Nothin' Special (Crutchie X Reader)

Jack and Racetrack Do Some Snooping

Considering (Y/n) was a girl, the other newsies thought it was only proper that she had a room to herself. (Racetrack and Jack said she should room with Crutchie along with a set of childlike giggles, but (Y/n) didn't necessary know why...) The boys gave (Y/n) the room farthest down the hall (next to Crutchie's *Jack and Race giggle*) and farthest away from most of the unnecessarily loud newsies.

(Y/n) placed her bag down next to the bed, which Walnut was already sleeping on. The room was about the size of a small walk-in closet. It had bed with a thin, (f/c) (favorite color) ragged blanket. Across from the bed was a window with a view almost as good as Jack's penthouse. (Y/n) unpacked her stuff and hid the bags of sweets under the bed.

Unpacking didn't take very long, considering (Y/n) didn't have much to begin with. All she had was her blouse and boy clothes, the sweets, a pimp cane, a small blade, some stolen pens, and an old, torn diary she'd had since she was little.

Racetrack and Jack pace anound the Newsboys Lodge, hoping an idea would possibly pop into one of their heads.

Another newsie, Albert, had just finished his shower and was coming down stairs when he saw the two thinking.

"WHOOH!!" He said waving his hand in front of his face. "Don't anyone else smell smoke?" He laughed.

"Oh, can it Albert!!!" Race yelled, beating Albert with his hat.

Albert chuckled. "Anyways, why you two fellas thinkin' so hard?"

Race sighed,"We'se thinks Crutchie and (M/n) carry torches fo' eachotha'."

"Hah!" Jack giggled,"More like a bonfire!!"

Albert raised an eyebrow. "Waddaya mean, Jackie?"

"You'se seen da' way (M/n) looks at em? No doubt she likes him!!" Jack replied raising his eyebrows.

"Hmm," Race pondered, "We'se'll neva be sure until we'se get some kinda proof..."

Jack stopped pacing. "Wadda you're suggestin'?"

Race smirked devilishly. "I'm sayin'...we should do a lil' investagatin'..."

"Welp I'se joinin' as a witness." Albert commented.

(Y/n) and Crutchie (along with Walnut) decided to sell together again today, perfect for Race and Jack's 'investigation'.

"Should we're be doin' dis..?" Albert asked one the door to (Y/n)'a room opened.

Race and Jack chuckled.

"Pfft...No!" Race laughed.

Albert sighed and followed Jack and Race inside. The three newsies instantly began searching for nothing in particular.

Jack sniffed,"It smells a lot bedda' in here than it does in the otha' rooms!!" He said with an astonished tone.

Albert wacked Jack with (Y/n)''s pillow. "Of course it does, it's a goil's room afta all!!"

"Or could it be casa' dis?" Race said, pulling one of (Y/n) and Crutchie's sweets filled bag from under her bed.

The three boys opened the bag and marveled at the wondrous sight, because here, inside the bag Race held in his hands, laid every street-rat's dream come true.

"SWEETS!!!!!" Race, Jack, and Albert cried out in union.

"Aye fellas we'se hoooome~" (Y/n) sang as she opened the door and held it open for Crutchie.

"Hiya (M/n), Hiya Crutchie." Mush greeted from his spot next to Kid Blink.

"How goes the sellin'?" Blink asked as (Y/n) closed the door.
