Theory on Sariel's Background - What Sariel’s previous occupation before becoming the court’s minister could possibly be
.
.
Various reveals alludes to Sariel, a man now in his 40s youngest, being a potential ex-child assassin (from Obsidian) who was after the Previous King’s life but had converted and been following the Previous King’s under his command as his attendant ever since the two formed a “contract” together.
.
.
The beginning of Sariel’s “reveal” began in Sariel's 1st Birthday Story (His POV).
It was late January, inside the castle which had became very cold since it snowed during day time sat Sariel alone at the desk in his office. He didn't lit up any candle to warm up the room as he looked through the documents on his hand with the moonlight that shone into the room as he drank from the glass of ale in his other hand. The moon outside was very beautiful tonight, and on a night like this.... a memory always came back to him.
???: “Be it you, or Iーーwere we born in the wrong place?”
Sariel kept thinking about “that person” who told him that.
He thought to himself how he always work while drinking cold ale like this but he never got drunk from it.
Sariel: Even “that person”....
But at the time where people would be asleep, no one else showed up in the room. It was only Sariel alone.
In the end Sariel didn't sleep at all. By the time it's morning, Sariel thought to himself how that doesn't really matter. Because.... ever since he was a child, it's not like he ever got any decent sleep anyway.
Later Sariel went to do some... “clean ups”. What this meant was to go around crushing the bases of those who are trying to bring harm to the palace. Literally, singlehandedly. Get physical and beat them up.
Unlike a court bureaucrat, he seems like someone who's familiar with weapons.
On his birthday, at one of the bases, Sariel found MC tied up, blindfolded and unconscious. The men had kidnapped her to be a hostage. Sariel was glad MC is unconscious although he noticed she's waking up and is able to hear what's going on. But at least MC’s vision is still obstructed so Sariel is glad for that.
Because this way she won't see him beating these men up with his whip.
Sariel grabbed a guy who had collapsed down onto the grown after getting whipped up their chin by his whip. He had grabbed the man by his hair, pulling his head up to meet his own at eye level.
The man was all teary eyed as Sariel spoke up
Sariel: At the meeting two days from now, let's hear about the “circumstances” in front of everyone. Don't go running away or hiding now alright?
Sariel: Because if you don't listen to what the devil says, this timeーー you know what will happen right?
After finishing with the “clean up”, Sariel walked over to MC and told her he's glad she got her eyes blindfolded because he think the devil's work is quite too extreme for her.
Sariel: But I didn't think I'll be meeting you at a place like this, Belle
Then he told her to keep it a secret that the two of them were at this place.
ー
In addition, Sariel have said multiple times (specifically in Beast Knight Collection Event and Clavis’ Route) that unlike the princes, he wasn't raised well and good like the princes were.
In Clavis’ route, it was even revealed that The Person who taught Clavis how lock pick was... Sariel Noir.
After MC asked Sariel if he’s good at picking locks like Clavis is while Sariel was picking the lock to Clavis’ bedroom... this was his reply
Sariel: Please don't lump me in with him. .......The one who taught Prince Clavis how to do it was me.
Sariel: Long time ago, there was some happenings, I ended up being seen picking a lock by young Prince Clavis
Sariel: and he cheekily threatened me that “if you don't want me to tell anyone then teach me how to do it”
Sariel: That's why I'm the one who's better at lock picking
It was here that he once again emphasized how he wasn't raised well and good like the princes were... that's why he's good at “these sort of things”
ー
In “1st Anniversary Story Event 〜 Sariel's Route” Sariel is thinking about “that person” again. But this time we got more insights on him.
As Sariel gaze at the scenery of the country, he remembered how “that person” was the one who appointed Sariel, with his appearance not suited for this beautiful country of roses, as his closest aide.
Who exactly is Sariel an attendant of? Luke route has mentions of how Sariel has been the Previous King's attendant ever since he was young.
