Ghostly Kind of Love | t.hiddleston ✔ [ X Reader ]

7 || OLD DAYS

Tom walked into the room that Y/N has gave to him to stay in. He plopped down on the bed and let out a heavy sigh. Tonight has been a rough and hard night for both of them.

And he didn't know why.

Three years ago, his world started to fade away and he let darkness surrounded and suffocated him. But then somehow the light came and he was back into this world as a ghost.

Well, more to he was back into Y/N's home. He didn't know how or why it happened, but he was sure it was all because of his best fried. Her loyalty towards him has brought him back, that he believed in.

Everything was going smooth until Sebastian came. Something inside of him stirred everytime she mentioned his name so he got furious when he knew that Sebastian asked Y/N out on a date.

Why would he feel that? He wasn't sure, or maybe he didn't want to know his own feeling.

He tried to have some rest but his eyes didn't want to sleep yet. He groaned in frustration and walked towards the living room. Maybe he needed to watch some movies then he could sleep.

But when he passed by Y/N's room, he heard cries. When he walked nearer, the cries became clearer to his ears. He was going to enter her room by his own ghostly way, just coming through the closed door but then he remembered that he would scares her again. So, he knocked.

"Y/N, it's me."

He knocked the door and waited. The cries lower, like she was trying to hide it from him. But she didn't open the door nor answering him.

"Y/N? Please open the door."

He asked for a few times and when she didn't answer him, he was getting impatient. He walked through the door and looked around her room. He spotted her sitting on the floor, with her head in her hands.

"What's wrong, darling?"

He rushed and kneeled beside her. She looked up at him with her red and puffy eyes. He winced at the sight of her, his heart stung at the thought that she might be crying because of him.

"What's wrong, Y/N? Please tell me."

He begged her whilst pulled her into his lap. She didn't push him away and let him. He hushed her in his arms and kissed her head softly.

"I made you cry like this; I'm so sorry, Y/N."

He apologized to her as he saw the look in her eyes. He didn't know if what he said to her earlier really hurt her this much.

"It's not your fault."

Her voice cracked as tears kept streaming down her face like waterfall. She won't tell him that she was crying because he just reminded her how hurt she was when he told her that he was in love with Chloe.

"You're crying because what I said-"

"No, it's not because of you."

She corrected him and gave him a sad smile. She didn't know what to say as a reason, but she didn't want him to blame himself for her tears.

"I just couldn't hide my feelings anymore."

She mumbled under her breathe so he couldn't hear her. He kissed her head softly and smiled.

"I really am sorry if I hurt you by my words. You deserve to date whoever you want and I have no right to judge them."

He said while taking her hands in his. She looked him in the eyes and tried her best to hide her feelings for him.

"I don't know why- but I was a little bit hurt when I heard that he asked you on a date."

Tom admitted, his gaze fell on the floor. She frowned and shook her head- clearly didn't get what he was feeling.

"I know it was silly and if you ask me- No, I don't know why am I feeling this way. But I'm sorry. I shouldn't stop you from seeing whoever you want to."

He bit his lips and hung his head in shame. He wasn't sure why he was saying all of that and acted like he was in love- wait, what?

In love with her?

Maybe he was in love with her; he shook that thought and contained himself from saying stupid things again. Y/N was his best friend, he couldn't love her more than just a friend, right?

She wiped away her tears and cracked a smile for him. She hid her feelings neatly, didn't want to entertain the stupid butterflies that was fluttering in her stomach everytime he looked at her like that.

"I'm sorry too, Tom."

He just nodded and smiled slightly. And he didn't leave her side that night. They watched a movie together and they didn't realize when they fell asleep in each other arms.

Just like old days.
