There is a point to these random, short chapters. I promise. You may not see it now, but... You will. I promise there is a point to them xD

"Hey Ridge!" The ginger haired demigod smiles his gapped-tooth smile as he lands, his coat lifting slightly as his feet touch the ground.

"Hello Parvis." He walks over to where I stand in my garden, bundles of wheat in hand. "I see your farm is doing well."

I nod. "Yea! And the villagers are doing great too!"

He chuckles. "Oh yea? I'd love to see it."

"Okay!" I run forward, jumping wildly into the air. Ridge flies next to me, grinning.

Once inside Castle Parv I lean against the altar and watch Ridge fly around, looking at the villagers and checking on the doors. "It looks good, Parv."

"Thanks. I made sure Will didn't go anywhere near it after you fixed it. He wasn't very happy about you fixing it, but I'm almost one of the most powerful people here! I could be as powerful as you, Ridge!"

He raises an eyebrow. "Oh? I didn't know blood magic was that powerful. I'll have to look into it." We talk about how I started blood magic and I show him the runes that I use to keep the witches downstairs alive. He looks surprised and I explain what each of the runes does, and about the different runes you can make to do different things. We end up outside again as I show him the runes Will and I set up to fertilize the farm.

We climb back up out of the hole I made under the farm and Ridge brushes some dirt off his jacket. My black Area 22 shirt is filthy, covered in dirt and blood. "Do you ever feel like the days are repeating," Ridge asks, looking at the sun as it dips below the horizon.

"What do you mean? Like Deja Vu?"

He shakes his head. "No, more like-" The ground shakes violently, Ridge's eyes going wide in alarm. "Oh shit- I gotta go!" He disappears in a flash of gold, leaving me alone.

I'm not alone for long, Will showing up just as the sun has nearly set. "Strifeykins! You're early!" I throw my arms around his neck and smoosh our lips together. He grins into the kiss, resting his forehead on mine when I pull back.

"Yea, didn't get any sleep last night but I think it was worth it." Pressing our lips together again I smile when his tongue brushes against my bottom lip. I eagerly open my mouth, our tongues twisting together, Will's hands moving to rest on my hips.

We pull back, breathless. "I love you."

A smile tugs at Will's lips and he presses a soft kiss to my cheek. "Love you too, Parvis."

My heart flutters in my chest and I pull Will close to me. He doesn't say that often. "A lot?"

He chuckles, his breath hot against my neck. "Yea, a lot." I bury my face in Will's neck, breathing in his scent, oil and machines and sweat, but something sweet that I still can't place. "I should start saying that more, shouldn't I?" I shrug, pressing little kisses to his skin. "Parv," He sighs.

I grin and press myself closer to him, loving the effects I have on this man that is practically melting in my arms.

Will pulls back slightly, brushing his nose against mine. I look into his jade green eyes, seeing something that fills me with warmth. "You don't need to say it, Will. I think it's pretty obvious. No one can resist my Parvy charm."

He raises an eyebrow. "Your Parvy charm? Is that what you're calling the drugs now?"

I look at him, confused. "Drug? I didn't drug you, Strife." I press a quick kiss to his lips. "/You/ were the one who kissed me, remember?"

"You aren't going to let that go, are you?"

"I haven't brought it up since before the separation," I say, wondering how Martyn is doing.

"Really? I could have sworn you've brought it up," He trails off, shrugging after a moment. "I'm glad I did though," He mutters against my lips.

I grin, allowing him to part my lips once more. "Hey Will, can I see more of your spots?" He moans into my open mouth.

"I /know/ you've said that before." Will's hands start to wander. Something about this feels oddly familiar, Ridge's comment about the days repeating suddenly popping into my head. Will rubs up against me and I let myself forget about it, at least for a little while.
