the eerie silence was making Hero lose the last hope they had left. They felt drained out and their was nowhere to run. The Villain was closing up, they had the silver knife removed from it's sheath. It was glinting wickedly and the sight sent a shiver through the Hero's back. The villain noticed this and smirked, walking closer and closer, slowly now that their was no chance of his opponent escaping.
The Hero's heart was beating faster by each second, the fright was seeping in, But then there was the thought of dying from the hands of the only person they have ever loved. It was a little comforting that the last sight they would see would be their enemy's beautiful face even if it would be covered in their own blood. But they couldn't help but step backwards.
One step. Then another until his legs gave in, hitting the ground with a thud. Villain was hovering above them, they had a devilish smirk on their face.
Hero thought to themselves"feels like someone is laughing at me from above, you're this close and yet I can't reach out and hold you."
"Choose your last word wisely" the Villain sneered. The Hero not being able to hold themselves anymore, shakily lifts their head and with a small sigh says,
" I love you"the Villain scowls "one of your plans? I'm not falling for this."
The Hero took a shaky breath and decided to say everything they had to because it might be the last chance:
" I have loved you from the very first time I met you" Hero laughs "more like when I first fought you. I can remember the way you looked so graceful.I love the way your nose crinkles when you're annoyed, I love your laugh, I love your smile, I love you. I admired you but I didn't know that i had be falling this deep and at this point I don't even care if I from your hands."
The Hero noticed that Villain has been silent since their confession. They looked up, only to find Villain staring at them with eyes wide in shock.
Hero looked into their gray eyes. Grey as the clouds while raining, gray as the stormy waters holding the power to destroy everything in it's way.
Then came the sound of metal clattering after falling down to the floor.
"I- " Villain spoke, their hands shaking slightly "you- you're lying, no one can ever love someone like... me."
"I'm telling the truth but do you think that your so despicable that no one would love you?"
Villain sat down next to the Hero with their knees drawn and staring into the sky, said "no one has said something like that to me you know? everyone thinks that i'm just an emotionless monster and no words or act could ever hurt me. The only people I've ever trusted have betrayed me and I- I can't afford to end up hurt again. I won't kill you, I never imagined i would be saying this but I like you too. Just promise me something."
In those minutes Hero saw the emotions they had never seen in Villain's face , the grief, the doubt, the loneliness....
Hero asked "what is it?"
Villain said in a small voice "just promise me that you won't betray me like others". They replied "I promise, I will never hurt you or betray you, I will never leave you."Villain's eyes lit up, it was a scene Hero had never seen before. Villain took the knife, put it back in it's sheath and gave their hand to Hero and helped them get up. Hero had to lean onto villain because they were a little dizzy from getting up suddenly.
And so they walked ahead with a changed opinion about each other, leaning into one another,
.....Towards A New Beginning.....
