Hi, people who have decided this thing was a good idea to read. I don't know why you would read it but thank u anyways. This was a prompt from LittleFl0ofster and it's a random short story that I wrote. Enjoy! Warning, it's sad though.

1st Person POV:

At first I thought this was going to be like any other job: get in, assassinate, get out. Without being caught of course. However, there was no way I could expect my target to be a cute, blond-haired, glasses-wearing scientist. My own feelings wouldn't stop me from doing my job, they couldn't, I thought. I was wrong, dead wrong.

<Timeskip a few months>

My eyes locked onto my hands, the same hands which had brutally ended so many lives early, so what made it so different this time? My vision blurred and red liquid drowned my palms, dripping off my fingertips. It even stained my forearms. I blinked and it all disappeared. Just my imagination. I didn't want to add his blood to my hands as well; I have enough red in my ledger already. I don't have to like my job, I just have to do it. A text message pinged from my phone. All it said was one word: Today. Like it or not, it had to be done or I'd die instead, which realistically, may have been preferable.

I entered the lab as normal, my cover as his assistant still hadn't been blown yet. I pushed open the office door with the plaque 'Asteri Solace'. And he...wasn't in there? My phone vibrated with a voicemail from said currently missing person. I clicked on it, having no clue where he was.

"Hey, Ari. I guess you're probably wondering where I am about now. Well, my body is probably at the bottom of a river, but it's okay, I planned it. I knew you were supposed to kill me, I knew you were an assassin and I was the target. I knew from the start. I just saved you the trouble and emotional trauma." My phone slipped through my fingers and clattered on the ground, the sound echoing in the now lonely office. "I'm sorry, you know I love you, right? I'll see you around."

The device beeped signifying the end of the call.

I collapsed on the floor with tears streaming down my face and only one thought running through my mind, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
