LMK x Child Reader (NON-BINARY) [ON HOLD]

To Catch A Leaf

"Hmm. Crimson jimson weed produces just one flower and blooms under a light of a Crimson Moon." He said, making MK emit a long gasp, rising from the floor.

"That's tonight!"

"By the Gods of Plot Convenience. Let's go!" Before anyone could say a word, Sandy ran out of the noodle shop, making Mei bid him farewell. Y/N grunted, standing up and brushing themselves off.

"I'm gonna take a walk around the market-" They started, as they walked away to the door. "-See ya guys."

{~~❤~~}

Y/N looked around at the busy stands of the small market, humming a tune. They were soon lost in their own thoughts as they continued to walk through the slightly crowded area. It had been only a couple days since they saw Macaque. Macaque hadn't been visiting them after the shadow play incident. Y/N had also noticed MK being more cautious after the meeting with the shadow monkey. MK's also been clingier to Y/N, grabbing their arm, holding their hand, wrapping an arm around their should, etc. Y/N had noticed it, but hadn't commented on it. Y/N was kind of concerned though, they sometimes felt MK tense and hold on to them tighter when someone asks or mentions why he was so eager to get stronger.

Y/N just kept walking, not fully paying attention to what was in front of them, making them bump into someone's back. Y/N immediately snapped out of their thoughts when they made contact with the other person. They stumbled, stepping back before quickly apologizing.

"S-Sorry! I should have looked at where I was going."

"Oh, no need to apologize, my dear." Y/N perked up at the familiar voice, lifting their head to look up at the Mayor, who stared at them with a large, cheery, grin. Y/N scratched the back of their neck, chuckling while still a bit embarrassed.

"I didn't expect you to be here." Y/N said, making the Mayor's smile grow wider.

"Well, I could say the same for you-" He clapped his hands together, before tilting his head slowly in an unusual way. "-but no matter. I've been wanting to talk with you for a while." He finished, making Y/N look at him strangely, pointing at themselves.

"Me?"

"Why of course-!" He held out his hand to Y/N, his smile never leaving, or even faltering once. "Now, shall we go?" Y/N hesitated, slightly stepping back from the Mayor while looking at his hand.

"I don't know.. I'm not really supposed to be going with strangers after all." Y/N said, felling a bit uncomfortable at his proposal. Y/N's parents told him to NEVER in a million years, go with strangers anywhere alone. Even if they were the Mayor. After everything that has happened, they're not trusting him so easily. The Mayor's arm fell to his side, his smile slightly faltering, but only for a second. He tilted his head at Y/N's denial, before laughing.

"Then why don't we both walk around the market together, Hmm?" Y/N was a bit confused at this point. Why did he want to speak with them so badly? It was kinda suspicious of him. Especially with a [12-14] old child. On the other hand, the market was crowded, so if Y/N needed to call for help, they would get it pretty quickly. Y/N rubbed their arm thinking, before looking up at the Mayor, nodding in agreement.

The two started to walk next to each other, Y/N nervously looking around the crowded area, as the Mayor didn't seem bothered by the amount of people. He just silently walked, keeping his eyes glued in front of him. His smile never seemed to leave, that's what creeped Y/N out the most. The two eventually made some awkward small talk. Nothing interesting, just stuff about plans for the week, interests, etc. He then said something that caught Y/N's attention, but his eyes never met the child's.

"So, I take it that you have been having 'difficult' time lately?" He asked. Y/N looked at him with an unreadable expression, shoving their hands into their pockets. (If you have any.)

"Well... I don't think I would call it 'difficult.' I would rather say.." Y/N paused, thinking of the right word to describe their current situation. "Strange and complicating." They finished, making the Mayor finally pry his eyes away from in front of him to look at Y/N with a curious expression.

"Oh, do tell."

"It's hard to explain." Y/N looked down at their shoes. "I just don't know what to do. Something big is coming, and I don't think I'm ready for it. Physically or mentally."

"Of course you're not." Y/N flinched at the deep voice, looking towards the Mayor, but he wasn't there. In fact, no one was there. The market was completely abandoned. Y/N panicked and started to hyperventilate. Hands then covered their eyes from behind, paralyzing them. "Me and my Lady have been busy preparing for creating a new world. A word that's perfect. We also have preparing for you, Y/N. You have so much potential. It's sad that it's being wasted with those you call your friends. We will meet again, sooner than you think." He removed his hands from Y/N's eyes, as Y/N gasped for air. The market had returned to it's busy state, but the Mayor was nowhere near.

Y/N immediately turned around and ran. They didn't know why, but they felt they needed to get away from this place. "~N/⅄" Y/N's vision glitched from the abandoned market to reality, their eyes glowing blue when it did. That only encouraged them to run faster. They gripped their head as a large headache started to form the more they heard the sinister voice. "˙sǝɹısǝp sɐɥ ʎpɐl ʎɯ ʇɐɥʍ ǝq uoos llıʍ pɹoʍ sıɥ⊥ ˙ɓuol ɹoɟ ǝpıɥ ʇ,uɐɔ noʎ ʇnq 'ǝʞıl noʎ sɐ ɓuol sɐ ɹoɟ unɹ uɐɔ no⅄ ~N/⅄"

Y/N got weird looked from passersby's, but they didn't care, they needed to get to Pigsy's. Y/N saw the shop around the corner and burst through the entrance, panting heavily as the adrenaline started to wear off.

"Y/N! --- --- okay!" Y/N heard voices yell, but they were muffled because of the intense ringing in their ears. Their legs then gave out, making them fall to the floor, before they were caught by MK. The only thing they heard were their panicked screams, before falling unconscious.
