Kenji was the first one that looked at y/n. His jaw dropping and adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed made Aaron and Adam turn. Aaron also felt his jaw drop open and his eyebrows raise. He quickly turned to Kenji. "If you don't stop undressing my woman with your eyes, I will personally see to it that your skull gets crushed," he said blank faced before striding over to his girlfriend.
"My love..." Aaron trailed off when he got closer. y/n's dress clung delightfully to her body. The dark red dress had an intricate sparkly beaded pattern sewn from the waist up. "You look... No words have the ability to describe you, my love," he murmured.
y/n smiled. "You always know what to say, darling. I'm afraid a simple 'you are stunning' will suffice," she replied, taking Aaron's hand to help her down the last stair.
The blond man looked at her as if she'd grown four heads. "'Stunning'? That is the bare minimum, y/n. I'm thinking more along the lines of absolutely ravishing." He shook his head like in a dissapointed way. "Absolutely blasphemous," he muttered to himself.
Laughing, y/n fixed a stray hair while Aaron led the pair over to where Kenji, Adam, and James were waiting. "I just put this dress on. I'd like it if it could stay on for at least an hour."
Kenji let out a loud wolf whistle before Aaron could respond. He bowed dramatically before offering y/n his hand. Aaron regretfully let go of y/n as she took Kenji's hand. Kenji twirled y/n gracefully, making James giggle at Aaron's glower. Adam couldn't help but chuckle at the way Aaron's jaw clenched when Kenji dipped y/n, making her shriek and cling to him.
"You're horrible!" y/n said when Kenji brought her back up. However, Kenji just laughed and nudged her with his shoulder.
"I like to think I'm quite outstanding," he replied smugly. "James would probably agree, yeah?"
The kid nodded, just barely easing Aaron's scowl. "I thought you were gonna drop y/n, though." he commented. He laughed harder at Kenji's offended gasp.
Adam sat back and watched Kenji and James banter while y/n retreated back to Aaron.
She easily slipped one of the blond's arms around her shoulder. "What's wrong, lovie?" y/n asked, having an idea of the look on his face.
"Just not one for watching Kishimoto twirl you around like that," he said.
y/n couldn't help but smile. "I think it's really cute when you get jealous," she said, looking at Aaron with a bright smile that he couldn't help but reciprocate.
After that, Aaron fell in a daze. The only thing on his mind was the view he had when Kenji dipped y/n. Yes, Aaron wasn't a fan of Kenji swinging his woman around like that, but he had a nice view of y/n's cleavage. Aaron criticized himself for being a pervert.
Somehow, y/n found herself sitting on Aaron's lap. Adam had wandered off, leaving James in the care of y/n, her lover, and Kenji. He sat beside the first two on hid own chair, picking at a pitiful piece of apple pie.
"You smell so good, love," Aaron murmured, resting his chin on y/n's shoulder. He pressed kiss after kiss on the sensitive skin around y/n's ear, delighting in the shiver that ran down y/n's spine. "Smell like... me," he groaned. Aaron barely withheld a smirk at the feel of y/n swatting his arm awkwardly as she tried to hold a conversation with Kenji.
Kenji yammered on about fuck knows what as Aaron wrapped his arms around y/n's waist, pulling her into him. "Aaron," she whisper-yelled.
She shifted in her spot to reach for her glass of water. Aaron kept his hold on her, giving her only a sliver of room to adjust. As y/n set her cup back down, Aaron clenched his jaw after y/n ground down on his crotch.
Seconds ticked by. Aaron had his face buried in y/n's neck while she conversed with her friend. James was slumped in his seat, eyes closed.
Aaron barely tuned in for the last part of his girlfriend's conversation.
"-better take James to his room. Kid's slumped," Kenji observed.
y/n nodded. She couldn't see Adam through the clumped groups of people but figured he'd be nearby. "See you tomorrow, Kenny," y/n said joyously. The pair watched Kenji shake his head, finish off his drink, and stand up.
"I'll get you back for that," he said, picking up James and wandering off.
"May I finally take you to bed?" Aaron asked in a low voice.
"You act as if I've been starving you," y/n mumbled back, leaning back into her lover.
The man scoffed. "It feels as if you have," he replied. "I felt positively disgusting watching Kishimoto dip you like that. Your pretty tits- Please, my love, let me take you to bed."
"I love when you beg."
He couldn't help it: Aaron whimpered. It was a quiet sound, no doubt. It came from deep in his throat, a whine that couldn't be stopped. "Please," he pleaded weakly, eyes fluttering closed.
"Take me to bed, my love. Show me how much you want to, as you said, 'ravish' me."
With that, Aaron stood up. He held y/n in his arms and happily took advantage of the crowds clearing so he could get to the elevator faster. y/n clung to him, arms thrown around his neck, watching his eyes darked considerably as he carried her to his room.
He opened the door quickly, stepped in, and locked it. Aaron set y/n on the bed carefully, as if she was made of fine porcelain. After taking off his tie, Aaron tossed it to the side, something to be found tomorrow morning.
Immediately after that, Aaron dropped to his knees, pressing kisses to y/n's legs before stopping aproximately three inches from her ankle to undo her shoes.
"Aaron..." y/n whispered. The man looked up, swallowing. y/n looked at him with such lust in her eyes Aaron felt overwhelmed with admiration for her. "Aaron please," she whispered again.
Aaron set y/n's shoes aside and stood up to kiss his lover like his life depended on it. He nipped at y/n's bottom lip and groaned when she gasped. When y/n finally pulled back, she let Aaron slide her so her head was supported by an array of pillows. "Love, flip over for me," he murmured.
When y/n complied, Aaron took his time taking bobby pins and hair things from y/n's hair. He set everything on his nighttable before he returned his attention to his lover's back. Aaron slowly unzipped the back of the bloodred dress. When he was done, he pressed kiss after kiss after kiss from y/n's neck to her shoulder to her back.
"Please, Aaron," y/n murmured. Her broken plead made Aaron feel overwhelmed.
"Tell me what you want, sweetheart. Tell me what you need me to do to make you feel good," he whispered, easing the dress down.
The cold air made y/n shiver. "I need you... I need you to eat me out," she shuddered. "Please."
Aaron cooed. "My love's asking so nicely."
"Aaron," y/n whined. After chuckling silently, Aaron finally ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ pulled the dress off. He leaned back, letting y/n turn over bashfully. Her shadowed complexion made blood rush... down.
Aaron's eyes wandered. They, like two unstoppable forces, traced every curve and dimple and scar and pimple from the top of y/n's head down her neck to the dip of her collarbone. His eyes marveled at every feature on her body, unconciously swallowing at the vulnerable beauty laying in front of him.
"You're staring."
"You're... unexplainable." Aaron's mouth answered before he could think about an answer. "So beautiful, my love," he went on. "That complex mind of yours, always thinking things through." With that, he tapped y/n's temple. "These eyes- dear God- the way you look at me..." He trailed off, cupping y/n's face with both hands. "And your mouth, my love. I love your voice, the way you talk to me. You make me feel so ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ," he whispered, staring straight at y/n's lips. When he finished his sentance, Aaron leaned down and kissed y/n.
"I need you Aaron. I need your mouth, please," y/n begged between kisses, legs wrapping around Aaron's waist. With each groan and whimper, y/n couldn't help but grind up on Aaron's crotch, a part of her relishing in the way his pitch grew higher and high with each movement.
He shushed her when he pulled back. "I know, sweetheart, I know. Lay down, love. I'll take care of you."
Panting, y/n did as she was told. Butterflies erupted in her stomach while watching Aaron watch her. His eyes were so dark they looked like the darkest, shiniest, crystalized piece of the night sky on a person. His jawline was accuented as he clenched his jaw and ground his teeth against each other (a habit y/n noticed when he was stressed, horny, or worried). A pitiful "please" escaped it's way out of y/n's face when Aaron hooked his fingers on the waistband of y/n's ordinary pair of underwear. Her thighs shook with every intentionally faint graze of Aaron's fingers.
"You gotta stay quiet, you know. There are a lot of important people here, lovely, and who's the only person in the world that can hear those pretty sounds of yours?" His dark, commanding tone scratched an itch in y/n's mind that she didn't know she had.
"You, Aaron, you. Only you, only you."
A smile spread across Aaron's face. "That's right, love." With that, he peppered y/n's sensitive inner thighs with kisses. With one hand, Aaron unbuckled his belt, unbuttoned, and unzipped his dress pants. When he pulled away, he saw y/n biting a knuckled to muffle her whines. "Good girl, being so quiet for me," he praised.
With little warning, Aaron slipped his pointer finger right into y/n's glistening pussy. A breathless gasp escaped the woman as she tried her damned hardest to be quiet- something Aaron internally admired her for. He slowly pushed in, out, in, out while watching a blissed expression bloom over his lover's face.
When he was satisfied with one finger, he slipped in another. "You're doing so well for me, angel," Aaron mumbled. y/n couldn't tell if he was talking to her or her cunt.
He was caught in a trance, dazed by the glistening liquids on his hand that were equally spread all over y/n's thighs. "All mine," he whispered to himself. The pace which he moved his fingers sped up, and he grinned when y/n's (normally shy) hands threaded themselves into his hair to push his head down.
It made Aaron actually throb to know y/n felt comfortable enough to take her own pleasure from him. The hands that have been doused in the blood of hundreds, curling into the g-spot of his favorite girl. His lips that had uttered hundreds of millions of insults and orders to people unworthy of his time had a new purpose: to bring his woman pleasure.
Aaron's fingers kept moving as he basically made out with y/n's clit. It seemed that with the way the blond was moaning and groaning, it gave him more pleasure than y/n.
For her credit, y/n was... semi-silent. Because her hands were occupied, the only thing she could do was bit down on her lip or tongue to stifle the squeals that begged to emerge from her throat.
By the way y/n's thighs were tensing up and pressing against Aaron's head (and the way her cunt was tightening and fluttering around his fingers), Aaron knew y/n was close. Just to be an ass, Aaron slowed the pace of which his fingers moved the tiniest bit. He couldn't help but smile when y/n whined desperately: she was so responsive.
After a minute, though, Aaron had mercy and returned back to his previous pace, sucking and licking right were she needed him to.
Words were an unknown factor at this point. Aaron was hell bent on giving y/n the best head she'd never dreamed about, and y/n was trying her damned hardest not to outright squeal. The air in the room was as hot as fire- or maybe that was what this kind of lust felt like.
And then that fire bloomed into something else; something made out of love and hate, bloodlust and admiration, darkness and obliviousness.
The white hot coil snapped- shattered, was crushed and destroyed.
With Aaron's face buried between y/n's thighs, he didn't get to see the way y/n's mouth opened in a breathless scream. Her grip on Aaron's head slackened and her thighs shook.
Aaron's fingers kept up the assult, despite the dull ache in his wrist. A sweet liquid suddenly filled up his senses, filling his nose and mouth and ears, slowly sinking down his throat. It filled his heart and soul and sank into his lungs. Once again he felt the overwhelming feeling of love and lust as Aaron lapped up every last drop of y/n's release from her sensitive thighs.
Above him, y/n panted as she came down from her high. Her stomach fluttered at the pornographic squelches coming from Aaron playing with her pussy and loudly sucking hickies onto her skin. "I love you," y/n whispered, tears rolling down her face. "I'm so in love with you Aaron."
A few seconds later, Aaron tore himself away and sat up. He hovered over y/n's body, his muscular, scared body versus the softer, curvier frame of y/n's showed the beautidully imperfect juxtaposition between the two. "Love," Aaron cooed, pulling y/n's hands from her face. "Sweetheart, I love you too. Come on now. Dry your tears, lovie. You did so well, staying quiet. I need to clean you up, okay? Are you here with me, lovely?" His soft voice asked. With enough care to make a grown woman cry, Aaron slipped his arms under y/n's waist and the other supporting her unclothed back. He picked y/n up without waiting for her answer and started to the joint bathroom that was redone.
"What about you?" y/n murmured into Aaron's neck.
"I'm fine, love, don't think about me," he responded. Even if his brush off was abrupt and y/n felt bad, she didn't have the energy to say anything else.
While Aaron moved around, y/n traced the numerous scars on Aaron's back. She heard a bath being drawn as she dozed off.
"Sleep, y/n. I'll take care of you" was the last thing y/n heard before she fell asleep in her lover's arms.

aaron warner x fem! reader

Tumblr media
the sun peaked from the window of your room, shining a light directly toward where you slept peacefully on the bed.
your peace was disrupted by a loud ringing sound coming from your clock on the night stand.
you groaned as you began regaining consciousness from your deep slumber. with your still bleary vision you glanced at the clock, 9 am. you rubbed your eyes and let out a yawn, knowing it was time to get up for the day.
you pulled yourself up into a sitting position, only to be brought back down by a strong arm next to you โ€“ face pulled forward into a broad bare chest. for a moment youโ€™d forgotten about your sleeping boyfriend next to you.
โ€œmm, no.โ€ mumbles the man next to you. to make his point cleaer, he slid you closer and nuzzled his face into your neck and naked shoulder comfortably.
both you and aaron rarely ever slept with shirts on. it wasnโ€™t always due to inherently sexual reasons, more-so itโ€™s for aaronโ€™s sake because heโ€™d always make a huge fuss about the fabrics getting in the way of your skins touching directly. aaron is a huge fan of touch, well only your touch. anyone elseโ€™s heโ€™d be disgusted by.
much to your bewilderment, he originally wanted to the both of you to slumber bare. much protest came from you for various reasons, including in the case of an emergency everyone needed to evacuate swiftly, the two of you could potentially land in a horribly embarrassing situation.
so, you both settled for a tops off only kind of deal. you were lucky he even let you sleep with your bra on. although, when he was needy or wanted to be a cheeky bastard, heโ€™d take it off in your sleep.
โ€œaaronโ€ฆโ€ you said in a knowing tone. he was like this almost every morning where you attempted to get out of bed with him. it was really cute, but also really annoying when you had to be somewhere, like right now.
โ€œsorry canโ€™t hear you, very tired. maybe try again in an hour or two.โ€ aaron was very obviously not asleep; but heโ€™s avoiding your pleas of freedom.
you rolled your eyes at his behavior. you couldnโ€™t wait any longer or youโ€™d be late to meet with juliette. so you begun to try and push a hand against aaronโ€™s chest to free yourself of his cuddle prison.
aaron in reaction only squeezed you impossibly tighter. you werenโ€™t weak in strength in any means, but if itโ€™s a competition between you and him; heโ€™ll win everytime.
โ€œcโ€™mon baby, i got places to go.โ€ you tried to coo him into releasing you with a pet name. aaron absolutely loved when you used pet names for him.
โ€œshhhโ€ฆ teddy bears donโ€™t speak.โ€ aaron responds, and puts a finger over your lips for emphasis. man, he was really stubborn this morning.
with the way you are being held hostage, you thought being called a teddy bear wasnโ€™t far off.
that leaves you to your last resort โ€” puppy dog eyes.
you look up at aaron and give him your best pleading eyes, โ€œyou know iโ€™d love nothing more than to just stay in bed with you, but please aaron, i really do have to leave.โ€ you plant a quick peck on his lips for extra effect.
aarons eyes soften, you could see he was almost cracking and close into relinquishing his hold on you. so close.
but then the tables turn, he gives you a sad look before saying, โ€œyouโ€™re always gone these days doing something with juliette or kenji, is it so bad that i just wish to spend some time with you even if itโ€™s just sleeping in our bed.โ€
crap, he did a reserve and now pulled puppy dog eyes on you. and worst part is it was working, especially with the sad little voice he was giving.
although, his statement wasnโ€™t all that true, you spend more than enough time with aaron, and barely enough with your friends. but of course in his dramatic mind, any few hours that arenโ€™t spent together felt like a week to him. but you doubt you could even properly compute this argument back to aaron, not while he was looking at you like an injured animal.
juliette was going to kill you for your next words, โ€œhow about you come along with me today then.โ€
aaron face changes tune immediately โ€” a big grin makes it way onto his face. he pulls your face to his and plants various pecks all over your face, making you giggle at his excitement.
it was really hard for you to deny warner at times, he could be really convincing. or maybe you were just easily susceptible to his puppy dog antics.
โ€œwell, what are you waiting for, letโ€™s get ready.โ€
aaron finally releases you and moves to get up from the bed. not even giving you a moment to stretch, he goes on to your side of the mattress and in one movement scoops you you in his arms and walks in the direction to the bathroom.
aaron made quick work of putting you on the counter and getting the water facet to the shower head turned on. he was obviously very eager to join you on whatever you and juliette were going to do.
the two of you showered together. aaron being the clingy man he is, loves when you bith shower together. he likes to wash and scrub your hair for you, lathering it in soap and shampoo. you admit thatโ€™s your favorite part because it tends to feel like a nice head massage.
however, showering together can be inconvenient at times because you are sometimes in a rush or just rather be alone. but then he gives you a sad face and you feel bad. even when you try to do it alone while heโ€™s busy, he will manage to worm his way into your space.
aaron helped dry you both off and, ever the fashionista he is, even picked out an outfit for you to wear. he has a habit of doing that, and you canโ€™t deny the pieces he chooses are fabulous.
if you both happen to subtly match, like right now, heโ€™ll claim it was a coincidence โ€” which you do not believe there is any coincidence with that man.
you left to meet up with juliette while aaron finished getting ready, so you could tell her the slight change in your plans for the day.
juliette was longing on her phone in the common place when you saw her. once she noticed you she git up and approached you.
โ€œhey, you ready to go?โ€ julietted asked you as she got her purse from the place she was sitting before.
you chuckled nervously, โ€œuh, you see, about that-โ€œ
โ€œso where are we headed off to?โ€ a voice intercepted, wrapping an arm around your shoulder .
your boyfriend had perfect timing as usual.
juliette didnโ€™t let the โ€˜weโ€™ go unnoticed.
she furrowed her brows, โ€œim, sorry did you just say we?โ€ giving you a quick glance in confirmation.
โ€œoh, y/n didnt tell you i was joining you ladies on whatever it is your doing?โ€ aaron questioned with fame in innocence laced in his voice.
the smug jerk definitely knew you hadnโ€™t got to that yet.
juliette turned her gaze toward you, making a discontented face, โ€œno. it seems she hadnโ€™t informed me of this.โ€
you winced and gave her a sheepish shrug, trying to say โ€˜sorry iโ€™m taking my boyfriend along and im springing it up on you right now cus he didnโ€™t even give me a chance to tell you.โ€™
juliette rolled her eyes, "does he even know what we're doing?" she raised a brow in a questioning manner.
aaron once again decided to butt in, looking down in your direction, "yeah, i'd also like to know what it is the three of us are out to do today." putting extra emphasis on the three, likely to annoy juliette further.
oh god. it just dawned on you what juliette and yourself had planned to do today. you realized how much a catastrophe this was a bout to be.
you glanced at juliette, who you deemed also had come to this conclusion.
you turned to face aaron, "we're going shopping."
an hour later.
"nope. absolutely not, change."
you rolled your eyes, you were so close to strangling the beautiful man that was aaron warner. if he spewed out one more opinion on your fashion choices, you were gonna lose your mind.
just as you expected. disaster. you really should've known better than to bring bring along your very honest boyfriend who happens to be obsessed with fashion himself.
in theory, it sounded cute, trying on clothes and showing your best friend and boyfriend all the cute outfits. the avergae boyfriend would say you look great in anything, making you all giddy and happy.
but you didn't have the average boyfriend, you had aaron warner.
to his credit, he had behaved himself on the car ride over (only after stubbornly refusing to drive anything that wasn't his BMW.) he even kept his comments to himself when you entered the store.
the moment you picked up an item of clothing, it was as if the crack in the dam of his mind had finally broken. he started spewing every possible critique that he thought of.
"no, that color will wash you out."
"it's cute you think i'll let you go out like that."
"put that horrendous looking shirt down down and walk away."
"im saying this as a loving boyfriend, are you blind, or do you actually think that's wearable."
juliette was in no way spared from his fashion "advice."
"i'm shooting myself if you pick up another pair of denim blue-jeans."
"i hope your horrible sense of fashion isn't contagious."
both you and juliette ignored him to an extent, she occasionally snarkily replied and then picked something he would hate purposely. aaron eventually gave up on as he put "salvaging the one good percent of juliette's closet" and focused all his attention toward you, much to your misfortune.
you loved aaron's sense of fashion, you really did, but you didn't find it very enjoyable everytime you picked up an item you thought was cute, just for him to snatch it from your grasp
another thing, when it was time to try on your items - aaron refused to wait outside the dressing room, he was very persistent on getting in the dressing rooms with yo he even told the worked in charge of the fitting rooms 'it was nothing he hadn't seen before.'
you gave him smack on the arm for that suggestive remark.
so, now the two of you were cramped into a small dressing room, not that aaron minded - the closer the two of you were, the better.
you did enjoy how he doted on you - zipping up your dressing, helping you put on and remove clothes, planting a small kiss on the top of your shoulder whenever you were dressed.
he would sit down on the small chair in the dressing room and take in your attire, "now give me a little twirl." he teasingly commanded manner.
you shook your head with a grin, then spun around in the flowy fabric of the light pink sundress you were trying on, adorned with small flower embrodiery - it was an "aaron approved" dress on the rack of course.
when you met with his eyes again, he looked as if he were in a trance, hypnotized by your entire being. he was enticed by the clothing that draped you, examining it thoroughly. your face flamed up under his loving gaze.
"well, what do you think?" you asked a bit anxiously, since he hadn't uttered a word since the clothing was put on you.
it was ridiculous to be nervous about your boyfriend's approval, but alas, you couldn't help it when the boyfriend in question is aaron warner.
he was brought back by your soft voice and stared up to you, putting a hand on your hip - bringing you closer to him.
"i think..." he paused, standing up from the small cushion, and cupping your face with his hands, "we should buy it in every color they have."
aaron then started sloppily covering your face in kisses, each one after the next. you attempt to weakly push him away, not putting much force into it.
"aaron you're going to smudge my makeup!" you cooly scolded.
aaron looks down to you, leaning his face closer to yours, "my love, if i always cared about smudging your makeup, i'd never be able to kiss you." he replies smoothly.
little moments like this truly made all of the mayhem of the day worth it. mostly.
"now, love, hurry up and try the next one on. i chose that one myself."
"but juliette hasn't even seen this one yet." you brought up your best friend, who was trying on her on choices a few doors down.
"who cares what juliette's opinion is, her fashion taste is a worn out t-shirt and jeans." aaron sassily retorted.
"i heard that you asshole!" juliette bellowed over to aaron from the inside of her dressing room.
aaron remains unfazed by her disruption, "ignore her, put on the next one."
you give aaron a glare at his behavior to juliette, but comply go to the door in your room to get the piece he keeps referring to.
you gape at the fabric hung before you, doing a double-take to ensure you had seen it correctly. oh you're boyfriend was sly.
you hold the clothing in your hand and turn to face him, "aaron, this is lingerie."
he smirks, "i suppose it is."
heat was beginning to rise from your neck to your cheeks, you played it off with a scoff, "i'm not changing into this unless you turn around."
aaron gives you a disapproving look, as if to say 'seriously?' - "nothing i haven't seen before."
"just turn!" you scolded at him.
"alright love, no need to get so feisty." he teased then finally turn his back to you. you hated when he teased you terribly. you almost gave him a smack on his back for that, but decided against it.
you started removing the clothing on your body, reminding yourself to show juliette the dress later. you grabbed the lingerie aaron picked, it was green colored lace two piece set - the top had lace on the cups, a corset like style for the waist with 3 light green ribbons going down, and a mesh fabric with lace trimming the edges draped from the bottom of your rib area and covered your butt almost fully. the underwear was a simple lace thong the same color as the top.
it was beautiful, and you shouldn't have expected any less since your loving fashion expert boyfriend chose it.
once the lingerie was on, you looked at yourself in the long vertical mirror placed in the center of the room.
you admit you thought you look pretty good in the set. you had a few nightwear pieces, but those looked plain in comparison to the on you had on.
your noticed aaron's back in the mirror and suddenly remembered he was waiting for you to put on the lingerie.
your smooths down the top with your hands, then turned to aaron's direction, "ok, you can turn around now."
aaron mutter a small 'finally' before twisting to see you. the first thing he did was stare at you, his jaw slacking and eyes widening.
he was silent for so long, you started to get insecure if he thought it looked bad on you. you nervously laugh, "do you like it or-"
the question went unfinished because in an instant aaron took one large step towards you, pushed you against the mirror and passionately kissed you. you were thrown so off guard, you stumbled with your feet, stabilizing yourself by placing you hands on aaron's shoulders.
aaron's hands started wandering down your body, leaving goosebumps on your skin. aaron's lips were almost devouring yourself, kissing you with need and eagerness.
you were the first to pull away for air with a grin, aaron's lips followed yours, not ready to end the kiss. you had to gently put a hand on the side of his face to pull him back enough to let you breathe.
the haze that was clouding you for a moment cleared - reminding yourself you still were in the dressing room.
the first thing you did was laugh, then ask, "so i'm gonna assume you like it?"
aaron leans his face towards your, pressing your foreheads together and whispers, "love, if we don't pack up and go pay soon, i'm going to commit some horrible acts to you right here in this dressing room."
later
"well, i can say with full confidence this was the worst shopping trip, in the history of shopping trips to ever exist." juliette announced to the entire car as she drove back to the base.
"maybe next time you shouldn't come along then." aaron retorted from the backseat where the both of you were seated. (aaron was insistent on both of you in the back instead of one in the passenger seat and one in the back seat.)
"you're the one who wasn't even suppose to come! y/n only brought you along because you're a clingy boyfriend."
"i don't know what you mean by that, i'm not clingy." aaron defended, crossing his arms over his chest, like a stubborn child would.
you couldn't help, but let out a small laugh, you tried covering up with a cough. aaron snapped his head in your direction, furrowing his brow, "do you think i'm clingy?"
"no- well, maybe a little.. but it's not a bad thing." you tried to reassure him. your boyfriend's clinginess could be a little much, but honestly the feeling of being loved so much by someone was worth any small inconveniences.
aaron tugs you closer to his seat, wrapping an arm around you. "well, it's not my fault i love you so much" he tells you, giving a small peck on your lips, "if anything i'm reeling in at least half of my clinginess."
you raise a brow at this, not quite believing that, "i can't imagine how you could possibly top your regular behavior."
"oh, i can always be much worse, love" he cockily says leaning his head down closer to yours.
juliette interrupted your shared moment with a comment, reminding you both of her presence in the front seat, "i'm gonna throw up from all this sappiness."
aaron as always was quick to come up with a cynical reply,"not our fault you and kent have the emotional connection of a brick."
"hey!"

today was the day. april 24th. aaronโ€™s birthday. you, kenji, juliette, and the othersโ€”surprisingly, including adam, though youโ€™re still mad at him for being a jerkโ€”decide to throw a surprise party for him.
you havenโ€™t seen aaron all day and nazeera was the one to distract him from coming into the living room. nowโ€”after four hoursโ€”the living room, cake, and everything else is ready.
โ€œare you sure warnerโ€™s going to like this?โ€ adam asks, lifting an eyebrow. you roll your eyes at him. โ€œno, but he probably will. plus, itโ€™s be worse if we donโ€™t make a surprise birthday party for him.โ€
โ€œi agree with Y/N. who doesnโ€™t like surprise parties?โ€ kenji butts in, grinning.
โ€œwarner,โ€ juliette mumbles from the side. well, theyโ€™re not wrong. but you still have to try. โ€œwhatever. Iโ€™m gonna go get aaron.โ€
the others say their goodbyes as you turn on your heel and walk over to your and aaronโ€™s room. nazeeraโ€™s already getting ready, so that means aaron is alone in your room. opening the door, you see aaron just about to take off his tie.
hid head snaps to where you are and immediately walks over to you, pulling you into his chest. you shut the door behind you as he holds you tightly, his face digging into your hair.
โ€œlove,โ€ he murmurs, โ€œwhere have you been all day?โ€ you look up at him with a sheepish expression. โ€œdoing somethingโ€ฆโ€ you trail off, making him give you a suspicious look.
โ€œreally?โ€
โ€œyes. but come with me. i have to show you something.โ€
he sighs, his arms holding you tighter. โ€œangel, i just want to hold you right now,โ€ he says, making you get butterflies in your stomach. you two have been today for four months, and yet he never fails to make you get butterflies.
โ€œi know, and we could do that later. but now; i need you to follow me,โ€ you say, trying to hold your excitement. he senses your excitement anyway and looks at you curiously.
โ€œfine,โ€ he sighs. you grin at him and take his hand, turning on your heel. you walk outside the room, him following on your heel. once you two get into the living room, you quickly let go.
the living room is covered in darkness, so dark that you canโ€™t see if your eyes havenโ€™t gotten used to the dark already. โ€œlove?โ€
you feel kenji on your side as he walks over to the wall with the light switch. aaron looks around the room, clearly trying to find you, worried. โ€œYโ€”โ€
the lights turn on and you stand in front of him, grinning. โ€œhappy birthday!โ€ you yell along with the others. the roomโ€™s decorated not too much, but just enough that it isnโ€™t overwhelming.
balloons surround the table with the cake on it, along with the windows and doors while letters that spell happy birthday hang above the table.
aaron looks at you in shock, and for a moment he doesnโ€™t say anything. you blink at him and for a moment, you think he doesnโ€™t like it. โ€œdo you not like it?โ€”โ€
he turns to you. โ€œiโ€”no, itโ€™s justโ€”โ€ he stammers. aaron never stammers. then, you see his eyes start to water. the others look at him curiously but you know that he doesnโ€™t like other people to see him cry, so you bring him in an embrace, hugging him tightly.
he digs his face in your neck and takes a deep, shaky breath. โ€œwhat is this?โ€ฆโ€ he mutters, looking up at the room again. you smile softly at him.
โ€œwell, itโ€™s your birthday. i know you donโ€™t really celebrate it, but i wanted to celebrate it this one time. plus, the others helped,โ€ you explain before adding, โ€œeven adam.โ€
he blinks at you before turning to the others. getting his composure back together, he stands straight and clears his throat.
โ€œi supposeโ€”i should thank you all,โ€ he mutters, running a hand down his face. but you couldโ€™ve sworn you saw him smile a little.
โ€œyeah, man! do you know how long it took us to make this?โ€ kenji retorts, frowning at him. aaron glares at the raven-haired as kenji keeps on complaining. โ€œyou couldโ€™ve at least shown some tears.โ€
aaron ignores him and looks at you. โ€œthank you, love,โ€ he mutters quietly, so only you can hear it. you smile at him and take a step forward, kissing the blond on his cheek.
โ€œhapy birthday, aaron,โ€ you say quietly. โ€œoh, yeah. after this party ends, come to our room,โ€ you add quickly with an innocent grin, even though the tone of your voice is something else.
he looks at you in surprise before immediately nodding, making you giggle. โ€œhey! stop flirting with each other and hurry up and eat this cake so we can open presents!โ€ kenji yells, making you two look at him.
โ€œi agree with kenji,โ€ nazeera butts in. โ€œi didnโ€™t just spend most of my money on presents just for you not to open them, warner.โ€ aaron gives her a deadpan look. โ€œi never asked for you to spend your money on me.โ€
โ€œwell, we did it anyway!โ€
โ€œaaron, say thank you,โ€ you say pointedly. he makes a sound deep in his throat that sounds like a complaining groan before looking at the group.
โ€œthankโ€”you, forโ€”doing this for me,โ€ he gets out. kenji blinks at him, nazeera gives him a deadpan look, and juliette smiles, while adam snorts. โ€œthatโ€™s one of the worst thank yous Iโ€™ve ever heard,โ€ adam says, rolling his eyes.
โ€œbe thankful I said thank you, kent,โ€ aaron retorts.
โ€œdonโ€™t argue, guys,โ€ juliette says. โ€œyeah, now letโ€™s eat the cake that i made!โ€ you yell, breaking the two boys up.
โ€œyou didnโ€™t even make itโ€”โ€
โ€œSHUT UP, KENJI!โ€

It wasn't often y/n would wake up before Aaron, and that's why she was slightly shocked when her watch read 7:03 and Aaron was still sound asleep with his hands securing y/n directly to his bare chest. His mouth was slightly open. He hummed slightly, burrowing further into his girlfriend.
"Stay w'me, m'love," was barely audible from Aaron's lips as he squirmed around, grasping at the edges of conciousness. "Wanna hold you."
y/n knew Aaron would wake up soon. He had a sixth sense about when y/n woke up, and he also didn't normally sleep in late. His muscular arms loosened slightly, giving y/n the chance (even though she didn't want to) to untangle herself from the sheets and sticky skin.
She shivered when the brisk air brushed her skin. Goosebumps appeared along y/n's forearms, all the way up her arms.
Aaron flopped around on the bed again, a small whimper leaving his mouth. His arms flailed around as he attempted to get comfortable. Even though y/n felt bad for leaving him cold (even though he was basically a heating device), she couldn't help but sigh in happiness at her now unrestricted body movement.
