I may just turn this into a fic if there is enough intrest 🫶🏻
🪷 Niran is overjoyed when Satya tells him the news, but holds his excitement to get an idea of how she feels about it first.
💎 Satya is understandably overwhelmed by it all, but one look at Niran and she can tell how excited he is, which warms her heart.
🪷 How do you feel about this dearest?
💎 Nervous. It’s a lot to comprehend. But I am happy.
🪷 He dotes on Satya, which at first she finds annoying. She can’t even stand without him asking what she needs. He’s always asking if he can get her anything, always so willing to do whatever he can!
💎 Satya leans to accept it, she knows he only means well, no matter how annoying it can be. She’s asked him to tone it down countless times, but she is his pregnant wife and he will spoil her.
🪷 They make adjustments in their relationship to help with the huge change. Niran learns how to effectively handle her mood swings, always on hand with a smile or tissues for any meltdowns or affectionate she wants to give. Satya tries to be more understanding, forgiving smaller things that once irritated her. He’s trying and that’s all she can ask.
💎 Morning sickness is awful for her, and she dreads it. She often wakes Niran up if she can, and asks him to rub her back whilst she vomits. He’s more than happy to do so, no matter how long it takes.
🪷 He goes to all the appointments, and is way more excited than she is at first. He loves to see their little bundle of joy on the screen. Such a small little thing.
💎 Satya likes to see his reaction, it makes her smile. She also likes to know everything and anything about what’s to be expected. Asking lots of questions to the midwife, no matter how strange the question may be. She likes to know her baby is healthy, and if there’s anything she needs to do to ensure it remains that way.
🪷 Look Satya!! That’s our baby!
💎 Yes. She stares at the screen in awe, which Niran adores.
🪷 Niran reconnects more with his family, telling them the good news. His family are over the moon for them both, and this just brings on more affection and attention for Satya. They adore their daughter/sister in law, especially his sister and mother. They love spending time with her and giving her advice and spoiling her as much as Niran does.
💎 She was worried about the changes that came with pregnancy. As her bump grew, she found herself no longer fitting into her comfort clothes, and it upset her. Niran is always on hand to comfort her, and gives her his clothes to wear whilst he takes her shopping for more. His clothes bring her a lot of comfort and he even lets her keep a few pieces.
🪷 Niran loves everything about her during pregnancy. She has that beautiful and radiant pregnancy glow. Her skin looks plump and hydrated, perfectly clear with no blemishes. She’s a little more affectionate with him at times too and he loves that.
💎 She starts nesting behaviour, wanting to clean their home from top to bottom. Everything must remain spotless, and in its place. She clears out their spare room and turns it into a nursery for their baby. Niran gets home and is a little shocked and concerned that she managed to do so much on her on. He tries his best to keep the place clean and tidy. She scolds him for not doing his dishes AGAIN.
🪷 When the baby begins kicking, Satya says nothing, instead grasping Niran’s hand and placing it on top of her stomach.
💎 She watches him carefully as his face lights up realising what was going on. She had been feeling it for a few days and was happy to finally have him witness it too. It’s a special moment for the couple and they love moments like this.
🪷 Niran panics when Satya goes into labour. She’s oddly calm and collected, she had researched everything about what to expect and was happy in that knowledge. She had been sending him information on what to expect, but of course he never read it.
💎 She watches as he runs around grabbing his keys and their hospital bags. He rushes around, dropping things as he goes, his brain running a million miles an hour.
🪷 Where are the keys?! Do we have everything!! Are you feeling okay!? DO YOU HAVE THE KEYS??
💎 It’s fine Niran. Please relax.
🪷 He is there for her every step of the way and never stops with the praise. He tells her how amazing she is, how brave, how much he loves her and their baby. He remains her constant, never leaving her side, not for one second.
🪷 You can do this! You have accomplished so much in your life, this is one more thing to add to that list! I’m so proud of you Satya! Keep going!
