Connor x Reader {2}

He dropped his cup and put his head on the table,signaling his loss for the competition. (Y/n) whooped,slamming her cup and proceeded to stand up in victory. But because she drank probably too much,she almost fell from her seat. Thanks to Connor,he held her arms as she laughed and pumped her fist in the air. "I am the best drinker in this tavern!" She yelled,sinking herself into Connor's warmth and gave out a blissful sigh. "God,I can't even go home being this sober." She grumbled,her arms slipping around Connor's torso and her head resting on his chest. "Cooooneeeeerrr..." She trailed off,her hood almost exposing her face as she put her hand on her cheek. "Help meeee..." Her legs suddenly gave out,giving Connor no choice but to carry her to the homestead. 'She could stay for the night,' he thought. 'As long as she doesn't give me trouble,she's okay.'

He didn't even seem drunk anymore,having a bit of conscious in him to take themselves home and rest for the night. He took his horse and placed (y/n) in front of him and made her lean on his chest as she fell asleep when he carried her bridal style outside the tavern. As he rode in the night,he suddenly felt nervous. For the first time,he went to the homestead with a girl who is sober yet mysterious. He brought home a stranger,and it made him think that he shouldn't have laid his eyes on her first.

"Well well well,Connor." Stephane gave him an all-knowing smirk,winking at Connor as he took a seat on the bar and asked for a cup of ale. "I seem to have remembered you taking home a very glorious woman. Did you...have fun with her?" Connor only frowned in response,not liking the point where he could even take his advantage on having that kind of fun on her. He's a nice guy,he doesn't play unfair. His mother taught him the correct manners and the correct ways on how to be a good gentleman. It would be disrespectful and disappointing that he will not follow his mother's teachings.

"I do not want to do those kinds of things with helpless women." He answered,taking a sip of ale and felt his head soothe a bit. Stephane could only sigh and look at Connor with his eyebrow raised. "You,my friend,are very disappointing."

Connor just shrugged and noticed that Norris just arrived and took a seat next to him. "I saw that you brought a marvelous lady in your homestead."

"And I did not do those kinds of things to her." Connor sighed. Norris just groaned,and asked a cup of ale. "Oh come on,Connor. She's a fine lady! Did you even take a peek of her face?" Connor shook his head,and Norris and Stephane just shook their head in disappointment. "Connor,my boy,I think you should be a man and court her."

"Why should I? She is a stranger to me."

"A fine stranger." Norris added. Suddenly,Stephane bang his fist on the table. "I got an idea." He exclaimed. "Let's have a bet then."

'A bet...?' Connor thought,thinking that it will be a waste that they will just make a bet on who will charm her first. He just felt his chest hurt when he thought that a man will just take (y/n) away and court her as his. 'Why do I feel this way?'

"Take this seriously,Connor. I bet that you could steal her heart in a few weeks,or maybe days." Norris said,sipping his cup and grinned at Stephane. "How 'bout you?"

"I think Connor could win her heart today." Stephane winked. "Just a hunch."

"Very well. Whoever wins will have to run naked in the town and be chased by guards."

"You have a deal there,Stephane." They shook hands,grinning at Connor who just looked at them in displeasure. "Go on,Connor. Come back to us if something's happened between you two." Norris just dropped his cup and shove Connor outside the tavern. He looked back,then grabbed the reins of his horse to return to the homestead to check on (y/n).
