Summary: decorating for the hollidays and making cookies with Ej
Word count: 1.0k
Warnings: fluff
Feeling the gentle poking of a finger on your cheek forces you to awaken from your dream. Frowning your eyebrows as the poking continues, you finally open your eyes. The sunlight beams through the closed curtains, basking the room in a warm morning glow, though the room had a slight chill to it. Looking up, you see your boyfriend standing over you with a fond look on his face as he keeps his finger pressed to your cheek. "good morning baby" he smiles, then replacing his poking finger with his palm, smoothing his thumb across your cheek tenderly.
"i made breakfast" he explains as you stretch your arms upward, blinking the sleep away from your eyes "did you?" You question as you sit up, sleep still evident in your expression. He laughs at your appearance "yes I did" he pulls at your hand gently to help you stand to your feet "its getting cold! come on" slipping into your slippers, you let him lead you into the kitchen where the plated food rests on the table "I made your plate already. Let me know if you want more"
While the both of you are eating, the topic of your conversation moves to decorating your shared apartment for the hollidays "i was thinking we could decorate the apartment today?" Ej says as he takes his last bite of his breakfast and stands up to wash his plate in the sink. "We could get out the tree and fun Christmas lights!" He says excitedly, hoping you'd say yes. You smile as you pick up your empty plate and walk to where hes looming over the sink "id love to decorate with you" your reply makes him beam, excited to spend the day together.
Helping Ej get out the packed away Christmas boxes from the storage closet in the hallway was tough work, when did you get so many Christmas decorations? Ej sets the large box down with a huff, then takes a seat on the floor next to you and cracks the lid open "it seems we are in for a long day" he rests his hand on your thigh as a smile frames his face. You both look over the ornaments and the green tree thats stuffed tightly into the cardboard boxes, huffing a delighted sigh "let the festivities begin!"
~♡~
Chrismas music plays lowly throughout the shared space as both you and ej are stacking ornaments onto the green leaves, working your way around the tree. "Its looking so good!" He takes a step back to admire the work you two did, the small lights wrapped around the tree shining onto the near by walls, making it seem magical. his smile widens as he turns to you "want to do the honors of putting the star on the tree?" His hand dives into the box to find the large sparkling star. Pulling it out, he walks over to you and hands you the decoration.
You smile and turn to the tree, leaning in to put it on. until you feel arms wrap around your middle "here, let me help you" theres a teasing tone to his voice as he lifts you up, his face pressed to your back as his hold tightens. Rolling your eyes, you place the star onto the top of the tree delicately. "I definitely could've reached it on my own you know" the tips of his ears turn pink as he laughs "its a tall tree! I wanted to make sure you were able to reach it"
He places you down onto your feet, and spins you around to face him. His hands never leave your waist, as his thumb rubs slow circles under the hem of your shirt onto your skin. "I like decorating with you" you say as you gaze into his eyes with a soft smile. His cheeks burn as he looks down to avoid eye contact "you like being festive with little old me?" He jokes, making you laugh and nod.
"I like doing anything with you" he replies as he looks up to you, taking in your features before leaning in for a kiss. Its sweet and full of love, warmth radiating off of him as he now fully wraps his arms around your frame. Leaning back slightly, he kisses your cheek sweetly, before whispering "do you want to make cookies instead of finishing decorating?" With a cheaky smile. "Oh? Where's the festive motivation gone?" You tease with a smirk. He whines "please? my back is starting to hurt" he rests his head on your shoulder, knowing you'll give into his whines. Rolling your eyes once again "fine"
He giggles in delight as he drags you back into the kitchen. He stops at the fridge and pulls out a already made cookie dough packet "i see we aren't making it from scratch" you deadpan. He laughs before replying "of course we aren't. who do you think we are? I don't think we even have flour right now" you join his laughter, then snatch the cookie dough packet out from his hands to check the oven settings on the back.
~♡~
"Don't touch them! they haven't cooled down yet!" You hold ej back from taking a baked cookie from the cooling tray "this is torture! They smell so good" hes practically drooling while he sits down on the dinning table chair with a pout. Sitting on his lap quickly makes him stop pouting, his hands going to your waist and thigh, tugging you closer to him. "I had fun today" he says before he kissing your shoulder affectionately. "Me too" looking out to the living room and seeing the unopened boxes of decorations sitting next to the finished Christmas tree.
"So when are we gonna finish decorating the rest of the house?" You ask. He shushed you with a kiss on the lips "we don't have to talk about that" you lean back
"But the boxes will be in the way-" he cuts you off with kissing you more deeply while putting his hand onto your cheek "Shhhh" he shushes you once again "oh look the cookies are done cooling! Let's eat!" You laugh and stand up from his lap to check the cookies "Procrastination final boss"

Summary: you and seungmin play in the snow on his day off and build a cat snowman :3
Word count: 1.2k
Warnings: none
Wrapping your scarf around your neck whilst looking into the mirror you deemed yourself ready to go out. It's seungmin's day off so you both decided it would be a great time to have a day out to yourselves. Walking out to the living room, you spot seungmin sitting on the couch ready to go out "what took you so long?" he whines but has a small smile on his face letting you know he's only teasing
"don't be a baby" you laugh as he stands up and walks closer "you look nice today" he wraps his arms around your waist and kisses your cheek gently "thank you" you giggle as he continues to kiss your cheek multiple times just to annoy you "okay enough you big puppy! let's go out" you take his hand and head for the door. He picks up his keys from the decorated glass dish on the table in the hallway leading to the door.
As you open the door you both realize the drizzle of snowflakes coming from the sky "it's snowing!" Seungmin exclaimed in excitement and rushes out the door pulling you along with him out into the cold. "Wait your gonna make us slip!" you laugh loudly as he excitedly barrels down the slippery stairs. Stepping out into the snow you take a breath of fresh cold air. It fills your lungs and you can see your breath coming out "I'll drive" seungmin states "since I drive better" you roll your eyes at his comment, he just doesn't want you to crash in the icy roads.
Even though it's a Saturday, theres not many people on the roads. They must of known it was going to snow. Seungmin puts a comforting hand on your thigh "I'm glad we are going out today. Just us" his eyes are still on the road but he has a soft smile on his face. You rest your hand on his "Me too. I always love spending time with you" you notice his ears turn slightly pinker then normal.
Arriving at the large park seungmin's car comes to a stop and he turns off the engine "ready to go?" You nod and step outside the car, circling it to meet him on the other side. Interlocking hands you now make your way down the snowy path. You notice his nose is starting to turn a light pink from the cold "aw your nose is turning pink" you lean in to give him a kiss on the nose taking him off guard "uh..." his nose and cheeks turn a darker pink but it isn't from the cold this time. You laugh and continue walking, which drags him along since you two are still interlocking hands.
Snapping out of his puppy love daze he picks up his speed to catch up to you "unnecessary..." he mumbles but has a smile on his face. "Let's make a snowman!" You yell out and let go of his hand so you can run off the path into a snowy clearing "come help me make frob the snowman" you start rolling snow to make his lower body "frob?" He has a confused look on his face "that's his name. duh" you stop rolling the snow to look at seungmin with sass
"what kind of name is frob" he puts a hand on his hip to mimic your sass "don't question just come help me!" Seungmin laughs and walks closer, picking up some uneven sticks along the way for frob the snowman's arms.
You both move side by side to roll the snow into the shape of his torso and lifting it up to set it on top of the bottom. Roughly Making his head, you begin to give him cat ears "cat ears!" Seungmin giggles out once he sees them "we should give him a tail!" He starts making a tail Shape out of snow "frob the furry snowman" you write into the snow below him "yes be who you are frob" you shove seungmin as he laughs "put his arms and face on" After building the snowman you both admire your work "he's beautiful" his eyes seems to be drooping in different directions but he's perfect to both you and seungmin.
You both continue down the snowy path in a comfortable silence. Enjoying each others presence and the chill in the air. Until seungmin breaks it "we should make snow angels" he casually suggests "oh good idea!" You once again take off running into the snow "wait for me!" He laughs as he tries to catch up to you. Halting to a stop, You fall back into the snow and seungmin stands over you
"well? Make a snow angel" he waves his hand for you to start "I was waiting on you so we could do it together" he rolls his eyes with a smirk and falls down into the snow. As your doing snow angels, the already falling snow begins to pick up and start coming down faster then before, making your hair slightly damp "it's snowing so hard now!" You both get up and start making a run for the car as you both laugh loudly trying not to stumble on the snow.
Hopping into the car seungmin starts to engine to get the heater going "we didn't even get to see our snow angels" you jokingly pout at him as He incases both of your hands with his and pulls them up to the heater "why didn't we wear gloves?" He rubs his thumb across your hand trying to heat them up.
You both arrived home now exhausted from the cold and activities you did today. Once inside you start Taking off your layers and you both head to the bathroom for a warm shower together. Once out of the shower, you both get into a fresh pare of pj's "you can pick the movie this time" he says as he applies your skincare to your face for you "and I'll make hot chocolate for us while you choose" this makes you smile and plant a sweet peck on his lips "okay I'll pick a nice one".
Setting up the couch with pillows and blankets just to your liking, you begin to choose the movie you and seungmin will watch. You start to smell the chocolate drink he was making and hear him lightly hum a tune. a warm soft feeling in your chest just from him being in your vicinity. Just as you have chosen a movie he enters the room with two mugs in his hand and sets one in your hands
"I put extra marshmallows in yours" he makes you taste yours to make sure it's how you like it before he tries his "you choose the grinch out of all movies?" He teases "don't be a hater" you set your mug down and pull him to lay down on your chest which he happily abides and snuggles into your neck "I had a fun time today" he mumbles into your neck "me too" he lifts his head to kiss you and you kiss him back. He breaks the kiss to gaze into your eyes with a soft love sick expression.
He leans up and kisses you on your nose "payback" he says quietly and grins with the same love sick expression.
This was a repost! Last year I made a boynextdoor snow day fanfic and it completely flopped. So I revamped it and made it into a seumgmin fanfic instead :]

Summery: What lives in the old dark castle high up in the mountains? Waking up in said cold castle after a wolf attack makes you find out.
