a poor woman's tale offendermanXreader

is this a dream?

Ugh......... my head hurts.... I remember what happened and jolt up, noticing I'm on Janayas doorstep. It's about 8 o'clock I think. I stand up and knock on the door, Janaya greeting me with a smile. "Here for alex?" Shes asks. I nod and he walks out with tears in his eyes. I hug him and ask "What's wrong?". He hugs back and says "I missed you!". I pick him up and thank Janaya before walking away. I set him down after a few blocks and say "Are you hungry?". He nods and we walk to the store, buying a burrito for him and nothing for me. We're officially out of cash...... "Aren't you going to eat?" He asks as he digs in to his burrito. I laugh. "Why would I? Someone gave me a burger last night and I'm still stuffed" lying to him hurts me but it's for him. He laughs and starts to eat again. "So Janaya said I could go over there and hangout anytime since we don't have a house" Alex says as he finishes. Should I try to talk to offender? Will that help us.... or hurt us? No, he's nice and I know it! There is just no way he's the cause of the dissapearances! "Do you want to go over there while I have a job interview?" I ask. He frowns but nods, his eyes sad and cold. "Don't be sad! Look I'll buy you an icecream when we you get back, ok?" "....only if you get one too". He's.....worried about me? I smile. "Deal". We walk back to Janayas and she happily takes care of him for free knowing he won't eat otherwise. I take a deep breath after the door closes and walk to the forest where I normally meet my monstrous angel. "Hello?" I ask as I look everywhere. He isn't here...... my camera is gone so I wouldn't be able to take a picture of him anyway. "Hello (y/n)~" he purrs from behind me, making me spin around quickly. "Oh, it's you! Don't scare me like that!"  I laugh at how I was so frightened. "So I see you've come back. The news report of a monster must've killed you when you thought it was me~" he hums with a grin. He knows that? I'll just.....pretend he doesn't stalk me. "Well aren't you clever" I smile. He chuckles and says "So are you here for money" "no, I'm here to talk". He seems surprised by my answer. "But you live in pover-" "as long as I can feed Alex I'm ok". He frowns. "But you won't be able to eat" he says sadly. I laugh at the thought. "I ate yesterday! Trust Me, I can go a while without eating" I joke. He frowns. "This simply won't do! Here, take thi-" he attempts to give me another 20 but I decline it, hiding my hands behind my back. "(Y/n) take the bill" he growls. I shake my head. I'm not going to force this person to pay for my needs, it's my fault we didn't save money when we could've and it's my responsibility to feed Alex and hopefully myself, sometimes. "Take the bill" he growls, getting agitated quickly. "I'm sorry but it's my fault of I don't eat, not yours" I state simply. He sighs. "Im not allowing this, (y/n). How about I hire you and then pay you for what you do, a job ok?". Did he just offer me a job?! I would love a job, a steady way for me to make money and feed Alex AND get him into school! It'd be beautiful! "I would love a job!! What would it be? Cleaning, babysitting, housesitting?" I sound a little too excited. "Housesitting, actually. I'll need you to watch over my mansion while I, and everyone in it, are at a gathering" he says as he smiles again. M-mansion?!?! "A mansion...? You have a mansion?!" I ask. He chuckles. "Of course. Would you like to see it before you babysit it?" He offers. I smile and say "yes!" Excitedly. He grabs my shoulders and the world starts to spin, I can only see him Clearly. I close my eyes and after a while he asks "Are you alright?". I open my eyes to see a beautiful mansion, or the inside of one atleast. He let's go and I spin around, looking at the room. It appears to be a living room and it's huge.  "So I'll need you to house sit this tonight, alone preferably. So you'll have to leave Alex at a babysitters a-" "How do you know Alex?" I ask, interrupting him. "I've seen your resumes for other jobs, (y/n)" he says before returning to his original statement. I can't leave Alex again, he'll be devastated! I can't do this.....is it worth it? I know this will be for the greater good but....... I can't leave Alex without telling him or Atleast explaining a little. "....ok...but I need to tell Alex he has to stay with Janaya for the night...he's going to hate me...." I say sadly. He chuckles. "Isn't this all for alex? He wouldn't mind if it was to get you guys more happiness". He makes a point...... "ok....how do I get to janayas?" I ask. He again grabs my shoulders and the room starts to spin, I decide to close my eyes again. When I open them offender is gone and I'm in front of Janayas house. I take a deep breath and knock, afraid to tell Alex. Please understand..... "hello!" Janaya greets as she opens the door. I sigh. "Can you watch Alex for tonight? I have a job and....yeah.." I say, hoping she'll say yes. She smiles. "Sure! Alex, your sister is here" Alex runs up to the door and I sigh. "Alex, I have a job and you'll have to stay with Janaya tonight, ok?" He frowns. "But......ok...love you, sista, bye!" He tries to act cheerful at the end but fails. I smile and hug him and wait for him to go back inside before leaving. I walk all the way back to offenders meeting spot and wait for him to show up. "Offender? Where are you?" I call out. He appears in front of me and I scream, him laughing at my fear. "So your ready for the job?" He asks as he slows his laughter. "Yep!" I chirp. He teleports us to his mansion and says "I'm late! Ok don't do anything stupid, the fridge is open bye!" Before teleporting away. I sigh and sit on the couch politely, getting comfortable after a while. I turn on the tv and realize I've never used a tv remote. The power button was obvious but......I'm stuck watching something called 'magic Mike'. Offender must like magic sho- AHHHHHH AHHHHHH AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I turn off the tv and rock back and forth. He said more people live here, I blame them. But WHY?!? I stop rocking and start looking for the heavenly kitchen he spoke about. It's huge! All the cupboards have food or glasses and the fridge gives cold water! This place is magical! I grab an orange to make sure I won't indent his artwork and eat it. It tastes so good! I haven't had one in......15 years....? Wow.....I had one when I was 2, that's it. Crazy.... I'll ask offender if I can take one for alex, he's never had one. It'll be good for him. I toss the peel away in the trash and notice a box labelled "condoms" in there. Wonder what those are. I walk back to the couch and sit back dowm, satisfied with my snack. Hopefully offender won't mind, he told me the fridge is open. Oh well, he seems too nice to freak out about an orange. "Stupid offender, taking my game...fucking stupid..." is that a boys voice? I'm not necessarily a 'flirty' person because I'm always single. I hide under a pillow, praying it covers me. "Uhhhhhhhh are you ok?" He asks. I remove my pillow to see a short boy with blond hair and...a dress? His eyes are black with red pupils. I feel veeeerry unnerved. "H-hi" I stutter. He chuckles. "Are you here because of offender?" He asks. I nod. "Wow, he found a hottie this time" he walks into the kitchen and grabs a strange fruit...or vegetable....it's yellow and kind of oval-y. He walks over and sits next to me, breaking the fruits peel. "What kind of orange is that?" I ask. He gives me an akward glance. "Orange...? This is a lemon" he says slowly. I blush, feeling embarrassed. "A-are you retarded?" He asks. "No, I just never learned. I....live in a box....." I say, even more embarrassed. "Do you want to try a lemon?" He asks. I nod and he hands me the lemon. I take a bite out of the peeled area- S-SOUR!!!!!! I drop it and cover my mouth as he laughs. "You did this!" I hiss as I try to get the taste out. After a while it stops being sour and he stops laughing. "Weren't you here for a game?" I ask. He remembers and sprints off, returning with...majoras mask? What's that....? "Don't ask" he walks out of the house saying "my names ben, by the way". Ben. Cool name. I lay down on the couch and check the clock. It's already 9 o'clock? I doze off into a light sleep
