Playing Dangerous (Smoker x Reader)

This is originally from my Wattpad but that's pretty dead so here we go! (more parts coming in the future)

(Modern au also Smokers name in this will be Smoker[first] White[middle] Chase[last])

I sit outside in my nightgown holding a rescue blanket in my lap as I stare to the side where my house still manages to stand. The light from my house has attracted almost anyone in the neighborhood with all of them talking about if everyone's safe and all that. I see firemen all around trying to put the fire out and around 4 or 5 police cars with one or two ambulances and a firetruck just sitting there while firefighters make sure there's no one left in my home. "Ma'am? Can you come with me please?" I look up, startled by the deep voice, and when I do my face is immediately dusted with a light blush that can't be seen in the lighting of the fire. I stand up slowly, letting go of the rescue blanket as I nod and begin to follow this police officer. I notice he has slicked back yet messy white hair and a harsh look on his face. His muscles are insanely visible through his shirt which makes me wonder if his precinct even allows that or if he just doesn't care. When he stops walking I almost bump into him since it was so sudden. I look over and realize he's brought me to a police car. He starts asking me questions related to the fire and after a few he asks if I started the fire. I stare at him a bit shocked he could even ask me something like that but I gain my composure quickly. "No, I would never do a thing like that." I look down at the ground and when I do, I realize I'm still in my night gown which is a little burnt on the hem but not too bad. It's a nightgown cut to my mid thigh with a deep v cut neck and thin straps holding it all together. I blush a little bit and look back up at the officer seeing him right stuff down like he's been doing this whole time. I bring my hand up to my face and begin to bite my nail.

"Are you okay?" My e/c iris' meet his hazel ones as i stop biting my nail and stare for a moment before answering. "Well, I'm a little shaken, but I'm fine, thanks for asking." I cross my arms shaking from the cold. "I wish I hadn't gotten rid of the rescue blanket though." I chuckle lightly as I continue to shake. He seems to be thinking for a moment before speaking. "I could go back and get it... though they've probably already taken it if you're not there anymore." He stares at me with his tough look and I swear for a second i saw him look me up and down. "Would you like to sit in my car?" He seemed fine with asking that, if anything, like he would've told me to get in anyway but he demeanor seemed nervous. I stand shaking for a moment before nodding my head quickly. "Yeah, that would be nice." 

When he opens the door he holds out his hand and I stare for a moment, confused, before taking it as he gently leads me to the door before letting go. In the few seconds our hands were touching, I could feel how course and rough his hands felt compared to my smaller ones. If my house weren't currently on fire I'd totally be hitting on this guy but it's kinda hard to focus on that when you can feel the heat from 3 houses away. I stare at my burning house again and this time the firefighters are finally spraying hoses at it. I shift my gaze a bit and see the police officer standing by the car next to my legs with his arm resting on the roof of the car as he also stares at my house. "What are your plans for shelter?" He turns his head towards me as I think. "Well I didn't really expect my house to burn down so I don't have a plan yet. Or a phone, dammit." I finally realize I left my phone in the house so now I have no way to call someone. 

"Here." I look up to see him handing me his phone ready to dial a number. "Thank you," I mumble out as I take the phone from his hand and think of who to call in this situation. Soon I start dialing a number and when I call I pray the other person is awake. I wait and wait and wait awkwardly as I wait for someone to answer the phone until on the last ring I hear someone pick up. "Um hi mom," I'm a little annoyed she took so long to answer but it's probably not her fault.

"Oh hi sweetie! I was just getting ready to go to bed. What's up?" I nod my head as she talks and feel a little bad I called her right as she was getting ready to sleep."

"I'm sorry mom, but I'm calling because my house like kind of burned down..." I look down at my hand on my lap as I speak.

"Oh my God! Are you okay? What happened?"

"Ye- Yes mom, I'm fine, I got out in time and so did Poseidon, I'm just not sure where he is..."

"I'm not worried about your cat honey. Do you need me to come get you?" For some reason I start to choke up as my eyes become glossy and I continue to stare down.

"Please come get me mom, I don't have anywhere to stay," I choke out as tears begin to fall down my face and I cover my face with the back of my hand.

"Okay sweetie I'm heading out the door right now, I'll be there soon!" I nod and hang up and hand the officer his phone back as I continue to look down and cry quietly. He takes his phone while staying quiet.

