All You Gotta Do Is Listen (England X Reader)

4: Remember the Past!

Story by: WaffleNeko

"J-Jack The Ripper?! I-Isn't that the... Tino.. oh my god..." You hid behind Arthur and clutched onto his uniform.

"So sorry that I didn't tell you sooner, (y/n)! You didn't want you to be my next victim, hm?" He said with his still cute accent. This isn't like Tino, you were scared. Full of fear.

Arthur, as a detective, grabbed his unknown gun out of his pocket.

'Where do people hide their things these days?!' You thought.

He was about to shoot, but someone's phone rang.

"Oh, dear..." Tino took the call as you and Arthur stood silent, "Hey, guy don't shoot yet..."

"Uh..."

"Oh... Ok, I'll see ya later after I deal with the reindeers..." He answers the phone, "Well, gotta go! I'll see you around! It won't be that long till we meet again!" And with that, he ran as fast as he could.

"C'mon!" Arthur grabbed your hand and started running to the direction of his home.

Once you reached there, he closed all the curtains and windows, locked the doors and made sure that the house was secured.

"We're not safe out there," He said blankly.

"W-What's going on?!" You shouted at him.

"You don't really remember, do you?" He sighed in agony, "Of course." His voice was shaky.

He sat down and you did as well, "(Y/n), it might seem so sudden, but you don't really know who you are. After all the clues I wanted to give you, you still don't remember!"

"R-Remember?" You were in pure shock. After all, you did just get away from your bestfriend who was secretly a murderer.

"You said to me that back in the days, you used to play with your dad's friend. Both of you would always play detective and read literature. (Y/n), I was that man. I fell in love with the girl I watched grew, yet here I am now, never knowing why I am what I am now today..." You were already stunned and crying when you heard his words. You couldn't, you just couldn't. You couldn't remember anything.

"T-Then what happened?" You bit your thumb afterwards, not letting your full potential of sadness let out.

"She fell in love with me, too. But then one day, a person from the Wendigos came and wanted to kill her dad. Her dad had a debt. Instead, he found something more precious, your memories of you and me. He took them away and I was forgotten of. So, in conclusion, I went away, never to be found. Being a detective like we always dreamed of, killing the murderers of the Wendigos..." He basically told you your whole life story. It was amazing that he knew more than you.

As he finished his story, you started crying your whole heart out.

"D-Don't cry!" He scooted nearer to you and hugged you.

"I-It's just so sad! Especially when it happened to me! A-Arthur, I-I want to get back my memories! I-I want to m-make you happy!" You cried more as his shirt started to get wet from your tears. You didn't know who you were anymore.

"Then we'll do it. We'll get your memories back." Arthur said as he hugged you tighter.

"B-But first, what's the Wendigos?" You looked up to him, your eyes were puffy.

"Wendigos... Ah, yes. Do you know what's a wendigo, dear?"

"No. Don't think so."

"Wendigos are mythical creatures, they are spirits that can posses people into cannibals. So, the owner of that company is Gilbert Beilschmidt. He is a country, well, he used to be. He's not a country anymore, and with that, he got furious. His country was Prussia. He was driven mad. And about that company, the company has murderers, such as Tino. Each gets a dead body and the company feasts on them– well the memories and other precious thoughts. And why did they become a company? They make deals with people. People would usually go there and make the murderers do a deadly task, in exchange, they give their bodies after their revenge..." He explained.

"W-Why would Tino f-feast on...?"

"I don't know. That's why we're going to find out.  We're going to get your memories back. And maybe you'll love me again..."

•Meanwhile•

"Y-YOU DID WHAT?!?" The man that Arthur was talking about slammed both his hands on his desk.

"Look, I'm sorry that I didn't kill them, I couldn't! She is my bestfriend and I couldn't just kill her. I could've killed that British boy but then you called!" Tino actually answered back to his boss. He never wanted to kill you. Just thinking about it made him terrified.

"You violated two rules! One, you didn't collect the body of your victim, two, you let people saw who you really were! And especially a detective!" Gilbert's accent made this conversation even made it more worth while.

"And who were those people?" Gilbert asked while massaging his temples.

"Hmm... Oh, Arthur Kirkland and (Y/n)(L/n)." Tino replied.

"Wait... S-Say the girl's name again?"

"Err... (Y/n)(L/n)...?"

"She's still alive!?"
