Hercules x reader (fem perspective) (Cryotion city side stories)

~~

As you were calmly handling business inside the shop you suddenly hear a loud bang and crash from out front. Upon investigating the loud noises you spot a man laying in the flower bed. The girl, surprised to find a man laying in front of her shop, stares at the strange person, not taking her attention off him for even a moment. Slowly stepping forward, she crouches next to the man, her eyes scanning for wounds. He softly sneezed making some petals fly off his hair and body. His soft yellow eyes looked to yours as he itched at his blonde hair that was all messy around his black horns. "H-hercules? Th-the hero?" You questioned gently reaching to pull some of the broken flower stems off him. The girl stares at Hercules with a surprised look. Though he was a hero, she had never seen him up close. You took a couple steps forward and began to pull the broken flower stems off of him with a small smile and nod. "I've heard of you, yes. Are you injured?" you asked curiously, leaning closer to inspect any wounds he may have. Despite the destruction of your flowers, it didn't phase you. His cheeks flushed a bit as he locked his eyes with yours. "I- I'm alright- sorry about the flower bed-" He laughed nervously as he was getting up slowly by her guidance. He looked down at you towering over you a tad. You tilted your head to look up at his giant figure, but it didn't scare you. You chuckled softly, looking back up at him with an amused smile. "Don't worry about the flowers," You said, waving your hands off as if it was nothing, although you were a little sad. You were proud of your flowers and your shop, so to see the flowers destroyed made you a little down. But you also didn't hold any Ill feelings to Hercules. He was a hero after all. Although he was a hero, you have never really spoken to him before, despite following his adventures through the city. Hercules was just another customer in this case. A very attractive customer. How did you let yourself go that route in your head, again? "Surely i can make this up to you- Really they were very pretty flowers- I may not know a lot about flowers... But i do know yours are the best smelling and prettiest ones i ever wrecked into-" He grinned giving a goofy smile. He always had a way of making everyone around him just smile. You let out another small chuckle. "And you were very pretty to look at as well," You replied teasingly. Hercules was definitely a sight for sore eyes. His giant figure was enough to make anyone melt, but his genuine personality was just enough to steal the hearts of people around him. He was a hero and was an ideal man. "Don't worry, you made my day and if I wanted the flowers to be repaired or to receive payment, then I would just bill my insurance," You joked. You laughed gently before reaching to gently run your fingers through his hair to try to untangle some of the strands. The hero looked cute as you ran your fingers through his messy blond locks. "And that's another issue, I would rather not have you wasting money on something that could be done with a simple insurance bill," You said, stopping running your fingers into his hair and leaning back to stand upright. "Who said it would be a waste-" He spoke up gently catching your arm holding onto your wrist gently as your hand was in his hair looking to you with a soft warmed gaze. "How about a coffee-" He insisted. As you tried to gently tug your hand free, Hercules had a firm grip on your wrist holding you back as he looked at you with those warm yellow eyes. After a few moments you let out a sigh and stopped trying to get free before you gave a light smile. "You really are as persistent as people say you are," You chuckled as you looked down at the large man who just wanted you to join him for a simple coffee date. "Well i don't often wreck into pretty girls flower beds- so yes i would say i am pretty persistent to make this up to you." He proudly stated nodding. It was adorable from the crinkle of his nose to his brows softly furrowing as he gave a gentle pout. The spitting image of the boy next door. You let out a loud laugh at his pout and how he tried to look angry even with his giant size. After a moment, you couldn't contain yourself anymore and your giggles filled the air from your laughter. You shook your head side to side trying to take hold of your laugh. You had to agree with him that he certainly was persistent. He was also quite handsome so a date wouldn't be so hard to accept. His soft pout formed into a goofy smile fairly fast the second he caught you giggling which made him chuckle a bit himself. "So about that coffee?" He chimed giving puppy dog eyes. Your laugh turned into a chuckle as you gave him a light smile. You couldn't help it, his giant size could be intimidating, but his personality was anything but that. You felt comfortable and safe around him. "I'll accept your invitation", You stated before adding, "But only if you don't try anything too cheesy." You teased him, playfully. "Not too cheesy huh-" He gave an immature gaze as he snatched you up bridal style into his arms smirking a bit. "Not to worry my 'lady i never act cheesy-" He continued clearly acting like a goofball unafraid to be himself. Your heart skipped a beat as he just scooped you up and carried you bridal style as he stated that he would never be cheesy. You let out a loud gasp before covering your mouth as you let off another light giggle that was a little shy and embarrassed. This man certainly knew how to make a girl blush. "Really?" You asked, playing into his cheesy act as you glanced up at him with a light blush