Her Protector [Charlie Morningstar x Male Reader x MCU]

Field Trip

It's been a week since Charlie had went into Y/n's closet and went through most of the boxes inside. She discovered the rope and hooks, the books, the pictures, and the camera. She had become more concerned with her best friend's well-being since then and would barely leave him alone unless it was certain circumstances, like school and whatnot.

However, Y/n has recovered enough to be able to attend school again which Charlie was exhilarated about. She was finally able to keep an eye on her friend at all times now. And he came back at a good time, too, because it was only a few days later when he and Charlie's English class went on a field trip to a college for a couple of plays.

In the bus, the English class was loading up and picking seats. Y/n, of course, sat with Charlie. When everyone was on the bus, the English teacher whose name everyone could never pronounce stood up and started laying down some rules. They were the usual field trip rules: don't leave the group without permission, don't do anything to get yourself in trouble, etc, etc. There were also rules for when they watched the plays, like to be quiet and don't be on your phones as to not disturb the play and the actors.

Finally, the bus took off as it drove its hour-long drive to the college. During the drive, people talked with each other and played on their phones. Y/n and Charlie sat in silence as the Human looked out the window. The Demon princess looked at her friend in concern. Ever since Charlie found the boxes in her friend's closet, she had been ever more concerned for him. She wanted to confront him about it, but she doesn't know how. So for now, she was going to talk about something else.

"So, uh, Y/n?" Charlie called to her friend who was looking out the window. She got no response. "Y/n? Earth to Y/n."

She waved her hand in front of the biker's face, snapping him out of his trance. He turns to Charlie with a confused hum.

"You okay?" she asks. "You seem a bit of it."

"I'm fine, Charlie. Nothing much," Y/n yawns. "Just a bit tired. Haven't been getting a whole lot of sleep these past few nights."

"Really?" Charlie asks. "You alright?"

"I'm fine. Nothing's wrong," Y/n responds and rubs his left eye. "Just... a bit hard to sleep right now. I'll be fine in the next few days."

"It you say so," Charlie says. "Do you wanna... take a nap here? You can rest on my shoulder if you want."

Charlie's face flushed slightly redder than most of the time, and Y/n's cheeks get sprinkled red as well. However, he takes the offer with a nod and leans on Charlie's shoulder. He smiles at her, though, thanking her before closing his eyes for a nap. Charlie couldn't help but smile at the sight, and before she knew it Y/n was asleep.

"How do you fall asleep so easily?" she asks Y/n in a whisper.

She gets no answer, however, as Y/n was knocked out. She only got soft snores from him. She giggled a bit before she looked around. When Charlie was sure no one was looking at her, she turned back to Y/n and brushed back some hair from his forehead. She then leaned down and planted a soft kiss on his head. Y/n smiles softly at this, and Charlie couldn't help but smile a little wider. She probably couldn't deny it much longer. She had indeed fallen for Y/n after all of their time together.

Now all she wanted to know was exactly how Y/n felt about her. But what she didn't know was that Y/n was also falling for her.

Timeskip...

After the hour-long drive, the Midtown High school bus arrived at the college where they would be watching the play. So staying together and following the other schools that were attending the play, the Midtown English class made their way into the main auditorium. It was already packed full of other English classes from other schools, but Midtown was still able to find a place to sit together.
