takumi x reader

drabble





After a long day of strenuous training with Ryouma, all you wanted to do was sleep. Your muscles ached and your head was pounding; you could’ve sworn your body was covered head to toe in bruises.

The walk to your quarters seemed to take forever. You trudged up the stairs and nearly face planted into the hardwood floor once you got inside.

It was oddly quiet in the room as you peeled the armour from your body and slipped into a more comfortable attire. Usually your husband, Takumi, was right there to greet you if he wasn’t training as well. Sometimes he would surprise you with sweet gestures like your favourite freshly brewed tea or an offer to go down to the hot springs together.

There was a dim glow of an illuminated oil lamp from the bedside table. You could see the faint outline of your husband’s relaxed body on the bed. The light highlighted certain features of his peaceful countenance, including his soft grey locks that had been loosened from their ponytail, now cascading down his shoulders and back. You couldn’t help but smile seeing how tranquil he appeared as he slept. Nowadays, there was barely any time for rest.


You sat down quietly on the end of the bed and looked at him with a smile. A stir of peaceful comfort churned in your belly as you watched his steady breaths cause his chest to rise and fall.

You giggled and leaned forward to kiss his pale cheek. However, your Takumi was not a heavy sleeper. The archer murmured a few incoherent words and rolled over. You could see one of his eyes peek open as he looked at you.

   “Good morning, [Name]…”

The delicate pads of your fingertips combed through his hair.

   “Morning isn’t for another 6 hours. How did you sleep?”

Takumi’s arms coiled around your waist, pulling you flush against his chest and enveloping you in his inviting warmth. His warm nose buried itself in the junction between your shoulder and neck with some of his shorter layers of unkempt hair tickling your skin. The subtle scent of lavender emanating from his clean body calmed you.

   “It would have been better if I had you with me… I fell asleep waiting for you.” His voice was laced with slight irritation as he hugged you closer. A few seconds later, you felt his cheek heat up against your collarbone.

   “W-will… will you stay for the next 6 hours? We… can watch the sunrise…” Takumi whispered, his voice so quiet it was barely perceptible.

You blinked a few times, stunned from his straightforward request. Takumi was usually straightforward and stubborn on the battlefield, and most other aspects of life, but when it came to romance he almost always shied away.

Your small chuckle makes his face turn red to the tips of his ears. He hugged you tighter and clicked his tongue to mask his flustered reaction.

   “D-don’t laugh… I’m being serious…!”

You brush his hair from his face and plant a small kiss to his forehead.

   “I’ll always stay with you, Takumi.”