💎 She’s close to shutting down a few times but hearing Niran’s sweet words are enough to keep her calm. She hates the idea of many people touching her and entering her personal space, but Niran is quick to explain to anyone her needs, and never stops advocating for her safety and comfort.
🪷 He ugly cries as their baby is born, kissing Satya’s cheek right away and sobbing about how cute their little one is. He can’t wait to cuddle with their child, but absolutely wants Satya to hold the baby first, since she did all the hard work.
💎 She is overwhelmed for sure, but all that stress and pain melts away the second she holds her baby in her arms. A few tears stream down her face as she talks to her baby.
💎 Hi. I’m your Mummy. And this blubbering idiot here next to me is your Daddy.
🪷 Can I hold them now Satya! Please please pleaseeeeeeee!
🪷 Squeals softly when she hands him their baby. Their child is the most amazing thing he has ever helped create, and he invented living light!! He can’t stop staring at their beautiful bundle, giggling softly about how much they look like Satya, which she disagrees on fundamentally.
🪷 I’m going to love and protect you with all that I have. You will grow up with the best childhood and will never face the horrors that your mother and I have faced. You are very loved little one. Daddy loves you!
💎 You’re a good father already, Bua.
💎 Gets baby fever all other again watching Niran be the best dad. She loves to watch him play with their child, make Biolight flowers and be a nurturing force for them. She misses pregnancy too and finds creative ways to tell him she wants another.
🪷 He is all to happy to give her another baby, remarking how their child should have siblings after all. He grew up with siblings and they made his childhood somewhat easier.
🪷 They go on to have at least one more baby. They always wanted a little family and now the couple have that. They are truly happy. Just them and their adored kids.
Been going through a lot recently and my comfort characters are Lifeweaver and Symmetra, the sweetest duo!
Could I get some cute fluffy stuff from them please, if that’s okay 🪷💎 I love them both

“I'm not even tired, are you?” Niran uttered, his smile shining through his words as he laid on his side, watching Satya's expressions carefully. Truthfully, he was drained, struggling to keep his mind clear as their shared TV played on with a bad comedy movie. But, something about the peaceful way Satya was laying on her back, watching the TV with her eyes lidden from the wine was breath-taking for him. He wouldn't dare miss out on a scene that was so beautiful to him, even if he had to keep that to himself. Niran would give anything to tell her that, remind her of how she's so effortlessly able to make his heart skip beats, and yet he couldn't bring himself to. To him, it wouldn't be worth risking their friendship over. So, his thoughts had to remain stifled, silent on his lips and loud in his mind as he waited for her response.
“Not even slightly” Satya replied, a giggle leaking through her voice as Niran watched her chest rise and fall with each motion. She knew he was tired, she always knew, and yet she couldn't help but enjoy these moments together. Niran was someone she never expected to let herself grow closer to, and she especially never expected to find herself doing new things she had once been uncomfortable even considering. But still, she found herself enjoying this long awaited night to the fullest extent - how could she not when the man laying next to her always pushed her further in life, always tested her limits and showed her that she could do more than she ever expected?
Satya's eyes might've been planted on the TV, letting the images play as her mind was becoming slugged from the wine they enjoyed before. But, in her mind, she was replaying the day's events and fondly recapping how well things went for the two of them. They hadn't been able to see each other much for a while - their exams overlapped, with their lectures being on opposite days, so there wasn't much time for the two of them to catch up, talk or enjoy one another's presence apart from the odd instances they'd be in their shared dorm together.
Tonight was their personal celebration of making it through exam season, with the two of them buying a bottle of wine each, some food and renting a movie they wouldn't have to focus entirely on, but could still enjoy together. So, it wasn't surprising to Niran that the night ended with the two of them slightly inebriated, with his bed holding their empty packets, bottles and gifts for them until the morning. Satya often scolded him for the mess of his bed, but tonight was different - her senses were dulled from the wine they shared and so, she was paying no heed to it right now, only focused on the way she felt she melted into her mattress with his warmth engulfing her under the sheets.
