Forbidden love (Honkai Star Rail Blade x Reader)

Dubious

"You're such a—"

Blade took my arm and made me turn around in the stairs, which made me lose my balance.

"A what ? What am I in your eyes, now ?" He smirked arrogantly, and I rolled my eyes.

He was dangerously close to me now, and I felt my heart pounding in my chest against my own will.

"Call the elevator." He pointed towards the little door.

"I'm taking the stairs." I walk away, and I hear him chuckling.

"When did I say that you had a choice here ? Stop running away." He grabbed my arm and almost threw me in the elevator, which appeared to be here now.

Since when was it so small ? I feel as if my body was being crushed by the atmosphere. There are still eighteen floors to pass.

"So, why don't you give in already ?" He talked more calmly than before and looked straight at the door of the elevator. What was he talking about ? Give in to what ?

"What ? What do you mean ?"

He sighed as an answer, and without me realising it, he was holding my chin and looking into my eyes darkly. I looked away, trying to hide the flush forming on my cheeks.

"What's up with you being so bipolar?" He let go of my chin and the ding indicating that we were at my floor rang. Phew.

"Me ? If this isn't audacity." He said, walking out swiftly of the elevator.

I rolled my eyes and stared around. The place did not change at all. Fondling for my keys, I noticed that Blade had them. He was opening my door. I'm going to kill him, seriously.

"Hey ! Now you're a thief ?" I stomp on the floor as I walk up to him, and he smirks while entering my apartment.

"It will depend if you want me to still something tonight." What ? I think for a bit and gulp, unsure of what that meant exactly.

I look around and touch the walls. This was really where I lived. So this place is dangerous...? Why do I feel so safe then ?

"This is quite...restricted." Blade said sarcastically.

"Excuse me, sir, big house and big car. I do not have THAT much money."

"With your current pay, you could afford so much better. You just have some really bad tastes." I roll my eyes and try to ignore his remarks.

I close the door and sit on my couch. God, I missed my place.

"Why are you still here ? I am home and safe now. Why don't you leave, yeah ?"

"Not happening." He said gruffly.

"You're not going anywhere alone tonight, miss." His voice held a hint of concern mixed with irritation.

Blade stepped closer, towering over me. Despite his menacing presence, there was something about him that made my heart race faster.

"You. Get over here." He commanded, reaching out to grab me by the collar of my shirt, pulling me close. I felt my breath quickening.

"Listen up, girl." he whispered into my ear on purpose.

"If you ever try to behave like that with me like this again, there will be consequences, understood?" He looked at me straight in the eyes.

"You're getting on my nerves really, really bad." I frown. Me ??

"Yeah ? I don't care."

"Stop being so childish."

"Stop being so—!" With a sudden burst of strength, Blade lifted me off the ground effortlessly, holding me by my waist.

"That's what you want, isn't it ? Annoying me to the point I can't stand it anymore?" His voice got husky, and he looked at my lips. Fuck.

"Didn't you say that I meant nothing to you ? Why do you keep doing this ?" I retorted bitterly. He was getting on my nerves yet...

"Isn't that what you want to hear? That I don't care about you?" He retorted, his voice filled with fake indifference.

He pushed me against the wall harder, trapping me between him and the cold wall behind me. His eyes were hard to read. He looked down at me.

"You have a serious problem." I click my tongue and look away.

"Watch that little mouth of yours, or else it'll become useful for once." Good lord. If I could have, I would have melted on the spot and left. This man sometimes...

"Damn you..." I mutter, out of arguments.

Blade's eyes narrow dangerously, reading the mixed emotions on my face. He sees the fear mixed with something else—something he can't quite put his finger on just yet.

Something I can't do as well. His grip loosens slightly, but only enough so that I don't feel too much discomfort. How nice. Sure.

"What is it?" He asks suddenly, tilting his head to the side ever so slightly to get a better look at my face.

"Do I scare you? Or am I making you flustered?" I seriously can't think straight anymore.

He releases one hand from my wrist and then reaches down to brush his fingers against my inner thigh, which makes me shiver.

Blade chuckles darkly. I feel like he is enjoying the effect he has on me.

"That's better." He murmurs, each movement sends tickles all over my body. He looks at me more seriously.

"Now, tell me, why do you keep running?" His voice lowers even more, almost hypnotic.

"Do you truly think you can be in denial forever?" He chuckles and puts me down slowly.

"Denial of ? What do you mean by that ?" I feel my heart skip a beat. This game of his was making me lose my mind. Deep inside, I knew.

"Your feelings for me, Y/N." That's when my heart dropped. Feelings ?? What feelings ?

"Don't look at me like that. Isn't it the truth ?" He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me.

"N—no ? Why would I have feelings for you ! I hate you !" He chuckled and looked at me from head to toe.

He somehow looked offended, but then again, he smirked.

"Prove it, then. Prove me that you don't have feelings for me." Oh.

"Go on, do something to show me this little behaviour of yours. I love it."
