Everyone's Secrets by Rei00135 (Spy x Family one-shots)

Broken all over (Nightfall x male reader)

TW: Angst, with no comfort

Y/N: Your name

Mostly Nightfall's perspective.

Yor Forger will be mentioned in this story.

Format: Written through a bit of songfic

Song not owned by me. ALL CREDITS TO THE LYRICS GOES TO THE RIGHTFUL ARTISTS AND SINGERS!

Request: "May I have a songfic? The song is 'Can I be him?' by James Arthur. I would like male reader with nightfall. Could you recreate the mv? I want nightfall to be rejected by the reader if possible. Plus, I want the reader to be with Yor as the replacement for Nightfall. Thanks!"

Answer: "Hello! Sure thing, to recreate the mv was interesting, I tried to make it as realistic as possible to the mv (It might differ when reading the actual story) as well as adding in some actual Spy x Family background reference for certain things. Rejection is interesting, idea-wise is quite cool. Male reader check! And please let me know how you think!"

It starts as morning, where Nightfall had planned to meet up with y/n. Actually, scrap that thought, it was more of Nightfall stalking y/n in order for them to 'coincidentally bump' into one another, this way it would leave Nightfall no choice but to apologise and treat y/n to a meal to make up for her actions.

However, things start heading into another direction.

As Nightfall suddenly realise, she was in the wrong location, noticing the time that it was getting close to nightfall (Get what I did here? Nightfall's name in the joke of 'nightfall'. Ha? Get it??? I'll stop now...), she quickly headed towards a nearby train stop. Once she hopped on the train started to move. A few stops came here and there and at some point, there was a person who seemed to catch Nightfall's eye. It was, of course, you.

You walked into the room and now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again

Your back was leaning against the door frame of the moving train. Nightfall's eyes had widened in shock. She was not expecting to see you on the train. None the less, bump into you through the train ride. You however, were too preoccupied listening to music through your headphones while scrolling through your phone.

As the train ride came to halt at a certain stop, you pulled down your headphones and phone and quickly shoved them randomly in your backpack.

You dashed out the train cart once the train had fully stopped. You looked excited and really smiley; Nightfall got her answer once she saw why. Not why you were happy, more of who you were happy with.

Nightfall saw you embrace Yor Forger in a tight and warm hug. The kind that many couples do.

I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?

As the world started to move around slowly, Nightfall felt frozen in her place but still watching the way how you smiled for Yor while giving her the reunion hug.

I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you, no, no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all that I've been thinking about
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again

It crushed Nightfall's hope that you couldn't be hers. Why? Well easy question to answer. You had Yor. It was just that morning that Nightfall has planned on confessing her love to you. But it was just sad, the fact that it wasn't possible now, as you were already taken by someone else.

Yor.

Both you and Nightfall had been close ever since you two were paired up for certain missions. It was just painful. Nightfall wondered though, when the two of you were together working along each other's side, you gave her all those stupid grins, reckless fighting and troublesome, endless talking. Nightfall never hated any bits of it. Did you mean any of it?

I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?

Nightfall had too many doubts. They were clouding her mind. Her breaths started to get weak.

Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Oh, can I, can I be him?

What was so special about Yor that she was able to take your heart?

Won't you sing it again?
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
Oh, sing it again, yeah
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?

Why did you choose to be with her of all people?

I swear that every word you sang, you wrote 'em for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there?
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories

Just why!

Why?

Why?!

It just didn't make sense.

Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?

Every other thought that Nightfall ever had about you, faded away, along with all the other old memories. She couldn't bare the fact that you had someone to love you, when it wasn't her. Nightfall just went back to her seat on the train, lowered her head, and let every silent tear fall from her eyes.

Letting them drain and drip onto the smooth floor of the train.