Word count: 6.2k
Warnings: Nicolas has wings, wolves attacks reader, wounds (wolf bites), angst and fluff mixed but ends in fluff, bad grammar, SLIGHTLY suggestive
The cold air hits your face when you step outside your small cabin, taking a deep breath your lungs fill with ice. you're already missing the warmth your cozy cabin brought you durning this unforgiving winter. Closing and locking the door, you make your way through the snow and into the forest surrounding your home. Its been a tough winter this year, supplies was low and harder to obtain. the village not far from your cabin was struggling the most. Sighing as you clutch your basket.
Today you were going foraging to find what you could, which wasn't much considering its the dead of winter. Snow crunches under your shoes as you take in the sunlight, making the snow on the ground almost blinding. It had been cloudy for days and snowing non stop, so you wanted to take advantage of the of the sun peaking through the clouds. Crouching down near a tree you find chickenweeds. Satisfied at the find, you pluck them from the ground and place them in the basket.
After a hour of foraging you still didnt have much in your basket. Huffing out a sigh of disappointment you continue your way through the trees in hopes of finding at least one more thing before calling it quits. Right as you lost hope you see a peak of red amongst the white ground, coming closer you realize its rose hips. Excited as you reach down to pull them off their plant. It seems you do have luck today. Right as you place the rose hips into your basket, all the birds chirping go silent. You pause, feeling the energy shift into something slightly more tense. Like you've done something wrong and the forest knows it. Shaking off the feeling you make your way deeper into the forest.
Knowing you should be heading back soon but you continue to walk deeper, if there was rose hips here who knows what else could be just a little bit further. Not noticing how all the wild life seemingly went quiet and the trees began to grow thicker the further you walked. Seeing sun beating down in a clearing through the trees, you walk a bit faster to reach it. until you spot somethung that makes you stop dead in your tracks.
In the clearing stands a tall dark figure, large thick wings standing tall as black feathers cover them all the way down to the snow on the ground. Its back is to you. Its unmoving form seeming to be basking in the sunlight. Their massive wings completely shielding its body away from you. You're frozen, not knowing what you should do, feeling the urge to run but you're still glued to your spot. The figure seems at ease, motionless as it takes in the cool air peacefully. Breaking away from the trance, you take a step backwards, stepping on multiple sticks and leaves in the process making them snap under the weight.
The figure tenses as their feathers ruffle up, now knowing someone was present. The air stills as neither of you move. Until a loud cawing of a crow breaks the silence, making you go into overdrive. You take off running in the direction you came, accidently dropping your basket in the panic. The figure watches as you disappear through the trees. You don't see how his eyebrows frown and shoulders slightly slouch at the interaction.
Panting when you finally slowed to a stop after running for what seemed like forever. You take in your surroundings making sure the winged being didn't follow you. Now signing out in relief once you realized you were alone. You were close to home now. Your stomach dropped once you realized you didn't have your basket anymore. "Damn!" You cursed in frustration. All your foraging gone to waste. And you definitely weren't going back for it now. You grumble and make your way back home in defeat.
~♡~
The logs in the fire place creak and pop from the flames, the snow gently falling outside as the sky is bruised with purple hues. Sitting down on your handmade couch with a mug of tea in your hand, you think back to earlier today. How its black wings stood out like a sore thumb in the white snow, and how it seemed to be at ease. Its been crowding your mind ever since you got back home. What was that? And why haven't you seen it before?
Even though you only lived here for a year you often foraged and roamed the woods. You knew about the villagers rumors of what lived in the old castle not to far up the mountains but you never believed them. Talk of demons or vampires living in the dark castle. You were sure the castle was abandoned due to the lack of activity. But today made you hesitate. Maybe thats who's been living in the castle all this time? You sigh realizing there is no way to tell. Drinking the last of your tea you get ready to head to bed, trying to put today behind you. You've got a long day ahead of you tomorrow.
~♡~
The eggs on the pan sizzle when you crack it open. Adding bacon on the side of the same pan before flipping the eggs over. Once the bacon is finished you plate your breakfast and began to eat, thinking about what you needed to do today. Since you dropped your basket yesterday you'll be needing to make another one. You made your other one out of spruce roots and bark. Knowing those trees are deeper into the forest you began to grow nervous at the thought of possibly seeing the winged creature once again. Would it attack if it saw you again? It didn't chase you when you ran. Pushing the thoughts away you pick up your dirty plate and place it into the sink before making your way towards the door, Your bag already packed of tools and supplies you'll be needing to gather the root and bark for your new basket. You breathe out a huff of air once you see the sky. Cloudy. It seems like it will snow tonight, So much for sunny.
The familiar sound of snow crunching under your feet is heard as you walk in silence, you're feet start to ache from the cold seeping past your socks. You realize you are where you last saw the winged creature. Swallowing the lump in your throat you continue on past the clearing and into the thick forest. Your eyes light up when you see the spruce trees come into view. Setting your bag down as you crouch, you reach inside and pull out the handmade metal plires and got to work. Digging up the roots you begin cutting them and placing them into your bag. After awhile your hands start to get tired but you continued to work, until the sound of a low growl makes you freeze. afraid to turn around, you clutch the metal plires harder when you feel your palms begin to sweat.
Hearing another louder growl makes you finally turn to be met with 3 wolves growling at your crouching form. Feeling fear pass through your body, you're unsure of what to do. Your hands tighten on the pliers as you slowly raise to your feet. Your movement making the wolves growl more. Taking a slight step backwards made the largest wolf of the 3 trigger. The beast bolts towards you, knocking you to the ground, making you yelp as you hit the icy snow. Your hands reach up to try and push the feral wolf off if you as it bites your arm. You yell out as its jaw clamps closed. The other two cage you in. The wolf on the left biting your side where your ribs are. Struggling to keep fighting the feral animals you began to lose conscious. Before your eyes close you see a blur of black. The weight now being lifted off of your chest where the wolf once stood. Hearing shuffling coming closer as you finally give into the darkness.
~♡~
The crackling of fire is the first thing you hear. Your eyes still closed as you feel the warmth and softness of the material beneath you. Shifting makes you slightly gasp from the sudden throbing pain in your side "careful" a whisper of a voice broke the silence. Pausing, you open your eyes and is met with a dark room. Walls covered in warm light from the fire place. Searching the room for the source of the voice, you a outline of something standing near the door. Squinting, you see it move closer. Realizing it was much more larger then you originally thought. His black feathers almost glow from the warm light, wings stretch above his head and down his back, the bottom dragging across the floor. Your fear stills as your gaze catches his face. His eyes immediately drop to the floor. His expression almost... nervous? Bashful? His features contrasting his towering feathers.
It softens your fear. His gaze raises to meet yours. His eyes flickering to your wounds before making eye contact again "I need to rewrap your bandages" his voice is quiet as he studies your expression. Hesitant to come closer. You look down at your arm taking in the bandage, before looking at your side. He bandaged you up. Looking back up towards him you hesitantly nod. He slowly steps closer, almost in the same way you would to not spook a small animal. He reaches for the new bandages next to you on the table as he hovers close to the bed "I..." he trails off "can I sit?" After I moment of silence you finally nod slowly, still not sure of this man. Or whatever he was.
He takes a seat and reaches out to your arm, gently grasping it. His large pale hands feel cold to the touch, grazing across your skin like a ghost. He unwraps your old bandage letting you see the wound for the first time. You wince "three wolves attacked you down the mountain" you look up towards him to see him already looking at you "...I couldn't just leave you there" he discards your old bangage and begins to wrap the new one. His gentle touch had surprised you, you didn't expect this from him at all. "Can I lift your shirt?" The question breaks you from your thoughts. you hesitate but eventually nod, knowing you couldn't change your bandage on your ribs yourself even if you tried.
He lifts your shirt just below your chest, His finger tips brush against your skin in the process. You feel your skin heat up. As hes unwrapping your bandages you look up towards his face, seeing it a darker shade of red then it was a second ago. Feeling your gaze on him, he grows more fidgety as he avoids eye contact and keeping them strained on wrapping the white material. After wrapping you up he pulls your shirt down, fixing it back to the way it was.
He stands and creates distance between him and the bed you're on. He clears his throat "are you hungry? Its been hours since you have been awake" frowning your eyebrows 'hours?' You ponder as you look towards the window, the sky is dark and you can tell its snowing pretty hard. Turning back to him you try to sit up but a sharp pain shoots through your side making you wince. The winged man protests urgently "please stay laying down. You need to rest" he begins towards the door "ill go make you some food" he takes a final glance at you before closing the door.
After it clicked close your gaze still lingers on the door. A hurricane of thoughts whirl in your mind. The situation felt so unreal and strange, if he haven't saved you that morning you would've died. The thought makes you shutter. When you first saw him in the forest you ran from him, your heart sinks with regret hoping it didn't hurt his feelings. A sharp pain runs through your side, you groan now remembering the state you're in. Its going to be awhile.
~♡~
Two days past, they blurred together as you sleep through most of it. Body exhausted and desperately trying to heal from the wounds. He watches you from the door, taking in your sleeping face and bandaged arm that slips from the warm fur blanket. He signs, there hasn't been someone in his castle in years. It feels foreign to have another being around, he almost doesn't know what to do with himself. Worry is bedded deep in Nichos chest, worried you won't make it through the healing process. You've been sleeping alot since you got attacked, meaning he's needed to change your bandages while you're sleeping. Trying not to stare at your relaxed face, he ignores the fact he's worried in the first place.
~♡~
The sun is high in the sky as its warm light shines into the room, making it seem inviting. Cracking your eyes open you see the fireplace is dim, its glowing embers dying slowly. Looking around the room you notice a plate of bread and strawberries. The berries are juicy and red, your expression turns to confusion at the strawberries. Where did he get such nice berries in the middle of winter?
"I grow them in the castle" Nicholas's voice cuts through the morning air, making you look to him standing in the door. He itches the back of his neck, suddenly nervous at the attention "I grow fruit and vegetables in the castles green house" he looks towards the bread and strawberries "go ahead, eat. don't worry I have plenty" he offers a small smile that almost felt like a luxury to see. Looking down to the plate in your hand, you began to eat. Realizing how hungry you actually were. His eyes follow your movements, happy to see actual evidence of you being alive and well.
