《I Owe You Some Champagne (Usnavi x Reader)》The Club
Advertisement
"Y/N, you look hot!", Graffiti Pete exclaims as you walk in.
"Thank you," you say a bit uncomfortably, heat rushing up to your cheeks.
"Would you like a drink?", Pete asks you.
"Um..." You look over and see Usnavi greeting Vanessa. "I think some champagne."
"Alright," Pete says, then goes over to the bar.
While you wait, you look around. You see Benny standing on the other side of the club, arms folded, watching Nina dance with someone else. Your eyes wander over to Usnavi, who's dancing with Vanessa.
A surge of jealousy hits you. Well, if that's how it's going to be tonight, then you weren't going to sit around staring wistfully at Usnavi.
Pete walks over to you. "Here," he says, holding out a glass. You grab it, drink it, then set it down on a table.
"Let's dance," you say, then lead him to the dance floor.
"Alright," Pete says happily, and you two begin dancing a salsa to the upbeat music.
Out of your peripheral vision, you see Usnavi look over at you, and his dark eyebrows tilt down slightly.
Ha. He was only upset because you're his friend, and you were dancing with his enemy.
A girl walks by and chucks Pete on the chin, and he lets go of you, then follows her like a moth drawn to a flame.
You sigh, then go over to Benny. "It's seems neither of us are having good luck tonight. Romance is muy dificil."
Benny nods, his expression hard.
You look at him, then at Nina. "Go get your chica."
He pauses for a moment, then looks determined. He marches over to where Nina is dancing and smoothly pulls her away from her partner.
Although the guy she was dancing with looks annoyed, she smiles. You were pretty sure that Nina liked Benny just as much as he liked her.

But now you were alone. All of your friends were out on the dance floor with a date, or not even there.
Now seems like a good time to go get that piragua.
You begin to walk towards the exit, when you feel a tap on your shoulder.
You turn around and see a guy you had never met.
"Wanna dance?", he asks.
You really didn't want to. "No hablo ingles," you say, trying to get out of it.
"Aye, it's okay, mami," he says, and leads you back towards the dance floor.
Reluctantly, you begin to dance with him. With Benny with Nina and Vanessa with Usnavi, the only one here you actually wanted to dance with, whoever this guy was seemed like a good distraction.
You look over and see Usnavi still dancing hard with Vanessa, and you scowl. "I'm going to get a drink," you tell him.
"I thought you didn't speak English," he says, and you ignore him as you walk away.
You get another glass of champagne, and down it quickly.
You decide that before you get carried away trying to drown your sorrows in alcohol (which is never a good idea), you should leave.
This time, when you tried to make your way through the crowd, you got swept up in the dancing, and end up with another guy you didn't know.
You struggle and push away from him, and just end up going guy to guy, until-
"Usnavi."
He smiles. "Y/N. Are you struggling a little?"
You sigh. "A little. Where's Vanessa?"
"Sadly, I don't know. Suddenly this giant group of people came in here and we both got pushed away."
"Oh."
Although you had just gone from person to person before, you and Usnavi were actually holding onto each other and weren't getting pulled away.

"How's your date going?", you ask teasingly, even though it broke you inside.
"Pretty good. We've barely talked though, and guys keep coming over and trying to dance with her."
"Aw, I'm sorry Usnavi."
He paused before asking, "So, what happened to Graffiti Pete? Wasn't he your date?"
"He left with another girl," you answer, a bit annoyed now that you were thinking of it again.
"I'm sorry, Y/N. Any guy would be muy estúpido to not want to be on a date with you."
You blush slightly, but he doesn't notice.
Usnavi glances down, then looks back at you with his amazing chocolate eyes. "Y/N, I was wondering-"
"Usnavi!"
Vanessa runs over, then looks between you and him. "Ohhh, what's going on here?"
You quickly let go of Usnavi. "The crowd pushed me over here. I'll go now."
You walk away, and feel Usnavi's eyes on you until you walk behind some people. You go over to the couch and sit down, a headache forming. Why was life so complicated?
You look around, until you see Vanessa dancing with another guy, and Usnavi dancing with a random girl, looking a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, you feel determination run through you. You were going to dance with Usnavi. Vanessa didn't seem interested in dancing with him. This was your chance.
You started making your way through the crowd.
"Usnavi!", you say, hoping that he'll see you and come over to you, so that you didn't have to go all the way over to him.
He turns around, and brightens when he sees you. He politely leaves the lady he was dancing with, and starts walking over to you.
All of a sudden, everything goes black.
"BLACKOUT!", someone yells, and everyone suddenly starts moving around and trying to find their friends.
"Usnavi? Benny?", you ask. You hated the dark.
"Y/N?", you hear. It sounds like Usnavi.
You try and follow his voice, but end up getting lost. You had no idea where in the club you were.
Someone suddenly runs by you and hits your shoulder so hard that you fall forward, taking someone else down with you in the process.
You land on top of them. "Oh geez, sorry-" Is all you can say before the lights flicker on.
You look down and see that you had not only knocked down Usnavi, but landed on top of him. Why Usnavi? Out of everyone there?
You look around, and see all eyes on you.
Uh oh.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

Now, with the beasts defeated and the other races diminished, humanity - having no common foe to fight turned upon itself, for war was in their blood and they again shed their blood in rivers.
