You Being Imperfect makes You Perfect (Joe Goldberg x Reader)

CHAPTER 3- WHO ARE YOU?

Joe Pov

I got back home. I saw Paco on the stairs, and I heard moaning. Geez she forgave that man again.

"Hey Paco,"

"Hey Joe,"

"What are you reading?"

"Im reading a romance how this girl gets stalked and observed by this guy who loves her." Hmmm seems familiar.

"Oh yeah, what happens in the story then?" I asked hopeful.

"Oh well he saves her from her past and she ends up falls in love with him." I smiled. I looked at him and I gave him my sandwich.

"Are you sure Joe?"

"Yes, take it as payment for the story." Paco smiled.

He took it and nodded his head. He immediately started to eat it. I entered my apartment. Paco gave me a great idea. Look her up. I don't know why I didn't think of looking you up till now. I went to my computer and I went to search. No Y/n L/n on social media. But I then saw  this one link. I opened it.

BREAKING NEWS

L/N FAMILY LEFT IN DISTRAUGHT AFTER THE YOUNGEST PRINCE IS KIDNAPPED AND MURDERED. THE YOUNG PRINCE WAS WALKING IN THE PUBLIC WITH THE PRINCESS L/N. BOTH OF WHOM WERE KIDNAPPED. TORTURED INTO A GAME OF INSANITY. THE CRIMINALS IDENTITIES WERE FOUND AND THE YOUNG PRINCESS WAS SAVED. NOT MUCH COULD BE SAID ABOUT THE YOUNG PRINCE. THE ABDUCTORS  ARE THANKFULLY GIVEN THE DEATH SENTENCE. THE DEATH HAD TAKEN A TOLL ON THE ROYAL FAMILY. ESPECIALLY THE FUTURE QUEEN Y/N. SHE HAD DISSAPEARED AND IS CURRENTLY STILL BEING LOOKED FOR. THE ROYAL FAMILY DECIDES TO IGNORE THE MEDIA ON THE FUTURE QUEENS WHEREABOUTS. WHAT HAS HAPPENDED TO OUR DEAR PRINCESS. HAS SHE BEEN KIDNAPPED AS HER BROTHER AGAIN? WE HAVE YET TO KNOW. BUT THE AUTHORITY'S ARE STILL ON THE SEARCH AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL OUR FUTURE QUEEN IS FOUND. GOD BLESS OUR QUEEN.

Your a princess? Your a future queen. You left because you felt that something was all your fault. That's probably why you left and joined the army. No one would think to look for you in the army. Its not the war that changed you, it was your brothers death. I need to know more. I looked into how your brother died. He was shot in non vital spots, until your abductors got bored and just slit his neck open. It says how he was alive when they were slitting his throat and died of blood loss. Gurgling on his own blood. It makes sense, your mother telling you to be careful. Your birthright. Don't worry. Im going to find you a way to forgive yourself. Because this what people do for the people they love. And I think I know a way on how to get you to notice me.

Y/n Pov

I sat on my desk. Working on cases. I was going to be here for a little longer. It was quiet. My partner Carmen and I were waiting for something exciting to happen.

"So Y/n,"

I smiled "Yes Carmen,"

"How is the love life so far?" I sighed

"Well don't have one at the moment. But there is a guy."

She smiled and leaned on my desk. "Name," She glared her eyes.

"Joe Goldberg. I looked up his name in the system. Then I narrowed down on the people who live within walking distance to the bookstore where we met. Then I looked for healthy young men with no criminal records in the age range of 20-30. And that's how I found out more about him." I smiled.

She gasped. "You did all that for one guy?" I nodded

"Your scary. But is he at least nice?" I nodded

"Very, im hoping for something more. But only time can tell." She nodded.

"Here lets go visit Phil, let's get your mind off things." Phil was a homeless. We visited them often. Especially orphanages.

"Im down." We got up and made our way there.

/Time Skip/

We had made it to the dark alleys. It was cold. Luckily we brought blankets. Not for us though. For the homeless. Even some food. We walked down the alley.

"Hey Phil!" I yelled out to him. He turned his head towards our direction and he smiled. We walked over to him and handed him a blanket. And some food.

"Hows our favorite man doing today?" I asked.

"Good, thank you ladies for the blankets and food." We smiled.

"Always a pleasure Phil." Carmen said. We sat down and started talking with Phil for a couple of minutes now. But we saw a mysterious figure walk by. The masked man walked towards us. I decided to call him out.

"Hey you!"

He stopped and tried to shoot Carmen. He was desperate that he kept firing. I jumped in front of Carmen and took the shots. I stood in place. I didn't want to move. I then fell to my knees. As I felt the taste of iron invade my mouth. I fell to the floor. The masked figure started running. Carmen told Phil something. Then she began running after him. All I could see was Phil. He threw his blanket on me. He had Carmen's phone. He was talking to the phone. I started to see black. The cold was so welcoming. Maybe I could sleep this off.

Carmen Pov

I saw my captain and best friend take shots for me. She fell to her knees. Then to the floor. I saw the bastard running. I gave Phil my phone. "Phil call 911, tell them officer Y/n has been shot and needs  medical assistance. He nodded. I started to run as fast as I can. Im not letting him get away. He was far, but not far that I didn't see him. He was running to the subway. Its rush hour. NO. Im going to lose him. He was about to get lost until he fell. Someone had pushed him to the ground. I got to the guy struggling on the floor. And I handcuffed him. "Okay scumbag you are going away for a long time." I said angrily as I roughly handcuffed him and read his rights. People were looking at me. Their phones too. Go ahead, record me, for supposed police brutality. I don't give a shit if I lose my badge. I saw the guy who jumped him. I had finished calling in backup to get this guy, so then I can check on Y/n. I smiled at him.

"Thank you sir for catching this scumbag." I gave him my hand to shake. He took it and shook it.

"No problem really. I was doing what every other normal citizen would do." He smiled. I scoffed.

"No really thank you. No one cared to help me catch him."

"But officer could I ask why you were chasing him?" She nodded

"Yes, its only fair that you know since you helped me. He shot my captain while we were visiting the homeless. He aimed at me, but she jumped in front and took all the shots." I started to tear up. His jaw clenched.

"Is she okay?" He asked worriedly. I nodded slowly. The cop cars showed up. And I gave them that dirt bag. I took a car and decided to drop him off at the station for question on what occurred. I decided to know his name. Its what Y/n does with all our suspects and victims as well as people like him.

"Hey if you don't mind me asking. What your name?"

"My name is Joe, Joe Goldberg." my eyes widened. This is the guy Y/n was fawning over. Well damn, small world.

"You okay mam?" He asked.

"Yes its just that your the guy my friend was talking about. She really likes you. I really think she is even going to ask you on a date after this when she figures out who you are." He smiled. We got back to the station.

"Okay just head inside for questioning, and you should be good." He nodded. He seems like  nice guy for the captain. Wait till she hears this.