“That person” Sariel kept thinking of... is heavily implied to be the Previous King, the father of all the 8 Rhodolite Princes.
Jin’s route also mentioned how 6 years old Jin learnt of “the Palace’s Tragedy” (about his father, the Previous King, and his mother, the Previous Belle) from “the King’s close attendant”. Considering how Luke’s route revealed that Sariel was the Previous King’s attendant ever since he was young.... plus the fact that Sariel had known Clavis’ and Luke’s mother personally as well ever since before they gave birth to the princes because they were palace worker colleagues... It was confirmed (during Sariel might very well be in his 40s.
Sariel: (.........But a “contract” is a contract. This devil shall see through the promise to the end.)
Later on in the event common route, Clavis released mice in the castle (again). Sariel hates mice but now he has to go around catching them because they're all over the kitchen too. Yves and Luke were in the kitchen as the mice ran around, some of them jumping on Yves much to his horror. As Sariel was trying to handle the kitchen, the maids outside were also screaming because of the mice.
Sariel: Anyone who sees Prince Clavis please capture him like you do with the mice
Sariel: Ah, not just capture him but if you're able to exterminate him too that would be so great..... Oops, I accidentally spoke my mind
Rio & the Knights: ...............
After the thing with the mice was over, Sariel was thinking to himself how this time it's “mice” but even with “human” what he does is the same.
As he thought that, Sariel also thought how he doesn't want MC to know about that side of him. Because given his “dark past” he's not in the position to reach out to “that kind of thing” (which was later revealed to be “someone with a beautiful heart like Belle”).
Later on toward the the end of the common route, a knight brought a bouquet of roses to Sariel's office and told him how someone sent them for MC. But immediately after looking at the flowers... Both Sariel and Rio were able to tell right away that it's poisoned. (More on this in the theory on Rio below).
ー
In Rio's Sweet End from “1st Anniversary Story Event 〜 Rio’s Route”... Rio was trying to figure out why Sariel chose MC to become Belle since Sariel seems to have another reason for it that he didn't told anyone about. However, at the same time, Sariel was also trying to figure out who on earth is Rio because no matter how much he tried to investigate and dig up despite his skills (he was able to dig up Luke’s birthday when the birthday boy himself doesn’t even know when he was born or how old he actually is), nothing on Rio “exists” as if he's a man who “doesn't exist”. (More on this in the theory on Rio below).
Rio doubts “her slap” was the reason Sariel chose MC as Belle. He invited Sariel out to drink with him and tried to get Sariel tipsy so he would reveal some deeds to him but Sariel got no openings. What Rio hypothesized though, was that Sariel had been investigating MC “For A While” and “For Some Specific Reasons” had his eyes on her but what that reason is...... is still unknown.
Sariel: For example, what kind of reasons?
Rio, started off seriously but ended it jokingly: You've been doing background check and investigating MC... and turns out she actually have some relations to the royal family!
Sariel, holding himself back from bursting out laughing: That's some development right out of a romance novel right there
Rio changed his plans and tried to ask Sariel what he was doing before coming to the palace, where, and how he lived instead.
Sariel: ......If you tell me where you were raised I'll answer that
Rio: (Huh.......?)
Rio: Could it be that you don't know my identity too?
Sariel: ..........
Rio: (I'm right on the mark)
Rio told Sariel how he seems like the type who can get his hand on any info and is able to do anything so this was pretty unexpected.
Sariel responded with how he too find it strange that he's unable to find out the identity of someone who ought to be a commoner....
Sariel, with an evil smile: That's why I want to meet the one who turned you into a non-existent being too you see?
Rio suddenly tensed up
Rio: .........
Sariel, with a gentle smile: My apologies, it's possible that you just grew up somewhere remote
Rio, winking: You mean raised by an animal? That also sounds like a plot out of a story
Rio: Anyway, if you find out anything about me please let me know alright!
