Marcus Lopez x Reader One-shots

~the broken promise~

Thank you to @berriesANDcream40 for this idea. I promise I'll write more fluff after this one. :)

~All the usual warnings and lots of swearing~

Marcus and I got assigned to kill a man who owes money to Master Lin. We didn't get any details other than that, we just know we have to murder him.

The man lives around an hour away from the school so we had to walk because neither of us have a car.

He grabs my hand and rubs his thumb on my skin. "When this is all over and we're out of this place, I'm going to marry you, I swear. We're going to have the best life y/n, I'll make sure of it."

"Do you really think we'll get out?" I ask him.

"Of course I do. I promise." He says, giving me his signature smile. God, he's adorable.

We finally get to the address and it's some random little hotel in the middle of nowhere. We approach the building and get our weapons out. I have a few knives to choose from and pepper spray and he has a baseball bat to use. "Ready?" He asks, looking at the door in front of us.

"Yeah. Lets just get this over with." I answer him while sighing.

He breaks the door handle with his baseball bat that has tons of marks from doing this exact thing in the past.

The door flies open and we walk inside, weapons at the ready. We look around but he's nowhere to be found. I grip my pepper spray a little harder just incase he comes out of a random spot.

Marcus is looking under beds and small spaces while I look in the other rooms. I checked all of the closets already but there's no sign of him.

I walk into the last room, which is a bathroom, and cautiously put my hand on the shower curtain.

My heart is pounding in my chest, I swear I can hear it. I hear someone breathing and pull it open. He stands there wide-eyed and I spray him in the face with my pepper spray, giving me enough time to get my blades out. "Marcus!" I yell to him. He comes running into the room and trips on the rug. "Seriously love?" I ask him.

"Sorry." He says, laughing slightly. I get flashbacks to when we were in class and he fell over the bathtub.

I snap back into reality when my face turns to the side with a lot of force. Did I just get punched in the face? Marcus swings his bat at the man and hits him in the side, knocking the wind out of him. I pull my knives out of my pockets and swing them at him but he steals one from me. "Well shit." We both say.

He starts swinging them but he obviously has no experience with them.

I push him against the wall and punch him in the throat. He gasps for air and swings at me with the knife and it slits my cheek. He tries to throw the blade at me but misses completely and I hear a small gasp from behind me.

He looks behind me and I finish him off while he's not paying attention and his body drops onto the shower floor.

I'm breathing heavily when I turn around to see Marcus looking at down. I follow his eyes direction and see his normally white shirt is now a dark crimson red with one of my blades im the middle of his chest.

He starts taking steps back before pulling the fucking blade out and began to fall to the cold, hard floor.

I run to him and catch him right before he hits the ground. "Shit, hey love, I need you to look at me okay? Don't close your eyes. Stay awake for me, alright?" I say, tearing my sleeve so I can put pressure on his wound. "Fuck, why would you take it out Marcus? Did you learn nothing in our classes?"

"I'm sorry y/n. I-I don't know what I was doing. I'm so sorry. Please don't be mad." He begs, tears falling out of his beautiful brown eyes.

"I'm not mad." I say with tears running down my face. Of course I'm mad. He could die because of that stupid ass mistake.

He nods his head softly before letting it hit the ground. I prop him up on the wall and push down even harder on the wound. His breathing is getting shaky and he grabs my hands. "I love you y/n."

"Don't do that. Don't say your goodbye's, you're going to be okay. We're going to get out of here and get married and have a family, remember? Please, don't let that go." I say, full on sobbing at this point. How could I not though? The love of my life is bleeding out in front of me. He has to be okay though. He wouldn't leave me here alone... would he?

He starts to wince from the pain. "Please stop y/n. Please."

"No I'm not going to let you die. I'm sorry, I know it hurts but I have to do this."

"Don't cry, love. Not over me." He says wiping tears from my face.

"Are you kidding me? How would I not cry right now? I love you, Marcus, it hurts me to see you like this."

"Tell my friends I said I'll miss them." He says, his eyes starting to close. "I'll miss you too, I love you, y/n."

"Please... don't leave me." I say, crying my eyes out.

"Say it back... please." He pleads while his breath gets shallow.

"No, no, no, stop it. Don't leave me, Marcus!"

But it was too late.

His breathing had stopped and his eyes were closed.

"No... Marcus please! I love you, I love you Marcus please wake up! Wake up!" I yell, shaking him.

I spend at least twenty more minutes trying to wake him up. "You promised me. You swore we would leave and have a happy future, you swore! You promised me we would be okay! Don't break your promise now."

I can't breathe. I stand up and go to the man on the shower floor. I swing his bat and hit the dead body hundreds of times before going back to Marcus. I look at him and try not to gag, he has blood covering his whole body and I can clearly see he still isn't breathing. I drop to my knees and hug him one last time before walking out of the room. I feel so horrible leaving him in there but what am I supposed to do? Drag him all the way back and get arrested? He wouldn't want that.

I walk down the sidewalk, dragging his bat behind me, crying. I stop it where we first met and slide down the wall putting my head in my hands. This is the place where when I was younger and homeless he came up to me and asked if I was okay. We cried for hours together that day. We had been best friends and eventually lovers after that.

But that's all I have left of him now. Just the memories.

Hey, hopefully you liked this. If you want a part 2 I could make one. I hope you have an amazing rest of your day or night, drink some water, and eat something. Love you all <3 -author
