Bonzo's Revenge Part 3 (Ender x Reader)

              "He's more protective of her then ever, Anderson, their connection is growing and it's dangerous to his success"

              " Yes, I am aware but the way Ender respond to the situation was interesting. He didn't lay a finger on Bonzo and he know it's not over, but handled it well."

              " Y/n is sleeping in his room, Anderson. Doesn't that concern you"

              "Actually Graff it doesn't concern me. He is making sure that Bonzo can't touch her again and he is sleeping on the floor. The first time it happened she was exhausted from crying her eyes out. If you were in Enders place would you have woken her up to move her back to her bunk after everything that happened?"

              "That's not the point Gwen"

              "They are both still unaware that Bonzo was iced on Monday?" 

              "That is correct." 

              " Do me a favor Colonel. Leave them alone, let me handle this. Their emotional state is my job anyway."

              "It's your job until it starts interfering with their training, then I make it my job too,"  

              "Leave it alone."

              "Fine." 

Y/n POV

                Ender, Bean, Fly Molo, and I step through the gate after a battle that was slightly longer then most of our battles. It had been one exhausting week sense I told Ender about the incident and he was now always near me. I would never tell him because I can take care of myself, but I appreciated his constant presents. He was like a wall between Bonzo and me. I was thankful fo the protection. 

              Then there was the other incident. The night I came to Ender and told him about Bonzo, I had fallen asleep while Ender went to confront him. When Ender came back to his room he moved my legs onto the bed and it woke me up. I  was to tired to open my eyes or say something, I didn't care until I felt Ender move some hair out of my face and then it happened. He kissed my cheek and... and he told me he loved me. He thought I was asleep, of course but it happened all he same. 

               We stand up and reground ourselves. Then we find the rest of Dragon army and begin walking back to our quarters to wash up and change for lunch. Ender and I are chatting about something random when he pulls me aside. 

               " Y/n, I want to talk to you about something," Ender says, looking down. If I was correct then I could see a small blush on his cheeks. 

               " Sure Ender," I say "talk to me." 

               " It's really more of a private conversation," Ender says putting his hand on the back of his neck, still looking down. "Can you come to my quarters before lunch. I nod.

               We all head back to the bunks and I decide to shower. Then I change into my day clothes, my wet hair dampening  the upper back of the jumper and then I head to Ender's room. Ender is sitting on the floor with his desk, playing the mind game. He shuts it off as soon as I shut to door. 

               "Hi Y/n," Ender says quietly  

               "Hello Ender, " I say, trying to meet his eyes and then as and after thought I add "what's, up with you "

                " What do you mean."

               "You just haven't been yourself today" I say "anyway, what did you what talk about." Ender stands up and for the first time today, meets my eyes. 

                "Y/n, I'm in love with you," Ender says, somewhat quickly. I feel my eyes go wide and a freeze up.  "I have always loved you, I just didn't really now it until last week. Seeing Bonzo doing that to you put a different kind of fire in my soul and yet I didn't touch him and thats when I realized I was in love with you. I have always been willing to protect those I love for anything. Usually anything means beating the crap out of anyone who touches those I cared about but for you I was willing to leave Bonzo alone," he spits out, fast. I force my limbs to function as I walk over to Enders bed an sit down. "Y/n, I'm sorry I shouldn't have put this one you," Ender says, resuming his quite disposition. 

                 "Ender," I say patting that bed next to me "come sit".  Ender does come sit next to me, still looking down. "I love you too," I say though my tone sounds more like a revelation then a confession. 

                   "What," he questions. It's clear he doesn't believe me.

                   "Ender, I love you too," I say, more confident this time. Ender looks up at me with questioning eyes. I nod. Our lips meet and I feel like I understand the meaning of life. I want Ender more then I have wanted anything in my entire life and it all makes sense. I don't know how long we kiss, his hands running through my wet hair but when we break apart I feel like I have been reborn. Enders hand caress my cheek and he smiles, I smile too. Needless to say, we don't go to lunch that day.