Sariel: Of course
ー
Back to why I mentioned Sariel’s “possible connection to Obsidian” at the very start, there’s actually a few points I would like to highlight regarding this matter.
By this point I think you can see why Sariel is most likely an “ex-child assassin”： his “dark past”, his “lack sleep ever since he was a child”, how he “wasn't raised well and good like the princes were... that's why he's good at “these sort of things” (lock picking, identifying poisons, violence, his “clean ups”)”
But why Obsidian? “With his appearance not suited for this beautiful country of roses”, the other country which Sariel’s appearance seems most suited for is... obviously Obsidian here. His outfit isn’t really making this subtle at all. This combined with the fact that Sariel knows Jin and Clavis are both spies for Obsidian. With Clavis, Sariel knows but he couldn’t find concrete evidence for it. However, with Jin... the two of them has been cooperating. Sariel knows, and he’s been supporting Jin as a double agent. Sariel also got contact with back alley doctors to come treat Jin whenever his life gets endangered due to his status as “an Obsidian spy” and how there are those who suspect Jin of being so. Furthermore, Obsidian is known for child labor. Especially to use them as soldier / for war.
ー
Whether this theory end up becoming completely true / only true to certain extent / or completely off the mark... We shall find out with Sariel’s route that most likely going to be here by Dec 2021 👀
But one thing for sure is, by the end of Act 1, neither we, nor any of the princes themselves, know exactly how old Sariel is nor where he was from despite how a majority of them grew up with Sariel being around ever since they were born...
ーーーー
Theory on Rio's Background - Who exactly is Rio and where is he from? Is he really amnesiac or...?
.
.
Various reveals alludes to Rio being a “someone not ordinary” perhaps an (ex-)assassin or royalty/nobility from Benitoite.
.
.
While Chevalier’s True Love (Romantic) End reveals Rio to know a “foreign lullaby”...
The first time we got proper some insight on Rio was from Nokto’s Route Chapter 7. Despite having followed Nokto and MC to Benitoite, Rio “lied” about Sariel telling him to remain in the carriage to wait. It was actually Rio’s own decision to, for some reason, avoid being seen by people in Benitoite. Nokto noticed this, but Rio insisted that he has no idea what Nokto is on to and that he has no memory from before 3 years ago.
I’ll get back to the bit about Benitoite later to focus on Rio’s and his “assassin-like” skills first. But through out Act 1, Rio keep avoiding Benitoite like a plague.
Moving onto Rio’s “assassin-like” skills... this also first made its cameo in Nokto’s Route Chapter 7. Rio “accidentally” dropped his trays on Nokto as they walked passed each other and almost “accidentally” threw a knife at Nokto's face, missing it just by his hair.
Rio: Oops. My hand slipped, I'm so sorry.
Nokto saw through that. That neither was the tray dropping nor the knife almost hitting him was “an accident”. After asking Rio what it was that he actually wanted to talk to him about, Rio told Nokto that this is a warning from him. A warning not to hurt his precious, most important girl, or he won't forgive Nokto even if he's a prince.
ー
Later on in Nokto’s Chapter 12, Rio together with MC and Luke were tailing behind Licht into a building.
First of all, it was Rio who noticed the footprints and figured out which direction to go. As the three were eavesdropping from a room nearby, Rio was able to tell how many people were in the other room with Nokto through the eavesdropping through the wall.
ー
Soon after in Licht’s Route Chapter 13, Rio's “assassin-like” senses were triggered here as well. While MC, Licht, and Rio were on the carriage together, Licht and Rio noticed they were surrounded.
In Licht’s His POV story for this chapter, upon realizing that Rio too, noticed the same thing he did... Licht thought how he heard Rio is “just a commoner like MC” but that totally doesn't seem to be the case here.
Because “an ordinary commoner shouldn't be able to notice that”.
ー
Now let me just share “My Knight is a Beast (Licht Route Release) Collection Event 〜 Rio's Story” because this story literally explains itself.
