With The Hideous ~ A Dottore/reader fanfic

Chapter 4 ~ "Him"

The man's body bolted round the instant your grasp landed on him, his sapphire hair flowing in the wind trying to follow his sudden movements.

His face covered with a pale coloured mask only revealing a single crimson eye.

"This was him, it had to be.. it looks.. just like him."

Even though most of his face was covered and you could only go off his hair colour and a single eyeball, you were convinced this was the man you knew such a long time ago.

"Tch- what the hell-."

An irritated voice escaped out from under the mask, only then did you realise you had been plainly staring at him.

"Uh- I- uhmm.."

You had finally found him, but now that you did you have no idea what to say.

You never thought you would actually come face to face with this man again so you never prepared a speech or anything like that.

Soon after he had expressed his surprise the male next to him came to a stop and turned around.

"Oh? What have we got here?"

He wore a gentle face with a small smile that was framed with a pair of glasses and slightly wavy obsidian black hair.

Your gaze moved between them, still no words able to leave your mouth.

Although you were stunned and frozen in place, confusion was beginning to set in.

"Why doesn't he recognise me..?"

You knew you looked a bit different to how you looked during your younger days all due to how sickly and pale you looked now but you still had the same features, you hadn't changed much but he still didn't seem to know who you were.

"Don't you.. recognise me..?"

The man seemed to raise an eyebrow as he bent down slightly to look straight into your face.

"Hmmm… pantsy do I know this woman?"

The other male bent down to your level too and peered into your face as the other had done.

"I told you many times before not to call me that, anyway."

"Hmmm… not that I know of, I've never seen her before so.."

You stood completely still as these two men investigated your face with great detail.

"Hmm.. should we consult prime?"

"Prime..? Who the hell is that.. oh god am I going to get in trouble with the Fatui Harbingers… oh my god.."

You started panicking slightly at the thought.

The two males looked deep in thought till the dark haired one spoke up.

"Tell me your name Miss."

His voice was gentle and kind, strange for a Fatui Harbinger, it made you want to trust him. Maybe that's the whole reason why he was so nice.

"U-uhm.. it's Y/n"

You felt intimidated by these two taller and much stronger men.

"What a lovely name that is, you may remember me as Pantalone."

He bent down further towards you and gently grasped your hand to place a small kiss on top of it as a greeting. You blushed slightly but brushed it off knowing this man must've been quite a gentleman and probably did this often.

"Now tell me why you have so desperately stopped us today."

The more and more you looked at him the more his smile looked forced.
