The Unwanted Encounter (Ash Lynx x Reader)

"Ash, for god's love, get up."

"Ash, Ash!"

"This is the 5th time. Wake up already. It's way past noon! Jeeez, how does one even stay alive like that."

"I made breakfast for you. I'll wake you up if it's the last thing I do, blondie!" I said, pulling Ash out of his bed, leading him to the bathroom.

"A shower should wake you up." I said, closing the door behind me as I successfully praised myself for making Ash leave his bed.

I sighed upon hearing a thud in the bath tub just when I closed the bathroom door. I went back in the bathroom, pulling the curtains apart as my gaze met with a sleeping blonde in the bath tub.

"Yeah, forget about shower. Let's eat." I pulled the blonde out of the tub, dragging him to the dining table.

"Here. Avocado and shrimp salad, your favourite. Eat and you'll wake up. Hold on, let me get you some milk, too." I said, getting some milk from the fridge, but stopping when I heard another thud.

I looked back, seeing the blonde fall asleep on the table with a fork in his hand. "What the hell. You're supposed to be the one taking care of me."

"Back in the shower, blondie." I dragged Ash back in the bath tub, turning the faucet around so the water could wake him up.

"Breakfast in five, okay?" I said, walking out of the bathroom to give the blonde some privacy. "Oh, and I've left clothes for you, don't forget to wear them." I said, closing the door behind me. I went in the kitchen, grabbed the newspaper and started slowly skimming trough it.

After a good 15 minutes, a certain blonde finally walked in the kitchen, a towel wrapped around his neck as he dried his hair.

"Finally." I grunted, flipping a page trough the newspaper.

"When did you get up?" He asked, taking the milk carton out of the fridge.

"07:00 am. I couldn't sleep last night." I sighed, realising my sleeping problems were starting to make their way back in my life. "Low blood pressure, huh? You're like a frail little girl." I smirked, looking at the blonde's back as he chugged down the milk from the bottle itself.

"The elderly get up early. Why don't you start early morning croquet?" Ash grinned, chugging down more of the milk.

"Damn, seems like he's fully awake." I scowled, grunting under my breath.

"Ehh, avocado and shrimp salade, huh." Ash said, taking a seat in front of him. "Somebody ate some." He blurted out out of nowhere, an extremely serious expression etching on his face.

"Yeah, that was you." I said, dumbfounded.

"This is so good. You'd make a good wife." The blonde ate his food, smirking at me as he saw agitation making its way on my face.

"You-"

"See! That's the old hag expression~"

"BLONDIE!" I got up from my chair, pointing my spoon towards him.

"OLD HAG!" He screamed back, pointing his fork at me.

"Shut up." I fell back on my chair, pouting as I crossed my arms.

"Oi, let me see the paper." Ash said, staring at the newspaper I held.

"I'm reading it."

"Read it later. You take too long to read, old hag. Why don't you go read some of those anime manga's?"

I grunted at him, furrowing my eyebrows as I shoved the newspaper at his side of the table.

"Thanks. I'll buy you a manga later." *ding dong* "Hey, someone's at the door, go open it."
