pairing: knox overstreet x fem!reader
summary: you and knox are not allowed to be together, but can’t bare to be apart
warnings: none i think
"you're too loud!" you scolded, when knox tried to whisper something which was clearly spoken loud enough to echo off the walls and make it's way right into the headmasters chambers in the entryway of the school.
"it's fine" knox shrugged, opening another door that you had to walk through before you would be able to climb the stairs to his room.
the door squieked loudly, making your eyes widen as you looked back at knox, who seemed to be alarmed now too.
footsteps echoed off the stone walls from he corner in front of you and you exchanged panicked gazes, but it was already too late for you to do something as a grey-haired man turned the corner and looked up from him lamp in surprise.
"mr. overstreet!" he gasped, his eyes widening as he took in the sight of you and knox. his surprise quickly turned to disapproval. "and you! what are you two doing here at this hour?"
neither you or knox knew what to answer. whatever you would say would probably only worsen the situation, as there was no plausible explanation for what you were doing in the halls of a foreign school in the middle of the night. well, apart from the obvious one, of course.
"we will have to call your parents, young lady" the man furrowed his brows, making a gesture for knox and you to follow him.
"please don't, dr. hager" knox tried to plead, but his words fell on deaf ears.
"someone is gonna have to pick her up, mr overstreet" dr. hager shook his head, as if he was seriously regret that he had to drag your parents into this mess. "she's not a student here and we can't send her out alone in the dead of night"
"my parents can't know of this" you tried, exchanging glances with knox. your parents were just as strict as the rules of welton, if not stricter, forbidding you from any contact with boys.
"i'm sorry, children" dr. hager said without so much of a hint of sadness in his voice. "this is the only way"
you sank your head, accepting your fate and sinking down in the chair in front of dr. hager's desk, knox following suit.
"what's the number?"
you sighed, before you told him the number to the telephone in your house, imagining how your parents would dash out of bed, taking the call.
dr. hager would tell your father you were sitting here in his office and your father would send your mother to go look if your bed really was empty, as if it was normal for teachers to call and lie to him in the middle of night.
it took about twenty minutes for your parents to arrive. your mother had even taking out her rollers, the look of disdain all the more evident as her hair was standing up in volumes, the curls circling around her face.
your father did not look less angry, quite the opposite actually. he had to be physically stopped from screaming when he entered the office, as not to wake the entire school.
"i'm sorry" dr. hager excused, as your parents thanked him for informing them.
"me too" knox stumbled up from his chair, before the door was able to close behind you and your parents. all three of you turned around in surprise.
"knox!" you scolded in a whisper, pleading for him not to make the situation any worse than it already was.
knox ignored you. "i shouldn't have brought her here, and definitely not this late anyway."
"damn right you shouldn't" your father burhsed past you, holding a finger in front of knox' face. "and don't you ever think about contacting my daughter again"
"father" you pleaded.
“no, y/n” your father shook his head, unwavering anger on his face. “come on, now”
you hadn’t spoken to knox since the incident. the punishment had been swift and unforgiving. your parents were furious, forbidding you from seeing Knox again. they had imposed strict curfews and even threatened to move you to a different school, one far away from the one you were visiting.
knox didn’t have it any better. his parents had been informed too, promptly visiting the school and scolding him, how he could’ve dared to break the rules.
there was no possibility to see each other again, but knox wasn’t one to give up so easily.
one evening, just after curfew, you were lying on your bed when you heard a gentle tapping at your window. you sat up, confused. there it was again—a soft knock. you moved toward the window and pushed back the curtains.
there, standing on the tree just outside your window, was knox.
“knox!” you whispered, shocked. “what are you doing here?”
knox grinned, balancing precariously on a thick tree branch just outside your window. his eyes were full of that same mischievous spark that had first drawn you to him, but now it was paired with an urgency you hadn’t seen before.
“i missed you,” he whispered, his voice barely audible, but the intensity behind it was unmistakable.
your heart skipped a beat, torn between excitement and fear. “you’re crazy! if my parents find out you’re here, they’ll lock me up for good.”
“i’ll climb the walls every night if i have to,” he responded, his voice soft but determined. “i can’t stand not seeing you.”
you sighed, pushing open the window a little wider. “get in before someone sees.”
knox didn’t hesitate. with surprising strength, he swung himself through the window, landing quietly on the wooden floor of your room. you quickly closed the window behind him and turned, feeling the weight of your current situation. your curfew, your parents’ anger, the fact that you weren’t supposed to be seeing him—all of it loomed over you like a storm cloud.
“you shouldn’t be here,” you said, even though deep down, you were relieved to see him. “if my dad finds out…”
knox moved closer, his expression softening as he placed his hands gently on your shoulders. “i know. i’m sorry for getting you into this mess. i didn’t think we’d get caught that night at helton.”
you looked down, feeling the weight of everything that had happened since that night—your parents’ fury, the strict curfew, the constant watchful eye over you. but seeing knox here, risking so much just to be near you, made your heart ache in a different way.
“i couldn’t bear it,” he continued, his voice hushed but filled with emotion. “being away from you. it’s driving me insane.”
“i know,” you whispered, finally meeting his gaze. the tension melted a little as you looked into his familiar, earnest eyes. despite everything, he was here, standing in your room, just as desperate to be near you as you were to see him.
“what if we get caught again?” you asked, but there was no real fear in your voice now. just a quiet acceptance that this—whatever it was between you and knox—was worth it.
knox took a deep breath, his hands sliding down to take yours. “then we get caught,” he said simply. “i don’t care what happens, as long as i can be with you.”
your heart swelled at his words. you both knew the risks, the consequences, but in this moment, it didn’t seem to matter.
knox leaned in closer, his forehead resting against yours. “we’ll figure it out,” he murmured, his breath warm against your skin. “we’ll find a way.”
you closed your eyes, letting the comfort of his presence wash over you. for now, at least, he was here, and that was enough. even if the world outside was determined to keep you apart, in this moment, it was just you and knox, standing together in the stillness of the night.
