《♡~Garrence One Shots~♡》Watching You Dance
Advertisement
I fixed my pasture as music began to play, echoing throughout the room. The large doors opened, and revealed one of my best friends. She looks absolutely gorgeous... Her brown hair was curled at the bottom, the soft twirls bouncing everytime she stepped. Her eyes glimmered with joy as she walked down the aisle. The dress she had chosen fit her perfectly, and her veil that nested gently in her hair sparkled from the glitter sprinkled in it. She looked beautiful...
I turned to face the groom, who just so happened to be my best friend. He looked... amazing... His hair was gelled in all the right places, his suit hugged the right parts of his body and made him look sharp. His tie complimented his ocean eyes nicely. He looked so handsome... And I was happy for him.
His eyes shined with excitement as he watched Kim walk towards the altar. You could see the love and passion in his eyes... They were perfect for each other, there was no doubt about it.
Tears glossed over my eyes as I smiled at how the two looked at each other. They were both so happy... Garroth had this passionate and loving look in his eyes as he stared at Kim with such admiration. The only thing is...
I wish he looked at me like that...
The tears that fell down my cheeks appeared as tears of joy, but were just in disguise. My heart that supposedly 'melted' was shattered to pieces. I had liked, no, Garroth for years now... And now I was watching him get married.
My grin grew as the two recited their vows, more tears spilling over the corners of my eyes. I had to choke back all of the sobs in my throat.
But I had to be happy for him...

"Alrighty folks.It's that time. Can the wonderful new couple please step out onto the dance floor for the first dance?" The DJ's voice boomed out over the speakers. I froze and turned to the large wooden floor in the center of the room. Everyone applauded as two figures stepped onto the floor, hand in hand with large smiles on their faces.
I watched them step into the center of the floor. Garroth placed his hands on Kim's waist, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Slow music began to play over the speakers as they began to sway and twirl around the floor, staring deeply into one another's eyes.
Tears trailed down my cheeks like rivers as I watched the man I loved most dance with another, staring into her eyes with nothing but love and compassion. I always had dreams exactly like this, but I was always in his arms... Not Kim. I wished I could be there, right next to him. I wish he held me close to his chest and kissed the top of my head gently as we spun around the floor. I would do anything for that...
But... Garroth looked so happy. All I've ever wanted was for him to be happy... Seeing him like this always made me feel so warm inside. I just wish he was this happy with me...
I bit my lip as I swallowed back painful sobs. My entire heart felt like a deep, endless void. It hurt seeing them so happy... It really, really hurt....

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.
8 101World Wonderer
Mari was happily whisking up some butterscotch slice when our story suddenly whisks her into another world. You'd think it'd be the beginning of another classic Isekai adventure, but it soon becomes clear that things won't be so easy...Her nerdy-teenage-genius summoner has trapped her in his room, no one speaks English, and Mari's gut is NOT prepared for a whole new world of bacteria. Can Mari overcome the travel diarrhea, learn a whole new language and escape before she develops Stockholm syndrome? Most of all, can she learn to flourish in a world so different, yet so similar to her own? ****** Author note: This story is written in response to all the unrealistic, plot-armour Isekais out there. I believe that adventures are more fun when there are unexpected surprises and challenges to be had. That said, this is my virgin voyage into writing an ongoing fiction, so please take care of me @[email protected] Constructive critisms, suggestions and typos in the comments would be most appreciated! Respectfully, Mhm

The AI conspiracy brings real life and virtual problems to bare, and Kenneth will be forced to face the things he's tried to put behind him.
