24: the mirror of truth

Yuno grabbed a hold of the h/c haired female's robe. "Stay close. I don't like this."

The two remained glued to each other as they tried to navigate their way through the fog. Yuno's frustration started to grow, because now Y/n was dragged into it. He wished she just stayed back at the hotel.

"Yuno, can I ask you a question?" Y/n asked. Yuno glanced over at her. A light blush dusted her cheeks and she stared down at their intertwined hands. "What do you like about me?"

Now, it was Yuno's turn to blush. "Is now really the time to ask something like that?" He mumbled.

"I'm sorry...I just wanted to know because...someone like you could do better than someone like me."

Yuno stopped walking. He let go of Y/n's hand and cupped her cheek. "Don't think about such nonsense, especially since we're in this situation. There's not another person I want to be with than you. You have your flaws. True. Everyone does. But If I can't accept your flaws, then you don't deserve me."

"You have such a way with words," Y/n teased. Yuno tched and turned his head away to hide the growing blush. She then frowned and stared down at her feet. "But still, my magic is unpredictable at times. It sometimes spirals out of control and I end up hurting others, like I did during the capital attack the other day."

Yuno paused. He turned to Y/n, eyeing her skeptically. "What are you talking about?"

The h/c-ette's eyes widened in surprise before a smirk spread across her faces. "Oh! So she didn't tell you about that."

"Tell me what?"

Y/n chuckled. Her e/c eyes turned a vibrant red before shadows enveloped her body. Yuno jumped back, his grimoire opening in defense. There was a wicked laugh that grew more ominous.  It attacked, swinging its vine like appendage at him. Yuno quickly flew out of reach.

"Wind magic: Kamaitachi's crescent!" The slashes of wind went through the shadowy creature. It screeched threateningly before taking off in the opposite direction. Yuno pursued after it.

"It's not attacking me back..." Yuno thought as he sent another barrage of wind spells towards the creature. "Is it leading me somewhere...?" He followed the being down another street as it took a sharp turn. The thick fog nearly made him lose sight of it and jumbled his senses. It's faint mana was almost undetectable.

"You didn't think I would find out?" Someone asked. Yuno paused.

"Find what?" A female whimpered. She gasped like she were in pain.

"Y/n...." Yuno questioned before walking deeper into the fog. He looked around searching desperately for his lover.

"What happened in the capital yesterday. How you almost killed everyone because you have shitty control over your powers. Nothing has changed and you can't deny it."

The capital attack? Y/n didn't mention anything about it. When he came to after fighting Catherine, he had been informed that he went to visit her friend Nala's family. He didn't think nothing about it since they were apart of the same squad.

"You act like you have everything under control, but in reality, you're scared. You're scared of what I can do. You're scared of what you can do. You're scared of your powers that you and everyone else know remotely nothing about."

"Shut up!" Y/n snapped. There was a sudden spike in mana. Yuno braced himself as the fog around him blew away at the sudden force. Before him stood Y/n and a copy of her. His eyes widened seeing the mana radiate off of her in uneven waves. The nature of it could make one tremble.
