Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children Masterlist
I sat in the garden, reading as the sun hit the pages, the words forming pictures in my mind.
a weight pressed against my shoulder, black hair falling within my eyesight.
“hi Enoch” I murmured as I shuffled forwards slightly, leaving room between the tree I had been resting against and myself.
“hi (y/n)” he muttered, sliding behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist as his head rested on my shoulder.
“you okay?” I asked and he sighed.
“new kid asks to many questions” he huffed and I giggled.
“how old is this one?” I questioned, turning my head as I peeled my eyes away from my book, looking at him.
“sixteen? it’s his first loop. he’s Abe’s grandson” Enoch muttered, pulling me closer to him, pressing a kiss against the corner of my lips as I laughed.
the sound of footsteps and talking brought us out of our little bliss.
“and this is (y/n)” Emma brought the new peculiar closer and I raised an eyebrow. he looked almost exactly like Abe, except with none of Abe’s confidence and charisma. he looked almost awkward and out of place.
the other peculiars will fix that in no time.
“hello Emma, who is this?” I asked, tilting my head as I dropped my book into my lap, not bothering to stand up.
“(y/n) this is Jacob, Abe’s grandson” she introduced us and I smiled, holding my hand out for him to shake.
“so I’ve heard. Enoch came and found me.” I felt Enoch lift his chin off my shoulder, probably to glare at Jacob.
“hi Enoch” Emma gave no reaction as Jacob looked both startled and scared.
“have you met everyone else yet?” I asked and he nodded.
“I think so, everyone except Victor i think. where is he?” he asked and I tried not to show my surprise.
they haven’t told him yet I suppose.
oh well. not my place to tell I guess.
“inside last I saw him” I answered and Emma flashed me a thankful look.
“we should head back inside, otherwise Millard and Hugh will ask you to play ball with them” Emma said, pulling Jacob along as I waved.
“goodbye” I waved and picked my book up.
it wasn’t until the sun had gone down and Enoch was trying to get my attention again, that I realized it was time tea.
“give the new kid a scare?” I asked, a cheeky grin on my face as I stood up, grabbing his hand to help pull him up.
“god I love you” he answered,smirking at me as he entwined our fingers, watching as I shut my eyes and jumped.
“they won’t be in until the very last minute” Millard explained, just as I jumped in.
“he’s correct of course.” I smirked, trying not to laugh as Jacob jumped.
“how did you do that?” he asked and Enoch chuckled, already used to the sudden movement that came with my peculiarity.
“her peculiarity.” he smirked, leading me to the seats ready for dinner.
“grandpa never told me your peculiarity” Jacob frowned and I raised an eyebrow.
“really? he used to jump with me, used to scare Emma with it.” I shrugged as she chuckled.
“he stopped after I did it to him though. remember how he jumped?” Emma laughed and I smiled.
“my peculiarity is very practical” I hummed, taking a seat next to Enoch, opposite Emma.
“I think your grandfather took a photo of me mid jump actually. not sure if he kept it or not.” I commented and Jacob nodded.
“He did. he was proud of it.” he answered and I smiled.
“he tried several times to try and catch a photo. he always missed by a few seconds. until that one day. he got Claire to Olive to distract me so he could quickly set it up so he could take a photo.” I giggled with Olive as we remembered the day.
“why did he go through all that effort?” Jacob asked and Enoch scoffed.
“it was a small bet we had going on. if he could take a photo of me mid jump then I would confess to Enoch. if he couldn’t do it by the end of the two months then he’d confess to Emma. he took the photo on the very last day of the bet.” I explained before miss Peregrine came into the room for dinner.
dinner was a quick affair, Enoch and I leaving to go up to his room.
he sat at his work bench, creating more creatures as I sat on his bed, reading.
we sat separately for a while, engrossed in our separate hobbies until a small creature came over to me, climbing into my lap and kept moving until I put my book down and picked it up.
it sat in my hands calmly as I looked up at my lover, sharing a smile as he stood up, walking over to me before he sat on the bed.
he kept shifting until he pulled me into his lap, arms wrapped around my waist and resting his head on my shoulder, pressing delicate kisses against my neck.
“you alright love?” i asked quietly, turning to look at Enoch as he stopped.
“nothing. just glad you stayed” he murmured before pressing a kiss against my lips, raising one hand from my waist to cup my cheek.
I slowly lowered my hands which held the creature until he climbed off my hands and onto the bed, one of my hands gently grabbing onto his sweater, pulling him closer as I closed my eyes, kissing back.
he pulled away with a small smirk as I giggled, opening my eyes.
“read to me?” he asked and I nodded, picking up my book and shuffled down the bed slightly until my head laid on his lap, his fingers running through my hair as I began to read again.
and when miss Peregrine came in to check on us that’s how she found us, Enoch smiling at me, running his fingers through my hair as I laid my head in his lap, reading softly.
