Royal Pain (Guzma X Reader)

Jelly Beasts

As you traveled the unknown ultra space, you couldn't help but look around at all the pretty holographic crystals that surrounded the area. It was beautiful. For a second, you even forgot about how much danger you were in.

Guzma looked over at you with a side eye glance as he walked. Your eyes were glistening with the reflections of the crystals. He had many things he'd been wanting to say to you and one was to compliment those eyes.

G: "Hey, M-"
"LOOK! THERE!" Lillie whisper-yelled.

The three of you jumped behind a large crystal formation to see several jelly fish things swirling around up ahead. They were circling something like Honchrows swarming a kill.

"What the hell are they doing?"
G: "Bein' terrifying as usual of course."
"I need to get a closer look."

Guzma grabbed your wrist before you stood up completely. You flared at him and snatched your hand away.

G: "Sorry..I uh.." he began scratching the back of his neck. "I don't think that's a good idea."
"Well, we aren't given a whole lot of options. Stay here and watch Lillie. I'll be right back."

Guzma didn't say anything, but he was definitely not ok with you leaving and him being on babysitting duty. You crept closer to where the jelly beasts were swarming. You'd occasionally freeze and grab onto a crystal to hide when you'd hear a beastly shriek. After doing this a couple more times, you'd finally gotten close enough to see what was causing all the commotion.

You saw Lusamine with an unfamiliar man. She was holding onto him in a loving way and seemed unbothered by the beasts surrounding her. The man held onto her tightly and rested his head atop hers. You were very confused.

You began the trek back to Guzma and Lillie when suddenly you are tackled to the ground.

"What the fuck!" You struggled trying to come to your senses to see what was on top of you.

It was Nigel.

N: "You fucking bitch!" He was holding your struggling body down and crushing you with his weight.
"G-*pant*-Get off of me!!!"
N: "How fucking dare you, (your name)! Making me go through all this trouble to find your ass and now causing me to get fucking possessed and sent to some weird alien planet!! Fuck you, (your name)! Fuck you!"
"I didn't *pant struggle* ask for you to come find me!" You tried to lift his arms but he was stronger than the last time you'd saw him.
"YOUR fucking parents paid me to come get you!"
"Wh-what??" You stopped struggling.
"Doesn't matter now! We are going to die here! But I'm going kill you first!"

He grabbed your neck with both hands and started to squeeze. You came back to your defensive senses and tried to pry his hands off of you. You were starting to fade out when *SMACK* Nigel got knocked out.

G: "You got knocked the fuck out yo!" Guzma mocked over Nigel's unconscious body.

You gasped for air and massaged your neck where Nigel had been squeezing.

G: "Oh shit, right, are you ok Maisie?" He offered you a hand up.
"Why...why did you do that?" You accepted his offer to help you stand.
"The fuck you mean why did I do that? Cuz I'm not just going to let some asswhipe kill a defenseless girl! That's why." He had an attitude.
"I'm NOT some little girl, but....thank you."
G: "Tch. Lillie is waiting for you."

You never would've thought you'd be thanking someone like Guzma for anything. The things he did to you...forced you to do...they were terrible. He was terrible. But it has you thinking, 'Was that even him?'

You and Guzma made it back to Lillie. She was so thrilled that both of you were still alive. More excited about you than Guzma of course.

L: "What happened?! What did you see?"
"I saw...I saw your mom."
L: "My mom?"
"She was with some man. He was kind of heavier set and had blonde hair."
L: "Dad..."

Lillie looked to the ground with her head hung low. No one said anything for a moment to allow Lillie to decide when to continue.

L: "You see...my mom and dad were wonderful researchers that specialized in ultra space and ultra beasts. About 7 years ago, they were trying to open up a wormhole...things went bad and...my dad lost his life."
"Lillie..I'm so so sorry."
L: "I was young, but my mother...she-she didn't handle it very well. She started to become obsessed with the idea of finishing what her and my dad started. She neglected my brother and I in terms of providing love and care. She only loved ultra beasts. Whatever that thing is with my mom is NOT my dad.  We have to help her, Maisie!"
G: "Yeah uhhh, not to ruin the moment, but how are we 'spose to do that exactly?"
L: "We need Nebby."
