they seem to have similar jobs etc hints that whilst being different people they have made similar decisions in life. Evidence for: Cecil and Kevin share a lot of the same likes and dislikes which is more obvious in the brief glimpses we get of Kevin from before Strex changed him, even Cecil comments on this in Triptych. They both have the same job (obviously). They both didn't experience a creation of a double, but did make identical decisions to go through the vortex showing more likemindedness without being the exact same person (possibly).
Twins: two children born at the same birth (according to Google, but we all know what twins are, right?). Evidence for: If Kevin and Cecil are just twins from a seperated marriage, it could explain why Kevin mostly remembers a dad and Cecil only had a mother and why they're physically identical and somewhat similar in other ways but still different even before Kevin's brainwashing. Kevin mentions having siblings, but his memory of his past is hazy. They could have been split when they were too young to really remember each other and Abby could have her own reasons for not wanting to tell Cecil about Kevin even after the Strex arc and Kevin coming to town.
Evidence against: Although Kevin briefly and unreliably mentions siblings, Cecil doesn't except for Abby. The grown Cecil from Casettes even explicitly says he doesn't have a brother (although he's technically talking about Cal here) which doesn't necessarily invalidate the other points but could do. It seems like something Abby would have mentioned to him at some point though regardless of any reasoning I can think of but people are unreasonable all the time.
Last option: We know there's many timelines and that Cecil is a constant in all of those timelines. If there can be a timeline which is identical except instead of Abby, Cal was born OR a mini version of NV which is now under the bowling alley then why couldn't there be a timeline where Cecil was favoured by a Smiling God and not Huntokar and was raised in DB as Kevin? In the newer episodes, Kevin, refreshed to a child by Carlos' meddling science, has no idea who he's supposed to be and is completely lost. I don't know if that's completely related to this theory but it is interesting.
Facts to possibly ignore for meta reasons: Kevin and Cecil having different names and voices.

GAARA WEEK 2022, DAY 1 - Indentify yourself | Cruel strenght
hosted by @justgaara
Tumblr media
Maybe not so cruel
World was cruel and you knew it very well.
You were witness of it all, almost every day - living in ninja world, both as shinobi or ordinary citizen, it was hard.
But to you, it seemed harder that being shinobi was the worst. You were one, after all.
By living in Konoha, it looked like you and your frends, as well as other shinobi, were lucky. Other villages, unfortunately, were not that kind.
~~~
That day, you were at streets. Walking alone.
You were feeling adrenaline in your veins and nervousness in your bones.
Chunin exam's soon..., you thought. Chunin exam... infamous chunin exam.
There were many tales of chunin exam and it's cruelty. Most of them contain suffer and kids & other participants dying in horrifying ways.
Everyone were saying that times are diffrent now and that exam wasn't as cruel as before.
Yeah, sure thing.
You didn't belive a thing of their words. And honestly? You were frightened to death.
What could happen? Maybe i should not participate at all...
You were so lost in your own mind, you didn't even see a boy going your way. Collision was inevitable.
- Oh, sorry about that.-
He just stood, looking at you with eyes wide from suprise.
His hair was short and flame red. It remined you of strawberries, with eyes greenish like shallow ocean. He was wearing simple brown clothes, with guard on his back. His headband was telling you that newcomer was from Sunagakure, village in Land of the Wind.
- Hm... Hi. What's your name?-
Boy stayed quiet.
- It is rude not to indentify yourself if someone asks you.-
- I am Gaara of the Sand.-
- Well, Gaara of the Sand, nice to meet you. I'm YN...-
- Do I look like I care?-
You were not expecting that.
- Sorry, did I say something wrong? I really did not want to hur-
- Just don't be in my way or I'll kill you.-, he said coldly and walked away.
You stood frozen. What just happend?
There was some strange energy around that redhaired boy. It felt just... Cruel.
But can it really be like that?
You were not sure.
You saw that he looked at you before he left. His eye weren't as cold as his word sounded.
Then, in Forest of Death, you were witness to that cruel strenght. Entire team from Amigakure was gone, dying in his sand.
