~His Doll~ Enoch O'Connor x Reader {MPHFPC}

Chapter 4.

After a little while, the two of you walked back upstairs. You had eventually calmed down and turned back to normal. "Try and get some sleep." He said. "Yeah I will, thanks for staying up with me." You gave him a smile and you thought that you saw him return it before walking down the hallway.

*******

You woke up pretty early the next morning. You usually tended to wake up early even though you weren't much of a morning person, and you slowly got dressed and slinked out of your room. Making your way downstairs, you hear plates clinking, and you went to the kitchen to see Miss Peregrine getting out place settings for breakfast.

"Ah, good morning dear. How did you sleep?" She moved away from the counter to grab the utensils as she talked. "Good morning Miss Peregrine. I slept okay, I did have a nightmare though, so I came down and made a cup of tea last night." She looked over at you. "I was wondering who used the kettle. Might I ask who else was down here with you?"

You were a little surprised that she knew, but you looked in the sink and saw the two cups leftover from both you and Enoch. "Oh, Enoch came down before me, and he stayed up with me for a bit. The dream I had really shook me up." Her eyes slightly widened at his name, but that quickly changed into a big smile. "I'm quite surprised! I imagine you've noticed that Enoch can be quite standoffish. I'm glad that he seems to like you." You smiled and felt yourself blush a bit.

You helped Miss Peregrine set the table and while she started breakfast she asked you to wake everyone and tell them that breakfast was on. You went room to room and since Emma was already awake by the time you knocked on her door, she went to wake the rest of the children while you walked to Enoch's room.

You knocked lightly in case he was still sleeping, and you heard an exaggerated groan followed by footsteps. He pulled the door open and stared at you. He had definitely just woken up, since his eyes were clouded over and his hair was a mess. "Miss Peregrine said that breakfast is almost ready. "Thanks." He said, and shut the door again. You turned, and saw Olive standing in her doorway, and when you saw her, she quickly walked to the stairs. "Huh, a little odd." You shrugged it off and made your way downstairs.

Just as everyone was sitting down for breakfast, Enoch came downstairs and took his usual seat at the end of the table. You decided to take the seat to his left, and he glanced over at you. You gave him a small smile and rolled his eyes jokingly, but smirked before Emma and Miss Peregrine brought in the trays of food.

You ate quickly, and after everyone was finished, you helped Miss Peregrine clear the table and do the dishes. You found an empty notebook in the living room, and decided to take it outside and draw. As you walked into the yard, you saw Enoch sitting under a tree reading and decided to join him. You walked over and sat down next to him. "Hey Enoch." You said as you opened the notebook "How'd you sleep?" He asked, not looking up from the book he was reading. "I slept good after the tea. Thanks for that, again.." He gave a short mhm and you looked back down at the empty page. You decided to draw the yard and got to work.

Out of the corner of your eye, you could see him looking at the drawing periodically. You drew the tree that the two of you were currently sitting under and decided to draw the two of you under it. When you were done, you held it up and looked for anything you wanted to fix, before tapping Enoch on the shoulder. This time, he looked up from the book. "Do you like it?" He took it and looked it over. "Yeah, it's pretty good." He went to hand it back to you, but you shook your head. "You can keep it." he smiled lightly and folded it up, putting it into the pocket of his sweater.

You sketched a few more things, a rabbit you saw, a few birds, a flower that was growing from the base of the tree. Eventually, you put the notebook down and scooted away from the tree, lying in the grass and staring up at the clouds. "What're you doing?" he asked, putting the book down. "I'm cloud watching. I used to do it a lot when I was little." You smiled as you watched them drift by. "Come on, try it." You tilted your head back to look at him, and he scooted out and laid down next to you.

For a while, the two of you pointed out clouds that looked like dogs or flowers, one looked like an electric guitar, and you had to explain what it was to Enoch. Miss Peregrine came outside, calling everyone inside for dinner, so the two of you walked inside together and sat at the table.

*******

When it was movie time, you sat in the same spot as last time, in between Claire and Enoch. Claire was holding her little doll, which was still alive and moving around. Horace started to project his dream, and it started out, again, as him getting fitted for suits. But, the scene quickly shifted to the yard, more specifically, you and Enoch laying in the grass, watching the clouds. It switched again, to your room, and you and Enoch sitting on your bed, slowly moving closer, growing just inches apart, your lips almost touching..."Well I think that's enough of that." Miss Peregrine flicked on the lights. Everyone made disappointed groans, but everyone was staring at you and Enoch.

Olive suddenly stood up and stormed out of the room. Enoch sat in silence, his face as pink as the dress that Clair was wearing, and you were so flustered that your peculiarity was triggered and you covered your face with your hands. "Oooo, Enoch's in love.~" Fiona taunted him and Hugh laughed. Enoch stood and moved towards the stairs, and you followed shortly after.

You went to your room and shut the door, jumping into your bed, trying to process what you'd just seen. You took some deep breaths and you turned back to normal just as there was a knock on your door.
