✓|The Ferry Deity (Pit x reader)

Chapter 30

I slammed the door shut as hard as I could and ran away from the door. In my haste I didn't notice the ottoman in front of me. My foot got caught in its legs and I tripped.

I yelped as I fell and I landed once again on my back with a dull thud. I slowly sat up and groaned. Stupid ottoman... Why is it that my back always breaks when I am around him? I think I'm cursed.

I shake my head to clear the fog and wince at the sharp pangs of pain. I hear footsteps and a hand grips my wrist. "Y/N! Are you okay?!" His voice is frantic, I give a scream of rage inside my head.

"Does it look like I'm okay?!" I turn to glare at him "Let me help," he pulls me up and looks at me as if I'm about to break.

"Why are you here, Pit?" I put force into each word. 

The door to the living room creeks open and Aether peers in "What's the problem-" her eyes widen when she sees Pit "-Oh!"

Aether gives me a hard look, I stare at her in disbelief- what the heck did I do?! She then gives Pit a welcoming smile "Please come in, Pit!" and opens the door wider welcoming him in. I roll my eyes, "Favouritism..." I say under my breath.

Pit sits on the sofa, Aether on the chair and I keep standing. She gives me a look, I sigh and sit next to Pit on the sofa.

Pit keeps looking at me, I refuse to stare him in the eye and Aether looks at us both. There is an awkward silence that lasts for a few minutes before Aether intervenes.

"What brings you here, Pit?" Aether asks. I look at him closely, I know why he's here, he glances at me and then replies "I need to take Y/N back up to the overworld." Aether turns to look at me awaiting my response.

"No."

Pit's eyes widen and Aether slaps her forehead. I get up "If you'll excuse me, there are souls waiting to be fished." I say evenly and head for the door.

I shut the door and as soon as I am on the other side, my casual demeanor slips off and the dam holding my emotions back breaks.

I sit down and let my thoughts take over.

Why did he come back? I don't want to go back anymore! They'll take me back again and I will feel that pain. At least with aether I am safe and somewhat happy. Who cares if I don't see daylight ever again? At least I will be safe.

Maybe I'm being selfish, Maybe I'm being unreasonable- but that's just the way I am. Tear start to my eyes but I furiously wipe them away.

Not today, sucker.

The water laps at my feet and soaks my slippers. I close my eyes and listen to the waves coming and going trying to keep the tears in.

I hear a familiar whisper and I open my eyes. I see the same pink soul "Go back....Go back to him..." it says in a voice softer than the seraph's lullaby. (AN: If you understand this reference- I love you)

I glare at it "THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" I snap at it and kick at the sand. "WHEN WILL PEOPLE UNDERSTAND?! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"

"Who are you talking to?"

I stand up, great. Just great.

I grit my teeth "No one." I reply. Pit walks closer to me "Hey! Remember that time we shipwrecked here and yo-" he began smiling a little. "Cut the chase, cupid." I interrupt him, folding my arms.

I know what's coming and I am dreading it.

"I need you to come back up with me, Y/N!" his eyes look pleading. "Before you say no just listen to the consequences! If you don't come- everyone will die!"

I smile a little "Everyone who lives here is as good as dead anyway."

Pit glares at me "Not everyone!" he glares walking closer still "What about Aether?! How about Deimos, huh?! Lachesis! Clothos! And the third one?! How about all these souls?! Where will they go?!" his voice breaks at the last one "What about you?!"

"Face it, idiot! I am doomed! I CAN'T LEAVE!" I shout at him. How could he not see?! 

"You have to stop being so selfish Y/N! Think about everyone else who's lives lay in your hands!" guilt washes over me, but I shake it off. "I am not going back."

Pit persists "I literally died to get here!" 

"You shouldn't have come!" I counter. "Y/N, please!" 

"This is YOUR fault! You're the one who died! You're the one who gave me hope to escape- and look where that got me! NOWHERE!"

Pit recoils, looking hurt. I soften my glare feeling even more guilt "Look, I'm sorry- but I can't. I just can't." I look down at my slippers.

"You can. You're the one who left everything to help a stupid angel. You barely knew me but you helped. You were made for a purpose but you defied that- you went against it! You got us out like you promised. Heck, I doubted you at times! You hid something from me, but now I see why you did that. Pittoo told me, if you're wondering..." his voice trailed off.

"He told me not to do it- not to come back. but I did because you put yourself in the same position for us. So don't say that it got you nowhere, Y/N! Because you have surpassed us all." he finishes looking at me hopefully.

I smile a little "Thank you, Pit. But I'm sorry- I still can't face that again! I can't talk to Messorem again."

Pit thought for a second, before looking at me with his clear blue eyes.

"Then I won't go either."
