Aris Jones X Reader One Shots

Flirting

If I have to see one more second of this I’ll actually kill myself. I get it. Aris “doesn't have his memories” so he can't know about his girlfriend, me. And yes. He so very clearly does not want anybody to flirt with him, but I want to pull my hair out whenever it happens.

“Just another week or two, and you’ll see him again. I know it feels like forever, but it won't be,”Teresa spoke, lightly patting my back.

“I know. I just hate it. I've never had to be,”I trailed off.

“Jealous?”She finished for me.

“Yeah. Jealous,”I sighed.

“Well, you can talk him in just a few hours when we head to bed. I’m sure he’ll tell you all about how much he misses you,”She kind of teased, though her words were definitely truthful.

“Yep. Glad to know telekinesis wasn't completely useless,”I shrugged.

“It wasn't useless at all.”

“It is when I can't even use it during the day so I don't catch him off guard. Stupid Chancellor and her dumb rules.”

“Don't let her hear you say that.”

“I know, I know. I’ll make sure she doesn't,”I sighed.

“Good. Now we have to get back to watching the Mazes.”

Sighing again, I rested my chin on my hand as I gazed at the screen, Aris being the only thing I could focus on. His sweet face, and dark hair, and olive skin, and gentle eyes. All of him.

“The entire Maze. Not just him,”Thomas said from the other side of the room. Letting out a pathetic groan, I glared at the ceiling before reluctantly pulling my attention away from him.

I was not going to sleep. I refuse to even shut my eyes until I talk to him. I have to stay awake and finally have a conversation with my love. If not, I’ll actually go insane.

Hey. Are you awake?

I could sense the hint of worry in his voice, but I didn't question it for now. I’m sure I would learn what it was about when he spoke.

Yeah. I was waiting for you.

You could have reached out.

I didn't know if you were sleeping.

Then, you just wake me up.

No. I don't want to do that.

You're ridiculous sometimes.

I could just hear in the tone that he was rolling his eyes, not understanding why I possibly wouldn't want to keep him awake.

How’s it going in there?

Not the worst. It’d be better if it had you.

One week in a Maze and you already miss me?

I missed you on day one.

Turning on my side, I couldn't help but smile as I pulled the blankets closer to my body, just relieved this was almost over.

I miss you too. It drives me crazy to just watch you through a screen.

It's not forever though. When I see you again I’ll hug you as tightly as possible and never let go.

Yeah. It’ll be nice.

Yeah. I just wish the week would hurry up already. It feels like forever.

That's not even an exaggeration. I just want to see you already. Hold you tight, and kiss you, and stare at you.

Soon. I promise.

I know. In a week, you're all mine.

I’m all yours right now though. Just because I can't be right next to you doesn't mean I love you any less.

No?

Not at all. You'll always be my entire world.

I really don't have anything to worry about. Even though the flirting drives me up the wall, it will always be one sided. That's just a fact of life.
