Our Unhappy Ending (Alois Trancy x Reader)

Alone and Afraid

The perspective of Alois Trancy.
I lie awake tonight.
Thinking.
I showed Sam the most vulnerable part of me.
I can't decide if that was incredibly stupid, or if I was right to do so.
I couldn't help it. I was so scared.
They seem to trust me a little more now....
But, they also know my weaknesses.
Almost all of them.
I want to think that they like me, or even want to befriend me.
Or even become my lover.
My heart jumps at the possibility.
I want to think so,
But, they also can control my entire lifetime.
With a simple act, they could kill me.
My life is in their hands.
I want to trust them, but I don't know if I can.

Your/Sam's perspective
I stare up at the ceiling, thinking about the previous events.
I never thought that Alois could be so...
Vulnerable.
He's supposed to be the traumatized, sadistic, heartbroken Earl.
I never thought that he would break down. He never seemed afraid of anything.
I guess you really have to act unafraid, especially when the vulnerable and weak are often the first to die.

. . .

When I first got here, I was scared.
I've gotten pretty used to this place.
A small part of me still wants to go home,
but I also feel the need to help Alois.
Despite his many flaws, and sadism,
He's definitely someone worthy of a happy ending.

This feels wrong. I shouldn't be the one who gets to decide who lives and who dies.
I don't want to be the king. I don't want Alois to be my pawn.
But here I am.
I'm a part of this game regardless of what I want.
