Feeling's Mutual ( HANCOCK X FEMALE READER )

Chapter 12

Hancock's POV:

It was finally the day of when I can take a vacation. Of course, I was thrilled, but it was bad enough that I have to leave Salome with Grandma Nyon.

It was 6 a.m., and I looked to my side to see y/n sleeping comfortably with her mouth open. I chuckled at how foolish she looked like right now. But my smile slowly faded as I remembered yesterday's incidents.

She's been through so many complications..
I ran my hand through her hair as I stared at her sleeping face. "Don't think I forgot about the kiss you gave me."

Of course, I recalled when she kissed me.. I was taken aback, I didn't think this kid would be bold enough to do that.

... my lips were pure and have not once been touched by anyone... but now that has changed.

I stretched and headed to the bathroom to take a long bath before I start off the day. After hours of rearranging everything, I just put on my robe that I use everyday and woke up y/n.

She was almost drooling on my sheets.. disgusting ..

Before that drool landed on my pristine sheet, I immediately shook y/n. "Wake up, brat!" Her left eye slowly peered out, and she groaned.

"Ahh, morning," she says, rubbing her eyes together. But as she stood up, she immediately looked away.

I was confused till I looked down and saw my robe slowly slipping down. I hastily stood up, my face flushed."Wake up and get breakfast downstairs. We have a long day ahead of us," I said as I motioned for her to leave the room so I can change.

She nodded and walked away very quickly. Ugh she's so cute when she's embarrassed.

I soon changed into my formal educational attire and made my way downstairs. And, to my surprise, y/n was cooking. "What happened to the housemaids?" I questioned.

"I told them that I would be preparing breakfast."

"Oh? Just because you made yesterday's dinner, you're convinced you can cook now?" I said as I sat down at the table.

"Well, cooking isn't my strong suit, but I'll cook for you any day." I was caught off guard by what she said, and I could practically see the back of her head turn hot red.

"How cocky," I chuckled once again. "What are you even making?"

She then approaches me with our plates in both of her hands. "Pancakes," she says setting it down the table.

"How lovely" I said as I smothered the pancakes in maple syrup.

As I was about to dig in, I could sense y/n staring at me to check my complexion if the pancakes were suitable for my taste.

"It's nice," I said assuring her which gave her a big smile that I couldn't help but giggle.

"What?" she asked.

"Oh nothing, you've just changed so much."

"Well.. you make me want to be a better person," she says averting her eye contact with me.

"Oh?"

"But don't expect me to always be nice to you, okay?"

Is this what they call a tsundere? Because that's how she's behaving right now.

"Did you inform your parents about the approaching international competition?"

"Yeah, they agreed."

"Good. You know, there's a slim chance you'll lose considering you didn't study at all this whole month," I said stepping on her toe. "Oww! Don't worry, leave it up to my big smart brain," she confidently says.

•••

We started off by going to her house to grab her stuff and say goodbye to her parents.
She grabbed her suitcase, is she that convinced that she'll win?

"Mom.. Dad, we're off," she plainly says grabbing her stuff. So this is her parents? Is this brat not gonna introduce me..

"Y/n .. who's this lady first?"

"Ohhh, this is Hancock, she's my teacher and she's accompanying me to the competition," she says sluggishly.

"Oh my, please to meet you, I'm y/n's mother and this is her father," she says as she reaches in for a hand shake.

"Ah yes, it's a pleasure to meet y/n's parents," I said shaking her hands.

"When will you be back?" Her mother asked.

"Well if we're lucky enough, we may come back the next month but if not, we'll return very shortly."

"Oh, well, good luck to you, dear," she says giving y/n a kiss on the forehead.

"You're embarrassing me ma," y/n replies getting flushed.

..

We then headed to the academy so that I can sign my release as well as y/n's.

"Well, aren't you going to bid your friends adieu?" I said sarcastically, knowing she didn't have any.

"Aren't you being too harsh empress. Besides, we're just gone for a month," she replies.

"Go and at least say goodbye to your teachers while I handle some papers here."

She sighed and nodded. I eventually went to my office to email the papers to the old man. I advised Marguerite to take my place for the time being, and if there were any problems, she should notify me.

It wasn't long until I finished and emailed the papers,
y/n came back with a neutral expression.

"Well what happened to you?" I asked, spinning my chair, facing her.

"Well, half of the kids mocked me for being cocksure in my skill to win the competition, but I'll show them. They're lucky I didn't shove my fist up their throat," she says lying down on the sofa.

"I'd love to see you win that competition."

"So, you're also doubting me?"

"I didn't-"

"Why don't we have a bet then?" she says with a smirk.

cocky and arrogant I tell you

"I'm listening."

"If I win first place, then.. why don't you do something for me.." So creepy

"What makes you sure you'll even win?"

"Well, I just know," she grinned.

"And if you lose?"

".. Whatever you want," she says still with a smirk but I could tell she was nervous about what I'll make her do.

"Alright. I'm in."
