✓|The Ferry Deity (Pit x reader)

Chapter 31

"Why would you stay here for me?"

The only noise that could be heard was the water of the river styx lapping against the shore. I could see Aether looking out the window from the corner of my eye. You could tell she was trying to be smooth about it, but it wasn't working.

The water reminded me of rowing. I still hadn't gotten over loosing my gondola, or breaking my back. Well, time's have changed.

Pit opened his mouth to speak but then hesitated and closed it. He cast his eyes down to the grey sand below with a  scared expression. I glared at him impatiently "Answer me!" I balled my fists.

Pit looked back up with flushed cheeks and his blue eyes were wide "I-....It's because-..." he stammered. I scoffed "Spit it out, cupid!" Pit murmured something to himself, I think it was a prayer.

 there was an awkward silence until Pit spoke, and when he did- 

I wish I never did what I did.

"It's because-" I sighed impatiently"-..ILOVEYOU!" he yells.  Pit then closed his eyes, as if he was about to get hit. I stopped, it was as if I had stopped in time. I wasn't at Aether's house anymore- I wasn't anywhere.

My cheeks immediately heated up

Pit loved me?

I don't know what to think! It's all too sudden! Am I supposed to feel anything? Am I supposed to feel love?

Because, I feel nothing.

Nothing, but a hole where my heart is supposed to be.

Pit gingerly touches my shoulder "Are you okay? I'm sorry..." I recoil "Don't touch me!" when I see the hurt on his face, I regret it- but I'm too far gone to stop.

"So, you love me?" I repeat, as if to reassure myself that this was real. "I am not mortal, Pit. I can't "feel". Which therefore means, I cannot LOVE. And even if I could I wouldn't want to!"

At this last remark, it looked as if something had broken inside of Pit... that something probably being his heart. Shouting at Pit is like a cardinal sin- no wonder I'm in hell. But still, he kept a straight face.

"Who would want to be weak enough to need someone so much- that they'd stay in hell! This is reality, Kid! You've gotta stick out for yourself- and only yourself! There isn't time in life for love! Love isn't important!" 

"Love kills people!" I finished, Pit only looked back at me defiantly. Heh, he gets rejected but still keeps his head up proud and high. You can't find another like him.

"That's not what the old Y/N told me."

Of course, she didn't. Why must my actions always backfire?

I sigh in exasperation "Humour me, angel." Pit still had a faint blush on his cheeks from the confession "The old Y/N got Pittoo and I out of the underworld. She did it despite the fact that she barely knew us and that she'd get into trouble."  Pit said with determination "I don't know what happened to you these past few days, but what I do know is that you can be that Y/N once again!"

This kid's got no shame.

"Did Deimos talk to you?" I asked him, remembering the conversation I had with the god when I was in jail. Pit smirked "He did."

"It's not going to work again, angel-face!" I retorted.

"Did Magnus talk to you?" Pit looked at me closely.

"Who?"

"Never mind!"

"Alright, Pit" I look back at the house to see Aether eating a pomegranate, enjoying the drama. "Let me get this straight-" Pit only folds his arms, defiantly and listens 

"You kill yourself to come here, you go to Hades and look for me there, you find Deimos, and that's how I assume you talked to him, then you hijack Phobos's gondola and ride out here, then you break my back again, you confess to me and finally- you expect me to come with you."

I laugh "You've got spunk, I'll give you that!" and I walk over to the gondola Pit came in. I sit down and look at him.

"Come on!"

Pit pauses, and then smiles widely "Does this mean you're coming with me?!"

I roll my eyes "No, I'm going back to Hades- Of course I'm coming with you, idiot!" despite this jibe Pit smiles on. If only I had half as much joy as he did. Pit happily flopped on the gondola and took the oar resting on the deck "I can row if you want!"

If he just said what I think he did, he must be pretty happy.

"HEY!"

I turn around to look for the source of the yell. I see Aether running towards us with a basket in her arms. "Were you two about to leave without telling me?! I think not!" 

Aether thrusts the basket towards us "I knew you'd leave Y/N, so I packed you two food and water. You left your hood in the house so I brought it for you. here-" she hands me my hood.

"How did you know I was leaving?" I ask her.

Pit interrupts "She knew that you couldn't say no to handsome angels like m-" I facepalm and groan. 

Why did I agree to this, again?

"I knew because the pink soul told me so." My cheeks heated up once more at the mention of that pink soul. Pit looked from me to Aether "What Pink soul?" I quickly answered "Nothing! Aether's just being delusional!"

Pit looked suspicious but said no more.

Aether smiled and gave me another hug. I held on tightly. Aether was by far the best friend I had ever had in my life. Don't tell Lachesis I said that!

"I'll see you in the near future, Y/N..." Aether whispered. She whispered something in Pit's ear too, probably about me.

And with that, Pit pushed the gondola away, jumped on and off we went.

I looked at Aether's house until it was just a small speck on the horizon. The only thing penetrating the sweet silence was the sound of the river.

Until Pit's annoying voice destroyed it.

"About earlier, Y/N-"

I cut him off.

"No."
