Going Slightly Mad ( Mad Hatter/Jefferson x reader) (Book 1)

8:20 A.M ⌚

A/n: WARNING!!!! I'm not good at writing male points of view, so........ y'all don't judge me.

Your P.O.V:

I walked into Granny's, taking a seat in one of the booths. I had asked for the day off and Granny agreed. I arrived five minutes earlier then the arranged time. I also noticed that my mom and Emma were talking. I was eager to hear what they were saying but I also knew that eavesdropping was bad, so I tried my best to ignore them.

"Oh hey Y/n!" I turned my attention to Henry, who was walking my way.

"Hi Henry! How are you?" I asked. He smiled.

"I'm doing great! Your mom's gonna go read to a comatose patient who's Prince Charming." He said. I faked a smile before he said he had to get to school. Henry left, allowing me to stop my fake smile. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 8:20. I got nervous about who it was gonna be.

Maybe Regina? Maybe someone I don't know. Or, is this a prank. I thought. I was about to get up when someone's hands covered my eyes.

"Guess who." They said.

(please forgive me for the cheesiness)

Jefferson's P.O.V:

I saw Y/n sitting in a booth at Granny's through the window. I walked inside the restaurant, feeling kind of happy to see Y/n. I made my way to her and covered her eyes with my hands.

"Guess who." I said. Y/n tensed a little bit before realizing it was me.

"Jefferson? Is that you ?" She asked. I uncovered her eyes and she looked up.

"So it is you." She said. I sat down across from her.

"Who else did you think it was?" I asked, smirking.

"Oh I don't, maybe some guy who'd come to kidnap me." Y/n replied. I gave out a small chuckle.

"So why did you want to meet up?" She asked. I hesitated to answer her,  since I thought that she wouldn't believe me. 

" i just had to see  you." I lied. I swallowed down the lump in my throat. Y/n gave me the, "Are you sure" look.

"So that's why you left a note in front of my door." She replied. I nodded.

"Does that make this a date?  She asked. I felt myself feel the embarrassment shoot through my body. This was not going according to plan.

"Uh, if you want, this could be our first date, you know." I stuttered. Y/n got up, sat down next to me, and laid her head on my shoulder.

"I would like this to be our first date." She responded. A waitress came over to take our order. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. Y/n ordered the same thing as I.

"Here you go!" The waitress said when she came back with our food.

"Thanks!" Y/n said. She began to eat her sandwich fast.

"Slow down." I said, resisting the urge to laugh. Y/n looked at me, her cheeks puffed, and bread crumbs all over her mouth. She looked so cute like that.

"I can has cheezburger?" She asked. I laughed, my soda nearly coming out of my nose. Y/n laughed too.

*Time skip brought to you by Emma's car and my music playlist*

It was early in the afternoon once Y/n decided to let out the three cheeseburgers she ate in two minutes. We decided to take an afternoon walk in the woods. Y/n's hand was close to mine as we trudged through the woods.

"So how long have you been living in Storybrooke?" She asked out of the blue.

"Uh, I've been living here for twenty eight years." I replied. Of course that was a lie.

"Wow. I've been living here ever since I was three years old." She said.

"Huh." I mumbled. We continued walking until it was late at night.

"Well, I think we should head back." Y/n yawned, stretching out her arms.

"I agree." We were about to turn around but Y/n's phone rang. She took it out of her pocket to answer.

"Hello?" She asked. She talked to the person on the other side of the phone. Once she was done talking, her facial expression showed fear, concern, and eagerness.

"We need to go rescue someone. C'mon Jefferson." She said. She grabbed my hand and we made our way to the toll bridge.

"What are we doing here?" I asked.

"We are gonna try and find a missing  man who must've gone here." Y/n replied. She walked round the river bank, using her phone flashlight to find footprints. A couple moments later, there were other flashlights. I noticed it was the Huntsman, Snow White, and Emma.

"Y/n? Is that you sweetie?" Snow White asked Y/n. She nodded and hugged her mom. 

"Hey over here!" We found the missing man on the ground. Snow White ran over to him.

"Well, we found our missing man." Y/n said. "What now?"

"We're gonna take our John Doe back to the hospital." The huntsman said. Everyone agreed and they took back John Doe to the hospital.
