Somewhere in the world, there’s a girl with a broken heart..

~~

While Caleb was away, she promised herself that she wouldn’t date anyone. She couldn’t bear to have that special place in her heart replaced by another guy. Rejecting every guy who dared ask her out, declining simple one-on-one outings and lunch dates. She clung to that apple pendent like her life depended on it…

But then, after a while she began to let go.. slowly healing after mourning so long the special person in her heart.

When she had let go, she met a guy.. He’s a decent guy, seems to have good intentions. Starting out, he took her on casual dates.

“Well good things don’t last..”

After some months, day after day, forgotten.. Empty promises, hollow words, fakes smiles and feels.

She started to question if it was herself or possibly another person. Thought after though, question after question until an answer was revealed-

Pause.

During that time, she went on a personal mission, going up to Skyhaven and discovering something surprising..

He was alive.. alive and breathing. Heart beating, blood pumping and emotions clear on his face-

“Caleb!” Her life changed that day, it got better..

Did it?

“Things fall apart and time breaks your heart..”

January pasted and February came along. Valentine’s Day was around and the corner and she was excited for what he might prepare for her despite the previous things he’d done to hurt her.

Valentine’s Day, he took her to a hotel after wine and dine with her. She was having the best day of her life so it seems but things took a turn..

Play.

He told her his true feelings, they were fake this whole time.. He only used her to get under his college’s skin. To show that this was all a competition and she was just his stepping stone to get ahead. There was never any feelings from him..

Yet her feelings were true.. they were always true. Heartfelt emotions after so long, just for her poor heart to get broken into pieces..

He left her in that hotel room alone. Thankfully he threw his true intentions away since he couldn’t bear to go any further and decided to just end it quickly.

He left and never spoke to her ever again, truly ruining her first try at trying to form a relationship after a dark period of her life.

But.. Caleb..

Caleb was there.. he came back after all.. He came back at the right time..

“But I see her in the back of my mind all the time..”

After crying her heart out in the hotel room, she cleaned up her face and left. Going home and trying her best to keep it together.

She achieves, but that mask can only hold for so long. Caleb was away in Skyhaven while she was cradling the pieces of her broken heart.

“Feels like a fever, I’m burning alive, like a sign..”

After a week that had happened, Caleb finally came back from his mission. Coming back home and finding her in her room on a rainy day. She seemed fine but as soon as she hugged Caleb.. it all came down..

Her heart lay broken on the floor before Caleb, her emotions were a mess and yet she cried quietly on his shoulder. As Caleb consoled her, he was slowly doing his best to fix her broken heart. Piece by piece.. bit by bit..

Through her quiet sobs, she only said one thing:

“Did I cross the line?”

[azure-lily24]

(Please read this after finishing the main story!!!! This is my take on the episode “Captive Bird”)

A/n: Caleb is here and that means time to write for him!!!! Also bear with me because the start is kinda basically the story ;-;

~~

After coming back to his place from being on the ship, Caleb sits you down and starts tending to your wound.

“Sit first. We need to tend to your wound”, you huff and bark back, “Is the Colonel ordering me around? Or is Caleb worried about me?”

He examines your knee but you try to move away from his touch. “Do you remember that injured cat you brought home? Back when we were kids.” He unzips your boot and takes it off your foot and puts it aside. “We kept it in the backyard. But the cat always kept trying to run away before it fully recovered.”

He takes out a cotton ball and pours a bit of alcohol on it and moves to clean your knee but you slap his hand away and move to stand up. “I don’t want to listen to this-“

As you try to stand, your body is frozen in place as Caleb uses his evol on you. He grabs your leg and pulls you close. “Do you want to know what I did in response?” He goes back to treating your knee, patting the cotton ball on your wound.

“I got a collar with a bell. I put it on the cat, that way, it couldn’t escape without being noisy. If I had that kind of bell right now… I should make you wear it, right?” Caleb looks up at you with a scary glint in his eyes.

You huff and look away, “Is this how you’ll protect me? I just need to be glued to your side?” Caleb reaches out and grabs your wrist and puts a small bracelet on you, the bracelet lights up as it checks your vitals.

