Unloveable (TWST x male reader) (DISCONTINUED/REWRITTEN)

Chapter 6: A Helpful(?) Friend

The man remembered what the boy was muttering, he walked down to where the waterway's entrance was. He looked around, not seeing the odd boy. He sighed, about to just leave tell the café worker he couldn't find him, he heard rustling.

"Oh shit... where's my phone?" A mutter asked itself, a sigh was heard. "Ah well I hope she saved it, I'll get Leona first then my phone." He rounded the corner, seeing the boy folding up his map.

"I have your phone." He said, the boy jumped. "AH!" He held his hand over his chest, "My god... you do?" The man nodded, walking over to the boy holding out his phone.

"Here you go." The boy ran over grabbing his phone and tripping into a bow, "I'm so so so sorry!!" The man looked away, pulling out his handkerchief and covering his mouth. "It's... fine." He glared down at the bowing man, the boy looked up. "I'm sorry..." he looked away, standing up straight. 

"I said it's fine." The boy shoved his hand out, "My name's y/n. Is there anything I can do to repay you?"

The man backed up, still holding his handkerchief to his mouth. "No."

"You sure?"

"...yes." The man wished to leave now, this boy: y/n was trying to be respectful, most likely knowing the man was a tad older than him and wished to show him his gratitude. But the man did not care and truly wished the boy would just shut up.

The boy seemed to pick up on his annoyance, and looked down; seeming guilty. "I'm sorry... I'm probably annoying you..."

"Yes. You are." The man glared, y/n sunk into himself, "I'll let you go then..." the man put away his handkerchief bowing. "Thank you."

Y/n sighed, "Jeez..." he went to put his phone into his pocket but felt something cloth like on the back. "Hm?" He flipped his phone looking at the handkerchief now on the back of his phone, "Hey wait!" He ran out to the entrance of the waterways, looking around for the grey haired man.

"Huh..?" He looked around, "Guess he left..." he muttered going back into the waterways.

"Yes... I suppose he did..." the same grey haired man whispered, sitting on the rail above the said passage. Playing with his handkerchief, letting slip in between his fingers. "I suppose he did..."

"But why take l/n-chan?" Jade asked his pacing brother. "I don't know!" Floyd had been panicking ever since the news of y/n's disappearance had spread. Ruggie, whom sat staring at the floor to their right, groaned. "They didn't take him. According to Jack he flew off without knowing where to go. He could be anywhere."

"So Felmier and Hunt left after l/n correct?" Trey asked, pushing up his glasses. "Yeah... 7 where could he be!?" Ruggie groaned rubbing his eyes, he hadn't slept for a while; not since y/n went missing and that was a day ago.

"As l/n said before he left all magic leave a trace... now if l/n does know how to trace magic the logical solution would be to follow the strongest trace... so he either followed the correct trace, orrrr the incorrect one." Kalim concluded, "So I feel like Malleus-san would be the strongest trace around here other than the robots..." he continued, glancing at the said fae.

"He didn't come and see me... I wonder if he couldn't sense me because I was in Diasomnia..." the fae wondered aloud, "Wait! I might know where he might've ended up!" Lilia exclaimed hitting his hand with his fist. Everyone jumped to look at him, "The Bell of Solace!!"

His footsteps echoed through the walls of the waterways. He shone the light from the torch he summoned against the walls with his left hand leaving his right to touch the mossy walls, pressing against random parts. 

He reached the end and passed over a bridge to the other side and repeated the same actions.

Once the reached the entrance again he walked up the stairs leading to the main roads the walked over the bridge and went down to the other side. Doing the same on the other side. 

He sighed having have explored the entire waterways that went through the whole Fleur City. The sun was now raising. He heard someone clear their throat, "Still nothing?" The voice asked, y/n turned "No sir..." it was the same grey haired man as before.

"Oh you left your handkerchief." He said holding out the handkerchief. "It's yours. I have a lot of them." Even though y/n didn't really want it, it had been a while since he had received a gift. So he wasn't going to pass this up. He held the handkerchief to his chest; bowing. "T— thank you..."

The man rolled his eyes, holding his own handkerchief over his mouth once more. "What are you looking for?" Y/n looked up in surprise, he explained his situation, the man hummed putting his handkerchief back into his pocket. "Hm... The ferrymen could be related to STYX..."

"To... what?" Y/n cocked his head, the man motioned for the boy to follow him. He unlocked the doors of a school allowing them in before locking it once more. He lead them to large doors, just as big as the front doors were but exceptionally smaller than the many doors they had past on their way there.

"The STYX... is an organization that is not associated with any particular government or country, and focuses on investigating blots and Overblots in general. In response to this, they have authority on capturing certain overblotted individuals for their investigations, with some meeting a grim fate. They are led by the Shroud family, a branch of the Jupiter family, and their facility, the S.T.Y.X. Laboratory, is located in the Island of Woe." The man read from an old looking book.

"W— what? Why would they take Leona then?" The man cocked an eyebrow. "Has this... "Leona" overblotted in the past?" Y/n nodded, "Yeah... yeah he did."

The man snapped the book closed, "Than there's your answer." He went to leave being stopped with: "Wait. Where's the Island of Woe located?"

The man rolled his eyes before turning back, "No one knows. Other than the people whom work there." The man went to leave once again, "Can you help me?"