The story started off with Rio rushing to the scene and tackling down the guy who was grabbing onto MC's arm and as they both tumbled down onto the ground...
Rio: Ouchhhhh that hurtsssssss
From everyone's point of view, Rio seems like he clumsily dashed in and fell on that man.
But the man who was tackled down by Rio.... his face became deathly pale.
Man 1: Hey. What's wrong?
Man 2, who got tackled down: Let's go.
Man 1: What?
Man 2: Don't ask, let's leave!!
Just like that, the men ran off like a startled hare. As she saw that, MC wondered what got into them all of a sudden.
Rio: They probably suddenly remembered they have something important they had to do. But more importantly, I'm glad you're safe
MC thought the men were acting strangely but whatever since nothing happened, all is good. She thanked Rio for saving her and asked if he followed her along. Rio told her he did, because he had a bad feeling something might happen and he's so worried he couldn't sit still if that really were the case. Rio told MC to use a safer street to head back or else..... he backed her against the wall. A beast might assault her like this. Backing away from her, Rio told her to get on the carriage that he came on before him. MC asked Rio what about him but he said he got something to do a bit first and he will promptly follow her.
Immediately after, the scene cut to a random house nearby.
Man 1: Hey, why did you run away
Man 2: .....That guy is bad news. If we go against him, the one that's not going to end well is us
Man 1: Haa??
Man 2: Did you not noticed!? That guy when he tackled me down.... He had a knife against my neck!!!
Man 2: It won't be strange to be kill by him!!!
As the man was screaming out his demise, a shadow approached them
???: It's alright. Because I can't do something so cruel like that in front of that girl
The Men: !?
Man 2: I-it's you.......!
They asked Rio who suddenly showed up if he chased them here and Rio said, with a friendly smile on his face as he slowly approached them, that there's simply something he forgot to tell these men who dare put their hand on his MC.
In the next moment, Rio's gaze turned sharp and the men felt chill running down their spine
Rio: There shall be no second time. Bear that in mind.
The unbearable pleasure they felt from Rio made the men tremble in fear like wild rabbits cornered by a beast as they replied “we will never do it again”.
Satisfied with the reply, Rio smiled and left.
As Rio came back into the alley and walked toward the carriage MC was waiting for him in....
Rio: I'll certainly protect you
Rio: No matter with what means I have to use
ーーEnd of “My Knight is a Beast (Licht Route Release) Collection Event 〜 Rio's Story”ーー
As you can see above, the story explained itself here. Those are... not ordinary skills.
ー
In Rio 1st Birthday story, it was revealed that April 13 is not Rio’s birthday. April 13, 3 years ago, was the day he and MC first met.
In His POV, Rio can't remember his birthday so MC suggested he set a date as his birthday so they can celebrate it. As rio agreed... the first date that came up to his mind was “that day” ....the day he first met MC.
Rio felt so happy to be able to spend his birthday with mc but that's also why a certain thought kept repeating itself in his head. If his memories returned, he wonder if he'll be able to remain here unchangingly. He wonder if he can still stay by MC’s side.
Rio: The more happy I feel, the more afraid I become of the future.....
.
From this story, it seems Rio’s amnesia is “real”. But does he truly not remember “everything” or does he have partial memory of things is something to ponder about. Considering how soon after Rio said the line above to himself, he heard footsteps and he remember the sound of this footsteps belongs to MC’s.
There’s also the fact that Rio been avoiding Benitoite back in Nokto’s route. This also came up again in Luke’s Passionate Love (Dramatic) End.
ー
A quick back tracing to Licht’s route first since Licht’s Chapter 12 also had another key point regarding “Rio and Benitoite”.
After Sariel told MC and Rio how a duke from Benitoite will be visiting Rhodolite as Benitoite’s goodwill ambassador since every year around this time Rhodolite and Benitoite would be exchanging relations and stuff...
Rio: .......A duke from Benitoite you say?
