"Always."
Jolyne...she's been missing for the past few days, and nobody has the slightest idea where she could've gone. For Y/N, it has been a very devastating past few days, for Jolyne was one of her good friends. Everyday, she would hope the police would find her alive. I mean, there's no way she could've been killed...right? She's a very strong woman, so she would hope that if she was targeted and attacked, she fought them off and is hiding.
She lay in her head, thinking about the whole situation. Thinking about how devastated Weather, F.F, Hermes, and Anasui are right at this moment.
As she continued to ponder, she was disturbed by a knock at her front door. "Wonder who that could be.." She got up, walked to the front door and looked through the peephole. It was Hermes. Why is she here? Maybe she wants comforting, they were all really close to Jolyne after all. "Hermes...?" Y/N spoke, opening the door to see Hermes more clear now. She was on the verge of tears, no, not just that. She holding a piece of familiar cloth in her hands as well.
"Hermes? What happened? Hey...that cloth...thats from Jolynes clothing! Why do you have it...?" She questioned, guiding Hermes inside to sit on her bed and let it all out. Hermes just broke down in tears. Y/N started crying as well, feeling like she knows why Hermes was upset. "Hermes...don't tell me it's something about Jolyne."
Hermes turned her head to face Y/N, her skin glistening with tears. "Jolynes body was found in a river this m-morning. They ruled it as a suicide because n-no evidence of a murder was f-f-found..." Hermes buried her face into her palms, staining the cloth she still held with tears. "No way...she would never..." Tears began to fall from Y/Ns eyes, her feeling completely overwhelmed.
"I loved her, Y/N...I was in love with Jolyne." She seemed so deeply hurt, Y/N felt horrible. She felt like she was gonna vomit, she couldn't handle the fact Jolyne was dead. "It's okay, Hermes...it's okay. She's in a better place now, no matter why she did that to herself.." Y/N pulled Hermes to an embrace, petting her head in a calming and motherly-like manner as Hermes cried into Y/Ns chest.
That "incident" happened 6 years ago.
Following the incident, Hermes, F.F, and Weathers lives were taken, all in that order. The only person Y/N had left was Anasui, and he helped her a lot throughout the whole situation. She thought about taking her own life, but Anasui was always there to stop her. Always by her side when she needed him. Always.
"Anasui?" Y/N questions the embrace she woke up in the dead middle of the night feeling. "Yes? How'd you know?" His embrace tightened, silently loving the warmth she gave him. "I know because you're always there when I need you." She smiled, leaning her head into his warm chest, hearing the lovely sound of his heart beating. It was something she loved about Anasui. The fact that his heart was still beating kept her from going crazy. If that heart beat were to disappear, hers would have to as well.
"Im a little cold..." Y/N shivered a little, her only source of warmth being the man she woke up to every night at the same time. "Here." He pulled the blanket up past their shoulders, almost immediately warming the two up. "Better?" He placed his hand on her head, petting it, as she had once done with an old friend. "Yes."
"I love you, Y/N." He spoke softly, "Ill always protect you, no matter what."
Those words made a tear drop from her eye. The last time she knew someone who genuinely cared for her was before Weather had died. "I love you too, Anasui." Her grip on his back tightened as she hugged him, crying herself to sleep with her head in his warm, beating chest.
"Anasui" died 6 years ago. He was never there. Nothing but a figment of her imagination that kept her alive.
