(Stanley and Xeno x reader) "Wha-" stumbling forward you managed to catch yourself from falling down on the ground and cake yourself in dirt. You groaned, closing your eyes in displeasure and rubbing the back of your sore neck. "Well, well, well. Dramatic as usual, aren't we, lieutenant?" ". . .kid?" Finding yourself accompanying a bunch of kids all the way from Japan to America wasn't definitely on your bucket list. Neither was ending up re meeting two people you haven't seen in thousands of years. Mc's gender is neutral.

"Sweetheart," His voice was low, an attempt at comforting you as he held your face. You turned away, flinching as his thumb ran circles on your cheek. "I'm not going to ever hurt you..." His voice was soft, but you knew better. God, you knew better. "I'm keeping you safe..." he murmured. "You make me feel ... like I'm getting better." "You'll be safe if you just stay with me..." Authors note: Chapters are written in long format, meaning this is going to read far more as a book. I update as much as I have time for, but in saying this, lots of editing and re-writing occurs and takes time. I take care in this story as it means a lot to me as a passion project and want it to be something I can be proud of. Thank you for understanding and I hope you all can enjoy this as much as I love writing it! -M
