His Target (Pico x Depressed Reader) !Completed!

Chapter 6

~Pico's Pov~

I fired my gun which made a loud pop noise, (y/n) had her eyes shut tightly waiting for the bullet to hit her. But it never came. I groan in pain and held onto my head, dropping the gun in the process. "H-huh!?" I hear (y/n) yell and saw her running over to me. I had shot myself in the foot instead of her.

I couldnt do it. "Pico!? What were you thinking!?" She yelled at me. That was the first time she scolded me, it made me wanna laugh. She makes me wanna do all kinds of things, but i was still in pain. I kneeled down and held my foot, "I dont know" I said while groaning, it hurt like a bitch. Is this what people feel when they get shot?

Yes. Yes they do. "Y-you were supposed to shoot me!? Why didnt you!" She was patting my back, trying to either hit me or just comfort me. "I just.." I hesitated again, i now know that i cant shoot her. She means something to me, its weird. Its only been 4 days, well adding today will be 5. 

I didnt think i could feel something like this. "W-we should get you to a hospital!" I saw that she had small tears leaning out of her eyes, "I couldnt..." I say and quickly taking off the shoe and sock to stop the bleeding. "W-what?" She seemed confused. I felt her stare as i was trying to stop the blood, i groan once more.

"(Y/n)...i couldnt..shoot you" I finally groan out and held my foot even tighter. "We need t-to get you to the hospital!?" She was starting to freak out so i just allowed her to take me there.

I was now laying on (y/n)'s couch with my foot wrapped up. I only asked to take the bullet out and just put a wrap on it, i can still walk fine. (Y/n) was sitting next to me but she was on the carpet, "Pico.." She had a worried look and kept feeling ashamed. "Im sorry, this is my fault" She says. I sigh and pet her head.

"Shut up, no its not. Its mine" I was finally being honest. Only to her. "Pico, why didnt you...shoot me" She asks and looks at me. I felt my face go a bit red but i still stared back at her. "I couldnt.." I say quietly. How was i gonna explain myself, this was starting to feel a bit awkward. "Why couldnt you" She asks again.

"I had so many chances and i blew it. I hesitated when trying to kill you, so many times. So many chances and in the end i shot myself" I take a deep breath and shake my head, "I just felt like i couldnt shoot you...thats all" I didnt really understand it either, all i knew was that i started to feel something..just a tiny bit for this girl.

Just a little bit, yea. "So..what now" I never thought about it, i have to tell (d/n) that i didnt kill her. Or i can make up an excuse saying that i missed. "I could get killed for not killing you ya know" I say, she looks at her lap feeling ashamed once more. "You should've shot me..i was okay with dying" She says still looking at her lap.

"Yea i should've...but i couldnt" I then look at her with a serious face. She stared back, "Pico, can i ask you something?" We were having a staring contest at this point. "Go ahead" I was patient with her, she was the first one i was ever patient with. She's lucky. "Have you ever loved someone?" I had to think about that for a second.

"Whats that" I asked, i was genuinely confused. "You dont know?" She was staring at me with those beautiful (e/c), they seemed to sparkle. "Its just a word right" She looks at me with a nervous smile, "I-i mean" She starts to blush a bit and laughs nervously. "Its hard to e-explain" She finally says. 

"Well, y-you should try to get some rest. We'll try again tomorrow" She says that so casually. Im not gonna kill her, doesnt she realize that? "Your a weird one" I say and she starts to laugh at me.

           ~•~

I huff out a sigh as i see (y/n) trying to get me to kill her. "I already said i cant" I was trying to convince her to just let it go, "I cant have you die just because you couldnt kill me pico.." I scratch my head and pull out my knife. "Fine" I then ran towards her with the knife, which she froze when i was so close to her.