“I know it’s unfair but.. because of that monster, your wound is infected. Is there truly a way for you to run around without getting injured?” He looks at you as he holds your hand near his face.

You nearly rip your hand away and retort in response, “Are you still the Caleb who confronted danger with me?” You look at him, waiting for his response but he says nothing. You roll your eyes and look away in annoyance. “I’ve had enough of your protection.”

You stand up and move to walk to your room but he quickly up and grabs your wrist again, holding you to his body. “Why must you always be so stubborn-“

Before he could finish his sentence, your palm glows bright as you forcefully resonate with him and push him away using his evol against him. “I’m not being stubborn! I’m not that little girl anymore so I don’t need your protection, okay?!”

Caleb looks shocked but quickly recovers and gets to his feet. “You-“

“No, you listen! You said you wanted me to stand BY your side, but it only feels like I’m standing behind you.. I’m old enough to care for myself, to fend for myself, to protect myself. I don’t need you treating me like I still that little girl..” You spoke with a glare in your eyes as Caleb stood there and listened. He scoffs and soon you feel a heavy weight on your body. Your legs soon collapse under the pressure while Caleb stands over you.

“You may realize that I’m not that sweet boy from our childhood anymore but remember..”, he leans down and tilts your chin up, making you look at him. “I will never stop protecting you..”

He then slips a necklace on around your neck, once it reacts to your body heat, it contracts and becomes a bit tighter around your neck, like a collar.

Like a collar…

Once the pressure if lifted from your body, you touch the thing around your neck and look up at Caleb. He adjusts his gloves and turns to walk out. “A tracker.. you can’t remove it so don’t even think about it”

And with that, he walks out of his home leaving you on the floor with a tracker collar around your neck…

[azure-lily24]

Can I just say, I would love to just lay underneath this pretty ass man- like Sylus just sleeping and trapping me underneath him with his weight-

~~

Visiting Sylus after being away for so long felt like breath of fresh air. It was one of the times where at the association, it was quiet and there were almost no metaflux fluctuations. During these times, you resorted to sometimes leaving the city and traveling all the way into the N109 Zone and visiting your favorite resident there.

When you arrived, Mephisto was the first to greet you. Flying over and perching on your shoulder. You smile when you see that Sylus had added a small modification to Mephisto, changing the outer metal part of his wings so now it was a gunmetal color; a light color from the usual black. “Hey Mephisto, where’s your creator at?”

The crow caws and flies away, leaving the building. You sigh and smile to yourself, knowing that Sylus was out, probably attending to business. You decide to just go and walk to his room and just wait for him to come back.

Entering and closing the door, you decide to go and freshen up. Walking into the bathroom and showering. After almost 20 minutes, you emerge from the bathroom wearing a robe. Changing into something more modest and comfortable, you then sit down on his bed and read a book to pass the time.

After what felt like 30 minutes, Mephisto appears once again. Choosing to go to his perch as door opens and a familiar tall man appears from the other side of the door. He was wearing his signature black outfit with the matching jacket as well. He looked exhausted.. very exhausted.

Sylus looked up at you with a tired gaze. Closing the book and putting it on the night stand, you say nothing and just open your arms, inviting the man into your warm embrace. Sylus closes the door behind him and you can see his guard being let down as he walks over and lays down. Situating himself in between your legs and laying his head on your stomach; wrapping his arms around your waist.

Running a hand through his hair and rubbing his back, Sylus sighs and slowly falls asleep. His back slowly rising and falling. As you play with his hair, you beckon Mephisto over to you, the crow curious of your request, flies over quietly.

“Make sure the building stays quiet for the rest of the night.” With that request given, Mephisto flies out the room, fulfilling that request.

Now that it was just the two of you, you smile to yourself as the boss of Onichinus and probably the most dangerous and powerful man in the N109 Zone, was sleeping soundly in front of you. His guard completely let down as he breathes in and out quietly.

“Sleep well my love~”

Kill Bill

Listened to Kill Bill by SZA while writing this so the title was fitting I think?

