Far From Home (Viperion X Reader)

Chapter Fifteen

    this chapter is dedicated to LexieDavenport

              This is Cat Noir's  house. I'm in his bedroom. But, who is Adrien? Could that be his real name. I need to stop thinking about that because it's the least of my worries now. I need to get out of this cramped space before I lose my patience and before Percy needs to be fed. I stroke her nose and scratch her fur. I just need her to be quiet. The bed sags with weight as Cat Noir lands on it. I hear him say Claws in. And then, I hear a much lighter voice whining about cheese and whatnot. God! It looks like I'll be stuck here a while.
         
         Several minutes later I'm hearing the click of the door and I peep out from my hiding spot. I stretch momentarily, glad to be out in the open. With Percy tagging behind me, I struggle successfully to pry the window open before jumping out and finding my way back to the street. A second later, Percy is behind me and I find myself walking back to the hotel. Today was already too dramatic. I just want to stop and rest.
          As the elevator closes, I slide down and rub my temples. Percy pushes against me and I let one hand idly stroke her while she purrs. This morning was certainly... eventful. My phone and the elevator ding simultaneously. I hurry off to my room as I take my phone out. Its a message from Leah, asking if I'm OK. I check and the time is two pm. How time flies. After ordering lunch - I realised I haven't had anything to eat - I lay back on my bed to text Leah and relax.
           But, before my head makes contact with the pillow, my doorbell rings. It can't be the food. Groaning, I stand up to answer it. As soon as I see the person on the other side of the door, I just want to shut it and go to sleep.
           It is Viperion and he seems to sense that I'm about to shut him out because he slides in before I can close the door.
           "Hey!"he exclaims with a winning smile. I plop myself on my bed and cover my face with a pillow as he makes himself comfortable on a couch across the room.
           "What are you doing here?" I manage.
           "Checking on my favorite girl."
This makes me smile a little. I sit up, facing him.
          "Why are you really here?" I say. He presses his lips into a thin line and keeps silent. I stand up from the bed and sit beside him. Almost. There's still like, an arms length distance between us.
            We sit like that for a while before I grow impatient and snap my fingers in his face.
            "He got Master Fu," is all he mutters and I try to process before my food arrives. I get him to explain while hungrily diving into my food.
All he has to say is a note he found left for him and the others by Master Fu. He said he was being held hostage and  that the miracle box, an old box containing all the magic jewels, was also with Hawkmoth.
            He finished with a resigned, "Its all over."
            Not knowing what to do when someone was down, I scooted closer to him and awkwardly put an arm around him, hoping this was the right move. He hugged me back and I ruffled his blue-green hair. In that moment, it all felt right. My shitty morning and his shitty day.

I hope I did it well. This chapter is somewhat shorter.

a) I need an updating schedule. Right now, its just when I feel like which could be two days in a row, or DAAYS apart. And, I hate it. Anyone have any ideas?

b) Should I continue with the whole Xreader thing? I don't think I'm very good at it.