All I can think about after that phone call is how my home is really gone. I'd lived in that house for a few years and it was the first house I paid for all on my own. I raised and fostered cats in that house and I had my own which I don't even know where he is right now. Photos of cherished memories and all my furniture and all my decorations gone. I hope somethings still salvageable by the time I come back. I sit there and wipe my face as I stand up abruptly, startling the officer. I stare at him for a moment before looking down at his badge and then back up at his face. "My mom will be here to pick me up soon so I'm going to look for my cat before she gets here. Thank you for everything officer..." I cut myself off realizing I never learned his name so I wait for him to finish my sentence with it. "Officer Chase." I smile up at him before nodding and getting a nod back before walking off to God knows where. I just started calling for my cat hoping he'd come back to me eventually. "Poseidon..." I called out one last time before I stopped walking and just stood there. I began to tear up thinking I may not find my cat tonight or maybe even ever again. I turned around and saw a small light from far off. "Tch, they still haven't put out the fire..." I turned back around and when I did I covered my eyes by the bright car lights passing by before the car halted. Mom. She always had her brights on no matter how many times I told her to turn them off. 

She ran out of the car and up to me on the sidewalk and she grabbed my hands before I could even say anything. "Y/N are you okay? You sure you're not hurt?" She's always so worried about me and I grew up to appreciate her concern unlike when I was young. I nodded my head and took my hands out of hers and wrapped my arms around her, embracing her in a tight yet comforting hug. I let a few tears fall as I hugged her and she wrapped her arms around me just as quick. We stood there for a moment before a car honked behind my moms and we realized we should get in so we don't cause traffic in a neighborhood. We waved at the other car, apologizing before quickly getting in and driving off. 

"Thank you for picking me up mom," my voice was quiet, barely above a whisper as I started out the window. She placed one of her hands on mine and squeezed it lightly before speaking. "Anytime sweetheart. I'm so sorry this happened to you." 

"It's not your fault. I just wanna lay down and sleep." I sighed out and leaned my head on the window as she took her hand off of mine after giving it another squeeze and said 'I know' and turned the radio on. 

I continued to stare out the window almost dozing off while thinking about my house, my cat, and for some odd reason, the officer I met that day. I couldn't seem to shake him from my mind for too long. 

Officer Chase...

The Runner Up (My Inner Demons)

This is originally from my Wattpad but since that's basically dead I'm uploading the story and future chapters here. Hopefully this fandom's not as dead as I think it is 🫠

f/f = favorite flavor

The noise of busy chatter could be heard all throughout the city with cars honking and the peoples chatter. I was walking quickly with a f/f bagel in one hand and my phone in the other pressed against my ear as I argued with my dad. "Dad I'm just saying! I think you should definitely let me help you campaign more! Ugh, I'm not gonna make you look like a fool." I took a bite out of my bagel as I listened to him continue to try and keep me out of his campaign. "Yeah. uh huh. Sure dad." I sighed as I stopped at the cross walk and squeezed my phone between my ear and shoulder as I pressed the pedestrian push-button before grabbing my phone again and rolling my eyes at my dad as I walked once the light said I could go. "Alright dad I've gotta go. I'm almost home and need to make sure Ava's up for her interview. Alright, kisses, bu-bye!" Once I hang up the phone I take one last bite of my bagel before putting my phone in my purse. I look over and see my apartment building and walk in quickly passing by the greeting desk with a "good morning," before heading towards the elevator. I press the up button and wait silently for it to open and when it does I watch as a mother and her daughter walk out as I smile at them. I sit in the elevator after clicking my floor number and rummaging through my purse, searching for my apartment keys. Once I find them, the doors open and I walk out and head for the end of the hallway to the apartment opposite of mine. I pull out my keys and instead of pulling out my key, I pull the spare of my friend Ava's and push it through the lock before turning it and heading into her apartment.

"Ava! Are you up yet?" I call out as I place my purse on the stand near her front door as I walk further into her apartment. Feeling something against my legs I look down quickly and see it's just Johnny. "Hi Johnny. Have you eaten yet?" I ask as I caress his back a few times and look over at his empty food bowls. "Ava!" Once I call out the second time her bedroom door opens and she walks out still in her pajamas and on the phone. 'Is this girl serious right now?' Is all I could think. She has an interview in less than half an hour and she's not even ready. Right as I get ready to speak up, she puts up a finger telling me to hold on as she continues to talk. I place my hand on my hip as I scoff and roll my eyes before walking to her couch and sitting down with my arms crossed. I wait until I hear her say, "I'm hanging up now, byeee," before I look at her over the couch and speak. "You're a real piece of work, Ava." She rolls her eyes at me and groans.

"It's too early to deal with life," She groans out and slumps as I get up from the couch and grab Johnny's bowl. "Yeah well you should at least deal with your cat." I wave the food bowl in front of her as she stares at it before her eyes light up like she has a great idea. "Give me a second!" She runs over to the fridge before grabbing a pizza box and bringing over a slice of pizza and placing it in Johnny's bowl. I stare at her in disbelief before throwing my hands up and leaning against the couch. "You never seize to amaze me." She smiles as if it was a compliment and I sigh before looking at a clock on her wall. "Oh yeah, you have an interview soon, genius." 

"Huh?" She looks at her phone with wide eyes before throwing it on the couch and running to her room while yelling profanities. I sigh as I sit on the couch again and grab my phone from my skirt pocket and start scrolling through the news and seeing my dads rival all over while he's only there every once in a while. 

