Legends of Irene (Garroth x Reader) | Aphmau Fanfiction| UNDER IMMENSE EDITING

"She's Cute When She Sleeps"

A/n: I had to update. I just felt bad... Oh! I have also updated my Legends of Irene Origins book. Let's try to reach 1k reads on this book by next week. If so, expect some heated times with Garroth. *insert lenny face*

Ruby's P.O.V:

"H-how is she doing?" I asked as I entered the semi-lighted room. Laurance glanced up at me before shooting a warm smile in my direction.

"Hey. She's doing fine, I guess. She hasn't woken up though." I nodded my head at his reply. I sat down on the edge of the bed where Kat lay. She slept soundly as her chest rose when she inhaled, and retreated when she exhaled.

Laurance chuckled and ran a hand through his hair. I looked at him curiously.

"What is it?" I asked. Laurance just shook his. "I-It's nothing! Maybe I've just been staring at her too much," he muttered. He paused before speaking again.

"It's just, Katrina, she's cute when she sleeps. I don't know. Maybe I'm being ridiculous." My eyes widened as I gasped.

"Or maybe," I pried, "you're just falling in love!" Laurance shook his head.

"No. I'm in love with Aphmau. At least, I'm pretty sure of it." I rolled my eyes.

"You know, maybe you should just get to know Katrina more so you can determine whether you like her or not. It doesn't hurt to give it a try," I suggested. Laurance seemed to be in thought for a moment.

"Maybe," he replied. I slumped my shoulders forward. This was not going according to plan- not that I had any plan- but either way, it wasn't working.

"Okay," I concluded; ending the conversation in the process. There was an awkward silence in the room. I turned to look at Laurance.

"Can I trust you with one of my problems? I mean, if it isn't too much of a burden," I questioned nervously. Laurance turned to look at me.

"Well, sure. If you're comfortable talking about it." I took a deep breath in before speaking.

"So, I like this guy. I-I've been trying to hide my crush for him ever since Kat and I started to live in Phoenix Drop. Although, I haven't even spoken to him that much. I just see him once or twice a week and, that's it." I turned to Laurance again for his reaction. He leaned back in his chair.

"Okay. Why don't you try talking to him?" he asked. I shook my head and hid my face in my hands.

"Well, I'm nervous to talk to him for start, and he isn't even on this expedition with us," I replied, my voice muffled from my hands. Laurance sighed.

"Would you mind telling me who this person is? In case I know the person, I wouldn't mind helping you," Laurance reasoned. I pondered for a second. I then smirked.

"Maybe," I replied. Laurance deadpanned.

"Are you seriously doing this?" he asked. I shrugged. "Maybe," I repeated. Laurance frowned.

"I only used the word 'maybe' once when I responded to you!" I shrugged again.

"Oh well." Laurance smirked and shook his head.

"Are you forcing me to date your sister?"

"It isn't forcing. You don't necessarily need to know who I have a crush on," I retorted.

"But I want to know!" he replied. I shrugged again.

"Then you're forcing yourself." Laurance sighed in defeat. At that very moment, (Y/n) entered the room.

"Hey guys. How's Kat doing?" she asked. I nodded.

"She's fine. I came to watch her with Laurance." (Y/n) eyed me suspiciously.

"And, is everything okay? I heard arguing from our room." Laurance shook his head.

"Nope. Nothing's wrong." He quickly changed the subject. "So you and Garroth eh? Sharing a room as well? Careful over there. Wouldn't want little Garroth's and little (Y/n)'s running around the island," Laurance laughed. (Y/n) narrowed her eyes on Laurance. She immediately looked towards me. I tried my best to contain my laughter, but failed miserably.

"You guys better watch it," she threatened before shutting the door. Laurance and I bursted into a fit of laughter.

"Nice one!" I exclaimed. We were so busy laughing, we almost didn't hear the small voice that called out to us.

"Guys? What happened?" I quickly turned to where Kat lay. I held one of her hands in mine.

"Kat? Oh, thank Irene you're okay!" I cried. Laurance stood up.

"I'll go get Aphmau and (Y/n)," he said before leaving.
