We're Not in Love (soul x reader) |Discontinued|

You're Mad

"Good night." Soul said leaving the hospital.

"Lord death?" You called out.
"Yep, yep, yep!!!" He shouted through the small portable device.

"Is anyone with you who can hear me talking?" You asked.

"Nope!" He said.

"Ok, I have a couple of questions." You mumbled.

"I might to able to answer them, and I may not." He said.

"Ok.... First, me and my dad had been talk when we discovered my fractured rib and torn lung, he said he hated his personality.... Does my dad have himself?" You asked.

"Um, that's hard to explain. Everyone hates themselves sometimes, it's amplified for your dad and yourself because of the effects of the madness.... Does that answer your question?" He asked.

"Yeah, thanks. Secondly, it's about the students, what is class Crescent moon doing? My dad keeps telling me not to worry about it but I need to keep up with school." You asked.

"Nothing really, your dad can't teach, anxiety is getting to him because he's worried about you. You and your father have always been similar." He smiled. "Sid hasn't been teaching big lessons, just reviewing."

"Thanks and last of all, it's mostly about the kids who have been visiting me.... I hate to ask this but can you track their behavior, or at least have Sid try and put them at ease a little more? I just know that I'm recovering quickly and I feel better already, I need their spirits to be kept high so they aren't attacked by the madness." You said.

"We've already been doing that, we have symptoms of every student in the school if anything is wrong, right now soul is taking care of his own problem by visiting you." He said. "So don't worry too much, you are also a human, you and your dad seem to forget that." He laughed. "Get some sleep ok?"

"Ok." You shut off the speaker and laid down. But you couldn't sleep.... Demons laced your head and it felt as though you were being watched. So you just laid there.... And something unexpected happened.

At about 4:00 am your door creaked open. You sat up in fear it was your dad. His eyes were filled with what looked like fear. "I'm happy to see you feel the eeriness too...."

"You scared me.... Did you know I was awake?" You asked.

"The monitor is with soul, he's more paranoid about your health than I am, I just got creeped out by the feeling of-"

"Someone watching you?" You asked. "Yeah, I went to lay down and it felt like someone was just standing there looking at me."

"Wanna talk about it since I doubt either of us are getting sleep?" He asked.

"....yeah." you gave a soft smile.

At about 6:00 am your dad was asleep, you had pretended to sleep so he'd get some. You connected your heart rate trackers to him and then detached the tubes flowing into you. You got dressed in some normal clothes and walked around the room a bit. You reached for the doorknob to the balcony when the door to your room opened. It was just soul and the nurse luckily.

"Uhh..." The nurse was confused. "I'm pretty sure that's not allowed but if your able to stand?" She shrugged. "How are you able to stand?" She asked.

You looked at her and averted your eyes. You rolled up your shirt just enough to show you had implanted your own stitches.

"Again?! Are you serious?!" She asked. "You are relentless!!"

"......" You turned your eyes to the device which was in soul's hand.

"A-" he quickly moved his arm behind his back. You whirled around back to the balcony door. Opening it to feel the fresh air. It felt so much better than the stuffy hospital room. You took a couple steps so you were at the balcony's edge. You peered over the railing into the smoggy town of death city. "What's wrong?"

"I didn't tell my dad, I didn't want him to worry, we both felt like someone was watching us last night.... But I'm pretty sure azura was looking at me from somewhere in the world." You muttered.

"The kishen?" He asked.

"Yeah... I mean I'm struggling with madness, he needs more people to use as pawns against death..... Why wouldn't he pick off the weak minded?" You shrugged.

"You're not weak minded!! You're so smart and brave!!" He objected. "If you think like that you're just gonna let him get under your skin! It's not good to admit defeat before the battles begun!"

"....it's not my battle to fight. Right now I'm at middle grounds between Lord death and azura, my mind is conflicted... But at least Medusa left." You shrugged.

"You can still fight madness, you still have a part in the fight whether you wanted to be part of the fight or not." He yawned.

"I'm fully healed already.... It's only been a weak and two days... The nurse's think my stitches are a nuisance, but they've helped a lot." You smiled. "It's just easier for me to heal like this!!"

"I get it." He sighed.

".....do you feel like we've grown distant as well?" You asked. "Ever since I've been struggling with madness and sickness... I feel like we've grown apart from each other."

"Meh." Soul said. "You're mad."
