Hey uh- could i request another barley x reader? the previous one was so cute! maybe some sort of date night one-shot? whatever you chose!❤️
Thank you so much for requesting!! I’m gonna become the CEO of Barley fanfics LOL! (I’d
gratefully take that title tho)
To put you on a bit of context, this takes place AFTER the movie unlike my previous one-shot, of
course I’ll try to keep it as spoiler free as possible considering the movie is going to come out to
Disney + in just a few days and some of you haven’t seen it yet, but maybe I slip something so,
please beware.
Also, I have been reading more fanfics in English recently and noticed they are written in a
you-did-this-and-said-that way instead of how we do them in Spanish; I’ll be continuing to them in
my way unless you guys tell me it annoys you or something.
WELL, SORRY FOR KEEPING YOU WAITING, LET’S GET TO IT! ALSO THIS IS SO LONG
SORRY--
(Y/N) definitely had no idea how she ended up on the Lightfoot’s home. Now, listen, it’s not that
she didn’t like them ‘cause she as hell did it was just confusing considering a few hours prior to that she was just walking around the neighborhood.
“Ian, come on! Show her your magic!” Barley was having a hard time since he was trying so hard
to make his little brother show the girl how his magic worked and poor Ian was shy about it, sure
his confidence had been boosted but, come on, that was way too much pressure.
“Barley it’s okay, really, I believe you. I bet it’s amazing and you guys make an incredible team
together. Let Ian go.” the girl chuckled seeing as the smaller elf smiled thankful and made his
way out of the room feeling relieved.
“What? No! Ian get back here!!” see, the boy with a cast on his arm was hoping to use his brother
as an excuse to have the female the longest time possible by his side, he was definitely going to
ask her on a date but needed that boost of confidence being in a room with people gave.
Although now that they were alone he wouldn’t lie saying it wasn’t enjoyable, but soon that
intimate moment of piece was to be broken by the young girl standing up making the bed rigid on
the side she had been sitting on.
“This was... fun. But I really should get going home, my family would be worried plus it’s lunch
time and... You know.” (Y/N) tried to excuse herself as politely as possible seeing as how she
didn’t want to give the impression she wasn’t having fun and didn’t enjoy the presence of the
older son of the Lightfoot’s family. Barley soon realized he had to jump now and ask her out or
he’d never get the chance to. “Would you like to meet me? Alone? Maybe drive around, have
dinner...” the boy put on his widest smile as if that were going to make her accept his invitation.
“Wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you... Asking me out? On a date? Tonight?” the girl replied trying to
hide her grin while putting a strand of her voluminous hair behind her pointy ear which had
efficiently caught the male’s attention. “I wouldn’t call it a date, more like a quest to make you fall
in love with me because I totally am and it would be pretty cool if you did as well? But, you could
always call it a date, I wouldn’t correct you even though you’re completely wrong.” that was
enough to make the small elf chuckle which made Barley’s heart skip a few beats.
“It’d be a pleasure to help you complete this quest oh-so-awesome Barley Lightfoot. How about
8? No need for formal clothes, quests don’t require suits or dresses.” now it was him who was
chuckling, how couldn’t he? His friend had never ever ever played his favourite roleplaying game
yet always tried her best to make as much references to it without completely failing at the
process, it was adorable. “8 sounds amazing. Farewell, oh-so-cool-to-play-games (Y/N) (S/N).”
And so the time came and the bell started ringing; one, two, three, four times and just as the fifth
was about to made itself present the girl rushed to the door “Okay, okay got it! I’m coming!” grabbing
the door handle she opened it revealing the young elf wearing a suit -well, a modified one since the
sleeves of his jacket were completely gone and decided to wear jeans with the suit, formal for sure-
contrasting with her usual clothing. “We said no dressing up!” the boy just shrugged and clearing his
throat he moved to the side revealing Guinevere 2 in all its glory. “Shall we get going?” the girl smiled
and gladly accepted getting out and making sure to close the door.
