Ruel x Reader, two music worlds collide

Part 12

" good morning" Ruel's raspy morning voice was one of the best things in the world, at least that was what I decided the moment he talked
" good morning" I stretched and turned around in his arms. He gave me a kiss on the forehead before speaking again
" so friends?" he said with a laugh
" yeah isn't that where we are? wait you don't think I like you??"
" well last night showed some real appreciation"
he slowly kissed my neck and then bumped his nose on mine
" how about I fix some breakfast and you freshen up?" he asks as our eyes lock again. Even though I hate the idea of him leaving the bed breakfast sounds really good so I agree.

He leaves the bedroom and I walk over to his closet to steal a shirt or hoodie. After going through everything twice I decided to just put on a simple white t-shirt and a pair of his boxers. I went out of his bedroom and into the kitchen, leaning against the door frame just watching him cook.
" I know I'm hot but it's rude to stare" He says and I laugh
" well when you look that good you'll have to get used to the fact that people will stare" I said with a wink. I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his waist
" see you took the opportunity to steal my clothes"
" what else would I do?"

We finished cooking together and then went out to the living room to watch something on the tv. 5 minutes later we're ignoring the tv show and just talking, as usual. The morning passes on just like that, casual and flirty. Around noon Sophie calls me and tells me I need to go home, something about the press, I didn't really listen. So sadly I packed my stuff and asked Ruel to drive me home since I didn't have a car with me.

The ride home wasn't silent, the opposite, it was filled with music and singing and laughing. Maybe things would work out? But as we said goodbye by my door I remembered Nate's and Sophie's reaction the last time we almost got together, that meant we had to sit down with them and talk things through.

That night I called Belle wanting to talk things through and get her point of view of the situation. The conversation did cheer me up but it didn't get me any smarter, Belle just freaked out and then started planning our wedding. After we hung up I started making some kind of dinner when Ruel called me on FaceTime.
" ello"
" hey"
" what ya doin?"
" not much, wait is that the shirt I wore this morning?"
He slightly nods his head making him look like a four year old who ate candy on a monday.

" you do know that we will have to talk to Sophie and Nate?"
" now we were having a good time and you just had to ruin it?"
" it's the truth, last time we didn't talk to them and that did not end well"
" buuut how about we keep it on a low until we know where we are?"
" yeah and let you convince me to make out in the studio and then have them walk in"
" I promise I won't" his famous puppy dog eyes appeared as he finished his sentence
" well why don't I come over to your place and we figure this out?" he asks with hope in his eyes. After a few minutes of him arguing I agreed when he said he would buy ice cream on the way.

Half an hour later he was standing outside my door with ice cream. He steps inside and puts his stuff down before giving me an hug, I try to back away but he just holds on tighter
" i missed you" he puts his head in the crook of my neck
" you saw me this morning"
" exactly it's been hours"
" you're dramatic"
" but you love it"
I nod to his statement as he lift his head from my shoulder to give me a kiss which escalated very fast. Even though I enjoyed being stuck between his body and the wall, his hands roaming my body and mine tugging at his hair, I pulled away. He rested his forehead on mine and exhaled deeply
" you know keeping things on a low usually means taking things slow too" I tease as he steps away
" don't pretend you did not like that" he winked and walked to my living room.

I entered the room and saw Ruel laying on the couch scrolling through shows on the tv
" I see you eyeing the lounge chair and if you even dare consider sitting down there and not cuddling me I'll eat all the ice cream"
I started to laugh as I made my way over to him, I laid down on top of him and he wrapped his arms around me after he put down the remote.
" find anything intriguing on the tv"
he shook his head and started to play with my hair, I suggested Seinfeld as usual and he put it down.

The first hour were just spent lazily watching the tv, Ruel continuing to play with my hair almost making me fall asleep
" are you getting hungry?"
" depends on who's buying the diner, i've got nothing in this house"
I put my chin on his chest and looked into his eyes, I reached my hand out and slowly ran it against his cheek
" you need to shave"
he chuckled and then reached for his phone
" i'll order some pizza?"
" that works"

Pizza arrived and we sat down at the kitchen table to eat
" fuck why is it always freezing in my kitchen, I'll head up and get a hoodie"
" take mine"
Ruel quickly shuffles to get it off and hands it to me, not before he almost got stuck in it.

" it's getting quite dark outside, how about you stay the night"
" trying to tell me something"
" I could never imply such a thing you think I'm implying"
I slowly got up from my chair and started to walk away
" oh no you don't"
at that I started running and only a few seconds later Ruel had me caught in his grip
