Slowly, your eyes flutter open. You gaze up at the man whom you fell asleep on, he's still sound asleep, softly snoring in the slight beam of sun peeking in through his dark red curtains. He has giant dark bags under his eyes and you can't tell if it's from the fact he was in a fight or because he cried or because he slept good. He looks so peaceful, it fills your heart with glee to see him sleep so well. You slowly return to your previous position, attempting to not disturb him. He groans softly, he gently adjusts his position as well. "Y/N..?" Joseph asks sleepily, his voice is slightly horse. You hum softly in response. "What time is it…" He grumbles as he stretches and rubs in between his brows. You reach up and grab his left arm, you pull it down to your face to read his watch. "Oh.. I should've done that.." He admits. "It's…. 6:45 A.M…" You answer, concern fills your voice. Did you fall asleep early or did you barely sleep at all? You feel rested… "Oh jesus.." Joseph groans. He sighs deeply before he scoots up so he can sit up propped against the arm rest. "You fell asleep around eight-ish… And considering I remember nothing after that I'm assuming I also fell asleep around eight.." He confesses. You sigh in response. "Uh oh… looks like today is going to be a long day…" You think to yourself. A male voice rings out inside your head. "No it won't.. be at least a little bit optimistic. It'll be fine… I promise." You look up at Joseph, he's smiling down at you. Huh… seems he can talk in your head.. seems like something he should have mentioned. There's no telling what else he can do that he hasn't revealed yet. Maybe he did mention or did it before and you forgot.. He winks at you in response, you roll your eyes and start to get up but he quickly wraps and arm around you and holds you against his chest. "No… noo… you love it here.. you love laying with me…" He says as he dramatically wiggles his other hands fingers over your head as if he's casting a spell. "Josephhh… it's too early for thisss…" You whine, he chuckles in response. "Nonsense.. I need my morning cuddles. Now lay down." Joseph demands calmly.

You try to get up once more but you're stopped by his iron like grip.. so instead you lean back against him in defeat. He starts to rub your back and carefully leave a trail of kisses along your forehead… maybe you needed morning cuddles too. "How did you sleep last night, dear?" Joseph asks quietly. "I slept good, like a rock. How did you sleep, lover boy?" You ask quietly. "Good.. thank you for asking." Joseph responds softly. "No, thank you for asking." You say with a giggle, Joseph giggles as well. "Soo.. what do you want for breakfast?" Joseph asks after a long moment of wonderful loving silence. "I want a diner burger! ..Or the waffles… they looked good." You answer. He sighs long and hard. "My, you're going to be a handful.." Joseph responds. "Heyy…" You pout. Joseph chuckles at you and kisses your head. "It's not a bad thing, it's simply a fact." He says chipperly as he pats you twice on the back. "Gee.. thanks.. that makes me feel so loved." You respond sarcastically. "Alright, since you want diner food, how about I eat breakfast here because I'm not a lunatic trying to eat unhealthy greasy burgers and get a heart attack at…" Joseph pauses and checks his watch before putting his hand back on your back and continuing. "Seven O' one A.M. and you go get diner food and you can either bring it back here orrrr we can meet up for lunch at your work place. I could stop by the diner to pester you before I run some errands. By the way… you start your doctor job at nine and it ends at one and you immediately start your police job at one and it ends at five. I'll be there to pick you up for dinner and I won't take no for an answer." Joseph finishes. You process the information and try to memorize the times, once you think you've got it you respond. "You're going to try to get me to live with you again, aren't you?" "I have no idea what you mean." Joseph quickly responds. "You're going to keep pampering me and being sweet to me until I come over here where you can have me all to your dirty little self." You tease. You roll over and grab at his pelvis before you blow on it making raspberry noises. Once you stop you sit on his legs and look up at him, he's flushed bright red. It takes him a moment to regain enough sentience to respond. "I am not…. totally not… going to do that…" Joseph responds quietly.

"So you're not planning on popping the question again after dinner?" You ask. "Shut up." Joseph says as he turns away from you. "Okay! That's enough cuddle time!" Joseph announces loudly as he starts to lightly push you off him. You stand up and stretch real big. Joseph swiftly slips off the couch and scurries to the kitchen where he stares at you behind the kitchen island. "What? You think that'll protect you from me?" You tease. "First off, be careful arousing me this early, I might just take you right here right now." Joseph says as he pats the island's marble counter. "Second, pop the question implies marriage and when I'll do that will be a surprise. But now you must live the the fact that I am planning on making you my bride and I won't stop until you fall deeply and madly in love with me, just as I have you.. if you aren't already. And I'll remove any and all obstacles. Trust me." Joseph threatens. You flush so red you feel like your head is going to pop. "It's a bit early to consider marriage.. isn't it?" You ask shyly. "It's also a bit early to have sex with someone you just met yesterday but that didn't stop you now did it?" Joseph sasses. You pick up a couch pillow and chunk it at him in retaliation. He catches it in mid air and throws it at your head, it hits you right in the face. Luckily, he did it gently. "Not to mention we BOTH considered marriage as soon as we met, don't act like you're immune to that argument.." Joseph states calmly, knowing damn well you can't argue with that. You lift up a finger and open your mouth but quickly snap your mouth shut and put your finger back down, realizing you have absolutely no way to get out of the corner he backed you into. "Mhm. That's what I thought." Joseph says victoriously. Joseph wanders about the kitchen getting various ingredients for his breakfast. You cross your arms and waddle over to him, he's setting the various items on the kitchen island. Once you're next to him you lay your head on his shoulder, he reaches a hand up and pats your head.

After he has everything organized he turns around fully and grabs both of your shoulders, he turns you so you're facing him as well. He grabs your chin and lifts your head up to face him, seemingly his favorite way to torture you, then he leans in and plants a kiss right on your lips. His lips are so soft, you're shocked. You're sure yours are probably shriveled as hell from dehydration. The hand that was left on your other shoulder slowly slips around your torso, pulling you close to him. He parts the kiss and smiles at you, you smile back as you feel joyful tears threaten to fall. "Y/N, I will never leave you.. I love you very deeply. I've never loved or cared about anyone before, but you… I could never live without. So any doubt you have in your silly little head needs to be extinguished because I assure you I love you with all of my heart and soul and I want you to be mine forever and ever. And if you doubt for even a millisecond that I'm not going to propose eventually then you're insane… a lot like me, ..apparently." Joseph chuckles. You giggle as tears stream down your face, you weren't expecting that this morning.. You reach up and cup Joseph's cheeks, he leans in and kisses you before you can kiss him. It seems he knows your tells already. Both of his hands drift down to your hips and he holds you steadily against him. You snake your arms around his shoulders and embrace him tightly, he leans into your touch, yearning for more affection. A few minutes go by before you both part once more. "Thank you Joseph… I feel the same way.." You confess, Joseph beams and a big bright smile stretches across his face. It's nice to see him smile without blood staining his teeth. His smile could weaken even the strongest heart.

He takes a thumb and holds it on your chin. "Are you sure you don't want to eat breakfast here with me? I could make you anything you'd like.~ Even a tasty burger if you pester me enough. Or.. perhaps, bribe me.." Joseph asks quietly. "Come to the diner with me, we'll have so much fun! We can gossip about the people that come in or plan future dates or talk more or.." Joseph slowly puts his index finger over your lips to shush you. "Go have fun baby, I would go, I want to go, but I really need to get ready for some thing as I eat. I've got to pack a thing and do… some things. I'll meet you for lunch, okay baby girl?" Joseph asks softly. His hazel eyes burn into you, you don't have an ounce of doubt that he'll do what he says. You nod. "What kind of errands?" You ask softly. "Alien business, none that you need be concerned about." Joseph responds. You catch his drift, alien business that could get you killed if he told you. "I'll miss you.." You say in a hushed tone as you reach up and give him a kiss on his jawline. You feel his shoulders untense slightly and he sighs softly. You pull away, he opens his shut eyes and looks at you like you're the light of his life. "Be careful, baby.." You whisper. He kisses your forehead before finally letting you go. His attention returns to his various items and he starts to concoct some scrambled eggs and.. something else? "Baby..?" You ask quietly, Joseph hums in response. "How is your eye and stuff doing.. does it feel at least a little better?" You ask with concern plastered across your face. Joseph smirks a little at your concern before he turns and lifts his light musky green T-shirt, revealing his giant brouse. It's no where near as big and it's already fading. You look back up at his face and realize his cuts seem to have healed already too, not completely, but enough to where he doesn't need the butterfly stitches anymore. You reach up and slowly peel the sticker stitches from his eyebrow and his lip, they look like they won't scar. "The eye will take a bit more time, however.. because it's an organ." Joseph informs you. You nod. You walk over to the stainless steel trash can located beside the island on the side closest to the entrance and drop the stitches in there. You respond as you watch the lid slowly close shut. "Okay.. I'm just glad you're healing so well and rapidly. I was so worried.." "I know you were.. I'll be fine. I told you I'd be fine." Joseph says softly before he walks over and plants a kiss on your forehead once more. You reach up and give Joseph a big giant bear hug which he happily reciprocates before you rush to his bedroom to pick up all your clothes from the floor.

You look around but you can't find a single piece of clothing until you look on the nightstand to the right of the bed, where they are neatly folded on top of one another. "Thank you Joseph!" You yell out as you grab your pants and slip into them. "No problem, sweetheart. Get back safe, will ya?" Joseph yells back. "Of course! I'm sure if there was any trouble you would know and come save me anyway!" You yell out as you make up his bed. "I can do that, dear!" Joseph yells with a slight huff. "I got it!" You respond as you finish up the bed. You quickly slip on your socks and shoes as you exit the bedroom. "What's with the rush? It's almost like you're tired of me already." Joseph says with a frown. "Oh, I'm sorry.. I'm used to rushing to go to work. It's a bad habit, I think I'll probably shake it while living here." You answer. Joseph walks up to you and grabs you by the waist. "What did you used to do?" Joseph asks quietly. "I don't really want to bring up the awful stressful past, just search in my mind real quick. I'm sure if you can talk to me through my head, then you can look through it as well. Just look through everything, actually. I don't care." You answer. Joseph nods before he places a hand on your forehead for a few minutes, then he drops his hand to his side. "Interesting.." He rubs his chin. The smell of almost burning food fills the room. "Joseph, the food, hun." You say. "Oh!" Joseph quickly rushes to the stove where he's making eggs, and though those do smell good.. you still want a tasty burger from down town. It's not that far, anyway. It's like a 15 minute walk at most. "It's…" Joseph looks at the microwaves clock before continuing to stir a bit. "It's seven thirty three, hurry and get to the diner before tons of people come in! If you do happen to want breakfast food when you get there, it sells out quickly, so hurry!" Joseph says as he trots over to you as you're leaving. He turns you around and dips you into a passionate kiss before putting you back on your feet… literally, then waving you off as you hurry down the stairs. "Be careful and don't trip on the stairs! No running on the stairs Y/N! I mean it! The suitcase situation was enough for one week, we don't need another incident!" Joseph yells out. "Will do!" You yell back. You make sure to be extra careful as you go down the stairs because he's absolutely right, you should stay safe and go a normal pace instead of risking a head injury for a burger. You here a distant "Good girl!" echo out before you hear a door shut.

You make it to the diner in what you are assuming was ten minutes, a new record, to be sure. There's barely anyone in here, just one random guy sitting at the bar and a woman in a colorful hippie-ish shirt eating waffles. You've decided to get waffles, they just look too good.. It doesn't help that the hippie looks like she's really enjoying them. You sit down at a booth to the right of the entrance, a waiter quickly assists you. You order the waffles with a bowl of fruit and you just have to try some of that pecan pie, so you order that too. The young man quickly speeds away into the kitchen. You have to say you love the diner's menu. It's probably because you're not used to such a local looking menu, you know, the ones with tons of facts about the town and pictures of the owner and stories about how the place came to be... But you just love it for some reason. You put the menu back into his little cubby and look out the big window. You hope you see Joseph scurry by here while he does his mysterious "errands". Someone walks over to your booth and slides in across from you, it's Harry! "Oh, good morning Harry! How are you this fine day?" You ask chipperly. You weren't expecting to see him here, especially this early, but it's a pleasant surprise. Harry smiles and responds. "I'm well, thank you. How are you?" Harry queries. "I'm good, thank you for asking." You answer. Harry frowns slightly. "You reek of oxytocin, I smelt it when I came in, but I didn't think it was coming from you. Did you have sex last night? Was it with Joseph? And you're wearing a man's red shirt? That is way too big for you... unless you just like to be comfy and those are your pjs, then it's fine." Harry interrogates. "Woah, woah… way too personal, Harry. For all you know I could've masturbated and that's why I smell like that. Mr fancy words. And second, how can you smell... whatever you just said. That doesn't seem like a very... human, thing to be able to do." You tease. "Ah, I apologize, that was rude. But I would not recommend having sex with Joseph, I have not checked him yet, he may have sexual diseases." Harry responds. It seems he chose to ignore your claims of it being weird to smell such a thing. You start to chuckle, Harry is a very funny guy. The waiter comes by with your food and Harry examines the plater carefully. "I would like a bowl of oatmeal with a bowl of fruit and a slice of pecan pie, please." Harry tells the waiter, the waiter nods and rushes back into the kitchen. "I will pay for yours." Harry announces. You quickly get out your wallet and pull out some cash. "No no- Harry, I can pay for it. Look, I have plenty of money…" You stare at the hundreds you just pulled out of your wallet. "I'll be it money you gave me, but I have plenty!" You finish.

"Too late." Harry quickly gets up and speed walks into the back where you hear some indistinguishable chattering before Harry rushes back out and sits down. "Done, It's done. You're too late." Harry says with a chuckle. "…What? No, here." You shove a hundred in his face. "No, that is way too much, and I do not need it." He responds. "Please?" You insist. "It is rude to give a gift back." Harry states with a straight face. He knows he just won the entire argument. You're left speechless, you both stare at each other for a moment before you put the money back in your wallet and pout. "Thank you Harry… Oh! I owe you a pie or a cake for getting me the job! What's your fav-" You get cut off. "Pie, any pie. I love pie... But blackberry pie is particularly good right now. They are in season." Harry answers. "Okay! I'll get the supplies for it after I get off work." You respond. The waiter zooms back over and sets Harry's food in front of him then scurries back into the kitchen. "That was fast.." You mumble. "They are VERY fast here, Mr. Twelvetrees only hires the best. He can't tolerate laziness or incompetence." Harry responds calmly as he takes a bite of his pie. "Well? How is it?" You ask. Harry uses his fork to cut his pie in half and sets it on your plate. "Harry- I have the same pie-" You stop mid sentence as you watch Harry take your pie and cut it in half and put it on his plate. he slides your plate back over to you. "Oh.. okay." You mumble quietly. "Now we both shared. Thank you." Harry says before he takes a big ol piece of pie and dips it in his oatmeal. You have to say... you're thoroughly amused by Harry's antics. "Thank you.." You say with a giggle. You take a bite of your waffles and they are a GOD SEND. You get so wrapped up eating your waffles you forget to speak, you and Harry just sit in silence for over five minutes just eating. Once you finish the last bite of your waffles realization hits and you look up at Harry who is tentatively observing you eat. "Hungry weren't you? A lot like someone who exerted an especially large amount of energy…" Harry says. You immediately notice what he's insinuating and respond. "Harry, for all you know I had an orgy with 5 men at the bar. Let's drop it, okay?" "That would be unsanitary." Harry responds. "It would be fun." You reply. Harry glares at you as you take a big bite of your pie, you close your eyes in ecstasy. It's delicious. You were planning on saying sorry for not speaking to Harry as you ate, but you get the feeling he probably liked observing you in silence.

"Does it please you to upset me" Harry says grumpily as he takes another bite of pie dipped in oatmeal. "A little." You respond with a giggle. You reach over and steal a grape from his bowl of fruit, you pop it into your mouth and pop it with a "pop!". "So… what did you do in New York? Were you a doctor there too? Or were you something else before you were a doctor?" You ask suddenly. Harry looks at you, his mouth is agape, he slowly directs the spoonful of food into his mouth and chews it before setting the spoon down and answering. "I was a scientist. My work was regarded as some of the best of my-… field." Harry answers some what hesitantly. "Oh! What did you do, if I may ask?" You query. Harry makes a high pitched noise as he stares at you. "Oh.. is it personal..?" You ask. "Oh…. no… I made… machinery." Harry responds. "Oh cool! Well anyway, do you like your current job?" You ask, clearly changing the subject for his sake. "No. Yes..? …Maybe." Harry responds. "Well that's okay, I'm sure it feels good to help people though… yes?" You say, throwing Harry a bone. Harry nods and takes another bite of his pie dipped in oatmeal, never breaking eye contact. You honestly think that oatmeal on pecan pie would be a tasty treat. Maybe you'll try it some time. Once he's done chewing he responds again. "I would love to tell you all about my past.. it's just… I can't right now. I'm sorry…" Harry confesses. "No no.. it's okay Harry, I don't mind. You can tell me when you can. Okay?" You say soothingly. Harry nods. "Alright." He says softly. "Hey, what's your favorite color?" You ask kindly. A slight smile stretches across Harry's face. "Red, it's an interesting color. One that is inside many animals, really red is a part of life. Not to mention you don't see it a lot, especially here. You usually see blues and grey that match the often snowy atmosphere... Which makes it all the more special." Harry responds. "Oh! I like red too." You look to the side and smirk, you think about Joseph's red obsession and the fact you're wearing his red shirt right now. You bet it would make Harry ultra pissed if you asked if he liked Joseph's shirt yesterday then told him you're wearing it. Honestly, you're surprised he didn't mention that Joseph was wearing the same shirt yesterday, but you assume since he was ignoring Joseph's presence eighty percent of the time that he probably didn't even notice his shirt. You decide not to poke that ant hill and find out. "What is you favorite color?" Harry asks. "I love the color (color) It's just so unique and pretty. It makes me smile and it brightens my day every time I see it." You answer. Harry smiles in response. He doesn't seem to smile often, but when he does, it makes you very warm inside. You still have no idea whether or not you like him, but you hope today at work you'll figure it out. "What's your favorite food.. ever… in existence?" Harry asks timidly. "Hmm.. probably (food) but I'm not too sure… there's just so many to choose from. How about you?" You respond. "Oh! I love beef steak! Medium rare, of course. I am not an animal. Any kind of beef steak is good with me." Harry answers enthusiastically. "Very good choice!" You say happily, Harry blushes and gazes to the side before looking back at you. You notice he tends to always keep complete eye contact. At first it freaked you out, but now it give you some sort of peace. It's probably because he's so honest and has nothing it hide.. other than the fact he's an alien. But that's a conversation for another time.

