Eyes to the Soul
(A/N: She's back again! And she's found a new love within the cast of Wednesday as well as the series! So hopefully this unlocks all the need for motivation that I've been lacking! So please feel free to send me your request because I'm dying to fill some!)
A/N ii: Gif is not mine, & I'll probably be going over and editing old work just to fix them up and make them look more cleaner, within the next few weeks!)
(Y/N) was cleaning tables at the Weathervane Cafe, mindlessly listening to the ballad from the radio, occasionally swaying to the melody. This was one of the many benefits about closing the Weathervane alone; now that the monstrous bear attacks had stopped she could finally have a sense of ease in working alone. She had collected all the mugs into one basket before returning to the kitchen to clean them off and prepare the bar for the next day. As she gave the bar and chairs a final once over, deeming that it was all prepped and ready for tomorrow she shut the lights and made her way out, locking the doors behind her. Stepping out into the cool breeze of Jericho, she clutched her to cover her mid region “Should we take the scenic route or the shortcut? She asked herself pondering her decision for a brief second before making her way into the forest “It has been a while ol’ scenic route.” She whispered to herself almost as if exchanging a secret with someone.
She slowly made her way through the forest getting lost between the branches and the moonlight, ever since the bear attacks had occurred she’d stopped working at night completely. Her parents were afraid it wasn’t an actual bear but the students of Nevermore killing people in town; however , she wasn’t a believer that a student would go out of their way to kill random people. As she continued walking through the forest she came across the usual shed, only this time it was covered in rose thorns and vines, and it was lit inside, two things that had definitely changed since she’d stopped walking out this way. She slowly approached the shed, not exactly sure of what she’d be walking into or what she’d find but she was always curious to see what was inside the shed. As she reached the doors of the shed she heard someone let out an exhausted sigh as well as something hit the floor of the shed.
She leaned against the shed door to see if she could hear anything else but what she didn’t expect was for the door of the shed to easily creek open causing her to practically follow the door in it's pursuit only to nearly hit the floor if it weren’t for her quick armed savior. “I wasn’t spying!” She decreed loudly, her eyes still closed from the initial shock of almost kissing the ground. “I believe you.” The voice said softly, curiosity taking over her as she cautiously opened her eyes to be met with wide green eyes that now demanded all her attention. “I didn’t-umm- I didn’t mean to interrupt whatever you were doing I just. The shed had been sealed shut for such a long time”. She explained to the green eyed beauty as he chuckled, “Yeah, I cleaned it up and made it my own private art studio.” He replied calmly as she briefly escaped his gaze to look to the side of him to see the canvas he was working, the charcoal stained the canvas, and all that bore the canvas were eyes.
She quickly scanned the surrounding pieces that hung along the clothesline, as well as the little pieces scattered on the backboard, with multiple different mediums. “Couldn’t finish?” She asked curiously as he sighed “The image changed at the last minute in my eyes.” He replied as she nodded “Do you mind?” She whispered as he quickly let her go bringing her to her feet “Well secret studio, I’m (Y/N).” She said, extending her hand as she smiled at him, he nearly flinched at her introduction, “Well creeper (Y/N), I’m Xavier.” He said clasping their hands together.
“Well Secret Studio Xavier, I should be leaving you to your masterpiece, the image will only continue to change the longer you wait.” She offered as he shook his head “It’ll show up again in my dreams, don’t worry about that Creeper (Y/N).” He joked as she chuckled, nodding “Well I should be on my way anyway, parents are probably gonna send out the dogs soon for me.” She replied sheepishly as he nodded “Stop by the Weathervane whenever you’re in town, I’d love to see how it turns out.” She gave her final sign off before she closed the shed doors behind her. Taking in a deep breath as she replayed his eyes in her mind, those green tranquil eyes and the smell of charcoal and paint, she knew she’d be seeing him again, and it was just a matter of when she’d see Xavier again.
