The Chosen One ( Jason the Toymaker X Reader )

Shackled freedom

You walk back into the workshop, exhausted from a long day of sales. The worn down sofa even looked inviting at this point, you almost wanted to just fall into its soft, brown cotton. Jason sat on the sofa however, preventing you from doing so. He seemed to be waiting for you, a pot of tea and some warm crumpets next to him on a tray. You smile at the kindness of the toymaker and take a seat next to him, laying a large amount of money next to him. Jason smiles and hands the money back to you.

" I have no need for money. As you know my dear I'm not human. You keep it, you need more then a monster like me " You had completely forgotten about who Jason really was, his human disguise convincing even those that knew him that he was human. You take a cup of tea in your hand and hold it up to your lips, you suddenly halt remembering what happened the last time Jason offered you tea. The toymaker smiles menacingly before smiling sweetly.

" This batch is fine my doll, let me prove it " Pouring a full cup, Jason downs the entire cup. Proving that it was indeed safe to drink. You finally begin to drink your tea, silence setting between the both of you. Thoughts begin to penetrate your mind again, thoughts once again about the toymaker. Were the few hours at the shop each day actually freedom? You had to enter Jason's domain at the end of the day so how much freedom was there really? You look down, away from the hypnotic glow of Jason's eyes and to the table that was chocked full of new toys. Beautifully painted ones, covered in ribbons and bells. You smile slightly, forgetting that the person who made them was in some ways an impatient child. However, something about him made you shiver, not with fear but with excitement. Your life had been so dull before him and now you were never sure what was around the corner and something about that made Jason seem appealing. You always were a sucker for a bit of danger. A light blush covers your cheeks and you stand up and head towards the door of many rooms.

" I....I need to rest Jason. Long day " The toymaker holds the door handle and looks into your eyes, a slight glow in them.

" I want to spend time with you tomorrow my dear chosen one " You nod and enter the tea room from a few days prior. Sighing and laying into a large plush toy, you wonder what Jason could have planned for the days ahead. It sure wouldn't be normal, that was what you expected and all you knew.
