Deadpool x Reader Drabble

      "_______!"  Slowly, you were reunited with your consciousness as you felt a pair of familiar arms lift you gently off the ground. It took quite a bit of work, but you were able to pry your eyes open, and the sight of the black and red suit made you smile. "Took you long enough," you joked weakly as your eyes wandered up to his. He had pulled his mask off, and being able to see his scars gave you a kind of peace that you wouldn't have had otherwise. "Long time no see."

      You had never seen Wade panic before, so his frantic reaction was quite surprising. His eyes were wide and worried, and if the bullet holes in his chest were any indication, he had gone through hell to get here. "You're gonna be okay. I promise." You felt him lift up your left hand and place something weighted on your ring finger and furrowed your eyebrows in confusion. Lifting your hand up to see what he did almost took more strength than you had, but what you saw made it worth it. It was a wedding ring. It was big, and pretty gaudy; obviously insanely expensive; and everything about it screamed Wade Wilson. The sight of it made you smile and the thought that he was trying to make your last moments good ones by pretending that he loved you brought a happy, affectionate laugh to your lips, though the force of it sent a searing pain shooting through your torso. Wade laced the fingers of his right hand with the fingers of your left and kept talking, the worried look never leaving his face. "I promise, I'm gonna get you out of here. And we're gonna have fifty kids and I'll buy the White House and we'll live there until the kids burn it down, and-"

      You struggled not to laugh again as you listened to him and put your hand on his cheek. "Wade. Wade. ... Wade." When he finally realized that you were talking to him, he stopped mid rant and brought his eyes back to yours, worried look still on his face. "What?"

      You smiled a little sadly. "It's okay. You don't have to pretend you love me." He looked absolutely heartbroken at that and his eyes widened in terror as he realized what was happening; that you were slipping away. "What? No! _______, don't you dare."

      You shushed him gently. "It's okay, Wade." A crooked grin stretched across your face as you lowered your hand. "Do me a favor and waste those guys for me, okay?" As your eyes slowly closed and your face relaxed, Wade began to panic. "No! _______! _______!!"

      Nothing made it out of that lab alive. And for the first time in a very long time, Wade cried. He buried you himself, even though it was the hardest thing he had ever done. Your ring he put on a chain and attached to the hilt of one of his swords; so that no matter how long he lived or how much he forgot, he would always remember you.
