Crush- Sloane x GNReader

A/N: This is my first Sloane story?! Let me know if you guys want more of her! (Also, next chapter will be a requested scenario so prepare yourselves- it's a long one!)

Slight TRIGGER WARNING: Some insecure thoughts & anxiety. I figured this may or may not trigger some people so be wary of minor self-deprecating humor and thoughts.

ALSO, THIS IS NOT LUTHER FRIENDLY (nor is much of my other work lol)

READERS POV- 2ND PERSON:

Falling for someone can be hard. Falling for the same person that your adoptive brother also happens to like, just adds an extra layer of difficulty. You can't even begin to get into how complicated everything is and it funnily enough all begins with a kidnapping.

You and Luther have never truly gotten along and yet here you are, running down the street together in mock workout fashion. You've never understood Luther's obsession with working out, but today he randomly asked you to join him, so you figured 'why not?'  You thought this could be his idea of reaching out to you, hoping for a stronger bond. Sadly, all thoughts of becoming closer begin to fizzle out when he decides to finally open his mouth. "So, Y/N I've noticed you seem to have a crush on a certain Sparrow."

Your mouth immediately falls agape as well as you slowly turning your head to stare at him with confused, wide eyes. Of course, you noticed the pretty Sparrow with her long brown hair and sparkling hazel eyes. So what you only got to see her on top of a banister before her and her siblings kicked YOUR siblings assess? You have eyes. You know she's stunning. Plus, the way she tried getting everyone to stop fighting really resonated with you, considering you were doing the same thing in that moment. Regardless of those few things, you have no idea how Luther of all people managed to put two and two together. He's not exactly the most observant nor the biggest fan of you.

"I have no clue what you mean." You try playing dumb, though anyone with a brain could see your nervousness. He scoffs. "Oh, please I know you think I have a monkey brain, but I know you're lying." "Nope, not lying. I've never lied in my life." You're just spewing gibberish now, only hoping for him to drop it. Luther begins to glare down at you as he responds, "you like Sloane just admit it."

Your heart stops. You can feel the panic reaching an all-time high. 'Why does he even care?' 'What good does it do him to know?' Questions fly through your head at a rapid rate. You only manage to mumble a meek, "maybe?" "YOU DO I KNEW IT!" He's glaring even harder than before. You really don't understand what's happening. "I'm sorry? Why does that matter to you at all?" He scoffs. "I like her too obviously. She's stunning and most definitely won't be into someone like you." "Someone like me? What the hell does that mean Luther?!" You've stopped running at this point and ended up near an alleyway leading to set of apartments. He looks you up and down before puffing out his chest. "I'm clearly a much better fit for her." You look down at yourself to see what the hell he's on about. "Dude, you're literally half ape?" He goes to retort only for you to catch a glimpse of a person running up behind him, darkness swiftly takes over moments after.

TIME SKIP- WAKEY WAKEY:

You awaken to your senses being mostly dulled as if you've been drugged, although you know you haven't been since you're not completely groggy. You can feel your arms and legs bound to something, easily spelling trouble. Your eyes are also covered with some sort of cloth which allows for a heightened sense of hearing. You focus and begin to hear muffled sounds from directly in front of you. Seconds after, whatever was covering your eyes gets lifted. You blink, adjusting to the new harsh lighting. "Y/N?" Someone gasps from beside you.

You turn and are met with a confusing sight. Luther bound up just as you are with the Sparrows standing in front of you. "What the hell... what's going on?" You look away from the Sparrows to Luther and back. You can't help but double take at the sight of Sloane. 'She's just as stunning as I remember', you quickly shake the thought from your head, though you swear you see Sloane smile at you before the Ben lookalike begins speaking. "Y/N and Luther" he smiles, "welcome to our home."

You stare with what must surely be a funny look on your face. Luther answers him before you can, "okay, NOT Ben, what's going on here? Just cut to the chase, would ya?" If you could face palm, you most definitely would. 'Yeah, let's back talk our kidnappers as if we could beat them in a fight right now.' You decide on a much gentler approach. "Please ignore him. Though, I'd also like to know why we're here." "Don't tell them to ignore me!" Your 'brothers' outrage fittingly goes ignored. Ben speaks for the group once again, "We invited the both of you here to become members of Sparrow Academy... well technically you're not BOTH invited." You tilt your head trying to gauge the Sparrows reactions to that. Your eyes linger on Sloane who gives you a reassuring smile and a well-hidden thumbs up.

The oaf decides to once again, speak up from beside you, "well I think I should be the newest member, considering I'm by far more powerful and better looking than Y/N over here." As much as he can with his hands tied, he jabs his thumb in your general direction. Acting as if the mere thought of you is enough to disgust him.

You feel a pang in your heart at his words. You don't know what you ever did to him, 'except for liking the same girl' you suppose. You get lost in your own head for a moment thinking he may be right. Maybe you aren't good enough for Sloane... or anyone. You're not the strongest or the smartest or the fastest. You're apparently not the best looking, ugly even. What were you ever thinking liking someone as beautiful and sm-. Your self-deprecation comes to an abrupt end as the woman herself declares, "I want Y/N to join."

Your head shoots up, you don't even remember it falling. Sloane looks absolutely furious, thankfully not at you, but at Luther. She continues, "how can you sit there and put down your own sibling?!" Luther doesn't have the gall or acting skills to look remotely sorry. "Listen I know you're just pretending to care about them, we all know you really want me. You can drop the act now." He looks so confident in his words that it's borderline comical when Sloane looks at him with pure disgust.

"I'd never want someone like you, someone mean and rude to those they're meant to call family! Sure families fight sometimes, but I'd never blatantly insult them like that! ESPECIALLY over something so personal as their looks!" You notice some objects around Sloane begin to hover due to her rising emotions. Ben takes notice of this as well. "Sloane that's enough calm down, we'll keep your favorite don't worry." She slowly lets the objects fall to their original positions. "Really?" Ben simply nods looking alittle wary.

Suddenly, Sloane looks to you and quickly rushes over, beginning to untie your wrists and legs. "I'm so sorry about this by the way, I didn't think they'd knock you out like that... especially with Luther tagging along" You rub your wrists to ease the sting. "I can't say I'm totally happy, but... thank you for sticking up for me. I appreciate it". You smile before it abruptly falters as you face Luther. He stares at you with so much hatred it almost burns holes through your skin. "You piece of sh-" He's not allowed to continue before Sloane promptly lifts him into the air and makes him fly outside with alarming speed. You almost jump at the sound of the door slamming shut for good measure.

You're all left staring at the closed door when Sloane clears her throat and brushes a strand of hair behind her ear. "Sorry about that, I just can't stand the guy." You chuckle, "you and me both." The other Sparrows, who you forgot were there until now, begin to shuffle out of the room leaving only you, Sloane, and Ben remaining. Ben speaks up now looking mildly bored, "I guess it's decided who we like best, what do you say Y/N, care to be a Sparrow?" It only takes one glance at Sloane to decide on your answer. "Hell yeah!"