"How's your wounds feeling?" You look up to see hes finally entered the room, his eyes flickering to the blanket your bandages were under. "They-" coughing and clearing your throat you struggle to use your voice. He steps foward and grabs the glass of water on the nightstand where the plate once was. Taking it you chug it from thirst. "They are feeling better. Im still in pain but im healing slowly" he smiles in relief as he takes the now empty glass from your hands. "Thats good to hear" silence stretches across the two of you as you finally are able to take him in properly in the sunlight. His black wings stand tall as they contrast to his pale skin, his brown eyes are warm and kind, now being able to completly see him, Hes beautiful, Hauntingly so. Realizing your staring at him he bites his lip and backs away "i-ill be right back" he rushes out the door, leaving you wide eyed staring at the now closed door. You huff a defeated breath of air, you scared him off.
That is until you hear footsteps coming up to the door. they stop, there's a few seconds of silence before the door finally opens. Nicolas stands tall in the doorframe as he holds something slightly behind his back, to shy to reveal it to you. Peaking at his arm before your gaze goes back to his face, he bites his lip once again before revealing what's in his hands. A basket. The dark roots weave together making a beautiful pattern, thin forest green colored rope is weaved into the root making the dark brown look rich. Nervously averting his eyes and gripping the basket tighter "you dropped your basket the other day. It had some holes and scratches in it so I thought id make you a new one" he held out the basket for you to take.
Stunned, you stare at the new basket with awe. He takes your silence as rejection, he pulls it back away from you "unless you'd prefer your old basket i totally get it-" you cut him off hastily "N-no I love it!" You blurt out, making him pause, his eyes wide. Reaching out for him to give you the basket "its..." you meet his eyes "its beautiful" while taking the basket from his hands your fingers brush, sending a spark of invisible electricity through you. Pulling away you keep your eyes on the basket. Almost embarrassed to look back up at him "im sorry" you take his silence as a sign to continue "im sorry I ran away from you that day. I shouldn't of been so quick to judge..." you trail off.
"Its okay" he sighs "im use to it" it makes you look up with a sad expression "you shouldn't have be use to it. Its not fair" you look back towards your root basket, fingers running across the carved handle, woven with kindness and care. thinking back to the villagers rumors about the castle and who lived inside of it.
Feeling a dip in the bed, you turn your head to Nicolas whose now sitting next to you "its okay. Really" he grabs your hands, pulling them away from the basket "i know im kinda scary at first glance" he softly laughs "Plus... you're nice" he looks away but keeps his hands in yours, running his thumb over your knuckles before letting go. His touch burned into your skin even after he let go. "People never gave me a chance" he meets your eyes "but you are" his smile is small but still noticeable. Your heart skips a beat at the sight of it. For once the pain in your side feels at ease.
~♡~
"Easy now..." Nicholas tightens his grip on you, pulling you up his chest making sure you were stable. Getting use to walking through the big castle halls is slightly overwhelming, due to their size its like a maze. The architecture is old, stilled like its frozen is time, The castle is obviously centuries old. After finally making it to the great hall you let out a breath to ground yourself from the pain running through your side. you look up to meet Nicholas's eyes, Seeing worry clouded in them "are you okay?" You nod in reply, flustered at the proximity.
"here, sit" he secures his arms gently around your waist to help you sit down on the soft couch. he pauses for a moment, looking you over to see if you are in pain. He gives a affirmative nod once he knows your comfortable. Walking over to the fire place he grabs a flint and steel from the stone shelf resting above it, and sparking the fire to life. Once the flames are roaring he turns back towards you "let me make you some tea" he says softly before disappearing out the large room towards what you assume is the kitchen.
Its been one full week since he saved you. Hes putting so much effort into taking care of a stranger. Providing for someone he knew needed help. Your heart flutters with warmth at the thought of him, hes so different then what you originally thought. hes still so mysterious, you wonder if he has any family or friends, is there more of his kind? Do they live around here? The thought of him being all alone makes your heart ache. "Here you go" Nicholas's voice breaks you from your thoughts making you jump in fright, eyes moving to his large frame next to the couch. His smile drops, realizing he scared you "oh! Im so sorry" his voice lowers as his wings curl in on themselves to make himself seem smaller. His body language is filled with regret over something so small and insignificant, it makes you realize how delicate he really is.
"Its okay! I just didn't expect you to be back so soon" your voice soft, trying to convince him hes done nothing wrong. His body slightly loosens from its tense posture, his face pink now feeling slightly dramatic "sorry..." he grows bashful, tightening his hold on the cup of hot tea in his hands "I... i really don't want to fighten you" he admits, sighing as his shoulders slouch. You sign, reaching up towards his hands you grasp the cup from his hold, hands lingering on his, a warm pleasant buzzing electricity running through your fingertips. His gaze meets your gentle eyes, Seeing the fire flicker reflecting in them.
You guide him down onto the couch, letting him take a seat next to you. You look down at the steaming light brown tea, tiny particles of fresh herbs float around in it. The cup is white with hand painted blue and pink flowers littering it with careful precision, so elegant and fragile. Just like him. "Im not scared of you" you look back up to catch his eyes, to find him already looking back at you. His face holds something you couldn't quite place, something personal. You continue "You shown me kindness most people couldn't imagine giving. You've given me shelter and taken care of me when no one else would've, im sitting on this couch because you saved my life. That means the world to me. Thank you"
hes appalled at what you said, his eyes look glassy and wet but not a single tear falls. The emotion in his chest is deep and alive. No one has ever thanked or appreciated him in any way before, he believes his existence was a mistake. To hear you simply thank him means much more then you could ever know. His head drops low to hide the wide smile on his face "i would do it again" he simply says in response. Unable to say anything else. You take a sip of the tea, heart pounding in your chest. The moment is still but full of unsaid feelings. Glancing at his side profile, the fire illuminates his face making him seem ethereal. You look away as your heartbeat rises and take another sip from the porcelain cup.
~♡~
Involuntarily bed rotting is truly the worst. Staring out the castle window, the wind blows the snowflakes across the window making the thick glass freeze over. Signing as you roll over to face the door, the wool blanket once a comforting warm, now feels almost to hot against your skin. Its been two weeks since you've been attacked, but It felt like a lifetime. You haven't been outside once, lacking the sunny rays on your skin is making you go insane. Nicholas forbid you from getting up without his assistance, but with finally having enough of the ringing silence you give into the temptation of exploring the dark castle.
Slowly sitting up, your body aches from lack of movement but you continue on. Rising to your feet you stumble, grabbing the wooden nightstand next to the bed for stability. Regaining your footing, you make your way towards the large heavy door. Pushing it open, you take a peak into the long hallway. Candles light the way from the metal holders on the walls, flickering their glow across the cold floor. No Nicholas in sight. Taking a breath you finally step out into the hall, walking down the corridor, sock covered feet padding across the rug. You've been wanting to explore for quite awhile now, curious of what secrets are hidden beneath the stone walls.
Quietly making your way around the castle, you stumble across the great hall. Nicholas has brought you here quite a few times now, always serving you new tea in a beautifully painted cup. You wonder if he paints them himself. Brushing off the thought, you move on and continue down the corridor. Stumbling across large elegant stairs. You've never been downstairs before. you hesitate, looking around for sight of Nicholas. You'd never want to intrude or go somewhere you shouldn't. While contemplating, your eyes catch sight of a large painting behind you, It rests above the staircase seemingly untouched frozen in time.
Stunned, you notice theres nine men in the painting, one of them being Nicholas. All of them have large wings sprouting from their back, feathers going from white, to gray, to black. Their clothes expensive with thick rich fabrics and gold decorating them, gleaming even through the paint. in awe at the sight of the wings, you wonder where they are now. And why Nicholas was alone. "That is my family" Nicholas's voice echoes through the space, bouncing off the frozen walls. You turn towards him, there he is standing tall next to you looking up at the painting.
Brown eyes holding deep sorrow as he takes in each of the mens faces carefully, like it would be the last time he ever saw them. "They are my brothers" he looks down to your frame "they were my everything" his eyebrows frowned, the saddness growing thick in his voice. "What happened?" Your voice small and quiet, scared to ask what could've taken his family away from him. His gaze moved back to the framed painting before replying "Humans" Silence stretches across the open room, birds chirping from outside echoing throughout the castle like a taunt. Heart heavy with dread, your unable to reply, simply falling into a understanding silence.
"Can I show you something?" Nicholas breaks the heavy air. Looking up to him to find him already eyeing you with a small cheeky smile. "Of course" you reply, his smile widens into something more excited before softly grabbing your hand and making his way down the stairs. "Whoa slow down!" You laugh out as he pulls you down the hallway. Stopping at a big metal door, he takes a glance at you before pushing it open. Inside is bright, brighter then the rest of the castle. After adjusting your eyes, the room comes into your vision. The stained glass walls run high, multiple colors adore the shards of glass such as blue, purple, pink, green, and so much more.
They Spread across the walls with skill and precision, reflecting coloring along the floor. In the room lies endless amounts of plants full of fruits, herbs, vegetables, and berries. Your expression carries wonder and amazement at the amount of fresh plants around the greenhouse. Looking up you see the sun glaring down through the glass, before turning back to Nicholas. "This is amazing! Where did you get all these plants from?" He basks in the attention shyly "ive been growing them for years. Collecting different fruits and vegetables every chance I can get" he picks a strawberry from the stem before placing it in your hand "you may take anything you like from here at any time" he watches fondly as you bite into the berry, humming in satisfaction. His chest light at the sight of you in the sunlight. He smiles grows sutbly.
~♡~
Pushing open the massive doors that lead out to the courtyard, they creak in protest against the wind as you feel the cold breeze hit your skin. The sun shining onto the white snow making it sparkle. The snow crunches under your feet as chirping of birds is heard, now open and free without the castle walls muffling the sweet sound. This was your first time being outside since the wolf attack, it feels refreshing to feel the sunlight warming your skin again after two and a half weeks. While standing out in the middle of the courtyard basking in the sun, you feel eyes burning into the back of your skull.
