Now without further ado, let's begin
Adam was never one to drink, even if offered he would always refuse saying he must always be ready for anything so this brought up a great surprise to Junior to see White Fang's top assassin sitting by the bar in his club drinking several bottles of rum, gin and whisky next to him "Hey I thought you didn't drink" Junior said as he walked up to him and sat on the stool next to him
"I don't" Adam replied dully taking quick shot of rum and poured himself another shot as the barkeep was too scared of him because of his deadly reputation of being White Fang's top agent. . . that and he just recently stabbed a drunkard to death that tried to get a little too friendly with him
"Really now I would never have guessed, I must be imagining everything that's happening right now because right now I see you gulping down shots like there is no tomorrow, yup all this is just in my head" Junior said with sarcasm laced with every word
"Ha. Ha. very funny" Adam said dryly as he took another shot of rum "I'm trying to forget" Adam said solemnly
"Uh huh" was all Junior said as scratched his head trying to understand what he meant but was distracted as he noticed blood on the floor "*sigh* did you just kill someone in my club. . . again. Seriously do you know how bad that is for business" Junior said pointing to the blood as Adam just waved him off
"It was just some drunkard trying to make a pass at me and don't worry I had your assistant, what's her name Melony or something, drag his corpse out before people even noticed" Adam said waving it off as nothing important as he gulped down another shot
"Oh well it's not like that drunkard probably had a family or something that, oh~ I don't know WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE FUCK HE IS" Junior scream out as Adam just shrugged and took another shot of rum. Junior just sighed trying figure out why he's like this to help him or in his thoughts "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CLUB" Junior sighed as he started to worrying that Adam would murder everyone in the club in cold blood . . . again
That day was not a pretty picture to cover up especially since tons of bystanders recorded him and Blake murdering everyone and posting it online. . . well recorded Adam murdering everyone as Blake was trying to stop as she was crying a little at what he's doing. He still remembers how Adam was laughing maniacally as he slaughtered everyone to pieces causing him to shudder at the memory.
It was then as if someone flipped a switch a light went off in his head when he remembered his partner is around anymore "Ah~ I get it, you're like this cause Blake ran away from you isn't it" Junior said as Adam wished he'd just shut up and leave him alone but being an idiot as Junior is continued
"You shouldn't worry you'll find another girl begging to be with you. You know how most girls are about the bad boy type" Junior said chuckling a bit not noticing Adams discomfort
"It's not like that, I knew her since I was a kid. No can ever replace her" Adam said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"you sure I mean there are a lot of hot girls here I could Introduce you to" Junior said as he wiggled his brows in emphases as Adam just looked at him dryly
"I'm not "you" Junior, I can't just forget my troubles with some whore" Adam said as he scoffed at Junior's offer and chugged down another shot.
"Come now it'll get rid of all of that stress your feeling" Junior said as he thought "And it'll probably stop you from murdering everyone that gets near you" Adam just sighed and shook his head
"Sorry but no, it won't get rid of this irritated feeling I have" Adam said as he lowered his head and unconsciously clutched at his heart
"Ah~ your probably just sad because you never got the chance to fuck h-" *click* Junior stopped talking as he looked down to see Adam's shotgun sheath was pointing directly at his crotch
"I suggest that you start shutting up and leave me the fuck alone if you ever want to have Juniors of your own" Adam said with intense malice in his voice as his finger was twitching on the trigger wanting to shoot him badly.
"Alright alright I'll leave you alone, "You don't have to an ass about it" Junior said as he got up raised his hands in peace and walked away as he muttered the last part, only for Adam to hear it due to his faunus traits
"What was that" Adam said malice pooling out him as his body started glowing an eerily red from his aura as he grabbed the hilt Blush and pulled it out enough for the blade to glint in the light
"Nothing" Junior said quickly fear evident in his voice as he ran as fast as he can to leave Adam to alone to his self wallowing in peace
Adam sheathed his blade and solemnly went back to his drink, spending the next few hours trying to ignore all these feelings he's having that's been tugging at his heart. The empty feeling he had was causing him to remember the times he had no one in his life and then he started remembering all the times he been with Blake with not a care in the world, only joy and laughter from the first day they met.
~Flashback~
Adam was always alone because of his faunus heritage, always being shunned by the townsfolk and his fellow children but he gotten use to this since the day his parents were murdered right in front of him for just being alive. That day always haunted him as always wondered if he could've done anything to stop it but it always came out the same, nothing he could do could change the outcome of that day and he accepted that this world is cruel and no one would care for him.
