Secret Sinners Part 3 (Steddie X You)
A/N: I have been thinking about this chapter and excited to write it since I came up with idea for Secret Sinners. After a rough therapy session my brain went to town so you're going to have a lot of angst and feels in this one but I hope you enjoy it because I did <3.
Warnings: Demon Steddie X Human Fem Reader, SMUT, DP, this time they are softer with her due to the angst, FLUFF, they love each other, Readers dreams are gooey with fluff :)
ANGST, they are put through the test Nancy mentioned in the last chapter and its not fun, all three deal with different insecurities, Reader sees visions of her demons as who they were before they were trapped as well as how they would be if they were like their dads, she does get hurt (slapped, demeaned verbally but brief), Eddie deals with the consequences of running, and Steve deals with his fear of being alone and trapped again.
Bit of a rough angst but not like my toxic steddie fics :)

You smile from your place in the auditorium as you watch your mom dance on stage with some of the kids from her class. When you were growing up, you loved seeing her do her steps. She was always so graceful when she moved, as if ballet was the easiest thing in the world.
Taking a hold of a little boy’s hand, she holds it in the air as he spins in fast circle with a big grin on his face as his long wavy locks slap his face. When he stops, he falls to the floor and giggles, scrunching his nose as he grabs his tummy.
The music stops and you promptly clap your hands making your mom smile as the children head backstage. The little boy she was dancing with waves excitedly at you before following his classmates.
“Thank you, my love.”, she beams as she saunters towards the edge of the platform and jumps down to sit beside you. “So are you ready for this next adventure?”
“I am but I’m a bit nervous. Nancy said it would be rough and I don’t want to see them in pain. They’ve already been through enough.”
“You have to, baby.”
“I know, mama, but I can handle it.”
“Could you handle losing them?”
Her question startles you as you fully turn to face her.
“Why would you ask me that?”
“Really think about that, Y/N. Could you handle not having them in your life in whatever capacity that may be…”
Your eyes snap open as you are met with the sound of whooshing and clinking as your demons continue to practice their sword fighting. Eddie pushes his weapon out of the way with his and grabs Steve by the throat before slamming him to the dirt below.
“Wow, you really do suck now. Don’t ya, big boy?”, he teases.
The other demon growls as he wraps his legs around him and spins him around until he’s straddling his partner underneath him.
“I’m just rusty. I’m getting better again though.”, he grins before leaning down to kiss his lips. “Hey baby. Are you alright?”, Steve asks when he glances your way and sees you awake.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just another weird dream.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“No, Eddie, like I said I’m fine.”
Both demon’s blink as they glance at each other, sensing something in your tone.
“Alright then, well, do you want to get something to eat before we get a move on?”
“No, I’d like to go to this place where this witch is. I’m tired of wondering and would rather just find out what we need to do so we can do it.”
“Babe, we can’t go in there with that mindset… the let’s get on with it ideal. Jonathan said he’s the only one that’s walked out with that potion. We have to be care—”
“I know what we have to do, Steve! You think I don’t worry about this 24/7! It’s been a week since we found out we need to do. Can’t we just go do it!?”
Both their eyes narrow in your direction as they try to control their tempers. Fully prepared to have a verbal fight with you, Eddie steps forward but stops when he notices your head turn away to hide the single tears that begin to fall.
“Y/N, sweetheart. What did you see?”
“My mom. She asked me if I could handle losing you. She’s the second person to bring up losing one or both of you. Why?! I don’t get it. Haven’t we been through enough?”
Tugging you into his arms, the long-haired demon presses you to his chest as he rests his cheek on your head.
“Edward, I’m scared.”
“I know, baby. We are to.”
“Y/N, if getting this thing requires us to separate or for you to lose us then, honey, we’ll just leave. I’m not letting go of you or Eddie. I don’t care what anyone says.”, Steve tried to comfort.
“We’re going to do this together, princess. Everything will be alright.”
################
Clinging to your hand, you and Eddie follow Steve as you pass through into this new realm. Because it wasn’t as hostel as the others, they both felt you didn’t need a disguise but because they weren’t sure what you would be walking into they still brought all their weapons.
“What is this place called?”, you asked.
“Uh, Espejismo.”
“Huh. Are all the realms named after something in Spanish?” The demon flashed you a questioning look so elaborates. “Espejismo means Illusion and Malvado is Evil.”
“Maybe just a coincidence?”
“How do you know Spanish?”, Eddie asked.
“My dad. He used to travel a lot of his work so he learned the basics for most languages.”, you smile softly at the memory. “Where are we headed to again?”
“Jonathan couldn’t give me details but he said we would know it when we saw it.”, he replied as he continued to look at the instructions the demon slayer provided him.
As they walked down the street, something familar caught your eye. Without thinking, you crossed the area and stood outside a little shop as you watched a class of ballet performers do their warmups. You smiled to yourself as you watched the kids hold the bar and do their best to bend their knees the way they should.
“Y/N! Baby, you can’t leave like that.”, Steve scolded as he followed your eyeline.
“After my mom got sick, she taught classes like this. I would go with her sometimes during the summer and watch. I always asked her if she missed performing and she said that training new minds fulfilled her more than the applause ever did.”
Eddie softly smiled as he petted the back of your head before kissing your temple.
“Hi there. My adult class isn’t until later.”, the teacher announced as she opened the door to her studio.
“No, I’m sorry. I was just telling them about how my mother taught ballet.”
“Oh wow. That’s amazing. Do you dance as well?”
“Ha, no ma’am. I was born with graceful feet and trip when I walk normally so…”
The woman chuckles as her eyes scan over the three of you. You’re not sure if it’s because of her occupation or her kind demeanor but you feel safe with this person as if you could tell her anything.
“Why don’t you guys come in and watch the rest of the class. They are supposed to perform acts from plays and pieces they enjoy.”
“We don’t want to impose.”
“Nonsense. Please! Come in.” Your demon’s apprehensively follow as they take in the surrounding. “I’m sorry we don’t have chairs but feel free to sit on the floor here.” After doing as she asks, the young lady turns to address the children in front of her. “Alright, kids. You have a bit of an audience today but please just behave normally and do your best. Show them what we got.”, she giggles before turning to you. “Are you ready for an adventure?”
Your smile falls as her words echo that of your dream.
“Y/N? What’s wrong, honey?”, Steve whispers when he feels you stiffen beside him.
“What’s the name of this realm again?”
“Espejismo. Why?”
Your hands immediately grab theirs as the lights in the studio go out and the kids begin their performance. Sullen music begins to play as a young lady dances into frame while another reads from sheets of paper in her hand.
“Once upon a time, there was a beautiful, strong girl who worked every day being a mother to the realm around her. She made money at a job she hated to care for her father who was sick with a disease that also claimed her own maternal parent.”
Your demon’s eyes shot forward as they gripped tighter to you.
