Reese's Punishment

[part of imagine being childhood friends to lovers with Reese Wilkerson and other stories] Inspired by ep18 season2

Hal and Lois were trying to figure out the best way to punish Reese. They were racking their brains on what would affect him the most since he didn’t seem to care about anything….aside from you. Just then there was a knock on the front door and they watched the way Reese flung himself across the small home to open the door for you. They observed the brightness of his face at the sight of you and how he dragged you to the couch, bouncing with excitement as he told you about his latest recklessness like a puppy seeing his owner for the first time. You were literally at their house earlier that morning to walk Reese to school. Watching the younger couple, Hal and Lois shared a thoughtful look on their faces. Would it be too cruel of them to take away the “love of Reese’s life” (his words not theirs)? Hal thought it was a little mean and even Lois hesitated because she loved having you around as a surrogate daughter but the boy needed to learn.

Reese paused mid-story at the presence of his parents staying in front of his girlfriend and him. “Do you guys mind? I was telling (Y/N) about my run in with the cops.”

“And you think that’s something to be proud of?” Lois scoffs, in disappointment.

“Yeah.” Reese shrugs, increasing the tension and seeing this you stepped in with your own words.

“Actually, Mrs. Wilkerson, research shows that when someone can charm their way out of severe trouble it’s a sign of high intelligence or in Reese’s case dumb luck.”

“Wow, you are so pretty when you talk.” Reese sighs dreamily, not even realising the backhanded insult as you rub your nose against his.

The guilt fills the parents stomachs at how disgustingly sweet you both are, but this must be done.

“Well thank you for that (Y/N), but you see Reese still needs to realize his actions have consequences which means,” The innocent look on your face made him almost give up this idea. “Lois, tell them what it means.”

Lois rolls her eyes at Hal, as she was a little smarter to not look directly at you and instead Reese, “It means (Y/N) is not to be near you for a whole week.”

“HA! You can’t stop me from seeing her at school.”

“It’s a good thing Spring Break starts tomorrow.” And like that Lois wins as usual.

“You can’t take away the one good thing I have in my life!” Reese urges back.

“If it will teach you some responsibility then yes I will.” She turns to you with a sad smile. “I’m sorry (Y/N). You know I love having you around but Reese is grounded for a week. I’ll drive you home.”

You nod your head understandingly, because despite knowing you would miss having Reese by your side 24/7 it would a) give you a moment to breathe and b) you thought it would be fun to see how long Reese lasts without you.

Lois lets you say your final goodbyes as she leads you to the door. Reese stands before you with a cocky smile and scoffs in fake manliness. “You think I can’t make it without my girlfriend? Please, I need time to myself anyways.”

Raising a brow, you place your hands on your hips. “Oh really? I guess if you were looking for some “me time” your punishment should be two weeks instead of one. Right, Mrs. Wilkerson?”

Reese pales at the suggestion, “What? No-”

“You’re right (Y/N). Let’s get you out of here.”

“No, baby please don’t leave me!” Reese cries, throwing himself on his knees to capture your waist. “I was joking! I love you! Please, don’t leave!”

Hal pulls his weeping son off you and holds him in place. Your heart squeezed painfully at his misty eyes, so you cup his cheeks to give his lips a soft kiss. His lips chase yours when Lois leads you out to the car. In the rearview mirror you can see him running after the car before being attacked by his dad.

While you kept yourself busy during the week, Reese was a mess.

“Mom, is Reese dying?” Dewy would ask Lois, who would groan in annoyance and concern. Reese had been locked in his room sobbing into his pillow for 3 days now. He wore your favorite scrunchie on his wrist since it still smelled like your coconut shampoo and talked to the framed picture of you both that he kept on his nightstand. It was bad, or so Malcolm would tell you over your secret calls to check up on Reese.

Torn between pity and amusement you sighed taking a trip to the Wilkerson house to talk to Lois about lifting Reese’s ban. You didn’t even step out of your own front door yet only to find Hal and Lois speaking to your father about how they were wrong to keep you away from Reese. Honestly, your father was hoping the ban would be longer but he knew the boy loves you and you love him so there was nothing he could do. He allowed the Wilkerson’s to take you to Reese, who immediately engulfs you in his arms.

He nuzzles his face in your hair to inhale your coconut shampoo and notices there were notes of peach in it. His stomach twists at the thought that you might have changed, moved on without him (even if it was only shampoo), but he sees you wearing one of his flannels and his heart explodes. He peppers your face in kisses, loving the giggle leaving your lips.

“I see you missed me.” You tease, “And it’s not even a whole week.”

“ (Y/N) I missed you the moment you left.”

“I know. I saw your dad attack you to stop you from chasing after me.”

“He didn’t attack me, I tripped…” You smile at Reese’s attempts to seem like a ‘man’ in front of you.

You pull him down by his neck to kiss him and you feel his hand find their place on your waist. He picks you up to lay down on his bed where he holds you tightly against him.

“Don’t ever leave me again please.” He whispers.

“Never.” You whisper back, burying yourself in his chest as you both drifted off to sleep. It was the best and only sleep Reese had gotten in the past few days.

Hal and Lois smile at the young couple remembering when they were like that in the beginning stages of their romance (they still keep the door open in case). They were now back at the drawing board for Reese punishments. They could always try giving him something then taking it away again, and Hal did just sign up for a cooking class…..
