Bound By Blood: Remorse (DAGames X Reader)

7. Justice (GOOD ENDING)

*note: this chapter starts directly after ch 5, not 6. This is meant to be a completely different scenario from ch 6.*

I had gone upstairs to check on Will, since it was going to be daylight soon and we hadn't seen him. I knocked on the door and slowly opened it. "Will?" I asked softly, stepping into the room. Everything was destroyed and furniture had been thrown against the wall. Will was sitting in the corner holding his head in his hands. I walked over and kneeled in front of him, moving his hands away from his face and hugging him. His face was stained with blood from crying.

"I can't do this..." He sobbed. "It's okay, Will. We'll get through this everything's gonna be fine.." I tried to comfort him. "No it won't!" He stood up quickly. I wrapped my arms around him. "I'm sorry, I just... I love you. And of course I'm happy I get to spend eternity with you...but the circumstances aren't fair. Eric doesn't seem to think treachery should be punishable by death. Corvo won't get what he deserves..."

"Who cares? He's being punished and that's what matters." I said. "You just don't get it!" He said pushing past me. "That rule never existed. So what was the worst punishment to me, didn't count as anything to them. This means I'm probably going to be locked up, getting the same treatment Corvo is. They forced me to make you like us for eternity and now I don't even get to spend it with you.." Another tear fell from his face.

"Then fuck it. Why don't we just leave? Start new somewhere else...forget about Eric." I said. "They'd find us. It doesn't matter where we go." He replied. I looked down and tried not to cry. Will wrapped his arms around me. "We need to sleep, Love. We'll talk about this later"

~A few days pass~

I woke up to find that Will was already up. I went downstairs. He and the others were sitting at the table. Today was the re-trial day. Will noticed me walk in and smiled. I sadness in his eyes was unbearable. "Maybe they'll just give a warning...I mean it's been over a year since it happened.." Aya said. "It might as well have been 100 years...it wouldn't change anything." Will signed. "What if...I take your place?" I asked.
Will stood up, almost angered by my statement. "No! You've done nothing wrong."

"Will.." I walked toward him. "This entire thing is my fault. Because I didn't listen to you. If I hadn't left that night you never would've came after me and none of this would have happened." I said. Chloe hugged me. "It's not your fault. It's not anyone's fault. If I was in your position then I would've wanted to leave too. And Will's instinct was to protect you." Will stood up and hugged me. "We'll be alright." He said, kissing my forehead.

-Trial-

"It's not his fault!" I screamed at Eric again. I had tried to convince him to reconsider. "You're wasting my time." He said. Chloe pulled me back to them and Will stood in front of the Authority. "Ah, Mr. Ryan. I've been looking forward to seeing you standing here again." Eric said. Will stood in silence. "What? You're not going to try to defend yourself? Prove your innocence? Beg for mercy?" He seemed disappointed.

"I don't need to prove anything to you. I could go on for hours about why this is bullshit...but it wouldn't change your mind. It's a waste of my time and yours. The sooner I get thrown in jail, the sooner I get out. So don't waste my time with all the legal nonsense." Will said.

Eric sat in silence for a few moments. "Ten years." He finally said. "Solitary confinement, no outside contact. Silver chains for five hours a day." There was a loud gasp from the audience. I couldn't help but cry. Ten years was a long time, but at least it was short compared to forever.

I ran up and hugged him from behind. He turned around and kissed my forehead, a single tear leaving his eye. "You don't have to wait for me, Love." He said. "H-how could I not? I-it's not th-that..l-long..." I choked up. I leaned up and kissed him. "I love you, Will." - "I love you, too, Y/N."

I stood and watched as they took him away. It hadn't sunk in that I wouldn't see my love for ten years. Especially knowing what they'd do to him. So many mixed emotions ran through my head, preventing me from breaking down at this point.

"Don't worry, Y/N. He'll be okay.." Chloe said, placing her hand on my shoulder. "He's a tough bastard. I was expecting them to at least double that time. For whatever reason they may have gone easy. I think he lucked out." Chris said. I didn't know what to say, so I sat in silence. We left after everyone else was gone.

~5 years~

Nothing had been the same. We had moved again right after the trial. It was hard without Will there to say something stupid and lighten the mood. We all stuck together, nonetheless. It was getting harder to hope that Will would come out the same person he went in. It had only been half the time and we feared something could've happened and we wouldn't know it. I hadn't given up, though. I knew I needed to be there when he was let out. We all needed him to know he hadn't lost us and we'd be there for him when his sentence was over.

~5 more years~

-Will's P.O.V-

I was finally getting out. It seemed like a hell of a lot longer than ten years. I didn't have a plan on where to go. My best bet was back to the old house...assuming the crew still lived there. I could only hope Y/N would be there. Who am I kidding? She had probably moved on...I did tell her not to wait.

My thoughts were interrupted when the cell door was unlocked and I was told to leave. I was escorted to the gate of the prison. It was a solid door, in fact, the walls were solid too. They did anything to keep out contact. I watched the door as it slowly opened. I was happy to see the crew on the other side, all smiling at me. I walked toward them and was suddenly tackled by Chris. "WILLLLL! WE MISSED YOU MAN. WE WERE WORRIED YOU WEREN'T COMING OUT." He shouted. I chuckled and patted his back. "I missed you too buddy..."

Everyone else swarmed me at once causing me to almost fall over. After regaining my composure I noticed Y/N wasn't with them. I wasn't surprised...but sad at the same time. Chloe must've noticed. "Hey, don't go getting all depressed, now. Do you really think she didn't stick around?" I gave her a confused look, until she turned her head toward the woods. Y/N walked out with a huge smile on her face.

Without hesitation, I raced toward her and wrapped my arms around her, hugging her tighter than I ever had before. I had never been so happy to see anyone. I picked her up and spun her around. "I told you I wouldn't leave." She said with a smile. "I'm never letting go of you again..ever.." I said before smashing my lips onto hers and hugging her tighter. "Before you can...we have to let go of everything that's happened. All the bullshit is behind us. We're starting over...and doing it right this time." She said. I smiled. "That's all I've wanted since the night I met you." I said. She chuckled a bit and kissed me.

"I love you, Y/N."

"I love you too, Will."

And this concludes the Bound By Blood series! Don't worry, there will be more DAGames stuff in the future. For now, if you've got any requests or ideas of what I can do next, please share! I'm open to suggestions :)

Also, thank you guys for the amount of support I've gotten on this series. I'm super glad you enjoyed it and I had a ton of fun writing this! :D
