Elliot paced around as the clock ticked down to the next round. The next killer was going to be Azure, which meant things weren’t going to be pretty between Two Time and their ex. God, he remembered what happened last time between the two, many questions that were left in between them, and how Two Time looked after the round. They were left for last man standing, where Azure rushed to where they were. It only went downhill from there.
As the clock reached one second, Elliot prayed that his friend would be okay, physically and mentally.
Two Time was horrified at the thought of facing their ex once more. Past memories floated through their mind occasionally of him, but seeing him in person again would make them spiral into a never ending nightmare of guilt. As the round started, they didn’t place their ritual down and sat in a corner instead. They couldn’t imagine stabbing Azure again, as they remembered the pain in his eyes as he smiled for the last time.
“I love you.”
Tears rolled down Two Times face as they recalled all that had happened to them. It was all their fault, they would’ve still had Azure if they hadn’t been so foolish. And all of that for what? A second life?
Their thoughts were interrupted by heavy footsteps getting closer. They looked up, into the eyes of Azure.
“We meet again, My Nightshade.”

elliot!: guys has anyone seen two time?
elliot!: I don’t see their ritual anywhere
ladyluckwantstokillme: i haven’t either
ladyluckwantstokillme: also has anyone seen the killer????
wearesocooked: I saw them with the killer, but they didn’t look like they were in the best condition :(
elliot!: shit.

“We meet again, My Nightshade.”
Two Time’s eyes widened in shock as they processed what Azure had said.
“You- You remember me?” They said, their voice shaky.
“Of course I would. After all, who wouldn’t remember their ex lover?” Two Time swore that hurt flickered in Azure’s eyes for a second before returning to a hateful gaze.
“Azure I…” Two Time couldn’t finish their sentence. There were so many different things that they could say to him, but nothing slipped out.
Azure’s hand lifted Two Time’s chin up and Two Time gasped in surprise.
“It’s weird how I’m even wasting my time talking to you right now. Hell, I could’ve killed at least two people by now.” Azure noted, moving his face until they were inches apart from eachother.
Two Time flinched at the action, trying to take in what was said. Azure had been their lifeline, and guided them through their everyday lives before being forsakened.
Kisses shared under the moonlight, jokes and laughter even when life got extremely challenging, Two Time could only wonder why Azure had even liked them to begin with.
Azure’s voice broke the silence.
“You know, maybe we could talk some other time My Nightshade. For now..” One of Azure’s tentacles had sneaked around Two Time as they were thinking, and stabbed their back.
Before Two Time fully died, Azure leaned in and whispered into their ear.
“It really is a shame that you had to die. See you again, my dear?”
• • •
Two Time respawned in the survivors cabin and took a seat next to Taph, who wasn’t put into the round.
“👎⭕️❔” (bad round?) They asked the cultist, who just sighed and looked away.
“Yeah, didn’t go as planned.” They choked out a bitter laugh. “At least I died first, so I don’t have to talk to him again.”
“❔🫵➕🪻” (what’s up with you and that purple guy?) Taph pointed out curiously.
“Well, “purple guy” was actually my ex that I sacrificed to the cult that I was in. I killed him and gained my second life from that.” Two Time blurted out, praying that Taph wouldn’t find them weird.
“ 🫵 💜🪻❔❌❔” (do you still like him? or no?)
“Yes, I do…” They paused, hesitating for a moment before they continued. “I wish we could start everything over again.”
Two Time sighed and got up, pushing their chair in and quietly walking to their cabin.
“🪻🤍 🫵 “ (but they like you too) Taph muttered to themselves after watching their friend walk away. They had spectated the round and saw how Azure had looked when Two Time was at a loss for words. There was something about him that hinted at the fact that he did like Two Time, even if it was only a bit.
• • •
“FUCK!” Elliot screamed as he watched Two Time die. Footsteps echoed around the building and he heard a familiar voice.
“Elliot! Are you okay? And did you find- oh.” Chance had walked up behind him, only to see Two Time’s mutilated body lying on the ground.
Azure stood nearby, but didn’t make any move to step closer. After a few tense moments, he spoke.
“How has Two Time been?” He asked, eyes meeting Elliot’s.
“They’ve been okay, I guess, but not everyone treats them nicely.” Elliot looked at the floor, then continued. “Do you know what you do to them? They regret killing you, but seeing you out for blood, specifically theirs, has been destroying them.”
Azure didn’t show any reaction until Chance started speaking.
“Why do you still care about them?” The gambler flipped his coin a few times, waiting for an answer.
Azure didn’t say anything, which made Elliot look up. He studied the killer for a moment, seeing how their face had stopped looking so enraged and more tense, almost as if he were thinking of something he didn’t want to remember.
As the timer ticked down to the last few seconds, Azure mumbled something that only Elliot could hear.
“Tell them that I still love them, please.”

