Between The Lines | Ghost x Reader x König

Chapter 8 : Here

I was too focused on thinking about how I'm going to fix the problems my father left me to the point I didn't see where I was going, and when I take the last stairs to the first floor, I'm hit by a brick of a wall.

Well, a person built like a fucking wall.

The files scattered around as I fell on my butt. I look up to see who it was, only to be met with cold brown eyes already staring down at me.

"What the fuck, Ghost!?"

Not only he didn't answer, but he even had the audacity to cross his arms in front of his chest and let out a huff. Shouldn't I be the one who's upset?

I rolled my eyes when he stood in his position like an unwavering anchor, then I decided to just collect the files and go to my bedroom. I know he won't lend me a hand even if I ask, so why waste my time to even do that?

"Here."

I snapped my head up to look at him that was already crouching down, holding some files in hand while he gave me one that was the same color as what I was currently holding. He even realized the color arrangements?

I quickly shove the thought away and snatch the file back. After I'm done, I extend my hand to take the files that are still in his hands, only for him to get up and look behind me to the stairs leading to the basement. "Where are you going?" He asked.

I get up as well, once again extending my hand to him. "I can do it myself." It made him finally look at me and look back at the basement before looking at me again.

"Your room? Let's go." Then he simply turned around and walked away.

I only look at his back, dumbfounded, and it seems my mind thinks that now is the time to be slow. I blink my eyes a few times as I still couldn't process what just happened in only a matter of seconds.

As if sensing I wasn't following behind him, he stopped and turned to look at me. "If you're good with me get in your room by myself; I'm going to do just that." His words snapped me back to reality as I quickly approached him and took the lead.

When we began taking the stairs, I finally realized what happened. "Did you just order me around?" I stop and look back at him. Now that I'm higher because I take the stairs ahead of him, I finally can look down at him, even if it's just a short-lived because he turned me around and then pushed me with the files in his hand.

"Keep walking." He sounds annoyed. But once again, shouldn't I be the one who's annoyed?

"Weirdo." I mutter under my breath as I started walking. But then I stopped and turned to look at him. "Don't order me around." I narrowed my eyes at him before I looked to the front and started walking again.

He remained silent at my remark, as if I weren't even worth his time. Whatever. The more I talk, the more time I will spend with him, and the more annoyed I'll get with each passing second.

The rest of the walk was filled with silence until we reached my door. I twisted open the doorknob, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.

It was a room with a (f/c) wall. Nothing special and only fill with anything necessary for living. I don't really like to decorate it since I don't have time for it, and it'll only cost more money, which I definitely could use for other useful things.

I open one of my drawers beside my bed and place the files inside. I step aside and let Ghost place it there as well. I thought he was going to leave as soon as he's done with whatever he has in mind, but apparently, he still has something to say to me. Which I know better than to let him finish it, which I did.
