《bleeding love》The truth

OMG ANOTHER FLASH ENJOY!!! Hope you like this chapter! Dedicated to Will and Archy! Enjoy!
***
The next day, i woke up with Hans next to me. I smiled, but I knew he didn't want to be there. Still, he was sleeping like a baby, and it was cute. I got up and looked at him, before heading to the bathroom. The shower was cold - I didn't like it warm, it felt like the sun against my skin, even though the heat couldn't hurt me.
When I was finished, I quickly got dressed and went back into the main room. Hans was still asleep - not that I was complaining.
I expecting Damien to be angry, but he hadn't been. In fact, he'd been pretty much OK with it.
Flashback
"Damien... are you angry with me? For threatening Teddy?"
Damien shook his head, his face tearful and strained.
"Angry? No. She doesn't want me. She's not my responsibility anymore. I'm letting her go."
"that's silly," I told him. "Hans didn't want me, I got what I wanted in the end."
"Hans doesn't WANT to be with you, you force him to. I don't want to force Teddy into anything, I want her to enjoy her life."
I shook my head. "Hans DOES want to be with me. I don't have to force him anymore,"
"He doesn't know what to do anymore. He doesn't want to hurt Teddy, so he can't be with her. He doesn't know what to do with his life, so he just goes along with what you want."
I shook my head, and took a step back. "I don't know who you are anymore, Damien."
"I grew up"
***
It felt odd, and slightly scary, thinking that Hans didn't actually like me, and that he just didn't know what to do. Did he really feel like that? It scared me to think that. And I didn't plan on thinking about it anymore.

The room smelt funny - or, funny when I first smelt it. When I sniffed it again, I recognised the scent immediately.
"Damien," I sighed. "What do you want?"
"How is Hans?"
"fine. Sleeping. Go away."
"I hope you're thinking about what I said."
"why should I? It was a load of twaddle,"
"don't be silly, Lucy."
I stared at him with pleading eyes. I was already hurt enough at the possibility Hans might not love me, I couldn't even imagine how id feel if Damien managed to prove it.
"Lucy... don't look at me like that." he turned away. "you have to face facts."
I turned away. "I have. I know the truth. Please don't tell me, thought, Damien. Please."
"I'm sorry," Damien sighed. "I have to. Lucy... it's time to ask him if he wants to be free."

So I'm a cat, what now?
It seems I've reincarnated into a fantasy world as a cat. What now? This is my first publically published story, and I would love feedback in any form as I have no idea how well the quality of my writing holds up. This story will have light litRPG elements, though I won't dig into numbers much, since I don't enjoy fiddling with them. The tone will be generally light, and I willl probably try to throw some comedy in there as well. The beginning will be Slice of Life, and unless I come up with a longer plot that I like it will stay that way.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
