tw: implied smut
y/n sat patiently. the couch in schlatts house never felt more uncomfortable. she didn't know how to feel. she'd been thinking about what to say for the past hour- while waiting for him to get home. with each click of the clock y/n became more eager. -then the jingling of keys rattled against the outside of the door, twisting the doorknob and propping it open. y/n's stomach fluttered. heavy footsteps stepped up closer and schlatt stood in the doorway, his head down.
"schlatt...?" she whispered. his breathing was heavy, fists clenched, then unclenched at the soft sound of her voice. he sighed, knowing what was coming. "why did you do that...?" she mumbled, standing up from her seat and stepping up closer to schlatt, trying to get a look at his face- to examine his expression. He just shrugged, closing the door behind him and facing away from her- he couldn't bare to see her sadness.
"i love you, y/n" he whispered.
"schlatt...- this isn't right..." y/n felt like her head was spinning. she wasn't on anyone's side- however she was the closest person to schlatt, which inevitably made her closer to schlatts side.
"i have to do what's best for manberg..." he replied, pain so obviously tightening around his heart. he hated defying her, he hated making her sad-or upset.
"schlatt..." she whispered. his name in her mouth made him shiver, it made this even more painful. "what you're doing... it's wrong- and... i cant stand besides you anymore...not with this" hot tears started to form in y/n's eyes. schlatt began to clench his fists again...he dropped his head down, tears spilling down his face.
"you can't leave-" he choked. "if you go- i won't have anyone" y/n frowned, she wasn't really going to leave, she didn't even know why she had said that, it just hurt him.
"schlatt...i-" her voice cracked, she didn't know what to say- suddenly he had collapsed down to his knees, hugging y/n's waist, his face buried in her abdomen.
"please don't go-" he sobbed, sniffling and pawing at her waist. y/n had never seen him like this- so vulnerable and broken- she felt more tears swelling in her eyes. "don't leave..." he whimpered. she felt so awful-
"i won't! i won't leave you!" she cried, falling down to his level, "i would never" she whispered, running her hands through his hair and whipping the tears off his cheeks, "i love you" she warmly smiled at him. he pulled her closer to him, peppering kisses all over her face and jaw, and neck.
"you have to stay out of this- there's people...they would want to hurt me and-if they knew about us... you'd be the perfect target-" he mumbled, y/n frowned,
"i thought you said-"
"i can't" he mumbled painfully, "you're too special to me, i cant lose you" the words made y/n's stomach turn and twist-
"schlatt you promised- things would be better...is this really better?" she whimpered, he frowned-
"yes, it may not seem good now but...sometimes the ends justify the means" he gently pushed a few lose strands of y/n's hair behind her ear. she looked down, pondering for a moment, then- she nodded. schlatt never felt more relieved in his life- he cupped the sides of her face, pressing long, rough kisses on her lips, savoring every nerve and every flavor. schlatts love language was quite obviously- touch. grabbing and tugging at every curve, gently nipping at her soft lips until they were sore. he sighed into the kiss- tugging at her waist again, and massaging her love handles. y/n hummed into his kiss, schlatt could lose himself in this girl- "fuck-" he sighed, pulling away. she frowned,
"what's wrong...?" she whispered,
"we have to go, i came to get you..." he mumbled disappointedly.
"where are we going...?" she mumbled.
"a new house- its protected, special for the president" he smirked, y/n pondered,
"but i like your house" she whined,
"it's not safe... i need to keep you safe" he hummed, stroking her hair. she nodded,
"like a white house?"
"exactly-" he smiled, stroking her hair again. "please come with-" y/n nodded in agreement- causing schlatt to smile again. he held his hand out, she obliged happily, following him upwards. "c'mon" he pulled her forwards.