It scared you too death. You wanted to run, hide, maybe even cry? Anything, just to stay calm.
But, you started thinking about something - what would make someone do that?
Something bad must have happend to you. Poor boy...
That was just sad.
Yeah, Gaara looked cold, heartless and cruel. Yes, a lot of people were saying he Is dangerouse. And yes, he was scary.
But under coldness of his eye, something deeper was hiding.
~~~
It felt like yesterday, that day you meet at Konoha before the chunin exam.
With new chunin exam rolling in, your nervousness returned.
But this time, you were more calm and it wasn't affectimg you at all.
Actually, you were very happy this was happening again.
I'll see him again.
You found yourself walking alone again.
Just like back then, you smlied at this thought.
You look around. Was it just you or you were at the exact same place where you first saw him?
Then, like out of nowhere, he appeared.
- Gaara! Hey!-, you say cheerfully.
Please, don't be blushing, don't be blushing.
- O-, hi... Y/N?-
You noded, - Yes, that's me. I'm glad you remember.-
Crossing your arms behind your back, you started to sway a bit.
- How have you been, Gaara?-
- I'm alright, I'd say.-
- That's good. Oh, are you feeling alright by being here?-
Look in his eyes smeed sort of frightened.
Great! I messed up.
- Oh, no! Sorry, I didn't mean...-
- Don't apologise. Yes, it feels weird, but that how it should be.-
- Oh... Well, I... Guess you're right there.-
There was long silence between you until you found words you considered good enought and right.
- Do you have to go somewhere? I can take you wherever.-
- That'd help a lot. My brother and sister must be looking for me already.-
-Haaa!-, you whine happly.
- What's wrong?-, he asked.
- You just called them your brother and sister!-, soft smile appeared on your face.
He stoped. Heh, he for sure didn't expect you to say that. Got ya! Totally unready.
- That's what they're to me. What else shall I call them?-
Smile on your face was still warm and you burst into short giggle, starting to walk away.
- You know what, Gaara? You're not that cruel at all.

I NEED YOU, FT. IWAIZUMI HAJIME
Tumblr media
warnings: manipulation, blood, fights, knives, toxic families and i didn't edit this too well? wc: 1.3? a/n: for @sunhee-sun's girlboss gatekeep gaslight collab
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you were hidden in the dark alleyways, well known but somehow so secretive. your name was whispered throughout the city, warning the newcomers to stray away. it was exactly what you wanted.
your quarters were a large worn down building in a damp corner of the city. you'd saved enough you'd come across tss the building none day, gloomy and unoccupied. this was perfect, exactly what you needed.
now you needed to find a partner, someone you someone who could follow you along, every step of the way, and you needed to find someone quickly, with how things were going. it hadn't been long since you left your previous gang.
why? just for the fun of it. it had become boring. repetitive. the same thing over and over again. a brawl to start off the month, filled with a few small tassels throughout. the tasks you were given were menial. 'go steal this,' 'go threaten them. you wanted more.
Tumblr media
fun. you always wanted fun. being the child of a family like that, did that to you. "make sure you all do well," your father said, to your siblings early on during your childhood. the same lesson repeated over and over during your meals.
you realised early on that you were part of a set. part of a set that was meant to bring glory and prestige. prestige to him. you left as soon as you had that thought.
"good morning children," he said every morning, before leaving the house. his daily inspection. you make a mistake, and you reminded of the consequences.
"remember, we don't make mistakes. if you would've concentrated and cared enough, you wouldn't have done it." he said, as he paced the room. you could feel your hands tingle, staring widely at your father. you were terrified. terrified at the uncertainty this man brought to the table.
on some days it was a simple warning, and on other days it was a slow and torturous. images of the people who failed because of a simple mistake. how you were bound to be next.
one day, you had enough. you left with a single knife from the kitchen to the one part of the city where your father would never bother searching for you. the gangs. full of failures, as he said.
