Dragged Into the Darkness [Leysos & Damiann47]

The trip was to be expected; she did live off-campus after all, and Jeremy still wasn't completely in shape. He certainly was trying, though, but even a long walk such as this still tired him out. Things like this really made him want a car or a bicycle or something, and the stairs leading up to her apartment didn't help either. "Not like I was," he replied back to her with a slight chuckle and smile, pulling his legs up each step.

Rena opened the door after warning it wasn't much. Still, it was probably better than the tiny living space Jeremy had to deal with in the dorms.

Honestly, though, Rena was right. The state of her apartment seemed to be about as carefree as the girl who lived in it at least. Jeremy chuckled, really not sure what else he expected from her as he plopped onto her couch. "Don't worry about it, I'll try not to judge too harshly since this is you we're talking about," he teased. If this would have been a month ago, he would have tried to keep his mouth shut and stay polite around her, but he was sure that Rena would appreciate the joke. She wasn't sensitive like that.

Jeremy did wonder why she brought him here, though. If they wanted to game or something, why not just stay at the library? If they wanted to eat, there were several restaurants around town that were probably better than either of their cooking. Was this a way of her showing him her trust or something? Of course, there was still the possibility that she was up to something else. He didn't entertain that possibility very much because it was still unlikely.

"I hope you didn't bring me over to clean or something," he said with a chuckle, hoping to keep up a lighthearted tone. There was the possibility that she'd actually make him clean due to saying something like that, it was fine with him. The place, while it might have been untidy, wasn't a complete mess. Besides, helping her was something he'd actually want to do anyway.

Finally getting back into the swing of things. Should have something up later tonight.

The never ending story

Your first mistake was posting something serious in spam.

Rip thread.

I can fill in the holes on my own, but it was a good post! Sorry if I intimidated you with my first post after the time skip. I've been trying to push myself to write a lot more lately.

It might take me a while to reply, btw. My dog passed away today and I feel horrible.

Tis fine; take your time and enjoy.

Ooooooh. I'm at least willing to hear you out on this one, if you think Rena could handle the ensuing shock of "holyshitit'smagic"

Go ahead and post for now, as I'm sure something's bound to happen. We'll take it as it comes and see what happens.

Well, Rena is pretty spontaneous... though believe me, I agree as much as you do. A relationship isn't something I'd like to rush either, I just thought that Jeremy wouldn't have the courage to show his magic to anyone he didn't trust completely.

I can still make it work, though. He's become somewhat of a risk taker now, and it's not like he's suspicious of her or anything either.

Hmm. I wonder if we should have made the skip longer, then... I was just going to have the attacker make Rena choose between leaving Jeremy behind or sticking with him, and it's because of who the attacker is that I honestly can't see her sticking around for him unless she saw him as way more than a friend.

Is she going to confess to him at her house? Because I had an idea regarding that. Jeremy decides to show her his magic and explain his situation to show his trust and reciprocal feelings, and that would be what attracts the people who are after him.
