Starkid Oneshots! [Requests CLOSED!]

|| Jon Matteson x Reader ||

here's a short but sweet one for y'all!

You stepped cautiously, purposefully trying to step on the fallen leaves in hope that it'd make a crunching sound. You often did this, it was distracting from the real world, and plus, it was extremely satisfying to hear the crunch (yes this sounds very specific because I do this lmao)

You had your hands in your pockets and your hoodie over your head. Let's just say, it wasn't really a good day, and you just needed a day out, just to take time for yourself. It felt nice to get some fresh air, but it didn't exactly change your mood that much.

You decided to pop into your favourite cafe and order a hot chocolate, because, heck, why not. Once you stepped outside into the chilly air, you saw something that caught your eye.

The cutest damn beagle you had ever seen in your life.

You took a sip of your seething hot drink before making it your mission to go pet that dog.

The dog and its owner were sitting at a park bench, just quiet, and peaceful. Which looked nice and comforting, so you didn't want to go bother them. But that dog was too cute to miss the opportunity.

You, naturally, overthought the entire issue and contemplated actually going up to the owner for a solid 10 minutes. They hadn't left yet, but the mental debate was still in occurring in your head. What if he just wants alone time? What if he's actually lonely and wants some company? What if the dog is unfriendly and it doesn't like you? What if you make a fool out of yourself? Quick! Make a decision before they leave!

You took a deep breath, and help the hot chocolate safely in both hands.

"Uh, hi! Sorry, this is an odd request but may I pat your dog?" You asked quietly.

"Oh, sure, of course!" He replied, beaming brightly.

"Thank you," you breathed in relief. You finally got to see him close up. His eyes were so blue you could probably sink in them.

You crouched down and pet the dog with one of your hands, still clutching onto your hot chocolate with the other.

"What's their name?" You asked.

"Lucy," He replied. "She's a girl,"

"A beautiful girl," You cooed, using a baby accent with the dog.

"Indeed she is," He agreed. "What's your name?" He asked you.

"O-oh, my name? Y/N," You replied, blushing.

"That's a lovely name! I'm Jon," He told you. You looked up at him so you could shake hands with him. "Do you live around here?"

"Yeah, just a few blocks away," You nodded, pointing to the right of you. "Just down that way. What about you?"

"Yeah, a few blocks down the other way though,"

"Ah fair enough,"

"I assume you're dog person?" He asked after a long pause.

"Yeah, I've loved dogs all of my life," You smiled. "My dog passed away a few years ago, but I think I've moved on,"

"I'm sorry," He frowned.

"Yeah, it's okay, things happen," You shrugged.

"What were you doing walking around here?" He asked, as you stood back up.

"Oh, I was just going on a walk to get out of the house and get some fresh air,"

"Me too," He smiled. "No better way to do that than with a companion, hey?" He motioned towards Lucy.

"Of course," You smiled at the dog. "How long have you had her?"

"Just over 2 years now," He replied.

"That's cool," You grinned.

"I actually have to get going now, but um, hey, did you wanna catch up another time? You seem really cool," He blushed.

"Yeah, sure, actually, that would be great," You stammered.

"Here, my number," He handed you a piece of paper, before standing up. "It was lovely meeting you Y/N,"

"You too Jon," 

i know some of you guys would probably want a part 2 to this, but i doubt i'll write one, i'm sorry!

Life has been rough as heck recently, so I hope you've all been okay! Please take care of yourself and others, and remember you'll be okay <3

Remember to let me know if you have any requests that you want me to write about, I know quarantine can be tough haha