Tumblr media
everything under your fingertip. your heart reached at the thought of it. yes, you needed to find yourself a partner, and you knew exactly where to look.
you were at the schooling sector, this was exactly where you were going to find someone. someone who had just begun stepping into the world, who had no idea of what was actually going on.
if you were a law abiding citizen, following society's rules, you would've probably entered the same area at this exact time, but with a completely different motivation.
the people here wanted different things, where from different places, it wasn't difficult for you to find someone you could use. you were pretty sure small fights would erupt pretty soon around the area. symbols of power and prestige. stupid, but useful.
you walked around, proud of your disguise. you looked like a typical student, trousers and a large shirt. tucked in. a few small brawls had started already, a few seniors going at the freshmen. typical, you mused.
you wanted to go the alleyways. the secret fights that no one was supposed to know about. that was were you'd be able to find someone.
you wandered along, going deeper and deeper. the fights here got bolder, more intense. you'd gotten looks as you walked around, a few idiots raising fists. it hadn't taken long for them to back away. a punch to the nose, a jab to the neck.
"don't you fucking dare!" you heard, as you stepped over a man who grabbed you by the shoulder. he was on the floor now, unconscious. or maybe he was conscious. you didn't care. as long as he was quiet, that was enough for you.
you peeked around the corner, smiling as you saw three men look down at someone on the floor. they were large, all of them were, even the one on the floor. the one on the floor, a student presumably, you guessed seeing the rumpled up shirt, and the trousers he wore. you could even see a bag thrown in the corner.
the student got up, staggering at the pain. he was bleeding near the mouth, and his limbs were bruised. "no," he stared blankly, before he began to throw another punch, sending the man stumbling back.
you saw a glint of metal from the corner of your eye. a knife. they were going to stab the student. and he was obviously too inexperienced to notice.
you weren't going to lose your man.
you threw your dagger, hitting the blonde straight in the chest, releasing a breath as he fell to the floor. you turned to the standing men: the one you wanted and the other two goons.
you lifted a finger to your mouth, smiling widely as you approached them. "i'd like both of you to leave please," you said to the goons, waving away slightly as you approached your man. "what do you mean you-" "i'm not going to say this again, gentlemen," you whispered, taking a step closer to them, smiling before they scrambled away.
finally. you found him.
"i'll help you, i'll stand with you," you said to your man. "come with me." he raised his eyebrows, staggering back. "why-why should i?" "i protected you now, and i'll continue to." you said as you walked around the man, smiling. "why?" he breathed, becoming stiff. "i like you. i want you. will you come with me?"
Tumblr media
it wasn't bad at first. iwaizumi went to university like always, and occasionally coming down to the large warehouse to help you move things around. 'spruce up the place', as you said. you always went out for toast with him afterward, before parting your ways.
he'd gotten comfortable with you. as you started telling him about yourself, he'd started telling you about yours. your asshole of a father, your set of siblings, and the need for perfection. his heart clenched as you told the story with a. blissful smile almost unaware of the atrocities done to you.
so he started telling you about himself. the way he lived in the orphanage his entire life, full of children who were just days to young adults as old as he was.
it seemed like you both lived opposite lives. while he was told to blend in, hide, and make sure he got by, you were told to stand out, be the centre of it all, and strive for perfection. it was so very different, but so similar at the same time.
he'd become comfortable enough to tell you about his wants, his desires, his frustrations and his fears. 'i don't want to fail this class', i would love to have a dog', 'i want to have someone', and 'i don't want to make a fool of myself'.
slowly, his grades started to improve, his standing in school had started to increase. he also started to do stay with you for much longer, walking around the city with you, talking so much more. you both started to help the people around you, just like how you helped him. it was helping people from fights, form bad deals, from scams, for their loved ones. it you were wonderful, he thought, as he looked at you one day. you were sitting in the warehouse, drawing on a random scrap paper. it when he asked you what it was, you mumbled a small 'i don't know', before continuing on with your drawing. he loved being beside you.
Tumblr media
everything grew right in front of you. how the old warehouse was now filled with ilife. how you slowly had an army under your feet.
it wasn't much, of course, you had barely a hundred people with you but you knew how much of a difference you could make. the offers you got, the requests you got.m y and iwaizumi was with you throughout it all.
but it also brought along the drama. daram that you relished. fights, brawls, and everything in between. sometimes it was for territory, and other times it was just because you were bored.
it was fine at first, you wanted some fun. but then it was with people you weren't ready to be up against.
