Free day :Conner x Reader by elizabeth laird
"Conner!" I call to my native american friend. "yes?" he looked at me with his brown eyes. I resisted the urge to melt. "Could we go on a horse ride down to the river nearby?" I question hopefully. He looked at me for a minute. "Sure" he said with a small smile. I grinned, grabbing his hand pulling him out the door. He doesn't usually like being touched, except if it was me. That made me feel special. We passed Achilles, who muttered 'kids'. I ran into the stables, hopping onto my horse, shadow. Conner jumped up onto his horse. We then continue silently to the river." It was quiet.. to quiet for my liking. I got an idea. "race you!" i yell taking off. I heard him chuckle, before following. I laughed feeling my (h/c) hair whipping behind me. I could hear the sound of water nearby. I grinned. Conner must've too because he went into full gallop. We ended up tying. I hopped off shadow, before plopping onto the soft grass by the water. Conner sat next to me. We were quiet for a while enjoying the sound of the water. "hey conner?" i ask. "hmm?" he hummed. How do you say your real name?" i question looking at him with my big (e/c) eyes. "ratonhnhake:ton" he said. I blinked a few times looking utterly lost. He smiled at my face and i pouted. " rah-doon-ha-gay-doon " he says slowly. "ra-doon-ha-gay-doon " i say careful to pronounce the foreign name right. "Good now put it together." he smiles. "R-ratonhnhake:ton?" is say more like a question. "exactly" he grins. " thats a mouthful" i say scrunching up my nose. He laughed. I huffed. I the scooped my hand into the river and splashed him. Now it was my turn to laugh at his expression. "y-your f-face!" i gigged. He growled playfully. He stood, picking me up with him before depositing me into the cold water. i surfaced and shivered. he smirked down at me. I grabbed his ankles and pulled me in too. i laughed as he came up sputtering. Of course, this led to an all out splash war. We finally got tired of splashing and dragged ourselves out of the water. " i win" i say getting up. "no you don't " he says looking at me. "do too " i argue like a little kid. He just shook his head. "what tired already?" i tease. when he didn't respond i smiled. "catch me if you can….. ratonhnhake:ton!" i called running off into the forest. I didn't need to look to see if he followed, i already knew he would. I ran until my feet hurt. I stopped, huffing. I looked around for the silent assassin. i didn't hear or see him. Nothing. Suddenly i was tackled from the right with a "gotcha!" We tumbled to the ground laughing. We came to a stop we him above me. I blushed. "Conner?" i question. He leaned down kissing me softly on the lips. I slowly relaxed and kissed back. We pulled away. I grinned. " we should have free days more often."
