(Goblin Slayer is pretty ooc in this btw)

"Soo, we leave tomorrow?"  You asked the armored male. "Yeah," he responded in his usual nonchalant tone, though for some reason ever since that thing happened,  he seemed more distant with you. "Just the two of us?" you asked once more, "Yeah." "And none of our party members are joining us?" Goblin Slayer curtly shook his helmet, still gazing ahead as the two of you strolled down the wide dirt path in town. You could tell he was deep in thought, but what was he thinking about?

1 Day Earlier

"Damn, I need some cranberry juice," you decided with your throat parched from the dry air of summer. (is it weird that right when I typed in 'cranberry juice' I could smell it for a second? Just me then?) You slowly dragged yourself to the Guild Hall. You were busy all morning sparring with some of the Silver Ranks, including that arrogant  dumbass with the flimsy stick of a spear, acting as if he was the solution to world hunger and war. 'God I hate idiots like those. I'm honestly surprised that he's made it this far.'

You finally arrived the fairly large building and opened the drastically loud doors. Speaking of the cocky bastard, he was proudly placed in the center of one of the larger tables with both Porcelain and Silver Ranks surrounding him in awe. He caught you glaring at him and gave you his signature smirk which made you want to stab him. You kept glaring until you realized what you came here for. You asked the bartender if there was any of the sweet juice left, which, in response, he shook his head.

You screamed internally for the complete waste of coming to the Hall. If you wanted water or booze to drink, you could've just went back to your small cottage, which was at a shorter distance to begin with. Suddenly, you heard an annoyingly recognizable voice call you out. "What's wrong, my lady, Y/n? About to cry because I drank the last of your precious cranberry juice?" You spun around and sure enough, the spearguy had a silver goblet with ample of juice in it. Your mouth watered involuntarily and rage consumed your soul.

He saw your reaction and grinned. "If you want it that badly, you can have it." Oh hell no. There's got to be a catch. You gave yourself warning after warning and the 'CAUTION' sirens went off in your head, though you found yourself walking over to the man absentmindedly. You were suddenly about to reach for the goblet when he swiped it from you. "At a price, of course," your conscience kicked you in the stomach and slapped you cross-eyed. How could you allow yourself to so easily be pulled into this moron's trap?! You wanted to shrivel up and die in a hole where no one would find you.

"what's the catch," you grumbled quietly in utter shame. He lifted his thumb to his chin. It was obvious he wanted you to know that he thoroughly enjoyed making you show such weakness towards him. "Hmmm, I think I want you... to sit in my lap for a total of three minutes!" Everyone who was listening to the conversation gasped. There's no way in hell you were going to agree to something like that, but the way he swirled the juice in front of you was so tempting.

"Thirty seconds," you bargained. He thought about it for a moment. "One minute." He said with a smirk displayed across his features. "Thirty. Seconds," you growled once more. He finally complied and patted on his leg for you to sit on. You groaned uncomfortably and very hesitantly sat on the edge of his right leg. "Oh common! We're spending merely thirty short seconds with each other, let's make the most of it while we can!" Before you could process what he just told you, he picked you up by your waist and placed you firmly in between his legs. You wanted to vomit. Why did you agree to do this because of some cranberry juice?

Apparently, those thirty seconds weren't short enough, because suddenly, you heard the large doors open once more and low and behold, there stood Goblin Slayer, and nonetheless with a venomous vibe surrounding him. You suddenly felt even worse with the situation you were in. It wasn't a big deal, right? It wasn't like you were in a relationship with Goblin Slayer, but why did you feel as though you betrayed him? You blushed embarrassingly at the awkward scene before you and didn't dare look at his icy glare. "Hmph, it's about time, Goblin Slayer. You should feel jealous that I was able to get such an attractive woman from your party to sit i-" Before he could finish his remark, you heard the grimacing sound of bone combining with flesh.

You felt the spearguy release his hold on your waist and you soon realized Goblin Slayer punched him straight in the jaw. He looked as though he was knocked into another realm. Slayer then snatched your wrist and dragged you along with him. Though, before you were completely out of range, you managed to snag the drink along with you, leaving the people in the hall completely baffled.

Back to the Present

Suddenly, you couldn't take it anymore and blurted out,"Were you jealous?" The man stopped in his tracks suddenly. "About what," his voice sounded hesitant, but perhaps you were overthinking it."Yesterday, at the Guild Hall.." Slayer stiffened uncomfortably. When you were about to confront him once more, he said, "I wasn't jealous, it just bothered me of how close you were to him." You smiled. "And so you wished I was sitting in your lap instead?" He shuddered slightly at the thought. "Slayer, I know this sounds stupid, but it was just for some juice. I have no feelings for that bastard and I never intend to," you chuckled. God, did he love your laugh and your honeyed words.

You touched his chest a bit timidly. "If anything, I'd much rather sit in your lap anyway." Wait. What did you just say? You gasped in realization and a colossal blush subsided on your cheeks. "I mean- what I meant was- I like you- I mean I like food- I MEAN-" Before you could make the situation worse for yourself, you felt two incredibly strong arms wrap around your body. It didn't take you long to realize he was embracing you. You smiled and wrapped your arms around his neck as he pulled you closer.

Maybe sitting in someone's lap for some cranberry juice wasn't such a bad idea after all..

(jk in a real life scenario don't ever do that)
