Shadow and Bone - One shots!

Jesper - A Healing Kiss

You just had a long day of standing by the door, watching Jesper have all the fun at the tables. Laughing, drinking and flirting. You wished you were over there, beside him. Joking, giggling and looking at you. Not the beautiful people surrounding him. Inej silently snuck up on you and watched as you stared at Jesper.

"Eyes got you busy, huh?" She joked, I jumped but rolled my eyes when I noticed it was her.

"We need to get you bell and if you haven't noticed, I'm trying to guard the door." I retorted and crossed my arms. But I turned the other way to help deny my pervious activities.

"Yeah, that looked very difficult while you check out Jesper." Inej softly hit my shoulder, I sighed and leaned onto the door.

"I can't wait for this day to end. My feet hurt." I groaned.

"Yeah and I bet your eyes hurt from-" I interrupted, jokingly pushing her.

"Alright, one more mention of that and I'll just lock you out of here." We laughed but I looked behind Inej and notice Kaz walking towards us. "Cane alert." I whispered.

"Where's Jesper? He's supposed to be helping you at door." He asked while his eyes searched the crowd of drunks.

"He's on flirtin duty." I replied pointing to Jesper at the tables. Kaz scoffed and walked his way over to him, seemingly chewing him out. Jesper began walking over to us, head down and Kaz behind him. "Welcome back! How was the customers?" I asked, Jesper furrowed his eyebrows at me and I put my hands up in defense.

"Inej go make sure nothing happens on the floor. You two; Stay at your posts." I saluted Kaz as he took his leave and I resumed my spot leaning against the door. I took a peak at Jesper, he seemed tense and annoyed while staring off.

"What's the matter? Mad you got put back to the job?" I teased but he kept his stance. "Hey, Jes. Are you ok?" I asked becoming concerned.

"I was just having a little fun, we've been constantly busy and I wanted to enjoy myself." I looked at him.

"Come on, you know how Kaz is. We close in like 20 minutes and the place is almost cleared out. We can relax then." I lightly smiled at him, giving my best effort of looking comforting without looking weird. He sighed but his eyes still showed a bit of annoyance.

"You're right. I can't wait for us to close." He finally looked at me and calmed down. He has beautiful eyes. He looked away but I allowed my eyes to linger a little longer before slowly looking back at the crowd to people. Eventually, the place emptied out and I went around to tidy up. The bartenders had said his goodbyes and left, so I headed up to my room. I quickly took off my shoes and threw myself on to my bed, landing on my stomach. My bed always was just as comfortable as when I leave it in the morning. But I heard a soft knock at the door.

"Who is it?" I said.

"It's me." Jesper.

"Come in." Jesper slowly opened the door, holding something. He brought the chair from my desk and I moved so my feet dangled from my bed. He seemed to be holding two small glasses. "What's this?" I said as he handed me one.

"A relaxer." He winked and took a sip of his own drink. I tasted mine, it was delicious and full of sweetness but tart. Just how I like it.

"Thank you, I needed this." I set the glass on my night stand and laid fully on my bed, a groan came from me as I stretched. "Today's been stressful."

"That's why I wanted to talk to you." He seemed serious, I sat up and looked at him. "I was rude to you and you didn't deserve it. I apologize and I'm hoping that drink could help a bit." He shrugged and I laughed, picking up the glass again.

"You always know how I like them and never get my drink order wrong." I smiled, looking at the liquor.

"So apology forgiven?" He stared at me waiting for a response and I looked up.

"Only if you keep making me drinks when you put your anger on me, I'll always forgive you!" He laughed and threw his head back.

"You're a good companion, Y/N." He smiled at me.

"Companion? What a word!" I laughed but he looked at me, smiling but confused.

"Is that not the right word to describe you with?" He questioned, I reeled from my feeling on cloud nine when I noticed what I said.

"Well. I didn't mean that exactly. I don't what I was saying!" I set the glass down and laid on my bed but he moved to sit on the corner of the mattress.

"Did I perhaps.. friend zone you?" He smiled and I avoided his eye contact.

"As if! You're just some floozy drunk to me!" I moved closer to the headboard as he moved closer. I held my breath.

"Floozy? Oh you break my heart! Nothing but a dirty floozy!" He held his chest and fell to the bed while I laughed.

"Oh my dearest apologies! I don't know what crossed my mind! You are the man that owns my heart! My soul! I would end lives for you!" I joked along, I moved to where he laid, and put my hands on top of his.

" I might die from the dreadful words you spoke." I contained myself from laughing.

"What can I do to fix my troubling actions?" I act faking worry.

"A kiss will save me!" He laughed but I scooted back.

"Kiss?" I repeated, he looked at me worried.

"I'm sorry, I was just amusing the thought. You don't have to." I shook my head.

"I just- I have never kissed anyone before." I admitted. It was embarrassing. But he cupped my cheek.

"I'll be your first." he lowered his voice and I felt my heart skip a beat.

"Only if it'll heal you." I slightly smiled, he rubbed his thumb across my jawline and leaned in. It was soft until I tried to pull back and he moved his body so he could hold my waist. It felt as though he was craving it and he kept pulling me closer till I was on his lap. I had to pull away, but he seemed as if he didn't want me too. But I needed air. He looked at me.

"You're beautiful when you're red." He laughed, I didn't realize that my face had heated up and I was blushing. I hid my face in my hands but he grabbed my chin and kissed me again.

"I need you." he admitted, he kept saying it. Over and over again. The words rang through my ears.
