cw: swearing, manipulation, implication of... somewhat abusive relationships???, Archer being himself like usual

Y/N got up from the soft confines of the grass, wobbly and teary eyed, took off running. Where? Only god knows. And to Y/N- any hope of god left was gone. Archer was their god before. Y/N hated that. The fact Y/N fell victim to his bullshit. Y/N didn't know who was at fault right now, but all they kept doing was just running. Running away from Archer. From life. From their mistakes.

Y/N felt guilty for their sudden breakdown, sure, but at this point something was coming to light about the mysterious creature. Something a lot more sinister. Archer tried catching up to them. He yelled out stuff like, "Y/N! What are you doing?  Come back..!!!" Stuff of that sorts. They didn't want to though. They just wanted to... go back and apologize to their friends.

Suddenly, Y/N's legs toppled, and they fell to the floor. They ran so quick for so long their legs fell under them. They breathed heavily, a line of tears streaming across their face.

...

Y/N could hear Archer's loud footsteps catch up to the them.
...

They were foolish if they ever thought a creature like xem could ever be out fooled by an excuse for a college student.

Archer finally made it up to them, grabbing them and lifting them up. "Hey, Y/N, are you-" Y/N escaped their grasp with aggression but also weariness in their eyes. "Don't touch me!... Ive got you all figured out now, you know that?!" Archer looked at them with shock. "W-what do you mean..? Y/N? I thought that-"

"You- You lifelinked with me, didn't you? You thought I couldn't tell what that was?! You thought I was stupid?!... sure, I fell victim to your- your praise, but jokes on you this time, alright?!"

"...."

Archer's face was unrecognizable at that point. His emotions seemed to mix together, all at the same time.

"....I don't know what exactly you're up to, but I've done some research and... I'm not sure I trust you anymore."

Archer laughed maniacally.

"Hahaha- AHAHAHAHA..! Well well well, Look at little Y/N being so feisty. You're being so silly, I am all you need, remember? You can trust me!" Archer spat out. Xe tried grasping their chin but Y/N snapped away. ".....you're sick, you know that? I'm starting to realize just how manipulative you are."

"...me? Manipulative? Aww come on, honey, you practically begged for me to use you! You got skin in the game, you stay in the game, you know that!"

"...never talk to me again, I'm gonna find out where you're from, what you're planning to do, all of it, and I'll get you in real trouble." Y/N ran off again, presumably going to their dorm room.

They then realized that uh...

Maybe going off on a strong, mysterious, and manipulative creature really wasn't the best idea.

god fucking damnit.
