Lil' Thing (Meta Knight x Reader)

Chapter 4 "The Night"

As I look over on the bedside table, the silver digital clock with a miniature King Dedede on it just switched to 1am, and I haven't gotten any sleep at all. I'm constantly shaking and paranoid, not to mention me being EXTREMELY CONFUSED!!

I roll out of the bed silently, trying not to wake anybody up (assuming that they were asleep) and I started to roam around the castle, it seemed nobody was awake so I decided to keep walking around, it wasn't like I was going to sleep or anything
¯(°.o)/¯

As I find a kitchen, I see alot of plates, bowls and utensils, you'd understand since it's a castle after all, I treated myself with some chocolate ice-cream and some cookies, at least they have good food here, I can at least say that but I'm not sure about the King. By the thought of getting caught by someone I quickly take the rest of my food and I speedwalk down the halls trying to find my way back to my room but I was interrupted by a, "what are you doing?" coming from behind me. It was the grape again.

I jumped six feet into the air, shaking more, dropping the ice cream and cookie jar. Luckily the cookie jar was made of plastic otherwise it would have smashed everywhere. The Knight stares at me for a second. In fright I slowly walk backwards until I'm met with the wall.

"You shouldn't be out this early", he continues. "I suggest you go back to your room, it's cold in these halls", he adds while letting out a quiet sigh, it looked like he was tired and wanting to go back to bed. "Y-yeah uh, I can't find the room-", I mention as I grab the cookie jar from the ground, you could tell I was still shaking because the jar was moving. "You don't have to be scared. Of me at least", says the grape, he grabs my hand in a sort of tight hold and leads me back to my room.

Once we get to my room I quickly let go and start twiddling my thumbs together, I do not like this silence, it's weird. "Okay well I'm here now so you can go!! leave!" I command, I don't like his presence I feel strange. "Well hey, who crumbled your cookies?" asks the Knight followed by a little giggle then looks at the jar of cookies, most of them got snapped into 3 or 4 pieces since I dropped them. "hmph", I reply before walking in the room and locking the door.

I get back into the bed and getting under every single blanket, they're f/c blankets and very fluffy, I fall asleep eating the cookies while the ice-cream slowly melts in it's box on the beside table, clock shows 2:23am. I sleep all the way through until the morning.
