Hourglass [DbD One-Shots] REQUESTS CLOSED

Confrontation - Doctor/Fem!Reader

This is the 2nd part of 'Glitch - Doctor/Fem!Reader's requested by @hyisenth :)

The institute seemed to be even bigger than you always thought, now that you knew a second killer was roaming around the bloodied halls of the bloody asylum.

You turned around for the thousandth time since the doctor let you go. You still couldn't understand, why? Why did he go after you, why did he save you, why did he let you live, why you?

All those questions came crashing at you a while ago, but now they circled your brain, they talked at once, they whispered, asked more questions than you could count, they ignored your pleading to stop distracting you. You knew that Evan was still there somewhere and he himself said, that he won't go easy on them both next time. But... By 'next time' did he mean next trial or next encounter? You didn't know, that's why you needed to be ready, but those stupid questions just wouldn't leave your mind.

Then, you stopped dead in your tracks. You remembered the way he pulled you up from the ground. He... He actually held you in his arms for a moment. He held you protectively and when he spun you around and you came face to torso... When you lifted your head... You haven't even realised how close your faces were. You were too afraid to do or say anything, but you were far more confused to let it show. He nearly kissed you... You nearly kissed and you haven't even noticed!

You were so wrapped in your thoughts, you didn't hear the footsteps behind you. Just when you realised what was happening you felt a hand on your waist and you being pulled up. 'O-Oh God-! Oh no!' You thought as you wiggled and punched the back of the killer who said would leave you be. 'I guess Evan really IS in a bad mood tonight' You grunted and huffed. Finally you saw the exit, but... He walked right past it to the... BASEMENT?! NO NO NO NO NO!

You wiggled even more then before, knowing that if he hang you there, you would be lost for real. At least for this round, but this thing hurt like hell! It didn't even injure or hurt you like the other hooks. Those four were like the Devil's work!

"Evan!" Someone shouted from behind you and heck, did this somebody's voice seem angry! You looked up to find the one who saved you earlier and seemed to try to save you for the second time that day. Herman looked so eager to throw a punch or two at the other and then elecrtoduce him to death, that you felt shivers running down your spine.

You stopped wiggling as soon as you saw him and tried to peek from behind Evan as The Trapper turned around to greet his normally-on-the-campside friend.

"I thought I told you to leave her alone. And by next time, I was talking about the next trial!" the doctor snapped at him and growled under his breath giving the killer a warning.

Trapper only rolled his eyes and threw you to the doctor, who caught you before you even hit the ground. Evan huffed and turned around walking away, leaving you two in a pretty uncomfortable position. And by that, I mean Herman holding you bridal style...

You quickly shook your head and hang it low as you were placed on the ground, trying to hide your blushing face. Maybe you were just stressed and overheating? Yes, that must be the case of your reddish face! Right...?

Herman turned to walk away, but you grabbed his arm and shouted a quick 'stop!'. He looked at you in surprise and stopped immediately waiting for you to say something.

" Why?"

" Why What?"

You gritted your teeth in annoyance. " You know what I mean Herman! Do you think I'm an idiot?!" You finally snapped. After so long, after a whole year you finally snapped. And finally you'll be getting your answers, you were sure of it. You won't let him go until he tells you what you want to know. You won't.

"N-No, but-!"

" You're always after me, Herman! You always chase me first, even when It's obvious you already saw the other survivors! You never go after them! You go after me! And I don't understand. Why? WHY ARE YOU ALEAYS AFTER ME?!"

You haven't realised until now, that you were shouting and your voice was becoming more and more desperate. You haven't even realised you were shaking and your eyes were slowly watering.

"I just don't understand" you calmed down and whispered gently. " Why me? Why is it always me, Herman?"

The doctor was  cautious for a minute and didn't say anything until you let out a shallow breath. "Because..." he paused for a moment thinking about what he should say. Finally he looked at you with soft eyes and leaned over you, placing one hand underneath your chin, so you could look him in the eyes. "Because that" he explained simply and before you could ask what he meant by saying that, he connected his lips with yours.

You blushed bright red instantly and gasped at the kiss surprised. You were shocked at first, but soon moaned and closed your eyes deepening the kiss Herman started. You could feel the doctor smiling slightly and you two parted your lips after a minute panting, him holding you for some time in his cold arms. But you didn't feel cold at all. You only felt warmth and affection from the man, who hold you and protected you.

You smirked softly not even looking up. "So that's why you never let me go" You laughed and heard him chuckle quietly, but didn't say anything otherwise.

After a few minutes you two knew that Evan was getting impatient as you heard a growl from the other side of the institute. You thanked Herman and waved to him as you walked away. He smiled and waved back at you, and walked away when you disappeared behind the corner.

When you finally escaped you knew. You knew you won't fear him anymore. You knew you won't run away afraid of him anymore. You knew he never chased you with bloodlust and never will.

You knew...

You knew you loved him...

And he loved back...

You won't live in this hellhole alone and unloved anymore...

Someone loved you...

You loved back...

You loved each other and nothing will ever change it.

I know the end isn't too good, but I tried, ok? I TRIED! T•T
