Forbidden love (Honkai Star Rail Blade x Reader)

Plans

« Owl... » He turned angrily to look at me, Kafka was rolling her eyes in annoyance.

«I told them that I had to go out with you... » He frowned, approaching me.

« Owl. It's a professional meeting, you have no right to interrupt. I'm stating this as your superior. » Kafka scowled, getting up slowly.

The atmosphere around was electric. If he kept this demeanor he would absolutely reveal everything. What was I supposed to do ?

« Yeah. But it's been a while since we've gone out. I REALLY needed to be with you. » He calmed down and smiled. His sudden change made me almost drop my jaw. He really was a good actor.

« Do you wish to go, Y/N ? » Kafka looked at me, slightly raising her eyebrow. Fuck, I have no damn choice. Blade still wasn't here, lucky for both of us.

« Yes, I don't want to make him wait more. »

« Of course, we'll postpone this, then. » She dismissed me with a little movement of her head. Now I was sure that I messed up, and that Owl would probably kill me, or them.

As I walked out, the cold wind of the night made me shiver. I was wearing my usual working attire, which thankfully saved me slightly from the situation. What if I changed in something more relaxed ?

I came back to reality when I felt Owl's coat on my shoulders. It was way too big for me but the warmth was not bad.

« Thanks. » He was looking straight ahead, not even glancing at me. He guided me near a taxi, putting his hand behind my back. Huh ? Why weren't we going home ?

« I'm taking you out. » He simply said, as he sat next to me in the taxi. He gave an address and the chauffeur nodded, simply starting the car. I looked at the landscape blurring from the tainted window. Man, where could he be leading me to ? His secret HQ ? A room where he would torture me to death ?

« Were here, honey. » He patted my shoulder and I blinked a few times. I should stop zooming out like this.

« Oh, uh, alright. » As I came out of the car, my jaw dropped when I saw one of the most fancy restaurant in the city. Did he really...?

« Don't stand there like that, you look flabbergasted. Is this place so special ? » He smiled smugly. Excuse me ?

« This place is literally so expensive ?! A dinner here is more than my paycheck ! » I approached him and glared at him.

« Do you see how I'm dressed ?? » He chuckled and looked at me from head to toe.

« Mhm, I do. Your dress is very fancy, darling. » I looked at myself, realizing that I wasn't in my working attire anymore. What ? How ? Instead I had a beautiful black dress, and some jewelry.

« Shh, It's only one of my many talents. » He caressed my hair and pushed me forward gently towards the luxurious building. This was impressive yet...scary as hell. He must be scheming something.

(Blade, Kafka and Silver Wolf POV)

« He totally messed up his own plan. » Silver Wolf said, looking at Kafka.

« Well, unless he's planning to pretend. Because he also can let us in the secret, to attack better. » Kafka seemed perplexed.

Blade tapped his fingers on the table. They looked at each other, sipping on their drinks. The atmosphere was still tense from what just happened and they needed to analyse the issue.

« I can't believe I missed that fucker. » Blade groaned, clenching his teeth.

« Blade, It's not all about fighting. This man may be stronger than we had anticipated. Let's think about this better. » Silver Wolf approved Kafka's words and nodded.

« I must have missed something. I should hack some more into him. I'm pretty sure he uses a fake identity, even to Y/ N. » Blade frowns, clearly pissed that his anger couldn't be taken out right away.

« Listen, Blade. We know how much you want to deal with him. We'll leave you to that when the time comes. But we have to weaken him. »

« Yup, he's way too confident. He needs to doubt. » Silver Wolf continued. The music in the bar was booming and the chatters were getting too noisy.

The trio got up and left, after concluding on some arrangements.

(Y/N POV)

Owl looked at me, too much. We ordered, he smiled and crossed his arms over his chest.

« Stop with the worried expression, baby. » He scowled, looking at my face intensely. I knew he was planning something. If it wasn't tonight, it would happen anyways.

« I'm just taking you out...in a restaurant, to rebuild our relationship. Everything is fine. » He took his glass of whine and drank some.

« No...It's the whole atmosphere of the place, I'm not used to such luxury... » I chuckled awkwardly, trying to hide my constant worry.

Our food arrives not so long after, and we start to eat, silently. After a while, Owl asks me about my life after him, what I did. He even made a few jokes on the fact that I managed to escape from him. God, how psychopathic was he ?

« That was quite great, wasn't it ? » Owl chuckled as we left the restaurant. We both drank a bit, and our old selves came back. We joked, laughed and smiled at each other.

« I feel like...I missed you. » I blurted out. Great, what was I even saying ? Me ? Missing my first live ever ? That must be a joke, yeah ? I can't fall again.

« I love you, sincerely. » Owl stopped in his track. He turned to look at me, a small and genuine smile tugging at the side of his mouth. I don't know if it was because I was drunk, but I found him absolutely beautiful, under the neon lights.

« I... » Before I could say a stupid thing, Owl grabbed my face gently and kissed me. I felt the warmth envelop my body, everything around me disappeared for a moment. What was I even doing ? I hate this man. I hate him. I hope I do...Or do I hate him because I can't bring myself to truly hate him after all he's done to me ?

I felt lost, yet, like I was somewhere I belonged to. The alcohol must have twisted my mind. I'm a lightweight, after all.
