Credence Barebone X Reader Imagines

PDA

Sorry, this is so short, I'm working on other imagines :(

The idea of PDA made Credence flustered, which was fine you never initiated more than occasionally holding hands in public. Although the first couple of times that happened he momentarily forgot how to speak and what it was like to have a steady heartbeat.

But sometimes part of him would forget and he'd casually just pull you into a warm embrace, sometimes he'd realize where he was and what he was doing on his own and would pull away and apologize. Or someone would make a comment,  like one time Queenie loudly exclaimed how cute you and him are together, which caused him to pull away immediately and stumble on every word that came out of his mouth for the next five minutes.

Sure he's embarrassed at the time, but he really does like the feeling of having you in his arms and as a result doesn't regret doing it, because you didn't seem to mind either way. Now that he thought about it, maybe that's why he liked spending time alone with you,  because he could hold you as much as he wants without anyone questioning or commenting on it.

Like in this current moment, as he rests his head on top of yours, while his arms are wrapped around your waist. You had been showing him the creatures in Newt's case before, but now you're just relaxing against him.

"I really love holding you, darling." He murmurs, almost out the blue he realizes, but you don't seem bothered, smiling softly.

"Is that why sometimes I hear you cooing softly when you do hold me?" he goes completely rigid the second the question comes out of your mouth, part of you thought he might physically jump backward because of it.

"I- I don't actually do that do I?" You don't actually give him an answer, instead of letting out a laugh, that makes him momentarily forget why he was so worried.
