Innocent love [Silver x Reader]

Chapter 7: Toxic Side

When waking up every morning a small side talk will appear. Then the rest of the day would be silent. Mephiles would kiss the female a couple of times and gentle hug her as he give a small reassurance. The smallest affection he could give was a muzzle to muzzle contact. Then he would be gone until tomorrow or late at night.

"Mephiles?" Asked the female.

"Yeah?" Would respond Mephiles

"Do you really love me?"

"I don't give much affection because I am afraid to open up to others. The world is harsh and I don't want to let my guard down that easily." Would be the response.

Mephiles wasn't just confused of what he was, we was just a recreation of a evil artifact to destroy the world. All against him for the different thing he was.

"Mephiles?" Asked the female before getting a response.

"It's futile my dear," is what he would tell her.

"The world will betray you. Why fight at all? Why risk your life for those who will persecute you later?" Were the words that just keep repeating.

Mephiles as depression could be hidden in a villain and use it against others. How can someone just hide a harsh desire from a sweet yet pure soul.

"Mephile please,"

"It's useless, the world works like that. Everyone is always the sa—" and the conversation would end until one cries.

Y/n would cry until she felt the arms of the one who's supposed to protect her. The one who was supposed to give her the same amount of love as she had given. The one that was supposed to be a lover.

"Don't leave me please,"

We're the words that they would discuss as guilt would fill her up with just leaving a person with no help. How could something to innocent hurt so badly?

"I'll never leave you," she said as they would kiss and let the night take over.

The love that they wished slowly vanishing as the other would fall down into a darkness with no escape. Love was just a drug that gets you addicted, but always abused in manners for desires.
The other day would pass by and Y/n sees her reflection, she was decent, but have some weight on her. Yet beautiful to not care about the body type.

"I should do a diet, I'm so fat~" she would tease.

"Sure, you want me to help you?" Would reply the other.

"Sure I guess..."

"I have some diet plans if you want," He would say before giving a small little journal.

"I mean a nice 'you're not that fat' would of been okay—"

"I'm a realistic hedgehog, don't eat too much calories," were what his words would be said.

Those were just things that made Y/n want to end it. Yet she wanted to help the other learn to love before anything. A harsh treatment for someone else. Comparing to others and away for a long time, a harsh relationship where no one had to go through. How she only wished a way out of it, but guilt build up on her.

"He can't be that bad, maybe he's just not learning. I just can't straight up hurt him for what he is already suffering with," y/n would tell herself.

A positive attitude slowly draining her to a small dull yet gentle person. How bad a relationship was going from what it's being painted to the world.

"I love you,"

"Me too,"

Those words would slowly not mean anything as they would be abused in a manner that could just cut you through. How was a relationship supposed to last like this?

"Just force yourself, it's okay. Everything will be worth it in the end," y/n ended with before sitting up from bed.

Alone and to the conclusion of forcing a love that was never there. Y/n was conflicted with her first love. A normal love that she wanted that only lead her to having a zero percent of having the love she was giving back to her. It's not about one, but the two of them.

"You'll be fine, you're just overprotective and overreacting like always," she said to herself before cleaning around a bit only to stop.

She began to tear up, how much the relationship was destroying her mentally and physically.

As the return of Mephiles, he sadly would see the other female either busy with someone or be asleep until next morning. He had to get himself a stable job, a job that he wanted to be in only to end up destroying something. Y/n would be sleeping on the bed as he placed his muzzle against her head as it meant a small kiss would be made. It was pure yet innocent. Though sadly his and her actions were just toxic. Having a more strict demand while the other had a huge pride on her own confident self.

"I'll make it up to you one day," he said.

Only to end up being a failure for not completing something so simple as to show his love for her. What both were dealing was toxic as the chemical would soon be at its max.

"Mephiles?" Y/n would ask out for the male as she wanted to get her attention.

"please stay a bit more,"

"I'm sorry dear," He apologized.

"I guess it can't be helped with what I have to deal with, I don't plan you on understanding," he said.

Only did he know that Y/n knew perfectly on what he was dealing with. Being neglected by others only for him to also neglect her. It was a domino affect that would soon follow up to her, if she doesn't get out before it's too late.

As tears filled up on the females eyes by just describing her situation to another person who couldn't do much but just watch. How he wanted to just kill the other, sadly it wasn't his place to act on something the other had to learn, but he couldn't just stay and watch all the time. So he dropped his drink and pulled the female closely to him. Hugging her now fragile body. Y/n's eyes widen as she was shocked, now her eyes quivering voice began to be loud sobs and eyes now filled with tears as Shadow could feel her tears on his own fur.

"Shhh you're safe now," was what he said.

Repeating them as he would slowly let his hand rub her back. Gently and slowly as he knew a relationship would lead to one with a misleading path and vulnerability. Y/n was the girl who would accidentally fall for people, accidentally falling for the wrong ones as well. She was only starting a journey of a rollercoaster that no one prepared her for. No warnings and only hardship of what she would lose.

"Please-Please he...help me,"

She cried as she was confused.

Confused on her relationship, as one person can not simply break up out of nowhere. Especially if one is overthinking too much.
