my first ever part 3!!
—————————
While, at times, going through the process of getting C/N to warm up to her was tiring, Y/N kind of liked the pursuit of watching his guard slowly come down brick by brick. The only real downside was that he hadn't officially stated they were bonded mates, meaning girls still flirted with him in hopes of being picked. Y/N was too shy to make the statement herself, and even if she could, the other students would probably just think of her as more of a clingy admirer than they already did.
But, it always felt nice when she would sit down next to him, or hug his chest, and he wouldn't react. It didn't seem like a lot, but it was progress from him stiffening up whenever she showed affection. Two weeks had passed since the nesting, and Y/N had packed it all away ready to be built again the next time.
B/N had followed Y/N in hanging around with the mean boys, and seemed to be getting along incredibly well with one in particular of C/N's friends. The group didn't pick on the pair anymore, as it had evolved into friendly banter. In fact, they were all sitting out on the quad one lunchtime, when Y/N turned to C/N and asked out of everyone else's earshot, "What's your favourite colour?"
"Why?" he said, his voice monotone, which was an improvement from the previous coldness.
"I need to get more blankets and stuff for next time, and I want you to like the nest," she explained, scribbling notes on to a notepad.
"Black."
"Thank you."
C/N didn't really know why she stuck around with him, and he didn't want to admit it, but he was getting way too used to her positioning herself at his side. To the point it felt genuinely wrong when she wasn't there.
Just as B/N made a joke that (surprisingly) made everybody laugh, thunder sounded from above and rain began to fall down. It started off as a gentle shower, but quickly became the epitome of 'chucking it down'. They all quickly gathered their things to head inside, but Y/N found it difficult to push through the wind fighting against her. That was, until, she felt an arm wrap around her and guide her inside, except, it wasn't C/N. It was one of his friends. The second she realised, she jumped away from him and cowered in fear.
"What was that about?" C/N snapped, roughly helping Y/N through the entrance of the school building. Despite the fact he had been a lot rougher than his friend, she hid behind him as if her life depended on it. It was the particular friend of C/N's that always made her uncomfortable.
"I was protecting her when you wouldn't," the friend sneered, ruffling his dampened hair.
"You had no right," C/N growled, alerting everyone his temper was rising.
"It's not like you're being a good mate, anyway," he continued, "You hardly show her any affection or attention. It's a wonder she sticks around with you."
Inhaling sharply, he said, "What I do with my mate is none of your business."
"Prove it."
"Prove what?"
"That you can be a good mate. C'mon, she's right there."
C/N spun around and looked Y/N up and down, muttering under his breath, "Damn mating responsibilities," before taking her by surprise by picking her up. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around his waist, burying her face into his neck, as he carefully held her in his grasp like a baby koala. "Feel warmer now, baby?" he whispered, making her nod into the crook of his neck. Y/N couldn't see, but C/N glared very harshly at his 'friend' before heading over to the dorm quarters. They both had last period free, anyway, so he took her to his bedroom.
While he changed into pyjamas, Y/N got into a hoodie of his in the bathroom.
He finished before her, and went to stand outside the door, tapping lightly before saying softly, "I'm sorry for not paying much attention to you. In all honesty, I wasn't expecting to have a mate so soon."
The door opened, to reveal her standing there with a baggy hoodie so big the sleeves covered her hands. "You were the one that kissed me," she mumbled.
"I didn't think you would kiss back," he said.
"I wouldn't have... but it... it relieved the pain..."
"C'mere," C/N opened his arms, allowing Y/N to walk into his embrace. After a few seconds of staying there, he said, "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Next time, can I help you build the nest?"
At the very question, Y/N's eyes lit up.
It was the next day when he was walking down the corridor, and saw a guy flirting with his mate and making her uncomfortable. Rage filled him, and while he had promised he would try to be nicer, he couldn't explain the protectiveness and jealousy he felt. Probably the whole mating bond thing.
So, he did what was most logical: prove to everyone that she was already bonded and unavailable. They would almost definitely leave her alone, as he was practically the alpha male of the school.
"Noah, look, I told you! I'm not interested," Y/N said tiredly, shifting further away from the boy that only moved closer again, "Leave me alone!"
"A pretty girl like you can't be going around unmated... allow me to fix that for you-"
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" C/N growled, pushing Noah away from Y/N.
"Oh, C/N..." the colour drained from the boy's face, "I was just- I was just flirting..."
Rolling his eyes, C/N took him roughly by the collar and whispered threateningly, "Touch my mate again and I won't hesitate to rip you apart. Got it?"
Noah nodded in terror.
"Good," Y/N's mate spat, dropping the boy and watching him scatter down the corridor. As always, he had attracted a crowd, so gave a fleeting glance to them all before grabbing Y/N by the waist and slamming his lips on to hers. When he finally separated from her, leaving her breathless and in shock, he said lowly to everyone, "Anyone who harms Y/N in any way, shape, or form is fucking dead to me."
All she could think was: what the fuck had she gotten herself into?
But, as it turned out, he could be an amazing partner. And she didn't get picked on anymore.
