Guilt (pruitt x reader Oneshots)

Pruitt X Male Reader

A/n:
A request from @Nicolridd thanks for the request <3

Tried to get it organised as soon as could after finishing college haha.

Back to the story haha)

By now you had heard of a new priest in town due to monsignor pruitt's mysterious illness that had taken him while away from the island. You hadn't met the man himself yet but gossip soon spreads in a small town like Crockett.

Not being too religious after what happens to your brother. You tried to avoid the church and you hadn't been to his first sermon, and Beverly Keane had noticed being very..... devoted to her practice she was very insistent to people that they at least show up to welcome the new priest, father Paul you believed his name was.

Stepping out of the shower y/n decided to try and meet Father paul today, just to get Beverly off his back about it, you weren't really a people person mostly known as a sort of recluse in the town, you did mingle with Joe from time to time and the sheriff, but that's about it. You just didn't really like people, people saw you as a grouch and perhaps you played on that a bit. It was funny you'd admit.

Getting dressed you sport a white dress shirt, black dark jeans and a donkey jacket, you sigh and run your hand through your h/C hair just wanting to get this meeting over with so that you can go back to avoiding that... Place.... like the plague. You feed your cat jasper, a British shorthair, and make your way out the door.

Bev was already on her morning round around the town, you noticed and you gave a brief wave to acknowledge her existence, but unfortunately she made her way over to you.

"Excuse me, y/n, I do hope you on your way to meet Father paul you're the only one who hasn't and I've been informed he's eager to meet everyone and get to know them" she said all in a rush.

"yeah yeah I'm doing it now Bev so you can stop pestering me about it okay" you snapped, then tried to give her a smile but it looked more like a grimice.

"yes well" she said in an exasperated way, "you'd best hurry over he's in the vicarige I believe so you may be able to catch him"

"Right then, see you around Bev" you said starting to walk away.

"No funny business y/n, I mean it this is important to me!"

She yelled after you, who just gave a backward wave as you walked away.

After walking for around about ten minutes and the church was in view you got that strange, bubbly uneasy feeling everytime you went near the church. You don't know exactly why it happens but you haven't seen the inside of it for about ten years when you started drifting away from the church much to Beverlys dismay.

Making your way over to the vicarage you started knocking just as the door swing open.

"Oh hello, you must be y/n please please come in I was just making some..coffee of tea if you'd prefer?" a voice said before you even got a chance to look at the speaker they had already whisked back into the house.

"Oh, okay sure tea thanks" you said as you walked in and shut the door behind you.

"do you take sugar" the man asked

"just two-" you said as your eyes made contact with man who was talking.

He looked to be around 30-40 with dark black hair, kind eyes and a sweet smile. He wore his (priest shirt thingy with the white collar thing), dark blue jeans and a grey cardigan. Strangely attractive you thought.

'Hang on stop that you can't think of him like that he's a priest! Off limits!' you thought to yourself.

"-hello y/n are you okay" father paul said, "you kinda zoned out there for a sec" he laughed.
