you're babysitting this 5 year old girl and she's called Ellie, she's adorable with pink cheeks and brown braids.
She beams at you from your lap, tugging on your hair as she says- "I wish my hair was like yours y/n"
*You shake your head, running your fingers over her plaits- * "no, sweetheart. your hair is beautiful, okay? don't wish it away"
She looks down, pondering quietly before she giggles, "okay, y/n!! thank you!" She smiles at you again and plays with the zip on your hoodie as two figures enter the room.
Your enemy,Raghab and his older brother,Raiden. Ellie waves and smiles at them, still snuggled up in your lap.
You frown, not realising why they were there. Your enemy,Raghab frowns too, not liking the sight of you with Ellie in your lap.
"What are you doing here, princess?"
He sneers and you roll your eyes. "I'm babysitting Ellie, it's my job" you state matter-of-factly.*
"you're good with kids, princess."* it sounds different when he says it, soft even.He deepky looking at you.his eyes full of love and affection. Butterflies explode in your stomach and you busy yourself with smoothing down Ellie's shirt instead of looking up at Raiden. You see him grin in the corner of your vision, he grabs ahold of your chin between his thumb and forefinger, gently tilting it up so you had no choice but to look him in the eye.
"Keep those pretty eyes on me, y/n" He muses, rubbing my skin with his thumb, smirking as your breath catches in your throat.
"Don't give all your attention to Ellie, I'm needy too"
You burst out laughing as he pouts as you, he's stupidly adorable.
