Irregular ※ Shorter Wong x Reader

四

You spent the rest of the night joking around with Shorter and Ash occasionally joining in. You heard lots of wild stories about the house parties also. You forgot all about Aubrey leaving you. Shorter and you began cheering on a guy who was chugging beer with 2 others to see who would finish first.  Just then you heard gunshots and everyone began scrambling. Your reflexes acted fast as you kept yourself low to the ground.

Shorter did the same and motioned for you to follow him. Ash was nowhere to be seen through the crazy crowd. A single shot could be heard from atop the stairs. One gunman was down followed by another. You were amazed by the skill and looked up to see Ash eyes locked on the men below.

"Let's go!" Shorter pulled you into him and moved out the back door.

"What about Ash?"

"He can manage, how did you get here did your friend drive you?"

"No I drove." It was total chaos as you watched cars pull out quickly. The people that had come to shoot up the place peeled as quickly as anyone else. It was silent others that ran in hiding confused of the events that took place. There was no telling what the inside of the house looked like, but you weren't trying to go back and see.

Ash appeared from the back door and walked over to the two of you standing in the shrubbery and trees. You were relieved to see him.

"Are you okay?" You asked him. He only nodded in response before turning and walking away.

"C'mon I think it's time to go," Shorter began walking. "my place is close by if you're too shaken up to go home."

You tossed your keys to him. You were a bit shook from what just happened. This sort of thing was common where you used to live. You've just never actually been in the mix. Not knowing if Aubrey directed the guy to her place or his you didn't want to take chances.

I learned my lesson the last time... you shuddered at the thought of what happened a year ago. You had a fight with Mikey and went to Aubrey's without asking her first, you ended up walking in on her and a guy. The guy then offered for you to join them and it was awkward for a while after that took place.

You looked up and you were in front of an apartment building. Shorter handed your keys back and got out. You followed him in and up the stairs starting to sober up.

Once you were inside Shorter passed you a cup of water everything was silent as you watched him move throughout the place. It seemed like you had known him for a while everything felt so casual. He took his sunglasses off and you were a bit taken back. Shorter looked good without them.

Shorter moved closer to you only to whisper into your ear, "take a picture it last longer babe."

You bit your lip in embarrassment for staring too long. He moved to sit on the couch with you and turned the TV on.

"What are you into watching?"

"Really anything tbh." You replied.

"Oh...you're one of those people."

"What do you mean?" You turned to him.

Shorter turned towards you to explain himself, "You're one of those people that say things like 'tbh' instead of 'to be honest'," he chuckled turning his attention back to the TV.

"And you don't say stuff like that?"

"Nah it's weird."

"So you're calling me weird huh?"

"I guess I am, is there a problem?" Shorter challenged.

"I don't have to take this fron a guy who wears sunglasses inside." You huffed and rolled your eyes.

"Ouch." Shorter placed his hand over his heart.
The rest of the night was filled with you and Shorter teasing each other until you settled on a movie. Halfway through sleep washed over you.
