Gusley Oneshots ^v^

Innocent

There was no sound as he made his way toward the cell where his ex-lover was being held prisoner. He wasn't going to risk getting caught. No he wasn't going to get caught if he was to buy time.

The brunette stopped in front of the cell and gazed down at a disheveled looking maiden. She lifted her head to meet his gaze and as soon as they made contact she scowled.

"Why are you here?" She snarled

"To break you out." The brunette simply replied

"Why would you help me?" She said as she raised an eyebrow confused.

The brunette didn't answer and just moved to the cell door while digging in his pockets to find the duplicate key he had sneakily made.

"Don't you think I'm guilty?"

Gusion shook his head as he found the key and opened the door.

"Let's go."

But the one eyed sniper did not move. She just stared at the assassin in disbelief.

Gusion tugged at her arm but she jerked it back "Why?"

"Listen you can stay here and be guilty or run and prove your innocence. Right now no one knows the truth." Gusion sighed as he ran a hand through his hair.

She was still as stubborn as ever. Well that was one of the reasons he had liked about her.

"Why do you believe that I'm innocent?"

Gusion was quiet for a few moments

"This is the only chance you have of escaping. Take it."

Finally the one eyed assassin got up slowly. She stumbled as she got up but Gusion was there to grab her before she could go tumbling down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gusion twisted the doorknob and a gust of wind greeted him. Lesley pulled the hood of her cloak downward to prevent the hood from flying up as they stepped outside.

"Follow this path and eventually you'll meet someone named Claude. He's my friend and he will help you escape." Gusion said pointing to a path that led down a dark forest.

Lesley glanced at the forest and raised a brow "Are you sure he's not going to rat me out or do something to me?"

"Don't worry he won't. He owes me big time and I will personally find him and kill him if he does." Gusion said with a hint of venom in his voice.

"Say..." Lesley whispered

"Hmm?"

"You still haven't answered me." She mumbled

"For what?" Gusion said confused.

"Why do you believe in my innocence?"

Gusion was again quiet.

"Gusion?" Lesley was afraid he would have that cold look on his face. The one he usually wore but nonetheless still turned to face him.

What greeted her was not a face of ice but one with worry and warmth. She felt as if she'd fallen in love all over again.

"You asked me why I believed in your innocence?" Gusion said placing a hand on her cheek.

Lesley bit her lip and nodded her face flushing a bit red.

"Even if the whole world didn't believe you I still would."

"But why?" Lesley asked again

"I still love you." He replied not missing a beat "I know we didn't end off on the best of terms but I still love you. I never let go."

"Gusion—" Before Lesley could say anything a piercing alarm rang throughout the castle.

Gusion grabbed both of Lesley's shoulders and looked into her eyes "Go! I left your rifle with Claude. Don't look back and stay safe!"

Lesley's eye widened as she looked into Gusion's eyes "But—!"

"Go!" Gusion whispered as he turned her around and gave her a light push.

Lesley took a few steps forward before turning back around and quickly giving Gusion a kiss on the cheek shocking him. She then turned and ran not looking back.

"Thank you..." She whispered

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you." A little boy with golden curls materialized in front of the still shocked purple assassin. He took off his hat and bowed to the assassin.

"You know I was going to do it whether or not you asked me to." Gusion said composing himself.

"I still don't like you getting close to my sister." Harley huffed

The brunette chuckled disappearing into the night.

While one flees to survive and find justice for herself; the other offers her his undying love. The fair lady however was not aware of how little time he had left. They're bound to meet again. Such is their destiny.