When Aaron stilled once again, y/n made her way to the growing collection of books found... around. y/n selected a book that she'd started. It was by a woman called Cassandra Clare. Maybe it was the way the book was written, the characters, or even the fact that the book had made y/n remember things from the time before The Reestablishment but y/n loved the book.
"Angel?" Aaron's gravelly voice startled y/n as she padded back to the bed. His eyes squinted at the soft light in the room, but his hands reached out to perform a very uncharacteristic grabby-hands movement.
y/n giggled at Aaron's bed-head, sliding into the bed. "Morning, my love," y/n greeted, withholding a small coo at the way Aaron nuzzled into y/n's chest. "You'll suffocate and die if you stay like that for long," y/n laughed, playing with the hair on the back of Aaron's neck.
"I will happily embrace death if you're the one killing me." His sickenly sweet morbid comment made y/n want to laugh and smack him upside the head.
Silence followed while y/n drew small circles on Aaron's muscular back. The Mortal Instruments was set to the side while the pair basked in each other's loving company.
"I'm in love with you, Aaron," y/n murmurs suddenly.
The blond turned his head up to see y/n already gazing at him. "I love you more," he started. "I love you more than a moon loves it's star, I love you more than the stars love the sky, I love you more than the blood in my body loves my heart. I love you more than I love myself, my dear. I will love you until the end of all concept of time and even longer. My heart beats for you and only you," he ranted, brushing a thumb on y/n's cheek. "I love you more than you love watching the stars on the horizon. I'm so in love with you that I would carve my heart from my chest just for you to remember me by."
Aaron searched y/n's eyes during the loud silence that followed.
"You romantic boy," y/n said with emotion, "I feel horrible because I can't string together enough syllables to tell you I love you."
A small grin crossed Aaron's face. "I love you," he said again.
y/n mirrored his smile as he burrowed into her neck. "I love you more, darling." y/n carded her hand through Aaron's soft hair after pressing a small kiss to his temple.
"I love you most."

Please please please tell me you have more Aaron Hotchner thoughts I need more. I love this man ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Ok idk if this is an unpopular opinion, but I feel like Hotch loves being cooked for and being loved on? I dont really know how to explain it but my man is literally risking his life every ๐Ÿ‘single๐Ÿ‘day๐Ÿ‘ so I feel like the little things mean a lot to him
Cooking for him, massaging his shoulders/back, shaving his facial hair for him, reading to him, stuff like that.
But can you imagine giving Aaron a massage?? ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
i KNOW those muscles are ROCK HARD, so youโ€™ll catch me sitting on his lower back massaging his shoulders because my man is carrying too much on his shoulders ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช
I know he gives good hugs though. Believe it. Iโ€™ve hugged him before, trust. BUT LIKE HIS ARMS ARE SO MASSIVE AND HES JUST THE PERFECT PERSON TO CLING TO. I just want to do one of those movie hugs where you jump on him and he spins you around.
I feel like Hotch is a forhead kisses man. Like im just imagining lil forhead kisses in passing, Aaron kissing your cheek or forhead if youre still asleep when he has to go somewhere. Idk but i need him to kiss my forhead and hold me
Has a very squishable face???? Like i just want to be married to him and be able to squish his cheeks when i pull him in for a kiss??? Idrk how to explain it wothout sounding like a weirdo but like can you imagine being sore for reasons which could vary and youโ€™re getting tired of Aaronโ€™s teasing (i know he would tease his spouse yall) so you just squish his cheeks and pull him in to kiss his puckered lips
im normal about him (i cry myself to sleep because i will never be able to meet him. literally ever.)

Tumblr media
things were finally looking up for the rebellion. you'd manage to overthrow the supreme commander and his army, the reestablishment no longer ruled over your part of the land - making it open to new possibilities of government.
you never wished you paid attention in your social studies classes until now.
there were so many regulations you had to learn, matters you had to discuss, and, of course, the never-ending paperwork. your least favorite part. it didn't help you were behind on learning the fancy terminology for topics. 'can't people ever just say what they mean?'
juliette's optimism for being a leader was diminishing every time she had to meet with castle on strategy. he poorly disguised his disapproval of leadership upon every encounter.
but you learned to ignore it along the way. it wasn't as if he was ever the perfect leader either, plus you'd get the gist of the whole leadership thing soon. you silently prayed.
in the midst of all the responsibilities, you had to keep aaron from killing kenji most of the time. they were originally getting on somewhat friendly enough terms, but that was before the incident occurred.
that day, kenji barged in with urgency into your room as you were looking over papers. he went on to say there was a 'serious' problem, and you worriedly assumed it had to do with the reestablishment. but it instead involved your boyfriend.
"seriously kenji? i thought we were under attack or someone died!"
"someone will die if you don't handle your boyfriend right now. hopefully better than you've been handling being supreme comm-" kenji was cut off by the click of a gun.
"i dare you to finish your sentence."
with the barrel to his head, kenji quickly defended his words with the barrel to his head. aaron and him bickered back and forth. kenji turned to you for help, but all you did was shrug and mouth 'karma.' then he hit kenji's head with said gun.
"okay, that's enough, can someone explain to me what the issue is here?"
"this is the issue." aaron then turned to reveal chunks of different sizes along the back of his head. you gasp at his ruined hair.
"oh my god, kenji what the hell did you do?"
"i gave him a trim just like he asked!"
this made another argument burst out between the two. kenji denying his mistake and aaron picking the gun back up and threatening to kill him.
"aaron put the gun down."
aaron reluctantly does so, but his glare at kenji doesn't drop.
"phew, thanks, princess."
"kenjii since you "trimmed" warner's hair, i think it's only fair that he does the same to yours." you proclaim.
kenji looks toward you in horror, "no way!"
aaron wastes no time in going to the bathroom and returning with a razor. he gives him a terrifying smile, "i'm only going to trim the edges."
kenji bolted out of the room a second later, complaining about favoritism on the way out.
aaron ended up having no choice but to shave the rest of his hair, leaving him with a military-style buzz cut. you would mourn the longer hair, but truthfully, it did nothing to tarnish his looks.
sector 45, after sending several invitations, finally received a rvsp for an international leadership conference held at your sector. from oceania, is what delalieu told you and juliette.
you started to come to the realization about the lack of history you knew about warner. sure, you knew him deeply now, but you knew so little about his past. castle made it evident when he mentioned to you and juliette his possible connection to oceania's leaders. castle, annoyingly, did not disclose anymore and insisted aaron needed to be the one to tell. yet, he judged how little you both knew about oceania.
warner being immersed into his work left little time for that. while aaron had been helpful in your learning some etiquettes, he'd been closing off his emotions since he father's death. even after many attempts of trying to get him to open up, he vowed he was okay. you had a slim to none chance of prying information about oceania from him.
you felt lost and angry. for being supreme commanders, you and juliette seemed to be almost always out of the loop. castle regarded you as experiments, seeing how two naive teenage girls could survive being leaders. the rest of the world wasn't any different.
you offered the idea of just reading castle's mind, but juliette thought it could lead to mistrust toward you. she believed you both needed to remain calm for the moment, which is what you have done so far. but you were getting a bit bitter playing nice for so long.
at times you felt juliette left you of the leadership issues. she insisted to be the one to tackle meetings and discussion with castle, she sometimes gave answers before even discussing it with you, and even delalieu seemed to report everything to her first before it got to you. you would never bring it up, and just wrote it off as her still getting the hang of everything. but in the back of your mind you worried it was only a foreshadow.
on the way to see the new headquarters, castle rushed to you. he begged you and juliette to reconsider taking warner with you to greet the guest downstairs. you had no clue what he was on about, but played along and told him warner wasn't needed. you quickly caught on to the situation.
you rushed back to your room, put on what you deemed appropriate clothing and freshened up your hair and face. you were still putting on your shoes when you left.
on the way, you thought about how odd it was juliette didn't even bother to inform you. even if you were busy, you both had pagers to contact one another for important events such as this one.
you hear sounds of greetings as you approach the reception. you luckily hadn't missed out on much.
you see kenji along side juliette and feel a pang of betrayal. juliette was subtly shocked and kenji was confused to see you. but you cover it up with a smile as you turn to see the guest.
"apologies for my delay, i was held up with some prior matters." you hold a hand out, "it's a pleasure to meet you, i'm y/n."
the guest introduces himself as haider, and you can't help but notice a glint of recognition as he looks you over.
but that was forgotten as you came to find out haider wasn't aware of the fact sector 45 had another supreme commander as it wasn't mentioned on the invitation. you told him it must've been a mistake, but you threw a questioning glance to juliette.
you felt yourself get lost as the meeting when on. haider didnโ€™t make it discreet he knew warner very well. he made a brief comment on his relationship with the other supreme commander children.
โ€œiโ€™ve got to say, when i first heard about warner being involved with a girl โ€” i had strong doubts. he has never been the relationship type. unless you count lena. oh, but iโ€™m sure you know all about her by now. they were together for almost two-years after all.โ€
you had no idea who lena was, but you had a strong sense you wouldnโ€™t like the answer. haider had obviously knew this, and faked ignorance with his comment.
โ€œoh. he hasnโ€™t mentioned his ex-girl friend?โ€
your heart dropped. you glanced at kenji and juliette from the side of your eyed and they held the same face of surprise. you did your best to remain unphased with a polite smile.
โ€œmustโ€™ve just not been important enough to discuss. like right now. iโ€™d prefer if we got back on track of the topic instead of digging into my personal relations.โ€
if haider was impressed or offended he didnโ€™t show and shifted subjects. you tried your best to listen in as juliette spoke with him about dinner, but the thought of warner having an ex-girlfriend floated around in your mind for the rest of the meeting.
the second haider left the room, and you all burst into a discussion for the next step. dinner would be in less than an hour, and you were still filled in with little to no information about haider and his intentions. you knew the next step would be for you to talk to aaron about it, but you werenโ€™t sure you could be alone with him with this newfound information about his past. you got juliette and kenji to come along with you to question him under the excuse that it would be easier than relaying whatever he told you.
before you three could do that, you didnโ€™t forget their actions before this meeting. you knew it would be the worst time to discuss especially with how limited time was, but you spoke without thinking when you saw juliette heading towards the door.
โ€œwhy didnโ€™t you tell me about this meeting?โ€
she sighs and brushes you off saying it wasnโ€™t the most important subject right now. but you already begin, so you thought you might as well get some answers, and pushed her for an explanation.
โ€œweโ€™re suppose to be in this together, how could you leave me in the darkโ€”โ€
โ€œbecause i didnโ€™t think you could handle it, and quite frankly, castle agreed with me.โ€
โ€œwhat?โ€ you were dumfounded by her response.
โ€œyouโ€™ve been so unruly lately, and i get it doing this whole supreme commander thing has been challenging โ€” but i couldnโ€™t afford anything with this meeting.โ€
โ€œunruly? just because i donโ€™t want to listen to every little thing castle says. news flash, heโ€™s made it quite clear he doesnโ€™t support us leading sector 45.โ€
โ€œhe knows far more than us, we should take what he says wisely.โ€
โ€œj has a point y/n, castle has a lot of experienceโ€”โ€ kenji intercepts.
โ€œshut up! youโ€™re just as guilty as juliette. i thought we were friends and then you help juliette hide this meeting from me!โ€ you spit at kenji.
he stays silent, for once. but it says more than enough for you. you turn your bitterness back to your sister.
โ€œwas it his idea to only put down you as the supreme commander on the invitations, too?โ€
โ€œyes.โ€ she reluctantly admits. โ€œcastle wasnโ€™t sure if the idea of two supreme commanders would go well over with orher sectors. i swear, y/n, i only found out once they were already sent.โ€
you didnโ€™t care for reasoning. you were angry at it all. โ€œi agreed to do this for you! it was you wanted us to do this together! โ€
โ€œand maybe iโ€™m starting to regret that.โ€
your face dropped. julietteโ€™s eyes widened as she realized the weight of her words. but it was too late to apologize.
you scoff, โ€œalright. fine. go ahead and do it yourself. go and question warner about haider yourself and talk to castle and beg for his help for dinner. because iโ€™m done being supreme commander. but itโ€™s not like i ever was, right?โ€
you canโ€™t help but leave a final comment before you stalk out the door, โ€œyou know whatโ€™s funny? i found out about the meeting because castle wanted me to tell you to not do it on your own, to bring warner, he said. guess youโ€™re unruly to him too.โ€
with limited options of locations juliette, kenji, or warner wouldnโ€™t be able to find you, you had to resort to being hiding in your old room you were once held captive in.
now less clouded by anger, you facepalmed yourself. perhaps just quitting being supreme commander had been a rash decision. you werenโ€™t even quite sure if you could just quit like that. but you would rather be jobless than take back your words to juliette.
maybe she was right, you are quite unruly. but you had no plans to admit it to her.
you thought back to aaron. you wanted his comfort, but you still were upset about the ex-girlfriend situation. even if you said it was important, you had somewhat of a right to know when your boyfriend was in a past relationship.
you hated how castle was right about how much you lack knowledge about aaronโ€™s history. and you know you should probably be there with kenji and juliette talking to aaron, but you were too prideful, and a little embarrassed to do so.
so you collected yourself as made your way back to your room (taking twists and turns to avoid anyone you didnโ€™t want to see) to prepare yourself mentally and physically for the dinner to come.
unfortunately for you, aaron was sitting on your bed waiting for your return when you stepped into the room. you weโ€™re unsure on how to greet him since he likely was informed about earlier events through juliette and kenji.
โ€œoh my god, you scared me.โ€
โ€œmy apologies, amor. but i had to see you after you you didnโ€™t arrive with kenji and juliette when they went to ask me about haider.โ€
you went into your closet as he spoke from your bed, picking out a nice dress for dinner. โ€œgot into a fight with them and it didnโ€™t end well. then i dramatically quit being supreme commander.โ€ you explained nonchantly.
he was taken aback, โ€œyou quit? just like that?โ€
โ€œyeah.โ€ you confirm walking out the closet with a lilac dress on arm, โ€œyou think thisโ€™ll be good enough, or it it too much?โ€
โ€œyouโ€™ll look astonishing as always. but donโ€™t change the topic, what happened to that headstrong nature of yours i admire? you canโ€™t just give up after a silly fight.โ€
you groan, and toss the dress on tour bef next to him, โ€œi really donโ€™t want to talk about it right now. canโ€™t you just tell me what shoes go with this dress?โ€
โ€œamor.โ€ aaron stands up and interwines his hands in yours, โ€œplease donโ€™t shut me out.โ€
you bitterness rose back up at his words and you drop aaronโ€™s hands. โ€œthatโ€™s ironic coming from you.โ€
โ€œamor, please donโ€™t pick a fight with me.โ€
โ€œcastle once told me i didnโ€™t know you as well as i thought. and heโ€™s right, aaron. any mention of your past and you close right up.โ€
aaron sighs, โ€œiโ€™m not an open person, you know this. itโ€™s harder for me to talk about my personal life than it is for you. but i mean it when i say i am trying for you.โ€
โ€œreally? then why didnโ€™t you even bother to mention you knew haider. or how about the fact you have an ex-girlfriend! you know how embarrassing it was for someone from a different continent to tell you more than you knew about your boyfriend?โ€
โ€œlena?โ€ he asks furrowing his brows. โ€œshe was barely a girlfriend. haider likely only mentioned her to rile you up and itโ€™s working, so please calm down.โ€
โ€œoh my god. there you go again! you want to just sweep it under the rug, and iโ€™m tired of it. all i want is a little more openness from you.โ€
โ€œi have been open, thereโ€™s no one closer to my heart than you. please understand that just certain subject areโ€”โ€œ
โ€œhard to talk about, yeah iโ€™ve got that.โ€ you exasperated. โ€œi just think itโ€™s important to mention a two-year relationship.โ€
โ€œit was purely physical.โ€
your heart stings. โ€œso, physical relationships just mean nothing to you? everything physical weโ€™ve shared hasnโ€™t meant anything to you?โ€
โ€œthatโ€™s not what i meant. i was different back then!โ€
you turn around, โ€œjust go warner. iโ€™d like to be alone right now before dinner.โ€
aaron didnโ€™t anything else, he knew your word was final. not because of his sense of your emotions, but by the fact you used his last name.
in less than an hour you managed to fight with every person close to you. and you had to see said people at dinner in less than ten minutes. somehow, you blamed castle for your luck.
delalieu knocked on your door to escort you to dinner. you werenโ€™t sure of aaron had told him to or perhaps he had pity that you would be entering alone. either way you were happy to walk with someone you werenโ€™t upset with.
luckily, you had arrived before the guests did. but unluckily, kenji, juliette, and aaron were already there. your usual spot was next to aaron and infront of juliette, kenji sometimes next to you or her. but juliette sat at the head of the table now, kenji to her right and aaron to her left. you had no choice but to awkwardly sit next to warner due to the limited seating. plus youโ€™d rather not show haider theres issues amongst you four.
kenji and juliete silently conversed, your sister ignored you fully while kenji glimpsed at you with a small frown. you could feel aaron turn in your direction, but your gaze focused on the empty seat next to you.
haider arrived shortly, greeted aaron first with a hug, one aaron was visibly discomforted by. then discreetly spoke, both using arabic tongues. which none of you knew he had. ypu almost choke on nothing as he casually reveals aaron know seven languages. the rest of you greeted him curtly, and he took a seat in front of you.
haider wasnโ€™t the only guest at the dinner, his sister nazeera showing up was a bit of a surprise to the rest of you.
nazeera is gorgeous, with her smooth carmel complexion, dark eyes and strong features. her face held diamonds percing; two on her eyebrow and one below her lip. she wore a wrap that covered her whole hair, and it did nothing to lessen her beauty โ€” it enhanced it.
she stared at juliette before she turned to you. you were unsure of the expression she held, and part of you wanted to just find out yourself, but you knew better.
both you and juliette stood up to greet her, and she accepted politely. she gave aaron a mere nod then proceeded to sit down next to you, instead of her brother. but if anything it gave you more of a reason to not talk to the people beside you.
aaron started the conversation about her scraf, but kenji was the one who made an offhanded comment regarding her head scarf, which you learned was called a hijab, claiming it was banned to wear them since it was stabled with religion. nazeera didnโ€™t shy away from answering, she stood her stance and didnโ€™t care for reestablishment rules despite being a supreme commanderโ€™s daughter.
nazeera has a sharp tongue and kenji was not prepared for it. you tried to hide you smile as kenji got more flustered with his words. she was highly more likable than her brother.
โ€œare all the other supreme commander kids like this?โ€ you ask her.
โ€œonly the ones who arenโ€™t insufferable.โ€ she stands up from her seat, โ€œso, no,โ€ she tells you with a wink. nazeera then announces her departures and leaves the dining table.
you had a good feeling about her. and even though you and juliette were at odds, you knew she also admired nazeera already.
aaron and kenji bickered a bit before haider bid his goodbyes. aaron took the liberty of escorting him to his quarters. a job that likely shouldโ€™ve been done by you or juliette, but frankly, you didnโ€™t like the guy much to care.
now juliette, kenji, and you sat in an awkward silence. part of you wanted to mend things with your sister, but majority of you felt she should take the first step. kenji looked ready to say something, but held his tongue.
you figured it was the most youโ€™ll get, so you mumbled a goodbye and headed off to your room.
half way there, you stopped. even if you felt you were the one in the right, you were ready to make the first move if it meant rehashing things with your sister and best friend. you rerouted back to the dining room.
before you could enter, you heard talking. you peeked through the slit of the open door and saw nazeera, juliette, and kenji talking.
suddenly, and ugly feeling boiled in your stomach. seeing them all conversing (mainly juliette and nazeera because kenji was mixing his words) made you realize how perfect the three looked together. almost natural. it made you think of how easy it would be to replace you. nazeera would be the one teasing and messing with kenji. nazeera would be the sister you imagined juliette wished she had instead โ€” one who was confident, witted, and courageous. everything you lacked these days.
maybe they just didnโ€™t need you nearly as much as you needed them.
you couldnโ€™t even place your vexation on nazeera. you just met her today, and she was already someone you knew was amazing as she presented herself.
you never entered the dining room. you left before anyone could notice you dejectedly walking away.
the following morning wasnโ€™t better. delalieu knocked on your just as the sun was starting to rise, your restless sleep did nothing to help wake you up. he informed you youโ€™d been invited to accompany haider, and nazeera would likely be joininng. you nodded, thanked him, and sent him on his way.
as soon as the door closed, you grabbed the nearest pillow and screamed into it. haider was already being a pain, and it was his second day.
worst part was, delalieu failed to mention haider had also invited others.
you were unpleasantly surprised to see all three of the people you quarreled with arriving after you.
you werenโ€™t sure who to walk aside. but on instinct you stood next to aaron before you could remember your vendetta. juliette was on one side of haider and you were on the other. nazeera and kenji followed closely behind.
it was unbearably silent the first few steps, there wasnโ€™t a word uttered. the tension wouldโ€™ve needed a axe to cut.
you couldnโ€™t help but peek at aaron from the side of your eye. you quickly looked forward when you accidentally made eye contact. he sighed quietly after. you hated how badly you had to clench your fist to prevent yourself from latching it onto his.
haider broke the silence. he asked warner if he would be attending the continental symposium. you and juliette only knew briefly about it. no one ever mentioned the nature of the event to either of you.
but when juliette inferred haider about it, you both realized how big the event was.
โ€œi wasnโ€™t sure whether youโ€™d both attend since the late supreme commander anderson has never attended public gathering.โ€
โ€œweโ€™ll both very much be there.โ€ you add in quickly.
โ€œof course, we arenโ€™t hiding from the world,โ€ juliette adds in, โ€œwhen will it be?โ€
haiderโ€™s eye slightly widened as if she asked an incredulous question. but it made sense after he revealed it would be in two days. he innocently answered, but you knew he was satisfied having caught juliette off guard.
โ€œitโ€™s really my fault for that. julietteโ€™s been so diligent with managing all other issues i thought it would be better if i took it off her shoulderโ€™s and handled it. but silly me, iโ€™d forgotten to keep her posted on the date.โ€
you jumped in with an excuse to defend your sister because even if you two werenโ€™t on good terms, you wouldnโ€™t let someone try to toy with her.
juliette looks to you grateful for the help, and you give her a small smile in return.
aaron added in, โ€œsheโ€™s right, weโ€™re finalizing the program with delalieu today, who is hard at work planning the details.โ€
you give his hand a tight squeeze as a โ€˜thank youโ€™. but as you try to let go, aaronโ€™s hand engulfs your tightly to stop you. you try to wiggle your hand a little, but eventually it it be.
you bite the inside of your cheek to keep you from smiling.
aaron asks haider for his plans during the remainder of his stay. he mentions catching up with old friends then goes on to say juliette and you mustโ€™ve received numerous invitations from the other kids of supreme commanders.
โ€œwe havenโ€™t gotten the whole group together in far too long,โ€ haider says.
you raise a brow, โ€œwhole group? just how many of you are there?โ€
suddenly everyone stops as haiderโ€™s demeanor goes from unauthentic sincerity to ice cold. it almost scares you.
he harshly grabs aaronโ€™s arm,wretching your hands apart, and pulls him forward. haider asks angrily if heโ€™s shared little to nothing about โ€˜themโ€™ with you.
โ€œyou turn your back on us for this โ€” this child? how stupid could you be? you have to know it wonโ€™t end well, i promise you that.โ€
โ€œhey! let go.โ€ you protest.
haider scoffs and ignores you. โ€œi thought it couldnโ€™t be true youโ€™d fallen for a psychotic girlโ€™s insignificant freak sister. i defended you, just to find out it all true. what the hell happened to you?โ€
youโ€™d had enough shoved him away with your gift, hard enough to cause him to stumble back a little.
haider was stunned by the sudden force then notices the red aura from your hand.
โ€œwhat did you just do?โ€
you shrug, โ€œhow could a child like me do something? but if you touch him like that again youโ€™ll end up just like the last supreme commander. i promise you that.โ€
โ€œis that a threat?โ€
โ€œwhy donโ€™t you find out?โ€
haider laughs, almost delighted by the fact you threatened to basically kill him. everyone else unintentionally lets out a breathe they didnโ€™t know they were holding, especially juliette who had been ready to intervene.
haider requested to speak with aaron alone, promising to keep his hands to himself. you and aaron shared a look, and you knew heโ€™d be alright. he gives you a smile that was made for you, and you return it.
the fight from the say before was long forgotten. you knew no matter how many fights youโ€™d have, youโ€™d do almost anything for him.
part of you still hoped for a grand apology, but this would be more than enough. now, you hoped to eventually make amends with the other two.
you walked off, not quite sure the destination. you figured you might as well go on a walk yourself since the planned one got disrupted. but a hand grabbed your arm to stop you.
โ€œhey, uhm,โ€ itโ€™s julietteโ€™s voice, โ€œdo you think we could talk? i mean..later because weโ€™re all so busy and obviously you have stuff to do-โ€œ
โ€œyeah.โ€ you smile, โ€œiโ€™d like that.โ€
you both share heartfelt grins. you wave at kenji and nazeera from your spot and walk back toward the base. this time, with a happier kick in your step.
a good few steps in โ€” you felt it, an abrupt change in the environment. it was almost too eerie, and you realized there was no one in sight, not even the guards who are meant to follow you from a generous distance.
you came to the conclusion it was no accident when the first shot punctured your shoulder. the second through your side.
you scream in agony to as you attempt to flee from the open, but more bullets ensue. you manage to block a few with your energy, but the pain was painful enough to leave some to hit your busy, such as your thigh. but the one that made you topple over was a bullet near the chest, in almost the same spot anderson once shot you.
you managed to block it before it was a fatal hit, but it hit you enough to be painful and draw blood.
you were half conscious, the world foggy and blurry in your eyes. you felt someone approach you and kneel down to tower over your defenseless body. a sudden pressure on your neck woke you up enough to understand this person was choking you to kill you.
you used whatever energy you had left to try and push the person off of you. the lack of oxygen and the increase of black spots made it hard for you to focus on pushing the person off.
your adrenaline kicked in to created enough power to get the man off of you. as soon as he groan in pain, you started to feebly crawl away from the perpetuator. your blood likely dragging on the concrete now. but they composed fast, and grabbed onto your ankle. you fid what you could and grabbed the nearest rock and hit them on the head with it. but ir wasnโ€™t enough to stop them from grabbing you again.
at that point you were worn out, too tired to even move a muscle. the loss of blood was starting to make you woozy, and the bullets seemed far more painful than you remembered. you couldnโ€™t register you were on the verge of death.
but the pressure on your neck never returned. instead came the noises of violent punches and broken bones. a new person crouched beside you, you knew they meant you no harm as they assessed your wounds and chanted assuring words.
in your deliriousness, you babbled on about how they looked like your friend kenji, one whom you fought with and missed so much.
โ€œiโ€™m sure your friend misses you too.โ€ kenji responds, doing his best to keep you awake.
you blacked when another person, stronger than the first, carefully carried you and rushed toward the base.
in the medical bay, you were in and out of consciousness. you remember sara and sonya hurriedly tending you, kenji freaking out in the back, and aaron worriedly beside you. your first thought was, โ€˜whereโ€™s juliette?โ€™
unbeknownst to you at the time, juliette was getting her wounds treated as well. she had been shot too, but not nearly as fatal as you. she was caught off guard alone as well, but her attacker only aimed to disable her. nazeera had been near by when she heard the commotion and saved her.
juliette was shot moments before you, and aaron believed it was worked as a distraction so your assailant could successfully kill you.
kenji was the one to find you. after juliette had been injured, he went to find you and arrived in the nick of time.
it took almost two days before you could wake up fully without passing out every minute. the first face you saw was aaron โ€” who was already at your beside, holding your hand tightly โ€” almost like he was praying.
when he noticed youโ€™d woken up, his face became relaxed. he pecked you on the lips before badgering you with questions about your state. you assured him you were alright, and had to repeat it over and over.
your body still ached greatly due to the poison laced in the bullets sara and sonya explained to you. your wounds were healed, but there were still possibility of hallucinations from the poison.
after asking for your sister, sara had informed you of her situation, but quickly told you she was alright after seeing your worried eyes.
the culprits had been caught and sent to the holding cells, but they had refused to cooperate. meaning there was zero information on who was behind both your attacks.
aaron was monitoring you intently, when you sat up he rushed to help. he hadnโ€™t stopped holding onto you since you woke up, as if youโ€™d disappear if he let go. his eyes were red-rimmed, but you didnโ€™t comment on it.
you felt bad for giving him a near-death scare again, and berated yourself for leaving yourself vulnerable. even worse, since your sister had also been hurt. aaron put the blame on himself for leaving you unattended.
no matter what you said, warner seemed distraught. his eyes told you there was more to the issue, he was holding back. as he remembered what the issue was, he grew distant. his grip on your hand loosened.
โ€œis everything okay?โ€
โ€œas long as youโ€™re okay, amor.โ€ he smiles but it doesnโ€™t reach his eyes. โ€œi have to speak with you about something.โ€
โ€œabout what?โ€
โ€œnot here. letโ€™s get you out of here and cleaned up before we talk.โ€
you nod. you were more than ready to get out the the med bay. your thoughts went to the coming symposium, with you and juliette being temporarily mia, there was likely a plethora of things still needed to get done.
you were happy to finally get a chance to shower. the grime and blood were now down the drain. once done, you changed and went back into your room where aaron was waiting.
before he could get a word in, you embraced him tightly, and he didnโ€™t hesitate to hold you. after almost dying, you just wanted the comfort of aaron. kenji would call you crazy for putting โ€˜comfortโ€™ and โ€˜aaronโ€™ in the same sentence.
you kiss him, after whatโ€™s felt like forever. itโ€™s not fiery or rushed, but deliberate and emotional. everything was gone from your surrounding for a moment, it was just the two of you. you felt safe. but then aaron pulled away from you, and held onto your hands.
โ€œamor, i need to tell you something. itโ€™s important.โ€ his eyes are looking at everywhere but you.
โ€œyou can tell me anything.โ€ you reassure.
he takes a deep breath, running a hand through his blonde hair. your nerves begin to spike, youโ€™ve never seen aaron so hesitant to speak, heโ€™s almost scared.
โ€œiโ€™ll start from the beginning.โ€
and he did. he told you the start of the reestablishment, their campaigns, ideals, and plans to take over. then, he shifts to the โ€˜unnaturalโ€™sโ€™ and how after they were discovered, they were exploited by the reestablishment.
aaron tells you about two girls who were willingly given over to the reestablishment to be experimented and tested on. you were getting confused on where the conversation was going.
โ€œaaron, why are you explaining all this?โ€
โ€œbecause one of those girls is juliette.โ€
you didnโ€™t know what to say, you were thrown into a loop you still werenโ€™t fully comprehending.
โ€œi donโ€™t understand..โ€
โ€œthe parents you lived with werenโ€™t your biological ones. y/n, youโ€™re both adopted.โ€
your reality was warped in a matter of seconds. you never felt connected to your โ€˜parentsโ€™, but finding out you came from a different family?
โ€œw-waitโ€ฆ so the people juliette and i lived with for almost our entire lives arenโ€™t our parents?โ€ aaron nods.
โ€œso where are our biological parents? are they alive? waitโ€ฆ whoโ€™s the other girl you mentioned before?โ€
your head was jumbled up, you were trying to get so many answering at once while still trying to process.
aaron closes his eyes for a second before the green is visible again. โ€œthat other girl is julietteโ€™s sister. but itโ€™s not you, amor. you and juliette are not biologically related.โ€
you were frozen, as if time itself had stopped. you free from aaronโ€™s hands and distance yourself. everything had change.
aaron keeps speaking, saying he only knew of julietteโ€™s real sister and parents and sister until recently. castle was the one who told him the information to put the pieces together. castle was the one who urged him to tell you because the reestablishment was was coming, very soon.
โ€œthere was no record of you before you were adopted, i had always assumed it was only juliette adopted. it was only after you came here and i ran your dna, along with julietteโ€™s, did i find yours different from your parents.โ€
juliette wasnโ€™t actually your sister. the parents and girl you grew up with arenโ€™t related to you at all. everytime you talked to aaron about were grateful for juliette as a sister, he knew the truth the whole time.
it took you five minute of speak again. you didnโ€™t care for the rest at the moment, you still had to have another question of yours answered.
โ€œif julietteโ€™s biological parents work for the reestablishment, where are mine?โ€
โ€œi swear, i had no idea-โ€œ
โ€œplease. just tell me.โ€
the more you heart, the more your heart shatters. to stay and watch over sector 45 while his father left to the capital, anderson had him prove himself. it started with emmaline, julietteโ€™s real sister. he was in charge of her imprisonment and torture. but then his father sent him one more task before he was supreme commander.
anderson transported a man and woman to sector 45, aaron was commanded to get information, by any means, out of them. it went on for a year, until anderson saw no value in keeping them anymore.
his father ordered a public execution, and aaron did as he was told. only when finding a journal of his father just hours before you woke up did he get the identity of those people. your parents.
it was the final straw to send you spiraling. you donโ€™t know if you got on the floor or started yelling first. aaron knelt down next to you, trying to soothe you, but it was only making it worse.
you donโ€™t even feel the tears are running down your face. aaron apologizes over and over saying, no matter how many times you told him to stop. you could only keep saying โ€˜why?โ€™ over and over.
