Chapter Text
"I'll keep this simple, where is he?"
Soul stood momentarily frozen for a moment.
"I don't what your talking about,"
Fable only smiled, striding the room slightly.
"Come on, you didn't think i noticed the new necklace you've been wearing the last- what 2, 3 weeks?"
The chain on her neck holding the ring felt heavier than normal.
"And it's been rumored around enough who youe dating so I'll ask again. Where is my sibling hiding,"
Soul stood defiant, she was tense but wasn't gonna let him win.
"I have not a clue Fable,"
Fable hummed, gold starting to pool near her legs.
"Right, of course you dont,"
Soul hadn't noticed the gold, focusing on just watching where Fable was moving to.
"So you know nothing? Not a clue where they're hiding? Thought it was looked down upon for knowing where a villian was, let alone one that still has a bounty on their head,"
"I'm not-"
"Then where is he Soul?" The gold has gotten up onto her legs, twisting and keeping her in place.
"I already said i don't know," she tried to move, only to realize the gold keeping her down as Fablt strode closer.
"Something tells me your lying, but there's no proof, not yet at least,"
He was inches away from her.
"But know, if I find your hiding her," the gold twisted, causing a pain to run up both her legs.
"Then your not gonna enjoy the outcome understood?"
"Yes,"

Soul practically ran back to apartment, but also taking the long way around just in case so she didn't get caught. She knew he probably was back at her apartment waiting, they had something planned they were gonna do when she got off of work. Now she was just hoping nobody followed her back, she didn't need anybody to find out.
If the anxiety written on her face gave it away that something was wrong, the fact that her whole body was still tense as she got back to her apartment, trying to keep herself together enough to break. Neth saw her, a smile forming on their face before dropping at the sight as he came over.
"Hey- shadow whats-" Neth began to say as she rested her forehead on their shoulder, her breathing slightly uneven.
"He knows-" Soul got out as she was trying to breath.
"What?"
"H-he knows we're- we're a thing, h-he saw necklace,"
Neth looked down and noticed the chain and ring hanging on her neck, (which did make he smile).
"I need you to breathe love, in and out," They said as she held her forearms, giving her contact to help as she slowly got her breathing back and leaned slightly more onto him.
"Long day?" Neth noticed as she nodded, letting her eyes fall shut for a moment.
"Wasn't that bad, not until the end," her legs still felt sore from the gold but ignored it for the time being.
"You still wanna go out for food or stay here and i can make you something?" Neth pressed a kiss to her head as she pulled back slightly.
"Stay? Fable said you've stil got a target on you and I don't need you getting caught,"
"We can do that light, come on," Neth grabbed her hand and let her to the kitchen.
