Shadows and Sinners | A Striker x Reader Story

Normal

Our relationship changed after that night. From that point on, Striker and I became inseparable. We never discussed exactly what we were to each other, but it was obvious we weren't platonic. 

One evening while curled up on the couch together watching TV, I asked, "Will you come with me to Lena's tomorrow?"

Striker raised an eyebrow as he looked down at me, "How many herbs are you planning to bring back?"

I couldn't help but smile as I curled up closer to him, "Just the usual amount. But I assume you would follow me again like last time and figured I would just ask you to come along. It would make things look a bit more normal, don't you think?"

Striker at least had the decency to look a bit embarrassed. Chuckling, he pulled me closer and replied, "If you like, then yes I'll come with you."

The whole scene gave me a sense of normalcy I had not experienced in a long time. Despite everything else in our lives, this felt simple. Just two people enjoying each other's company. Some small nagging part in the back of my mind could help but wonder just how long this would manage to last.