Chance was confused. About how Two Time was doing, about how the next rounds would go, what Elliot had to say, and most of all, his own feelings.
After being betrayed by an old lover, he had learned to not spare a glance at love ever again. Fate clearly had other plans.
And that was how the gambler ended up with feelings for a minimum wage worker.
But, they didn’t know what to do. He had never really been good with feelings, and just let Itrapped guide them instead. He wasn’t even sure what love was, to be honest. Was it the fast heartbeat? The flushed cheeks? The endless thoughts of one person, over and over again? What was it actually?
They didn’t know. So, they set off on a mission to find out!
His first person to interrogate was Dusekkar. The wizard (?) shared a cabin with Taph, which is why it was extremely easy to find. A loud explosion of pink immediately gave their location away.
Chance walked up to the cabin and knocked on the door.
No response.
They tried peeking through the window, but couldn’t see anything.
So, he made the stupid decision of walking right in. What did they find?
Taph sleeping on Dusekkar’s lap, the demolitionist holding a subspace tripmine, unaware of the fact that it could explode at any second. Dusekkar looked up, clearly not amused.
“Oh sh- my bad ummmmm…” Chance mumbled and ran out. Clearly this wasn’t a good time to barge into someone’s intimate moment.
• • •
Sweat dripped down Elliot’s face. It was in the middle of the round, and 1x had been brutally targeting him. There was a minute and a half left on the clock, and Elliot was at 30 hp.
“THIS IS: MASS INFECTION!” 1x called out, and Elliot just barely dodged the attack.
He ended up running into Chance. They noticed that he was losing a lot of blood, so he made the impulsive decision to pick the pizza worker up and run. (yes bridal style I love paycheck)
Elliot’s faced turned a light pink at the touch. Their faves were inches apart, close enough for Elliot to lean up and kiss the gambler. He quickly batted thst thought away and turned bright red. Why was he thinking things like that??? It’s not like he was in love with Chance or anything…
Chance juked the killer while holding Elliot until the round ended.
By the time Chance set him down, Elliot was a blushing mess.
“I- Thank you Chance. You saved me from my doom,” Elliot said, then out a sigh.
Chance looked over at Elliot and flashed his signature grin at him.
“No problem, pretty boy!” He joked, looking away as soon as the words left his mouth.
Taph, who was sitting nearby with Dusekkar, watched during this interaction, and also saw Chance blush with embarrassment.
“❌🗣️✅🏳️🌈👨❤️💋👨…” (just shut up and kiss already…”They mumbled to Dusekkar. Their partner just stifled a laugh and kissed them on the cheek.
“I love you and your humor, Taph.” The wizard said to the demolitonist.
“🥹🫵💙” (I love you too)
Notes:
I need ideas pls help

Chance shut off his phone, sighing and sat on the floor. His roommate (and crush) had left a few hours ago to hangout with Two Time, but didn’t know why he didn’t just walk over instead of texting Chance.
He heard his phone go off on their nightstand, so he got up and unlocked it.

