Elf x Reader: Red String

"I can't do this." You sighed.

"What's wrong?" Elf wraps his arms around your frame.

"It's just all this paperwork is a pain in the ass." You sigh frustrated and exhausted.

"Must be killing you pretty bad now, if you actually swore." He smirks that famous smirk of his.

"You know me so well." You lightly smile and go back to the paperwork in your study. 

Being next in line for your family business is a lot more work than you thought. Originally your older brother was supposed to be the one taking over the business. But he became ill and the position is sorta being forced on you by parents. Your brother is guiding you through it though. You just wished he didn't have to leave.

"Of course I do. You are gonna be my wife someday." You drop your writing utensil and blush a deep, red.

"W-wife!? But Elf! We've only been dating for a few months!" You yelp.

"So? I just know your gonna be my wife. A great one to be exact." He sits on your desk. Pushing all your paperwork aside, he leans down so he's right in front of your blushing face.

"Admit it. You want me to be your husband as much as I want you to be my wife." He teases. Seriousness is in his tone though.

"So what if I do? J-just so you know if you're thinking of proposing then it's a no. We're not ready for that yet!" You try your best to keep your blush invisible but you knew it's no use. Also your boyfriend would know that your blushing no matter how hard you try to hide it.

"Don't worry. I'm not proposing just yet. Probably not for a long while but for now let's take things slow okay?" He kisses the top of your head.

Your eyes widen at his gentleness and love. I mean, yeah their are times when he's affectionate but that is very RARE. Honestly, you'd have a better chance at finding a unicorn than see him do something sweet and affectionate.

"You okay Elf?" You eye the man in front of you suspiciously.

"Yes I'm okay. Sometimes I just feel like I don't show you how much I love you." He smiles a true, genuine smile and brings you into a hug.

For the rest of the night, you abandoned your paperwork and just cuddled with your boyfriend.

Who knows. Maybe Elf is right. You may become his wife. Unknown to both lovers though, the red string of fate is tightly wrapped around each other, connecting in the middle and never loosening; only getting tighter.