โ€˜why did you keep this from me?โ€™
โ€˜why didnโ€™t you tell me sooner?โ€™
when aaron tried holding you, you roughly shoved him away. his touch no longer felt loving. instead, it became poisonous.
โ€œdonโ€™t touch me.โ€
โ€œamor, please. i love you, so much.โ€
โ€œyou donโ€™t know how to love anyone. youโ€™re a fucking coward.โ€
the room was suffocating you. you felt trapped and had to get out of there. you got up and booked it out the door, not stopping when aaron called out your name.
you keeping running and let your legs guide you to your destination. the moment you spotted the white door, you came to a halt.
you barge in with no warning, startling the two people in the room. you take big step toward your target and, without hesitation, you slap castle.
โ€œoh my godโ€” what the hell, y/n!โ€
kenjiโ€™s presence does nothing to stop you, โ€œdid you have your kicks keeping secrets from us this entire time?โ€
castle sighs, now unphased by your violence, โ€œi assume warner told you.โ€
โ€œwe trusted you! and all you did was keep us in the dark about our own fucking life!โ€
โ€œwhat the hell is going on?โ€
โ€œdoes juliette know?โ€
โ€œi talked to her not long before warner went to you.โ€
โ€˜oh god,โ€™ you thought. you worried that was the reason juliette has lacked to see you since youโ€™ve woken up.
โ€œmiss ferrars, it was not my intention to cause pain to your or your sisโ€” juliette.โ€
his error struck a nerve, โ€œno, but it was your intention to be a liar and snake, screw you.โ€
you stormed out in a rage, not before doing a 180 on castleโ€™s desk. you hoped heโ€™d have the worst time cleaning up.
you ran. out of his office and out of the compound. away from it all. you finally stopped after being knee-deep into a forest.
not caring for your surroundings, you sat down on the nearest large rock. it was then you realized how much energy you exhausted. you took in deep breaths to regain your breathing stability. the oxygen filled your lung helped to calm you down for the first time in the past hour.
with no one around, you finally had the time to think straight without anger and despair clouding your judgement. you werenโ€™t even sure if you could exhaust anymore tears.
but it turned out you did. going through the events of the past hour, didnโ€™t help with processing as you thought it would. it only made you relive the heart-ache.
took half an hour to calm down your sobbing. but it was oddly comforting doing it in a place no one would hear you.
you decided didnโ€™t wanna focus on everything you learned. not on aaron. not on being adopted. not on juliette not being your sister. not on your parents being dead before you got the chance to meet them.
you focused on what you could control โ€” the coming continental symposium. it would be in less than a day. you had nothing prepared, not even attire; much less a speech.
you had no idea how you could show up and presume your personality from before. how could you face the supreme commander kids in a state like this? your thoughts wondered to juliette on what her plan would be. but then it hit you; how was juliette handling it?
when you thought about it, you hadnโ€™t seen her all day. she didnโ€™t see you when you woke up, nor before you and aaron talked. she likely didnโ€™t take this news lightly, especially regarding her sister.
thinking about juliette having a sister, that wasnโ€™t you, was painful. your bond wouldnโ€™t be the same. you werenโ€™t blood, juliette no longer had a reason to stand by your side.
despite telling yourself not to, you thought back to warner. his betrayal hurt deeper than castleโ€™s. how could you trust him again? you couldnโ€™t. it was over.
time passed like nothing being amongst nature. the once light blue sky, turned orange with pink hues, signaling the end of the day. you knew you couldnโ€™t hide forever. you had to find juliette.
if your theory was right then juliette was not in her room. you brainstormed possible locations when you bumped into kenji.
โ€œy/n? thank god, everyoneโ€™s been worried about where you went, and julietteโ€”โ€œ
โ€œwhere juliette? i need to see her now.โ€
โ€œy/nโ€ฆ warner told me everything. i know it must be hard for you both, but i think typu both need some spacโ€”โ€œ
you snap, โ€œjust tell me where she is kenji!โ€
โ€œsheโ€™s not in the best state.โ€
โ€œtake me to her. now.โ€
kenji reluctantly leads you to the door of andersonโ€™s office. when you saw it was locked, you pounded on the wood relentlessly.
โ€œcโ€™mon, letโ€™s just go.โ€ kenji persists.
โ€œjuliette! open the door!โ€
โ€œgo away.โ€
โ€œjuliette, please let me in. i wanna talk.โ€
โ€œi donโ€™t wanna speak to you.โ€
โ€œwell, i do.โ€
โ€œyouโ€™re not my real sister, so leave me alone!โ€
โ€œfine,โ€ you scoff, โ€œhopefully you treat your new sister a lot better than your treating me right now.โ€
โ€œfuck you.โ€
โ€œfuck you too!โ€ you throw back.
โ€œโ€ฆbad time to say i told you so?โ€
you rolled your eyes at kenjiโ€™s remark and walk away. your anger resurged, and you needed somewhere to blow off steam. training room had been unfortunate to be your victim.
when you saw no one in sight, you took it as a sign to proceed. in a matter of seconds, objects where tossed across the room through your levitation. weights were scattered, some broken, benches were bent out of shape, even a few treadmills werenโ€™t so kindly spared. youโ€™d feel bad about the damage later, but it felt so good in that moment to get angry.
it was dark outside when your adrenaline was closing to nothing. your only had energy to sit on a mat laid across the floor. you figured youโ€™d take a quick power nap before going back to your room to sleep.
as soon as you closed you eyes, you were passed out. youโ€™d hadnโ€™t realized just how much of your energy you exerted.
aaron warner was getting back from his debriefing with delalieu, when the open door of the training room caught his eyes.
he was more than dismayed to see the damage done to what once was the training center. he was irritated that heโ€™d have to replace basically all equipment. aaron assumed there was violent fight that happened, but then his eyes fell upon your form sleeping soundly on the floor.
now, he was more impressed than annoyed at the damage done. he wouldโ€™ve been slightly proud of he wasnโ€™t the reason for you to lash out so brutally.
aaron picked up your limp body in his arms, and carried you off to bed; taking advantage of holding you again. because he wasnโ€™t sure the next time heโ€™d be able to.
you were disoriented after waking up in your room, wondering how you ended up in your room when youโ€™d fell asleep in the training room. you threw the possibly of sleeping walking to bed in, but then decides you didnโ€™t care much for finding out.
it had been much later than you anticipated, and you were surprised no one woke you up. you dressed swiftly and headed out the door, despite a dreading feeling brewing in your gut.
first stop was to find delalieu, who actually found you first. he informed you the arrival of the newest guests and listened as he listed name. you stopped when he uttered the word โ€˜lena.โ€™
โ€œlena? as in warnerโ€™s ex-girlfriend?โ€
delalieu says nothing, but his eyes are looking at the ground. โ€˜so thatโ€™s a yes.โ€™
great, you thought. you broke up less than twenty four hours ago and his ex already shows up.
then delalieu tells you juliette is already greeting guests, so your presence is not mandatory. he likely knows all of yesterdayโ€™s events, including your fight with her, so heโ€™s likely trying to prevent conflict before the symposium.
a stronger person wouldโ€™ve bitten the bullet and showed up anyway. but you werenโ€™t that stronger person today. you would take to chance to avoid people you didnโ€™t wanna see at any point.
perhaps it was a cowardโ€™s way, but you believed after everything, you were entitled to have at least one day.
you busied yourself in the office of your room; approving symposium plan and decor, looking through letters, and going through andersonโ€™s old files โ€” provided by delalieu.
kenji came to see you three hours before the symposium. you pretended to not here it the first couple times he knocked, but he was annoyingly persistent.
you werenโ€™t mad at kenji, he didnโ€™t know anything before you. but didnโ€™t mean seeing him was easy, his presence always reminded you of juliette. you three had always hung out. now he was stuck in the middle.
kenji told you nazeera wanted to speak with you, so you granted her permission to enter. nazeera was quick to her point and told you the reestablishmentโ€™s plan; destroying sector 45. she advised you and juliette presented yourself strong at the event, to show everyone youโ€™re a formidable enemy. plus, there was the possibility of sudden danger because of the plans the reestablishment had for juliette and you.
you found sudden danger was just always a given in your life.
you werenโ€™t sure how you and juliette could show up united, you both were at odds and still processing everything youโ€™ve been told. it would be nearly impossible to act as if nothing has changed.
were you even still supreme commander? you werenโ€™t sure you ever โ€˜unquitโ€™.
but, differences would have to be put aside. because everyone will be watching for your next move. and it may or may not lead to the demise of sector 45.
you missed just shooting and punching enemies.
kenji stuck around after nazeera left. you both discussed the danger to come. then, he filled you in on anything you missed, julietteโ€™s buzzcut, warner sulking, the new guests, and, your favorite, lena being humbled by juliette.
apparently, sheโ€™d been โ€˜eagerโ€™ to meet you and asked juliette about your whereabouts. she referred to you as an โ€˜ex-girlfriendโ€™ is what kenji told you. how she knew about the break up, you had no idea.
juliette looked her up and down before telling her you donโ€™t waste your time with other insignificant to you.
you couldnโ€™t help but laugh, maybe you were judging lena before knowing her, but based on that interaction; it told you enough.
once kenji left to get ready, you decided youโ€™d do the same.
your nerves spiked the closer it got time for the big event. you spent a good hour deciding what would be best to wear. you hadnโ€™t realized you relied on warner for fashion help until that moment.
you settled on a floor-length gown with beautiful embroidered and beaded details. you tried to avoid putting any accessories gifted to you by warner, but it was nearly impossible.
you attempted a makeup look, and you thought you did a pretty good job. and if not, kenji never frayed from being brutally honest to your face.
a guard knocked at your door to alert you that it was time. you cross your finger before exiting the room. time to face everyone youโ€™d been avoiding.
everyone who was to go to the symposium was gathered outside the base, awaiting the vehicle to take them to the meeting location. as expected, everyone was dressed formally.
warner was quick to spot you and hurriedly walked to you. you power walked to get away from him, and hopefully find someone you liked at the moment. but, nonetheless, he caught up to you.
โ€œi donโ€™t wanna talk to you.โ€
โ€œplease, amor. hear me out.โ€
warner pulls you close to him, holding your hands hostage at his chest. you look into his eyes, and you can see how tired he looks. heโ€™s hadnโ€™t slept well, and it was obvious.
โ€œwhat could you possibly have to say to me?โ€
โ€œwhat could i possibly not have to say to you?โ€
โ€œiโ€™m sure you rather entertain youโ€™re ex-girlfriend over day, glaring daggers to us.โ€
โ€œyou know thatโ€™s not true.โ€
โ€œdo i? i donโ€™t know anything thatโ€™s true lately.โ€
โ€œi love you. my hearts burns for you greatly, and a moment without you is one i canโ€™t bare.โ€
โ€œi donโ€™t want to hearโ€”โ€œ
โ€œmy heart has always been yours. iโ€™ll never be able to take back everything iโ€™ve done, but i refuse to lose you because of it.โ€
โ€œaaron.โ€
โ€œyou can scream or yell at me all you want, if it means youโ€™ll stay by my side.โ€
his forehead presses against yours. his eyes are focused on every feature of your face that hes already committed to memory.
โ€œsay you forgive me, amor.โ€ he whispers so vulnerably.
you want to kiss him. you want everything to be magically better after. you want to believe this is another challenge you both can overcome.
but you canโ€™t. at least no so soon.
youโ€™re holding back tears, but aaron already has one going down his face.
โ€œi canโ€™t.โ€ you distance yourself from warner. โ€œevery time i see you, iโ€™m reminded of your betrayal. reminded how much heart-ache youโ€™ve caused me. it canโ€™t be so easily forgotten, aaron. not when i still love you so much.โ€
you were thankful to be distracted when the guards informed you the rides were here. but your thoughts switched as you noticed youโ€™d have to be enclosed with aaron, juliette, and kenji for fifteen minutes, especially when you had to sit next to warner because juliette was just as mad at him as well.
you the were first out given the chance. you were overwhelmed by the amount of people who showed. thinking about juliette and you having to speak in-front of them all was intimidating. and likely all of them hoped for your demise. fun.
now, juliette took the podium, and you were next to her. you two have yet to discuss anything, so youโ€™ll have to wing your speech to match the tone of hers.
but before she could start, the chaos begins. numerous people being protesting and berating both you & juliette and sector 45.
it was all getting jumbled, but there were various โ€˜traitorsโ€™, โ€˜youโ€™re just children!โ€™, and โ€˜freaks.โ€™
to defend juliette, you move to the microphone and angrily demand everyone to quiet down, you do your best to yell over the voices rioting.
out of nowhere, the stage youโ€™re standing on explodes. youโ€™re both launched ten or more feet back. then chaos ensues.
theres a ringing in your ear, making it hard to hear anything; only you witness it all from the ground. people running left and right, the stage was now on fire, and men in uniform started invading the premises.
you see juliette lying on the ground not too far from you. you croak her name, then aaronโ€™s and kenjiโ€™s, but youโ€™re not sure if youโ€™re even using your vocals.
you feel yourself being dragged away, youโ€™re unmoving. you feel numb, not able to identify which parts of you are injured.
itโ€™s all happening on slow motion in your vision.
you can see the same happening to juliette. with your head above the ground you see a new perspective. you finally see your friends, some are lying motionless, others are running.
you find kenji helping others escape and aaron with him taking down as many guards. then aaron spots you being dragged away, and his eyes widen. heโ€™s on the move to reach for you, but his distraction leaves an opening for a soldier to take him down from behind.
it takes five soldiers to hold him down, heโ€™s yelling your name, and you donโ€™t react. they finally hand cuff him, not wasting a moment to inject him with something strong enough to incapacitate him.
kenji follow the same fate, not being able to get away invisible before nazeera knocks him out.
a man stands in front of you, blocking you from seeing the scene. you recognize the black expensive boots immediately.
โ€œseems we both have a habit of not staying dead.โ€
anderson lunges the barrel of the pistol against your head โ€” then it all went black.
you were so sick of seventeen.

aaron warner x ferrars!reader
hcs about being julietteโ€™s sister and aaron being enamoured by you.
(taken place during shatter me /some of unravel me)ย 
Tumblr media
a/n: this is a borderline fic, but i used bullet points so iโ€™m labeling it as hcs (LOL). i use the hayden fancast, but feel free to envision aaron as you want. reader and juliette arenโ€™t biologically related but both adopted & grew up together thinking they were related by blood. youโ€™ll likely being seeing me use juliette more than ella bc i prefer it and confuses less. readers powers similar to emmaline, but differs. (heavily took inspo from jean grey & wanda maximoff)ย  timeline changes a bit. also i donโ€™t exactly know/remember how school worked during the book so iโ€™m just going by my own experiences LMAO. lmk if you are interested in a part 2!
word count: 9.6k
warnings: mentions of mental and physical abuse, gun violence, mentions of injuries and blood, some swearing, long backstory, grammar errors and spelling mistakes
Tumblr media
you and juliette were the same age; you were younger by a few months. however, due to how close your birthdays were, your โ€œparentsโ€ decided you both would be played off as twins to yourselves and everyone else. of course, growing up you did see the differences in appearance between you and juliette, but your parents assured you it was due to being fraternal twins.ย 
you both were very close sisters; you shared a small bedroom in your home. facing the abuse from both your parents brought you even closer. you both shared your thoughts, secrets, feelings, and anything else with each other. anytime your parents shouted at you, hit you, or berated you, juliette was there with open arms to comfort you - telling you it would be okay. even tho she wasnโ€™t sure herself.ย  you returned the favor vice versa.ย 
similar to juliette, you also discovered you had a curse gift at a young age. instead of a lethal touch, however, you were gifted with the ability of mental manipulation. you began to discover the nature of your ability when voices that werenโ€™t your own, were suddenly heard in your head whenever you neared another person. being only 6, you thought you were going insane and tried to confide in your mother. she did not take well to this and scolded you for being a liar and attention seeker. she urged you never to mention this to anyone ever, or else you would be seen as a psycho freak and bring shame to the family.ย 
after that, you were too ashamed to even mention it to juliette, afraid she would react negatively too. eventually, you were able to piece together that the voices were actually the thoughts of others. you hated your gift; it felt like an invasion of other's privacy. you would never want someone to listen to your every thought, so why should you listen to people's. it was even worse, you couldnโ€™t control it to prevent the unwarranted thoughts. you did what you could to try to avoid reading minds, luckily, being an outcast had its advantages because if people remained far enough, you werenโ€™t able to hear their minds. you were cautious around juliette because you would never want to take advantage of the privacy of her mind.ย 
even before the accident that revealed julietteโ€™s gift, you both were never popular among your peers. your shy personalities made most assume you were just weirdos, and as a kid, thatโ€™s the worst possible title to have when you wanna make friends. of course, there was a boy named adam kent who was occasionally kind to you both, but you could tell his interest was more focused on juliette. based on a few thoughts of julietteโ€™s you unintentionally listened to - you knew she was forming a small crush on adam.
at one point, you were able to conjure a friend of your own during one recess. you noticed a girl in your grade, sabrina, crying behind the slide on an afternoon, and found out the reason for her distress was a bad grade on a math assignment. while sabrina didnโ€™t tell you directly, you were able to piece together the strictness of her parents based on her thoughts. you felt sympathetic towards her, you knew how harsh parents could be on school grades. it was then you offered to help her with her assignments to prevent her from failing. the girl seemed reluctant at first, and her mind was filled with not-so-nice thoughts on you & juliettes reputation, but finally, she accepted your offer.ย 
sabrinaโ€™s thoughts on you were pretty negative the first few times you got together to study, she was embarrassed to be seen hanging with you, and she didnโ€™t want to get a bad reputation among the class too.ย  as you hung out more, you partnership turned into a real friendship. she sat with you for a few minutes at lunch before returning to her own group, and you were invited to her house to hang out on a few occasions. sometimes like juliette, you did your best to turn a blind eye to her thoughts for the sake of her privacy - this was your first official friend, and you didnโ€™t wanna mess it up.ย 
however, you did mess it up in the end. you and sabrina were friends for almost a whole school year, and you truly believed she was your best friend. any negative thoughts she had originally were nowhere to be found and replaced with mundane ones about school, family, hobbies, etc. at this point, you were still struggling to learn the extent of your abilities and having no one to confide in really affected you. you decided you could trust sabrina with your secret, and maybe just maybe, she wouldnโ€™t hate you, and you could grow even closers as best friend.ย 
you were totally, indefinitely, absolutely wrong. when you confessed your mind-reading capabilities to sabrina, she laughed at you, thinking you were joking, however, after you proved her wrong by reciting phrases, word by word, spoken in her mind, she flipped out. she called you every synonym to the word freak she could come up with and ran away from you. to make matters worse she told her friends about your ability, imploring them to stay away too. of course, you were already labeled a weirdo, so why wouldnโ€™t they believe the weirdo is actually weird. it spread to the entirety of the school which caused everyone to distance themselves from you even more. no one could trust a mind reader, much less have them as a friend when they could read your every thought.ย 
juliette was quick to confront you at home, in your shared bedroom, about the rumors that spread. you were quicker to break down and confess the rumors were true, how horrible having this ability has been, and the betrayal of your best friend. you thought juliette would also be disgusted with you and make a demand to our parents that you should be sent away and stay very far from her. the fears you had were shut down the moment juliette hugged you tightly and told you she loved you anyway and that she was here to support you in any way she could.ย 
after you calmed down a bit, you went on to explain your gift, how you found out, and how you felt alone in this whole mess. you were also quick to add on how you did your best to stray from listening in on any thoughts juliette had. your sister assured you she thought no less of you, and it wasnโ€™t your fault you had this gift. she even joked about how she needs to remember to not think about any birthday gifts around you. you let out a soft laugh and were eternally grateful you had such an amazing and understanding sister.ย 
it wasnโ€™t a shock that soon your parents soon became aware of what everyone at school was saying about you - you were sure it had already spread throughout the town. they berated you for causing embarrassment and shame to your family. unlike juliette, they treated you with disgust, making sure you knew how much of a disappointment you were. next thing you knew, you were pulled out of school for a few weeks, being homeschooled instead. if you didnโ€™t have the comfort of juliette in your room, you wouldโ€™ve been incredibly lonely in your isolation.ย 
it didn't end there however; you were sent to multiple therapists. your parents hoped it could help โ€œcureโ€ you of your โ€œdisease,โ€ as they liked to call it. you tried multiple types of therapies, even electroshock, when your parents were especially desperate. it was a complete physical and mental torture and made you resent yourself for your gift even more. you werenโ€™t able to see juliette as often, a few times a month if you were lucky. you wanted nothing more than her warm embrace and reassuring words.ย 
the final straw for your parents was when juliette accidentally killed a young boy with her touch. many believe it was done purposely, even though she was only trying to save that boy. your parents were even more horrified at this point. not only did they have one freak of nature daughter, they now had two.ย 
you and juliette were both taken away and sent to scientists to be studied and tested on from then on. they experimented on you constantly and tied you down to the lab bed to prevent you from moving. you were beginning to prefer the therapies. hearing julietteโ€™s yells of pain from the table next to yours made you want to kill hurt the scientists badly. it was worse when you knew from their thoughts they had no remorse either but were heavily fascinated with both of your guysโ€™ abilities.ย  it hurt you to know your sister was going through the same thing, and it infuriated you how they treated you both like wild animals. neither of you asked to be born with this curse.ย 
eventually, you and your sister were both sent to the asylum quickly after that. while the events that brought you here were poor, you were grateful to share a room and be close to your sister again, even in a hell like that. juliette, however, didn't allow you too near her - afraid she would hurt you as well. you tried to reassure her that sheโ€™s never hurt you in any way, and that sheโ€™s touched you before the accident, but she didnโ€™t want to risk it. you understood, if you thought there was even just a chance you would hurt and possibly kill juliette, you wouldnโ€™t take it.ย 
nonetheless, you still did your best to comfort each other in the harsh environment. it was still hard to be happy in the asylum; the treatment didnโ€™t differ much from home. still seen as weird freaks by guards. when the morale was low, you did your best to bring up any happy memories the two of you shared, and juliette would let a small smile grow on her face here and there. however, you couldnโ€™t help but grow lonelier and a bit insane as the days passed. you were too distraught with your own thoughts to really listen in on juliettes, but from bits, you heard you were able to piece this place was also affecting her mentally.ย 
it was after 264 days (juliette made sure to keep track of the days they were there) that the guards brought in another prisoner, more specifically, a man. you thought this was a cruel joke from the guards; why would they add someone else to those closed spaces.
while you were against listening to the thoughts of others without their knowledge, you needed to make sure this guy wasnโ€™t going to be a threat to you or juliette. however, you heard nothing. no thoughts, no images, no voice - it was silent. you were stunned; this was the first time you havenโ€™t been able to read someone's mind. you probably wouldโ€™ve been happy if it werenโ€™t for the fact you actually wanted to know this guyโ€™s thoughts.ย 
adam, you learned your roommateโ€™s name was, was an asshole the first few nights. it started when, without even saying anything, he took over both yours and julietteโ€™s beds for himself, even taking what little blanket and pillows you had. you protested immediately and got up to try and take back your beds, but juliette pulled on your shirt, reeling you back. she insisted the fight wasnโ€™t worth it. you gave in, but still insisted to adam he at least gave you a blanket so you both didnโ€™t freeze to death. he gave you a deep glare but relented anyway.ย 
those nights you and juliette would huddle in a corner to try your best to sleep, using what you could spare of the blanket to separate juliette from touching you directly. you whispered to juliette about how you couldnโ€™t read his mind, and she seemed as stumped as you were.
adam eventually gave you a bed back so you could sleep a bit comfier. you thanked him, even though he shouldnโ€™t have taken it in the first place, but wanted to remain peaceful. juliette insisted you both help him adjust to the routine here to return the favor. he began to try to press on any backstory about you and juliette, and juliette often responded for the both of you, never giving much information. she also was adamant he seemed quite familiar, but she didnโ€™t know why.
the three of you became somewhat friends, and it wouldโ€™ve been nicer if you all werenโ€™t stuck in a hell hole. still, you and juliette was able to learn more about the current world through adam; things seemed to be darker than they were 3 years ago. you could sense adam and juliette were forming an unspoken attachment, but you never pressed juliette on it. some nights you would try to go to bed early to give them the privacy to talk.ย 
you were startled awake one morning by the sound of yelling and guards entering the cell. you turned to juliette to question her on what was happening, but before she could even form a response, you were both pulled roughly by guards and pushed on the ground. they yelled at you to not move or speak, but you still called out to your sister and tried to reach her - which got you a horrible kick to the ribs. you donโ€™t remember much, only vaguely hearing some yelling from adam. before your vision went black.ย 
the next time you woke up, you were, once again, in what seemed a prison cell. after gaining little strength to sit up, you found juliette next to you - barely waking up herself. you threw each other worried glances, and she mouthed to you it was going to be alright. but you knew from her mind she was already panicking as well.ย 
the door opened behind you, but you were still a little out of it and too focused on juliette to look as quickly as she did. suddenly her face looked like she saw a ghost. you threw a confused glance to, which she ignored, so you followed your line of vision - adam. based on his attire matching the other guards that entered the room, you knew that meant he was working with them. both sisters were heavily confused about what was going on, but adam was quick to demand that the two of you get up, threatening you with the gun in his hand.ย 
you both were led to a dark room that suddenly filled with light after you walked in. before your vision could adjust to the light again, a voice called out to the guards to bring you and juliette closer - this prompt them to shoved you with the butt of their guns.ย 
first thing you noticed was that a man sat before you on a folding chair. the man couldnโ€™t have been that much older than you - he was tall, maybe 6โ€ฒ0 ft, give or take, he had a head full of golden blonde wavy hair, his attire seemed that of a general (decorated with different medallions), and his eyes were a piercing green. he looked straight out of a victorian painting; he was surreal to look at. his presence gave that it demanded respect, and based on the fearful thoughts of the soldiers behind you, he always got it. he was gorgeous intimidating.ย 
you noticed a name tag on his attire - warner, it said.ย 
โ€œferrars sisters, we meet at last.โ€ย 
you and juliette remained silent, still not fully understanding what was happening. he leaned closer toward you two, and without even thinking, you stepped in front of your sister. this seemed to intrigue warner, making a crooked smile on his lips.ย 
he continued anyway - going on to explain adamโ€™s role in the asylum. but as soon as you heard the word kent - you put it together and knew juliette had done the same. adam was the same boy from all the years ago - the one juliette constantly thought of to this day. it took everything in you to not turn to adam at that moment. you knew this betrayal was affecting juliette as well.
not waiting for your reactions, warner went on to say he had a proposition for the both of you to join the reestablishment. you then learned he knew about the abilities you both have; he had been studying the two of you for years.ย 
creep, you thought. but after a wide-eyed glance from juliette and a painful kick to the back from the soldier behind you, you realized you had said that aloud. warner gave a stern look your way, but saw a small glint in his eyes. maybe it was just in your head.ย 
warner still went on to say how you could put your abilities to use in the reestablishment, but you knew he meant that juliette could torture people while you could always know what someone was thinking - seek out any traitors.ย 
you were furious with this situation and the fact warner seemed to think you two would want to hurt people willingly just because you had gifts. you spoke before you even realized it, โ€œoh, iโ€™m just dying to join the reestablishment after theyโ€™ve isolated juliette and i and studied us like we were animals.โ€
you were once again kicked, but this time to the ground - juliette even shouted at the guard a bit in protest. warner held up his hand to say it was enough. as you were getting up (agonizingly), you show warner getting up from his chair and walking closer to you.ย 
when he stood a foot or two in front of you, he stared at you intensely. you just wanted to crawl into a corner at that moment, his pale emerald eyes made you feel like he could see through you. you then registered another thing. you couldnโ€™t read his mind either.
juliette decided to speak up this time, โ€œwhat my sister means, is that we have no interest in joining you.โ€ย 
warners gaze seemed disappointed at this. he glanced at juliette before looking back at you, โ€œyouโ€™re choosing the wrong side here.โ€ย 
you both were then sent off, adam being the main guard for juliette and another guard for you. (kishimoto you think his name tag said.)
you and juliette were demanded at dinner, and each brought a dress picked out by warner himself. you couldnโ€™t even deny the dress wasnโ€™t gorgeous, it was white, mermaid style, decorated and embroidered with pearls, subtle floral designs going all around it, some type of pendants in the middle with pearl strings draped - it was in simple, ethereal.ย 
now, you knew you shouldnโ€™t accept anything warner offers you - but the little girl in you who dreamed of a dress like this took over. you told yourself you were taking advantage of what was given, it wasnโ€™t going to persuade you.ย 
when it was time for dinner, you and juliette were again side by side, walking toward the dining room. the moment you saw each other, you both gasped and asked โ€œwhat are you wearing?โ€ you were shocked she was still in her attire from the asylum, and she was shocked you were wearing the dress given.ย 
after you both explained your reasoning, you laughed at how ridiculous you both looked in a side-by-side comparison. you quickly caught her on to the fact you couldnโ€™t read warner mind like adam, she was shocked and urged you to not let him know for your own safety. then you gave each other a comforting look to help brace yourselves for whatever was to come.ย 
warner was displeased at julietteโ€™s outfit, but seemed proud to see you were wearing what he requested. he scanned you up and down, making you shift from foot to foot nervously under his gaze. it didnโ€™t help you notice how he cleaned up as well - crisp white dress shirt, black dress pants with a black belt and a gold buckle, fancy black shoes, and a black tuxedo coat. you also took note of the rings on his hands, but especially a green one on his pinkie, which you think you saw him wear earlier too.ย 
you and juliette sat at dinner, juliette directly across from adam warner next to you. him next to you did not help your nervousness, it increased it tenfold.ย 
the food in front of you looked so delicious you could feel the saliva forming in your mouth. all you wanted to do was dig in, but hearing juliettes thoughts, you knew she was feeling the same but going to protest it regardless. as much as you love food, you loved your sister more, so you werenโ€™t going to feast no matter how much it pained you. and you knew juliette deeply appreciated it.ย 
when warner noticed this, he raised a brow, โ€œare you not going to eat?โ€ you nodded no and juliette responded, saying you both werenโ€™t hungry, which was a lie of course and warner knew this.ย 
juliette was better at pretending than you. you couldnโ€™t help but look at the food longingly every few minutes. you knew it was pathetic but you havenโ€™t eaten in days. the only thing you did give in to was water because if you were gonna starve you, you could at least prevent being dehydrated to death.ย 
from the side of your eye you saw warner holding back a smile, as if this was hilarious to him. suddenly, he picked up your fork and picked up a bit of the (what you assumed) meat from your plate, and you for a second, you thought he was going to eat it. but instead he held it up near your mouth. โ€œeat.โ€ย 
you face felt flush with heat, you knew you were red all over your face. โ€œwhat are you doing?โ€ were the only words you could form.ย 
โ€œsince you wonโ€™t eat willingly, i suppose iโ€™ll have to feed you myself, amor.โ€ his crooked smile was back and even wider. you wanted to die at that moment.ย 
you reluctantly took a bite after he showed no sign of backing down. you were deeply embarrassed feeling the gaze of everyone on you and warner; you couldnโ€™t even look him in the eye. you knew the smug bastard took enjoyment in feeding you.ย 
it didnโ€™t end after that, he did that for the entire meal, despite your many protests that you would do it yourself. even juliette followed suit in eating after a pleading look from adam. you could tell warner was pleased.
when dinner finished, warner had taken the task of walking you both back himself. he asked questions about your abilities, you both responded as vaguely as you could. he then asked you and her to showcase your gifts on him. you both profusely refuse, but he didnโ€™t accept that. so instead, he called one of his soldiers and demanded he removes his gloves - you knew from his thoughts he was terrified but still obeyed the order.ย 
thats when juliette ran off, you following behind before warner grabbed your arm tightly, stopping you. he started ordering his men to get her. it didnโ€™t take long for the soldiers to surround her, trapping you. the soldier ordered from before, jenkins, stood in front of juliette once more and, despite her begging, grabs her.ย 
heโ€™s immediately bent down in pain, screaming in agony. juliette was in what seemed like a trance, and she was having trouble letting go.
you made the haste decision to knee warner in the crotch and run off to juliette. you swiftly wrapped your arms around her and pulled her away with all your strength - making you both fall to the ground. you believed a good percent she wouldnโ€™t hurt you, but was still very relieved when no pain seemed to come.
when you turned to juliette she looked stunned but then passed out in your arms. you didnโ€™t realize your were crying when you shook julietteโ€™s body and repeated her name. or even when you shouted for help for the sake of both your sister and the poor guard nearly dead on the ground.ย 
warner (after recovering from your knee) pulled you away, trying to calm you by rubbing a hand on your back, but it only made you more furious.
