Cold air chilled your tiny teenaged frame in the dark. Moonlight glittered off your well taken care of six-shooter. I fucked up again you scolded yourself. I could have vist Erron his job. Can't i do anything right? Your mind lingered on the events of this morning. Your loving older brother Erron was on patrol for emporer Kotal Kahn along with ermac and you had spotted him walking. At the time you didn't know he was on the job and ran up to him to ask for your knife.
Ermac mistook you for an assassin, i guess wearing multiple firearms and knives and having your mouth covered by a bandana have that affect. Well, Ermac had attacked you, sending Erron into the middle to try and break the fight, wounding the physic in the prossess.
Erron shooed you off and went with Ermac back to the palace. You walked home, alone, feeling useless as ever. You set your gun aside and pulled the all-pourpose hunting knife out of it's holster. How meny years have i been bothering Erron? Yiu asked yourself. Hundreds. Still somehow he tolorates me. How meny years before I'll do something right? Eions... A tear ran down your soft cheek as the razor sharp blade added another scar to your collection. Erron never noticed your scars, if he spotted one he assumed you got it in a fight and told you to be more careful or made you train a few hours.
Hot tears rolled down your face. Suddenly a hand landed on your back. You drop the blade in shock, Errons sorrowful eyes met yours. He wiped away your tears with his calloused hand, not saying a single word, just staring at you. His gaze brought more tears to your eyes, it wad enough to bring up more guilt, more self hatred. "E-erron..i...I'm sorry...i.." You choke out words, desperate to form a coherent sentance.
Erron hushed you and pulled you into a firm embrace. "Stop, you have nothing to be apologizing for." His voice was calm and soothing.
"I almost got you fired..." You murmur into his crimson scarf. Tears wetting the fabric. He began to softly stroke your back.
"You didn't know. Besides, i can always get a new job. Why would you hurt yourself because of a mistake so small?"
"It's not just that..." You snuffle "ever since you started taking care of me, all I've done is cause trouble for you."
"No you're not, babygirl." He whispered, pulling the mask from his face and kissed your forehead. "If it wasn't for you, i would have eaten a bullet years ago."
You sniffled,and looked at him with big eyes, tears still falling. "(Y/n) you're my only reason for working, i will always try to make life the best i can for you. " he gentally granbed your wrist and kissed the abrasion. "Please don't leave me alone."
More tears flowed at his words. Your arms tightly held onto him as you sobed into his scarf. He consoled you the best he could, of course, he had always been a wonderful brother. To others he was nothing but a merc looking for money, a greedy, heartless gun for hire, but to you. He was the best, kindest man to live. He loved you, more than anything. That was priceless..
