The 100 Imagines/Preferences

Can I Have This Dance?- Monty Green

Everyone swarmed around as Jasper brought a giant metal canteen into the clearing. You hung back, not wanting to get involved in the throng, instead ducking into the little tent Monty was using as his lab for the time being. He looked up when you walked in, dropping the cup he was holding onto the ground. You giggled as the liquid sloshed out onto your feet, and Monty scrambled to wipe it off.

'Oh my god (y/n) I'm so sorry'

You laughed 'Are you always this much of a hazard?'

He scoffed 'Me? Never'

You raised an eyebrow at him 'Are you drunk?'

He grinned 'What, you think I'd make all this and not save any for myself?'

'You save any for me?'

'But of course, madame'

'Oh my god you really are drunk'

He took a sip out of the cup he'd picked up 'Wasted. Happy Unity Day!'

You laughed and took the cup from him, drinking the rest of it before coming up for air coughing, throat burning.

'Would it hurt to put some sugar in here?'

'Oh come on, sugar? I thought you were a badass'

You crossed your arms in mock offense 'I am! Give me more of that'

You took the cup he handed you and you chugged it, enjoying the warm feeling in your stomach. Everything went hazy and you started to relax, settling down beside Monty. He grinned at you, eyes crinkling around the corners.

Oh fuck.

That smile.

You jumped up, face burning.

'Want to get out of here?'

The two of you emerged from the tent only to be intercepted by an extremely drunk Jasper, who slung one of his arms around your shoulder and the other around Monty's.

'Did you two have fun in there?'

You blushed as Monty stammered out 'I- uh'

Jasper grinned mussing up his hair 'Don't worry, I won't tell if you don't'

You mouthed to Monty 'Tell what?' as Jasper lurched away. We settled onto a log by the fire pit, a few inches of space between us. Monty shook his head and laughed, rolling his eyes

'Jasper'

You grinned, reaching out your hand out to muss up his hair a little more.

'Nice hair'

He laughed, shoving you 'Oh shut up!'

You noticed he didn't move back, just stayed with his shoulder pressed to yours. You could hear your heartbeat, and suddenly felt short of breath. Monty suddenly straightened up, swiveling his head around.

'You hear that?'

'Hear what Monty'

'The music'

'For someone who got locked up for this sort of thing, you have the worst tolerance I have ever seen'

'It's pretty'

You rolled your eyes. His head leaned into your shoulder and you froze, praying he couldn't hear your heart pounding against your chest. He stood up, holding out his hand.

'Monty what are you doing?'

'May I have this dance?'

You giggled 'You're such a dork' but reached out your hand and let him pull you up. He swept you into his arms, wrapping them around your waist, pulling you close to him. You hesitated for a minute before hooking your arms around his neck, leaning your head against his chest.

'Monty I still don't hear the music'

'Really?'

'No'

'Fine, I'll sing it to you'

He put his lips near your ear and swayed you to the beat of the song. His voice was clear and full of life, the kind of voice that makes you want to laugh and cry and dance all at once.

Whatever happened

To Tuesday and so slow?

Going down the old mine

With a transistor radio

Standing in the sunlight laughing

Hiding behind a rainbow's wall

Slipping and sliding

All along the waterfall, with you

My brown-eyed girl

You, my brown-eyed girl'

You looked up at him, surprised.

'Your voice is so beautiful'

He smiled down at you

'You're beautiful'

Your breath caught in your throat.

'Monty' you breathed, every part of your body charged with electricity. Time stopped as you looked up at the boy, gently leaning in. You closed your eyes and your lips met, soft and fluttering, sending tingles through your body. You pulled back and he smiled at you. You rested your head on his chest and giggled

'That was way too cheesy'

There was a whoop from across the clearing, and you took your head out of Monty's chest to see Jasper toasting you with a cup of moonshine.

'There you go Monty, I knew you had it in you!'

Monty looked at you blushing, biting his bottom lip gently.

'I like you (y/n), I always have. And I promise it's not the alcohol talking'

Your face split into a huge grin and you kissed him again, feeling him smile into your lips.

'I like you too Monty'

(A/N) This was so fun to write, I love Monty with all my heart. Please send requests! :)
