Why Was It Me? (Syntax X Gender Neutral Reader)

Spider Demon

The moment I saw the green haired spider hovering over me, I sat up rather quickly, making him back away a bit.

"Ow... fuck, my head." I had a splitting headache.

"Good, you're awake." He said, walking away.

"What happened?" I mumbled, only now looking at my hands. They were a lavender color. I stared at my hands for a moment. The burn scars on my hands were a darker purple.

"My Queen turned you into-"

"AHH!" I yelped, done processing what had happened.

"....a spider demon." He finished, chuckling. So my panic is amusing to him. "If you think that's bad, you should see what it did to your hair."

"My hair?" I moved my hair a bit to look it. Half of my hair was black, but the other half was green. Like lime green.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"Oh, please, it's not that bad. You'll adjust to it... eventually."

"Eventually? What the hell is that supposed to mean?!"

He groaned, fed up with me already. "You are a spider demon. Permanently."

"....what?"

The demon pinched the bridge of his nose. "God, you really are an imbecile."

"I am not...."

He sighed. "Well... since it seems I am going to be stuck with you-"

"Wait, what?" I asked, super confused. What the hell was going on?

"...because you are a spider demon now, you are going to work for the Spider Queen. It would be natural."

"Oh great.... just my mother fucking luck..." I face palmed. This day was going to be the worst day of my life.

"What's your name?" He asked, his voice still laced and dripping with annoyance.

"It's Y/N."

"Pfft, that's a stupid name."

"Then whats yours?"

"It's Syntax." He adjusted his lab coat.

I started to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"Really?? Syntax??"

"Ugh.... don't question it. I personally like it."

Syntax started to work on something on his laptop. I stood up from the table I had been sitting on. I was a little bit dizzy.... Syntax seemed to notice, reluctantly coming over to me to help me, wrapping an arm around me.

"Ugh, you're going to fall over if you don't get help. I can't risk you breaking anything."

"Uh...." I blushed slightly.

"Thanks."

A mysterious voice eminates through the void, henceforth breaking the forth wall bc the author said so.

"Awh."

"The start of a soon to flower love... adorable how it starts with utter trauma."

Syntax guided me to a bedroom. He said this place in the sewers was called the Silken Web Cave or something of the sorts. The fact that this place even has furniture and working technology...

He said that this bedroom would work as mine for now. He said, and I quote, "We will adjust this room to your liking once we have obtained information about you." I know it was probably just a nerdy way of saying "when we get to know you" but it sounds like he plans on stopping.

I laid down on the surprisingly comfy bed.

I eventually dozed off.

"..."

"...something is burning."

"THERE IS SMOKE COMING FROM THE BUILDING!"

"Somebody call the fire department!"

The door was busted down suddenly. Sirens filled the empty silence and ambience.

"There is no one in here!"

"Are you sure?"

"...yes.

I'm sure, sir."

The young person was forced to fend for herself as the liar left the burning building.

They left, burn marks and scars covering her body as she limped through the dark and damp alleyway. They were coughing violently as their lungs had filled with smoke.

Their clothes were tattered and still burning ever so slightly. The fact they were even alive was remarkable. But the ambulance already left.

They weren't going to trust their boyfriend ever again.

Not after that.

Atleast someone found them when they had passed out in the alleyway.

Its a shame really... that person wasn't going to trust them in soon to happen events.

I woke up, sitting up and gasping in dead silence.

God I hate nightmares.

I hate bad memories.

                                                                                  

I HOPE YALL LIKED THIS.

I may or may not have decided to base Y/N in this story off my LMK oc, hence the hair colors and burn marks stuff.

And also, I'm not the greatest at writing Syntax so if it seems his character is off or if he does stuff outta character, my bad lmao.

Also number 2, IM SORRY I TOOK SO LONG TO UPLOAD, AAAAA. I don't write long chapters-

Also, yall will find out how that mysterious voice is hehehehe
