I based it off this song. It's an original by LittleJayneyCakes and covered by Lollia. I really liked it so I though why not make one of my one-shots like this? So here you go~! ^^
Headcannon: Ray and Ethan have know each other since they were young, both of them training in the castle.
Ethan...I never meant to call you out on this, I knew it might happen but I didn't want to believe it. Everything that you and I have been through. All the stupid shit we'd do as kids; playing pranks on the king to just hanging out together, it was always us.
To this day, I can seen beyond the smoke and false mirrors you've put up around you. Yet, you still think I can't see a thing.
And here you are, trying to yell at me like a dog. Your eyes glued to me and anger flashing in them.
"Why?! What did she ever do to you, Ray?! Marget has done nothing to you!" he yelled.
If you only knew. That princess was always stealing you away from me, giving me dirty looks, and treating me like some peasant. She was so spoiled by her father—it hurt to know that she was even related to the king, who was always nice to all and treated everyone with respect and kindness.
Marget always hated me.
"It really wasn't hard too see the truth that rots underneath her little princess act, Ethan." I answered, "You've hurt me more then anyone else has. Why weren't you honest from the start?"
"What?" His face turned confused. "What are you talking about, Ray?"
I placed a hand on my chest, near my heart. I placed my hand with knife down. "You know...I've always know she liked you. But, she's just a temptress, don't you know?" I walked over to the fainted—in truth she already was bleeding to death from the cut I had given her earlier—Marget and looked towards Ethan. "She'll say she loves even though all she wants is your soul. She breaks heart–I've seen it."
I wasn't lying about that. I've seen her with countless men. Each of the at their knees begging for her to take them back and how they'll do anything for her. Marget's response was cutting their heads off with her sword, taking the head to her room in the basement, and bring the body.
"I'll save you from her..." I looked over to him.
"I don't need saving! I love her and she loves me!" Ethan pulled against the ropes, trying to free himself and reach for his sword. "I don't know anything about this 'soul' thing, but I don't care! Marget loves me and that's finally!"
I could feel my heart slowly breaking. "Didn't you say we'd always be friends, Ethan?" My fingers ran over the table Marget was laying on. He seemed to freeze in place.
"Yes...I did."
"And that we'd get married when we both got older?" I look over to him, "I'd never heard those words from anybody before, you made me long for something more..." My fingers tugging against Marget's pink hair. "But then she tried to steal you love from me."
Ethan stared at me. The way he looked at me was really staring to get on my nerves.
"What's with that look? Do you think I'm really out of line here?" I pulled her head up and slammed—without realizing—her head on the table. He called her name loudly. To bad she was pretty much dead, she's been bleeding for hours now. And her breathing is pretty much gone, but she's still alive. I know it. That stupid little heart of hers is still beating.
He kept calling her name, as if he was expecting her to looked towards him.
"Stop calling her name. If you do as I say she may just make it out alive, Ethan." I grinned, "I love you."
His eyes widen in surprise. "How much do you want from me, Ray?" he gulped.
"Oh, I'm not asking much. Just give me your heart." I answer, my grin growing, "And put no one else above. Just go on and say you love me." He seemed taken back for a few second before giving me a straight face. "And take my hands and say that I'll always be the one."
"..." His eyes were glued to me.
"Without you my life means nothing, so just say you love me!" I said. His mouth opened, but I stopped him. "And if you lie, this poor little thing will die!"
I slammed the knife on to the table, nearly hitting Marget's eye. He yelped, as if he were the one on the table. It was then I realized how I've been acting.
"I'm sorry that I lost my cool, Ethan." I motioned over to the hanging dead bodies. His eyes widen, as if he knew what I was going to say. "As you can see, I've been very busy with planning on what to do with Marget."
"Don—"
"I managed to perfectly copy your hand writing and asked her to meet here alone, so we could sort things out."
His eyes widen once again, fear flashing in them. After that, he gave me another looked that bother me.
"Another look? What's with that? You seriously don't think I'm taking this to far do you?" I growled.
"W-What do you want me to do?" His voice nearly cracked.
"Oh, that. All you have to do is swear that you'll be true to me and I'll let her go right now. I'll transport her to her room and she'll have no memory of anything that happened." I grinned sweetly at him. Ethan seemed to ponder about it. "Remember, just don't lie. Her little head is on the line here~"
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He reopen them and stared straight at me, obviously nervous.
"So, what will it be?"
"You!" He shouted, "I love you! Now, please, don't hurt her!"
My heart skipped a beat when he said that. "Really?! I'm so happy to hear that!" I was so happy, my heart could just burst. "Let's get married now! Tonight!"
"W-what?"
I gave a sad look, "You weren't lying to me, were you, Ethan? You love me, don't you?"
"Her and I are already married...we're going to have a family—"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I pulled his sword from the ground. "I...I won't fall for this again! No matted what I'll always seen what's been that smoke and all of those fake mirrors!" I walked back over to the table. "I know you love deep inside...You're just trapped in her lie...So, I'll...Free you."
I stabbed the sword straight in to her chest. I kept stabbing it over and over, the blood stains my clothes and the sword, her rib cage crunching at my power.
Ethan screamed her name over and over, but I could hear anything over my laughing.
I stopped and threw her body off the table and into the other dead bodies. Ethan laid there with tears in his eyes.
"What's the problem? Quit your crying! Be a man!" I screamed, "She didn't mean that much! Let me give you my love!"
He looked up to me surprised and scared. I enjoyed it.
"I'll give you everything! Take my soul, heart, and body! I give it all to you!" I pointed the sword to him, "If you don't accept it, you're gonna regret it!"
"..." he seemed frozen in place. "I...I played your game, why?!"
"Oh, I hate to play these games it always ends with someone dying...But you've driven me insane and I can't take! You forced me to do this because you wouldn't leave her!" I answered, falling to the floor and crying out everything I felt and bottles up. "Won't you tell me that you'll stay with me? Now that she's out of the way?!"
All Ethan did was stare at me. I could tell what his face look like through all my tears, but I'm sure it wasn't something I should worry about. Marget is dead and he's mine now...
Nothing will take him away from me ever again...
