The Odd Ones (Jim x reader)

Chapter 8

JIM'S POV:

Around 3 am, I was working on a new gadget when I heard a soft knock on my door. I thought it was Mom, so I didn't say anything. She knows how to open doors! Another knock was heard. Okay..not Mom. Maybe a customer or someone needs a room? "J-Jim..?"

Isn't that (y/n)'s voice?

I spun around quickly, and walked to my door. I opened it, seeing the girl that we brought home. Her eyes were puffy and bright ass blue, as if she were crying. Her blue eyes were shimmering, like she could drop to the floor and sob all over again. She wasn't wearing her clothes from before. Instead, she was wearing some shorts and a tank top that was a bit too big for her, the left strap hanging off her shoulder. Might be an old tank top of Doc's. Her brown, long hair wasn't really that messed up, but the flowers were dying and falling out of her hair. Does it mean she's...sad? Upset? Uhhh...scared maybe? I mean, this is her first time ever sleeping somewhere else. Maybe she couldn't sleep.

Realizing I've been staring for quite some time, I cleared my throat. "O-oh, Hey (y/n). What's u-up?"

She sniffled. "I can't sleep...I had a nightmare and I'm too scared to go to sleep again."

She was holding her figure tightly, and I could see her shaking. I set down my screwdriver on my dresser, then moved out of the way so she could walk in.

"Sorry for the mess....I build uh..." I was trying to word it for her. "...technology. Yeah that."

"Teachn...so solar surfers?" She walked in, I closed my door gently.

"Yeah, I have one of my own. I need to upgrade it a bit though." I looked at her.

Her eyes are purple again. Hmm..maybe I should write these down. Definitely not right now, but on my own time. I'm curious about how many colors she has.

"Do you think you could help me with mine? Well it's not mine, but do you think you could help me with-"

"Wait, who's is it?"

"Ame- I mean, Mom's."

"Amelia's??" Since when did Amelia get herself a solar surfer?? It matches her personality, but that's kinda out of there..! She nodded.

"Well..uh..yeah I can help you guys out. Sometime. Uh..."

I did the only thing that would help me out if I was scared: I hugged her. Not just a simple hug, a kind of hug that was long, one that was strong, yet gentle. Like a mother hug. To let her know she wasn't alone. When I felt her body shake and heard her sobs, I carried her to my bed, sitting her down and climbing up next to her. She laid her head on my lap, sniffling and sobbing. I could feel blush rise up on my cheeks as I ran my hand in her hair.

"Can you tell me what-"

"There was a weird guy with crab hands and an evil smile with fire...h-he burned down my v-village...someone saved me, he had a shiny eye...his arm was badly wounded...they chopped it off...he wrapped me up in several blankets and put a letter and this necklace next to me in a small box..."

She showed me the necklace that I gave to her earlier from Doc. She continued her dream story, sniffling now and then.

"He whispered, "You'll be in good hands kiddo.""

I listened, trying to figure out who it was.

"One second we were in the middle of a heaping fire, the next second, we were at a quiet place...He hid me in a narrow alleyway, away from weird and bad people...he kissed my forehead and left, limping along the way..."

She sobbed again, leaping up from my lap and wrapped her skinny arms around my neck. "I-I wanna know who that was and who burned down my village...I want to see my burned village and see what that evil crab man did...I-I want to meet the guy who....saved...." she yawned. "...my life..."

Her strong hold loosened, and before I knew it, she was fast asleep. Probably from all that crying and the fact that it's 3:30 am. I sighed, laying her down and tucking her into my bed.

I sat back down at my desk, watching the flame flickering back and forth in the lantern. I kept rethinking about her dream. Crab man? Who could possibly be- WAIT!!!! Scroop???? Is that who she's talking about???? So that means....the man who saved her was- SILVER???? No way!!! That's how he doesn't have a leg and an arm....maybe. He did tell me once that everything may pay the price...did he risk his leg and arm to save (y/n)??? It only makes sense with the necklace and note, and now with this dream.

I looked over at (y/n) who was sound asleep, nuzzling my pillow and whimpering in her sleep.

Must be having a nightmare again. Poor girl.

I got up and dressed into some pajama pants and switched off my lantern.

I climbed into bed with her, pulling her closer. Her soft, little hands were placed on my bare stomach. Her irregular breaths turned back to soft and slow snores. I placed her head on my chest and continued to play with her hair, staring up at the ceiling.

If that was really Silver in her dream, then did this really happen? But why would he write about avoiding himself in the note? I need to see that note again. Talk to Doc about it. Maybe he'll know.

I felt (y/n) scoot forward, her body was basically on top of me. I put a tomato to shame. Calm down, calm down, she just needs comfort and here I am. (Anime reference ;)) Everything is fine, as long as she doesn't-

I felt her arms snake around my neck and she nuzzled her face close to my neck. I could hear her soft breaths hitting my ear. She had both legs on either side of my body. I could feel my ears burning. I put my hands on her waist slowly, so I wouldn't wake her.

Her body is so small, but she does have some nice curves...her b-breasts are against my chest...my face is burning up so much.

My hands started to roam around.

No stop it hands!!! This isn't right, she's sleeping!!

My fingers lifted up her tank top a bit, letting hand slowly caress her back.

Her skin is so soft...Hm? What's this?

That's when I felt like my heart was going to explode. I accidentally grabbed her butt... and she softly moaned!! By Flint's trove!!

Shit shit shit shit!!! No no no no no!!! What do I do????? S-She moaned in my ear!!! Uh oh....that's no good...

That's when I felt my...problem against her right thigh....

Ohhhhh shit....please don't wake up!!!
