(Hamilton inspired)

(Set after NRC)

(Tw: mentions of death blood and guns)

----

"Riddle!" You sign in relieve when you see your old friend running towards you with a scared expression on his face, the moonlight casting a soft blue light over your mansion entrance where he entered.

"Y/n. What do you mean you're going agaisnt Leona in a duel today? What happened between you two?!" Riddle grabs your shoulders, panicked.

"Are you crazy?!"

'He's shaking.'

"Riddle, will you be my number two in the duel?" You looked at him with a clear mind you smiled.

"Y/n..."

----

The 10 days before, late at night, in Leona's Palace

"Leona Kingscholar." Leona turned to see you walking angrily through the long hall, "What the fuck happened with staying neutral?!"

"I just did what was best for our party. I saw the opportunity to gain power and I toke it." Leona said in a frim tone.

"Are you dumb?! After all the work we've done to support the king and restore our reputation you go ahead and ducking ruin it?!" Your voice could be heard from every room in the place.

"I did what was best. If you have a problem with that you can leave."

"Fuck you. Fuck you and your arrogant, power hungry ass. You deserve nothing. Every problem our cabinet has ever had has always been because of you."

"Hah, still so stupid and naive. You're supposed to be on my side. My side."

"I won't apologize for doing whats right." Leona continued.

"You only did what was best for you and never throguht about how it could affect anyone else. The king is pissed at us, the people is pissed at us and our own cabinet is pissed at us for gods sake!" You yell, staring straight into his green eyes.

"I'd be careful with your words and apologize if i were you, L/n." Leona stepped forward.

"I stand by what I said, every bit of it. You stand for yourself, its what you do." You breath in sharply, adrenaline rushing through your veins.

"In ten days, dawn at the cliff near the forest. We duel. Guns drawn." Leona's slightly wided eyes are full of anger, his fists clenched as he silently hopes- prays you dont accept.

"You're on."

-----

Leona arrives shortly at the cliff, with Ruggie following him shortly behind you make eye contact with him, but you turn away.

'Im sorry.' The two words you wish you'd heard from him that night. If only he said sorry.

You thought as you returned to observing the view from the cliff.

'This may be the place I die in.'

Every second, every minute passes and the time finally comes.

You draw first, standing facing the view of the cliff, observing the trees and bushes, thinking about everyone you've ever met and a warm blanket of comfort hugs you.

--------

I arrive at the cliff, seeing that Y/n had already arrived I toke off my coat while avoiding that piercing gaze.

'Why. You did you have to accept the challenge, if only you'd just apologized this-'

"Leona. It's time to draw positions"

'...'

-----

"We'll count from one to ten, every time you'll take a step forward, away from each other at at ten, you either fire or surrender by pointing your gun towards the sky." Riddle explained to both of you.

---

One. You take a step forward, still debating whether or not to shoot.

Two. Leona closes his eyes, remembering all the memories you and he made.

Three. Ruggie turns away from the scene, not wanting to bear the pain of the possibility of his two friends dying.

Four. You wish Riddle would count slower.

Five. Leona resists the urge to turn around and hug you.

Six. Ruggie covers his ears.

Seven. Riddle's eyes tear up.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

You and Leona both aim up towards the sky.