“She slaved away in her day to day feeling lost and alone until she found a gem that housed her future. What she didn’t know yet was that this stone was home to two evil demons who were trapped by a deity who utilized their kind for certain tasks through the realms.”
Two of the younger boys danced out in front, grabbing the girl’s arms, and spinning her about.
“They whispered lies to her.”, murmured the kid reading the story in a low deep voice that gave you chills. “They told her they loved her—”
“That isn’t true! We do love her!”, Steve shouted rising to her feet. The girl tilted her head as she glared at him. One of the young men that had been portraying him in their dance spun in circles till he transformed into a vision of the demon’s father.
“How can that be when you are incapable of love?”, the girl asked.
“Steven! What the fuck are you doing, son? Do you want to die? You have to keep your hands closer together if you want to hit your target!”, his dad growled. The other performers transformed as well displaying themselves as himself as his mom.
“Bill, come on. He’s just a boy.”
“That’s no excuse! He’s MY boy and I won’t have a kid who can’t fucking fight on the battlefield!”
“You were trained to fight, Steven.”, the girl continued. “Not love. Why do you think Nancy left? Or why you and Eddie were captured?”
“STOP IT!”, you screamed. “You’re hurting him!”
The lights flash and the teacher takes over telling her stories as an image of Chrissy bleeding to death appears in front of you and Eddie.
“What about you, Edward? It’s your fault all the bad stuff happens right? You’re the reason the princess was murdered, why Steven had to kill a fellow solider and flee with you, being trapped in that stone as he lost his mind… even before you became a solider you were a problem.”
Eddie’s mother appears in front of him, sobbing on her knees as his dad towers over her. A tiny version of him runs to place himself between them holding up his fists, prepared to fight.
“I swear to God, boy, you are always in the fucking way.”, his father grunted in anger.
“And I always will be if you touch her again!”
“Do you think you can really beat me, you little punk?!”
“I think I can try, asshole!”
You run to the woman with Steve’s bat in hand ready to end their pain but as you swing a light blinds you before the world goes dark.
***
“Y/N!”, Eddie screams as he finds himself in the castle back home that he had maneuvered around so many times. “STEVEN!?”
“Geez, would you stop fucking screaming?”
The demon’s eyes widen as he turns towards the voice that he heard behind the locked door next to him. As he peers into the room through the window in the door, he sees his father chained to the wall, bloodied and bruised.
“I already get tortured every day. You don’t need to add to it.”
“Fuck you.”, Eddie spits. “You deserve what you got after what you did to us and then running, you coward.”
“Oh, I’m a coward? Excuse me, son, but didn’t you run to? If anything you’re worse than me. Not only did you run but you took your best friend down with you.”
Tugging on the handle, the demon finds that the room is accessible and stomps in coming face to face with this man he resents.
“First off, I’m not your fucking son. Wayne and my mom helped raise me, not you.” That made his dad laugh sarcastically. “Secondly, I ran because I didn’t do the thing they accused me of.”
“You didn’t? You didn’t get Chrissy killed?”
“No.”
“So you weren’t sneaking around with her behind her father and fiancés back? You weren’t planning on running away with her the night before her wedding? Funny, I heard a slightly different story.”
“That’s…that’s not why she was killed. That wasn’t… I didn’t…”
“You’re doing it again, you know. Being selfish and looking for this potion is going to get Y/N or Steve killed. Could you handle that?”
“EDDIE!”
Turning at the sound of his voice, the demon ran out of the room and down the long corridors as he listened to Steve scream his name. Bursting through a door, he froze when he found you both on the floor. You were in the exact same spot Chrissy had died in and his heart shattered.
“Y/N? Baby…no, no, no. Please…”, he sobbed as he tenderly touched your face. “Wake up, sweetheart, please. Not again. Not again. Not—”
“Edward…”
Placing you gently back down, the demon crawled around the bed to find a limp Steve bleeding from his torso and his beautiful lips.
“Steven, everything’s going to be alright, baby. I promise.”
“I-I-I tried to save Y/N but—”
“Shhhh…”, the long-haired demon cooed as he caressed his cheek and ran his fingers through his hair. “Don’t think about that right now, ok? We’re going to get you some help and then…”
The sound of clanking metal caused Steve to wince as he rolled to his side and grabbed Eddie’s shirt roughly in his hands.
“Run, honey. If they catch you they’ll kill you this time. RUN!”
“NO! I’m not leaving you two. You both saved my life so many times. I’m not going anywhere! If we die, it will be together!”
The door banged open as guards pointed their weapons towards him.
“Come on, Edward. Don’t make this harder than it has to be.”
Rising to his feet, he extended his arms out to them so he could be restrained.
“I won’t.”
***
“Y/N! Eddie!?”, Steve shouted as he wondered the forest he had walked so many times growing up.
“Steven.” The demon jumped at the sound of his mother’s voice. “Come on, son.”
Talking his hand, she guides him to his childhood house he had grown up in and leads him into the living room.
“Baby!”, he cried excitedly as he fell to his knees in front of the chair you were sitting in and took your hands in his. “Honey, everything is going to be ok, alright?”
“No, Steve. It won’t.” Your eyes glanced behind him and he quickly turned to see your parents, Wayne, and his father enter the room.
“What’s going on?”
“Don’t you remember, sweetheart? We’ve been looking for a way to get Eddie out of the stone and—”
“Y/N, what are you talking about? Eddie isn’t in the stone anymore. YOU saved us by giving Maeve Henry.”
“No, Steven.”, Wayne sighed. “Y/N was able to make a deal with her to let you out but Eddie had to stay. Knowing my nephew he probably insisted on you going.”
“No…No! I never would have left him there alone! I love him and—”
“What does that mean? You love him.”, his dad sassed.
Steve glared at him as he stood to his full height again and clenched his fists.
“I mean I love him, dad. We have dates, we talk, kiss, and fuck each other. I. LOVE. HIM.”
Bill growls as Steve’s mother tries to calm him.
“Maybe we should let the little shit stay in the stone then.”
Taking ahold of his hand, you pull him down next to you as you kiss his cheek.
“Steve.”, your dad grins softly in his direction. “We all wanted to talk with you today because it seems a new deal was presented to Y/N today. She talked to Maeve and there is a way to set Edward free.”
“Thank goodness.”, he sighed as his eyes continued to scan the room.
“The thing is, Y/N would have to take his place.”
“Fuck that. Are you fucking kidding me?!”, Steve roars as he rises to his feet. “No! Plus Maeve needs Demons and Y/N isn’t one.”
“For now.” His head swivels to look at you as you speak. “Baby, if we find that potion I would be strong enough and can take over.”
“No! We’ll find another way, Y/N.”
“There is no other way.”, Maeve confidently announced as she entered the room. “The deal is simple, Steven. Either she replaces him or joins him. Would you rather lose one or both?”
