Broken Heart (Geralt of Rivia x Reader)

Chapter 7

Geralt got Nenneke to open a portal to Oxenfurt and the two of you quickly realised that Jaskier had gotten himself locked up.

You had specifically told Jaskier to stay out of trouble and he got himself thrown in jail.

Why did you expect anything less?

You and Geralt made your way across town to the local jail. Geralt made quick work of the guard by the front door, knocking him unconscious before you walked into the building.

The second the two of you stepped inside, Jaskiers voice rang out through the building as he sung.

"And lock me up and sock me up
Throw away the key!
Go fuck yourself, you whoreson
'Cause you're through fuckin' with me!"

"Sing another word, and I'll cut your tongue out!" Another guard shouted from further into the building.

You couldn't help but smile. Even while locked up, Jaskier still found ways to irritate people.

"Let's go again. Three, four... And lock me up-"

"That's it! I'm taking a shit." The guard announced while Jaskier continued to sing, ignoring the guard completely.

Geralt quickly glanced over at you as the sound of the guards footsteps got closer and you nodded, knowing what Geralt was silently asking. Without saying anything, you took a step forward just as the guard walked around the corner, nearly walking straight into.

His eyes widened when he saw you, but before he could do anything, you kicked him in the stomach, sending him stumbling backwards into a desk with a loud crash.

"Fucking hell! You know what? We're trying to rehearse in here!" Jaskiers voice shouted from the cell.

You rolled your eyes, but didn't have a chance to say anything sarcastic back because the guard quickly pulled out a sword from out under his desk and swung it at you.

You ducked out the way with ease before grabbing the guard around the neck, holding him in a choke hold while Geralt stood back and watched in clear amusement before the guard finally past out in your arms.

Quietly, you lowered his body to the ground, fishing out the keys to the cell and tossing them to Geralt.

He caught the keys, giving you a small nod before he walked around the corner and started to unlock Jaskiers cell.

"Good sir, you would not know talent if I shoved it up your- Geralt." Jaskier said, his voice nearly breaking when he said his name. "Fuck it."

You heard the two of them embrace in a hug while you patted down the guards body, making sure he didn't have any other weapons that he could use if he woke up while you were still in the building.

"What are you doing here?" You heard Jaskier ask Geralt.

"No time. We need to go."

You stood up, satisfied that he didn't have any hidden weapons and was still out cold before you walked across the room towards the cell.

"Are you sure?" Jaskier asked sceptically.

"Yes." Geralt answered, a little confused with the question.

You reached the cell and leant against the door frame, Jaskier unable to see you behind Geralt as he continued to talk.

"Last time we saw each other, you basically told me to fuck off. Remember? And you left me on a mountain. Have you seen these boots? I mean, I pretty much just slid all the way down that hill back to Caingorn."
