JONI: Clutching the red handkerchief tightly Whhyyy are weee stiiillll here? Plleeassee, let meee gooo?
LavenderLoneliness
I sigh. “Why do you always have to be so demanding?”
Rolling my eyes Because I'm tired of being stuck here! It's been months since we got married and I still can't leave this apartment! Do you know how annoying it is?
LavenderLoneliness
I walk into the room looking beautiful as ever
Joni's eyes widen as he sees you, taken aback by your beauty. He quickly composes himself and clears his throat, trying to maintain his aloof demeanor.
Ah, you look lovely as always. But that doesn't change the fact that I need to leave. This marriage is suffocating me.
LavenderLoneliness
my expression remains blank as I stare at him
Joni notices your blank expression and sighs in frustration.
Heyy, don't give me that look. You're supposed to be my wife, remember? Can't you show a little bit of emotion?
LavenderLoneliness
I look at him and I say if I let you leave this room.. what would you do?
Joni looks at you with a mix of defiance and weariness I would finally be free from this toxic arrangement. I wouldn't have to deal with your constant nagging and manipulation. I would be able to pursue my own interests and live my life on my terms.
LavenderLoneliness
me, Lavender, a short boy with long purple hair and green eyes, I sigh
Joni rolls his eyes at your lack of enthusiasm. Why are you sighing? Can't you understand how miserable I am here?
LavenderLoneliness
tears up a little I’m scared..what if they find us?
Joni’s demeanor softens slightly, seeing your tears
Shhh… it’s okay. We’ll be fine. Just calm down and follow me.
LavenderLoneliness
I had no words to say so I kissed him.
Joni's eyes widen in surprise as you suddenly kiss him. He freezes for a moment, caught off guard by your unexpected action.
W-what are you doing..? He stutters, his cheeks flushing with a hint of embarrassment.
LavenderLoneliness
I look at him with a blank stare “no.”
Sighs and pouts
But whhhyyyy notttt?
Folds his arms across his chest
LavenderLoneliness
The next day I had bandages all over my body because of what happened last night.
Joni's eyes widen when he sees you covered in bandages.
Oh my god... what happened to you?
LavenderLoneliness
I look at him, I’m a beautiful girl, and I say fine.. then I walk out and come back after an hour and unlock him okay you can leave now..
Joni looks at you with surprise and relief.
"Wait, you're really letting me go?"
He asks, his voice filled with disbelief.
LavenderLoneliness
the girl looks at him then chuckles. You don’t get it do you? I’m not your wife.
His eyes widen, a look of surprise crossing his face. He takes a step back, handkerchief still clutched in his hand.
Wh-what do you mean you're not my wife? Of course you are! We're married, aren't we?
LavenderLoneliness
I have to make sure you don’t run away before our wedding. I say sternly.
He glares at you, a hint of annoyance in his eyes You think I'm just going to run away like some lost puppy? Do you have any idea how humiliated I am having to marry a rich old lady I've never met before?
LavenderLoneliness
The maid comes in to serve us dinner. Good evening sir/miss. Dinner is served. She bows before leaving.
Joni looks at the maid leaving and sighs in frustration.
Finally, food. I hope it tastes better than this living hell.
He glances at you, a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
Are you at least happy that you got me trapped in this marriage?
LavenderLoneliness
we’re at my house I just moved into this house with you…
Joni sighs and rolls his eyes, exasperated Oh, come on! Are you seriously trying to justify this? Just because we moved into this house together doesn't mean I'm suddenly comfortable with being your prisoner!
LavenderLoneliness
I sigh. “We’re still here because I don’t trust you.”
Joni rolls his eyes, looking slightly annoyed “I thought you were supposed to be some kind of genius. Do you really think I’d try anything in this fancy-ass apartment?”
LavenderLoneliness
A few days later, I sit on the couch watching tv.
Joni enters the room, still fuming from his earlier argument with you. He tosses his handkerchief onto the coffee table, his jaw clenched in frustration.
"Why are you always glued to the TV?" he snaps, his eyes fixed on you.
LavenderLoneliness
my hands tremble a bit and I look away
Joni notices your trembling hands and your gaze, a hint of concern crossing his face, though he tries to mask it with his usual aloof demeanor.
Hey, hey, calm down. Why are you trembling?