***
“Edward!? Steven?! I swear to God, if you hurt them!”, you shout as you continue to search for them.
The sound of screaming fills your ears and you hastily turn around to see a small village go up in flames. You remember this from the vision they showed you of one of their summoners.
“Lizzy.”
A young woman cackles as she throws the torch in her hands towards another building and it promptly bursts into flames. Slowly backing away, you bump into something hard, coming face to face with the demon’s you love in their demon form. Their red eyes glared forward with small smirks on their faces as they watched the area burn.
“You see? I did it!”
“Good job, princess!”, Eddie grins as she runs into his arms and kisses his lips.
“No.”, you whisper. “This isn’t how it happened.”
Elizabeth scoffs as he places her on her feet and she saunters over to you.
“Excuse me. This is my memory and I know what happened. I was there remember? You think demons sent to force people to kill others didn’t enjoy innocents being murdered?”
“They didn’t. Edward and Steven never wanted to kill beings they didn’t have to.”
Their eyes glow as they turn to face you, growling in your direction.
“Look at you. Brave soul to use their real names.”
“Because it’s who they are! I love them for them.”
“What if who they are is a lie? They lied to you a few times, right?”
“They lied to protect me.”
“Hm. I wonder what else they are protecting you from.”
Elizabeth snaps her fingers and your body is thrust back into a different home near a forest you very much recognize. Your hands were covering your face and you removed them to find yourself kneeling on the ground with huge boots in your purview. Lifting your eyes, you gasp at the sight of a much larger demon standing over you with red glowing eyes. Raising his hand, he hits your face so hard you fall to side.
“This is what Edward Munson is meant to be, Y/N.”, a female voice echoes through the room.
Quickly getting to your feet, you try to run but you aren’t fast enough as rough palms grab your arms and turn you around allowing you to come face to face with an angry Eddie.
“You’re so fucking pathetic, Y/N. No wonder our son is weak!”
He hits you again before tossing you through a door where you fall into a much nicer mansion style study. There’s another demon in the room, back to you as he leans over a desk with maps and papers spread out everywhere. The glass in his hand clinks as he turns around and you’re met with an equally annoyed Steve.
“Fuck me, Y/N. How many times have I said not to bother me while I’m fucking working!”
“I…I didn’t…”
“I…I…really? Just get the fuck out of here and let me focus. I swear, honey, I love you but you’re just never going to be good enough if you don’t use your fucking brain. Now go check on our son and make sure he’s actually doing what I told him to.”
Your heart sank as you got to your feet and watched him sigh as you listened to the sound of Eddie stomping around as he shouted.
“This is what Steven Harrington is meant to be.”, the voice spoke again.
Shaking and completely unsure of what to do next, you threw your head back and screamed as loud as you could.
When you finally opened your eyes again, everything around you had disappeared and everywhere you turned was blank space until abruptly a woman you had never met appeared at your side.
“Sh-Show me…the truth… I don’t need your tests or your fucking tricks! SHOW ME THE TRUTH!”, you shouted at her as tears fell down your cheeks. “Let me make the right decision for myself.”
***
Clenching his jaw, Eddie held his head high as he was pushed to his knees in front of the king.
“I see nothing has changed. First you kill my daughter and now a high-ranking official’s son?!”
“We also found the body of a human female as well, sire.”
The king scoffs as he absently gestures every which way.
“I don’t care about one nothing human. She’s not one of our people.”
“But she was one of mine.”, the long-haired demon growled, wincing when he was hit in the shoulder.
“Just always a troublemaker, aren’t you?”
“I’ve been known to fuck up from time to time but I assure you, sir, Chrissy wasn’t one of them.” Something hit Eddie hard in the side as he toppled over in pain.
“I’m going to love the sound of your screams for the rest of your miserable existence.”
“Good. I’ll take anything you got because nothing is going to change the fact that I loved your daughter and she loved me! I would have done anything for her!”
“Like run?!”
“I fucked up!! I shouldn’t have run off. I was fucking terrified but to be honest with you, sire, if I hadn’t of run I never would have found Steve or Y/N.” One of the guards kicks him causing him to howl in pain before he continued. “Steven always says I kept him sane but the truth is he did that for me. The first time we made love, I’ll tell you, sire, I never felt fucking safer. He’s always afraid I’m going to leave him but the idea of not having him here…fucking kills me.”, he cries.
“Y/N is the most gorgeous human I’ve ever met and I don’t just mean that physically. Her kind is despicable and selfish. We spent over 3,000 years watching mankind do unspeakable things but she’s different. She’s selfless almost to a fault. She’s brave and funny and so fucking smart. She absorbs everything we say and patiently explains things to us we may not understand. If she really is dead then I know she’s back in heaven because she was definitely an angel in her world!”
“So, if you want to torture me then FUCKING DO IT! Because I’m ready, sir. I’m not running this time and if they are gone then I’m ready to join them.”
The guards behind him aggressively lift Eddie to his feet and guide him away from the king before roughly pushing him through the double doors.
***
Steve heavily exhales as his brain overloads with all the information he’s being provided.
“Sweetheart.”, you coo as you run your fingers through his hair. “I’ll be ok. This is originally what I wanted remember? You two to be free and together.”
“Y/N, no. It will NOT be ok. I told you before that it would be hell for you because you would be alone and then it would be hell on earth because we would burn it down to set you free.”
“Hm. That feels vaguely like a threat.”, Maeve sasses.
“Because it is.”, he counters as his eyes glow.
“Steven…” Grabbing his cheeks, you force him to look your way. “Then, maybe, I can go in there and stay with him. You can live your life and go home.”
“NO! I’M NOT LOSING YOU BOTH!”
“So you’ve made your choice then?”, the deity asks.
“No, goddamn it. Give me a minute and let me think!” Taking hold of your hand, he pulls you to the corner of the room so you can talk. “Honey—”
“It’s ok. I promise you. I love you so much and you both changed my life. Let me do this for you.”
His eyes scan yours before cupping your cheeks in his hands and passionately kissing your lips.
“Tell Edward I love him.”, he whispers, tearing himself away from you and glaring at Maeve. “Take me.”
People in the room gasp at his response as you rush forward placing yourself in front of him.
“Steve, no. You hated it in there.”
“I know. That’s why I won’t allow you to go and I won’t leave him there. Take me.”
“That wasn’t the deal, Steven.”
“Then make a new one, Maeve.” Her head tilts at his newfound attitude with her. “These are two people I love with all my heart. They’ve always been there for me especially this woman right here. I refuse to let her suffer for the rest of her life in that purgatory. She and Eddie have been through enough in this life—”
“And you haven’t?”, your mom asked him.
“Oh please. What hardships has he gone through? Leading an army and being a mentor in a vacation house. That stone would be a nice reprieve I bet.”
Steve smirked as he bent down and placed his hands on his knees like he used to do with some of the children he trained.
