Igniting A Flame (DTKxreader)

We had all finished dinner together downstairs, and now I sat in my room alone, with nothing to do and unable to sleep. For I don't know how long, I just laid in bed, tossing and turning. Eventually, I gave up, and accepted that I was going to be awake for the night.

Reluctantly, I sat up and looked around my room. Before this, I hadn't actually taken the time to take it in. Just glancing around, I could tell it was just as lavish as other parts of the house, still keeping to the white, gray, and black color scheme. On the wall opposite the bed, there was a set of drawers with a mirror on top, and opposite of the door there was a window covered by curtains.

I lifted myself out of bed, and walked over to the window, drawing back the curtains to look out onto Death City. It was just as lively at night as it was during the day. Across the entire city I could see lights dancing in the streets. I lost myself in the soft sounds of the public that reached the windows, and spent what felt like hours there, simply existing together yet separate with the society that kept moving below me.

Knock knock.

I jolted up, the sudden noise jerking me back into reality.

Knock knock.

Again.

"Come in," I called out, my voice a little shaky from slight shock.

The door opened, and Kid slipped through the crack he created, before closing the door behind him. "I guess I wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep," he laughed, although it was filled with exhaustion. "May I sit?"

I nodded, and Kid more like laid on my bed than sat on it. But that was fine with me. I went to lay beside him, tiredness possessing me as soon as my head touched the pillow. However, despite that, I managed to stay awake.

"Kid?"

He turned to me, a prompt to go on.

"Why are you here?"

Kid looked offended, as if I were attacking him for coming here. I was quick to clear it up.

"It's not a problem, of course. I was just curious."

His face showed relief, "Well, since I was still up I thought you might be too. And if we're both up we might as well be together." He grabbed my hand as the last words left his mouth. Was he flirting with me?

That was a stupid question. Of course he was, Y/N. It wasn't exactly a secret how he felt about me anymore.

But I was still caught between him and Tsubaki. I had to pick either God or Flower. Honestly, I wasn't ready to make my choice. I didn't want to say 'it's me and you' and the next minute be regretting my decision.

But I tricked myself into thinking that maybe, if just for tonight, it'd be okay to make a choice, even if I instantly went back to being in the middle of my feelings for the two tomorrow. I accepted Kid's hand in mine, and I could feel him relax as I did. He scooted closer to me, and my heart picked up pace.

"When is the anniversary party?" I asked, if only to break the silence.

"Oh, it's tomorrow."

Everything seemed to pause. Tomorrow was too soon.

Kid was the only thing outside of frozen time, "Y/N? Is everything alright?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I just...thought that it wouldn't be so soon. Glad I got a dress when I did."

"Yeah."

Then, we both stayed silent for a while, just laying in bed together holding hands. Every so often, one of us would turn to the other, as if we had something to say, but then go back, our words remaining unspoken.

"Kid?" My voice was soft, barely audible if you weren't listening for it.

"Yes, Y/N?" He replied, gentle and patient.

"Do you love me?" My words wavered, afraid of what he was going to say.

"Yes, I do. Do you love me, Y/N?"

I looked him in the eyes. I wanted to tell the truth, my mind screamed at me to be honest.

"Yes," I lied.

My heart tore itself apart.
