What are the Chances? (Wilbur Soot x Female Reader)

Chapter 6

(3rd Person POV)
Sweat dripped down her forehead as she jerked awake again. The night sky twinkled down, calming her slightly. Memories melted into nightmares kept her from getting any rest the past hour.

"(Y/n)?" She jumped and saw Wilbur at the door. Seeing her state, he ran and engulfed her in a hug. She clutched his shirt as he rubbed circled on her back. "It's alright. I'm here."

"Oh, Will." A sob escaped her. "I don't want to go back." A tingle went up his back. Of course the pain was acting up now.

"I know. But we can't help it." He felt his own eyes tear up. He had become very attached to this amazing girl in the past few weeks.

"We-we never even figured out wha-what I am." Guilt turmoiled inside him. The two sat there silently for a bit, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Would you like it if I went with you?" Her breath caught as he said this.

"You'd do that?" His soft eyes met hers.

"I'd do anything for you." Her eyes widened as the moon peered through the balcony.

He focused on her. Her sparkling hair. Her beautiful, but sad, (e/c) eyes. Her simple dress. Everything about her.

She saw his hope in his chocolate eyes. The signs of nightmares in his scruffy hair. His loose shirt. Everything about him.

The two, almost unconsciously, leaned in. The world seemed to slow as his hand cupped her cheek and her fingers combed his curls. Their lips touched. Eyes closed, each soaking in the love of each other.

Coming up for air, she sighed with happiness. Their foreheads met as their unspoken thoughts released themselves silently. That kiss had spoken more than words could say.

He held her close to him again. He felt her breathing even out as she slipped into dreamland peacefully. He carefully laid down, with her head on his chest. He sighed in contentment. If only it could last forever.

((Y/n) POV)
Her eyes fluttered open as sunlight hit them, making her squint. She tried to sit up, in hopes of seeing better, but was stopped. Something was holding her down around her back. Then she heard the quiet beat below her. She lifted her head.

His face, calm in his sleep, was mere centimeters from hers. Her breath caught as she realized that. His arm was firmly around her, keeping the two from separating.

After her face had recovered its usual paleness, she began to play with his curls. No one would be here for awhile. A smile appeared on his gentle features as she messed with his hair. His arm became less stiff as she stroked his cheek a little.

There we go. She tried to ease out of his arm, but it woke him up.

"Don't leave." He mumbled in his morning voice. Her stomach exploded with butterflies as he pulled her closer. "We only get so much time with each other today." He mumbled into her hair as she gave in to the cuddling.

"Don't remind me." She groaned. He rubbed her back as she sighed into his shirt. "He's going to make me go back to how I was." She felt him shiver below her. Her mind briefly flashed back to how they met. "I won't let it get to me though."

"Good." She could hear the smile in his voice. "I'll visit as often as I can." Her smile widened at the thought.

"Thank you." She whispered. He chuckled slightly as she lightly began kissing his neck. "I love you more than anyone could know." She murmured, settling more into his chest.

"I love you more." He said as he inhaled her addicting scent.

They both froze as a tapping was heard on the door.

"Miss? The king requests your presence at breakfast before you leave." It was a servant. Wilbur silently released the pent up breath.

"I'll be there in a few minutes." She answered. They quietly listened as they herd him recede. "Looks like we have to go." He nodded slowly.

He got up and slipped out the door before she could say anymore. She sighed as she changed into her day dress. She slipped on her jacket and turned to the mirror. The ocean blue hair flowed effortlessly around her face. He'd make her hide it again. But that was a fight for another time.

A few minutes later, her bag in hand, she appeared at the dining room. Wilbur had somehow changed and eaten half his food already. She smiled secretly, remembering the morning. Phil was smiling sadly at her.

"Hey, (Y/n). The carriage is almost ready. Eat up so you can head home." She nods in response.

She glances over at Tommy and Tubbo across the table. They both look rather downtrodden. Techno looked about the same. She never realized how much she had affected this family. The silence was overbearing as she finished her small serving. Everyone got up silently as they finished. Wilbur grabbed her hand as all of them walked to the entrance of the castle.

The sun and sky seemed too cheerful to the people there. A servant took her bag to the waiting coach. She turned to her silent followers.

"I'll be back soon enough." She made her smile as real as possible. "And I'll see if you all can come visit me." The two youngest smiled and hugged her.

"Don't forget about us, (Y/n)!" Tubbo said, as she scruffed his hair.

"Yeah!" Tommy shouted, making the others laugh. They ran off at the insistence of Phil, who was next hugging her.

"Be good." He winked. She nodded into him. He gave a short wave before disappearing. Techno stood kind of awkwardly to the side. She pulled him into a short hug as a smile broke out onto his face.

"I'll see you soon." The pinkette murmured. He knew his brother wanted the last words, so he walked off, leaving the two.

Wilbur squeezed her in a tight embrace. Tears slipped unbidden from his eyes. It would only be for a bit, but it felt like a long time.

"I'll see you again." She nodded, as they pulled away slightly. His hand inched up her neck. She leaned in. His breath caught. Their lips touched once more.

And for a moment everything was perfect.

But it ended as they pulled away. He could only wave as she walked away, a sad look in her eyes. He sighed as she got in the coach. She looked back, making his breath catch.

But then it left, taking her beautiful face with it, and his heart.

A/n: I meant to work on this yesterday, but I was too wrapped up in my other story. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'll try and have the next one out on Monday. Have a lovely day/night!
