[Weak Hero X Reader] Romance 101 [OLD VERSION]

Moving Out

'Fuck,' You cursed as you went through the bills for the umpteenth time. 'Did I really miscalculate my budget?' Your savings had been used up way too fast. You had only calculated rent and cheap foods into your budgeting. You had forgotten to include the water and electricity bill. There was also the fact that you had splurged a bit on all that chocolate. 

'I can choose to pay for rent for another month or save that for food,' You pondered. Ultimately you decided that food was more important. You had lived on the streets in the past so you could handle living in the streets until you saved up enough money to find a place to live again. 

'Maybe I could stay at Jake and Kenny's place?' You shook your head at the idea. 'I don't want to be a burden,' You let out a tired sigh. 'I can resell the mini fridge for some won. I'll try to focus on work instead of hanging out with my friends. I need to earn more money,'

Alistair had already returned to the United States so you couldn't ask to borrow some money. Well, you didn't want to really borrow money from him. You had straight up told him that you didn't consider him a friend. It would be wrong to ask him for monetary assistance.

It was a bit tougher living on the streets, especially since you had to maintain a clean appearance for work and school, as well as do your homework in sometimes windy or rainy weather. You also had to avoid letting your friends know that you were now homeless. You kept your traveling backpack of supplies in your locker at work when you went to school. You knew you couldn't keep this a secret forever, but hoped that you could find a cheaper place or earn more money before they found out. 

You were sleeping in the park and laying on a bench. It began to pour but you didn't care. You had a fever and hoped that the rain would cool you down. Your school backpack was getting wet but you could care less about your homework getting drenched at the moment. 'I should've saved up more before leaving the guild. At least at the guild, I never went hungry and always had a warm bed to return to. I don't even have enough for a ticket back to the US so I can't rejoin the guild. I'm not going to go into debt by borrowing money to get a plane ticket,'

Your phone rang and you groggily answered it. At least your phone was waterproof so you didn't have to worry about it breaking. "What?"

"Wifey, are you alright? Your voice sounds hoarse,"

"I'm fine," You lied. "Just tired,"

"I can hear rain. You're not out in the rain, are you?"

"I'm just near a window. What do you want?"

"I wanted to thank you for taking care of me while I was sick so I bought you something,"

"Maybe some other time, Damien," You declined. "I really need some rest," You ended the call and tucked your phone back into your pocket.

Third Person POV

'Wifey sounded really sick,' Donald thought. 'She helped me get better when I was sick so I should go and help take care of her,' He drove over to her apartment building and entered the lobby. "Excuse me, which room is [Your Name] [Last Name] in?"

"[Your Name] [Last Name]?" The landlord who worked at the front desk asked. "She couldn't come up with rent for another month so she left. I told her that I could wait a few more weeks but she said she knew that with her current job, she wouldn't be able to gather enough money and didn't want to end up having to pay for another month. I hope that poor girl is alright and at least found a dry place to stay,"

'She doesn't have a place to stay?' Donald thanked the old lady and returned to his car. 'So I was right. She was outside. She also sounded really sick,' He called [Your Name] again but this time she didn't pick up. Donald decided to call Alistair.

"Hey Damien,"

"Are those gunshots?"

"Don't worry, I haven't gotten hit. Uh, I mean it's a video game!"

"..." Donald stared at the phone for a moment but shook his head. "Can you tell me where Wifey is? She's not answering,"

"She could be asleep. She puts her phone on silent if she's asleep,"

"She didn't have any money for rent and it's raining outside,"

"Check the nearest park,"

The call the ended. Donald could've sworn he had heard more gunshots and screaming, but decided to ignore it. Alistair didn't sound troubled at all so it must have really been a video game. It's not like Alistair was actually in a gunfight with someone, right?

Donald drove to the nearest park and found [Your Name] lying on a bench. "Wifey, why didn't you tell me that you had no place to stay?" He received no response. "Hey Wifey, you alright?" He noticed how pale she looked, a close shade to his own skin. He felt her forehead and frowned at how hot it was. Her breaths were rapid and shallow. 

Donald picked [Your Name] up bridal style, slung her backpacks over his shoulder, and gently brought her into his car. "I'm taking you to a hospital, alright Wifey? Hopefully you don't threaten a doctor or nurse when you wake up,"

Your POV

You groaned as you awakened to bright blinding lights. 'Is it already daytime?' You closed your eyes. 'The room is cold but not like windy cold. In fact, it feels like an air conditioner. Also, I feel warmer and dryer,' She slowly opened her eyes and allowed them to adjust to the new lighting. 'This isn't the park...It's a hospital room!?'

You jumped out of bed but a wave of fatigue caused you to fall forward. 'Damn it...I must be really sick...' You climbed back into the bed as you let out a string of curses under your breath. 'Why am I in the hospital!? I could've sworn I fell asleep at the park! I can't afford hospital bills!'

"Oh, you're awake!" A nurse entered the room. "How are you feeling?"

"As well as any other sick patient," Your voice was barely there. "How'd I get here?"

"Your boyfriend brought you here,"

Your eye twitched yet again and you fought the urge to snap at the nurse. "He's not my boyfriend," You sighed and leaned back against the bed. "How much are the bills?" 'If necessary, I will sell vampire organs on the Black Market! I told him I was fine!'

"Oh, your boyfriend covered the bills!" The nurse informed her. "You have such a wonderful boyfriend!"

"He's just a friend..." 

"I'll go call him in!" The nurse hurried out.

A few minutes later, Vampire Boy entered. He sat down in the chair beside your bed. "Move in with me,"

How would you respond if Vampire Boy said to move in with him?
