You make time stand still | Freddy Freeman x Reader

2.superman

"Alright, Freddy. Lets see how good you are at English."

My heart filled up with this giddy joy, I felt myself giggle. I stopped and my heart almost stopped as my phone began to ring, anxiety filled my body and I was hesitant to answer. I didn't want to ignore the call so I quickly clicked accept his voice sounded so soft and calm. "Hi, welcome to Freddy Freeman's tutoring session." I shake my head to his voice. "Hey Freddy." 

"Your lucky I pay attention to class and know all about this." I roll my eyes, "I feel offended, I try very hard at school!" I hear him scoff through the speaker. "Which is exactly why I'm helping you?" 

After his detailed explanation of the story line I attempt to write down most things he says. I also highlight important parts that I might need for tomorrow. Sir usually lets us use books and even lets us talk to each other if we were stuck. 

I looked up at the time, 12:32AM, we had been talking since 7pm. "Damn." I mutter under my breath quiet enough so he wouldn't hear. I didn't expect to be talking for over an hour but to be far we both got distracted a lot. "Isn't it past your bedtime?" I chuckle.

"Well, I'm mature enough to be trusted to sleep and be able to complete homework so, did you want to finish this last chapter, unless you're tired?" I roll my eyes, he says it like he is challenging me. "Ah yes, you are so mature how could I ever invalidate your bedtime." I scoff.

"I mean we have been working on your homework for hours, so why don't we 'talk' about something else?" I stop and look at my phone, and think for a second. This is a first, no one usually likes to strike a conversation to me especially this late.

"As long its not about the superheroes and a repeat of yesterdays conversation I am willing to give you 10 minutes." I say putting my books back into my bag for tomorrow. 

"Soo, tell me about yourself, are you some gamer, vlogger, drawer or something?" Freddy continued to grin.

"Well, all you need to know is I have a little brother obviously, an older sister at college and lives with my mom, then there's my dad. I guess you could say I'm a reader, but there isn't much to me. Anyway enough about me, tell me your life story?" He lets out a bit of a sigh, he hesitates before speaking again. 

"I'm a disabled foster kid, in a house which gets very game of thrones, and on top of that I am a nerd for superheroes." He says in a serious tone, after no reply the boy lets out a small chuckle to let me know it isn't too serious. 

"Why do you like superhero's so much?" I question, I'm expecting a 'that's what I grew up with' at best. Most crazed fans make a lot of sob stories but even though its all Freddy talked about I couldn't see a sob story. 

"I mean, don't you? To be able to feel that sense of need, I mean especially with all those powers, that would be awesome!" He laughs. I smile to myself, nice to see a different response for a change. 

"Sorry Freeman, but I'm not a superhero fan, and I spend most my time living in the real world." He lets out a small gasp, but begins to hum in reply. "Yeah yeah, you're a freak of reality, I'm the freak of fiction" I try to hold back a laugh not to wake up the rest of my family but this boy makes the dumbest things seem the funniest. 

"Don't threat I will make you a fan of superheroes, no matter what you say!" I roll my eyes and shake my head, "is that a promise superman?"

"Is that a promise superman?" I smirk at the nickname, "W-" Before I can let  a word out a loud voice from outside my door calls out.  "Freddy go to bed!" I hear a small chuckle from my headphones, "mature enough to sleep whenever?" I roll my eyes. "Funny!" I scoff back. "Listen to mommy, goodnight superman." Before I can speak she hangs up.
