Project 863 x Reader One Shots

Syphus x Reader: Protection

I look around the building as I'm led to a room where I was to sit and wait for someone to come in to talk to me. I had answered an ad I saw where a company needed volunteers for a project. I needed the money so I quickly agreed but now I was starting to regret my decision as we passed a series of medical equipment. The room I was put into was cold and too bright for my liking. I had been completely stripped of my clothes when I first got here and given a thin gown to wear so the tiles under my bare feet were ice cold. I crawled onto the bed that was sitting at the back of the room.

Doctors and Scientists flood in and out of the room for the next hour getting blood samples and checking my vitals. I press myself back into the corner of the room behind the bed to hopefully stay hidden from the next person who comes in. I am scared now. Scared of what I had gotten myself into and scared of what they were going to do to me. I watch with wide eyes as the door opens and someone who doesn't look like a doctor or a scientist walks in. I watch them scan the room before their eyes land on my shaking form in the corner.

I notice the needle in their hand causing me to try and scramble back into the corner more.

"No. No Please" I say quickly as tears stream down my face.

The man looks at me curiously before setting my needle down. He steps towards me slightly causing me to shrink back even more. He kneels down to my height. "I'm not gonna hurt you. See no needles. No serum" He says, holding his empty hands out for me to see.

I look up to see the needle on the counter on the other side of the room. I relax slightly, still tense and scared. "I wanna go home," I say softly

"Soon," The man says to me. "You can go home soon."

"Promise?" I ask looking up at him.

"I promise," He says to me.

I quickly jumped forward. I wrap my arms around his waist as I press my head to his chest. I felt safe for the first time since I got here. I feel the man tense up slightly before his arms gently wrap around my back.

"What's your name?" I ask softly.

"Nelson" He answers, causing me to tense.

"As in..." I start to ask.

"As in Nelson Syphus," He says to me.

"No. No. No" I say, starting to freak out. I pull away from him quickly. Nelson Syphus was a co-founder of this company. I shrink back into the corner now scared of him.

"I'm not gonna hurt you I promise," Nelson says to me.

"But you... You're the reason I'm here. I wanna go home. Please let me go home" I plead, tears streaming down my face.

"Okay. Let me see what I can do" Nelson says, getting up to leave the room.

"Thank you," I say softly.

Over the next few days, Nelson continued to take care of me. He would bring me food and made sure the scientist and doctors would leave me alone. I was currently munching on a sandwich Nelson had brought me a few minutes ago. He had said he would be back shortly.

"I don't know Wesley." I hear Nelson say outside my door. "I don't know why I care about her so much but seeing her the other day cowering in the corner really hurt me."

I moved so I could listen in better eavesdropping on the conversation.

"If you care about her so much then take her out of here" I hear another person say. I was assuming it was Wesley. "You have the authority to get her out of here."

"I know but how do I do that and keep up my facade here," Nelson asks.

Silence was heard for a bit until the other person spoke up again "Everyone should be in a meeting in 5 minutes. I will cover for you saying you have an appointment or something. Take her and get her out of here before anyone notices she's gone. You know she won't be able to have a normal life after this because she knows about this place."

"I'll have her stay with me, then," Nelson says.

A pair of footsteps fade away from the door before the door opens causing me to jump. Nelson walks inside looking at me. He shrugs his jacket off his shoulders and holds it out to me.

"Put this on. We're leaving" Nelson says.

I quickly grab the jacket and slide it on. It was big on me but it was comfortable. I hop off the bed and take the hand Nelson had held out for me to take. Nelson leads me through the building quietly looking around corners before dragging me to the door.

"Nelson," I whisper as we get to the door.

"Yes?" He asks, looking down at me.

I look down at my bare feet before looking outside. Nelson gets the idea, picking me up gently carrying me bridal style out of the building and to his car. He gently sets me in the passenger seat before getting in the driver's seat.

"Are you okay with staying with me for a bit?" He asks as he starts the car driving away from the building.

I nod looking out the window. Watching the building disappear behind us. I sigh in relief and relax in the seat of the car as Nelson drives. I curl up against the car door and gently drift off to sleep.

I wake up to Nelson picking me up gently. I wrap my arms around him tightly as he carries me into the house. He set me down gently now that I was awake.

"Welcome to my home. Come on let's go get cleaned up" Nelson says leading me up the stairs to a bathroom. "I'll let you have something to wear for now."

I nod as he leaves the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror. Bags were visible under my eyes and my hair looked like a rat's nest. I hold the jacket tightly around me as I look away from the mirror. Nelson comes back in with a shirt, pair of boxers, and a towel.

"Will this work?" He asks me, holding them out to me.

I nod "Thank you"

"Let me know if you need anything," Nelson says before leaving me to take a shower.

I take a long shower loving the feeling of the water running over my aching muscles. I soon get out and dry off. I changed into the clothes Nelson had provided, having to roll the waistband of the boxers to get them to fit properly. I walk out of the bathroom running my fingers through my hair.

"Nelson?" I called out.

Nelson quickly comes to me after calling him. "Feel better?" He asks, causing me to nod. "Good" He leads me to a guest room. "You can stay here if you would like. My room is across the hall"

I thank him as I walk into the room. He closes the door as he leaves. I walk around the room checking it out. I sit on the bed and lay down to attempt to sleep. When no sleep comes to me I get up and head out the door. I bite my lip as I put my hand on the doorknob of Nelson's room. I opened it up to see Nelson wasn't in the room. I could hear the shower running letting me know where he was. I walk over to the bed and climb onto it. I move the covers slightly sliding under them making myself comfortable. As soon as my head hits the pillows, I quickly start to fall asleep.

I hear the sound of footsteps coming towards the bed. The bed moves slightly before a pair of arms pulls me closer. I smile slightly as I throw my arm around Nelson who had crawled into bed next to me.

"I promise. No one will hurt you while I'm around" I hear him whisper to me before a kiss is pressed to my forehead.

I finally allow myself to drift off to sleep completely.
