Oneshot Book Ft. My OCS {Open for Requests}

Zoe x Reader PT. 2 {Angst/Fluff}

"Ah, so you decided to show up after all." Zoe smirked a bit as she looked up at Y/n, who blushed and narrowed her eyes.

"Yeah, so?" Y/n rolled her eyes as she sat across from Zoe.

"Aw, look at my little tsundere."

"I am not a tsundere. And I am not yours."

"Yet, after a month of trying, you've finally accepted a date from  me. And, your attitude says otherwise~." Zoe purred, resting her chin on her hands.

"Tch, whatever." Y/n looked away, then back at her. "You mentioned something about a trial while we were on the phone the other day."

Zoe was silent a moment.

"I did?"

"Yeah. You said, 'well, I'm testifying against him, since he's on trial, so I won't be free that day'. What was that all about?" Y/n asked, tilting her head a bit. "And who's 'him'?"

"Y/n, can we talk about it back at my place?" Zoe eyed the people staring at them. "I don't really want people gossiping about it."

"Uh...yeah, sure." Y/n nodded, thanking the waiter as they handed her her boba she'd ordered.

"Why?"

"Someone is impatient." Zoe pulled her up by the hand and out of the shop.

"I never sa-"

(Sh-)

"Who the hell are you? And what the fuck is happening?"

(It isn't important, and whatever I feel like writing. Now s H u S h-)

"Why did you say I  was impatient, I'm not-"

"Well, I can't leave you confused, can I?" Zoe muttered, pausing as she put a hand on her doorknob. She turned to look at Y/n.

"Remember that kid I said I was adopting that was a friends...? Well, she's mine."

"Oh- uh- okay." Y/n blinked.

Zoe nodded and opened the door, grinning as a small girl ran up to her, hugging her tightly.

"Mommy! You're home!" She squealed. Zoe chuckled and swept the girl up in her arms, nuzzling her.

"Who's that?"

"Right." Zoe giggled. "Y/n, meet Ellie. Ellie, meet Y/n."

"Hi." Y/n blinked.

"Sorry I never really told you two about each other, I thought you'd get along . Also! Meet Mya." Zoe gestured to a teenage, blonde hair, and violet eyed girl. "She's Ellie's babysitter and immigrated from France a few  years ago."

"I was just heading out." Mya chuckled, waving as she left.

Zoe sighed, setting Ellie down and watching as she ran off.

Y/n sat on the couch, looking up at her.

"The trials were about my father." Zoe bit her lip, sitting next to Y/n. "He was a terrible person. All. All of my memories of him are just him abusing me, my brother, and my mother in any way, shape or form."

Y/n frowned, gently wrapping an arm around her. "Why are you testifying, and not your brother, or mother?"

"My mother is, I just didn't mention that. My brother.. I don't want him to." Zoe sighed. "I'm afraid he'll get overwhelmed, or have an anxiety attack on the stand. He had it the worst, especially that last night."

"He's still a crucial part." Y/n frowned.

"I know, I know. It just hurts to see him hurt."

"I see... Since we're already in dark territory... Where's Ellie's father?"

Zoe flinched. "He's uh... Dead."

"How long... If you don't mind me asking?"

"Three years. He committed suicide." Zoe looked away.

"I'm sorry." Y/n hugged her tightly, frowning.

"It isn't your fault. He just had a lot of pressure, and cracked under the stress." Zoe sniffled, burying her face in Y/n's shoulder.

Y/n froze up a bit, but let her, patting her head. "It's okay to cry."

After a bit, Zoe calmed down, Y/n wiping her eyes.

"Thank you...." Zoe chuckled, hiccuping.

Y/n smiled a bit.

"No problem. Want to watch a movie and cuddle?"

"That would be nice."
