Behind The Mask {Killer X Reader}

Strange Feelings

Your heart is pounding so hard in your chest that you can hear it in your head. The weight of his body on yours didn't frighten you like you thought it would. Instead you felt an unfamiliar fluttering in your stomach.

"I'm so sorry!" Killers eyes go wide as he quickly climbs off of you and stands. "I didn't mean to!" He waves his hands out in front of him.

You giggle at his flustered form. What should have scared the hell out of you, instead made you smile.

You push yourself up of the floor and brush yourself off.

"Thank you Killer, for protecting my head!"

"Your welcome!"

You stare at him for a few minutes and decide to give in to his request.

"(Y/n)"

"What?" Killer tilts his head.

"My name, it's (y/n)!"

His eyes widden again as a blush dusts his cheeks. He didn't accually think you would tell him, but he just had to ask.

"(Y/n)!" I like it... It fits you. I'm still gonna call you Utsukushī-me sometimes. That's never gonna change!"

For some reason this makes you smile.

You have only been free on this ship for a day and you feel like a weight has been lifted off of you.

Another cannon ball hits the sea right next to the ship, making it rock violently back and forth.

Killer pulls you into his body and holds onto you so you don't fall again. You can hear his heart beating in his chest as he presses your head against it, his fingers slipping into your hair.

"KILLER, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?"

You hear Kids angry voice come over the intercom, making you tense up.

Killer picks you up bridle style.

"Hold on tight, were gonna move fast."

You do as your told, wrapping your arms around his neck.

Killer kicks off the ground and moves at incredible speed. You clutch onto his shirt and pull your head up into the crook of his neck. You close your eyes as you smell his suttel scent of his bathing soap and sweat.

Once you reach his room he sits you on the bed and shakes out your blanket, wrapping it snuggly around you.

You smile and thank him.

"I'm sorry to have to leave you alone, but Kid needs me!" He says as he pulls on his arm guards and latches his scythes into place. "Stay here! I'll come back for you!"

Your heart skips a beat when you hear his words, but you push it away. You have never felt this and don't know what it means so you ignore it.

Killer stops when he gets to the door and takes one last look at you from over his shoulder.

Then without a word, he's gone.

You get up and try the best you can to shut the door. You drag the desk chair across the room and push it against it to hold it closed.

When Killer kicked the door in eailer, he broke the latch and part of the frame. It wont stay shut now, and that scared you.

You were tired and wanted to sleep. You figured that if someone came in while you were asleep then the chair would scrape over the wood floor and wake you.

Your such a light sleeper that it should work.

Once your satisfied that the door is shut you climb into Killers bed, pushing your body against the wall and tightening your grip on your blanket.
