Water's Serenity (Furina X Fem Reader)

Chapter 26: Tour De Force

[Furina's PoV]

As Y/n managed to outmatched Lumine, she used her polearm- ready to finish her off but luckily Lumine managed to block it on time and was sent stumbling on the ground.

I was scared to see how Lumine was now being overpowered by Y/n as she was pushed to the ground. My face filled with worry as I had to intervene before things turned out for the worst.

"Y/n..."

When my voice reached her, Y/n instantly stopped in her tracks and seemed surprised to hear her name being called.

I could tell that Y/n was even filled with confusion as to why she heard her name being called out by me despite being completely lost in her mind. It was quite a terrifying sight to see Y/n with her blank eyes and her emotionless face beneath her yaksha mask.

All of them, including the people of Fontaine tried shouting at me that it's dangerous and should stay back yet I didn't listen as I slowly walk towards Y/n.

As I kept my steady pace, the fear I felt earlier grew into intense anxiety as I came even closer to Y/n who is now completely lost to madness.

I knew the situation was extremely dangerous as I might get hurt myself if I was to get too close but I didn't care about the danger anymore, not when it comes to Y/n.

"Y/n, do you remember my answer when you asked me the question that if one day, you might lose your sanity and you say you wouldn't hurt me? Well, even today, I stand proud of my answer." I exclaimed.

"Lies! Why did you run away from me..."

As Y/n finally spoke, this only managed to catch me off guard as I felt even more frightened when she was now speaking in a dark and twisted manner yet I continued walking despite the heavy atmosphere I was breathing in as the people's eyes are on me.

I was now getting even closer by every step I was taking. Although I felt my body shivering from the feeling of dread as I was slowly getting closer to her but I managed to stay focused on my goal.

"I had to step away- not because I didn't care, but I love you too much that you didn't deserve someone as naive and mentally unstable like me in the past."

This sudden revelation of me confessing my love to Y/n again made the people's eyes widened in shock that it made me feel a bit embarrassed at first but I quickly turned my attention back to Y/n as I now slowly reached her with my own hand and placed it gently on Y/n's chest.

"No one knows me better than you do- all my acts, deceptions, and lies have all seen and heard it by you." I said while slowly closing my eyes.

"You know me and my heart just as much- you know that all I ever wanted is for you to live peacefully without your dark thoughts that keep clouding your mind."

I felt like I was about to say something more, but realized I wasn't sure what else to tell her so I opened my eyes and looked at Y/n's eyes beneath her mask with a firm and gentle gaze.

"You know, I envied you, Y/n, that you could just face whatever problems you're facing, while I, kept running away from my own problems in the past- pushing you away in the process..."

"I was afraid that one day, you might use my vulnerability to deceive me, yet all of that thoughts suddenly came to waste when I went back to the Palais and found that you were no longer there, waiting for my explanation, waiting for me."

I finally managed to express my feelings towards her as my voice was filling with honesty and sincerity.

"It hurts to think that you were no longer there, especially when Morax has informed me from the past that your eyes are empty and your aura seems so distant after you've returned to Liyue, just like how it is right now."
