Strictly Professional ~ Onceler x fem reader fanfic

~CHPTR 14 early morning shenanigans~

You didn't expect to feel so rough when you woke up. No, you felt like you'd been hit by a boulder. As your eyes slowly adjusted, you checked the time: 4.16am. Fuck, no chance you were getting back to sleep now. You made the decision to try and get out of bed, putting all your strength into standing up. Ay, it was a struggle, but after a few minutes of effort you had managed to stand up, the soft carpet below you promising a cushioned fall if you lost your balance. Grabbing the box of cigarettes and lighter Onceler had left for you, you slowly made your way downstairs, developing an immense headache while you walked.

Onceler was sat at the kitchen island when you finally got downstairs, you couldn't really see his face. The darkness almost seemed to swallow him up. Creepy.

"Why aren't you asleep, Y/N?" His voice was hoarse, almost as if he'd been crying, but concern still traced it.

"I just woke up, no way I would've gone back to sleep. Cigarette?" As you slipped one between your lips, he didn't make a single movement, from what you could tell. He let out a sniffle, before lowering his head.

"I'm not having this conversation in the dark Onceler" You squinted, searching for a light switch, bumping into a few things on the way. Finally, you found a large lamp and switched it on, illuminating the kitchen and living room.

"OW TURN IT OFF" He threw his hands onto his eyes, face planting the table with an 'Oof'. As you wandered over to him, who was in some strange pjamas, you immediately knew what had happened.

"You're stoned" You said blankly. He opened one eye, then the other, slowly removing his hands from his face.

"Heheehe. Am not" His glazed eyes and messy hair were truly a site to see as he smiled at you, what a child.

"Let's watch a film, theres no way I'm going back to sleep after this" You grabbed his arm, he stumbled dramatically.

"Ooh! I get to choose!" Onceler shouted like a child.

"Okay Once, okay".

As you decided on a film to choose , you both sat on the large sofa and got comfy. A few minutes into the film, Onceler layed vertically to you, his head on your lap.

"My head's itchy" Onceler stated , clearly trying to get a head massage.

"I'm gonna embarrass the fuck out of you tomorrow Once" You chuckled, your hand moving to his head. He passed out soon after that. So did you.

Bright sunlight streamed into the living room through the blinds, causing you to squint. As you adjusted you saw Onceler, on the floor. He was snoring loudly. You checked the time once again, 7.42am. You felt significantly less rough now. You stepped over the large man on the floor and went outside, slipping a cigarette between your lips.

As you blowed out smoke, you thought about the recent events that had led you to Onceler's house. Why didn't he just take you home? You would've been fine. Though you couldn't lie, his company had been nice. The pancakes were obviously a selling point. Even so , you figured you had overstayed your welcome, calling a cab back to your house.
