Tangled in your embrace: Lubbock x Reader

Together We Rise

Your eyes fluttered open and you found yourself sitting on an old mattress in the corner of a room. It was cold, dark and empty, and had no windows. The only source of light was the small bulb that hung from the ceiling, swinging back and forth. You slowly got up and tried to move anywhere really, but as you moved further away from the mattress the more your leg started to hurt. You looked down still barely able to see, and bent over to touch your leg. You could feel what felt like cold metal, a chain was wrapped around your leg. The skin around it had begun to blister and you tried to remember how long you had been in here. You pulled at the chain but it didn't budge.

There was a sudden thud from the far end of the room followed by some creaking. A large man emerged from the darkness and into the small beam of light. You hadn't seen him before. He held a tray in his hands with a bowl of soup and a spoon. He placed it onto the floor and shoved it towards you, the soup spilling over the sides of the bowl. "Who are you?" you asked, but the man remained quiet, making his way back up the stairs.

You stared at the bowl in disgust, it was filled with all sorts of nasty things and didn't look good at all. Seconds passed and the large man came walking down the stairs again. He held a bucket of water a sponge and a red cloth in his hand. "Master wants you to be ready for tonight." The man said placing the items on the floor in front of you. "I will give you privacy pretty lady." he said in the sweetest way possible before walking out again. You got up and started to clean yourself, scrubbing the dirt and blood from when James knocked you out. Your head still hurt meaning that it had only been a day or two since he kidnapped you. "Why the hell did he have to use a chain?" You tugged on it once again, but nothing. "My team doesn't even know where I am, or if I'm alive. Heck not even Lubbock knows.

Lubbock's prov

I walked down over to the water fall to check on Y/N. It had been too long and she still hasn't come back to the tree house. "How long does it take to bath?" I asked her, but there was no response. I pushed passed the willows that hid the small waterfall, but she was no where to be seen. "Could she have gone back to her team? Dammit Lubbock, why do you always scare the cute ones away!" I turned to walk away and wallow in self pity but I noticed something very strange. The blanket that Y/N had wrapped herself in earlier that day was laying on the ground and large footprints lead into the woods. "Those are definitely not hers, her size is a Y/S and that's too big." I ran back to the tree house to grab my stuff and made my way back to head quarters.

I marched through the doors and found everyone in the dining room munching their food. They all looked up from their bowls to look at me. "Lubbock where have you been!" Leone exclaimed. "I just needed time to myself." I said marching passed everyone and into my bedroom. I grabbed a clean coat and started to restock it with what ever weapons I had laying around. I pulled open the drawers of my dresser and pulled out a large map. However, I had no idea where she could be. "Damn it!" Just then there was a knock on my door. "Come in." Leone walked in and over to where I was standing. "What are you doing?" I sighed and showed her the map. "I think something happened to Y/N."

"Y/N, who's that?"

"Ah... Well... she's just someone I know and I need to find her."

"Aww does lubbock have a crush? Don't tell me you're stalking the poor girl."

"No! Well I mean not this time. We spent the night together and well, she dissapeard this morring."

"I'm not sure if you know this, but that's how hookups work."

"No Leone! We didn't sleep together, I mean we did but not like that."

"Wait, so you're telling me your horny ass didn't fuck a girl the first time you met? Must be love." she teased but I ignored it.

"Wait, maybe you can help me! The last time I saw her she was wearing this. Do you think you could track her scent?" I handed her the blanket and she took a big whiff. She paused for a moment, the wrincles in her forehead deepened as she grew curious, the smell was almost familiar. She grabbed the whole thing and took two more sniffs before it dawned on her and she became furious. "Lubbock!" I quckly put my hands up defensively. "She's that Yager girl!" I pulled her further away from the door to make sure no one could hear us.

"I know, I know. But she's not as bad as she seems." I whispered.

"Lubbock, she could be using you to get to us. For God's sake, you can't be that dumb, she's our enemy."

"I know, but this time it's different. I kinda like this one." I said blushing a little and rubbing the back of my neck.

"You say that with all of them."

"Please, she could be in serious danger."

"And she could put us in serious danger."

"Leone don't be like this."

"Don't be like what! You are willing to risk it all for a girl you only met yesterday!"

"It's what I do, why do you think I'm here! All for a woman I have admired all my life! I have risked everything for her and she has shown me nothing! Now I might have found someone who actually gives a shit about me. And if it means riking it all to save her, I damn will, because I'd rather risk it all for someone who actually likes me rather than for someone who doesn't even notice me."

"Fine I'll help you find her. But if Najenda finds out, I wasn't involved." I gave her a nod and we headed out to look for her.

The town was filled with people laughing and drinking. Stall owners were closing up shop and packing up for the night. Lights in houses desplayed shadows of children playing in the livingroom, almost like a movie. We kept walking down the gravel roads as Leone had her head tilted to the sky. Her sniffling echoing through the now empty streets. Leone came to a halt and at the end of a allyway was a small tavern. She stopped and looked to me. "She must be in there." We walked further into the ally till we got to the front door. A large man stood in the way, blocking the door with his large mascular arms. "Who are you?" He said in a low rumbble. Leone walked closer to him and started to stroke his bicep. "Well my friend and I were wondering if we could just step in for a moment."

The man looked towards me, clearly not impressed. "No, the boss says no one must come in tonight." Leone moved in closer this time pouting and circling her finger around his chest. "Not even for little old me?" The man looked at her for a moment then down to her large plump breasts. "No." She said truning away as blood trickled down from his nose. "Well too bad, you actually were kinda cute." Leone extened her claws and punched her hand into the mans chest. He let out a blood curdinling grunt as she ripped out his heart. The large mans heavy body hit the floor and she dragged it behind a bunch of crates. "Now how do we get in, it's not like we can walk through the front door." She asked. I looked around, trying to find another way in, however there were none. "We might have to go in guns blazing." I sadistic smile spread across Leone's face. "I'd hoped you would say that.