you pushed him harshly back, though he barely reacted, and in a second, slapped him across the face. you angrily spewed out how he could do that to both your sister and the guard and called him nefarious names.
when you came down from your fit, you realized what you had just done and gasped, putting a hand over your mouth. while you hated warner at that moment, you knew he could kill you and juliette without a second thought. no one moved for a moment, you thought time was still. warner was looking so dangerously at you, you were starting to think you could die from it.ย 
without looking away, he told kent to tend to juliette, and that the rest of the men to clean up the mess and deal with jenkins. it was eventually just you and him in the hall. you suddenly found the ground very interesting. you were honestly scared.ย 
he grabbed your chin, making you look at him directly, โ€œyou were upset and acting rash, so iโ€™ll let you off this once. but the next time you try something like that, it wonโ€™t be so easily forgiven, amor.โ€ย 
you said nothing but gave a slight nod in response. he then walked you to your room, and bid you a good night.ย 
he turned around before leaving, โ€œdonโ€™t worry much about juliette, sheโ€™ll be alright. oh, and donโ€™t think iโ€™ve forgotten about your gift, i expect a demonstration very soon.โ€ he had another stupid smirk on his face before closing your room door. oh god, you were in trouble.ย 
he made an appearance in your room the next day, commanding asking you to join him on a walk. you knew it wasnโ€™t an actual question, so you got ready to go.ย 
you went outside, still on base grounds, and for a moment, you were shocked - you couldnโ€™t think of how long it had been since you were outside.ย 
โ€œwhat, never seen a tree before?โ€ย 
โ€œiโ€™d forgotten what they looked like.โ€ย 
you couldโ€™ve sworn you almost saw pity in his eyes, but it was quickly gone and replaced with his usual neutral face. he didnโ€™t respond and grabbed your arm to guide you on the walk.ย 
he never let you out of his grip, much to your disdain. he went on to say juliette was going to be fine, along with jenkins, the guard.ย 
throughout the walk anytime a soldier passed by, he asked you to tell him what they were thinking. you couldโ€™ve lied, but then again, you were honestly bad at lying. so you complied. a lot of it consisted of random thoughts like hunger, complaining about their job, some light gossip, and even a few uncomfortable ones about you. warner looked irritated when you told him the last one, but overall amazed at your gift.ย 
he mustโ€™ve thought you have somewhat control over hearing thoughts or not because he then gave you permission to read his thoughts. you didnโ€™t want him to know you couldnโ€™t, so you asked him to see juliette and remove the cameras in both of your rooms before you would do so.ย 
he thought about it for a moment, especially regarding the camera issue, but eventually relented and agreed. he took you straight to her room, walking side with you too.ย 
as soon as you saw her, you gave her a huge hug and asked how she was feeling. she wasnโ€™t used to being to someone close yet, so she tried to back away at first, but then returned the hug. ย 
ignoring warner still standing at the door, you both tried to think of an explanation for being immune to her touch, but couldnโ€™t come up with anything. but you both were mutually glad you could be physically close again without a barrier.ย 
warner interrupted your touching moment with his questions to juliette about the night before, to which she was angry he brought up again. you knew she still thought she killed jenkins, so you cut in to let her know he was fine (mostly). they both went back and forth for a bit before you had to say your goodbyes to juliettes, dragged away by warner to your own room.
after that, he did his other part of the agreement and got your guard, kenji, to do it. while the two of you didnโ€™t interact much, you knew he was better than the other guards assigned to you. he also often had thoughts that made you silently laugh when he wasnโ€™t looking.ย 
you also saw warner quite frequently, more than you thought you would it was becoming annoying to you. he would pop up in your room almost every day - when you were in bed, walking in the room, getting out of the bathroom, etc. there was even a time you had just gotten out of the shower with a towel around you and, low and behold, he was there on your bed, with his arms behind his head looking in your direction.
you shrieked and ran back into the bathroom, yelling at him to get out. he laughed in response, telling you he didnโ€™t mind the view, but let you know heโ€™ll wait outside your room.
when you returned to your bed, you noticed he had left something there, clothes. he even chose the undergarments. he had the audacity to pick out your outfit after coming unannounced. but... you did end up wearing it because, hey, the guy knows how to style.ย 
after noticing you wore what he put out, he made it his mission to pick an outfit for you every day, even if he wasnโ€™t physically there, he would send a guard with the clothes.ย 
it was annoying how good his fashion sense was because you deeply wanted to protest this and wear your own choice, but the clothes were just so pretty it was hard. you never had worn such expensive clothes before it felt nice to be able to now, even though you were basically a prisoner here. and you didnโ€™t need to hear his thoughts to know it made warner even cockier than normal when you wore the clothes.ย 
whenever warner visited you it was barely ever for anything important, mostly stupid questions about yourself as if he didnโ€™t know much of your life story. but when you tried to turn the tables and ask him personal things, he would answer vague or change the subject - even on the topic of his first name.
you saw juliette when you could, kenji was pretty lenient on it whenever you asked him to take you to her.ย 
the two of you discussed warner, the reestablishment, and when the topic of adam came up she admitted he could touch her as well, which was a big surprise. made you a little sad you werenโ€™t the only one special now. she explained how she found out, and also went on to say he hadnโ€™t betrayed you both and was going to help you and her escape. knowing there was a chance for escaping made it easier for you to live there.ย 
however, there were days that really made you hate warner - when he made you and juliette, witness him killing a man in person, showcasing you both like a brand new toy, his ruthless demeanor and unsympathetic nature towards others, etc. but the big one was the day he prepared some type of testing for you and juliette.ย 
both of you wearing a thin tank top and shorts, way more revealing than the two you were used to. the both of you uncomfortable from the stares it got from the guards. juliette was then taken into a different room from yours. you were led to a room; there wasnโ€™t much in it except a two-way mirror several feet in front of you. you assumed warner and others would-be behind there observing whatever they set up.ย 
you didnโ€™t know what was to come until dozens of guards began entering the room. as they came closer to you, you could hear all their different thoughts overlapping, getting louder, and overwhelming you.ย 
you guessed warner wanted to see howโ€™d you react with so many peopleโ€™s thoughts in the same room - if you were able to stop it altogether, stop some of it, or if it was overwhelming and made your head hurt, like in this moment.ย 
to an outsider, it was silent, but to you it was as if you were in a busy crowd walking by, hearing all the different types of conversations. you made another guess that warner told them prior to your ability, so to make sure they use their thought more than usual.ย 
you tried your best to focus, but it was getting to be too much that you started crouching down and holding your head. you closed your eyes and tried to concentrate on yourself. focus, try to make it stop, you told yourself. you could barely hear your own thought from all the noise of the others. stop. stop. please. be quiet. stop it.
โ€œstop! shut up!โ€ you shot up and yelled out, frustrated. it was quiet; you didnโ€™t hear anything. your relief was short-lived as your eyes went wide when saw everyone in the room was now crouched or kneeling down, holding their heads as they shouted out in pain.ย 
you didnโ€™t understand what happened; all you did was block them out. you did this, you realized you were hurting them.ย 
you looked around at everyone, trying to figure out how to help, but their pleas and begs for you to stop increasingly grew. you again couldnโ€™t think with everyone shouting at you in agony, it was much worse than when you only heard their thoughts.ย 
you tried to talk to them, โ€œiโ€™m sorry! i-i donโ€™t know what happened! iโ€™ll fix this! please, i just need a moment to think!โ€ you were quickly panicking and feeling like you were going to cry, burst, or both. a fire feeling was bubbling up inside of you.
you couldnโ€™t control it, your body took over, and you closed your eyes and let out a loud yell - falling down onto your knees.ย 
instantly, everyone and everything in the room was pushed by an invisible force serval feet back. the mirror separating you from the observers was also broken into hundreds of pieces.
you gasped, both hand covering your mouth as you saw the damage done. did you really do all of this? you didnโ€™t understand how it was possible. you backed against the wall, sliding down to sit on the floor and pulling up your knees to hug them.
during your breakdown, warner mustโ€™ve come out of the other room because he had come slowly walking toward you. you didnโ€™t want to be near anyone at that moment, much less the man responsible for this experiment. he didnโ€™t get too close before you put a hand out to tell him to stop, but instead, it accidentally sent him flying a foot or two back, resulting in him stumbling on his back to the floor.ย 
you again gasp, horrified. you hadnโ€™t even meant to do that. you felt like an out-of-control monster. unlocking a new ability shouldโ€™ve been fun, but this was too traumatizing for you.ย 
you buried your head into your knees and started sobbing, begging for this to all be a dream and that you didnโ€™t actually just hurt a ton of people with your powers. you felt like the star of the carrie movie.ย 
during all your crying, warner had gotten up again and kneeled beside you. you wouldโ€™ve been shocked he wanted to be near you again if you werenโ€™t so disoriented. he pulled you close to him, petting your hair in an attempt to soothe you. you were too physically and mentally exhausted to protest his comfort.ย 
it was all a blur when you were taken back to your room and tucked into bed by warner. you had no energy to change, shower, or even try to check on juliette. you blacked out before you knew it.ย 
juliette sought you out the next day; she also looked distressed. before she could even talk, you knew from mental images what had gone down. you held her close and cursed warner up and down for doing that to her. you were also astounded at her newfound ability. she asked about you, and you confided in her what had happened with your testing. similar to you she was bewildered to learn what else you could do.ย 
she brought up the topic of escaping again, and you were happy to jump on that topic. adam then walked into the room; you both greeted each other with a hug - you hadnโ€™t realized how long it had been since you saw or even interacted with each other. you three then divulged into possible ways to leave; the quicker the better. but you were interrupted when an alarm went off in the whole building, commanding all soldiers to gather. juliette urged adam to go to avoid suspicion.ย 
he hesitated, and in that moment, warner barged into your room. he gave juliette and adam questioning glances, โ€œsoldier, what are you two doing here, there an alarm.โ€ย 
adam was quick with an excuse. โ€œwe were already here before the alarm went off. i wasnโ€™t sure what to do with them as juliette was under my watch, which also extends to her sister.โ€ย 
if warner thought he was lying, he didnโ€™t show it. โ€œalright, as you can see, iโ€™ll handle it from here. please escort juliette back to her room before you go.โ€ย 
adam nodded and lead juliette out the door, not before she could shoot a worried glance to you.ย 
now it was just you and warner. he didnโ€™t say anything for a moment, then he asked what you and juliette were discussing. you were honest but kept it short and responded by saying you were talking about the testing the day before. he went silent again.โ€
โ€œdo you write?โ€
you were thrown off, huh? โ€œnot particularly no.โ€ย 
โ€œhm. weird because i wandered across this in juliettes room.โ€ย 
he had brown worn out notebook with fade florals on it. you internally gasped when you noticed it was your old journal.
for context, when you were around 6, you were given a journal to practice writing but ended up keeping it for personal use. you used it over the years - up until you were taken away. juliette mustโ€™ve saved it for you because it had left your mind during those 3 years of isolation. you couldnโ€™t barely even remember what you put in it.ย 
โ€œuhm, thats not mine.โ€ you mentally face palmed.
โ€œno? it says your name on the cover of it.โ€ย 
curse your six year old self.ย 
he came closer, โ€œitโ€™s honestly cute when you try to lie, amor.โ€ย 
you prayed your cheeks didnโ€™t have hints of pink.
โ€œiโ€™m gonna need that journal back.โ€
โ€œhm, alright, but iโ€™ll need a favor first.โ€ย 
โ€œwhat favor?โ€
โ€œread my mind.โ€ย 
you were taken aback, no one had been so desperate to have their mind read as much as warner. in fact you canโ€™t name a single person whose ever asked you. you needed an excuse and quick.ย 
โ€œno, i rather not.โ€ you tried to keep your face neutral.ย 
โ€œwhy? are you that repulsed to see inside my head, or is there another reason? my bet is on the latter.โ€ oh no.ย 
you were saved from answering when a gun was pointed at warner, and at the one pointing it was your sister. โ€œget away from her.โ€ย 
you were so proud of juliette in that moment, but then a gun was pressed to your chest.ย 
โ€œiโ€™ll shoot.โ€ย 
โ€œyouโ€™d be an idiot then.โ€ย 
warner didnโ€™t need to respond because adam came in and hit him hard with the butt of his own gun. however, this caused warner to misfire on the part of your thigh.ย 
you held back a scream; you didnโ€™t want juliette or adam to see and worry - they were preoccupied with warner, handcuffing him to the wall. luckily, you were wearing black pants that day, so the blood wasnโ€™t visible if you werenโ€™t paying close attention.ย 
adam grabbed duffel bags and put them near the window, and then you realized you were going to have to jump, and now you werent sure if you could.ย 
โ€œwe need to leave now.โ€
โ€œyou canโ€™t seriously believe you can trust kent, heโ€™s using the both of you.โ€ย 
you scoffed. โ€œas if youโ€™re any better.โ€
โ€œi only want you to reach your potential amor.โ€ย 
juliette cut in with her gun pointed, โ€œshut up and call off your soldiers.โ€ย 
he let out a humorless laugh, โ€œover my dead body.โ€ย 
after realizing he will provide no help, you all gathered near the window.ย 
โ€œyouโ€™re making a mistake, both of you! donโ€™t tell me youโ€™ve fallen for kentโ€™s romantic notions like your sister.โ€ย 
โ€œno, but i trust him a whole lot letter than you.โ€ย 
โ€œwe have a connection and you know it.โ€ย 
โ€œno-โ€ โ€œi can be patient, and youโ€™ll learn to love me-โ€
โ€œstop!โ€ โ€œno one understands you like me!โ€
adam shut him up by hitting him again, making warner stagger back.
he returned to the window, โ€œweโ€™ll have to climb then jump off. iโ€™ll go first and catch each of you.โ€ย 
โ€œyou canโ€™t touch her.โ€
no one answered warner. โ€œwait, amor, can he touch her?โ€ย 
you ignored him despite his constant repeat of the question.ย 
adam went out the window, and then signaled for you and juliette to go down.ย 
you looked down at your leg; not too severe, but it was painful, and needed attention very soon. warner was also on the verge of breaking free of the handcuff, so it wouldnโ€™t be long before he chased after you all. you decided in that moment you couldnโ€™t hold them back if they wanted to escape.ย 
juliette was climbing down, gesturing for you to follow suit, but you stood still.
โ€œjuliette, iโ€™m not going.โ€
โ€œwhat? why? donโ€™t tell me warner go to your head.โ€
โ€œof course not, itโ€™s just...juliette iโ€™m injured.โ€
she climbed up a bit enough to see your leg, and she gasped. she started asking why you didnโ€™t say anything, but you briskly interrupted that youโ€™ll hold her and adam back, it was best if you didnโ€™t go. no matter how much you wanted to leave this wretched place.ย 
she of course, protested, saying she wonโ€™t leave you behind. behind you, you could sense warner breaking free and coming toward you both.you worried youโ€™d have to do plan b.ย 
โ€œi love you, donโ€™t hate me for this.โ€ย 
โ€œfor what-โ€ โ€œadam get ready to catch her!โ€ย 
warner was next to you in a second, reaching for juliette, but you quickly pushed the rest of the rope in the window out - leaving juliette to fall straight down into adam.ย 
you tackled warner to the ground to prevent him from reaching out to stop the rope. but you noticed the brush of their hands before her fall. he could touch her too.ย 
you didnโ€™t have time to contemplate because the pain in your leg made itself known again, oozing more blood. you noticed some blood had seemed onto warner when you tackled him. crap you forgot too much blood loss = death was a thing for a moment.ย 
you rolled off our warner and ripped off a piece of your dress to try and wrapped it around the wound.ย 
warner recovered and noticed you were hurt, he looked worried and quickly removed his coat to use as a makeshift tourney kit. โ€œwhat happened?โ€ย 
โ€œyour misfire.โ€ย 
he frowned, โ€œnever meant to actually shoot you amor.โ€ย 
soldiers were piled in the room in an instant, warner demanded adam and juliette be brought back, and alive.ย 
he carried you to the infirmary and sat next to you as the medics handled your injury.ย 
when the medics left the room, you could tell he was going to start questioning you.ย 
โ€œyouโ€™ve been a very bad girl you know, helping your sister and kent escape.โ€
โ€œis this the part where you torture me for information? i donโ€™t know where they went.โ€ย 
โ€œoh, i know. but maybe some spanking ought to straight you out.โ€ย 
you turned to him alarmed, โ€œwhat? youโ€™re not serious, right.โ€
he grabbed your chin, โ€œhm, i donโ€™t know, do you promise to be a good girl?โ€ย 
your face flamed red, โ€œs-shut up!โ€ย 
he laughed at you, amused, โ€œyouโ€™re too cute.โ€ย 
he eventually went off, assuming to check on how the hunt for juliette and adam was going. you prayed they made it our alright.ย 
your leg was feeling much better, you could now walk in it with a small limp. mightโ€™ve just been the painkiller, but regardless it was enough you were released to go off to your room that night.ย 
warner escorted you back, not trusting his soldiers, and preventing a second escape attempt. as you both walked the halls you heard whispers about kishimoto being under investigation, in other words being tortured in a cell right now.ย 
you immediately asked warner about it and he shrugged saying he was friends with adam and was your guard, so he wanted to ensure he had no information concerning the escape. you tried to defend him, saying he wasnโ€™t involved, but warner didnโ€™t yield and that he would be the judge of that.
he helped you into bed, making sure you were comfortable. then he stood by the door, getting ready to leave.
โ€œdonโ€™t think your off the hook just yet, iโ€™ll question you tomorrow, especially involving your sister and me being able to touch her.โ€ย 
oh shit, he noticed. of course he did, heโ€™s a perceptive bastard. ย 
โ€œand, itโ€™s aaron.โ€ย 
you threw a confused look. โ€œmy name, itโ€™s aaron.โ€ and with that he walked out, locking your door securely.ย 
huh. aaron warner. interesting.ย 
when you awoke the next day you were again with aaron warner by your side. he waited for you to get dressed then took you with him wherever he went.ย 
you could sense something was wrong but didnโ€™t want to ask. from a few whispers and thoughts, you were able to find out what happened- kenji kishimoto escaped. you were silently cheering, glad he was no longer being tortured. he was your favorite guard after all. you hoped somehow he was with adam and juliette and they were all safe.ย 
you were proven drastically wrong when hours later, you found out they had been spotted and taken by the soldiers back to the base.ย 
warner was very pleased with the news, he ordered adam to be sent to the dungeons while juliette was to be heavily restrained.
you asked warner to speak to them, but mainly juliette. he obviously declined - he didnโ€™t need to you and them trying to escape again. you didnโ€™t let up and continued asking and begging, saying he could be there to supervise, you just wanted to make sure they were okay.ย 
โ€œplease aaron.โ€
he seemed taken aback by the title and stayed stunned for a moment. he then dragged you away, and you assumed heโ€™d be taking you to juliette. however, instead, you were led to a room, his room, you realized.ย 
his back was turned to you, โ€œi was surprised when i found out julietteโ€™s touch didnโ€™t affect me, probably the same way you were when you discovered the same. i couldnโ€™t conjure an explanation as to why, and still canโ€™t. but then i started thinking about you and your ability.โ€ he turned around to face you, slowly creeping closer. โ€œi thought about all those times i asked you to read me, but you refuse or avoided it. at first, i thought you were doing to in protest, or even because you had no interest in doing so.โ€ you gulped. โ€œ then this new revelation came and it occurred to me, maybe julietteโ€™s not the only one iโ€™m immune to.โ€ย 
he stood directly in front of you, and you were so nervous you wanted to throw up. โ€œyou canโ€™t read my mind or thought, can you amor?โ€ย 
you went wide-eyed, he knew. you didnโ€™t say anything, still paralyzed.ย 
he caressed your cheek, โ€œthat scares you, not knowing what iโ€™m thinking. must make you even a bit mad.โ€ you couldnโ€™t breathe. he was so close, you felt his breath, and the gun in his jacket pocket.ย 
โ€œdonโ€™t let that stop you from loving me. my every thought is yours, if you want it, and i so desperately want you to want it.โ€ย 
he roughly leaned in and pressed your lips together, you couldnโ€™t think for a moment too shocked, but then you remember the gun.ย 
you kissed back in an attempt to get closer to the jacket. you acted as if you were feeling on his chest, and slowly trying to get your hands on the weapon.ย 
he murmured, โ€œweโ€™ll be so good together,โ€ before diving in for another deep kiss. you tried to keep up with his rushed lips to keep him distracted.
aaron was so absorbed into the kiss he didnโ€™t notice the gun pressed against the side of his chest.ย 
you pulled back, his lips following after your before you lightly pushed him away. looking at him directly in the eyes, โ€œiโ€™m sorry it had to come to this.โ€ pow.ย 
his face was full of confusion, horror, pain, and betrayal before he crumpled on the ground.ย 
you wasted no time in running off to find juliette before someone found warner. it didnโ€™t take long after reading a few thoughts and taking some guesses of your own.ย 
you entered to see her on a hospital-like bed with restraints on her arms to legs to keep her immobilized. you were quick to free her and get her back on her feet. once she regained her full consciousness, you both went off to find adam.
you snuck up on a few soldiers and knocked them out with your gun, juliette mainly knocking them out with her strength, and found adam pretty easily. he was in chains hanging by his arms, with his head down. he looked to be heavily injured as well.ย 
you took care of breaking him free while juliette woke him up. he had trouble standing, so you both carried him by his arms and hurried toward the exit. you three quickly came up with a solution to get out; the guards hadnโ€™t noticed warner or the fact the prisoners escaped yet.ย 
you all ran outside, helping juliette carry adam. he was heavy, but you carried on, not knowing when guards would start chasing you three.
you and him were left for a moment while juliette went off and before you knew it you were inside a car โ€œwoah, whereโ€™d you get this!โ€
juliette was in the driver seat preparing to leave and turned to you, โ€œlong story short, itโ€™s stolenโ€
โ€œcool. wait you know how to drive?โ€ย 
โ€œno.โ€
with adamโ€™s guidance, soon enough, you all were off to your not-sure-where. you were in the back seat while adam and her were in front. juliette had taken the liberty of catching you up on events during the escape, mainly about kenji and james.ย 
adam and juliette discussed where they could be and then found them.ย 
you greeted kenji and introduced yourself to james, he was a very sweet boy and seemed a bit excited by this whole situation. having known a bit about you, he asked you to tell him what number he was thinking, to which you couldnโ€™t help but do it. he beamed excitedly.ย 
juliette was the one to bring up warner, โ€œhowโ€™d you escape him, iโ€™m sure you were under heavy surveillance after we left.โ€™ย 
โ€œoh..i uhm... shot him.โ€ after he kissed me.ย 
everyone turned to you, shocked at the revelation, juliette was proud of you for defending yourself, and the rest of them were just struck you even had the chance to do it.
kenji then switched with juliette, leading the drive to this supposed location of people who could help.ย 
you fell asleep, and when you awoke, there was a large facility like building in the middle of nowhere.ย 
you got out of the car, helping carry adam again, and rushed into the building. inside there were numerous of people, more than you ever expected. adam got taken away by, what you assumed were, medics. but juliette had many questions. you were too stunned looking around to form anything. at some point a man had introduced himself to us as castle; he seemed like the head of this place.ย 
you snapped back when you saw juliette hounding kenji, getting dangerously close to him, and then accidentally touching him. it wasnโ€™t enough to kill, but he was still quite injured a bit to be taken away by medics like adam. juliette was then sedated and thatโ€™s when your concerns were raised.ย 
it was your turn to ask questions, but not wanting to end up like juliette, you remained calm. castle briefly explained you all were in a place called โ€˜omega pointโ€™ and its purpose was to build a group of gifted individuals to help them understand their gift. it went against the reestablishment was basically a rebellion against them.ย 
overwhelmed by information, you asked to be taken to where you would sleep. castle led you to a room and informed you youโ€™d be rooming with two other girls, along with juliette. your sister was already there, still passed out from whatever they gave her. the two twin sisters, who you found out had healing abilities, introduced themselves as sara & sonya. they seemed nice, and you could tell youโ€™ll easily be friends.ย 
you bid them goodnight after they reassured you adam, kenji, and juliette would all be fine.ย 
after that first day, the days passed by quickly. you were given a suit to wear, a red leather corset-like top, black leather pants, and a long dark red leather coat, accompanied with black fingerless gloves and black boots. it made you feel like a superhero in it.ย 
you practiced with castle to help learn to block out unwanted thoughts, which a major relief to learn. he was also helpful in managing your new telekinetic ability since he had the same. another ability you were slowly practicing was mental manipulation, you werenโ€™t sure if you ever wanted to mind control someone, so it wasnโ€™t focused on much, but still learned from time to time.ย 
you admit, you had a better time adjusting than juliette; she was keeping to herself, having lunch with only you, adam, and occasionally kenji. you couldnโ€™t blame her; the asylum doesnโ€™t exactly help in forming relationships. her relationship with adam was a huge step as it is, and you were proud of her for it.ย 
eventually, you were stable enough to go on outdoor missions. the first time you went was an unforgettable experience. you saw what society was like after all these years, it was horrible the conditions people were living in under the reestablishment.ย 
that day you also saw aaron for the first time in a few weeks. you were glad he was alive because it really hadnโ€™t been your goal to kill him. he was wearing a cast on his left arm, near where you shot him. you wondered if he told anyone what happened or changed the story.ย 
he also saw him human for the first time. when no one was looking, he fed and injured dog, even carrying him for a bit. you found the sight cute. it almost felt like a dream.ย 
it almost got you caught by him; you swore you made .1 second eye contact before you were turned invisible and taken away by kenji. you didnโ€™t know what couldโ€™ve happened if he recognized you.ย 
after that, you frequently joined them on the outside missions, aaron was there for almost all of them, which left you wondering why. you even encouraged juliette a few times, and she even ended up following along on the most recent one making friends with winston and brendan.ย 
after the task you got back to your room, juliette made a stop to adam, and it was empty. you took off the clothes given to you to blend in, removing your tattered jacket and replacing it with your red one.ย 
you were folding the coat to put away for next time when something fell out of the pocket, a paper.ย 
you didnโ€™t remember putting anything in, so you figured it was there when it was given to you weeks ago. but then again, you shouldโ€™ve noticed by now if it was.ย 
curious, you unfolded the piece of paper and looked at it contents.ย 
you gasped out loud, dropping the paper on your bed in the process.ย 
see you soon, amor. -your injured dearest, A.W.ย 
oh, you were fucked.ย

Can I have Actor Aaron Warner x Actress/Singer Yn?!?
โ€” Fry?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
๐ŸŽฅ - synopsis. After filming a scene, Aaron suddenly gets a frog in his throat. After getting released from set, you and Aaron head to Burger King late at night. Talk of feelings ensue.
๐ŸŽฅ - warnings. Kissing. Sloppily put together plot. Aaron is a germaphobe. Pining. Friends to lovers. No lip kissing. SORRY FOR NOT POSTING SOONER!!! You walked into the room, clutching Aaronโ€™s arm tightly. With owlish eyes, you took in the casino with a starstruck look. Aaron kept walking forward, keeping you close enough to him that you were enveloped with his scent- cologne, fresh mint toothpaste, the expensive gel in his hair, and like clean clothes.
โ€œEyes on the prize, darling girl,โ€ Aaron murmured quietly, tucking a stray hair behind your ear before pulling pressing his lips to your forhead. You kept your cool, smiling smally at the handsome man in from of you. You nodded. The prize? Racks of gold and information in the basement.
Aaron sat down in the seat next to a fat Italian man and a muscular German. Without wasting a second, he pulled you into his lap and wrapped his non-dominant hand around your waist as he was dealt into the game.
โ€œNice to finally see you, sir,โ€ a man greeted politely from across the table. โ€œWeโ€™ve been discussing businessโ€ฆโ€ he trailed off, eyes flickering to your face. โ€œAnd have been awaiting your inputโ€ฆ Should we expect your word before the next meeting?โ€
Aaron leaned back, tucking his cards into your soft hands, pulling your back flush against his chest. โ€œNo need to withhold details from my wife, Senator. I promise she wont say a word. In fact,โ€ Aaronโ€™s eyes glinted as he stared down the men at the table, โ€œshe canโ€™t speak.โ€
You watched as eyebrows shot up at the use of the word โ€˜wifeโ€™.
โ€œHowever, should you decide to take advantage of the fact that my darling girl canโ€™t speakโ€ฆ I can happily promise you that I will tear you all apart: piece by piece, tendon by tendon, dollar by dollar. You will be nothing more than another worthless piece of flesh by the time I am done with you. Understood?โ€
The crowd nodded hastily, faces red and sweaty.
The game of poker was simply a diversion. When it ended, the amateur robbers you hired under a fake name and different face were to be ratted out. After that, the Japanese man you were playing with would be sent up to the police station to go over security measures for the vault in the basement. From there, everyone would be spoken to by numerous officers. The men, including Aaron, would give their stories, saying that they were just a group of buddies catching up over some poker.
You were to act ill and lightheaded, signing to Aaron how horrible you felt with the rush of excitement. Aaron would explain to the officer how you had a heart condition and produce fake papers from his suit pocket. The officer would nod slowly and excuse you to the bathroom where you would โ€˜collect yourselfโ€™.
The interviews would be fast- there were other civilians to interview as well. Aaron would excuse himself to go check on you.
Instead of going to the bathroom you went to the basement. Earlier in the month, youโ€™d stored a security uniform in the third stall of the womanโ€™s first floor bathroom. Aaronโ€™s was in the vent near the ceiling in the menโ€™s room.
Down you went, playing your role perfectly. Aaron was about three minutes and fourty-six seconds behind you. While he was in the elevator, you had disabled the camera covering the basement and looping a clip of two hours previous so it disnโ€™t record you or Aaron.
Aaron exited the elevator, eyes searching for you in a matching black uniform. He saw you examining the red lazer maze and coughed.
You turned.
Aaron kept coughing and started pounding on his chest. You rushed over to him and pounded on his back.
โ€œBreathe, Warner. You ruined the scene man, weโ€™re totally dead now,โ€ you teased.
The blond man finally stopped coughing and stood up. โ€œYeah. Iโ€™d be a horrible spy,โ€ he mused.
You laughed.
The producers and directors behind the cameras all bustled around behind you, chattering and reviewing the scene.
โ€œWell. Y/n, Aaron. Wonderful as always. Until the end, of course,โ€ one of your produces said, shooting Aaron a smile. โ€œYou already know weโ€™re ahead of schedule, so you guys both have the night. Get that frog out of your throat and be ready tomorrow!โ€
Your assistants ushered you both to the makeup room and got busy removing your makeup.
โ€œAre you hungry, y/n?โ€ Aaron asked, eyeing you.
You groaned. โ€œIโ€™m starving. Do you wanna go get something to eat?โ€
Aaron chuckled, replying with โ€œIโ€™ll pay.โ€
You squealed excitedly. โ€œEven better!โ€
โ€” ๐ŸŽž๏ธ
A little over an hour later Aaron watched you run toward a Burger Kind with open arms in the rain. A small smile painted his lips as he entered and saw you ordering already.
The young cashier looked at you with a tilted head, his eyes narrowed like he recognized you. Aaron came up beside you and waited for you to finish before getting his food. He shoced his credit card into the other manโ€™s hands and felt a small rush of adrenaline shoot through his veins when you wrapped your arms around his stomach and squeezed quickly before taking your drink cup and going to fill it up.
Aaron took his card back and barely made it back to your table before brandishing a bag of antibacterial wipes and bathing his credit card in it. You snickered at his actions.
โ€œWhy did you come here if you were gonna get all germaphobic?โ€ You asked, taking a sip of your drink.
โ€œYou wanted to come here,โ€ Aaron asked, a finality in his tone.
โ€œBut we didnโ€™t have to if you-โ€œ
โ€œY/n have you seriously not noticed that I buy everything you touch when we go shopping? How I follow you and only you around on set and on vacation when youโ€™re around? Have you not noticed how I only smile at you?โ€ Aaron asked, genuinely confused how you didnโ€™t notice.
Your face turned pale and you shrugged. โ€œI didnโ€™t want to convince myself you liked me and then break my own heart whem you find someone you truly do like.โ€
Aaron scoffed. โ€œThere is someone I truly like- love, even.โ€
You nodded, eyes avoiding Aaronโ€™s.
โ€œAnd Iโ€™m looking at her,โ€ Aaron finished, voice soft.
Aaronโ€™s last name was shouted out before you could open your mouth.
When the blond came back, he set the plastic tray of food down. โ€œEat. We donโ€™t have to talk about this if you donโ€™t want to, but you are the only one for me, y/n.โ€
You nod, picking up a fry and biting a big chunk off. โ€œIโ€™ll need time. Youโ€™re- I feel the same, Aaron. I justโ€ฆโ€ you trail off, happy to see that Aaron Warner is Smiling at you. You really were a fool not to see it before.
