I Got You (A Garroth Ro'Meave X Reader)

Chapter 15: Burnin' Up

The room around you was deathly silent. Almost like the calm before the storm. It's like the world had frozen for a moment before you and had seemed to sense what was about to occur.

Of course, the peace lasted only for a moment before he came in. Before he came storming in.

"(Y/N)!"

"Oh! I'm almost finished ____ I swear!"

His hand went to your face, holding it in those rough, calloused hands of his. He looked you straight in the eyes, a look that bore into your very soul.

"(Y/N)."

".....yes?" You couldn't even bring yourself to swallow as your boyfriend gripped your face harshly.

"Do I look like a joke to you?"

"N-no, never! You could never be! I would never even-"

You were on the floor before you even registered what had happened, all the contents you had been mixing spilling everywhere.

The man before you towered over you and his blue eyes gazed at you in such a way that made your heart nearly stop.

"Then do what I ask! How hard is it to make a few potions!?"

You visibly flinched at his voice, knowing how he got when he was angry. This wasn't even half of it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't have enough time! You asked me to make 100 potions ___! It takes hours to just craft a batch accurately, and-"

"Try harder then!" The words came through gritted teeth.

"You are a witch for crying out loud! Aren't you supposed to be good at Magicks? That's why I chose you!"

You felt your fingers digging into your knees and it was then you realized you'd been squeezing the hem of your skirt the entire time.

It was a coping mechanism, really, because you knew you couldn't break down, not now.

It was unfortunate of you to think you could keep it in though.

A hand flew to your cheek as soon as the first tear slid and you quickly dried it before he could notice.

His eyes softened as he saw your expression and that's when you saw him. The man you fell in love with. The real him.

He kneeled down close to you, wiping your tears as they slipped from your eyes.

"Hey...All I want is for us to have a good life, you know that. These potions you make sell for a good amount of money and I want us to have the life we always dreamed of, remember?"

You remembered. You remembered laying against his chest as you gazed up at the stars. You remembered sharing your dreams and your hopes under the glowing lights of the night sky.

You remembered him holding your hand and promising you the world and more.

You remembered.

And you thought of it even now as those piercing eyes looked into your own.

"Don't be mad. I'm trying to do what's best for us." He said.

With that, he pulled you closer until you were flush against his chest and placed his hands back on your cheeks.

His lips met yours in a kiss that made yours quiver.
