Mouthpiece X Reader WEST SIDE STORY

Chapter 6

MOUTHPIECE POV 

I trudged down the street, sweaty, bloody, a mess. My mind was racing. I was an absolute disaster and I'm sure anyone who cared to glance at me would agree too. With each step, my body begged me to slow down or stop. It all hurt and so much guilt washed over me. I was biting the inside of my cheek trying to keep everything inside. 

I saw Y/Ns building down the block and started sprinting. 

I realized Mr. Y/L/N probably wouldn't let me in if he saw me all covered in blood, so I headed for the fire escape. The climb was hurting my body with each passing second. '

It will all be worth it when I see her.

I tapped lightly at the window, peering inside. I didn't see much of anything but it was dark out and the windows were tinted. 

Just as I was about to start tapping again the window slipped open. 

"No I- Mouthpiece" Y/N stopped and gaped at my current condition for a few seconds. 

"Is this real?" She said as she cupped my jaw with her hand. The tears began. I couldn't keep it in anymore. 

"Liar." She said. 

"What?" I gaped. 

"Y-You said you'd be careful, and you show up, b-bleeding, MOUTHPIECE" She began to cry, and my tears came even harder. 

"No, no, no, my love, come here," She said, and I complied crawling inside. Her room was small with a queen bed as I collapsed onto the ground. 

She positioned me so that my head was laying in her lap. I couldn't help it. Tears were coming. 

"My love, Mouthpiece" She whispered with more tears dripping off his cheeks

"Antonie" I whispered.                   (No idea if that's his real name but go with it)

"Antonie, come here," She said as she pulled me into her as she hugged me, I tried to hug back, but everything felt limp. 

"He-He's dead." I cried. 

"Toni? Who's dead?" She asked stroking my hair. 

"R-Riff, the guy who yelled at you, I know he was mean to you, but he was family" I sobbed. 

"Toni, Toni, Toni" She cooed as she stroked my jaw with her thumb. 

"It will be okay, I know everyone says that, but I won't let anyone tell you otherwise. My love, we'll be okay. We'll be okay." She repeated a few more times. 

"An-and Bernardo, dead. Tony. Stabbed him." 

She gasped. 

"Is everyone else okay?" She questioned. 

"Yeah, I'se think so." I said. 

"Liar!" Y/N cried. 

"Look at you! Bloodied! Bruised! Broken practically!" She shouted. 

"Y-you promised to be careful!" She cried again, and I cried just as hard, holding onto her harder. 

"Nothin' I ain't had before," I said. 

"Is that really better?" She deadpanned, but with a small smile. 

"I'se s'pose not." 

She let go from the embrace and put her head on my shoulder, she went to hold my hand but gasped. 

"Your knuckles Toni" She said getting up. 

"Where you'se going?" I questioned. 

"To get the supplies to clean you up."

 A few minutes later she returned with a wet rag, an ice pack, some bandaids, and soap. She gingerly grabbed my hand. "This may hurt," She said as she put the soap on the cut. I hissed at this "Sorry, sorry". 

After she got my knuckles and my arms she went for my face. She cleaned up the cut on my forehead and then looked to my lip. 

"You know, there's a cut on your lip, do you want me to make it feel better?" She smirked. 

"Of course," I said as Y/N gingerly kissed me. 

"I need you to take your shirt off." 

"Already? I'se barely know ya" I laughed as she gasped. 

"Kasuktuk! Toni, jesus! Here lie down." As she cleaned and worked I couldn't help but hiss and groan at the pain. 

"Here, I'm all done, let's lay down. Okay?" 

"Sure" 

Y/N helped me stand from the floor of her bedroom and brought me to the bed. She laid down and put my head on her stomach. I fell asleep to the feeling of her stroking my hair as my mind slowly unwinded.
