Surprises
Hercules Mulligan x Reader
Note: Okay so I’m in a little bit of a funk and I’ve been trying to write fics to answer these requests and it’s just not happening in this mood of mine so I wrote this for myself to cheer myself up a little (yeah I know I’m lame) so I can work on these requests. I’m so sorry for keeping people waiting!
Prompt: 231. “May I have this dance?”
You hold your arms out in front of you to feel where you could possibly be. When your boyfriend Hercules first said, he had a surprise for you weren’t expecting this.
One of his large hands easily covers both of your eyes so you can’t get a peek at what’s happening while the other rests on your shoulder, directing you along so you don’t run into anything.
He takes his hand off your shoulder to push open a door and when you feel the rush of cool air hit you, you realize he’s brought you up to the roof of your apartment building.
“Herc why are we on the roof?” you ask him as he moves you further from the door.
“Shh, just wait, would you? Can I trust you to keep your eyes closed while I set up the last thing?” he asks you and you shake your head.
“Probably not” you answer truthfully and you feel his body shaking with laughter from behind you.
“I didn’t think so. Okay two steps to the left and then squat down with me” he tells you.
Both of you follow his instructions and he reaches over to turn on the small stereo he’d brought up earlier. Soft violin music fills your ears as he eases you to your feet again and finally moves his hand from your eyes.
What you see is nothing you ever expected from him. He’s hung fairy lights so they hang like a net above the both of you, a bunch of blankets and cushions are set up by the edge of the roof and a picnic blanket and basket are set up in the center.
“May I have this dance?” he asks with a smile holding his hand out to you. You grin up at him, shaking your head slightly as you take his hand.
He pulls you close to him, his other hand coming to sit on your waist and starts moving the two of you all around the roof in time to the music.
“What is all this for?” he presses a kiss to your forehead before you rest your cheek against his chest.
“You seemed down the other day, figured this would help you” he admits. You press a kiss to his chest and feel tears prickling behind your eyes.
“I love you Hercules” you whisper to him.
“I love you too Y/N. Come on, I don’t want the food to get cold” he says, pulling away from you and leading you to the picnic blanket.
As he unpacks the picnic basket you notice that he has cooked all your favorite foods, from your favorite meal to your favorite desert.
You look up at him and can’t help but think about how damn lucky you got with him. You can feel the giant goofy grin on your face but you don’t even care because in this moment you feel like the luckiest person in the world.
