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 :)
✧ 18+ (i think we all know where babies come from... and that's pretty heavily implied...)
✧ fluff warning
you’ve 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
it’s a bustling little town now
the market square lively and bright
and even at night, there’s a sense of joy that wafts through the cobblestone streets
but something’s still missing
you’re laying down for bed one night
the room dimmed from the one lit candle on your nightstand
and Numien pulls you in close
there’s a tension between you
but it’s not unpleasant to say the least
it’s far from that
and that expression he gives you
god, it’s so sweet
“y/n?”
“Hmm?”
“I’ve been… thinking…”
one of his hands gently caresses your side
his forehead pressed against yours
“Can we... umm... Can we try for a baby?”
this question takes you a bit off guard
you’d both discussed this in the past
but it wasn’t anything too serious then
you were just a young couple beginning your journey together
but hearing him now…
“It doesn't have to be this very moment. Just... someday. It's your decision, though, so don’t feel obligated to say yes just because it’s something I want.”
your heart races as he speaks
and that waver in his voice tells you he’s been thinking about this for a while
“But for the record… I think you’d make a wonderful [parent]. And I’d love to share that experience with you, if that’s something you’d want.”
you smile
“I'd like that.”
“Yeah?”
you can see the tears welling up in Numien’s eyes
“You’re sure? Because again, I—”
and you nod, cutting him off
“Yeah… I do.”
he takes a breath, exhaling slowly with a nervous grin
