My Tomato Child (Nathanael X Reader)

Chapter 3

(Y/N)'s POV

It's 3 PM. I just got home from school. I watch Netflix on my couch, in my living room. I am eating chips nonstop. I wait patiently for my tomato child to come over. My dad is on a special business trip back at (your hometown) and will be gone for a month. So, I basically have the whole house to myself. And honestly, it was kinda lonely. Thankfully, my dad left $500. He didn't want me starving to death here. I missed him and I hope he comes home safely. I fall asleep. About what I think is a hour or so, I am awakened by my doorbell. I lazily get up from my comfortable position on the couch and open the door. I am met with those soothing teal eyes I am so used to.

"Hey (Y/N)!" Nath gave me a tight hug. I hug him back. He comes in, putting his stuff down on the couch.

"You ready for an awesome night?" I put my hands on my hips.

"Yeah!"

"Ok, you wanna take our nightly inspiration walk first?" I took out my sketch pad and a pencil.

"Of course!" It's nice to see him, not shy. He grabs his sketchpad and a pencil from his backpack.

"Let's go!" We walk outside, starting our journey to the city. Yes, I lived in one of the suburbs of Paris, Banlieue. (Its legitimately a place XD)

"My tomato child, look at that." I pointed to the sunset above Paris. We are on the top of the Eiffel Tower, looking down at our beautiful city below. 

"It's so beautiful." I sighed in awe, leaning a little closer to the ledge.

Nath's POV

"It's so beautiful." (Y/N) sighed in awe, leaning a little closer to the ledge. I looked out to the spectacular view. I want to say, 'Not as beautiful as you.' really badly. But I knew she wouldn't feel the same way.

"I know right." I mentally scolded at myself. I started to draw the breathtaking sunset, or so I thought. As I kept drawing, I noticed something. I was drawing a person. I kept drawing, eager to see what my mind was trying to tell me. When I was done, it was a girl. It was (Y/N). She was doing a closed eyes peace sign. (Pic above) I blushed a dark red, and quickly flipped to another page before she could notice. She was silently drawing the actual sunset. It looked so realistic. Adrien was right, she did have some amazing talent. I started to draw the sunset as well, making sure it actually was a sunset. It turned out pretty good. I moved a little bit of hair out of my eyesight.

"God, I keep forgetting to bring a freaking jacket." She huddles her arms around her body. Without thinking, I put my jacket over her. She looks at me and smiles.

"Thanks, my tomato child. I'm so lucky to have a best friend like you!" She hugs me on my side. Those words, 'best friend' sting me a little. I honestly want to be more than friends, but I know it's not the right time. Since, she's going on a date with Adrien Agreste tomorrow night.

"Yeah, no problem." I tried to hide the hint of sadness in my voice. I guess it worked.

"Wanna head back to my place? It's getting pretty dark out." She gestured toward the elevator. (Is there even an elevator? XD)

"Sure."

Time Skip

I came out of the bathroom. I had just finished cleaning up. I had a normal white t shirt and shorts. (Y/N) was wearing a tank top and also shorts. I took out my (Star Wars) sleeping bag and placed it on the floor.

"Before we go to sleep, can you please give me advice on what I should do about my date with Adrien tomorrow?" She took a seat next to me.

"Well, if you don't like the guy, just let him down easy." I lie down on her carpet floor.

"Do you think he'll be disappointed? I don't want people thinking that I'm like Chloe." She smirked and giggles a little. Oh yeah. I forgot that I told Marinette that she was like Chloe. I guess that's why she doesn't suspect that I like her. Man, I suck at love. You get akumatized once, and you get labeled for life!

"Of course he will, but you could always try to hook him up with another girl." I suggest. I start to feel a little bit sleepy.

"Ok, I'll do that. Thanks my tomato child." She hugged me for the third time today. I savored it.

"No prob bob."

"Good night." She patted me on the head and crawled into her bed.

Time Skip

I awoke to a loud 'thump' noise. And felt a body beside me. I looked, and it was (Y/N). I guess she rolled off her bed. Again. She does this on occasions when her mind knows that there is someone else in the room. I checked my phone carefully, trying not to wake her up. '2 AM' it read. I groaned internally and tried my best to go back to sleep. As I was trying to, (Y/N) snuggled to me, locking her arms with mine. I blushed to the color of my school shirt. (If you look at him during episodes, he wears red) I tried again to go back to sleep, dreaming of (Y/N).
