Together, Always (TPN x reader fanfic)

Help

--Flashback--

After getting rid of the demon that was chasing them, the group decided to find a better place to rest. "That went pretty well!" Y/n cheerfully tells the man, the man let's out a sigh and raises his hand before lowering it back down. Y/n takes a second to realized what he tried to do, "Hm? wait a minute, did you just-?" "Nope." He quickly replies, cutting her off before turning his back on her and walking away.

"Don't worry, we'll be in the same page next time!" Y/n tells the man, "What are you talking 'bout?" He asks without looking at her, She tries not to laugh at the grown adult's behavior, "I'm sorry okay!" She says.

--End of flashback--

"Let's get going." The man tells the worn out kids. Three days had passed since they left the shelter and started their journey with the mysterious man. They were ambushed in the middle of the night which caused them to barely get any sleep that night or the night before. "Probably a stray from the pack, am I right? Good thing it was only one!" The man, who was rather in good shape and high spirits, cheerfully told the kids after getting rid of the demon which earned him an annoyed glare from Ray. The more challenges they faces successfully, the more failed high-five attempts pilled up.

'These kids are annoying... They are all battered up, but the light in their eyes is still shining. Makes me sick in the stomach... I feel like throwing up. Was it because of that dream this morning? It'll be over soon... I've already made up my mind. I just gotta pick the place. Which one should I kill..? Tomorrow, at Goldy Pond, I'm getting rid of you, The preparations are complete, I'll let death come to...' The man turns around to look at the three kids who were talking with each other. 'This one.'

"Look! We're already in A07-63!" Y/n says as she opens the pen that Emma handed to her. "Yeah! A08-63 is right up the corner! It seems like we'll get there sooner than we thought!" Emma cheers. Ray stared at the two girl with a small smile on his face, 'After that thing on the first day, that man hasn't pulled any more traps for two days now. He had many opportunities with Y/n bothering him daily. Did he give up? No, no way. He's been up to something, he's going to play his hand tomorrow at Goldy Pond for sure, he's probably been there before since he knows two paths that are not on the map..." Ray thought as the two girls spotted food. Emma headed for three lizards that were passing by and Y/n spotted a bunch of grapes.

"Raaay! Dinner is served!" Y/n sang while hugging him from behind, pulling the ravenette out of his thoughts causing him to smile at the happy girl. They both walked back towards Emma who seemed troubled, "How are we supposed to do a Gupna for a lizard?" Ray asked Emma who smiled sheepishly, "I was hoping you knew..." She replied. "Let's see, if you cut it normally... I read this on a book..." Y/n said as she followed her own words while Ray worked on the fire and Emma separated the Grapes.

Once they were finished, Y/n placed the lizards on three sticks and placed the near the fire for them to cook. Emma stares at the dark sky, "Phew, everyone is safe and sound." She says, Ray and Y/n look at her confused. "Huh?" "What do you mean?" They ask, "We're not all together right now, but Gilda and the others in the shelter... And Phil and the kids who stayed in the house. They are all probably in bed resting safely by now." Emma says, smiling to herself.

 Y/n let's out a 'ah' in understanding before speaking up. "Before we left, that Man asked me if our decision was the correct one. He didn't have to ask though... Before we even left the Shelter, I was already scared. 'Is this the correct choice?' 'What if this is a mistake?' 'Is it really a good idea to go to Goldy Pond alone?' 'Should I have dragged Phil along anyway?' And letting Norman... Have our choices been the right ones so far? But Mister told me last night, 'Looking at the past continuously is not called attachment, it's called stupidity'  It's not like we can fix our choices once we make them, but I'm still scared, 'The terror of seeing your ideals, your choices, kill your friends' That terror he mentioned, we know how heavy it is... But what would it be like if we lose everyone to our choices? I can't even imagine the horror, the pain of it. It took me some time, I even read a few books on phycology back in the Shelter, and observed him closely this passed days... I think I finally managed to solve Mister's puzzle, but now I only need him to let me place the last pieces. That's why I have to make this move." Y/n tells them before standing up and walking towards the man, ignoring Ray's protests.

  She spotted the man leaning against a tree and walked toward him, "Mister, I've decided, before tomorrow, let's have a good heart-to-heart conversation." She says, the man turns to look at her with a raised eyebrow, "You'll be my new Dad" She states. The man stays quiet for a few seconds

"The hell?"

 --Side scene--

"I'm hungry~" Emma whined, "Should we have lunch?" Y/n asks the man who simply turned around before replying, "Do whatever you want." He replies before walking away. Emma takes her backpack and hands over the food. "Thank you for the food." They say in unison, "Emma! You'll get sick if you eat too fast!" Y/n tells the girl who was rushing through her food, "Idiot, you'll choke!" Ray says, and just a few seconds later, just like he predicted, Emma choked on a piece of bread.

 "Wha- Ray go get her some water!!" Y/n tells the boy who does as told as she started patting Emma's back with certain force, Ray quickly handed her a mug of water and she drank it quickly. They all sweat dropped and stayed in silence for a few seconds before Ray began lecturing Emma who simply smiled and nodded sheepishly.

The man who was watching also sweat dropped, 'They're like Antenna's parents...'
