Opposites (A Bro x Ninja Fic AUL)

~I: The Nightmare~

Thank you to lxmon_ for the idea! She inspired me to work on this book!

Ninja's POV

I woke up to some screaming, disturbing the eerie quiet of the ship. It was shocking, because almost nothing was heard in Among Us except for the usual death, screams, and much more. But this was different. It sounded exactly like a friend he had made 3 years ago.

Bro

Why the fuck would he be, number one, up this late at night, and number two, screaming? He wasn't sure wether to investigate it or to just ignore it and fall asleep. It was such a moment in his brain, but his gut kept telling him to go figure out what's wrong with Bro.

Why must I have to decide at literally... erm... I dunno in the morning?

I quickly checked my alarm clock for what time it was. The clock burned my eyes for a second as I attempted to look at it.

2:23 AM

I could tell it was very late. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if Bro had somehow drunkenly decided to Stan himself or cut himself with glass shards. It wouldn't be the first time. In fact, he had lost sleep over the past couple days over... a well... drunk Bro. It was starting to annoy him.

I ain't exactly a party-goer. It is disgusting and weird, and all of the people there make me want to remove my katana and slice all of the people but Bro in half.

Why not bro? It would end a lot of problems.

I decided to give up on sleep and just go to Bro's room. I slowly opened the door, hearing the metal floor creak as I snuck towards Bro's room. I quietly knocked on his door, and heard heavy breathing, as well as slight whimpers.

Why is Bro whimpering?

I banged on the door more, hoping that would wake him up so I could talk to him. I really hope he isn't drunk, or anything like that. Still no response.

Looks like I'll have to force the door open

I have at least 10 years of martial art experience. I'm fairly certain I can open the tough metal door. With a swift kick, I managed to open the door without accidentally knocking it off the hinges. I've got at least a year of experience of doing that. There he was: A bro who was curled up in a ball, whimpering with his hair all messed up. And that's when I knew I must wake him up.

"No! Don't kill me! Don't slice me in half!"

I watched as I saw him swirling around. I gave him a soft punch on the shoulder, and felt him wake up slowly, sweat profusely coming out of his hands. I sat down on the bed and sighed.

"You woke me up, Bro. What's going on? Why were you screaming?"

I could see the bloodshot in his electric blue eyes. I could tell they have been red from crying a lot.

Somethings wrong

"N-nightm-mare... I dreamed...."

It didn't take long for Bro to burst out crying. He normally doesn't do that. Then suddenly, I found myself doing something I don't normally do: I hugged him tight. I don't usually do affection, because I usually find, even platonic, it weird. I could also sense the shock in Bro's eyes as well to my reaction.

"N-ninja.... you didn't need to hug me... I-I would've been fine..."

"No, Bro. You clearly are not fine. Tell me, what happened? What happened in your nightmare? Tell me from start to end."

I was surprised how soft my tone was in my usual harsh Asian accent. Despite having learned English for a year now, I still suck at speaking it.

"W-well... I was in a game, with you as usual... I was doing my tasks, we were alone. I suddenly was in front of you, a-a-and... suddenly...."

That was when Bro started crying even more. I knew what happened next in the dream. I hugged him tight, and said,

"I sliced you in two. It's okay, Bro. I am here, and I would never do that unless I absolutely needed to. Trust me, as a friend. I want to be close to you."

"Y-yeah... you s-liced me in two... what if you are hiding the fact that you are a monster and want to slice me in two?"

Wtf Bro? I'm a good person!

"No! I am not that bad! I may be a powerful ninja, but I would never do that without a true reason!"

"Y-yeah... I know... but.... why would you wanna be friends with a guy like me? I'm a loser..."

I don't know either.

I grabbed his shoulders and turned him towards me. I knew exactly what to say to comfort him further. He shouldn't be thinking such thoughts.

"Because you have an amazing personality that I admire. You give me life to this world."

Even though it was dark, I could've sworn I saw him smile. I saw him looking at me with admiration.

"Hey Ninja! May I ask you something?"

"Yeah?"

Bro seemed to grow a bit red at what he was gonna say.

"In order to keep the nightmares away, can you sleep with me it's o-"

"Yes, anything for you. I want you to be happy."

I quickly laid down and put myself under the covers, snuggling up to his suprisingly warm body. I could feel myself growing extremely hot because of this.

My my, this is crazy.

I could feel him wrap his arms around me, but I didn't budge. Anything to keep his nightmares away.
