Fmc! Reader x Duskwood Jake

MC: *staring down at her phone with a frown*

Jake: What's wrong?

MC: This guy Eric wants me to help find his lunatic friend Adam.

Jake: Typical Wednesday. Are you gonna do it?

MC: Remember how I called our investigation 'exciting' the first time we talked?

Jake: Ah yes, the moment I fell for you.

MC: Aww but it's not so much 'exciting' when they want me to pay money for some AI to be my profile picture

Jake: What?

MC: Yes.

Jake: Want me to hack it for you?

He would shower extra long, shave extra soft, and put on fresh clothes. And since MC mentioned, that she imagined him wearing his hoodie if they meet, of course he'd choose this one. He'd clean the place he was currently hiding in and make sure MC would feel comfortable and welcomed.

He'd ask MC for her favorite snacks and movies to make sure she would enjoy their time to the fullest. As he is a smart guy who calculates every possible option, he'd make sure that absolutely everything would be perfect and would leave no chance for failure. Jake doesn't really cook a lot, as he's always on the run. For a cozy dinner at home, they'd eat some instant noodles and sodas :)

He'd try hard to hold back and not come off too strong. He'd wait for MC to make the first physical moves and give signals, as he wouldn't want to do anything wrong. But once he saw how open and excited MC was about everything, he wouldn't hold back.

It would be a very sweet first stay-at-home date, and both MC and Jake would enjoy it to the fullest.

Also, MC having to hide their identity would've created some good parallels between them and Jake, where they now find themself in his shoes, see how things were like for him back then, and that brings up some difficult feelings for them.

Duskwood/Moonvale fanfiction

Even though mv had many disappointing factors I did like the story (especially the dw sidestory ending😅) and wanted to write my own version of how it could continue. This is probably not super realistic, just an idea I had. Also I never shared a fanfiction on here, so I wanna apologize in advance if it is not that great. 

SPOILERS FOR MOONVALE EPISODE 1

//gender-neutral MC 

„MC. I will find you“, flashed the message on the screen. MC could do nothing but stare at the screen in silent shock, every thought wiped from their brain. They watched the font glitch slightly and then disappear. Could it really be…? Was he really still alive? They had slowly lost hope that the possibility could still be real. Sure, they told Ash earlier that they still held out hope, but that was maybe more to convince themselves. But now, seeing this message…it must mean he was still alive, because what else could it mean? They felt tears welling up in their eyes, if because of relief or shock they could not tell. However they knew, this meant they still had to wait to find out more. And right about now, it seemed that wait might actually kill them. 

—-1 week later—-

They were just about to make themselves some coffee when their phone vibrated, signaling they received a new message. This could be anything, they reminded themselves to keep them from running to the phone. Maybe it’s not Jake. Maybe it’s the group. Maybe…but their thoughts stopped when they grabbed their phone to see a slightly glitching screen telling them they had a new message. With shaking fingers they pressed accept. A font flashed on their screen. Coordinates. A date. A time. They rushed to note it down and finished shortly before it vanished again and an all too familiar picture of a mask popped up. „I look forward to meeting you“, the screen now red. Then it glitched and went black again. Jake. Meeting Jake. Was all they could think, their heart beating so loud and fast they thought it might jump out of their chest. Then they had to sit down before their legs gave out on them. 

—- A few days later —-

They exited the train that had brought them to a small city, about one hour away from where they lived. They checked the maps application on their phone to see how far they still had to walk towards the location they received. Just a few hundred meters. They took a deep breath. Just a few hundred meters before they could see him. Then they started walking towards the location, trying to stop their circling thoughts. Thoughts circling around him. And between all those thoughts a tiny little voice that told them this could be a trap. They didn’t know for sure it was him who sent this message. It could have been everyone. But that was more than unlikely, they told that voice to hush it. It was bright day. What kind of trap would that be. Still the voice started to get louder as the forest at the edge of the city came closer. They took another deep breath. Almost there. Warily they looked around while walking. And then they saw it. A dark figure standing in a small street, leaning against the wall of a house. A dark hood and black hair. A dark mask covering the lower part of his face. MC stopped as their heart skipped a beat and their world stopped spinning. Then they noticed that he had started looking at them and took a step away from the wall he had leaned against. And then everything set into motion and they could just barely keep themselves from shouting out his name before running towards him. They embraced him as soon as they reached him and pressed their face into his hoodie. It took only a second before he in turn wrapped his arms around them. “MC”, he said quietly: “You came.”

They looked up at him, saw the glimmer in his eyes. They were dark and full of emotion. 

“Jake.”, they whispered, not able to say anything more for the moment. They saw tears building up in his eyes. 

“You kept your promise.”, they said, not able to keep the astonishment in their voice hidden. 

“I kept my promise.”, he assured them: “I did not get caught. And I found you.”

They felt tears in their eyes and hid their face in his dark hoodie again. 

“You should know, MC, that there is a reason I picked this town to meet you. Apart from the conditions needed to ensure us as much security as possible of course.”, he said and she could hear faint amusement in his voice. 

“What is it?”, they mumbled in return.
