Playing The Long Game
Pairing: Soft!Dark Cole Turner x Reader \
WC: 408
Summary: You and Cole are roommates…but could you be more?
A/N: orginally this was going to be fluff but then I watched Ghosted and I realized I had to make it a little dark cause Cole is a creep.
Written for @the-slumberparty Bingo challenge This checks off Night out and roommates!
You stumble through the door, your roommate Cole right on your heels.
“Whoa be careful” Cole says as he catches you by the arm. You tripped in your drunken attempt to take off your shoes. Leaning against him you pout your lip and give him your saddest eyes
“Help please” you beg.
With a laugh Cole walks you over to your couch and sits you down. Placing your legs in his lap he starts to gently take off your shoes, once he’s got them off he begins to give you a nice foot rub while you turn on the TV and queue up your show.
He tries to focus on the task at hand and not on the fact that your already short dress is riding up allowing him to see even more of you. He averts his eyes and turns instead to look at the TV trying to focus on the show rather than… No. Nope. He’s not going to think about it.
You fall asleep before the episode even ends so Cole decides it’s time for bed. He helps you clean your makeup off and then gives you some pajamas. He waits while you change and use the bathroom. You're still pretty drunk so he sets up a bucket by your bed, just in case, even though he’s sure you won’t need it. You stumble in and throw everything off your bed, but before you can climb in you grab Cole’s hand and pull him towards you. Then you give him what is easily the best kiss of his life. It’s over before he knows it and you're climbing into bed waving at him like it’s just any other night.
“Night handsome see you tomorrow” you sing before turning out the light and going to sleep.
Cole stands there stunned, unsure what to do. In a daze he walks out your room closing the door behind him.
Cole’s dad always says ‘drunk words are sober thoughts’… and if that’s true it means his plan is working. He goes into his room and pulls out the ring he got for you. He had it custom made for you about a month or two after you moved in. After things went off the rails with Sadie he decided to take his sisters advice, he’s playing the long game with you. After all he doesn’t care how long he has to wait since you're going to be his forever.
