TW: Mentions of Blood And Death

•●●●●●•

"Azulin.." My voice shook as he leaned close. My mind told me "no" but my heart beat for him.

Sure he had anger issues, perhaps even traces of jealousy. Yet somehow, I yearned for him. Once this War ends, I want to get closer to him, know him on a more personal level.

"I can help him be a better person." My mind whispered. But right now, we had to focus on getting home.

I managed to control myself, "Look we can make this work after the mission, after the War! But for now we should hold off on doing anything else."

He paused, and remained silent.

"No one tells me to wait." He thought, "Especially not what belongs to me." Those piercing blue eyes gleamed with malice just for a moment, then he spoke, "The mission is over Y/n. They're dead, all of them. Remember?"

Wow he was blunt.

"It's not over until we get home." Truly I was in disbelief by his words. Sure he wasn't wrong, but nevertheless it felt crude to say such a thing. My eyebrows furrowed and I rose up, "Look I'm going back to camp."

Then for a split second his true colors were exposed. Her trying to leave sure got a strong reaction out of him. In an act of desperation Azulin reached out, fingers clutching her wrist, "No."

My heart raced in this very moment.
A single memory flashed by, the same day I became a recruit; when a stranger had the audacity to grab my wrist and tried to 'sweet talk' me.

'SLASH'

A faint grunt followed.

A long, dreadful silence filled the air. A wave of adrenaline pumped my veins, then realization hit.

I just lacerated Azulin.

His grip loosened, and he brought his palm up to his cheek. Azulin felt the minor scratch swell up with fresh blood, "Fiesty."

"Azulin, I'm sorry-.."

He smirked, blue irises flickering in the soft moonlight, "You think I'm going to wait on you? No Y/n. You belong to me."

Azulin was far beyond the point of no return. An unhealthy obsession has grown, completely consuming his thoughts, actions, and words.

He wants to..no..

He will have her all to himself, and once he ends this War, he'll go down in history as The Eternal and Beautiful Chosen One..with Y/n by his side.

I was speechless.

'You belong to me'

Those words rang in my head. An uneasy feeling washed over me, and finally I managed to speak. "You don't own me Azulin. And I say this because I like you...you need serious help."

With that, I turned around and walked off. My breath quickened, adrenaline lingering still as really I was in disbelief.

Azulin watched her go. Oh how he could easily claim her, but not right now. Not yet.
