(Y/n) pov

'I though being dead counted as sleep why was I so tired' I thought as I sat up from my bed

"you're awake" I hear Jericho say

"Yeah" I say looking at her sitting on the floor against the wall with Ban sleeping on her shoulder
"Jericho you're human right?" I ask after a moment of silence

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure" she answered

"Dang" I say

"What do you mean?" She seemed confused

"Just that humans don't have a long life span... I was starting to like you but I don't want to get to attached" I say quietly

"Oh... was Danny human? I keep hearing about him but I don't know what happened... you don't have to tell me I know it's a sensitive subject" she says curious

"He was human, my bestfriend from when I was still mortal and my husband for a few hours before he tried to kill me" I explain but nothing I said seemed to make me sad because of how many times I've already told that story to my dead friends.

"He tried to kill you?!" She yelled quietly to not wake up Ban.

"someone tricked him into thinking I was the one that murdered everyone in the (l/n) kingdom" I tell her,

"(L/n) kingdom?" She raises an eyebrow,

"That's where I grew up, I'm not surprised you've never heard of it" I say,

"So how did you meet Ban?" She asks after a few minutes of silence.

"About twenty years ago He tried to rob me" I laugh slightly,

"What?!" She shouts waking up Ban,

"You're awake" I say,

"What are you talking about?" Ban yawned,

"I was telling Jericho how we met" I say,

"How I tried to rob you but decided to stop you from jumping then got thrown in jail?" He asks,

"I only got to the part where you tried to rob me" I tell him,

"What do you mean you stopped her from jumping?" Jericho says,

"Oh I... tried to kill myself" I say quietly,

"Why?" She asks,

"I'm just to weak to handle anything that happens to me" my voice stays quiet,

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Jericho asks and I shake my head.

"Sorry I just don't normally talk about that part of my life and I barely know you" I tell her,

"I understand" she replied then it got quite for a long moment.

"(Y/n), Can I... can I talk to you?" Ban asks me then looks at Jericho.

"...I'll go check on zhivago" she stands up and walks out shutting the door behind her.

"What?" I ask quietly as my heart beats faster and I see Bans eyes watering.

"I... I think I can kill you" Bans voice shakes,

"Really?" I try to smile but for some reason it hurt to hear him say it.

"I just need at least one more week with you" he starts to cry,
"One week with just you and me, no reviving anyone and no getting drunk" he says looking at the floor taking a few deep breaths then looks directly at me.
"(y/n), I love you more than anything I just want you to be happy even if your happiness isn't with me" he looks back down letting his tears hit the floor. I get out of bed and wrap my arms around him.

"Thank you" I tell him not being able to say anything else then he hugs me back a little to tight.
"B-ban" I say after a long moment.

"I know, I'm sorry I just don't want to let you go right now" he tells me and I can hear my own heart beating faster.
"I hope you know how much I love you. all the times your smile made my heart race, I always thought your cooking was a thousand times better than mine, I love how happy you look when other people enjoy you food. I loved being able to hold you whenever you got sad, even though I hate seeing you like that, no matter how cute you look, and yesterday when I saw you all I wanted to do was take you somewhere where no one could could possibly hurt you but then I realized there was only one place that wouldn't hurt you even if I can't go there myself." Bans tears soaked my shoulder.

"Ban, twelve years ago when I told you that I was leaving the sins to find Endarah. I really just needed a break from seeing you everyday because every little thing you did made me fall  even more in love with you but I couldn't imagine you ever wanting to be with me." I tell him,

"twelve years ago I was so confused I didn't even have all of my memories of you back I only only had enough to not sound like a complete idiot whenever we talked about the (l/n) kingdom. I didn't know what the feelings I had for you really meant, but I was almost always happy when I was with you I was an idiot to think of you only as a friend." Ban tells me,

"Oh so you wouldn't have been able to kill me then" I say,

"I wouldn't have been able to kill you for more reasons than that (y/n)... but now that I'm fully aware of my feelings for you... it hurts more to see you cry, I want to be with you but if you don't want to be here and you staying here is going to cause you more pain then I'll let you go" Ban crys more,
