Meta Knight x Reader One-Shots

Panic Attack

(Quick Author's Note for a potential trigger warning- From what you can probably tell from the title, Reader literally has a panic attack. Wanted to note it at the beginning because I would hate for this to accidentally give someone a panic attack. Alright, that's out of the way. Enjoy!)

Boom!

You heard a loud bang outside the room. Your eyes jolted towards the door.

A boisterous laugh sounded, followed by a cackle. Dedede and Escargoon.

Crash!

The sound of glass shattering.

You felt your heartbeat quicken. Shakily, you got to your feet and made your way to the door. As you were about to open it, there was a knock on the other side, which caused your already tensed body to jump, and a soft squeak to leave you.

"(Y/n), it's me," a familiar voice spoke from the other side.

You breathe a sigh of relief. Meta Knight.

You open the door and are greeted with Meta Knight's yellow eyes meeting yours.

"Sir Meta Knight, what are you doing here?"

"Checking up on you. You heard the loud noises, too?" He asks.

"Yeah, I was actually about to go see what it was. It, well, it has me worried," you admit.

"As it does me," Meta Knight answers. "Though I know Dedede is behind this, I don't know what he's up to," he turns back to you, extending a hand. "Would you like to join me, my dear?"

You blushed at his 'dear,' but placed your hand in his nonetheless. He notices.

"No need to be shy, (Y/n). We are dating now, afterall."

The mention of this only made your cheeks grow darker.

"I know, it's just," you started as the two of you began to walk together, "It feels nice when you call me that."

"Dear?"

"Yeah," you smile.

"Well then I'll make sure to do it often, my dear," one of his eyes, currently a pink shade, winks at you behind his mask. Your cheeks matched the color of his eyes as you quickly averted your gaze.

BOOM!

The commotion sounded closer, and Meta Knight instinctively jumped between you and the direction it came from. His hand gripped the hilt of his sword.

"It came from the throne room," He said.

Your legs suddenly felt a bit shaky. But you followed after Meta Knight as he led the way.

You opened the doors of the throne room, and as you did, something fired towards you. Meta Knight pushed the two of you down just in time as the projectile whooshed overhead. A second later the deafening sound of the cannon hit you, a loud rumble that reverberated through your chest. And then the bright light from the flash. All of it culminated into one big overstimulated nightmare.

"Meta Knight, what in the world are you doing!?" A shout from Dedede.

Your heart was pounding.

"Yeah, you shouldn't get in the way when we're trying out new weapons!" Escargoon's yelling echoed through your skull.

You couldn't control your breathing. You shouldn't be breathing this heavily.

"Sire, with all due respect, the castle doesn't make for a very good shooting range," Meta Knight.