“Are you awake still?” Satya asked, her voice soft as she turned to look at Niran. He had let himself drift off, telling her that the night had finally come to a close. Her voice was sudden, making Niran's mind come crashing back to consciousness as he watched to see if she noticed.
When he didn't respond, not knowing what to say or what exactly she had said, Satya took that as her cue that the night had ended now. Niran watched as she turned the TV off, switched the bedside lamp on to illuminate the room softly and gently, and tucked herself into bed facing him. Satya couldn't sleep in complete darkness, and never has been able to, so Niran wasn't going to scold her for it right now. He was too tired to, truthfully, and he was too focused on how she looked laying in front of him now.
Her hair was down and draped across the pillow in a messy way, but still somehow made her seem more sophisticated to her close friend. Niran couldn't help but let his eyes trail over the softness of her skin, the beauty spot that lay on her right cheek, and how her eyelashes complimented her so well right now. He thought she hadn't noticed how much he was observing her, analysing her details. But she had, and a part of her didn't want to stop him, for one reason or another.
The closeness would've been suffocating for her, with anyone else. But with Niran, she felt as though she was addicted to it, in a way. Satya was used to laying beside him, never worrying about him overstepping boundaries or getting too close, even with the single bed not providing much space for the two. She appreciated that about him, and how he was careful with his space and refused to cause her discomfort with the brush of a hand, or a forceful hug when she didn't want it. A part of her wondered, though, what it would feel like. Would it be different with him? Would she be able to handle it with him? She didn't know, and that small thought in the back of her mind made her heart race with possibility.
She moved closer to Niran, testing her limits and wanting to see how he would react. The bed was against the wall, with Niran's back facing it as she faced him, so there wasn't anywhere else he could go right now. And yet, he wouldn't have moved even if he could. Deep down, Niran wanted to feel her closer too, and wouldn't complain about Satya initiating it for whatever reason. But, he couldn't stop himself from asking, checking with her about it.
“Satya?”
“I'm just cold, I thought being closer might help me.”
“I can turn our heating on if you'd like?”
“No need, I'm alright here now…” she replied, her tone soft but her words feeling rehearsed as they fell from her lips. Satya seemed to have had an excuse already lined up, not willing to let herself become vulnerable by admitting why she wanted to be closer to Niran. And yet, he was content with it. He wouldn't argue with it, and let himself believe that was the true reason as his heart swelled from the closeness they now faced with one another.
Satya's arm was lightly touching his now, their skin brushed somewhat with one another. In her mind, it was strange, new and unexpected. But, she enjoyed it. A lot. Her mind was growing used to the touch, but still craving more - it was a feeling she wasn't used to and couldn't help but feel worried by. If she indulged, she might make him uncomfortable. The way his cheeks were darkened under the dim light of the lamp, though, told her that he must be fond of it too.
Niran lay quietly, as though his body was too scared to move too fast against her closeness. He could feel her soft breaths against his cheek, and a pounding in his chest that filled his ears. He couldn't help but wonder if she knew how much her close proximity affected him - surely, she had to, when she was smiling still from ear to ear. Niran was always careful with his touch, not allowing himself to brush against her unless she initiated it first; it was something she had made clear early on in their friendship as something she didn't like. So, right now, he was stuck between confused and content emotions for the woman laying in front of him.
Satya watched as Niran's mind ticked away, something was repeating but she couldn't quite see what. His exhaustion was catching up with him, though, and she could tell he was going to be out like a bulb soon. But she couldn't help but feel as though she needed to be closer, that this small amount of touch wasn't enough.
Satya couldn't bring herself to, though, and she was left with the softness of his slightly hairy arms lingering against hers. It somehow relaxed her more, though, as she found herself drifting off with the silence of the room filling her with a peaceful feeling deep down. Satya would have truly done anything to be closer, to let herself be held by him, possibly. If only she had the courage to move closer, she thought, as she continued to watch the man who shared her feelings drift off to sleep.