Ava rushes out of her room, finally dressed, and begins talking asking where her things are. "My phone?" I hold up her phone and she quickly takes it. 

"Wallet?" "By my purse at the door." 

"Um I think that's it! Okay bye Johnny be good and just try the pizza, it's good for you! And bye Y/n, thank you!" Before I could say anything more she rushes for the door and opens it but I don't hear her close it. I turn my head towards the door and heard she was talking to someone. I listened a bit closely and realized she was talking to Jake. I didn't like him too much. I had no reason to hate him I just thought he was a little weird. "She thinks it's creepy when you come to her door and no one else's to collect rent, dingus," I mumbled under my breathe as I heard them talking about it. A few minutes later I hear the door shut before not even two minutes later it opens again. And Ava rushes back inside. "You forget something?" "Trash!" She called out before grabbing the garbage and running back out and slamming the door behind her.

"Shit! She forgot her keys!" It's not too late to catch her so I rush to the door, grabbing her keys along with my purse and run out the door making sure to lock it behind me. 

Once I get downstairs I run out the door and head to the back alleyway where the garbage is. I pause once I realize Ava is talking to someone. Or more so multiple people and it doesn't sound much like talking as it does arguing. I reach into my purse and grab the pepper spray I always have on me. I hold my purse to my side tightly as I slowly and as quietly as possible sneak around the corner to immediately be confused by what I see. I see 5 men in weird, mythical looking clothing and they all have different colored horns and one of them, the biggest, holding Ava with a sword in her hand as some other guy yells, "Peaceful evasive maneuvers!" until he puts the sword back in its sheath and places her on a tree. I can't help but stifle a laugh at the sight. I walk a bit closer, behind a guy with white hair as I sweep my leg into the back of his knees causing him to fall and yelp, grabbing the attention of everyone there. I point the pepper spray down at him as he looks up at me with a confused look. "What is that?" I look over at a orange haired guy who was pointing and looked frightened by what I was holding. 'Have they seriously never seen pepper spray?' I'm a little caught off guard by him that I don't realize the man once under me is now behind me until he wraps his arm around my waist tightly and holds a curved knife right against my throat. I see two of the guys freak out a bit while the one with dark blue horns and some other guy with white horns yell at the one behind me. I sigh in disbelief that I'm actually about to do this.

Is he that dangerous? I mean he does have a knife to my throat and these guys do have real weapons, so I guess so. I quickly cover my eyes and hold my breath as I raise the hand with the pepper spray to face his face and spray causing him to drop me as he starts yelling and rubbing his eyes. I quickly get back up and cough a few times and rub my eyes before I look down at him and then back over at the others. "Get her down, now." They look frightened, threatened, and angered but they whisper among themselves before the one with white horns points his hand at the tree Ava's on before it suddenly bursts into flames. She falls and I look at the tree with my jaw dropped.

"Did... You just..." Ava mutters out before turning around towards the man while the dark blue horned one yelled at him. "Prince Asch! Do not use your magic on such trivial matters!"

'Magic?' These guys can't be human. No human I've ever met can do something like that. I continue to stare in awe as this 'Prince Asch' guy started talking. "The next words that come out of your mouth better be-" he was suddenly cut off by Ava grabbing one of his horns and pulling. Suddenly all the guys there gasped and I couldn't help but feel like she had just done something risky. "How indecent!" "In public?!" I look at each one as they yell in fright and the biggest guy covers the orange haired ones eyes. "Hey!" The white horned one suddenly stands up straight, Ava releasing her grip on his horns, and she mutters out, "They're real... heh..." He angrily spits out, "How dare you!" As his response. "I knew I should've slept in today..." She begins to chuckle before suddenly falling over and passing out. "Oh my god!" I cover my mouth before rushing over to Ava and getting on my knees beside her. "You... Killed it."

"No... N-No I didn't!" The prince Asch guy sputters out at the accusation while I sign. "You idiots, she's not dead. Just unconscious." I stare up at them as the dark horned one begins to think. "This is your guys fault, y'know, so..." I bite my nail thinking if I really want these guys coming into our apartment building, much less into one of our apartments. I sigh knowing I won't be able to carry her by myself. "So you're carrying her to her apartment." One of them questions what the hell is an apartment but I don't answer. "We should establish a base of operations when we get there." The dark blue horned guy says to Prince Asch. I groan as I begin to lift Ava up and struggle. "Hello? I said you'd be carrying her so... Wanna come help maybe??" I glare at them, but especially the biggest guy, indicating for him to come lift her. He does just that and comes over and lifts her and places her over his shoulder like a bag of firewood. I stare for a second in shock before collecting myself. I grab my purse from by the tree and wave for them to follow behind me as I begin leading them to Ava's apartment.

'God I hope this doesn't last long...'
