Duplication of Being (Days Union x Reader)

[Dont Fall]

Unstable uses he/they pronouns in this fanfic.

"..What does it say ..?" You try hesitantly.

He crumples it up

"Nothing I don't already know."

The walk back was silent, your question still being left unanswered. Thankfully it didn't last that long as Radiant started chattering away at you.

"So does that mean I won?" He asked. You scoffed, annoyed but secretly happy the painfully silent walk was over. "As if, you won't even let me see what was written. Was all that just an act?"
Radiant smiles, tugging back a grin a bit too widely. "Ah ha ha, either way you could say it was quite the *radiant*- (He winks.)- Performance, so I should at least get some points from my beloved audience" He wiggles his eyebrows at you. You decide to play along.

"Very well then, my most wondrous actor, thee, (thy?), was quite the brilliant performance, and so you deserve-rest some
Point-eth." You continued your praise with more made up words. You could picture an English teacher shaking his head at you with disappointment. But Radiant was thoroughly amused.

"So, you will be joining the Union then?" He paused, a sort of more cautious tone. You sighed. "Yeah yeah, I'll need to pay my rent somehow." Your house was a couple of feet away.

The night was growing darker. You yawn, covering your hand on your mouth. Radiant notices, "Must be tiring being that pretty". A cheeky smile on his face.

You were facing the door now, unlocking it you then turned around to look at Radiant, still holding that teasing smirk. You decide that you don't want to be the only one being teased tonight.

"Well if thats how that works" Slightly tugging at his shirt, you lean into his ear. "you must be exhausted all the time".

You stick out your tongue, winking. Closing the door, you watch as the sunny operative widens his eyes and flushes, face blooming red. A sort of mischievous satisfaction warmed in your chest, before the after-embarrassment rushed in. When you walked back to your room you screamed into your pillow. You wiped your sweaty hands on the blanket.

Why did you do that? Aren't you already having a thing with Benevolent?? Are dating operatives even legal???

If you think about it, you can excuse those things with the two jovial operatives as being platonic. You'll clear things up with Radiant and tell him that it was just a joke and that you wanted to get back at him for constantly teasing you. With Benevolent..

Well, you'll think about this later. For now you needed sleep.

An alarm rings.

Specifically the alarm you put in three days ago to get you ready for a special day. A special day of... what?

You rub at your eyes, snoozing the alarm on your phone as you settled back in your bed dozing off again.

You try to remember what you had to do on this "special" day.

Special day....special day.............. !!!

Your eyes open as you jump out of bed, falling off and scattering the blankets and pillows with you.

YOU WERE MEETING UP WITH THE SUPREME LEADER.

You zoom into the bathroom to wash up for the day. You even take a shower to make sure you looked like a proper responsible adult. Coming out of the shower, you tie a towel around you as you scramble for the hairdryer. The heat from the air blowing on your hair warms you up as the cold air of the bathroom cools your body.

You go back to your room to dress up in your civilian uniform, leaving out the cardigan this time.

You hear a knock on the door. Quickly grabbing a hair clip you rush to the door, with your phone.

This time a blue uniformed operative meets you. He waves his hand excessively at you and smiles wide, showing off his sharp teeth.
"HELLO!!! Name is Unstable Day. Here to pick you up for Supreme Leader!!" He grabs your hand and you both practically run out the streets.

Well more so that Unstable ran and you were being dragged around by the hand.

You were now on District 3, known as the poorest district in the Days City. He's let go of your hand now, saying that there is only one path to go from here and you won't get lost.

This is where you would end up soon if you did not pay your rent. The last time you checked the box for money there was only 5 dollars and a couple of coins left. You counted them all, which left you a total of $6.72.

The small and old bridge beneath you shakes and rattles as you carefully follow the foothold of Operative Unstable. You turn to look at the grim huts, frowning at the view of them all crowded together as if trying to huddle for warmth. You sweat at the sight and turn back to avoid the growing anxiety in your chest.

It was a wonder why Great Day decided to live in such a place.

As if reading your mind, Unstable Day replied "Supreme Leader lives here, wants to avoid CIVILIANS. Have some PRIVACY." His voice shifted between volumes, it echoes through the abyss below you. He walks confidently and easily, seemingly not minding the rattling noises of the old bridge.

You felt the cold breeze from below you, and you felt a bit unsteady on your legs. Stilling every time the bridge shifted a little, you were walking extremely slowly. As you lifted your gaze from the endless void below you noticed the growing distance between you and the operative. You took a step and completely froze when you felt a stronger breeze as the "unstable" bridge shakes. They was getting farther and farther without noticing you.

A pebble from the bridge slid and fell and you counted the seconds, minutes, before you heard a "plonk" of it dropping into some sort of puddle or stream.

Now an even stronger breeze, a gust of wind shakes the bridge and you pathetically went down on your knees, legs shaking too much to keep your balance. You were so terrified in the moment you were pretty much at the verge of tears. You tried to avoid before hand to ask for help because you worried about how weak it made you look when you were able to be recruited to work in the Days Union. But now, desperately.

"HELLPPPP".

You were literally too terrified to internally comment on how ashamed you felt.

You shut your eyes as tears streamed down your face. You fisted up the rotten wood and rope of the bridge as you tried counting the seconds that passed to calm you down...

....You heard footsteps rushing back and felt a hand grab yours. They pulled at your hand to get you to stand up but you wouldn't bulge, you were practically glued to the floor. You heard a sigh from the operative and they picked you up. A hand on your back and the other one going under your legs to pick you up.

You felt the motion of walking as you bounced up and down in his arms. You had your face buried in their shoulder, both too scared to see what was happening and embarrassed to be seen and heard crying.

After a few moments the rhythm of walking lulled you enough to calm you down. You stopped crying and looked up to see a building coming closer and closer.

You turned around to look at the operative, now that you have calmed down you felt amazed at how easily he can carry you. Not even a drop of sweat! You leaned over to whisper "sorrythankyou". You returned your face back into their shoulder.

You hear a beating sound increase in speed before slowing back down.
