Eyes Off Me | Chamber x Reader

{6} France

You got up early, packing a bunch of clothes into a suitcase. Even your plush axolotl, helped to keep you calm. The French man had instructed you to hurry up because he was already to leave and wished to go soon so it would still be at least afternoon by the time you arrived. Finally finishing packing you smiled down at the suitcase and dragged it out of the room. Chamber smiled upon seeing you and offered a hand to you, you glanced down at it and then to his face.
His smile didn't falter so you took it and he led you to one of the jets.
"We'll be going to my workshop first, then later we shall head to my penthouse. I have a spare room that you can stay in so don't worry."
"Thank you, Chamber. You didn't have to do this. I even heard you tell Phoenix you were too expensive for him." You chuckled.
"Well, that is true. But, mon amour, you are a bit different." You raised an eyebrow at him. "Don't worry about it, c'mon." He helped you up onto the jet along with your luggage before the two of you were off to France. The ride would be quite a bit. At least 2 hours or so of just you two, and then more of just being alone together. What an experience this would be, you did hope to explore instead of solely staying in though.
"You can sit by me, mon cher" He laughed lightly, you were sitting a bit aways. You didn't wish to intrude on his personal space again.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course," You got up and walked over before plopping down next to him. 
"Do you mind? -"
"No at all." He reassured; you leaned your head on his shoulder.
"Why are you so nice to me?"
"No one else gives me a chance, but you, mon cheri. You have." He chuckled lightly; it wasn't a complete lie. Though he did need to get you close to him, enough to trust him. Enough that you'd listen and not triple check his words.
"I'm sorry you go through that." You muttered, sighing before closing your eyes. "Would you show me around France?"
"Why yes, it's quite a beautiful place. I would love to show you around" His smooth voice calmed you of the bubbling anxieties of going to a place you had never been to and staying a few days. "First we'll drop off your luggage at my penthouse then we shall head to my workshop." He glanced at your head on his shoulder, your gentle breathing and soft smile. You were so easy to get to... it couldn't be that simple though. No, he wasn't an idiot to think that. He would continue to keep up this image until you truly did trust him whole heartedly. 

Chamber had fallen asleep, the pilot of the jet stating that you two had almost arrived. You looked up at his peaceful face and smiled. Guess he didn't sleep enough last night... you had to admit he was handsome, and his sleeping face was absolutely adorable to look at. His chest rising and falling in a gentle rhythm. Afraid that if you moved, you'd wake him, so you got comfortable. Listening to his calm breathing and closing your eyes gently, you were being lulled to sleep.

"We've arrived." You woke up to the pilot's announcement and glanced at the groggy French man who lifted his head.
"Oh, apologies I seem to have fallen asleep." He chuckled awkwardly, you stood up and smiled at him.
"It's alright! It was a long ride. I'm excited to stay for a couple of days! Soprattutto con un buon amico come te!" The last bit was in Italian, Chamber didn't understand what was said but he assumed it was something nice.
"Let's get your luggage and go" He ruffled your hair gently with a hand and helped you off the jet, he grabbed your luggage and tugged it around like the gentleman he was. Chuckling at him you walked next to him and stared at the sights in awe, you really wished to be able to travel the world... maybe after the protocol or on a long vacation! Chamber smiled at you, it was so pure and genuine. So out of character for him, but seeing your awe really made him smile.
"We're almost there" his voice broke you out of your little trance, quickly jogging to catch up.

