Everything is Fine - Reader x Tim Wright

You woke up close to 12 p.m. from a phone call from Tim.

"Hello?"

"(Y/n)?"

"Yeah what's up?"

"Can we meet up before work to talk?"

You sit up in your bed.

"Yeah sure. Where do you want to meet?"

"Not my house or your apartment. Maybe a restaurant but we can't meet up outside, only inside. We can't make it too obvious since as far as I know Alex and the hooded guy don't even know you exist."

"Sure. I saw a small diner with some decent deals on the sign near your house."

"You're talking about The Wheel right?"

"Yeah, that one."

"I'll leave now and hopefully we should arrive at times far enough apart."

"Sure. I'll let you go so I can get my stuff ready."

"See you then."

You stood up and made your way to the bathroom. After gathering all of your things for work you exit your apartment complex and out to your car when you start having a bad coughing fit outside of your car. You quickly forced open the car door and then sat down until you're able to calm down. It took you longer than you thought it would to get to the restaurant. You walked inside the building quickly spotting Tim at a booth in a corner far away from all the windows. Smart.

You took a seat in front of him which startled him since he was so absorbed into his phone. You let out a small snicker at his slight jump.

"So what's new with you?"

He stares at you confused.

"I'm surprised you're not going straight into emotional berating me or asking me 20 questions."

"Did I sound upset on the phone?"

"No, but I was just prepared."

"I figured I would let you have control of the situation. In your defense, you did try to push me away but I pushed on."

"I could have fought you more on coming into my home but besides that where do you want me to start?"

"Start from wherever you feel is best."

The conversation went on for a long while besides the small pauses to eat or drink. He explained the best he could about things that have occurred off-screen but you could tell he wasn't explaining everything. You decided not to press on because you could tell based on how often he would pull out the pill bottle that he wasn't feeling good and you didn't want to agitate things. You looked at the time and you realized it was time to leave for work.

You decided to leave 5 minutes before him and you met back up outside of work. The two of you made your way to your stations all while laughing about your same old dumb jokes. He then asks a question you didn't really expect.

"Since you know that I am quitting in less than two weeks would you consider leaving with me? I know it's a bit out of nowhere but I don't think you're safe anywhere close to here. I'm really worried that if you stay put too long then your apartment will burn down like Jay's did. I would feel guilty if I didn't at least ask since we were considering leaving."

You were surprised, to say the least. You knew you really had to think about this before you answered. If you weren't already deep into this shit yet you most definitely be if you left with him. You also have to think about the chance of your apartment burning down or being attacked. But as far as the two of you knew no one knew about you. You decided you needed time and he nodded understanding how serious all of this was.
