“All the time we spent waiting for the light to take us in have been the greatest moments of my life.”

Satoru laid sprawled out on the bed, uniform discarded to the floor without much thought, but his blindfold remained. The late afternoon light was soft, but still too heavy on his weary eyes, overused from the days lessons and activities requiring their use. He sighed, long limbs strewn across the comforter, wanting nothing more than to succumb to sleep, but his mind still raced.
The door to the bedroom opened softly, and clothed feet padded across the floor. There was a dip in the bed beside him before Satoru felt gentle fingers trying to work the fabric away from his eyes. “Don’t baby,” his hand went up to meet hers, “‘s too bright.”
“I know silly,” she cooed, “just give me a minute.”
He pulled his hand away, too tired to argue, just hoping she knew what she was doing. She removed the blindfold and his silver hair fell down past his forehead, providing some reprieve as he scrunched his eyes tight. She moved into place beside him, using her body to shield him from the light coming through the shades before gently smoothing out his furrowed brow with her thumb.
He sighed contently and she held back a chuckle, “Better?”
“Mm,” he wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her closer, “better now.”
She ran her hands through his hair, kissing the crown of his head as his face was buried in her chest. “Where does it hurt?”
“Temples mostly,” he groaned.
Her nimble fingers moved swiftly to the sides of his head, applying pressure in small circles, earning another pleased moan from the large man. “How’s that?”
“Would it be bad if I said better than sex?”
She laughed softly at that, “No, I get it.”
“You don’t have to babysit me if you’ve got things to do.”
“This is much better than anything else I could be doing right now.”
“God, I love you.”
“Love you too ‘Toru.”
It only took a few more minutes of massaging his temples for his breath to even out and for her to know he was asleep. She’d do this everyday if it meant that, just for a little while, he didn’t have to feel like The Strongest. Here, he was just her Satoru, and that would always be enough.
A/N: first time giving this a shot, but I saw the post linked above and had this scene play out in my head. song lyric is from “Here With Me” by d4vd, which was the top of my Spotify Wrapped last year lol.
