The Unwanted Encounter (Ash Lynx x Reader)

25) Execution of the plan

Yut Lung quietly led you to the basement of Golzine's mansion where he kept Ask locked. As anticipated, there were guards but Yut Lung swiftly took care of them by using the art of acupuncture on them. With his aesthetic looking pin he wears in his hair, he took out the needle out of it and swiftly put the guards down, like he did with Eiji.

You entered the basement and saw the gruesome scenery of Ash being hung by chains, which clasped his wrists tightly. He wore a classy looking white colored botton op shirt and black trousers, which were torn up by what seemed like torture. Blood dripped down his neck as his blonde hair were completely disheveled. On the other side, you saw Ibe and Max tied op to a pole with chains around their waist.

You ran over to Ash and called out his name, one, two, three times, but the blonde was deep in thoughts as he kept mumbling inaudible sentences.

"Ash, wake up. It's me" You said as the blonde started shifting from his position he was standing in as both of his arm hung up by chains. He finally gained enough consciousness to realise where he was. As soon as he jolted his eyes back open, you saw a scared sight in his eyes.

You stepped closer towards him as you brought your hand to his right cheek, cupping it. You put your forehead on his and looked at him as you gently stroked his cheek with your thumb. "Hey, it's me, it's y/n. I'm here Aslan." You said, waiting for him to fully gain his senses and consciousness.

"Y/n, you didn't leave me." Whispered the blond as his jade like eyes sprung back to life, but the dulness still visible in them.

You brought your other hand to his cheek, holding him in a tight embrace, as if you had all the time in the world, as if you were just at home, as if your life was normal. "Why would i ever leave you, Aslan. Didn't i promise you that i'll always have your back, no matter what." You said, giving him a soft smile.

"Not a lot of people kept promises they made to me." Said the blonde as he slightly relaxed by your touch.

You softly chuckled and put his golden lock behind his ear so you could see his face more clearly. "Hmm, i know. But you're special to me." You said. Ash looked at you surprised, and you looked even more surprised than him when you realised what you said. Both of you stared at each other, not knowing what to say next as your face heated up, you could feel the point of your ears burning. Until someone's fake cough brought both of you out of each other's trance.

You let go of his cheeks and turned your face to the doorway, where Yut Lung seemed to be eavesdropping on you as he kept a bored demanour on. "Didn't i tell you to wait till i took them all out?" Scolded Yut Lung you as you noticed a slight bruise on his face, which you assumed was there because of the fight that one guard put up. You would in normal circumstances help Yut Lung out, but knowing that Ash was just a few meters away from you, kept making you even more nervous. So you immediately made your way to him since you knew Yut Lung was trained enough to put up a good fight with Golzine's men.

"Umm, sorry about that. Got a little impatient." You said as you scratched the back of your neck. Yut Lung rolled his eyes andeyed Ash as he noticed the state he was in; tired, slumped, exhausted.

"You sure are though. That Arthur character must really hold a great grudge against you" Said Yut Lung as he smeared something on Ash's neck.

"What are you doing here? Don't touch me!" Said Ash as he tried shifting from his position, but the chains held him back.

"It's just some ointment." Defended Yut Lung as he put an ointment like substance on the deep cut  located on Ash's neck. You went over to Ibe and Max and shook their shoulders to wake them up from their slumber.

"Where are the men on watch?" Asked Ash as he uncomfortably let Yut Lung smear the substance on his neck.

"I put them to sleep." Explained Yut Lung.