"they've sent another message, yn," someone said as they entered your room, shivering as they put the message on your table. you made no movement, just staring at the floor in front of you.
"yn," iwaizumi said softly, "call it off. we can't do this," he said. "what," you whispered. "you don't get to say that to me," you said, as you felt your anger pent up. you knew you couldn't, but you had to win this game. you were neck deep, and you had no way of leaving. and here he was, telling you the exact same thing.
before you could think, the knife flew by, landing straight n the wall, grazing his cheek. you looked to the floor, tears falling down your face, oblivious to the blood on his.
he walked towards you, ignoring the tinge of pain on his cheek as he wrapped his arms around you. "it's okay, it'll be okay, i'm with you." you wrapped your arms around him, settling in his embrace. you needed him, and you had him.

Starting over
I don’t own anything, including two characters Teka and Yoshino todoroki. Those two are owned by Ackerbang on instagram(check their account, it has great oc bnha characters). I asked for their(not sure if their a guy or girl) permission to use them in this and they were kind enough to allow it.
Tumblr media
It was 8 pm at night when Endeavor grunted while putting his last piece of his costume on before walking through the door to see his fiance with her eyes closed while holding her young son in her arms. Their young 4-month-old son in her arms, his red hair had some spikes starting to grow in since he was born with a little amount of hair similar to his older half-brother Shoto. Endeavor was going to let them sleep but it was dangerous to be sleeping while holding a sleeping baby.
Sometimes he wondered how this happened so fast. After making so many mistakes here he was getting a fresh start with the most beautiful woman who never gave up on him, she was his happy ever after though he would never tell anyone that, he wasn’t an emotional guy.
With all the drama that led to this, she stood with him, she stood with him when the media called her the worst names because of how much younger she was compared to Endeavor, she stood with him at night when he woke up from another memory of his mistakes from the past, so when she asked for a kid he couldn’t say no. Was his family supportive? Understandably no, well Fuyumi had some trouble but after meeting (Y/n) she was more understanding.
When Endeavor met (Y/n) that was when he agreed for Rei and him to get divorced, (Y/n) never tried anything with him when he was married but he just fell for her. When his children found out their father was dating a young woman almost the same age of his oldest child, they weren’t happy. When Enji and (Y/n) got engaged, his children didn’t seem very supportive but they never tried to hurt (Y/n) or anything and she understood their anger wasn’t meant towards her but towards their father. The only kid of his that was supportive of them when they announced (Y/n) was pregnant was Fuyumi as the best and sweetest girl she was.
Enji softly smiled though ignoring his troubles and enjoying this moment seeing his love sleeping with their son on her arms. Their son, Oga laid peacefully with his tiny 4-month-year old arms holding his mother’s hand. The oldest Todoroki placed his hand on his fiance’s arm and gently shook her which woke her up after a few seconds. The young mother opened her eyes and rubbed her eyes to see Enji and smiled, “Hey there,” her voice was soft.
“Are you tired?” Endeavor asked, (Y/n) blinked for a second thinking of it but she shook her head no. She kissed Oga’s head and saw her little boy’s eyes open to show his bright blue eyes practically glow in the dark. Oga tried to move his arms a bit but had a hard time as he was only 4-months-old which made (Y/n) laugh a bit before her baby rubbed his face into her arms out of exhaustion and clinginess.
“He is clingy like you,” (Y/n) said, some friends had suggested that Oga was just going through the baby phase where he doesn’t want anyone other then his mama which (Y/n) agreed with since he hadn’t been this clingy before. The problem with that is the fact (Y/n) can’t have a second of peace when Oga is awake because he won’t accept anyone but her. Oga likes his dad enough though but if he sees his mama, he won't let her have a second alone. They learned that from experience after Enji was kicked in the face once when he was holding Oga while he was having a tantrum wanting his mom.
