ACE (Jeff X Reader) ~The Death Card

                                                             ♡＾▽＾♡        

As the girl spoken those three words, the expression of Jeff's face immediately darkened. Once he glanced back at the girl, his eyes glared with the most hatred in them, making the girl flinch. 

"You made me kill him.." He whispered with the most venom in his voice.

"W-What do you mean?" The girl asked, her voice shook with fear.

"You made me kill him.. You made me kill everybody I loved.." He whispered, wrapped in his heavy dark thoughts.

"Jeff..?" The girl slowly reached an arm out to him, which seem to shake Jeff out of his thoughts.

Jeff shook his head, emerging himself out of his thoughts. "That's enough questions." He said.

The girl's eyes wandered towards Jeff's eyes, narrowing her eyes. 

"Jeff, look. I know you're mad at me for moving away, and I'm sorry." The girl explained.

Jeff cut the girl off of her sentence by slamming his fist into the wall. "Sorry doesn't fix anything." He hissed.

Soon the girl could hear a soft drip and her eyes made their way towards the pavement floor, which was now covered with a tiny puddle of blood. The girl widened her eyes at Jeff's hand, which was smeared with his blood, and cracks of walls were covered on it. 

"Jeff.." The girl whispered.

Jeff shook his head in pain and clutched his fist. "Just.. Don't talk about him.." 

The girl looked closely at Jeff's face with amazement. Her mouth was agape wide with surprise and shock at the same time as she realized something she never knew could happen.

Jeff was crying.

Yes, Jeff was standing there, head low and clutching his bloody fist, tears dripping down his face. Suddenly, he began to feel weak and dropped onto both hands and knees shaking his head.

"Why did I kill him?" He said in a painful soft whisper. "Why?"

At that point, the girl didn't mind Jeff anymore. This was the Jeff she knew. The Jeff she had been friends for since they were children. Despite the chains that were pulling at the girl, she wrapped her arms around Jeff, hugging him tightly.

Jeff flinched, but didn't move. He let himself be wrapped around the content of longing love he had never felt for years. Tears wet the girl's dirty clothing, but she didn't mind. She slowly whispered, stroking Jeff's hair softly, "I'm sorry. I should've saved you from yourself. I should've never moved." She whispered softly. "I should've stayed with you."

This made Jeff cry harder, gripping the girl's clothing tightly like when he did with his brother, Liu. Memories suddenly flashed into Jeff's mind. Emotions, were filling in Jeff's heart. The burning sensation in his heart that wanted love. 

Jeff stopped crying and wiped the tears off of his face, though his unblinking eyes were starting to dry off the tears away. The girl sat back down and slowly rubbed her bleeding wrists that were cut from the chains. The sudden reaction made Jeff look down at her wrists, which the girl quickly covered away.

"Jeff.." The girl whispered.

"Are you hurt?" Jeff asked, which surprised the girl.

"What about you?" The girl asked, her eyes shining with confusion. 

Jeff shielded his bloody hand behind his back. "I'm fine," He reassured. He then moved his hands towards the girl's wrists, but she quickly moved them away. Jeff glanced at her with an inquiring look of confusion.

"Not unless I treat you first." The girl responded. "Releasing me from the chains would cut some slack for my pressured wrists." 

Jeff shook his head in his normal attitude. "I guess I can't argue with that can I?"

For once, the girl let out a tiny smile. "Nope."

Jeff got up and let out a loud sigh. "You'll try to escape, won't you?" He asked, like almost he already had knew what was going to happen.

The girl gave Jeff a hard stare. "I already said I wouldn't leave you. Don't you trust me?" The girl asked.

Jeff shook his head slowly. "Not right away. You'll need to earn my trust first." 

"Then what do I need to do?" The girl asked.

Jeff leaned down to her face. He started stroking the girl's hair as he let out a low whisper. "You'll have to answer my question tomorrow."

The girl shivered and thought about it for a few moments before gathering up her courage to speak up to Jeff, "I'll do it."

Jeff let out a smirk and pulled out a tiny rusty key from his pocket. "Enter this game," He said. He slowly clicked each chain off of the girl's limbs, winding them right and left until it broke off. "And show me no mercy." He finished.

Once the girl was free from the chains she immediately began rubbing her red cut wrists, and saw the blood beginning to flow back into her arms, the white pale skin slowly regulating from blood, turning it into a normal peachy color.

"Stand up." Jeff ordered. The girl obeyed, slowly standing up and stumbling after a few steps, but slowly started walking normally as she followed Jeff out of the dark cold room. "Don't try to do anything silly." Jeff warned, walking forward. The girl was following him close. "I wont." She promised.

They both reached the bathroom and the girl was standing near the doorway as she watched Jeff open a cabinet in front of him and pulled out a first aid kit box. He then looked at the girl and without warning, tossed it at her. The girl, with quick reflexes quickly snatched the box and stumbled a few steps backwards.

"Good reflexes, I see." Jeff nodded, looking at her. Suddenly Jeff pointed a finger at the girl, which she looked at the finger with confused eyes before Jeff gave her a hint as he nodded, "Walk." 

The girl, embarassed quickly turned away and started marching towards the cold dark room. Before she reached the room, she was then stopped by Jeff. "Hold up. Wait here. I forgot to bring something." He then turned around but then after a few steps, he flashed a glance at the girl. "Don't try to do anything stupid."

The girl nodded. "I won't." 

A few moments passed and the girl felt the box was beginning to grow heavier, her weak arms were about to give out. Surely he wouldn't mind. The girl thought. She set the first aid kit box down and stretched her arms, just noticing how much they ached.

Then, something caught her eye. She stopped mid-way of her stretching and tilted her head to get a peek inside the opposite room she was imprisoned in. Something was shining, a glow from the room. Unsure, the girl looked left and right, watching for any signs of Jeff, but he wasn't nowhere to be seen.

Quickly, the girl paced forward into the room and looked around for the glowing object. She spotted what she was looking for, a tiny picture frame. As she stepped closer, she saw that there were two people in it. The old Jeff and the undead Liu, standing beside each other, smiling underneath the bright shining sun.

The girl let out a tiny smile as she remembered the old memories. She rubbed the glass framed picture with her holding thumb and sighed. "Boy, do I wonder.." 

She set down the picture frame and stared at it one more time before turning her head, face to face with Jeff. His eyes were staring at her, motionless and cold. 

"J-Jeff.." The girl stammered. "It's not what it looks like." The girl said, shaking her hands as she stepped backwards.

Jeff stepped forward, still not saying anything. The more Jeff stepped closer, the more the girl stepped backwards, until she felt her back hit a wall. 

"J-Jeff.. Say something." The girl pleaded, her hands shaking.

As Jeff cornered the girl into a wall, he then pushed her hardly on the elbow, making the girl yelp with pain as he lowered his tone into a small harsh whisper against her ear. 

"Y/N.." He breathed.

"What did I tell you?" He asked, pushing the girl's elbow further. He could hear the girl whimper in pain, but he didn't stop. He leaned in until his head was on top of the shaking girl's head and continued. "Don't do anything stupid."
