Uncover ~ Smoker x Reader

Surprise Surprise

You wake up the next morning, smiling a little when you see that Smoker was still asleep in his bed. Sitting up, you stretch lightly with a small yawn. Just one more town to go...Hopefully everything would go well and it wouldn't take too much longer to reach the next one. He rolls over, grumbling in his sleep and drawing your gaze again. You smile, getting out of bed and going to sit down next to him, watching him sleep. He looked so much calmer when he was asleep, you didn't want to wake him up. He hums hand randomly finding your leg before sleepily moving closer and nuzzling it. You blush brightly, blinking at him in shock. Reaching out, you touch his shoulder, shaking him lightly. "Um, Smoker. Time to wake up." He grumbles, rolling over.

"Sleeping in...." You giggle, leaning over him with a smile.

"Okay. If you say so." You hum, getting up and going to the bathroom to change quickly. By the time you come back out, he's sitting up with a sleepy but rather cute scowl on his face, eyes on his blanket unfocused.

"You could have slept longer." You hum, folding your clothes and tucking them in your bag before turning to give him a small smile. He mumbles something you can't really understand as he looks around scratching his chin still unfocused. You giggle, going to sit at the foot of his bed. "Hellloooo~ Are you in there?" You hum, leaning forward to look at him. He blinks meeting your gaze, before pulling you into a warm hug.

"Warm..." He grumbles, cheek rubbing your shoulder slightly. You blush again, heart thudding in your chest. What was this reaction...

"You're...really cute when you're sleepy." You mumble, eyes going to anything but him. He blinks a few times before suddenly releasing you.

"Sorry." He says awkwardly.

"It's okay." You laugh, shaking your head slightly. "Did you sleep alright?"

"I guess," He rubs his neck and gets out of bed before going to retrieve a shirt from his bag with a yawn. "I need to get my clothes cleaned..." He mutters.

"We both do." You say, standing and stretching a bit. "How much farther to the next town? I know the orphanage has a laundry room they would let us use. Or we can find a laundromat around town if you'd like to do that instead."

"Should take about a day, it'll be fine to wait." He says, pulling on a tank top before getting ready to leave.

"Okay." You nod, checking over your bag before picking it up. "Ready to head out?"

"I am if you are." He hums.

"Yeah. Let's go." You smile, going to the front desk to turn in your room key. The two of you left the inn, grabbing a quick breakfast and eating while you walked. Smoker was right about the travel time, the lights of the next town coming into view late that evening. You sigh, the familiar streets bringing back memories. "Well, it looks like we made it."

"Yeah, feeling some relief? It's almost over." He rumbles

"Relief..." You frown a little, turning down the street that the orphanage was on. "Yeah I guess so. I'm ready for some answers." He frowns lightly, touching your shoulder.

"Whatever you find out, I'm still here." He breathes. You look up at him with a small smile.

"Okay." Walking up to the orphanage you tilt your head at a small fluffy dog that was laying on the porch. "You're new." You hum, walking up the steps. The dog flinched awake, looking around almost confused before its eyes land on you. "Hi little guy! You're so cute!" You smile as he come over sniffing your leg. The dog freezes before starting to yip excitedly, jumping up on your leg. "Woah hi!" You laugh.
