Naib x Reader: Mercenary for hire

Surviving in the manor wasn't easy. Somehow you would always find yourself chaired first thing and relying on your teammates to come to the rescue. This would often fail however since even if you had tide turner you would always find yourself back on the rocket chair zooming back to the manor.

"Oh ho ho! Back from the match ALREADY (Y/N)?" Kreacher Pierson greeted you with a laugh, kicking his feet up onto the dining room table and receiving a disappointed glance from the priestess. "Do not fret child, I have prayed that your next match will be a success." she gives you a hopeful smile but you know better than to trust any of her 'prayers'. "Better keep on praying then!" Kreacher scoffed.

Exhausted from your match and not wanting to hear Kreacher's sicking voice or the priestess's beliefs anymore, you take the stairs up to your room. Closing the door you sink down onto your knees. "If I don't stop getting downed first soon no one will want to match with me... Just terror shocked my life already!" you shout and hit your fist on the ground.

"Ow... What the-"

A familiar brown notebook had fallen on your head, breaking you out of your train of thoughts. Everyone in the manor had the same book; it gave detailed descriptions and abilities of all the residents as well as the hunters. The book had opened to a page that you haven't seen before. It was a picture of a man wearing some sort of hoodie under the picture had a name;

Naib Subedar - Mercenary.

A talented survivor, with the ability to-

...

"This must be it."

After asking around, you were able to locate the mercenary's room. You give a brief knock on the door and wait for someone to answer. From what you gathered this Naib guy was famous in the manor. Apparently he was one of the first people living in the manor and formed a legendary group with the mechanic, seer and forward that has a win streak of almost 89%.

A couple mins past and still no reply so you knock again. "Hey friend!" footsteps approached you and in place was a girl wearing an orange jumpsuit carrying various metal bits in her arms. "If you're looking for the grump he's usually not in his room. I think... I saw him in the garden earlier but I don't know if he is still there. Maybe he will be there if you go now... AH! Sorry I have to go now I promised Luca I would build with him today, sorry gotta run!"

With that the blonde girl ran out of your sight leaving you with one thought on your mind "I have to get to the garden.

...

Stepping into the garden the door quietly shuts behind you. After a few quick glances at the interior you slowly begin to walk inwards looking for the so-called 'mercenary'.

"Wah!"

Not looking where you were walking you suddenly found yourself hitting something warm.

"Hey... As much as I wouldn't mind being in this situation right now, you are kinda crushing my ribs."

Quickly realizing that the floor of the garden wasn't meant to be warm or talking for that matter you hastily roll off of your victim. "I'm sorry! I'm very sorry I didn't see you there!"

"Yep I could tell." He says dryly while sitting up and cracking his neck. "So do you like to fall on people while they sleep or...?"

"No I was just looking for..." pausing, you take a look at the stranger's face, he's even wearing the same hood from the picture, "Are you the mercenary?". The man studies your face before standing up, "The name's Naib, you must be fairly new around the manor if you have to ask me that." The man extends his arm out to you and you take it. "I'm (Y/N)."
