Chapter Text
Soft and dainty, your hands were. And they rested and Diluc’s cheek. He looked so at peace, so beautiful even when he was sleeping.
You combed your hand through his hair, you always loved how long it was, how colorful it was. It matched him, perhaps you could braid it once he woke up.
Years passed and his loved for you never faded, and it never will as he would say.
You two fit together like pieces, though you weren’t in love, oh no. Your relationship was balanced on a thread. You both truly cared for each other but you could never call it “love.”
You were so deep in thought you didn’t even notice the gentle kiss he had laid up on your palm. As if you were brought back to the present you stared into his eyes.
They were so full of love and you almost couldn’t handle it.
”Good morning, my love.” His voice was gruff and deep and his arms circled around your waist pulling you closer to him and he let out a sigh of relief.
You couldn’t help but giggle at him, and you began to press kisses around his face.
Cheek, nose, forehead. Anywhere and everywhere you could. “Good morning my dear.” You finally replied and the sound of your voice instantly filled him with such warmth.
”It’s quite cold, would you like me to make us some hot chocolate?” You then asked, and he noticed the excitement in your tone. “But I want you to stay in my arms...” Diluc was known to be needy, especially in your eyes. You found it cute but you really craved your hot chocolate.
”Oh come on, I’ll be quick. Then we can both get back in bed again, doesn’t that sound great?” He stilled grumbled but begrudgingly let you go. You kissed his forehead for that and made your way downstairs.
Grabbing a pot you filled it up with milk and gently set it on the stove setting it to the highest setting and waited. Though waiting was getting boring so you grabbed two packs of hot chocolate and mugs.
What you didn’t know is that diluc snuck up behind you and snaked his around your waste and sighs, gently placing his head on your shoulder. You smiled at this and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Once the milk started boiling you turned the stove off and poured the milk and both mugs. You sipped on yours with a content sigh, as he did the same.
”See? That wasn’t so bad.”
”You took to long.” Blunt, was one word to describe him and you laughed. He was quite needy indeed though you didn’t mind at all. Soon after you both finish your drinks he practically dragged you back upstairs and under the covers.
He again had his arms around you and you had your hands tangled in his hair, the other cupping his cheek.
He leaned into your touch and his breathing began to slow, it seemed like he was falling back asleep.
With a smile you kissed his forehead and followed him there, after all it was rare when you both got time to rest.
You never married, and you never wanted too. You were most content with what you had. And you couldn’t wait for more days like this, waking up in his arms.
