Hello~ (Butcher Wally x Reader)

Chapter 14

You shrug.

...

Wally finishes up in the kitchen contemplating.

He hears footsteps only to guess it's you getting up to do something.

Wally knew he was probably giving you too much leniency and freedom but then he reassures himself that if he's proven wrong he'll just have to shorten the leash. It was very simple to him.

He stretched walking out from behind the croak seeing through the open panel into the living room seeing you stand there so... ᴾʳᵉᵗᵗʸ... you looked so simple and delicate. Just like a defenseless little lamb.

'...'

Yes. That's it.

You're just like a little lamb.
One that's stuck in a big dangerous world only just making it by.

He couldn't help but lick his lips.

The thought was entertaining at the very least.

He pauses, tilting his when he hears your voice for a moment.

You didn't seem to be talking to him.

Maybe you were to someone else..?

He pauses, his eyes narrowing.

He walks out of the kitchen.

Getting a better view ; you were on your phone. From what he could tell your brows were furrowed and from your posture you seemed to be in deep thought. Only to lessen when you shrug.

His own brows furrowed.

"Y/n."

You jult at the sound of your name being called.

"H-Huh?" You quickly turn around holding your hand to your chest.

"What are you doing?" His eyes analyze you looking you up and down, staying on the phone for more seconds than comfortable. "Were you talking to someone just now..?"

You can't help but gulp at the intensity. The light hardness from earlier disperses to almost nothing in seconds.

"N-No- I was talking to myself." Your voice cracks but quickly grows strength.

'Damit, come on Y/n!!' You mentally smack yourself.

'Don't be intimidated so fast!! Come on, hold it together!?! You're adjusting too fast to this type of treatment!!- You're in control. Just breathe. You didn't do anything wrong! Go back to your always calm collected indifferent self!!'

You fix your stance standing firmer in place.

"Is there something wrong?" You ask with a raised eyebrow quickly and efficiently putting on one of your calm and collected personas that you mastered so well over time.

His eyes narrow slightly even more before softening with curious amusement at my sudden mood change.

He looks you up and down one more time before giving a shrug stepping back.

"Ohhh~ nothing, guess I jumped to conclusions then. Silly, silly me~" He spreads his arms giving you a toothy grin but his eyes sparkled with something darker. Not helping that he was taller than you.

You do your best not to shiver nor gulp.

Wally continued talking in that playful tone, "Wellll thenn~" he drew out each of his words, "Guess I'll leave you alone then to you own devices."

Right when you think it was over his large hand suddenly reaches out cupping your cheek. His thumb caressing the skin. You're completely frozen tensing at the contact.

Your eyes trail over to his hand and the closer figure. His red eyes glinting in the lighting of the not very well illuminated apartment.

A sick grin is plastered onto his face that shouldn't be so handsome, especially for a killer.

*You didn't believe he was 'handsome' (yet) to your standards but you could admit he was attractive. Probably would make almost any woman fall to their knees. Fuck even men (And other genders). Little knowing of his dark nature until it's to late.*

You gulp trying your best to not step back on instinct.

"If I do by any chance find out that you were doing anything else then we'll have other things to deal with and I don't think you'd like that my dear." His voice holds a promise of unknown punishment that you didn't want to find out about.

You feel like you're drowning in his eyes. No even his mere presence.

You're unable to respond so you give a shallow nod and his grin widens, his hand leaves your cheek patting your head.

He then steps away and without another word or thought disappearing into the hallway.

You let out the breath you didn't even know you were holding. Your hands fall to your sides defeated.

...

You were back on the couch, your knees propped up your hands in your lap as you now try to figure out what to do about Oliver.

Maybe you could sneak away and meet Oliver in secret? No.. that wouldn't work.

Wally would quickly realize you're gone and god knows what will happen if and when he does.

You try to think of another way. You knew Oliver wasn't joking about coming here if I didn't follow through and you couldn't let that happen.

'...'
