What are the Chances? Kankri x Reader ~Completed~

-Part 8-

  You woke up from your peaceful sleep once again, rolling over and slamming the palm of your hand down for what definitely was the millionth time on your alarm clock. Today marked the very start of your winter break and already you didn't feel like getting out of bed. It's warm here, why not just stay where it's warm? 

  When you finally did decide to leave the warmth and comfort of your bed, you noticed Roxy's absence. You were concerned for her safety until you found a note on the counter explaining that she had left to hang out with Jake and Dirk. You wish you had made plans to do something today. 

  Now that you thought about it, Kankri had asked earlier if you would meet him again at the library? The trolls you had met last time you were over at his place had been asking about you more and more as the holiday season neared and the library was your go to meeting place so you both could walk there together and spend the walk talking to each other before things get too hectic and you get swept away by Porrim or Latula to get a makeover or watch a new trick Latula had learnt. You dropped Kankri a text letting him know you had decided you'd like to go since you had left him with an: "I'll text you in the morning, some days I'm just too tired to want to go anywhere and I never know when one of those days will be," text when he asked. 

  You already changed into some nice warm and 'non triggering' clothing to suit the weather, that was getting increasingly cold as the weeks went on. You loved the cold and the winter because it gave you an excuse to wear scarves and sweaters. 

  You pushed the library doors open and smiled at the feeling of hot air from the heaters blowing towards you, the smell of old and new books making nostalgia kick in. Kankri was seated at a table waiting patiently for you to arrive. He stood up and walked over to you once he saw you. 

  You gave Kankri a soft smile as he held the door open for you to walk out and thanked him as you both reached the footpath again. He couldn't help but watch you out of the corner of his eyes, you looked absolutely stunning just like you did every day. He smiled as he watched the air leaving your mouth and nose and making you look like a dragon as it showed in the cold air. 

  Surprisingly, he has been 'keeping his co+o+l' as Porrim would say since he met you. Usually he'd rant on for hours about how everything is a potential trigger to someone out there in the world, but lately he hasn't spoken a word about triggers since he started talking to you. Something was definitely up with him although you didn't really notice it considering this was the Kankri you'd always known. The trolls know he's whipped for you. 

  Kankri knocked on the door softly as you finally reached the driveway of the house. You smiled as you felt the deja vu creep up on you. It was just like the first time you came here except now you could smell the scent of gingerbread from somewhere inside the house. Mituna opened the door excitedly and led both you and Kankri inside hastily. 

  As you finally made it into the living room you saw the trolls were all sitting around in a large circle. Some trolls sat on couches while others sat on the ground. Meulin waved to you and you walked over to join her and sit beside her. Kankri walked to a spot between Mituna and Cronus. Porrim was seated fashionably on one of the couches. She began to explain how the group was going to play a game of the human truth or dare. 

  "So+, who+ wo+uld like to+ go+ first."

  A troll with red tipped hair raised his hand. He looked like he'd just walked right out of a punk rock concert, except he had giant brown wings attached to his back and long horns that could definitely poke an eye or two out if you weren't careful. Porrim rolled her eyes, it was obvious that this particular troll was known for this behaviour. Porrim asked if anyone else wanted to do a truth or dare but no one volunteered so she had no choice but to let the Mohawk dude go first.