Turning back towards the doors that you came from, you see Nicholas leaning against the doorframe, watching you enjoy the cold air. He offers a soft smile when you catch him staring. He sauntered to you, his gaze not breaking away "I haven't been out here in quite some time" he signs out, his breath coming out in a white cloud. "its beautiful" you say as you take in the winged statues surrounding where plants would've been blooming and the small water fountain glistening in the light. As you are looking, you fail to notice Nicholas observating the side of your face "its better with company" the statement makes you look at him, seeing hes already staring at you. After a moment of searching his eyes, you look away. Heat covering both of your faces.
"How's your wounds?" He changes the subject. Looking down to your wrapped ribs and arm "they are healing quite nicely. I can walk without my legs feeling weak anymore" you say. He looks off into the frozen courtyard with a distant look on his face "i guess that means you'll be leaving soon huh?" This made you falter, undeniable disappointment filled your heart "I guess so..." the cool air whisps through the two of you as the sound of the forest surrounding the castle filled the air.
Truth be told... you don't want to leave. Being here with Nicholas gave you peace you never thought you could have, he made your mind quiet. Something no one has done before. Would you never see him again once you left? Not even visit? The thought made your heart ache. Growing quite attatched to the winged man over the time you spent here. The nights spent by the fire with a cup of tea and book in hand enjoying each other's company, the longing looks when he thought you weren't looking, how he took such good care of you no matter what.
"Im happy to see you recovered" his voice is empty and hollow as he stalks off back into castles threshold, leaving you feeling colder without him by your side.
~♡~
The room feels a little colder then normal as you stare at the root basket Nicholas gave you, it taunts you from the nightstand, A reminder that you are leaving. The castle feels more quiet then normal, like the morning is preparing for a storm. Nicolas was no where to be seen, you havent seen him since the interaction in the courtyard yesterday morning, Maybe he is happy your leaving. eyebrows frowning at the thought, you push it away and continue folding what little clothes you had and placing them into the basket. You couldn't possibly leave without bidding Nicholas goodbye. Wondering why he hasn't shown up by now, when he'd always bid you goodnight and great you in the morning with breakfast. Finally done with packing, knowing you dragged it out longer then needed, you make your way out your bedroom door. Boots dragging across the floor, like a desperate plead to stop. Eyes glancing around trying to catch a glimpse of the man who taken care of you this entire time. Saddness fills you. he doesn't want to see you.
Trying to blink away the forming burning of tears in your eyes, you now stand in front of the massive door that leads outside the castle. Taking a breath, you push them open, the sharp wind blowing in your face. You pause, hoping the sound of footsteps or a hand on your shoulder pleading you to stay would appear. But it never comes. Biting your lip, you take a step out the door and into the freezing forest air. It fills your lungs making them burn. The sound of wings flapping behind you makes you whip around. Nicholas lands a few feet away, keeping his distance. His expression solemn and body guarded, not at all like his usual kindness. The space stills, eyecontact unbreaking as you feel your world sink "i guess this means goodbye" you struggle to say, grip tightening on the basket he made for you while taking a step towards him. He looks away, He doesn't come closer. "Yeah...goodbye" turning away, his back now to you, his shoulders are tense as his head hangs low. Staring at his back with disappointment at his lack of words.
"Thank you...for everything" and with that you walk down the stone stairs leading out into the snowy mountains. Feet heavy with every crunch of snow underneath your boots. The further away you get from the castle the more you regret not saying more. The trip back to your cabin is a long steep walk, pulling the basket closer to you, you bear the high winds of the mountain, but nothing can compare to the fallen pieces of your broken heart.
~♡~
The castle doors shut with a deep rumble, incasing Nicholas in the lonely and still stone walls. Hes unable to move, his ears ring with intensity. He wishes with every fiber of his being you'd come back through those doors and stay with him forever. His knees buckle and he falls to the floor, his hands cover his face as his wings weap behind him, spreading across the floor.
Tears stream down his face as he covers his mouth to muffle any sounds trying to escape. He tried not to get attatched to you, he forbid it. Forbid looking into your eyes for to long, forbid his touches from lingering on your skin, forbid acknowledging his true feelings for you, forbid the idea of having something he could lose. His forehead touches the floor, wings draped around him, incasing him in his mourning cries. The cold walls of the castle have never felt colder then in this moment, it craves your addicting warmth. He lost the only light in his life hes had in years. Now hes all alone again.
~♡~
The fire crackles throughout the cabin, being the only light source in the dark livingroom. Nightfall came agonizly slow, and when it did, it felt like you would never see the light of day again. Snow rages outside, covering the roof and windowsills in white. Your tea is untouched and cold by now, unable to even take a sip of it, It wouldn't be able to compare to his. You can't even think of his name without feeling the ache that settles deep within your bones. Staying glued to your spot you stare into the fire, making your vision spot. Its been two full days since you left the mountains, and there hasn't been a single second you hadn't thought about Nicolas. His beauty raging in your mind as a unstoppable force as the days go by. Tears sting your eyes at the thought of his cold and distant goodbye, like he barely knew you. how could he?
Now holding your face in your hands, as if you're trying hide away from the cruel world. Your shoulders shake and your heart is heavy with sorrow and rejection. You lost count of how many times you cried over the man, The mere thought of him is to much to bare.
Faint knocking breaks you out of your crying fit. So faint you thought you imagined it, until another knock hits against your front door. Sounding light and almost scared to be heard, but It was unmistakable. You shoot up off the couch and barrel towards the door, your heartbeat slamming against your chest at the thought of who could be behind the wooden door. Pausing while your hand hovers over the doorknob, you bite your lip nervously. you perpare yourself for no one to be there and you were simply just imagining it. You imagined him running back to you and knocking on this door a million times over the course of two days.
Finally ripping off the bandaid and swinging the door open, what you find makes tears gather in your eyes once again. There he is, standing in the gently falling snow while taking up the whole doorframe with his large feathered wings. His nose red and his eyes glossy as he takes you in for the first time since he bid you goodbye forever. You stare at each other, mirroring each other's mourningful and longing expression. The tear that falls down his face is what breaks the silence. Nicolas rushes through the door and wraps his arms around you, pulling you into a bone shattering hug, like if he let go you would disappear.
"Im so sorry" he whispers into your shoulder as he squeezes you tighter into his embrace "I was scared of letting someone into my heart again" he lifts his head to meet your eyes "and i pushed away the only thing thats worth loving" he inches his face closer to yours and his hand comes up to caress your cheek, his thumb swiping the fallen tears "please let me show you i can love. I beg you to accept me into your kind heart. Though i do not deserve it" his forehead touches yours as he stares deeply into your eyes. You softly smile at him "I accepted you into my heart a long time ago"
he smashes his lips onto yours desperately, pouring every unsaid words and feelings into the passionate kiss. He feels like his soul is complete with you in his arms, he craved every inch of you from the start.

Summary: Your friendly neighborhood spiderman can't seem to keep his eyes off of you, with or without his mask on.
Warnings: wounds (maki gets hurt), mentions of blood, attempted robbery on reader(twice), set in collage, mentions of a gun and a dagger. Bad grammar (idk what im doing)
You have been seeing him around more often. It seems like every time you see him the sooner he comes back around. almost lingering, Like hes seeking you out on purpose. It all started at the beginning of the semester. The first time you've seen him with your own two eyes was when two men had cornered you while you were walking home after your evening shift at the convenience store.
Walking home from work after a evening shift always made you slightly nervous, making sure to keep your surroundings in check, always clenching your fist when you passed a dark ally. Rounding a corner you immediately feel the heavy weight of eyes on you. Unease floods you. After speeding up your pace, you heard quick footsteps coming up behind you. Before you could turn around, someone grabs your arm and you're pulled aggressively "give up the bag!" A male voice yells out to you.
You're eyes dart to him before looking towards the man who had a hold on your arm "didn't you hear him? Move!" You take off your bag and hold it out for him to take, a slight tremble in your hands as the other man yanks the bag from you. He opens it up and seems to be looking for something "Where's the wallet?" He looks up at you with fury in his eyes "you trying to play us?" The other man's grip tightens on you as you see the glint of the dagger in his hand.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" A voice rung out into the night. They pause, sparing a glance at each other before looking around in confusion. A sharp whistle catches their attention, both of them looking up to the rooftop above "up here idiots!" A blur of red and blue drops down to the ground just a few feet in front of them. Your eyes widen realizing THE Spiderman is standing in front of you. His eyes land on the guys beside you before reaching you. He pauses as he stops on you, slightly tilting his head. Then flickers down to the tight grip still on your arm. "We don't want any trouble man..." the guy holding your bag says as he drops it, making its contents spill out onto the pavement. "Oh but I think you do want trouble" Spiderman shoots a web outward, it sticking to the man's wrist right as he takes a step backwards to flee before pulling him forward, making him stumble and fall to his knees. The other male let's go of your arm and takes off down the street, rounding a corner quickly. The man on the ground stands up and follows his partner in pursuit.
The boys in the red and blue suit sighs out as he watches him run behind the same corner his friend did. His attention goes back to your form. Staring at him with a hint of uncertainty. He walks over to your bag on the floor, picking up the things that spilt out and putting them back into it neatly. He holds it out to you "you okay?" He tilts his head once again like hes inspecting you, his voice lower and softer then the tone he had talked to the thieves with. Stepping closer before placing the bag strap into your hand. "Thank you..." you say, looking in the direction they had ran "that could've ended horrible if you didn't intervene" looking back to him where his eyes would've been.
The sudden eye contact and comment makes him look down and scoff, seeming almost bashful "just doing my job as the friendly neighborhood spiderman" he visibly cringes at himself making you smile "well keep doing your job then Mr. friendly neighborhood spiderman" your eyes seeming to glimmer under the streetlights, making maki's face heat up. He places his hand on the back of his neck "y-yeah of course..." he replies. putting your bag over your shoulder, you look down the street in the direction of your apartment "i guess ill get going then. thank you again" giving him one last glance before walking off further into the city. Maki's gaze lingers on your figure as you walk away. His heart still rapidly beating in his chest.
