Wrap Me in Gold ; Reader X Midas (Fortnite)

Chapter 4 | Sense of Comfort

You look at the man in front of you, frozen in your spot you struggle to find words to come out of your mouth. Thankfully, he filled in the awkward silence void for between you too. "Please, have a seat." He mentioned his left hand towards to the empty seat in front of him, folding his arm back together.

Damn was he hot. More than that! Sexy, handsome, beautiful, anything of those words times a hundred!His dark colored hair slicked to the side, his magnificent facial bone structure fitting him so damn well, jawline chiseled to the max, tattoos going up and down his neck driving you crazy as it couldn't fit anyone else but him and only him. Last but certainly not least, his eyes. Beautiful sparkling gold sitting to the left of his blind eye having a scar dragged upon it. That was it, the scar, it suited him so well, not to mention a scar can always make a man look 10x hotter but him, you knew no one else could pull it off like him. His eyes had that dead bored look but it made him look dark and dangerous, something you really liked about his appearance. Quickly snapping out of your thoughts, you made your way to the chair next to him.

You awkwardly eyed around the room not knowing what to say or what to do, but before you had to courage to say something, he spoke before you. "Tell me why you're here." He looked straight through you, as if he was trying to read if you were going to lie or not. "I- um, I honestly don't know.. I don't know how I even managed to get here..on this island." You looked up at him but quickly broke eye contact as you felt shy and awkward that someone as beautiful as him could look at someone as average looking as you. "You mean to tell me that you don't know where you are?" he shot you a confused look. "No, I do! I just, don't know how I got here.. if that makes any sense." You could barely explain yourself! You felt stupid, thinking that he might feel as though you are! "Not exactly, but, Rook managed to tell me that you somehow woke up in weeping woods? Care to explain that or what you can remember?"

You tried to think, you were home trying to play the damn game, and now you're in it. Theres just nothing else! It sounds beyond unbelievable. 'Do they even know where you're from? Earth? The real world? Do they know they're in a game simulation?' You wanted your own questions to the be answered but maybe he can help you with that.

"Well, I don't really know how I ended up there.. But I remember being home and trying to play this game..The one I'm in right now!" you began as he nodded, indicating that he in fact knew that they were in a game simulation. "and well, my screen glitched and I saw black. Next thing I knew, I woke up in weeping woods." You sounded crazy! What if he thinks you are crazy and throws you out not wanting to waste anymore of his time?! "So what you're saying is that you somehow transported from your real world, to hear?" He reviewed. "Yeah, sounds crazy but imagine how I feel about it." He read your face for a few seconds, thinking. "Interesting, I've never had anything like this happen before. So you have no contact on how to get home, no source of shelter, or money?" He asked as if it wasn't already obvious. "Nope, practically homeless...in Fortnite.." You couldn't believe that sentence came out of your mouth, and that you meant it!

He hummed in response. "How about this, you can help me around here with my work and in return I one, have you stay somewhere nearby. Two, make sure you get your daily necessities including food. And three, somehow find a way for you to get back home?" Would he really be willing to do that? It's a lot to ask for but, if he was the only person offering then you have no other choice than to take it. "Oh- uh, are you sure? That's a lot in return for your part, you don't even know me!" You felt bad and upset that it just might be pity that you're homeless, for now. "Trust me, I see potential in you and I wanna help you, I enjoy helping others and I know better than to let a lady like you out by yourself with no one to make you're okay." You blushed a little bit at his helping words. It comforted you, a lot. 'wow' you thought 'handsome and a whole ass gentleman?!'
