《More than rubies [D. Alli x E. Dier]》Chapter 8

Introducing Ruby to everyone was fun, but it would be more fun, if Eric was with us.
Everything was funnier when he was around...
He was like never ending summer holidays, like a refreshing drink on hot days vor even like a comfy pullover on a cold winter's night.
He was perfect.
I wanted him, I needed him.
"Guys, I need to show her around, we'll talk later!" I waved at them.
"Bye!", she said in a high-pitched girl-voice.
"Bye, Beauty!", Danny shouted.
"Damn, Daniel.", I mumbled.
"Here we have...", I opened the door.
"Huh? Nobody? Where have they gone?", I wondered.
I knocked on the neighbour door.
"Come in!", someone shouted.
I opened the door.
"Here y'all at! I was looking for you!"
Kevin, Nacer and Harry Winks squeezed onto one bed, Sonny, Moussa and Michael squeezed onto the other, playing Fifa.
Everyone at Spurs was obsessed with that game.
"No fair!", Harry pouted.
"Aya!", Sonny cried. "So close."
At first they didn't care about me, until Moussa shouted:
"Omg. Guys. Stop. It's true."
"What's true?", Kevin wanted to know.
"You're gay?", Nacer laughed.
"Fuck you, no.", Moussa replied.
"Look!"
He pointed at Ruby.
"Our little one has finally grown up..."
Ruby shyly waved.
"Hi, I'm Ruby."
Everyone was smiling gently.
"Hey, Ruby. I'm Michael. You got a great catch there! Dele's really a nice guy."
Sonny was curious.
"Omo! Ruby? Isn't that some kind of stone?"
I laughed.
"You're a stone. You... You Heung-Min Stone."
We all laughed.
"Congrats, bro.", Harry said while smirking.
"Yeah. She's a model. Look at dat boooty.", Nacer added.
I growled.
"Nacer! Please." He giggled.
"I feel uncomfortable.", Ruby whisper into my ear.

I didn't love her, but I accepted that and apologized.
"Sorry for Nacer. He's a fine guy, but sometimes he likes to be a douche. Don't hate him. He's really friendly.", I whispered back. "Sorry, guys. We ought to go now. See y'all tomorrow!"
Ruby looked me in the eyes.
"Thanks, Dele. I don't like to be shouted at...."
I shook my head. "It's fine. It's important that you tell me things like that, so we can leave. It's your right to say no and just leave. Nobody should make you feel uncomfortable."
She smiled at me. "Thank you, Dele. I love you."
I smiled back at her.
"No problem."
After we were done introducing her to everyone, I hugged her.
Just because I thought she deserved some treatment for playing along, I mean, she still thought I was in love with her.
I drove her home.
When we arrived, she winked at me and kissed me.
"Dele", she whispered slyly.
"Aren't you tired? I don't want to spend my time alone, you know. My bed is big enough for both of us."
She smirked.
I was nervous. "Errr... Eh, I have an important meeting tomorrow morning. I can't stay, Ruby."
She took my hand. "But we can make it hot and quick? Whatcha think? You'll love it."
She was about to pull me inside, when I shouted: "No. Ruby, stop. You're violating my rights. I don't feel like doing it now. Please let me go. I'm not ready yet."
She stared at me.
"Oh. I thought.... You... And you were so nice to me... It would be a little suprise, but I'm sorry if I disturbed you....", she looked at the ground.
"It's alright.", I said.
"Good night, Ruby."

"Good night, Dele."
When I was back inside my room, I pretended to be very happy.
"Ah, our lil' one is back here. You're such a gentleman." Kyle laughed.
"Your girlfriend is nice. Lovley Person. Really."
I nodded.
"Yeah, she is."
I must have been looking really disturbed, because he asked me wheter I was alright.
I nodded slowly.
He looked worried.
"Are you sure? Wanna talk about anything?"
I shook my head. "I'm good. Thanks."
Eric came out of the bathroom.
He had been showering. He had been showering a lot since we had been fighting.
"Hi, Eric.", I greeted.
"Hi, Dele. Where's your girlfriend?", he asked.
"At home. I drove her home."
Eric smirked.
"You didn't stay?" I shook my head.
"No."
He continued smirking.
"Not today?"
I sighed.
"Not any time soon."
Eric was suprised.
"Oh, why? I mean... It's fun."
I rolled my eyes. "Too soon!"
Eric giggled. "You're prude!"
"I don't care. I'm simply not ready yet."

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.

8 221[Cryoverse] The Last Precursor
One hundred million years ago, an unknown cataclysm rendered humanity extinct. After conquering seven galaxies and becoming a super-civilization, terrankind vanished from the cosmos. Time passed. Their animal descendants (Cats, dogs, and crocodiles, among others) all evolved and Uplifted themselves to become the new overlords of the Milky Way. But the newly Uplifted were not ignorant of the past. How could they be? Countless records lay scattered among the stars of the ancient Precursor civilization which came before them. Their ancient facilities and installations dotted countless worlds. Their superweapons fell into the hands of the Uplifted, and countless wars followed. Once the Uplifted established their empires, a tenuous peace followed. Finally, it seemed as if the old wounds had begun to heal, leaving only a cold war that stretched on for several centuries. But what they did not know was that one human had survived. One last Terran, a super-soldier employed by the most powerful military humanity had ever conceived. Jose Rodriguez awakens from stasis sleep to find himself alone, his entire species wiped from the universe. He is the last living Terran. He is the Last Precursor. Do you like Astartes?

8 164Quirkless?
As a small child my whole perception of the world changed. I was surrounded by liars and fakes. Humans are such a cruel species, if someone doesn't fit they are cast out. People turn a blind eye to cruelty I've faced, people don't care about the quirkless. Except I'm not quirkless. Far from it. All I can say is my treatment in this world made me strong but cold, bitter and apathetic. I was the only human I could trust, I and I alone. Here is the story of how I ended up in my version of hell, UA. Surrounded by, well you know, just about every single person I couldn't get far enough away from. And an overkill quirk just about everyone wanted a piece of. Yeah I was dealt some pretty shitty cards, now you'll see how I play them.Uploads depend on my schedule but I'll try weekly also error will be made cuz I dotn proof read, when I've finished I'll go over it 😅 The story follows Izuku but if there's a change in povs there will be a indication ⚠️ warning swearing and violence⚠️
