My Scottish Ogre - Shrek x Reader love story

5

The bright morning sun awoke Y/n, she stretched out her arms and groggily stepped out of her bed. Y/n's eyes scouted the room for a clock or watch or rather something that could tell her the time.

Her electric blue eyes landed on a old rusty alarm clock, the time on the clock read 8:00 am.

'Not that late then' Y/n thought to herself as she slipped on her clothes and exited the room.

She wondered down the wide hallway into the kitchen and dining area, yesterday felt like a fever dream, I mean how often does a random stranger invite you into their house and give you a place to sleep?

Her thoughts were stopped by a slight cough ahead of her.

"Morning" Shrek gleefully stated, his rich Scottish accent shining through.

"Good morning" Y/n replied smiling. "Sleep Well?"

"Very well, and you"

"Very well."

Shrek motioned for her to sit down, Y/n did so.

"So..." Shrek trailed off.
"So" Y/n copied
"Tell me about yourself." He said looking from his chocolate brown eyes into hers. "How did you get here? Why are u homeless?"

Y/n told him everything and he listened intensely, letting her talk and occasionally putting in calming words of comfort.

"So yeah, my Mother basically thought that because I'm an ogre I'm.. well, I'm a- a burden"

"That's tough" Shrek sighed, seeing Y/n's eyes well up with tears slightly.
"Heyy don't cry you have got me now!" This made Y/n smile and let out a breathy laugh.

"How about you, Shrek? Have you always been an ogre?" Y/n quizzed.

"Well" Shrek started, slightly hesitant having never opened up to anyone like this before. "Yes, I've always been an ogre. My Mam was an ogre and my Pa was an ogre so it kinda runs in the family" he chuckled "But I was sent away when I was seven, ogre rules you see, all ogres are sent to live on their own at seven years old."

"Wow" Y/n whispered.

"Yeah" Shrek replied smiling sadly.

They gazed into each other's eyes before Y/n started to sing. "This is my fight song, take back my life song"

Shrek carried on the song "prove I'm alright song, my powers turned on"

They both started to harmonise "Starting right now I'll be strong, I'll play my fight song and I don't really care if no one else believes 'cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me"