โ€œShare a fry with me?โ€ You ask, holding out the steaming salt-covered hunk of potato. Aaron picks it out of your fingers with his teeth and stays quiet, happy to be with you.

Just A Little Late
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
๐Ÿฉป - Synopsis. The day comes when Aaron realizes he has to talk to you. Is he able to repair your relationship or does he get the rejection he knows he deserves?
๐Ÿฉป - Warnings. Angst. Fluff? Possible ooc!Aaron. Mild description of blood and a fire.
๐Ÿฉป - Authorโ€™s note. Thank you all so much for the love of this mini series! I have an epilogue in store if youโ€™d like :)
A couple hours after you got home, your phone buzzed. Looking down, you saw โ€˜Big Boss ๐Ÿ˜ โ€™ on the lockscreen and glared down at the glowing box. With a trembling hand, you unlocked your phone and read the message.
From Big Boss ๐Ÿ˜ : Itโ€™s Hotch. What are you doing tonight?
To Big Boss ๐Ÿ˜ : Why do you care?
You bit your lip after sending. Were you being too harsh? You felt your heart sting. You hated being mean to Aaron, the man who had previously fought tooth and nail to be by yours (and your teamโ€™s) side. But after he chose not to visit you or even communicate with you during your stay at the hospitalโ€ฆ itโ€™s safe to say you felt betrayed on another level.
From Big Boss ๐Ÿ˜ : Because you are apart of my team.
You scoffed. โ€œReally? Are you fucking serious, Hotch?โ€
To Big Boss ๐Ÿ˜ : Didnโ€™t seem like that when you apparently didnโ€™t have a word to say to me when I was in the hospital. Or at the restaurant.
With tears in your eyes, you threw you phone at the wall as hard as you could. The sound of the screen shattering and broken glass falling to the floor was exactly how you felt.
โ€”ย 
Spencer and Derek were the ones that went to find you. You were two (full!) hours late to work. Every minute you didnโ€™t show had Aaronโ€™s heart rate picking up. But he knew he couldnโ€™t go to find you. So he sent Spencer and Derek, telling himself he couldnโ€™t keep hiding from you forever.
Spencer unlocked your door as Derek swept the front and back yard. A precaution, but Spencer was worried nonetheless. Because you were never late!
โ€œY/n?โ€ Spencer asked, his hand finding the gun strapped to his hip. โ€œAre you alright?โ€ย 
He heard a loud sigh and guessed it was you over the sound of the T.V.
Derek nodded at Reid and they both toed cautiously toward you, completely unaware of how youโ€™d react to them being in your home. Uninvited.
โ€œMama? You alright?โ€ Derek asked, eyebrows furrowed.
Spencer looked around. You phone and a bunch of glass laid in a pile near the wall. You had clealry thrown it from a distance- from the couch? Had you even gotten up?
โ€œWill you lay with me?โ€ You tiny voice asked. You were completely swaddled in a blanket leaving only your eyes and nose peeping out.
โ€œI-โ€œ Derek started, clearly taken aback by your actions.
โ€œOf course we will. Move over, you. Derek, call Hotch and tell him we might be a little late.โ€
Derek watched Spencer sit down on your couch with wide eyes and an open mouth. โ€œI- yeah. Alright. Iโ€™ll be back in a second,โ€ he said, pulling his phone from his pocket. He stepped outside and shut the door as he dialed.
โ€œHotchner?โ€ย 
Derek rubbed his head with his hand. โ€œWeโ€™re at y/nโ€™s. Sheโ€™s-โ€œ Derek sighed. โ€œShe looks horrible, man. She looks like she cried all night and didnโ€™t get up at all during the night. Her house is clean, but she did a number on her phone. Whatโ€™s goinโ€™ on with our girl?โ€
Hotch felt his heart squeeze in his chest and suddenly he couldnโ€™t breathe. You cried all night, your phone was lying in pieces, and you even had Derek worried. Aaron had to fix this. โ€œI donโ€™t know, Derek.โ€ Liar, Hotch thought. โ€œStay with her. Get her up and moving, Iโ€™ll be there soon.โ€
โ€œOkay. I donโ€™t know what you did, Hotch- and donโ€™t lie to me because weโ€™ve all seen it- but you need to get your shit together.โ€
Aaron felt a singular teardrop run down his face and land on the stained wood of his desk. The dial tone blared loudly in his ear and Hotch felt like the biggest asshole on Earth.
Derek went back into your house and locked the door. โ€œWhat are we watching, nerds?โ€ The man patted your blanket-covered legs and sat down.
As Spencer explained the show as briefly as Specer could, both men acted like the didnโ€™t see the tears fall out of your eyes and your body shuddering every time you inhaled. Spencer let you play with his hands to keep from picking at your lips until they bled.
Eventually, Derek convinced you to go get cleaned up and dressed. When you came back out, Derek persuaded you into letting him braid your hair (props of having sisters) as Spencer picked something to watch.
You had just started laughing when you heard someone know on the door. Derek tutted poshly and refused to let you move until he finished the braid.
โ€œBetter hurry up,โ€ Spencer commented uselessly from your couch, munching on popcorn you didnโ€™t even know you had.
You scoffed. โ€œGood idea, Reid.โ€
โ€œOff to the races, you,โ€ Derek joked, pushing your head forward when the braid was completed.
โ€œYou both suck. Never letting you in my house again-โ€œ you muttered, opening the door. Words fell right off your tongue.
Outside your door, Hotch held out a concerningly large boquet of your favorite flavors. Your mouth fell open and you felt like slamming the door. Just as you started pushinf the door shut, however, Derek swung open the door.ย 
โ€œY/n, please listen to what he has to say. I think you need to hear it.โ€
You looked accusingly at Derek, eyes flickering between the two men in front of you. โ€œNo. No! Because why would I listen to a man who wasnโ€™t there! You didnโ€™t show up! You. Werenโ€™t. There. Get out of my house. Get off my property. I quit. My documents will be at your desk tomorrow. Leave. Get out!โ€ You yelled, pushing Derek out of your house (no small feat, my God) and yelling at Aaron.
Spencer swiftly avoided your glare and flailing arms, leaving Derek and Hotch to fend for themselves.
โ€œY/n, please. Just five minutes. Listen to me- five minutes!โ€ Aaron pleaded. His voice cracked and he faltered against you.
You had moved from Derek to Aaron, trying as hard as you could to push them out the door and onto the grass. โ€œNo! Please just leave me alone. I canโ€™t- you made your point when you couldnโ€™t even look at me after I came back to work!โ€ You yelled, not noticing the tears sparking in the back of your eyes.
Derek was glad almost every other adult was at work- the screaming match you and Hotch were holding wasnโ€™t pretty.
Aaron let you push him out the door, but held onto the porch railing. โ€œYou were the one distancing yourself from me-โ€œ
You froze for a moment, looking at him with so much hurt in your eyes, Spencer assumed you had just gotten your spinal cord severed. โ€œBullshit! Youโ€™re lying to me and you know it, Hotchner. You- you left me there. Dropped me off at the hospital and left! โ€˜Oh, yeah! Her face is so torn up now, sheโ€™s so scarred and fucked up, I canโ€™t be seen with her!โ€™ Is that what you were thinking when you left me there? Huh?!โ€
โ€œMedic! I need a medic!โ€
Hotch tore away from the firefighterโ€™s grip, bounding over the lawn to where our were choking on smoke. โ€œY/n!โ€
You tore at the ground with your bloodied fingers, slowly going limp.
Aaron didnโ€™t feel the heat of the fire as he slid one arm just under your neck and another arm under your knees. โ€œPlease, y/n,โ€ he whispered, navigating through the burning building , blood dripping from your wounds into the threads of Aaronโ€™s clothes.
He held onto your hand as you were pulled into the ambulance on a gurney. Ash and soot streaked his face, but he hadnโ€™t looked away from you. Despite the deep knife wound that twisted and warped your face, despite the burns on your body, and despite your faint breathing, Aaron held on to you. Crying and pleading and hoping.
When Rossi had finally tore his hands from yours, he watched dazedly as you were rushed into an OR. For hours he must have stood there, watching the floor. Waiting.
Waiting.
โ€œI- I love you, y/n! I couldnโ€™t watch you die in some sterile room where I canโ€™t help you! So I left. I left and couldnโ€™t bring myself to see you because this,โ€ he said, gently running a finger from te top of the scar down to where it ended at your collarbone, โ€œthis tells me that I failed. I failed you, y/n m/n l/n, and I know nothing I say will excuse that, but the fact that I failed to protect youโ€ฆโ€ Aaron looked away. โ€œI couldnโ€™t- I couldnโ€™t stand the fact that I failed to protect ome of the only people I care about.โ€
Your hand came up to hover where Aaronโ€™s was, still resting on the edge of your collarbone. โ€œI needed you,โ€ you whimpered, voice shaking. Your lip quivered as the man who said loved you stepped closer. โ€œI needed you and you werenโ€™t there. Youย left.โ€
Aaron nodded vigorously, his own tears falling down his face at your words. You were so close to him, letting his hand trace you carefully even though a part of you still hated him for not being there. Aaron hated him too. โ€œI know. I know, y/n and Iโ€™m sorry. But- but Iโ€™m here now. I wonโ€™t leave unless you tell me.โ€
You leaned forward and latched your arms around Aaronโ€™s waist and fell, crying into Aaronโ€™s expensive shirt. โ€œI hate you, Aaron,โ€ you wailed, vice-like grip on his jacket tugging him even closer to you.
Aaron closed his eyes and let you fall into him. โ€œI know you do, y/n. I know.โ€ One of his hands rested on the back of your neck and the other kept baby hairs off of your face. โ€œI know,โ€ he whispered, crying silently.
Spencer and Derek both nodded, knowing your relationship (and horribly harbored feelings) wasnโ€™t hopeless after all.

Tumblr media
the first thing on your mind, when you woke up, is that you had to be dead. if you opened your eyes, you would see the golden gates of heaven or the fiery pit of hell. based on how you lived your short life: you were thinking hell.
you realized you were alive and mostly well from the horrible aching from your body, the bandages wrapped around your chest, and the fact your current surrounding was a bedroom.
"hey, amor, take it easy." a voice said as you attempted to sit up.
by your side was aaron warner, sitting down on a stool next to the bed you laid on. he, uncharacteristically, looked disheveled, his clothes messy, and his eyes anxious.
your panic arose as you remembered events - fighting against the reestablishment, then getting caught, and then being shot in the chest by anderson. and then you recognized the room; it was aaron's bedroom - back at the base.
aaron notices your alarm and grabs your hands to calm you down. "it's alright you're safe here, i'm not gonna hurt you."
it may have been an idiotic move, but you believed his words.
"why are we here?"
"i had no choice. everyone believes your dead, and the base is the best place to keep you hidden."
"i don't understand...i'm not a medic by any means, but shouldn't i be dead?"
"you have sara and sonya to thank for that. they were able to save your heart from stopping before being dragged away by my father. then, i was able to take their energy as my own and heal the rest of you."
you were thankful for his aid in your life being saved, but you were too focused on many other worries to properly thank him. like the state of your friends.
you try your hand at getting up, trying to ignore the dizziness that comes with it. aaron holds you steady to stop you from falling.
aaron protests, "you need to res-" but you interrupt, "i need to go. i-i have to find everyone and help them."
"you can't."
you stop your movement and turn to aaron, "what do you mean? i know i'm in horrible shape, but i have to see juliette and everyone else could be in troubl-"
"it's over."
your face scrunches up in confusion, "what?"
aaron's silent for a few movements; you can't breathe. he looks down, his grip on you tightening, "they're dead. all of them."
you look at him in horror, your mouth open, but no words are released. your knees give out, and Aaron carries your full weight in his arms.
he slowly brings you both down to the ground next to the bed, still holding onto you. "i'm sorry, please believe me when i say that. if there was a way to spare you of this pain i would do it in a heartbeat."
you feel like a shell of yourself, you have no reaction, just an emotionless look on your face.
"what happened?" you say in a monotone voice.
"amor, i think you need to lay down or shower, then eat some-"
"what happened," you repeat with a harsher voice.
"they... overtook your friends, some were taken to be tortured, but most were.. shot dead."
"and omega point?"
"....destroyed. they got the coordinates and bombed the entire foundation."
you feel disconnected from reality; nothing feels real. everything is numb; you can't find it in yourself to let out any sort of emotion.
"so juliette, kenji, adam, james..."
aaron didn't need to answer for you to know. they're gone.
the first thing you did was laugh like a lunatic, aaron likely looked at you like you were mad. then finally, the tears came.
you yelled at aaron to get out, even though it was his room. in hysteria, you started levitating things and throwing them at him until he exited the room.
you don't know how long you spent sobbing on the floor next to the bed. you weren't even sure if you were going to stop.
your voice was sore from the number of times you wailed apologies to juliette for being a bad sister and for not being there to protect your friends.
when the tears finished, you reached denial. you knew your friends - there was no way they were dead. juliette was stronger than you, physically and sometimes mentally, so if you could survive a bullet to the chest, your sister could be alive.
when aaron comes back hours later to check on you, he didn't expect to see you walking around in new attire, packing clothes and items into a bag.
"what are you doing?"
"i have to go back."
aaron was taken aback by your statement, but you claimed there was a possibility there were people who survived. he countered saying he'd seen the damage and it wasn't likely. you didn't listen to him and continued preparing.
"this is unhealthy and possibly delusional thinking."
"well, then put me back in the asylum if i'm wrong. i'm going if you let me or not."
he sighs, and then gives in, not before insisting he comes along with you. now you were the one taken aback. was he actually offering to help you?
"why do you seem surprised? it's not as if i haven't made my care for you quite clear."
"no offense, but you're the most confusing man ever. i want to trust you, i've seen your good-natured side. you even claim to.. love me. but you work for the reestablishment, but then claim to be on my side. don't forget the fact you tried to turn juliette and i into weapons for the reestablishment, held us, hostage, at your base, and put us into a torture chamber. not exactly behavior that screams i want to help you."
at this he laughs then laughs harder and you get annoyed, not knowing what was funny. you were ready to kick him out again until he finally stooped.
"i suppose i owe you a long overdue explanation."
nothing prepared you for his next words. aaron began to retell the events from his perspective. starting with his true intentions of bringing you and juliette from the asylum - to study the both of you.
aaron explained his mother's condition, being unable to be touched - a reverse juliette basically. he sought out her at first, then discovered your existence and became intrigued more.
he invented the guise of using you both for weapons as a way for his father to agree to invest in you both.
as anderson mentioned before, juliette was of special interest because of her ability, and yours wasn't as impressive to him at the time. aaron had to convince the commander that your mind reading ability would be great for spy purposes.
once he brought the two of you to the base, he was ready to face 2 vicious and demented sisters, but it was literally the opposite of that. instead he got stuck with two stubborn and immature, you were offended at that, teenage girls.
"juliette was more of the hard-headed one, you mostly just followed along, i figured that out after the dinner and dress stunt. however, i can't say feeding you myself wasn't pleasurable for myself."
aaron saw your fear of your own ability and had intentions to help you and juliette, in his own way.
his tried various ways to unlock your potential - with juliette he tried anger and bullying and with you he knew you couldn't suppress hearing thoughts, so he figured spending time with you was the best option. but he came to understand how much he loved being around you.
"i was so addicted to being around you, i got sidetracked. but then my worry grew when you both showed no progress on enhancing your ability, so as a last resort, i arranged an experiment."
to your surprise, he revealed it was actually a simulation which was a major relief to you that no one was actually harmed by your powers, well, no one besides warner. but he partly deserved it for putting you through that.
although you were mad he implanted that fear into you, you had to admit. it did work.
"so, instead of finding some way to inform me earlier of all this, you make my sister and i think of you as some supervillain who wanted control of our autonomy." you grab the nearest pillow and launch it at him. "you're an idiot! we were scared out of our minds! juliette and i's last conversation was a fight over that! do you know much much time you could- are you seriously smiling?"
"god, i love it when you yell at me."
now that the ait was clear, you were able to put more of your faith into aaron and his intentions. and not feel bad about kissing him.
the two of you worked together on a plan to get you back to what was left of omega point.
you met an older gentleman by the name of delalieu. he was very sweet, but it got a little vexing every time he jumped to warner's defense whenever you made a remark; even ones said in levity.ย 
a few days later, when aaron deemed it safer, you both set off to leave. although you had the misfortune of having to be stuffed into a cart to avoid being spotted. at least it was better than the body bag you were transported in the first time.
the two of you transported to what was left of omega point in a tank. aaron notably was able to drive to the location with ease. you grew suspicious because one - he told his father he didn't know how to get there and two - he was unconscious the whole time you, juliette, kenji, and adam drove there. you decide to question him on the matter.
"i wasn't completely unconscious on the trip there. i was very conscious when you were touching my hair and tracing my features."
"i knew it! you little faker, you intentionally pushed yourself onto me didn't you!"
when you both arrived, the scene was as horrible as you imagined. - rubbles and dust everywhere and a huge gaping hole miles down. you felt sick thinking about everyone who stayed behind, including james. god, you hoped at least your friends were alright.
you were suddenly tackled to the ground by warner, and the sound of a gunshot followed after. a voice yelled out, and you immediately recognized it - kenji.
you got up instantly and ran to him, attacking him with a gigantic hug, tears brimming at your eyes.
"oh my god, i thought you were dead!"
"i thought you were dead!"
"you almost killed me right now when you shot at us like a lunatic!"
"sorry, i was aiming for warner- where'd he go?"
you change subject, "juliette? is she alright?"
kenji confirms she is alive, and you felt like you could breathe again. you needed to see her as soon as possible.
kenji started looking for warner like a madman, and you, too, were curious about his whereabouts - until he startled you by "showing" up behind you. he had turned himself invisible.
he was ready to take you both back before kenji shot him, but you declined to say you had to see juliette and anyone else that survived. aaron was reluctant but then handed you a pager, not that you knew what it was, and gave you a limit of four hours. you thought it to be ridiculous, but you compromised to ease his worries.
you and kenji ventured back to adam's house, your first time being there since you were unable to the first time around. he, heart-achingly, filled you in on the events, how they searched for you, how many were lost, and who remained. you told your side of the action, including everything with aaron.
kenji did have some judgemental comments, but you understood he was reeling from the shock of everything, especially from the details regarding aaron.
you bite your tongue when kenjii speaks ill of warner. defending him would only make you look naive, plus you couldn't deny the others had their reasoning for disliking the guy. you would end up sounding like delalieu.
"so what, you like the guy now? god, don't tell me your gullible enough to fall for it just because he's the first guy to show interest in you."
his words cut deep into you, but you don't respond and change the subject back to getting to the house. you didn't want to argue after being so happy kenji is alive. but damn did you want to give him a shove with your powers.
your spirits lifted as soon as you reached the destination. you pull kenji to the front door and urge him to open it. he knocks and confirms his identity before it's opened by winston, who was shocked to see you.
you greeted him quickly, feeling bad, but your main focus was your sister. next you see alia, castle, brendan, lily and alia. (all frozen to their spots as soon as they noticed you). when you see james you give him a tight hug, thankful for his well-being.
adam and juliette walked out of the kitchen engaged in conversation, not noticing you at first. then kenji drew their attention with a cough.
both of you were paralyzed at first; you were the first to break and jump at her with tears and an overbearing hug. she was quick to return it, then the both of you started crying in relief to see each other after thinking the other was dead.
"i'm so sorry for how we ended things, you had a right to be upset and i was a bad sister for not taking your feelings into account. "
"no, i'm the one who overreacted. i should've came with you the moment you told me you felt something was wrong."
"okay we get it elsa and anna; you're both very happy to see each other. please, no more tears."
you both pulled away, laughing softly at your dramatics. you turned and gave adam a much quicker hug, him happy to see you breathing.
with greeting out of the way, everyone's attention was turned back to you, particularly how you survived. you took a deep breath, and retold everything you told kenji, leaving out intimate details about aaron and you. everyone reacted similarly to the way kenji had.
the room then filled with different questions and thoughts, all voices one another, reminding you of listening to different people's thoughts at the same time. they all started assuming the worst in warner, and this time you did defend him - but it only made you look guilty.
the subject turned over to what was the next plan of action. castle was out of it, so he provided no help. adam was the first to protest any sort of fight, his concern for james overshadowing. juliette was on the fence about it for adam's sake, but you knew she wanted to fight against the reestablishment like everyone else, if not more. especially after all they had put the two of you through.
the conversation barely got past arguments before the front door was suddenly brought down. everyone, besides you, held up weapons to attack the intruder - you held up your hands, ready to use your power if necessary. but then you recognized the intruder quickly - aaron.
you ran over in front of him and advised everyone to stand down, but they didn't listen, they were too focused on the fact aaron had arrived.
you readied yourself to lower their weapons yourself, but then aaron made a move of his own and flung all the guns across the room with levitation.
"i was gonna do that.." you mumbled quietly to yourself.
"apologies, amor, i'll let you get them next time."
everyone else was stunned, you explained aaron's gift, but it was still a shock to see. a few banters are exchanged, but aaron, uncaring as ever, ignores them and proceeds to grab your arm so the two of you can leave. however, you stop him, not wanting to leave on bad terms.
you informed everyone that aaron was on your side, and they were understandably doubtful to believe it, but as they noticed how he acted with you, it became more believable.
you took the chance to try to persuade everyone to stand up again against the rebellion. juliette and kenji were the first to side with you, and slowly everyone followed along, adam and ian being the ones more reluctant. you could respect adam for thinking of james and juliette, and ian was just an asshole, but he was also mourning. in a turn of events, castle chimed in with his support.
aaron, not thrilled about the new members of your alliance, announced the two of you would be leaving. juliette protested, not wanting to be away from you after she just got you back.
part of you longed to lay on the comfortable bed back at the base, but you needed to stay with your team. so, you made an agreement aaron could return for you the next day.
"so i'll come back for you tomorrow? thirteen hundred hours."
"thirteen hundred hours? like from now?"
"it means one o'clock."
"... one o'clock is not thirteen hundred hours from now."
aaron was holding back a laugh, juliette was just as confused, and kenji physically facepalmed.
aaron eventually left after you reassured him you'd be fine. ian was of no help as he kept insulating it was better if you left. adam stormed off not long after, juliette following to calm him. she returned looking dejected and assumed she and adam fought. kenji suggested the three of you go out for a walk, although it was late.
during the night stroll, all three of you got emotions off your chest. kenji's feelings about the whole situation, juliette's issues with adam (they were still technically broken up) , and your turmoil with warner. kenji was somewhat holding back, but you knew he was just trying to hold up a strong facade.
as you disclosed your confusion and feelings, kenji had many questions, from disbelief, and juliette mainly just patiently listened and remained silent.
"so you like the guy, for what his personality? totally has nothing to do with his looks?
"hey, i'm not shallow! ...aaron just happens to be gifted with excellent looks."
"hearing you call him aaron is so weird. and i'm not judging you if you did. seeing adam shirtless is probably what drew juliette to him at the start."
"hey!"
the light banter made the solemn conversation easier to talk through. it was nice to be always from everything for a bit, and just act like friends.
you three returned back, kenji walked to the door first, and juliette grabbed your wrist to stop you from following him.
"i just want to talk to you alone real quick. about warner,.. or aaron, whatever you call him."
you held your breath, partly ready for her to possibly start another argument.
"i know you're confused about what you feel for him still, but i need you to know if you decide you love him - i'll support you. i don't want it to get in the way our bond. after everything that's happened... i realized there no time to waste on petty little things, especially about guys. all that should matter is we're always here for each other."
you give each other another heartfelt and tearful hug; glad kenji wasn't there to comment on how sappy and emotional it is.
"so, just between us sisters, do you think you love him?"
you laugh, and open the truth of your heart of her.
back inside, you all prepared for him or, as aaron called it a "slumber party." wasn't too far off since everyone besides james, adam, and castle slept on the ground.
your place was between kenji and juliette, each of you having your own pillow and blanket. winston and brendan bantered a bit about kicking faces before the turns finally went out.
"kenji, i know it will be incredibly hard, but keep your hands to yourself."
"you wish. you should be telling your sister that, she's basically all over me every night."
"shut up."
the next day brought a lot of drama. the day started off late, leaving little time to discuss before aaron arrived. another fight between adam and juliette set off. the issue being that aaron was coming back, which adam was completely against. he had been fine with your stay, but he wouldn't compromise for letting him return. adam gave an ultimatum, if you brought warner he would essentially kick you out.
juliette went to your defense and partly aaron's for your benefit. this only set off adam more. kenji tried his hand at intervening but only got backlash from adam, who stormed off outside after. everyone else stayed quiet, but you could tell one or two silently agreed with adam.
you didn't wanna stir any more trouble than needed, so you started preparing yourself to go, clicking the little mechanism aaron gave you a couple times to ensure it worked.
brendan, winston, castle, lily insisted you stay as well. james also gave a small plead for you to remain. juliette believed she could still talk some sense into adam.
it felt great to have their support, but at the same time, you felt bad for having to divide everyone into teams, yours or adam's. instead of building a team, you were tearing one apart.
before you knew it, the newly fixed door was again slammed open by the same intruder from the day before. aaron barged in, almost of breath and distressed. you thought something happened to him because of how disarranged he looked.
he locked his gaze on you and speedily grabbed you in his arms, cupping your face and scanning you up and down for any injuries. you were a bit embarrassed as everyone was a witness to aaron fussing over your well-being.
"did you run here?"
"of course, you beeped the pager."
you assured him you were alright and turned back to everyone with faces of incredulity.
"woah, this is... freaky." winston began.
"i worked for this guy for more than a year and never even saw him smile."
you explained to aaron that you couldn't stay at the house any longer but couldn't leave everyone else either. he offers to have them stay in the training area, but kenji declines, needing a better offer. juliette sides with kenji, the rest don't fully trust warner, so they need reassurance.
you couldn't bare the thought of leaving everyone again, so you pleaded to aaron to give in to their demands, willing to compromise whatever. you were happy and a little shocked, along with everyone else, when he accepted the terms.
"i'll return tomorrow at fourteen hundred ho-" he sees your confused face again, "2 o'clock. i really must educate you on military time, amor"
"or you could just say the time on a clock like the average person."
aaron takes your hand and guides you back to the tank to make your way back to the base before anyone notes his disappearance.
you express your gratitude for his help, and he responds by saying there's not need, he would do whatever to ease your pain. he also partly owed it to you for being so dismissive when you believed your friends were alive.
"i know they all judge you right now, and maybe they always will. but, i do believe you're a good person, and sure, you have flaws, but who doesn't - i am certainly no saint. i don't want to fix you...just want to make you see yourself in a better light like i do." your final words before falling into a slumber against the window.
you return back to the base the way you came in with delalieu's help. your both back in aaron's room, not having said a word to each other since the tank. aaron's started to ask questions about what had happened back at adam's house. you briefly told him about the drama about adam not wanting you there if you were with warner.
aaron became upset, not liking how adam treated you, and reassured you he would harm him if you wanted him to. you quickly assure him that you didn't care about it, you weren't going to beg to stay where you weren't wanted. you were mostly concerned about what it had done to whatever relationship was left between juliette and adam. she obviously loved him, but she couldn't hold herself back for him either.
you go silent at the mention of juliette, remembering your last private conversation. aaron, being able to easily feel your emotions, pick up and it and presses for information.
"it's just.. she asked me if i loved you."
aaron's breath hitches, "what was your response."
"i told her, 'love is a strong word. i'm not even sure i fully understand it. but i think...no i know. i'm falling for him.' "
aaron didn't respond, he got up and went to his office, shutting the door behind him. you weren't sure what it meant. and you didn't see him for the rest of the day.
you couldn't sleep that night; your mind was doing circles in anticipation of the group's arrival tomorrow.
you got up with the intention of solely getting a glass of water, but then heard a loud noise come from the direction aaron's office.
wanting to make sure he was okay, you walked in without notice. the door was already halfway open, so you figured it was alright.
the room was bigger than your childhood home's living room; it was filled with different seats of furniture, books, shelf, etc. aaron was at his large desk - his shirt discarded and only wearing slacks and socks.
aaron's brushes you off, telling you to go to bed, but your focus is on a small jar in his hands. you ask what it is, but he avoids answering, so you grab the object yourself. he attempts to get it from you, but you move away - deja vu to when aaron wouldn't return your journal to you. it felt nice to be on the flip side of it for once.
you read the label and understood it was a medicine. then it clicked; it was for his scars. and he was embarrassed about it. it was kind of cute.
he confirms it's for his back, so you nicely offer to do it for him since he seemed to have trouble reaching it. he was obviously self-conscious no matter how much he denied it, and you told him it didn't matter; you'd already seen them. but he kept turning his back away from you. you were getting suspicious that the scars were only part of the reason he was hiding.
you got annoyed and impulsively used your power to keep him sat and finally make his back face you. you could apologize later.
then you saw it. yes, his scars were still there, but on top of that were your wonky star doodles. the ones you drew in his cells two weeks ago in his cell at omega point.
you were confused about how they were still there, darker than you remember. the pen you used was lousy; you would know since you used it to write and the ink always smudged. the pen ink was also blue, and this was black. the skin around it was also freshly red.
"wait.. is this tattooed?"
his silence confirmed it. you were speechless. he tattooed your silly little doodles. he needed the medicine to numb the pain of the ink.
"why would you do this?"
"figured it your mark was better than the ones my dad left me."
"aaron."
"it was the first time i looked at my back and smiled."
you think your heart burst on the spot.
"god, i would've made them better if i knew you were gonna mark it."
"they're perfect." god, you were ready to melt.
you compose yourself and insist you put on the medicine since it was your tattoo design that's causing him slight pain. he didn't protest this time. you applied it in silence, then worked up the courage to ask about his scars.
aaron was very hesitant, you were ready to be shut down, but then he opened up to you. his scars being a 'birthday gift' from his father. it was heartbreaking to hear and almost brought tears to your eyes, but you knew pity was the last thing he wanted.
"when you saw them back in my cell, i waited to see that look of repulse on your face, but it never came. you observed them so carefully like they were the most interesting thing to you. then you had the gall to say it was similar to abstract art."
"well, it's true. they're not ugly, and you're certainly not repulsive. the scars are like a show of strength for everything you've been through. they're yours; only you decide what they represent. anyone who thinks differently is a total loser."
"please, stop."
"i'm sorry, did i say something wr-"
"i love you. so much that the first thing i did when returning here after escaping omega point was getting delalieu to tattoo my skin because your marks faded. i didn't even let myself wash off in fear they'd disappear before i got a chance to preserve them. i couldn't wipe the smile off my face whenever i looked at it through a mirror. it always reminded me of you. our moments. our last kiss. i burn for you greatly, and you don't even realize it."
"aaron..."
"don't."
"you know how i feel. but i'm still figuring it out, this is all new to me, and i want to get to know you better-"
"please. just go." and you did.
the following day, right on schedule, aaron goes to pick up the group while you stay behind waiting in the training facility that he briefly gave you a tour of.
the group arrived, and you happily greeted them as they looked around the place in awe. aaron began to go over rules and boundaries for the group. after the previous night, you were unsure about where you stood with warner, so you decided to give him some space and stand with the rest of the group. as he spoke, he threw not-so subtle glances your way, making you confused about whether he was upset with you or not.
aaron ventured off, everyone was setting up their items, and you separated with kenji and juliette. they book had look more distressed upon their arrival. apparently, juliette took one last chance to try and convince adam to come along, he didn't budge, saying he had to protect james and encouraged juliette to stay as well. it resulted in an argument; eventually, he respected her decision to fight - but it would mean the end for them. you comforted your sister through her heartbreak, adam had been a big part of her life, even a bit of yours. so to say goodbye must've been hard for her.
kenji also tried to persuade adam, but it escalated, and the two started throwing harsh words at each other. you knew adam was his friends, whether they both acknowledged it or not, and after omega point, you were sure kenji didn't want to lose anyone else. leaving james behind made it worse.
the direction of conversation then turned to you, and you were originally going to deny any conflict, but kenji and juliette picked up on the tension between you and aaron.
juliette starts, "so, what happened with warner?"
"don't know what you mean."
kenji and juliette give each other a mutual glance, " we aren't blind; the guy kept looking at you as if you'd killed his puppy. like seriously, there could've been a rain cloud over him with how much he was sulking."
you opened up to the happenings of last night, leaving out too personal information about warner, and how you weren't sure what to do now. kenji lost his mind at the bit about the tattoo, this new side of warner still weirding him out.
"i thought you were into him?"
"i mean, i am. it's just all so confusing. i'm not trying to string him along, i just want to truly know him before i could want more with him. it feels like he knows every single thing about me, while i'm barely starting to paint a picture. or maybe he only thinks he loves me or he's only interested in me because of my gift."
"dude, everything he has done for us so far is all because of you. what kind of guy tattoo's a stupid drawing someone drew on their back? and i swear he gets cartoon heart eyes when he looks at you too long. i know i called you naive for believing it, but that was before i saw first hand how intimate his feelings are for you."