Suddenly, Harry stands up, his face bright red. He stares at the ground in front of his feet. "I have to go. Have a good day. Here's some money," He throws a few more hundreds at you. "Harry-" He cuts you off. "You can have the rest of my food, I have no illnesses… I'll see you at work, bye bye." He speeds out of the diner. You sit there in shock and awe before you quickly grab all the hundreds and shove them in your pocket to sort later before someone gets any funny ideas. "That guy.." You mumble under your breath. Suddenly, you hear a series of knocks on the window to the left of you, you look over and see Joseph. He smiles and waves, you wave back and blow a kiss, he catches it and blows one back at you before continuing his stroll down the sidewalk. You giggle to yourself, you're very happy he did end up making an appearance. You end up eating all of Harry's left over food and came to the conclusion that the pie was in fact, very good dipped in oatmeal. You head to the doctor's office thirty minutes early. Once you do finally get there and are shown around the place and your job is described to you, you sit down and start to work. And once you're finally alone you take those hundreds out of your pockets and shove them neatly into your wallet before someone steals them. You're absolutely going to have a talk with Harry later about throwing his money around.

------------------------------------------

Harry is a giant cuddle bug, he will cuddle you any where, at any time. He doesn't care if it's in the middle of a patient's appointment, he's gonna cuddle you. If you're in the building and he decides he wants a cuddle he will just leave his tasks and come to you. He'll hold you in a giant bear hug and refuse to let go for several minutes, someone will most likely have to pry him off you… probably Asta.

He takes you on a date every night, where ever you want to go, he doesn't care where.. just as long as he is with you. If you want to stay inside and cuddle he's more than happy with that. Hiking? Camping? Also good, he can get DNA samples of the local bears… who knows when that'll come in handy. You'd be surprised by the amount of times he wished he had that.

You have to stay at work all day and have to miss the date? That's okay, he'll shirk work and come to yours to help you instead. He's sure Asta will pick up the pieces for him. If she doesn't march to your work and drag him out, of course.

If a single person says something even remotely insulting to you he will just punch them without a single thought and start to choke them with one hand. Usually it's just things he considers rude.

Because you are but a mere squishy human, Harry is insanely protective of you. He will fight over you within a instant and he will go to extreme lengths to keep people that could hurt you out of reach. The bar for example, he will not let you go there. He was honest about the fact he just doesn't trust the routy drunken idiots in there to be around you… which is fair.

He refuses to sleep on his side of the bed, he has to have an arm wrapped around you, if not his whole body. He wraps around you like he's shielding you from the harsh world around you.. it's comforting, honestly.

He's like your giant watch dog teddy bear, he'll kill for you whilst giving you a million kisses.

Harry can cook and does it any time you ask, even if he isn't in the mood. Just seeing you smile as you eat and having you joke around with him as he does so makes it worth while. He also offers frequently if you'd like him to prepare a meal before you get home.. who would say no to a home cooked meal prepared by an alien? If he enjoys it (which he does) why not let the little nut go wild?

He often brings you little trinkets that remind him of you, such as a deer because you are doe like or a kitten because you are soft and sweet like a kitten.. or a tiger because you are fierce and feisty and he loves that about you.. either or.

He often brings you hand picked flowers from the woods… or from someone's garden, who can tell.

He's also known for bringing you your favorite dessert constantly and you're most always craving it when he does… God, what a man.

------------------------------------------

What of earth is that person wearing? He stares at you for a second before continuing on with his life like you never existed… But then he kept seeing you around town in those fancy clothes… and his curiosity grew. Why do they wear these things? They get stared at by everyone around, is that not a bad thing? He was very confused by you, to say the least. Eventually, he did strike up a conversation with you just to see what kind of person you were… Of course he didn't plan on falling in love with you, but in that moment, when you gushed about how much you love the aesthetic of clothing and how excitedly you explained it, he knew he was in love.

He thinks you're the cutest little thing on the planet and you single handedly convinced him that maybe humans aren't that bad. You didn't even do anything, he just thinks you're THAT cute.

He loves to take you out on picnics by the lake, he often dresses up as well and takes a photo of you both, they almost look like those paintings from the 1800s where people are having fun in the park. And yes, he did do it specifically for that reason, just so you two could have aesthetic photos.

If you wear Lolita pajamas he will die, he will literally combust, the man can't handle how cute you look. He will pinch on your cheeks and pull you into a tight bear hug and shower you in compliments.

He tries to look for cute aesthetic food like sugar cookies, animal crackers, and things to bring out with you as snacks that he thinks will match your outfit… it's quite adorable.

Other wise, your relationship is pretty normal… except for all the additional gushing to strangers about how cute his lover is… but otherwise normal! He just thinks you're the cutest thing in the universe, no big deal.

Welcome to Patience: Gifts? (Chapter 3)

Joseph Rainier x F!Human Reader x Harry Vanderspeigle Rating: 16+

Fandom: Resident Alien

Story Type: Fluff / Thriller / Romance / Drama

5,596 Words

-Y/N = Your name- -L/N = Last name-

Music I listened to as I wrote: -"H.S / Tom Cardy"

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Slowly, you unload your various fridge and pantry items into their designated places, occasionally struggling to find room in your fridge to shove your food into. Joseph ended up convincing you to buy WAY too much food with the money Harry gave you. In his words, "It's good to be prepared and to have everything you could possibly want at your disposal." On the bright side, you won't need groceries for weeks, on the downside, you're going to have to store some things in his fridge… which he offered as he shoved more meat into your basket. You actually ended up getting a second basket from Joseph with things he thought you would like, he just randomly disappeared for several minutes as you perused and you figured he forgot something, but then he came back with a basket piled mountain high with a giant smile on his face and at that point you knew instantly it was for you.

You should have suspected considering before he left he asked if you have any food allergies. Your puppy like friend ended up carrying half of your groceries for you as you both walked home.. he is awfully sweet. He warms your heart with his goofiness.You can't stop thinking about Harry, why on earth did he have so much money on him? Is he doing something illegal or is he just paid really well? You wouldn't care if he was doing something illegal, you just don't want him to get hurt. You highly doubt as a small town doctor he's making that much, but he is from New York, so maybe he has a lot saved up from when he worked there that he's blowing. Either way, you're deeply bothered by the fact you have like 300 dollars of Harry's savings, it was thoughtful but also pretty careless to just throw several hundreds at someone you just met then rush out… You're planning on returning the money the next time you see him.

You hear a string of very loud knocks on your apartment door, you rush over to the door expecting to see Joseph, only to be met with the very man you were just thinking of, Harry. He's holding various gift bags of things, you can see a lamp poking through one, and some kind of… pig in another? "You got the job." Harry informs you as he slides past you and carefully sets all the bags onto the floor. "I got you some things for your new home… I put them into gift bags so it would be like Christmas." Harry chuckles. You look down at the array of brightly colored bags sitting around on the floor. "Thank you Harry… that's very sweet.. Oh! Before I forget.." You say as you pull out the three hundred or so dollars you owe Harry. "I do not need that.. I have plenty at home. You keep it… consider it a…" Harry looks to the side in thought before looking back down at you. "Late birthday present." Harry finished.

Knowing that Harry will most likely make you keep the money even if you insist on him taking it back, you give up and shove the money back down into your pocket. "Thank you Harry… that's awfully sweet.. And oh my goodness.. that's so many gifts.. It must have cost so much.." You quietly say as you look around at the many bags on the floor with a hand on your cheek. "And they are all for me..?" You ask quietly, still completely awestruck by the sudden kind surprise. "I have just the thing for that.." Harry rushes over to one of the bags, this one being bright blue, and pulls out a giant piggy bank. "And of course they are all for you. Who else do you see around here… A ghost?" Harry says sarcastically as he looks around your apartment and gestures widely to the large empty space. You giggle at him. "Yeah I guess your right.." You respond. Harry walks back over to you and carefully hands you the piggy bank. He's so gentle when it comes to touching you or handing you things, almost like he's afraid he's going to break you. "I saw it and thought of you.. you remind me of something innocent.. like a piglet. Also no, it did not cost too much, I assure you, I have plenty of money to spare. Spare me your guilt, you deserve gifts." Harry says softly.

It's very cute.. just like any ol' piggy bank but MASSIVE.. and it has cute blushing cheeks. "Thank you Harry.." You say as you feel your heart turn to mush. "Any time." Harry responds calmly. "Oh!" You exclaim, you almost forgot to put your money into it. You pull out your newly "earned" three hundred dollars and shove it into the bank. "It's so cute Harry… Thank you!" You smile brightly, you're genuinely almost brought to tears by all the kind gestures these two dumb dumbs are making. You've never had anyone go this far out of their way for you.. which sounds sad now that you think about it. Tears start to weld in your eyes but you push them back down as you sit in the floor with your legs crossed in front of your various gifts and start to dig. You start to pull out some things from the bags, honestly you think this is better than any Christmas you've ever had because instead of it being expected and obligated, these gifts all came from the heart of a guy you just met. It just feels so much more genuine, he didn't have to do all this, but he did. And that shows a lot about his character.

"What's cute?" You hear Joseph ask to your right, you look over and see Joseph standing in the still very much wide open entrance. He has some sort of dirty towel shoved in his front pocket that's half way hanging out. Harry quietly grumbles something under his breath and a loud growl can be heard underneath that, some how even further proving he's not human. You thought there was no way to further prove it, but no, turns out there's many more ways to do so. Now the only question is, what is he? "Come on in, you vampire. What? Do you need to be invited to enter someone else's space?" You playfully interrogate. "No.." Joseph replies timidly as he swings in and out of the doorway before finally coming in and glaring at all the gifts on the floor. "Please don't tell me that's all from Harry.. If it is, I'm going to have to up my game." Joseph declares some what determinedly. "I'm afraid it is.." You answer sassily. Joseph glares down at you, very much implying a warning, before looking over at Harry. "Please do not "up your game". There is no need for uping your game." Harry quickly pleads. "But you're stealing my girl away." Joseph says quietly, his voice is practically a hush, and there's this undeniable danger lying underneath it.

"YOUR GIRL!?!?" Harry shouts. "Oh? Your girl? We haven't even had our first date yet.." You playfully respond. You continue to look through all your items for a moment before you feel a sense of danger coming from your right. A chill surges down your spine, you look back up at Joseph who is staring at you quite hungerly. "Actually.. that's why I came over here. I'm making us dinner right now and I won't take no for an answer. And based on the fact you have no job and all you were planning on doing today was grocery shop and look for one.. and you're done grocery shopping…" Joseph squats down next to you, never breaking eye contact. "Actually she does have a job.. You start tomorrow at 9 o'clock exactly, by the way. I probably should have told you that earlier.. Oh well. There is no need for her to have-" Harry gets cut off by you. "Nu uh uh.. I said both of you get to get me a part time job so there would be no fighting." You remind him. Harry frowns and grumbles. You look back at Joseph who is still staring at you, seemingly not even acknowledging Harry's presence.

He leans in closer to you. "And you've been guaranteed two jobs.. you have the whole day free… with nothing to do.." Joseph gets right next to your ear. You start to feel your face get hot, you hear Harry protesting in the background but can't make out what he's saying due to your flusteredness. "I think you can spare a few hours for me.. can't you? My dear Y/N." Joseph whispers. You nod slightly in response, Joseph purposely blows a bit of air into your ear, causing you to get chills. Your face flushes bright red, damn, you weren't expecting him to be this forward. You wanted to tease and annoy him a bit more before the date "That's it! We are having a talk!" Harry announces as he grabs one of Joseph's legs from under him, pulling him towards the door. Joseph falls forward and lands right into your chest, he flushes bright red and you some how blush even deeper than you already were, but there's no time to acknowledge the situation at hand or for him to even start to apologize as Harry continues to quickly drag him all the way across the hall to his apartment, Joseph protests the whole way there and you can hear him still protesting through the door as Harry slams it shut and locks it.

The two of them are now in there together.. completely alone… you're sure that won't go terribly wrong. Funny enough, Harry seemingly didn't even notice the incident he just caused as he was facing forward the whole time. You're sure he'll have a fit once he finds out, if he ever does. You can see it now, you chuckle to yourself. You know there's probably going to be a cat fight and try to think of a way to get in but you can't since you have no key and you definitely heard the door lock. You start to hesitantly continue looking through your bags, pulling one of the last items out, a beautiful ceramic orange tabby cat, it's just sitting there, being an absolute delight. Harry really nailed all these gifts, you love each and every one of them. They seem to have a theme too, cute animals or very tasteful table pieces, such as the Dale Tiffany blue butterfly lamp. You think it's kind of sweet that he got you a purple unicorn pillow pet, maybe he thought you were lonely up here by yourself. Suddenly, you hear the door unlock, you quickly look over and see Harry storming out of Joseph's apartment with a black eye, mumbling swears quietly under his breath as he stomps down the stairs and out of sight.

That was way too fast for an entire fight to happen, it's only been like a minute at most! It's been just enough time for you to pull out a kitty from the last bag! Not to mention you didn't hear any punches being thrown or anything break or anyone walk or really move at all, you're pretty sure you would hear their loud footsteps, they are absolute units. You look back at Joseph's open doorway, Joseph walks out of his apartment, slamming the door behind him, and starts to walk over to your apartment. He wipes some blood from his mouth, he also has a black eye on the opposite side as Harry. Once Joseph is inside your place he quietly shuts your door then turns around and smiles brightly, his blood stained teeth on full display. It's deeply disturbing to see someone who normally has pristine white teeth with red ones.

"Okay! Now that that's out of the way, how are your gifts?" Joseph asks, he's clearly trying to act like that didn't happen and brush it off. "What-" You try to ask what the fuck happened and how a whole fight broke out in less than a minute but he quickly interjects before you can even get the second word out. "Oh! The food!!" He blurts as he rushes out of your apartment, leaving the door wide open to both yours and his apartment once more. You throw your hands up in the air in frustration and slowly stand, letting the blood rush back to your brain. You have a nice big stretch and that spot in your back that always pops, pops. You sigh in relief. "Come on! The food is almost done!" You look over and see Joseph's head peeking out of his apartment, after a moment of eye contact he retracts and disappears into his domain. "Coming, just… hold on..!" You yell back. You're already planning on doctoring him once you get over there, obviously he won't be able to enjoy dinner with a bloody mouth. You rush over to Joseph's place, shutting all the doors he left open behind you.

You take a good long look around Joseph's place, his kitchen is to the left of the entrance and to the right there's a wall with two doors. There's food and dirty dishes scattered all over the kitchen's white marble looking island and the marble looking counter tops by Joseph are looking particularly brutal. They seem to be covered in splatters from some kind of red sauce, you assume tomato.. but you're unsure. God, he has a lot of cabinets. There's two rows of them above the stove and fridge… speaking of the fridge he has a giant stainless steel one that makes you envious just looking at it. Yours isn't even close to that big, no wonder he offered to store some of your food. Oh! Your food! You rush back over to your apartment and grab all the food setting on the counter that you couldn't store and rush back to Joseph's place, carefully shutting the doors with your right foot as you go. Joseph notices you carrying a ton of shit and opens the fridge doors for you, he has plenty of room in there. You carefully find a spot for everything then shut the fridge. You look over at Joseph, he takes the small towel out of pocket and wipes his hands on it then leaves it on the counter. "So that's what he had that for.." You think to yourself.

You continue to nose about, there's a giant stainless steel microwave to the right of the fridge that's built in. You think you got a bit ripped off, you don't have a built in microwave either.. maybe he added it in. Maybe he's just slowly upgrading his whole apartment. Joseph looks up at you and smiles. "Welcome to your fall back place. Nose all you want, I have nothing to hide." Joseph says confidently. He turns back to the stove and continues to stir something in a damn expensive looking pot. "Just so you know I'm going to doctor your wounds before we eat." You inform him. "Aww.. How sweet." Joseph responds teasingly, never looking up from the concoction he's stirring. You grumble under your breath and start to walk further in, looking for anything that would show a single ounce of information about Joseph and his past.

As you walk against the wall that you were greeted with to the right of you when you entered, you scope the perfectly clean white walls for any photos of himself or family and friends, but find none. All you find are weird modern prints that you assume came with the place considering you also have some that look the exact same in your place. All that you find that interests you in this part of the large room are the two doors that you assume lead to the bedroom and bathroom… or maybe one is a closet. You almost open one of the doors, you finger tips barely brush against the cold steel door lever before you retract your hand. You don't want to seem like a creep on the first date… you'll at least wait until the second date for that. Joseph starts to whistle a little tune as he cooks, you giggle at him.

You continue forward, trying to ignore the doors that are just begging to be opened. There's a small wall on the left side of the open room that separates the living room from the kitchen. Right next to that small wall is a large, beautifully carved, dining table with spirals and some sort of symbols etched across the edges of the whole thing. It's seemingly made of spruce and has matching dining chairs with the exact same patterns carved along the sides, they're tucked neatly underneath the table. You pull one out, silently claiming it as the spot you will sit at for dinner and probably every time you come here. You admire it's deep, blood red, cushions and gently brush a hand across it, it's so soft.

You push down on it, it seems comfortable too. It seems everything he has in here is of good quality, even the pots and pans he has scattered around seem name brand. You walk back to the corner of the table and trace the symbols embedded into the edge, you examine the symbols but don't recognize a single one of them… For some reason they call out to you, almost like you've seen them before… perhaps in a dream. They almost look.. alien. You quietly try to change your minds subject and glace at the table's centerpiece, a large beautiful wooden bowl with tons of fresh fruits is sitting in the center of the table, along with 2 silver candle holders with a burning white candle in each on either side of the bowl. He seems like a damn good decorator.

You move on to the living room. Sleek, red, futuristic lamps that look like something straight out of a GTA pimp's pint house sets on either side of a big brown leather couch. The side tables they are perched upon are also made of spruce and have the same symbols and pattern as the dining table. You assume all his furniture are made by the same person. You respect the time and dedication someone took to make all these beautiful pieces of work. You gaze over towards the fire place, it's just a normal fireplace, though there are LOTS of knickknacks on the mantle.. you choose to save those for another time. You admire the coffee table in front of the couch, yep, same pattern as all the other furniture. God, it must have taken someone years to complete this whole set of furniture. It has two white marble looking coasters on either end of the side towards the couch and the remote to his tv is neatly sat in front of the left coaster.

