"Little Lady" || Laurance Zvhal x Fem!Reader - MCD

Chapter One : Return of Legends

Dante, Y/N, Kawaii~Chan, and Nekoette were eating F/M before Zoey came rushing into the house.

They all stood up, giving her a moment to catch her breath before she shouted, "The portal- it worked- I opened it-"

As soon as she said that, Dante stood up, “That’s not possible.”

“I’m serious Dante,” the pleading look in her eyes showed that she was telling the truth.

Dante sprinted out the door, almost knocking his chair over but Kawaii~Chan was able to react quickly enough and picked it up.

Dante protected Aphmau when she was the Lord, they had a bond, the same bond she shared with her two other guards.

Laurance and Garroth.

However, Y/N had never met nor had the chance to meet these people who've been trapped for years in a different dimension.

The news was clearly for Kawaii~Chan and Dante, but Y/N really didn't know how to feel about this.

Confused? Maybe.

Nervous? Definitely.

She didn't want to meet them. New people make her nervous. Depending on the person, it could take a long time to become close with her.

But then there are the cases of "instant connections" with people.

She pulled her hood over her head and walked out the door, before walking right back in. Deciding not to follow, she went over to Nekoette. “Hey, how about we go back to your home?” “Okay!” Nekoette runs and Kawaii~Chan stands there in disbelief.

Y/N leads the pink haired girl over and takes her back to her own house. Once they had arrived there, Y/N and Kawaii~Chan went to go pick some flowers out back and Nekoette sat at the table with a doll and some cookies.

While they were outside, they heard muffled conversations inside and wondered what the heck was going on.

Kawaii~Chan was the first into the door. A woman with raven black hair stood there with wide eyes. “A-aphmau~senpai?” She hugged her and when they separated, Kawaii~Chan handed the flowers to Y/N before going to stand beside the chair Nekoette was sitting in.

Y/N could tell just how excited and relieved Kawaii~Chan was to see Aphmau. “APHMAU~SENPAI IT’S REALLY YOU! KAWAII~CHAN MISSED YOU SO MUCH AND WAS WORRIED ALL THESE YEARS! YOU’RE REALLY HERE” Aphmau gives her a tear filled grin, “I missed you so much Kawaii~Chan.”

Aphmau must’ve just realized that Y/N was there because she looked a little surprised when she saw her. “You’re new here aren’t you?”

Y/N was going to reply but Kawaii~Chan introduced the girl. “OH THAT’S RIGHT! APHMAU~SENPAI THIS IS LIA~CHAN! LIA~CHAN, THIS IS APHMAU~SENPAI!”

Y/N chuckles, “I figured it was you. I’m Ophelia and I came to Phoenix Drop about two years ago. Very nice to meet you Ms. Aphmau.” She smiled and backed up a little, planning on leaving so they could catch up. “I’ll just go and let you guys catch up.”

“It’s nice meeting you too, Ophelia.” Y/N nods in response and gives a goodbye hug to nekoette and Kawaii~Chan before exiting the house.

“So there’s more than just Aphmau right?” She walks around and finds a guy about her age with light brown hair that covered his eyes as he looked down solemnly. He was standing on top of a dirt patch.

It wouldn't have been weird except everything else besides that patch is completely overgrown. There was once something there.

It must've been important to him.

He looked up suddenly, staring right at her, she backed up slowly, pursing her lips in a thin line.

I've been caught staring. Darn.

He had the look of a grieving man. The sad look he gave her made her want to go over and comfort him. Even though she barely knew him.

"Who are you? You weren't here 15 years ago.." he straightens his posture and looks her straight in the eyes, making her even more nervous.

That eye color, oh my Irene- his eyes are beautiful.

"I'm Ophelia. And you're one of the people who just came back from the other dimension."

You damn blabbermouth. What if he still doesn't believe this is real.

He walks up to her cautiously, "Uhm- I'm Laurance."

Y/N's mouth formed an 'o' in realization. Of course he was one of Lady Aphmau's guards. She should've been able to guess with him still wearing his armor.

"Right, I've heard of you."

"You have?"

"You're one of her guards right?"

"Who- oh, you're talking about Aphmau right?" He questioned, getting within arm's reach of her.

"Yeah, I already met her and figured I should try and make more friends. Kawaii~Chan has told me multiple times that I should." His sad smile goes away, not fully but she can tell that he isn’t too sad anymore.

“If you make more friends, there’s more people to protect you when you need it.”

“If I make more friends that’s more people that I’d feel the need to protect.”

“Then you’d all have each other’s backs.” He pointed out.

“Well, would you like to be my friend? You’ll be the first I’ve made in years.” It's not really that embarrassing to admit since this guy doesn’t really seem like the type to judge unless he’s joking.

“Sure,” he grins, whatever sad smile he had before was gone.

Him smiling made her happy since she knew she did good.

In the next few days, the two spent time together when neither of them were busy. (But let’s be honest here Laurance is probably the only busy one-)

And in those days, she was able to meet everyone else and make some sort of connection with them. Well except for the guy with the hood and bandana covering his eyes.

How does this dude even see?

They all weren’t exactly best friends, but the more she got to know these people, the more she actually wanted to be their friends.

Being honest, she was terrified, if they did somehow become close, she'd have to tell them sooner or later that she’s not the person they thought she was.

She was a wanted woman but she was fighting her own demons as well. Not literally of course.

However, these “demons” seem to be behind every negative thought she has about herself.

Disappointing isn’t it. Can't even tell them the truth? They’re going to find out eventually.
