⋆. 𐙚 ˚ Cuddles With An Awkward Lover
It was a very long day. You were training in the wisteria forest with Kochō from noon till sunset, and GOD was she fast and agile— a complete contrast from your capacities. I mean, she is ranked a Pillar for a reason. Anyway, you were completely spent, but hey— at least you managed to better some of your abilities and learn something. You entered the Water Pillar’s estate (known as Tomioka Giyu’s estate, your husband.) as you rubbed your temple in attempt to ease the throbbing headache you had, walking through the main court and sitting on the engawa. You took off your shoes as you let out a sigh of relief, taking in a deep breath to relax.
You rested your face in your palms, quietly staring at the peachy sunset in the sky. Then, you suddenly remembered— Where was Tomioka? You raised an eyebrow, not recalling him having some kind of mission or training that Kamado boy. So, naturally, you got up from the engawa and slid the shoji doors open.. only to find that motherfucker sitting in the middle of the vast and empty training/living room while closing his eyes as if he was meditating or something. Was he for real?? Did he not hear the gates opening— or your loud ass crow?? You were used to him coming up to you whenever you came to the estate whenever he was there, so you were pretty pissed. Was this petty from you? Probably. But hey— you like it whenever he does something sweet or sappy, so of COURSE you were gonna get bitter over it. Before you could say a word, he opened one of his eyes— and god does it look like a majestic ocean. Why does he have to be so damn ethereal ??
"( Name )," He quietly mumbled, getting up and dusting himself off as he did so. "I see you came back from training with Kochō."
He walked up to you, placing his hand on your head since he noticed the slightly bitter expression.
"I didn’t expect you to be back so soon," He continued, ruffling your hair a little. "You quite started me. My apologies, I didn’t know you came back."
Your expression softened at his apology. You couldn’t be mad at him for so long, he was just too cute! And it was a bit dramatic how you got sour over something SOOO small.
"Aah.. no worries, Giyū." You beamed softly, despite your tired tensed muscles and your body BEGGING for some rest.
Giyū ruffled your hair again, before his palm traveled to your face and gently grazed your cheek, rubbing it gently with his calloused thumb. He noticed your tired figure, and couldn’t help but frown despite how he had to keep his cold facade.
".. How was training with Kochō ?" He mumbled, caressing your face as if it were the most precious thing in the world.
You leaned in his touch unconsciously, letting out a sigh of relief at his gentle caresses. You closed your eyes and recall the training with Shinobu, letting out a tired ‘mm’ before responding with a huffy tone.
"Eeek.. Shinobu-chan is so fast! I couldn’t keep up with her, and she wouldn’t stop teasing me! But honestly.. it was both great and tiring."
He hummed at your response, staring at your face with those empty yet concerned eyes. "You should rest, ( Name )."
You equally stared at him, reaching your hands out to touch his which were holding your face. You breath almost hitched as you practically drown in those eyes of his. But that statement of his snapped you out of your thoughts, shaking your head in disagreement. Giyū furrowed his eyebrows at this, flicking your forehead. You whine, even though the flick didn’t hurt that much.
— "You’re gonna be too sore tomorrow at training to do anything. This is not a request, this is an order."
"Oh? Mister is getting bold now, eh? Ordering me around like that.." You said with a hint of mischief in your tone, raising an eyebrow at him. Giyū wasn’t usually like this. He was quiet and almost shy to use that ordering tone of his— or worse, to show through words how worried he is of you. At your words, Giyū quickly raised his eyebrows and had a deadpan look on his face, before softening. You both stayed in a comfortable silence for now, just him holding your face waiting for you to let go and rest or something.
".. ( Name ). I said go rest."
"Don’t you see I’m waiting for something ?"
Giyū, as dense as he is, did NOT get it. You wanted him to cuddle with you, which is why you didn’t wanna give in yet and rest in your futon alone. Come on Tomioka, get a hint!!
"Fine! Since you’re so oblivious, I’m gonna take the risk to embarrass myself and say it."
He tilted his head to the side, wondering what was soo embarrassing that you couldn’t say to his face.
".. Can.. can we cuddle ?" Giyū nearly choked on his own saliva at this. Sure, you were both married, but it wasn’t really common for you two to have intimate moments— considering you both were Pillars and needed to focus on y’alls work. His ears turned red as he looked away from you, processing that sentence in his mind over and over again. How did something so little from you get him so flustered ??!?!?!?
’Oh yeah no I definitely fucked this up..’ you thought in panic, watching his flustered expression— until he shyly nodded. You beamed in joy, hugging him tightly since this rarely happened. Giyū didn’t move for a while, his body stilled at your hug.
He suddenly picked you up in a bridal carry. You let out a gasp of shock, totally not expecting this. But still, you smiled again and wrapped your arms around his neck, resting your head on his chest.
"Oo.. Giyū, Am I that light to you?" You raised an eyebrow, smirking as he carried you to your shared bedroom. He didn’t respond, which made you poke his cheek. "You know, it’s rude to not respond to a lady, dear." At the sound of that, he didn’t respond and laid you gently on the futon, taking his time to admire your figure before laying beside you. You immediately got on top of him, wrapping your arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around your waist tightly, looking at you with half lidded eyes.
".. Satisfied?" He mumbled, his face against the crook of your shoulder as his breath tickled your neck. You smiled warmly, the corner of your eyes crinkling in whimsy and nuzzled back, connecting your bodies together and creating the perfect amount of warmth to feel comfortable. Which silently confirmed Giyū’s earlier question.
Although, Tomioka is an emotionally constipated man, the corners of his mouth twitched into something veryyyyy similar to a smile. Unfortunately, you couldn’t see it since… well.. you already dozed off.
Watching the cute expression while you slept— Giyū smiled fondly, cradling your head to his chest as he also decided to sleep. <3
