Shantae X Male Reader Oneshots

Shall We Dance? (Shantae X Male Reader)

Gosh, Scuttlebutt was hosting a ball at his little palace. Being the boring, milk toast body guard of his, I'm also required to come along.

Not that I have a choice or anything. It's just, I don't usually like large parties. Especially those hosted by this halfwit I'm working for.

But who knows. Maybe it'll be good. You never know until you try.

It was going to be at seven tonight. The usual time when the sun goes down. It'll be dark by then. Good. Cause I love the warm, yet cool nights of Sequin Land. Takes the edge off the pills.

Turn the clocks forward a little bit and here I am. Standing within the palace with my spear in hand, watching over everyone like a creep.

I don't know why I was put in this position, but hey, I did apply for this job after all.

Time flew me by as people started coming into the building, lines at a time.

Nobody seemed to be causing any trouble, which was good by me. The only thing I wasn't expecting was my friend, Shantae to roll up. She looked so beautiful. Her purple hair let loose, wearing a midriff revealing dress. Gosh, I could stare at her for hours with that look.

I quickly snapped out of it in favor of my job. I had a job to do, so I couldn't lose focus.

The place became busy, but it was still peaceful. This is just my party. That was until Scuttlebutt came up beside me and smiled smugly.

"How's my favorite guard doing?" He asked warmly.

"Oh, just fine, now that you're here." I replied sarcastically.

Scuttlebutt touched my shoulder and laughed it off. "Oh, you always know how to make me laugh. You know that right?" He told me. That served to irritate me further.

"Yeah, yeah. Glad to be a service." I told him with a deadpan expression.

"I'm trusting you to keep order in this party. Don't let me down!" He told me before walking off.

"You got my word on it." I muttered, looking down at the ground.

Geez. Doesn't he have better things to do?

I was then left alone for a little while before Shantae caught sight of me. I was beginning to have a internal panic attack as she skipped over to me.

Keep your cool, Y/N. She's just your friend.

Shantae arrived and greeted me with a small smile. "Y/N! It's great to see you! Aren't you supposed to be on street patrol tonight? She asked.

"I was. But there weren't any spare guards to take this role. So, I was assigned to this position instead." I told her.

Shantae raised her eyebrows. "Huh. That sounds odd. Scuttlebutt's very strict when it comes to his guards. Surprised he changed his plans so suddenly." She said.

"Same." I replied.

"Come to think of it... you look lonely. You can join me if you want. I hate to see a friend like this." She said offering me her hand. I sighed and holstered my spear.

"Why not. It's not like anyone's coming to invade anyway." I said grabbing her hand.

Shantae smiled with delight. "Alright! Here we go!" She said as she led me to the dance floor. I was pleased to have Shantae as a dance partner. I think she had the same notion.

Anyway, we got to the dance floor and everyone had their partners in hand, ready to slow dance.

I could feel my heart melt inside my chest. I liked Shantae as a friend, yes, but I also liked her in 'that way.' That probably explains why I was getting edgy.

Shantae and I got into position and embraced each other. I gently held her close as we waited for the music to start. We then began to gently sway each other to and from while looking into each other's eyes.

I could feel this warm, fuzzy feeling arouse in my chest. It felt icky, but comforting.

I could see Shantae slightly blushing. It was cute. What was more cute was the height difference. She was slightly shorter than me, so seeing her at this angle was so mesmerizing. That made me blush more.

I gazed into her big, blue, beautiful eyes as I glided my hands up her arms. She was so soft and she smelled so good. It was heavenly.

I really couldn't believe that this was actually happening. I had to be dreaming.

There was something in Shantae's eyes that caught my attention. I didn't know if it was the magic or if her eyes were just that way, but damn they were shining.

The gaze was intense. It felt like she was looking straight into my soul. I felt tempted to kiss her right then and there, but I wasn't sure how she was going to react.

The dance was almost over and Shantae released my neck and placed her hands on my chest. A warm, fuzzy sensation pulsed through my veins. I couldn't help but to admire her perfect body. It seemed like she fit right into my hands.

Shantae kept smiling warmly at me while I was completely flushed. I was completely at a loss for words at this moment.

Hell, it was probably better to say nothing.

The music died down and the lights suddenly came back on. We looked around. Shantae sighed and glided her hands off of my chest.

"Well, it's over. I gotta admit, that was pretty thrilling." Shantae said.

I rubbed my head and looked away blushing. "Y-You're telling me." I said following a nervous chuckle.

Shantae smiled and looked down  chuckling a little bit. "Well... I guess this means goodbye for now..." She said with a slightly disappointed tone.

"Yeah. It sucks knowing I gotta go back to work. This job pays well and all, but it's just Scuttlebutt that gets on me." I said rubbing my arm.

Shantae smiled warmly again. "Hey, if it'll make you feel better... Here's a little something I wanna give ya before I go!" She said.

"And what might that be-" Before I could even react, she gave me a sweet little kiss on the cheek with a small "Mwa!" sound following it.

I blushed madly and my eyes widened. Did that really just happen?

Shantae smiled and looked down to the side. "Well... I'll be seeing you!" She said before skipping off.

I held my check and watched her bounce away. "Y-You too..." I said awkwardly as I stood there stunned.

Out of all the ways my night could've ended, I never imagined it like this.
