Ender Game One Shots

Caught (Ender x Reader)

This is in first person, you and Ender are 14 (I know, I know at this point they would be much younger but you'll get the idea).  My interpretation of Ender in this is he lets go of the seriousness of being a commander when he is around you. I decided to do the thing were  Anderson and Graff have a conversation at the beginning of a chapter in the one shot. 

" Anderson, they are growing a strong emotional connection and it needs to stop"

"I know, but have you ever though that maybe this girl is what is keeping him going, Colonel? Y/n has power you know, if she were to tell him to quit he would do it, for her."

"I am well aware of that predicament Major, thats why I need you to control the situation."

"I'm afraid we let it go to far, if we tear them apart now we could damage them both"

"I'm telling you to fix it, Major"

"I'll talk to the boy tonight"                    

Y/N POV

           I roll over in my bunk quietly waiting for Ender to come out of his quarters and wait for me outside the dormitory of Dragon Army.  I loved Ender but there was an unspoken rule at battle school that relationships aren't allowed, not when the survival of humanity was a stake. That's why we resort to sneaking around after hours like this. I roll over again, was Ender ever going to show up? He was never this late. We didn't actually have a clock in the dormitories, but Ender had one in his commanders quarters and he usually came to get me around 10:30(30 minutes after lights out) but I could tell it was much later then that. Finally, I here his light footsteps out in the hallway. He knocks on the wall twice and I slip out of the bed then tiptoe out to the door. Ender is leaning on the wall, a small smile forming on his beautiful lips. 

          " Hello darling," he says grabbing my waist and spinning me around. 

          " Ender, your late," I answer, giggling at his romantics. Ender slowly and tenderly presses his lips to mine and kisses me carefully and then pulls back and looks at me. 

           " No, I'm not my love, 10:30 on the dot," he says looking slightly confused. Then he smiles. "I guess you just couldn't wait to see me." 

              I let him kiss me for about minute and then break off his lips from mine. "Ender, I would love to continue this, but I would like to remind you that we are standing in the middle of a public hallway," I say, emphasizing the public. Ender rolls his eyes, his teasing smile still plastered on his face. I take his hand and drag him across the hallway to his quarters. "We really ought to be more carful," I say once we are safely concealed in Enders quarters. 

           "Sir yes sir," Ender says, straightening up and saluting me. I roll my eyes. 

            "Ender, I'm serious we are going to get caught and we won't see each other again," I say pleading with him to listen. Ender was a very serious, good, fair commander but when it was just the two of us he tended to let go a little, even when I needed to talk to him about something serious. Lucky for me I see Enders smile drop a bit as he walks toward me. He warps he arms around me and I snuggle into his chest. 

            " I know darling, I'm sorry," he says softly resting his chin on top of my head. Ender is about 5'11 and I am about 5'4 so he is much taller then me. It wasn't like Ender was overly tall or anything, I'm pretty short. Ender pulls back and drags me over to his bed. He spins be around and I lose my balance and topple onto his bed. When I sit up Ender is sitting down on his bed too. 

             "You know I hate it when you do that Ender," I say quickly 

             " I know, y/n," he says " but lets be real, you love it."

             " Lets be real, Ender," I say teasingly "when has the great commander, Ender Wiggin ever said "Lets be real"."

             " Anything can happen when I'm with you," Ender says chuckling. He pulls me over to him and kisses me. I roll my eyes but kiss him back.  I always enjoyed kissing Ender, from our first kiss. He kissed with emotion that makes me feel like I know everything about him.  I look at the clock. It's 11:00. 

              " Ender, we should go to bed it late," I murmur into his lips. 

               "Okay, okay," he says. I move under the covers. He smiles down at me and then snuggles down with me. He wraps his arms around me and I let myself fall into his embrace.

                 When I fall asleep Ender usually was awake for a while afterwards but tonight I feel him drifting off to sleep much quicker then I was. We had two battles today, he was probably exhausted. He really is one of the most incredible people I've ever met. 

               That's when it happened. The door slowly creeped open. I knew I was screwed as Major Anderson opened the door. Shock spreads across her face and I close my eyes, slowly breathing in and then opening them, breathing out.  When my eyes are open again, Anderson's facial expression had softened. I look at her and plead with her through my eyes. Don't do this to us please, not tonight. It's been a long day, I think. Anderson seems to understand and she smiles softly. She starts to shut the door but then she opens it just a bit again. 

               " Just be careful," she whispers to me. I nod. She smiles one more time and then walks out of the room. Tonight, we got lucky. I take a couple deep breathes and then carne my neck to check Ender is still sleeping. He is, I look at his calm face for a minute before turning back around and feeling the safety of Ender's embrace. That night I slept peacefully, knowing that we were safe from discovery, for now.
