You're safe now. (Blitzø x reader 18+)

Mask Off

The next morning you woke and your fingernails found their way at the staples in your head and were starting to pick at the staples. It hurt like hell, but you tried to get them out yourself. No one else was awake. You stood in the bathroom in front of the mirror, picking at the staples. When Blitz woke up, you had only gotten one staple about halfway out, and there was a thick trickle of blood down your neck. He immediately panicked and ran over to you.

"No! Y/N stop! You can't do that yourself!"

Even getting the staple halfway out made you very dizzy and it caused a large sensation of pressure in your skull. You groaned softly, gripping onto the sink with bloody hands, your body swaying dizzily. He sat you down on the bathroom floor and hollered for Millie and Moxxie, telling one of them to call Stolas. Stolas arrived as soon as he could and you were fighting against Blitz, trying to rip the staples out of your head yourself. You desperately wanting this mask off your face and you didn't care if you hurt yourself in the process, you just wanted it off. Stolas used his magic to make you fall asleep, and slowly and carefully, they began removing the staples, going slowly so they could address the heavy bleeding as it came. It was a long and tedious process, but a few hours later, the mask fell from your face and not long after that, you began waking up. Your head was absolutely pounding, and you groaned, your hands going up to hold your head and when you opened your mouth you realized the mask was gone and your eyes widened. But then you saw all the bloody rags and blood stains on the floor. That's why you felt so dizzy. You were scared to speak. You just sat there in shock that the mask was actually off...you opened and closed your mouth repeatedly, slowly stretching out your jaw that had been forced shut by the mask for more than six months. Your jaw was so sore you let out a soft whimper of pain. Blitz cupped your cheeks and gently brushed the tears from your eyes with his thumbs. You leaned your face into his touch, closing your eyes. You'd missed him most of all....he whispered softly, his forehead resting against yours.

"I missed you so much baby..and I was so worried about you....."

You hugged him tightly, burying your face in his neck, breathing shakily. You gripped the back of his shirt, your breathing getting heavier as tears started pouring down your face. Blitz gently cupped your cheeks, and you looked at him with teary eyes, and he leaned in and kissed you very gently. It had been a year since you felt his lips on yours and you started crying harder, leaning into him and hugging his neck, kissing him back immediately. The others left the room, and congregated in the living room to let you and Blitz have some time together. He kept you close in his arms, and you quietly listened to the comforting sound of his heartbeat, relaxing into him. It would be a while before you would actually speak again. You were traumatized, and understandably so. Your thoughts then trailed to Nix, and how you didn't know if she was safe or not and that thought alone caused you to break down into fresh tears. Blitz hugged you closer to him and wrapped his tail around you, and you buried your face in his neck, gripping the back of his shirt. His claws softly trailed up and down your back, you always liked when he did that. Your body relaxed into him and the tears slowed then eventually stopped, and your tail wrapped around his and a quiet purr rose in your throat as you nuzzled your face into his neck. He smiled softly.

"There we go....i guess that's the key to calm you..... good to know..."

Your breath hiccuped softly from crying so hard, and he continued to trail his claws up and down your spine softly. Your body melted into his, and his free hand ran its fingers through your tangly hair. He then spoke softly.

"Do you want me to help you shower so we can get the blood out of your hair...?"

You nodded softly, suddenly aware of how gross your hair felt...

"Is it okay if I get in with you this time so it's easier to help wash your hair...?"

You were always so happy when he asked for your consent for the littlest thing, from showering with you, to even wanting a tiny kiss. You nodded softly, kissing his forehead gently. He slowly helped you stand up, and he turned the shower on, letting it get nice and warm. His fingers hovered over the hem of your shirt, his eyes looking into yours for permission to help undress you and you nodded silently with a soft smile. He gently took your shirt off of you, then gently turned you around to unhook your bra. You closed your eyes softly at his gentleness, and he allowed you to take your pants off which you were grateful for. You took off your bottom garments and he gently ushered you into the shower before undressing and getting in himself, and you groaned softly as the warm water hit your skin, and he gently stood behind you, rubbing your shoulders.

"You're so tense, love..."

He whispered gently, and you leaned back into him and he rested his face in your neck as he just held you for a few good moments. He then turned you around again and began wetting your hair, bloody water cascading down to the tub drain. He was extremely gentle, especially are the areas where the staples had been. You melted at the feeling of his claws massaging your scalp, your eyes fluttering shut as he slowly and gently massaged shampoo into your hair. Your tail swished softly, before wrapping around his ankle. He had to wash your hair a few times to get all the blood out, but he eventually got it out and kissed your forehead gently, and your heart melted. Your gaze said it all. You didn't speak, which was understandable, but he looked into your eyes and he could see just how much you loved him. You then got behind him and began washing his back, because he couldn't reach it too well. He groaned softly, leaning back into you for a moment regaining his composure. A slight smile graced your lips and he glanced over his shoulder at your face, and he smiled.

"There's that beautiful smile, love...Y/N, I love your smile...."

Your cheeks heated up with a soft blush and your smile grew a little as you placed a gentle kiss between his shoulder blades. His tail wrapped around you and he turned around once you were done washing his back, and he hugged you close to his chest. His skin was warm and you leaned into him like a lifeline, because let's face it, he was your lifeline. Your everything. And you were his. You looked up at him and he gazed down at you and cupped your cheek, giving you a gentle kiss smoothing his hand over your wet hair gently before getting rinsed off and turning off the water. You handed him his towel, and grabbed yours, and you both got out of the shower. you breathed a soft sigh of relief, feeling much better after a hot shower. You put some clothes on, then you dried your hair and groaned. Your hair became tangled and you tried pulling your brush through it but you just got frustrated. Blitz gently offered to brush your hair.

"Here, let me help you."

You accepted his offer, because you loved when he brushed your hair. He took your hair in his hand and started working the knots out from the bottom up so he wouldn't hurt you. You closed your eyes and wrapped your tail around his, a quiet purr rising in your throat. He smiled softly, continuing to gently brush your hair. You loved getting to spend time with him like this....
