Meta Knight X Reader

Chapter 9: Out Late (Important Text at End)

Such calmness 😂
Oh hey look it's my toesies.
I'm listening to I Wont Say I'm In Love and it's the flipping best 😂
Yeah it's the one from Hercules.
Sue me.

(Y/n) pov:

Mr and Ms Blustergas invited me over for dinner, the whole town came over to congratulate me on giving the king a butt whooping. Apparently they hate him as much as the Ebrums.
After eating all I could, the Ebrums and I started back to the castle, avoiding any Waddle Dees.
"You can sleep on the couch if you want (Y/n), or you're welcome to share my room! I've got an extra blanket." Tiff said, apparently forgetting the conflict we had earlier.
"Oh- I don't want to impose-" I started.
"Nonsense dear! You're staying with us!" Lady Like said.
I sighed and followed them through the castle and into their house.
"I'll just take the couch" I sat down. I really don't wanna bother anyone.
Once everyone had settled into their own rooms I sat on the couch, watching the sky outside. The same black sky and the same white little dots.
After a few minutes of tossing and turning I decided I wasn't going to get sleep any time soon.
I stood up and slipped out the door.
The castle was quite complex, it was very difficult to find my way around, I eventually reached a little door that led to a small cliff, only a few feet around.
I sat on the cliff, my feet hanging over the edge, listening to the slow river that surrounded the castle.
"Evening." Someone said behind me.
I jumped and turned around, it was Meta Knight.
"Ah... hello.." I sighed. He quietly came at sat down next to me, not saying a word. I don't think he's the terrorist the radio mentioned, him and Kirby don't seem the type to blow up a civilization of people.
We sat there for a while before he said "Good job today. The king isn't exactly... popular. The cappys have been wanting karma for a while. Lots of confusing history."
"Really? I think he's a wonderful guy." I joked. He laughed.
"You should've seen him during the war. Always terrorizing everyone." He said.
"The war?"
"There was once a very powerful being, NME, he supplied the king with monsters. The other Star Warriors does our trying to battle them all, Kirby was able to defeat him. It's a long story, maybe Tiff could tell you, you two seem to be getting along." He told me.
"Y-.. I-... NME?" So he was the horrible terrorist the radio made him out to be! He almost killed my father!
"Night Mare Enterprises. Nasty place." He said.
"Yup... yup that's.. I bet so." I didn't exactly know how to feel about him right now. He blew up a military base, almost killing my father, but then again I didn't really like it there.
"Is something wrong?" He asked me.
"Nope!! Nothing at all..." I didn't want to tell him NME is not in fact dead, and he was sitting right next to his daughter.
"You're pretty good at fighting. Maybe we should duel some time?" He asked.
I turned to him.
"Wait... what?" I turned to him. I'm not going to fight this guy, by the looks of it, he'd crush me.
"Id like to see how skilled you are." He said.
"I mean- I guess so? You're not going to kill me right?" I was hesitant.
"Of course not!" He laughed.
"How about tomorrow?" He said.
"Sure." I replied. I don't really want too, I'm kind of scrawny and this guys got a full suit of armor but it'd make things more awkward if I say no.
"I think I'm going to get some sleep..." I stood up and turned to go inside.

The next morning
___

I woke up on the Ebrums couch, my hair looking like a bush. I sat up and looked around. Tiff was on the couch reading, Sir Ebrum was reading a newspaper at the kitchen table and Lady Like was making breakfast.
"Morning (Y/n)!" Tuff said from behind the tv.
"Morning..." mmm I tried combing through my hair.
"So Meta Knight asked me to duel him last night." I casually informed the family.
They all stopped, Lady Like dropped her spatula and Tiff gasped.
"What? Ok I went for a walk last night!" I defensively said.
"Why does he always do that!" Tiff shouted, getting angry.
"Do what??" I asked, very confused.
"When Kirby first came to dreamland, Meta Knight made Kirby duel him too!" Tuff shouted, turning the tv up.
"Yeah, Kirby almost died!! If it wasn't for me and Tuff carrying him away!" She put her book down.
"But he said he wasn't going to kill me!" Did he lie to me? I swear if he lied to me.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that, I wouldn't go if I were you!" Tiff said, tutting.
"Well- I mean I already told him I would... later today. It's too late I'm doing this." I sighed. How encouraging these people are.
"We should get you something better to wear, at least a heavy coat... not that it'll do any good..." Tuff said.
Are these people always this negative??
"I have an old leather coat! I used to wear it when I was your age!" Sir Ebrum stood up.
"Oh yes! I remember that! Back in the day black leather coats were the thing!" Lady Like laughed, resuming her cooking.
Great I'm going to go out to fight a weirdo with an accent in a Punk leather coat- then have my ass handed to me.
"So I guess I'll head out... uh- nice knowing you guys!" A comment to which I received no laughter.
"See ya at lunch." Tiff glared at me, solemnly.
"We'll be watching from the TV!!" Tuff said, not taking his eyes from the show "Dedede Man".

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Ima cut to the chase here so y'all don't get bored and leave.
This book was my first Fanfic and I've made several more (as practice) on separate accounts and they've gotten a great deal better.
I wanna stop this fanfic and start a new one. This story's wonk, the characters fluctuate, and the plots wack.
I've gotten lots more experience and I think starting a new one'll make it a lot better.
So I mean if I start a new one, it'll be loads better, it'll have a better plot, the characters will be better developed and more like the show, it won't be CRINGE (actually I can't promise that 😂).
Please comment your opinions- I am swaying more towards starting new though.