MC saw the smile disappeared from Rio's face so she asks him what's wrong. But his reaction was...
Rio: Ah, sorry. It's nothing.
....If this isn’t shady then what is this.
ー
Then at the very end of Luke’s Passionate Love (Dramatic) End when MC was about to follow Luke to Benitoite...
At the bookstore in the capital city of Rhodolite, despite how much he wants to be with MC, Rio unexpectedly decided to remain behind and not even go with her to Benitoite, letting Cyril be the one to accompany MC on her travel instead. Before MC left, Rio was all sad and worried over her. In which MC, in an attempt to put Rio at ease, told him “benitoite isn't a dangerous country”
Rio: ..........I wonder about that
MC: ??
Rio, do you truly have “no memory of anything before 3 years ago” for you to be avoiding Benitoite to such degree? Are you perhaps related to Silvio in some way?
ー
In “1st Anniversary Story Event 〜 Clavis' Route”, we got another emphasize on Rio being “someone not ordinary”.
After Rio told Clavis he noticed Clavis been snooping around but he don't know what Clavis is trying to do, he asked him if he would tell him what he’s up to. Being asked that, Clavis thought to himself how usually Rio seems like a dog wagging his tail for his master but.... he knows how to bare his fangs at his enemies. He's good at socialization and you could even say he's like someone powerful enough to quarrel with royalties.
Clavis thought how at the very least, Rio is totally not someone ordinary. Because of this reason, he's going to do some digging on his background.
Clavis: That's right. You're my *wife's butler...... I'll at least let you in on the secret, but not now.
Note: This story is a direct continuation of “(IF Event) Royal Wedding～The Prince and the Fake Bride～Part.2 ～ Clavis’ Route″ where in the story, MC and Clavis “got married” (Rio and Luke crashed the wedding though). This premise of Clavis’ MC being Clavis’ “wife” (pre-Clavis route release) continued on even to the story event after this, in “Midsummer's Heat 〜The Drench Beast Wants to Indulge〜 Clavis’ Route”
Rio: I told you she's not your wife but.....
Rio: If you don't tell me, I won't let you meet MC no matter what
Clavis: Oh, that's troubling. If I can't play with my wife I would want to lay traps all over the castle
Rio: But you're not a person with that much free time to pull it off
Rio was smiling but his eyes were sharp like that of a mad dog.
Clavis: (Jeez, if mc really is keeping this much of a mad dog around her then.....)
ー
Then through out the common route of “1st Anniversary Story Event 〜 Sariel's Route”, Sariel also kept thinking about how Rio, despite the front he's showing, seems to have “another side”
At the end of the common route, after a knight brought a bouquet of roses to Sariel's office and told him how someone sent them for MC. But immediately after looking at the flowers... Both Sariel and Rio were able to tell right away that it's poisoned...
Sariel was thinking once again how Rio really is no ordinary person.
And we got a flashback scene to the first time Sariel met Rio at the bookstore. The scene which happened off-screen during the prologue.
Having entered the bookstore MC was supposed to be working at, Sariel met Rio who was directing killing intent at him.
In the end, Sariel decided to take Rio along with him to the palace too because...
1) Rio is troublesome to handle due to his sharpness and how he clearly is showing that he won't let Sariel off without a fight
2) Rio's killing intent is even giving Sariel the chills
3) Sariel don't know the reason, but it seems this man (Rio) really “needs” MC (the word he use is she's necessary to him for some reason)
So he took Rio with him too since there's no reason not to let Rio stay by MC
.
Now, considering the above theory of Sariel being a potential ex-child assassin... if even Rio’s killing intent can give Sariel the chills... that’s certainly something.
ー
In Rio's Sweet End from “1st Anniversary Story Event 〜 Rio’s Route”... Rio was trying to figure out why Sariel chose MC to become Belle since Sariel seems to have another reason for it that he didn't told anyone about. However, at the same time, Sariel was also trying to figure out who on earth is Rio because no matter how much he tried to investigate and dig up despite his skills (he was able to dig up Luke’s birthday when the birthday boy himself doesn’t even know when he was born or how old he actually is), nothing on Rio “exists” as if he's a man who “doesn't exist”.

