Red Lover (Mikaela Hyakuya x Pureblood Reader)

11- Negotiation

4 years later

I sighed as I was outside again. Since Mizuki's father able to take her, she drew me a small picture of us together, Lest, and what she imagined Shinya and Masura looked like based on my description of them. I was in a position that seemed to be tossing her up. Lest had one eye open as he drank blood from a wine glass. Shinya was smiling widely and seemed to be laughing. Masura was defensive of me, her father was in the background with an arrow that said 'meanie', but Masura protected me from him.

She also had a second one she kept for herself that had us, Lest, Crowley, Ferid, Chess, and Horn.

I walked around the world, killing a few horsemen for just being nuisances. I looked around before seeing a small glitch in a giant tv screen. I looked and saw an advertisement show up for a few seconds.

It was a family there. A family of 7. 3 boys, 2 girls, and mother and father. They were all happy and the youngest happened to be a baby girl wearing pink pajamas, but she was smiling as the mother looking figure smiled and lifted her up. The father pat two of the boys heads with the last two sitting together and playing with dolls.

I stared and felt my eyes begin to burn as my hands shook. My vision was less clear and I stumbled closer to it, putting my hand to the baby girl's when I was close enough.

It quickly glitched again and shut off, where I balled my hand and punched through the screen as an intrusive voice was in my head.

Useless
"That isn't true..."
Can't do anything
"I just did my best..."
Not enough...
Not enough.
Not Enough!
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut! Up! I did everything I could! Everything I thought was right!" I punched near where I had last time, slightly higher up and to the right.

I yelled to myself and collapsed as I saw the screen glitch again. It wasn't showing for long, just flashed on for a second but showed I accidentally punched through the older girl's head.

I curled up and mumbled.

"Goddamnit..."
You can't do anything right
"It was an accident..."
Nobody is safe with you around. It's only a matter of time before Lest dies.
"Lest is fine on his own. He... He can protect himself. He's strong... stronger than me."
You know that isn't true. You'll probably kill him.
"He beats me in every fight. Not happening."
And that's why you have no humanity left. Those two will hate you. You're a monster
Monster.
Monster!
Useless
Weakling
"Shut up!"

I snapped and took Rekkotaru out before slamming him in the ground.

"Rest. I'll watch over you."
"What happened to possessing me?" I asked him as I sniffled.
"Changed my mind. Just relax and don't complain." I couldn't even get the strength and leaned on him. I heard him sigh and it felt like he was sitting next to me. I teared up before passing out here.

Lest's POV

"Goddamnit. She isn't back. She should be by now."

I jumped across buildings while surveying the area for (Y/n). I hadn't heard from anyone at her base yet, so I was still searching.

Soon, I felt a familiar presence and looked down and I stopped myself. I slid and knew I'd have to replace my boots soon but just ignored it and found where the presence was. I sighed in relief when I saw (Y/n) sleeping and seeming to be shielded by a slight aura.
