Author's note for context: Based on the story of Mobius and Klein from Honkai Impact 3rd. Klein gets controlled by the Herrscher of Binding and, being Mobius' favourite assistant/person/theonlyonewhounderstandsher, manages to get close and kill her. Now this is lowkey based on a person headcanon that Mobius, being a crazy genius, couldn't have not noticed something was wrong DESPITE her feelings for Klein. Anywho I'm very in love with the mobiklein dynamic being "i kill you. You kill me. We will never be the same. You make a small robot with my face and we both achieve some kind of fucked up immortality together"

"You’re not very talkative today.”

“You always complain about needing silence to work.”

“And when have you listened to me? Is there anything that troubles you?”

“Is there anything that doesn’t trouble me in the era we’re living in?”

“No…I suppose there isn’t. But you’re not usually the one to overthink. Do you want my tea? It might lighten up your mood.”

“Thank you but I don’t think I can stomach anything right now.”

“I see.”

“...”

“...”

“Mr Khun.”

“...”

“Aguero.”

“Yes?”

“Do you think the end is near?”

“My scientific belief is that can not have such thoughts. If we accept defeat, then we have no chance of defeating the Honkai.”

“And your personal thoughts?”

“The Plagues were ten. The end has already come.”

“...”

“Bam. Please be direct with what you want.”

“I…want to live. I want all of us to live. I want to play card games with Rak, to go karaoke parties with Endorsi and Shibisu, to see Ehwa make edible food for once. I want to keep working with you without fearing that one day you’ll disappear.”

“Maybe you’ll disappear first.”

“I don’t mean it like that. I mean this.”

“This is the closest thing to immortality.”

“Until the final death comes.”

“I’ll have plenty of deaths before that.”

“This does not make it better!”

“...”

“I just want you to stay by my side. Safe.”

“Ah, here is the honestly.”

“My Aguero, please do not continue on this path. Please stop risking your life.”

“My life, huh? Is it that important to you?”

“Of course! It’s everything to me.”

“I’m sorry but this life is unimportant in the great scheme of things. If you wish for me to stop, then you must do something.”

“I’m begging you. Isn’t that enough?”

“No. But the knife you’re holding might do the trick.”

“...”

“Ha…you actually did it. God, that hurts. Couldn’t you aim a little higher?”

“I wanted it to be slow.”

“That’s fair.”

“Did you see through me, insect?”

“It’s not a very good disguise.”

“It’s him. It’s his deeper thoughts.”

“No, it’s not. His heart was, is, good. He knows what’s on the line. Sure, my life is on the line but it’s the only way we might get a better tomorrow.”

“Will you, though? He’s one of us now. And you? You’ll be a corpse soon.”

“Isn’t it poetic in a way? I have loved Bam for far too long, much more than he could ever know and now, thanks to you God I will forever be a part of him.”

“...”

“See you soon.”
