Monster (Monster Tom X Reader)*ON HOLD**

What are you afraid of?

Your eyes opened slowly, you being in your apartment.
"So it was a dream." You sighed in relief, you sitting upright. You stretched, the familiar burning sensation on your arm coming back. Right where the mark was. That meant-
"Hey (y/n). Where's your booze?" Tom asked, he leaning against your bedroom doorframe.
"Tom?! What the hell? How'd you get in?"
"The spare key You gave me."
"I gave it to Edd. Not you."
"Well whatever. Do you have Smirnoff?"
"No." You crossed your arms.
"Lame." He scoffed, walking off. You followed him to the kitchen, where he was searching through your cabinets for the vodka you didn't have.
"Why are you here?"
"Tord's passed out and Edd and Matt are busy so I came here."
"Back up. What?"
"Geez you are really slow. Tord's asleep. Edd and Matt... Well, they're busy."
"Busy with what?"
"I don't know. Besides, I found what I was looking for." He waved a bottle of scotch around.
"Tom! That's for special occasions. Plus, it's too early for drinking."
"It's never to early. C'mon, (y/n). It's your booze."
"Yeah It's mine. Gimme." You tried to grab it, but he pulled it out of your reach.
"Are you playing keep away?"
"Maybe." He smirked. You tried to grab it again, but he moved it again.
"Damnit, Tom." You growled, reaching for it yet again. This time he let you grab it, but grabbed your arm in return to pull you to him. Your bodies touched, a wave of heat passing through you. Your face turned pink. After the dream you had, you couldn't face Tom like... This.
"(y/n)..." His voice dropped to a hushed whisper.
"Yes?" You asked tentatively.
"What are you afraid of?" He asked in return, staring up at you with his endless black eyes. You wanted to say that you were afraid of him. Afraid of the beast inside of him. But that would hurt him, break his heart. So you went with your second fear.
"I- I'm afraid of being alone." You sighed, looking away from him. You placed the scotch on the counter, now putting your hands on Tom's chest. He didn't mind, he only wrapped his hands around your wrists.
"What about you?" You asked him.
"In all honesty, I'm afraid of the monster inside of me. Afraid it'll get out of control and hurt you."
"But Tom, you can control it."
"No I can't."
"I'll help you then." You told him, he looking up at you.
"You know you can get hurt."
"I know. But I don't care. You marked me for a reason, Tom."
"That was-" but he faltered and looked away quickly.
"Tom?" You asked, putting a hand on his cheek. He slowly turned back to face you. His hand covered yours, bringing you closer. Then, out of nowhere, your lips met his. Shock filled your mind as you pulled away, blushing.
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to kiss you, it just kinda-" you began to say frantically, but Tom only covered your lips with his, silencing you. You melted into the kiss this time, forgetting about the scotch.
*****************************************
Sooooo Sorry that this took FOREVER to write, writers block was kicking me in the ass. So I'm back on track with this story, and I won't leave you guys hanging again
This is also a bit longer than the other chapters, so I might make these next few long. Idk.
Also, yay! You guys kissed! For real this time. The 5th chapter is a dream/ premonition, for those who are all like Wtf? I promise it'll all get cleared up soon. Plus, this fanfic will probably be as long as stuck in the middle (which will be getting a rewrite later)
So thanks for your support and love!
Author-sama, Out!
