Summary: Your relationship with him was never supposed to last this long. One night, it was supposed to be only one, and yet here you are.
You woke up at 2am. You were tired, extremely tired from the mission you just got back from. But you were not in your bed. Not even in your apartment.
You were at Deckard’s penthouse.
His bed was far too big. Even if you two were only a fling, the bed felt really cold. He always slept on the opposite side, and only came over to yours when he needed something.
You were not a fan of that approach.
You knew you needed to stop this kind of relationship. Even if you did have your fun and good moments, it wasn’t anything serious.
This whole fling started six months ago, when Hobbs were finally in better terms with the man. You two met, your eyes met, phone numbers got exchanged, a couple drinks and a few hours later you found yourself under him in your bed. And you didn’t complain.
And even though you told yourself that you wouldn’t want more, wouldn’t need more, of course, you ended up wanting more.
Who wouldn’t?
The man was perfect. Even if he was a killer. He was skilled, sexy and handsome. And as you learned during the last couple weeks, he was funny and could be very kind.
About three weeks ago, he texted you to meet him. His usual texts are just an invitation to his bed but this was different. This time, he wanted to have dinner, which did surprise you, but you were very hungry that day, so you went.
You had the best day of your life.
You two had wine, amazing food, dessert, more drinks and at the end mind-blowing sex. Perfect.
Only if it was a real date.
Then, the next week he asked you to meet at his place, and to your surprise, he had a movie night planned.
Of course, with an action movie where he kept on telling you how awful the action was, you really liked that side of him. He was even more open, let his guard down.
Then, you left to your mission with Hobbs and now, you were at his place. You asked him if you could come over and he said yes, you two sat on his balcony with a nice glass of whiskey, just talking about everything and anything.
The two of you went to bed after what felt like hours and hours of talking. But he was just too far away.
His bed was way too big for your liking.
After such a stressful job, you wanted someone to hold you, to run their hands up and down your back and tell you that it was okay.
However, you felt lonely, even if he was right next to you. You slowly sat up and as quietly as you possibly could, you walked out of the room and to the bathroom then to the kitchen to get yourself some water. You hoped it would help but it didn’t.
You knew what the problem was.
You were not sure what you and Deckard were. You wanted to be in a serious relationship with the man, but you were sure if you told him that, he would leave and you would never see him again. And that terrified you.
You weren’t sure if you wanted to bite the bullet and tell him about your feelings, you didn’t want to lose him. Even as a friend he was great, and your stupid feelings could ruin everything.
You put the glass down but before you could go back upstairs you saw a person standing in the dark. Thankfully the years of experience made you not freak out in a situation like this, it still scared you a little.
“Trying to sneak up on me?” you asked.
“Not at all, are you okay?”
“Oh, yes. I think it’s still the adrenaline from the job. I’ll be out like a light soon.”
“I could practically hear you thinking up there. What’s on your mind, Sweetheart?” he walked over to you and embraced you, kept you close but not too close so he could still see your face even in the dark. Damn him and the mixed signals he is giving you.
You debated seriously for a moment to just tell him everything. Pour out everything you had in you. Leave your heart on a silver plate for him right next to a dagger and see what he would do with it.
You looked into his eyes, let your hands, fingers and palm run over his features, in case this would be the last time you would be able to touch him.
Then you jumped right off the cliff.
“What are we Deckard? Colleagues? Friends with benefits? Or are we…dating? I’m just confused.”
He froze.
Oh, no. No no no no no.
Now you have done it. You have lost him.
“Sweetheart…I-I-“ he was stuttering and from what you could tell, Deckard was not a man to stutter. But you just stood there, in his arms, waiting for him to just spit it out. “I thought we already were…dating.”
You blinked. Like a fish out of water, you opened and closed your mouth, not sure what to say.
“I wasn’t exactly clear about it I guess. When I asked you to meet me three weeks ago… that was a date. I thought it was obvious but I guess not.”
“I’m stupid.” you felt embarrassed. As you put your head into his chest to hide your face, not that he would see it in the dark, but you were sure you looked as bad as you felt.
As a response, he wrapped his arms around you.
“I’m sorry, Darling, I should have been more forward about this, but romance is not my speciality.” you tightened your arms around him, letting him know that it was okay. “I assumed you would realize when I wouldn’t only ask you to come over for sex. I really do like you, Y/N. I liked you for the last six months, but I was too stupid to say anything. And I made you worry.”
“Looks like both of us are stupid.” you smiled as you pulled back to look at him, he smiled and so did you.
“Stupid in love.” said Deckard before he pulled you in for a slow kiss.
Oh, yes, both of you were definitely stupid in love, but if someone, the two of you would be able to do it.
After the kiss, both of you made it back upstairs and into bed where he held you all night long, which he planned on doing for the rest of his life.
And finally, you no longer felt lonely.
