What Is Love? Wanderer X Reader

Getting to Know Chap.9

Two days later as promised you met the Wanderer back in the Grand Bazaar, you went wondering what he'd needed help with but it was actually small tasks, you did small tasks like helping him to gather books, make meals, deliver papers and or speak to Scholars who needed audience with Lesser Lord Kusanali, In which you were surprised to find out that he was her right hand man, you even asked him if you could meet her and he declined saying she was too busy to meet just anybody, you didn't press the issue much after that as It wasn't your place to question what she was busy with, but besides that you actually enjoyed being of help and you got to know the strange man who'd saved your life weeks ago in which you were still Indebted to

he Insisted you didn't need to keep thanking him for things, but you still did it anyway. As you spend the next few days in his company you found he was a straight talker who didn't mind what other people had to say, but when It came to Lesser Lord Kusanali he showed much respect and shut down those who sounded doubtful of her Benevolence.

You were currently In the Library with Wanderer, it was supposed to be a one day thing in his eyes but somehow you were helping him out every other day, slowly but surely Integrating into his life but he didn't find you a nuisance as he thought he would, 

Wanderer was browsing through the shelf, he was looking for a specific book within the Akademiya though so far there wasn't any luck, which was why you were helping him today 

"Is this it?"

he looked to the book in your hands, "No,"

you gave a nod and put it back, "Um...what exactly is this book about?"

he blinked his Indigo eyes, "The Concepts of Creation, that's all"

you were surprised, "Oh? that sounds like a difficult book...what kinds of creation"

"Mostly those in terms of mankinds history, It just piqued my interest"

you looked back to the shelf and skimmed until a smile came "I think this is it!"

he turned to face you and you brought the book to him, and a pleased look came to his face

"Yeah, it's this one"

he cleared his throat, "Thank you"

taking the book as he went to go sit down, and you joined him as you looked at the book too but he didn't remember asking if you wanted to share, but even so he started to let it be

"now that I think about it, you're not from Sumeru are you?" you said

he sighed, "I'm not, but for now this is where I'll stay"

you leaned closer as you crossed your arms, "So....where are you from?"

he looked up from the book, "I was...born In Inazuma"

you smiled, "That's nice, I've never been there before but I've heard It was troubling for a while because of the Vision Hunt Decree"

Wanderer gave a "Tch, that whole thing was idiotic...She still doesn't understand what other people want or need"

you heard anger in his voice, "Are you talking about the Raiden Shogun?"

he clenched his hand, "Yes...she was hiding away In another dimension and left everything In the hands of a puppet"

"huh...that's surprising, you sound like you hate her"

he closed his eyes and took in a breath, "Hate....doesn't even begin to cover It"

you furrowed your brows, "Why?"

he realized he was getting too angry and he really didn't want to talk about her, so he brushed off your question as he went back to reading through the book

"well...I won't push you for an answer, but It can help share with others especially If it causes emotional distress...at least that's what my master says"

he looked at you In the eyes as if he didn't believe you, but then his lips curved a little

"hm...thanks for that, your master sounds levelheaded"

you smiled, "Oh he is! and he's really kind too"

seeing the smile on your face made him raise a brow, and for some reason your smile seemed to catch him off guard not because I was awful but because It was so pure and bright, 

his cheeks became a little pink, "you...you're weird"

"how? I don't think I am"

Wanderer lips curved some more than before, "No you are...but I guess that's not a problem"

you gave him a little shove In which he returned, before you started giggling and the sound filled his ears with a sense of something unknown to him but...It wasn't bad.