Well, from that you can gather that he usually sits there, but you could be completely wrong and that could just be where he keeps it. You look above the fireplace, he has a giant flat screen tv with two speakers drilled into the wall on either side on the tv. Of course he has a separate sound system for his tv, you should have assumed based on his… more than comfortable lifestyle. You're starting to question the salary of the sheriff deputies of this town, there's no way it can be that good.. can it? You examine the rug underneath the coffee table and couch, it's quite spunky, very colorful… oddly enough. Kind of Boho-ish, but otherwise a normal rug. Maybe he wanted to confuse people with the sudden change of color scheme, because he seems to have a dark brown and red theme going on here. Even the throw pillows on his couch are blood red.

You walk over to the kitchen to check on Joseph, he's still stirring away but whatever he's cooking is starting to smell really good, so you assume it's very close to done. It does smell like some sort of tomato sauce.. your stomach growls in anticipation. You start to look for ways to help, you feel bad for not helping him, he's injured and he took the time to make an amazing meal for you both and you're just wandering around like a weirdo. You know he's going to try to stop you, but you have to at least try. You start to bring the MANY dirty dishes Joseph's accumulated to the sink but he quickly grabs one of the dishes that you're very precariously holding and won't let go. "What are you doing? I'm cooking, not you. I'll do the dishes, don't worry about it." He snatches the dishes from you and sets them carefully into the sink. "Shoo Shoo." Joseph says as he dismissively waves a hand at you, he turns off the stove unit he was using and puts the pot of delicious looking sauce onto the spruce cutting board to the left of the stove.

"Go sit at the dining table while I finish up." Joseph orders, you stand there, unmoving. Joseph looks up at you and squints his eyes at you. "It's a surprise, go.. shoo." Joseph waves his hand at you once more, you squint your eyes at him in response but reluctantly go and sit at your spot at the dinner table. After a few moments of just sitting there and piddling with your hands, Joseph yells out "Done!" You look up, Joseph sets a piping hot plate in front of you. "Do you want me to sit beside you or in front of you?" Joseph asks shyly. "Next to me." You answer with a smirk. You're trying to tease him and make him buckle, but he catches on immediately and gives you a look… one that screams "now get ready for the storm." You gulp. He sets his plate next to yours on the left and plops down. You take a long look at the beautiful food he's prepared, it's ratatouille with a tomato sauce spread across the top. He didn't give you a small amount either, thank god, you're famished.

"WAIT!" You shout, causing Joseph to jump out of his skin. "What? What's wrong? Is something wrong with the food?" Joseph asks frantically. "I FORGOT TO DOCTOR YOU." You announce loudly, Joseph looks at you absolutely dumbfounded. You stand straight up. "Do you have a first aid kit?" You ask. You look at Joseph and at such a close range you can see every little detail of his injuries, he has a pretty bad busted lip and his right eye looks like it's killing him, he looks like he can barely see out of it, not to mention it's bloodshot. You can't even imagine the damage Harry took. God, what are you going to do with these two idiots? Are you going to have to keep breaking up their arguments forever? "I have one in the bathroo-" Joseph gets cut off by you grabbing his chin to examine his face even closer.

"How the hell did you two fight and land punches in under a minute? I had just enough time to pull out a ceramic kitty cat and suddenly Harry came out of your apartment with a black eye and you were off the ground and somewhere else. There's no way either of you could have possibly moved that fast, it had been like.. forty seconds AT MOST. Not to mention Harry said he just wanted to talk, and he seems like the type of person who MEANS what he says. I know this is bit of a stretch but… I know you're not human. I don't care what you are, I don't need to know right now, tell me when you feel comfortable enough to, but I know you're not one. There's been too much evidence, the way you and Harry move is just… to precise and without flaw, you're both, no offense, bad at understanding anything to do with social boundaries or how to communicate or really anything human, and you both seem to have endless money. You both are extremely gentle around me, almost like you're scared to hurt me, and you both seem just a bit too smart. Not to mention you both stared at me flustered when I was thinking about you two not being human. I just wanted to tell you that I know and I don't care, I believe in ghosts and aliens and cryptids and shit and I'd care for you both even if you were both bigfoot. Now where is your bathroom?" You finish your rant and Joseph blinks at you in response. He sits very still for a few seconds before he finally snaps out of it and points towards the door closest to the front door.

"Thank you." You respond. You walk over and savor every moment of opening that damn door, once you're inside the bathroom you don't examine much, all you notice is the pretty grey and white shower curtain and the fact it seems VERY clean in there. You rummage under the bathroom counter and find a red plastic first aid kit along with a shit ton of cleaning supplies. "Well, at least he's cleanly.." You think to yourself as you shut the cabinet door. You leave the bathroom and shut the bathroom door behind you, unlike someone, and speed walk back over to Joseph, who is sitting there staring at you like a confused cat. You carefully look Joseph over and find a small cut on his right eyebrow and a brouse on his right arm. You lift his shirt to which earns you a very surprised and flustered reaction from Joseph, his face flushes bright red and he starts to breath very heavily.

He's ripped, he has a 6 pack and very pink pretty nipples. You find one very big brouse under Joseph's right arm, but otherwise find nothing. You think it's kind of weird that he only has injuries on the right side of his body, but decide not to mention it. You make him lean forward and you check his back, nothing. You sigh and push him back against his chair and pull his shirt back down. "I don't think I need this right now.." You say as you quietly set the first aid kit on the table next to your plate of steaming hot food. You rush over to the kitchen and grab a few paper towels and wet them under some warm sink water, after that you grab a couple of bags of frozen peas from Joseph's fridge then you run back over to the dining table and sit back down. Joseph looks a little teary eyed but you can't tell if it's from the pain from his injuries or not so you don't comment. You carefully start to dab at his lip, he winces and whimpers then clamps his eyes shut in response.

"Shhh… it's okay. It's okay.." You say quietly. You hear a soft sigh come from him and he untenses. His eyes remain shut but he seems more relaxed and at ease from your reassurance. A single tear runs down Joseph's left eye, you carefully wipe it with your thumb and continue to dub at his lip. You fold the paper towel each time too much blood gets on it. After you're done with his busted lip, you carefully lay the dirty paper towel to the side, neatly folded into a square, and grab a new one to start dubbing his eyebrow with it. Upon further inspection the blood from his eyebrow had actually dripped into his eye a bit, that's probably why it's so bloodshot and painful looking.

You appreciate the fact that he was so determined to cook you dinner that he neglected his own needs to do so but you also feel awful about it. Obviously, you wish he had taken care of himself first, you wouldn't have minded slightly burnt food.. or even mildly burnt food. You just want him to feel better. You very gently wipe his eyelid clean and he gasps slightly and tenses up once more, but quickly untenses and sighs after a moment. "Sorry.. it's okay.. It's not too terribly bad." You reassure him. You reach behind him and rub his back a bit, tears start to stream down his face. His face contorts and he starts to silently cry. "Oh Joseph.." You whisper, before pulling him into a big bear hug. He hesitantly hugs you back and sobs quietly into your shoulder. This is definitely not just from pain, you wonder what bothered him so badly.

"Shhh… it's okay… I'm here.. Was it stressful? Do you want to talk about what happened?" You ask. Joseph shakes his head slowly. "It's not that." Joseph replies, his voice is horse and quiet. You rub comforting circles into his back. "What is it then, honey?" You gently push for information, after a moment of contemplation Joseph responds. "I never had parents.. or really anyone who showed me any kind of affection.. in fact, I grew up alone.. I had people who supplied me food and the bare minimum of what I needed to survive, but otherwise, that's about it.. Actually, I think I'm what people refer to as "touched starved"." Joseph says, solemnly. He starts to break down even more and squeezes you close to him, but not enough to hurt you. You hug him tighter in response and in response to that he pushes out his chair a bit and picks you up, his hands are right under your ass. You squeak at the sudden touch and he sets you right in his lap, his hands return to their original positions, protectively wrapped around you.

You rest your chin on his left shoulder as he continues to sob into the crook of your neck. You rub his scalp through his neatly kept hair for a while, you quietly shush him and whisper sweet nothings into his ear. You reassure him that it's okay and that he's safe and that you won't leave him. After a while of consoling, he calms down slightly. You pull away and grab his chin, he looks up at you with tears still flooding from his eyes. You give him a gentle kiss on the nose and continue to dab his right eye. He closed his eyes when you kissed him and when he opened them they were full of nothing but love. He smiles as bright as the sun and sighs. He tries to calm his breathing, he takes deep breaths through his nose and out his mouth. "It's okay… take your time. I just didn't want you to hurt anymore.. I figured it would feel good for you to be clean and have some frozen peas on your eye.. So I'm trying to hurry and finish up here so you can have some relief." You say as you finish up cleaning his final wound. "Take your time.." Joseph playfully responds with a smirk.

You set the dirty paper towel on top of the other one and open the first aid kit, you grab two butterfly closures and place on on his eye's cut and the other on his busted lip. It seems to help a lot, you grab one of the bags of frozen peas and place it right on his right eye. He lets out a deep sigh of relief and he pushes his face into your touch. "Good boy.." You quietly praise him, he groans in response. You grab the other pack of peas and attempt to lift up his right arm, he gets the memo and lifts his arm for you to put the peas under there. He holds the peas with his arm on the giant brouse and sinks back into his chair. He reaches up with his other hand and places it over your hand that's holding the peas. "Joseph..?" You whisper. "Mmm?" Joseph hums, calmly. "Don't you wanna eat?" You ask quietly. "I don't want your food to get cold… you worked so hard on it.." You confess. "No.. I'd rather sit here like this for the rest of eternity, but I will."

Joseph sits up straight with a long dragged out groan and you get out of his lap and sit in your chair. His hand slips off your and you put the peas in his hand. You grab a spoonful of your food and start to say "ahhh" for Joseph to eat it but when you look over and see Joseph's disappointed little puppy face you can't help but laugh at him a bit. He furrows his brows at you. "I'm sorry, you're just so cute." You respond as you hide your smile with your free hand. "You are too." Joseph says, you gurgles a bit of water to get the blood out of his mouth before he takes a bite of the food. He hums in approval. You use the same spoon take take a bite for yourself, damn.. it's good. "You did an excellent job, chef." You praise him. "Thank you, madam. I had to make sure I gave you only the best food in the whole town." Joseph responds. You giggle at him as you both start to feed each other.

-Y/N = Your name- -L/N = Last name-

Music I listened to as I wrote: -"H.S / Tom Cardy"

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

This small town has proven to be full of surprises, from the shockingly beautiful view of the mountains from the valley below, to the 59 died to save 1 mine disaster, to the rumor about the mayor's supposed mentally ill son passing out flyers about an alien.. You hear a light flapping of paper coming from the left and glace in that direction only to find one of the very flyers everyone told you about. The partially torn image fluttered gracefully in the light spring breeze. You grab a corner of the sketch and memorize the detailed portrait. If there is an alien out there, which based on your UFO experience yesterday there probably is, you at least want to be prepared and know what to look for. You smirk silently to yourself and release the paper. It's a little funny to you, that the entire town has rumored this small boy to be clinically insane. Who are they to judge? Maybe there is an alien in the middle of all these woods, it certainly would be the perfect place for one. Just imagine the awesome underground base they could have under the town, or one deep in the mountains.. Hell, they might not even have to hide a base considering the whole town is surrounded by miles and miles of forestry. You wouldn't be surprised to see an extraterrestrial in a location like this. Honestly, you wouldn't doubt if bigfoot was somewhere in the surrounding dense greenery.

You continue your stroll down the sidewalk and gaze into each shop's window as you pass by, searching for anything that would catch your eye or that resembled a grocery outlet. Antiques, clothes, a bar… You finally stumble upon a small local grocery store. You open one of the heavy metal doors and start perusing, looking for your usual dietaries. Instead of going grocery shopping and stocking your fridge like a normal person who just moved in, you instead wandered around the outskirts of town all day then went home and passed out. You didn't even make it to your new bed, you just passed out on the couch. Not that it would make much of a difference anyway considering you haven't put sheets on the bed yet. You found a few unique shops spread out across the edges of town but didn't see anything in there that tickled your fancy. Which was a shame, considering you need some furniture for your place. You're surprised you didn't even find a lamp you liked. You visited the local lake and skipped some stones, then you explored the surrounding forest for a concerning amount of time and found some pretty fireweeds and lupines and put some in your pocket to dry out later. "Oh shit…" You think to yourself as you check your pockets, you feel mushy lifeless plants coiling around your fingertips. You sigh. "Damn it.." You mumble and curse yourself for not remembering to dry them out. "They were really pretty too.." You pout. You decide to keep recalling yesterday's events to drown out your sadness.

You found the 51 died to save 1 mine entrance and gazed into but got a very eerie vibe from it so you high tailed it out of that area. But then you found a few…. interesting things out there as well. You found small 3 toed footprints that abruptly end, seemingly leading to no where. Actually, you found 3 trails of those footprints all in different locations. One of the trail's footprints were smaller than the other two and it led to a rocky stone wall on a hill. It looked as if it went into the hill but you couldn't find a cave entrance. The other two just disappeared suddenly and you assume that they were made by the same entity. You searched the areas for clues but found none. You thought about taking some pictures with your phone to later print out but decided you wouldn't want to have those anyway. What if someone found the images and were government spies? You decided to let the creatures live peacefully, they've probably done no harm.

You grab a few of your favorite snacks and some new ones, it never hurts to try something new. You spot some cracker jack on the top shelf and reach to grab it but accidentally hit someone else's hand. You look up at the fellow you ran into, a tall blonde man with vibrant baby blue eyes. "He's pretty cute.." You think to yourself. "Oh, I'm sorry." You quickly apologize, you hope he isn't freaked out by your staring, if he even noticed. "Oh- no- It's okay. I was just.. reaching for some cracker jack." He quickly responds as he grabs a box and puts it in his hand held store basket. He seems just as spooked by the incident as you are. "What.. were you reaching for?" He queries, he seems to have trouble speaking english, you assume he's visiting from another state or something. "Oh! I was reaching for the cracker jack too!" You nervously giggle. He reaches up and grabs one for you. "Do you want more?" He asks, you try to identify his accent but can't seem to. Oddly enough though, you could listen to it for hours, you find it kind of interesting and relaxing. You slowly take the box from him. "Oh no, thank you.. Hey I have a question, if you don't mind." You begin.

He stares down at you and hums curiously. "Are you from this state? You seem to have an accent that I can't seem to pinpoint.. Do you mind me asking where you lived before if you are from somewhere else?" You ask hesitantly. "Ahh.." He looks off for a moment and a pit forms in the deepest reaches of your stomach, you didn't mean to offend if you did. He swiftly looks back at you and answers. His movements seem.. almost unhuman like. Like they're too quick and precise, it unsettles you slightly. "I'm from New York, but I watch a lot of international TV… So I may have a slight…erm.. accent. …Is it a bad accent?" He asks timidly. "Oh no no no.. I really like it, that's why I was trying to figure it out. Actually, you should be a narrate for tv shows and books, I'm sure a lot of people would love to hear your unique voice." You respond and flush slightly. You didn't mean for that to sound like flirting, but if it is taken that way you can't say you would complain. He flushes slightly across his cheeks and nose. "Thank you… You have a very nice voice too. Very.. soft.. and kind. Like a… baby sheep." He looks away as he speaks before he swiftly turns his head to look at you again, you jump slightly inside from the sudden movement. His movements are giving some serious uncanny valley vibes.

"Thank you.." You say quietly as you turn your head to look down at the ground. "I have never seen you here before, did you just move here? Or… are you visiting someone?" He asks. You look up at him and answer. "Oh! I just moved here from (state), I just needed to get away from everything… I live on Saint Higgins road, you know, the apartment complex!" "Ahh.." He sighs. "That's quite a nice place to live, the security is good.. but I would get some window locks.." He trails off as he quickly zooms off to the hardware isle. After a couple of seconds he comes back with a handful of window locks. "How many windows does you place have?" He asks as he pours his hands contents into your basket. "Uhm… oddly enough I know that.. about eight.. But get nine just in case there's an extra one that I've forgotten." You respond. He counts the amount in your basket then zooms back down the isle. "Actually, that's part of the reason why I wanted the apartment to begin with, lots of big windows, lots of tasty sunlight for my plants and me!" You yell out as he zooms off, after a few moments he comes back with two more window locks. "Actually, I will buy those for you.." He declares as he starts to take them out. He pauses and dumps them back in. "Actually, I'll buy the whole basket for you." He states calmly as he snatches the basket from you. "Oh no that's okay! You don't have to do that! I have a lot of groceries.." You try to reason with him but he persists, he continues down the isle with your basket and his own around each of his arms. You notice he's not struggling to hold them at all, you're surprised considering you have quite a few heavy things in yours.. Maybe he works out, you can't tell because of his grey long sleeved button up. "What else do you need?" He asks, he looks back at you with those big beautiful blue eyes, they pierce into your soul like thorns, you feel like he can see right through you. You almost feel naked looking at him. ...You have an unreasonable fear that he can read your mind, but that would be impossible… wouldn't it? You speed walk to catch up with him. "Well-" You get cut off by a voice from behind you.

"Hello there, Y/N. I see you've met the town doctor." You look back towards the familiar voice, it's Joseph. "Oh! Joseph! Hey, how are you?" You ask chirped. So, he's a doctor? That could explain his shyness.. you've found that doctors are usually a bit odd. At least, all of yours always has been. Bunch of goofballs is what they are. "I'm well, thank you. How are you?" He asks, as calm and smooth voiced as always. He walks over to meet you. You notice a small smile started to form on his lips as soon as you spoke, you have a feeling he really likes you. You start to get butterflies and your face flushes slightly. You're such a mushy romantic. "I'm good! Thank you for asking." You respond, you notice he's wearing red again, a very tasteful red button up... It seems the people in this town love button ups. He's still wearing black jeans and those black combat boots. He looks damn good in black. "Any time." He smiles widely at you before looking up at the mysterious blonde man who stole your basket. "Hello Harry." Joseph greets him, Harry scowls. "Hello…" Harry looks at you then back at Joseph before continuing. "Joseph." He practically spit venom as he said his name. "How are you, friend?" Joseph asks, seemingly trying to hide the obvious rift between them, or to anger Harry.. you're not quite sure which one yet. "I'm well, I would ask how you are.. but I don't care." Harry responds as he resumes looking down the isle, seemingly trying to ignore Joseph's entire existence. "Allllright then.. I see you're shopping with my dear Y/N." Joseph states as he wraps an arm around one of yours. You face flushes bright red and you start to panic internally. You're not freaked out by the fact he grabbed you, you're freaked out by the fact your hot neighbor that you are really into just called you his dear. "Getting window locks for her? Why, that's awfully thoughtful." Joseph continued. Harry looks back and glares at Joseph before setting both baskets on the ground and quickly walking over to you both. He tugs on your arm and pulls you as far away from Joseph as possible before he steps in front of you, acting as a human shield. "Do not touch her, you asshole." Harry hisses. "I was simply being friendly with my neighbor. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?" Joseph asks, confidently. "She just moved here, didn't she? Is it not a bit forward to grab onto a woman's arm whom you just met? I'd say it's even weird.. and creepy. Ha!" Harry looks back at you. "Do not let this man touch you, he's weird. And surely riddled with disease. You would not like him." Harry states, as he looks back at Joseph with a smug smile spreading across his features.