Context: Hurtful things said (if you squint), mentions of killing and death and probably toxic relations, reader with feminine qualities

A/n: I saw a fic of the person writing Sylus playing a game of predator and prey with the reader (him being a stalker-) and kinda decided to see what other "dark" themes I think this man could do. This is my own spin on things and this does not relate to Sylus's actual in-game character. Please remember that :)

Reader is their own character, not mc, enjoy :3

The building shook with great force as an explosion was heard from above. The guests were startled and started to panic and rush to the exit. Those who had malicious intent decided to act upon it with the disturbance being their distraction, cutting down innocent people of power and those who hold such status in the world.

You, whoever, stayed in the shadows and supervised the people with ill-intent and used your evol on them. Focusing your attention solely on the person and muttering under your breath.

"Stop. Pain.."

The person who was sneaking up behind an innocent woman, froze and their eyes widened. Placing the person under a mental spell, their mental image changes to show their stomach gutted and their insides sprawled all over the floor. They clutched their stomach in pain and kneeled down on the floor. Smirking when the fool was reduced to laying in a fetal position while their mind plays tricks on them, you hear one of the twins speaking in your ear piece, "Hey boss lady, you might wanna leave the building, it looks like it's gonna collapse in probably less than a minute"

You were just about to respond to Kieran, who spoke through when Luke also spoke up, "And don't worry! Boss and Miss hunter have already left the building" I sigh to myself but soon I start hearing loud thuds and look around to see the decorative pillars falling down and poor unsuspecting guests who haven't left yet either get caught under the pillars or narrowly escape them. You curse under your breath and quickly run to the exit.

Ignoring cries of help and pain, your heels clacking on the soiled marble floor as you were a couple of feet away from the exit, but suddenly a pillar fell and one of the beautiful ice sculptures that was on a table near the exit fell and ice shards flew everywhere. Thankfully it was just ice, but some of the shards flew and cut some of the panicked guests, including you.

You quickly dusted yourself off and ran out the exit. But you were too late...

~~

Sylus appeared with her outside the building just a couple of minutes before. He looked down at her as she held the aether core in her hand, well the vessel of it.. As the building was starting to collapse, the twins appeared in front of him, prepared to leave the scene.

While Sylus was occupied with her, the twins were muttering among themselves.

"Where's boss lady?" "She should've made it out by now.." "You don't think someone's got her, right?" "Definitely not, she's nearly on the same level as the boss"

Miss hunter turned her attention to the twins and questioned them, "Who are we waiting for? And what are you two talking about?"

The twins stop talking and stare at the girl. Sylus, on the other hand, summons Mephisto and sends him out to try and search for you among the nearly collapsing building. The crow leaves and the girl watches as he leaves. She turns to Sylus and asks the same question.

"Sylus, who are we waiting for?"...

~~

Weeks have gone by since that day of the auction. Mephisto had failed to find you before the building had collapsed. The twins were devastated because you were their friend who they could banter with whenever Sylus didn't need them nor you.

Sylus, however, seemed indifferent on the outside yet there was a strange empty feeling inside.. He didn't have anyone to nag him about being holed up in his office, nor did he have anyone to workout with whenever Miss hunter was away..

But most importantly, he lost his enforcer, his right hand person.. the person who kept him alive.. well.. mentally..

He sighed to himself as Mephisto appeared to inform him that Miss hunter was here again

~~

It's been almost 2 months since that day happened.. you stood in front of a mirror and took off the bandages and looked at the scars the stitches left. Scars ran up your arm and down the side of your body where somehow, a fool was still alive and picking off innocent folk and you just happened to be a target. If you weren't so distracted from wiping away the ice shards and all of the poor guests left behind that were screaming and panicking, you could've heard them and dealt with them with ease, but no..

~

Nearly being slashed open, you just managed to escape them and escape the building. Scrambling down each floor level, you barely made it a couple of meters away when the building finally collapsed, kicking up dust and killing all of the remaining guests trapped inside.

Your body felt like it was on fire as you tried to stop the massive gash on the side of your body from killing you of blood loss while you looked around to see if Sylus and the twins were still around. You tried contacting them through your ear piece but somehow it was swiped from your person.. probably from either the escape out of the building or the encounter from the foolish idiot that tried to kill you..

