A Hero's Weakness. (yandere!HeroXVillian!Reader)

Chapter 7: Candles.

  Mark floats to your bedroom window, looking through it, seeing it dark and empty. "Huh..?" His eyes widen slightly, wondering where you went.

  He goes back down to the ground, going to the house's entrance. It was late a night but he saw some lights were on, so he knocks on the door. A few minutes later, the door opens, revealing a woman and her husband.

  "Oh, my!!" The woman gasps. "What brings a hero here?!" "Well, your daughter, of course." Mark gives a kind smile and her eyes widen. "Y/n? Oh, but she's such an antisocial girl. How is it she knows so many handsome boys so suddenly?"

  "Oh?" Mark's smile falls a little. 'So many?' "Where is she?" "Oh, I'm afraid she just moved out..." The mother sighs sadly. "She lives with her friend now?" "Her friend, who?" "Oh, well, you know that huge company? The Ferera company?"

  Mark's eyes darken. "Yes." "She lives with the son of that company, Nicoso!" 'That's... Unexpected. Nico cares for absolutely nobody. What does he want with Y/n?!' Mark thinks, clenching his fists. "Well, ok then." He fakes a believable smile. "I should get going." "Well, alrighty then!"

  Then, the women closes the door and Mark's smile falls instantly. "That fucker... He'll hurt Y/n if I don't save her!"

  "Mh.." You stretch, waking up. 'Hm...? Where am I...?' You look around, seeing a fancy room. It was a white room containing a lot of black and blue things. You assumed it was Nico's room since white, blue, and black where his top favorite colors.

  Especially blue.

  You sit up and yawn. "Good morning." You hear Nico and look at him, seeing him getting out of the room's bathroom with only a towel on. You frown. "Boi, get yo ass some clothes!"

  He chuckles, "Awe, ya don't like my morning surprise~?" He winks and does a pose. "Oh, wow. You think I will fall for handsome good looks? You got the wrong lady, Sir." You roll your eyes then smirk. "Hm, but when did you get into making jokes?"

  Nico blushes slightly and looks away. "I don't know, I just saw you do it a lot and thought it'd be fun..." "Oooh, THE Nicoso having fun?! Wow, now that's a new one!" "S-shut up!" He growls and you giggle. "My, oh, my, this really is a surprise. Now you're embarrassed! You never show anyone your emotions!" "Gah!" He stomps to his closet and opens the door, entering and closing it once he enters.

  You smile, happy to know he was finally having fun. You heard a lot of stories about his family and what they do to him... It was no secret; not anymore at least. You wouldn't blame Nico for the way he acts... If you were tortured for years like he was, you'd probably be a heartless, cold jerk too.

  He finally comes out in his lazy clothes and sighs, looking at you. "Care to shower, Y/n? It'll relax you." "Meh." You lay back down and he walks over, sitting on the edge of the bed next to you. "What do you mean by 'meh'?" "Too lazy to." "Well, we have a jacuzzi tub in there..." He mumbles and you think. "That would feel nice, but-" "Here, I'll make it for you. I know the best hot bath you need." He gets up and you sigh, watching as he went back into his bathroom, closing the door.

  "Ok... Guess I'm gonna have to shower..." You mumble and Nico's maid walks in, bowing towards you. "Hello, Ms. L/n." "Hey." You wave at her, which confused her but she pushes it aside. "Your room is right next to the master's room to the left if you'd like to get some clothes for a nice shower." "Ah, yes." You get off the bed and stretch some more.

  "Thank you." You smile at the maid and leave the room to get some clothes.

  Meanwhile, Nico comes back out. "Alright, Y/n, it's-" He stops, seeing the bed was empty and his maid was fixing it. "She went to get clothes." She looks at him and he nods, understanding. "Ok, well come here. You're a girl so I want your opinion on this." "Oh?" She stops and looks at Nico. "Come on, hurry." He frowns and she rushes over, entering the bathroom while he does the same.

  She looks around, seeing the lights were a off and there were scented candles and petals everywhere. She glances at Nico, who was a blushing mess, looking down. Afterwards, she looks at the big tub to her left, seeing petals and stuff around it. "Cliché." She speaks and looks at Nico. "You normally don't do that type of stuff. What have you been reading lately?" The maid puts her hands on her side, waiting for an answer.

  Nico awkwardly clears his throat. "H-how to treat a lady..." He mumbles and the maid sighs, shaking her head in disappointment. "Valentine's Day edition or something?" "I-I, uh... I don't know..."

  Marianne sighs once again. "Master, I'll have you know, Y/n is not the type of girl who loved to be.. Um... Taken care of like this..." She glances at the petals and candles. "Sure, girls would love this stuff, it's adorable and such, but," "But...?" "It's not the right choice if you're trying to get Y/n to love you." She looks at Nico and Nico quietly curses himself. 'Fuck!' He growls. 'Of course it isn't, you damn idiot!!' He hits his forehead. 'Y/n's not like everyone else!! She literally got awkward when I said I was fascinated by her! Most girls would love that! The accidental kiss was nothing to her either! She literally brushed it off!'

  "Um, is everything ok?" They both hear your voice and quickly turn around. You could have sworn Nico's skin turned even more pale than how it was... He looked like a corpse!

  "U-uh, nothing! It's... Um, yeah," He clears his throat, trying not to sound panicky. "Everything's fine, I just actually broke something that needs to be fixed, so I'll have you re-" "Well, that's ok!" You smile. "I've learned to fix things over the years because my mother always broke something!" You move him aside and enter the bathroom, looking around.

  "What the fuck?" You frown and Nico flinches. 'Damn, Marianne was right... She hates it...'

  You look at Nico. "What is all this?" "I-I, uh... Bathe in style." He looks away and you giggle, "Really? My gosh, all this was your doings from before?" "Yes.." He turns on the light and shuts off the candles.

  "Wait!" You stop him from blowing out the last one. "I like the scent, keep this one..." You mumble and he looks at you. "Pumpkin spice?"

  You nod your head, "Ya know... If you were going for a romantic themed shower, pumpkin spice isn't really the ideal scent, but... I like it." You look at the beautiful candle.

  Nico smiles slightly. "It's my favorite scent too." You look at him, seeing the smile which causes you to smile. 'Yeah, I'm gonna need to get used to that smile now that I'm here.'
