Too Close For Comfort

After a while, they were seen sitting on a grassy plain outside the park and Loona lied down.

Loona: Phew. Okay, I'll admit it. That was very fun! Best fun I've had in my life.

Y/N: Glad you had fun, Loona. *smiles*

Loona: I did. And I'll admit, there were times where I was skeptical about the shit you were about to pull, but I guess I was just defensive. Thanks for not taking advantage of me.

Y/N: You kidding? Why would I do that? I would never do that to you. I told you so.

Loona: I know that. ... Look, Y/N... *sits up* I'm sorry for not trusting you. It's just that... I've been through so much in the orphanage. Abuse, neglect, blame, you name it. Watching people get adopted while you're the unlucky one... really hurts. Makes you feel pathetic and shitty.

Y/N: ...

Loona: There were times... I got adopted by a few people, but... They all end up with me going back to the orphanage because of numerous reasons. I've been rejected countless times.

Y/N: ... So, what's your point?

Loona: After everything I've been through, I've kept my distance from everyone. And every time people try to talk to me, I get...

Y/N: Violent and start acting out? Get defensive and push people away to the point they can't do anything to you?

Loona: *eyes widen & looks at Y/N* How'd you-

Y/N: Because I've been through the same thing. Even though I met BF/N, I've... tried to be more out there in the public. I tried to be myself around them, but they push me away or swear me off. In a way, it was as if they're telling me to... be ashamed of myself and stop being so weak and pathetic.

Loona: ...

Y/N: So, that's what I did. I became strict and impatient. I tried to get involved with whatever's going on, but no luck. And so, it causes me to get pissed off and swear them off because they're a bunch of assholes! I didn't do anything to deserve that, and yet, they chose to do so, anyway. It's fucking stupid and pointless! Why do people like them get away with everything and those like me and you end up being blamed for everything because nice people finish last? It's bullshit!

Loona: Y/N...

Y/N: *sighs* The last time I applied for a job was a few days ago. After that, that was the final straw. ... My previous boss always said that I'll never amount to anything in this life.

Loona: *gasps softly*

Y/N: After what happened... I... almost believed he was right. Since then, I've continued to be so hard on myself and punish myself for being so worthless and pathetic, but nothing I did worked.

Loona: Y/N... I get how that feels, but you shouldn't be saying that stuff to yourself.

Y/N: Why not? People always says shit like that!

Loona: So? That doesn't mean that they're right. Look, before I got adopted by Blitzø, I was on the verge of feeling hopeless. That I'll end up on the streets. Blitzø... adopted me when nobody else would. And this time... He didn't turn me in or mistreated me. Even though he treats me like a fucking child... *smiles softly* He called me family. He had my back in everything. Well, except for being able to have friends. Or at least meet with guys I like.

Y/N: *chuckles* And that's caused you to go behind his back?

Loona: More or less. He's an idiot. He doesn't understand much, but... He's trying.

Y/N: If you know that, then... Why do you push him away?

Loona: Because he doesn't understand me, at all.

Y/N: Well, neither do you to him.

Loona: ...

Y/N: ...

They stayed silent for a moment as the heat was up, but after a while, it died down and Y/N sighed.

Y/N: ... But, for what it is worth, I hope that you and Blitzø come to an understanding. If you and Blitzø want to have a dedicated father-daughter relationship, you both need to open up to each other and tell one another what's going on before it's too late.

Loona: Too late for what?

Y/N: ... For when you two aren't there for each other. ... Same as me and BF/N and my parents. My parents always works hard to provide everything while I enjoy the time I have. They try to hide it, but they're struggling with so much. I-I had to do something.

Loona: ... So, that's why you wanted to apply for a job. You didn't want him to suffer, alone. Like you and I did.

Y/N: Every time I see them work, I'm reminded of how much they've done for me. I didn't want to do that to them, so me and BF/N agreed to look for a job, but nothing.

Loona: ... *eyes widen in realization & looks at Y/N* Y/N... Is that why you encourage the words of so many people whenever you fail to follow through with anything in your life?

Y/N: ... *nods*

For the first time in her life, Loona has felt guilt and sympathy for someone. And it was for a young human male named Y/N. At this point, neither of them could say anything, especially after opening themselves up to each other like that. Neither of them has ever talked that way then they did to each other.

Y/N: ... But...

Loona: Huh?

Y/N: ... When I met you... something felt different for me. I was... putting in hope that you weren't like everyone else. And so far... You weren't.

Loona: You were skeptical towards me? Why?

Y/N: Hehehehehe. I already told you. Because I thought you were like everyone else, but... I was willing to still try, even if... I end up being talked down on. And if it makes you feel better... After what happened recently... I... feel better knowing a lot about you. What about you?

Loona: *looks away* ...

Y/N: Was I... what you thought I was?

Loona: ... N-No... So far, you... never went against my judgement. And at times when you touched me, you asked me for permission. I admit that I was defensive and hard-hearted, but... The way you asked... You never showed any signs of carnal fascination or anything like that. My dad thinks that... you people are all the same...

Y/N: ... *chuckles* Sounds like he doesn't know much about people like me...

Loona: *laughs* Yeah. ... Hey, I don't regret having you as my friend, but... Why? Why did you want to be my friend? You and I only share shitty childhoods. What else is similar?

Y/N: ... Well, we've both been through Hell since childhood. We're both skeptical towards everything. And we're both struggling in a dog-eat-dog world.

Loona: ... So?