They made their way to the van and Barley hurried to open the door of the passenger seat bowing as
his friend got inside and closed the door trying -and failing- to hide his smile. As soon as they were both
seated the boy opened her mouth and took a folded piece of paper from his pocket. “So, (Y/N)... I hope
your ready for our quest because I’ve been planning this all day!” slowly the boy opened the folded
paper showing a drawn map of different places in Mushroomton that he thought would be of interest
and appropriate for a date surprising his companion in the process. “Did you realy do that? That’s so
impressive…” the male just smiled and motioned for her to hold the map and turned on the engine.
“Now my incredible partner, tell me, which is the first stop?” he couldn’t help the excitement his tone
glad everything was going according to plan at the moment.
“Uhm, well, the exciting-full-of-teenagers house of fun?” what kind of name was that? The drawing
didn’t really gave much about the place either, not only because his art skills weren’t exactly… Clear?
But because he modified them to be fitting on the Quests of Yore world. “Heading there!” and just like
that the car drive began. They both were constantly talking and joking, it may have been a date-quest
thing but after all they were still friends, why would they be quiet?
When they finally arrived to the place she got out the car excited to see what it was about and found a
luminous neon sign indicating the entry to the arcade.
“The arcade was the exciting-full-of-teenagers house?” again the elf just shrugged grinning which made
the female roll her eyes. “Amazing! I’m actually thinking this is going to be the greatest day of my life…”
What can I say? Videogames were definitely something they both were extremely good at and that
sparked a tiny competition between them. Driving games? You bet! That knock the clown game that’s
always typically seen in carnivals at those cheesy romantic movies? Yup! In the end they decided to
count the tickets each one got to decide a winner.
“I’ve got… 238 tickets, how about you, Lightfoot?” the boy didn’t seem happy and (Y/N) soon knew he
was dreading his defeat. “I got 197....” mockery could be heard from the female’s lips before they cut off
the rivalry and decided to combine both of their tickets getting 435 tickets which were enough for…
“A unicorn rubber?!” the girl sighed as they were gettin in the car again. “I hate this stupid games,
they’re fun but you alway have to win around a billion tickets to actually WIN something.” she continued ranting, something Barley found really entertaining but cut her off mid sentence as they were running
out of time. “When did you have to get home?” it effectively cut her off. There was a small silence
before she could respond “Around 10 I believe, you know how they are…” he just nodded and looked at
his watch; it was 9:17 meaning they had to do a shortcut on their plans.
“Okay, we’re runnin out of time, skip the following two places and tell me the next one after them.” she
did as asked and traced the drawn road with her fingers. “It says brainwash.” an odd name for sure.
Of course, brainwash was referring to movies, they were going to watch a movie specifically a drive in
movie, is there anything more romantic than that? No.
“Barley… This is so sweet, thank you! What movie are they playing?” turning her head towards the
giggly boy she asked nothing but amusement in her face. “No idea. I’m gonna go grab popcorn, make
yourself comfortable on top of Guinevere 2, please.” just like that he was gone and (Y/N) had a new
adventure, finding the way she could get on the van’s roof.
After a while Barley got back with a huge stack of popcorn finding her loved one on the roof, smiling to
himself he admired all of her features. Soon he got on top shaking the oh-so-special van on the
process. “Here’s the popcoooorn!” he announced with an excited tone and put them between him and
the girl.
The movie was ten minutes in and no noise was heard but the sound of chewing popcorn. Leaning in
the female asked in the boy’s ear “Do you like this movie?” he replied in a whisper “No it’s so boring.”
that’s when they both started laughing being shushed by the cars around them. “Let’s get out of here.
We still have twenty minutes left.” Without bothering to take the popcorn they both walked north finding
a calm forest where they laid on the grass looking at the sky. “So, Barley, is it true? That you like me?”
That was a very direct question he definitely wasn’t prepared for “Well, of course it is! You’re an
incredible girl, an incredible friend and I bet you’d be an incredible girlfriend!” the girl chuckled making
Barley’s heart melt. And then, he asked “Do you like me?”.
Silence hurts, so much, but before any assumption could be made she replied “Yes, of course I do.”
“So, have you completed your quest now?” (Y/N) curiously asked. “I still have one more thing to do.” and, the kiss came.
Oh boy was that long... Hope you enjoyed your request and for everyone else, request! Don't be shy!
