cw // none!

a/n: well gamers, we did it. the last canonical part of this story. However, after this, I will be posting other non-canon/scrapped endings to the story so be on the lookout! Now, enjoy.

It had been over a week since the kidnapping of Y/N. Archer was in jail, Clicker was off doing their own thing, probably writing. And to Y/N's surprise, them and their friends were as close as ever.

Y/N had been hanging out with Eleanor and Aoife at a popular coffee shop, explaining themself and apologizing to them when suddenly they noticed a car outside had brought out multiple cameras and microphones. The people inside of the car walked out and quickly entered the building, eyes on Y/N. The people walked up to their table.

"Can we help you..?" Y/N murmured to the people who seemed to be news reporters. Eleanor and Aoife looked confused as well.
"Hello, can we ask you questions about your experiences with Archer, the infamous criminal?"
Y/N kept in a sigh and looked at them before nodding.

a lot of the interview had questions that wouldn't be very shock worthy, but a specific question caught their eye.
"It's said that Archer knew where you lived but you never told him, how is that?"
To be honest, before the police interference and all the research, Y/N didn't know. Turns out, that bastard was stalking them. When Y/N found that out, they tried their best to act surprised. They really weren't though.

After the interview, which was a lot shorter than Y/N thought it would be, Y/N took a moment to think about the past. So vividly everything happened, and how Y/N was juggling both the Archer situation and college. The first quarter was almost done soon. And yet to think that day they went to the laundromat was near the beginning of school. It shocked them. Eleanor had turned to Y/N in the middle of their thinking.
"Huh. I guess the public media is interested by you,"
"Yeah. It's whatever though. As long as it makes xem stay in jail." Y/N admitted
"Haha. Yeah." Aoife replied.

The rest of their conversations were pretty much about random things since the whole Archer thing was kind of a touchy subject. They had promised to not talk about it if Y/N was uncomfortable, which made Y/N glad their friends respected that so much.

When about half an hour already passed, Aoife once again spoke up after gently placing their warm coffee on the table.
"Hey, I need to wash up some clothes, how about we go to the laundromat after this?" They glanced both at Eleanor and Y/N.
"Sure, let's go." Said Eleanor

As they were walking, a certain thought had crossed Y/N's mind. They remembered how they always used to think something was missing. It was a bit embarrassing to admit, but they think to themself.. maybe it was the want to be respected. Y/N used to think that purpose had already been achieved with Archer, but only until now was when they got what they always thought they needed.

Acceptance and respect.
