My Little Monster(Maurice x Reader fan fiction)

Chapter 20 (The Coolest)

(Maurice's pov)

"I think the should the Underworld should just stay the way it is," (Y/n) says as we walk to the food hall.

It was the next day after I asked (Y/n) to be my girlfriend. The people in the Underworld wanted a leader again and there was going to be a meeting tomorrow for who will run this place and shit like that. I honestly don't care. 

"Well it's you against 100 monsters, babe," I say, stepping down some stairs.

"You agree with me, right?" (Y/n) says hopefully and stares at me with puppy dog eyes.

I look at her, but quickly avert my eyes, so I don't see her expression. "I honestly don't care. As along as the new leader isn't a strict asshole." I shrug, walking up to the entrance to the food hall.

There were more monsters at this time and most of them are talking about the meeting. I sigh heavily as Sid, another monster, walks up to me seeming happy.

"You coming to the meeting tomorrow?" Sid asks with a high pitched voice. I see (Y/n) smirk before mouthing, 'I'll get the food'. I nod at her before she walks into the food hall and I turn back to the tiny monster.

"I don't know," I say, trying to sound happy, but in reality I'm annoyed as fuck. Sid frowns a little disappointed. "Well, I hope you come," he says before walking off.

I watch him before sighing in relief as he disappears. I'm about to walk into the food hall, but I hear a loud bang coming from an alley way.

I narrow my eyes, slowly walking towards the sound. I verve the corner to be slammed against the wall. "Ow!" I yelp and look up to see an ugly hunched monster. Snik.

Of course.

"What do you want?" I say aggravated and try to get away, but he has a hold on my shirt and has me backed against a wall.

"You really crossed over the line, Maurice," Snik spits, his saliva getting in my face. "You know what happens when I get angry."

"You're spitting all in my shit!" I yell and try to get away desperately. Snik starts to raise one of his hands to my neck. I close my eyes tightly.

I wait there for five seconds, not feeling anything on my neck, or even my shirt. I open my eyes to see (Y/n) standing in front of me with a flashlight shown on Snik's clothing that were now laying in front of me.

(Y/n) quickly sets the flashlight down so it's still shown on the clothing before looking up at me quickly.

I grin wide and reach out my arms to hug her. "Baby!" I shout, grateful that she saved me. I would've done the same for her.

Instead of hugging me and telling me that everything is alright, (Y/n) grabs my wrist and starts to drag me out of the alleyway. "We can't wait here," she says as we start to walk as far away from where Snik is at a quick pace.

Also, how the fuck did she get a flashlight?

(Y/n's pov)

We finally stop on a bridge that is pretty high up. Maurice has been blabbing on and on about how grateful he is and how much he appreciates me.    

I turn towards Maurice and let go of his wrist. I haven't said a word since we've been walking.

Maurice has a huge grin on his face and has his arms welcoming me into a hug. I smile softly, finally accepting his thank you and wrap my arms around his torso.

"You're lucky I saved your ass," I say after a moment with my head resting on his shoulder. "I am," Maurice replies, his voice being muffled by my neck.

"You're also lucky you have such a wonderful girlfriend." I have a stupid cheeky grin on my face as I hear Maurice chuckle. "I really do."

I pull away from Maurice slowly and look at him a bit more seriously. "Why can't he just leave us alone?" I say, slightly annoyed.

Maurice sighs softly and shakes his head, turning me so I'm now next to him. He wraps his arm around my neck lazily and starts to walk me across the bridge slowly.

"I fucked with Snik once and now it's just going to be Hell for now on. That's just how things work with him," Maurice says softly as I look up at him curiously.

"So it's going to be Hell for me too then?" I ask, already knowing the answer. Maurice answers with a slight nod. "He's been a bitch since he got that hump," he says sadly.

I look at him curiously. "Snik used to not be a bitch?" I ask, which makes Maurice stop.

Maurice looks at me and runs a hand through his hair. "You see, babe, Snik and I used to be friends. We used to prank kids and do other dumb shit together, but when he got that hump and started to work for Boy he started acting like that," he explains with a lot of hand gestures.

My mouth is now slightly open and my eyes are wide. Bullshit Snik used to be a cool guy.

I stand there like a dumbass for a moment before composing myself. "So Snik used to be a cool guy?" I asked, slightly confused.

Maurice nods with a smirk. "The coolest."
