SECOND PERSON POV

YOU GRASP THE SNIPER IN YOUR HAND, staring as it lays there inside the bag, ready to be assembled. You sighed, wondering what this was for, looking up at your boss for answers. Your eyes tell what your mouth isn't speaking, and he gives you a sigh.

"This is what you're gonna use to kill your target for this mission, (Name)." He says, explaining to you for the 5th time how to assemble the thing. Your mind ignored it, irritated, ready to get this mission started. Your hands were itching to kill, not to lay around some lazy skeleton whose interest involved smoking. Your boss pats your hair, your thoughts popping as you stare at him, clearly interested. "Look, I know you don't like moving with partners, but you have to rely on others, (Name). Most of your future missions involve that."

"I understand that, boss. But him? Really? Out of all the possibilities out there?" You zip the bag and hang it on your shoulder, holding on to it a little tighter. What was he thinking? Pairing you up with the enemy? Fell, out of all people? He could've picked someone like- Well, anyone really. Not him. He disgusts you. He's uncooperative and creepy, and his brother warned you about him! God knows what he would do to you.

"It's just for the mission, alright? We're starting to go up the charts, and we're expanding on the connections. Give him a try, kid, maybe he's not that bad."

He gives you a pat in the air, and you murmur complaints under your breath. However, seeing as he had left you alone and managed elsewhere, you ran a hand through your hair, a bit frustrated. But despite your complaints anyway, your boss wouldn't change his mind, you're stuck on a mission, and if you want to even think of completing it, you have to force yourself to work with him. So, you gulped it up, and turned away, the sniper hidden in the bag slung on your shoulder. Before you can even exit the base, Black, Fell's brother, a ridiculously tall skeleton, stares you down, blocking your way.

"HUMAN, HAVE YOU MADE YOUR DECISION?" The day he was banned from referring to humans as heathens and any other degrading names was the day the world healed a bit, his gruff and daring personality though? Not so much. He raised a bone brow at you, referring to his brother who he tells you has been, and weirdly so, obsessed with you after your official debut a month ago as the best assassin yet.

"Hey, Black~" Contrasting your serious reputation, was a cheerful, laidback lady who loved messing with her teammates. (and enemies, but they don't have to know that!) Maybe it's the reason everyone is wary of you, your unpredictability stood out from the things a good mission is supposed to run, and well, everyone either respects or fears you for it. Placing a hand on your hip, you look away briefly before huffing, pouting when you look at him. It was almost comical. "Unfortunately to both of our distaste, big guy, Fell still, and will be my partner later when we do settle down. Don't fret, I won't hurt your little toy a lot if he tries something."

"DO NOT SAY I DID NOT WARN YOU, HUMAN." And off he goes, you looking at his back with brows raised. You adjusted the bag you were carrying and rode into a van that was supposed to drop you off at the hotel where you and your supposed partner should be staying for the night.

Actually, you don't even know why you have to wake up for tomorrow to actually finish the job, it was a waste of time, but due to your boss' orders, you had to obey. Staring at the hotel you were supposed to stay for the night, you entered the establishment with a charming smile. "Hey~ Good afternoon, I'm looking for Fell? He told me he already booked a room, but please call him for me if it's beyond your privacy to hand me extra keys, yeah?"
