I've never seen The đ
±ïžois, however, the idea of Butcher with someone who's quiet and keeps to themselves sounds like it could be interesting. Or someone who's a walking meme hehehehe. Do whatever floats your boat! đ
Oo this was so lovely to write!
-CW: Hurt Billy Butcher, gender neutral reader, blood, angst, hurt/comfort, shy/quiet reader,slight fluff, protective behavior, physical injury.
-Summary: After a brutal mission, a wounded and frazzled Billy Butcher struggles to tend to his own injuries. When you arrive, your calm and quiet presence becomes exactly what he needs to ground himself, leading to an intimate moment of comfort.
The safehouse was quiet, apart from the rhythmic, ragged sound of Billyâs breathing. You hesitated in the doorway, your heart hammering against your ribs. The sight of him was enough to make your hands tremble..there was bloody gauze discarded on the floor, and more of it scattered across his desk like debris from a war zone.
He was hunched over, his broad shoulders tense as he tried to wrap his own arm, but his hand was shaking so badly he couldn't get the bandage to hold. He was sweating, his face tight with pain, and he looked like a cornered animal.
You didnât want to crowd him. You knew how he got when he felt trapped. But seeing him hurt made it impossible to stay away. You walked over slowly, your footsteps silent, your own breath hitched in your throat. He heard you, his head snapping up, his eyes sharp and guarded.
âGet out, love," he rasped, though the edge in his voice was dulled by pain. "Not a sight for you."
You didn't say a word. You couldn't trust your voice not to shake, so you just reached out. You placed your hand firmly but gently over his, pressing the blood soaked gauze against his bicep to stop the bleeding. You felt the muscle beneath your palm jump, then slowly, begrudgingly, relax as he realized you weren't going anywhere.
âBloody hell, sweetheart," he muttered, his gaze dropping to your hand, then back to your face. His shoulders finally dropped an inch and the exhaustion in his posture was suddenly undeniable. "Youâre shakinâ. Donât be scared, love. Itâs just a scratch. A nasty one, but just a scratch."
As you carefully began to wind the fresh bandage around his arm, you were knelt between his knees, your gaze fixed intently on the work. Your cheeks flushed a deep red, and as you leaned in he reached up, his calloused fingers gently tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear, his thumb lingering to trace the line of your jaw.
âYou're a quiet one, aren't ya, darlinâ?" he murmured, his voice a gravelly hum that made you shiver. "Never askin' questions. Never demandin' things I can't give. Most people... they want a play by play. They want the truth of the mess Iâm in."
He shook his head, a ghost of a smile touching his lips as he took in your flustered, shy expression. "But you? You just... you just know when to be still. Itâs a rare thing, sweetheart. It helps, more than ya know."
Before you could finish the bandage, his good hand snaked around your waist. With one smooth and possessive motion he scooped you up, pulling you forward until you were settled securely in his lap. You gasped, your heart spiking as you realized how close you were, but he didn't give you a chance to pull away.
You bit your lip, unable to meet his eyes, but you stayed right there, your quiet presence acting as a balm to his frazzled nerves. "I... I j-just wanted to help," you whispered, your voice barely audible as you stuttered. "You d-didn't look like you were doing a good job on your own."
"I don't need the details, Billy," you added softly, your voice gaining a tiny bit of confidence. "I just... I just want you to be okay."
He let out a long ,shuddering breath, the tension leaving him in a rush. "Thatâs it, love. Youâve got a gentle touch, havenât you, darlinâ? Youâre so good to me.Don't know what I'd do without you keepin' me steady.â
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed writing this request. My requests are still open for any smut or fluff scenarios youâd like me to write!
