Meet me at Dawn (Dottore/Zandik x f! Reader)

Chapter 9: Come home faster!!!

Y/n pov:

I let out a huff as I stare at my wall. It's been a few days since Zandik has been out on his expedition and I've been completely bored out of my mind! Ever since I met Zandik I would always console with him about my work and projects to make sure they were just right before I turned them in. But now without his help I feel completely stuck! I groan as before dropping my head onto my desk feeling the paper against my forehead as I hum from frustration. It was as if the gears in my head completely stopped and started rusting in my brain. As each seconds pass it feels like another year in going on without Zandik. He should be coming back in a few days since students expeditions don't take more than two weeks but that still doesn't make me feel better.

I hear my stomach grumbling yearning and screaming at me to eat I let out a defeated sigh and stand up from my seat. After standing up I stretched my back to its fullest and let out a yawn feeling completely bored out of my mind. "He must be having so much fun without me" I thought. I huff before tiredly making my way to the kitchen to find anything that could stop and groaning and growling of my stomach. I stumbled infront of the counter and stared down at the options infront of me. Crackers and old stale lemon cookies. I frown at seeing the lack of options to cure my hunger.

I let out a sigh and picked up the plain crackers and started to snack on them quietly. Standing there alone with my thoughts I tried to think of other things that weren't associated to Zandik. Like the half finished project that was due to a day or my job I would have to go to in the morning. I close my eyes thinking of how I would manage my week going on from here. Seconds pass and a minutes passed and until finally five minutes go by and I open my eyes once more my thoughts drifting away from my mind. I felt bored. Completely bored. More than I have ever felt. Which made me come to the realization.. Zandik now felt..apart of me..I've seen him so much it's as if he was attached to my life now. And without seeing him I felt alone.. feeling lost without his presence.

My cheeks flush at the thought. "How attached to him have I gotten?!..." I think with pink dusted cheeks. I couldn't help but think of all the times me and Zandik were together how close he was to me and how I was to him. We had been together so many times I hadn't realized how close he leaned to me when I spoke as if he was completely absorbing the words coming from my lips and committing my face to memory like he didn't want to let it slip between his fingers if anything were to happen. My cheeks warmed at the thought.. "No..There's no chance..Why would he like me of all people?..He has Sohreh to be by his side..." I thought with a slight from looking down at the floor. It was a nice thing to think about though.. How life would be like if our relationship blossomed to something more..

How he would hold me close and talk into my ear telling me sweet nothings as his warmth enveloped me. "That's something that would never happen..." I murmur softly out loud before setting down the bag of crackers I had in my hand at the time. I quickly turned to walk back into my bedroom sitting down at my desk once more seeing the project laid out infront of me on the smooth wooden surface. Reality hit me once more as I thought about my project. Not being a fan of this project in the slightest. I put my elbow on my desk and rested my cheek in my hand feeling the flushed skin from before.

My thoughts were still occupied by Zandik..Wondering what he was doing and if he was thinking about me too..Or if he was happy to be away from me. I frown at the thought picking up my pencil to continue my project. My mind raced until I remembered that conversation about Sohreh..that's right..he's going on a picnic with Sohreh. I try to convince myself that it was good that Zandik was possibly with the girl who was practically begging for his attention and now has completely convinced him to go on a picnic date with her due to me. I shake my head trying to get those thoughts out of myself.

"Enough! Focus y/n! This project is due in a day!" I thought mustering up the energy to keep going with my project and completely forget about uh thoughts from only a couple seconds ago. I held my pencil before pressing it against the paper and starting to write quietly.

Zandik pov:

"Sohreh.." I say as I stare down at her watching as she glances over my shoulder and looks up at me. "Oh! Zandik!" She says excitedly quickly standing up as if she was expecting something as I looked at her with a smile before I opened my mouth and started speaking. "Are you..ready for our picnic?..."
