Dimencreas (One-Shots)

In The Name Of Love - Arlecchino

You are Clorinde's younger sister, and of course, she taught you many weapons to master including wielding a sword and pointing a gun. Due to your sister's strict teaching, you managed to earn yourself a title as one of Fontaine's Justice Executor. Now, your gun seems to be aiming at the person in front of you— your lover, Arlecchino or goes by the name ‘The Knave’.

“You're going to shoot me?” Arlecchino's eyes flickered with a bit of fear before she composed herself, turning her gaze cold again.

“What's there to be gained from shooting your own lover? Your actions are... illogical.” Her voice stayed calm and flat, barely veiling her irritation.

“You must be tired, Y/n. I'm sure someone as proficient in their duties as you are is in need of some... rest.” Her voice softens as her tone hinting at something else.

Although you remained your stand as you tightened the grip of the handle more.

It was midnight so surely people barely left their homes just to go out. And this was the perfect opportunity to catch Arlecchino.

“I'm here to take you in.” You said with a serious voice.

“Take me in..? You mean to arrest me?” Arlecchino was more amused than surprised. The corners of her mouth curved at the words, her eyes widening for a second. “...And what reason would that be, hmm?”

“You've been validating the law of Fontaine. Therefore the court wants to stand a trial against you.”

“I see.”

Despite her calm and collected demeanor, her eyes were like the eyes of a predator; cold and piercing. She took a step towards you, one hand in her pockets.

“Are you afraid?”

Her voice was still cold, devoid of emotion, but there was an undercurrent of... something.

You scoffed,“Of you?”

“How rude.” She said with a sigh.“And to think that I care so much about you, little dove.”

Her eyes narrowed as her gaze turning sharp, before she smirked playfully.

”Do you really think you can handle me, little miss knight?” Her tone dripped with mockery.

“...Or are you going to be the one to kneel?” She added.

However, you just maintain your position and loaded your gun, indicating that you are serious.

“Am I?”

Arlecchino just looked at you, her stare becoming one of curiosity, before her gaze went to the gun.

“Is that so? In that case...”

Without any warning, she rushed towards you and grabbed the gun then twisted it out of your hands before pushing you against the wall and pressing the gun to your cheek.

“Kneeling won't be necessary after all~” Her tone was still as cold as before, but there was the slightest hint of a smile on her lips.

You just glared at her before breaking yourself free from her grasp and took the gun away from her before aiming it at her head again.

“I suggest that you should just cooperate.” You suggested.

Yet Arlecchino only backed away slowly, grinning as she did.

“I... should? And if I do not?”

It wasn't a question, rather more like a bait.

“You have two choices, little knight. One... you lower your weapon and leave. Two...”
