Watermelon Seed { Garroth X Reader }

Chapter 17

I sit on the noisy bus with my mind races. All I could think about is the events of the night before. The fighting, screaming, Garroth's face full of regret.

"SCREEEEEEEEEEE!"

My thoughts are interrupted by an ear piercing sound, and Aphmau bouncing onto the seat. I quickly notice the two large purple cat ears perched upon her head.

"Y/N! Y/N! GUESS WHAT!" Aphmau screams into my ear.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT APH?" I scream back at her.

"The ears! Anyways, WE ARE GONNA WORK AT THE SCHOOL'S MAID CAFE FUNDRAISER BOOTH!" As she says that, I'm covered in a sparkly liquid, followed by feeling two fluffy f/c ears on my head, and a f/c tail on my back.

"Ok? WHY AM I NOW AN ME'FIWA?" I screech.

"Well, YOU OBVIOUSLY GOTTA BE ONE TO WORK AT THE FUNDRAISER BOOTH!" Aph screeches back.

I sigh and give up on trying to fight her about it.

_-=+=-_

"This skirt is quite... short... for a school fundraising outfit... don't ya think?" I tell Aphmau.

"Well, we are gonna be at a park, not a school, so it doesn't matter that much," Aphmau says, brushing it off.

"I guess so... who all is going to be there?" I ask Aph.

"All of our friends and the guys etc." She replies.

We both get into Cadenza's car and we ride to the park. After 10 minutes, we arrive and head to the maid cafe booth. I stand behind the booth, scanning the park to see who came. In the middle of the park, I see Garroth heading this direction. 

"Hey, Garroth!" I say when he gets to the booth.

"You look... beautiful..." He says as his eyes scan up and down my body.

"T-Thanks! I should help with the booth," I gently peck him on the cheek "Talk to you later!"

I start to focus on the booth when I see a customer, or more recognized as Dante. Dante and I have never met officially, but I know exactly who he is.

"Do you have a name, or can I call you mine?" Dante says to me as soon as he gets to the booth.

"You can call me taken, and I suppose I can call you leaving? Garroth, my boyfriend, is watching you." I point to the bench Garroth is sitting at, death staring at Dante.

"Oh... uh... You must be Y/n... Heh heh... I will be leaving now." Dante runs away just as Garroth stands up.

I shoot a smile at him as he sits back down and turns his attention to his phone. I suddenly feel un comfortable as I see all the guys checking me and the other girls out. I take out my phone and quickly text Garroth an "S.O.S.". Garroth immediately makes his towards me. I take some orders for some people while I wait for him.

I suddenly feel two hands around my waist and I jump.

"Did I scare you?" I hear a deep thick British voice chuckle.

"Garroth, don't scare me like that!" I say, playfully punching him.

Garroth stands next to me, placing his arm around my waist and giving guys death stars. I take orders and work at the booth more comfortable with Garroth by my side.

I dramatically flop onto Garroth's bed. He let me borrow a pair of his sweat pants and one of his hoodies since my mom wasn't home and I forgot my key.

"Thanks for saving me earlier, by the way, Garroth." I say as I gaze at the glow and a dark star that is put in constellations on his ceiling. 

"No problem. I didn't like those guys looking at you anyway." He replies as he lies on the bed next to me. "I honestly don't know how anybody could have worked for 3 hours straight like that."

"I thought your face was going to freeze like that with all the death glares you were giving people." I giggle.

We sit on his bed for awhile, staring at the little glow-in-the-dark stars.

"Garroth, this may be a stupid question, but why do you like me so much?" I say after a good 15 minutes at looking at the little fake stars.

"Hmm... Let's see... You're beautiful, you're a great person inside out, you have been my best friend since kindergarten, and we are watermelon buddies." Garroth lists out.

"Is that all?" I ask him.

"No, but if I were to explain all the reasons, we would be sitting here for years." He says.

I look at the digital clock on his dresser.

10:00 pm.

"I'm going to get changed into my PJs, you staying the night?" Garroth asks as he stands up.

"Yea, I'll text my mom." I say, yawning.

As I wait for Garroth to come back, I text my mom telling her I will be staying over at Garroth's house. After 5 minutes, Garroth comes in wearing sweatpants and no shirt. I look at his perfectly flawless abs as I sit up.

"You see something you like?" Garroth smirks.

I smile, and we both lie down on the bed next to each other. I wrap my arms around him and place my head on his chest.

"Garroth, I have one last question." I sleepily say to him. "Are you and Laurance still friends?"

My question is followed by silence. 

"I'm not sure..." Was the last thing I heard from him before I heard soft snoring.

I find my self slowly drifting off to sleep.

-=+=-

I'm jerked awake by being violently shook.

"Y/n, hurry, get up!" I see Garroth hovering above me, then next thing I know, I'm being dragged to his basement. 

I see people panicking, screaming, and running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Garroth and I end up sitting in a corner of the basement.

"Garroth, what's going on?" I groggily ask him.

"Y/n, don't freak out, but there may or not be a tornado heading straight this way..." He replies.

"WHAT!?! You know i'm terrified of tornados!" I scream, and burry my face into his chest.
