Hii!! I was the one who requested the Romeo headcanons <3 If itās okay could it be something like Human Romeo x reader in a soft moment that leads to their first āI love youā to eachother? Thatād be lovely. Tysm!
If you were being completely honest, the whole "becoming a stalker" career path genuinely did make you feel uneasy. Romeo was serious about it, and undoubtably loyal to Lea.
You would support Romeo through everything regardless of what it was, but your biggest fear was him becoming seriously injured or killed because of this path he wanted to take.
Your relationship was strong, a bit more than friends, but never went further than that. It was like the both of you were afraid of admitting it to one another, because the moment that you two do, there would be no turning back.
Romeo would have to be extra careful when out and about, come back unscathed. Keeping you worried was his biggest concern. Your expressions of anxiety and your words kept his mind occupied each time he went out, but there was more to it.
You wanted to say something to him every time he departed, a message that he knew he would hold so close to his heart. Yet, it seemed like you had no courage to speak it.
Just like now, when he stood before you. You had called out to him before he went with Lea on another trip.
You picked at your nails or fiddled with your fingers; a habit you had that he picked up on. The sleeves of your shirt were rumpled, as if you had been teasing the fabric between your fingertips.
Romeo sensed that you were nervous, but there were no words he could speak to ease your mind. When you glanced up at him, hazel hued eyes met yours, and his breath was stolen once again; Romeo was always in awe over your delicate features.
He could see the tears prick at your waterline, to which you attempted to blink away. āSorry, I⦠I donāt know why I said your name.ā You apologized, voice quiet and soft.
In response, Romeo reached out to take your hands into his. His palms were warm, calloused from his constant training. A thumb brushed across the back of your hand with slow strokes, and he brought your hands up towards his mouth.
A tender kiss was placed against your skin, which brought a reaction from you that he expected. Your tearful eyes widened ever so slightly, lips parted in awe at his actions. Romeo was always so gentle, so kind, so attentive.
āI donāt want you to worry about me. I will be okay.ā He simply said, warm lips moving against your hand. It was if he wanted to keep you close, savoring the time he held your hands.
Your head lowered and you shook it in disagreement. No, you had to worry. Romeo was the only one in your life that you cannot lose. He always has to come back, and you make him promise each time.
āNo, Romeo. I⦠This scares me. It all scares me. Do you have to go out so often?ā You ask of him, voicing your fears.
His eyes soften, now realizing that this was affecting you much more than he thought. He averted his eyes to the side, as if gathering his thoughts together.
You were right. You had every reason to feel scared. His gaze returned to you, yet his brows were furrowed. He wanted to do this, to continue this life and to make it a safer place for you.
It was difficult to leave, as your sweet voice would be the only thing to stop him. His right hand left yours and cupped your cheek, the warmth of his palm causing your eyes to flutter. You were always cold, embracing the hot that burned so intensely.
"You know I'm always careful. I would never leave you alone, not ever." His assurance did not quell the anxiety sitting in your chest, but his touch did make it a bit better. The hand that was on your cheek slid back into your hair and he pulled you close to his body.
Romeo leaned in close, his lips brushed against yours. It made you fall still, stunned at the sudden affection. His hand brought yours close and flattened your palm against his chest.
Beneath your hand, you could feel his heart pound. "My heart is yours. I promised to you a long time ago that I would make sure I would come home to you safe. I--"
Romeo stilled as well, your sudden admission taking him by surprise. You pulled back a bit to gauge his reaction, to which you see his cheeks flush red. It brought a smile to your face.
He breathed out a soft laugh with a smile, then leaned in with no time to waste. Romeo's lips felt soft, hot and searing against your own. Every bit of love he had for you was poured into this kiss.
He tilted his head to the right, the kiss you two shared deepened significantly. Romeo was delicate yet desperate. He had waited so long to finally do this, and he wanted to savor every moment he could. His hands trailed down to your waist and held you against him, as if he could not get enough of you.
Your hands reached up to cup his cheeks to pull him closer, your own desperation showing. To think that you would be here now, kissing him. Many days went by just thinking about what it would be like to do this, and you finally have your answer.
When he parted from you, he rested his forehead against yours. "I love you, too. I always will."