"he's right, y/n. think about if he only cared about your gift, he would've been treating us the same, after all, he brought both of us in. sure, he acts decent towards me, but i'm pretty sure it has more to do with the fact we're sisters. you don't play nice with someone's family unless you really like them."
you were silent as you absorbed both their perspectives.
kenji sighs, "damn, i need a love life."
"interested in someone else."
"technically single, but i'd choose the asylum over you."
"i'm starting to miss when you both were meek and quiet."
after that friendly therapy session, you regained your focus on the important task, formulating a plan to overtake anderson. you had a few ideas, some you talked about with aaron, but a seventeen-year-old girl can only do so much on her own, so that's why you bring in your sister, who is also seventeen. as the two of you went through essentially the same trauma, she had as much right to be a big part of this as you.
aaron came back hours later, and everyone gathered around and took a seat somewhere. to your surprise, aaron sat down right the to you. the tension is so much worse side by side. knowing aaron could read what you felt didn't make it better.
you began to illustrate the details of the plan, juliette helping fill in and explain points. the goal is to get anderson to sector 45; to do that, you had to take over sector 45. getting people and soldiers to rebel was going to be the trickiest part, and much of the group wasn't on board that it could work.
"we're going to have to show them our strengths, i'll help them see our strength." you explain.
"and if they shoot us?" ian counters..
juliette shrugs, "then don't do it, i'm sure my sister and i are capable of being amazing by ourselves."
"real humble , j."
brendan speaks up, "so, we've got somewhat of a synopsis of juliette's gift, but, no offense y/n, what is it you can do besides read minds?"
it was true; almost everyone wasn't aware of other capabilities you possessed. you didn't like to divulge your gift much back at omega point, kenji, juliette, and castle knowing the most. unlike juliette, who had many different events where she showed her amazing strength, and you were sure they saw more when she practiced at adam's house while you were separated.
you briefly revealed more about your powers, mind-reading, telekinesis, and your ongoing training in telepathic defense. you admitted to losing control a few times as well. the group looked more amazed as you went on.
"prove it."
"yeah, c'mon dude, show us."
everyone else started egging you on to make a show of your powers; you even saw aaron look interested in wanting to see it. you gave in, and asked aaron for permission to throw some objects around, he nodded.
you started levitating different objects and throwing a few around. kenji started begging for you to lift him, so you did - then winston and brendan kept begging to go next. you showcased a small shield of energy you were able to produce. lastly, they wanted to see your telepathic projection, but you explained it would involve harming one of them, so you shut it down.
"so like, you can do all that too right? since you can steal powers?" winston questions warner.
"yes, if i wanted to i could take hers, or any of your powers and use it."
you cough into your hand, "no one's better than the original, though."
"so the two of you together can basically can..."
"take over the world?"
"...was going to say kick serious ass, but you're not wrong."
warner doesn't respond, but you can see him holding back a smile.
the thought of warner taking powers was eerie to the group, but you reassured them of your faith and trust in aaron. then the conversation redirects to the plan. castle questions of what is supposed to happen if you do win, such as who is going to lead.
"i will." juliette pulls you by the arm next to her, "and y/n will help me."
the room falls silent. even warner is still. your head snaps to your sister, that was not a topic the two of you discussed. nor did you know it was up for discussion. you, of course, didn't express your surprise, you couldn't show doubt when this whole meeting relied on trust. juliette's speech on the new world motivated everyone to follow through with the battle plan, you silently supported it, but in your mind, you didn't think it was the best idea for you both to lead a whole country. you think juliette forgets just how young and inexperienced you both are.
but you were sure this was a problem that could be mended later, right?
aaron and you were alone in his room again, the silence so deafening, you mentally cringed. you attempted to start the conversation on his thoughts about the plan, but he began to brush you off. frustrated, you call him out on his recent behavior.
"why is it all or nothing with you? i didn't reject you- all i said was i want to know you better, i saw you in a bad light for a good while. i want to see the positive just as much."
"or maybe you're just expecting too much from me."
"why are you being so stubborn!"
"because you being disgusted with what you learn, would end me."
he walked out after, a common occurrence, it seemed, these past days.
you vented all your frustrations into training the next day. you told yourself you wouldn't focus on warner, no matter how good he looked in sweatpants, and instead use your pent-up energy to master your powers.
it paid off well; you got closer to creating a shield. but maybe a little too well, since you accidentally launched kenji across the room with your energy force. he got you back off, turning invisible and tripping you. juliette concentrated on moving her dumbbell with the force of will, but she struggled. reminded you a lot of your training at omega point. you offered her tips on what worked for you, and kenji coached.
at some point, you went to the back to drink from your water bottle, unintentionally near where warner was bench pressing. then suddenly you heard someone yell 'get down'. it all happened in a flash, you turned around a bit late, and the rock wall behind you came crumbling down at you. you quickly attempted to lift your hands, levitate most of the impact and braced yourself. suddenly, instead of your body colliding with dozen of sharp rocks, you were surrounded in bubbles. you turned the rumble into fucking bubbles.
you stood mouth wide open in shock for a minute, the people around you just as amazed. aaron was the first to run to you, asking if you were alright, and you nodded, still a bit shocked. he expressed his astoundment at your newfound skill.
juliette then came up to you and profusely apologized, and you assured her you were okay and accidents happen.
"i can't count how many times i almost knocked out castle with things during my training. you'll get the hang of it. plus, i'm sure aaron had trouble learning to control power too."
"oh, no. though i've always been very good at everything i do."
you smack his chest, "you are seriously no help."
you continue to train very hard for the rest of the week, your muscle will likely permanently ache in pain.
you and aaron hadn't gotten much better, you really did try to reach out so many times, but if he wasn't going to cooperate, why waste energy.
he made a habit of intentionally putting his focus on things around the base and working late, so he wouldn't see you until you were already asleep.
if things ended badly between you two, i'd be because of his own stupidity, not for your lack of trying nor the judgment of his character.
other than that, all was well. until kenjii decided to casually drop a bomb that adam and james were coming to the base. juliette started freaking out, and you weren't sure where you and adam stood, but you were excited to see james again.
adam arrived, and tensions between the ex-couple were high. they both were cordial but weren't sure how to act around one another. adam went up and apologized to you for his treatment, and you accepted it because he was once your friend, and you hated grudges. james excitedly greeted you, and you gave him a small tour.
then aaron showed up, ignoring adam, but he and james went back in forth in exchanges. it was very entertaining to watch, and aaron pointed out your enjoyment.
"why do you call her amor?"
"it means love in spanish."
"so, do you love her?"
"why, do you?"
"n-no! she's really pretty- i mean, i like her...no, ugh, she's like a million years older than me!"
"hey! i'm not prehistoric!"
you cut the exchange short, grabbing james on the shoulders and dragging him away, "how about we go back t kenji while i explain to you age numbers..."
you and juliette got upgrades in suits. yours similar to your former, but with minor changes. your color was now a darker red with accents of black, your coat was now high to low with slides for the sides of your legs to show, new knee-high combat coots, and new long fingerless gloves. yours and juliette's new material was made to accommodate your powers.
for training, you watched juliette and kenji go back in forth in combat - kenji mostly won due to technique, but juliette overpowered him a few times.
aaron came up to you, and insisted the two of you train in combat together. you rejected his offer; combat was not your forte, you were repeatedly told by kenji many times. so you just stuck to using your powers. but aaron wouldn't back off.
"it's important to learn combat, amor."
"if i run into a bad guy i'll just fling him away."
"and when you can't use your powers, what happens?"
you were going to argue that wouldn't happen, but knew it wouldn't suffice for him, so you just gave in, so he would shut up.
it was no shocker that he easily blocked your punches and stopped any attack. he even had the audacity to be amused at how badly you were doing.
"wow, you are quite terrible."
"okay, i get it i suck. can i go back to my training?"
"c'mon, amor, don't give up so easily. punch me."
as much as you were annoyed, you didn't want to physically hurt him. aaron laughed when you told him that. that itself, ticked you off. and it did not help that now you had an audience invested in the interaction.
you still didn't relent, aaron was a bit disappointed, but he focused on fixing your form.
you don't know if it was the fact aaron laughed, his constant comments, or all your pent-up frustration, but something came over you. while aaron was distracted with giving walking you through hitting an opponent, you hit him - hard. you might've used some of your powers to make the hit stronger, but he didn't need to know that.
aaron staggered back, shockingly caught off guard. you honestly expected him to block it like your other ones; but no you managed to land a hit on his cheekbone area, hitting some of the side of his nose. your poor form made for your knuckles to hurt badly.
everyone stopped what they were doing; even you froze. kenji in the back, trying not to laugh. aaron then recovered, his land touching the side of his face. his face didn't show anger, pain, nor surprise - he was smiling in admiration.
"oh my god, i'm so sorry!"
"no, don't apologize, amor. i'm very content being the first to experience your strength firsthand."
you and aaron ended up cutting practice short and went to the infirmary. you helped treat the large bruise on his face you'd given him as a small apology, and he wrapped your sprained knuckles and partly chasted you for incorrect hand form. was he looking to get punched again?
the following day, aaron woke you up earlier than your normal routine. he mentioned an opportunity for you and juliette to finally get practice outside of the base, and you quickly agreed. you asked why so suddenly, and then he disclosed he was going to visit his mother. it was her birthday, he explained. he didn't say much after that and went over that kenji will keep you and juliette invisible after he leaves.
but you couldn't help your curiosity and asked a little about his mother. hearing the story of his ring broke your heart. the only gifts you got were when you and juliette exchanged homemade gifts for your shared birthday, but the story made you appreciate that tradition much more.
"i think it's good you still visit her."
"is it?"
"it is. knowing you have someone there is sometimes enough. whenever i remembered i had my sister with me, it made the asylum not completely terrible. and around you, i feel like i achieve anything."
juliette, kenji, and you, invisible, met with warner at his tank. you didn't even need to tell him of your presence before he helped you into the tank and got on the driver side to start it.
"how'd you..." you ask, confused.
"i can sense your presences. especially yours."
"woah, freaky. what's mine feel like? peanut better?" he got ignored.
you settled on the opposite window side, juliette next to you, and kenji next to aaron. kenji started shuffling around, uncomfortable.
"dude, y/n, switch seats with me."
"what why?"
"your boyfriend is touching my leg."
"you flatter yourself." aaron interjects.
"c'mon hurry up! i think he's about to knife me..."
"just switch with juliette. it's easier."
"no way, if i'm gonna move, i might as well get the window seat."
you roll your eyes (not that he can see), and the two of you begin a messy movement of bodies to switch seats. poor juliette, stuck in the middle, getting hit by an occasional limb.
"ow, you just hit me in the face-" juliette complains.
"sorry, i'm trying my best-"
"now you just hit me!" you exclaim.
"oh my god, let me just-"
"kenji!"
kenji was the first to get to his new seat, you were situated over both him and juliette. kenji, tired of your leg in his face, shoved you with brief warning. and in an attempt to stable yourself you put your hands out on aaron's lap, but one hand missed. and landed on his groin. aaron visibly flinched and put his lips together in a straight line to contain his painful expression.
you gasped and hastily moved your hands in a panic, then to make matters worse - you fell face first in his lap. you were so happy to be invisible at the moment.
aaron takes a sharp intake of air, and his knuckles turn white from how tight he grips the wheel. you scramble you sit correctly, accidentally putting a hand on his groin again before finally in the seat. the silence was deafening.
aaron promptly dropped you both off at an empty site and bid you goodbye. you gave him some last words for comfort that you noticed he appreciated. then he went off.
sometime later, it was time for the four of you to meet up again. the practice had been somewhat successful. there were many miscalculations with practicing and being invisible. the three of you kept stumbling into each other, having the wrong place meant, and arguing over who was right. but ignoring that, you did get some practice in there.
aaron, however, was unusually late. it worried you. kenji and juliette didn't think much of it. but since you knew his location, you sensed there was something wrong. you asked both of them to check on him to ensure he was already, and you three walked to the house. you avoided mentioning aaron's mother.
you asked juliette and kenji to wait outside as you went inside.knji begrudgingly agreed, ensuring he could keep the invisibility up inside, too. juliette bid you to be careful and return as soon as possible.
you saw a few different pictures of aaron with his mother as a child. you looked through different rooms until you found him. he was sitting on the floor with his knees to his chest, his frame trembling. his mother died; you put together. you quickly knelt down and gave him a hug that he accepted. you let him hold you tightly as he sobs sorrowfully. it was painful to witness, so you let him cry onto your shoulder for however long he needed.
an hour later you returned, kenji and juliette already in the tank, no invisibility. you didn't need for them to say anything to know they had questions, so you avoided their gaze. next to you, aaron held your hand the whole way back
his mother's death reminded you of his family, the unknown fact to him that he shares blood with adam and james. you wanted him to know, but truly, you didn't want any part of that mess. knowing was already knawing at you as it was. juliette disagreed; she thought adam needed to tell aaron.
you thought leaving aaron alone was the best decision. you even planned to spend the night where everyone else was. but as you were packing a bag, he stopped you. aaron grabs your arm and turns you to look at him.
"you're right. i am holding back. i was telling you how much you were in denial, but it was me who was holding back. you've always seen me in a light like no one has. i've never thought of myself as even a decent man until you came around. and it scares me. so much. i'm afraid of disappointing you, and you'll be disgusted with me, see the monster i see every day in the mirror. but if giving more of myself is all it takes to be yours, then it's done. you can learn every crevice of my soul if it means you'll stay with me."
you knew it then, "i love you." you are in love.
he grabs your face and kisses you in less than a second. the kiss being so loving and careful, he takes his time memorizing your lips. he lifts you in the air prompting you to wrap your legs around his waist. from there, the kiss molds into passion and need. before you know it, you're both lying on the bed with him hovering over you.
aaron groans into your mouth, "say it again."
you softly giggle, "i love you."
"god, you have no idea what you just unleashed, amor."
your stomach is doing a million glips. your entire body is in frenzy. you're ready to have a heart attack there and then. it was only just the beginning as well.
"lift your hips for me, amor."
"c'mon, angel, don't get shy on me now."
"i'm afraid you're never getting rid of me now mi amor."
very long night.
you slept through most of the morning, only woken up by aaron laying kissing down your neck. then he started going lower down your body. any sleep you had was now gone.
"aaron.. what are you doing."
"nothing."
"liar."
"shhh.. you just lay there, i'm just going to enjoy my breakfast."
the man was insaitable; you were sure you weren't ever gonna get out of bed that day. but eventually, you did. had to dedicate half an hour to walking properly again.
you went to you rfinal fitting for suits, and the new look was incredible. juliette traded the purple for a new black suit - kenji not liking his color stolen.
"why am i the only one in color now?"
"so, you can get spotted and shot at first while the rest of us get away." kenji answers.
"you're the worst."
aaron walked up behind you and whispered in your ear, "how quickly can you take this off?"
you smack his chest and give a playful disapproving look.
"i mean, it definitely can stay on, too."
"aaron!"
the bliss of everything helped ease your nerves for the following day. you were sat in aaron's room going over the plan for the millionth time. aaron kept reassuring you you'd be perfect and worrying will do nothing but install fear.
"it's just... what if it backfires. what if no one listens or surrenders?"
"it wont and they will."
"you're right. i'll just tell them my scary boyfriend will come after them."
"for you? always." he kisses your cheek, "i like the sound of you saying boyfriend, but scary?"
"well, everyone besides me is pretty scared of you."
"and what about you, what do you think of me?"
"i think you're cute."
"cute? yeah, let me show you just how cute, i can be."
aaron can never take his off of you for too long.
the next day, you, juliette, and the others stood in front of sector 45. both the people and the soldiers gathered there, all of their eyes fixed on your group. it was like the world's largest show and tell.
aaron started it off with a speech, informing everyone of the truth and the fact you and juliette were alive and well. then your sister took over, and directly told the crowd the plan to destroy the reestablishment, you gave a few words of your own, but juliette did most of the talking much to your relief.
then the questions from the crowd starting, so it was time for the group to showcase their powers. finally it was down to juliette and you.
juliette climbed to a building s good hundred feet from the ground, then jumped off and landed - making the ground tremble and shatter beneath her.
"how the hell do i top that?" you whisper to yourself.
with a comforting look from aaron, and a deep breath, you stepped into the front. you looked for a fairly easy but impressive thing to lift and spotted a very tall tower. bingo.
using your ability, you began carefully levitating it above the ground. you closed your hand into a fist, and the tower began breaking into bits. people began to panic as the rubble started coming toward them, but suddenly, you transformed the pieces into butterflies flying around the people. everyone looking around in amazement.
you took the biggest deep breath once you were done. very happy your practice paid off, and you didn't accidentally end up killing a crowd.
the crowd cheered and roared. the presentation proved to be successful because they got on board with destroying the reestablishment. the soldiers surrendered and joined the rebellion.
back in the training room, everyone was overjoyed with the success of overtaking sector 45, but now came the hardest part. winning a war.
juliette ran straight to you, attacking you in a very strong hug. so strong you had to tell her to chill on the power a bit. she apologized and released you. the recent events were still reeling in your mind, not fully comprehended.
"oh my god, juliette what did we just do?"
"we just started a war my dearest sister."
and now you had to wait to face anderson in likely a day or two. he almost killed you last time. but you wouldn't let him get lucky again.
the group, minus aaron, sat in the training room discussing what was next. one talk to another led to the topic of anderson.
"i've never even met the guy. wonder what he's like?"
"he's handsome. it's actually insane how evil, but striking he is." you blurt out.
juliette agrees, but the group looks at you weirdly.
"dude, you just called your boyfriend's dad attractive."
"what? i don't mean it in a weird way."
"hey, at least you've got a backup option if the first anderson doesn't work out. "
you throw a pillow at kenji's head.
then the topic of anderson's name came about, and that's when the trouble began. adam answered his name was paris; but suddenly, aaron arrived in the room, overhearing the conversation.
aaron put him against the wall, interrogated him on how he knew, and adam not saying anything. you couldn't take it anymore, so you yelled out the truth.
"he's your bother!"
aaron didn't believe it. juliette kept pressuring adam until he finally confessed. everyone gave the two of them space to work things out as everyone else busied themselves. when all was on steady terms, aaron sat with you.
"you should've told me."
"i know, i'm sorry. but it really wasn't my secret to tell."
"i had a right to know."
"c'mon, if you had some sort of family secret of mine, would you tell me right away?"
he hesitates, "you're right. you didn't want to get involved, i understand that."
you tell yourself it didn't matter, but you couldn't help but ask, did he deliberately avoid answering. you brush it off, probably nothing.
you returned to aaron's room, you both talked about the brother situation more, and aaron mentioned spending more time with both kent's. you were happy to see he was content to learn about his new family and want to see them more.
"this is great. i'm happy when you're happy. it's deserve more close people in your life."
"but i have you, and that's enough."
"very sweet, but family relationships are different. i was fortunate to have a sister in my life. what if my mother hadn't had the both of us, juliette not being my sister? seems unimaginable.."
aaron goes rigid, being in his lap, you notice immediately, "you alright?"
he relaxes and nods, "this whole situation has me a bit disorientated. enough brother talk. let me remind you why our relationship has much better advantages than other ones.."
a full night of sleep was just a foreign concept at this point.
it took one day for anderson to come to the sector. you all had luckily kind of prepared for it, so there was a plan set that you all were to follow. kenji, juliette, and you were responsible for going to the ship to deal with anderson while the rest took care of the matter on land.
before separating, you said your farewell and good luck to aaron. you tried to cry when saying goodbye to james and promising all would be fine. lastly, you gave aaron a kiss, and you promised each other to be safe.
"i have no doubts that you will succeed. my father can't even fathom the power you possess."
as you three board the port, you notice the massive groups of soldiers. juliette has the idea of you pushing them into the water with your powers, which you do.
you each take turns getting onto the ship, 5-second gap each. however, once you get inside, you can't find neither juliette or kenji. still invisible, you take your chances going through different doors, trying not alert soldiers.
but it fails because bullets began shooting in your direction. you run as fast as you can; unlike juliette, you are not invincible neither was your suit, at least not entirely.
with your invisibility gone, you get cornered with at least 7 soldiers, armed. your instincts kick in, and you start throwing men and attacking them with your energy. one soldier begins shooting at you when you're caught off guard. you hold your hand out as a protection and close your eyes, but you see the bullet is stopped - by your shield. you hadn't even made an effort to create it yet, and it presented itself like it was an automatic presence.
after witnessing that, the guard abandoned the ship and ran off. you couldn't blame him; you doubt he got paid enough to deal with all this.
you attention is shifted when you heard loud crashes and screams. you recognize them as your friend and your sister. you rush toward the room where the sound was originating.
you see kenji on the ground in pain and juliette not too far off; she's crouched down, clutching her head, and struggling to stand. you spot anderson, with another man, who you recognize is causing juliette's pain with his sonic wave gift.
you focus your energy on the boy, focusing on hurting him. then he stops his pressure waves and starts howling in pain, crouching down like juliette had. you were in a trance, channeling all your energy into hurting the guy, then - you snapped his neck.
you ran to juliette first, helping her get up, then you checked on kenji who was in worse shape.
anderson drew his gun, and started shooting bullets at you both, but it simply just bounced off. you and juliette drew your own weapons; you looked at each other and knew what had to happen next.
you focus your energy on anderson, his legs then collapse under him. he starts scrambling on the ground. juliette steps on his hands - shattering his borns with her power.
"remember that lesson on justice getting served?"
you shoot him in the chest, and juliette aims for his head.
4 shots - one for adam, one for aaron, one for juliette, and one for you.
it was a blur after that. sara and sonya were found and attended to kenji who was luckily not in any fatal condition, he would be okay.
it felt like you were experiencing someone out-of-body, unreal. juliette went up to the speaker system, capable of speaking to the entirety of the sector. she announced the end of the reestablishment and its new leader.
he was dead. it was over.
still bloodied and bruised, you stood on the tallest tower of the compound. you hadn't talked to anyone; everyone too busy rejoicing. but you were still digesting everything that had just happened.
you look over the new land and wonder what could be in store next.
you're not surprised when juliette and aaron find you, they know you too well at this point. they don't say anything and each take a side next to you. aaron puts a hand around your waist and tugs you toward him.
"the entire rest of the world is coming after us now, you know."
"i'd love to see them try." juliette says confidently.
"i believe as long as our bonds remain strong, we can overcome anything." though. that wasn't how you really felt.
you didn't want to damper a glorious day. but you couldn't help the pit forming inside of your stomach, telling you this was only the beginning of a treacherous path.
but nothing come could destroy the bonds you forged, right?

aaron warner continues to make way into your life, and it's only a matter of time before you grow fond of him too.
(taken place during unravel me)
continuation of the hcs from this piece!
Tumblr media
a/n: hey y'all.... the long awaited pt 2 is finally here. so sorry for the wait, but i had some major writer's block with this at first, and tbh life has been a lil hectic rn with classes n stuff, so thank you for all the love and support on the first headcannons, and thank you for being patient with me! i truly cant express enough how happy i get when you guys compliment my work <3 as usual, hayden is my personal fc, imagine who you like !
side note: i know reader might seem kind of useless at times even tho she has powers, but it's because she doesn't have a full control of her ability yet, still learning how far it goes, and she doesn't have much practice on defensive uses of it, since a lot of her training is about learning about her powers. hope that makes sense LOL. some big events are going to be briefed over bc i didnt wanna bore yโ€™all with stuff you alr read in the book and wanna focus on warner & reader interactions๐Ÿ‘
word count: 8.2k
warnings: some plot changes, vague taylor swift reference, mentions of injuries and blood, some violence
Tumblr media
after receiving the note, you immediately crumped it and stuffed it into a random drawer with your clothing. you hadn't told a soul about the message, you feared it would only make the implication of meeting warner again true.
thinking about the note was a pipeline to thinking about aaron warner. thinking about him meant flashing back to the last moment the two of you shared.
his lips on yours, his confessions of his infatuation, and of course, the way your shot him in the chest. you hated how the memory was brung a warm and unfamiliar feeling in your chest, especially thinking back to the kiss.
you told yourself it wasn't a big deal. maybe another member at the base decided to play a prank on you, or perhaps it was just an empty threat. there was no way warner knew your location, so there's no need to tell anyone about the silly note.
but to be extra cautious, you laid off going on missions to the outside for a little bit. plus, it forced juliette to interact with people that weren't you on missions when you weren't there.
you went along with your routine as usual, training with castle and kenji, and hanging out with juliette and adam.
you didn't hate castle by any means, but you find his underlying scrutinization of both you and your sister at times to be bothersome. his constant pushy treatment to juliette never sat right with you either, but since he was the leader of omega point - you knew you had to still show respect for him.
although, you started to notice a strain between the couple recently, mostly from adam's side. there was obviously something he was keeping from juliette.
you comforted your sister to the best of your ability, but you knew not knowing was starting to affect her. kenji also seemed to know whatever this secret was, but was adamant on keeping his lips shut.
however, once castle took adam away in the middle of you guys eating lunch, juliette demanded answers since it was obvious adam himself was struggling to reveal it himself.
this time kenji was helpful and guided you and juliette to the research labs. there you both saw castle engaging adam in some sort of tests, and it sent your sister into a fit of rage, mainly aimed at castle. which then resulted in her angrily punch the ground, causing for a large earthquake that shook the entire establishment.
juliette was passed out for three days before waking up. you worried for her endlessly during those days, it was the one of the only times you intentionally listened for her thoughts, to ensure she was alright, but it was scarily silent. you knew adam also was quite worried for juliette, but castle made sure he kept his distance.
after that, her and adam were on some sort of unofficial break up, and you knew better than to get involved. juliette was also now required to join you and kenji in training, which made for a chaotic, but fun trio.
your powers were getting easier to control, you were working on levitating heavier objects every time. you've practiced mental manipulation on insects and small animals, so you had a gist of to what extent you could control a mind. the most you've done so far was send simple commands like jump, sit, move, etc. kenji always offered to be a test subject for this, but you always declined, not liking the thought of possibly controlling the mind of your friend.
now that you could control when to apprehend thoughts, it made it much easier to make friends without disrespecting people's privacy. while sara and sonya were always kind to you, others had made it sort of clear they wanted to keep their distance to prevent their mind from being read by you. being able to now reassure others that their thoughts weren't being heard made it easier for people to approach you.
much like juliette you found new friends in brendan, with an electric ability, and winston, who had a stretchy ability and also designed the suits for both ferrars.
days at omega point were serene for a bit, everyone following routine and members continuing to patrol areas for any threats of the reestablishment. but it was surely disrupted with the arrival of threatening news.
it was in the middle of the night when you were dragged away from your bed by kenji to castle's office; juliette and adam following suite. he claimed it was an urgent matter that required the presence of the four of you.
there, castle revealed the return of the supreme commander, also known as warner's father - that was big news to you and juliette. it explains how warner was able to be out with his men in the sector so often.
however, news worsened when you found out brendan and winston along with emory and ian were taken by the reestablishment during their patrol. at their missing location was left a note, with specific instructions on how to proceed.
you were shaken by this discovery, it had been only less than 24 hours since you had last spoken with either of them, both you and juliette had had breakfast with brendan and winston.
that wasn't even the end of if, castle instructed that all four of you were to go to this meeting destination.
all of you were taken aback by this, you had initially assumed castle would be the one to see the supreme, since has is the leader and all.
adam and kenji were at the head of the protest against this plan, not wanting to easily comply . both you and juliette remained silent, still taking in all the information given.
you without a doubt were ready to head in for the safety of your friends, but you also didn't like the unpredictability of the situation you all could possibly wander into with the commander.
"the two of you may opt out as you like, but i am requesting the aid of both ferrars, seeing as they are the ones very explicitly instructed to see the supreme - a sort of exchange, them for the hostages. "
again, everyone in the room was stunned with confusion. all having the same question, why would he need both sisters there?
you didn't know the room could've possibly erupted into more chaos than right now. adam was now furious, kenji not too far behind with questions of his own.
you couldn't help but think back to the note you found in your pocket, "see you soon." is this what he had meant? had he known this would occur that long ago?
again, you shook the thought from your mind. aaron warner wasn't the one who sent the order, it was the supreme, so it's possible warner will not even be at the location the four of you are suppose to go to.
no need to think about warner, you told yourself. no need to remember how he kissed you with ferocious passionate intent.
with this newfound knowledge, you knew you couldn't back away from this, not when there were lives at stake, and you didn't have to be familiar with the supreme to know he would not hesitate to take the lives of omega point members.
you looked toward juliette to inquire her thoughts about the situation. you understood from the look on her face that she had a similar plan of action to you. a telepathic (without actually reading her mind this time) message was communicated between both of you, making a mutual agreement.
"we'll do it." you announced over the arguing.
castle was pleased with this decision, but immediately adam objected, and even kenji was hesitant for you both to go through with the plan. however, stubborn as ever, both of you committed to your decision.
preparing for the meeting with warner's father was nerve-racking, worried for the safety of your team, and also the hostages. you and everyone knew this had to be some sort of trap set up by the commander, but there wasn't much you could do besides arm yourself and comply.
the four of you were gathered in castle's office. castle made sure all four of you were equipped with necessary gear for the mission, including having weapons with you.
you attire was the same as usual, a red leather corset-styled top, a matching leather coat-like jacket, black pants in a stretchy material, accompanied with black fingerless gloves and black knee-high boots - except now you had the addition of a harness and holsters up your leg to hold any firearms given to you. the coat did well in concealing a lot of the guns.
luckily, you had a good amount of practice with a gun since the warner incident. you were no james bond, as a man kenji liked to reference, but you had enough skill to defend yourself and others in the face of danger.
"why does warner's father need both sisters?" kenji humorously asked castle, "can't we at least keep one of them, one for the reestablishment and one for omega point."
you scoffed with a grin, entertaining the joke. "i'm sorry, who exactly are you willing to sacrifice to the reestablishment kenji?"
"well, with that attitude i'm starting to lean towards you."
castle goes through the plan once more before having to leave with the rest of omega point. they had to be stationed around building near the meeting point before the four of you arrived.
the time finally arrived for all of you to begin the journey to meeting the commander. since you all were traveling on foot, adam and kenji leading the way, you needed to leave at least an hour before the designated time.
adam was able to successfully turn off his protective shield for kenji to make all of you invisible. it made the journey easier; being able to wander through the land unseen.
after kenji misguided you to the wrong house, you all rushed to get to the correct address, 1542 sycamore. with 50 seconds of time, you all arrived.
juliette made the quick decision to tell kenji and adam to stay hidden, that it was better if warner's dad thought we were alone. in the case of an emergency, they could jump in.
kenji and adam gave a few last words of reassurance, before turning back invisible. then, you and juliette stood in front of the door of meeting house, holding hands before entering the house.
warner's dad did the job of opening the door for you both, inviting you inside even though it was more a of demand, and commenting on your impeccable timing.
once inside, you got a good look at the man. you shouldn't be shocked he was also quite handsome since he is warner's father, but you were still thrown back by his unexpected attractiveness.
unfortunately, you didn't take him his appearance for long before he abruptly & forcefully pushed juliette head against the wall behind her, momentarily knocking her out.
you didn't even get to process the action before you were pushed roughly against the wall, the commanders right forearm holding you down by the throat, while his left hand was disarming you.
almost as if acted on instinct, you pushed him back with a scarlet force, sending him back first onto a nearby table.
you took a second to get react, unsure of what happened, before rushing over to your sister. juliette didn't seem to be bleeding, luckily, but you figured she might have a concussion. much to your surprise, she sat up straighter attempting to act unfazed.
you were roughly yanked away by your wrist and away from juliette. you attempted a second self-defense act, but the commander was first and pulled out his gun, pointing it to your sister.
"try anything else, and i'll shoot her before you could blink."
your silence was a sign of defeat. you stood still as he unarmed you, even taking off your coat for good measure.
he released you finally then went on to do the same to juliette, who was still recovering from the slight blackout she faced from the collision with the wall - he repeated the threat to her, gun pointing in your direction this time.
you swore if you made it out of here alive you were going to learn more defensive uses of your powers to never be in a position like this again.
juliette must've been refocused on the task at hand because she starting asking the commander for the location of the hostages.
you stomach dropped when he disclosed his army is equipped and ready to take down any omega point members who are lingering by.
he went on to elaborate his plan to eliminate the "freaks" that made up the rebellion. but what got your heart beating faster was the mention of warner.
he directs his talk to you, "i admit, your sister, juliette, had piqued my interest quite a bit with her ability and history, i'd never paid much more than a glance in your direction. but what really astounded me, was when my son begged me to spare your life." he smiles, in a terrifying manor, "i just had to meet this girl whose bewitched him and spelled him into such a lovesick fool."
you felt physically stuck to your place as you listened. you didn't have to look at juliette to know she was also frozen.