Y/N: I feel like I finally found someone who shares the same kind of pain I've felt, even though we both have different ways of expressing it. Plus... You looked like you could use a friend.

Loona: *chuckles* And what's that supposed to mean?

Y/N: I could tell by your expressions and gestures... that you're lonely. Well, so am I, even though BF/N is my best friend and I'm with my parents.

Loona: ...

Y/N: I... I hope that this experience has helped you with your judgement.

Loona: I-It has...

Y/N: ... Why do I sense a "but"?

Loona: Because... You're the only one who sees me the way you do. Nobody else does it like you do. Speaking of which, why don't you wanna fuck me? Do I not look hot?

Y/N: What? Loona, you kidding? You're so fucking beautiful. And... sexy, honestly, but even so, I'd never bring myself to wanna desire something so stupid and mindless. It's not right. Look, Loona, there's no denying that you're indescribably hot and pretty, but I'm saying that because it's the truth. A compliment. Not in a perverted way or anything.

Loona: *eyes widen & blushes*

Y/N: Loona, when I give a compliment, it's an honest and heartfelt one. I like you, but not enough to wanna fuck you.

Loona: You sure about that?

Y/N: Heh. You don't see my dick getting hard for you, do you?

Loona: ... No. I guess not. ... So, is everyone else like you or no?

Y/N: *chuckles* Not sure you should be asking me about that. You'll have to see for yourself.

Loona: ... Right.

Y/N: ... *stands up & stretches* Welp, let's head back to BF/N. Knowing him, he's probably already eaten my food, but I don't care, anymore. Shall we?

Loona looked at Y/N as he held his hand out to her, but before she could grab it, she was grabbed from behind by a man with a gun.

Man: Nobody! Move!

Y/N: Loona!

Man: Loona? That's what your name is, baby? What a cutie you are.

Y/N: Hey, asshole! Let her go!

Man: What? You her boyfriend or something?

Y/N: No! She's my friend! And she doesn't like it when people like you grab her from behind like that!

Man: Good. I like babes like your friend, here.

Y/N: I said, let her go!

Man: *points gun at Y/N* I wouldn't do that, if I were you. I'm taking your friend and we'll be... "hanging around". You do anything funny and I'll bust your balls!

Y/N: Grr! ... *smirks* Heh. It's not me you should be worried about. Loona, you know what to do.

Loona: What?

Y/N: Come on. You're telling me that you don't know how to get yourself out of there?

Loona's eyes widen in realization until she slammed her foot against the man's, causing him to yell out. She then elbowed his face and grabbed him by the neck and slammed him to the ground, causing the guy to accidentally shoot himself.

Y/N: Holy shit! That was intense!

Loona: ...

Y/N: You good, Loona?

Loona: Tch. Spare me the ass-kissing.

Y/N: Hey, I knew you could handle him. Besides, I gave him the opening for you to do something.

Loona: ...

Y/N: Did you need my help or no?

Loona: ... *sighs* No. I had him.

Y/N: There you go. Now, shall we head back?

Loona was about to answer until she saw some familiar shadows behind her.

Loona: No, you go on ahead. I've been out here long enough.

Y/N: You sure?

Loona: Yeah. Blitzø won't like it when he finds out I've been out late.

Y/N: R-Right. Will I see you again?

Loona: U-Umm... Y'know what? Sure. I'll see you tomorrow.

Y/N: *smiles softly* Cool. ... *eyes widen* Wait, before we forget, you wanna exchange phone numbers with each other? That way we can keep in contact with each other, no matter what.

Loona: ...

Y/N: So, is that a yes or...?

Loona: ... S-Sure. I don't mind, I guess.

Y/N: Cool.

They went ahead and exchanged each other's phone numbers to each other and even took pictures for their contact photos.

Loona: ... Hey, Y/N? Thanks... for everything, today. I've had fun.

Y/N: Me, too. See you tomorrow.

He runs off and Loona looks around to see the shadows, again, gesturing her to grab the man and bring him there. Loona did so and dropped her disguise.

Blitzø: Where the fuck have you been, Loonie?! I've been trying to call you!

Loona: I've had my phone turn off, Blitzø.

Blitzø: You never turn off your phone! You're on it all the fucking time! What were you doing?

Loona: Not your fucking business!

Blitzø: It is my business when it involves my daughter being sexually harassed by a stupid human! When it involves your safety!

Loona: *eye roll* Whatever. What are you guys doing here?

Moxxie: We've been tracking this guy for hours. We got a call from a client telling us about our guy and how to kill him, but as always, you fuck everything up!

Loona: Don't blame me for your failings, fatty! It's your fucking fault!

Blitzø: Yeah, Moxxie. Don't blame your fuck-ups on my daughter. She didn't do anything wrong.

Moxxie: Are you kidding me, sir? She's-

Loona: Finish that sentence and I'll feed your carcass to the hell hogs, fatty! *snarling* Besides, I had it under control.

Blitzø: Sure, you did. And I appreciate you. Now, how did the client want him dead?

As they talked, Loona looked to her left and sighed as Y/N came into her mind. Her expression softened as her arms were crossed and for some reason, her ears fell down as if she already missed him. She sighed and turned her attention to the others as she mumbled Y/N's name under her breath. Meanwhile, Y/N was able to catch up to BF/N.

BF/N: Sure took your damn time. I was about to eat your food, but it's already gotten cold.

Y/N: Well, I can always heat it up or I can eat it where it is. But, I'm hungry, so why not eat it as it is, now.

He went to eating, but he shared some food for BF/N. They ate before they headed back to the house.
