Strictly Professional ~ Onceler x fem reader fanfic

~CHPTR 27 don't blame me~

OMG THIRD IN #theonceler!!!! I can't thankyou guys enough YOUR THE BEST :)

The app had made your product even more popular, extending your reach from international to global. You and Onceler decided to go for a celebratory dinner.

You dressed for the occasion, since Once had told you the restaurant he chose was quite excentric. You wore a black off the shoulder dress, hugging your waist as well as flowing elegantly. It was embellished with glitter, excentric enough you thought.

Once picked you up from your place, excessively complementing you on the way there. He knew how to put a smile on your face, that's for sure. You got to the restaurant, he wasn't wrong about it being excentric.

Though, it wasn't at all what you expected. Strobe lights panned over the front, loud music could be heard even from outside.

"I thought we could do with something more lively. Is it too much?" You had a confused look on your face. Glancing at Once, he looked concerned.

"I just wasn't expecting, this. It's very, excentric" Though you were slightly taken back, you smiled at him.

"Let's go in then" You said, he looked relieved.

As you walked in, confirming your reservation, you saw a stage. A band was playing. As you sat down, drinks were immediately sent your way, a very glammed up woman ran over to you from what you assumed was a dance floor.

"Are you Y/N L/N? Oh my god!! I love your perfume!! You're a genius!" You smiled at her, not wanting to come across as rude. She glanced at Once, a confused look on her face.

"Thank you for your support, enjoy your evening" You kept it short and sweet, thankfully she got the idea. She ran off to her friends, whispering as they all looked in your direction. You turned your focus back to Onceler, who looked slighlty nervous.

"What is this place? It's hardly a restaurant Once" His face flushed red.

"Well, I come here to. Perform" His words shocked you. He performed?

"Perform?"

"Well, yes. I dabble in music. It's what I wanted to do before I came up with the Thneed"

"Oh really? You never fail to surprise me Mr Onceler" You sipped the cocktail that had practically been thrown at you. Before you could ask anymore questions, a man shouted from the stage.

"AND NOW, THE ONE AND ONLY. ONCELER!!!" The man shouted, everyone cheered.

"Here we go-" Onceler got up, starting towards the stage.

A few hours earlier

Onceler was sitting at his desk, deep in thought. You and him had been getting very close recently. Though you prevented him from calling it a relationship.

As he stared out the large window in front of him, he began spiralling. He spoke outloud:

"What if she just wants to have sex? What if the feelings aren't mutual? No, she's shown more than lust for me, she has to feel something else. But why would she not want to be a thing? I can't put myself through this if it's never going to happen. Yes, I will just suppress the emotions. Then I can focus on the business. But who cares about the business? I want her! I don't want her, I need her! Yes silly, because I'm in love with her." He stopped himself, covering his mouth as if you were in the room with him.

"I. Love. Her." Fuck, this couldn't happen. Or could it? As he balanced the options, he decided on a way to show his feelings through one of the things he did best, music.

Present time

Onceler walked up to the stage , the band tuning up their instruments. He was handed a red guitar, flashy much. He looked at you from the stage, you could tell he was nervous. You watched in curiosity as the song started.

Yes , I know it's basic. The song is Do I Wanna Know By the Arctic Monkeys.

Have you got color in your cheeks'
Do you ever get the feeling that you can't shift the tide
That sticks around like something's in your teeth
And some aces up your sleeve

As he sung, you listened intently. Enjoying the music. He stared at you while he played.

How many secrets can you keep'
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow
When I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

He began to sing louder, as if to send you a message.

Do I wanna know?
If this feeling flows both ways
Sad to see you go
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
Baby we both know
That the nights were mainly made for saying
things that you can't say tomorrow day

As he sung the chorus with heavy emotion, you suddenly realised the message he was trying to send you. The feelings running through your body made you intensely nervous, a headache began to form.

As the song finished, you felt sick. You got up and ran out the restaurant. Onceler saw you as you ran off and ran after you, leaving his guitar on the stage in a frenzy.

He searched up and down the street, you were nowhere to be seen. Was it too much? Probably. He began to regret singing you that song, debating on what to do next. Should he leave you be? After what happened last time you were out at night by yourself, he didn't like that idea too much.

He decided to drive to your house, searching for answers.

"Y/N? You there?" He knocked on your door rapidly. No answer. You were sat at the kitchen counter, silently sipping on your wine.

"Y/N, if you're there, I would like to confess-" He leant on the door, allowing himself to slide down to the floor, back to the door. All the while you were listening.

"I have loved you ever since I first saw you. I don't know why, there's something special about you. Your as important to me as the oxygen I breathe. I couldn't possibly live without you. I. Love. You." You had walked to the door, now you sat on the floor, back to the door.

"I will never stop loving you, even when your old and grey" He chuckled, you began tearing up at his heavy words.

"I never thought I'd feel this way, ever. I feel as though the universe brought me to you. I was meant to find you. " You placed your hand to the door, allowing the tears to fall from your eyes.

"I’ve never had a moment’s doubt. I love you. I believe in you completely. You are my dearest one. My reason for life.” With that, you pulled your knees to your chest, allowing the deeply suppressed emotions to overcome you. Though these emotions felt different, as if unlocked with a key only one person had access to.

You heard him stand up, sniffling. You also stood up, but you turned the lock on the door. You opened the door, tears still ran down your face. He turned around, his eyes were red and puffy as he looked at you in shock.

You grabbed his face, lips connecting in a loving embrace. He held onto you for dear life, your hot faces wet with tears. You grabbed his hand, leading him into your house. He slammed the door shut, immediately reconnecting your lips. You found yourself in your bedroom, the darkness absorbing you.

----

You laid in his arms, thoughts swimming in your head. Though, your thoughts never reached business. All you could think about is what you wanted, what you needed.

"I think. I think I love you too" .

IT HAPPENED AHAHDHDHWHS
