Aris Jones X Reader One Shots

More Than a Fling (Part 6)

She was physically ill. She was so afraid of her Aris having been killed that she was throwing up.

Maybe because of that. Hopefully, it was only because of that. If it wasn't, she was screwed. Completely and utterly screwed.

She couldn't sleep. No matter how badly she tried, her mind was racing. Her heart was beating a million times faster than it should. It was aching as her head forced the memories to her.

"I will too. I'll never leave you. I'll never let you go. I'll protect you from everything I can no matter what,"He said, his breathing just barely returning to normal.

"I'll do the same. I swear it, and I swear that I'll love you forever,"She promised, her hand still in his.

"I'll always only want you. No matter what happens, it will always be you,"He whispered.

"Even if you found someone a million times better?"

"How could I when you're as close to perfect as someone can be? Flaws and all, you're perfect to me,"He said firmly.

"Even when I come back bloody and bruised?"

"It's easy to love someone when times are good. It always is. The fact that we can love when our time has been nothing but bad mean something,"He pointed out.

"I'll love you through heaven or hell,"She breathed out, putting her arms back around his shoulders.

"I'll love you forever,"He whispered against her lips, his forehead pressed against hers as he took in every detail of her face. The soft look in her eyes as she gazed at him. Her hair pushed behind her shoulders. Her cheeks a light pink as a blush spread across them.

Pushing her lips back against his, she kissed him deeper than before. Getting lost in her touch, he carefully pushed her under him, his body almost fully pressed against hers.

"I know it's not ideal but,"She started, her breath shaky.

"Anywhere with you is ideal,"He told her, his hands finding their way to the bottom of her shirt.

"Even here?"

"Especially here,"He breathed out, his brain erasing the concept of consequences as he stared into her eyes. As if they weren't just barely recovering from their last time being called, as if their bruises weren't just beginning to heal, as if there wasn't already a thousand pains covering them, she nodded her head, telling him that this was enough. That the middle of hell, a place of pain, a place of full of evil, was just fine as long as it had him. There was nothing negative that could come from this. Just like him, she was too caught up in the new type of love to remember another outcome of this.

Kissing deeper, the two let themselves become one, no matter what it could mean. This was right. This was needed. They were sure of it.

Shutting her eyes, Y/N faced the wall as it ran through her head. She definitely remembers what the consequences of that could be now. No matter how much she tried to deny it, she knew that despite the way being apart was killing her, there could be another reason for the sickness that seemed to never want to leave.

Back at the Right Arm wing, Aris was leaning against the wall, his head in his hands as he silently cried. He knew Beth said to trust her, and he does to some extent, but he was scared. He was terrified that these people were bad, that they weren't on the same side.

"I'll find you either way. I promise,"He whispered, wiping his eyes as that same memory flashed through his head. Even miles apart, they were still so in sync. They didn't even have to know it for it to be true.

He had made sure to be slow, to be gentle. They made sure not to leave marks where someone could see. If someone found out, they knew they would be separated. They wouldn't be able to do anything they had been. Steal for the other, talk about everything that mattered and everything that didn't, remember what it means to smile, touch each other in ways they weren't allowed to.
