Part two to the Assassin AU

Warning: showcases drinking

7.00 pm:

Y/n hurriedly slips on her sandals and smoothens the wrinkles in her red dress that reaches just above her knees. She rakes her hand through her hair once and sprays some perfume on her neck before securing a necklace around her neck and walking out of her room. Ruel came five minutes before, so y/n asked him to wait on the couch while she finishes off her look.

"Okay, I'm ready!" She speaks out as she enters the living room to see Ruel on his phone.

Ruel gets up from the couch, still staring at the screen. "Okay let's go- whoa." He looks up from the screen to see y/n looking stunning as ever. His cheeks tint a champagne pink as his gaze remains fixed on y/n.

"What?" Y/n asks shyly.

"Nothing just," Ruel walks closer to her, "you look so stunning." He whispers. Ruel slowly leans in, and so does y/n and both of them experience warmth and love from the two. After a few seconds they pull apart and their lips feel cold and empty the moment they became two separate pieces back again.

"We should get going now." Ruel says in the same hushed tone. Y/n nods and intertwines her hand with Ruel as both of them go down to Ruel's car and drive to the party.

"How far is it?" Y/n asks looking out the window as her head bobs up and down to the music being played on the radio.

"Just a few minutes angel." Ruel replies with his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Butterflies pop in y/n's stomach when Ruel calls her 'angel'. That nickname is making her fall in love with him more and more.

"We're here angel." Ruel says, parking his car in front of the house in which the party is taking place. It isn't a house; it's more of a mansion. As the two step out, the music becomes audible. Lights are flashing from the mansion and the smell of alcohol and weed is stuffing up their nose.

Y/n scrunches up her nose in disgust as she and Ruel walk inside with their hands intertwined. Everyone is dancing or playing games in the mansion. Ruel and y/n walk to the kitchen to get some drinks.

"Here you go." Ruel screams due to the deafening music, handing a red solo cup to y/n, while drinking from another one himself.

"Thank you." Y/n yells back, holding the cup from his hand and gulping the contents. The alcohol burns her throat, but she swallows all of it at once.

Ruel has had 5 cups of alcohol by now, and is drunk. He is moving around weirdly, dancing among the other party people. Y/n, on the other hand, is sitting on the couch, still holding her second cup of alcohol in her hand and swaying it side to side to pass her time.

"Pssst y/n."

Y/n turns around to see Ray. He works in the same gang as her.

"Ray?"

"Yeah its me." The blonde replies. "Get the information from Ruel here only. Take this earpiece." He hands y/n a black earpiece. She fixes it in her right ear and covers it with her hair. "Now, I'll be inspecting you and commanding you through that. So be vigilant."

Y/n nods. "Do this. No emotions involved. Clean and simple."

Y/n gets up from her seat on the couch and picks up two bottles of tequila from the kitchen. She then walks to the middle of the house where everyone is dancing around to the music. She walks to Ruel, who is moving his lanky body around on the dance floor.

"Ruel?" Y/n whispers in his ear from his back. He turns around to see y/n. "Let's go someplace quieter." Ruel simply nods and clutches y/n's hand as both of them climb up the stairs of the house and walk inside an empty room. Ruel sits on the bed and y/n closes the door behind her, sitting on the chair in front of the bed.

"What's that?" Ruel slurs, pointing to the alcohol bottles which were now on the floor next to y/n's chair.

"Tequila," Y/n picks up one bottle and pops it open, "have it." She holds out the bottle to Ruel who takes it from her hand and begins to drink.

"Tell me Ruel, you used to work for Black Ninjas?" Y/n asks.

Ruel pulls out the bottle of the clear drink out of his mouth to speak. "Yes." He slurs and nods.

"Why don't you work for them anymore?"

"I got fired. I had to kill a person, but I couldn't kill them."

"Who were you supposed to kill?"

"My own cousin."

Y/n gasps. "What?"

"Yes." Ruel nods, alcohol buzzing his system as he chugs down more tequila. "But, after they fired me, they realised that I was sent to kill the wrong person. My cousin wasn't the target, it was someone else. I was asked to join back the gang, but I didn't. I was tired of killing people. I wanted to live a normal life for once. So, i gave up on Black Ninjas and now I'm a free man." Ruel finishes, singing the last two words.

"What all do you know about the Brass Rebels?" Y/n asks, refering to her own gang.

"Our boss has a plan to kill each and every one of the Brass Rebels."

"What?!"

"Very soon our boss will send a mole to the Brass Rebels and he will kill everyone and uncover all the secrets." Ruel's eyes shut close as he drops on the bed with the bottle of tequila clutched loosely in his thin fingers.

"Y/n," Ray's voice comes from the earpiece, "we have all the information. Kill him."

Y/n gulps the huge lump in her throat. "Okay." She mumbles as tears form in her eyes. She gets up and reaches under her dress to pull out her secret knife. Her hand is just on top of Ruel's neck as she's about to slit it. "Just do it, no emotion involved-"

Y/n pulls out the earpiece from her ear as she throws the knife on the ground and pulls Ruel up from the bed. His eyes shoot open as he is being taken by y/n out of the house.

