Dirk Strider x Sad!Reader Oneshot

                  

__f/n__ = First name

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You sat alone, gazing at the endless array of clouds laid out in the sky before you. It was peaceful and quiet the only sound came from the leaves rustling in the tree tops above. But alas, that peace did not last for someone had abruptly taken up the space to your right. It was none other than the cool dude, Dirk Strider that had interrupted your peaceful thoughts your mind now going back to sad ones.

"Hey there, I was just takin' a walk when I saw you over here lookin' all lonely and stuff so I thought I'd come and see what's up." He gave you that classic Strider smirk.

Your head hung low, eyes scanning the ground beneath you with the short grass gently swaying in the breeze. When you gave no answer his expression softened, placing a re-assuring hand on your shoulder. You and the eldest Strider brother had been best friends for quite a while now and did almost everything together, but obviously you had grown quite attached to this handsome young, anime-loving blonde. You two trusted each other more than anything and would always be there in any case of need.

"Hey come on ___f/n____, what's got you down in the dumps? You're normally the most joyful person around." With his free hand he gently placed his thumb and index finger on your chin, slowly bringing your face up to look at him.

As you gazed up at him you noticed his shades weren't covering his eyes like usual, sure you've seen his eyes before but every time you see them your heart instantly melts. A sweet smile was plastered on his face and his fiery orange orbs scanned your features, longing for an answer. You tore your head from his grasp and turned away, shaking your head and incoherently mumbling. Dirk obviously did not appreciate this answer because you were suddenly being pinned to the ground amongst the green grass and began to be tickled to death.

"D-dirk! S-s-sTOp IT!" you managed you shout whilst trying to wriggle out of his dastardly grip, trying your hardest not to laugh.

"Not until you tell me what's bothering you." He giggled, his smirk suddenly returning.

A smile began to force its way upon your lips and you couldn't help but let out a small giggle.

"A-alright, alright. Just p-please stop."

His hands receded from your sides and came to rest on the grass, but he still remained on top of you straddling your waist and making himself very comfortable there.

"And, could you possibly get off me?" you glared at him but he responded with a shake of the head and a simple 'Nope'.

Sighing loudly you crossed your arms and gazed into his wonderful eyes, his already being locked to yours. They were filled with curiosity as he waited patiently through the short silence for a response.

You gulped, "You wanna know what's wrong, fine I'll tell you what's wrong. Everything, that's right literally everything. I hate this feeling of not being loved even though I know I'm loved by many. I hate being an embarrassment to myself all because I have no confidence. Every day I fear failure, fear being alone, I FEAR EVERYTHING! PEOPLE SAY IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD EVEN MY PARENTS TELL ME THAT, BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT I DIDN'T WANT TO BE SUCH AN INTROVERT BUT I CAN'T HELP IT. EVERY TIME I TRY TO CONQUER IT I END UP FALLING BACK TWO MORE SPACES. IT'S JUST NOT FAIR WHY DOES LIFE HAVE TO BE SO HARD!"

Tears flooded your eyes and your throat was dry from your shouting, but at least you got everything off your chest, except Dirk of course. He was gazing down at you with pain eminent in his expression, a few tears threating to fall from his eyes but he still held a sweet, loving smile. A soft hand came to rest against your cheek, his thumb wiping a few of your tears away.

"No one said life was meant to be easy ____f/n____. Only the strongest make it in this world, that's why we're here." He began to slowly lean down, inching closer to your face. Just as your noses were nearly touching he stopped moving closer.

"Sure, alone we may be weak but when we're together we become one strong being. We have the capability to accomplish any task, a raging wild fire through a forest. So, I promise you this, no matter where you are or whatever you do. I will always be by your side."

So many tears had fallen from your eyes and before you could respond he pressed his lips passionately against yours. At first it caught you by surprise, not expecting your best friend/crush to kiss you but you shut your eyes and began to melt into the kiss. Your lips moulded perfectly together, like they were telling you it was meant to be. When you two broke the kiss for air you had the biggest grin on your face and he was back at it again with that Strider smirk of his. You spent the rest of the day laying on the grass, side by side with hands intertwined creating weird and random animals from the clouds together. The longing in your heart was finally gone and now you could call that beautiful Strider kid 'Yours'.
