Hello! If you do skin universes, could you do Project Yi with a M reader?
Master Yi x Male Reader {Pain and Memories}
“Do you remember this one?”
The small laptop screen in front of him changed to another picture, one of you and him meditating. It was a serene picture, one of the memories that you cherished, just hoping he could remember it as well. You placed a hand on his shoulders in a comforting manner, no need to rush.
The Tension was heavy in the room, the anticipation that rose in the room once more felt like a crushing force once more. Surely this would be the one he remembered, it didn’t matter if it was a small memory or an important one. Maybe even if it was just a tiny glimpse that brought him back to that moment.
“I am...sorry. My memories are corrupted, for I can not remember this moment in time”
His disappointment was evident, the voice of confusion wavering his calm approach on things. You knew the things that were done to him to some extent, he was transformed into half man half machine. But it didn’t dull the ache that let flooded into the heart that beat so deeply for him. Anger and frustration swept in again like a churning tide, your fists clenched as your hands return to your side.
It was foolish to think that you could bring back his memories, all it did was make you remember all the good and bad times before he was taken away from you..
Huffing you twisted around stalking off to get some fresh air, maneuvering throughout the rebels base to get to the rooftop. This suffocating air was getting too much, brows furrowed the path to the rooftop of the base was swift. What you didn’t notice although was that on the way there that passing by Leader of the Rebels, Ashe. Quietly she sauntered behind you.
As you exited the doorway to the rooftops the crisp cold night's air hit blew past into whatever openings of clothing it could pass into. Though the temperature was the last thing on the list of things that are important. Sitting you swept your legs over the cold metal surface, dangling over the edge. The base view of the area around it wasn’t anything calming at all, it was no different from the operations of Project’s base, although the city still was a sight for sore eyes.
For a moment those brewing thoughts of anger had subsided, your mind at peace. In a way it reminded you of a memory you could never forget when Yi had left, but he didn’t return.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flash Back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I will be continuing my path once more I shall be returning in a few weeks”
Grabbing hold of your hand his other hand was closed soon releasing something cold and bead-like into yours. With that his hands returned to his sides, his helmet was off the wind blowing the smooth strands black of hair into the wind.
What he left in your hand was a bracelet, but it wasn’t just any type of fancy bracelet. Its design was something that was similar to what he wore when armor and a helmet was attached to his body. Feeling like light amber there were jade markings on each bead, representing something. Some markings were understandable from what he had taught you, however some others you’d have to figure out later.
It was an important part of his culture and where he came from so it brought a feeling of satisfaction along with a sense of admiration. He gifted you something that he thought deeply of, in his culture loved ones would wear matching bracelets to tell if they were taken or not, inscribed with words for the other.
Looking up to see his reaction as always, his expression was calm the smile on his face was genuine. Holding the gift close your heart you nodded in understanding as adorned that odd-shaped helmet that to that day you couldn’t figure out why it had so many eye holes. With that you watched him walk off, you’d be sure to craft something of the same significance when he returned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Flash Back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A brisk moment of peace, however, was startled away as a hand was placed on your shoulder, looking up in alarm but relaxing soon after realizing it was only Ashe. She sat down on the spot close to you,
“Listen I know I haven’t known you for long and your whole reason to fight with us was to get him back” she started
“But they can't fully purge away the things that make us human, you make him human. Although its gonna take time and if the two of you were as in love with each other as you let on. The two of you can get through this obstacle together”
She was right, as her advice always seemed to soothe the mind. Taking in a deep breath and releasing it soon after you prepared yourself to vent.
“I’m just so frustrated when they took him from me I searched for so long just to get him back. But when I do they’ve done more damage than I could imagine. If I could just get him to remember anything, it’d be a start”
Fiddling the same bracelet wrapped around your wrists it soothed those upsetting feelings a bit.
The leader stood up placing a hand on your shoulder,
“There is nothing wrong about reminiscing the past, however maybe the past isn’t the key to unlocking everything”
With that said she stalked off back into the base.
Before even registering what that meant, standing up to follow her the door opened once more revealing Yi.
“I apologize for how I reacted, I know you are trying your best to remember and I shouldn’t push you” you started
He placed a hand in the air signaling to stop talking, grabbing your hand slowly as to not cause any alarm he lifted up the wrist adorned with the bracelet.
“Be it may that my memories are corrupted, there are small glimpses- glitches that I think- know are the truth. Project has hurt both of us neither pain is greater or smaller than the other.”
He paused unsure of something before pulling you close into a chaste kiss, lasting a few moments those feelings of confusion and grief felt like they were washed away, although it seemed they may have erased what a proper kiss is like it was the feeling of emotion put into it that counted.
He broke apart before holding you close to him, a tight hug.
“I want to reclaim what they have taken from the both of us, Together”
