Prompt:
Do you know the thing where it’s ‘I know he’ll catch me no matter what he’s
doing’ and ‘don’t I’m holding coffee’ but they still catch them anyway and drop
the coffee. You should totally do a Warren one like that.
Note:
Yasssssssssss
“He wouldn’t. I’m telling you now, he wouldn’t.”
You shook your head. Peter was wrong. There was no way if you fell right now
from the tree you were climbing that Warren would catch you. He had coffee in
his hand, and honestly, you weren’t sure he liked you that way.
“Wanna bet?” Peter cocked an eyebrow. “If he
catches you, which he will, you owe
me five bucks. Or a box of Twinkies. Whichever you find first.”
“Fine. But if I splat on the grass, it’s on
your conscience.” You told him, letting go of your branch. You screamed on the
way down, the wind in your face, but not for very long. In instants, you were
caught in a strong pair of arms, slowly drifting downwards on feathery wings.
“Warren,” you looked up at him wide-eyed.
Dammit. Now you owed Peter five bucks. On the bright side, the hottest guy at X
Mansion probably liked you, or at least cared about you enough not to let you
die. On the other hand, now you owed Peter five bucks. Or Twinkies.
“Be careful. You could have died.” He told
you, his blue eyes very serious. There wasn’t even a smirk on his attractive
face.
“Thanks. For saving me. You’re like my
guardian angel,” you smiled softly. He kissed your forehead.
“Please don’t ever fall from that high again.
You’re lucky I have wings.” He shook his head, his feet finally touching the
ground. He held you for a second, just staring at you before he put you down.
“I am,” you nodded. “I really am grateful,
Warren.”
“You better be,” he smirked. “I’ll see you
around.” He bent down to kiss your cheek before walking away. There was a blur
of silver. You held out five dollars, a dazed expression on your face.
“Told you.” Peter grinned. You nodded
wordlessly, still taken aback by Warren’s sudden affection. “You know, he’s
liked you for a while. If all it took was you falling out of a tree for him to
finally make a move, I should have pushed you sooner.”
“Peter!” you elbowed him in the chest. He
laughed.
“Hey, it’s true!” he shrugged. You rolled
your eyes. Maybe he was right. You supposed you would have to wait and see.