on your cheeks. Hercules smirked down at you knowing well that his cheesy act was working. The giant hero couldn't help but let out a short chuckle as you played into his act perfectly. He was quite surprised by his own behavior in all honesty. He had not thought he would carry you bridal style so soon after meeting you, but something inside him thought that it would be hilarious and romantic at the same time. The hero was not disappointed with the results. He grinned cheekily as he set you down once the two of you got to the coffee shop which he casually opened the door for you. Your blush grew slightly as the large hero opened the door for you. You never expected a massive man like him to be the type to open a door for you like you were some kind of fragile princess or something of the sorts. This man was a hero after all. You giggled and gave him yet another shy smile as you walked into the cafe that he had picked. "You know, I must admit, you have certainly impressed me. And I was told you were pretty cheesy," You commented as you walked in looking to him. "Tch- if you mean real romance is cheesy i suppose i am." He nodded as the two of you stood in line. "I'm feeling a honey drizzle mocha~ How about you?" He asked curiously. You chuckled softly as he nodded in agreement. He was definitely in love with love. You had to admit, this man definitely knew his way around girls. He was charming, witty, romantic and confident. Not to mention how he had a way of making you feel safe and secure. You took a moment to think about what you were feeling. "I'll have a caramel latte", You answered him as you then glanced over to him with your hands folded together in front of you. Hercules's soft yellow eyes stared back at you as you finished speaking. He watched you look at him and took note of how you held yourself together so poised and regal. It was cute, he felt almost charmed. His eyebrows furrowed and then lifted as he seemed like he wanted to say something but stopped himself. For some reason he felt the urge to kiss you, but he held himself back as he quickly averted his gaze. Your eyes and lips looked so kissable, he was surprised by his urges. Your face flushed the moment you felt his eyes lingering on your mouth. You were caught off guard by this as you suddenly found yourself staring into his eyes, locked in his gaze as yours was caught in his yellow eyes. Your eyes held back the blush, but you could feel the warmth rising on your cheeks. You suddenly felt very self conscious and you let your hair softly drop to your face hiding behind some of it to hide the blush. Hercules's eyes continued to study your facial expression and your slight blush. It was adorable how you hid behind some of your hair with the other part of it falling to your face. The hero almost wanted to take a moment to caress your cheek with his fingers to comfort you, but it would be out of the norm and he didn't know how you'd react. The hero was surprised that he had such an urge to kiss you. He had to admit that it was cute how you looked right now, hiding behind your hair as your cheeks flushed. "You look so adorable, you know that?" Hercules said randomly after taking a moment to observe your features. It was the first thing that came to mind and he just blurted it out. His eyes stared and lingered on your blushing cheeks before moving to study your lips. The thought of kissing you was still on his mind as he stared back at your lips. The feeling of wanting to kiss you was strong in this moment and he wanted to act upon it, but he didn't know how you would react. Would you react negatively or positively? Hercules smiled softly as he spoke the truth. You had made him feel comfortable and at ease and he felt like he could be himself entirely around you. You were his natural medicine, he thought as the urge to kiss your soft pink lips continued. Just one kiss and then he would be content. Was that too much to ask for? The soft blush that you showed seemed adorable to Hercules. The hero let out a deep sigh before he finally spoke up, "May I?" The hero asked taking in your blushing pink cheeks and your delicate lips. You froze the moment he asked if he could kiss you. His eyes searched your face as he waited for an answer. Your heart pounded inside your chest as some nervous butterflies were making themselves at home in your very core of your being. It would feel so good to be touched by that soft and warm touch. He seemed sweet and genuine, which made your body tingle with anticipation and want. There was no denying this feeling. "Yes!" You blurted out immediately, giving him a nod and a light blush. Hercules smiled as the butterflies inside you seemed to take flight as he slowly leaned down to you, his hand raising to cup your face as his soft lips slowly got closer to yours. They were so close that you could feel his breath on your skin. The feeling of his warm breath was enough to send your heart rate through the roof. Hercules's breath was hot and sweet and you couldn't resist the feeling of your lips touching his. The hero's yellow eyes then closed as he moved his hand to your waist holding your body closer to his. Hercules gave a light moan as your lips met. You could feel his heart thumping inside his chest as he held you to his body. The hero's tongue softly pressed to yours, and you couldn't help but let out a soft moan as you kissed back. The kiss was passionate and hot and it felt absolutely amazing. It was like nothing you had ever felt before. There was no denying the feeling in your chest which made you weak in the knees. Once the kiss was over, Hercules had let you go and you both slowly opened your eyes.
