Fake fic titles! I am having a blast with this ask game, so lemme toss one your way. How about the title "Take Me Back." A lot of potential there, am curious what you think of! Ya always kill it Tina, get ittttt.
Oooh well since this ask game did NOT work out for me, you were the only one who sent something in and I felt like I should give it a shot
As you know, I’ve been struggling with this writing gig, hence the pause in requests (mainly letting everyone else know as a heads up), but I feel this will help keep my brain going in the right direction!
I wanted to do something, ya know? Anything! I need to do this, mainly for my own sake lmao!
Buddy Swanson x AFAB Reader
You ran because you had no idea what else to do in this situation; you were terrified, confused, and scared. The love was still there, it wouldn’t just disappear because of this new discovery, but what the hell were you supposed to do? What were you going to do tonight now?
Could you even go home, knowing a killer was sleeping right beside you. Did Sam know?
It was all too much and before you knew it, you stopped running and just stood frozen out in the middle of the chilly night, the tears already streaming down your face.
‘We will never keep secrets here, I promise.’
Was it all bullshit or was there more to it than that? You knew the answer there was no doubt in your mind, but now you were unsure and everything could have been a made-up lie. Whatever it was, you didn’t want to face it head-on right now, you needed to breathe.
The cold air stung your cheeks and it took your mind off of things until you heard his voice behind you, several feet away.
“Y/N, hey!” Buddy called out, his footsteps pounding on the pavement.
Should you run away again?
“Please,” he breathed quietly, his hand reaching out to you, afraid to touch your wrist. He wanted to latch onto you and never let you go, but he remained distanced, allowing you your space.
“How long?” you finally asked.
He weighed the question, thinking back to when he had attempted to murder Roger, his now long lost sister a witness to it. It was so long ago, he couldn't possibly remember. “It was before-”
“How long, Buddy?” You emphasized the question, determined to know.
He sighed and reached back to rub his neck, the night air now getting to him. “Fuck. About four years ago. It was just one summer, I swear.”
“Why didn’t you tell me? I thought you said no secrets. How can I trust-”
“Babe, no,” he snapped, standing up straight. “I would never lie to you, ever. I never said anything because how do you even SAY that in a conversation, Y/N? Everything I’ve done, I’ve done it all for you, I would never betray you.”
You stood in the middle of the sidewalk, still facing away from him as you allowed the tears to fall, unsure of where to go from here. “Does Sam know?”
Buddy sighed again. “Yeah, we talked about it when we met at Clear Vista.”
If Buddy was anything, it was honest. He never held back his thoughts or opinions, no matter how harsh they seemed. He told you everything and never thought twice about it, he cherished you. But this was something so insane that you never figured him the type to straight out murder people. It was a shock, to say the least, but could you honestly be mad at him for hiding it?
“Babe, please, I promise to tell you everything about it, if you wish, I swear to you.” He fell to his knees and looked like a kicked puppy. “I’ll prove it, I’m not a danger to you. Take me back...”
That made you finally turn to face him, seeing just how broken he’d been over your discovery of his secret, it ruined him inside. “Who said I dumped you?” you asked with a shaky tone.
His eyes brightened at that, if only for a second.
You couldn’t help but fall to your knees in front of him and wrap your arms around him, leaving him stunned at the moment. “I think it’s safe to say you’re gonna be stuck with me.”