Oga also seemed to have a fascination with his older half-brother Shoto for some reason, he loved to grab his hair out of the rareness of the color but Shoto didn’t seem to care about Oga understandably so. Fuyumi loved Oga more then anything, whenever she visited she would say how cute he is and how much he looks like their dad though it was obvious she purposely dodged saying he looked like any of his brothers, especially Touya. The one who didn’t want to have anything to do with (Y/n) and/or Oga was Natsuo, he was literally engaged the same time his father was so it wasn’t hard to find why he never visited or called or anything, but the worst part was he had never even met Oga.
The older red haired Todoroki wished he could do more but with his job and knowing the only way his fiance could escape the clutches of the baby would be having to be in an area where Oga couldn’t see or hear her but she couldn’t stand the pain of leaving Oga while he is so young, oh the pain of being a first time mother. Enji looked to the side grumbling, “I’m not clingy, I’m protective,” his fiance giggled a little before looking at him.
“Well I love your ‘protectiveness,” Endeavor smiled and kissed her before looking at Oga stare at him before glaring at him almost and cuddling into his mama. (Y/n) looked at Endeavor in costume before realizing what time it was, “You need to be working, so go and help people, I’ll be fine,” (y/n) reassured Enji which he responded by nodding and leaving. Endeavor had thought the whole night in worry over his fiance, she literally had bags under her eyes since she didn’t get much sleep because Oga wouldn’t let her sleep.
When (Y/n) woke up she could smell something burning which made her shoot herself up and run to Oga’s room to see he wasn’t in his crib, she had never felt so panicked in her life. She ran to the kitchen since that was where the smell was coming from before seeing the number 1 hero Endeavor in his normal citizen clothes while cooking breakfast which was obviously burning as he mumbled under his breath. Oga was sitting with a smile on his face watching his dad get frustrated, he turned his head immediately seeing his mom holding her hand up to cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
Oga cried to the top of his lungs to inform his mama he wanted her immediately, Enji turned to Oga to see what was wrong before seeing what caused his baby to start crying. He frowned with some red on his cheeks before speaking, “I wanted you to get some sleep so I wanted to make breakfast.” (Y/n) smiled and walked to Enji and kissed his cheek which held his scar before turning and picking Oga up, Oga started to mess with her shirt trying to get to his source of food.
“How did you keep him from noticing I wasn’t there?” (Y/n) asked, Enji looked at his cooking before responding, “I just closed our bedroom door and woke him up and walked past our room quickly so he wouldn’t think of you.”
(Y/n) turned to see the track Enji left, how did she not notice that? She didn’t really care since she just got a full 8 hours of sleep since...oh man she needed that sleep. Plus seeing her adorable fiance trying to cook next her baby just brightened up her day. Oga started to cry a bit out of annoyance of being hungry and his mother not giving him food. “This is the sweetest thing. I love you so much,” (Y/n) said with tears forming from her eyes as she hugged her fiance.
“It’s not a big deal,” Enji grumbled, (Y/n) giggled before finally noticing her baby that was hungry and clung onto her shirt. Oga’s red hair had a few spikes but was mostly smooth, his blue eyes was its usual vibrant color.
“It’s still super sweet,” (Y/n) said before kissing his cheek, Enji chuckled softly seeing his love’s sweetness. In that moment, the number 1 hero was at peace...even if the food was burning.
(Y/n) had Oga on her hip while bouncing up and down a little bit while thinking of what to do next, she could start cooking or give Oga some toys while she tried to clean but she didn’t trust him to not try to sit up while his mama wasn’t looking. Oga was starting to stop crying before hearing someone knock on the door, Enji was at work a bit late looking for someone who had escaped prison or something and no one said they were visiting so who was at the door?
She walked to the door before looking through the door to see a gorgeous older woman with hair that looked to be similar to lava, it probably was lava, she had something about her that reminded her of Enji for some reason. (Y/n) looked at Oga who looked at the door before looking at her staring at her. (Y/n) opened the door with some worry since she didn’t know this woman but she looked like a nice older woman, “Hi, do you need something?” (Y/n) asked thinking maybe she was lost or something, the woman with lava hair was about to speak before seeing Oga looking back at her but after a second she spoke with a very graceful and serious voice.
