*Oliver Collins x Reader: Never alone anymore*
[Okay this is finally happening- I can’t believe I have the courage to do it TvT
so uhhh yeah it’s my first reader insert in English EVER. And it’s also my first post on this blog. I’m so exited and a bit scared... But here goes nothing!
Since it’s the first post on this brand new blog, I wanted it to be really special! So I decided that Oliver will be my first victim! ...It’s kinda symbolic when I think about it. Oliver is our first partner in the game (and also the first boss-)!
This one-shot is gonna be a little sad/angsty ‘cause we all know Oliver’s fate...but I still hope you’ll enjoy it!]
Another day, another expedition to find blood beads for those jerks you were working for.
You were tired... tired of searching for nothing... tired of putting your life on the line to have nothing in return.
You don't even remember the last time they let you keep one for yourself!
"Well seems like we're working together again, (Name)!~"
"Yeah... Finally a good news hehe~"
The only person you liked at your "job" was your regular teammate: Oliver Collins. He was probably the only person who can brighten up your day in this group of egoistical Revenants. You kinda got attached to him since the first time you team up... Actually... He was probably the only thing that motivated you to keep on searching the blood beads for your boss.
After a little talk, you both started exploring the area... making some jokes while defeating the Lost who were on your way.
Everything was going well... until...
You weren't paying attention when a Lost attacked you. To protect you, Oliver pulled you behind him but got hit in the process. Trying to keep your calm after seeing your dear friend getting injured because of you, you reacted fast and beat the Lost in one blow. You then ran to Oliver...
"I guess it could have gone better" - He laughed a bit but stopped to cough.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"
It was a stupid question to ask... you could clearly see there was a problem with his mask.
"I'm fine, I'm fine... don't worry! I just... need to take a rest."
"Wait- are you kidding me?! Y-your mask is broken!"
"I'll just sit near the mistle we found. Continue without me. I'll... catch you in a bit."
"And leaving you here? It's a big no no, mister! You'll become a Lost if we don't find a solution soon!... Wait... Don't move. I'll look around to find an exit but I won't go too far away. I don't want to leave you alone in this situation, ok? Oh... and take this!"
As he was sitting, you searched in your bag to grab a blood bead you stole from your boss and put it in Oliver's hand.
"Where did you find this?"
"I... I stole it. Better be prepared for emergency... and... it's a emergency."
"But... it's yours."
"And now it's yours. You need it more than me after all!~ I'll be back in a few, I promise."
He sighed - "I'll be waiting for you then."
---------------------------------------
Hours have passed... or actually you felt like it. You couldn't find anything. The area was way bigger than you thought. You started to feel thirsty too. Each step was more painful than the previous one... your vision was blurry... But you had to find a way to save Oliver! You couldn't think of leaving without him...
Still... you needed a break...
You came back to the mistle. Oliver was still there, breathing heavily.
You sat next to him, your head down, showing your great disappointment...
"Still nothing..."
"Listen (Name). You should go without me when you still can walk. I know you aren't in a good state too. So please... go... I want you to make it, even without me."
"I...I CAN'T DO THAT!"
Your scream echoed in the whole cave. Oliver was slightly taken aback by your sudden outburst. Taking a deep breath, you tried to talk calmly... but your couldn't help but sob.
"It's all my fault! I-if I wasn't... reckless... y-you would b-be fine... A-and now y-you w-want me to leave y-you to rot here? I-I don't want to! I-it's unfair! I... I want you to live. To...to run away from this stupid Revenant group with me. I can't do that without you!"
"(Name)..."
You let out a bitter laugh - "Y-you know? I...I kinda like you... like... like like you... since we first met... and I-"
You stopped in your track when you felt a hand on yours. Oliver's hand...
"It's probably the worst situation to talk about that but... hehe... I love you too. As cliché as it seems... it was love at first sight." - You could tell he was smiling.
"Even if we actually never saw each other faces because of our masks, heh."
You intertwined your fingers with his, making that stupid remark while slightly blushing...
"That's sadly true. But...(Name)? Could you please look at me?"
As you turn around, Oliver put his hand on your mask, asking to remove it.
He removed yours then his but he didn't let you the time to see his face as he almost immediately locked his lips with yours. Of course, you kissed back.
It was your first kiss... but also your last one. Really delicate but full of sadness...
You could both feel you were waiting to do this for so long...so...why does it hurted so much?
It's Oliver who broke the kiss. You pouted, wanting the kiss to last longer... That made him laugh.
"You're so adorable!~"
"And you're so mean!"
He stopped laughing and started coughing again... You coughed too. It's over... isn't it?
"(Name)... thank you so much... for everything..."
"It's thanks to you that I keep on fighting until today... so I'm supposed to be the one showing my appreciation-"
You rested your head on his shoulder.
"I love you, Oliver..."
"Love you too..."
You both closed your eyes... waiting for your tragic fate.
It will be fine... even if frenzy is painful...
You won't be alone anymore...
"Hey! Have you heard about the Lost Lovers? It's a sad story... There's a legend about two unlucky Revenants who got stuck in a big cave with their masks broken and without any blood beads. Their love was too strong that they aren't leaving each other side even after becoming two Greater Lost. Apparently you can still see them wondering together in this precise cave..."
[Oh gosh I did it ;w; I truly cried when we left Oliver alone in the beginning of the game. He was there for a really short period but I still got attached x’D
Anyway I do hope you liked the one-shot! Have a nice day <3]
