Stealing His Hat ➳ Morpheus

Stealing His Hat ›› Morpheus x Reader

This book is for those who are Team Morpheus!

Background Info:

You are a human who has adored the series Splintered and was dedicated enough to go find the rabbit hole and to your surprise you actually found it! After stumbling into the rabbit hole you met Queen Alyssa and she confessed that her secret pen name is A.G Howard! She wanted to write a book about Wonderland but to also keep Wonderland a secret but Alyssa told you something that blew your mind.

All the events were real but some of the characters weren't real;

* Jeb was her childhood friend who had to move away to his adoptive family because of his abusive father and has never seen him since.

* Morpheus was there but "Alysseus" never happened and Morpheus suggested it for the book to make it more interesting.

Y/N POV

I stare at myself in the wall length mirror; I was wearing a deep plum strapless gown with black lace around the waist with matching black gloves that ended to my elbow and black heels. My hair cascaded down my back in waves with purple ends and I had a purple smoky eye with black eye markings that Alyssa drew with her steady artist hands. My lips were a dark red to complete the look and that's when Alyssa walked in.

She had a dark red dress with black cobwebs towards the end of the dress and it had a beautiful boat neckline with the same cobweb pattern as well as her signature fingerless gloves. She has red heels and our makeup was almost the same but her eye shadow was black and her lips were closer to pink than red.

"You look stunning" I complemented Alyssa, she smiled and complemented me back "You too Y/N". I opened the door for her and the both of us make our way downstairs to the ballroom.

Alyssa and I had to part due to her duties as Queen so I glanced around to see a face I know all too well. He was wearing a dark blue tuxedo with a white shirt and black tie. His blue hair shone in the light of the chandelier but the top of his head was covered by his black top hat.

Morpheus.

Although we haven't formally met he is one of my favourite characters from the book and he was oblivious to my existence, just like when I thought he wasn't real and unaware of Wonderland. But not after what I'm about to do.

I walk behind him and he still didn't notice, that's when I grabbed the hat off his head and made a run for it and only seconds later I heard a pair of feet running after me.

I was never one to be elegant...

Eventually my heels weren't helping me and I stopped in my tracks. I turned around and saw Morpheus' face turn from a tired rage to realisation then to a smirk. Oh no. "So not only is the netherling who stole my hat a thief but a beautiful one too".

As I try not to blush I correct him "First of all, I am human and second of all, I didn't steal it I just simply borrowed it to get your attention". His grin went away when I said I was human but came rushing back when I said the last bit which I didn’t get until he spoke next.  “You wanted to get my attention did you luv?” He accused, almost mocking me with the smoothness in his voice.

“Yup” I confessed like a child would to another on a school playground, popping the ‘p’. Morpheus moved to retrieve his hat but I swiftly moved the hat out of his reach and cooed, “Uh uh uh, you have to dance with me first”. I saw the gears in Morpheus head moving before he replied “Okay but only because I want my hat back”.

Ignoring his last comment I pull him back inside the ballroom and just my luck a new song had started so we began to dance slowly, my hands on his shoulders with his black hat still in my grasp and his hands on my hips. After a few awkward moments of dancing, Morpheus asked with his thick cockney accent “I never believed I caught your name” “Y/N” I replied with a smile and placing his hat on my head, only to tip it like the stereotypical English would do.

I thought I saw a fraction of anger in his eyes when I put on his hat but almost the second I put it on my head he smiled and complimented me “It actually suits you Y/N”. I let the blush come now and thank him, in the corner of my eye I see Alyssa pointing at Morpheus and I, looking like she is watching a romantic play. I smile to yourself and then Morpheus spots where I were previously looking and he smiled too. We made small talk about how I actually found the rabbit hole and who was my favourite character in the book (as he knew of Alyssa’s secret pen name).

Almost on queue, the song ended with a stretched out note played by the violin and that’s when I put Morpheus’ hat back where it belonged and walked away before he could, the way most of my crushes and relationships ended but Morpheus wasn’t like them. He grabbed my hand gently and twirled me around into him and whispered, just low enough for me to hear “You’re not getting away from me that easily luv”.

Hey I hope all the Splintered fans liked this due to the lack of FanFiction here! And Anita, if you are reading this then you probably think I'm weird for having the whole "What if Anita was Alyssa" thought but you can't fix my mad brain...

I absolutely love Splintered, it is the best thing ever!
