Alive (Pit x Reader x Dark Pit)

Chapter 17: Right

"Pit, something's wrong," You said, tightening your grip and closing your eyes. You braced yourself.

"Hmm? What's-" Suddenly something slammed into the two of you. The force was enough for you to be knocked from Pit's grip and you fell from the sky. You screamed as you fell fast, wondering what had just occurred.

"Pit!!! Help!!" You screamed, noticing that ground was approaching fast.

"Y/N!"

Pit nosedived to catch up to you and you reached your hands out. He grabbed both your hands and extended his wings, slowing the fast descent. After a couple of seconds, the decent was much slower as Pit gently set you on flat ground.

"Are you alright?" Pit asked, checking you over. "You're not hurt, are you?"

"I'm fine, just a little shaken," You said, trying to regain your composure. What hit you? You looked around and noticed that you had both landed in a garden of some sort. "Where are we?"

"This is part of Viridi's temple. We're in the garden area," Pit explained.

It was a beautiful site to see. Flowers bloomed in an orderly fashion, giving the garden an almost perfect feel. The grass was perfectly green, and a fountain sat neatly in the middle. You moved over to admire the roses, noticing that they came in many colors.

"These roses are purple!" You exclaimed, reaching out to touch one.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you!" You heard a voice say. You turned to notice that Phosphora was a few feet behind you, standing right next to Pit.

"Phosphora?!" Pit exclaimed, jumping a little and drawing his weapon. "When did you get here!"

"Just now," Phosphora said, rubbing Pit's head. "We're allies. There's no need to fight. Hey, is that your girlfriend?"

Phosphora pointed at you and Pit's cheeks flared red.

"W-Wha?!? W-What are you talking about!" Pit exclaimed.

"Aww! You're so cute when you're blushing~" Phosphora teased.

"I am NOT blushing!" Pit said.

"Oh but you are. You didn't answer my question either," Phosphora said, making her way over to you. She draped her arm over your shoulder and leaned in close.

"Hey, no hard feelings Y/N. Let's start off with a clean slate," Phosphora whispered.

"Right," You murmured.

"Enough Phosphora," You heard Viridi say, making her presence known. "I could honestly care less about Pit's love life."

"Right. Sorry," Phosphora said, moving back over to Pit. Viridi walked over and looked up at you. Her expression was unreadable.

"Hello human. You belong to Palutena, correct?"

"Hello Viridi," You said, smiling a little. "I belong to myself. These roses are very pretty."

"These roses signify an intense feeling of enchantment. People often give purple roses as gifts when they experience love at first sight. Hmph. Humans are such odd, vile creatures," Viridi explained, her hands brushing against the petals.

"Well I wouldn't consider myself vile. Palutena said you wanted to meet me?" You asked.

"Yes, I wanted to see what was so special about you. Palutena wouldn't adopt just any human," Viridi said, while poking you. "You're so fragile. Phosphora could snap you in two."

Well that was reassuring.

"Viridi, what do you want?" Pit asked, moving over to you.

"...I wanted to speak to Y/N in private. But knowing you would tag along sounded like a recipe for disaster. So, I brought you a playmate."
