the baby fever is back and i am going feral. so... have a headcanon style Numien piece :')
if you all don't know who Numien is istg
enjoy :)
â§ 18+ (i think we all know where babies come from... and that's pretty heavily implied...)
â§ fluff warning
youâve both been settled in Castle Town for a bit
moving out of Lookout Landing once construction took effect
Numien had been assigned to oversee the guard as well
at least until they find members who are capable of patrolling
itâs a bustling little town now
the market square lively and bright
and even at night, thereâs a sense of joy that wafts through the cobblestone streets
but somethingâs still missing
youâre laying down for bed one night
the room dimmed from the one lit candle on your nightstand
and Numien pulls you in close
thereâs a tension between you
but itâs not unpleasant to say the least
itâs far from that
and that expression he gives you
god, itâs so sweet
ây/n?â
âHmm?â
âIâve been⊠thinkingâŠâ
one of his hands gently caresses your side
his forehead pressed against yours
âCan we... umm... Can we try for a baby?â
this question takes you a bit off guard
youâd both discussed this in the past
but it wasnât anything too serious then
you were just a young couple beginning your journey together
but hearing him nowâŠ
âIt doesn't have to be this very moment. Just... someday. It's your decision, though, so donât feel obligated to say yes just because itâs something I want.â
your heart races as he speaks
and that waver in his voice tells you heâs been thinking about this for a while
âBut for the record⊠I think youâd make a wonderful [parent]. And Iâd love to share that experience with you, if thatâs something youâd want.â
you smile
âI'd like that.â
âYeah?â
you can see the tears welling up in Numienâs eyes
âYouâre sure? Because again, Iââ
and you nod, cutting him off
âYeah⊠I do.â
he takes a breath, exhaling slowly with a nervous grin
