Bone of Contention (Underswap Papyrus X Reader)

Chapter 18: "Cadillacs and Cologne"

You rapidly began trying to pull away out of Austin's grasp but it only tightened and he laid his chin on your shoulder. "I don't think you're going anywhere, pretty lady." He purred which only made you attempt to pull away harder.

In the middle of the panic, you began to remember what you were taught to do when you were young. If you were to ever be grabbed by a stranger, your parents had told you to scream. To scream as loud as you could so someone could come to your rescue. So, you started to scream which startled Austin and he jumped somewhat before he moved a hand to cover your mouth. You of course bit his hand which caused him to yelp in surprise, jerking his hand away from your mouth, giving you time to yell, "Help, help!" at the top of your lungs.

He angrily turned you towards him, his olive green gaze burning into your own (e\c) eyes. "If you scream one more time, you're dead. Got it?!" He hissed and you gulped, nodding your head in understanding.

He placed a hand on your cheek and tears began to forming in your eyes, "Don't be sad..." He spoke softly as you tried to jerk away again. He gently caressed your cheek and you fought back at the tears that wanted to escape from your eyes.

Suddenly, the door to the shop opened and Austin's face whipped over to see who it was. He held you even tighter, unsure of who it was, you decided to risk it and ask for help.

"Help... Whoever you are... Please help..." You choked out.

There was dead silence for a few moments before you heard dress shoes click against the tile floor. They stopped a couple feet away from you. "Alright, dipshit. Let her go, or there will be consequences." A deep voice spoke and Austin suddenly let go of you. You quickly ran away, tears running down your cheeks and you looked to see your savior.

Your eyes widened in surprise when you saw none other than the suited detective named Mr. Smith holding out his gun, pointing it at Austin. He looked at you and winked before he turned his gaze back to Austin.

"Look man, she's my girlfriend. I don't know why she was screaming for help." Austin lied, putting his hands up in the air so Mr. Smith wouldn't shoot him.

"Your lies aren't getting past me. Stay away from Misses (L\N) or I will make sure you have a rough trial and a long jail sentence." Mr. Smith spat in response.

You were shaking and you quickly hid behind Mr. Smith. The two men glared at each other, Mr. Smith was around three inches taller than Austin so he could stare down at him intimidatingly. Austin took a few steps backwards.

"Who do you think you are bursting in during such an intimate moment?" Austin challenged the suited man and he let out a chuckle in response.

Mr. Smith pulled back his suit coat to show off the badge on his belt, "Head detective at Mt. Ebott Police. Who do you think you are, smartass?" He challenged right back.

Austin shrunk back when he heard Mr. Smith was in the police and fell dead silent. You peeked around Mr. Smith to see Austin biting his tongue to keep from saying anything harmful to his case. When he saw you looking at him, his gaze met yours for only a split second before he broke eye contact.

"O-oh, I'm so s-sorry sir..." He stuttered out which made Mr. Smith lean on one leg. Austin looked up at Mr. Smith's cool gray gaze and shrunk back even more.

Noah Smith took his gun and tucked it back into its holster before he reached behind himself, reaching out for your hand. "If I hear of you trying to touch anyone ever again without consent, I won't be as kind nor as just. Got it, asshole?" He hissed and Austin nodded rapidly as you held Mr. Smith's hand.

Mr. Smith gave him one last threatening glance before he gently held your hand, "You have everything you need, right?" he asked you and you nodded.