'did aaron really do that?'
he turns in your direction, "i have every intention to use you to teach my son a lesson, and that will just have to include your death much to your misfortune. i really do hate to waste a pretty face." you face pales at the mention of your death.
then he faces your sister, who had taken a sudden step in front of you, "but that doesn't mean the older ferrars has to suffer the same fate and couldn't prove to be useful to join me in the capitol."
"i'd rather jump off a very steep cliff, thanks."
you wanted to laugh at your sister's retort, but you couldn't help but worry that he'd kill her for her denial. you'd rather be the sole target of his persecution than drag your sister down into it as well.
you reminded yourself adam and kenji were still around, they would surely arrive in time before either of you could be dead. you hoped.
the commander, however, does laugh at your sister's rejection, "a stubborn one you are."
"son, would you come in here, please?"
your eyes widen, warner was here this whole time.
you and juliette glanced at the same time, both being shocked at his presence.
when he appears in the doorway, all the memories of the event in his room come back to haunt you.
his face was void of any emotion, but his stare directed intensely toward you.
there was no time for small talk, because warner's father handed him a gun, meant to kill you. he places it in aaron's hand and aiming it to your head, dishing out the command to 'clean up his mess.'
you wouldn't be surprised if he had intentions to shoot you, you quite literally had shot him the last time you'd seen each other.
juliette let out yells of protests, telling warner to put the gun down.
you were preparing ways to defend yourself, mainly involving levitating an object and throwing it at either person with murderous intent toward you. but you weren't sure how you could hide the movement of your hand, and red glow of your eyes, when the attention was all on you.
but you couldn't help solely stare back into aaron's emerald green eyes. you wondered if this would be your last sight before death.
no, you refused to succumb to death like this, you wouldn't give anderson the pleasure.
you stared back into the green eyes, daring him to take a shot. this could be really courageous or terribly stupid.
then in the next instant, the gun had a new target, his father.
his father didn't look too fazed, confident that his son wouldn't shoot him, even patronizing him for it.
you didn't wait to find out if he would go through with it because now that the attention shifted, you could execute your plan of action.
the supreme and warner were both knocked down by the large heavy table being thrown at them. granted, aaron wasn't your target, but it didn't hurt to knock him down in case he intended to shoot you.
juliette took the opportunity to get the firearms the commander has taken at the beginning, and use the gun to shoot him in the leg. both legs. multiple times.
you were about to reel her back, when kenji appeared out of thin air, literally, and held juliette back from further injuring anderson.
suddenly, you remembered warner was still in the room. you looked around to find him passed out on the ground, a syringe, you guessed kenji used, next to him.
kenji tossed you as roped and told you to bound his arms, so, you knelt down on the floor next to him, carefully shifting him to place the rope.
as you did this, you noticed his features closely, how different he seemed unconscious, at peace. it kind of made him more beautiful.
out of your better judgement, you reached out slowly to touch a lock of his blonde hair, soft.
you immediately pulled your hand away when you thought you felt a stir, but you looked back to his face and he was still unconscious.
maybe, if you had looked a little closer you'd notice the ghost of a small smirk on his lips.
"we're going to take this kid hostage."
you were brought to your current situation with that statement.
"wait, what!" kidnapping wasn't on your to-do list for the day.
however, the most shocking news to be said in this room, was when adam dropped the bomb that the supreme command, warner's father, was his dad - making warner his half brother.
in the midst of all this chaos, omega point had already set off the call to attack, and now were battling against the reestablishment.
there was no time to think about events because kenji was rushing everyone out the door to get back to the safe haven.
the four of you needed to a large distraction so castle could draw back before major disaster since anderson was down and you now had taken warner. juliette promptly stepped up with an idea and create a part two of her earth-shattering ability. - which it turned out working really well because you all were able to make contact with castle.
adam and kenji did the heavy lifting of carrying aaron's heavy body while you and juliette had the task of finding a tank for the four of you to head to omega point in.
once that was settled all of you clambered into the tank, kenji taking the wheel and adam acting as second in command - that left you and juliette in the back with warner.
who was currently to the left of you, slumped against the window side of his seat, and juliette being on your right.
you weren't thrilled to have him smushed next to you. not when you were close enough to smell his cologne and feel the outline of his muscles through his jacket.
a part of you thought he would maybe wake up somewhere during the ride, but his eyes remained close. you know because you were staring at him more than you'd like to admit.
you reminded yourself what he had put you and juliette through, the asylum, the imprisonment, and the tests. it was enough to reel you back in and continue your dislike for warner.
although he was asleep, the bumps on the travel to the underground base made for a lot of jolts of movement and in turn caused warner's body to tumble onto you.
his body was heavy, but somehow it was heavier whenever you had to push him back to his side. it was like a force was trying to keep him on there.
his head somehow always slumped into the hair on the crook of your neck, and at some point, you could've sworn you felt him breathe in through his nose, like a sniff. but you wrote it off as the movement of the vehicle.
you must've passed out at a point because when you opened your eyes, you were lying against warner's shoulder.
your face was a flush of scarlet when you realized your position, but luckily juliette was fast asleep, and the two men were occupied in the front, likely going over today's events. thank god.
not long after, you all arrived at the destination and made it out of the tank.
kenji helped pull you out of the tank, not before leaving a teasing comment.
โ€œhave a nice nap, did you?โ€
you ignored him, but your face went red in embarrassment. he would never let you live this down.
you took a rest for a whole day before interacting with anyone. you weren't sure if you could handle any other sudden revelation without rest, especially if it involved warner.
castle came to you and juliette to discuss further the plan with warner and such. and you were reminded of the fact adam and him were technically brothers, which was kept a secret between all four of you still.
then castle gave you both the most ridiculous task; to be in charge of the questioning and occasionally visiting the prisoner. his reasoning being you both were the most acquainted with warner, and he'd be more willing to comply with at least one of you.
you wanted to decline; you didn't understand why castle always sent everyone else to do work for him - but you knew your sister was happy to finally have a real assignment for omega point; she wanted to be useful.
so the following day, you began your "mission." you sisters went to where they were holding warner, a room much like where you and juliette slept, but the difference was it closely guarded, not letting the person inside leave.
you greeted the guards, and they had looked very relieved to see you there. apparently, warner has been less than pleasant as an inmate - throwing things and demanding to speak with you, and they informed him the two of you would be arriving to calm him down.
you stepped into the room and noticed the lack of furniture, probably because he was throwing, then you saw warner sitting on a mattress on the floor, indulging himself in some sort of journal that you didn't get to get a look at before he put it away.
he looks up at your arrival with a grin, "hello amor, a pleasure to see you again at last." he scanned your attire, "i have to say, this new look on you has you looking rather ravishing."
you rolled your eyes, fighting the butterflies because of his comment. "how you manage to be a prisoner and still keep that stupid charm goes beyond me."
"i did say i'd see you soon didn't i?"
juliette gave you a confused glance, you hadn't told her about the note, nor the kiss.
you ignored what he said, trying redirect the conversation. you glanced down at his chest, "nice to see you've healed from the shot, for a moment, i thought i'd killed you."
"takes a lot more to kill me i'm afraid, however, if it's by your hand i'm more than willing to greet death like an old friend."
before you could bite back, juliette interrupted your banter with a cough, meant to serve a reminder to you to stay on task.
"right, forgot you were here juliette, perhaps you'd like to step out so your sister and could properly reunite."
god, you hated his suaveness. you hated it even more when it worked in making your heartbeat pick up.
juliette took charge of the conversation and started asking questions relevant to the establishment, but warner would either change the subject or give vague answers.
you both decided to leave after growing tired of the lack of information. you ignored warner's pleas for the company and walked out.
the next day you both tried again, meeting in from of his room. juliette, however had decided a change of tactics.
"i think you should go in without me."
you turned to her confused. she explained he would likely be more cooperative with your presence alone, his actions from yesterday proving to be in support of that.
you denied it, even if part of you believed it. you weren't sure you were ready to be in a room alone with aaron.
nonetheless, juliette left you to your own devices and rushed off, probably to find adam or kenji, before you could protest further.
you cursed her, but prepared to enter the room in front of you.
aaron was lying down, resting an arm behind his head and using the other to throw and object up and down. once he noticed you he sat up in your direction.
he noticed the lack of presence of juliette, and you could tell he was more than pleased.
"finally, i was starting to think your sister would chaperone us forever."
"don't be so eager to be alone, i could shoot you again."
"and i'd willingly take another bullet if it meant another kiss."
you couldn't help the annoying pink tint on your face that came up with the mention of the kiss.
you changed topic, "how were you able to send me that note?"
he smirked, "well for one, i noticed you after our eyes met briefly during your first time outside in the sector. after that, it was blatantly obvious who you were; that disguise did nothing to hide your gorgeous face, unfortunately for you. and then it wasn't hard to order a civilian to drop the note in your pocket while you were distracted."
you were stunned; you really hadn't thought to think he recognized you. you thought you blended in pretty well on those missions.
"okay, stop distracting me, what are your father's plans."
"hmm, maybe if you ask nicely and give me a kiss - i'd be more willing to comply."
you left shortly after that, knowing you weren't going to get much out from him.
it continued like that for a few days; you'd walk in, try to get information, but then he'd turn it back into a way to flirt with you or bring up the kiss.
this time when you walked in, you saw him reading the journal from the first day, and you were able get a better look at it. it was yours.
"hey, what are you doing with my-"
"dear diary, today i checked out a book from the library, there was a rather intimate scene between the main charact-"
you immediately recognized the writing as your own and strided across the room to aaron to snatch your journal back.
warner was quicker, standing up in a snap, keeping a distance from you as read aloud more pages.
you yelled at him to stop, catching up to him, but now he held the book to the ceiling, making it harder for you to reach because of his tall body.
you, much to your embarrassment, jumped up and down to reach the journal, wanting this humiliation to end.
"aaron, just give it back!"
all of a sudden, aaron stopped his teasing and looked down to you, a lopsided smile on his face.
"you called me aaron."
you eyes opened in horror, you just called him aaron, not warner. and he heard it.
"no. no. i said warner, you misheard." it was a terrible attempt at lying.
he smiles even wider, his dimples prominent. he reaches a free hands to lift your chin.
"please, keep saying my name, i do love how it sounds coming from you."
you felt you were gonna explode from all the emotions you were feeling, the room was getting hotter, and your heart was pounding in your ears.
you couldn't get a solid sentence our without babbling in embarrassment. so you took the coward's way - bolting out the room, abandoning the mission to retrieve your journal.
you avoided visits a few times after that incident, you were still cringing at the flashbacks, it worsened when you also remembered he had the contents of your journal and all the embarrassing things and darkest secrets you'd written inside.
unfortunately, that didn't stop you from running into warner.
you were eating lunch with kenji, he was currently explaining some princess film you'd never seen.
"wait, so how did this girl even find out when her birthday was?"
"well, obviously, mother gothel told her."
"why didn't she just lie about her birthday, or not even tell her what a birthday is?"
"i don't know, i didn't make the script."
"also does the ending mean she has power still, or was it the last of her ma-"
"oh my god, can you shut up and just appreciate the greatness that is tangled!"
"hey! you're the on-"
"well, isn't this a surprise."
you turned to the new voice that entered the conversation. aaron warner stood in front of your table, hands behind his back, and castle behind him, likely guiding him somewhere.
then you remembered your last conversation with the leader and came to the conclusion aaron was on his way to be tested, probably like adam had.
castle remained unaware of the blood shared between the two, but you did let it slip you were unable to read your mind, and he was able to make skin contact with your sister.
"well if it isn't my favorite ex-boss." kenji spoke with a mouthful of food.
aaron ignored kenji, much to kenji's offense. "amor, here have you been these days, you left quite flushed after our intimate moment in my cell."
kenji spat out his food at that last bit.
you body was filled to the brim with utter embarrassment and hate toward the way he phrased his wording to make it seem what it wasn't.
you turned to kenji who was coughing continuously, "nothing even happened!" you gave warner a glare, "stop making it seem so.. so-"
"so what, amor? i'd love to know what you think i meant by intimate."
"you are so insufferable."
castle then dragged warner along to the testing area. you couldn't deny you weren't curious to find out if he shared a gift similar to adam.
you were planning to engage with warner the next day, but his guards had come up to you during your training session demanding your presence because apparently warner was in a fit of rage.
worried, you rushed over. entering the room, warner was sitting against the wall, face in his hands. the room was in disarray, broken items of what was already so little, scattered all over the room. even his floor mattress had been tossed.
he barely acknowledged you, so you took it upon yourself to kneel down in from of him, silently asking what happened.
"castle..he told me it's possible i have an... ability. he told me i could change," he laughs humorlessly, "that there was potential for me to be.. different... possibly better."
you stayed silent, unsure of how to respond, as he bitterly ranted about his talk with castle.
"what do you think?โ€
โ€œwhat?โ€
โ€œdo you believe i can change? iโ€™d love to know what your opinion is on this, amor.โ€
you werenโ€™t sure how to respond. โ€œi believeโ€ฆ everyone can choose what they want to be. itโ€™s up to them to decide, even if everyone tell tried to tell you who you are.โ€
this time, he was the one silent, looking down at his lap, likely in thought.
you took the chance to take in his attire; some black sweatpants, grey socks, and no shirt.
you probably wouldโ€™ve been flustered to see him shirtless if you didnโ€™t notice some peculiar marks peaking from his shoulder.
silently, you slowly crept to the side of aaron, still distracted. you slide far enough to get a good few of his back.
you internally gasped. his back was littered with lines of scarring - likely whipped. your stomach churned at the thought.
you also notice a big tattoo in the upper middle of his back, in all caps โ€˜IGNITEโ€™.
you mustโ€™ve said it out loud because aaronโ€™s head whipped in your direction. he turned his back away from you once he noticed where your stare was directed.
โ€œno need to say anything, i already know how hideous it looks.โ€
unsure how to respond, you blurt the first thing out of your head - โ€œi think they look cool. kind of like an abstract piece of art.โ€
yeah, comforting people wasnโ€™t your forte.
luckily, aaron seemed intrigued by your statement. so you took the chance to request something further.
โ€œcan i touch your, erm, back?โ€
aaron was hesitant for a few moments, but then sighed and turns his back toward you.
you delicately pressed your fingers along the canvas of his back. you could feel every ridge and texture of each scar as your fingers glided over.
aaron flinched at first content, then progressively & visibly melted into your touch.
โ€œwhy โ€˜igniteโ€™?โ€
โ€œwhy not?โ€ you really hated his vagueness.
an idea popped into your head. you pulled a pen out of your jacket pocket, testing it on your own skin a few times before you started drawing lines on aaronโ€™s skin.
โ€œamor, what are you doing?โ€
โ€œhang on.โ€ he could feel the ink of the pen etched on his back.
โ€œyou know, my original plan was to seduce you with my perfect abs, but i guess luring you with my scars works as well.โ€
โ€œshut up.โ€ but you were smiling while saying it.
you finished connecting a few lines, โ€œthere, perfect.โ€
"i think you've forgotten i dont have the neck of a giraffe to twist around."
"oh, my bad." you said sheepishly. "do you have a mirror?"
"i did, then i broke it. pieces should be in a corner somewhere."
you mentally scolded his carelessness.
you managed to find a piece big enough for him to see your creation upon his skin.
"i drew a star." you wanted to facepalm at how silly it sounded.
star was a bit of a stretch, you connected lines scarred on his bank to form a lopsided and wonky-shaped star.
he just stared at it, not uttering a word. you moved to try to wipe off the mark, but he grabbed your wrist before you could.
"no," he grins, "i adore it. do more of them."
you did. it was a whole galaxy of stars embedded on him.
he stayed mute as he watched you through the shard of mirror while you doodled, but suddenly he spoke and gave you details as to what his knew of his father's plans and the location of brendon & winston.
"why are you suddenly telling me this, why now?"
"it's what your here for, isn't it."
you rushed over to castle immediately and repeated everything aaron told you. he thanked you for the information before he called in others to draw up a plot of attack. you all were to leave immediately the next day.
castle called a meeting in the lunch hall a few hours later; everyone at omega point was gathered there.
he briefed them on the commander's plans or what the plan was supposed to be so far. of course, people were suspicious of this information coming from warner, not trusting him at all; not that you could blame them.
"he's immune to both of the ferrars abilities, he can touch juliette with no issue and y/n can't get into his head. after this reveal, we did some test, and we've come to find out he's gifted like the rest of us."
the room exploded in chaos, gasps, yells, and protests coming from all different directions. a lot of ongoing looks toward your table. castle raised his voice to calm everyone down.
you and juliette didn't stick around long after, for one you already knew the information being given , and two, the stares and questions were getting annoying and uncomfortable.
however, adam shortly followed the two of you out, desperate to speak to juliette, and you knew why - warner being able to touch her.
they began talking intensely as if you weren't there. you watched from the sidelines as juliette explained her side and adam getting more frustrated.
you butted in at a point, you felt bad for the guy, but your sister came first. โ€œadam, maybe it's best you leave to cool down.โ€
but your voice of reason only irritated him. โ€œhow about you stop inserting yourself into your sisterโ€™s affairs and let her speak for herself.โ€
"what is your issue?"
"this is between juliette and i; she doesn't need you speaking for her."
"you hypocrite, that's what you're doing right now!"
"why don't you go fraternize with warner, that's all you seem to be doing these days." adam venomously spat at you.
as if the mention of his name made him appear, warner's presence made it known. he stepped in front of you, dividing you and adam who got closer as the argument headed.
"kent, you've really got an attribute for being infuriating and vexing."
that set off the fire for an intense standoff between the two. adam, already mad at aaron, started the verbal feud.
it got so heated, kenji inserted himself between the two - trying to stop the commotion. you even grabbed aaron's arm to pull him away.
it was all happening so quick; one moment, they were shooting insults back and forth, the next instant kenji was dropping to the floor clutching his head in pain.
juliette immediately called out for help, finding castle, who brought in sonya and sara to take kenji to the medic.
adam and juliette went trailing after them, but you stayed there stunned. what did you do?
you had a flashback to the experiment - kenji reacting, in the same manner, those soldiers had after you freaked out.
you felt extremely horrible for kenji and you prayed he would be alright.
but you hadn't intended to hurt kenji nor did you exert any force in using your powers. you had better practice with your energy, so it didn't make sense.
aaron, still beside you, reached out to you - but you instinctively took a step back. you weren't sure what was happening to you, and the last thing you wanted was to hurt someone else accidentally.
"probably better you stay back," you looked down at your hands in fright, "i don't have control right now, i'm don't even understand how i did that to kenji."
"because amor, you didn't injure him. i did."
your confusion only deepened with that. then he brought back the mention of his gift, and you put the puzzle pieces together as he spoke.
"so you can basically can absorb someone else's power and use it?"
"a little more complicated than that. i can sense people's energy, like right now i know you're confused and worried for your friend, but also scared of yourself for what you did, or thought you did."
he elaborated, saying he unintentionally manifested your energy when you touched him. when kenji grabbed his arm, in an attempt to pull him away, that was when he projected the energy on him and hurting him in the process.
"wait, so does that mean you have my ability to read minds too?"
"hmm, i haven't given it a chance," he smirks at you "would you like to be my test subject?"
"absolutely not."
later that night, you check with sara and sonya on kenji's condition. they informed you that he was alright, but just needed some rest. after, you met up with castle in his office, finalizing plans for the morning - the beginning of the battle.
before you said goodbye, you had a question that had been crossing your mind.
"why do you trust ar-, er, warner, what's to say he won't turn his back."
"well, i guess i can't say for sure that he won't. i just have to have faith in mr. warner that he will make the right decision for himself. and with your added presence, i'm sure he's more open to that than ever."
"what do you mean?"
"surely you realize he's in love with you. he's even told me himself."
"he..he told you he was in love with me?"
"yes, just after i was discussing his gift with him." he said it like it was the most casual thing.
you stayed to chat briefly after. you directly headed to aaron's room, no longer littered with guards since he was considered a "member." you were able to walk in with no issue.
aaron hadn't been asleep yet when you got there, he was sitting up on his bed, which had a frame now, reading a book.
you didn't give him a chance to react to your sudden intrusion before you started speaking.
"why would you tell castle you're in love with me"
he furrowed his brows, but you kept going - you were set on getting answers.
"how could you just.. say something like that, what is your motive? are you trying to get to me?"
"amor, calm down. i have no motive." he said, standing up and walking toward you.
"then why would you even say that."
"isn't it clear?" he gets nears, a hand going to cradle the underside of your face, "i meant what i said."
"you can't love someone you barely know."
"but that's just it. i do know you. i've read your mind on paper, and experienced you for myself the moment i met you. i know that you hate to be wrong, you want to clench your first when you lie, although juliette is older by a bit - you feel the need to protect her, you're afraid of the dark, but never admit it, you hate yourself for loving your powers, and you want so badly to be accepted here because of your lonely childhood. shall i go on?"
you were flabbergasted by his word, and you couldn't even deny that they weren't true.
"how do you know this?"
"because, as my dear father put it, it seem you've bewitched me, my mind, and my body."
then he kissed you. and you let him.
and you very much liked it.
it was a longing, messy, kiss - he had you against the wall, lifted by your hips to his height. you wrapped your arms around his neck kissing him deeper, not letting any thoughts or worries flow from you for the moment.
the doors opened. "y/n? are you her-" then a gasp.
you recognized the voice - juliette.
you immediately panicked and pushed aaron away, attempting an explanation yo your sister, but she was already turning her feet and running away.
you gave warner a glance before you ran off in her direction.
you caught up to her, "juliette, please, wait!"
she abruptly stopped her feet and turned to you, "what are you doing y/n? kissing warner, are everything he's done!"
"it's just... i didn't... it's not like-" you struggled to put it into words.
"so what, you- you like the guy who kidnapped us? the one who shot a guy in front of us. experimented - borderline tortured us? he made me hurt a child, y/n. a child! and now you're making out with him."
you were at a loss for words, tears starting to build up at her harsh words.
"you're an idiot if you think you could love him, and even stupider to think a cold heartless person like him could love you. and i won't have anything to do with you if you keep him in your life." and with that she waked off, leaving you in the hall.
you didn't go back to warner after your fight, nor did you go back to your room immediately. you shamefully found an empty closet to cry into for a while. once you were able to breathe normally, you went back to the shared room - luckily everyone was fast asleep.
by morning, everyone was preparing for the rescue of brendan and winston. you and juliette exchanged no words; you attempted - but was shut down every time. she had never been this mad at you. so you just suited up and went to find kenji. kenji sensed the tension between you sisters, but didn't push for information.
you came to found out from castle, aaron warner was gone - he escaped omega point. likely on his way to the reestablishment.
you didn't want to focus on why a part of you was hurt when you heard that.
the battle was not a scene for the light-hearted - anderson's men had already begun gathering civilians and spewing blood. if you didn't have a strong stomach, you'd already be spilling your guts.
midway through dodging bullets and soldiers, you felt a shift in the already dire environment. there was something wrong, and you sensed it.
you urged kenji you felt the need to return to omega point - there was something wrong. he wasn't too convinced by your vague intuition, so you sought off on your own, doing your best to avoid the battlefield.
you ran into juliette at some point, not caring for your argument at the moment, and told her your inkling. she also brushed you off, telling it wasn't a time for your dramatics.
even with no support, you went back - you couldn't ignore this feeling.
you were maybe 200 ft away from omega point when it happened. bombs were dropped on the territory - causing the destruction of the building and any remaining members who stayed behind.
the explosion was powerful - even from where you were standing, it sent you both painfully flying back. you blacked out before you could react to the tragic ending of omega point.
you regained consciousness after consecutive kicks to your ribs and a voice telling you to wake up.
in front of you stood a crippled anderson, standing with he support of a cain. his composure was calm, but you could see the hatred behind his eyes.
you painfully stood up, surveying the area. you were in a house - similar to the one from last time.
you felt weak, dizzy, and the world was a bit blurry. you were leaning on a mantle to support your standing.
"ah, the fatigue your feeling would be my own fault. had those lovely sisters inject you with something. it will incapacitate you enough that you won't be a threat. can't have you flipping tables again."
you were barely registering his words, but when he mentioned sisters it gave you a bit of a jump start. he had sara and sonya.
your words felt faint, but you demanded to know where they were. he assured you they were unharmed, but it did nothing to ease you.
midway your conversation, warner enters the room - shocked to see you there. you probably would've reacted if you weren't so dosed on drugs.
"now that we have this reunion out the way, i'm going to be generous, something you ought to appreciate. you can tell me where your sister is and where the rest of your band of freaks are. you can aid me in destroying them and only after will i grant you the mercy of joining the reestablishment."
"what do you want with juliette?"
"she did this to me," he gestured to his legs, "and now i want my compensation."
no matter the situation with your sister, you'd never give her up.
"go to hell."
he sighs, "a disappointment once again, miss ferrars." he turns to his son, "this is why it's important i teach you this very valuable lesson son."
warner goes rigid, "what do you mean?"
warner pull out his shotgun, "justice, should always be served - even if it has to be by your own means."
then you were shot right in the chest.
you blacked out, then started slipping in and out of consciousness. all you remember is blood spilling from you at a rapid pace, and aaron crouched in front of you.
you remember voices - aarons, sara, and sonya's talking in rushed voices - then it was only aaron.
"hey cmon, amor, stay with me."
"wow... getting in the chest really sucks. i feel really bad about shooting you now." you spoke deliriously.
"it's alright, i just need you to hold on a little longer." his voice strained, holding back anguish.ย 
but you didn't; you passed out, your last thoughts hoping juliette would throw you a nice funeral, enough though she was upset at you.ย

your home lied within the reestablishment for as long as you could remember. your father had stood behind the idea since it first became conceived.ย 
before the reestablishment came along, your family lived in the trenches of poverty. living in a one-bedroom apartment in the unsafest part of the city. most lived the same since the world was slowly deteriorating โ€” counties went hungry, climate change affected natural resources, and the grasp of government control slipped away. it seemed like the end of the world for some, but you were too young to say for sure.ย 
your mother came down with an illness when you were around three. it was unsure of what it was, but it damaged her greatly and fatally. your father attempted to gather the money to see a doctor, pawning items, stealing money, and even asking the government for assistance, but it all became futile. your mother ended up passing a few months later.ย 
your fatherโ€™s grief and rage at society drove him toward the direction of the reestablishment. they had already been around quite some time, but no one ever took it seriously - another political group with empty promises, they called it. but your father had faith in their potential, he had to, now that he wanted to ensure a better future for yourself. so, he offered his undying loyalty to the group, and they took an interest in that and offered him a low level job.ย 
within years, he worked his way up in power, helped enhance the reestablishmentโ€™s control over the world, and soon they were the sole government. many resisted, but the majority resided their fate to them because how much worse could the world get?ย 
overtime, the distant memories of the old world faded and were forgotten by many, including yourself. all you knew and lived was reestablishment life. books, movies, devices, or anything pertaining to before reestablishment life was discarded. you were too young to even remember most of those things. so, unlike others, you never felt like you missed out on anything.ย 
you were trained to be a soldier since practically diapers. the rebellion against the reestablishment was prominent during its early years, so your father ensured you could defend yourself properly if the worse were to come. with your agility and stealth, you were recruited to be a spy for them, infiltrating other bases and spying on the rebellion.ย 
your father now works closely with supreme commander anderson at the capital, but youโ€™ve designated yourself to sector 45, along with warner. he recognized your talent the moment he met you and employed you to his sector. that was how it became your current home.ย 
your father was more than thrilled you impressed the commanderโ€™s son, telling you it was important to have their favor. ever since, heโ€™d push the idea of you two, repeating that if you played your cards right, you could become the future supreme commanderโ€™s wife.ย 
you felt nauseous at the idea. you would never want to be a second in command helping run a country, much less marry the person who does.ย 
โ€œhey! warnerโ€™s calling you into his office.โ€ a voice called out to you.ย 
you snapped out of your daydream, remembering your current location. you stood in the training room, gloves on, practicing your punches onto one of the many punching bags. you tended to zone as as you got more into your workout.ย 
you turned around to face the soldier who had come in for the purpose of recalling a message, โ€œthank you, tell him i will be there immediately.โ€ย  he gave a curt nod and headed out.ย 
you sighed, you were sure you were about to be sent on another mission to gather data. and normally, you wouldโ€™ve been up for it, dying to put your skills to use. but lately, it seems the passion has disappeared. it was getting too repetitive for your liking, and you feared the rest of your life would play out the same. ย 
you gathered your belongings, stuffing your water bottle and gloves back into your gym bag, and replaced your sweaty black shirt with a plain gray one.ย 
you procrastinated as much as possible on the way to warnerโ€™s office. you are in no rush to head back out into the field or hear warners endless instructions on the mission. for once, you envied the low ranked soldiers. warner never expected much of them, so they were often overlooked and free to do as (possibly) pleased. you were expected to be no less than perfect.ย 
you took a deep breath before knocking on the office door. once warner granted permission, you entered the room, and the first thing you noticed was another person was already there โ€” one you recognized to be one of warner's many men, kenji kishimoto. ย 
โ€˜this is already off to a bad start,โ€™ you told yourself. kenji was fairly new to the unit, joining a bit over a year ago. you never saw him much because of how busy you are, but due to his poor performance, warner had assigned you to train him for a week.ย 
it hadnโ€™t been your first time training a soldier, so you were prepared to follow a routine and help him get the hang of basics. but you quickly learned kenji was going to be a pain in your ass. ย 
first, he was half an hour late to your training, wasting time you couldโ€™ve used for your own personal agenda. then, when he showed up, he acted nonchalantly about it. you decided to brush it off and just get the training over with than argue and waste more time. but as training commenced, he started acting condescending towards you. asking if you were sure what you were doing and whether you were the most qualified person to be instructing him. again, you ignored him and remained professional โ€” trying your best to just finish off the lesson without any hassle.
the final straw for you came when you asked him to throw a punch to examine his form and offer critiques. to this responded, โ€œare you sure about that? wouldnโ€™t want to hurt you, sweetheart.โ€ he said haughtily. you just about had it by then.ย 
in a quick movement, you threw a punch to his face, twisted his arm, and flipped him onto the mats. โ€œsorry, did i hurt you sweetheart?โ€ you asked in a condescendingly sweet tone. all kenji does is groan in response.ย 
after, you just stormed off and informed warner he would no longer be in charge of his training. you offered him no explanation and simply walked out of his office. if you hadnโ€™t been so upset, you wouldโ€™ve slapped yourself for being so careless in front of the commander's son. but fortunate to you, warner had no objections and simply tasked someone else to teach kenji.
however, that wasnโ€™t even the end of your meeting. despite you bruising his face, kenji started to follow you like a puppy. you suddenly would run into him at least once a day. you swore he had to be somehow following you, and pretending it was a coincidence the two of you ran into each other. despite your expertise in the art of spying, you were never able to catch him in the act. you could sometimes feel a pair of eyes on you, but when you turned around, there was no one there.ย 
you told him many times to leave you alone, but that only seemed to intrigue him more. he went from condescending to flirting with you. you werenโ€™t sure which one was worse. you were starting to think the latter because of his awful pickup lines. ย 
โ€œdo you have a name, or can i just call you mine?โ€
โ€œoh god, iโ€™m gonna throw up.โ€
โ€œiโ€™m going for a walk, would you mind holding my hand?โ€
โ€œif you get your hand near me, itโ€™s getting cut off.โ€
โ€œi love it when you talk dirty to me.โ€
โ€œdo you travel through time? because iโ€™ve pictured you in my future.โ€
โ€œyouโ€™re not going to have a future, if you utter another word.โ€
โ€œlet me be the flynn rider to your rapunzel.โ€
โ€œone, shut up. two, who are they?โ€
โ€œwhat! you donโ€™t know the amazing film that is tangled?โ€
โ€œnever mind, forget, i asked..โ€
no matter your reply, he never seems to get the hint. no, scratch that, he definitely got the hint he just simply did not care. this guy could be hit with a tank, and you were convinced heโ€™d still have some stupid line to say to you.ย 
back to your current predicament, you were unsure why warner would call for kenji as well. you were hoping they were just finishing up a conversation, and you happened to be a bit early. which you kinda doubted because you had taken as long as you possibly could to get to this room.
you walked up to warnerโ€™s desk, โ€œyou called for me sir?โ€ you questioned. the sooner you got your task, the sooner you can get away from the man next to you.ย 
kenji turns his attention toward you, unfortunately for you, โ€œhey gorgeous, funny seeing you around here.โ€ he says with a stupid smirk accompanying.ย 
โ€œnot really.โ€ you spoke bluntly.ย 
before he can speak any more, dumb words, warner clears his throat indicating he is about to speak. โ€œyes i did, and as you can see, i also called kishimoto here because I wanted to speak to the both of you.โ€ย 
oh no. you werenโ€™t liking where this was going so far, especially since this is an issue needing both of your presence in the room. you prayed he wasnโ€™t about to assign you to train with kenji again. you lucked out last time, but there is no way you would be able to again decline in a way that wouldnโ€™t defy warner. you remained stoic and nod to his words, waiting in suspense for his instructions. ย 
โ€œoh please go on, iโ€™m intrigued.โ€ kenji inquires. warner pays no mind him, nice to see youโ€™re not the only one who does that.ย 
โ€œthe reason for that is, i am in need of both of you for a mission in favor of the reestablishment.โ€ he explains, folding his hands together neatly on his wooden desk. ย 
technically, your prayer was granted; you didnโ€™t need to train kenji. no, instead you had to go & work with him on a mission. โ€˜thatโ€™s why they say be careful what you wish for.โ€™
you couldnโ€™t protest and say absolutely not, or you just look like a child throwing a tantrum. it took a good portion of your self-control to keep that apathetic look on your face. but even then, your left eye reflexively twitched in irritation.ย 
โ€œno disrespect to your order sir, but why is kishimoto needed? i can handle myself quite well if you didnโ€™t already know.โ€ you try to reason.ย 
โ€œare you that nervous to be with me?โ€ kenji interrupts smugly. you canโ€™t help but stomp on his foot, even if it is a bit childish, your face neutral, not even sparring a look his way.ย 
kenji yelps in pain, but still remarks, โ€œnice to see your love language has switched from verbal threats to physical violence.โ€ย 
warner, unbothered by your actions, replies, โ€œiโ€™m well aware of your capabilities l/n. but this task is a bit more dire than your usual requests. iโ€™d prefer if you had a helping hand. plus, kishimoto still needs practice in the field and thereโ€™s no better example to follow than you.โ€
โ€œthank you sir, for the compliment, but-โ€œย 
โ€œis that an objection to an order, l/n?โ€ warner challenged you, raising a brow. you knew that was the end of it. as much as you didnโ€™t like kenji, it wasnโ€™t an issue worth being on warnerโ€™s bad side for.ย 
โ€œno,โ€ you stated defensively, โ€œof course not, sir, i am ready to serve the reestablishment as needed,โ€ you restate your loyalty, but these days it felt like empty words.ย 
โ€œi, for one, have no issue with this request sir. iโ€™m more than willingly to go along with y/n on this secret mission.โ€ kenji proclaims with a gleeful smile.ย 
โ€œgreat, because the both of you will be departing tomorrow morning.โ€ warner informed, leaning back into his seat. โ€œthat will be all,โ€ he dismissed with a wave of a hand.ย 
kenji and you both respectively nodded and turned your backs to walk away and exit his office. once youโ€™re in the hall, your cool demeanor vanquishes and is replaced with a distasteful look. you simply couldnโ€™t believe this was happening. you got partnered with the guy who you heard already had 19 demerits. surely, the world was punishing you.
opposite to you, kenji stood there with a sneaky smile, obviously enjoying how todayโ€™s events played out. it only annoyed you further.ย 
โ€œwell, well, well,โ€ he begins, โ€œi guess weโ€™ll be spending quite a bit of time with each other. you never know how long these missions take perhaps will be stuck teach with each other for a whole month. wouldnโ€™t that just be exciting?โ€ kenji teases, draping an arm over your tense shoulders.ย 
you rolled your eyes and roughly pushed his arm off of you, โ€œthis operation is solely for professional purposes, kishimoto. weโ€™ll be in and out then come back and relay information. then i go back to ignoring you.โ€ you donโ€™t bother to wait for a reply and start the walk to your living, quarters to prepare for your departure.
