Chapter Twenty-One: Smoking

10k's Pov

She lit one and blew the smoke to the side. My lips curled into a small smile, taking it, I was standing in front of her, I took a quick puff and handed it to her. Her eyes closed slowly as she breathed the smoke in slowly, then exhaled after a few seconds. My face started to heat up as I watched her, I slowly retch up and almost cupped her face with my hand, but I retracted it. My eyes staring at her lips, those soft lips.. She handed me the cig and I took it, turning my head to the side and exhaling the smoke.

When I turned back, She had already inhaled. She smirked and blew the smoke out of her mouth and into her nose, exhaling out of her mouth soon after. I gulped, trying to keep myself from kissing her. She handed me the cig and moved her hair out of her face, pulling it into a high ponytail.

I stared at her lips again while exhaling. Her lips slightly pulled into a smile. "Do you remember that one time, when a friend of your dad brought his kid to the training ground and he said he could beat me?"

I cringed remembering the memory.

"Tommy, Y/n, this is Erik. He is Mr. Hull's son."  The boy looked at me smugly. I swallowed hard, staring at him. He had nice blonde hair and bright baby blue eyes. A few days after him meeting us, he challenged me in private, saying Y/n was the prize.  I accepted, afraid he'd take her from me. The fight started, he abruptly came at me and I blocked with my forearm, just as Y/n taught me.. He threw another hard punch at my face, this time I couldn't block fast enough. He hit me square in the jaw and I stumbled back.

He went to hit me again. He froze as we heard a slow clap from the forest. We both turned and Y/n, who was invisible amongst the trees, walked out. Her cold eyes stared at us, her hands clasped together after clapping. She walked foreward, so that she stood beside me. "Erik, it's time you learn that you can't pick on people smaller than you."  He was slightly taller than both of us. He smirked down at her, then over at me, his eyes locking with mine.

"We'll see about that." The moment he said go, he rushed towards her. She had her arms crossed but right before he could touch her, she unfolded her arms and ducked, headbutting him hard in the stomach. He went to punch her, but she caught his fist, a small smirk playing on her lips. She jumped back, still holding his fist, yanking him forward, he grabbed her wrist with his other hand and she kicked him hard in his side with her left, then yanked his hand down, kneeing him in the face.

He let her go as she shoved him back. His hands held his, now bloody and broken, nose. Tears welled up in his eyes. She glanced back at me but he took that second to grab her by the hair and yank her down. She laid on the ground, slightly dazed. He straddled her stomach and her eyes locked with mine. I was silently pleading her to fight back. He threw a fist at her face and she dodged it by tilting her head. He stared into her eyes. "Give up yet princess?~" It didn't take long for her to react, she kneed him hard in the back and headbutted his forehead. She shoved him off and punched him once more, furthering his bloody nose. He cried out and ran off.

Y/n looked at me with her normal stoic face, except there was a slight smile. "Do you remember what I said I'd do if you bet like that again?"  I thought about it while she inhaled the last bit. I shook my head. "No.."

She put the cigarette out and hopped down, but considering of how close I was standing to her, her chest was pressed against me. One of her hands was on my shoulder, the other tilted my head to the right. She then leaned up and whispered in my ear. "I'd punish you." She pulled back and winked at my, now red, face.
