~(Y/n)'s POV~

"Complete your mission, (Y/n)," Cor said and left me to myself. I sigh and open a drawer in my dresser. I pulled out my mask I always wore during missions to hide my face.

"Time to head out." I gently put my mask on and pull my (h/c) hair into a ponytail. I grabbed my twin blades and headed to Altissia. In a matter of a few days, I reached the city and kept my mask on. Of course I got strange looks as I walked the streets of the beautiful city. According to Cor, I'm here to kill someone who's targeting Lady Lunafreya. I arrive at the palace and ask to see Lady Lunafreya. The guards aren't letting me through and I sigh. I pull out a document that was signed by Cor himself. Once they saw his signature, they lead me to her room.

I knock gently and I hear her soft voice from the other side. I open the door slowly and greet her properly. "Ah, I've heard of your arrival. Most of Altissia is talking about the mysterious girl in the mask." Lady Lunafreya smiles gently and I remove my mask. "(Y/n)?" Her eyes grow wide and I smile at her. "Hi, Luna. It's been awhile." She ran over to me and grabbed my hands. "It's been six years since I've seen you. Is everything alright?" I nodded and smiled to reassure her and she sighed in relief.

"I've been receiving threats for the past week. Noctis and the others will be here shortly. They requested that they should also be here for my safety," she said. I gasped and dropped my mask. I scramble to pick it up and hold it close to my chest. Luna started to giggle and my face heated up. "You'll be able to see Gladiolus again. I'm positive he will be more that happy to see you." My blush deepened and I try to hide my embarrassment. A knock on the door snaps us back to the real world and I put my mask back on. "Lady Lunafreya, Prince Noctis has arrived," the servant said through the door. "Shall we go?" Luna asked. I nodded and we left her room.

I walk behind Luna as we head to the front doors to greet Noctis and the others. Once we arrive, Luna greets them all and I stay silent. Gladio's eyes met mine and he stared at me as if he knew who I was. "Who's the girl in the mask?" Prompto asked. "She's an assassin who was sent by Cor. She'll be with me the whole time until the threats stop," Luna replied. Gladio kept staring at me and I felt my blush returning. Thank goodness I was wearing a mask. "Cool~!" Prompto chirps. "Does she have a name?" Gladio asked. Luna shook her head and glanced at me. "She's been quiet the whole time. I don't know her name," she replies softly. I thank her in my mind and mentally sigh in relief.

"Let's head to the garden. We can all talk in peace there," Luna said. I follow closely behind her and the others tow closely behind me. We reach the beautiful garden and sit at a table that sat all of us. I refused to sit down and stood next to Luna. "Please, sit down." Luna looked over her shoulder at me with a smile. "I'm sorry, Lady Lunafreya. I must be on guard at all times," I answer coolly. She looked sad at my response and tore her eyes away from me. 'I'm sorry, Luna' I apologize mentally. "If I may," Gladio speaks up. Luna smiled and told him to continue.

"Have you heard anything from (Y/n)?" He asked. My eyes grew wide in shock. "Yeah! We haven't seen her in years!" Prompto announces. I felt my heart clench in pain. I looked away and ignored the rest of the conversation. A cool breeze snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked around the garden. "What's wrong?" Noctis asked. I stalked around the garden and heard rustling from a bush near Luna. I ran towards her and pushed her out of the way. A man jumped out and slashed in her direction. I pushed her towards Noctis and took the hit. The sword cut my mask in half and it fell to the ground. I pulled out one of my twin blades and stabbed the man through the chest. He crumpled to the ground in a pool of his own blood and stopped breathing.

"Are you alright?" Ignis asked. I nodded and didn't face them. I picked up my broken mask and sighed. "Well, so much for hiding my face..." I mumble. "(Y/n)?" I heard Gladio call my name. I turn and smile sadly at him. "Hey, Gladio," I greet. His eyes grow wide in shock and he runs over to me. He wraps his arms around me and holds me close to his chest. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"I... Didn't want to make your job harder. I kept the mask on to hide my face from you and the others because Cor ordered me to do so."

"Why would he order something so damn ridiculous?"

"You'll have to ask him," I laugh. He chuckled deeply and ran a warm and gentle hand through my (h/c) hair. Suddenly I felt something warm running down my face. "(Y/n), you're bleeding!" Luna said worriedly. Gladio immediately broke the hug and looked down at me with worry. "We need to patch you up."

"There's a medical kit in the room I'm staying in," I said. Gladio nods and picks me up in his arms. I quickly wrap my arms around his neck so I wouldn't fall. While in his arms, I give him directions to my room. Once we enter the room, he sets me gently down on the bed and finds the medical kit with ease. Gladio kneeled in front of me and began wiping the blood away with a cloth. Next, he put alcohol on another clean cloth and stared into my (e/c) eyes. "This is going to sting." I gave him the thumbs up and he began cleaning the wound. Once the alcohol made contact with the cut, I shrieked in pain and grabbed on to his free hand. He took my hand in his and held it to comfort me. After cleaning the wound, he kissed my forehead and smiled gently at me.

"There, all better," he said. I giggle and steal a kiss from him. A grin finds its way to his lips and I swallow hard. "Let's see if you have any more cuts I need to tend to." His grin grew wider as he pushed me down on the bed. Gladio hovered above me and I began blushing. He pinned my arms above my head with one hand and used the other to explore my body. He reached for my shirt and lifted it to reveal my stomach. Gladio began kissing my stomach and I flinched every time he gently laid his warm lips on my skin. "G-Gladio, I-I'm fine. I-I don't have anymore injuries." He chuckled at me and began kissing my stomach again. "I know you're ticklish here," he said.

"Y-you're so mean..." I mumble. He continues to laugh and strokes my sides which makes me squirm under him. "I love you too, (Y/n)." He sealed his lips with mine and explored my mouth. Gladio pulled away and I gasped for air. "I swear you're going to be the death of me," I say. He freed my arms and I wrapped them around his neck. I pulled him down and kissed him even deeper than before. We both pull away and grin at each other. Suddenly a knock came form the door and we heard Prompto yelling at us. We both began laughing and couldn't help ourselves. Gladio helped me up and we straightened our clothes. "You better be prepared for tonight," Gladio whispered in my ear. My eyes grew wide and red took over my cheeks. He grabbed my hand and we left.
