Wishful Dreams (Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Fanfic)

Hiiro holds up the gashat that Masamune gave him not too long ago. "I should be honest about my real orders. I have to destroy Parad."

"Why didn't you tell me that originally?" I am concerned about Parad's safety now. "Hiiro, why did you say-"

"Because I knew you would object to it. You don't want Emu to lose the ability to be Ex-Aid, so I hid it from you." We're in a fake relationship and he is hiding stuff from me. Feels like a real relationship now to me. 

"Why would you hide that from me though? Is it because you fear me getting in the way of your mission?" I look him, staring at his cold face, and he looks away. "Answer me, Hiiro!" 

Hiiro looks like he is a hot mess right now. He doesn't seem to be in the right mind. Masamune is making him do things he doesn't want to do.

"I didn't want you to run to his side and get into harm's way. Elk, you have to promise me that you won't do that." He steps closer to me and grabs my hands. "Please, don't run to his side and defend him! I don't want to hurt you because I have orders to harm you if you interfere." 

My eyes go wide. "No way..." Masamune is already expecting me to do things to betray him and have me tossed out the moment I do. 

"I don't want you to die at all. I don't want to lose my friend," Hiiro says, his eyes watering up a bit. "I am only doing this because Saki...I need her to come back. You have to understand that. I love her with all my heart and soul, which is why I have to do this all. I really don't want to take your life during this."

I swallow a bit. "Hiiro..." 

I understand the fear he has in dealing with Parad when I'm around him. I know Emu can defend himself for sure, but Parad can get a bit too cocky and lose it. Parad may be a good gamer, but he's not on Emu's level in my opinion. Emu thinks carefully about his moves and what to do next. Parad sort of thinks and sort of doesn't think. 

"Emu is going to be with him. I have the reports from Masamune about the sighting of Parad with someone." Right...people still report which Bugster needs to be beaten in order to beat this game. 

"Emu..." I can't even run to his side and hug him to death. "Fine. Do what you can, but I don't expect you to be able to do much."

He lets go off my hands, which are surprisingly quite cool, and nods slowly. "Alright, let's get going to see what they are up to."

I guess I'm going to see what he is up to.

"Parad, I have orders from Masamune to discontinue you," Hiiro says, moving forward towards the three beings in front of him. One is a Bugster, the other is my true love, and the last one is Parad. 

"Hiiro-san?" Emu is confused about why he's here, but I don't blame him. It isn't like I can openly communicate with him while I'm at Masamune's company. "Wait...is that Elkie over there?"

I hold up a hand, waving at them. "I'm here to make sure that Hiiro completes his orders. I'm afraid it is going to be a Game Over for you all one day." I look at Parad. I hope he knows that I am just playing along. 

Parad turns, his suit moving with him, and he looks our way. "Give it up, Hiiro," he states, bossing Hiiro around. "You cannot beat me." Parad is going to be hard to face. 

Hiiro reaches into his pocket and holds up his fancy gashat Masamune gave him. "I have the power to do so."

"What in the world is that gashat?" Right...he hasn't seen it, right? Neither have I. At least not in battle.