"Is it weird to do that? I'd say it's just friendly. If it isn't and it's crossing a line, I didn't mean to and I'm sorry." Joseph leaned over to the side to try to look past Harry at you as he spoke but gave up after a bit. He's genuinely concerned he did something wrong, it's honestly really cute. You come to the conclusion that he was probably trying to hide the rift between them earlier based on his shy and easily regretful nature. You peek past Harry, Joseph is frowning and his eyebrows are furrowed, he's trying desperately to try to see you to get a read on your reaction, he looks so worried. You give him a thumbs up and a small smile, your face is still very flushed. Joseph seems to take note of your face's hue as he gets a some what cocky smile after he sees you. He regains his confidence and looks back up at Harry. "Based on her bright red face, I'd say she liked it. Not to mention, I asked her out and she agreed. So ha to you." Joseph sets his basket on the ground and leans an arm against the shelf next to him in triumph. Harry sputters. Harry looks back at you, you look up at him and shrug. He squints at you then looks back over at Joseph. "But- Y- you- It does not matter. It is still forward. You… pervert." Harry finally proclaims. Harry crosses his arms, you peek past harry at Joseph again. Joseph glances at you and then back at Harry, keeping his cool as he speaks once more. "Y/N, would you like me to help you shop, since I'm already here shopping myself? I can show you some of the best deals this place has to offer, and since you already know me... it won't be as weird as.. Harry.. helping you." "She does not need your help, I am helping her. And it is not weird, I'd say we're already best friends." Harry quickly retorts before turning around and grabbing your hand, he speeds down the isle to the next one. You can't help but giggle at this silly feud, they're both so cute. Harry suddenly stops and grumbles, he lets you go and swiftly trots back down the other isle, you hear a distant "Move, pervert." and a "Stop calling me that." before you see Harry speeding back down the isle to you with both baskets in his arms. Joseph is quickly walking behind him to catch up with you. Harry moves so graciously, so.. unnaturally.. you're starting to suspect based on his accent and his odd movements and his precision that he really may not be human. Not that you would mind, you just find it interesting. And it would make sense considering how possessive he immediately became of you- something clicks in your mind. The UFO you saw over the apartment complex yesterday was hovering on Joseph's side of the complex, is it possible he's an alien? That would explain the rift between them if they are rivaling species, not to mention Joseph's some what awkward behavior and the fact he said he doesn't date often. If he is an alien, he probably doesn't understand social rules either, which is why he grabbed you. "Oh yeah… it's all coming together.." You think to yourself. What if Harry is an alien too? Or maybe he's some sort of cryptid? And based on his possessive behavior with you, he might already see you as his mate. Actually, that is the most likely case scenario in your mind if he isn't human. You blush so hard you feel your ears burning. You gaze at Joseph, his face is burning red hot as well. He stares at you, awestruck. "Oh shit… he can hear me." You think as you quickly glance at Harry who is also staring right at you with a mild red flush across his cheeks.

You try to think of something to say to change the unspoken subject and realize you never introduced yourself to Harry. You hold your hand out to him. "By the way, my name is Y/N, Y/N L/N. It's nice to meet you!" You say happily. You're surprised that you're so comfortable around these two, you're normally pretty skittish around new people, but it just feels so natural for you to be near them. It feels like you've known them for years.. maybe it's the fact they obviously aren't human further confirmed by their reaction to your thoughts, or maybe you've been abducted by aliens before and you do know them. Either way, it's pleasant to feel so calm around people for once. "Wow Harry, you don't even introduce yourself before taking over a ladies shopping trip? Seems kind of jerkish." Joseph interrogates. At this point you realize that they're both very bad at insulting each other, you can tell they're both probably really just kind people that just don't get along and they don't know how to really be rude to one another so they just awkwardly argue until one of them leaves. God, you hope neither of them leaves.. they make you feel so safe. "But I-" Harry stutters, you pipe up. "Actually, the situation just kind of naturally lead to that… surprisingly. See, we bumped into each others hands while reaching for the cracker jack and we just kind of started talking and I guess we both just forgot to introduce…" You notice a blatant scowl growing on Joseph's flushed face as he watches you intently. "Ourselves.." You finish. Obviously, neither of them like it when you take up for the other. "Yes! What Y/N said! It was natural! Now stop following us, pervert." Harry demands. "Stop calling me that!" Joseph snaps, he's starting to sound genuinely annoyed now. You're surprised, he seems so even tempered. They must really hate each other. You start to look down the isle, trying to ride out this dumb argument.

"Since we live in the same apartment we might as well shop together.. Plus I don't want you near her alone." Joseph squabbles. "What? What kind of logic are you following, Joseph? Just because you are… uh.. neighbors, doesn't mean you have to.. SHOP together. Asta and Darcy are roommates and they do not shop together- you are insane. See? I told you he's insane." Harry bickered. "Actually, you said he was riddled with disease." You corrected, Harry looks back at you with a mildly annoyed expression before speaking once more. "Well, he is, but he is also a mentally diseased dickhead." "Such a foul mouth for a doctor.. shows how professional you are." Joseph quickly retorted. Before either of them could open their mouths you blurted out a response. "Okay! That's enough!" You turn to face them, they're staring at you with a wide eyed expression. They are very still, awaiting your response in shock and awe. "Alright, you both can shop with me, but ONLY if you both play nice. If one of you insults the other, you both go. Got it?" You query. They both look at each other and scowl, but eventually look back at you and nod hesitantly. "Good." You say chipperly as you resume grabbing things for your apartment and throwing them into your basket which is still wrapped around Harry's arm. It grows unusually silent for several minutes as all three of you shop until finally Joseph speaks up once more. "So… have you found a job yet? Or did you move here with a job already promised? Because if not, I can get you a job. I'm one of the sheriff's deputies and I know quite a few people here. I-" Joseph gets cut off by Harry. "What!? You just moved here from god knows where! What did you do to them? Brain wash them into liking you with your "looks" and that deceptive manipulation you call "charm"? All the women in this town may fall for it, but I know what you do! I'm immune! And I refuse to let you do it to Y/N." Harry interrogates. "No. I didn't, Harry. What can I say, I'm just a likeable person. It's not like I had much competition, considering how you handle your patient's mental health.. such as the mayors son. Poor boy, instead of comforting him you just worsened his fear of you being an alien by acting so strange. I don't blame him for thinking that, it's probably true. Not to mention how you grab women in grocery stores. And I'm not manipulating anyone, especially Y/N." Joseph looks at you with a very soft expression before looking back up at Harry and continuing. "I just happen to like her.. ALOT.. and saw YOU near her and decided to come over and help. Is that so bad? Wouldn't you come help a poor soul being harassed by the towns only insane resident if you were me?" Joseph finished. "EH! I said no bickering." You blurt out before Harry could even respond. They both grumble in disapproval and it stays silent for a few more moments before Harry pipes up again. "But.. do you have a career lined up, Y/N? ..I know that apartment is expensive, Darcy tried to get in once but couldn't afford it.. You could live with me if need be. Of course, you would have to have your own area and stay out of my space.. but I can't say I would… hate… your company." Harry offers. "Absolutely not, she can stay with me. It would be more practical, I'm right across the hall and it would be easy for her to move her things into my beautifully decorated abode. Not to mention I highly doubt she wants to live in a shack in the middle of no where with the weird reclusive doctor. You kind of give off serial killer energy, dude." Joseph argues. "Do not call me dude… dickhead." Harry spouts. "EHH! No. Strike two. One more and you're both out." You interrupt. They both look at each other then at you before resuming to once again look at items and occasionally offer one to you to see if you'll want it.

After a bit you decide to answer Harry's question since they both seem to be behaving well. "No.. I don't have a job yet.. This move was a spontaneous thing... I don't regret it, but I kind of regret not looking for a job as soon as I got here. I actually just ended up walking all over the outskirts of town and finding some.. interesting things like the famous old mine and some three toed footprints.." You sigh before you resume your rant. "I also found some pretty flowers but once I got home from the diner.. I had a burger by the way, their burgers are really good I highly recommend them… I forgot to take them out of my pocket and hang them upside down to dry.. and…" You pull out the sad mushy plants from your pocket. They both examine the specimens before you put them back in your pocket. You continue to peruse the isle as you rant. "They wilted before I could dry them out. So today I decided to at least get groceries and try to look for a job after I get home and unload all of my food and stuff. I was able to pay for the first month of rent and the down payment on the apartment but I'm pretty much broke after that.. I have about.." You look to the side as you try to recall. "I have about 500 dollars left in savings, and I have to use that for things like toothpaste because I'm almost out and other things I don't have yet… Point is I do really need a job and if one of you has an in some where I'm absolutely willing to bake you a cake or pie or something as payment for getting me a job or at least an interview. Actually, if you both have a part time job that's needed I can take both of them so you don't have to quarrel over me anymore. I genuinely wouldn't mind the experience of two jobs anyway." You finish. "Well.." Joseph starts. "The office could really use a secretary.. mostly because ours is awful and does a horrible job at organizing files.. And is honestly quite rude to the people that call in. Which is most definitely not good considering that people only call when something awful happened and they're usually panicked and scared..." Harry pipes in. "And the doctor's office could use a secretary as well, Ellen is the only thing we have that's… some what close to a secretary.. And all she does is steal my food and hit on the hot guys that come in.. what a nuisance." Harry offers, you snicker at his statement. "It is not funny, it is very annoying." Harry comments. "Well.. let the girl have some fun, it's a small town, I'm sure she's bored." You reply. "Ugh.. she's a delinquent.." Harry mumbles. "Well.. do you accept…. our.. offers?" Joseph asks timidly, there was a tinge of hate when he said "our". "Well yes, but there's no guarantee that I'll get either of those jobs, though. So don't give your hopes up. I'm sure a small town like this would prefer someone they know rather than and outsider like me." You reply. "Oh, I assure you, we need a secretary. You'll be hired by the end of the day. I promise you." Joseph insists, he sounds extremely sure. "Yes, and I will go and get you the job right now." Harry quickly hands you your basket and reaches into his jeans pocket and pulls out several hundred dollar bills and throws them at you before he scurries to the check out. You and Joseph look at each other in utter disbelief. You both look back towards the front and see Harry scurrying out the door with his bags of food in hands. Joseph chuckles to himself. "Well.. ain't that something." He states.

-Y/N = Your name- -L/N = Last name-

Music I listened to as I wrote: -"H.S / Tom Cardy"

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

As you unload all your luggage from the back of your old used white R32 Nissan Skyline, which has some how managed to stay together over the years, you get a strange nagging feeling that you should look up… so after a few moments of debating whether or not you should, you do. You look up into the beautiful clear baby blue sky, but see nothing. You turn around towards the building you're about to move into and lo and behold, there's a UFO hovering maybe 50 feet above the complex. "Oh shit…" You mumble to yourself as you watch it in awe.

It's exactly what people describe, a saucer like shape, not too terribly big but enough to hold about 10 or so people, and silver in color. It hovers so close to the roof, almost purposefully so, almost like it's taunting you. And then, after a few minutes, it quickly flies away without a moments notice with no sound or wind or anything. You blink a few times before you snap out of your trance and hesitantly continue to empty the heavy contents of your trunk onto the pavement. "Maybe moving into the middle of no where is going to be more exciting than I had previously anticipated." You thought to yourself as you struggle to unload four extremely heavy suitcases, which you decide to haul up into your apartment all at once.. as one does. "At least two of them have wheels.." You think as you begin to tote all this shit inside.

Slowly, you manage to inch your way into the building, up the stairs, and to your apartment. Once you make it to your new front door, you drop all of your baggage with a loud thud and fumble in your jacket pocket for the keys. You hear a door open and quietly close behind you, but you think nothing of it. "My.. that's quite the haul you have there." A male voice rings out behind you, you look back at him, then at the suitcases, then back up at him. "Oh yeah." You giggle quietly to yourself. "I thought it would be better to get it all done at once instead of making multiple trips… But oh ho ho boy, how wrong I was.." You respond. You're honestly a little proud of yourself for carrying them all, that was something you'll never forget. "Too bad I wasn't outside, I would have helped you carry them." He says, his voice is so soothing to you for some reason.

You continue to fiddle in your pocket and finally find your keys. You quickly unlock your apartment door and swing it all the way open with a sigh. You start to kick all of your shit into the large open room. "Well, thank you for your kindness either way. Even if you didn't help, I still appreciate the fact that you would've. Not a lot of people would." You say, in between kicks. "Do you need anymore help?" He asks, some what eagerly. "I don't think so, thank you though!" You respond, chipperly. Once you're done pushing your stuff inside, you turn to take a good look at the fellow you've been talking to. He's a tall man, roughly 6'1, with jet black hair and a chiseled jawline, certainly not a bad looking man. He's wearing a red flannel shirt and black jeans with black combat looking boots, he can certainly pull off the lumberjack look. "I'm Joseph, by the way. Joseph Rainier." He says as he holds his hand out for a shake. You walk over and shake his hand, he has a very firm grip and his hand is so soft.. Almost like a butterfly's wing. "Y/N, Y/N L/N. It's a pleasure to meet you, Joseph." You respond. You both linger in the handshake for a moment before letting go. Joseph, seemingly lingered a bit longer than you and seemed mildly upset about letting go. His hand was very comforting to you, like all the anxiety melted from your very being when ever you touched him. You look up to catch a better glimpse of his face, he has beautiful hazel brown eyes and a completely clear complexion except for a few freckles scattered here and there. His skin seems almost unusually smooth and soft looking.

"Would you like to get dinner sometime?" He abruptly blurts out. You look at him, bewildered and taken aback by his forward approach. He flushes and quickly looks away. "I'm sorry, I don't usually do this and I'm… pretty bad at it." He says defeatedly. He practically mumbled the last bit. "Oh! It's okay! Yeah sure, I would love to have dinner with you!" You quickly respond, trying to soothe his obvious embarrassment. "You will?" He responds, almost surprised. "Yes!" You say, a bit too eagerly. "Oh good.. Here I'll give you my number so we can check our schedules and pick a day." He says and holds out his hand to take your phone. You have a feeling he just wants your number, you smirk a little as you reach into your other jacket pocket and pull out your phone. You unlock it and give it to him, half expecting him to nose a bit. He puts his number into your phone and hands it back rather quickly. If he did nose, he was quick. But you have a feeling he's good at that. "Thank you!" You say as you put your phone back into your pocket. "Anytime. See you Later, Y/N." He smiles mischievously as he walks over to the stairs and descends. "Adios!" You yell back. You walk back to your apartment and chuckle to yourself as you enter and shut the door. "Would you look at that! I already made a friend." You think to yourself. A smile stretches across your face. You gaze around your barely furnished apartment and then at your suitcases. "Maybe I'll go for a little walk…" You mumble.

-Y/N = Your name- -L/N = Last name-

Music I listened to as I wrote: - "Haunted Swamp Banjo ~mysteriously calming ambience~"

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

You watch as Joseph carefully cleans up all the dishes from the delicious risotto he made, creamy remnants slowly get pushed off into the sink by the stream of water from the faucet. "Ding!" You quickly snap back into reality by the cute little apple timer sat on the table next to you. You push out your chair and rush over to the oven where your two pies are baking. "Need any help, honey?" Joseph asks as he looks over at you with a small smile on his face. "No baby, I got it.. Thank you though." Your respond with a smile. "Mhm.." Joseph hums at you before he focuses his attention back on the task at hand, the many dishes. You grab 2 chicken pot holders from a drawer by the oven and slip them on before you turn off the oven and open it up. You squint your eyes at the heat before you carefully pull out the oven rack and grab the two pies, you quickly set them on the island behind you then push the rack back into it's original spot and close the oven.

You sigh as you take off the chicken pot holders which you absolutely adore, you examine them for a moment before you put them back into the drawer where you found them. You survey your pies carefully and come to the conclusion that they came out perfect with a beautiful golden crust. You feel pride fill your heart. "Good job, babe." Joseph praises as he gives you two pats on the back, you smile back at him. He slips past you to a drawer next to the fridge and grabs a drying towel, he bumps the drawer with the back of his hand and it quickly closes. He slips back by you and sneaks a kiss on your cheek as he does so, you smirk at him and watch as he starts to dry the dishes and whistle a tune. You sneak behind him and plant a kiss on his jawline, his eyes widen and he looks down at you with a slight smirk. "Careful…" Joseph warns teasingly, you snicker at him. "Whatever, hot stuff." You respond sassily as you strut back over to the pies and admire your hard work, you hear Joseph putting up the dishes in the background. After a bit, Joseph walks over and sets two plates down on the kitchen island and starts to cut a pie slice out of his cherry pie. "Okay, so now all I have to do is deliver Harry's pie to him tomorrow.. Ohhh.. I hope it's as good tomorrow as it is when it's fresh.." You pout.

