Wishing for a Redrom Kankri x Reader
A/N: Don't own anything but the plot of this story!
Now I enjoy being single as all you have to worry about is yourself and any close friends and family...right? I found myself sad and miserable whenever I would try a new romance, enjoy the high of spending time and sharing secrets with someone you risk feeling red for...no more for this woman, as I'm tired of being used, and treated like I'm unworthy of anything good in life.
That's where I made a promise to myself...if a man really wants to have my attention, I'll let him, but only if he's going to keep me for keeps. Not just go out with me for fun until he wants to get serious and drop me like yesterday's trash.
That's why it's easy to just keep it simple, as then life is easier, though I do find myself sighing deeply when I see couples.
I understand some find their mates easier than others, but come on! I know there's one for me...where are they?
Little did I know...they were closer than I would ever have guessed.
I was working just doing my usual thing, working and working...bills and the other have to be paid to get by, but it's not so bad as...well speak of the devil. I smiled as I saw one person who could always make me happy, with little effort...though he didn't think so at all.
"_, fairing well I h9pe?" Kankri asked with a small smile.
"Yes, thanks for asking Kankri!" I answered easily. Though I couldn't help a soft sigh passing my lips.
"Are y9u sure, _? I kn9w you d9n't like w9rring 9thers with pers9nal matters, 6ut...it's n9t rec9mmended h9lding it all in, it's n9t healthy espec-"
"Enough Kankri...I know how my body is, and as much as I love listening to you speak, you could be triggering others." I stated cutting off the trigger happy troll, before he started another lengthy lecture.
He huffed, knowing I caused a trigger, but he sighed deeply almost in defeat as he knew it was no use lecturing me. He chose to just state, "D9n't w9rk s99 hard, _. Y9u d9 have P9rrim and myself to lean 9n." I give him my traditional smile and nodded in understanding.
"Best not to keep her and Kanaya waiting though, as they don't like it when you're late." I stated with a giggle as I saw him pout. "I know you enjoy my company, but we'll see each other later Kankri we are room mates after all!"
"True. I'll take my leave, d9 take care at least f9r me, _?" He requested shortly before walking away.
"I will, Kanny! It's easy with good moirails like you in my life!" I stated before he left, myself having a sad smile on my lips.
I was surprised when he came to be closer to me, than Porrim as they knew each other longer, me even believing they were an item. Porrim laughed and filled me in on her quadrant with him. I'll admit I did develop a little crush on the trigger happy troll, but just kept the feelings pale as I didn't want to ruin a good thing. She loves stating some impossible things, and myself just shaking my head and rolling my eyes at her.
I'm pretty good when it comes to knowing when someone feels more than pale feelings for me, and I get something a bit more than pale, but it comes off as him caring for a sibling at best. What with his personal space and his vow. Though why do I see him have such sad longing looks with my past relationships? Granted most of them were mistakes, but rather love than not to love at all. Maybe it's more, but that could just be me imaging things, as he has no desire to break his vow.
I stopped being hopeful, as no man as of yet, shown me the commit of a lasting redrom. I shook my head once again as I continued my tasks for the day.
"I'm home, Kankri! Porrim!" I stated as I opened the door to our shared flat.
Porrim smiled as her eyes landed on me, her being the first to welcome me home. I wasn't the only one who worked, oh no. She helped her danscestor Kanaya with her fashion company, and Kankri...well, he has his sermons, and helps Kanaya from time to time as a model.
Now he maybe my friend, but I can't stop myself from admiring his looks from time to time as he is quite handsome even for a troll. It doesn't help when he drags me along, always getting me to take part when Kanaya is short of some helping hands. The two Virgo trolls tell me he has it bad for me, but I just brush it off, myself not ever seeing proof. Granted I can hug and at times I've held hands with him, but friends are allowed to do that with one another, nothing big as I always warn the guy as I don't want to upset him.
I shake my head keeping myself from dwelling on thoughts that would only depress me.
"_, Kankri had so+mething he needed yo+ur help with, I think he's still in his ro+o+m?" Porrim suddenly declared snapping me out of my thoughts.
I rolled my eyes at her, and just went with it. She wouldn't leave me alone if I ignored it, and I can't leave a friend hanging either. She has been trying to hook the two of us up ever since she saw "signs" of red feel advances. Most if not all landing me with lectures with the red sweater troll. That's why I feel it's pointless to even try as he oblivious doesn't see me more than just a sister.
I lightly knocked on his door, before asking "Kankri, can I come in? Porrim stated you need help with someth-" I didn't finish as I came to a site that had me blushing hard.
He wasn't wearing his usual sweater, no he was wearing a red collared shirt unbuttoned revealing his bare chest and stomach. My mouth agape as I wasn't used to seeing my friend like this, let alone half naked! Just what did I get myself into this time?!
"9h, _. Just the pers9n I wanted t9 see!" He smiled not even triggered by me coming in without his permission. He came closer. "I wanted y9ur 9pin9n 9n this?" He asked as he gestured to himself.
The only thing I could do was nervously chuckle words refusing to come out of my mouth. Though my thinkpan was working just fine!
You gotta be joking, Kanny! Why do you need my help with this? Porrim is more than capable of giving you a better opinion than me! I can't even speak let alone sound like a fool nervously chuckling and becoming a flushed mess!
I couldn't stop myself from slowly backing away, as the situation was getting too hot for comfort. I was jolted out of my daze when my back hit his door, now when did he?
"N9w that's a new reacti9n, _. S9me times I can't tell with y9u. Th9ugh, that's what makes life m9re fun. I truly enj9y the reacti9ns I receive when I'm in y9ur presence." He came closer to the point he had me trapped against his door, our bodies almost touching. "9ne that I c9uldn't help 6ut fall f9r, 9ne that I give up my v9w f9r...9ne pers9n that I've 6een l99king f9r all this time." He was hesitant at first but slowly wrapped his arms around me in a tender embrace. "Will y9u d9 me the h9n9rs 9f filling my red quadrant, _?" He looked into my eyes. "6e mine, and I 9nly 6e y9urs?"
I stared into his red eyes, finding myself getting lost in them. There really was hope for someone like I, after all. It was with me all this time...I smiled as I continued to look into his ruby hued orbs.
"I thought you never ask. I'd be a fool not to say yes to someone like you."
He smiled once more before closing the gap between us. My eyes fluttering close as our lips met. At first it was a light kiss that easily turned into one filled of passion and longing. I pulled away first, the two of slightly flushed.
He chuckled, and whispered into my ear, "I wanted t9 d9 that f9r wh9 kn9ws h9w l9ng...g9g such a g99d wish t9 c9me true."
"Yes, it truly was a good wish for a red romance."
