Second Chances - Kinich x reader

1

You are running through a forest, breathing heavily, dead on your legs. You'll look around you to find yourself surrounded by fatui members, and a familiar face. Your heart feels like it stops when you realize who it is.

Kinich.

Everyone is coming your way, clawing at you, trying to grab you, while he just stands there emotionless, not bothering to help at all.

Then, someone pulls out a knife, aiming it at you, throwing it and-

You wake up, breathing hard, your heart pounding.

You look around wildly, and relax when you realize it was just an imagination of a flashback. How you wish it would had gone, instead of surviving.

You slowly climb out of bed, the floor creaking under your weight, painfully giving you away.

You hear a door creaking open, and the soft padding of feet as they make their way to your room.

You dive into bed, pulling the covers over yourself.

The door to your room opens quietly and you know your dad is looking at you.

You stay still for so long, you start wondering if you would be frozen in that position forever.

Finally, the door closes, and you hear his footsteps go slowly and painfully to his room.

When the coast is clear, you grab your blanket and throw it onto the ground. It was a method you had developed when you were 9. When Kinich and you were still friends.

You shudder at the thought of it. Why were you ever friends with that jerk? When you needed him most, he had abandoned you.

You shake your head, trying not to worry about that then. Taking a deep breath, you put your foot on the blanket. You then made your way to the door.

When you opened it, you sent a silent thank you to the archons. You had one of the only silent doors in the house, and that came in use when you were sneaking out like this.

You made your way out of the house.

When you stepped outside, you took a deep breath of the midnight air. It was cool and moist outside, the perfect weather for a walk.

"Aiki! Come here girl!" You call out into the darkness. Your yumkasaur answered immediately, bounding over to you. You had another painful flashback.

                     _-_start of flashback_-_

You were walking along the cliff with Aiki. It was bright and early, and nearly no one was out. Except one person. The traiter.

"What are you doing, Kinich?" You snap angrily, meeting his emotionless stare.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry." He had said, not batting an eye.

You were taken back, but you quickly recovered.

"Yeah, right. What are you really here for you nasty, lying, disgusting, backstabbing, slimy little rat? Or do I need to threaten you with this knife to make you talk, rodent? I'll give you 5 seconds to choose your choice." You snap at him, pulling out a jagged knife you now kept with you.

Kinich looked the tiniest surprised before returning to the same expression he normally wore. The kind that said " I'm a cold person that you should stay away from unless you want a deal."

"Believe it or not, I really am sorry."

Was that... A bit of despair In his tone?

You shake your head, ignoring it. You pet Aiki, telling her to stay there. Your yumkasaur obeys, retreating into the shadows.
