Are You Mister Graves? {Percival Graves x Reader}

Chapter 14

February 14, 1922

     "Hey, Tina?" Percival says, popping his head in Tina's office.

     "Yes, Graves?" She responds as she looked up at him.

     "Have you seen, (Y/n)?" He asks. Tina thinks for a moment before remembering something.

     "I think I remember her saying she was gonna visit Eddie." Tina says, but says his name quietly at the end. Percival nods as he heads out. He had a feeling that she was visiting. After what happened not too long ago, (Y/n) has been visiting his grave. And it was pretty sad to watch. Percival buys a bouquet of blood red roses during his walk to the cemetery. He gets there and walks through the graveyard. He then finally finds (Y/n) sitting face to face with Eddie's grave on the ground. Moving pictures of her and him or just him surrounded his grave. She had her knees up to her chest as she looked at the pictures in silence. Percival sighs quietly as he made his way over to her.

     "Hey, (Y/n)." He says as he stood behind her. She looks up and sees him, giving him a small smile.

     "Hey. Are those for me?" She asks sarcastically as she pointed at the bouquet in his hand. He smirks slightly and shakes his head.

     "No. It's for Eddie." He says sitting next to her. (Y/n) lets out a small laugh.

     "Yeah, I know." She says as she puts a small box on her lap. A string was tied around it as she untied it. Percival watches her in curiosity as he placed the bouquet of roses in front of Eddie's grave. After she united it, she opened the box. It revealed a vanilla cupcake which was the size of a apple with sky blue icing and white pearled sprinkles. 

     "Why do you have a cupcake?" He asks.

     "Well, today's a special day. It's Eddie's birthday today. He'll be turning 25 today." (Y/n) says placing the box down as a plate. Percival nods. She places a candle on the cupcake and takes out her wand, "Incendio..." She says softly, the candle is lit. (Y/n) puts her wand away and sits up, her legs crossed. "Happy birthday to you..." She sang softly, the cold wind blew gently, "Happy birthday to you...! Happy birthday to Eddie..." (Y/n) could feel herself tear up before finishing, "Happy birthday... To you...! Make a wish..." She says softly as she sniffed. They both looked at the candle as the flame shook slightly. Then the wind blew it out. She sighs and bit her lips together.  

     "That was sweet..." Percival says. (Y/n) smiles slightly as she split the cupcake in half and took out two forks. She hands one to Percival which he tries to refuse.

     "Queenie told me you had a sweet tooth..." She says quietly. Percival looks at her for a moment before he sighs and takes the fork. (Y/n) couldn't tell if it was real or just the cold, but she saw his cheeks turn to a light shade of pink, hardly noticeable but only to her. She shrugs it off as they began to eat the cupcake. It was silent for a moment before (Y/n) spoke. "You know," She pauses to swallow, "Eddie's favorite flowers were roses. When we were younger, he would call me 'Rose'." (Y/n) smiles at a memory, "He said he calls me that because I'm beautiful but prickly on the outside  when it comes towards love, like a rose. I always thought it was stupid before I just shrugged it off." She continues to smile softly as Percival looked at her.

     "I can see why he would say that..." Percival says quietly as he ate another piece of cupcake with frosting on it.

     "What?" She asks looking at him. He shakes his head.

     "Nothing..." He says with a mouthful. (Y/n) smiles and giggles softly. She then sees frosting on the side of his mouth.

     "What?" He asks in confusion as he swallowed, eyebrows furrowing. She scoots closer to him and reached  a gloved hand towards his face. (Y/n) hand rests on the side of his face.

     "You just got a little frosting there..." She says quietly wiping it off with a napkin with the other hand, she was just holding his face still. (Y/n) puts the napkin down and looks at him, keeping her hand resting on the side of his face. A look of fascination on her face as she studied his face, placing both of her hands on the side of his face. Percival looks at her in confusion.

     "What are you doing?" He asks. She shrugs slightly.

     "I just still can't get over on how much you look like him." She says quietly. They both stare at each other for a moment. The cold wind blew gently as (Y/n)'s face is inches away from his. With their lips only a centimeter away from each other and their eyes about to close. Percival's hot breath trickled her lips as they were warmed up just slightly from the cold. 

     And then, their lips finally touched. Her lips placed softly on his and kissing him shyly, (Y/n) pulling his face closer to hers as Percival gently placed a hand at the back of her neck to pull her deeper into the kiss. (Y/n) could feel fireworks spark within her, she was cold when she sat at Eddie's grave alone. But with Percival kissing her, she felt all warm. She didn't want his warmth to leave. But soon they pulled away for breath. Both panting softly as their breaths can be seen as white smoke. This kiss was nothing like a full blown make out. But a simple yet such a passionate kiss. They were  once again staring at one another, eye to eye as (Y/n)'s face was red with a blush. Her eyes slightly wide at what just happened.

     "I-I... Um..." She stutters in embarrassment, "I'm sorry... I just... Um..." She started to panick slightly with the feeling she messed up badly, "I didn't mean to... I'm sorry... That was so sudden and... I-" Percival's lips cuts her off. She can't help but blush harder as her hand slid down from his face to his shoulders. He pulls away and looks at her.

     "Just be quiet. I understand completely. You didn't mean to and I don't mind. You just surprised me but the thing is... I've been waiting for um... Some time... For that." He admits quietly with a shrug. Her eyes widen. "And I understand completely if you don't feel the same way! I just wanted to let that out but you don't have to fe-" It was (Y/n)'s turn to cut him off with a kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He's surprised for a few seconds before he kisses her back. They pull away and (Y/n) hugs Percival with her arms still around his neck.

     "You have no idea how much I wanted to hear that..." She says with a smile as she buried her face in his scarf. Percival sits there, processing what was happening before he smiles softly, a real genuine smile as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

     "I'm glad we both waited..." He says softly in her ear, kissing the top of her head. The moving pictures of (Y/n) and Eddie smiled widely when they were children as they were posing for the picture. And one picture of Eddie smiling broadly, almost as if his birthday wish came true.
