Tongue Tied- Cronus x Reader

Your name is- I'm sure you know your name by now.

That doesn't matter though. You are currently sitting at your best friend's house. She's having a party and you wanted to leave the house. It just so happens Cronus Ampora, your ex is here. Woop-de-fucking-do.

Take me to your best friend's house
Go around this roundabout
Oh yeah

Shit you've been spotted! He stumbles over to you, obviously drunk. You couldn't blame him. Everything in this house is alcoholic. You're a bit tipsy yourself now that you think about it.

Cronus slurs your name out. God, you can smell the alcohol on his breath.

"Eyyyy~ Hows about we do something, ya feel~?"

Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now
Oh yeah

Scrunching your nose you reply. "No, I rather not. You broke up with me thank you very much."

He watched you for a second.

"Damn, girl. You got me all tongue tied with that body of yours. And your voice," he chuckled almost falling down. "Like an angel's~"

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't...
Right!

You scoff, sipping your beverage again.

"C'mon~ If this was a month ago, we'd be makin' out. Your best friend planned this for you."

Rubbish. That's all that's spewing out.

Take me to your best friend's house
Normally we're making out
Oh yeah

You look away and Cronus frowns.

"Please, Babe. I still love you."

"Like you know the meaning of love!" You snap. Tears welled up in your eyes. "I loved and trusted you. Then you cheat on me?! And after all that you break up with me claiming it's my fault!?"

Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now

Cronus swallows, seeming at lost of words.

You shake your head and sigh. Tears run down your cheeks as you turn to leave.

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't...
Right!

You feel a hand on your wrist.

"What?" Your voice sounds small and weak as you choke back a sob.

"I'm sorry. Don't leave." You look back at Cronus. His fins are lowered and his lip is jutted out in a pout. He's cute, but you can't risk it. Not again. Never.

"It doesn't feel right without you. I can't sleep. I smoke more often. When I'm around you, I can't speak."

One, two, three, four
Don't leave me tongue tied
Let's stay up all night
I'll get real high
Slumber party; pillow fight

You eye him wearily.

"I miss our sleepovers. Pillow fighting over popcorn and movies." Tears started falling down his cheeks. You could barely make out what he was saying with all his blubbering.

"And I miss writing songs for you and singing them 'til you fall asleep and I'd put you to bed and tuck you in." He was pitiful.

My eyes on your eyes
Like Peter Pan up in the sky
My best friend's house tonight
Let's bump the beats till beddy-bye

"Just please don't leave. Don't go..."

Cronus' faded violet eyes watched you, a small glimmer of hope swimming in them.

You breath out and face him. His hand is still around your wrist. He's not letting go until he gets an answer.

Now you're tongue tied. Your free hand finds its way to his cheek.

"I love you. And I'll give you one chance. That's all." You kiss his cheek softly.

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't take me tongue tied
Don't kiss me goodnight
Don't...

Cronus smiles and pulls you into a hug. He smelled of beer but the faint scent of axe and hair gel still lingered.

"Thank you..." He says.

After a moment you wrap your arms around him.

"You're welcome..."

Take me to your best friend's house
Go around this roundabout
Oh yeah

You smile, glad to be back in his warm embrace. Once he sobers up things will be twice as good.

"I loved you then and I love you now." Cronus says.

"You and me both." You laugh.

Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now

The rest of the night was uneventful.

Except maybe a few drunk kisses here and there.

You smiled, but this one was different. This one was real. Cronus is back with you and he's not going anywhere. Just how you want it.

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't...

No one's tongue tied anymore. You and Cronus are going to be together forever. You can tell. No goodbyes. Only sleep tights.

You head home with Cronus by your side.

He sneaks a kiss on your cheek.

"Love you, Babe."

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't...

You give his hand a reassuring squeeze.

"I love you, too."
