SFW, vague reader descriptions
Sesshomaru, who takes seemingly forever to warm up to you, yet once he does, you can never stop him from donning your lap as his pillow for the night after a long day. Of course, he doesn't need to rest like humans do, but even a demon of his nature needs his relaxation. You just happened to have the perfect pair of thighs to induce it. It doesn't matter to him what your body is like, just the warmth from your body and your scent so close to him is what never fails to break his icy facade and get him acting like putty in your lap.
Sesshomaru, who loves to kiss you with his tongue. Not necessarily your mouth, but your cheeks, your neck, even your hands. He loves giving you short, soft kitten licks when he's truly gotten comfortable with you. It's a display of affection you never truly got used to. It feels so out of character for him, and yet such an open display of affection makes you feel like the most important person in his life. You are, he'd never admit.
Sesshomaru, who displays his love for you through proximity, physical touch, and acts of service rather than words. He's never been one for lengthy, poetic lines, that much you knew. It still did catch you off guard when he began to cling to your side, wordlessly bringing your hand up to his cheeks when he missed you.
On this note, he loves when you initiate touch with him by yourself. He loves when you play with his hair, petting him gently as you hold him in your arms. For a man of his stature, you'd expect this sort of submissiveness to be beneath him. It comes as strange to him, too, as he's not quite used to feeling cared for or looked after. But sure enough, he finds himself sprawled over your legs while you sit, your fingers intertwined with his silky white strands as he closes his eyes in relaxation at the end of a long day of travel.
He absolutely thinks it's a great idea to gift you dead animals after he had his hunt for the day. It's his way of being romantic, and you never found the heart to tell him no. If you're a demon, you might even appreciate it the way he expects you to. Fresh meat, all for you, and you didn't even have to lift a finger.
All in all, stoic as he may seem, he's a dog, through and through. Once he's comfortable, you'll never get this clingy man to detach from you. You see him as your protector, and he sees you as his in return. You're one of the few people he can truly feel safe with, and he's more than willing to show you just how much he appreciates your presence.