Rio, winking: You mean raised by an animal? That also sounds like a plot out of a story
Rio: Anyway, if you find out anything about me please let me know alright!
Sariel: Of course
The bit above here was also shared in Sariel’s theory section but I copied it over and highlighted the bit that focuses more on Rio.
.
.
In summary, Rio is most certainly from Benitoite. But regarding his background...
Rio, we know you are no ordinary person but... just who exactly are you??
notes. 🍡 ur taste is spectacular. these are my favourite boys too :')
FUYUHIKO.
f. first of all. he's so romantic on the side.
like oh my god he's rlly just very soft, especially around you.
he actually confesses pretty quickly, just because he hates making a fool of himself pining for you.
cause like. you know he's not slick. he brushes pretty easily, he trips over his words, he zealously avoids you so he doesn't make an idiot of himself in front of you.
he takes you for a nice lowkey expensive dinner then gets the family car to drive you home. right as you pull up to your house he starts fidgeting like. um. so. hey, funny thing.
it's pretty hard to confess when peko is staring at the both of you from the backseat like ( : ౦ _ ౦ : )
but he does it because he's NOT afraid smh.
he's so protective. he will absolutely kill and die for you.
if someone so much as looks at you funny he's getting in their face like "huh? huh??? did you say something?? wanna speak up??" and peko is already drawing her sword.
he's not a fan of pda - it makes him shy - but he always has an arm or hand on you when you're out in public together in the nature of your safety. he's never fully at ease until you're fully in his sight and under his protection.
gifts you weapons and thinks it's hot when you carry them around NSHSHW.
the king of flustered if you steal his clothes. his jacket, hat, tie, name it. will grumble and complain but then if you try and give it back he'll just be like "tch... keep it if you want it so bad. cheapskate."
flicks you on the forehead or raps you about the head when you annoy him lol.
he likes going out but privately he likes quiet evenings in just as much. having the two of you just lying in bed or on the couch with your back to his chest </3 yeah
it makes the two of you feel so safe.
buys you stuff all the time. clothes specifically tailored to make you look gorgeous, flattering jewellery (nothing tacky, he is a man of taste), expensive shoes. if you get your hair or nails done, he pays for that too.
please..... please give him massages.... he's so stressed don't you wanna help him out a lil :((
gets his bouts of insecurity, but rarely confides in you about them. instead he'll retreat into himself and get bitter, maybe even lashing out before he's confronted with the very real fear that you could leave him all alone again.
look me in the eye and tell me he can apologise without crying. he's can't. he gets all teary and then he's angry about crying and then he's crying cause he's frustrated and aaahhhehe give him hugs.
he only says the really soft shit in the dark. the lights off with you two curling into each other, his hands tracing soft shapes into your skin, and he presses his face into your shoulder.
"don't ever leave me." and if it was anyone else that would sound threatening but it's fuyuhiko and you know it's born from a place of fear and insecurity. "please."
you bring his hand to your mouth and press your lips to it gently, not commenting on the bodily shudder that wracks through him at the motion. you can feel the raised scars on his hands beneath the skin of your mouth.
"i won't. never."
"... love you."
"i love you too."
KOKICHI.
