Love me pls
Lesley POV
"Uhhn... uhh.." Lesley groaned
She woke up to the sound of a fireplace. She felt as if something was squeezing her tightly, pinning her against what seemed to be a pillar.
She opens her eyes to see an unfamiliar place, almost like an old shack, filled with dusty bookcases, cobwebs and hundreds and hundreds of bloody blades.
She tries to stand up, but whatever was holding her kept her tightly secured. She couldn't move. She looked down at her torso only to see a rope tightly wrapped around her, suspended so tightly she had trouble breathing..
And that's when she realized..
"No.. no.. no oh my god where am I!?"
Heavy footsteps make clicking sounds on the wooden floor. Lesley's heart beats faster as the footsteps come closer.
She looks around to try and find her rifle, but it was nowhere to be seen..
"Whe-where is my rifle!?"
The person causing the footsteps comes in the room. It was Gussion.
"You.. what have you done!? What am I doing he-"
Gussion wraps a cloth around Lesley's mouth. Just to keep her quiet for the time being.
"I took your gun and put it in the attic. And before you ask, no. I haven't harmed your brother.." Gussion takes a step closer to Lesley and holds her chin up.
"Remember when I said that if you didn't agree, then I'll take you for myself?" Gussion
Tears start to roll from Lesley's eyes. It's as if she lost her tough persona and revealed her true colors just from those simple tears.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Gussion says as he removes the cloth from Lesley's mouth.
"I-I just.. I just feel like a disappointment. I failed to protect the city and I've covered my shame by lying to my own brother.. I just can't do this anymore.." Lesley
Gussion felt his heart ache, he has realized what he has done. If he hadn't taken her away, then she wouldn't be in such a horrible situation. He couldn't bare seeing her like this, and felt like an absolute monster. He used a knife to slowly untie the rope.
"But.. why?" Lesley
"What do you mean?" Gussion
"Why would you spare me like this? Why would you let someone like me go? Why didn't you end my suffering sooner?" Lesley had many questions. But she was just in so much pain she had trouble talking.
Gussion didn't know how to answer. But, he simply placed his finger on her lips and came closer to her face. It wasn't long before he pressed his lips against hers, kissing her passionately.
Lesley felt this warmth from Gussion's body. She didn't understand anything, but all she knew was that this criminal had no horrible intentions with her.
Gussion breaks the kiss, slowly parting their faces away.
"Because I like you." Gussion
Time Skip
Lesley is wrapped in a blanket as Gussion gives her a cup of warm tea.
"Ah, thank you." Lesley says as she takes a sip.
"You know, for a criminal you don't make bad tea." Lesley
"Heh. Thanks. My mother used to ask me to make her some before she passed away. I still miss the feeling of sitting on her lap while she tells me stories of the world outside." Gussion
"Sorry to ask, but how did she pass?" Lesley
"She was executed by the supreme lords. She was forbidden to have a child, and she kept me a secret. She tells me stories of the world outside, so that I can atleast know what it was like. I wasn't allowed outside the house. Or the supreme lords would've found me and executed me. So, I never really had a childhood." Gussion
"I know how you feel.. I grew up alone on the streets, I used to get beat up a lot and spent countless nights alone. Even after my family took me in, I spent the rest of my life practicing guns and being taught that.. all criminals were horrible people. But, looking at you.. you aren't so bad after all." Lesley
"Thank you, it's been long since I've properly talked to someone about how I feel." Gussion
Lesley just grinned, and took another sip.
Gussion looks outside the window, to see that the sun was setting. The sky was beautifully colored with warm colors, and the animals were all skipping towards their shelters.
"Uhh, hey. Want to come with me? I want to shoțw you something." Gussion
Lesley nods, and they both go outside.
"So what is it that you wanted to show me?" Lesley
"You'll see." Gussiom
After a small while of walking through the woods, Lesley sees a group of lights. They both continue and head towards these lights, until they arrive at a grove.
It was filled with flowers, sleeping animals and a river with water so clear it looked like glass. But, the most beautiful part were the fireflies flickering and playing in the air, it seemed as if the stars have come alive.
"This.. is beautiful." Lesley
"I know. I used to come to this place when I escaped and just hang out with the animals. I'm basically one of them now." Gussion
They both laugh sweetly under the stars.
They both continue to tell each other stories of their journey, and it's almost as if they were so close to each other.
Lesley saw Gussion's laughs. Turns out he wasn't a bad guy after all. In fact, he was probably was one of the sweetest people she has ever met. He wasn't a rebel assassin as people said. He was a kind hearted, animal loving pure soul. He was indeed just misunderstood.
They both didn't notice how close they were to each other, but they didn't care. They were both just taking a moment in this grove.
The chatting continues, and a small rabbit crawls up to them and lays in between their feet.
"Aww, look at the little guy. He's adorable." Gussion
"Indeed, he is." Lesley
They both smile and look at the grass. It gets very peaceful, and Gussion looks at Lesley. Lesley noticed it and also looked him. They were both just
staring at each other, it reminded them both of their first battle. But that was all in the past. Gussion places his hand on Lesley's cheek, and Lesley places her hand on top of his, slowly closing her eyes and embracing the warmth of Gussion's hand. He cups her face in his hands, closes his eyes and kisses her, being sure to be gentle and soft. Gussion loved the feeling of Lesley's soft lips, it was as if he was kissing the clouds. They both didn't realize what they were doing, but they enjoyed it.
Lesley breaks the kiss and stares into Gussion's eyes. Gussion does the same. They both just laugh it off and sleep on the soft grass.
Since I noticed the story was gaining a few reads and votes, I decided to add in just a small drop of fluff. Y'know, just to tease the readers a bit :>
I'll probably update this again tomorrow, idk tho :DD
Thanks for reading uwu~
