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

Chapter 24: Strained

Y/N pov:

For a few days now, me and Whisper have been training vigorously, almost without breaks. I have been getting better, but it would be faster if I wasn't so sore and tired constantly.

Today is all the same, more practice, but something new, Whisper wanted to spar, to test my skills. I was hesitant but agreed, if it would make her happy. She seems angry recently, she's not holding back. I've lost every match, and now I'm even more sore.

"C'mon Y/N, get up!" Whisper yells at me. "If I were Eggmans Robots you'd be dead!" I slowly stand up. "I'm dying anyway..." she looks more angry. "Get back into position." I get back to the starting position. I can hardly stand up straight. "Go!" She runs at me, and I quickly dodge out of the way, but I struggle standing up.

I feel Whispers boot kick my ribs "AGHH, what the hell!?." It hurts more than the metal virus. I turn over and put my hands up. "Time out! Time out!" She looks even more angry somehow, and squats down to me. "Eggman wouldn't give you a time out!" I feel anger course through my veins as she yells at me.

"I'M NOT FIGHTING EGGMAN!"

She backs away a bit. "We haven't fought Eggman in fucking weeks! And I still haven't fully recovered from my time as a zombot, yet here you are putting me through hell, so what, you can feel better about yourself!?"

She seems to tear up. "I-i'm sorry, I n-need you to be the best you can-" "that's another thing, me this, me that, you're so worried about your vision of what you want me to be, your not even concerned with my wellbeing!" She's crying now, but I don't care. "And you know it's true, you've been legitimately hurting me! And you just don't-!" I suddenly cough up blood, and Whisper runs to me.

"Y/N!"

I push her away. "Don't! Just... let me be for a while..." I leave her in the room, and head to my room. I grab my gear, and look at the wisps. "I'm sorry guys, I'm leaving for a while." The wisps look sad and hug me. Green goes into my wispon.

"Green, you can't come with, Whisper needs you." He doesn't come out of the wispon. "Please... you can't come with me." He still doesn't come out. "Fine, you're such a brat. Bye guys..." The wisps wave to me, and I head to the exit. My friends see me, and try to strike up a conversation, but I keep walking, paying them no mind.

Whisper pov:

I fall to my knees, sobbing. I've lost him, I tried to help, but it was to much. It's all my fault. I need to talk to him, I need to apologize.

I head to his room, hoping he will be there. I find the wisps, they float up to me. "What happened?" Orange asks. "I screwed up! I need to find Y/N!" "Him and Green were just heading out." Blue says. I run out of the room towards the exit. I see Y/N's friends on the way there. They stop me. "What did you do!?" The taller one asks. "I messed up!" I run past them, then I see Y/N at the exit. "Y/N! Please don't leave!" He turns to me. "Whisper... I'm leaving for a while." "N-no, please don't leave, I'm sorry!" I grab his arm, and he suddenly flinches, so I let go.

"I understand that you're trying to protect me, but this isnt the way to go about it." "I-I know, I'm sorry..." He looks like he doesn't believe me. "Just... work on it while I'm gone." "Ok... bye." He doesn't respond, and walks out of the door.

Not knowing how to deal with this, I go back into the building, heading towards Tangle's room.

Why did I think hurting him was a good way to make him stonger..?
