assassin

request by @QueenOfTheHallows

you stared at your target and sighed.

why are all the people supposed to be killed in open spaces? you'd never understand that.

but that was the life of an assassin. shoot the gun, get paid, get a mission. pretty boring, but you got by pretty well, so you weren't complaining.

his name was erso. you never got first names. just last. 'erso'. he didn't look that bad, and you had no idea why you would kill him. but you couldn't think about that.

you started setting up your sniper when you heard some rustling behind you. you paused, scared you might get caught by the empire. most of the other assassins had, and the empire was so cruel. they killed almost everyone, endlessly torturing the rest.

"who...who's there?" you stuttered. suddenly something warm and kind of soft slammed in to you, making you wince as you fell to the ground. you groaned, and heard a click of a gun pointed straight at your face.

"what are you doing here?". you looked up to the source of that thick festian accent to find a very attractive man with thick black hair and a scruff of a beard. you stared at the deep brown eyes speechlessly.

"i asked a question"

"um, well, i'm just a passerby...with a gun...and..."

"i want the truth. don't lie to me. i have a gun at your face."

"i'm an assassin, okay? i'm trying to kill this erso dude and i was about to get a shot before you rudely interrupted me, and..."

he cut you off. "he's my target too, you know. so i'm going to take the shot and you're going to sit quietly and wait."

you suddenly flipped him around and pinned him on the ground. "i'm not going to give you this shot. i'm going to take it and you're going to shut up."

he chuckled.

"want to go out sometime?"
