𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗𝖜𝖊𝖇𝖘 - [Phantom Troupe x Reader | Soulmate AU]

[2]

A small gasp escaped your lips as you back collides with a wall. Your Eyes needed a moment to focus, while your head was spinning. Everything happened so fast that it costs you a couple of seconds to realise the situation you're currently in. In one moment you were running as fast as you could, in the next moment your surroundings had changed, your body was cornered to a wall and right before you stands the guy from just a moment befor. Your Soulmate. One of his hands hovered right besides your head on the wall, the other one laid heavy on your shoulder and pressed you against the cold wall behind you.

With surprise deep in your bones you could only blink and stare at him. It was the first time you really looked at him, but you weren't really sure what you should think. His neck was covered large scarf like cloth which also hid most of his face. Only his grey eyes were showing, which looked at you like a predator would look at his prey. His body was mostly clothed in black and at his side hung definitely something sword.

Again you feelt pure danger pulsing all around you. You knowed all the time that the people from the Phantom Troupe would be dangerous and probably really  strong, but in this short moment you realised right away that you still had underestimated them.

You had not the slightest of a chance to escape this guy, that was for sure.

Just… what should you do? Escaping? Impossible. Fighting? Yeah, no. That would be nothing more than a death sentence. Talking? Probably completely useless. But unfortunatly it was the only option you had. But what should you say? Is there even a thing you could say to get this guy to disappear in the same hole he crawled out?

Probaly not.

„Uh- okay man, i know i bumped into you and all but i apologized, allright? Can we both- uh, not just simply go our ways and everything is good?"

He narrows his eyebrows and strengthens the grip on your shoulder. A quiet hiss leaved your mouth. Yeah, your sentence was more then dumb, but why in the world was this guy so freaking strong?

„Don't even try it. We both know exactly what's going on."

„Huh. No. I don't know you, so leave me alone. Thank you very much.", You grumbled, while your eyes were switching from his face to your surroundings and back. You knowed trying to escape was pointless, but maybe - just maybe you could still try? Only if there was a nice chance of course. A small hole in his attention, a way to submerge in a crowd - if you only would be in a more public spot, it would so much easier, but no. You were in a fucking alley. How the hell did he manage to pull you in this spot so fast?

Is he the Flash or what?

„Try something stupid and you regret it.", His voice was rough and let your blood run cold. No empty promises, just facts.

You gulped. „How… nice."

„I don't need to be nice. You don't only know what i are to you, you also know who i are."

„What-"

„You ran in the same moment you realised that i'm your soulmate. Its obvious that you know more than you should. Smart, but still useless."

„I-"

His face lowered to the same height as yours, his breath grazed you cheeks.

”You can't run from me."

You feelt nothing more than terror. Pure terror. Everything in you screamed to disappear, but it was just Impossible, Useless and hopeless. And still-

Your body reacted.

Within only a few seconds you let your Nen flow, focused it in one spot. You Head snapped forward, your Nen infuses forehead collided with his. A small - almost silent surprised gasp escaped his mouth, as he backed only one step away. But enough to give you a tiny amount of movement freedom. With a swift motion you pushed away his hand on your shoulder, used the small gap to scurry away and pushed your nen from your forehead to your toes to give yourself a push.
