Uncover ~ Smoker x Reader

Stories and Secrets

    The night was chilly and crisp, the crunch of leaves underfoot made you smile a bit, peering at Smoker briefly, his amber eyes always scanning around. "Always on the lookout hmm?" You ask with a small smile, kicking up a few leaves that had fallen in a pile on the ground.

"Maybe I'm over cautious..." He shrugs peering at you. "You doing alright? Your leg bothering you?"

"I'm okay." You hum, looking down at your leg. "Not bothering me nearly as much as it was earlier."

"Good..." He looks ahead again. "It was a night like this when I first met a monster..." He breathes randomly.

"Really?" You ask, peering up at him. "What was it?"

"He was vampire, standing over some scared kid... His eyes were glowing red, even through those sunglasses he wore... I tried to take him down, but he was too strong, then again I was... Fifteen? Anyway, he broke three of my ribs with just the flick of his hand..." He touches his side. "I saved the kid but, neither of us were the same after... And later, I found out, he had been bitten."

"Oh no..." You frown, eyes saddening as you look at him. "Are the legends true. That once you're bitten you become one of them?"

"Yeah... It's weird though, he didn't act any different, he just didn't like eating most foods, and got badly sunburnt. Then, one night, he just disappeared... We had been put in the same psych ward because no one believed us, so I don't blame him for leaving."

"Oh wow. Poor kid..." You murmur, kicking up some more leaves. "Do you think he is still around somewhere?"

"I think he's fine, it's weird, but sometimes I think I spot him... But he's not the same age like you think he would be." He tilts his head.

"Really? So he kept aging even after he was bitten?" You ask, looking at him again.

"I think so... Maybe... It's not all as we thought." He shrugs, "I just hope he's not like the monster that changed him..." His fingers graze the blade on his hip.

"I don't think he would be. Not that I know him, but it seems that he spent quite a bit of time with you and I don't think he would have ended up badly after that." He pauses, cheeks darkening slightly as he looks at you.

"Heh... Think so?"

"Mhmm. He is probably a great guy...vampire...you know what I mean." You laugh. He smiles at that.

"You're pretty great yourself," he breathes looking ahead.

"Well, thank you for thinking so." You hum, a light blush covering your cheeks. "Probably one of the first."

"Yeah well, I don't think they've seen you jump into siren infested water to help me out... So they missed out on that." He pats your shoulder thoughtfully.

"Very true. I was a total badass and everyone missed it." You laugh snapping your fingers. "Darn, looks like I'll have to do some other crazy stunt."

"Please don't, that was surprising enough." He chuckles lowly, touching his shoulder to yours.

"No promises. I'm full of surprises." You say, grinning at him.

"I don't doubt it." He rumbles. Something catches your ear then, it sounded like a cry for help. Stopping, you tilt your head in the direction of the voice.

"Hey, do you hear that?" You ask, your eyes going to Smoker. He pauses, looking toward the direction as it sounds again.

"Sounds like a child..." He frowns lightly.
