Hero let out a startled squeal, fairly loud as they felt their body swaying and legs losing every possible understanding they had of the ground . They felt like they were in math class all over again, where their head alone had an affair with gravity and that was fine because the desk was always there to catch them. Now, Hero wasn't so sure if they liked their connection with gravity at all.
They shut their eyes close tight, so tight that it kind of hurt as they waited for the painful impact.
They felt a touch on their arm not even a second later- soft at first and then firm afterwards, grabbing onto them and yanking them towards whatever it was. They then crashed into something solid and warm?! That was enough of an overload of sensory nerves that made Hero blink their eyes open almost immediately.
They were met with a tantalizing smirk, the same one that would follow them around in their dreams every night.
"You'd never have enough lives if you keep tripping over stairs Hero ."
Hero scoffed, trying to pull away and steady themselves from the warmth that was Villain.
"You're there to catch me anyways, so I know I'll be fine."
Now it was Villain's turn to scoff. "If you think that this is going to happen everytime then you're gravely mistaken. God knows how many times you fall for stairs everyday, if they were a person, you would at least have a lover by now."
Hero finally found it in themselves to whisk their wrist out of Villain's hand, walking back towards whatever class that they had next, a pout playing on their face. "Suit yourself."
After Hero's figure disappeared around the corridor, shy chuckles escaped Villain's lips. Oh how fun it was to rile up Hero and watch them dance.

Villain was making their way towards their Geography class when they heard that infuriating squeal all over again. They sighed, body moving before their mind could even think- how many times did this happen already today?! For the first time in their life, Villain found themselves regretting ever having super hearing because they couldn't ignore Hero, even if they wanted to- it's like their brain was subconsciously looking out for that stupid squeal no matter what Villain did, and the moment they heard that squeal, they dropped everything and rushed towards it. Pathetic.
But they couldn't stop. The horrifying image of Hero's head bleeding after it hit the sharp edges of the stairs would make them go everytime and they just couldn't understand why.
Judging from the proximity of the sound, Hero was somewhere right below them. Villain peeked to the side of the stairs just in time to see Hero already toppling over, their body so close to connecting with the jagged edges. Shit!! I won't make it if I run down the stairs. I have to jump.
Villain did just that, landing right in front of Hero, somehow managing to catch them and not topple down themselves. It was a miracle.
Hero was wedged into their chest again, chucking this time. Huh, now that's new.
"I thought you wouldn't come because you somehow knew."
Villain stared at them, head cocked to the side, a quizzical expression on their face, "knew what?"
"Knew that I fell on purpose this time."
Villain almost pushed Hero down the stairs themselves after that.
Almost.
