Seiya x Reader Scenarios

If I was Athena's reincarnation

When I met Seiya for the first time, I still didn't awaken my consciousness as Athena and was introduced as the granddaughter of Kido Mitsumasa. Seiya and his various brothers were all gathered within the Kido Manor and started their horrible training, being tortured by Tatsumi, our butler. At first, I didn't know about the training, only that my grandfather adopted many boys to live with us in the manor. But when I watched Tatsumi beating up a boy in the gardens, I couldn't help but stop him quickly before he could beat him to death.

The boy that day was Seiya.

With the help of my maid, I nursed him back to health and asked him why Tatsumi beat him so harshly. Seiya told me about how he and the other boys were brought to the Kido Manor for untold reasons and ever since then he had to train day in and day out. I felt horrible about what he and the other boys had to go through and confronted my grandfather about why he tortured them. At first he refused to tell me anything and when I still demanded answers, he had me locked in my room to calm down.

I was sitting in my room and stitched a handkerchief, when Seiya somehow managed to snuck past Tatsumi and reached my room. When he heard no response from me, he kind of knew that I was in trouble and went through lengths to look for me. It was a kind gesture from him and I felt moved about his worry for me, when he was the one tortured by my butler. I told him about my confrontation with my grandfather and how I failed to help him and the other boys. But Seiya felt relieved to know that someone was willing to help them, and he told me that he would believe in my sincere heart.

For maybe a year or so, I would always try to get answers from my grandfather, hoping to free the boys but everytime I would ask, he would place me in my room to calm down. And everytime that happened, Seiya would visit me in my room and we would console each other.

Then came the day that changed everything.

My grandfather said that it was time for the boys to pursue their paths as saints and sent them away all over the globe to places in which only saint apprentices would be allowed. I tried so hard to stop it but my grandfather locked me back up in my room and I couldn't help but cry in helplessness.

I couldn't do anything for Seiya.

The night before the first group of boys was to leave the Kido Mansion, Seiya once again managed to snuck into my room and saw me crying on my bed "Hey, what happened?" He asked in worry and sat next to me.

Sniffing, I answered "I'm so sorry. In the end, I couldn't do anything for you all. And now you... *sob*"

"Eh? Do you feel bad for me?" He placed his hand on my shoulder and gave me a reassuring smile "I am to leave for Sanctuary tomorrow. It can't be much worse than the beating I receive from Tatsumi here!" He tried to cheer me up and patted my back until I finally stopped crying.

Reluctantly, I pulled out a handkerchief I had been working on ever since I met Seiya "I haven't been much help up until now. You don't have to use it but I... I will pray for your success. And by the time you return as a saint, I will have enough power to help you, no matter how. So... when you take the handkerchief with you and look at it... know that I am here, waiting for your return."

"You did it for me?" Seiya accepted the handkerchief and tied it around his wrist "I will honour your gift!" Looking confident, Seiya took one of my hands in his and requested "But while I am not here, I hope that you can protect my big sister for me. Can you do that?"

I nodded my head with confidence "I will protect her, so you can concentrate on what you need to do."

He held out his little finger and I intertwined it with my own "This is a promise!"

"Yes!"

It was that promise that encouraged me to work hard, not only as the heir of the Grand Foundation but also as the reincarnation of Athena. Like I promised, I protected Seika and made sure that she and Seiya had a home to return to. Before my grandfather died, he finally told me of his meeting with Aiolos in Greece and why he was so determined in raising his various sons as saints. The grief I felt after the revelation was so big, I didn't dare show my face to Seika who was wondering about my well-being after my grandfather's death.
