I never felt nothing in the world like this before

Now I'm missing you, and I'm wishing you would come back through my door

Ooh-ooh

Why did you have to go? (Go)

You could have let me know (know)

So now, I'm all alone (ooh-ooh)

- Wait for you by Elliot Yamin

---

It was a lonely afternoon and you were taking a like-minded stroll to calm your mind after a gruelling day. You had been working at home, filing out paperworks and listening to mad voices screech down the telephone like demons, demanding their rent to be paid. Your job put you under a lot of stress as incidents of collateral damage were increasingly high due to The Seven's heroic efforts. The one thing that could take her mind off things was the warm memory of being in Black Noir's company. It had been two weeks since you last saw him, his kind gesture of giving you breakfast in bed was still a timeless memory that played in your head like a movie you had loved all your life.

It was hard to keep track of Noir these days, he was either carrying out missions for Vought or attending civil meetings with his fellow supes. You couldn't stop thinking about him, the mere mention of his name making your heart swirl. He treated you with so much kindness and sincerity and made sure you were safe. He made whatever time he could to visit you and he would always bring you gifts to keep you content. The last time you saw him, he gave you a giant teddy bear carrying a red heart in its colossal cuddly arms. He showered you with notes of praise and words, even sending letters to you from time to time to keep tabs with you on how your day was going. You felt joy swell through your heart as you heard about his many adventures, his exploits in the superhero world and of course how much he missed you. They were always short and sweet, but they conveyed so much of his humanity. Every night, you would smuggle into the teddy bear and imagine you were holding Noir in a quiet embrace, the world going quiet around the two of you. You just wished you could see him again, so he could take away the emptiness inside of you.

You had known this park all too well, it was significant for hosting many Homelander pep rallies. You used to walk your dog around here, it was the very place where he lost his life to a stray bullet. His name was Felix and he was a small bichon frise, a ball of energy who used to bring you nothing but comfort when you were getting adjusted to city life. His death came as a crushing blow to you, as the first person who comforted you and showed sympathy for your loss was Black Noir, who had just apprehended the gunman with lethality. At that moment, all of the intimidation and stoicism he presented in battle was instead replaced by a genuine concern and overwhelming amount of guilt. He helped you bury Felix and hugged you tightly, trying so desperately to ease your pain. On that day, Noir vowed to keep you safe and watched over you as he didn't want someone like you to be lonesome. The grief was unnerving, you would always have dreams of that day, having to watch over and over as your precious Felix was taken from you. But the one thing that kept you going amid all of that heartache, was Black Noir's spirit. You always felt his presence watching over you and it brought you more security and tranquility. You would do anything to savour in his light again.

You walked further into the park's majestic canopy when you laid eyes on something you never expected, something your heart wasn't ready for. You don't know if your mind was playing tricks on you but Black Noir was standing right there, observing the beautiful nature around him. He looked alone, like a deer staring into headlights. You thought he may have been on a secret mission of some sort as he appeared as quiet and stoic as usual. Some citizens had noticed him, yelling his name like spectors at the super bowl. Your heart was telling you to approach him, to catch up with him after weeks apart. Maybe he was always destined to meet you here.

"Noir!" You yelled, running towards him with open arms as Noir stopped in his tracks, staring at you with a look that could only be described as adoration. You couldn't tell by his mask but he seemed like a lost puppy everytime his eyes yours. There may have been fans pestering him, but you were the only one Noir was willing to talk to. "Hey, it's good to see you. It's been weeks." You couldn't help but smile in his presence, overjoyed to see your masked suitor once again. Noir waved at you like a child at a baseball game, radiating nothing but warmth as you came by. He took his notepad and began to write.

It's good to see you too

"How are you, it feels like I haven't seen you for god knows how long." You said, happy to catch up with the masked supe. Black Noir chose to write his response rather than talk about it out loud. He wasn't the type to use words and you respected that.

Out with The Seven. Doing missions.

He flipped a page, beginning to scribble neatly. He was writing more messages.

How are you?

"I'm just taking each day in stride, you know" You said, assuring him that you were in a good place now. The two began to stroll around the park, admiring the warm sun and the beauty the park had to offer. You must of been talking too much, conversing about the rest of the day with him as he just admired your face longingly, glad to see it captured by the afternoon light.

"So do you like coming here?" You asked, your voice gentle and considerate. Noir bobbed his head to the question.

I come here to patrol, but I'm too busy to go to the park. I wish I could come here more.

