ftm reader x various oneshot book

Gauche Adlai///healer

(Yes I'm writing for Black Clover now- and this oneshot uses they/them pronouns, but feel free to insert he/him if you prefer. I was just feeling strongly non-binary when I started writing it so that's the direction I went in. Say what you will about Gauche but he sure is ✨pretty✨  I'm sure nobody's reading this lmao; I'm the only weirdo who likes Gauche- yes I know this chapter is super weird-)

"Oh, Marie..." Gauche sat in the chair by Marie's sickbed, head in his hands as he agonized over her health. Since she'd been brought here, he hadn't left her side. Most healers would not have allowed this, but this was no ordinary healer taking care of Marie. (Y/n) (L/n) was healing her, and they happened to have a massive crush on Gauche. Because of this, they kind of let Gauche do whatever he wanted.

As the Black Bulls' resident healer (y/n) rarely had time for work outside the squad, but they had made an exception today for Marie Adlai.

"Gauche."

(Y/n) stood in the doorway, watching Gauche warily. "I can watch over her, if you'd like to sleep."

"I can't leave her."

"I know," said (y/n) patiently. "You can stay here and still get some rest. Marie would want you to take care of yourself, wouldn't she?"

Gauche sighed. "I suppose so. Fine, I'll sleep. But just for a short while!"

"Of course, whatever you want. Just get some rest."

Gauche leaned back in his chair, closing his brown eye and trying to relax. "Thank you for healing her, (y/n)."

"That's kind of my job, Gauche."

"Yes but..you heal for the squad. You didn't have to take on the extra work."

"Tch, like hell I didn't. This is your sister, Gauche. I wanted to take care of her. It's no problem really, I'm just glad she's going to be okay."

"Yes, as am I," said Gauche with a smile. 

(Y/n) sighed, noticing the joyful look in Gauche's eye at the thought of his sister. (Y/n) felt jealous of Marie, of how much Gauche loved her.

"Can I ask you something?" (Y/n) blurted suddenly.

"Of course," answered Gauche.

"I was wondering if you could give me some advice...there's this guy that I've had feelings for, for quite some time now, but he's got his mind on someone else. I just don't know what to do. I really care about him, but I don't think I can bear it when he turns me down."

Gauche turned his dark gaze to you, his eye glimmering with malice. "Who is this man? I'll kill him myself."

"Wh-What?!"

"I said-"

"I heard what you said! Why would you kill him, Gauche?" (Y/n) almost forgot, for a moment, that Gauche was the person they were discussing. But once they realized, they had to refrain from telling Gauche not to kill himself. 

"Anyone who makes you unhappy should die," he said darkly.

You were....shocked. Never had you heard Gauche sound so passionately protective of anyone but Marie. "Gauche, that's really kinda sweet! You know, except for the killing people part..."

"What makes you think someone would turn you down, (y/n)?"

(Y/n) shrugged. "I dunno," they said, "he's just so preoccupied with his- um, with someone else. And I don't think he'd have the time or motivation to ever focus on me. I don't mind, really."
