Mystery X Reader

He was supposed to be dead... In fact he was dying.. but you reached out..

Pain…

It's the first time he’s felt physical pain in years, maybe centuries.

Mystery shutters, holding his neck where he was slashed by Zoey; he remembered the Hunter’s name, he always remembered more than he wanted to. Gwi Ma left him in the human world… to die a slow and painful death, his punishment for failing the mission. He doesn’t even know where the other Saja Boys are... he’s pretty sure they are all dead or close to dying as well. Mystery is pretty close to accepting his fate…closing his eyes when he hears a rustling around the alley way. He opens his eyes when he spots a human…he doesn’t try to run away, he’s too close to death that it doesn’t matter if the human finishes the job or just runs away. Although he suspects they will run away soon since he is in his full demon form, all patterns and fangs and pain. He wouldn’t blame them for running.

But the longer he waits the human just stands there… until they do the unexpected… they reach out to him. Mystery flinches at first, expecting pain of some sort but it never comes. Mystery believes himself delusional when he hears the humans next words:

“You’re hurt… please, let me help you?”

Is this human insane? Don’t they know what he is? The hunters exposed them, their plan, they were here to destroy humanity… but the human seems sincere… and the craziest part is Mystery reaches out… and takes the human’s small hand in his large, clawed one.

The human heaves him over their shoulder, barely able to hold him but trying nonetheless… he can’t help but feel slightly warm for them even trying. But he quickly shoves that down, like he always does. He leans against them, and one step at a time they make it. An… apartment? That’s what he thinks Jinu called it. Jinu… he saw him sacrifice himself for those humans… why? Why, when they were so close?

The creak of the door opening snaps him from his thoughts as he is basically dragged into the room and set on the couch.

“Stay here,” the human says “I’m going to get my first aid kit.” they say before running off to what Mystery presumes is the bathroom. He doesn’t try to run, just laying back against the soft cushions of the couch. It’s not long before the human returns. They say nothing but try to brush Mystery’s hair out of the way. The demon instinctively growls which makes the human freeze for a few seconds before they smile again

“Don’t worry.. I’m not trying to see your face, I just need to push it aside to get access to your wound.” they say softly as if talking to a scared animal.

Mystery says nothing, he just lets them continue to wrap the gauze around his neck until it stops the blood from leaking out. He takes the opportunity to take a deep breath, Grateful to finally breathe freely. He gives the human a curt nod.. which only makes them beam in happiness.

“I’ll get you a pillow and blanket, you look so tired.”

This human clearly knew nothing.. demons don’t need sleep.. but for some reason he was drawn to the idea.. the human runs off to what he assumes is their room, coming back a few short seconds later. Mystery barely even looks at the human as he takes the pillow and blanket from their hands. He grunts as a form of thank you.

“You get some sleep.. just focus on healing okay?” The human says, smiling softly before disappearing into their room, shutting the door behind them. Mystery stares at the door for a long period of time. By the time he even bothers to check how much time has passed it is three in the morning… Now is his chance. He gets up from the couch and makes his way to the door. As he tries to open it the handle doesn’t budge… the door is locked. He lets himself smile a bit… smart human… but not smart enough. He shifts himself into a mist, crawling underneath the cracks of the door, letting himself seep in before he regains his form on the other side.

Their soul.. that’s all he needs and he will be healed completely.. he stands above the human sleeping soundly in their bed. They hug a pillow close to their chest as they sleep. Mystery opens his mouth, ready to suck the soul out of their body.

“Please… I’m sorry..” the human mumbles in their sleep, holding the pillow tighter as they whimper.

Mystery pauses.. he has had humans grovel for their life before.. Why is he hesitating now? Because they showed him kindness? Is he truly that weak? But yet he watches the human as they toss and turn in their sleep, clearly distressed. Mystery doesn’t even realize what he’s doing until it’s already done. He places a hand on the human's head.. eating away at their bad dreams. Faces flash before him.. an older woman crying.. an old man glaring, looking.. disappointed. He doesn’t recognize the faces but they are gone in seconds.. and the human sleeps soundly again… he will let them sleep soundly tonight.. now they are even. He shifts back into mist, crawling back out the door and resting on the couch, staring at the ceiling as he reflects on what he just did.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ a/n Yooooooo uhhhhh this is literally my first fanfic ever so props to me for actually having the the guts the post this.
