IDK if you're still taking requests but boy. Fictional scenarios where Reigen gets complimented to no end,, give me unmeasurable joy. Pls a tiny something about Reader™ complimenting him?
Yes, I’m still taking requests for short one shots about Reigen, so feel free to keep sending them in! It really helps keep me motivated to write and build up the confidence/energy to write a whole fic~ Anyway, here ya go, anon! Hope you like it!
“Morning,” you hummed against Reigen’s neck as he stirred awake beside you.
“Morning,” he mumbled in a low, raspy voice. He turned on his side and lazily slung an arm over you.
“Can we just stay in bed all day?” he yawned.
“As much as I’d love to do that,” you started, “we both have to get to work in about an hour.”
Reigen let out a dramatic groan of pain, and you did your best to stifle your laughter. The early morning light filtered through the blinds, softly spilling over Reigen’s features, and your stifled laughter melted into a smile as you drank in the way he looked.
“What?” Reigen asked, pouting, when he caught your steady gaze. “Does my hair look that bad right now?
“No, not at all,” you chuckled. You cupped his jaw tenderly with your hand.
“You look perfect,” you said softly. Reigen felt a blush creep onto his face.
“Shut up,” he muttered, trying to turn away from you.
“Oh, Reigen, c’mon. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about!” you laughed as you grabbed his shoulder to stop him. “I meant what I said, you look perfect right now.”
Reigen’s face felt hot, and his eyes darted everywhere as he tried not to look at you. It wasn’t that he hated the sweet words but, more so, that he felt as if he didn’t deserve them, especially from someone like you. He still couldn’t figure out what it was you saw in him, but here you were.
“I’m not perfect,” he murmured, slowly looking back at you.
“You’re perfect to me. I love waking up next to you every morning and coming home to you every night. I love how good you look in your stupid suit.”
Reigen rolled his eyes, laughing gently.
“I love that you always try your best to save me food when we eat together,” you continued. “I love how cute you look every morning when your hair’s an absolute mess. I just love being with you, okay? I know I probably say it all the time, but I love you, and I need you to know that even if we see each other every day.”
Reigen held your gaze tenderly for a few moments. You’d always had a way with words and always managed to make him melt.
“I want you to know that every day, too. That I, um, I…”
He never could find the courage to say those three delicate words aloud, worried that one day he might ruin every thing they stood for.
“You don’t have to say it, Reigen. I know you do,” you reassured with a small smile. He let out a breath he didn’t know he’d been holding, smiling back at you before pulling you in for a gentle kiss.
