Tainted love (Blake x MaleReader)

Chapter 1

I met her long ago. She was such a tiny beautiful kitten when I saw her for the first time. She, a Faunus princess, and me... I'm different.

She's the only reason I joined the White Fang. She wanted to change the world, and I wanted to make her dreams come true.

Am I in love? Yes. Truly. Madly. Deeply.

But our story was doomed form the beginning.

--

I feel myself being dragged over the earth.

'Where am I? What is going on?' I ask myself, trying to piece together what happened from my fragmented memories.

I remember entering a small town with my comrades. We were supposed to raid the human settlement for supplies and to sabotage whatever military equipment we found. It was simple, really... so why couldn't I remember us winning?

I hear mumbled words, hands cover my body and suddenly I'm jostled up, causing pain to flare up to a level I didn't know existed. I try opening my eyes, but one of them just won't budge, and everything else hurts so bad that all I want is to close them and die. Anything to dull the pain.

"(Y/N)!" her voice is calling me.

Is it from the other side? Will I see her if I go to heaven? She's not dead, is she?

"(Y/N)!" I hear other voices "Move! Let me see him!"

Someone is prodding my side and arm, but all I can feel is pain. I hide inside my head again, trying to remember what happened. I need to remember... it's important that I do, I just don't know why.

We enter the small village, and suddenly everything goes white.... No, wait. There was something before... it was a sound, wasn't it?

Yes! A sound and a breeze.... No, not a breeze, a gust- a gale of wind! A booming sound followed by wind and white pain.

A grenade.

That was it, a grenade went off in front of me. Two of my comrades blew up in pieces but protected me from the blast. Still, it pushed me back against a tree. Probably hit my head, must be why everything is so fuzzy.

"(Y/N)! Yu- OH MY GOD!!"

I must look a right mess for my angel to scream like that. I open my mouth to try to reassure her that it's nothing some down time in heaven can't fix (hopefully the big guy'll help me out *wink wink*), but I can't get the words out. Instead, I get a mouthfull of tube going all the way into my throat. If my whole world didn't mean pain, I'd probably protest. Something in the lines of 'Excuse me sir/madam, could you please remove the tube going down my throat? It's mighty uncomfortable.'

Instead all I made was a strangled moan.

Pitiful, I know.

I open the eye that I know doesn't hurt, to look around.

I'm surrounded by bright lights and a bunch of people dressed in white . Who'd have guessed there were paparazzies in heaven? Behind the wall of white-dressed cherubs, my black-eared angel is looking at me. Her beautiful face is smeared with tears and one of her hands is stretched in my direction.

I know this'll hurt, but I need to reassure her. I have to.

Bracing for the pain, my right arm rises toward hers.

"(Y/N)!" she pushes off the angels holding her back, and her hand closes around mine.

The pain catches up with my brain at that moment. My whole body convulses, and I feel a switch go off in my head.

--

The next thing I know, I'm surrounded by beeping noises. My body still hurts, but it's duller now. Like background noise instead of a huge speaker going off in front of you at top volume.

'Must have passed out' I mumble, trying to make sense of all that's happened until this moment. I went with my team to raid a village, but it turned out to be a military base. We were expected, we were ambushed. My team was killed. Gunned down, chewed in and spitted out by the machines of war.

How did I survive?

A grenade went off in front of me, the guy in front of me shielded me with his body. My back hit a tree, I lost consciousness? No, I remember the soldiers coming to check on me. They shot me in the arm... they shot me several moretimes.

And then... and then... I don't know. I don't remember anything else until I saw Blake.

Blake? What happened to her? Is she safe?

I grow anxious and open my eyes... eye? Something isn't right. I can't see anything to the left of my nose. Why is that?

Never mind. Find Blake.

I look around and find her sleeping on a coach not far from where I currently lay. Why is she on the coach and me on a bed? What kind of gentlefaunus am I? I try sitting up, but pain flashes up making me groan. The sound startles her awake.

"(Y/N), wha-!" she sees me trying to sit up and practically warps to my side. She places her hands over my shoulders and prevents me from rising. "No, no, no! You mustn't get up!"

I'm too tired to fight her and fall back on the bed "... sorry".

She looks startled, "What are you sorry for?"

My voice doesn't seem to want to form complete sentences. "... -ade... -ry."

"What?" she looks bewildered.

Gathering my strenght, I lift the same hand she held onto before I passed out to brush over one of her cheeks "-ade... -ou... cry"

Oh boy. I think I just made things bad again. Her eyes are tearing up.

Wait... is... is she smiling?

She takes my hand in both of hers and kisses my knuckles "silly."

Well, I've been called worse.

Watching her smile down at me seems like a good ending for my day.