Elliot was getting his nails painted by Two Time, who was focused on perfecting everything. They idly chatted about random topics until Elliot brought up Azure.
“So Timey, you won’t believe what Azure told me!” He exclaimed, and Two Time looked up from Elliot’s nails.
“Huh?” They questioned.
“Well, Azure told me to tell you something.”
“Stop gatekeeping!!! Tell me!!”
“So…Azure still loves you. That’s what he wanted me to tell you. Stop worrying about the past and start living in the present! Maybe things will work out, right?”
Two Time blinked at the latter's words.
“Wha- huh????? He does? Even after everything I did?” Two Time sputtered, extremely confused.
“Yeahhh, why don’t we go back to our sleepover thing!!” Elliot suggested, picking up a sheet with nail stickers on it. He noticed a few star stickers in a corner near a few golden coins, and peeled them off the sheet. Two Time just nodded and grabbed their tweezers to attatch it onto Elliot’s nails.
you’ve been hosting parties—in my mind, i’m working overtime you’ve become my whole world 🎶
Elliot’s phone started ringing and Two Time leaned over to press accept call.
“Hi? Who is this?” Elliot asked, not being able to see the screen or who was calling.
“Hi Ells ^_^ It’s meee Chance!! Ok so where are you man I lowkey miss you and uh come back please ok bye!” They quickly hung up before Elliot could get another word in.
“HU??????????” Elliot’s face flushed and Two Time giggled.
“ELLY HAS AN ADMIRER!!!!! NONE OTHER THAN OUR OTHER TRIO MEMBER???” Elliot playfully smacked Two Time’s shoulder and mumbled a quiet “shut up” before falling face first onto Two Time’s bed.
Being the amazing they that they were, Two Time jumped up and grabbed a pillow to prop Elliot’s hand up.
“I swear if you mess your nails up I will sacrifice you to the Spawn next.”
Elliot laughed and moved his hand away from the blanket.
• • •
Chance messed up. How could he say something like that on call? He was definitely not beating the allegations after that.
They turned off their phone and curled up into a ball on their bed, contemplating what Elliot would think of him now. The words just left them impulsively…
2 rhythmic knocks on his door snapped them out of his trance.
“Huh…” They murmured.
“It’s me, Guest. I need help picking flowers for 7n7. Open up.” The voice answered.
“Ohhh, right……” Chance got up to open the door and stepped outside. “So what are you guys now?”
“Haha, thats a funny question. We are just close friends, but I’m hoping to ask him to be my boyfriend this Valentine’s Day. After Daisy divorced me, she left and I did not date anyone else after that.” He had this depressed look on his face when talking about Daisy, but it flipped to a small smile when he mentioned the former exploiter.
“Oh okay, I think I get it now.” Chance started walking and motioned for Guest to follow them. A few minutes later, they were standing in a field of flowers ranging from nightshades to moonflowers. (Can you guess which one Guest picks)
“So yeah. Here we are!” Chance pointed at the flowers and started explaining their meanings. Guest didn’t say anything until Chance brought up the moonflower.
“So like this flower is called a moonflower and it symbolizes romance, mystery (I think) and *yap yap yap*”
“Oh ok, I will pick this one then. Thank you for your help Chance!” Guest smiles at the gambler, obviously giddy.
“No prob!” Chance called back, ready to start walking back until they remembered their quest. (chapter 3 cough cough) “Hey wait a second Guest!! I have a question!!!!!!”
“Yeah?”
“What does love feel like??? What is it????” Chance felt like an idiot when he said those things, but Guest just chuckled and answered with “It’s different for everyone. I mean, I probably don’t feel the same way for 7n7 that you do for whoever you like, or express it isnt the same ways. I think the only thing that happens to a lot of people is flushed cheeks, rush of blood and fast breathing.”
Chance died. Not really— but he felt like they did. Did he actually like Elliot?? Or…were they…in LOVE with the pizza delivery boy?
“Ok, I will take my leave now. Goodbye- what did you children call it? Ah, right, goodbye rizzler!” Guest called to Chance, walking back to his cabin with 7n7.
Chance stared at the empty space where Guest once stood. Rizzler??? What???? Whatever, it was time that he went back to his cabin anyways. The sun was setting and they wanted to be in their bed before it got too dark.
• • •
Elliot waved goodbye to Two Time and headed back to his cabin. His nails were now red and yellow, with a few tiny white stars decorating the edges of them. Two Time has put a lot of effort into doing his nails, and he should be glad that they didn’t charge him for them.
• • •
yep thats right, let your dreams take flight! watch the line go up, line go up, up, up, up, up, up, until it breaks right through, blows a hole through you! 🎶
Chance let their phone ring for a bit before rolling over and picking it up.
“Hi…who are you……..”
“Hi Chance, it’s me, Shedletsky! I have a question for you!”
“What….”
“Do you know who ate my last chicken? I have no idea-“
Chance ended the call. He was not gonna put up with Shed’s weird behavior today.
They finished their nighttime routine and hopped into bed, wondering why Elliot hadn’t returned yet.
Just as he thought that, Elliot walked quietly through the door. And proceeded to fall face first onto his bed.
“Ells?” Chance called, watching Elliot wince in pain. They got up and helped Elliot up, praying that none of his important bones broke.
“Hiiii…I’m so tired for some reason…” The poor boy only got a few words in before yawning and collapsing onto his bed.
Chance stifled a laugh and walked over to Elliot to tuck him in.
“Good night, Ells.”
