Strictly Professional ~ Onceler x fem reader fanfic

Four days you had been in your room, more depressed than before. So many emotions flooded through you that you really couldn't handle. You hadn't answered your phone before Onceler called one evening.

"Y/N? Are you Ok? Where are you?" He sounded worried.

"Home, why?" You tried to sound as normal as possible, but your voice was noticeably different.

"I'm worried, I'm coming over"

"No! Please don't" Before you could say anything else, he hung up. You tried to make yourself look better, but gave up as you cried even more at your exhausted appearance. You ended up falling back onto your bed, puffy red eyes from crying so much.

"Y/N? I know you're in there open up!" He knocked on the door, no response. Thankfully, he knew where you kept the spare key. He opened the door, taking in the mess of your usually clean penthouse.

"Y/N? Don't hide from me" He said hesitantly, walking through the apartment. He got to your bedroom door, hesitantly opening it. He was shocked at what he saw. You shot up in the bed, adjusting your eyes.

"What the-" He took in your appearance, messy hair, red puffy eyes. He gasped in shock. He turned on the light, earning a groan from you.

"What are you doing here?" You said maliciously.

"What do you mean? What's wrong with you I'm worried." He got on the bed, nearing you. You scooted away from him.

"I know what you are Onceler" You said, taking a swig from the whiskey bottle beside you. He just stared at you.

"A filthy businessman who has no regard for anything or anyone around him. Don't pretend you're not." You said, slurring your words.

"Where's all this coming from Y/N? I love you, I don't understand-"

"YOU! MODIFYING MY MACHINE LIKE YOU OWN IT. YOUR KILLING THEM!" You screamed.

"Oh." He said blankly.

"You don't love me. You don't love anyone. You love the power"

"That's not true Y/N, I love you" He said, slipping his hand into his pocket.

"NO YOU DON'T! YOU FUCKED WITH THE MACHINE AND YOU KILLED THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS AND TREES SO THAT YOU COULD MAKE MORE MONEY!"

"Thousands?"

"YES!"

"If you must know, modifying the machines was my mothers doing. I was told they were making them more refined to my companies objective." He said. You looked at him blankly.

"Do. Not. EVER. Fuck with my machines. AGAIN!" With that, you collapsed, mumbling about how he didn't really love you.

"Listen, Y/N. If I didn't really love you, would I have bought this?" You looked at him, holding a velvet box in his hand.

"What is that?" You asked, wiping the tears from your eyes.

"Take a guess." He opened the box, revealing a ring.

"I had something more romantic planned, but I guess this is how we're doing it" He said, kneeling on the bed.

"Y/N L/N, will you do me the honour of being my wife?" He said, you were absolutely shocked.

"What?"

"Ugh, Y/N L/N, will you-"

"YES! OH MY FUCKING YESS" You hugged him, the world around you disappeared in an instance. He laughed before kissing you passionately. He had actually fucking done it.

"Y/N, we really need to clean this place up y'know?" He said, you sighed against his chest, hearing his heart beat made you feel so comfortable in his arms.

"Tomorrow"

"Tomorrow"

Tomorrow. You both got to work on cleaning the penthouse, head to toe. Onceler paused, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"I'm making you quit smoking again Y/N" He said.

"Planning on it. While we're at it, I'm making you fire your mother" You said, seeing the shock on his face.

"That's not your call, Y/N"

"Then I guess I will just smoke myself to death" You said, reaching for a packet laid on the table. He grabbed your hand to stop you.

"How about, she gets removed from an advisor role to a supervisor? And you quit smoking." He asked

"Deal. And fix those fucking machines while you're at it." You added, Onceler nodded, grabbing your hand and shaking it.

"Deal." He said, you both got back to cleaning the house. You caught Onceler up on what the Lorax said had shown you.

"I didn't know Y/N, it will be fixed I promise."

"I know. Don't let me down Once" You warned, he nodded.

"Without you, my mom probably would've sucked me dry by now" He joked, but you could tell he was being serious.

"Yeah, she didn't seem like a very nice person to be honest." He nodded, accepting the truth about his mother.

"Y'know, she told me to dump you a while back." He said out of the blue.

"And what did you say?"

"I said that I could make my own decisions for myself and that there was no way in hell I would break up with you." He said, you chuckled.

"And that's why we're engaged" You laughed, throwing a discarded pillow at Onces face.

"No fair!" He threw it back at you. You mustered an angry face before picking up another and throwing it at him. You fought with the pillows for a while before finishing up the house.

"Good as new!" You stared at your now clean house, Onceler grabbed your waist.

"Please tell me if you ever feel this low, I'm always gonna be here for you Y/N" He kissed you.

"I love you Once"

"I love you more Y/N"

You ordered a takeway, getting comfy on the sofa and watching a romcom. Onceler said he would've preferred to watch a horror but you said "My house my rules" To which he rolled his eyes. You fell asleep on the couch and he carried you to the bedroom, letting you fall asleep in his arms. Although the depression had been bad, Onceler made you feel so much better.

You were content.
