Our Powers Combined ((Cry x Reader))

Sixteen; With Great Friendships...

Cry's P.O.V.

Felix looked at me with a look I had never seen him use before; a mixture of betrayal and some sort of admiration. His eyes scanned the scene again and I could only sigh once more. I woke up this morning feeling amazing about yesterday, about the fact that Hidden Death loved my gift for her and the fact that we seem to finally get along. 

I think I was so busy with Hidden, that I forgot my actual friends. I talked to Felix sometimes as we lived together but it has been a while since I even saw Chad and (Y/n). So, even though this morning started great, now I was in a weird situation that I had no idea how to get out of.

"Okay," Felix utters, he rubs the back of his head with his hand and closes his eyes, probably to think about what to say. "So, you  are Cry?" 

I bend down to grab my mask, that I dropped when Felix had walked in. There was a small crack in the ceramic on the right side. The damage wasn't big but I should get it fixed, to be sure. "Yes. I'm sorry you have to find out this way." 

Felix had wanted to scare me this morning. He snuck into the living room where I was polishing my mask whilst using my other hand to boil the water for the tea I was making. He had come in so quietly that I didn't hear him and he did scare me, just not how he planned to do. "I'm not sure how to respond to that." He says honestly. 

"What do you mean?" 

He sits down at the table where I am still sitting and he sighs. "I'm not sure if I should feel proud or betrayed. If I should praise you for going out there and saving people with none other than Hidden Death or if I should feel angry because you didn't tell me and I had to find out. I'm not sure if there is a reason behind not telling me this, or if it is just the simple fact that you do not trust me." 

I want to speak up. I want to shout out that I do trust him, that he is my best friend in the world and that I was afraid to ask for help. I want to tell him that I was afraid to be judged for having these powers and not doing anything sooner. I want to tell him about that day that my parents took me to their work at the laboratory where everything happened and where I lost them,

But when I open my mouth to spill every secret of my entire life, not a single sound comes out. I sit there like a goldfish for a while, meaninglessly opening and closing my mouth when the guy in front of me sighs. "I'm going to take a walk." He stands up and leaves before I can say anything. He slams the front door loudly and at that moment I realise what an idiot I am. 

I realise how serious Felix had become and how he was now wandering the streets with no one to ask for advice about the situation. The only thing I could do was text the person that I should have texted a while ago. 

(Y/n)'s P.O.V.

'Hey, feeling kind of down. Had a fight with Felix, would you mind hanging out for a while and just having fun? It's okay if you don't wanna. x Ryan'

I stared at my phone for a moment where Ryan's text had just appeared on my screen. When his name popped up I had smiled but when I actually read the message that smile was quickly off my face. I had felt like I had abandoned our friendship for a while due to the whole Hidden Death thing so when he asked to hang out I wanted to typ back that he could immediately come. 

"Yo sis, hurry up!" Aaron shouts in front of me. He was currently dragging Chad towards a shop he had seen and apparently wanted me to come along as well. I looked at my brother and my house mate, back at my phone and started typing. 

'I'm in the mall with Chad and my brother. We could sit down at the coffee shop with the donuts and wait for you, if you don't mind spending the day with them as well? xoxo' 

Ryan almost immediately answered that that was fine and how surprised he was to figure out that I had a brother, as I never mentioned my family before. "Aaron, Chad!" I called and they both stopped their argument about the clothing store to look back at me. "We're getting some coffee!" 

*** 

I had just ordered Chad, Aaron and myself some drinks when Ryan walked up to the coffee shop. I quickly walked out to meet him half way so we could have a quick private talk. His brown hair was abnormally messy, as if he had run his hands through it constantly since he texted me. His eyes were downcasted and just showed that he felt guilty about something. 

"Hey," I greeted as I placed my hand on his shoulder. He looked up and smiled when he saw me. "If you want to take a small walk together, just say so." 

"Hey and that's fine. I think it's better to have a bit of a distraction." He answers. "Thanks for even wanting me here." He shrugs at the last sentence and I give him a confused look. 

"Of course." I answer as I guide him towards the table that Aaron had picked out. "Felix must be pissed if you say something like that." 

"Don't think he'll forgive me, (Y/n)." He tells me before sighing. "I fucked up big time." 

"It's going to be alright." I assure him. "You mean a lot to him, I bet he won't give up on you this easy. Anyway, it is time for you to meet my brother and have a bit of a distraction going!" 

Aaron and Ryan got along really well. They shared quite a few hobbies, which surprised me. Who knew that Ryan was really into throwing around knives? Maybe I should ask him for some tips, I bet he could teach me a lot. 

Once again we completely forgot the time and only left when the barista was going to close up. When we got to the parking lot I asked once again if Ryan wanted to talk alone and he nodded. I told Chad and Aaron that I'd be walking Ryan home and went with him. The walk itself was completely silent. Ryan and I looked up at the sky and admired the stars that were strong enough to shine through the light pollution of the busy city. 

When we arrived at his house Ryan hesitantly opened the door. When no movement was heard inside we both realised that Felix either hadn't come back at all, or at least wasn't around at this moment. We walked in and Ryan immediately sat down on the couch.

I went into the kitchen to boil some water, even though Ryan had been drinking tea none stop the entire evening. Too much tea isn't a thing, right?

When I am done making the hot beverage I sit down next to him only to see tears brimming in his eyes. I sigh as I wrap my arms around him before feeling his soft tears staining my shoulder. We sit like that for a long time, complete silence, the only sound running through the apartment are Ryan's soft sniffles every once in a while. When he pulls away from me the tea has cooled down quite a bit but Ryan doesn't seem to mind. 

He places one of his hands on my right cheek before pushing his lips against my other cheek softly. "Thank you for being there for me, it means a lot." 

I look at the broken man in front of me and feel tears starting to form in my own eyes as I look at him. "Ryan, I can't promise you that I'll always know how to fix your problems, but I can promise you that I will always be here with two shoulders that you can cry on." He smiles brightly before grabbing the mug of tea and walking to the kitchen but not before he ruffles my hair and we both chuckle softly.
