The Royal Runt (Blackstar x Reader) [AU]

Chapter 30: Pass

Soooo... Before you read this, I want to inform everyone of something~ (Thanks for reading, though ! I appreciate the comments *v*)

I just got my drawing tablet and well... I'm using that to work for a new book cover for this story.

So for now, this'd be the last update. I'd update again after I finish :>

That's all ! Enjoy~~

Blackstar's POV]

Thunder boomed from the rain as it poured down harder. I narrowed my eyes at his words. "Over my dead body."

"Blackstar..." (y/n) mumbled beside me, and when I turned to look at her, she was staring at her former friend with widened eyes. She was... She was shaking...

...I bet she's remembering that night when Tsubaki died. This would've been the same thing. Going up against him in a death match, all for her safety...

I felt the urge to hug her and calm her down right there. And I didn't resist... I only didn't hug her. Now's not just the time for that.

"It'll be okay." I mumbled, deciding to show her a smile. "You're with me. The great Blackstar. Plus, stars shine brighter in nighttime. So don't worry." I let my katana form from the shadows. Grabbing it, I spun the blade to complete the process.

"History won't repeat itself. Trust me."

"Won't it ?" Fleitte snickered. "I won't be so sure."

"B-blackstar, I can't..." (y/n) stared up at me with a frown. "What if..."

"Hey." I answered, turning to her with a smile. It's the least I can do...

"We're going to fight together. You can aid me from behind. I'll make sure he doesn't even lay a finger on you."

"B-but my curse---"

"I know." I mumbled, but leaned in close to her face. I can see the fear in her eyes... It's my duty to take that away.

"We'd be done before you even get tired. I'm sorry for making you do this... I need your help. I know it's strange, me needing your help, but... Strength needs to bow down to wisdom at times."

I placed a kiss on her forehead. Damn, I should've went down to her lips... I'd regret that later, I'm sure.

"...I bow down to you."

I didn't hear anything from her. Which is great. I can't deal with being flustered at the moment.

So I turned to Fleitte, and held my katana tightly.

The redhead did the first move. He attacked with fireballs.

Lame. Fireballs are for people who don't have enough balls to attack head on.

*cue evil laughter*

I sliced each one. As I did, they exploded. Heat seared through my skin, but I didn't get scorched. Yay.

"Eini, Eiko, Eiru, Eins,"

First four words from her, and my skin glowed orange.

"Hephaestus' Blessing !"

I sliced another fireball in half, and this time, I didn't feel the heat... Fire immunity, huh.

I'm starting to get worried... I doubt we'd be finished with Fleitte before even collapses.

Fleitte laughed again, sending more black fireballs. "Aww, you're doubting yourself ! You poor thing." He grinned. "Just surrender now. Maybe I'd change my mind and let you die painlessly."
