Benoit Blanc x Assistant!Reader ~ Reader Gets Hurt
GIF by: h-yuki
Warnings: Blood, Gun, Reader is shot
A/N: I'm still new to writing in third person but thought I'd give it a shot.
The one moment he stepped away from you. Benoit walked across the room to grab some evidence that sat on the table during his big rant about how the suspect was truly the killer.
"& if you look here, Tropper Wagner, this piece-"
A click makes Benoit freeze, he knew that click from the many times he'd been in proximity of cops & a dangerous suspect. It was the cocking of a gun. The fear was not as much for himself as it was for you, alone on the other side of the room, next to the killer.
"It would be best if you stopped talking, Mr. Blanc," Johnathan, the suspect, spoke with a smirk.
Benoit raised his hands above his head & turned to see the gun that rested in Johnathan's hand was pointed at him. A mental sigh went through his mind as he realized you were safe. Yeah, you were supposed to be just an assistant but he had already grown to have feelings for you.
"Now, Johnathan. I don't think you really want this, there's two officers behind me. You can't kill all three of us before one of them kills you."
You eyed the gun quietly, thinking Benoit was making a distraction so you could jump the man. Little did you know, that was the last thing he wanted you to do.
"I've killed four people already, what's three more?" Johnathan spoke before turning to you, "Don't think I've forgotten about you either, sweetheart."
Benoit took a step forward & was met with the gun racing back to face him. He was not going to be able to do anything. As Johnathan ranted about how he killed his previous victims, affirming everything you & Blanc had uncovered, you took a step behind him. He didn't notice. Another step. He continued ranting. Benoit didn't bother to glance at you, afraid it would get you caught, only acknowledging you in his peripheral vision.
'Please don't, Y/N,' Benoit pleaded in his mind.
You lunged at Johnathan & pushed the gun to the ground, a bullet pierced the floor as the trigger was pulled. You had successfully caught him off guard. You tackled Johnathan to the floor, landing on top of him & struggling to hold the firearm down. Benoit wanted to run to you but Trooper Wagner was holding him back to keep him out of shooting range.
"Let me go- I need to help him!"
"Benoit, you can't. Johnathan could break free & shoot you!"
"What about Y/N?!"
At that moment a couple shots fired going into the wall behind you. You slammed your fist down onto Johnathan's wrist & he yelled in pain, letting go of the gun. You slide it across the room & turned to the officers that were holding Benoit back, "Lieutenant, I need some handcuffs over here!"
Lieutenant Elliot ran to you & restrained Johnathan. You stood up, proud of yourself for protecting everyone & walking up to Benoit. He grabbed your arms tightly & you could see pure fear in his eyes.
"Are you hurt? I can't believe you did that, I would never insult you but that action was incredibly stupid!"
The rambling felt distant & you sort of mindlessly stared at Benoit's coat. You noticed him looking down then back up at you before feeling really dizzy. Within seconds your legs felt weak & you fell into Benoit's arms.
"Oh lord. Stay with me, Y/N. Trooper Wagner, Y/N was shot get a first aid kit now!"
Trooper Wagner darted out of the room & Benoit pulled you down to the floor with him. His hand quickly moved to your hip, covering a bullet wound you must have missed in the heat of the moment. As Benoit applied pressure to the wound, you finally felt the pain. Benoit shushed you quietly as you winced & apologized over & over. Trooper Wagner returned with the first aid kit & help Benoit pull out the bandages.
"Call an ambulance & get the suspect in custody with Elliot, I'll take care of Y/N," Benoit attempted to sound calm in effort to not scare you with his own fear.
As soon as Trooper Wagner, Elliot, & Johnathan left the room his hands became a little shakey. He lifted your shirt & replaced his hand with a bandage & applied one to the exit wound before wrapping your stomach with bandage wrap.
"Are you feeling alright? I shouldn't have let you do that, I shouldn't have let you come here. I just-"
"Benoit, it's okay. I chose to protect you."
"I'm thankful for that but I didn't want you to get hurt. This is my fault for-"
You grabbed Benoit's tie pulling him down to your level. You stopped when your noses were about to touch. Benoit let out a shakey, heavy sigh.
"Y/N, I- Do you-"
"Yes."
Benoit placed his hand on the small of your back & pulled you up to meet his lips. Sirens could now be heard getting close outside. Benoit now knew you'd be safe & his hands began to shake less. From this day forward, though, you will be babied so much more on cases.
Bonus:
Benoit walked out of the hospital room to see Trooper Wagner & Lieutenant Elliot waiting to hear if you were okay.
"Y/N's fine, I hate this stupid state."
"What?" Trooper Wagner asked, 'get well soon' flowers in hand.
"First Ransom almost kills Marta, now this? I swear I'm never coming back here."

I just watched "Glass onion - a knives out mystery"
I was so excited since I watched the First one that the second Part comes Out. So I Loved to See it today!
This movie was so good! I really liked it.
I was Just afluttered to See Leslie Odom Jr on the list of actors. 'Pardon me, are you Aaron burr, Sir?'
And Benoit blanc was so sweet and Well... I Love this Character!
But I have to say...
This movie was really good the way it is. But I do missed Martha...
I Just started to ship Benoit and Marta. They were so special and sweet together. So it's sad that he didn't kept in Touch with her... Or at least we haven't See that he did.
I would have Loved, when we had seen a scene or something where he just call Martha and tell her about the quarantine and how hard it is for him, or after everything He is Just Like:
"Marta, you can't believe the Weekend I Just Had. The House Just exploded- wha-... Yes I'm fine. I finally Had a Case! Mhm- yes- I'll Tell you-"
You know 😅 I'm a sucker for them. They are Just so cute ☺️
But I liked the movie! It was really great even without Marta.
