【15】His Smile ✦

✦ = Stick of Truth Parts

〖SECOND PERSON P.O.V〗

You cried quietly to yourself at Stark's pond, sitting about 5 feet away from the zombie-nazis you had just murdered.

"So I've finally found you, hero-princess... get ready, 'cause this is going to be the last battle you ever fight!" You heard someone say blankly.

You turned your head slightly and saw it was Craig who had found you. "P-Please leave me alone..." You barely made out through your cries.

Craig's eyes widened in surprise at your distressed state, and he walked by you, sitting beside you in front of the pond.

"I-I told you to l-leave." You covered your face from him, so he wouldn't see your teary face. 

"I'm afraid I can't do that princess," He responded.

You glanced up from your arms and saw his concerned dark blue eyes.

"P-Please..." You mumbled, into your arms.

Craig sighed and took you into his arms. You moved your face into his chest, and his arms wrapped tightly around you. 

"Just let it all out princess, you don't have to tell me what happened, but you shouldn't keep all your emotions balled up," Craig said in a monotone..

Craig's emotionless, yet caring manner, made you cry even more, in that moment, Craig reminded you of him...

You sobbed into his chest loudly, throwing your arms around him, hugging him tight. " C-Craig...!" You cried out, sobbing even more.

"There... there..." He ran his fingers through your hair holding you close.

"I c-can't go back to him C-Craig...! I can't f-face him!" You shouted.

"Then how about we get outa here princess?" Craig asked, gaining your attention.

You looked up at him in confusion, as tears slid down your eyes.

"My motorcycle is around the corner, you don't have to go back to them. We can go to Clyde's house... and then you sleep over at my house for as long as you want..." Craig suggested.

"I-Is that okay...?" I asked.

"Of course it it,"

"B-But my parents they..."

"I'll talk to them," He said.

"T-Thank you Craig!" You hugged him tightly and he returned it, a smile appearing on his lips.

He's smiling... you thought internally.

"C'mon, let's get go now." He said standing up.

You nodded brightly. Craig led you to his motorcycle that was parked around the entrance of Stark's pond. He hopped on, and you got on behind him. He handed you his helmet.

"Safety first, princess"

〖Your P.o.v〗

"You don't have to call me that, I don't know if I want to do this roleplay thing anymore," I said.

He turned back at me with a small smirk, "Well, now that you don't have your brother to protect you, I guess that's my job now,"

I scoffed, "I can protect myself just fine. I don't need your help," It's true. Although I did need my brother's help a few times, I mostly handled my own just well.
