Love is Hard Clay X Reader

Rescue

All of your friends, the knights, and you were in the mission area, planning on how to infiltrate the Evil Mobile. Clay kept saying that the non-knights shouldn't come, but you said that you were. He gave up.

"So, we're going to need groups to go since six of you don't have Nexo power. It works out evenly, then. Luna, (Y/N), you'll come with me. Axl, Jessie, and Midnight, you'll group. Trix, Hunter, you'll go with Macy. Now, infiltrating will be hard, so one group goes through the roof, the other two go through the front. We'll split up there and find Aaron. We'll keep our Nexo power on just in case we run into any monsters. Does anyone object to the plan?" Clay explained, looking around to all the faces, holding your hand.

No one spoke up.

"Alright. Let's get ready."

Time Skip~

You had to walk since the vehicles would be too loud to sneak. The three knights had a power up on, making their suits bright with gold. That made it harder to sneak up on the monsters, but it was for protection.

Clay led you and Luna to the front of the fortress. Macy, Hunter, and Trix began climbing the walls as Axl opened the large door with force. You all walked in, coming to two halls. Your group turned right while Axl's went left. What made you uncomfortable was the fact that no guards were around. It was...strange.

You shrugged it off, walking closer to Clay. Luna had silent tears run down her face. Then, you felt a presence. As you were about to tell Clay, he stopped, holding a protective arm in front of you, lowering his mask. You instantly know what it was: Lance.

"Well, well, if it isn't Clay Borington and his little whore, (Y/N)."

You hear Clay growl, but you look behind you to see no one there. You peek out behind Clay's arm to see Luna giving a thumbs up before walking off into the shadows.

Clay and Lance launched towards each other, hitting their weapons against the other's.  You sneak passed them, following Luna down the hall.  As you walk, you saw a door wide open.  You walk into it to see Luna kneeling down in front of something.  Or someone.

Luna turned, smiling with more tears.  Aaron looked at you, a light smile on his face.  Sadly, his arms were still chained to the wall.

"Hey, (Y/N).  Glad you found me, sis."

You sat beside him, crying lightly.  "I'm glad you're okay, Aaron.  We've been worried as hell about you."

He chuckled, pulling at the chains again.

Just then, the blue knight came into the room, dragging the former knight with him.  He was unconscious.  Clay dropped him as he walked over to the green knight.  With a quick swing of his sword, the chains broke, but Aaron still had the cuffs left on his wrists.

Aaron stood up, slightly wobbly, but walked to the opposite wall to grab his bow, headphones, and helmet.

"Thanks for the save, but why'd would you put my girlfriend and my sister in danger, Clay?"

Clay chuckled nervously.  "Well, that's what they made us do.  All of them wanted to come.  It seemed to be a smart idea, but we should tell the others to get out of here."

The blue knight went on the communication installed into the headsets of the helmets.

Aaron hugged you and Luna close.  "Thanks for coming, but next time, I want you home safe.  Especially when Lance is working with Jestro now."

You both gasp in surprise as Clay returns to your side.

He then leads the way out, meeting Axl's group near the entrance.  Macy's group was waiting outside, and, once out, all ran quickly back to the Fortrex.

Time Skip~

As soon as you all got back, the group of non-knights went back home to get some sleep.  You were laying on Clay's chest, listening to his calm heartbeat as you pay close attention to Aaron.  He seemed, kind of distant since they got back.  You were worrying about him.

"Hey, Aaron," you start, "what's wrong?  You seem worried."

He sighed, fiddling with his thumbs.  "When I was younger, our dad punished me for the smallest things.  That day, I ran in the house and broke a lamp.  When our parents got home, Dad yelled at me.  He took my headphones and smashed them in front of me.  Then, he threw me into my room and said that if I moved or made a sound, he'd break something else.  Mom went to buy a new set of headphones, but I became paranoid with the silence and stillness of my room.  When Mom got back, she hugged me, allowing me to cry.  Ever since, I've been afraid of nothing."

You reach for his hand, holding it in yours.  "You won't be in silence or stillness while I'm here, alright?"

He smiled at you, nodding.

You smile back, leaning back into Clay's chest.  Aaron went off to bed, but you weren't tired.

"Clay?"

"Yeah, (Y/N)?"

You sit up to look into his eyes.  "Clay, I want a child.  I can't keep living knowing I lost a baby that was a part of me.  Clay, I want to to get me pregnant and have a baby with me.  Please."

He blushes, looking at the floor before smiling back at you.  "As long as I get permission from Aaron, I'd love to have a baby with you."

You smile, hugging him lightly.  "Thank you.  Should we head to bed and ask Aaron tomorrow?"

Clay nodded, leading you to your room, giving you a good night kiss before heading to his own room to sleep.
