Soak 'em (Newsies X Reader) | #WATTYS2019

King of New York

The next morning I jumped out of bed ready to tackle the day. I threw on a simple tank top and my deep blue suspenders. My pants were simple gray colored. Thankfully Medda had given me plenty of of girl things like bras and underwear or I'd be screwed.

My hair was brushed out and I began to French braid it down the middle of my head and then took a bobby pin and pinned the tail to the top of my head. I slipped my hat on and adjusted it. With my look completed, I bounced down the stairs only to be met by Kloppman. He was probably the sweetest old man you would ever meet. He would always protect and stand up for us like we were his grandchildren.

"Mornin' Kloppman!" I chirped. "I'll take care of the boys, you go take a load off."

Kloppman nodded softly. "Boys been drinkin'?" He asked in his shakey voice. I nodded with a shrug before bounding back down the stairs. I walked into the bunk room and smiled at all my precious boys.

Time to be a pain in the ass.

I grabbed some old wooden spoon and a trash can lid and smirked. I smashed the spoon against the lid with a loud crash.
"RISE AND SHINE YA BUMS!" I yelled.

Most of the younger boys jumped awake, scared out of their minds. The older ones winced at their headaches and groaned.
"The sun is out, the birds are singing, it's a beautiful day to crack some heads." I said as I walked through the bunks. I stop by Racetrack's bed and when I said "crack" I smacked him gently on the head with the spoon.
"Yous a pain in the ass." Racetrack grumbled. I chuckled softly.
"And you drank too much, yous lucky ya made it to the winda' (window) this time."

Race groaned and flopped on his back.
There was a small gasp behind me followed by; "how did I get naked?"

I turned to Kid Blink and he was covering himself with the blanket. Everyone laughed at him.
"You asked me to undress you. Completely. So I did."

Jacks head snapped my direction and he shot me a glare.
"Wait really?" Blink leaned back on his hands, smirking.

I shook my head. "Nah, you did that to ya-self."
The boys laughed harder as Blink threw a pillow at me. I headed out on the streets towards Tibby's as the boys got prepared to follow me there shortly after.

I sat with Jack at a table. All of the boys were being loud and obnoxious, bustling with excitement as they waited for the newest addition of The Sun to come out.

The bell rang on the door. Everyone's head snapped towards it and in came Denton. He set down a newspaper in front of Jack and immediately everyone surrounded us. Spot came and stood over Jacks shoulder.

"Where's me picture? Where's me picture?" He demanded, leaning over Jack to get a better look.
Boots looked excited. "What's that? Is that about us?"

Mush pointed to the Picture on the front page of the paper and laughed. "Look at that y/n you look like a gentleman."
"Get ya fingers off my face!" I swatted his hand away and scooted the paper back over in front of me, away from Jack.

"Where does it say my name? Where's my name?" Spot demanded once again. Jack looked up at him. "Would'ja stop thinkin' about yourself?" He scoffed.

Race chuckled and rested both his arms on both of my shoulders. "Why's Spot got his arm around ya, huh y/n?"

I shrugged. "Hell if I know, spot put it there." He looked down at me with a smirk, his long hair falling in his face. Jack stood up aggressively and shoved Spot. They had a stare off before someone spoke.