Looking around more, you spotted your bike that was still here and yet.. the others were nowhere to be found when suddenly you hear the voice of that hunter girl who appeared just two weeks ago..

"Sylus, who are we waiting for?"

Her innocent looking eyes gazed up at him as he shook his head and started walking to the car they arrived in. My eyes widened as I realized that Sylus was leaving me..

Rage started to rise but the pain was overpowering.. I quickly and carefully moved to my bike and sped away, leaving the others and leaving the scene.

~

Toss away the bandages, you slip on your jacket and head out, remembering that Sylus would be attending a banquet where he would buy out from an arms dealer. You smirk to yourself and decide to show up and announce your return from the "dead"..

Putting on your helmet, you walk out to your bike and sped off, leaving Linkon City, where you were hiding from Sylus and go to return back to the N109 Zone..

~~

The familiar red tinge and the dark sky of the N109 felt welcoming to you as you rode through, speeding up now that you were out of the beautiful night sky of Linkon City.

You pulled up to the place and put on an elegant mask that fit well with the black dress you wore, as well as a jacket to cover up your scar. Looking around and smirking when you see a familiar car parked not too far from you, signaling that Sylus was here and the possibility that he brought that girl with him as well. This just made your plan even better..

Walking inside and showing your invite, the bouncer allows you in and you look at the extravagant place. The ceiling had a starry sky, and the people around wore colors you would see in a galaxy. Those who wore masks were either body guards or those who would rather keep their identity a secret in hopes to avoid being targeted by undercover killers..

Walking around and greeting other guests who attended, you spot two familiar crow masks that were nearly hidden in the shadows. You smile as you turn and start walking towards the twins.

They looked surprised to see an unknown guest walking towards them and move to push them away, but you smirked and spoke,

"Why.. I'm hurt.. 2 months have passed and you two don't even look a bit happy to see me? Maybe I should just leave again.." The twins were shocked to hear your voice and Luke reached up to inform Sylus of your return when you grabbed his wrist and shook your head. "Keep my presence a secret and maybe you two will be spared from me~"

You chuckled as they nodded and kept their mouths shut, scared but also confused of why you didn't want Sylus to know that you were back.

Walking away from the twins, you spotted the hunter girl. She was idling around and chatting with those who would entertain her. She wore a dark purple dress with blue and black accents, and every time she would move, you could see the glitter that would imitate stars. You sigh to yourself and already know that Sylus had probably bought that dress for her.

You walked up to her and smiled, talking in a voice that's a bit higher than your normal tone. "Hi miss, can I just say your dress is absolutely stunning, where did you get it from?"

She smiled and shook her head, "I got it from the place at the Grand Center and it was a gift from my partner." Anger started to rise from that word she used to describe Sylus, but I kept my emotions in check and nodded.

'I knew Sylus for nearly five years and yet she's only been around for two, almost three months and this shit happens', you spoke out in your mind and sighed.

"Well since it seems like your 'partner' has the pockets, might I strike a deal with you?", you held out your hand, knowing this girl probably doesn't have enough knowledge to know when a woman is being shady, unlike men..

She looks at your hand and tilts her head in curiosity, "A deal for what?"

You smiled and beckoned her to follow you, "Come with me and I'll show you, I would rather prefer if not a lot of people saw the protocore I've acquired." You internally smirked as she nodded.

'This was too easy~'

You felt a pair of eyes on you as you led her out into a corridor, away from public eyes. You stopped once you were sure no one saw the two of you leaving the main floor and turned to her. She looked at you with curiosity as you reached into one of your jacket pockets and pulled out a protocore. It was a larger core from the usual ones you would see. You looked up and saw that her eyes had widened and she looked at the core in your hand in awe.

"That's incredible!, where did you get it from miss?", she asked with so much excitement, it reminded you of a child who had just seen the biggest candy store in the world.

You opened your mouth to reply when suddenly, an oh-so-familiar voice was heard and a certain snowy grey haired man appeared from around the corner. He looked beautiful in the suit he was wearing, a black suit with blue and red accents and bits of embroidery showing stars.