"No you're not." Joseph responds blatantly, you look over at him in confusion. "What?-" You watch as Joseph picks up Harry's pie with one hand and reaches into his jeans pocket and pulls something out, he clicks it and a light blue swirling portal appears next to him, he walks through it. "What are you doing here?" You hear Harry ask annoyedly. "Oh, is that from Y/N? Thank you Y/N! It looks very lovely!" Harry yells out at you through the portal, you watch Joseph walk back through the portal and happen to finally catch sight of the device he's using, he clicks a small some what egg shaped white remote which closes the portal. He sighs deeply before he puts it back into his pocket and continues cutting the pie, he places it on a plate then begins cutting another slice out. "Thank you Joseph.. that was very thoughtful." You say softly. "I was mostly doing it as a means to keep him away from you, but you're welcome." Joseph admits without a single ounce of shame. You sigh in slight frustration before you take the plate Joseph slides over to you. "Wanna eat in the living room and watch tv?" Joseph asks excitedly, you nod and bounce about happily. "Mhm, that sounds like fun!" You reply before you quickly speed walk into the living room and plop down on the couch, almost dropping your pie in the process. "I saw that!" Joseph yells at you. "No you didn't!" You yell back. You snuggle into the couch, you missed the way it hugs every part of you. God, you want this couch so badly, it's like a dream. Joseph sits next to you and you raise up a bit from it. "It is yours, everything that is mine is yours.." Joseph says softly, you can't help but smile. "Thank you baby.. I feel the same way." You respond coyly, Joseph giggles at how easily you get flustered. You take a bite of your cherry pie.. it's absolutely delicious. "Mmm.." You hum in delight. You look over at Joseph who has already eaten half of his slice some how. Upon further inspection you realize he took one giant bite that took most of the slice out, you watch him struggle to chew the absolutely mountain of food in his cheeks. "Joseph! Be careful!" You bicker at him, Joseph chuckles. "Stop! You're going to make me choke!" Joseph says with his mouth full. He swallows then turns and smiles widely at you. "It's absolutely perfect, thank you darling.. I'll be sure to make it up to you." Joseph praises. "But I was making it up to you for landing me a job at the station." You calmly retort. In response, Joseph pulls you close to his face by your chin and passionately kisses you then pulls away. You examine his face, he has a big old smirk is on his face and he has that wild look in his eyes again. "Oh.. I wouldn't mind that one bit.. but finish your pie first." You demand, Joseph starts to cut another giant bit of pie off. "A NORMAL SIZED BITE JOSEPH, YOU CAN'T THANK ME IF YOU'RE DEAD!" You quickly squawk at him, Joseph giggles at you. "Alright babe, sorry." He says as he cuts his piece in half then eats it.

Later on after you and Joseph had a nice hang out sesh and a "wonderful time in bed" you finally fall asleep right against your 6 foot hunk of a man. Then a bit later you wake up.. in a completely different location. Your eyes are still blurry from drowsiness but you can make out a few details about the situation you're currently in. You look to the right of you and see a small grey alien taking a bit of blood from an IV in your wrist, it flows through a clear tube into a medium sized metal cylinder in their hand, they seem to be keeping your wrist in the correct position with telekinesis. They take a small needle and prick your finger with it, they carefully place the blood that comes out into a much smaller cylinder tube then applies some kind of clear liquid onto the wound with a dropper, you feel it do… something.. you assume that it's closing the wound within seconds or something weird like that. You look to the right of the grey and see Joseph bickering intensively with the alien who is seemingly speaking back to him through his mind… you're surprised you didn't notice him speaking before. "Don't give me that! Why on earth would he need this sort of information!?" Joseph aggressively interrogates. The grey glances up at you, they notice you're awake and carefully observe your expression, seemingly to gauge whether or not you're in any pain or frightened... they seem pleased with your expression.. maybe, it's hard to tell their face seems so emotionless. Unlike the descriptions, their eyes are mostly black but they have a viable blacker pupil within them which seem to move just like humans do. The grey smiles slightly at you, you smile back before they continue to remove your IV. "Oh ho ho, aren't you so smart! Very clever! I'm serious, to bother us in our sleep, especially considering I'm one of you? It's suspicious, is it not?" Joseph pushes. The grey looks over at Joseph and squints their eyes at him, you blink a few times before you start to tune out their argument and look up at the ceiling. You realize your head is the only thing you can move, everything else feels… numb.

You examine the room, you seem to be in the center on a metal table of some kind. The walls are silver and made of metal and there's a few lights in the center of the ceiling in a circular shape, they give off a slightly blue hue but it's pretty unnoticeable unless you stare directly at them like a dingus. The room itself is bare other than a few metal shelves with various items on them. You believe you can make out a scalpel and other alien like but otherwise normal medical supplies on the shelf to the left of you, you also see a shelf covered in what you presume to be empty cylinders, some medium and others small, they're all lined neatly against the wall, the medium cylinders first then the small cylinders in front. You can see where the grey took a medium cylinder and small cylinder from the bunch towards the end. You always expected an alien spaceship to be a bit more.. decorated than this. But this is still cool to you though.

You sigh and look back up at the ceiling then back over at Joseph and the grey. Joseph and the grey are now standing a few feet away from the table you're on, bickering at each other.. you think. Well, at least Joseph still is. The grey has their arms crossed and is glaring up at Joseph and is most definitely unamused by his antics. After a moment of silence Joseph sputters a bit. "B- wh- That's none of your business. We may do what we please to in our apartment without your acknowledgment." Joseph retorts angerly. A few more moments pass and Joseph's posture slumps slightly. "well… I guess that's is a fair point... Fine, yes we did engage in intercourse, but I'm telling you strictly for medical reasons… though I don't know why any of you need this medical info to begin with." Joseph responds calmly, one more moment passes before he answers again. "Yes yes, I know. "You don't know why, it was just ordered". " He huffs. The grey slowly uncurls their arms and lets the one on left fall to their side and lifts the other one to point at you. Joseph glaces over at you. "Oh you're up!" He says happily, he quickly rushes to your side to explain the situation, he grabs your hand and kisses it then holds it before he continues. You watch the grey calmly pick up the two cylinders from a shelf and exit the room. "Okay so, the grey leader ordered for your medical information be taken and added into the system with the other grey's information for god knows why, but don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of it. Since greys cannot lie, I do know they are genuinely just researching and keeping some of your DNA in case of emergency, but otherwise not even the other grey knew why it was ordered… Are you okay, sweetheart?" Joseph says in a very panicked and worried manner, you nod and sigh. "Oh yeah, we can disable movement for humans for a while… don't worry, you'll be moving again soon." Joseph quickly answers before you can even think to ask. You glare up at him. "Yes, yes, I know, I should have told you. I'm sorry, I forgot." Joseph admits before he plants a kiss on your forehead. "Hey Joseph?" You ask hesitantly, he hums. "What was that clear liquid they put on my finger?" You ask. "Oh wow- you were up for that long? Well.. that was just something to make the wound heal, he put it on your IV wound too. Don't worry, it's compatible with humans. Obviously, I'm part human and they use it on me. In fact, I think it works on everyone..? I'm not entirely sure, so don't quote me on that." Joseph answers calmly. "Oh…. cool!" You say enthusiastically with a smile. "He said "he".. so they do seem to have gender.." You think to yourself.

"You seem very calm for someone who just got abducted in their sleep. God, I'm so sorry this is happening to you, I planned on keeping my alien life as far away from you as possible.." Joseph frowns deeply as he speaks, he seems deeply regretful. "Oh don't worry about it, he seemed very nice and was very careful, I feel perfectly fine." You respond happily. "They're all pretty careful when it comes to anything really.." Joseph admits as he rubs the back of his neck and looks away for a moment, he looks back at you and smiles slightly then he drops his arm back to his side. Suddenly, Joseph looks over at the entrance to the room, alerted by something. You glace up and see who you assume is the same grey standing just inside the doorway, unmoving. "What.. are you sure you heard him right?" Joseph asks in utter disbelief. The grey nods slowly, his movements creep you out slightly, yet at the same time bring you great peace. "Yeah, I know the way.." Joseph says distraughtly. And with that, the grey leaves and heads to the left then out of sight down what you assume is a hallway. Joseph sighs deeply before he turns to you. "The leader of the greys wants to speak with you and of course he STILL has no information as to why. If you don't want to we can head out right now and hide some where where they could never find us and-" You cut him off for once. "No, it's okay.. I want to meet him." You respond, you try to get up and do manage to very clumsily sit up straight. Joseph holds his hand on your back to ensure you don't fall back and hit your head on the metal table. "..Are you sure Y/N? Because we can leave.." Joseph offers once more, seemingly pushing that option. You pause.. How did you know the leader of the greys was a he? You just said it with absolute certainty, like you felt it in your gut, you knew who that was, you can almost see him… Maybe it's a side effect of Joseph and your mind merging. "Y/N?" Joseph asks tenderly.

You blink a few times. "OH! Sorry, I was just thinking for a moment, yes I want to go. Also, are you not merged with me at the moment? You don't seem to be commenting on my mind as much as you usually do if you are." You ask abruptly. "Oh, no I'm not, when they knocked you out it would have knocked me out as well so I detached myself before that happened so I could keep an eye on everything. OH! I should probably mentioned, I woke as soon as the ship's beam hit us and started to cuss them out the whole way up which they.. did not appreciate." You giggle at him, classic Joseph behavior. "They made it so you would sleep pretty soundly as they escorted you through out the ship as to not traumatize you as much… Which.. now that I'm thinking about it, was weirdly thoughtful and out of character..? Well, anyway, they carefully carried you in here and you woke up pretty much right on cue, they took a skin sample from your finger, they took a bit of your blood in case you need it, and they took a blood sample to test and that's about it." Joseph finishes, you nod understandingly. "Alright, that doesn't seem so bad.." You reply quietly, you feel Joseph merge back into your mind. "Hi." His voice echos through out in your head. You giggle at him. "Hi." You think back. Joseph frowns very deeply. "I… have not met the leader of the greys personally. That isn't from me... I don't know what he looks like, I don't even know his name." Joseph admits, concern dances within his voice. You shrug at him, he shrugs back condescendingly. "Really? That's your response to that?" Joseph bickers at you. "Well, I don't feel like he's a threat or means any harm. Oh! We should get going." You reply as you start to try to get up. "I know, just.." Joseph begins as he helps you up and wraps and arm around one of yours to keep you up in case you fall over. "You should be more panicked about it even if you don't feel like it's a bad thing. That's extremely suspicious and just adds even more suspicions onto this already suspicious evening." Joseph replies as he starts to walk you towards the door. "Night." You correct. "Night, yes thank you." Joseph quickly responds. You and Joseph look both ways out of the entrance way before you actually start to exit, It's just a very long blank metal hallway with some lights.. But it does seem abnormally long in both directions, but that's probably because it's most likely a giant ship. Joseph tugs you to the right and you both start walking in that direction. "Are you sure you don't wanna bail? I'm telling you, we could easily get out of here, even if someone did try to stop us greys are very light weight and fragile, you could just push them over like a toddler. All they have to their advantage is their mental abilities and I have them too." Joseph explains frantically.

"I'm good Joseph, but thank you for asking. Aren't you a little curious as to what he has to say?" You ask as you look up at Joseph, he looks down at you and blinks a few times. "Well.. I mean yeah but.. Ugh, whatever. I can't argue with you, every time I try to argue with you, you have a better retort to anything I could try to say." Joseph complains, he looks forward and keeps a very close eye on everything around you both. You giggle at him. "Okay, "whatever"." You tease, Joseph smiles slightly at your comment. A long moment of silence falls between you two as you continue to walk through out the ship, you pass a few greys who look you up and down then look at Joseph curiously, seemingly asking him a question to which you think.. he answered..? You pass a few more on the way but all they do is stare curiously at you. You try to look for any open entrances to nose into for any clues but most are closed and the few that you do see that are open look the exact same inside as the one you were in. "By the way.." Joseph suddenly begins. "I would have warped us there using one of the portals, but I figured you'd prefer the scenic route.. sadly." Joseph admits disappointedly, you think he just wants an excuse to whip out his portal remote again. "You'd be right, I want to nose some more." You reply, Joseph shakes his head at you. "Nosy." Joseph replies teasingly but still mostly truthfully. "I am not!" You retort grumpily. "Mhm.. whatever, snooper." Joseph teases again. You fake gasp and huff. You both approach a very large entrance and you get the feeling this is where the leader is, you're surprised it didn't take very long to get here… unless Joseph happened to know a few short cuts, but you doubt it. Joseph stops right before you reach the entrance, he grabs your shoulder and looks deep into your eyes. "Y/N, are you sure? No matter what you choose, I will always have your back and will not let them touch a single hair on your head, all you need to do is choose. So… are you sure?" Joseph asks very seriously, you nod without hesitation. "Yes Joseph," You grab his hand and squeeze it. "I'm sure." You respond softly, Joseph nods before he lets go of your shoulder and holds your hand. "Are you ready?" Joseph asks politely, you nod once more. "Yes I am." You respond confidently. You and Joseph walk into the massive open room and look around, you see many of what looks to be control panels with many glowing blue buttons and giant light blue hologram screens showing many different mathematical things and symbols just like what was on Joseph's dining table and his other furniture. You assume this is where the ship is controlled. You look up and see the room is extremely tall, but the ceiling is the exact same as the other room you were in, bare except a few lights in a circular pattern. You look forward and see a grey standing calmly with his hands neatly tucked behind his back looking out of the giant window that practically takes up the whole front wall, you see beautiful stars glimmering out in the distance in the blacky abyss. "HOLY SHIT WE'RE IN SPACE RIGHT NOW!?" You think loudly to Joseph. You hear Joseph chuckle in your mind and physically. "Yes dear, we are. The greys are to sensitive to be in Earth's atmosphere for too long so they often stay in space, remember?" Joseph responds in your head.

The grey turns to face you you both as you finally almost reach him, you both stop about eight feet away. You… recognize him from some where. You examine him closely for clues, he has a few very specific physical differences from all the other greys you've seen. For one, he has a giant scar on his left cheek as if he was slashed at some point and two, he is slightly taller than the other greys. He blinks slowly as he examines you both, he carefully looks Joseph up and down.. most likely surveying him for weapons, then he looks over at you and examines you. You almost feel naked as he does so, as if he can see through your very soul. His movements are even more precise than Joseph's, they're so graceful, so calming to watch, almost like water. "Hello." You hear a deep male voice within your mind, you flush bright red. "Oh, I didn't know we were goin' this route, hello!" You quickly say in a panic, you hear a deep guttural chuckle from him physically and in your mind. "Yes, hello little one.. and hello Joseph, I see you are doing well." He responds once more, Joseph also panics along side you. "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." Joseph responds politely, keeping his composure, unlike you. "The pleasure is all mine.. Now tell me, who is this little lamb you've captured the heart of?" He asks, he seems so patient and calm, you can't imagine how amazing it must be for them to just exist without any worry or doubt. "This is Y/N, Y/N L/N." Joseph introduces you, you have the unnerving feeling that Joseph is on very high alert and ready to kill anything that may push him over the edge. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Y/N." The grey slowly holds his hand out to shake your hand, you hesitantly walk over and grab his hand… his hand is so.. cold. He carefully holds your hand as if a single false movement would break you and shakes it. His grip is firm yet not too firm, it's a very nice handshake. You look at him, he's already looking at you, examining every little detail of your face just like you are him. You can't help but smile at him slightly, he feels very familiar, like you just seen him recently. You both just get lost in time for a bit, carefully examining each others features before finally you both simultaneously let go. Joseph walks over to your side and carefully wraps and arm around your shoulders. "I wanted to briefly introduce myself and give you this." The grey holds out his hand and a small item materializes, you feel both your own shock and Joseph's.. it seems he had no idea he could do that. You carefully pick up the item and examine it thoroughly, it's a small metal cylinder shape with a button on the side, one end of it has a small hole and the other doesn't. Once you're done examining it and Joseph is done examining it from a distance you look up at the grey who was seemingly waiting for you two to finish before he explained himself. "I know life of earth can be quite… brutal. Especially for young women, so I decided to give you something to defend yourself in emergency situations… just in case." He explains calmly, his deep voice rumbles within your head.

"Why? Why are you doing all of this? You never do anything thoughtful for anyone, what's your end goal?" Joseph snaps at him, the grey very suddenly moves quickly to look towards Joseph, causing you to jump. "..I apologize, I was trying to move slowly as to not disturb you." The grey softly apologizes. Well, that explains the slow movements, that's one thing down. "I am only trying to be useful to you and your partner, Joseph. That is all." The grey responds seemingly truthfully. "And why on earth would you do that? You are avoiding the question just like the rest of them do." Joseph interrogates, you hear a deep exhale escape the greys nose before he rubs in between his nonexistent brows, he turns around and walks towards the window. He slowly raises his left hand and move his finger, inviting you to come over with him before he drops his arm slowly back by his side. You look at Joseph who shakes his head at you, you mouth "I'll be okay." and pat his arm, after a moment he nods and removes his arm from your shoulders, allowing you to go. You walk over to the grey, standing next to him. You both stand in silence for a while before he starts to speak to you.. using his actual mouth. "I'm interested in what you have to offer." He admits you look over at him, he continues to stare out into space. "I'm interested in you, as a person… I find you fascinating." He begins carefully. "I do not need to tell you what exactly interests me, however I will tell you that I mean no harm and no harm shall befall you or Joseph by our hands or our involvement in any matters. And we will try to protect you both." He finishes, you carefully try to read his expression but it remains the same, emotionless and calm. A moment passes before he speaks again. "Do you trust me?" He asks softly, showing a slight bit of emotion… vulnerability. His voice was softer than his average speaking voice and a hint of pain leaked through as he spoke. He slowly looks over at you, his face was still emotionless but you swear you can see something within his eyes, you just can't make out exactly what it is. You think for a moment before you nod, a slight smile across his lips.

"Then test your device." He says in his normal tone, but a bit of left over pain still leaked through. A piece of paper materializes out of thin air, he grabs your arms and adjusts them so they are holding the device towards the paper. "Just press the button and discover what I've given you." He says while he holds your arms in place, clearly not trusting you with it yet. You carefully press the button, it was much harder to press than you expected. A beam of light blue light exits the end with the hole like a laser and the paper disintegrates in thin air, falling into a pile of ash on the floor. "Oh wow! I had that pointed at my eyes earlier!" You say in slight panic, the grey lets go of your arms and you quickly walk over and hand the laser to Joseph, who seems completely unphased. He carefully puts it in his pajama bottoms pocket. "Thank you.. What.. do I call you?" You ask, the grey stares at you for a few moments, unmoving, before answering. "Remora, my name is Remora." "What a beautiful name.. Thank you, Remora." You thank him softly, his features soften slightly. "You are welcome. Now go, it is late and you need your sleep for tomorrow." He says as he waves a dismissive hand at you both. You walk over to him, he watches you carefully as you approach. You give him a small kiss on the forehead then you pull away and smile at him. He blinks at you slowly, but is otherwise unchanged. You grab both of his shoulders, he doesn't protest. "It's been wonderful meeting you and thank you again." You say before you hug him then quickly let him go and walk back over to Joseph, who has been giving him a death glare since the meeting began. You tug on Joseph's arm. "Come on, ya big lug." You say teasingly, he looks down at you then back at Remora before finally turning and opening a portal. You both walk through it and enter his bedroom, with a click he closes the portal and sighs deeply.

