Cancer//Nathan Prescott x Reader

t w e n t y e i g h t

You hurried to the hospital after classes, courtesy of Warren. Nathan was being discharged today and you needed to know if he was going to be okay, you walked to his room and your eyes went wide once these cold eyes met your figure.
"H-Hello, Mr. Prescott." you quickly greeted him as you approached

"Y/n, right? What are you doing here?"

"I came to see Nathan off, I have some things to speak with him about."

"He's getting dressed at the moment." the man took a seat in the chair near the door. The hallway became silent and you weren't sure what to say, his father was so intimidating that you grew nervous of what he could possibly be thinking about you. Luckily enough, the door opened and there stood Nathan, his spirits instantly lifted at the sight of you. You smiled up at him,
"Hey."

He basically threw himself at you and brought you into his arms tightly, you softly giggled and wrapped your arms around him. He quickly pulled away when it finally sunk in that his dad was sitting right near you both, and his eyes were right on you both. "I-I need to talk to you." you quickly said. He nodded and gestured you into his room, shutting the door behind you once you entered.

"What is it?" he questioned quietly

"Are you going home? Like, with your dad, do I just text or what?"

"Yeah, I'll be out there with him and my mom for a few days, I won't have my phone though. I'm pretty sure they're gonna keep me off of anything remotely close to the outside world." he sighed in annoyance

"I want to talk to you though, I don't want you to be alone out there..." you quickly grabbed his hang

he sadly smiled and tightened his grip around your hand,
"I know."

"C-could I come over? For maybe dinner?" you suggested

he ripped his hand from yours once hearing the absurd idea,
"No Y/n, there's no way!"

"What, why not? It's just a night, please Nathan. You met my parents... I think I should meet yours.."

he groaned and rubbed his face,
"God , I was such a fucking dick in front of them." he sounded embarrassed

"Don't worry I told them you had a 'family emergency' that day....so you owe me for making me lie to my precious parents." you fake pouted, pleading for him to agree.

he rolled his eyes after staring at you for a moment, "Fine, fine! Just stop looking at me like that!" he quietly chuckled

You hugged him quickly and kissed his cheek,
"What time should I come?"

"6pm, maybe we could watch a movie before you leave?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, I should go before my dad flips his shit." he sighed quietly

"See you tonight." you grabbed the sides of his face to pull his lips into yours. His hand softy pushed against your back, you broke the kiss and softly smiled up at him. He smiled back before a sigh left his lips. You both left the room, you waved goodbye to him and his father; deciding it'd be very awkward if you walked alongside them to the exit. You made sure they were out if sight before you left to go back to the parking lot, you got into Warren's car. He looked up from his phone after patiently waiting for you, "Looks like I'm having dinner with Nathan Prescott and his family tonight." you said, extremely nervous but a part of you was excited. 

"Seriously?! No wonder you look like you're about  to shit yourself." Warren slightly smiled as he began to drive out of the parking lot

"Do you know many times I've heard they 'own this town', of course I'm close to shitting myself. I just hope they don't hate me." 

"They're not gonna hate you, and even if they do so what? I'm certain that Nathan is a rebellious type."

You sighed and let a chuckle escape your mouth, "That's true, but still."

"I get it but you'll do fine, I'm sure."

"Thanks for..the confidence, Warren, you're the best." you smiled to yourself and glanced out the window. Once at the dorms you went to get dressed, Warren said he'd drop you off and pick you up after dinner since he didn't have plans and it was the weekend. You went to your room and did some light makeup before struggling to find anything good enough to wear. You settled on some black dress you forgot you owned, you slipped it on and spun around as you stared at your reflection. You slightly jumped at the knock on the door before going to answer. 

"It's 5:10, I suggest we leave soon since they live a couple of minutes away." Warren says 

"Oh, sorry, I'm sort of struggling to find something to wear." 

Warren looks you up and down and nods, "I can see that, who died?" he chuckles 

"Damn, Warren. What make you a professional on fashion." 

"Well..remember how i used to take you to do your treatments?" he rubs the nape of his neck with a  nervous smile

"Yeah...?"

"Well there were a lot of fashion magazines in the waiting room, I was bored!"

You quietly laughed, "I'm not judging! Help me pick something out, dingus." 

He chuckled and nodded, surprisingly picking something out that matched and were your favorite colors. You quickly pushed him out to get dressed and sure enough it looked great on you. You threw a cardigan over yourself, still not comfortable enough without one. You and Warren hurried down to his car as it was much later than you both thought. He tried to calm your nerves through reassuring words during the drive but you continued to bounce your knee out of anxiousness. He parked in front of the large house, just in time. You sighed shakily, 
"God, why did I beg him to come over?" 

"Because you want to be there for him and meet his parents, duh. You'll be fine y/n." 

"I-I guess." 

"Just...call me and I'll rush to come get you." Warren softly smiles 

You nod, "Okay, I will." you leave the car and close the door behind you, you approach the porch and ring the doorbell. You looked up at the house and swallowed a lump that built up in your throat. You hear footsteps quickly approaching the door and you tense up at this. You bite your lip but you're immediately relieved when Nathan answers the door. He beamed at the mere sight of you.
"Y/n! I was almost worried that..you weren't gonna show up." he looked away, a slight frown appearing on his face. 

"No! I would never do that to you! I-I am nervous but i wouldn't be able to do that..ever."

Nathan brings you into his arms tightly and kisses the top your head, "I know." he mouths a thank-you to Warren before he drives off. He lets go of you and grabs your hand, intertwining his fingers with yours and leads you inside. He closes the door behind you and looks at you.
"You'll be fine, I promise it doesn't matter to me what they think of you, I love you."

"I-I know, I love you too, but still..."

"You're a bit of the shy type, my mom will like you for sure if that helps."

You smile with a quiet laugh, 
"Okay, I'm ready..."
