Phantom X Reader ~A Love For Erik~

The Plan

Phantom's P.O.V

(Y/N)....

I had lost my trust towards that woman. Yet there was this feeling inside of me that made me love her. I wanted to believe that it wasn't her who told Ryan where my lair had been located. Just thinking of that bastards name makes me angrier..

I walked into (Y/N)'s "room" and looked at her dead in the eye

"There is something you must know" I spoke trying not to shout

She just stared at me, scared but curious

"You are to not leave this lair until your lover Ryan has been told that you are safe"

"Who will tell him?" She spoke softly

"I will"

"But-" I cut her off

"I will tell him. I will write a letter as if I am you and persuade your lover that you are safe." I nodded

"For the last time! He is not my lover!" She narrowed her eyes at me

"I will bring you back up to your family after the letter has been sent. You will be sent back a week later. That way he doesn't find out that something is suspicious."

I didn't want to bring her back with her family. I wanted her to stay. I wanted her to stay with me! But I knew that if I kept her here with me, she would soon grow curious and want to see the hideous deformed face of mine that was covered by a mask. I couldn't let that happen. I wouldn't want to hear the scream of fear and the look of her face when she saw what truly  hid under this mask..

"I see..." (Y/N) looked down then back at me

"Could you please let me in here alone for a few minutes?" She looked at my eyes

"Of course." I understood how she felt about my decision and plan. I could tell she needed a few minutes to herself.

I nodded at (Y/N) and left the room, closing the door on my way out

I walked to my desk where I had a red rose with black ribbon around it surrounded by music sheets and papers. This was meant for (Y/N). I wanted to give her the rose now but after what happened yesterday, I could tell she was still mad.

I sighed, studying the red rose

"No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears..."

"Shamed into solitude..
...Shunned by the multitude"

"I learned to listen
In my dark, my heart heard music.."

"I longed to teach the world" I continued singing with passion, letting my emotions drown in the music

"Rise up and reach the world," I stood up holding the rose close

"No one would listen.."

"I alone could hear the music"

"Then at last, a voice in the gloom...
Seemed to cry, I hear you"

"I hear your fears,
Your torment and your tears!"
I closed my eyes and sighed

"She saw my loneliness..."
".....Shared in my emptiness"

"No one would listen"

"No one but her"

"Heard as the outcast hears"

"No one would listen..."
".....No one but her"

"Heard as the outcast hears..."

I looked down at the rose, feeling tears form in my eyes.
I knew I would never live a happy life. I was considered "The devil's child". If I showed (Y/N) my true identity, she would never love me. I had to isolate myself from my feelings towards (Y/N).
I could not let myself get attached to her, for when she leaves, I won't be heart broken.

Your P.O.V

As the phantom left the room, I started thinking. Why would I want to go back? I loved it here in the lair.. But the Phantom requested that I return back to my family. I honestly did not want to return. I didn't want to get married. Especially with Ryan. He was handsome but I couldn't find a connection with him. And if Ryan "loved" me, he wouldn't agree with my Mother and Father to force me into marrying him. Obviously he was desperate for marriage to show me off.

But with Phantom...

With Phantom I feel different around him. Sure just a day ago he was hurting me but I know he didn't mean that...
If I could, I would kiss the phantom endlessly. Embrace him, and treat him kindly. Deep down inside of his feelings, I knew he was broken. As if he could never date to love again.
What he doesn't know is that I may have feelings for him.

I got up from the bed and left the room without making a noise.

I was going to apologize for saying such cruel words. I'm sure he would apologize as well.

But instead of apologizing, I hear him singing

His singing.... It was always filled with darkness

But the way he sang this time...
It was rather soothing. It showed how he truly felt. Pain, sadness, caring

I'm assuming the song was about me...

My heart started to beat fast in excitement

Does the Phantom...... L-Love me too?

I was confused.

I looked down and sighed, whispering

"Oh phantom.. If only you knew how much I cared for you"

I began approaching him slowly..
