Written In the Stars (Boothill x reader)

16

" so what happened exactly? Where is Veritas and Aventurine?" I asked Boothill.

We were currently in the same room and sitting next to each other on the bed. Our fingers intertwined and my head on his shoulder. I could hear his mechanical fans whir within his body, giving a soft and comforting hum in the quietness of the room. "well after you fainted I kinda, went a lil' crazy. Shot at Aventurine and busted in there to get you out. You little boyfriend told me to just get you an' leave. I didn't ask any questions so I jus' scooped you up an' left" 

I tilt my head, "so where are we?" He chuckled and kissed my forehead, "you still ask so many questions. What matters now is that we are safe." I furrow my brows as him and fold my arms, "are we still on Penacony?" He chuckled and looked away, "not exactly...we are at Penacony but not on Penacony." 

I glared at him and he raised his palms with a chuckle, "easy there missy. What I'm trying to sawy is we are on the Astral Express. They owe me a small favor so for now we're seeking refuge on their train." 

"so we're just floating in space?" I ask curiously and he laughed, "pretty much baby. Right above Penacony. If you look out the window you can see it." A wave of gratitude and guilt washed over me and i started to fidget with my fingers. Boothill seemed to take notice and he hooked his fingers under my chin gently and pulled my gaze to his, "what's wrong sugar? don't like it here?" 

I shake my head, "no, no. I do like it here, its just...you used a favor from someone as vauable as the Nameless to rescue me. Wouldn't you need it for something more important?" His laughter echoed across the room and he doubled over, smacking the bed. 

"oh darlin', dont you get it? Yer the most important thing to me now, I made a promise to myself to always protect you...whether or not you decided to forgive me or not. As long as you were safe at all times." he confessed, chuckling in between in words. My heart skipped a beat and I felt my face grow warm, the realization of his words seeping into my skin. 

"hearing you say that...just made me fall in love with you all over again..." I mutter and his gaze snapped to mine and he smirked, "well im glad i can still woo you hun'" I roll my eyes and turn away from him. He laughed and pulled at my sleeve, trying to get me to face him. 

"I'm sorry for doubting you..I should've known you'd never lie to me." I confess and he sighs. I feel his cold metallic arms wrap around me from behind and I shiver at the temperature difference. "It's okay baby, we both been through so much. I don't blame you, it was a shocking moment. Plus I know you always jumped to conclusions-" "I do not!" I interupted and he pinched my side, causing me to yelp. 

"Okay so I maybe do..just a teesny bit." I mumble and he chuckled, kissing the spot where he pinched me, "and you have a temper but I love that about you. My lil' firecracker." I laugh and look out the window, leaning my head on his shoulder "so...where do we go now?" His palm rubbed up and down my back, "wherever you want love. As long as we're together I don't care where we go. I want to make up for lost time with you, I won't leave you for anything." 

I chuckle, "lets go wherever fate takes us then." He chuckled and buried his face in my hair, kissing the top of my head, "where you go, I follow baby." 

We were back together now and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

so how'd you guys enjoy the chapter? was it good?
