The Escapists

;Difficult;

And with that, the three of them walked in the opposite direction. Susie skipped through the woods like a child about to get candy. (Y/N) followed close behind, wondering if her friendship with a certain leader was still existent.

She knew those thoughts didn't do her any good and the only way to experience clarity was to simply talk to the other individual. Was she going to do so? And risk humiliation? Haha... No.

Frank, on the other hand, shuffled farther away from them, not really quite there with the two girls mentally. The young girl couldn't help but steal glances his way every so often. Could anyone really blame her?

She never noticed just how attractive he was, you know, nobody would if they were in her situation. She saw another killer at first and nobody studied the appearance of the person who chased them. But even as a friend that thought never crossed her mind. There was always something about him that she found quite appealing, however, it usually was something from the mental or emotional side.

„So... you decided to come back, huh?“, his voice alone was a subject of its own; one she really appreciated too.

„Uh, yeah.“

„Of course she returned, dumbass! What did I say?“, Susie interfered. Oh how (Y/N) dreaded having this conversation. Especially since she couldn't get herself to concentrate on the important things, like for example ESCAPING? No, as expected her brain prioritized her stupid crush on the Legion leader.

„Well, what brought this delightful change of her heart?“

Oh boy.

Her heart made all kinds of changes through the few days she has known the Legion on a personal level. How was she supposed to know what it decided to feel?

Did she expect to fall for someone who wanted to stab her at first? Well, you see, NO. But here she was, walking next to him and only fantasizing about things she probably shouldn't.

But was it her fault? Ha, of course not if he sounded so fucking cool when he was being sarcastic. That deep tone of his voice didn't just send shivers down her spine, no, those were wAvEs.

„I already said that nothing of it was meant for you, so stop being so bitchy about it!“, Susie really knew how to help her out. Honestly, (Y/N) didn't know how she was supposed to have a normal dialog with him with all that was going on right now.

Her mother coming back into her life despite (Y/N) cutting her off a long time ago, her heart stabbing her in the back repeatedly. Maybe it just wanted to escape her body to not deal with any complicated feelings.

„I wasn't talking to you“, he glared at his friend's back before returning his sharp gaze towards (Y/N).

Holy shit...

Her temperature increased rapidly, making her sweat although the air was still cold. God, she was bright red, wasn't she?

Could he stop looking at her like that? This wasn't the time to imagine weird things but he made it really difficult not to.