“Hello, I have some business in the city and thought I could visit. I’m assuming that Enji hasn’t told you much about me, has he?” She asked, (Y/n) shook her head no before hearing the woman sigh.
“I’m Enji’s mother, Teka. I...was hoping to see my new grandson,” (Y/n)’s eyes widened before remembering her in a photo around the house, it was an almost hidden picture oddly enough as it normally just sat in the corner of his work space close to his computer that he used when he had extra work. The picture had Teka when she was younger next to a man who was practically a replica of Enji’s son Natsuo with black hair and dark eyes. (Y/n) shook her head for a second after losing herself in thought.
“Wow, I’ve never met you before, I’m (Y/n) but you probably already know that. This is Oga,” (Y/n) introduced herself before moving to allow Teka into the house. Teka walked in so elegantly with a stare that had daggers ready at any moment, there is no doubt she was a Todoroki. She looked around the house with the exact same glare Enji had while in thought.
“It seems he is doing well for himself,” Teka said while looking at the pictures around the house before sitting on the couch like royalty.
“I don't know whether or not this is rude but ugh...why hasn’t Enji talked about you before?”(Y/n) wasn’t good at holding any thoughts in. Teka closed her eyes and looked at Oga, (Y/n) then realized something...Enji is so much like his mother.
“I’m so sorry if I upset you!” (Y/n) apologized sweetly to the ex-model woman, (Y/n) froze for a second after hearing the lava haired woman laugh.
“You remind me so much of him. You're so calm and positive, just like Enji’s father,” Teka said almost in a different world as she looked at her before looking back at Oga. (Y/n) realized Teka wanted to hold him but didn’t know how to properly ask...Enji did the exact same thing when Oga was born. (Y/n) smiled and offered Oga to her which Oga turned his head looking at his mama basically threatening to start crying before Teka smiled and took her grandson.
“He doesn’t normally like other people holding him,” (Y/n) said feeling a bit like she was interrupting the grandma and grandson. Oga was totally calm as he stared at the woman with lava hair.
“He is as big as Enji was at this age,” Teka said with a laugh feeling the weight of the baby boy in her arms. (Y/n) could almost feel Teka in deep thought over something, maybe thinking of when she was holding Enji at this age. She then realized Oga was squirming a bit, “Oh Sorry if he is being fussy, he is going through that phase where he doesn’t like anyone but me holding him. It’s a bit of a problem but he’s getting better,” (Y/n) said, Oga looked at his mother now almost challenging her. After she said that Oga pretty much made her look like a liar as he froze looking at her in silence.
“Ok, now he is just being stubborn. He is turning out like his father,” (Y/n) said with a frown on her face looking at her baby. Teka smiled and ran a hand through her grandson’s hair before hearing (Y/n) speak again.
“So like what happens with you go to beaches, does your hair like change or-”
“-What are you doing here?” They turned to see Enji standing at the doorway staring at Teka. Teka sighed and gave Oga to (Y/n) before turning to Enji.
“I didn’t want to cause any trouble, I assumed you wouldn’t let me see my new grandson,” Teka said with the same glare that Enji shared as (Y/n) practically cowardard in the back.
“Just leave,” Enji said, Teka nodded before leaving the house which left (Y/n) and Enji alone with Oga in (Y/n)’s arms.
After (Y/n) put Oga into his crib she walked into Enji and her bedroom to see him sitting with his laptop on his lap. After the event that happened Enji was silent. (Y/n) went behind Enji and put her arms around him and put her head on his shoulder.
“I’m not going to force you to do anything but if I had a choice I would talk to her again,” (Y/n) said, Enji sighed and put a hand on his love’s head.
“I love you,” Enji said

Siren!Taeil: Eye of the Beholder {1}
Tumblr media
CHAPTER ONE // NEXT 
❃ Taeil didn’t know which was worse: being a male in a family of purely female sirens or being a rare phenomenon in a group of ‘normals’. He never had it easy growing up and going against everything which makes a siren didn’t make it any easier. He would always be thankful for that fateful day when Angel!Taeyong saved him. However when a certain individual puts all of N City on their toes as they’re a risk to another citizen’s life, why can’t Taeil feel nothing except sympathy towards her instead of the hatred the other’s hold? ❃

"Taeil," Taeyong gently shook the older brother and gave him a warm smile as his tired eyelids fluttered open. "You can go to bed now. Y/N's asleep, I've got everything under control."