And still as you walk home you could feel eyes on you. Though not as heavy as the ones before.
~♡~
The next day in the cafeteria you sit down next to your friend Ej at the square table with your lunch box "what did you bring?" Ej questions making you open your lunch box and turn it for him to see "chicken and rice" his eyes glitter at the sight and reaches his hand out, making you slap it away "I will bite your hand off" he pouts as two more people join the table. Looking up to see nico and maki "getting physical over here?" Nico laughs at your dispute. "They won't let me have some of their chicken and rice" Ej says as he glares at you, you stick your tongue out playfully. "How's devastating" nico says. Your eyes move from Nicolas to maki, finding him already looking at you. After locking eyes, he looks away to Ej "did you not bring enough food for yourself?" Theres humor in his voice as he has a smirk on his face. Ej rolls his eyes playfully "or maybe sharing is caring"
Ej and nico chatter about the latest video game they purchased as all of you began to eat your lunches. You stay quiet just listening in to their conversation. Feeling someone looking at you, you look up and meet maki's gaze once again. This time he doesn't look away. being caught staring makes his eyes widen slightly, before softening into a playful smile. Heat rises to your face, you look back down to your lunch, picking at the chicken with your fork.
You knew maki through nico. You weren't really FRIENDS, you just hung out when nico was there. He seemed to always tag along with nico. Not that you minded, you actually taken a liking to the boy. And now picking at your chicken thinking about how hes probably still looking at you right now makes your heartbeat speed up.
~♡~
Its been a month since your first interaction with Spiderman. Hes been popping up more and more lately as you're walking home from work, saying how hes "just doing his job" as he tags along beside you back to your apartment. "Isn't there like... crime you should be fighting right now?" You ask him one night. His footsteps faltered at the question "well- I mean-" he stutters out "tonight's slow" you could hear a hint of a smile in his voice. "It seems like alot of nights are slow" you tease, making him laugh. "What? I can't see my favorite civilian?" That makes you roll your eyes to conceal the blush blooming onto your face.
You can't help but smile while thinking back to that conversation now. The ring of the bell above the door brings you back to reality. Shaking your head, you greet the person who just came into the small convince store "hello welcome to-" your voice gets caught in your throat as the barrel of a gun is pointed in front of your face "put the money in the bag!" The man barks out the order, but your frozen. Staring wide eyed "didn't you hear me!?" He yells louder as he shoves the gun closer to your face. Your mind goes back to your spidey boy, wishing he was here to save the day. Dread fills your body as you slowly lean your hand down to the cash register. A cling of the register opening fills the tense air "yeah thats right" he slams the sack onto the counter "now start putting money in the bag" you are frozen once again "hurry up!" He yells making you flinch.
The door aggressively being swung open makes both of you break eyecontact and look towards the door. Spiderman had busted through the glass doors, heavily panting. He takes in the situation, eyeing the gun pointed directly at your face. His hands ball into fist "lower the gun" his voice is firm and serious, unlike any tone you've heard from him before. The man visibly grows nervous, but scoffs anyway "or what? Ill just shoot them if you try anything" his shaky voice betrays him. Maki shoots out a web from his wrist, latching into the gun before pulling it out of his hands.
The gun going off in the process, making you duck down below the counter. "Y/n!" Maki's eyes go wide, his heart sinks to his stomach thinking you got hit by the bullet. He pants quickly in panic as hes unable too see movement from you behind the counter. Shooting his webs out makes the man fly backwards and hit the wall with a thump. He struggles against the webbing, unable to escape its sticky hold. Blocking out the man's yells, maki rushes to the counter and jumps over it. Seeing you crouched on the ground "y/n?" You flinch as he gently grabs your face with his hand, pulling it up to look at him. He scans you over, worry clouding him. Meeting your eyes behind his mask, he feels the world melt away. "Did he hurt you?" You shake your head no in response. You're okay, he sighs in relief. He keeps his hands on you as you both rise to your feet. He can't shake the feeling of worry as sirens echo in the distance.
Red and blue lights bounce off the buildings as police cars surround the small store. Maki stands next to multiple police officers as they ask him the details of what happened at the scene. He drowns them out, unable to focus on anything except for you. His eyes locked on your figure as you sit on the back of the ambulance truck talking to a paramedic. he takes in your expression and body language: tired and shaken up. His heart sinks further, you shouldn't of went through that. Seeing the paramedic walk away from you, he perks up and pushes past the police officers talking to him, making them call out to him in protest.
"Hey" his voice makes you look up to him "Hey" you offer a weak smile, scooting over to make room for him to sit on the trunk ledge. He hops up, your thighs touching from proximity "how are you feeling?" You shrug in response "im good" He shakes his head and turns his body towards you "No. How are YOU feeling?" His full attention on you, seeing through you. his soft voice feels like the sun peaking through the clouds, warming your heart and melting away the cold snow.
Your head droops "i mean... I could be better" you look up towards the convenience store "I just had a gun pointed in my face and almost died. Not the best thing to happen on a Friday night." The feeling of his gloved hand entering yours makes you look down, seeing the webbed patterned hand interlaced with your fingers. "Im sorry I didn't get here sooner" his voice holds regret. You frown and tighten your grip on his hand "you got here just in time to save the day" he makes eyecontact through the mask, seeing the meaningful expression on your face. "You saved me" your eyes full of something more then just appreciation. It makes his chest bloom with warmth.

That next Wednesday was your next shift. Your boss tried to give you time off after the accident, but you refused the offer. Bills arent going to pay themselves. As your leaning on the counter staring at the snack filled shelves in boredom, the bell above the door rings. This was your first customer since the whole incident. You perk up in alert. Your tense shoulders ease up once you see who is walking in. Your friend Maki. Now perking up in excitement to see your friend "oh hey maki!" He smiles in response "hey! I see your working tonight" he approaches the counter you're behind with a friendly smile. "Gotta keep the bills payed somehow" you huff out a laugh.
Staring at his side profile as he browsed the snack asle, his eyebrows frowned as he weighs his snack options. "I heard there was a accident here recently" he speaks up, breaking you out of your trance. He grabs a packet of sour gummy worms off the shelf and looks over to you "how are you feeling now?" His voice slightly softens "after what happened" he asks as he walks over to the counter and sets his gummy worms on top of it, his gaze hasn't left you since he asked the question.
"Well i mean..." you offer a light laugh, trying to think of the right thing to say "im fine. Its just something that happened and I have to continue on with life" you smile to show everything is fine, knowing deep down it really did effect your mental state. Having a gun pointed at your face was a scary experience, and you had to pick life back up right after it happened. Even though you were inches away from death. Maki hums as he quirks a eyebrow, like hes not truly convinced "whatever you say..." eyes lingering on you as you bring up the total of his purchase.
"Your total would be 2.99" he pulls out his wallet and hands you a 5 "heres your change" he pushes your held out hand back towards you "nah keep it its whatever" he smiles. He stays put instead of leaving out the door. you raise your eyebrow and smile "anything i can do for you maki?" He looks away and smirks "what? I can't see my favorite bestie?" His response makes your smile flicker for a split second.
You could've sworn his response reminded you of something. Deciding to brush it off, your smile widens. "Well BESTIE" you put the gummyworms in a paper bag "heres your candy" you hold out his purchase. He takes it, making your finger tips brush. A spark of electricity runs through your hand as you pull away "ill see you later" he smiles over his shoulder as he walks to the door. His pretty face still lingering in your mind as he walks away.
~♡~
Walking out of the convenience store you work at, you look at your clock '10:07" taking a deep breath and sighing out, your glad your shift is over. While walking your usual path, theres a tinge of excitement in your chest. Expecting the blue and red suit to come into view any moment. Shaking your head, you push away those thoughts. Knowing its dangerous to feel things like that towards someone when you don't even know what their name is. Nearing your apartment, theres disappointment clouding your mind.
You shouldn't feel this way, he isnt coming tonight. You sigh in defeat, picking up the speed since you're almost to your apartment.
Until you hear a loud crashing of trashcans in the ally you just passed. Your pace comes to a halt, you take a peak into the dimly lit allyway, thinking a raccoon or stray cat fell from the rooftop above. Until you see a familiar flash of red. Your heart stops. you squint your eyes, trying to make out if your correctly seeing who you think you're seeing. A low groan solidified your suspicion. Rushing towards the boy who is laying on his back clutching his side, you crouch down and look him over. His body is tense as blood seeps out through his suit from his side. "Oh god" you put a hand on his shoulder, making him turn his head towards you "y/n" he sighs out. Have you ever told him your name? Quicky brushing off the thought, you place a hand near where the blood stain on his suit is. He hisses in pain "we gotta get you to a hospital" the mention of a hospital makes him grab your arm "No!" He grunts out "No hospitals..."
You weigh your options. You can't take him to the hospital, and you definitely can't just leave him here. The next best thing to do is take him to your apartment. "Okay let's get you up" putting your arm around his shoulders and grasping his other arm with your hand, you pull him up with slight difficulty. Hes heavy when hes depending on you to get him to his feet. After helping him stand he leans on you for support, arm over your shoulder as his head hangs low. "What happened?" You ask with concern, which he replied with a low whine. Taking that as a sign to let the topic go, you both began walking back to your apartment.
Getting him up the stairs to your apartment was tough but not impossible. Unlocking your door, you push it open with your foot and lead him inside. Gently taking him off your shoulder, you set him down onto your couch. He huffs out a breath of air as he lands on the cushions. Leaving him there you make your way towards your bathroom down the hall. Hastily looking for a first aid kit under your sink. After you found it you quickly walked back out to the living room where the boy was breathing heavily. Worry filled your chest as you sat down next to his body sprawled out on the couch. Opening the first aid kit you realize theres a problem. He needs to pull his suit down so you can clean his stomach. You bite your lip. Would he refuse? He could die if he doesnt get treatment.
