sylus spoiling wifey!reader for valentines / fluff
a/n : i've been sad all day and needed to write my husband rq
you wake up to a half empty bed. the sun's light is idly peeking through the curtains, and you can see it rays casting on the side where your husband usually lays.
as your sleepiness blurs away, your eyes blink as you finally process that you have, in fact, woken up alone. while you and your husband sylus live on entirely different sleep schedules, he always makes an effort to at least let you know if he'd be heading out first for whatever work needs to be done in the N109 zone.
lazily, and without looking, your hand reaches to the side of your bed for your phone. maybe sylus texted you his whereabouts this early in the morning. failing to grab your phone, you finally turn to get a better look.
instead of just your phone, which you suspected sylus had moved to the further corner where the charger was, you see a beautiful dark green glass vase, with an assortment of rose, a few of your favorite flowers, daturas, and filler foliage sitting inside. atop the flowers is a dark red envelope with your name in large lettering. it's your husbands handwriting, something you note immediately.
after finally finding the strength to get out of your spot in bed, you walk up to the flowers and pick up the card, opening and reading its contents.
my dearest,
I apologize for leaving you alone this morning. You can tell me all about it later. These flowers were picked this morning, so they'll be in full bloom within the week. I selected each one myself, because I can only have the best for my wife, right? There was an urgent matter for me to take care off, but go ahead and look in the closet. I'll pick you up around noon, so take your time. I'll see you soon.
your h͟u͟s͟b͟a͟n͟d, sylus
a small giggle escapes you at the fact that he underlined husband. it's been a few years since your wedding, but he hold the title as sacred.
deciding to check out the closet, you're met with another wonderful surprise. it's a hand tailored dress, deep and dark red, one that looks straight out of your imagination. no matter how many times sylus showers you with gifts, you never are not in awe at the scale of marvelous they come with.
within the next few hours, you take a bath (in the absurdly large tub, courtesy of your husband), find yourself eating a small homemade breakfast spread that sylus had laid out for you, and get ready for whatever surprise sylus has in store.
you wait outside your shared home, and at the clocks turning noon you see sylus pull up in one of his cars. it's almost unfair how attractive he looks when driving, but what catches your breath is when he walks out of the car, and you see him in a suit that matches your outfit perfectly.
"it's like you're undressing me with your eyes, sweetie." his remark earns an eye roll from you, as sylus pulls you into his arms. as if you'd done so a million times (which, well, you have) sylus dips his head towards yours and captures you in a kiss.
"so what" kiss "if" kiss "i am?" the words come out between kisses, and sylus chases you like it's his next high.
"I wouldn't be opposed, but let's save it for later, sweetie. how about I take you on a proper date first?" Sylus takes you to the car, opening your door and helping you in. as you sit comfortably, you notice a small gift box right on the dashboard, a tag with your name attached to it.
"go ahead, it's for you" your husband begins to drive as you unwrap the box. inside is a small chain necklace, with a ruby heart charm attached. with one hand still on the wheel, sylus moves his other one to yours, holding it tightly.
"I'll help you put in on when we get out. it represents my heart. you're the only one I trust with it, and who gets to keep it close to yours." he's looking straight towards the road, but his words are deep and sincere. a small thank you escapes your lips, and soon later sylus finally parks the car.
as he helps you out the car, and helping you put the necklace on, sylus walks you through a secluded garden. you both walk through the gates, which are lined and surrounded with tall fern walls. as you walk deeper into the garden, you see a gazebo in the middle, surrounded with flowers and flora alike. the view looks straight out of a fairytale, and you notice the picnic setup within the gazebo as you get there.
sylus wastes no time in pulling your chair out, a small smirk at the way your eyes are staring brightly at the scenery. "this is why I had to leave bed early, much to my dismay. I booked this place out this morning and wanted to be the one to set this up."
"Sylus, this is just.. I'm at a loss for words. This is beautiful, I can't believe I'm so lucky to have you." Sylus grabs your hands and brings them to his lips, gently pressing a kiss along your wrist.
"No, it's the opposite. Everyday I become so tempted to shower you with gifts and spoil you with everything this world has. I know how you feel about it, but it's because there isn't anything that would amount to how much I love you." he pauses for a moment. sylus, for all you knew him, is a confident man. but you, his love, his wife, are the only one who can make him weak like this, make his heart flutter.
"Sweetheart, today may be Valentines Day, but I love you all the same and more everyday. There aren't enough days to express how much I love you, so I hope you can take my word for it. I'm yours for as long as you'll have me, which I hope is a while considering this." Sylus taps on the wedding ring on your finger, and you fight back the tears that threaten to spill. not from sadness, but from the overwhelming, raw and passionate love that sylus proclaims. you know he means what he says, because that's exactly how you feel for him as well.
you grab his face in your hand, and press kisses along his jaw and cheeks, before leaving a lingering one on his lips. your other hand presses a small wrapped envelope against his chest, and sylus lifts an eyebrow at the object.
you watch as he opens it, his eyes widening in delight. it's a pair of decorative cuff links, but what surprised him were the gemstones at the end of each link.
"a ruby heart and cutout ruby cat paw. the latter is, well self explanatory with what you call me." his kitten, a nickname that he uses both to tease but lovingly. "but it looks like we had the same idea with the heart, huh? I'll take care of yours, if you take care of mine. deal?"
Sylus looks at you with nothing less than adoration. you are his soulmate, his partner that understand him in a way no one else ever will. he envelops your hand thats hovering above his heart, and keeps it close.
