Lemon boy (Garou x reader)

10-Creeping willows whispers

Tw: brief Mentions of murder.

It had a been a few days since my odd confession to Garou. Nothing had changed, he probably seen it more as an allyship rather than a partnership anyway. But I was fine with waiting , even if it was slowly eating at my insides. I wanted him to return my feelings but I knew it probably never happen. Sitting down at the counter I looked at my hand, the faint feeling of his semi-affectionate squeeze was good enough for now.

Fumbling about as gracefully as possible, Garou stumbled out of his room with a wide yawn. His wolffish teeth exposed to me.

"Mornin." Was all he said as he walked towards the fridge and chugged a carton of milk.

"Morning hot stuff." I teased somewhat sarcastically watching him stiffen in surprise.

"Too early for that shit y/n."

"Better not be we're going shopping for more medical supplies for you."

He turned to me eyes cut. Approaching me I watched his body sway. Taking me by surprise he grabbed me by the chin tilting my head up to face him. Licking his lips he smirked his dilated pupils zoning in on my own.

"Two can play this game." He growled deep and guttural. Holy shit. I mentally cursed at my situation. I was flustered but not backing down. From a strangers point of view we probably looked like some strangers about to murder one another. But we knew better,we were playing a game of predator vs prey. Neither of us knew who was what. He leaned in closer our lips now millimeters apart. Our eyes both looked at one another daring the other to do it. He pulled away laughing. I huffed laughing along as well.

"Cmon finish eating and we'll get going." He laughed again more smug this time. Nodding he went about gobbling down a piece of toast. I rolled my eyes not bothering to tell him to slow down. Why do I even like this man? I sarcastically asked myself. Slipping on a hoodie I stood at the door leaning on the door frame. He approached with a bored expression.

"Let's get going shorty." Huffing at the nick name my so called ally had given me.

"How's your wounds healing?"

"What do you care." He spat in a childish manner.

"Fine. Suffer then." teased back to get a rise out of him. Walking along me I noticed his attention was else where, his eyes hooded. I didn't mind, I just shoved my hands in my pockets humming as we walked to the pharmacy. Walking inside, I held the door open for Garou as he nodded in thanks. Grabbing a basket I began to grab a good amount of each item.

"Gauze, Advil, disinfectant, healing balm, bandaids, stitching needles and thread. Anything else we need?" Garou looked over the basket examining its contents. He nodded approvingly.

"Nah that seems good." He grinned briefly causing me to blush. Shaking it off I approached the check out counter. The girls eyes widened .

"I-is everything alright ma'am? That's quite a lot." I flushed thinking of an excuse.

"Y-yes I just run a makeshift clinic is all." I lied, nervously smiling.

"Oh! My apologies how nice of a caring couple to run a clinic!" She happily cheered finishing putting our items in the bags.

"C O U P L E!?" Garou gaped in utter surprise. Causing me to sigh with a almost saddened expression.

"O-oh was I mistaken? My apologies."

"It's quite alright, have a nice day." I said taking our bag gently from her grasp. I nodded in thanks and then left. Garou following suit let out a laugh.

"Imagine! Us a couple!?" He laughed wholeheartedly while I was left some what dumbfounded at how deeply he considered me more of a ally than a friend.

"Y-yeah...imagine." My face flushed immediately feeling silly that the thought even bothered to come to mind.

"H-hey what's wrong!?" He asked confusedly as we walked back home.

"Nothing." I replied curtly not wanting to embarrass myself anymore than I already had.

"Tell me y/n."

"I thought we were allies?"

"We are. But it's weak minded to think a partnership of any kind would strengthen our alliance."

Weak minded!! I thought to myself growing irritated. I kept my mouth shut to keep from saying anything I'd regret. My expression turned stern.

"Yeah you're right. Let's just forget it."
He nodded. We both seemed to be in a bitter mood. His words played in my mind bitterly. My heart sped angrily. Tonight would be a long one.
