the light within my lantern~ airy x reader (hfjone)

It's been about a week sense you got to this place. Airy has said not many words to you and made you a small bed next to his. He was in the forest collecting the last of the reeds for your bed as you sat on a tree stump watching him collect reeds. You had to admit you were enjoying the time you had together even though he ignored you most of the day, but even with that in mind you tried to start a conversation.

"Soo...what are you gonna do after your done collecting things for my bed?" you ask while looking at his back which was turned to you. He hesitated for a bit while still turned "um...I will probably go to sleep.....it's been a long uh day"

He wasn't wrong. It has been a pretty long day of watching airy put together your bed. It was kind of cute watching him put so much effort into you. Even if he didn't show it."hm...so what do you like to do for fun?" You asked while smiling. Airy slowly put the last reeds In his basket and walked past you trying not to make eye contact as he started to walk back home. At this point you had enough and stepped in front of Airy and looked at him in the eyes

"Airy why don't you ever talk to me? You say a maximum of 4 sentences to me every day. Do you not like me?" You asked. Airy stood there and slowly looked up at you. It was the first time he had looked at you sense you first arrived. "N-no it's not that I just-" he softly spoke "you just what? Airy it's starting to feel like you don't want me here...like you just want me to go home" you cut him off and looked down

Airy got closer to you and held your hand hesitantly. This is the closest he's ever gotten. "N-no please don't leave I'm sorry...I really l-id really like you to stay... please" he looked at you and you both made eye contact. "I just didn't think you'd want me here...I just don't know what to do to get you to talk to me..." Tears formed In your eyes as you looked at the tall man. Airy looked at you nervous before he pulled you in close and hugged you. This was new to airy so it was quite awkward...but somehow comforting.

You hugged him tightly and cried into his shoulder. His cold hands pulled your face to look at his and wiped your tears slowly "p-please don't cry..." He spoke softly before continuing "I'm sorry I've been so nervous..I just really l-like you and I don't want you to l-leave... please don't leave me y/n..." Tears started forming In his eyes before you wiped them and kissed his fragile hand. "I won't..I promise..., now come...let's go set up my bed" you led him as you took his hand and you walked back to the shed.
