#insert anime training montage/j

[liliallowed]

What if we just. Like. Cried for a few hours. I feel like we deserve it. Some nice rest and stuff. Maybe shove holy water down the demon's throat idk

yeah, imagine being almost murdered by your partner smh/j

since your attempts at harming the foul creature only seem to result in accidentally tending to their wounds so you forget about the holy water.

what you do instead sit down in the corner of the room, silently processing what had happened.

this was your fault. they were right. if you hadn't made the stupid choice to open the damned container none of this would have happened. this was just the consequences of you being so stupid.

why didn't you believe him? why did you HAVE TO BE SO STUPID!?

he warned you SO MANY TIMES... he told you they were evil. he GAVE YOU A WAY OUT. WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE IT!?

WHY DID YOU RUIN EVERYTHING!? he had every right to hate you.

"I love you. you know that right?" another sob threatened to break from your throat but you held it in.

he DIDN'T hate you. that only made it WORSE. he cared. and he still... you didn't understand.

or maybe you did. he must've thought he was doing the right thing... or maybe you were both just lying to yourselves.

you glare at the demon standing Infront of you with tears dripping down your cheeks.

they frown looking at you.

"pathetic. stop. don't look at me like that this is all your fault... " you grit your teeth.

you hated them you HATED them. you hayed what you did. what they did. this was all a fall out of your first mistake.

this WAS your fault.

"blaming yourself isn't going to make things better you know... no matter how many times you make dumb mistakes... throwing a pity part won't change it."

"shut up. you don't GET to comfort me. you... YOU MADE ME TURN BACK TIME YOU... HOW DO I GET THIS THING OFF...! " you scratch at the floating screen trying to swat it away like a fly.

the demon rolls their eyes.

"you're such a lovestruck fool. he always planned to kill you regardless of his personal feelings. you only made things harder for both of you. I told you this would happen."

just like how HE told YOU and it all came true.

would you make the same mistakes and ignore them? you genuinely thought there'd be a good solution to this...

"sighhhhhh you look like a mopy wet cat. jesus. pull yourself toghter. aren't you supposed to be figuring out a way to get stronger? so you don't die to him?"

"I'm not KILLING PEOPLE!" you shout only for a towel to hit you in the face.

"exp isn't the only way to get stronger dumbass. it's just more effective and faster. we're going to work on your stamina and agility. forget about strength. your WHIMPY soft hearted ass won't be using it anyway."

"wh... what?"

"you heard me. get stronger. I'm not planning on letting a dumbass like you die to riding hood. go pull yourself together and we'll see if you can back up your ideals with actions instead of hypocritical words. fight me!"

they grinned at you.

"after all you did vaguely mention you hate feeling like a damsel. so PROVE IT coward. instead of crying in a corner like a pathetic defeated slob GET. BACK. UP. YOU'RE NOT DONE WITH THIS. are you? show me your determination. show me your idiotic HOPE."

you look at them with confusion.

"why would you... ACK! "

you barely manage to dodge an incoming attack of red strings.

"less talking more dodging. you're slow. YOU'RE SO SLOW. START RUNNING." they grinned.
