The Goddess of Bad Luck (Pit x Reader x Dark Pit) (Under Editing!!)

10) Dark Pit's Offer

A week later, I found myself pacing around my bathroom. Everything had come undone because of my bad luck and I needed to fix things. The question was how. Looking up, I opened the cabinet holding the box I had found in the remnants of my town.

I tilted the box, so the bottom was facing up. The name Pandora struck me like a sword in the back. And I had found that using a sword wasn't as hopeless as me with a bow and arrows.

"Who is Pandora? And how did she lose her box?" I whispered to myself. That's when I had the idea. "She probably needs this back."

The thought of peace formed in my mind as Blue sneaked his way through the cracked door and hopped on the bathtub ledge. "She's the goddess of calamity, after all. I'm sure she could cure my bad luck... for a price!"

"Blue! Do you know what this means? I'm going to be free!" I exclaimed as I picked the cat up, spinning him around. Blue didn't look slightly phased by my tangent.

I paused, mid-spin as reality hit. "I'm going to need a plan."

Putting Blue, back down, I continued to get ready for dinner. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I had to move quickly. "Come on Blue. Let's get some dinner!"

In the dining hall, I took a seat across from Pit, who was cleaning his bow. "Oh, hi (Y/n)! I think Lady Palutena is almost ready. Or I hope she is. I'm starving."

He always was somehow. "Pit, can't cleaning that wait?"

"No way! I am going right back to training after dinner."

"But you don't usually do that," I pointed out.

"Lady Palutena asked I put in a little extra work," he said before leaning in to whisper something. "She doesn't show it, but she's very paranoid about you-know-what."

"If only I had never mentioned that monoeye," I said under my breath.

"No, we're all glad you did! If Hades is back, we will be the first to know," Pit explained.

"Well, let's just focus on who hasn't showen up," I said, mouthing the name Hades from across the table so Lady Palutena didn't hear us in the other room.

"It's good to see you being positive," he looked up with surprise on his face. Agreeing with his go-lucky mentality must have been a first. "Really good, actually."

"Hey! I'm not doom and gloom all the time," I crossed my arms, only to be unable to re-count one time I had been positive since I got to Skyworld. "Well..."

"You are not, but I know who is," Pit leaned back in his chair, an expression of annoyance on his face.

The sudden realization of Pit being able to talk badly about someone else intrigued me beyond belief. "Who?"

"Pittoo, of course!" he sighed, practically deflating like a balloon at the thought of his other half. "He can be SO ANNOYING!"

I bit the inside of my mouth to keep me from smiling uncontrollably. "Is he that bad?"

"He's just so mean for no reason! How can someone that's supposed to be a copy of me be so different?" he pondered, and I could tell the thought puzzled him as much as me.

"Hey, you don't need to let Pittoo get to you," I placed a hand on his, and almost shuttered at how much I needed to take my own advice. Or at least I did when people were alive to make fun of me. Then I remembered something. "Didn't you bring up that there was a war you fought in a while back?"

"Yeah! The war wasn't that long ago for me, but it would be thousands of years for you," He started. "So, Hades was harvesting souls by rampaging human villages to get them. Naturally, Lady Palutena and I had to stop him. With the three sacred treasures I ended up taking him down in the end. I just don't know how he could return."
