Shazam? (Billy Batson X Reader)

Chapter 7

 This is a nice calm chapter to life your spirits a little bit.

I start to wake up to the feel of blankets moving and someone climbing over me. It was around 7:00 in the morning. I close my eyes again not wanting to get up. I feel Billy's lips against my temple and a whispered: "I'll be back, okay?"

I hum a confirmation that I understood. He walks away and I hear "You guys need to let Y/n stay here today, she didn't exactly want to be home because her dad jerked out again... She needs to stay here during school today."

I hear Victor say, "she still needs to go to school, it's a requirement." Rosa agrees with him. Billy fights back, "Jesus... She needs a break, this whole town is hell for her, she needs to sleep.

Please..." he was pleading. For me

"Y/n can stay... But she has to at least wake up to go out with Victor when he's grocery shop-" Rosa begins when Billy cuts her off.

"She will! She will..." There's silence. I bite my lip nervously as I hear Freddy climb down from his bunk.

"Y/n?" He says, kneeling next to me. "Are you okay?" He asks.

I nod my head quickly and quietly. He nods his head slowly as a sign of confirmation that he understands my words. I smile at him as he walks out.

A couple of seconds later Billy walks in. He takes off his shirt to get dressed and I look at him. "Billy?" I ask. He looks at me, not embarrassed or awkward, he just smiled.

"Hey," he says as he kneels down next to me.

"Hi," I whisper back. He tells me he has to go to school and that he only wishes he could be here with me. I cup his face and say "It's fine, I'll be okay," I say.

He nods his head and stands up to pull a shirt on. He grabs jeans and runs out of the room. A couple of seconds later I feel his jeans from the night prior land on my hip as I close my eyes.

I get up around 11:00 and Victor makes brunch. Turkey bacon with scrambled eggs and toast. He had Tutti Frutti by Little Richard blasting in the kitchen, he danced around as he collected various items for the food.

I giggle at him dancing and he twirls. I start laughing more and take out my phone to video him and send it to the family group chat. That was the best thing about this family. The family group chat.

This group chat consisted of Victor, Rosa, Mary, Darla, Eugene, Pedro, Freddy, Billy and myself. It was on Instagram and I usually felt as if I didn't belong in the group because I didn't live there.

"Hey, you and I should just go see a movie, kid," he says as I click send.

"Or we could just do your grocery shopping, Vic," I say. He nods his head with a groan.

We sat there eating the food and Rosa walked in hiding something behind her back. "Hey, Rosa!" I say as I wave at her.

"Hey, hon," she says. "I'm excited for some stuff to happen here, kiddo."

"What kind of stuff?" I ask, nervousness coming over me.

"Hey... Nothing bad, I promise," Victor says. "Doesn't even have anything to do with you," he finishes.

I watch Rosa open the door that leads to the guest room. It was a small room but a nice one at that.

She carries in her bags and then Victor pats my back before saying, "Come on, kiddo. Let's go grab some food, you get to pick some stuff too though."

We were going through the grocery store with a shopping cart full of items. "You know what the kids like for breakfast, right?" Victor asks. He didn't usually make their food for them in the morning, he made dinner most of the time instead.

"Um... Yes!" I say. I grab a box of strawberry Pop-Tarts from the scratched up shelf. He smirks. I collect the other breakfast materials for the kids. "Darla loves strawberry pop tarts, Eugene has some huge fascination for dinosaur oatmeal. Oh! Mary eats two hard boiled eggs every morning because she's weird," I say as I grab the three first food items.

He chuckles. "What about Freddy, Billy and Pedro?"

I giggle and say "Pedro likes chocolate chip waffles, Freddy likes Lucky Charms and Billy likes Cap'n Crunch." I turn to face him as I place the two kinds of cereal into the cart. "Keep in mind, your large payment is because you took in these children."

"Oh trust me, I know," he says. We both laugh and continue throughout the building. He stops before we exit the aisle and says "Pick a breakfast food," as he looks back.

"Um... Okay!" I say and run over to grab a box of Smore pop tarts. I toss them in the cart and we continue.

By the time we had finished, I couldn't help but realize he had told me to pick something from every area in the building.

We had all the groceries in the trunk and we pulled up to the school to pick up the others. As we pulled up next to them I couldn't help but notice that Mary wasn't with the group. There were five more seats in the back aside from the passenger seat where I had been seated.

Darla, Eugene and Freddy climbed in going straight to the back. Pedro climbed in behind Victor and Billy climbed in behind me. "Where's Mary?" Victor asks.

"She's at Lili's," Pedro states as he pulls his seat belt on.

I felt lips connect to my cheek and turn to see Billy only inches from my face. He was leaning around my seat to kiss my cheek. "You're safe now," he whispers.

"Huh?" I ask, I try to ask him what he meant but Victor cut me off with a gasp and all the kids including Freddy laughed at his next statement.

"Billy kissed Y/n?! Are you dating Billy, Y/n?" He asks. I giggle.

"Um... Yeah..." I say with a small smile creeping onto my cheeks.

"NO WAY!" he says. We all laugh a bit more and Billy groans. "HEY! You're dating who I would call my own kid so... The fact that NOBODY told me angers me! Kidding, I'm just shocked I wasn't told by DARLA!"

Darla giggles and says "I didn't even know until now," before cuddling closely to Freddy. We get home and everyone starts running into the house. I grab Billy's hand and whisper "What's going on? What do you mean I'm safe now?"

He cups my hands in his and says "Trust me, you're safe now dove." He walks away leaving me in the driveway more confused than I thought I could be.
