Bede Reverse Comfort w/ GN! Reader

ASK: Also, I saw you write for Bede (my best boy), so could I get a GN!Reader comforting him and telling him he's good enough after the whole Rose scenario? Thanks again pal

Bede Reverse Comfort w/ GN! Reader

"Bede?"

"GO AWAY."

"Come on, please let me in...."

"No, just leave me alone already!"

After Rose disqualified Bede, he took refuge in the Due Drop Inn. You had went to check up on him after letting him have a few days to himself, he was your friend after all. You had the suspicion that he was on the floor with his back against the door due to the shadow you could see.

"I know you're just going to make fun of me..."

"Why would you think that?"

You slipped to the floor to mirror him. You hear him let out a shaky breath before finally answering you.

"You beat me at every turn, I'm sure you're happy knowing I'm out of the game altogether right?"

"Bede, I don't know who's been telling you all of these things, but I'm just as upset as you are. Knowing that you aren't going to be a step ahead of me to catch me when I least expect it is so.... disheartening."

"What are you going on about now?"

"Well you do know that you're a big part of my success right? I wouldn't have even got to this point without a good rival."

You almost fall to the floor when he opened the door to face you, and you quickly stand to meet his eyes. Those violet hues of his had a tint of red, and when he moves to wipe his eyes with his sleeve, it solidifies your suspicion that he'd been crying prior to your intrusion.

"Bede?"

"You don't have to try to make me feel better about being disowned by Rose, and being kicked from the-"

"Yes, I do. You're my friend, I'm going to be here for you when you need it most whether or not you want it."

"God, you're so annoying you know that?"

"I just want to help."

"Yeah, I know, but saying these things won't help me feel any better about myself."

"Well, maybe I could do something about it."

"Hm? Y/N-"

Before he could protest, you had him in a tight hug, to which he tensed up to. After the initial shock wore off, he brought his hands to you back. He wasn't exactly used to psychical affection, so he felt strange receiving this type of comfort from you, of all people. He didn't understand why he felt both better and worse at the same time upon your touch.

"We all know you were just doing what you thought was right. I'm sure you'll get another chance, so don't give up hope already."

He thought of just pushing you away, but his hands defied him, clawing into the material of your jacket. When you went to pull away finally he could feel tears threaten to spill once again.

"I don't know why you did that....but I think it's time you should go."

"I'm not leaving until you're feeling better."

"I'm fine..."

Sadly the voice crack he had didn't help him in his case. He'll just have to be annoyed with your presence for a while longer.

You ended up spending most of the day with him, and after a while, he was feeling good enough to warrant you to finally take your leave.

"Ok, so you know where to find me if you need me again right?"

"I can just call you, I have you number already."

"Alright, well I'm going to get some training in and then book a room for the night. We ended up talking for a pretty long time, not that I mind much."

"Just leaaaaveee alreadyyyy."

"Fineeeee, I'll see you later ok?"

He playfully pushed you out of the room.

"And don't come back."

"Veryyy funny!"

You knew he was only fronting, and that he didn't actually hate you that much. Hopefully, he'll be able to pick himself up after all of that, of course you didn't mind helping him again if another emotional breakdown was to occur for him.

Little did you know that he was going to be picked up by Opal and have that cocky confidence restored. When you did happen upon the news though, you were happy for him, you just hoped he'd still come to you if he was having trouble.
