《Helluva Harem》Looking out for you
Advertisement
Y/n: Run and jump Via! No fear!
Octavia: And what happens if I fall!?
Y/n: You'll be fine. Trust me.
Octavia then prepares to jump, she hesitates for a moment before getting a running start. The moment she hits the edge of the building she jumps. She makes the jump but doesn't stick the landing, as she's about to fall over you ran over and catched her.
Y/n: See? That wasn't so bad. All you have to work on is your landing.
Octavia: Damn it Y/n. Why couldn't you just have carried me?
Y/n: Although carrying you like a bride would be nice, I think showing you what I do for fun can give us a little bonding time.
Octavia: Ugh
Y/n: Hey don't be like that, I promise to catch you everytime if you fall.
Octavia: Promise?
Y/n: Cross my heart.
Octavia kisses you. She then sighs.
Octavia: Ok, it's a promise.
Y/n: Great. [Letting her go, Letting her fall on her butt] Onward my feathered friend! We have no time to waste.
Octavia rolls her eyes and gets up, she then runs after you.
You both hopped from roof to roof and climbed up taller buildings. You always checked in on Octavia to she if she was doing ok. Usually she just gives you a thumbs up or tells you to wait so she can catch her breath.
Y/n: Alright Via, we're close. Just a couple of more jumps.
Octavia: Damn.... Why couldn't we have just walked to the building.
Y/n: I'm...Sorry. I should've just went normally, it's just I don't really get the opportunity to show people that urban exploration can be fun.
Octavia: No it's fine Y/n, I'm actually having fun. It's just that I'm not use to this amount of force being exerted out my body.
Y/n: Makes sense. You want me to carry the rest of the way?
Octavia: I'd like that. A lot actually.
You then walked over to Octavia and kneeled down.
Y/n: C'mon, get on my back.
Octavia then gets on your back. You carried her legs and she wraps her arms around your neck. After making sure she was comfortable you started jumping past a couple of buildings.
Octavia: You know Y/n, I'm surprised you can go this long without needing a break.
Y/n: It's all just stamina training. It also helps cause of the abilities I have. I'm not just limited to having blades and weapons of mass destruction in my body.
Octavia: What do you mean?
Y/n: Let me show you, hold tight.
As you felt Octavia had you tighter you finally let yourself go past your limits. You suddenly ran faster than most cars. Your speed can reach up 500 Miles per hour.
Octavia: J-JEEZ Y/N! Have you been limiting yourself so you can stay at my pace!?
Y/n: Yup, get ready I'm about to jump.
You jumped high into the air, going over atleast 8 buildings, Octavia screams either out of amusement or fear. You can't really tell, but she laughs when you land.
Octavia: That was fun and terrifying! It's like going on an actual good amusement park ride.
Y/n: Now we have to make up there [Pointing up at a taller building]
Octavia: You're gonna carry me while climbing up THAT!?
Y/n: Yup, get ready.
You jumped towards the building planting you feet onto it's walls, cracks form where you landed. As soon as you had your footing you started running up the building. Octavia Laughs in amusement, her hair flowing as you made your way to the top.

Octavia: THIS IS FUN Y/N!
Y/n: TOLD YOU!
Octavia: You have got to carry me more often.
Y/n: Sure, only if you visit me and help me with my art.
Octavia: Deal.
You finally made it to the top of the building. Octavia tried getting off you but you held her tight.
Y/n: We're not done yet Starlight. We have to get down there. [Pointing to a lower section of the building]
Octavia: Please don't tell me you're jumping.
Y/n: I'm jumping.[Running towards the edge of the building]
Octavia: Oh SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
You leaped off the building plummeting down. Octavia screams in terror, practically choking you with how tight she was holding you. The wind in your face felt as good as ever.
Octavia braced for impact, you then landed. A crater forms around the spot you hit.
Octavia: F-fucking shit Y/n, You ok?
Y/n: Just peachy, you can get off now we're here.
Octavia gets off you and explores. The area of the building was actually in pretty good shape. Meaning the building is still being used. As she went deeper she finally found all your graffiti and tags, amazed by the display of colors and shapes. She then notices 2 chairs, a cooler and a mattress.
Octavia: You really do come here often huh?
Y/n: Yeah, sometimes if I don't want to sleep at my place I come here and enjoy the view.
Octavia then looks at the landscape. Tall buildings and neon sights plagued across the city. The bustling noises of the streets compliment the setting.
Octavia: Sometimes I forget how beautiful this place can be. If you manage to ignore every single asshole out there.
Y/n: I can drink to that.
Reaching into the cooler you grabbed a soda, it was lukewarm. You chugged it down and throw the can into the streets. You heard someone scream after getting hit with the can.
Y/n: Bullseye
Octavia Laughs, she then grabs a soda and sips on it.
Octavia: So how did you even find this spot?
Y/n: T-Bone showed it to me. I walked into his place pissed one day, he told me he knew a spot, then took me here. So I come here when I need my own little sanctuary.
Octavia: Then you started practicing graffiti here?
Y/n: Yup.
Octavia sits next to you and watches the city.
Y/n: So you hear about the cleanse coming up?
Octavia: Yeah, if you're worried about my safety I'll be fine, I know a spot that nobody can find. Well except for my mom and dad.
Y/n: Good to hear, I think I'll just stay home. It's the safest I can be atleast.
Octavia: You better, if you died I don't know what I would do.
Y/n: Don't think about it then, just think that you know that I'll survive.
Octavia: Way to think positive.
Y/n: It's what I can do.
You then get up from your seat and went to a box you had tucked away. Opening you found a array of spray paint. All sorts of colors and shades. You then took out some cardboard and a piece of paper.