"I guess being a superhero comes with its perks, right."

Noir nodded in agreement, the two of you walking in sync like a married couple. You could see the way he admired the park, of how he longed to be normal, to be happy. He never got to do any of these things because of his obligations to The Seven. Maybe one day with you could change that.

"Hey, there is a nice bench over there by the lake. Since you don't come here a lot, I thought I could give you a view to look at." You said as Noir's face lit up, wanting to take some time to rest.

"I would love that ♡" he wrote, a little heart drawing at the end of his words as he cared about you so much.

The two of you sat at the park bench, staring at the flowing river as the sun shone down on them. There were citizens taking a stroll, kids playing ball or walking their dogs. There was swans swimming in the lake, being fed breadcrumbs by a elderly couple, walking hand in hand. They reminded you so much of you and Noir, of how their bond could transcend into something more. You was falling more in love with the ninja hero and couldn't stop thinking about him. He was the remedy that would heal your empty heart.

Noir began to write on his notepad, passing on messages to you as a way of formal communication, his devotion to you souring in every action he does.

Are you doing okay?

You let out a cold breath of shuddering air before you spoke, the pain of losing Felix still haunting you. You would give anything to see her beloved dog again, anything.

I'm getting better. It's just hard with him not being here. Life without Felix....." You could feel a lump form in your throat, your tear ducts becoming wet. You watched as citizens walked their dogs and played fetch with them, a living reminder of what she'd lost. "It sucks..." Noir just sat there, hand to his heart as he didn't like to see you overcome with such sorrow. You may have sat a distance apart but your eyes still met, unable to look away from their barred souls.

I'm sorry about Felix. I wished I could have saved him.

"You keep apologising, but it isn't your fault. It was that son of a bitch who thought shooting a dog would bring him satisfaction. I know it didn't...but..." You could feel the anger seethe through you, trying your best not to sound bitter towards Noir. You had sat there, crying over Felix's dead body as he stabbed the gunman to death.

"You know that feeling you get when you feel empty and you try so hard to repair that hole inside you?"

Yes. All the time.

Noir's honesty came as a punch to the gut. You never would have known someone concealed by a mask would be so lonely inside. Noir has always hid himself from the world, no one knew what was thinking or if he had a heart. But here he was, being sincere to you about his struggles and the pain he endured through his long career.

"I just feel lonely all the time. Being with you....knowing that you are watching over me, I just know there's someone out there and that's you Noir..."

Noir looked at you for a moment, almost frozen in time as he was taken aback by your tender confession. He took his notepad and began to write a message.

I felt alone once. No one ever cared for me. I hid my face behind a mask I hated. But meeting you...you make me feel better about myself.

You were touched by his statement, hit with the realisation that you and Noir had so much in common. Butterflies entered your stomach at the thought of Noir being just like you, of having to deal with the very loneliness that turned your heart into a void. He understood you better than most. He would protect until the ends of the earth.

You don't know what feeling took over you that moment, but you pulled Noir into a hug, finding safety and comfort in his embrace.

"Thank you Noir!" You exclaimed happily.

Black Noir didn't expect such sincerity from you, stiff as a board as he wasn't sure how to show you comfort. He eventually fell into your touch, patting you in the back as a way of showing affection. He cared about with every fibre of being he had, even if he was the silent type. You could see that he was forever devoted away from you.

You eventually broke free from the hug, sitting beside each other and offering comfort. The slience between the two was palpable, carrying an unspoken connection as you were lost in your own thoughts. You wondered what your life would be like if Noir filled that hole inside you, of what a life being under his watchful eye would be like. Being parted from him those two weeks was difficult, you couldn't relive those days again. You wanted to be at his side from this moment forward.

"Noir, I've been thinking....would you like to move in with me. I need someone in my life and that person is you."

Noir was taken aback at first by that question, staring into your eyes with nothing but generosity and suprise. He nodded his head with a diligent yes and began to write on his notepad. You sat there curiously, wondering what he'd say. You hoped it was something meaningful.

Yes. I will do anything for you. I will stay with you until your loneliness goes away.

You smiled earnestly, filled with joy to see Noir accept your proposal. You could see the happiness radiating from him, the way he lit up when he gazed into your eyes, the childlike innocence he showed when you offered him a place to stay with her, you meant the world to him and he didn't want to leave you cast astray. A life with Noir was bound to be the one thing that would make your life even brighter...