"It's a fake.. no protocore would ever form like that.." Sylus spoke in a condescending tone to try and intimidate me. I only scoff and tilt my head, putting a hand on my hip.

"Are you calling me a scammer, sir?", I smirk and the fake protocore in my hand shifts and turns into a small blade. The hunter girl backs away and Sylus glares at me and waves a hand, holding me in the air with his power.

"You would be a fool to try and lay a hand on her..", Sylus slowly starts to close his hand, the force of his evol increasing as he strangles me in the air. I smirk and focus all of my attention on him..

"Pain.."

His eyes widen and I am released from his hold. Landing on the floor as Sylus holds his head in pain as his mental image changes and burning pain clouds his mind. He lets out a groan as he tries to fight, yet I keep my focus on him and smirk while doing so.

Miss hunter looks scared as I do, looking worried as Sylus kneels down to the floor and looks up at me with pain in his eyes. I cross my arms and release him from his mental torture. I take off my mask as he recovers and stands up from the floor.

"Long time, no see.. missed me?" I smirk as Sylus looks shocked for only a second but quickly composes himself. Miss hunter shared the same reaction as she quickly recognized me. "If only you waited just one more minute back then.." my bottom lip pokes out to pout, as if I were mocking him.

Sylus sighed in annoyance and pinched the bridge of his nose. "If you were alive all this time.. why were you hiding these last two months?"

I smirk and played with the small blade in my hand, "You tell me, how would you feel if you were probably on the brink of death and saw your boss leaving you behind, huh?" I shrug off the side of my jacket that hid my scar and proudly show it to Sylus. "A clean cut from my arm.. to my waist.. nearly dying and yet you had the nerve to busy yourself with a little girl whose purpose has already been fulfilled..". I turned my gaze to her and glared at her and spoke,

"Burn.."

Her eyes widened as she cried out in pain as a burning sensation clouded her mind. Sylus quickly waved a hand, bringing you closer to him and holding your throat in his hand. You smirked as he looked at you with such anger.

"Why so serious? After all, she resonated with you and got the aether core, therefore, she's useless now.." you smiled as she cried out in pain again, begging you to stop it.

"Call it off, or else you'll actually die this time.." Sylus threatened yet your eyes widened when you realized what he had said. Miss hunter cries in relief when released from her mental torture, keeling down on the ground as tears fall from her face.

Sylus unhands you. You back away and look at him with a look of betrayal and anger. "Seems you couldn't cut off a loose end, but don't worry.." you spoke as you looked down. Sylus glanced back to check on her but that painful feeling returned and soon, when he looked up at you, the small blade was no longer in your hand. He turned and saw it lodged deep into Miss hunter's heart...

