[ WP ] The Villain has accidentally drank a love potion that gave them a serious crush on the hero . Desperate to maintain their dignity , and knowing that the crush is fake , they do their best to hide it . This is much harder than they originally anticipated .

Water drips from above onto our hero's face. 
 
 It breaks itself across his toughened and defined jaw, shocking him awake. The dull despair around him was reminiscent of his home planet, which got destroyed. Just so you know. He hacks up some phlegm and squints, as a TV shines itself awake. 
 
 `` Hello, Alien-mate,'' it says, smooth and tastefully. 
 
 `` Christ,'' Alien-mate replies, his thick Australian accent fluttering the heart behind the TV. `` Where the fuck am I?'' 
 
 `` No need to swear,'' the voice says, small giggles holding the hands of his words as they prance out his throat. `` I just want to give you a challenge.'' 
 
 A spotlight illuminates everything. Alien-mate is alone in an empty circular room. Dark moss is hanging off the sides of the walls. He can see inside a chamber connected through a gate door, but not clearly, the darkness inside is too grand. Alien-mate looks back at the TV as a shadow figure emerges. 
 
 `` Jiggsaurus!'' Alien-mate exclaims before providing further context, `` The dinosaur-and-puzzle themed Villain!'' The facepaint on Jiggasaurus thoroughly tantalized visage cracks around his lips. `` I should have known it was you!'' 
 
 `` How?'' Jiggasaurus asks, a little plead to his voice. 
 
'*Shit, *' Jiggasaurus' internal monologue thinks.'*Am I coming off too needy? I do n't want to be, like, the only person kidnapping him.'' 
 
 `` You're the only person who kidnaps me!'' Alien-mates delicious voice booms. 
 
'*Oh no, no, we're that guy in his life. The'You up?' at 2:44 on a Friday night kinda guy. You promised me we'd never be that kind of guy!' The monologue says to Jiggasaurus, who had sweat dripping down the side of his face.'*Be cool, relax. We're normally not like this. Play it cool. *' 
 
 `` Thank you for the compliment,'' Jiggasaurus says, `` But I guess that happens when you're as talented as I!'' With a flutter of his arms, he flails them high above himself in a fervor of jazz hands, before finally posing, arms high and hands curved upwards. 
 
 *'Alright, tone it down.'* 
 
 Alien-mate smiles. `` I do like the showmanship.'' 
 
 `` What?'' Jiggasaurus says. 
 
 *'What?'* The monologue mimics. 
 
 `` You're always the best one to get captured by, hey. All the others, do n't get me wrong, they're good lads and lasses, but they do n't put in as much effort as you do.'' 
 
 *'Foul Succubus!'* 
 
 `` Do not distract me with flattery!'' Jiggasaurus yells. `` In the other room awaits your doom. A marvel of evolutionary development, whos only weakness was a global catastrophe. Now, reborn, remolded, resurrected. The Velicoraptor.'' A high pitched shriek came from the darkness. Alien-mate gulped. 
 
 `` Alright, so, what's the puzzle?'' 
 
 `` You have five minutes to break from the bonds around your feet and arms and escape. As simple as that. After five minutes, the gate will open, and the beast will be free.'' A smirk blooms on Jiggasaurus' face, as he presses down on a big button in front of him. 
 
 -Five Minutes- 
 
 *'I ca n't wait to see him get out of this one.'* 
 
 Alien-mate sighs and glances around himself. He breathes in deep and closes his eyes. `` How long have we been doing this for mate?'' 
 
 Jiggasaurus takes a step back and thinks for a moment. 
 
 -Four Minutes- 
 
 `` About fifteen years or so, I'd say.'' He responds. 
 
 `` That long, huh,'' Alien-mate says and opens his eyes. `` Time flies when you're having fun,'' He smiles again and continues to look around the room. 
 
 `` Well, I've been having a good time,'' Jiggasaurus says, a small glimmer of joy erupting in his heart. 
 
 -Three Minutes- 
 
 `` Yeah, not gon na lie, I do n't see myself doing anything else hey,'' He nods his head a few times lightly. `` Is n't that a bit depressing?'' 
 
 *'What does he mean by that?'* 
 
 `` What do you mean?'' 
 
 -Two Minutes- 
 
 `` Do n't be insulted mate,'' Alien-mate says, a little breathless. `` This is all I've done with my life. Look, I know, I saved a lot of lives, and I made the world a better place. But I'm just going in circles. Endlessly, over and over and over, and mate, I know you think you have me trapped here, but I've been trapped inside my bloody head for years.'' He looks up at the roof and waits. `` When I woke up, I thought I was back home. On my planet. I miss my family, man. I'm just so alone.'' 
 
 -One Minute- 
 
 *'He's dead. There is no way he has enough time left.'* 
 
 -Forty-Five Seconds- 
 
 *'Alright I know I was on your side before, but seriously, ignore the feelings in your head. They're not real; I know they're not, you know they're not.'* 
 
 -Thirty-seconds- 
 
 *'Fifteen years we've been trying to kill him. Here is our chance. Do n't ruin this.'* 
 
 -Fifteen-Seconds- 
 
 `` If you do n't want to be alone, I could spend some time with you.'' 
 
 The door opens up. The screech inside rings like thunder. Its claws pound against the ground, scratching and marking the surface underneath with every step forward. 
 
 Alien-mate thrusts both his arms to his side, shattering the bonds instantly like they were glass. He looks at the TV screen. 
 
 `` I'd appreciate that, mate.''
