Morris Delancey X Reader

Chapter 9

Y/N POV

I was shocked at how Race yelled at me about being nice to Morris and how he called me disgusting. I couldn't really understand why he said that so I ran back to the circulation center in hopes of someone still being there.

When I ran in all the boys were gone the only people left were the Delancey's. Morris saw me and ran over.

"Oh Y/N what's wrong" he asked sincerely as he wiped a tear from my face. I hadn't even realized I was crying. But I did now and started to let it all out to Morris. I woundn't say I'm weak but fighting like that brings back bad memories.

"M-m-orris, R-ra-ce a-an-and I got in a f-fight an-d" I started but I didn't think he knew what I was saying with all the stuttering. He wrapped me in a hug and stroked my hair. I calmed down a bit and he asked me

"Y/N what did Race say to you? Why are you so upset? What did he do?" Morris askes desperately trying not to get angered. I saw this and wrapped him back in a hug. His face softened when I did this and he smiled and wrapped his arms back around my waist.

"I need to sell my papes but can we talk later?" I asked in his ear.

"Meet me here at 9:00 ok?"

I nodded into the hug before there was a voice.

"GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF OF HER" Alberts voice rang out. I turned and saw Albert and Jojo both looking ready to murder Morris. Albert started advancing when I walked in front of him.

"Albert he was comforting me Race was being shitty and I was crying and-" I stopped for a second "Morris didn't do anything wrong I promise" I say

Jojo nodddd and Albert looked supicuos. "Yeah Race told us to come find you because you need a selling partner and he said that he fucked up" Jojo said. I nodded and walked twords them and gave Morris a small wave.

"Are you ok?" Jojo asked

"No, Race he-" I sighed "let's just sell the papers" I said and they nodded.

After selling

Albert and Jojo sell outside of Mrs.Meddas theatre so we sold very fast since she has so many costomers. As we walked Jojo asked "Sweet what did Race say?" And I just shrugged. He nodded and linked his arm with mine and Albert linked his with my other arm and we walked back to the lodge. There were some people who yelled at us to not take up so much space on the side walk but we ingnored them.

As we neared the steps I grew nervous. "I don't want to see Race right now" I blurted and they each nodded. "We will distract him and you can slip upstairs onto Jacks Penthouse" Albert said and they both walked in.

I peered through the window and saw they had just started a game of poker. I saw this as my chance and disappeared up to Jacks penthouse. I watched the city and it really was a sight for wonders. My thoughts were broken by someone climbing the latter. I turned to see Crutchie and he smiled and waved.

"Hiya Sweet" he beamed

"Hey Crutch" I said a bit sadly

"What's the matter Sweet, who do I need to kill? He asked. I smiled and said "No one today Crutch. What time is it?" I asked and he pulled out a pocket watch from his vest.

"8:45"

"Crap I have to go can you cover for me if anyone asks" I pleaded he nodded and I went down the fire escape.

I got there and saw a figure who resembled Morris. I decided I wanted to scare him so I quietly crept up to him and wrapped my arms around his toros. He yelped and held up his fists, ready for a brawl. I'm sure I looked terrified because that wasn't what I was expecting so when he realized it was me he looked at his fists back at my face then wrapped me in a hug.

"Morris" I breathed out.

"Y/N" he said in the same manner.

Once we pulled away from the hug Morris leaned in and planted a kiss on my lips. We stayed like that for a bit. Then he took both my hands in his and asked "Do youse wanna go gets food?" "Sure" I said with a smile on my face. We intertwined hands and walked a few blocks before stopping at a small diner with delicious smells filling the air. We sat down at a table and a server came over.

"Hello what can I get you to drink today?" He asked I decided on water because it was free.

"Could I please have a water" I asked and he nodded and scribbled that down on a notepad.

"Y/N I'm paying" Morris said.

"No I'm paying for my own bill" I said back to Morris.

"No you're not" he said.

"Yes I am!" I said with some force.

"2 glasses of red wine please" Morris asked the waiter with a smirk.

"No Morris I cant afford that" I said

"Which is why I'm paying" he said with that same smirk plastered on his face. I huffed and ultimately dropped it and when he realized he won this battle his smirk grew a bit wider.
