Newsies - Racexreader

You?! and you?! - 5

Y/n POV:
~~~

All the newsies had reached the lodging house to get ready to go tell the other newsies about the strike  when I was pulled out of the doorway by my arm, I looked at Race smiling down at me mischievously. He took my hand and led me to the roof away from the others.

"What are you doing?" I asked giggling.

"Just come up here." he answered as we climbed up the metal ladder and onto the roof.

I stood up and walked to the metal bar that overlooked most of Manhattan, "'hattan looks amazing." I smiled looking at it.

My arm resting on the bar was slowly covered by Race's as he took my  hand and held it in front of me. He watched every move I made from my eyes flickering as I watched him or my chest raising a falling with my breath.

"y/n... I wanted to ask you if you maybe wanted to be... my girlfriend?" he asked with a slow calm tone, his cigar in his pocket as he spoke.

I felt my heart jump and I my eyes widened at the question. His hand squeezed mine slightly while he watched me, "Yes..." my lips opened a little.

A huge smile appeared on his face and his hands slowly held my red cheeks. I jumped onto my tip toes, his left hand on my cheek and right on my waist, our faces brought inches apart. Our lips touching. It started slowly, with a close gently kiss then went to a faster passionate one. Our lips gliding over each other in a perfect dance that last a few seconds.

We separated and our foreheads lent onto each others, and we smiled at each other. Race pulled hug and he wrapped his arms around my torso as I did him. We stayed in a comfortable hug for a few minuets when we heard squeaking from the ladder and we jumped apart.

We laughed at each other before looking at the metal ladder and seeing Jack's head pop out from the bottom. "What are you two doin' up here?" he asked as he climbed up the last rung.

"Gettin' away from the guys. There being loud." I sighed, looking out over Manhattan's dark buildings.

"Yeah." Race agreed.

"Well you'd better get ready to go. Y/n? Comin' to Brooklyn? we could use the help." Jack asked.

"Your lettin' me?" I looked from Race to Jack then back over Manhattan.

"Yeah. You'll be with me." Jack shrugged and I smiled.

"Let's get ready." I spoke to Race, and he smiled. We walked to the ladder and I saluted to Jack before jumping down to the ground from the high fall. Race following shortly after. he grabbed my hand and we walked into the lodging house when immediately Elmer, Albert and Specs shot their head at our hands.

I walked over to them, "What?" I shook my free hand.

"You?! and you?!" Specs pointed to each of us and we started laughing. 

"I'm going to get ready to head to Brooklynn." all their head snapped to my calm face, "What?" I asked confused.

"You now the last time you saw him he attacked you right?" Romeo said, joining the conversation.

"And? I can protect myself." I pointed at myself when talking as Race wrapped his arms round my torso.

"You could get hurt." he grumbled.

"I'll be fine Racey." I turned in his arms and kissed his cheek.

"Eww!" All the boys in the room erupted in disgust.

I laughed when a thought reached my head and my eyes widened, "Don't tell Jack! He'll kill me!" race had the same reaction as me once I said it that was until the man himself walked in.

"N/n! Let's go!" I quickly left and shushed anyone who talked before going with Jack and Davey to Brooklynn.

~~~

We reached the Brooklyn lodging house, it was loud and busy inside. I took a deep breath and Jack knocked, after a moment, Spot opened the door and his eyes fell on me.

"hey beautiful." he winked at me but Jack quickly stepped in and explained everything that was happening with the strike as about 20 of his gang came out with him.

Once he was done, Spot looked to me again, "We will if she stays here." he nodded at me and my eyes widened.

"Not happening." Jack placed his hands on my shoulders.

"Or I get a little kiss from her." he winked at me again and my mind fluttered to Race.

I looked at Jack scared as he nodded at me, my mouth dropped open, "W-what?" I stuttered.

"She's mot kissing anyone." Jack stated before turning to Spot again, "This is about the strike, not Y/n. So will you help?" he asked, redirecting Spot's attention.

"I'm very impressed... I'll think about it." and with that Spot closed the door and went inside.

I turned to Jack and Davey, "I-I'm sorry I-" jack hugged me loosely.

"Don't be sorry. You don't have to do any of that."

I nodded sadly and we went back to Manhattan. I walked into the lodging house and Race, Albert and Specs were the first to come up to me. Race scanned my shaking body, looking for any wounds or bruises, "Are you ok?" he brought me into a hug.

"Y-yeah. Just Spot asking for things in return." I brought my hands around his torso and hugged him. "I think I'm going to go sleep. Ready for tomorrow." everyone nodded and I moved to my bunk, jumping up and placing my news cap on the end of it then falling asleep quickly.