He quickly checked on your sleeping figure in the infirmary bed. He didn't know how long he was out but he was certain that you were awake the last time he saw you. Slowly he stood up, giving a small thanks to Taeyong before leaving the infirmary room. He wouldn't go to bed, he didn't need to, all he did need was some fresh air and thinking time.
Quietly, avoiding waking up any of the other residents, he made his way through the dimly lit corridors until finding the back door. Sliding it open carefully he tiptoed out, allowing the cool midnight breeze to blow on his face. It was a quick walk to the lake. Well it was more of a stream really.
As he reached the water's edge he finally sat down with the grass underneath him, occasionally the wind would move the grass in such a way that it'd dance in between his fingers, lightly tickling him. He had an urge to shift into his siren form but decided against it, knowing the younger boys they're probably spying on him right now from their bedroom windows.
He brought his head down to the grass and lay there, silently. The grass moulded underneath him, leaving his temporary mark into the land. He could hear the lake gently lapping against the bed, running further and further upstream. There was probably a river somewhere nearby, acting out as a branch into the wide and vast ocean.
Ocean. That word alone reminded him of...home. Could he really call it a home though?
It always surprised him how he even managed to survive. No one had realised he was different until he was six, when sirens get their human form. His once loving family turned on him just like that. Why? He was a young boy, not a girl.
He had loved where he lived. The small, grassy cove reached out onto the beach. The grass had a different feel to the one that grew at N City, it was more...rough. Pretty much summed up his whole childhood. At first it'd start with the girls his age, pushing and shoving. As soon as Taeil retaliated though that's when the older sirens began to torture him.
They left scars but they were easy to hide with clothes, he couldn't say the same for his siren form. That's why he refuses unless necessary, he doesn't need his friends to see him like that.
"Taeil hyung!" A young voice yelled out, his feet flattening the grass beneath each stride. This was someone who didn't care if he woke others. Donghyuck. "What are you doing out here?"
Taeil quickly wiped a stray tear and lifted himself up from the ground. Donghyuck bounded into him, wrapping his arms around his elder brother. He awkwardly returned the affection, he himself wasn't much of a skinship person.
"It's cold out here," Hyuck shivered as he pulled away. Taeil noticed he was barefoot and only wearing shorts with a thin, white shirt.
There was a moment of silence between the two. A chilling breeze blew passed them both, pinching their revealed skin. Hyuck quickly brought his hands to his upper arms and rubbed in a sad attempt to warm himself up.
"You didn't need to come out," Taeil eventually smiled and brought an arm around Hyuck's shoulders. "I was just getting some air before going to bed but let's get inside now. You're right, it's freezing."
Maneuvering back into the mansion Hyuck looked up in awe at Taeil. He didn't say anything, he knew Taeil wouldn't talk about this stuff with him but he had so much hurt in his eyes, so much pain, yet kept it inside and kept being his jokey self. Much like himself. He admired Taeil for that.
After walking Hyuck back up to his room which he shared with Jaemin and Renjun Taeil finally collapsed into his bed. He had to resist the urge not to run back to your infirmary room and go to bed in the chair again, just so he could be there for her when she woke up. Maybe he was being too attentive though so he decided against it, he didn't want to give others the wrong idea.
Settling down under his duvet and forcing his past memories out of his mind Taeil was finally able to sleep. Before he was completely gone a small smile sketched onto his features as a quick image of you fluttered through his mind. You were sleeping, safe and sound in the infirmary two floors below him, a smile which mirrored his own blessing your delicate features.

"TAEIL GET UP WE NEED YOU!" A series of knocks hammered at his door as various voices yelled his name. As of yet he was in no real hurry to get up, usually when this happened -and it tended to happen a lot in a house with the devil himself in it- there ended up being no real threat but instead a cream pie waiting to smack him in the face.
