Pairing: Daveed Diggs x Black!Reader
Rating: M for Language
Summary: Reader takes a day off from her show to spend quality time with Daveed when he returns home from filming but miscommunication about a couple’s game night is anything but fun.
Note: This takes place way before Daveed and Reader have Baby Daniel. Also, I’m going to try to post more often life has been extremely busy but I still want to make more time for posting on here.
Part One Part Two Series Masterlist
You scurried around your New York apartment buzzing with excitement. Daveed was due at your place any minute now, you were able to take one day off from your show just so you could spend the night with your boyfriend. Daveed had returned yesterday from doing a tour with clippng. and you were going to the spend the evening together after being part for almost a month.
Once you were pleased with the dinner you had prepared for the two of you, you went to your bedroom to start getting ready.
“Please act right,” You mumbled to yourself. You could admit that you were not the best styling your own hair, you’ve looked at countless YouTube videos but most of those women had 3c or 4a hair texture. Wash-n-Go’s never worked on your hair texture and most of the YouTubers used products that you didn’t prefer, like Cantu. It took days of searching before coming across Jenn Jackson and from there you’ve been following her videos trying different hair styles.
The sound of the door opening made you smile widely, you wrapped up the finishing touches on your hair and gave yourself one more look over in the mirror. You were wearing your favorite pair of jeans that made your ass look like Serena’s, your nude red bottoms, and a black lingerie top. You walked out to the living room and couldn’t contain the huge smile that was forming on your face. You ran over to your boyfriend and jumped into his arms, not wanting to let him go.
“I missed you,” You said into his neck
“I missed you too, baby.” He kissed you before placing you on the ground he looked at your outfit and you frowned at the look he was giving you.
“What’s wrong?”
“That’s a little sexy for game night. I don’t know if I want all them people looking at my girl.” Daveed chuckled
“Game night?”
“Yeah, remember the game night I told you about.”
“Daveed, you never mentioned a game night to me. Besides, do we have to go? I wanted to spend the night with you,” You said rubbing on his arm
“Babe, I know, but I already promised my friends that I’d go.”
“Okay, but I don’t want to go, so you can go out with your friends or whatever, have fun.” You said going back to your bedroom to get dressed for bed, so much for your night in.
“Y/N, I don’t wanna go alone, though. It’s a couples night.”
“I don’t wanna go so yo go have fun with your friends.” You said growing irritated by the second.
“It’s not gonna be long, we can do our couples night tomorrow night.”
“No we can’t I have a show tomorrow.”
“Well, then the perfect reason we should hang out tonight.”
“Daveed, the last thing I wanted to do was go out, you can go by yourself.”
“But it’s a game night.”
“I don’t want to go, Daveed. I want to stay in.”
“Just one night, babe.” You rolled eyes, knowing you were losing this battle.
“Fine, whatever, I have to change my clothes.” Daveed kissed your cheek and quickly left the room.
Daveed sighed heavily, it been an hour since you agreed to go.
“Y/N! Come on babe, Roger said they’re waiting for us.”
“I’m doing my makeup, almost done.” You shouted from your bathroom, still upset with your boyfriend you decided to take a little bit longer than usual to get ready for the game night you didn’t want to go to. You walked it of your bedroom and saw Daveed prowled out on the couch.
“Finally,” Daveed huffed
“Don’t catch an attitude, I don’t even wanna go,”
“You can stay home, Y/N.”
“It’s game night.” You said imitating Daveed
The car ride to his friends place was a loud awkward one, Daveed had the music blasting so whenever you asked him a question or tried to start a conversation he wouldn’t hear you.
“Do you know if Jasmine and Ant are gonna be there?” You asked trying to to talk over the music
“Babe!” Nothing.
“Daveed!”
“Huh?”
“Do you know if Jasmine and Ant are gonna be there?”
“Huh?” You scoffed growing frustrated
“Never mind.”
When the two of pulled up to the house, you quickly got out of the car not wanting to be there a second longer. Daveed knocked on the door and was met with his friend Roger who was definitely already drunk.
“Hey! You guys finally made it!” Roger pulled the two of you in for a hug which you reluctantly accepted. Pulling away, you walked into the brownstone, scanning the room you saw very few people you knew, these were mainly Daveed’s friends. You glanced at Daveed and saw him parading around the room like he didn’t come with you. He dragged you to this party the least he could do was introduce you to his other friends. Deciding to make yourself a drink you walked to the kitchen and helped yourself to the copious amounts of wine and liquor.
“Y/N!” Your head shot up and you smiled graciously seeing your friends Amber and Raymond.
