Aris Jones X Reader One Shots

My Hero (Part 5)

I didn't look at him when I put my skates on. I didn't speak to him. I didn't hug him. I didn't acknowledge that he exists in any way, shape, or form.

He wouldn't look at me either. He also kept making that clicking sound with his tongue. The one he only makes when he feels guilty about something. It's a giveaway that I used to find cute.

We both pretended not to notice it. I pretended not to notice the guilty, unconscious habit. He pretended not to know that after today, we were done.

"Y/N, I need to talk to you,"Harriet called. Walking past him, we both avoided looking at each other as I met her.

"Yeah?"I asked, feigning ignorance to what she wanted to speak to me about.

"Someone told me you're thinking of staying in the Maze overnight? Is that true?"She asked outright.

"Yes. It is,"I admitted, not seeing the point in hiding it.

"Okay. Well, I thought about it, and I think it's a good idea."

"You do?"I asked quickly, a grin of excitement and disbelief crossing my lips.

"Yes. I do, but I would like to wait a little longer. I want an official game plan."

"I'll wait as long as you want,"I promised.

"Okay. That's all so for now get to the Maze,"She commanded, patting my shoulder before walking away to take care of other leader things. To be honest, who cares? I'm going to get to be in the Maze overnight! I'm getting us out! We're getting out!

Rushing back to the Skaters hut, I practically flung the door open as I grabbed my stuff. Looking at Melly, I waited for the schedule while holding in my smile. Nothing, absolutely nothing, could kill my joy.

"First up, Y/N and Aris, section one."

Damn. I guess I was wrong.

So now I get to be alone with my unofficial ex all day. Yay. What fun.

We didn't talk as we mapped everything out. There was no reason to. We already knew it was over so why push it? What was the point?

"Have you seen anything new?"He mumbled, glancing over at me as I was just trying to write my part down.

"Besides Harriet this morning, no."

"I'm sorry, but it's just going to get you hurt."

"Oh no. She's on board with it,"I shrugged.

"She's what?!"

"Yeah. She thinks it's a good idea."

"How?! How is that a good idea?!"

"Would you mind not screaming three feet from my ear?"

"You're going to kill yourself."

"Wow. Good to see your faith in me,"I deadpanned, rolling my eyes.

"I'm not just saying it as whatever we are now. I'm saying it as your best friend, who cares about you."

"Okay, but I don't care. Nothing you say could stop me."

"Harriet was supposed to stop you."

"Well, luckily for me, she didn't."

"Y/N-"
"I'm done talking about this. Just like I'm done talking to you,"I promised, walking out.

"Well, I'm not done talking to you,"He argued, following me anyway.
