Phainon x H13! reader (／。＼)
Second post and I'm already writing something intense (@_@) Well, I had this idea in my mind for a while.
Reader is a bit distance/cold to Phainon (for obvious reasons). Hints of angst, ig? If you are just a HSR player who hasn't played H13 at all, it's still okay to read ^_^ Not really spoilerish of Amphoreus. Possibly longer than I intended it to be...
And now, I'm just yapping (×_×')
Is proof read, but still probably has some typos. Do let me know ♡
You weren't sure why you followed Welt into this universe.
You could try your best to excuse it with the fact that you wanted to try something new or maybe that you had even wanted to assist him, but the two of you knew neither were the case.
The truth was, you couldn't stand living there anymore.
Especially not after helping in the defeat of your lover.
Kiana assured you before she made her way to the moon, not wanting you to blame yourself - she told you it was Kevin's choice.
It didn't take away the pain.
You still lost two Kaslanas that day.
Humanity had a better chance of surviving now, but only because those who were precious to you sacrificed themselves.
You should've been happy. Their efforts and bravery weren't in vain, but you couldn't stand how it led to that.
You couldn't force yourself to keep going another day in that world, knowing the peacefulness was only due to your lover and friend being gone.
Why would travelling to another one help? You didn't really think it through, but you were no longer able to pretend that you still enjoyed your life there and Welt was nice enough to allow you to accompany him.
Now, you were apart of the nameless. A member of the astral express crew.
Things were different, but the same...
You grew used to March 7th's bubbly self quite easily, she even reminded you a bit of yourself - at least, how you used to be when you still attended school.
PomPom was just adorable, you were very protective over them even though they were probably much more experienced in this universe than you would ever be.
Despite Trailblazer being a new member, they were hard not to get along with; being hilarious and silly yet serious when absolutely needed to be.
Dan Heng kept to himself. He was reserved, but it was obvious he cared. You never pushed him, but he was still somehow the one you got along with practically the most after Welt.
Your eyes watered when you first met her, you couldn't control it.
Welt was just stunned. Though, he soon came to the understanding that you both may run into your old friends - but it wouldn't actually be them.
You were trying to move on, just to find out they existed in this universe also.
"I won't fall in love with him again." Is what you told the ex-herrscher when he expressed his concern over the possibility of running into the Kevin of this universe.
He wouldn't be your Kevin after all.
Meeting the Broyna and Seele of this world was quite a shock too. 'Luocha' had you and Welt rightfully wary, but by 'Acheron' - you were a little numb to it all.
Seeing your friends who weren't actually your friends would never fail to surprise you, but you refused to let yourself react and you were determined to keep that calmness; if you were to run into 'Kevin.'
Amphoreus was a strange planet, but Black Swan had advised that it would be best for your next location.
You hated leaving March behind. In fact, you very much wish you didn't offer to accompany Dan Heng and Trailblazer the second his white hair was in your vision.
He was fast. He practically lunged towards you, stealing your weapon - knocking away all the breath that came from your lungs just because of the sight of his eyes locking onto yours.
"You got something interesting." He expressed rather cheekily with a smirk, but all you could focus on was the loud ringing in your ears and the speed of your racing heart.
Memories you thought you had buried deeply for a long time now came rushing back.
Dan Heng could barely care for his beloved cloud piercer, due to your reaction.
Trailblazer couldn't bring themselves to come up with a joke either when you looked like you were one second away from having a panic attack.
What did he do for you to look like you were about to burst into tears?
Yeah, he broke your companion's weapon and practically stole yours but you were new faces and whilst, neither of you seemed like a threat - he still had to be careful.
A small sense of guilt overtook him as he came up with the assumption that you probably felt startled. It made the most sense.
What didn't, however - was how badly he wanted to comfort you.
The black haired's glare didn't faze him, he strangely found himself wanting to reach out for you. To hold you.
That certainly wasn't normal, he didn't even know you.
"I'm fine...I promise." You murmured to your friends with a smile that didn't quite reach your eyes.
Phainon yearned to embrace you.
What was this strange feeling??
When things were a bit calmer, he learnt your names.
Yours specifically caused a weird tug at his heartstrings.
"My apologies to have startled you like that. Amphoreus doesn't usually get visitors, you see. Especially not ones from the sky." He spoke sincerely.
Your two companions did all the talking, explained things and though he listened, he couldn't understand why he seemed to hate the way you were avoiding his gaze.
He wanted you to look at him.
"I'll be sure to have your piercer fixed." He assured Dan Heng and before Phainon could stop himself, he softly called out your name.
He couldn't tell why he strangely felt nervous as he attempted to return your weapon.
You still didn't bother to glance his way once - murmuring a barley audioable 'thanks' as you practically snatched the equipment back.
He wasn't sure why he hadn't liked that.
You were probably acting rash. It really wasn't your intention, but he was just so him, but wasn't at the same time.
Phainon was a bit bigger and had broader shoulders, but he had the same sapphire eyes you admired so much, the same white fluffy hair you'd always love to run your hands through.
He even sounded exactly like Kevin. At least, before he let the burden of humanity take over him.
It crawled at your skin, you couldn't stand it.
"I..I want to talk to Welt." You say a little shakily to your two friends, who you just wanted to cling onto at the moment.
Trailblazer had their arm linked with yours and you sounded dramatic, but that was pretty much the only thing that kept you steady on your feet right now.
"Our messages haven't been getting through." Dan Heng responded with a small shake of his head.
You wanted to scream. Crawl up, explode (Caleb mentioned) and get swallowed by a random black hole all at once.
"Oh, you all have a teleslate too? Don't worry, once we're in Okhema. I'm sure you'll be able to contact the rest of your companions." Phainon assured.
He was leading the way and you couldn't even bring yourself to look at his back.
You wondered...was he happy in this universe? Fate was nothing but cruel, you learned that the harsh way and a long time ago.
He wasn't your Kevin, but you still wished for nothing to happen to him.
Would you interfering in his life like this ruin things for him..? Surely not, but you still couldn't stop yourself from being careful.
You had to keep your distance. You won't even be friendly towards Phainon. The thought hurt you deeply, but you just felt as if that was what you had to do.
Hearing your name coming from him, you finally allowed yourself to take in his features and everything about him properly.
Not only was he devastatingly handsome, his eyes were so bright - they had the light you missed seeing in them. You couldn't even remember the last time you've seen like Kevin like that, causing you to feel chocked.
'Stop it. He isn't Kevin, not really.' You harshly reminded yourself, but it did nothing to ease the ache in your heart.
"Would that make you feel better?" Phainon questioned, regarding to his previous statement; facing you with a warm smile.
You wanted to disintegrate.
"...I don't see why it matters to you." You murmured quite harshly in response - unlinking your arm from your grey haired friend before walking off, despite not knowing the way.
Dan Heng looked towards you questionably whilst Trailblazer looked back and fourth to where you just were and to where you were walking away, wondering if you really had just said that.
Phainon was expectedly caught off guard, but he took no offence.
He felt rather intrigued, unknowingly gaining the sense to chase after you and get to know you better.
You and your companions would be stuck in Amphoreus for much longer than you and he thought after all.
This did indeed get longer than I intended to be and it's not even done O_O I think I'll just make a part two, if anyone's interested (even if they aren't - I'll still write it out of boredom, lmao).
But yeah, I hope it's not too bad so far. Thanks for reading >.<
