The Boot Shiner (Destiny OCs x Male Reader)

Chapter 15: A-Mox-A-Pain

WE NEED TO CHECK IN ON MOX...

WE REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED, YES?

How am I even capable of such a mistake? Y/N doesn't deserve to be around me after pulling something like that, that's how bad I fucking sold it. You choked, Mox; you are a fucking dope. All that research, and for what, for him to think I'm some creep?

If you were a real warlock, you would forget about him now. Why are you still thinking about him? You're not telling me you LIKE him? Like that form of LIKE... a mortal, a man who can't even walk. Someone who's not going to be around long enough to love. He's just like Eriana-3, Toland, Malphur, Fireteam Tuyet, those three Iron Lords... Week after week, turmoil in your head... and for what?

All who you catch feels for... those you become friends with... THEY ARE NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN...

They die, they disappear, they are lost to time, they burn... slowly... like Y/N and others... The more you feel the worse it gets... that's why he has cancer, and he's forced to die slowly...

Face it, Mox, no matter how much you try, how much you mess up trying to win their hearts, what's even the point? Your desire to be by their side only starts a timer. The Traveler doesn't want you to love because that isn't your duty as a guardian. It shouldn't have taken you since the Late City Age to realize it. Years and years... Even the Y/N before him, you tried...

Now I see why Ikora has become so distant, quiet, and always looking towards the stars during the night. Does she value every relationship she's a part of, just like I do?

Chase, Serenity... these two have been my fireteam for a rather long time.

One revived by a ghost in the Cosmodrome, just like me, almost in the same spot too. Raised by Cayde-6 to greatness, and... rumors said she fell in love with him, but that could be a stretch. Those who mention gossip like that nowadays are still only jealous she got to keep the Ace of Spades, his hand cannon. She killed Uldren Sov, who shouldn't have a second chance at life, but was deemed one anyway by his ghost.

Some still see Crow as Cayde's killer, her included, but now she admires Crow's ability to make amends for what Uldren has done in his past life. There isn't much to be said about Chase, because that's the most monumental thing she did along with our journey to the Pale Heart. Crow and Cayde even helped her forge a sniper rifle, or... I don't really know how she got it... the Still Hunt.

When she saw Cayde again, she nearly lost it. He nearly lost it, which makes those rumors seem true, but now we'll never know. I asked her if they kissed again, and she didn't answer, not even a peep.

The other, who was known by a different name, Aqua-16, who has seen many battles, and was revived also in the Cosmodrome, but raised by Y/N, the warlock. Falling in love with Y/N, she grew even more protective of him, just like how she is now with us. Her desire to keep Y/N away from all harm was her downfall... Serenity-1, in most cases, is a dead person walking. Giving the blind ogre a distraction when fighting Kovik, the Fallen monster that she named her ghost after when she woke up again, she was crushed to death.

I respect her wishes and deepest desires to find a cure for the artist Y/N's illness. She too was brought back to life in a peak of desperation from those who cared about her. One thing Y/N did before bringing her back to life was helping with the Deep Stone Crypt, clearing the way so a team could go in and raid the place. We had a very short window to make Exos, and we did.

Serenity-1 was born, reset, then born again, which is what the 1 meant. She has no memories of being Aqua, but she dreams of Aqua every night...

Y/N, nobody knows what happened to him after his signal went dark on Venus. The guardian Y/N, that is. Rumors say he's off in another world, another dimension, or that the elements of the Vault of Glass killed him, like he had a power overload.
