(Y/N): Right Back At Ya! A Meta Knight x Reader Book

Chapter 11:

~Hard feelings part two~

(Y/N) had just gotten back from recording her next show. She trudged to the bathroom and tried her best to remove all of the theater makeup in one go. That didn't happen.

"Fuck." After an agonizing 15 minutes, she finally managed to finish her skincare routine and get changed, sighing in relief when she finally removed her bra and got into her comfy clothes. After finishing up in the bathroom, she made her way to bed, but a certain silhouette on her balcony caught her off guard.

"Meta?" She asked wearily as she walked onto the balcony. He turned to her and nodded once.

Oh shit, is he mad?

"You're upset, querida, are you not?" His mask was off, but the bottom half of his face was covered by his cloak. His eyes were full of worry and a bit of frustration.

The woman was taken aback by his question. "I thought you were mad at me. I yelled at you in front of so many people. Aren't you embarrassed, love?"

"No." His voice was firm in response, and he let his cape flow behind him. "Something is going on with you, and I want to know what it is."

She didn't speak, and he sighed.

"I just want to help, mi amor." He walked closer to her, eyes softening. "It breaks my heart to see you so unhappy."

"I guess I'm a little homesick. The worst part is that I'm dead on my home planet, so I can't go back ever. I'll never get to see my family again..." Tears flowed freely down her cheeks as she sobbed. Her knight patted her back to calm her down.

"I understand, mi princesa. You had to endure something so traumatic that it made you bitter and upset." He lifted her head and made her look at him. "If I could, I would allow you to say goodbye to your family properly, but I can't. Instead, let me help you through this."

Her sobs reduced to sniffles as he spoke to her, his voice soft and warm. She wiped her eyes and looked into his. "I love you so much. Thank you."

He smiled warmly and kissed both of her cheeks.

"De nada, mi amor."

~Lunch at Kawasaki's~

Tiff invited (Y/N) to join her family for lunch, so she quickly got ready to go. She decided on a pair of white jeans and a top from her clothing line. It was a light pink blouse, form-fitted to her curves with off shoulder, puffy sleeves. She paired the outfit with some white sandals and went to go meet Tiff's family at the main entrance. The journey there was interrupted by Meta Knight flying to greet her.

"You look lovely today, mi querida. What's the occasion?"

(Y/N) giggled a little before answering. "I'm going out to eat with Tiff and her family. She wanted to invite me after everything that just happened."

He sighed softly. "Very well, but please be aware that Kawasaki's food leaves so much to be desired."

"I've heard the rumors," she began, "but I still want to give it a chance."

"Trust me, (Y/N), they are more than just rumors." He held her face in his hands as he spoke to her.

"I think I can handle myself, love. Besides, Kirby's going with, so I can just feed him my food if it's that bad, okay?" She gave his mask a gentle kiss right above his visor before walking away. He watched her leave, all the while blushing.

(Y/N) finally caught up with the cabinet minister and his family after about two minutes of walking. Tiff was the first to speak.

"Where were you, (Y/N)? We were waiting for you." She didn't sound bothered at all when she spoke, but it was clear that something was bugging her.
