Hi there! I have an RE request with Luis as our main guy. He is the reader's lab partner and friend. And then she asks him why he is still single and he just said "Because she doesn't notice my hints." The reader doesn't realize that Luis is talking about her. And then one day, he gets injured and acts more dramatic than necessary. He always asks for reader's help while he is on a wheelchair so he could spend more time with her. She tries to act annoyed, but she has a soft spot for him. It all ended when a spider catches him off guard and makes him jump, showing the reader that he has already recovered from his injury and is just being dramatic.
Lol I love this idea! Finally got time to write, phew
Take a Hint - Luis x fem!reader
"Did you write up your notes for sample 3?" You leaned over Luis' shoulder.
He turns his head, almost nose to nose. You smell the smoke of his cigarettes and cologne that's rich and spicy. Both smells so familiar that you could melt.
"Oye! Gimme a minute, will you?" He smiles.
You raise an eyebrow, as if to ask him to rephrase it.
He smiles sheepishly, "... But anything for the lady, yeah?"
"That's what I thought." You sigh, then crack a smile, "It's a wonder you're still single."
"What do you mean? I'm a heartbreaker." He flashes another cocky smile.
"You know what? I am curious. Why are you single?" You cross your arms and lean forward.
His face falls slightly and he looks to the side, avoiding your eyes, "She doesn't take any of my hints..."
Your heart sinks. So he does like someone. Here you were, silly enough to wish it were you.
"O-Oh," You stand up straight, "Why don't you just tell her, then? Get it all over with."
"She probably doesn't feel the same way... and if that's the case, I don't want it to be all over."
"Well even if she doesn't feel the same, don't get worked up over it. I'm sure there are a lot of women that would love to date you..." Like me.
He shrugs, returning back to his work, "But they aren't her."
His statement steals your breath away. Lucky girl. You walk back to your desk, trying to orient yourself with your current project. Trying to forget him.
You tap your foot against the side of your desk anxiously and click your pen repeatedly. Who is she? Does she work here? Do I know her?
You feel something hit your foot, "Oye!"
Luis is in a heap on the floor, holding his knee like he'd been shot.
"Luis!" You gasp, "Are you okay?"
You crouch next to him, smoothing his hair and softly rubbing his shoulder.
"Ay Dios mio..." He huffs, "Is it broken? Am I in heaven?"
"Ugh, Luis, be serious!" You shimmy down to his ankle.
"I must be, since there is an angel here to take care of me. Eh?"
You roll his ankle lightly, testing the waters. He hisses in pain, making you stop early.
"Come on... let's go to the hospital. You're of no use to me here, now."
"Of no use?" His mouth gapes, "That hurts, princessa."
You take a wheelchair from the storage closet and unfold it, placing it in front of him.
"Alright, think you can stand? I'll help."
You do as you say, helping a pitiful Luis into the chair he definitely needed. Pushing him forward, you go towards the exit before realizing-
"Ugh, Luis!" You smack your forehead, "Stairs!"
He hesitates, "The old elevator still works... I think?"
"That's reassuring. Well, I guess that's where we'll go."
The path to the elevator was dim and not used in a long while. The expensive elevator was built strangely and required you to solve a puzzle with a special cube every time you used it, so it eventually became nothing more than a relic. The hallway smelt almost damp, cobwebs in every corner.
One of the lightbulbs flickered, "When was the last time maintenance came in here?"
"I don't know but if they did-" Luis shouts, springing up out of the chair, "Did you see that?"
He hugged your arms, "See wha- Luis?! You can walk?"
His eyebrows reach his hairline, the white of his eyes fully visible like a bunny running from a predator, "I- There was a spider, you see it right?"
You squeezed his arms, "Luis Serra Navarro if you don't tell me what's going on-"
Luis takes your hands, "Alright! Alright... I just enjoyed having the girl I like take care of me, yeah? I know I was being dramatic-"
"You think so?" You soften, "Wait, what did you say?"
He looks down, his usual cocky persona quickly dissolved, "You know when you asked me why I was single?"
"And I said the girl wasn't taking any of my... hints?"
You furrow your brows, "Uh-huh?"
He sighs, "¡Estoy enamorada de un idiota!"
"I love you!" He looks almost surprised that he said it, then doubles down, "You're the girl that won't take a hint. So please tell me, muñeca, will this ruin everything?"
You're stunned, but understand the urgent need to respond, "Er- Yes!"
Luis' hands go limp, crestfallen, "I see. I... apologize."
"Wait, no!" You grab his hands, "I mean, yes, I like you!"
As though he were inflated, he takes a deep and relieved breath, "Silly, silly girl."
"Me?" You laugh, "You're the one who faked a broken foot!"
He pulls you into a hug, "Ay... but you were the one to take care of me, no?"
You lean into him, "That's true."
He looks down at you, smiling, "Do I get a kiss to make it better?"
You roll your eyes, "Maybe if you send me your notes on sample 3."
"Hey!" He watches you walk back to the lab.
"And dinner, too!" You put your hands on your hips, "You have a lot to make up for after this little stunt."
"Dinner?" He smiles, knowing he won, "I'll be at your house at 7."
Hiii i know this took forever but I hope you like it! Just a cute lil thang
