Icarus Laughed Novels & Stories

The usual playfulness in his gaze wasn't there as well. “You truly are one unfortunate bastard!" Iris said to Lucien and continued to laugh. I didn't get what the joke was about so I kept quiet. Lucien on the other hand seemed to get the joke because he rolled his eyes and dumped his cup of coffee in the sink. “Fuck off, Iris," Lucien said to Iris as he pulled out a seat for himself. "Are you going to let me in on the joke or should I excuse this bromance?” I asked both of them, if they weren't going to tell me then I might as well have my breakfast in the living room.

Ivan joined her. “What is funny?”, Dylan asked curiously. Iris began talking, “It is…it is just that…”, she burst into another round of laughter. Cleopatra grew impatiently curious, “Let me in on it, it is not funny…” Ivan laughed even more, “Of course it is not, why would it be funny?, the joke is on you” Iris turned to her, “What exactly where you doing?” “Dancing with Prince Cedric”, she answered.

The loss of love was crushing him. Ghostly laughter echoed around the room. Lucian looked up hopefully; his shoulders slumped in dejection. No one was there, it was only his imagination, his hope that she would come back. How pathetic he had become. Lucian slowly rubbed his finger down the smiling face in the picture. Even though her lips smiled, her eyes looked haunted.

His presence carried that heavy weight, but there was amusement dancing in his dark eyes. He continued laughing, slow and deliberate, I could’ve sworn that he knew exactly what he was doing to rile me. I clenched my fists, forcing my voice steady despite the heat crawling up my throat. “What’s so funny to you?” I demanded, trying to keep my anger in check, my tone cold. Alaric finally stopped laughing long enough to talk, brushing a stray dark strand of hair away from his forehead as he looked at me with entirely too much amusement. “I’ve just…” he said, shaking his head, still smirking, “I’ve never seen Isabella that angry. And that uncomposed. It’s honestly… hilarious.”

I moved, but Demetrius stopped me. “I will be fine, you can support your father in fighting the remaining accomplice of Icarus.” I patted his back and started running back into the woods. Icarus was breathing heavily and cowardly. I straightened my hands to his legs and he stumbled on an invisible rock and fell, rolling on the dry forest rustled leaves.

Marcel felt like he is a god while the two of them are sinners who asked for his forgiveness. Marcel's laughter erupted like the cackle of a maniac, wild and unrestrained. His eyes grew wide with mirth as he threw his head back, clutching his stomach as if in pain. The sound echoed through the room, filling it with a sense of chaos and unpredictability. It was a laugh that sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it because it was clear that Marcel was not in his right mind. As the laughter subsided, he looked around with a twisted grin on his face.

He should have known Lief is always around the corner, preventing him from fulfilling his purpose. Elara was happy to have her friends with her. They played tag with the butterflies for a while, running around and laughing as they chased after the colorful insects. Everyone was laughing but Icarus, who was giving little to no effort to catch the butterflies. He was walking instead of running, and rolling his eyes every chance he got. Soon, Lief and Icarus began to argue. Icarus wanted to do something more exciting, something wild. He wants Elara to embrace the rush of adrenaline that comes from doing something crazy. “Icarus, can’t you see that the little one is having fun?” Lief said, his v

Icarus lifted his eyes to look at her, his pupils were red, "Don't try to act dumb, Kiara. You know exactly what I am talking about." Kiara stumbled back a little, the look in his made her feel far more unsafe. She clutched her skirt and looked away, "I don't know what you are talking about." “You don’t know what I am talking about?” Icarus said calmly before smashing the glass on the floor. He stood up from his seat and screamed, “You fucking don’t know what you have done?”

"You b*tch, how dare you." Maria started to laugh out loud making everyone look at her like she was a mental patient. "What revenge are you talking about, Huh." she mocked. "Have both of you ever thought that why his wife was with your husband in that car, hmmm." she smirked. "Shut up, what are you talking about." Icarus roared getting near them. He held her hair and pulled it harshly. "Look, girl. You are already getting punished for someone else's stupidity. Don't make me do anything worse with you." he roared near her face but she jerked her head out of his grip.

and she knew it was a lost battle. There was a brief silence before Elara burst out laughing. It wasn’t a small chuckle. But rather, a full, unrestrained, genuinely amused laugh that filled the room and shattered whatever composure Evelyn had left. “Oh my God...” Elara gasped between breaths, clutching her side slightly as she laughed harder. “Did you really just...” Lucian’s lips curved faintly as he looked at her, the coldness in his expression melting into warmth and indulgence.
