Vanitas x Reader

Fluff/Comfort

Flash Fiction

A/N: I had an idea and ran with it. No editing here. Just pure brainrot.

---

Contrary to what the muses, musicians and playwrights of the new world would have you believe.

Love is a choice.

It's not chemicals. It is not magic or some godsent miracle.

Love is a choice. Every step of the way.

Loving Vanitas is not an easy task. Aside from avoiding human authorities so that you are not staked in the middle of town, it's a close second. Because there are times you will look upon his face and your heart may die slowly, just as he does.

But at the end of the day, you choose.

You chose to leave your family behind, along with your home. You chose to set roots in this pecular city of blue skies and blooming flowers. So that he would never go a day without knowing companionship.

Of course, nowadays, Noé is by his side and they work wonderfully together. You smile fondly at their bickering on the off day you return from work and they're hanging around the café. There's Dominique, Jeanne, and Luca as well. All welcome friendships that you'd have never expected along this path.

And you are grateful. Endlessly grateful that Vanitas will never be alone in grief again. He is supported. He is loved.

But there are still those off days. The low days. When you return from a long day of work, your feet aching and your body begging for the sweet embrace of your soft bed. You retire to bed alone, dosing away without a second thought. That is until sharp tapping takes you from your dreams and you find him at your window.

You stumble out of bed and unlatch the window, with a huge yawn, you open your arms to embrace him.

He's tired. Beaten up, but fortunately not drenched in blood. You can only imagine how badly Noé must look. But all you can manage your attention on is your beloved. This brilliant, broken man.

"Good evening, doctor." You give him a warm smile as always, "How was your appointment today?" He grunts as you help him slip off his jacket. There's tears in the fabric. A problem for tomorrow.

You can see how tense he is. He can barely hold it together for much longer. You simply hum and carefully slip his gloves off, can't have those pricking your already sore back.

You gently cup his face, getting a closer look at the plum colored bruise on his cheek. Your thumb brushes over, feeling grit his teeth, before avoiding it altogether. Then you pull him to you and your incredibly welcoming bed. It was already warmed by you and waiting for the two of you to return.

He can't help but follow your drowsy smile and gentle hands. The weight he kept on his shoulders fell away and the pain in his body, he embraced. Just as you welcomed him.

"Come."

You situate yourselves in your blankets. He slips his arms around you and pulls you into a warm embrace. Just as well, you forgot to close the window behind him.

With another yawn, you snuggle closer.

-vanitas is not an easy guy and you know it, so you have to be very patient with his weird attitudes.

-there are times when you catch him staring at you, with one of his hands on his cheek and his deep blue eyes focused on you. when you catch him doing this he will inevitably blush and turn his head quickly and leave your side as if it were nothing.

-you also notice how he becomes very talkative when you are next to him.

-at first he was not very agreeable to sleeping in the same bed, but after a while he got used to it. although he is not much of a hugger, he does like to cuddle at night when he thinks you are sound asleep, he will cuddle up to your back and snuggle and fall asleep.

-he likes to touch your hair repeatedly and mess it up with his "caresses" because he thinks you look very cute with messy hair.

-vanitas if he ever says something that hurts you, he will gently apologize and become distant with you. at first you thought he was uncomfortable, but once you heard him tell noah that he did this to punish himself for hurting you with his words. he thought he wasn't worthy of your closeness if he behaved like an idiot.

-despite his playful attitudes he is very shy and embarrassed when it comes to physical contact, or any situation that involves your body. if you decided to change in front of him, he would literally jump out the window in a nervous wreck.

-he is not a lover of physical contact, but with you you can notice that he is the person who touches you the most, he always plays with your hair, touches your shoulders, sometimes presses one of your cheeks.

-you notice from vanitas that whenever you talk to him he always looks you straight in the eyes and all his attention is on you, for him it seems to be very important everything you tell him.

-when he is very excited about anything , he tends to kiss your cheek loudly or sometimes both.

Is there any real reason why people don’t ship Domi and Noe more? Like come one they are PERFECT for each other like i want them to get married and treat there children kindly, and live in a cute little house and invite stupid Van to be the best uncle ever.