.....
okay. alright. okay.
im gonna assume you're a very patient person because you're gonna need it.
you gotta read between the lines with everything this mf says.
honestly though,, once you figure it out, it's not too hard.
he doesn't exactly confess? you just have to figure it out.
and if you're too dense to do that, he'll just kind of announce that you're dating and let you take it from there.
he's like, surprisingly possessive. not in an overly controlling way - like, he'll never try and stop you talking to someone or cut them off unless they're genuinely overstepping their boundaries, but
he's gonna make it very obvious you're with him.
and unlike fuyuhiko, he has no shame. he is overly affectionate in public, an arm around your waist, squeezing your hips to make you jump, wrapping around your middle from behind and pressing his face into your back.
the type to sigh obnoxiously loudly when he's bored and droop all over you, head in your lap, arm around your shoulder, leg twined around your ankle. he's like a housecat.
please just. hold him. he loves casual affection, it makes him feel very wanted.
teaches you to play a ton of games! card games, chess, board games, all of them pretty complicated. he likes when you lose and he can lord it over you but honestly, he loves it even more when you get good enough to make it a real challenge for him.
he puts on the sore loser act, but he's secretly fucking thrilled. he literally finds you so attractive when you beat him at stuff.
stealing his clothes? non non. kokichi steals your clothes.
your hoodies, jeans, socks, shirts, you name it, he's taking it. he's very lightfingered and it takes you a while to realise he's taken something of yours.
but if you try and ask for it back he'll be all "huh? what are you accusing me of?! i bought this with my own hard-earned money and you're trying to make me out to be some kind of common criminal!"
basically guilts you into letting him keep them. little sewer rat.
fun dates!! the arcade, amusement parks, aquariums so he can look at the weird fish and say some out of pocket shit to make you concerned.
"sighhhh, i wish i was a jellyfish."
"??? do you need to talk to someone??"
jokes aside. you're one of the few people he completely trusts and it shows.
sincerity happens at the end of the day when the house is dark, when you're both made soft by exhaustion and he's just. tired and small and happy to have you here to take care of him sometimes.
you're both just lying down ready to sleep when he pokes you in the back. "y'know, if you ever leave me i'm gonna have to have you killed. you know too much."
a fluffy ko x reader bath scene would be nice actually-
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE
*casually looks away from my 30+ pending requests-*
Synopsis: Everyone likes baths. They're even better with your lover! Even if you're clingy and emotional the whole time.
(honestly this turned out to be less of a "bath scene" and more of a "we get in the bath at some point" but I hope you like it anyway lol)
This is an implied part two of my Aftercare with Komaeda oneshot! You don't have to read it to read this one, but you can if you want to.
Warnings: GN!Reader
You woke up in a similar position to the one you fell asleep in. Your arms were loose around Komaeda's shoulders and his face was pressed into your neck, breaths slow and warm against your shoulder.
Despite your grip being loose, Komaeda's was rather tight. He had his arms around your waist and his legs tangled with yours, pressing his body as close up against yours as he could.
You smiled at his peaceful expression, not being able to resist bringing a hand up to brush his hair out of his face.
Running your fingers through his hair, you didn't stop as Komaeda stirred, feeling only a little regretful that you had woken him.
Komaeda hummed, opening his eyes and smiling beautifully as your face came into focus.
"Waking up to you putting your hands on filthy garbage like me. How hopeful..." He smiled, his voice raspy from disuse as he slowly loosened his grip on you and looked into your eyes.
You didn't indicate a response, only smiling as your fingers continued to run through his hair.
"Good morning, beautiful." You said softly, your other hand coming up to rub his shoulder, which was bare underneath the sheets.
Komaeda's expression was hazy, a fervent blush on his cheeks as he smiled at you.
After a moment, he tensed up, pressing his face against your neck slowly, as if waiting for you to reprimand him. "Is it selfish of me...to want you to keep going...?" He asked, quietly.
Using your hand in his hair, you brushed his bangs out of his face to press a kiss to his forehead. "Nuh-uh." You said gently, shaking your head.
Komaeda squeezed your waist, snuggling into your neck with a poorly hidden smile.
Simply basking in each other's presence for a few minutes, you threaded your fingers through Komaeda's hair as last night's...events came back to you.
You giggled at the memory, pressing kisses against Komaeda's face affectionately as you recalled how vulnerable he had been.