You had never been in a penthouse, you heard it was luxurious and expensive. The nervous fidgeting didn't help either as the two of you were being brought closer to it. With a ding of the elevator, you both got out and you were struck by what you saw. It was wonderfully modern and fancy, quite delicate and darker in style compared to something pure white or marble. "Your room is right upstairs, near mine. Come" He gestured towards the stairs. You two walked in a comfortable silence before he opened a door to a nicely decorated room with blues. He set down your luggage by the bed before speaking up again. "Come downstairs when you're ready to go, at least get settled first. I do wish for you to be comfortable, mon amour" He stepped close to you, kissing your forehead before leaving. 
You stood there in shock for a moment, mouth agape and face flushed red. You weren't used to the kisses still- you doubted you ever would be! Trying to regain composure you had walked over to the suitcase and started unpacking, there were moments where you would just stare at the room for a bit because of how wonderfully decorated it was. You still couldn't imagine someone could afford a place like this, knowing Chamber though... this was probably very affordable, and he seemed to want to live both comfortably but also luxuriously. Once you had put everything away neatly you stood up proudly and exited the room. You glanced at each door, one being open. His bedroom, you didn't wish to intrude though as that would be quite rude. You just peeked while walking by and admired the decor of his room, it felt so him. Little fine details but nothing too overbearing.
"I'm done!" You called, quickly bouncing down the stairs to see Chamber standing up from his couch with a smile. 
"Shall we?" He held out his hand for you to take.
"We shall!" You giggled, grabbing hold of his hand as he led you back to the elevator and down out of the building. You were all stares and smiles, looking at everything the place had to offer as he led you down the streets of France. He could've called a cab, but you were so entranced by the sights he might as well walk with you to his workshop. "Can we head to a cafe?"
"Of course, we can later. We do have work to attend to." He chuckled at your expression, eyes twinkling like little stars. 
"What's your workshop like?"
"I keep it neat, but there's a little range there too for testing out the guns to make sure they don't backfire. They never do, but it's never bad to check." He hummed, squeezing your hand slightly as you walked up to a large building. "Ah, we're here."
"Woah-" He pulled you inside and as invested in the outside you were just as invested in the interior designs. "This is so nice!"
"This isn't even the beginning. We do have to sketch out a design for your gun though. Follow me, mon amour~" He led you to a cozy room that had a few bulletin boards with different gun designs pinned up on them, some had actual pictures of the gun proving them to be done. There was a drawing tablet on a desk where there were a few sketchbooks nearby. Chamber took a seat and gestured to a chair nearby to which you sat on.
"This is where you sketch all the designs?"
"Mhm, now. What would you like for yours?" He turned to you, smiling. He was in his environment; he was confident but also quite comfortable. He was a prideful man and this place itself, was his pride. So much work that he had done and could flaunt to the world.
"Something water themed, though I think that's a given" You chuckled, "Something that doesn't spray too much when moving since I move a lot! But I also really like my vandal since it's comfortable for me to use." He nodded along to your words, already sketching it out on the drawing pad as you continued to ramble about the design. 
"Alright, done." You blinked at his words and glanced at the design; it was... beautiful! Perfect. He really was good at this.
"I love it! It's so pretty"
"It'll look better in person, and the person using it will make it show it's true colors" He chuckled as he watched your face grow red in embarrassment. "It will take some time, but I'm going to need you to test it out each time to make sure it's to your taste fighting wise." You nodded.

You were watching his skilled hands crafting the gun out of different pieces, each piece being cut and designed to a perfect shape even being redesigned multiple times to make sure it was perfect. He had put some music on that you didn't expect of the man. It was some synth or dubstep of sorts. He seemed to be enjoying it and even got lost in his work while it was playing. You can't say you hated it though, it was quite the jam that you would get up and dance to.

"Pick your colors, exactly, S'il vous plaît" You nodded, pointing to specific blues you thought looked gorgeous together. "I'll start working on the painting, I have materials you can use to make your own gun. I would love to see how you go about trying to make one." He chuckled. "It won't be near as good as mine though" He was prideful of his work, smiling at you before getting to work.
"Alright!" You got up; you knew how to build things... Though a gun was totally different. You were sure you could figure it out though. Without destroying something... hopefully. The sound of the music as you two worked was nice to cover up the silence between you two as you both worked on your own separate projects.

"I'm done, mon amour~" He smiled at you.
"Mine is.." you picked up the messy thing that was suppose to be a gun but it instantly fell apart. He chuckled and then you began laughing too. "Guns are not my thing" 
"We all have our own specialties. Tell me how you like this" He showed you the gun on the table, all the specific details he had painted onto the gun and each little carving was... beautiful! He was such an artist and the gun was so well designed to your taste! It was like he knew you very well.
"I love it!"
"I'll have you test it out tomorrow, as of right now.. It's getting late. Let's head back to my place and I'll make us some dinner." He offered, standing up from his spot. You smiled at him and nodded.
"I'd love to taste your cooking."
"I bet you would, I can make you some signature French dishes, mon amour"
"Sounds good" You guys walked and talked, heading towards the building that was the location of his penthouse.
"Are there any specific places you'd like to see while you're here?" 
"Perhaps the Eiffel tower, I want to see if it's really what everyone says it's like. Also, some of the cafes, I heard some are very comfy."
"I know the best places; I will show you them tomorrow" You smiled at him as you walked into the elevator. A hand grabbing your waist as he leaned over to press the bottom to the floor of his penthouse. Being stuck in close proximity and in such a small space with him touching you caused you to blush profusely. He smiled at you, whispering in your ear. "What's wrong, mon amour? ~" His tone was low, sultry even. You squeaked, almost jumping as goosebumps formed on your skin.
"N-nothing!" He chuckled at your reaction before moving away.
"If you say so~"

This would be a long trip and you couldn't tell if you were going to enjoy it or suffer.

_______________________________

This got a little wonky at the end.. but I promise the next one will make up for it. I needed to get them to France and working on the main objective!
I love you all and hope you enjoy! Big plans up ahead :)
