Hi uhh 👉👈 would it be ok to request a scenario with Claude? like he and the reader are best friends, and have a standing routine where they sit in his room and read together for several hours in the evening a couple times a week, and then both sleep in Claude’s bed for the night and platonically cuddle. Except the reader has fallen head over heels somewhere during this process, heart pounding out of their chest every time he puts his arms around them, and is terrified he can hear it, because the last time they were in love they were rejected before they ever had a chance to confess and that friend left them, so they now feel like their affection is disgusting, and they’re afraid it’s going to happen again because Claude is so intuitive and they’ll lose him. So maybe like after they finish reading one day one of them brings the reader’s feelings up, and then Claude starts to understand and reassures them and they have a nice little kiss.
if this is too long no worries and my bad💀💀 Hope the vibes in your life are funky today
A/n : tumblr user its-claude-time your brain is massive. Also thank you for the funky vibes, I hope you also have a funky day!
Its quiet in Claude's room in the dorm and, usually, that's welcome. But the silence stretches while your thoughts spiral. The soft smile on Claude's face, the light from the window, his slightly messy hair, you were a bit overwhelmed.
When you guys began this little arrangement it had been because you had stayed a little too late on accident, and didn't want to risk Seteth seeing you out of the dorms past curfew, so you'd stayed. Back then, you promised yourself you wouldn't fall in love.
But who were you kidding? You already had. You loved everything about him... his eyes, his smile, the way he truely cares about everyone at Garreg Mach, and mostly.. his laugh.
Before you even realise your staring with a soft smile on your face, Claude is waving a hand in front of your eyes.
"Hey there, have you been listening? What's got you sighing and huffing and puffing? Something wrong?"
You shake your head, frowning, "nono, it's nothing I just.. can't focus right now."
"Well, we dont have to read then. We could do something else, try to move around, you know?"
You shake your head again, thinking, "I just uh. Am caught up in my thoughts is all. I've been. Thinking about stuff."
Claude gives you that smile his gives when he knows you're hiding something and nods along, "stuff huh? Is it... a boy?"
Your face goes red and he laughs, "I knew it! Your face says it all. Who's the lucky guy? Please tell me it's not Sylvain or Lorenz I won't let my bestie date people like that."
You groan, even the thought of that makes you cringe to yourself, and you grab a pillow to hide your face in. You muffle out "no, it's not them."
"Is it.. someone in the deer?"
You pause, before nodding.
"Well if it isn't Lorenz.. maybe Rashael? Ignatz?"
You groan, "they're nice and all but.. not them."
"You realise I'm the only one left after them right?"
Claude laughs a little while you throw the pillow at him hiding you face in your hands before he calms down a bit, and leans over, tapping your shoulder, "hey now, why are you hiding?"
When you didn't respond, he frowned, then noticed your shoulders were shaking a bit, and he realised you were crying, "hey, I was only teasing, are you okay? Why are you crying?"
"I just.. don't want to lose another friend."
"Who said I was leaving?"
Another pause, before you look up, hiccuping, and see him smiling at you a bit, "I didn't wanna be presumptuous or anything, so I didn't bring it up but, you're pretty cute too you know."
He chuckles a bit, "come on, you look worn out. Let's just lay down tonight, no need to stay up too late reading." He kisses your forehead, and you lean into it, sighing.
"So uh.. is it official or..?"
"We'll talk about it in the morning when you aren't crying anymore."