Adam sat under the sole tree that stood up at the top of the hill that overlooked the town he was born in that hated his existence with a passion, everyday he would go up the hill to get away from everyone from shunning him so he could have some peace
"Another day gone by and another day of being considered a freak of nature. It's not my fault I was born like this" Adam thought as he sighed inwardly as he close his eyes to get some sleep since the bed they gave him in the orphanage was technically a bed of needles but he couldn't complain for it was better than being locked out at night in the cold which they would do if he doesn't get back for curfew. . again.
he was about to fall asleep until he heard someone walking up the dirt path up the hill. He turn his head and noticed a girl his age wearing a black purplish dress, black shoes, and a small black bow on her head, the one thing that went through Adams mind was "she must really like black"
"Mind if I sit here" the girl asked softly as she walked up to him with a bright smile on her face
"what, you don't want to make fun of me or call me a freak of nature" Adam said harshly with a scowl on his face as he pointed to his horns to make a point but the girl just shook her head as she kept on smiling
What the girl did next surprised him as the girl removed her bow to reveal a pair of small dainty cat ears "If I do, would you do the same to me" the girl said quietly not taking her eyes off him . Adam was speechless realizing the girl was a faunus like him
"As you can tell I'm a cat faunus so are my parents and because we're cat faunus' it's real easy for us to hide our traits. . except for my dad, he had to figure how to hide his tail seeing as it has a mind of its own most of the time" the girl explained with a quiet giggle thinking of past events as she put her bow back on and gave him a dainty smile
Adam smiled back at her as he shook his head as he scooted over to let the girl sit next to him. The girl sat down next to him taking out a book and began reading. The two stayed as they were for a while as they enjoyed the peace with each others presence
"What's the book about" Adam asked breaking the silence eyeing the book black and grey cover
"It's about a dark knight and a princess of twilight kingdom who fell in love with each other at first sight" the girl replied not looking up from the book as Adam nodded not really interested in love stories
"Ah well that's intere-" Adam was saying as the girl cut him off
"But it could never be, because her father the king did not approve of her relationship of being with the knight and not a of noble of another kingdom that he wanted her to be with, so he had him executed in front of her to teach her lesson to not disobey his orders but the princess who was in immense grief at the lost of her one true love slit her own throat ending her life so she could be with him forever in the next life, when her father learn of this he had a heart attack from the guilt he was feeling and as he was passing on he saw his daughter truly happy with knight and smiled sadly before being pulled into the pits of hell by the devil himself forever being tormented for what he done" the girl said incredibly quick as she finally stopped to catch her breath
Adam just stared at her with his mouth agape at what she just said 'By the dust, what kind of parents allow her to read such horrid books, I'm actually more amazed how she isn't homicidal . . . yet' Adam thought seriously as he kept on staring at her as the girl soon noticed his staring
"W-whats with that look I like these kinds of story okay" The girl said with a pout "Sure I'm okay with happy endings buts these for me are much more interesting and fun to read" the girl said quietly as she hid her head behind the book Adam continued to stare "C-could you stop staring at me its embarrassing" the girl said starting to get flustered at the attention
Adam stopped staring at her and started laughing loudly feeling something he never felt in a long time, Happiness "H-hey would you stop laughing at me whats so funny" the girl yelled at him slightly stuttering as her face was entirely red of embarrassment
"Its nothing my name's Adam it's nice to meet you" Adam said with a large smile on his face holding down his laughter
"My name is Blake now would you stop laughing at me" Blake said still flustered but with a kind smile as she pushed him and he pushed back as they both started laughing together both knowing they'll be good friends for a long time.
~End of flashback~
Adam somberly swirled his shot of whisky in its glass as he finished all the bottles rum and gin. He remembered their silent promise to be friends forever wishing it could still be but Adam knew, he knew he messed up, that his anger towards how humans treated faunas took control of him and scared her away. Adam finally saw how cold he became towards everyone and how he only cared about revenge on those who mistreat faunas than thinking of what Blake wanted or cared about. He can see it now, how her eyes always pleaded to him to stop and let it go and find peace. It was a miracle he thought that she hadn't left sooner because of all the horrible things he done and forced her to do. It gave him some comfort knowing that she cared enough for his well being to stay all that time and try to be with him.
It was when she cut the train links separating the train carts from another that brought him crashing back into reality from his homicidal tendencies as he could still hear now as she was forcing out that word that brought his world crashing down around him "goodbye"
Right at that moment he knew he could have jumped on the other train cart knock her out and force her to stay but, he knew deep down in his heart that it would be wrong to force her to stay
So. . he let her go. Watching as her figure fade away in the distance as he was still able to noticed a single tear sliding down her face with her shoulders shaking with sobs. He knew she didn't want to leave him all alone but she didn't want to stay as she needed to go on and let the past lie and go on into the ever changing and constant future even if it meant it was without him.
He watch as she faded away in the distance that marked the day as a realization to him. . . what has he become to make his only friend, the only person in the entire world that he cared about, the only person he 'Loved' to be so scared of him so badly to leave him.
A single tear went down his face as silent sobs followed closely by as it was drowned out by the loud techno music of the Junior's club where everyone is with their friends and family having fun, people who cared for them dearly, while he just sat there all alone no one giving a damn about him either avoiding him or shunning him for being different.
It slowly came to him slowly but hard as he realized that he's going back to the world he tried to leave as a child. A world that no cared about him and hated him for who he is before he met Blake. A world where everyone is happy. . everyone except him, just sad and alone with no to be with. Adam he knew, he knew he forced himself back to this world and that he deserves this sad fate for all that he done.
He continued to cry silent sobs for the rest of the night knowing it's his fault, his fault that shes gone, his fault that hes alone, his fault. . for not noticing how much she meant to him now that she's gone.
