Your eyes slowly fluttered open, a pained groan involuntarily leaving your lips. Where were you? Lifting your head from where it had lolled over onto your shoulders, you scanned the musty, dimly lit room with blurred vision. The floor was simple concrete, cold and menacing. The walls seemed to be made of tin, the paint chipping away and revealing an ugly green. Were you in some kind of warehouse? Your thoughts were scattered and fuzzy, the back of your head pounding as you groaned again. As you reached up to identify your apparent wounds, you were stopped by thick twine. It chaffed the (s/c) skin of your wrists as you tried to move. You were tied to the chair you sat in. Great. Just great. Your vision cleared slightly despite the dull pain that had managed to course throughout your entire body. A single light shone brightly above you, a thick metal door on the opposite side of the room. Why were you in a warehouse and who put you there? Nothing seemed to make sense as you tried to find the knot that held you stationary. If you could just get out of your binds, you could find a way out of the godforsaken place. However, before your fingers met the strayed strings of the rope, the door opposite of you slammed open. You winced as the heavy metal frame banged against the tin wall. The sound sent a wave of pain through your head, the bright light not helping. You heard the distinct sound of a body hitting the concrete below before the door slammed yet again, sealing you in once more. As your gaze focused, you noticed tanned skin and blonde hair.

“Hey! Hey, you!”

The stranger made no movement, still as the stone beneath him. It was just your luck that he would be unconscious, or worse. You swallowed roughly, ignoring the way your throat burned with every noise you made.

“Hey! Are you okay?”

You craned your neck to get a look at the apparent teen, but his position made it difficult to see his face. His silence was a pretty clear notion that he was out cold, though. You sighed, leaning your head back and shutting your eyes. You could only wait and hope this dude wasn’t there to rip out your throat.

*~~*

Your eyes shot open, (e/c) orbs revealed to the world as you heard a faint groan. You lifted your head, the joints in your neck popping at the sudden movement. The stranger that had been lying unmoving for what felt like centuries finally twitched. It was only slightly, but it was noticeable.

“Hey! Can you hear me?”

You sounded more desperate than you had liked to, although you really didn’t have anything to lose. The teen slowly moved to sit up, rubbing his temple as he looked at you over his shoulder. His expression was formed into one of confusion as his fingers swept through his blonde locks.

“Who’re you..?”

You could only watch him stand, almost jealous of his freedom to move. Your limbs had fallen asleep long ago, pins and needles pricking at your skin.

“I-I’m (y/n). Look, can you untie me? I’ve been like this for a little too long.”

The stranger actually chuckled faintly, a tiny smile pulling at your lips. He slowly walked behind you, his fingers brushing your skin as he worked out the knots. It was only when you felt the twine leave your flesh that you sighed in contentment. You rubbed your wrists, hissing in pain at how raw the rope had made them. Standing on shaky legs, the stranger helped keep you upright with an offered arm. You clung onto him, looking up to let your gaze clash with his. His eyes were an astonishing shade of blue, like the sky on a cloudless day.

“I didn’t catch your name.”

His lips quirked into a smile that almost made your knees weak all over again.

“Joe. Joe Hardy. Nice to meet you, (y/n).”

You returned his smile, feeling flustered for no apparent reason as you ran a (s/c) hand through your (h/c) locks.

“You too. Say, could we find a way out of here before we chat?”

He chuckled at you again, and it was like music to your ears. This guy was stunning, he really was.

“Sounds like a plan to me.”

You let go of his forearm, walking to the walls and carefully running your hands over the cold metal. Joe did the same, the two of you silent as you searched for an exit.

*~~*

You watched the blinking lights of the police cars illuminate the area. A thin blanket was draped along your shoulders as you slightly leaned on Joe. Your kidnapper had returned to toss another victim into his cage, and you made a quick and stupid decision to jump him. After a struggle and Joe practically saving your life, you grabbed the other victim and ran for a phone. The police arrived and arrested the man, giving you the medical attention you required. It was all a strange occurrence, really. Not one you exactly fancied. You looked up from where the officers were showing the criminal to the back of the police car as Joe looped an arm around your waist. He glanced at you with a smile, pulling you into his side.

“Thanks for the help, (y/n).”

You scoffed a bit, leaning your head on his shoulder as you shut your eyes. You had seen enough of the red and blue police lights for a lifetime.

“As if I did anything.”

You heard him chuckle as you both stood on the sidewalk. You pulled the blanket tighter around yourself as a wind ruffled your hair. Joe turned you both away from the scene and started walking.

“You know, I usually take girls out to coffee before we get kidnapped together.”

You couldn’t help but laugh as you watched your feet, your path lit by street lights.

“Wanna make it up to me now or later?”

You looked up to see Joe’s sly smile, his arm tight around you as you headed for the nearest diner.

“I think I’m free now.”
So, the wonderfully amazing Ashturtle made this request 2535374754 million years ago and it took me forever and he's probably OOC because I don't know his character and I'm the worst and //shot

I'm so sorry, babe! So so sorry. I'm the worst. I hope you like it. Just know I could have been working on a history project but this was more important.

I love you! :heart:
