Fic Idea Inspo: IDK You Yet by Alexander 23
Heyyyyyy, long time no see. Kinda want to get back into writing, so let me know what you think of this.
You were Jillian Salvius's project. Well, you weren't; the halo that was shoved into your back was. Jillian was using you and the halo's power to power some secret machine that she was keeping from the world. She also used you to test the halo's limits. How quickly could it heal injuries? What could you do with its powers? Anything and everything that pushed you and the halo to the limit was done every day without breaks. The only time you found sanctuary in the cold lab was in your dreams. When you would see her.
How can you miss someone you've never met? 'Cause I need you now, but I don't know you yet But can you find me soon because I'm in my head? Yeah, I need you now, but I don't know you yet
At first, your dreams were nothing but blank walls or a dark abyss of nothing. A means of escape, relaxation, and nothingness to get over the day's hardship. Until one night, you catch a glimpse of short brown hair out of the corner of your eye. At first, you think you're just imagining it, but throughout the next few nights, you see it over and over again. Until finally you see a silhouette in the distance. It's not much, but it's something. "Hey! Who are you!?" You shout into the void, your words get swallowed by the dark. But you know they heard you, you could feel it. You tried everything you could to reach the person who was standing a few yards away from you, but every time you took a step forward, they got farther away.
'Cause lately it's been hard They're sellin' me for parts And I don't wanna be modern art But I only got half a heart to give to you
The days have been getting harder and harder to deal with. Your body and the halo get pushed to the brink as scientists stand around and watch how you react to they're test, and you don't find sanctuary in your dreams anymore. "Please just turn around! Please..." You beg, another night spent in the void with someone in front of you just out of reach. "Please, I can't take it anymore! I hate being awake and being poked and prodded while people stand around and watch me like I'm some kind of project and not just me. I hate sleeping now because you just stand there and invade my dreams! Just either turn around or leave! I am begging you!" You fall to your knees, tears running down your face. You're tired, you just want to be left alone.
You feel fingers rest against your cheek, softly wiping your tears away, and you freeze. Is this real? You wonder as you look up. You're unable to make out the person's face as they kneel in front of you and start aggressively wiping at your eyes to get the tears out of the way. But once clear, the person is gone.
How can you miss someone you've never seen? Oh, tell me, are your eyes brown, blue, or green? And do you like it with sugar and cream? Or do you take it straight, oh, just like me?
You spend what little time you have alone during the day drawing what the person in your dreams looks like. What color are their eyes? What would they look like smiling? You haven't smiled in months. Then you try to guess other things about their life. What's their favorite drink? Food? How do they like their coffee? You preferred black.
When you dream now, they're closer. Sitting next to you on the ground in mutual silence. It felt nice to be close to somebody who wasn't hurting you. You had tried talking to them, asking them questions, but you never received an answer. Could they hear you? Could they tell what you looked like? Were they talking, and you couldn't hear them?
Yeah, lately it's been hard They're sellin' me for parts And I don't wanna be modern art But I only got half a heart to give to you And I hope it's enough
Another night in silence. You could feel the exhaustion of your body even in your dream state. You were too tired to even attempt to ask the person questions or wonder who they were. "I'm tired. I don't know how much longer I can go on like this." You tell them, not expecting a response. "Ever since I got this halo stuck in me, it's like--" You're cut off as the person next to you immediately jumps up. "What? Was it something I said?" You asked worriedly, did you say something wrong? The person starts making tons of hand movements, clearly trying to convey some message to you, but you can't understand them. They grab your hands, and you freeze again. This is the first time you've touched since they wiped your tears away. They pulled you to your feet before touching your upper back where the halo resided, before motioning to their back as well. You looked confused before realization dawned on you. "Wait, you're like me?" You ask before waking up back in the lab for another day of testing.
How can you miss someone you've never met? 'Cause I need you now, but I don't know you yet But can you find me soon because I'm in my head? Yeah, I need you now, but I don't know you yet
I need you now, but I don't know you yet I need you now, but I don't know you yet I need you now, but I don't know you yet I need you now, but I don't know you yet
"What's happening!?" Jillian yells as a team of scientists are trying to stabilize you. "We don't know, we must have pushed the halo too far." A scientist says as they rush to grab equipment on a shelf. You felt heavy, the world blurring together as it felt like your body was shutting down. You didn't try to fight it; finally, you could be free. You could sleep in the void forever, and maybe the person you see in your dreams every night would be there with you.
Alarms blare through the lab suddenly, bright red lights flash on the ceiling informing every that there was an intruder. "Shit. Keep working on them, I'll be back." You hear Jillian say before leaving the room you're in, leaving the door cracked. You see a bright light outside the door and think to yourself that it's finally over. All the pain and suffering you've endured has reached the end, and you could be at peace. When you catch a glimpse of someone running past the door. Short brown hair.
Suddenly, you're trying your hardest to stay awake, to stay strong. Could it really be? You wonder, praying that your mind wasn't just playing tricks on you. You hear the footsteps that just passed slow down before coming back in your direction. Someone pulls the door open, and there she is. The person you've been seeing in your dreams for the past month, someone like you. You take in as much of her as you can at once. She's beautiful, you think as you finally look into her eyes. They're brown, you think with a smile, with a determined glint in them. Her name comes to you, like you've known her your whole life. "Ava." Your voice cracks out, reaching out a hand for her, hoping she'll grab it like when you were in your dreams. You watch her emotions flash across her face: shock, fear, anger, as she takes a step into the room. And suddenly it all goes black.
