Bridging Stat (Kris Statlander x OC)

Kris

I woke up to a gentle shaking. My eyes opened and I could see a familiar tattooed hand on my thigh. Slowly they trailed to find a face and I couldn't help but smile as my eyes landed on Zeke's.

"I'm sorry.... I'd have carried you but...." I cut him off my grabbing his shirt and kissing him. Yes.... I was totally using the kiss to wake up but can you blame me?

"If I'd had woken up to you carrying me I would've murdered you...." As he laughed I couldn't help the fact that I kissed his cheek.

"You say that but I really don't believe it." His lips pressed to mine for a brief moment before he pulled away. Yeah.... There's no way I could.... "Ready to see Boots?"

"Just...." His eyebrow raised before I undid the seatbelt and turned in the seat. I swear he could read my mind because before I could even get my arms fully around him, his arm was around me in a tight hug.

"All you've gotta do is ask...." His words were quiet and I couldn't help but kiss his cheek. That was when a sigh left my lips. "That tired?"

"How quickly did I fall asleep?" I could hear his chuckle.

"Don't even think we made it out of the parking garage...." I could feel myself turning red. "Fuck you're cute...." The words were meant to be said under his breath but due to our proximity I heard them clearly.

"Where's the mirror?" Thats when he turned bright red and I couldn't help but laugh. My lips pressed to his red cheek before I spoke into his ear. "You're the cute one."

"Nah.... Still you." His words were nonchalant as he carefully pulled away. His hand outstretched towards me and I stared at him for a moment. "What is it?" He questioned before I took his hand and slipped from the car.

"I'll be honest.... Nobody has ever done that for me before...." A light chuckle escaped his lips.

"Might wanna get used to it then. Haven't gotten the chance before because you're out the car before I can even turn it off." My eyes met his before I felt him move a piece of hair behind my ear. He is going to absolutely melt me I swear. "So.... Expect it to happen more.... Because I'm going to lock you in if you don't let me." I couldn't help my laugh before I tiptoed and kissed him. Fuck did he make this all so simple. He pulled away and I could see a smile form along his lips.

"Alright...." I couldn't help but boop his nose getting him to laugh. "Let's go save Boots from her cage."

"Um.... Would you kill me if I said she wasn't in her cage...?" I swear I could feel my heart start to race. I could only imagine where Boots could've gotten to in his house while we weren't there.

"Where in the hell is she Zeke?!" When he laughed I nearly pushed past him to get into the house. I could feel his hand on my hip stopping me from moving.

"Relax Kris. I might not be the biggest fan of lizards and that but I'd never do anything to put her in harms way. I just.... I got bored and we went to the store and well.... You've kinda gotta see for yourself...." I peeked over my shoulder and could see him taking a quick look at my ass. Don't blame him.... And glad to know he's interested.... His eyes flicked back up and met mine before he turned bright red. He knew he had been caught and fuck was it cute. "I-I-I um.... I'm sorry...." The worst stumbled from his lips and laughter slipped from mine.

"Why?" I had to bite back a smirk as his eyebrow raised at my challenge.

"I guess I'm not then...." I watched him for a moment and could see his crooked smile make an appearance. Fuck it. I turned and kissed him without a second thought. He pulled away as his arm wrapped around my waist. I just about melted into his warmth. "Let's go and check on Boots and then we'll get you warm and you can sleep the rest of the day away." His words were comforting and gentle. I couldn't help that my face buried into his chest as I nodded. He gently squeezed me getting me to release a sigh. Lord everything about him was comforting.

"I don't wanna move...." The words came as a groan into his chest and I could hear him chuckle lightly.

"I know. Neither do I.... But the sooner we move the warmer you'll be." I looked up at him and just as I did he kissed my nose. Oh.... My.... He's perfect. Like actually fucking perfect. I couldn't help my smile and he returned it. "Here.... Shuffle...." I looked at him slightly confused before he chuckled and his feet began to shuffle along the floor. I followed his movements before he guided us into his house. I couldn't help my laugher as we slowly moved.

"So where's Boots?" He looked down at me probably seeing if I wanted to separate from him but fuck that.... His warmth was amazing right now. My arms tightened around him gently and I could feel his good arm do the same.

"Over this way...." He said before gently guiding me into a room we had only been into once. Wait.... He really made Boots an entire sanctuary where he kept his piano.... There's no way.... "Everything alright?" I swear he could sense my hesitation.

"Mhm.... I'm just surprised to see you turning into such a softie for her." He chuckled as his eyes met mine. That was when I knew he wasn't going soft for Boots....

"Not going soft for her.... Well maybe slightly.... But-." I cut him off by kissing him. I could feel myself get gently pressed into the door frame as his lips moved perfectly with mine. My fingers threaded in his hair and I swear he melted into me. Fuck he's perfect. It felt like an hour later that we pulled away and our breathing was ragged. One of my hands slipped to his chest and my god I could feel his heart racing. Mind you mine was doing the same but.... To have his doing the same was new. "You have no idea what you're doing to me." My lips pressed to Zeke's cheek before I responded.

"I do.... You're doing the same to me."
