On the travel home in the wagon, it was the afternoon when they started heading back, Y/N, Mercy and Elizabeth were all sat in the back. Mercy was to the left of Y/N and Elizabeth was to the right, leaving him stuck in the middle. Mercy was nuzzled up next to Y/N as she was still drunk and he was talking to Elizabeth.
"So, about the training I am going to be giving you. How good would you say you are? And what weapons are you more familiar with?" Y/N asked Elizabeth with a chuckle. "Oh, and are you better than me? Cause if you are, that's an offense!" He said jokingly as he was trying to show off a bit.
Elizabeth smirked and raised an eyebrow at Y/N. "Oh, haha! Is that so?" She said in a challenging tone as she giggled a little.
Mercy thought to herself a little. She wasn't completely drunk now, just a little so that she knew what was going on. She then came up with a cruel idea to put Y/N on the spot. Mercy lay down on the bench, resting her head on Y/N's lap. After a bit, she felt like it was the right time to start the plan. "~Y/N...you're so good at this, keep going~" Mercy moaned in a whisper like tone.
Y/N's face turned bright red as he had just heard what came out of Mercy's mouth. "Uh..I-I'm sorry about that-" He said to Elizabeth with a stutter as he felt embarrassed by the situation.
Elizabeth looked down at Mercy with wide eyes. She then looked back up at Y/N and giggled awkwardly. "Oh, it's okay..no need to apologise. People..tend to mumble random things in their sleep." Elizabeth said, trying to believe that what Mercy said never actually happened.
Mercy moved a little so that her hand was on Y/N's knee. "~Mm, it's so big. I love it~" She moaned again in a seductive way, but this time it was louder. Mercy was a very good actress and so she made it sound very believable.
Y/N gulped and looked around nervously with his hands in his lap. He felt Mercy put her hand on his knee and he froze a little, feeling uncomfortable. "I- This..never happened. I don't know what's going on here-" Y/N said to Elizabeth again as he then tried to move up so that Mercy wasn't touching his leg anymore.
Other wagons and people on horses were riding by them and they could hear every word coming from their wagon. People were turning heads, giving them confused and dirty looks. One wagon rode by and the driver turned his head and yelled, "GET A ROOM!" as he couldn't see what was going on.
Elizabeth heard the guy going by and looked out the back of the wagon to see him. She scoffed and then looked back at Y/N. "Should we...wake her? I mean...I don't want you to get harassed anymore.." Elizabeth suggested to him as she shrugged her shoulders a little.
Y/N sighed a little as he then looked at Elizabeth, giving her s light nod. "Y-Yeah..give me a second.." He said before then shaking Mercy lightly, trying to wake her up.
As Mercy 'woke up from her sleep', she looked up at Y/N and then hugged his arm with a small smirk on her face. "~Oh heeyy Y/N, I was just having a dream about that night on the way to the store house~" She said lustfully as she then gave Elizabeth a cold glare.
Elizabeth looked at the two as she was very confused and felt awkward. "I...didn't need to know that.." She said, kind of believing it due to Mercy's good acting skills. Elizabeth then looked at Y/N with a look that said 'is this true?' and a look of innocence.
Still having a tomato red face, Y/N looked down at Mercy and then back at Elizabeth. "I- that never happened! I swear on my life, that didn't happen!" He blurted out as he went into a state of slight panic from feeling humiliated.
Mercy chuffed a little as she then sat up and then took Y/N's hand into her own. "Don't be silly, Y/N!" She giggled as she then looked at Elizabeth. "He's just shy! Things got a little heated that night in the wagon." Mercy told her slyly.
Elizabeth looked down at Mercy holding Y/N's hand, staying quiet for a minute before them looking back up at Y/N. "O-Okay..I get it..you don't have to explain your relationship, if one, to me.." She told Mercy, not really knowing what to believe now but she was a little heartbroken as she seemed to really like Y/N as she was saved by him.
Y/N coughed slightly as he then let go of Mercy's hand. He got slightly overwhelmed by the situation. "Mercy stop! Look, we never 'got it on' that night in the wagon. Heck, we weren't even in the wagon. We were outside!" He then looked at Elizabeth, knowing that he liked her. "I- have my eye on someone else Mercy..i'm sorry. You're a great friend, but I don't like you that way.." Y/N told Mercy as he looked back at her.
Mercy had a look of defeat spread across her face. She knew that Y/N had said they were friends, but she really wanted them to be more. Mercy stayed silent, not saying a single word as she then turned her back to the two and huffed, folding her arms in a sulk.
Elizabeth looked at Y/N as she heard him talking to Mercy. She had a happier expression on her face as she thought he was talking about her, but she didn't want to get her hopes up and so just kept it quiet for now. "Wow, I didn't think you had that in you Y/N. Although I..haven't really known you for that long.." Elizabeth said to him, kind of impressed as she gave him a kind smile.
Y/N sighed quietly as he then looked back at Elizabeth with a smile and a looked of relief. "Th-Thanks Elizabeth..I've never been that stern with Mercy before, but she just has to understand that I like someone else.." He told her, not really caring that Mercy was near him when he said that. Y/N felt that he should be more honest and weary with Mercy so that this never happened again.
After about 2-3 hours of driving, it was dark out when they arrived back, Apollyon and her army then arrived back at the Shard and everyone began to jump off of the wagon and head back to their rooms after sorting out all of their supplies. Y/N and Elizabeth got off of the wagon together as they were talking about training and stuff.
Y/N chuckled. "Haha! I highly doubt you'll be better than me at fighting!" He said to her as he was in doubt because he liked to joke around and say that he was the best fighter, even though there were better fighters in the group.
Elizabeth folded her arms confidently as she gave Y/N a side glance and a small chuff. "Is that so, Y/N? I find that hard to believe." She said with a smirk as they began to head inside.
Mercy got off of the wagon by herself, still having a tantrum about what happened on the ride home. She then stormed to her room, barging past Y/N and Elizabeth on her way there.
Y/N and Elizabeth stumbled a little as they were shoved out of the way by Mercy. They then both looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders with a chuckle to each other. They walked into the Shard and Y/N lead Elizabeth up to his room.
"I was thinking..since you don't have a room here, you could..share mine? I could sleep on the floor as I have a sleeping bag and you can have my bed?" Y/N suggested to Elizabeth as he held the door open, to his room, for her.
Elizabeth let out a sweet and innocent giggle as she walked into his room, thanking him. "Oh, okay. I wouldn't mind that..but are you sure you don't want me to sleep on the floor?" She asked Y/N nicely as she then sat on his bed.
Y/N shook his head as he then closed the door behind him. "No, I'm okay with sleeping on the floor. I tend to fall of my bed anyways, haha!" He chuckled as she began to set his sleeping back up on the floor.
Elizabeth smiled at him as she helped him a little with setting the sleeping bag up. "Okay, thank you. That's really..sweet of you.." She said in a soft tone to him.
The two then got ready to go to bed and layed down on their beds. Saying goodnight to each other, Elizabeth then blew the candle out and they both went to sleep.
