Can I Ask You a Personal Question? || Connor x Fem!Reader || D:BH

Chapter 20

"Nervous?" I opened the trunk of the car for (y/n).

She shrugged and set her bag inside. "A little bit."

I gently touched her arm. "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen this time."

"You better not."

I gave her a soft kiss on the lips. (y/n) face was red when I pulled away. I closed the trunk, and went around to the side of the car to open the back door. (y/n) got into the back seat and scooted to the middle so that I could sit next to her. I noticed Hank was wearing a smirk. "What is it, Lieutenant?"

He shook his head and put the car in drive. "Nothin."

During the drive, (y/n) dozed off on my shoulder. It wasn't a very long drive, but she seemed tired, so I let her rest.

The sun had set and a light snow started to fall by the time we got to our hotel in Lansing. Hank parked the car. "You wait here, I'm gonna go check in."

I nodded. "Got it."

Hank got out of the car and went inside the hotel. I glanced at (y/n), who was still asleep, and  rested my head on top of hers. She hummed happily and snuggled closer to me. After a few minutes, Hank came back out to the car and knocked on the window by my side of the car. "Come on, let's go."

I unbuckled my seat belt and opened the door. I turned around and unbuckled (y/n)'s seat belt for her, causing her to wake up. I smiled at her drowsy facial expression and picked her up bridal style. "Connor, I can walk," she mumbled.

Hank rolled his eyes at us. "I'm only getting my bag, just so you know."

"I'll come back out to get mine and (y/n)'s."

"Alright." Hank grabbed his bag out of the trunk, and I followed him to our room. He unlocked the door and went inside, dropping his bag on one of the beds. I lie (y/n) down on the other and swept the loose hairs away from her face. I left the room to go get mine and (y/n)'s bags. I came back to see Hank pulling his jacket on and (y/n) gone. I noticed the bathroom door was closed, so I assumed she was in there.

"Are you going somewhere, Hank?" I asked as I set the bags on the floor.

"Yeah. To the nearest bar."

"Oh... Okay."

Hank put his phone and wallet in his pocket and opened the door to leave. "I'll be back later. Don't get too crazy, alright?"

I tilted my head as he shut the door behind him. After a couple seconds, I grabbed the bags again. I sat (y/n)'s on the bed and mine in a chair in the corner of the room. (y/n) came out of the bathroom with a yawn, walked over to her bag, and began rummaging through it. "Where's Hank?"

"He went out for a drink. He'll be back later tonight."

"Does he do that a lot?"

I hesitated. "Yes. Though I think it has been less often since I moved in with him."

"That's good." She grabbed a pair of sleep pants and a t-shirt from her bag. "I'm gonna get changed." She went back into the bathroom.

I decided I would get changed as well. I put on my sweatpants and grabbed a black t-shirt from my bag. As I was pulling the shirt over my head, I heard a door open. I looked back to see (y/n). She averted her gaze and her face turned red. "Sorry. I didn't know you were changing."

I finished putting on the shirt. "That's alright. I'm finished now." I moved my bag and sat in the chair.

She walked over the bed, set her bag on the floor, and got under the covers. She looked over at Hank's bed then at me. "Where are you going to sleep? Wait, do you even sleep? Rhys has a sleep mode, do you?"

"Yes. I do. I'm just going to sleep in this chair."

She sat up. "That seems so uncomfortable."

I shook my head. "I don't mind."

"Oh please, Connor. Why don't you share with me?" she said patting the space beside her.

I hesitated. "I-I don't know, (y/n)."

"Come on, I don't bite!"

"Are you sure that's okay?"

She nodded. "I'm 100% sure." I slowly stood from the chair and went over to sit next to (y/n). I lie on my back, staring at the ceiling. She giggled. "What? Have you never been on a bed before?"

I glanced up at her and shook my head. "No."

She looked shocked. "You don't sleep in a bed?"

"No. I usually sleep sitting up."

"Well, shit. Sounds like Hank I need to have a discussion about that." She pulled the covers over me and lie down on her side, propping her head up on her hand.

"It doesn't bother me." I glanced at the covers. "Although, this is nice."

She smiled. "You don't have to lay on your back, silly. You look so tense." I rolled onto my side and looked at (y/n). She giggled. "There you go." She kissed me before turning off the bedside lamp and snuggling up to my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and waited for her to fall asleep before I turned on my sleep mode.

~Time Skip~

Outside movement detected. I opened my eyes to see Hank walking to his bag. He looked at me and whispered, "I thought I fucking told you not to get too crazy."

I opened my mouth to ask what he meant but quickly closed it again because I didn't want to wake (y/n).

Hank chuckled. "I'm just messing with yah." He went into the bathroom to get changed. I kissed (y/n) on the top of her head, and she let in and out a deep breath. I smiled to myself and went back into sleep mode. I think that I really do love her.
