Distraction || Ray x Reader

Escape

Bold = together

It was quite late in the night as Ray left the house. After reading the weird note (y/n) left he decided to meet her. He knew during the day wouldn't work, so he hoped that he read he correctly to meet at night. As he approaches the lone tree, he saw the lone female silhouette sitting on a tree branch. She was singing a song he couldn't quite make out, so he made his way closer.

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be. If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

'So that's why she crammed herself in the library these days' he thought as he approached the girl. He was about to speak up, but he decided against it and just listened to her. If he wanted to, he would eventually join in.

Are you, are you... Coming to the tree? Where dead man called out. For his love to flee

Are you, are you. Coming to the tree? Where I told you to run. So we'd both be free

The ravenette decided to announce his presence and join in on your singing. He read the book before, so he already knew the lyrics. As the (h/c) haired girl turned to look back at him she smiled. She knew he would understand the note, but never thought he would actually join her in singing the eerie song.

Are you, are you...Coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of hope. Side by side with me

They strung up a man. They say who murdered three

(Y/N) POV

"Hey, Ray... I'm ready to talk I guess"

"You don't have to force yourself you know"

"If I don't do it know, I'll never do it, idiot." You said while patting the branch next to you. "Wanna sit up here. It's drier than the grass"

"The things I do just to be nice" he muttered under his breath as he sat next to her.

"So..."

"So?"

"..." the (h/c) was choking on her words as she looked off at the orphanage. It was a dark and cloudy night, so you hoped Ray wouldn't see the struggle on your face.

"I mean I can start first.." he said as he put his hand over yours. It seemed to calm you down as you just sat quietly and stared at him. "I'm helping mom, but the others don't know yet... well we were supposed to talk about that today, but it never turned up."
