Chapter 3 - That Fucking Witcher
(Y/N) POV
After they had gotten home from the walk, they had made some food. After they had eaten they went into town to get some groceries.
After shopping, the Mage started their walk home. As they were walking home they ran into someone...
Not just any someone...
Another Mage...
But they were quick to apologize, "I am so sorry, I really should look where I'm going".
They look up and meet the gaze of a beautiful dark haired woman with beautifulĀ purple eyes.
The woman spoke first, "I am so sorry. I need to watch where I'm going" She says with a chuckle.
They laughed with her and said, "It's okay youāre actually not the first person to bump into me since I've been here" right after they said that someone called their name.
Not just any someone, but the Bard they met at the Tavern.
"(Y/N)! Hey!" Jaskier shouted and ran over to the pair talking. Then the unknown Mage looked at them with realization and said, "wait, you're (Y/N)?" They looked at her quizzically, "Yeah, why?"
She chuckled again and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Yennefer a friend of Geralt's." She extends her hand out to the smaller Mage, They shook her hand and said, "Yennefer, Geralt has told me so much about you" That was a damn lie he hasn't told them shit about this Mage, they just wanted to appear like he did. All Geralt has told them was that Yennefer was a past lover.
Yennefer and (Y/N) released each otherās hands and the purple-eyed Mage said, "Really?"
Poor Jaskier was looking back and forth between the two.Ā
Jaskier chimed in and said, "I'm just going to leave you two alone. (Y/N), come find me later?"Ā
(Y/N) nodded and smiled at him. Then they turned back to look at the dark-haired mage.
Yennefer smiled at the (Y/E/C)-eyed mage and said; "want some ale?"
The shorter of the two Mages agreed; "sure." The two walked over to the bar and Yennefer told the bar keep to pour two ales. Then they walked over to a table, (Y/N) knew the violet-eyed mage had something to say to them. So they asked her; "what's on your mind Yennefer? You've had this look in your eyes ever since I told you I knew Geralt."
She sighed and began to speak; "I don't have any negative feelings toward you if that's what you're thinking (Y/N), I'm just trying toĀ figure you out is all. Also curious as to how you met dear Geralt." (Y/N) thought back on the memory of when they met Geralt.
~Flashback~
As they walk out of the wash room in the tavern of their home town of Cintra, theyĀ bump into a bard. they make eye contact with him and they are quick to apologize, "I am so sorry. I should really look where I'm going" they laugh and he chuckles.
"I'm Jaskier" he introduces himself.
I'm (Y/N)" they say back.
They smile at each other, then he says, "would you like to meet my friend Geralt?"
They look at him quizzically with a raised brow, "why?"
He gives them a cheeky smile and says, "because I think you're good company and Geralt could use someone else to bother him other than just me" he laughs at the end.
They look at him one last time but agree, he walks them over to his table. The man they saw there wasn't what they were expecting, he's muscular, has long white hair. They also noticed the medallion around his neck, he's a Witcher. Sure enough the first thing out of their mouth instead of their name was, "you're a Witcher?" And they immediately regretted it and clamped their hand over their mouth so fast.
When he looks at them he doesn't look shocked. He's probably so used to that question that he's unfazed by it now.
Then he says, "I'm Geralt, and you are?"
They look away from his intense amber eyes and say, "I'm (Y/N)". He looks them over as they introduce them self and they shift uncomfortably.
He seems to notice, then say, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to make you uncomfortable."
They smile, "It's okay, sir".
Geralt chuckles and looks at them, "please call me Geralt" then he gestures for them to sit. They do because he's an intimidating Witcher. They sit next to him. He looks at them and says, "So, what's a sweet little thing like you doing here?" They look at him and chuckle.
Then they say, "Honey, I'm far from sweet." Jaskier finally chimes into the conversation and chuckles at what (Y/N) said. They look at him and smile then say, "You think that's funny Dandelion?" Jaskier chuckles, "Wow, I haven't been called that in while. How did you know people used to call me that?"
(Y/N) looks at him while they laugh then say, "When I walked in I heard some folks saying it."
Jaskier just looks at them and smiles.
~Ā End of Flashback ~
Then they replied to the raven-haired women, "I met him through Jaskier actually. I bumped into the lovely bard when I was out at the shop, he asked if I wanted to meet his friend Geralt, I agreed because Jaskier seemed nice enough," they heard Yennefer scoff at that, but let them continue, "When I met him I was, to be completely honest, rather intimidated by him." They paused and pondered for a moment, "But I'm comfortable around him now, he's not as intimidating as he seems."Ā
Then Yennefer speaks, "You like him." She simply stated after deducing that the (Y/H/C)-haired Mage's story matched what Geralt had told her about him meeting a Mage that drove him crazy. (Y/N) was speechless, then spoke, "What? Why do you say that?" The purple-eyed woman smiled and said, "I could tell by how deep in thought you were before you told me how you met him. You had a look of fondness in your eyes as you spoke about him, and your reaction right now just confirms it." She chuckled at the end.
(Y/N) broke eye contact with the older Mage, but didn't deny what was said. Then they spoke, "I don't know what to do with these...feelings. I don't do the whole love story thing." Yennefer just smiled and said, "Just see how it goes, don't rush anything. Tell him your feelings if you'd like, if you're sure about them, and sure you want something to happen." (Y/N) pondered on that a moment, then decided to tell him, hoping he feels the same.
Then they changed the subject, "So, why do you dislike Jaskier so much?" The Mage shifted in her seat then said, "That's a story for another time, I must go, I need to go to Ā Aretuza. Good luck with Geralt. I hope we meet again." Then the raven-haired woman got up and left.Ā
The (Y/H/C)-haired Mage sat there for a moment deep in thought, then remembered their meeting with the Bard and got up and left to find him. On their way to meet him, all they could think about was one thing...
How they were gonna confront Geralt.
They thought to themselves...
That Witcher will be the death of me one day,
ThatĀ fuckingĀ Witcher..