Octavia: What are you doing?
Y/n: Drawing of course! Hey if you were to pick a tarot card what would you pick?
Octavia: Hmmmmmm... The lovers.
Y/n: Heh, how fitting.

Octavia: You know what that card means right?
Y/n: Yeah, it represents relationships and choices.
Octavia: And what happens if it shows up during a spread.
Y/n: It means that there's a decision to make. Either between and existing relationship, a temptation of heart, or a choice of potential partners.
Octavia: Huh, I'm surprised you know that.
Y/n: You can be surprised by a lot of things.
You sketched down your idea of what the lovers look like to you. After 1 hour you finally have a solid idea. The background is abstract and in layers, the backmost layer is simply a shade of slightly dark orange, in front of that is a yellow circle, and in front of that is a black triangle. At the bottom of the background is some sort of plant, seemingly with small green and red flames on a few points on its snaking, jagged branches. The card's main feature are the upper halves of two skeletons, one coming from the bottom of the card look up, and the other coming from the top of the card looking down. These skeletons are facing each other, with unnaturally long and pointed tongues slithering from their mouths, curving such that they come into contact with each other. The top skeleton has a snake of purple and white stripes slithering from the mostly-unseen ribcage around the neck and to the left of the top skeleton's skull, just past its lower jaw. The bottom skeleton seems to have more damage, and seems to have cybernetic wires and nodes on the left half of its skull, the left half being most visible.
You then showed the sketch to Octavia.
Y/n: What do you think?
Octavia: Is that supposed to be the lovers?
Y/n: My interpretation of it.
Octavia: That looks badass!
Y/n: Great! [Pulling out a marker] Can you help me with something?
Octavia: Sure. What do you need?
Y/n: I need to grab a pair of scissors. I'm going to mark the places you have to cut in marker and all you have to do is cut the spaces out. Got it?
Octavia: Got it.
Y/n: Let's get to work then.
You grabbed multiple piece of cardboard, marking shapes on each one. You then hand them to Octavia. She would cut the pieces off with precision, leaving no spot uncut. After 2 hours of marking and cutting you both finally finished setting up the preparation.
Y/n: Good job Via, couldn't have ask for a better partner for this job.
Octavia: Heh, So what do we have to do now?
Y/n:[Grabbing a roll of duct tape] Now let me set up the first layer of cardboard.
You taped the cardboard onto the wall, grabbing a near by ladder to tape the other half up top. It was atleast 10 feet tall and 5 feet wide.
Y/n:[Handing Octavia a can of spray paint] Here, you can help me with the bottom half while I get the top.
Octavia: Got it, this is gonna be fun.
You walked away from Octavia grabbing a can for yourself then you hear spraying, you looked over to Octavia already getting to work, you ran over.
Y/n: WHOA WHOA WHOA! Slow down Via.
Octavia:[Blushing] S-sorry I didn't know we weren't starting yet...
Y/n: No it's ok, just let give you some.
You went back to your box and grabbed two respirators, handing one of them to Octavia.
Y/n: Here, you're gonna need to wear this. Keeps the fumes away from your lungs.
Octavia: Oh...
Octavia then puts on the mask, she looks like the cutest badass you've ever seen, you put on your respirator, grabbed your phone and took a selfie with Octavia. The both of you held up spray cans.
Y/n: I'm totally making that my background.
Octavia:[Giggling] Can you send that to me?
Y/n: Sure. Now one more thing before you start. Go ahead and shake the can.
Octavia: Why?
Y/n: 'Cause you'll waste the propellent if you don't, you'll just waste the paint that's left inside the can. Plus the paint will come out thin.
Octavia: Oh.
You and Octavia shook your spray cans for a good 2 minute, the rattle satisfying you. Then you climbed up the ladder and got to work.
Everytime you finished a layer you would wait for Octavia to finish hers, then you would grab the next layer that needed to be sprayed. You switched colors for when it was needed. Octavia eventually managed to get to your pace. After 3 hours of spray painting and letting the art dry you finally finished. You and Octavia took a step back and admired the beauty you just created.
Y/n: Wow...
Octavia: Amazing...
You stood there in silence. You grabbed Octavia and put your arm around her shoulder, she leans into you.
Octavia: I love it...
Y/n: Me too...
The both of you were just too stunned by the creation.
Y/n: Hey, what time is it?
Octavia:[Checking her phone] It's 8...
Y/n: We should get going.
Octavia: Yeah.
Y/n: So where's the restaurant anyways?
Octavia looks at her phone then looks over the edge of the building, then points to a restaurant.
Octavia: It's actually right there.
Y/n: Huh, how convenient. I guess we can chill up here until 8:40.
Octavia: Yeah we can... Can we fuck around with more spray paint?
Y/n: Sure why not, just don't get any on your clothes.
Octavia: Sweet.
Octavia then grabs a can of paint and starts spraying little doodles, you joined her. She sprayed stars and constellation while you sparyed skulls and other sorts of monsters and freaks. You then looked to Octavia and drew a heart. Your initials were on the top half, she then walks over and sprays her initials. You then shared a kiss that lasted atleast 5 minutes before breaking away.
Y/n: Let's go, we shouldn't be late to my own party.
Octavia: Are you gonna jump off the building?
Y/n: Nah, there's a door right over there.
You grabbed Octavia's hand and took her towards the door, you both laugh at some antics and jokes on the way down.
Octavia:[Smiling and laughing] You're a dick, you know that.
Y/n: You know you love me.
Octavia: Of course I do.
You finally reached the city streets you looked towards the restaurant and already see a group of familiar people.
