Whispers Of What Once Was. (Whisper the Wolf x Male Reader.)

Chapter 6: Recollection

Whispers pov:

"So... what happened to them?"

The words ring in my mind, it hurts to think, let alone talk about the Diamond Cutters. Maybe it will help to get it off my chest... Besides, I trust Y/N, so I guess it won't hurt... "T-they... they were killed, ripped apart by E-Eggman's robots, we were betrayed by one o-of our own... M-Mimic..." I pull the last picture we took together out of my cloak, and show it to him, theres an ocelot, a green howler monkey, a lion, an octopus, and me. Telling him the names of the members and their expertise. "Slinger, our marksman. Claire Voyance, our psi-op. Me, the scout. Smithy, our crafter. ...and Mimic, the infiltrator..."

Y/N looks at the picture for a while, then smiles. "You look really happy in that picture..." I smile and look at the picture. "Yea, they were the best friends I could ever have, until..." I start tearing up a bit. Y/N looks at me with a reassuring look. "You can think about it all you want... I'll be right here." I smile to him, and after a bit of thinking I look down at my mask and start going through the video files. Finding the one that I refused to delete.

"Put it on" I hand my mask to him, and he puts it on. He watches the video of the Diamond Cutters dying. After a short while, he slowly takes it off. "oh my god..." Y/N looks me in the eyes, and says softly. "I'm so sorry..." I look down and close my eyes, the memories start to flood back in, all the good times and fun we had, all being drowned out by the horror of their deaths. I feel like there are walls closing in around me, going to trap me, and drown me in the darkness forever. I'm sorry I couldn't save you, I'm sorry Mimic is still alive, I'm sorry I'm such a screw up, I'm sorry-

Suddenly I feel arms wrap around me, at first it scares me, but I look up, opening my eyes, and see that it's Y/N. He feels so warm, his hug makes me feel so much better almost instantly, like he's forcing the darkness away. I hug back, my tail wagging quickly. He laughs as he sees it. "I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, I'm sorry that you had to bear this burden alone, but you've got me now, and I'll help you in any way I can!"

The mental dam holding back my emotions breaks, and I start sobbing uncontrollably into his chest. He just rubs my back, and pulls me close. "Let it all out..." I do indeed let it all out, after about 10 minutes I stop crying, and look up in his eyes. "T-thank you..." he smiles sweetly to me. "Of course! Anytime." I blush as I see his smile. There's no doubt about it anymore, I love Y/N. I want him to love me too, does he love me? He's hugging me... it feels so good. I want to do this more...

After a while we climb down from the tree, the wisps crowding around us, chatting and laughing. he gingerly hands me my wispon. "S-sorry, the wisps told me to..." I take it back and smile. "It's alright." I playfully punch his arm, smiling. As we walk back home, we hear a horribly familiar fit of maniacal laughter behind us.

A/N: oh yess indeed! He is the E.G.G.M.A.N!
