More Than Meets the Eye (Alex x Reader)

Breaking Down

(A/N: warning! Angst ahead! Cheating etc.)

You sighed and wiped the sweat off of your forehead as you dropped the last box on the floor of Sebastian's room. Hands wrapped around your waist from behind and a small kiss was planted on your cheek. You giggled and turned around to look at your fiance.

"Is that the last of it?" He asked with a smile.

"Yep! You're all moved in!" You chirped happily. Sebastian smiled at you before pulling away to start unpacking his things in his new room. You smiled and grabbed your backpack and to-do list.

"Don't forget I'm going to the saloon tonight with Sam and Abby. So I won't be back until way late." Sebastian yelled after you as you went to finish your chores for the day.

"Okay Seb!" You yelled and ran out of the house. You rode your horse into town to see the Mullners. You dismounted and walked inside.

"Hello dear!" Granny immediately came to the door to greet you. You bent down and gave her a hug.

"Hi Granny, I have a delivery for George and a present for you!" You said, digging through your bag to hand her a diamond.

"Oh thank you dear! You've made an old lady very happy!" She said with a bright smile. You gave her a big smile and walked into the living room where George was watching TV. He looked up at you and smiled.

"Y/n! Come watch TV with me!" He said happily.

"Hi George!" You smiled and walked over to him, leaning down and giving him a hug. You fumbled in your bag and pulled out a massive paper bag full of all of the fresh leeks you could forage.

"I brought you something!" You said before handing him the bag. He opened it and his smile somehow widened.

"These are my favorite! Thank you!" You smiled and sat down to watch TV with him for a little bit. You only needed to see Robin and Pierre today so you could stand to hang out for a little bit. The door clicked open and Alex's voice boomed through the house.

"Grandma! Grandpa! I'm home!" He said as he walked into the house. Granny came over and gave him a hug.

"Welcome home Alex!" She walked over and grabbed the bag of leeks from George.

"Oh. Hey farmer!" Alex waved at you with a smile. You waved back and gave him a small smile. You looked at your watch and jumped up.

"Oh! Sorry George, I have to finish some things up before the wedding tomorrow!"

"No problem dear, have a good night." He said, gently clasping your hands before letting you go.

"Congratulations again!" Granny said as you walked out of the house. You gave them a wave and left. How those sweet old people raised a cocky meathead like Alex was beyond you. You knew his dad was abusive and that his mom had passed away, but that still didn't feel like a good enough reason to act as arrogant as he did. You shook your head to clear your thoughts. You had errands to run and a wedding to get ready for. You rode your horse up through town to Robin's house. Your future in-laws happily greeted you at the door. After you dropped off Robin's stone order and a battery pack for Maru you sat down with them to talk for a moment.

"I'm so excited! I've never had a sister! Much less one with so much brawn AND brains!" Maru said, holding you in a death grip.

"Maru, you're going to crush the poor girl!" Demetrius laughed. Maru chuckled nervously and let you go. Robin reached across the table and grabbed your hands.

"We are so very excited to welcome you to the family!" She said with a soft smile.

"Thank you." You said with a smile. You sat and talked with the family for a while before Robin's clock chimed 8.