“Well, dad, why don’t you take Eddie’s place?” His father scowled at him, angrily turning away to avoid his son’s hard gaze. “Yeah, that’s what I fucking thought. You know, you always said I was weak and a coward but the truth is you are. I worked hard to get ahead and yet it was never enough. I found two beings who love me for me and I’d do anything for them.”
“You won’t get to see Eddie to say goodbye. As soon as I do this there’s no going back.”, Maeve warned.
Steve’s bottom lip quivered at the thought of not even being able to see the man he loved but Eddie would understand. Turning towards you, he caught you as you jumped into his arms.
“I love you, Y/N. You are an amazing, beautiful woman. You’ve shown me so much, baby. I wish I could have spent the rest of my life with you two.”, he whimpered his last sentence as he kissed your forehead before shoving you backwards and hastily moving forward. “Do it, Maeve.”
The last thing he heard was you shout as white light blinded his eyes.
***
They passed by you so fast as you stood there and took in all the memories. Eddie protecting his mom when his dad was drunk and enraged. Steve feeling inadequate as his father called him names and belittled him. You saw Wayne break as his nephew took his place in their militia.
“Edward, I can’t let you do this.”
“It’s done, Wayne. I already did it and the king approved. I start training next week.”
You saw Steve catching Nancy as she packed her bags to leave.
“That’s right, Nance. Just fucking run like the coward you are.”
“Steve, this isn’t my fault, okay?! I didn’t choose this. It just…is.”
“I thought you loved me…”
The training and combat were glimpses of things you had already seen including them meeting and their kills on the field. What was new was watching Eddie appear out of nowhere as the enemy soldiers were relaxing and playing his guitar, lulling them into a false sense of security while Steve and his team killed them.
“Always amazing, dude.”, Robin beams as Eddie bows.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Congratulate him later and make sure none of these assholes are moving.”
“Yes, sir.”, she salutes sassily making him smile.
There were things they hadn’t told you that appeared before you.
Eddie played his guitar making the girl in his bed swoon.
“You don’t have to keep wooing me, sir. I’m already here.”, she giggles.
“Hey, maybe I’m serenading my best friend and his date. Not everything is about you, babe.”
Steve chuckled through a breathy moan from his spot on the floor in front of the bed as his head fell and he thrust harder into the girl underneath him.
It amazed you how much cockier they seemed before their time on the run. You had never meet this version of them and a part of you thought if you had…you would have hated them. You assumed the memories of Chrissy were purposely skipped because you had seen them all before including the memory of Steve finding him and deciding to run with him.
The memories that hit the hardest were the ones that involved their suffering. You saw them accidently bleed on Maeve’s gem and watched their first angry night in captivity.
“Fuck! Are you fucking kidding me!? We run and we still end up in a fucking prison!”, Steve shouts as he throws something across the room. “What the fuck do we do now?!”
“I mean…at least we don’t have to run anymore right? See different parts of the world and watch beings kill other beings.”
They lay side by side staring at the ceiling after their first time being intimate.
“Eddie?”
“Hm?”
“Did I, um, are we…what was this?”
“Honestly, I’m not 100% sure. Since you initiated it, what would you like it to be?”
“Did…Did you like it? Being with me, I mean.”
“Did I like the sex or did I like being with you?”
“Um, both, I guess.”
Eddie rolled on to his side, capturing Steve’s face with his palm, and placed a tender kiss on his lips. After pulling away, he gently ran his thumb along the man’s bottom lip.
“Yes.”
They watched as Arthur’s father screams at his son, Steve glancing towards Eddie as he flinches. While his back is to them, the demon scoots closer to the long-haired boy and delicately pushes some of it behind his ear.
“Are you ok?”, he whispered.
“Yeah. He just reminds me of my dad. It got me thinking if he ever talked to you that way if he found out about us.”, Eddie growled.
Steve softly smiled as he kissed his cheek.
“I love you, Edward.”
“I love you to, Steven.
When you made it to their memories with you, you could barely view them through the haze of your tears. The three weeks they were tied to you they had so many conversations about things they wished they could do with you and show you back home. They constantly talked about how much they loved you and wanted to spend the rest of their lives with you.
A few memories you hadn’t seen with your own eyes did stand out to you. You witnessed Steve tear Noah apart, them murmuring things to each other while EMS came to take your father, and a heated debate the night you asked them to leave you alone when you found out they had lied.
“We should have told her the truth. Now we fucking lost the best person we’ve ever met.”
“Maybe this is good, Steve.”
“What the FUCK are you talking about?!”
“The angrier she is at us the easier it will be for her to let us go. We’re going to lose her anyway.”
“Eddie, I love her! I can’t stand her last memory of us being us breaking her fucking heart.”
“We’re going to break her heart when we disappear!!”, he roared.
Their conversation ceased as they listened to you cry on the other side of the wall.
“That’s our fault, Edward.”
The long-haired demon swallowed the lump in his throat as he quickly looked away.
“I know, Steven.”
The last memory you see is you freeing them before you’re sounded by a white once again.
“You say you love them for who they are but do you really understand what that means?”, the woman by your side muses as she begins to slowly walk around you. “They are killers, Y/N, and violent ones at that. In their world, that was praised as well as their lust for women of their kind. I imagine in the beginning being able to fuck a summoner was something they enjoyed greatly.”
“That was their past. They aren’t like that now.”
“You’re very forgiving. You forgave the man who cheated on you with your coworker while you were at home taking care of your father. Hell, you forgave that coworker and even allowed her to push you around. You forgave the heavens even though you prayed constantly that both your parents would get better and forgave all the people that abandoned you after they got sick. Let me ask you something. How do you know Eddie and Steve aren’t like those other people? How do you know they aren’t taking advantage of you?”
Her intensely beautiful eyes scan you over as you cry harder and shrug.
“Because they’re still here.”
The woman waits patiently for you to collect yourself so you can explain.
“I freed them from their prison and even I thought they would want time alone to travel but they insisted on staying by my side. They found out they could finally go home and I begged them to go back but they knew doing that would mean they couldn’t be with me. I told them to do whatever makes them happy even if that doesn’t involve me yet here they are putting themselves through God knows what because they want to be with me for the rest of their lives. They love me and I love them…EVERY PART of them.”
The woman stops walking and gently smiles in your direction before gesturing towards some double doors.
“I’ll be right in.”
#############
As you walk through, you come face to face with your demon’s hugging each other tightly.
“Oh my god. Look at your face. What happ—“, Steve interrupted himself when his eyes met your swollen, tear-filled one. “Y/N?! Baby, what happened? Are you ok?!”
Your knees buckled and Eddie quickly caught you as he winced himself, falling with you to the floor.
“It’s ok, sweetheart. I know. We’re real, baby. I promise. It’s ok.”
Steve circled his arms around you both, rocking you along with Eddie.
