Enoch O'Conner x Reader

Chapter 11: A Kiss?

The sun has set now so you and Enoch decide to head toward the house. You two had spent pretty much the entire day on the beach. It turns out he's actually a sweet guy. He had complimented you all day at random times. In the moments where you'd be doodling or observing the fish that dare come close, he'd be gazing at you hopelessly. When you'd turn to look his cheeks would burn red and you couldn't help but smile.

"Did you have fun," he piped up.

You giggled "yeah".

"Was it more fun when I showed up," he asked sounding cocky, but in a joking way.

You giggled once again and replied with "well of course!"

He chuckled as you two came in view of the front of the house.

"After you my lady," he told you while holding the gate open.

"Why thank you kind sir," you curtsied and walked to the door abd held it open.

"After you," you told Enoch giving a hand motion to enter.

"Why thank you madam," he bowed before stepping inside.

You followed behind him and as soon as you entered you both began to chuckle. The two of you walk together and end up passing Emma.

"It seems those two are getting close," she observed with a sly smile.

"A little too close it seems," Millard piped up from no where.

You and Enoch head downstairs to his room. He told you while at the shore that he wanted to show you what he had been working on. You accepted the invitation so here you are now.

"Watch this," he told you.

He walked to a table that had been covered with an old sheet. You followed slowly behind him as he quickly pulled it off and waited for you to stand beside him.

"Whoa. They're kinda cute," you say as you observe to little robot-like figures on the table.

It seems his style has changed to an all metal and organs kind-of-thing. (It's been a bit since seeing the movie. Sorry if that's not accurate.)

He smiled and clapped twice. With that the two robots began to battle. You jumped back because you had forgotten that Enoch's creations can come alive until they're defeated. They battled fiercely, but in the end one collapsed from being beaten.

"Damnit," Enoch shouted while slamming his fists to the table.

You instantly cocked your great in great concern. You stepped forward and placed your hands on his arm.

"Enoch, what's wrong?"

"They're supposed to stay assembled! I'm a failure! I thought I had finally gotten it."

"What? You didn't fail. Don't say that."

Enoch didn't dare look at you, for he was too embarrassed to.

"No you don't understand... I wanted to show you...I got them to both to stay alive last time... I don't know what happened this time," he said finally jerking his head to look at you.

He caught you off gaurd, but you didn't flinch. As soon as your eyes met, neither of you could say anything. He looked at your lips for a moment but jolted back up to your eyes. You gathered the hint pretty quickly. The two of you began leaning your faces slowly towards one another. You had closed your eyes as did he.

"Hey guys, it's dinner-"

Emma had intruded into Enoch's room without a knock.

"E-E-Emma!" you shout looking toward the door.

Enoch had completely turned his body in the opposite direction towards the wall.

"Oh my gosh! Where you guys about to kiss!?" Emma shouted excitedly.

You're entire face burned a deep shade of red. Before you could protest Enoch turned around and answered for the both of you.

"No! It's not like that! Y/n was just whispering something, that's all!"

"Right, then why's your faces red?" she asked while laughing.

You two looked at each other to see who would answer that.

"Look that doesn't matter. Let's just go eat," you say calming down.

"Yeah, c'mon" Enoch agrees.

You three exit the room and head to the dinning room. It's not as awkward as it was that morning. The only silent ones were Ms. Peregrine, who always observes the children, and Olive, which is unusual, but ah-well.
