Guts x Reader Part 6 (The Thief)

~

You heard that the holy iron chain knights were readying to track down Guts.

You were sitting in the middle of the camp on a small log as knights moved around you back and forth.

You hardly paid any attention to them. You weren't even tied up or restrained either as you just sat there with your thoughts. 

Serpico knew he had you in a position where you weren't about to run off so he allowed you your freedom.

It had taken them quite some time to regather all the horses that Guts had set off in the night.

A portion of the army planned to stay to pack up and move the camp where the rest could regroup at a later date upon recapturing Farnese.

You felt such a twist of emotion over the whole situation.

You wanted to see Guts so badly but was what Serpico stated the truth?

It hurt. More than anything.

Why hadn't he come back for you?

You'd been with Guts for so long you thought he could've possibly cared for you in the sort of way you did for him..

You had been too stubborn to just admit  your feelings to him in the first place and now you'd missed your chance..

Maybe that's where you went wrong.. You sighed to yourself.

"I'll be leaving shortly" a voice commented making you jump as Serpico came into view.

"I'd like it if you joined me" he commented.

"... of course I won't force you if it's not what you wish given the circumstances.." he added.

Ironically despite his words he really intended for you to stay.

You thought about it for a moment.

It might be strange to see Guts again if he didn't even want you there..

What if he just left you again..

You were still just the slightest bit in denial as you shook your head.

"No. I want to be there." You stated firmly standing up.

Serpico observed you slightly before smirking ever so slight.

"Very well then. You'll be riding with me again though if you don't mind"

You lifted a brow catching the slightest hint of flirting but brushed it off.

He lead you toward the horses where all the others were already waiting.

He helped you onto the horse courteous of your wound.

It reminded you of the time with Guts when your leg was wounded..

Your thoughts grew solemn again but you jolted feeling Serpico's body plop down closely behind you.

His hands came around you to grip the reigns and you exhaled just hoping for the best to come of this.