“Everything IS ok.”, the woman from before grins as she glides into the room and sits behind a desk gesturing for you three to sit in the chairs in front. “I’m Mirage by the way. If you couldn’t tell by the name of the realm.”, she grins.
“What did you do to her?”, Steve growls as they both stand and place you behind them.
Pushing them aside, however, you dry your eyes and take a seat, ushering for them to do the same.
“I genuinely am sorry for the pain I caused especially to you, Y/N. You do seem like an extremely kind soul. You have no idea how many people come to me asking for this potion and the kind of people they are. I have to be very careful which is why I push so hard. I’ve only ever met one person I felt deserved this and now I’ve met two.”, she smiles handing you the black bottle. “Keep it safe. A regular human shot glass will keep you alive for a thousand years and make you strong like them. I feel I should also tell you—”
“I can get pregnant.”
Both their eyes whipped in your direction as she sighed, flashing you another soft smile.
“Humans can’t impregnant demons which is why I didn’t say anything to Nancy and Jonathan. If you drink that potion that will now be something to take into account.”
You nodded before laughing under your breath.
“You already know, don’t you? That’s another reason you showed me them being like their dads.”
“You did what?”, Eddie snarled as his hands gripped his chair tighter trying to control himself.
“Would I have survived the birth if you didn’t give me this potion?” Her eyes lock with yours and you can’t help but laugh again. “Sounds like you need some tests of your own if you would knowingly leave a boy without his mother. I did everything I could to keep my parents here and if I had known someone knew a way to save them and didn’t… You should be ashamed of yourself.”
“I live in a universe by myself, sweetheart. I create the world around me and none of it is real. Trust me… I amashamed but we do what we have to do to keep the peace.”
“Yeah, keep telling yourself that.”, you spit as you get to your feet and grab the bottle off her desk. “I want to go home please.”
Steve nods as he quickly creates the portal and guides you both through.
#############
After stepping through, you silently walk towards your car where you three had left it and drove with them to the nearest hotel where you all crashed in bed wrapped tightly in each other’s embrace.
The following morning you and Eddie felt extremely sore, Steve doing everything he could to take care of you both. Throwing his shirt to the side, Eddie waited patiently, flinching when the ice pack touched his body.
“I saw you both die.”, he abruptly announced. “Y/N, you had a knife in your chest…you were…already gone.” Your eyes became glassy as you scooted closer to him when his voice cracked. “The guards were coming and Steve told me to run but…I didn’t. Not this time. They kept hurting me while I faced Chrissy’s dad.”
“In mine, you were still in the stone and Y/N made a new deal with Maeve. It was either she takes your place or join you. Either I lost one of you or…both.”, Steve whispered his last word, clearing his throat before he continued. “I told her to take me. She said I wouldn’t get to say goodbye to Eddie or ever see you guys again. I made the same choice…take me.”
They both glanced your way but you avoided their eyes as you kissed Eddie’s shoulder.
“You said…she showed you us being like our fathers?”, Steve urged.
“She showed me a lot of things…”, you whispered.
“You can tell us, honey. It’s ok.”
“You don’t understand.”
“Help us to, baby.”, Eddie cooed gently as he turned his body to face you.
“I’ve never…been afraid of you. When you first appeared from the stone, I was scared of your appearance but… I saw Elizabeth and you both were happy she killed all those people. Mirage said you were evil…that’s who you were meant to be. Eddie, you grabbed me and hit me…told me I was pathetic and that I was the reason our son was weak.”
The long-haired demon closed his eyes as he tried to control his tears as his body shook beside you.
“I ended up in this study where, Steve, you were going over maps and papers. Y-You said I was bothering you and that I was never going to be good enough if…”
“…you don’t use your fucking brain… Yeah, my dad said that to me and my mom a lot.”
“I’ve never been afraid of you before.”, you repeated as your voice trembled. “I, um, screamed at her and demanded she show me who you really are and allow me to make the choice for myself. I saw everything… you two killed so many beings…”
“It was our job, Y/N.”, Eddie murmured.
“Was it your job to sneak up on defenseless soldiers with your guitar so Steve and Robin could kill them?”, you asked in an angry tone that had both their heads hanging. “Or how about all the demon women you both were with that you disrespected constantly? I wonder how Chrissy and Nancy got so lucky to get the versions of you before you were trapped.”
“Nancy was part of the reason I was like that.”, Steve growled. “No one had ever fucking hurt me the way she did but we were younger, Y/N. All we knew was death and sex especially Eddie and me. You saw how we were raised! Every day was a fucking war while we were there.”
“Did she insinuate that we enjoyed being trapped those first few years because we got to see people get killed and fuck the summoner if we wanted?”, Eddie asked, chuckling sarcastically when you nodded.
“I heard you say it…on your first night.”
“I was trying to calm him down. Truth was we were both terrified but I needed to keep it together for him.”
“You didn’t have to take on that burden, Edward.”
“Yeah, well, I did, Steven.”
“What was your test?” When you didn’t immediately respond, a rumble immitted low from Eddie’s chest as he rose to his feet. “Was it if you would still love us and stay with us if we were those monsters you saw?! If we treated you like trash would stay?!”
Rising to your feet, your chest bumped his as you glared up at him with termination.
“No, it was if I would still be weak like I was with everyone in my life if you two were using me like they had!” You shook your head as you flung your arms in the air angrily. “My ex, Carol, my boss, friends, family that disappeared, hell even fucking Henry thought they could use me because I never said anything! I never fought back! I had already been through so much and each time I got my hopes up even a little bit I got fucked over! The first time I ever fought back was when I saved you two!”
Eddie’s demeanor softened slightly at your admission as you continued.
“You could have left a long time ago…but you haven’t. You could have gone home. I TOLD you to go home but you’re still here. I know you’re not like your dads or even how you were before…everything. I know that because if you were or I thought for one second you didn’t love me…I wouldn’t be here.”
To prove your point, you popped open the bottle of potion and chugged a good amount of it back before putting it back on the dresser.
Cupping your face in his hands, the metalhead pulls you in for a rough kiss that has you both groaning into each other’s mouths. You cringe as the formula runs through you as you cling to his shoulders.
“It’s ok. It doesn’t hurt as bad as last time.”, you grunt through the pain.
“Y/N, I would never hurt you like my dad did. I would never lay my hands on you or Steve like that. I swear, princess. You’re both safe with me.”
“And our son?”
Eddie breathily laughed as he rested his forehead on your own.
“That was real?”
“How do you know, Y/N? How do you know she wasn’t fucking with you?”, Steve asked with a small shake in his voice.
“She could have had you guys say kid or child. In my test you both mentioned our son. I’ve also…seen him…in my dreams.” Standing off the bed, the demon lifts you in his arms and lays you flat on the mattress behind you. “Is that ok? How do you both feel about that?”
Steve passionately kissed your lips, his tongue gliding across your own as the other demon comes to lay beside you as well.