A hand rests on your thigh takes you out of your thoughts "i-...I can take my suit off" he hesitates. His voice small as he realises you will see HIM. His heart hammers against his chest at the thought of you possibly knowing his identity. Would you hate him? Feel betrayed? Grossed out? His anxiety heightens. A gentle hand grazes his arm "its okay. you don't have to take your mask off" you offer him a assuring smile, making his racing heart calm down. After a moment of hesitation, he finally reaches up and grabs the neck of his suit. Pulling it down to his waist, past the wound on his side.
You tried not to stare as you cleaned the wound. His muscles tensing from the pain makes it a challenge to not look, his heavy breathing making his chest fall in and out makes it hard to concentrate. You can feel his heavy gaze on your face as you worked, the silence stretches between you too "thank you..." he says quietly. Looking up to meet his masked face "of course. I could never just leave you there" you say as his finger tips graze your waist hesitantly.
He looks lost in thought as you finish bandaging him up "done! I have some pain killers if you want them-" your sentence gets cut short as his hands rest on your waist and wrist. his touch is careful, to test the waters on how close he could come. "I..." he trails off. The confusion on your face makes him continue "i... im not who you want me to be" he looks away almost ashamed. His anxiety makes you move closer. You move his face to look at you "you are you. Thats all that I want you to be" he frowns. Knowing once you see who he truly is you'll feel betrayed. You bring your forehead to his masked one, He sighs "Im scared of losing you" he whispers as his eyes close. "You have me" you whisper back.
He opens his eyes and pushes you back slightly. He hesitantly reaches for his mask. The movement makes your breath stutter in anticipation. You're finally going to see your Spiderman. He lifts his mask past his lips before stopping, his mask still gripped in his hand as he sighs out to prepare himself. He closes his eyes before ripping his mask off. Keeping his eyes closed as if hes waiting for a impact. Your gasp makes his eyebrows frown deeper, scared of your reaction.
"Maki?" Your voice cuts through the silence like a knife. Hes unable to open his eyes, until he feels your hands tenderly cup his face. "look at me maki" he openes his eyes and meets yours who are full of adoration. Your lips hold a small smile "Hi" he returns the small smile back "Hi" seeing your light expression makes his anxiety melt away. His hands reach up to grasp yours, firmly holding them like they will disappear. "I hope this isnt disappointing" he jokes as your foreheads touch again. You laugh "not at all" the tension in the air is sweet but thick. Maki's eyes go down to your lips before leaning in, You meet him half way. The kiss sends a wave of warm sunlight through you, filling your heart with light. You both part, panting slightly.
"My hero"

Crunching of leaves and sticks come from under your feet as you walk through your farm. It had been 3 days since you first arrived at the old farm house. The land being full of trees and large logs and rocks, ones you are still not done clearing out. As you set down your axe and take a seat on one of the logs laid on the ground, you ponder about the small village just down the dirt road from your farm 'Stardew Valley' you still haven't explored since you've been busy with cleaning up the mess you called a farm. Sighing as you stand up and pick up your axe. Time to get back to work. Its only 12pm, the heat of the sun beating down through your clothes. You wipe the sweat from your forehead and swing back your axe to land in the stump of a tree.
~♡~
The sun shines into the room from the window as you open your eyes. The clock reads 8am. You slept in later then usual since you planned on going to town today. Sitting up you feel fur drag across your leg, your cat you brought with you from the city is staring up at you waiting for pets. After a quick pet you stand and turn on the television as you walk towards the closet to get dressed for the day. your hearing catches something about having good luck for the day.
Closing your front door you lock it and slide the key into your pocket and make your way down the old dirt road. It seems like no one has been down here in awhile. Hence all the greenery around almost blocking the trail. After walking past the bus stop you make it to a brick road. Looking around and seeing houses and businesses you get slightly anxious at the thought of interacting with new people. Seeing a few faces in the distance you slightly put your head down and begin walking through town. Stopping between a doctor's office and a grocery store. The main reason you came to town was to go grocery shopping. The bell rang as you stepped inside. The light chatter inside going quiet as two heads peak out from the shelfs. Almost like they knew who was coming in. The new farmer, The talk of the town. It seemed like that's all that they talked about these days.
Stepping out into the warm spring air with paper bags in your hands full of food and seeds you take in a deep breath 'that wasn't so bad wasn't it?' Satisfied with your social skills for the day you walk towards home now thinking about what part of the land of the farm you should plant your new seeds. Being lost in thought you didnt notice the doctors office door opening. Until it hit you square in the forehead. Your paper bags fall into the floor spilling the items inside as you hit the hard concrete floor "OH MY GOODNESS! im so sorry!!" A panicked voice yells out as you are rubbing your forehead with your hand blocking your view of the person that just splattered half your braincells on the wooden door.
A gentle grasp of your hand is what breaks you out of your daze "let me help you" pulling you up with ease is a tall man with a mustache and glasses, his face has a tinge of pink due to being slightly flustered. "Are you okay?" His face full of concern as he looks you over checking for injuries. What makes you come back to life is the feeling of his hand still being intact with yours "uhh" taking your hand out of his "yeah im good" now looking down to your grocery bags on the floor he straightens up "o-oh im sorry! Here let me get those for you!" Hes more pink then he was a second ago as he bends down to put the food into the paper bags with haste. Bending down next to him "its okay truly. No damage done" you offer him a small smile and take the bags off his hands. Him following suit as you stand up. "Ill see you around" you smile again but brighter this time and make your way around him not giving him the opportunity to say anything else. His eyes linger on you as you walk down the dirt road back to your farm. "So the new farmer huh?" A smug voice pulls him from his thoughts "w-what?" He clears his throat and turns to Maru. She has a small smirk on her face "don't think i didn't see that" her smirk widens as she walks past him into the doctor's office. 'See what?' He thought.
~♡~
The next day you are raking the dirt back to drop the seeds you got yesterday inside. 'It seems all i do is sweat these days' you thought while Wiping your forehead with your shirt. Checking your watch it reads '1pm' you were supposed to go to Robbins today to buy a chicken coop. After putting your supplies away into your shed you took the back way to Robin's. While walking taking in the scenery of the trees and mountain tops you think back to yesterday. The man who slammed the door in your face. Huffing out a laugh thinking about how it was probably your fault for not paying attention. Thoughts lingering on the man. The way his glasses framed his flustered face. He was kinda cute. Shaking your head away from these thoughts you sped up the pace to Robin's house.
Taking in the detailed wooded walls in Robin's work shop when you walk in you are met with a empty desk. Tapping the desk bell it rings out into the open space as you wait. After some silence you slightly jump when I voice calls out behind you "hey y/n!" Robin walks into the room with a box in her hands "sorry for the wait I was just grabbing a few things" she sets the box on the front desk "how may I help you?" Her cheery attitude slightly rubbing off on you "I was wondering if I could buy a chicken coop? Im in need of one" robin smiles "of course!" You both go over a few designs and colors before deciding on one "alright I reckon ill be finished with the project in 3 days? If im doing the math correctly" she takes the blueprint off the table and shakes your hand "great doing business with you!"
Walking out of Robin's work shop you feel satisfied with your purchase until a voice intervenes "hey! You're the new farmer right?" Turning around to be faced with a smiling girl "im maru!" She shakes your hand "I saw you the other day talking with harvey!" 'Harvey?' You thought as you try think back to any Harvey's you recently talked too. Seeing your confusion she laughs "he didn't even tell you his name? The guy that hit you with the doctor offices door" you feel your cheeks heat up at the thought of someone else seeing that "hes the only doctor in this town. I work with him as a nurse" after sharing a few words with maru you bid your goodbyes and continue on the path back to the farm 'hes a doctor? Ironic but I guess that makes sense' you smile at the memory of his frantic motions of him picking up your things. He was definitely cute.
~♡~
It had been two weeks since you last went into town. Your chickens happy as ever with the hay you provided and your plants are blossoming into beautiful flowers and fruits. It will be time to get a barn soon since summer is coming. The clock read 7am when you clicked on the television. A storm is expected next week. You'll have to prepare your chickens for their first storm in the coop. But today you planned on adventuring in the mines. Putting on your thick boots for the rough terrain of the stone caves and grabbing your new sword you head out and began making your way towards the mountains
When entering the cave the ground was mushy with mud due to not being exposed to the sun. But the deeper you went into the mines the more darker and solid it got. Being deep into the mines its hard to see due to the darkness surrounding you as you fight off a green slime. Taking a step back you slip on a stone making you fall onto your back. The slime having a advantage now leaps onto you but you are quick to shove it off with a slice of your sword. Panting from the adrenaline you sit up and look around for a way up to the surface. Once spotted you stand up only to fall back to the ground with a yelp. Your leg had taken most of the hit from slipping on the stone, It now aching. With a groan you use all your strength to stand. Using the walls of the cave to steady you. You limp your way through the caves until you make it out. Feeling the sunlight hit your face you feel lightheaded. You used up all your energy to get out of the cave. Your vision starts to spot and you can feel your body going limp as you as the floor.
~♡~
The bright lights on the ceiling are the first thing you see when you open your eyes. Softly groaning you rub your eyes with your hand. Uncovering your eyes you turn your head to take in your surroundings. It smells and looks like a doctor's office. The memories come flooding back to you. How did you get here? The sound of a door opening catches your attention. Harvey steps inside "oh your awake!" He rushes over to the bed you are laying on "how's your leg feeling?" That question making you realize how much your leg is aching. Wincing as you try to move it Harvey puts a hand gently on your thigh "careful now" he moves your leg to softly rest on the pillow you moved it from "you took a nasty fall. Linus found you unconscious near the entrance of the caves up in the mountains" he frowns "those caves are no joke. you really have to be careful" he says as he pulls up a chair to sit by your legs to redo the bandages on your knee. His gentle hands unwrap the cloth with care and disposed of it into the trashcan near by. As he inspects your leg your eyes land on his face. His expression concentrated with slightly frowned eyebrows, his glasses at the tip of his nose almost making you want to push them up yourself. "This may hurt a bit..." Harvey said as he puts liquid from a white bottle onto a piece of cloth and dabs gently on your knee. You hiss at the unexpected pain shooting through your leg "I know im sorry honey. It will be over in a second" he tries to soothe you as he keeps the cloth in place by putting his hand on your leg to keep you from moving.