"Where are we going?" Ruel slurs as y/n runs with her hand in his own.

"Just run I'll tell you everything later!" She yells as both of them keep running.

Its a starry night, with the big dipper seemingly visible. The stars are shining so bright making you realise how stars can't shine without darkness. The dark engulfs the sky, yet the stars, the balls of fire are gleaming like jewels on a queen's crown. Shining their heart out. After all, they are stars.

And down below we have two lovers running. One had to kill the other but couldn't. How could she, she's in love. Love makes you do crazy things. The other has been oblivious the entire time to her reality. But he's in love. He loves everything about her. Her hair to her eyes to her soul, everything. She seems perfect to him and he seems perfect to her.

Y/n can't go back to her old apartment. Her gang knows where she lives but ....

"Ruel we're going to your apartment."

.... no one knows where Ruel lives.

"But I don't know where my apartment is!" He slurs.

Y/n shakes her head before walking to him. She puts her hands in the pockets in his jeans to feel keys. Y/n has been at Ruel's apartment before; she knows exactly where he lives. She grabs his hand again and continues to run.

"Y/n why are we running? We came in a car." Ruel says, still slurring his words.

"Its okay now. We're very far from the car. We can't go back to that house now."

After running for atleast 10 minutes, y/n and Ruel reach Ruel's apartment. Y/n hastily enters inside with Ruel and locks the door. She draws all the curtains and checks around for any open windows and doors. As she comes out of the guest bedroom where she was drawing the curtains to Ruel's room, she sees him passed out on his bed. A chuckle escapes her lips as she removes her dress and wears a hoodie and sweatpants from Ruel's closet. She tucks herself under the duvets next to Ruel. Her arm slithers around Ruel's waist.

"I love you." Y/n whispers, before closing her eyes and dozing off herself.

+++

Ruel wakes up to an arm firmly wrapped around his torso. He rubs his eyes and tilts his head to see his girlfriend sound asleep. A grin graces his face as his hand moves forward to brush the hair out of her eyes. He lets his hand linger on her cheek as his thumb softly caresses her cheek.

Y/n moves a little under Ruel's touch as she leans her cheek even more into Ruel's hand. He grins again and places a kiss on her forehead.

"Good morning angel." He whispers. Y/n nods with her eyes still closed and moves forward to snuggle her face in Ruel's chest. Ruel's hand moves up and down in her hair softly.

"Wake up angel." He whispers again.

"No. Too soon." Y/n groans, her voice muffled. She feels Ruel's chest vibrate as he laughs.

"No angel. It's 10.30 now." He gently but firmly grips on y/n's arms and makes her sit up, before sitting up himself. Y/n looks at Ruel with a pout on her face. Her body begins to lean forward but just before it could touch Ruel's chest again, Ruel holds her face and straightens her posture again.

"No angel, no more sleep. Go and freshen up; I'll make breakfast."

Another groan escapes y/n's lips as she gets out of the bed and walks inside the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Ruel himself gets out of the bed and goes to the small kitchen in the apartment.

"Waffles sound good." He says to himself before pulling out the waffle maker along with a bowl to prepare the waffle mix. As he pours all the ingredients and makes the mix, his mind wanders back to last night.

"Where are we going?"

"Just run I'll tell you everything later!"

Ruel's mind can only recall the incident of running with y/n. Why were the running, what did they do last night - he has no answers. His eyebrows stitch together as he pours the mix in the maker and shuts it close for it to be ready. Ruel stands with his back leaning against the counter, his eyebrows knitted together, his arms crossed in front of his chest and his mind thinking deeply.

"I smell waffles!" Y/n yells in a sing-song way as she enters the kitchen. When she actually sees the waffle maker sizzling away, she gasps in happiness. But it all drowns away when she notices Ruel.

Her eyebrows stitch up too as she walks to Ruel and lightly places her hands on his crossed arms.

"What happened bubs?" She whispers worriedly.

"What happened last night?" Ruel asks, staring right into her soul. Y/n's eyes widen. A sigh escapes her lips.

"I'll tell you everything. There's no use in hiding anything anymore."

And with that, y/n explains everything. Her membership in the Brass Rebels, the task she was given, why she got him drunk. And also, how she actually fell in love with him and left the task in between.

"You- you did that for me?" Ruel asks with his eyes softened up.

Y/n nods, tears brimming her eyes. "I did it because I love you." She whispers.

"I love you too angel." Ruel says. He leans in to kiss her and it feels as if two long lost pieces reunite back again.

"Ruel," Y/n says, pulling away, "we have to run away."

"Yes angel, we'll run away, together." Ruel leans his forehead against y/n's.

By the sunset of the day, the two lovers were out of the city, bound together by love, ready to start a new life by each other's side.

Author's note

This was my part 2 of the Assassin AU! What do you guys think of it?

And requests are open! You can request any AU ideas! But NO SMUT! I'M NOT GOING TO SEXUALISE RUEL! I KNOW HE'S NOT UNDERAGE ANYMORE, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WILL WRITE SMUT ABOUT HIM. SEXUALISING HIM, OR ANYONE IS JUST WRONG.

With love through health and sickness