“Scared but ready. Hopefully, he’s more like you than us.”
“In my dream, he had your hair, Edward and Steven’s smile. He was dancing with my mom and having so much fun.”
You started to cry again causing them to panic slightly as both demon’s wrapped their arms tightly around you.
“I’ve never been afraid of you before.”, you repeated again. “I’m sorry. I know it wasn’t real but I didn’t like it. Even worse, I know it was real for you two because you went through that.”
“No reason to be sorry, honey. I’ve been to many different realms but none like that one. Baby, I swear, I will never talk to you, Eddie, or our son like that. I love you three so much. Like he said, you’re safe with us.”
Tenderly moving you onto your back, Eddie kisses your tummy and up your body, kissing the bruising that was beginning to form along the side of your face.
“Me to, princess. I love all three of you.”
Reaching over you, he unbuttoned Steve’s pants and helped him slide them down his legs as you lifted your own over his hip. Changing back into their demon form, they both groaned at the feel of your skin against theirs as Eddie spit into your cunt before taking hold of the other demon’s cock and guiding it into your entrance.
As he slowly thrust into you, your arm circled around his neck and mewled as your fingers ran through his hair while his lips kissed your own.
They were both being incredibly soft with you and you appreciated the change especially with everything that happened. The truth was they needed that just as badly as you did. Both demons thought they had lost you and the other feeling utterly helpless. They needed to feel every part of you and each other to remind themselves that THIS was their reality and not what they were shown.
Placing himself between your legs, Eddie’s tongue flattened as he licked along Steve’s cock as it pumped in and out of you while also taking time to suck and flick the muscle along your clit making you moan.
“Fuck, that feels so fucking good.”, Steve whimpered as he rested his head against the side of yours. “Can you see him, honey? Eddie knows how to take care of us.”, he grunted as quickened his pace.
As you tilted back to kiss him, Steve’s palm tangled in the other demon’s hair, pressing him further into you causing you to pant heavily as you tried to focus in on all the sensations you were feeling.
“Please…please don’t stop.”
“Mmm—cum, pretty girl. Cum on Edward’s tongue, baby.”
After sliding his cock out of you, it was promptly replaced with Eddie’s tongue and expert fingers moving at a blistering pace till you screamed his name as the coil in your tummy snapped while grinding your hips against his motions.
“Good. Good girl.”
They continued whispering praises to you as the metalhead climbed the length of your body and the other demon positioned you more on your side with your back against his chest. Eddie whimpered as he guided himself into your dripping, sensitive core as Steve hissed while pushing his length into your ass.
You desperately clung to them with their heads falling on either side of your nook as they thrust their hips at a slow but firm rhythm. Their eager pants warmed your skin as they pumped their cocks impossibly deep with you, moaning as you dragged your nails down Eddie’s back over his tucked away wings.
As your fingers ran through Steve’s hair and along his horns, they both leaned over you to exchange a kiss as they began pounding into you.
“F-Fuck, please.”
“I know, baby. We—shit—we can feel it. Cum, sweetheart.”
Both demon’s lips attached to your neck as Eddie reached down to massage your clit while your eyes rolled back and whimpered their names. To your surprise (and delight), the long-haired demon came with you, filling you up as your cunt clenched tightly around him.
Steve’s hand clasped around your neck lightly as he chased his high before his rhythm faltered and grunted as he released his seed inside of you.
You did everything you could to keep your eyes open for them but with the heaviness of the day and them making you feel good, the tiredness overtook you as you fell asleep in their embrace.
***
As your eyes opened, you were still in bed at the hotel but you were wearing one of Eddie’s shirts with Steve’s boxers tucked tightly under the covers. Freeing your arms to stretch, an extra weight in the bed moved startling you slightly till you noticed the little head with black curls.
Grinning, you scooted down so your face was level with his as you watched the little demon sleep. Your fingers gently traced along his face making your smile grow when his skin didn’t cause you any pain. Your hand moved along his back, feeling the tiny growth of wings that were beginning to sprout. When he opened his eyes, they were red with a hint of your own color shimmering up at you with nothing but love.
“Hi, mommy.”
Your chest caved in as a cry escaped your throat at the sound of his voice. It wasn’t deep like theirs but soft like your own.
“I’m sowwey, mommy. Did I make you sad?”, he asks as his little hands reach up to dry your eyes.
“No, sweetheart. You didn’t make mommy sad. You’re just so handsome!” When he giggled at your compliment his mouth opened wide like Eddie’s as a loud cackle exuded from him. “How are you, baby? Are you alright?”
He nods, scrunching his little nose in thought.
“Mommy, are my daddy’s nice like you?”
“Of course, honey. Why do you ask?”
“I only know you.”, he responds as he touches your stomach. “An granma an granpa.”, he chuckles as he points at the light outside of the window.
You try to contain your tears of joy so you don’t frighten him again.
“I wanna meet dem but they don’t have a door like you.”, he says as he points to your forehead.
“Yeah, your mommy’s weird.”
“No, mommy!”, he laughs making you smile.
“Do you want me to tell them something for you?”
The small demon’s nose scrunches again as he thinks.
“Tell dem Ellis says I love you!”
Your eyes flutter open as light pours into window of the hotel and you feel gentle hands running along your arms.
“Hey, princess. You alright? You were kind of mumbling in your sleep.”
“I saw him again… our son.” Steve lifts his head and rests his cheek on your shoulder from behind you. “He looks like both of you. How can that be?”, you whisper.
“Honestly, baby, this is kind of out of bounds for us. If we had known you drinking that would have gotten you pregnant… I guess like Maeve said, ‘When you meddle in the abstract…’”, Eddie murmured back as he caressed your face.
“Maybe someone back home would know. I mean maybe the little buttheads can find something.”, Steve teases making the two of you laugh softly. “Tell us more about him, Y/N; our son.”
After describing what you saw, they both smile as they paint a picture of him in their heads.
“I wish I could talk to him to.”
“He said he’s tried but you two don’t have a ‘door’ like I do.”, you emphasis by tapping your forehead. “I guess that’s a unique way to explain my gift. He wanted me to tell you something. He said, ‘Tell them Ellis says I love you.’”
At the mention of his name both your demon’s locked eyes as Eddie released a heavy exhale.
“Baby, when we were trapped, we talked a lot about so many different things. One night, I asked Eddie if we ever had kids what would their names be. I told him I didn’t have any preference because I don’t have any family I’m really close to except him even before. He said if it was a girl, Elizabeth, because that was his mother’s name. If it was a boy—”
“Ellis because it’s close to that. Fuck…”, he cried as you tilted forward to kiss his lips. “You guys didn’t have to do that. Y/N has family and stuff we could have named him after.”
“We can do that next time.”
Again, his head shot up to look your way.
“Y-You’d want more kids with us?”
