Picture this (Till Lindemann X reader)

Chapter 23

After a quick visit to the bathrooms Till and I start washing our hands. 'Well that was fun and unexpected' I smile dreamish. 'Unexpected? Not so much' Till admits. I simply snicker, knowing he's right. 'That tension between us was absolutely killing me, but I loved every second of it' Till explains as he dries his hands. 

I walk towards him, drying my hands after he's done. I focus on my hands while he's standing very close next to me, leaning against the wall, watching my every move. Those butterflies are beginning to do their work again. 

'Same goes for me, but I never thought it actually would happen' I tell him, 'I'm just the photographer after all' I glance up at him. Till raises an eyebrow, 'A fucking gorgeous one, that's for sure' he tells me, making me blush a little, 'thank you' is all I manage to say. So he thinks I'm pretty, but what about my personality? Is that something he'll pay attention to? Or is it only lust that he's thinking about...

Maybe that's all he wants. Have fun with me so long I am here, but nothing more than that. Should I ask him? Now is the time. 'Come on, (Y/N), ask him now!'

I clear my throat, 'Till?' I ask him, watching him fix his hair in the mirror. 'Yes?' he answers in that deep soothing voice of his, noticing my tone has gotten more serious. 'Can I ask you something?' I ask, not liking the insecurity I'm showing. 'You can ask me anything, beautiful' he tells me. 

'Are we going to-' I'm being cut off '(Y/N), Till! We're getting cold out here. Come quick, please!' Someone yells from the hallways. 'We're on our way!' Till yells back before returning his attention to me, 'what were you saying?' he asks. 

I shake my head, 'nevermind, we should get back' I tell him with a fake smile. 'Are you sure?' he asks.  I nod, 'yeah, we can talk about it later' I say. Till nods once, 'alright then. Are you ready to go?' He asks. I nod, 'yep!' I say before we walk back to the closet to get all the things we need. Right after that we walk back outside where some people are still sitting. The rest of the crowd has moved inside, dancing and drinking. 

'There you two are! Finally!' Paul calls out. I see Richard grinning wide as he watched Till and I make a walk of shame towards the firepit. Even though I think Till has already forgotten about Richard walking in on us. 'It took a little longer than expected' Till says. 'Then what were you two doing?' Richard asks with a teasing grin. 

Till grins back amused at Richard, 'I couldn't find the lightswitch to begin with, then someone had to use the bathroom,' Till points over his shoulder with his thumb towards me, 'and we just got carried away in a conversation about the project and her work' Till explains. I admire his ability to make up such a lie on the spot even though half of that wasn't a lie. That's probably what makes it so convincing. 

I can't help but feel a little hurt that Till doesn't tell everyone we were just busy with each other, of course I appreciate him not telling everyone that we just had sex, but I wonder if he doesn't want everyone to know we're close. I sit down next to Richard on the couch, watching Till build the fire just like the rest of the guys.

'So who's ready for some shots?' Flake asks, setting down a tray of I don't know how many filled shotglasses. I snicker, seeing everyone take two or three, leaving four for me, 'I'm not shotting all that at once' I tell them, taking two shotglasses. 'Of course you do!' Paul jokes as Richard sets the glasses in front of me. I chuckle and roll my eyes playfully. 

We all hold one in the air, 'To us!' They all cheer before chugging down the shots. I quickly follow, shotting three of the four. 'Come on, (Y/N), just one more' Till smirks teasingly, 'I know you have it in you' he says. 'Yeah, you're a little fighter, we know' Richard snickers, offering me the last one. I laugh, 'Fine, fine!' I say before quickly chugging it down, making the group cheer. 'There we go, that's more like it!'
