The Boot Shiner (Destiny x Male Reader)

Chapter 23: Flipping a Coin

Mox: Serenity. It's time...

Chase: Yeah, maybe after cooking us food and trying to avoid the main task at hand you should tell us what you think.

Y/N: Do you... w-want this?

Seri: Want what? I wish we could've stayed there longer b-but... Y/N was feeling-

Chase: SERI!!!

Seri and Chase both scold one another as food fries. Mox steps in, fixing up the food while Seri has to walk out and think for a moment. She just walks out of the door, but I didn't hear anymore thumps of her boots. Mox serves us food in four plates, then grabs a seat next to me. It looks like a chicken dish of some kind, like pan-fried chimichangas or something.

Beautiful... heavenly... just like all of them. I don't care anymore. I like all of them, and I'm tired of pretending like I don't. I need them...

Chase: Do we... wanna eat now? I don't know if I can wait for Serenity to think. She's got processing power... b-but she's still a titan! Hehe... *awkward silence* ...No? Nobody, just me? Wow... sorry...

Mox: What do you want?

Chase: Y/N.

Mox: We all do. Elaborate.

Chase: Y/N, do you... want to leave the room at all?

Y/N: I don't have enough time left to leave the room and wait for you to bicker... I am staying and you guys can make a decision.

Chase: See, this is my main point. Life is short, even for people like us that are immortal! Y/N doesn't have that gift, so let us make up for it with whatever time he fucking has left. There's no reasoning, no elevation-

Doink: Elaboration-

Chase: Elaboration... needed... at all.

Mox: He's the only mortal who actually made me feel like I was doing something for a cause... ever. He thanked me. He was the first who ever did.

Chase: Ever?!

Mox nods her head, then looks away, unable to look at me. I don't blame her, and I wonder just what kind of shit goes on in that quiet head. I'm never used to her speaking more than four or five words at a time, for each and every time she does it. This Mox is... broken... Need new Mox...

Mox: He makes me feel more valued, not for being a guardian... but as a living being.

Chase: Even though he can't do much. I've probably had... the most amount of fun and good times with him. Drinking with Seri till I passed out was alright, but Y/N wheelchair trip? Absolute. Cinema.

Mox: He understands me...

Chase: He's fun... He also understands us!

Y/N: You guys kill gods for a laugh and a new outfit. You guys have more power than the Traveler could ever give you with the Prismatic stuff you guys talk about... It's time to settle down...

Chase: He's so real for that.

Mox: Not just a laugh.

Y/N: Well... that's how we see it now. While we appreciate what you've done to the Witness... a-and... everything else, you don't need to any more. Just relax... You guys were some of the first to raid, did you not?

Mox: Yes... and while we didn't believe in harvesting the operation... We were some of the first who dealt the killing blow for the rest of the guardians to invade. Three guardians... gave their lives during the last phase of our fight. Crushed by his hand, blasted by his essence, melted... on the inside... from the darkness burning them alive...