"TAEIL IT'S Y/N!"
Now he was up. If his fate did end up being a cream pie then he can bet that whoever the pranker was would soon become the prankee.
Dashing into your infirmary room with a sense of urgency he immediately went to your side. You were out cold, pale and seemingly unresponsive.
Taeil's eyes scanned the faces which accompanied him in the room: Taeyong, Doyoung, Jaehyun and ... Mingcheng. Quickly doing a body scan of the latter he released a sigh of relief- she was carrying no weapons and she didn't seem triumphant. Always a good sign.
"Taeyong what happened? How did her vitals drop so drastically you told me she was doing fine!" Taeil questioned, he knew he should have never left your side, screw the attentive nonsense he would've been there for you when you needed him most.
"Her heart and breathing rate dropped after another... episode. We've put her on oxygen but we aren't medics Taeil, this type of healing is beyond my powers. I heal bones. Not curses," Taeyong said sternly, not appreciating Taeil's seemingly ungrateful tone.
He took note of the oxygen mask and evaluated your chest movements, not quite how he'd like it but assumed it was an improvement.
Suddenly a pang of realisation hit him, how he had forgotten the most important piece of information he didn't know. "Episode? Is Nev okay, what happened?"
"About time grandpa. She's fine, shaken up but fine. Your little friend here tried to kill her she's lucky she-"
"She tried to kill her Taeyong? But I thought she was bed ridden," it was more of a observation than a question, although he failed to observe the very obvious glares which Mingcheng was shooting through him.
"Did he just interrupt me?" She hissed to her mate, Jaehyun, evidently pissed off.
"He's on edge babe-" "He'll be on the edge of my foo-"
"Jaehyun. Mingcheng. Please go check on Nev and Leon, shoot I should really check on Leon...Taeil, could you give me a second? Come on you two," Taeil just nodded, not watching the three of them leave and not giving Doyoung much of his attention either. His full focus was on you, this wasn't the secure figure he pictured last night, no this was the exact opposite.
There was a gentle silence which occasionally was interrupted by the sound of the heart monitor. Every time a sharp 'beep' pierced through the air Taeil would look up and check your heart rate, noting down if there was an improvement or not every time mainly for his own sanity. He was so absorbed in...You, that he forgot about Doyoung who was sat on the chair opposite the bed, checking out his older brother's behaviour and gentleness regarding you.
"Why do you like her so much?" He suddenly questioned, cocking on eyebrow in a way which Taeil couldn't stand, as if Doyoung had just figured out his entire life story by watching him for five minutes.
"I have no clue what you're on about," Taeil dismissed by shaking his head. "Who's Leon?"
"Just some Lion girl who's been stabbed or shot can't remember the exact details, brought some half wolf dude with her or something too. Now answer my question." Doyoung leaned back in his chair now, his long legs outstretched across the floor.
"You should really pay attention to the people Taeyong saves. Maybe then people will like you?" Taeil sniped back, mimicking his younger brother's actions as he leant back in his chair. Debating whether to stretch out his legs too he decided against it, he was much smaller than Doyoung and didn't need to prove it.
"What's the point? They looked like a total mad show anyway. I don't waste my breath on obviously crazy people."
"Yet you ended up living with sixteen of them, now more if you count the mates. You should loosen up, you're stressed," Taeil smiled as Doyoung chuckled to himself. He had got him there, the residents at N CITY were far from sane.
"I should say the same for you hyung, you should let us in and not push us away when we ask you stuff," now Doyoung had evened out the score. Taeil couldn't think of a reply and the sharp 'beep' of your machine left him unable to think straight anyway as he quickly noted down the results.
"I'm gonna check on Lion Girl and Wolf Boy, call us if anything happens okay?"
Taeil just nodded in response, "see you wizard boy," he smirked as the door clicked behind Doyoung as he left him by himself with you by his side.
He liked the thought of that, you standing by his side, just the thought of you standing without needing support made him happy.
He wanted you to be happy but this was just the sympathy talking... right?

That's chapter one guys 🤪 hoped you enjoyed and give my boy Taeil some love 💝 -Stroni-
