Promise Me - A Michael Afton x Fem Reader story

Chapter 3 - The Bear

The rest of the week continued on like this. You both ran to school, played together at play time, ran to your dads truck, played even more at your house, Michael would bring his book every day to show you his drawings ( like he promised :) ) then Michael gets dropped at his house at 7 pm. Every time you guys went to Michaels house to drop him off, you always tried to take as much of it in as you could. It was a big mysterious house, it intrigued your curious mind.

"I wonder what the inside looks like, what does his room look like? Why is it so dark? How many rooms are in there? Is his room really big? How come he never talks about it? If it were me I would. I would be proud to have such a big house-"

"N/n?"

"Huh?"

You snapped out of your thoughts to Michael waving a hand in front of your face. You guys were in your dads truck, on your way to Michaels house to drop him off.

"You alright? What are you thinkin' about?"

"What does your house look like on the inside?" You blurted out.

Michael looked at you for a second

"Well... uh .. it's big I guess... and dark...?"

"We should have a play date at your house one day! I wanna see it so bad, it looks so nice-"

"I don't believe my fatha will allow that" he said, attempting to shut down your idea.

Michael having a friend over? The idea seemed absolutely impossible to him.

"Me having a friend over? There's no way fatha will allow that, I'll get punished for even asking and I don't want her to see how fatha really is, what if he does the bad things he does to me, to her..."

"Awwww comonnn I'll ask with you so he'll say yes! That plan always works on parents. Trust me."

As you said that, you guys pulled up to Michaels house.

"Alright, see ya tomorrow mike!"

"Dad wait here we're gonna ask Michaels dad somethin real quick okay?"

"Gotcha."

You hopped out of the truck before Michael could even attempt to stop you. Having no choice but to get out, Michael hopped out of the truck as well.

You two started walking towards the door, you looking up, mesmerized by the house.

Michael knocked on the door, extremely anxious as to how his father will react.

Suddenly you heard a click and the door opened revealing William who was quite surprised to see you standing next to Michael.

"Oh! Hello y/n! And what brings you here?"

You became very shy all of a sudden, not because you were talking to an adult you barley knew, but because of the dark aura William gives off. Once again, your body telling you to run.

"Uh- hello..."

"Um.. Fatha,"

William turned to Michael with an eyebrow raised.

",We were wondering if we could have a play date here at our house one day... maybe tomorrow? Since tomorrow is Friday..?"

William relaxed his face and thought for a moment.
