Maven X Reader One Shots (2)

Songfic: I Never Told You What I Do For A Living

(My mans and I confirmed together that we are technically friends with benefits and yikes. But anyways my mans said this song reminded him of me so now we're playing this game

Mariella is an actual character I didn't make her up btw)

Stay out of the light

Or the photograph that I gave you

The moonlight reflected against the lens of your camera right when it shuttered. The picture of Maven come out wrong, the incorrect glare covered his face and neck. You kept the picture anyways. 

And when you were a nuisance, Elane would always hide it from you. Her being the older sibling, she can always find a way into your room and out without you noticing. 

You remember screaming at her one day as she threatened to throw it in the fire. 

It was your most prized possession.

You can say a prayer if you need to

Or just get in line and I'll grieve you

And you watch from the television screen as Maven was crowned as king. Your heart dropped at the sight. He glances at the camera for a second, and it feels like he's staring directly at you. Elane looks down at you as her red lips curl into a smile. 

"He promised, didn't he?" 

You tilt your head down and refused to look at anything other than the floor. Your brain brings up the memory so clearly. Him hugging you, his chin resting on your shoulder. You believed everything he said. Maybe that was your fault.

"Yes. I suppose he did."

Can I meet you, alone?

Another night and I'll see you

Elane grabbed your hand, dragging you through the crowd of Silvers. You can do nothing but follow her with your pulse quickening once you see who's she's heading close to. Maven looks your way, and quickly, you dig your nails into your sister's skin. She pauses and it's enough for you to break away from her grasp and turn yourself invisible. 

Not tonight. 

Your body reminds you of the feeling of his lips and you almost turn around. No, you remind yourself. You don't want to return to him until you can protect him. All you want to do is protect him. 

Another night and I'll be you

Some other way to continue to hide my face

And during the party you cower in the corner, watching all of the people. You eye Evangeline closer than you ever have before. How can she marry a man? Nevertheless your man.

You cross your arms. You just need to show your strength and she'll cower away, won't she? She'll give you mercy and Maven will show you praise.

Your sister, Mariella, approaches you with a drink in her hand. And she stares at where you're staring before leaning close to you.

"Two more people, (Y/N). But I wouldn't attempt that one."

Another knife in my hand

Your invisible hands wrap around one of the sentinel's throats, and you bring them to their knees. You try not to enjoy the sound of them trying to get air, the cute noises their crushed esophagus makes. Mariella smiles and walks into Samson's room, closing the door before winking at you.

Clean me off, I'm so dirty, babe

You just wish for Maven's hands around you again. If only he could cleanse you, save your soul from all the bad deeds you've committed. If he could put his hands on your waist and hold you against him then it would just make everything better.