Wrapping up your leg in a new white bandage he keeps glancing at your face. Questioning in his mind how you got like this. Catching one of his glances he immediately looks away and slightly tugs at his collar almost feeling suffocated being in this small room with you "care to tell how you managed to end up like this?" He leans back in his chair once hes finished and makes eye contact with you with a eyebrow raised, expecting a answer. You huff out and look to the side "a slime caught me at a bad time and i slipped on a rock" you say almost embarrassed. He sighs "well it could've been worse" he stands "as long as your alive is all that matters" he smiles making the corner of his eyes crease. "Linus is still waiting for you in the lobby to help take you home" your eyebrows frown "linus...?" He replies "hes the one who found you. He lives up in the mountains and saw you after you collapsed. He will help take you home" he grabs two crutches leaning against the counter "its just a small injury to the knee so you should be up and running in a few days but you'll need these until you can put pressure on that knee again" he grabs your arms to slowly lift you up so you can stand. You hold onto him as he lifts you into your feet. Handing you the crutches he tells you the correct way to hold and walk on it. "If you don't mind id like to stop by your farm to give you a check up on that knee in a few days?" Harvey asks "just so you don't have to walk all the way here" he smiles.
Making it out to the lobby with Harvey's assistance you see a man with a rough white beard and hair. He looks up to you "how you doing there buddy?" He asks with a bit of concern "this is Linus. The man who brought you here" Harvey tells you as he keeps his gaze on you to make sure your walking okay "thank you for helping me out Linus I appreciate it" Linus smiles at the kindness "just helping a fellow caver out!"
~♡~
Doing farm work with one working leg was quite the challenge. You were instructed to keep off of your leg for a few days but who will feed the chickens and water the plants? Today's the day that Harvey is supposed to drop by to check out your knee. Feeling slightly nervous 'what if he thinks my farm is messy?' Shaking your head 'why do I care so much?' Pushing those thoughts back you go inside to freshen up before he arrives.
*knock knock* Hearing a knock at your door you straighten out your outfit and head to open the door, revealing a smiling Harvey "hello! You ready for your check up?" Letting him in hes greeted with a ball of fur rubbing against his pants "hello kitty cat" he leans down to pet the kitty "she usually doesn't like new people so I guess you're lucky" you huff out a laugh "I guess so" he laughs. He tells you to sit on the edge of the bed and he leans down on his knees to get a better look at your healing leg. he looks up at you as he puts his hand gently on your knee "mind if I take these bandages off?" You nod, feeling slightly flustered at his position "its definitely looking better then before. Healing very well" he prepares to do some treatment on your leg along with some stretches. He grasps your leg with both hands and slowly stretches it outward "stretching your leg can help the healing process" his hands linger on your leg once he puts it back on the floor "do you feel any pain?" You shake your head no in response and keep your gaze on him as he reaches into his bag to pull out fresh bandages and a bottle of liquid. After wrapping you up he looks up at you through his lashes once again, realizing your eyes have been on him this whole time and how unprofessional this position was his face blushes a bright pink. He clears his throat and stands taking a few steps back to create distance. "U-um i-" he clears his throat again reaches to losens his collar "you seem to be healing fine. You'll be ready to get off the crutches and walk on your own sooner then i thought" he puts his things back into his bag and zips it closed. Avoiding your eyes "give the office a call if you need anything" he lifts his eyes to see you already looking at him. Holding the eye contact he nods his head with a small smile and reaches for the door "ill show myself out" as he closes the door he can feel the tips of his ears still burning.
~♡~
Finally getting off the crutches felt great. Finally having freedom to roam the farm as much as you'd like. You found yourself looking forward to visiting Harvey more and more through out the days. Almost feeling disappointed you won't be needing to visit any time soon since your fully healed. Mind often filled with thoughts of him and the way he carried himself. To his smile, his eyes, the way he'd push up his glasses when they fell down his pretty nose, the way his ears turned pink when he was flustered, the way his eyes would linger on you as you spoke. It was all maddening. You distract yourself with farm work and feed the chickens seeds and hay. A storm is coming tomorrow. You nail wooden boards over the windows of the chicken coop to ensure they would be safe in the small house. You planned to go to Pierre's today to get food and candles for the storm after your farm work was done but once you checked your watch it had already closed. Huffing out slightly annoyed you decided you'll just go tomorrow before the storm. Its supposed to start later in the afternoon so you'll just go in the morning and make it back before it hits stardew valley.
~♡~
Making your way down the dirt path you notice the dark clouds in the distance and It starting to be very windy. You pick up the pace and convince yourself you can make it. Getting to the brick road of stardew you realize this was a horrible idea. Sharp Winds flying around you as rain starts to drizzle from the sky turning heavier and the sky becoming darker. If you turned back now you'd risk your life walking through the forest durn a storm. So you did the next best thing. Bang on the doctors office door. After a minute of banging you start to lose hope until the door struggles to open and a hand pulls you inside. Adjusting to the dark building you see Harvey in front of you "what in the world are you doing out there!?" He questions "are you okay?" His hand is still grasping yours as he looks into your eyes for confirmation that your alright "yeah im fine" you sigh "I thought i could make it to Pierre's in time..." you say awkwardly knowing it sounds stupid out loud. Harvey signs "its alright. Come with me" hands still clasps with yours he leads you up the stairs of the doctors office and into what seems like his cozy home. Looking around you realized you never been up here before. Being in his personal space made your skin heat up "the lights went out maybe 20 minutes ago" he breaks you out of your thoughts "I set up some candles so it wouldn't be so dim in here" he spoke softly into the space. The only sound being the roaring wind and pelting rain on the roof outside. It isnt awkward, a comfortable silence stretches across the room. "You can have a seat you know" Harvey smiles teasingly as he gestures to the couch. Taking a seat you take in the books on his coffee table along with the cold unfinished coffee on the airplane themed coaster. One of them read "WAR PLANES" in big red font on the cover "you like planes?" You ask as He takes a seat beside you keeping a good amount of distance. His ears dust a light pink "yeah they are cool i guess..." looking around his apartment it seems he finds them more then just cool.
"The storm is supposed to last all day. Your free to stay here until its done" he offers a sweet smile towards you that you return "thank you. You are always looking out for me" his lips twitch as he looks down "well i am a doctor. Kinda my job" he laughs softly "yeah but..." you shift in your seat closer to Harvey making his eyes ever so slightly widen "with you its... different" you drop down to almost a whisper at the last word. Almost afraid to bring it to light. Harvey bites his lip avoiding eye contact, not knowing what to say. Putting your hand on his arm gently makes him look at you. His face hot with all the words of his feelings stuck in his throat. He looks down to your hand on his arm feeling the heat burn through his clothes into his skin. You place your other hand onto his jaw to move his face towards yours to meet his eyes, you move closer to him your faces now inches apart. Both your breathing mixes in with the wind outside "can I kiss you?" He asks voice soft enough to barely hear it in the enclosed room. Leaning in and meeting his lips was your answer. The kiss is sweet and slow. Taking your time as Harvey put his hand on your jaw gently. Breaking apart you rest your foreheads together making eye contact. After a beat of silence you both lean in for another kiss but this one was more needy and desperate. Putting his hand around your waist pulling you closer then before. Breaking apart with heavy breathes he laughs breathlessly "I've been wanting to do that"
Riwoo x Reader
Summary: you and riwoo decide to go play in the snow on his day off
Warnings: none
1,196 word count
Wrapping your scarf around your neck whilst looking into the mirror you deemed yourself ready to go out. It's riwoo's day off so you both decided it would be a great time to have a day out to yourselves. Walking out to the living room you spot riwoo sitting on the couch already ready "what took you so long?" he whines but has a small smile on his face letting you know he's only teasing "don't be a baby" you laugh as he stands up and walks closer "you look nice today" he wraps his arms around your waist and kisses your cheek "thank you" you giggle as he continues to kiss your cheek multiple times just to annoy you "okay enough you big puppy! let's go out" you take his hand and head for the door. He picks up his keys from the decorated glass dish on the table in the hallway leading to the door.
As you open the door you both realize the drizzle of snowflakes coming from the sky "it's snowing!" Riwoo exclaimed in excitement and rushes out the door pulling you along with him out into the cold. "Wait your gonna make us slip!" you laugh loudly as he excitedly barrels down the slippery stairs. Stepping out into the snow you take a breath of fresh cold air. It fills your lungs and you can see your breath coming out "I'll drive" riwoo states "since I drive better" you roll your eyes, he just doesn't want you to crash in the icey roads.
Even though it's a Saturday theres not many people on the roads. They must of known it was going to snow. Riwoo puts a comforting hand on your thigh "I'm glad we are going out today. Just us" his eyes are still on the road but he has a soft smile on his face. You rest your hand on his "me too. I always love spending time with you" you notice his ears turn slightly pinker then normal.
Arriving at the large park riwoos car comes to a stop and he turns off the engine "ready to go?" You nod and step outside the car circling it to meet him on the other side. Interlocking hands you make your way down the snowy path. You notice his nose is starting to turn a light pink from the cold "aw your nose is turning pink" you lean in to give him a kiss on the nose taking him off guard "uh..." his nose and cheeks turn a darker pink but it isn't from the cold this time. You giggle and continue walking which drags him along since you two are still interlocking hands. Snapping out of his puppy love daze he picks up his speed to catch up to you "unnecessary..." he mumbles but has a smile on his face. "Let's make a snowman!" You yell out and let go of his hand so you can run off the path into a snowy clearing "come help me make frob the snowman" you start rolling snow to make his lower body "frob?" He has a confused look on his face "that's his name. duh" you stop rolling the snow to look at riwoo with sass "what kind of name is frob" he puts a hand on his hip to mimic your sass "don't question just come help me!" Riwoo laughs and walks closer picking up some uneven sticks along the way for frob the snowman's arms. You both move side by side to roll the snow into the shape of his torso and lifting it up to set it on top of the bottom. Making his head you give him cat ears "cat ears!" Riwoo giggles out once he sees them "we should give him a tail!" He starts making a tail Shape out of snow "frob the furry snowman" you write into the snow below him "yes be who you are frob" you shove riwoo as he laughs "put his arms and face on" After building the snowman you both admire your work "he's beautiful" his eyes seems to be drooping in different directions but he's perfect to both you and riwoo.
