content: manga spoilers, comfort, my first time writing sigma so probably not the best thing in the world

pawns are disposable pieces once they've been played. there was no need to keep them around once they'd completed their role, so it was always best to sacrifice them and continue on.

sigma was the pawn in this case.

a pawn of one person handed to another, he continued to be used. it was when he fell into the hands of the demon fyodor that he knew that this would be his last run.

he was new to the world and what it had to offer, and that's what made it easy to manipulate sigma. after he completes what he has to do, fyodor would have him killed. knowing that fact instilled fear into the casino man.

also knowing what fate awaited him made sigma lose his mind. constantly running in circles over it, he began to feel sick.

you didn't know sigma for long, but he was easy for you to read. he came off as confident and composed, but you saw past that exterior once you used your ability.

your special ability allowed you to read the emotions of people you looked in the eye. although it could be awkward or unnerving to other people, you often used it.

you harbored no ill intent, but it always felt easier to communicate with someone you understood. with your ability, it became possible.

it was because you could read emotions that you managed to gain the trust of the man who ran the sky casino. you've always been a good talker, so the words you've said to sigma have always provided him some sort of comfort.

but with his association with the decay of the angel and the fact that you were just a civilian, there was almost no hope. sigma would be taken out and you'd have to move on with your life. that was the harsh truth.

you were done playing another game at the casino when you noticed sigma hadn't visited you yet. you never asked him to, but the dual-haired man visited at least one of your games every day you were in the casino. but as the day wrapped up, you still haven't seen him around.

you decided to visit him in his office, which he's welcome you into before. the two armed guards standing outside recognized you but were reluctant to let you inside. with a couple of believable lies spilling from your lips, you were allowed in.

you opened the door silently, looking inside to see if anyone was inside. sigma, the only one there, sat at his desk. his hands gripped at his hair tightly, his shoulders slumped and head down. with the door clicking shut behind you, he jumped in his spot.

his head whipped up to you, and you could see the faint tears on his cheeks.

"sigma..." you murmured as you started to walk towards him.

he immediately swerved his chair around and attempted to fix his appearance, "you shouldn't be in here, y/n."

"i know that, but i couldn't help myself after not being able to see you all day. i wanted to see if you were alright-"

once you arrived at his desk, you attempted to grab his shoulder. the manager flinched at your touch and you immediately took your hand back.

"you don't have to be afraid," you told him, "it's just me. i'm not here to hurt you..."

sigma's lips parted at your words. with your comforting hand on his shoulder, he found some courage to look at you. he's been judged by many before, so it didn't matter to add another.

but instead of saying anything harsh, you merely wiped the corners of his eyes, "it's okay to cry, you know. i know i shouldn't be here in the first place, but you don't have to hide it from me."

after you wiped his tears away, you took his cheeks and cupped them with your hands. new to this sort of affection, sigma stiffened. you were just a customer... so why? why must he feel this way?

he's never had a home, and maybe he thought the casino could be it. but he was wrong, the casino was part of him. his home? well, sigma has found it in you.

he leaned into your hands, "thank you, y/n. thank you..."
