The Crows- Fei Hargreeves x Reader

Chapter 9- Hotel Oblivion

A/N: This is a short one!!

Last Time: '"Chris... what's going on?" He shakes and shakes and shakes and shakes until all you see is a bright light consuming you..."

Fei's POV. 1st Person:

I have my hand on Y/N's shoulder as I pull them away with me. Chris is seizing and I immediately know something went wrong with the Kugelblitz, Chris is about to blow. I yank Y/N back before yelling "CHRIS IS GONNA BLOW GET DOWN-" and then he explodes.

My ears are ringing but there's only one thing on my mind, Y/N. I can feel them moving in my grasp and knowing that they didn't get killed is enough to make me feel like crying happy tears. I summon a crow hoping to get a good look at them. They look up to me and I notice tears in their eyes. We don't get time to dwell on what happened because Five is already yelling at everyone to run. I take Y/N's hand pulling them along with me as we run away from the Kugelblitz, considering it's currently larger than ever and rapidly spreading destroying everything in its wake.

Using a crow, I take a quick survey of everyone running and am pleased to see that everyone is alive, however my legs almost give out when I see Reginald has made it as well and is currently leading the charge. Y/N's hold on me is the only thing that keeps me from freezing up- then marching right over to him and giving him a piece of my mind...or maybe a punch to the face. I distract myself by watching the world around me, or what's left of it anyway. I can only describe the site as the world simply... crumbling.

After what seems like hours of endless running, we make it to a hotel named 'Hotel Oblivion' which seems a bit too ominous for my liking. It's the only building standing as the black nothingness gets closer and closer. We don't hesitate to run into the building- slamming the doors shut behind us. It gives me a false sense of security, but one look outside will help you think otherwise.

Readers POV. 2nd Person:

When we make it into Hotel Oblivion you take a second to catch your breath. Fei's crow tilts its head as it watches you slide down the nearest wall to momentarily compose yourself. The others head into the lobby and begin doing various things. Luther and Sloane tenderly embrace each other, Lila is resting her head on Diego's shoulder, Allison and Viktor are glaring at each other, Klaus is annoying Reginald by asking him a million questions rapid fire, while Five and Ben are having a heated argument that ends when Ben stomps his way towards you. "Uh oh" you mumble which causes a chuckle to leave Fei, who has since joined you on the floor. "Your brother is annoying, you know that?" "Yeah man I could've told you that myself." He drops to the floor sitting beside you and Fei before giving the both of you a once over. "You guys are okay right?" Fei throws her arm around your shoulder and gives you a smile; you notice her crow is gone "yeah we're alive and kicking" her grin falters "Chris... he didn't make it." Her statement dims the mood, you'll miss his endearing beeping sounds.

You slowly lean against Fei hoping to offer some form of comfort. Ben voices his thoughts on the matter by saying "yeah but we still have each other." He then hops up and starts sauntering away, you yell after him. "SOFTIE!" He doesn't look back as he flips you off. Fei snorts and gently moves you from her shoulder. You go to question her but her lips on yours stop you short. You kiss back before she gently pulls away all too soon. You wish the kiss would have continued though her words properly distract you, "I almost lost you..." The idea makes you pause. Taking a deep breath you respond, "and I almost lost you... but we're both still alive and kicking just like you said." She smiles just as Sloane and Luther begin approaching.

"Hey Fei, Y/N!" Sloane is the one to greet the both of you. Surprising you however, Luther decides to speak up next, "listen Y/N I know I've been sort of an ass but me and Sloane have something to ask you guys." You glance at Fei whose head is tilted showing that she's actively listening in. "What's going on?" You question. Sloane responds, "Since the end of the world is gonna happen, we figured why not make the most of it." You're intrigued to say the least, "how?" She continues, "we want to spend time with our families and what better way to do that than with a wedding!" ...That is not what you expected but... it could be fun; you do however have one thing that's bugging you. You turn towards Luther. "You actually want me to be there?" He offers you a shaky smile before simply saying "yes." If it was only Luther asking, you'd say no without a doubt. Sloane is looking at you with hope shining in her eyes and you just can't deny her anything. "I'll be there" you then focus on Fei. "What do you say, Fei?" She tilts her head the other way. "Sounds like fun."
