Shadows of our end - KDA x Male Reader (Original)

Act 2 - 017

"Who are you looking for again?" Fury asks me with an arched brow.

"One of the doctors that used to work here." I stopped near the building where their offices were. "I am just... trying to see if they are still around."

"Today is an off-day and you want to bother the faculty because you wanted to see the person in charge of your head?" She scoffs. "Personel hasn't changed since the Waves, but sure, maybe you find the person you are looking for."

I breathe out. "If this is the person I think it is, then trust me, they will not be asleep even if they had the chance to sleep in. And probably in a shit mood too considering I am going to be kicking on the door till someone answers."

"And if it isn't?"

"Someone's still going to be pissed," I admit.

"Right..."

She guides me straight to the offices and I lock my eyes on the door that I remember being her's. I stop right in front of it knowing damn well what to expect is she is the person behind this door but... if it is someone else I'll probably have a complaint on my name.

But Lauren didn't say a thing about her not being here, she didn't mention that Ashe was somewhere else.

Or... did she die during the Waves?

My heart sinks at the feeling and I lower my knuckles against the door, wondering if I should be finding that out for myself. I will stand here like an idiot hoping to see someone and in the end, she could also be dead.

"What are you waiting for?"

"I-"

She walks past me and slams her fist against the door. She slams it a couple of times more only for both of us to hear someone shout. "Fuck off!" She arches her brow at me and gestures at the door.

"Same person?"

I then knock after her and I can hear someone stepping closer. The door swings open as the woman behind the door almost slams the door open, "You shitheads better have a good fucking reason for knocking on my door this early in the morning."

Fury gestures at me. "Hey Ashe, do you know this kid?"

She looks Fury in the eye. "What do you want from me?" she grumbles before looking me in the eye. Her eyes widen at the sight of me. Nothing's changed about this woman, messy hair, tired eyes, black nails, I don't know if she's just tired or has a layer of eyeliner. At least she is somewhat dressed.

"Hey Ashe," I smile at her.

"Doctor," she breathes out, almost as if on instinct. "I... I thought Lauren was just fucking with me because I shirked on my responsibilities but... you are alive..." she cracks a slight smile. "Holy shit."

 She lifts her arm to the side of the door resting her head against it, the smile she smiles at me is enough to make me want to tackle her to the ground and hold her close so that she can get some rest. "You look like shit."

She then says, "Looked like this for thirty-two years now, at least you look more like a man and less like a kid."

"Oh was that bothering you?"

Fury mutters. "Why does that sound like it was a problem before?"

Ashe looks at her. "You know it felt horrible for me twice as much exploiting this kid's head and heart just so that I could get some sleep. Honestly? It felt like grooming, and I barely have the energy to groom myself."

"Uh-huh, right," she looks at me. "Him? He's the reason you can fall asleep? You are some weird and twisted bitch, aren't you?"

Ashe points at her. "Not any weirder than a Demon that wants to die."

Fury crosses her arms. "Right."

"Don't start with me, I know just as much about your insecurities as you hate Azreal."

Fury looks between the two of us, "Him?"

"Unfortunately," Ashe nods.

"What... what did I do?"

Fury shakes her head at her. "Is it like that then?"

"I don't know."

Fury nods. "Then... I'll give you two some space, I'll drop by later as I said I would. See ya later, Ashe."

"Hm mhm." Fury leaves and Ashe breathes out with a sigh. "She was sent here to help defend against the Waves and became the security guard of this place. She's a bit hard to talk to, a bit of a bitch, but I can't help but feel sorry for her. The same way she feels sorry for me, I guess."

"She is something," I admit.

"She reminded me of you," she points at me. "You, you son of a bitch that got me to fall asleep for the first time in my life. And the first thing you did... was disappear."

"Sorry-"

She interrupts me. "I don't mean to make it sound like you are a drab and bland person who would probably make a woman fall asleep because of how tiresome it would be to be around you, but... you were the only person that could ever do something for me that really meant something."

"Sounds like your type," I chuckle.

She scoffs, "Stop flirting with me."

"Didn't you just say it?"

"I am stating facts, not trying to get you into the same bed as me," then shutting her eyes.

I then tease her, "But it looks like you want me to get into the same bed as you. You know, for falling asleep."

"Awfully suggestive. I could make a report on you."

"Still glad to see you are the same as ever."

She then counters, "A part of me wishes that wasn't the case." She shuts her eyes as she smiles towards me. "But then the next morning came and you were nowhere to be found, the day after that, the day after that... another two years spent with eyes locked onto the stars, wishing it all to be over."

I step closer only for her to open up her eyes, she steps forward and rests her head on my shoulders. "What took you so long?"

"I got caught up," I breathe out. "The world wanted me dead, so I fought my way back."

"Dumbass," she breathes out, "you off all people should have known to watch your back no matter what, everything you went through... and still... it just never got better for you... for anyone," she breathes out.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't apologise," she breathes out with a painfilled laugh. "I just don't know what else to say, I never thought I'd see this day... maybe I just want to hide the fact that I want to cry? I don't know. Stop talking. Just stand here for a bit."

I don't say a word and allow her to do as she wants to.

She breaks the silence. "I know this will come off as horny but I promise that it isn't that... but... can I use you tonight? It just doesn't work with anyone else... sorry that I am only thinking about me so if you don't want to... don't you dare hesitate to tell me."
