The Assassin's Partner (Jacob Frye x Reader)

Chapter 3-Heads or Tails

You had no other choice but to ask Jacob for his help. Henry decided to invite you to their train and meet Evie and possibly see Jacob. You walk with Jayadeep to Whitechapel Train Station where it was always filled with busy merchants and rich people whom you always disgusted by their views on society.

"Ah, there it is." Jaya says, pointing towards a dark grey train. It was pretty crowded in the train station. There were all sorts of people there. Men, women, and children of all sorts and sizes.

As you walked towards the train, you felt a small push, push you from behind. You stumble a bit forwards and turn around only to find a small child behind you who stumbled onto you.

"Sorry miss!" You see the little boy, all covered in dirt and looked poor and hungry. You felt bad for the little one, so you place a warm smile on you and decided to give him a few pounds. Your smile quickly turned to shock and anger once you realized the boy pick-pocketed and stole your pouch. The boy saw your face and quickly ran.

"OI! COME BACK HERE, YOU SLIMY THEIF!" You yell as you run after him. You run all throughout the train station and finally he runs throughout the many alley ways of London. Stepping through mud and gunk, you run after the little boy. It actually felt kind of nice to be running, your body ached for adventure and even if the little scum stole your money, you enjoyed chasing after him.

Just as you were so close to catching, someone gets in your way and you smash your self into them. You fell on top of them, leaving you dizzy for a second until you regain your vision. Your legs were around their stomach  and they had their hands around your waist. Once your vision regains, your head starts throbbing immediately as you see the sunlight peep through your hood. Mud and debris was covered all over you and you tried to wipe it off but your hands shot up to hold onto your head. You look down to see someone doing the same. It was a man you fell onto. You could tell because of his broad shoulders and his large hands that were placed upon your little frame.

"Oh my, ughh, I am soo, ugh, sorry sir." He grunted, trying to sit up but decided it's best if he were to stay laying down.

"(Y/N)!!!" You hear your name being shouted by Henry who, you guessed, chased after you.

"Ugh, you need to watch where you're Miss-Miss (L/N)!? What in the bloody hell!! First you bloody punch me, then you ram into me?!" The man said. You look down once more and you find you were on top Jacob Frye.

Henry hurried to the both of you and you rolled off Jacob, leaving you both to groan in pain whilst laying in mud and gunk. Henry offers you a hand,"Here, you need to put something cold on that head of yours or it'll swe-"

"Not so loud, Greenie! You're making my head bloody hurt!" Jacob said loudly while holding his head. Greenie?You finally take Henry's hand and regain your balance whilst holding your hand out.

"Well, Jacob Frye, pardon my 'clumsiness', I was chasing after a little brat who stole my coins." You pant, offering a hand to Jacob but he refuses. As he gets up, you stare at him holding the the side of his head. You must've smacked your forehead on the side of his head and you could tell you had a massive bruise on the middle of your head.

"Ha, you too?" He said, feeling a little dizzy,"When I first came to London, some little brat stole my pouch. Ha, coincidence, ugh, I think not." He winced as when removed his hand from his head, there was a little blood. You decided to check your forehead and there was a big o' lump and some blood.

"You both need to be bandaged, let's get back to the train." Henry speaks up from all the groaning you two were emitting.

You both obeyed and walked like drunk children back to the train. Not caring at all, you hold onto Jacob's arm and he didn't seem to care either. You both lazily walk towards the train, bumping into people and stumbling throughout the way.

Once you enter the train, you felt someone sweep you off your feet. You began to squirm and not care if you would've fell. You were shocked to see who it was, it was Jacob,"You're going to need to rest, love. That bruise is going to be there for a while." By then, you were too dizzy to squirm anymore. You wrapped your arms around his neck and lay your head on his chest.

You heard his heart beat beating rapidly due to the adrenaline of what just happened. It made your heart skip a few beats. You felt a weird feeling swirl all around in your stomach and it didn't feel right to you but you simply ignored it.

Jacob set you down on a bed and you could tell someone slept here since you felt the covers all messy and fluffy.

"You're being nice to me? After I punched you in the bloody face?" You stared at him as he flopped his body onto a couch as he behind to reply.

He laughed like a little boy,"Well, I have to admit, I was being a real-"

"Prick? Affirmative." You cut him off, finishing his sentence as you sit right up.

He chuckles and sighs,"Well I hope my punishments are over because you and I are going to wake up later with a throbbing head and annoying headache."

You gently lay back down and then, there was a knock on the door. The door slowly swings open and Henry was holding two pieces of frozen meat. He hands Jacob one and he puts it on the side of his head. He placed his top hat on top of the meat and soon fell asleep, hearing him quietly snore away.

Henry walked towards you and gave you the meat,"Here, Bahan, you need this."

You placed the meat on your forehead but you quickly got up,"But the Piece of Eden! I need to get the information for you and Evie!" You shout making your head hurt a little.

"That can wait for tomorrow, (Y/N). I'll tell your father you'll be staying here for the afternoon." He coos, gently laying your head down on the pillow.

"Do you bloody mind, I'm trying to sleep.." Jacob mumbled. Henry smiled and laughed quietly. You nodded a smile and quickly fell into a deep sleep, with the frozen meat on your forehead. In your dreams and thoughts, you began to wonder, What on earth was that feeling in my stomach when I heard Jacob's heartbeat? I've never felt that before...
