Enemy? Lover?

"No!" You gasp watching as a knife pierces your enemies stomach. "Revon!" You yelled running towards your enemy. Pushing through the exhaustion and the blood pouring from your side, you force yourself to run faster and faster. You take the dagger from your thigh and stab the person who hurt your enemy in the neck, making sure there's no way for him to survive. You crouch down next to Revon and place your hand on his wound. "Revon? Hey, hey, stay with me your gonna be ok. I'm gonna get you to a healer ok? Just stay awake please." You plead voice cracking as you try to control your tears. "I won't make it." Revon whispers looking deep into your eyes. "You will." You whisper, looking around for someone, anyone to help. "Y/n...." He croaks, grabbing your face softly. "No. No." You gasp. "Kingston!" You yell, finally seeing your trusted guard. "Y/n! Are you ok? What happened?" Kingston rushes out, checking to see how bad your injuries are. "Help me grab him." You say sternly leaving no room for questions. Kingston does as you asked and picks Revon up. " y/n. Look at me please." Revon pleads, coughing up blood. You look over at him,  both you and Kingston rushing to the castle where the healers are. " You're gonna be ok. I promise." You say, looking him in the eyes. " I need to tell you something." Revon says, looking at you. " Of course anything." You respond, not hesitating to hear what he has to say. "I'm sorry. For all the times I've tried to kill you and torture you." He whispers, blood now flowing quickly from his mouth. " Hey, hey. Look at me." You say, stepping up more so you could see him. " You don't ever have to apologize. We were doing what we were trained to do. Neither of us wanted this." You can see the castle now, so close to your reach. You look at Kingston and like he can read your mind you both sprint towards the castle. You burst through the door Kingston and Revon not far behind. "I need a healer now!" You yell as healers start to run towards you. They bring a stretcher and start to work on Revon while also wheeling him into a room. You follow quickly behind, and quickly look back at Kingston with a nod of appreciation. You sit in the corner of the room and watch as the healers get to work cutting off Revons clothes and working on his wounds. You were so focused on him you don't notice a healer walk up to you and ask if they could attend to your wounds. Having nothing better to do, now knowing Revon is in good hands, you agree. You slowly slip out of your armor and shirt, then sit back down to let the healer do their job. After some time both you and your enemy are resting, him on the bed and you on a chair in the corner, now both with fresh clothes as well. You watch the rise and fall of his chest finding a sense of peace and tranquility knowing he'll be ok. You slowly look up to his face and see that he's looking back at you. "Hey." You whisper. "Hey." He rasped back voice dry. You stand up and grab him a cup of water beside the bed and help him sit up to drink some. "Thank you." He whispers, laying back down and grabbing your hand in his. You sit down next to him and slowly stroke his hair. "Don't thank me. This is my fault." You say feeling guilty because it was your men who hurt him. " Hey, this is not your fault. Like you said we were trained to be like this. We had no choice." Revon said sitting up and grabbing your face. " but I-" you start only to be cut off by Revons lips crashing into yours. You kiss back, never hesitating, having wanted this for so long. Revon slowly pulls away and looks you deep in the eyes. " I love you." He says looking into your eyes like he can see and feel everything you are. " I love you too." You reply smiling and for once in what feels like forever you're happy. Revon pulls you down and lays you both on the bed, your hand and head on his chest while his hand plays with your hair and the other rubs your side. You rub soothing circles on his chest with your pointer finger and slowly look up to him. He looks at you and gives you a small smile. You carefully lean up and peck his lips then lay back down continuing to rub circles on his chest. "Get some rest, my love." Revon whispers huskily, already falling asleep. That night, for the first time in forever, you fell asleep happy and feeling safe in the arms of the one person you'll ever love.
