Chapter 9: What memories? (Y/n l/n POV)

Your pov | In Alban's room |

"come on Alban, I promise I won't leave," I said, in an attempt to soothe him. I was sitting on his bed with him leaning on me. "you said you wouldn't before" he fought back. I sighed. I ran my fingers through his hair. It was soft. "I will never break my promises again, okay?" he nodded.

I heard his quiet snoring to prove he fell asleep. I have had to deal with this every night since I slept with Luca. I shouldn't have gone out that night. Things might be different if I didn't go out that night. I laid back abit, with Alban resting his head on me.

5. That's how many uses I have left in my portal gloves.
4. That's how many steps until I'm in my room.
3. That's how many minutes I have until Alban wakes up again.
2. That's how many strikes I have until Sonny and Alban don't trust me.
1. That's how close I am to just porting away from here.

I took a deep breath. I have a good-paying job that lets me pay rent and keep the lights on. Why would I leave Diamond City anyway? Tomorrow, I'll go to Eden to visit an old friend of mine. He used to be a professor but stopped to follow his passion. I know there's always a chance of things going wrong, but I'm pretty sure I can handle tough situations with my smarts and portal gloves.

I carefully moved Alban into a better position and knocked on my door to see if Luca was awake. Luca opened and had a little smirk on his face. "relax man, I just need my charger" I also smirked. I could grab a T-shirt and shorts while I'm here. "ah okay! Let's chat as well!" he said cheerfully. "let's chat later, sorry. I gotta wait until Alban is in a deeper sleep to get stuff done." I replied. I didn't mean to sound like I had an attitude. It happened by itself.

"hey, remember, I can always take that attitude if you're not careful" he snaked his arms around my waist. I didn't mind this. It felt like a partner was doing it. "go ahead then~" I flirted abit. All of our encounters were filled with a specific type of tension. I grabbed my charger and turned to him. "Make me lose my attitude" he chuckled. "I will when we 'chat' later" he whispered in my ear seductively.

I felt myself burning up, but I had to keep calm. "got it" I moved his arms away and grabbed my pyjama shorts and a t-shirt. "see ya then" I walked off to Alban's room, reeling from the encounter. He was starting to wake up. "y/n?" he called out groggy. "I'm here, I just got my charger, okay?" I replied. I plugged the charger in and took off my gloves. I plugged them in and sighed. The shakiness began again.

I sat on his bed again. "I told you I wouldn't leave, didn't I?" I asked, kind of jokingly. "I'll still be in the apartment but I won't be in your room okay? I have to get a few things done." I told him, rubbing his shin carefully. "Okay, that's fine" he replied sleepily. "get sleep, Alban" I spoke softly. He nodded and started drifting off to sleep. I kept a close eye on him, making sure he was sleeping.

I grabbed my clothes and went to my bathroom. I placed the clothes on the sink counter and turned on the shower. I think you already know what happens, I wash my hair and body and get out. I then off the shower and quickly put my clothes on. I brushed my hair and dried it.

I walked to the kitchen and grabbed the black gloves to see if that will calm my shaky hands. I put them on and it helped a little. I turned into the main room and saw Luca standing there, arms crossed and smirking.

"hello there, mr muscle Man," I said as calmly as I could. He giggled. This man is attractive and the thought that I could be screwing this guy on a regular base excited me ALOT. He placed his hand on the wall beside me. I wasn't a lot shorter than him, but he towered over me in this position.

His hand crept up to my face and I looked at him. I hummed at him. The warmth from his hand brought me comfort. I leaned into his hand. "So, let's talk" He broke the silence. I nodded and sat on the sofa. Luca sat beside me. "so... why do you baby your brothers? or whatever I should call them" He asked me.

I opened my mouth to speak but thought back quietly. I always have been like this. I always have been looking after them. I always have been protecting them. I have been burnt and shot and stabbed while looking after them. Why was I babying them? I closed my mouth and glared at the floor.

I sighed. "I... Don't know"

Was it too late in my life to have a midlife crisis? or maybe it was too early... I growled quietly. "I've always been looking after Alban... I met him when he was 2 years old... I've grown up with him ever since. I have always been protective over him.." I looked at the floor. "We met Sonny and his parents when we tried to steal something from a store. Sonny had me on the floor while I told Alban to run" The memories flooded my head. I remember the pain of Sonny's knee on my back.

I didn't even notice I was starting to tear up. I never cry. "Y/n... Breath" he sounded serious and I felt his warm hand on my cheek. 

I was having a flashback. 

|Young Y/n flashback moment|

"Come on Alban, I know you are scared, but your Onee-san will be fine" I held Alban's hand and took him into the store. There were very few people there. Perfect. I felt him squeeze my hand. "What if we get caught?" "There is no 'we' in that case. I'll need you to hide around the corner, alright?" He nodded. 

I took a deep breath and walked into the store with Alban in tow. I went straight to the medicine aisle. I picked up the most expensive medicine. It was the exact one we needed. I looked around and put it in my pocket. "Go find a toy, little Cat, I have a few more things I need to get" I squeezed his hand and let him run off. 

I picked up a few bandages and put them in my pocket as well. I went to the toy aisle where Alban was. There was a little blonde boy with his parents. "Come on, little cat, have you picked out something?" I asked and got Alban's attention. He smiled and held up a little bee plush. I smiled and nodded. I took his hand again and we made our way to the front of the store. 

Suddenly, I was pushed to the floor when I heard the police being called. Shit. "Alban run!" I tried to get him to leave but he refused. The blonde kid had his knee on the centre of my back while holding my head to the floor. "You're hurting him!" I heard Alban cry out. "I'll be fine, little cat" I was still a little young to be arrested, but I can be held in a cell until my parents come. 

I was roughly picked up and forced to leave the medicine and bandages on the floor. Alban was talking to a policewoman. he was crying. I looked at the blond kid while having my arms held behind my back. "Wait!" he called out. "Momma, can we take them in?" 

The lady the kid was with smiled. "We'll see, okay? Maybe we can get them out of whatever situation they're in" she assured him. The cold metal of the handcuffs felt painful. Alban ran to me and hugged me tightly. "Onee-san, please be okay!" I gave an empathetic smile. 

"No worries, Little cat, I'll be fine." I kneeled to talk to him. "They are going to take me to the local station to ask me questions. They might ask you some questions too. I promise I'll be fine" I knew it would be a long shot, but maybe they'll leave me off because I'm still young.

The next thing I know, I'm in the adoption agency with Alban, waiting for the kid's mom to finish the paperwork.

"Y/n, talk to me" he shook me carefully. I looked at Luca. "Sorry, just remembering things..." 
"What memories?" I sighed. "The day that Alban and I were finally off the streets" 

It was a terrifying memory. It was the first time I had ever been arrested. I trembled a little. Luca pulled me into a hug. I felt a little daring after that memory and kissed him. I felt his smirk in the kiss and he placed his hands on my waist and pulled me a little bit closer. 

"So, want to do this regularly?"