"Well that was fucking weird!" Joseph exclaims loudly. "That explained nothing at all and I'll be making my own device to detect any radio signatures coming off the laser." Joseph declares determinedly, you stare at Joseph and Joseph stares back at you before he finally catches onto why you are staring. "I'll be checking for tracking devices and listening devices and really any other kind of device." He explains. "Ohhh.. okay." You respond with an understanding nod. You look at the clock, it reads "2:04 A.M.". "Well, let's got to sleep. He's right, y'know, it is getting pretty late." You say with a sigh as you plop onto Joseph's bed, it makes a slight spring noise. You look over at Joseph, he's staring at the laser, carefully examining it for any clues. "Babe." You say, Joseph looks over at you with a brow raised, you pat next to you on the bed. "Put the laser in my bag for safe keeping and come sit for a minute." You offer, Joseph begrudgingly puts it in your bag and plops down next to you with a huff. You massage his back with one hand. "See? It wasn't so bad, was it?" You ask reassuringly. "I suppose not, they were rather respectful which is quite peculiar and them collecting your DNA was pretty harmless.. especially considering there would be no point in cloning you since you're a human and practically useless to any plan they may have.." Joseph says blatantly. "Heyyy…" You say sadly. "Sorry, it's true though, humans are like the alien version of the average joe. No extreme physical strength, no mental abilities, no flying abilities, just existing and having fun." He admits calmly. "Alright, the "having fun" bit saved you.." You reply slightly teasingly, Joseph chuckles at you. "He seemed to be pretty nice, didn't he?" You ask happily. "Yes, I was watching and nosing in on your conversation from within your mind the whole time and I know for a fact he was very aware of it." Joseph admits, you sigh deeply. "Of course you were." You say disappointedly with a slight chuckle. "Based on his movements, expression, and your observations I can say without a doubt that he was being honest and seemed to not be hiding anything significant if anything at all. I think there was more to this than what he let on, but I don't think he means any harm to befall you or me which is a good sign. Greys are very bad at keeping things to themselves, they always look very.. guilty.. when they do. They avoid eye contact and move and smile.. way too much. He seemed completely normal meaning he must have been at least mostly sincere." Joseph admits with a sigh. "Good… then lets go to bed!" You exclaim happily as you flop onto the bed fully and crawl your way into it, Joseph chuckles at you and crawls into bed with you. "By the way.." You begin, Joseph hums as he wraps his arm and leg around you. "Do you always keep that clicker thing on you?" You ask. "Yes, you never know when you may need it, I would give you example but I don't want to give whoever may be listening to the possible microphone laser thingy any ideas." Joseph answers calmly, you sigh and snuggle into the blankets. "Alright, just wanted to make sure." You say sleepily, Joseph's body heat and presence quickly lulls you into a dazed trance. "I love you, I'm sorry this all happened." Joseph says guiltily. "I love you too baby and don't worry about it.. I quite enjoyed the whole scenario.. it was kind of fun, actually." You respond softly. "You're the only person who would ever think that." Joseph says with a giggle, you giggle back. "Goodnight.. Sleep tight, my love." Joseph responds quietly. "You too baby.." You respond as you start to drift off to sleep. Joseph doesn't sleep, he keeps thinking and pondering, trying to figure out the greys game plan if they have any, which he is most certain they do because they always do… right?

"Her result came back completely healthy to human standards." A grey tells Remora via telepathy. "Excellent.. Very excellent." Remora responds as emotionlessly as always. "If I may ask.." The grey begins, Remora hums in acknowledgment. "Why did you want her DNA tested? Do you have an alternate plan in case this one goes sour?" The grey asks blatantly, Remora sighs through his nose and pauses for a moment before he responds. "I've be carefully observing the two together, at first I was fascinated by the fact a human fell in love with a grey hybrid and how it could cause some mishaps in the future, but then I started to become interested in many of her unusual choices.. I was fascinated by the way she behaved and how they behaved together.. until I was enamored by the relationship in it's entirety and how intimate it had become. I believe because I watched them for so long I may have developed a care for her well being as if she was our own, even if it is ever so slightly present. So I decided to prepare in case the moment arises where harm may befall her." The other grey nods in acknowledgment before hesitantly leaving the room. Quite honestly, the grey was interested in the whole scenario and wanted to know some details himself, but he decided it would be best to just leave the leader to his emotions. Remora returns his attention to a hologram screen projecting you and Joseph in bed, you're already asleep but Joseph is still wide awake, he plants a kiss on your forehead before he snuggles into your hair and close his eyes in an attempt to sleep... which he finally does manage to do. Remora brushes his finger tips against his lips lightly before he tilts his head to the side, he longs to understand such complex emotions, he wishes to learn how they work, how the feel.. but that's not something he would ever tell another grey.. but he might tell you.. one day.

Welcome to Patience: Stubborn, stubborn (Chapter 7)

Joseph Rainier x F!Human Reader x Harry Vanderspeigle Rating: 16+

Fandom: Resident Alien

Story Type: Fluff / Thriller / Romance / Drama

1,197 Words

-Y/N = Your name- -L/N = Last name-

Music I listened to as I wrote: - "Club Penguin - Music - Pizza Parlor - 10 Hours"

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

After a brief stroll down the street you arrive at the police station, upon entering the doors you are immediately greeted by a loud guy named Mike who took it upon himself to take time out of his "busy schedule" to show you around the police station… you felt awful for his poor deputy, Liv. She seems so kind and exhausted by his antics, she sadly moped along behind him as he strutted through the station. Eventually, said "busy sheriff" did actually get a call as you fixed up your new space and quickly darted out the door without even a single goodbye, at least Liv gave a soft bye and a nod before she trotted out after him.

You blink a few times then you slowly sit down into your black swivel chair, you turn from side to side for a bit before you finally scoot into your desk. You listen to the quiet A/C run from the vent behind you and the clock tick faintly, you feel a sense of calm start to overtake you. The nice cool breeze finally reaching you from the vent and relaxes you even further. You frown slightly, you're disappointed that Joseph wasn't here to greet you when you arrived, but you're sure he'll pop in later. You hear the door swing open and gaze up from your desk to see who entered, Joseph! "Joseph!" You exclaim happily, you sit up straight and smile widely at him, he smiles back at you. "Hello dear." He greets. You watch him as he walks over to you, his hair is a mess, it seems he's been working on something for sure. Joseph examines your desk and you for a moment before he starts to walk deeper into the station. "I'll be right back.." He mumbles as he enters a room. After a few moments he comes out with his own black swivel chair with files sat neatly in the center, he rolls it all the way down to your desk. He takes the folders and plops them on your desk with a "Thud!" then he sits comfortably next to you. He gazes over at you and smiles widely as he sighs deeply. "Now we can work together!" He says enthusiastically. "Are you sure you're allowed to do this..?" You ask cautiously, it's cute that he did this, but you don't want him to get in trouble, or even worse, be fired. "Really? You're worried about that… here? It's absolutely fine, Y/N, like these goons are going to say anything about it." He reassure you confidently as he opens a folder and starts to review the file. You nod understandingly. "Okay.. I just wanted to make sure. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble over me." You say tenderly as you reach over and give him a giant kiss on the cheek, he turns to face you, grabs your chin and plants a giant kiss on your lips before letting you go and continuing to read the file. You giggle at him. "What a puppy man.." You think to yourself. "Watch it sister, you're pretty puppy like yourself." A male voice echos back in your mind, you giggle a bit harder. "Don't worry, love. I won't get in trouble because of you, he may not seem like it, but Mike is a sucker for a good love story." Joseph reassures. "Really?" You ask, surprised. Joseph nods, it takes a few moments for him to speak once more. "He loves mushy romantic comedies. Not to mention, he read Fifty Shades of Grey for the PLOT. No one reads that book for the plot." Joseph explains. "Huh... He didn't strike me as the type." You confess. Joseph chuckles at you. "You'd be surprised by the things people do in their spare time." Joseph comments. "I don't doubt it... but don't offer information to me, please... My drama side wants to know but don't tell me. It's wrong." You quickly blurt. "Mmmmkay." Joseph responds, not believing you'll last even an hour without asking questions and being nosy. If you snooped through his whole house, then he's absolutely sure you're going to snoop into people's mind through him too... Not that he minds, he just thinks it's cute, is all.

Four hours pass and they went by like five minutes to you two. You both just kept harassing each other and horsing around the whole time, this is one of the best jobs you've ever had. But.. before you know it it's time to call it a quits and go home. Joseph pulls out your chair and starts to pick up both your bag and his. "I can carry that." You swiftly offer, he shakes his head in response. "I'm stronger, it's fine, don't worry about it!" He says happily. You nod and continue to tidy up a few things before you finally stand, you stretch out big and wide before you start to walk towards the door with Joseph. He opens it for you and you slide right out with him following suit. Your walk was mostly silent before suddenly, Joseph reaches into your back pocket. "Joseph?-" You squeak out, but are quickly cut off but Joseph holding the money you gave to Harry in front of your face. You scowl and snatch the money from his hand. Joseph chuckles at you, you stare at the cash grumpily. "Did your talk with Harry not work?" Joseph asks, half teasingly. "Apparently not." You say sourly. You huff and open up your bag which is currently on Joseph's arm and get out your wallet, you shove the money in there then throw the wallet back into your bag. Joseph snickers at you. "His kind can be quite.. bullheaded, yes?" Joseph teases. "Yes. They can. A lot like your kind, I'm sure." You respond grumpily. Joseph chuckles sinisterly. "Oh, you have NO idea." He says ominously. Eventually you cool down some, you reach over and link your arm around Joseph's, he smiles widely and pulls you close to him. "Thank you for showing me that.. It would have probably taken me days to even notice it." You say softly. "No problem.. sweetheart." Joseph says coyly. "OH! By the way, I have to stop at the grocery store, I promised you both I would bake you a dessert of some kind for getting me a job and I happened to run into Harry in the din-" You get cut off by a rather annoyed Joseph. "I know." Joseph quickly interjects, his voice coarse and filled with annoyance. "What?-" You get cut off once more. "I was tailing you all day as I did my... "chores."" Joseph responds calmly, that dangerous tone lingers in his voice once more. "Oh.. well anyway, I need to bake him a blackberry pie, what kind of pie do you want.. my love?" You say soothingly as you rub his arm tenderly in an attempt to calm him. He sighs deeply and loosens up slightly. "Cherry pie please, my sweet love." He says softly. He seems slightly calmer, you smile at him. "Okay! Coming right up, baby cakes!" You say happily. Joseph smirks at you.

𝕁𝕠𝕤𝕖𝕡𝕙 ℝ𝕒𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕖𝕣 𝕏 𝔾ℕ! 𝕊𝕨𝕖𝕖𝕥 𝕃𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕒 ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕣 ℍ𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕔𝕒𝕟𝕠𝕟𝕤

------------------------------------------

Joseph thinks you look absolutely adorable! He adores every single outfit you have and will very proudly waltz you around town to show you off to the many nosy residents.

He loves to take you dress shopping, he'll wait eagerly outside the fitting room's doors for you to come out and give him a twirl. Quite frankly, he loves any and every dress you put on, so you're pretty much on your own when it comes to deciding which one to buy. But at least you have his unwavering support!

It doesn't matter what color the dress is, it always looks spectacular on you… But of course, he is quite partial to red as it's his favorite color.

Joseph tries to cook less messy food so you don't stain your beautiful gowns. Though, he has had a hard time finding some that aren't messy.. but the ones he has found he actually likes more than the messy ones, so it's a win win for you both.

He will not machine wash your dresses, he refuses to, to the dry cleaner they go to get the treatment the deserve!

If you do ever happen to buy him a matching suit for him to wear with you he'll be weary… mostly because he thinks he can't pull off most colors, but with a little encouragement he'll be happily strutting around town with you.

If there's ever a medium sized puddle in your way Joseph will pick you up bridal style and walk through it instead as to not stain your clothing… he's very thoughtful like that.

If you happen to wear a lot of Lolita suits his entire opinion on life will change. He starts to encourage you to wear more suits than you do dresses... it seems he has a thing for you in a suit. His reaction is very adorable, he'll blush bright red and have the softest eyes the entire time he's around you, what a baby.

------------------------------------------

Well, you definitely caught his eye… and almost made him run into a pole. "What the hell was that person wearing..?" He snapped his head around so damn fast people walking past him thought he almost broke it.

He looked you up and down as you walked away, trying to comprehend why on earth you're wearing that. It doesn't look bad, in fact he thinks it looks fantastic on you… he's just never seen anything like it before in his life.

Before he knew it, he started tailing you, admiring you from a distance. He wanted to talk to you, you sparked his curiosity… but how will he do it? You ended up "knocking something off the shelf next to you" in a trinket shop and he "happened to be nearby and caught it". As he handed the item to you, he admired every inch of your face and outfit and a small smile subconsciously spread across his features.

You two ended up talking and really hitting it off, he offered to take you out for dinner at a nice restaurant just out of town, you went and to your surprise, it was an absolute delight. When you asked him whether or not this is a date he replied "Well, that's up to you. I'm fine with anything, you are very charming, after all.".

Joseph fully supports your style and if anyone gives you any weird glances he'll punch them right in the face.

You two end up becoming very close, he offers to take you shopping for new clothing and trinkets… mostly so he can admire you. Your style is a breath of fresh air to him. He was starting ot get tired of the small town life.

If you ever buy him something gothic to wear he'll happily wear it absolutely every where. He treats it as if it's an award from the military, he's so happy to be part of this culture… You think he may not understand that he can just.. dress how he wants to, and he doesn't have to be given gothic clothing to wear them or be invited into the culture to become goth.. Either way, you think his reaction is cute.

------------------------------------------

When I tell you this man is so good to you, when I tell you this man would take off his jacket and put it over a puddle for you.. I'm serious, he is such an absolute gem. He makes sure to treat you like absolute royalty. You're the only thing that matters in his entire world and he treats you like it, you will always be his little princess and he will always be your knight.

He absolutely ADORES picking you up bridal style. He loves the way your eyes light up, he loves the way you wrap your arms around his neck, he loves how trusting you are of him. He never knew he needed to feel another person's touch so badly before he met you.. now he knows too well.

He is THE cuddle master, he can make you feel comfortable enough to sleep any where at any time of day. The subway, the park, a loud bar, the office, any where, it doesn't matter really, he always makes you feel safe and secure and his body heat makes you feel nice and sleepy. He often carries a jacket around just to cover you up with just in case one of those cuddle situations do occur. He wouldn't want you to "catch a cold", now would he?

He loves it when you run your fingers through his hair, it's one of the most calming things in the world to him. He just melts into your hands, letting all the stresses of life fall from him and just enjoying your gentle touch. If you give him a scalp massage he'll definitely fall asleep in less than five minutes.

Joseph is an amazing cook, in his spare time he practices many complicated dishes and eventually, once he knows he can cook said complicated dishes, he'll cook them for you for a dinner date. But only once he's perfected them, nothing less than perfect for his perfect little princess.

If you egg him on in public he'll use a portal to teleport you both some where more… private.. so he can absolutely ravish you. Do not test his patience, it wears thin very quickly.

If you ever cook for him, even if it's something simple like a grilled cheese, he will absolutely melt. He never once imagined you'd make him something to eat, for some reason it just never crossed his mind. He loves anything and everything you cook whether it's good or not, because you made it, it's perfect. It could be burnt and he'd still adore it. Awful flavor combo? Too bad, his darling made it so it's good enough for him.

If you bathe him he will cry the whole time. He just craves your touch so badly and to have all your attention on him and for you to be servicing him like that, carefully bathing him and telling him how much you love him.. it just makes him feel all mushy inside. It's like heaven to him, he never wants it to stop.

Netflix and chill dates are a must for Joseph, at least once a week. He loves to have you all to himself, wrapped up in a blanket, nibbling on some chips right next to him. He also loves to watch you in your natural habitat, he thinks you're cute and alluring.

Welcome to Patience: It's raining men (Chapter 6)

Joseph Rainier x F!Human Reader x Harry Vanderspeigle Rating: 16+

Fandom: Resident Alien

Story Type: Fluff / Thriller / Romance / Drama

3,672 Words

-Y/N = Your name- -L/N = Last name-

Music I listened to as I wrote: - Nothing! :)

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

You flip through a magazine as you wait for someone to check into the clinic or to call and schedule an appointment. This job was a lot easier than you expected, it only took you around an hour and a half to organize the mess of folders the previous secretary called a filing cabinet and another hour to clean up the front desk and make it your own with some pretty colourful paper clips you found in the second drawer. There were.. chip crumbs absolutely every where and some suspicious stains you don't even want to begin to try to identify. You flip to the page… you flip it again upon discovering the next page was chalk full of sex tips. Maybe another time, magazine, but certainly not at work. There's too many people around and you're one hundred percent sure you would flush redder than a fire hydrant if you read them in public… or period, for that matter. You examine every detail of the beautiful sweaters and dresses on each page, but none seem to be to your liking. You close the magazine and lay it on your desk for someone else to read. You look down the hallway towards the break room, waiting for something… anything.. to happen. Asta Twelvetrees rushes down the hallway and to the filing cabinet behind you, she smiles politely at you before switching out the file she has with another then she rushes back down the hallway and into the examination room.

You sigh deeply, not much happens in small towns, eh? So far you've only had two phone calls, and one was a wrong number looking for the pizza joint around the corner.. Good thing you have that police station secretary job too, maybe that one will be a bit more exciting. Either way, it's nice to be able to experience two different job atmospheres anyway, even if it was just to keep the boys in check. You look back down the hallway and see Harry rush out of the examination room and into his office and an old woman slowly creep down the hallway and out of the building. You look behind you at the giant brown wall clock that looks like it wants to be wooden but clearly isn't. "11:04.. He finished just in time." You think to yourself as you stand and stretch big and wide before walking over to Harry's office and knocking on the open door.

