Love Game (Alice In Borderland×Reader Oneshots/Scenarios)

Smile [Kyuma Ginji]

Slayyy
I love making you hurt

Warnings: Swearing, death, angst

"(N/N)-Chan~ You should really be nicer to me," he whined, hugging you from behind. You rolled your eyes. "Fine," you said, turning around in his arms returning the embrace.

He shut his eyes, and just enjoyed the feeling of you in his arms. The quiet of the world. The tightness of your hug, your skin on his.

If this was the life he had chosen, he had chosen correctly.

________

Everytime he completed a game. At night, he would go to the highest point of his game arena and look for your blimp.

The Queen of Clubs.

Everynight, he looked out, longing for your embrace once more. Your smile, for your eyes to meet his own. Your laughter.

He longed to be near you.

Everyday was uncertainty. But as long as he knew you were alive, he was fine. You gave him strength.

"She's still good?"
"Yeah.... She's good."

__________

"You're the person I'd want to spend my last moments with," you whispered, playing with his hair. He smiled, his eyes meeting yours. "Our last moments should be spent with the ones we love the most. They should be spent regretting absolutely nothing. You still want to die with me?" He whispered back. You nodded yout head. "Wel... I don't want to die. But if... if I had to I would want it to be with you," you mumbled, hugging him.

If he hadn't known physical touch was his love language, he would have learned it with you. Your touch was like feathers of an angel brushing against his skin. He loved it.

His hand reached for your face, cupping it in his hands. "I would be dying with one regret... if I didn't do this," he whispered, kissing you softly. You kissed back, a smile on your face.

"Not kissing me would be your only regret?"
"Of course."

---------

He once more climbed to the top of the containers. In the middle of his game this time. Just because he felt he needed to. You gave him strength and this was one of the strongest groups he'd faced.

But there was another feeling. A feeling of darkeness, pressing down on his chest and shoulders. Heavy sadness. He didn't understand why. Today felt different.

But you were there. You were fine.

He knew you, he knew you were strong. You would be ok.

----------

"Yo, Mira look!!" You shouted, showing the woman that you had taught one of the other citizens how to do a cart wheel.

Everyone laughed together. "Enji, its your turn," you said threateningly towards the boy. He shook his head. Kyuma watched you drag him from his spot on the floor. "Come on... if Kyu can do it so can you," you pleaded with the boy. He kept trying to break away, but it was never enough.

"Fine fine fine," you mumbled, fixing his hair. The boy laughed. "Better go tell your boyfriend you love him. He might get jealous," Matsushita laughed as you helped him up. "Nah. Kyu!"

He looked over with a smile.

"I love you!"

He didn’t think his smile could get wider. But it did.

------
"Hey hey Jack of Hearts," you giggled, ruffling the boy's hair, using his newly acquired alias. He laughed. "He's waiting for you again by the way," he said. You nodded. "Stay safe kid. Remember... you're not always going to be the smartest in the room, yeah?" You said, a sad smile on your face. He nodded. "You too... you're worse than me somedays."

"King of Clubs," Kyuma informed you as you walked up behind him. You smiled. "What a coincidence. Queen of Clubs at your service," you said with a dramatic bow. He smiled, hugging you tightly. "You be safe. Don't be dumb. I'm looking forward to the next time I can see you," he whispered, kissing your forehead softly.

--------

His team was winning. So he climbed back up. To thank you. For giving him the strength and motivation to keep going. To keep playing, to keep winning.

He smiled at the sight of your blimp.

That smile was quickly wiped off his face when he saw the explosion. It head straight down, and he watched in shock.

Tears filled his eyes as he watched. (Y/N), his (Y/N)...

Was gone.

He went to the docks. To think. The be alone.

You were his only reason for his success in his mind.

That ballon was his only hope of seeing you once this was all over. Just like you two had promised.

Winning his game meant nothing now.

----------

You leaned your head on his shoulder, the other citizens talking amongst themselves.

"I'm excited for tomorrow. A bit nervous. But it is going to be ok. I know it," you whispered to him. He nodded. "Of course it will. We will be ok. And I promise when the players lose, we will see eachother again."

----------

Arisu had tricked him. But in a way, he was happy.

He had lived his life to the fullest. Until the very end. He had no regrets...

Except for one.

"And I shall die with no regrets. Except for one. That I broke my promise to her," he said, smiling at the other man. "Who? Arisu asked. "Queen of Clubs. (L/N) (Y/N). My one and only," he whispered. "Can I ask something of you Arisu?"

"Of course."

"Go to the Queen of Clubs arena... and even though she's not there.... you tell her I said... I love her, yeah?"

Arisu nodded. He felt like Kyuma was one of the most fair and kind people he had met so far. If only they had met in the real world.

Kyuma threw his head back, raising his arms, and awaited the laser.

And darkness.

Your smile was the last thing he thought of.

"Kyu... why are you crying?"

"Oh... (Y/N)... I thought... I thought I'd lost you."

"Well... you did for a bit. But we're here now, isn't that what matters? We're together... just like you promised."

Soooo... uhhhh... yay! Big sad, but kinda happy ending?
