Crypto's POV

There's a light knock on my door. It's the middle of the night, who could possibly want to bother me right now?

"Tae? It's Y/N. Let me in, please?" Y/N whispers from the other side of the door. How does she know my name? I get up from my desk chair and go to open the door. Y/N is wearing a short, black silk pyjama dress. For some reason I find myself staring.

Y/N giggles and steps into my room, lightly pushing me out of the way. "Did you forget about our little date?" She asks with a fake pout. What date? Before I can ask any questions she pushes me down onto my bed and straddles my hips.

I feel my face heat up as she runs her hands over my chest. "Is that a drone in your pocket or are you happy to see me?" Y/N bites her lip and pushes me down so I'm laying on my back. She leans down and starts kissing my neck. I'm so confused. Why am I letting this happen? Why am I not in the process of breaking her nose? I won't let anyone so much as touch me... so what the hell is wrong with me right now?

There's a sharp pain on my neck shortly followed by a warm liquid running down it. Y/N sucks on my neck and I feel myself go dizzy. How did she pierce my synthetic skin? I don't know what the hell is happening, but there's no way any of this is real.

She sits back up and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. There's blood on her lips and chin. What the fuck is going on?

"You taste so sweet, babe. It almost turns me on." Y/N smirks and leans back down, her face extremely close to mine. I want to fight her off, but I'm paralyzed. Y/N sticks her tongue out and licks my lips, my own blood getting on them. The bad part about all of this is that I'm enjoying it. I don't want it to, but it turns me on.

Y/N giggles and sits back up. "Awe. You ARE happy to see me. Let me help you with that." She gets off me and starts pulling down my pants.

This has to stop. This isn't like me.

I bite my bottom lip hard enough to draw blood. Y/N looks up quickly, her eyes glowing red with anger. "Don't you dare try to escape!" She shouts in an almost demonic voice. I shut my eyes tight, hoping it will all go away.

And it does.

I shoot up from my bed and breathe heavily. It was just a dream. Thank God. Why was I dreaming about Y/N? And why did I like it when she hurt me?

It takes me a moment to catch my breath and then realize my pants are wet. There's no way that was scary enough for me to piss myself. I lift the covers and see that I have an erection.

"What the fuck?!"

There's something going on with that woman. And I don't like what she's doing to me. I'll have to make sure I don't get into a squad with her any time soon. Or be around her for that matter.

It'll be too awkward to face her. Especially after having a damn wet dream about her. I shouldn't let her get to me.

While everyone's asleep I'll just clean up here. Maybe take a shower and fix my... problem.

I'm pretty sure she's either a witch or a succubus. I've never been one to believe in superstitions or the supernatural or any of that shit, but there's something going on with Y/N because no one has ever been able to get under my skin like this.

Your POV

"What the fuck?!"

I wake up and groan angrily. Why is that idiot still awake. Its like 3AM. Is he raging at a game or something?

No way. There's no way he's even half as interesting to be playing video games.

Well, time to go to sleep again. It's nice and quiet now.

That is until I hear a door slam. I'm actually gonna strangle him.

I get up from bed and stomp over to my door, throwing it open to reveal Crypto. He's holding his bed sheets and freezes like a deer caught in headlights.

"Do you even sleep?! If not, I don't care. The rest of us do. So please be a little considerate. What are you even doing?!" I whisper angrily. Crypto doesn't seem to have a response. He only looks around nervously.

Oh no. Is he sleeping walking? That's weird. "Wow. Look at you. By day, a very dull genius. By night, a little less dull and creepier genius." I joke. He laughs nervously. "Uh. Yeah. I have to go."

Crypto walks away from me, backwards, holding his bed covers and sheets close to him. Honestly, I don't even wanna know what he's doing... unless he's hiding something. Then I have to know.

Nah. I'll find out later. I need sleep.

I walk back into my room and close the door. "Oh, sweet sleep. Consume me." I fall onto my bed and cuddle into the covers. I'm not too happy about being a part of the Games... but these beds are so damn comfortable it's all worth it.

.......

"Get up. Yuh missed breakfast. At least show up for lunch." Lifeline shouts from the other side of my door. I groan and sit up, giving myself a moment to adjust. "There's no way it's that late."

I get up and stretch as I walk to my door. I'm not ready for another day. I don't care if it's an off day. I'm not ready for it.

Everyone's in the common room. And I mean everyone. Even Revenant. I still remember what happened earlier when he was in my room.

"What do you want from me?" I ask as I back up carefully. Revenant doesn't move. He only stares me down. "Don't ever screw me over like you did last time. Or you'll be sent back to the Syndicate in pieces. This is my hunting ground, and I don't need you making me look like an idiot."

I relax and start laughing at him. "Awe. Did I bruise your ego? That's why you're here? Because you don't want me to upstage you?" I joke with him.

Instantly, I'm thrown back against my wall, Revenant holding me down by my throat. "I'll tell everyone you abuse your abilities."

My eyes go wide. How does he know?

Revenant laughs darkly. "You think I don't know when someone spills a lot of blood?"

"Just leave me alone. I'll stop." I beg. His hands are actually tightening around my throat and it's getting harder to breathe. Revenant doesn't budge. He only stares at me.

Right before I black out he drops me. I cough and wheeze, holding my throat. It takes me a moment to gather myself and when I look up Revenant is already gone.

I quickly look away from the simulacrum and search for Crypto. He's sitting in the corner typing away on his laptop.

Everyone else is too busy with other things. Octane and Mirage are playing video games. Wattson and Pathfinder are exchanging jokes. Everyone else is just talking with each other.

Crypto looks at me for a bit as I sit next to him. "Uh... hey." I greet with a small wave. I involuntarily look at his laptop's screen and he slams it shut. "I'm sorry! I didn't see anything if that makes you feel better." He shifts away from me almost as if he's uncomfortable.

"Are you alright?" I gently put my hand on his shoulder and he jumps up. "I have to go. Don't follow me." He leaves quickly and shuts himself in his room.

It's probably normal behavior for him. I did see some of what was on his laptop. It's way too advanced for me to understand, but I'll still report it to the boss.
