See Right Through Me - Millard Nullings x reader

10 ZAP

Y/n pov
We both stood there at the edge of the cliff. Both of us stayed silent. I couldn't see his expression but I could guess it was some sort of shock. He wiped the tears off my face with his thumb. His hands were so soft. He was so gentle. I wanted to kiss him but I couldn't. I don't know if he wanted me to. I couldn't see him either. He put his arms around me as I cried into his shoulder. He rubbed circles on my back as I continued to let my emotions run free.

"Y/n, I'm sorry for yelling at you. I just didn't want to lose the one I love the most."

I look up at him,"what?"
"Uh, I mean my dear friend." He rubbed his neck with his right hand as he kept his left hand around my waist.

"I love you too, Millard."
He froze and dropped both of his arms,"you really mean it?"

I rolled my eyes at him and he leaned in for a kiss. I closed my eyes as he pressed his soft lips against mine. He pulled away slowly and whispered,"we should probably shouldn't tell Ms. Peregrine about this. Or Hugh. Or Victor."

I giggled as we walked back to the house and into the library. He sat on the couch and I sat next to him with my legs draped over his lap. He picked up the nearest book and started reading.

"Wait," I just remembered about Horace's dream,"I gotta go find Horace."

I almost reach the door but he runs after me and picks me up by my waist and swings me around,"Oh no! You are NOT getting away from me this time! Haha!"

Suddenly the chandelier starts to glow but Millard doesn't notice. I touch his arm and he drops me immediately. He screams in pain,"AAH! Did you just zap me?!"

My eyes go wide and I start to back away. The memories are coming back to me from when I was a kid.

I had zapped my father on accident. I don't remember why but he was in some pain. I was about 12 at the time. He dragged me into my room and-

I snapped out of my memory as Millard took my hands and said,"y/n, don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you. No one is here to hurt you. Except for maybe Enoch, but that's just him, okay?"

I blinked and came back to the world of the loop. "I'm okay. Sorry about the zap."
"It's alright, I'll be fine."

He shoos me out and I go look for Horace. I wander past the kitchen to find Enoch making a pb & j. "Who are you looking for?" He didn't even look up from his sandwich.
"You know that dinner is gonna be in a like a minute."

"That's not what I asked," the grump stated bluntly.

I rolled my eyes,"I'm looking for Horace."

"Not here," he turned to dump his dish in the sink.

"What do you mean 'not here'? I swear I just saw him."

"And he left. Why are you still talking to me?" He turned to leave but I held onto his shoulder and shocked him.

"Ow! And that's not an answer to my question!"

"Then talk!" I heard lightning flash outside.  Both of us stare out the window as the lightning vanishes.

"Did you do that?" His eyes widen slightly revealing dark circles I didn't notice before.

"I don't know. But sometimes when I cry it rains if I'm around clouds that are near by. I don't know how to control it."

He grabbed my hand,"come with me. I'm going to study you."
