Moonlit Requiem (Moon Knight X Reader) SMUT

Chapter 18

Y/N & MARC & STEVEN'S POV

⚠️WARNING: cursing & blood

"So...I plan on making some dinner, if you'd like I can make you a plate..." "I'm not really hungry Steven." I stood by the window that over looked the street below. It was already late, the sun had already set but yet the sky was still filled with color. The moon shining brightly, even though it was a crescent. Time had already been wasted today, I got my tour of the city, I memorized every building I had walked past, each smell that drifted past me, and if I get lost I'll just find my way to the museum...somehow. Harrows men are still out there, they don't stop and sit around looking for us, they're waiting for us to go to them. And that's exactly what I'm going to give them. "I'm going out." I transformed and opened the windows, I put one foot out before turning back to look at Steven. "I'll be back." That was all I said before going on top of the roof. "WAIT!" "Steven, let him go." "But what if he gets lost!" "Then, we'll look in the morning, problem solved. Let's just relax alright? It's been a long day." I sighed as I glanced towards the open windows. I slowly walked over and closed them gently, before going back to cooking myself dinner. I ran on top of each roof top, making sure I never tripped, never failed to miscalculate my jumps. Everything I did was perfect. I didn't quite know where I was going or what I was even doing, but for the first time in god knows how long, I've smelt some decent air for once, seen the sky, the moon, all of it. Though the sky in the underworld is beautiful, it was never truly the same as up here. I felt...free for once. I didn't feel like I was trapped in a loop, didn't have to go through the same halls I do everyday. There wasn't a barrier I couldn't go through, no obstacle I couldn't handle. I jumped one last time before slowing down, my breath was slightly heavy, I could hear my heart pounding. But I was only here for a mission, I thought. Only here because I needed to be here, not because I was able to run around and get a decent work out in. No, no this was never the plan. I don't want to leave, I don't want to be up here, I don't want to be living with these fucking idiots...an idiot who...helped me...no, no I don't want that. I don't want to be part of this, never did, I was only doing this for Osiris. I put my hand over the middle of my chest, near my neck, as I could feel the necklace hanging there. I sighed before I looked up and saw Tower Bridge. It was beautiful at night, with the lights of cars driving on it. The lights hanging on the bridge shining...But I'm not here for that...I'm not here to take in the view, not here to make friends, not here for anything other than killing the son of a bitch who's trying to end the world. The memories from earlier came flooding in, knowing how weak I was in that time, knowing I could t do anything...and Marc helping me was something I never thought would happen. I've questioned it ever since he did, why bother trying to save someone you hate? Why bother trying to help me when all I've done is been nothing but a dick towards you? I can't think about this right now, I need to get my head in the game. I slightly shook my head to try and snap myself out of my thoughts and get back on track."Khonshu." I heard the wosh behind me, knowing he appeared. "Do you remember where they took Spector when Harrow was around?" "It wasn't far from here actually, just a few miles south east. When you get close enough, I'll tell you where to go." I gave a firm nod before I backed up the very edge of the roof. There was only one way to get to the other side of the road from up here and I didn't bother taking the stairs back down. I ran as fast as I could before I leapt to the roof in front of me and continued to head in that direction.

"You think we should go look for him?" "I don't really see a point in that, he's old enough to take care of himself Steven, he's a big boy remember." I rolled my eyes slightly at the last part. "But it's already been half an hour since he's left, I'm just worried that he might get lost or something." "Steven, he is LITERALLY able to slice the heads off jackals, and kill a man without any weapons...I think he'll be perfectly fine on his own." I sad down in the couch and ate my stake as I watched the tv. I saw in the corner of my eye Reapers bag left zipped up on a small chair I had. Just from one look at it, I already had an idea that made me grin. "Marc, I know what you're thinking, DON'T do it mate." "What's the harm of just getting a peak. I'm sure he knows something about where these guys could be hiding, let alone if he brought something that can make us more of a target than we need to be." I reached my hand for the bag and let out a shaky breath. "What do you think you're doing Marc?" I heard Khonshu from behind me. "What do you thinking I'm doing? I just wanted to know if he brought anything from wherever the hell he came from." "You truly think he's dumb enough to do something like that?He's not you Marc." I heard him slightly chuckle to himself. I gave him an annoyed look before getting up. "Why don't you trust Santiago anyways?" "I just don't, he gives off a sketchy vibe, I just don't like it." "Then why bother saving him." I didn't expect him to tell me that, I was prepared for whatever he may have said except for this one sentence. "I don't know, maybe because I'm not that much of an asshole." "Or maybe because you saw yourself." "No. No, I did not. I'm not a monster like him." "But that's how you see yourself no?" Those words struck me, it felt as though I was paralyzed from the neck down. I didn't bother to even look him in his hallowed out skull. Even if I wanted to I felt so ashamed to do so. I turned around and just went back into the kitchen."...you don't know what you're talking about alright, just leave it. I saved him because we need him. If we're going to fight off some guy who might have some power of an Egyptian god who wants to enslave this world, we're going to need someone who can fight him off." As I turned back around, he was gone. That asshole. I rolled my eyes from the annoyance of having to deal with all of this. I shouldn't be having to be putting up with this bullshit, I should be living a fucking normal life, going to places that don't involve me killing someone. I just want to have a life with a....a wife....I had that didn't I...I had a wife, but I just fucked everything up. Hell that's the only thing I know how to do nowadays....but it's better this way isn't it? I just live alone now, alone with my thoughts, with Steven, with Khonshu, keep doing what I know best...