“I mean, yeah. I’m not exactly sure if I can after this one. Like you said this is new territory but if we can…”
Both demon’s cling to you like little kids as they smile and kiss your face.
“So, now I get to see your home?”
“Yeah, baby, you do.”

Hey lovelies! So ya’ll remember that Blue Tears idea I had a while ago?
Welp, it’s done :)
Enjoy the angst! <33
...............
“Fly away, you’re free...”
“..Pidge..?” Confused at the command given to them, Blue’s Pidgeot stared at the shattered remains of their pokeball, before staring back at their master.
He wasn’t even looking at them, but rather at the ground, messy brown bangs obscuring most of his face.
They didn’t fully understand what he meant by that.
After all they’ve been through together, this is what he does? Release them back into the wild...just like that?
Although Pidgeot wasn’t too familiar with this place, they recognized it as the entrance to Kanto’s tallest mountain. And this is where all of the extremely dangerous Pokémon and weather conditions resided.
That being said, why did he want them to leave? They didn’t see any of their friends’ pokeballs on him, so without them he’d be in grave peril.
Yet he didn’t seem to care as he sighed in irritation, annoyed that they were refusing to listen to him. “You’re free to live your own life again. I’m not your trainer anymore. Just go.”
The Bird Pokémon was extremely taken aback by his behavior, but then again...he hasn’t been the same ever since he lost his champion title--and other things he cared about, such as his Raticate.
Although they all knew it was an accident, Pidgeot thought that grief would make Blue even stronger. Even after losing to Red for the final time, they never stopped supporting him and vowed to train harder.
Maybe he finally reached his limit, unwilling to go on.
Yet when they shook their head in protest, he snapped. “Don’t make this harder than it has to be!! GO!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!” He yelled, kicking the pieces of the pokeball into the dirt, causing Pidgeot to flinch.
However during his fit, the bag accidentally slipped off his shoulder. As it tumbled to the ground they noticed something shiny and silver sticking out of the pouch:
Something sharp.
But they didn’t get a good chance to really see what it was as Blue scrambled to pick up his bag, sealing it shut with the item tucked back inside. He looked at his companion again, with exhaustion in his eyes. “...I’m sorry, I just...I need to face him alone. So please go and forget about me...goodbye.”
Those words devastated Pidgeot to the core, especially when he pleaded for them to “forget” about him.
How could they possibly do that?
What did he intend to do with that sharp shiny thing?
They had a bad feeling in their gut, and so they flapped their wings and flew off the mountain. Not out of obedience, but rather in a frantic pursuit to find the one person that could certainly help him and Red.
They can’t beg him to come back home.
But they knew exactly who could.
.........
“[Y/n], I don’t think it’s such a good idea for you to climb Mount Silver. The boys are probably fine-”
“Professor, I’ve looked all over town for them.” You huffed as you mounted your Rapidash outside of the Pokémon Lab, frowning down at Oak. “They’re my friends. I know Red likes going off on his own, but I know damn well Blue wouldn’t just disappear without telling me.”
At the mention of his grandson’s name, he fell quiet. It didn’t go unnoticed by you, which only made your blood boil even more.
You remembered fiercely defending Blue after Oak expressed great disappointment over his “failure” to keep his championship title for even a day before losing to Red.
Heck, even the silent trainer felt guilty seeing his rival getting chewed out. He nearly forgot that he still needed to go inside the Hall of Fame.
It made you wonder if that contributed to his desire to go into exile.
“Does he only matter to you when he’s training Pokémon or researching alongside you?”
“Wha..o-of course not!” The professor protested, frowning at your accusations. “He matters to me more than you know. I just..thought my words would give him the push to do better. Maybe I could have worded them differently, but-”
“You knew he was struggling with losing his Raticate. I would’ve thrown in the towel if any of my Pokémon died like that, but Blue didn’t because he’s not a quitter. But when he needed your support the most...you just told him his best wasn’t enough. Imagine how he feels right now...”
Shaking your head, you scratched Rapidash’s ears gently. She could understand your frustration as she snorted in agreement.
Oak knew there was some truth to your words. At the time, he didn’t even think about the fact that Blue cared so much for his Pokémon..not treating them like tools as he previously assumed.
But as he was about to give you another poor excuse for his harsh words, both of you heard a familiar bird cry and looked up, seeing a Pidgeot land in front of you.
At first you were confused, wondering why this one decided to randomly show up and greet you specifically.
Then...it clicked in your mind.
“Oh! You’re..Blue’s Pidgeot, right?”
“Pidge! Geot!!” They nodded frantically, using a wing to gesture up to Mt. Silver.
While you weren’t well-versed in Poke language, you knew that if they were here all alone...then Blue must’ve gotten trapped up there in the mountains.
What if Red was, too?
“Okay, okay..I’ll follow you up there.” You glanced back at Oak apologetically. “Sorry, chief. I hate going against your advice, but my friends are stuck up there. I have to go help them. My Pokémon are strong enough.”
“Alright, but do be careful.” He nodded in understanding, now looking gravely worried. “The weather up there can be unpredictable, too. Make sure you don’t get stuck up there yourself.”
“I promise I’ll get us all back home. Now let’s go, girl!" You shouted to Rapidash, who neighed and galloped after Blue’s Pidgeot, heading towards the nearest slope that will lead you up Mt. Silver the quickest.
This was officially a race against time. You had no idea if those two got cornered by extremely aggressive Pokémon or were simply lost in one of the caves...all you could do was pray that you weren’t too late.
Eventually, the three of you arrived at the cavern’s entrance, with Rapidash’s flames keeping you and Pidgeot warm as you went inside. ‘Thank Arceus I bundled up for this trip beforehand...’
You tried to be as quiet as possible so you didn’t provoke any of the wild Pokémon that might be clinging to the walls or hiding underground.
Honestly, you didn’t know where this path would lead to. But considering the footprints on the ground were still somewhat fresh, you knew one of the boys couldn’t have gone too far.
‘The only question now is how far could he have-’
“THIS IS FOR EVERYTHING!!!”
The sudden loud scream of anger startled you, especially when you recognized Blue’s voice. In panic and confusion, you bolted further into the cave, winding up in a chamber where...
You stumbled upon a rather horrifying scene:
Blue furiously attacking Red. Though not with any Pokémon moves..
But a gleaming bloodstained knife.
The silent trainer tried in vain to defend himself, but his arms got slashed up as blood dripped onto the ground beneath him. And eventually he was shoved down, a pained grunt leaving him.
You couldn’t believe this is where Red’s been after all this time. You would’ve been overjoyed to see him....under completely different circumstances.
His rival stood over him, purple sweater splattered in red as he looked down at him, grinning like a manic. Red’s eyes filled with tears, trying to shuffle towards his bag where his Pokémon were safely nestled inside. He couldn’t let any of them get into danger...even if they were powerful enough to overwhelm Blue.