"I took care of it..."

~~~

(WOOOOOOO I wrote this in the span of two hours while Sylus held me at gunpoint from 30 minutes of that- also while I was writing this, I realized that reader's evol seemed quite similar to the blonde girl Jane from Twilight. Anyone else thought of that or was it just me?)

Requests are open

Hello! I am currently (and mostly) writing for my current obessions: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1, 2, and 3, Love and Deep space, some slasher movies and Red Dead Redemption 2 (I just realized my interests seem all over the place ;-;)

Anyway, hope you enjoy the stories and bits underneath this post

[azure-lily24]

Just thinking about having one of the men be your neighbor. Whether it be Price being an absolute gentleman of a neighbor or Ghost just being his usual black cat self (or even a fic of Single dad! Soap)

Idk I just really love this idea

So here’s my take on Neighbor!Gaz :D

Context (Or warnings?): Reader uses She/her pronouns, Reader has a service dog that makes sure no one gets too close to her and helps with regulating her panic attacks, Kyle being his sweet self

~~

Mentally thanking whoever gave you three days off from working almost a whole week in a row, it took nearly a day to pack everything up and making sure your mail was being transferred to the right address, and then the next day you finally moved out of your crappy neighborhood to a new neighborhood. You sigh as you lock the door when your cousins leave after helping move your furniture in.

Walking over to your sofa, you flop on your stomach as Honey, your Doberman, comes over to check on you. She comes and joins you on the sofa, settling between your legs and resting her head on your thigh.

You chuckle and reach back and rub her on the head. “Are you tired from all of this moving? Me too, girlie..”, you smile as you hear a sigh come from her

You stay like this for a couple of minutes, then get up and start unpacking. Moving to first unpack your kitchen, then moving to put stuff away in your bathroom and then finally unpacking in your room.

Putting your clothes away and then giving your room a makeover to fit your aesthetic..

~~

Few hours later of setting everything up, you just lay on the floor of your room and sigh to yourself. Honey comes in the room and makes her place on your bed. You sit up and look at her and then look at your phone.

“Almost 11 pm?! Wow.. I was productive” you smile to yourself and then contemplate, “Should I shower now or tomorrow? Eh, I’ll just shower, I’m too tired..”

And with that, you get up and settle in next to Honey and turn off the lights and go to sleep..

~~

Next day rolls around as Honey wakes you up, signaling she wanted to go out. Getting up and rubbing your face, you walk out and slip on your shoes and exit your home.

Walking around the neighborhood, Honey walks around off-leash as she bounds around in the grass along the sidewalk. You smile as she takes in her surroundings.

A few people walk by, also going for a walk in the morning. Some compliment Honey and her ability to walk off-leash, but when they try to get close to her or you, she leans away from people or loops around you to keep people away from you.

Sure you get a couple of weird looks but you just smile and shrug it off.

~~

After walking around the neighborhood and Honey handling her “business”, you get back to your home and see a man getting out of his car and taking out a few duffel bags. He seemed to be in the military as you see that the duffel bags were all the same beige color.

He also seemed to have a military build as he walked up to his door, which was next to your own. “Did I just move in next to a military dude? I did, huh..”, as I thought to myself.

He opened his door and set his bags down and turned to get the other bag he left in his car when he noticed you and nodded towards you. His expression seemed quite reserved at first until he noticed Honey appearing at your side, staring him down.

His lips then curled up into a smirk and he held up his hands in surrender. “Relax pretty girl, I’m just getting my things”

You chuckle as you pat Honey on the head. “He won’t do anything Honey, at ease love..” The man’s eyes widen a bit when he sees Honey loops around you and look up at you with an open mouth smile and he smiled at you, “Did you teach her that?”

You look up at him and tilt your head in curiosity, “Teach her what?” “At ease?”, you smile and nod. He chuckles and grabs his bag and walks back to his door, “That’s really adorable”

You nod and walk up to your door and unlock it. His eyes widen and his smile grows wider, “New neighbor too? Well then, I wonder if I should introduce myself”

You smile and let Honey inside and nod, introducing yourself first, “Y/n, and that was my dog, Honey”

He nods and sets down his bag inside, “Nice to meet you Y/n, name’s Kyle”

You decide to push aside your thoughts and ask a question, “By any chance, are you in the military?”, Kyle nods and replies, “I’m actually a Sargent”

Your eyes widen, but your attention was immediately diverted when Honey barked at you and huffed in annoyance. You chuckle and quickly end the conversation with Kyle, “Sorry, looks like Honey wants her breakfast now, I’ll see you later, maybe”

Kyle chuckles and nods as you walk in and close your door behind you. You smile to yourself and walk to your kitchen to prepare food for Honey.

~~

After eating breakfast, you take a look at your new home and smile. Feeling quite happy and satisfied that you managed to find and nab a place like this; "And a cute Sargent next door..", you thought to yourself.

Then unconsciously, you start to scratch your leg, a habit that made you spiral down a dark rabbit hole a while ago.. Honey, on the other hand, walks over and paws at your hand, making you stop and realize what you were doing.

