Bab 78: Nathaniel x Depressed! Reader
This was requested by @new-world-leader. Go check them out! Thanks for reading!
Ever since you went to Francias Dupont you've been depressed. You got bullied by practically everyone except Nathaniel. He was that one friend that sees the beauty in everyone.
He's that friend who'll do anything to support you. He's kind, caring and outgoing. At least, that's what you thought.
You were currently sitting on your bed. You were staring at your phone, all the hateful comments on your (any form of social media). It hurt to know that people didn't appreciate you.
You let the tears fall one by one onto your shirt. You sniffed and put your phone away. You covered your head with you blanket and sobbed.
You walked up the school steps spotting Nathaniel up ahead. You dodged Chloe and Sabrina by a hair. But then came the real challenge.
Avoiding Adrien, Nino, Marinette, and Alya.
(In this they'r gonna bully you too.)
They glared at you but left you be. You sighed a breath of relief. You walked up to Nathaniel, plastering on a fake smile.
"Hey, Nath.", you greeted. He smiled and said, "Hey, (Y/n)." You started talking until it was time to go to class.
You curled up in a ball and cried. Adrien and Marinette, the 'power couple', had beaten you up in this alleyway. You sobbed and didn't care if someone saw you.
There were footsteps coming from a distance. You sniffed and looked up. It was just the person who takes the trash.You continued to cry as he passed you.
He didn't spare you a glance.
Are you really invisible? That not even a stranger will look at you? You curled yourself even tighter.
The man left a few minutes later, without even the slightest concern for you. You stayed in your ball, not wanting to leave. You didn't want to go home now.
There was an echo of footsteps. You hesitantly peered up to see...Nathaniel? Oh no...
You didn't want him seeing you like this!
He slowly went over to you. He was looking at you, probably not recognizing you. You still in your tight ball.
"Um, are you ok- wait. (Y/n)?!"
You sniffed and unfurled yourself. You wiped your eyes and plastered on a fake smile. "Heeyy, Nath..."
Without hesitation he wrapped his arms around you. "(Y/n), what happened?" Your eyes widened but you nuzzled into his neck, feeling the warmth and safety you've been longing for.
"O-oh...nothing.", you fib. Apparently he saw right through you. "(Y/n), what's wrong?", he asked angrily.
"I-I told you! N-"
"But it's not nothing! Something wrong and I know it!"
He pulled away from the hug and looked at you intently. His eyes widened when he saw multiple bruises, even blood coming from your face and arms. "(Y/n)! Who-who did this to you?!"
You broke down and sobbed. "A-Adrie-" You didn't have to finish your sentence for him to know.
"Those jerk! Why would anybody harm-"
"Nath...it's ok.", you assured him. He stared at you in disnelief. "(Y/n), I'm not just gonna stand back and watch this happen to you! Come on." He grabbed you hand and pulled you to your feet.
You stumbled and fell down since your bullies had also kicked your legs. They were dysfunctional. You looked at Nathaniel with tears in your eyes.
You looked down just to have arms wrap around you and lift you to a chest. Your eyes widened when you saw Nathsniel. "Nathaniel! Wh-what are you doing?! Put me down!"
"No, (Y/n). You're hurt and need medical care. I'm not going to settle for this."
You smiled softly and closed your eyes. "Thank you...Nathaniel."
You woke up in a hospital bed. You looked around to see Nathaniel seated beside you, leaning on the bed rail. He was sleeping.
You slightly nudged him and he titi red in his sleep. You heard him mumble something in his sleep. You blushed when you heard what he said.
"(Y/n)...I...lo..ve...you."
"Um, N-Nathaniel?", you stuttered. His eyes opened wide and he looked at you. "(Y/n)! Y-you're awake!"
He wrapped his arms around you. You did the same and smiled. A true smile...
