"Change of Heart"

Comfort

Black walked out and Zamasu immediately asked what he did to you. "She's just in one of the rooms... Don't worry, I didn't harm her..." He walked over to Zamasu, "We're going when the sun rises, which will be in 12 hours. During that time, you will not interact with the girl in any way. You do not speak to her or touch her. The only thing you can do is bring her food and water. Got it?" Zamasu nodded and clenched his fists under the table. "Why do you feel for her, Zamasu? She's a mortal. The things we're getting rid of."

You woke up in an unfamiliar room on the floor. You sat up and saw your hands and legs were tied together. By the legs there was an extra rope that was tied to a heavy dresser. You began to panic and struggle. Tears began to form in your eyes and the back of your neck heated up. You tried not to scream out. You stopped when you noticed something. It was food and water right in front of you. It looked and smelled so good. You felt your stomach growl and it was hurting from not eating all day. You went to grab the food, but it was barely out of your reach. After several minutes, you gave up. It was probably poisoned anyways.

While you sat there, the door opened. You looked up and smiled. Zamasu was at the door. When he noticed you, he put a finger to his lips, giving you the signal to be quiet. He quietly closed the door and locked it. He quickly went over to you.

Zamasu hugged you close and tightly. "Are you okay?" You nodded and responded as your voice quivered, "...Yeah..." He pulled away and put an ice pack over your bruised cheek. "Did he hurt you? What did he do? Tell me what happened." Tears rolled down your cheeks and he wiped them away. "I... It just...It all happened so fast..." Zamasu wiped another tear away and moved your hair from your face. "He... I was just at home, well at a friends house. When I was alone... He just showed up out of nowhere. I tried to get away, but he knocked me out..." "He hit you?" You nodded and Zamasu's expression changed to something that actually scared you.

'I'm gonna kill that bastard in his sleep.'

His thoughts were cut off from a soft hiccup from you. ".....Z... Zamasu..." When you muttered his name, he looked at you, "Are-Are you mad at me?" "No... No... I'm not mad at you... I'll never be mad at you..." He hugged you again, "I'm so sorry you got dragged into all of this... All of this is my fault... I'm such an idiot... And if you hate me after this, I don't blame you... You have every right to hate me... I won't stop you from leaving me..."

You were speechless.

If your hands were free, you'd hug him.

You felt him loosen and he let you go. He sat there and looked at the floor. He couldn't look you in the eye anymore.

"I-I'm Sorry... I jus.. I don't know what to do anymore..."

That was enough. Hearing him saying this is heartbreaking.

You moved close to his face and closed the gap between the both of you. You pressed your lips on his. He didn't react, he just sat there.

When you pulled away, you looked at him. Zamasu's expression didn't change, but his eyes slowly shifted to you. One of his hands slowly reached out and grabbed yours. "...Thank you..." He lifted your hand and kissed it.

He looked back down for a second and then at the food. Zamasu noticed it was too far for you to reach. He slid the plate and the water over to you, "Here, eat as much as you can, I'll be right back-" "No-" His hand quickly covered your mouth, "Shhh, Keep your voice down..." He looked over at the door, waiting if Black heard you. After a long few minutes of waiting, nothing happened. Zamasu looked back at you and lowered his hand. A tear rolled down your cheek as you covered your mouth with your hands. "I'm so sorry, I forgot..." He hugged you close. After a couple deep breaths you continued, "I don't want you to leave... Please don't leave..." He began to rub your back, "Okay, Okay, I won't..." You buried your face in his chest.

Zamasu placed one of his hands behind your head. All the sudden, you felt warm. Very warm. Almost as if you could just relax and fall asleep in Zamasu's arms. Now you're calm. You're not scared anymore. What did he do? You looked up at him, "Z-Zamasu?" He slid the food over to you, "Eat... I have a plan..." "O-Okay..." You did what you were told as Zamasu slowly went to the door and unlocked it. Quietly, he turned the knob and opened it a little bit. Just enough so he can peek out.

He slowly closed the door and locked it. Then he slowly went to the other side of the room and opened the window. You were wondering what in the world he was doing. Has he finally lost it? You downed the water as he walked back to the door and leaned against it.

You stopped eating and waited until Zamasu noticed. He knelt in front of you, "Are you done?" You nodded and he moved the plate to the side. "So... I need you to stay calm and keep quiet. Can you do that?" "I-I think so..." "Hold your hands out and stay very still. Try to separate them as much as you can..." You did that and watched Zamasu raise his hand to the rope. A purple blade formed on his hand and he cut through the ropes.

As soon as you were free, you threw your arms around him. He hugged you back and held you close. Suddenly, you felt one of his arms under your legs and he lifted you up. He began to walk and you looked to see he was taking you to the window. Zamasu opened the window and you hugged him tightly. He noticed your heavy breathing and he looked down at you. He whispered to you and kissed your forehead, "I know you don't like heights. But I need you to calm down." After that, you felt the same thing he did to you earlier to calm you down. Zamasu began to levitate slowly out the window. He flew higher and further away from the cabin. Then he began to fly away and slowly sped up. He would go full speed, but you'll get too scared, probably killed.

After about an hour or two, the both of you reached the city, where the only survivors are. Zamasu gently landed and checked on you. "(Y/N)?" You looked up and he let you on your feet. He moved his hands on your shoulders and gave you his normal, serious look. "Up ahead, a few minutes away, there's an underground subway station, full of survivors. Look for a woman, named Mai. She'll help you. I can't bring you myself because I'm working with Black, or they think I am. If you can't find it, hide somewhere and I'll come find you... Got it?" You nodded while Zamasu wiped your tears. You stepped on the top of his feet and stood on your toes and hugged him. "Y-You smell nice, by the way..." He muttered and you smiled, "I knew you'd notice." You lifted your head and he pulled you into a kiss.

He pulled away and held your cheek and looked straight into your eyes. "I love you..." After so long, after being together for so long, that was the first time Zamasu has ever said that. Deep down, you knew he love you You placed your hand on top of his and held it. You closed your eyes, "I love you too..." His hand slid down your cheek and he slowly began to fly away.
