Transparent [Tsukishima Kei x Reader]

E 21

Smoke came out from Four's gun— the result of her pulling the trigger.

You looked at where the bullet hit before looking at who did it.

"Four...."

Zero was dead— shot right through the head— and Four was his killer.

"Sorry, but our secrets aren't something you could use for your own benefit," Four said, putting her gun back in her holster.

"Four!" You shouted, jumping on the blonde to hug her.

"What? Really thought I turned on you there, Six?" Four asked, chuckling while patting your head.

"I.... Um," You said, breaking the hug.

"I get it. I would've thought you did too if it were reversed," Four said, smiling at you. "Sorry about pointing a gun at you by the way."

The blonde walked towards the table Zero owned.

"I needed to make sure that he had his hands up so he couldn't do something," Four said, pushing away Zero's chair.

She looked over the top of the table.

"If I'm not mistaken...."

She crouched and looked under it this time.

"Aha!"

You walked towards the other side of the table and saw Four pointing at a small button that was installed there.

"That's for calling other agents, right?" You said. "So they'd rush here."

"While it is its common use, we weren't sure," Four said, standing up. "Who knows what he programmed it to do. And after hearing that what they worked on was essentially done, it might be even more that just calling back-up."

"If you were sure it was just back-up, you would've immediately shot, wouldn't you?" You asked.

"Yeah," Four said, grinning at you.

"I'm... sorry," You said, looking down.

"For what?"

"All those things you considered, it didn't even slip by my brain. I didn't think about it."

Four placed a hand on your shoulder with a smile.

"Six, you're not perfect. I know you're one of the smartest among us but with everything that happened with Three, I get how you cracked. All that stress and worry got to you."

"It's not just that," You said.

Maki wasn't the only person in your mind that you were scared of getting hurt.

"We all have people we want to protect, Six," Four said. "You just happened to have a lot more people you want to protect now."

You chuckled a little.

"Will you tell T?" You asked.

"About you telling those in your mission the truth?" Four asked. "Nah. That's your choice."

You smiled the blonde.

"Well, since they heard a gunshot from here, they'll come rushing to where we are anyways. Wanna turn on the earpiece?" You said.

"Sure."

You turned on your earpiece as Four turned on hers.

"Hey Seven," the both of you said.

"Oh thank goodness!"

You chuckled a little after hearing Seven say that.

"Why?" You asked.
