Saving the Broken (Connor x Deviant!Reader)

Connor's POV

I was sleeping peacefully with (Y/n) beside me when I heard her scream. I was up in an instant, seeing her shaking and crying. I quickly tried to comfort her.

"Shh, it's okay. I'm here, love. You have to relax, okay? I'm right here." I soothed her as she curled up in my arms. Her body wouldn't stop shaking, her eyes were wide with terror, and she couldn't stop crying. "(Y/n), it's okay. I'm here. Nothing has happened. It was just a nightmare, love." I told her.

"C-Connor...it was so real! It was so real! I can't! I can't, Connor!" She cried, gasping for breath involuntarily even though she didn't really need it. There was only one thing I could do.

"(Y/n), look at me. Look at me, love." I told her. She looked into my eyes and already began to calm down. I kissed her forehead. "I'm right here. You're safe. Nothing bad happened." I assured her. She calmed down and cuddled up to me.

"I...I'm sorry." She said.

"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. Besides, I'll always be here for you." I said.

"Connor?"

"Yes, (Y/n)?"

"Can...can I have a kiss?" She asked. I chuckled, tilting her head up with my index finger.

"You never have to ask, love." I replied. She smiled a little before I leaned in and kissed her. She kissed back softly and I pulled her in closer to me, allowing myself to feel her heartbeat. It was in sync with mine. After that, I continued to hold her as she cuddled up to me and fell back asleep in my arms. I smiled, but I heard a soft click come from the door. I frowned. I already know who had been listening and I knew that none of that would've made him happy. He must've heard her scream. I concluded. I didn't know what I was going to do about Oreon. He still was cold toward me, but I didn't know what else I could do to change his mind.

I thought about having a day with (Y/n) to get some time away from him. I had heard very little about dating, so I decided on going to talk to Hank about it the next day. For the time being, I decided rest would be beneficial for myself as well. I closed my eyes, listening to her soft, calm breathes. I smiled softly. "Goodnight, (Y/n). Sweets dreams, angel." I whispered before falling asleep beside her.

Oreon's POV

"AAAAHHH!" I shot awake as I heard (Y/n) scream in terror. I instantly thought something had happened with Connor. She'd never woken up screaming before. I hurried upstairs, but I heard Connor's voice through the door. I couldn't make out what he was saying, so I carefully opened the door ever so slightly. It was just enough for me to make out what they were saying.

"(Y/n), it's okay. I'm here. Nothing has happened. It was just a nightmare, love." He told her.

"C-Connor...it was so real! It was so real! I can't! I can't, Connor!" She cried to him. I wanted to rush in and comfort her, but I couldn't.

"(Y/n), look at me. Look at me, love." Connor told her. I heard him kiss her somewhere. "I'm right here. You're safe. Nothing bad happened." He assured her. I heard her breathing grow clam and I heard the shuffling of the sheets. I assumed she had gotten closer to him.

"I...I'm sorry." She said.

"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. Besides, I'll always be here for you." Connor replied.

"Connor?" She asked. Her voice was so soft and sweet. It made me smile and it made my heart hurt at the same time.

"Yes, (Y/n)?"

"Can...can I have a kiss?" She asked. I thought of her asking me that. How I wished it would have been me being asked that question. He chuckled at her request.

"You never have to ask, love." He told her. I heard them kiss and I felt my gut twisting with pain and envy. I stayed outside the door until (Y/n) fell asleep. I closed it and it made a tiny 'click'. I flinched. Shit. Now Connor knows I was listening. I cursed. I hurried away from the door. I went back downstairs. I decided to go see somebody that could help me. I put on my jacket and I headed out, leaving a note in case I wasn't home before either of them woke up.

I headed out and started the long walk to my friend's place. I had found out that he still lived there. As I walked along, I began to wonder how he was. I hoped he wasn't any more unstable than he already was. 

When I got there, I found a hole in the fence and slipped inside. I knocked on the door. I knew he'd answer. He'd probably seen me coming already. He was a bit paranoid. 

"O-Oreon? Is that you, old friend?" I smiled as I heard his voice.

"Yeah. It's me, Ralph. Can I come in, pal?" I asked. The door opened and I smiled as I saw my old friend. 

"O-Oreon! It has been a long time since you have visited Ralph!" He said with a smile.

"Yeah. Listen, I need some advice, pal. I was hoping you could help. You're about the only person I can talk to about this at the moment." I said. He nodded and let me inside.

"W-why do you come to Ralph with your question?" He asked. I sighed.

"Ralph, this is gonna sound crazy, but it's true. I..I fell in love with this girl, but she's in love with somebody else. They're a couple and I don't like anything about the guy she is with, plus I have to live with both of them, so my situation isn't exactly great right now. I don't know what to do. I love her, but it hurts everytime I hear her tell somebody else that." I said. 

"M-Maybe you should try to find somebody else." He said.

"What!?" I exclaimed.

"The emotion y-you are talking about, is complex. R-Ralph is sure of this. Y-you might not get her, but if she's happy, why are you upset? If you love her, don't you want her to be happy?" Ralph asked.

"And where does that leave me? A third wheel loner?" I asked.

"You aren't alone, Oreon! You have your other friends! You have Ralph!" He said. I sighed.

"I just don't know." I told him. He thought about it.

"Stay with Ralph tonight! It'll give you time to think about it. Maybe it'll be easier to think in the morning!" He suggested. I knew he was probably right, plus it gave me an excuse to stay away from Connor longer.

"Sure." I agreed. He looked pleased and he hurried off to get bed supplies for me. I chuckled. He was crazy, but he was a good guy, really. "If you love her, don't you want her to be happy?" I thought about his words. I sighed again. I just don't know what to do anymore.
