Find Me (Art x Fem!Reader)

Chapter 23: No leads.

Your alarm woke you up as always, making you remember you had to work with a bunch of idiots on crime cases where they begged you to find a lead. 

They couldn't do a thing by themselves. If you could just get rid of them... 

It wasn't worth your time, as enjoyable as that would be. 

You rubbed your eyes and looked to your side. Art wasn't there. He had moved before you. 

You didn't worry too much. You trusted him. 

You decided to get out of bed and start getting ready, putting on your usual work clothes and your badge. 

You had more than once met with a surprise when walking downstairs... One you found adorable and funny. 

Walking into your kitchen and seeing a clown cooking or washing dishes was a really fun sight. 

And he was doing that just now. A plate of pancakes and a glass of juice was served on the table for you to enjoy. 

He smiled at you and pointed at the plate, drying the last one of the dishes and taking the seat in front of yours. 

You sat down, enjoying the breakfast he made for you. For your luck, it was delicious and the meal didn't include any blood or organs this time, which could be a possibility considering Art himself sometimes ate part of his victims for fun. 

He tapped his fingers on the table, looking elsewhere as you ate. He seemed a little bored. Even though you could understand him, sometimes conversations were an issue. 

You looked around and saw your computer. 

-"Would you like to check some recent accidents and cases?" You asked him. He turned to look at you, nodding happily at your suggestion. 

You knew him too well. 

You stood up to grab your computer and took it to the table. You opened up a few files of some cases you had solved recently, showing Art the pictures of the crime scene and telling him how it happened. You also showed him some pictures of recent accidents. Those sometimes arrived at your hands every now and then when figuring out what happened was hard. 

Art pointed and laughed every time. He truly enjoyed seeing tragedies like those. You giggled along side him as well. 

Time passed way too quickly when you were having such fun with him. 

You then noticed the time, realizing you were starting to be a little late for work. You stuffed the rest of your breakfast into your mouth and gathered your things, getting ready to head out. 

Art seemed a little upset the fun got interrupted. You looked at him and smiled. 

-"I'll get my hands on some more of those, okay? We'll check them together once I'm back." You said. Your words seemed to cheer him up a little bit. 

He walked towards you, his hand gently touching your cheek, caressing it and pinching it lightly. 

His hand then moved to your chin, making you look into his eyes. He started moving closer. 

It almost seemed like he was going to kiss you... But then he stopped, close to your lips. 

Art moved away and silently laughed at your shock expression. He was messing with you just for fun. 

You huffed in response, shaking your head in disapproval. 

A monster played with others. You weren't completely free of that just for hanging out with him and sharing his humor.
