"So... you wanna kill Stolas?" You asked, unsurely.
"Yeah. I'm tryin' not to hurt the others but they're gettin' in my way.." He was stood infront of you while you were sat on his bed, trying to understand his motives.
"So... are you mad?" He seemed nervous and fidgety, like a little kid getting in trouble. You sighed and stood up. "I won't help you." You spoke as you walked to the door. Before your left, your finished your statement. "But I won't stop you."
With that, you left and closed the door behind you.
Striker took a second to process what you'd said. You weren't going to stop him, so surely you agreed with a small portion of his plan. Maybe you hated Stolas, or maybe even Moxxie. He knew that Mox was married, but it still got his blood boiling whenever you interacted with him.
Striker was aware of his feelings toward you, which is why he attempted to keep his plan from you at first.
Striker knew, from the first moment he met you. You weren't a demon, but you didn't fit in with the assholes that we call angels. You were still angelic in his eyes, graceful and sturdy. He hoped to hell that you felt the same, Striker was no virgin, nor was he new to the whole relationship business. But this was the first time he'd really felt like he was in love.
It felt completely out of character, and it confused him. He was supposed to be tough, a HITMAN. But now he'd gone soft all over a pretty girl.
You know what? He was gonna show you whos boss. He was gonna get his tough persona back.
Meanwhile, you'd gone outside to go find Millie and Moxxie. When you finally found it, you only saw Millie. You helped her out of the bear trap and began bandaging her leg as you talked. "Where's Mox?" You asked.
"He went to stop Striker. What's up with you, you seem... off." She answered, followed by a question of her own.
"Millie im sorry.. but I think I really really like Striker.." Millie didn't frown, or lecture you. She simply placed a hand on your shoulder and said, "Im glad your finally trusting relationships again. Go get him." You smiled fondly and finished bandaging her leg.
You quickly rushed back inside and upstairs. You'd already decided that you had to go back on your word and stop him, or the guilt would eat you up.
"Striker, wait!" You called out, causing his to stop and lower the gun. "I know I said I wouldn't stop you but.. I cant let you kill Stolas." You pleaded as you noticed him standing up and stalking towards you. "And whys that? Y/N, come on~ You know the two of us are superior than most of our kind.
And you were so above bowing for a disgusting, rich, pompous goecha, when you could be slaying overlords." He said, circling you.
"Why spend your life serving a family that could care less who you are, when you could partner up with me," He pinned you against the wall before continuing. ",And kill.. The un-killable. Starting with the ones that treat you like a plaything."
You weren't gonna lie, you were struck by his words. You wanted to accept, but you had to have self control.
"Striker-"
"We could be the most dangerous beings in hell, Darling."
"Its... Tempting.." you whispered.
"Been workshopping it." He shrugged, pushing your hand away from your pocket, where your gun was held.
Suddenly, you heard a gun cock from behind Striker. He turned around and you saw Moxxie, holding Strikers Carmine Rifle. "Moxxie! Get out of here!" You yelled, Striker growled and grabbed the gun from your pocket, shooting it at Moxxie. Luckily he dodged and was unharmed.
You pushed yourself away from Striker and instead stood between the two Imps, blocking their way. "Y/N, move." Moxxie ordered, to which you didn't comply. "I cant let you hurt eachother! I don't want you to get hurt Moxxie, but... I don't want Striker to be hurt either." You explained.
Moxxie looked surprised, as did Striker.
"What? But he hurt Millie! And he's trying to kill Stolas!"
"I don't agree with either of those. But, Striker is the first new person I've able to trust since my last two breakups, he allowed me to trust again, and... I cant give that up."
Striker was shocked, his eyes were wide and the gun in his hand was no longer aimed at Moxxie.
"Mox just... Go find Blitzø, I need to talk to Striker."
Despite all the red flags, Moxxie left.
Striker immediately started approaching you while speaking.
"Doll you should have just let me kill Stolas, he's no good." You looked him in the eyes while you tried to find the words you were looking for.
"Listen. I've seen Stolas and Blitzø together, I've seen how they interact, and I recognise it. Stolas is in love with Blitzø. I know how that feels, and I..I...." after that you lost your train of thought, you didn't know what else to say. When you looked up to meet Strikers eyes, he had a soft gaze.
"If you don't want me to kill him, I won't. For you." He said, cupping your cheek in his hand.
"But, in return.." he started, leaning into your ear. "I want a kiss~" your face burst into red, and your eyes widened. "You- you have to be kidding.. Haha- I mean- you don't actually want-" you stopped as you inspected Strikers facial expression, he had a small smirk and one eyebrow was raised higher than the other.
He wasn't joking.