โ€œiโ€™ll grow on you eventually y/n!โ€ he hollers at you as you venture further down the hall.ย 
-
you dreaded the events to come the moment you opened your eyes to woke up.
a part of you had hoped your talk with warner yesterday had been a nightmare, but as soon as you saw your packed bag on your dresser, you knew it was your reality.ย 
you hopped in the shower for a quick wash, braided your hair, and suited up in all black attire. you slip your bag over your shoulder and reluctantly walk out your room. from there, you made your way to the weaponry.
at the weaponry, you didnโ€™t see kenjiโ€™s face; you had hope there was still a possibility he would not end up going along with you, and he would either be replaced, or you be left to your own devices. you started supplying weapons into your bags and filling the holsters strapped on your body.ย 
โ€œcanโ€™t believe you already started without me, angel.โ€ you hear a voice announce from behind you.ย 
you groaned, apparently, it was too much to ask to wish him away. he reminded you of a small insect that just refused to die no matter how many times you stepped on it with your foot.ย 
he doesnโ€™t miss a beat, moving to the spot next to you, โ€œdonโ€™t sound too excited, or else iโ€™d start to think you like me,โ€ kenji playfully remarks.ย 
you scoff, โ€œonly in your wildest dreams.โ€
โ€œright you are.โ€ you grimace at his reply.ย 
โ€œcan you just hurry up? the sooner we set off the better.โ€ you urge him.ย 
he doesnโ€™t deter from his smugness at your fierce attitude, โ€œif you were so eager to be alone with me, you shouldโ€™ve just told me, wouldโ€™ve saved us a lot of trouble.โ€ย 
you groaned, already sick of being around him. how were you supposed to do this for a day, or even more? โ€œyou have five minutes or swear to god iโ€™m leaving without you.โ€ you promised on your way out.ย 
-
you made good of your word, and waited by the plane for approximately five minutes (you even counted down the seconds in your head). warner assigned a plane for the both of you, with its own pilot, to take you to your destination.ย 
you wait until the last second before you board the small plane to inform the pilot to prepare for take off. not even a minute later, you hear the movement of footsteps rushing towards the vehicle. you try to conceal your look of disappointment when you see it, kenji coming toward you.
you step down the plane to coldly greet him, โ€œyouโ€™re lucky you made it, i was prepared to about to leave without you,โ€ you tell kenji seriously. โ€œi suppose i can always just push you off the plane one we take off to rid of you,โ€ you nonchalantly suggest.ย 
he just laughs in response, thinking thereโ€™s no way you would actually take off without him, his laughter silences down when you offer no humor in your tone, nor your face. โ€œyou are just kidding right?โ€
you remain silent, and turn your back to board the plane.ย 
โ€œ..right?โ€ he calls at you, a hint of worry in his tone. the corner of your lip tugs up in amusement as you walk off.
-
โ€œwow, this spy stuff is quite boring.โ€ kenji complains aloud. โ€œhow are you ever entertained doing this on your own? thank goodness you have me around now. perhaps we can even be some sort of duo, we can even have a cool name - the terrific two? nah. the dangerous duo? eh. oh wait, iโ€™ve got it! mr. and mrs. smith-โ€œ
โ€œwill you shut up!โ€ you turn your head away to snap at him. you were ready to lose your mind with his absurd commentary for the past hour.
the two of you stationed yourselves on top of a tall buildingโ€™s rooftop hiding from plain view & your targetโ€™s sight. your current target was a supreme commander of another country, one that had indirectly expressed his indifference toward warner, but remained loyal to reestablishment principles. warner believes itโ€™s possible he may have a hidden agenda concerning the reestablishment, and just to be sure, he tasked you to report his activity.ย 
your mission wasnโ€™t anything complicated, the majority of it consisted of keeping vigilant watch and reporting anything of utter importance. the two of you used your binoculars to spy on the commander and his men from above. but you understood why warner had wanted someone to accompany you. there were almost 3 times as many men than what you were used to on your operations. but you werenโ€™t going to admit this to the person next to you.
kenji nods, โ€œyouโ€™re right we should skip the mindless comments and instead get to know each other. after all, iโ€™d be real awkward if i didnโ€™t even know fun facts about my future girlfriend,โ€ he makes a hand gesture toward you at the end of his words. ย 
โ€œfirst off, never going to be your girlfriend. second, this isnโ€™t a date; weโ€™re on a stakeout collecting information.โ€ you reiterate.ย 
โ€œcome on,โ€ kenji complains, โ€œthese guys have done nothing for the past 2 hours. the only criminal thing that is worth mentioning is that the commander does not pull off purple .โ€ย 
you scoffed, annoyed, but you couldnโ€™t say he was completely lying. it has been kind of a slow night. the commander stood by his post, watching the soldiers pack shipments meant for other countries & sectors, including sector 45. whenever the supreme commander would leave, either kenji or you would tail him, but it was also a dead end. he either needed to use the bathroom or go to his office to retrieve something. a part of you was starting to wonder why warner would think of this man as suspicious when he seemed as bland as the color beige. it was quite offensive to your spy expertise to be sent on such a mundane mission.
you sigh in defeat, โ€œfine,โ€ you turn to face kenji, โ€œif it gets you to shut up. what do you wanna know?โ€
kenji places his hand over his chest, making a face of disbelief. โ€œwow, iโ€™ve finally done it, iโ€™ve cracked you. itโ€™s only a matter of time now before you actually start enjoying my presence like most of the female population.โ€ย 
โ€œiโ€™m this close to pushing you off the ledge right now.โ€ you exclaim, pinching your index and thumb very close as a demonstration.ย 
โ€œwell, if weโ€™re gonna be working together,โ€ย 
he starts, ignoring your threat, โ€œweโ€™ve got to learn more about eachother - you know ,like the deep stuff.โ€ย 
โ€œthe deep stuff?โ€ you repeat suspiciously.ย 
โ€œyeah, like, whatโ€™s your favorite color?โ€ย 
you turn away dramatically, โ€œwell, now youโ€™ve just crossed the line,โ€ you say in a light tone.ย 
he shakes his head, โ€œseriously, whatโ€™s your favorite color?โ€
โ€œhm,โ€ you ponder on it for a second before answering, โ€œi like yellow.โ€ย 
โ€œyellow?โ€ he repeats, unsure of whether to believe you. โ€œyouโ€™re telling me, the spy who is always seen in all blackโ€™s favorite color is yellow?โ€ he speaks as if the concept is foreign to him.
you roll your eyes for the millionth time tonight, โ€œi wear all black because iโ€™m working, not by personal choice. my wardrobe is actually full of colorful choices.โ€ you admit.ย 
kenji smirks, โ€œso, what color are you wearing underne-โ€œ
โ€œanyway,โ€ your speak over him, cutting him off. โ€œwhatโ€™s your favorite color?โ€ you ask to change focus.ย 
โ€œpurple. and not like the purple that supreme commander looks horrendous in,โ€ you hold back a smile at the insult, โ€œmore like the shade of purple rapunzelโ€™s dress is.โ€
you tilt your head, โ€œwhoโ€™s rapunzel, is she a friend of yours?โ€ย 
his eyes narrow at you, โ€œa friend of min- sheโ€™s only one of the greatest heroines in the disney film history!โ€ he exclaims.ย 
โ€œwhat about your knee?โ€
โ€œyou canโ€™t be serious-โ€œ
that was when you heard it, voices speaking in rushed and commanding tones, getting louder and louder to the point you were able to make out the words without your listening equipment. you recognized one of them - the supreme commander.
โ€œshoot them!โ€ he shouted at the soldiers.ย 
youโ€™d been spotted. and now they were going to start firing.ย 
โ€œkenji get down!โ€ย 
โ€œwhat-โ€œ
you didnโ€™t wait for him to understand and instinctively jumped onto kenjiโ€™s body to bring him down to the ground and avoid him from getting shot.
due to your heroic act, you were unfortunately caught by a bullet and shot in your left arm. youโ€™ve been shot before, but it didnโ€™t suck any less. luckily, the adrenaline coursing through you helped subdue the pain for now, but you know itโ€™s only a matter of time before you were withering in discomfort.ย 
โ€œshit!โ€ kenji cursed in reaction to the many gunshots shooting at you both. you both are currently protected by the small four feet ledge from the building you were grounded on.
โ€œhow did they even spot us?โ€œ kenji hollers so you could him him over the flux of bullets.ย 
โ€œi donโ€™t know, but thereโ€™s no time for explanations. this ledge wonโ€™t protect us for long we have to find a way out of here without being noticed.โ€œย 
you had a lurking suspicion the commander was given a heads-up on the arrival of two spies. however, it wasnโ€™t a time to investigate that.ย 
ย kenji began to move from beneath you so he could somewhat sit himself up, still avoiding being hit. his movement caused you to unintentionally hiss in pain when he rubbed against your injured arm; that is when kenji took notice of your wound.ย 
he gently grabbed it for further inspection, blood oozing from the hole of the bullet plunged into your arm. returns his gaze to you. his eyes showing worry, โ€œyouโ€™re injured. why didnโ€™t you say anything?โ€ he questions you gently.ย 
he then swiftly untucked his long sleeve shirt for machines and ripped a piece of it from the bottom. then he began to wrap it around your injury and tie it to give it pressure to lessen the bleeding.ย 
โ€œdidnโ€™t think there was time, you know, with hundreds of bullets coming our way.โ€
kenji rolls his eyes. you speak up again before he has a chance to counter, โ€œok, we seriously need to focus on our plan of action right now. we are way too outnumbered to strike back.โ€ย 
kenjis nods and looks down in concentration of convincing a plan, and you do the same. you both could maneuver your way down towards the way you came in, but no doubt the commander's men have already begun to circle around the entire establishment. you both could sprint quick enough and jump onto the neighboring building, but it would require some climbing. and with your current left arm in bad shape, could be almost impossible for you to climb a building with one arm, no matter the skill acquired in your training.ย 
do you have to make a decision quick, so you went with the most logical one. โ€œkenji,โ€ you call his attention, and he looks up from his spot, โ€œi have a plan. but..youโ€™re going to have to go without me.โ€ย 
kenjiโ€™s face shifted from concern to confusion.ย  โ€œi donโ€™t understand..โ€ย 
you briefly explained the small plan you concocted, โ€œwith my with my injury , itโ€™s clear i canโ€™t do it. so, itโ€™s better that you go on and-โ€œ
kenji doesnโ€™t let you finish. โ€œno. no. thatโ€™s not an option.โ€ he protests.ย 
โ€œyou have t-โ€œ
his hand is covering your mouth in a second, โ€œitโ€™s out of the question. donโ€™t go saying that stupid shit again, got it?โ€œ he sternly tells you, looking you in the eye intensely.ย 
youโ€™ve never had someone be so adamant about leaving you behind. if it had been anyone else with you, they wouldโ€™ve up and left the moment you suggested it. a warm feeling tingled in your stomach at the thought to kenji caring about you so much.ย 
youโ€™re quite stunned at his assertiveness, so you nod quietly - which is highly out of character for you.
once he knows you understand, he removes his hand from your face, sighing as he does so. โ€œi have a way for us to get out of here unnoticed and safely,โ€ kenji admits. you pique up, intrigued by how he has a better solution, and motion for him to continue. โ€œbut youโ€™re really going to have to trust me for this to work, ok?โ€ he says more like a statement than a question.
โ€œok.โ€ you agree.ย 
while you may not have known kenji too long or even liked him much before tonight, he wasnโ€™t incompetent, mostly, you had enough faith in him to believe he wouldnโ€™t intentionally put you both in harm's way.ย 
kenji takes a deep breath in, and you can tell to ease his nerves. it bubbles up your curiosity more. it must be something quite grand for him to be nervous to do. but then again, it had to be something quite out of the box if it werenโ€™t a plan you couldโ€™ve conceived.
โ€œiโ€™m going to grab your hand, and then iโ€™m gonna need you to do your best to not freak out.โ€ kenji instructs carefully to you.ย 
now you were getting anxious; what could possibly make you freak out? generally werenโ€™t the type to scare easily, and youโ€™re sure kenji knew this. but you truly had no other option unless you wanted to be stranded here. the sound of gunfire served over to reminder of your limited time.ย 
you nod in confirmation and hold out your right hand in permission for him to grab. kenji takes a second before he latches his hand into yours.ย 
for a moment, youโ€™re confused. nothing seems to be happening. part of you thought he was going to continue with your plan, but forcibly drag you along with him. you turn your attention toward the other side to check if you were supposed to see something. but again, saw nothing of significance.ย 
you begin to scowl, โ€œkenji is this a joke-โ€œ
but when you turn to see kenji, no one is there. right away, you assume he left you and did everything prior as some twisted joke. you were ready to get angry, but then you felt the pressure on your palm. you were still holding his hand.ย 
you looked around again and saw no sign of kenji besides his hand in yours. your confusion was deepening at this point, and you were beginning to think you passed out after being shot and were currently dreaming. you looked down at your interlocked hands, but you didnโ€™t see your hands either. your eyes then moved over to your own body, but again - nothing.
you gasp, โ€œwhat the hell?โ€
you instantly panic, not understanding what is happening. you move your body in the hope it would make it visible again, but failed. you try to free your hand from kenjiโ€™s, but he firmly keeps it gripped.ย 
โ€œhey, itโ€™s alright, iโ€™m here. calm down.โ€ you hear kenji finally speak from next to you. you feel his thumb rub over the top of your hand in an attempt to soothe you.ย 
you ignore him and attempt to make a list of possible nonsense that would explain the situation. โ€œare we dead?โ€ย 
โ€œno! just invisible.โ€ he states calmly as if the whole situation were normal. he stands up, forcing you to do the same. he begins to build up a run toward the side of the building. you canโ€™t see either of your bodies, so you do your best to keep up without tripping.ย 
โ€œinvisible?โ€ you repeat, โ€œhow are we invisible?โ€ it sounded ridiculous saying it aloud, but it was the only โ€œreasonableโ€ explanation for what was happening.ย 
โ€œuh, letโ€™s just say i have a certain skill set.โ€ he says in a rushed tone. you couldnโ€™t tell if it was because he wanted to avoid answering or focus on the task at hand. maybe both.ย 
โ€œthat doesnโ€™t explain anything!โ€ you say, waving your other arm around, although you both are unable to see it.ย 
now having reached the side of the building you entered from, you see the ladder that led you both up. kenji wastes no time on stepping down first. you canโ€™t see his movement but can feel yourself being tugged and the sound of his boots hitting the metal.ย 
you follow, continuing to hold his hand as he leads you both down the ladder of the building. โ€œas you mentioned over and over before, thereโ€™s no time for explanations. you just focus on getting down this ladder.โ€ย 
you did as he said (for once) and continued stepping down, with one hand on the rail, in silence. for once in your life, you were speechless.
you both successfully evaded the commander and his soldiers. the invisibility had proven to be true because you walked past them like it was nothing, as they still shot to where they assumed the two of you were still positioned.ย 
there were no words exchanged on the way back to the plane. kenji took the initiative to inform the pilot of your coordinates, so the two of you could be picked up. you felt foolish for being so unprofessional, but you finally evading the danger, your state of shock was brought back.ย 
when the plane finally landed down, kenji had finally returned both of your visible states and then released your hand. you could feel the sweat on it from holding on so long, but you were still reeling in from events to notice or care.
both of you moved to board the plane.ย 
if you hadnโ€™t faced some blood loss and felt incredible fatigue, you wouldโ€™ve hounded kenji for answers on your way back to sector 47. but as soon as you sat down on a seat, you were out like a light.ย 
-
the next time you open your eyes, all you could see was white. the ceiling lights temporarily blinded you, making it hard to see your surroundings at first.ย 
you groaned from disorientation and the blinding light. you turn to the sense of touch and understand you are lying on a bed. your vision settled, and you were able to vaguely recognize your surrounding. the long windows, medical supplies, other white-sheeted beds neighboring, faint smell of disinfectant โ€” you were in the medical wing in sector 45.
you knew it was the infirmary from your sector because of the large indentation on the wall from a mishap of yours a few years prior, one of the few times you actually went to a trained nurse instead of mending to yourself. long story short, the nurses really should have de-weaponized you before attempting to wake you up after youโ€™d passed out.ย 
now knowing you were in a dangerous environment, you slowly began to sit up. you used one hand to stable yourself since the other was put into a cast. the aching you were trying to put off the whole mission came in full force.ย 
you looked down at your attire; your first layers of clothes covered in grime and blood were removed. now you were only left in your black shorts and tank top.ย 
not even a moment later, you hear the sounding of the your door opening.ย 
โ€œwell finally youโ€™re awake!โ€ a voice says, โ€œthought iโ€™d need to wake you up with true loveโ€™s kiss.โ€ย 
kenji walks up to your bedside, his sly smile never faltering until he takes a glance at your injured arm.ย 
he peers down at your face. he takes a hand and moves a strand of hair behind your ear. your stomach warms at the feeling of his faint touch on the side of your face. ย 
โ€œi thought iโ€™d lost you for a second there, sleeping beauty.โ€ kenji says in a gentle tone.ย 
another reference of his you didnโ€™t understand, but you chose to focus on his other words instead.
you tilt your sore neck, which you regret,ย  in confusion, โ€œwhat do you mean?โ€
โ€œyou were asleep the whole flight, and when we landed, i tried to wake you, but you wouldnโ€™t stir. i knew something was wrong. my assumption was proven correct because when i examined your arm, your blood loss was almost severe. after that, i just rushed to get here.โ€ kenji explains, his tone a bit somber. you fight the urge to hold his hold and comfort him, then chide yourself for thinking so something so intimate involving kenji.ย 
guess you probably shouldโ€™ve checked your arm when you boarded the plane. somehow, your bloody arm had gone from the first to the last thing on your mind during the operation.ย 
โ€œand now your facing my dashingly handsome face.โ€ he cockily adds in.ย 
there it is. you donโ€™t even snarkily counter back. for once, you just smile in response. you give in to your urges and grab onto his hand, giving it a soft squeeze, โ€œthank you kenji. seriously, i know we started on the wrong foot, but iโ€™m very grateful to you.โ€ you say sincerely.ย 
kenji squeezes your hand in return, โ€œto be fair, youโ€™re the one whoโ€™s made your distaste toward me very clear while all i did was confess my undying love to you.โ€ he corrects with a pout. he places a hand over his heart in fake pain.ย 
your mouth gapes, โ€œwhat? youโ€™re the one who not only showed up late, but acted like a total douche the first time we met.โ€ย 
kenji laughs at this sheepishly, โ€œyeah, about that..โ€ he goes to rubs his hand on the side of his neck.ย 
โ€œwhat?โ€ you question. โ€œdonโ€™t leave me hanging.โ€
kenji laughs, โ€œthat first meeting, i wasnโ€™t actually late.โ€ he starts.ย 
you shake your head, โ€œyes you were. i waited there for almost half an hour.โ€ย 
โ€œi was there fifteen minutes early, waiting by the door. but then i saw you walk past me, not even sparing a glance, and go into the training room.โ€ kenji confesses.ย 
โ€œthen why were you so late?โ€ you interrupt impatiently. you donโ€™t remember seeing him there at all, and if he had been there, why didnโ€™t he just go in straight after you instead of wasting your time.ย 
โ€œiโ€™m getting there, angel.โ€ kenji taps his index finger on the tip of your nose. you swat his hand and wait for him to go on.ย 
โ€œafter you went in, i was stunned. truly. you were the most gorgeous being iโ€™d ever seen, and you walked around like you didnโ€™t even know it.โ€ย 
you smack his arm at his dramatic flattery, โ€œshut up, quit playing around and get to the point.โ€ย 
โ€œam i one to lie?โ€ he asks rhetorically.ย 
you give him a look. โ€œalright, maybe, but it doesnโ€™t make what i said any less true. you are beautiful, and anyone who hasnโ€™t told you that is an idiot.โ€ย 
you scoff, turning your head away from kenji. you rather him not see the rising redness on your cheeks.ย 
luckily kenji continues without comment, โ€œanyway, after i got a hold of myself, i thought, โ€˜how was a guy supposed to walk in and face this goddess of a person supposed to be his trainer.โ€™ he canโ€™t, so he does the classic guy move, โ€˜act indifferent to make yourself seem cooler in front of a girl.โ€
โ€œso you acted like an assholeโ€ฆ.on purposeโ€ฆ.because you wanted to be cool in front of me?โ€ you repeat slowly, making sure you understood his stupid plan.ย 
โ€œok, i get it; it's not my best moment. trust me when i say i realized my mistake as soon as you started kicking my ass like it was nothing. but it actually made me like you more and even turned me on a bit-โ€œ
โ€œok, i think i got it!โ€ you werenโ€™t one to be so easily flushed, but it was hard not to when he was so blunt about affection toward you. even if it was vulgar.ย 
โ€œafter that horrible first meeting, i had to get you to like me.โ€ kenji explains, โ€œso i did my best to use my attractiveness and charming persona to seduce you. but, damn, you wouldnโ€™t even bat an eye at my attempts. that only made me wanna do it more.โ€ย 
you cross your arms over your chest, โ€œso what, you like me because iโ€™m pretty and a challenge for you?โ€ you ask with an aloof tone.
โ€œmaybe at the start, but now, everything about you has me captivated. your strength and resilience. the way people undermine you, but you donโ€™t let it stop you from proving them wrong. how to most, youโ€™re uptight and cold, but you actually care more than youโ€™d want to admit. i admire that you want to be the best, but not for warner, for yourself.โ€ your eyes begin to soften at kenji as he describes you so passionately. you didnโ€™t realize observant of you he was.ย 
kenji continues, โ€œhell, even your stubbornness. though, you break my heart a little every time you reject one of my very well thought out pick up lin-โ€œ
you donโ€™t wait to hear anymore. abruptly, you sit up and yank him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him down to your eye level. youโ€™re moving automatically as if in a trance, and your sturdy hand reaches the right side of his face. โ€œshut up.โ€ you say in a rushed whisper.ย 
then you kiss him. you actually, willingly, lean in and collide your lips with kenji kishimoto. you like it very much too. and there is no better feeling than the way his lips on yours make your heart race and body buzz with warmth and exhilaration.ย 
everything happened so quick, kenji was frozen in his spot for a good moment - his eyes so wide they couldโ€™ve popped out. then, he smoothly regained composure. his face relaxed, now having a giddy grin into the kiss,ย  and slid a hand to the back of your neck, under your hair, to hold you closer.ย 
even though the kiss was a heat-of-the-moment decision, the kiss itself wasnโ€™t heated nor rushed. no, it was almost the exact opposite. your lips were tenderly pressed together, heads titled opposite directions so you fit together in sync.ย 
you move your touch to his covered chest, gripping his plain fitted shirt for dear life, a way to remind yourself that this was all very real.ย 
youโ€™re the first to pull away; part of you already longing for his touch as you did. you felt dizzy, not in a loss of blood way, but in a weightless feeling way. you couldnโ€™t stop the silly smile etched on your face, nor the flushed look that was likely written all over your face. you couldnโ€™t even find yourself caring about it.ย 
kenjiโ€™s appearance isnโ€™t much different from yours, but his smile is crooked and screams more of satisfaction and a bit of cockiness. โ€œtold you iโ€™d eventually win you over.โ€ย 
you chuckle and lightly punch kenjiโ€™s bicep, shaking your head, โ€œtell anyone, and iโ€™ll deny it.โ€ you threaten in jest.ย 
you tap your lips with your index finger and look up in mock contemplation, โ€œhm. maybe if you explain how you turned us invisible back there iโ€™ll think about a date.โ€ you remind him. you were still owed a great explanation.ย 
kenji grins, โ€œis that all it takes? well, then, iโ€™ve got a hell of a story for you.โ€ย 
special thank you to @butterflyreads for being so patient and liking my works, hope you enjoy this one <3

Tumblr media
aaron warner doesnโ€™t sleep peacefully. โ€” or at least he didnโ€™t, until he met you. now every night by your side is enough to have him sleeping soundly.
or it usually has him sleeping soundly when you donโ€™t wake him up with your screeches.
โ€œaaron! help!"
aaron is jump started awake at the sound of your distress. he look to your aide, you werenโ€™t in bed. his first instinct was to grab the pistol he kept in the drawer of his night stand, and assess the scene for danger.
โ€œaaron, please come quick!โ€
as soon as he locates your voice, aaron is charging into his office. he slams the door open and thrust his gun forward, expecting the worse; someone hurting you, an intruder, or you were brutally injured.
but it was none of the above. because low and behold, there you were โ€” standing on top of his desk chair screaming for your life, pointing at something on the surface of his desk.
heโ€™s so bewildered it takes him a good second to process what the hell is going on. in his vision, he didnโ€™t see anything or anyone that could be described as dangerous or potentially life threatening to you.
he lowered his gun, โ€œlove, whatโ€™s going on?โ€ his voice has both concern and confusion.
you snap your head toward him, relieved to see he finally woke up and arrived in the office. but then your face shifts to a look of distress, remembering the whole reason you screamed bloody murder.
โ€œaaron! youโ€™re finally here!โ€ you cry out relieved.
โ€œisโ€ฆis this a joke?โ€ he genuinely does not understand the source of your distress.
you scowl, โ€œis your girlfriend being in danger a joke to you?โ€
โ€œiโ€™m not seeing any danger here, love.โ€
โ€œare you blind? there's a spider on your desk! kill it quick!โ€
aaron waltzes over to his desk, next to you, who is standing on the chair freaking out and pointing. he follows your line of vision, and it takes him a moment, but then he sees it. itโ€™s a harmless little spider, about an inch or a little more big.
he canโ€™t help but grin at your dramatics. you woke him up out of bed, just to kill a spider.
โ€œitโ€™s not funny.โ€
โ€œno, no, youโ€™re right. itโ€™s not funny, sweetheart.โ€ his face opposes his statement. heโ€™s holding back a chuckle, badly covering it by pretending to wipe his face.
aaron canโ€™t help himself; he lets out a deep chuckle. he found it absolutely amusing that you were so distressed over a mere insect. he knew he should take your fear more seriously, but you looked too adorable when you freaked out.
โ€œoh my god!โ€ you squeal, โ€œitโ€™s moving, kill it now! use your shoe or something!โ€
โ€œiโ€™m not wearing shoes. you pulled me straight out of bed with your commotion, remember?โ€
โ€œfetch one of your shoes!โ€ you state like itโ€™s the most obvious thing.
aaron frowns, he looks almost offended, "i refuse to use one of my costly shoes to squash a bug."
you groan, โ€œthen shoot at it for all i care!โ€ you snap at him, waving your arms sporadically.
aaron rolls his eyes at your dramatics. he was not willing to shoot holes through his vintage wooden desk for the purpose of killing a spider.
โ€œhow about i just capture it, then let it go free outside.โ€ aaron compromises.
you gape at him, โ€œso it can lay more spider babies?โ€ you say as if it was blasphemy.
your boyfriend shrugs, โ€œor i could leave it. i mean, itโ€™s not doing any harm, why should i remove it?โ€ aaron says with a teasing voice.
your eyes widen, โ€œno, no!" you quickly wave your hands to stop him.
"okay, fine, just get rid of it, quick!โ€ you relent, deciding it was better than leaving the spider in the office.
he nods, then scans the room for a jar. he finds one that he uses for pens, and swiftly empties its contents on another surface. he grabs a paper then takes long steps to stand next to you.
aaron crouches down a little to get a better look at the spider. he acts like a predator about to pounce on its prey. you canโ€™t even bare to look anymore, you cover your eyes with your eyes. in one move the makes his attack and traps the spider into the glass.
you peak out through your fingers and see aaron has got the little critter. you shiver as you see it move around the glass, realizing its trapped. you canโ€™t stare at it too long before you get grossed out, so you cover your eyes again.
aaron uses the paper he grabbed to slide it under the jar, along with the spider. once he has it, he quickly flips the jar over, and continues covering the top with the paper. the beast itsy bitsy spider was captured.
once you saw he was contained, you let out a sigh of relief, much more calm now that aaron has got it.
aaron turns toward you with the spider jar in hand. โ€œsee, this little guy wonโ€™t hurt you.โ€ he then brings the jar closer to your face.
you shriek, trying to back away, almost offing off the chair in the process, โ€œget it away!โ€
aaron laughs, reaching one hand on your wrist to stop you from losing balance, โ€œokay iโ€™ll release this guy outside so he doesnโ€™t bother you anymore. but first get off that chair before you hurt yourself.โ€
you roll your eyes but do as he says. aaronโ€™s using one strong arm to wrap around your waist and bring you down. always the gentleman when it came to you.
you start shoving his chest, โ€œok, ok, now seriously get rid of that thing. make sure you go far.โ€ you articulate to him. you did not want that ugly thing coming back.
now aaron is the one rolling his eyes, nodding that he understands and will make sure to do so. then he leaves out the door with the spider jar.
outside, aaron made a good distance from the base, hitting part of the woody area that surrounded it. he finds a rocky area before he kneels down on one knee, setting the jar down.
he turns the jar upside-down and removes the paper. โ€” but he doesnโ€™t lift the jar just yet.
โ€œapologies for this, but canโ€™t let you go crawling around scaring my girlfriend again.โ€ he grins to himself a little, โ€œafter all i never said i was opposed to squashing you with a rock.โ€
then aaron dies just that, he grabs the nearest rock, lifts the jar, and squishes the spider.
aarons stands up and dusts himself off. what she doesnโ€™t know wonโ€™t kill her, he thinks.
plus, aaron canโ€™t deny he loves helping you when youโ€™re a damsel in distress, even it the distress in question is a tiny bug.
he then turns to walk back to base, but when aaron turns, heโ€™s see a figure standing there.
of course it was kenji.
kenjiโ€™s eyes are wide. โ€œdid i just witness a murder?โ€
aaron facepalms himself.
sorry but spiders are not safe in my fics ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹
