"White Lie" [c!TommyInnit x fem!Reader]

🥀 Chapter 04

I woke up to the smell of mushroom stew and cooked rabbit, I looked around to see no sign of Tommy but my father was there, making some food. I noticed I had a blanket over me, I set it aside and sat up. "Dad?" I call for him.

He looks at me and stopped cooking, "Hey there, my little princess." He says, untying his hair, letting it flow down. His hair has always been long and was a very pretty pink color.

"Have you seen Tommy?" I ask him worryingly.

Father laughs quietly, ruffling my hair. "He's outside, sitting by the stairs." He motions me to go to him and I nodded, thanking my father.

I went outside to see Tommy sitting there with his blanket wrapped around him, looking at the starry night sky. He soon notices me, "Oh, hey (Y/n)." He says, smiling at me.

I smiled at him back, "Hey, mind if I sit down here with you?" I ask and he nodded in response. I realized that it was extra cold outside since we live in the snowy biome and it's already nighttime, I was basically shaking a bit.

Tommy shared his blanket with me, and we both huddled together, making ourselves warm. "Th-Thank you," I said to him and looked up at the night sky, the stars were amazing, they were twinkling.

[ Tommy's POV ]

I felt nervous around her, and I never get nervous around anyone else... Well, aside from Dream and Technoblade, both of them are kinda scary in a way. I look at (Y/n), she was smiling beautifully, she was captivating, just like the first time I saw her in the forest.

"Isn't the stars beautiful tonight?" (Y/n) asks me, still looking at the night sky.

"Indeed, it really is beautiful," I said, while still looking at her. I couldn't take my eyes off of her ever since we met, it felt like I was under a spell or something. I think I love her. But isn't love a strong word? Maybe... Like her. There we go, that sounds a whole lot better.

If only I could tell her.

[ Y/n's POV ]

I look at Tommy only to see him looking at me, he quickly looks away and hides his face. I feel my face heating up, I'm so glad that it's nighttime or he would've seen my face turn red.

Tommy cleared his throat, "S-So, how was your sleep?" He asks, looking onto the sky once again.

"It was a-alright, how about you?" I ask him back, looking at the boy.

He looks back at me, staring straight into my eyes. "It was great." He says. We both just stared at each other for a while and Tommy randomly laughed out of nowhere, and I blushed, even more, hearing him laugh was my favorite.

"Wh-Why'd you laugh? You big dummy." I hit him, not too hard, on his shoulder.

Tommy was still laughing out loud, holding his stomach, struggling to breathe. "I-It's nothing! I swear!"

I was getting a bit frustrated, he was making me feel things, that's why. "Oh my god, I'm going back inside." I pouted and stood up, stomping back in.

"(Y/nnnn), wait for meee!" Tommy whined, going back in with me. He randomly gave me a back hug, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Gotchu." He says, chuckling like a little kid.

I turn back at him, with my hands on his chest, trying to push him away. But his arms were still wrapped on my waist, tightening it, making sure I couldn't get out of his grip.

"Tommy, I swear to god... If you don't let me go, I will-" I glared at him, but before I could finish my sentence, we both heard a loud sound coming from the kitchen.
