Day 5 - Reunion @fluffuary

Veldora x Rimuru (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)

♡ ♡

Veldora was a protector. The Protector. He was given this role and title by his best friend slash favorite person slash the cutest slime he ever did see. Rimuru was not only all of those things but also the only one that'd ever taken a chance on him.

Everyone else saw how destructive he'd been in the past and immediately figured he was irredeemable. Another lost cause in a long line of problems. Admittedly, Veldora got that. He would've been the same in their shoes. But not Rimuru, no!

The cutest slime in human form appointed him protector and then went on a long mission a hundred percent sure that Tempest would be safe in his absence. Of course this was true! Veldora the Storm Dragon was way better at protecting than even he realized himself! Truly, he deserved all the praise! And rewards, yes!

Unfortunately, the only one who could give him either of those things was still not back from his mission. Tempest was safe and running smoothly, that was undeniable. Lately, however, Veldora found a strange new feeling that originated deep within his heart. Longing. He really missed Rimuru.

How long had it been? Why was diplomacy such a lengthy process? Veldora didn't know the answer to either of those questions. Only that he wanted desperately to see Rimuru again. And not just because he'd run out of manga to read.

Though he'd been in such high spirits when given this assignment, quite thrilled that Rimuru trusted him so, that had waned. Now it felt like the days blended together. Veldora felt sluggish.

He flopped face first onto his bed then rolled over. Veldora's eyes fell shut and he sighed to himself. He just wanted to wake up and see his dear friend. Maybe kiss him a little, too. He was sure Rimuru would make the cutest face if he did that. Yeah, that'd be nice. Maybe he’d get to see the guy in his dreams…

"Rrrraaaaah!"

Rimuru yelped when he was suddenly hugged from behind, lifted off his feet, and spun around twice. The world went by far too fast for him to register what was happening at first. But the familiar, muscular arms around him were enough proof that he was in safe hands. Once he was set down again onto his own two feet he turned and looked up at his companion.

Veldora had a gigantic, cheesy grin upon his face. The sparkles around him were practically visible with how excited he was. A telltale sign that something silly was going on.

"Kyahahaha!" The dragon laughed in that signature way of his. He continued to smile from ear to ear and yelled, "Were you surprised! I was trying out a new super stealthy technique I learned from the sacred texts!"

"Yeah, it was really unexpected," Rimuru replied. He'd been really distracted by a conversation in his own head with Raphael in the moment but that was a detail the dragon didn't need to know. Rimuru couldn't help but smile back when the blond beamed at him in such a ridiculous way.

The proud stance and way the dragon practically had smoke coming out of his nostrils was far too silly. He looked like he was just brimming with energy and might take off running at any moment. Whenever Veldora acted this way he reminded Rimuru of a huge cat with the zoomies. Damn if that wasn't the cutest thing he'd ever seen.

"Ok! One more time! Close your eyes this time!" Veldora exclaimed.

Rimuru held back a chuckle and did as he was instructed. This goofball dragon really had no idea just how ineffective his new technique was. Rimuru heard him approach from behind once again. Then he moved to the left, no, he changed his mind and headed to the right. Somehow he swore each step he took was louder than the last.

Veldora seemed unable to make up his mind and eventually just went for an approach from directly in front. It was all Rimuru could do not to laugh on the spot even before he was hugged and lifted off his feet once more. Strong arms wrapped around him and squeezed. He certainly didn't dislike that in the slightest.

"Not bad, huh?" Veldora chuckled right next to his ear.

"You've still got some practicing to do," Rimuru huffed softly. He did his best to hide the amusement in his voice when he asked, "Are you sure this whole thing wasn't an excuse for you to hug me a bunch of times?"

"Can't it be both?" Veldora asked right back.

Rimuru smiled to himself and returned the embrace. Someone that wore their emotions on their sleeve the way Veldora did was so precious in his eyes. It made Rimuru want to protect this being he knew was fully capable of self defense.

If Veldora woke up one morning and decided he was bored and wanted to burn entire cities to the ground, he could. The dragon had the potential to devastate the entire world in unfathomable ways. Yet here he was, being the goofy guy who was exceedingly bad at stealth practice.

Objective: stop simping for gay ships.

Obstacle: That time i got reincardnated as a slime episode 37.