“Hey guys,”
“Girl, I’m surprised you’re here. Didn’t you say you and Daveed were gonna be at your place tonight?” Amber questioned, you gave her a pointed look and took a long sip from your Crown and Pepsi.
“Okay, we just gonna leave that there,”
“Right there,” You insisted
“Well, let’s take a shot. No reason to be sober and miserable!” Raymond suggested
“I’m down for that. I’ll take a shot of Jim Beam.”
“Damn, Y/N, that’s what we on tonight?”
“Why not?” You all raised your shot glasses “To better paychecks and multiple orgasms.” You said taking your shot. Most of the game night was spent with you talking to Amber and Raymond, you noticed Daveed was talking to a girl that was sitting too close to him for your liking.
“Amber, who’s that, sitting next to Daveed?”
“Oh, uh, um, that’s Nadine.”
“Well where the hell is her date?” You asked
“I don’t know she came by herself.”
“Did they date?”
“They messed around for a minute. It was nothing Y/N, come on I think we’re about to play Kings.”
Throughout the entire game, you and Daveed sat on opposite sides of the room. If someone was here that didn’t know you, they wouldn’t have guessed you were a couple. It was Daveed’s turn and he picked 8
“8, Date! We all know who he’s gonna pick!” Roger exclaimed
“Uh, Imma go with Nadine.”
“That ain’t fair, you know I’m a light weight.” Nadine laughed hitting Daveed’s chest. You tried to hide the hurt as best you could, but Amber saw it.
“Y/N, you good?”
“Mhmm, I’m great.”
It was Nadine’s turn and she had to ask someone a Truth or Dare and of course it was just your luck that she picked you..
“Y/N, truth or dare?” She started with that annoying ass voice
“Truth.” Nadine rolled her eyes dramatically
“Bitch, you lucky I’m even acknowledging you in the first place,”
“Aight, aight, just ask the question, Nadine.” Daveed interjected
“If you could have a threesome with Daveed for his birthday, who would you pick to join?” You frowned, who the fuck did this bitch think she is.
“Well, Daveed don’t need a threesome, I’m more than enough for him.”
“But what if he wants something new?” She tested, you got her number, you know exactly what type of game she was trying to play.
“Then I’ll put on a wig.” You said giving her phony smile. Not wanting to play anymore you sat in the kitchen and wait fos party to be over.
“Babe,” You looked up and there was Daveed standing in the doorway, you rolled your eyes at your boyfriend and went back to scrolling through instagram. Daveed took a seat beside you at the table but you still avoided eye contact with him.
“Y/N, I’m so sorry, I know I’ve been a jerk. I want us to try to enjoy the rest of the night.” You were about to give in when you heard Nadine’s nasally voice
“Daveed there you are!” The girl slurred, she stumbled over to the table
“Oh you’re Christine, right?” Nadine asked, they girl may have been a little tipsy but she knew exactly what she was doing.
“It’s Y/N”, you corrected
“So are you his cousin or something?” Your head snapped up to look at Nadine, Daveed’s eyes bounced between you and Nadine. He knew how you can get for Nadine’s sake he hopes she wold back off.
“You know very well who I am.”
“Oh yeah, my bad. It just slipped my mind, Daveed never mentioned you to me.” You never let a bitch see you sweat so you hid your shock very well.
“Daveed and I text all the time, he didn’t tell you.”
“Nope,” You said passively aggressively
“Hmm, we talk about everything. Oh I’m sorry to hear about the musical, I heard they went with a different route.” Daveed could literally hear the last straw snap. You downed the rest of your drink and slowly approached Nadine
“Y/N, let’s go back to the game.” Daveed suggested, you ignored your boyfriend and got right in Nadine’s face. You stared her down, you could tell you were intimidating her.
“Lissen, one thing about it, two things for sure. I’m not gonna argue with no bitch who get her nails and hair done at Walmart.” You turned back to Daveed who was nervously scratching the back of his neck.
“I’ll leave you and your ‘date’ alone,” You left the kitchen but not without bumping into Nadine on the way out, you were so over this so called game night. The rest of the night went terribly, you and Daveed avoided each other like you were strangers.
You were laughing at something Amber said when all of the sudden, you saw Daveed walking more so like marching toward you, he grabbed your arm and pulled you into the bathroom.
“Nigga, what the hell is your problem?”
“Take it down, Y/N.”
“Take what down?”
“Your instagram story.”
“No,” You replied folding your arms
“Y/N, you know how I feel about keeping our relationship private.”
