Sevika X Reader (Angst)

Wowowowow So SAAAD

Sevika POV

After Jinx blew up the council chamber building, enforcers flooded the undercity. With them, special ops with hextech weaponry. We had the firelights, what was left of Shimmer, Singed, and the new guy Viktor. He used hextech weaponry too, something called a hexcore. He used to work with Jayce Tallis, I hope he's the brains behind that operation because we need all the help we can get. 

"Talk it through with me, what do you want to do next," you ask. I found you at the firelight hideout, helping them. It's been three days, you've been fighting for them. You look so strong in your armor, with the mask of a barn owl hanging by its strap around your neck. We're outside the compound now, they don't exactly trust me. 

"Silco is dead. If he were here, I'd tell him I fucking told him so about Jinx. We could have had everything, no compromises, in exchange for her. I've lost my arm twice for him... no, for the cause. He was just who I thought was promoting the cause most efficiently. A cause that might as well already be dead, because they have hextech weapons and our shimmer plant is out. I used to think; no matter how many people die, it will be worth it. For the next generation to be able to grow without the weight of oppression, for Piltover to face its hypocrisy." It's so good to see your face again, I can't tell you how I've longed for it. There's lines under your eyes, you look so serious. I bring my hand to your face, cupping your cheek. You lean into it, and my heart aches. I say,

"I used to think that, until I met you." You kiss me, your lips are soft and cold. You hover close to me and say,

"Work with us then. You think I'm the person you can't bear to see die? We're at war, do something to help us win. Do something, so one day we might be able to be together in peace." You shove a letter into my chest and turn to walk away.

I wait till you've left to open the letter, it's empty. Written inside the envelope flap is this:

- 334 Boster St. Surrender, offer your services. Do not say you know me. Burn after reading - 

Y/N POV

I can't sleep, not since it's all started. It's so fucking loud all the time, bombs and gunshots. Who is Sevika to come to me now, saying she's not sure about fighting? Who is she now, to come to me and say she wants me? Fuck. 

She did as I asked, Ekko is interrogating her now. It was hard, to see her again. These past three days I thought she'd gone to work for Singed, or just left. I convinced myself she abandoned Zaun, and me. Not that we were in a relationship or anything, I'd met her twice. But we had something going on, some sort of alliance. Some sort of trust.

I'm standing at the base of the tree, serving dinner to those still living after Piltover's first round of attacks. She's being interrogated in a nearby room, within eyesight. 

What does she mean, that I changed her mind about people being disposable? I showed her some kindness, but nothing outrageous. Where the fuck has she been these three days? 

She emerges from the room, scanning her surroundings. Her eyes stop when they reach me, she starts walking to me. Her hair is down, she's not wearing any makeup. I serve two dinners for us, and tell Ekko I'll show her around. We go to a secluded spot, overlooking the city. 

"Where were you?"

"I went to see what was left of Silco's ranks and the Chem Barrons, to see if they still had any leverage. They didn't, so I went to find you."

"What were you going to do, if they did?"

"I was going to ask for you and I to be smuggled out, South."

"Don't you think that's pretty irresponsible? You helped start this war, you helped Silco! You were just going to leave for the rest of them to suffer and die?" I looked up from the city to face her, and saw tears streaming down her face. 

"For you, yes."

"What is it about me? We've met a handful of times, you don't know the first thing about me! You're just projecting your heartache over this weak fucking cause onto me, saying I'm the reason you want to leave, but really you're just tired of losing! Well you're right, I can't stay partial. I'd rather not stand by while my home is destroyed. So yeah, I guess you won, I picked a side. Just in time for you to abandon yours." Expressions of shock and regret ripple through her face, she looks down sharply. 

"Y/N, please, now that I know there's no way out for us I'll fight for you. That's why I came here. I'll give everything I have to stay by your side. I don't know why you're why I want to change, you just are. Please, trust that. Trust me." She pulls me closer with her left arm, and I break down in her embrace. Ugly sobbing into her shoulder. 

"Why? Why me? I'm not that fucking special."

"I don't know. I just know the one thing pushing me forward, through this war, is the idea of you. Zaun is... secondary."
