Oblivion (Laurence x Reader) [HOLD]

You're Safe Now

Laurence's POV

No... I'm not too late... Y/N is on the ground, bleeding everywhere; eyes closed. I slowly drag myself over to her and fall hard on my knees next to her. I place my forehead on her side, feeling warmth still in her body... a-and... and a heartbeat! My eyes beg me to cry, but I deny it. No more crying. No more saddness, please. I can't take it anymore all at once.
"She's alive," I murmur and Aphmau must hear me because she walks over in her big wedding dress and stares down at Y/N's bleeding body. I get off of my knees and lay on my back, resting the back of my head on Y/N's hips. My pants had torn where my knees are because of when I fell and my knees have scrapes and forming bruises. "Y/N... I know you can't hear me..." I turn my head and hiss in her ear, "but the whole time I was locked in the cell without you... I realized that you are my heart... you're the thing I care about most..." Aphmau knows I'm talking but she can't hear the words I'm saying.
"Laurence, I'm going to go find out where they've hidden our stuff. If I get caught, I'm running back here, so make sure you've got Y/N ready to depart," Aphmau commands and runs out of the gallows, leaving dusty footprints on the floor. After I know she's gone, I talk a bit louder to Y/N.
"I thought it was Aphmau the day I saw her on her boat like an angel in the sea. But that angel doesn't want to give me, a monster, a chance. Maybe, I though, you wil---" Y/N suddenly turns her head and presses her lips against mine, her eyes still closed. I don't know how to react. My body is feeling the warmth and my heartbeat has quickened. Well, I guess I do have a heart still after all. I kiss back, laying on my side and becoming parallel with her on the floor and then wrapping my arms and leg around her. She puts her hands on my cheeks and I can feel her heartbeat strongly in her fingertips. Her heartbeat matches mine perfectly. When I feel her lips pull apart slowly, I long to just press her face against mine for a little bit longer. Y/N stares at me, her perfect E/C eyes sparkling. I can't tell if I'm smiling or not, but I must be because Y/N smiles back.
"I guess we can be monsters together..." She whispers, taking my hand off of her cheek and holding it instead.
"What do you mean?"
"You know I'm a Shadow Knight, don't you?" I know I shouldn't take this as news, seeing as I found her in the Nether, probably after her transformation. I look just above Y/N's matted hair and look at where she was going to get hanged. The rope is missing, completely gone until I finally see it in her left hand. Her neck looks like it wasn't even touched, but her face is pale as if there is no blood rushing in her vessels up there. Before I get the chance to ask her what happened, Aphmau rushes into the room,
"C'mon, let's get moving." I act as if the position I was in was used to pick her up, so I pick her up bridal-style, holding her very close to my chest. Right when Aphmau is turned away, I kiss the top of Y/N's head between her meif~wa ears and mutter,
"You're safe now."