Harry gazes up at you, his expression changes from melancholy to a small smile, he places the pen he was writing with back down onto the counter and gestures to the light brown leather chairs in front of his desk. "Come in, come in! Do not be shy! And, close the door behind you, if you wouldn't mind." Harry says cheerfully. You quietly close the door and sit in the right chair in front of his desk. His expression brightens even more upon you sitting down. "My, you look lovely today! Now, what did you want, y/n? A check up?" Harry says then chuckles to himself. You look at Harry's black eye, it's almost healed as well. It looks like whatever alien species Harry is also heals extremely fast like the greys do. You sigh in relief. "At least it doesn't look like it hurts that bad.." You think to yourself. "Your eye is almost healed, that's good.. Did you get hurt any where else?" You ask softly, Harry pauses before answering. "Oh, yes it is. Do not worry, I was not very hurt in the fight. Barely a scratch." Harry shifts his position in his chair slightly, he leans to the right towards you and twiddles his thumbs energetically. "Good… good.. And just so you know.." You lean forward, his eyes widen at the close proximity. "Joseph admitted to me he was an alien, I know you are too, he just didn't go into specifics with you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone… not to mention, I don't have anyone to tell." You whisper. You lean back into the comfy leather chair. Harry blinks a few times, his expression unchanging before responding. "He admitted it to you? Just like that?" Harry asks, rather bewildered. You nod. "Yep. Well, I have proven to be a pretty trust worthy person I suppose.. Not to mention I kind of called him out on the very quick unhuman like movements, the lack of social skills, the fact you two had a full on brawl in less than forty seconds… I called out many things, is my point. It was, INCREDIBLY obvious. Not to mention, the first day I came here as I was unloading all my shit I saw a UFO hover over his side of the apartment complex so… it wasn't too hard to put the pieces together." You admit. Harry smiles widely before chuckling loudly at you. "You are an incredible woman! No one has ever found me out except for in emergency circumstances where I was almost dying! You figured all this out in less than a week? Incredible! Marvelous! You are the perfect woman!" Harry says loudly as he chuckles some more. After he finally calms down, he leans forward toward you. "You know the nurse, Asta Twelevetrees?" Harry asks in a hushed tone. You nod hesitantly. "She got caught with me in a avalanche accident.. we got caught in a crevasse and I was bleeding out, I did not have enough energy to keep this molecular form so I slowly reverted back to my original.. We'll just say she took it as well as you'd imagine she would. I thought about erasing her memory, but I decided it was a wiser decision to keep her around in case I needed her. She had proven useful to me and my mission, so I'd say I made the correct call. Her roommate D'arcy also recently found out and.. she thought I was a dinosaur.." Harry admits. You burst out laughing. "I know, ridiculous, isn't it? A dinosaur, of all things." Harry says in dismay. "A dinosaur? Are you shitting me? What are you, a reptilian?" You ask breathlessly. Harry shakes his head. "No… I am a Indiscernible noises.. Actually.. you can just call me an alien." Harry replies softly.

"Do you look like a dinosaur?" You ask sheepishly. "No! I do not look like a dinosaur! I am purple, not green and scaly!" Harry replies frustratedly. He rubs in between his brows, you giggle at him. "Just making sure, D'arcy sounds like a hoot." You say. "She is no "hoot", she is a pestering degenerate and I hate her." Harry states with a huff. "I think you view most people that way, Harry." You tease. "I do not see you that way…" Harry admits. "I don't see you that way either." You confess quietly. A few moments of silence pass before Harry speaks once again. "I must say.. I do have very.. peculiar feelings for you. Some that I have never felt for any other, ones that symptoms only correlate with love.. or a stomach parasite. I fear I may be in love with you.. which is against my entire species genetic code, we are not supposed to feel anything. Stop making me feel things, it is uncomfortable." You chuckle at Harry's genuine frustration with emotions. Your face flushes and your palms get sweaty. "You act as if I'm purposely making you to feel these things." You reply, Harry reaches across the desk and touches your cheek softly. "But you are.." He says softly before he returns his hand back onto his side of the desk. You sit there, flabbergasted. How are you supposed to go about doing this.. You don't know how you feel, so how will you explain that to him without breaking his spirit? Your throat becomes dry and you start to have a mild little panic attack. Suddenly you feel an uncanny feeling that Joseph is very close by and is INSANELY jealous and quite frankly, furious. You recall his words from earlier and take a deep breath. The feeling of him being near by gives you enough courage to admit your feelings to Harry. "Look I… I don't know how I feel about you yet. It's just so soon.. Though I do appreciate you loving me, and I don't mind it.. I just.. don't know how I feel about you yet. It will probably take at least a few months to truly discern my emotions." You say coyly.

Harry nods approvingly. "I do not mind a wait, I am very old and have been alive since way before you were conceived, I can wait forever if I have to. I've already waited this long for love, I can wait longer. But know, I will not give up on you.. ever. I will always love you and I will fight for you if need be. After all, that is what my species does, we fight to the death over potential mates." Harry says way too calmly. You nod softly. Quite frankly, you don't think you want to even ask about what he just said. You start to calm down a lot, now that everything's out in the open you feel a lot more at ease with the whole situation. You sink into your chair.. suddenly you remember the whole reason why you came in here to begin with. It's amazing how just being in his presence makes you forget every worry you've ever had and makes time stand still. "Oh yeah! I came in here to tell you to…" You reach into your wallet and throw his money back at him. "STOP THROWING YOUR MONEY AROUND IN PUBLIC! ARE YOU INSANE!? You're going to get shot or stabbed or mugged or something! People will kill over that amount of money, in fact, people will kill over any amount of money! So stop throwing it at me, capeesh?" You finish. Harry nods. "You do not want me to get injured?" Harry asks calmly, a small smug smile stretches across his lips. You shake your head. "Of course not.. I DO care about you.." You respond softly. Harry smiles widely before he stands up and walks over to your chair. "Come, it is lunch time, go eat. I do not want you to be hungry. I would be a bad potential mate if I did." Harry says as he lightly taps your shoulder, signaling you to get up. You stand and stretch slightly, trying to make the drowsy feeling in your limbs disappear, to no avail. You start to walk out of the room, Harry keeps his hand soothingly on your back the whole way to the door. Without you realizing, Harry slips the money into your back pocket. If he cannot throw the money at you, he will simply sneak it into your various compartments. Harry opens the door for you and once you're out of his office you feel his hand fall off of you. You turn back to look at him, missing his soothing touch. He smiles down at you with that familiar soft look in his eyes.. the same look Joseph gives you every time he sees you.. before he quietly shuts the door. You slump over in disappointment before slowly meandering into the break room across the hall.

You look around the break room for snacks as you wait for your future hubby to appear with the food as he promised. You waddle over to the coffee maker and consider drinking a cup of joe but decide not to as that'll probably make the growing drowsiness worse later on. You lean on the counter for a minute before you notice some chips propped up against the fridge, you walk over and open clamped the bag and start noming. You don't even take notice of the brand name. You eventually end up stopping and checking, lays cheddar? Nice! You hear a dramatic knock on the door behind you, you look over with a mouth chalk full of chips. Joseph covers his mouth slightly as he snickers at you. "Hungry, love?" He asks calmly as he walks over to the round table and places down a bag full of food. You quickly put the chips back and rush over to a seat at the table. You peer at the bag like a cat as he takes each container out. "Did you make it yourself?" You ask excitedly. Joseph hums with a nod. You giggle happily, you notice he seems a bit off which you assume is from him eavesdropping in on you and Harry's conversation. "I love your food, give me." You say as you paw on a container. "Nu uh uh! Wait your turn.. Bad kitty…" Joseph points a finger at you and stops unloading, obviously waiting for you to behave before he'll start again. You slowly place your hands neatly on top of one another and frown at him. "Thank you.~" Joseph says chipperly before he starts to unload the rest of the containers. After that he places the bag neatly into the floor and starts to open each container, revealing various meal options. Your eyes widen, you weren't expecting a feast. "Oh y/n I-" You quickly look over at the room's entrance, Harry's standing there glaring at Joseph. You look over at Joseph who is seemingly glaring back at Harry, you can't exactly tell because you can't see his face, but you can feel the tension so you assume he is. "Joseph." Harry states in a harsh tone. "Harry." Joseph says his name like a threat. A moment of silence fills the room before Harry slowly turns and leaves, making sure to eye Joseph down the whole way out. Joseph stares out of the room's doorway for a while before turning back around to face you.

You hear a soft deep rumble come from Joseph's throat, you assume it's a growl considering the giant scowl on his face. You reach over and pet his hair, he leans into your touch immediately, he shuts his eyes as he enjoys your attention. You pull away after a few moments, he opens his eyes and looks at you, you can tell he's deeply troubled. "Hey…" You begin as you get out of your seat and walk over to him, you gesture for him to scoot out some and he does just that. You look down at his face one more time, he's frowning deeply and he seems to be pouting slightly. You sit in his lap facing towards him and start to kiss all over his face and neck. Eventually Joseph starts to laugh and kiss you back and the rumbling almost ceases. After a while you pull away and look deep into his eyes, he seems much calmer but you can still sense that fiery rage deep within him. "You were near by and could hear everything, couldn't you, baby?" You ask softly. Joseph nods very slowly, that rage clearly rising within him once more. "I'm proud of you for not starting another fight.." You plant a soft kiss on his jawline then pull away again. "It's okay, everything is out in the open now, so there's no need for all that anger. It's for the better, he knows I don't know how I feel about him and he's okay with it. What's there to be angry about?" You say softly. "He should have stayed the fuck away. He knows you're mine." Joseph quickly spits back. The growl starts rolling within him once more, getting louder and louder by the second. "Honey, someone is going to hear that.." You warn quietly. "They won't, I stopped time. I have the ability to pause time for humans and the animals on earth for short periods of time." Joseph responds blatantly. You both stare at each other for a solid 10 seconds before you finally respond. "And you failed to tell me yesterday? Why on earth would you keep that from me?" You ask, mildly annoyed and offended that he didn't trust you enough to have that information. "I forgot I could.. I just had sex, I was loopy.." Joseph confesses shyly. You sigh and lean your head on top of his. "I guess that's fair.." You mumble. "But is there anything else I need to know about?" You ask, your tone seemed to make him perk up. He panics slightly. "I have a small hand held device that will portal me to most any where, as long as it's in range and has been added into the database. Otherwise, that's all I can think of. I promise I trust you." Joseph says quickly. He grabs your hands and holds them in his as he looks deep into your eyes, making sure you aren't mad at him. The growling calms slightly and his brows furrow in fear. You nod and sigh. "Okay… I'm sorry I got frustrated and scared you honey.. I didn't mean to.." You rub his hands with yours, he sighs deeply and leans back into his chair. "It's okay, I understand." He responds quietly. "Hey.." You start as you massage Joseph's scalp, he closes his eyes for a while then opens them. "I love you Joseph… I love you. I don't know if I love Harry.. I just know he makes me feel safe. For all I know that could be platonic. I haven't felt sexually attracted to him like I have you, okay? I love you, Joseph Rainier. I love you. And I'll stay with you no matter what." You reassure him. Joseph gets teary eyed, he nods and leans his face into your shoulder. The rumbling comes to a halt, finally.

"Thank you for being there for me, Joseph.. I probably wouldn't have been able to confess how I feel too him if you weren't.. It was so nerve wracking.. I didn't want to hurt him.." You say softly. ""Confess"…?" Joseph repeats hatefully. "Oh- I mean explain my feelings." You correct. Joseph sighs deeply and calms himself down. "Thank you for the food too.. It all looks so good." You mumble softly. "You're welcome." He says proudly, he's starting to sound like his old goofy self again. Suddenly, you fly into the air, you're flipped to face the table then sat back down onto Joseph's lap. You giggle, Joseph presses a kiss into the crook of your neck before he uses telekinesis to pick up a spoon and bring a piece of tasty looking steak to your mouth. You chop down and quickly chew. "Slow, darling… slow.. You don't have to scarf down your food, you're going to choke." Joseph warns. You chew slower and furrow your brows at him. You huff poutily and turn away from him, Joseph chuckles at you. You pick up a spoon and shovel a hunk of mashed potatoes into his mouth. Joseph points to his face as he chews. "See, slow." He says in your mind. You huff again and turn to bite down on your next spoonful of food from the little spoon that could. "You know.." You begin as you chew "slowly". "You seem to really like it when I'm in your lap.." You say quietly, you look up at Joseph and bat your eyelashes at him. He glares down at you with that sex glare of his. "Dirty dirty.. tisk tisk.." You tease before eating the spoonful of perfectly seasoned peas he brought to your mouth.

After being feisty and flirting the whole time you two were eating, Joseph he finally gives into his temptation. Joseph swiftly and gracefully picks you up from his lap and starts to walk. "Oh!- Joseph?-" He plops you against the break room's counter, he grabs your chin and french kisses you passionately. Your tongues twirl around each other's in a frenzy. He claws at your shirt and about rips the damn thing, but luckily manages to control himself enough to where he doesn't. You both moan loudly in between breathes, you gasp for air as he starts to grab at your breasts. Suddenly, he parts away from the kiss. You pant breathlessly, hopelessly looking up at your boyfriend in a hot daze. Joseph smirks down at you before he walks over to the round table and starts to pack up all the food into his white tout. "B-but Joseph-" You begin, Joseph looks over at you and smiles widely. "You're mine." He states blatantly before he throws the bag's handles over his shoulder and starts to walk out. The glare he just sent you was full of something primal… it just turns you on even more. "But-" You start once more, Joseph stops at the doorway and looks back at you with that delicious smile of his. "But I can see how badly you want me.." You say and point to his crotch. "And I can see how badly you want me." He says as he points back at you, you have a sudden moment of clarity and quickly fix your hair and your clothes. "I'll see you later, sweetheart.." Joseph says softly before he walks away. "Damn.." You mumble with a smile. He knows how to leave you wanting more, that's for sure.. You start to hear chattering in the halls, you quickly hop off the counter and adjust your clothes some more. As Asta and D'arcy enter the room you slip past them and return to the desk. You can still feel Joseph some where nearby, observing you some how. You're starting to wonder if his "errands" was just code for stalking you. Honestly, you wouldn't mind if it was… but you trust that he does genuinely have some alien stuff to do. You look up at the clock, 11:45? You start to pack up and head to the police station. Wouldn't want to be late for your first day, now would you? Who knows, maybe Joseph is already there waiting for you.

Welcome to Patience: What a lovely dinner (Chapter 4)

Joseph Rainier x F!Human Reader x Harry Vanderspeigle Rating: 16+ (NSFW)

Fandom: Resident Alien

Story Type: Fluff / Thriller / Romance / Drama

5,166 Words

-Y/N = Your name- -L/N = Last name-

Music I listened to as I wrote: -"The Pusher · Steppenwolf"

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

You have to admit, despite today's rather… shocking events, this turned out to be a pretty good day. You went grocery shopping, met Harry, had two boys fight over you, got free groceries, got TWO part time jobs, got welcome gifts from Harry, had two guys fist fight over you, and had a VERY romantic dinner with the hottie across the hallway. Not to mention, he made you the best ratatouille you've ever eaten. In fact, it's the only ratatouille you've ever eaten.. but you're certain it is by far the best ever made. "That was absolutely delicious, Joseph. Compliments to the chef." You say as you politely pat your mouth with your napkin. "Why thank you, your majesty." Joseph responds playfully.

You stand up and stretch. "Hey Joseph?" You ask. "Yessss~?" Joseph draws out. "What time is it?" You ask curiously. Time really started to fly by when you both started to play around with each others food. Airplaning fork fulls of food into each others mouth, creating small towers out of the thin slices of vegetables then using them as defense towers against the enemy jets, the forks… it was a very busy time and you don't want to stay up too late and be miserable for tomorrow's shift at the doctor's office.. or even worse.. sleep in and miss it entirely. Sleeping in on the first day? Awful first impression, zero out of ten. No one would hire you after that. Joseph lifts up his wrist about an inch from his face and makes a dramatic frown face as he reads the time on his watch. "It is…. 4:08 P.M." He stops making the silly face and lays his hand neatly on top of the other on the tabletop. "Which means we have about…" He looks up as he processes… which only takes him about a second to do then returns his gaze back to you. "About 7 hours until the average person goes to bed, which is about eleven P.M… Only six hours if you want to get there early and make a good impression… So what do you say princess? Do I have you for about six more hours or do you have things to do?" Joseph asks sarcastically. He grins widely at you, knowing full well you want to stay here.

You flush slightly. "Well… I don't have a television yet or really anything entertaining to do at home…" You dramatically rub your chin. "And you do have a flat screen television and you do seem pretty entertaining yourself.. I suppose it would be… hmmm.. a wise decision to use this date as an excuse to watch your tv and use your various items for my entertainment." You respond playfully before you start to walk over to the couch and plop down onto it. "God it feels so comfy.." You think to yourself. You just sink into it, it feels like a heavenly cloud. You look over at Joseph, he looks back at you and smirks, mostly likely recognizing your comfortable bliss on his couch. "Maybe I can use you for my entertainment as well." You say with a smirk, Joseph blushes and looks back the the table. "One moment princess, I have to clean these dishes, then I'll be over and you can do whatever you'd like to me." Joseph responds calmly, he stands up and starts to stack the plates onto one another. You frown, your playmate is going to make you wait? That sucks. "Awwww.. But that's going to take forever…" You pout and lay your head on the couch's back rest. You watch as Joseph carries the dishes to the sink. "Welll~, it will take less time if you find something for us to watch on the telly.~" Joseph responds. You huff. "Fine." You turn back around and grab the remote grumpily, you turn on the tv and start to flip through it's many channels. You hear the sink turn on and after a while you eventually hear Joseph start to hum "Let's go fly a kite" from Mary Poppins as he scrubs the dishes and pans. You smile to yourself, what a charming guy. You've never met someone who has so much personality and charm, it's a refreshing thing to experience after staying around the same people for so long. No one from where you lived ever did anything original or says anything new, it's all just useless chatter and the usual boring activities. Joseph brings out the adventurer in you and you love that. This town is turning out to be quite the journey for you, everyone here seems so new to you and so untouched by man's awful expectations, it's a breath of fresh air. Not to mention how Joseph makes you feel..

You can't say you wouldn't mind staying here with him every night, eating here, maybe he cuddles you and you fall asleep and when you awaken he's made breakfast… It's a bit early for such domestic thoughts considering you just met him yesterday, but you can't help but crave and idealize such a simple life with someone like him. He makes you feel safe.. him and Harry.. You've never felt this safe around anyone before.. not even family. You can't help but to want it to last forever, this is what life should be like, for everyone. Before you know it you feel a heavy force sit right next to you and you catch a bit of air. You look over, Joseph is seated maybe an inch away from you, his arm is draped behind you on the back of the couch and his other hand is neatly sat in his lap. "Well, did you find anything, sweetheart?" Joseph asks, his voice charismatic and chipper. You can't help but feel like you two are already like a married couple, considering how often he uses domestic pet names… perhaps you're in the right in iscase and this is weirdly domestic and you just haven't realized it yet. Maybe you have subconsciously, but not consciously.

