Forever | Sodo x Reader

Home

Another two weeks passed and I was getting a little drained out by just doing the same thing over and over again. Yes, I was finally able to use my power sometimes, even though it still didn't function the way I wanted to, but staying inside all day is kinda depressing. I haven't seen my family in four weeks and I miss them more than anything else. Especially when I was talking to them, like at this moment.

"I have something very important to tell you, Tony" I said barely above a whisper as I was laying on Sodos bed, the phone next to me.

"Yeah? Did something happen?" he asked and his voice made me want to cry and break out of this church, running into his arms. Into his save and strong arms that held me tight so many times in the past.

"You believe me, right?" I breathed and looked around the room as if a spy could be here anywhere. But nothing, not even a little bug. I was alone. Sodo was in the big training hall where I never went to so far, probably showing off to the others or sum.

"Believe you what?" Tony asked softly and I could almost feel him tilting his head, like he always did when he was confused.

"That.. I am not human. That I have supernatural powers" I said with a shaky voice, waiting nervously for his answer.

"You know, just because you may have supernatural powers and vampire blood in your veins, doesn't make you someone different. You're still the same person like five years ago, like eight years ago and eighteen years ago, when you first shat yourself as newborn" he spoke, making me chuckle a little, "no seriously, y/n. No matter what will happen, you will still always have those (colour) eyes that belong to my brother/sister."

You never know what will happen, is what I wanted to say, thinking about how the emeritus brothers do not want to be brought in connection to Echo who once was their sister. But fuck that, I would never become like her, I'd rather kill my self.

"Thanks" I mumble and look over to the phone at his profile picture. All four of us siblings as young kids beneath a Christmas tree. A green present sat next to me and was as big as my whole body. I'm sure I crawled into the empty box at one point.

"Now, get it off your chest. What do you need to tell me?" Tony asked softly.

"I'm finally able to.. somehow.. control it." I said and gulped.

"Really?" He asked and, to my surprise, sounded excited. I looked at my phone and took it in my hands, pressing the face time button. My brother picked up seconds later and I smiled as I saw the wide grin on his lips. "Show me" is all he said.

"One second" I mumbled and leaned the phone against the headboard of Sodos bed. "Can you see me?"

"Yeah, you have some good ass internet in this church" he laughed and stared at the screen. The fact that he was excited made my heart skip a beat. How much I wanted to hug him right now. How much I wanted to feel the comfort whenever he pulled me tight but it wasn't possible.

"Okay, wait. I can't promise things because I'm still working hard on myself so I'm sorry in advance if it won't work." I said and took a deep breath in, feeling my heartbeat increase. It hammered against my ribs so much it hurt.

"Don't worry, just be yourself and relax. You seem very stressed" Tony spoke and tilted his head.

Relax.

There it was again. The word that helped me so much in this situation. It echoed in my mind like someone had screamed it in a big empty room. This day has been quite eventful and exhausting but now, as the day drew to a close, I was finally able to let go.

Deep breath in

Deep breath out

I ignored the sounds of the world, closed my eyes and imagined a clock in front of me. The glowing, floating clock with its incessant ticking. But it gradually receded instead of coming closer. Smaller and smaller until it was only a tiny blue spot in the back of my mind and suddenly I felt a surge of electricity rushing to my fingers, causing the tingling I've wanted to feel for so long again. An amazing feeling. It started from my heart, through my veins and into my fingertips, like a vibrant current.
