An escape (Young Sephiroth x reader)

Note(They are both the same age. Just a cute fluffy one shot)

Sephiroth ran from the Shinra Building with Hojo's angry voice echoing in his mind. Where was there to run to at this point? (Y/N)'s? He knew her well enough, and had visited on occasion, but it was late at night. Would (Y/N) even be awake? Sephiroth's panic quickly shifted to hesitation and uncertainty. Perhaps it would be better to just face Hojo again, rather than risk a chance encounter with somebody who shouldn't see him like this at this hour... but the thought of returning to Shinra any time soon filled him with dread. He climbs up the fire escape and to (Y/N)'s bedroom window, he takes a deep breath to calm himself down, before tapping on the glass.

With a start, (Y/N) bolts upright in her bed, her hair in disarray and her eyes still slightly fogged from sleep. "Sorry for waking you up," Sephiroth whispers softly, his voice trembling slightly. "I didn't know where else to go. Hojo.. he yelled at me.. I'm scared, I don't know what to do." His hands shake, gripping the windowsill nervously. He needs help, and there's nobody else he can turn to. "Can I come in?"

(Y/N) blinks a few times, taking a minute to register his voice. "Seph...Sephiroth? What in the world are you doing here?" she asks, as she makes her way to the window, "And at this hour.. Come inside, angel boy, before you catch a cold" she opens the window, with concern in her gaze.

"Thank you," Sephiroth says, climbing through the window and looking around for somewhere to sit, settling for the edge of the bed. "I didn't mean to disturb you, I just didn't know what else to do. I ran away from Shinra.." He fidgets with his hands nervously, not meeting (Y/N)'s gaze.

(Y/N)'s gaze moves down to his hands, noticing his fingers wringing together. "poor boy.. what did they do to you?" she sighs faintly, as a hand cups his jaw. She brings his gaze back up, as she sits beside him, "And why do I feel like I know the answer to that.."

"H-Hojo did some experiments, he said it was to make me stronger, but.. it hurt, (Y/N).. it really hurt," Sephiroth's eyes well up, but he fights back tears, refusing to let them fall "I don't think I can go back there, I don't know what I'll do if I have to face Hojo again." He pulls his knees up, hugging them tightly, trying to keep the sadness at bay. "I'm scared, I don't know how to deal with this.."

(Y/N) gives him a tight hug, pulling him close and letting him rest his head against her chest. "It's okay to cry" she whispers, feeling the dampness of his tears through her clothing. She strokes his hair, trying to ease his mind. "I'm here. You're safe." She says, her voice slightly scratchy with sleep.

Sephiroth clings to (Y/N), allowing himself to break down and cry, feeling the warmth and comfort enveloping him. It felt so good to finally let go of the pain and fear that had been bottled up inside him for so long. He sniffles, lifting his head up slightly to look at (Y/N) with red, puffy eyes "Sorry.." Sephiroth mumbles, embarrassed by his display of weakness "I don't know why I'm crying, I just can't help it. It's just all.. so overwhelming."

"It's okay," (Y/N) whispers to him, as her fingers continue to run through his hair. She feels for him, her heart breaking at his plight. "I know it is.." Her gaze softens, giving him a quick, comforting kiss on his head.

"Thank you, (Y/N)," Sephiroth says gratefully, leaning into (Y/N)'s touch, feeling a sense of security and calm wash over him. He takes in a deep breath and lets it out slowly, trying to gather his thoughts. "I appreciate you being here for me. I don't know what I'd do without you." He hesitates for a moment, then decides to open up to her further "Can we.. can we talk about something else now? I don't think I can handle talking about Shinra anymore."

(Y/N)'s expression softens further still as she feels him relaxing, and her grip on him eases up a little. "Of course, angel boy," she sighs softly. "Do you want some food? Maybe a shower?"
