'Assistant' - Henry Wu x Reader - Book 1

C ~ III~ Drinks 🍻

I groaned slightly as I tried sitting up, before realizing Henry was partially laying ontop of me. I froze, my face most likely red once more. Honestly, I wasn't complaining but I had to get up soon.

I turned to face the alarm clock, making sure I didn't wake Henry. 18:16, definitely gotta get up and going soon. I sighed as I looked down at him. I slowly managed to get out of his grip, making sure he was still asleep.

I went to grab a sweater when I realized he'll probably be sleeping by the time I leave. When I walked back over to the bed, I pulled out some paper and a pen from my backpack. I quickly started writing something for him if he didn't wake up before I left.

'Hey Henry, so if you're reading this; I'm most likely gone already. I mentioned this earlier today but Owen invited me to go drinking with a couple friends. If you weren't so tired or didn't need the sleep, I most likely would've invited you. Even though your answer would've been no. Try getting more rest if you need it, If you need anything just text me or call me if it's urgent.

Love you,
-Y/n'

I read over it a few times just to make sure it sounded right, then I set it down on the bedside table next to the bed. Once I made sure I had everything I needed, I walked over towards the door; glancing back at Henry before leaving.

It couldn't hurt to be early right? I mean I could see if Owen was down by the raptors still or not so it'll be fine. As I was walking to the Raptor pen, I couldn't help but replay the things that happened earlier in my brain. Honestly, never knew Henry would be one to cuddle.

Once I reached the Raptor pen, I was snapped out of my thoughts by my name being called.

"Y/n! You're..early?" Owen smiled, walking up to me.

"Mhm, sorry; I wasn't sure what else to do." I chuckled, hugging him slightly.

Owen waved his hand and rolled his eyes, walking past me and putting something down.

"Don't worry about it, I was about to go find you and the others anyways. Wanna join me?" Owen asked, turning back to fave me.

"Sure." I shrugged as I walked to the door.

We both set off to go find his friends, well I had known them to but we didn't talk much. The two friends had been Claire and Barry, I'd only talked to both of them a few times; on separate occasions that is.

Eventually we found both of them, Barry down by the Raptors and Claire in the Control room. It felt quite odd to be with the three of them but the feeling went away rather quickly.

Soon enough, we were at the bar or whatever Owen had invited us to. Me and Claire chatted for a while before Owen being Owen, decided he wanted to have a 'drinking contest'; to which I eventually agreed to.

//time skip cuz I'm to lazy to write that whole thing-\\

After that, Owen had his head down against the bar counter, Barry was patting Owen's back, Claire was laughing uncontrollably, and I had been holding my head in my hands.

I knew Owen didn't have good ideas half the time but I didn't think it'd end that bad. I groaned as I struggled to stand up, leaning against the counter as I reached for my phone.

While struggling to get my phone unlocked, I randomly started laughing. It could've been because of how fun or stupid tonight was or for no reason at all, but I was to drunk to know the answer.

Once I finally got my phone unlocked, I opened my messages and started texting Henry. I kept re-typing the message I was about to send for some reason, it just didn't look right.

Y/n L/n: 'Henry? Are you up right now'

I looked back over to Owen and Barry, Claire still dying of laughter next to me. Barry was trying to help Owen get up and walk, Claire slightly helping but still laughing. I felt my phone ding as I tried walking over to them.

Henry Wu: 'Yeah, I'm awake. What's up?'

Y/n L/n: 'I honestly forgot what I was gonna say so nevermind..I'll be back soon though I think. Love you <3'

I smiled to myself as I sent the message.

When Barry was finally able to get Owen up and walking (with Barry's support), we all headed back to the car, Claire being the only relatively sober one, ended up driving.

Once Claire dropped us all off, I stumbled against the door, trying to get my keys out of my pocket. I nearly fell onto the floor when Henry opened the door for me.

"Jesus christ, Y/n.." Henry mumbled, grabbing me.

"Hii..." I smiled, wrapping my arms around his waist.

Henry rolled his eyes as he locked the door behind me, turning back to face me and crossing his arms. I sat down on the bed, chuckling slightly.

"How many drinks did you have?" Henry asked, sitting down next to me.

"Uhhh.. 3.??" I closed my eyes, clearly I drank more.

Henry sighed, slowly rubbing my back. I looked over to him and smiled, he smiled a bit and shook his head slightly.

It hadn't been often that I'd get lost in my thoughts while looking at Henry, and now happened to be one of those times. But, this time; Henry seemed to take notice.

"You good?" He asked.

"Mhm.." I responded, moving closer.

Henry looked at me, confused. I still inched closer, eventually stopping pretty close.

"What are you.." Henry whispered.

I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck. He froze for a moment before raising an eyebrow.

"Can I.." I whispered, looking at his lips and back to his eyes.

"Sure.." Henry responded, smiling slightly.

I leaned closer, hesitating for a moment before kissing him. It was slow but passionate, at least my drunk self thought so. When we both pulled away, we just looked into each other's eyes, not saying a word.

Eventually, I lied down and sighed. Henry smiled and lied down next to me, cuddling into my side a bit. I smiled to myself, my eyes felt heavy. They closed and I slowly drifted into sleep.

But right before I fell asleep, the last words I heard were..

"I think I love you.."

Then, I was sleeping..