“It is private, I didn’t post anything. Don’t worry, Nadine and all them other bitches still think you’re ‘single’.” You started to leave the bathroom, when Daveed put his hand on the door.
“Y/N, I’m not playing with you.”
“Me either,”
“Y/N, I’m serious.”
“So am I, I meant what I posted, you can take that however you want.”
“We’re leaving.”
“Says who?”
“Me,”
“Well I’m not ready to go yet.”
“Damnit, Y/N.”
“No, you don’t get to drag me to this stupid party and then when you want to leave we leave. Nah, that ain’t how this goes. We gonna when I feel like leaving.”
“We are leaving now, I don’t want to have this conversation here.”
“Oh, you don’t want to Nadine to hear us?”
“I’m not even gonna respond to that. Take it down.” Daveed stormed out of the bathroom slamming the bathroom door shut. You examined yourself in the mirror trying to compose yourself, this was probably the worst night ever and all you wanted to do was go home. Looking somewhat presentable you left the bathroom.
“Daveed—-” What you saw didn’t even make you mad you were hurt. Nadine was whispering something in Daveed’s ear. He laughed and she slipped something into his pocket before sauntering away. Daveed looked up at you and went wide eyed.
“Y/N,”
“Let’s go,” You said calmly, as you stormed out of the house.
The car ride back was even more awkward than the one to the party. You stared out the window watching the steady rain hit the window.
Daveed pulled up to your apartment building, you were quick out of the car not wanting to even look at him right now.
“Y/N, can you at least look at me?” You were hoping he would wait until you got inside, but hearing him call your name made you snap, whipping around you glared at him
“Daveed, I really don’t even want to do this right now. Nothing productive is gonna come out this conversation.”
“But I know how you are when you get mad.”
“Daveed, I already said I don’t want to talk about it tonight.”
“I don’t want us to be in the same bed and we still angry.”
“Who said you was sleeping here?”
“Um, excuse me? Whatever the fuck you two got goin’ on can you discuss that inside? It’s three in the got damn morning.” A voice called from an apartment above.
“Sorry, Ms. Rodney,” You shouted back, you turned to go inside Daveed hot on your heels
“Where the fuck you think you going?”
“Inside, we need to talk about this.”
“We don’t have to talk about shit!”You walked into your apartment Daveed following slamming the door shut.
“Don’t be slamming my doors!”
“Come on, Y/N, I’m not leaving until you talk to me.” You moved around your apartment ignoring your boyfriend
“Y/N, Y/N!”
“Fine! Let’s talk about it, why the fuck are you texting your ex?”
“Huh?”
“Oh now you can’t hear me? Why are you texting her?”
“Y/N, it’s not even like that. She made it hot for no reason.”
“And if it wasn’t like that why didn’t you tell me?”
“Cause it wasn’t like that, is that why you’re mad?”
“Wh-yes, Daveed!”
“We wouldn’t even be in this situation if you ain’t act like a child.”
“You’re blaming me?”
“You should’ve communicated with me, Y/N!”
“Really, you wanna talk about communication, you didn’t communicate with me Daveed. I wanted to stay in tonight, I communicated that with you, but no you wanted to go to that game night. Probably to see that ugly ass ex of yours.”
“You really mad about going to a game night?”
“No, Daveed, you didn’t treat me like your girlfriend tonight. You let that trifling ass-”
“Come on Y/N, don’t be like that.”
“You let that trifling ass bitch, treat me any type of way.”
“I don’t care about Nadine and you shouldn’t either. She all talk.”
“She all talk? How would you feel if one of my ex boyfriends came at you the way she did?”
“It wouldn’t bother me, Y/N.”
“Bullshit! You’d be ready to fight. If you saw my ex boyfriend whispering in my ear you would knock his ass out.” Daveed was quiet knowing you were right
“Exactly, instead of spending time with your girlfriend, you spend the whole night with crusty ass hoe.”
“Well, probably because she was actually like a girlfriend.”
“Fuck you Daveed! Get the fuck out!”
“Y/N, I didn’t mean it!”
“Get the fuck out now and give me my damn keys back!”
“Y/N, I didn’t mean that.”
“Daveed get the hell out now!” Daveed started to leave when you stopped him,
“Give me my keys,”
“Come on Y/N, really?” You glared at him not backing down. Daveed sighed he dejectedly gave you the key to your apartment back. You followed Daveed to your door
“Y/N, can we talk about it?”
“Why don’t you call Nadine, I hear she’s pretty fun.” You replied condescendingly before closing the door in his face.
