A/N: Just a heads up for anyone curious that I really don't like The Darkling and heard about the author (partly?) basing the character on her toxic ex and that's why I refuse from doing any purely romantic stuff for him. This also has Genya in a big role, I hope you don't mind. But I hope you like it!
Prompt: B94. "Oh my god, you like [Name]!"
Warnings: mentions of manipulation, hints of a toxic relationship coming
Word count: 416
Aleksander had been on you for months. Slowly spinning you into his web, flirting with you, finally getting tender looks from you and knowing you're falling for him. He smirked at the thought of kissing you, finally sealing the final lock for you.
He needed you to expand the Fold. Now that Alina had realized his true intentions, he needed a new one to get Alina back, force her to work with him, and you had practically ran into his lap. Alina's other best friend from childhood, who hadn't seen her in years. Perfect.
You bit your lip after a guard left your room after giving you a note where Aleksander invited you to have dinner with him at the evening. You blushed at the thought of you two eating in candlelight, laughing together, holding hands. Then he'd give you a kiss.
Genya saw you staring at the short note, and she ripped it away from you, smirking at you after skimming through it.
"Oh, the General wants to have dinner with you. That's a high honor." she raised her eyebrows suggestively, and you blushed.
"It's just a dinner... maybe something after. Uh. Yeah. He probably-"
"Oh my Saints, you like the General!" Genya exclaimed, interrupting you, trying to suppress her voice breaking and her want to warn you. She didn't want to lose you too, like she lost Alina. The Darkling would kill her if she didn't pursue your growing crush. He was in a bad mood anyway because of losing Alina, and she didn't want to anger him any further. Or worse, hurt you physically in the process.
The Darkling had gotten darker, vengeful, stopping at nothing to get what he wants. He would hurt you eventually, but Genya could just hope that Alina would be there to save you, as much as she hated the thought of Alina trapping herself again.
"Oh shut up." you rolled your eyes and giggled as you snatched the note back. Genya just smiled at you knowingly, trying to hide her pain and fear. Fear of your and Alina's safety. No matter what Alina thought of her now, she still cared about her. You sighed. "Alright. I might have the tiniest crush on Aleksander. But not a word."
"My lips are sealed." Genya nodded and exited the room, leaving you to prepare for your big night with Aleksander, and you couldn't wait.
He couldn't wait either. Soon he would have unimaginable power, and no one could stop him.
