You're Awfully Rude(Paris x Reader)

2. Red.

Lily and Iris had left to see the doctor to fix Lily's legs up. I was given the duty to watch over the house and Yumi. Oh, plus Yumi's really handsome new friend.

Handsome? Where did that thought come from?

I coughed, my leg bouncing up and down as I sat crossed legged on the couch. "So."

"So." Yumi said, sitting next to me, playing with her beaded necklace.

"So." Paris also said, sitting next to Yumi with his leg over the other, his back straight in a neat posture.

I let out a giggle, I found it funny that no one had anything to say. I opened my mouth again to speak. "You're a puppet. An actual puppet."

"Yes." Paris replied. "Except I'm alive and bigger than the average puppet."

I snorted and started laughing uncontrollably, he gave me an offended look. Yumi stared at the both of us, curious as to see where this was going. She was tugging on her necklace gently but in a tensed way.

"Sorry, sorry. It's just," I wiped a tear away, "you're really short compared to a regular male human."

Paris suddenly took hold of my collar and gripped it tightly, it seemed like I had struck a nerve with him, he stared into my eyes with his red ones in a threatening tone but I barely batted an eyelid as I stared right back.

Yumi's back was glued to the couch to avoid getting hit by Paris when he had lunged for me, she relaxed a little and pulled on his suit sleeve. He didn't respond.

His face was too close to mine, I noticed how he didn't breathe. I couldn't feel his breath or his warmth.

I felt my lips curl up as I wrap my hands around his neck, it's strangely cold. "Getting a little too close there, bud." I whispered, slowly sliding my hand down to his back.

His eyes widened and he immediately moved back, as expected, and his face scrunched up in disgust. Or maybe confusion? Paris' cheeks looked redder than usual too. Then he noticed something.

I was twirling a sharp object with my fingers, spinning it really fast. "Lost something?"

"You're annoying, you know that right?" Paris spat, he held his hand out. "Give it back before it gets mad."

"Before what gets mad?" I stopped twirling his knife, I glanced at the blade to check my reflection, instead I saw a really scary snarl. I screamed and dropped the knife, it made a clanging noise as it hit the floor.

Yumi picked it up for Paris and handed it back to him gingerly, like the weapon was more dangerous than it should be. She turned to me. "Y-You shouldn't take things that isn't yours." Yumi mumbled in a low voice, gripping her necklace tighter.

I felt a little bad, I didn't want to hurt the sweet girl. I leaned down a little and smiled warmly. "It's ok, I was planning to hand it back anyways."

"Right." Paris said with a pinch of salt.

I decided that I didn't like Paris. I'm sure he felt the same.

Just then, the door had opened and in came the twins. Iris was supporting Lily as they walked in, Lily's ankles were bandaged up, but the damage didn't look too serious. At least, to me.

Yumi hopped off the couch to let the injured girl sit down, Paris uncomfortably shifted away from her.

"I'm glad you didn't burn down my house." Iris said jokingly, I snickered.

"Yeah, it's a big surprise isn't it? It's my birthday gift to you." I winked, smiling cheekily. Iris laughed and sat next to me, sandwiched between Lily and I. Paris noticed how it was starting to get too crowded and decided to leave the couch.

"Well, we'll be off now." Paris cleared his throat and tugged on the rim of jacket sleeve. "It was a pleasure meeting you three." His eyes fell upon Lily, Iris, then me and I swore he had gritted his teeth.

"Visit soon will ya?" I blew a kiss, despite the look on his face, Paris rolled his eyes and left. Yumi trailing behind him like a little duckling.

"Bye bye." The girl in red said and the door closed shut.