"Oh shoot, sorry girl.." you smile and pat her on the head. Honey keeps an eye on you as you ponder on what to do for the day.

"Okay since I go back to work tomorrow, what should I do..?", you question Honey as she looks at you and tilts her head in question. Then your phone starts ringing, picking it up and seeing that it was your father calling, you smile and answer.

Hearing your father's gruff voice on the other side brings it usual sense of peace to you as he asks how have you been and if moving in went well. You replied with happy and satisfied responses and direct the conversation to him, asking if he is well and all…

~~

The day went by after that call with your father hours ago, clouds pass as Honey naps in between your legs. You sat on the sofa watching a video of some youtuber. As the video played, you can’t help but think about the Sargent next door..

The interaction you had earlier replaying in your mind. “He’s in the military and he’s a Sargent.. and by the looks of the bags he had brought in, he’s probably not home a lot.. but if that is the case, then how does he manage his home??” You shake your head as you try to stop thinking too hard about someone you’ve just met.

~~

After making and eating a simple meal, you decide to go for another walk, taking Honey with you to burn off some energy.

Walking around your new and unfamiliar neighborhood at night is rather interesting. Some neighbors have hangings lights going from their porch to surroundings trees, lights up pathways.

Looking up in the sky at the stars as Honey sniffed around, staying close to you, you continued on your walk.

~~

The next day rolls around as you wake up to your alarm blaring in your ear and Honey stirring at your feet. Feeling dazed, you shut off your alarm and slowly get up and make your way to your bathroom to get ready.

Showering and getting ready, and making yourself look work-appropriate with ease as Honey watches. You quickly let her out to relieve herself as you prepare a quick breakfast and her vest for her.

Letting her back in to eat as you munch on a granola bar, you quickly wipe and brush her down as she eats. Once she was done, you put on her vest and grab your keys and stuff and head out to go to work.

~~

Arriving at work, some of your co-workers greeted you and your dog, always delighted to see her. As you make your way to the back room to clock, you spotted one of your managers dealing with a "particular petty customer". You chuckle at their misfortune and continue walking.

After clocking in, you get to work, basically restocking shelves and organizing things. Whenever you were fully facing a shelf, Honey would sit facing backwards, watching anyone who walks by or steps into the aisle. A woman happened to walk into the aisle and saw you and the dog sitting at your feet, watching your back. As it was kind of normal for random people to come up to you and say that dogs weren't allowed in the store, you pointed to Honey's service dog vest and reminded them of the sign that was on the glass door when entering that service dogs were allowed.

Thankfully, most of the people either apologized for their misunderstanding or acknowledged it and backed away but of course, and sadly, there will always be that one person who just doesn't get the context or just doesn't listen to you at all, even though you have on a vest that shows that you work at the place and the vest that Honey has on.

However, the woman scoffed and got closer to you and started to shove her phone in your face for no reason at all. You quickly tried to back away as this started to stress you out. Honey started to bark and try her best to get the woman away from you but it worked to no avail as the woman continued to harass you when another person had intercepted. They got in front of you and blocked you away from the woman's further approaches. The woman looked offended and started to go on a rant about how your dog had bit her and how she was telling you that your dog wasn't allowed in the store since it was obviously feral and not trained. The person calmly moved her away and a manager, who heard the sudden outburst appeared and handled the situation and took the woman away.

After that was handled, the person turned back to check on you but was a bit surprised when they saw you sitting on the floor with Honey sitting between your legs and her, resting her head on your shoulder as you tried your best to calm down from the situation. The person walks closer and recognizes Honey and speaks up.

"Y/N?", you look up with teary eyes, then your eyes widen when you see Kyle in simple civilian clothes. You do a small wave and try to compose yourself to not break down in front of him. He crouches down a couple of feet away from you to give you your space and asks, "Are you okay? Do you need anything?"

His questions and him worrying about you would tug at your heartstrings.. if only you weren't trying to not have a panic attack at the moment. You shake your head and reply softly, "Just give me a minute and then I'll be fine" as you wrapped your arms around Honey's neck and breathe in and out, slowly.

Kyle nodded and backed away, walking a couple of more feet away from you to give you as much space as possible without completely letting you leave his sights. In and out, you breathed slowly as your mind started to calm down and your heart stops racing. You slowly stand up, Honey watching you closely as you stand. Kyle takes notice and looks at you and looks at you in question and gives you a thumbs up. You nod and give him a thumbs up, he nods and smiles and walks away to continue with his day.

You sigh and mentally facepalm that your neighbor had not only, seen you at your workplace, but also almost seen you have a panic attack. Man was that embarrassing..
