Hurts To Love You (Cronus Ampora X Reader)

Chapter THE TRUTH

Chapter THE TRUTH

(Reader's POV)

It's a week later and you feel like your whole life is being invaded by the Italian cheese-loving stranger who claims to not be the killer. You don't even know what to believe, but he doesn't really talk much, definitely secretive, but once he knows you're keeping a secret he's all ears and trying to pry it out of you. To be honest he's a little creepy in your opinion, but also... Well, he loves cheese and cows. How do you describe someone like that? Cheesy? No, that sounds stupid. He also has you make dinners without beef, so no hamburgers, beef stew etc. God does this guy really bring down a hammer on the options of  food you can make.

You just sit on the couch on your laptop with Cronus on your left and Nixen, the cow-loving cheese-eater, on your right. Oh yes, he was also eating some cheese. Despite him looking alike with the sketching of the killer on the news, you seriously have begun to doubt he is the actual killer. You weren't okay with how he forced you to let him stay but he wasn't a complete jerk. At least, not to you.

He tends to cuss a bit and doesn't get along with Cronus that well. And when you said 'a bit' you mean A LOT. He also mentioned his twin brother being the real killer even though the police were searching for him instead. You remember asking him about his brother.

"U-uh, so you have a brother?" You squeaked from behind him as he was standing and leaning forward on a counter and doing nothing. He had turned his head around halfway to look at you, his solid dark eyes revealing no emotion within their depths. It sent chills up your spine whenever you saw that glare. "I w-was just asking because, w-well, you said he was the killer and I just want to hear how this all came to..." He continued staring at you and you grew more nervous, subconsciously cracking your fingers one by one. "A-ah, you know what, never mind. I-i'll just...g-go."

You had turned to leave when you heard a heavy sigh from behind you, causing you to freeze up as you turned back around slowly to face him, your heart beginning to pound out of anxiousness. You gulped as you saw he had turned around, his eyes closed before letting out another, but softer, sigh. "I'll-a tell you-a this. It wasn't fucking easy as a small child. Me and my-a bastard brother were young when our mama left our papa. Papa then got-a drunk all the time and fucking verbally abused me and my-a brother. It was then that we formed a pact and renamed ourselves Nixen and-a Nexin." Nixen paused, opening one eye that fixated on my and seeing my curious features. He then closed his eye again and continued the story. "We-a grew up in fucking Italy but when we-a turned sixteen we ran away to here. We-a somehow made it and got in a lot of mischief. But then my-a brother broke into and-a entered a fucking house and got fucking caught, the bastard. I-a managed to bail him out and after that we went our-a separate ways. Years later I-a happened to cross paths with-a him and he was fucking bloody. I-a found out what he-a fucking did only for-a him to get away with the stolen-a goods. The bastard."

He opened his eyes and looked straight at you without saying another word. You figured you should probably say something, but when you opened your mouth he turned around and you got the hint and walked away without saying another anything at all.

You're just messing around on the web, not really knowing what to do since you were bored. Wait, you just remembered an anime Katy wanted you to watch! It was called... Hm...

Suddenly there's a few rapid knocks on your door, making you jump a bit while Nixen jumps up off  the couch, pulling out his knife and moving into a crouching position, ready to strike. Cronus just sat there watching you and Nixen as you both moved toward the door. You peek into the peep hole and see a familiar face, smiling and turning to Nixen. Your smile instantly dissolved, "I-It's Draike. He probably wants to just talk or something...?" You told Nixen, though it came out more as a question than a statement. He only squinted at you before straightening himself and walking away, tucking away his knife. "Hurry it up then." He grumbled, sitting as far away he could from Cronus on the couch and staring at you. Those eyes...
