Ethan x Reader (Pt. 2)

Now here we are, in the classroom waiting for the meeting to start. Lawrence seems to be extremely focused on a map up on the wall, probably scouting out the next supply run. I'm kind of pouting in my little corner, but hide my emotions as much as I can. I look to my left and see Zion enter the classroom, and walk towards me.

Once he gets near me, he leans his back on the wall and puts his foot up on it for support. He looks ahead at Lawrence.

"Where's Ethan?" He whispers, still looking ahead as though to not catch attention. "Cooling off." I respond in an annoyed tone. Zion was like a big brother to me. Ever since we met, he's always been pretty overprotective of me, in a sibling type of way. That would explain his next reaction. "I swear to god, if the son of a bitch hurt you-" He said a little too loud. "Zion," I put my right hand on his shoulder. "I'm fine. I'm a big girl." We both let out a slight chuckle and he walks over to go talk to Jay and Scarlett about something.

I return my attention over to the map Lawrence is planning on, then to the door frame. Where is he anyway?, I thought. I'm still upset, but now a pit of concern is mixing with it.

Suddenly, Ethan walks through the door, now looking more tired than before, if that's even possible. He goes and takes a seat by Eugene, who's been strangely quiet. Lawrence calls the meeting into action.

"Alright. So, unfortunately, the normal spots we check are running very low on supplies. I'm afraid that we may have to start some new routes and go even farther than we have before." My eyes widen. Lawrence is asking us to up the risk for more supplies, and I know everyone's gonna force Ethan to be the first one to go on runs with them, since he's one of the strongest here. Ethan glances at me as Lawrence says this, looking for some type of reaction (which he got one), and then looked back down at the ground.

"Obviously, me and Ethan will go. We need four other volunteers though." My heart drops as Lawrence says this. I don't know why. I'm not usually concerned like this and, I'm angry at Ethan right now! Shouldn't that make the pit in my stomach feel less large?!

After Lawrence says this Eugene, Zion, Harry, and Sue all raise their hands, and the meeting is dismissed. Everyone except for me and Ethan leave the classroom, and I go over to look out the window. I assume he wants to talk, but I'm all over the place and am not sure what I'd say.

Then, I hear Ethans feet shuffle behind me and stands there. "Hey..." he says in a low and quiet tone. "Hi..."

"I'm sorry about earlier, y/n. It's just that... when you do stuff like that, it scares the crap outta me." He says. I turn around to face him. He's closer to me than I thought, and I back up a bit, running into the wall as I lean on it. "Why? Why does it scare you so bad?" I question. "Because... Because.." he seems to be getting more and more frustrated ever time he says 'because'. He knows the answer, but he doesn't know if and how he wants to say it. "God dammit Y/n!" He yells as he lunges forward and grabs my sides, up right about where my ribs are. He slams me up against the wall and then slams his lips up against mine. He's gentle and careful, but aggressive with me at the same time. He lifts me up, still on the wall, just so that he can stand properly, and I wrap my legs around his waist, and my arms around his neck. As I run a hand through his hair, I figure that this is the answer to the question I asked.

He pulls his lips away, still holding me against the wall, and just stares into my eyes with a bit of a worried look. He tightens his grip on me and starts to talk.

"Because, I love you, y/n. Because I love you so much the thought of just you getting hurt, not to mention killed, brings me to actual, physical pain." He whispers as his eyes fall to the ground, as though not able to look me in the eye. I hold my hand up against the side of his head, right next to his ear, and push his head up so that he looks at me. "I love you too..." I whisper. "Everything will be fine, Ethan. We'll make it through this together."
