Wolves and Hearts (MerrickXReader one-shots. [Mostly])

Only Contact

With a sigh, you got off the phone with your mother, who was in another state, and threw it against a wall in rage.

"That's not right."

You turn at the sudden voice and look to see a teenage guy with brown hair and hazel, almost grey, eyes looking at you.

"What do you care?" You grumbled softly, "It's just a phone with my horrible mother's name as the only contact."

The teen nodded softly before he inquired, "Are you planning on going somewhere?"

"What's it matter to you?" You bite.

"Well, if you were planning on going anywhere... let me buy you some food."

"No thanks. I've gotten this far without anything."

"I insist." He takes your hand lightly.

You blink at the gesture before he walks you into the Gas Station you were outside of.

You eat a corn-dog as you talk to the teen, who still hasn't given you his name.

"So..." He sighed softly, "We've been talking, and eating for half an hour and I still don't know your name."

You smile lightly, "(Y/N) (L/N)."

"(Y/N)." He lets your name roll off his tongue, "It's a beautiful name."

"Thanks... by any chance are you ever gonna tell me yours?" You smile jokingly.

"Oh... right." He wiped his hand of grease, "It's Merrick. Merrick Baliton."

You smile lightly as you threw the stick of your now finished corndog away and wrap your arms around him. 

"Well... thank you, Merrick." You let out as you let him go.

He smiles lightly and looks into your eyes, then down at the ground.

"What?" You inquire.

"Not... really it's... it's nothing." He shakes his head, looking back up at you, "It's just, you have really nice eyes."

You smile, though your face is slowly turning pink in embarrassment.

"Sorry... I... I know that sounds corny." He let out.

"No... no... it's okay. You're very sweet." You assure.

“So are you.” He replies softly.

You gently pull away and notice a distant look his eyes.

“Are you okay?” You ask quickly.

“Yeah… I was just…… remembering something…” He sighs softly.

“Oh… Which is?” Your curiosity was suddenly peaked.

He holds out a volet phone for you to take.

“A new phone… well… new to you. It doesn't have any contacts on it, and you can do whatever you want with it.” He informs you.

“Do you have a new phone?” You frown in confusion.

“I’ll get one.” He insists, “This just… has to many memories for me to deal with.”

You nod and gently take the phone, “Thank you, Merrick.”

“Yeah… now to get a new phone…” He sighs softly.

You look up and smile gently, “Well, Since you were so kind as to give me your phone and give me food… I'll be grateful to help you get a new phone.”

He smiles, “Thank you, (Y/N).”

“Well… shall we start?”

“Let’s.” Merrick nods and starts down the path...

As he starts moving, you snap a picture of him and start organizing the phone for your soon-to-be only contact.
