"I'm not the monster on the inside." • [Tom x Reader]

𝟜. Tom?!

Last chapter:
I pulled a blanket over us and held her close once again. "I love you Tom," I heard y/n say. She sounded exhausted. I was exhausted myself too. "I love you too y/n," I said as I nuzzled into her. We stayed close together as we soon fell asleep.

Tom POV

The next day after our long night I woke up before y/n. I slowly sit up and rubbed my eyes before looking over at y/n. I smiled softly before stretching a getting a few pops from my back.

I decided to do something nice for y/n and make breakfast for her. I got up from the bed and put on sweatpants.

I smiled looking back at y/n. She looked adorable when she slept. Once I got up I went to my closet and got a hoodie out. I set it near her along with a pair of shorts that were too small on me. I then left the room to go downstairs and start making breakfast.

I'm not really too experienced with cooking... not at all. But I hope I can make something decent for her...

Y/n POV

I woke up to the smell of something... something burning!!

I quickly sat up. I saw the cloths set out for me and quickly put them on before running out of toms room and downstairs. "Where's The fire?!" I asked in a panic.

Tom just looked over at me and smiled. "There is no fire. I was trying to- uh- make pancakes..!" He says showing me a plate that has two Burt pancakes on them. I sighed but smiled walking over, "do you need help?" I asked him. I checked the batter he made and it actually was perfect... he just didn't know how to cook it.

"No it's ok y/n, I was trying to make something for you and let you rest after last night," Tom says walking over to me after he sets down the plate. "No it alright Tom. I can help you out," I said chuckling. I saw him blushed a bit, he probably got a bit embarrassed but I was happy to help him out.

"So what you do is pour some of the batter in the middle," I said as I began to pour some of the pancake batter in the middle of the pan. "Now you wait for all the Bubbles to stop popping and once that happens you flip it over to cook the other side." I said as I flip the pancake to reveal a perfect golden brown color. "And then every now and then you check the other side to see if it's ready since you can't really tell," I said as I showed him. I lift the pancake up with the spatula to check under a few times before putting it on the plate, "and there you go!" I said grinning.

"Thanks.. so uh.. I don't need a timer for pancakes?" He asked me. I shook my head no, "only if you make waffles, but the waffle maker already has a timer built into it," I said. I gave him the plate and kisses his cheek, "I can make the rest for us, go eat," I said smiling as I poured more of the mix onto the pan.

"Are you sure? I was making all of this for you since you cook all the time." Tom says behind me. I nodded, "of course Tom, don't worry about it." I said softly as I flip the pancake. "Did you make a thing else?" I asked him.
