~ Crown's pov ~

I got uncomfortable by Tie's presence, so I told him to leave after we had our little fight.

During the fight, I constantly glanced at Napkin.
Was he gonna step in and stand up to Tie for me?
I didn't think so, he was just standing against the wall, watching us fight.

Soon enough, I was more concerned about him just standing there, so I demanded Tie to leave and he did so.

I shut the front door and clenched my chest.
My heart was aching, I was upset.
But I calmed down when I felt big, yet soft hands rest on my shoulders.

I smiled softly and looked back at Napkin.
Suddenly, all my negative thoughts faded away.

All I could think about was him, in that exact moment.

I turned to him and looked into his eyes lovingly.
He didn't return the loving look back but he still looked into my eyes.

He always does that.
And I always found it strange.
But I'm sure it's not a big deal.

Napkin rubbed my shoulders.
"You looked cute while you were shouting, all angry and helpless. " He complimented me.

It didn't feel like a compliment.
But I'm sure he didn't know what else to say.

"Thanks, dear. I just couldn't handle Tie being here. He suddenly comes back when he realizes what he's lost. He completely took me for granted! " I ranted, my voice trembling slightly.

Napkin pinched my cheek.
"Hey, don't cry. You know how I don't like that. But anyway, he shouldn't have barged in like that. He should know that you're mine now. And there's no escape."

I winced and forced a smile onto my face.
Napkin often said things like that, I assumed he was trying to be romantic.
But I always felt somewhat threatened.

"No escape? " I asked.

"No escape. You're mine, Crown. " He smiled sadistically.

I looked to the side and backed away from him. Then looked back up to him.
He's taller than me, maybe 6 inches taller since I'm 5'1.

Tie is 6'2.
I always liked the huge height difference.

Wait, why am I thinking about him?

I shook my head and snapped back into reality.

I looked into Napkin's glissening, glossy green eyes.

"I-I think I'm gonna have a shower now. I feel a little dirty. "
I scratched my neck before heading to the bathroom, I felt a strong stare on me but I didn't think much of it.

I got into the bathroom and closed the door. I winced at the feeling of the cold door handle on my hand.

I ran the water in the bathtub and added some bubbles to the water.
Then started changing out of my clothes while looking into the mirror.

I suddenly looked at the surgery scars on my chest.
I quickly covered them up with my hands and was hit with a wave of dread.

I was already in a bad mood, why did this have to happen?

I shook it off and hopped into the bath, turning the tap off.
I sat in the warm water and basically soaked in it.
I sighed and played with the weightless bubbles.

I moved them around my hands.
Played with them on my fingers.
Blew them into the air.
Caught them before they could fall into the water.
And then squished them.

I sighed. The dread from a few minutes ago still bothering me.

"I'm so childish. "

Finally, I could get some alone time now that Crown was in the bath.

I went into our bedroom and put some shoes on before walking back out and to the front door.

I paused before stopping my hand from touching the door handle.
I couldn't leave Crown here, could I?

I suddenly scoffed.
Fuck him.

I walked out the door and closed it behind me.

I walked on the pavement, heading to a certain someone's house.

It's been a while since I've seen my sweetheart.

I was walking for 10 minutes before arriving to a mansion.

I stood by the front door and rang the doorbell.

I waited a minute or two before someone opened the door.

Fountain pen.

I smiled at him and hugged him tightly.

"Babe! I haven't seen you in forever! I missed you so much!" I said excitedly.

He giggled and hugged me back, patting my head.

His soft hands on my silky hair felt nice, it always did.

"I'm so glad you came over to visit! How's the plan going?" He asked me.

I pulled away from the hug and walked inside, heading to his couch.

"It's going super well. Crown has fallen right into my trap and I'm literally making it so obvious that I'm trying to manipulate him but he doesn't suspect a thing, every single time!" I laughed and wiped a tiny tear from my eye, the situation was amusing.

FP giggled and closed the front door, then sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulder.

"It's good to hear that it's going well. Soon enough, I'll start working on Tie." He informed me.

"Hold on, why are we doing this again? I totally forgot why." I giggled nervously.

FP laughed a bit and shook his head slightly, then sighed softly.

"We're doing this for revenge. Tie never respected me or even noticed that I had feelings for him at work, so now that I'm over him and I have you, this will be flawless and both those fruity bitches will be depressed messes by the time we're done with 'em! Trust me."

He kissed the top of my head and caressed my cheek.

I smiled and put my head on his shoulder.

"Alright, if you say so. I trust you completely~" I let out a dreamy sigh.

FP smiled back.

"I'm glad you trust me. I trust you too, dear."

I purred and stayed there.

FP made me feel safe.

He made me feel protected.

He made me feel loved.

He made me feel wanted.

He gave me comfort.
