 Byron Simmons
"I like you well enough...""Don't talk like that." Actually, maybe he should continue. This was most human Archaeus had ever sounded. It was almost normal. Then again, he was freaking out about being technically a fictional character, so... No. Okay? No. he had to focus. Byron sat down beside the character, a hand on his shoulder. "Archaeus, you will kill yourself if you don't calm down. Real or not, you age so you're living. You can die." He sighed. "And I don't want you to."
He was quiet for a few seconds, then moved his hand down to take the man's. "Besides, you're real to me." Yeah, a real pain in the a**. But still, poor guy. "... so let's skip the romance~" ................................................................................

"Everyday I endure this horrible, painful curse. Forced to mask it all with a smile."

Archaeus looked at Byron when he started to comfort him. He didn't want him to die? He was real to him? The man calmed considerably, simply staring at his friend for a while. His expression turned gloomy. "What am I supposed to do then?" he asked quietly. "I've been living thinking I was a hero that protected people. Now I know that I wasn't even meant to be here. What's my purpose?"

Archaeus stared at Byron with wide eyes at his words of wisdom. So this terrifying confusion of the unknown, the existential question, it was all part of being human? It didn't make him feel as good as it should have, although he was superbly comforted by the fact that even Byron had this confusion. He smiled and nodded. "Thank you," he said.
~~~
A few days had passed and Archaeus had dealt with them each slowly. He was beginning to fully accept the fact that he was... that he was a character in a story that was read to life. It took him a while to remember that the memories he had weren't real and that he had no powers. What he had the hardest time dealing with was not having as nearly as many fans as he'd imagined.
At least Byron had been kind to him. Although Archaeus had to admit he wasn't fond of seeing the man be with the occasional suitor. It was a different discomfort than he normally had, he realized. It wasn't being disturbed and being unable to sleep, he just... hated the idea of Byron with someone. He couldn't explain why it irked him so much, but it did. Perhaps that was part of being human?

Byron Simmons
"I like you well enough..." Byron stood at the door, his hair a tangled mess and robe tugged on haphazardly. He leaned forward, gently pressing a kiss to his guest's lips before pulling away and sighing softly. "Mm, come and visit again soon, Izzy," he purred, one hand moving upwards to touch the man's cheek. "But call ahead, of course. I need to stock on energy before you come~" He laughed lightly, then waved goodbye and shut the door. Running a hand over his hair, Byron walked back towards his bedroom, in need of a shower and real clothes. "Oh so hey, I was thinking that maybe tonight we email your author and see if we can meet up," he suggested, pausing by the teenage fictional character. "... so let's skip the romance~" ................................................................................

Seated from the couch, Archaeus briefly glanced over his shoulder to the kiss. Furrowing his eyebrows and quickly turning away. He's not going to call back, he mentally grumbled, deciding against actually saying this. Why did Byron insist on taking different men to bed with him? He paused. Perhaps it's better like that. He wouldn't know how to feel if there was a reoccurring man in Byron's life. Archaeus slumped forward in his seat, burying his fingers into his hair. Why would that have bothered him so much? Because Byron's the only actual friend he has? No, don't think like that, you'll make yourself feel lonely, he chastised himself.
Archaeus jolted when Byron was besides him, realizing that he had been speaking to him. "What? Oh! My author! My author?" He scratched his chin. "I see... I wonder what he's like. Or her. They must be incredible to make such fascinating stories about me- No. Incredible just for making me! I can picture it now, someone strong! Someone talented in every area! I may not have powers, but surely they must!" he decided with stars in his eyes.

Archaeus pursed his lips at Byron's comment over his attitude, having slowly begun to realize over the past couple days that the man's praise were actually underhanded insults. "Arrogance? It's simply speculation!" he scoffed, trying not to notice the other man's discomfort from moving his hips. Yes, well, after what he'd heard last night this shouldn't have been confusing.
When told about the fanfiction's reception, Archaeus furrowed his eyebrows. "What? You must be reading those comments wrong. Surely my stories are doing well! They have me, after all!"

Archaeus was at a loss for words. Predictable? Stupid? Boring?! "Blasphemy!" he spouted, fists clenched. "They just aren't reading in depth, is all!" He quickly smiled. "But my author defends me because he understands! Come, tell me what he says," he said while holding his chin, expecting well-written and thoroughly thought out responses from someone as smart as his creator.

The fictional character waved his hand dismissively. "Nonsense! I understand that those people writing profanities against my stories my be difficult to read, maybe even cringe worthy, but I'm sure my author's replies will make you feel better! Just thinking about them make me feel better already!"

Archaeus took hold of the phone and was just about to scroll through it when he heard Byron. "Greg...? But wasn't your last visitor named Izzy?" he questioned. Ah, there it was again, that disgusting feeling. A form of anger towards both Byron and those men, an anger he couldn't explain.
Deciding to think of something else, he looked down at the phone, reading the messages. There were lengthy posts that explained how his stories were about a "Gary Stu", to which the author replied that the person didn't even read the story because the character's name was Archaeus Chartreuse. His thoughts exactly! Other people asked about what they assumed to be contradicting plot holes, and his author merely responded with, "lol u just dont get it like i do". Obviously this man was a genius. He was writing incredible works with the knowledge that many wouldn't understand. Incredible. He had to meet his creator and see what wondrous thoughts were in their mind.
