Slow Burn (Clyde Logan x reader)

Chapter 3

Clyde wakes up with (Y/n) in his arms and he sighs, he should be feeling happy, ecstatic that she's here like this, but he's not. His mind is stuck on the fact he probably won't be able to see her for a while, that he won't get to hear her voice. He feels her stir against him, he smiles, "Good mornin', do you work today?"
(Y/n) opens her eyes and nods, cuddling into Clyde more. She doesn't want to get up, she'd be happy to lay here forever. She gently rubs his chest, "I don't wanna go, can't we just stay here forever?"
Clyde chuckles, "That would be nice, darlin'." He kisses her head and carefully gets up, stretches, "I'll make us breakfast, then we should probably get you back to the bar so you can get your car and get goin' to work." He doesn't want her to leave, but he knows that he can't have her involved in the plan.
(Y/n) gets up and stretches, her panties peaking out from under Clyde's Bob Seger shirt that she slept in. Clyde saw it, but he didn't want to bring attention to it. Mama Logan taught him to be a proper Southern Gentleman, and potentially embarrassing (Y/n) wasn't part of that. (Y/n) walks over to Clyde, looks up at him, "We could make breakfast together, if you want."
Clyde smiles, picks her up and carries her out of his room. (Y/n) giggles and holds on, her legs wrapping around his waist. She missed being carried like she was weightless. As Clyde walks into the kitchen, he gently puts her down, then gets out stuff to make breakfast.
(Y/n) starts making the eggs and the bacon, she burns some, just for him. Clyde makes pancakes, with some chocolate chips in them. He smiles at (Y/n), "Thanks for burnin' some bacon."
She smiles back, "Of course, I know how you like it." She flirtatiously winks at him and he blushes, looks back at the pancakes he's cooking. (Y/n) picks up a piece of burnt bacon that's cooled down a little, and holds it up for Clyde, "Here, handsome."
Clyde smiles and takes a bite, "Thanks, darlin'." He eats the last of the strip she offered him, his lips touching her fingertips, which causes (Y/n) to blush, but he doesn't notice.

As they pull up to Duck Tape, Clyde puts the car in park and looks at (Y/n), "Drive safe." He felt weird, he couldn't pretend like he would see her again.
(Y/n) felt like something was off, but brushed it off, she hugs him, which he returns, and she kisses his cheek, "I'll see you later." She gets out of his car, and walks to her car, waves at him and smiles, then drives off to work.
Clyde waits until her car is out of sight, and he covers his face with his hand, reminding himself that he's doing this for her, for a possible future together.

After getting arrested for driving through the front of the corner shop, Clyde sat in an interrogation room, and after he talked with the officers, he asked to see his family.
Mellie, (Y/n), and Jimmy walked in, (Y/n) walks straight over to Clyde as he was standing up, she wraps her arms around him, hugging him close. He wraps his arms around her, inhaling the scent of her hair. She pulls back and looks up at him, gently smacks his chest, "Clyde Logan! What the hell were you doin'?!? You know how to drive better than that!"
He took it because he did know what he was doing, but he couldn't tell her that. He sighs, "I know, I'm sorry, it was an accident."
(Y/n)'s expression softens, "Were you hurt at all? I should have asked that first, but God, Clyde, you scared me so bad."
Clyde smiles softly, happy that she cares so much, "I'm fine, darlin', everythin' will be okay."
(Y/n) sighs, "I hope so. They said you have a hearin' later today. I'll be there, I promise." Clyde kisses her forehead, then the officers tell her, Jimmy, and Mellie that they have to go, wait until the hearing. She lets go of Clyde and bites her lip anxiously, walks out with Mellie and Jimmy. She takes one last look at Clyde before going to the courtroom with them.
They all wait and after a while, everyone starts filling in the room, (Y/n) sees Clyde and her chest tightens, hoping he gets off easy.

Clyde was sentenced to 90 days, she wouldn't get to see him for 90 days! (Y/n) went home, crying, she gathered herself enough that she could run Duck Tape for the night. She talked to Earl, and they made a schedule for the next few months, so Duck Tape could stay open.

*A few weeks later*
(Y/n) got to see Clyde, she sees him walk in, wearing white and black scrubs. She tears up, "Hey."
Clyde hated that he made her cry, that she has to see this. He sits down next to her and she hugs him, "I miss you so much, all the time."
He holds her, strokes her hair, "I miss you too, it won't be long."
A tear escapes her eye, and she sighs, "Duck Tape is stayin' open by the way, Earl and I figured it out. I couldn't let your baby flounder."
Clyde wants to kiss her, tell her everything, but he'll have to wait.

(Y/n) goes to Clyde and Jimmy's trailer after she leaves the prison, she walks inside and goes straight to Clyde's room, climbs under his covers that smell like him. His hair products, his aftershave, the scents envelope her as she lays there. Sobs wrack her body as she curls up, thinking that maybe she could have done something to keep him safe. After an hour or so of crying, she falls asleep, tears stained on her cheeks.
She wakes up the next morning, packs up Clyde's things, since Jimmy was moving out. Jimmy helps (Y/n) and Mellie move Clyde's belongings into their house. She wears the Bob Seger shirt that she wore the last time she was there, and hugs it to her like a security blanket.
After everything was moved into the guest room, (Y/n) and Mellie talked. (Y/n) sighs, "I know he's smarter than what happened, I wish I knew why he did it."
Mellie bites her lip, "I don't know, but him bein' in there doesn't change how you feel about him, right?"
(Y/n) blushes, "Not at all, I still love Clyde, I just wish he was here." The conversation went on for hours, before they both decided to go to bed.
(Y/n) couldn't help herself, she slept in Clyde's bed that night, and she would for the rest of her life, if she could. His scent simultaneously comforted her and upset her. Many times in the night, she reached out for him.
While Mellie was going to get a drink of water in the early morning hours, she heard movement from what is now Clyde's room. She quietly opens the door and looks in, seeing (Y/n) hugging one of Clyde's pillows. She smiles to herself, thinking it's really sweet. She closes the door and goes back to getting water, before heading back to bed.

The day of the robbery, (Y/n) felt like all the Logan's were acting off, but she let it go. She went about business as usual. (Y/n) helps Sadie get ready for her pageant, happy to see her so excited. (Y/n) and Bobby were civil, for Sadie's sake, but she doesn't like how Bobby Joe treats Jimmy, like he's a terrible father.
(Y/n) stands off the side of the stage, watching her darling niece sing, her heart warming that Sadie picked her Daddy's favorite song at the last minute.
When Sadie wins, (Y/n) cheers, so proud! Sadie hugs her, "Thank you for helpin' me, Auntie!"
(Y/n) picks her up and kisses her cheek, "Any time baby girl." She carries Sadie out to Bobby Joe's car, hugs her one last time, "I'm so proud of you, I'll see you soon." She puts Sadie down, fixes the bag on her shoulder.
Sadie smiles, "Okay, night Auntie (Y/n), I love you!"
(Y/n) smiles, "I love you too, goodnight sweetheart."

Once (Y/n) walks into her house, she drops her bag in her room, then goes to Clyde's room and falls asleep. She sleeps in his room for the rest of the time that he's not there.
In the morning of Clyde's release, (Y/n) walks into her room, it looks like it hasn't been touched in months, except for her dresser and closet. She puts on a dress that Clyde has mentioned he really likes, and some cute heels. She does her hair up, but not so fancy that it looks like she spent a lot of time on it. She puts on a little mascara and some lip balm, then leaves to get Clyde from the prison.
