Giveaway drabbles #19 - male drider x reader (sfw) (Patreon)

Here's another cutie for you! Appropriate weather for those of us in the northern hemisphere too.

You had felt so shy about joining your local knitting group, and getting out your slightly wonky scarf had been simply mortifying, but nobody had laughed or given you a funny look, and in fact the minotaur beside you had even complimented your efforts.

The group’s leader was a skinny, graceful drider, with long silvery hair like silk, and he was patient and clear in instructing you in new patterns, but he never took over, allowing others their time to ask questions and to knit in the quiet peace of the room. 

Behind the steady ‘click-clack’ of needles, you came to love his gentle voice and the soft kindness of his suggestions for improvement, until you realised you were falling in love with him. 

At the end of Autumn you finally finished the cream and brown scarf in natural, undyed wool, and while the start might have been a bit wonky, the rest was pretty neat; you were very proud of it, and you knew exactly what you were going to do with it. 

After the group had finished one quiet evening in October, you hung back and shyly presented the scarf to the drider, who blushed furiously and beamed a smile at you as he asked, “It’s beautiful - are you sure you want to give it to me?”
