"I Wish You'd Die Already!" (Perospero x Reader)

Bitter Confronation

Perospero stood in front of Kairo, trying to maintain his composure. Tears were pouring down his cheeks, he tried to stop himself but he couldn't. "I don't know what you expected, Charlotte. Some random creepy woman shows up in your life and you just trust her? Sounds like a wish of a-" "I knew the whole time, ma'am!" He choked out, holding his head in his hand. Kairo sighed. "Did she tell you or..." She asked, purple smoke beginning to run from her mouth. "I knew from the start. There's no doubt about it; there never was ant doubt in my mind. I just- I tried to ignore it." Perospero spoke. "There's no ignoring things like that, Charlotte. I don't know what you did to YN to convince her to love you, but it's mighty impressive-" "I didn't do anything to her! She actually loves me! I didn't put a spell on her or threatened her; whe fell in love with me by her own volition!" He yelled, still crying, his makeup beginning to run. Kairo turned her head. "I wonder if YN is planning on killing you... You know what, Charlotte? I have a deal for you." Kairo spoke. Perospero glared at her. "I want you to talk to her tonight. Tell her you know her secret. See how she reacts then. If you live; I'll go back empty handed and lose my finger no arguments asked. If she kills you; then you're dead!" She spoke, her smile wide. Perospero sighed, trying to contain himself. "YN won't shoot me. I guarantee." He said, his face red from the crying. Kairo smiled. "Then I see I'll be taking my leave." She said, smiling wide. "If you see Bird-man or Double-Double, tell them that I've gone home." She said, the purple smoke lifting her away. "True love is worth losing a finger for, aye, Charlotte?" She asked as the pillar floated her back to the dock, away from the crying Perospero.

I myself, though, sat in my room nervously sketching a biscuit lamp that sat next to me. 'I can't believe I'm getting married.' I thought. 'And to the man I came here to murder, nontheless.' A knock came from the door and I whipped around. "Come in!" I yelled, and the door creaked open. Cracker stood there, smiling at me. "Well hi, Cracker, I haven't seen you in a while, have I? How are the mice in the basement doing?" I inquired, smirking at the tall man. He let out a loud chuckle. "Oh the mice are fine! I just bring them little chunks of cheese sometimes... I came to ask; how are your nerves before the wedding? It's a big deal and it's what... Three days from now?" He asked, turning his head. I nodded. "It's a little bit messy for certain, but I know everything will be alright. At least; with the wedding itself. I don't think anyone cares enough to crash it, and no one suspicious has been caught lately-" "YN! There's a man in the basement with bird wings who's demanding to see you!" A chess piece guard yelled, cutting me off. My eyed widened. 'Leyroye you piece of trash!' I thought, my fists clenched tight. Cracker stepped out of the doorway as I came through the door, hot to the touch. Cracker nervously chuckled. "Ah... While you're down there tell the mice I said hi." Cracker muttered, slightly nervous at my state. I nodded, then gestured to the chess piece guard to lead the way.

We walked down the steps and into the basement, the floorboards creaking more and more as we continued down. "How did he get here?" I asked. "He came flying at the castle, hit a window, and was caught by Oven-sama before he had the chance to do anything." The chess piece guard spoke. I nodded. 'He ran into glass haha!' I thought, a small smile on my face. "Mont'd-or-sama has him locked up right now, so there isn't any need to worry about him trying to fight. Amande-sama is questioning him right now, but she requested you come down here at his demand." He said, directing me to the room. I nodded, thanked him, then walked inside where Amande, Oven, and a really beat up Leyroye were. "Sister YN! Glad to see you!" Oven called, smiling wide at me. I shook my head. "Under other circumstances, this would be great, but we have a criminal who's demanding to see me." I said, walking over to the book Leyroye was caught in. Leyroye smiled up at me and began to chuckle. "I heard what Kairo told your man. I bet he's a little shook up-" "CAN YOU SHUT UP FOR ONCE!?" I yelled, cutting the man off. "I don't know why you're harassing me. You're messing with an EMPEROR'S pirate group. Does that not register in that thick skull of yours?" I asked, snapping back quickly at him. Leyroye seemed taken aback, and he let out a long, deep sigh. "I'm saying that Kairo let you off scot free; not without shaking up your soon to be husband, but you don't have to worry about Kairo. If you see her again you should thank her, and maybe buy her a new finger or something." Leyroye muttered, a disappointed look on his face. Just then, Daifuku and Pudding came running down the stairs, another familiar face in hand. "Inasa!" Leyroye called, tears forming in his eyes. "Leyroye! I'm so glad you're ok! Did you hear what Kairo did? If I ever get my hands on that woman I-" Oven then cleared his throat, cutting off the pale blonde. Daifuku threw him over to Amande, who quickly grabbed him and threw him in the cage with Leyroye. "You're here to crash big brother Peros' wedding, aren't you?" Oven asked, glaring at the two of them. Inasa and Leyroye looked at each other in a confused manner. "Wedding?" They asked in unison. "Wait... Do you guys not know that YN is marrying brother Peros?! It's been the talk of the whole of Totto Land!" Pudding yelled, throwing her hands up. Inasa smiled wide. "Ooh! Marriage! When are you and I getting married, Leyroye-" "I didn't hear about this event, no." Leyroye said, glaring at Inasa. "So, what are you two here for..." Daifuku asked, glaring at the two of them. "Can I request you all leave the room... Oh except for Amande." I asked, slightly nervous at what secrets they may spill. Oven nodded and left, no questions asked, and Daifuku followed after him, but Pudding stood there glaring at me. "What? Is one of them your ex-boyfriends or something?" Pudding asked, turning her head. I sighed. "No, but you'll probably find out something worse than a couple of exs if you stay." I spoke, serious beyond anything I've been before. Pudding nervously nodded, then ran up the stairs after her two older brothers.

"Assassin business, I assume." Amande commented. I nodded. "These are two of the other high-end assassins; 'Bird-man' Leyroye and 'Double-Double' Inasa. Both have devil fruits, and although they both share a brain cell, they're both cunning in battle." I said, glaring at the two of them. Inasa smiled. "Hear that, Leyroye? We share a brain cell!" Inasa said, excited. "She didn't mean that in a good way, dude." Leyroye said, sighing at Inasa. "Oh." Is all he said. "So what is this about Kairo making a deal with Perospero?" I asked, grabbing onto one of the bars of the cell, making the two of them jump back. "All I'm saying is, under certain circumstances, if Perospero does something Kairo told him to do, you guys aren't going to have to worry about her crashing the wedding." Leyroye spoke. He then looked down at the shackles on him. "You probably aren't going to have to worry about me, either." He said, chuckling a little. I sighed. "Do you know what she said to him?" I asked, turning my head. Leyroye shook his head. "No, I don't know exactly what she said to him, but all I know is that you're certainly in for a surprise later on; that's all she told me." Leyroye hummed, a wide smile on his face. I slammed my hand against the metal bars. "If Kairo or either of you hurt him I-" "YN, Amande, it's dinner time!" Pudding called to us. Amande and I looked at each other and sighed. "I'm not done questioning you, I'll be back after dinner." Amande said, glaring at the two men. They nodded nervously, so Amande and I walked up the stairs and into the dinner room.