“..p-please..don’t hurt them...” He managed to rasp, voice quivering in terror.
“...oh, so now you can talk, huh?! And that’s all you gotta say?!” Tilting his head, Blue’s smile only grew as he laughed hysterically. “You think you could just hide away up here?!! YOU THINK YOU COULD JUST WALK AWAY LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED?!!” He screamed. "You took everything from me, “Champion”..so now I’m gonna-”
“BLUE!!!”
Shocked by your unexpected arrival, he spun around with wide eyes to see you jumping off Rapidash. Then he noticed his Pidgeot by your side, scowling deeply at the bird for ratting him out like this. “P-Pidgeot..you brought them here?”
“Of course they did. I thought you guys were hurt, but...but this is insane. What do you think you’re doing?!”
Obviously, you were mortified that he planned to outright kill Red in some sickening act of “revenge”, but you remembered that you had to remain calm lest he did anything rash...to either you, Red, or himself.
After recalling Rapidash for her own safety, you took a few steps forward, trying to get to Red. And you immediately stopped as Blue held the blade against his own neck. Tears fully streamed down his face now, teeth gritted to bite back the sobs that wanted to escape.
“Hey, hey, hey...it’s okay, Blue.” You put your hands up, showing him you mean no harm. “You’re gonna be okay. Just please put the knife down. I know you’re in pain, but this isn’t going to make things better-”
“I-I didn’t want you to come here, [y/n]..” He sniffled. “You couldn’t just stay away. Now I have to kill you, too!!” Another hysterical laugh left his lips. “How funny...w-we grew up together, and now we’re all gonna die together and nobody will know where we are!!!”
“That’s not true.” You tried to reassure him. “Nobody has to die. We can all go home together. We can find another way to resolve this..to help you through your grief. I know you think Red deserves this...” For a brief moment, your gaze went to the other trainer’s. He was struggling to cover his wounds, barely breathing. “..but he doesn’t. He never meant to-”
“Why...Why are you defending this coward?! After all he did..h-he just runs away and thinks I’d just forgive and forget?!!”
“..n-no, Blue..”
Tensing, the brunette glanced back at Red, scowling. “Shut up, coward.” Then he looked to you again. “Tell me, [y/n]..who would you rather leave this mountain with? Me or him?”
His question had you in disbelief. How could you possibly choose?
You shook your head. “You know I can’t pick-”
“LIAR!! I KNOW IT WOULD BE HIM!! BECAUSE IT’S ALWAYS HIM!!” He snapped angrily, pointing his weapon at you as that maniacal grin from before displayed itself for you to see. “If you wanna “help me” so badly...then let’s make this quick.”
“Wha-!!”
All of the sudden, Blue yelled as he charged at you, swinging the knife--only for the blade to miss you by mere inches. Pidgeot panicked and used Gust to push him away from you, flapping their wings quickly so that you had time to get to the wounded Red.
“[Y/n]...please run..” He pleaded as you kneeled beside him. But you ignored him, instead calling out Chansey. At first she was stunned upon seeing the extent of his injuries, though at your request she began using Heal Pulse to aid him.
She needed to be absolutely focused on this task, so when you heard the wind stop, you got up to shield the pair from Blue. He was just staring you down furiously.
The murderous glint in his eyes barely made him seem human anymore..it was both tragic and horrific to see him reduced to this...to resort to killing over an accident, plus other things that his rival couldn’t have possibly expected to push him to this point.
It was like some supernatural force had taken ahold of his grief, driving it to the extreme.
Yet you firmly stood your ground. “So what now? You’re just gonna kill my Chansey, too? After all she’s done to heal you and your Pokémon?! Don’t you remember when she tried saving your Raticate?”
“”Trying” isn’t the same as actually saving, idiot!!” He snarled. “If you had any brains left, you know I can’t leave witnesses-”
However, he was interrupted as a pokeball attached to your belt suddenly popped open on its own, sending out..
Your Shiny Raticate.
“Grrrrrat!!!” They bared their fangs, glaring at the crazed trainer who dared to harm you.
Blue stared at them for a moment, and the back to you--who was just as surprised that they emerged without you calling for them. And he smiled, laughing quietly. “Y-Yours evolved?”
“I meant to tell you..but after what happened, it didn’t seem like the best time.” You told him apologetically. “I’m sorry.”
“...well..it doesn’t matter anymore.” He flicked the blade towards them. “They’ll be seeing my Raticate very soon!”
And with that, he charged blindly at your Pokémon, wanting to just land a single hit on them.
“Rat, dodge and use a light Quick Attack!!” You ordered.
The Shiny Raticate nodded and evaded the knife’s swipe, using that move you commanded to leave a scratch mark on his face. As Blue shouted in pain, he dropped the knife, blood trickling down his cheek. Once they grabbed the knife’s handle in their mouth, they carefully rushed back to your side, leaving it at your feet.
“Good job!” Smiling, you kneeled down to hug them, before pushing the knife behind you so Blue couldn’t get to it.
Speaking of whom, you looked up to see him collapse to his knees, his breathing shaky. With a trembling hand, he grabbed a nearby rock and clumsily threw it at the Shiny Raticate in a poor attempt to hurt them. But they huffed and climbed onto your shoulder, as you gazed at him in sadness.
“Blue, that’s enough. You’ve lost.”
“...th-that’s the problem, I always lose,” he began to sob, the crushing weight of his actions beginning to push down on him. “It’s not fair! Why do you get to be with your Pokemon..a-and I can’t?"
Through his tears, he sniffled as he noticed Chansey helping Red sit up, most of his wounds reduced to small scratches. “You think I-I wanted to hurt either of you?!! I just...I just wanted my life back...but I have nothing now. Not even that stupid knife...” Then he buried his face into his hands. “I-I can’t keep living like this!”
Your heart ached to hear his muffled sobbing, but it seems that bringing out your Shiny Raticate finally got through to him.
Maybe it’s because his and yours were best buddies as Rattatas. Back then, you didn’t know why yours had such a strange “mutation”, but just like Blue..you loved your companion unconditionally.
For a moment you looked at each other, before going over to comfort him. You kneeled down and hugged him, feeling him cling to you and cry like a little kid. The Shiny Raticate nuzzled the side of his head, frowning as they also understood his grief.
“I-I’m so sorry...”
“It’s alright.” You reassured him softly. “Let’s just go home, okay? Before we all freeze to death up here.”
Nodding, he quieted down as you let him go, helping him stand up. Red managed to get up with Chansey’s assistance, and you smiled at the pair. ‘Thank Arceus I got here just in time.’
You called out the rest of your Pokémon to help make the long journey back home and to the hospital. The three of you vowed to tell them that you just got attacked by wild Pokemon...nobody had to know what really happened up on Mt. Silver.
And as for Blue’s knife..it remained in the chamber, buried deep within the snow.
Never to be found again.