You both continue down the snowy path in a comfortable silence. Enjoying each others presence and the chill in the air. Until riwoo breaks it "we should make snow angels" he casually suggests "oh good idea!" You once again take off running into the snow "wait for me!" He laughs as he tries to catch up to you. Coming to a stop You fall back into the snow and riwoo stands over you "well? Make a snow angel" he waves his hand for you to start "I was waiting on you so we could do it together" he rolls his eyes with a smirk and falls down into the snow. As your doing snow angels it suddenly starts to snow harder making your hair slightly damp "it's snowing so hard now!" You both get up and start making a run for the car as you both laugh loudly trying not to stumble on the snow.
Hopping into the car riwoo starts to engine to get the heater going "we didn't even get to see our snow angels" you jokingly pout at him as He incases both of your hands with his and pulls them up to the heater "why didn't we wear gloves?" He rubs his thumb across your hand trying to heat them up.
You both arrived home exhausted from the cold and activities you did today. Once inside you start Taking off your layers and you both head to the bathroom for a shower together. Once out of the shower "you can pick the movie this time" he says as he applies your skincare to your face for you "and I'll make hot chocolate for us while you choose" this makes you smile and plant a sweet peck on his lips "okay I'll pick a nice one".
Setting up the couch with pillows and blankets just to your liking you begin to choose the movie you and riwoo will watch. You start to smell the chocolate drink he was making and hear him lightly hum a tune. a warm soft feeling in your chest just from him being in your vicinity. Just as you have chosen a movie he enters the room with two mugs in his hand and sets one in your hands "I put extra marshmallows in yours" he makes you taste yours to make sure it's how you like it before he tries his "you choose the grinch out of all movies?" He teases "don't be a hater" you set your mug down and pull him to lay down on your chest which he happily abides and snuggles into your neck "I had a fun time today" he mumbles into your neck "me too" he lifts his head to kiss you and you kiss him back. He breaks the kiss to gaze into your eyes with a soft love sick expression. He leans up and kisses you on your nose "payback" he says quietly and grins with the same love sick expression.
Peter Parker x barista!Reader
Summary: you are working at a quiet coffee shop and a cute boy with coffee colored eyes comes in for a drink :]
-The reader has they/them pronouns-
Another boring but busy morning at the coffee shop. You've been working here for a few months now and everything's been going great, nice customers (most of the time), friendly co-workers, your pay is pretty good, and over all just a nice experience. Until one sunny Saturday morning, a brunette puppy dog eyed boy walked into the coffee shop.
The bell above the door rings out in the quiet coffee shop alerting you that there's a new customer, you quickly straighten yourself out as you walk from the back and stand behind the counter. "Hello what can I get for you today?" You look up and you're met with a cute boy you've never seen before. He's looking up hesitantly at the menu like he's not sure what he wants "uh could I get a-" he looks down from the menu to make eye contact with you but he stumbles over his words as he does "um- could- I- um" a soft blush goes over the bridge of his nose as he shakes his head "sorry, uh could I get a Chai tea?" He gives a small smile. "Of course" you smile at his attempt to order "what name?"
"Peter"
The cute boy named Peter came back again the next Saturday morning, Except it was raining this time.
The bell rings once again signaling you there's a new customer. You look up and and is met with the same brown eyes as last Saturday, But this time his clothes and hair were damp from the rain "hi can I get a Chai tea please?" He orders the same thing from last time "for Peter right?" You say with a smile as he looks slightly surprised with a blush slowly making its way on his face "y-yeah for peter"
Once his tea is made you call you his name "peter!" He walks up and takes the tea from the counter with a polite smile "thank you" he turns around to take a seat.
After 10 minutes your co-worker Hannah walks out from the back to help you with customers but the boy catches her eye "oh isn't that the cute boy you were talking about the other day" she whispered to you as she jabbed your side playfully "shush!" You laugh "go talk to him!" She says while laughing "what no! That's awkward" Hannah huffs out in fake annoyance as she replies "fine. But you should at least say hi if he comes back" you shake your head with a smirk as you look over to the boy named Peter. He's sipping on his tea while he has his headphones in and looking at his phone. After he's finished with his tea and gets up and slings his bag over his shoulder and throws away his empty cup. He gives you a shy smile as he leaves.
-☕️-
Peter has been coming here for the past few weeks. Ordering the same thing everytime, the more he comes around the more I start to like him. I want to finally break this fantasy and go talk to him but im to awkward for that. So for now he's just my coffee boy.
You hear the shops door open and two people step inside. You realize it's peter with someone you've never seen before. Who's that? They walk up to the counter to order. You turn to the unfamiliar person that's with peter "name?" "Oh for ned" he smiles "alright I'll have those out for you in a few minutes" they go sit down to wait for you to call their names
As they talk Ned says something that seems to fluster peter and Ned laughed loudly
-☕️PETERS POV☕️
"Go talk to them!" Ned says as he kicks Peter's leg "no I can't just go talk to them I would look like a idiot!" He whisper yells back "dude just go up there and ask for their number. I saw the way you guys were looking at each other when we were ordering" Ned giggles as peter turns red
"Ned and peter!"
-☕️END OF POV☕️
They both stand as Ned gives peter a look. They make their way over to you and Ned grabs his coffee and nudges Peter's side as he scurried away back to their seat, leaving peter at the counter In front of you "h-hey uh- so" he looks like your name tag "y/n right?" His face is tomato red as he stuttered over his words. You slightly surprised and flustered reply "Yeah my name Is y/n! Can I help you with anything?" You didn't expect him to try and make conversation "w-well I was wondering" he shifts uncomfortably as he looks down shyly "if I could h-have your number?" You are shocked he wanted your number. Since you weren't saying anything he started to ramble as a blush coated his face "only if you wanna give it to me- I mean you don't have too of course! I just thought you were cool and-" you cut him off with a shy smile "yeah I'll give you my number" he looked shocked but a smile started to bloom on his face. You reach for a pen from the pen holder beside you and put your hand out "can I see your arm?" He holds his arm out to you and you start writing your number on his arm. Your touch burns his skin in the best way possible "just call me whenever" you say with a flustered smile on your face "yeah of course! S-see you later" He grabs his tea and looks down at his feet as he walks back to where Ned was still sitting. He quickly grabs his bag as Ned complains that he's not done with his coffee yet but he still follows peter out the door.
Omg coffee boy asked for my number. Maybe this fantasy can turn into something real after all.
DING! your phone goes off
UNKNOWN - "hey! its peter :)"
It started by accident. You really didn't mean to. Working for silco could be a pain sometimes, it's always blood, guts and walking on eggshells or just dealing with jinx which is a whole problem on it's own.
It's Hell.
You've been working with silco for a long time now, you're as close as sevika is to him. You're one of his best employees. He trusts you to make good decisions. But Silco is never one to show emotion other then anger and that smug smirk of his. Until one day you accidentally scared the shit out of him.
Walking into the last drop with sevika after a mission immediately gains you some attention from the customers. Turning their heads towards you, but looks away once you turn their way. "That didn't go to bad huh?" sevika smirks as she sits down on the bar stool. You've both just took care of some assholes that didn't pay silco back, coming out with only a few cuts and bruises. You laugh "I'm going to go report back to silco that we finished the job" she nods as you begin to walk up the stairs to go to silcos office. Once you made it up stairs you turn the corner to come face to face with silco himself. He jumps with a surprised face, and next thing you know you have the blade of his dagger at the tip of your nose. You both pause, then he slowly takes the dagger away from you, he clears his throat and straightens his coat "I see you are back already" he gives you a glare "I suspect everything went as planned?" He asks "yes sir" you reply "good" he says coldly as he walks away
Did I just jump scare him?
You bit your lip to stop yourself from smirking, as you turn around and go back downstairs.
After that you never talked about it again. You didn't feel the need to bring it up and silco definitely wasn't going to say anything about it so life went on.
Until you scared him again.
This took place a month and a half after the first time you took him by surprise. But this time it was in his office. You needed to ask silco about what time the meeting you'll be having tomorrow started. Walking up to his door you knock softly three times on the old wood, you sworn you heard him say "come in" so you opened the door and made your way inside. He's sat at his desk looking at a book he was writing in. After a few seconds of him not saying anything or looking at you, you call out to him "sir?" He jumps with a small gasp leaving his lips making him drop his pen, he looks up with wide eyes. His glaze turns into a cold angry glare "why did you not knock before entering?!" He says in a loud Stern voice "I did knock and thought I heard you say come in?" You say slightly confused "maybe you need to get your ears checked because i certainly did not!" He rest his hand on his forehead and closes his eyes in irritation "what do you want?"
"I was just wondering what time the meeting started?" He glared at you again "4:35pm" you nod and turn around to leave. Once you close the door behind you, you couldn't help but laugh slightly.
Okay now it started to be kinda on purpose. Now that you realize you could take silco off guard it's been your personal goal to see if you could scare him again. Trying to not make it obvious that you're TRYING to take him off guard. Subtly lurking in the shadows to see if you could get him again. You've got him few times already. Like when you were hanging out with jinx in her workshop and he stopped by the tell her something. Seeing he was there you waited outside until he came back out again. When he opened the door you jumped out acting like you just got there, he looked like he just seen a ghost. Jinx's loud laugh doesn't help his frustration as he pushes past you with another cold glare.
This was his last straw. After a two months of jump scaring him he finally had enough. So he decided to take you off guard instead. Waiting inside by the door of his office. He sees you open the door quietly and make your way in but is confused when you don't see him sitting at his desk. He makes his way behind you and touches your shoulder making you jump with a gasp, you whip around to face him "I know you've been trying to take me off guard for awhile now. I don't appreciate this foolery" he says with a Stern look. You laugh slightly "im sorry, it's just enjoyable to scare you" a smirk beginning to grow on your face. You could almost see the corner of his lips turn upward slightly "I advise you to stop this nonsense" he puts his hands behind his back "No promises!"
"Then two could play at that game" he smirks
