Jekyll/Hyde X Reader

Defense

3rd person POV

Edward, angry at the sight, jumps down in front of the street. He growls and tries to run at the boys, but is held back by Y/N.

"Edward! You can't hurt children!" Y/N says.

"But Henry and I know how it feels to be defenseless in a beating! I can't just let that happen!" Edward knows he's stronger and that he can just push her off, but he doesn't want to hurt or scare her.

"I know we know Edward but there's another way." Jekyll comes close to him and holds his hand. Edward stops for a moment, but begins to feel a flame build inside him. The longer he looks at the fight, the more it grows. Edward shakily breathes and Jekyll notices. "Edward I know what you're feeling. You have to hold it back. Billy is gone and there's no one to harness that feeling so for everyone's sake hold it back!"

"I-I know Henry... but the feeling.. it's so powerful. Building inside me, it sinks in. It forces it's way into me.. I-I can't take this!" Edward breaks out of both their grasps and runs towards the boys, stopping about 12 feet from them. "HEY" Edward yells, the boys turn around swiftly and look at him.

"What do you want?" One of the boys ask.

"Stop, hurting him."

"And what are you gonna do about it?"

"I suggest you stop, unless, perhaps you want to be torn limb from limb until you apologize. You wouldn't be able to run because I'll start with your legs."

The boys now look a little fearful, "Hey man! We were just having a bit of fun!" Another says.

"Well your fun is over." Edward gets in more of a stern, attacking position, and he snarls again, placing more fear into the boys. When they refuse to move, Edward charges in their direction, scaring them and forcing them to run from the injured child. He chases them away, then huff/growls a few times after they leave. 
Edward slowly feels the evil leaving him again. He looks to Y/N as he stands, a little ashamed of what he let come over him, then remembers what he was saving from those boys. He swiftly turns around and sort of runs to a poor little boy on the ground, exhausted from crying and screaming, but when the boy sees him he tries to get up and back away.

"Shh," Edward says, he gets on his knees to look at the child. "It's okay.. let me introduce myself. I'm Mr. Edward Hyde, and coming this way is my wife, Mrs. Y/N Hyde. Are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine.. It was o-only a few hits th-that's all."

"That's more than a few hits.. Let's get you home safe, where's your family?"

The boy stares at Edward for a moment, then looks away sadly. Edward senses this sadness and sits against a wall a few feet away. "If you won't talk about that then I'll tell you why I saved you. I saved you because I know how it feels to be beaten with no defenses. I lost both of my parents at a young age and only had my brother, though I was fairly naughty then. But now I'm more than every happy to have him."

"You were hurt as a kid?"

"I was. Much actually."

"..." The kid sits next to Edward. "I lost my family not too long ago.. it was only me and my parents and I lost them both. I prefer to not say how.. but I lost them."

"I understand how you feel. You feel alone, sad, maybe as if there's nothing left here for you. But there is, I promise."

Y/N makes her way over and sits in front of Edward. "Hello darling." She says to him.

"Hello my love. This is the one I was telling you about earlier, my wife, Y/N"

"I see." The boy says.

They all talk for a few minutes, until Y/N has a thought. "Hey kid, how about you come live with us for a few days. We have a nice house, plenty of food, a nice bedroom you can use, and we'll go on from there to see what happens. Would you like that?"

The boy thinks for a moment, then nods to her. She smiles and helps the boy up, and Edward gets up and holds his hand to help him walk. "Hey, I never got your name." Edward says.

"Oh, my name is John."