"Not yet. I couldn't really focus on the tv, I was… uh.. thinking about some things." You respond before continuing to search down the tv guide for anything that peeked your interest. "Ah… I meant to tell you earlier.." Joseph starts, you look over at him, his face is flushed bright red. "I'm sorry for what happened.. you know.. the uh, boob situation." Joseph finally manages to say. "Oh, no no, it's no problem. It wasn't your fault anyway. Besides.. I wouldn't mind you in between them any how." You say with a smirk as you watch him flush the deepest red you've ever seen. He looks back up at the tv with a thousand yard stare. "Good, just wanted to make sure." Joseph says softly. You giggle slightly before you look back up at the television which is currently playing grey's anatomy. Suddenly, Joseph slowly slips the remote out of your hand before you could flip the channel again, you think he's found something he wants to watch but then he sets it beside him on the couch. Before you can even ask Joseph takes a hand and grabs your chin, he moves your face up to meet his and looks deep into your eyes. You both stare deeply into one another's depths and see a familiar spark of passion and fire burning beneath. And with this final consent, he kisses you passionately. He bites at your bottom lip as one of his hands slips across your shoulder and wraps around your body protectively, the other quickly follows suit as he pulls you closer to himself. You cup his face with your hands and put your all into the kiss before you finally slip your tongue into his mouth, he moans quietly and he slips his into yours. His tongue carefully and precisely laves and twists around yours, leaving you absolutely speechless. Your breath starts to quicken rapidly and you burn red hot for his touch. Your heart practically beats out of your chest. You desperately try to catch a breath in between each moan that escapes your lips. You claw at his shirt, trying to grab onto him in any way possible, just trying to find any way to get even a little closer to him, to feel him. You reach underneath his button up and claw at his back, he moans loudly and carefully slips you underneath him and before you know it, you're both laying against the couch making out.

He pulls away to your utter disappointment, but then he quickly starts to bite and nibble at your neck. His movements are swift and hungry, he wants you just as much as you want him.. but do you want to give yourself to him yet or do you want to keep playing this little game with him? You moan as he marks you as his, leaving small bite marks all across your collar line that will most likely brouse later. He pauses to look up at you, his eyes are filled with desire and love. You feel your heart soften, apparently he liked your reaction because he immediately raises back up to meet your lips once more, locking you both into a french kiss once again. You start to rub your crotch against him ever so slightly, he quickly catches on and starts to roll his hips into yours. You both go a soft and slow pace at first, but as time goes on it becomes harder, quicker, you feel your strength to hold back weaken with each thrust. But he doesn't seem to be letting up at all, he never goes too fast… just enough.. just enough to edge you but never enough to spill you over. He knows what he's doing to you, you're sure of it. You feel him smile against your lips as he pushes his tongue deeper into your mouth, he explores every crevasse you have, lightly sucking as he does so, seemingly just to taste everything you have to offer. He kisses you like your a delicious dessert that he wants to devour. You moan loudly, your crotch is hot and wet with desire, you're not sure how long you can keep doing this, especially with him teasing you like this. He pushes himself against your sensitive sex one more time before he just stays there, still and unmoving. He keeps such a hard pressure, like he's going to move and give you what you want, but he doesn't.. he just.. stays there. You start to claw at his back once more, trying to get him to move or to move yourself, but it's just not the same. You feel him start to chuckle and he pulls away, making quick work to hide his face in the right crook of your neck. He decides to relax himself and lays on top of you, but he doesn't feel heavy, he feels like he weighs as much as a nine year old would. You feel his hot breath lap at your skin as he starts to calm down. You can feel his pulsating erection screaming to be freed from his jeans. You feel electricity shoot through your entire body. "..You've made me wet." He says blatantly, still heaving. You feel slick start to leak from your sex as you blush deeper. He giggles at you. "I knew that would make you come.." He confesses, his voice soft in your ear. He starts to nibble and blow his hot breath into it and it sends a series of shivers down your spine. You reach up and pull his hair in retaliation, he sighs deeply and starts to suck on your ear lobe. "That's enough." You think to yourself. "Joseph, hop up for a second, I want to try something." You smile deviously. Joseph pauses for a few moments before sighing deeply and getting up. He sits on the other end of the couch and you quickly hop up and sit in front of him. "Am I allowed to touch you however and where ever I want?" You ask, he stares at you for a moment before nodding. "Good." You say with a big bright smile, the one that he loves oh so much.

You start to unbutton his shirt, he watches tentatively. You help him slip out of it then you simply drop it onto the floor. You brush your hands against his hot chest, granting a small sound from him. You start to lick around his left nipple and slowly drag your nails down his back, leaving raised red lines. His breath gets heavier and he starts to quietly moan with every flick of his nipple. After many minutes of listening to his blissful sounds of pleasure, you pause and look him dead in his eyes. He sees danger, but it's a danger he wants. He looks relaxed, soft, complisant. He's ready for anything you have for him. You unlatch your lips from his pectoral, a string of saliva connects you with him, he reaches up and removes it with his index finger then he carefully wipes your mouth with his thumb. He returns his hand back onto the couch back, pushing his body weight into it. You look down and smirk, you unbutton his jeans and unzip them, you motion for him to sit up a bit and he does so, you pull them down to his knees and motion for him to sit back down and he does just as he's told. You take one more look at his face, he's a mess, his cheeks are bright red, and he's looking at you with all the love in the world. His hair hangs in ringlets and is starting to drape into his eyes and sweat is beading on his forehead. He gulps hard, awaiting your touch and whatever mischievous plan you have for him. And with that, you look back down at his white boxer breifs and reach into them, grabbing his shaft. He groans loudly at the sudden grasp of his cock, you look back up and see his mouth is agape and he's staring off into space. You have a feeling if he did look at you he would probably lose his strength to play and take you right here right now. You rub his tip to get some of his precum on your hand to use as lubricant and start to spread it down as you start to pump his shaft. He starts to buck lightly against your touch. You keep watching his every expression carefully, observing every moan and pant.. but he doesn't seem to care. He looks up at the ceiling in pure bliss, tears start to weld in his eyes, he snaps them shut and with that tears start to stream from his beautiful hazel eyes down his cheeks. He starts to buck harder and harder, faster and faster. You look down and pull his dick out of his underwear, you see strings of sticky slick are attached to his tip and underwear and you use your other hand to wipe them away. You take a good long look at what he's packing. It's a long girthy cock, around 9 inches. It's literally the most perfect penis you've ever seen in your entire life. It's a beautiful pale white, not like the usual human ones. It's without blemishes, curves, bends.. no extremely protruding veins.. just perfect.

A big shot of precum erupts out from his tip, it comes out quickly and with quite some force. You've never seen someone precum so hard or in that manner before.. it was almost like a volcano erupted. In fact, it almost hit your face, that's how much force it had. You can't imagine what him actually cumming will be like. You look back up at him with that big smile again, and his already love struck face softens into that of care. A small smile forms on his lips. "Like what you see.. sweetie pie?" Joseph asks in between pants. "Oh ho ho… yes I do.." You respond before you give him a big kiss, he kisses back eagerly. You break the kiss and look back down at his cock, you start to move your hand across his shaft again, he starts to moan and groan in unison with your hand's work. Joseph finally gives in and leans back against the arm rest, practically laying down, allowing you to do whatever to you want to him. "Good boy..." You quietly praise him. His hand is barely holding onto the couch's back rest, he squeezes it harder with every pump. He pants hard, and you see his stomach twitch like he's close to reaching his wits end. "Y/N…" He groans. You hum in response. "I think I've had enough of this little game of yours.." He responds, you think it's a joke but then he sits up and suddenly you can't move your hand anymore, it's just stuck at the center of his cock. You look up at him in surprise, his expression is gentle and soft but the desire is more than blatant now. He kisses you passionately, you fall backwards and right as you hit the couch… you feel sheets underneath you? It didn't sound like before either, that didn't sound like your clothes hitting leather, that sounded like your clothes hitting fabric. He pulls away and sits on top of your crotch, you see a dark room and immediately realize what he did, he teleported you to his bedroom. A lamp clicks on by itself revealing a more than eager looking Joseph with a pouty face. You realize your hands are above your head and your hand is no longer stuck on his dick. You open and close it a few times just to be sure.

"Y/N.." Joseph says hungerly. You look down at his cock and realize he's practically on the brink, his cock is visibly pulsing and is a bit redder than before. "Did I edge you too hard, snookums?" You ask, half serious. He huffs before responding. "It's my turn to toy around with you." He says, there's that dangerous after tone again. You spread your legs apart and with that all your clothes magically start to come off you. "Telekinesis. Bah." You think to yourself, slightly annoyed that he can do all this fancy shit and you can't. Just imagine the damage you would do to him with such abilities. "May I do whatever I wish to you? And if things do happen to get hot and heavy, do you really wish to give me yourself, to hold and to keep?" He asks softly. You think for a moment, and only a moment, before blurting your response. "Yes, fuck yes… I want you Joseph.." You mumble the last bit softly. "I know what you think, I know how you view me, and I've viewed you the same way this whole time.. like a partner I wish to keep for the rest of my life. I wouldn't want a single thing to happen to ruin this relationship.. which is why I have to make extremely sure that you are absolutely one hundred percent positive you want me to do this. So I shall ask one more time before doing so, are you sure?" Joseph asks, deadpan and serious. You nod in response. "A verbal response, please." Joseph asks kindly. "Yes, and if you did want to marry me, I would probably say yes." You tease, he looks at you with a very serious glint in his eyes before continuing. "And I know what you're thinking about subconsciously, it's Harry. If you do discover that you have feelings for him as well, ..I am open to having a polyamorous relationship with you, but my end will be closed. I see no one in this world being worth my while, but you. And I can absolutely guarantee.. we will fight constantly and it will be over you every time. And since you're being so compliant…" Joseph trails off. "Wrong words to use, buddy." You quickly vex, he doesn't respond. Another set of eyelids appear and blinks sideways over his beautiful hazel eyes. They're light grey and seem to be almost translucent. "I am what you suspected previously, I am an alien. Well, I'm a hybrid between a grey alien and a human.. and before you ask, no they didn't have intercourse with humans to conceive us, we are created through a scientific means." Joseph finishes. You blink, you weren't expecting that reveal just yet but it's most definitely more than welcome.

"I don't mind… I think it's neat." You quietly respond. He nods in response before he leans down and starts to lick at your exposed sex. You moan with each kitten lick of your clit. You mindlessly start to buck into him, he starts to suck on your clit and he use his tongue to hit your exposed nerve. He swirls his tongue around it, seemingly tasting you as well, you feel him smile against your sex. Joseph pauses. "You taste lovely, my love." Joseph says before returning to his previous mission. Your legs start to get sore from the constant twitching and convulsing. He purposely teases and edges you for over twenty minutes before he finally stops and raises back up. He looks up at you, drool is dripping from the corners of your mouth and sweat is dripping from your brow, you're barely holding it together.. and that's exactly what he wants. He wants you to be a muttering breathless mess before he takes you for himself. He wants to do to you what you did to him, show you how much he loves you. He sits up and strokes his length a few times before he climbs on top of you, he brushes his tip against your clit, then down to your opening. "Please Joseph… fuck me.." You whimper breathlessly. He starts to barely push his tip into you, in then out, in, out, in, out, before he finally pushes himself fully into you, slowly, agonizingly slow. You moan loudly as you take his girth. His cock is burning hot for you, so slick and so comforting. He patiently waits for you to get used to him, he nips at your nape and leaves soft kisses down your chest. You tap his back twice once you're comfortable and he gets the memo, he starts to thrust. He thrusts deep and slow, making sure to make every inch of you tremble beneath him. His breath picks up and you feel his cock start to pulse in rhythm with his heartbeat again, you feel your walls start to pulse against him as well. "Ughh~" He starts to lose himself in the pleasure, he whimpers and groans with each thrust. "Ugh.. Ughh.. Uughh~" His moans start to become more drawn out and you start to feel his motions quicken.

You moan loudly, uncaring of who hears you above or below. He french kisses you, you both wrap your tongues around each others as you both start to approach your finish. He lowers his body until he's right against you, his sweaty body barely brushes against yours with each thrust. You wrap your arms around his neck, Joseph leans a bit closer to your body so you can embrace him easier. He uses his full weight to push deeper into you. Suddenly, Joseph pulls away from the kiss. "Y/N… NyAh~ The.. th.. condo..ms.." He mutters between moans. "It's okay Joseph.. c-cum into me.. it'll be okay. I'm sure.. ughh~.. you ha-ve some sort.. Mm~.. of technology so-me where to stop pregn-ancy." You reply, his thrusts jarred you as you spoke. He nods as he starts to push into you as deep as he possibly can. You start to feel your stomach tighten and you feel his tighten against yours. You both ejaculate in and around one another, each others orgasms strengthening your pleasure. You both scream out in ecstatic then with a few deep shallow thrusts, Joseph finally collapses on top of you. He feels a lot heavier than he did before, you assume he was using telekinesis to hold himself off you last time. "I love you.." Joseph whispers into your ear as he tries to regain his composure. "I love you too Joseph.." You reply. You look over at him, he raises his head from your shoulder and kisses you, then lays back down. He plants a few small kisses on your ear lobe before he snuggles comfortably into your neck. After a few minutes of just being in each others company as you both came down from your highs, Joseph gets up and carries you princess style to the bathroom and draws a bath for you. Of course you both bathe each other and snuggle in there, then he carries you to the couch so you both can watch some tv. You insisted you could walk, but he insisted that he could carry you and that you're his little princess and you will be treated as such. You lay on Joseph's chest, barely paying attention to the tv, you're too focused on his calming heartbeat to care about some program.

"What did you used to do for fun, Joseph?" You ask quietly. A moment passes before he answers. "I read a lot of books, but otherwise there wasn't much to do that peaked my interest. We could play ball and things of that nature, but no one ever wanted to. We would rather learn things or observe it being played instead of doing it ourselves. It must be that grey in me." You nod in response. "You must be pretty smart then, huh? To want to know how everything works and to be so observant." You reply. Joseph hums in agreement. "You seem pretty smart yourself, finding creative ways to deal with two fighting men isn't easy. You're a natural beauty and brains.. that's rare." Joseph says with a chuckle. "Thank you.. I try my best." You reply softly. "It shows." Joseph responds. A few more moments pass before you speak again. "Joseph..?" You ask shyly. "Yes, love?" Joseph responds. "Are we an item now?" You ask hesitantly, you're unsure of what this really was, was it a one night stand? Was it the first of many? Or was it the start of a new life together? "If you'll take me.. darling." Joseph answers just as unsure as you asked. "Of course I will.. I'd take you any day." You respond with a smirk, Joseph chuckles again. "And I'd let you take me any day too. What a beautiful princess I've bagged…" He says with a sigh. You blush wildly. "Stop calling me thattt.." You whine. "Aww.. is her majesty getting flustered? My little sweetheart.." Joseph teases. "That's it this conversation is over." You respond. A moment of silence passes before you speak again. "How long have you been a sheriff's deputy?" You ask. "I thought this conversation was over?" Joseph teases. "Shut up." You respond with a huff. A few moments go by before Joseph answers your question. "For… however long I've been here in Patience… about.. two months? We live on the greys mothership. Any record of me down here is fake, ID, birth certificate, social security number, all fake. The greys send us down here to do their bidding since they cannot stay in the Earth's atmosphere for too long... we don't really mind it. We get free food, endless money, endless identifications, endless possibilities… It seems like a fair trade." Joseph answers. "Interesting… Do they treat you all well?" You ask. "Yes, we get the same amount of respect as anyone else. Although… they do occasionally treat us like children, which is fair, considering they raised us." Joseph quickly responds.

"What do the greys have you do?" You ask hesitantly, not wanting to accidentally upset him or any grey that could be secretly listening. "Before I came to Patience I was stationed in a secret section of your government that was searching for aliens and alien hybrids… they never found me out, before you ask. They kept kidnapping random people that they thought were aliens, which.. all of them were human, except one. A small baby alien whom belonged to Harry, which is why he broke in and destroyed everything, I assume. I was.. looking for something I shall not name for safety reasons for your sake. Harry.. came in to retrieve his child and broke everyone out including the person I was looking for... and over all caused a whole mess.." Joseph rubs in between his brows in frustration before returning his hand back onto your back and continuing. "Luckily, I was able to retrieve the item I required after he broke out. Then I was stationed to watch Harry here and try to get him off our tails. He is… quite annoying... and racist. Everyone hates greys, it's extremely annoying. But anyway, I was there for about… hmmm.. I'll say about two years. I was there when it first started and it wasn't running for very long before Harry came and wrecked the whole mission. Honestly, it was handled terribly. I'm surprised it even lasted that long." Joseph finishes. "But.. what exactly are you doing here… on Earth?.. I mean the greys.. are they observing or watching over the planet or what?" You ask. "…Honestly, I haven't been informed. I understand why, humans are quite blabbery." He answers. A pit forms in your stomach. "What if they're here to kill us all?" You ask panickly. "Well, I won't let them. So don't worry about it, okay sweetheart?" Joseph responds, he rubs small circles into your back. You nod and start to calm down. "Do you have all the same organs as the average human male?" You ask softly. "No, I'm missing quite a few. I don't have even close to the same amount of organs a human has, but I have better ones, grey ones. They do multiple things, so there's no need for as many of them. I would explain it in detail but I think it's a bit late for an anatomy lesson, that's for another day entirely. Very complicated stuff." Joseph answers. "I'm starting to get sleepy.." You quietly confess. "Then go to sleep, my love. You can stay here tonight… You can stay here any time you'd like." Joseph whispers as he plants a soft kiss on your forehead. "By the way, I talked to the sheriff, you're hired. Be at the police station at 1 P.M. okay?" Joseph informs you. "Mhmm.." You hum in approval. "I'll remind you tomorrow morning in case you forget.." Joseph whispers. The feeling of him holding you and his even breath and heartbeat lulls you into a deep slumber. Soon after Joseph passes out as well, holding you tightly in his arms.
