You guys r so funny tbh love you <3

1 Year Later

As I stood at the food, the man asked me questions about my day. I didn't respond, nor when he bid me goodbye. There's Fatui crawling all over here, who knows who's being fake. I return to the safety at my home, the curtains drawn. Having concluded the possibility of another spider camera in the house I've given up on that I won't be watched. I cook myself dinner, hearing an eventual knock on the door. I decide to take a look through the peephole, there he is. I take a step back, tripping over my shoes and falling. It hurts, this isn't a dream. What in the hell is he doing here? He knocks again, with more urgency. I don't respond, or make another noise. I'm much too unsure and afraid. "I heard you fall, we need to talk." He starts trying the doorknob. "Let me in, I won't touch you." He can't be trusted, so why do I want to open that door. This isn't a fairytale, I don't get that and he reminded me so. I get up, backing away from the door. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, please open the door (Y/N). I don't feel like breaking down another today." Another? What the hell is going on. And that bastard is still watching me. With my heart beating so fast I make a break for it, heading out through the patio, climbing over the fence. I fall forward, almost on my face, and dash elsewhere. I can hear his shoes nearing the corner, I slip into the pond. The water absolutely freezing, but I let the air out of my lungs to sink. I'm desperate to get away from him, desperate to get back to being how things used to be. Desperate to be nothing alone again. After I hold on for as long as I can, I go back to the top. I take a large gasp of breath, freezing. "Fuck.." I choke out. Something warm is draped on my shoulders, before pulling me closer. It's that stupid expensive cologne, but I can't find comfort in it this time. I struggle, crying and pleading. "No! Please! You've done enough! Stop it!" He holds on tighter, but he's not trying to hurt me. With my widened eyes I turn to look at him. Tears falling his eyes.

"I'm sorry." The words melt my heart, and suddenly it was like being at the alter again. I decide struggling is useless anyway and let him hold me. My heart won't stop squeezing itself, nor it slow its pace. I let him cry, for what feels like much too long. His hand comes to stroke my hair. "It's you.. it's truly you.. I know I said I wouldn't touch you but," his breath shudders, "I love you too much to stay away." Love? Love?! Love..? He holds me tighter against him, my body beginning to shiver as I've taken all the warmth from his coat. "Don't move..." His words scare me like a rabid cat, once he tries to pick me up I'm about to struggle. However, the look on his face seems all too real to be distrusted. He takes me back home, unlocking my door with his key. Why in the hell was he begging for me to open the door then? He takes me to the bathroom, sitting me down on the toilet. He runs a warm shower, looking over at me nervously. "Look.. I really do just want to talk, sweetheart. I'll leave if that's what you really want." My eyes widen, no fucking way he's being sincere. He leaves, his stupid coat only making me want to believe him. I get up, throwing it to the side. I start to shower, when I hear the door open and shut again. Once I get out of the shower I see he's laid out some clothes for me. I dry myself off and put on the clothes, dragging his heavy coat out.

"You wanted to talk..?"

He gently leads me over to the couch, where he only seems to get more nervous. "I'm not supposed to be around you, because I can't control myself anymore.." He caresses my cheek, which I pull away from. "I left a small scar, I've hurt you more than I would've liked.. Just listen to me, believe me or not."

"...alright.." Whatever lie he's about to spit out will be utter bullshit.

"The night at the pond, Nadia was looking for you. She told me everything, but then Vlad chimed in. Asking me if I was really only going to go so far.. they truly wanted me to hurt you. Since the day I first left, those 6 months I wanted to hold you. I was being honest with my feelings, all of them. I told you so much about myself, why would I do that to someone I don't care about? But the Fatui are merciless, so are the underlings. I hated as I watched my own underlings snicker back at base about you, how they laughed at your feelings, how sick they could be about someone so sweet... You were a real joy in my life, (Y/N). I've kept everything you gave me, every picture, and held onto every word. The day before the wedding, many of my men surrounded me asking if this was the day I'd do it. All I could say was yes, I wouldn't have my own men disobey me just because I got soft. I'm glad they listened to my order of staying away... please let me hold you." It all could be a lie, it all could be a truth. I nod, his strong arms pulling me in like they always would. After all our nights in bed, breakfasts laughing, and lunches flirting does it matter if he's lying? Hurt me again and again, but I'll come back to you. I'm too lost without you now.

His arms tighten around me as I hear him cry again. "I'll stay with you.. please don't leave me again. Never again, do you hear me?"

"Yes.. I hear you, never again."

Pantalone's POV

That's right my precious pet, fall for me all over again. I'll make sure I keep you on a leash for the rest of your pitiful life.

Behind the Scenes in Pantalone's POV, wedding day.

"Nadia, you know I'm not being genuine but I'm questioning your loyalty as of now." Her eyes widen, she knows she's been too friendly with that pet. "I'm gonna marry her, or ask her to, all I need you to do is leave with the rest of the crow. You will not look back, or I'll make sure it's off with your head Nadia, I don't give two shits you work for Childe." She nods, leaving my room. It'll be so satisfying destroying that pet. I laugh at the thought.

——

I bring (Y/N) back to a house of mine. "You'll be safe here, I don't have my men guard this one." I lead them upstairs, into the bedroom. I pull them onto me as I lay on the bed.

"Ooh!" They snuggle into me nicely, I hold them tightly, running my hand through their hair. You're mine, all mine to break or bruise. All mine to shake or pull.. even bite. My own pet, my own little play thing. Even if you knew you'd let me wouldn't you? You can't be far from me anymore.

"If any of the Fatui come by for whatever reason, you hide. They aren't to be trusted, I'll never ever send anyone to get you. I'll do it all myself, I will protect you this time." I rest my head on top theirs, letting their hands hold me as they please.

A Few Months Later

Your POV
There's a knock at the door, assuming Pantalone forgot his keys again I open it. I see Nadia standing there. "He's lying to you..! You have to leave!" I back away, shutting the door in her face. I run upstairs, hiding in the back of the closet. I can hear her storm in, that two faced liar. Why can't she just leave me alone? Whatever she says will contradict him, I know he isn't lying. She comes into the room. "(Y/N), I swear he's lying..! I really wasn't being fake, he ordered me to leave you there at the alter! He'd kill me otherwise. (Y/N) please, please don't let me see him break another person. He'll throw you away as soon as he sees fit." I don't make a noise, eventually she leaves.

I don't mention it when Pantalone comes home, he doesn't seem any different. He greets me with a large hug, holding on as tight as always. His arms relaxing on my lower back.

This is happy enough right? 😪 Someone wanted a Pt5 so treat this as the real ending or don't, either way NO REAL HAPPY ENDING.