Komaeda bristled at the attention. He enjoyed it, but he was flustered.
"A-Ah...why...?"
You only laughed in response.
"I love you." You hummed, pressing your face into his hair. "And I could lay in bed with you for the rest of my life, but I think it's about time for us to clean up, hm?"
Komaeda's face only grew darker the more you spoke, but he nodded anyway. "I-I love you too."
Despite his agreement, he tightened his arms around you, not wanting to let you go just yet.
You rubbed his arms that were tight around you. "I know, baby. Why don't we take a bath together?"
Komaeda's eyes widened at the prospect, his mouth dropping open momentarily. "Y-You... I-I don't deserve-" He began, but you were quick to cut him off.
"Shh," You pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. "You do. I want to bathe with you, Komaeda. Won't you indulge me?" You asked, looking into his eyes as his lip quivered.
"O-Okay..." He said quietly, eyes flickering to your lips for just a second.
Smiling, you pressed your lips to his. "Thank you."
__
"Is this too warm, Komaeda?" You asked as you turned off the faucet.
"W-Why are you asking me?" He inquired, as if his opinion didn't matter.
"Because I don't want you to be uncomfortable." You said, tilting your head.
Komaeda gave you a look that you would never get tired of.
He smiled at you and looked at you with this love-struck expression, like you had hung all the stars in the sky just for him. Even if you had only done something as simple as showing him basic human decency.
It gave you butterflies when he looked at you like that.
"Okay... It's okay." He said, sticking his hand in the water briefly.
"Good," You smiled. "Now let's get in."
He shimmied out of his boxers and you undressed as he slipped into the tub.
Leaning against the rim, Komaeda smiled as he waited for you to join him.
Once you finished undressing, you joined him in the tub, scooting to sit right in front of him and lean against his chest as he wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you into him.
"My Y/N..." He smiled, pressing his face into your hair. "You fill me with such hope..."
You smiled and leaned into Komaeda. He seemed to be having one of those rare moments when his love for you outweighed his insecurity.
Unfortunately, it couldn't last forever.
As Komaeda realized what he'd been doing, he quickly retracted his arms and leaned away from you.
"I-I'm sorry! I don't know what got into me!" He exclaimed, worried that he had weirded you out.
You gigged at his overreaction, bringing a hand up to his jaw as he stayed stock-still, waiting for you to say something.
"Silly. You act like I don't like it when you touch me or say sweet things to me. I love it, Komaeda. I love you." You smiled, looking into his eyes as he flushed at your words.
"I love you too. Ah, b-but I was going on about hope again..." He trailed off, looking away from you in...shame?
You frowned. Who made Komaeda think it wasn't okay to talk about hope?
"Hey." Your face went serious, and you turned to face your body towards Komaeda so you could cup both his cheeks. "What's wrong with hope?"
Komaeda's eyes widened, flickering to your face immediately.
"Hope is your passion, Komaeda. I would never dream of taking it away from you. I don't care what anyone says, I like it when you talk about hope. I like listening to you talk about the things that matter to you. Without your hope, you wouldn't be the same." You said earnestly.
Komaeda's mouth was open as he stared at your face, eyes flicking across your features, looking for any signs of insincerity.
After a moment, you smiled. "Even if you didn't have hope though, I would still love you endlessly. Forever and always." You said gently, your thumb rubbing Komaeda's cheek as his lip quivered.
"To love trash like me so unconditionally...I-I-" He cut himself off as tears started to stream down his face.
You wiped them away, kissing his cheek as he started to shake.
"I love you..." He said quietly.
"I love you too. Now close your eyes." You smiled.
He closed them without question, waiting for your next move.
You poured the warm water over his head, successfully drenching his hair as he gasped.
"Ah, I probably should've asked you this first, but," You said as he opened his eyes, "Can I wash your hair?" You asked, smiling.
He gave you a watery smile.
"Of course."
It was time for you both to explore each other's bodies in a...less sensual way.
