《roses》 ☆bfb/bfdi au☆ [COMPLETE]

17. narrow

coiny

"loser, i'm scared. what if rose is still there?"

"please don't worry, cake. coiny is here to protect us-right, coiny?"

"um..." i look ahead, staring into the dark forest. i grip the knife tighter. "...yeah. sure."

the ground increasingly got more messy and trampled as we ventured deeper into the woods. in a few minutes, we reached a clearing with a bright light on the sidelines.

"l...loser, where did rose go...? i-is it preparing to ambush us!?"

as loser tried to calm down cake, i went towards the light source. i recognized their face:

"firey? oh my mint, firey, what the hell happened to you? we need to get you help immediately!" the duo approaches us, just as worried. i turn to them. "hey, you two, could you help firey get to golf ball's lab?"

firey coughs up blood. "please, coiny, i'm fine-i can help myself, i swear-"

"DUDE. you are dying-you can't even pick yourself up! you can't just ignore these things! you ignored leafy, see where that got you?"

"that's completely unrelated, you asshole!" he retorts, voice raspy.

i shift my grip on my knife. "you little...!"

loser cuts in between us. "HEY, hey, let's put our differences aside for once. you can hate each other when firey isn't dying. c'mon, firey, lets go."

neither of us respond as loser and cake work together to haul firey out of the forest. i sigh. it's just me now.

god, what was i thinking in that moment?

i picked myself from off the ground, sighing. i was about to go find rose until i heard a branch snap. my body tenses up, afraid i'd end up like firey.

"l...leafy? rose?"

i have a feeling i'm bring watched.
by multiple people.
as i do a full 360, i see pairs of red eyes light up from between the trees.
then... i land on a single bright eye.

i narrow my eyes at rose.

"you were here this whole time."

it steps out from the shadows. "you really thought i ran away? i'm not a coward compared to your fire friend."

he is not my friend, and you're being hypocritical.

"let's just get this over with-i already know what your goal is." its minions take a step forward, ready to fight.

"no."

"hm?"

"we fight one-on-one."

"interesting..." it hisses, "it's like you think this fight will be even that way."

i stare intently at it.

"hmm, alright then...we can play your silly game." rose snaps, and the vines brainwashing my teammates slithered away, letting them fall to the ground unconscious. my breath hitches at the sudden noise, but i keep my composure. "i'd like to see you try to save leafy."

i squeeze the knife's handle.

"make your move, lover boy."
