Love is Hard Clay X Reader

Finding Out

Aaron's P.O.V.~

I woke up in the middle of the night to some armor clanking. Deciding to look around, I grab my laser-bow and head out into the hallway. I thought I'd see Clay somewhere, but as I passed his room, I heard him snoring.

Just to be sure, I look into everyone's room seeing all but one in their bed: my sister.

Panicking, I rush around, trying to figure out where she'd be. Kitchen, no. Downtime room, nope. Armory, why would she even be there? The training room, no- wait?

In the training room, I saw a ball in the corns with clothes scattered around it. It was (Y/N). I quickly kneel beside her, seeing a small amount of blood around her part and the ground. Along with a note. Picking it up, it read:

'You tell anyone what happened, I'll keep this up until you have my child.
C.M.'

C.M.? Who could-Clay! He made me a promise. Damn him! I was thinking about going into his room to wake him, but my sister was hurt. I carefully take the duck tape off of her mouth, crumpling it before lifting her in my arms to the bathroom. She starts waking up when I start the water.

"Hey, what happened? You were on the floor of the training room."

She seemed freaked out just by looking at me. I knew what happened, but I needed all the details. She looked down at her legs, seeing the blood, crying.

I reach to touch her shoulder, making her flinch.

"Damn it," I murmur under my breath. I turn the water off, helping her into the tub. "Please, (Y/N). Just tell me. I won't tell anyone else, I promise. I just need to know who did this to you."

She looked at me with such fear, I wanted to cry myself. "I-I don't know. It was Clay's armor, but it wasn't him, Aaron. It wasn't him!" She cried harder, huddling to the far wall of the tub. I look down at the note I kept in my hand, having a feeling I knew who it was. I just needed evidence.

Time-Skip~

As everyone was eating breakfast at the table, I notice how edgy (Y/N) was. She kept glancing between Clay, Lance, and me. She wasn't crying, but I notice how worried Clay looks about her.

"I'll be right back. I have to, um, check on the foxes," I excuse, walking back to the hallway that our rooms are.

First, I check Clay's room. What would I be looking for? Duck tape, maybe. Misplaced armor, yes. I check every inch of the room, not finding anything. Then, I head for Lance's room. As I open the door, I already find duck tape on his bedside table. In the closet, there was Clay's armor.

I can't just blame Lance, though. Clay could have planted the evidence on him. I need to watch their reactions. I make my way back to the table. Lance looks at me strangely.

"So, how did everyone sleep?" I ask, making (Y/N) freeze.

Everyone said they slept fine, but Lance. "Well, I woke up to someone's armor clanking."

I looked to (Y/N) to see her tear up. She didn't say a word, but walked away from everyone. On that note, I turn to Clay. "Can I talk to you in private?"

He nodded, following me to my room. As I shut the door, I glare daggers at him.

"Did you rape my sister?" I ask as calmly as possible.

Clay was taken aback. "What?"

I basically growl at him. "You heard me! Did you rape my sister?!"

"Of course not. I wouldn't go back on my word, Aaron. Plus, I was asleep all night. After she pushed me away from almost kissing, I just went to bed. I wouldn't force her to do something she isn't comfortable with," he said, looking me dead in the eye. He really didn't do it. No one can lie that well, especially when they follow the knight's code like he does.

"I'm sorry, Clay. I'm just pissed because I saw her after it happened and I couldn't stop it. She said it was your blue armor, but that it wasn't you. I'm the worst brother ever."

I did something I never do in front of other people: I cry. I just broke down, fell on my knees, and cry. I felt Clay touch my shoulder.

"You aren't the worst brother ever. You just want to keep her safe. But, I have a guess on who it was. You see, it wasn't either of us. Macy definitely couldn't, Axl couldn't fit into my armor. So it must have been Lance."

I growl and curse under my breath. I wipe my tear-stained cheeks, standing up again. "I'll fucking kill him. Not literally, but he's so dead."

Clay nods as we begin to walk out of my room. Then, we heard a scream coming from my sister's room.
